Second Chance - Steve Rogers x Reader
Summary: Steve tried to get you back, but it's not always easy to gain back the trust one loses.
Pairing: Steve Rogers x F!Reader
Warning: Angsts, like kind of a lot of it, injured character, but nobody dies. A bit of fluff with a happy ending.
Words: 9 224
AN: So, sweet anon asked about part two of Enough is Enough, and well, why the hell no :) I feel like shit (being sick isn't fun), so apologies x4 for any mistakes. My brain isn't braining...
Steve didnât give up.
Steveâs first apology came in the form of flowers.
They arrived at the coffee shop just as you were opening. A delivery driver handed you the bouquetâa lush arrangement of white roses and babyâs breath, wrapped in soft tissue paper. For a moment, you just stared at them, the scent of fresh blossoms mingling with the familiar aroma of coffee beans. The card nestled within the bouquet bore only three words: Iâm so sorry.
Your chest tightened. You didnât have to wonder who sent them.
âWhoâs the secret admirer?â your coworker teased, grinning as she wiped down the counter.
You didnât answer. Instead, you set the bouquet aside, trying to push down the lump rising in your throat. It was a beautiful gestureâone you might have cherished onceâbut now it felt hollow.
The flowers kept coming. Every morning, a new arrangement would appear. Daisies, tulips, sunflowers. Each accompanied by a note in Steveâs handwriting: I miss you. I love you. Let me fix this.
You didnât know how to feel. Part of you wanted to believe him, to give him the chance to make things right. But another part of youâthe part still raw and achingârefused.
Then he started showing up.
The first time, you nearly dropped the coffee pot in your hand. He stood outside the shop, leaning against the lamppost with his hands tucked into his jacket pockets. He looked differentâtired, almost haunted, as though the weight of your absence was something physical he carried with him.
You ignored him, focusing on your customers, but you could feel his presence like a shadow just beyond the glass. When you finally closed the shop, he was still there.
He said your name softly as you stepped outside, his voice barely above a whisper.
You didnât stop walking.
âPlease,â he called after you, his tone desperate. âJust give me a chance to talk.â
You turned back, your jaw clenched. âWhy now, Steve? Why couldnât you talk to me when it mattered?â
His face crumpled, and for a brief moment, you felt a pang of guilt. But you shook it off and kept walking.
It didnât deter him. Steve came back the next day, and the day after that, always waiting silently as you worked. It wasnât until a week later that you finally confronted him.
âWhat do you want from me, Steve?â you demanded, your voice sharper than you intended.
His blue eyes searched yours, filled with a vulnerability you hadnât seen in months. âI want to make this right,â he said, his voice breaking. âI love you. I never stopped. And Iâll do whatever it takes to prove it to you.â
You stared at him, your chest tightening with conflicting emotions. He looked so sincere, so heartbroken, that for a moment, you almost believed him. Almost.
âItâs too late,â you said finally, your voice barely audible. âYou canât fix this. I donât trust you anymore.â
The pain in his eyes was like a physical blow, but you didnât let it show. You turned and walked away, leaving him standing there, defeated.
But the truth was, you werenât as strong as you seemed. Every step away from him felt like ripping a piece of yourself apart. By the time you got home, you were shaking, tears streaming down your face as you collapsed onto the couch.
You loved him. God, you still loved him. But love wasnât enough anymore.
***
The days blurred together after that.
You went through the motions of your lifeâopening the coffee shop each morning, smiling at customers, making small talk with your coworkersâbut it all felt mechanical, like a script you had memorized long ago. The warmth and joy that once fueled you were gone, replaced by an empty numbness you couldnât seem to shake.
Nights were the worst.
Sleep eluded you, no matter how many hours you spent staring at the ceiling or tossing and turning under your blankets. The bed felt too big, too cold without him there. You hated yourself for missing him, for craving the comfort of his arms even after everything heâd done. But the longing wasnât something you could control.
It wasnât just the nights, though. Little things kept sneaking up on you, tearing at the fragile stitches holding you together.
The sight of his favorite mug on your kitchen counter. The book heâd borrowed but never finished, still sitting on your nightstand. The faint scent of his cologne that lingered on your favorite sweater, no matter how many times you washed it.
You tried to distract yourself, but nothing worked. Books, once your solace, couldnât hold your attention. The words blurred together, and youâd find yourself reading the same sentence over and over without absorbing a single word.
Your friends noticed.
âYou need to eat more,â one of them said during a group dinner youâd been forced to attend. She pushed a plate of pasta toward you, her brow furrowed with concern. âYou look like youâve lost weight.â
âIâm fine,â you lied, picking at the food with a fork.
Kat wasnât buying it. She leaned across the table, her sharp blue eyes cutting through your defenses. âYouâre not fine. And weâre not going to pretend otherwise.â
Her words hit harder than you expected, and you had to blink back the sting of tears.
Steveâs friends noticed too. Sam popped into the coffee shop one morning, leaning casually against the counter as you took his order.
âYouâre not sleeping,â he said matter-of-factly, his tone laced with concern.
You forced a smile, trying to keep your voice light. âBusy days, you know how it is.â
He didnât press you further, but the look he gave you lingered long after he left.
***
The worst was when Steve came back.
It was late in the evening, just before closing, when he walked into the shop. You froze behind the counter, your heart leaping into your throat at the sight of him.
He looked just as broken as you felt. There were dark circles under his eyes, and his hair was mussed like heâd been running his hands through it in frustration. He lingered near the entrance, as if unsure whether he was welcome.
âHi,â he said softly, his voice hesitant.
You gripped the edge of the counter, steadying yourself. âWeâre about to close.â
âI know,â he said, his hands fidgeting nervously at his sides. âI just⌠I wanted to see you.â
You turned away, pretending to busy yourself with cleaning up. âYou shouldnât be here, Steve.â
âPlease,â he said, stepping closer. âJust give me five minutes. Thatâs all Iâm asking.â
You shook your head, your chest tightening painfully. âWhy are you doing this?â
âBecause I love you,â he said, his voice breaking. âAnd because I canât stand knowing I hurt you like this.â
His words cracked something inside you, but you couldnât let him see it. âYou need to leave,â you said firmly, refusing to meet his eyes.
For a moment, he hesitated, as if hoping you might change your mind. But when you didnât, he nodded, his shoulders sagging with defeat.
âOkay,â he said quietly, his voice barely audible. âIâm sorry.â
You watched him go, the sound of the door closing behind him echoing in the empty shop. And then you broke.
You sank to the floor, tears streaming down your face as the weight of your grief crushed you.
You loved him. God, you still loved him.
But you didnât know how to let yourself forgive him.
***
You didnât expect to find Bucky Barnes on your doorstep.
It was a gray Saturday morning, and the porch floor creaked under your weight as you aimlessly swept away fallen leaves. When you opened the door and saw him standing there, his hands shoved into his jacket pockets and his blue-gray eyes watching you carefully, you froze.
âBucky?â
âHey,â he said, his tone casual, though his expression betrayed a flicker of hesitation. âMind if I come in?â
You hesitated. This was Steveâs best friend. Seeing him felt like reopening wounds that youâd been trying desperately to let heal. But there was no judgment in his gaze, no pressureâjust concern. So, with a heavy sigh, you stepped aside and gestured for him to enter.
He stepped into the living room, glancing around like he was cataloging the space. You folded your arms, standing stiffly near the doorway. âWhat are you doing here?â
âNice to see you too, doll,â he teased, his lips quirking into a faint smirk.
âBucky,â you said, your voice sharper now. âWhy are you here?â
He sighed, the smirk fading. âI wanted to check on you.â
âYou donât have to do that,â you said quickly. âIâm not with Steve anymore. Thereâs no obligation.â
He raised an eyebrow, his head tilting slightly as he leaned against the back of your couch. âObligation? Thatâs not why Iâm here, sweetheart. Youâre my friend too. And whether or not youâre with Steve doesnât change that.â
The softness in his tone made something crack inside you. You wanted to argue, to brush him off, but instead, you felt your defenses falter.
âBesides,â he continued with a wry grin, âsomeoneâs gotta make sure you know not all men are idiots. Steve might be an amazing guy, but even amazing guys screw up sometimes.â
That last sentence hit you like a slap. You felt the tears coming before you could stop them, your vision blurring as all the emotions youâd been bottling up threatened to spill over. You turned away, trying to pull yourself together, but Bucky wasnât having it.
âHey,â he said gently, stepping closer. âTalk to me.â
That was all it took for the dam to break.
âI donât know how to stop loving him,â you blurted, your voice trembling as the words spilled out in a rush.
Bucky froze, his expression softening as he watched the tears stream down your face. You sank onto the couch, your shoulders shaking, and he followed, sitting beside you without a word.
âI hate him for what he did,â you continued, your voice cracking. âI hate that he made me feel like I didnât matter, like I was just⌠there. And now? Now heâs trying to fix it, like Iâm supposed to just forget everything and let him back in.â
Bucky listened silently, his hands clasped together as you poured your heart out.
âIt feels like a slap in the face,â you said, your chest heaving with each breath. âLike he thinks flowers and apologies will erase months of feeling invisible. I hate him for that. But more than anything, I hate that I still love him.â
You buried your face in your hands, your voice muffled as you added, âI donât want to love him anymore. I want it to stop, Bucky. I want it all to stop.â
The room was quiet for a long moment. Then, Bucky sighed, leaning forward with his elbows resting on his knees.
âDoll,â he said softly, âI know it doesnât feel like it right now, but loving him isnât something to hate yourself for. Steve⌠heâs a complicated guy. He doesnât always get things right, but I promise you, he loves you. More than you know.â
You shook your head, your voice shaking. âIf he loved me so much, why did he treat me like that? Why did he make me feel like I didnât matter?â
Bucky ran a hand through his hair, his jaw tightening. âYouâre right. He screwed up. Big time. But⌠heâs been carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders for years. It doesnât excuse how he hurt you, but Iâve seen him lately, and heâs a wreck without you.â
Your eyes flicked up to meet his, your tears blurring the intensity in his gaze.
âHeâs not good at showing it,â Bucky continued, âbut heâs an amazing guy. Iâve known him my whole life, and Iâve seen him at his best and his worst. And I know heâll never stop trying to make this right. The question is⌠would you ever let him? What would it take for you to let him back in?â
The weight of his words settled over you, heavy and unrelenting. You didnât answer right away, your fingers gripping the hem of your shirt as you stared down at the floor.
âI donât know,â you whispered finally. âI donât know if I can. Itâs like⌠every time I see him, I remember how much it hurt. And even if I wanted to try again, I donât know if Iâd ever trust him not to hurt me like that again.â
Bucky reached out, his hand resting lightly on your shoulder. âYou donât have to decide anything right now,â he said gently. âBut whatever you choose, just know this: you deserve to be happy, sweetheart. Whether thatâs with Steve or without him.â
You looked at him, searching his face for any trace of pity or judgment, but there was none. Just quiet understanding and unwavering support.
When he finally stood to leave, he gave you a small smile. âYouâre stronger than you think,â he said, his voice steady. âAnd no matter what happens, Iâm here. Steve or no Steve.â
You watched him go, his words echoing in your mind long after the door closed.
And for the first time in weeks, you allowed yourself to wonder if maybeâjust maybeâyou could find a way forward.
***
The compound gym was almost empty, save for the quiet hum of machinery and the dull thud of fists meeting a punching bag. Steve Rogers stood at the far end of the room, his knuckles raw and his breathing ragged. Heâd been at it for hours, his frustration and grief pouring into every swing, every strike. The bag swayed violently under the force of his hits, the chain creaking with each impact.
âYou keep that up, and youâll be patching the damn thing again,â Buckyâs voice rang out, casual and dry as ever, though the concern in it was unmistakable.
Steve paused mid-swing, the tension in his shoulders easing only slightly as he turned to see his best friend leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed. Buckyâs expression was unreadable, but his eyes betrayed a softness Steve wasnât sure he deserved.
âWhat are you doing here?â Steve asked, his voice hoarse from hours of exertion.
âFigured Iâd find you here,â Bucky replied, stepping into the gym. âThought maybe youâd stop using that bag like it owes you money and actually talk to me.â
Steve sighed, wiping sweat from his brow with the back of his hand. âNot in the mood, Buck.â
âWell, tough,â Bucky shot back, grabbing a folding chair and dragging it noisily across the floor. He plopped it down unceremoniously a few feet away from Steve, crossing one ankle over his knee. âBecause I just came from seeing her.â
The color drained from Steveâs face. He froze, his fists still clenched at his sides. âYou⌠you saw her?â
âYeah,â Bucky said evenly, watching his friendâs reaction carefully. âShe didnât slam the door in my face, so Iâd say Iâm doing better than you.â
Steve flinched, the weight of Buckyâs words hitting him like a punch to the gut. He turned away, his hands gripping the edges of the punching bag as he tried to steady himself. âHow⌠how is she?â
Bucky hesitated. Heâd seen the raw pain in your eyes, the tears you tried to hide, and he knew Steve wasnât ready for the truth. But lying wouldnât help either.
âSheâs a mess, Steve,â Bucky said softly. âBut you already knew that, didnât you?â
Steve let out a shaky breath, his head hanging low. âI did this to her,â he said, his voice barely above a whisper. âI pushed her away, made her feel like she wasnât enough. And now⌠now I donât know how to fix it.â
Bucky stood, closing the distance between them. âSteve, look at me.â
Reluctantly, Steve turned, his eyes red and tired.
âShe still loves you,â Bucky said firmly, his voice steady. âBut sheâs hurt, and sheâs angry. And you canât expect her to just forget all that because youâre showing up with flowers and apologies.â
âI know that,â Steve snapped, his voice breaking. âGod, Buck, I know. But what else can I do? Every time I see her, itâs like sheâs slipping further away, and I donât know how to reach her anymore.â
Buckyâs gaze softened, and he placed a hand on Steveâs shoulder. âYou start by understanding that this isnât about fixing things overnight. Itâs about showing her that youâre willing to put in the work, no matter how long it takes. That youâre not just sorryâyouâre ready to be better.â
Steve nodded, though the despair in his eyes didnât fade. âShe said she doesnât trust me anymore.â
âThen earn it back,â Bucky said simply. âShow her that youâre not the same guy who hurt her. And for Godâs sake, stop treating this like a battle you can win with brute force. Youâre not fighting Hydra here, Steve. Youâre fighting for her.â
Steveâs shoulders sagged, his head dropping into his hands. âI donât even know if she wants me to try.â
Bucky crouched slightly, meeting Steveâs gaze head-on. âI asked her,â he said quietly.
Steveâs head shot up, his blue eyes wide. âWhat? What did she say?â
âShe doesnât know,â Bucky admitted. âSheâs scared, Steve. Scared that if she lets you back in, youâll hurt her again. And honestly? I donât blame her.â
The words hit Steve like a blow, but he didnât argue. He knew Bucky was right.
âShe told me something else too,â Bucky continued, his voice softer now. âShe said she doesnât know how to stop loving you. And itâs killing her.â
Steveâs breath caught, his chest tightening painfully. âShe⌠she said that?â
Bucky nodded. âYeah. She loves you, Steve. But love isnât enoughânot after what you put her through. You have to show her that youâre not just saying the right things. You have to be the right man for her. The man she fell in love with.â
Steve closed his eyes, his mind racing with memories of youâthe way you used to laugh, the way youâd look at him like he was your whole world. Heâd taken that for granted, and now he wasnât sure if heâd ever get it back.
âWhat if I canât?â he whispered, his voice breaking. âWhat if Iâve already lost her?â
Buckyâs grip on his shoulder tightened. âYou donât get to give up, punk. Not on her, and not on yourself. You want her back? Then fight for her. And donât stop until youâve shown her that sheâs worth everything.â
Steve swallowed hard, his throat tight with emotion. âHow? How do I even start?â
Bucky gave him a small, knowing smile. âStart by listening. By showing upânot just for her, but for the life she wants. Show her that sheâs not a convenience, Steve. Sheâs the center of it all.â
Steve nodded slowly, the weight of Buckyâs words sinking in. He didnât know if it would be enough, but he knew one thing for certain: he couldnât give up on you. Not now. Not ever.
âThanks, Buck,â Steve said quietly, his voice rough but sincere.
Bucky grinned, clapping him on the back. âDonât thank me yet. Youâve got a hell of a road ahead of you.â
Steve nodded, determination flickering in his tired eyes. He didnât know how long it would take or if heâd even succeed, but for you, heâd move mountains.
Because losing you wasnât an option. And heâd spend the rest of his life proving it if thatâs what it took.
***
Steve left the gym after his conversation with Bucky feeling drained but determined. His best friendâs words weighed on him, both a reminder of the man he wanted to be and the man he hadnât been for you. He knew Bucky was rightâthis wasnât a fight he could win with brute force or a quick apology. It would take time, patience, and a quiet kind of devotion that heâd never had to show before.
He didnât expect you to forgive him overnight. He didnât even expect you to notice what he was doing right away. But he had to start somewhere.
***
It was early morning when Steve pushed open the door to your coffee shop.
The familiar bell jingled above him, the sound stirring memories of quieter, happier times. You were behind the counter, moving with practiced ease as you worked the espresso machine. You didnât see him at first, but when you turned, your eyes locked, and Steve felt the air shift.
âMorning,â he said, his voice soft, careful not to disrupt the fragile peace of the moment.
You blinked, your expression guarded. âMorning.â
âIâm here for coffee,â he said, stepping forward. âFor the team.â
Your brow furrowed, skeptical. âThe team sent you?â
He hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. âNot exactly. Thought Iâd take my turn.â
You didnât reply, but you turned back to the espresso machine, the hum of it filling the silence. Steve watched you work, his hands tucked into his jacket pockets, and for a moment, he was struck by how natural this scene felt, even with the tension between you.
When you handed him the tray of drinks, your fingers brushed his briefly, and he saw the faintest flicker of something in your eyesâsurprise, maybe, or something softer.
âThanks,â he said, his voice warm but careful.
You didnât answer, but you nodded, and he left without lingering, the bell jingling softly as the door swung shut behind him.
*
The next time he came, it was quieter. Midmorning, after the breakfast rush had died down, Steve appeared with a small brown paper bag in hand.
You were cleaning the counter, lost in thought, when his voice broke through the silence.
âYou forget to eat when youâre busy,â he said simply, placing the bag on the counter.
You looked up, startled. âSteveâŚâ
âItâs just breakfast,â he said, holding up a hand to forestall your protests. âNothing more. Just thought you might need it.â
You hesitated, the words you wanted to say caught somewhere in your throat. Slowly, you opened the bag, the warm scent of eggs and bacon wafting up to meet you.
âFrom that diner you like,â he added, his lips curving into a faint smile. âFigured it was better than you skipping meals.â
You stared at the bag for a long moment before meeting his eyes. âYou didnât have to do this.â
âI know,â he said simply. âBut I wanted to.â
He didnât stay long, didnât push for conversation. He just gave you a small nod and left, leaving you with breakfast and a strange, lingering warmth in your chest.
*
Natasha was relentless when it came to her movie nights, and somehow, you found yourself at the Tower despite your protests. The room was cozy, filled with the low murmur of conversation and the scent of popcorn. You settled into one corner of the couch, trying to ignore the way Steveâs presence tugged at the edges of your awareness.
When the opening credits began to roll, Steve appeared beside you, holding something in his hands.
âHere,â he said quietly, offering you a pair of thick woolen socks.
You frowned, confused. âWhatâs this?â
âYour feet get cold,â he said simply, as though it was the most natural thing in the world.
You stared at him, your chest tightening, before reluctantly taking the socks. âThanks,â you muttered, slipping them on.
He didnât linger, didnât push for more. But later, when the movie reached its tense climax, he handed you a steaming mug of hot chocolateârich, creamy, with just the right amount of cinnamon.
âYou donât have toââ you started, but he cut you off with a small, knowing smile.
âYou love hot chocolate after horror movies,â he said, his tone soft. âFigured you might want some.â
You took the mug, the warmth seeping into your hands, and for the first time that night, you let yourself relax.
*
The envelope was waiting for you in your mailbox, unassuming but carefully placed. Inside was a single ticket to the sold-out Broadway show youâd mentioned to Sam weeks ago.
The note tucked inside was brief, written in Steveâs familiar handwriting: Thought youâd like this. Hope itâs as good as you imagined.
You stared at the ticket for a long time, your heart aching with a mixture of gratitude and frustration. He remembered. Of course, he remembered.
You told yourself it didnât matter, that it was just a kind gesture, but deep down, it chipped away at the walls youâd built around your heart.
*
The night your car broke down was cold and quiet, the kind of night that made the world feel vast and lonely. You sat in the driverâs seat, staring at the lifeless dashboard, your breath fogging up the glass as you fought the urge to cry.
You tried calling a few friends, but no one answered. Finally, with trembling fingers, you dialed the one number you swore you wouldnât.
âSweetheart?â Steveâs voice came through the line, steady and concerned.
âMy car wonât start,â you said softly, ignoring the pet name, hating how small your voice sounded.
âWhere are you?â
You told him, and he didnât hesitate. âStay there. Iâm on my way.â
When his truck pulled up beside you, he climbed out without a word, his breath misting in the cold air as he checked under your hood. His movements were sure and efficient, his presence steadying.
âAlternatorâs shot,â he said finally, closing the hood. âIâll take you home.â
You hesitated, your pride warring with your gratitude, but the freezing air made the decision for you.
The drive was quiet, the heater humming softly as Steve navigated the empty streets. He didnât pry, didnât try to fill the silence with unnecessary words. He just⌠drove.
When you woke up the next morning, your car was back in its usual spot. The engine purred like new when you started it, and a small note was taped to the dashboard: Shouldnât give you trouble anymore. Call me if it does.
*
Each gesture was small, unassuming. Steve never pushed, never demanded more than you were willing to give. He just⌠showed up, quietly and consistently, letting his actions speak louder than words ever could.
And slowly, despite yourself, you began to notice.
***
Three months had passed since the breakup.
You wouldnât say things had gone back to normalâfar from itâbut something had undeniably shifted between you and Steve. His quiet persistence, the way he showed up without pushing or demanding anything from you, had started to chip away at the walls youâd built around your heart.
At first, your conversations were stiff and polite, nothing more than a few sentences exchanged when he stopped by the coffee shop or brought you breakfast. But as the weeks went by, those moments grew longer, softer. Heâd ask about your day, about the books you were reading, or the things you enjoyed, and you found yourself answering more openly. It wasnât quite like before, but it was closer to the first moments of your relationship, back when everything had been new and uncomplicated.
Still, there was a voice in the back of your mind that wouldnât let you forget. A quiet, insistent whisper that reminded you of how heâd hurt you, how heâd pushed you aside and made you feel invisible.
That voice grew louder the day he asked you to talk.
***
It was late afternoon, the golden light of the setting sun filtering through the windows of the coffee shop as you wiped down the counter. The shop was quiet, the usual morning and lunch rushes long gone, leaving you with only the hum of the espresso machine and the soft clatter of dishes.
The sound of the bell above the door caught your attention, and when you looked up, Steve was there.
Heâd been coming in more often lately, not just to pick up coffee for the team but to see you, to talk to you. This time, though, something about the way he stoodâhis hands shoved into his jacket pockets, his shoulders slightly hunchedâtold you this wasnât just a casual visit.
âHey,â he said softly, his voice careful as he approached the counter.
âHey,â you replied, setting the towel aside.
âDo you have a minute?â he asked, glancing around at the empty shop. âI mean⌠can we talk?â
You hesitated, your stomach twisting. The vulnerability in his expression was disarming, but that voice in the back of your mind warned you to tread carefully. Still, you nodded, gesturing toward one of the empty tables.
Steve followed you, pulling out a chair and sitting down across from you. For a moment, he said nothing, his hands clasped tightly on the table as he stared down at them. You waited, your heart thudding quietly in your chest as the silence stretched between you.
Finally, he took a deep breath and looked up, his blue eyes meeting yours.
âIâve been thinking about this for weeks,â he began, his voice low but steady. âAbout what I should say. How I should say it. And the truth is⌠thereâs no easy way to do this. So Iâm just going to be honest.â
You nodded, your throat tightening as you braced yourself for whatever was coming.
âI screwed up,â he said, the words heavy with regret. âI let you down in a way I never should have. And Iâve been trying to figure out whyâwhy I acted the way I did, why I pushed you away when you were the best thing in my life.â
His hands tightened into fists, his knuckles whitening as he struggled to find the right words. âI think⌠I think I was scared. Scared of not being enough for you, scared of dragging you into everything that comes with being me. The missions, the stress, the weight of it allâI didnât want to burden you with that.â
Your brow furrowed, confusion and frustration bubbling to the surface. âSo you decided to ignore me instead? To shut me out?â
âI know,â he said quickly, his voice breaking slightly. âI know it doesnât make sense. It was selfish and stupid, and I wasnât thinking about how it would make you feel. I just⌠I thought if I kept it to myself, if I didnât tell you about everything that was going on, I could protect you from it. But all I did was hurt you.â
His eyes glistened, and he looked away, swallowing hard. âIâll never forgive myself for that. For making you feel like you werenât enough when you were everything to me.â
The raw emotion in his voice made your chest ache, but the wounds heâd left were still fresh, still tender.
âSteveâŚâ you began, your voice trembling, âyou hurt me more than anyone ever has. Do you know that?â
He flinched, his jaw tightening, but he nodded.
âI spent weeks wondering what I did wrong,â you continued, your words spilling out in a rush. âI kept asking myself why I wasnât good enough for you, why I wasnât worth your time or your attention. And then, when you finally started trying again, it felt like a slap in the face. Like you thought a few kind gestures could erase everything you put me through.â
Tears welled in your eyes, and you fought to keep your voice steady. âI wanted so badly to be enough for you, Steve. Thatâs all I ever wanted. Just to be enough.â
âYou were,â he said quickly, his voice cracking. âYou are. God, youâre more than enough. I was the one who wasnât. I didnât know how to handle itâhow to be the man you deservedâand I let that fear control me. But I swear to you, I see it now. I see what I lost because of it.â
He leaned forward, his hands gripping the edge of the table. âI know I donât deserve another chance. I know I might have ruined the best thing that ever happened to me. But if thereâs anythingâanythingâI can do to change your mind, tell me. Iâll do it. Iâll spend the rest of my life proving to you that I can be better, that I can be the man you need me to be.â
His voice dropped, barely more than a whisper. âI just need to know if thereâs any part of you that still believes in us.â
You stared at him, your heart pounding as the weight of his words settled over you. The pain, the anger, the loveâall of it swirled together in a storm of emotion that left you speechless.
Finally, you let out a shaky breath, your voice trembling as you said, âI donât know, Steve. I donât know if I can trust you again. I donât know if I can forget how much it hurt.â
His face crumpled, but he nodded, accepting your words without argument.
âButâŚâ you continued, your voice softer now, âI canât pretend I donât still feel something for you. I canât pretend I donât still love you.â
His eyes widened, hope flickering in their depths.
âThat doesnât mean we can go back to how things were,â you said quickly, your tone firm. âIf weâre going to try⌠if weâre going to even think about trying, it has to be different. You have to be honest with me, Steve. About everything.â
âI will,â he said immediately, his voice thick with emotion. âI swear, I will.â
You nodded, your throat tight with the weight of what youâd just said. It wasnât forgivenessânot yetâbut it was something. A small step toward rebuilding what had been broken.
And as Steve reached out, his hand brushing against yours, you let yourself hopeâfor the first time in monthsâthat maybe, just maybe, it was a step worth taking.

