Currently trying not to vomit over the fact that I essentially just lost almost a thousand dollars brb
#why me. why is it always fucking me am I just not allowed to have good things WHAT have I done to earn this kinda karma#my stupid fucking idiot roommate decided to resign the lease at the complex so I naturally contacted the landlords like hey. how does that#work with the security deposit cuz I paid that years before she even moved in do you guys need to come inspect the place after I leave#and they were like oh no âșïž it just carries over to her. and Iâm like. so. so even though I am not living here nor am on the lease#whether or not I get NINE HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS BACK hinges on this JACKASS not wrecking the place???? actually not even then because say#she DOESNT wreck the place when she moves out TURNS OUT the deposit goes to her cuz itâs her name and account attached to the fucking#apartment and Iâm just left sitting here like how. how is that fucking fair how does that make fucking sense I have to trust that she doesnt#ruin the place OR GET FUCKING EVICTED BECAUSE SHE HAS NO JOB AND NO WAY TO PAY RENT and then also trust her to just give it to me when she#moves out. Iâm actually sick Iâm actually gonna fucking throw up and the landlords were like yes exactly âșïž perhaps you could work something#out with her and she could buy you out of it and Iâm just like. she doesnât have a job she still hasnât paid me for LAST months utilities#let alone this months do you HONESTLY THINK she is EVER going to pay me the 900 dollars Iâm fucking owed#and itâs like does this actually affect anything? no. I didnât budget with that money cuz I didnât actively have it and thatâs not smart but#likeâŠ. 900 dollarsâŠ.. I could have paid off the rest of my credit card with that and also itâs just infuriating that that money is basically#just being GIVEN to this fucking bitch who I KNOW is not gonna keep that apartment in good shape and thatâs again if she somehow doesnât get#her ass evicted cuz sheâs not paying bills why they even LET her sign her own lease there I do not understand she literally has no proof of#income but ig they probably didnât check that cuz she technically already lived there Iâm just so. Iâm so tired and Iâm so done can I PLEASE#stop being the one who constantly gets screwed fucking over in EVERY situation no matter fucking what#while all these fucking idiots and shitty fucking ppl get whatever they want and actively BENEFIT from me getting fucked over???? Iâm done.#Iâm so fucking done I am never living with someone ever again never being finanacially tied to anyone fucking again and you know what. thats#great goes well with me basically being convinced atp to never be vulnerable with anyone ever again and never trust anyone ever again and#never dedicate ANY part of my life in a genuine sense to anyone ever again I will be fucking alone in every sense for THE REST of my fucking#life and thatâs that. itâll be better. this kinda shit will stop happening. financially emotionally psychologically I will stop suffering#because holy fucking shit I canât do it anymore man Iâm sick of it Iâm sick of trying to be a good person and depend on people and be#vulnerable and always uphold my side of the responsibilities and arrangements just to get fucking spit on like man if this is what being a#shit person gets ppl maybe I should try because they sure seem to get all the benefits and whatever the hell they want consistently and#always while I try and be considerate of others and devote myselves to them and this is all I fucking get for it#and ik I KNOW this is just the straw on the camels back and this is a lot of issues compounding and itâs not even about the money atp#but Iâm just. Iâm so fucking sick and tired and beaten down and Iâm tired of trying I just want to be completely on my own#so at least if bad things happen or I feel like shit I only have myself to blame and itâs safer that way and Iâll have to stop feeling like#this and dealing with these types of things UGH

One of the quickest ways I can tell whether someone American has written a fic about UK key workers / government workers is if they have someone say that they "used up all their sick days".
#Paid leave is limited to a certain amount of time a year#and you have to ask for it before the roster is done and finalized#but even low ranking pay bands get at least a few weeks#but paid sick leave does not ârun outâ or âget used upâ#instantly took me out of the fic headspace though it is not the fault of the author#it's just a dead give away#that or anyone refusing an ambulance because of how much it costs#your PAID sick leave might run out but that would take (going off someone I know's experience) about six months on reduced pay#plus a transitional period at lower pay still#before you get on sick leave no pay#there is no way if someone faked being sick without getting caught for five days you would have âused it all upâ#character: cannot take off work despite being sick as shit bc I went to a con for five days and used up my sick leave for it#me: buddy buddy no just take some of your paid leave in advance or swap shifts why risk ending up in hot water for faking illness#me: also five days is about how much you have before you need a doctor to certificate you as needing to be off longer than that#sure it makes for good whump / let me take care of you fic fodder but like... no#immediately takes me out#about fandom#about fanfics

Only just woke up, somehow made it down the stairs, and got hit with the âeveryone has aches and pains suck it upâ talk. Sorry but if everyone had aches and pains the way I did, theyâd have my exact diagnosis. Getting really sick of the way my family forgets Iâm disabled. And when I point this out to them Iâm told âthereâs no reason to get aggressiveâ okay.
#itâs laughable that they were like do you need to rent a wheelchair at the horrible museum/park we went to#I didnât get one of course. and later regretted it. but likeâ#you canât be like yes. isadora uses a cane and sometimes a wheelchair#and then turn around and say well everyone has aches and pains#okay? like yes. weâre all sore from the hikes and the car rides. but you guys can actually walk like are you seeing the difference here#recovery time is Needed. I am going to be in pain at least three times as long and also. canât walk easily! so like#no I donât think you all have aches and pains like I do#then they were like well how do you know what kind of pain im in and like. again#i was like if yall were in the same amount of pain or more. youâd have my diagnosis. so come on what are we gonna do here im sick of this#theyâre talking about going to busch gardens and theyâre like of course isadora will need a wheelchair and someone will have to push her#(accompanied with an eye roll and a muttered why canât she just walk like the rest of us itâs not that bad. but Iâll take it)#and itâs like. you guys can remember im disabled when it benefits you!! being in the wheelchair means fast passes usually đ#anyway. hidden disabilities are so fun!!! like yâall I am disabled enough the state government recognized it#and paid for my medical leave. that is not nothing!!!!!!!!#anyway. I probably wonât be downstairs for long. think im going back to bed after this one tbh. my mother is impossible

I love my job so much but it only pays minimum wage which would be fine if I could get more hours. And it's so infuriating and I refuse to leave because the only reason I can't get more hours is because 70% of my coworkers are old people who are retired and financially well off who are literally just doing this job because they got bored during retirement. They treat it like a throwaway because they're well off and it's minimum wage, meanwhile I (and all the other college students working here because it's actually relevant to our career interests) are working hard to get the bare minimum and trying to make enough money just to live. I wish I had the guts to confront these people and tell them to just move to volunteer status or leave altogether because this really is not the place for them if they're just going to do enough work to not get fired and spend the rest of their time using our work computers to shop for expensive beach properties. I feel nauseous right now I'm so angry lol... like I know I could just get a different job but I shouldn't have to. This is the best job I've ever had and I want to move up into higher positions so I do a lot of work that isn't required of me. I work hard and I work after hours without getting paid so I'll be recognized as someone who deserves more from it. And I even do volunteer events and basically interact with this place in every way possible because I love it. But anyway....
#my boss is so nice like he recognizes my efforts so I'm the only person he ever has fill in when people call in sick#because he wants me to get more from this job too#but he can't just fire people because I'm annoyed by them and I understand and appreciate what he does for me at least#and if he realizes I'm working more hours than I'm supposed to he will compensate me for it#plus he has let me not come into work while sick but still get paid for the entire day even though I'm not entitled to sick leave#since I work like 3 days a week#it's literally just my coworkers who are the problem it's so so so frustrating ;-;

#ah dammit the way it looked before was we were getting paid sick leave *in addition* to our existing pto benefits#but this year's list officialized just has it as *instead of* so now we can't use it for vacations just illness lol.#and another passive cut to our meal allowance by raising prices but not it so yeah lmao i was thinking of building savings through at least#the summer but perhaps I'll just fuck off to the big island sooner than later. it's not entirely unworthwhile to stay in town#but at this rate that's clearly what they're trying to build toward making it#if I'm gonna be condemned to microhousing either way fuck if I'm staying in this industry i once promised never to come back to at all lmao

#UGHHHH . like. i get theyre planning on just updating the sims 4 for fucking ever but like. i feel like its such a shit base and theres only#so much you can do#its been running for 10 years atp like.#idk man i was hoping for sims 5 bad bc i wanted to just have it be like. Well made from the start and like. i hate the current way packs r#structured and if its gonna stay sims 4 thats gonna continue to be the standard. ughhhhh.#also idk how i feel abt cc kits like. i like tht the creators will be paid for work and that console players can have cc or whatever but#idk . i already dont particularly like Kits i think like. idk.... i kinda wish the cc kits would just be free but the creators Obviously r#still played. or have something similar to like#is it like. bethesda i think has its own mod thing that works on console.. itd be nice to have something like that instead#but also ig asking ea to maintain an online gallery of any sort is sort of asking to be disappointed LOL#idk man. im just bummed.... i feel like itd be better to just. leave ts4 behind and if they rly want to Divert from linear sims games they#should like#Make a game that's BUILT for that like. a sturdy foundation that would make ppl want to keep playing so long. idk..#and also like..so many features i personally would want in a sims 5 arent like. things that could be updated in ts4#like we arent gonna ever get open neighborhoods like ts3#and i get those were laggy for a lot of ppl but i honest to goodness feel like it could be optimized and fixed#But. that would be work for ea DJFNFJFN so. wtvr#sry. i try to be like. charitable ik the actual sims team work hard and stuff but it feels like nothing is given the time it needs to be#fully thought out..#also like. 1. i dont think ea would have Paid fixes for their jank ass game which is one of the biggest benefits of mods#at least id hope they wouldnt thatd be disgusting. but like. i feel like a sizable subset of mod benefits is the fixes#like. whenever a new pack drops there are immediately 500 fixes for it in order for it to be At all functional or enjoyable đđđ idk ..#not that. idk ig it only said Creator focused kits so itll probably mostly be cas stuff anyway. but idk man... just a bit hrm to me#ig that does make sense. bc having gameplay mods or anything like that i dont think like. idk if ea would do patches for it or if theyd have#the creator do patches or what#idkidkidk. im just very .#also sims movie i dont careee im fucking sick of like. videogame franchise movies stop it. ik i dont have to see it i just think its lame.#and also im still mad abt the mc movie yeah.

Basically. I got screwed.
I am very sorry for how relatively quiet this blog has been but I've been dealing with a very unpleasant situation the last few months, and now I need help.
Essentially, I tried to help someone out, and she took advantage of me, and I have no way to recoup my losses.
Earlier this year, I moved into a new house. Before we sold the old house, a Now-Former friend ran into some trouble and was about to become homeless with pets and a small child. Not wanting them to be on the street, we offered to hold off selling the old house so she could stay there for a little while, if she could pay the cost of the mortgage on that house (because I could afford one mortgage but not two) while we helped her find somewhere more permanent.
I was not making money from this- since I was still paying the utilities and property taxes, I was actually losing money, but willing to soak that in order to help her save up and get her on her feet.
Instead, she:
Never Paid a Dime towards covering the mortgage costs like she agreed ($12,000 for the nine months she was there)
Trashed the house ($500 dump fees for the trash alone)
Let her pets piss and shit all over the house ($1,500 bio hazard cleanup, $4000 to replace the carpet and other damaged flooring)
Caused an electrical issue in the garage ($900 to repair)
Broke the washer, dryer and refrigerator ($2500 to replace)
Broke the fence ($1000 to repair)
When I told her I could no longer financially support her and that I needed to sell the old house, she illegally squatted there for a solid three months and I had to hire a lawyer and actually take her to court to get her to leave ($2,500)
The resulting stress has been, as you can imagine, stressful.
So stressful, in fact, that it aggravated a the medical conditions my husband had and made him extremely sick. He had to go to the hospital and take time off work to recover. Now the health insurance is trying to weasel out of paying his short-term disability claim.
So net, this woman has managed to cost me around $25,000 and that's not taking into account the missed paychecks and medical expenses. I do not have $25,000, and until at least $13,000 of that is spent to repair the damage she did, I legally cannot sell the house to even begin to recoup my losses.
Theoretically, I could sue this woman, but she doesn't have any money and it would be me paying even more money I don't have to get... Nothing. So I'm asking for help to cover the costs of getting the old house ready to sell, my husband's medical expenses, and other expenses incurred by this debacle:
If you can help out in any way-share, donate spare change, anything- I'd be extremely grateful.
Thank you.

6 inch heels || the proxies
smut minors DNI 18+ TW: stripper!dom!reader, exhibitionism, cucking lowkey, toby's a cute little virgin, creampie, masky and hoodie are assholes but get humbled so its okay
âStop shaking kid youâre gonna be fine.â
Maskyâs voice was rough as he inhaled his cigarette, glaring at the âsmoking prohibitedâ sign. Toby crossed his arms, rolling his eyes. âY-You know I canât help it,â He argued. He sat in between Hoodie and Masky, a small center stage in front of them. Toby was turning twenty two in human years, the brunette a few years away from being frozen in time. Proxies didnât get much time off, if any. If they did it was heavily monitored and limited. Whether or not Masky would admit it though, he went out of his way to get Toby the ultimate birthday surprise. The Operator favored Toby over the others, the little ticking time bomb his not so subtle favorite. So Masky arranged a private dance with an experienced stripper, one that Ben had used before as well as Jeff. That way Toby wouldnât be self conscious about his appearance if it were to escalate.
Masky was ninety percent sure the kid was a virgin, no matter what he told them. It wasnât like Toby had unlimited options so Masky wasnât judging, but he wanted to assist for the kids birthday. So here they sat, in the private room of a club. A body guard stood outside, one Ben paid lots of crypto to keep quiet about anything that happens inside of the velvet walls. Hoodie sat silently, his mind spinning with the sick things heâd rather do to you than just watch. But he would settle for now and let Toby have his moment. Toby sat anxiously, excitement and nervousness coursing through his veins. The three men were waiting patiently, their hungry gazes flickering to the door as it opened.
