janeylowens: NO INVITE?
kiaracarrera: yes bitch. YES.
it’s five am. you were exhausted and right now, you were thanking your past self for slipping an energy drink into the cup holder before leaving your house.
your friends had piled into the twinkie, jj watching as they did so, silently from beside you.
sarah had clocked the action immediately, giving you wide eyes and a big grin.
he hadn’t asked, hadn’t mentioned it, just assumed it was implied. you tried not to read too much into it. you were still putting on an act for most of his friends, they would have questioned if he had left you alone.
he was playing music from your phone hooked up to the radio, stealing a few sips from your drink as you drove back to the island.
it had been almost been half an hour since you left the club, the conversation had died down long ago. the sun had started to rise when you spoke. "if you're okay with it, you can sleepover at my house."
the words felt awkward as soon as they left your mouth. you wanted to smack your head with your hand.
"holy shit, bunny. you read my fucking mind. you're a god send, i have no idea where my house keys are." jj snickered, a hand running through his hair.
you sighed in relief, a smile tugging at your lips.
he watched you for a moment, studying your features. "you tired?"
you shook your head, though you were. you had been dancing for practically five hours straight.
"you look tired." he chuckled, leaning towards you. you shifted in your seat.
"no, i’m totally good," you insisted, your gaze flickering toward him for just a second, your brows furrowing.
"seriously, i can take over and drive the rest of the way."
before you could respond, he traced the line of your forehead with a finger, and you swatted it away. "i’m fine, jj."
your tone came out sharper than you’d intended, making him recoil back into his seat, taking in a sharp breath.
the drive was silent after that. the tension hung in the air, a mixture of your guilt and jj’s uncertainty. the car felt stuffy, all too small.
you finally turned onto your street, driving alongside the water as the rising sun cast a golden glow over the houses on the shore.
"you can still sleep at mine, if you want to," you murmured, barely above a whisper.
he nodded, his eyes turning toward you as he studied your face.
it was quiet as you parked the car and led jj up to your bedroom. it was quiet as jj took in your space, the pastel pink wallpaper, the trinkets on your nightstand, and you busied yourself pulling open your closet, grabbing a chunky cardigan to cover the goosebumps on your arms.
since you’d snapped at him in the car, you’d been throwing around the idea of explaing why. it was only jj, after all.
you closed your eyes to prepare yourself, then turned to jj.
he chuckled when he saw your usual attire, barely loud enough for you to hear it.
"i’m sorry for snapping earlier," you sighed, crawling onto your bed and tucking your legs underneath you.
"it’s fine, don’t worry about it," he shrugged, leaning against your dresser.
"i want to tell you why." you said, your voice a little softer now.
he stayed silent for a moment, his brow furrowing just barely before he gave you a small nod, a silent reassurance.
"i'm scared of driving other people, it freaks me out. um, when i was a kid, i was riding with my grandma and i was screaming in the back so my grandma turned around to quiet me down and she swerved into another car."
jj's eyebrows raised in surprise, he moved from against the dresser to join you on your bed, sitting next to you, cautiously.
"my grandma only had minor injuries, and i only have a couple scars now, but we had to spend two days at the hospital. my cousin brought me a stuffed animal bunny, the bunny." you pointed towards the top of the bed, the small stuffed animal placed in the center of your pillows. a soft smile crept up on jj's face.
"my grandma isnt the best person in the world. she blamed me for the whole thing, she said some pretty awful things to me after the fact. i havent seen her since," you paused, shrugging your shoulders, "i was only six, i was just being a kid."
the silence lingered for a beat, until jj finally spoke.
"holy shit, yn."
you smiled, rolling your eyes as you turned your head away.
"your grandma is fucked up for that. like, really fucked up. that must have been so tough for you to go through, even as a kid."
you shrugged again, falling back against the bed. jj followed your movement, his arm outstretched to grab the bunny from where it rested.
"do you- should i stop calling you bunny? i mean, it must have bad memories connected to it. i totally will, just say the word." he said, hugging the bunny against his chest, as if holding onto the name, not wanting to let it go.
you watched him for a second. took in his tanned arms, the worn and scraggly bracelets on his wrist against your plush, clean stuffed animal.
"no, it's kind of annoying with my parents. you've made it into something fun, though." you nodded at him, a bried smile tugging at your lips.
"thanks for telling me," he said with a soft laugh,. "it makes me feel kinda special." he leaned on his side, trying to get a better look for you.
you rolled your eyes as you laughed along with him, grabbing the bunny from him.
"it's not a secret or anything, just hard to talk about sometimes." you brushed him off with a smile.
he just nodded, letting his eyes fall to the scar that ran through your eyebrow. letting yourself relax into the sleep you'd been fighting for hours, you closed your eyes and sighed.
"this is the weirdest afterparty i've ever been to." jj whispered, letting out a breathy laugh, turning back onto his back and settling against the bed.

masterlist

It had been a week since it happened. And next week you were supposed to see him again, the Chinese grand prix coming up. You were freaking out to put it mildly.
You had spent your off time at home, and you had shared what happened with Sophie. And as you suspected, she was shocked and a little grossed out. But you knew she would come around. And she did, so she asked you about all the details, when you told her, the two of you screamed and laughed together. Now the whole thing had turned into a sort of inside joke between you and Sophie.
But as the race week was coming up, you got more and more nervous. What was he going to act like now? You really didn’t want to face him, knowing what the two of you had done together. But you couldn’t stop thinking about it, day and night, it was seared into your brain. (But you didn’t want to stop thinking about it either.)

Walking into the paddock on Friday, you did your usual routine, unbothered by anyone. You made your way into the garage, and walked over to the workbench against the wall, and started looking through your tools.
You sorted through a few of them, getting them ready, knowing which ones you would need the most today.
You enjoyed getting into the garage a little earlier than the others, having some quiet, alone time. And getting in the zone. Focusing on your job so much that you didn’t notice someone walked in.
Lando walked into the garage, knowing you would be here. He only came here for you. He walked up behind you and looked over your shoulder, watching you picking up the different small tools.
You were so focused, but a familiar scent flooded your nose. He smelled so intoxicating, it literally made your knees weak. And the second it hit you, and you felt his hot breath at the back of your neck. You froze, and dropped the tool in your hand, making a clattering sound as it hit the table.
“Sorry, did I scare you baby?”
He was so close to your ear, and you could feel the smirk on his face.
You could not move, or utter a word. So Lando stepped to the side, and leaned his hip against the counter.
“I’m sorry, I was just curious to see what you were doing” He smiled sweetly at you, making your eyebrows furrow in confusion.
“I- uh, I was just sorting through my tools, getting the ones I need the most” You answered without thinking, still somewhat confused why he was being nice.
“Oh, ok” he nodded, looking towards the tools like he was thinking about something.
You felt your jaw clench, and your eyes stared daggers at him. Your brain was connecting the dots. Of course he wasn’t being nice to you, he was looking for ways to annoy you, and tease you.
He reached his hand out to grab a small screwdriver to look closely at it.
“What is this one for?” He looked up from the screwdriver to meet your eyes with a soft look.
He was not fooling you. Lando could see your whole demeanor had changed. And you could see the look in his eyes changed, for some reason he looked kind of worried? It knocked you off balance, and the look in your eyes softened.
“Sorry if I'm bothering you, I was just curious” He looked dejected as he went to put the screwdriver back in its place.
Before you had any time to think, your hands flew out to grab onto his hand before he dropped the tool.
“No, I’m sorry” “You’re not bothering me” Your anxious eyes met his, but he looked back down to where you were both holding the screwdriver, your eyes following after.
You let his hand go and let out an awkward chuckle. Your eyes looking everywhere but him. But he stretched his hand out to give you the screwdriver.
“So you want to tell me what it’s for?” His sweet smile had returned, as you were forced to meet his eyes again.
“Uhm- yeah sure!” You grabbed the tool from his hand and turned on your heel to walk over to the front left tyre suspension.
You crouched down so your face was closer to the suspension. You turned your head to look for Lando, not feeling him behind you. He was still standing at the counter, so you waved him over. A giggle escaping you when he finally got the hint and walked over.
Soon enough he was beside you, crouched down just like you. So you pointed a finger to where the suspension was connected to the car.
“You see those small screws there?”
He looked a bit closer before turning to you. “yeah”
“Yup” “that’s what this is for” you held the screwdriver up as you nodded.
He let out a small chuckle. “You could’ve just told me that over there” He pointed towards where the both of you had been standing earlier.
“Yeah, but I wanted to show you.” “It’s good to know your car” You smiled brightly at him.
“Yeah, I guess” he smiled back.
You were just looking into eachothers eyes, completely lost in eachother. Until someone spoke up.
“What are you guys doing?” You looked up to meet the eyes of Jonas, one of your fellow mechanics.
“Oh- um, I was just showing him what this screwdriver is for” You held the tool up to show Jonas, trying to act as normal as possible, not like you had just been drowning in those gorgeous eyes.
“Okayyy..” Jonas narrowed his eyes at the pair of you before walking further into the garage.
You turned your head when you felt Lando stand up. Meeting his eyes when he towered over you, he stretched his hand out for you. It took you a moment to register before you put your hand in his, and he pulled you to your feet.
Now standing in front of him, you saw his mouth open and close, like he was going to say something. Lando was at a loss for words staring at you. The soft look you had in your eyes as you just looked at him, he felt like no one had ever looked at him that way. But he finally managed to get some words out.
“I- I have to go” “see you later” He nodded, and left before you could even say anything.
When he came back to the garage, to get ready for FP1, you talked with him when he got into the car.
“Everything’s good?” you asked, making sure the car seemed good.
“Yeah” “perfect like always Y/N” He smiled up at you.
“good”... “great”... “alright” You said as you tried to find something else to focus on, walking away to try and pretend to do your job.
You watched him put on his helmet, and when he finished adjusting it, he looked over at you and gave you a wink before he closed the visor, and drove out of the garage.

End of the day you walked towards the exit, ready to head back to the hotel. You had walked out with Jonas, getting a ride with him to the hotel.
Walking to his car, he nudged your side with his elbow.
“Hey” “What’s going on with Lando?” “I have never seen him like that” He had a sly smirk on his face.
“I really don’t know” “He just asked questions about the car, and I answered” You tried to laugh it off, he could not know what happened between the two of you.
“Weird” He laughed back.
Lando was standing by his car door, just about to get in before he heard your sweet laugh. He turned his head and watched you and Jonas talking and laughing together. You were standing so close. Lando felt his jaw clench, and his knuckles turned white when he squeezed his fists.
He watched the two of you get into the car and drive off, smile still present on your beautiful face. A smile he felt should only be for him. An unfamiliar feeling tugged at his heart, a feeling he didn’t like. And he knew the only person who could fix that, would be you. So he sped off after you, towards the hotel .
You and Jonas arrived at the hotel before Lando, and you didn’t waste any time making your way to your hotel room, saying goodbye to Jonas when you walked out of the elevator.
Entering your room, You headed straight to the pile of clothes on your bed, your comfy clothes, that you had left there when you had to change out of them this morning. After taking off your bra and putting the comfy clothes on, you collapsed on your bed, exhausted from the long day. You reached for your phone, and opened tiktok. But not even halfway through the first tiktok, there was a knock at your door.
It was quite aggressive, and it didn’t stop knocking. You figured maybe Sophie had just gotten back, and had some gossip to share with you. So you hurried over to open the door.
You tore the door open to stop the harsh knocking, and expected to be faced with Sophie, but instead you saw an angry looking Lando standing in front of you. You jerked your head back in confusion, and went to ask what he was doing here. But he was quicker.
He took a step forward, making you step backwards so he didn’t collide with you. He shut the door behind him, now in your room.
“Is he here?” He asked, frantically looking around the room.
“What?”
“Is Jonas here?” He was now staring at you, a fire in his eyes.
“What the fuck are you talking about Norris?” “And what the fuck are you even doing here?” You felt your eyes narrow at him, anger bubbling up inside you.
“I saw the two of you getting in his car, laughing and shit” “So you two are a thing now or what?” He took a step towards you, now so close that you could feel his breath on your face.
“Oh my god Lando!” You threw your hands up in frustration and opened your mouth to say more.
“Is. He. Here?” His voice was so low, and his eyes were so dark when he looked down at you.
“NO!” You yelled back.
And before you could tell him to get the fuck out, he grabbed the sides of your face and smashed your lips against his.
You melted at the kiss, and you snaked your arms around his neck, pulling him even closer to you. You couldn’t control yourself around him.
Lando was so tense, and so aggressive. But the second you kissed him back, and held onto him. You felt him relax against you. The kiss immediately turning passionate and sweet.
But Lando was still jealous, and his hunger for you only grew as you kept kissing him back. He took slow steps forward, making you follow him towards the bed.
Before your legs hit the bed, you felt Lando grab onto the hem of your sweater and swiftly pulled it over your head, your tits bouncing from the sheer force he used.
His eyes immediately found your chest and he made the softest moan.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you” He muttered.
He tore his own clothes off, and yours. Until you both were completely naked. He wasted no time in capturing your lips again, his hands roaming all over your body, before they found their way to the back of your thighs, squeezing them to signal you to jump. And you did, no hesitation.
A moan escaped your throat when you felt his dick against your inner thigh. But you didn’t even have time to think about it before you back hit the soft mattress, as he threw you onto the bed.
Opening your eyes, you looked up to see Lando still standing there, looking at you with a hungry look in his eyes before he climbed onto the bed, and made his way between you legs.
Your legs wrapped themselves around his waist, but he kept enough space between you, so his dick wasn’t near you, making you whine. You just wanted him already. His eyes immediately found yours when you made that sound, catching him off guard.
“I didn’t know you needed me that bad babe” “Patience darling” He grabbed onto your jaw as he brought your face closer to his and whispered “Patience”.
You crashed your lips against his, tightening your hold around his waist, trying to pull him closer. When he felt what you were doing, he pulled back and looked down at you with dark eyes.
“So needy”
You felt his fingers softly grazing the inside of your thigh, so close to where you needed him. Your hips moved, trying to find his fingers. And he gave in, tracing a finger through your folds.
He pushed a finger slowly inside, making you throw your head back and moan. He saw the effect it had on you, and soon added a second finger. Slowly pushing them in and out. And when he started tracing circles on your clit with his thumb, you were a moaning mess.
You grabbed a hold of his forearm that was resting on your thigh, and you opened your eyes and met his. He had that same dark look that you were getting used to seeing, and his mouth was slightly open. It was like he was studying your every facial expression, seeing how much effect he had on you.
You went to close your eyes again, you climax getting close. But he quickly pulled his fingers all the way out, the loss of his fingers making you gasp.
And when you opened your eyes to look at him, you saw him slowly bring his fingers to his mouth, he sucked his fingers clean and let out a groan at the taste.
“Fuck, you taste so sweet”
Without warning his fingers entered you again, forcefully sliding in and out. It made you arch your back from the sudden pleasure. You squeezed your eyes shut and grabbed a hold of the sheets beneath you.
It didn’t take long until he was satisfied and pulled them back out. And before you could complain again, he was above you.
You opened your eyes to see his face hovering above yours, you looked deep into his eyes, completely mesmerized. Until you felt something wet on your lips. You looked down to see the fingers he just had inside you.
“Now be a good girl and open up”
And you did. Slowly opening your mouth and welcoming his fingers.
You could taste yourself, and it made you moan. Sucking his fingers completely clean, swirling your tongue around the two digits. You could see it in his eyes, just how weak you made him.
He went to pull his fingers out of your mouth, but before they completely left your mouth, his grip tightened around your jaw.
As he was holding on to your jaw, he looked deep into your eyes as he entered you, hard, until he bottomed out inside you. It caught you off guard and you let out a loud moan.
“Fuck” “I missed you so much sweetheart” His voice was low and rough.
He slowly pulled out of you, until his tip was the only thing inside you, before he slammed back into you, making your eyes roll to the back of your head.
He kept thrusting at a relentless pace, making your breathing uneven as he was slamming into you. His hold on your jaw softened, as he soon let his hand wander down to softly rest against the side of your throat.
He buried his head in your neck, making you hear every small sound he made. His breathing heavy, and small groans he let out. You wanted- no. You needed to hear more.
You wrapped your legs tighter around him, and your fingers raked up his biceps and shoulders, until they found the back of his neck.
You were clawing and grabbing at anything you could. And you arched your back as much as you could, the pleasure immense.
You whined in his ear. “Lando”
It made him lift his head out of your neck, his face red and sweaty. Some of his curls stuck to his forehead. He looked heavenly.
It made you grab the sides of his face, dragging him down so his lips landed on yours. It was sloppy and wet, but god, the way his mouth felt on yours was breathtaking.
Lando was the one to break the kiss, lifting his head to catch his breath. As he looked down at you, your mouth slightly open, your lips wet and pink, your pupils dilated as you looked deep into his eyes. It made him mutter out a string of curse words as he picked up his pace, chasing his orgasm.
He found that spot inside you that made you see stars, your own orgasm getting close. You pulled your bottom lip between your teeth, as you kept looking up at Lando, you couldn’t tear your eyes away.
Lando’s hand, which had been resting on the side of your throat, moved to wrap itself around your throat, and he tightened his grip. He didn’t make it difficult for you to breathe, but he was putting pressure that made everything feel so much better.
Your hands wrapped themselves around his forearm, nails digging into his skin. Your mouth opened as you let high pitched moans slip out.
“You like that huh?” He was almost grinning at you.
You couldn’t get words out, but a drawn out “mhm” came out of you.
Your orgasm was so close, as Lando’s pace had only picked up, and he was still slamming into you with so much force.
Lando felt it, your pussy clenching just a little bit more around him.
“You close? hm?”
“Yes” Was all you managed to get out, your eyes closing as you focused.
It took all the strength Lando had to slow his pace and soften his movement just enough to not make you cum yet.
Your hips moved to try and chase your orgasm, but when Lando felt that, his hold on your throat squeezed to get your attention.
Opening your eyes, you were met with Lando’s dark eyes. You couldn’t help but beg.
“Please let me cum” “Please Lando” You sound as whiny as you could, hoping he would give in.
“I will” “When you tell me who you belong to” His voice was deep and he sounded almost angry. But a smirk grew on his face when he felt your pussy clench again, just from what he said.
“You Lando” “I belong to you” You were giving him your all, desperate for him to let you cum.
“And who’s the one making you feel this good?”
“You Lando” “It’s all you” you moaned. “Please”
“Fuck sweetheart” “I can’t resist you when you beg like that”
His hand left your throat and circled around your waist, his palm spread on your back. He lifted you with him as he sat further up on his knees. The only thing holding you in this position was his hand, his other hand on the bed, holding the both of you up.
Your own hands grabbed onto his shoulder to hold yourself against him.
He started moving his hips again, still inside you. This new position made him go just a bit deeper, making you feel fuller than before. Your climax nearing quickly.
His head once again found the crook in your neck, and buried itself there making small sloppy kisses along your neck and shoulder.
Your hand flew up to grab onto his curls as he fucked up into you, until your climax finally hit. A drawn out moan escaping you as every muscle in your body tensed before they relaxed, finally getting that release.
You felt Lando’s teeth sink into your shoulder as he filled you up. A low groan coming from him.
He slowly let you sink back on the bed, collapsing on top of you, breathing ragged as one of your hands caressed the back of his neck.
You hadn’t felt this relaxed in months, his now soft breathing almost lulling you to sleep, until you hear him softly mutter against your skin.
“I can’t get enough of you"

You stirred awake as the brightness of the sun hit your face. Slowly opening your eyes, you looked out of the window to see the sun rising, it was gorgeous.
You felt so cozy as you laid tangled in your sheets. You closed your eyes again to just enjoy the quiet morning. But right as you did, you hear someone breath out a quiet sigh against your shoulder. Opening your eyes and turning your head, you were met with a still sleeping Lando.
His face was turned towards you and both of his arms were wrapped tightly around you. His curls were messy, and cute. He looked so peaceful.
You had never seen him like this, because usually he was being a cheeky bastard. But now, you couldn’t help but marvel at his features as the sun illuminated his face.
He distracted you, so it took you a moment before you realized he was in your bed, in your hotel room, cuddling with you. You must’ve fallen asleep last night, and he must’ve not left. Why did he not leave?
You kind of freaked out a little, and you needed to pee. So when Lando turned onto his back, one arm slipping away from you, you took your opportunity and slipped out of bed.
You grabbed a tshirt and underwear on your way to the bathroom. After you peed, you stood in front of the mirror as you washed your hands. Looking at yourself, you slipped the shirt over your head, and pulled your underwear on.
You decided to do your usual morning routine while you were in here. So you did your skin care, and brushed your teeth before you stopped to look at yourself again.
What were you going to do about Lando? This time, to stop your mind from overthinking it, you decided to just open the bathroom door and walk out.
Opening the door, Lando was facing away from you, still sleeping. So you turned around to close the door carefully.
When you turned back around, a sleepy Lando was looking back at you. You froze in your place, unsure of what to do. He slowly lifted the covers to where you had been previously laying.
“Come back in here” His voice was so gravelly and low, just incredibly sexy.
“Uh- I- um-”
“Come on”
Your body acted for you as you stepped towards the bed, before you slid under the covers. His arms wrapping around your waist to pull you into his chest. His head was resting on your shoulder, and he was actually snuggling into you. You didn’t realize how tense you were until he mumbled.
“Relax baby”
So you did. He was so warm and soft, it made you feel so safe and comforted as he was holding you. So you turned over to face him, sliding down so you could bury your face in his chest. You felt a small chuckle escape him, and one of his hands started tracing figures on your back.
You hadn’t noticed you fell asleep again until he softly asked.
“Do you have to be at the track any sooner than two?”
You left your place in his chest and looked up at him, you didn’t really understand what he said as you were still half asleep.
You saw a warm smile spread on Lando’s face. “Sorry, did I wake you?”
You lifted a hand to rub your eyes, “Yeah, but it’s fine”
He stayed quiet, just studying your face.
“But what did you say?” You dropped your hand and stared up at him.
“I just asked if you had to be at the track any sooner than two” You couldn’t place the look he had on his face.
“Oh” “Uh, no” “You?”
“No”
You didn’t really know what to say now. He had such an intense look on his face and you didn’t know what to do.
He leaned his head down to capture your lips in the softest kiss yet. It was a loving kiss, so foreign to come from Lando.
You melted against the kiss, humming against him as you let him lay you down on your back as he hovered above you, lips still attached. He was the one to break the kiss, lifting his head to look down at you.
“You want breakfast?”
“um- yeah” You smiled up at him, and nodded wildly.
He smiled back and lifted himself off to get out of bed.

You were sitting at a table outside of a cafe. The chair opposite you empty. You sat there staring off into space as you chewed on your bottom lip. Thinking about Lando’s sudden change in personality.
You didn’t have time to dwell on it too hard before a coffee was placed in front of you. You looked up to meet Lando’s eyes as he sat down across from you.
“Everything okay?” His eyebrows furrowed, he almost looked concerned.
“Uh- yeah!” “But how did you know this is my favorite coffee?” You pointed down to the cup in front of you.
A smile grew on his face. You could never get sick of seeing that kind smile.
“I pick up on things you know” He seemed so satisfied with himself as he took a sip of his own coffee, leaning back in his chair.