It had been a week since the conversation with Steve, and your emotions were in turmoil. You felt caught between the raw pain of the past and the cautious hope of what could be. His words haunted youâhis apologies, his promises, the way his voice had cracked when he told you how much he still cared.
You needed clarity, and there was only one person who could give you the no-nonsense advice you desperately needed: Natasha.
She arrived at your place that evening, a takeout bag in hand, and didnât waste a second settling herself at your kitchen table. Her sharp green eyes studied you as you sat down across from her, picking at the noodles sheâd brought for you.
âAll right,â she said, breaking the silence. âWhatâs going on?â
âItâs Steve,â you admitted, your voice soft.
Natasha leaned back in her chair, her expression unreadable. âWhat about him?â
You hesitated, your fingers fidgeting with the edge of the table. âWe talked. Really talked. He told me everythingâwhy he shut me out, how he felt, all of it. He apologized for everything and⌠I believe him, Nat. I really do.â
âBut?â she prompted, raising an eyebrow.
âBut I donât know if I can trust him again,â you confessed, your throat tightening. âI donât know if I can let myself go through that again. He hurt me so much, Nat. How do I just move past that?â
Natasha studied you for a moment, her gaze piercing. âLet me ask you something,â she said finally. âIf you didnât still love him, if you didnât still want something with him deep down, would we even be having this conversation right now?â
You frowned, her words hitting you hard. âWhat do you mean?â
âItâs been three months,â she said, her tone gentle but firm. âIf you were done with him, if you really didnât care anymore, youâd have moved on by now. You wouldnât still be here, agonizing over whether to give him another chance.â
You opened your mouth to argue, but no words came. She wasnât wrong, and deep down, you knew it.
âIâm not saying you have to forgive him tomorrow or even next week,â Natasha continued, leaning forward. âBut if thereâs still a part of you that wants to believe in him, donât ignore that. You owe it to yourself to figure out what you really want. Not what youâre afraid of, not what you think you should do. What you want.â
Her words lingered long after she left, a quiet truth that refused to be ignored.
***
At the same time, Steve was grappling with his own uncertainty.
He sat in the Towerâs lounge, his hands wrapped around a mug of coffee as he stared out the window. He hadnât been able to stop thinking about your conversation, about the raw pain in your voice when you told him how much heâd hurt you.
âHey,â Samâs voice broke through his thoughts, and Steve turned to see both Sam and Bucky entering the room. They exchanged a look before sitting down on either side of him.
âYouâve been brooding,â Sam said bluntly. âWhatâs going on?â
Steve sighed, setting his mug down on the coffee table. âItâs her,â he admitted.
âFigured,â Bucky said, leaning back in his chair. âWhat happened?â
âI talked to her,â Steve said. âTold her everythingâhow I felt, why I shut her out. I apologized for all of it.â
âAnd?â Sam prompted.
âShe said she doesnât know if she can trust me again,â Steve said quietly, his voice heavy with regret. âBut she also said she still loves me. I donât know what to do with that, Sam. I donât know how to make it right.â
Sam leaned forward, his expression serious. âLook, man, love isnât always enough. Not when thereâs hurt involved. If she doesnât trust you right now, thatâs on you to fix. You canât just expect her to forgive and forget because you feel bad about it.â
âI know that,â Steve said quickly, his jaw tightening. âThatâs why Iâm here. I donât want to mess this up again. I need to figure out how to show her that Iâm serious without overwhelming her.â
Bucky gave him a long, measured look. âYouâve been trying,â he said finally. âWeâve all seen itâthe little things youâve been doing. But if youâre asking me, youâre not going to fix this by tiptoeing around her. Youâve got to be honest, Rogers. If you want her back, you need to let her see all of you. The good, the bad, and the stuff you think she wonât want to deal with.â
Steve frowned, his gaze dropping to the floor. âWhat if she doesnât want to deal with it?â
âThen she doesnât,â Bucky said simply. âBut if you hold back, youâre not giving her the chance to decide for herself. And thatâs not fair to either of you.â
Sam nodded in agreement. âYouâve got to let her see that youâre not just saying the right things, Steve. Youâve got to show her. But donât make it about fixing things fast. Healing takes time, for both of you.â
Steve exhaled slowly, the weight of their words settling over him. âThanks, guys. I appreciate it.â
âDonât thank us yet,â Sam said with a grin. âYouâve got a long road ahead of you, Cap.â
***
Steve spent the next few days thinking about their advice. Heâd been so focused on not pushing you, on giving you space, that he hadnât realized he might be holding back too much.
When he saw you next, it was at the coffee shop, just as you were closing up for the day. He hesitated for a moment before stepping inside, his heart pounding.
âHey,â he said softly, his voice breaking the quiet.
You looked up, surprise flickering across your face. âHey.â
âDo you have a minute?â he asked.
You nodded slowly, setting down the rag youâd been using to clean the counter. âSure.â
He gestured toward one of the empty tables, and you followed him, sitting down across from him. For a moment, neither of you spoke, the silence stretching between you like a fragile thread.
âIâve been thinking about what you said,â Steve began, his voice steady but low. âAbout how much I hurt you, how I made you feel like you werenât enough. And you were right. I let you down in ways Iâll never forgive myself for.â
Your throat tightened, but you stayed silent, letting him continue.
âIâve spent so much time trying to fix things in small ways, trying to show you that Iâm serious,â he said. âBut I donât think Iâve been honest enough with you. I donât think Iâve let you see how much this has been tearing me apart.â
His hands tightened into fists on the table, his knuckles white. âI donât want to overwhelm you or push you, but I canât hold this back anymore. I love you. Iâve always loved you. And Iâll do whatever it takes to prove to you that I can be the man you deserve.â
His voice cracked, and for the first time, you saw tears in his eyes. âIf thereâs anythingâanythingâI can do to earn your trust again, tell me. Because losing you would be the biggest mistake of my life.â
Your own eyes burned with tears, the raw honesty in his words cutting through the walls youâd built around your heart. For the first time, you saw not just the man whoâd hurt you but the man who was willing to fight for you, flaws and all.
You didnât have an answer for himânot yet. But as you reached across the table and took his hand, you realized that maybe, just maybe, you were ready to start finding one.
***
You were closing up the coffee shop when your phone buzzed. The message was from Natasha. That alone was unusualâNat rarely texted without reason. You pulled your phone out, unlocking it with a swipe of your thumb.
The words on the screen made your blood run cold: Weâve lost contact with Steve and Bucky.
Your breath caught, and the phone nearly slipped from your trembling hands. For a moment, everything around you blurredâthe soft hum of the espresso machine, the faint chatter of pedestrians outside, the smell of coffee beansâall of it faded into the background.
You didnât think, didnât even register dropping the rag youâd been using to clean the counter. Your hands shook as you locked the doors, fumbling with the keys before rushing to your car.
The drive to the Tower was a haze, your chest tight with panic as Natashaâs words repeated in your mind. You knew Steve went on dangerous missions. It was part of who he was. But something about those wordsâlost contactâmade this time feel different.
***
By the time you arrived at the Tower, your heart was pounding so hard you thought it might break through your ribcage. The elevator ride felt like an eternity, each floor passing with agonizing slowness. When the doors finally slid open, you practically ran into the common room, where Natasha and Sam were already waiting.
âWhat happened?â you demanded, your voice sharper than you intended.
Natasha turned toward you, her expression calm but her eyes betraying her concern. âThey were on a mission. Everything was going according to plan, but then we lost contact about three hours ago. Weâve been trying to re-establish communication, but thereâs been no response.â
Three hours. That might as well have been three days.
âWhat do you mean âlost contactâ?â you pressed, your voice rising. âHow does that even happen?â
âIt could be anything,â Sam said, his tone soothing but cautious. âJammed signals, a misstep in the mission. We donât know yet.â
You stared at them, your breathing shallow, your mind racing with every worst-case scenario imaginable. âSo they could beâŚâ
âTheyâre not,â Natasha said firmly, cutting you off. Her voice was sharp, but there was a softness in her gaze. âSteve and Bucky have been in worse situations than this. Theyâll find a way to get back to us.â
Sam nodded in agreement, but you could see the tension in his shoulders. âTheyâre two of the toughest guys I know,â he said. âIf anyone can make it out of this, itâs them.â
You wanted to believe them, but the fear in your chest refused to let go. You sank into one of the chairs, your hands gripping the armrests so tightly that your knuckles turned white.
The minutes dragged by like hours, the silence in the room heavy and oppressive. Natasha and Sam tried to make conversation, to keep you distracted, but you barely registered their words. Your mind was too consumed by the thought of what could happenâof what might have already happened.
***
When Natashaâs phone finally buzzed, the sound cut through the quiet like a gunshot. She snatched it up, her sharp gaze scanning the screen. Relief flickered across her face as she read aloud:
âItâs from Steve. Theyâre on their way back, but a medic is necessary.â
Your heart seized, a mixture of relief and panic coursing through you. âWhoâs hurt?â you asked, your voice barely above a whisper.
âHe didnât say,â Natasha replied, her lips pressing into a thin line.
You tried to steady your breathing, but the knot in your chest refused to loosen. You told yourself it didnât matter who was hurtâthey were alive, and they were coming back. But the not knowing gnawed at you, the fear for Steve settling deep in your bones.
No one told Steve you were here, and maybe that was for the best. But as you sat there, waiting for the jet to arrive, you realized just how fragile everything felt. The past few months flashed through your mindâall the moments of doubt, the anger, the hesitationâand for the first time, they seemed so small. In the grand scheme of things, you could have lost Steve today. That thought terrified you more than anything else.
***
The sound of the jetâs engines rumbling low overhead pulled you out of your thoughts. You stood with Natasha and Sam, your heart pounding as the aircraft touched down on the Towerâs private landing pad.
The ramp lowered slowly, and the first thing you saw was Steve, his arm slung around Bucky to help him walk. Bucky looked pale, his arm hanging limp at his side, his face tight with pain. Medics rushed forward to meet him, but your eyes were locked on Steve.
He didnât look much better than Bucky. His shirt was torn, streaked with dirt and blood, and his face bore a fresh collection of cuts and bruises. His shoulders sagged under the weight of exhaustion, his steps slow and measured.
But when his eyes found yours, he smiled.
Even battered and bloodied, heâd never looked more handsome. His beard, grown in over the time heâd been away, gave him a rugged edge, and his blue eyes still held that quiet strength youâd always admired.
The moment your gaze met his, something in you broke. You ran to him, barely aware of your surroundings, and threw your arms around him.
âSteve,â you sobbed, burying your face in his chest. His shirt was rough against your skin, damp with sweat and blood, but you didnât care. âI was so scared. I thought⌠I thought I might lose you.â
His arms wrapped around you tightly, his grip strong despite his obvious exhaustion. âIâm okay,â he murmured, his voice soft but steady. âIâm here.â
You pulled back just enough to look at him, tears streaming down your face. âYou have to be more careful,â you said, your voice trembling. âYou canât⌠you canât do this to me, Steve.â
His expression softened, and he reached up to brush a tear from your cheek with his thumb. âIâm sorry,â he said quietly. âI didnât mean to scare you.â
âWhat happened?â you asked, your voice cracking. âWhat went wrong?â
To your surprise, Steve didnât hesitate. He guided you to a quieter corner, his hand resting lightly on your back, and began to explain.
âThe mission was supposed to be straightforward,â he said, his voice low but steady. âBut things went sideways fast. There were more hostiles than we anticipated, and Bucky got hitâbad. I couldnât leave him behind, so IâŚâ He trailed off, his jaw tightening.
âYou carried him out,â you finished, your throat tightening.
Steve nodded, his eyes meeting yours. âI wasnât going to leave him, no matter what.â
Tears welled up in your eyes again, but this time, they werenât just from fear. They were from the overwhelming realization of who Steve truly wasâthe man who would sacrifice everything for the people he cared about.
âIâm sorry,â he said again, his voice softer now. âI wonât make that mistake again. And if youâre willing to listen, Iâll tell you everythingâabout the missions, about whatâs going on with me. No more shutting you out.â
You stared at him, your chest tight with a mixture of love and fear and hope. Slowly, you nodded. âIâm listening,â you said.
And as he began to speak, you felt the cracks in your heart begin to mend, one word at a time.
***
Steve stayed with you after the medics whisked Bucky away to the infirmary. Heâd insisted Bucky was in good hands, though you could see the guilt still lingering in his eyes. You sat together in one of the quieter rooms in the Tower, the tension from the mission still clinging to him like a second skin.
Despite his exhaustion, he refused to let go of your hand.
âYou donât have to stay,â he said softly, his thumb brushing over your knuckles as you sat beside him. âI know itâs late.â
âIâm not going anywhere,â you replied, your voice steady despite the storm of emotions swirling inside you.
He gave you a small, tired smile, one that didnât quite reach his eyes. âYouâre too good to me.â
You shook your head, squeezing his hand. âNo, Steve. Iâm justââ You paused, searching for the right words. âIâm just glad youâre okay.â
He exhaled slowly, his shoulders sagging as the adrenaline that had sustained him through the mission began to fade. âIâm sorry,â he said, his voice barely above a whisper.
âFor what?â
âFor everything,â he replied, meeting your gaze with a vulnerability that left you breathless. âFor scaring you, for shutting you out before⌠for making you feel like you werenât enough. I know Iâve said it before, but I need you to know I mean it.â
His words hung in the air, heavy with sincerity. For a long moment, you didnât respond, your chest tight as you tried to process the enormity of what he was saying.
âI was so scared today,â you admitted finally, your voice trembling. âWhen Nat texted me, when we didnât know if you were okay⌠it was like the ground had been ripped out from under me.â You swallowed hard, blinking back tears. âI realized then how stupid these past few months have been. I was so caught up in my own hurt, my own doubts, that I didnât see what we were losing.â
Steveâs grip on your hand tightened slightly, his blue eyes locked on yours. âYou werenât wrong to feel that way,â he said softly. âYou had every right to be hurt, to doubt me. I earned that. But I donât want to lose you, baby. Not now. Not ever.â
His words broke something inside you, and before you could stop yourself, you leaned forward, resting your forehead against his.
âDonât you dare scare me like that again,â you whispered, your voice cracking.
âI wonât,â he promised, his voice steady and resolute.
***
The days following the mission passed in a haze of quiet moments and tentative steps forward. Steve stayed at the Tower to help Bucky recover, but he checked in with you constantly. Sometimes it was a quick textâHow are you? Did you eat today?âand sometimes it was a phone call that lasted longer than either of you expected.
You visited the Tower often, bringing Bucky some of his favorite snacks and sitting with him while Steve caught up on reports. Bucky teased you relentlessly, of course, his dry humor cutting through the tension in ways only he could manage.
âSo,â he said one afternoon, a mischievous glint in his eyes. âWhen are you two going to stop tiptoeing around and just admit youâre back together?â
You nearly choked on your coffee. âWeâre notââ
âSure,â Bucky interrupted, smirking. âAnd Iâm the King of Wakanda.â
Steve, who had just entered the room, raised an eyebrow. âWhatâs going on?â
âNothing,â you said quickly, glaring at Bucky.
âJust pointing out the obvious,â Bucky said with a shrug, earning himself an eye-roll from both you and Steve.
Despite his teasing, Buckyâs words stayed with you. He wasnât entirely wrong. The way you and Steve interacted had changed since the mission. There was a closeness now, a sense of trust that hadnât been there before.
***
One evening, Steve invited you to dinner at the Tower. He didnât call it a date, and you didnât press him on it, but there was something deliberate about the way heâd set the table, the candles heâd lit, the care heâd taken with every detail.
The two of you sat across from each other, the soft glow of the candles casting warm light over his face. For a while, you just talkedâabout work, about Buckyâs recovery, about the books youâd been reading. The conversation flowed easily, the tension that had once lingered between you finally gone.
At one point, Steve leaned back in his chair, his gaze thoughtful.
âIâve been thinking a lot about what you said,â he began, his voice steady but quiet. âAbout how scared you were. How I need to be more careful.â
You frowned slightly. âSteve, I didnât mean to make you feel guilty. I know your work is dangerous. Iâve always known that.â
âI know,â he said quickly. âBut you were right. I canât keep doing thisânot without being honest with you about whatâs going on. If Iâm asking you to be part of my life, I need to make sure you feel like youâre part of it.â
His words sent a warmth through your chest, a feeling of being truly seen and valued. âI appreciate that,â you said softly.
Steve smiled, and for the first time in weeks, it felt like everything between you was falling into place.
***
As the night wore on, the conversation grew quieter, more intimate. Steve reached across the table, his hand brushing yours.
âI know we canât go back to how things were before,â he said, his voice low but firm. âBut I think we can build something better. Something stronger. If youâll let me.â
You stared at him, your heart pounding in your chest. There was no hesitation in his gaze, no doubt. Just quiet determination and a love that felt as steady and unshakable as the man himself.
âI want that too,â you said finally, your voice barely above a whisper.
His smile widened, and for the first time in months, you felt the weight in your chest begin to lift.
It wasnât a perfect ending. There were still things to work through, still scars to heal. But as Steve reached for your hand, his grip warm and sure, you knew you were ready to take the next stepâtogether.

â do you yield?
; gregory house x gn! Reader
Unsurprisingly, a night out between House and Wilson doesnât end up uneventful. Tensions were strung in a-- stranger way, now with Amber in the picture. One of House's grand schemes goes sideways when the person he provokes ends up punching him right in the face. In an attempt to get Wilson in trouble (due to the whole curfew agreement), House got ahead of himself and now Wilson dumps him onto someone else rather than face the wrath of his girlfriend.
And of course, no oneâs ever happy to see House on their doorstep.
a/n; sorta just ! Self-indulgent!! This fic leans towards sub bottom house roles, no sex just sloppily making out. Written in 3rd person, they/them for reader! Honestly not too proud of this, but I wanted to get this out đ
tws!! Suggestive, minor blood play (like incredibly minor), and house bein house â 4.5k words
The plan had been going smoothly. Drinks were going down quickly for Wilson, lord only knows how stressed he had been to be downing alcohol like it was water, and thankfully for House he recalled scoring over God a couple years ago. Meaning he knew what had been haunting Wilson's always-ready-to-please mind.
The connection that Amber had been so similar to House had already been scrounged up, and even House would be lying if that made him think just a little too. Oh, nothing crazy maybe just the fact that if he'd been a woman, Wilson might have been all over him. Her?
The details didn't matter.
What did matter though, was his loss of control over the situation. House didn't know what he had been thinking. No one had been paying them much attention, and his goal was to just get Wilson drunk. Only Wilson. He supposed that he thought he needed to convince his friend to keep drinking? Maybe that's why House started drinking too. And maybe that's why he started picking fights with strangers.
It started off as passing remarks he made to Wilson, the infamous smug smirk that showed how he thought himself omniscient in a sense. That he was so sure he could read people like a book. To a certain degree, that was true. How else was he capable of coming up with schemes that would puppet the parties involved for his own benefit?
Eventually though, passing remarks would eventually turn into what seemed like heckling. No wonder he ended up getting socked right square in the face by a patron. House was always self-sabotaging, but sabotaging his own plans to sabotage Wilson's relationship with Amber? Now that was a little ridiculous.
Didn't change the fact that it happened though.
"Oh-- come on House, I can't bring you back to my place and you know it." Wilson's voice had some strain in it, one of his arms hooked around his friend's (questionable title given to the likes of House) waist as he led him to his car. "Especially not since you started this... this meaningless war." He muttered, the hesitance in his voice to say meaningless suggested that maybe he didn't think it was entirely meaningless. Perhaps a hint to the fact that he did find amusement in it. Hell, maybe even enjoyed it for a bit.
House was disoriented. Not by liquor, but by the fact that he had blood gushing out of his nose and perhaps even a bit of a broken nose at that. "She's got you on a leash, Wilson." He swallowed, wetting his dried mouth. "If I say I'm sorry for leaving you at the pound and give you a treat, will you come running back to me?" He spoke with a certain monotonous that always indicated that he was just being a dick. Everyone's heard it enough to recognize it.
On the other hand Wilson decided to ignore that remark and start tapping away on his phone. Scrolling through contacts in an attempt to make some sort of solution for this mess. âIâm handing you off to someone else House. Whether you like it or notââ he swung open the car door to the passenger seat, muttering a few âcarefulâs as he lowered the man into the seat. Impaired judgement kept him from stopping the bloody nose first, and instead opting to do it when he got into the driverâs seat first.
âAre you dialling Thirteen?â House tilted his head forwards, just letting his head hang before Wilson shoved a bundle of tissues against his face. In turn he winced and complained âoww!â dramatically. âBetter be Thirteen.â His voice all muffled by the tissues.
Little did he know, it was the nurse that worked under a couple of his former ducklings.
House usually didnât care for the other staff around the hospital, but he cared when he thought he could squeeze out some information out of some. Thatâs what heâd done to them. But not only did they refuse to sell out their fellow coworkers, they had also exacted revenge on him not too long ago. They didnât necessarily win but they also didnât lose.
What they were capable of doing, was bruising his ego.
After that, the two just kept interacting. The rivalry the two shared was almost akin to a friendship, but neither of them would admit to such a thing. After all, they hated each otherâs guts.
There was a mutual respect there though, hidden somewhere. Wilson liked to think that at least. He would mention it or make a comment about it to House but of course he was always met with a response likeâ
âTomato, To-mah-to. Only respect they ever receive from me is purely superficial. Happy to see them go, even happier when they turn around and I get to watch them leave.â
Wilson had rolled his eyes then, taking it as another one of those jerky comments House made to be a dick for the fun of it. The longer he had let it marinate though, and the tone shift at the time, perhaps it had an underlying meaning to it. Or he could just be giving him the benefit of the doubt. Again.
The car engine roared to life when Wilson inserted his car key, his other hand pressing his phone to his ear as he gave his friend one singular glance to make sure he wasnât doing something stupid. He wasnât. Just popping some more pills.
âWilson itâsââ a voice picked up. They paused, as if looking off to the side.
âItâs 10 pm. This is well after office hours.â They spoke with a certain exhaustion in their tone. Expected, to be fair. They were all employees of a hospital, hard to keep up a good amount of energy when youâre running around the place all the time. Especially a nurse.
âListen, I know this is a big request but,â he put his hand on the steering wheel, grunting when House would knock the butt of his cane against his forearm, âHouseâ youâre going to cause us to crash!â
âHouse? Heâs with you?â They sounded surprised at first before it all melted away, âOh, who am I kidding, of course heâs with you.â The tone of their voice simply went from quizzical to bemused really quick. âIâm not doing anything for that bastardâ this is too big a favour to ask of me Wilson.â Their indignation to aiding him in whatever he was about to ask didnât keep Wilson from having his foot on the gas pedal though. He was convinced he was going to have them agreeing by the time they get there. If they donât agree well⌠too bad they were going to show up to their house anyways.
As the conversation continued out on the phone, it didnât take long for House himself to realize who had been called to their rescue. It made him scoff in amusement, âoh yeah smart move Wilson. Get stick-up-their-ass to keep me from bleeding out at their place thatâll work out!â He raised his voice loud enough that he knew heâd be audible through the phone.
Wilson furrowed his brows, his mouth agape for a second as he struggled to formulate a sentence but they cut him off before he could.
âBleeding out? What the hell were you guys doing?â The concern was real but they eventually sputtered and tried to backpedal, âyou know weâre not close enough for me to be covering whatever illegal activities you guys are doing!â Which was reasonable reaction, honestly.
âNoâ noâ nothing illegal!â Wilson opposed, having to fight the urge to just knock his head against his steering wheel. God, it was like having two children in each ear yelling at him. House was talking about something but so were they. It just became a garbled mess. Not to mention the fact that he was still driving.
âI warned you. Weâre on our way.â In the end, Wilson stood his ground. Pocketing his phone, he would keep his eyes straightforward on the road.
__________________________________________
âYouâre lucky to have a friend like Wilson.â They murmured, lips pulled taut as they dabbed a cotton swab around the otherâs nasal area. It was reddened with blood, bits of it dark from it already coagulating and drying out. House remained still, for the most part. Pale blue eyes staring right at them, not necessarily happy about this situation either. He wasnât even tipsy anymore, just sober and in pain.
To be fair though, that was kind of regular day to day for him.
Houseâs eyes looked down briefly, flexing his fingers. âYeah? Well friends like Wilson end up dumping you to get butchered up on a chopping block.â Then he wiggled, âor I suppose on a kitchen counter.â Not even an amused noise from them. Just the knitting of brows as they were wary of his squirming to make his point.
They were firm with him, as many would have to be with House. A hand holding his face steady, thumb and index holding his chin so they could tilt his head if needed. House was surprisingly cooperative.
âWell good for you,â they paused their actions, giving him an obvious look over, ânobody actually likes old meat. Too tough, too chewy.â They scoffed, before going back to dabbing the bloody areas of his face. Unfortunately, heâd also gotten a busted lip. It wasnât drastic but it was most definitely going to take more than just a couple weeks to fully recover from it.
House had his neck craned up, brows furrowed a little as he stared up at the ceiling. His eyes would shift downwards, looking to his begrudging caretaker. They had their lips pursed, their eyes a bit sunken from a long day.
He took the time to look at them though. Oversized band shirt over a pair of shorts. If he craned his head to the side just a bit, he could see that their shirt had hiked up just a little. Resting right above the small of their back, making it so that the front draped down but their ass visible.
His obnoxious ogling was cut short when he felt a dull pain, hissing as he felt just a little too much pressure being applied on his wound.
âIâm doing this for free already. If you want more, youâre gonna have to pay.â They muttered, voice thick with sarcasm.
House let sucked in a breath, âis this about the hookers? Just because I support sex work doesnât mean Iâll let you drain me dry of my money! Youâre not even a hooker.â He winced again, but not because they pressed too hard again. It was more a culmination of his leg and the busted up face situation.
For a brief moment, their eyes softened. They paused for a moment, pulling away and putting down the cotton pad they had held in their hand.
âYour Vicodin?â They questioned, as if expecting him to already be reaching for any sort of pill bottle. House gave a frown, not even really trying to feel himself to find said pill bottle.
He clicked his tongue, âmust have dropped it back at the bar. Maybe Prince Charming will find it and return it to me and weâll live happily ever after.â Actually, he was pretty sure if he ever came face to face with the guy again, he was going to end up with a black eye next.
They rolled their eyes. âIâll get you something. Hold this.â They then passes him a bag of frozen⌠strawberries. Huh. Then they left the room, going to fetch something.
âDonât even bother,â he held the frozen strawberries, and instead of using it as intended he opens the bag and pops one in his mouth, âitâs not going to even work.â His face contorted when the frozen fruit touched his tongue.
He supposed that was effective too. Brainfreeze. Maybe once or twice.
âIâll just go on and skedaddle as soon as I can. Say, where are your car keys? A question of curiosity.â He called out, already turning his head to look about. When they popped their head back into the room they held what seemed to be clothes and a bottle of pills.
âYouâre not getting my keys House.â They huffed, before walking back to him. The grown man sitting on their kitchen island with his legs dangling off the side, shirt bloodied and smelling of a rank bar.
This exchange caused him to raise a brow.
Not necessarily because they wouldnât give him their car keys. But the fact that they held a change of clothes for him. Either they were just feeling generous, pitied him, or⌠they had actually planned for him to stay the night.
âAre you trying to get into my pants? You know, thereâs different ways to do thatââ
âYes I want to have sex with you.â
The two stared at each other. His mouth agape as if he was going to speak, but they cut him off.
âNo, House,â they gave an exasperated sigh, pinching the bridge of their nose. âIâm not trying to have sex with you.â They dropped the clothes right next to him, âyou just smell like dog food and shit.â
Then they showed him the bottle they brought with them.
âIbuprofen? That shit doesnât do anything!â House reached out for it, though his tone spoke of a child who had maybe received fish sticks instead of his preferred mozzarella sticks.
At his complaint, they clenched their jaw. âEither take some or Iâm going to shove them down your throat.â That made him give a faux look of offence, âand you work at the hospital! Iâm surprised Cuddy hasnât canned you yet.â Though the look they gave him made him finally unscrew the cap.
They took a moment to watch him take a couple, before walking aside. âGo take that shower. Iâm not taking you anywhere, but honestly,â they turned to give him a look, âI wouldnât stop you from wandering out.â
House recognized that their first instinct might have actually been to care. Hence the actual attempt at cleaning up his mess. Even giving him clothes and letting him take a shower. But he also knew that their history wouldnât allow them to just will themselves to be happy around his presence.
Thatâs why, as a fuck you towards them and Wilson, he was going to stay. Prove Wilson wrong by pissing them off they just have to go yell at Wilson tomorrow morning.
__________________________________________
The bright light of the TV flickered, colours danced along the surface of his gruff face as he sat on the couch. He made himself comfortable in their home, meaning he made a mess of the living room. It was almost midnight now. They told him off earlier, but after him not budging the slightest, they just slinked away into their room.
He knew they were still awake though.
It was that stupid pirate cartoon. Only played at night! When else was he supposed to watch it?
âHouse.â
He looked over, a clueless expression on his face as he then looked to his wristwatch, âis it early morning already? Wait, nope. Go back to sleep.â He made a dismissive gesture with his hand, as if shooâing them away. From their own living room.
The look on their face wasnât even exasperation or frustration. They just looked done. They walked over, stepping in front of the television screen with their arms crossed. âTurn it off, you need rest.â
He tried to look around them at first, but it was all but futile! He groaned, âget out of the way. You really going to stand there the entire time?â The irritation in his voice didnât necessarily match the glint in his eye. Amusement, perhaps even a hint of a challenge in them.
They squinted their eyes at him.
It was always that. The look in his eyes that presented a challenge that was supposed to push people away. Yet for people as stupid as those who willingly stuck around House, it did the opposite. Before their own experiences, they always thought it strange for Wilson or hell, even Cuddy to entertain him. Because for a lack of a better word, that was exactly what they do.
Now that theyâve been in a similar position, they understand why.
âDoes it turn you on to be such a dick? Surely youâre getting some sort of sick gratification from what you do.â They sneered, approaching him and his smug son of a bitch face. He stared, like he always did, before turning his head and sticking out his lip a little âin thoughtâ.
Then he gave a shake of his head, his expression dumb as he said, âmy body says no but my mouth says yes.â Then taking a moment before furrowing his brow, âactually, pretty sure I mixed that up.â Just another one of his snarky remarks that made the recipientâs anger burn hotter. It wasnât even good, the things he said sometimes. Not objectively.
Sometimes they were so stupid that it provided the same effect. The same results. And that was all House ever wantedâ results.
Before they could get in another word though, House graciously interrupted them. âIâm not kidding. Step away.â He nudged his hand again, trying to wave them aside. His other? Rested on his thigh. Running along the problem site, up and down as if trying to soothe. Not that it ever worked.
âYou didnât take the ibuprofen.â
That seemed to strike a nerve. âNoâ I did. Would my incompetent nurse like to see me try again? Itâll only keep proving that Iâm right.â He inhaled sharply, wincing. âIt. Doesnât. Work.â
At that, they finally took one step to the side. Allowing for the light of the TV to light him up again. He was sweating, just a little bit, on his head. If he was in so much pain wouldnât he get up and go? Or was there something else he was trying to prove? Surely he didnât hate them enough to endure his own pain to inflict pain upon them. Then again, that would be a House thing to do.
Silently, they sat beside him.
House scrunched up his nose, turning his head as he shifted, leaning further back against the plush of the couch. "Thatâs it?â He let out a shallow breath, turning ever-so-briefly to look at them. They didnât return the gesture, just staring straight forward.
âThatâs it.â
There was a quiet lull between the two, only the over exaggerated voices of the pirate and the princess audible in their space. Quiet wasnât really Houseâs thing, though. He turned to them again, arm raised to rest against the back of the couch, âyouâre just giving up? Just like that?â
Giving up?
They snorted. âIâm not giving up anything. You were the one with expectations.â Then they finally turned to meet his eyes, âIâm not in the mood for games, House. If you arenât going to listen, then you arenât going to listen.â
For some reason, he looked confused. âYou donât just give up. Itâs the one thing that actually makes you interesting.â He spoke as if he was the one getting offended. Even if he wasnât planning on it now, they couldnât help but feel some anger bubbling up again. What did he want?
âThen you should fucking leave, shouldnât you, Greg?â They hissed under their breath, trying to turn back to the meaningless cartoon.
Out of all the petty things theyâve argued about, this felt the most genuine. Over an⌠animated cartoon?
âNo. I shouldnât. Youâre supposed toâ toâŚâ he paused, biting his tongue. As if the Gregory House was hesitating. When there was virtually no reaction from his uncharacteristic doubt, he grunted. âYouâre supposed to fight back. Keep me here.â
A look of surprise crept up to their face. âWhat?â They blurted out, turning back around to see the man with his head down, eyes flickering up to get one glance at their face. To see what reaction he had received. There were so many things that could be said. So many things they probably should have said. One of them being âget outâ which so gingerly danced upon the tip of their tongue.
His head swayed to the side, mouth opening once but then pressed together in a thin line.
This was probably the withdrawals talking. The pain talking. It wasnât anything he could really stop from spilling out, either way. âCome on. Youâre not stupid now, too.â He clenched his fist, then unclenched, nervously fidgeting. âYou might be boring but youâre not an idiot.â
âStop speaking in fucking riddles and spit it out.â
House scoffed, maybe out of amusement. He made eye contact again and straightened out his back just a little. âYou hate me. I like pissing you off.â They raised an eyebrow at this, opening their mouth to speak but House shut them up by just putting his whole hand over their mouth.
âShut up. I know, stating the obvious.â He mumbled, watching them carefully before slowly lowering his hand again once he deemed that it was âsafeâ. âBut you havenât made any real effort into pushing me out. And IâŚâ he furrowed his brows, pinching the bridge of his nose.
âI donât know.â It all came to an abrupt end. House looked at them as if he expected them to understand what he was saying. What all this stumbling over words meant. There was a certain look in his eyes though, one that had replaced his smug piece-of-shit look from before. The one they were used to.
Too many silences. Thereâd been too many between them in such a short period of time. But whose fault was that, huh?
âYouâre saying⌠that I⌠need you? Or what? That I like you?â Shock was still riddled all over their faceâ a mixture of shock and anger that is. Every time they calmed down he always managed to rile them up again. That has got to be a skill.
A sort of relief seemed to wash over him as he leaned back again. He made a gesture with his hand, giving them another look. The ever familiar House stare.
He was still playing a game. Whether or not his intentions were to simply screw around with them no longer mattered. Because even if he was being genuine the bastard didnât know how to express himself without hopping through loops. His reaction to them finishing his thought spoke louder than any sort of response he could have followed up with. Even if they said that it was completely untrue it was too late, he made up his mind.
His reaction also meant that the thought of them needing him wasnât a thought he disproved of.
They relaxed, eyes downcast for a second before they met his eyes again, âyouâre a piece of shit.â They muttered, eyes then shifting to his hand that was closest to them. His other was still on his thigh. It had been the entire time. Right now though, it slowed down its ministrations. His attention was on them.
âI should be proving you wrong.â They were slow, grazing their hand over his before interlocking their fingers with his. Warm. Stiff but not dismissive of the touch.
âBut youâd see through me, right? Because you always do. You know so much.â He didnât lean in, but they did. It was like the air had gone still, nothing held either of them back. Not sure House wanted to be held back in any way. Especially considering the way he looked to their lips, ever slightly parted for him.
He was quiet. Waiting. Wasnât this what he expected? Orâ something adjacent?
They tilted their head, lightly lifting themselves off the couch to reach him, leaning over him just a little. âYouâre not stopping me.â They mumbled, taking a brief pause. Their eyes stared at his face, appraising him. What did he look like? Hazy. Supposedly, they should back off now.
They got their answer. Didnât they?
âYouâre such a piece of shit.â They breathed out before kissing him. When did the mood change? Perhaps the very moment they decided to entertain his childish game of feelings.
House didnât waste any time to reciprocate. His hand moved off his thigh, hiking around their waist and pulling them close, so they didnât have to hover as much. Mouths moving in tandem, both of them warming up as hands travelled up and down and groped. He tried to advance, but they pushed back.
âDonât you even think it House.â They whispered against his lips, one of their hands on his other thigh and another against his chest. Kissing him again, he chased after them as they pulled back again to give him a smug smile, âunder my roof, my rules.â
âTaking my credit? For this? Didnât think you a thief.â He spoke, but his eyes were trained back on their lips.
âYou think I want the credit for initiating?â They muttered, their hand trailing up from his chest to his face. âNo. I want the credit for this.â They leaned back down, inching their bodies closer as they kissed again. As feverish as they were, the heat of the moment wasnât enough to cover the sudden sharp pain he felt on his lip.
His shoulders tensed, what was akin to a whimper slipping past his lips. His eyes fluttered open, and he saw them above him. A gleaming of something besides saliva on her own lips.
Houseâs hand goes up, pressing it gently against his lip, âyou bit me.â There was blood, not too much, but enough. It was the busted lip theyâd nurtured, now it was bleeding again. Yet he didnât find it at all insulting. Instead, he almost looked pleasantly surprised.
âWant me to kiss it all better?â They mused, chest heaving still, and giving him time to either accept or decline. Maybe they should have asked firstâ
âYouâd be sleeping on the couch if you didnât.â He hardly finished his sentence before he reached for them again, the two clawing at each other desperately as saliva and blood was smeared against their faces. They were kind enough to not do much more to fuck up his lip more, instead going to plant kisses against the side of his neck and down to his chest.
A few red imprints left in their wake, which looked like red lipstick at the time but would most certainly just look like dried blood in the morning. And most certainly not look like kisses.
The hickeys thoughâ that was most certainly going to be a conversation topic between House and Wilson in the morning.
âAdmit it House,â they murmured against his skin, their hands quickly working to unbutton his shirt, âyouâre the one who needs me.â They kissed and gently nipped at his skin, their hands moving to his belt when his upper body was exposed for them.
He tilted his head back, hissing out a breath as he tried to muster up some words without giving them too much gratification. Looking back, he eyed their close proximity to where he needed them most. âSays the one with their hands practically down my pants.â
âFine. Iâll take them out.â
âDonât you dare.â
Guess they were both going to be sleeping on the couch that night.