You were a seasoned stripper, to put it lightly. You had seen it all, heard it all, done it all. It was hard work, but staying loyal and quiet got you the best clientele. Ben Drowned was one of your favorite little pets, the blonde randomly sending you wads of cash for existing sometimes. So when he asked you for a favor, you knew you wouldnât mind helping him out. You knew all sorts of weirdos lived out there, murderous immortals the least of your problems. Fluffing your hair you walked down the mysterious long hallway, the dim purple led lights the only lighting provided. You passed by many rooms, ignoring the sounds of moans and laughter. You took a deep breath as you nodded to your body guard, shoving off your fur coat and handing it to him for safe keeping. You despised leaving with a cum drenched coat. You opened the door, painting on a smile as you met the gaze of three hungry men. The longer you looked at them the more this was making sense, each of them more different than the last.
The one thing that was consistent though? The mask that hid their real faces. Your body guard closed the door behind you, trapping you with three mysterious buyers. "I heard it's somebodies birthday. Whose my lucky boy?" You asked. The one in the middle awkwardly squirmed in his seat. You grinned at the sight of his nervousness. "You must be Toby," You say, walking over to him. The clicking of your heels bounced off of the velvet walls, the three men mesmerized by you. "T-That I a-am," He sputtered. You found his stuttering adorable, causing you to lean over. You planted your hands on his knees, your breast falling out of your top as you leaned over him. "Tell me what you want me to do birthday boy," You purred seductively. Your touch seemed to make him visibly flustered, his hands shaky. "A d-d-dance would be nice," He concluded. You took a hint, noting his vibration seemed to be from your touch. You stepped onto the small stage, gripping the pole as you had many times before. You did a simple twirl, before doing the same chorography you had done dozens of time before. It was the perfect sequence. It showed just enough od your tits and ass without taking them fully out. "Cmon prude lose the panties," The hooded man grumbled, who you figured to be Hoodie. You shot him a nasty look, before returning your lustful gaze to Toby.
A cough interrupted the trance you and Toby were under, your gaze flickering over to him. He had already lit another cigarette, his mask off and beside him. Masky. You mentally scoffed at their rudeness, keeping in mind they named themselves Masky and Hoodie, they weren't all that. You played with the hems of your panties, relishing in the sight of Toby refraining from drooling. "Lose the top already," Masky huffed. Toby elbowed him, shooting him a dirty look. "D-Dude shut up," He argued. Masky rolled his eyes, taking another hit of his cigarette. "She's a stripper not an onlyfans model, we paid for tits, I wanna see some tits," He debated. The two began to bicker, arguing about respecting you. Hoodie sat their silently, his ominous gaze never straying from you.
"S-She's a p-p-person Masky!"
"Kid we paid for a service i'm just simply asking for the service."
In a swift motion you took a step down from the stage, placing your sharp six inch heel in between Masky's legs. It was mere centimeters away from his crotch, the proxies face paling at the sight. "Enough. Dipshit one and two, go over there," You ordered. You gestured your head to the right, signaling for them to move. Masky scoffed, rolling his eyes. You leaned over, grabbing the cigarette from his lips and placing it between your own. Confidently you leaned back, watching his lips part ever so slightly in surprise. "Now doggy," You barked. Masky tried to act like he wasn't intimidated, moving over to sit beside Hoodie. You inhaled the cigarette, plopping down beside Toby. "You want me to touch you baby?" You whispered, exhaling the smoke through your nose. Toby was mesmerized by you, your dominance only adding to your seductive aura. He nodded sheepishly, afraid to meet your gaze. You lifted his orange goggles off of his eyes, before tilting his chin upwards. "Words Tobias," You cooed. Toby swallowed, sputtering out consent. You grinned, your gaze briefly flickering over to the other two men. "You both have permission to watch and touch yourselves but if you interfere I won't hesitate to kick you out," You spat.
The proxies were not used to being bossed around by anyone besides their supernatural boss. You were ethereal, drop dead gorgeous, and your dominance only added to that. Masky's face turned a tint of pink, while Hoodie was suddenly thankful he hadn't removed his mask no matter how hot it was under there. You took one last hit of the cigarette before carelessly throwing it at the two proxies. You hadn't bothered to see where it had landed, your attention turning back to Toby. "Your friends are assholes, but I like you cutie," You purred. You maintained eye contact with his puppy dog eyes, pulling down his face mask. The gash in his cheek didn't bother you, considering you had seen Jeff before. You pressed your lips against his, Toby melting under your touch. He didn't have much experience kissing, but your lips were patient and kind, allowing him to catch up with you. You smelled delicious, your vanilla perfume flooding his nostrils. Gently you placed your hand on his knee, creeping upwards towards his thigh. "Can I taste you?" You purred. His pupils were blown with lust. "B-But aren't you tasting me r-r-right now?" Toby stuttered.
You grinned as you looked down at the noticeable tent that had formed in his pants. Toby realized what you meant, his face flushing red. "O-Oh. Y-y-yes please," He pleaded. You crawled down onto the floor, helping the brunette pull down his pants and boxers. You glanced over at the other two proxies, who were silently watching in awe. Their cocks were hard as well, begging to be let out of their pants. Toby's cock was hard and erect, the tip already leaking precum. You licked your lips as you licked up the underside of it. "I need you to be as loud as you can baby, let everyone know how good I make you feel," You ordered. Toby tucked his bottom lip between his teeth, watching as you fully placed his cock in your mouth. You lowered your head onto his shaft, before beginning to bob your head up and down. Toby's whimpers were so pathetic it was making you horny, your slick beginning to rub on your inner thighs. You kitten licked his tip, swirling your tongue around his slit playfully. HIs hand involuntarily found your hair, unsurely pulling at the locs. You could see Masky and Hoodie out of the corner of your eye, both of their cocks in their hands.
You took Toby deeper, feeding off of the sound of the brunettes moans. You forced your jaw to go slack, taking him to the base. Your nose brushed against his bush, the proxy beneath you trembling in pleasure. You could tell he was getting close to the edge, his cock starting to twitch in your mouth. You quickly pulled off of him, causing him to audibly whine. "Why?" Toby whispered, causing you to grin as you wiped the saliva off of your lips. You crawled on top of him, undoing your top and tossing it to Masky. You shot him a devious smirk before properly straddling Toby. "I wanna feel all of you baby," You purred, running your hands down his chest. You pulled your panties to the side, rubbing your slick up and down his aching cock. "You feel how wet you've made me?" You asked. Toby nodded, practically drooling as he looked down at your dripping cunt. "You've been so good for me. You deserve a reward, don't you birthday boy?" You asked teasingly. Toby babbled pleas of agreement, causing you to glance over at Hoodie and Masky. Both of them were edging themselves at this point, a cocky smile crossing your lips. "See boys? This is what you get when you're a good boy," You laughed, before lifting yourself and guiding Toby's cock inside of you.
You sank lower on his cock, tilting your head back in pleasure. He stretched your walls more then you had anticipated, your unholy sounds genuine. Anxiously Toby grabbed your hips, watching you sink lower and lower until you finally made it to the base. You both sighed in relief, your eyes meeting his. You propped yourself up on his shoulders, using him for support as you began to bounce on his cock. "Fucking hell Toby," You whined, the sound of his name falling off of your lips causing the brunette to lose all composure. His primal instincts kicked in, his hips fucking upwards to match your pace. "That's it baby, such a fast learner," You praised. You could hear Hoodie grunting, Masky biting his lip in an attempt to muffle his own sinful noises. Toby's cock brushed against your g spot perfectly, as if his cock was made for you. Your gummy walls were clinging to him, the brunette losing himself in the pleasure as he fucked you. "You f-f-feel so good," Toby sputtered. You grinned as you grabbed his face and forced him to look up at you. "So do you cutie," You purred.
You pressed your lips against his, both of you groaning into each others mouths as you rode his cock. Meanwhile Hoodie and Masky were panting messes, Masky's orgasm coming first. He rutted his hips up into his hand, obsessed with imagining you riding him instead of Toby. Hoodie was trying to hold on, watching as you slid your hand down to your clit. Drawing the slow circles gave that extra stimulation you needed, your moans growing louder. You nibbled on Toby's bottom lip, your eyes fluttering open. "Cum with me Toby. Cum deep inside of me birthday boy," You encouraged, your walls squeezing him tighter. Toby gripped your hips harder, fucking up into you one last time as he experienced pure euphoria. You cursed as you came right after him, his warm seed flooding your cunt. You both sat intertwined for a moment, panting in unison. You glanced over at Hoodie, who had yet to finish. Masky sat silently, his hand covered in white ropes. You slowly climbed off of Toby, shooting daggers at Hoodie. "You're lucky I feel like being nice," You hummed.
Confidently you sat on the stage in front of Hoodie, spreading your legs. It gave Hoodie the perfect view of your puffy red cunt. Toby's seed began to spill out of your abused pussy, dripping out of you. You smirked as Hoodie's eyes widened under his mask.
"Go on asshole, cum for me."

Part two of mechanic Sukuna
Notes: not proof read, fem!reader
main masterlist
âIâm tellinâ you, man, that chick is gonna send her friend over. She looked like she was gonna faint when she saw you,â Toji called out from under the car he was working on.
Sukuna wanted to throw the wrench in his greasy hand at his friend. The two had been bickering about whether you or your friend would be coming to pick up your car after Sukuna had called you.
He was fondly recalling how shy you sounded over the phone but his friend digressed that you mustâve been scared.
Thereâs no way he looked scary, right? Sure, his hair was an unnatural shade of pink, pointing in every direction towards the sky. Sure, his tattoos would even send a gang member running, but it made him seem attractive. He even got a little eyebrow piercing to have that edgy yet sexy look.
He was interested in someone and it was finally time to put his looks to good use.
âI still canât believe you made me clean her filters. You know Iâm allergic to dust.â Sukuna could almost see Tojiâs sulk. He pulled Toji out from underneath the Cadillac he was working on and pointed his wrench at him.
âPaid you fifty bucks for it, didnât I? So shut up.â
âAre you threatening me with a wrench?â
âJust warning ya.â
Toji scoffed before pushing himself back under the car. There was only so much love sickness he could take.
You braced yourself before walking into the mechanic shop. Even if your first experience with a mechanic wasnât scary, whoâs to say that something bad wouldnât happen the second time?
With a deep breath, you walked into the lionsâ den, clutching your tote bagâs handle to your chest. It was your version of an armor. The battle of walking into a room full of men was never an easy one. You were hoping to be discreet but your heeled boots were loud enough to echo through the giant garage and made everyoneâs heads turn towards your figure.
Your much smaller (figuratively and literally) and self-conscious figure.
As unexpected as it was, your eyes searched for Sukunaâs familiar face. You needed to stabilize your boat on the rocky waters you called social anxiety. Your sweaty hands were starting to leave an imprint on your canvas tote bag until you heard his voice.
âLooking for someone?â
There he was, standing in all his glory. No bandana but he was sporting an eyebrow piercing this time. Your eyes simply couldnât tear away from it. It suited him well. Heâd make a very attractive and charismatic gangster.
âYour carâs ready. Do you wanna check on the AC before leaving?â
You nodded at his suggestion, still too conscious to say anything. You cursed yourself for forgetting to even say hi because you were too busy admiring his piercing. His shoulders blocked everything in your line of sight so you just followed him towards your car, and you were surprised to see that it looked squeaky clean.
âUh, we threw in a complimentary wash. College student discount and stuff.â He answered before you could even ask him. Toji scoffed at his answer but quickly went back to work when he noticed Sukunaâs glare in his direction. You felt squeamish knowing that Sukuna could read your body language a little too well.
But what happened next just made your stomach fold in on itself. He decided to lean in to your car as you sat down to check on the AC. It was like he was taking advantage of the fact that you hated confrontation. âJust tryinâ to feel a little cool. Still hot out in the garage, you know.â
Your tongue felt like it was too big for your mouth with way he was basically nose to nose with you. Did all his customers get such treatment? But then again, who were you to say no to him after he worked so hard to fix your AC. It was the least you could do (aside from tipping but he refused that).
You turned on the AC and he leaned in further, face basically resting on your neck, lips dangerously close to your cheek.
You could smell the musk of his sweat and natural scent. âLooks like itâs working fine,â he said while grinning against your face. You wish could agree with him but it was so distracting to have a man like him so close to you. It was horrifying. You had never let a man- no, anyone so close to your face without your permission. Shit, you wouldnât even let them come into a 3 feet radius of you if you were unsettled by them.
But here he was, pushy and prideful, all up in your space. His hand was dangerously close to your ass with the way he was leaning into your car. You were basically sharing your oxygen with him. âThank you for helping me with my AC.â You were surprised to find out that you finally had your voice back.
You couldnât even look him in the eye while speaking. He was still very close to your face that you were afraid your lips would touch his if you were to turn. You were praying that he would pull away soon and by your lucky stars, he did. But not without breathing in deeply by your neck. Did he⊠try to smell you?
âYouâre welcome. If you need anything else then let me know. Iâll always be available.â You were hoping that he meant during the shopâs work hours but hell, with the way he was looking at you, it could mean an entirely different thing.
âIâll keep that mind,â you mumbled with a slow nod.
After you left, Toji walked up to Sukuna with a can of beer. âI donât think she likes you like that. She looked like she wanted to run out of here.â
Sukuna bumped his can against Tojiâs. âSheâs just shy. I need to warm her up before I start the actual flirting.â
âI donât know. You were so weird with her, man. I donât think sheâs ever coming back. Bet she wonât even send her little friend here either.â
âOh, sheâll come back. And if she doesnât then Iâll go to her.â Sukuna smirked while sipping his beer.
âHuh, how?â
âDestiny,â Sukuna said as he bumped Tojiâs shoulder. The raven haired man could only cringe at his friendâs actions.
