OUR DAY WILL COME ₊˚⊹ ᰔ
Being Bo Chow’s Wife headcanons…
a/n: this was written with a black fem reader in mind (this is a little self indulgent lol) but anybody can read & enjoy this! I’m not strictly a Sinners blog so I won’t be writing for these characters all the time. Also, the backstory was inspired by @nothanksofficer, so go check them out 💌!!
Currently listening to: We’ll Be United by The Intruders
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You cannot tell me that this man doesn't teach you how to string together sentences in Mandarin (if you don't already speak it). It'd start with him having sweet little nicknames for you in his native tongue, then you'd get curious & end up wanting him to teach you what he knows.
Many of the nicknames he has for you derive from your characteristics & personality. I'm really set on the fact that he'd call you 'little sweetheart' in Mandarin. It's also quite obvious if you've seen the movie that he'd call you baby. Imagine this man calling you baby/sweetheart/honey in that smoky southern accent...I need to be put down.
You were known in town as the girl to go to if somebody needed artistic or creative direction in whatever they were working on. That lady down the street needs help patching up a dress? You'd show up with your sewing kit ready to go. The owner of a local bakery needs assistance painting over some stubborn stains? You'd be there with your very own paint, gloves, brushes, and a little stool for you to stand on. That's how you and Bo met in the first place. He was in desperate search for somebody that'd be able to help him produce a sign for his store. Every time he'd ask somebody if they knew anyone who could assist him in such a task, they'd reply with your name and nod their head towards your studio.
and by God, were you gorgeous. Bo stumbled over his words for a good ten seconds before pausing and finally spitting out "uh d'ya think ya could help me with a sign? I heard ya paint and do all sorts of things and uh- it's for my store." He was nervous but he'd be damned if he screwed up his first impression and ruined all his chances of working with you in the future. But, you simply flashed a sweet smile his way and graced him with an enthusiastic "of course! Whaddya have in mind?"
he loves eating pussy. send!
he’s very very handsy when he’s eating you out. One of his hands is always kneading and pinching your tits, savoring your sweet little sounds before trailing down to settle his hand on your tummy. He wraps his strong arms around your aching thighs, anchoring your hips down to the bed.
What he had in mind was him getting his act together so he could see that sweet little smile of yours every single day & night.
Bo definitely wants to have at least one baby with you. He's brought it up many times when the two of you are laying in bed together, skin-to-skin, after he's worn you out. He'll trace your plush hips n torso with his fingers, racking his eyes up the body that he adores oh so much before saying "I think we should go again, hm? Just to make sure it really sticks."
This man is suave he knows exactly how to flirt with you and what it takes to get you going. He doesn't lay it on thick (unless it takes you a while to understand he's flirting), he's slow with his touch and intentional with his words. Sorta like a game of cat and mouse.
Gives amazing massages. He'd definitely be the type to plop your sore feet onto his lap after a long day of walking around and start rubbing them.
"Does that feel good? Oh, I bet it does. You're real tense, baby."
He is a monster when it comes to eye contact and he'd do it even more if you're quick to get shy. He uses your flustered state to his advantage and gets you to finally look at him by placing a hand on your chin & tilting your head in his direction.
"y'know you can look at me right, ya don't gotta be all shy. Such a pretty lil thing, aint'cha?"
His proposal was one of the sweetest things you ever witnessed. You couldn't contain the gasp that left your mouth at the sight of him getting down on one knee. He went on to list all of his favorite things about you, your sweetness, compassionate nature, the protectiveness you harbor for the things you cherish. He recited his favorite moments that the two of you have shared, how he loves when your nose scrunches up when something is too sweet, how you bite your lip when you're concentrating, how you can't help but close your eyes and smile when your favorite song comes on.
"and I just knew from the very first moment I saw ya, baby, that you were the girl I wanted to settle down with. I wanted to bring you to meet my mom an' dad, buy ya a house, give you my baby if you'd let me, everything -anything you wanted, I wanted to give it to ya. and that's exactly what i'ma do, baby. All ya gotta do is say yes."
He undoubtedly got misty eyed seeing you walk down the aisle. Your wedding photos look a lot like the ones below (I know these aren’t time accurate let me have fun):

Bo is most definitely the type of man to hand feed his woman. Whenever the two of you are working on dinner together, he’ll hold a spoon up to your mouth so that you can have a taste of what he’s fixing up.

I’ll be posting a part two soon so let me know if you’d like to be tagged once it’s finished 💌🌷.

Technical Difficulties
───୨ৎ────────୨ৎ───────୨ৎ───
Summary: Breaking your laptop is annoying enough—but it gets a little more fun when the guy fixing it for free turns out to be ridiculously hot.
Warnings: Backshots by Felix, No panties for Felix, Orgasm with Felix
Pairing: NonIdol!Felix x Fem!Reader
───୨ৎ────────୨ৎ───────୨ৎ───
“FUCK.” Y/N smacked the back of her laptop, her frustration echoing through the lecture hall. Every head in the room turned toward her. She shrank under the weight of their stares. “Sorry.”
Seungmin, her best friend since forever, sighed beside her. “Y/N, you need to get that thing fixed. Duct-taping your battery isn’t a long-term solution.”
She groaned, slumping against the desk. “Yeah? Well, I don’t exactly have the money to fix it.”
Seungmin rubbed his temples like he was debating whether to strangle her or help. “Okay, listen. I have a friend—same campus, studies choreography. He fixes laptops in his free time.”
Y/N perked up. “How much?”
“For me? Nothing. So if I go with you, he might make an exception.”
She exhaled in relief. “Seungmin, I love you.”
“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go before that thing explodes in your hands.”
────୨ৎ────
With her tote bag slung over her shoulder, Y/N walked beside Seungmin across campus. The Australian sun was merciless today, heat clinging to her skin even though she was wearing a light summer dress. She could already feel sweat forming at the nape of her neck.
Seungmin cut through the park, heading straight for the big tree where a group of guys usually gathered. Y/N never paid them much attention—she didn’t care for most people on campus.
But then he spoke.
“Hey, guys.”
Y/N barely registered the greeting because—holy shit—she knew him. Well, not personally. But Hyunjin was practically a campus legend. Every girl she met wouldn’t shut up about him. So beautiful. So romantic. So sweet. So dreamy. She had rolled her eyes at it a million times.
And there he was, lowering his sketchbook, black curtain bangs shielding his eyes from the sun like he was straight out of a damn movie.
But next to him?
Yeah. That’s where things got interesting.
Y/N suddenly cared a whole lot more about Seungmin’s friends.
She had heard Felix’s name before, but good God, she had not been prepared for this. His blonde hair was tied back, a few strands falling artfully into his absurdly beautiful sculpted face. She could see the outline of his toned arms beneath his white tank top, the sun casting a golden glow on his tan skin.
He glanced up at Seungmin with a lazy smile.
“Seungmin, hey.”
And just like that, Y/N’s laptop was no longer her biggest problem.
Felix’ eyes landed on her. „And hey, you.“
Y/N felt heat rush to her face. “Hi.”
Felix’s smile widened instantly.
Seungmin got straight to the point. „She’s got a broken laptop for you to fix. Think you can do it?“
„Sure.“ Felix shot Y/N another reassuring smile. „What’s the problem?“
She hesitated, glancing at Seungmin, who gave her a look—a silent just answer him already. Scrambling, she reached into her tote bag and pulled out the laptop.
Hyunjin, who had been watching silently, blinked. „Jeez, just put it to rest, girl.“
Felix chuckled as he took the laptop from her hands. „Why did you duct tape the battery?“
Y/N shifted awkwardly. „No money for repairs,“ she mumbled, suddenly embarrassed.
Felix hummed, examining the damage. „Yeah… I get that. I’ll fix it this week. You can pick it up on Saturday from my place.“ He glanced up at her. „Not really a fan of making ladies come to me by themselves, but my schedule is packed this weekend.“
„Oh, no! Don’t worry, it’s totally fine! I’ll pick it up!“ she blurted out quickly.
Felix turned to Seungmin with an amused smirk. „Your girlfriend?“
Seungmin made a face. „Thank god, no. We just grew up together.“
Felix nodded, then looked at Y/N again, his voice softer this time. „Don’t worry about the money. I’ll do it for free.“
────୨ৎ────
Y/N took a deep breath as she stood in front of his House door, adjusting the strap of her tote bag. She wasn’t sure why she was nervous. It was just Felix. Just the hot guy she barely knew who had offered to fix her laptop for free. No big deal.
She knocked twice.
The door swung open almost immediately, revealing Felix in nothing but sweatpants, his toned upper body on full display. His damp blonde hair suggested he had just showered, and Y/N had to make a conscious effort to keep her eyes on his face.
“Hey,” he greeted with a lazy grin, leaning against the doorframe.
“Hey,” she replied, clearing her throat. “I, uh… came to get my laptop.”
Felix smirked, tilting his head. “Yeah, I figured. Come in.”
She stepped inside, the scent of his cologne mixed with something warm and sweet—vanilla? Cookies? Her stomach growled in betrayal, and Felix chuckled.
“Did you eat today?”
“I’m fine,” she said quickly, watching as he walked over to his desk. Her eyes involuntarily traced the muscles in his back before she forced herself to look away.
Felix picked up her laptop, holding it out to her. “All fixed. Should last you a while now.”
She reached for it, but he didn’t let go immediately. Their fingers brushed, and Y/N felt a jolt of something—anticipation?
“Careful with it this time,” Felix murmured, his voice lower than before.
Y/N swallowed. “Yeah. Sure. Thanks.”
────୨ৎ────
“YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BREAK IT AGAIN!” Seungmin practically shouted, his voice echoing through the hallway.
Y/N clutched her laptop to her chest, guilt flashing across her face for a split second before she stubbornly lifted her chin. “HOW ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO TALK TO HIM AGAIN?!”
Seungmin stared at her like she had just confessed to arson. “Are you serious? You’re seriously considering destroying your laptop just so you have an excuse to see Felix again?”
“Apparently!”
Seungmin dragged a hand down his face, exhaling sharply. “Y/N, I beg you—just go up to him. He’s literally the nicest guy on this entire campus.”
Y/N groaned dramatically, leaning against the wall like the weight of her feelings was physically crushing her. “Seungmin, I love you, but no. He might be nice and very kind and very friendly—”
“Yeah, it’s Sunshine Felix we’re talking about,” Seungmin deadpanned, folding his arms.
“BUT I CAN’T JUST DO THAT!” Y/N wailed. “What am I supposed to say? ‘Hey, I know you did me a huge favor for free, but I think I left my dignity at your house and was hoping I could come pick it up?’”
Seungmin rolled his eyes. “I dunno, maybe something normal like ‘Hey, Felix, how’s it going?’”
Y/N looked at him, completely unimpressed.
“You clearly don’t understand how unhinged my feelings are right now,” she said, voice completely serious. “I am literally one intrusive thought away from throwing my laptop off the balcony just to recreate our meet-cute.”
Seungmin groaned. “I hate you.”
“And yet,” Y/N smirked, “you’re still gonna help me.”
────୨ৎ────
The next day, Y/N found herself once again marching across campus with Seungmin, her laptop clutched in her arms like a newborn.
“You cannot be serious,” Seungmin muttered beside her.
Y/N lifted her chin. “I don’t know what you mean.”
“You do know what I mean.” He gestured at the laptop. “You just got that thing back. Yesterday. And now, what? It magically broke again?”
Y/N cleared her throat. “Technology is fragile.”
Seungmin groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “Y/N, I swear to God—”
Before he could finish, they arrived at the big tree where Hyunjin and Felix were lounging as usual. Hyunjin had his sketchbook open, absentmindedly twirling a pencil, while Felix leaned back against the trunk, scrolling on his phone.
Seungmin sighed like he was about to walk her down the aisle. “Here we go again.”
“Hey, guys,” he called.
Felix looked up, and the second his gaze landed on Y/N, his lips curled into an amused smile.
“No way,” he said, sitting up straighter. His eyes flickered to the laptop in her arms. “Already?”
Y/N’s breath hitched. Oh god, he was so hot. And now he was laughing at her.
She forced herself to act normal. “I—um—it’s not what it looks like.”
Felix raised an eyebrow. “It looks like you broke it again.”
Y/N huffed. “Well, I didn’t—it just… stopped working.”
Felix leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees. “Mhm. And how exactly did it ‘just stop working’?”
Y/N avoided his eyes. “It just happened.”
Felix chuckled, clearly entertained. “Alright, let’s see it.”
She handed it over, and their fingers just barely brushed. Y/N tried not to react, but her entire body was hyper-aware of the fleeting touch. Felix smirked like he knew.
He turned the laptop over, inspecting it. “You sure you’re not doing this on purpose?”
“What?!” Y/N squeaked. “Of course not! That would be insane!”
Felix grinned. “Mhm. If you say so.”
Y/N felt like she was about to explode on the spot. Meanwhile, Seungmin looked like he wanted to fling himself into the nearest bush.
“Just tell me when it’s fixed,” she mumbled.
Felix tapped his fingers against the laptop. “Thursday?”
Y/N nodded quickly. “Thursday.”
And with that, she turned on her heel and walked off, dragging Seungmin with her before she could embarrass herself any further.
Once they were out of earshot, she exhaled sharply. Then, with complete determination, she said, “I’m picking it up without underwear.”
Seungmin choked on his own breath, nearly tripping over his own feet. “WHAT?!”
Y/N didn’t waver. “You heard me.”
He stared at her, absolutely horrified. “You’re beyond saving.”
She just smiled.
────୨ৎ────
Y/N thought she had the guts. She really did.
But now, standing in front of Felix’s family home again—this expensive, ridiculously pretty house that somehow made her feel even smaller—she chickened out. Underwear very much on.
Felix leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, looking just as unfairly attractive as always. His eyes flickered down to the laptop in her hands before meeting hers again, amusement dancing in them.
“So,” he said, a lazy smirk tugging at his lips, “you planning on actually keeping it alive this time?”
Y/N felt her face heat up. “I—it wasn’t my fault.”
Felix chuckled. “Mhm. Sure.”
Y/N turned around and almost sprinted back home.
────୨ৎ────
Well… she couldn’t break it again, right? But she could pretend to struggle with a software issue… yes… that was perfect.
The next day, when she asked Seungmin to go with her to Felix again, he looked like he was about to commit a crime.
“Y/N,” he deadpanned. “I swear to God—”
“Please, Seungmin. Just one more time.”
“One more time? That’s what you said the two times before!”
But despite all his complaints, he still found himself walking the same damn path across campus for the third time. When they reached Felix and Hyunjin again, Seungmin muttered, “I can’t believe this.”
Felix looked up from his own laptop, instantly breaking into a smile. “Don’t tell me you broke it again.”
Y/N shook her head way too fast. “No! No, I just— I need your help with a program. I can’t figure it out, and since you’re good with tech—”
“Sure, pretty,” Felix interrupted smoothly.
Y/N went completely still. Her brain short-circuited. Did she hear that right? Pretty?
Hyunjin was already grinning like an idiot, exchanging a glance with Seungmin, who just rolled his eyes. “Oh, this is so painful to watch,” Hyunjin muttered under his breath.
Felix, completely oblivious to the way Y/N was struggling to breathe, checked the time on his phone. “I’m kinda busy today, but come over Friday evening. My family’s out, so it’ll be quieter.”
Y/N blinked at him. His house. Friday. Alone.
“Okay,” she breathed out before she could even think.
Felix grinned and handed her laptop back. “See you then, troublemaker.”
────୨ৎ────
She did it. She actually did it.
No panties.
Y/N took a slow breath as she stood in front of his house, smoothing down the ruffles of her white summer dress. Her heart pounded against her ribs, and the heat pooling in her stomach made it impossible to think straight.
The door swung open, and there he was.
Felix. His blonde hair slightly messy like he’d just run his hands through it. He wore a white tank top and denim jeans—dangerous on him. His toned arms were on full display, and the way the fabric clung to his torso had her pressing her thighs together instinctively.
She was so fucked.
“Hey,” he greeted, his voice warm and effortless, like he hadn’t just sent her body into overdrive.
“Hi,” she answered, hoping he didn’t notice the slight shake in her voice.
“Come in.”
She stepped inside, and he closed the door behind her. His eyes flickered over her dress—the soft fabric, the delicate ruffles—before pointing toward his room.
“You know the way.”
She let out a nervous laugh and walked ahead, unaware of the way his eyes followed her every step.
Felix exhaled slowly, subtly adjusting the condom in his pocket so she wouldn’t see the outline through his jeans. Just in case. He had no idea if things would go that way tonight, but if she had any clue what she was doing to him right now…
He swallowed hard and followed her in.
She sat down in the chair he had placed next to his gaming setup, crossing her legs delicately. The movement made her dress shift slightly, revealing just a hint more of her thigh.
“You hungry? Want something to drink?” he asked, leaning against the desk.
“No, thank you,” she replied with a small smile.
He smiled back—slow, easy. And then he settled into his chair, pushing his setup aside to make space for her laptop.
“So,” he said, cracking his knuckles, “what’s the problem?”
“Well…” She leaned forward, typing in her password. “First, I don’t really understand how this software works…”
Felix nodded, but he wasn’t looking at the screen. His focus had caught on something else entirely—the soft swell of her cleavage as she leaned in. The absence of bra straps.
Fuck.
His jaw tightened slightly as he bit the inside of his cheek, dragging his gaze away before she could catch him staring. But his hands clenched over his thighs, the heat behind his navel spreading fast.
She knows exactly what she’s doing.
He really tried—tried to focus, tried to explain. But her perfume was clouding his head, and the fact that she was so close wasn’t helping.
And then, just like that, he shut the laptop.
Y/N blinked at him. “Uh…?”
Felix exhaled through his nose, leaning back in his chair, his fingers tapping against the desk. His eyes dragged over her, slow, appreciative.
“You really think I can focus on explaining when all I can think about is what’s under that pretty dress?” His voice was low—dangerous. Her breath hitched, heat shooting straight between her legs.
“Excuse me?” she managed, her face burning.
But she knew what he said. And worse? He was right. The trap had worked.
Felix tilted his head slightly, running his tongue over his lower lip. “You heard me.”
She sat back in the chair, suddenly feeling much smaller under his gaze.
He turned his chair to face her fully, his legs spreading just enough to make her pulse race. His hands rested lazily on the armrests, but there was nothing casual about the way he was looking at her now.
“C’mere, gorgeous,” he murmured.
Her breath came short.
She hesitated—only for a second—before slowly lifting one leg over his, then the other. She settled into his lap, straddling him. And that’s when Felix knew.
Knew she wasn’t playing around. Knew she meant to do this.
Because the moment she settled onto him, he could feel everything.
No barriers. No fabric. Just the scorching heat of her dripping core pressing against the rough denim of his jeans.
His grip tightened instinctively on her hips. A slow smirk spread across his lips as he dragged his hands up her back, pulling her in closer.
“You little vixen,” he murmured, voice thick with amusement.
Y/N swallowed hard, her hands gripping his shoulders.
“Are you telling me you really needed help with that software,” he teased, voice dropping an octave, “when you showed up here without any underwear?”
She had to giggle.
Felix grinned at her, shaking his head, amused and wrecked by her at the same time. But then—before she could overthink, before the teasing could stretch any longer—he pulled her closer, his hands gripping her waist with purpose, and crushed his lips against hers.
It was deep. Intense. The kind of kiss that sent her mind spiraling and left her breathless within seconds.
Y/N melted into him, her fingers curling around the fabric of his tank top. He was solid under her hands, all heat and strength, his chest rising and falling against hers as their lips moved together, messy and desperate.
She could feel his heartbeat thundering through him, or maybe it was hers. It didn’t matter.
His hands tightened at her waist, fingers pressing into the soft fabric of her dress like he was trying to memorize the feel of her. And then—fuck it—she went all in.
Her tongue met his, hot and hungry, sliding against his in a way that had him groaning low in his throat.
That sound. That deep, rumbling noise had something dark and needy twisting inside her.
Felix’s hands roamed up her back, his fingers running along the curve of her spine, then sliding down to cup her hips. He pulled her tighter against him, their bodies flush now, no space left between them.
His mouth moved against hers, lips parting, tongues meeting again, and it was sloppy—wet, reckless, desperate. She didn’t care. Neither did he.
His hands traced the hem of her dress, skimming along the bare skin of her thighs. She shivered, her body arching into him instinctively.
Y/N’s fingers threaded into his hair, tugging lightly, and Felix let out a sharp breath against her lips before tilting his head and deepening the kiss even further.
God, he tasted good. Like mint and something sweet, something entirely him. She was getting drunk on it, on him.
Felix pulled away for just a second—just long enough to catch his breath—and looked at her.
Her lips were swollen, slightly parted. Her chest rising and falling quickly. And her eyes—fuck, her eyes were hazy, full of something dark and wanting.
His hand came up, thumb running along her lower lip, smudging the wetness there.
“You’re trouble,” he murmured, voice rough.
Y/N smiled, her breath still shaky. “You like trouble.”
Felix huffed a laugh, then tilted her chin up, his mouth capturing hers again, hungrier this time.
She could feel how much he wanted her. The way his fingers dug into her hips, the way his chest pressed against hers like he wanted to be impossibly closer.
She moved against him, just slightly, and that was it. That was all it took for him to snap.
Felix groaned against her lips and stood up with her in his arms, gripping her thighs as he lifted her effortlessly.
Y/N gasped, instinctively wrapping her legs around his waist.
His mouth found her neck, hot and open-mouthed, sucking lightly as he carried her across the room.
Then he sat down on the edge of his bed with her still in his lap, their bodies tangled together, their kisses turning even more feverish.
Y/N felt her head spin, her entire body buzzing. The heat, the tension—it was overwhelming, consuming, everything.
And as Felix’s hands started to roam again, his lips trailing down her jaw, she knew she was completely, utterly gone.
She looked out of his window, her breath still uneven. The view was breathtaking—golden sand stretching along the australian coast, the waves rolling gently under the soft evening light. The ocean breeze might have cooled her flushed skin if not for the real reason her body was burning.
Felix.
The boy with sun-kissed skin and a wicked smile, trailing kisses along her neck, hands gripping her waist like he never wanted to let go.
Life could be so unfairly beautiful.
She glanced down at him, and when he looked up at her, their eyes locked—electricity humming between them, He kissed her again, this time guiding her hips against him, making sure she felt everything.
A soft moan slipped past her lips.
The friction—the rough denim pressing right where she needed it—was almost too much. And him—hard and heavy against her—there was no mistaking how much he wanted this too.
Felix pulled back just enough to cup her chin, tilting her face up so she had no choice but to look at him. His thumb brushed over her bottom lip, his voice rough and unwavering.
“Take my jeans off,” he murmured. “They’re ruined anyway.”
She nodded, slipping off his lap, her fingers trembling as she worked open his belt.
“Good girl.”
Heat rushed to her face. If she wasn’t already DRENCHED with need, she definitely was now.
He lifted his hips to help her slide his jeans down, kicking them aside. And then—God. Even through his boxers, she could see everything.
Y/N swallowed, her breath hitching as she pressed a kiss to the sharp cut of his hip. Then another, lower this time.
Felix’s jaw clenched.
She bit down on the waistband of his boxers, dragging them down with just her teeth before helping with her hands.
His breath caught.
Her eyes widened.
Fuck.
Every thought in her head evaporated. How was he so perfect? She felt lightheaded, her body thrumming with an almost painful desperation. She wanted to taste him, wanted to feel every inch of him against her tongue, wanted to—
Before she could act on it, Felix caught her chin again, forcing her gaze back to him. His thumb brushed her lips, a smirk playing at his own.
“As much as I’d love to watch you do that,” he murmured, voice dripping with something dark and wrecked, “I need to be inside you more.”
Oh.
She didn’t need to be told twice.
She climbed back onto his lap in an instant, and Felix wasted no time, pulling her into a kiss so deep it stole whatever air she had left.
Then he lifted her, turning, laying her down on the bed with an effortless strength that made her shiver.
Her dress was the next thing to go—torn from her body in one swift motion, tossed somewhere behind him. It landed over his gaming setup, covering his screen completely, but neither of them cared.
Not when he was looking at her like that.
She tugged at his tank top, eager to feel more of him. Felix pulled it over his head and tossed it aside, baring golden skin, freckles and sculpted muscles that tensed under her touch.
God. He really was unreal.
She pressed her lips to his again, a slow, deep kiss that sent heat rolling through her body. His hands slid down her waist, over her hips, before gripping her thighs, massaging the soft flesh as he spread them wider.
“You are so fucking sexy,” he murmured against her lips.
She let out a breathy chuckle. “Says you, you literal greek god.” no way she just said that out loud.
Felix laughed, eyes crinkling at the corners. “What??”
“Nothing—just—” She bit her lip. “Kiss me again, please.”
He didn’t need to be told twice.
Their lips met again, hungrier this time, heat pressing in on all sides. But just as Felix deepened the kiss, she pulled back slightly, breathless. “Condom.”
Felix exhaled sharply, then pushed himself up. Y/N sat up on her elbows, watching as he reached for his jeans.
Her gaze flicked down, and then—
“Oh, you can’t be serious,” she teased, eyes narrowing playfully. “And I’M the vixen? You literally had the condom prepared!”
Felix pulled it from his back pocket with an unapologetic smirk. “Yeah…?”
Her breath caught as she looked at him in the dim moonlight filtering through his window. The soft glow traced over every inch of his body—his toned chest, his small waist, the sharp lines of his hips. He looked like something carved out of marble, like a god out of an ancient myth, too perfect to be real.
And then her gaze dropped lower.
Oh.
Heat pooled between her thighs at the sight of him—thick, hard, so perfectly proportioned that her legs instinctively pressed together.
Felix climbed back onto the bed, settling between her thighs, the condom placed beside her as he ran his fingers up her inner thigh, teasingly close to where she needed him most. His lips found hers again, slower this time, more teasing than urgent. His fingers barely brushed over her clit, and she gasped against his mouth.
“You’re not a virgin, right?” he murmured, his voice low.
She shook her head slightly, heart hammering in her chest. No, she wasn’t. But her first time had been forgettable at best, disappointing at worst. She had never even come with that guy.
Felix’s fingers pressed more firmly now, circling her clit with slow, deliberate strokes. A soft whimper escaped her lips as her hips instinctively tilted up, chasing his touch.
“God, you’re so wet already,” he murmured, dragging his lips down to her jaw. “Can’t wait to fuck you.”
A sharp inhale hitched in her throat as he slipped two fingers inside her, the stretch making her walls flutter. His pace was perfect—just slow enough to tease, just deep enough to make her legs tremble.
She moaned against his lips, gripping the back of his neck and pulling him into another desperate kiss.
Felix groaned into her mouth, fingers curling just right, sending a shiver through her whole body. And then—he pulled them out.
A needy sound of protest left her, but before she could complain, he brought his fingers to his lips and licked them clean, eyes locked on hers the entire time.
Y/N’s breath stuttered.
Holy. Fuck.
Felix smirked at her expression, reaching for the condom with one hand while the other wrapped around himself, stroking slowly. He ripped the wrapper open with his teeth, sliding the condom over his length with practiced ease.
She swallowed hard, pulse racing as she let her legs fall open for him.
Felix leaned down again, one hand bracing beside her head, the other sliding up her thigh.
“You ready, gorgeous?”
“I guess I’ll have to keep breaking laptops in the future,” she whispered, voice breathless.
Felix let out a low chuckle, but it was cut short as he lined himself up and pushed in.
Y/N’s breath hitched—her fingers clutching at the sheets, her head falling back against his pillows as the stretch sent a shiver up her spine.
“Fuck,” she whimpered.
Felix groaned at the feeling of her around him, tight and warm, squeezing him just right. He leaned over her, his hand wrapping loosely around her throat, his thumb pressing just enough to make her focus on him.
“Look at me, sweetheart,” he murmured, his voice deep and commanding.
She blinked up at him, her cheeks flushed, her lips parted in a moan.
“There you are,” he smiled, pressing a soft kiss to her lips before pulling out just enough—then thrusting back in, slow and deep.
Y/N let out a sharp gasp, her nails digging into his back.
Felix picked up his pace, each thrust hitting deep, his name spilling from her lips in broken syllables. His hands moved to her breasts, teasing her nipples with his fingers before lowering his mouth to flick his tongue over them, sucking just hard enough to make her back arch off the bed.
“Felix—”
“I got you, baby,” he whispered against her skin.
He sat back on his knees, gripping her thighs as he lifted them higher, pressing them flush against his chest. The new angle made her cry out—he reached even deeper now, his thrusts sharper, rougher.
She writhed under him, her nails leaving faint red trails on his arms as he drove her closer to the edge.
“Fuck, you take me so well,” he groaned, watching the way she trembled beneath him.
Y/N clenched around him at his words, and he cursed under his breath before gripping her hips and flipping her onto her stomach.
She barely had time to process the shift before he pulled her hips up, pressing a hand against her lower back to keep her in place as he slid back inside.
Her fingers curled into the sheets as he started moving again, this time slower, deeper, making sure she felt every inch of him.
“You’re so fucking perfect,” he murmured, running his hands over her waist, down to her ass, before delivering a teasing slap that sent a jolt of pleasure through her.
Y/N moaned into the pillows, her body melting under his touch.
“You like that?” he smirked, giving her another slow, hard thrust with a slap.
“Yes—please don’t stop,” she gasped.
Felix leaned over her back, pressing a kiss between her shoulder blades.
“Oh, my gorgeous girl”
Y/N’s fingers curled around his sheets, her moans growing louder as he reached even deeper inside her, hitting spots that made her body shake. One of his hands moved to her front, fingers finding her clit and rubbing slow, teasing circles that made her nearly collapse against the bed.
Felix leaned down, his lips brushing against the shell of her ear. “I want you to come for me, baby,” he whispered, his voice sending a wave of heat straight to her core.
Her body tensed as pleasure built rapidly, her moans turning into desperate whimpers. Felix didn’t let up, his movements precise and relentless until she finally unraveled, a shuddering moan ripping from her throat.
Felix groaned at the feeling of her tightening around him, his thrusts growing sloppier as he chased his own release. With a few more deep strokes, he buried himself inside her, letting out a guttural moan as he reached his high.
For a moment, neither of them moved, their breaths mingling in the thick summer air. Y/N collapsed against the sheets, her body still trembling, while Felix pressed lazy kisses along her shoulder, his arm wrapping around her waist to keep her close.
“You,” he murmured against her skin, “are a fucking menace.”
She let out a breathless giggle, turning her head to look at him. “I did warn you I’d keep breaking laptops.”
Felix chuckled, pressing a final kiss to her cheek before pulling her snug against his chest. “Yeah, but now I think you’re just looking for excuses to come back.”
She smirked, biting her lip as she traced patterns on his arm. “Maybe.”
He grinned, brushing a strand of hair out of her face. “No need for excuses, baby. You can come over anytime you want.”
And she definitely planned to.

