okay but can you imagine-
nightwing, tearing through Gotham, looking for any signs of trouble because hes visiting his family and decided to help out a bit. and suddenly a blur shoot past him and he curses and lands on a nearby roof, sprinting at full speed. all he gets back is distorted laughter, more terrifying than any noise joker can ever make because thats his dad. laughing. at him. and dick screams in frustration and tries to run faster but he cant and the Gothamites are looking at him like hes crazy, hightailing it across the roof after someone they cant see, and then the blur disappears and dick comes to a stop, panting, and batman is waiting on a nearby gargoyle, not having broken a sweat, casually chomping on a burger as if to say, 'what took you so long' and holds out a water bottle silently and dick snatches it, chugs it, then pelts it at his fathers head but bruce is long gone.
nothing has ever enraged him more
in my head bruce is faster than the kids and it pisses them off so much. they're in their prime and this 40 y/o guy who sleeps like two hours a night and puts protein shakes in his coffee and calls that breakfast can outrun them
#batfam#batman#it would be such a sore spot for all the kids#and bruce rubs it in#because they outshine him in everything else#so for this hes like#'you guys want a seven minute head start? maybe a year?'#'maybe yall ought to stretch before hand'#'woah! dont hurt yourself walking up the stairs man! youre going faster than usual'#'hey slow down! this is a school zone!'#jason literally just walking#bruce wayne#he loves fucking with his kids#ahhhh i love them

Jealous triple s, and how they deal with it, would they be insecure? Would they be unbothered?
take your time!
Jealous Sonic, Shadow, and Silver x Reader
Sonic:
Sonicâs confidence is one of his most defining traits, but when he gets jealous, that cool, carefree demeanor takes a serious hit. Heâs usually so sure of himself, itâs part of his charm. But when someone else starts vying for your attention? Thatâs when cracks begin to show.
It starts small. Youâre chatting with someone else, and Sonic catches sight of your laugh, the way your eyes light up. He doesnât like how that person leans in a little too close or how their hand lingers just a moment too long. Sonic doesnât want to admit it, but heâs... uncomfortable.
"Hey, Y/N!" Sonicâs voice cuts through the conversation, loud and bright. He zips up to your side, arm slinging around your shoulder in an overly casual gesture. "Whatcha talkinâ about? Anything cool, or is it just boring stuff?"
He flashes his signature grin, it sidnt reach his eyes tho as he just stared at them. The other person gets the hint, offering a polite excuse to leave, and Sonic is immediately all over you.
"Phew! Thought Iâd have to rescue you from that snoozefest." He laughs, but his eyes linger on your face, searching. "Youâre not, like, too close with them, are you?"
If you call him out on his jealousy, heâll deny it, waving it off with a sheepish chuckle. "Jealous? Me? Nah, Iâm way too cool for that." Before speeding away to not have to deal with his problems.
Despite his bravado, Sonic canât help but feel a little insecure. What if heâs not enough? Heâs fast, adventurous, and fun, but is that all you see him as? These thoughts are fleeting, though, because Sonic doesnât like to dwell on negativity. Heâs quick to bounce back, reminding himself that no one can match his charm.
When his jealousy peaks, he doubles down on his efforts to impress you. Heâll drag you on adventures, race you to the nearest horizon, and show off every trick in his arsenal. Sonic wants to be the one who keeps you smiling, even if it means pushing himself a little harder to outshine everyone else.
Shadow:
Shadowâs jealousy is a bit more on the intense side. Heâs not one to wear his emotions on his sleeve, far from it, but he lets himself relax more around you, he valies you for that.
He notices everything, the way someoneâs eyes linger on you, the subtle changes in their tone, and how easily they make you laugh. Shadow doesnât say anything at first, but his silence speaks volumes. His eyes narrow, his body language stiffens, and the air around him grows thick with tension.
"Do you enjoy their company?" he asks you one evening, his tone calm but icy. Itâs not an accusation, but the question seemed like a trap.
If you assure him that youâre just being polite or that itâs nothing serious, Shadow nods, but the thought lingers in his mind. He doesnât understand why it bothers him so much, why the thought of others spending more time with you makes him ache.
Shadow isnât one to act out of insecurity, but jealousy brings out a possessive streak he canât quite control. Heâs not above making his presence known, standing just a little too close to you when someone else is around or fixing them with a withering glare that sends them running.
"0You donât need them," he tells you firmly, his voice low. "You have me."
Shadowâs jealousy stems from his fear of losing the one person who makes him feel "human",(mobian? Idfk anymore man :(.) grounded. He doesnât want to admit it, but he worries that someone else might give you something he canât. After all, heâs not the most expressive or affectionate person, and sometimes he wonders if thatâs enough for you.
If you reassure him, Shadow relaxes, his usually stone cold exterior softening. "I donât want to lose you," he admits quietly, almost ashamed of his own weakness.
While Shadow tries to keep his jealousy in check, it occasionally slips out in subtle ways.
Silver:
Silver is naturally anxious, and jealousy only amplifies that side of him. Heâs not used to navigating these kinds of emotions, so when he sees someone else getting a little too friendly with you, he doesnât know how to handle it.
At first, Silver tries to ignore it, convincing himself that heâs overreacting. "Theyâre just being nice," he tells himself, but the knot in his stomach says otherwise. He starts overthinking everything, what if theyâre better for you? What if you realize heâs not enough?
You notice how quiet he gets, his usual bright demeanor overshadowed by uncertainty. When you ask him whatâs wrong, he hesitates before blurting out, "Do you like them more than me?"
Silver immediately regrets his words, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Sorry, I didnât mean to-! I just... I donât want to lose you."
His honesty is endearing, even if his jealousy is a little misplaced. Silver doesnât want to control you or keep you from talking to others, but he canât help feeling like he has to prove himself.
If his jealousy gets the better of him, Silver might become a bit clingy, always wanting to be by your side. "Can I stay with you for a bit?" he asks, his voice soft and hopeful.
Silverâs jealousy isnât rooted in possessiveness but in his fear of not being good enough. He looks up to you, admires you, and sometimes he wonders what you see in him. But your reassurance means the world to him.
"Youâre the best thing thatâs ever happened to me," Silver says one day. "I just want to make sure Iâm the best for you, too."

ARE YOU COMING HOME?
pairing: billie eilish x reader
synopsis: she gets a lovely surprise while on tour
warnings: nothing but FLUFF i love fluff, not proofread
wordcount: 0.9k
a/n: very late merry christmas and happy new year!! not my best work but please enjoy! anyways i need to be picked up and spun around plsplspls
long distance relationships are never easy, especially when your girlfriend is one of the most famous singers in the world. she's on tour right now, overseas and so, so far away from you and your empty arms.
or so she thinks.
billie's voice is a little tinny through the phone, crackles from foil heard as she unpacks the snacks she'd bought after her show. you watch in contentment, hugging a pillow to your chest with a leg exaggeratedly thrown over it, arm starting to go numb from holding the device up.
"i bought your favorite sweets too," she says, cutting the silence. "missing you so much, i really wish you could be here to steal from me." she ends her statement with a pout. oh, how you wish you could kiss that pout off of her lips. but soon. all you need right now is patience.
"so your friends- you guys went to a hotel just to watch a movie?" billie asks, a little confused. it was the best excuse you could think of out of nowhere.
"yup," you reply, popping the p. "they're not around right now, though. out shopping. i'm too broke and lazy to go out."
"i told you you could use my card, though."
"i'm not using your card, billie."
"you could if you wanted."
"no."
she frowns, as if she were the one losing something. billie did that a lot: shower you with expensive gifts and treats and dates and refuses to accept anything back. the fact only makes you happier about your plan, knowing she'd ask about the cost but it wouldn't really matter anyway because both of you were benefitting.
"when are you coming home?" a trick question. "i miss you so so bad. and i miss staying home with shark and just cuddling together. our bed is so cold without you."
"oh?" billie grins, eyebrow raising. before she could comment anything inappropriate, the doorbell rings on her end of the line. "ah, that must be room service. i ordered dinner. be back in a minute, love."
you grin to yourself now as she turns away to answer the door, knowing that there was a very big chance that it was, in fact, not room service. your ears prick up at the hint of a gasp, muffled voices exchanging polite conversation, and billie returns in frame holding a huge bouquet of flowers, an even huger smile on her face.
she was practically glowing, outshining the sweat and slight tiredness formerly seen on her face from her performance. "you're kidding me."
"what?!" you ask, laughing. your heart swells with pride.
"you didn't seriously get me this from, what, on the other side of the world?" your girlfriend asks incredulously, admiring the little pink and white petals you'd picked out and reading the note that said nothing but 'i'm proud of you'.
you push yourself up off the bed, casually pulling on a pair of socks before slipping on your shoes, making sure to not let it be seen on camera. "i had to call in a couple of favors from your manager, of course. i'm sorry it's not in my handwriting."
and it wasn't, because you knew that billie would recognize your strokes immediately, and that would blow everything else off.
you make your way to the main hotel door, making sure your face covered the background so that the girl on your phone didn't see its similarities to her own room. "hold on, baby, i'll call you back."
the singer's dark brows furrow at your abrupt dismissal. "okay. don't take too long."
"love you."
she didn't get to reply before you click on the red button and dash to the elevator, pressing her floor in the same hotel (though she didn't know it yet), having memorized the number by heart when she told you yesterday.
you get there, just in time for the room service server to roll his cart of to her door. pushing your nerves aside, you walk right up to him and excuse the interruption. "hi, sorry. my girlfriend is in this room and i was hoping to surprise her, would you mind if i borrowed your hat?"
he agrees, barely hiding a smile. thanking him, you took a deep breath to compose yourself, jamming the hat onto your head. your hand lingers over the bell, glancing nervously at the server, who in turn nods encouragingly at you.
ding.
footsteps can be heard from inside, and you count to five before the door swings open and you drop your head to hide your face, resorting to deepening your voice. "hello ma'am, room service-"
"y/n?" she gasps in recognition, incredulous. billie's hand is frozen on the doorknob, staring in disbelief.
finally, you raise your head and hand the server his hat back, your smile having difficulty in concealing a laugh. "surprise?"
you're unable to do anything more when billie snatches you up by the waist, raises you, and spins you around dramatically, her own lips wide in a grin. the sudden movement messes up your hair, getting it over your shoulder and behind and swept towards the opposite side but she didn't care. your girlfriend pulls you in close in a tight hug, one arm around your waist and the other resting upon your spine.
her happiness can still be felt blind.
she wouldn't let go, not for a second to get inside, not to formally accept the room service food, so you thank the server over her shoulder.
he leaves you and billie to your moment a little awkwardly.
"you didn't tell me you were here!" she whines into your hair.
you laugh. "that's the point of a surprise, bils."
"i can't believe you actually flew here. you hung up on me. i love you so so so much, you know that?"
"yes, i know." another soft smile graces your face. "i love you so so so much too."

Yandere pretty boy
inspired by Dorian Gray
TW: typical yandere stuff, pretty boy, Dorian likes being mean
Please keep in mind that English is not my native language thank you đ
P.1/? let me know if you want more
He was utterly beautiful, the kind that takes your breath away and makes you hate yourself. The kind that you envy and would kill to be like. The kind that everyone loves but nobody likes. The kind of man that is obsessed with himself.
Dorian was perfect he would describe himself as nothing less than that.
His blond hair framed the delicate features of his face and made his hazel eyes shine like the sun. His toned body was described by his admirers as breathtaking. And his deep voice sounded like that of an angel or an prince.
He was the most popular guy in school and had a group of fans in almost every class. When he was a junior seniors asked him out and now that heâs one himself he rejected everyone who ever asked him out. Everybody hoped to be his first.
Since even if he seemed like a player his standards were too high to be one. He saved himself up to find the perfect match for himself that would rival his beauty.
But now that his senior year was halfway finished he wondered if the right person would ever came. His father would always encourage him to keep on looking for the one, like his father did with his mother.
And thats when you came into the picture. You didnât have high expectations for your new school, you just wanted to find friends and get decent grades. And everything went surprisingly well until you got asked out by the most magnificent man you had ever seen. You knew Dorian since you shared a few classes with him where he did nothing but stare at his phone (and you).
So you quickly went from the new student to the partner of the most popular guy in school. Many wondered what was so different about you when Dorian rejected everyone else. But Dorian knew, in his eyes you were as beautiful as him, and after he got to know you better after a few dates he finally realized what people meant with âwhatâs on the inside mattersâ.
You were more beautiful than him, of course not on the outside because letâs be honest nobody is. But your character was better than his, you are nice, empathetic, friendly and every other positive trait he could think of. And he wanted to reward you.
So he talked with his father and decided to take you to your new home.
You didnât expect much when he invited you to his house, especially not the biggest mansion you have ever seen. But it wasnât the outside that caught you off guard, it was what was inside.
Before every window was a thick curtain so that no sunlight was visible inside.
On every wall where either pictures of Dorian and a beautiful woman or mirrors. They were big and small, and you felt like they were following your every step. Dorians room was no different being filled with mirrors and a giant portrait above his bed. The picture of Dorian Gray.
You like it, my angel? He asked seeing you staring at his portrait, while hugging you from behind.
It was made on my 18th birthday to capture my beauty forever.
You looked in awe at the sheer beauty infront of you. So you were surprised when Dorian pulled you out of his room and you went to a separate one.
It had no windows and the only thing in it was a portrait of a family. You felt hypnotized by the sight. The woman in the picture even outshined Dorians beauty
Thats my mother.
The toddler which you made out as Dorian had a lot more cuteness to him than Dorian had now with his more often stern expressions. Just the man stood out like a sore thumb with his just average appearance.
You look just like her. He said like in trance.
You were so enamored with the picture that you didnât realize that the servants threw away all your belongings which you brought with you and locked all the doors.
You were captured by the most beautiful man, with the darkest desires.
đThanks a lot for reading, feel free to share. I donât think I ever had more ideas to write in a story đ

Okay that hive mind Riddle this is soo hot. But hear me out, the colony is very important to and in an effort to maintain peace, they rotate who gets to breed you on a schedule. They're 5 of them and that gives you 1-2 days grace period for "me" time. And Riddle is a major hard ass on the schedule.
"No, Ace. You know you have mondays and you should have planned around that."
The schedule is as follows:
Mon- Ace, Tue- Cater, Wed- Deuce, Thurs- Trey, and Fri- Riddle
Because Cater and Trey make a point to clean you up at the beginning and end of their days so that's why
Sorry, Idk why Im soo fixated on how they're set up
These are excellent thoughts aaaaa!!! <3 not only does breeding you on a schedule keep things organized and allows you to slowly but surely adapt to the way the hive works, it also boosts morale for the aliens themselves. Relief sweeps through the rest of the hive seeing their new Queen soft and round with new clutches. Now they wonât have to worry about the dangers of going extinct.
Ace and Deuce, while younger than the other three, are perhaps the easiest to approach. Deuce is friendly and so is Ace (though usually when he wants something from you). For a while, your relationship with Ace is one of transaction. Deuce makes sure youâre always prepared and taken care of before, during, and after breeding. You look forward to the days with him because he treats you so tenderly. He tries to tell you in what limited human speech he can use that thatâs how he was brought up. Itâs important to treat oneâs mate with respect and admiration.
Ace, though childish and seemingly more interested in your body than you, gradually warms up to you. He canât let Deuce outshine him, so he starts making an effort. He sees how much happier it makes you when he sticks around after breeding you, when he gathers snacks for you, when he talks to you, etc and realizes heâs been a terrible mate so far. Now heâs improving himself and his methods have changed. He genuinely wants a connection with you, even if he slyly skirts around that truth when asked.
Trey and Cater are much more mature than Ace and Deuce. They look after you in their own ways, though no one can beat Trey when it comes to that. Heâs a natural caretaker, always putting you before himself, but you think he has ulterior motives for this. Gaining your trust would definitely be one of them. Youâre hesitant to open up to Trey because of this. Cater makes it easier but not by a lot, if only because his constant fawning over you feelsâŚsuperficial sometimes. Even though you realize your appearance in this hive makes you a curiosity for everyone else, it still manages to embarrass you just a little when he smothers you, calling you cute in his native tongue. At the very least, you appreciate how both he and Trey will go out of their ways to ensure your safety on their allotted days.
The dynamic between you and Trey sometimes borders that of a pet. He loves to wash and clean you, and he prepares delicious meals for you. You keep expecting him to put a collar on you next. Cater already has the cute nicknames covered. Thereâs a very clear divide between you and them. You receive the treatment of a beloved pet, but when it comes to breeding youâre used for your intended purpose: to carry their young. Itâll take time for them to view you as a mate they wish to keep forever and not just a convenient hole to keep their young safe and snug.