And you do reel him towards you. A week later, on a dark and rainy night when your car unexpectedly breaks down while driving.

We're hanging on by a heartbeat- Erik Lehnsherr x Reader
âYouâre bringing Hank, right?â She gritted her teeth, a blush tinging her cheeks as she avoided eye contact, âYes⊠not in that way though.â âI need to borrow him.â âWhat-â She looked confused at first, but then something clicked; mirth creasing at her eyes and twisting her lips as she cocked her head at you, âY/N! You want to make Erik jealous.âÂ
A/N: Thanks for all of the support on my fics!!! every comment, like, reblog and read is GREATLY appreciated. So, enjoy this fun little oneshot I found in my drafts. :)
Word Count: 5,250 / Read it on AO3!
âHeâs gonna be there, Y/N,â Raven sighed, swirling her champagne glass as she pursed her lips at you, âCharles practically demanded that he be there despite his refusals, I think he promised him that heâd get you to speak to him.â She accompanied the last words with exaggerated air quotes.Â
âMhm,â You grumbled, fiddling with your outfit in the mirror, âAnd that means, you are not allowed to leave me unattended. At any point.âÂ
âY/N..âÂ
âNope,â Turning towards her, splayed out on a chaise in her human form; a gorgeous dress accentuating her figure and her blonde hair flowing down her back in waves; you simply shook your head, face stern as you spoke. âIâm not going down that path again, Iâm done with his idiocy.âÂ
âBut⊠what does that have to do with being left unattended?â A smirk curled at the corners of her lipstick stained lips. You glared right back at her.Â
âBecause, I canât-â You exhaled heavily through your nose, clearing the nerves from your chest at the mere thought of speaking to him, âIf I speak to him, I will just embarrass myself- he, obviously, does not feel the same way as I feel for him.âÂ
Raven just sighed, visibly sick of you and Erikâs antics. Behind the guise of being best friends; you and Erik had been playing an erratic, immoral game of cat and mouse, each interaction felt like a step closer to admitting your feelings for him, but then, a subsequent step back at the very same time. He was complicated, to say the least, plagued by the traumas of his past and present. Plagued by the responsibility that he wielded upon his shoulders as a powerful mutant, the expectation of moral compassion; and, the sordid reality of his beliefs.Â
You supported him, wholeheartedly, every step of the way. Your own chaotic mutant gene infecting your ability to appear as a normal human being; the green at your irises and the vines that intertwine upon your fingertips only causing fear, despite your god-given purpose being to allow growth. Maybe thatâs why the two of you had gotten along so well; both of your powers allow you each to manipulate the foundations of the Earth itself- the ability to shift infrastructure and take lives at the merest of thoughts, at the slightest of movements. the hypothetical extent of what you could do rendered you outcasts, even if you had no desire to inflict pain upon others, they awaited with bated breaths until you would do so.Â
Whilst Erik had initially viewed his residence within the school as a prison, you had seen it as a safe haven. The lush meadows and ancient trees that adorned the acres of land called to you, allowing for days spent barefoot amongst the reeds, with only birdsong to accompany you. Erik had paid you little mind at first- having only allowed you fleeting glances at dinner, a nod of the head if he agreed with a point, a slither of a smirk when you amused him. But, soon, he let you in; allowed you into the fortress of his conscience, allowed you to peel back the layers of his anger, and understood his desires for vengeance. You had balanced him out, balanced out the choke of his dark turtlenecks with the flow of your hair; balanced out the harshness of his metal with the brush of petal stems upon your fingertips.Â
As your friendship had developed naturally, your feelings had followed. Abrasive, corrosive feelings. Soon enough, Erik plagued your every waking thought; his essence identifiable within the flow of the river, within the dust upon the floorboards, within the quiet of your room upon nightfall.Â
He was everywhere, and you couldnât escape.Â
You would find him at breakfast in the morning, laughing obnoxiously at Charles; his teeth glinting in the morning light. You would find him in the classrooms, teaching the children their mandatory mutant history lessons; a transfixing performance of great intelligence, his hands enunciating each and every point. You loved watching him teach, perching upon a desk at the back of his room as he interacted with the children, engaging with their conversations whilst simultaneously wielding the ability to hold the students captivated when delivering a lecture.Â
But, most importantly, your favourite place to find him was beside you. He would join you at the lakeside most nights, smiling to himself as you conjured flower after flower, allowing them to flow in the wind, the two of you watching as they found a home upon the tranquil waters. It was there, in the dark and the quiet of nightfall, that you had allowed your feelings to bubble at the surface, allowed your inhibitions to loosen as you had turned to him, studied the sharp features of his side profile; he had turned to you too, an eyebrow raised as he blinked, confused.Â
âI was wondering..â You began, fiddling with the petals of a flower within your hands, watching as his loose, plaid shirt fluttered in the wind beside you; a change in his wardrobe that you had inflicted, âCharles is hosting a formal dinner next weekend.âÂ
Erik huffed, smiling at you; though his lip curled confusedly, âI know, I am the co-head of the school; I signed off on the plan.âÂ
Idiot, you chastised yourself, of course he knew that. Erik had turned towards you entirely now, his head tilted in intrigue as he stared at you, âOh- yeah, well I was wondering, if you wanted to-â
âIâm not even sure why Charles would want to host such a thing, I mean, just an opportunity for the kids to drink too much and make a mess of the house.âÂ
âYeah, well-âÂ
âAnd then one of Charlesâ assistants asked me to be her date for it and I-âÂ
You felt it, in that moment, as your heart splintered within your chest; its foundations shattering and leaving you only able to gape in its wake. Coldness entrapped your body as the remaining petals of the flower within your hand shrivelled and wilted; the once luminescent petals forming a pathetic grey upon your palm. You simply nodded, zoning out and pulling yourself away from Erikâs words as he spoke, unable to hear him any further. You needed to distance yourself, distance yourself from him, from your feelings for him. It would be for the better; allow him to pursue whats-her-face without your claws of envy sinking into his shoulder blades, dragging him away from the semblance of happiness that he deserved.Â
âI-Iâm sorry Erik,â You stuttered, cutting him off suddenly as his speech screeched to a halt, his eyes widening and form freezing as you halted his words, âI need to go.â You wasted no time in bolting upwards, marching towards the distant lights of the house, not sparing him a single glance backwards.Â
âWait, Y/N-â He called, his voice catching in the breeze as he stumbled into pace behind you, âIâm sorry, did I upset you or-âÂ
âNo, Erik, itâs fine.â You turned them, your hair fluttering before your eyes in the breeze as you watched him as he came to a halt, his face stricken, mouth agape as he stared at you, âYou should go with Charles assistant, I bet sheâs lovely..â You turned again immediately, sighing in relief as the house grew closer.
âNo Y/N, I was actually going to ask if-âÂ
âErik.â You snapped, turning once again, for the final time. The levity of your voice brought him to an instant pause, shock prevalent upon his features. âYou donât have to explain yourself to me, you can go with whoever you want to. You donât owe me anything.âÂ
âOh.â Erik was still, his voice low as he watched you, his brows low and his mouth downturned; he seemed, almost, disappointed. Though, his emotional disparity was not your responsibility anymore, âWell, okay, I will then.â
You nodded, a finality; a shallow smile painted itself upon your features, âGood. I look forward to meeting her.â You didnât wait to see his reaction, making the final journey to the house before swinging open the door and rushing to your room- where you could comfortably wallow in the drawls of your own heartbreak.Â
That had been over a week ago; your initial excitement for the formal had dwindled entirely leaving you staring at yourself bleakly as you fiddled with an earring, Raven had continued to watch you; eyebrows raised and mouth curling with mirth.Â
âThis is ridiculous, Y/N.â
âRaven! He said himself-â
âNo, but,â She paused, collecting herself for a moment before leaning towards you, hands clasped upon her lap, âYou havenât seen him.âÂ
âOf course, I have-âÂ
âOkay, When was the last time you saw him?âÂ
You laughed, eyes tight as you refused to make eye contact with her, âI saw him at breakfast this morning.â
âSure, when was the last time you spoke to him?âÂ
Pausing, you cleared your throat, she had caught you there. Your own immaturity dawned upon you as you spoke your confession, embarrassment creating a heave in your chest. âAt the lake, last week.âÂ
âThatâs what I thought- I mean, that man is a brooding asshole on the usual day, but since he supposedly professed his feelings for someone else to you? Heâs been miserable, wandering the halls like a kicked puppy; if heâs even capable of resembling that.âÂ
Shaking your head, you huffed, turning to take a hasty swig from your own glass of preparatory champagne, âMaybe she rejected him after all.âÂ
âSure, Y/N-âÂ
Suddenly, as the brevity of the reality which was Erik bringing another woman to the formal, a wicked realisation dawned upon you. âI need a favour.â You blurted, turning to her abruptly.Â
âOkay..ïżœïżœ
âYouâre bringing Hank, right?âÂ
She gritted her teeth, a blush tinging her cheeks as she avoided eye contact, âYes⊠not in that way though.âÂ
âI need to borrow him.â
âWhat-â She looked confused at first, but then something clicked; mirth creasing at her eyes and twisting her lips as she cocked her head at you, âY/N! You want to make Erik jealous.âÂ
You shrugged, smirking at her; though the sweat at the back of your neck and legs couldnât be denied, âI just- want to cover my own back, he canât think that Iâm moping and sad over him and another woman-âÂ
âBut, you are.âÂ
Only sparing Raven a glare as she chortled, you continued, âI just want to let him see that I have my own date, and that⊠it couldâve been him. To everyone else, weâll just be going as friends, but- Erik doesnât need to know that.âÂ
Before the danger of your plan could pull your mind to a halt, before it could allow your conscience to screech at its own breaks- Raven was up, crossing the span of the dressing room and pulling the door open; telling a nearby student to find and fetch Hank. The young boy nodded obediently, breaking into a sprint down the hallway. Within minutes, Hank appeared in tow; flushed and breathing heavily as he burst into the corridor, half-dressed in his suit as his tie hung loose around his neck.Â
âWhatâs wrong? Whatâs going on?â Hank panted, a hand planted upon the door frame as he surveyed the room; confusion followed within his features as he surveyed the two of you safe and seated comfortably. Only then, did fear truly grace his features; the dread evident within the tightening of his fingers and grit of his teeth, âWhatâsâŠgoing on?âÂ
âSorry, Hank, but you will now be attending the dinner with Y/N.âÂ
âWhat?â He spat, his tall frame stalking into the room as he ensured the door was securely closed before truly entering the room, âNo offence, Y/N, but I donât understand- do you want me dead?âÂ
âWhat?â You gasped in turn, rubbing a hand against your forehead as you shook your head; Raven had nodded, laughing at his fear as she silently agreed, âWhy would you die?âÂ
The ability to do so being somehow possible, Hankâs voice sunk to a hiss, bowing towards the two of you as sweat formed visibly upon his brow, âHave you seen Erik recently? He would kill me.âÂ
âExactly,â Jeering, Raven opened the decanter upon the small table between you, pouring Hank a brimming glass of champagne before refilling her own, he took the drink readily once she offered it to him, taking a gusty swallow as his skin steadily grew paler, or even, bluer. âWe need to show him what heâs missing out on-âÂ
âNo, no.â Shaking his head hastily, Hank held his hands up before him, slowly backing towards the closed-door; a supposed attempt to make a fast escape, âI am not being a pawn in your fucked up-âÂ
âHank.â Raven whined, cocking her head to the side and moving to expose the skin of her leg; pouting at him endearingly- you could only fake heave at her antics. âPlease, for me? Once theyâve sorted their mess out-âÂ
âHey-!âÂ
âWe can have a dance together.â
Hank froze, the frost that had covered his cheeks instantly warming with the rush of blood as he blushed, his face taking the features of a dazed fawn as he practically melted beneath Ravenâs gaze. He soon recovered though, turning towards you and sighing, scratching at the base of his head, âFine, I will enter with you and we can have a dance, that is it-âÂ
âThank you, thank you.â You interrupted him with a rush of skirts and arms flinging around his neck, peppering kisses to his cheek as you squeezed him, âYou are my saviourâÂ
âOkay, okay-â He laughed, holding you at arms length as to protect the ironed linens of his shirt, a genuine smile lining his cheeks, âI need to finish getting ready, but Iâll meet you outside the entrance at quarter past seven.âÂ
âQuarter past? Hank it starts at seven.â You pursed your lips in confusion as he only grinned at you, a twinkle shining in his eye.Â
âExactly.â He grinned as Raven gasped, breaking into applause beside you, bravoing Hank humorously as you pulled away from him, to which Hank bowed sarcastically, hand before his stomach like a true guardsman. âWe need to ensure that he sees Y/N- so, we enter late; put on a little show.â He wiggled his hips as he spoke, grinning at you fake-enticingly; to which you could only fake-vomit, sticking a finger in your mouth and gagging exaggeratedly as Raven laughed beside you.Â
Hank departed then, a wave of a hand to you and a cheesy smile at Raven; that is when the plan jumped into action. Raven surged from her lounged position instantly, moving to check you over; your outfit, your hair, the words you would procure upon entering the formal. With a kiss on the cheek and a wink, she left at exactly 6:55; the door slamming behind the trails of her gorgeous dress.Â
Thus, leaving you with a harrowing twenty minutes to stew on your decisions.Â
