#but i think that's how it's suppose to feel

I've seen a few different people talk about how they're disappointed in how Odysseus and Athena's reunion went, saying that they don't like how they didn't reconnect and left the bridge burnt because he is now a "monster". I didn't interpret this part this way. I think Athena is still looking for her warrior to train and needed to be told that it couldn't be Odysseus anymore.
I feel like a lot of the epic fandom forgets how old Odysseus is suppose to be at this point because Jorge still looks and sounds like a young man but Odysseus is likely somewhere in his early forties or even getting close to fifty. He has spent the last 20 years of his life fighting and all he wants now is to stay home and grow old with his family. Athena was offering him a chance to help her change the world and help people be better. He isn't telling her no because he's angry at her or the world, he's just tired. He's fought too hard to get home to turn around and go start another fight. She needs to find someone younger, who still has faith that people can be good and has the energy to fight for that belief. (Someone like Telemachus who in the animatic shows every sign of being willing to be that warrior and help Athena). Odysseus even brings up that she's immortal and will have the all the time in the world to make a better place for people to live in but he reminds her that it isn't something his mortal lifespan will allow him to pursue.
He wants her to make the world she believes in and wishes her the best but he cannot be her warrior anymore and I think she accepts that and lets him rest.

THE FAT MAN IN THE RED - LN4
summary : Lando Norris promised two hours of his night to wave to little ballerinas and have them whisper their wishes to him in a Santa costume. His night starts looking up when a woman his age lands on his lap.
listen up : no warnings tbh! suggestive jokes SORRY ITS SO SHORT I WAS GONNA WRITE A LOT BUT ITS ALREADY CHRISTMAS TO HAVE THIS
words : 692
â・â§Ëâ
âOh please! Come meet Santa!â My little sister Mari tugs on my hand. Sheâs in a little pink tutu and a slick back bun, her ballet shoes have been changed into her usual converse.
Weâre at an after party/fundraiser for her ballet show, the kids were all surprised by a man dressed as santa. She was adorable, a tiny Clara!
Mari skips off with her friends as I turn to mine. Kat downs her drink, âI need another one. Too many kids around.â I laugh and clink her already empty champagne glass.
We walk off to the bar, looking up at the giant chandelier and sprawling stairways. This theater is beautiful, kids in costumes and glitter run around while the society of Monaco gossips and laughs in their presence.
We grab more champagne, smoothing out my dark plum dress and almost twisting an ankle with these silver heels my sister begged me to wear.
âY/n!â Mari yells, hopping up and down, in line to meet the big man himself. Or⌠a knock off.
âOh my.â Kat elbows me, âIâd let him slip down my chimney-â I scoff loudly and laugh, hitting her arm.
âWhat about that french boy you met?â I raise a brow, my eyes lingering on the man whose face is partially covered by a white wig and beard.
âOh I see him.â She winks as I giggle, âCome on then, you must meet this cute santa!â I groan as she drags me to the back of the line, âIâve heard whispers⌠heâs twenty six.â She whispers as I watch two F1 drivers walk past us.
âI am not sitting on his lap!â I laugh, shaking my head and sipping my drink, Kat grips my arm and pulls me to the front next to Mari.
âWhat are you asking for?â Mari asks me, clapping her little hands together and tapping her feet.
Her friends touches my dress, âThis is so pretty!â
âI heard heâs famous.â One of the ballerinas behind us says just as I get pushed onto the little stand and an elf guides me.
He looks at me, all dressed up and in a whole fat suit. I canât help but laugh as I get helped onto his lap. I honestly feel horribly awkward, âSorry⌠my friend made me.â
His eyes are green, the kind of striking color that stops your thoughts. He tugs down his fake beard, exposing his face and smile.
A very attractive face and smile. âDonât worry. Are you gonna make me do the voice?â He's got freckles and an accent.
I smile softly, âThereâs a voice?â
âWhat are you asking for this christmas?â He says it in a deep santa like voice.
I laugh, âThatâs good.â
âWhy thank youâŚâ I raise a brow at his trailing off, âI need a name to match the pretty face, and for the address of your gifts, I suppose.â
Oh heâs a flirt. âY/n.â I nod, âYou gonna make me call you santa?â His fingers brush the side of my hip.
âIâm not that into role playingâŚâ He shakes his head and I spot a tiny dark curl by his ear, âOkay the elfâs are about to get mad. What would you like for Christmas, Y/n?â
He says my name, looking me dead in the eye. Shit I think I might be attracted to Santa.
I bite my lip, âHow about, what time Santa gets off?â
His smile shifts into a smirk, âChristmas came early, I guess. Ten.â
He meets me in an empty hallway, Its almost hard to tell if itâs him because of his change in clothes.
He's in a black suit, bowtie and everything. Heâs far more agreeable without the white hair.
In fact, the white is replaced with real curls. Dark curls cut into a nice mullet that suits his face. It was in fact a fat suit that I can now clearly see was horribly fake.
I have a sneaking suspicion that tonight is going to be extra interesting now. His hands go to his pockets, that smile on display again for me. âIâm Lando.â

âreject me not!
in which : when your sudden confession catches blade off guard, his response comes across as a rejection. though he realises his mistake, and tries his best to make things right. (...it gives the whole hq a headache)
slight humor, idiots in love, mutual pining, misunderstanding, you tease him w/o realizing (n he gets back at u hehe), reader is a stellaron hunter, stellaron hunters wingwomen!!!, art by @/kkuekkue on x. reblogs are appreciated! please enjoy <3
wc: 4.2k // hm secret santa? HOHOHO @mikashisus, rayray!! u might pull ur hair out at some parts idk :joy: happy reading n merry christmas my little elf xx
"i think i like you."
the words leave your mouth quicker than your brain can second-guess them.Â
blade freezes mid-step, his back visibly stiffening. when he turns to face you, his sharp, cold eyes betray a fleeting glimmer of surprise, perhaps, or confusion âbut it disappears as quickly as it came.
he stares at you, his eyes widening just slightly, the faintest crack in his carefully maintained composure.
but then, his lips part, and all he gives you is a single, flat response.
"i see."
two short, dismissive words. not a smile, not a frown âjust two clipped words. you tilt your head, expecting some form of elaboration, but instead he just turns on his heel, his coat swishing behind him as he starts to walk away.
(what you donât see is the way his hands curl into fists as he walks off, how his steps falter just around the corner, or the way he presses a hand against his chest to steady the sudden, overwhelming ache blooming there.)
âŚmust this guy really be so blunt?!?!!
you sigh, a little laugh escaping despite your current situation. of all the possible responses you couldâve imagined, âi seeâ definitely wasnât one of them. you shake your head, a part of you wonders if elio is watching, silently laughing at your predicament right now.
itâs fine. really. you shouldâve known better than to think heâd say anything different.
though the big problem now is, blade knows about your silly crush on him, so facing him in the future is going to be a total nightmare that youâre not ready to accept. you can already feel the embarrassment creeping up like itâs going to suffocate you.
âwhere's [name]?âÂ
blade steps into the base. silver wolf, tucked in the corner, engrossed in her console, raises a hand in greeting without looking up. blade nods in acknowledgment, before replying to kafka, "i went ahead of them," his voice sounds a little more strained than usual, before quickly turning to make a beeline for his room.
but kafka, ever perceptive, senses somethingâs off. she tilts her head with a smirk, "bladie, did something happen?"
he denies it with a quick shake of his head before slipping past her. having no other option, she resorts to⌠unconventional methods.Â
with a flick of her wrist and a soft, almost melodic whisper, she purrs, "listen to me.â
the moment those familiar words hit his ears, a wave of calm washes over him, and against his will, he halts mid-step. "now tell me what happened, will you?"
he sighs and he rubs the back of his neck. âtake your time, bladie.â after a long pause he speaks again, "[name] said they... they liked me."
kafka watches him closely, a grin slowly spreading across her face. "and then what happened, hmm?" she teases.
out of the corner of his eyes, he sees silver wolf perk up at his words, but he pays her no mind as his thoughts are too tangled in what heâs about to say next, the words barely scraping past his throat.
...
the next hour consists of him being âlecturedâ by his fellow coworkers.
he tries to tune out the barrage of teasing, but something about âbladie, that's not how you reciprocate,â to âainât no way bro fumbled that badly,â managed to stick with him, unfortunately. (he looks over to firefly standing to the side, but she only giggles and shakes her head at him.)
but really, how was he supposed to tell them that he panicked? that he was so stunned by your confession, so overwhelmed, that he could barely form a coherent sentence? that his awkward, dismissive reply wasnât rejection, but a pathetic attempt to mask his own vulnerability?
the thought of you avoiding him, of thinking he doesnât care, makes his chest ache with a pain he hadn't experienced for the past few centuries.Â
blade makes a mental note to find you as soon as possible. he doesnât know how to explain himself, not entirely; words have never been his strong suit, but somehow, some way, heâll make it up to you.
later, you return to the base, your steps hesitant as you walk in. the moment you enter, the group falls silent, all eyes snapping to you. thereâs an awkward stillness in the air, like they were caught in the middle of something. your gaze sweeps over the room, and it lands on blade. when you lock eyes with him, a flush creeps up your neck, and you quickly avert your gaze.
"excuse me!" you blurt out and almost sprint to your room.
...do they all know?! this has to be the most embarrassing day of your life.
you agreed to meet kafka at a bar near your current mission to discuss your next task. the magenta haired woman had mentioned it casually when youâd asked, cryptic as usual, only revealing that the task was important but leaving out certain key details âsuch as conveniently leaving out the part about blade being there too, of course.
(âbladie,â kafkaâs voice took on a singsong lilt, her playful smile unmistakable as she glanced at him. âyouâre going to use this chance to make it up to them, âkay?âÂ
blade only kept his eyes trained on the entrance, silently waiting for you to arrive.)
running late, your prior mission having dragged on longer than expected, you found yourself hurrying to the bar, weaving through the sparse but lingering foot traffic of the evening.
after what feels like hours, you finally make it to the bar. stepping in, your eyes scan the room for kafka, when suddenly, a man steps right into your path.
the man smiles warmly, though you could tell heâs had a few to drink tonight. his tone is friendly, with just a hint of flirtation as he strikes up a conversation, casually asking if youâd be interested in grabbing a drink sometime.
heâs polite, respectful even, and thereâs nothing about him that feels overly forward or aggressive âjust a man whoâs trying his luck, thatâs all. still, you can't help but feel a slight annoyance at the timing.
as you try to figure out a way to decline his invitation, you remain oblivious to bladeâs gaze âspecifically, how it's fixed on you, or rather, more pointedly on the back of the manâs neck.
âyouâre going to snap his neck if you keep looking at him like that.â kafkaâs voice cuts through the tension, her tone teasing as she watches the exchange from the side.
âi donât like what heâs doing,â blade mutters, his voice low and filled with an edge that suggests far more than just mild annoyance.
kafka chuckles softly to herself, already knowing where this is headed. itâs not an outright confession of jealousy, of course âhe would never admit to something as petty as that, and she knows better than to push him on this one.Â
nevertheless, she still catches it, her lips curling into a knowing smile. even if blade would never call it jealousy, itâs enough to push him into doing something completely out of character âsomething heâll never, ever do (until now).
kafka notices immediately. her eyes widen just a fraction before she sets down her wine glass with a graceful motion, amusement dancing in her eyes. and perhaps to make sure he doesnât look too foolish, she decides to play along and help him act the part.
a sharp clang of glass hitting the table catches your attention. your brows knit in confusion; you glance over instinctively, your eyes meeting kafka's for a brief moment. her expression is unreadable, but the faint curve of her lips makes you wonder whatâs really going on.
curiosity pulls your gaze lower, to the drunk figure slumped over at her table, seemingly drunk, his head resting heavily on his arm. the spilled drink pools on the floor beside him, glinting under the dim light.Â
at first, you only catch a glimpse of dark, tousled hair, streaked faintly with deep crimson at the ends âso strikingly familiar it makes you pause. then, as your eyes trace over the sharp line of his jaw and the stiff set of his shoulders, realisation dawns on you.Â
wait a second.
your jaw nearly drops as you piece it together. the man lying there, seemingly drunk out of his mind, is none other than the last person you would want to see right now.
blade.
your gaze darts between him and the polite man still standing awkwardly in front of you. blade, on the other hand, never lets his guard down, so this... state of his? unprecedented.Â
apologetically, you offer a small smile to the man before rushing to bladeâs side, urgency in every step as you push past the tables, heart hammering in your chest.
bladeâs eyes subtly flicker over to you as you approach, and you can almost sense the slightest shift in his demeanor, the thought of you giving your time to someone else, especially someone so... ineffectual âgrates at him.
he swallows the ugly feeling down his throat. perhaps heâs let this irked him more than it should. but itâs too late to back out now that youâre standing right beside him, the weight of your presence making the tension in his chest only more pronounced.
as if on cue, kafkaâs voice breaks the silence, âas you can see, [name], our dear bladie here has gotten himself a bit... roughed up,â she says, casually catching the wine glass that had been teetering on the edge of the table.
her lips curl into a playful smile as she glances at blade, whose jaw tightens almost imperceptibly. âdrinking doesnât seem to suit him, wouldnât you agree?â kafka continues, her tone light but unmistakably amused. her eyes flicker between the two of you, as if sheâs thoroughly enjoying the situation unraveling before her far more than she should.
you blink, momentarily thrown off by the unexpected scene. your worry only deepens as you shift your attention back to blade, who remains uncharacteristically silent, his head now resting on his arm as though he really had overindulged.Â
âblade,â you say softly, your voice carrying just the slightest edge of concern. âwhat happened?âÂ
before he can answer âor before heâs forced to lie âkafka chuckles, waving a hand as if to dismiss your worry.Â
âoh, nothing serious. he just got a little too carried away with his drink.â she leans back in her chair, a sly glint in her eye that youâre too preoccupied to notice. your gaze falls back to blade, his hair slightly tousled.
without thinking, you reach out, gently brushing a strand strand from his forehead. his eyes flutter open at the contact âthose striking, sharp eyes youâve always found yourself drawn to, dark yet you canât bring yourself to look away from.Â
you notice the faint redness creeping across his cheeks and the line of his jaw, down to his neck. his skin hot to the touch under your fingers. âyouâre warm,â you murmur softly, assuming the alcohol is to blame.
if only you knew the warmth searing through him has nothing to do with alcohol and everything to do with you.Â
âah,â kafka hums, pulling you out of your thoughts. âit seems something urgent has come up that needs my attention.â thereâs an unmistakable glint of mischief in her eyes. âiâll leave you two to it.â
you glance at her, startled. âwait, what aboutâ?â
âdonât worry about it,â she interjects, already getting up from her seat. âthe bill is already on my tab.âÂ
well, that wasnât what you were about to ask anyway!Â
a sly smile curls her lips, and she tilts her head ever so slightly. âhmm, itâs rare to see him like this. [name], youâll take good care of him, wonât you?â her tone is light, but the underlying implication is clear, leaving you flustered as she turns on her heel, striding off, leaving the two of you alone.
blade leans heavily against you, his tall frame making it an awkward challenge to keep him upright as you guide him out of the bar. one arm is slung over your shoulder, while his other hangs haphazardly against his side.
his head is tilted forward, strands of his dark, crimson-tipped hair brushing against your cheek, and you can feel the warmth radiating from him âwhether from his predicament or his proximity, youâre not sure.
you shift your grip, looping an arm around his waist for better support, and his body tenses slightly under your touch. for someone playing the part of drunk so convincingly, heâs strangely aware of your every movement, his hand tightening just faintly on your shoulder when you stumble over a crack in the pavement.
âblade,â you murmur under your breath, trying to shift his weight more evenly as you inch forward. âyouâre not making this very easy, you know.â
casting a glance his way, youâre met with a low, almost lazy hum in response. his expression is nothing short of a hazy indifference, though you swear you catch a flicker of clarity in his eyes âa brief, focused intensity that seems out of place, before he looks away.
you can feel the heat of his breath against your temple as he wavers with every step. the night air is cool, but the warmth radiating from his body is undeniable, pressing against your side in a way that sends an unexpected shiver down your spine. the closeness between you feels almost intimate in a way that will surely have you screaming into your pillow later that night.Â
as you continue down the empty street, bladeâs mind races; this is his chance. he knows it. he should say something now, anything, to make it clear âto tell you how he feels. (and how itâs been eating at him for longer than he cares to admit.)
this is it, the moment heâs been waiting for, but all he can do is breathe in the scent of your skin and the warmth of your touch. the sensation is all too familiar, like the pounding in his chest âbut this time, itâs not from the heat of battle.
just how much longer he has to deal with this utterly insufferable feeling?
itâs worse now, because as you navigate through the halls of the base, heâs beginning to wonder if this is what it means to care for someone âto be vulnerable.Â
âhere,â you say softly as you stop in front of the door to his room.
he doesnât want this moment to end.Â
you glance at him then, finally meeting his eyes, and the look in them knocks the breath from your lungs. theyâre hazy, yes, but there's a sharpness beneath the mask of drunkenness, a quiet intensity that makes your heart beat a little faster.
you clear your throat, breaking the silence. "do you need anything else?"
"no," he answers, almost reluctantly. "iâll be alright."
a twinge of disappointment surges through you. right⌠it was foolish to expect anything different. heâs already rejected you, and you canât help but feel a bit ridiculous for thinking it would be any other way.
you stand there for a moment, the silence between you growing thicker with each passing second, before you force yourself to nod, your voice soft as you try to mask the heaviness in your chest.
âgoodnight then."
just as you turn to leave, you feel a sudden pull on your hand, your wrist tugged back with surprising gentleness.
"wait," blade suddenly says, and this time, there's no mistaking the sincerity in it. "thank you.â
his bandaged hand rests over yours, and a soft breath escapes you; flustered, you open your mouth to respond, ready to brush it off.
"oh! It's no proâ"
but youâre cut off before you can finish. he raises your hand, pressing his lips to the back of your palm in a soft, lingering kiss.
"âblem..."
your voice falters slightly as a rush of warmth spreads through you. every nerve in your body seems to spark awake all at once, making you hyper-aware of the spot from where his lips brushed against your skin. you freeze, your breath caught in your throat, unable to do anything but stand there, your hand still resting in his.
then, as if nothing happened, he steps back into his room and shuts the door behind him, leaving you standing there, still processing the unexpected moment.
safe to say you got little to no sleep that night. you roll over, staring at the ceiling, a soft smile tugging at the corners of your lips. it feels ridiculous, embarrassing even, how many times you've replayed that scene in your head every time you close your eyes.
you couldnât help but smile to yourself like a fool.Â
(âso bladie, howâd it go?â / â...â)Â
you hadnât even planned on leaving the base today, let alone stepping foot into the brightly lit chaos of an arcade, but silver wolf had insisted âno, nagged, until you caved. and somehow sheâd managed to drag blade (of all people) along, her smug grin all too telling as she pushed the two of you together and skipped off to âgo play some gachasâ
now, you stand awkwardly by bladeâs side, the flashing lights casting a colorful glow over his impassive face. itâs hard to ignore how out of place he looks, his dark coat, sunglasses, and the mask covering his lower face a stark contrast to the lively atmosphere.Â
yet, somehow, he doesnât seem to mind the sharp sounds of arcade machines beeping nor the kids screaming in excitement. he just stands there, hands in his pockets, watching you fumble with a stack of game tokens.
âyou look thrilled,â you mutter, a sarcastic tone in your voice as you glance at him. itâs strange, though âthereâs something oddly endearing about the way heâs standing there, the dark lenses of his sunglasses reflecting a faint outline of your own face. you catch yourself staring for just a moment too long, wishing you could see beyond the lens, wishing you could read his eyesâ
you shake the thought off, itâs all just wishful thinking.
behind the shield of his sunglasses, bladeâs eyes tracked your every subtle movement, almost unconsciously. he caught the way your expression softened as you turned toward the claw machine, how your lips curved ever so slightly when your gaze settled on that⌠thing.
it was maddening, how effortlessly you held his focus, how even a trivial moment like this could stir something deep in him. he told himself it was nothing, but the tightening in his chest said otherwise.Â
he wasnât one to indulge in sentiment, yet something about the way you stared at that silly plush made him restless, made him want to do something about it, if only to keep that smile on your face a little longer.
would your smile grow brighter if that plush were in your hands?Â
âletâs go.â
âto whereâŚ?â you asked, glancing back at him, the curiosity evident in your voice.
he didnât answer immediately, but you felt the familiar tug at your hand once again, gentle and insistent, as his gaze slips toward the claw machine where you had been staring earlier.
itâs not hard to imagine the scene as a sweet little moment, with him focused on the claw machine, trying to win you a plush like a doting partner would.Â
with a soft click, the claw tightens around the plush, and before you can react, itâs being lifted out of the pile, swinging toward the prize chute. you can't help but stare as he pulls the soft toy from the machine with a sense of quiet satisfaction.
(you pocket the rest of the tokens. guess he wonât be needing thoseâŚÂ for a first-timer, he sure got lucky âmust be beginners' luck, huh?)
you blink, slightly impressed. âwow, youâre good at this,â you remark, unable to hide the surprise in your voice.Â
without a word, he hands the plushie to you.Â
you tilt your head slightly, a bit unsure. âfor me...?â
âit's yours. take it." he looks to the side; suddenly thankful for the mask âif it weren't for that, you'd surely see the crimson tint creeping up his cheeks right now.
you hesitate for a second longer before reaching out to take it, your fingers brushing against his, a tingle of heat pulses through you, leaving your hand feeling strangely warm.
âth-thank you," you manage to spit out, and your eyes dart away, suddenly very aware of how close he is. surely, this isnât good for your heart!
the twilight sky stretches wide, the clouds are heavy, and youâre looking oh so earnestly at him. his heart beats a little faster, louder now, as if his body knows exactly what he wants but refuses to let him act on it.
but then, he blinks âonce, twice; snapping himself back to reality. he can feel the space between you growing smaller, your presence growing closer.
his eyelids flutter shut instinctively.
and then, the soft press of your lips against his cheek.
a soft sigh escapes him, and his eyes crack open. if you could see his expression right now, you'd catch the vulnerability that flashes in his gaze. he swears he can feel the warmth of your kiss in his very bones.
though not quite the kiss he imagined⌠it was something. (re: you got his hopes up)
the shock of your own actions hits you like a wave. you swallow thickly, âsorry âi'll go find silver wolf.â avoiding his gaze as you fumble with the tokens in your hand. "i⌠iâll pass the extra tokens to her."
without waiting for a response, you turn and hurry off, your pulse pounding in your ears, praying that the ground would swallow you whole.
that night, you lay in bed, the plushie clutched tightly in your arms. the softness of it contrasts sharply with the rush of confusion filling your chest.Â
why was he being so kind to you? after everything, after the way he rejected you just a few days ago, it made no sense. his actions felt contradictory.
you try to push the memory of the kiss out of your mind; impulsive decisions⌠often lead to mortifying outcomes. though when you glanced at him afterward, you couldâve sworn his ears were tinged with red, just peeking out from beneath his hair. nevermind, itâs probably your mind playing tricks on you.
blade, whoâs as cold as the frost-kissed dusk, walks beside you through the lively festival, his dark coat a striking contrast to the vibrant reds and greens around you.
the faint scent of roasted chestnuts and spiced cider fills the air, mingling with the sound of distant carolers. he doesnât say much, but thereâs something about the way his gloved hand brushes yours, intentionally or not âthat makes the chill in the air feel less biting.
you swallow, focusing on the festive stalls ahead, the decorations glittering in the night. âyou don't have to stick around, you know. i can manage by myself.â
his steps slow just slightly, and he turns his head toward you, finally speaking. âyou think iâd just leave you here?â
the words catch you off guard, and you fumble for a response. âi-i just meantââ
ârelax.â he interrupts, a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugging at the corner of his lips; his hand grazing yours again. this time, his fingers linger for a moment longer, almost as if testing the waters, before retreating back into the safety of his pocket.
your cheeks flush, and you pretend to be deeply interested in a nearby stall selling hand-knit scarves. just then, his voice cuts through the festive hum. âlast week⌠when you said you liked me,â he starts, and your breath catches.
you whirl back to face him, your heart pounding. âdonât worry about it! really, iââ
âi wasnât rejecting you,â he says, with an unexpected gentleness in his gaze. âi like you too, [name].â
blade removes his coat, the fabric warm against the cold air as he drapes it around your shoulders, pulling you closer. you stumble, your hand instinctively pressing against his chest to catch your balance.
you look up at him, your breath quickening, as his face draws closer, his eyes locked on yours with that familiar intensity. you let your eyelids flutter shut, lips trembling, heart pounding in your chest as the space between you narrows.
but instead of the kiss you were anticipating, you feel the gentle warmth of his lips brush against your forehead.
your eyes snap open in confusion, only to meet his smirking face. oh... this asshole!
âwhat?" he teases, his tone deceptively casual. âyou seem pretty eager,â his voice drops an octave, hand gently tilting your chin as he leans in just close enough for you to feel his breath against your skin.
you glare up at him, your cheeks flushed with embarrassment. the way your lips quiver, unable to hold his gaze for long; the fact that he actually adores that flustered expression on your face... well, thatâs when he realises. heâs too far gone.
what a dumbass lmfao