After a good Friday on track in Miami, you walked towards the garage on Saturday, sporting an unusually bright smile. Maybe the reason for it was the work environment?
Everyone in the garage had been in such a better mood this race weekend, you couldn’t put your finger on why. But, even Lando had a smile on his face most of the time. He was so much easier to work with, and started being really kind to the mechanics and engineers, and everyone basically.
The good mood was probably just because the team had been doing so good lately, and Miami was a great track for Red Bull. Yeah, of course it was just that.
Your thoughts were interrupted when you saw Sophie walking towards you. She looked confused and something akin to anger. It made you slow your speed as your smile dropped, worry setting in.
When she finally caught up with you she whisper-yelled at you. “Have you slept with Lando again?!”
She immediately figured out the answered when you looked down at the ground and mumbled a quiet “oh fuck”.
“Jesus Y/N” she sighed.
“I- uh- shit.” “It just happened one time ok!” Your eyes met her in a pleading look.
She didn’t answer, but relief washed over you when she cracked a smile and chuckled.
“Shit, this bad isn’t it?” She smiled even more at your question.
“No, actually not”
You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion at her answer.
“I just asked because I had to do some media work with Lando and Oscar, and Lando has never been that easy to work with. And he was smiling and laughing more than I have ever seen.” “And I know why” She nodded, seeming so secure in her reason.
“Oh that's good!” “But yeah, that's because he’s been getting good results lately and Miami’s going to be great for him no?”
“No” You looked at her even more confused.
“He’s more happy now, than when he got his first win. And the only thing that has changed around him since then, is that you have been sleeping with him.” She looked so smug, and so confident.
You let out a short laugh. “You’re insane Sophie” “You’re suggesting he’s happier because we have been sleeping together?”
“I’m not suggesting. I know”
“Bullshit” You scoffed. “I don’t have time for this Sophie, I have to get to the garage”
“I’ll join you!”
“Fine.” You rolled your eyes.
You walked into the garage with Sophie beside you as she talked about what media work she had for the rest of the day.
The second you walked towards where Lando’s car was parked, Sophie was interrupted.
“Y/N! there you are!” Lando was almost jogging over towards you, a warm smile on his face.
As he stopped in front of you, and looked down at you with such a soft look, making your breath hitch in your throat.
“We need to do the seat check, and you’re the only one who can get it right” He chuckled.
Your eyes flickered over to Sophie and you saw her smirking back at the two of you. Looking back at Lando, he just looked at you, like he was waiting for an answer.
“Oh- uh- Yeah” “Of course” You tried your best to not seem flustered.
Lando’s smile grew just a bit more and he nodded, making his way to get into his car. You looked back at Sophie and she whispered “I am so right” before she winked at you and turned to talk to some of the mechanics. .
Coming back to it, you walked over to the car and leaned over the halo, closer to where Lando was sitting.
“So, you think something needs adjusting?” You turned your head to look him in the eyes.
Your faces so close to each other as he looked back at you. And yeah, you had slept with him two times now, but the atmosphere was so different in a situation like this.
He quickly turned his head to look straight ahead before speaking.
“Yeah, just this bit here” He pointed at what he was talking about, and you nodded before standing up to go retrieve the tool you needed.
Coming back, you leaned back over the halo, and luckily it was in a place that was fairly easy to access while he was still in the car. So when you finished, you turned back to Lando.
“Like that?”
Lando didn’t answer, but as he looked at you, he slowly lifted his hand and tucked some hair behind your ear.
“Perfect” he whispered.
You could feel his breath on your face as you just stared back at him, stunned. And he just kept looking at you with those soft eyes that you were completely lost in.
Your ”staring contest” was interrupted when someone shouted for Lando. Finally being able to move, you stepped back and turned over to your workbench, and tried to shake it off. Your cheeks warm, you probably resembled a tomato.
You tried reminding yourself that he was still a dick he was probably just faking being nice so you would keep sleeping with him or something. Yes. That was definitely it.
After Lando left the garage with the person who was calling him, Jonas walked up to you.
“Is it just me or has Lando been weirdly nice lately?” He leaned towards you as he spoke quietly so no one would hear.
You turned to look at him, eyes wide, your facial expression betraying you. He leaned back and his eyebrows furrowed, clearly confused about your reaction.
You tried your best to brush it off like it was nothing. “Yeah, I just thought it was because he finally got his win, and is getting consistently good results” You forced a smile to try and seem normal, but your mind was running wild about what Sophie had said.
“Yeah sure” “That has to be it” He started smirking before he slowly walked away, still smirking at you. Your mind was panicking.

You walked into the Red Bull factory, bright and early in the morning, the warm spring sun making you mood ten times better.
As you walked past the trophy wall, you saw some people putting in two new trophies. One for first place, and one for second. Lando won in Miami, and Max came second.
You thought back to the podium where you stood underneath it all as you watched Lando get drowned in champagne, huge smile on his face. He looked irresistible up there. Good thing you didn’t get a moment alone with him after the podium. You probably would’ve folded like a lawn chair if you did.
All you had today was a bunch of boring meetings, and office work.
The day went by slowly, and when it was finally time to go home. You packed up everything into your bag. And while you stood there, you felt a presence beside you.
“I didn’t know you were going to be here today sweetheart” You could hear that familiar smirk in his voice. It made you roll your eyes.
You turned around and looked at him. He was standing so close, no doubt on purpose.
“Yes, you did” You crossed your arms over your chest.
“Now, how would I know that?” His smirk somehow grew.
“Why else did you come all the way over here to my desk?” You narrowed your eyes at him.
“Hope” He said softly, and the look in his eyes changed.
It took you aback. How he was able to change so quickly from his usual cheeky self, to sweet and kind. You didn’t get to reply before he spoke again.
“You wanna walk out together?”
“Um- Yeah sure” You grabbed your bag and walked beside him through the building.
Walking out of the doors, The two of you walked towards the car park, and stopped in front of Lando’s car. He looked over at you.
“Did you drive here?”
“Yeah” You smiled at him.
“Oh, okay” He sounded almost disappointed, but quickly brushed it away. “See you soon then!” He smiled big at you before getting into his car.
You just managed to blurt out “See you!” before he closed his car door, and drove off.
You stood there confused for a second, before you decided not to think too much about it and just get in your own car and drive home.

You had made yourself a nice dinner, and plopped down in front of the tv to watch your favorite comfort show.
After finishing, you put the dishes in the dishwasher, and your phone vibrated from your pocket. You pulled it out, and when the screen lit up, you saw the name “Lando Norris”.
“hey are you home?”
You felt your eyebrows furrow in confusion. But you still typed out a reply.
“yeah why?”
He responded right away.
“sorry, I’m just really bored and I want to see you”
“Lando…”
“do you just want sex?”
“no!” “I know it sounds like that haha but I just want company”
Your heart made the decision for you. Fuck it.
“here’s my address;”
It didn’t take long before you heard a knock on your door, and you opened it for him to come in.
After he stepped inside, you closed the door behind him. And while your back was still turned to him, you felt his hands wrap themselves around your torso, holding you tight against him. And his forehead rested on your shoulder. It made you stop in your tracks, confused.
“A-Are you okay?” you asked softly.
“Yeah” “I am now” His voice muffled because of your sweater.
You didn’t really know what to do, so you stayed still.
Eventually he said something.
“You smell good” He mumbled as he buried his head further into your shoulder.
“Oh- um- thanks” You felt your face heat up. Strange how a compliment like that had such an effect on you.
He just kept holding you, and you had been standing like this for a good few minutes now.
“You wanna go sit down on the couch?”
“Fine” He hesitated, but slowly pulled back until you could step aside and make a move towards the couch.
Sitting down, you reached forward to pick the remote off the table while you felt Lando sit down beside you. You pressed play on what you had been watching earlier, and turned over to look at Lando with a questioning look.
He looked back at you with an innocent look, like he was kind of intimidated by your stare.
"So.. Why did you really want to come?” You raised an eyebrow at him.
“I honestly just wanted to spend time with you” He breathed out.
“Weirdo” You whispered while you leant back into the couch. You heard Lando let out a chuckle.
You shifted your eyes to the tv, and tried to pay attention to it. But from the corner of your eye, you could see Lando shuffling closer to you, until your shoulders, and thighs were touching.
You turned your head to look up at him. He was already looking down at you with a look in his eyes that made you feel warm and fuzzy. That man could make you feel so many emotions just from his eyes alone.
Despite wanting to drown in his eyes, you turned your head away, and looked back at the tv.
Lando was sitting there, still looking at your face studying the tv. He feared he might have pushed it too far, coming here, sitting so close. But the feeling of you leaning into his body silenced his mind quickly, and he made himself a little more comfortable as he relaxed against you.
You had been sitting in silence for what felt like 15 minutes, until you decided to say something.
“Sorry if this is really boring” “You want to do something else?” You looked over at him through the corner of your eye.
“No I’m not bored” “But is there something you had in mind?” He looked back at you.
You had just the thing. You stood up and walked over to where your Nintendo switch was, in the stand by the tv. You hooked everything up and grabbed the controls, walked back over and handed one to Lando.
“Mario Kart”
Lando’s smirk grew, “Oh baby, you know I’m going to win.” His eyes giving you a sympathetic look.
“Oh Lando..” “You just wait and see pretty boy” You gave him that same sympathetic look, and your hand reached up to softly hold the side of his face.
Lando could feel his heart beat faster. The way you looked at him and held his face. And when you called him “pretty boy” he was done for. He really considered letting you win just by the sheer confidence radiating from you. But when you booted up the game and started choosing the character, his usual competitive personality came back, and he would do everything he could to beat you.
You were on the last track, and the two of you had been so even, so whoever won this track, won the game. Lando was sweating, he would say he was surprised that you were this good, but he honestly wasn’t.
You were in first place, Lando hot on your tail. And you had just entered the last round, and Lando could see his victory slipping away. He looked over at you and saw how focused you were, your tongue sticking out of your mouth in concentration.
He saw his perfect opportunity to strike. So he bumped his knee against yours.
“Hey!” “No fair!” You kept your eyes on the screen as you tried to keep your focus.
Lando then decided to do the worst, and threw away everything he worked so hard for when one of his hands left the controller and stretched out to grab onto your waist. Making your whole body jolt with the contact.
And soon after, he started tickling you. You tried your best to make it to the finish line, you really did. But you had no control over how your body reacted to the insistent tickling.
So the controller flew from your hands, as you tried to stop his arms from moving, to no use. He kept going, now, somehow hovering above you.
Finally, he gave you a moment to breathe, his hands still holding on to your sides, as he just looked down at you trying to catch your breath.
You closed your eyes, focusing on your breath. You felt Lando bury his head in the crook of your neck, and his arms circled your waist so he was holding around you, making you arch your body up against him. He put his whole body weight on yours as he laid down on top of you. And you felt him slowly breathing in and out against your neck.
You didn’t know what to say or do, so you just let him be. You just closed your eyes and figured you might as well enjoy the comfort, because it was really really comfortable. You lifted your arms and carefully wrapped them around him, so they were resting on his strong back.
When Lando felt your arms wrap around him and rest on his back, he automatically buried his head just a bit more, and tightened his grip around you, so you were even closer than before, if that was even possible.
You could hear the quiet background music still coming from the unfinished game. And you could both hear and feel that Lando’s breath was slowing down, and his body relaxing against you.
Lando was almost falling asleep. He tried to fight it, but you were just so comfortable. And he didn’t want to admit it, but just the fact that he was holding around you, and you him, was making him feel safe and sound. Lando was on the verge of snoring, and you were noticing.
“Lando” “Are you falling asleep?” You softly whispered, a question you already knew the answer to.
“No” you felt him mumble against your skin. The sound in his voice making it clear that he was lying.
Lando felt your body shake as you let out a short giggle.
“Was it that obvious?” You felt him smile against your skin.
“You were almost snoring” “So, yes.” You kept giggling.
Lando let out a short chuckle before he lifted his head so he looked down at you.
“Well, It’s your fault that you’re so comfortable” He smiled. Such a sweet smile you loved that you were seeing more of.
Your smile mimicked his as you looked up at him. Lando’s eyes quickly darted across your face, looking at all of your features, committing them to his memory. You looked angelic. Your smile warming up his heart that had grown a bit too cold in recent years. He was already feeling the effects of your warmth. His smile being more common than it used to be. And portraying a kindness to try and match yours. If anyone knew how he felt, they would say he was falling in Love.
Your smile faded, but a soft look still remained on your face. The way that Lando was looking at you, it was like you were completely naked and vulnerable in front of him. But the emotion behind his eyes showed only comfort and admiration. So it wasn’t uncomfortable, quite the opposite.
In that moment, you hoped he would never stop looking at you like that. And to Lando, he would never even want to stop looking at you at all.
Without either of you noticing, your faces had gotten so close, to the point where your lips were just barely touching. Your hands came up to cradle both sides of his face, and the comfort of the feeling, made Lando capture your lips in a soft kiss.
He was in control, and he was kissing you oh so slowly and carefully. Lando had turned so soft and kind, like he cared for you, deeply. He kissed you like you were fragile, Which you both knew from experience that you weren’t. You couldn’t take it anymore.
One of your hands traveled up to tug at his hair, and the other wrapped around his bicep that was beside your head, nails digging into the skin, hoping it could signal him into doing more.
Either Lando didn’t pick up on your signs, or he did it on purpose. But that man did nothing to heat up the kiss. If anything, he almost kissed you slower.
So you decided to wrap your legs around his waist, your core meeting the bulge in his pants. Unfortunately, he was only half hard, but that was something you intended on changing in a matter of seconds.
You started moving your hips slowly, up and down against his length, it solicited a small hum from his throat. But that was all it did. Somehow Lando kept his composure.
But you could feel his dick twitching in his pants. The friction you received from it was making you quietly moan into his mouth. You were going to break him. Make him snap.
You disconnected your legs from him, and you almost heard him whine at the loss of contact. Both of your hands landed on his chest, and you gave a little push, signaling him. He sat up on his knees, and looked down at you, his eyes hooded.
You sat up on your knees in front of him and gave him another small shove in the chest. “Lay down.” You breathed out.
He did what you said, and layed down on his back, looking up at you with anticipation. You lifted yourself so you could sit back down over his thighs, straddling him.
You sat far enough back that his now very obvious bulge was right in front of your core.
You looked back up to find Lando’s eyes and the darkened, familiar look you saw in them, made a shiver run down your spine.
As you kept eye contact, you brushed your fingertips over his clothed dick. It made his eyes flutter close, and he tilted his head all the way back, his neck more exposed.
You flattened your palm over the bulge, and moved your hands up and down along the length, in a slow and soft pace. You could see the veins on Lando’s neck getting more visible, as he was straining himself, trying to chase the movement of your hand with his hips.
His breathing was ragged, and his eyes squeezed shut. And small, choked whimpers came from him. He looked so pretty.
You decided to give him what he wanted. And when Lando felt your hand disappear, his eyes shot open to beg you for more. But when his eyes landed on you, you had already opened the button on his pants, and dragged the zipper down.
Lando didn’t have a moment to register it, before your hand was wrapped around his length. A guttural moan came out of him, eyes squeezing shut again.
While your hand was starting to slowly move up and down, with the other, you wrapped your fingers around the base of his cock. Moving further and further down to hold on to his balls.
You could tell you were doing a good job, just by the amount of sounds coming from Lando. Both his hands had formed fists, his knuckles white as he was doing everything in his power to not snap.
You swiped your thumb across the tip, collecting the precum that had seeped out. His breath shuddered, and he opened his eyes to look at you with a pleading look.
It almost made you do exactly what he wanted, almost. But instead, you stopped your movements, and decided to torture him a little.
So you made your way to stand up and walk off. But the second your feet were on the ground, and your back turned to him. His arms wrapped around your waist, and he pulled you back down.
You were both sitting on your knees, your back against his chest, and you could feel him poking against your backside. You felt heat flow to your core just at the thought of what he was going to do now.
Lando grabbed on to the hem of your shirt, and tore it off. His hands immediately finding your bra, unclasping it, and throwing it towards where your shirt went.
His hands forcefully grabbed your breasts and he ground his hips into your ass, moaning into your ear.
You could do nothing but wait for his next move. One of his hands slowly traced along your stomach, making its way down to the hem of your pants, while his other hand was wrapped around your torso, holding you tight against him.
His hand found the button on your pants, and unbuttoned it with one hand, and slowly slid down the zipper.
His chin was resting on your shoulder, as he looked down to see his hand sliding into your panties.
You threw your head back at the feeling, resting it on his shoulder. One of his fingers found your hole, and collected the wetness there.
“Oh, so wet” He cooed in your ear.
His finger found your clit as he started circling it slowly. Your mouth had opened, as you let all of your sounds spill out.
Soon he added more pressure, and his touch was more focused. If he kept it up, it wouldn’t be long before you came.
You tilted your head so your mouth was close to his ear, and you whimpered. “fuck Lando” “Please keep going” You begged.
Quickly, without warning, he pulled his hand out. You whined in complaint.
“Not so fun now, is it?” He spoke directly in your ear.
You didn’t even have time to reply before he was pulling your pants down to your knees, and instructing you to lift them, so he could take them all the way off.
You did what he said, leaning your upper body forward on the couch, ass up towards him.
After he tore yours off, you turned your head over your shoulder, to see him hurrying to take his own off.
His hand landed on your back, pushing your upper body further into the couch, your face squished in the cushions.
Both of his hands slid down to your ass, and grabbed it firmly, enjoying the sight. And shoved you even more, so he could see more of you.
You couldn’t see what he was doing, but you felt one of his hands slide further towards your core. And then you felt how close he was when he spoke.
“God, you’re beautiful” He was in awe, just looking at you.
But soon, his finger found your wet hole, and slowly slid inside. You sighed into the couch cushion, and moved your hips back onto his finger, taking in as much as you could.
He couldn’t take it anymore, he needed to be inside you. He quickly removed his finger, and you were about to complain. But before you could get a word out, his hands grabbed onto your hips and pulled you back towards him. His dick slid inside so well, filling you up just like you wanted. The feeling almost making you scream.
He let out a loud groan, finally getting the feeling of you being wrapped around him again. He had a tight grip on your hips as he pulled you back to meet his hips everytime he shoved himself inside you.
His thrusts were getting rough and hard, and you were loving every second of it. Him in complete control, and you babbling incoherent sounds into the cushions.
You felt the heat build up inside you, and you were getting close. Lando kept his pace up and you could feel his balls slapping against you, the sound of your skin slapping together and both of you moaning was unholy.
You felt Lando lean forward, arm wrapping around your waist, and the other around your chest, so his palm was flattened right against your beating heart. You didn’t even have time to think about what he was doing, the new angle making you see stars.
Lando pulled your body up as he sat back on his knees. your back against his chest. Just like you were earlier.
He held you tight against him, as he now fucked up into you. You didn’t think the angle of him inside you could get any better, but oh, how wrong you were.
You heard Lando swearing under his breath, and you leaned your head back against his shoulder, a moaning mess, and so close. “Lando..” “I’m clo-”
You didn’t get to finish your words before you felt the hand that was wrapped around your waist, slide down to circle his middle finger around your clit. You almost screamed out, the pleasure almost being too much.
And when you felt his other hand wrap around your throat and squeeze, you were done for. Your eyes rolling into the back of your head as it all came crashing down.
Your thighs were shaking, and your walls were constricting around him, milking him for all he was worth, which sent him over the edge.
He let out a soft whimper as he came, the sound alone almost making you cum for a second time.
His arms wrapped tightly around your middle, almost hugging you as his forehead rested against your shoulder.
He took some deep breaths, breathing in your scent, and hummed against you. You felt him growing soft inside you, and some of your fluids started running down your thighs.
You felt Lando softly lift your hips so he could slide out of you, the emptiness making you whine. He chuckled before he kissed your shoulder and stood up. You collapsed forward on the couch, too tired so stay sitting on your knees.
You heard Lando walk away towards the bathroom, and soon after, you heard the shower start. You furrowed your brows, a bit confused. Kind of a dick move to just hop in the shower and leave you collapsed on the couch.
You didn’t even hear Lando walk back out until you felt his fingers softly gracing your arm as he asked you; “You think you can stand up?”
You turned your head and looked up at him, you saw a glint in his eyes when he looked at you, no doubt caused by how absolutely fucked out of your mind you looked.
You softly nodded against the soft pillows and muttered out a “Maybe” as you lifted yourself up and tried to stand up. Lando’s hand held onto your bicep just in case you needed any help. And he looked like he was ready to catch you if your knees even buckled.
Which they did, and Lando immediately wrapped his free arm around your waist, holding you up with such a force that your toes were the only thing touching the ground.
After he just fucked you like that, he was so soft and caring. You really liked this side of him, and silently wished you could see more of it.
Lando’s eyes searched yours with a hint of worry. But they softened when you reassured him you were fine. But he kept an arm wrapped around you as he walked the two of you towards your bathroom, where the shower had been heating up.
He helped you step inside, and followed after you. And the two of you enjoyed a nice warm shower together, him holding around you almost the entire time, constantly worried your legs would give out.

You were softly awakening, feeling your hair being brushed behind your ear, and soft fingers tracing your face. You slowly opened your eyes to find his eyes looking back at you.
Lando had a lovesick smile on his face. “You look so beautiful in the morning” His voice was deep and raspy.
You felt yourself blush and you lifted the covers to hide your face.
Lando sat upright and lifted one of his hands to try and tug the cover away, “No, don’t hide” “I want to see you”
You peeked your eyes over the covers, seeing nothing but truth behind Lando’s eyes. You lowered the covers.
“Thank you baby” His smile grew, and you saw his eyes searching your face, like he was trying to count the freckles on your skin. It gave you a moment to do the same, now really noticing the moles beside his nose, and the ones scattered across his cheeks.
You noticed his face coming closer to yours, and when you met his eyes you saw how he was looking at your lips. You sat up and met him halfway, reaching up to hold his face, dragging him back down. He threw out an arm to hold himself above you, leaning more into the kiss.
Lando was the one to pull back, and looked at you with a glint in his eye, like he knew something you didn’t.
Before you had time to think about your words, your mouth opened.
“Why are you so nice now?” You saw his mouth frown slightly, the sight making you wince. You wanted to take it back.
You opened your mouth again to try and fix your mistake, but Lando was quicker.
“I know..” “I have been thinking about it myself” He sighed and laid down beside you, and quickly glanced at you before he looked anywhere but you.
You saw that he was struggling, regret seeping into your veins. “I’m sorry Lando, I didn’t mean it” “You don’t have to say anything” “I’m so sorry” You carefully looked at him, wanting nothing more than to smack yourself for talking before thinking.
“No, no” “I’m just trying to collect my thoughts. I’m not that great with words” He let out an awkward chuckle.
His eyes finally met yours again, and you could see the vulnerability behind Lando’s eyes. He smiled softly before speaking again.
“My last few seasons at McLaren were not good. The car was not working for me, and I wasn’t doing good mentally, so I really started to spiral. I made the mistake of not talking about it, and that only made it worse.” “It made me angry and resentful. Which made me lose the people close to me.” “I got so used to being like that, thinking it was the best solution. And then I made the move to Red Bull, it made it better in the sense that the car was better, I was less miserable. But It still didn’t change my attitude and anger. Thinking that if I went back to being the old me, it would hurt me.”
“So when we slept together the first time, it made me feel so confident.” He smiled sheepishly at you.
He continued. “And when we slept together that second time, it made me feel unstoppable. And that morning, I was so comfortable around you that I didn’t even think about how I was acting. It was such a nice morning. The nicest one I’ve ever had.” You felt yourself blush.
“And after that day, it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I found happiness in everything, something I haven’t felt in a long time. It never even crossed my mind about my change in attitude, until people asked me about it.” “And when I thought about it, I just thought about you.” His eyes no longer met yours, a shyness about Lando that you had never seen.
“When I’m with you, I feel like myself again”
Lando couldn’t bear to look at you. A realization hit him about what he just told you. He just started talking about his feelings, and he had told you everything, something he didn’t think he would ever do.
Lando felt your soft hand on the side of his face, and he felt you now laying on top of him, hugging him. You buried your face in his neck. You were speechless. Lando had said he wasn’t good with words, but that was a complete lie.
He had confessed something to you that no one ever had. No one had ever told you that you were the reason they could feel like themselves. You didn’t really know how to feel about that.
Lando started to feel something wet hit the sides of his neck. His eyes shot open in realization. “Are you crying?” He asked you with so much concern in his voice.
Oh shit, you got caught. You tried to carefully keep your breathing steady as you slowly shook your head.
“Y/N, look at me please” He almost whispered.
You slowly lifted your head to look at him, and when your eyes met his, you could see the worry in them.
His hands cradled the sides of your face, and a thumb flew out to swipe away a falling tear.
“Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong” More worry found its way in Lando’s eyes.
“No” You softly shook your head as you whispered.
You lifted a hand to hold on to one of his. “No one has ever said something like that to me before” You let out a small breath before you continued.
“Thank you Lando” You sighed, a soft smile on your face.
His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Why are you thanking me?”
Your smile grew. “You just bared your soul to me, Lando.” “And you told me that I make you feel like yourself again.”
“Yeah, so if anything, I should thank you, for listening to me” His thumb swiped across your cheek again.
“Lando. You shouldn’t have to thank me for listening to you.” “I would never want to stop listening to you”
“Please never leave me” He said it like he was actually begging you. His eyebrows furrowed.
“I wouldn’t even dream about it” You leaned in to give him a soft kiss.
And when you pulled back to look at him. You started to recognize the look in his eyes, it was like he was looking at the world. The universe. And he found that in your eyes.