And Riddle!!! Riddle is probably the most anxious and high-strung around you. Heâs devoted to his schedule, to the rules of the hive, to doing everything in accordance with tradition. Sometimes it feels controlling, but he really only ever has your best interests in mind. Heâs so infatuated with you and adores every little aspect about you! From the way your human toes curl in pleasure to the way your human voice wavers with soft gasps and groans to the way you leak salty liquid from your pretty human eyes when something feels good or hurts. Itâs all so fascinating. He wants to learn more.
When he isnât using his days to breed you, heâs spending that time studying you, courting you, enjoying delicious foods with you in what feels like the equivalent of a human tea party. Though he has a temper and can get frustrated, itâs never directed at you. In fact, heâs overwhelmingly gentle when he handles you and surprisingly respectful. Just,,, please forget and forgive that first day he met you, when heâd been so desperate for a Queen heâd dragged you back to the hive and knocked you up with a clutch. >_< it was all purely for survival!

âž how the cod men act when they're jealous. 141 + ALEJANDRO + RUDY + GRAVES + FRANK X F!READER TAGS | female reader. WC | 1,449
âž JOHN PRICE has always felt very secure in himself, his work, and the relationships with those he cares about - that extends to you tenfold. heâs not one to get into a relationship if he doesnât feel like you wonât or canât be faithful 100%. and thatâs why he never truly gets jealous - because he knows you and he knows you love him and wouldnât try to mess around. if some muppet tries hitting on you at the pub, heâll only get involved because he doesnât want you to feel uncomfortable.
but john isnât completely immune from jealousy. while he never worries about some other bloke sweeping you off your feet, his jealousy comes through when he feels as if someone else is outshining him. john has a tendency to be distant, and even when heâs beginning to feel that distance, work can pull him even further away. so if he sees you getting your laughs or comfort from someone else, it kinda tugs at his heart. makes him wish he was doing it instead.
âž GAZ never truly lets things get under his skin if he doesnât deem them important enough to, and jealousy is one of those things. of course, he likes having all of your attention. but itâs hard to really feel threatened when heâs the one who brought you to the pub, arm over your shoulders, showing you off and giving lots of kisses and doesnât really give a fuck who sees. cheeky as he is, kyle might even revel in the onlookers who start to feel jealous of him.
and if thereâs anything to be jealous about, itâs the bottle that you hold so tightly in your hands and bring to those gorgeous lips. itâs toward the music itself for making you move so slowly and sexily. itâs at the liquor that plasters a grin on your face when gaz can usually do it himself. he does later, rest assured - makes dumb jokes to make you laugh while he runs your hands all over his body for you. and thereâs nothing left to be jealous over.
âž SOAP is a man whoâs pretty in touch with his feelings. he knows when he starts feeling jealous, when it starts making him act up, and he always feels bad about it. thereâs few people in the world soap trusts more than you - yet, he gets that hot, tight knot in his gut whenever he hears your laughter and heâs not the cause of it. when someone else seems to gain your attention more easily than he can. soap will push it down, try to act nonchalant, like it doesnât bother him. but it does. other people pick up on it and that just makes it worse.
later on, when he finally gets you to himself, soap is talkative - more than usual. like if he keeps rambling about random topics, itâll make up for lost time. at least in his mind. you eventually have to slow him down with a kiss, ask if everything is alright. you know soap better than he knows himself - of course you picked up on the shift in his mood. that simple fact helps soothe away the last lickings of jealousy. he still feels stupid about letting himself get like that.
âž GHOST wouldnât even realize he was jealous until someone else points it out. heâs usually gruff and stoic and glaring at people so his signs of jealous takes the form of not talking at all. and lots of staring. scowling is probably a better word for it - if looks can kill and all that. he internalizes his own behavior as simple concern over you, or something about the situation just not feeling right. he still memorizes the face of the guy whoâs been chatting you up. sticks him all the way to the top of his shit list.
ghost doesnât really interfere, not unless he feels like he has to (though, heâll move around the goalposts of when the appropriate time is.) until then, he kinda just sulks by himself. not even soap can muster more than a couple words from him. and you can really feel his jealousy once heâs got you by his side again and heâs barely talking to you and glaring because heâs in a general shit mood. you ask him whatâs wrong, and he says itâs nothing. itâs not until later, in private, when he reflects and feels like a total ass.
âž ALEJANDRO is quite known for his hot temper, but when it comes to jealousy, he becomes more of an opportunist. instead of embarrassing you and himself by acting out on his jealousy, heâll take the burning feeling and turn it into something useful. this means coming up to you, pulling you against his side, looking directly at the guy whoâd been chatting you up, and really laying it on thick. kisses you, touches you, makes sly little comments. might kick it up a notch by saying some lowkey insults at the guy, knowing he wouldnât do anything but alejandro kinda wishes he would.
heâll act all innocent if you confront him about it. tell you he just likes showing you off because youâre too fucking cute and he loves you too much. but that act doesnât hold up for very long because alejandro isnât great at subtly. he ends up just insulting the guy even more to you by saying he was an idiot and didnât deserve you and he kinda smelled anyway so why would you ever give him the time of day?
âž RUDOLFO gets a bit of a Kicked Puppy Vibe whenever heâs jealous. he can be a sensitive person and feels the loss of your presence in his very soul. he really does try to ignore that ugly, twisted feeling inside him whenever the jealous gets especially potent. he wants to enjoy the night with the rest of los vaqueros, but rudy always seems to find you in the crowd. always frowns a little when he finds you enjoying the company of someone else a little too much. always stops himself from going and stealing your attention for himself.
but later on, his affection gets amped up to the max. rudy usually shines under your attention, and tonight is only worse. honestly gets a little clingy for the rest of the night, and seems to feel a little better when you blame it on the alcohol. of course, rudy knows himself well enough to know what heâs doing. feels a little embarrassed by it, so maybe some of his many kisses are his way of subtly apologizing for it.
âž PHILLIP GRAVES does not get jealous at all. not at all. why should he care if some loser is making you laugh so hard at jokes that arenât even funny? he only steps in because this guy is so wildly unfunny, and also kinda creepy, that graves is afraid you might just die of boredom. and as you know, phillipâs a heroic guy. as your boyfriend and commander, itâs his job to keep you safe from any and all threats big, or in this guyâs case, very small.
graves couldnât hide his jealousy to save his own life. he likes to believe heâs smart and cunning and doesnât let dumb shit get to him - and thatâs true for a lot of things. but as soon as you gets you all to himself. heâs got this primal need to pull you close and remind you just who the fuck you belong to. he doesnât think of it as proving himself, but the marks on your neck say otherwiseâŚ
âž FRANK WOODS gets jealous more often than heâll admit it. itâs going to be loud and itâs going to be obvious. and heâll deny it - insist he isnât the jealous type and heâs got more self-respect than all that. but heâs not nearly as subtle as he tries to be. itâs so easy to catch his gaze from across the room when someone happens to get a little too friendly. heâll say over and over how he isnât jealous, and in the same breath, stand between you and the dick talking to you and start throwing out insults.
even if you call him out on it later, frank doesnât seem to care. in fact, heâll look damn proud of himself. heâs always had this instinct to protect whatâs his. always had this tendency for possessiveness. if heâs in a good mood, heâll crack a dumb joke about the guy and move on. if not, he might think you were trying to make him jealous. but of course, that would mean admitting he was jealous in the first place.

Home Again
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4
Most gods would be happy that they were back in the paradise realm after previously being banished and stripped of their divinity, but Fallen God!Ghost aches for you.
His nights are spent dreaming about you, the mortal who showed him what love was. He dreamt of sleeping beside you, kissing you, even cooking with you. He dreamt of your beautiful hair, your breathtaking eyes, your jaw-dropping smile. His dreams were filled with memories of your laughter, your smooth and lyrical voice.
Paradise realm is a paradise, sure, but nothing could compare to you. Your beauty outshines the paradise realm's, your presence calms Ghost in a way the paradise realm can never. The air was always lighter when he was around you, the colors of the world always brighter. You are his light, his world, and everything is dull without you.
He spends week after week searching for how to get back to the mortal realm and back to you. His power is potent, he can just teleport himself down to the mortal realm to see you but that doesn't seem like a satisfying answer to him.
Ghost would eventually have to leave you and go back to the paradise realm, forced to be able to only visit you from time to time. He didn't want that, he can't bear the thought of leaving you. Of sleeping in his own bed, alone.
He also couldn't make you a concubine of his, bring you to the paradise realm. It didn't feel right for him to ask you to leave everything you knew behind just so you could spend hours alone in his temple while he worked. You deserve better than that.
So what else was there to do?
It takes Ghost a few days to realize what he must do. What he has to do in order to see you again.
He is standing in God!Price's temple, all of the deities summoned there for the monthly update of what the pantheon has been doing since they last convened. He can barely hear what the others are saying, it being meaningless as his mind finally reaches an answer to his burning question.
"I'm stripping myself of my godhood and powers, permanently," Ghost says, interrupting the conversation.
The entire temple is silenced at once, everyone turning their heads to stare at Ghost in disbelief.
A god deliberately turning himself mortal? That was unheard of. It was absurd to even those deities who loved the mortals so much.
Price frowns, clearly thinking Ghost has gone mad. "Now, Ghost, let's think about this," he says, his words slow and carefully curated. "You can't just abandon your godly duties, you're the God of Warfare. If there's one thing that the mortals do the most, it's engaging in war."
Ghost scoffs. "My duties can easily be done by our Goddess of War," he replies, gesturing with his hand towards said goddess. "I no longer want to be a god."
His words ignite a flurry of murmurs between the other deities, all of them shocked beyond disbelief. They don't understand why he wouldn't want to be a god, especially after centuries of hearing him look down on mortals.
"Is this because of the mortal you met during your banishment, {Name}?" Price asks, peeved now. "I hadn't thrown you down to them for you to fall in love with them, Ghost."
"No, you did it so I could learn the importance of mortals and I have," Ghost cuts in, his power flaring up as his anger spikes. This isn't up for debate. "I'm doing this no matter what any of you say, I was doing a courteous thing by giving you all a heads-up."
Price shifts in the seat of his throne, itching to get up and slap some sense into Ghost. "Enough of this, Ghost. You don't even know if they will take you if you're not a god. Perhaps that was the only reason they fell in love with you in the first place."
Ghost snarls in rage at the accusation and assassination of your character. "Even if that's the case, which I doubt it is, it is my choice. I'd rather spend the rest of my mortal life heartbroken if they turn me away than spend eternity aching for them," he says defiantly.
Immense power fills the temple, all of it Ghost's as he pools it all in his veins. Stripping himself of his godhood and powers is excruciating, the pain almost enough to stop him, but he keeps pressing on with the action.
It was worth it, for you.
"Someone stop him!" Price bellows at the other deities, but it's too late.
Just as God!Soap reaches for Ghost to try and stop him, Ghost's godhood and powers are stripped from him, his last act of being a god is to send his mortal form where it needs to be: at your doorstep.
His second fall seems euphoric, a laugh bubbling up in his chest as he falls through the clouds and lands on your front porch just like he had done months ago.
He looks to the side just as you open your front door, a smile gracing his lips at the sight of you. The weight on his chest is lifted, everything falling into place once more.
"Ghost?" You ask, surprised. You had thought you would never see him again. "Did... Did you get your godhood taken away again?"
Ghost stands with your help, his skin thrumming at the sensation of your hands on him again. "I took it away myself," he murmurs, breathless as he stares in your beautiful eyes.
Your face twists into confusion, which makes sense since he had been itching to be a god again the first time he fell. "Why?"
"For you, love. I couldn't bear to live eternity without you," Ghost says, secretly nervous that you won't take him now that he's not a god. "I love you, {Name}."
"I love you too," you reply, making him relax. You step closer, happy that this isn't a dream. "I don't care that you're not a god anymore, I only ever wanted you."
"You will always have me, for as long as you will have me."
Ghost steps closer as well, reaching up to gently cradle your face between his hands. He can't wait for you to lean in as well, though you do so as he gently presses his lips against yours.
The kiss can only be described as heavenly, all of the noises of city life fading away until there was only the sound of you two kissing. It's so gentle and slow, Ghost savoring what it's like to kiss you. He pours every ounce of love into the kiss, needing you to be filled with his love.
It feels like you are kissing for hours before you both pull away for air. Your soft pants fill the air between you two, you smiling at him.
"Come on," you say, gently grabbing his hand and intertwining your fingers together. "Let's go inside and have dinner together."
Ghost nods and follows you inside the house that truly feels like home now. He lets you lead him into the kitchen, not even complaining about having to cook with you.
He had been a fallen god when he had first met you but now, he was neither fallen nor a god. He was just Ghost. A man you loved.

A/N: Please read the warnings carefully before proceeding. There's heavy discussions and complex character dynamics. None of it is healthy. This is a work of fiction, please read it as such. If I missed out any, lemme know.
PS: Iâd love to hear your feedback <3
Heeseung had gathered some crucial knowledge from a heavily drunk Jake.
âIntelligent and tall. Sheâs got a thing for them⌠She had this crush on a dude in the first semester. Told her he was a jerk, didnât listen, and you know⌠he broke her heart. His name? Think it was park jeong guk? jeong woo? I donât know⌠It was just some guy. Sheâs stupidâŚâ
He had wanted to punch that knowing look off Jakeâs face as he insulted you, but Heeseung tried swallowing down the surging fury.
Because, indeed, you were so stupid. Why had you allowed some loser into your life? When Heeseung gets you, he will make sure to treasure every part of you. He wouldnât need anyone else. He would use his every breath to cherish you, only you.
Despite the hostility he felt upon hearing of your previous crush, the good news was that Heeseung unintentionally matched the description. He had never been so grateful for his genes until this moment; traits he once considered useless suddenly becoming his most prized.
Heeseung bore a good height, and his mind was like a computer program. At just ten years old, his father had assumed heâd discover the cure for cancerâyet to come true, but everyone in college believed if anyone could do it, it was Lee Heeseung.
A special one, born to lead, a saviour, they claimed. But Heeseung never wanted to be his fatherâs golden child. He didnât want to contribute to society or garner the worldâs praise. He barely had friendsâexcept for Kim Sunoo, Heeseungâs childhood partner in crime.
To the world, Heeseung was an overachiever, but he knew his excellence was merely a distraction from his twisted mind. His father was the first to notice the disconnect.
Heeseung chose medicine on a whim, a flick of a coinâheads or tails. The boredom in his life drove him to try everything: paragliding, boxing, swimming, drugs and unrestrained, animalistic sex. He had lived countless lives in two decades.
Early teenage years, his father took it upon himself to train his son, instilling social norms and enforcing strict rules as he tried moulding Heeseung into someone 'normal.' Like a dog on a leash, he made Heeseung more human while maintaining a safe distance to avoid getting scratched. Heeseung understood this from the moment he gained consciousness: his father was scared of him. Terrified.
He never discovered what exactly made his father lock his door every night, but whatever it was, it confirmed a small suspicion: Heeseung was unlovable.
It wasnât anything detrimental really, because Heeseung never felt the need to seek love. Even in psychological terms, a human's absolute necessities were food, shelter, sex, and safety. When he could survive on the bare minimum, why should he look for something as wasteful as love? He'd rather spend time gaming and pretending to outshine the worldâs brilliant minds.
Now, Heeseung was tired of the boredom. So tired that he thought to end it. How long could one treck through an aimless journey?
The realisation that he could cease to exist and no one would know his whereabouts made him feel somewhat better. The taste of death brought him immense curiosity. Would he turn to dust and ashes? Would he be forgotten in memories?
He didnât think anyone would remember him. To his father, he was a trophy; to his friends, a competition; and to outsiders, a freak. His loss would merely be a statistic: a decline in Koreaâs population digits, a decrease in the number of distinction holders in the country, and one less student in Seoul Universityâs register.
Thatâs what he thought.
Until he came across you.
You, with your brown eyes, small frame, your liveliness and your beauty.
It was a rainy day in Seoul when he was walking past the bus stand after wrecking his fatherâs beloved car in a deliberate crash. Unfortunately, he made it out unscathed, only injuring the vehicle. Maybe Heeseung had been born with a shit ton of luck, destined to waste it away.
Regardless, thanks to that golden tub of luck, he was able to land his gaze on you. Heeseung unintentionally remembered countless formulae and research, but the one thing he intended to rememberâfucking forced himself to perfectly encode in his memoryâwas the way you looked that day.