Y/N stirred as the morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. She felt something heavy draped over her waist and realized it was Felix’s arm, pulling her flush against his chest. His face was nestled against her neck, his breath slow and steady, tickling her skin.
A soft kiss pressed to her shoulder made her shiver. “Morning, gorgeous,” Felix murmured, his voice still thick with sleep.
She turned in his embrace, meeting his sleepy gaze. His freckles stood out more in the morning light, and his messy hair only made him look even softer.
“Morning,” she whispered, smiling when he nuzzled into her neck again, pressing lazy kisses up to her jaw.
Felix sighed in pure contentment. “I don’t think I wanna let you leave.”
Y/N giggled, running her fingers through his hair. “You kinda have to at some point. I do have a life outside your bed, you know.”
He hummed against her skin before propping himself up on one elbow, his other hand trailing up and down her back. His touch was slow, almost reverent.
“I gotta take you out on a real date now,” he said suddenly, looking at her like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
She raised an eyebrow. “Now you wanna take me on a date? After all that?”
Felix smirked, pressing another kiss to her lips, slow and deep. “I like to do things backwards, apparently. But yeah, I do.” He brushed a strand of hair from her face. “What do you say? Let me take you somewhere nice.”
Y/N pretended to think for a moment, though the giddy feeling in her chest betrayed her. “Hmm… only if there’s food involved.”
Felix laughed, giving her hip a playful squeeze. “Done deal, baby.”
They lay there a little longer, tangled in each other, trading kisses and whispers, until Y/N finally had to slip out of bed and gather her things. Felix watched her with a soft smile, only letting her go when she promised she’d see him again soon.
────୨ৎ────
By the time she stepped into her shared apartment with Seungmin, she was still floating on cloud nine. That was, until—
“YOU REALLY HAD SEX WITH HIM, YOU NAUGHTY GIRL!”
Y/N shrieked as Seungmin’s voice practically shattered the walls. He was standing in the hallway, mouth agape, pointing at her wrinkled dress and thoroughly ruined hair.
“Shut up!” she hissed, slapping a hand over his mouth, but he just muffled something against her palm before pulling away, eyes still wide in terror.

