Making Amends (Repost)

Eric Campbell wasn't sure where his life had taken this turn. But if he had to pick a moment, it would be the one when he revealed to his high school best friend, Ryan, that he was gay and in love with him.

Ryan, although receptive to his friend's sexuality, refused any interest in him and from that moment on the friendship cooled down. The situation worsened when Ryan started dating Vanessa, a classmate for whom Eric had no sympathy and who, upon discovering his secret, decided to make his life a real hell. Telling the whole school the truth about his sexuality, which made Eric move to another city.

Between a shaken friendship with someone who was moving and a relationship with a girl who soon revealed she was pregnant with his child, Ryan opted for the second option. And for more than 20 years the two friends did not see each other.

With the sudden death of his father, the only living relative he still had, Eric was forced to return to his hometown to organize the house and the few assets he inherited. Which put him back in proximity to his old friend, today a successful lawyer, who ironically lived on the same block, along Vanessa and their son, who was spending his college vacation at his parents' house.

While Ryan kept the lean body and the long shiny hair that he was so proud of since his youth, Eric accumulated excessive weight, due to the long hours working as a graphic designer, a lot of fast food, and a complete lack of exercises, which associated with his scruffy beard and messy red hair gave him an unkempt look.

It's not that his life was horrible, his career guaranteed him financial stability to live comfortably. But it wasn't a happy life either, as his youth experiences prevented him from having any meaningful relationships and raising a family. And that's what he thought as he slowly fell asleep while watching porn videos, lying on the couch at his parents' old house.

....

“Hello son” Eric got scared when he heard his late father's voice. Looking around he found himself sitting on the same room he had fallen asleep on but with the body and appearance of when he was 18 years old.

“Dad..? But you passed away..”

“Yes, I'm dead, son. But that doesn't mean I can't do something to make amends with you.”

"Make amends? What do you mean?

"The truth is, I didn't support you when I should have, even though I knew I could have done so much more for you than I did. All because deep down I couldn't accept and love you for who you are... but no more. Tomorrow when you wake up you will receive the first of my gifts, after that I want you to go to your old friend Ryan's house to receive the remaining!”

….

It was a strange morning for Ryan, first he woke up alone in his bed, with the odd feeling that someone should be lying next to him. What didn't make the slightest sense, that side of the bed had been empty for over 15 years, when Vanessa, his ex-wife, had abandoned him, leaving him to raise the couple's son, Jacob, alone. Thinking about it made his head hurt, giving him a feeling of unreality.

Speaking of unreality… Ryan was at that very moment sitting across from his old school friend, Eric, who had decided to pay a visit, while he awaited the outcome of his father's probate process. But this Eric was very different from the image he had in his head, acquired by seeing the photos posted on the other man's Instagram, which he had discreetly followed in an embarrassed way over the last few years, thinking with regret of his actions in the last year from school.

The Eric sitting across from him was a fine specimen of a man, with well-developed gargantuan sized muscles, a perfect face and very well-groomed hair. Contrasting with the obese and careless figure that insisted on appearing in the back of his head.

“So, where's Jake? You know I love that boy.” Eric said with a smile on his face.

"He must be in his room getting ready for the day" Ryan replied without thinking. But soon a question came to his lips

“What do you mean with “love”? When did you see him?”

“Yesterday, and the day before, and in all the holidays he spent with me since his childhood.” Eric answered with a smile.

"I do not know what you're talking about. Jacob never spent a day with you.”

“Did you hit your head somewhere, Ry? Jake has spent more time at my house than his own since Vanessa left. You decided it was better for him to stay with his godfather than a nanny.”

“I… I… don't…” Ryan stammered. As consternation came over his face.

“Ry, is everything okay? Now you really worried me.” Eric replied with concern.

It was then that hazy memories surfaced in Ryan's mind. He leaving Jacob as a child at his friend's house, the three walking on a beach, a video sent from an old cell phone, showing Jacob holding a tooth and laughing with a toothless smile while Eric's laughter could be heard in the background.

“I, yes, yes. I don't know how I could forget about that, Red"

The old nickname returning to Ryan's lips as if had never left.

“But I don’t understand, you left a long time ago…”

“Yes, Ry, but I came back when my best friend asked me to help him raise his son”

“Sure, sure. - That made sense, didn't it? "For which Jacob and I will be forever grateful," he concluded.

“There's no need to thank me, ever, I did everything with the greatest pleasure, I love the little devil, and speaking of him, it seems he's not so little anymore. Have you been working out, Jake?” Eric said looking at the skinny dark haired young man who entered the room at that moment. Which in turn replied somewhat disconcerted:

“Humm, no…not really. But… who are you?"

“Jacob, this is no way to talk to Uncle Eric””

“Uncle… Eric … ? what the fuck, dad?

“Jacob, what language is that? You may be a grown man now, but inside my house you won't treat an old friend like that, apologize, now!"

"But, but…”

“Leave the kid alone, Ry. He was always hot-blooded. And he was always a smartass to. I'm sure it's some joke, isn't it, Devil?"

"I don't know what… "- Jacob started to say, but stopped at the same moment when he noticed his father's stern look. “Yes, a joke of course, Uncle…?”

“Hahaha, and he continues! Always the same devilish boy, even though he's a man now, and what a man, look how big you are kid, look at that musculature!”

Both Jacob and Ryan were unable to understand Eric's comments, Jacob had been a quiet and serious child, a behavior he maintained until adulthood, in addition to that he was always averse to physical activities, preferring to pursue academic achievements, as well as his father, which translated into a thin body for life. But those memories began to blur and mix with those of a mischievous boy, given to pranks, who from an early age practiced all kinds of sports.

"Ah, sit here beside me boy, I want to know everything you're up to in college, you must be the terror of the sororitys, and the fraternities too..." - Eric said with a wink, as he pulled Jacob making him sit down up next to him on the couch.

“Hum, I don't know… I don't know… - said Jacob with a feeling of anguish in his chest and a mess of discordant thoughts and memories in his head. From spending his days diligently studying in the college library, except when he was playing chess with friends, to memories of spending his days diligently training in the gym and his nights going to parties, always ending up accompanied by a beautiful woman... or man.

"Calm down little demon" Whispered Eric in the boy's ear, who finally relaxed his shoulders and smiled. “Dad is here and everything is going to be okay.” He concluded, enveloping the boy in a hug and giving him an affectionate and long kiss on the head.

Seeing the scene Ryan thought that was too much and got up with the intention of separating the two.

“Hey…” he started to say. But his head began to hurt intensely, with the objects spinning around him, and the last thing he saw before falling to the ground was Eric's smiling face, as he caressed Jacob's head leaning against the man's huge chest.

…..

It had been a strange morning for Ryan. He woke up lying on the couch in the living room, his head a little dizzy, and with a feeling of strangeness with the environment around him, as if the atmosphere was denser. When he looked at himself he realized that he was wearing pajamas, but he remembered changing clothes when he woke up, but if he was waking up now…. would that have been the day before? Still confused and with his head throbbing he walked slowly to the kitchen thinking about having a glass of water while he waited for this feeling of strangeness disappear.

Upon entering the room, Ryan got a big scare! Standing behind the table was a red haired giant, half naked, smiling in his direction.

“R-Red? What are you doing here."

“Hey Ry. I'm sorry, my thoughts were far away. I see you're awake, I thought I'd take you to bed, but even with those arms I don't know if I'd have the strength for that, big guy!"

“Big guy?” Those words echoed in Ryan's throbbing head. He had always been skinny, but with time and a workout routine he had acquired a more toned musculature, yet being called "Big Guy" made something resonate inside him... but someone like Red calling him big didn't make sense, as the fact that someone was sitting in Ryan's kitchen, helping himself to his coffee, and worst of all, practically naked.

"Red, what are you doing here, and almost naked?"

“Since when are you a prude, Ry? And as for what I'm doing here, I'm making breakfast for you and that devilish boy. Did you see the time he arrived? I imagine not, since you were sleeping on the couch…. You'd think college would knock some sense into our boy's head..."

“Our…boy?” Suddenly Ryan had a flash, a image of Eric approaching Jacob, whispering something in his ear, his smile looking at Ryan while hugging him...

“Jacob! Where is Jacob.” "What you do with him?” He asked with an accusing tone.

“Calm down Ryan, boys will be boys, regardless of age. But we can talk to him, parent to child if that's important to you” Eric answered with a soothing tone, apparently misunderstanding the reason for Ryan's indignation. Who in turn was staring at the giant in front of him with stupefaction.

“From parent to child?” What do you mean by…” Ryan began to say, being interrupted by the entry of an attractive muscular young man with vibrant red hair, totally naked, exposing his muscular body, with a large pole hanging between his legs, swinging from side to side as he trotted to the kitchen table.

“Morning, dad…” - said the young man passing by him while stretching, making his huge cock swing more willingly.

"Dad…? What… how… Jacob??? What happened??? What are you wearing?"

"Hum, nothing?." Answered the young man. Bursting with laughter along with Eric. While Ryan watched him, who was nothing like the thin boy he knew as well as the back of his hand.

“Hey, Devil, where's my hug? Eric asked, approaching the boy and hugging him, not caring that the young man's cock was exposed.

“Daaad…” replied the young man, with mocked irritation as he hugged the other man.

That scene made Ryan's brain shatter into a thousand pieces, to the point where he stood there watching without being able to form a single word, dumbfounded. With his head pounding harder, as the sense of unreality heightened.

“What the fuck is going on here”? Ryan yelled as he finally gathered his strength. Nothing there made sense.

“What kind of language is this, father?” said Jacob in an unconvincing imitation of a strict father.

“Your dad is looking like a prude old man today, Jake. Frankly, he doesn't even look like the man I chose to spend my life with and father my child with." Eric replied containing a laugh.

That was the last straw. Ryan cupped his face in both hands, sighing in frustration. With the throbbing in his head finally reaching its peak as he blacked out.

….

Ryan woke up lying on the couch in the living room, with his head a little dizzy, and with a feeling of strangeness with the environment around him, as if the atmosphere was denser. When he looked at himself he realized that he was wearing his robe and couldn't avoid a strong feeling that he had been through this same situation before. Confused and with his head throbbing, he closed his eyes in an attempt to think more clearly. And that's when he heard a familiar voice.

“Good morning, Big Man. Soon the coffee will be ready, it's time for you to open your eyes to reality!”