Fresh's Theme: YOO I'LL TELL U WUT I WANT SO TELL ME WH Swap: FML
art source comes from here, fic made by @gaylordscooter
[IMAGE ID: A digital drawing of Swap Sans, visibly tense and hiding behind a broken wall. The wall is an almost-grey blue, the background is a slightly bluer and darker grey, Blue's background color is blue, and Swap's outlines are a paler version of his background. Behind the wall are rainbow all-capitilized words that switch color each line break. The words read "YOO I'LL TELL U WUT I WANT SO TELL ME WH", the words a reference to the beginning lyrics in Wannabe by Spice Girls. The rainbow words are cut off by the bottom of the broken wall. Swap's thought bubble background is his outline colour, while his speech bubble font color is colored in his background color. His thought bubble just reads "FML" in all caps. END ID]
#utmv#swap sans#fresh sans#i hate you btw i've been unable to listen to anything but wannabe for days since reading that fic#i couldn't get this idea out of my brain#it gnawed at me like a creature#i couldn't rest until i drew this#the chorus of wannabe is still stuck in my head#i switched my song to wannabe while writing these tags#this song lives rest free in my head please help#all of your fics live in my head but this song is haunting me#why is your characterization of Fresh so good he's also living in my head please make him pay rent#also i want to eat ALL of your fics and your art and all your character concepts and designs#your art is so good#your headcanons are so good i've stolen like at least 3#and your 'nightmare is young' concept has also eaten like half of my brain by now so also i demand financial compensation#i can't stop thinking about the things you create oh my fucking god

I have learnt things about Geto that I wish I could unlearn
#I think I'm getting about the same amount of spoilers as a few weeks ago except now I understand them#But like. I expected so much of him#Seeing gifs of that one scene in which Gojo gets distracted because of Geto almost made me watch this a year ago#Geto was actually my favourite character in that one JJK fanfic I read that I mention so often even if he had literally one scene#I know so much of the emotional turmoil and conflict in JJK and Gojo in particular depends on him#And you're telling me he's Thanos?#I learnt a few days ago that everything pretty much happens in one year. That there's one year between Geto's death and Gojo's#I thought it would be like ten years. Ten years of the act haunting him#But no? So it's not a broken teenager who has these ideas and is killed by another teenager to stop him?#It's a what? ~30yo man saying Light levels of stupidity? Even worse perhaps?#Goodness I hope this is not so. I hope this is better written than what I am seeing#Because goddammit I can't do it. It would kinda ruin every emotional scene from then on?#That one scene I was so looking forwards about patting Gojo's back or whatever. The one in which Gojo gets distracted. It just. I don't know#I won't be able to be moved if Geto doesn't work xD#I was fearing I wasn't going to like him a lot because my expectations were big but oh my god please not like this#This is way worse than I expected. Someone tell me he actually makes sense. What's the point of this whole political play#in which no one is fully wrong and no one is totally right otherwise? What is the point of the haunting. This feels just idiotic xD#And I don't care about the traumas and all that. That works for the teen not the ~30yo man#It would have worked if Gojo would have killed him like 1-2 years after everything not like a few months ago. Last winter#After like ten years a 30yo man should have realised this plan sucks.#Even if it's utilitarian. Who is going to make clothes? Buildings? Streets and railways? Bread??? Go have a talk with Nanami please#We have been told there are not a lot of jujutsu sorcerers. How are you going to fulfill all those needs out of nothing?#And even if it were little by little so the needs could be getting fulfilled little by little too#If you decimate humans won't that cause more curses? I guess he's thinking on the long run but still this plan seems like a mess#I hope it makes more sense than it's looking it will make because of my god this would truly be the last nail on the coffin xD#I am being more and more tempted to get to Utahime and then just drop this. This is breaking my heart xD#It could be soooo good and it always almost is#And then. AND THEN. Abfksbfndbfkan#Jen pick me up. Come solve this. I am scared xD#I talk too much

UNCLE NINA WRITES WEIRD JK STAN LETTERS!
hello benevolent angel people!
( because you're wonderful but bc you're doing gods work by supporting my dead fanfic from hell. c:â )
so this is a lil...experimental? but bc i've been dabbling on that one ask large lore ask that set before kyle knows raven of crimson dawn is his stan, i've gotten very attached to writing the silly jersey letters to dead stan in his journal again. ( again, nina lore is that it's what a friend had me do when my first cat passed away.
i still write to her. <3 )
but this is just something i wrote to get back into the habit of writing again. i put it on docs and i used a font which...okay? tbh, i think looks exactly like i want jk's handwriting to look. like its very swirly, he is my calligraphy king. i didn't proof it bc i just wrote...all of it tonight like a weird crazy person.
also i realize jk sounds...a lot like me
â but he Is me, tbh?
like in some facets i did give him lil pieces of myself so he could grow into an uber tall thicc as hell academic hot jersey talk shit get hit boy.
( i also do think he's a lot goofier with stan in his little letters esp since he doesn't think that anyone is going to read them they are just his lil vent space. let it out king! )
as for the timeline...i think it's pre!rm bonus content? like i dropped a little context about stuff that happened before the fic, but i think it's probably written anywhere in the last 1-2 years of rm before kyle went to that crimson dawn concert. i'm not sure what compelled me to write it i just...really like vulnerable jersey just being a jersey dirtbag but like kneeling by the stan shrine and asking for light.
speaking of...as far as triggers go. mostly the spelling is just bad, help, but jersey does talk a lot about stan dying and is very...distressed about it. he's also...really depressed and is not at the moment coping super well, but is reaching out for help. <3 always reach out for help when you need it. i didn't mention anything specific, but he does just mention thinking he's not a good person, feeling ugly, unworthy, lost, etc...TW FOR HIM BEING SO VULNERABLE AND CUTE ALSO.
he is...my secret loverboy prince.
he is my lo-...
my L-
anyways...ROLL CLIP!
#i cannot tell u what compelled me to make...this#but it did make me feel nice so idk its not the most professional or formulaic thing ive ever written#but i think its nice i am sorry if the found is too gnar i really wanted to do a jk letter in like a letter structure for once#also this is it so funny to me that jk out here trying to rizz himself up to fucking dead GHOST stan like he is insane#also im like oh god does he sound too much like me?? BUT HE IS ME I GAVE HIM LOTS OF ME IDK AAAA SORRY#he is a lovely man when hes not being horrible and i am Also a sweet lovely man when im not being horrible#but idk him giving stan all the cute nicknames and like writing a letter and for the first time in a very long time#wasnt completely honest but was mostly honest about just not being the best and needing to be and needin someone else#OOOOOOOOY MY EYES ARE WATCHING HELP ME#no im so sorry if u were victimized by sexy topdom jersey sometimes he is like on critical boyfailurisms#he wants to impress like one motherfucker and its dead stan marsh like HAUNT ME PROMISE ME#HAUNT ME LIKE AN OLD VICTORIAN HOUSE AN UNDERWATER SHIPWRECK when i tell u i was in pain#also not him just building his ideal boyfriend like he won i love you jersey SPEAKING OF DO U SEE HIM#DO YOU SEE HIM TRYING TO DO IT HES TRYING TO TYPE THE!!!! IM TELLING YALL HE CANT DO IT#HE COULDNT EVEN TELL DEAD STAN ANYWAYS THAT AS MAKING ME CRY sorry ill proof it a lots wrong w it#i am very sleepy nina please stop...not sleeping from stress#but i hope it pleases and sparkles <3

STRAIGHT TO VOICEMAIL đ â・đŚšÂ°â§
Ö´ ࣪đ¤ featuring. gojo satoru
Ö´ ࣪đ¤ warnings. cursing, mentions of death, gojo being sad and angry, 2006 gojo geto shoko.
note. for some reason i feel angsty today and i just saw this prompt on pin, just had to write it lol.
gojo has never loathed himself more than when he missed your call â your very last call.
"i could've fuckin' saved them, suguru." gojo blankly stared at the ceiling, his head thrown back onto the couch's rest; he was conflicted, he didn't know what to do. it was as if his motoric abilities had just stopped all of a sudden.
"satoru . . ."
"i could've fuckin' saved y/n." the white haired male mumbled out, his face scrunching in frustration.
gojo has dealt with death. a lot. the concept of death isn't a stranger to him anymore, not in this world â and to think that he'd actually be alive to experience deaths of his loved ones, thinking he could have done so much more made him hate himself.
god, gojo hated crying in front of other people. the aura in the room was palpable. nobody spoke ânobody dared to speakâ and the only sound resounding was the vague ticking belonging to the clock hanging on the wall.
"i could've fuckin' saved them," the male repeated for the third time, his voice breaking that he had to inhale sharply to stop himself from breaking down right there.
gojo pushed himself up, placing his palms above his eyes, pressing down on them harshly; he lets out a loud sigh, "where the fuck did it all go wrong?"
"y/n was killed in action . . ." god, gojo wanted to rip his hair out when yaga called him in privately to say that. the male had lost count of how many times the statement repeated in his mind.
frankly, it's haunting.
out of all the news he could have received today, he never expected to hear your death lulling into his eardrums. so soon. so many things swirling in his mind all at once that even he, deemed the strongest, felt the sensation of losing. he felt weak.
"hi, 'toru â you're probably busy since my call went straight to voice mail, but 'm just saying . . . i love you, and i miss you. so much." there was a slight pause and your breathing shallowed into the mic, every single detail in your last moments were graved in that file, "'m not sure if . . . i'll be back as soon as i promised, but, i just want you to know that whatever happens. happens."
there was a slight static before your soft voice recoiled back into the mic, "i've never broken any promises to you, but this might be the very first time â and just know that i've never wanted to do this, i fucking hate myself for this," your voice broke slightly, "'m bleeding. a lot. but 'm trying to stop it just like how ieiri taught me. and i think 'm doing shit at it . . . i don't know what happened, and how it happened; but 'm not doing okay."
"i don't want to die, 'toru." you whispered into the mic, hoarse and weak â feeling the life drain out, "i really don't want to die . . . i have so many things i want to do with you, and suguru, and ieiri . . ." you murmur out, inhaling sharply but it all ended up with you coughing out in pain.
"remember that time i said i wanted to open a pet hotel . . ? i don't know if you think i was joking, but i was really serious about opening one," you began to mumble out, all in random directions â none of your words make any sense anymore, and you could barely keep yourself awake.
"i don't want to die, please," you pleaded, desperate for life. no matter what you did at this point â the light inside of you was almost out, and you can't do anything about it, "fuck. i hate this. so much, 'toru."
"i want to see you again. i miss you. i miss you so so much," you softly murmur out, " . . . i love you. i love you so much, satoru."
and everything ended right after. including you.
gojo has never loathed himself more than when he missed your call. your. very. last. call.

devotion. l General Marcus Acacius
Summary:Â he returned to Rome in glory, he returned to you
Warnings:Â smut, angst, unprotected sex (don't do it!), fingering, mention of pregnancy, a few nasty words
A/N: that was a quick shot. i hope you'll be gentle with me. your feedback is very important to me and I thank you for all the reblogs, comments and likes. đ¤ sorry for all the mistakes
You saw perfectly how his brown eyes widened when he saw you in the crowd of guests in the Emperor's palace. The golden wreath on his curly dark hair, the sun-kissed body dressed in white and gold - he looked like one of the Gods you could worship in a temple.Â
And wasn't he one of them? One of those legendary heroes? The one who brought glory to the Roman Empire. One of your Emperor's favorites.
Wasn't he the man you had loved for so long?
When he crossed the threshold of your home late in the evening, you could finally fall into each other's arms. In that moment, he was your Marcus, the man you loved more than life, to whom you had promised loyalty, to whom you had promised eternal devotion and faithfulness.
His warm, plush lips crushed against yours in a kiss full of longing and love that you had to keep so far from each other. Strong arms wrapped around you like vines, but you clung to him with your whole body, yearning for his closeness so much.
"Almost four years..." he sighed as he rested his forehead against yours "I counted every day, my love. And every day was unimaginable torture."
Your hand stroked his bearded cheek "I knew you would return. The Gods promised to give you back to me, and here you are. Safe and sound." Your fingers tenderly stroked the scar on his cheek, slipping into his hair interwoven with silver threads "I can't believe you're finally here."
Marcus' hands tightened around your waist "Tell me you're not just a beautiful dream..."
"I'm here, my love." You whispered, tenderly touching his lips "All yours." He pressed his lips to yours as if he had to make sure that you weren't a dream, laughing, you pulled away from him slightly "Marcus, we need to talk, so much has happened..."
"We have the whole next day, our whole lives for this. Please... Let's not talk tonight. I want to love you, adore you, caress your body." He sounded like a man possessed, hungry for your body "I need to remind myself of every curve of your body. I want to taste you and immerse myself in your sweetness. I beg you, my beloved..."
You couldn't refuse him, you didn't want to. The dream of the warmth and closeness of his body had haunted you almost since he left for that cursed war. You couldn't wait any longer.
The heavy door of your chamber closed, and after a moment you were both taking off your robes. Hands craving a familiar touch, lips searching for each other. Hot lips wandered around your neck when you felt the cool sheet under your fingers. Marcus raised himself on his shoulders, his dark as night eyes roaming your body.
"Give me a moment..." he said as you tried to pull him closer to you. "You're more beautiful than I remember you."
You laughed quietly, a little embarrassed by his confession. "I'm definitely older."
"As am I. But to me you'll always be equal to the goddesses."
"Don't say that, Marcus. Don't incur the wrath of the Gods, they can be jealous."
A mocking smile appeared on his face. "I'm not afraid! The earth could open up beneath me and swallow me alive, but I won't stop repeating it. You are a goddess, my love. I dedicate my life to serving you. Only you."
"Then do it. Use your body and all your strength to do it."
You didn't have to repeat it twice. Your lips connected again in a strong and deep kiss. His tongue invaded between your lips, extracting from you those sweet moans that returned to him during sleepless nights.Â
His hard cock rested on your thigh, and you felt excitement and fear, it had been so long since you felt him inside but you wanted him so much.
Marcus' lips slid down to your sternum, then your breast. He kissed it and bit it lightly, despite the time he still remembered everything that made your body tremble. When the nipple disappeared in his mouth you felt your walls tighten slightly, giving you a signal that you couldn't wait any longer. But it was Marcus who dominated you, doing whatever he wanted with your body.
When his long fingers moved over your slippery folds you moaned shamelessly.
"So thirsty..." he whispered, his lips brushing your belly "Let me prepare you first, love. Let me..." two fingers slid inside you with incredible ease, all the way to his knuckles "I've got you."
Your body arched like a string, the stretch felt so good. Marcus pulled his fingers out and after a moment he pushed them back in, watching your reaction with great pleasure.
"If you could see it." he kissed the inside of your thigh tenderly "So hungry, so greedy."
"Harder..." you moaned, grabbing his wrist and trying to take control, but he wouldn't let you.
He grabbed yours with his other hand, quickly brushed it with his lips, and then his fingers started moving faster and harder. You heard that lewd sound that showed how wet you were and how your body reacted to his caresses.
"Give me everything. Cum on my fingers, love." Marcus panted, feeling his hard cock throb at the sight of your body. "Don't torture yourself like that, love. Cum."
And you did. Your thighs clenched as a shiver of pleasure ran through your body, and a sweet moan escaped your throat. You squeezed your eyes shut, feeling your head buzzing, but suddenly Marcus took control again.Â
His strong arms spread your thighs, and his hard cock slid inside you without warning. You lost your breath. Your eyes rolled back under your eyelids, and when his strong body pinned you to the bed, you knew there was no escape.
"Fuck..." he moaned loudly, dazed by the feeling. "You're so tight, so warm..."
"Marcus... I feel like you're going to tear me apart..." you moaned, taking his face in your hands and kissing him. "Gods!"
"Don't summon them, love." he mumbled quietly, brushing your lips "They'll be jealous of us."
His hand grabbed your leg under the knee and he lifted it slightly, thrusting into you even deeper. You didn't know how on earth it was possible, but his cock seemed to dig into you even more with each thrust.Â
His body, his strength intoxicated you. Your beloved transformed under your fingers into a barbarian who came to your bed just to fuck you and use your body as he wished.
You felt another orgasm building inside you and you wanted to tell him that, but in an instant Marcus lifted himself up. Without leaving you he pulled you with him and sat on his heels, you fell onto his thighs, impaling yourself on him even more.
Your arms wrapped around his neck tighter, fingers entangled in his hair as he lifted your body and used it as he wanted to, to get what he came for.
"I'm so close, so close." he breathed into your ear. "I want to feel you again, give it to me. Give it to me!"
As if on command, your body gave in. Your walls trembled and squeezed around his manhood, you clung to him tighter as he now pressed you hard and violently against his cock. But Marcus was close too and soon you felt his body tense up and he poured into you, filling you up with his warm seed.
You were both panting, your bodies still sweaty and hot. His heartbeat mixed with yours and no matter how many breaths you took, it still wasn't enough.
"You're definitely not a dream." he murmured, kissing your shoulder gently.
"How can you be so sure?" you giggled, looking fondly at his blissful face.
"The Gods would have to be incredibly cruel if they let me experience immortality with you and then ordered me to return to mortal life." his fingers tenderly stroked your back "You have to be real."Â
You kissed him tenderly feeling indescribable love for this man. At the same time, however, a small flame of anxiety rose in your heart thinking about the upcoming day.
He was torn from his sleep by the quiet sound of the door closing, and then your footsteps on the stone floor. He lazily rubbed his eyelids and opened them, noticing you pouring yourself a glass of water.
"Why did you get dressed?" His voice was hoarse, and it gave you shivers "I didn't say I was done with you."
You smiled, walking over to the bed and sitting on its edge "You were done with me at least three times last night, General." you noticed, leaning down and kissing his soft lips "You should rest your loins."
"I'll rest after death. Right now, I just want to keep my cock between your thighs, where it belongs." he replied "I've been thinking about it for almost four years and I have no intention of giving you up now."
Marcus noticed the smile disappearing from your face, and your gaze wandered to the window open to the garden. He knew that look. Something was worrying you and occupying your mind.
He sat down on the bed, his hand tenderly stroking your arm. "What's wrong, my dear? Something's on your mind."
"Marcus... So much has happened since you left." You said quietly. "I don't even know where to start... It all scares me so much."
"What do you mean?" he asked. "Tell me, because I can see how much you're struggling."
He saw you nervously squeezing your fingers, and your eyes avoiding his gaze. Finally, you stood up and took a few steps. Marcus watched you carefully as he put on his robe, a strange fear growing in his heart.Â
What if this was all just a dream? What if you tell him to wake up now?
You were already opening your mouth to say something when a commotion in the hallway and quick footsteps tore your attention away. The door opened wide and a small boy rushed into the room.
"Mommy!" he called, running up to you and wrapping his small arms around your legs.Â
Right behind him, a woman in a servant's robe ran in, apologizing from the entrance. "My lady, he wanted to see you so much. I told him you had a guest, but he..."
"Nothing happened, Tullia." You replied, smiling faintly, clearly embarrassed. "Please, take him to the garden." You ran your fingers through the boy's dark, curly hair. "I'll see you in a moment, okay, little bug?"
The boy smiled and grabbed the servant's hand, gave Marcus a quick glance with his brown eyes, and left the room, leaving you in complete silence.
You could clearly feel the tension that had grown between you. You wrapped your arms around yourself, as if you wanted to hide, and looked up at Marcus. Surprise was written on his face. His dark eyebrows furrowed, and his jaw clenched. He stared at the door, and only your voice made him look at you.
"I didn't know how to tell you this..." you whispered "I've been planning this in my head for almost four years, and now I'm standing in front of you and I'm speechless."
"You're a mother." His voice was low, you nodded "All this time I thought you were waiting for me, and you..."
"Marcus, let me explain, please." You wanted to approach him, but he just raised his hand, and you froze.
He swallowed, and his dark eyes were fixed on you like daggers ready to attack "Before I left we promised each other... You promised me that you would wait for me. That you would be faithful to me."
"And I was." You groaned.
"Don't lie to me!" he roared, and you stepped back, scared "For four years I lived only thanks to the thought that you were waiting for me, that you loved me despite everything. And now? You promised me!"
"Let me explain, Marcus." Your eyes stung from the tears that were seeping into your eyelids. "You don't understand..."
He was like a beast locked in a cage. His eyes darkened and his hands clenched into fists. It was the first time he looked at you with such contempt and disappointment, and your heart was breaking with every passing second.
"I thought you were devoted to me. That you committed to waiting for me, if I knew you were just a whore..."
These words were the last straw that broke the camel's back. You suddenly straightened up and raised your head, looking at Marcus defiantly.
"Don't talk to me about commitment, devotion and loyalty when that's what I've been doing for four years." you said sharply, you saw that he opened his mouth, but this time you didn't let him get a word in. "I was pregnant when you left Rome with the army. For many months I hid it from my surroundings, but I still heard the whispers and gossip. I carried him under my heart, gave birth to him and I raised him alone, despite everything. Despite the lack of guarantee that you'll come back. So you have no right to talk to me about commitment and loyalty, or judge me without knowing everything! Julius is your son. You can either accept it or leave."Â
Marcus looked as if you had stabbed him at that moment. There was silence and only the laughter coming from the garden tore you out of this freeze. The General approached the door leading to the garden. Between the bushes and flowers he saw the silhouettes of a few boys playing, including the one who called you mother.
"I didn't know..." he said quietly, his eyes following the boy carefully.
"How were you supposed to know?"
"Call him."
"Marcus, please..." you whispered, a cold shiver running down your spine.
He looked at you, but you couldn't read anything on his face. "Call him, please. Or I will." He could see, however, that you were unable to utter a word. "Julius! Come here, boy."
The sounds of fun faded away and after a moment you heard the shuffling of sandals as the boy approached you, dragging a wooden sword behind him. He stopped in front of Marcus, but his frightened gaze went straight to you, afraid that he had done something wrong.
Marcus looked at him carefully, towering over the boy. Finally, he spoke.
"Do you know who I am?"
Julius's eyes went to the man's face. He nodded.
"A general. Mom told me." he said quietly. "A soldier. Like my dad."
You saw Marcus give you a quick look, but he couldn't resist asking another question. "Where's your father, boy?"
"At war. Far away." He looked down and shuffled his shoes. "Mom says he's brave."
"And are you brave?"
You covered your mouth with your hand to hold back a sob as Julius shook his head.
"I'm not. Sometimes I'm scared, so then I go to mom."
Marcus crouched down in front of the boy so that their faces were at the same height. Your heart skipped a beat at the sight of the resemblance between them.
"Where did you get that sword?" Marcus continued.
Julius visibly perked up. "Mom gave it to me. To make me brave."
"Will you show it to me?"
The boy handed him his wooden sword and Marcus looked at it. "It's a very good sword." Julius' face lit up with a smile.
He accepted the sword back from the General and you had the impression that he stood more straight and proud. Marcus looked at him for a moment longer, then ruffled his hair asking him to go back to playing.
"I didn't know what to tell him when he started asking about his father." You started quietly as Marcus watched the boy who had already run after his friends. "I didn't know if you'd ever come back... I wanted to believe it, but he needed answers. That's all I could give him."
"He is..."
"Perfect." You finished for him. "He's smart, empathetic, sensitive and not at all as cowardly as he says. He's afraid of storms, so he comes to me at night."
Marcus turned around looking at you with tenderness. You noticed tears in his eyes and after a moment they ran down your cheeks.
"I wanted him to be safe." You sobbed. "I thought that when you came back and saw him... Every day I saw you in his eyes."
Warm hands grabbed your face as Marcus put his forehead to yours. You placed your hands on his, trying to calm your breathing.
"I'm sorry..." he whispered "I beg you, forgive me for doubting you. I didn't expect this. The thought that you could marry someone else, give him children..."
"How could I do that? I gave my heart to you, Marcus. For eternity."
Warm lips brushed yours.
"You gave me a son. You're so brave. Too good for me... I donât deserve you and him." he whispered "I'm sorry I doubted you, my love."
"Please, don't talk about it anymore. Just get to know him, and you'll surely love him too."
"But will he love me?" doubt sounded in his voice "Julius doesn't know his father."
You tenderly stroked his face, wanting to erase all worries from him.
"Julius knows his father is brave, strong, and that he loved me more than anything in his life. He will welcome you with open arms, Marcus. Just give yourself a chance. Give us all a chance."Â
He nodded and snuggled up to you with all his might. When he returned to Rome in glory, his greatest dream was to see you again. And you gave him so much more. You gave him more than the Emperor could.
You gave him life.
âââ
Thank you for your time.