Would Erik even care? Or, would he be too occupied with his supposed date? Gazing at the beauty of her dress and the delicacy of her skin instead of your own, honoured that he could serve as her date instead of wishing he could be yours. You forced yourself to break eye contact with your own reflection; disgusted at the pathetic twist of your features as nerves flooded your guts. Taking a deep breath, you shook your head; if anything, Erik would come to the realisation that you didnât have feelings for him anymore and this sordid affair would end- you would go back to being best friends, you would swallow the bitter taste of rejection and smile through the burning fires of jealousy as he inevitably grew closer with his date for the night. Maybe the two of you would replace each other entirely, after all.Â
At exactly 7:10, you left the room; bridled with nerves as you could do nothing but stare at the same features of the room you had been preparing yourself in for hours. Breath in, breath out- the sound of your heels clicking against the empty hallway resounded upon the halls as the inhabitants of the house were located within the main hall- the sound of conversation and light acoustical music a distant mirage.Â
As you walked, you surveyed the walls of the buildings you called home- the murals upon the walls and the gorgeous art-pieces that the residents had collected throughout the years lining the walls. In the rotten depths of your mind, you wondered if this would be it- if you would have to leave, unable to sleep only doors down from Erik and the woman he would soon call his lover. The thought of it made you nauseous, made your knees beg to buckle from the strain of exasperated grief. Grief of what could have been if you had just stayed quiet, content; if you could have just been comfortable within the throes of friendship.Â
At the end of it all, you missed him. You missed everything about him- his inherent goods and bads. His anger and his joy; his technicolour darks and lights. You missed the sharp lines of his face, the way his hair curled without the harnessing of a pomade, the prickles of the hairs upon his forearms and the curve of amusement within his lips.Â
It took everything within you to not detour to the comforts of your bed, to crawl under the covers and hide for the foreseeable- wait for the inevitable to blow over, for Erik to enter your room and laugh at your sad state, just as a friend would; with no romantic-baggage whatsoever.Â
However, before your jailbreak attempt could successfully be enacted; Hank emerged from the adjoining hallway, hands in his pocket and a meagre smile upon his face, âThought Iâd meet you here before you decided to run away.âÂ
Nodding, you sighed; managing a grateful smile his way as he removed his hands from his pockets and offered his arm to you, to which you took it and began to walk towards the hallâs entrance, âI was just working up the courage to do that.âÂ
Hank laughed, the motion jostling you slightly as you stopped in front of the entrance, the door was closed; the event readily in motion behind it, âWe can back out if you want, you can go in now alone and Iâll come down in a few minutes?â
Shaking your head, you tightened your grip upon his elbow; smiling tightly, your voice cracked slightly as you began to speak, the thought of facing Erik and his date alone the most terrifying imagery in that moment, âI canât go in there alone.âÂ
Hank turned to you then, concerned evident within the downturn of his mouth, his hands moved to your shoulders; the weight of them comforting as he sighed, âIf anything happens I- we will be there, okay?âÂ
Nodding, you smiled almost-tearfully up at your friend, your lips curling with emotion as he jostled you; attempting to squeeze some semblance of humour from your state. He beckoned you forward then, one hand upon the door handle and the other curling to rest upon the curve of your waste; that is how you greeted the entire room. Â
Due to the old-age of the building, the door creaked almost obnoxiously, the sound ostentatious despite the constant hum of the room. Immediately, you made eye contact with Raven; snorting into her glass as she failed to hide her amusement. Then Charles, his hands hanging in mid-air as if he was performing a speech to the group before him; though his face changed during the moment of eye contact, his eyebrows instantly raising and his lips curling into a smile as he looked into your mind, then to the hand upon your waist and finally to a point across the room.Â
You followed his gaze, and you could swear your heart skipped a beat as it landed.Â
There, stood Erik; the object of all of your desires, and your afflictions. His demeanour differed greatly from the others in the room, his face was blank; impassive as he met your eye; his hair was neatly slicked back and he adorned a clean, striking black suit. Charming. However, his body language told a different story- the grip at which he held his glass was ironclad, his lips were tight and cheeks haggard; an exact juxtaposition to the sharp cut lines of his suit.Â
But, as you searched the space beside, behind and above him; the only thing that you could notice was that he was completely alone.Â
Stood at the corner of the room, in his gorgeous suit with his exhaust-tinged eyes; he was alone. Not a date, of any shape or size or form, in sight.Â
Your mind only allowed a halting, record-scratch oh fuck before you were herded towards the dancefloor- Charles welcoming the âhappy coupleâ to the crowd, sheer amusement threatening to crumple his confident form as he practically tittered. Hank only rolled his eyes, grinning at you amusedly as he tugged you into the entourage that was beginning to form. You couldnât bring yourself to smile back. Your breath was quickening, panic flooding your chest as you realised that maybe, possibly you had read this whole situation entirely wrong. As you were whisked upon the dancefloor, a drink shoved into your palm and the waltz of fast-paced conversation already hastily beginning- you used every last essence of your will to build a somewhat passable facade, to not crumple in front of the crowd, to not run towards Erik and beg for his forgiveness, for his attention.Â
But, oh, you had thought far too soon. Because, after all, you had garnered his attention the moment your heels resounded throughout the shocked quiet of the room.Â
As you surveyed the crowd, Hankâs arm an all-encompassing weight upon your waist- you failed to stop your eyes from passing Erikâs form. He remained in that very same spot, as if he belonged nowhere else, as if he was sculpted upon the very walls of the building. His eyes were fixed upon your form; no matter the step, position or pose you took- his eyes never faltered from you, never wandered; even when Charles came to stand beside him, amusement towards his best friend tinted the rise in his cheeks. The two of them began to converse, the topic being of considerable tension; seeing as though Charles continued to look ever-amused, whilst Erikâs eyes finally dropped from yours- his face visibly swelling in anger as he glared at his shoes.Â
â-Y/N? Sorry, Y/N?âÂ
Shocked, you blinked, turning back towards the conversation before you; two older women stared expectantly at you, you dug your mind for any recollection as to who exactly they were- maybe some form of charitable donors? After a series of agonising seconds, to which it felt like the entire room had gone silent; each participant waiting to see what was plaguing your mind, you spoke- smile cringing as you tilted your gaze towards the air just beside the woman, âSorry, what was-?âÂ
âWe were asking how long you and Professor. McCoy have been together?â Obnoxiously red-lipped woman-potential-rich-donor spoke, her lips stretching grotesquely as she smiled.Â
âOh, well-âÂ
âWeâve been dating casually for a few months.âÂ
âWhat-âÂ
âOh, that is wonderful!â The woman spoke, clapping her satin-gloved hands together and bouncing on her heels.Â
âYeah..â Smiling airily, you ensured that oxygen was correctly being executed from your lungs; that you were definitely awake, alive and breathing.Â
âItâs been a whirlwind,â Hank smiled, jostling you with the hand gripping your hip, âBetween me and you, things are really starting to heat up-âÂ
Through the excited gasps of the women you realised with abject horror that Charles and Erik were edging towards your circle; Charles leading Erik with a clutch upon his elbow, to which Erik seemed to be fighting unapologetically.Â
As if firing the perfect shot, at the perfect time and place, the red-lipped woman squealed at an obscene volume just as Erik entered perfect earshot, âOh, just imagine, Y/N McCoy. Itâs perfect-â
The sound of a glass shattering splintered throughout the room, halting the conversation and what felt like the very air you were breathing. Blood instantly began pouring from Erikâs hand as the surrounding partygoers jumped back in fear, the entire room watching with wide, halted eyes as he shuck the glass from his grip.
âErik-â Trembling, you swallowed; feeling your heart hammer within your chest as you watched him, the loosening of Hankâs hand pulling and wrenching at the pit within your stomach. You had well and truly done it this time.Â
Erik seemed to ignore you, shrugging off the onlookers that attempted to come to his aid; allowing the air beside your head one last scathing glance before he departed from the crowd, from the room entirely. Wasting no time in following him, you dumped your purse and drink into Hankâs arms before breaking into a full sprint; throwing any sense of formality to the wind as you shoved through the crowd whilst simultaneously calling to his retreating back.Â
âErik, please-â You called as you finally emerged from the crowd, the main doors slamming behind you as you stopped before him. His back was turned, feet poised as if ready to retreat, though he had stopped. Droplets of blood resounded against the linoleum, a steady flow of red dribbling from the cuts upon his hands, âErik, you need to-âÂ
âWhy didnât you tell me?â Erikâs tone was demanding, his back clenching as he resolutely refused to turn, to face you.Â
âWhat-â
Finally, he turned; spinning on his polished heel and stalking towards you- face practically carved from stone, his gaze bleeding into yours, âWhy didnât you tell me about you and McCoy?â He practically spat Hankâs name, the name convulsing from his lips.Â
Scowling, you straightened your back; standing strong as you grit your teeth at him, âWhy would that have been any of your business, Erik?âÂ
Scoffing, he backed away; scrubbing his non-injured hand upon the stubble upon his jaw, almost in disbelief, âOf course- why would it be?â He laughed sardonically, throwing his hands in the air and shrugging his shoulders.Â
âWhat is your problem?âÂ
He seemed to still, to quiet; his throat bobbling heavily as his eyes bore into you- eventually, he looked away, lip clutched beneath his teeth, âYou know what, nothing-âÂ
âOkay,â You nodded, feigning deep thought, âLet me rephrase then, why do you care?âÂ
Erik blinked, almost in disbelief, âCome on Y/N- you know exactly-âÂ
â-Because last I heard, you had a date for this-âÂ
â-Who told you that?!âÂ
âYou!â You were shouting now, chest heaving at the patchworked conversation presented before you, âYou did, Erik!âÂ
He was truly in disbelief now, shaking his head and struggling to find the words; eventually he settled for one, insignificant word. He practically drawled it, set up a board and sketched out the word at agonising speed, âWhat?â
Laughing, mostly to yourself, you gestured towards him, âYou told me.â At his silence, you opted to continue speaking, âAt the lake, you told me you were going on a date with Charlesâ assistant.â
âI never-â Erik groaned, hand moving to pinch the bridge of his nose as he sighed; visibly exhausted, âI know for a fact that I did not say that because-,â He was the one to laugh then, hacking at his chest as he forged his words, â-Because, you interrupted me, left and then havenât looked at me since!â He seemed to check off the series of events on the fingers of his uninjured hand before waving his clenched fist in your direction, âSo, I am assured in the knowledge that I did not say that, because I havenât spoken to you in two weeks!âÂ
âOkay, well, I have looked at you-âÂ
â-No, you havenât.âÂ
Slamming your mouth shut, you scowled, crossing your arms petulantly; he simply watched you, the turn of his mouth pulling in its usual smug fashion. âY/N-âÂ
âYour hand is covered in blood.â
Smiling, he looked down at it, flexing his fingers before turning his gaze back towards you, âI know.âÂ
âSo who did you come with then?â You shrugged, completely disregarding your worries regarding his hand, âShouldnât you be with her instead of-âÂ
âY/N, you are completely missing the point⊠I didnât come with anyone.âÂ
âOh,â You breathed, desperately attempting to hide the relief evident within your exhale, âWhy?â
âBecause that night at the lake,â He exhaled through his nose; his eyes flitting in between your face and the wall as he breathed, he seemed to be trembling slightly as he conjured the words adjacent to his evidently racing thoughts, âI was going to ask if you wanted to accompany me.â
âOh.â You repeated dumbly, utterly gobsmacked at his words.Â
âBut, itâs now evident that McCoy beat me to it, so-âÂ
âMe and Hank arenât together.â The words left you in a rush, you knew that your wide eyes mirrored Erikâs own perfectly; shock evident within both of your features.Â
âOkay-âÂ
âI completely jumped to conclusions and I thought you were bringing a date, so I- I didnât want to show up alone so I borrowed HankâŠfor the night.âÂ
âYou borrowed Hank.â
â...Yes.âÂ
Erik suddenly burst into laughter; his face morphing to accustom the sudden change in emotion as he outrightly laughed at you. You could only stand there; slightly offended, slightly relieved at the upbringing of events.Â
Erik had wanted to ask you to be his date.Â
Did Erik have feelings for you?
âOkay, just to be clear, you werenât asking me to the dinner as f-â Your words were abruptly cut off as Erik suddenly broke into a stride, marching up to you before placing his hands upon your cheeks and pressing his lips to yours completely, inhaling heavily as if he wanted to ingest you, taste you. You immediately kissed back with the same fervour, intertwining your fingers with the short hair upon his head and accustoming your senses to the scent of blood that was now smeared upon your cheeks.Â
Eventually, unfortunately, he pulled away; gazing down at you with hooded eyes. You watched as he bit his tongue, the motion tightening his jaw as he stared down at you, vision unguarded; almost unsure. You knew you looked like something straight out of a horror story, blood smeared upon your cheek and the bridge of your nose- you could only sigh blissfully as he ran his fingers through the mess he had created, spreading it until his finger reached your lips.Â
You both stilled; breaths catching in your chests.Â
After a long moment, you nodded, your eyes soon fluttering closed as he began to spread the liquid upon your lips- the copper tang of his blood immediately permeating your senses. His eyes were practically drooping now; his irises blown out in pleasure. Keeping your eyes upon his; you gauged his every movement as you sucked his finger into your mouth, effectively cleaning it and your lips of his blood. You knew in that moment that this was forever; this connection that had been forged between your souls, intertwined at each end and tightened right in the middle. Forged entirely from his very own metal.