A feeling of anguish and fear dominated Ryan's chest, with a voice saying in the back of his mind that it would be best not to listen to anything that person had to say, to get up and leave without looking back. But a second voice silenced the first one, it didn't make any sense to leave the house where he lived, the house where his son lived, the house where his husband lived…. The first voice tried to fight these thoughts. Tried to say that they were misleading, that something very bad had already happened to his son and that the same could happen to him. “Nonsense, said the second voice, Jake was fine and healthier than ever, after all he was lifting as much weight at the gym as Ryan since he came home for the holidays, although neither of them comes close to Red in that regard. ”

"No, no, Jacob didn't lift any weights"

“Of course he would, with a father like Red, genetics and true dedication together are the best combination.”

"No, no, Eric was not Jacob's father, I’m Jacob's father"

"Of course he was Jake's father, they both were, and it didn't matter that the boy didn't have his blood, he was his son, period."

"But, but…

“No buts, his fatherhood was as real as his marriage was real and he would like to see who would have the courage to say otherwise in front of him. He might not be as big as Eric, but he was far from a wimp, years of exercise and a strict diet had given him a body to envy.”

As those thoughts played through the battleground that was Ryan's head, the truth within them was manifesting itself on the outside. With the robe he was wearing fading out of existence and revealing the muscular body they hid, while his luxurious hair shortened and lost its shine and a stubble beard appeared on his face. Eyes open but without seeing, at least not this changing reality, lost while the world changed.

“Yes, he would very much like to see who would challenge the infamous Big Man Ryan in a dispute, after all his fame preceded him, both in court, where he was a defender of gay rights, and outside of it, where he had already been involved in some fights while defending the same rights.”

“Big Man… gay rights… no… fights… no”

“Yes, this attitude started back in school, when Red confessed to him his sexuality and that he was in love with him. That was probably the happiest and most important moment of their lives, when Ryan, as passionate as his friend, responded with a kiss, and the couple's fate was sealed. And anyone who dared say anything about it would have to deal with him, although at the time he wasn't yet "Big Man Ryan", running away from a fight was never an option.”

“No…. Eric… no… Vanessa”

“Vanessa, that bitch! A single night of thoughtless drinking on Eric's part after a silly fight between the couple and the viper took the opportunity. Bitch! But that night was why Jake was born, and Ry wouldn't know what to do without his little red demon.”

“Jaco… no… dev…”

“It was that wretched Vanessa who put Ryan on the path of civil rights. The bitch, revolted when she was rejected by Red, who committed to assume and take care of the child she was expecting, but not to marry her or have to live with her more than necessary. So she decide to take revenge, telling everyone at school and town about Ryan and Eric's relationship. Which in turn resulted in the biggest beating Eric has ever taken in his life. Upon seeing the condition of his boyfriend, Ry made a promise, which he still faithfully kept to this day: he was going to defend the man of his life with everything he had.

“N…. Nh…”

“It was then, at the end of high school, that the idea of law came to mind. Along with the desire and dedication of physical exercise. Ryan spared no effort to achieve his goals, including using anabolic steroids, after all, not everyone has the genes of a red-haired giant like Eric. The results speak for themselves, Ryan has grown to massive size over the years, though in return he has lost all the hair he was so proud of in his youth.

“N…. no.. no… YEAS!!

Again the exterior manifested the interior modifications. In an instant in Ryan's place stood a huge man, with balding hair, a graying beard, and thick, developed musculature, a match in size for Eric himself.

"And it wasn't just in size that they were a match for each other" The only voice present in Ryan's much less agitated head whispered. And that voice was not wrong, both men had a libido proportional to their height and wingspan, being known to break several beds throughout their married life due to their insatiable and uninhibited sexual appetite.

Closing his eyes again, as his posture relaxed as he accepted reality Ryan felt the last words spoken by his husband echo in his head:

“It's about time you open your eyes to reality, open your eyes to reality, open your eyes… open your eyes!!!

And “Big Man” Ryan, fierce defender of civil rights, amateur bodybuilder, devoted father, loving and warm husband, voracious lover… finally opened his eyes, stretched, while getting up and finally flashed a smile to the love of his life.

“Liking what you see, Red, you old pervert?” He asked with a provocative voice.

“Just admiring the material, and congratulating myself on the investment.” Was the playful response Ryan received as he walked over to meet his husband, while throwing his boxer briefs on the floor leaving his big cock free to swing happily between his legs.

“I think the best investment was mine. I paid for a red hot giant and got a wonderful lover, plus an amazing son as a gift.” Ryan said as he approached Eric.

“By the way, speaking of amazing, have I told you how much I loved that you grew a beard? But I think I prefer your hair longer, there's only room for one big bald man in this house."

“I thought you missed that head full of hair” Eric replied very close to his husband's provocative face.

“What I miss is this mouth sucking my dick and this cock in my ass.” Ryan replied.

“What language is this?” Was Eric's last comment before giving himself to his husband with a passionate kiss. And fuck madly on the living room floor.

And it was with both naked, one next to the other, lying down and soaked in sweat and cum that the couple's son found them.

“You know, some people would be extremely embarrassed to find their parents acting so shamelessly.” A comment made by a smiling Jake, wearing only his underwear, when he saw his parents lying on the floor.

“And since when are we a bunch of Puritans, little devil?” Was the answer he received from a smiling Ryan, while getting up after giving his husband a last passionate kiss and passing by his son and giving him a kiss on the cheek, not caring that he was walking totally naked through the house.

"I'm just going to take a quick shower and get ready for work, you two wait for me before eating."

….

Eric “Red” Campbell was sitting at his desk, after a family breakfast, thinking about life's reminiscences, when he was surprised by a soft kiss on his neck. With a smile on his lips he turned and found the manly but smiling face of his man staring back at him.

“Ready to destroy some bastards, Big Ry?”

"Always! I wouldn't be the infamous Big Man Ryan if Don’t break some idiots, would I?" Ryan replied. “But you know what I'm ready for? Round two! Get ready Red, tonight it's my turn to fuck this big ass.

“And why wait until evening?��

“Don't tempt me, Mr. Campbell.” Was the answer of a smiling Ryan while walking to the door.

Eric turned to the window and watched, mug in hand, as the fine specimen of a man that was his husband trot with steady strides across the front yard toward his huge SUV. With a smile on his lips he thought about how happy he was with his marriage, his son, and the direction his life had taken.

(the description is shitty but I went through my drafts again and saw that this is finished...one of my favs but the first half part is boring...but the ending is kinda cute so...yeah. I'll be in senior high btw.)

• • • • •

Flesh and bone met each other as the sweet taste of iron filled Y/n’s mouth. She hugged her shudders as she lay her whole body on the cold floor, waiting for another pain to touch her in a few seconds. But there came none.

9:41. She closed her eyes as she listened closely to Sunghoon’s movements. She heard him walk away from her as the door creaked open and closed.

It’s been that way since they married three years ago. It’s been her job to ease his stress whenever Park Sunghoon’s been beaten up with his career, and still…all this time she said none. She’d gladly do his meal, do his laundry, clean all the things he had that should be clean, massage him whenever he needed it, sing him a lullaby if he could not sleep, tell him all sorts of lies to ease his worries, but all of those—best. it should suit his taste. It should be perfect. It should be something like him. It should be the best. Park Sunghoon does not need Y/n’s advice, doesn’t need her to complain, and doesn’t want her poor work; she must do all things to perfection. He just could not accept it if anything’s not to his taste if she complained—no. she should never. He does not need her voice to speak with any kind of authority and complaints; after all, he had never brought money to her table less than any job she’d had, paid her. But even requesting food or asking her what she wants for dinner is forbidden.

Y/n pulled herself up from the floor before her whole body turned cold from lying for too long. Lifting her heavy bruised head, the wall clock ticked for midnight. She had been lying for three hours without any kind of movements but her breathing. She looked around her, the whole house was neat, the floor could even pass as a bed, but the broken pitcher on the kitchen floor—she needed to clean it up before Sunghoon felt his thirst. So as fast as her beaten bruised body could do, she grabbed all the shards on the floor, hastily picking every piece of glass—she needed to hurry because probably in no time, he might wake up from the loud noise her chest was making…Y/n can see red. She needs to clean it up. But the glass. Clean the glasses first then clean the red on the floor, clean the red on her hands, clean her shaking hands, clean her wobbly feet, clean her shivering body. She could not breathe, she could barely see the shards she was picking. If only she could turn it all back and never loved him—never married him.

Y/n tapped her screen to turn off the alarm. 6:04. Pulling herself from the couch, she heaved a sigh. An hour from now, Sunghoon will be awake for work. Y/n wasted no more seconds and went to the kitchen, rinsed white rice then proceeded to turn on the rice cooker, broke an egg, cut a sausage in half, and threw it on the hot oiled pan. Y/n can barely feel the cuts on her palms, and can hardly complain about the throbbing of her body.

The sound of pouring water, and the burning of the wounds and bruises all around Y/n’s body made her wince in pain. If only the water were quiet whenever it hit the bathroom floor, and if only the pain in her back never made her make such a sound. She’s afraid he’ll wake up and hurt her again.

_______

She heard the shower open and the door slammed closed. 6:57. That fast? Pouring water into the kettle, she hastily put two scoops of tea into the teapot. 7:06. He should be putting on clothes now and should be done in a moment. Y/n put a plate on the table as neatly as possible, took a pair of chopsticks, and took Sunghoon’s favorite seasoning from the cabinet.

Sunghoon didn’t say a word as he pulled the chair and sat down soundlessly. Y/n put a half teaspoon of nutmeg into his rice, poured the boiling water into the teapot, and served her peaceful husband a cup of tea.

They stayed quiet as Y/n cut three carrots, while Sunghoon eat his meal. Y/n can still remember the night they first met, the jobs that made them so close, and the whole moment of their wedding. Now Y/n could only wait for him to leave so she could sleep at least just for an hour.

“Karin will be eating dinner with me.” Sunghoon will not be home until tomorrow afternoon. Y/n could sleep a day, or at least walk Gauel to the park later or tomorrow morning. But Sunghoon must not see her slacking off. He doesn't like it when she rest.

After Sunghoon put down his utensils and stood up, Y/n ran to fetch a coat for him and grabbed his things while she waited for him by the door. She held the coat wide for him to wear and gave him his things, held the door open until he stepped outside their apartment.

“Come back safely.” Sunghoon went on his way without answering—like usual—and Y/n locked the door once he was out of sight.

Park Sunghoon is a former idol and is currently big in the modeling industry. Eleven years ago when he started his modeling, after a year of being a minor model, he became a Vogue cover, went to different countries, endorsed, modeled, and walked through the runway with different luxury brands. In the years of his success, there he met Lee Y/n. Y/n was Sunghoon’s makeup artist for seven years, and she’s the sister of one of his friends Lee Heeseung. There were times and events when Y/n and Sunghoon interacted outside of work because of their connection with Lee Heeseung. Time passed. They fell in love and dated for four years.