Charles Leclerc x witch!Reader
Summary: famously non-superstitious Charles takes drastic measures to break the Monaco curse
Charles rubs his temples as he stares at the phone, mentally rehearsing how heâs going to convince you to meet with him. He knows itâs a long shot â from what his mother told him, youâre not exactly eager to use your ⌠abilities, as she called them. But heâs desperate at this point after years of the Monaco curse haunting him.
He takes a deep breath and taps the call button. It rings once, twice, three times before you finally pick up with a cautious âHello?â
âY/N? Hi, this is Charles Leclerc. I was given your number by my mother ...â His voice trails off as an awkward silence stretches between you.
Finally you respond, sounding confused. âPascale? But why would she ...â
Charles rushes to explain. âShe said you might be able to help me with ⌠well, with breaking a curse of sorts. One thatâs been plaguing me for years at the Monaco Grand Prix.â He pauses, cringing a little at how ridiculous he sounds saying it out loud.
Thereâs another long pause before you let out a soft sigh. âI shouldâve known this would happen eventually. Listen, I only do that kind of thing for family emergencies these days. Curses and spellwork ⌠itâs not something I take lightly.â
âI understand,â Charles says quickly. âBut you have to know what the Monaco Grand Prix means to me. Itâs my home race, the most meaningful one on the calendar for me. And yet, every single year something goes wrong â mechanical failures, crashes, bad strategy calls, communication issues. Itâs like Iâm cursed to never win it.â
Youâre silent for a moment, seeming to consider his words. âIâm aware of the ⌠situation,â you say finally. âBut even if I did agree to look into it, breaking an actual curse isnât something that happens overnight. It would take time and effort.â
âIâll give you anything you need â time, money, whatever it takes,â Charles insists. âJust ⌠please. Iâm desperate here. My heart canât keep taking these kinds of blows.â
Another pause, then a resigned sigh. âOkay, fine. But you have to promise to take this seriously and listen to what I say. No skepticism, no brushing it off as some kind of joke. This is real to me.â
Relief floods through Charles. âYes, absolutely, I promise. When can you come by? Iâm staying in Monaco until the race next weekend.â
âIâll need a little while to prepare,â you say slowly. âBut ⌠I can try to come by Tuesday? Weâll need to talk more about this in person.â
âTuesday is perfect,â Charles agrees eagerly. âTruly, thank you for this. Iâll make sure youâre well compensated for your time.â
You let out a small huff of laughter. âYou keep your championship hopes, Iâll keep my soul. Weâll call it even.â
A bemused smile crosses Charlesâ face at that. âWhatever you say. Iâll see you Tuesday?â
âYes. Iâll be there Tuesday.â You hang up abruptly, leaving Charles staring at the phone with a mixture of hope and trepidation. He has no idea what heâs getting himself into ⌠but heâs willing to try anything at this point.
Two days later, you show up at Charlesâ apartment looking rather apprehensive. He ushers you inside, eyes raking over you with obvious curiosity. Youâre younger than he expected, maybe mid-twenties, with a casual air and slight frame that doesnât exactly scream âall-powerful witchâ.
Still, he tries to withhold any skepticism as promised. âThanks for coming. Can I get you anything? Some wine, or ...â
You shake your head. âIâm fine, thanks. Iâd rather just get down to business if thatâs okay.â
Charles nods and you both settle onto the couch, an anticipatory silence stretching out. Finally you clear your throat. âSo. Tell me more about this ⌠curse.â
And so he does, relaying in exhaustive detail the string of unlikely disasters that have befallen him at nearly every Monaco Grand Prix since he started in Formula 2. Crashes, mechanical failures, pit stops gone wrong, you name it ⌠itâs like the racing gods have it out for him every year on his home streets.
You listen patiently, nodding along, your expression unreadable. When he finishes, youâre quiet for a long moment before speaking. âYou know curses and superstitions have existed in motorsports for decades, right? Itâs a high-adrenaline, high-risk environment ⌠prime territory for that kind of thing to take root.â
Charles frowns. âAre you saying you donât believe me?â
âIâm not saying that.â You shake your head. âIâm just ⌠managing expectations here. Breaking an entrenched curse, if thatâs even what this is, isnât easy. Itâll take much more than a couple of days of spellwork.â
He lets out a frustrated breath, scrubbing a hand over his face. âSo youâre telling me you canât help.â
âI didnât say that.â You eye him levelly. âIâm saying this is going to require time, patience, and an open mind from you. If youâre willing to put in that kind of commitment, then Iâll do what I can. But you have to go into this knowing it might not work.â
Charles is silent for a long moment, weighing his options. Finally he nods. âOkay. Youâre right, Iâll stop being skeptical and doubting this. Iâm ready to fully commit, whatever that takes.â
A small smile flits across your face and you nod. âAlright then. Iâll need to gather some supplies first, do you have anything personal I can use? Something meaningful, something that represents your driving?â
Charles scrambles up to rummage through his drawers, finally emerging with a battered red fireproof racing glove, handing it over to you. âWill this work? My godfather gave it to me when he first started teaching me to kart.â
You take it with a nod, turning it over in your hands. âItâs perfect. Iâll need to attune it and prepare a few ⌠components.â You glance up at him. âThis may take me a day or two. But after that, I can try to get a sense of what weâre dealing with.â
He nods, feeling that flicker of hope rekindle in his chest. âSounds good. Let me know if you need anything else.â
You rise, slipping the glove into your bag. âI will. And Charles?â You hesitate, looking almost nervous for the first time since you arrived. âI know weâve only just met, but ⌠I want you to understand how serious Iâm taking this. Messing with forces like curses ⌠itâs not something I do lightly. If I canât help in the end, itâs not for lack of trying, okay?â
Something about your sincere tone puts Charles at ease and he nods. âI know. Thank you for this ⌠really.â
A shy smile ghosts across your lips before you slip out, leaving Charles alone with his doubts and hopes alike. Over the next couple of days, he tries to distract himself with race prep and strategy meetings, but his mind keeps drifting back to you and your mysterious preparations. Heâs not sure whether to feel hopeful or just plain foolish for entertaining all of this curse nonsense.
Finally, Thursday afternoon rolls around and you arrive once more at his door, looking oddly serene. You accept his offered glass of wine this time as you settle on the couch, clutching the battered racing glove and a few other strange items.
âOkay,â you say, taking a fortifying breath. âIâve done what I can to attune myself to your energy and prepare. I should be able to at least get a sense now of what weâre dealing with.â
Charles nods, feeling an anxious flutter in his chest as you close your eyes, seeming to slip into some kind of trance-like state. The seconds tick by, tension building in the air around you. Just when heâs about to break the silence, your eyes fly open with a gasp.
âWow,â you breathe out, looking utterly stunned. âThis is ⌠wow.â
âWhat?â Charles prods urgently. âWhat did you see?â
You shake your head, almost looking scared now. âIâve never encountered anything like this. The sheer scale, the power ⌠Charles, this isnât just some simple bad luck curse. This is dark, powerful magic rooted over years and years. Maybe even generations.â
A leaden feeling sinks into the pit of Charlesâ stomach at your ominous words. âSo youâre saying you canât break it?â
âI didnât say that.â You draw in a steadying breath. âBut itâs not going to be easy. Or quick. This is going to take serious ritual work over an extended period of time. Iâll need more supplies, maybe some help from others. Itâs ⌠a huge undertaking.â
You look up at Charles, expression grave. âBut I think I can do it. If youâre willing to fully commit and see this through, no matter how long it takes or what I need from you, then Iâll put everything I have into breaking this curse.â
Charles stares at you for a long moment, feeling the weight of what youâre saying. This is so much bigger than he ever imagined. Part of him wants to run from the sheer enormity of it all.
But then he pictures it â finally winning his home race after all these years, the crowd roaring as he drinks in the euphoric feeling. No more bad luck, no more disasters clouding his joy. Just pure triumph.
His jaw sets in determination as he meets your eyes. âWhatever it takes. Iâm in.â
A slow smile spreads across your face and you nod. âOkay then. Weâll get started right away. This may get ⌠intense at times. But Iâll be right here with you every step of the way.â
âThank you,â Charles says fervently. âTruly, thank you for taking this on.â
âDonât thank me yet,â you reply, something sparking in your eyes. âWeâve got work to do.â
And just like that, you dive into preparation mode â making lists, sending messages, gathering spell ingredients and components that have Charles raising his eyebrows more than once. He tries to follow along as best he can, but itâs like a foreign language to him.
After a while, he canât help but ask. âSo ⌠did you always know you could do this kind of thing? The witchcraft, I mean?â
You pause, considering his question. âItâs a family tradition, passed down. My grandmother started teaching me from a very young age. But Iâll be honest ⌠I never fully embraced it until recently.â
Charles feels himself grow curious. âWhat changed your mind?â
A strange look crosses your face and youâre quiet for a moment before replying. âMy grandmother was ill. The doctors had ⌠given up, more or less. So in desperation, I tried to help the only way I knew how. And it ⌠worked, somehow. After that, it was hard to keep denying what I could do.â
âWow,â Charles says softly. âThatâs amazing. I canât even imagine ...â
You shrug, suddenly looking almost shy. âItâs a lot, I know. Probably hard to wrap your head around. Which is why I appreciate you being so open-minded about this.â
Charles gives you a crooked smile. âWell, Iâm relying on you here. I figure I should at least return the favor and be open-minded.â
A surprising laugh escapes you and you shake your head in amusement. âYouâve got a point there.â
A surprisingly comfortable silence lapses between you, broken only when you glance at your watch. âAlright, enough waiting around. We should get back to work if we want to be ready before race day.â
Charles feels nervous anticipation flutter in his chest again. âYou really think we can pull this off that quickly?â
âWe have to try,â you reply, already focused and in work mode once more. âJust be prepared ⌠this isnât going to be easy for either of us.â
Charles swallows hard and nods. âIâm ready. Letâs do this.â
Over the next several days, Charles is swept up in a whirlwind of strange rituals and practices â chanting, incantations, symbolic offerings, things he never couldâve imagined before this week. You lead him through it all with a calm patience, guiding him every step of the way.
Itâs completely draining, leaving him wrung out and exhausted every night ⌠but he canât deny the noticeable shift he feels with each passing day too. Itâs almost like a weight, a cloud of dread heâs carried for years, is slowly dissipating. He tries not to get his hopes up, but itâs hard ⌠especially with the way your face glows with quiet pride whenever your eyes meet his.
Finally, the night before the race arrives. Youâve worked practically around the clock except for when Charles had to leave for free practice and qualifying, both of you barely sleeping or eating as you poured everything into breaking the curse.
As the sun sets over Monacoâs famed harbors and hills, you finally seem to pause, taking a deep breath. âOkay, I think ⌠I think thatâs everything we can do for now.â
Charles stares at you with a mixture of hope and trepidation. âYou mean ⌠itâs done? The curse is broken?â
You exhale slowly, looking suddenly drained but at peace. âAs much as it can be, at least. The groundwork is laid, the ritual completed. But actually severing that kind of ancient tie ...â You shake your head. âWeâll have to see what happens tomorrow. Iâve done everything I can.â
Relief and gratitude wash over Charles as he reaches out to grasp your hand impulsively. âThank you,â he says fervently. âFor all of this ⌠I canât even begin to express how much it means.â
You seem surprised by his emotional outburst for a moment before squeezing his hand back gently. âYouâre very welcome, Charles. Iâll be honest, I wasnât sure I had it in me at first. But you put so much faith in me. That meant everything.â
He holds your gaze, feeling an unexpected sense of connection pass between you. So much has happened in such a short span of time â he came to you a skeptic, but now he feels like heâs been through a transformative experience. And you ⌠youâve put your entire being into helping him, far beyond any reasonable expectation.
The air almost seems to crackle with tension as you both search each otherâs eyes. Then, as if drawn by an unseen force, you start leaning towards each other infinitesimally. Charlesâ heart kicks up a staccato rhythm as your faces inch closer together ...
Until finally, your lips meet in a soft, almost hesitant kiss. Itâs achingly gentle and sweet, at odds with the intensity thrumming underneath. When you finally part, Charles feels almost dazed, his heart pounding.
âWow,â he breathes out, unable to tear his eyes away from yours. âThat was ...â
âYeah,â you murmur back, looking equally affected. âIt was.â
A silence stretches out as you simply gaze at each other. So much has passed between you in these short days â an entire lifetimeâs worth of intimacy and connection. Itâs overwhelming and exciting all at once.
Finally, Charles seems to shake himself out of the dazed reverie. Clearing his throat, he says gruffly, âAnyway, um ⌠thank you again. I should probably try to get some rest before tomorrow.â
âRight, of course,â you respond quickly, flushing slightly. âThe race. Yes, thatâs ⌠probably a good idea.â
An awkward pause hangs in the air before Charles blurts out, âYouâll be there though, right? At the race, I mean? As my guest?â
A slow smile spreads across your face and you nod. âI wouldnât miss it for the world.â
He returns your smile, feeling lighter than he has in years. âOkay, good. Thatâs really good.â
With that, and one last lingering look, you gather your things and slip out, leaving Charles alone with his whirling thoughts and cautiously rising hope. He has no idea what tomorrow will bring â triumph or despair. But for the first time in his life, he feels like heâs not facing it alone.
As he climbs into bed that night, his mind keeps drifting back to that unexpected, electric kiss and the connection you seemed to share, if only for a moment. He canât stop replaying it, the softness of your lips, the warmth of your skin ...
With a groan, Charles rolls over, trying in vain to shut off his thoughts. He needs to rest. Tomorrow is everything heâs been working towards for years â his best hope at finally ending the Monaco curse. And youâll be there, your faith and magic bound to his dream.
Finally, Charles manages to drift into a restless sleep, his unconscious mind swirling with visions of chequered flags and your smiling face in the crowd. Whatever happens, he knows nothing will ever be the same after tomorrow.
***
The next morning dawns bright and clear, a perfect Monaco day. As Charles gets ready to head to the circuit, he canât shake the anxious flutter in his chest.
This is it. His moment of truth.
Just before heâs about to leave, a soft knock comes at the door. When he opens it, youâre standing there looking almost as nervous as he feels.
âHey,â you say with a small smile. âThought Iâd come wish you luck in person. And ⌠give you one last thing for the race.â
You hold out a small silk pouch which Charles takes curiously. Opening it up, he pulls out the same battered racing glove heâd given you days ago, now embroidered with strange runic symbols.
âI imbued it with every protection ritual and good luck charm I could think of,â you explain. âAs an extra boost on top of the work weâve already done. Maybe itâll help settle those pre-race jitters too.â
Charles feels a wave of affection crest over him as he looks at the glove, then back up at you. âYouâre incredible, you know that?â He says softly. âTruly, I donât know how to thank you enough for everything.â
You duck your head shyly, but he can see the pleased flush on your cheeks. âYou donât need to thank me. Just go out there and get that win youâve been waiting for, okay?â
âI will,â Charles promises fervently. He pauses, then seems to make a split-second decision, stepping forward to cup your face in his hands. âAnd when I do ⌠Iâm taking you out for the biggest celebration Monaco has ever seen.â
Your eyes widen slightly, but you give a breathless little nod. âItâs a date then.â
The corner of Charlesâ mouth quirks up. âItâs a date,â he echoes, letting his thumb brush over your cheekbone lingeringly before forcing himself to step back. âI should get going. But Iâll see you out there later?â
âWouldnât miss it,â you confirm, looking almost as flustered as he suddenly feels. âGood luck, Charles.â
He shoots you one last, blazing look before tearing himself away, hurrying out to his waiting car. The entire drive to the circuit, his heart is pounding wildly in his chest. He canât decide if itâs just pre-race adrenaline or something more ⌠something sparked by you and that searing, promising look you gave him.
By the time he arrives, gets into his race suit and fireproofs, and settles into the cramped cockpit of his Ferrari, Charles is wound up like a tightly-coiled spring. His eyes keep drifting over to the embroidered glove still clutched in his hand, feeling the weight of everything it represents â your devotion, your magic, and the hope of finally breaking free from years of heartbreak.
As the cars are wheeled out onto the grid and the pre-race festivities begin, Charles scans the garage until his eyes finally land on you. Youâre standing with a perfect viewpoint, eyes already locked on him, and when you catch his gaze you mouth âGood luckâ with an encouraging smile.
A determination like heâs never felt before surges through Charlesâ veins. Heâs going to win this race, not just for himself but for you too after everything youâve sacrificed. Giving a firm nod, he slips the glove beneath his suit and grips the steering wheel tightly, watching the lights flick from red.
And as they finally go green and the cars roar away, Charles leans into the first turn in pure focus and exhilaration. For once, his mind is clear of any doubt or dread about the Monaco curse. He can only think about racing, about achieving his dream ...
And afterwards, celebrating that dream coming true with you.
***
As the deliriously happy celebrations continue around him at Monza, Charles can barely catch his breath. The euphoria of a hard-fought victory is still pulsing through his veins, that cherished feeling never getting old no matter how many times he experiences it.
Heâs in the middle of accepting congratulations from his mechanics when he sees a Sky Sports reporter, making a beeline for him with her microphone in hand. Trying to tamp down his giddy smile slightly, he turns to face her.
âCharles! Huge congratulations on another amazing win today,â the reporter gushes as soon as she reaches him. âYouâre really hitting your stride this season, what a comeback from the early struggles.â
âThank you. Yes, the team has been doing incredible work to get me a car capable of winning,â Charles replies graciously. âIâm just thrilled to be able to deliver for them.â
âAnd for the fans too, who have been utterly captivated watching this gripping title battle unfold,â she continues. âSpeaking of which, I have to ask â the viewers have been flooding us with one question in particular recently. Whatâs the story behind those little symbols that keep popping up on your race suit collar? Some kind of good luck charms maybe?â
At the mention of the embroidered symbols, Charles feels his lips quirking up into a small, unconscious smile. He should have known someone would eventually ask about them â the fans on social media have certainly been speculating endlessly.
âAh, you spotted those?â He says lightly. âWell, itâs um ⌠itâs actually something my girlfriend does for me before every race weekend.â
The reporterâs eyes widen with obvious interest, scenting a prime bit of gossip. âYour girlfriend? We had no idea you were dating someone, Charles! Do tell us more.â
Charles lets out a slightly self-conscious chuckle, feeling the tips of his ears going pink. Heâs intensely private about his personal life, preferring to keep you out of the spotlight as much as possible. But the story behind the symbols is too meaningful to brush off entirely.
âYes, well my girlfriend prefers to stay out of the public eye,â he explains carefully. âLetâs just say she comes from a rather ⌠unique background and heritage. She has certain talents and practices that are very important to her.â
The reporter blinks at him in obvious confusion. âWait, is she some kind of ⌠psychic or something?â
âNot exactly,â Charles demurs, fighting back an amused grin at the mental image. âMore like ⌠well, I suppose you could call her a witch, of sorts.â
A shocked silence falls over the surrounding reporters who have tuned into their exchange. For a long beat, no one seems to know how to react to such an unexpected revelation. Charles doesnât think heâs ever seen the media look so bemused before.
Finally, the reporter seems to find her voice again. âA ⌠witch?â She repeats slowly. âAs in, like, cauldrons and broomsticks and the whole bit?â
Charles lets out a full laugh at that. âWell, not quite like that, no. But she does practice certain ⌠rituals and magics, letâs say. Most of which, Iâll admit, still seems completely mad to me.â
The reporterâs expression is one of fascination now as she leans in closer with her microphone. âAnd she does these rituals and ⌠magics ... for you? Before races?â
âExactly,â Charles confirms with a nod. âShe adds protective symbols and charms onto things like my race suit, my helmet, sometimes other items depending on the ritual. Itâs her way of looking out for me, of sending some extra luck and security my way on race weekends.â
He pauses, his smile softening unconsciously as he thinks about you. âIâll be honest, I was pretty skeptical of it all at first. The whole concept of witchcraft and curses seemed ... well, rather far-fetched, you know? But sheâs been so devoted to her practices, so sincere in her beliefs about the positive energies she wants to send my way ⌠how could I not start to believe in it too?â
The media seems to be hanging on his every word now, caught up in this bizarre but undeniably romantic tale. The reporter lets out a wistful sigh. âWell, itâs clearly been working like a charm so far this season! Maybe the rest of the grid had better start looking into getting their own race day witches on board.â
A ripple of laughter spreads through the group at that as Charles shakes his head in amusement. âYes, I can see that becoming very popular around the paddock.â
âSo does she come to all the races then, your witch girlfriend?â Another reporter pipes up curiously. âIs she wandering around doing spellwork in the backrooms?â
âOh, no no, nothing like that,â Charles chuckles. âShe prefers to keep things ⌠subtle, letâs say. Just the little symbols and charms. Though she is here today actually.â
The reporterâs eyes light up like sheâs just struck journalistic gold. âShe is? And does she get to celebrate with you after wins like this?â
A soft, almost shy smile plays across Charlesâ lips as he nods. âYes, whenever her schedule allows she tries to come to the races. And weâll definitely be celebrating together tonight, just us.â
He gets a slightly far-off look in his eyes, seeming to get lost in the thought for a moment. The reporters watching on collectively hold their breaths, waiting for him to divulge more juicy details about this mysterious girlfriend.
Finally, Charles seems to catch himself, clearing his throat. âBut anyway, I should really get back to the team to share this incredible day with them properly.â
The reporter makes one last attempt. âOh, go on, just give us her name at least? Enquiring minds want to know about this charming race day witch of yours!â
Charles throws her an apologetic look. âYou know I have to protect her privacy. All I can say is ⌠sheâs pretty remarkable. And sheâll probably hex me if I start giving out too many details about her!â
Laughs and groans of disappointment rise up from the reporters at being denied the full scoop. But they know better than to push Charles too far. With some final shouted congratulations, they gradually disperse, no doubt rushing off to publish their articles about the shocking revelation of Charles Leclercâs witchy girlfriend.
As the small crowd clears out, Charles feels a light touch on his elbow and turns to find you standing there, eyes sparkling with amusement and fondness.
âWell, youâve certainly given the paddock something to gossip about now,â you tease lightly. âA charming race day witch, am I?â
Charles makes a show of rolling his eyes, even as his cheeks flush a bit at your teasing. âWhat was I supposed to tell them? You know how much I hate discussing our personal lives with the media.â
âI know, I know.â You rise on your tiptoes to press a soft kiss to his cheek. âIâm just giving you a hard time. I thought it was ⌠sweet, actually. How you talked about my practices.â
Charlesâ expression softens as he gazes down at you. Ever since that electric evening in Monaco when you first worked your magic on the infamous curse (and him), your relationship has deepened into something truly beautiful. At first, he admits he was still somewhat skeptical of the mystical rituals and protective charms you claimed to do for him.
But race after race, as the victories kept mounting with no traces of bad luck or mishaps, heâs become nearly as devoted a believer as you. And it goes far beyond just race day superstitions now. Seeing the depth of your spirituality, your connection to unseen mystical forces, has opened his eyes in so many ways.
He pulls you flush against him, cupping your face tenderly as he murmurs, âI meant every word. What you do ⌠it means everything to me, you know that right? Whether the magic is real or not, your rituals give me a sense of peace and security Iâve never felt before.â
You gaze up at him with those captivating eyes that never fail to make his heart stutter. âI know. And thatâs why Iâll never stop doing them for you. You make me feel ⌠connected. Vital. Like my gifts can actually make a positive impact, instead of being some weird family quirk.â
Charles lets his thumb gently trace the delicate line of your cheekbone, drinking in every detail of your beloved face. âThey do make an impact, mon cĹur. Probably more than either of us can comprehend.â
He draws you into a lingering kiss, one that sends delicious sparks of heat ricocheting through his body. When you finally break apart, youâre both smiling and slightly flushed.
âMmm, I should really start charging the team for services rendered, if thatâs the payment plan,â you joke breathlessly.
Charles arches one eyebrow at you. âTrust me, they would go broke in a week trying to keep up.â
You let out a full laugh at that, the musical sound making his heart swell. He loves this â the moments of playful intimacy and banter, feeling so incredibly grounded and content with you. Before you came into his life, such tender domesticity always seemed like an impossible dream given his lifestyle.
Pulling you close once more, he nuzzles into the soft skin of your neck, inhaling your familiar scent. âLetâs go home,â he murmurs huskily. âI have a victory to properly celebrate ⌠and I require your particular skills again tonight.â
You shiver slightly in his arms, drawing back just enough to fix him with a heated look. âMy skills are always at your service. Shall we summon a portal or ...â
He huffs out a laugh at your playful tone, secretly loving when you tease him about the more fanciful aspects of witchcraft. âWhy donât we just take the car for now? No need to alarm the locals by apparating in the middle of the paddock.â
Chuckling, you lean up to steal one more lingering kiss before murmuring, âDeal. Now letâs get out of here before that reporter comes sniffing around for more gossip.â
Taking his hand, you start leading him away from the crowded pit lane and back toward the nearby motorhomes. With every step, Charles can feel the thrum of excitement building in his veins, fueled by much more than just the adrenaline of his race win.
Thereâs a steady warmth pulsing deep within him now, a sense of gratitude and contentment that suffuses his very soul. Ever since that fateful day in Monaco when he let you into his life, everything has shifted into vibrant new focus.
Heâs never been superstitious, not really â he prides himself on being practical, logical, leaving little room for spiritual or religious beliefs. And yet ⌠with you, a whole unseen mystical world has opened up to him in the most extraordinary way. Even if he still doesnât fully understand the intricacies of your rituals and practices, he knows with certainty how they make him feel.
Protected. Centered. Empowered.
Loved, more deeply than heâs ever experienced.
As you make your way hand-in-hand through the chaos of post-race celebrations, trading giddy grins and teasing jokes, Charles feels it all shining outward from his very core â past the fame, the accomplishments, the never-ending pressures of being an elite athlete. With you by his side, heâs found a serenity and sense of self far beyond what any championship could provide.
So tonight, as you cuddle together and let your energies flow over him in that uniquely intimate way, heâll pour every ounce of devotion and love he feels right back into you. Because in the end, thatâs the most powerful force of all â one that transcends even the wildest of your spells and charms.
As long as you two are bound together on this path, no force in the universe could ever curse him again.