you fucking hate your job.
unfortunately, you also need it.
some old money family hires you to play housekeeper for their weird ass son. satoru gojo, you think.
he's handsome. just looking at him is a treat; stark white hair, bright blue eyes, a face like an actual idol.
and then he opens his mouth. illusion ruined.
whatever. you don't care that much about his "wow! you really didn't dress up for work, huh?" and "so, let me guess... no boyfriend?" youâve dealt with worse.
you'd been excited when you got this job. you're broke. the pay is great. you're ready to do anything to not get fired.
you keep the apartment completely spotless, despite how many candy wrappers and packages he leaves around, the disaster that is his stupid fancy bathroom.Â
seriously, who leaves soap and shampoo everywhere like that? who jerks off in the shower that often? throws towels around and knocks bottles and toothbrushes over? it's like he's trying to leave a mess.
you do his laundry, which he just leaves on the floor like a goddamn animal. there's some clothes with gross, crusty white on them.
one time, you'd caught him staring at you while you picked it up, smirking all the while.
this is the guy youâre being paid to look after. and youâre fucking trying! god, do you ever try!
you cook meals from scratch, hours-long, intensive processes. you check his fridge, shamelessly dig through his garbage to see what he likes and try to make things he'll enjoy.
he leaves empty boxes of takeout on the counter, your homemade dinner in the trash, untouched.
it's in your contract. you can't not cook for him. and you can't eat anything, either, not when you're terrified of getting fired and he obviously likes to make you miserable.
and your landlord just informed you last month - rent will be going up. and not by a small amount.
you'd just finished digging yourself out of one hole and life kicks you right back down.
you don't know how you're going to make rent this month. fuck, you don't even know what you're going to have for dinner. if you can afford dinner. if you can even afford to put the heat on tonight.
it's not even a question. obviously the answer is no.
sitting on the plush, luxury couch in gojoâs apartment, you bury your head in your hands, and cry.
maybe you can get another job? but there's only so many hours in the day. you're so fucking sick of working all the time. you already do.
is it too much to ask for life to cut you a fucking break?
"what's wrong?" your least favorite voice interrupts - and a hand on your shoulder, shaking you, none-too-gently.
"don't tell me..." there's that smugness, "are you cryin'?"
"sorry, i just need a minute." you say, swallowing your anger to look him in the eyes. "i just got some bad news. my landlord is raising the rent next month."
"oh?" his tone is only getting worse, "so what? just move out. or get some roommates, or whatever you poor people do."
god, the fucking mouth on this man.
"soooo? sounds like poor planning on your part," satoru says, casually leaning onto the edge of the couch, "i just don't get why you're crying about it. like, that's kinda pathetic, you know?" he snickers -
SLAP
dead silence. a sting on your hand. satoru's face bent to the side. you don't even regret it. not right now, as angry as you are.
"you-" a rant is just about to spring from your lips, and then -
satoru grabs your hands, pulling them into his, right in front of his face.
his cheeks are dusted red. pretty eyes wide and dilated, fixed on you. mouth twisted in a grin.
you glance down to the front of his pants, where a noticeable bulge has formed.
"do it again."
#jujutsu kaisen#satoru gojo#gojo satoru#satoru x reader#gojo x reader#it's not exactly smut but it's not really sfw#god he's such a jerk. he loves being a jerk#and the moment you slap him for it he will fall over and bare his belly like the dog he is#i have more content like this. reader is VERY upset about the homemade cooking being thrown away#something something making him eat it off the floor#just. hngh. gojo lying prone on the floor. maybe on his stomach#i love making him punchable and then having him get off on being punched#he's exactly the sort of awful gorgeous man who would piss you off bc he's hoping you'll beat him up for it

THE MAJORâS WIFE
warnings: mentions of miscarriage, adultery, nsfw, marital problems, oral (m! receiving), spanking, being turned on even when your brain isnât in it, bucky in 1x04, bucky married pre-war, slight age gap bc reader can come off slightly immature (i think?) angst, historical inaccuracies, new mediocre writer be nice
summary: John Egan gets to know his wife again
word count: 9.7k
notes: iâm not sure where this came from i wrote it all today and got no part of my research paper done. thereâs really no point to it and also irl john egan was actually really close to his mother so i emphasized that here. he wrote to her so much. no disrespect to any of the real people, this is based on the show/show timeline as well.
Lila gets the call on the 2nd of October and her dreams come true.
Not entirely, no. The real dream would be having him home safe and the tragic war being over but she knows how fortunate she is to have the next best thing happen. Her husbandâs been granted a few days leave and Colonel Harding believed it would do Major Egan some good to have his sweet, young wife join him during those days overseas. For the good of Johnâs mental health the Colonel or the President - or whoever was in charge, Lila really had no idea - had agreed to pay for her ticket and their hotel. There was only one thing they asked for in return and although it wasnât explicitly said, Lila caught their drift: sort your husband out.
Lila knows it would do her no good to sit and wonder how horribly John must be doing in order for them to declare an all expenses paid trip for his spouse. All she does is worry for him anyhow so she forces herself to focus on the one good thing of the entire ordeal - sheâs going to see her man.
Thereâd been letters, although not as many as she liked and she tried not to let it show how it hurt as every other wife received more than one letter at a time. Her John wasnât the sort, she knew that when she married him. He was the kind of person who needed endless skies and land to maintain his sense of stability. Having him cooped up would do him no good and she partly wondered how much of what he was struggling with was the trauma he witnessed in the air and how much of it was feeling caged on base. At least his plane, good olâ Mugwump (he wrote about her quite often) offered him the opportunity to head anywhere he wanted.
The only person he wrote consistently and readily to was his mother. It was rare if a week went by and she received no letter. During these instances it was more times than not an issue with the postal service.
Be that as it may, Lila knew who she married and it made her love him no less so she tried not to let it get to her. His mother was a saint. Firm and strong and loving all the same. Lila would have never survived sending John off if his mother wasnât who and how she was. She held Lila at night when her cries woke her and she let Lila sleep in his old childhood bed. She kept food on their table and ensured everyone got their work done through the worry.
When John first left and Lila was sick to her stomach and vomiting multiple times of the day it was his mother who consoled her through the night when her sheets turned a crimson red and any ideals of having their baby through the war was lost.
Frances Egan was the glue holding them together. All of them, even her son who was an entire ocean way - so no. Lila would not be angry that she was Johnâs preferred pen-pal.
âYou fix him right up,â Mama Egan had said in lieu of goodbye when leaving her at the airport, âyou give him the loving he needs as his wife and the smacks he needs from me to get on the straight and narrow before sending him off to continue saving the world. You do it for him, not for any of them war bastards. You hear me?â
All Lila could do was nod. Dropping her bags on the floor and clutching her pseudo mother tightly. She was excited as she was frightened.
They had only gotten two months together before he had been pulled away. She didnât want to complain, loads of women had gotten less time at all while others had only ever been left with the promise.
But her two months as Mrs. Egan? Theyâd been a dream. Her man was a romancer. He hadnât hesitated in introducing her as the newly (and younger) Mrs. Egan, always resulting in an arm slap from his mother, he held open doors and he never stopped courting her; however she thinks the best times were when he was teaching her how to act married.
In their bed, at a home he had spent a year building for them. Using any extra pennies he had to pay off younger boys to help him hurry it along. Giving her the wrap-around porch she had always envisioned.
He showed her how to kiss. How to undress him. He had laid her underneath him, using his large frame to cover her completely, protecting her from the cold as he threw the sheets off them and making her feel tiny compared to him. She had never felt safer.
It had hurt the first time but he had held her through it. Never allowing any inches of space between their bodies; as if telling her they were in it together. Sheâd always known he was large, everything about him was large in general, but she never thought how much it would hurt to have all of him fit inside her. Lila hadn't wanted to disappoint him so she tried to muffle her tears and whimpers but he had swallowed her cries and gone slow, soft.
âIf this is it, itâll be enough,â he had promised, only about half way inside her and wiping away her tears with his thumbs. As a thank you she had taken that calloused thumb into her mouth and sucked. He allowed her; hiding his face in her neck and pressing wet kisses along there.
And for the first few times that had been it. She couldnât take all of him and his thrusts couldnât get too deep so he would only slip inside until her tight hole resisted and pulsed and heâd hump against that spot until reaching his pleasure.
âDo other girls take all of it?â She had asked a couple days later, trying to wrap her head around it.
She was no idiot. John Egan was no virgin.
âYes.â Lila could always count on him to be honest. At least there was that. Meanwhile she couldnât even fully pleasure him. She was failing as a wife. âHey,â he lay facing her and she lay on her back. He tapped her cheek until she turned her face. âYouâre my wife. Thatâs what makes this feel better.â
And she had beamed at his reassurance even though she didnât feel much better. She knew John would never push her, and he couldnât stand to see her cry, so if she ever wanted to learn to be a good wife she would have to take it upon herself.
So thatâs what she did.
He was always on top and she was always on her back. Thatâs the first thing she had to change. From her understanding of it, from her talks with friends that always ended in giggles and blushing cheeks and from what she learned from John, it could be done in many different ways.
âI prefer to be in charge,â her school friend, Linda, had admitted to her. âNot like that -â she clarified, cheeks pink, âJust - if Iâm gonna take it, Iâd rather do it at my pace. Be on top. Some husbands are good like that. Theyâll allow it.â
And knowing her husband wasnât just good, he was great, she knew he would hold no qualms about it. The next time they lay in bed kissing it was easy to turn him over and straddle him. Move her wetness against his belly to let him know there was still more she just needed him to accept it.
Except he thought she was asking him to do it so he flipped her on her back again. And without breaking their kiss, she turned him over again.
It was more like they were wrestling.
Lila pulls away from his mouth, reluctantly, noticing his lips were wet and red and swollen and wondering if hers were much the same. They had been kissing for so long her mouth felt raw.
She loved it.
Straddling him, she reached behind her, feeling him standing straight and hard against her backside in between her cheeks. Sticky.
He gasped, bucking into her fist with a loud, guttural groan. It was so manly she rocked against his stomach again in need.
âFuck, baby,â he grunted, âwhatâre you doing?â
âI want to try it like this,â she breathed, leaning over to whisper in his mouth, her tiny hand still wrapped around him and lining her up to her hole. âI want it all.â Lila clarified.
And John allowed it, like she knew he would. Let her take control and go at her pace. Let her swivel her hips on the way down to help with the tightness of being stretched so wide and thick.
Nothing but curses and promises of love leaving his lips. Gasping mine, mine, mine and my perfect fucking wife and Iâm gonna fuck you forever.
He felt large inside of her, like if she was being split in two but it felt so good as the tip of him repeatedly hit a spongy part inside that had her coming with no contact to her clit for the first time.
She was beautiful, red splotches appearing on her body from the heat of their love-making, her hair tangled in his fists, her mouth falling open as she threw her head back - all of it was too much. He was flipping her over and pounding into her trying to chase his peak and a second one from her, their headboard banging against the wall in rhythm with his thrusts.
Things changed from then on. Sexually, that is. Becoming aware of how badly she needed to feel like she was pleasing him, John was not above using it against her. Like letting him lick at her.
âGood wives allow their husbands everything,â he would say, lips wide in a smile and eyes bright at the prospect of getting his way but Lila always knew the choice was really hers. He would respect what she wanted.
He was just too damn addicting. She couldnât stand to tell him no.
His favorite times were when she allowed him to sit her over his face and let him feast. It drowned the outside world for him and he kept at it even after she had reached multiple orgasms and was pulling on his hair and the only thing keeping her up was his forearms locking around her thighs.
Her favorite was when he allowed her to taste him at the same time he was licking her. It was a tie between those times and when he held her down until all of him was in her mouth and she was spluttering, choking, gagging. Knowing she made a filthy vision and he adored it did something to her.
Now she was in London, closer to him than she had been in years, and all their intimacies were within reach. She could almost taste him, feel him petting back her hair and settling a hand at the low of her back. She still remembers the smell of his after shave and sweat, how heâd come into the kitchen asking for some of her homemade lemonade to help with the heat.
Jack Kidd was tasked with picking up Mrs. Egan from the airport and having her arrive at base with him. She remembers meeting him a couple of times before John shipped out early. Originally she was meant to wait for John at their hotel but there had been an issue when planning her flight and she arrived sooner than intended.
âMaâam,â he greeted, placing a friendly kiss on her cheeks and taking her bags from her. âBuckyâs gonna be happy as hell to see your face.â
The tone in his voice - relief? alleviation? - had some of her happy wife's facade crumbling. How badly was her Johnny hurting that everyone was looking at her at his only chance to remain sane or alive?
Stop it. Maybe everyoneâs just aware Johnny misses you. Youâre his wife.
âNot as happy as me, I wager,â she returned with a smile. âIâm glad to see youâre doing okay, Jack. Glad to see you still kicking.â
His shrug didnât soothe her worry but she saw him try to mask it with a smile.
âAll we boys can do is pray.â
She placed a hand on his shoulder, gathering his attention. âYou boys have got the prayers of our entire country protecting you.â
Jack simply nodded in response.
For the most part the ride to base was quiet. Her bags would be kept in the trunk until her and John were ready to drive out to London in a couple of hours and until then, sheâd be his surprise at the officerâs club. Silver Wings, Jack called it. Where all the boys gathered and had drinks and celebrated accomplishments. And where some chose to mourn, too.
Her stomach was turning as she neared the hut, following Jackâs footsteps. There was so much that could go wrong and although this was meant to be a surprise, the U.S Army showing their gratitude towards a brave Major, she suddenly wished she would have called John and told him. She wished he knew so that she wouldnât have to walk in feeling alone and unwanted.
Not that Lila thought John would turn her away, she simply wanted to have him hold her hand as she walked through the threshold.
âStick close by,â Jack murmured, being respectful of where he touched her before deciding to lead her by her shoulder. âIt gets crowded but Iâll take ya to him.â
As she walked through different groups, she felt the offending eyes of men and women alike. Wondering who she was. With a pang in her heart she realized she had met Johnâs squadrons before but all these crews were new. The boys she met, most of them at least from what she could tell, hadnât made it. John never wrote about who passed away (except to inform her of Curt) ; most of their letters were him expressing his love and how he missed her so and asking what she got up to.
Having walked around the roundabout bar in the center of the room, her stomach in knots and fingers tangled in front of her - she caught sight of her husband smack middle in the dance floor. Pressed against a beautiful brunette.
Lila caught sight of him before even Jack did. Thatâs how connected she was to her husband. Jack whistled from beside her to gain Galeâs attention who was resting against the bar holding his signature ginger ale, also watching John Egan chat up the woman he was swaying with with something like disapproval in his eyes.
His large hands were occupying most of the space of her waist, keeping her body tethered to his as she laughed.