Just to Learn That You Never Cared
Pairing: Peter Parker x reader
Synopsis: always leaving class together to go fight crime leads people to think you’re dating when in reality you’re barely even friends. That is, until you agree to fake a relationship to keep your secret life a secret
requested/idea by @usoppsstar
Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Oh, hey. Your girlfriend left this in class.” One of Peter’s classmates said as he tossed Peter a hoodie.
“Oh. Thanks.” Peter said before realizing what the person had said. He turned the hoodie over in his hands and recognized it as yours. His face warmed up in a blush when he realized you had just been mistaken for his girlfriend. He shoved the hoodie into his bag and wondered if he should tell you or not.
Peter saw you later that night on a rooftop you frequented often. You were in your suit, as was he, but had your mask sitting beside you. You were munching on a bag of chips and wordlessly extended them to him when he landed on the rooftop beside you. He smiled graciously and took a few before sitting down next to you. Your knees were touching but neither of you moved away.
“You left this in physics, dingus.” Peter said and handed you your hoodie.
“Oh, thanks. We had to run out of there so fast to save that lady. I must’ve left it behind.” You smiled gratefully and pulled it over your head. Peter felt bad that his high tech suit had built in heaters and your homemade suit was probably leaving you freezing every night. He wanted to suggest sharing his warmth, but he didn’t want to overstep.
“I know. Thank God she called the police on those kids for selling lemonade without a permit. I’m really glad we left a test to go witness that heinous crime.”
“It’s not all bad. We did get to see the cops arrest her for wasting their time by making a fake police report, which is always satisfying. And the kids gave us free lemonade. But I think calling it “homemade” was bullshit. I know Minute Maid when I taste it.” You replied, making Peter chuckle.
“You’re right. Both those things were enjoyable.” Peter agreed. “But I don’t know how much more of this I can take. I feel like we have to leave class every other day.”
“I know. Why did we have to pick a college in such a Karen ridden neighborhood?” You sighed.
“Because we wanted to go to the good school with the good science program. We should’ve known the neighborhood would be full of bored housewives who call the police whenever they have a minor complaint. It was our own hubris.”
“It was.” You chuckled and said looked over at him. You exchanged soft smiles before you looked over at the city horizon. Peters eyes never left you and he cleared his throat to get your attention.
“So, uh, my aunt and I were gonna get Chinese food later. At the place that got shut down for being a front for money laundering but that was really just a front for a second Chinese food chain.”
“Oh, I love that place.”
“Yeah. It’s great.” He nodded. “Anyways, you should totally come-“
Peter was cut off by the police radio he wired to his phone going off. He rolled his eyes and checked what the alert was.
“Damn it. Robbery at the bakery on 9th.” He told you.
“Lowkey, I’d do the same. Their cream puffs made me cream.” You said as you put your mask back on.
“Haha, yeah.” Peter chuckled. “Wait, what?”
“You should get some sleep. I’ll handle the robbery. But I’ll catch you tomorrow, Parker. Get home safe.” You saluted him before falling backwards off the building.
“I love you too.” Peter sighed.
“Did you say something?” You asked and popped back up.
“No.” Peter quickly lied.
“Okay. Well, see you tomorrow.” You waved to him and disappeared again. Peter let out another sigh before swinging home.
The next day, you ran after one of your classmates once class was let out.
“Hey, Carly. I emailed you my notes from the class you missed.” You told her.
“Thank you so much. You’re a life saver.” She replied. “Oh, and could you tell your boyfriend that band practice is in the gym today?”
“Yeah, sure. No problem.” You agreed. She was about to walk away when you realized what she had said.
“Wait, what am I saying?” You wondered. “Who’s my boyfriend?”
“You know. That guy with the prescription shoes.” Carly answered. You tilted your head in confusion until you realized you knew exactly who she was talking about.
“Wait, Peter?” You laughed in surprise. You expected her to laugh too and reveal she was just kidding but she looked completely serious.
“Oh, right. Peter. Why do I always think his name is Timmy?” Carly wondered.
“Because he looks like a Timmy. He gets it all the time.” You waved your hand. “And his shoes are not prescription. He just bought women’s platform shoes because he wanted to be taller and didn’t think anyone could tell.”
“We can.” Carly mumbled.
“I know.” You agreed. “But, I’m getting off topic. Timmy is not my boyfriend. I mean, Peter is not my boyfriend.”
“Whatever label you guys use, can you tell him that wind ensemble is meeting in the gym instead of the choir room? The sopranos kicked us out again to practice or do drugs or something.” Carly explained. You furrowed your eyebrows at her and tried to figure out if she was joking or not.
“The label? I’m so lost. Who told you that Peter’s my boyfriend?”
“Nobody told me.” She shrugged. “Everyone just knows that you guys are a couple.”
“Well how would they know something that isn’t true?” You asked and folded your arms.
“I mean, it’s not like you guys try to keep it a secret. Between all the whispering and staying close by each other. Plus you’re always sneaking out of class together or showing up late. And if one of you is absent, the other always is too. It’s been like that since high school. People just put two and two together I guess. Why, did you want to to be secret?”
“I didn’t want it to be anything. We’re not even dating.” You insisted and felt like you were going crazy.
“You don’t have to deny it.” Carly laughed. “I know feelings are weird and gross and stuff and you’ve never been the relationship type, but I think this guy is good for you. He brings something out in you. I don’t know. But you guys are cute. I love seeing the nice loser and assertive pretty girl troupe in real life.”
“Oh. Well, thank you.” You calmed down momentarily and smiled a little. Carly walked away and your smile quickly faded when you remembered what she had said. You looked around the hallway and saw another student holding an instrument.
“Hey. Band nerd.” You called out to him.
“Me?” He asked and pointed to himself.
“Yes, you. You had to let go of your saxophone case to point to yourself. Have you seen my boyfriend today?” You asked him.
“Peter? I haven’t seen him since yesterday in-“
“That sentence better not end with “wind ensemble” or I’m gonna lose it.”
“It was wind ensemble.” He said quickly.
“I’m leaving.” You shook your head and walked away from him. You pulled out your phone and went straight to your schools “campus sweethearts” page on instagram. Sure enough, there was a picture of you and Peter sitting next to each other right at the top of the page. You had your head thrown back laughing at something he was saying and he was looking at you fondly. You let out a shocked gasp and before walking out into the courtyard to look for Peter. You spotted him on a bench and smiled.
“Yes. Thank you, small campus”. You pumped your fist and went to sit next to him.
“Oh, hi. I was just thinking about you-“
“Someone is spreading a horrible rumor about you.” You cut him off.
“Oh no.” Peter frowned. “What is it? Is it bad?”
“Horrible.” You shook your head. “Peter, they’re saying you’re in wind ensemble.”
“Oh, I am.” Peter shrugged.
“Huh?”
“I play the clarinet . See. Clarinet.” Peter said and lifted up his little black clarinet case.
“Huh?” You said louder.
“I used to play in high school, pre-bite but post 9/11. I saw a flyer for orchestra on campus so I joined.”
“And you didn’t tell me?” You practically shouted. Peter knew you weren’t happy but felt strangely honored that you were so upset over him not telling you something about her personal life.
“Because I know how you feel about band nerds.” He replied. “And you and I don’t really talk about non-work related things. I didn’t think you’d care.”
“Are you kidding me? Of course I care.” You insisted. “My rumored boyfriend has been in wind ensemble this whole time and I didn’t even know?”
“Wait, rumored boyfriend? Who, me?” Peter asked in surprised.
“So you didn’t know about this either?”
“No. I mean, someone did refer to you as my girlfriend the other day but I thought it was just an accident. People think you and me are dating?” Peter asked and tried not to look as pleased as he felt.
“Apparently. I’ve had multiple people refer to you as my boyfriend today. And look. We’re on the campus couples Instagram page.” You said and held up your phone.
“Ew. We have one of those?” Peter grimaced and took your phone to see the picture better.
“Yeah. I honestly think the principle runs it.” You replied. Peter was quiet as he stared at the picture for a while.
“What?” You wondered.
“Nothing. This just a cute picture of us. And I think the only picture of us.” He said with a shy smile. You frowned and looked at the picture again before realizing he was right.
“Carly said people think we’re dating since we’re always sneaking off together.” You told him. Peter thought out this for a minute and then made another connection.
“Ohhhh.” He said and nodded his head.
“What?”
“This explains why the boys congratulated me on the bus back to New York after the Washington monument trip for losing my virginity at a historic landmark.”
“You lost your virginity on that trip? To who?” You whispered harshly and felt jealousy burning through your veins.
“You, apparently.” He laughed. “You and I disappeared to get the glowy alien egg bomb thing back and I guess everyone assumed we were off desecrating a national monument.”
“Oh my God. That was like 3 years ago.” You realized. “People have thought we were dating this whole time? We need to put a stop to this.”
“Yeah. You’re right. Or…” Peter trailed off and gave you a look.
“Or?” You raised an eyebrow.
“Or, we lean into it.” He suggested. “We let people think it. We encourage it, even.”
“Why would we do that?”
“People have been suspicious about where we go and what we’re doing since high school. We can only fake so many illnesses and I ran out of grandparents to lie about the death of by junior year. So if people already made up a reason, maybe we should let them think that. We don’t have to go out of our way to confirm it but we can keep the assumption going to keep them from finding out what we’re really doing.”
“So you think we should let people think we’re dating so they stop wondering about what we’re always off doing?”
“That’s exactly what I just said, yes.” Peter nodded.
“Hey. Be nicer to your fake girlfriend.” You said and smacked his arm.
“I’m sorry. I will.” Peter blushed and rubbed his arm. You felt bad for hitting him and wrapped both arms around him to rub them up and down. He smiled softly at you and you sat in comfortable silence for a moment.
“You play the clarinet?” You asked after a minute.
“Squidward made it look so cool.” Peter shrugged.
“Did he?” You asked, making Peter laugh.
“No.” He admitted.
The next day, you and Peter walked to school together with the understanding that from then on out, you were going to play the part of a happy couple. You weren’t going to go around announcing it to everyone or anything. You just needed to convince the few that didn’t already believe the rumor and confirm things for the ones who did believe it.
“You ready for this?” You asked Peter as you stepped into campus.
“I think so. Maybe we should hold hands or something. You know, since people think we’re dating.” Peter suggested and tried to make it sound like it didn’t matter to him.
“I guess so.” You shrugged and held out your hand. Peter eagerly took your hand and took note of the way it fit in his like it was made for him.
“This is weird.” You whispered to him, popping his bubble.
“Why? Are my hands sweaty?” He panicked.
“No. Just really, really hot.” You told him. “It’s just weird that nobody seems to care that we’re holding hands right now.”
“I mean, we are just two random people with almost no social presence.”
“That’s true. I guess I just thought people would care more.” You admitted as you looked around the campus. No one was phased by you and Peter, but he was too busy enjoying the moment to realize it.
“Are you disappointed?” He asked you.
“Yeah. I wore my best bra because I thought I’d be getting more attention today.” You frowned and adjusted the strap of your bra.
“It’s okay. I’ll take one for the team and stare at your boobs.” Peter assured you.
“Aw. Thank you.” You gushed and gave his hand a squeeze.
You got to your physics class and sat together at your usual lab table. Peter looked around the classroom while you carried on as usual.
“Maybe I should put my arm around you. You know, to really convince people.” Peter suggested with a shy blush on his face.
“Is that really something people do?” You genuinely wondered. “I feel like I never see couples with their arms around each other.”
“Actually, I don’t think I have either. But let’s try it anyway.” He said and wrapped an arm around you. You scooted closer to him so that you could comfortably lean into him. You quickly realized you didn’t hate it and let out a content sigh.
“Hm.” Peter made a little noise at the back of his throat.
“What?” You asked him.
“Our height difference makes this hurt my shoulder.” He leaned over to whisper in your ear.
“Then move your arm.” You whispered back.
“I can’t. I just wrapped it around you. It’ll look weird if I immediately take it off.” Peter said as he covered behind him to see who was looking.
“Or, consider this. Nobody in this entire city, and dare I say world, cares where your arm is right now.” You whispered harshly.
“Fine. I’ll remove it. But I have to give a reason.” He told you before loudly clearing his throat.
“Ah. Sorry, babe. I can’t cuddle you right now. My arm is sore from band practice.” Peter said loud enough for everyone in the classroom to hear him. You hung your head in shame and heard people murmuring about his strange comment.
“Oh God.” Peter gulped. “People are looking. They’re gonna know something is up. I have to put it back.”
He went to put his arm back around you but you stopped him before he could draw any more attention to the two of you.
“Just do this.” You whispered to him and pulled his stool closer to you and turned towards him a little. Your knees and were touching and you were now facing each other.
“That’s it? No one can even see this.” Peter said in disappointment. He thought being your fake boyfriend would bring you guys closer but you were sitting the way you always sat in class.
“It’s not about what people can see. It’s about proximity.” You explained. “We’re sitting closer together than anyone else is without being egregious about it. It’s a simple touch. If we’ve been together as long as people think we have, we don’t need to be wrapped around each other all the time. A simple touch to let the other know we’re there is all we need.”
Peter was silent as he stared at you following your explanation. He stared for so long that you felt yourself blush under the eye contact.
“What?” You asked him.
“I like the way you explain things.” Peter said simply. You quickly looked down so he wouldn’t see the effect that comment had on you and took a moment to collect yourself.
“It’s just something I thought of.” You shrugged.
“I know. But I never would have thought of that. Especially not as naturally as it did for you. You’re so quick.”
“Thank you.” You laughed shyly and found yourself unable to look away from him. Peter opened his mouth to say something to keep the momentum rolling but his phone interrupted him.
“Shoot. Sus-tivity on the b bridge.” He whispered.
“What the hell does that mean?” You asked at full volume.
“It means there’s suspicious activity on the Brooklyn bridge.” He rolled his eyes. “We have to act fast so I didn’t have time to say the whole thing.”
“But you just said the whole thing. And the abridged version. So it took twice as long.”
“Shh.” He waved his hand. “We gotta go.”
You reluctantly collected your things and took Peter’s hand to pull him out of his seat. Peter followed you out the classroom but the teacher cleared her throat when you walked by.
“And where are you two going?” She asked. You and Peter exchanged looks as the class snickered and murmured their theories about what exactly you were heading off to do.
“I’m sorry, Dr. Pepper. My girlfriend and I have to leave class unexpectedly. Please excuse us. It’s urgent.” Peter’s said politely.
“I bet it’s urgent, Parker.” A boy snickered, making serval classmates laugh.
“Gross.” You wrinkled your noses and looked at the boys in disdain.
“Fine.” The teacher sighed. “The only reason I don’t write you two up for skipping so often is because you somehow have the best grades in the class. Go on. Just get the homework done.”
“We will.” You assured her before leaving the room with Peter. Peter noticed that you didn’t drop his hand even when you were alone in the hallway.
“Hey, you know that teachers name is Dr. Zhang and not Dr. Pepper, right?” You asked him.
“Oh my God.” Peter gasped. “Is it really? I’ve emailed her so many times and said “Dear Dr. Pepper”. We have to drop out.”
You laughed and held his hand the rest of the way out of the building.
That night, Peter laid in his bed with his phone held close to his face. He had been trying to figure out what to text you to let you know he had been thinking of you.
“I had fun fighting crime with you today” He wrote out. He read it over before scrunching his nose.
“No. Too cringe. She is not gonna fall in love with someone that says “fighting crime”. I’m not Paw Patrol.” He said like it was obvious. He deleted his text and thought of another one.
“I had a good time today, we make a good team” He wrote out instead. He read it a few times until he found issue with it.
“Oh, you had a good time stopping those break dancers that were obstructing that Sbarro? That’ll catch her attention.” Peter said sarcastically and deleted the text.
“have a goodnight :)” He typed out and then shook his head.
“No. Wayyyy too horny.” He sighed and deleted it again.
“night” He wrote out and read it a few times.
“This is good. I can work with this.” He nodded. He was about to workshop it when a text from you popped up.
“pick a color” It said. Peters heart skipped a beat at the vague message and replied with the first color that popped into his head.
“blue”
“thank u” You wrote back within seconds. Peters heart stopped pounded and the disappointment that the conversation was over settled in. After all these years of fighting crime together, you two never really managed to make it past the coworkers stage. He was desperate for more but never knew how to get there.
“no homo but I had fun fighting crime with you today” You suddenly texted again. A smile tugged at Peter’s lips and he touched his as if it were your face.
“ok paw patrol” He wrote back. Back in your room, you were laughing at his text and trying to think of a witty reply.
“ur mad bc you know I’m the chase 🐶” You texted him.
“if ur the Chase then who am I?”
“plssss ur such a marshall” You wrote back.
“but that’s the third most important dog :(“ Peter replied.
“well yes but he’s cute and wears red so the little paw patrol shoe fits” You answered. A blush painted Peters cheeks over you calling him cute but he didn’t want to read too much into it.
“Im wearing red right now😳” He texted back.
“oh I bet you are” You answered, making him laugh. He kept the conversation going for about an hour before duty called once again. Peter groaned and put his suit on before swinging to the scene of the crime. He met you there and stopped the crime before stopping on a nearby rooftop to rest.
“These burglars aren’t very considerate of our sleep schedules. Who robs a Jersey Mikes after midnight? Or, like, ever?” Peter huffed as he tugged his mask off.
“I know. They’re always at inconvenient times. I was in the middle of painting my nails.”
“Can I see?” He asked in a soft voice. You pulled your gloves off and held out your hand for him to see.
“Look. Blue. But I only got half way through before Mike’s was targeted.”
“It’s okay. They still look pretty.” Peter complimented you with a soft smile.
“Thanks. You picked a good color.” You replied.
“What do you mean?” He frowned.
“I told you to pick a color. This is why.” You explained and held out your hand again. His eyes lit up at this new information and he took your hand to see your nails closer.
“You let me chose your nail color?” He smiled fondly.
“Well I didn’t know what to chose so I thought I’d ask the audience.” You shrugged and felt shy all of the sudden.
“Oh. And I’m the target audience, huh?” Peter smirked and turned towards you.
“I never said target.” You teased him and shoved him shoulder.
“I must be hearing things, then.” He shrugged as you both smiled.
“Yeah. Must be.” You said in a soft voice as you stared into his eyes. Peter gulped before making a bold move and taking your hand again under the guise of looking at your nails.
“Look at you. You even got my favorite shade.” He noted.
“You like “Eating For Blue”?” You pretended to gasp.
“Is that really the name of the color?” He laughed.
“Uh huh. It was apart of Essie’s baby fever collection. I almost chose “All In Blue Time” but that’s one tends to get little air bubbles and they give me agida. And I used to have “A Dream Come Blue” but it rolled under the sink so it belongs to the dust bunnies now.” You shrugged as you checked out your nails.
“Wow. This is all new information to me. So, are all nail polish colors named after puns and wordplay?” He asked as he stared into your eyes. He didn’t really care, but he was finally getting somewhere with you and didn’t want it to end.
“In my experience, yes. Not always color related wordplay but always something that makes you go yeah, I guess this shade of beige is what the word “ladylike” would be as a color.”
“This is blowing my mind right now.” Peter chuckled.
“You mean blue-ing your mind.” You corrected and tapped the side of your head.
“I think you inhaled too many of those fumes. Because that was not funny.” Peter said through a laugh.
“What?” You pretended to be offended. “You’re literally laughing right now. I’m so funny.”
“You are.” Peter admitted when his laughter died down. You stared into eyes for a minute before smiling.
“Is that what you rumored saw in me?” You asked him.
“Probably.” He chuckled. “I also heard a rumor that I think you’re really pretty. Like, the prettiest girl I was ever rumored to have allegedly seen.”
“Now you’re the one who’s looney from the fumes because that’s a straight up lie. I know you’ve seen prettier girls because I was standing right next to you when Anne Hathaway left that diner.” You said without making eye contact with him. Things were moving a little too fast and you needed it hit the brakes for a second.
“Oh, yeah. You’re right.” Peter forced a laugh and awkwardly looked over at the cityscape when he realized you were politely telling him to pull back.
“But I appreciate it.” You said after a beat of silence.
“Of course. Sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking saying that.” He laughed nervously. “I was just getting caught up in the fake dating. We’ve been doing it for so long that it felt real.”
“We only started this morning.” You reminded him.
“Right. Well, it’s late. I’m gonna go home.” He said quickly and stood up. He had just blown that and needed to leave as quickly as possible.
“Okay. Goodnight. See you at school.” You called after him. Peter swung home with tears in his eyes and went straight to bed, missing your text about having fun fighting another crime.
The next day at school, Peter decided to start over and push last night from his mind. He played the part of your boyfriend to the best of his abilities and opened every door, pulled out every seat, and carried ever book for you all day long. Then he did it the next day, and the day after that. He kept his mouth shut about his feelings day in and day out no matter how painful it was getting. You and Peter had finally moved past the coworker stage and become real friends so he didn’t want to sabotage it all by telling you that he spent his days wishing for more.
“What are your plans tonight?” You asked him one day as you walked out of class together.
“My aunt is going out with her friends so I was probably gonna watch a movie on my couch. But on my laptop with my earbuds in. Likely in my boxers. Likely with an entire package of Twizzlers. Why?”
“Well I was gonna suggest that we hang out but you sound booked.”
“Really? You want to hang out?” Peter asked with much more enthusiasm than he intended.
“If you want. I’m not doing anything as exciting as boxers and Twizzlers.”
“I would love to. I’ll put on pants for you. I promise.”
“Sounds good.” You laughed. “Text me your address, okay?”
“Sure. Or you could walk with me now. Unless you’re tired of me and need a break before we hang out.” Peter suggested as you left campus together.
“It’s funny you say that. I was just telling my mom the other day that I never get tired of you.” You said casually.
“You..you don’t?” Peter’s face heated up as he followed you down the sidewalk.
“I don’t. I usually need a break from other people if we’ve been together awhile but it’s different with you. It doesn’t feel like I’m using my social battery if that makes sense.“
“It makes sense.” He smiled shyly as your hands bumped against each others. He was about to make a bold move and take your hand despite no one being around but you suddenly moved it to hit the crosswalk button.
Back at Peter’s apartment, he awkwardly gave you a tour and wished he had picked up his clothes before leaving the house that morning. You didn’t seem to mind the socks and boxers strewn across his room because you were too focused on all the little things he kept on his shelves. You picked up a picture frame of your freshman year high school class that had you and Peter seated right next to each other. Your friendship had only just begun so you often forgot how long you knew him for.
“So this is your room.” You smiled and put the picture back.
“Yup. This is where the magic happens.” Peter said and immediately cringed at himself.
“Oh really?” You raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah. This is where I practice magic. Wanna see?” He asked and picked up a deck of cards. You laughed and went over to take one.
“Is your card the ace of spades?” He asked.
“Queen of hearts.” You snorted and turned the card around.
“You’re the queen of my heart.” He whispered.
“Did you say something?” You asked as you looked at all his Legos.
“I asked what you wanted to do tonight.” He lied.
“I don’t know. We have the place to ourselves. We could do something rated R.” You said with a coy smile.
“Like what?” Peter gulped.
“Watch an R rated movie, you perv. Your aunt isn’t here to stop you.”
“You remember me telling you that I’m not allowed to watch R rated movies in the living room anymore?” Peter blushed at you remembering something he had randomly told you long ago.
“Are you referring to the time you watched Tusk at full volume while she had her friends from work over for the first time? How could I forget?”
“In my defense, I didn’t know what the movie was about. And I didn’t think her friends were gonna come into the living room and see that guy getting turned into a walrus.”
“Yeah, the title and cover art gave no indication that the movie would end that way. But that’s not a bad idea actually. Let’s watch something scary.”
“Okay.” Peter agreed and followed you out into the living room. He turned off the lights and got some snacks while you picked a movie. He hated scary movies but he was not about to tell you that. Instead, he sat on the couch beside you as a respectful distance and handed you a bag of chips. As the movie went on, you got closer and closer to each other. Peter had never really seen you scared before but you were practically in his lap just 40 minutes into the movie. You reached into the bag of chips at the same time as Peter and your fingers touched. You both froze and looked at each other as your faces heated up.
“Shit. I’m not wearing a condom.” Peter sighed, making you yank your hand out and laugh.
“You’re stupid.” You laughed and turned back to the movie just as a jump-scare happened. You screamed and jumped closer to Peter.
“This is so scary. Why did I pick this movie?” You asked as you drew your knees up and leaned into his side.
“Yeah, same.” He replied, not even listening. He couldn’t hear anything over the sound of his heart pounding in his ears. You were cuddled into his side with your head on his shoulder and knees in his lap with a blanket drawn up to your nose. He knew you were only cuddling him because you were scared but it didn’t even matter at that point. The movie went quiet for a minute and then made a loud sound, sending you to burry your face into Peter’s neck.
“Tell me when it’s safe to come out.” You whispered into his ear. Peter gulped and wrapped an arm around you to fully protect you from the movie.
“I will.” He said in a soft voice. You peaked your head out a few minutes later but stayed nestled into Peter’s side. You realized his arm was around you and smiled a little.
“Oh, this isn’t so bad.” You shrugged as the main character got eaten alive.
“I don’t understand you.” Peter chuckled and looked down at you. You laughed as well as you looked into his eyes. He was about to say something when another sharp sound from the movie caused you to jump.
“Hold my hand.” You blurted and grabbed his hand. Peter happily accepted and clasped your hand before holding it under his chin. You stayed in that position for a long time and watched the movie. You were both so focused on the screen that you didn’t hear May opening the front door and coming in.
“Hey. I’m home.” She said, making you both scream.
“Oh, hi May.” Peter greeted while he realized it was just her.
“It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Parker. I’m-“
“I know.” She smirked. “I’ll just be in my room. But, Peter?”
“Yeah?”
“No going in your room with the door closed, okay? I’m home. And we have thin walls. Just keep that in mind.” She said, making Peter turn bright red.
“Got it, May.” He mumbled. She winked at you and disappeared into her bedroom.
“You told your aunt we were dating?” You whispered to Peter in confusion.
“No.” Peter answered honestly. “I guess she just assumed we were.”
“Wow. She’s just like the kids at school.” You shook your head. “I don’t get it. Why does everyone think we’re dating?”
“I mean…” Peter trailed off and looked down at your clasped hands. You hadn’t realized you were still cuddling and quickly jumped off of him. Peters heart sank and the longer he sat in the absence of your body heat, the more upset he felt.
“You just jumped off of me like I was sharp.” He said without looking at you.
“I didn’t want your aunt to see us cuddling and think-“
“And think what?” He snapped, cutting you off. You gutted your head back in surprise and let out a nervous laugh.
“Woah. What’s going on with you? She already knows about your secret life. We don’t have any reason to pretend we’re dating in front of her.”
Peter stared at you for a long time as the word “pretend” cut into him like a knife. Every time he thought you were going somewhere, he was reminded that it didn’t actually mean anything to you.
“Yeah. You’re right.” He mumbled and looked at the movie again. You kept your eyes on him and felt guilty. You had so much to say to him but you felt unable to speak.
“Peter-“
“I don’t think we should pretend to date anymore.” He blurted, cutting you off once again. Your eyebrows went up in surprise and you got a sick feeling in your tummy that you had just ruined something really important.
“What? Why not?”
“It’s stupid. No one even cares anymore.” He shrugged. “We don’t have to fake a breakup or anything but I don’t want to hold hands or play along anymore. I’m done.”
“What changed?” You asked in a soft voice. He was still looking at the movie while you were fully turned to face him.
“Nothing changed. That’s the problem.” He said and angrily got off the couch. You quickly caught his hand and he stopped. He looked down at the ground and let out a sigh. He knew it wasn’t fair to be mad at you if he hadn’t told you what was wrong. He slowly turned around and looked at you.
“Five years ago, you showed up to the same robbery at an all night CVS that I was at and I realized we knew each other from AP Spanish class because I had asked you earlier that day how to conjugate “poner” and you said “pusiste” and I laughed because I thought you were joking but you weren’t and then that night you heard me tell the burglar that he better“pusiste” the money back into the register.“ Peter began.
“Okay. Wow. That was a really long sentence.” You laughed softly. “But I remember that. I laughed and told you that you better remember that for the test.”
“You did. That’s how I knew it was you.” He smiled at the memory. “I failed that test, by the way. I still can’t conjugate “poner.” And I still think it means “boner” even though I know it’s a verb. But anyway, that night, I couldn’t sleep because I was so excited to have met you. Even though we technically already knew each other, that night put us in each others radars. I could not believe that I had met my match. You’re into science like me and sarcastic like me and you understand this side of my life because you have the same side. But despite running into each other on patrol almost nightly and seeing each other around school, I barely got you to notice me. I don’t think you even knew my name until we ended up going the same college. You called me “Timmy” all throughout high school.”
“You seriously look like one. It’s uncanny. I don’t know what it is.”
“I thought things would change when I found out we were going to the same college. The campus is so small I figured there’s no way we wouldn’t become friends. But even then, we hardly ever talked and when we did it was always about work. I didn’t even know where you lived until last semester.”
“I remember that too. The first night we really bonded was when you fell off that roof because you were trying to show me how to do a backflip.”
“Yeah, I’ve never been able to do a backflip.” He admitted. “I only said I could because you said you always wanted to learn how to do one and I assumed given my abilities I’d be able to do one if I just followed my body. But I busted my ass and you were kind enough to sneak me through your window and patch me up with some Scooby Doo bandaids.”
“It was all I had.” You shrugged.
“And you gave it to me anyway. Because you’re kind and compassionate and I’m just…I’m crazy about you.” Peter finally admitted. “I was so excited when we started hanging out more this semester but it always ended up crushing me when I remembered that we just doing it to keep people from finding out the truth. I really, really love our friendship and if I’m ruining it all by saying all this then at least I can die with it off my chest.”
“Wait, now I’m confused. Are you dying?”
“Maybe.” He shrugged. “It feels like I am every time you and I start to get close and then I remember this is all pretend for you.”
“So it’s not pretend for you?” You asked quietly. Peter stared into your heads for a minute and then shook his head.
“No. I was never pretending. I like you.” He told you. Your facial expression didn’t change as you stared back at him. Peter was really starting to panic until a smile tugged at your lips.
“Sit back down.” You told him.
“I’m sat.” He said and rushed it sit down. You nestled back into his side and laid your head down on his shoulder. Peter smiled and rested his head on top of yours, finally pleased with the way a conversation with you went. You both turned your attention back to the movie just in time for it to end.
“Hm.” You huffed. “That was supposed to be us symbolically finishing the movie as a real couple but it appears we’ve already arrived at the credits. Now what?”
“We could watch Tusk.” Peter suggested at the same time you said “We could make out.”
“I never actually saw Tusk but I always wanted to.” You gasped and hit his arm with excitement.
“Or we could do your thing.” Peter forced a laugh and tried not to sound as desperate as he felt.
“Let me see if I can find it.” You said as you scrolled through the streaming services on his TV.
“Or we could do your thing.”