Day 3: Reciprocation
Itzy Yeji x male reader smut
words: 6,714 12 Days of Praelmas Masterlist
If there's one thing you've learned dealing with the rich, the famous and the devious, it's that there's always a deal to be made.
-
"Not often that I see a girl like you in a place like this."
"Well, you're an incredibly difficult man to track down."
It's the girl who's supposed to be on the main page of your site starting tomorrow morning. You gesture for Yeji to sit by your side, and while there are more than enough empty seats around you, she prefers to stand. What is this, a fucking power move?
"Well, you could have just called my office and made yourself an appointment."
It doesn't amuse her. She simply brings her hands up to rest on her hips as she looks at you.
"Look, let's get to the point. You can't post the article." There is something rather endearing in watching how she talks to you. Her hips are cocked and her face bears a look of determination, but she lacks confidence. You're not sure she even believes herself. Maybe she's just hoping that you'll cave.
You meet her eyes and hold her gaze for a few moments, searching for a crack in her armour. It's hard to say for certain when the only lighting in this club is what little neon they have on display, but there seems to be something else hiding behind her stare. A nervous energy, perhaps. So, you correct her, "I can post the article."
"Lookâ I, I have money." She takes a single stride towards you, with her long slender legs of which only part of her thigh is covered by the bottom of her dress. That thing clings to them like it does every other inch of her body. One hell of a figure.
"I'm well aware."
"Okay then, how much money will it take for you to drop the article?"
"Money doesn't compare to an article like this oneâyou know that. Come on," you lean forward a bit. "You should be smarter than that."
"How much?!" Yeji says again. There's an edge to her voice now and a stern look in her eyes. She must feel that you're not taking her seriouslyâhonestly, you aren't. You can't count the number of times an agency has tried to block an article by simply throwing money your way. The novelty has worn off.Â
"Listen, Miss Hwang, I appreciate the effort you have gone through to manufacture a meeting with me, however, just like I told your PR team, I'm not for sale. Should you want to avoid this sort of thing, then I'd recommend being a little more discreet the next time you want to fuck around." You glance at the door leading out. The exit sign above is blinking erratically, but it serves its intended purpose nonetheless. "I'll see you in tomorrow morning's news."
"No."
"No?" You raise an eyebrow. She may be a star and she may make people go crazy in more ways than one, but if you've learned something about yourself over the years, it's that you aren't as easily swayed by beauty alone, nor impressed by fame.
Yeji remains silent, her eyes looking down to the table in front of you and your mind instantly starts conjuring up scenarios where the girl goes into a screaming fit or starts throwing a tantrum until security drags her sorry ass out the door.
Her head snaps up again. "Fine." Yeji turns sideways and steps around the small table. It becomes apparent that she plans on sitting by your side, after all. She isn't exactly looking at you as she plops herself onto the cushioned bench. "You said 'next time', right?" She begins quietly.
In spite of yourself, a smile appears on your face when you see the wheels turn inside of Yeji's head. "I don't think I understand."
"Yes, you do," Yeji replies dryly. And with the certainty now back in her voice, it appears you've misjudged her.
When you remain silent for a few moments, Yeji eventually gives in and takes a quick, inconspicuous breath before looking up again. Her face is but inches from your own. "Have sex with me tonight."
It takes effort not to burst into laughter in response to such an absurd offer, and as a result, the amusement is probably pretty damn clear in the tone of your reply. "You're cute."
"I'm serious."
You look the girl in the eyes once more, leaning backwards. "You know how much trouble you could get into for trying something like this, right?"
Yeji's jaw clenches momentarily. "Yeah."
You gaze down along her body again. The skin on her thighs seems smooth and silky; definitely worth a closer inspection, and you would be lying if you said the knowledge of her dirty hook-ups didn't have your mind wondering about all the ways she might be willing to work her body in an attempt to sway you. You wonder if she likes it rough; likes having someone grab hold of those black locks of hers and yank her head back. Likes having a cock slammed down her throat. Your thoughts quickly go into a tailspin which has you imagining Yeji crawling towards you dressed up in nothing but skimpy lingerie, a hungry smile plastered across her face and a yearning desire to find out what sort of mess you could turn her into.
"So," you begin quietly. "I don't release an article about the K-pop star who keeps sneaking out into hotels to get herself fuckedâand in exchange, I get to sleep with the K-pop star who keeps sneaking out into hotels to get herself fucked. Do I have that right?"
You see the embarrassment cross Yeji's features briefly, yet she still manages to bite out her reply with certainty: "Yes."
For some reason, even though she's been found out and forced into making such an absurd deal, she refuses to lower her gaze away from yours, almost daring you to judge her. You've seen her music videos onlineâgoddamnit, everyone hasâand she's sexy as hell. No one would deny that, and she looks stunning in that black dress of hers. It really compliments her figure. Legs go on for days, a toned physique and looking down the front of her dress as she leans into you, a pretty little pair of tits hidden somewhere in there as well.
"I've been propositioned before, you know, but usually that's to get their face on the front page, not off it." You cock your head at her. "How badly do you want this dropped, anyway?"
"What are you trying to say?"
You lean back slowly, deliberately, resting your shoulders against the seat as you feel Yeji's eyes study your every move. Despite the terrible lighting, you can tell she's biting her lip nervously. She's so close that the scent coming off her fills the air around you. It's a pleasant smell. One you wouldn't mind having all over your bed.
"I'll be blunt." Your eyes fall to her chest and you take note of how Yeji squirms under your stare. A tiny smile appears on your lips. "I'd love to fuck you. Hell, anyone in their right mind would love to fuck you. You're a very attractive girl, after all." You nod in her direction. "So, that part will happen if I agree to this deal of yours, however, there's one thing you haven't accounted for."
Yeji meets your stare. Her voice is low, yet resolute. "Which is?"
"You have no idea of whether or not I'm actually going to uphold my end of the bargain."
She pauses in silence and then moves her hand across the table, scooping up your drink and raising it to her full lips. As she knocks back the remainder, the way her slender neck stretches makes you wish you could wrap your hands around it.
The glass hits the table and Yeji licks her lips softly. The sight has you licking your own and for just a second, the both of you simply gaze at each other in silence, almost sizing each other up. Yeji finally shifts closer to you until she's right by your side. Her breasts press up against your shoulder and you feel her warmth on your arm.
One of her delicate hands lands gently in your lap and slides upwards onto your thigh where she starts to draw small circles with her fingertips. You wonder if she notices the slight hitch in your breath as she touches you. "We can go to your office. Sign a document. Legally binding. Non-disclosure. And agree to write a favourable piece about me. You can send out the request to your best columnist there and then. And then you can take me right there." Her words come out in soft whispers and her eyes dart over your face, trying to read your reaction.
Yeji is young and beautiful and she's clearly horny enough to get herself into this kind of mess. It doesn't come as too much of a surprise to you, then, when you feel a delicate fingertip trace over your crotch. "Take you?"
"On your desk. Over your desk," she elaborates shamelessly and with a hint of cheek in her voice. There's a smug expression on her face. She's enjoying herself but also relieved to be getting through to you. "However you want me."
"So, it's an exchange? A dirty deal done in the darkness?"
Yeji smirks. "I prefer to call it reciprocation."
-
Friday night in the office and it still has the passive hum of life, though not much of it. Cutting through the air is the loud clack of Yeji's high heels as she follows you silently past empty room after empty room. The interns putting in the long hours are all on the lower floors, giving you just enough discretion.
You glance back briefly at her before rounding the corner. Just like you had imagined, she seems rather timid now. Head held slightly down and glancing around the place, almost like she's embarrassed to be here with you.
Finally, you reach your private office near the far wall of the floor and wave Yeji inside. As you step up to your desk and turn, Yeji closes the door behind herself and watches you intently. The soft light in here gives you a much better opportunity to appreciate her.
"Come." You gesture her over while simultaneously logging into your PC.
It only takes a few simple clicks to bring up a basic confidentiality agreement which you proceed to edit. "As requested," you begin. "This agreement prohibits me from writing anything related to your numerous encounters with nameless men and women in various hotels throughout Seoul. Failure to abide by these terms enables you to take legal action against me and my firm to any extent deemed necessary."
She places her palms on the desk as you turn the monitor to show her. She reads it. You read here. Leaning forward has the front of her dress hang open a bit further. It's the first glance you get of her red bra underneath and the swell of her chest, just big enough for handfuls. She sees your wandering eyes, yet continues to scan the terms of the contract. It makes you curious if the idea of being looked at like some cheap slut turns her on. Maybe you should try referring to her as such. Would she object? Or encourage?
Yeji nods in approval and you click 'print'. She looks past you, watching it emerge from the machine.
"That's all we need," you say, never looking away from her. There's something mesmerising about her eyes. They're large, they're dark and they tend to draw you in. "Now I can't expose your whorish tendencies."
She looks offended momentarily. "Whorish?"
"Two months. Forty-two hotel visits were recorded. Thirty-five different partners." The chair rolls away as you push it back and stand up, towering over her frame. "Yes, you're fucking whorish, Yeji. Our research was thorough."
"I'm just having fun." She stops leaning on the desk. You both take a step in unison, beginning to round the desk while staring each other down. The moment feels tense. "There's nothing wrong with that."
"Oh, I agree completely."
Another step. Another inch towards each other.
"There's no shame in being a bit of a slut. An incredibly beautiful slut."
A third.
You're face to face. Those heels make her almost as tall as you, and you glance at Yeji's lips as the tip of her tongue suddenly darts out over them. The only sound between the two of you is your shared breathing. Yeji tilts her head back slightly and gazes into your eyes, waiting expectantly for you to act upon your desire. Waiting for you to throw her onto the desk and fuck the living shit out of her, just as she asked for.
You wait.
Her lower lip disappears beneath the bite of her teeth.
Wait.
A sudden flush rises up onto Yeji's cheeks, undoubtedly born from her frustration, but you don't miss the excitement hiding within it either. Then, Yeji takes another step forward, one which has you taking hold of her waist, pushing yourself hard up against her body.
Almost instantly, the pair of you go from hesitant to frantic, moving without a single word being spoken between either of you.
Your mouths meet in an open-mouthed kiss of heat, passion and impatience. There's a gasp coming from somewhere, a mixture of a moan as the two of you collide. It takes more willpower than expected not to shove your tongue down Yeji's throat as you feel hers slide against yours in an instant. Fingernails dig into your neck; not hard enough to leave marks, yet not soft enough to be mistaken as anything else than a woman showing what she wants. It's exactly what you wanted to do when you first saw her tonight.
She bites on your lip, sucks on it and goes straight back in. You grab hold of her tightly and shuffle her backwards towards the desk. You can barely restrain yourself. A groan rises up in the depths of your stomach when Yeji parts her legs slightly, welcoming your body in between them.
Every part of you tells you to bend her over and start hammering yourself into her, yet there's still one last detail you must attend to. You break free of Yeji's grasp and shove her roughly down onto your desk.
Her hair fans out around her head and her gaze looks darker somehow, more lustrous under this light. You follow her shape, down, over the bumps of her breasts, the dip of her waist, the curve of her hips and then to the hem of her dress, where bare thigh begins again. She shudders under the weight of your stare. Legs falling apart, invitingly.
You feel Yeji tremble under your tender touch as you run your hand up the outside of her thigh and push up the fabric of her dress. The tips of your fingers bump along the rim of her underwear before reaching her hip where you trace shapes absentmindedly. She's smooth and silky everywhere.
"What is it?" Yeji asks breathlessly when you don't move for a few moments. Your attention remains firmly locked on that final detail. The thin lace material covering her cunt.
You look her dead in the eyes and curl your fingers around it. "Just wondering how many different people have had you like this."
The red lace is pulled aside. Yeji stares at you, seemingly taken aback by your bluntness as you lean down a little further and angle her leg to the side, letting cool air hit every inch of her bare sex. And it's a lovely sight, all things considered. Neat, trimmed and glistening wet. Your hand moves across her thigh to hold her in place. "Usually I'm on top," Yeji replies, finally regaining her confidence.
"You'd rather be riding me, huh?"
"Yes." Yeji's answer comes immediately. Your cock is stiffening already at the mere thought of having her small body bouncing in your lap as she rides your length like a bitch in heat.
She runs her own hands up her slender frame, feeling up the sides of her own waist, skirting around those perky tits and letting out the smallest whimper of anticipation as she caresses the side of her neck. Her eyelashes flutter with desire. It seems the girl enjoys being admired just as much as you enjoy admiring.
"Don't worry, you'll get to ride it soon enough." Slowly, you drag your middle finger up between her folds, making sure you put enough pressure down against the sweet little bud of nerves to make her arch her back at the sensation. A deep inhale catches itself in the back of Yeji's throat when you sink your fingertip inside of her, only for it to turn into a disappointed sigh when you withdraw.
She bites her lip in embarrassment, no doubt mortified that she couldn't keep quiet at such a simple action, although that doesn't stop you from repeating the movement, applying more pressure and then sinking further into her. This time you withdraw and then taste your finger curiously. If the sweet scent wafting off her wasn't enough indication, she tastes as good as she looks.
"How are you so wet already?" you ask. "All from thinking about getting railed over my desk, hmm?" You ask teasingly, lowering your mouth down closer to her pussy and holding your breath for a moment. You can feel the warmth coming off her.
"It's exciting."
"What, fucking a stranger?"
"Yes," Yeji says bluntly. She wets her lips. "There's nothing quite like giving yourself up to someone completely random."
Your hand slides down her calf and gently pulls off her heel. As soon as it hits the ground, it's replaced with a slow and tender kiss on the inside of her ankle. The skin is just as smooth and supple as the rest of her. From here you have a much better view of how her delicate little flower pulses in longing.
Your head dips and you suck hard on Yeji's inner thigh. You delight in the surprised yelp leaving her mouth as you rake your teeth over her soft skin, pulling at it before letting go. It leaves behind a lovely purple bruise which you blow cold air over, soothing the irritated skin. It makes you smile, knowing that mark will remain for a week, to be seen by whoever she fucks next.
"Do you get excited thinking about having me join the list of cocks pounding away at you?"
Without allowing Yeji time to think, your tongue finds her clit and starts drawing shapes around it. "Yes!" You hear her hiss. Your left arm reaches under her thigh and keeps her pinned down to the table while your right does the same, only giving your tongue freedom to dance over her wet cunt.
You sample her thoroughly, getting her used to the feeling of your warm tongue running over every part of her. You apply more pressure to your work once you notice Yeji bucking her hips upwards to grind against your mouth.
"Oh shit." Yeji is panting heavily now, gasping for breath whenever you pay special attention to her clit. Her thighs quiver every so often, tensing around your head. "Don'tâdon't stop."
Yeji has the nicest legs you've ever laid eyes on. The way they wrap tightly around your head, squeezing the air out of you when you suck down on her swollen clit, it feels heavenly.
Suddenly, Yeji's hips thrust forward, throwing your rhythm off momentarily.
"Mmm, ohâfuck," she whimpers as you feel her body shake and quiver underneath your touch. Your pace doesn't slacken even once throughout.
"Fuck," Yeji whines louder this time. "Fuck, I'm gonna cum."
Already?
You put more pressure on her hips, keeping them pinned down as best as possible, whilst your tongue attacks her with fervent desperation, spurred on by Yeji's declaration. As the seconds pass by, Yeji becomes more vocal, though not with her wordsâwith her actions. Her breathing picks up noticeably. Soon it becomes short and ragged. Her chest heaves. Her fingers claw into the surface below her. Her spine curves beautifully and her lips hang open wide, allowing loud cries to escape her.
She practically sings out for you as her nails scratch at your desk, looking for something to hold on to, something to ground her. Her whole body tenses up for several moments.
Then it happens.
Her mouth opens up wide yet no sound comes out, her back arches almost unnaturally and her juices coat your chin. The silence hangs in the air, heavy, palpable as her walls contract in ecstasy. Then it's finally broken with a loud snap. One of her fake nails pops off and flies across the room as she grips too hard on the edge of the desk.
Then she moans. Guttural, wanton, unrestrained, absolutely filthy. It fills the room, reverberating back to you in a delicious chorus of hedonism and pleasure. She lies there limp with her eyes shut. Her mouth open. Panting heavily. Basking in the glow.
"So easily?" you ask quietly. Yeji takes a deep breath, trying to steady her heart rate. Your hands leave her hips, caressing her trembling flesh, sliding upwards, running up her dress and over the curve of her waist until you reach her shoulders. You tug the straps down the length of her arms and lean closer, pushing the soft material down to reveal the top of her matching red lingerie. Your hand cups the back of her head. She instinctively knows to lift it.
You lower your lips down to her collarbone as you reach behind her to unzip her dress. The sensation of your kisses against her neck draws another moan out of Yeji. A quiet one this time, however. Gentle. Contended.
You kiss upwards, planting several against the underside of her jaw and the corners of her lips. "I can't stop myself," she whispers, opening her eyes just in time for you to press your lips against hers, tasting the lingering sweetness in your mouth. She smiles.
"Let's get you out of that dress," you say and she nods in agreement. "Up," you order softly and Yeji complies, lifting herself high enough for you to pull the material down her waist and over the length of her thighs. It falls to the ground in a heap at her feet. All that remains is the expensive-looking red underwear set she chose for this occasion.
The two of you exchange looks. She bites her lip. She can see the burning lust raging within your eyes. You don't care if it gives the game away.
There's an absolutely wicked smile that draws across her lips as you start to unbutton your shirt. Her voice is all sultry seduction when she says, "I've been meaning to ask you, are you always swayed so easily?"
"Honestly? Not really," you respond calmly, watching how her eyes eagerly take in your torso as you shrug off your clothing. "Maybe there is something about you that's just..." you trail off, unsure of how to end the sentence.
Yeji sits up on the edge of the desk and throws her arms around your neck, dragging you in closer so that your bodies connect. You feel her lips press against your chest in soft kisses. A finger trails over your abdomen, drawing patterns over your skin before moving downwards. "Yes?"
"Different." Your belt is quickly undone and dropped alongside her dress. Nimble fingers begin unbuttoning your trousers. You run your hands through her hair, appreciating how silky it feels running through your fingers.
Yeji has her gaze focused between your bodies, on her hands as they push your jeans down to the floor and you notice the change in her breathing the moment she wraps her hand around your cock.
She kisses her way up to your neck where her lips tickle your skin as she mumbles: "In a good way?"
Yeji presses the flat of her palm against the base of your erection, rubbing slowly. Your head tilts backwards slightly and you allow yourself a low groan. There's a warm puff of air as she giggles quietly against your neck.
"In a great way," you answer.
"Good," she purrs, suddenly tightening her grip on you and giving you several deliberate strokes. You watch intently as Yeji runs her thumb over the tip of your dick, circling it a few times before continuing with her motions. She leans closer, wrapping her legs around your body and placing her mouth by your ear. "I know what I said earlier about loving to ride a cock and all that," her voice is filled with lust. Pure, unbridled desire. "But honestly? I'd do just about anything right now to have you fuck me against this desk."
And that does it for you.
All semblance of control vanishes entirely in a heartbeat.
You drag her from her perch, only to turn her around and push her right back against the desk. Yeji bends over the edge and places both her palms flat atop it. You watch her toned legs move apart as she spreads them invitingly. Your hand reaches out to rest on her ass.
Soft. Round. Supple. Just begging to be fucked. Your dick rests comfortably between her cheeks, which are covered by the flimsiest piece of lace you've ever seen. The pair of you groan together in anticipation at the sensation of feeling each other so intimately. The anticipation of what is soon to come.
"You want me to fuck you, huh?" you ask.
Yeji turns her head to look at you, dark strands of black hair hanging before her beautiful, desperate eyes. "Please."
She waits expectantly as you move back just enough to hook your fingers into her underwear and pull them down slowly, revealing the pretty little cunt you had tasted earlier. The desk is ever so slightly too tall for her, and her long legs stretch to rest on her tiptoes.
You run your hand down between Yeji's pert cheeks, delighting in the gasp of relief leaving her mouth as you cup her heat. Your fingers slip through her slick, coating themselves with her natural arousal before one sinks inside effortlessly. You push it deep, drawing a content sigh from her lips as your digit bottoms out.
A second follows shortly after and she clenches hard around the pair of them.
"Your cock," Yeji demands. You curl your fingers inside of her, delighted by how she struggles to speak when you graze her weak spots. "Want it..."
"But this is fun," you state simply, continuing to explore every inch of her, learning which places cause the biggest reactions and relishing in her quiet hums of satisfaction every time you stimulate them. You'd be lying if you said it didn't make your cock pulse with the need to be inside her. That warm wetness wrapped snugly around your fingers would feel downright amazing around you.
Yeji wriggles her body, pressing her ass against you and whimpering as your digits push inside again. "Please... your cock." Your eyes drop from the beauty bent over in front of you and focus instead on the sight of your fingers disappearing repeatedly between those gorgeous legs. How her muscles clench and her toes curl against the carpet with each and every motion of your digits inside her. She looks ready. She feels ready.
"Well, seeing as you're asking so nicelyâ"
You slip your fingers out. The whine of loss from Yeji barely has time to fade as you grab hold of her ass with both hands, spread it out, line yourself up with her cunt and sink inside without hesitation. Fuck it. Why go slow?
"Oh god," Yeji moans as your hips meet. Her knuckles turn white as she claws at the surface of the desk in an effort to cope with the feeling of fullness that she's clearly experiencing right now. Her eyes widen and she bites hard into the back of her lip as her cunt stretches around you, accommodating you perfectly. She exhales deeply.
It's all worth itâthe workplace compromise. This moment right here where your thick cock rests deep inside of Hwang Yeji's warm, wet cunt. Finally. And holy fucking hellâit's everything you could've ever asked for.
"I knew you'd feel so fucking good," you murmur, trailing your hands up Yeji's slender figure, feeling her back tense slightly when she lets out a small moan of agreement. Your fingers tangle into her long hair, wrap it around your fist, give a harsh tug to pull her head backwards, earning a sharp intake of airâand then you start rutting your hips into hers. Long, forceful strokes fill the air with repeated claps of skin slapping against skin.
The choked moans which tumble from Yeji's lips are music to your ears, encouraging you to keep her pinned down against your desk with a strong hand on the small of her back. Your fingertips press into her flawless skin hard enough to bruise, yet neither of you caresânot when there are far more important matters to attend to. Namely, pounding Yeji's brains out and filling her tight little pussy with ropes of hot cum.
So, you pick up your pace, quickening the tempo and making sure each thrust of your hips goes harder than the previous. Her mouth hangs open in a silent scream with each movement of your body against hers. Every slap of your hips against her ass elicits a reaction.
You're already addicted to her. Everything about Yeji makes you want to hold nothing back, and as you pull yourself out only to slam back inside her depths, you can't help but notice the absolute debauchery dripping from her words when she begs: "Harder. Fuck me harder."
And who are you to refuse her request? She looks incredible anyway, but seeing her eyes screw shut in bliss while a strand of saliva escapes past her open mouth? Nothing would convince you to let up now.
The constant clatter of objects rattling and shifting across the surface of your desk adds a nice soundtrack to the experience. So do the increasingly frequent moans spilling freely from Yeji's lips, each one higher-pitched than the last. They spur you on. Give you the incentive to chase after her pleasure.
And then you feel the telltale clamping down of her walls around you. Your cock is held tightly in her warmth, refusing to relinquish its grasp on you until you've filled her with cum. Until you've pumped your load deep inside of her wanting cunt. You know it's coming and you adjust accordingly. Forcing yourself to maintain rhythm as you pound her pussy into submission.
You yank on her hair and tug her upwards, forcing her back to crash against your torso. You bring your other hand to her chest, sliding beneath the fabric of her bra to cup at her tit. Her hands desperately search for but fail to find, purchase on the desk. She's helplessly suspended between your grasp and your cock as she cums. Helpless to do anything except take it. Take what she's given.
An indecent series of shrieks and wails erupts from somewhere deep within her chest as Yeji's body seizes up and convulses violently against yours. It sets you off. You bury yourself hilt-deep inside of her and explode. Your vision goes blurry, your toes curl, your jaw clenches shut and your teeth grind painfully together.
It takes everything within you not to collapse forwards on top of the girl you're filling to the brim, instead relying solely on the strength of your grip to stay upright as your cock jerks erratically inside of her, pulsating again and again, releasing stream after stream of creamy spunk deep into her.
As soon as the world stops spinning and the fog starts clearing from your mind, you're met with the sight of Hwang Yeji trying desperately to regain any semblance of control over her own body as well. She's slumped atop your desk, panting heavily, her body twitching occasionally.
You lean down, peppering a gentle trail of kisses down the side of her neck, stopping briefly at the space just below her ear where you whisper, "You look stunning like this."
It takes Yeji several seconds before she manages a reply. She eventually opens her eyes halfway and gives you an exhausted smile. "Like what?"
"Sweaty. Thoroughly used. Filled to the fucking brim."
Your comment draws a faint giggle from her which ends abruptly the moment you drag yourself backwards, slipping your softening cock out of her cunt along with the rush of semen that spills from her and trickles onto your desk.
"Oh god," Yeji mutters as the mess slips from between her legs. She pushes herself up from her prone position and lifts herself off your table, leaving behind a lovely sticky patch where her crotch had rested. You stumble towards your chair and plop down on it, resting your back against the cool leather whilst admiring Yeji's flushed features.
"I still haven't gotten to ride your cock yet."
"I don't know if Iâ"
Yeji drops to her knees in front of you and grabs the base of your shaft without a second thought, squeezing it lightly and causing it to stiffen slightly. "Well I do," she declares.
She leans closer.
You catch sight of your reflection in her dark brown eyes just before Yeji extends her tongue, running it carefully over the sensitive skin of your cock before planting a wet kiss against the tip. Then she does it again. And again. The movements become a pattern until, suddenly, you're enveloped by the heat of Yeji's mouth.
"Ah," you gasp as she takes you. So sensitive to the touch of her tongue as it swirls around you. She hums approvingly at your reaction and slides deeper, taking your semi-erect cock further into her mouth as she continues to suck you off. Her head bobs slowly up and down, gradually coaxing you back to life until she slips you out from between her lips with a pop.
"That got you hard fast enough." Yeji grins. She stands up straight, and then your jaw falls open slightly at the sight of Yeji reaching behind her back to unclasp her bra. It falls to the ground in slow motion. Delicate pale skin stretches beautifully over perky breasts topped with cute pink nipples. God damn.
Yeji straddles your lap, trapping your body underneath hers. It doesn't take much to push you inside. To have her slide down the length of your shaft once again. She sits still for a few seconds, grinding her hips subtly against yours whilst biting on her lower lip. "Fuck, this feels good." She rotates her hips in little circles. "Feel that? I'm still full of your cum."
The pace is slower now. You're content to sit back, listen to the sounds of wet, sloppy sex filling the office air, and watch how her beautiful features contort with pleasure when your cock scrapes against a weak spot. There's something incredibly arousing about having such a famous idol sitting in your lap, fucking herself silly on your dick alone. She uses it like a toy to chase after her own pleasure.
One of her hands laces itself into your hair, tugging on it harshly. You retaliate with equal ferocity by sinking your fingers into Yeji's plump ass. It earns you a wonderful hiss of approval which comes accompanied by a tight squeeze around your shaft as her free hand moves down between your bodies and furiously rubs at her clit.
It's not long before you realise that she's close, and judging by her frantic behaviour, you figure she isn't looking to make it last longer.
Yeji whimpers cutely. Her head falls backwards, exposing her perfect neck. An expanse of unblemished, untouched skin that simply demands to be marked. Claimed. Taken.
And so you lean forwards, place your mouth on the soft skin and start sucking on it, nipping at the supple flesh. You feel her tighten around you instantly.
"Oh god!" She cries out. Yeji tries to bounce in your lap but fails miserably. She's no longer in control of her body. All she can do is quiver, cry out, and gasp in ecstasy as another orgasm surges through her. It's nowhere near as powerful as the previous two. Instead, it's drawn out. Lasting longer and keeping her moaning throughout.
When it's over and done with, you release your hold on her neck. In return, her exhausted head comes to rest against your shoulder. Her hot pants hit your cheek as she lay there limply against your frame.
"Too much?" you tease and Yeji scoffs. You give her a gentle spank and ask, "That's all you've got?"
"Just catching my breath."
She puts action to word immediately and picks herself back up. There's a determination etched all over her face as she brings both arms to rest on your shoulders, locking you in place and supporting herself on top of you. The expression she wears leaves little room for misinterpretation; this one is yours.
Yeji begins riding you again. Slowly at first, letting herself grow accustomed to the sensation of being filled again. Then faster. Harder. Using your cock to fuck herself on. Taking charge once more. You happily allow her to have it. Glad to let the beautiful starlet do whatever the fuck she wants with your body. Relishing the fact that you're balls-deep inside of her and she loves every inch of you.
"I need it," Yeji whines, slamming herself down on top of you again and again, her soft ass smacking against your thighs repeatedly. Her hair billows wildly around her, sticking to her sweaty skin, flying every which way without rhyme or reason, driven mad by her insatiable desire to keep on going. She keeps saying things under her breath, nonsensical at best, unintelligible at worst.
But her efforts get results. As much as you want to prolong the moment forever, your body can only handle so much. Pleasure courses through your veins like electricity, setting alight every nerve ending within your body until finally, you feel that familiar heat rise from somewhere deep within.
Yeji must sense it because she suddenly kicks it up yet another notch, crying out incoherently as she drops down on your shaft once more, twice moreâa third time sends you toppling over the edge. You grip her hips tight, digging your fingertips deep into her flesh as your cock pulses powerfully inside of her cunt, painting her walls white.
She drags it out. Uses gravity to force you as deep inside as possible, allowing every single drop to spill inside of her again. Your eyes roll into the back of your skull as you grunt loudly. Any coherent thought becomes impossible as you cum.
Once more, it takes several moments before you come back down from the clouds. When reality sets in again, Yeji is still straddled atop your lap, watching you with an amused grin stretching from ear to ear. You're left with nothing else to do except admire how her flushed cheeks accentuate her gorgeous features even further.
"I know. I know," she says while stroking your cheek. "I'm amazing."
"You're trouble," you correct breathlessly.
She rolls her eyes at your choice of words and then glances downwards. You follow her gaze just in time to see her raise herself off your spent member, allowing several thick strands of cum to dribble from her cunt and onto your leg. You both share a brief laugh at how filthy it looks before Yeji clambers off you and steps away, leaving you completely bare whilst she reaches down to retrieve her panties.
"No," you blurt out immediately. Your interjection catches her attention and she halts mid-motion, quirking an eyebrow curiously.
"No?"
"You can leave them."
She gives you a knowing look but acquiesces anyway, stepping aside and grabbing her dress instead. "Disgusting," she winks with a coy smirk.