âLila,â he gasped, eyes wide. He was smart enough to not turn and look at his buddy. To act as if nothing was amiss and she expected nothing less from Gale Cleven, âdamn it all to hell. Youâre a sight for sore eyes, Mrs. Egan.â
Because he was close to John, he didnât hesitate in wrapping her up in a tight hug and pressing a kiss to her tinted cheeks. He knew John wouldnât mind.
When he pulled back she patted his chubby cheek in return, âYou still shame the rest of us with your good looks, Gale,â she laughed. âIâll let Marge know when I see her next.â
Lila also knew she would share with Marge that while Gale was being loyal, standing off to the side her husband was exchanging oxygen with a woman on the dance floor.
His cheeks tinted at the mention of his girl. Buck and Bucky were both aware Lila and Marge wrote to one another and visited each other whenever time made it possible.
âColonel Harding said Major Egan was in need of something from home,â she said, studying his reaction to see what she could read but Gale had always been aloof, cold. He wasnât close to her like he was with Marge and John.
Gale thought back to a few moments earlier when John had disrespected their Colonel and all his actions before that too - disrespecting superiors, drinking more consistently, becoming angry - hopelessness in his eyes.
âHeâs in need of you Lila,â Gale clarified and it wasnât lost on either one of them that he they were referring to was currently on the floor wooing another woman.
âHoly shit! Itâs Mrs. Egan!â Hambone animatedly announced and suddenly it felt like the eyes of everyone in there were on her. Her cheeks tinted pink, never having been one for the spotlight like her husband.
She was greeted with welcoming cheers and hugs.
John, for his part, disentangled from the woman he was holding at the mention of his missus. He was sober enough to appear sheepish and guilty, but in the next second it was gone as he stalked towards her. Determined. Quick. His smile growing the more he neared like he was becoming more aware she was really there and it wasnât a fucked up scenario in his head.
âGod, Lila,â she managed to hear him say before she was elevated in the air, his arms tight around her waist and lifting her high so they were at face level and he could kiss her. Channeling his love and exuberance and aggression into kissing his wife. âItâs you, itâs you, itâs really you,â he was saying in between smooches, âI missed you. So fucking much, doll.â
Basking in his love she didnât feel the need to mention the woman that was so kindly keeping him preoccupied before she entered.
She couldnât help the first tear from falling or the rest from following. It was like the tightness in her chest unlocked as she finally got to hold him and feel his heat surround her. He still smelled of after shave and the same hair gel that was kept in their bathroom at home but he tasted strongly of whiskey and cigarettes and strawberry lipstick.
John tucked his face into her neck, setting her down and bending to her level. Sniffling in there as he continued to hold her.
âNone of that,â she did her best to stop her voice from wobbling or breaking, âweâre together. Thatâs all that matters.â She drew his face out from where he had hidden to pepper him with a few more kisses.
None of it was enough.
The rest of the guys were kind enough to return to the dance floor and act like they couldnât see them.
âWho? What - why? How?â He was obviously having trouble forming coherent thoughts in between the kisses he continued stealing from her.
She was crying and laughing and trying to return all his touches. It was a terribly difficult ordeal but she had never been happier.
âColonel Harding called and said you had a weekend leave. He said he talked to some of the higher ups but they couldnât allow you a leave home so this was the next best thing,â she explained, cupping his cheek as she rubbed her thumb over his cheekbone. He had minor scars that werenât there before.
She wanted to kiss every single one of them.
He was still bent towards her height, taking her in as she was taking him in.
She forgot how blue his eyes were.
He was whole. Complete. Hers.
âYouâre here for the entire weekend?â He asked to confirm and she nodded, laughing when he lifted her again with a loud whoop to celebrate. That got a few of the guys to join in although they had no idea what their Major was celebrating.
âI need you,â his voice suddenly dropped, setting her down as he turned to the door. âLetâs go.â He was buckling up her coat to make sure she was protected from the freezing London air. She was lucky he was too far gone to scold her for arriving with it unbuckled in the first place - she could get sick.
âJohn, John - relax, my sweet man,â she laughed, cupping his cheek to get his attention. âWe can stay for a while. We donât have to go yet.â
Itâs why she was at the officerâs club in the first place. She had arrived early.
John turned stiff in her hold, straightening to his full height as he suddenly loomed over her. âIâve got you in my arms for the first time and you want to stay here?â His voice was tight. His face stern.
âYes - no, I -â she was unsure of where she went wrong or how to fix it. She clasped his hands in hers but he didnât allow her to thread their fingers together so it was just her holding on. âI just meant weâve got time, John.â
The way he was looking at her made her want to cry. She felt her lower lip quivering.
She felt ashamed, whispering, trying to get him to keep his cool.
âTime? Time?â He laughed loudly. She was mildly aware of Gale breaking away from a group of guys to near them, worried but she was mostly focused on John. The tense lines on his face even as he laughed and the quirked eyebrow even though she found no amusement in their situation. âYou think Iâve got time? You have no idea what itâs like up there.â
She shook her head but didnât try to verbally explain herself. She wasnât sure she could manage a few words before breaking into tears.
âCome on, Bucky,â that was Gale stepping in to save the day. Perhaps the only person who could get John to listen. âWhen have you ever left before dancing with your girl? You gotta show these rookies how itâs properly done right?â
With Gale slapping a hand to Johnâs shoulders, he seemed to snap out of it. Releasing a deep breath and seemingly all the tightness in body with it.
He leaned down again, pressing his forehead against hers. âIâm sorry,â he whispered, clasping a hand around her neck so she wouldnât pull her head back. As their eyes locked she felt a tear fall again and this one wasnât happy. âIâm so fucking sorry, baby. Itâs this place. Itâs fucking with my head.â
And she chose to believe him, nodding her head in understanding and trying not to think about how she wasnât his preferred person to write letters to or the one who could clear his head.
Maybe the Colonel should have allowed a weekend pass for Gale and John.
Lila swallowed the thought, allowing John to pull her to the dance floor as he lost all anger and aggression and became charming and loving all over again.
âEveryone, this is my wife!â He bellowed and everyone cheered in response. âSheâs the most beautiful woman Iâve ever seen and -â he hiccuped and she realized he was drunker than she thought, âand I bet we can out dance any couples here tonight!â
So for the next hour she found herself being twirled around the dance floor by her husband. She almost forgot their prior negative interaction; his love and energy was so infectious. For the slow songs he would hold her close and she would rest her head against his chest, letting it lull her to a relaxing state. He was alive and she was with him. That had to be enough. For the more upbeat songs, he was challenging any couple beside them. Asking those sitting who were better dancers? Who could perform certain dance moves better?
And all throughout, he was like he used to be back home. Loud and happy and the center of attention, keeping everyone entertained. He kept announcing to his boys that his beautiful wife was there and then heâd place a wet kiss on her mouth that had their cheeks (and hers) turning red but all he would do is smile and continue on.
She was finally able to disentangle herself from him when Crosby pulled him in for a conversation. Lila wonders if her state of disheveled hair and panting breaths made him want to aid her in allowing her to sit and grab a refresher.
Once she accepts Crosbyâs hug and cheek kiss, she excuses herself to go grab a drink. John only pulls her back once to steal a kiss before she gets too far.
Her lips might be bruised by the time they leave if he kept it up.
She orders a cup of ice water from the man tending the bar, looking back out at her husband as she waits. Heâd always been tall and strong, but she notices the change in his posture. The bulges in his arms as he twirled her around and lifted her in the air. His eyes were only bright when he forced it. They had lost their shine and she wishes she brought the picture from back home. Where he looks young and full of life and joyful. Even when he smiles he seems hollow; hopeless.
Sheâs there but he doesnât really care because in his head heâs already thinking of when she leaves again.
She wasnât used to that. Her John only lived in the moment.
âHe keepinâ you busy?â
Gale settles up behind her and pushes the glass water towards her. She didnât even notice when it was put down.
âDizzy, more like,â she jokes and gets him to crack a smile. She thinks to when she walked in and seen Gale, how heâd been watching the scene unfold but with a disapproving look in his eyes. How he didnât try to hide the scene from her or excuse it. He let it be. And she knows John has never shied away from attention. Heâs always been handsome and charming and girls always swarmed but Lila wasnât aware she had to be around to keep him loyal. She thought he just was. And she knows itâs not too long before they leave now so she decides to be direct with him. âSo, does that happen often?â
She sees Galeâs expression split for a second, like he debates playing dumb before deciding against it and she respects him even more for it.
âI think you should talk to John about it.â He decides on.
âIs it something that needs to be mentioned?â She doesnât like playing this game with him but she knows at the first words of cheating and adultery Gale is going to excuse himself and her chance will be lost.
She canât be simple and ask: Does my husband cheat on me?
âAnother ginger ale, Marty,â Gale raises two fingers to grab the manâs attention and mutters a thanks as his drink is immediately refilled. He turns his attention back to Lila. âHe still loves you, Lila. Itâs just - hard. Being out here.â
âYou seem to be coping fine.â
She feels bitter. Crazy. Thereâs a sob she has to choke back.
Lilaâs too embarrassed to meet Galeâs gaze. Ashamed that everyone knows whatâs been going on and she was the ditzy woman being twirled on the dance floor.
âI think I was used to loneliness. He isnât.â
And he says nothing else as he leaves her behind heading back to his boys. Itâs just Lila and her shattering heart and her husband calling to beckon her back to the dance floor.
Luckily they didnât stay much longer. She walked over to Bucky but he wasnât able to pull her back out for a dance - itâs my song, Lila! - because Jack Kidd was approaching, letting them know it was time to leave them at the train station.
Lila waited in the car while Bucky ran into his quarters to pack his bag. He didnât have many things to take, he would be stuck wearing his uniform anyway. Gale walks him back out to the car and despite the earlier conversation Lila exits the safety of the interior to say her goodbyes.
âTake care of yourself, Major,â she squeezes him, âI need you to stick around after this weekend to look after my man.â
âItâs a hard job but I try,â he replies, both of them ignoring Buckyâs protests.
Besides that, Buckyâs quiet on the ride to the train station. He carries her bag on board but heâs quiet for the duration of the train ride. Lila doesnât disturb him; he might be tired or hungover or both.
And if sheâs honest sheâs scared of him snapping at her like the night before.
Instead she takes the time to take him in. Heâs handsome in his suit. Tall and big and strong, his sharp jaw and powerful mouth, his eyes blue like a sunny day and his curls coming undone from the gel after all the dancing he did.
Lila doesnât allow her mind to wander down this path too often but suddenly she canât help it. Would their baby have looked like him or like her? She wishes more than anything they would have had his ears. She wishes they would have had his heart and his strength - but her loyalty. Her faith in them.
Itâs crazy when she stops to think she was nineteen when she married him and now sheâs twenty-one. Sheâs loved him for more than sheâs been allowed to have him. She has changed without him like he has without her and itâs frightening to think neither of them could be accepting of those changes. Whatever they may be.
Lila shuts those thoughts out, closing the distance between them to sit on his lap. Passerbyâs and his horrible mood and what scares her could be damned to hell - all she wants is her man.
John doesnât deny her; she admits she was a little scared he would.
âI love you,â she tells him, catching his eyes.
âI know.â
He doesnât return the words as they continue staring at one another but she refuses to let it get her down. This is her husband. She has the rest of her life to get to know him; new or old habits, she doesnât care.
So instead, Lila plasters a smile onto her face. âWhatâre you gonna show me first in London, Major?â
âWell I really wanna show you our hotel room,â he plays along, allowing her to trace the edges of his mustache. She lets out a knowing chortle. âAnd I really want to show you -â he cuts himself off to look around, making sure no one was near them as he leans in to whisper, â- my cock, Mrs. Egan.â
She turns a bright red, trying to sputter out a proper response for that but all she can do is indignantly scold him. âJohn Clarence! If your mom were here -â and they both break out in loud laughter at the many possibilities of what his mother would exactly do to him if she heard his wicked mouth.
âWanna grab some grub first?â He asks instead, knowing she hadnât eaten at the officers club and before then she had been stuck on a plane. âI know a few places.â
Lila nods happily, pressing a kiss to his mouth. His lips are warm and as plump as she remembers them. His mustache tickles her.
âLet me feed you first, woman!â He groans, trying to be a gentleman. âWhenâs the last time you ate?â
She puckers her lips to think about it and thatâs the only answer he needs: food is definitely first.
When they arrive at the hotel John enters to check them in but he slips a few bills into the bell boyâs hand with strict instructions to leave the bags in their room before pulling her back out to the London streets.
Lila felt underdressed surrounded by women in diamonds and fancy hats, and it didnât help that John was beside her in his uniform looking dapper and catching the eye of many. They were stopped multiple times on the way to the diner; men wanting to shake his hand and show their gratitude while the women introduced themselves, uncaring of Lila under his right arm.
As long as he wasnât ignoring or dismissing her she realized she didnât really care. It wasnât much different back home; everyone knew and loved John Egan.
The diner he chose was small and cozy and his legs were too long to fit under their table so his boot and his knee kept bumping into her own and she adored it. She wanted to feel close to him and since sitting on his lap currently wasnât an option she figured this would have to do.
He tells her many stories but none of them are sad or tragic. He only shares the happy ones. He talks about how he convinced the Colonel to allow Buck, Curt, and himself a London weekend pass one time and they had shoved Gale into a haberdashery where he tried on a multitude of top hats worth more money any of them would ever see combined. But because they were soldiers and majors at that, the owner allowed it. Thereâs a museum nearby he talks about wanting to take her too, it showcases art from as early as the 1400s and he says heâs gotten lost in there plenty of times and it was lovely.
All the while, she listens without hearing him. Choosing to take him in and letting her mind wander to how it would be if things were different. It pains her to think how much older he looks since she last saw him. Looking more like it was ten years instead of the measly two. Johnâs always been one to smile freely but the wrinkles by his mouth, eyes, and forehead arenât from smiling or laughing too much.