Who's crying? not me! (yes I am.)

this is cherry when she unlocks makeouts and isn’t scared of peter anymore fnnfnfnd
peter wobbles when you wrap your arms around his neck, appearing from nowhere and hanging off him. he's in the middle of talking to a brother, but still holds an arm around your back to steady the both of you.
'right, right, uh huh. it's like- wait, did he fucking tell you about,' peter's brain lags slightly when a wet kiss is placed at the base of his neck. '- the car? not only did he dent the fucking bumper but then he tried to tell...' his voice cracks at the end, peter was unprepared for the light nibble you'd give him.
peter clears his throat and continues, he tightens his grip around your waist. he's telling you to calm down without words. '-tell ryan it was there when he took the car that morning.'
conversations over. you waste no time and bounce up on your toes to meet his mouth, peter's caught off guard but he shouldn't have been, kissing him has been your new favorite thing. especially because he gets so pliant when you're the one initiating.
'hey, c'mon, you had him all week. let me get ten minutes with parker.' peter thinks that's fair, you've been all over him recently and he’s had zero complaints. his brothers on the other hand... are starting to notice his absence from the group.
peter pushes at your hips, he's pushing you away, he's revoking his kisses. it won't do, you turn to glare at his brother, you keep peter tight against you.
'he's mine.' you hiss out the words and peter almost drops to the ground because he's never had a girl so possessive over him and having it be you was the hottest thing he's ever witnessed.
'there's enough of me to go arou-'
'no.' it's just as cold as your earlier statement, no one is going to take your favorite thing away from you. peter flashes his brother a weak smile and holds his finger up, then he brings his head down to whisper in your ear.
'give me a few minutes with my friend. i'll come find you in a second.' you tug at his shirt, 'no.' peter kisses your temple and gently brings his hand around his back to try and gently pry you off.
'c'mon, cherry. your friends are here, go say hi for a minute.' you latch down when peter tries to grab your wrist, you've got a vice grip. 'no! i wanna kiss you.'
peter's brother is watching him fall right into your hands, he channels some of that frat boy edge from last year and breaks your hold. it's like he just committed a cardinal sin. 'we're in public. no more kisses, go find your friends.'
you turn into a grumpy mess and cross your arms over your chest. 'you never wanna do things when i want! it's always you and what you want and your rules and your game and... and... you suck! find someone else to kiss tonight!'
you stomp off, then turn right back around and point at him. 'that's me being upset. if you kiss someone else tonight i will fucking kill you. but- go kiss someone else cause it won't be me!'
peter watches you leave his eyesight and closes his eyes when his friend snorts at him. 'well, you know what? i've never seen a girl so desperate to makeout with you.' he punches peter’s shoulder as he jokes around. 'i thought you were better than a 'put something in her drink' type of guy.'
peter rolls his eyes. 'yeah, yeah, yeah. like you wouldn't be first in the lineup if you woke up with tits.' his brother raises his hands up, 'i dunno, man. that 'he's mine' comment has me second guessing it.'
'fuck, i know. where the fuck did that come from?'
'no idea. it was kind of hot though.'
'okay.' peter's done with this part of the conversation and what his brother finds hot about you. peter moved right back in on the semi- car thief and was filled in on what he missed out on while he was mia. peter doesn't think he missed much, you were much more entertaining than an arm wrestling competition.
ten minutes later and his brother nods towards the party behind them. 'go find your girl, i'm gonna go try to find my own possessive princess.'
you're still upset when peter approaches, he aims for a kiss on the cheek, it's a bad move and you're swatting at him to back up. 'oh no, not happening, no sir. you told me no more kisses and i said it's always up to you when it's convenient and you let me walk away.'
peter frowns, 'did you want me to run after you?'
'yes! i wanted you to tell me that wasn't true and you respect what i want too.' peter cups your cheeks to force you to keep your eyes on his.
'i respect what you want. and i'm sorry, cherry, but i'm not going to run after you. part of a relationship is communication, when you walk away from me i assume you want space, not that you want to be followed. if you have an issue you need to hash it out with me, not expect me to fill in the blanks.'
'so you don't care?'
'i do care. i care a lot, cherry. but i also have other friends and obligations and i can't always drop them for you. but that doesn't mean you have to stomp off and expect to get your way.'
you look to the side, you're bad at this relationship stuff and you're glad you have peter here to guide you. it doesn't mean you always like it. 'but you're mine.'
you have no idea how that makes him feel. 'i am?' he's craving more of your possession, he wants to know just how much you need him. 'of course you are! you're mine and i'm yours and when i want a kiss i want you to kiss me, it's very simple.'
peter perks up, 'is it?' you huff up at him, your hands wrap around his wrists. 'yes.' peter would be very, very dumb to disagree. but he also has some boundaries.
'alright, i hear you and i'm glad you're communicating with me. personally, i'm not a huge fan of pda, but you are. if you want a kiss, i'll give you a kiss. but no makeouts or groping, can we agree on that?'
you almost blind peter with your smile, you nod quick and fast. 'yes, yes, yes! look at me go, petey! communicating and compromising! i'm gonna freaking rock this girlfriend stuff.' you brush a hand over his shirt, smoothing out a small wrinkle.
'all thanks to my practice boyfriend.'
peter feels numb. 'practice boyfriend?' you grin, 'yeah. you're the pop quiz before the test, so, thank you.' peter drops his hold, you frown and reach for his hands but peter crosses them over his chest so you can't.
'i'm not doing this to pass you off to another guy, cherry.'
you raise an eyebrow, 'then who are you passing me off to?' peter's not the best at communication either because he still can't get the 'i'm in love with you' off his tongue.
'i don't know. what was all of that about i'm yours and you're mine?' you 'ooh' at him and do a little spin, peter feels his heart thump three times as hard.
'not ready to give me up yet, parker?'
you don't have to ask for a kiss, peter's already doing it for you. you're breathless when he pulls away.
'never.'

Streamer Games
Vinnie Hacker x afab!reader
Warnings: p in v sex, vinnie is a munch obvi, cursing, minors dni please!
A/N: honestly i'm just horny, if there are any facts that aren't true it's artistic expression ok enjoy
You had been invited to the Streamer Games a few weeks ago and said yes. Ludwig was a good friend of yours, and you wanted to support any way you could.
But then you found out Vinnie Hacker would be joining too. And you were shitting your pants.
You had had a crush on him for a while, but never actually spoken to him. And you were so scared you would make a fool of yourself if you did talk to him, so all throughout the event you tried ignoring him as best you could, while still stealing glances from afar.
That's until it came time to do the dunk tank. Your team mates knew of your crush and without your knowledge had planned it so you were the one to try and get Vinnie in the water. And you hated them for it.
He was sat shirtless on the seat in the tank, swinging his legs back and forth and you had a hard time not looking at him. The other team shot the first shot and missed, so now it was your turn.
You took a deep breath and fiddled with the ball in your hands, then focused deeply on the target. You put in all your strength and shot the ball, hitting he target straight on, making Vinnie fall in the water.
He came up from the water, drenched completely, using his hands to push his wet hair out of his face and he had a huge smiled plastered on his face and you were pretty sure you fell in love right there.
The game went back and forth and you had successfully gotten Vinnie in the water three times, each time he seemed to get more and more attractive to look at and you had to fight every urge to stare at his muscly body.
The round was over and your team won, so you turned around and cheered with your team, but suddenly felt a presence next to you.
"I know you did that for your own gain." Vinnie said lowly in your ear, with a wicked smile on his lips. You turned to look at him, maybe to protest, but he was gone before you could rebuttle his claim. He rubbed the towel in his hands into his hair and went to put on his t-shirt again.
You were frozen solid in your spot, because not only did Vinnie Hacker talk to you, he suggested you only won because you wanted to see him wet. And you kind of hated him for that. It was true, but why did he have to say it?
A few hours later, when the even was over and the afterparty commenced, and you were a few drinks in, you eyed the crowd and found Vinnie talking to Ludwig. You waited a bit nearby to see how long the conversation between them would last, and when Vinnie walked away from the group, you hurried over to him.
"Excuse me, but what exactly were you implying earlier when you said i dunked you for my own gain? I was on a team and we were playing to win!" You exclaimed in the loud club, and he smirked. He grabbed your arm and dragged you into the bathrooms.
"I know what sports determination is, and that was not it. You were hungry." He said and it took you by surpirse. He leaned in closer.
"You wanted to see me in that water, you didn't give two shits about winning." He leaned in even closer, backing you up against the wall, and you felt like you were being cornered.
"Why don't you just admit it? You think i'm hot, don't you?" He asked, that damned smirk returning. He placed a hand on the wall above your head and you looked up at him. He cocked an eyebrow questioningly and you looked down, nodding shamefully. He placed a finger under your chin and lifted you head so you were looking at him again.
"See? That wasn't so hard now, was it?" He asked, eyes fixated on your lips. You shook your head slowly and he smiled again.
"What do you suppose we do about it?" He asked, now looking in your eyes. You got incredibly shy, but the finger on your chin prevented you from looking down so you opted to close your eyes and exhale nervously.
"Awhh, are you shy pretty girl?" He asked and you nodded slightly, face turning impossibly red.
"Don't worry, i'll take the lead." He said, grabbing your hand and dragging you out of the bathroom, through the club, saying hi to a few people on the way out the door and once you were out he wrapped his big arm around you and walked you to his hotel not long from the club.
As you stepped inside, you looked around the room. It was big, with a balcony out to a little courtyard filled with flowers and green plants, the bed was huge and had black linen on it. He closed the door behind you and then walked in front of you, and you looked up at him.
"I need to know, do you want to do this?" He asked and you paused, not really knowing what to say. He hadn't explicitly said what he wanted to do, yeah you could guess, but that's impossible. Why would he sleep with you? Before you could spiral any further, he leant down and kissed your cheek.
"Is something wrong?" He asked, eyes filled with worry that he had mistaken the signals.
"No, i think i'm just a little in disbelief." You said and he cocked his head confused.
"Disbelief of what?" He asked, one hand running up and down your arm.
"Why would you wanna do this with me? I'm nobody." You said, laughing awkwardly. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"I don't think you're a nobody. I think you're the most beautiful woman i've ever seen." He said matter-of-factly and your lips began to smile. You had never thought this would actually happen and now that it was he was also saying all the right things. You looked up at him, big smile on your face.
"Then I'd say yes." You said, studying his features. His eyes were questioning.
"Yes what?" He asked and you chuckled.
"Yes i wanna do this." You said, tucking a little on his tank top, a bit more of his chest tattoo showing. He smiled and leant down, capturing your lips in a small kiss. He broke apart again, looking at your face and cradling it in his hands, before going in for a nother kiss. You ran a hand down his chest, feeling every single muscle on your way down. You inched your hand under the shirt and felt his warm skin, the kiss growing deeper and deeper until you were just a miss of hands and wet kisses, not being able to get enough of each other. He pulled off the shirt he was wearing over the tank top and you helped him get off his tanktop, briefly disconnecting and you let yourself marvel over the beauty of his chest.
"Like what you see?" He asked, that cocky smile on his face again and you hummed a yes before connecting your lips again, this time with determination. He felt on the back of your dress for the zipper and pulled it down, letting the dress fall to the ground and was surprised when he found that you were not wearing a bra.
"Wow you are going to be the death of me." He said, and you laughed as you stepped out of the dress. He grabbed your waist and lifted you with ease, placing you on the kitchen counter, his hands squeezing you. You giggled at the feeling and he used the opportunity to kiss down your neck. Your giggles quickly were replaced with moans as he bit small love bites all the way down your chest, lowering your body down along the counter as he went further south. He stopped at the edge of your panties, looking up at you.
"Can i take these off please?" he asked and you muttered a quick 'please', which he happily obliged. He hooked his fingers into the waistband and tugged them down, the fabric getting a little stuck on the wet patch that had formed in them and he groaned, quickly tossing them aside and grabbing your thighs to throw them over his shoulder.
"Fuck you smell so good, can't wait to taste you." He said and you moaned. He spread your legs and ran a thumb down your slit, eliciting another moan from your lips. He used his thumb to massage your clit softly, then ran his tongue along your slit a few times.
"Fuck, even better than i imagined." He said and you gribbed on to the edge of the counter, bracing for more. He was licking you so good you barely knew your own name, and you definitely didn't hear how loud you were being.
His tongue started to enter your hole and he fucked you with it so soft and slow you couldn't contain yourself. You ran your hands along your face, laughing almost at how good it felt.
"Fuck Vinnie, please don't stop doing that." You exclaimed and you could feel him smiling into your pussy. He started moving his tongue around, keeping the fluid movements up and his thump on your clit relentless. Before you even knew it, you were coming on his tongue. He had a vice grip on your thighs, making sure he tongue-fucked you through your orgasm completely, him licking up everything you were giving him.
"Come on baby, i need you now." He said, helping you up. Before you could hop down from the counter, he wrapped your legs around his waist and grabbed you, swinging you around and making you squeal. He smiled as he kissed you, throwing you on the bed. You landed in the soft bed, looking up at Vinnie taking off his belt and the unbuttoning his jeans. He pushed them down slowly, agonisingly so.
"Vinnie please, hurry up!" You said has you kicked off your heels. He laughed maliciously.
"Patience babygirl. I'm gonna take my time with you, show you exactly what you've been dreaming of on that pitch these last two days." He said as he crawled up your body, leaving small kisses on his way.
"Well take your time faster, you're not even naked yet." You said and he laughed as he plopped down beside you.
"Well then do something about it." He said, his hands behind his neck. You wasted no time, pulling his underwear off and letting his hard cock spring free. Your eyes buldged a bit at the size, making you stop in your tracks.
"Something wrong?" He asked and you shook your head.
"I don't know how that's gonna fit in me." You said and he chuckled lightly. He pulled you up so you were laying against his body.
"I'll make it fit." He whispered, and kissed you. He grabbed your hips and hoisted you over him, you you were stradling his thighs. You kissed for a while like that, but soon you were feeling ballsy and decided to grab a hold of his cock, giving it a few pumps. He groaned into the kiss, grabbing your ass and pushing you further up his body. You broke the kiss and slid the head of his cock along your slit a few times, before pushing it in slowly, getting used to his size. You let go of his member and leaned down, lips almost touching as you sat yourself down further. You both moaned lowly at the feeling, your feeling of fullness satisfying you to your very core. As you bottomed out, Vinnie let out a small 'fuck' and you smiled, wiggling a little to tease him. His hands on your ass tightened.
"I'm doing everything i can to let you get used to it but you're making that very hard." He said and you smiled devilishly.
"I know something else that's hard." You said and he laughed. He hugged you tightly, and when the laughter died down, you nodded sloghtly, giving him the go ahead to start moving. He used the hug to move your body up and down, small moans escaping you. You steadied yourself with a hand next to his face and the other on his chest.
"Faster Vinnie." You whined and he obliged immediately. His hands moved down to your ass again, lifting you and slamming you back down, which elicited a load moan from your throat. He kept the pace up and you moans were just as steady.
"Fuck Vinnie that feels so good." You said and he smiled.
"Say my name again." He said, not even sounding out of breath.
"Vinnie, Vinnie, Vinnie oh my god, yes!" You chanted and his thrusts gained in both speed and velocity. He moved slightly and suddenly he was hammering into your sweetspot, making your moans raise and octave. The hand that was on his chest move slightly to his neck and he raised his chin to let you get a good grip.
"Fuck yeah you like it when choke you huh?" You said and he smiled, giving you a small 'uh huh' which in turn made you smile wider too. He kept hammering into you, over and over and soon you were on the brink of your second orgasm.
"Fuck i'm gonna cum Vinnie." You said between moans and he smiled again.
"Show don't tell sweetheart." He said and slapped your ass, speeding up his thrusts and soon you were a writhing mess on top of him. You barely heard him, but he was talking you through it, making sure he never faltered his movements in your not even for a second, until he was absolutely sure that your orgasm was over. He paused for a second, letting you breathe for a moment, before rolling you over and grabbing you, getting up from the bed. He walked you over to the glass door of the balcony, the gold sensation making you squeal.
"I'm not quite done with you yet." He said as he kissed you, keeping a tight grip on your hips so he could thrust into you again, the pace slow and unforgiving. You barely remembered who you were, all you knew was pleasure and Vinnie. Your hands wrapped around him, nails digging into his back as he pushed into your sweet spot.
"Touch yourself." He grunted, and you happily obliged.
"Oh Vinnie, fuck, oh it feels so good." You said and groaned in response, too focused on chasing his own orgasm to really hear what you were saying. Your other hand squeezed around his throat and he looked into your eyes.
"Fuck, baby i'm gonna cum." He said and you nodded feverishly.
"Me too Vin, me too." You moaned and you locked eyes. He kept thrusting faster and faster, your hand repeating the pattern on your clit. Vinnie had a hard time keeping his eyes open and you kissed him quickly, intent on looking him in the eyes as you came. Loud moans were escaping you both as you reached your climaxes, his thrusts become sloppy and harsh, your legs aching from being spread for so long. As you came down, he pulled out of you, your mixed juices splattering on the floor as spun you around and placed you on the bed.
"i'm gonna be right back." He said and you nodded, almost falling asleep instantly. Vinnie soon returned with a warm washcloth and a bottle of water. You took a huge sip, your throat feeling dry. He cleaned you up carefully, making sure he got everything, before throwing the cloth in the hamper in the corner of the room and laying down with you.
"Thank you." You said sleepily and he laughed.
"Are you thanking me for sex?" He asked and you laughed.
"No i'm thanking you for being good at it." You said and you both laughed. He pulled you close and you placed your head on his chest, hearing his heartbeat return to normal. You laid in silence feeling his chest rise and fall softly.
You couldn't imagine a more perfect way to end a day.