The Kinder Beast
Pairing: Aemond Targaryen x Reader Word Count: 13.3k words Warnings: NSFW, attempted sexual assault, groping, oral (m and f!receiving), fingering, multiple orgasms, unprotected sex, technically coercion, thus dub!con, virginity loss, p in v sex, creampie... A/N: I wrote like at least half of this in one night and then stopped to sleep and ruined my streak. This was supposed to be done like three days ago but I had a bit of a menty b for like...a full day and that didn't happen. Anyway, enjoy me (finally) getting around to writing for Aemond. Thanks! <3
He was always watching you.
Your skin crawled with the feeling of his gaze burning holes into your flesh. Always on you, always watching, daring to get you alone. You could never escape him.
You feel it at dinner as you pour cups of wine, one cup far more than the others. You feel it after dinner while you help the other servants to clean the table. Sometimes it is almost as though you can feel more than one gaze.
It haunts you.
Even as you're alone in the servantsâ chambers where all the servants of the royal family slept after everyone has found sleep, you feel it. It's a horrifying thing, to feel so vulnerable so often.
You keep your head down at dinner, holding a pitcher of wine steady in your grasp and hoping against all hope that he would forget you were there. But the gods seemed to laugh at you and your naĂŻve hopes.
âAye,â he calls, raising his cup. âServing girl.â
You lay your eyes on Prince Aegon, moving quickly as you cover the distance between you. Every inch demolished is an ounce of your bravery pouring down a drain until you are standing right by him.
You have to be careful tipping the pitcher, lest you spill the expensive drink all over his clothes, a hundred times more expensive than the wine. Though your fingers grip it tight and your palms shake the metal, you successfully manage your task with no issue.
It's as you're fixing the pitcher from its tilt when a greedy hand gropes the cheek of your ass. Your whole body jumps and you close your eyes, pretending all is well and that you are simply imagining the whole ordeal. You breathe in, straightening up and wishing he would let you go. Again, the gods seem to defy your every hope as Prince Aegon's hand begins to discreetly rub.
âGirl.â
Your gaze shoots across the table to an icy one unlike the greed in his brother's eyes. He watches you, his eye dark and his posture so full of poise and eleganceâcontrasting with Prince Aegon's jaded, dulled position beside you.
Prince Aemond raises his cup toward you, inclining his head back as he sends a gentler order. âMore wine, please.â
You nod, keeping your gaze to the ground as you were meant to, and you make your way to his side. Prince Aegon's hand is forced to let go of you, and a weight is lifted off your shouldersâeven if the heat of his hungry gaze bore holes into the back of your head that no amount of food or wine would satiate.
Prince Aemond sets his cup down, and you fill it. And when you've finished, he nods softly. âThank you.â
For a split moment, your eyes meet. Prince Aemond's gaze is much more considerate than his brother's, but it is no less intense. His stare is dark, dangerous. He watches you, and he doesn't stop watching. Just as Prince Aegon never halts his scrutiny, neither does his brother'sâat least when you're in the room. Prince Aemond, if nothing else, is kind enough not to stare when he's not in the room.
Prince Aegon never looks away.
You feel like a bird, a bird locked in a cage to be forced to sing, to be looked at and spectated until they lose interest and snap your neck to replace it with something better, something newer and prettier than a common songbird.
Sometimes you wish they would just go on and be done with it.
âYou're welcome, my prince.â Your voice is small, a whisper. Though he seems kinder, the both of them scare you to deathâŚone considerably more than the other.
Even now, your hands tremble, the clinking of the cups on the tray you carry echoing through the hollow walls. You take a steadying breath, willing your heart to calm as you assure yourself that you'll be fine.
The door you stand before is large, imposing. The room behind it is suffocating, it's dark and full of dangers that make you want to run. The idea of crossing this threshold into a world beholding so much danger and threat leaves you shaking. But you can't leave. How you wish you could leaveâŚ
You knock carefully to announce your presence before you push open the doors and hope for the best.
You take a step inside, glancing around anxiously. âMy prince?â you call out as steadily as you can. Your body grows cold at the sight of him, lounging back in a chair with a cup in his hand.
Prince Aegon smiles devilishly at you, his eyes slightly sunken into his face, marked by exhaustion and drunkenness. âAh,â he says, gesturing toward you with a coarse hand as you continue to walk further inside, keeping your head down. âShe's brought my tea.â
The sound of a second voice washes over you in a sea of relief, and you briefly thank the gods for granting such rare mercy upon you. âIt's a shame it shall go to waste,â he says. When you glance his way, the sight of Prince Aemond fills your gaze. His eye watches you as he sits back, and his gaze never wavers. âYou and I both know you prefer your wines and ales.â
You walk to the table separating the brothers, setting the tray down. Just as you do, Prince Aegon rises to his feet, his cup in one hand as he walks over. You're nearly shaking, staring at the floor as you struggle to find your voice the closer he gets.
You have to clear your voice in order to speak. âIs- Is there anything else you needâŚmy prince?â
He smiles, coming to stand at your side, his face so close to your cheek. You can hear the way he smells you, his sigh blowing against your shoulder. âYes, there may be something you can help withâŚâ You shudder, staring at the floor and refusing to look his way.
Without turning away from you, the prince speaks. âDear brother, would you mind giving us some privacy?â
You close your eyes, willing the tears away as you try not to appear weaker than you already do. You flinch when you feel his knuckle brush your cheek.
Prince Aemond hums, clasping his hands in his lap. âBut I'm quite comfortable here,â he says matter-of-factly.
You glance up at him, a glimmer of hope in your eyes as you look upon him. He's got the smallest grin on his face, but he doesn't even look at you. He watches his brother as his annoyed glare darts his way.
Prince Aegon looks like he'll fight his brother. His hand drops from your cheek. The breath you let out is silent. âWell, there are plenty of comfortable places in this castle, Aemond. Perhaps you might find yourself there instead.â
He shrugs. âBut watch how well my boots fit perfectly when I place them here.â He lifts his feet, one after the other, to rest on the table near the tea tray. Again, he grins at his brother.
âWell, boots belong on the floor.â
âA shame for my feet, really. They do so enjoy a rest every once in a while.â
Prince Aegon's frustration is clear. He rolls his eyes and looks at you, a glimmer in his eyes that frightens you. He lowers his voice to a murmur. âThen perhaps you and I can go somewhere a little more private toâŚspeak.â
You open your mouth to say somethingâyou don't know what, likely just incoherent stammers of little value. Prince Aemond, it seems, is your ultimate savior.
âUnfortunately,â he interrupts, âthat is not possible either. You see, she is busy.â
You both look at him to elaborate. Prince Aegon glances around the messy room and shakes his head. âI don't see a job needing tending to.â
You could name a few, but you really just want to leave.
Prince Aemond is unfazed. âI do,â he counters. He looks at you. His gaze betrays no sentiment, simply focus and a bit of amusement at frustrating his brother. âGirl, you are to take His Highnessâ boots over there and shine them until they are brighter than the sun.â He tilts his head. âWe can't have the prince walking around with dirty bootsâŚÂ Do you understand?â
You nod quickly, standing a little straighter. âYes, my prince.â
He nods. âAnd they are especially disgusting, you might acquire some help while you do.â
You don't know why he is helping you, but who are you to question him when he is being so kind?
âYes, my prince.â
He turns away from you then, reaching forward to grab a cup of tea from the tray. As he stirs it, he hums. âMake haste then.â
You move quickly, nodding as you break away from Prince Aegon's presence. He huffs, rolling his eyes as he watches his brother. You snatch up the boots, stopping by the door as you leave the both of them, not daring to look either in the eye. âMy prince⌠my prince.â
You flee, and the door closes loudly behind you as you do. Aegon turns to his brother, shaking his head as he moves to sit once more. âMy boots are not disgusting.â
Aemond hums. âYou haven't seen your boots.â
~
The sound of fire and laughter and music fills the air. It's dark out, so dark it would be hard to see without the giant bonfire raging at the center. It's the most fun you've had in a while. Queen Alicent released you and a few of the other servants from duty for the night to enjoy the festivities as gratitude for hard work.
âCome on! You're no fun when you do not join the dance!â Emalia urges, pulling lightly on your arm so you would come with her and the others.
You lean back on your heels, laughing as you shake your head and balance your cup in your hand. âNo! I do not need to make a fool of myself in front of the whole dynasty by tripping over my feet and falling flat on my face, Emailia.â
She rolls her eyes. âPlease! Nobody is watching you.â
You wish that had been true.
âBesides,â she smirks at you slyly. âYou may attract a man's eye.â
âAll the more reason not to go.â She groans, unimpressed by your insistence of remaining a total bore. You smile, letting her go. âGo dance. I am perfectly content to stand here and watch.â
She hums, giving up as she turns on her heel to leave. You laugh lightly to yourself. As you cradle your cup in your hand, you raise it to your lips for a drink.
You'd been alone for no more than a minute, watching people holding hands as they danced around the roaring flames, before you had, in fact, caught a man's eye.
âDon't you look pretty tonight?â
You fumble your cup as it falls to the ground, spilling its contents over the dirt. Chills rush down your spine, devouring every slip of comfort in your body and leaving you cold. You keep your eyes down, staring at the wine in your cup as you try to find your voice buried in your distress.
His voice comes from behind you, a dark hum haunting your being. You try to keep your voice level, but it's hard when your entire body feels like it's shaking. âTh-Thank you, my prince,â you croak, your voice as quiet as can be.
Prince Aegon stands so close, you feel his body brush yours. You try not to tremble, but it's a useless task. His eyes bore into the side of your face, and you feel the heat of his gaze devouring the rest of you.
âSo pretty, I just want toâŚsteal you away.â He steps closer, his lips right by your ear as he whispers in a low voice, âWould you like that? For me to steal you away from here?â You squeeze your eyes shut, attempting to remain calm. âWe could do anything, just the two of us.â
You swallow thickly, plastering a wobbly smile on your face. âI'm sure it would beâŚa lovely opportunity my prince, but..â You open your eyes again and take the smallest step away, turning slowly toward him. He steps even closer, hardly a foot away now. âBut, um, I have to stay here with my friends⌠They'll be missing me if I go.â
Foolishly hoping to the gods that they hear your plea, you're met with the sight of his dark gaze. Your breath hitches as you take a step back. He pursues, shrugging lightly as he tilts his head.
âOr I could order you,â he says. âIf I say you must go, then they cannot argue. I am the prince, after all.â He smirks, lifting his hand to touch your cheek. You flinch, but it only makes him chuckle. âWould you like me to order you, pretty girl? To take that burden off your shoulders?â
The way he says it⌠âpretty girlâ. It makes your skin crawl. You wish you'd just gone and danced, or never shown up at all.
Your mouth opens, but words are very hard to find as you struggle to speak. âIâŚâ
You can't refuse him. You can't send him away and tell him that the thought of his hands on you makes you want to vomit. You could be punished, killed. There's no version of this where you come out safely.
His gaze burns into your skin. His hand raises to pinch your chin, and his thumb ghosts over your bottom lip. As you struggle to find an answer, to find a way out of this very dangerous situation, Aegon feels another gaze upon his own skin.
He turns his head, his eyes searching for the object of his sudden unease.
A frown overtakes his lips as his glare locks onto another. For a moment, he keeps staring. It's a silent battle of wits, a battle of will. He should be able to have whatever he wants. He's the fucking Targaryen prince, and what he wants is your bound-to-be-virgin cunt wrapped around his cock. He is owed whatever he desires.
But this icy glare is one he cannot withstand. With a huff, he drops his hand from your face. You hold your breath, glancing up carefully to see what has changed.
âBut alas,â he mumbles. âIt seems my mother is calling me.â
The shock is written all over your face, a mix of fear and surprise that has his desire for you growing in his belly. He smirks again, taking one last step into whatever space you had left as he takes your hand.
You purse your lips as he eyes bore into yours. Prince Aegon raises your knuckles to his face, slotting his nose over them as he inhales your sweet scent. You shudder as he presses his lips to the round bumps of your hand. You jump when he nips them.
His eyes peek up at you as he grins. âI will be seeing you.â He drops your hand.
You swallow thickly as he takes a couple steps back. Tentatively taking your skirts in your hands, you curtsy. âMy prince.â
He hums, and then he's gone. You stare after him, letting out a relieved breath as you come back to your senses. You bend slowly, retrieving your cup from the ground as you try to catch your breath.
When you rise to your feet, your gaze is caught by that of the prince across the field from you. He flickers at the other side of the bonfire, his gaze just as hot and just as burning as the fire itself.
He stands there and stares at you a few seconds more. Then, just like his brother, he disappears into the night.
You're left standing there, frightened to the very base of your being.
~
Quite frankly, you despise the training grounds.
It's dirty and full of spectators eager to drink in the sight of sparring princes. It even rained earlier that night, so you are left to stand in the filthy mud, holding a tray of water in your hands and waiting for the imminent end of this session.
They always train so early. Sure, you would have been awake either way, but your sleepiness mixed with the anxiety of the princes (mostly Prince Aegon) is not a good mix.
He keeps looking at you.
Prince Aegon's eyes follow you when he's not on an active attack. You do your best to keep your eyes on the wine, hoping it would keep his gaze from you. But it's hard to do so when the lingering heat of his watchful eye burns you from out to in.
You can't tell if you're grateful or not for Prince Aemond's seriosity in his training. On one hand, his hard focus on his opponent means he's not watching you. But on the otherâŚthat means Prince Aegon is not too inclined to keep his eyes forward.
You feel your arms growing tired the longer you stand there. With a sigh, you turn toward a table behind you, setting the tray down to offer your arms reprieve. You linger for a moment, closing your eyes to breathe before switching out the two pitchers of water to seem busy.
When you turn again, you nearly drop the tray onto the ground. The smallest yelp erupts from your throat as you're met with Prince Aegon's dark stare.
���Forgive me, my prince,â you nearly stutter.
He hums, grinning lightly. âThat's alright.â
You duck your head a little, balancing the tray in one hand and refilling his cup with the other. You pass it carefully to him.
âMany thanks.â
You give a short nod. âYou're welcome, prince.â
He watches you over the top of his cup as he takes generous sips. He never looks away. Itâs awful, being forced to see. You look away from his intense eyes, finding it increasingly difficult to do what he wants. But this works for him either way. He loves to see you cowerâŚ
Prince Aegon sets the cup back on the tray. Not anticipating the action, your weak grasp tilts and sends the tray askew. The cup tips off the side, and your eyes widen in panic as you watch it spill its contents all over the front of his gear.
A terrible gasp rips from your throat at the sight of it, Prince Aegon's gear drenched in water, his cup on the muddy ground, you standing there unable to figure out what to do other than grovel at his feet.
The words stumble uncontrollably from your lips, drenched in utter terror at his response. âOh, gods! I am so sorry. That was an accident. I didn't mean toâ!â
But Prince Aegon is not angry. In fact, he's amused. He chuckles to silence you. âCome now, pretty girl. No need for that.â
You stare up at him, your eyes clouded by unshed tears invoked by such sudden fear. He takes a step closer, in permanent violation of the space you have to your person. His voice is a low murmur when he speaks. âYou and I can sort this out. Just the two of us⌠in my chambers⌠tonight.â He tilts his head. âWhat do you say?â
You freeze, staring wide-eyed at the prince as you struggle to find a way to get out of this. You can't refuse him, you can't. But he isn't going to let you go. How are you meant to shed this man from your life? He has implemented himself and ensured there was no way to escape him, not without force.
Your mouth drops open but no words come out. But, as it seems to be like clockwork, temporary salvation settles over you.
âMy prince!â
You both turn your head, laying eyes on Ser Criston Cole as he holds onto Prince Aegonâs training sword. He offers it to him. âLeave the poor girl alone, and come fight your brother.â
Prince Aegon rolls his eyes, swatting a dismissive hand at his knight as he turns back to you. His smirk returns, if only for a moment. âWill I see you again?â he wonders.
âPrince Aegon!â He grunts. âLeisure is the death of men.â
âIâm coming!â
He looks back at you, setting his frustration to the side for just a moment. Youâre always interrupted, thereâs always something requiring attention. But not tonight. No, tonightâŚhe would have what he wants.
He tears his gaze away to stalk back toward his knight and his brother. Ser Criston hands him his sword. Your eyes shift, and you find Prince AemondâŚjust as you always seem to do.
He watches youâjust for a single second. A single second that always seems to last so much longer. He takes you in before blinking away, as though heâd never laid his eye on you to begin with.
You duck your head and try to forget the whole thing.
You duck your head and pray to the gods that Prince Aegon will forget the whole thingâŚ
~
âGirl.â
You close your eyes as you stop walking, planting your feet in the middle of the dimly lit hall. You hold your breath as you turn, bowing your head and properly addressing the man with a curtsey, a basket of sheets in hand. âMy prince.â
Prince Aegonâs eyes are nearly as dark as the night surrounding the castle. They always seem soâŚconsuming. Consuming in a way that begs for breath in depleted lungs. Consuming in a way that cries out for an end to the constant burning of eternal fire. You stare at the floor.
He crosses the space between you before he speaks. âI didnât see you in my chambers.â He stands right in front of you now, generous with the couple of feet he distances you withâthough he does not have much of a choice with the way you hold the basket between you.
You had hoped youâd been sly with your avoidance the night before. After he was dressed for dinner, you made quick work of tidying his chambers before you went to attend with the other servants to watch over the small feast with the royals. When he returned to his rooms, there was nothing else for you to do⌠You had no other reason to return, so you did not.
You had hoped heâd missed it.
You clear your throat. âIâm sorry, my prince.â
âWhat kept you?â He steps forward, always stepping forward.
âMy, umââ You struggle to come up with an answer quickly enough. âMy-my errands. I was caught up withâŚwith dinner.â
He tilts his head, not quite believing you as he continues his agonizingly slow advance. You find some solace, however, in his snailâs pace. It means every tiny little step you take away goes slightly unnoticed as you move to keep some distance between you and the prince.
âWell, dinner is over, and I require your assistance,â he insists. He raises his hands and takes the basket in his own hands. You try to keep your breath steady, but youâre hot with fear and anxiety. âI am your superior, am I not? You must obey me, and I say that youâŚâ he takes your basket and drops it onto the ground without regard, walking farther past it, â...must come with me. We have a few wrongs we must right.â
When the cold feeling of the wall shoots up your spine, youâre frozen with fear. You nearly choke on your words, you struggle to even breathe correctly as you look around frantically for any sign of help. But it is so late, the castle is sleeping and any other servants awake at this time of night are preoccupied with their own tasks. Even if someone was awake, clouds cover every inch of the sky, and no one wishes to be bothered with the potential of rain in the open halls.
No one is going to help you.
âForgive me, prince, butâŚâ Your pulse is loud in your ear, you can hardly hear your words over it. You swallow thickly, speaking around your stutter, âI have⌠I have other duties.â
Heâs getting frustrated now. Heâs been denied you so many times now, too many times. You donât expect him to display much patience anymore as he stands so close that your shoes touch and your arms are pinned to your chest. You can feel his breath on your face, thick with the permanent smell of wines and ales. His height over you is commanding, and you may just start crying before anything is done.
He speaks quietly, low. Itâs a threat in the disguise of a reminder, and it hurts more than a slap to the face. âYour only duties, pretty girl, are to me.â He shakes his head gently. âI will not ask you again.â
His hands find your hips, and your whole body flinches at his touch. The smallest yelp drops from your mouth as you squeeze your eyes shut. Youâre shaking. You donât actually realize itâthereâs too much happening at one timeâbut youâre shaking. It feeds Prince Aegonâs hunger.
You force your eyes open, force yourself to look him in the eye as you shake your head.
âI donât want to.â
He tuts gently, shaking his head as a terrible grin takes his lips. He even chuckles, itâs the faintest sound but itâs a chuckle and it shakes your soul. âSuch a pity,â he hums. He tilts his chin down and whispers. âYou donât have a choice.â
One of his hands raises to grasp your face, but you swat it away. Surprised by your protest, something flickers in his eyes, and you know youâve made a mistake beyond hitting a prince. He tries again, faster this time, but youâre so full of adrenaline that youâre faster. You keep smacking his hands away, squirming vastly as you try to shed his hands from you. When he does not relent, for even a moment, pressing his hips into you just to pin you into the wall, you do the unspeakable.
You slap him. Your palm meets his cheek with a force that whips his head to the sound, and you pale as you watch his skin turn pink.
The most dangerous smirk crosses his lips. He finds great pleasure in your fight. Itâs the first real fight youâve put up since the beginning of his conquest. Itâs exciting, itâs thrilling. His blood pumps at the prospect of a hunt.
He turns back to you slowly, watching you with eyes that have become so much darker. Theyâre like black tar, an oozing kind of look that melds into your skin and leaves you feeling like youâre going to die. Maybe you will.
His hands grab you so tightly that you canât possibly move him away. You fight anyway, flailing your arms and legs and trying to call out for anyone to help. You know your sounds are echoing, you can hear your shouts bouncing off the walls and filling the night⌠But part of you knows that no one will come to help.
Even if they can hear you past the thick walls, no one will come to help you.
Because heâs the prince, and you are just a servant girl. What are you to keeping their lives?
Prince Aegon wrestles you to the ground and lays you on your back, despite your protests, despite your resistance. He forces you to the ground, takes your wrists in his hands, laughs when the tears spill. You argue for him to stop, to let you go, to leave you be. You hope and pray and beg for him to listen. You curse the gods for their crueltyâyou curse the Mother for her lies.
He gathers your wrists to one hand, and you think youâll be sick when his hand gropes your breast so roughly that it hurts. âI knew you would be fun, pretty girl.â He laughs, high off the thrill. âIâve waited so long for this, itâs only fitting we make it lastââ
A harsh grunt leaves his throat when your foot finds purchase at his leg. Using all the strength you have, you manage to land a kick. His hands loosen considerably, enough for you to yank yourself from his hold. Just to give yourself more time, you kick again. This time, you manage to find purchase at his side. A string of curses falls from his lips, but you donât have time to listen to them.
As soon as youâre free, you stand to your feet and bolt down the hall. You donât know if youâve ever been faster, the way you speed through the corridors. Your heart thunders in your ears, your tears tickle your face, your breath scratches your throat. But you can hear him behind you.
Itâs a stalking sound. That kind of sound that tells you he doesnât waste strength trying to run after you. His pursuit is taunting, itâs haunting. It forces more sobs from you, and it makes it hard to see past the tears gathering in your eyes. You look behind yourself. It feels like heâs right thereâ
You run into something solid. Knocked to the ground, you grunt at the pain that blooms along your body at the fall. You open your eyes and look up to see whatâs stopped your escape, and you feel a sudden wave of relief. Itâs not a gaze that especially calms your nerves, but itâs enough to know that you might actually have a chance at safety.
âPrince Aemond!â you cry, moving to kneel before him as you duck your head. You stumble over your words, itâs so hard to speak past the fear, the pain in your throat, all of it. You do your best. âI-Iâm sorry, you⌠Your brother, heâs chasing me and he-heâs trying to, to hurt me, and Iââ
Thereâs no use in trying to speak coherently anymore. You break down into sobs, sobs full of broken rambles that are fueled by the emotions demolishing you. You look truly pathetic like this, you know you doâcovered in tears, your lip wobbling, your chest heaving with desperate breaths.
Prince Aemond looks upon you, his face a mask of almost indifference. Thereâs a spark of something in his eyes that you canât quite place. But, quite frankly, you donât care. As long as he helps you. Heâs been helping you all this time, surely he wonât turn his back now when you truly need him.
You donât know what possesses you to grab his hand. Youâre just glad he doesnât seem upset when you do it. You hope he understands you when you beg, âPlease donât let him touch me, please!â
His taunting footsteps re-enter your mind as they come to a stop somewhere behind you. Your blood runs cold when you hear him.
âBrother.â
You startle, genuinely yelping when you scramble to your feet and rush to stand behind Prince Aemond, putting him between you and his brother and using him as your shield. To your sweet relief, the prince puts his hand out and holds your arm, keeping you behind him. Keeping you under his protection. You let out a shuddering sigh.
âAegon,â he returns, his voice calm and measured. His gaze is unyielding, as it always is. You just hope that, as it always is, Prince Aegon is no match for it. âAre you tormenting this poor girl again?â
He laughs. âTormenting? Heavens no. Weâre just having a bit of fun,â his gaze shifts to you, âarenât we?â
You press yourself more into Prince Aemond, hiding as best you can.
Prince Aegon canât decide if heâs amused or annoyed. âAnd even if I was, the little thing put her hands on me.â He raises his brows. âThese things canât go unpunished.â
Itâs silent for a moment as Prince Aemond contemplates something. He glances over his shoulder, not quite looking at you as he questions. âIs this true?â
You swallow thickly. You canât lie. Itâs the princeâs word against yours, and you did put your hands on him⌠If anyone finds out, you couldâwould be killed. Your voice wavers as you confess timidly. âYes, my prince.â
Prince Aegon smiles. âYou see? She admits it.â He takes a step forward. âNow, if youâll excuse us.â
Terror grips you. âNoâ!â
âStep away, brother.â
He stops in his tracks, staring at his brother with a furrowed brow. Unimpressed by his jest, he gives an empty laugh. âExcuse me?â
Prince Aemond tilts his head, raising a brow. âI do not believe a stutter passed my lips.â His hand lands on the hilt of his blade, a warning. âI said step away.â
Prince Aegonâs lips curl in a sneer, but his eyesâŚhis eyes hold a predatory gaze that make you feel like youâre already trapped in the beastâs maw. âSheâs my servant girl. I can do as I please. Give her to me now.â
He remains unfazed. âI do not believe I will be doing that.â
âGet out of my fucking way, Aemond.â He advances, his eyes on you as he comes forward to take what is rightfully his. You begin to protest, scared sobs falling from your lips as you panic.
But Prince Aemond takes his own step forward, but his gaze is much harder, and his determination is much more dangerous. âTouch her and we shall both be half blind, brother.â His threat is level and true, and you feel yourself alighting with more fear at the sound of it. He tilts his head. âNow run along. Iâm sure youâve got a pillar to milk.â
Rage covers every inch of Prince Aegonâs face. He huffs as he shakes his head, moving to cover the distance. âYou fuckingââ
Everything seems to go completely still for a moment. The air is stagnant and all breath ceases when Prince Aemond raises his blade to his brotherâs face, the sharpest end only inches from his blue eye.
But Prince Aemond remains unfazed. His gaze is piercing, his posture is strong. His voice is low and level.
âDo it.â
They stare at one another, another silent standoff. Youâre still holding your breath.
Prince Aegonâs lips curl into a smirk. A chuckle slips past his lips as he takes a step back. He yields.
âWell played, brother.â He sucks on a tooth, turning his dark gaze to you as his eyes glitter with apparent amusement. Youâd hoped you were turning out to be more trouble than youâre worth, but the only thing youâve achieved tonight was sweetening the prize. âDonât worry, pretty girl⌠I will be seeing you soon.â
He spares one last glance at his brother before turning on his heel and walking away. Prince Aemond relaxes a bit, letting his blade return to its holster as he sighs gently. When the other prince has fully retreated, he hums.
âCome with me.â
He turns and walks down the hall. It takes you a moment to catch up as the adrenaline begins, slowly, to fade, replacing itself with an immense amount of exhaustion. You turn and walk after him, wiping your face to try to rid yourself of the tears that had begun to dry.
You follow him down the winding corridors until you eventually end up on the familiar path of his bedchambers. When you arrive, he opens the doors without a word. Itâs implied that you follow, so you do. He closes the doors behind you, and you slowly come to stand in the room, feeling so awkward here. Itâs so late, surely you need to leave and try to retire for the night, put this whole thing behind you for a few hours.
Your voice is timid, your fingers hesitant as you rub at your face. âAre you sure I should be here?â
The prince walks past you, trailing to a table where a bowl of now-cold water and a cloth sit. âYou can be wherever I say you can be,â he says dismissively. As he wets the cloth, he beckons you closer. You have to urge your legs to move, dragging yourself over to sit in the chair he is gesturing for you to take. You donât look at him, anxiety still whispering in your bones.
âAre you hurt?â he asks as he tilts your chin up, beginning to carefully wipe away the tears that have covered your face.
It feels strange, butâŚnice. Itâs nice to be taken care of. Youâre too drained and too quieted to wonder why youâre being taken care of. You just want to calm down.
âNo,â you mumble, sighing to calm your nerves. âThank you.â
He continues to dab at your face. âDonât thank me yet.â
You furrow your brows, looking up as you lock eyes. HeâsâŚsort of pretty. You hadnât really had the time or the mind to notice it before, but you donât intend to make a habit of noticing. Once this night is over, you intend to forget it all.
âBeg pardon?â you wonder.
He stops what heâs doing, setting the cloth back in its bowl. Looking back at you, he tilts his head. His voice does not change. âYou laid your hands on the prince.â
Just like that, the fear and anxiety return. Youâre already tongue-tied as you try to defend yourself. âHe was trying to hurt meââ
âIt does not matter,â he says, as though it means nothing. And it does. He shrugs as he continues to watch you. âMy brother has a reputation but he is the prince, and you are just a girl.â He hooks his knuckle under your chin, tilting your head to look up at him a little more. âWho do you think they will believe?â
Your breath picks up once more, a heavy thing in your chest that makes you feel like you may faint. You wet your lips, shaking your head. âIt was an accident. I was scared, a-and I panicked. Iââ
âIt is not I who questions your words,â he hums. âIt will be the publicâs when they learn you tried to seduce the prince.â
Your heart pounds so heavily in your chest. You swear you can hear each thump against your ribs. âBut I didnâtââ You pause at the look on his face. It is not him who questions your words. You swallow thickly, looking down at your hands clasped in your lap as you try to gather your thoughts. Your voice is so quiet when you speak again, weak with your defeat. âWhat am I to do?â
He seems pleased that you have begun to ask the right questions. He pulls away from you, removing his holster from around his waist to set his weapons down. âEven if he says nothing, you are still his servant, and I cannot be there at every turn to help you.â He looks at you once more, his eye unwavering. âOne way or another, he will have his way with you⌠and no one will care when they hear your screams down the hall.â
You duck your head, fiddling with your hands as these terrible feelings eat away at you. But then he speaks again, carrying words that have you glued to his every sound. âThere is a way, of course, that I can help you.â
You sigh. âIâll do anything.â
The slightest smirk curves his lips. He walks back toward you, his steps so slow, so measured. Every step he takes fills you with a strange kind of dread. His voice is so soft, the opposite of the fear-inducing sound of Prince Aegonâs.
âMy brother will care less about you if you areâŚâ he raises his hand to the top latch of his garb, undoing it slowly, â...already sullied.â
Your eyes widen as you watch him unlatch each metal piece with a clink, clink clink. A shivering heat courses through your veins, the kind of heat that has your body covered in gooseflesh. A million thoughts rush within your mind, but you havenât the slightest clue what any of them are saying.
Had he been any other boy from in Kingâs Landingâa peasant from Flea Bottom, a servant in the Red Keep, a merchant from Cobblerâs Squareâyou would have watched with bated breath, accepted his proposal with a shy grin, fingers shaking only with the anticipation of a night of pleasure. Had he been anyone else, you might have considered sharing the night, knowing and accepting that youâd likely have to take his hand to avoid the shallow slanders of society.
But he is not a merchant from Cobblerâs Square, or a servant in the Red Keep, and he most certainly is not a peasant from Flea Bottom. He is Prince Aemond Targaryen, the son of Queen Alicent and King Viserys I, the rider of Vaghar, the second largest dragon in the world.
You cannot do this and come out unburnt.
Your throat is dry as you try to shake your head. âI-I canât.â You stumble over your words uselessly. âIâmâ Youâreâ Weââ
He hums. âI can just tell them that you attacked the prince.â Fear strikes your head like a chord. âOf course, you would lose a handâŚif not your life.â
A tear slips down your cheek to replace the old ones. âPlease, my princeââ
âThereâs only one way to solve this,â he says, walking toward you once more so that youâre forced to look up at him. Heâs taller than Prince Aegon, and his gaze can be just as dark. âI can give you back to the beast, who will maul until he gets what he wantsâŚâ Your eyes close, trying to force the memory from your mind. He tilts his head and waits for you to look at him again.
âOr I can ruin you for him.â His proposal sends an unwanted shiver down your spine. You audibly sigh at his suggestion. âThen he shall no longer have interest in you.â
The gods have a strange sense of humor. Every time you suppose theyâve answered your prayers, they offer an alternative that you fight to determine better or worse. No win can ever simply be a win, no salvation can ever simply be salvation. It seems even nowâŚthat youâve traded one beast for another. Now youâre forced to choose between the lesser of two evils.
Your throat is dry. You have to clear it in order to find words to speak, timid words that find a lot of difficulty in breeching your lips. You look up at him, your eyes wet.
âHe wonât want me anymore?â You wipe at your eyes, trying to dry your constant tears. âYouâllâŚâ You clear your throat. âYouâll protect me?â
Prince Aemond watches you closely, his gaze betraying no hesitance. He raises a hand to your cheek, brushing his thumb under your eye line to rid yourself of your tears. âYou have my word,â he nearly whispers.
You look down at your hands, steeling your nerves as you squeeze your eyes shut.
Itâs one night. Then you shall be free from the torment of the eldest Targaryen prince. Your troubles shall be put in the past. Just one nightâŚthen all will be well.
You just pray this beast is kinder.
You slowly rise to your feet, your fingers almost lethargic in their movements as you hold your breath. He's taller than his brother, just by an inch or two. It's enough that you have to crane your neck even more to look up at him. It has a strange effect on you, one that makes you even shier than you were two moments ago.
You sheepishly raise a hand to your shoulder, pushing your apron off until your arms are free from it. Letting your breath free, you release your arm from the sleeve next. It takes forever, it feels like, to shed yourself of your clothes. But when youâre bare before him, you canât help but to cover yourself with your arms, trying to preserve what little ounce of dignity you have left.
But thereâs no use in it now. He raises hand, slowly so as not to scare you, and touches your waist. You nearly shudder at the feeling, so foreign to you. He drinks in the sight of you, feasting on your body in gentle praise. You drop your arms, allowing him to see all of you.
âMy brother was right about one thing,â he hums, licking his bottom lip between his teeth. âYou are a pretty girl.â
It feels so different when he says it. It shouldnât. His actions are almost as selfish as his brotherâs, though at least you gain something from your nearing fate. But those words on his lips, they caress you. They send shivers down your spine and offer the smallest salve to the raging nerves preventing you from being calm.
You struggle to find your voice, not yet able to meet his eyes.
âIâŚâ you sigh in an attempt to steady your nerves. âI am at yourâŚyour full service, my prince.â
One of his hands continues to rest at your hip, holding you close as his palm strokes your skin. You sigh, your eyes fluttering shut. It justâŚit feels so nice. Itâs so hard to resist a touch as nice as this one. His other hand reaches up to cup your cheek, and youâre forced to open your eyes to meet his gaze.
He brushes the apple of your cheek, staring into your eyes. His words have your blood rushing, your breath becoming thin. âHave you ever had your lips around a cock before?â
Your eyes flutter at the question as you shake your head. âN-No.â
âSomeoneâs mouth on your cunt?â
Your throat is so dry, you keep having to swallow. âNo, my prince.â
He hums. You canât tell if he sounds pleased or not. âI suppose youâve done nothing.â
âNever.â
His thumb strokes your cheek again. You lean absently into his touch. âThatâs alright,â he says. He lets go of you to shrug the top layer of his clothes off, leaving him in his tunic and trousers. Itâs already such a forbidden sight, heat rushes to your cheeks at a glimpse of itâas though you were not already standing bare before him. âI shall teach you.â
When his lips meet yours, you gasp against his mouth as your head begins to spin. Youâre so startled by the sudden movement, it takes you a moment to actually realize whatâs happened, let alone for you to gather the sense to kiss him back. His hand wraps around the back of your head to bring you closer, and a whining sound comes out of you when you feel his tongue slipping into your mouth.
This whole thing is so foreign to you, so forbidden and exciting and terrifying. Your breath shudders against his lips, and he feeds off your apprehension. He steps forward into you, and you nearly stumble back in an effort to keep up. Youâre forced to stop your backpedal when the hard wood of the table digs roughly into your back.
Your stomach churns with a feeling unfamiliar to you, and you lean into it because you have nowhere else to lean. Aemondâs hands hold you tightly, his lips never relent as they suckle around yours. The tingling in your body has become so strong, your legs feel like theyâre trembling, like your knees will give out any moment now.
When he pulls away from you, your breaths mingle in the short amount of space between you. Theyâre thick with whatever it is youâre feeling, this all-consuming lust that leaves you dizzy and wanting. Youâre still so close, your lips brush against one another in a silent, teasing chase.
And you know youâve passed the point of no return when you capture his lips once again, sighing into his mouth and delving into the desire driving you. Youâre losing breath and your legs are becoming less and less capable of keeping you up, but you donât care. You just need to keep tasting him, his lips, his tongue.
You reach for his tunic, pulling the fabric from his trousers and slipping your hands underneath it to feel the strength in his belly. Heâs soft, smooth, but you can feel his muscles flexing against your touch. Aemond is the one who pulls away, panting heavily as he watches you. A smirk curves his lips and leaves you weak. You watch him take a small step back, lifting his shirt over his head and discarding it carelessly on the floor. Youâre drunk on the sight of him, your lashes fluttering as you drive your teeth into your bottom lip.
When he pulls at his belt, you donât know what to do. You just stand there, watching his deft hands as they begin to unbuckle it, pulling it from its proper place with a grand sweep. It drops heavily to the floor, and his trousers soon follow.
You hold your breath, staring at the erection between his legs. Heâs long and flushed pink. You donât know what to do, how to react. As you both stand naked before one another, the only thing you can really think to do is drink the other in.
Aemond interrupts your thoughts as he grabs your face again, smashing his lips against yours. You whine again, your tentative hands grazing his sides with a hesitant appreciation. He keeps kissing you as he moves, and youâre too distracted with the way his mouth feels against yours to do much else but stumble after him.
Youâre forced to part when he sits down, his hands falling to your hips as he grips them tightly. âGet on your knees for me, pretty girl.â
The words wash over you with a shudder. You know that saying that is a show of power, a flaunt. He stole you from his tyrannical brother, and now you fall apart at the sound of the same name heâd been calling you. With no choice but to obeyâboth from obligation and a crumbling willâyou do as he says as you slowly sink down to your knees.
You stare up at him, your eyes glittering, your lips parted. Aemond takes a moment, admiring the view before him with a sigh and the shake of his head. He thinks you look simplyâŚperfect like this, awaiting his instruction with such an innocence about you.
âI want you to lick it,â he says simply.
You flush, feeling the heat burning in your face, feeling your core pulsing with a sudden desire. Your lips open and close, trying to figure out how to respond. You donât know how.
Aemond wraps a hand around the back of your head, his fingers weaving their way through your hair. Slowly, he pulls you in until your nose nudges his cock. You sigh, the warm breath fanning over him and making him twitch. Swallowing thickly, you steel your nerves as you timidly let your tongue slip past your lips. Closing your eyes, you do as youâre told and you lick it.
He has an interesting taste, a salty kind filled with a heady scent that invades your senses. Your mind is clouded by lust, your fingers tremble. He closes his eye as he sighs. âGood, just like that. Do it again.â
You lean into the gentle praise, becoming a little braver as you continue to lave your tongue along the underside of his cock. Itâs not hard to become addicted to it, his taste, his smell. Itâs like youâve been doused in a potion, one that intoxicates you with the strong scent of him.
You let his sighs guide you as your tongue presses against the vein running up his solid cock. Heâs hard, and itâs daunting that he feels so stone-like. You take the initiative as you wrap your lips around the head of his cock, suckling gently around it as you swirl your tongue along the slit.
Aemondâs lips part, and he opens his eye to look at you again. âGood,â he says. âVery good. Suck harder.â
You do, rewarded with a gentle grunt that sends shivers all throughout your body. His hand flexes in your hair, and your breath hitches slightly when he pushes you an inch further onto his cock. Adjusting your mouth, you move to take him deeper, sucking him down however you can. Then, just as heâd pushed you down, he guides you back up. Following his lead, you move on your own, moving up and down and up down until youâve built a steady rhythm.
âGood girl,â he breathes, this kind of hum that is far more rewarding than you would have thought. You follow his sounds, bobbing your head up and down his shaft with a growing enthusiasm. âGive me your hand.â He holds out his own for yours to take, and you do, pulling off of him with a sigh.
He guides your hand to his cock, wrapping your fingers around the base of him. His hand consumes yours as he covers it, squeezing it tight until a groan falls from his lips. He moves it up and down, setting your rhythm, up and down, just like before, up and down.
His hand guides you back down and you take him back into your mouth. You hear the faintest âfuckâ breach his lips, and a light feeling floods your system. You must be doing it right. Another âgood girlâ falls from his lips, and you melt.
You build up some speed, squeezing hard and sucking harder to give him the pleasure he needs. Your jaw and your neck aches, but youâre too caught up in the way his moans sound to care. Your throat catches on a gag when you go too deep, and you gasp on your way up, pausing for a moment to adjust before you take him again.
You feel Aemondâs hips beginning to twitch, rising off the seat a bit as he seeks the warmth of your mouth. When they buck up into you, forcing a gag to erupt out of you, your other hand shoots up to hold him still, nearly panicking when he does. âYes,â he huffs. âYouâre doing so well, pretty girl.â
A whimper leaves your throat, and his breath hitches. As your hand jerks at his cock, he grips your hair and pulls you off of him with a grunt. Your tongue lolls from your mouth, and you have to catch your breath as fresh invades your lungs. His next curse is much clearer as his chest rises and falls with his desire.
âFuck,â he huffs. His gaze finds you, and he smirks at the sight of your wet eyes and plump lips. âVery good, my sweet thing.â
One of his hands wraps around your throat, and you gasp before his lips find yours again. You lean into it, loving the way his mouth slots so perfectly with yours. He grabs a hold of you as he wills you to stand with him. âMy prince,â you sigh between kisses, drinking the lust he pushes down your throat.
You yelp when he dips down and lifts you up, wrapping your legs around his waist as he walks away with you. You hold on tightly to him, finding it so difficult to pull away from his lips. âAemond,â he corrects you, his teeth closing around your bottom lip. You lick it, pleasantly startled by it.
The smallest scream passes your lips when Aemond suddenly drops you onto his bed. He chases after you, bending over it just to continue his attack of your lips. You cradle his face in your hands, indulging in this forbidden pleasure. He breaks from your lips, his mouth finding your neck as he kisses and licks and sucks and bites at the skin. You gasp at the feeling, your mind hazy with it.
His hands roam your skin, his dull nails grazing it with a certain longing. His lips trail down, down, down. He kisses the lowest part of your belly, lifts your leg as he moves to kiss your knee. He watches you as he does it. He doesnât say a word, he just stares into your eyes with every peck against your flesh.
Uncontrollable shudders rush through you as his lips press against the inside of your thigh, his tongue darting to lick, his teeth nipping. He goes farther and farther, closer and closer. You donât think youâll be able to handle it when he reaches the prize he seeks.
Your words come out as a peep. âMy prince.â
He pauses at the very center of your being, his mouth so close that his breath ghosts over you, teasing you. He lingers there, his hands gripping the underside of your thighs. âAemond.â
His voice is low, almost dangerous. You feel too light and floaty to feel the real danger that is this man. Youâre in no position to refuse as you take in a shallow breath. âAemond,â you whisper.
Then he smirks. Itâs a devilish thing that leaves you burning.
You gasp when he dives between your legs, his hot mouth meeting your hot cunt as he laps and sucks at your folds. Your back arches off the bed, and youâre overcome with this consuming feeling that leaves you wanting more, more, more. You whimper, stumbling over your incoherent words. âF-Fuck, Aemond.â
Heâs hungry for you, starving as he devours you. Itâs hot and heavy, and youâre left absolutely shaking in his grasp. His arms wrap around your thighs, pulling you close and keeping you down.
Your hands fly to his hair, gripping his silver locks and holding them tight to find something to ground you. You can't breathe, you can't think. It's all white noise, the sounds of wet on wet, his heavy breaths, your weak moans. It's utterly intoxicating. You don't think you'll survive.
âOh, g-gods,â you gasp. âI c-can't. It's soâŚÂ fuck, it's so good. Please don't stop!â
Itâs like music to his ears. The highs of your moans, the lows of your grunts. It feeds his hunger, his pride, his desire. It writhes within him like the fire that writhes within his mighty dragon.
Aemondâs tongue licks and flicks at your clit, coaxing you closer and closer. As you tug at his hair, deep groans erupt from his throat. As your release nips at your heels, beckoning you, luring you toward that edge like a sirenâs call, his name echoes off your tongue. He holds you down as you grind against his face, searching for more of him, a glutton for the pleasure he provides.
âAemond,â you gasp, your body tensing as you get closer. âIâm so close. Please donât stopââ
Your mouth drops open, your entire body suddenly alight with ecstasy as you reach that boiling point. White flashes behind your eyes as desperate shudders wreck you from the inside out. Your thighs tighten around his head, and his tongue never lets up as he continues to lap at your cunt. You gasp and moan and ride out your high like youâre afraid youâll never feel it again.
He doesn't let up through your orgasm. He drinks it down, ever the starved man craving your honey. When the trembling has dulled down, and he thinks you can breathe again, Aemond sits up with a rather pleased look on his face. âYou taste,â he hums, a large smirk covering his face as he licks his lip, âmagnificent, pretty girl.â You melt at his praise.
When his finger teases the seam of your cunt, you look at him quickly, unsure of what youâre looking for. You whine when he presses his finger inside of you, pushing it in deep. The sensitivity matched with the slight stretch is maddeningâand when he curls it, you lose your breath in your whimper.
You curse, not quite sure how to feel between your fresh release and his long finger seated so nicely within you. You cannot tell if you want to beg for more or ask him for a reprieve, if only for a moment. A moment to catch your breath, which is so frequently lost with this man.
But heâs far too happy to watch you trembleâand you do tremble. Itâs hard not to when he plays your body like a player to a lyre. He thrusts his finger slowly in and out of you, content with the way you pant until he isnât. As he adds a second finger, you clench your teeth and stifle a moan at the stretch. Itâs a nice kind of stretch, itâs pleasant and warm but it drives you to madness.
He thrusts his fingers in and out of you, curling them against a spongy spot within you that arches your back in the same manner. The more he strokes you, the more you moan, and the faster he goes. His rhythm is quick and precise, and it's so blinding as it fills the air with the sounds of your moans, your squelching cunt, his eager breaths.
The pleasure swirls in your brain. It's the kind of pleasure that is just as much in your head as it is in your body, and you can hardly think past it. Bending down to meet you, his lips capture yours again. You moan into his mouth as they slide against each other. There's nothing tender about this kiss. There's never been anything tender about it. He's needy and primal, and it's the opposite of the composure this man holds as he walks about the castle with all the regality and elegance of a prince.
The way that you feel this pleasure is anything but elegant. You feel it with jerky limbs, with sharp gasps, with whining moans. You feel it with tugged hair and clasped thighs and clenched jaws. It's uncontrolled and incredibly indulgent. There's no restraint, as much as you try to keep yourself in check, he yanks these things from you and makes it impossible to be elegant.
âSuch a good girl, you are,â he purrs, nipping at your earlobe. The praise goes straight to your core, straight to your pulsing clit. You're already so close, you feel the ebb and flow of a release pulling at you. âI can already imagine how perfect you'll feel around my cock.â
A whimper escapes youâa pathetic sound, really. He swallows it down like a sweet elixir, drunk on the taste, drunk on the feel. He could spend forever here, with his fingers shoved in your cunt and his mouth all over your body.
When he breaks away from your lips, he moves down your body and attacks your cunt, fingers still thrusting. You react immediately, rolling your hips against him as his tongue laps at your clit. You're so caught up in it that it takes no time at all for you to come again, this time all over his hand.
You shake as you shout, high-pitched whines and shallow breaths and blinded eyes. Your pussy clenches around his fingers, and he keeps coaxing the ends of your release from you even after you've settled.
When you go limp against the sheets of his bed, he pulls his hand out of you. You feel heavy, your eyes drooping and your chest still full of needy breath. You forget, for a moment, that you're not done. It's hard to keep up so fresh out of your virginity. You never thought you would lose it so thoroughly.
Aemond kisses your release from his fingers, humming at the taste of you with a growing appreciation. His hand wraps around his cock, and he groans. He's still so hard, and you wonder briefly if it hurts.
âSit up, pretty girl,â he beckons, holding a hand out for you.
It takes a moment for your body to follow the order. When you do you grasp his hand as he helps you up. He wraps an arm around your waist, the other at his side as he pulls you in and kisses you with as much hunger as he began.
When he lets you go, he does so to move off the bed. You sit there, attempting to gather your thoughts. Everything is still so hazy, there's a slight confusion that is so difficult to gauge.
Aemond sits at the head of the bed, sitting back as he watches you for a moment. He seems to be giving you the moment you're needing. It doesn't last too long, though, because he reaches an arm out and wraps it around you to bring you to him, back to chest.
You can feel his cock pressing into your back as his lips brush the shell of your ear. A shudder runs down your spine.
âI am going to fuck you now,â he purrs in your ear. The smallest whimper escapes you, and his lips kick at the sound. âBut before I do, I must tell you how much I've been craving you.â
You lean into him, no sense or care for the danger this situation puts you in. âI've been watching you.â A dull tingle sparks in your gut, arising in the tips of your fingers, of your ears. He was always watching you.
âYou're such a lovely little thing.â He hums, âA sweet girl, a shy girl. No wonder my brother wants you so much. It's the only sensible thing he's ever done.â
He takes a deep breath in, his nose pressed into your hair as he does. With a sigh, he chuckles. âHow lucky I am to have gotten to you first.â His hand flattens against your belly while the other strokes the inside of your thigh.
âYou see, my brotherâŚhe would have ravished you.â The idea makes you cold, you have to force away the heat that pushes at your eyes. âBut meâŚâ you can feel his smirk against your ear as he whispers, â...I am going to ravage you.â
Your voice is a small murmur of a thing when you speak. You reach over your shoulder, your fingers finding his hair. âPleaseâŚâ you whimper.
Aemond turns you around, lifting you up as he moves you to sit in his lap. His cock sits against your belly, and you lose breath just looking at him. You watch his face as his gaze covers you. His arms wrap tightly around your body, and when he kisses you, he has to move up to do it.
You cradle his head in your hands as you do, grinding your hips against him in your haste. He groans as you do, enjoying the way your pussy rubs against him. His strong hands wrap around your thighs, lifting you up again as he positions you over him.
When he eases you down, you whine into his mouth. But the intrusion doesn't stop as he presses deeper and deeper into you. Your thighs meet his lap, and you break the kiss to let out a heavy sigh at how far he sits within you.
You linger there, your mind hazy with the stretch as your body goes limp. It feels so good.
Aemond's hands flex on your thighs, and you moan when he presses you down, squishing your bodies together in an attempt to go deeper. âI can feel you clenching around me,â he huffs. âDo you want me, pretty girl? Do you want me to make you feel good?â
You roll your hips a little in his lap, your voice a permanent whine in your ear as you keep him close, your face buried in the crook of his neck. âYes,â you gasp. âYes, please fuck me, Aemond.â
He shifts his hands to grip your ass, and the moan that falls out of you is high and heavy. You hold him tighter, grinding down into his lap.
You fall into a steady rhythm soon enoughâhis hands guiding your rolling hips, your pitched moans, his strained breaths. Your thighs shake around him, it's so hard to keep it steady when you need more.
It drives you as you fuck yourself on his cock, searching even deeper for that pleasure, You're not used to the heat curling in your belly. It's white-hot, consuming. It makes you so hard to focus as it slowly begins to become all you know.
For a moment, you wonder if this is what it feels like to be a dragon. This overwhelming heat which makes a home inside of you. Hoarding, nesting, conquering. You wonder if this feeling is what makes the Targaryens what they are, rulers.
But then you remember. You remember who you are. You remember that dragons are fierce, and you could never even imagine being as fierce as even the smallest of the Targaryen beasts.
So you lose yourself in the pleasure until all you know is Aemond. His lips press against your skin as you ride him, his fingers digging into your skin as he licks and bites at your neck, your collarbone, your chest. When his lips wrap around your nipple, you're done for as you throw your head back. Pushing your chest closer to him, you bounce in his lap and indulge in this pleasure.
His moans vibrate within you. You're left gasping as his tongue digs into your nipple and sends electricity flowing through your veins. âAemond, please,â you mewl. âDon't stop.â His tongue glides toward the valley of your breasts, and you arch your back into him when he claims your other nipple.
A sudden crack of thunder resembling a dragon's roar deafens you for a moment, and a startled gasp slips from you at the sound. You had not even realized it had been raining. If it weren't for the bliss clouding your mind, you would feel foolish for not hearing the rain sooner as it slaps against the windows of his chambers.
In your brief distraction, Aemond brings you in tight as he pushes you onto your back, and you yelp as you tighten your arms around him. His figure towers over you, and you hesitate for a moment as you stare into his eye.
He's pretty. It has an almost sobering effect on you. If you forget who and what he is, if you forget (for the moment) why you are here⌠you think that this is the man who you would allow to sweep you off your feet.
But he isn't, and he can't be. He is your prince and (for lack of better word)Â savior. You owe him a debt, which you will pay and move on.
So when his hips snap into you, you lose yourself all again to make all of this easier. Like the pouring rain outside, his sudden thrusts are quick and persistent. The sound of his cock sliding in and out of your dripping cunt matches that of the rain smacking against stone, against earth. You hold onto him, arms and legs, as he fucks you.
He holds you close, like he'll keel over if you disappear. His sounds, though deep and heavy, hold a certain desperation in them that transcends blind lust. As you moan in his ear and ramble nonsensically about how good he's making you feel, he buries his face in the crook of your neck and feasts at your throat.
Somehow, this position allows him to drive deeper within you. You're left gasping, seeing stars with every slap of his hips. One hand cradles the back of your head, tangled in your hair as you moan. The other grasps your hip and refuses to let go as he holds you still.
The rain outside carries on. It's more fitting than a silent night. The thunder rumbles and roars, just like the heat writhing within the both of you. âDo you like it, pretty girl?â he mutters in your ear, his breath thin and his voice low. âDo you like how Iâm fucking you?â
Youâre losing it, teetering on the edge of senseless bliss. Thereâs too much pleasure shooting in your body and nowhere to put it as you clench and shake and moan. âI canâtââ you stutter, wrapping your legs tighter around him. âPlease, my prince, I canât!â
âDo you want me to make you cum, pretty girl? Is that what you want?â His excitement and desperation mix in a heavy encouragement that has his hips thrusting rougher into your own. It feels so good for you to be able to think about what heâs asked. All you know is that heâs going to let you cum, and thatâs all you want right now. You crave it, like the soil craves water, like your lungs crave air.
As you pull him tight within your embrace, you're driven by your need as you nod. âYes, yes, yes, please.â You gasp at the roll of his hips. âIâll do anything. Please give it to me.â
He loves hearing you say that. Iâll do anything. Part of him wonders just how far you would go. Youâre already fucking him, the prince, in order to escape his brother, another prince. If he had his wayâand itâs likely he willâyouâll find yourself in this position more than once following this encounter.
He just supposes you ought to be more careful to whom you speak those words.
âBeg for it,â he demands, his lips lazy against your skin. âBeg for me to keep fucking you. Beg for me to cum in you, to let you cum on my cock. Beg me to give you what you want, pretty girl.â
Youâre too far gone to care, and your dignity has long since been shed. Youâve already sold your soul, youâve already given up the virginity thatâs meant to be reserved for a husbandâwere he ever to find his way to you. You have nothing left to lose but your life, and that has already been sold to the Targaryen reign.
So, as the thunder rumbles, you let the pleads fall. âPlease, Aemond, let me cum,â you stutter. âPlease cum inside of me. I need you.â
Heâs losing control. Itâs a confusing, conflicting feeling. He needs the control, he needs to feel it in his hands, especially as he takes youâsomething that was rightfully his when he decided you were. But youâŚoh, you just had to be so perfect, so obedient, so good. His control was slipping, and it was your fault, and part of him didnât even care.
He held you still and he held you down as he fucked his cock into your squelching pussy and cricled his dept fingers over your aching clit. The sight of your tearing eyes as your foreheads pressed together was addicting.
You are the first to cum. The thunder outside of his window is loud, a terrible rumble that almost silences your desperate moans, the sobbing breaths that fall from your lips as you see white. The pleasure overcomes you like the pouring rain that drowns the ground in its consuming cover. You hold him tight, too tight perhaps. But thereâs not enough sense in your mind to care.
You clench so tightly around his cock, he doesnât understand how he was supposed to resist. With a few powerful thrusts, he spills inside of you with a low groan that sounds like a roar with the way it is drowned by the raging crack of thunder that deafens you both. Your cunt swallows his cock and his cum down, milking every last drop as he fucks it into you in deep, short thrusts.
You shake and tremble, still so caught on the ride that is the orgasm still ripping through your body. Aemondâs teeth graze the skin of your throat as his breath fans over your skin.
It takes a long time for either of you to come down. Tremors glide through your muscles as you lay on your back, your limbs very slowly loosening from around him as you lay limply on the bed. Your breaths mingle, an exchange of sobering lust which turns to solemn clarity for you and satiated hunger for him. As his gaze catches your face, he hums as he leans in and captures your lips.
As wrong as you know it isâthough you know youâve passed the point of moral obligationâyou canât help but to kiss him back. This man has consumed you, body and mind and soul. He has a claim on you now that goes even deeper, somehow, than the cum heâs shoved into your womb. You donât know what youâre going to do, but for nowâŚyou simply give in to the intoxication of his desire.
When he pulls out of you, it's with heavy sighs and weak whimpers. He wraps his arms around you and pulls you to sit up, leaning all the way back until heâs laying against the pillows at the top of the bed with you right at his side. Despite your better judgment, you seek his warmth as you rest your head on his chest. Aemond throws one arm over you and the other behind his head.
Neither of you look at one another. Itâs an unspoken agreement, while you both think over things in your mind. No gazes really need to be exchanged.
You thought, like some great metaphor, that the rain would begin to slow now that the frenzy has faded. You thought that the thunder would settle and the harsh patter of rain at the window would begin distant flicks of water on glass. But as you lay there, wrapped in Aemondâs embrace, the storm refuses to cease.
Itâs a while before you find your voice. When you do, itâs still so quiet, and now hoarse with its overuse throughout this dark night.
âWillâŚâ you lick your lip, swallowing thickly with a sigh. âWill Prince Aegon truly leave me be now?â
Aemond doesnât respond right away. As he stares at the ceiling, you feel his thumb begin to stroke slow circles into your shoulder. It remains quiet for a long time. âMy brother does not care whether you have your virtue or not.â His words would have pulled a gasp from you, were you not subconsciously expecting them from coming from his mouth. âHe would have raped you all the same.â
Still, despite your suspicions, despite your inhibitions, you sit up just enough to look at his face. Despite everything, remaining oblivious seems like an easier choice than facing what you already know: he lied to you, and you let him do it because one evil is easier than the other. âWhat?â you whisper, apprehension in your eyes as you watch him. He stares back at you, taking in the sight of your innocence. He could not have chosen better.
âBut he shall not,â he says, a firmness in his soft voice that eases your worry. âHe will not cross me, and I shall have you transferred to my chambers instead of his to keep my eye on you.â He takes your chin in his grasp, pulling you close. âI promise my protection, it is yours.â His lips hardly brush against yours, it is you who closes the distance (no matter how much you convince yourself that it is him). You sink into him with a gentle sigh.
âHe will not touch you. NowâŚâ his eyes are dark when he says it, â...you belong to me.â
You always knew this was the route. You knew, whether you would ever admit it to yourself or not, that he always meant to own you. And you let him. You let him do it, despite knowing what he is.
He is a Targaryen, and all Targaryens must be beasts in the end, some more than others.
Prince Aegon is a cruel beast, a monster truly favored by none⌠but Aemond is no less cruel. He is a subtler beast, the kind that lies in waiting, charms with smiles and soothing promises, the kind that bargains in the dark and sways the monsters of the daylight. The difference between the princes is not the difference between good and bad. You know this. You have known this. You always will know this.
But Prince Aemondâs cruelty is kindâŚand youâd rather be monstrously deceived than beaten bloody and bruised.