_____

Sunghoon was the sweetest when they dated. Always checking on her, asking for what she thinks, and what she likes. He’d take care of her when she was unable to take care of herself. He’d act like a child just to get her attention. She always felt like the most significant person in the world. The most important person to him. She didn’t know what happened.

The feeling of knocking loudly on the hard tiled floor, and the feeling of feeling nothing at all—Park Sunghoon lifted himself from laying, then eventually felt warm hands on his shoulders and back, guiding him on the pillow to lean on his back, then he slap the hands away.

The last thing Sunghoon remembered was that he was feeling sick, then suddenly lost consciousness, unable to register what was happening around him, then eventually knocked himself down while on shoot.

“I was worried—”

“You did this, didn’t you?” Voice lashed with cold, he looked up at Y/n who met his eyes.

“Did what...?”

He couldn’t believe her. How could she act all innocent? Was she jealous of Karin that’s why she did this. Was she mad at him because of what happened last time with their date? Just what is wrong with her?

Y/n creased a confused face. She thought he liked it when she added a little nutmeg on his rice. What is it this time? Y/n truly is getting tired.

“Put nutmeg on my food every single meal.” His face was solid rock. His brows met each other while his jaw clench hard.

“You—you said you liked it when I add nutmeg into your rice?” She whispered as she held her hands tightly below her, preventing them from shaking.

“We’ll talk later at home.” Sunghoon managed to say on gritted teeth, while Y/n swallowed whatever she could swallow.

Was it her fault again? She didn’t know why he fainted, the doctor didn’t say anything to her, all she knew was that he fainted while on the shoot...but she wished he’d not hurt her, she wished he’d just forget whatever her sin was, she would gladly apologies to him—kneel and beg for forgiveness, ask for him not to give her another cut and bruise to fix and cover.

Sunghoon slowly pushed himself off the bed, and as he stood up, he couldn’t help but wince in pain, slowly, he put his hand on his temples. Y/n called out to him, helping him to sit down again.

“I’m sorry, Sunghoon—wha—whatever happened, I’m very sorry, I didn’t mean it. Please, if you could ever give me time to make it up—please forgive me—”

“SHUT UP!” Y/n didn’t cry because he slapped her hands away, it was his unforgiving voice that startled at her. She could feel her throat clench.

Slowly and gently, she tried to catch Sunghoon’s hands. He didn’t resist nor slap her hands away this time, but Y/n could feel his hard fist.

_____

“Let’s go home.” Y/n followed quietly.

Park Sunghoon once complimented Lee Y/n’s cooking when they were still mare acquaintances. It was a normal Monday at work and Y/n always packed her lunch, and unexpectedly, Park Sunghoon came up to her to eat lunch together. Sunghoon liked the rice…the rice had nutmeg at that time.

Earlier at 8:21 at work, Sunghoon felt weird sensations in the pit of his stomach, while his surroundings danced around him. It wasn’t the first time it happened at work, and it wasn’t the first time that it happened anywhere. There are times when he constantly feels nauseous while having severe headaches, while everything around him seems to change shapes. He thought it was his overworking.

The last thing Sunghoon heard was ringing and Karin’s soft voice called over him and then he passed out. He woke up lying in the hospital bed with a doctor hovering over him. The doctor said that his constant nausea and hallucinations were the effect of digesting too much nutmeg, and the only one making his meal was his wife. It was always ordered food whenever he and Karin had meals.

Back at home, Y/n and Sunghoon sat still on the couch. Y/n’s looking at her trembling hands as Sunghoon stare at her with gritted teeth. Y/n whispered out trying to break the silence.

“You—You once told me you liked rice with nutmeg—” A loud bang cut through her words. Sunghoon smashed the wooden table separating them, as Y/n tried to cover her mouth, swallowing her cries.

“Y/n.” Sunghoon called out. But Y/n couldn’t look him in the eyes, her line of view could only register his clenching fist on the table through tear eyed sight.

“I’ve been feeling sick—I thought I was dying!” He raised his voice, she made a whimper.

“I’ve been blaming my work! And it’s all because you! You were trying to kill me—you tried to kill me, Y/n!” finally she looked him in the eye shaking her head.

“No—no, Sunghoon that’s not—” Y/n extended her arms to hold him by the table as she lifted herself up from sitting, but he raised his hand high above her, then she lay still on the floor, staring at the tiled ground with tears swelling her eyes. She couldn’t help it anymore, the whole apartment echoed her loud cries. Then, in a second the bedroom door slammed closed, and she was left alone with her silent whimpers.

She didn’t mean it, she only wants his approval, his acknowledgement; she only wanted Sunghoon to eat with her at dinner instead of spending all his night with Karin. She only wanted him to return and be the man she loved once.

Y/n wasn’t ignorant about the effect of too much nutmeg, that’s why she only added a little every meal. But when Sunghoon started to eat dinner with Karin and come back home late, and sometimes not returning home at all—Y/n took the opportunity to add a half tea spoon of nutmeg into his every breakfast. A part of Y/n knew that she added nutmeg with ill intent. While most part wants him to acknowledge and notice her. Then, it really was her fault…

After lunch earlier, when her phone rang with an unknown caller ID and told her the news of her husband passing out, she immediately put down Gauel and rushed to the hospital. When she arrived, the doctor only told her that he already woke up last hour, and eventually returned back to sleep. Then the doctor said nothing more.

When Sunghoon woke up and told her about the nutmeg, she was shaken, she thought she could kill herself for being the one who caused danger to her husband—now, she could only swallow her cries when he lifted his fist and broke from her touch. He hit her face strong enough to send her frozen on the floor.

Whenever Sunghoon is angry, often at her, Y/n slept at the spare room while Sunghoon locked himself alone in their bedroom. The first time they had a fight, Sunghoon told her that he wanted to be alone and slept at the spare room. But to Y/n’s conscience, she begged Sunghoon to sleep at their room instead since it’s much comfortable there than sleeping on the dusted bed at the spare room. Now, whenever Sunghoon’s mad at her, Sunghoon would locked himself alone in their room, with her no way of getting inside. She often felt like he already abandoned her, but he also needed a slave to take care of him, that’s why until now Sunghoon haven’t chased her out.

Like the usual, Y/n would get up at 5-6 am to prepare his meal, then see him off at the door. But today, after arranging his breakfast at the table, Sunghoon spared her no glance and went out without telling her a word. He doesn’t want to eat. He doesn’t trust her.

So Y/n sat down and ate his meal instead. Seconds passed and her head’s already flooded with thoughts. Minutes passed and her thoughts made her burst out crying.

Why did everything turned out to be like this? Why did he turned out to be like this? Is he still Sunghoon? The one she loved? Or was this someone else? It must have been his façade. He must’ve tricked her, and she fell in love with the idea of him without actually knowing him. It was all her fault was it? Should she die and end everything with her last breath? Or should he die and free herself?

Y/n spent her all morning thinking of ways to get rid of her pains, until Gauel barked at her to snap out of it. She saw Park Sunghoon in red just then. She slapped herself for the ridicule she’s been thinking and proceeded to do her chores.

Late that evening, she baked tiramisu—Sunghoon’s favorite—and cooked galbi jjim with other various dishes, also opened a bottle of soju, and message him at 6:03, apologizing and wishing him home, telling him she cooked his favorite and she didn’t add nutmeg in any of the dishes nor the rice.

8:37. Y/n had already set up the table and the dishes, and somewhere between 8-9, Sunghoon will be home. So she patiently readied herself sitting on the chair, checked her phone if he had already replied, but unfortunately, he left her on read. Well, at least he read. He knows she’s making all the efforts to apologize. Y/n let out a sigh and wished that he’d show up.

11:21. All the dishes had already run cold. Y/n was broken from her trance when Gauel approached her and barked. Her phone rang. it was Sunghoon’s caller ID.

“Oh!” It was a girl’s giggle with mumblings over the background.

“Uhm, who is this?”

“Y/n!” Y/n recognized the voice, it was her old coworker’s voice, before she resigned and married Sunghoon. It was Karin’s. Y/n couldn’t help but swallowed the lumps forming on her throat.

“Su—Sunghoon won’t be home for a while…” Karin’s voice was sloppy and uneven. She must be drunk.

“Why? Did something happen?”

“What? Of course not! Silly Y/n—” She hiccupped. “Just wanted to tell you Sunghoon’s unavailable to see you for dinner tonight.” Low grunts from the background made Y/n’s shoulder shiver.

“Why are you telling me this, where is he?” Y/n’s voice must’ve been shacking, she could feel her throat and chest throbbing.

“Hmm? What is it?” seconds of pause and Karin laughed on the other line.

“Sunghoon’s asleep honey! Bye~”

“wait! Kari—” Karin’s voice was replaced with ringing. Y/n slowly put the phone down, stood up and entered their bedroom, leaving the dishes cold on the table. Sunghoon’s probably drunk with Karin, doing who knows what…Y/n couldn’t take it anymore.

Sunghoon didn’t mean to not return home after three whole days…he just wanted a time alone and free himself from stress; it’s just that, Y/n has been giving her head ache for these past few days, and he wanted to clear his head, though Karin has been with him throughout those past three days.

Sunghoon slowly turned the knob. The whole apartment is pitch black, while there was an unpleasant smell lingers the air. Sunghoon ran and turned the lights open. There, at the table lays bowls, plates, and cups of rotten dishes. Sunghoon registered the decaying smell of gochujang and the smell close to a dead rat. In instinct he put his arms on his mouth and nose. What the hell is this? Where is Y/n?

Sunghoon wasted no more time and burst the bedroom door open and turned on the lights. No sign of his wife. He then strode to the bathroom door, pushed the curtains away, and no one’s there. He checked the spare room, checked the roof deck, checked the longue again, shuffled through Y/n’s dresser and closet. Her stuff is still there.

Y/n must’ve left since the night she last messaged him about the meal she made…she was apologizing to him, and he was with Karin. He remembered there were a time that night when Karin borrowed his phone and called someone. Was it Y/n? Sunghoon roughly shuffled his hair, scratched his palms, massaged his temples. Karin must’ve said something to Y/n. As far as he could remember, Karin drove him to the hotel he stayed at, then stopped in the middle of the road to borrow his phone, then when he’s inside the hotel room, he locked the door and said goodbyes to Karin. That’s all that happened that night…

Sunghoon grabbed his coat, turned off the lights and went outside. He needs to find Y/n. He must’ve been hard on her. Just what the hell did Park Sunghoon do?