a/n: a generalized version of another secret santa entry !! iâm glad you liked my gift @lumiambrose <3
Spain's beaches are always a sight to behold, no matter the time of day.
The sun has long disappeared into the horizon, the sky now pitch black with only the night lights from the festivities a few metres away illuminating the area. The balcony youâre currently lounging on is two-storey high, the sound of joyful chatters and laughter filling your ears as a cool draught of air softly whips over the tresses of your hair.
Leaning against the railing as your eyes remain locked on the waves gently lapping up the shore, you tuck a loose strand behind your ear and reminisce about the times youâd spent in other wonderful places such as this, most of the time courtesy of your boyfriend.
Sae, the ever-so-nonchalant man that he is, rarely says it outright, but you know he loves having you around, loves having you close and within his reach, loves knowing youâre there waiting for him after each grueling day. Why else would he always have two tickets ready whenever he has an away game if not to bring you along on his trip? Why else would he book an entire beach house instead of staying at the hotel like the rest of his teammates?
Sure, the hours when heâs away for practice would feel a little lonely at times, but thatâs the more reason for you to anticipate his return, for the reward heâd been saving for you at the end of the day will only grow sweeter.
Life with Sae can be gradual and relaxed, yet thrilling in the way that he would try to explore anything and everything with you, if only youâd so much as ask for it.
Life with him makes you feel⌠full. In more ways than one.
The sound of the door unlocking catches your attention, and the soft pitter patter of footsteps that follow only sends a rush of excitement through you. Soon enough, a pair of rough hands settle on your hips, a strong chest leaning against the span of your back.
âHave you been good, amor?â Your boyfriend whispers in your ear, his breath brushing against your skin almost in a seductive way. No âhi, hello, howâs your day?â and whatnot. He gets straight to the point, as always.
Thatâs your man alright.
The corner of your lips curls upwards. âHello to you too, handsome. What can I help you with today?â You cheekily ask.
The redhead scoffs, though in a lighthearted way. âYou could help me with many things, love. How about we start with answering my question first, hm?â He says, causing you to playfully pout at his response, âWell, what do you think?â
Saeâs hands start to slowly move up and down on the side of your waist, warmth seeping from his touch through your clothes. A meek gesture, giving and nearly domestic in a way if not for the promise of his next words.
âIf I tell you what I think, you wouldnât be able to properly stand in the next few minutes, amor.â He murmurs, hands drifting lower beneath the shirt youâre wearing before his fingers firmly spreads your asscheeks.
A gasp is pulled out of your mouth, the buttplug youâd been keeping inside you accidentally dragging against your ribbed walls from his ministrations.
Oops, he already figured it out, hasnât he?
You were supposed to stay good. Keep the plug nice and warm inside your hole, no touching nor masturbation whatsoever until he gets back. But how could you not?
When Sae kept sending you those godforsaken thirst traps from his gym and practice sessions? The way his sinewy muscles stretched oh so deliciously against the fabric of his sweat-soaked shirt, the way his thick veiny thighs were bulging after the rigorous workout, and the freaking post-session shower?
You shouldâve been considered a saint for the only thing you did was get yourself off one time the whole day with your fingers.
âCanât blame a girl for having such wild fantasies,â you huff, feeling his fingers dipping into the heat between your thighs. With the lack of underwear on your side, Sae lowly hums when he makes contact with your slick, sounding both pleased at himself and dissatisfied with your answer.
âWell, would you look at that⌠youâre still dripping wet. This all from the pics I sent you?â Your eyebrows pinch together, trying to come up with a sarcastic remark as you eye the people who are walking by in the distance.
âI ââ
âFingers or tongue?â Sae cuts you off, catching you off guard. âW-wait â here?â You ask as you finally turn to look at him. His auburn hair softly blows with the night wind much like your own, and Sae tentatively reaches up to bring the thick locks over to one of your shoulders. His lidded teal eyes gauge yours with a perfectly raised eyebrow as if in challenge.
Youâre not one to say no to any of his advances, of course. After all, youâre just as freaky insatiable as he is, if not more.
Seeing an answer enough from the relaxed expression on your face, Sae decides for you. âMy fingers it is then.â
Almost immediately, he plunges two digits into your sopping cunt, causing you to let out a surprised squeal. Gripping hard on the railing, your body starts squirming as he straight away sets a quick pace.
âOh shit, Saeââ Your breath trembles with each thrust of his thick fingers, more of your juices trickling down the inside of your thighs.
He doesnât let up his speed. If anything, it only seems like heâs going faster with how much louder the gushing sound of your pussy can be heard. Your back bows slightly over the railing from how hard heâs going, though you donât stay there long before you swivel your head back again, hand fisting at the collar of his crisp white shirt to roughly pull him down into a kiss.
Your little growl mixes with his grunt as your lips and teeth clash in a fiery dance. Your legs are on the verge of trembling, and youâre so so close to coming on his magical fingers.
Your boyfriend has always enjoyed seeing you unravel before him, enjoyed seeing you come undone so quickly even when heâs not using his dick to fuck you silly. Youâre so pliant, so malleable under his touch, and yet you still got that fire in you to somehow fight him back.
Youâre an insufferable brat, but youâre his insufferable brat. One whose pussy that he loves making a mess of.
At this point you donât even care about the mass of passerby who could probably see you even from that far away. They can watch for all you care. In this moment, only you and Sae and the earth-shattering orgasms heâs gracing you with exist in this world.
(Though youâre a bit glad the house he rented isnât smacked right on the centre of the beach where lots of people will see if that was ever the case.)
âCome on, baby. Give me one before I have to fuck you dumb on my cock,â he mumbles. âOr do you need someone below to see how slutty you look right now, hm?â His other hand moves to the buttplug, slowly pushing it deeper inside your ass.
If it wasnât in your stomach already, then it certainly is now.
You donât bother giving him an answer because soon enough, youâre coming all over his hand with a whiny moan, your slick running down his wrist like rich honey.
Sae pulls his fingers out with a few last taps on your sticky clit, casually sucking and licking your cum off the digits before planting a kiss on the side of your head. âGood girl.â
True to his words, your legs feel like jelly from how hard he was going as you lean all your weight back against his body for support. Taking note of this, Sae spins you around before lifting you into his arms, walking you both to the bedroom just adjacent to the balcony.
All the while heâs carrying you inside, you mouth at the exposed skin of his neck, occasionally sucking and biting until the fair canvas turns raw and red from your teeth. He can reprimand (or punish) you later for giving him such visible hickeys where other people might notice. For now, you decide itâs best to indulge yourself first.
Sae sets you down onto the bed before he reaches down to pull his shirt over his head, helping you get your clothes off as well right after. âTurn around, amor. Let me see,â he instructs.
You know exactly what he means, and with a teasing smile thrown his way, you maneuver yourself to settle on your elbows and knees.
Your inner thighs are still coated with a light sheen of your arousal, wet and shiny under the dim light of the room. Using both his thumbs to soil the wetness further on your skin so near to your core, he takes in the way your cunt clenches around nothing as the plug sits cutely in your other hole. Without waiting any second longer, Sae unbuckles his belt to push his pants and boxers off, pumping himself a few times before guiding the tip against your tight entrance.
Your immense slick makes it so much easier for him to slide home, so warm and wet and tight around his cock. He lets out a low groan as your walls envelope him as easily as a sleeve, your pleased moan singing in his ears like a dirty melody.
Very much filled to the brim, both of your holes are so stretched out until there are tears clinging to your lashes.
âFuck, stay right there, baby.â He bites down on his lips, hips stilling after bottoming out before reaching over to the nightstand, the movement causing his blunt head to involuntarily nudge against your cervix. Sae curses just as you keen at the contact, his hand grabbing the tie heâd left haphazardly after leaving the press event yesterday.
Breath hitching at the sight of the fabric in his hand, you let out a breathless chuckle as your cheek presses on the bed. âYou wanna tie me up, babe?â You drawl teasingly, already half-drunk from the feeling of his cock filling you up.
A hint of a smirk appears on the midfielderâs lips. âIn a way,â he replies. Youâre about to ask what he means by that when he leans towards you, pulling the tie over your eyes instead, hiding away the green hues he adores so much. âOh,â
The grin on his face grows wider now that your sense of sight has been stripped away as he neatly knots the tie behind your head. âYeah, oh.â
âNow hold on tight, would you?â Thatâs all the warning you get before he begins pistoning his hips against yours in a fervor, eliciting a choked moan out of your parted lips.
âO-oh, god - fuck!â The pleasure is intensified, zaps of electricity creeping up the back of your spine and piling over tenfold as the lack of vision only makes everything feels more sensitive and raw, amplified. âThatâs it. Take my cock, amor.â His cock continues to drill into you, your cries and whimpers of his name and his deep grunts bouncing off the walls of the room.
Ass jiggling and drenched pussy lips stretching around his girth every time he plunges in, Sae has never seen such a staggeringly addicting sight in all his life.
He makes good use of the buttplug by shallowly moving it in and out, the dual stimulation making you bury your face into the comforter as you muffle your scream.
He can feel you clamping down on him, squeezing him so tightly that he swears he could see stars behind his lids. With both of you now close to reaching that peak, his pace only increases albeit becoming a little sloppier.
A few bruising thrusts later and youâre sent over the edge, your climax coursing over you like a tidal wave. Your pleasured cries become the final push that Sae needed before he quickly pulls out, roughly stroking himself using your cum until his own shoots out in thick ropes of white onto the globes of your ass.
He groans, a low throaty sound of satisfaction rumbling from his chest as he stares at the mess he left on your skin. Grabbing his phone that had dropped onto the bed sometime prior, he takes a quick snap before reaching over to slip the blindfold off.
Your eyes blink at the sudden brightness, thighs shaking and body spent as your top half remains laid on the bed. âSaeâŚ? Did you just take a picture?â You ask out of curiosity from the brief sound youâd heard.
He gently pulls out the plug, rubbing at the sore skin when you let out a little yelp before he wipes his cum off your ass, smearing them right on your pussy instead. He then gives you a non-committal hum, âYes. Now lay down properly. Iâm not finished.â
Much to both of your delight, heâs not even close to being done with you. Hasnât scratched the surface of what he had planned for you, even. Not now, not anytime soon.
Oh, youâre in for a long night ahead.
character development but it's just rye writing (lots of and more detailed) smut