TW: jumping on the manwhore au but aftermath, discussion of S/A, read carefully.
Three weeks pass.
Odysseus is carried through them with ecstasy and joy, reuniting and grieving and laughing and rearranging.
But then everything settles down, and-
It was him who'd ordered it. Ordered owls to be carved into every free inch of Ithaka, coveted shipments of the secretive birds for his personal menagerie, sold trinkets in the market. Made no secret of who favoured them, when he had half the houses painted blue.
But now every step he takes in his own home haunts him.
He cannot so much as look to the side before feeling the urge to flinch away, shame growing inside of him until it chokes him up. Cannot look at any owls. Cannot look at any of his men.
("Well, if our captain can't think his way out of it, at least now we know talking filthy works just as well!" One of the men chortles, unaware of how Odysseus' blood had run cold, standing with his hand raised to knock.)
("This day, you've lost it all, consider this as my goodbye-")
("Come on, she's a beautiful, powerful lady! How bad could it really have been, Captain?")
("Captain?" Eurylochus whispers, as Odysseus wipes the blood off his mouth and reaches for his cloak. The ships are silent, even though the roar of the waves has left. Eyes stare at him from all directions, wide and-
Pitying? Horrified? Odysseus can't really tell.
"Full speed ahead," He says, voice ruined, and keeps his chin high as he hobbles back to his room.)
(When the sirens come, all he sees is Penelope. It is nice, at least, to know that he can discard the intrusive thoughts creeping in about natural reactions and forced pleasures.)
("Please- please don't do this, don't make me choose, I'll do anything-")
("Leave me the fuck alone, both of you. If Penelope does not take me back after all of this, it's her choice. But I have to get all of us off this island and it's better me than you.")
"Ody- Your Majesty!" Odysseus reaches into his robes, pulls out the whittling tool and the wood, busies himself as he walks. It's one of the younger men, the ones who'd barely been boys when they left. "Listen, we were wondering if- if you'd come join us at the festival! The- all of the men, really, we've been- heh- missing you since we now have to share you with the rest of the kingdom. We could- we could sing together? Like we used to?"
Athena's prayers.
"You go ahead," Odysseus murmurs, eyes on the carving. "Next time."
"But you didn't come for the last one either!"
"I have-" He hears his own sharp tone, stops and swallows to soften it. He was terrible to all of them, he knows, those last few days aboard the ship, rude and sharp and brutal like all the other royals, where he never was before. "I have work to do. Have a good day. I've heard the new hound stock is coming in today, you should see if you want a pet."
He ignores whatever is said in response, walking on. He wonders, darkly, what they think of him. Do they still think he enjoyed it? That it was a privilege to be had by gods?
("He won't speak to us!" One of them hiss that night, when the lad comes back sniffling and downcast, like all the others. They'd grown up with Odysseus, almost like younger brothers, and all of the younger ones were taking the sudden frigid silence hard. They all were. Somewhere they had lost their friend, left him behind without noticing, until only their king returned. "He cannot possibly think we think less of him for sacrificing so much, for- the gods are impossible to hold up against, he can't think we blame him for-"
"We don't know what he thinks," Polites says, pulling his head out of his hands and wrapping his arms around himself. "He doesn't even look at us."
The men around the fire are all silent.
"He has to know, right?" Someone whispers. "He has to.")
"What did happen on the trip back?" Penelope says, voice quiet, sitting next to him. He jolts. When did he reach their bedroom? "Something did. You have barely touched me since that first day."
Odysseus opens his mouth, but for the first time, he has nothing to say. What can he? She had known, the first second he had turned his eyes from her in shame, and yanked him back in anyway with eyes blazing like a lion, growling that she didn't care what he had to do to come back, as long as he had.
Odysseus doesn't feel like he has.
Penelope carefully takes the whittling knife away from him, as well as the spear he'd carved. "And you have not prayed, after your return."
(He had tried. Had walked right upto the temple steps when everyone was asleep, and then turned around and thrown up in a bush.)
"Have you heard the story of the high priestess Medusa?" He murmurs, staring at the wall. Watches the shadows dancing across. "Athena used to tell me about her. One of her favourite devotees. I never understood why she cursed her, when it was not her fault."
Penelope puts a hand on his shoulder. Both of them are shaking. She has seen the scars, the ones that glow beautiful and bright, left behind by each god who touched him.
"A gorgon, snake-woman, capable of turning anyone she looked upon to stone, gods and humans alike. No eyes upon her, ever again."
The breeze blows in.
"At the time, I thought it to be a curse." He whispers. Remembers the story of the way she had screamed in the temple bower for Athena's help, insane, at the feeling he knows now is violation of self and celibacy both; Athena's chosen, ripped away from one of their ways of worship by force. "Now I know it was a blessing."
"But-" Penelope swallows. "Perseus-"
"Was a mercy." He looks at the ground. "She was pregnant. She did not wish to be. Athena granted her so."
"The shield is to honor her," Penelope murmurs. "Not a trophy."
He hums.
"I-" Penelope starts, voice thick. "I remember when you asked. When we first got married. If I was fine with not being joined with you in bed often, as long as I was satisfied. Was it-?"
"Only her priestesses can have true celibacy, her devotees less, me lesser. I had a crown to continue, so Athena accepted a more lenient vow, when I became her student." He stares out at the sea, the sky. "But I had vowed. I had sworn." A half-sob escapes him, some delayed noise of grief. It feels far away now, and the scars have all healed, but he cannot move past the violation, the stares, the whispers. The shame of betrayal. "I had an oath, Penelope."
"It was not your fault," Penelope whispers, taking his hand like he will shatter like glass. "Poseidon seems to target all of Athena's people. If anything-"
"We fought," He says, turning his head to press his face to her shoulder, shuddering as he confesses it. Abandoned by his own god. "She left. Maybe this is her punishment, all the eyes, all the time. Paranoid that another Olympian will jump out of the shadows, do it again."
"Or," Penelope says after a long pause. "She does not know. Only one way to truly find out."
Odysseus considers.
"Could you," He swallows, throat clicking. "Could you get me- the things from my shrine?"
-
He does not expect her to actually arrive.
He shakes in front of her, for the first time, feeling small and foolish and broken. Wishes he could go back to being twelve, do it all over correctly. "Lady Athena," He says, as formally as he can. "I beg your forgiveness. Please- please, is there anything I can do to-"
"About time," She interrupts, bored. "Finally willing to concede that I was right?"
Odysseus feels bile rise in his throat. "Yes, goddess. I was- stupid, to ever consider otherwise."
Penelope's hand is clenched tight in his robes, kneeling with him.
"Good," Athena says, pleased. "A war well won, all things considered. Our glory will go down in the history books." A pause. "Why are you on the floor?"
"What?" He chokes out.
"You've never kneeled to me once, even when I've taken you out at the ankles, you impudent brat," She snorts. Odysseus feels his pounding heart freeze in his chest at the- fondness in her voice. Fondness. She is not furious with him, not unforgiving. "What, do you want something else-"
She knocks him on the head, flicking him on the forehead playfully- then freezes as he looks up at her. Goes completely still, and he knows she can see what they did to him.
Penelope's hand reaches out to steady him.
"Only your forgiveness, goddess," His voice breaks. "Only that."
-
After, Penelope holds him, crying silently herself as she wipes at his cheeks. Athena sits with her head in her hands, helmet removed, anger finally under control but completely silent. Just sits there at the edge of their bed, bent over, face buried in her own palms.
Finally, she straightens, inhaling. Turns to look at him. "You may not be alive to see it," She tells him, quiet and furious. "But this is their last transgression, I swear to you. I will find a way to get revenge. They will die."
"I do not-"
"They will die. And no vows have been broken." She hesitates, hand hovering over his ankle. Odysseus crumbles, nodding desperately, and nearly passes out at the relief of the familiar touch, sharp and cleansing, godly and unlike the chaos of all the others. "You need not apologise to me about that."
He sniffs, turning his face into Penelope's shoulder. It feels freeing, some latent relief that Athena finally sees him, understands, forgives. She is not the terrifying goddess so far removed, cold and cruel, that he was starting to think she truly might be; bowed over in grief and horror for him, like a friend- he just wishes this was not the reason why.
Her eyes are gold at the edges. Crying. Nauseated almost, at the fact that- her uncle. Her father.
"Would you-" Odysseus wheezes. His heart hurts still, for their fight, for what happened after, for how hard he knows she will take it. "Can you-"
"Anything, champion," She says softly, strained. Gives him a half-smile. "My friend."
"The wings-" He whispers, feeling stupid, but-
"Slow," Penelope murmurs, reaching out to steady Athena as she climbs in close. Her voice is wrecked. She does not say anything more.
Owl wings fold around him, not white or blue or pink, patterned and brown like the mud; home. Home.
"No one will see you," Athena murmurs, and her voice is wretched, but caring. "No one can see you. Peace."
"Peace," Odysseus repeats, and leans into them both, letting the darkness shroud around them like an embrace. Peace.
Home.