Sunghoon felt the cold wind brush through his hair once he went down the apartment stairs, and now he stands alone in the roads. With his messy and scattered thoughts, the muffled screams of vehicle horns, yells of the drivers ahead of him, and the sound of his far distance apologies—he ran his eyes around him, he didn’t care if he’s in the middle of the road, but he’ll find his wife. He needed to find his wife.

To no avail, Park Sunghoon never had any trace of her. Slowly, with no energy left from his body, he opened the door and slam it close behind him. Something lunged at him...then burning and chocking—he could not breath. Sunghoon held the belt around his throat. With all his strength, he tried to lift up the person behind him as his sight blur while his breathing shortens, and a loud weight hitting the floor made his lungs finally grasps for air. Park Sunghoon stared at his wife slowly lifting herself up from the floor. Is he seeing this right? Y/n—Y/n…she—Y/n. His Y/n was trying to kill him…

Sunghoon couldn’t move on his feet. His eyes are wide open, his breathings are accelerating and accelerating until a quiet shriek left his mouth. His whole body was frozen when his wife lifted her head up to look at him. Tears flooded her eyes as she slowly stands up. Her whole body was shaking, and her loud cries filled Sunghoon’s hearing. Y/n lunge at him, running, tackling him down on the floor, Sunghoon held her wrist as she pushed her whole strength into the knife she’s holding. Sunghoon called out her name, but her cries only got louder and louder until his grip on her loosen. One, two, three...six—she stabbed and stab and stab. Sunghoon stared at his lovely wife. Her hair loose on their tight bun, he badly wants to hug her on her pink blooded apron she always wore whenever she cooks him meal. Slowly and gently, Park Sunghoon touched her wet cheeks. Little by little, her skin turned red as he kept on caressing her softly. Y/n screamed her pain and Sunghoon could only smile at her, because now he understands, he wasn’t able to be a good husband for her.

“I’m sorry,”

With the last of his strength, and the last burning of his breath, he held her hands tightly, and closed his eyes. Y/n lifted an axe.

The first time Park Sunghoon saw her was at Lee Heeseung’s 20th birthday, back in the times they were newly debut. She wore a ridiculous ankle pink boots and a twin messy braid. He remembered Heeseung and her argued about Heeseung not informing her that his friends will come, she should’ve wore something decent. But Park Sunghoon loved that outfit. That’s the outfit he always loved.

The taste of sweet, salty and savory erected at Y/n’s tongue. The sensation of chewy and juicy flooded her mouth, and when she swallowed, a great feeling of longing, sorrow and grief left her body weak. The body-less of Park Sunghoon’s head stare at Park Y/n as she opened her mouth, bringing a spoon full of his love for her to digest.

It was snowing hard outside when they first met at work. Y/n was newly hired as Sunghoon’s makeup artist. She remembered his soft smile that burned her cheeks, she remembered when Sunghoon first asked her out, she remembered when he first kissed her, she remembered his heat all over her—not like this, cold and still.

Peter Parker x Reader

angst, maybe fluff?