Brown hair slightly wet, sticking to your jawline, knitted brows, and wide eyes staring up at the sky in vengeful retaliation. Heeseung stopped in his tracks.
He had never seen an angel angry.
You dialled a number on your mobile and spoke calmly into your phone.
âThe bus is running late. Pick me up.â He remembered a sulking pout on your lips.
âItâs raining! I donât even have an umbrella. You want me to walk?â He remembered incredulous horror written across your features, lips frowning at the callerâs words.
âFine... Please! There, I said it, now come quick.â He remembered you rolling your eyes, biting your lip and clenching your bagâs strap tighter.
The phone call ended, and you folded your arms over your chest, letting the damp material cling to your bust, detailing the line of your bra as you tapped your foot on the drenched footpath, staring ahead in longing.
That day, an inactive section of his brain burst out with life, thatâs all he could theorise. He wanted to devour you, grope your drenched body, kiss your red mouth, force his fingers into your most sensitive tissues and consume your cries.
He wanted to destroy the person on that call with you, bury them within the earthâs deepest pits so theyâd never return to you. He wanted the earth to swallow you and him together, so he could hide you away and savour this moment. He wanted to be the only existence to remember you, here, standing at the bus stop, waiting for a ride home.
Why were you here alone anyway? Who was coming?
Heeseung wanted to shadow you from the rain. If he was a part of your life, heâd chase away all the busesâlet alone make you wait for one to pick you up. He would stand drenched in the rain if it meant your ass would only meet the covers of his seat.
A booming motion of the car made your eyes light up. Heeseungâs chest knotted up, a foreign emotion bubbling in his throat as a blonde braked his car before you. You hurried to climb into the passengerâs seat, and then he drove away. Just like that.
He hadnât hurt someone so far in this life, but the urge to drive a car into the blonde grew tenaciously strong. He had never felt such hatred and venom consume his being. The thought of you getting into that car, going away to share a life Heeseung wasnât a part of left a gnawing anger in his chest.
His heart which hadnât felt something in so long suddenly felt alive, riveting with twisted emotions. Heeseung didnât want to live, but suddenly he didnât want to die either. He didnât wish to be remembered, but suddenly he wanted at least one person to remember.
That day he came to a staggering conclusion: Heeseung was unfit to be loved, but he wasnât unfit to love.
â.â.â.â.â.â.â
Peak hours on a Monday afternoon started early. Waitresses ambled from one table to another, carrying orders as the room bustled with young college students, conversing and gossiping while awaiting their snacks. The rich essence of chocolate and coffee beans filled the air, stirring hunger among individuals working alone with their noses in laptops and textbooks.
Heeseungâs lips curved in a knowing smile: if you were here, youâd be one of those unaccompanied goody two shoes, sipping on a chocolate milkshake, jotting things down in your notebook. He pictured your brows scrunched as you wrapped your beautiful lips around the straw, gulping long sips and pulling away with a content smile.
âBaby, canât we go somewhere more private?â
His jaw tightened, aggravated at the shrill interruption. He feigned a smile, his gaze falling back on the red-haired bimbo who stared at him like he was the answer to her every prayer.
Heeseung grabbed a fork, scooping up a bite of strawberry cheesecake before filling his mouth. His stomach fluttered as he revelled in the sweet texture. Ever since stealing those kisses, he couldnât stop craving sweet treats. He even bought some candies on his way home that morning, already feeling the withdrawals kicking in.
âBut howâll we do thisâin private?â
The girl stared in confusion before she was yanked into his embrace, his warm lips slamming into hers, kissing her aggressively, the sweet creaminess from the cake transferring into her mouth. She moaned, licking his lips incessantly, begging for entrance, but Heeseung dismissed her attempts, his brows furrowed in annoyance.
Nervously, the red-haired girl slid her chair closer, biting her lip as she observed the underwhelmed expression on his face.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you mad at me?â She sulked, sucking at her teeth, staring up with concern.
Heeseung shook his head and pulled her into his lap. âDid you do something to make me mad?â He mumbled, rubbing his nose down her neck, peppering small kisses to distract her from his response.
âAhân-no! I didnât,â she gasped, her concern melting away already, her head tilting back as Heeseung planted kisses down her collarbone.
âShouldnât you be at uni right now?â He abruptly changed the topic, portraying the perfectly caring boyfriend who gave a shit about her life.
âYeah, but Iâll ask a friend for the class notes,â she mustered up, her breath laborious as Heeseung ran his hand down her thigh, his kisses growing feistier against her exposed neck.
âHm, are you that smart?â He pressed on, his patience running out. âThought Iâd fucked you dumb already,â he whispered repulsive words, his hand covering her thighs as the girl tightened in his hold, her lips pressed together to silence any sound, cautious of their surroundings.
Heeseungâs gaze changed, a menacing darkness flashing through. âSmart bitches,â he began, his words blunt and aggressive. âFucking hate them. Running their big mouths all the damn time,â he declared, his bitter tone making her knees quiver in arousal.
âTell me, baby, youâre not one of those, are you?â He urged.
One way to access a womanâs weaknesses was to put her up against another.
The girl whose name he had forgotten the second she uttered it, shook her head with desperation. Had he asked her to admit to murder, she would have agreed.
âNo!â She yelped, alarmed at his lack of interest. âIâm so dumb. Barely passing this degree,â she confessed, her voice cracking as she spread her knees for his attention.
âHmâreally?â He mocked, and she nodded, her body pleading for his approval. âBut your course is so tough. You must be so smart.â Heeseungâs tone dripped with sarcasm, his frown hinting at his displeasure.
The girl choked; her breaths alarmingly rapid as Heeseungâs fingers trailed closer to her clothed centre. âBut not meâthereâs some smart girls in my class. IâIâm not like them, Hee,â she rambled, her eyes screwing shut.
âSmart girls likeâyourself?â He threw the bait, challenging her, and she immediately shook her head, her body jolting as Heeseung flicked his fingers against her centre.
âNot meânot me. This other girlâAh!â She bit her tongue, her body trembling as Heeseung drew faint circles against her clit. âThereâsâY/N!â
Bingo.
âSheâs like the smartestâoh!â
Heeseung halted his movement, his teeth gritting in frustration, anger bubbling up his throat as the girl kept moaning into her words, prolonging this ordeal. He hadnât spent the last three days coercing a second-year pharmacology student from your college to serenade and romance. He wanted information.
The girlâs arched frame twisted at the sudden lack of touch, her wet gaze darting to Heeseungâs in urgency.
âSpeak,â he commanded bluntly, his usual sugar-coated tone gone along with his smile.
The girlâs expression faltered, her blood turning cold. âUhâthereâs this girlâsheâs really smart, always acing her exams,â she responded reluctantly, her insecure gaze attempting to read his intentions.
Heeseungâs hand slid back down to her leaking centre, his movement more vigorous as he wrapped his lips on her earlobe. âYouâre so hot like thisâlike a dumb bitch for me,â he drawled, sucking her sensitive flesh.
His sudden shift in demeanour seemed like a hallucination, his voice now intentionally low and sultry. âYou wouldnât want to be like Y/N, hm? Youâre my good girl.â
The girl was a goner. Her head dropped back onto his shoulder, her eyes shut, and her body trembling from his touch, his previous indifference a distant memory.
âYeahâI amâsoâso dumb for you,â she babbled nonsensically. Heeseungâs flicks quickened.
âThat bitchâsheâs so smart and talks too much, probably why no one likes her. Such a loserâ I donât know why Park Jongseongâs crazy for her.â
Heeseungâs arm faltered, his body freezing.
The girl, lost in the throes of her arousal, ignored it, urgently pressing her hand down to maintain the pressure. âSheâs so full of herself. Bet sheâs as virgin as a nunâbut maybeâshe finally let poor Jongseong have a go, who knoâAh!â
Heeseung yanked her hair back, his clenched fist tightening and ripping a few strands. His gaze was predatory, chest heaving as he stared down at the horrified girl.
âIâll rip that tongue out, sweetheart,â he hissed, his venomous tone cutting through and gripping her heart with horror.
The sickening words replayed like a broken record. A searing sting flared inside his chest, his jaw tightening as he thought of that name: Park Jongseong.
Of course, it was the guy from the photosâit fit him perfectly. His arrogant, self-righteous demeanour, that overly exaggerated smile on his face as he held you. It had to be him.
The imagery the stupid girl on his lap painted, her words dripping with malice for his Y/N; everything began to suffocate his lungs.
Heeseung stared down, his hand still gripping her locks as she looked at him with disbelief.
As he released his grip, she winced, her eyes wet with tears.
Heeseung wrapped an arm around her waist like a shackle, holding her captive as he leaned forward and picked up the steaming hot coffee she had ordered. She flinched as he pushed the cup to her lips.
âDrink.â
The girl stared at him like he had grown two heads.
âItâs too hotââ
âLeave one sip behind, and youâll wish you had listened.â
Her heart raced, body turning cold. Heeseungâs chilling gaze and crooked smile were laced with demonic intent, making her stomach churn. She had never felt her organs shrivel with just the sight of a manâs empty gaze.
She realised at that very moment. She had to obey or else⌠she didnât even want to consider what could happen.
She took the heated cup, gulping down her spit to ease the pressure in her throat.
Then she clung to the cup and downed the entire thing. The first rush of liquid scalded the roof of her mouth. Burns trailed down her tongue, to her throat, buzzing all the way into her stomach. Bloody broils flared up, her muscles jolting in agony as pain overwhelmed her cognition. With an excruciating sob, she dropped the empty cup, shattering it on the ground as she tried screaming for help.Â
The busy cafĂŠ didnât seem to notice anything but the shatter, rolling their eyes at the coupleâs antics before continuing with their own endeavours.
Heeseung patted her head, smiling in satisfaction. âThatâs my good girl.âÂ
The sobbing girl tore herself from his lap. Standing on quivering limbs, she scrambled to grab her purse and dashed towards the exit.
To Heeseungâs delight, the red-haired bimbo wasnât so useless after all. He now had a name: Park Jongseong.
Grabbing his phone, Heeseung dialled a number.
âSim, for your birthday, letâs plan something crazy.â
â.â.â.â.â.â.â
The homeroom buzzed with chatter as students scattered to join their friends at the end of the lecture. While most were preparing to head home, you had to stay back for the weekly council meeting. With your head slack on the table, you shut your eyes and let out an irked groan, wishing you could abandon all your duties and just scramble home.
âY/N, just resign already. Youâre too exhausted,â Yeji, your best friend, called out, rolling her eyes as she zipped up her tote bag.
You groaned again, slamming your head against the table. âYou have no idea how badly I want to take your stupid advice,â you whined, rubbing your temples in pain.
Yeji, her pink hair perfectly styled, retouched her lip gloss and eyed your sulking frame. âYou take on too much for no reason,â she sighed, finishing her touch-up and patting your head.
âCanât you loosen up? Look at me, we have finals coming up, and Iâm off clubbing with Jaemin,â she gloated, her smile widening at the thought of her boyfriend.
Getting into the worldâs best university on an eighty per cent scholarship was tough, but no one prepared you for the strenuous part: upholding those perks. Paired with a demanding course load, extracurriculars and volunteer work felt like a constant nuisance.
âI wishâŚâ you muttered.
Knowing her best friendâs upright nature, Yeji shook her head in defeat.
âBesides that, Iâll be having fun soon,â you iterated, and Yeji instantly grew alert, her eyes wide with anticipation.
âYouâre getting a boyfriend?â She gasped, grabbing your shoulders to turn you towards her in excitement.Â
âNo!â You dismissed, and Yejiâs excitement died as soon as it began, releasing your shoulders in frustration.
âAt this point, I strongly believe you wish to die a virgin,â she remarked, running her fingers through her dark strands, her gaze cold. âYou even rejected Jongseong,â Yeji huffed.
You winced.
It had been three months since you had been hit by a truck of feelings from the raven-haired boy. Three months of discomfort and pain.
You were introduced to your senior, Park Jongseong, as a good friend of Na Jaemin. The two friend groups had merged, and soon the initial trioâYeji, Ji-min, and youâgrew an acquaintanceship with their group: Jay, Jaemin, and Jisung.
Since you had been to an all-girls school, the first few months of interactions were painstakingly awkward. You felt like an outsider even in a room full of familiar people.
You envied your best friends Yeji and Ji-min for their effortless socialisation skills. Whilst they enjoyed trips and study sessions with the guys, you drew a line, only speaking when spoken to.
In the first year, you were constantly running away from this new world of discomfort. Jay, however, refused to draw a barrier. Like the definition of a headstrong man, he never gave up. Gestures like stopping you in the hallways to talk about his hobbies and inviting you to all his parties showed you that Jay was making a real effort at friendship.
All of it came tumbling down when he confessed to you. The friendship you treasured faded, and you both became strangers again.
âDonât bring him up,â you gritted, your heart plummeting as you remembered all the distant memories.
You recalled that nightmarish day. You might take this to your grave but Park Jongseong was your first crush. You secretly liked him throughout the farce of friendship.
He held your bag after class, joined extracurriculars like the music society and learned amazing guitar skills. He took you shopping to destress after you failed your lab assessment and played silly nursery rhymes on his guitar to make you laugh. Everything was special until the last day of the second semester.
Jay had asked you to a movie, and as always, you assumed he meant everyone in the friend group, so you called Yeji and Ji-min along.
The moment he saw you walk in with the girls, his expression fell with dismay. Instead of speaking to you about it, he handed the popcorn to your friends and left.
You followed him instantly, but maybe you shouldnât have.
âJay!â You chased after him, your heels thudding against the pavement, confusion painted on your features.
He paused in his tracks and turned, his eyes darkening.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Instead of responding, Jayâs gaze narrowed, a strained chuckle leaving his mouth. âDonât act dumb now,â he rasped, his voice bitter.
You opened your mouth to question him, but he suddenly stepped close, his towering frame making your insides queasy.
âItâs always the same with you. How long will you pretend?â Jayâs voice trembled with accusation.
âDo you not see me? Chasing after you like a fucking loser. Iâve spent months trying to figure you out. Stop this game of hide and seek!â He roared, tightening his hold on your shoulders as he stared down at you like a wounded wolf.
You felt so wronged and hurt, your throat clogging up with emotions.
Because Jay was right. You were playing dumb, looking past his feelings, ignoring your own to hide away. Your insecurities and fear of disappointment were louder than his words, ringing in your head like tinnitus.
Because you had always assumed someone as rich and well-put-together as Park Jongseong didnât need to like a mediocre girl on a scholarship.
You felt that breaking his heart might save his friendship, might save you from the pain of losing his love. So you wanted to sever all chances before you even tasted his love.
âWhatâre you talking about?â
âTell me, Y/N. Have you ever once liked me?â He questioned, his gaze softening as he held your face in his hands, his pupils trembling with need.
Yes.
Yes!
âNo.â
His arms dropped, his gaze dull and empty as he stared into your tearful eyes.
âWeâre good friends, Jay. Look, we donât have to rush into anythingââ
You felt chills run down your spine as he cut off your words, his tone sharp and damaging.
âDelete my number. Donât ever come see me.â
âAnd if I ever accidentally find my way back to you, slap me awake like this again.â
He tore his arm from your grip and you two never spoke again.
And then a week later, he started dating your friend Ji-min.
âY/N!â You snapped out of your thoughts, head swirling with flashbacks as Yeji shouted for your attention. âWhat fun were you referring to?â She shifted closer, curiosity written across her features.
You smiled, flicking her forehead away.
âJake suddenly wants a big birthday bash for his twenty-second,â you told her, thinking back to this morning when he was talking over the phone with his friends, inviting them to his party.
Seeing you pass by, he called you back, his face glowing with excitement as he ended the call.
âInvite all your friends and their mamasâ itâs my 22nd!â He roared, and you imagined heâd burst into a Taylor Swift, â22â, any minute now.
âJake? He usually calls them juvenile,â Yeji giggled, thinking back to the time she had a fat crush on your brother and how she stuck to him like a leech until he shooed her off.
You nodded, rolling your eyes at your brotherâs weird mood swings. âHe wants to hold a grand party. Youâre invited, I guess,â you waved her off, and Yeji laughed, her eyes twinkling in joy.
âOf course, Iâll be coming with my boo,â she winked. âIs it at the house?â Yeji asked, twirling her strands excitedly.
You shook your head, tidying your desk and packing up. âHeâs planning it with his friend, Heeseung.â
Yeji gasped at the name as if it had evoked a cocktail party effect, her eyes wide as she held onto your shoulders. âThat friend you had a wet dream of?â
Your jaw dropped, eyes wide in fear, darting across the hall to make sure no one heard her. âShut up!â You yelled, your cheeks flushed red, the memory of your filthy mind fuelling your embarrassment.