â I want to see Zoroâs reaction when he sees the reader with an injury that almost kills them. â
âĽďžăťă brand
synopsis: you return to the ship with a horrible injury... and zoro goes fucking berserk.
cw: angst, tiny bit of comfort i guess, ZORO DOES NOT PLAY ABOUT YOU, protective zoro, kinda sad for a christmas post ik but i was inspired
a/n: merry chrysler <3
"Stop blubbering and answer me, Usopp!" Zoro barked, roughly grabbing the sniper by his suspenders and yoking him up, attempting to shake him out of it. "Tell me what the hell happened!"
Usopp could barely breathe through his sobs, large rivulets of tears and thick globs of snot running down his face as his chest heaved, attempting to spit out an answer.
"USOPP!"
"S-S-San-Sanji!"
In an instant, Zoro's head snapped over to to the cook, eyes blazing with murderous intent.
The blonde had been sitting on the stairs of the upper deck the entire time, hands clutching his armsâlike a hugâas he anxiously puffed his cigarette, his eyes becoming more hollow by the minute.
'Bastard!'
"She was with you!" the swordsman roared, storming over and harshly yanking Sanji to his feet. "What the fuck happened?!"
"Chill out, bro! It's not Sanji's fault!" Franky rushed over, shoving the two apart. "No one could've known!"
Zoro's brows furrowed at the vagueness, jaw pulling taut with frustration.
He was getting real sick of everyone beating around the bush.
"Known what?! I don't know what the hell you're talking about!"
"(y/n)..." Nami sniffled, legs pulled into her chest as she sat off to the side.
When you were first brought back, she and Robin had been asked to assist Chopper in treating you.
But the moment she caught sight of your wound, she was utterly inconsolable, nothing but tears.
This, of course, left Robin alone to help the good doctor.
"How did it happen?! How bad is she hurt?!" Zoro asked, before turning his attention back to Sanji. "You were supposed to be protecting her!"
The cook's lip rolled, hoping to fight back against its wobble as the lump in his throat began to rise.
"She... told me to tell you... she's sorry..."
"I DON'T WANNA HEAR THAT SHIT FROM YOU!"
In an instant, Zoro launched himself toward him, the others rushing in to separate the two.
"Now is not the time for this!" Jimbei exclaimed, stepping between them.
"Zoro!" Usopp quickly rushed over, holding the man back, Brook and Franky jumping in to help.
"BASTARD!"
To think, the crew had been all smiles just hours ago...
Though, in all actuality... most of Zoro's anger was directed at himself.
He had a bad feeling about the day from the moment he woke up in your shared bed, an ominous presence already lingering in the air.
And the moment you said you were going ashore, he knew he should've gone with you.
But he didn't
And that was on him.
Even after that, he had a chance to pull you away from the others, to drag you off by your arm and force you to stay back with him.
But he didn't
And that was on him.
But, of course, you had to pay the price, fighting for your life against... well, he didn't even know.
What he did know, however, was that if you died, he would never be the same.
Within your hand, you held a chunk of his heart; a chunk of his mind; a chunk of his soul.
God, he didn't even get to see you smile one last time.
What kind of boyfriend was he?
What kind of man was he?
How could heâ?
"Zoro..." Robin stated, somberly, her voice cutting through his spiral as she and Chopper exited the medbay.
The poor boy was clinging to her leg, sadly, tears rolling down his cheeks as he hid his face in the flesh of her calf.
In an instant, Zoro stopped all his struggling, turning to them with a slight glimmer of fear in his eye.
"You should go see her... she needs you."
The moment the words hit his ears, he was moving, completely forgetting about Sanji and the others as he rushed into the room.
Inside, it was dim, the only light being a candle on the nightstand.
On the bed, you sat upright, feet dangling over the edge and arms crossed your bare chest as you looked down at yourself, shamefully.
"(y/n)..." Zoro exhaled, swiftly shutting the door behind himself to protect your modesty. "Are you alright?"
He crossed the room in wide strides, taking only a few steps to get to you.
From what he could see, you were unharmed; nothing like what he'd imagined based on the crew's reactions.
Impaled.
Dismembered.
Maimed.
Now, it seemed as if they were over-reacting...
When you didn't answer, his brows furrowed, hand coming up to carefully cup your cheek, concern spiking in his veins when you refused to look at him.
"(y/n)?" he tried again, thumb slightly gliding over your cheek. "What happened?"
Faintly, an idea popped into his head, reigniting the embers of anger that had been burning in chest only moments ago.
"Did someone touch you?"
At that question, a few stray tears escaped the corners of your eyes, forcing you to cower further into yourself.
It all was finally starting to click.
Your shame.
Usopp's hysterics.
Why Nami and Robin were the ones asked to assist.
'No...'
"(y/n)..." Zoro started, tone dangerously low. "Turn around."
Lip quivering, you followed his orders, letting out a few sniffles as you slowly turned.
Sitting back on your knees, you swiped your hair over your shoulder, revealing something Zoro never thought he'd see again.
The Claw of a Celestial Dragon.
Being so far away from Sabaody, the swordsman had ruled it as a near impossibility.
But seeing it so clearly, so painfully etched into your skin... it was impossible to deny.
You had been kidnapped by the Celestial Dragons, and branded... just before Sanji, Usopp, and Franky could save you.
Every pass of his eyes over your seared flesh tore out another shred of his heart, breaking him down to the white meat with your every tremble.
When you two got together, Zoro had swore to himself that he'd protect you, that any weapon made against you would fall at the hand of his blade.
That was his promise.
That was his word.
And it had just been broken.
"Zoro..." you choked up, turning back around and dropping your head in his chest, hands gripping onto his robe for dear life. "It hurts..."
Your voice felt like a punch to the gut, the swordsman's calloused hands rising to rest on your shoulders, thumbs drawing soothing circles into your skin.
Though, it wasn't long after that he became eerily quiet, expression morphing into one of something... terrifying.
Carefully, he scooped you up, wary of your burn as he laid you down on your side, leaning over to whisper something important into your ear.
". . ."
At that, your eyes widened, and he placed a firm kiss on your cheek before turning to exit the room.
On his way out, he tugged his bandana off his arm, pointedly tying it over his head before shrugging off the sleeves of his robe.
As he emerged, the blood of everyone on deck ran cold, the aura floating around the swordsman nothing short of bloodthirsty.
They had seen him before a battle countless times.
Incredibly focused.
Incredibly quiet.
Incredibly calm.
But it was nothing like that.
The sheer weight of his glare made it perfectly clear that nobody in that auction houseâor possibly, on the islandâwas going to survive.
"Luffy..." Zoro's voice rumbled, as if he was holding back a roar of fury, the man not even having to turn around to know that his captain was on the balcony behind him.
"I know," Luffy nodded, voice low and hat shading his eyes as he stood there. "Do what you have to do."
That was all the confirmation he needed.
In an instant, his swords were drawn, and before the others could even comprehend it, he was already in the air and on shore, sprinting at a near inhuman speed toward the center of he island.
The moment Zoro learned you had been hurt, he knew he would've had to kill the bastard that did it before the day was over.
But the moment he saw that damned mark, he knew that not only would he kill the bastard that did it, but anyone even remotely affiliated.
And, in the end, Luffy had to hunt him down and bring him back to senses, practically dragging him back to the Sunny as Kizaru chased behind.
Not only had Zoro killed the Celestial Dragon that branded you, but also everyone that worked at the auction... nearly destroying the entire island in the process.

more dad Rafe PLEASE, maybe something Christmassy
Christmas Special || Rafe Cameron x fem!reader
A/n: Mabelâs going to be a big sister!!!!!
Warnings: none just fluff!!! Not proofread mb!!
Word count: 652
MASTERLIST (dad!Rafe au masterlist)
Snow fell quietly outside the large bay windows of the Cameron home, turning the estate into a winter wonderland. Inside, warmth radiated from the fireplace, its soft crackle mingling with the faint hum of Christmas music playing in the background.
The living room was a festive haven, with a towering tree decked out in twinkling lights and ornaments, its base crowded with beautifully wrapped gifts. Rafe sat cross-legged on the plush rug in front of the tree, his one-year-old daughter, Mabel, nestled in his lap.
She was dressed in a tiny red dress with a bow clipped to her fine hair, her chubby hands reaching for the jingling ornament Rafe dangled in front of her. âCareful, baby girl,â he murmured, his voice low and tender. âYouâll have the whole tree coming down if you grab too hard.â
Mabel giggled, the sound soft and melodic, as she clutched at the ornament. Rafeâs laugh followed, a sound that warmed your heart as you leaned against the doorframe, heart swelling at the sight. Rafe had always been an incredible father, and moments like these reminded you of just how much love filled your home.
This Christmas, though, was about to get even better. Hidden in your pocket was a tiny box that held news you hadnât quite figured out how to share yet. âCaught you staring,â Rafe teased, his eyes flicking up to meet yours. His smirk was soft, affectionate. âYou coming to join us, or are you just going to admire us from over there?â
You pushed off the doorframe, walking over to him with a grin. âJust thinking about how lucky I am,â you said, settling into his lap. His arms immediately wrapped around your waist, pulling you close. âLucky, huh?â he teased, nuzzling his nose against your neck. âPretty sure Iâm the lucky one here.â
You brushed a hand over Mabelâs soft hair, your heart swelling as she babbled happily in your arms. âWell, youâre about to get even luckier,â you said, your voice teasing as you reached into your pocket. Rafe raised an eyebrow. âOh? Whatâs that supposed to mean?â
Without a word, you handed him the small box. His curiosity was instant, his hands carefully unwrapping it. When he lifted the lid and saw the pregnancy test nestled inside, the air seemed to still. His blue eyes widened, darting from the test to your face. âNo way,â he whispered, his voice barely audible.
A wide smile spread across your face as you nodded. âMerry Christmas, Rafe. Youâre going to be a dad again.â For a moment, he didnât move, his expression a mix of shock and overwhelming joy. Then, suddenly, he reached for you, his hand cradling the back of your neck as he kissed you deeply. When he pulled back, his voice was thick with emotion.
âThis⌠this is the best Christmas gift Iâve ever gotten,â he said, his eyes glistening. Mabel, sensing the excitement, clapped her tiny hands, letting out a delighted squeal. Rafe laughed, reaching over to tickle her belly. âAnd you, little lady, are going to be the best big sister ever,â he said, his tone playful but full of love.
Mabel responded with more babbles, her wide eyes bright and curious. As the three of you sat there, surrounded by the glow of the Christmas tree, you leaned into Rafe, feeling the weight of his arm tighten around you. âMerry Christmas, babe,â he said softly, pressing another kiss to your temple.
âMerry Christmas,â you echoed, your heart full. This was your family, your joy, and your miracleâwrapped in the magic of the holiday season.