haunted
in which spencer reid takes you to a haunted house and you're being very brave about it... sort of.
fluff! warnings/tags: reader wears a skirt, reader is a scaredy cat!!, established relationship, kithing, my favs derek and penelope featured, haunted house stuff, talk about the physical composition of human eyeballs and mentions of harvesting them/eating them but it's not serious, FAKE very fake Halloween gore, I know those tags just escalated so quickly my bad, mention of a spooky clown, just haunted house stuff ok!! but its really not a scary fic I promise!!!! a/n: this is for my bff @gublersg1rl !!!! I hope u all like!!!!! Also yes the title was extremely creative I was feeling divinely inspired and revolutionary letâs not talk abt it
âOkay, no, noâmaybe we donât have to go in. I donât think itâs gonna be that good.â
As you say it youâre wearily eyeing the crowd of screaming teenagers who are sprinting from the haunted house attractionâs exit, leaving a trail a swirling leaves and candy wrappers in their wake. Spencer laughs, gently hugging you back to him as you subconsciously begin to drift away from the line.Â
âI knew this would happen.â
âNothingâs happening.â
âYouâre scared. You want to chicken out.â
âI donât,â you snap, stepping back and adjusting your sweater. âIâm just⌠Iâm cold. I wanna go back to the car.â Spencer does some adjustments of his own, coming close and reaching around you as if going in for a hug but instead tugging your skirt down slightly in the back. You let him finish and then bat his hand away. âWould you stop that?â
âYou said you were cold! Iâm trying to help you.â
âBy making my skirt one inch longer? Thatâs not going to help.â
He holds his hands up defensively. âOkay. Sorry. I wonât touch.â
Immediately your serrated edge is dulled and you lean against him, barely steering clear of a pout. âNo, please. Youâre warm. And youâll protect me.â
He smiles down at you, cheeks and nose nipped sweet pink by the chilly breeze. His hair looks very nice today, his eyes are extra sparkly in the dark, and heâs framed by mostly bare tree branches scattered around the fairgroundânothing more than dark palms clawing at the sky, a full white moon cradled in between black branches. The autumnal night is perhaps too cold for the tartan mini skirt youâd chosen, but Spencer told you it looked nice. Of course he doesnât put up a fight when you slip your arms around his waist under his coatâonly wraps his arms around you in return.
âI donât know if Iâll be able to protect you. But between us Derek and Penelope will bear the brunt of the jump scares.â
âWho said my name?â
You look over your shoulder to where Penelope is shivering despite wearing her own and Derekâs coat, and Derek is eyeing the two of you, enjoying a bag of caramel corn like he doesnât have a care in the world.Â
âDonât worry about it,â Spencer says, and you laugh to yourself, pulling him even closer like youâre trying to leech the warmth from his body. âOkay, you do have to face forward though. I donât want you to trip.â
âNo, Spencer!â You argue, but heâs already unlatching your arms from his middle and turning you in place.Â
âYouâre fine,â he chuckles, holding onto your hips. âIâm right here. Be brave.â
The line has begun to move forward again, and this time, itâs not stopping. Your heart pounds as at the behest of a teenaged bloody scarecrow you follow Derek and Penelope into the dark mouth of the red clapboard facadeâa sort of farmhouse design that had seemed charming from afar and deeply sinister up close. Speakers play a loud creaking sound over spooky music and your eyes slowly adjust to reveal a foggy corridor lined with doors and creepy paintings.
As soon as the first evil little girl pops out of a doorway, you scream right along with Penelope.Â
âOh, my god,â Spencer laughs under his breath as you stop dead in your tracks, holding the group behind you up. When Penelope and Derek move on, you stay stuck, knowing that the threat has disappeared for the moment but still looms. Spencer gently ushers you forward. âStay close behind Penelope, and it wonât be as scary. Come on, we have to keep going.â
âI hate this so much.â
But he ignores your comment, guiding you forward down the shadowy hallway and whispering the beginnings of a tangent over your shoulder.Â
âYou know, the first haunted house attraction was in London in 1915 at a fairground just like this. They picked up in America during the Great Depression as an attempt to distract young hooligans from resorting to property damage for fun.â
âHooligans?â You mutter, teasing him even while terrified, carefully eyes the suspicious staircase leading up to a fenced in landing, shrouded in darkness. âWeâre not going up there, are we?â
Just then a man with a sack over his head and bloody axe emerges from the black, launching himself down the stairs. Again, you scream, this time sprinting out of Spencerâs hold and through a cobweb veil into the next room.Â
âJesus fuck!â You gasp, clutching your chest as someone made up to be a sweet old grandma gone mad and soaked in blood and viscera turns around to greet you with a manic grin.Â
âOh, a pretty girl! Is that you, dear? My long lost granddaughter? Or did I put her in a pie?â
The acting is subpar at best, the script even worse, but what really discomforts you are the bloodied rubber limbs swinging from the ceiling and the fog machine in the corner that keeps burping out thick white clouds with a little hiss. You turn around, running directly into Spencerâs chest. He catches you by the waist and you cling to him, digging your feet in to try and stop either of you from proceeding any closer to your new friend.Â
âAnd your loverâso handsome! Mm, what a delicious pairing you twoâll make! Maybe in my specialty cream of eyeball soup?â
She cackles. Spencer pushes you carefully forward as you peer over his lapel, and he actually stops to look into the womanâs pot as she stirs it.Â
âSpencerââ
âYou knowâthe human eyeball is by all accounts difficult to harvest without essentially popping the outer wall of muscle and connective tissue and then youâre losing the structure of the sphereâand stop me if you know thisâbut water constitutes about 98 percent of vitreous and aqueous humor which in turn make up eighty percent of the total volume of the eye so to say your soup would be cream of eyeball isââ
âBuddy, youâre holding up the line!â Someone shouts from behind, and Spencer offers an awkward apology to the grandma who was beginning to look more and more uncomfortable, hurrying you along through the kitchen from hell.Â
âI cannot believe you just did that,â you hiss, still clinging to him. âThat poor woman probably thinks youâre a serial killer now.â
âI was trying to humanize her for your benefitââ
Another scream from someone else, another cheap jump scare, cuts him off, and by this point you have your eyes squeezed shut, squeaking at every noise, and Spencer is damn near carrying you through the haunted house, walking you awkwardly backward through the various rooms.Â
He cradles the back of your head and presses his lips to your ear as a chainsaw revs somewhere nearby and you hear Derek and Penelope yelping just ahead. âYouâre being so brave,â Spencer murmurs, though you donât miss the smile in his voice. "If I was a malevolent spectre I would definitely steer clear of you. I'd be too intimidated."
âShut up. Ah!â
âBaby, that was a plant. You know the actors canât touch you, right? Youâre not in any danger.â
âI donât like being scared, Spencer.â
âThen why did you suggest the haunted house? I said we should do the maze.â
âI donât know! Iââ another man popping out of the wall, another roar that you only hear, sequestered safely against your boyfriendâs coat. âOh my god, are we almost done? I canât do this anymore.â
âYeah, the entrance is right ahead. No more actors, okay? I can see the whole room, itâs totally empty.â
âI bet that's what they want you to think, they lull you into a false sense of security and thenââ
Cold air kisses the back of your legs as Spencer walks you toward the door, and the stifled soundscape widens again as you exit the house breathing air that doesnât smell like sawdust and fog machine juice and fake blood.Â
âNope. We're really all done, see?â
âYou survived! Oh my god, I survived!â Penelope calls, and you lift your head from Spencerâs chest, looking up at him. Heâs grinning, brushing his thumbs over your cheeks.Â
âYou honestly handled that better than I thought you would. I actually think I saw the guy dressed as a clown jump when you screamed.â
âIf I ever say I wanna do something scary again please donât listen to me. I hated that so much.â
He examines your face for a moment before determining that despite your rattled nerves, youâll be okay, and comforts you with a quick peck. âDo you wanna go get caramel apples now?â
âYes, please. And then can we do the maze, and just likeâI donât know, sit there and⌠meditate for a little while?â
He chuckles. âYeah. Just⌠donât think about what could be lurking in the corn.â
You give him a little shove. âYou know, I only did that haunted house thing because I know how much you love Halloween. Iâm being a good girlfriend and what do I get?â
He pulls you close again and kisses your hand.Â
âYou get a caramel apple,â he says, like itâs obvious, and more than thatâworth every trouble in the world. âCome on.â
You give him a begrudging smile and allow him to lead you, hand in hand. Maybe it is.Â

summary - after a wet dream and yunho waking up with a problem, he simple cant go back to sleep. Seeing you wake up not too long later and talk about a date that went south he realizing he's done. He needs you.
Iâve had him in my head since I went to my ateez concert so I need to shed this, also tell me what you thought.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
He panted; his body close to being drenched in sweat; The only stop was the cotton of his clothes soaking it up. This was the second night this week Yunho had that dream...Â
The same dream that had been haunting him on and off this month, one week it was all his body and brain could think about, the next week his brain watched you during the day only to think of the perverted scenarios and dream about it the week after that. It was a never-ending cycle that the male could not get rid of. Looking at his phone, he hissed as the screen blinded him â3:05?â he groaned, he was now lying wide awake, still not being able to catch his breath. Eventually he had come to reality, sitting up he let a weak sigh leave his throat before pulling away the comforter and seeing the wet patch of cum in his sweats. He should have known this was going to happen as he began to think about the dream again.Â
âF-fuck...so big~â He could not help but feel his heart burst like a fragile little virgin, but his body knew what it was doing. His tip a bright hot pink, watching his slit come in perfect alignment with your swollen clit before he began rubbing his cock against it. Your body shuttering at how sensitive you were âBaby please~ just let me have your cock..I need it so bad...â who was he to deny you? Denying you was never an option for him. Â
He chuckled a little just thinking about it, âalmost like a puzzle pieceâ he thought before groaning and soon combing the hair from his face, coming back to the cold and harsh reality. Finally getting up from his bed he made his way to the shower, the cold one didnât even suffice for him, but he made it work. Soon he even drank a glass of water as he sat on the couch only for it to take over his thoughts again. It wasnât till the chime of the dryer from the closet had caught his attention. Quickly getting up he walked to open it, seeing your basket he put the items inside and placed it next to the closet door.Â
He smiled to himself...he was nothing but proud. At least this time he hadnât take your panties, yet he reminded himself he hadnât returned the other ones. Minutes went by, Hours. It wasn't till he looked back into the hallway to see you rubbing your eye as you shut your bedroom door. It was 5 am, why didn't you get your rest?Â
âWhat are you doing up?â your question, that simple question but with your morning voice ached him. âOh...nothing...just woke up early I guess.â Hearing you chuckle and making yourself your own glass of water before joining him on the couch. Yunho took a deep breath only to hide it with a yawn right after, âyou still seem tired....â Hearing your words then watching you gulp the water; he could only reply by shrugging his shoulders. Â
The short responding but steady conversation went on and on, yet Yunho could only admire you. Your face was so precious. He only heard small mumbles leaving your lips. âYunho?â you chuckled causing him to snap back. God he really had to stop spacing out....â Iâm listeningâ was all he could respond back with, which he wasnât. He was just watching. He watched your lips move, how you nibbled on them sometimes, but only after you licked them.Â
Staring at your lips didn't last long though, once you started turning on the tv to see what late night shows had one more episode before ending, that was his time...Â
He being the secret pervert he was for you made sure his eyes scaled down. Straight to your breasts, scanning the area he felt his cock twitch seeing your nipples ever so slightly from your tank top, your bits of chub on your upper arm coming together with your chest and you hugged yourself slightly while finding your show to watch. Fuck your tits, his worst enemy, your chest and him had a love hate relationship. How could he love something so much without touching it, or how could he hate it so much, but it gave him an ache in his cock. Â
Your full and pretty tummy, that was the part of your body he wanted the most. Your stomach made him spin in circles. Thoughts of watching the soft fat jiggle ever so slightly as heâd bury his cock in your cunt. The thought of gripping it, rubbing it, spilling his cum on it. Yunho felt sick to his stomach but only because he continued to think about how he wanted you. Â
He could keep going, your legs, your thigh thighs, your cunt. Oh god your cunt...knowing behind those cute little sleep shorts was your cute chubby pussy. Knowing it was currently sitting nice and cute in your panties, in his mind it was just gushing and waiting for his cock. The thoughts of your pussy only inches from his face, placing kisses on your plush hood before stuffing his head in you. He knew you would taste so sweet. Â
âOh, I didnât tell you, that date went awful.â you added and that made his heart hurt a little. âI think he didnât realize how big I was, which his loss, Iâll just have to find a man who can handle me....â Yunho could handle you; he knew he could. Letting out a sigh he relaxed on the couch before watching you stretch your legs where they rested on his lap. He debated.... Should he admit this?Â
âWhat do you think, when you think of a guy who can handle you?â he questioned before clearing his throat to try and conceal the nervous gulp he just did. His hands rested on your ankle while playing with the small star charm on your anklet before feeling the butterflies in his stomach hearing your small chuckle. Seeing you nibble on your bottom lip as you watched him fumble with the charm. Seeing you think he smiled a little, he knew you had a certain idea in your mind. He could tell you were thinking about saying something risky.Â
Glancing at your pretty manicured feet he then looked up once you spoke âI want a man who wouldnât treat me any different than if I was a skinny girl, I want to be loved like that...I'm confident don't get me wrong, but sometimes I have my moments....â he watched you sigh. âLike I dressed up for that man, I got confident enough to wear a cute tight dress just for him to see my fat and get disgusted, I guess....â Seeing you get so venerable, his poor baby. He couldnât take it anymore. He needed to show you he loved you. Â
âI loved you in that dress...â he added before rubbing your ankle and taking a glance at you. âI thought you looked so fucking good...â seeing you smile a little he couldn't. He watched your chest heave a little, he was practically doing the same, matching his breathing with yours. âAnd yes, I mean it...â he added simply. He couldn't take it no more, he had to have you.Â
His cock growing a mind of its own, his tip already begging to be inside you. Pushing himself to that limit of holding on long enough. Using his last bit of energy, he made sure he placed himself between your thighs. Hish hands attached to your lips; his body pressed against yours. Feeling your nipples grow hard against his chest. Looking you in the eyes only for a second before attaching his lips to yours. Hearing your small moan but accept his lips just made his cock twitch in a way he could never describe.Â
His cock begging to have some friction before it explodes, his only option was to begin grinding against you. âY-Yunho~â fuck you sounded so sweet to him, hearing you moan his name almost made him so nervous he got sick. Just by those few reactions, he knew you were his, he couldnât let you go no matter who or what was told to him. The wet patch of your shorts began reaching through his sweat. Your sticky precum causing your shorts to stick to your cunt as he lifted his hips just enough to peek. Â
His rutted his hips closer, the pressure on your cunt from the weight of his lower half. His lips attached back to your neck, sucking the darkest shades of purple on your neck. âGonna..ngh...Yunho Iâm gonna cum~â your whimpers rang through his ears. His hips only got faster, you could barely hear him reply âMe too~â but you could hear his moans, he knew you did. Hearing the shaking gasp leave you and the way your nails dug into his skin he could tell you had come. Such a simple yet so sweet release.Â
His hips shuttered feeling the spurts of cum fill his boxers, a groan leaving his lips while he bit on your collarbone. Taking a deep breath, he hissed slightly once lifting his hips to reveal the sick mess between you two. âI can't get enough of you~ I have to cum in you baby, will you let me? Please say..please say yes...â he added, still trying to catch his breath. Seeing you nod, he knew that he was gone. Â
Sitting up completely he helped you remove your clothes piece by piece before scarring to remove his. Watching the sticky substance glisten on your cunt after he removed your shorts...gripping your leg he immediately started placing kissed on your ankle, slowly moving up your leg. He was so eager enough, but he had to let you know how badly he wanted to make you feel good and cherish what you were giving to him. Seeing your face flushed, your hands gripping the sofa pillow under your head to try and keep yourself grounded. You looked so precious.Â
Dipping his head down to your cunt he groaned slight, letting out a breath and watching you shiver from it touching your clit. Your pussy was so much better to see in real time, he struck. The way he imagined it through your shorts. The sticky cum covering your pussy completely, looking up at you one last time before running his tongue over your hood, take the soft fat into his mouth licking the thin layer of cum from it.Â
Hearing a pant leave your lips he groaned to himself once pulling away âI've always wanted to have you in my mouth...do you think I could be the only man to love this pussy after this?â he smirked a little before spreading your cunt. Watching your pussy lips gently pull apart, strings of cum soon disappearing the further spread. He sighed again seeing the small hole almost overflowing with the creamy substance that was gushing from you. âYour pussy is so pretty~ Why are you so fucking tempting...â he whispered the last bit to himself. Â
Scooping his hands around your thighs he soon had you locked to him. His lips immediately attaching to your clit. Feeling his tongue push past the opening of your outer cunt, his tongue slowly circling your clit. âF..feels so nice~â Your hands running through his hair before pushing his head deeper into your cunt. Your actions showing him you begged for more. He had to give you more.Â
Removing his arms from your thighs, one arm running up your body, caressing your tummy before his large hand gripped your breast, running his hands over your nipple. His free hand moving to your cunt, slender fingers slowly pushing past your hole, your gummy walls swallowing his two fingers. He could feel your lips tightening around him, your cunt getting warmer and wetter with each thrust his fingers gave.Â
He could tell from the shaking of your hips that you were close. Enjoying himself in his own little world in your cunt, he could feel himself someone processing your release once the small begs left your lips. âYunho~â You whispered, âFuck Yunho~â It got louder âUGH FUCK~!â Hearing your cry leave you brought him back to reality. Your hips bucking as he pulled his fingers from you revealing the cum before he sucked them clean. Â
Sitting himself up again he watched his cock, the precum oozing from his tip. A drip even falling onto your hood making you both chuckle softly. Seeing your hand come into view, it wrapped around his cock pumping it only a couple times. That dream now feeling like Deja vu once he seen his slit shape to your clit like a puzzle piece. But the Deja vu only lasted for a moment until you pushed his tip into you.Â
A small whimper leaving him, he never felt that in his dream. Bottoming his cock into you he chuckled softly hearing your moan and the small squelch from how wet you were. Pulling out completely it only took a deep breath before shoving his cock back into you. âI canât wait to give you my cum~.â His hips slowly started rocking but that wasnât enough for his baby as you softly began begging for more.Â
He picked up his pace, the small smacking sound echoed in the living room. âFuck. Fuck. Fuck!â He groaned with every thrust he made. Your loud cries being his motivation to go deeper. Watching you lift your legs, placing your feet on his chest, your gold anklet bouncing with each thrust he made. Your chub jiggling along with your breast, if he didn't find a distraction soon, he was a goner.Â
Immediately he took your ankle giving it a couple wet kisses before admiring your pretty feet by taking your toe into his mouth, sucking on it slightly to muffle his filthy moans. Your free leg dropping to his side giving him back the clear view of his cock disappearing in your cunt. âSo big baby so fucking big!â Your cried before looking up at him, your eyes barely open as you tried not to tightly screw them shut. Â
âA-all for you baby!â he muffled before gently removing your toe and going back to kissing your ankle. âThis cock is all yours! My c-cum is all yours! SHIT!â He groaned feeling tour cervix kiss his tip with each go, and he knew he was about to cum. âI'm gonna cum princess!â Your leg now pushed against your chest, and he leaned down to place his forehead against yours âGonna fill up this fat pussy~ ngh! S-show you how bad I love you, how I can't-fuck~ how I can-not go a day without you!âÂ
Your cunt sucking him in, begging for his cum. He could not hold it. His stomach dropped; his thighs covered in cum shivering as he plunged into your leaking pussy. The creamy substance done formed a ring around his cock, that sigh was the last straw. One more deep thrust before his warm load filled your insides. The shakey sighs leaving his lips before a choked gasp left him as he felt you cover his cock in your cum.Â
Your sticky bodies holding each other tight, the suction from your cunt almost stopping him from pulling away. Soon giving in he let out a whimper before he pulled his cock away from you. A small chuckle leaving the both of you before he gave in giving you a kiss âF-feel free to use me whenever you want. Iâm yours like I saidâ he added making you smile âI think we're gonna be closer than just roommates who fuck..â A flush formed on his face before giving you another kiss and just nodded. He had no problems with that. Â

CROSS YOUR HEART AND HOPE TO DIE
pairing: young coriolanus snow x reader
word count: 600+
summary: based on "follow you" by bring me the horizon. young/slightly ooc coriolanus snow finds comfort in y/n's arms.
a/n: yeah, i can't believe i'm returing from my hiatus with a coriolanus snow x reader fic, but here we are. please feel free to send in prompts/requests with him though ;)
"Because I don't want to fucking hurt you.â Coriolanus snapped. "God, half the time, I'm scared I could break you, even though I'm doing everything I can to hold back."
Your boyfriend was having a hard time lately. The anniversary of his father's death was creeping up and you knew he was having those thoughts again.
He had confided in you early on in your relationship his two biggest fears: losing you, and turning into his father. Now, he was spiraling with thoughts of both happening.
"Talk to me," you said, trying to reassure him. The two of you were by the lake, entangled in each other's arms on a blanket.
"I- I just..." he was trying to catch his breath. "I'm so angry all the time and you, you're an angel. You've never done anything wrong in your life. I don't deserve you, I don't know how to not fuck this up."
You couldn't help but smile at his name for you, reaching out to caress his cheek. He leaned into your familiar touch, one of the few things that could calm him down when he was like this.
It was true, he did get mad at the smallest things. Just last week, he got jealous of Sejanus for holding up your skirt as you went down the stairs, even though the two of you were clearly just friends.
And yesterday, he was frustrated with something that happened during training and came back to the cabin furious. You had asked him how his day was, like usual, and he had snapped at you.
"It was bad. Do you have to ask me that everyday?" he retorted, knocking over the items on the shelf closest to him.
But even though he got jealous or angry sometimes, you knew that he was working on it. He always felt awful afterward, and always made sure that you knew how sorry he was. That night, he had drawn a bath for you and even added some wild lavender he found near the water.
"Hey, you know I love you, right?" you said.
He sat up slightly to make better eye contact with you, "I do. But what if that's not enough?"
You frowned, "My love isn't?"
"No, no. I meant what if love, in general, is not enough? What if that's not enough to change my fate? Y/N, you know about my father, he was awful."
"I know, Coryo," you sighed. "But I also know you, and you're a good person. You love me, you love the Covey. You care about me, and your family. You want to be good, and I think that is enough."
Still, he didn't seem convinced. "I hate that I can barely remember him anymore, but he's still haunting me. The rebels that killed him haunt me. What if that happens to me?"
"Stop. No one here is going to do that, they know you're on our side. Don't you see? You're trying so hard to not be like your father, but you don't have to try to be good. You just are, deep-down in here," you pointed to where his heart is. "You are."
He leaned down now to pull you into a kiss. "Angel, can you promise me something?"
"What is it?"
"Promise me you'll never leave my side."
"Coryo, you could drag me through hell if it meant I could hold your hand. I will follow you to the ends of the earth. We're in this together."
That seemed to please him, finally. He wrapped his arms tighter around you and pulled you to lay back down with him. The two of you stared up at the stars, each silently wishing for this to work out.

The Lost Haven (5/16)
[ modern mafia ⢠Aemond x niece ⢠female ]
[ warnings: uprotected sex, drunk sex (with consent), incest obviously, smut, fingering, the angst, panic attack, violence, bad & morally unacceptable things ]
[ description: The vacation from eight years ago still haunts his memories and doesn't let him forget what happened between him and his niece, the daughter of his sister and Harwin Strong. Their paths separate and he immerses himself in his father's mafia world until the day she calls him for the first time since those events. Sexual tension, dark, dangerous, withdrawn, thirsty Aemond. ]
Authorâs note:Â As promised, this is another, this time official modern version of The Fall from the Heavens. In this version, Daemon is not related to the family, but is simply Rhaenyra's husband and the leader of the second gang, Alys and Larys are also not related to each other, but Larys is Harwin's brother. I will partly refer to the original series, hiding some easter eggs, and some will be a completely new, fresh plot. As in every universe, only Aemond calls her Rhaenys and this is not her real name (she is unnamed character and the others also do not know that he calls her that). There will be a lot more brutality and angst in this version, so watch out. You can read this as a standalone story.