Yeji laughed, a playful glint flashing in her hazel eyes. âWhat, did I lie?â She crudely announced, and you felt helpless, unable to feign innocence.Â
The night had left you shaken up. The truth was, you had never felt this affected by a hallucinationâ imagination, whatever it was, it blurred the lines between reality and fiction. You imagined Heeseung fondling your breasts, kissing your lips. All of it was a newfound hunger.
You scrambled to call Yeji soon after to regain some composure. After a long discussion, her diagnosis was a âsevere case of ovulationâ, and she prescribed, âgetting dicked down asapâ.
After that night, you kept wishing for more hallucinations, but your brain refused to cooperate. You had to rely on a picture you had stolen from Jakeâs phone of Heeseung in a black button-down with his legs spread apart on the couch, his lap seeming so inviting that your abdomen clenched with need.
Maybe, you were ovulating. But why was it so intense?
âYou know, maybe you should shoot your shot with him,â Yeji suggested, patting your shoulder as she stood alert, waving at the man standing in the doorway.
âMy rideâs here, bye girly!â Yeji waved, setting her already perfect hair for the nth time before skipping to the smiling blonde, his gaze practically shooting hearts at your friend. Jaemin grabbed her hand, and they scattered off.
You sighed.
Lee Heeseung, what are you doing to me?
â.â.â.â.â.â.â
Booming music drowned out any chance of conversation. Guests sprawled in like ants to a sugar cube. Faces glowed with joy, arms carried gifts, and gazes sparkled with anticipation as they searched for the man of honour.
But it wasn't the birthday boy they sought. It was Lee Heeseung, the man who had invited the entire university to his farmhouse. It was a privilege, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
During his four years at the university, he hadnât spared anyone a glanceâlet alone befriended anyone. When news circulated of Sim Jaeyunâs birthday invite at Heeseungâs, everyone jumped at the chance.
Girls skipped lessons to find the perfect dress, while guys ransacked their wardrobes for branded watches. Curiosity grew almost sleep-depriving. Who was this friend that Heeseung, the man who never let anyone into his circle, deemed worthy of a lavish party? For weeks, the university buzzed with gossip and excitement leading up to this day.
Heeseungâs gaze was fixed on the main entrance, his lips pressed into a thin line. He remained unmoving as over-enthusiastic people rushed to greet him.
He knew the world like the back of his hand. They hated him and despised his arrogance, yet they flocked to him like moths to a flame. All he had to do was give them a chance, let down his guard and the world would surrender in his palms. But it didnât matter.
As long as he had your attention, the world could be his.
Jake appeared out of nowhere, his arm settling on Heeseungâs shoulder, smiling as his soccer mates walked in.
âYouâre ignoring the entire hall,â Jake muttered, his grip tightening on Heeseungâs shoulder to warn him.
Heeseung glanced at the clock for the nth time, his fingers tapping impatiently against his glass. He barely acknowledged the birthday boy's attempt at conversation, his irritation mounting as the clock ticked on without your presence.
âWhere is she?â He questioned.
âShe had a presentation to finish up,â Jake said, rolling his eyes. âSheâll be here with Yeji and Jaemin soon.â
Jake wasnât stupid. He had once believed he was special to Heeseung. The notorious case of Heeseungâs egocentrism was a popular topic in the universityâs hallways. Even his soccer buddies claimed Heeseung was a nutcase with extreme intelligence.
When Heeseung approached the basketball team and defeated Jake, the established ace of Seoul University, Jake developed a sense of respect and admiration for him. Despite everyoneâs claims, Jake realized Heeseungâs issue wasnât indifference or social deficiencies.
Everyone was infatuated, enthralled, and unequivocally aware of Heeseungâs gift; he commanded attention because he was extraordinary. The problem was that Heeseung didnât care about them, and when people realized this, their fantasy shattered, leaving them scraping for bits of attention and bitter envy.
Jake knew Heeseung kept him around for a reason, but despite his awareness, Jake was willing to be a pawn if it meant catching Heeseungâs attention.
âJakey Jakeyâ itâs your birthday!â Jake looked away, finding his best friend, Park Sunghoon, on the other end of the hall with a gift bag. Jakeâs smile grew, and he signalled to Heeseung that he was heading over. Heeseung nodded, and Jake scurried off.
Heeseung averted his gaze, staring back at the main entrance. The delay grew unbearable, and he considered heading out to the parking lot when suddenly he spotted Jaemin and Yeji walking inside.
He stood alert, his gaze tensely fixed on the door.
He held his breath as you walked into his line of sight. His body felt the shift, breath quickening. His fists tightened, and his gaze traced your body with unfiltered haste.Â
Fuck, that black body-con dress, outlining your curves, hugging your body like a second skin. His grip on the glass tightened. The dress revealed your defined collarbones, and the slit from the knee paired with black-heeled boots showcased your smooth, honeyed legs. Your hair was curled slightly, silky strands falling in waves against your cheeks, reaching your elbows.
Heeseungâs head throbbed as he tried to decipher his feelings. Seeing you walk inside with that dress made something rise in his throat, and it wasnât from the alcohol. It was worse, mentally and physically damaging.
How fucking demeaning. He was a man who never felt the burn of envy, but a fucking dress had him feeling so weakâso horribly jealous.
He wished he could tear it off and burn it to ashes like the scorching flames in his own blood. He had planned this moment all morning, intending to walk up to you with a smile, but now he found it difficult to breathe, let alone move.
However, the world doesnât stop. Even if he couldnât move, you very much could.
Your stray gaze finally landed on the familiar figure, and you walked up to him. You still werenât mentally prepared to face the man you had been dreaming of for the past few weeks, but you found it unkind to ignore him when he had planned this lavish party.
You smiled, holding out a small gift bag.
âAs far as I recall, itâs not my birthday,â Heeseung finally found his voice, his cheeky comment making you narrow your eyes.
âItâs basic etiquette to bring something when you visit someone,â you replied a hint of playfulness in your tone. You caught sight of the gift display in the backdrop where innumerable presents were mounted on the table. âIâll take it there,â you politely acknowledged.
You were ready to walk off, but Heeseung pulled you back, instantly grabbing the present. Taken aback, you opened your mouth to question him, but he ignored your curious gaze.
Everyone stealing reserved glances at the duo paused, their eyes wide, jaws dropped in amusement. Like a boy opening his Christmas gifts, Heeseung rushed to untie the ribbon and tear through the wrapping paper.
âHeeseung, itâs not that greatâŚâ your panicked voice cut through, cautious of everyoneâs expectant gaze on your gift. The plea went right through him, and he finally discovered a small clear bottle.
You brought him cologne.
You had racked your brain for days on what to bring him, and you had decided upon a blackberry cologne. The succulent scent carried a sinful aura, an intimidating and enigmatic aroma that perfectly captured Lee Heeseung.
Heeseung ran his thumb over the label. Then he unscrewed the top and sprayed it on his wrist. As he brought it to his nose, his heart felt fuller than before.
He imagined you walking into a Jo Malone store, attentively trying numerous scents until the abundant smells overstimulated your senses as you thought of him. How long did you spend deciding on the perfect one? How long did he manage to fill up your head?
âItâs just a small gift,â you mumbled, analysing his features.
âItâs perfect.â He said it with so much sincerity, you had no choice but to believe him.
âWhereâs my gift?â Jake appeared with some of his rowdy friends from the sports club, his arm linked with the ice skater, Park Sunghoon. He pouted dramatically, his bottom lip sticking out. You rolled your eyes at his antics.
âLast I checked, you asked me to buy you a Nintendo Switch as an early birthday present,â you replied. Jake gave you a mock glare. âThat was ages ago,â he huffed.
Before you could retort, you caught Yeji's eyes from across the room. She stood by the bar, urgently motioning for you to come over. The alarmed look on her face made you excuse yourself from the guys as you hurried to her.
Yeji grabbed your arm with an intense grip, struggling to catch her breath as a crazed laugh bubbled up her throat.
âYouâre kidding,â she gasped. âYou were talking about Lee Heeseung!â She roared with laughter, her expression priceless as she turned to you.
You stared at her, confused. âWhat?â
âY/N!â She shook you slightly, her wide eyes trembling with excitement. âYou donât know him? Heâs popular across the entire district!â
Seeing your blank expression, Yeji took it upon herself to fill you in. She pulled out her phone and showed you Seoul University's popular forum dedicated to Heeseung. As she clicked through the links, you realised the man was practically the definition of perfection.
His father owned a large-scale pharmaceutical corporation, and Heeseung was the sole heir. Despite this parental security, he was at the top of his classes, captain of the basketball team, head of the arts and music society, and president of student affairs. By his second semester, he had already secured an internship at HYBE, a massive healthcare conglomerateâseparate from his fatherâs influence. He was so incredibly intelligent that the college even commemorated his achievements with dedicated newsletter columns and interview sessions.
As you absorbed this overwhelming information, Yejiâs tone flattened, her lips pressing into a thin line. âBut, Y/N, heâs known as a player,â she reluctantly added. âApparently, there hasnât been a girl he hasnât had.â
You stared silently at the soles of your boots.
Of course, he was a player. Anyone would drop to their knees for a chance to be with him. You had read somewhere that gravitational pull was the strongest in a black hole, but science hadnât investigated the worldâs pull towards Heeseung. You had only met him a couple of days ago, yet he had already made you feel so unbearably enraptured.
Ruminating over Yejiâs words, you were speechless at your own disappointment. How could he affect you so terribly?
âButâheâs never had anything serious,â Yeji tried to console you, squeezing your shoulder.
Throat tightening, you attempted a smile.
âWho invited them?â Yeji's gasp broke through your thoughts, her mouth hanging open, eyes bulging in shock as she stared behind you.
You shifted, turning to see what had her so stunned.
Your jaw dropped.
In walked a couple, hand in hand, wearing complimentary outfits. A couple you hadnât spoken to in ages, a couple that haunted your sleepless nights: Park Jongseong and Yu Ji-min.
Your frantic gaze searched for Jake, conflicting emotions swirling across your face as you tried to make sense of your surroundings. Your older brother stood inattentive, engrossed in a conversation with Sunghoon as Jay approached him, wearing a broad smile. You watched them exchange a quick handshake, Jake accepting a large gift box.
âWhy would Jake invite him?â Yeji huffed.
You didnât knowâbut a gut feeling told you this was meant to happen.
The familiar gaze met yours. He was now heading to the leather couch beside his girlfriend, his eyes trained on you. You offered him a tight smile, your insides trembling in growing anxiety.
Jay was stern, his gaze cold and disdainful. Whilst maintaining eye contact, he pulled his girlfriend to sit on his lap, his grip tight on Ji-minâs waist as she whispered something into his ear.Â
Your smile dropped at his immaturity.
You had lost both your friends, Jay and Ji-min, because of your mistakes. You had avoided them like the plague, and something deep within you suggested that the mysterious rumours circulating around the university werenât just random gossip; they were spread by someone you had once considered as close as Yeji.
Something more sinister gnawed at your insides.Â
Heeseung.
Amidst the chaos, you felt someoneâs piercing gaze on you. Like a magnet, you found him. Under the blue strobe light, Heeseung stood leaning against the barâs counter, flanked by a few girls, with his eyes fixed on you, watching like a hawk.
Though he was a strangerâa complete nobody in your worldâyou still felt he was reading you like an open book. Anxiety washed over you, your throat drying up under his intense scrutiny. If your life was split into meaningful chapters, Heeseung knew it by heart, his gaze uncomfortably invasive, expectant as if judging your next move.
A waiter zooming by caught your attention, and you pounced on the opportunity. Fingers trembling, you grabbed a glass of champagne and downed it in one go, the liquor leaving a bitter burn in your throat.
âY/N, you donât hold your liquor well,â Yeji frowned. One drink never hurt anyone, and besides, this was a partyâeveryone was soon going to lose their marbles.
You turned away, grabbing another drink from a passing waiter.
âY/N, stop!â Yeji warned. You smiled tightly, ready to throw more alcohol into your system.
In a flash, Heeseung, who had been a good fifty people away, stood towering over you. He snatched the glass from your grasp and chugged it down. You watched in disbelief as he slammed the empty glass on a passing waiterâs tray, his gaze darkening as he stared at you. Yeji took it as her cue to scram, rushing to accompany her boyfriend on the dance floor.
Your stomach clenched with want. Even simply dressed in a black t-shirt and leather jeans, his expression sour, his appeal was uncanny. He made you forget the elephant in the room.
âSoâ he bothers you that much?â Heeseung spat, his voice low and venomous.
He had planned to watch from the sidelines. Jongseongâs name was enough for Heeseung to find sources and sniff out your past link. He was told you had rejected the boy, but that didnât match Jakeâs description of your first crush.
It didnât take long for Heeseung to realise that you really did like Jongseong, your affection reflected in that picture you still chose to keep. The reason you had declined his proposal wasnât a mystery either. You feared ruining a chance at friendship, and that conclusion made Heeseung sleepless.
Heeseung had orchestrated this party and invited Jongseong, just to watch your heartbreak. He wanted to dwell in the forlorn misery in your gaze, relish in the fury and hatred fuelling your agonised expression. He wanted you to shatter so that you were left with no choice but to find him. So that he could collect those shards and piece you together. For himself.
Yet here you stood, bothered and apologetic. There wasnât one bad bone inside you, your heart pure like the sunshine that streaks through his curtains every morning.
âHow do you know about Jay?â You curiously pointed out, folding your arms and gazing up at the man.
Heeseung flinched at the nickname. Tightening his fists, he responded with gritted teeth. He didnât need to lie for this.
âJake.â
One word and your face crumbled, your finger pointing at the blonde who laughed beside his friends. âWhy canât that idiot keep his mouth shut?â You complained, glaring daggers. You couldnât believe your brother blurted out your business to Heeseung.
âDo you still want him?â
Say it.
Say it, and heâll burn this place down, along with Park Jongseong, leaving you with nothingânot even a corpse to mournâjust a speck of remains and dirt.
âI donât.â
His eyes shifted back to their brown.
âI just wish I hadnât lost my friends.â You glanced down at your shoes, face shrouded in despair as you reminisced the past.
Heeseung watched the sorrow flicker in your deprived eyes.
This was simpler than he had imagined.
âLetâs get the party started!â Jake yelled at the top of his lungs, carrying a huge celebratory bottle of champagne as everyone huddled around him.
Yeji appeared by your side, dragging you towards the crowd where Jake prepared to unseal the wine, like a cake-cutting ceremony. From your peripheral vision, you noticed Heeseung walk up beside youâuntil everyone, including Jake, roared for him to come forward.
You watched Heeseung shake his head dismissively, but Jakeâs adamant smile made him falter. For the first time, you saw a crack in Heeseungâs stern façade, a genuine sense of joy flashing through his expression.
You watched with intrigue as he stepped up, and Jake finally celebrated his twenty second. Everyone cheered as Jake popped the cork and showered Heeseung and Sunghoon with the essence.
Yeji over-excitedly gasped. During her overjoyed dance, she accidentally slipped forward, toppling her glass of wine onto your dressâs front. You quickly wiped at it, but the liquid soaked into the flimsy fabric with ease.
âShitâ sorry boo,â she cried over the music. You shook your head, dismissing her concern.
âIâm heading to the washroom,â you muttered. She nodded, unsure of your words, as the loud roaring and music drowned everything.
You slipped away from the chaos, excusing your way through until you managed to escape to the other end of the hall. You followed the dim hallway, the raucousness dissolving, as you searched for the nearest bathroom. You found a door at the far end with a staircase to your right and sped towards it.
âLong time.â
You turned, instantly freezing up.
Jay stood at the other end, speaking with his familiar calculated baritone. He stepped forward, watching your shocked expression morph into disappointment.
âOh, seems like youâre not too happy to see me here,â he claimed, now standing a mere step away, his tone dripping with malice. âIs the princess running away again?â The darkness returned, his jaw clenched.
You gulped, standing upright. âI donât have anything to say to you,â you told him, turning away.
A bitter chuckle escaped his chest. âOf course, you donât,â he spat. âNow that youâve found a man, you donât have much to say,â he claimed, running his fingers through his dark strands, his gaze menacing.
Your throat burned with hostility. âYouâre ridiculous,â you huffed. âFollowing a girl when youâve already got a girlfriendâseems like I dodged a bullet.â You uttered the words, disturbed by his arrogant nonchalance, and instantly the atmosphere grew with heightening tension.