You have not done nearly enough research on intersectionality if you actually believe that men are not a part of that intersectionality, stop blaming the gender and start blaming the actual elites and rich that put us in this position to exploit divide and conquer us, learn some goddamn class consciousness
I know which post you're paraphrasing. I've been seeing this line of thinking crop up, "oppression olympics," "class consciousness," "do not look into another man's bowl to see if he has more than you but only to see if it is full" and at this point it feels like a deliberate obfuscation. how are we supposed to talk about privilege, then, like how are we supposed to note the ways in which people in our community are currently using their privilege to mistreat others? why has this thought been degenerated into a hysterical fit of jealousy? i do not care about being the most oppressed in the room, in fact i've maintained over and over that i'm obviously not. why are you all a decade and a half behind the discussion, i don't fucking get it

summary: jj and reader are in a secret relationship, when they finally get the chateau to themselves, they use it to their advantage.
pairings: routledge!reader x jj maybank
lias note â not proofread, wrote this while high so it sucksss. requested by this ask, thank you for the request baby!
"Alright you two, no funny business while I'm gone, okay?" john b says to JJ in a stern manner, half joking and half serious. The rest of the Pogue's were outside in the twinkie, waiting for him impatiently as he finishes up his conversation with you two.
The Pogue's put you and JJ up to cleaning the house and keeping a lookout for cops for the day. Easy enough, right?
"Alright, alright, we got it. Go do your thing, John b." JJ says patting john b on the back dismissively.
You had been faintly listening in from the kitchen, not paying a lot of mind to john b's protective words. You had quickly gotten used to him being overprotective as you all got older, since everything does change.
You were faintly humming to yourself as you'd gotten a head start on cleaning in the kitchen since it was the filthiest of the whole house. You were wiping the counter with surface cleaner, paying more attention to certain areas than others. You were completely immersed in what you were doing, then you feel a familiar pair of warm arms wrap around your waist from behind.
you giggle softly, "jay, were supposed to be cleaning, not now." you say, trying to peel his arms off your waist with your free hand, going back to wiping the counter.
he groans softly from behind you. "c'mon baby, we haven't been able to do nothing in days, it's killin' me." he says, pressing wet kisses to the crook of your neck, his arms persistently wrapping around you tighter.
You can feel the slight bulge pressing up against your backside that's becoming more prominent as he rubs up against you. "I know you feel that mama..." he starts, "c'mon, you tellin' me this pussy isn't soaking wet thinking about me right now?"
you can feel his lips twitch up into a smirk against your neck, his hands starting to roam lower and lower with each passing moment.
and he wasnt wrong, you missed having him buried deep inside you so badly. he always knew just what spots to hit.
you could feel your panties get wetter by the second, biting your lip to suppress a moan from the feeling of him sucking on the sweet spot of your neck.
he grins as he feels the slight whimper escape from your throat, he moves one hand to pull the rag out of yours, tossing it onto the counter you were previously scrubbing.
the wetness in your panties was becoming more prominent and getting harder to ignore. "Okay fine jj. but make it quick" you say, sternly, but your voice betrays a hint of excitement.
he chuckles wickedly, sweeping you off your feet, carrying you bridal style to the makeshift bed made on the couch. "Knew you couldn't resist me, sweetheart." he smirks, his hands already pulling down both your shorts and panties.
he spreads your thighs wide open, pressing teasing kisses to your inner thighs, running his index finger along your pussy lips, coating his finger in your arousal. he pulls his finger out, his manhood twitching at the sight of your juices on his finger.
"fuck, mama. look at how wet she is for papa j. she's so needy isn't she?" he groans, moving one hand down to free himself from his boxer briefs.
he crawls up on the couch on top of you, his body hovering over yours. he immediately attaches his lips onto yours, both of your lips moving languidly over each other's. one hand roaming over your body, grasping the flesh of your thighs.
you pull away to pull his shirt off, both of your breaths coming out in short pants.
"baby, we gotta hurry. the pogues said they're just going down to get some beers."
a pang of realization washes over him, "oh shit, your right." he says, "guess im gonna have to fuck you fast then, hm?"
he unclasps your bra, throwing it onto the pile of clothes made on the floor. he hovers above you once more, lining his leaking tip with your entrance. he pushes in with ease thanks to your arousal, he starts to rock his hips back and forth, his cock hitting that spongy spot inside of you.
"oh fuck, jay" you moan out, throwing your head back against the couch cushion behind you. "fuck mama, this pussy's so tight." he groans, his eyes rolling to the back of his head.
he starts to thrust faster, his hands grab your legs to wrap them around his waist so he can angle himself deeper.
he rubs your clit, his other hand moving down to push on your lower stomach. "fuck, look at that mama" he breathes out a chuckle, feeling his cock make a prominent bulge in your tummy under his palm every time he hits that spot inside you.
he groans in your ear, continuing to rub your swollen bud, coaxing you to orgasm.
"jj im gonna cum-" you moan out, squirming slightly at the feeling of his cock deep inside you, and his thumb rubbing tight circles on your clit.
"yeah, baby? you gonna cum on my cock?" he asks, purposely slamming his hips rougher against yours, his tip brushing against your cervix with every harsh thrust.
the pleasure becomes too much, the strong pressure in your lower stomach abruptly snaps, jj's eyes widen, and he stares down at your squirting pussy with pure lust.
"o-oh fuck, mama" he groans, shooting his warm, creamy cum inside your cunt, his cock twitching from the intense orgasm. as he comes down from his high, he peels open his eyes, and through the blinds, he can see the twinkie pulling up outside.
oh shit...

dating headcanons - zzzero men edition (((o(*ďžâ˝ďž*)o)))âĄ
ft. gn!reader x anton ivanov, ben bigger, lighter, von lycaon, wise ; no applicable warnings! my first request (i tried to finish it before christmas in my timezone, but still, merry christmas to the anon who requested this :DD and to those reading!!) hehehhe i hope its good enough・ďž(ďžÂ´Ď`ďž)ďžď˝Ą
anton ivanov
you cannot look me in the eye and tell me this man isnât the type to yell âthis is for you!â or âif i hit this you give me a kissâ and completely miss whatever target heâs supposed to hit. he hits it. sometimes. he still gets a kiss anyways.
[âdudeâ âweâre literally dating and youâve placed your lips on mine do NOT call me dude.â ââŚbabeâ]
big on gift giving and words of affirmation in terms of love languages. he makes sure to put a lot of thought into whatever he gives to you to properly convey his appreciation and show just how much you mean to him.
"strong, sincere, and straightforward." he's definitely the type to encourage you to try new things especially when you're the type to get easily nervous. if you're scared of looking stupid, don't worry; he'll do it with you hand-in-hand so you can be stupid together. becomes your no. 1 hype man and would give you his honest opinions whenever you need âem.
you see or hear him talking to his jackhammer bro for the most mundane or random things and you've become used to it at this point. its honestly endearing (you're hopeless)
["bro do you think they'd still love me if i was a worm?" "vroom vroom vroom" âyou think so?â âvroomâ "yeah, you're right."]
ben bigger
scary bear privileges meaning no one wants to mess with you knowing that you're dating someone who cuts such an intimidating presence but you know better than them because ben would much rather use his paws to tap away at a calculator or spreadsheet than willingly get into fights.
on that note, he's most likely to be the best companion for grocery shopping; he'll know how to get all the good discounts and haggle for the best prices for sure.
best cuddle partner to have during colder seasons no. 1. although he puts his fur care second, it's still soft and fuzzy to the touch and he likes that you appreciate the warmth it provides too.
since he struggles with some of his accounting responsibilities due to the size of his paws, sometimes you help him with sorting some of belobog industries' financial documents and eventually you end up finding the task quite relaxing after a while of doing it.
but, of course, he loves spending time with you outside of work. anything to take his mind off of the horrors of accounting. he'll mentally file away anything he learns about you when you're together for future purposes, may it be gift or date ideas.
he's the bear thiren between both of you, but in private he loves cuddling against you like you're some sort of plush toy. you don't mind. another win-win situation because you get to rest against him like a giant pillow as well.
lighter
he tries to be flirty with you and sometimes it works! but when you match his energy and it backfires on him he turns into a blushing mess who doesnât know what to do with himself.
also the type to want to show off or act all suave. he has an image to keep as the undefeated champion! the red scarf! (heâs internally giggling and kicking his feet from one [1] cheek kiss you left in passing).
date nights with him sometimes consist of drives on his bike and stargazing at a nice little spot he found in blazewood. then halfway through, heâd get distracted from seeing the stars in your eyes and think that its a hundred times better than the real thing and fall in love all over again.
âgets as many challenges as love lettersâ but he makes sure that you and anyone who tries to make a move know that he only has eyes for you. could be in the form of having an arm around your waist or his jacket on you when you feel cold.
a physical touch and acts of service guy because. well. he did say heâd like to die for love one day. thatâs a very romantic thing to say and do. also his heart still races whenever you hold his hand but he swears heâs getting used to it (he isnât). probably melts when you gently run your fingers over his face or any of his scars
i honestly feel like he's one of those "me and my bae don't argue they just tell me to shut up and i do" types.
von lycaon
an ideal date for him would be a fancy dinner or picnic somewhere nice and discreet. complete with scented candles, your favorite flowers, and homecooked food (which probably tastes better than anything you've ever eaten at any restaurant). then at some point when both of you have finished eating and you're both in conversation, he brings your hand up to his lips and leaves a kiss on your knuckles.
["darling, your face is...concerningly red. are you feeling alright?" "i'm fine. i think."]
you WILL be receiving that prince/princess treatment (threat). breakfast in bed when he isnât busy, spontaneous massages offered when you mention ONCE that you feel tired, and all that jazz. you probably will never have to open another door yourself with him around and he ALWAYS offers his arm for you to take when you're walking together.
best cuddle partner to have during colder seasons no. 2. just prepare yourself for horrendous shedding as summer begins⌠but you donât mind helping him brush through his fur (*´Ď`*) its therapeutic and youâre one of the very few people he trusts with the task so its a win for both of you.
since he's a wolf thiren, he sometimes unwillingly attracts the attention of stray cats and dogs; he usually pays them no mind but it is somewhat of an inconvenience for him. however, the sight of you playing with them while quietly cooing eases some of his discomfort. seems like you aren't the only one suffering from cuteness aggression.
his guilty pleasure is squishing your cheeks in his hands. no i will not elaborate
wise
this is one of the random play managers weâre talking about, so. movie date nights are mandatory. both of you alternate when picking movies but sometimes you bicker over options like an old married couple just for the fun of it.
a lot more chill when it comes to PDA but he can be flirty when he wants to be. if he knows you have a weak spot for it, he uses it to his advantage to get what he wants. scheming little minx. /pos
words of affirmation and quality time guy, i think. since he's always so busy with managing the store and completing commissions alongside belle as proxies, he makes the most out of the time you guys can spend together alone. even if it's just laying in his bed or on the couch doing nothing together sometimes.
everyone and their mothers and grandmothers on sixth street will probably know that youâre dating or figure something out at some point even when both of you donât really do much together in public/are trying to keep it on the low. never underestimate these aunties man
unfortunately for wise, he will become the target of teasing or nagging from belle when it comes to your relationship. once you get close enough she'll also share embarrassing stories from when they were younger or before you and wise started dating much to her brotherâs chagrin.
secretly likes clinging and cuddling up to you like a koala. both of you are in bed? oh okay, donât mind him, heâll just scooch a bit and wrap his arms and legs around you, claiming that having you in his bed helps fix his insomnia (it does, to some degree). [âwise i canât move.â âyou donât need to.â]
on the days you help out with tasks in random play, you could quite literally just be standing while doing something and then youâll feel a pair of arms sneak around your waist from behind as he leans his head on one of your shoulders with a quiet, satisfied sigh.

¤ WARNiNGS : not proofread Ḡkissing Ḡboth of them r oblivious Ḡâ đ
ark sunghoon x đ! reader Ë ÝđĽ ÝË ę° WC : 1.4K ęą SYPNOSiS đ in which you and sunghoon are oblivious about your feelings for each other until your friends finally do something about it .á MERRY CHRISTMAS ! ââ LiBRARY
THE SNOW OUTSIDE HAD CLOUDED THE STREETS IN A MILKY WHITE, it was the kind of day that felt magical, the dim lit cafe protecting you from the snowstorm outside as the hot chocolate warmed your hands.
unfortunately for you though, the magic felt quite out of reach at the moment.
you sighed, staring at the filled to the brim hot chocolate in front of youâyour best friends, yuna and jake, were seated across from you at the cafĂŠ table.
both currently giving you the same exasperated look theyâd been perfecting over the past week.
âiâm just saying,â yuna sighed, her voice melting into the dangerous territory of concern mixed with frustration, âitâs really not like you to just avoid sunghoon, whatâs going on?â ââ đąđ¤đ˛đł đĄđ¤đŤđŽđś!
you glanced up at her, then quickly glanced away from her curious gaze.
how were you supposed to explain to your friends that the rumors about him and karina were the last straw? that your heart couldnât take sitting next to him anymore while imagining him falling for someone else?
âitâs nothing,â you mumbled, stirring your drink absently. âcanât a girl be busy?â
jake scoffed in disbelief, not buying it for a second. âbusy? you skipped movie night. thatâs our thing. even sunghoon noticed, and heâs usually so dense he couldnât tell the difference between a cotton ball and a marshmallow.â
yuna snorted, but her gaze softened. âlookâi get it. itâs hard when you have feelings for someone who you think doesnât feel the sameâ
âi never said i have feelings for him,â you blurted out defensively, even as your pink cheeks told a different story.
âyou didnât have to.â jake leaned back with his arms crossed. âitâs written all over your face every single time you look at him.â
you swallowed hard, glancing out the frosted window. did you really look at him like that? did everyone really know?
âit doesnât matter anyway,â you sighed. âheâs talking to karina now. sheâs likeâperfect for him, his ideal type. and iâm not.â
yuna rolled her eyes so hard you were surprised they didnât get stuck. âokay, seriously? karina likes him, sure, we all know thatâbut sunghoon barely looks at her unless sheâs waving directly in front of his face. heâs been moping around because of you, not her.â
you froze. âthatâs not true.â
âexcept it is.â jake leaned forward, his voice serious now. âheâs not as oblivious as you think, he knows somethingâs wrong between you two, and itâs pretty much driving him crazy.â
âreally?â you challenged, though your voice wavered. âthen why hasnât he said anything to me?â
âbecause heâs sunghoon,â yuna said as if it were the most obvious thing on earth. âthe guy can land triple axels on ice but canât figure out his feelings to save his life. youâre both completely hopeless.â
you shook your head, sinking lower into the plush seat. âit doesnât matter. iâm over it. iâm ready to move on.â
jake groaned in annoyance, while yuna practically slammed her hands onto the table, gathering judging looks from the bystanders. âno, absolutely not! and weâre done watching you two tiptoe around each other like youâre each others middle school crushes. weâre fixing this.â
âwait, what?â you asked, but they were already exchanging knowing looks.
the plan, the one which you had no idea it existed, was very simple: lie to the both of you and hope for the best.
jake approached sunghoon that same evening at their gym session, where he found him punching a bag with more aggression than usual.
âdamnâwhatâs up with you?â jake asked casually, leaning against the wall.
ânothing,â sunghoon muttered, yet his furrowed brows and clenched jaw said otherwise.
jake smirked knowingly. âyouâre such a bad liar. is this about y/n?â
sunghoon flinched at the sound of your name, missing the retaliation of the bag entirely. âwhat? noâwhy would it be about her? did she say anything..â
âuh-huh.â jake pushed off the wall, walking closer. âyou know she thinks youâre into karina, right?â
sunghoon stopped, his heart beating painfully in his chest. âwhy in the world would she think that?â
âbecause youâve been seen hanging around her more lately,â jake said simply. âand because y/n is an idiot who doesnât realize how much you like her.â
sunghoon opened his mouth to deny it but found that he quite literally couldnât. his feelings for you werenât newâtheyâd been brewing beneath the surface for years, just waiting for the right moment to arrive, but how could he admit his feelings when he wasnât sure you felt the same?
âshe doesnât like me like that,â he said finally.
jake rolled his eyes. âwow. you two really are the exact epitome of hopeless. you know sheâs planning to confess to someone else, right? she said sheâs moving on.â
sunghoonâs stomach twisted at jakesâ words, his head spinning to his direction immediately. âshe said that?â
âword for word,â jake lied with a grin. âbut hey, if youâre cool with losing her to another guy just because youâre afraid of confessing, thatâs your call.â
sunghoon wasnât cool with it. not even a little.
meanwhile, yuna was feeding you a similar story.
âsunghoonâs been acting weird,â she said as you walked home together. âi think heâs going to confess to karina at the christmas party.â
your heart sank, even though youâd told yourself you were done hoping. âthatâs great for him,â you said, forcing a smile though you could feel your heart breaking at the simple thought of it.
âis it?â yuna tilted her head. âi mean, if youâre really okay with it, then i guess thereâs no reason for you to..i donât know, tell him how you feel..â
âi told you yuna, iâm over it.â
âsure, sure.â yuna waved you off, but there was a gleam in her eyes that made you suspicious.
the annual christmas party at jayâs house was a big deal for the people at your schoolâloud, chaotic, and full of mistletoe planted around the house.
you arrived late, hoping to avoid too much attention (or a certain someone), but the moment you stepped inside, sunghoon was the first person you saw.
he was standing near the lit up tree, dressed in a cozy knitted sweater that made him look ridiculously handsome.
when his eyes met yours, they lit up, but the warmth quickly flickered into something more unsure and nervous.
ây/n,â he said, stepping closer. âhey.â
âhi,â you replied, your voice quieter than usual.
for a few seconds, you just stood there, the noisy blaring music of the party fading into the background.
then sunghoon finally glanced up, and you followed his gaze to see a random piece of mistletoe hanging above you.
âyuna,â you muttered under your breath, realizing exactly who had orchestrated this.
âguess weâre supposed to kiss,â sunghoon said, his voice dripping with a nervous humor.
you laughed awkwardly, stepping backâplotting your escape already. âwe donât have to.â
but before either of you could move away, jake appeared, blocking your escape. âoh, come on guys. itâs tradition.â
âjake,â sunghoon started, but his friend was already retreating into the crowd with a content smirk.
you looked back at sunghoon, your heart pounding. âwe can justââ
âi like you,â he blurted, cutting you off.
your eyes widened. âw-what?â
âi like you,â he repeated, his cheeks flushed. âi like you so muchâiâve liked you for a long time, and i donât want to pretend i donât anymore. so if you donât feel the same way, thatâs fine, but i just needed to tell you.â
you stared at him, your mind racing with questions and thoughts. âbut karinaâŚâ
âkarina?â sunghoon frowned. âi donât like karina. iâve barely talked to her.â
you blinked, the pieces finally clicking together. âwait. did jake and yunaâŚ?â
âset us up?â sunghoon finished your question, laughing softly. âyeah, probably.â
for a moment, neither of you spoke. then, almost hesitantly, sunghoon took a step closer.
âso,â he said, his voice softer now, âdo you feel the same?â
you didnât trust your voice, so you nodded instead. the relief on his face was immediate, and before you could second-guess yourself, you leaned in, pressing your lips to his.
the kiss was sweet and soft, and when you pulled back, sunghoon was smiling like heâd just won the lottery.
âfinally,â jake muttered somewhere in the background, but you were too busy looking at sunghoon to care.
that night, as the snow continued to fall, you walked home with sunghoonâs hand in yours, feeling like maybeâjust maybe, christmas magic was real after all.