Word Count: 1k

Inspired by the song July by Noah Cyrus

~~~~~~~~

I've been holding my breath, I've been counting to ten, over something you said

“So uh, what do ya say? Wanna give it a shot?” Please say yes please say yes please say yes-

“I’m sorry, I really am, but I’m gonna have to say no.”

No. He said no.

It took you months to work up the courage to finally tell him how you felt, ironically you told yourself the worst he could say was no. Fuck, it hurt.

You were crushed. “Oh uh, that's okay. We can just stay friends.” It’s not okay, you don’t want to be friends. Well, you do. You also wanted-no, hoped- for something more.

He smiled, god you loved that smile. It never failed to make your heart skip a beat, even breaking it at the same time.  “Glad this won’t change our friendship. I care about you a lot.” He says, you can hear the pity in his voice.

He cared, just not in the way you wanted.

I've been holding back tears, while you're throwing back beers, I'm alone in bed

You were always told rejection hurt but you didn’t think it’d be this painful. Peter went out while you were sulking in your bed. There’s more fish in the sea, right? You shouldn’t have fallen for him, everyone told you not to, and yet here you are.

How could you be so stupid?

Of course he didn’t like you.

You were nothing compared to her.

You didn't have the perfect teeth, the perfect hair, the perfect skin, the perfect...anything. You were just you.

You stupidly thought that it would be enough for him, she didn't even remember him, but you made new memories with him.

You know I, I'm afraid of change. Guess that's why we stay the same

You two were fighting now. It's your fault anyways. You lashed out on him just because he hadn’t reached out to you since that day. He's ignored your texts, calls, hell you even tried an email for the fun of it. He stilled ignored you.

The day you confessed really fucked things up.

You decided to be the bigger person and show up at his door. He would've known you were going over if he read your messages.

“I thought we agreed that wouldn’t change us. You said you wanted to be friends so why are you being such a dick?”

 “I’m being a dick? Oh, that’s real funny coming from you. I have a life full of other people, not just you. I don’t see why I have to be the one to do everything.”

You bit your lip and looked at the ground, embarrassed that you were acting childish, “No, you’re right. I’m sorry.”

So, tell me to leave, I'll pack my bags, get on the road

Peter let out a frustrated sigh and ran a hand through his hair, the soft hair you used to play with during the times you'd study together. “I think you should go. I can’t handle this—you—right now.”

You refused to cry in front of him. “Yeah, okay.” You grabbed your bag and slammed the door shut on your way out. You fucked everything up, didn’t you?

Find someone that loves you better than I do, darling, I know

A week went by, and he finally texted you, asking you to go over and talk it out. In the end you were still his best friend, and he didn't want to lose you.

You picked up a photo that was in a beautiful golden frame on the coffee table, you knew who the woman was, Peter talked about her all the time, and it killed you. You thought he was over her.

 “What are you doing with that?” He grabbed the framed photo from your hands as if it were the most precious thing in the world.

You blinked back the tears that were threatening to come out, “It was just sitting here, she’s pretty. Really pretty.”

Peter smiled, “Yeah, she was. The greatest too.”

‘Cause you remind me everyday, I’m not enough but I still stay

You two sat in uncomfortable silence. He wanted to make up, wanted things to be normal again, but you had other plans. You wanted answers. “What does she have that I don’t? What’s so different?”

He groaned. “Please, don’t start this right now.”

You stood up from the couch, “No! I want to know why you’re after someone who moved on. Someone who doesn't even rem-“

“She was the only one there for me through all of it! She helped me from beginning to end! I ruined everything just to make sure she got into the school she worked so hard for!" His voice went soft, he couldn't hold back the tears that went streaming down his face. His brown eyes were hardly visible through them, "She was all I had. She was the only girl that ever looked my way and actually liked me.”

Then what am I?

I've done a lot of things wrong, Loving you being one. But I can't move on

“What?”

“Then what am I?”, you repeated deep down you knew you were being a little selfish, but he had no right to say you didn't care, “I’ve been there for you. I’ve laughed with you, cried with you, I even fought with you and you’re still tossing me aside?”

“Listen-“

“No! You listen to me! I’ve done nothing but love and care about you but clearly that’s not enough! Nothing is ever enough for you! I-I’m not enough.”

Peter stood to hug you. To tell you that you was more than enough. To tell you he was just afraid of being more than what you were now.

If you want me to leave, then tell me to leave, and baby, I'll go

You moved away from his attempted hug. How dare he cry when it was him who was hurting you? “N-No, you don’t get-get to cry.” you choked out through your own tears.

“I’m sorry please just understand.” He begged.

“Tell me to leave. Tell me you don't want to see me again and I’ll stop. I’ll leave you alone just like you want.” That’s not what he wanted, not at all. He wouldn't know what to do with himself if you left him too.

“That’s not-I want you to stay.”

You remind me every day, I'm not enough, but I still stay

“Okay. I’ll stay.”

A Day Full Of Emotions (Also the first time Jay sees Becca dance) || Jay Halstead x Healstead Sister || Healstead Sister one shot

*re-posting this because I'm stupid and accidentaly delated my blog 🫠

Summary: There is a big art festival happening in Chicago and Becca will dance a solo for the first time in front of people. Jay has to work as a cop and can't be with her all the time as he wished. A bomb explodes in the event and everything becomes a mess. Bomb references to Season 5, episode 2.

Becca is Halstead sister. Remember she's a theatre girl. I might write something short about Hailey and Kim trying to do Becca's hair, because that's cute.

The song Becca is dancing is In- A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly, but only the part of the drums. Minute 6:29, for a better reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCkHanF4v1w

It was finally Saturday and the weather was perfect to be outside. It seemed like luck was on Becca's side, but she wasn't feeling very happy. In fact, she was feeling sick, nauseated. She laid on bed staring at the ceiling, until someone knocked at the door.

-"Morning, kiddo!" It was Jay. -"I'm sorry to wake you, but it's getting late and I need to get ready to work, so...".

Becca used to sleep in Jay's room whenever she stayed at his place. He always preferred to sleep in the couch, so she could be confortable in a proper bed.

-"Oh, yes. I'm sorry. It didn't crossed my mind". She said while standing up.

-"Don't worry. I'll just grab some clothes and get dressed in the bathroom. You can get ready in here...in fact, why are you still in bed? I have to drop you at your teacher's house on my way to the bullpen".

-"Yeah, about that...". Becca said scratching her eye. -"I don't think I'm going...".

-"What do you mean you are not going?" Jay didn't even let her finish the sentence. -"You've waiting for this day to come".

-"I'm not feeling so good. I have a stomachache and it feels like I'll throw up".

Jay instinctively touched her forehead to feel if she was irritated or had temperature, but everything felt normal. He immediatly knew what was goinng on.

There was a big art carnival happening in Chicago that day and Becca was going to participate in a dance group that would be moving around the park performing in different spots Mobile Dance, they called it. Her teacher gave her a solo and she was ready to do it, but it would be her very first time performing in front of an audience and the idea suddenly freaked her out.

-"You're good. You are just nervous". Jay said smiling.

About an hour later, Jay was helping Becca to put her backpacks inside of the truck, getting ready to leave. She was unusually quiet, but he didn't want to force any conversation.

-"Is Will coming?" Becca asked in the co-pilot seat.

-"I don't think so". Jay sighed. -"He has a shift at the hospital". Jay lied to Becca, not knowing if that last statement was true. He was mad at his brother for always puting their sister aside. He was also tired of lying for him, but he did it to protect Becca's feelings.

There was no reaction from Becca. The silence among them took over again.

-"I'm so sorry I can't go with you through all the stations. Since it is a huge event for the city, Platt asked us to be there patrolling. There's never enough cops for these things".

-"For the millionth time, Jay: don't worry, It's ok. I understand for real".

-"It's just that I don't feel confortable changing plans with you like this". -He continued with guilt.

-"Well, it's not like you won't see me, anyway...".

-"No. I'll be there in the third stop you make, that's the part of the park I'll patrol. I have my event map with the exact place and hour. I'll be in the spot a few minutes after you arrive to make sure to be in the front when people start to gather around".

-"And you won't get in trouble for that?"

-"I asked Platt, she agreed...in fact, she got a bit excited, don't be surprised if you find her among the crowd too". That made Becca blush in embarrassment. She hadn't tought there would be so many known people around. -"I'll be in my uniform, just rememeber that if you look for me".

That made Becca giggle, she always thought her brother looked funny on his police uniform.

-"All right, Bec. We're here". -Jay said while parking the truck. -"Is there any other of your friends coming here before the show?". He tried to ask casually. He didn't like the idea of leaving his little sister alone with someone he barely knew, even though it was her teacher. Anyway, he didn't have any other option, he had to go to work.

Above all, he didn't have the hability to do her artistic make up, nor to comb her hair as it was instructed: to braids up, one on each side. They should stick back to the head forming a circle. The idea was that they looked like horns. He tried, but failed miserably. Kim and Hailey wanted to help and gave it a try but ended up cursing whoever had the idea of that hair style. That's when Becca talked to her teacher and she proposed Jay to take care of her. She knew about Becca's family situation and was genuinely glad to help that little joyful kid.

-"No". Becca answered her brother's question. -"They all are going with their moms". That last piece of information was unnecesary, but she couldn't help it. She had certain grudge inside her chest, though she probably wasn't aware of it. Jay knew better and remained silent, thoughtful.

-"Hey! I will be there!". There was no more he could say.

-"I know". She smiled. That made Becca get out of her own mind.

The carnival was already full of people when Becca and her teacher arrived. They gathered with the dance group a few minutes before it was time to start. She looked around and found Kim among the cops, they waved hello when their eyes met. Burgess immediatly send a text to Jay: I just saw her, everything's ok. She looks fine . As the overprotective brother he was, Jay had his own security plan and the team was helping him to keep on eye on his sister.

As the hour drew near, Jay started to feel a mixure of excitement and nervousness. Involuntarily, he started to approach the place his sister would dance.

-"Isn't a little bit early?" Hailey asked following him.

-"Yeah. I don't know, I guess I don't want to miss it".

-"And you need to make sure she sees you". She guessed.

-"She needs to know someone is here with her, for her".

-"Well, she has a whole elite squad looking after her around the park and waiting to see her perform. She's not precisely alone...but I know what you mean. You are a good brother, she's very lucky to have you".

Jay just stared at Hailey, not knowing how to react or what to say, since he wasn't good dealing with these kind of feelings. The distant voice of a woman caught their attention before the moment became unconfortable. It came from a microphone afar: "...Come, everyone. Follow us to the mobile dance...". She was carrying a speaker.

-"It's them". Jay said looking at the horizon, searching for his sister among the heads of the group that was approaching them. He was nervous and couldn't hide it.

"...We are a dance group created by several institutions, dedicated to spread this art to every corner..."

-"There!" Hailey said pointing at Becca when she found her. -"So that's how the hair was supposed to look, uh". She laughed.

Becca was wearing a black leotard and black tights, nothing more. Her ballerina shoes were color red. She looked relaxed, but Jay didn't buy it, he knew how good she was to hide her feelings and emotions.

A lot of people began to gather while the woman with the microphone invited them to the show. Becca was moving her head from one place to another, eyes wide opened: "He said he would be here!", she said to her teacher. And he was right in front of her, on the other side of the circle that was now formed around the pallet where the dancers would perform. When their eyes met she greeted him effusively.

There was a ballet performance first, something classic with four teen ballerinas; then there was a tap number, a cheerful piece. All of the girls were presented as part of Becca's school, but Jay wasn't really paying attention to any of them, he just applauded by inertia at the end of each song. His anxiety for Becca grew after each number and Hailey noticed, thinking that was a cute gesture coming from a man like him.

-"Now..." -The woman on the microphone spoke. It was time for the third number. -"...presenting a choreography by Martha Bennett...".

-"That's Becca's teacher". Jay tensed up, touching Hailey's shoulder.

-"...Becca Halstead".

Jay's applause was considerably louder than everyone else's while the girl got into position. The music started to play, it was a psychedelic mix with drumbs. She was moving with very precise and abrupt movements, very mesmerizing.

-"Wow!" Hailey expressed. -"I've never seen her like this. She's usually so tiny, cute and shy".

-"I didn't...knew she could do this". Jay answered without taking his eyes off his sister. Many feelings began to form inside of him.

-"She's a whole different person".

When she finished, the public applauded in a normal way. It was Jay and Hailey who did it most effusively, even shouting with excitement. Becca turned to them a little bit embarrased and gave them a forced smile.