Summary: Everything was good as a member of Payback and Soldier Boy's secret girlfriend until the team and your relationship with him began to fall apart due to a new member and her developing relationship with Ben right in front of your eyes.
Pairing: Soldier Boy / Reader
Warnings: Language
Word Count: 4624
A/N: English is not my first language.
* This story is inspired by the song "Losing You" by Dream Evil.
It was quite the struggle to train with Ben for a week, especially when he took it extremely seriously and pushed you to the very limit. It was not that he hurt you; it was that in the lab you either lost your will to fight or you just got really weak.
There were moments when you stated to Ben that things might get serious about your power, but he chose to ignore you and aggravated the training, which left you worn out. But you were relieved that he could, in his own irritating way, encourage you that your strength was still there.
Ben answered, “No,” right away when you wanted to stop the exercise.
Right now, the entire home was a mess, and the hole you had made in the wall remained.
“I'm tired here, Ben,” you complained as you fell to the ground, gasping for air. You had been there exercising together since the morning, and it was nearly the sun going down. Except when you needed to eat or pee, he rarely gave you a moment's peace of mind. “I mean it. I'm done.”
You opened your hands wide on the ground, and he looked at your body while saying, “You're a supe; you can't just feel exhausted that easily.”
You blushed as you noticed him staring at your soaked entire body and replied, “Give me some break.” There's a good chance that you were both thinking the same thing. “How on earth can you find that much energy? Even for a supe, it's too much.”
Ben stared at you and then took off the shirt he had taken off hours earlier, wiping the sweat from his muscular chest. You grimaced, knowing you probably smelled like trash.
“It's because I am the strongest; I am not just any average Supe.” With the most arrogant way possible, he threw his t-shirt back to the ground and said, “Simply better and more powerful than anyone. But don't worry; we'll return you to the way things were, sweetie. You have my word.”
He gave you a sneaky smirk when he saw you staring at his broad, sweat-damp chest. Ben was waiting for you, literally, from above, all the time you tried to get some rest. His eyes narrowed, and you suspected his head was full of filthy stuff.
You just muttered, “I hope so,” and avoided giving him a glance as you closed your eyes.
He sighed and went down on the floor next to you, crossing his big arms over his head.
“Don't think about it that much. You're going to do even better than you are now. Maybe we should just do those trainings more frequently. What do you say?”
“It’s fine. I don’t have another choice anyway,” you replied, cutting it short while keeping your eyes closed. Even if you felt his intense stare on your face, you didn’t react. “What did the doctor tell you, by the way? The one who supervised Compound V's improvement for decades?”
You remembered that there was a lot of discussion following the news that Ben had killed him at his home. You kind of hoped you could have dealt with that cruel piece of shit on your own, though. He was just a monster with a white robe. He had always made an aggressive attempt to cause damage to you and showed no sympathy or compassion for anyone. You got scared and insecure when you opened your eyes, recalling the physical harm he had inflicted.
“Fucking piece of shit!” Ben angrily exclaimed, his fists clenched over his head. “I should have killed him properly.”
“What did he say, so you blew up?”
“Isn't it obvious? That pussy told me how little supes are in the big picture of science, the future of the supremes, humanity, and some other bullshit. It's certain that Vough paid that cocksucker generously during all those years. He lived in luxury, torturing us, and he didn’t even regret it.”
“Did he tell you what kind of research he did on my body?” You asked as you moved your body to face him.
Ben fell silent for a minute, enraged by what he remembered the doctor had said about you. Nevertheless, his eyes softened as he saw your expression and saw that you were excited to hear what he was about to say and that you were feeling at ease and comfortable next to him. That was all he needed. Ben recognized that if he made a determined attempt to be by your side and touch you in the way he desired, you would push him even further away and that you weren't
ready for physical contact at this time. He therefore forced himself to keep his distance from you and let you do whatever you wanted.
He just turned to face you and stated, “I didn't give him enough time to talk,” straightening his posture and sitting straight up on the floor. “He's just an animal, and he sees supes as rats for research in order to make profit. That's all.”
“When we agreed to live this life as supers, Ben, we already knew that.” You said bitterly, “People in charge always wanted to play with us like we were toys. They used us as they pleased and needed us for their own good. I wanted to leave the company for a number of reasons, one of which was that I was unaware of how serious that whole picture was. What I need to learn is what they succeeded in doing during the decades we were unconscious and at their mercy.”
Ben sighed and got up to get some weed from the nearest table, just after helping you off the floor.
“I was told by that son of a bitch that he examined you to make the future supers flawless. Though I'm not really sure what he meant, it seems to me that Queen Maeve—the woman from Seven—is their new you.”
“Do you think they might have found a way to weaken me? Don't say 'no' right away,” you said in a hurry when he opened his lips to object. “It just doesn't feel right about what's going on and everything.”
Your concerns, which were constantly lurking beneath the surface, took over when you realized that Ben had remained silent. Something was off with you, you two sensed that. Although after your first training day you felt a little stronger, your weakness remained under your skin.
You pulled open a window to let some fresh air in and muttered, “If you hadn't just killed the doctor, we could have learned about it.”
Ben offered you one of the glasses and sighed as if he regretted what he had done, filling the other one with wine. “I didn't intentionally kill him. It simply happened beyond my control. But I would still murder him anyway.”
You raised an eyebrow and sat down, realizing that your tiredness was taking over. “You need to find a way to control it since your nerves are always on edge,” you said. “And also, I need to find someone who can understand all of this.”
Ben sat beside you, stretching his muscles and leaning back into the coach while he listened to you attentively. As you spoke, you noticed that your gaze lingered a little too long on his sweating body, almost making you flush.
He studied your expression to see how you would react to his suggestion. He said, “I guess the best option is to kidnap or torture a doctor who is in charge or fuckever who's doing supe studies for Vought right now. We can use Mindstorm to look at your memories and thoughts to see whether they have hurt you in any way.”
His suggestion caused your eyes to widen with excitement, and you exclaimed, “That's actually a smart idea. But how are we supposed to find him?”
“Remember the new technology, sweetheart. Anything is possible with these phones, Bluetooth, and GPS technology. Remember how I found you very easily?”
You gave a nod to him, knowing that what he stated was right and that you would be able to reach Mindstorm with ease thanks to modern technology.
After you had your shower, you saw Ben watching the TV with a dead serious face, and you sat beside him.
As you used the towel in your hand to dry your damp hair, you inquired, “Is there any news about us? Almost a week has passed.”
“Not much,” he replied as he continued to listen to Homelander talk about the two of you.
‘They pose no threat to the United States,’ Homelander confidently stated, grinning, as he extended his arms and turned to face the screen. 'As Seven, we've been trying to find them for a week, but it looks like they are hiding pretty well,' he continued. I, Homelander, the Seven's leader, swear to you that they shall answer for their actions. It has been proven that Soldier Boy rescued Y/N, and it's very likely that the two of them murdered the hapless doctors as well as every lab employee in cold blood and without hesitation.'
You and Ben exchanged a look as Homelander continued his speech. ‘Their families and children are in agony even though our government gives them the best care they can. These two criminals are responsible for the deaths of the orphans whose parents they killed. It breaks our hearts to see them weeping and grieving the loss of their families. There are even toddlers among them. Soldier Boy and Y/N will be held liable and made to pay for the harm they caused to the United States and its citizens. They have little time to conceal; they cannot get away.’
As the audience gave him a loud applause and he flew opening his arms out like.
Ben angrily said, “Fuck that. Son of a bitch,” and threw the remote control onto the table in front of him. “They were just another piece of shits who enjoyed torturing supes, nothing else.”
“But I didn't kill anyone,” you mumbled. “We are past the point of self-justification. Homelander is basically controlling the crowds. They would never pay to listen to us, Ben.”
Ben stared at the TV and said, “I'll teach them how to listen,” in a menacing manner. “You see? It's no longer about Butcher and his useless group. It has to do with our future.”
You could have argued with him about the future, but all you wanted was to avoid getting into another fight with Ben.
“I think such a guy wouldn't be innocent at all. We might be able to defeat the company if we can figure out how to properly express ourselves, explain to them how Vought tricked us, and show the real Homelander to the rest of the world. There isn't another way.”
“I know, I know,” he muttered.
As you could tell Ben was becoming enraged and feeling overwhelmed, you touched his bare chest, which had a little glow to it. “Hey, are you okay?”
He responded with, “I am,” placing his hand on yours and giving you a gentle squeeze.
“Can you please stop getting angry for a second? I can sense the heat building in your chest.” You muttered, “You're stressing me out here,” but you didn't remove your hand from his upper body. You could feel him cooling down beneath your touch once again. It was fine as long as it worked; you simply didn't know why.
“Well,” he said, arching an eyebrow, licking his lips, allowing you to touch him, and gently tracing his fingers over yours. His powerful, slow beats were calming in a way. “It's not too bad. Is it?”
You withdrew your hand from his sweating chest while rolling your eyes at him and making sure he was okay.
Ben had just showered when Butcher and Hughie showed up at the house.
Butcher remarked in a sly manner, “Glad, I delayed for an hour coming here to pick up you two,” as you and Ben got into the back of the car. “We could have interrupted something funny, judging by the all-wet hairs and all.”
“We were just finished training there!” you exclaimed, your face heated.
“It must be very good training, indeed. The entire fucking house was damaged like hell. You two spent a whole week all showering and training while we were dealing with the shit Soldier Boy caused.”
“Sorry for that, but it's not what you think, really.”
“I thought Soldier Boy and Crimson were having a relationship. Yet life goes on, don't they? There are always new, fine chickens and dolls all around.” Butcher smirked at Ben.
You were ready to add something about Ben and you having nothing to do, but Ben became enraged right away when Butcher brought up the Crimson Countess.
“Don't you fucking know how to stay silent and shut your useless mouth?” Butcher was obviously enjoying himself when he suddenly made Ben mad.
“What made you so furious now? Have I said anything untrue?”
Hughie leaned back in his seat and said, “Butcher, stop that,” sounding distressed as Ben continued to swear at them both and told Hughie to make Buther to suck him soon, so his mouth would be filled enough not to talk stupid.
“Why even do you become irate out of nowhere? After all, you murdered the poor woman.”
You looked up at Ben, asking with disbelief, “What? Why did you even kill Countess?”
The fact that Ben never brought it up startled you even more than Butcher's statement, as though it were nothing important. You were stunned and shocked beyond belief. At that point, you were at a loss for what to think. You were not sympathetic to her, though. After all, Vought used her as a cunning evil to harm both you and Ben. She was the one who paid you a visit in order to deceive you that day.
He tried to convince you immediately, giving you a gentle look as if he wanted you to understand what he had done. “She deserved whatever I've done,” he defended himself.
You acknowledged, “I know she did. But why?”
He looked at Butcher and then turned to face you, almost whispering, “Let's discuss this at a later time. All right?”
You found Annie nowhere to be found when you got to Butcher's home, where only Kimiko and Frenchie were inside. Kimiko watched Frenchie play with his phone, seeming bored.
“Why did it take so long for you to come here?” Frenchie inquired in an irritated manner to Butcher. “You give me too much to deal with, though you know I have things to do. Kimiko is also exhausted.”
Butcher sarcastically remarked, “Hello to you too, baby,” as he removed his coat. “I have not even once heard a complaint from her; she is an incredible Supe. She can't possibly be exhausted, right, doll?”
Ben moved you over to the edge of the coach and sat by you, resting his legs on the table, just as you were about to strike up a conversation with Kimiko. You were fine with him being close, though, so you said nothing at all. In fact, if you were honest with yourself enough, you would admit that his behavior around you somewhat comforted you.
“Kimiko and I have spent days looking for Black Noir and Queen Maeve, but we haven't made any progress so far. It's strange that they were absent from everything for so long. You see, something isn't quite right. According to Starlight, they have vanished.”
“The fuck you mean they are missing?” Butcher asked in disbelief.
“Why would Noir would go missing? It's not his thing to disappear,” you said. You thought you were thinking to yourself, but you had said it loud.
“He must have ran away when he saw us back together,” Ben said in am amused tone. “He fucking knows I'm going to kill him too. He’s a fucking dead man.”
You told Ben, “There must be a reason,” ignoring the way he talked about taking Earving's life. Right now, you don't need to see Ben being enraged over Noir and losing his temper again.
“How the fuck doesn't Starlight know where Queen Maeve is?” Butcher questioned Hughie.
Hughie took his head in his hands and responded, “She thinks Homelander did something to her. Maybe he killed Maeve.”
“How about Ninja Cunt, though? He is known as Homelander's right wing. Suppose he murdered Maeve. What about Noir?”
Frenchie remarked, “That's what I'm trying to understand,” and Kimiko communicated with him using sign language swiftly.
“All right, we'll watch out for this and see if he shows up again.” Butcher ended it quickly and continued. “Tomorrow, Soldier Boy and I are heading to New York.”
You eyed Butcher with suspicion, asking, “Why and why not me?”
“You two stayed at a lovely house for a week, for God’s sake. Aren't all of the showers enough? Is it not possible for you to separate for even a single day? Would you really miss this cunt that much?”
As Butcher continued to make assumptions about you and Ben, your face heated. Kimiko and Frenchie turned to face you in harmony, taken aback.
“You're just making the wrong assumptions.” You distanced yourself from Ben and explained, “It's not like that,” acting as though you had been proven guilty. Ben didn't appear to be supportive when you stared at him, yet it seemed as though he was okay with Butcher's comments. “What I want to know is what you're going to be doing here and why I have to stay here.”
“Yes, doll. To catch up with your old friend TNT Twins, we are going to join Herogasm. It's almost like we have to clear your names first. Maybe they know anything about the specifics of those events from decades ago, and they could say something that we could use against Vought. Though things might get messy soon, don't you worry, I'm going to keep an eye on your soldier so that he won't be pouding into any supe cunt there,” he said with a wicked smile.
Ben said, “Maybe we can also find a thing about Mindstorm there,” giving you a meaningful glance and a small touch on the arm before you could respond. You nodded to him.
“However, why must I stay here?”
“Kimiko needs to get some work done, and we need more muscle to help Frenchie and Hughie here. Let's don't take too much attention.”
“Okay,” you said, acknowledging the situation and giving up on further arguments. Herogasm was something you've always detested and loathed. Ben, the founder of it, was making it even worse. Yet the one thing about Ben's inconsistent anger—the energy in his chest—that scared you was his unpredictable temper. You weren't sure if he could find a way to control it soon enough.
You questioned Hughie, “By the way, where is Annie?” As a member of Vought and Seven, you were aware of how difficult it must be to handle the entire company's evil by yourself.
“I don't think she'll find Maeve anytime soon, but she's doing some research in order to locate her. She seemed to have disappeared in a heartbeat.”
You figured she was kind of involved in this too, based on the way they talked about her.
Ben abruptly stood up and stated, “I guess all the rooms are full. So, which room are Y/N and I staying in tonight?”
“Not full,” Hughie smiled in response. “I suppose there are now two available rooms since I will be seeing Annie tonight.”
Kimiko nodded quickly as she gave a smile to you.
Ben's expression darkened as Hughie continued to tell him and Annie that they would not be staying in this house any longer, while Ben quietly cursed. He glanced at you for a moment, but you ignored him and asked Kimiko to show you the room where you would be sleeping.
After an hour of inspecting the room and all of the furniture within, you heard a light knock on the door and knew it was Ben.
After a minute, you said, “Come in,” startled that Ben was holding back, opening the door this time without your permission.
He whispered, “As you wish, baby,” and carefully shut the door behind him.
In the dim light, his hair fell over his forehead, and his white t-shirt made your heart melt just a bit. Under his large arms, his t-shirt was too tight. Perhaps you weren't used to seeing him in his regular clothes, which is why you were still excited when you were around him.
“What now?” you muttered as you sat on the bed and observed him approach you.
He joked, “Don't get excited; I'm just here to make some conversation,” and sat down next to you right away.
You said, almost in a whisper, “Which is about?” while he briefly studied your body.
His darkened eyes lingered on your revealing nightgown, but you remained silent, intensifying the tension in the moment.
Ben's desire to force your body to the covers, get on top of you, take off your sweatpants, and get you ready for some post-breakup fucking was unbearable. He was well aware that you never touched yourself when you were by yourself in the house, and that really disturbed him because he knew that he was the reason for it. Ben could tell by the way you looked at him and by the beating in your heart that your body still yearned for him, but he also understood that he had to rebuild your trust in every way. He had to take care of his meat by hand up until that point.
After sighing and searching for the right words, Ben uttered, “About the thing I told you that we can discuss later.” He made an effort not to speak about Crimson bitch right away. She was the reason your nerves were already fragile. He had no reason to blame you for it.
As he attempted to read how you were feeling, you questioned in a cold voice, “Why did you kill her? Was it unintentional?”
You were curious as to whether he truly intended to murder her or if this was just another unintentional incident similar to the others. You needed to comprehend it, even though you didn't know why it mattered.
After a while, he said, “I blew up,” and when you realized he hadn't done it on purpose to exact vengeance for you, your posture straightened.
Ben said, “I was just trying to get information about you and your location before killing her,” as soon as he saw the look on your face. “I was cautious to do anything until she had spoken about you. But I was unable to control myself when she touched my nerves.”
“Did you kill her just because she was unfaithful?” You questioned him suspiciously, attempting to make sense of his motivations. Ben might tell you the truth or a lie, but you would still listen to him even if you weren't sure he would be completely honest with you. “In the end, it's her who deceived you. Whether Vought commanded her or not is important. She was the one who brought you there so they could capture you and then transport you to Russia.”
After pausing to comprehend what you were asking, Ben responded, “I would kill her anyway because of what she had done to both of us,” as if he had no idea how to answer properly. “Especially to you.”
You said, your eyes softening with sorrow, “I wonder what you would do to me if I were the one to trick you, Ben,” knowing that, after all these years, loyalty was what mattered most to him. “Even if I had every right to do so.”
“I would never hurt you,” he abruptly rejected, emphasizing each word in a hard voice. “I knew I would deserve it anyway.”
“I'm not so sure of that, Ben,” you said. “You're even more dangerous considering I'm getting weaker and you're ready to blow up anytime.”
His smile expanding, he added, “Hey, don't say such things,” took one of your hands, placed it on his warm chest, and whispered, “You have every power over me.”
Under his focused gaze, your face flushed, and after a moment, you reluctantly withdrew your hand.
“So, you're going to Herogasm tomorrow?” you said, attempting to change the topic. “Given how difficult it was to persuade you not to join decades earlier, you must have missed it quite a lot.”
“Are you feeling jeaolus?” he asked with a mischievous smile, and you grimaced.
“Why should I be? I'm just saying you might have missed the chance to join the party that you organized after all this time.”
“I'm not going there to fuck, baby; I'm not interested anymore,” he murmured, retaining an arrogant chuckle. “I'm going to call you when I get there.”
“I'm not sure.” You said to quit talking about Herogasm anymore. “I might be busy to pick up when you call.” Herogasm was the world's dumbest thing, especially since Ben founded it.
“Why may be you even busy, anyway?” This time Ben uttered serious words: “I'll call you nonstop, so keep your phone with you every moment.”
You responded with the same heedlessness, “I might.”
Ben smiled playfully and narrowed his eyes. “Since you too need to take care of yourself, it will actually be good for us to be apart for just a small amount of time.”
You naively asked, “About what?” as though he would make a crucial point.
“You might as well relax on this bed while I'm away because I’m pretty aware of you're not touching yourself, knowing I'd hear you in a second, huh?”
You became the deepest shade of scarlet in your cheeks and murmured, “I can't believe you.”
“I'm not making fun,” he declared with seriousness. “It is also a bodily necessity. You don't have to reject playing with yourself a bit. Being the reason is something that irritates me a lot.”
“I don't feel ashamed of taking care of myself because of you or anything else,” you immediately argued, ignoring the heat on your cheeks. “I have no problem touching myself while you're here. It's not all that important.”
Ben arched an eyebrow at your quick, brave, “If you say so,” followed by a sigh.
“I'm serious here, Ben,” you continued, growing agitated by his haughty demeanor and enormous ego. “I'll prove it.”
He studied your figure and growled in a low voice, “I won't promise that I won't focus on you or listen to the way you sound.”
“Then don't.”

Mav's Surprise
Pairing: Bradley x Charley (OC)
A/N: I'm backkk with a little Hard Deck blurb! I'm so sorry for my absence, life is kind of crazy. But I love writing for these two, and I had some time, so I got this one out! Requests for The Hard Deck are still open, as I love to get writing ideas, so feel free to send any my way!
Synopsis: Bradley and Charley break the news to Mav that they're expecting.
Warnings: None really, lots of fluff, talks of pregnancy
Word Count: 2.2k ish
'The Hard Deck' Masterlist
Regular Masterlist
Maverick's birthday party was yesterday.
Penny had hosted, and many of Mav's aviator friends and Penny's girlfriends had made their way to their house. Bradley and Charley had, of course, been there as well. Everyone congratulated the new fiance's on their engagement. A ring on Charley's finger wasn't easy to hide from the prying eyes of Penny's friends.
Maverick and Penny both hadn't been shocked at the news of their engagement. To Charley's surprise, Bradley had asked for both of their blessings before he proposed, so the older couple knew it was coming.
Maverick had cried, Penny had cheered, and Amelia had hugged them both before insisting she be a bridesmaid.
Penny and Amelia were all over Charley about planning the wedding, they had been hounding her about dress shopping, venues, and a honeymoon ever since she had broke the news to them.
Charley was excited. She was so beyond excited. But she had other, more important life changes happening that would have to make the wedding wait.
Charley was now, on the mark, a whole four weeks pregnant. Her doctor had managed to squeeze her in earlier than she expected for her first ultrasound and prenatal visit, and a teary eyed Bradley had accompanied her there.
Watching the sonograph show their baby, their baby, was a surreal feeling Charley had never known. That appointment was all smiles and tears, and the ultrasound photos had gone on the refrigerator as soon as they got home.
They had also clipped a picture off and wrapped it up in a gift box, a note inside saying "Grandpa!"
As much as Charley knew her dad would be thrilled about the baby, she was still scared to tell him. She was worried he would get angry with Bradley, claiming he came in and ruined her life by making her fall in love with him for him only to burn in one day. She knew how irrational this fear was, but it didn't mean she didn't have it.
Today, they were going over to Penny and Mav's to have lunch, and they were going to surprise the two of them at some point. Charley was messing with the bow on the gift box, her thoughts muddling her brain and making her anxious.
"You ready?" Bradley asked, walking into the kitchen where Charley was standing, the keys to his Bronco dangling from his fingers.
"Yes," she replied, blinking out of her stare. She grabbed the gift box, and walked past Bradley to the door.
"You okay?" He asked before they walked out to the car. His brows were furrowed as he looked at his fiance who would hardly look him in the eyes. When she did, he could see the battle in them.
"What's going on?" He asked further.
"What if he's not happy," Charley replied, referring to her father.
"Charley," Bradley said, grabbing her cheeks. "He's going to be so excited."
"But we announced our engagement yesterday, what if he says its too soon?"
"He's not going to say that. And even if he did, we're both well off adults who can take care of a child. What matters is that we're happy."
"I know, but he's my dad, and I want him to be proud, and just as excited as we are."
"There's not a doubt in my mind that he will be, honey," Bradley said, kissing Charley on the forehead.
Charley just sighed and opened the door, leading the pair out to the car. Once they got in, Bradley put on some of their favorite songs to try and lighten the mood, but Charley's stomach was in knots the entire way to her dad's.
Once they got there, they were greeted with smiles from Pete, Penny, and Amelia, Penny hugging the both of them and then ushering them to the table. She had it all set and laid out, the menu today being shrimp tacos.
They all sat down,Bradley next to Charley, Amelia at the head of the table, and Mav and Penny across from Bradley and Charley. Penny started bringing in various beverage options. She brought in a couple beers for Pete and Bradley, wine, and lemonade. Bradley and Pete were laughing about something that had happened at base regarding Hangman, the two in their own world.
The men took their drinks and opened the caps, taking a sip as they took in what was on the table in front of them. Penny poured herself a glass of wine and then grabbed Charley's glass to fill it. Charley was quick to act, sitting up straighter in her seat.
"Oh, I don't need any wine today, Pen. Thank you, though," she said, a light blush rising to her cheeks, because Charley never passes up wine.
"Oh okay, honey," Penny said, setting her glass down and moving to set the wine on the table. She had a slightly confused look on her face, raising a brow at the young girl. Because again, Charley never passed up wine.
"I'll just stick to lemonade," Charley said, grabbing the pitcher and pouring herself some.
As if Bradley could feel Charley's nerves radiating off of her, he put a comforting hand on her thigh and squeezed it. She glanced at him and gave him a soft smile.
"So, Charley, let me see the ring," Penny squealed from across her.
Charley held out her hand, her nerves easing a bit and being replaced with the feeling of excitement. She wiggled her fingers a bit, making the diamond dance in the sun shining through the windows. Everyone could tell Bradley hadn't aired on the cheaper side when choosing a ring for her.
"Oh gosh it's stunning," Penny gushed. "Look, Pete, isn't it gorgeous?"
Charley watched as her father averted his gaze to his daughters ring, a smile widening across his face.
"I'm so happy for you two," he said, looking up at the pair. "About a year ago I would've had Bradley's head for proposing to my daughter, but now I can't imagine anyone better suited for her."
Charley beamed at her fathers words, and Bradley chuckled. "I'm honored," he said.
Throughout lunch, the five of them had been chatting about any and everything. Amelia was going into her sophomore year of high school, and Bradley and Charley had learned all the drama between her friend group. Maverick was now working alongside Penny at The Hard Deck on top of helping out at Top Gun whenever he could. The table topics were all of the topics no one was able to talk about at Mav's party the day before.
When everyone was finished eating, Charley patted Bradley's thigh twice, their agreed signal that it was time to break the even bigger news they had to share. Bradley set his drink down and cleared his throat, turning his attention to his fiance.
"Dad," Charley said, a heat rising to her cheeks as she leant down to grab the gift box nestled in her purse that was by her feet. "Bradley and I have another gift for you, one we couldn't give yesterday. Really, it's for all of you, but it works well as a birthday gift I think."
Charley passed him the gift box and Pete beamed from across the table.
"You guys didn't have to get me, or us, anything," he said.
The young couple watched as Maverick began to open the gift box, Penny peering over him and Amelia coming to peer over his shoulder. Charley nervously bit at her lip and grabbed Bradley's hand. He looked to her and nodded at her, giving her a soft smile. She gave him a nervous grin back.
Charley studied her fathers facial expressions the entire time he unwrapped the tissue paper from inside the box. The first to gasp was Penny, a smile immediately forming on her lips. She looked to the young couple and beamed, walking over to Bradley as he stood and giving him a big hug. Charley was glued to her seat as she watched her father take in the information he had just received. She watched as his brow furrowed a little bit and then widened in shock. She watched as his eyes then softened and filled with tears, and she watched as he smiled down at the picture. The two locked eyes, and Charley immediately started crying herself.
"Am I really going to be a grandfather?" Maverick tearfully asked. Charley just nodded, and he let out a breath before standing and walking over to his daughter. Charley stood wiping her eyes, and the two embraced.
Charley felt all of her worries leave as she hugged her dad. He pulled back to look at her and gave her one of the biggest smiles she's ever seen from him.
"Congratulations honey," Mav said, squeezing her shoulders.
He adverted his gaze over to Bradley and brought him into a big hug. Penny walked over to Charley and embraced her too, giving her a large smile.
"When did you find out?" Penny asked.
"I found out while Bradley was on his mission," Charley said, wiping a few remaining tears from her eyes.
"I'm so happy for you both," Maverick said, sitting back down. "I can't believe I'm going to be a grandfather."
"I was so scared you were going to be upset," Charley laughed, following her dad and sitting down. Everyone joined and took their seats, Bradley's hand immediately went to hers.
"Why would I be upset? This is the greatest news ever," Maverick said, giving his daughter a look of disbelief.
"I don't know," she shrugged and laughed.
"Congrats you two," Amelia said, leaning over and giving Charley a hug and Bradley a fist bump.
"Auntie," Charley winked, poking Amelia in the shoulder.
"Oh my gosh," Penny exclaimed, sitting up straighter. "Now we have a wedding and a baby to plan for!"
"One thing at a time," Charley laughed, holding her hand out at Penny. "The baby comes first and then the wedding."
"Well of course," Penny smiled. "But such exciting times!"
~~
Once they were done with lunch, Charley and Bradley headed home. The young couple were all smiles as they drove home in Bradley's Bronco, and the smiles continued into their home.
They were greeted by Margot at the door, meowing at them. Charley figured she was excited to see them because she knew it was her dinnertime.
She fed Margot while Bradley took a shower, and then she headed off to get relaxed herself. As she was changing, she stopped to look at herself in the mirror. She was only four weeks along, but she gazed anyways.
She didn't look pregnant, but just knowing that there was a baby in there was enough to bring a smile to her face. In just a couple months she'd have a bump, and she couldn't wait.
Bradley exited the bathroom wearing only a pair of sweatpants, and joined Charley in front of the mirror. He smiled at her through the mirror, his hands finding a spot on her hips.
"What are you up to?" He asked.
Charley hummed and leaned back into his chest, sighing at the familiar scent of him. His skin was warm and his hair still slightly damp from his shower.
"Just looking," she replied. "I don't look pregnant but I will."
"No you look pregnant," Bradley replied.
Charley turned to face him and gave him a puzzled look.
"No I don't....no one can tell I'm pregnant babe," she giggled.
"I can," he shrugged.
"Yeah because you know I'm pregnant," she laughed.
"Still," he said, nuzzling his face in her hair. "I can tell. You have a certain look about you. I don't know how to explain it."
"Would you say I'm....glowing?"
"Yeah," he said, kissing the top of her head.
"That's called the pregnancy glow," she smiled.
"See? You look pregnant."
She just laughed and spun around to kiss him, wrapping her arms around his neck. His hands still remained on her hips, giving them a squeeze.
"Our baby is so lucky," Charley said, breaking away from the kiss to give Bradley a smile.
"Yeah she is," Bradley agreed.
"She?" Charley questioned.
"Yeah," he shrugged. "I think she's a girl."
"And how on earth do you know that?"
"I have a feeling," he replied. "It just makes sense to me."
Charley thought about it for a second, having a girl. She doesn't care what gender her baby is, all she cares about is that her baby is healthy. But to have a girl would be a dream come true. Pink, and bows, and dresses, and dolls. And Bradley being a girl dad...she blushed. She didn't know if her heart could handle it.
"I think I agree with you, Bradshaw," Charley beamed.
"Yeah? A girl?"
"I think so," she nodded with a smile.
"You make me the happiest man," Bradley said, picking her up and spinning her around before dropping her on the bed.
"You make me pretty happy too, Rooster," she smiled, leaning in to give him a kiss.
~~
And that's itttt! I had fun writing this one. Bradley and Charley are my faves!! Don't forget to like, comment, and of courseeee reblog!