Quinn was sure of everything he did. From the way he carried himself, to how he preformed during shows. He was as confident as they came.
This though? This was the only thing he was unsure of. Quinn made no mistakes. None. Almost everyone he met saw him as this perfect man, the man people envisioned themselves with someday. Now, this had Quinn questioning everything he had once known.
౨ৎ
Y/N jumped as Quinn slammed his larger hands down against their kitchen table, “I don’t need you on my ass all the damn time!”
All she could do was stare at him, shocked, and scared. Quinn was the quiet type, even when he held his head high. Yes, he was confident. That was a fact, but he had never been the type to raise his voice, especially not at his Ol’ Lady.
Before Quinn can ever register what he had just done, Y/N was already muttering apologies as tears began to fall from her flushed cheeks.
His eyes snapped towards her, the anger that once filled him vanishing quickly. He took a step towards her, only for her to take a step back. In that moment, Quinn had realized just what he had done.
౨ৎ
When Quinn had gotten home from work later that night, Y/N was nowhere to be found. No matter what he did, he couldn’t stop replaying their fight in his head. It was like a record stuck on repeat, and he had no idea how to stop it.
He shouldn’t have left her. He knew that, but he wanted to give her space. He had never raised his voice at her before, and he knew she’d need time.
Quinn was raised to be respectful to everyone, especially to those you love. God he was such an idiot. Y/N was the woman he loved most, and he was pushing her away like a dumbass.
౨ৎ
Quinn couldn’t think straight for the days following their fight. Y/N had been gone for three days now, and he genuinely started to think he was going insane.
Though, eventually, she turned up. He wasn’t sure where she had been, and hell he didn’t care. He just wanted her safe, he needed her to be safe.
His eyes followed her from his place on the small brown sofa as she opened the front door. She seemed to be looking around, checking to see if he was home, making his heart ache. He watched as she let out a shaky breath when their eyes met, his heart breaking from the sight alone.
౨ৎ
Y/N ended it that night, though he couldn’t blame her. She had put her faith in him, and he ruined it. To some, yelling isn’t a huge deal, but to her? It was the biggest deal. Growing up with a family like hers was not easy, but allowing yourself to love again? even harder. Yet she loved him. Loved. He wasn’t sure if she could look at him the same, let alone love him.
His performance began slipping, rapidly. He wasn’t riding as good as he should. He just overall was not focused on anything - though how could he be? He lost her. He lost the person he loved most in life.
No one had ever seen Quinn so distracted before, he had been doing shows since he was 14, and had never been so distant from reality. His mind was somewhere else, that was clear to anyone.
His mother, Ellen, had been the first to notice it. His smile no longer reached his eyes, his smile no longer seemed to be genuine. Everything that once came so natural had become a chore to him. The sport he loved seemed to become a chore right before his eyes.
That’s when she learned just why he was acting the way he was. Quinn was fully convinced he was going to marry Y/N. Except now, one simple mistake ruined every chance at his perfect future, his perfect wife.
Now she had just been a distant memory. A constant reminder of just how easy it was to lose everything.

Hi! I saw that you're taking requests, so is it okay if I ask for a spoiled city girl! Reader x country boy! Leon?
Reader's father sent reader to spend the rest of the year at her grandparents because he's had enough tolerating her. Eversince she arrived, yeah, the whole town hated her alright. Her grandparents made her do errands and shit and she'd complain and do it lazily.
Leon on the other hand- who's been hearing rumors about this girl, didn't think that she was that bad until he encountered her himself. And hell, she was way worse that bad.
Possible virgin, kinda innocent (only when it comes to ykyk) reader and brat tamer Leon?
Ignore if you're not comfortable with the idea.

of course there was no cell service in this shithole. you groaned, falling back onto the white sheets of the squeaky bed of the guest bedroom in your grandparents house.
you had taken a gap year off of college, wanting a break and hoping to ‘find yourself’, but you just got unmotivated. your father asked you for months to find a job in the city, but you’d talk your way out of it everytime. of course, enough was enough and when the time came, he had talked to his own parents and decided to send you over to a small little farm town where they retired to, hoping to shape you up a bit. they owned a quaint farm with chickens, sheep, pigs, all a cute little older couple could ask for.
but it was your own personal hell. having to feed, clean, and even pick up after the smelly animals. at least some of them were cute. no technology to ease your mind. it didn’t help your grandparents made you drive their shitty little red truck into town once a week to get supplies, since you were so ‘nimble’ compared to them. to say the least, the whole town was not fond of a bratty city girl storming irritatingly around. refusing to do work, and even when you did, you just half assed it to get it over with.
the local townies and shop workers alike always stared when you’d walk through town with your cute little purse and skirt that rode up your thighs. it was a hot town, what else were you supposed to wear? older women having to slap their husbands when they oogled for too long at the young woman walking into the supply store. that was until you’d start an argument with another customer. they’d either be judging you or too scared to say a word. sometimes both.
in one instance, there was only one stack of bird feed left, and you’d be damned if you weren’t gonna be the one taking it back to the farm. that was until a prudish older lady grabbed it at the same time as you. your eyes met, challenging each-other. she put on a fake smile. “oh sorry sweetie! need this food for my little chickies at home.” her high pitched voice irritated your head. “oh that’s unfortunate, i need it for the same reason. so if you could take your wrinkley little fingers off of it that would be great.” you yanked it from her hands before she gasped.
“what a disrespectful young lady…” she mumbled, turning around to the door of the door, looking down at her hands as she left. you mumbled a quick curse at her before walking up to the register to pay. the store clerk looked a little nervous, so he rang you up in silence in fear of you lashing out at him.
this was just one of the many incidents since you got sent here.
at least you’d found new hobbies. you started going to the small library whenever you were sent into town. there wasn’t many choices, but that along with a few of your grandma’s books from her collection, you were somewhat less bored. that and you took up sketching. sure this place was boring as fuck, but you couldn’t deny that the scenery was pretty beautiful.
it’s been almost a month since you’ve been here. you silently lounged in the room you’d been staying in, reading some god awful romance novel. you heard your grandma call your name from downstairs. you sigh before getting up. “what?” you yell back, annoyed you got interrupted reading your newly picked up book. she didn’t respond, another tindge of annoyance reaching your skull.
as you walk down the creaky wooden steps, noticing the front door open to find the older woman on the front porch. you heard a deep voice chuckling from outside. walking out, you were greeted with a handsome young man. he only looked two or three years older than you, but he was tall and had a good frame. seems like doing work on a farm for years really builds up muscle. the wrinkled woman calls your name, snapping you out of your trance.
“um, what can i help you with?” you reply, crossing your arms over your chest. the man gives you a smile before holding out his hand for you to shake, lowering his dark grey hat to reveal some of his dirty blonde hair underneath. “i’ve heard a lot about you miss, names leon.” his large hand extends towards you. you just eye it and roll your eyes. “hi? can i go now, nana?” you plead to the woman. she just sighs and puts a hand on your shoulder. “pop and i gotta go into town for a couple days for this chicken auction he’s been wantin’ to go to. our friendly neighbor here offered to help show you around the farm a bit. teach you a few things” she eyes you sternly.
“teach me things? i’m not twelve. i can handle myself” you retort, glaring at the tall man. he just chuckles. he had heard from around town you were feisty, but it was even better to see in person. he rests his hands firmly on his hips.
“promise i won’t get in your way, darlin’. we’re doin’ some renovations on my own house a few miles down the road. your kind grandmother here offered to let me stay in the guest house while they’re gone.” he smiles assuringly. you were annoyed. you had already spent the last thirty seconds planning on sunbathing or sitting in your room, free of any work on the farm.
“i just don’t think this is very necessary. surely you can afford a hotel?” you retort back. your grandma gives you a light smack on the back of your head. “sorry ‘bout her. not from here” she smiles kindly at the young man. you just pout. “yeah, thank god” you mumble, causing you to get another light smack.
“oh it’s no trouble at all. got myself a little cousin back home that’s a bit of a brat too.” he comments, his eyes never leaving yours. your face flushes. “excuse me? a brat? fuck off dude-“ you start. “language!” she scolds you. you mumble a small apology to her while still glaring daggers at leon.
leon just stands there, entertained by your little outbursts. he could tell you really did not enjoy being here, but he was ready to fix that. his gaze shifts down to your attire, you clearly didn't pack for working on a farm. always in cute little outfits that you'd always wear back in the city.
your grandma changed the subject, asking leon a few questions about his family and his own farm. you were lost in your own thoughts. at least you'd be stuck with a hot farmer instead of some old creep. maybe you could just fake flirt with him to get him to do all your chores for you. that should work, right?
after a few treacherous minutes of standing on the badly painted white porch, you said your goodbyes. leon gives your grandmother another respectful handshake and he just tips his hat at you while you just stare, giving a tiny wave before storming back inside.
about two days later you said your goodbyes to your grandparents, they gave you some hugs and kept repeating the list of chores they'd tasked you with. feed the chickens, take out the eggs, you really just blocked out their words from entering your head. you just smiled and nodded, waving at them as they drove off the property.
you gave a sigh of relief, leon wouldn't be here for another few hours so you thought you'd have some 'me' time. taking a long hot bath (your grandparents always got mad when you used up too much hot water), reading your romance novel while relaxing in the warm water. your cheeks flushed at a certain scene in the book. you didn't expect the library to carry a literal smut book. the main male character in the novel was going down on the pretty girl, the writing made your stomach churn in arousal. you'd never read anything so... descriptive before.
right before you could turn to the next page when things were getting more hot and heavy, there was a heavy knock on the door. you jerk up from your laying down position in the bath and sigh, leon was early. you lay your book upside down so you wouldn't loose your place, wrapping a small towel around your figure before fully stepping out, draining the bath. another knock and a familiar voice calling your name. "you home?" he calls. "yeah, hold on!" you scurry around, cursing yourself for not laying out clothes beforehand.
you carefully step downstairs and opening the front door, peeking out. leon had a duffel bag with him with his things in it. "um, yeah?" you say, trying to hide your toweled figure behind the door. he smiles. "just need the key to the guest house, darlin." oh right. you nod, grabbing the key hanging near the door and hand it to him, your fingers brushing slightly, making your cheeks heat up. before he could open his mouth to speak, you shut the door on him unremorsefully. "thanks." he chuckles out, turning to make the walk to the guest house about a hundred feet away from the main house. and of course you were the one who had to clean it up before he got here.
after putting on your favorite outfit and boots, you make your way back downstairs for some water. sipping from the clear glass cup, you notice leon outside the window. he was already getting familiar with the animals. he looked good in his light blue button up shirt, it really brought out his eyes. the way he had rolled up his sleeves so his veiny arms were on display. he was squatted down next to the new baby sheep and was petting her. you pouted, she didn’t even let you pet her. you sigh, placing your glass down before making your way outside.
leon’s head perks up as he notices you walking twords him. he gives you a charming smile, standing up from the baby sheep. you speak first. “she lets you pet her? everytime i come near she yells at me.” you cross your arms at the man. he looks back down at the small animal who gave you an angry look, running off somewhere. “you gotta' know how to approach em’. plus they sense your vibes” he adds, his eyes back on you.
“my vibes, huh? what’s that supposed to mean, mister?” your eyes squint at him, a hint of irritation in your eye. he doesn’t feed into your attitude. “leon” he corrects you.
“leon” you repeat. the way his name sounded rolling off your tounge made his lips quirk up in a small smile.
“now-“ he starts, grabbing a nearby bag and handing it to you. “- better start on those chores, hmm?”. you glare at him, scoffing. “you’re joking.” you retort. he just shakes his head.
“i’m here for a reason, darlin’. best get to work so you can get it over with faster.” he shoves the bag in your arms and you give him your best puppy dog eyes. “c’mon leon. you’re so big and strong, i’m sure you’d get it done a lot faster than me.” you bat your eyelashes at him. he seemed gullible enough to seduce. he just chuckles. “nice try, you’re cute” he says, walking off to leave you to your chores. you groan. “fine…” you mumble, walking off to to collect the chicken eggs.
over an hour later, you lie in the green patch of grass, playing with your nails. pouting that cleaning the coop made you chip one. you’d finished majority of your chores, hoping it was enough to get leon off your back. whenever you’d start to walk away from a task, he’d appear to show you what you did wrong and how to improve. you wanted to punch his pretty face.
you were snapped out of your thoughts as you heard a deep voice approach you. “takin’ a break?” he says, standing over you. you sigh, not even bothering to look up at him. “i finished for today. i’ll do the rest tomorrow or something.” you continue playing with your nails, still annoyed.
he crosses his arms over his strong chest. “you’re quite the lazy girl, y'know that?” you just scoff. “whatever, asshole” you spit back.
“you got a bit of a mouth on you, don’t ya’?” he squats down so he’s level with you. you finally turn to him, glaring. you angrily stand up, dusting yourself off before gasping. “fuck!” you yell, looking down. your favorite skirt had stains of grass and dirt on them. you didn’t realize the grass was wet before you sat down on it. “are you serious?! this is so gross!” you try wiping the stains off, but only making it worse by spreading them around. you notice leon laughing at you. you turn to glare daggers at the now standing man.
“what the hell is so funny?” your face has annoyance all over it.
“c’mon, let me help you get those stains out, sweetheart. wouldn’t want such a pretty skirt to be ruined” he starts to walk twords the guest house.
“i’m not your-“
“you want that skirt clean or not?” he sighs. you silently nod, following behind him. he opens the door to the clean little house, holding it open for you and shutting it once you were both inside. it was surely nicer than the place you were staying in. a big bed against the wall and a little kitchen table. you remembered staying in here with your father when you visited as a kid. you loved it here back then.
he sets his hat on the counter, finally giving you a full view of his parted hair. he was even more handsome without the hat. he caught you staring and you quickly look away.
“gotta' take the skirt off so i can run it in the wash for you before the stains seep in.” he says, leaning against the counter with his large arms crossed over his broad chest. your eyebrow quirks. “um, i’m not doing that”. he gives you a questioning look. “i’m not wearing anything under…” you add. you only wore your panties under, not wanting to ruin the outfit with ugly shorts. he sighs. a thought flickers in his mind of you taking your skirt off, your pretty ass on display for him.
“fine. you can borrow some of my sweats.” he walks over to his bag of clothes, rummaging through until he pulls out a pair of plaid blue pajama pants. you scoff. “these are ugly as fuck, this is gonna ruin my outfit.” you hold up the pants. they were way too big for you. but they smelled like him. woodsy and a hint of pine. he steps a little closer to you. “if you’d rather let that pretty little skirt get ruined, then be my guest.” he says. you have to crane your neck to look up at him. you sigh, taking your shoes off. “you could just change in the bathroom, you know.” he comments.
“well you could also just look away, pervert.” you say, carefully setting your boots on the floor. he puts his hands up in defense, turning and walks somewhere across the room. “y’know, some day that mouth of yours is gonna get you in trouble.” his voice is lower now, more serious than before. you roll your eyes, shimmying yourself out of your little skirt. “fuck off. you’re not my father.” you bite back, pulling the loose pants over your hips. “these are too big…” you say, holding the pants up or else they’d fall to the ground. he turns and walks up to you, inches away. he grabs the drawstrings, tightening them so hard that you let out a barely audible gasp.
your eye’s focus on his hands. the way they tied the strings perfectly, patting your hip once he finished. “better now?” he asks, looking down at you. you didn’t say a word, just nodding. he smiles. “no words for me from the mouthy girl?” he says. you huff.
“you don’t know anything about me, leon.”
“i know enough. i know you’re an entitled little brat who needs to be put in her place.” he whispered, leaning into your ear. his hot breath left chills down your neck. you could feel your nipples harden against your top. his arms trapped you against the counter.
your eyes finally pull to his, almost magnetically. “what’s your story then, pretty? refusing to work so your daddy kicked you out?” he guesses. you stay silent. he was right.
“what happened to that little mouth of yours? got nothin’ to say now?” he teases, leaning twords your face. fuck, he knew how to shut you up.
“you- i-“ you stutter, unable to respond. he just smirks. his hand slipping to your waist. “you talk all this shit, but can’t handle it comin’ back to you, can you?” god it was almost like he was getting off on seeing your flustered face.
“fuck you-“
“watch your fucking mouth, princess” he practically growls. his grip on your waist only tightens, making you almost whine. his demeanor completely changing from his lighthearted charming self. you felt yourself getting wet from his words alone.
“or what?” you spit back.
“you wanna find out?”

that’s how you ended up with your shaky knees, pressed against the hardwood floor, leon’s big veiny cock sitting right in front of your eyes. his hand was in your hair as your hands nervously reach out to stroke him. he could tell you were inexperienced.
“what’s wrong, baby?” he coos, looking down at you as your small hand wraps around the base of his large cock.
“i don’t- i’ve never-“
“never had a cock in your mouth?” he asks. you just shake your head nervously. he pulsed at the thought of being the first man to be inside of you.
“ever even kissed someone?” he tilts his head.
“just once…” you pout. you were getting tired of his teasing. he just gives your hair a light tug, making you whine. he uses his other hand to bring his thumb to your bottom, dragging it down. you respond, opening your mouth to suck on his thumb. he presses it into your tongue, you swirl your wet muscle around his finger. “good job, see? you got it” he encourages. he removes his thumb, a trail of spit between your lips and his finger.
“now just open your pretty lips…” his hand cups your jaw, you open your mouth. he slides the tip into your hot mouth before hissing. “no teeth, darlin’.” he warns. you nod, taking him deeper. only halfway in and you’re choking around him. he groans at the way your throat contracts around him.
“fuck, you’re a natural slut, aren’t ya?” he grips your hair, moving you up and down his cock. you whine around him, the vibrations sending more pleasure straight to his dick. he abuses your throat and mouth, watching you as tears well up in your eyes. “look at you. your mouth is so much better around my cock.” he lets out another groan when you suck your cheeks in, sucking him off completely.
“think you can swallow all my cum? or are you too good for that, princess?” his voice was horse and low. you just nod, a tear falling from how deep you were taking him. he curses as his tip hits the back of your throat, thrusting his hips to meet with your head. your nose burried in the base of his pelvis. you shut your eyes tight as you feel his warm release down your throat. after a few more thrusts, he pulls out a bit of a mix of cum and spit falling from your mouth. he cups your face. “swallow it.” you gulp, licking your lips and swallowing everything he gave you. you open your mouth to show him.
“such a good little slut, yeah?” he soothes your hair, wiping the remaining tears from your eyes. your cunt was throbbing with need. you look up at him through wet lashes, your mascara was probably running down your face by now. he grabs your arm to help you stand up. your legs were wobbly and hard to stand on. your panties were probably soaked at this point.
your eyes go to his lips and his smug gorgeous face. “you want a kiss?” he asks, you nod. he just chuckles. “too bad” he says, making you whine.
“leonn” you grab onto his shirt, pleading. he just shakes his head. “you need to learn how to be patient, gorgeous.” he warns, grabbing your wrists. “you and that fucking attitude. gotta do somethin’ about that.” his eyes grow darker.
he had a strong grip on your wrists, firm but gentle enough not to break you. it made you shiver knowing how easily he could. fuck it was hot. “i’m gonna fuck it right out of you. got that?” his head lowers to suck marks into your neck and collar bones, making you groan. he bit down in a particularly sensitive spot, making you cry out his name. he pulls away dragging you to the bed. “lay down on your stomach” he commands. your eyes grow wide, about to object until his brows furrow. you lie down on your stomach, your feet dangling off the edge.
you turn to look at leon over your shoulder, yelping when he drags you so your legs hung off the edge of the bed. he quickly pulls the string of your his pants before ripping them down your legs. you gasp at the cold air hitting your bare legs, your panty clad ass on display for him. he gives it a good smack, making you give another yelp into the sheets.
“you’re fuckin’ soaked through your panties. i’ve barely even touched you” he gives a small laugh before pulling your white panties off. his large skilled fingers run through your folds, making you squirm.
smack
“stop moving”
he admired the large hand print he left on your ass, feeling his dick harden again. he started with pumping one finger into your tight little hole, making you gasp. it hurt for the first few seconds, but eventually faded into throbbing pleasure. you let out mewls of enjoyment, crying out into the sheets below you as he jackhammered his finger into your sopping cunt, adding another finger to stretch you out.
“ohmygod leon!” you cry, muffled by the blanket. you’d never felt absolute overwhelming pleasure like this before. it was fucking addicting.
his fingers curled inside of you, hitting a spot that made your belly fill with a hot pleasure. you were so close, so fucking close. right when you were about to cum, he pulls his fingers out.
“leon!” you yell, looking back at him.
“told you i was gonna teach you how to be patient, didn’t i?” you wanted to wipe that smug ass smirk off his face.
Tumblr media
you were practically drooling onto the sheets. tears falling down your face as leon edged you for the fifth, sixth time? you’d lost count after the third. “fuck leon! please please please let me cum, m’so close please!” you cry into the bed, resorting to begging. your attitude thrown out the window whenever he curls his fingers inside of you.
“since you asked so nicely…” his thrusts his fingers at a delicious speed, fucking you until you cried out his name. you clenched around his fingers, gripping onto the sheets as your vision blurs. his fingers fuck into you as you cum, coating the sheets and his hand.
“look at you. fuckin' dripping down my wrist.” he groans. he flips you so you’re on your back. you were panting, mascara completely running down your cheeks and a fucked out look on your face. he brings his fingers to your mouth and you immediately open them for him, licking yourself clean off his hand.
“that’s my girl” he praises, making you tingle. you were still coming down from your high, staring at him blissfully. his fingers leave your mouth with a pop. you watch his expression through your lashes.
“you’re so much prettier with your mouth filled.” he smiles, leaning over you. “i think you deserve that kiss now, don’t ya think so?” he asks. you nod. “yes please”
his mouth meets yours in a hot feverish kiss. his hand coming to grip your hair. he bites your lip hard enough to make you gasp. your pussy throbs with need of being filled by him. “leon, please” you beg through the kiss. he pulls away, looking at you.
“what is it, sweetheart?” he kisses down your jaw.
“i-i need you inside, please!” you beg, looking down at your bare cunt.
“aww, you just want my cock so bad, hmm? who am i to deny such a slutty girl what she wants.” he sits up, dragging his long cock up and down your wet folds. when his head caught on your clit, it made you shiver. he teases you, catching his tip on your hole before rubbing up and down again. you whine. he gives you a stern look.
“m’sorry” you pout. he chuckles, slowly dipping his thick head into your tight hole. he eased himself in, making your jaw slack open. once he was fully seated into you, your brows furrowed at the stretch. “hurts, s’too big!” you cry out. he tsks.
“you wanted this, didn’t you?” he pulls out just to push himself back into you with a powerful thrust. “fuck, you’re sucking me in, baby. must be so worked up. is this why you’re such a bitch all the time? never gotten dicked down properly?” he teases as he thrusts in and out of your abused pussy.
you mewl when his cock hits a deep spot inside of you, but it wasn’t enough. he sensed your need, grabbing your legs and putting them over his shoulders to thrust even deeper into you. the angle made you scream out. your fingers grip into the sheets again. one of his hands find your clit, pinching it.
“y’feel so fucking perfect. like you were made for me.” he groans, loosing his composure. his thrusts got more intense, faster, and sloppier. but still felt heavenly. the mix of his cock hitting your soft spot along with him playing with your clit, you squeeze around his cock, about to cum. drool fell from the corner of your mouth as your tits bounced in your shirt as you came closer and closer to the edge.
“gonna-gonna cum!” you scream. he only goes faster.
“gonna cum with you, baby. bein’ so fucking good for me.” he gets more vocal when he’s closer to cuming. he didn’t know what felt better, your hot mouth or your hot tight pussy. there was sweat dripping down his neck. you wanted nothing more than to lick it up, but didn’t dare move in fear of him not letting you cum. he was in full control. with a few final thrusts, you finish around him with a loud moan. he follows suit, his hot seed filling you to the brim.
you are both panting at this point, but he’s still half hard inside of you. you look at him with heavy, confused eyes when he doesn't make a move to pull out.
“oh, we’re not done until you’re begging me to stop, pretty girl.”
Tumblr media
“wow! this place looks amazing! you guys did a great job around the farm!” your grandma smiles at the handsome young man. he gives her his classic innocent charming smile.
“can’t take all the credit, m’aam. your granddaughter did most of the work.” his strong hands rested at his hips.
“how in the world did you get her to do that!?”
you watch from the porch, wearing a sweater to cover all the marks leon had given you. everytime you’d complain about a task, he’d bend you over and fuck you until you were crying for him to stop at the overstimulation.
the older woman called you over to have you help with leon’s bag. you sigh, walking over as she walked away to talk to her husband.
“you still never gave me my panties back…” you lean against his truck, looking up at him. he chuckles, running a hand down your arm.
“think of it as your parting gift to me, darlin’” he says, giving your arm a squeeze before shouting a goodbye to your grandparents and giving you one last wink and a tilt of his hat before stepping into his truck.
maybe this town isn’t too bad….