Your cruel words seemed to inflict some damage as Jayâs body trembled, his fists tightening in aggravation.
Because you were right. He knew it.
As you stepped away, all common sense evaded him. He grabbed your wrist and slammed you to the wall, a gasp wrenching out of your chest as he hovered above, his hands gripping your waist with an iron grip.
âI never needed you,â he whispered, his eyes wide and pained as you attempted to free yourself, but Jayâs grip on your waist only tightened. âIâve just liked the chase. You were so full of yourselfâso pathetic. Nothing about you ever made me feel somethingâanythingââ
A bloodcurdling scream wrenched out of your throat as a shattering sound reverberated within your frame. Your eyes bulged out, heart trashing and body quivering in horror. One second Jay was standing, staring at you like a madman, and the next, he was knocked to the ground, blood splattering against your cheeks, staining your dress and skin scarlet.
Breathe. Take a deep breath. Breathe.
You plummeted to the floor, your knees giving out as Jayâs forehead and neck covered in red pooled on the ground. You internally prepared yourself as you looked up, staring at the perpetrator.
A dull void of a gaze, Heeseungâs hand was wrapped around a half-shattered bottle with its sharpened edges dripping Jayâs blood. Your insides clenched in horror.
Heeseung stepped closer as Jayâs limp frame scrambled to sit up, his gaze chasing the danger, his grip on his head loosening as he spotted the man.
âYouâyou fucking lunaticâwhat the fuck is wrong withââ
Jayâs yelps fell on deaf ears as Heeseung discarded the bottle and plummeted to the floor before you, his pupils drained of colour and hands trembling as he caressed your cheeks. His thumb rubbed at the splashes of blood, eyes wide with terrorâa terror you had never seen. More than his own actions, his line of concern was the beads of red staining your complexion.
âHeeâŚâ you tried to speak, your throat dry and lips quivering.
âItâs okayâyouâre okay,â his voice trembled as he consoled himself, more than anyone, his gaze frantically running over your body.
What you didnât realise was Jay reaching out to grab the loitering bottle. Heeseungâs warm gaze and words were so captivating, pulling you away from the unfolding catastrophe. Suddenly, the fantasy shattered. Jay smashed the bottle against the back of Heeseungâs head.
You screamed, your body jerking alert as you pulled Heeseung into your arms, sobbing aloud. Jay stood on trembling legs, glaring at Heeseung with a poisonous look before limping away. You tightened your hold on Heeseung, your body shaking despite his grievous injury. The attack was strong enough to lash out blood but not wilful enough to break the bottle like Heeseung had done.
You tried to pull away to check his wound, but Heeseung pulled you back into his chest, his arms wrapping around you protectively.
Fuck. He could die right now and heâd be happy. Over the fucking moon. He almost wanted to thank that low-life for brusing him because it worked in his favour.
You gazed upon him with sympathetic attention, like you were gazing upon a wounded puppy. You were finally in his arms, letting him envelop you. He inhaled the scent of vanilla and fresh peaches, his hold on your frame tightening with desperation.
He wanted to consume you.
âHeeseung, let me see your wound,â you softly cried into his shoulder, unable to breathe at the intensity of his clutch.
âItâs not deepânothing compared to what that moron will take home,â Heeseung arrogantly claimed. His prideful tone made your insides hurl; it reminded you of the initiation. Heeseung had started it all; he had slammed a glass bottle into Jayâs head.
You pushed him back, your gaze stern as you met his aggravated one. âWhy?â You cried hysterically, recalling the insanity of the previous moment. âHow could youââ
Heeseungâs expression grew colder than ice. âIâll break every bone he used to touch you,â he declared, the honesty in his tone sending chills down your spine.Â
âYou literally almost murdered him!â You screeched.
Heeseung cracked a deluded smile. âHeâll wish I had.â
You felt speechless. Utterly stunned into silence. What did that mean? You wanted to assume that his fury made him speak nonsense, that he didnât mean a word. However, when you stared into Heeseungâs gaze, your stomach turned at the resolute darkness, his words horrifyingly blunt and absurd.
You were about to call him out when you noticed trail of blood slither down the side of his face. You gasped. "You need to get to a hospital,â you urged.
âAnd explain what?â He scoffed with a playful smile.
You felt bewildered. Of course, you didn't care at the moment! As long as he got treated, you didn't care what lie he spat out.
You glared at him. âYou need to get it checked out, Heeseung,â you muttered with concern, noticing the blood kept gushing in thicker streams.
Wordlessly, Heeseung grabbed your hand, intertwining your fingers, and nodded as he pulled you to stand. You sighed in relief, grateful that he was finally listening. His grip never faltering on your hand, you both turned towards the venue.
Heeseung suddenly pulled you back, ignoring your confusion, instead climbing up the staircase. âWhatâre you doing?â You groaned, attempting to retract, but Heeseung just kept walking.
Upstairs, the living room was carpeted with posh couches and chairs. You passed by expensive paintings hung up on the wall as Heeseung took you inside a dark room, stalking through blindly until he pushed at another door.
Lights flickering on, you surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings. Heeseung had brought you to a bathroom. You glanced at him in confusion as he shut the door and turned towards you.
âHeeseung, whatâre you doing?â
âYou said I need to get my injury checked out,â he responded, leaning down and grabbing a first aid kit from the cubby hole. âIâm doing it,â he flashed you a clever smile, his eyes shining with amusement.
Even if you were about to throw a tantrum, you couldnât anymore. Heeseungâs words, his eyes, his smile, everything was enough for you to sit still and obey. You watched as he stepped towards the large mirror. He casually tilted his head to inspect the wound.
Expressionless, he opened up the first aid kit, grabbing a transparent bottle and cotton pads like a professional, as if he had already addressed such wounds in the past. With practised nonchalance, he soaked the cotton pad with the liquid and pressed it into the wound.
You winced, instinctively jumping forward to grab the bottle from his hand.
âWho deals with a wound like that!â You screeched hysterically.
Heeseung turned, his brows raised, lips pressed in confusion. You put forward your palm, glaring at him. He surveyed your stern expression and, to your surprise, gave in easily, handing you the stained cotton ball without putting up a fight. You had imagined he would claim he knew moreâbut Heeseung just stared at you passively. You gulped, edging forward.
You knew the wound was deeply ingrained on the right side of his head, but reaching it was an issue. You were a good half a person shorter than him, his towering frame allowing you to reach only his chest. Standing on your tiptoes, you could only make it to his collarbone. You tried pushing up to reach the mark, but it remained physically impossible.
You noticed the amusement sparking in his expression, his lips curving into a gentle smile. âWhatâs so funny?â You gruffly questioned, and his smile only grew more.
He wrapped his arms around your waist and lifted you up, setting you on the cold basin. He turned, towering between your parted legs.
âThere.â
You quickly recovered, ignoring the butterflies fluttering in your chest or the heat stirring from where he had just touched you. You reached up. The angle allowed you to address the wound better.
Thankfully, there was a single cut, slashing down to the nape. You held the cotton against the cut, letting it absorb the blood, and then gently swirled it across.
Heeseungâs breathing suddenly grew heavy, and you flinched, quickly scanning his face for hints of pain. âIs it too bad?â You muttered, your eyes wide and voice reluctantly soft.
He nodded. It was painful, so unbearably agonising like he was thrown into a fuming furnace, burning and dying, then reincarnating and burning every breath he spent in your vicinity.
His fists tightened, his gaze tracing your attentive expression, your lips puckered in deep concentration, hands so gentle, like a motherâs touchâor what Heeseung assumed mustâve been had he ever felt one. The past month he only dreamed of this momentâto have you before him, launched between his legs, attending only to him.
You cleaned up his wound with precision. He had practice, but your touch was magicalâa healing balm of its own.
âHave you done this for anyone else?â His question came out gruffer than expected, his stomach twisting as he imagined you perched on a sink like this for someone else.
You finished cleaning up, moving to grab the bandage. âOf course not,â you huffed, peeling the bandaid from the wrapper.
âI just know Iâm not supposed to stab wounds like that,â you sarcastically claimed, reminded of him jabbing his head. âYouâre the future doctor⌠you should know this,â you leaned to the side, pressing the band-aid into his scalp.
âThey teach us how to treat,â he stated. âWhatever gets the job done,â he shrugged.
You couldnât help but grimace at his words.
âIf you donât treat with the element of pain in mind, youâll hurt yourself more.â
Heeseung's throat was suddenly tighter than normal.
You wiped your hands with a tissue. Shifting closer, you inspected Heeseungâs injury one more time. You were about to get off the sink when you noticed glimmering bits of glass nestled in his hair. Impulsively, you reached out, flicking the strands.
âOhâ!â You jerked away, your finger cut by an unseen sharp edge that pierced the flesh.
Before the blood even oozed out, Heeseung sprang forward, grabbing your wrist, his gaze wide with horror as he impulsively pulled your finger into his mouth.
An astonished gasp escaped your chest.
Wide-eyed, you watched Heeseung suck around your finger.
At the first drop of your blood against his tongue, Heeseungâs eyes screwed shut, his body heating up, the metallic taste mixed with your skinâs sweetness creating a delicious buzz within his taste buds. Maybe if he drank enough, you'd really become a part of his being; if he fused your blood with his, you'd somehow become his.
He lapped at the drop incessantly, his hand reaching to lock your wrist in place as he covered your finger with saliva.
There was a shift in the air. You felt it in your bones.
As he looked up, meeting your eyes while simultaneously drenching your finger inside his mouth, your body began to heat up. A burn ignited at the centre of your legs, your imagination running wild, your limbs quivering.
Time became meaningless as he revelled in the euphoric bliss. When he noticed you werenât pulling away or flinching, his muscles clenched with want. Instead, your cheeks were redd, eyes fluttering in bashfulness. Warmth in his blood shot lower, pooling within his sensitive region.
A thrum vibrated his own being as Heeseung popped another finger into his mouth, his sucking growing intense, lascivious, and hungrier. Your body jolted as his slick enveloped your digits, his tongue tirelessly flicking and tasting.
You wanted to intervene and stop this madness, but suddenly you couldnât find your voice. Your throat refused to cooperate, and your lips denied any help.
His gaze was trained on your expressions, every blink, every gasp. He wanted to memorise the way your cheeks blushed scarlet and mouth opened in silent gasps. You were so beautiful, so perfect, so his.
âHeeââ you managed to choke out.
Heeseungâs hardness jerked in his pants, his body shaking with want. You had just attempted to say his name.
Suddenly, he pulled his mouth away and yanked you to the floor. You fell against his chest, your feet staggering on the marble floor, a stunned gasp escaping your mouth. He didnât let you process it, his moves sharp and abrupt.
Your jaw dropped as you felt the tent of arousal straining against your abdomen. Your underwear was drenched, muscles taut as the reality dawned upon you. Lee Heeseung wanted you.
âFeel thatâfuckâdo you feel it?â He rasped against your ear, his hardened tone and body making you forget any coherent response, your body tensing up in his embrace. âFuck, youâre so beautifulâstunningâso breathtaking. You make meââ His voice cracked as he felt nestled his nose against your neck, sniffing like a dog.
âMake youâŚâ you pleaded for him to continue, craving his validation.
âMake me patheticâso damn pathetic,â he blurted, his mind elsewhere as he sucked onto your earlobe.
His kisses ran down your neck, and he urgently flicked the hair away to feast. He pressed his lips gently, wanting to savour every moment and worship every inch, but within the first contact, his patience was out the window. He pushed his throbbing body into yours, knocking you against the sink as his mouth opened wide, biting into your flesh.
His mind fell numb as your taste and scent drove him to the brink of euphoria. He found it strange how you turned him into a quivering virgin mess with just this.
Your gasps reverberated in the bathroom walls, your frame quivering.
His touch was desperate, persistent like he was holding onto you for dear life. Fingers interlocked in your strands, body shaking with restrain as his mouth devoured your neck, you felt lost in a sea of pure bliss. You hadnât had many sexual experiences in your life, but whatever make out sessions you had shared with boys in first year didnât live up to this feeling, this hungerâ from him.
âAh!â
Every hair on his body stood alert. Your sounds were so pretty just like your body. He knew he couldnât live without absolutely breaking your resilience. He had to tear through your exterior and drag out the vulnerable girl who moves to his rhythm, sings to his beat and responds to his call.
âHeeseungâAh!â Your body tensed, his name falling from your mouth as his kisses grew frantic, prolonged. You were so flustered that you felt the world knock off its axis. You urgently held onto his tense shoulders, hoping you wouldn't fall over with the intensity of his want.
Had it been any other girl in his arms, anyone, heâd have thrown her on the floor and fulfilled his depraved desires. Heâd have coerced her lust, used and abused her body like a mere object for his release. He wanted to do the same to you like heâd envisioned every night.
But you werenât any girl. You weren't a momentary escape. For the first time in his life, he wanted it both: lust and love. He wanted to ruin you for everyoneâ not just physically but emotionally. He wanted your body and your soul.
And you were the sole reason he unwillingly held back, restrained his desire to rip you apart.
Breathless and flustered, you struggled to gather your thoughts. Your body was begging for him, but you couldnât look past the reality.
This was Lee Heeseung, the hottest playboy, the genius, the most eligible bachelor in Koreaâand most importantly, your brotherâs best friend. You were calling his name so embarrassingly, and you were certain going all the way, heâd have nothing to do with you after tonight. He was like a forbidden fruit, so effortlessly desirable but never yours.
He will never be yours.
Your eyes burned with tears. You had managed to like him so much, and tonight it would crumble apart. Just the way you had ended up running from Jay, you should run from Heeseung before he takes your heart with him.
Determined, you pushed against him. The sudden move knocked him away, his reddened face twisting in confusion and frustration at the distance.
You quickly stumbled to the sink, splashing cold water on your face. Your complexion as red as a cherry, eyes shining, indicating hints of your previous bliss; Heeseung had littered red and purple marks all over your neck, his saliva still warming your flesh.
Behind you, Heeseung appeared, wrapping his arms around your waist. His eyes locked onto your reflection, his gaze darkening as it traced the curve of your neck. The heat between you intensified, his desire becoming evident as he pressed his aching body into yours. His eyes fluttered shut, savouring the sensation of your soft curves against him.
Embarrassingly, your abdomen clenched again.
âTâthis is wrong. Stop,â you babbled, pushing him away, your dejected tone falling on deaf ears as he pressed into you again. âHeeseungââ You turned, using all your force to push him away. He looked up, his eyes clearly unfocused.
The bathroom was getting stuffy now. His unnerving gaze made it hard to breathe. You stepped away, yanking the bathroom door open and rushing out into the bleak room, your breathing unnecessarily heavy. Your body was aching with arousal, wanting to go back into his arms and give yourself up.
Heeseung shot out, grabbing your waist and jerking you into his hold, his heavy breaths lingering against your earlobe. You tried pulling away when suddenly he whipped you around.
With darkness blinding your vision, you couldnât evade him as he yanked you into his chest and slammed his lips into yours.
The taste of cherries overwhelmed your senses, your body liquifying as he immediately plunged his tongue into your mouth, tasting you.
Every instant in his life had brought him to this moment. He knew it when he kissed your mouth, licked your tongue, traced your gumsâhe knew you were meant for him. Your beauty was his to ruin. Your taste was his to devour. Your love was his to take.
A strange sensation flared up in his chest, spreading to his heart. For the first time, all his medical knowledge felt uselessâhe didnât even feel human because even they could identify sensations.
Heeseung cupped your jaw, his lips trembling as he took in all your taste had to offer. His teeth clashed with yours, and his saliva dripped down your chin, his tongue rolling against yours as he poured an overwhelming flood of unnamed emotions into you.
His erection pressed against your lower stomach as he kissed you breathlessly. Suddenly, he was tearing at his buttons, desperate to feel your skin against his.
His kiss felt urgent, charged with arousal. You felt like you would blow into tattered pieces with the intensity of his touch, his deprivation and lust. Your fingers ran through his tousled strands, clenching for semblance of control as he sucked the soul out of you.
Your lungs flared up in discomfort due to the limited oxygen supply. You gasped, pushing at his shoulders with all your strength. Heeseungâs grip didnât falter. Your gasps grew more strained and alarming. Only when you felt tears blurring your vision did Heeseung relent.
Both of you panted like dogs, heaving breaths echoing through the room.
âStop it!â You screamed, pushing him away as you blindly searched for the exit.Â
Yellow lights flickered on, the sudden burst blinding you momentarily. Heeseung stood like a barrier blocking the door, his advantage clear as he seemed to have the room mapped out in his head.