bad liar



shauna shipman x fem!reader
summary: the one where you are stressed with your finals but shauna helps you.
warnings: modern days based, characters are aged up and in college, minor cursing, smut MDNI, oral and fingering, soft top!shauna, a tiny drop of praise kink, established relationship, fluff and cute aftercare moment but angsty ending?, too short cause i got lazy, not proofread
spending the rest of your night in bed with your girlfriend wasn't exactly how you planned to end the day. you were never the kind of person who had to study like crazy to get some good grades during school years but ever since you got in college, you realized that things were much harder there.
without a doubt, you were stressed. your desk was a mess, there were books and papers everywhere, and you could barely sleep at night even when shauna was holding you close. you were relying on coffee to survive the week.
"just a few more minutes, okay? i'm almost done, love." your eyes remained attached to your notebook and your hands didn't bother to let go of the pen or fidgeting with the buttons of your dress when you tried to gain a few more minutes from your impatient girlfriend. or hours.
"you said that twice already." shauna let out a frustrated groan, lounging in the big bed behind you.
"i know, i know. but i can't fail that one and it's just for tonight." you noticed how your attempt to persuade her failed when she didn't say a word. she was definitely rolling her eyes or murdering your professor inside her freaky mind.
dating since high school, you had some pretty good experience with her. you were absolutely sure that her silence wasn't a good thing at all. instead of actually talking about what bothered her, shauna had the tendency to shut herself. everything could go from sunshine and rainbows to a passive aggressive shauna in a matter of seconds and she would hold on to all of those unspoken thoughts until they exploded all at once.
"you alright there?" you finally drop your pen and decide to look back over your shoulder, still sitting by your desk covered in sheets of paper, colored pens, a laptop and books.
shauna was at the same position but now, she wasn't looking at you anymore. the ceiling was much more important now that she was doing her best to ignore you.
"yes." she murmured, masking her annoyance under a nonchalant tone. you watch her nose twitching for half a second.
"you know i can tell when you're lying, right? you scrunch your nose just a little when you lie. it’s cute."
"i don't. it just tickles." her nose wrinkled again. you were still trying to decide if you wanted to give her an exasperated glance or smile at how entertaining grumpy shauna was. it never lasted long anyway.
"okay then." you turn back to give your laptop all the attention.
"are you done now?" she gives up after five minutes or so in complete silence.
"nope." you repeat your words from earlier tonight just so shauna could sigh dramatically, loud and clear, to make sure that you were hearing.
that would be a long night.
you stopped hearing your girlfriends clear unhappy noises after a few minutes and you decided to ignore how pissed she probably was to focus on your study. in another words, you were too scared to look back and find her with intimidating eyes that could destroy you and your entire family. you could apologize and make it up to her later with an A glued to your forehead.
eventually you found yourself so focused on the words written in front of you that the rest of the world was practically gone. that until you felt a pair of hands on your knees that automatically made you jump on your chair.
"jesus christ!" you scream, looking down to find shauna on her knees under your desk, right between your legs. it took you a moment to fully recover from how fast your heart was beating.
"try again." she murmured, chin resting on your thigh as she looked up to meet your gaze. very funny.
"what the hell are you doing? i didn't even see you move!"
she ignored you completely. tired of waiting, she lowered her head, pressing her lips to your covered thighs and you feel your body getting tense as you notice what she was trying to do.
"shauna." inside your mind, you definitely scolded her. in reality, your voice was already getting breathy. "i have an entire chapter to finish."
"go on. i'm not stopping you." her mouth doesn't bother to move away from you, causing her words to come out muffled. instead, her hands find their way to your dress and the fabric is slowly pulled up to your upper thighs.
exhaling deeply, your eyes couldn't choose between the book in front of you or the captivating view right under your nose. shauna trailed her way from your knees to your inner thighs with small and wet kisses and it was embarrassing how easily she could press the right buttons and turn you into a wet mess.
among reserved groans, you tried to write new words on your notebook but your brain seemed to have turned into mush. feeling faint, you held the pen still for so long that some ink had gathered on the paper.
"what happened? you were so focused. don't let me interrupt you." shauna mocks you, pleased by your effort to stay unbothered. no matter how her condescending words made you want to reprehend her and push her away, the second she pulled your soaked panties to the side it all disappeared.
"shut up." you squirm, inducing the swivel chair to slightly rotate, eyes fixated on your girlfriend.
you were expecting shauna to be petty and leave you dripping wet by yourself or to tease you some more, but you weren't expecting that.
"gladly." in quick motion, shauna's hands held you by your thighs to pull you closer to her, almost making you fall as you reach the edge of the chair. slouching on your seat, your legs were rapidly spread and the warmth of her tongue finds your throbbing core.
you feel a jolt of pleasure shoot through your body and your hands promptly clasp onto her hair, mouth hanging open to emit a surprised and breathless moan.
unlike you, shauna was fierce and one of her favorite things was to watch you. eyes overflowing with adoration and arousal, she was fascinated by you.
wrapping her lips around your clit, she is gentle while sucking and flicking it with her tongue. the heat was spreading quickly all over your body and you were glad that only a few people were in the building in that saturday night cause the whole room was brimmed with your countless whimpers.
"fuck, shauna..." you cry, pulling your girlfriend's hair and feeling your legs tremble.
shauna notices almost immediately how your hips began to buck against her mouth and how your breaths were becoming more ragged and didn't waste a second to redouble her effort to make you scream her name. sucking harder and running her tongue along your folds along with focusing on your swollen clit, you feel her teeth lightly grazing your sensitive skin, sending shivers down your spine.
"s-so close..." you feel your orgasm building, the pleasure overwhelming you, her hair brushing against your inner thighs as you move against her. shauna seems to sense it too as her movements became more fervent. she had to grip onto your legs tighter to keep them open and fight your urgency to close them when her tongue work grew urgent.
enjoying your whiny mess for a view, shauna let go of one of your legs to play with your entrance just to push two fingers inside of your pussy, feeling you stretch to her touch and moan her name in response.
"you like when my fingers fill you up, don't you?" shauna mutters against your clit, gently nibbling on your sensitive nerve. her hoarse sounding voice made you roll your eyes, and not in a bad way, followed by a smug smirk on her face and an intense gaze locked on you. you nod desperately. with your hips jerking violently against her mouth as you were practically riding her fingers, you sense your body on fire.
you feel the release building within you, every nerve of yours is tingling with anticipation. shauna's fingers were pumping in and out of you faster, curling up when going as deeper. hitting you vigorously, you cry out, back arching and toes curling succeeded by your fingers letting go of her hair to grip the armrests of the chair as you climax.
you can hear her muffled moans and groans against your skin, her lips still firmly around your clit and fingers roughly going in despite you squeezing her out, only stopping when your leg twitching and hip movements began to slow down. her hand was coated in your juices.
"you forgot about that book of yours real quick." shauna chuckles. you wanted to retort her but you were exhausted. panting heavily, you watch her slowly pull her fingers out of you and trace her thumb over your mouth. "open." she muttered, forcing your lower lip down, she slid her fingers inside to meet your tongue. you don't hesitate to do what she wanted you to, wanting to please her.
sweeping her wet fingers with your tongue and tasting yourself, you swallow all of it while your starry eyes pierced her.
"good job, baby." shauna grins, carefully sliding her fingers out. it takes you a while to adjust yourself to the absence of her. she pushes your chair back just to get enough space to stand on her feet, ignoring her sore legs, and kisses the top of your head. "come on, let's go to bed. i promise i'll help you study tomorrow, okay?" she suggests, right hand finding your head to caress your hair in circles.
you were quite sure that she would do the absolute same thing tomorrow, getting grumpy and impatient and let it all out when fucking you, but you didn't care.
barely being capable of standing up, shauna holds you to help you on your way to bed. lying on your sides, facing each other, she pulls you closer to her body and wraps her arm around your waist.
"thank you. i love you." you whisper to her, giving the tip of her nose a sloppy and sweet kiss. you watch her lips curl into a radiant smile.
"i love you too." she echoes you, leaning closer to fill your face with pecks in between some soft giggles, stopping at your lips to properly kiss you. “goodnight”.
you fell asleep with your face stuck to shauna's neck, nestled against her comfort. nothing could bother you.
well, except for the loud buzz of your girlfriend's phone.
"who's texting you at this time?" your husky voice resounds in her ears, slightly scared by the unexpected noise, head still hidden.
shauna let go of you briefly to turn half of her body to the opposite side and face the bedside table just to take a quick look at her phone, responsible for brightening half of the bedroom.
"it's just van sending pictures of the party she went to with tai." shauna whispered, nose slightly twitching up as she muted notifications. before she could turn around to face you, another message was displayed on the screen.
JACKIE: I had a great time last night. see you tomorrow? ;)

is it over now? (was it over then?)
part three
part four: say the one thing i've been wanting
Steve had been dreading actually talking about this with Robin. He hadn't wanted to put her in a position to feel like she had to come out or stop using him as a plus one to industry parties to fuel rumors. Even as he and Eddie pretty publicly dated Robin's agent and most tabloids still thought Robin and Steve were a couple some even going as far as insinuating Eddie was Steve's side piece or their third.
"Steve, you're kind of scaring me, what's going on?"
"Birdie, I'm only telling you this because I can't not anymore but I want you to know nothing is your fault and I literally don't need you to do anything. I just need to be able to talk to my best friend and in order to do that I kind of have to get through this uncomfortable part," Steve answered.
"Anything, Steve. Whatever you need," Robin said.
"Okay, so Eddie and I kind of broke up because Eddie assumed I was cheating on him with Nance when she came to visit earlier this year. He got really upset and kind of blocked me from any way of contacting him so there was no way to clear anything up after he left but he definitely assumed I was cheating on him and he wrote that fucking song and I just need to talk to you without leaving out this really huge massive reason why Eddie left and why I still feel like total shit," Steve rushed to cover the main points.
"Steve, hun," Nance comforted. She probably guessed something else was going on but had been understanding enough not to press Steve for more.
"Steve, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault," Robin started catastrophizing.
"Can you please stop saying my name. It's kind of freaking me out," Steve joked, "Robs, it's totally not your fault at all. It was a shitty situation I could have handled better and so could Eddie but there's really nothing to do about it know because I can't explain it to him and he clearly doesn't want me to so we are moving on, all right?" Steve attempted to keep the energy light.
"If that's what you want, sure babe," Robin said.
"I just want to stop going down Tik Tok rabbit holes of Eddie's stupid song without being able to complain to you about how fucking tired I am of not being able to do anything," Steve said, "and also I want so much ice cream and a really stupid TV marathon with my best girls and maybe roast Eddie's new song a little bit."
Nancy had already pulled up doordash and they were soon on their way to eating a smorgasbord of snacks and ice cream while watching reality TV and eventually dissolving into a karaoke session initially overdramatically singing along to Eddie's new single and ending with some old school Taylor (her version of course). Steve was feeling better than he had in a long time and started getting out of the fog he'd been in since Eddie had left.
Eventually, Steve started answering his agent's emails again and submitting tape for different roles. He'd gotten a part in a small indie film in Italy and Steve was pretty ready to take it. It was an interesting part, it was literally away from everyone he knew, the director was kind of weird and didn't let his cast use socials while filming and encouraged only phone calls and old school letters to really get into the period mindset. It was honestly kind of a perfect next project and it helped that the script was actually kind of great.
"As long as you aren't going because you're running away, Steve. You know I don't want you to leave and you shouldn't feel like you have to," Robin said as he was starting to pack his bags.
"I really like the project. It's a good script and I get to get out of my own head for a while. Kind of perfect honestly. The shoot is pretty short its only like four weeks so I won't be gone that long and you and Nancy can keep holing up in my apartment without me getting in the way!" Steve answered.
"You're never in the way, dingus," Robin nudged him and then brought him into a hug, "we'll just miss you kiddo."
"I'll miss you too, Bobbie. Now let me go so I can pack." Steve pulled away with a bigger smile than he'd had in weeks.