This had never occurred to me way back when when I first watched playthroughs of the game/played it myself, but;
Seeing this post made me remember Max's nightmare, when she was trapped in her own mind/a broken version of reality.
And seeing this now?
Max definitely has PTSD.
Everyone always primarily discusses/ focuses on Chloe's trauma (which is understandable. I'll always be a Chloe defender and don't want to downplay her trauma by any means.)
But, unfortunately, Max's is overlooked.
Now, a lot of people might view this skeptically, question the idea of Max having PTSD. To many, it might seem like Max doesn't really have any lasting form of major trauma after the events of the game. Maybe she really was content and at peace and happy-go-lucky. (I've always scoffed at that scene at Chloe's funeral, when Max smiles at the butterfly.) And I'll admit, within the context of the story maybe we aren't supposed to think so. But if that's the case I just have to assume that's due to the developing team's lack of knowledge, experience with mental health and how it works, the impact things like this have on someone. Not that they are coming from a malicious place, of course. But very rarely does a person 'get it' unless they've been through it themselves. The average person simply won't understand.
But if you see everything I've described here as it's laid out, it makes total sense;
Let's talk about Jefferson. He is just one of many elements in the game contributing to Max's trauma. He was her teacher, someone she looked up to, respected, and was supposed to be able to trust. She truly felt safe around him. It's implied she had a crush on him. But her image of him completely shattered. After the truth about him was revealed, she was no longer able to trust her own judgement of people, her perception of reality.
He drugged her when she was vulnerable, and she was helpless to watch as he shot and killed the love of her life right in front of her. He kidnapped her, and she was thrown from the frying pan right into the fire. When she woke up she was tied up in a basement, helpless, and he had burned all her photos. Not only precious memories, but also one of her only means of going back and fixing things. He then took photos of her, over and over, this went on for who knows how long, while she was drugged, tied up and helpless, in order to satisfy his own perversions. Throughout, he mocked and tormented her.
Then, let's go into what happened with Chloe. Having to watch her best friend, the girl she loved, die over and over and over again. Max felt responsible for fixing it, preventing it, because she was the only one who possibly could. She would blame herself, think of it as a failure on her part each time Chloe died.
After watching her die in various ways, so many times, I'm sure Max questioned if she really even could save Chloe- or if Chloe was supposed to die from the start, and the universe was determined to restore the balance, no matter what Max did or how hard she tried.
And then there's Kate. This could go one of two ways depending on your choices, one of which is infinitely worse and more traumatizing, but either way it would definitely have haunted Max and left an impact on her.
Imagine how you would feel, knowing one of your closest friends was being bullied. Knowing they have been drunk/drugged and taken advantage of at a party. Yet instead of anyone coming forward, doing the right thing and helping Kate out of that situation, everyone at the party instead weaponized it, used it against her, slut-shamed her even though she wasn't in her right mind, was barely even conscious and was in no way able to consent to anything that was happening. Not that slut-shaming her would have in any way been okay or excusable even if Kate was acting of her own volition. Knowing that, even though you don't agree/don't identify with that, that your friend is deeply religious and clings to faith as a means of comfort. Knowing that she feels like a failure, that she feels like she's betrayed her faith, everything she stands for, and her family, even though she was in fact a victim in her situation. Being able to read letters, watching her family victim-blame her, hide behind their beliefs as a means to tear down someone they should feel obligated to protect, to support. Watching your friend be alienated by everyone around her, including her own family. Watching the school bullies write obscenities about your friend on the walls, and in the bathroom, make jabs at her and taunt her at every possible opportunity. Your friend's light has begun to dim, she starts pulling away from you, begins hiding away in her room more, which now feels like a dark, oppresive void. You know your friend is depressed, and you're trying to be supportive in any way you can, but there's a distance building between you you feel you can't bridge.
Then it happens. She kills herself/tries to kill herself. In front of you, and everyone who tormented her. Even then, the people who hurt her have no shame, laughing and recording her when she's in crisis. You begin to question and blame yourself, blaming youself for not noticing something was severely wrong earlier, not recognizing the impending signs for what they were. You want to help your friend, to save her, but your powers at failing you at the worst possible time. You only get one chance to do this, like everyone else, and you have to do it the right way.
If Max managed to talk Kate down, that's still an instense emotional weight, still a serious event to work through and process.
If Kate jumpsâŚwellâŚ
Max feels like a failure. Like she contributed to Kate's death just as much as everyone else. Like she may as well have pushed Kate off that ledge herself. Not only watching your friend die in front of you, but knowing that it was self-inflicted in a moment of desperation, that they chose to do so and your words had no effectâŚ
Now, the end of the game. Depending on what you choose, Max either has to to feel an immeasurable weight on her conscience, the responsibility for the destruction of the town where she was born. Where she grew up. Where she has countless memories, despite its' faults. The deaths of almost everyone there she's ever known.
Including (especially) Joyce.
The guilt of feeling like she took Chloe's mom away from her too, after Chloe had already lost her dad.
Oh. And that reminds me.
It was an incredible miracle, Max discovering her ability to go back through time via photos. Being able to go back 5 years, to when she and Chloe were only 13, before all the horror had happened, and save William. The sense of sheer relief, happiness and accomplishment she felt. She felt like a hero.
Only for it to all blow up in her face in the worst possible way.
Seeing Chloe, now a total shell of her former self. Completely disabled, and paralyzed. Helpless. Unable to live on her own. Seeing firsthand the emotional and financial stress William and Joyce are going through as a result of the accident. Chloe having so little quality of life that she pleads with Max to kill her, because she can't even do it herself.
(This is not my narrative or opinion on Chloe's situation, by the way. This is how it's portrayed. Quality of life, determining whether your life is worth living to due a life-changing accident or consequent disability is the choice of the invidual whom it effects. I'm not saying that anyone in Chloe's situation, who is paralyzed would inherently have no quality of life or no reason to live. That really depends on the invidiual, what that person needs in order to truly live and thrive, whether that person has family and friends and an emotional/practical support system in their life, etc. For Chloe, for me, and for many other people, though not all, living that kind of life would not be worth it.)
Max, depending on your choices, having to kill Chloe, to choose the merciful path, allow Chloe to exercise her autonomy in a world in which she can no longer do so and put her out of her misery. Knowing that she's doing for Chloe what she'd want someone to do for her if she were in that situation, yet still full of pain and regrets.
Max then having to go back and undo it all. Allow William to die again. Watch Chloe experience that horror and trauma again, knowing now she could've prevented it. But at what cost?
Lastly, if you chose to let Chloe go. To let her die.
That makes it immeasurably worse in my opinion.
The week she and Chloe spent together, reconnecting and rebulding their friendship, everything they went through together, would essentially never have happened.
Chloe, in this timeline, died alone in a bathroom. She never recieved any sort of closure, never got to know what happened to Rachel, questioning if Rachel perhaps just abandoned her, similarly to how Max did.
She never got to resolve things with Max, never heard from her again. She never got to know that Max still loved her, still cared about her and thought of her, but was too scared and guilty to reach out.
She never got to patch up things with her mom, or with David.
Everything Max went through. Everything she experienced.
To recap:
Having to watch her best friend, the woman she loves, die over and over again, feeling helpless, trapped in this endless, hellish cycle of death.
Being lulled into a false sense of security, betrayed and abducted by someone she thought she could trust, someone she looked up to.
Witnessing firsthand Kate's suicide/attempt, feeling like she failed her.
Being forced to let William die again, and force Joyce and Chloe to suffer that loss again.
Having to watch Joyce mourn her only daughter, after already losing her husband. Knowing she could've prevented it.
Everything that happened would still exist, but only in Max's mind.
She has no one she could ever confide in, talk to, or open up about it.
Chloe, for her, was that person.
No one would believe her, albeit understandably.
It's implied her powers vanish after she goes back that final time to let Chloe die.
She'd have no way to prove her story was true.
Carrying the weight of that burden, that knowledge and trauma, alone, would drive anyone insane.
Feeling like everything she went through, all the efforts she made to keep Chloe alive, were pointless.
I don't believe there is any way Max could be okay after that.
She'd be a hollow shell, just going through the motions. Totally disconnected from the world and the people around her. (Understandably. Who the hell could she connect to? Who would understand her?) Everyone at Blackwell, and their student lives and petty drama would feel so insignificant. So incredibly stupid and shallow to Max after what she's been through.
In fact, I've always felt - years after the events of the game, were you to choose to let Chloe die - that Max likely killed herself.
Over time, she probably began to question herself, to feel crazy, and begin wondering whether any of what happened, actually did, or if it was just something her mind created.
Max's trauma, her thoughts and emotions in regards to all of this are reflected in this part of the game, her mental breakdown. You can see her self-loathing, the way she blames and criticizes herself, in her interactions with herself and in her distorted journal entries.
Anyway. I never really liked Max all that much as a protagonist.
I thought she was a pushover, a little shallow, cared too much about what people like Victoria thought of her. I thought it was pretty unforgivable the way she ghosted Chloe, at the most traumatic, formative time of Chloe's life, when she had just lost the most important person in her life, besides Max. I understand anxiety, feeling awkward, helpless and flailing in that situation and not knowing what to say or do to make it better, but it just doesn't matter to me. Nothing excuses that.
HoweverâŚ
Max, did ultimately (well, depending on your choice at the ending,) make it right.
This has given me some perspective, and I have a lot more empathy for her now.
   you thought you could control everybody and everything, huh?    â  twist time around your fingers?