Pupils blown out, he panted, his gaze clouded with the need to ravage and devour you whole. His undone button-down hung the shoulders, revealing honey toned chest and tense abs, descending lower into his pants. Your mouth dried up, but you forced yourself to remain unfeeling.
You voiced out, âLet me goââ
âWhy?â He asked gruffly. His eyes locked onto your trembling orbs, his brows arching in frustration.
âI canât have you?â He whispered.
His words were laced with provocation. He hadnât felt such an urgency to ruin someone, ever. He ached to feel your skin against his. He was hurting to fill you. If you wanted, he would plummet to his knees, stick out his tongue and shamelessly beg, plead.Â
You looked at him with indifference. âYouâre my brotherâsââ
âSo what?â He barked, his abrupt interruption making your breath stutter.
He stepped closer until he had you pressed against the wall, his arms on either side, locking you in place. You hadnât expected him to be this eager. Why did he care? A man like Heeseung could get any woman on earth. One look and theyâd drop their panties to the floor. Your glare grew more acrimonious at the realisation.
You pushed at his chest, your fingers grazing his warm skin, lighting up fireworks in your system. âI refuse to be your one-night fantasy, Heeseung,â you stuttered, unshed tears slipping out.
The fury in his gaze collapsed, his lips parting in stunned horror.
This was your chanceâŚto run free, to protect whateverâs left of your heart. Hastily, you dashed to the door, your grip pulling at the handle when suddenly Heeseung was behind you, enveloping your waist.
You screamed and struggled, your feet kicking the air as he carried you away and tossed you onto the bed. You fought against his manhandling, punching and pushing against him, but he just stared at you like you were a weak feline lashing out.
He let you burst out until your energy had depleted and you fell limp.
âYouâre fucking joking,â he laughed, disbelief coursing through his frame. âOne night fantasy?â He spat, his fists tightening at the audacity of your words.
You stared back, matching his intensity. âIsnât it famously known?" You huffed. âYou donât touch a woman youâve had once,â you snarled, your tone dripping with hostility.
That sent him spiralling. âI donât,â he declared. He watched the spark in your eyes die down, tears running down your cheeks. You attempted to get up, but Heeseung dropped to his knees, his hands scrambling to cup your face.
His heart pounded so hard, that he felt its drumming within his entire being. âYouâre not any woman,â his voice cracked, his throat tightening as he kissed your tears one by one. âYouâre mine."
He hadnât said anything more honest in his entire life.
Yet, you looked at him the sameâawfully sceptical, disbelieving. He had attempted to pour out his heart, claim you as his, but you gazed at him like he was a liar, a deceiver. Heeseung dropped his arms, anger surging within his blood.
âYou donât believe me,â he declared, his tone laced with bitter sarcasm.
You wanted to so badlyâbut you had no reason to. Why would he fall for you?
You watched as Heeseungâs gaze frantically scoured the room.
Something ominous was happening. You felt your stomach twist. You called his name, but he turned away, dashing towards the study table. You stared in confusion as he grabbed his car key.Â
Without any warning, Heeseung struck the sharp edge into his chest, stabbing himself in his sternum. A scream lurched out your throat, your breath stuttering as you attempted to get to him. He forced the key inside, tearing through the flesh in a line. Blood gushed through the wound, but Heeseungâs concentration remained firm.
âWhat the fuckâ stop-stop!â You screeched, finally getting a hold of his arm.
He didnât stop, still working on creating the art piece he wanted you to see. You felt lightheaded as you fought against his determined actions. Unable to knock him back into reality, you decided to fling at the key, letting it slip from his grasp.
Horror ceased your chest. The scarred flesh formed a letterâ your initial. You gazed up at him, your throat constricting as a soul-stirring chill escalated down your spine.
âIf I carve you in my blood, will you believe me?â A pained gaze, a torn heart, a horrifying smile.
Your limbs trembled.
You glanced at the wound, lips parting in silent horror.
This was absurdâ absolute madness. You couldnât wrap your head around it, but you knew it was awfully dangerous like playing with fire or chasing a lion into its den. You should be scaredâ fearing for your life. You should escape right now when you have the chance. You should run and never look back.
There are many shoulds' you encounter in life, but none of them hold any value when something as desirable holds you by the throat. Someone as irresistibly horrifying as Lee Heeseung. Whatever you did next, you knew your fate was sealed. Even if you ran, you couldn't outrun him-- and somewhere in the pool of longing in your depraved heart, you didn't want to. You didn't want to find a way out.
You leaned down and wrapped your lips around his honey peck, swirling your tongue and licking the scarlet oozing from his self-inflicted wound, surprising yourself as you swallowed it down.Â
Life and death stood at a standstill. Had you pushed him away, heâd still have ruined you, broken your soul to pieces and killed himself over hurting you. But you chose to acknowledge, indulge in his pained longing, accepting it like a lover's call, making him want to live moreâ chase moreâ love more.Â
Vision glazed, heart thundering against his chest, he wrapped you in a breathless embrace.
Amid the chaos, a strained voice invaded the room. âHeeâ fuck, weâve got a problem.âÂ
Your head shot towards the door, eyes wide with fear.Â
Fuck.
Your brother was at the door.
A rampant knock. âHeeâ you in there?â Jake's voice spilt into the heated room, your body freezing. Heeseung didn't even spare the door a glance as he pressed himself within your body.
âTheyâve come looking for drugsâ I donât know whoâs called but the police are searching the place.â
Your eyes bulged out of their sockets, jaw-dropping in horror.
Drugs? Police?Â
Instead of concern or a slight hint of fear, Heeseungâs grip tightened on your wrists, and he attacked your lips, invading your mouth. You gasped, caught off guard, your jaw opening in a silent gasp. He swallowed your protests, his hands releasing your wrists to grope your butt-cheeks as he hoisted you up in his arms while sucking on your bottom lip.Â
âBroâ are you seriously fucking someone right now?â Jakeâs incredulous tone made you want to dig a hole and bury yourself inside.
Heeseungâs grip on your buttocks tightened, his groans purposefully filling the room like a silent message for Jake. His knees gave out, knocking you down, your body crashing into the bed as he vigorously unbuckled his jeans. His warm tongue feasted through your mouth, swallowing your complaints, his head lolling into your shoulders as he pressed wet, hasty bites down your neck.Â
Another knock.Â
âFuckâ Heeseung get out here! Theyâve arrested Jongseong.â
You gasped.
What the fuck?
Heeseung paused.
Through glazed vision, he stared down at you. His lips slowly formed a smile that made every hair on your body rise.
Kim Sunoo had really come through, orchestrating a flawless drug raid, planting the evidence in Jongseong's bags and vanishing without a trace. Jay would waste away five years in prison for drug possessionâ barely enough to atone for the pain he gave you, hopefully enough to erase the longing that fucker held for you. Heeseung knew he owed his partner in crime a bottle of Soju next time Sunoo visited their shared farmhouse.
âHeeseung, we shouldââ
Heeseung licked your mouth, holding your trembling body in place, his fingers desperately tugging at your straps. Despite your persistence, he didnât care for anything at the moment. Someone could tell him that the entire house was on fire or that the universe had collided into a meteor, crumbling to bits and pieces, and heâd still ignore it all.
For now, he will spend every second making you hisâuntil his love is conveyed through his hunger, until his touch leaves scars and burns on your soul, until you love him enough to bleed him dry.

PAIRINGS: Jamil Viper x gn!reader (Kalim Al-Asim x gn!reader)
SUMMARY: he always knew you liked strawberries
WORDCOUNT: 400
GENRE: angst
NOTES: I love angst, this might also be slightly ooc(?) Trying to get a better grip of writing him!
main masterlist | scarabia masterlist
Jamil knew you liked strawberries.
The first time he met you was in the Scarabia kitchen, where you were making a strawberry pie. Kalim had tasked him with making a snack that he was craving, which was why he was there. He had seen you at the sorting ceremony beforeâyou were a first year.
You were a kind and calm new addition to his life, one he appreciated. It was nice coming into the kitchen in the mornings and seeing you there, baking something from a new recipe you found online or one you thought of yourself.
Jamil started to notice your little habits whenever he was in the kitchen.
The way you stuck out your tongue when concentrating, the way you always looked so excited whenever something was done, the way you hummed a random tune youâd learned on Magicam when mixing something.
It was something that wouldâve annoyed him if it were anyone else, but it was you. So he didnât mind as much.
He started to appreciate those days when he would enter the kitchen, and youâd greet him with a calm and serene smile. Those moments where you both just did your own thing in peaceful silence.
It was nice.
Jamil knew everything was going to go downhill from here.
He entered the kitchen at the same time he always did. Though he hadnât expected to see Kalim standing next to you with a big grin on his face while you explained the process of making a pie.
He hadnât expected the feeling in his stomachâthe feeling of losing once again. The feeling of despair.
He told himself it was because he preferred the routine, that Kalim had just disturbed it. That was all. But deep down, he knew the truth. He knew he was lying to himself. He preferred it when you were there.
With just him, and no one else.
Jamil always knew you liked strawberries.
So why did it break his heart when you walked down the aisle toward Kalim and not him? Why did it break his heart when he had to stand in the shadows once again, never outshining Kalim?
Why did it break his heart when he got a piece of the wedding cake and it was strawberry-flavored?
Why did it break his heart so?

Goodbye My Love
Pairings: Wanda Maximoff x GN! Stark Reader/ Wanda Maximoff x Jarvis Stark
Warnings: Angst. Violence. Domestic abuse.
Taglist : @natashamaximoff-69 @canvascoloredin @wizardofstories @louxbloom @wandanats-goodgirl @the-ox-fan20 @ladyqueenxoxo @aemilia19 @wandaromamoff69 @mfd-101 @dorabledewdroop @marvelogic @dopeyouth @karsonromanoff @bimad @natleft (if you want to be added to my taglist, please DM me or comment)
Word Count: 4.2k
18+ MINORS DNI
Y/N Stark had always lived in the shadow of their older brother, every accomplishment Y/N had received, he had to outshine them. Although the two of them were polar opposites, Jarvis followed in their fatherâs footsteps and joined the family company while Y/N found themselves going to UCLA on a football scholarship.Although they only missed one person, besides their mom and Morgan.
Wanda Maximoff was their best friend growing up, all the way through high school, she had a short relationship with James before they all graduated while Y/N met Christine when they were in college. Although they never truly loved Christine how she deserved because their heart belonged to someone else. So their romance was short lived and Y/N went through college having one night stands, no strings attached.
But the moment they came home, Wanda greeted them at the airport, hugging them tightly as she told them about all of the things they had missed.
âWhoâs the lucky guy?â They questioned when they noticed the ring on her finger.
âUh, Jarvis.â She spoke unsurely.
âHow did that happen?â They asked her, trying to hide their hurt which Wanda failed to see.
âIt was a couple of years ago, we bumped into each other and we got to talking and everything else is history.â She told them. âWe also live in an apartment in the city.â
âOh.â Was all they could say which caught Wandaâs attention.
âHey, be happy for me.â She told them. âI love him and he has changed.â They just nodded with a tight lipped smile. âHe really has.â Once she noticed they werenât going to say anything, she changed the subject. âWhen will you know who you play for?â She asked them as they smiled.
âWe will find out a couple of months before the season starts.â They told her, a smile on their face which she returned as she held their hand in hers, how they have done it since they were children.
âAre you excited to see everyone again?â She asked as she drove to the Starkâs Mansion.
âI am excited to see my mom and Morgan.â They told her honestly.
âWhat about your dad? Iâm sure he has missed you.â She told them as they shrugged.
âI donât think so.â They told her. âHe never called or even said hello whenever I spoke on the phone with Mom and Morgan.â
âIâm sorry.â She whispered as they shrugged.
âItâs ok.â They told her, a nervous feeling taking over them as they approached home.
âY/N/N!!â Morgan screamed as soon as they stepped out of Wandaâs car, running straight into them at full speed. âI missed you.â She mumbled as she hugged them tightly.
âI missed you more.â They held her for a moment longer before smiling up at their mom. âHi mom.â They greeted her as they gave her a sweet hug.
âCome on, letâs head inside.â She told them softly, Morgan taking Wandaâs hand as she dragged her through the house. âYour father and Jarvis are at work if you want to go see them.â She told them as they shrugged.
âI would rather spend the day here with you girls.â They told her honestly, following her into the kitchen.
âHe has missed you.â Pepper told them as they just scoffed. âHe really has. Your father is a tough man.â
âI know he doesnât care about me mom, you donât have to sugar coat it.â They told her.
âY/N, he loves you.â She told them firmly as they shook their head, a dry chuckle leaving their lips.
âHe tolerates me, thereâs a difference.â They told her. âHe never wanted me to follow my dreams, he never thought I would make it.â
âHe just wants whatâs best for you.â She told them as they gave her a tight smile.
âIâm going to go and spend some time with Morgan and Wanda.â They told her, giving up on the conversation in regards to their relationship with their father.
âHi, can I join you?â Y/N asked the two as Morgan nodded.
âBut you have to wear a crown because we are princesses.â She told them as she handed them a small plastic crown.
âDonât you have one with pink diamonds?â They asked her. âPink brings out my eyes, donât you think Princess Wanda.â
âYes.â Wanda chuckled as Morgan swapped crowns with them. Y/N felt at home, spending time with the most important people in their life.
âEveryone has missed you.â Wanda told them as she led them through the bar, holding hands as she soon led them to all of their friends.
âHere they are!!!â Buckyâs voice boomed as he caught sight of the two. Soon wrapping his arms around Y/N and hugging them.
âWeâve missed you.â Nat told them as she pulled them in for a hug.
âIâve missed you guys.â They beamed as Wanda went to get the two of them something to drink.
âHow was life on the west coast?â Steve asked them as they thanked Wanda for the drink.
âIt was awesome.â They told them everything from the moment they started their first year of college.
âYou see if youâre drafted in a couple of weeks right?â Bucky asked them as they nodded.
âI do.â They rubbed their hands on their bottoms. âI just hope I do get drafted.â
âYou were the best Wide Receiver our high school had ever had, you brought us to the state championships each season.â Steve told them. âWe know very well that you will be picked.â
âYou have always been fast.â Wanda remarked as everyone agreed.
âThank you.â They smiled before they decided to head over to the bar.
âI'll take it, you know.â Nat told them as she stood beside them.
âI do.â They nodded as they thanked the bartender for their drink. Watching as Nat ordered a couple of shots.
âWhy didnât you ever tell her?â She asked them as they shrugged. âY/N, you two would have been the perfect couple.â
âBut we arenât.â They told her. âI never told her because I never wanted to lose her. There was always a chance that my feelings weren't reciprocated and I valued our friendship more than anything else in this world.â They took one of the shots and threw it back. âBut I only want her to be happy. Thatâs all Iâve ever wanted and if thatâs with Jarvis, then so be it.â
âI have to go.â Wanda told them as soon as the two came back. âJarvis just messaged and asked where I was.â
âDid you tell him youâre out with friends?â Nat asked her as Wanda nodded.
âHe said that he needed me home.â Wanda told them before kissing Y/Nâs cheek. âIâll see you soon.â
âSure.â They nodded with a small smile, they watched as Wanda disappeared through the crowd towards the exit.
âI really donât like him.â Bucky mumbled as Y/N nodded with a chuckle.
âI know what you mean.â They agreed, thinking back to their childhood and how he would try his hardest to outshine them at everything, especially when it came to showing interest in the family company.
âWhere were you?â Jarvis questioned as soon as Wanda entered their apartment.
âWith Y/N, Nat, Steve and Bucky.â Wanda told him. âEveryone wanted to celebrate Y/N coming home, so we went to Jamieâs.â
âWanda, you know what I think of that place.â He rubbed his temples as her heart beat out of her chest, her nerves slowly taking over her shakey form. âBesides, itâs only Y/N. It isnât like they matter much.â
âThey are my best friend.â She told him firmly.
âStop living in your childhood.â He told her sternly as he gripped her arms. âYou are 22 years old! You arenât the same teen you were four years ago!â All Wanda could do was nod, sighing as he let go of her arms. âStart dinner. I am famished.â He told her before retreating to their shared room. Releasing a shaky breath before she headed towards the kitchen, she knew that Y/N disliked him for a reason, especially with how he has been with her the past few months. Although, that is something she will never tell anyone, too afraid of what could happen.
Y/N had noticed the past week that Wanda had been distant from them and their friends. So as they were making breakfast, they knew they would visit her.
âThanks.â Tony mumbled as he grabbed a cup of coffee, barely sparing Y/N a second glance.
âIâm going to see Wanda this morning.â They stated as they finished their coffee.