With You part 13
prev next || Fic Masterlist || My Masterlist
Summary: Who left you that note on the counter? (It was Marc)
Pairings: Marc Spector x gn!reader, (Steven Grant x gn!reader, Jake Lockley x gn!reader) No use of Y/N.
Word Count: 3.4k
Content: angst, sprinkle of fluff (more under the cut)
Warnings: like a lot of cursing, spiciest chapter to date, nsfw tho the language is still gn and not overly explicit but you have been warned. Probably inaccurate DID, based on the show.
PREVIOUSLY, on "With You"...
The three of you agreed that Marc just needed some time. As always, you decided not to take it personally. This was about him.
You beat Steven home again the following evening, and this time, waiting on the kitchen counter, was an envelope bearing your name.
'On the roof -M'
Just that little scribble - Marc's handwriting, that he'd taken the time to put into an envelope for you - had you gasping for air.
You bolted for the stairwell, clad in your scrubs and in no mood to wait the brief eternity for the lift. Taking the stairs two at a time, you heaved yourself breathlessly through the rooftop door, gasping out his name.
"Marc!?"
Your husband wasn't exactly the film-style, run-and-jump-hug kind of man, so you were going to have to work very hard not to tackle him.
"Marc? It's me!" you panted, more from the anticipation than from exertion.
Unable to locate him in his usual spot, you peered over the building's edge, down to the city below - in case he was hanging there like Spider-Man?
Dumb.
Scurrying around the rooftop, you checked behind cooling towers and anything else obstructing your view.
No Marc.
Cursing under your breath, you dialed his phone, hoping maybe you missed him somehow, but knowing full well that the roof of your building wasn't that big.
No answer.
So back down you went. Maybe he wasn't fronting anymore. Sometimes it happened, whether one of them wanted it to or not. Couldn't really blame him if that were the case.
That didn't stop you from ringing his mobile again as you raced back down the stairs, narrowly missing a dangerously close face-plant situation once arriving at your floor.
"Marc!" You cried, bursting back into your flat. Releasing a shuddering sigh, your eyes burned with the beginnings of frustrated tears.
Right then, he emerged from the bathroom, soaking wet, dark ringlets dripping down his cheeks, with a white towel tucked snugly around his hips.
"I'm here," he softly responded, approaching you slowly, stopping before even reaching arm's length. Realizing you were in some sort of distress, he withdrew, almost imperceptibly.
"M-Marc," you stuttered out, unable to believe it as actually him. And not just him - who you had missed terribly for two weeks - he was soaking wet and half naked.
Swallowing hard, he pushed his fingers through his drenched curls, sprinkling the floor with water droplets and creating one hell of a sexy mess.
He figured you must be really upset with him for being gone so long.
Neither of you moved. You just stood, staring, your chest heaving with emotion as Marc wilted, drawing in on himself.
Steven would probably be here soon. You had to do something. Anything!
"I-I saw your note," you blurted. "I ran upstairs to look for you. I- "
"Shit. I left the note earlier, in case..." Figures he would have sent you up to the roof on a wild goose chase. No wonder you were keeping your distance. The quick note had replaced a long letter he had composed for you. Something to try to explain. But he tore the letter up and replaced it with the rooftop note, because the letter was utterly inadequate.
Head dropping in shame, Marc's fists clenched by his sides. "I'm sorry," he choked out.
You had to try anything. Inching forward, you moved carefully, afraid of scaring off the elusive creature he'd become these past weeks.
Stretching your fingers out slowly, you made sure he could see your incoming touch with his eyes - then asked for verbal permission before you made contact.
"Baby...is this okay?" One fingertip grazed his knuckle like a whisper.
Realizing you were here, right in front of him - touching him - soothed his fears almost instantly.
Exhaling shakily, he stared at the floor, even as he pushed his fingers up to meet your palm. With the faintest caress, you traced the length of his fingers, slowly pushing your own in between each one until your hands intertwined.
"Marc...please - I need..." Chomping down on your tongue, you called upon every restraining force in your body to keep from pushing him away.
"What?" He whispered - wide, brown eyes flickering briefly up to yours. Water droplets made his impossibly long lashes glisten. He must have quite literally run from the shower. "What do you need?"
Tugging on your intertwined fingers, he pulled you close enough to feel the steamy humidity of his solid chest.
Feeling your shaking puffs of breath cool his heated skin, he wilted inside as you squeezed your eyes shut.
"I...is it okay if I hug you?" Your body twitched with nervous energy, your glassy eyes finally locking with his.
In them, he saw raw truth. He saw you. You weren't angry with him - you were something else. Maybe you needed him to touch you, but you wouldn't violate his safety to get what you wanted. Never. The restraint you were showing him was burning you alive.
'I'll burn down the whole world first.'
Your promise to never leave him flooded back to his memory, propelling him to dip his knees and scoop you up into his arms.
"I'll get you all wet," he murmured, even while nuzzling his sopping curls against your cheek.
"Then get me wet," you groaned, fingers clawing at his shoulders, hauling him into your embrace. "Please just...stay. Just a little longer, Marc, please."
Lips parted, you mouthed the damp skin of his cheek before pressing a kiss there.
Relief surged through him, simultaneously weakening his grip on you while fortifying his desire to stay here with you.
Feeling his hold on you loosen, you cursed yourself internally, face flaming as tears burned your eyes. It must be too much for him - the frantic searching, calling out for him - the pleas to stay and now, a soft kiss to his warm skin.
"I'm sorry," you whimpered, releasing him. It hurt so badly, you could barely stand.
Playing the last 30 seconds over in his mind, Marc frantically attempted to figure out what he did wrong. What else he did wrong... You let go of him...although you apologized. For what?
"For what?" He uttered, reaching out for your arms, his fingertips electrifying your skin.
Ducking down again, his heart shattered at the sight of your tears. When would he ever stop fucking up your life?
As your gazes locked, he brushed his knuckles tenderly across your cheek. "I'm the one who's sorry. I'm so sorry."
"I missed you," you whispered, nuzzling into his touch. "Did you get my letter?"
Nodding, he dragged his fingers down the side of your neck to grasp your shoulder. "I'm sorry I did that to you, honey. I didn't mean to be gone so long. I was so tired..."
"It's okay, baby, that's why you have Steven and Jake," you attempted, your hands twitching with the pulsing need to touch him again. Touch him more.
Right. Jake.
The one Khonshu wanted. The one you wanted. The one who was now here with you, living life with you, moving his clothes into the closet, showing you who he was.
The preferred one. Giving you the love you deserved, along with Steven - so alive, full of hope. Steven was the glue in this whole thing, as much as you were. Without Steven, Marc wondered if he might somehow slip away into the recesses of his own mind, leaving your heart in more capable hands.
Moon Knight was certainly in far more capable hands.
"It shouldn't be okay," he sighed, his skin crawling uncomfortably. "It's not okay for your husband to leave you without telling you." Shaking his head, his arms dropped heavily down to his sides. "But I guess it was okay to you because you have Jake now."
Ouch.
Your lip trembled - he'd pulled away from you again. "I...I haven't had chance to talk to you, like I promised I would - about Jake." What the hell? You didn't want to talk about Jake right now, you wanted to see and feel and love Marc!
"A-are you mad at me?" You whimpered, trying to find your footing in this conversation.
"Mad at you?" He gasped in disbelief as his hands found his hips. "You're the one who should be mad. You shouldn't have to fucking live like this." Shifting from foot to foot, he grew restless, like he wanted to claw his way out of his own skin. Or have a drink. Fuck.
Blowing out a long breath, you tried to steady yourself. If you hurt his feelings, oh well. If he withdrew into his mind and you didn't see him for another couple weeks, so be it. You thrived on honesty and communication. The real. No more tiptoeing.
"Marc, I don't need for you to tell me how I should have to live. I can decide the life I want to have," you calmly explained, relaxing your body and boldly holding his gaze. "I'm not mad that you're a system or that you're going through something new or hard for you."
"I know you're not mad," he muttered. "You never are. Because I can't disappoint you or hurt you if you expect nothing from me."
He may as well have thrown ice cold water in your face and then slapped you.
But he wasn't done.
"Why do you want to be on this merry-go-round...roundabout?" He added the less American term. "My drinking, my fucking panic attacks, nightmares - all my shit," he spat, his chest heaving. "I asked myself how anyone could put up with this, or would even want to, and the answer is...obvious."
Pushing a hand back through his damp waves, he re-stated his worst fear. Something he found himself finally able to voice out loud, after two weeks in the headspace.
His dramatic pause was long enough that you cleared your throat and prompted him to go on. He may as well get all this off his chest, even if it destroyed you. "What answer is obvious?"
Daring to meet your eyes, he could see, in real time, how much he was fucking up. But it was like a plane crashing - he couldn't stop the descent.
"The answer is Steven," he rasped, his voice hoarse - thick with emotion. "You don't expect anything from me because Steven is so good to you. He's so good at everything. And now Jake..." his voice trailed off as his dark eyes clouded with moisture. "Jake stepped right into my shoes - with you, with Khonshu. I don't do anything. I don't give you anything. But you're a good person and you love me anyway. Believe, me, I could not be more grateful for that. Or any less deserving."
You were crying now - heavy, wet tears streaking your beautiful cheeks as you sank to the floor. He had actually done it. He had rendered even you speechless.
Without another word, he walked back into the bathroom and shut the door.
God, how every word out of his mouth cut you so deep. You could cry for a week, but where would that get you? He thought Jake had taken his place? If he wanted a taste of the shit you and Jake gave each other, he could have it. But no way would you spend another instant on this floor, no matter how your gut twisted with pain.
Racing over to the bathroom door, you pounded. "Marc, open the door!" You shouted, wincing as you realized this was probably the opposite of what he needed. Lowering your voice, you announced that you were coming in.
Marc was naked.
His towel was hanging up in its usual place and he was reaching for the underwear lying on the countertop.
Why was he getting dressed in the bathroom if you were married?
Whatever. Didn't matter. Fuck him.
"You don't need those," you said sharply, yanking the boxer briefs out of his grasp and tossing them aside. Pushing your fingers over the soft flesh of his abdomen, up onto his chest, your nails scraped his damp skin. "You think I don't need you, Marc?"
Gripping his face in your hands, you lifted up on your toes, crushing your mouth against his.
He was stunned for a moment, but slowly melted into your kiss as you slid your tongue over his demandingly.
His hands found your hips, gripping them tightly before yanking you hard against his chest. The two of you stumbled backwards, breaking your kiss and sending you crashing into him.
Reaching for his muscular arms to steady yourself, you panted, desperate for him in every possible way. That's when your eyes traveled down to plainly see that he wanted you too.
Jerking your scrubs off your body, Marc quickly joined you in yanking and pulling until you were as bare as he was. Between every movement, your lips chased one another's, licking and tasting - connecting at every possible point, until he pushed you up against the door.
The fire in your eyes had him weak for you.
You surprised him by returning to a deeper topic even as your bare bodies pushed and pulled against the other. "You treat my love and compassion as indifference? Fuck you."
He stilled for a moment, but you gripped his length firmly in your palm, tugging and making him groan.
"You think I should be mad?" You spat, working him roughly. "Congratulations. I am."
"Baby," he panted, his forehead dropping to rest against yours as his body submitted to your demanding touch.
"You think Jake took your place, here, with me?" You growled on his ear, biting his earlobe and tugging it between your lips. "Fuck you both. Nothing is taking you away from me."
Groaning your name, Marc's hips stuttered against your hand as his forehead dropped to your shoulder.
"You think I don't expect anything from you?" Yanking on his wet curls, you jerked his head back so you could see his face. "I really fucking do." Using your grip on his length, you guided him to where you really wanted to feel him.
"You think you don't give me anything?" You whined, as he entered you, your body shuddering with pleasure as he groaned on your ear. "You've given me everything." Moving on him slowly, you moaned as he pinned you against the bathroom door. "Give it to me, Marc."
"Fuck...baby..." he gasped, gripping your hips hard enough to bruise.
He couldn't help himself - after deep, frantic thrusts over and over - he finished before you, whimpering and desperate.
Good. You had him right where you wanted him. Vulnerable and sated. Or at least slightly relieved, maybe.
Yanking the towel off the rack, you handed it to him so he could clean up a little bit. "Go lie down on the bed," you ordered, your eyes dark and unreadable.
Swallowing, Marc nodded once and complied. As soon as he left the bathroom, you stared at yourself in the mirror, exhaling shakily. What just transpired between the two of you felt really fucking good, but it was more than sex. You were doing battle. And Marc wasn't getting out of your bed until he understood a few things.
Moments later, you climbed on top of your husband in bed, salaciously kissing him, draping your body over his.
"I want you to do something for me," you murmured after a long while, as both of your bodies stirred with new desire.
"Anything," he whispered, his hands finding their way between your legs.
Gasping as he teased you, you reveled in his touch, forgetting to finish your thought.
"What can I do, baby?" Marc hummed against your skin. Being needed by you? He lived for it.
You kissed him again, your body writhing under his caress. "I want you to stop deciding how I feel."
"O-okay," he groaned as your breath tickled his lips.
"I'm serious," you went on, forcing him still - waiting for him to look at you. "If I'm mad, I'll be mad. If I'm patient and understanding, you can't tell me to be angry."
He was trying to listen, but he really wanted you again. "Uh-huh," he ground out, thrusting upward, hoping...
"You see this?" Showing him your wedding band, you pushed your fingers through his. "You remember the vows I made?"
"Yes," he panted, desperate for you, wishing you would touch him back. "Please, honey..."
"I know," you cooed, kissing him again. His mouth, his cheek, his eyebrow. "Who did I make vows to?"
His eyes locked onto you and he melted. "Me."
"That's right," you smiled gently down at him. "So stop with all the bullshit you keep telling yourself. And stop telling me how I feel."
Feeling a little relief in the air, Marc sat up and kissed you urgently. "So damn bossy." He said this while continuing to stroke and caress you.
"You were being an asshole," you half teased, shivering as he grazed a particularly sensitive spot. "I definitely prefer your usual method of stress relief."
His eyebrows shot up playfully as he slowly removed his hand, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth. "Is that right?"
The air between you crackled with electricity as you waited...
Wetting your lips, your eyes traveled down from his warm gaze, over his sharp nose to the fullness of his parted lips. The strong line of his jaw twitched with anticipation and that wasn't the only thing that twitched under the heat of your stare.
He pounced, rolling you underneath him, face down, nuzzling into your neck as his body smothered yours. "Are you sure, baby?" He growled, licking a stripe up the side of your neck while dragging his palms up your bare thighs. "Because I need a lot of relief."
With that warning, he pushed his way inside you, groaning on your ear. His strong hand slid around your abdomen, pulling your body against his as you began moving together. "I am sorry," he breathed.
"Shut up," you gasped as the hand on your abdomen traveled down between your legs.
You and Marc stayed in bed for hours, relieving a lot of stress. He had to re-visit the shower, not that you were complaining. The two of you did finally make your way to the rooftop, after the moon shone in the dark sky.
Wrapping his arms around you from behind, Marc nuzzled your cheek with his nose. "Can I ask you something? About your letter?"
"'Course," you murmured, tracing his forearm with your fingertips.
"What did you mean when you said I was the real Moon Knight?"
You thought for a moment, thinking back through the composition of your letter to him.
"Well...I mean - when Khonshu found you - or you found him, rather - he was in search of an avatar. The only reason he still has one is because you said yes. You're still the real Moon Knight," you explained. "I'm not saying you have to be him if you don't want to be. But if Khonshu wants Jake, he should be grateful to you. Otherwise, he might still be searching for an avatar."
"I guess so," he mumbled with a sigh. "Still prefers Jake though."
"For being a deity, he is dumb as a fucking rock sometimes," you sarcastically remarked. "I know you and Jake are different, but he may have noticed you share a body. If he needs Jake, he needs you. He needs Steven."
Marc was quiet for a few minutes, but it was a calm quiet, rather than the tension from earlier.
"I don't know, babe, I...I just can't seem to find my place in all this lately. And, believe me, I know how that sounds - a new husband, saying shit like that. It's not right."
"Sweetheart, you feel how you feel," you softly responded, resting your head against the solid warmth of his chest behind you. "You don't always have to make a judgment on that. You're too hard on yourself."
"That's what Steven says," he lightly chuckled. "You're much too hard on y'self, mate."
His terrible impression of his alter made you giggle.
"Well, you know he's right," you replied, "And - the other day, Steven told me I'm always right, so...I think you should really listen to us."
"Yeah..."
You hadn't noticed at first but the two of you had started to gently sway to the muffled tune drifting out a neighbor's open window. Something from the 1970s...American.
"Can I ask you something?" You echoed his question.
"Mm-hmm," he mumbled into your hair, pulling you impossibly closer.
"Do you want to be Moon Knight?"
He didn't answer for a while. And that pretty much told you everything you needed to know.

vespertine: evening blooms 7 - siblings (nishinoya yuu/cat hybrid!reader)
First - Prev - Next - M.list - Ao3
A/N: ok I lied last time lmao. that was before the shoulder dislocation and the seasonal depression and remembering that I was starting school again uhhhhhh yesterday, in my defense.
Summary: There are strangers in the apartment.
Warnings and tags: none!
Words: 2500+
Well, he survived the shift. In the changing room, Yuu takes his time to breathe, to grab what few things he brings with him to work. Mostly just his cell phone—no new texts, nothing of concern. No phone calls from the landlord about how he needs to find a new place to live. You must not have set any fires, at least.
His coworker's voice interrupts his thoughts. Unlike Yuu, the way Tooru talks to clients seems to just be the way he talks. He's a guy who's never had to try the way he has. "Expecting a text from a girlfriend, Yuta-chan?"
He shakes his head, pulls on his ride jacket so he can fumble with the zippered pockets. "Not really."
Tooru smiles at him in a way that feels distinctly like he wants to say why would you be, like they don't have the same job, like there's less than a few thousand yen between them on the monthly leaderboard, even though Tooru's always known popularity and Yuu has to stop being himself to even come close.
Needless to say, he does not particularly like the man with the number one spot on the leaderboard.
"I adopted a hybrid earlier this week," he tells him, for some reason. "It's her first night alone since I found her, so I'm sort of expecting to get a text about some kind of disaster or something."
"Really? I didn't take you for the type to worry about stuff like that."
Yuu shrugs. "She's almost feral, and she was pretty messed up when I found her. I just don't want to get home and find she managed to open her stitches again or something."
"No wonder you won't stop frowning. You'll scare off our beautiful clients if you keep worrying like that, you know."
Right. Work rules, he's still Yuta until he gets his bike around the street corner. No letting your guard down, not where any potential client might see. They can't know who you are, only who you make them believe in.
"I should head home then," he replies, pulling out the boyish work smile. "Can't keep the kitty-cat waiting."
~
There are motions to go through when Yuu gets home—out of work clothes, into the shower, into the kitchen, downstairs to see Mama Kitty. He hasn't quite figured you into these motions yet—you'll need to eat, maybe, and you'll definitely need to take your meds before he heads to bed.
Any and all of them will have to wait, because he makes it three steps into his apartment when he recognizes the three very familiar women sleeping on the living room floor.
Shit. Mei's home.
Even Satsuki's come over for the sleepover. Last he checked, she was trying to become a bartender, so it's something of a surprise to see her on a night she should be busy.
Usually, he'd join in. Drag up a futon or collapse on the couch, all four Nishinoya siblings together for a reunion, even though he won't talk to Kaede about anything other than the alley cats and maybe you, even though Mei is doing so much better than him in her life, even though neither he nor Satsuki want to look each other in the eye and see themselves reflected there.
If any of them tell him to call Mom before they leave, he's gonna scream.
For now, though, two out of three are sleeping. The third is, unfortunately, staring directly at him, hardly tired thanks to timezone bullshit, and there's a million questions on her face.
Mei nods down the hallway. She wants to talk.
"You brought home a hybrid," she says when they've put distance between them and the other two girls. Her voice is slow and measured, and Yuu wonders how long she's been waiting up for him, how long they've all been here, how long you've been hiding somewhere with your tail puffed up at the strangers invading what you'd thought was your space.
"I forgot to tell you," he replies with a nod of dawning realization.
"You forgot to tell me," she repeats.
"I really meant to talk to you about her, it was just so busy, and—"
She sighs. "It's okay, Yuu. I was saying we should get a pet, right?"
Mei's always so understanding. She's surprised, she wishes things were different, but she's understanding.
Yuu's not sure why that makes him want to vomit.
"I think she's kinda more like a bonus roommate, honestly. Feels weird to call her a pet. She's just an extra-cute human. Speaking of, where…"
"She's hiding. She freaked out when we came home, so we haven't actually seen her. Nee-san told me a bit about her. You found her bleeding in the alleyway?"
"Yeah. She was—we don't know who, but they basically kidnapped her from wherever she was living, sterilized her, cut her ear off, and dropped her off beside our building. She seems to agree that it's safer for her to stay here, and she's on these antibiotics and stuff so the stitches heal properly and all that. There's a lot she doesn't understand yet, but she's trying. I really think she's—"
"You don't have to justify it to me, Yuu. I think it's a good idea. But we can't just bring her into the apartment and leave it at that. There's leasing terms, and she needs to have a better space than a tent in our living room, and I need there to not be a tent in our living room, and she has different dietary needs, and—"
"I have a whole packet in the kitchen with all that stuff. We're testing out what she can handle eating a little bit at a time. She likes cake. The specialist really wants me to get her to gain weight, because she's tiny compared to what they think her age is, so that kind of works out. And I talked with the neighbors. They also have a hybrid. Tanaka and his girlfriend helped me start figuring out the paperwork."
She studies him for a moment. "You're really serious about taking proper care of her?"
"I mean, yeah. She deserves better than what she's got. I ordered some clothes for her, too. We're starting that slow because she really hated some of the stuff the neighbors had her try on, and she mostly likes the clothes she's been borrowing."
"…okay. I'll handle the paperwork and the landlord. But I need you to introduce me to her. This isn't gonna be sustainable if she's hiding every time I'm home."
He nods. "Let me get cleaned up from work and then I can go looking for her. You're not going back to sleep right away?"
"No. I tried, but, well—Hawaii's nineteen hours behind. It's midday for me right now."
"Great. Give me a minute."
~
He doesn't see you on his way into the bathroom. He even checks the shower, just in case, although you refuse to use it without coaxing. Probably, you're zipped up in your tent, ready to bite anyone who touches the tent zipper.
So he shucks his clothes off. Leaves the work jewelry in the dish. Scrubs himself clean, wanders back into his bedroom with a towel ruffling his hair as he hunts for fresh clothes.
He leaps about a meter into the air when he spots you sitting on his bed, jerking the towel down to cover himself. "Fuck, hi Kitty-cat, when did you—"
"I was in the cave," you say simply, pointing to the closet. "There's strangers in the apartment, Noya. You said strangers couldn't do that. And they won't go away."
"They're not strangers—can you, like, close your eyes or turn around or something?"
You tilt your head, staring at him without a single thought behind those pretty eyes. "Why?"
"I'm not wearing clothes."
"That's okay. It doesn't bother me."
"I don't want you to look at me naked, Kitty-cat, come on. Humans don't really do that unless they're mates."
"Huh? But you made me take my clothes off in the wet box yesterday. Wait—were you trying to—"
"That's different!" he calls, escaping into the walk-in closet to at least find a robe or something. "I was trying to help you get clean so your surgical sites don't get infected! Do you actually not know what sex is?"
"I know what sex is! I just don't get why you're being so weird about skin. You guys freaked out when I went to change into the clothes you told me to try, too. Humans are all so weird."
"I'm surprised you even agree to wear clothes, since you don't seem to care about them," he says. He's found something to wriggle into that wouldn't be weird for Mei to see him in.
"They're good for keeping warm and dry and stuff. And making me more comfy. And humans get weird if I don't wear them. Are you going to do something about the strangers?"
"Like I said, they're not strangers. Those are my sisters. I forgot they were coming, so I didn't tell you. I'm sorry."
"Oh. They're family…?"
He nods. He's finally dressed, finally decent. You didn't bother looking away for a second, because apparently you want him dead. "Yeah. They're family. One of them lives here, actually. She's been on a trip. You didn't notice her scent around the apartment?"
"I thought I noticed a little bit of a familiar smell," you mumble. "I'm glad I didn't bite them, then."
"Please don't bite them. Satsuki will probably bite back just as hard."
"But—" You cut off into a pout. "But I can bite harder."
He laughs. "Let's shoot for no biting at all, alright? C'mon, Mei wants to meet you, you need your meds, and we gotta feed Mama Kitty."
"I don't wanna meet Mei," you whisper in protest. You follow him all the same, though, sticking close as he wanders down the hall. In the living room, all three girls are awake, now, Satsuki yawning, Kaede crossing her arms.
"Alright, three in the morning, let's meet her," Kaede says when she sees him.
A warmth appears at his back—you've hidden behind him, peeking out around his arm, tail wrapping around his body as you stare at the girls.
Aw. You might even trust him.
"You said I only had to meet one of 'em, Noya," you whisper.
"I guess they're all awake," he replies, resisting the urge to wrap an arm around you. For your own comfort, obviously. "Uh, hey. Morning."
"You've gotta start using a planner or somethin', Yuu," Satsuki says as she stretches. "You forgot Mei was comin' home today, didn't you?"
"Yeah, yeah, I forgot a lot of things. In my defense, I've been a little busy. Speaking of, before I forget—Kitty-cat, c'mon. Meds."
"Meds." You have a firm pout on your lips, but you let him lead you.
He feels mysteriously watched as he leads you to the kitchen, as he finds you a snack and something to drink with your antibiotics. "Remember what we talked about? Swallow the pill with the water and it'll be better."
You obey silently, eyes trained on the living room, on the waiting girls. They're watching you right back.
Meds, check.
"Uh, Mei, do you wanna come let her sniff you? She might feel better when she recognizes your smell."
"Yeah, sure." Mei approaches slowly, stops a bit short with her hand outstretched. You're glaring firmly, tail lashing behind you.
"I'm right here, okay, Kitty-cat?" he reassures softly. "She's not gonna hurt you."
Your eyes don't move from Mei, but you lower your head a little, grab her hand to inspect it. Sniff at her wrist purposefully.
"You're the flower girl," you say when you're satisfied. "Your scent was in the other room."
She nods. "My name's Mei. I travel a lot for work, so I've been in Hawaii all week. Do you have a name?"
You shake your head, draw back to hide behind Yuu all over again. Baby steps. He tries not to let you catch him smiling at the return of your tail around his arm. "Noya's been trying to find a name for me, but he sucks at it. Mei is a pretty name. It's easy. Do you also have a name you like people who are… um, close to you, to call you?"
His heart swells with pride. You're trying so hard.
"Nope! People who don't like me very much or don't know me that well, or people I work with, call me Nishinoya, and everyone else calls me Mei. You can call me Mei, too, if you want."
"And you're Noya's sister?"
"Yeah. Do you wanna meet his other sisters, too? They don't live here, but they visit and sleep here sometimes."
Your ears flatten all over again. "Are they safe? Noya said that, um, Sa-tsu-ki? Would bite me."
Satsuki lets out an affronted squawk from the living room. "I take offense to that!"
"Satsuki," Kaede admonishes, hitting her arm. "Watch your volume. You're gonna scare her."
She cringes. "Sorry. I promise I don't bite for no reason?"
You seem ambivalent, but let the girls approach, one at a time, to smell their hands.
"How're you feeling?" Yuu whispers to you. You still seem to be against the entire situation, pressing in close to him.
You let out a little grumpy noise.
Kaede bites back a laugh. "She's cute."
"Isn't she?"
"I don't wanna be cute," you say with a pout. "Don't call me that."
"Fine, fine," Yuu says. He introduces Satsuki and Kaede to you properly, lingers as long as his sisters can tolerate staying awake and as long as you can tolerate being around who you've dubbed as strangers. When you've had enough, tail flicking at the air instead of wrapping around him, he guides you out to get Mama Kitty's food and head downstairs with a hand on your shoulder.
On the stoop, you seem to relax a little, watching Mama Kitty and the ever-exploring baby kitties with a subdued interest.
"I am sorry," he says to you, interrupting your stubborn silence. "I really didn't know they were coming."
You glare at him. He sighs.
"Will more cake make it better?"
"Are they going to sleep there?"
He blinks. "In the living room?"
"Outside my cave."
His lips quirk in a smile. Your cave. "Yeah, they usually do. Is that too close for you?"
"I don't want them that close. I don't trust 'em."
"They're my sisters," he insists, but he knows it means nothing for you. "Do you want to hide in my closet tonight? We can move some blankets and stuff in there for you to make it more comfortable."
"…I also want the cake."
"Deal," he says. He makes good on both promises that night—you take your cake sitting on his bedroom floor, and he does his best to make the walk-in closet as comfortable for you as possible. Before long, you're leaving your dirty plate outside the closet door, pulling it shut with a satisfied nod. He's sure, when he wakes up later, that Mei and Satsuki and Kaede will have more for him—call Mom, talk about you, update on his life, but for now, he can get you to sleep, can get you to accept a peace offering of leftover cake. That's enough.