"Thank you for staying with us, this is Mobile Dance..." They announced through the microphone when all of the numbers were over. "...Please tag us if you post our dances online...".

As soon as she could, Becca ran to her brother's arms and he hugged her tight, lifting her a little bit.

-"You killed it!" Hailey said to the little girl.

-"Thanks...I actually messed up in like a lot of parts...".

-"Don't be so hard on you! You did great!" Her teacher yelled from a few steps far.

-"I think you were perfect. I'm actually very...impressed". Jay said with pride.

-"You are?"

-"I'm really proud of you". Becca smiled with teary eyes at her brother's statement.

-"Hey! Why don't we take a picture of you two?" Hailey proposed with her cellphone in hand. -"Seems like a day to remember".

Jay and Becca posed to the camera, both showing a bright smile.

-"You should take one with us too". Becca invited her brother's partner.

-"Uh--". She hesitated looking at Jay, who nodded in agreement. -"Sure".

-"There you go!". The lady who helped them take the photo said. -"Sush a beautiful family".

-"I-- should go back to our spot". Hailey said before running away.

At the same time, the dance group was ready to move to the next station. Becca's teacher called her to go.

-"I'll see you later, ok? I'll take you to dinner, whatever you want". He said as Becca was walking to her group. Jay's heart started to beat very fast as he saw his sister depart. -"Be careful, all right?".

The girl just answered with a thumb up. One of the moms in the group noticed the scene and addressed Jay: "Don't worry, Detective. She's not alone. We are taking good care of her!"

At the other side of the festival, Burgess, Atwater and Ruzek were walking the place.

-"So where am I getting these pastries for the boss?" Kim asked with a laugh.

-"Uh, Voight likes Ferrara's". Kevin answered. -"I personally think that Scafuri's better".

-"Is that what you think?"

-"Of course".

-"Ferrara's it is". She concluded.

-"Ferrara's it is". Adam repeated.

Kevin got apart from the group for a few seconds and noticed something strange: a van parking in a closed alley. His instincts told him that something was wrong.

-"Hey, we got a dark van with no plates, 5 o'clock". He said in the radio.

-"All right". Adam answered the call. -"That alley was supposed to be closed to traffic".

Two man got out of the van and started o walk way fom the place.

-"Hey, yo, genteman!" Kevin yelled trying to stop them, but they started to run. The officer ran after them.

-"Kim, you seeing this?" Adam asked.

-"Go! Go!" She said as they reached the van. There was smoke coming from the inside, as soon as they looked out they knew it was a bomb.

-"Son of a bitch! Clear this area and go". Adam ordered. -"I got Kev!".

-"50-21 Eddie. 10-1, 10-1. Roll us a bomb squad. We've a van with a possible explosive device.

Jay and Hailey listened to the call on their radios as an explosion sounded in the distance, alarming averyone around.

-"Shit!". Jay said. -"Let's clear the area".

-"Move! Move! Everybody get out!". Hailey started yelling.

-"Sergeant?" Jay talked to his radio as he was moving people with his free arm. -"My sister was heading to the North part of the park, do you have eyes on her? I need to know if she's ok".

-"Negative" -Platt answered. There was a lot of noise in her background. -"Don't worry, Halstead, I will find her".

As soon as she ended the conversation, she started to look around for the girl, but everything was a mess. People was running around in all directions, it was hard to see their faces. At that point, most of the 21st knew who Becca was, so it was easy for Platt to order some of the cops to be aware in case she crossed their ways.

Minutes later, one of them called on the radio "Sergeant, we found the girl". The crowd had already thinned, as most of the civilians had been evacuated, so it was easy for Platt to find them.

-"Thank God!" She exclaimed when she saw the little Halstead sitting under a tree.

-"We found her on the floor. She's a bit hurt, but nothing to worry about. She must have fallen while running, some people stepped on her". The cop informed. -"She wasn't alone, she was with her teacher. It was hard to convince the lady to go".

-"All right". Platt sighed. -"I'll take care of this now. Thank you, guys!"

-"Becca, it's Trudy. Do you remember me? Your brother sent me to find you. Are you feeling all right? I heard you were a bit hurt".

-"I feel a little bit dizzy, but I'm ok".

-"I think we should go to the hospital to check you, just to make sure everything is really ok".

-"No, I---Where's Jay?"

-Your brother is working right now. They got a heavy case and he needs to be there with the team. He's very worried about you, and I promised him I would find you and take care of you. So, would you let me take you to The Med? I will be right to your side all the time, I promise".

The next thing Becca knew was that she woke up in a different place. She was lying down in a sofa, facing the wall. As her eyes began to slowly open, she heard a distant conversation: "The doctor was worried for the hits in the head, but she said there is no damage, appart from some bruises and scratches she's completely fine. She asked me to call your father to know if he was home, and also to let him know she was fine. She didn't want him to pick her up, tough. She waited for you."

She turned around when she heard a door open and some foot steps approaching. Thet's when she noticed she wasn't wearing her dance clothes anymore. Instead, she was wearing a gray sweater with the CPD logo printed on the front. That's when she realized she was in the bullpen, the coffee room to be precisely, it looked so different at night with the lights off.

-"Hey there, sleepy beauty". Jay said crouching down to her level. -"I was told you were waiting for me. Sorry for the delay".

-"What time is it?" Becca asked standing up.

-"Hey, hey, hey, slow down. You hit your head, you gotta take it easy. How are you feeling?".

-"I'm fine, I'm just sleepy and tired. Sergent Platt took me to the hospital, The Med. Guess what: Will wasn't there". She said simply, while stretching her arms. Jay stared at his sister with sorrow.

-"Come on. I'll take you home, you need to rest properly". He stood up, but the girl didn't follow him. She just stared at the floor, immersed in her toughts.

-"Bec...".

-"Yeah, sure. I'm coming".

It was strange for Becca to see the building that empty. There was not a soul in the reception, except for Trudy, who was already leaving, and Hailey who was waiting for Jay to give her a ride.

-"Look at you, girl. Rocking the CPD sweater". Hailey said hugging her with one arm as they walked to the exit.

-"Can I keep it?"

-"Of course you can, sweetheart. It suits you well". Platt said with a smile.

-"I can't thank you enough for today, Trudy. Really, thanks for taking care of her".

-"Don't worry. It was my pleassure, Jay".

Jay was at the wheel driving unusually slow, Hailey was his co-pilot. Becca was in the back seat, her head agains the window. The road was dead silent. It could be because it was late and everyone was tired, but Jay knew her sister was holding something, that she wanted to say it but didn't know how to.

-"It was a day full of emotions, uh?" Hailey threw the question into the air. She was also feeling the tension between the siblings.

-"Yes it was". Becca answered with a dry tone.

Hailey turned to look at Jay, as he looked at his sister through the mirror.

-"Ok, Bec. Talk to me, what's on your mind?" He asked tenderly, not caring about his partener's presence.

-"He was there, Jay". Becca spit it out.

-"Who?" He was very intrigued.

-"Dad". She answered after a few seconds of silence.

-"Where?"

-"In the park. Dad was in the festival. He saw me dancing, Jay". Becca frowned. She had to wipe away a few tears before they rolled down her cheeks. She didn't want them to see her cry about it.

Without noticing, Jay started to drive even slower, his mind going in circles. Hailey passed her hand to the back part of the truck to touch Becca's knee in a reassuring gesture.

-"Here we are". Jay sighed as he parked the truck in the usual spot, away from the house. -"Hey, today's plans were ruined, but we can have luch tomorrow". He turned to his sister. -"You choose what you want. We can also have a movie day if you wan to".

-"I like that". She smiled. -"Can I stay with you tomorrow?".

-"Sure. Just make sure you grab your uniform. For now, let's go, you shouldn't be out of bed. I'll walk you to the porch". When he got out of the car, he turned to the co-pilot seat: "Sorry for the waiting. It won't take long, Hails".

They were in the middle of the street when the door of the house suddenly opened. Both of the siblings freezed, their dad was there, standing in the door frame. Jay felt a heat inside of him that didn't let him move, he only reacted when Becca touched his hand.

-"It's ok. I can carry my bags". She said as she took them carefully from her brother. -"You don't have to say or explain anything. I know".

Becca hugged her brother goodbye: "See you tomorrow. Don't forget!". And she walked to the entrance, nervously.

Unwittingly, Jay was giving small steps back, until he made sure that the little girl crossed the fence and he turned back straight to the truck. Hailey saw everything, and even when she was not so sure of what was going on, she felt sympathy with his partner.

The two detectives stared to the front, watching how Becca was received by her dad. She stopped in front of him, they were having a small conversation. Jay was in a defensive position, ready to act if he needed to. Unexpectedly, they witnessed how Mr. Halstead hugged his daughter for a fragment of sencond. From the distance, Jay could tell Becca was crying. He was also submerged in a sea of ​​feelings.

-"A day full of emotions indeed, wasn't it?" Hailey broke the silence when the door of the house closed. She had a very strong impulse of hugging him, as if she knew he needed that kind of containment.

-"Yes is was". Jay answered swallowing his tears.

-"Want a beer and talk/not talk about it?" She offered.

-"Yeah. That would be helpful".

Day 1 (September 23) - Family/Childhood

The day was blissfully calm and perfect for a nice sweet calm fall season.

The dorm of Heartslabyul was calm after a long long week of crazy class and club schedules, enjoying the smooth transition of hard student life to a relaxing hang out in the dorm’s lounge as Trey brought over more snacks and tea to study. 

The green haired gent looked up as the dorm’s head, Riddle Rosehearts, walked into the lounge with some papers of the dorm schedule and smiles. Even after being in Night Raven for a few years he always maps out every little thing that is needed to keep his dorm in order.

“Hmm? Nah, I’ve been in love before.”

Riddle and his vice dorm head look to their left at the large couch in the lounge and stare at one of their freshmen, a red haired boy with crazed taste for many insane adventures and rebellion against the morals and rules of Heartslabyul and Night Raven Collage itself named Ace Trappola, a lovely thorn in their Queen’s side.

Ace sits lazily in the couch’s center being surrounded by his fellow mates of Heartslabyul, hands busy with cards shuffling back and forth with a grin and healthy glow of flush that barely covers his soft freckles.

One of the other freshmans laughed, “Oh yeah, that girlfriend you mentioned from your Junior days.”

Ace laughs some in return, a hand reaching up and rubbing his neck’s back, “Well, no, actually. With her we weren’t that long into serious town. Nah, I mean someone else.”

Riddle bit back a sigh as he rolled his eyes, annoyed the calm afternoon was done thanks to Ace wanting to brag about his love life as self-centered as he always is. He turned his back away and looked at the schedule again, ready to interrupt this “lovely tale” with his words as another student pipes up, “Eh?? You have a list of hearts Trappola?”

“Huh? No dumb-dumb! I’m certain at the time she was my soul mate. My… first love.”

The words stopped Riddle from stopping the words that flow out the ginger’s mouth like running water.

“It was a few days before my 9th birthday, my mum just picked me up from my sports club activities and took me and my big brother to town so she can do some shoppin’. I was wondering about when I saw her.”

Ace smiles as the faint glow of nostalgic glee fills his red eyes, “She had this red ribbon in her hair and these big beautiful blue eyes, like the ocean was in her eyes instead of color. And man was her smile just so damn cute~”

Everyone looked at Ace, smiling at the surprisingly wholesome expression on his face as he talked about this mystery girl.

“Well don’t hold us out Ace-Chan, what’s her name~?” Pestered Cater with a happy grin, his hands and face features proving he’s just melting over how cute this is becoming than how it may have started if the wild card said something else with love.

Ace shrugged, “I don’t know.”

. . .

“HUH!?”

“How do you not know? Did you never ask?!” Called out Deuce, peacock eyes widen like the tea cups on the table that stare at Ace who rubbed his ear from the outburst near him.

“I tried to get her name but I was too late okay?!” After he sighs, Ace went on, “I saw her again the next day and I entered this tea cafe my family loved to go to, Mad Hat’s Tea House, they had this little book nook area where you rent stories and whatevers. And there she was, sitting at one of the tables reading a book on Magic Tricks. So I went up to her and we chatted for a bit. But then after I told her my name and she was just about to tell me her’s… Her mum called for her. And I never saw that girl again…”

Riddle’s eyes soften at the clear ache in Ace’s words when telling the tragedy of meeting, to whom he assumed, his “soul mate” only to never meet her again. Isn’t that ironic..? He thought to himself.

His blue-gray eyes soon caught Ace’s very name on the schedule for hedgehog feedings and pushed his tinted lips out in thought. 

“What about you, Dorm Head? Ever been in love~?”

Ace’s familiar teasing tone brought Riddle back to the world of reality as he held back a sign of “Oh dammit to Hell, here we go again” in his throat.

Black gloves gripping the paper slightly harsher before he spoke, mentally weighing the idea of amusing the very thought until the decision was made, “For your information, yes, I have. But that was just some puppy love of youth.”

The dorm erupted in questions when hearing such news from their house prefect, the very idea of him admitting to a childhood love is a shock after all!