âWhat?â Tony questioned.
âShe is my best friend.â They reminded him.
âShe is Jarvisâs fiancèe.â He pointed out as Y/N nodded.
âI know that, she told me.â They told him firmly.
âI donât want you to ruin this for your brother.â He told them as he stood up, trying to tower over them. âShe is a good woman and I am sure the two would be amazing parents.â
âIâm pretty sure that Wanda isnât thinking of children just yet.â They reminded him as they grabbed their keys. âThey are still young and they arenât even married yet.â With that Y/N left the house, leaving an irritated Pepper to scold him.
âPlease just stop.â Wanda whimpered as Jarvis continued to slap her across the face.
âSeriously Wanda!! Y/N wonât ever give you the life that I will.â He yelled before she kicked him off of her.
âPlease just go.â She sobbed as she scrambled to her feet. Trying to grab anything that would help her overpower him.
âDo you seriously think I wouldnât know what you are hiding from me, from everyone, from yourself?!â He yelled as he started to advance on her again. âI know about your feelings!! I know it very well!!â He raised his hand ready to strike, only to freeze at the sound of a gunshot. The sound made Y/N run towards their apartment, breaking in to find Wanda frozen in place as Jarvis was squirming in pain. They approached her and took the gun from her grasp.
âRun.â They told her firmly. âLeave right now!â They yelled as she soon snapped into reality.
âOh my god.â She whispered as she looked at Jarvis.
âLeave! NOW WANDA!!!â Y/N yelled at her, just as the sirens were getting closer. Wanda left the apartment, running straight for her friends apartment, knocking on it rapidly.
âWanda?â Yelena questioned tiredly as she opened the door.
âIs Nat here?â She asked as Yelena let her inside.
âYeah, sheâs just in the shower.â She answered, grabbing Wanda a blanket to cover herself up and a bottle of water.
âWanda, what happened?â Nat asked as soon as she spotted the brunette sitting on the sofa.
âI shot him.â She whispered as Nat sighed. âI shot Jarvis and Y/N told me to run.â
âWhat?â Yelena questioned as Nat shook her head with a dry chuckle.
âHow could they be so stupid!â She yelled, causing Wanda to flinch. âThis will ruin their future, their chance at playing pro.â
âI donât understand.â Wanda muttered as Nat grabbed her bag and keys.
âWanda, stay here with Yelena. Do not leave this apartment until I say otherwise.â With that Nat left the two of them.
âDo you think Y/N took the fall?â Wanda questioned as Yelena only nodded.
âThey would do anything for you Wanda.â Was all she told the brunette before putting the chain on the door.
âHOW COULD YOU?!â Tony yelled as he sat opposite Y/N who was sitting in handcuffs. âYour own brother!â
âHe hasnât been a brother to me at all!!â Y/N told him, just as angry. âJust as you havenât been a father to me either!!â
âYouâre lucky that I am going to let you rot in here for as long as I can.â He growled as he got in their face. âHe is my son!!â
âYeah, he seems to be your only child, the only one you care about anyway.â They remarked as he was about to hit them.
âMr Stark, I suggest you leave now or I will be putting you in some fancy bracelets too.â Nat told him firmly as she entered the room, escorting him out before she shut the door behind her. âI need you to tell me why you did it.â She said as she grabbed her pen.
âI already told Captain what's her name, everythingâ They told her.
âOh, you broke in to find him hitting his fiancee so you shot him? Not like you could just take him down with sheer force anyway.â She spoke sarcastically. âI want the real story.â
âThat is the real story.â They told her.
âY/N, I am trying to protect you and your future, if you arenât honest with me, I canât protect you.â She tried as they just shook their head.
âThat is the truth, Detective.â They told her.
âOk.â She nodded as she rose to her feet. âCaptain Carter will come and read you your rights.â With that she left the room, finding out more on Jarvisâs condition before heading home.
âAre they ok?â Wanda asked as soon as Nat walked through the door.
âThey are fine.â She told her honestly. âThey are keeping to their story, so there isnât much more that I can do to help.â
âSo?â Yelena questioned as Nat took a seat.
âWell, Jarvis is currently in a coma. The bullet had pierced a lung, so he has had to have extensive surgery to repair the damage, but the chances of him waking before the sentencing is rather slim.â She rubbed her brow. âEspecially since Mr Stark would want it over as fast as possible.â
âWhat if I confess? Tell the truth?â Wanda tried as Nat shook her head.
âThat wonât work. Not now anyway.â She told her. âThe media has already started to leach on the story of sibling rivalry. The press will be sniffing around the hospital, trying to get an update from the doctors or the family. Y/N is already moving to NJ Pen tomorrow morning.â
âSo thereâs nothing.â Yelena stated as Nat sighed.
âNothing.â She told them. âThey already have a weapon and a confession. Unless Jarvis says otherwise, then everyone will know Y/N to be the one who tried to kill their own brother.â
Wanda was beside herself, with Jarvis remaining in a coma and Y/N being in prison for a crime they didnât commit. She hated herself, wondering every night how her life had turned into this.
âAre you ok?â Nat asked her as she entered the kitchen.
âYeah.â Wanda nodded as she stared at the glass of water in her hand.
âTalk to me.â Nat spoke tenderly as Wanda scoffed.
âAbout what? How my fiancè abused me. He would hit me and call me names or that I shot him in fear of losing my own life and my best friend is taking the fall.â She spoke angrily. âI just wish I knew why they took the blame for something I did.â
âThey love you.â Nat told her sincerely. âThey have since high school. I canât exactly tell you the moment they fell in love with you but we could see it whenever they looked at you. They would do anything for you Wanda and it shows.â
âBut.â Wanda tried as her eyes filled with tears. âI never knew.â She whispered shakily as Nat gave her a tender smile.
âThey never wanted you to know, because they thought you would feel the same.â She told her honestly.
âThe draft was last night.â Wanda mentioned. âThey never got picked.â
âWell, the managers would have gotten wind of the shooting and the trial.â Nat spoke honestly. âSo that would have definitely made sure they never made it.â
âI hate this.â Wanda whispered as she rubbed her brow. âI hate how this whole thing has turned out.â
âYou have a visitor.â The guard told Y/N as they kicked them awake.
âWhat?â They grumbled as they stirred.
âVisitor!â The guard yelled as they grabbed them, dragging them through the corridor towards the visiting quarters.
âMom?â Y/N murmured as they saw Pepper sitting at the otherside of the glass, watching as Y/N picked up the phone.
âWhy did you do it?â She questioned as Y/N sighed.
âI already told the police everything, Iâm sure that Tony had already gotten a copy of my statement.â Y/N told her coldly.
âYou know what I mean.â She told them firmly. âI know you didnât do it, I just want to know why you are lying to everyone and putting your future at risk.â
âI canât discuss this with you mom.â They told her sternly.
âJust tell me!â She yelled, gaining the attention of the others. âJarvis could wake and tell the truth.â
âI doubt he would if he finds out that I will be serving time here.â They told her. âHe hated me, he hated me because my dreams strayed away from what the Stark name was famous for.â
âYou know thatâs not true.â Pepper told them.
âYou know what you just said is a lie.â Y/N told her. âNeither Dad or Jarvis attended any of my games to support me. They were too busy with something to do with the company. The only people who thought and believed I would make it pro werenât even blood related.â
âY/N.â Pepper tried as Y/N shook their head.
âJust leave it mom. Donât come back here to visit, it will only hurt you more.â They told her firmly. âBesides, Morgan will need you now, more than ever.â She watched as Y/N was dragged back through the doors towards their cell, her heart breaking at the sight of the aggressiveness the guards were showing towards them.
Jarvis remained in the coma, even after Y/N was sentenced for 20 years imprisonment. Wanda had already returned the ring to Pepper, telling her that she was ending things with Jarvis, of course Pepper had no objections, knowing the kind of man her son grew up to be.
âWanda, you need to eat.â Nat told her as she handed her a PB&J.
âIâm not hungry.â Wanda whispered as she placed the plate on the table.
âLook, I know this is hard right now.â Nat tried as Wanda chuckled lightly.
âYou have no idea!â Wanda spat. âY/N is serving almost a life sentence because of a crime they didnât commit!! They are doing that for me!!.â
âBecause they love you!â Nat shouted. âLook, I understand that this is so freaking hard right now, but they need us all more than ever right now. So if you want more answers, go and visit them!â
With that, Wanda knew exactly what she needed to do. Deciding to make an appointment to visit them, needing to hear the truth from them herself.
When the day came around, she gasped as she saw the cuts and bruises on their face. Picking up the phone as she reached for their face, only to be disappointed by the cold glass.
âWhat happened to you?â She questioned firstly making Y/N chuckle.
âIt looks worse than it is.â They told her, a gentle smile on their face. âHow are you? Nat told me about ending the engagement.â
âI am ok.â Wanda told them. âI am just worried about you and rightfully so.â
âIâm fine, I promise.â They told her as she shook her head. âI know being here is a little rough, but it is better me being here than you.â
âY/N, why did you do it? Take the fall for me?â She asked them.
âIf you had to ask me that, then you donât really know me at all.â They told her.
âI do know, believe me, I do, but I want to hear it from you.â She told them. âI deserve that at least.â
âWanda.â They tried before she cut them off.
âJust tell me! Please!â She pleaded with them, earning a sigh in response.
âI did it for love.â They told her. âBecause I love you and I have always loved you forever.â She watched as they looked down. âI know you wonât ever feel the same and I made peace with that years ago. So please just leave here and donât come back. Move on with your life ok.â
âNo.â She shook her head as Y/N nodded.
âYou deserve to live your life Wanda.â They told her. âPlease just live it and forget about me.â
âNo.â She tried once more, the tears falling as she shook her head.
âYes Wanda.â They told her. âGoodbye my love.â She watched as they walked away, not even sparing her a second glance as they left.
âWhat?â Nat questioned as she picked up a devastated Wanda, listening to her as she tried to explain everything. The next thing Nat decided to do was get onto their lawyer. Wanda listened as best as she could before Nat finished the call. âTheyâve requested for their own visitation rights to be terminated.â She informed Wanda.
âWhat?!â She yelled as Nat nodded, rubbing her forehead. âThey canât do that.â
âThey can Wanda.â Nat told her. âAnd they have done that, we just have to respect their wishes.â
âBut I love them Nat.â Wanda told her. âI do and I canât go 20 years without seeing them or hearing their voice.â
âWe will have to Wanda.â Nat told her. âItâs just 20 years right.â She tried as Wanda sighed. âLook, we canât do anything Wanda, maybe write to them. Maybe they will read your letters but just respect their decision, that is all I am asking of you.â
The first year was extremely hard on her, she struggled to write to them, struggling to find the words to say until she just started to pour out the words that came from her heart.
Dear Y/N,
I know itâs already been a year without seeing you, and believe me, it has been the hardest year of my life and I know I have 19 more to go. I know that sounds incredibly selfish but I get to be selfish right now because the one person who I have always had in my corner regardless doesnât want to see me, and that hurts me so fucking much.
I just need you to know that I miss you every damn day.
Love Wanda
Dear Y/N
I still havenât received any confirmation that you have received my other letters, because I havenât really received anything from you. I got myself a new apartment, in that building we both always admired when we were younger. I know itâs a bit pricey but I have plenty in my savings, and life is short so I may have splurged. I was also promoted at work, you are now looking at the new Head of Trauma at NY Pres. You always said I would make it and I did.
I just hope youâre ok and I want to know that you are safe at least.
Love Wanda
Dear Y/N
Itâs been five years now. I have sent letters every week for five years. I have even tried to move on and I canât. Well, I never really told you the truth, I love you. I am in love with you. I should have told you before but I was scared of losing you. I know that seems funny now because I have lost you. Well, it feels like Iâve lost you because you wonât talk to me.
I have lost the biggest supporter and the love of my life and that hurts. I lost you because of a mistake that I had made and you wonât talk to me, but I guess you have your own reasons for the distance between us.
Love Wanda
Y/N placed the recent letter in the pillowcase with all of the others she had sent, sitting on their bed as they waited for the food call.
âWho is this Wanda chick?â Brock questioned as he jumped down beside his cellmate.
âShe was a friend.â They answered shortly.
âYou have been here for five years and you still havenât told us much about you, other than youâre a Stark.â He smirked as they shrugged.
âThereâs not much to tell.â They murmured as Brock chuckled manically.
âThat doesnât sit well with me.â He sneered as Y/N shrugged. âYou have another fifteen years left here, you have no visitors which tells me that no one really cares whether you live or die.â As soon as the cell opened he pushed past them. âWatch your back, Stark.â Little did he know that that was the last time he would speak to Y/N, the last time he would see them as he lay cold on the floor with a shiv in his neck as a riot took over the cell block.
AN:: There will be a part 2 guys. Thank you all for the likes and the reblogs, it means a lot to me.

-- In Ordo's shadows --
Mereel learned so early that no matter what he does, no matter how hard he works and studies, he will never steps out of Ordo's shadow. And Ordo is not particularly talented in anything, or specialized, and not particularly ambitious.
What makes Ordo special that he is viciously protective and brave and those are the traits that he shares with Kal himself. It's during the war when he actually utilizes the psychological warfare the best that he learned from Kal. Because Ordo keeps learning directly from Kal on the field.
Now what has Mereel? Literally everything else. Even the other Nulls have more specializations than Ordo.
Kal can't do shit with science, and mathematics, and chemistry and all those stuff Mereel is especially talented at. Kal is uneducated. Every skill he learned is literally practical skill on the field, not helping that he is a bit technophobic. So it doesn't matter that Mereel can easely outshine Ordo in these fields (even by Null-standards), Kal can't appreciate the hard work because⌠he can't comprehend it even by regular natborn education standards. He tells them all the time he is proud of them, but also he is constantly tells them that practical skills much more important than the ones they learn from books/flash training... it tells them different message. It's contradicting. Kal maybe hurt Mereel without him realizing.
So Mereel while he never stopped being hard working, he became adrenaline junky. And with it, he is one of the few Nulls who directly disobeys Kal'buirs orders when the situation rewards fits (see the short story: ODDS). Mereel undertakes risky shit to shine, just to gets Kal's attention because he think he will never get it otherwise. He will risk his life, because he thinks he will never get love otherwise. He feel he needs to bring tribute and needs to be useful to get this love.
He knows that not even saving the whole clone-kind will be enough to get him from Ordo's shadows.
Mereel is completely aware that Ordo doesn't get attention because he is better at anything he does. It's because Ordo LACKS. It gives Mereel freedom but also such heartbreak and jealously it tears him apart. It's a contradiction.
Because Mereel won't cripple himself deliberatly to make himself a pitiable creature like Ordo.
Mereel probably hates himself for thinking like this about Ordo who protected them from everything as a child before Kal. He hates himself he wasn't the brave one back then, just the smart one. He hates that something was so fucked up in his brain that he decided, rather Ordo and his other brothers would perish first than him and that defined his relationship with Kal'buir later. He hates himself because he wanted to live so much... and he hates it that Ordo loved them more.
#RepComm: 50 shades of Daddy Issues#the book said they are fine with Ordo being the favorite but... i still felt the tension#character study early in the morning#i adore this broken family#their relationship dynamic#the subtle rivalry between Mereel and Ordo#I feel a lot of jealousy lately and Mereel is just a best guinea pig for that to channel#Mereel Skirata#Ordo Skirata#Kal Skirata#Clan Skirata#null arcs#Nulls with personality disorder#Nulls with BPD#Nulls with ASPD#republic commando#repcomm#star wars#star wars legends#star wars prequels

The boys reaction to finding out the mc in dating someone
Hello! Thank you for sending in an ask!
Apollo:
Apollo's reaction to finding out that the MC is dating someone else would be a whirlwind of emotions. At first, he wouldnât believe itâheâs too delusional to think the MC could actually choose someone over him. Heâd laugh it off, assuming it's a misunderstanding or a joke. But once reality sinks in, Apollo would start to panic.
His initial response would be to smother the MC with affection, trying to outshine their new partner in every possible way. Heâd constantly show up, calling them pet names, giving them hugs, and acting like everything is fine. If the MC doesnât immediately drop the new relationship, Apollo would start to break down emotionally, bursting into tears and pleading with them. Heâd cry, saying things like, "Why would you choose them over me? I love you so much! Canât you see that?"
If that doesnât work, his delusional side would kick into overdrive. Apollo would convince himself that the MC is only dating the other person because theyâre confused or being manipulated. Heâd do anything to "save" them from this false relationship, even if it means intervening directly. Apollo might confront the new partner, either by guilt-tripping them into breaking up with the MC or threatening them in a childish, desperate way.