You Scare Me, Professor: Chapter 5
Summary: The reader is taking graduate classes at a local university in the wooded upstate New York. She is drawn to her professor, Dr. Joel Miller, though she is also inherently aware that he has something dark about him that she can't quite put her finger on. As the reader's attraction grows deeper, she has to decide whether to endure the danger or run away as fast as possible.
Pairing: Professor Joel Miller x f!reader
Dr. Miller stood on the sidewalk in front of The Library and I felt like it was some kind of death march. With each step I tried to come up with some lame excuse as to why I had followed him from the school; why I had ended up on the same street as him. Nothing that was plausible came to mind.
I had a feeling he was one of those human lie detector types. Already I felt those dark, brown eyes studying me from afar. Up close, however, they appeared much softer.
“Care for a study session at The Library? You know.. since classes are cancelled this week.” He tipped his mouth up in a half smirk, “I mean, I'm assuming you had a question for me since you followed me all this way.”
I both admired and was intimidated by his bona fide candor. The man appeared completely see-through; honest. He wasn't about to spare me his sentiment on my Tuesday night blunder that left us both standing on the chilly street corner.
“I'm sorry. I..” I didn't have a proper response. Maybe I should have just been honest - to a degree. I had wanted to solve the mystery of the black Mercedes, though that hadn't been the root cause of my trip to Woodbridge on that cold, winter evening. Still, was it right to call him out for following me Thursday night?
You don't know that he was even following you, I reminded myself. Earlier I had convinced myself of the more rational idea that it was a coincidence.
Dr. Miller was entertained. That was another transparent element to his persona. Whether he knew it or not his expressions revealed a plethora of emotion. In this case, he was having fun with the way he had me on edge. It was my own fault. He could have been mad; weirded out. Maybe he was. Or maybe he was simply amused or even flattered.
He opened the door and motioned for me to enter ahead of him into the little bar. Immediately the ethereal scent of luxury washed over me. I was hard-pressed to define exactly what that meant, though it was eminently recognizable and potent - like leather, cigar smoke and a collection of unknowns I couldn't quite pinpoint.
“This way.” Dr. Miller nodded, only passing me when my body froze in place as I took in the surroundings. Leather couches. High top tables. Dim lights. Quiet conversations among small groups, all sipping on different bourbons, scotches or other drinks. An old Dean Martin song played as background music and a line of men dressed in fine suits sat at the bar.
I looked down at my navy blue sweater that was topped over jeans and removed my hat, attempting to straighten my hair out, or style it blindly in some way. When we sat at a small table in the back corner of the place, I stared across at him as he removed his jacket and sat down.
“I'm underdressed.” It was the least of my concerns.
Dr. Miller huffed a fleeting, quiet laugh and abruptly removed the tie he had on over a white, button down shirt, tucking it into the pocket of his jacket. He then proceeded to undo the top two buttons and fluffed the collar.
“Feel better?” He asked.
My bottom lip detached from my top one when his selfless act revealed a trim patch of chest hair that gave even Tim McGraw a run for his money. This man was far too suave and experienced not to know what he did to women.
“Yeah.” I was at a loss for words and I had no idea what his angle was. Not to mention I was still utterly embarrassed by the circumstances that led us to the back corner of the fancy lounge that night.
When a waitress wandered over it gave me a moment to process things - though not for long.
“What are we drinking tonight?” She asked, prompting Dr. Miller to motion to me first.
“Oh, umm..” I cleared my throat. Despite the fact that we were in a bar I hadn't thought of a drink to order. “A Manhattan on the rocks, please.”
“I'll do the same,” he said with a nod.
“Easy enough.” The woman disappeared and he folded his hands on top of the dark, wooden table as he stared across at me.
“How old are you?” The question was simple but it still took me off-guard enough to allow for a few seconds of hesitation.
“Twenty-seven.”
The next question wasn't so generic. “Are you afraid of me?”
My eyebrows raised. I had given up all control of my facial expressions. “What?” I breathed the word aloud.
“Are you afraid of me?”
“No.” I shook my head.
“Well, what is it then?”
That one was more vague. I had an idea of what he meant, though it was more of an assumption. “I don't know what you mean.”
“Yes you do,” he challenged. Just as hotness swelled through my cheeks he motioned to me with his first two fingers. “That.. right there. I've seen your grades, undergraduate and graduate studies. You're an intelligent woman, mostly A’s. I've looked at your social media accounts - you seem to have a relatively active social life. So, why is it that you can barely look me in the eye or even speak to me?”
Wow. He had a set of balls.
“I don't know.” I was trying to process what felt like a hundred different things at once. How did he know about my grades? Why had he looked into my social media?
“Yeah ya do,” the man repeated.
“Two Manhattans.” The waitress returned and placed our beverages down but this time Dr. Miller didn't look away as he thanked her. The moment she was more than an ear shot away he pried into my psyche even more. “Tell me why you followed me down here tonight.”
I couldn't lie to him. Not when his voice demanded the truth and his eyes pervaded my soul. I went with the most impervious truth in my laundry list of reasons as to why I had followed him.
“Thursday night,” I paused for a moment and then just blurted out what was just the tip of the virtuous iceberg. “I thought I was being followed by a black Mercedes when I left the school, so I wanted to find out-”
“You were right,” Dr. Miller casually cut me off and sipped his drink for the first time. I watched as he set it back down leaving watery fingerprints behind thanks to the perspiration on the glass.
“Excuse me?” I gave a laugh and held his gaze now.
“I followed you.”
Frightened or flattered? Frightened or flattered? What was wrong with me that I couldn't decipher how the revelation made me feel? Shouldn't I be frightened?
“You did what I hoped you would do,” he added. “Especially after the tragedy that occurred on campus.”
I was confused now. What had he hoped I would do? When I didn't ask he proceeded to elaborate on his own.
“You sensed someone was behind you and you didn't turn down the street where you live.”
“How do you know where I live?” That one I blurted out.
Yes, I was freaked out now. Still not as frightened as I should have been, but freaked out nonetheless. The drumming in my chest grew more prominent as the milliseconds passed. Yet, my eagerness to be there across the table from him still came out victorious.
“I looked you up on the campus portal.”
“Why?” I didn't know if I wanted to ask him ‘why’ or ‘how’; but ‘why’ came out first and I simply waited.
Dr. Miller noticed my shaking hand as I picked up the Manhattan. His eyes dropped and rose in less than a second, as to not acknowledge it, though it was plain as day that he observed my involuntary action.
“I'll answer that question if you answer the one I asked you. Why do you get so nervous around me?”
“You know where I live, you know all my grades and you found my social media accounts,” I said, exasperated, “And you want an answer as to why I get so nervous around you?”
“Yes.”
What the hell was wrong with him? There was definitely something wrong with him. There was something wrong with me for not getting up and leaving.
“You want the truth?” Dr. Miller went on. “I was attracted to you the second you spoke to me in that differential, submissive way that just radiates off you, I'm assuming, whenever you're in the presence of a man you perceive as dominant or powerful.”
I took another sip of my drink. My hand was beyond shaking now. It was trembling. Dr. Miller placed his hand over mine on the glass as I went to set it down so it wouldn't spill. I didn't attempt to pull away.
The warmth of his hand sent my hormones into overdrive. I discovered right then that the Molotov cocktail of lust and fear was blocking out any form of logic. I would have been a great mind for a psychology student to study being so equally frightened and aroused at the same time.
“I think you get nervous around me because you know what I could do to you.”
What did he mean by that? I swallowed hard. I couldn't giggle my way out of this the way I often did if I was nervous. My body was in a state of shock and my mind was locked down.
“Is that why you know all that stuff about me?” I needed to know. “Because you're..” I cleared my throat, not fully able to believe what he had just said. “..attracted to me.”
Even after his formal announcement on the matter I still wasn't convinced. There was that stereotypical submissive behavior he was speaking of.
“That's part of the reason,” Dr. Miller confessed, “But I also wanted to..” he pondered for a moment, the first flounder in our conversation. “I wanted to make sure you were.. okay.”
“What are you talking about?” I shook my head
“I looked up your grades and your Instagram account, which you should put on private by the way, because I wanted to know a little more about you. But I looked up your address when I learned about the murder on campus.”
My eyes squinted when he made a casual suggestion about my Instagram account. What was it to him? Why did he care whether my account was set to public or private? He wasn't my dad or my boss or my.. anything else.
“There are some seriously fucked up people out there.” He almost smirked when he said that despite all the tension but his small smile quickly faded. “And all I could think of when I found out about the girl on campus was that it could have been you.”
“You don't even know me.”
“And you don't know me, yet here we are. Two people who took turns following each other home.” He raised his glass to his lips and the amusement was back in those teddy bear eyes of his as they continued to study me.
I glanced down now at my hand that was still shaking and he reached for it again.
“Don't be afraid of me.” It was a plea and a demand rolled into one.
“I probably should be.” I closed my eyes and spoke the words because I was still too chicken shit to look him in the eye as I made my confession. “But you're right.. I get so nervous around you because..”
I fantasize about you pinning me against the wall and kissing me and...
I still couldn't get the words out. When my eyes fluttered open, Dr. Miller let me off the hook.
“I know,” he said quietly. “I could tell right away.”
“Am I that transparent?”
“To me you are.” His hand released mine and there was a wave of disappointment. “And then tonight-”
“You knew I was following you.” It was half-question, half-statement.
“I saw you in the parking lot.”
“Dr. Miller-”
“Joel,” he corrected.
“Joel.” That fit. Joel Miller. I was so smitten over this man that even his first name made me weak in the knees - after he had admitted to violating my privacy on so many levels that should have sent me running, or even reporting him to the university.
Apparently, he was confident enough to think that I wouldn't do that. And he was right. Even for knowing one another for such a short amount of time, it felt like we were on some unspoken level of understanding; some kind of eccentric, warped version of kindred spirits or something.
“Are we on the same page?” He asked now. For the first time there was just the faintest hint of concern in his voice. His hazel eyes shifted back and forth just enough to advertise his uncertainty.
“I think so.” I did think so; but I hardly knew what book we were in.
The series of events were borderline perverse. Dr. Miller had dug into my personal life when he decided I was a perfect match for his antithetical impulses. As a result he felt some kind of connection that led him to follow me home in order to make sure I was alright after the murder occurred on campus.
I hadn't been able to put a halt to my own impure thoughts about him since the moment he walked in the door of class on that first evening. Similarly, there was a dominance and a confidence in the man that was so appealing. It awakened parts of me that I hadn't even realized existed. I wanted him. In the most primal of ways I wanted him.
The fact that he had followed me on Thursday night, I decided, didn't bother me. I could tell that he wasn't bothered in the least by the fact that I had followed him.
And here I was naive enough to call myself the predator and him the prey. Dr. Miller had known all along that I was there. He just waited until the moment was right to let me know that he was, indeed, in control.
There was a silence that had drifted over us but I knew he was reading my body language; deciphering if his decision to be entirely straightforward with me was the right decision. It was - or so that was how I viewed it. The fantasy that had been the focal point of my inner monologue as of late had presented itself on the table right in front of me.
“How old are you?” I lifted my glass again, hoping this time the shake in my hand would subside. It didn't, though I took a quick sip anyway and set the glass back down.
“Forty-four,” he said right away and then added, “Maybe we should play a game of twenty questions.. get to know each other.” That little smirk highlighted his dimples and I knew I was in full swoon.
“Okay,” I agreed.
“My turn,” came his immediate reminder, “Do you like my class?”
I gave a laugh, thankful for the lighthearted question. This one was easy. “Yes. I was disappointed that classes were cancelled this week, actually.”
“So that must've been why you came down to the university.” Dr. Miller winked now without attempting to be subtle about it. “Your turn.”
“Are you married?” It was bold. My face was fifty shades of crimson; but I had to know.
After a brief swirl of the brown liquid in his glass, a smile crept on his face that reminded a bit of The Grinch combined with The Cheshire Cat. “No.”
“Have you ever been?”
“I believe it's my turn.” Dr. Miller smacked his lips after another longer sip from the Manhattan. He smiled wider now and looked me directly in my eyes. I was smiling back at him. “What's your biggest fear?”
My chest tightened just a bit at the question and I saw his fingertips clench the glass a little tighter as the sentence rolled off his tongue.
“Dying,” I answered honestly and knew it was a dark answer. He was probably expecting me to say spiders or the dark. “I'm afraid of.. being forgotten and missing out on whatever's out there for me in the future. And upsetting the people who love me.” I shrugged as if it wasn't genuinely deep thought. It was. Actually saying it aloud was intense.
Dr. Miller's smile had faded. He was staring at me with such a solemn expression that seemed to match what I was feeling inside.
I hardly wanted to change the mood and so I managed a little grin. “It's my turn, I think.” I piggybacked my former question with the one he threw back at me, “Were you ever married?”
“Yes.” He held his glass between his hands by his face like a poker player making a more thorough attempt to hide his cards. “I was about thirty. It lasted less than a year. I haven't been married since.” Dr. Miller's eyebrows rose and fell once, and I could tell he didn't care to elaborate.
I nodded, not knowing if I was crossing the line in our back-and-forth, sophomoric way to get to know each other. Again, I wasn't wholly sure but he didn't appear to mind as his turn rolled around again.
“When did your last relationship end?” He asked.
It had been a while if we were talking about formal relationships. “I've gone out on dates here and there but..” I thought for a moment, “A boyfriend.. it's been over two years.”
“Why didn't it work out?” Dr. Miller leaned forward just a bit with his elbows on the table now. I knew I could have pulled the, 'it's not your turn’ card but I answered the question honestly.
“I was bored.” It was the first time I acknowledged it aloud. “Yeah.. I.. I just got bored and rather than drag it on, I broke it off.”
“No one else has managed to cure that boredom spell huh?”
Not until now. I would have loved to have answered him in that way but I wasn't exactly about to show off my full hand of cards, either. I simply shook my head and saw the squint of his eyes as I assumed he was hoping for a more in-depth response.
I had something on the tip of my tongue that I wanted to ask. The alcohol aided in letting my guard down enough to get it out.
“What are you hiding?” I asked because I knew he was. It was more than a haunch. I could almost see the skeleton in his metaphorical closet.
Disarmed. That was the only word I could use to describe the uplift of his eyebrows, the side glance of his pupils toward the wall, the uncomfortable shift in his posture. It was the first time that night where he truly looked subdued.
There is something. I knew it.
“Hiding?” Dr. Miller tried the cool smile again but it didn't erupt on his face in that same smooth manner the way it had every single time before that. His jaw was a bit strained and he cleared his throat.
“Aren't we all hiding something?” I tried to make the question appear more playful and lighthearted.
“What are you hiding?”
“I asked you first.”
“Well, uh..” His smile was a combination of forced and genuine now. “We’ll revisit that question another time.”
“Fair enough.” Another time. Sounded good to me. I wanted there to be another time. No, I needed there to be another time.
“Are you attracted to me?” Dr. Miller asked, as if he didn't already know.
I didn't beat around the bush. We were here. The boundaries that I so naively assumed would separate us had been breached and he had already made such bold admissions. What did I have to lose by telling the truth?
“Yes.” I was leaning forward now, my hands folded in front of my glass on the table. That one elevated my heart rate and I knew I had forfeited any power when I continued to allow him to ask me questions in rapid succession.
“Did it bother you when I told you I followed you the other night?”
“No.”
“Does it excite you?” He asked.
My cheeks were scorching now. “Yes.”
“Are you going to feel weird when you see me in class from now on?”
“A little.”
Dr. Miller chuckled now and I laughed with him. Wow, how the mood had changed. I think it was possible that I had experienced every emotion there was to feel over the course of our time together. It was exhilarating.
When I saw him take the last swig of his drink I wondered what that meant. Was that a wrap for the evening? Would he order another? I hoped he would. I could have sat at that bar all night with him.
Dr. Miller lanced at my drink and I hurried to take a sip of it in case he wanted to leave.
“Don't,” he said right away, “Take your time.”
“Thanks.” I let out a sigh and he stared at me for so many consecutive seconds that I was starting to think I had something on my face.
“What do you do for a living?” He finally asked.
“For now, I'm a secretary at the board of ed in the next town.”
“So, I guess I'm not the only one getting up early tomorrow.”
“Quarter-to-six.”
“Mmm..” Dr. Miller glanced down and swirled the ice in his glass.
“Can I ask you one more question?” When he gave a little nod I asked, “Did you get in the elevator with me last week on purpose? I mean.. was it just to ride with me?”
His answer shocked me. Well, the detailed version of what I assumed, by now, would be a simple ‘yes' is what left me in a heated awe.
Dr. Miller's jaw tightened again and he spoke through partially gritted teeth. “When I saw you walking toward that elevator..” His eyes closed briefly and then opened again, finding my gaze immediately. “.. it took every ounce of restraint I had in me not to grab you by the throat, pin you up against the wall and shove my hand down the front of whatever pretty panties you happened to have on that night.”
And checkmate.

Rewrite The Stars
Sebastian Stan x Reader Story
Summary: Reader is a woman trapped in a loveless and abusive marriage, struggling to keep herself together for the sake of her daughter, when she meets Sebastian. Despite his Hollywood star status, he unexpectedly shows her the love and care she's been missing and her world begins to shift.
Days and weeks passed and reader's relationship with Sebastian deepens to the point she dared to share everything with him, but they never passed the invisible line that is her marriage, until one day her loyalty to her husband was tested as they find themselves alone and desire creeps in. Will she give in to the temptation?
A/N : This story deals with topics of domestic abuse and SA, as well as infidelity (of course I don't support infidelity in any way but in this story I have a very good reason to include it). So if you feel you can be triggered by these topics, it's best to not read it. The topics are heavy and aimed at 18+ readers so if you're under 18, I advise you not to read it.

Chapter 4
Warning: depiction of the aftermath of physical abuse
Y/n sat on the edge of her bed, her body aching from the fresh bruises her husband had left. Each breath strained her bruised ribs, and the dull pain from his grip on her arm throbbed under her skin. He had twisted it so hard earlier, she was sure something had cracked, but the fear of making any noise had kept her silent as he raged. And now, he was sleeping beside her, peacefully, as if nothing had happened.
Her thoughts were a whirlwind of emotions—shame, anger, desperation. It had never been this bad. Each blow had hit harder than before, and for the first time, she wondered how much longer she could take it. But she couldn't leave. Not yet. The thought of disrupting her daughter's life, of losing everything, kept her rooted to this miserable existence.
The apartment was still, the ticking of the clock deafening in the silence of the night. Her phone lay in her lap, the screen dark, as she wrestled with herself. She shouldn't do it. She shouldn't reach out to him—not now, not like this. But Sebastian was the only person who had ever made her feel safe, the only person who had been kind when the rest of her world was filled with cruelty.
Before she could stop herself, she opened her messages. Her fingers hovered over his name for a long moment before she finally typed the words she had been holding in for far too long.
"I'm sorry for texting you this late. I just... I don't know what else to do. He hit me again. Worse this time. He grabbed my arm and twisted it, then slapped me so hard I fell. I can't even breathe properly from how hard he hit my ribs. I feel so stupid and pathetic telling you this... but I don't know how to leave. I'm scared. I don't want to drag you into my mess, but I feel like I'm drowning and you're the only person I can reach out to. I hate him, Sebastian. I hate him so much, but I'm terrified. I'm sorry if this is too much."
She stared at the message after sending it, her stomach twisting in knots. She had just unloaded her darkest truth on him, and she wasn't sure how he'd react. She had told him how her husband treated her but never in too much detail, and usually her husband was never this brutal, but something snapped that night. Maybe because his business was getting worse and worse, or there was something else she wasn't aware of. In any case, she had never told Sebastian this much detail and she wondered whether Sebastian would push her away? Would he think less of her for staying, for being too weak to leave?
The minutes dragged by, and she was almost certain she had scared him off when her phone buzzed in her hand. She looked down, her heart pounding as his name lit up the screen.
"I'm so sorry, Y/n. Are you okay? Tell me everything. I'm here. Please."
Tears welled up in her eyes. She hadn't expected this—hadn't expected him to care so much. The dam inside her broke, and she poured out the full story in her next message, telling him about the years of abuse, the constant fear, the bruises, the threats, the way her husband made her feel small and worthless. She vented every bit of rage and shame she had been holding in for so long, afraid it would all be too much for him.
"I feel like I'm suffocating," she typed. "I hate myself for staying, but I can't leave. Not yet. Not with my daughter. I don't know how to protect her."
The silence that followed made her chest tighten. She had said too much, been too raw, too vulnerable. Maybe Sebastian didn't want to deal with this, with her broken life. But then, her phone buzzed again.
"I'm coming to you. Right now."
Her breath caught in her throat as she read the words. He was coming? Even after everything she had just told him? A part of her wanted to tell him not to come, that it was too dangerous, that her husband might wake up—but another part of her longed to see him. To know that someone cared.
Thirty minutes later, another text came through.
"I'm outside. If you want to go to the hospital or the police, I'll take you. Whatever you need."
Her heart swelled with a mixture of relief and fear. She wanted to leave, to go with him, but the idea of stepping into the unknown terrified her. What if her husband found out? What if her daughter got caught in the middle? She couldn't risk it—not yet. But she couldn't ignore Sebastian either. She needed him, if only for a moment.
She quietly slipped out of bed, pulling on a sweater to cover her bruised arms. Her husband slept soundly, his snores filling the darkened apartment. She tiptoed out, checking on her daughter for a brief moment before stepping into the cold night air.
The street was empty, the faint glow of the streetlights casting long shadows across the pavement. And there, standing under one of the lights, was Sebastian. His hands were shoved into the pockets of his jacket, his expression filled with worry as he looked up and saw her.
She approached him slowly, her heart in her throat. She opened her mouth to speak, to tell him something—anything—but before she could get a word out, he gently took her hand, leading her into the narrow alley between two buildings. It was quiet there, hidden from the world, and for the first time that night, she felt like she could breathe.
"Y/n..." His voice was soft, full of concern as he looked at her. "Are you okay? Let me take you to the hospital, please. You need to get checked out."
She shook her head, tears already blurring her vision. "I can't. I can't go. What if he finds out? What if... what if they take my daughter away?"
"You're not safe here," he pressed gently. "You don't have to stay in this hell. We can go to the police, file a report. You don't have to do this alone."
Her heart ached at his words. She wanted to believe him, to believe that she could leave and everything would be okay. But fear gripped her too tightly. "I'm scared," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I don't know how to leave. I don't know how to protect her. What if it's worse if I try?"
Tears streamed down her face, and before she could stop herself, she collapsed into Sebastian's chest. His arms wrapped around her without hesitation, holding her tightly as she sobbed into his jacket. All of the fear, the pain, the hopelessness she had been carrying spilled out in her tears, and he held her like he could shield her from all of it.
"I don't know what to do," she whispered between sobs. "I'm so scared, Sebastian."
His hand stroked her hair gently, his voice steady and calm. "You don't have to do it all tonight. Just know I'm here. Whenever you're ready, whenever you need me. I'll be here."
She pulled back slightly, looking up at him with tear-streaked cheeks, her heart breaking under the weight of his kindness. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I don't want to drag you into this mess."
"You're not dragging me into anything," he said softly, his eyes filled with nothing but warmth and compassion. "I'm here because I care about you. And I'll always be here, no matter how long it takes."
His words hit her like a lifeline, but at the same time, they terrified her. She didn't deserve his kindness, his patience. Not when she was too weak to even help herself.
"I just... I can't leave. Not yet. I'm sorry."
Sebastian's expression softened with understanding, though she could see the hurt in his eyes. He wanted to help her, but he knew that only she could make the decision to leave.
"I'll be here whenever you're ready," he repeated gently. "No matter what."
The silence between them was thick with unspoken words, with everything they couldn't say. He held her for another long moment before stepping back, giving her space.
"Take care of yourself, Y/n," he whispered before turning and walking away, his footsteps fading into the night.
She stood there in the cold alley, watching him go, her heart torn between the safety she longed for and the fear that kept her trapped.
But she knew, deep down, that he would always be there when she was ready.
---
One night, a mere one week after she had cried her heart out to him outside her home, something triggered a change in their relationship. They had just finished their usual coffee at their usual cafe when Y/n mentioned that her husband was out of town on a business trip. Sebastian's heart tightened at the thought of her being alone, and before he knew it, the words were out of his mouth.
"Do you want me to walk you home? After you're finished at the cafe?"
She hesitated for a moment but then nodded. "Yeah, that would be nice. Thank you."
They finished their coffee and walked together to the cafe. The tension was palpable as they walked, the connection and attraction building between them with every step that they took.
They finally arrived at Cafe Solace. Y/n stood on the familiar small stage at the cafe, the soft glow of fairy lights casting a warm light over her. The hum of conversations quieted as she picked up the microphone, her fingers lightly brushing its cool surface. Tonight, her heart was heavy, the weight of unspoken feelings pressing against her chest. She glanced toward the corner of the cafe, where Sebastian sat, his presence like a beacon in the room. Their eyes met, and a flicker of something passed between them, an understanding, a tension neither could deny any longer.
As the first notes of "Secret Love Song" played softly through the speakers, Y/n's voice filled the space, raw and full of emotion.
"When you hold me in the street, and you kiss me on the dance floor..."
Her voice was soft but filled with yearning, each word lingering in the air as if she was singing the thoughts she could never voice aloud. Her gaze flickered back to Sebastian, and the connection between them was undeniable. His eyes never left her, and in them, she saw everything she had been trying to suppress—desire, longing, and the ache of a love they could not openly embrace.
"I wish that it could be like that, why can't it be like that? 'Cause I'm yours..."
Her heart clenched as she sang the lyrics, the words striking too close to home. They both knew what it meant—the impossibility of their situation. The love that simmered beneath the surface but could never fully emerge. And yet, here in this cafe, surrounded by people who had no idea of their secret, they shared a moment of silent confession. With each glance exchanged, the air between them grew thick with unspoken promises.
Sebastian leaned forward in his seat, his intense gaze locked on her. His hand rested on the table, fingers curling slightly as if resisting the urge to reach out to her. Y/n felt her throat tighten, her voice catching in her chest for a second before she pressed on, pouring every bit of her emotion into the song.
"Why can't I say that I'm in love? I wanna shout it from the rooftops..."
Her voice rose with passion, the pain of hiding, the yearning for more—every emotion she had buried deep inside spilling out into the open. The cafe seemed to fade around them, the soft murmurs of the crowd becoming a distant hum as they remained locked in that shared moment. She could feel her pulse quicken, a mixture of fear and anticipation buzzing beneath her skin. Something was going to change tonight. They both knew it.
As the song neared its end, Y/n's heart ached. Her voice softened once more, the final lines filled with a bittersweet edge.
"And nobody knows... We got a love that is hopeless..."
She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to steady herself, but when she opened them again, Sebastian's gaze was still there, unwavering. His expression held a quiet determination, as if the night had revealed something neither of them could ignore any longer.
The last notes of the song faded into silence, and the audience erupted into applause. But Y/n barely heard it. All she could feel was the rapid beating of her heart and the way Sebastian's eyes held hers, full of the promise that something between them had shifted. She knew then—tonight wouldn't end like all the others. Something had changed. Something was about to happen.
---
The night was quiet as Y/n and Sebastian walked side by side, the silence between them heavy with unspoken words. The cool air brushed against her skin, but it wasn't enough to temper the warmth that seemed to radiate between them, an invisible pull neither of them could ignore. Every step they took toward her apartment felt like a step toward something inevitable, something dangerous, and yet, neither of them stopped. Neither of them dared to break the fragile silence.
When they reached her apartment, Y/n hesitated at the door. Her heart was racing, her mind spinning with the weight of everything she was trying to suppress. She wanted to invite him in, but she knew it wasn't right. Still, the thought of letting him walk away felt unbearable. As she fumbled for her keys, the door opened, revealing her neighbor, Mrs. Carter, standing in the entryway with her daughter's sleepy form nestled against her shoulder.
"She was perfect, as always," Mrs. Carter smiled warmly, handing the little girl over to Y/n. "She fell asleep a bit ago."
"Thank you so much," Y/n whispered, taking her daughter in her arms. Her heart ached at the sight of her daughter's peaceful face, so innocent, so unaware of the storm brewing inside her mother.
Mrs. Carter glanced at Sebastian with a curious look but said nothing more before gathering her things and slipping out the door with a final nod. As the door closed behind her, Y/n turned back to Sebastian, her daughter cradled in her arms. His eyes softened at the sight, the tension momentarily easing as he watched her with a mixture of admiration and tenderness.
"I'll just be a minute," Y/n whispered, her voice barely audible.
He nodded, watching as she carried her daughter down the hallway toward her room. Y/n's heart thudded in her chest as she laid her little girl down in bed, pulling the covers up to her chin and pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. For a moment, everything felt normal. The weight of the world disappeared as she tucked her in, brushing a few stray curls from her face.
"I love you, baby girl," she whispered, her voice trembling as tears threatened to spill.
Her daughter stirred but didn't wake, and Y/n lingered for just a moment longer before slipping quietly out of the room, closing the door softly behind her.
When she returned to the living room, Sebastian was standing near the window, his hands in his pockets, his gaze distant as if he was trying to control whatever war was raging inside him. But when he turned to face her, the tension returned in full force. The air between them felt thick, heavy with everything they weren't saying, everything they were too afraid to admit.
"I should go," he said softly, his voice strained. But his eyes told a different story. He didn't want to leave, and neither did she.
Y/n stepped closer, her heart hammering in her chest, and opened her mouth to say something—to end this before it spiraled out of control. But before she could get the words out, Sebastian closed the distance between them in one swift, desperate motion. His hands cupped her face, and he kissed her.
The world seemed to stop. His lips were warm and soft, full of longing and need, and she felt herself melting into him despite every alarm going off in her mind. It was wrong. It was all so wrong. But it felt like the most right thing in the world. His kiss was tender, filled with emotions neither of them had dared to speak aloud, and Y/n's hands instinctively clutched his shirt, pulling him closer, returning the kiss with a fervor she couldn't suppress.
Her mind screamed at her to stop, but her body betrayed her, giving in to the overwhelming desire that had been building for months. This was Sebastian. This was the man who had shown her kindness, who had seen her pain and loved her despite it all. She wanted this—wanted him—but deep down, she knew it couldn't be.
She pulled away suddenly, her breath shaky, her heart pounding with a mixture of guilt and desire. "We can't," she whispered, her voice breaking. "My daughter's in the other room... and my husband—"
Sebastian's grip on her tightened, his face inches from hers, his eyes searching hers with a mixture of desperation and pain. "Y/n," he breathed, "I love you."
The words hung in the air like a lifeline, but Y/n felt them like a weight pressing down on her. She had wanted to hear them for so long, but now that they were out in the open, the truth of them terrified her. She couldn't say it back. She wanted to, but she couldn't. Not with her husband, not with her daughter in the next room. The walls she had carefully built to keep her life intact were crumbling, and the reality of what they were doing crushed her.
"I can't..." she whispered, her voice barely audible as tears welled up in her eyes. "I can't say it, Sebastian."
His face fell, the hurt flickering in his eyes for just a moment before he masked it with understanding. But the heartbreak was clear, even in the way he tried to keep his voice steady. "I get it," he said, though the words seemed to pain him more than anything. "I get it... but I meant what I said. I love you."
Tears spilled over, and Y/n turned away, unable to meet his gaze. She loved him, too. She loved him with everything in her, but she couldn't say it. She couldn't do this. Not like this. Not with her daughter just a few feet away. Not with the weight of her marriage pressing down on her. It was too much.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice breaking as guilt tore through her. "I'm so sorry, Sebastian..."
He didn't say anything for a long moment. When she finally turned to look at him, his face was filled with pain, but there was also a quiet understanding. His eyes softened, and he nodded, though his heart was clearly breaking. "I'll go," he said quietly, his voice barely above a whisper.
Sebastian moved toward the door, each step heavier than the last, as if leaving her was the hardest thing he'd ever done. Y/n stood frozen, her hands shaking as she watched him walk away. She wanted to call out to him, to tell him to stay, to tell him that she loved him, too—but she couldn't. She couldn't move. She couldn't speak.
He reached the door, his hand resting on the handle, and turned back to her one last time. "I love you," he whispered again, his voice thick with emotion. Then, without another word, he slipped out into the night, leaving her standing alone in the silence of her apartment, her heart shattered into a million pieces.
Y/n sank to the floor, her sobs muffled by her hands as the weight of what had just happened crashed down on her. She wanted to run after him, to take it all back, to tell him that she loved him—but she couldn't. She couldn't. Because as much as she wanted to be with him, as much as her heart ached for him, she couldn't destroy the life she had built. Not like this.
And yet, as the door clicked shut behind him, she knew that something had changed. Something between them had shifted, and there was no going back. No matter how much she tried to pretend otherwise, her heart was already his. And that realization terrified her more than anything else.