“Come on, come on don’t tease us with a taste Riddle-San! Tell us more~ More~!” Whined Cater which honestly with the utter display of his spring green puppy dog eyes and quivering peachy pink pouty lips was amusing for the red head to see.

Bringing his hands up, Riddle waved in small back and forth as he suppressed the small smile of amusement as his voice croaked in words, “Okay okay, just calm down first.”

He almost snorted seeing everyone sit down fast like it’s Circle Story Time for a bunch of children.

The dorm leader brought a knuckle up and cleared his throat before he perked up, “I was 10 and at the time I was, well, on a tight leash if I shall be honest. My mother was in serious need of grocery shopping for our usual things and so she took me along. We arrived at a tea cafe to gather some of the special tea leaves my mother loved, and she allowed me to wander a bit. Then…”

With a flutter of an eye he saw a semi sweet tooth gap of a grin of a sweet face of the girl who, though he’ll never dare admit, sticks within his day dreams of hopes to see her again.

Guess it is ironic huh?

“Then… she came into my view. She stood there, telling me about these… ponies she adores near the farmer’s market and was shocked to hear I haven’t seen one at this time of my life…”

As everyone listened, Ace shifted in his seat, a question of an eyebrow on his face as the sentence circles around his head like a forgotten and broken halo. Ponies He thought, How strange-

“Sadly however I had to leave sooner than I would’ve hoped. But that single conversation got me a little… giddy I guess you can say. Her kind smile showed no bounds of my memories even. So yes, I have been in love before.” Riddle finished his story, looking at everyone’s face of awe and “Awww my Seven that’s so cute” mostly from Cater and Trey who were just staring at their friend in pure wholesome heart melts.

“Th-That’s so sad, Riddle-San… Are you okay??” Asked Cater as he tried to wrap his arms in a hug, catching out a whine of a half sob when he gets rejected of said hug thanks to Riddle’s quick step to the right. 

Trey spoke up, patting Cater’s back as he does, a soft warm smile on his lips, “I never knew that. Honestly, I’m surprised.” Riddle smiles some and nods, “Yes,” Said he, “I was surprised as well. It didn’t really take me until a year to actually realize I had these feelings and put them into words properly.”

“P…Ponies…”

Riddle turned to his rouge rebellious card soldier with a quirked eyebrow. “Yes?” He asked, confused but ready to shout if he needed to with a single wrong word of Ace.

Ace rubbed his neck with a laugh, “So your first love got you into horses huh?”

Riddle paused but smiled, even laughing a bit in return, “Ahaha, yes. I guess she did influence me in a way. And your first love seemed to have sparked some magic in you too?”

“Yep! After that day, I begged my grandpa and pops to show me some tricks so I can impress her one day. How weird though, we both met our first loves at a tea house cafe-”

“Eh? Oh, yes, a very funny coincidence…”

“Yeah, funny indeed…”

The two stare at each other in some silence, almost trying to read each other’s thoughts through eyes and stance.

Then, Ace snorted.

“Hey hey, if either of us meet her again, I call dibs on the first move!”

Riddle’s face flared up in frustration. “What? She isn’t some property we bet and call dibs on! And besides that, why would you make the first move??”

Ace laughs again, “You’re kidding right? I learned magic for her. The least I can do is wow her with it!”

As the two bicker, which as many expected ended with Ace getting collared for his tongue and Riddle marching off in a humph, the rest of the dorm replay the stories from today in their heads.

All the while, a vice dorm head and his buddy soon look at each other and give each other a knowing yet soft smirk on their lips.

Isn’t that ironic?

This fic is heavily inspired by these two songs

First fic for the @ridoaceweek

If you haven't picked it up, Ace and Riddle are both FtM Transgenders and only know of there past selves of their actual soulmates. I personally would see Cater and Trey and Chenya knowing Riddle's trans while Ace is more secretive cause he's stubborn as shit

Also, I always headcanoned Riddle chose to have red hair but wasn't actually born with it, a little nod to the Queen of Heart's black hair in the film.

I also kind of tried to imply but guess I didn't do a good job of it that after the incident where Riddle's mum found Riddle with Trey instead of studying she forbad him from doing what he loves as a punishment, this sadly resulted in taking all of Riddle's pants and making him dress in dresses and forced him to grow his hair out and be more "girlish" again as punishment for not studying

While Ace just didn't know he was trans yet

[thehomebodydiaries]

i’m exhausted. i feel like i haven’t really had any alone time for like a month, but i’ve also been having increasingly disturbing thoughts when i am left to ponder alone. and people wonder why i need to be stoned all the time.

retail therapy is scary, though. i’ve recently recalled how much i love to read (escapism is a hell of a mistress), so i’ve spent way more money than i should’ve this past week. quite a stress point, tbh, but i’m justifying it because i was out celebrating my third year anniversary with my boyfriend. we happened to celebrate on free comic book day, so we went to acme comics and i was expecting, like, two free comics. but when we walked through the door, there was a girl to the right with a table holding stacks of plastic bags all filled with like sixteen comics, and she just held out a bag and said, “free comic books?” to which i responded, “yes please!” and then i proceeded to spend $80 on more comics, one of which is old man logan. for those of you who don’t know, it’s a comic that was actually intended to be a standalone, but there have since been additions, and this is the comic that inspired the movie logan. it depicts wolverine as an old man with his healing capabilities slowing down tremendously; the world’s supervillains have banded together like the heroes do, but because there are more villains than heroes, they’ve killed the vast majority of heroes: captain america, iron man, thor, daredevil… it’s a really depressing comic book, honestly, but it’s amazing all the same.

this is random and irrelevant but my favorite fnaf character has changed from fun time foxy to puppet - i adore her and want a life sized version of her to put on my couch. she reminds me of a d&d character that i created in my homebrew world; his name is face and he’s a sentient wooden puppet that’s like five feet tall and has no facial features so he wears a mask and speaks telepathically to people, but is entirely silent until he trusts someone enough to know his secret.

i also got a cute new cup and an all black sanrio cinnabon stuffie that looks perfect on my bed, plus several books that i should not have bought because they’re expensive. i’ve been writing a lot this week too! my ability to get everything i write at work is hindered though because i can’t access certain things from home or my phone because my phone is way too old and won’t updated to the necessary versions to download certain apps. so i’m trying to brainstorm while i’m at work and actually write while i’m at home… but with two or three hours in between breaks, i have a lot of ideas, and remembering all of them is difficult. i might have to convince my boss to send them to me somehow… although i have to admit i’d be a little shy about him potentially reading it. i don’t think he’s much of a reader, and i think he’s kind enough to not read it if i asked him not to. idk, we’ll see.

holy shit palworld is way harder than any pokemon game i have ever played, but it is so addicting. speaking of video games, i’ve been really wanting to make a save file for the sims 4, so that might be something i do during a stream. i think i might try to stream on the weekends, but i’ve gotta redo quite a few things and make sure everything is good to go. i know exactly who i’d want as moderators for when they are necessary, but i would be lying if i said i wasn’t really nervous about streaming. i know i don’t want to use my camera just yet, and i don’t exactly have money for a v-tube artist right now, but i have been meaning to look at artists i would like to hire when i do have more disposable income. this imposter syndrome is just… a huge obstacle. if i can learn to cope with it or overcome it, i’ll be unstoppable. but it’s so much deeper than my meds can reach, and it’s so difficult to find the energy to fight something so rooted in my being.

alright, i didn’t mean for it to get that dark, but… i did say i’ve been having increasingly darker thoughts lately. and rants like that are exactly why i started this blog to begin with. i am learning how to love myself and give myself the life i deserve.

Her focus veered sharply toward his recovery, eclipsing any inclination to delve into his budding romance with Kylie French. For months, she had been aware of his new relationship, slowly acclimating herself to the reality of witnessing him with someone other than herself. Someone that was compelling enough for him to openly commit to despite the potential repercussions on his professional life. Someone he loved enough to steadfastly dedicate himself to his sobriety. Alex could not fathom a reality where this didn’t sting. Kylie had seen him at his best, the version she had always yearned for but never had the patience to wait upon. She often grappled with the decision to part from the tour. Would enduring the challenges and maintaining the façade of being solely his friend, have altered their trajectory? Could it have led to a different outcome, perhaps aiding in his journey toward being sober? Or was their tumultuous path inevitable, no matter how harrowing it may have been? Irrespective of the implications of their relationship, she was relieved to know that he was better. His quiet acknowledgement of being on medication provided a sense of solace. She lived in a world seemingly populated with impossibly perfect individuals, untouched by the need for pharmaceutical aid. His admission was a comforting reminder of human frailty. Behind the veneer of perfection, everyone had their something. Some were just more adept at concealing them than others. She was grateful for someone she could relate to on a deeper level.  

Her curiosity piqued about the revelations unearthed in his therapy sessions, considering his prior reluctance to open up. Perhaps if there was anyone she should feel a tinge of jealously towards, it would be his therapist. How had they managed to penetrate the fortress of his guarded emotions? She couldn’t shake the memory of how he dismissed the psychiatrist at the hospital, eager to say or do anything just to flee from the sterile confines of those four walls. Despite everyone recognizing his unreadiness, they found themselves powerless against his iron determination. Alex’s gaze instinctively lifted to meet his, only to find his eyes already locked onto hers. He prodded for more details, prompting her brows to knit together in a confusion, a hint of amusement tugging at the corners of her lips. “What is what supposed to mean?” she asked, leaning forward to set down her nearly empty coffee cup onto the table. “Are you referring to what I said about Kylie?” Her laughter danced softly in the air as she settled back against the plush couch cushions. “I was simply paying homage to my former self. You remember.” She didn’t feel the need to elaborate further. Let him interpret it as he wished; after all, Alex wouldn’t quite be herself without a touch of sass. “It was nothing more than that. She’s great, really,” she affirmed with a nod. She genuinely believed her words. Though it stung that she and Zach did not make it, that she hadn’t been enough, her love for him was profound enough to accept it. Whatever brought him happiness was what mattered.

Yet, as she spoke, her thoughts drifted to her own happiness. Andrew. Alex blinked, her eyes drifting down to her neatly folded hands in her lap, her bare finger a silent reminder. Her tongue parted from between her lips, wetting her lips slightly. Her mouth had gone dry now. “There was another reason why I invited you, beyond last night,” she confessed, her voice quiet yet steady. Only silence hung between them now, the weight of unspoken words pressing against her chest. They swirled incessantly in her mind, refusing to take shape on her lips. She had anticipated this moment for months, meticulously preparing herself, but no amount of preparation could soften the blow of reality. Alex had convinced herself, over years of emotional distance, that their relationship had reached an irreversible conclusion. The fractures were too deep to mend. She could not envision a path back to what they once had. Yet, inexplicably, this moment felt like the true finale. Revealing her engagement felt like not just closing a chapter but incinerating the entire book. “You probably won’t even care. I don’t know why I can’t just say it,” she admitted, swallowing hard against the tide of emotion threatening to overwhelm her. With a nervous laugh, she attempted to mask her turmoil, all while inwardly chastising herself. Perhaps, in a hopeful corner of her mind, he wouldn’t be as affected by the news. Maybe he was genuinely content with Kylie, with the life they had crafted together, and the announcement wouldn’t shatter him. It may have been bittersweet but would not destroy him.

Deep down, she knew it was unlikely. His gaze, lingering on her, communicated the truth. And her own heartache, the twinge of hesitation within her, spoke volumes. It would be profound. “I could have said something, but I felt like you deserved to hear it from me directly, not in the presence of…” She trailed off, unable to articulate it. They were strangers. Strangers to the intricacies of their relationship and she could not fathom Andrew sharing that information so casually, Zach enduring the remainder of their dinner, attempting to cope with the revelation. The sight of diamond adorned finger but devoid of the promise they once shared. It would have been awful. “Drew proposed a few months ago, and I…I said yes…” Each word felt like a shard of glass piercing through her chest, leaving her raw and bleeding. Alex looked up at him, her eyes nearly swimming with tears, silently pleading for his understanding. “I understand if you don’t want to see me again. I just…wanted you to know.”