(7) Cheater: Dick Grayson x reader
Tumblr media
part 1/ part 2 / part 3 / part 4/ part 5 / part 6
A/N: ladies and gentlemen I give you : THE FINALE! happy early b-day @pookieisme4life 🎁🎁 (I was about to wait till 24th but it turned out impossible I am so excited to post it!!!)
***
„Who the hell are you?”
Honestly, he could care less about the ID of the mystery person, nor he hoped for the actual answer, but the initial shock did just that.
They were driving towards some unknown destination that was allegedly the location of the place Y/N was taken to.
“Nice try, Nightwing. Keep dreaming” the person, who was already deemed as a woman, laughed, swirling abruptly yet skillfully.
“Seriously you can’t just expect me to address you in a hey, you way.”
“Valid point. For the sake of it, let’s settle on calling me Shadow.”
“Fine. Whatever. Now why are you helping me?”
“I did some bad things In my life. Maybe this is my way of making up for them.”
“Huh. Seeking redemption?”
“Pretty nice trope, isn’t it?” she laughed. It was actually pretty nice to be able to use humor even in dire situations. “I was always a sucker for the character who wants to do better in their life.”
“Yeah. At least you chose a better way to do so than my brother.”
“You mean Red Hood?”
“For someone I don’t know shit about, you seem awfully knowledgeable about my family ties.”
“Intel is everything, Nightwing. And yes, I know what your other brother, Red Robin, might say.”
“Who the hell are you?!” At this point Dick was really getting curious.
“A friend.” She responded, looking right at him, her eyes shining from behind the mask.
***
“Let me go!!”
“Easy princess. Behave or this might actually get worse for you.”
“LET ME GO!!” she struggled against the binding on her wrist and the sack put on her head.
“What did I tell you, you bitch!?” She was abruptly pulled out of the car and thrown onto the ground. “Do you have a death wish?!”
“Fuck you!”
“If I were you, I’d cooperate, you little slut. Otherwise we might have to scar that pretty face of yours more than it’s necessary.”
With a sharp movement the sack was torn off her head and she had to squint her eyes from the light that hit her eyes with excessive force, reinforced by the fact she had just spent god knows how much time in a dark car with eyes covered.
“Shit…” there was no possibility to hold back the hiss and a few tears rolling down her cheeks.
“Yes. Yes sunshine, you’re in deep shit.” The kidnapper kneeled to her level and caressed her cheek in a condescending gesture, obviously misreading her tears as a sign of fear and submission. “So pretty…”
“Piss off!” she acted instinctively, ending up with a slap on the cheek and stinging sensation that only added to her anger.
“Didn’t I tell you to behave?”
“I had a stinking sack on my head, maybe there was something wrong with my hearing at the time and – “ her head spun to the side as another slap, this time far harder landed on her cheek.
“Well you definitely heard me now. And if you didn’t I won’t hesitate to remind you again. Now get up, we’re taking you to the boss.”
Great.
She was in a freaking video game, when two brainless thugs captured her for a reason that was still a mystery to her and was now taking her to the den of a final boss on the level.
***
“Y/N Y/L/N.”
Should she even be surprised that said den had a design of a video game? Dark, cold, adjourned with different kinds of weapons scattered here and there, huge desk in the middle and three monitors that took up the entire wall?
Almost grotesque.
But hey, who was she to judge the taste of Gotham’s criminals, right?
She probably should have been terrified, praying to every higher power to be saved by Batman, Red Hood, Robin or – damn – even Poison Ivy in the worst case, but for some reason she couldn’t bring herself to that particular emotion. It was like her brain refused to anchor in reality and everything turned into a freaking dream she was sure to wake up from any second now.
Though maybe getting back to reality in which Dick was still with Sienna and she was brokenhearted wasn’t really a good alternative.
Right. Dick.
Did he even notice her gone? Or was he too busy patching things up with his girlfriend, already forgetting about Y/N? The girl he claimed to love?
A kick in the back of the knees that send her to the floor (again) made her realize that while getting lost in her thoughts she missed the obviously very important and very detailed speech of the villain who was describing his wicked plan to take over the world and –
“Ouch!”
“Stupid bitch.”
“It hurts!” she tried to squirm away from the kicking but it was immensely hard with her hands still bound.
“Hold the fire, boys. Easy. The lady is our guest after all and this is not how we treat guests, is it?” The goons chuckled darkly, because clearly guests were deserving of a far more cruel and brutal treatment. “Now, now, don’t be scared little one. We won’t hurt you. Much. At least not until you give us what we want.”
The owner of a deep, husky voice, who clearly was the host of the party finally decided to step forward and show his face.
Well.
Not exactly showing his face.
***
 “Could you at least tell me who we’re dealing with here?!” Dick muttered, keeping his voice low as he and Shadow pulled at the abandoned building on the outskirts of Gotham. “Do you even know?”
“Why? Does it matter?” Shadow joked “Would you use a different contingency plan for Riddler and another one for Two Face?”
“Could you please stop joking about it? This is my girlfriend we’re talking about!”
The emotions started to come to the surface, and Nightwing started becoming uncharacteristically scatter-brained.
“Idiot. Keep it down!” Shadow hissed, pulling him behind the corridor crease, miraculously avoiding the watchful gaze of the guardian. “Here’s what I get for putting myself at risk. Nightwing announcing his presence to the entire compound filled with criminals. Get yourself together. Or is it too hard for you?!”
Dick grimaced. He hated himself at the moment. For both losing his cool, especially in front of someone who could hold it against him and for missing on precious time since every second counted.
“Y/N. Think about Y/N.” he muttered to himself “She needs your help. Now more than ever.”
He took a few deep breaths, calming down the storm inside him to the point where he was actually in control and capable of turning the fear and concern into anger.
If anyone touched his Y/N….
“You back?”
“Yeah. Yeah, I’m back.” He opened his eyes, completely focused, eyes sharp, instincts on high alert. “Tell me who’s the fucker who dared to take her.”
“Black Mask.”
“Fucker.” The word left Dick’s lips without the involvement of his brain. That was how much he loved her. The golden boy, teasing, joking and playful nightwing turned into a machine, swearing and ready to freaking kill, almost Red Hood like.
“So? Ready to kick some asses?”
“After you.” The predatory smirk blooming on his face was a sign of incoming violence and spilling blood.
***
Her screams mixed with the ones coming from the corridor in a beautiful, gory cacophony of sounds. An ode painted with blood and pain. Maybe that was why for a longer moment no one in the room actually paid attention nor was willing to try and differentiate the sources of notes in the song.
 Or maybe it was the fact that the goons’ cries were extremely high-pitched, almost reaching the same key as the yelling of a woman trapped in the torture machine, losing strength with every passing second.
“Oh no, no, no, no.” Black Mask laughed cruelly “you don’t get to pass out on me yet. Info first.” The iron grip on her wrist tightened even more, as if that was even possible, cutting into skin and muscle, amplifying the blood loss.
For the last whatever-time-passed she was kept on the edge of consciousness as if Black Mask was hoping that choking, hurting and injecting with some substance would cause her to lose inhibitions and finally blurt out the information he was so dead set on getting.
Who is Nightwing.
Who is Batman.
Any piece of information would turn out to be useful, but since the beginning of the questioning it became painfully clear that that stupid girl was either too weak or too strong to answer.
Too weak because it seemed that even the slightest amount of pain made her repeatedly pass out and too strong because on those intermittent periods where she actually was conscious and aware of the surroundings enough to talk was the one making her extremely stubborn and uncooperative.
And Black Mask was losing his patience.
Here he was, gracing that little scum with his presence instead of submitting her to the treatment of his lower men, with less than gracious methods and she had the audacity to be bratty.
A vicious circle in which he was using the moments to get information only to be refused, beating her again and ending up with a thoughtless body, achieving nothing, over and over again.  
He should have just stuck to using his rat, skillfully planted in Gotham.  
“Fuck!” he yelled seeing as once again she went limp on the chair only because he pulled her nail. “Stupid bitch!”
“Mmmmm…” Y/N muttered and for a moment the room was completely quiet save from her little whimpering.
And then –
“OUCH!”
“FUCK!”
“RETREAT!”
“The hell?” Black Mask walked to the door and looked through the peephole. “Fuck!” Seeing his guards and men being thrown in different directions, sounds of yelling and snapping bones alongside with blood streaming on the floor was not the best view before 7 p.m. and definitely not the best without his favorite drink. Under any other circumstances he would be giving zero fucks about the violence outside the safe door, but now – he had a plan to complete and no one, fucking no one would prevent him from succeeding.
The loud sound of a door’s guard crashing with the metal surface and pictorially sliding down with crushed skull caused Sionis to quickly recalibrate his plan.
Seemed like Red Hood was in the house. And not that Sionis was scared, but-
“Hold them back!” he yelled, grabbing the limp body of Y/N and rushing towards the safety exit, to the roof where his private jet was landed just in case of emergencies.
And this was clearly an emergency.
***
The door broke about 30 seconds after Black Mask rushed to the passage.
“You carry explosives with you everywhere?” Dick muttered, equally impressed and shocked.
“What? It comes in handy and -”
“AAAAH!” Both goons rushed at the two vigilantes before Shadow could finish a sentence, but their brave loud cries quickly turned to quiet, broken sobbing as they were laid down.
“Be a sweetheart and tell me where he went?” Nightwing leaned over the goon with an almost soft smile.
“mhm…” inert waving towards the passage was enough of an answer.
“Good boy. Thanks.”
***
“NO!!” she yelled as Black Mask was dragging her through the roof. Sudden realization of all the things that could go wrong making her much more valiant and strong. As long as she was still in Gotham and not exported to another city or – god forbid – country – could result in being deemed as another missing-without-trail- person.
That is – if someone was even looking for her in the first place.
Tears pricked in the corner of her eyes at the thought that she could be so easily forgotten.
And the terror she was holding back for so long, since the moment of being dragged into that black SUV, finally found a way out…
“NIGHTWING!!!”
***
“Y/N!!”
A dead man would hear that cry and even a dead man would rise from the dead at the sheer desperation beaming from the voice.
“Y/N!!! I’m coming!”
***
“You’re becoming a trouble!” Black Mask hissed, slapping her repeatedly, drawing another stream of blood this time from the broken lip.
“I – “
“I’m so done with you. Should have just killed you the second you turned out to be of zero significance to the cause. Now come here you little bitch-“
“No!!”
She blindly started to run away, only to trip (obviously) and ending up back in Sionis’ grip.
“NO!!”
He was too strong and she was too scared and stiff to fight anymore. Digging heels into the ground did no harm and was definitely no hindrance in being pulled towards the ledge of the 10-stories building.
“NO!!!!”
“Y/N!!”
Both the girl and Sionis froze for a moment as another male voice cut into the screaming match.
But it was too late.
***
“Go!” Shadow was probably the only one who didn’t lose cold blood.  “GO!”
***
She was falling.
And it was beautiful.
Knowing that she would finally be free of all the pain, of all the heartbreak, of the guilt coming with betraying another girl by sleeping with someone else’s boyfriend. Liberated from being stuck in the memories of the past when she was actually happy, before everything went to shit.
“I love you Dick…” she whispered, finally crashing to the ground.
***
“Who the hell are you?!”
“Oh, come on, not this again!” Shadow hissed, extremely dissatisfied with the fact that everyone she encountered was far more interested in getting to know her personality, rather than fearing her killer skills.
For Black Mask it took a record time of ten minutes before calling defeat and ending up bound and being taken by the GCPD.
***
“Y/N.”
She opened one eye and much to her surprise found out that she was not a celestial body looking at her bloodied pulp of a body on the pavement.
“I love you too…” the warm embrace around her was welcomed but in time started to become a little suffocating and her battered body refused to be squeezed.
“Dickie…”
“Shh… shh, I got you.” He whispered again, caressing her hair, kissing her forehead, doing everything to assure both her and himself that it was all over and that he got her, that she was safe and he would never let it happen again. Never.
“H-How? W-what happened-? I – I thought-“
“You thought so little of me, didn’t you?”
“Idiot.”
“Hey!”
“Fucking prick! I swear if it wasn’t for this – “ she swung her injured arm in the air “I’d slap the hell out of you!”
“I saved you!”
“I almost died and you’re making jokes!”
Oh. Right. Maybe, just maybe given the circumstances it was slightly inappropriate.
“Sorry.”
“Yeah. You better.” She pouted, but he knew better, wiping the unshed tears. “It’s over.”
“Promise?”
“I promise.”
“What happened?”
“I’m an acrobat, remember? I jumped. And damn, I wish someone had that on video because it was really one of my best – Ouch! Ouch! Ok, ok! Stop it! Point taken!”
***
“How are we doing here?”
Once Sionis was seated in the back of a police car, hands were shaken and words of gratitude exchanged Shadow walked towards Dick and Y/n.
“I think she’ll live.” Dick teased with a smirk, predictably moving a safe distance away from his -- .
Right.
Maybe there was no happy ending after all with that messed up relationship thing hanging over their heads like a freaking axe.
“Can’t say the same about Nightwing though” Y/N pushed the thought away, settling on sending him a death stare for making fun of her again.
“Good. I’m glad.”
“I think you made up for whatever crime you were trying to redeem, Shadow. Thank you. I owe you. You saved my –“
“Girlfriend?” Shadow prompted, looking between Y/N and Dick, making them both blush in a bit of embarrassment.
“It’s complicated-“ they both said at the same time.
“Oh, trust me, it’s not complicated at all!” Shadow laughed
“What do you mean? You don’t know-“
“I know more than you think. Haven’t I proved that already?” Shadow turned around, making sure no one was watching and slowly took of her mask.
***
Fast forward. One week later.
Y/N was walking out of the hospital. It seemed like her arm was healing nicely and there were no complications, though her doctor was very stern while telling her she was supposed to rest and not get herself involved in any form of physical activity.
If he only knew that she was in a relationship with Gotham’s and Bludhaven vigilante.
“Y/N!”
Speaking of which, said vigilante was now honking at her from his Porsche.
“Showoff!”
“Get in loser, we’re going shopping!
She laughed and jumped inside the vehicle.
“You’re supposed to hold the doors open for me!”
“Mh. Missed you too, sunshine.” He leaned over the gearbox kissing her with a cheeky grin. “How’s the hand?”
“She’ll live.”
“Quoting me already, princess? Careful, I might think you consider me a superstar or something.”
“Idiot!”
“Ouch! You’re hurting me. But I’m willing to forgive you, giving the circumstances of late.”
He started the engine and took the way to the city.
“Yeah. Crazy, right?” her head fell onto the car’s headrest and she sighed heavily. “I mean – who would have thought…”
***
Flashback
“S-Sienna!?”
“Hey you two.”
“h-hey? What do you mean “hey”?! What is this?! Some sick joke?!”
In her stupor Y/N missed the fact that Dick was as shocked (if not more) as her. Hence it couldn’t have been any conspiracy against Y/N’s mental health.
“Whoa! Whoa! Relax!” Shadow Sienna raised her hands in surrender “Dick-“
“The hell?! How do you know? Damn it-!” he forgot about all the rules of safety and tore off his mask. Getting to the bottom of this shit was far more important.
“- I meant what I said. Really! About that redemption arc! Just – just listen to me!”
“Five minutes.”
“It was all a scheme-“
“Well let me tell you, your explanation is starting off the wrong foot” Dick groaned, pulling Y/N to his side to strengthen her mentally.
“I am Black Mask’s niece in the second line!” Sienna explained dramatically “wait-! Wait-! I have no loyalty to him! Not anymore!”
“One minute left.” Dick hissed
“It was all a plan. He had some vague idea about the ties between the one Dick Grayson and Batman and Y/N and wanted to use all of you against each other.”
“Thirty seconds.”
“Yes, fine! I was his spy for a moment, but then you two-. God! You love each other! And I just couldn’t- I couldn’t-“
Y/N wriggled out of Dick’s embrace and walked to Sienna, grabbing both her hands in her healthy one.
“Thank you.”
End of flashback
***
 “I really hope you took your golden visa with you, cause I am about to go crazy with this shopping spree.”
“Hey. No limits on Bruce’s cards. He won’t even notice the loss of a couple thousands and I got my girl back, so-“
“I think we should send-“
“I already took care of that.”
After all the trouble and drama they got their happy ending.
***
In another part of town a certain girl found a fruit and sweet basket on her doorstep. With a little, but meaningful card.
It seemed like she found her happy ending too.
One in which she was no longer used by anyone and treated as a villain.
With the view for a future of freedom.