In his mind, Apollo would still believe the MC loves him, no matter what, and heâd stop at nothing to make sure they realize it too. Heâd likely make grand, dramatic gestures, like publicly declaring his love or trying to sabotage their relationship by creating situations where the MC "needs" him more than their current partner. His emotional volatility would make him a force to be reckoned with, and heâd never truly give up, no matter how far gone the MC seems to be.
Soren:
When Soren finds out that the MC is dating someone else, his initial reaction would likely be a mix of shock and denial. He would probably act like it doesn't bother him at first, putting on his usual sweet and playful demeanor, but internally, he would be fuming. Soren has a tendency to treat those he loves like possessions, so seeing the MC with someone else would trigger his possessive side.
He might "innocently" approach the MC and their new partner, making passive-aggressive comments under the guise of compliments. He might say something like, "Oh look at how cute MY Mc is!" He'd likely cling to the MC more, becoming overly touchy and affectionate in an attempt to assert his dominance.
Behind the scenes, Soren would be plotting ways to make the MC leave their new partner. He might manipulate the MC by crying, acting pitifully, or playing up his innocent charm, making them feel guilty for choosing someone else. If that doesn't work, his darker side would surfaceâhe could resort to sabotaging the relationship, spreading lies, or even threatening the new partner without ever laying a hand on them. In the end, you'll always be Soren's.
Xenos:
Xenos would be devastated if he saw the MC dating someone else. His obsessive nature would take over, and he'd spiral into a jealous fit. At first, he might stalk them more intensely, trying to figure out everything about the new relationshipâwhere they go, what they do together, every little detail. Heâd likely start to sabotage their dates in subtle ways, like "accidentally" breaking something or spreading rumors.
Eventually, his jealousy would boil over into a full tantrum. He might lock himself away, crying and screaming in frustration, before coming up with a more drastic plan. Xenos would want the MC all to himself, and he might even confront the MC in a desperate, emotional state, demanding to know why they chose someone else. He might try to manipulate them by bringing up old memories, telling them how much he knows about them, and even threatening to expose their secrets if they donât leave their new partner.
In the end, Xenos wouldnât be able to accept it, and his obsession could drive him to extreme lengths to win the MC back.
Lynx:
Lynx's reaction to finding out that the MC is dating someone else would be a mix of anger and arrogance. At first, heâd scoff at the idea, not believing for a second that the MC could truly want someone else over him. Heâd likely say something dismissive like, "Oh, them? Youâre kidding, right?"
As the reality sets in, Lynxâs temper would flare. Heâd become openly insulting toward the MCâs new partner, calling them unworthy and belittling everything about them. "That loser? What could they possibly give you that I canât?" His jealousy would be barely concealed, though heâd act like the whole situation is beneath him. He might mock the MC for their "poor choice," saying things like, "I thought you had better taste," all while seething internally.
Lynx would also become more demanding and possessive, ordering the MC around even more than usual, as if to remind them whoâs really in charge. Heâd expect them to drop everything for him, ignoring the fact that theyâre with someone else. If the MC doesnât comply, his arrogance will quickly turn into frustration. He wouldnât hesitate to openly punish the MC with sharp insults or passive-aggressive behavior, making them feel guilty or stupid for even considering someone else.
Despite his outward confidence, Lynx would be deeply insecure underneath it all. He might secretly stew in jealousy, even going so far as to spy on the MC and their new partner to see what theyâre up to. Lynx would never admit it, but heâd be hurt, and his way of dealing with that would be through lashing out. If he ever felt truly threatened by the other person, Lynx might go as far as trying to break them up through manipulation or creating situations where the MC is forced to chooseâsomething heâs convinced heâd win.
Ultimately, Lynx wouldnât accept the situation. Heâd see it as a temporary inconvenience, fully expecting the MC to come crawling back to him because, in his mind, theyâre his and always will be.
Kaine:
Kaineâs reaction to finding out that the MC is dating someone else would be a mix of amusement and subtle malice. At first, heâd play it off like he didnât care, probably flashing his signature grin and teasing the MC with something like, "Oh, so you found yourself a little plaything? How cute." Heâd act like it was a game as if he wasnât really threatened by the new relationship at all.
But beneath that playful exterior, Kaine would be scheming. Heâd find the whole situation thrilling in a twisted way, seeing it as a challenge to bend the MC back to him. He would take every opportunity to flirt with the MC right in front of their new partner, subtly undermining the relationship. Kaine might say things like, "Iâm surprised you settled for someone like them when you know how much fun we could have together," with a wicked smile, daring the MC to react.
As time goes on, his teasing would grow more intense, and if he noticed any signs of fear or hesitation in the MC, heâd pounce on it. Kaine would make it clear that their new partner canât protect them from him, saying things like, "Do they know who youâre really dealing with? I bet theyâd run if they saw what I could do." Heâd start to corner the MC in vulnerable moments, using his charm and intimidation to plant seeds of doubt in their mind about their current relationship.
If Kaineâs playful taunting doesnât shake the MCâs resolve, his darker, sadistic side would come out. He might start scaring the new partner on purpose, giving them a reason to leave the MC. He would enjoy watching the tension build, feeding off the fear or discomfort he causes. In his mind, itâs only a matter of time before the MC realizes that Kaine is the only one who can truly "handle" them, and he wouldnât hesitate to break them down to prove it.
Ultimately, Kaine wouldnât see the other person as a real threatâjust an obstacle heâs going to enjoy removing. He wouldnât mind playing the long game, waiting for the moment when he can claim the MC as his own, and heâd savor every step of the process, knowing heâll get what he wants in the end.
Nox:
Noxâs reaction to the MC dating someone else would be quiet, subdued, but deeply emotional. At first, he wouldnât say or do much, keeping his feelings hidden due to his curse which limits his ability to speak. However, inside, heâd be torn apart by the idea of the MC being with someone else. Rather than confronting the situation head-on, Nox would likely withdraw even further into himself, silently observing from a distance.
He would start avoiding the MC, spending more time alone or in quiet places where he can think. Nox might leave subtle signs of his sadness, like unfinished poems or sketches he would normally give to the MC, now discarded or tucked away. His way of coping would be retreating into his own thoughts, trying to protect himself from the pain of seeing them with someone else.
Noxâs realization that no one, including himself, is good enough for the MC would create a quiet but powerful shift in his behavior. Heâd begin to question whether the person the MC is dating is truly capable of keeping them safe, as he knows he is. In his mind, only he is strong enough to shield them from the dangers lurking around them.
This thought would eat away at Nox, making him even more vigilant. He would start following the MC more closely, always watching from the shadows to ensure their safety. His internal struggleâbetween feeling unworthy and knowing no one else is strong enoughâwould drive him to protect the MC in ways they might not even notice. Nox might quietly intervene if he senses any danger, stepping in at just the right moment, though never asking for recognition or thanks.
At the same time, Nox would feel a growing resentment toward the MC's partner. Though he wouldnât act out aggressively, his thoughts would be consumed with doubt: "Can they really protect you like I can?" He might begin to subtly test their strength or reliability, all the while convincing himself that the MC deserves betterâdeserves him.
In the end, Nox's internal conflict would push him to the brink. His love for the MC would remain pure, but his protectiveness and need to keep them safe could lead him to make more drastic decisions, especially if he starts to feel their partner is putting them in danger.

I love it when characters who were previously incredibly pompous and egotistical realize that the pedestal they've placed themselves on is actually worthless given the current situation they're now in.
Kaiser is realizing now that his idea of what it takes to be on top, to be the best striker is wrong and that it's probably been wrong for a while. And that's really got to suck, because while Kaiser has accomplished a lot of great things, ultimately his goal pales in comparison to the people he now has to go up against. Isagi and the other Blue Locker's aren't just there to rise up the ranks slowly, this is a last man standing program and Kaiser isn't strong enough to stand on his own.
He had become a great player, but he's not the best player. And he needs to be better in order to even have that position of acclaim in the first place. I am reminded of what Isagi taunted him with earlier, calling him a "Naked Emperor/King" which is an obvious reference to the "Emperor's New Clothes".
In that short story, a king orders himself new clothing that outshines everyone else and so the court creates "Invisible Clothing that only he can see" for the King. The king accepts the clothes and "wears" them, and so to him he is wearing the finest cloak imaginable, but to everyone else he is just a naked man making a fool of himself.
In a way, Kaiser ended up being the naked emperor in that he only came to the realization that his past achievements weren't good enough to stay in the team until this very game with Isagi.
I really think that fear of losing everything he worked for was always holding him back from really going above and beyond as well, because while he does have the support of a partner to do passes for him and he's able to read the field accurately, he doesn't take chances that tougher opponents hand him.
His backstory as a thief really puts this into perspective too because thieves wait for the right moment to strike instead of going out into the open to steal. And just like a thief, everything they get is "unearned" because they just take it from other people. In a way, you could almost say Kaiser's position as the best and the king was unearned because he hadn't actually done what needed to be done in order to get to that level.
And that's why I think this makes him so upset when Ness rattles off all of the thing's he's done, because ultimately none of those things will really amount to anything if he can't keep control of this team and be the best among them. It won't matter if he's scored a goal in every match, or if he's gotten offers from top teams, his goal is to be better than everyone and right now some dude from a no name prefecture in Japan is wiping the floor with him, and easily.
You really gotta feel sorry for Ness too, because he thinks of himself as one of Kaiser's "accomplishments" in a way, but Kaiser literally doesn't care about him enough. He just see's Ness as a tool to use, someone who's easily replaceable and loyal like a dog.
My moot (@miyamiwu) made a really good observation about how Ness might just leave Kaiser soon if he doesn't keep playing in that magical way that captured Ness in the first place, and I think that's true now especially since Kaiser himself seems to also realize it. When he's thinking about all of the achievements he could potentially lose if he doesn't win this, Ness is one of them.
"I thought I was becoming human." Is so sad too because I think deep down he really did think that by being close to Ness that he was truly becoming a normal player, that he was on the fast track to achieving his goals. But because he doesn't really know what that goal is anymore, the rug has been pulled from under him now and he has to literally reevaluate what is probably years worth of self reflection.
I also think this chapter is Kaiser ditching the rose as a symbol of his ego because he's truly looking back on things and realizing that the object that really gave him solace wasn't that symbol of the impossible, but the soccer ball itself. He is coming to terms with the fact that without soccer, he doesn't have anything at all, and that it is the only reason he was even able to get this far or have the courage to fight back against his abusive shitty dad.
Instead of the rose tattoo being here, we see there's a new tattoo that's prominent now and it's in the shape of a crown. And rather than being in a place where he's most vulnerable (his neck), the tattoo is on his hand, which I think symbolizes how he is able to take his own freedom and by extension his own place as a king with his own two hands.
Kaiser's solitude is something he really needs to become the best, because if he can't do it alone, than he can't do it at all. He is clinging desperately to the things he has managed to gather throughout these years, including Ness' loyalty and he's so afraid of losing even one of those things that it's making him a worse player.
However, whether or not being totally alone is what he needs to heal as a person is another thing entirely, which is ultimately why I don't think Kaiser will ever beat Isagi and that if he does it'd actually be the worst ending for him. Throughout this entire manga, Kaiser comes off as a really calculated person who's always thinking ten steps ahead, but inside he is just a damaged kid who is using soccer as his one means of coping with the trauma he faced as child.
And that phrasing "I thought I was becoming human" really just makes me feel so sad for Kaiser, because to him if he doesn't have soccer he is less than human and has nothing to give back to the world. He has never allowed himself any time to just be a normal teenager and just make friends in a healthy way, and the one friend he does have might just up and leave if he's not playing in a groundbreaking way. He thinks so lowly of himself that he hinges his entire identity around how other people perceive his abilities in the game, and if he's not the best at the game, he surely can't matter that much as a player, no matter how much Ness tries to placate him with words about how he's "already done enough".
Ego Jinpachi said it as well after Nagi made his really good goal, that some people are content with just being average and "good" instead of being great. And that it's because they're content with where they are in life, that they never advance at all. The idea that they are totally fine in their current position makes them lose the drive they normally would have if they weren't still thinking about trying to get better.
And Blue Lock's philosophy hinges on the player wanting to always get better and better and beat the other players on the field. Being "good" is never enough, hell being "Great" isn't enough at times, you need to be the best forever. You need to make it so that dethroning you is an uphill battle.

pinky promise ?!!
ft ! : xiao , kazuha , ningguang , kaeya , jean
in ! : promises they make, and do they keep them ?
a / n : gender neutral reader as always. trying to set a good schedule and not post too, too much, but if i don't immediately write, i just can't.
fluff or angst, it's a russian roulette đŠˇ
XIAO PROMISES ...
... that he will always be there. he doesn't say it outright, but it's a pledge he holds himself to. be that when you call, or when you silently long for him in your heart, he will do the best he can for you. over the course of his mostly unchanging life, he will definitely keep that promise. your happiness, of course, is a priority to him. that priority comes only second to your safety. as soon as he thinks that you are in danger because of him, he will leave. but even as you move on, he does not, still keeping his promise to watch over you, always.
KAZUHA VOWS ...
... always to come back. long days in ritou are spent thinking about him and his safety at sea, and when he will ever come back. the crux crew sets sail every few months, but each time doesn't get any easier. kissing you one last time before he leaves, he always promises that he'll come back. you believe him, of course. you believe him, until the months he is absent turn into years. waiting at the dock for his arrival, he must have encountered a delay, right? he couldn't have broken his promise to you. he couldn't be... gone ... right?
NINGGUANG COMMITS ...
... to providing you a life of utmost luxury. what is the worth of all her wealth if she cannot provide for the one she loves the most? the tianquan showers you in gifts every day, each one more ravishing than the next. if you protest, she'll simply find ways to slip past your words, offering excuses for her purchases. even as you sigh and make her promise to cut back on the amount she's spending, she's already made the opposite promise to herself! but, she does eventually spend a little bit less on the gifts offered to you. keyword: a little.
KAEYA ASSURES YOU ...
... that you're his star. his shining light guiding you through the night that is his life. there is nothing in life more important than you, he says. he lies. you see him at the bar through the window whenever you pass by, laughing with someone else. you rarely get to see the calvary captain you were once proud to call your lover. now, he spends the days shut in his office, and the nights in the tavern. if what he says is true, and you really are the star in his life, then the traveller is the sun, outshining you in every way single way.
JEAN SWEARS ...
... that she'll take it easy. you're her lover, your words mean the world to her, they aren't just something she'll brush off. if you tell her to lighten her load she will try- albeit begrudgingly. slowly but surely, she learns how to fall back onto others. jean hasn't felt relaxation in a long while, the pressure on her always requiring her to be perfect. but with you, the stress of everything vanishes. supporting her from the sidelines and on the front, you're her everything, there is nothing else she could wish for.

I have to confess in the past, like... 2015-2018, I was one of those one of those fans who was angry at Ford back then, if well... the Book Of Bill helped me to emphatize more with him, I still don't quite like him, but since 2019 I'm not longer angry at him, but at least I understand him more. The DVD's also helped me to somewhat to undrrstand how Ford and Stan work and why they were written the way they are, so... also helped me to finally see them as who they are and in the scheme of things who they are and what they represent. You know, Stan represents the normal in Gravity Falls, whild Ford represents the weird in Gravity Falls. Of course as a show. So it makes sense why Ford by default outshines Stan, because wanting an adventure is something many want, due this we tend to take normal as boring and granted. No wonder why when Stan sacrifices his mind, everything feels wrong. Because, "normal" or "routine", is something we dislike grow up bored, but when we lose it... everybody wants back how things they were. But as soon Stan recovers his memories, the show feels like how it was back at the beginning of the show, like back as it was. Also, I'm glad of knowing that while different, Stan and Ford are similar, like... they love supernatural, but Stan gained a disdain for it, due bad experiences... I wonder if in the Stan O'War II. At times I imagine that Ford reintroduces his brother to the supernatural and stuff?
What do you think?
A lot of the stuff people were angry at Ford were...Ford reacting like a human being to stuff. Including being abused by Bill.
As I've said before, I'm a lot like Ford, so I've always understood where he's coming from. So I've always felt both Ford and Stan's feelings were valid.
It's not Ford's fault he outshone Stan; some people are naturally gifted and it's not fair to ask people to mute their gifts for the sake of someone else.
And more often than not, like in the case of Stan and Ford, different people are good at different things.
That's a really interesting take, and one I haven't seen before!
Stan and Ford are investigating anomalies, so they're definitely encountering the supernatural on the Stan O' War II.