still rambling about work
Something I really want for the next year is to shift my relationship with my work out of it being the emotional center of my life and into something that brings me meaning and purpose but more importantly is a tool that I use to make a good life for myself and my partner.
The reality is that we have made such a very good life. Which brings this profound terror of losing it, but the way to manage that is not to do as much as I can while pretending I don't have multiple chronic illnesses. It's to find a way of living that's sustainable, and to also come to terms with the possibility that there might be times when I can't work, or when I can't work as much as I do now.
There's a lot in between where I am now and not being able to work at all. I can simply do less, rather than continually taking on the equivalent of multiple jobs. I can put my foot down about not being able to travel for work. I can do one day a week with no client contact from home. I can work four days a week. (I could start a goddamn private practice if I really had to.) I can work fewer than that. I hope I can continue working full time, at least for now, both for the financial reasons and also because I love almost all the parts of my job. But it's not the only option.
I can also remember that the power dynamic with my employer doesn't go only one way. I have a very specific combination of knowledge and skills and there may not be anyone who can do precisely what I do in the way that I do it (yet! my work also is to help people get there).
The work that I do requires tolerating a certain amount of risk; I'm good at this, mostly okay with it, and I think more realistic about it than many people who tend to be overly scared where they don't need to be. Earlier this year I encountered a different kind of risk that I hadn't before, because something brushed up against my own history not just in a triggering way but in a potentially material one. I didn't let myself look at it directly then; I pushed it aside in order to continue helping the person I was helping. The risk didn't actually come to pass; I'll probably never know if it was as close as it could have been. But the fact that I couldn't look at it clearly and draw a line was a problem. I need to find a way out of that.

As Red as a Ruby
Pairing: Soft Dark!Andy Barber x Female Reader Summary: You're still finding your footing as a stay-at-home spouse. Word Count: Over 1.4k Warnings: Gaslighting, coercion, creepy vibes, Andy Barber (yep, he's a warning) A/N: Andy and Ruby's Intro for my Disturbia AU! ❤️ Beta read by the lovely @whisperlullaby, but any and all mistakes are my own. Divider by the talented @firefly-graphics. Please follow @navybrat817-sideblog for new fics and notifications. Comments, reblogs, feedback are loved and appreciated!

You suppressed a sigh as you checked your perfectly manicured nails and waited for the casserole to finish. The last time you attempted this meal, you burned the food and the dish. You weren't going to win any cooking awards anytime soon, but you were trying your best for Andy. He deserved to come home to a nice meal.
Even if you needed to get help from one of the other wives.
A well-fed husband is a happy husband.
Rose reminded you earlier on the phone to check whether the top was browned and crisped, and to make sure the liquid had significantly decreased. She also noted to use a food thermometer once finished to ensure you cooked the dish thoroughly at 165 degrees. Admittedly, it already looked and smelled better than the last attempt as you checked it through the glass. That had to be a good sign.
Andy will appreciate a home cooked meal.
You blinked when the timer went off, praying you didn't drop the dish as you grabbed the oven mitt and carefully removed it. "Shit. Come on," you muttered to yourself as you tried to shut the door with your foot, getting it on the second attempt before you set the food down. After a moment, you laughed at yourself and grabbed the thermometer. Looking the part of a housewife was easy, but actually living it?
It's what I signed up for though. I'm a housewife in progress and my husband is proud of me.
"What's that?" you heard from the doorway.
"Fuck!" you yelled, the thermometer falling to the floor with a clatter as you clutched your chest. "Jesus, Andy. You scared the shit out of me," you said, your heart pounding still as you took a calming breath.
A good wife should speak like a lady.
Your husband casually leaned against the frame with a chuckle. He already had his jacket off and loosened his tie. You hadn't even heard him come in. You must've been too invested in making sure dinner turned out right. It didn't surprise you in the least that he stood quietly for God knows how long.
He liked to watch you.
"Sorry, honey. I didn't mean to scare you," he said all too innocently as you frowned at him. "You're lucky Steve isn't here. He'd scold you for that language."
"Steve isn't my husband," you pointed out.
Thank God for that. I wouldn't last one week as his wife.
Most of the men expected a certain level of decorum out of their partners, but Andy was lenient as long as you didn't embarrass him.
"No, he isn't. I might take issue if you suddenly wanted him," Andy agreed, crossing the room to press a kiss to your warm cheek. "You made a casserole."
You straightened up a little. He kept his tone light, but you wondered if he was judging it. And you. "I tried. Rose gave me some tips."
"That was kind of her. And probably the best one to give you advice since she's one of the best cooks on the block."
A twisted sort of smile formed on your face. Though you agreed that Rose was a wonderful cook, you couldn't help the surge of envy that worked its way into your chest as you thought of her and the other wives. Cherry baked the best treats. Rumor had it that Ginger wanted to start teaching exercise classes for the other wives.
What the hell do I bring to the table?
"Yeah, she is," you said, bitterness creeping in as you bent down to snatch up the thermometer.
Andy stepped back to let you go to the sink. "Did I say something wrong?"
"Nope," you said, glancing over your shoulder when you felt his deep blue eyes on you.
"I don't like it when you lie to me," he said in a low voice.
You almost dropped the thermometer again. Andy grew up in a world of secrets and lies. Though it shaped him into the man you loved, he didn't want you to keep anything from him, especially after his first marriage fell apart. No matter how big or small the issue or what your feelings were, he wanted the truth.
A good wife is truthful with her husband.
"It's just," you started as you tore your gaze away, not wanting him to see the vulnerability in your eyes. "I suck at this homemaker thing, Andy. I'll never be able to make masterpieces like Rose or anyone else. I'm lucky I don't iron a hole in your shirts."
"You know I couldn't care less about your cooking skills or any of that," he said, slipping his arms around your waist from behind. You went limp in his hold, happy that he wasn't upset. "That's not why I'm with you."
Why are you?
"Don't you mean my lack of skills?" you mumbled.
"Well, I didn't want to say anything, but…" he teased, brushing his beard along the column of your neck. "You're special to me, okay? Isn't that enough?"
Warmth replaced the envy that previously bloomed in your chest. While Andy wasn't a hero in the traditional sense like Steve or Bucky, he helped many as a lawyer. With his confidence, charm, and good looks, he could have anyone he wanted. Choosing you to be his side was much more than a dream come true.
It was a chance at a better life.
"It's more than enough," you promised.
"Before we sit down to eat, there is something we need to talk about," he said, turning you around to face him. "Something I need you to do for me."
"What is it?"
"I'm sure you already heard through the grapevine that Bucky has a wife," he said.
You nodded. Like the other wives, you were sure she had some kind of skill or hobby that would make Bucky a proud husband. You wondered how the two of you would get along. The last thing you needed to do was piss off the wife of the former Winter Soldier.
Her opinion doesn't matter. Only Andy's.
"Steve and Cherry plan to have a small get together after they get settled to welcome her to the neighborhood."
"And you want me to make her feel welcome?" you guessed.
"Cherry is the welcome wagon. You are going to keep an eye out for her," he corrected you. "The Haven is amazing, but it can be a bit of an adjustment. We need to make sure she fits in and falls in line. Be her friend. Be her confidant if you need to."
A good wife does what her husband says.
"I'll be her friend," you assured him, especially if it meant Andy would be happy. "Have you met her?"
"Not yet. They're still in their honeymoon phase," Andy replied.
So she's getting her back blown out.
"But you come right to me if anything feels wrong," he said, grasping your chin so you knew how serious he was. "Understood?
"I'll make sure she knows her place if she forgets it," you promised.
The Haven is euphoric and every wife is lucky to be here.
"Thank you," he smiled before he softly kissed your lips. You melted into it, the casserole long forgotten as you opened your mouth to him. He ended the kiss just as abruptly as it started, leaving you wanting more. "I'm sure we have nothing to worry about, but we can't be too careful."
"Of course," you smiled.
However Andy needs me to help, I'll do it.
"Now why don't you set the table while I pour us some wine?" he suggested, brushing his thumb along your bottom lip. "That red one you love."
You nibbled on his thumb with a smirk. For everything you lacked in the traditional sense, you kept him happy sexually. A faithful, giving wife through and through. "Good because the white one gives me a headache."
"We can't have that now, can we?"
"No, we can't," you said, sneaking another kiss in before you slipped out of his hold to get the plates.
"Oh, Ruby?" he asked.
"Yeah?"
"I'm proud of you for cooking," he said sincerely, your cheeks hot from the praise. "And I know you'll keep making me proud, won't you?" he said, turning the stove off for you.
"I will," you smiled.
"That's my girl."
I'll be the best wife for you and more.

for the ask game… 30?
(also I know this isn’t on the list but is there any WIP you’re super excited about?)
Thanks for the ask! (and for the freeform question giving me the opportunity to rant about my WIPs! <3 ) 30. Biggest surprise while writing this year? I have a different answer for this one here, but I wrote a second answer since it occurred to me a bit earlier lol The most surprising thing was that in the middle of writing a DickTim oneshot, some random implied BruDick UST got in there somehow?? Which was surprising because I've never written brudick and don't generally read it. But the fic is going to do what the fic is going to do, I suppose 😂 Is there any WIP you’re super excited about? Absolutely!! One that I've been actively stopping myself from publishing parts of is the slowburn DickTim fic that I'm working on. It started as a oneshot of the two of them being stuck in a snowstorm together post Red Robin and having to work their shit out (and there was only one bed lol). Then it became a 5 + 1 of times they had shared beds. Aaaaand then it became a slowburn covering the arc of their relationship from A Lonely Place of Dying to post-RR. It's completely gone off the rails lol. The exact number keeps changing, but this thing currently has 60 planned chapters. I've written 65k words of it and it's probably not even a quarter done. But!! As I've been writing, I've also been re-visiting post-crisis comics with the two of them in it, which is fun since I haven't really taken the time to do that chronologically before. Excerpt from Chapter 2:
For the hundredth time that night, Dick looks at the last picture ever taken of him and his parents. It had arrived at the manor a week after he’d been moved in, sent in the mail by the couple who’d asked to have it taken. The edges are a bit worn, but he’s kept it out of the light and done everything he could to make sure that the colors don’t fade.
What would they want him to do?
He’s been turning that question over in his mind for hours now and he still isn’t sure. Or maybe he just doesn’t want to be sure…
They’d always told him that kids didn’t really run away to the circus anymore, but on the off-chance that one did, then the best thing to do was to be kind. Anyone running away like that was dealing with something serious in their life, and it was the right thing to do to try and find a way to help.
He can’t help but laugh a little, under his breath. From hypothetical runaway kids to whatever animals wandered through Haly’s looking for food and shelter, his parents had always had a soft spot for strays.
Not that this kid counts as a stray, exactly. Or that he ran away to join the circus.
Honestly it would be easier if he had.
The windows are a bit grimy from everyone who’s used this trailer over the years, but faint moonlight still shines through. Just enough of it to illuminate the rise and fall of the blankets on Dick’s bed.
A few days ago, he’d expected to spend most of his weekend helping out around Haly’s and prepping for the Saturday and Sunday night shows. Being ambushed by an over-eager kid from Gotham who looks like he weighs about ninety pounds soaking wet hadn’t been anywhere near his radar.
If he was in the Manor, he could have just relegated the kid to one of the many guest rooms. But if he was in the Manor, then the kid wouldn’t have felt the need to come looking for him, would he?
He sighs, letting his head fall back against the chair that he’d squeezed into the too-small space of the trailer. He tries not to wish Roy were here to offer him the strongest drink he could scare up.
On the bed, the kid shifts in his sleep, turning over. His face holds nothing of the frantic, intense expression he’d first come to Dick with, asking him to go back to Gotham.
And talk to Bruce. And be Robin again.
As if he hadn’t left that all behind him for good reasons.
As if Bruce hadn’t been very clear that he doesn’t need or want a partner ever again.
Maybe the kid would be less keen on the idea of Dick going back if he told him that Bruce erased every last trace of the last Robin from the Manor and Cave. Or if he told the kid that the large, dark bruise on his face was from Bruce’s fist. Then again… maybe he already knows? The little stalker broke into Dick’s apartment and rifled through his memories of better times. Despite being a teenager with no apparent training outside of what are probably judo lessons, he managed to take clear, distressingly up-close pictures of the goddamn Batman. He outright admitted that he knows who they are.
Dick’s not sure what to do about that. Anyone who knows their identities is a risk. And yet, this kid was able to figure it out… admittedly through means that wouldn’t be apparent to anyone who wasn’t as weirdly obsessed with his civilian persona as this kid seems to be. Even so, it’s dangerous to have people out there who know. What’s stopping some villain from snatching the kid off the street and making him talk?
He closes his eyes, one hand rubbing circles against his temple as he tries to will away the oncoming headache.
That’s reason enough to bring him to Bruce for questioning, even if he wasn’t right about Bruce going off the deep end. Even if every step Dick has taken to try and stop Bruce from spiraling has been rebuffed. Sometimes violently.
When his eyes open again, the kid is staring back at him. His blue irises are even harder to miss in the moonlight.
“I… um. Are you sure you don’t want the bed?” he asks. “I don’t mind sleeping in the chair…”
It’s not the first time tonight Dick has wondered if he should have just driven them directly to Gotham, despite the setting sun and the likelihood of catching Bruce in the volatile post-patrol fugue that has become all too common with the man these days.
“No, it’s fine,” he says. “I don’t sleep much anyway.”
The kid’s eyes get a little wider. A little brighter.
“Because of N-”
“Yes,” Dick says, cutting him off a bit more sharply than he intended.
If the kid notices, he doesn’t show it. Instead, he nods solemnly, as if Dick had just confirmed every suspicion he ever had about the way the world works.
His eyes are still wide though. Dick remembers them being the first thing he clocked about the kid. Blue eyes. Lighter than his, but darker than Bruce’s. More of a grey-blue, compared to the near-teal that Jason’s had been.
Blue eyes. Black hair. Asking about Batman.
The kid’s a walking bad omen. And Dick doesn’t need to be a detective to see the pattern here. If he brings this kid to Bruce and they actually manage to get him out of his funk, then…
“Hey, kid,” he says.
“Tim,” the kid says back to him. He doesn’t look particularly put out by Dick not remembering his name.
“Okay, Tim. Where are your parents?”
Tim blinks at him. “Somewhere in the Gobi Desert. Or, they were there last week, at least.”
Dick is so distracted by the fact that the kid has living parents, and thus no need for a new guardian, that it takes him a moment to register what the kid actually said.
“Wait, if they’re in the Gobi Desert…”
“I’m in boarding school,” Tim volunteers. “We’re on break right now, so I was able to sneak out.”
“And come… here?”
Tim nods.
“Because someone had to tell you that Ba-” he jumps at Dick narrowing his eyes, “that Bruce has been getting worse. He needs help. He needs Robin.”
As if Dick doesn’t know. Then again, maybe his inaction looks like ignorance to this kid who traveled to another state at the drop of a hat to help someone he met once as a toddler. He’s not sure if the kid’s rose-colored glasses are because of his age or because he doesn’t know Bruce personally. Or, more likely, both.
“That doesn’t change anything,” he says. “I can’t be Robin again.”
Tim stares back at him guilelessly. “Why not?”
Now that’s a question.
“You think I’d still fit in those scaly panties?” Dick says, smiling humorlessly and side-stepping anything resembling a real answer.
Tim flushes. “Um… no. I guess not.”
“Exactly.”
“But… someone has to do something.”
“I’m going to do something, but it has nothing to do with being Robin.” Dick says. “I’m going to try to talk him down. Again. If even people outside the community are starting to notice Bruce’s… coping mechanisms, then we’ve got a problem. Hopefully he’ll be able to see that.”
Tim smiles, though just a little.
“Thank you,” he says, as if Dick is doing him a personal favor.
Part of him wants to tell the kid not to get his hopes up. But… he’ll know soon enough. And far be it from Dick to crush what little optimism the kid’s likely to have about the situation.