a/n: shsusbsihsw i can’t— this idea has been plaguing my mind 😭
.
“A Duel For Your Hand.”
warning(s): swearing
summary: mizu knew you ever since she was a child. you two were friends, and she grew feelings for you. one day, you had to move. until one day, you saw her again, and complained to her about how your father was marrying you off to some noble.
mizu x fem!childhood crush!reader
——————————————————————————
Long ago, when you were just a young lady, you befriended a child just your age. An outcast, but you still talked to her. Your father was a swordsman, and one that has received a blade from Master Eiji. Your father respected Eiji, often times still visiting the old man for memories and to train with him.
You were never really close to your father, but you were close to Eiji. Often times, when your father was away for business, you’d be staying with Eiji and helping alongside him here and there.
One day, you ran all the way to Master Eiji’s place to show him something cool that your father had given you. You opened the door, only to find another child around your age, a little bit shorter, holding large iron tongs while Eiji was doing his thing.
“Master Eiji, guess what my papa got me!—“ You looked over at the other child, who was staring at you very closely and almost surprised. What’s a pretty, young lady like you doing here? You were dressed nice and seemed to be far too delicate to be around sharp blades.
Eiji held up his finger, then motioned for the child to hand him the tongs. “I see you have ran all the way from your home to show me…let me guess, another hair pin?” You eagerly nodded, running over to his side and squealing about the gift your father had given you after he had returned home from whatever business he had.
“So..who are you?” You curiously asked as you turned around to face the child, who was still looking at you in awe. You noticed her blue eyes, which seemed to be so clear and mesmerizing. They were like the color of the water—so blue and pretty.. Noticing that she was staring, she cleared her throat.
“M-Mizu. Uh, I’m just staying here..” Mizu said as she scratched the back of her neck. Oh god, was she falling for you already? Well, why wouldn’t anyone—you’re so pretty and you look like an angel in her eyes.
Days turned into months. Then months turned into years. Each time that you could go down to Master Eiji’s place, you’d always be a ball of sunshine with something to talk about. Whether if it’s some hair pin your father gave to you, or a new skill you learned, you’d always talk about it to Mizu. That was until you had to move away.
Here you are, mumbling and grumbling in the cold weather while stomping your feet in the snow. Now you were a grown woman, and one that was forced to learn all the arts of being a ‘perfect wife’. You threw the charms in your hair and the hairpins to the ground, frustrated that your father had set you up with a dumb, old nobleman. You had to excuse yourself from the room and immediately ran outside to attempt to calm yourself.
“Damn, angry much?” A voice spoke out from behind you. You turned around, your first instinct was to throw one of your hairpins at the person. But they caught it with two fingers, just inches away from their eyes behind those tinted glasses. The person smirked, pulling down the tinted glasses to reveal their blue eyes. “My god, is this the treatment I get when I finally find you again?”
That voice. It was Mizu! Absolutely delighted, you immediately gasped and ran over to her, immediately tackling her into the snow while hugging her tightly. She chuckled, hand on your back while you wrapped your arms around her waist while wailing. “I missed you so much! Oh my god, you can’t believe the bullshit my father is putting me through!” Mizu only smiled, sitting up against a tree while you sat in front of her, complaining and wailing about how your father’s trying to marry you off to some man! That part made her a tad bit pissed off. A beautiful woman like yourself being married off to someone certainly not worth your time? Fuck no. Is she going to duel this guy to perhaps steal you away instead? Yep.
“Seems like you want out of this, right?” She said after you finally stopped complaining, now just curled up beside her and leaning against her arm. You nodded immediately. You now just noticed she has grown. You used to be taller, but now she’s the taller one! And my god are her hands—wait, are you growing feelings again? “I want to see this man. I’m going to kill him, you’re not marrying some snobby asshole today.”
Much to your annoyance, Mizu had fought her way through your guards and marched on into the estate with ease. You followed after her, trying to get the guards to stand down but they won’t and Mizu ends up knocking a few of them off. More mess for the cleaners to deal with. Until she kicks down the door to the room your father and that suitor was in. “My god, this is the guy? You couldn’t even find a suitable man for your daughter?” Mizu groaned, rubbing her temples in annoyance before she pointed her blade at the guy. “I want to duel you. For her hand, of course. Don’t worry, your loss will be swift and it won’t hurt all that much considering how you have no real talent.”
“You? Some beggar boy against me? Princess, do you have any idea how stupid you are?!” The man yelled, standing up and kicking over the table. Your father glared at you, also yelling at you how unladylike it is so choose white trash over a real man.
Ah, that ticked Mizu off, and you already had a feeling this guy was about to get his ass whooped.
Nothing better than to sit on a rock in your backyard, watching in amusement how your drunk, clearly reeking of alcohol and a snobbish piece of trash of a suitor was holding a sword against Mizu. Mizu stood there, circling the man carefully while her blade was pointed right at him, waiting for him to strike.
One, two, three You counted down, and Mizu strikes just as you hit three. You watched very intently, leaning forward as Mizu absolutely decimated that poor man. “Beat his ass!” You loudly yelled to cheer on Mizu, in which you received a slap on the back of your head by your father, who wasn’t at all happy. Mizu glanced over at you and smirked, determined to win your hand in marriage.
“Got you,” Mizu casually said as she swung her leg out and tripped the man, making him fall face first into the snow while the tip of her blade rests right beside his head. He groaned in pain as his body collided into the snow and grunted, yelling about how Mizu was no man, but a monster from hell.
“You did it! I mean, of course you did!” You loudly shouted as you ran over to her side, pulling her into a big hug while she wrapped one arm around your waist. You looked up at her, finding a small smile on her lips before she kissed your forehead.
“You’re mine now, Princess.”

Macbeth, David Tennant - A very subjective, spoiler and emotion filled review
Just walking out of seing Macbeth at the Donmar and I have Feelings. Unsurprisingly, I primarily went to see it because David Tennant was in it. I love the play, big fan of Shakespeare but the trip to London was most certainly motivated by a very specific actor. Hence the highly subjective review. Fortunately, I also happen to quite like Macbeth. We studied it at school, and it holds a special place in my heart (back then, Hamlet was my favourite Shakespeare play but honestly, after tonight, I’m not so sure anymore. Anyway, I digress). It was my first time actually seeing an actor I’m a fan of in real life, so obviously the entire time my brain was just going oh my god that’s David Tennant oh my god that’s David Tennant like I actually could not comprehend it. The man I’ve spent hours staring at on a little screen is suddenly real, and right there. So yeah, that took me a hot second.
Tumblr media
(Excuse the piss poor image quality, I took this with shaky hands without looking or bothering to focus the cam)
The Staging
Still starstruck and a bit dazed, one thing really really stood out to me: the staging. It was so, so good. I knew it was going to be minimal from the pictures I had seen, and it was, but it was also so insanely real. There were barely any decorations, and half the cast and the musicians were hidden behind a glass screen doing background noises and gestures. From where I was sitting I could not see them much, but could definitely hear them which added to the overall atmosphere. The stage was also really tiny, and the play benefitted incredibly from it. All the action was happening in one tight space that had been put to use incredibly well, particularly the banquet scene but I’ll come back to that because it deserves its own paragraph.
The way they chose to do the soliloquies was so fitting - all the actors start to move in slow motion - everyone else slowing down and just the characters speaking moving was so good, it made sense.
The Headphones
I’m a bit mixed about the headphones. They were amazing for the vibes, we could hear whispers and they really heightened some of the emotional speeches in the play - because when someone is struggling with guilt and trauma it makes sense for them to be mumbling rather than yelling. So that was really great. However, especially in the scenes where the actors where yelling/ loud I preferred to take them off a bit cause it felt more real that way. I’m so used to hearing actors voice on recordings, it does hit different when you can hear them for real. But, as I said, personal preference and that’s what’s nice, you can take them on and off as much as you want.
Famous Speeches
There were three speeches I was quite interested to see how they were going to be adapted - scorpions and dagger for Macbeth, and out damned spot for Lady Macbeth. These are classic, everyone knows the words, the plot but they managed to make it feel real in a new and touching way. I think here the headphones were quite helpful because they allowed the actors to actually whisper parts of those lines. They were so subtle, so embedded in the text they felt so natural which imbued them with all their power. I saw in a review Cush Jumbo’s out damned spot speech be described as “haunting”, and I wholeheartedly agree.
The Macbeths
I didn’t like Macbeth, the character, very much when I first learnt about him. His actions didn’t make sense to me, I couldn’t quite comprehend in my 21st century little brain how he went from I’m super loyal to the King to I will freely murder children for shits and giggles. But now, now I understand. It makes sense, it’s believable. And that’s a mix of the acting choices and teh overall setting. Like the opening scene, instead of presenting Macbeth as a glorious hero, he is presented to us as a traumatised hero. He spends the first few minutes washing the blood of his clothes, haunted by noises from the battlefield. And that sets the themes quite nicely, not ambition, as Tennant specified in an interview, but guilt and trauma. There are so many ways to interpret Shakespeare, that’s the beauty of it, and I think this version of Macbeth just resonated more with me (maybe because ambition I don’t quite understand but guilt I am intimately familiar with? Or maybe because it was David Tennant? I don’t know, probably a bit of both). Tennant delivers a convincing Macbeth. Yes, you can see his ambitions play out, but also his fears, his guilt, and that makes him into a complex three dimensional character that you want to understand.
And I absolutely loved this version of Lady Macbeth. Not just a powerful woman who bullies her husband into become an evil murderer (because again, here we can see traces of that in Macbeth from the start), but an ambition woman in love, with her husband, with power, and not quite healed from the trauma of loosing her child. Again another review said she is more of an enabler than a manipulator and I quite liked that description.
My Favourite Scenes
God the banquet scene. The one with the ghost of Banquo. An absolute masterpiece. I did not expect that scene to hit that hard. It was raw, it was powerful and even if Tennant was facing away from where I was sitting, even without seeing his face I could feel the emotion, the whole audience could. In a video essay on Tennant, @davidtennantgenderenvy highlighted how in almost every role he played, there is it is the classic Tennant breakdown moment, and breakdown moment it was. Not with tears, not as expressive as he sometime is but just enough for a King trying to hold it together but fear and guilt breaking through. I was absolutely overwhelmed and it was beautiful. The set up for the scene was amazing too - there were ceilidh, celebrations, I adored the contrast between these fast pasted scenes and guilt ridden whispers of the couple. And the way everyone sat down around the stage and suddenly it looked like a banquet table ? Just perfect.
Another really cool moment, less on the emotional side but more on the visuals was when Macbeth goes to get the second prophecy from the witches. Almost the whole cast is there, running around, moving, almost dancing and it gives the whole thing a mystical atmosphere. There’s smoke, Macbeth falls, is carried up high Jesus style, cowers, rises, it’s so busy and insane all the while there are whispers and whispers in the headphones - it manages perfectly to feel like a mystical moment.
Descent Into Madness & other cool things
For Macbeth, having the kid running around scene after scene, haunting him, and then scene where he kills him - GOD it’s powerful. Lady Macbeth’s descent into madness was so well characterised, I also loved the glass on the background that locked away some of the cast. Just wild. The actor that played Malcom actor was also really cool, and Macduff and Ross, big fan of all of them.
Overall I am overwhelmed with emotions. Tennant is truly one of my favourite actors - from Good Omens to Staged, Jessica Jones, even Harry Potter but also Mad to be Normal, Nativty, There She Goes, Around the World in 80 days, Doctor Who (god I’ve started a list, never start lists cause you’ll forget people) and so, so many more, I was truly beside myself with excitement and expectations for tonight. And it did not disappoint. I do not want to leave the theatre and I pray they release a recording of this because I want it imprinted on my soul.
(Side note: I don’t know how to use tumblr very well, for some reason whenever I try to reply to ppl it posts from my other blog? Anyway @raquel-and-sergio is in fact me)

The Right Place in Time
Summary: What if Steve was in the woods with Chrissy and Eddie getting weed for his headaches?
Chapter one
Chapter two
Chapter Three
Steve was on a high. They were all spilling out into the parking lot, talking about how awesome Lucas was. Eddie was hanging off of Steve, both of them beaming with pride. Suddenly, Lucas came rushing at them, grinning widely. Mike and Dustin were the first ones to hug him.
"You were so awesome!" Dustin exclaimed while Mike nodded eagerly. "I'm so glad we didn't miss this."
The rest of Hellfire followed, ending with Steve and Eddie hugging him both.
"Your mother and I are so proud of you!" Eddie said, pinching his cheeks.
"Thanks, dad," Lucas said sarcastically and paused. "I'm glad you guys are getting along."
"Well, Stevie here really put me in my place," Eddie grinned. "Apparently, he collects lost sheep just like I do."
They were having such a good moment, too. Until Jason Carver showed up to ruin it.
"Hey, Sinclair, are these freaks bothering you?" Jason asked him, as if he were doing Lucas a favor.
"No," he replied.
"Cause if they were - "
"They're my friends," Lucas said quickly.
"You're friends with them?" Jason asked.
"I'm in Hellfire too," he replied proudly.
"You never said - " Jason said furiously.
"You never asked," Lucas replied.
"You're so off the team," Jason snarled.
"There's no rules that say he can't play basketball and be in Hellfire, Jason," Chrissy said, coming up behind him. "It was this kind of reaction that he was afraid, which probably led him to not telling you. Besides, you don't have the power to kick him off."
"Chrissy! Babe - "
"Don't you 'babe' me!" Chrissy scowled at him. "I dumped your ass, remember?"
"Are you really defending these guys, Chris? Did they brainwash you?" Jason asked.
"The only brainwashing that happened with me was at the hands of you and my mother. You two were planning my entire life for me!" Chrissy snapped at him.
"We only wanted what was best for you," Jason said.
"By making every little decision for me? What I ate, what I wore?" Chrissy asked. "Fuck that. Fuck you."
"This is your fault," Jason snarled at Eddie. "If your life wasn't hell before - "
"Hey!" Chrissy snapped, stepping close to him, looking deadly. "If you even think about hurting them or go anywhere near them, I will show everyone that picture I took of you. . . I mean, everyone."
"You said you burned that," Jason scowled.
"I took two pictures, Jason," Chrissy said sweetly. "They're off limits, understand?"
"Fine, if you want to be Satan's slut - "
Chrissy fist swung out and slammed into his face. Everyone yelled out in surprise. Jason looked at her with wide eyes, his nose bleeding.
"Being Satan's slut sounds a hell of a lot better than being your little bitch," Chrissy snapped.
Jason scowled, tears in his eyes, and stormed off. Once he was gone, Chrissy clutched her fist, wincing.
"Damn, Chrissy," Eddie grinned as he took her hand, massaging her knuckles.
"I never punched anyone before. It fucking hurts," Chrissy replied and then she watched as the members of Hellfire started to kneel before her. "Uh, what are they doing?"
"All hail Chrissy, Queen of the Freaks," Eddie said and kneeled before her, holding her hand. "We gladly bestow this title upon you, honor bound by your heroics. We thank thee for defending us, our brave Lady of Hellfire."
"Oh my god!" Someone from the parking lot called out. "Eddie Munson's proposing to Chrissy Cunningham!"
"Nope! Nope!" Eddie said quickly and stood up. "That is not what's happening here!"
Chrissy giggled as the person ran off.
"Guys!" The person yelled. "Chrissy defended Eddie Munson against Jason, and now Eddie's asking her to marry him!"
Eddie shrieked and went to chase after the person, but Chrissy pulled him back.
"It's too late, Eddie. They're gone," she laughed. "Besides, it would piss my mother off to hear that we're engaged."
"Well, I do love to piss off controlling parents," Eddie grinned. "Now, how far are you willing to go to piss her off?"
"All the way down the aisle, baby," Chrissy said. "Ooh, even better if I'm very pregnant with your kid."
"Excuse me?" Steve asked.
"Aw, I think he's feeling left out again," Chrissy said.
"Ooh, even better if Steve’s the father of our baby," Eddie said.
"Scandalous!" She gasped.
"Oh, he's thinking about it," Dustin said, pointing at his face. "You can see it in his eyes."
Steve scowled and swiped at his hand as everyone laughed. He was rolling his eyes at them all, but there was a warmth blooming in his chest at the sight of Eddie and Chrissy giggling together. It was quickly disturbed by Robin coming over to the group.
"I just heard a weird rumor that Eddie Munson proposed to Chrissy Cunningham after she kicked Jason Carver's ass. How true is that?" Robin asked the group.
"Well, she definitely punched Jason in the face," Steve smirked proudly. "But the other thing is a misunderstanding."
Suddenly, Vickie was pushing herself through the group to get to Chrissy.
"I heard you're engaged to Eddie, Chrissy. What the hell?" Vickie asked breathlessly.
"Damn, that kid worked fast," Jeff said.
"It's just a rumor, Vickie," Chrissy said. "I did punch Jason though."
"Thank God, I hated guy," Vickie said, and then she noticed Robin standing next to her. "Oh, hey, Robin."
"Hey, Vickie," Robin smiled, her cheeks turning pink.
"Chrissy's my cousin," she explained.
"Oh, I didn't know that, that's cool," Robin said. "Very cool."
"Yeah."
"Yeah."
Steve smiled at the exchange. Judging by the way Vickie was looking at Robin, she was very interested.
"You know, we could stand around in the parking lot, or we could go and celebrate Lucas's victory," Jeff said, clapping his hands together.
Nancy approached the group, looking frazzled.
"Well, Mike can't go anywhere. He's got a bedtime tonight," Nancy said.
"Oooh," Jeff, Frank, and Gareth said in unison.
"Shut up!" Mike snapped. "Nancy!"
"What? You've been looking forward to seeing your girlfriend for a while now," Nancy said. "Say goodnight, Mike."
"Can you stop treating me like a little kid?" Mike asked.
"Maybe if you stopped acting like one," Nancy said. "I've been looking for you everywhere."
They all watched in amusement as the siblings bickered all the way to her car.
"Well, Mike's out. Anyone else?" Frank asked.
"Well, I got a deal with Chrissy that we still want to make, right?" Eddie asked.
"I mean, did you want to celebrate first? I would be down with that too," Chrissy asked.
"Hell yeah!" Eddie exclaimed.
"We could also fully initiate Chrissy as our queen," Lucas snickered.
"And officially welcome Steve as Hellfire's den mother. He does make the brownies I bring," Dustin laughed.
"You make them? What's your secret?" Eddie asked with narrowed eyes.
"You have to be a Harrington to know the recipe," Steve said.
"Quick, Chrissy, marry Steve and then tell me the recipe!" Eddie exclaimed, and she laughed. "Hell. You know, what? If I marry you, Steve, then can I know your recipe? I would be even more eager to do it knowing how illegal it is."
He wiggled his eyebrows at Steve.
"It'd been even more illegal if we all married each other," Chrissy giggled.
"That's polygamy, Chrissy," Dustin said matter of factly.
"I know," Chrissy whispered. "I'm a polygamist."
"Oh! That's cool," Dustin said, glancing at Steve and Eddie, who were sharing an amused look. "Oh! That explains so much now."
"My mother always hated when I learned what that word meant," Chrissy said. "I think that's why she's so hard on me."
"Your heart has always been big enough for more than one person," Vickie grinned.
"Come on, let's go celebrate!" Chrissy grinned excitedly. "Wait. . .where are we going?"
"Skull Rock," Eddie grinned.
"Isn't that where people like to make out?" Steve asked.
"That's where you like to make out," Eddie grinned. "It's where Corroded Coffin likes to party."
Chrissy let out a whoop and began doing cart wheels in the parking lot. Steve watched on, smiling at her as her flips got more impressive. Other people still loitering in the parking lot started to cheer her on, and then she stopped. She spread her arms out wide and started to spin around. Steve’s eyes focus on her smile and the way her hair flips around her, the lights overhead lighting her up. It was almost as if she was glowing and the way she moved. . .it was almost magical. Suddenly, the lights started to flicker. The bulb needed to be changed.
"I'm free as a bird," she yelled out and for a moment her eyes landed on Steve as well as Eddie.
Suddenly, she stopped, her back to them, and her arms flopped to her side. She wasn't moving at all now, and the lights were flickering in more than one spot.
"Chrissy?" Steve called out.