Lila knows theyâre from worrying and stressing and being scared and she hates that she canât understand him or be there for him. No matter how hard he tries.
âIâm sorry,â she apologizes when a sob breaks free. She curls in over the table and Johnâs reaching over to rub her shoulders. She grabs a hold of her hand in his. âI just missed you so much.â She presses a kiss to his knuckles. âI donât think I know how to not miss you.â
John doesnât say anything but he motions a server over to settle the bill and once thatâs done, heâs taking her hand and pulling her out the chair.
âYou got enough food in you?â
All she can do is nod.
Her body feels electric on the short walk back to the hotel. He doesnât do more than hold her hand and she thinks that is what has her nerves jittery, his palm in her hand sets her alight. She can feel his rough skin and the calluses on his fingers and the fingertips he runs over her skin and she bites back a moan.
Moaning in the middle of a bustling London street? Sheâd be thrown into an asylum sheâs sure.
Beside her heâs quiet but his steps are quick. She has to lightly jog to keep up with long strides. He pulls on her hand to help her keep pace. It makes her think heâs as impatient for it as she is so she was surprised when upon closing the hotel room behind him he stays by the door. Not nearing or touching or kissing.
Just - nothing.
Her throat becomes tight again as she remembers the girl from the night before and her conversation with Gale. Is that the reason why?
âYouâre so fucking gorgeous,â he says before she can spiral any further. Approaching her and bringing their lips together in a searing kiss, wasting no time in sliding his tongue alongside hers.
âI love you,â she responds and once again he doesnât say it back. She figured he wouldnât but she wanted to try. He takes her mouth in his again.
She gets irrationally angry, suddenly feeling the need to claim him so she bites at his bottom lip. He pulls back to press a finger to his lip, wiping the blood there.
Lila pulls on his belt, dropping to her knees right there in the middle of the room.
Mine. Heâs mine.
âMake me your wife again,â sheâs not sure but it sounds like sheâs begging as she manages to unbuckle his belt and pull them around his strong thighs.
âGod,â he breathed, âfuck. Look at you.â
Swollen lips parted for him to put to use. John wrapped his fist around her long hair to maintain a good grip, allowing the tip of his cock to hit the back of her throat. There was no resistance, no gag, her body remembering how it was taught to take all of him even though time had passed. John loved that fucking mouth and he found himself angry as thoughts entered his mind - if anyone had fucked her mouth while heâd been away - and he jerks his hips more forcefully. Rough.
This time Lila does gag. Her hand goes to push against his hip but he doesnât allow her to pull away.
âDid anyone else do this?â
She splutters, eyes on him and confused with a mouthful of cock, unable to talk.
âDid you suck someone elseâs cock? This is mine, Lila. Mine.â
He holds her down for a couple of more seconds before allowing her reprieve. She sputters and coughs, looking at him the entire time.
His dick is still hard and long, standing to attention, and heâs not sure whether he should apologize before sheâs taking his bobbing dick back into her mouth. To the back of her throat and gulping and fondling his balls. Her nose kissing the coarse hairs on his belly trail and although it feels fucking amazing - he can feel the anger too. Her anger.
How dare he accuse her.
When she pulls off thereâs a strand of saliva connecting his prick to her tongue. She has half a mind to go back for more but heâs pulling her back by her hair.
âIâm so lucky to have a wife whoâs cock hungry,â he groans, pulling her to her feet by her hair and connecting their mouths in a rough kiss. Their teeths crash and tongues wrestly and he feels fucking crazy that she tastes like him. Simultaneously ripping each otherâs clothes off.
Lila didnât have any warning. One second she was kissing him and ripping open his shirt and the next she was bent over the bed with her ass in the air. John ran a finger over the wet patch on her underwear. The bite on her cheek was also unexpected and she clawed at the sheets, sure she could come from the feeling alone.
âThis is mine, Lila,â he leaned in close, burying his face in her underwear. âMine.â
All she could do was whimper and agree.
John smacked her ass so hard it jiggled. Lila yelled and after the pain ceded, time seemed to stop. Nothing but their rough breathing filling the room. John had never done that before.
She wasnât sobbing but there were tears escaping. She was sure he didnât know. He was waiting for a reaction.
Lila wasnât sure where this side of her husband came from. Had he held back those two months? Did he learn it in Europe? Was that why there was another woman - because she couldnât satisfy him?
She canât lose him.
âPlease,â she begs, hiding tears in the duvet, âdo it again.â
Lies. It was all lies but John believes her and he strikes again. She yelps, fisiting the sheets. He believes itâs in pleasure.
Ten slaps. Thatâs how many she endures before he begins shushing and petting her again. He runs his fingers through her folds and although she didnât enjoy the punishment mentally - she did nothing wrong, he was the liar - her body certainly did. Sheâs sopping wet, sheâs gonna have to throw out her underwear because theyâre destroyed.
âDid you enjoy that?â He grabs a fistful of her hair to sit her up, her back against his sweaty, matter chest. âYou like being spanked, baby?â
âYes.â Itâs only half of a lie.
âNow - now, Iâm going to fuck you. Nice and hard, just how you like it,â she wants to scream at him. She wants to hit him. When did she ever like it hard? When was hard ever nice? Who was he thinking about because it wasnât her.
But at the same time she rocks back against him to feel his cock hard between her cheeks. She canât say she doesnât want it. Him. This.
He pushes her back down at her teasing, using his now free hands to spread her cheeks and show her tight asshole. Untouched and pure. He presses the tip of his cock against it but he doesnât push. He doesnât move.
She jerks at the pressure. Drools on the mattress as she tries to bite down to temper her screams.
Do it.
No, donât.
âOne day,â he promises, pressing deeper so her hole opens but not deep enough to push. âBut today, today I want this.â And without any prepping like sheâs used to, without any more warning, heâs sliding down and pushing into her. Hard. Deep.
She screams, canât help it, claws at the mattress in an attempt to crawl away.
It hurt but it felt so good.
Who was she?
âYou think you can go be with other men? Let them use the holes I trained? The ones that belong to me?â He pumps into her deep. Once, twice. Sheâs so wet the noises filling the room are pornographic, her yelling and his panting and her sopping wet vagina smacking against his thighs and taking his cock so well. âYou like it like this, Lila? Like when I fucking own you?â
âYes, yes,â she swears and this time she isnât lying. Itâs all she can manage; she thinks sheâs gone cock dumb. There are no words, no feelings, just the feeling of him filling her.
She clenches tight when he slides out. She wants him inside her forever.
He releases his hold of her hair, stepping away. Heâs tired of muffling her moans and words. Heâs tired of not being able to see her beautiful face.
Johnâs favorite face in the entire world.
âTurn around,â he commands.
Lila kneels on wobbly legs as she turns over, having little to no energy and bouncing as her body lands with no grace on the mattress. John grabs one of her jiggling breasts in his large hand, squeezing tightly.
âI fucking missed these.â He takes one in his mouth, biting down on her nipple hard. She shrieks but holds his head to pull him closer.
Her thighs are forced open by his hand and then heâs taking hold of himself and thrusting in deep again. Releasing her breasts from his mouth in order to look at her mouth. Lilaâs face when heâs fucking her is as close to heaven as he thinks heâll ever get. Sheâs incoherent but sheâs begging for more - that much he can make out. She manages to gather the strength to grab hold of him and pull him down, clawing at his back.
He hisses at the pain and bites on her collarbone to reciprocate it.
When she grabs the nape of his neck, the cool touch of her wedding ring against his skin, it gives him pause. This was his wife. His wife.
John has been gone so long he thinks he forgot he was married.
âI love you,â he finally says it, pressing his forehead against hers as he slows down. He sniffles then, leaning down to press a wet open-mouthed kiss against hers and swallow her moans. John canât believe he forgot he had this; canât believe he forgot for a minute how lucky he was. Sheâs gorgeous (and not just externally) and heâs quite sure he somehow managed to dream her up. âI love you,â he swears again.
This time sheâs the one who doesnât say it.
She clutches at neck and pulls him down to take a boob in his mouth. Looking him in the eye hurts too damn much. Why did he have to do this now? She was lost in the pain; she had been taking her punishment.
Lila squeezed her eyes shut, moaning loudly as she thrashed around the bed. Her orgasm taking over her body. She wrapped both legs tighter around John, squeezing and pulsing around him and dragging him to the edge with her.
âFuck, fuck,â he roared, âso damn tight. Yes, Lila. My perfect wife.â
For a couple of seconds, they lay in the aftermath. Lila could feel the heat of Johnâs breath against her neck. She counted how many breaths they shared in between one another as they recuperated.
Forty-seven thatâs how many breaths they shared as they stayed connected.
Forty-eight thatâs when John managed to lift his head and place a peck against her mouth. One she didnât return.
Forty-nine thatâs when John pulled back in concern. Lila was so still.
Fifty. Thatâs the breath she used to say, âyou cheated on me,â looking him right in the eyes as she broke out in uncontrollable sobs.
She cried and cried underneath him. Unable to move because her legs felt like jello and they held no power. Unable to push him off because she didnât want to let him go. Unable to speak because she was suffocating in her heartbreak.
John watched her until he couldnât, until he was afraid she was going to choke on her own tears and then he was sitting her up, trying to ignore the way she fought against his touch.
Iâm sorry, Iâm here, he kept saying.
I hate you, she thought but didnât say.
Until finally, âdonât touch me!â She yelled when he got too close and made to wrap her up in a hug. âGet away from me, John. Stay away.â She crawled to the edge of the bed and curled herself into a tiny ball. Aware she was fully naked and he was still leaking out of her but she couldnât find it in herself to do anything except cry.
She couldnât breathe. She couldnât open her lungs and get any air in. She slapped at the headboard, aware that she was having a panic attack as suddenly everything hit her all at once. It was entirely consuming and she couldnât do anything to fight against it except cry. All the feelings rushed her at once.
This was going to be it. The weekend of two lovers reunited was the weekend from hell and this was going to be it. She was going to return home in a day and he would stay in Europe and continue to fight the war and seek out other girls and when he returned she wouldnât be his wife anymore.
Lila would be scornful and full of resentment and miserable and he would leave her. This last time was going to be all she had and she hated him for ruining it.
Why couldnât he hide his affairs better?
Why did she have to surprise him?
She was perfectly happy not knowing. She was worried and stressed to hell and crying every night missing him but, oh God, all that was better than this.
Lila isnât sure how long itâs been since she last took a breath but she feels herself fading. Sheâs shivering and naked in their bed and she can only slightly take in that Johnâs wrapping her up in the duvet and curling himself around her to warm her up. Sheâs trying to tell him she canât breathe, sheâs suffocating, at the same time heâs blowing air in her face.
Sheâs fading when she feels it. A sting on the left side of her face. Hard and sharp and enough to have her gasping for a deep breath.
âBaby, please, wake up,â heâs crying over her, his head on her chest, âwake up. Iâm sorry. Iâm sorry.â
Her chest aches. She coughs.
He whips his head up so fast she almost laughs. Almost.
âLila,â he holds her against his chest, rocking them back and forth on the bed as she takes in her surroundings. She isnât sure how long she was out or how long she was panicking for. Had the sun been setting while she lost her shit? It was dark outside now. âDonât leave me, you canât leave me. Please.â
She taps at his arms to get him to release. She doesnât think she can talk.
John allows her the space but he doesnât remove himself from the bed. He stays kneeling, watching her. His hands keep twitching like he wants to reach out and touch her but heâs trying to respect her wishes of not being touched.
She doesnât lay back down, she stays resting against the headboard. Breathing hurts. Sheâs scared of suffocating once more. Her left cheek begins burning and she wishes she had the strength to go look in the mirror. Did he mark her? She hopes he did.
Lilaâs glad he made it hurt.
âYou need to go,â she finally manages to say, ignoring the way heâs already shaking his head in defiance. âLeave me here, John. I want you to go. Get another room.â Find another woman. âI leave in a day.â She wishes she never came to stupid London. She wishes she could forget this entire trip.
âLila itâs the war,â he starts, shaking in his own tears. âItâs all the shit I see, baby. None of it was because of you okay? None. You donât fucking know what itâs like up there for us but I stay alive in hopes of coming home to you.â He promises.
She shakes her head, fighting back any more tears. How the hell could she still have any tears left?
âBut Gale didnât cheat,â it bursts out of her before she can stop it and she knows itâs the wrong thing to say entirely.
John stops his apologies, clearing his throat as he gets up and begins dressing into his suit. She doesnât stop him. She doesnât take back any of what she said. She gets tired of sitting so she lays on her side, staring out the window and noticing London doesnât have many stars. Is that why itâs so horrible here? Because there were no stars to wish upon.
She could hear his boots stomping on the ground as he reached the door. âMaybe you should have married Gale fucking Cleven then.â And the door slams shut behind him.
She wonders if heâs angry enough to find a girl and sleep with her. Her eyes blur. The time on the clock is six p.m and Londonâs already dark. She realizes she hasnât slept since her plane ride. About 19 hours awake - her and John.
Lila allows her eyes to close, hoping when she wakes everything will be better.
Shadows over her eyelids wake her up. Lila finds she hasnât moved. Sheâs in the same position facing the window. Facing London, only now bombs are dropping over it. The prettiest colors burst forward in the window but she knows it's truly only tragedy and loss. Murder.
She recognizes John sitting in the arm chair and she wonders when he got back. He isnât facing her, heâs watching bomb after bomb drop and land no more than mere miles away from them. Heâs holding a whiskey on ice, twirling the ice so it hits against the glass.
Lila wonders then if it was the shadows or the noise that woke her up.
âI must have punched in my card a long time ago,â his voice is strong in the dead of the night, seemingly even louder than when heâs singing in the pub. âIt must be the reason for all of this. Karma.â He scoffs.
I deserve this, is what heâs trying to say.