When he got up from the pier and moved ahead, he felt like his head was going to explode. He clutched at the left side of his face, his artificial eye, feeling that, as usual when he panicked, his hypersensitive nerves made him feel a stinging discomfort and pain in his eye socket.
"Come. Let's take a walk." He heard a defiant, harsh voice in front of him and raised his gaze, surprised to see Daemon's silhouette heading towards him.
"Fuck off." He hissed, wanting to avoid him, but the man's hand clamped down aggressively on his arm, stopping him in mid-step.
"We need to talk about my daughter." He said, making his heart leap into his throat, cold sweat running down his back.
"What do I have to do with her?" He asked coldly, unable to look him in the face, staring dully ahead.
"Clearly too much. So?"
He pressed his lips into a thin line, his free hand slowly moving to the back pocket of his trousers, to his penknife.
"â don't â" Daemon said.
He swallowed hard when he let go of him, turning away, moving with a lazy, slow step towards the shore. He followed him, looking around, Jace's concerned face watching them from afar.
"Don't worry. I told him to wait until we were done talking." He said, standing between the trees in such a place to be sure no one would overhear them.
"Something happened between you two eight years ago. I want to know what." He said matter-of-factly, resting the weight of his body on his left leg, looking around as if he was annoyed at being forced to converse with him.
He felt the heat of horror in his stomach at his question, as if he had been caught red-handed.
"My left eye happened to me." He growled, wanting to close the subject and get as far away from this man as possible. "Anything else?"
"My daughter put something on her mouth before we left. It must have had some glitter on it, because it sparkled. But when I saw her just now, she no longer had any lip gloss on." He said wearily, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye as if to check his reaction, his gaze piercing and sharp, making his breath get stuck in his throat.
Oh God.
Oh my fucking God.
Seeing that he stood with his lips parted, looking at him like an idiot, Daemon chuckled and shook his head in disbelief.
"I knew she was hiding something." He muttered more to himself than to him. "How long has this been going on?"
What?
"What do you mean?" He asked, feeling a rush of adrenaline at the thought that his feelings, his sickening longing and desire might have been reciprocated by her.
Daemon looked at him with reluctance and sighed heavily.
"This thing between you two. What happened eight years ago?" He asked in a voice that indicated he was impatient and was not going to ask a third time.
He hated him with all his heart and despised him, but his directness, the way he saw what was elusive to others made him think, in a fit of desperation, that he had to get it off his chest.
That maybe when he finally told someone about it, he could move on at last.
"She was afraid of the dark and would come to sleep in my room." He muttered finally.
"You used her?" Daemon asked coldly, and he snorted, feeling a cold, unpleasant shiver run down his spine.
"I think you're completely out of your fucking mind." He hissed, not knowing what to do with his terror and his trembling hands, so he reached into the pocket of his jacket again and pulled out a cigarette, putting it in his mouth with an impatient flick of his hand.
Daemon stared at him wordlessly, watching as he lit it with his lighter.
"But something happened." He finally concluded, making him laugh involuntarily, taking a deep drag.
He shook his head, grinning broadly, not believing that he was having this conversation with this bastard, who was just waiting for his father to die to take over their business.
"Maybe." He hummed, letting out a puff of smoke through his nose, looking away into the complete darkness.
"You know she went to a psychiatrist? When she was in high school." Daemon said and he froze, his hand stopped in mid-motion towards his mouth. He swallowed hard, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, his cigarette burning slowly between his fingers.
This is when she started posting pictures of herself with these boys, he thought, feeling discomfort in his chest.
"How did she get your phone number?" He asked, snapping him out of his reverie, making his heart stop for a moment.
"What?"
"She called you even though you're not on any social media and you haven't seen each other for eight years. How did she get your phone number?"
He pressed his lips into a thin line, taking a drag on his cigarette and closed his eyes for a moment, letting the smoke out through his nose.
"I gave it to her."
"Why?"
"It's none of your fucking business."
"It's my business." He hissed.
Daemon took a step towards him, making him tense all over, ready to reach into the back pocket of his trousers if necessary.
"She's my daughter."
"She's not your daughter." He said coldly making his nostrils quiver in rage.
"You think blood ties are what make people family? Is that what your grandfather taught you? You know I used to work for him?" He asked, taking his cigarette from his hand, to his fury taking a drag on it before his eyes.
He was unable to respond, however, because what he said completely shocked him.
"Bullshit."
"Ask him. He took me in as a young boy, surely for similar tasks as you. Let me guess, you do the dirty work for him? Picking up cash from people who are late with their payment and making sure they will remember your warning well?" He sneered, hitting the cigarette with his finger, the ashes from it flew to the ground.
Daemon looked at him and smirked, seeing that he had turned pale.
Was he bluffing to get him off balance?
Perhaps he had been watching him and was now using it against him?
"You're using Jace for your own ends, and you're going to lecture me?" He growled through clenched teeth, feeling his heart pounding like mad in his chest, cold sweat running down his back.
Daemon snorted at his words, finishing off his cigarette, then threw it to the ground and crushed it with his boot.
"I gave him a choice: study and have a regular job, or work with me. He chose to work with me. What choice did Otto give you? Did he mention something about how you were already born in this world and will die in it? It would sound like him." He scoffed, putting his hands behind his back, sighing quietly.
He felt ashamed at the thought of feeling tears of humiliation under his eyelids, of feeling like a little deceived boy, someone's pawn, a dog his grandfather had let off the leash to bite someone who happened to get in his way.
It crossed his mind that he was not a human being to him.
"If you want to keep wallowing in this shit, be my guest, but stay the fuck away from my daughter or I'll kill you with my own hands." He hissed dryly and stepped around him, heading back to the building from which the loud music was coming, leaving him alone.
He drew in a loud breath as if he was suffocating and sat down on the sand, inhaling heavily, feeling that his whole body was shaking with fear.
Inhale and exhale, he repeated to himself, trying to calm down.
Inhale and exhale.
When he got up from the ground he just grunted and went back inside as if nothing had happened. His mother approached him, seeing his pale face and wide eyes.
"It's time for presents now. Did you bring what I asked you for?" She asked, clearly having in mind the books they had bought for his father, which he knew he wouldn't read anyway.
"â yes â yes, I'll bring them right away â" He muttered, noticing that his niece was not in the room.
He swallowed hard, heading for his car, escorted by the watchful gaze of his grandfather, thinking that perhaps she had gone home â he was relieved to see that Daemon's Mercedes was standing in the same place.
They were staying in hotel rooms for the night, he thought with disbelief and excitement, from which he felt ashamed.
He cursed under his breath as he closed the boot of his car and turned to see the figure of his grandfather walking towards him. He swallowed hard, correcting the packed set of books in his hands, turning his head away.
"So far there's been no bloodshed, has there? It's not so bad." He chatted him up with good-natured amusement, as if he wanted to make him laugh.
What choice did Otto give you?
Did he mention something about how you were already born in this world and will die in it?
Otto furrowed his brow, seeing the look on his face, and put his hand on his shoulder.
"I know how you feel at the sight of Luke. You want revenge. It's hard." His grandfather said calmly.
He snorted, shaking his head, realising that for the past hour he hadn't thought once about the boy who'd taken his eye from him.
He didn't give a shit.
He was small, scared, pathethic boy, nothing more.
What kind of opponent could he possibly be for him?
"It just so happened that I haven't had a chance to think about him. My head has been occupied by the people I've left behind with a few scars." He said finally in a manner from which Otto blinked, shifting from foot to foot.
"Are you overwhelmed by it? You can tell me." He said making him burst out in loud, unnatural laughter.
"Are you fucking serious?" He asked, and his grandfather shushed him, looking around.
"Keep your voice down. What's got into you now? We don't know how much time your father has left. We must watch our interests, for his death is coming whether we want it or not, and his passing will weaken us. Aegon would rather focus on running his brothel than real business, and I need you. You will replace me someday." He said, placing his hands on his arms in a way as if he was just giving him his blessing.
He stared at him in disbelief, feeling both horror and emptiness in his mind, convinced that it was Aegon who was about to take over the whole business.
The magnitude of everything that was happening around him so unexpectedly overwhelmed him, making it difficult for him to breathe.
I gave him a choice: study and have a regular job, or work with me.
"I want to study archaeology."
He heard the words leave his mouth, but he was sure it wasn't him who said them: they came out of his throat involuntarily, like the babbling of a small child.
His grandfather's reaction, the way he laughed in disbelief, shaking his head made him simply want to cry.
Otto saw it: saw the tear that ran down his face, saw his tightly clenched lips, saw his nostrils twitching with every breath.
"You're serious." He stated finally and sighed, closing his eyes.
"We'll think about it when things calm down. Maybe we can combine it with some part-time studies or night school. We'll find an understanding." He said, patting him on the shoulder, but he looked at him blankly, not seeing him.
He laughed.
It was his dream, and he laughed at it.
He stepped around him, wiping his cheek, returning to his asylum, his fortress in his mind, one that no one had access to.
His mother took their gift from him, along with a watch from Aegon and a set of fountain pens from Helaena and Otto, standing first in line to give Viserys a gift.
However, instead of focusing on his father, hardly sitting in his chair, his attention was focused on what his sister was saying to her husband behind his back.
"â she went to bed because she was feeling unwell â she said she had a stomach ache â"
"â our rooms are next to each other? â" He heard Daemon's voice.
"â yes â as we agreed â they are all double except hers â"
He swallowed hard at the thought that not only was she staying the night, but she was alone.
He thought, giving his father a gift from himself and his mother, forcing out of himself dry wishes for his health and prosperity, that he needed her like never before, that she would understand him.
She would not laugh at him.
He could still feel her plump, soft lips tasting of strawberries, and even the thought that Daemon knew he had kissed her could not make him give up the idea.
His mother insisted he stay another hour out of courtesy, so he surprised his older brother by demanding he bring them a bottle of whisky.
Aegon did so eagerly, pouring it into their glasses.
"What's the matter, brother? You seem shaken. Has the sight of your nephew roused you so? Or maybe your niece?" He asked, clinking his glass against his, tilting half of it immediately down his throat.
He took a loud sip from his glass, feeling an unpleasant sting in his chest at his words.
He did not answer.
Aegon scratched his chin, seeing the look on his face, the people around them getting drunker and drunker, dancing like it was the best night of their lives.
He couldn't believe how the people shaking this city could look so pathetic from the sidelines.
"Did you really kiss her? Then, eight years ago." He asked finally, and he froze, staring dully ahead.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Well, you know. Then, during our holiday. I yelled at you like some idiot, and now I think, after all, we were just little kids. I was a terrible son of a bitch." He hummed, spreading out comfortably in his chair.
"You still are." He said dispassionately, feeling a black, boundless void in his mind, involuntarily taking another deep sip of his whisky.
Aegon looked at him for a moment in thought.
"I was jealous. You left me alone with those idiots, her brothers, while you ran around and played in the sand by yourself. You didn't even ask me if I wanted to come with you." He muttered, already a little drunk himself, turning his glass in his hands, clearly sunk in his memories.
He sighed at his words and raised his gaze to the ceiling, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Stop your bullshit. You humiliated me along with them at every turn. She was the only one who didn't do that and you're surprised it was her I ran away from you with? What fucking choice did I have? What do you all want from me? Hm?" He growled finally feeling that he was on the edge, that he was about to explode and something bad was about to happen.
Aegon swallowed hard, looking at him with big eyes, horrified.
"I'm sorry. For that joke with your boxers." He mumbled, lowering his gaze. "I regretted it later. But it was too late."
"Joke? You know what would be a really good joke? If our mother found out now that the club you so bravely run is just a cover for a brothel. That you fuck your own whores and don't even pay them for it." He said coldly with a broad grin, leaning his elbow against the back of the chair.
"Say, brother, wouldn't that be fun?" He asked, and after a moment stood up quickly, cursing loudly as Aegon vomited on the table.
His mother made him help his brother get to his room and together they walked to the reception desk, meeting his step-sister there.
"Reservation for Rhaenyra Targaryen." She said while his mother talked to the other woman about the room reserved for him and Aegon.
The thought that he was to sleep in the same space with him made him sick.
"Room 301, 302 and 303 â the key for room 301 was already handed out two hours ago." Said the receptionist. Rhaenyra nodded her head.
"Yes, yes, my daughter is already in her room, we just ask for the rest of the keys." She said.
He swallowed hard, feeling that his heart was pounding like mad at the dangerous thought that crossed his mind.
Room 301.
He carried Aegon into their room, which he had opened with a card earlier, and threw him on the bed like a sack of potatoes. He covered him carelessly with the duvet and sighed heavily, looking into the fridge, seeing a full bottle of whisky in it.
He pulled it out without thinking, opening the window wide, feeling that he was hot and cold at the same time. He unscrewed the cap from the glass bottle and took a few deep sips from it, sitting down on his bed.
Should he go to her or not?
She was probably already asleep.
Should he bother her after what he'd done to her?
What was he supposed to say to her?
Apologise?
There were no words, no sentences that could make up for the fact that he had not answered her for eight years.
He wanted to express his condolences to her after her father's death, but he didn't.
He was afraid that she would then want to renew contact, to meet up â he knew he wouldn't survive that, that it would all come back to him like a wave, that he would only ridicule himself.
He had never drank alcohol at such a rapid pace before, angry, sad, bitter, heartbroken, exhausted, always having to be the more considerate, cool, calculating brother when Aegon only lived from party to party.
He knew that his older brother, like him, could not cope with what was going on around them, with how brutal and ruthless the world they lived in was. He had witnessed several shootings in which people with whom he had been drinking shots of vodka the day before had lost their lives.
I want to study archaeology.
What the fuck had occurred to him to say that?
He felt an overwhelming shame that he had humiliated himself in front of his own grandfather, that he had shown that he was weak, that now neither he nor anyone else would respect him.
He took another loud, deep gulp of whisky at the thought, feeling the room around him become more and more blurred, his mind seeming to drift away and relax making his thoughts flow through his head like a river.
She tasted so wonderful: her lips. Her kisses were so sweet, tender, warm, moist. She must have kissed with her tongue before. With which boy for the first time? Probably with that fucking Robb, the hollow handsome guy from her year. He certainly didn't treat her well, otherwise she'd still be with him despite that photo on Facebook. Or maybe they were still together, only he didn't know it? She hadn't posted a picture with him in a year. They certainly weren't together. Fuck, how he hated him.
Had he managed to sleep with her before she realised he was a two-faced bastard? Or was she still a virgin? No, what he did to her didn't scare her, she must have had some experience. Was he tender to her? Had he prepared her well, made her all moist and eager? Did he do it slowly, did he make sure he wasn't causing her pain? Was he telling her how much he loved her, how good she made him feel?
He blinked, feeling that his cheeks were wet, that he was breathing loudly through his mouth, whooping with tears, that there were some high-pitched, squeaky sounds coming from his mouth as if he were a little boy.
I want to go to her, he thought.
I want her to hug me.
It turned out that getting out of his room and walking a small part of the corridor proved to be more difficult than he thought, because everything around him was spinning. He had no idea why he had taken his bottle with him, but he thought he felt safer with it.
Finally, he spotted the door with the number 301 in front of his face and knocked far too loudly, swallowing hard for air.
"â Rhaenys â fuck â" He muttered, feeling himself lose his balance and fall to the floor with a loud thud. He hissed, moving to the wall, leaning his head against it.
"â I want to go to sleep â" He mumbled pleadingly, wanting only to fall asleep next to her, nothing more.
He closed his eyes and hummed when he heard a quiet creak, and then her voice.
"Come."
He woke up, looking at her surprised, at her sweet, innocent face, and picked himself up quickly, too quickly, losing his balance again, falling to his knees, dropping the bottle and its contents on the floor.
"â fuck â" He cursed, trying to reach for it, but her hands tightened on his arm.
"â no â leave it â come inside â"
He was delighted to find that as he collapsed on her bed everything around him smelled of her â his erection pulsed happily at the thought, pleased as he was. He murmured when she felt him pull his shoes off his feet, making him spread out more comfortably, and then reached into his leather jacket.
"â you'll be too hot â" She whispered, and when he opened his eyes he saw her face above him in the darkness, the warm look of her gentle eyes.
He involuntarily put his arms around her waist and pulled her close making her squeal, his hand running over her wonderfully soft hair and neck.
"â come here â God, you smell so good â"He muttered with delight, in his original intention just wanting to hug her, spreading his legs apart so she could lie between them, pressed against his chest.
However, out of some natural reflex he kissed her, and as their fleshy lips pressed against each other in a loud, dirty, sticky kiss full of their tongues, his cock bumped against her belly, betraying his arousal.
"â tell me to leave â" He mumbled between one kiss and the next, stroking her fragrant hair, her back and buttocks, thinking that he didn't want to hurt her, that he just wanted to feel her, just like he did that night eight years ago when he kissed her for the first time. "â tell me to stop â"
But she didn't say anything, neither when his hands slid under the material of her panties nor when his fingers tentatively sank into her hot, silky womanhood.
She was leaking.
She whimpered into his mouth, quivering all over in his embrace as he began to play with her throbbing entrance, merely teasing it with the tips of his fingers, feeling her hard nipples pressed against his chest, slowly building hot tension in his lower abdomen.
"â shhh â easy now â" He breathed out into her mouth delighted that she was aroused, that she was all wet and thirsty for him and his caresses. His thumb pressed and stroked her bud in circular motions while the rest of his hand roamed over her hot slit, throbbing with longing.
Instead of pushing him away, she kissed him deeper and bolder, making his swollen erection painfully hard, pushing impatiently against her abdomen. He figured he had to prepare her well first for what he wanted put inside her, so he tentatively slid the tip of his middle finger into her.
She moaned loudly into his throat as he began to tease her, sliding his finger in and out, her fleshy walls soaking wet, warm and rough.
God, how he wanted to feel her.
"â uncle â we can't â we can't, we can't, we can't â" She cried out, against her words rolling her hips back and forth, falling and rising on his finger, making her moisture begin to leak onto his palm with a loud click.
"â we can â we will â we need to prepare you properly â shhh â" He gasped, soothing and hushing her like a small child. He stroked her hair with his free hand, hugging her to his chest, with the other fucking her eager cunt with his finger, rubbing his swollen manhood against her belly.
"â please â it's wrong â God, it's so wrong â" She pleaded, clasping her hands over his turtleneck, her blurry, pretty face red with exertion and desire, her sweet lips parted wide in lust while her eyes remained closed in euphoria.
We're going to fuck, he thought, sliding his finger out of her â he put his hand between their bodies, unzipping his trousers, sliding their material together with his boxers, releasing his long, throbbing erection, dripping with impatience.
"â shhh â I know, baby â I will take care of you â I got you â" He whispered, holding the base of his length with one hand, the other directing her weeping cunt at the pink head of it, opening her wide with a low groan of pleasure, throwing his head back.
She was so warm, enveloping his twitching, fat manhood wonderfully on all sides, his beautiful, beautiful niece.
"â please, Aemond, please â" She mewled into his mouth, spreading her thighs wide before him, letting him sink all the way into her flesh with one deep, slow thrust.
"â let me â I need you â" He mumbled, feeling like his cock was about to explode with arousal, imposing a fierce, violent pace on her at once, slamming into her with sure, greedy stabs of his hips, feeling like he'd lost his breath.
He concentrated only on that natural, primal reflex: thrusting, invading deep into her body, stretching her tight walls on the thick part of his erection, helping himself with his hands that held her plump buttocks in place.
His thrusts into her were more violent, deeper and faster than his slips out of her, slower and full of anticipation, and as his hips began their next movement, he sunk from the uncomfortable coldness of the room into the warm wetness of her spasming pussy again.
They both panted and moaned, trying to find a rhythm together, her hips bucking while her hands found a support on his chest, responding to each of his pushes, pounding into her throbbing cunt, clicking from her moisture, again and again.
"â I â ah â mghmmm â G-God â" She mumbled out, bursting out crying, simultaneously terrified and delighted at what they were doing exactly as he did, her buttocks slapping against his thighs, sinking him into her warmth, giving his cock a sure, thirsty squeezes.
"â thaaat's it â that's my girl â fuck, so good â" He breathed out, finding in his mind's eye that fucking her, being deep inside her, making love to her was a kind of breakthrough of sorts, taking at last what he had always wanted without regard for what he would feel tomorrow.
What he felt now was the only thing he wanted to feel for the rest of his life, and the thought of it made him feel a squeeze in his testicles indicating that he was close to reaching his peak.
He clamped his hands on her buttocks, spreading them apart with her moan of exertion, sinking into her as deeply as he could, thinking that he was about to come inside his own niece and it was going to feel so fucking good.
"â just a little more â please, just a little more â let me cum inside, baby â" He whispered tenderly, pressing her face against his neck as she whimpered loudly, calling his name, her body shook with an orgasm so strong that her pussy began to clench hard around his cock, making his warm semen simply spurt inside her.
"â God â oh my fucking God â" He muttered, closing his eyes, tilting his head back as his body shook with convulsions, experiencing the most powerful fulfilment of his entire life.
"â oh, baby â" He mumbled out, for a moment seeing only darkness in front of his eyes, completely besotted with pleasure, thrusting his hips into her for another moment with loud slaps of her moisture, feeling the remnants of his seed fill her womb.
Her womb.
Oh God.
What if she wasn't on the pill?
His drunken mind decided after a moment that it didn't matter in the slightest.
He was going to end it all, go study archaeology like she did, fuck her every day in his flat and have lots of kids with her.
Yes, he thought, feeling as calm as ever, recognising that this plan was perfect.
He hummed, pulling his leather jacket from under his back, covering their bare hips. He put his arms around her again, pressing his face against her temple, his lungs filled with the scent of vanilla, her sweat and her sweet wetness from which his thighs were all sticky.
The smell of what they'd done, how pleasant it was.
How right it was.
"â sleep â don't worry â I want this baby â" He mumbled and she just hugged him tighter, placing a soft, tender kiss on his neck, apparently not caring that his soft manhood was still gently throbbing deep inside her.
He sighed in relief, recognising that this was her answer, that she wanted to be his girlfriend again and have children with him in the future.
He closed his eyes and after a few minutes fell into a stony sleep, fulfilled and happy for the first time in eight years.
Throughout the night he could still feel the closeness of her body, her scent, her little hands embracing his waist. He pressed her face against his neck with one hand entwined in her hair, the other having slipped under her panties to feel her soft buttocks beneath his fingers, their legs entwined together on her cramped single bed.
It was so peaceful.
He woke up sensing that it was only dawn, not knowing for a moment where he was or what had happened.
The first thing he felt was her scent â he opened his eyes and then he saw it: his hand that was slipped under the material of her underwear, placed on her buttock, his unzipped trousers, her calm face pressed against his chest, sunk into a deep sleep, her hand lying on his heart.
They fucked.
He came inside her.
He had the best orgasm of his life with his own niece.
He swallowed hard, feeling that the remnants of the alcohol were still humming in his head, giving him a terrible migraine. He sighed, closing his eyes, resting his cheek against her hair, recognising that the fact that he felt no remorse after what had happened between them was evidence that he was completely out of his fucking mind.
He heard her murmur as she twisted in his embrace, snuggling her face into his neck. The knuckles of his free hand stroked her plump cheek as his lips kissed the top of her head, causing her to lift the gaze of her bright eyes to him.
They stared at each other for a moment in complete silence â her small fingers rose to his face, her thumb stroked his jaw, responding to his tender caress as he pressed his forehead against hers.
There was nothing they could say, he thought.
No words could describe what they felt, what they were experiencing deep inside themselves, what they wanted.
As she lifted herself on her arm, moving closer to his face, he reached out to touch her, and they soft mouth met in a warm, sticky, lazy kiss. Her moist lips pulled away from his with a quiet click only to cling to him again, again and again, their caresses slow, tender, full of understanding and a desire to comfort.
Their hands stroked each other's faces, her soft breasts hidden under the material of her Tshirt pressed against his chest, her scent filling his lungs completely.
He felt at peace.
He felt at home.
"I know it's wrong, but I don't regret this." She whispered between one soft kiss and the next, closing his lower lip between her mouth, sucking on it for a moment with his gasp of delight.
"Neither do I." He hummed, reciprocating by running the tip of his slick tongue over her palate, his fingers slipped under the material of her panties, digging into the smooth skin of her buttocks.
"Mmm." She purred into his mouth, enclosing his cheeks in her hands, laying on top of him, letting him use her body again to rub it against his throbbing, half-hard manhood.
"One more time?" He suggested, panting quietly, rolling his hips so that he was brushing against the space between her thighs, his hand from her buttock sliding lower again, checking her condition. He grinned under his breath as he felt her warm wetness under the tips of his fingers, sliding one of them slowly into her hot, throbbing flesh.
"â look at you â all sticky â" He gasped in delight between their one messy, loud kiss and another, their desire-swollen lips beginning to devour each other in the chaos of their tongues and teeth, her moans sweet and vulnerable, doomed to give him what he wanted.
"â you â you on top â" She mumbled, and he sighed, immediately turning her onto her back, slipping her panties off her hips in a nimble, quick motion.
He didn't want to take away her sense of security or expose her completely, so he decided not to undress her or himself, for now, just wanting to feel her again.
"â come here â just like that, spread 'em wide â" He praised her, releasing his swollen erection from his trousers, seeing how her thighs instantly opened out to the sides in front of him, showing him her glistening pink folds, from which his pearly semen leaked.
"â what a sight â I will make sure I've filled you properly â" He gasped, and she nodded, her hands clenched on the pillow on either side of her head, her mouth parted wide in a heavy, excited breath.
They both groaned pathetically as, with the help of his free hand, using the other to support his balance, he directed the fat, dripping head of his cock against her throbbing slit, pushing between her hot opening with a soft, slow thrust.
Her walls, hot and leaking with her moisture, made an involuntary resistance to the thickest part of his manhood â she whimpered quietly with effort, throwing her head back, spreading her thighs wider to make the task easier for herself and him, wanting to take it inside.
"â it hurts? â" He muttered, and she shook her head, clenching her eyes, struggling to fit what was just tearing into her body.
He leaned over her, as with a deep, lazy thrust of his hips he slid all the way into her with their sigh of exertion, feeling his erection pulsing all over, embarrassingly close to fulfillment now that he was sober.
"â I'm going to start moving now â okay? â" He asked, and she nodded quickly, raising her hands to his cheeks, pulling him close to her making, together with the movement of his hips, their lips join in a hot, tender kiss.
They panted into each other's throats, their foreheads pressed together as he imposed a sharp, slow pace on her, building the path to their fulfilment with each push, making sure he pounded into her at such an angle as to tease each time a little spot deep inside her, just above her entrance.
"â feels good? â" He exhaled, looking down at her, at her pretty, flushed face, at her hair scattered in disarray around her head, at her puffy, sweet lips parted in deep breaths, swollen from his caresses.
He wanted to make sure he wasn't hurting her, that she wasn't doing it out of fear but because she was just as desperate as he was.
"â yes â yes, Aemond, so, so good â" She mumbled sweetly, tilting her head back, letting him press his lips against her long neck, leaving hot, wet marks on her skin while her eager, slick cunt gave him a greedy, tender squeezes, sucking him deep inside her fleshy core. He moaned low feeling it, involuntarily speeding up, thrusting into her faster and faster with loud slaps of their hips.
Her fingers tightened on his shoulders, her body rocked to the rhythm of his thrusts, coming out to meet him willingly, his swollen, throbbing cock all soaked in their shared wetness, making her little pussy click every time he opened her on the widest part of his manhood.
"â just like that â just a little more â your uncle is close â" He exhaled in delight, feeling the tension in his lower abdomen reach its zenith, his whole body tense, coming closer with each push of his hips to the fulfilment he so needed, the bed beneath them began to creak loudly.
His hands slid under her buttocks, clamping down on her warm, soft skin, squeezing them towards each other so that they pressed down on his quivering erection, making her almost painfully tight.
"â fuckkk â" He cursed, biting his lower lip to keep from making any loud noise, hearing her moans of pleasure, her body quivering in fulfillment as her wetness ran down from her pulsing folds onto the sheet beneath them.
He had to cover her mouth with his hand, hearing movement in the corridor around them, knowing that everyone was getting up to go to breakfast, but he only wanted one thing: to come deep inside her.
He sighed and groaned quietly, surprised how a strong shudder shook his body, his eyebrows arched in pain and pleasure as he felt his seed fill her again, again, again, again, making her his, only his.
"â you are my ruin â" He gasped, rolling his hips back and forth, sinking into her beloved, soaked cunt for a moment longer, feeling wonderful waves of hot fulfilment surge through his body.
He collapsed on top of her, panting heavily, together with her just lying there, trying to calm his breathing. He thought, cuddling his face into her welted, sweaty cheek, that being deep inside her felt somehow strangely natural.
Strangely right.
"Are you taking pills?" He asked finally, swallowing hard. He felt her body tense up, her fingers involuntarily clenching on the material of his black turtleneck.
"No."
He nodded, his thumb running over her cheek, wanting to let her feel that he had reckoned with that option when he did what he did.
Twice.
"It's your body. But know that I'd like to be the father of your child. Someday. You decide when. If ever." He whispered in her ear, placing a soft, moist kiss on her cheek.
He heard her swallow hard, clearly completely shocked by his words.
"IâŚI don't know what I'll do yet. I need to think about it." She finally muttered, obviously not knowing how else she could respond to his confession without offending him. He sighed quietly at her words, feeling a cold squeeze in his chest.
"Let me know when you've made your decision about...you know. Please."
"So that you won't answer me?" She asked in a trembling, breaking voice.
He raised himself on his arm, wanting to look at her face, but she turned her head in the opposite direction, her eyes glazed from tears, her quivering lips clenched into a thin line.
"I'll. I swear I'll. Hey. Hey, look at me." He whispered, cupping her cheeks between his fingers, gently turning her face towards him, tear after tear began to run down her cheeks as her eyebrows arched in pain.
She didn't believe him and he didn't blame her.
"I mean it. I swear. IâŚ" He didn't finish as they both flinched when someone started pounding on her door with their fist.
"Open up." He heard Daemon's voice and immediately slid out of her, fastening his trousers in a hurry, terrified, her eyes big as she quickly grabbed the material of her panties and put them on her thighs.
"Wait a minute!" She called out, handing him his jacket and shoes.
"Hide in the toilet." She whispered to him and he nodded, immediately locking himself in the small room, trying not to make a sound.
Fuck.
After a moment, he heard her open the door, Daemon's voice loud and clear.
"Get changed, we're leaving immediately." He said.
"But why so sudden? I'd like to have breakfast. Has something happened?"
"Viserys is dead."

a haunted house with a very handsy steve || 18+
Your body jolts when a pair of hands grips your shoulders.
âSteve!â you scold, spinning around to face the culprit.
The pathway around him is dark, save for a few colored strobe lights shining in an erratic pattern. Your heartbeat races, the haunted house keeping you on edge.
Your boyfriend snickers where he stands in front of you, though the sound is mostly drowned out by the noise machines playing throughout the attraction.
The hair on the back of your neck stands up, on high alert as you wait for the next monster to jump out at you. You have to stop and wonder how and why you let Steve drag you in here in the first place.
âItâs not funny,â you pout at him, moving your face away when he tries to kiss you better.
âBaby, câmon,â he says, trying to coax the attitude out of you.
You keep walking forward, letting him follow hot on your trail. He wraps his arms around you from behind, strong and muscular as they pull you against him.
âSteeeeve,â you whine for the second time, eager to just get the hell out of this haunted house.
His lips press to the shell of your ear, and you canât deny the way your heart flutters in your chest. The feeling of his warm body molded to your back makes heat pool in the pit of your stomach, and now you really need to get out of this damn house.
Youâre about to round the corner into another scare zone â you can tell by the shouts that come from up ahead â when Steve pulls you off into a side room.
âBabe, whatââ you start to speak, but he cuts you off with a hot kiss to your mouth.
Youâre hidden behind a curtain, definitely not supposed to be back in this area, and you wriggle in your boyfriendâs grasp where he has you pressed against a wall.
âSteve, what if somebody catches us?â you ask, trying and failing to escape his pleading mouth. He chases you in whichever direction your head tilts, pressing kiss after kiss to the corner of your mouth, your jaw, your cheek.
The thought of Chief Hopper raiding the attraction and kicking you two out is mortifying, but your brain is saying one thing and your body is saying something entirely different. Youâre pliant beneath his wandering hands, letting him caress all the softest parts of you.
âNobodyâs gonna catch us, honey,â he murmurs, letting his hands slide up beneath your shirt. When his fingers reach the cups of your bra and dip under, you shiver.
You bite your lip, a quiet moan escaping you. Your clothes suddenly feel too tight, your panties clinging to your skin with wetness that seeps through to your jeans.
You clutch the collar of his sweater in your hand, pulling him to you in a heated kiss. You let your tongue trace his bottom lip, satisfied when he groans into your mouth. His noises are barely audible with the screams of teenagers getting scared in the maze, but the vibrations reverberate against you.
âBabyâŚâ he whines when his fingers cup your heat, feeling how soaked you are even through a layer of denim. âSheâs so fucking wet for me.â
âSteve, please,â you beg, craving his touch, ravenous for it.
He moves to unbutton your pants, tugging the zipper down with haste. You know youâre about to get the sweet, sweet fullness of his fingers inside of you, and your body prickles with anticipation.
Before he can pull your jeans out of the way, though, the curtain is yanked back, a loud voice letting out a booming roar of a noise.
âJesus!â Steve yells as you scream bloody murder, a masked figure standing in your once private space.
A laugh comes from beneath the mask, smug and gravelly. Your heart pounds so hard you can hear the blood pumping in your ears.
âWait a minute,â Steve grumbles, reaching forward and ripping the mask off the strangerâs head.
A mop of curly brown hair and a shit-eating grin appear before you, your hand over your heart as you steady your breathing. Your body relaxes at the sight of the familiar face.
âEddie, I swear to god, man!â You watch as Steve shoves the other boy, making him erupt in another fit of laughter.
âGot you, fuckers,â Eddie says, smirking. âNo playtime in the haunted house, kiddies,â he taunts, waggling a finger like a teacher scolding some bad five year olds.
âScrew you, dude,â Steve grumbles, all the while youâre buttoning up your jeans and reaching for his hand.
âCâmon, big boy. Letâs go back to my place,â you coax, dragging him out from behind the curtain, Eddie gesturing in the right direction with an outstretched arm.
âBehave yourselves!â he calls after you, getting the middle finger from Steve. You canât help but laugh, rolling your eyes at the antics.
âBye, Eddie!â you call.
âGet back to work, asshole!â Steve yells over his shoulder, before turning his attention to you. âI forgot he was fucking working here,â he tells you, pouting and petulant.
âDonât be all mopey on me,â you coo. âThe sooner we get out of this haunted house, the sooner you can finish what you started.â You say this with your lips nearly pressed to his ear, placing a teasing kiss on the harsh outline of his jaw.
âSo, should we start running? Cause Iâll run,â he suggests, making you laugh once more.
âBeat you to the exit?â
âNot a chance, honey.â