Draken. Petty. Hair. DO IT.
Suck toes.
Ken Ryuguji x reader
What happens when gang member has a bad week and wakes up in a sour mood...alone?
Tumblr media
Each day was as shitty as the last. If it wasn't the little annoyance of Mikey falling asleep after eating or making Kenny carry him around it was another gang trying to get on Toman turf or some brats picking a fight with him. Kenny felt like he couldn't catch a break, and just then was no different.
"Get lost, punk. I'm not in the mood today!" Draken growled, Mikey asleep on his back as he walked. It was just the perfect moment for the first year to get his ass beat. God, if Kenny could just put Mikey on the sidewalk and leave this whole mess to the unconscious boy. Though, he'd never leave his friend to handle his problems, even if Mikey could handle it. "Oh, is the big bad Draken afraid to fight a kid?" The little shit cackled. Cackled!
Kenny carefully put Mikey on the nearby bench, more pissed than he had been that whole week. "Your fuckin' funeral, brat."
He knew he was an amazing fighter, so he wasn't worried about him. Draken was, however, worried about how hard he was going to hit the boy. He went for a decent hit, sending the kid back a little bit and turning to grab Mikey. There was no need to double check the kid, it was obvious that he was out cold. "You owe me, Mikey." Kenny grumbled. Already that day had been filled with more fights than he liked.
And it didn't get any better when they got to the gang meeting. Peh-Yan was in a mood, meaning Pah-Chin was in a mood and they were picking fights with people left and right. As vice commander Draken had to deal with that. Nahoya was getting fired up because of Pah and Peh. As vice commander he had to handle it. Someone started an all out brawl in the middle of the crowd, and when Kenny went to break it up with the captains his head jerked back from a hit to the nose. It pissed him off to the point he had to leave the meeting.
Why were people all over him? Couldn't he catch a damn break? Didn't he earn some peace and quiet? It was stupid and Kenny was tired of being the person everyone ran after. It almost made him wish he'd dropped the gang shit when he was younger, and it wasn't any better when he returned home.
"Where have you been, Ken?" One of the ladies was already standing at the check in desk of the brothel, "It's late, you know?"
"Tch, get off my ass, okay? M'not in the mood." Draken walked past her. She grabbed hold of his shirt collar, tutting as she pulled him back, "C'mon now, young man, don't talk to me like that. I helped raise your ungrateful ass that I'm on."
He'd had enough, snapping at her for the first time, "Then maybe you shouldn't have! Ever think about that? Or are you too busy thinking about yelling at me when I come home?"
They both paused, Kenny staring angrily at her. He wasn't mad at anyone but himself in that moment, and stormed back past her and to the elevator.
It wasn't her fault he was having a bad week, and she was just being worried about where he'd been running off to so late. He sighed, knowing he'd get that later. She had been the one to primarily raise him, cared for him despite not being obligated to. She'd taught him to walk and talk, helped him learn to shave his face without really knowing how to herself. Kenny slammed a palm into his head as he thought about everything she'd done for him, but it didn't matter. He'd already snapped at her and couldn't bring himself to so much as text her.
There was only one place he could go anymore that wasn't going to make him feel guilty or pissed off, unless she'd had a shit day as well. It was worth it to at least see, and if he left quickly even more pissed off, then whatever.
But, heaven and earth, if he didn't feel a little bit of the weight fall from his shoulders when she answered the door. Her startled smile was still brighter than anything he'd faced his whole life, "Ken-Chin? Is everything okay?" All he had to do was shake his head and fall into a hug. She chuckled, her smaller body supporting the weight of the world that rested on Kenny.
"I can't do it, this week has sucked ass and I can't handle this shit." Kenny followed her inside like a lost and beaten dog. She sauntered around the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of something Kenny couldn't see and a wash cloth. "What happened to your nose, Kenny?" Y/n took her place between his legs, reaching out to gently clean the dried blood from his nose and lip.
"Got punched while I was at the meeting. Left early." Kenny mumbled as he leaned into her, his knees squeezing her middle to trap her next to him, "Weeks been shit, m'done doing it."
She sighed and the sound was enough to make Ken wish he hadn't brought his issues to her door, "Wanna talk about it?"
"Nah, just the normal shit being excessive." He wiped his face to get the peroxide off, smiling at Y/n, "Doing better now, I think."
It was her, everyone knew it was her that kept Kenny chilled out on his bad days. To Mikey it was more than obvious that Kenny sought out her presence when things got tough, often bringing her to meetings and glancing at her just to see her smile. She often lightened the mood, along with Emma who was just as giggly.
Kenny had met Y/n on a day that he needed it the most. He was about to get jumped by a ton of punks, and though he could've handled all of them, he was relieved when he didn't have to. She stomped up from behind him, loud and angry and pointing in everyone's faces, "Who do you think you are, ganging up on someone? I'm ashamed that you all go to this school! Go on!" And her spunky little self seemed to not mind that Kenny was clearly a delinquent, even smiled at him and commented on his tattoo.
The same tattoo she was tracing with her fingertip, talking about her day as Draken zoned back in, "And the math class was so hot I had to take my jacket off and-Kenny?" She'd only just noticed the way his hands were shaking, holding tightly to the bottom of her shirt, "M'fine, sweetheart. Keep talking."
"Well, I had to take my jacket off and, of course, my pen had to have busted in my skirt pocket and stained up my shirt. I've still got a black splotch stained onto my side!" She wound her finger around the dragons tail, making Kenny shiver and rest his head on her shoulder, "So a lot of the girls were laughing about that, rude tramps. But, I knew that I could change in the nurses office so it was an easy fix."
Listening to her problems made him feel better. Seeing how silly she acted over a busted pen, somehow made him feel happy he didn't have such trivial angers.
"What about you, Ken-Chin?" She asked, taking out his braid. He shrugged, "The usual. Little brats want to fight, Mikey is lazy, and the gang is wild. It's just a bit much right now."
"Maybe you should get some rest? You know Mom and Dad don't mind you staying here, we can share my bed, too." Y/n parted his hair down the middle, tugging lightly as she played with it, "You'll wake up and feel ten thousand times better!"
And he wouldn't deny it, either. Instead of grumbling, as he wanted to, he got up and stretched. Never did it cease to amaze him how he towered over her, and he saw it every time she had to crane her neck to look at him. And still Kenny trudged down the hall behind Y/n, yawning and ready to just relax. She tossed the blanket out and laid it over the bed, waving for Kenny to get comfortable. He wasn't about to waste his time asking silly questions of "Are you sure?" He knew she was serious and she'd kick his ass if he didn't get sleep.
But he was going to kick her ass when he woke up alone, to laughter in her living room. Kenny stayed silent as he stood in the hallway, watching as she brushed Mikey's hair, talking about how Kenny had showed up that night. Mikey thanked her as she put his hair up, only the top just how he liked it, and she smiled at him.
There was a quick shot that went through his chest, it was bothersome. Why was Mikey being so close to her? Why was she just smiling at him and laughing as though Kenny, as far as she knew, wasn't still laying in her bed. He could see his hair tie on her wrist and walked up behind them, "Move, Mikey." He didn't hesitate to pick up his best friend and toss him to the other seat, sitting on the floor in front of Y/n. She giggled, resting her legs over his shoulders and moving to softly brush his hair. There were a few knots, but not too many, and she was careful to not tug on them.
"A braid, as usual?" She leaned over and tapped his chest with the brush. He nodded, "Would ya'?"
Kenny didn't mind the slight tugging that pulled his head backward, he was just thankful that her attention was on him and not someone else.

BuckTommy FluffFebruary - Day 14 and 17
prompt for @bucktommyfluffebruary day 14: Valentine's day and day 17: big romantic gestures G | Bucktommy | 857 words (this is me trying to dip my toes back into writing after almost a week of being abandoned by the muse, and I'm not particularly proud of it, but there's Nonna, and I hope you like it ♥)
Tommy still can't quite believe Evan did this. That he surprised Tommy with a ten-day-long trip to Italy to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary (which wasn't on Valentine's day because they're not that cliché; it was on the 15th). Tommy would have been ridiculously moved even if the trip had been just for the two of them, but of course Evan “grand-gestures” Buckley would do more. 
Nonna had been visiting them a few months before and, as per Nonna’s fashion, insisted on feeding them proper Italian food every single day, because ‘my pronipoti need to learn their heritage, Tommaso’. She had prepared an authentic homemade Italian spaghetti, and Tommy had, not for the first time, wished she’d move to LA just so they could have her cooking all the time. 
She had also insisted on putting the twins to bed, telling Tommy that ‘you and Evanino need some time alone, and I need to tell Italian bedtime stories to my babies’. Tommy was secretly grateful for this, because Evan had that look on his face, the one that told Tommy he was desperate to tell him something.
“What’s on your mind, sweetheart?” He asked, and Evan smiled at him, adorably excited.
“I got you an anniversary present!” He blurted out, and Tommy chuckled, frowning at him. 
“Evan, our anniversary is two months away!” Tommy reasoned, and Evan nodded, but didn’t look even a little subdued.
“I know, but we need to plan for it.” He explained, and hugged Tommy’s waist, resting his head on his chest. “I… I bought us tickets. To Italy.”
Tommy’s heart skipped a beat; a few days ago, they’d been talking about places they found romantic (Evan had brought up the conversation, and now Tommy knew why), and Tommy had mentioned that, to him, the most romantic place in the world was Florence. 
“You did not!” He exclaimed, and Evan’s smile widened impossibly. “Evan, oh my God! Are we going to Italy?! On our anniversary?!”
“To Italy?!” Nonna was just coming down the stairs, and she smiled at them, a hand in her heart. “Dio, your husband is one in a million, Tommasino! Ah, my darling Italy, you are going to love it over there. And don’t you worry about the twins, hm? I can come here and take care of them for you”
“Nonna, that is so sweet. There’s only one problem, though” Evan told her, and Tommy’s grandmother frowned at him. “The twins won’t be here. And neither will you.”
Both Nonna and Tommy looked at Evan, and if Tommy’s assumptions were correct, he was finding out that he loved this man even more, if that was even possible. Nonna seemed to be reaching the same conclusion, because her blue eyes were filled with tears as she smiled at Tommy’s husband. 
“Evanino, you can’t really mean…” She started, and trailed off. Evan kissed Tommy’s cheek then let go of him, taking Nonna’s hands in his. 
“How would you like to visit your first home, Nonna?” He asked softly, and Nonna let out a squeal, pulling him into a surprisingly fierce hug for a little old lady. 
“Oh, my boy, the joy you are giving me!” She exclaimed, and Tommy’s heart soared. 
Of course he loved every single thing Evan did for him, and there was a lot. Preparing his favorite meal, giving him little presents here and there, and it never failed to warm Tommy’s heart. But having his husband do something for Tommy’s other favorite person in the world? 
His grandmother was right as always; Evan was one in a million, and Tommy was a damn lucky bastard. 
And the trip had been wonderful. 
They had been spending most of their time strolling around Rome, visiting touristic points and seeking out places that Nonna remembered from her childhood. But for Valentine's Day, she had all but shooed them out, insisting that she could take care of the kids and that they should ‘be young and do romance! Get out of here and I’ll take my babies to eat gelato’. 
“Well, since we’re being ceremoniously expelled by your grandmother”, Evan said, taking Tommy’s hand in his and pressing a kiss to it. “How would you feel about visiting your most romantic place in the world?’
And that's how they found themselves taking the train to Florence, just the two of them. They'd spent most of the morning just walking around, no destiny in sight, enjoying each other's company. Now they're sitting at a bench at Boboli Gardens, and Evan is resting his head on Tommy’s shoulder, and all is right with the world.
Tommy is happy, ridiculously so, and his heart is so filled with love he’s afraid it might burst (it won’t; he has feelings like these ever since he met Evan Buckley and it never burst before). 
“Thank you, Evan”, he whispers, pressing a kiss to his forehead, and Evan hums contentedly, nuzzling Tommy’s neck. “The last five years have been the best of my life”
“Mine too” He told him, his breath tickling Tommy’s skin. “I love you, Tommy. Happy Valentine’s Day.”
“Happy Valentine’s Day, amore. Ti amo”

Legacy of Manwich {1.1} King of the Wasteland
Tumblr media
Greetings and salutations, dear viewer, and welcome of the Legacy of Manwich! Talk is cheap, but our founder is RICH! Or he hopes to be. Let's meet him!
Tumblr media
This is King Mullet Martin Manwich, a nasty, lazy little fortune/family sim! I forget his LTW, what was it again?
Tumblr media
lmao ok Martin
It's been like two decades since this game came out, so I'm sure everyone by now knows what the legacy challenge entails, but if you don't, here's a refresher: You start with one sim and you make them breed for 10 generations, acquiring points and taking penalties. Now, I don't care about all that, but I did spice it up with the Noble Composure, Do It Yourself, Fearless, and Extreme Start handicaps.
Tumblr media
And here's our little slice of heaven! What was once desolate and uninhabitable is now, uh, still desolate and uninhabitable, but now King Martin lives here!
Tumblr media
Aw, very cute. You won't be smiling for long, I've seen what happens. You wanna start trying to find a wife now instead of agriculture?
Tumblr media
King Martin: "CAN'T ATTRACT A LADY WITH A FULL COLON!"
I mean, you're probably right, but the welcome wagon will be showing up any second and you don't wanna be caught with your pants down, literally.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was hoping for a flock of babes, but one babe, her mom, and Fat Meg Ryan are acceptable. What does Martin think?
Tumblr media
King Martin: "What a hottie!"
Cockblock Mom: "LIKE HELL!"
Tumblr media
Cockblock Mom: "I wouldn't touch this shrimp dick even if he paid me!"
King Martin: "But but but, I have a great personality! :("
No you don't I made you to be as sexually repulsive as possible
Tumblr media
Meg Ryan: "Don't listen to her, she's just mad her eggs are all sunny-side DRIED UP!"
King Martin: "Lol, you said it!" *plusplus*
Liking menopause jokes won't make you more attractive to women, Martin, sorry.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh? Maybe tasteless humor will get you somewhere after all!
Tumblr media
God damn it, dude, I have Humble turned off for a reason! This is staying in his inventory until a rainy day.
Tumblr media
King Martin: "Thanks, man! How about a hug?"
Meg Ryan: "STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU PASTY BITCH!"
Tumblr media
Meg Ryan: "Who does that guy think he is, trying to hug me?!"
YOU GAVE HIM A FREE COMPUTER LET HIM BE GRATEFUL
Tumblr media
King Martin: "Bragging about my non-accomplishments will definitely make him like me!"
Tumblr media
Meg Ryan: "Don't talk to me anymore, actually."
Wow Martin you are so good at making friends!
Tumblr media
That's not gonna make them like you, honey... :(
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finding a person to put up with this guy is gonna be a Herculean task.
Tumblr media
SHUT UP LADY I GET IT!
Tumblr media
Yeah, Martin? You're gonna do this now?
Cockblock Mom: "GOOD LORD I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE SHRIMP DICK!"
Tumblr media
Can't the poor man and his small package sleep in peace without being JUDGED?
Tumblr media
Keep dreaming, buddy, your track record so far is abysmal.
Tumblr media
In the morning, Martin sets to work tending his garden! He's turned on by unemployment and can't stand a lady with a job, so he's gonna have to do double-duty to keep those household funds up!
Tumblr media
King Martin: "Sigh, Romana is so dreamy..."
Who? You've never even met this person? Fuck it, we're going out! Time to find you a woman!
Tumblr media
Strip club's as good a place to start as any, right?
King Martin: "Oh boy! I'm gonna get a lap dance!"
Tumblr media
That's not... never mind, maybe being a stripper will get you laid.
Tumblr won't let me upload more images, so until next time! Will Martin's forays into sex work get him a wife? Will he befriend Meg Ryan and finally get that hug? Who the hell is Romana? Answers to these questions and more, next time on Legacy of Manwich!

delighted by the series finale of the borgias
holy shit!!!!!
FUCK!
let me start again.
the slowest burn
the slowest burn on this show was not, in fact, lucrezia/cesare—it was cesare/the papal armies. it was cesare/his father's trust. Cesare could only find himself in possession of these things at the very end because they're overwhelmingly transformative. We spent two seasons watching his brother, Juan, faff about, completely inept, unable to accomplish almost any task the pope sets for him. And then! Cesare takes command and it really is like god smiles on him and everything is suddenly possible. Suddenly, for one shining moment, it seems like the world really is ripe for the taking.
This was of course foreshadowed as far back as the first episode, when Cesare, cloaked in an archbishop's robes, steps in with a sword to easily, handily, save his brother from two random dudes he got into a fight with on the street. It's perfectly emblematic of what's to come.
Micheletto and the case of courtly love
The return of Micheletto!!!! Micheletto my love!! My darling dearest. Talk about the platonic ideal of courtly love—his devotion to Cesare, his love for Cesare, his impulse to serve him, outweighs even his hatred and his grief. To have him come back one last time, grant Cesare one last gift, one that wins him his first battle decisively? How utterly fantastic.
And of course, when Micheletto says it's over and done with and he's dead as far as anyone is concerned, Cesare lets him go. First of all, because there's no way in hell he could stop him. Second of all, because of course Cesare loves him, too. Trusts him.
One great parallel drawn is between Cesare/Micheletto and Caterina/Rufio. Two nobles who remain ennobled by their left hands of death whom they trust utterly and, apparently, love beyond anyone else. Cesare lets Micheletto go...and Caterina lets Rufio go. Gives him her blessing to go serve a new master once she's finally gone—once he ensure that she's finally gone. You could read it as Caterina searching to put a failsafe into place, to put someone in Cesare's household that can one day free her or continue to work to her ends. But honestly? I think the most Rufio will ever do for her again is slip into her rooms one night and see her dead, like she asked. A last kindness for the Lady he served his whole life.
Caterina Sforza meets her end
Caterina Sforza, my love, you were fantastic, and you lost in a spectacular fashion fitting your spectacular legend and comportment. Ten more sons! The Tigress of Forli indeed!
I thought her storyline was also tragically beset by in-universe sexism; the way those other Italian lords abandoned her cause for Cesare the second he gathered an army of his own must have burned. Certainly, it ensured there was no way for her to win. But everything she accomplished in spite of that is all the more impressive, to the very end.
It's also interesting, because as she had to deal with sexism, so too have the Borgias dealt with that classic european mix of nativism and racism, and no one else spells it out quite like Caterina does. At the very end, the second she's well and truly lost:
"Damn you, Spanish half-breed," she says to Cesare, who just prevented her from killing herself.
Her family was originally supposed to be allied with the Borgias! The Sforzas and the Borgias, bound together by Lucrezia's marriage to her first husband. But the Sforzas spurned the alliance at every turn, refusing to provide the promised military aid, and on a more personal level, allowing Giovanni to beat Lucrezia and generally treat her like shit.
Why? Because the Borgias are outsiders. Because they're a bunch of Spaniards in an Italian world, and the italians can't help but punish them for it. Why should the Sforzas keep their word to a bunch of spanish half-breeds?
Why should a bunch of italian men keep their word to an italian woman?
Caterina Sforza sits at a very neat intersection of prejudices, and I find it fascinating.
Lucrezia now firmly resides in a tragedy
There's also a fantastic comparison to be had between Cesare's love for Lucrezia and his love for Micheletto. Both of them, he would trust with power and authority—he tells his mother he misses Micheletto's counsel and skill. He tells Machiavelli he would make his sister the regent of Naples. But here lies the difference: Micheletto he would allow to walk free, to live as he chooses. Lucrezia will never, ever be afforded that privilege. Never.
"You will be naked, and clean, and bloodless again. And mine."
FUCK.
Watching him kneel at her side, as she lies next to her husband's recent bloody corpse, and try to wipe her clean...that's romance. Creepy, terrifying, devoted love. An insidious inversion of the tender care he's shown for her the whole show up to this point. He'll continue to love her, care for her and her son and her happiness, no doubt. But there can also be no doubt that Lucrezia is completely at the mercy of a much more powerful man once again.
Literally the last lines of the whole show is a creepy incestuous declaration of possession. Cesare owns Lucrezia, now. I'd be shocked, in this universe the show constructed, if she ever married again. Certainly, now that their father has given Cesare the keys to the kingdom, has decided he'll trust his first-born son with both their ambitions, I can't see him denying Cesare anything, even Lucrezia—so long as he's discrete.
I mean...the pair of them DID keep making out in front of servants and also minor lordlings who owe Cesare allegiance. It's not like it's a total secret at this point. And still, they follow him.
Poor Lucrezia. I think if Rodrigo and Cesare had literally just included her, treated her like, if not an equal, at least someone with skin in the game whom they trust, this could have turned from the tragedy it was to a triumph, for her.
Instead, she has to beg for scraps of news Rodrigo can barely give her, and grant her husband a mercy killing after her brother stabs him mortally but doesn't finish the job.
Cesare's new preoccupation with legitimacy
There's also a fantastic scene between Cesare and Vanozza, his mother. His mother, the courtesan, the whore, who offers her son her counsel, offers to ride to war with him so he has someone he can trust by his side! Something he had just finished telling her he desperately missed (Micheletto my love you are irreplaceable)
And...he turns her down.
He not only turns her down, he does so in a way that's eerily reminiscent of his dead brother, Juan. His dead brother whom he murdered.
"I would not be the son of a whore," Cesare says to his mother, the whore. Suddenly, after his father shared his dream of creating a Papal Bloodline, to be passed down to Cesare so he in turn can pass it down to his own son...suddenly, now, he begins to care about the very perceptions that eventually drove Juan to dangle his nephew over a balcony and sign his own death warrant. It is, to me, the second most chilling moment in the whole episode, after what he says to Lucrezia.
Now, Vanozza might not be trapped like her daughter, but she may soon be consigned to insignificance, without any responsibility or meaning, but also without any power. Relevant only as much as Cesare loves her or wants to see her. Which, before this episode, I would have said was quite a lot! But if he's about to descend into the same game of legitimacy and legend and perception his brother did...perhaps not so much.
Rodrigo and Cesare and the death of daddy issues
We spent three seasons watching Rodrigo dismiss and belittle and refuse to trust Cesare, but finally, in this episode, we come to see the truth: that he always meant for Cesare to succeed him in the only way that matters to him: in the church. He made him a cardinal so he could one day be pope, after him! Made him a prince of the church! But Cesare was also right to miss and lust after traditional station of power, after the dukedoms and armies he amasses after forcing his father to let him renounce his position as cardinal, because the empire they both want to build is impossible without them.
Still: to realize, with Cesare, that even though Rodrigo sees so much of himself in Cesare, he still planned from the beginning to make Cesare his true heir...what a payoff. What a relief. What a consolation for years of feelings of inadequacy! Of never being enough!
No wonder he's riding high, immortal, invincible, Cesar come again. All his daddy issues went "poof" and left him, well, clean.
All told?
In the end, having now watched all of it, I have to say the whole show was marvelous. Politics, intrigue, romance, forbidden romance, the things people do for family or for love or for both, the things they do for power, how lonely it is to sit at the pinnacle of the world. The costuming, the writing, the dialogue, it's all so compelling, and I frankly recommend it to anyone with even a passing interest in period dramas
P.S.
Contender for funniest line in the whole fucking show:
"Primogeniture is the future," the pope of rome says.
CACKLING oh my god. that's hilarious. definitely, that is a thing that will happen for the papacy and the world at large.