CHAPTER WARNINGS. written from bangchan's pov, one out of pocket jisung comment (but not really), sad sad sad, but then happy happy happy, i'm delusional so i gave art girl my favorite coffee order
A/N. THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER I'M LITERALLY GOING TO CRYYYYYYYYY THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING THIS SERIES IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. I HOPE YOU ALL LOVE THIS CHAPTER AND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THE EPILOGUE đŤś(also, i'm sorry if this is lowkey ass, i had to rewrite it bc my laptop hates me)
Cold was the only word on Chrisâ mind as he woke from his nap in the green room. The group was doing an early-morning promotion, and Chris had gotten far less sleep the previous night than he would have liked. But how could he have gotten any sleep in this city? How could he have gotten any sleep knowing that heâs in the same city as her?
Every day of the past year, Chris had been doing nothing more than simply going through the motions. Every moment felt like it was draped in a haze, his life that was once clear and bright now felt blurred and dull. Chrisâ whole being was constantly consumed by the guilt of knowing that she was out there, thinking about him.
Heâd never intended for it to go as far as it did. When he first messaged her, heâd just recently been broken up with, and was trying to work through those emotions through the creation of a new album. The cover of the album was supposed to be symbolic, a visual representation of him letting his former lover go. How could he have expected to fall in love with the person he paid to depict it?
Even after his company had told him that they didnât approve the artist, that she was a liability, that she could damage his career, he still held on. He didnât tell her until it was too late. And that selfish action was enough to ruin not just himself, but also his younger brothers whoâd grown to care for her like family, His best friend Hyunjin who loved her the same as Chris. But the worst part of it was that he knew it had ruined her the most.
Chris tried to tell himself that his feelings for her were just a fluke, that he was just lonely or desperate or something. That heâd get over her eventually. But how could that be true when a whole year later, she was still the only thing on his mind?
Chris went throughout his day as mindlessly as he usually did, wordlessly letting the stylists fix him up, bringing life back into his face that had slightly sunken and paled over the past twelve months. He gave polite smiles to the staff, answered interview questions as intelligently as his dazed brain could, and tried his best to be a good leader to his brothers- an area he felt heâd been trying to improve in lately.
After she left, Chrisâ relationship with his entire group had been strained. His actions had tainted the smart, strong, caring older brother image that theyâd had of him in their minds, and he was doing all he could to restore it. Oddly enough, his relationship with Hyunjin had improved greatly after the events of the previous year. They had a certain understanding of each other's actions that the others simply couldnât see.
The younger members had slowly come back around to Chris- Jeongin slowest of all. Jeongin arguably had the closest relationship with The Artist, and Chrisâ selfishness had hurt him so badly, Chris wasnât sure that their relationship would recover.
And yet, slowly but surely, Jeongin came back around to him. In fact, Jeongin had been on Chrisâ tail all morning long. Over the twelve hours that the group was on set, Jeongin had been by Chrisâ side for roughly eleven of those hours. The two were planning on going to some cafe that Jeongin had recommended after the long day of promotions. If Chris were to tell the truth, heâd say that he was much too tired to go anywhere after promotions. He wanted a nap. SO badly. But fixing his strained relationship with Jeongin took precedence over his already suffering sleep schedule.
âYou ready to go?â Jeongin peeked his head into the green room as Chris slowly rose from his seat, groaning and stretching his aching limbs. âGood thing weâre going to a cafe. You look like you could use some coffee.â Jeongin giggled as Chris followed him out of the small room and into the hallway. Chris nodded along, rubbing his eyes and letting the younger man lead him towards the front door, silently thanking him with a nod as Jeongin handed him a mask, immediately placing it over his face before they exited the building.
Chris stared out the window from the backseat of one of the staff members' cars, absently wondering if she was sitting in one of the dozens of cars they sped past. Chris didnât know what heâd do if he saw her. Maybe heâd turn and run the other direction, maybe heâd immediately call his management to tell them that heâs quitting to run away with her. Or maybe heâd just stand there like an idiot.
The events of the past year had sparked a lot of conversation between the staff and members of the group, especially with their contract renewal coming up in just a few weeks. No one wanted another âArtist situationâ as the staff were calling it. Chris didnât know what they were thinking. Whether it be changing their contract to allow dating, or putting them on an even stricter ban, he didnât much care. He genuinely didnât know if heâd be able to find it in him to love anyone else for a long time.
On the other side of the car, Jeongin was practically vibrating with excitement as he stared at his phone, scrolling through the DMs heâd sent to his favorite person. He quietly giggled to himself as he opened his navigator app and saw that they were a mere ten minutes from reuniting with the person that had consumed their every waking moment of the past year.
âWhat are you laughing at?â
Jeongin reflexively shoved his phone in his pocket, folding his hands on his lap before looking up at his older brother in what he hoped was a very non-suspicious way. â...Nothing. Jisung texted me something.â
âOf course.â Chris chuckled, leaning his head against the window again. âWhat did he say this time?â
âUhâŚâ Jeongin took his phone out of his pocket, pretending to scroll through his texts for a moment while he attempted to think of something that could have come from Jisungâs foul mouth. âSomething aboutâŚsucking dick?â
Jeongin saw Chris nod from the corner of his eye, sighing internally that he hadnât seemed to pick up on what was happening yet.
The truth was, Chris had noticed Jeongin acting weird- Hyunjin too, for that matter. He figured it was just the time of year. It was just after the one-year anniversary of her leaving, and everyone had been dealing with it in their own way.
Minutes later, the staff member in the driver's seat pulled to the sidewalk and informed the two that they had arrived. They thanked the driver and stepped out of the car, looking around and taking in the sight of all the boujee boutiques, cafes, and bakeries on the downtown street.
âIs this it?â Chris pointed just down the street to one of the cuter shops of the street; a quaint little cafe/bookstore combo with numerous plants in the window and comfy looking seats inside. Jeongin nodded with a lopsided grin plastered on his face. The two started towards the cafe before Jeongin stopped in his tracks, smacking his forehead with his palm and exclaiming,
âOhh wait a second!â
Chris turned to his younger friend, quirking an eyebrow at him as Jeongin looked down the street behind him. âWhat?â
âI forgot that I need to grabâŚa thingâŚfrom a store. You go ahead and order, Iâll be right back! Get me a peppermint frappuccino!â Jeongin called to Chris as he ran back down the street the way they came, leaving Chris absolutely dumbfounded at his friend's sudden exit.
Chris sighed and ran a hand through his hair, looking in the direction Jeongin ran, and back over his shoulder to the cafe, mentally debating on whether to chase after his mischievous friend or to just go into the cafe and order an americano before he fainted in the middle of the sidewalk.
After little mental debate, he decided on the latter. The inside of the cafe was just as charming as the outside, comfortable mismatched heavily-cushioned seats surrounded several dark brown tables. Tall bookshelves adorned every wall, with paintings made by local artists filling any gaps left by the shelves.
There was a fairly long line stemming from the coffee bar in the back of the shop, Chris noticed as he stopped behind a girl with unnaturally colored hair that the menu didnât have Jeonginâs requested order. He figured heâd just order a hot chocolate with a peppermint espresso shot.
The line was moving slowly, even though people sat down to claim a table after they ordered, it felt like the line wasnât progressing at all. Chris glanced around the shop again and at all the different patrons scattered around. It seemed to be a hot spot for the local hipsters. As Chrisâ gaze danced over all the different people in line, his eyes were quickly drawn to the keychain on the bag of the girl in front of him.Â
When Hyunjin had taken her to the art museum back in Seoul, sheâd gotten one that looked exactly like it. She said it was her favorite thing that sheâd bought during her whole trip. Chris hadnât realized the line had moved on without him until the person behind him tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to move forward.
Before he knew it, it was the girl with the colored hairâs turn to order. Apparently, she needed a moment as she stood in silence for a moment, looking up at the menu behind the counter, much to the chagrin of the barista at the register.
âCould I please get a lavender oat milk latte?â
It felt like Chris had been decked in the face with a bag of cinder blocks as she spoke.Â
Any and all thoughts had immediately abandoned his mind as the barista rang her up and she thanked the worker in the sweet tone that Chris knew all too well.
Chrisâs heart ached at the sweet smile on her face as she turned around. However, the smile quickly faded as she saw the man that had been standing behind her. The two stood in equally stunned silence as they took each other in. Chrisâ eyes trailed down The Artistâs frame, quickly taking in the fact that she was paler and thinner than heâd remembered. The Artist noticed the same about him.
âExcuse me, you two are holding up the line.â The barista spoke from behind the counter, her annoyed tone prompting The Artist to turn around and flash her an apologetic smile, and gently place her hand on Chrisâ bicep, leading him out of the line.
Chrisâ eyes didnât leave her face as she was looking seemingly anywhere but him. She cleared her throat nervously, Chrisâ eyes burning into her face.
âDo you wanna sit down?â
Chris nodded before she silently led him to the table for two by the front window, placing her bag over the back of one of the seats and sitting down, folding her hands on top of the table.
Chris sat across from her, and the two sat in silence.
Chris could hear her shaky uneven breaths, and noticed her folded hands shaking on the table. It took everything in his to not reach over and hold them in his own.
âI saw the painting.â
Her eyes glanced up to meet his as he spoke, but she looked away as quickly as their eyes met. âI was hoping you had.â
Another bout of silence.
âSoâŚâ Chris sighed, running a hand through his hair before mirroring her position and folding his hands on the table, his fingers mere centimeters from hers. âWhat are you doing here?â
âWellâŚI was supposed to meet a potential client.â She was a lot quieter than Chris remembered.
âThat couldâve been dangerous.â
âYeah, wellâŚI havenât been out much lately. Figured this would be a good opportunity.â
More silence followed her statement, the pit of guilt in Chrisâ stomach clawing at him from the inside. Her reasoning for being here, her visibly sunken appearance, her hairâŚ
âYou changed your hair.â She looked up at him again, her eyes remaining on his this time as she reached up instinctively to touch the colored locks, a small smile gracing her face.
âOh yeahâŚJust trying something out, I guess.â
âI like it.â
The smile quickly dropped from her face at Chrisâ words, her eyes looking down at her lap once more. Chris sighed and leaned back in his seat. What the hell should he say? âIâm sorryâ? âI still love youâ? âLetâs run away togetherâ? Although he sincerely felt every one of those statements, none of them could express how he felt. None of those would make up for the pain and sadness that heâd inflicted on her, himself, and those closest to him. He was stuck. This has to be hell.
âSo, is your company not as fucked up anymore, or are you breaking the rules just by sitting here right now?â
Her words caused an unprompted laugh to escape Chrisâ mouth. He shook his head and ran a hand over his face, taking a steadying breath before looking back at the woman across from him. She was still so pretty.
âNo, I probably shouldnât be here right now. Jeongin and I were just going to get a cup of coffee and-â Jeongin. Of course he did. âThat little fuckerâ Chris sighed, looking out the window for any sign of the scheming young man.
The Artist across from him stared in confusion, âJeongin? Where is he?â
âHeâŚwent to grab something before coming here. I donât know. Weâre here for a schedule and probably forgot something at home.â
âChrisâŚare we just not going to talk about-â
âLetâs just leave.â
â...What?â She stared at him completely dumbfounded by his words, his eyes staring intently into hers, completely unwavering.
âLetâs go.â He repeated softly, reaching his hands over to grab her own. âI canât do this anymore. You have no idea how badly I missed you. Youâre the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think of before I fall asleep. I have spent every minute of every day regretting the fact that I didnât fight for you. The regret of putting my career and my company before you has been eating me alive. I thought I could get over it, but I canât. Seeing you again made me realize that. So letâs just leave.â
âChris, you canât do that to the kids.â
âWeâll take them with us. All of us can just live together in a secluded cabin somewhere.â
âYou know we canât do that. I know you know we canât.â
Chris sighed and ran his thumbs over her knuckles, her bright pink nail polish peeking through the gaps of his hand. âI know. I just canât say goodbye again.â
âChris, I love you. I could never stop loving you. I just donât know what to do.â Chris�� hands left at the Artistâs words. His eyes hadnât left hers since he started speaking, and heâd noticed the tears starting to well in the corners.
âIâm supposed to be renewing my contract soon. Iâll tell themâŚIâll convince them to let this happen. I donât give a fuck about the company anymore. I can live without them. I can just start over. But I canât live without you and start over with someone else.â
âGod, Chris, I want nothing more than to be with you. But the last thing I ever wanted was for me to hold you back in any way.â She took a deep breath, wiping the tears away from her eyes. She opened her mouth to continue, but the two were startled out of their seats by a loud pounding on the window next to them. They turned to see the source of the noise, and saw Jeongin pressed against the window, waving excitedly. As soon as he was sure the two saw him, he immediately ran into the shop and made a beeline for The Artist, giving her a tight hug that nearly knocked her out of her seat.
âI missed you so much.â The boy cried as she stood up to return his hug properly, neither of them caring about the other patrons of the cafe side-eyeing them.
âI knew it was you.â Her voice cracked as her arms tightened around him, not minding the feeling of his shoulders shaking with his sobs, or the warm tears on her shoulder as he pressed his face into her neck.
Chris watched with a sad smile on his face as he watched the two embrace. Eventually, Jeongin pulled away from The Artist and turned to Chris, stretching his arm out, prompting Chris to wrap his arms around the two people who meant the most to him. His whole world.
ONE YEAR LATERâŚ
âWeâll make it work.â Chris sighed as he pressed his lips into The Artistâs hair. âWe canât lose you.â
âChan! Whereâs my suitcase?â Jeongin called out from the living room, the sound of him stomping around the room was clear even where Chris stood in the kitchen.
âMinho put all the suitcases in the foyer.â Chris replied as he rushed to finish packing the bag of snacks from home for their long journey.
âChan! Do you have an extra tote bag?â Felix asked as he passed through the kitchen.
âI think in the laundry room.â
âI donât know where that is! Why the hell did you have to move into this giant house?â
âBecause, theyâre leaving room for growth. Chan and Art Babe go at it like, 24/7. Theyâre gonna end up with twelve kids by the time theyâre forty. Surprised they haven't made an announcement yet. Laundry room is all the way down the hall and to the left, by the way.â Jisung mused as he strolled in, taking an apple from the fruit bowl.
âShut up, Jisung!â Hyunjin yelled from the top of the staircase.
âIâm home!â A voice called from the foyer, prompting Chrisâ head to pop up like a meerkat. Felix and Jisung rolled their eyes affectionately at their older brothersâ demeanor before Felix went to find the laundry room.
âSpeak of the devil.â Jisung grinned, taking a large bite of apple as she entered the room, placing the grocery bags that adorned her arms on the counter, rolling her eyes at her friend.
âI donât wanna know.â She sighed and she walked around the counter, placing a kiss to Chrisâ cheek before washing her hands. âYou guys heading to the airport soon?â
âYeah, in about ten minutes, as long as everyone can find their stuff in time.â He ran his hand across her lower back as he passed her on his way to the pantry.
âAlright, Iâm gonna go wait in the foyer just in case you two decide to start banging on the counter.â Jisung pulled a faux-disgusted face at the two, tossing his finished apple in the garbage and promptly making his exit.
âHe loves us, really.â The Artist sighed as she dried her hands. Chris hummed in agreement and he shoved the last few items in the bag and zipped it up. âOh!â She exclaimed, rushing to the fridge, taking out eight small tupperware and sorting them out on the counter. âI made meals for you all to eat on the plane. I know itâs not a long flight, but I know the kids all hate that airlineâs food, so I figured theyâd appreciate it.â
Chris smiled softly as his lover as she spoke enthusiastically about the individual meals that sheâd prepared for their friends, the diamond on her left hand shimmering in the light. Theyâd been living together for six months now, and had been cherishing every second of it. Chris was thankful for every second that he got to spend with her. Just ten months ago, he had fought his company tooth and nail for his and his members rights to their own privacy. With the majority of their staff backing them and the fact that theyâd all agreed to not renew their contracts if the company didnât agree, there was nothing left for them to do.
After theyâd successfully gotten their conditions written into their contract, Chris and his Artist were finally free to love each other as they always had. She moved into an apartment in Seoul a few months later, and not long after that, she and Chris bought their first house together. Just a week after that, Chris proposed. After a year of being apart, they realized that they didnât want to waste a single second.
âChan! The vanâs here!â Changbin poked his head into the kitchen, giving a little wave to The Artist.
âHey! Tell everyone to come in here and grab their dinner.â She addressed Changbin, who immediately nodded and gave her a little salute before turning and relaying the message to the others. She turned to her fiance, who was leaning on the counter, his eyes still on her. She leaned over the counter and gave him a soft kiss, bringing her hand up to run her hands through his curls that heâd been taking such great care of lately. âYouâll make sure they get their dinners into their carry-ons?â
âOf course.â He whispered against her lips, pressing a short kiss to them before pulling away and grabbing the tupperware marked with his name.
All at once, the seven other men in the house stormed into the kitchen like a stampede. One-by-one, they grabbed their dinners and hugged The Artist, bidding her goodbye and telling her they loved her before rushing out of the house and into the van that awaited them outside.
âI put the brushes I borrowed back into your art room, and I noticed you had some brushes soaking, so I put them on the mat to dry.â Hyunjin, who was the last to leave, informed The Artist and they embraced.
âI appreciate you. See you when you get back.â She patted his back and smiled sweetly at him as they pulled back. He returned the smile and turned to leave, giving her one last wave over his shoulder before exiting the home.
Chris waited before he heard the front door close before walking around the counter to his lover and pulling her in for a tight hug, his hands holding her close as his lips pressed into her hair, breathing in her scent before he had to leave. âI love you so much, my beautiful girl.â
She pulled back slightly to look him in the eyes, smiling at him, her gaze filled with nothing but adoration. She leaned in once more to give him another lingering kiss, making sure she wouldnât forget the taste of his lips anytime soon. âI love you, too. My beautiful man.â
âIâll see you in a few weeks.â His hands went down to her own, holding them gently, his thumb running over the beautiful rock on her finger.
âGo have fun. Keep an eye on those kids.â
He chuckled and pressed his lips to her cheek quickly, grabbing the tupperware back off the counter. âYou know I will. I love you.â
âI love you. Now get out of my house.â She gave his back a light push and followed him to the front door as he giggled.
âHey.â He turned around, his hand on the door handle. âItâs our house.â
She couldnât resist pecking him once more as he opened the front door. âOur house.â
He gave her a look that could only be described as pure love before turning and rushing towards the van. She stood out on the front porch, seeing the boys in the van waving at her through the window as the van pulled away from the sidewalk and drove off.
Her heart didnât ache as the van drove out of sight. Because she knew that they would come back. That sheâd never have to truly be without them again. Because they were family. And no one could take that away.