Lila feels her stomach twist and spin and thereâs bile sitting in her throat. She closes her eyes to stop herself from imagining John in a plane, dropping a bomb that lands on children. She closes her eyes so she doesnât have to see the hurt sitting on his shoulders.
She remembers how angry she was when he first signed up. Before they were married. They had been dating for over a month, barely, and she already scribbled âMrs. Eganâ over her notebooks. Sheâd heard it from his younger sister, Eileen, and she felt her world stop. She hadnât hesitated to run to the stables he worked at and confront him in front of all the men.
âYouâre leaving me,â she had accused him. âYouâre gonna leave! Iâll never forgive you, John Egan.â
And in front of everyone heâd knelt down and produced a ring, the one his father had given his mother and said, âMarry me.â He didnât ask because they both knew it wasnât a question.
She was already his.
And he was hers.
Lila had forgiven him and promised to love, honor, and obey for the rest of her life.
She doesnât have the strength to stand so even though her throat burns she speaks. âLay with me,â she croaks. Her voice is raspy and broken and even clearing it aches.
John shakes his head. âYou donât want me to.â
âLay with me,â she repeats, firm. âI just want to fall asleep with you.â
He looks at her like he's scared to believe. Trying to figure out whether sheâs simply being cruel and going to kick him out in her next breath. Or more likely, heâs scared sheâll lose her shit being near him again.
John, hopeful and never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, sets his drink down and nears the bed. Lila keeps her eyes locked on his and he does the same. Their moves and tension resemble a game of chicken, one of them afraid any sudden change can have the other running off.
âTake off your uniform,â she says when he pushes back the covers while still fully dressed. He jerks his head in confusion and she bites her lip to contain a laugh at his dirty mind. Sex is the last thing on her mind. âI want to feel you, thatâs all.â
John does as she asks, setting his cap down and shredding every layer before heâs naked and gorgeous and sliding in beside her. She doesnât allow herself to think about what it means when she immediately slides closer.
Lilaâs the one to wrap her arms around him.
Lilaâs the one to intertwine their legs.
John follows her lead, lifting an arm so she can raise her head and use it as a pillow. She scoots her face closer and she nuzzles into her armpit, smelling his deodorant and feeling his hairs poke at her nose. She moves further along, escaping the cocoon of his armpit to press her cheek against his chest. She clutches his dog tags in her palm, tight, so he canât get up in the middle of the night.
âCan we fall asleep together?â She asks, but when she looks up Johnâs already there.
The next time Lila wakes up her palm aches. She releases what sheâs gripping, remembering how she clung to Johnâs dog tags when he slid into bed beside her. She lifts her head and finds John already looking at her.
Heâs got the saddest eyes sheâs ever seen and she hates that sheâs partly why.
âWe should talk,â her voice is low and cracks from not being used. John nods his head but makes no move to begin.
Lila lays her head back on his chest, lightly picking at his matted, curly chest hair. She presses her lips to a freckle near his nipple and his intake of breath lets her know he felt it,
âIâm not the one you write the most letters too,â she starts, finding it easier to not have to look him in the eye. âYou write the most to your mom. And Iâm not the one who can calm you down when your anger gets the best of you,â sheâs so tired of crying, âthatâs Gale. âAnd I canât even be here for you at the end of a mission to console you or kiss you or help you forget,â she chokes on a sob. âThatâs whoever else.â
I couldnât even keep our baby healthy, she leaves out.
âWhatâs your point with all this, Lila?â
Lila lifts her head from his chest, âMy point is Iâm a horrible wife. I - I donât know if it was too soon or just not thought out but this - I- â she canât get the rest of the words out.
âDonât say that,â John sits up against the headboard, forcing her up as well. He grabs both her wrists in one of his hands to pull her closer and grab her attention. âDonât fucking tell me that, Lila.â
âI donât make you happy,â she shakes her head.
âYou do. Everything I do, everything Iâm doing - itâs for you Lila.â
âI donât want to marry Gale. Or someone like him. I love you. Only you. But Iâm scared that I donât make you happy. You deserve better.â
âOh you dumbass,â John coos, suddenly finding the entire situation amusing. He pulls her in for a hug. âYouâre my entire fucking heart, Lila Egan. You donât think you make me happy? Youâre the only thing in my life, in my head, that makes me happy.â
She pulls away to hold his face. âIf youâre gonna leave me John you need to tell me now. I donât care about the girls if all they are is to pass the time. And I donât care that you write to your mom more than me and I donât care that Gale is the one you listen to but I just need to be the one you love the most. I need to know Iâm making you happy.â
His heart aches at the fact that he made her feel she was ever anything less than the most important person in his life. âLila,â he presses a kiss to her lips, âRose,â another kiss, âEgan,â another. âAre my only reason for staying alive.â

nerd!hyunjin x cheerleader!reader, secret relationship, heavy make out, suggestive at the end; 1.8k words
authorâs note: alrighty so it may not be my best work, but i love love love the idea and i hope youâll at least like it a little bit lol anyway enjoy and remember that feedback and reblogs are highly appreciatedđ«¶đœ
06:47 PMÂ
you: meet me in the locker room after the match
you: donât be late~Â
hyunjinâs phone buzzed as he sat uncomfortably between other students in the stands, praying that the match wouldn't take too long. it was hot and crowded and hyunjin was wondering how people could go to matches every week or so and actually enjoy it. he didnât want to be there, wishing to disappear or teleport to his room, but he knew he had to endure in order to see you. he missed you - not that he hadnât seen you the same day in the hallway, but what good is it for him to see you if he couldn't even talk to you?Â
the loud sound of the whistle snapped him out of his reverie. the other students started cheering loudly, whistling and shouting when the match started and hyunjin didnât know what to do - was he supposed to cheer as well? or maybe boo the opposing team? he was completely lost. in this whole confusion, hyunjin tried to find you on the pitch. he noticed a few other cheerleaders before the match, but there was no trace of you. what if you werenât even performing that day and he was sitting there for nothing?Â
the cheerleaders started their chant as the first point was scored and it was only then when hyunjin stood up and finally noticed you. you looked ethereal - your hair bounced with every movement and the cheerleader outfit you were wearing made his head spin. he sighed dreamily - you were absolutely beautiful and he couldnât get over how it was him who could kiss you and hold your hand and call you his. well, not entirely.
it was hyunjinâs idea to keep your relationship a secret. as he watched you in the hallway, always surrounded by handsome jocks and plenty of your cheerleader friends, he felt small, almost nonexistent. was he even worth being near you? he felt sick at the mere thought of people seeing you together and he didnât want to embarrass you in front of your friends. did he feel good about the whole secret relationship thing though? absolutely not, but you assured him plenty of times that youâre willing to wait as long as he needed to finally reveal yourselves. he trusted you, so he just let himself enjoy the moment.Â
hyunjin adjusted his glasses as another point was scored. he was bouncing his leg nervously, waiting impatiently for the referee to announce the end of the match. it was getting late and hyunjin wasnât satisfied with only looking at you from a distance - he needed to be closer.Â
ââ àŁȘË àŁȘ âč àŁȘ Ë ââ
you breathed a sigh of relief when the match was over, smiling at the team and congratulating them.Â
âgreat job, boys,â you let out, trying to quickly head to the locker room. however, one of the players had a different plan and wrapped his arm around your waist. you stopped in your tracks, freezing uncomfortably.Â
âiâm hosting a party tonight, wanna come?â he asked, his lips too close to your ear for your liking. you smiled faintly, trying to break free from his grip.Â
âiâd love to, but i canât tonight, sorry,â you said in an apologetic tone, but he didnât seem to buy your lame excuse. he removed his hand anyway and ran to the rest of his team, leaving you alone without a word. the rest of your cheerleader team went with the boys as well, laughing at their jokes and drooling over their athletic bodies. you scoffed, but paid no further attention to it as you sprinted to the locker room to get there on time.Â
the room was dark when you entered it, a shiver going down your spine as you closed the door behind you. you hoped hyunjin didnât forget or worse - didnât change his mind.Â
from the very beginning you were completely infatuated by hyunjin, his talent for drawing and loser-like personality. he may have been clumsy and a bit scatterbrained, but it was exactly what made him, well, him. you tried to persuade him to let go and be open about your relationship, but he was adamant on keeping it secret. it made you a little sad, of course, but you accepted his decision regardless. in fact, if you thought about it, you kind of liked hiding in closets and stealing kisses when no one was looking.Â
a sudden tug on the doorknob brought you out of your thoughts. you opened the door and saw breathless hyunjin barely standing. you grabbed his shirt and dragged him inside, smiling sheepishly.Â
âwhat took you so long?â you whispered loudly, locking the door and scanning his figure. he raised his finger, taking a moment to regulate his breathing.Â
âi tried to avoid the crowd and, um⊠got lost,â hyunjin mumbled with rosy cheeks, nervously scratching the back of his neck. you giggled, taking a step in his direction and adjusting the crooked glasses on his nose. he brought his arms to your hips - a habit you taught him. he was staring at you with wide eyes and suddenly the air in the room thickened.Â
âwhy are you looking at me like that?âÂ
âyou looked really pretty today. i kinda wanted to paint you,â he whispered with rosy cheeks, his gaze wandering back and forth between your eyes and your lips. you smiled at his words, feeling as your face got warmer. you were sure he was so gonna paint you after today.
âgo on,â you said, your voice barely above the whisper. âi know you wanna kiss me.â hyunjin blinked a few times, his brain going haywire. although he had kissed you plenty of times before, usually it was you who initiated it, not him.
he leaned a bit closer, his breath speeding up as you placed your hand on his cheek. he hesitated when he felt your hot breath on his face, but one look from you dispelled his worries and he placed a sloppy kiss on your lips. his moves were uncoordinated, almost random, and you quickly started to get impatient, but decided to let him take control for now. he has to learn, you thought to yourself.
your hands wandered all over his chest and face as he slowly but gradually deepened the kiss, making your head spin a little. his grip on your hips tightened and you were going feral.Â
âhyune,â you breathed out, pointing to the shelf standing against the wall. even in his state he managed to drag you there and awkwardly helped you to sit on it. you brought your hand to his hair, tugging at it slightly and earning a quiet groan from him.Â
âshit,â hyunjin muttered as his glasses tilted on his nose again. he tried to fix them, but you grabbed his hand, bringing it to your neck instead.Â
âleave them be,â you said, parting your legs so hyunjin could stand closer to you. he yelped as you dragged him between them, the feeling of your thighs trapping him made his brain malfunction.Â
after what felt like eternity you broke the kiss to catch your breath. hyunjinâs cheeks were as red as a tomato and you laughed at his state. he looked drunk, his tilted glasses only added to the impression.Â
âwhat?â he asked dumbfounded, looking around.Â
ânothing, just-â you reached out to adjust his glasses. âthere. you looked funny.â hyunjin pouted at your words and you smiled. you felt giddy when you looked at him and you never wanted the feeling to go away.Â
âbut you told me to leave them like thatâŠâ you giggled at his reaction, a pleasant warmth spreading in your chest.
the comfortable silence settled between you two as hyunjin intently scanned your face, taking in every detail for the millionth time. your gaze wandered after his, his brown eyes observing your features like a curious child taking in the wonders of the world.Â
âwho was that guy you talked to after the match?â he suddenly blurted out and it took you off guard. your face twisted in confusion as you tried to recall the situation. oh.
âit was one of the teammates. he hosted a party tonight and tried to persuade me to go,â you explained, wrapping your arms around his neck.
âoh,â he let out. âokay. do you⊠do you like him?â
âhyune, are you jealous?â he dropped his head - suddenly your shoes were way more interesting than your face. âhey, look at me,â you ordered him softly but firmly, placing a finger under his chin.Â
âsorry.â
you shook your head. âyou have nothing to apologise for, okay? iâm sorry that it made you jealous.â hyunjin nodded at your words, a sudden wave of guilt overflowing his senses. âif it makes you feel better, he is a complete asshole. and i donât like him,â you laughed and he smiled faintly, straightening his back. ânow, where were we?âÂ
you leaned forward and captured his lips in a passionate kiss, your tongue asking for entrance, which made hyunjinâs knees buck under him. he grabbed your shoulders, but you only ran your hand over his back in a soothing manner. though scared, hyunjin let your tongue in - it was sloppy and uncoordinated, because even if it was you who led the kiss, he still felt like a lost child in the wilderness.Â
ârelax,â you mumbled into his mouth as you sensed his fear. iâm trying, he wanted to say, but he only let out a small whimper, dropping his arms to rest on your hips. with all his might he forced him to cool off. relax, hyunjin, he repeated in his head over and over again and he didnât even notice when his tongue started to move with yours in unison.Â
âi missed you,â you suddenly uttered, breaking the kiss. hyunjin looked at you with wide eyes.Â
âreally?â he asked and you giggled.Â
âof course, dummy. why are you surprised?â you tilted your head. âarenât my kisses enough proof?â you teased, placing your hands on his chest. his heart was pounding, all because of you.
hyunjin shrugged his shoulders, his breathing speeding up. âno! no, itâs not that, i just⊠i dunno, iâm- iâm scared that this-â he moved his hand between your bodies. â-is just a dream. and i donât wanna wake up.â oh. you looked him straight in the eyes.
âyou know iâm serious when i say i like you, right?â you asked hesitantly, taking his hand in yours. it was sweaty from all the tension. you rubbed his palm with your thumb to calm him down.Â
hyunjin looked at you with a puzzled expression. ây-yeah, i know,â he said with a shaky voice. you placed a feather-like kiss to his cheek, then another one, going down to his jaw and neck, peppering him with soft pecks - a sealing of your words. he melted under your touch, his eyes wide open as he stared into the wall behind you, unable to move. âhey, you know what? iâm kinda hungry,â you said suddenly, bringing hyunjin back to you. he let out a small hm? and you spoke again with a smirk plastered on your face. âwanna eat some ramen with me?â