My Masterlist
Series Masterlist | Next Part
Tumblr media
Tango! Who the hell makes their bridesmaids and groomsmen learn an entire Tango routine for their wedding? Your best friend, of course. She and her accountant husband-to-be only have to sway on the dance floor, looking besottedly into each other's eyes. You and every other bridesmaid and groomsman in attendance will have to dance a fully choreographed routine ending in a solo song danced by the maid of honor - that’s you - and the best man.
"Tango, ladies and gentlemen, is a dance of passion." Your instructor Rodrigo's thick put-upon Spanish accent is starting to get on your nerves. So is the apathetic attitude of the Best Man. This is the fourth time you’ve met him, and he’d grunted when you reminded him of your name. Around Sophie and Greg, as well as the rest of the bridesmaids and groomsmen, he’s all smiles and genial laughter, but around you, he seems to turn into a caveman.
He’s an officer in the Navy! He should be able to make small talk. So yeah, Rooster Bradshaw, as he introduced himself to you, is indeed getting on your nerves. Sophie’s been lumping the two of you together every time you’re in the same room. You know she hopes you’ll fall in love, just like in a fairy tale - just as she and Greg did. But you’re not sure Bradshaw is the man to make that happen.
What kind of man shows up to a ballroom dance class in a Hawaiian shirt, worn jeans, and sneakers anyways? You've all been told quite strictly that the dress code was formal for these lessons. If you had to put on a dress and heels, the man could damn well have dug out a pair of slacks, dress shoes, and a polo, at the very least. Even so, he doesn't look half as out of place as you do, as you feel. With his aviators propped on his aquiline nose and a careless smile, he's got half of the bridesmaids swooning at him.
Meanwhile, you're sitting in a corner with Sophie's twin Will. He's the reason why the other groomsmen won't even look at you - him and Sophie, that is. They'd both put the fear of god into the groomsmen to stay away from you. But Rooster wasn't there when they gave that particular lecture. So he must not like you for a wholly different reason.
"You're staring, missy!" Will's whisper startles you out of your head. He's smirking at you as you turn to him, his bright blue eyes glinting mischievously in the sunlight slanting through the floor-to-ceiling windows. "If I didn't know any better, I'd assume that you liked him!"
You roll your eyes and scratch your temple with your middle finger just as your teacher finishes his lecture on the need for passion in tango. You'd normally be fascinated, but with the final dress fitting, planning the bachelor and bachelorette parties, and coordinating with the wedding planner and caterer, this dance feels like the last item on a very long list of priorities. You’re supposed to be doing this with Rooster, planning the bachelor and bachelorette parties. But he’s been deployed for months and used it as an excuse to the greatest effect on Greg and Sophie. With the extra additional load, you feel like a rubber band stretched too tight already. Add in the dance and you’re going to snap under the pressure.
“Can I have the Best Man and Maid of Honor partnered together, please?”
You ignore the chittering giggles of the bridesmaids and Will’s knowing chuckle as well as the sudden nerves that make your hands shake as you place your hand in Rooster’s own. His hand is warm and secure, the pads of his fingers calloused as they send gooseflesh prickling down your back. You’re instantly over-aware of everything about him, from the scent of his cologne to the amber sparks in his whiskey eyes.
But the minute you start dancing with him, all of the electricity in your veins at the proximity of his presence fades into pure, abject, abhorrent, hatred. He may look like sin, but the man can’t dance to save his life. He’s supposed to be leading you, but instead he seems to be jerking you around on the dance floor. You bump into his hard angular body so many times that by the time the dance is done, you feel like one enormous bruise and there is a flush rising on your cheeks. All of the other partners get praises. You and Rooster get a disappointed look and a heaving sigh. You’re not done for the day either. You and Rooster get put through the same routine over and over again until your feet ache in your pinching shoes and his half smirk has turned into a full frown.
When the others get dismissed, you and Rooster stay put, as you have to rehearse the moves for the solo dance the two of you are gifting Greg and Sophie. You have to admit that you were wrong in your earlier assumption. Rooster can dance, in fact he’s perfect when he’s leading your second instructor, Maria, around on the floor. They’re a striking couple out there on the dance floor. You do just fine with Rodrigo as well. But when you’re paired with Rooster again, it’s a train wreck to put it mildly. You bite the inside of your cheek with each stumble and each glancing blow that has you colliding with his chest.
“I’m afraid, miss and sir, this is all the time I have for you today. Please practice during the week, and we’ll see you both on Saturday morning?” You’re forced to agree to Rodrigo and Maria’s request, if only for Sophie, for wanting to give Sophie the best wedding she can have. You gather your things slowly, waiting until Maria and Rodrigo have exited the practice room before whirling around to look at Rooster again. He’s sitting on the floor with that ridiculous Hawaiian shirt off and his bare chest glistening with sweat. With his eyes closed, pink lips parted, and his dog tags resting between his pecs, he looks like a piece of art one of the greats puts on canvas. He’s also one of the sexiest men you’ve ever seen. Looking at him takes all of the fire out of your words and changes them.
“We suck at this dancing thing, huh?” You sit down next to him, proffering your water bottle to him.
“We don’t suck at the dancing thing. You danced beautifully with Rodrigo, sweetheart.” That one easy endearment spilling from his lips nearly strikes you dumb. He chugs the water greedily and it takes every bit of control you have to prevent yourself from tracing one stray droplet with your tongue as it drips down his neck. “We just suck at dancing with each other.”
“Yeah.” You’re not sure why your voice sounds so breathy.
“Maybe we should do as Rodrigo and Maria said and practice? When are you free in the evenings?” You weren’t expecting this from him, not at all. You were just about to suggest the same thing and expected it to be like pulling nails to get him to agree to your request.
“I’m free most evenings, actually. But let’s make a deal. When we meet up, it has to be half dance practice and half Bachelor and Bachelorette party planning, okay?” At his nod, you put your schedule into his phone along with his phone number. You pretend not to notice how he shrugs the shirt back on, leaving it unbuttoned to his sternum.
“Let’s meet tomorrow night at 6pm at my place? I just texted you the address. I have a house off-base with a brick patio. It would be perfect to rehearse on.” You’re a little shocked at how sweet he’s being as he walks you out of the studio with his hand at the small of your back.
“Text me what you want for dinner and from where, and I’ll bring it over?” Your smile is soft as he opens your car door for you and closes it softly once you’re belted in.
“Deal. Drive safe, sweetheart.”
You have to pinch yourself as you watch his tall form diminish in your rear view mirror. Is this the same Rooster Bradshaw who couldn’t speak two words to you every other time you’ve met him? Where was this suave, sweet man every other time you’ve interacted with him?
The enigma of Rooster Bradshaw stays with you as you shower and settle onto your couch with your sad dinner of leftovers. That is, of course, when your phone rings.
“Hey Sophie!” You’re always happy to talk to your best friend.
“Hey! So Melissa called. She said that you and Bradley were a train wreck today during your tango lessons?” Your sigh is soft as you tell your best friend the whole story.
“God, sweetheart, that sounds rough. If you really can’t get along with him, you don’t have to do the dance just to make me happy.” This is why Sophie is your best friend ever. Your happiness matters just as much as her own. She’s not happy, though, when you tell her that.
“We’ll be fine, Soph. I’m going to his place tomorrow night to practice.” You have to pull the phone away from your ears at the decibel level her piercing squeal hits and let your best friend’s joy wash your bad mood away. When you fall asleep that night, it’s with a clear resolve to make sure this dance goes better. You just have to think of Sophie's face shining with happiness at one of her wedding gifts, right?
Your resolve is flagging just a little when you pull into Rooster Bradshaw’s driveway at 5:50 PM sharp the next day, though. It’s been a day from hell. You’d woken up late and had to rush to work. Not to mention how you’d been running from meeting to meeting all day either. Dancing isn’t even on your list for the night, which has in particular order, a shower, food and sleep. But you’d promised and you don’t welch out on your responsibilities.
Rooster doesn’t look any better than you do when he opens the door and lets you in. His house is different from what you expected. It doesn’t look like a bachelor’s place at all. There are pictures all over the walls with a man who looks just like him and a gorgeous blonde woman and a little boy. You recognize that little boy as Rooster the further into the house you walk. You can track every moment of his life on these walls.
“Your house is great.” You trace your fingers lightly over one of the frames, straightening it.
“Thanks. My mom left it to me when she passed away. It’s pretty much the same as when she left it.” His words make you feel like shit for thinking all of the unflattering things about him that you have been.
“It feels like a home.” His eyes are misty when you meet them, and you busy yourself with pulling the food out of the tote bag you’d had the restaurant pack it in.
“I grabbed dinner from that place you suggested. I’ve never been but I know that I’m going to have to go there again. It smelled so good when I walked in.” Your voice is light as you fold the bag up.
“Here are the plates. Would you like a glass of wine?” At your nod, he grabs the bottle off of the counter and pours you a healthy glass.
“Let’s eat out on the patio?” At your nod, he’s quick to grab the plates and lead the way. All you’re holding is the cutlery, and the glasses of wine.
Rooster’s backyard is gorgeous. There are small lights strung over the fence and as the ground slopes downwards, you can see the beach and the blue of the sea close enough to touch.
“It’s beautiful out here.” Your words make him flush, just a little as he sets the plates down and grabs the glasses from you.
“Thanks. This yard is why my mom had my dad buy this house.” His smile is soft and fond as he takes in the salty sea air and beautiful view.
“You sound like you were happy here with them.”
“Yeah, I was. But for too short a time.” He pulls your chair out for you before taking his own seat.
“So, about this dance. I figure that we can’t dance with each other because we don’t know each other. So why don’t we take this week to get to know one another in addition to practicing?” His words take you slightly unawares as you nibble on the piece of garlic bread on your plate.
“Okay. So what do you want to know about me?” Maybe you shouldn’t have asked that question.
“How did you meet Sophie?” That’s a question you’re only too happy to answer.
“Why, Rooster? Your parents can’t have named you that.” His smile is more smirk as he explains that his first name is Bradley and that his callsign is Rooster.
It seems like time passes in a blink. When you check your phone, you see that it’s already 8 o’clock and your plates are empty in front of you.
“Maybe we should actually practice, now?” You’re smiling as you say the words, a smile that’s mirrored on his face.
This time, the electricity dancing through your veins magnifies when Rooster takes your hand in his. Each touch of your body to his makes your body sing as you move through the routine near perfectly. You run through the routine four times, getting used to each other as you do so.
“That’s not so bad, now, is it?” His voice sounds like whiskey feels dripping warm down your throat.
“No, that wasn’t bad at all. You’re not a half bad dancer, Bradley.” His eyes keep glancing between yours and your lips.
“Nor are you, sweetheart.” You can feel the heat of his breath across your lips and that’s what makes you snap.
You kiss him before you know what you’re doing, your lips crashing against his with a force you never knew you were capable of. It’s wet and filthy, each brush of his lips against yours sending your heart rate sky-rocketing. His tongue finds its way into your mouth as you unbutton the floral shirt covering his broad shoulders. He tastes like sweet tomatoes and wine, with herby basil and something that you can’t place. When he pulls away, his lips are spit-slicked and you’ve succeeded in undoing every button on his shirt but one. The sight has a needy moan spilling out from between your lips.
“Baby. Sweetheart. We can’t do this. We barely know each other.” You just tug him in closer, kissing his cheek and neck as you sway to the beat of the song still playing in the background.
“We can get to know each other better, Bradley. Unless there’s someone else?” You’re poking a little, but you haven’t felt this good in a man’s arms in your whole life.
“There’s nobody else. But our priority has to be Greg and Sophie right now. So why don’t you go sit down and I’ll bring you a glass of water? Then we can discuss the bachelor and bachelorette parties?” Your pout must be a thing to behold because Bradley’s eyes twinkle with the force of his laughter as he pecks your lips one more time. “I promise I’ll kiss you goodnight?”
You’re as good as gold the rest of the night, arousal simmering under your skin at every innocent touch. It doesn’t take very long at all to decide what you’re doing for the combined bachelor and bachelorette parties. So you’re expectant as you stand by the open door of your car for your goodnight kiss a couple of hours later.
“Goodnight, sweetheart.” Your goodnight kiss is sweet yet full of a filthy promise as he cups your ass in his big hands and tugs you in until you’re pressed against his chest.
“Goodnight.” You’re smiling like a silly fool the whole way home. If you make yourself cum on your fingers at the scent of Bradley Bradshaw on your skin while lying in your bed that night, he’s the only person who’ll know, especially since you called him yourself. His resulting moan as he spilled over his fingers is something you’re not sure you’ll forget anytime soon.

Ar-Pharazôn, the Golden King and Sauron/Zigûr, The Wizard...
[Fanfic half-joking, half-serious. Featuring: The proudest of human Kings; Ar-Pharazôn and "Sauron"/Zigûr].
***
Meanwhile in Numenor...a "conversation" is taking place on golden couches.
Tumblr media
Sauron/Zigûr the Wizard:
- My Ar-Pharazon the Golden, my one and only King of the world...Glowworm, what a nice beard you have, can I pull it? Just kidding. We don't want to destroy its perfect symmetry. It would be an unforgivable crime. Just listen to me...What would you say to such a family!ghosting, as mine uses?
- Why do you ask, if you know very well that my wife doesn't even sleep with me?
- Oh yes, yes,...I forgot. She's not sleeping with you, because she's sleeping with me. 🤭
Ooooh, WHAT A FACE YOU'VE GOT, I WAS JUST KIDDING, BRO! Of course Miriel is sleeping with that annoying Elendil...I mean, he was pretty cool at first. I even liked him. In the end, he took me and my blonde Lady off that stupid raft on that stupid sea. And I was really grateful to him for that. I even saved his ass out of gratitude, when one of the orcs tried to chop Elendil's head off, I speared him.
I sometimes like throwing sharp objects at moving targets, you know? It's a sport. But today I wonder if it wasn't something stupid? If it wasn't my mistake? At the time I thought I was doing the right thing; Elendil seemed like such a cool guy...For a Numenorean, of course, hehe. He was nice to me, and I didn't want Queen Miriel to be sad if he died, because she likes him a lot. And I like your wife a lot. After all, she legitimized me as King of the Southlanders. It was very sweet...
And I liked everyone there then, I even drank wine with them, just like I'm drinking with you now.
Your wife is sweet, wise and beautiful. I envy you...
Or maybe Elendil's. Yeah...Miriel loves him so much. I tell you something, in secret, but you wouldn't remember it. Your wife first put me in your jail. [It is nice and comfortable place, really. I was in far worse...] And then she gaved me very nice job in the forge. And then she gaved me soldiers...And the Crown of the Southlands. With a big smile on her beautiful face!
There is no woman on the Earth who would give a man the Crown; with her own hands, if she doesn't love him, you know?
Miriel loves me, too, you know. Not just Elendil. It's possible to love more than just one person in the same time. I can love few persons at once all the time! It's quite easy. For example...I still loved my uncle Melko when I fall in love with my Adar. [And he loved orcs, in the same time, not just me.] I still loved my Melko and Adar when I fall in love with my Lady Galadriel. She still loves her husband, sadly. But happily, she loves me too, even if she is trying to deny it, and insist she has only the biggest hate for me. My Sweet, little Liar. I adore her so much! And I adore Miriel, too...[You will not remember any of this words, you got it? Cool.]
Anyway...to the brim, Ar-Pharazôn! I should talk about my father & family..
I write emails, send registered letters; I call the old man, but he, the Big Bastard, never answers. I've been getting returns to sender for about 63,000 years. I think it's time to face the truth. My father died. God died, he's dead. For a long time I was sure that it was impossible. That Ilúvatar was eternal, absolute. I believed in all that nonsense about the omnipotent, eternal Infinite God; blah blah blah. But I can't deny the facts. If there's been no response from Him for so long, it means the Old Man kicked the bucket.
Because...you wouldn't have spoken to your supposedly beloved child, your "Stink" for so long? What's your human puppy's name? No, wait. Let me just remember it myself. Remember all those damn names, I can barely remember mine; because I've had a ton of them. Kemen? Do I remember him correctly?
Can you imagine not talking to Kemen for years? Tens? Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?!
My father named me Admirable, and so what? NOTHING!
And yet he's as pissed off at me as you could possibly imagine...Or He is dead. Definitely.
IDGAF.
It's hard to say, but life goes on. The rest of my family must have died too, because I haven't seen or heard anything from them. Apart from my cousin Eonwë, who once dressed up as an old man and got in my way...He thought I was some kind of idiot and wouldn't recognize him. I looked the idiot up and down, telling him with my eyes how embarrassing and weak his cosplay was. You could see he's new to this stuff, a nub. Everyone will soon realize it's a bluff. "Don't embarrass yourself. Don't teach your father how to make children, Eonwë". Of course, he spoke to me in code, so I spoke to him in code, too. I won't talk to him normally. He came to me after such a long absence and what does he want? Should I cuddle him or what? He got crazy i suppose. But okay. I pretended to believe in his bullshit, and he pretended to believe in mine. You know how it is, with us divine beings, sometimes you have to play a little, pull some tricks. Make a show.
And so I went with him to that falling apart boat. Although after half a year I had had enough of his optimistic, naive, level 5000 bullshit.
"You can choose your path at any time. Decide whether to do good or bad. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO ACT GOOD." Said the guy who spent his entire life behind the stove at Iluvatar's. In Valinor. The land of eternal happiness. Safe as a baby; laying on a lounger, sipping Sex on the beach!drinks with little umbrella... The guy has been living in his heavenly-paradise bubble for tens of thousands of years; and he'll be here spouting off his bullshit. He's been wandering around that hell called Arda for half a year, and he already wants to be an expert!
As if the biggest son of a b**** who came from Father's mind had held him in his fist for as many thousands of years as me; the sly one could say "what he would do in my place".
It was impossible to listen to this.
I had so strong urge to hit him by the elbow, it was hanging by a tiny thread. It was hanging in the air... Just a moment; and I would have kick his ass, I swear to you on my Uncle Melko.
I still have a little patience, but not too much. If you were as old as me, living on the Eä for such a long time; you wouldn't have patience for all this shit either...
Fortunately, the water helped me and Eonwë sailed. My conscience began to gnaw at me that I had left him like that...Can you imagine?! After all, he was trying to be nice... No sense. I must have hit myself in the head when Manwë's fish attacked us. Never mind...
Besides, nothing will happen to my cousin anyway. Eonwë is truly immortal, like me. And he always listened to the rest of the holy family, unlike me, hehe. He'll sit in Mandos' Hall for a while, and then he'll be roaming the meadows of Valinor again, carefree, sipping drinks on a lounger.
I curse him. And my entire holy family of the Valar. Just like they first cursed me.
Fortunately, I still have contact with my favorite uncle Morgoth, the only sensible Valar I know. I mean, he used to be a terrible son of a b****. When he spanked me, I make a bad face; because his paw is the size of two gates to your city put together, do you understand me? It wasn't pleasant then, but it was bearable.
In any case, Uncle Morgoth is the only person in the family who care about me, in his own...special way. [And about the world, by the way...] Who talks to me, and likes to check on me and how I'm doing. When I was starving [my family do this to meee!], he would send me worms to eat, or even a better piece of meat; so that I could regenerate after my stay in an extra-high-security prison. You see, there wasn't even a canteen there. No window to the world. Zero null. Of course, it was also the production plant of my fucked-up Valar family. They didn't even give me food. For 3,000 years. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Are they even normal?! F*ck them.
And Uncle Melkor, as he was, was what he was, but at least he takes care of me as best as he can. He gives me true immortality, do you get it? The kind where you never die; even if they kill you, you come back. It's true that it's a bit of work to put yourself together, but it's better than nothing, right? If you want, I'll call to him and ask, if he can whip you up some spare immortality too.
Cause You're a really nice guy, Pharazon. I'd even say...divine. You have welcomed me nicely and in my opinion you deserve eternal life. Who, if not you, from all people?
- But... The Elves of the West say that immortality is only for them, and for the Maiar and the Valar.
- "Pff, THE ELVES OF THE WEST SAY..." Who, which elves? You know how it is with them. They are trying to be so smart-ass... And the truth is that most of the Elves of the West have never given a damn and seen shit. I am telling you from my own experience, with my hand on my heart, how it is. I slept in the same bed with Melkor, as with you. I know everything about him, how much he can do. I saw him perform miracles, that you could never have dreamed of.
And now you share everything you have with me. Including your wife...Oh no, I took her myself...Ha, I'm kidding! I got you! You always fall for it. Very nice of you. Very nice. You are generous, you are a decent guy. I don't know why people are complaining about you. You deserve a gift too. I like giving gifts too, it can be quite nice. Giving and receiving... Immortality will be just the right gift for you. You deserve it.
Oh boy...Wait a minute. I'll call Uncle Melkor right away, so we can pinch ourselves in vain. Give me that stupid Palantir, I'll wave it back and forth a bit. I'll try to get a signal, because sometimes it's quite a problem...Why doesn't anything work properly here on this cursed Arda...
The Timeless Void lies quite far away; basically beyond the world, haha. No way.
- Sau...
- Excuse me?
- I wanted to say, Venerable Wizard Zigur... aren't you a bit tipsy?
- No, not at all... My Pharazôn, the Golden King. What's up with those two gallons of unfaithul blood? Or okay...Give me some typical juice, because I'm actually feeling nauseous. I think I'll puke.
How I hate this earthly climate. Everything is so heavy... Sometimes it's almost impossible to breathe. It's a good thing I don't have to, as a rule.
I like our conversations, you know, Ar-Pharazôn? They can be quite inspiring.
- What conversations, Wizard? You didn't let me get a word in.
- Forgive me. I simply guess what you're going to say before you open your mouth; and I never miss. What new thing can you bring to the conversation when I know absolutely everything about you? Including the size of your socks, boxers, and the state of your treasury?
- What's right is right.
- Let's drink another glass of red wine instead. Maybe Uncle Melko will respond in the meantime. Cheers!