Crossing the Line
Summary: Y/N never expected to fall for her roommate, Spencer, but when she becomes unexpectedly jealous of a girl flirting with him, she realizes she's in love with him. The problem is... how does she tell him that without ruining everything?
CONTENT WARNINGS: 18+ MDNI!! This fic is intended for adult audiences. Roommates/friends to lovers/two idiots in love trope. Jealous reader. Heavy making out. Dry humping (huge supporter of this I say bring it back!!). A small teensy bit of angst as reader struggles to accept her feelings. Insecure Spencer (sweet angel boy).
Pairing: Spencer Reid x fem!reader/afab!reader
Requested fic!! đĽł: I absolutely loved the fic you just wrote about Spencer and reader friends to lovers (and omg you write smut so well đ) and I was wondering if you could write another one but maybe theyâre roommates or something?
A/N: College!Spencer AU ahh!! Thank you so very much to the anon that requested this :â) <3 I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. I know this isn't my usual, all-out smut buttt there will be a part two for these two, so stay tuned. :') As always, please tell me what you think! If you enjoy it, please like, reblog, and share it with your friends. <3 Thank you and I love you all!! :)
Y/N never imagined she'd be rooming with a man, let alone one as⌠peculiar as Spencer Reid. Not in a bad way, of courseâjust, well, peculiar. Spencer was the last person Y/N expected to respond to her ad for a roommate, but she was glad he did.
At barely twenty-one, he already had two bachelorâs degrees and was deep into his third PhD. Heâd graduated high school at twelve (an IQ of 187 had a way of doing that, she supposed), skipping the years most kids spent developing their social skills. As a result, he was incredibly awkward and nerdy, but Y/N found this more endearing than off-putting.
As a roommate, he was exceptional: he kept things tidy, wasnât obnoxiously loud (even with their paper-thin walls), never had people over (which meant Y/N spent more time with him, as she didnât have guests either), and even helped her study, despite her insistence she could handle it on her own (they both knew better). As a friend, he was even betterâalways listening to her ramble about anything and everything, joining her for their now-regular movie nights, and offering a shoulder to cry on when needed (and she was always there for him in return).
In the six months they'd lived together, they'd grown incredibly close. Y/N was even smugly certain that they had avoided the classic 'falling for your roommate' scenarioâuntil Spencer came home ranting about a girl in his class.
âI mean, seriously! How hard is it to grab a paper without touching someone?â Spencer huffed, plopping down onto the couch next to her and reaching for the popcorn bowl that sat securely in her lap.
It took about three months of living together before Spencer felt comfortable enough to do things like share snacks during their movie nights or indulge in the occasional moment of physical affection.
Y/N never took it personally, understanding his aversion to germs (one of the first things heâd said when they met was that kissing was safer than shaking hands, and sheâd almost jokingly taken him up on it). Every time Spencer felt comfortable enough to share food with her (like he was doing now) or lean into her on the heavier days, letting her hold him until the world felt a little lighter, her chest swelled with pride. It made her happy to know he trusted her enough to let his guard down like that.
Y/N raised an eyebrow as she listened to his rant. Apparently, a girl in the class he TA'd for had been getting on his nerves for weeks, but this was the first sheâd heard about it. It didnât surprise herâSpencer tended to bottle things up until they reached a breaking point, and then he'd unload it all at once, just like he was doing now.
"Sheâs always staring at me, too. Every time I glance up, there she isâstaring and chewing on the end of her pen. It gives me the creeps," Spencer grumbled, a shiver running down his spine as he recalled it.
"Wait wait wait," Y/N stopped his rant with furrowed brows. "What did you say this girl's name was?"
"Her nameâs Wren Davidson. You might know herâor at least know of her. I'm pretty sure she's in a few of the same classes as you," Spencer said, pausing to snack on some popcorn, though by now, their movie was all but forgotten as the starting menu looped on the screen. "Sheâs about 5'6", has dark brown hair with some highlights, and green eyes."
Y/N pressed her tongue to her cheek, thinking for a moment. The name sounded strangely familiarâŚ
"Oh! I know who you meanâshe's in my 8:00 AM lecture with Professor James on Tuesdays and Thursdays," Y/N said, snapping her fingers as she remembered. She popped a piece of popcorn into her mouth, then tilted her head. "So, just to recapâshe's asking you questions instead of the professor, touching you whenever you hand out papers, staring at you⌠and what else?"
Spencer adjusted his glasses and leaned forward, clearly frustrated.
"Sheâs been bringing me coffee lately, even though Iâve told her a million times I donât want it because you always make it just the way I like before I leave and I don't need more. And when she doesnât bring coffee, itâs some kind of baked good. I donât get it! If sheâs looking for favoritism, why not try to suck up to the professor? Iâm just the TA."
A sudden tightness gripped Y/Nâs chest as she processed his words. It was clear nowâWren was flirting with him. But why did that thought send an unexpected wave of discomfort through her? Jealousy, maybe? No, that didnât make sense... Why would she be jealous?
âSheâs not looking for favoritism, Spence. Sheâs looking for a way to get into your pants,â Y/N snickered, ignoring yet another wave of unease that crashed into her at the mental image of Spencer actually having sex with Wren. Anyone would be uncomfortable thinking about their roommate having sex⌠right? That was a perfectly normal reaction.
Spencer suddenly choked on the popcorn heâd just popped into his mouth, coughing violently and startling Y/N. Without thinking, she leaned over, gently patting his back as concern flooded her expression. When the coughing finally subsided into a weak wheeze, she reached for his glass of water on the coffee table and handed it to him with a worried glance.
"Jesus, Spencer! Are you okay?"
"Why would you say that?"
Spencer's voice was unnervingly high, his face flushed from both the coughing fit and his growing embarrassment. He took a slow sip of water, trying to steady his racing heart. Setting the glass down with trembling hands, he adjusted his crooked glasses, his gaze avoiding hers. "For the record," he muttered, his voice tinged with insecurity, "I highly doubt sheâs trying to⌠get in my pants."
Y/N's expression softened from concern to sympathy as her hand moved to rub his knee in comfort.
She remembered the first (and only) time sheâd gotten Spencer to drink with her, how, in his tipsy state, heâd opened up about his painful past. In a rare moment of vulnerability, heâd shared how brutally heâd been bullied as a child prodigy, and how those experiences had led him to avoid romantic relationships for fear of humiliation and rejection. That night marked the turning point in their relationship, transforming them from roommates who got along to actual friendsâa change she would forever be grateful for.
"Youâre too hard on yourself," Y/N said gently. "Trust me on this one. As a woman, I can tell you with absolute certaintyâshe's flirting with you." She added, her tone matter-of-fact.
Spencer gave her a doubtful look, but after a moment, his shoulders slumped in reluctant acceptance as he began to entertain the possibility. "Weâll see," he muttered, grabbing the remote and finally starting their movie night.
It turned out Y/N had been right.
Three weeks had passed without a word from Spencer about it, and Y/N figured Wren had gotten the message and moved on. But then she began to notice Wren walking into class with a little extra bounce in her step, a shy, almost giddy smile lighting up her face as she sat down. Y/N shrugged it off⌠until she noticed Spencer doing the exact same thing.
Spencer began coming home later and later after class, a goofy grin on his face as he wandered through the apartment or headed to his room. Y/N didnât ask any questions, knowing heâd share whatever was making him so happy when he was readyâthough she had a pretty strong hunch about who it was. By the fourth week, he finally felt comfortable enough to confide in her.
"You wonât believe this, but I finally just asked Wren straight up if she was flirting with me⌠and she said yes!" Spencer said, his excitement clear as he leaned against the kitchen counter, watching Y/N cook. "Weâve been spending time together after class, and, uh⌠I asked her out on a date for this Friday!"
Y/N froze mid-stir, caught off guard by the sudden pang of sadness that hit her. Why did she feel this way? She should be happy for himâhe was her closest friend, after all. She cleared her throat, forcing herself to keep stirring as she pushed the unsettling thoughts aside for the moment.
"Thatâs great, Spence!" Y/N said, though her voice came out a bit tighter than usual. "So⌠what do you have planned for your date?"
Spencer began to ramble excitedly about what he had planned for Friday, his hands moving animatedly as he spoke. All it did was seem to make the feeling of dread and hurt creeping up on her worse, though she couldn't for the life of her understand why Spencer talking about his date had her so bothered. Maybe it was because she hadn't been on a date in over a year, having avoided the dating scene after her last breakup. That had to be it.
Y/N nodded absentmindedly, her mind fixated on the uneasy feeling growing inside her rather than his words. It had been so long since sheâd felt anything like this, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make sense of why it was happening.
She wasnât blind. She knew Spencer was ridiculously attractive (even if his wardrobe seemed to be straight out of an elderly manâs fashion catalog). And he was kind, thoughtful, and attentiveâanyone would be lucky to date him. Yet, despite all that, sheâd always seen him as nothing more than a friend. Or at least, thatâs what she kept telling herself.
Fortunately, the timer went off, cutting Spencer off mid-sentence. He quickly shifted gears, helping her dish out their food. They moved to the living room, ready to enjoy their meal and unwind with TV, as they always did.
Spencer couldnât help but notice that Y/N was quieter than usual. She didnât join in with her usual banter during the show, instead taking absent-minded bites, taking bites between distant, unfocused stares at the screen. His brow furrowed as he put his fork down, observing her slowly push her food around without really eating.
"Y/N⌠are you alright?" Spencer asked, lowering the volume on the TV. "Youâve barely touched your food."
"Hm?" Y/N looked up, offering a faint smile as she shrugged. "Yeah⌠Iâm fine, Spence. Just a little tired, I guess."
He didnât fully buy it, but he decided not to push further. "How about a nap in my lap while I grade papers, then? After dinner, of course. I donât want your head in my food," Spencer joked, pleased with himself. His lame humor had her rolling her eyes and grinning, stifling a laugh.
That had become normal for them: napping or cuddling, quick pecks on the cheek or top of the head when one of them left, cooking and eating together⌠the list went on. But the more Y/N thought about it, the more she realized it didnât exactly align with typical roommate behavior. Or maybe it did, and she was just overanalyzing, letting the strange feeling she couldnât shake make her paranoid.
"That sounds perfect," Y/N agreed, silently hoping the nap would help clear her mind.
They finished dinner, chatting between bites about their day. Spencer, ever the gentleman, told her to stay on the couch while he cleared their plates and rinsed them. After grabbing the stack of papers he needed to grade for Professor Hartman from his room, he returned, settling back onto the couch with a grin as he patted his lap.
Y/N eased into his lap, stretching her legs out across the couch as she nestled her head into the crook of his neck with a contented sigh. Spencer ran a hand down her back as she settled in, giving her hip a gentle pat before picking up the first paper to grade.
It didn't take long for Y/N to drift off in his arms, her breath warm against his skin as he graded papers. The room was quiet except for the soft rhythm of her breathing, the rustling of the papers as he flipped through them, and the occasional hum of a car passing outside. Spencer paused his grading, his gaze drifting down to Y/N as she slept peacefully in his arms. A fond expression softened his features as he watched her, her calmness soothing him. Slowly, he reached up and caressed her cheek with his knuckles, then resumed his work, his gaze lingering for just a moment longer.
Spencerâs eyelids drooped as he made his way through the last few papers, small yawns escaping him between each one. When he finished, he quietly set the stack on the coffee table, taking care not to disturb Y/N. With a gentle shift, he settled back into the cushions, bringing one hand to cradle her head as he adjusted their position on the couch. He carefully maneuvered so he could stretch out before pulling her closer, tucking her into his side.
It was late enough that Spencer didnât see the need to wake her; he knew if he did, sheâd be up for hours. Reaching behind him, he turned off the lamp, letting the room fall into darkness. The soft rhythm of her breathing eased him, and soon, he drifted off, her warmth grounding him. In minutes, they were both asleep, entwined in the quiet comfort of each otherâs arms.
As the week passed, Y/N found it increasingly difficult to cope with the thought of Spencer going on his date with Wren. Every time he brought it up, she quickly steered the conversation elsewhere or found an excuse to slip away, guilt gnawing at her with every evasive move. She hated herself for itâhe was genuinely excited, and she didnât want to ruin that. But every mention of the date made her stomach twist, and she couldnât bring herself to face it without feeling like she was being torn apart.
Y/N finally understood why the idea of him going on a date was so devastating to her nervous system.
Late Tuesday night, as Y/N lay awake in bed, a sudden, jarring realization hit her: she had fallen in love with Spencer. Somewhere over the past seven months, amid shared laughs, quiet moments, and unexpected tenderness, she had fallen hopelessly for the brilliant, quirky man she had sworn she'd never fall for.
And now, because she was a spineless coward who was too afraid to risk their friendship by speaking up, she found herself helping Spencer get ready for his date.
"Spencer, seriouslyâhold still! I'm almost done," Y/N grumbled, her tongue poking from the corner of her mouth as she fixed his hair.
Spencer let out an exasperated sigh but stopped shifting, almost going cross-eyed as he tried to focus on her. She was so close now that he could almost taste the minty freshness of her gum, her breath brushing his face making him more flustered than he expected. He nervously twiddled his fingers in his lap, his curiosity piqued as he waited to see how she had tamed his unruly strands.
"There you go. What do you think?" Y/N grinned proudly, stepping back to give him space as he stood from where he was sitting on the toilet lid, turning to face the bathroom mirror.
Spencer turned his head from side to side, eyes lingering on his reflection. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he examined himself. For the first time, he felt itâhe felt good. Like he could finally see what Y/N saw when she insisted he was handsome. Instead of his typical gelled, slicked-down look, she'd arranged his hair to accentuate his face, giving his features a more defined, natural appeal.
"I... Y/N, I love it. Thank you," Spencer breathed earnestly, turning to pull her into a warm hug.
Y/N smiled gently, wrapping her arms around him. The newfound confidence in his eyes was enough to ease the ache in her chest about his date. At least, she thought, he was finally seeing himself the way she always hadâworthy and deserving of feeling this good.
âOf course, Spence. Anything for you,â she murmured, the words feeling heavier than she intended. She meant it, though. She would do anything for himâeven if it meant shattering her own heart along the way.
As soon as the door clicked shut behind him, Y/N released a long, shaky breath, pressing her forehead against the cool wood for a moment before slowly making her way to Spencer's room. He had told her not to wait up, mentioning he planned on going to Wrenâs afterward. So, she curled up in his blanket, clutching his pillow to her chest, trying to let the comfort of his familiar scent quiet her restless mind.
Less than five minutes passed before the tears began to fall, each one soaking into the fabric of his pillow as a sob broke free from her chest. She felt pathetic. There she was, crumpled in his bed while he was out on a date, all because she couldnât find the courage to tell him how she feltâtoo afraid to admit the truth, convinced that he could never feel the same way about her.
The hours slipped by in a blur, her tears long gone as exhaustion weighed heavily on her. Too weary to move to her own bed, she simply tossed her pants to his floor, closed her eyes, and let sleep take over in the comfort of his sheets. She'd remake his bed in the morning before he got home, hoping he'd never know about the quiet, tearful night she'd spent there.
Spencer ran a hand through his hair, his fingers grazing his scalp as he quietly unlocked the door and stepped into the dark apartment. The date had gone fine, nothing awful⌠but there was a difference between nice and right. Wren was nice, but she wasnât the one his heart had been quietly waiting for. That person was the other half of this apartment, likely fast asleep in her room, just as heâd told her to beâand he couldnât shake the feeling she shouldâve been the one heâd been out with tonight.
Spencer hung his jacket on the coat rack and slipped off his shoes, setting them neatly by the door. He headed toward his room, eager to leave the awkwardness of the evening behind and looking forward to starting the next day with the one person who truly made his world feel right. Though Y/N wasnât his, there was a quiet comfort in knowing she was always the first face heâd see each morning. Maybe one day, he'd find the courage to tell her how he felt. But for now, he was content cherishing their friendship.
He couldn't shake the slight guilt he felt for Wren, a cringe running through him as he replayed the moment she'd tried to kiss him when he dropped her off. When she leaned in, he'd jerked back instinctively, his eyes wide in shock, leaving her face flushed with embarrassment. Heâd apologized immediately, of course, and sheâd been kind enough to accept it before hurriedly retreating into her house. Still, he couldn't help but feel the discomfort linger, knowing their interactions in class would be uncomfortable from here on out.
Spencer pushed open his door, too exhausted to bother with the light as he shrugged off his clothes, blindly stumbling toward the bed. He let out a sigh of relief as he collapsed onto the mattressâonly to freeze when something beneath him let out a loud, panicked yelp. He scrambled back in shock, crashing to the floor in a clumsy heap, cursing loudly.
"What the fuck?" Spencer gasped, reaching for his lamp from the ground as he quickly sat up.
Y/N blinked at him in startled surprise, her brow furrowed and mouth slightly agape as she took in the sight of him sprawled on the floor. Spencer felt a wave of relief wash over him, his body sagging as he realized she wasnât some weird, perverted burglar waiting for him. Still, as the shock wore off, confusion crept in. Why was she in his bed?
âAre you alright?â Y/N squeaked, instinctively reaching down to help Spencer back onto the bed. Her mind was still foggy with sleep, and her heart was racing from the jarring wake-up call.
Spencer quickly slid under the covers, suddenly self-conscious of his state of undress, his face flushing as he glanced at her. He cleared his throat and gave a small nod. "I'm good, just⌠uh, why are you in my bed?"
Y/N hesitated, her teeth gently catching her lower lip as she searched for an excuse that wouldn't sound ridiculous. But nothing came to mind. With a deep breath, she finally decided to just tell him the truth.
"I⌠I wasn't handling your date with Wren very well," Y/N confessed, her voice low. "I came in here hoping to get some peace because being near you usually makes me feel better. But instead, I just ended up crying myself to sleep in your bed. I'm really sorry," she added, her brows knitting together as she looked at him. "Waitâwhy are you here? I thought you were going to stay at Wren's."
Spencerâs expression softened as he took in her words. âI chose to come home,â he said quietly. âWrenâs nice, but tonight made me realize thereâs really only one person I want across from me, or kissing me, or⌠anything else.â He paused, a thoughtful expression crossing his face. âBut what do you mean you werenât handling my date well? Why did you cry yourself to sleep, sweetheart?â
Y/Nâs heart clenched at his words, a wave of worry washing over her as her fatigue made it harder to hold back what she was feeling. Who could he possibly be talking about? She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself before she finally spoke.
âIâve been trying to figure this out for a while,â she began, her voice soft but steady. âAnd, Spence⌠I think Iâm in love with you. Iâve probably been in love with you for a long time, but I was too afraid to admit it to myself. Every time I thought about you with her, I felt so⌠sick. So jealous. Because I wanted to be the one you were with. I wanted to be the one you fell in love with.â
The words hung in the air between them, raw and unguarded. It was out in the open now. There was nothing left to hide.
To her surprise, Spencer let out a soft chuckle. Before she had a chance to take offense, he reached for her hands, holding them gently as he spoke.
"Y/N⌠you're already the one I've fallen in love with," Spencer confessed, his voice steady as his eyes held hers. "You're the reason I came back. As I sat across from her, it hit meâthereâs no one else in this world that Iâd rather be with than you."
Y/N blinked hard, ensuring that she wasnât asleep and that this wasnât a dream. It wasnât. He was still there when she opened her eyes, sitting cross legged and vulnerable (and enticingly bare under the covers) before her as he waited for her to respond. He tilted his head at that, laughing softly as his face scrunched in confusion.
âWhat are you doing, silly girl? I confess my love to you and your response is to blink at me like an owl?â Spencer teased, his nose twitching as he grinned.
Y/N huffed out a laugh of her own, gently squeezing his hands as she shook her head. âIâm sorry! I justâ I wanted to make sure this was real,â she murmured, her eyes falling to their hands in her lap.
âWould⌠would a kiss help to solidify that itâs real?â Spencer offered, a shy smile on his face.
Y/Nâs eyes widened at that, baffled but pleased with his newfound confidence. Maybe she should do his hair more often. Without a word, she nodded eagerly, leaning forward to gently capture his lips with her own.
The press of his lips against hers sent her spinning, as though reality itself was slipping away and all that remained was the grounding warmth of his hands cradling her face. Spencerâs kiss was all-encompassingâlike she was the very breath he needed to live. She craved more, desperate to fan the flames between them until the heat ignited, consuming them both from within.
Spencerâs lips never left hers as he gently tilted his head, deepening the kiss with a slow, deliberate movement. He carefully lowered her to the bed, his hands supporting her as he pulled back just enough to rest his forehead against hers. "Feel real enough for you, yet?" he whispered, his breath warm against her skin, the faintest brush of his lips lingering as if he couldnât bear to pull away for even a second.
Y/N rolled her eyes at his teasing, lacing her fingers into his hair to tug gently in retaliation. The whine he let out sent a sharp pang of desire up her spine, and she tugged harder just to hear it again.
âMm, not yet. I think youâll have to do it again to really convince me.â
The words barely filled the space between them before his lips were back on hers. She let out a soft exhale as his hips settled against hers, unable to help the giggles that slipped free when she felt his hard cock pressing against her through his boxers. She wasnât laughing at him, not at all. She was just lost in pure, blissful joy, reveling in the realization that he was finally hers.
âStop giggling and kiss me back,â Spencer muttered, his voice laced with playful frustration, but her laughter was contagious, and soon he was laughing too. Their lips remained pressed together, but it was more of a chaotic, shared moment than an actual kiss. As they pulled away, both of them breathless, the last of his nerves melted away, and they simply stared at each other, the connection now clearer than ever.
Spencer had imagined plenty of times what it would look like to have her splayed underneath him in his bed (thoughts that were shamefully fueled by her soft sounds of pleasure through their shared wall whenever she thought he was asleep). Nothing his imagination had dreamed up could ever compare to the sight before him. She looked utterly captivating, her cheeks flushed, lips slightly swollen from their kisses, eyes looking up at him with that familiar warmth. He always thought she was beautiful, without a doubt. But in this moment? She was a living, breathing work of art. A stunning, half-dressed masterpiece who was wrapping her legs around his waist with a shit-eating grin andâ
âOhâ!â
Spencer squeaked as Y/N arched her hips into his again, grinding against him in a way that provided delicious friction against his aching cock. Spencer had never been more turned on than he was in this moment, the need thrumming through his veins driving him to rock gently against her in return.
Y/Nâs grin faltered as her breath hitched, her brows pinching together as he began to thrust shakily against her through their underwear. Her mouth dropped open into a silent gasp as the head of his arousal brushed against her clit through the thin fabric, a helpless whine leaving her lips shortly after as he repeated the movement.
They were both too tired and too in love to rush their first time together (and Spencerâs first time in general), so they settled for this: the steady push and pull of their hips grinding together as their lips began to devour each otherâs once more. The room quickly filled with their muffled noises of pleasure; soft moans and whimpers between passionate kisses and the rustling of his covers as they moved against each other creating an explicit symphony.
Spencerâs movements became more fervent as Y/N licked into his mouth, her nails dragging across his shoulder blades encouraging him to keep going. His body trembled as he felt her arousal dampening the front of his boxers, a guttural moan wrenching its way from his throat. She was soaked. All because of him.
Y/Nâs head tipped back against his pillows, her eyes squeezed shut as she felt the pleasure coiling tightly in her lower stomach. His lips immediately moved to the crook of her neck, nipping and sucking gently at the skin there between whimpers of her name. It felt erotic, the both of them so turned on despite their exhaustion that they couldnât help their movements, desperate to experience the other falling apart.
Sheâd make it up to him later, when she could actually take her time with him and make his first time something special, something memorable. But for now, she was perfectly content with this.
âSpence Iâmââ Y/N gasped, tangling her fingers into his hair as she began to writhe underneath him. âIâm about toââ
Her orgasm washed over her like a cold bucket of water, yanking the air from her lungs and making her body tense up as she cried out his name and clung to him. Spencer groaned alongside her, pulling his head from the crook of her neck so that he could watch her in awe. The sight alone almost had him cumming, his movements growing frantic as he chased his pleasure.
Her soft whines urged him closer and closer to the finish line as he rutted against her, and all he could manage was a soft shout of her name before his climax took hold of him, his cock throbbing against her as he spilled into his boxers. He collapsed against her, thrusting weakly with small whimpers to ride out both of their highs before his hips finally stilled.
Their chests heaved as they laid together, catching their breath. Y/Nâs hands raked through Spencerâs hair, fighting to stay awake long enough so that they could clean up. When Spencer could finally move, he lifted up onto his forearms, pressing small, gentle kisses to her lips with murmured thank youâs before he climbed out of his bed to grab a towel from the bathroom. Once they were cleaned and stripped out of their cum-soaked clothes (to which Y/N and Spencer both giggled excessively about as they wriggled out of them), Spencer reached over to turn off his lamp.
Drained but happy, they collapsed into each otherâs embrace, winding together in Spencerâs bed and surrendering to the pull of sleep. Just before sleep claimed him, Spencer pressed a gentle, lingering kiss to Y/Nâs forehead, whispering, "I love you, my sweet girl."
A soft smile tugged at his lips when he heard her whisper back, "I love you too, my sweet boy."

SECRET SANTA ATTACK!! A beetle Loop for my gift victim @petrii-dish >:3c
I saw "insects" and "Loop" on their wishlist and neurons started firing. I'm always saying that I love when people creature-fy characters I like, but I've never done the creature-ing myself until now!
While going through Pep's blog for inspiration, I saw art of a woolly chafer beetle drawn by @/bowelfly. I'd never seen them before, and let me tell you they're the cutest bug I've ever seen and I was obsessed with them immediately. So round... so woolly...
As I was going down the woolly chafer appreciation rabbit hole, I started noticing traits I could incorporate into Loop's design. And thus; beetle Loop! :] (Although their antennae are more common cockchafer inspired. Their big antenna fans are so fancy!)
Lots of rambling and bonus art of a much more beetle-looking Loop under the cut, so be warned if you're squicked by bugs
The creatuuuure. Boop here was my first time trying to draw organic shapes with vanishing point guides and such. It went... okay...? No clue how people apply that to more complicated shapes like people though, heh.
Anyways, back to the humanoid Boops. The design elements I focused on were the antenna leaves looking like those shards of light you can see in the opening CG and some of Loop's portraits, the fluff and tibia spikes substituting for Loop's skin frizzles, wings with veins made up of constellations, and that very peculiar angular elytra shape. ;)
I had to stop myself from going ham and making the design super detailed, because I wanted it to look like something you could reasonably imagine in-game. I think I did alright in that regard! Their suspicious elytra ended up feeling fitting too, since only seeing them from the front in-game would make that foreshadowing more subtle. Also, while my decision to make them a beetle was 100% just "I really love that beetle I saw", I like the implication that the Universe was like, "Stars, you have a thick shell. Become a beetle." đ
I struggled for a bit trying to place clock hands in the first drawing, but then I started to think that a handless clock is kinda fitting? Love when I can cover laziness with symbolism. :P
Time taken on designing and the first two drawings was 31 hours and 34 minutes (I forgot to tally them separately whoops), and beetle Boop took 8 hours and 44 minutes. It was supposed to be a doodle (because common cockchafers are sometimes called "doodlebugs" get it-) but I'm SO bad at doodling. Got lost in the perspective ruler sauce.
Check out @isat-secretsanta-2024 for more cool art, and have a happy holiday! âĽ

I cannae even work most jobs, too sickly, too physically weak, too far from the cities and no car, cannae work with food either.
But they don't wanna give me disability benefits, at most they give me a super small rent discount on social housing and 400 a month how tf do i live with that. I haven't even gotten it yet cause bureaucracy but most doctors tell me they're not gonna give me any of that probably.
They making me go through all this worry and pain just to what, have one more retail person at some random ass clothes shop? Idk how they expect me to live, don't even think they care tbh.
How am i supposed to want to have relationships, to try to keep friendships when this world just makes me feel like a burden in need of saving like some egoist peasant.
being unemployed is rad but being unemployed in a world that treats employment as a necessity that completes you as a person while also having zero access to unemployment benefits is maybe not so good