Zach understood innately that Alex was likely still on a controlled dosage to temper her anxiety; in another life, the shock of his presence the previous evening alone could have triggered an attack. She was evidently more measured than he had once known her to be. He was on a cocktail of his own making, too; mood stabilizers, formerly antidepressants which he had sacrificed for making him too numb, those special pills that reigned him in when he was verging on manic. “Me, too,” Zach divulged softly. He afforded himself the courtesy in that moment of refraining from pinning their recovery journeys on one another, or that it was a natural conclusion to their explosive period together. It would hurt, yes, but moreover he was too swept up in the dizzy bliss of being around her again to think of all that. When he looked at her, his heart thumped impatiently, even painfully. Her housewife comment panged subtly in his chest, gaze once again flitting to the empty space on her ring finger. His eyes slitted curiously. Though he felt an impulse to contest or question her accusation, he remained silent. There were too many answers he wasn’t yet prepared to hear. Her dance classes were evidence to the contrary on their own; her life had not been reduced to sitting around awaiting the return of her prized partner. Nor was she his wife. Zach chewed the bottom corner of his lip. Was she?

Anchored by the dimple sinking into her cheek, Zach also held his tongue on the matter of her father, of her floating gaze, her own withheld sentiments. There was a lot to say and, despite their solitude, not enough room to say it all. A sadness descended on him as he realized there might never be again. The spaces which they had once occupied in one another’s lives had not remained gaping or empty, waiting for the return of their former suitor; those open wounds had been packed full, fresh earth to graves, even if it all didn’t quite fit right. Zach swallowed, nodding, his eyes shining in strange admiration for a girl he felt he was re-learning. “It shows,” he answered finally, the sincerity evident in the grit of his tone. Alex met his eyes. His stomach fought with itself. She re-directed the conversation to him, and he found himself in contention with the idea; a vague, one-corner smile hashed his lips as his eyes wandered away. He didn’t feel so much like a success story as he did a survival story. He felt, in truth, like he had never actually put himself to the test since departing rehab. Hiccups occurred, sure, but mostly he had kept himself within a bubble and out of harm's way; he wasn’t sure he trusted himself to remain stringent if the waters were to get too rocky. 

And something about Alex in particular putting the spotlight on him made him squirm. He leaned away in his chair, back depressing all the way into the cushions supporting him. “Thanks,” he involuntarily imitated her like a learned tic. “I try,” he dismissed the topic amiably. But her teeth rolled against her lip and he watched her allow herself a brief moment to reflect on what they once were; how he had made her feel. The worry that haunted her heart when he had been the ghost entombing it. A needle inserted itself into his own pincushion heart. She attributed the catalyst for his stint in rehab to their cataclysmic end, and he supposed it was partially true. He was unfortunately more certain that he would’ve allowed it to kill him within a matter of months if not for Warren. He had not wanted to recover from Alex. He wanted her loss to die with him. His brother had been the one thing that’d encouraged him to stick around; then eventually, Kylie. Looking at Alex now, the way the morning sun bounced off her glassy skin, he wondered why that truth felt so hard to reach. But what was this glorified trophy she believed he had, that he had somehow earned? His gaze cut to her. Sobriety? His girlfriend? Would he keep either if she told him to throw them away?

Alex went on with a subtle, mind-bogglingly spritely dig in Kylie’s direction. Was it Kylie in particular she was targeting, or was it just that it wasn’t with Alex? He flinched with surprise like he’d been hit, tongue between his teeth as he analyzed her. He recognized he’d been too quiet. Now, he was being quiet for their own good, clamping his jaw around the tornado of questions raging in his throat that he knew he could not ask. He dressed his expectations in politeness and addressed her. “Mm. Not quite, Burton,” he negated her cover-up attempt with narrow eyes. As he leaned in, his fingers drummed the plastic lid of his cup sitting on the table between them. His expression was a keen middle-dial between apprehension and intrigue. “What is that supposed to mean?” he delivered svelte; a velveteen dagger.

my kinktober list!

It was the perfect chance for Yuuta.

He had waited for so long, and now his mother was more liberal, letting you be alone with him more, especially since at the present moment you had already reached the age of 21 a few weeks ago.

And even though your body was already that of a grown woman, your clothes were getting smaller and smaller, since they were bought a long time ago.

The shorts getting closer and closer to the edge of yours buttocks and getting tighter in the regions of the thighs, the skirts getting less and less long, the bras inevitably leaving something to be desired when it comes to holding yours tits.

Yuuta's hands could hold them better for you. And everything you did didn't go unnoticed by your step-brother.

There had been more than a few times that Okkotsu Yuuta had sneaked out of his bed during the night to ajar your bedroom door with his hard cock being squeezed by the fabric of his shorts. He desperately needed to relieve himself and at that time the only way he could get off was seeing you.

Seeing you do anything, even the least suggestive action possible.

He had already passed the stage of needing only to fantasize about your body, but this stage was shattered to pieces as soon as one day Yuuta had come home distracted from his part-time job, totally exhausted from almost missing the bus and running after him to get home, and went straight to the bathroom, where you were changing after having just showered.

And, damn, your tits were enough to make Yuuta get a boner at the same moment just after a good stare at them.

That day, while taking a shower, he fucked his own hand so hard and fast that he went a few hours without being able to move his wrist, all while the water from the shower running down his back calmly. And when his mother asked him what had happened, he only replied that the "work day was hard".

Ironically, on that very day, 2 years before you reached the 21-year mark, you commented to her that there was a nice guy in one of your university classes who had asked you out. And your step-brother swore he saw a sneering smile appear on your lips, as if you were telling him that Okkotsu Yuuta would never, ever, in a million years get what he wanted from you.

Without thinking much, he said that the guy must be an ass and a disgusting person to like someone like you, to which your mouth quickly replied: "You've never had a girlfriend, nor a flirt, so I don't think I should take into consideration what you say about a person I like”.

Obviously Yuuta never had a girlfriend, he wanted you to hold this position, but more important than that: did you like that disgusting guy from your university? Like, really?

No, you didn't, but Yuuta didn't need to know that, your intention was just to make him angry to see how far he could keep the mask of a protective brother without ulterior motives.

And he didn't answer you right away; there was a tense atmosphere between the two of you during the rest of the night and before you went to bed Yuuta walked from his room to yours after seeing that your father hadn't come home yet and his mother was asleep on the living room couch.

— D'you really like him? — He asked as if it wasn't information that was very necessary for his existence, even though internally he was almost bursting with hate, and like if the question was just a normal worrie from your big step-brother.

— What d'you think? — You answered without paying much attention to the fact that he entered your room without permission and locked the door from the inside.

— I think you're acting like a slut just to spite me. — Yuuta said, running his gaze over your almost completely uncovered body, because of the small pajamas you were wearing.

— You're not very smart, are you?

And that was the last straw for Yuuta to grab your face with one hand and pull you against his in a desperate kiss that conveyed more anger than affection.

It was a kiss drenched in jealousy and possession, but not obsession.

Your legs wobbled like jelly, but you had a dignity to maintain, especially for your older step-brother who always acted as if he knew what was best for you.

So your first action was to bite Yuuta's lips not hard enough to draw blood, even though your body was begging for more of his kisses.

He pulled away with a completely surprised countenance, he expected everything but that, but soon surprise was replaced with resentment and his hand on your chin slid to your neck, where he applied enough pressure to make you open your mouth because of the little pain it caused. And Yuuta took advantage of your careless movement to spit against your tongue and then walk away with a cruel smile on his lips.

And, damn it, that action that was supposed to be disgusting to you turned you on so much that you felt the bottom of your panties wet and cheeks burn with shame. Your mouth unconsciously let Yuuta's saliva slide into your throat instead of spitting it out.

— You're not very smart either, hm? — Yuuta whispered before letting go of your neck without breaking eye contact. — And you don't have good manners with your older bro either. — He gave you a disgusted look before walking to the bedroom door again to unlock it, but before leaving you alone and going back to his room, you heard him speak: — I may have to fuck respect into you by force some other day.

You weren't brave enough to face your step-brother as he walked out of your room without looking at you, leaving the door wide open, but, in compensation, when the clock almost hit the three o'clock mark and you couldn't sleep, yours hands got busy moving over your swollen clit and groping your tits while your mind kept hammering out Yuuta's words and projecting that the fingers were actually his.

It was one of the few times you masturbated thinking about someone extremely specific and it was an orgasm that turned vision white and mouth fought too hard to stifle the moans with your teeth biting your bottom lip.

After a while you slowly forgot Yuuta's words... or at least you convinced yourself to forget, since every time your hand slid into the space between yours legs your mind made sure to remind you of that.

Even now after 2 years the moment was not completely forgotten, in fact, both you and your step-brother were eagerly awaiting the day that his promise maybe was going to become a concrete action.

And that day was knocking on the door exactly today, with your parents telling that they had a working dinner at their respective companies and would be out of the house until about eleven o'clock at night; it was now eight o'clock.

Yuuta's amused smile that appeared as soon as his mother communicated the evening's plans after she had showered and started getting ready for her appointment was read by her as an excitement for the success of her work. And not as excitement that he was about to fulfill the most secret, most carnal, dirtiest desire he had cultivated for a long time.

— Take good care of your sister, 'kay? — Yuuta's mother spoke before taking her purse and opening the front door waving goodbye to the two of you who were standing in the middle of the living room watching for her to go join your father outside the house. — And behave yourselves.

— I've always taken good care of her. — Yuuta replied shrugging his shoulders and looking at you out of the corner of eyes until he heard the thud of the front door closing and his mother's key locking that entrance from the outside. — Mhm... — He brought a hand to his chin, scratching it and running his gaze down your body. — What d'you wanna do today? — You watched him walk over to the sofa, sit down in the middle of it, grab the remote and turn on the TV to change channels without finding anything to hold his attention.

— With you? Nothing. — A mocking laugh escaped Yuuta's lips and he squinted eyes in your direction, as if to say that he didn't believe a word that came out of your mouth.

— That hurt my feelings so much. — Yuuta remarked, not containing another laugh and calling you with his index finger in his direction. — Why don't you watch a movie with me? — He asked looking suggestively at you and you looked away from him to the television, but yours feet barely waited for him to finish speaking before starting a walk toward him and stopping beside his body.

— Which movie?

— Whatever you want. — Yuuta answered, sending you an innocent look.

You leaned over to sit beside him on the couch, but his arm wrapped around your waist and pulled you to the side, making your body occupy the vacant space between his legs that had been open since the first moment he sat on the couch.

— Yuuta... — You began to speak without being able to formulate a complete thought as you suddenly felt vulnerable, shoulders tense and throat tight.

— Yeah? — His eyes were glazed over at the TV that now showed the middle of a low-budget movie that was obviously not worth the time of the two of you or the people who acted in it.

As you felt his hands land on your thighs and play with the hem of your pajama bottoms, you wondered if it wouldn't be easier to play his game.

— If I sit like this, you won't be able to watch the movie.

So you decided that, yes, it would be easier to play Yuuta's game.

With a light squeeze on yours thighs, Yuuta took a few long seconds to answer.

— If you stay like this... — One of his hands reached up to meet the base of your neck and forced your body backward, with your back resting against his chest, torso arching forward, ass now buried against his pelvis and cock and head on one of his shoulders. — I can do it.

Your breath caught in the middle of your throat and you felt guilty that you were enjoying the situation, and enjoying it even more when Yuuta placed your legs apart from each other over his, leaving you wide open to receive his touches, and snaked his free hand down your sensitive inner thighs.

— Are you a virgin? — Yuuta asked in a whisper without actually touching between your legs.

— Treat me as if I'm not. — You replied thoughtlessly, the only thing your attention was really focused on was watching your stepbrother's hand threaten to reach the place where you most wanted it to be.

— How is it possible for a virgin to act like a whore who had already been used by several men? — Yuuta commented, rubbing his fingertips over your covered pussy and feeling both the bottoms of yours panties and pajama wet. — Damn, are you already wet like that? Disgusting slut. — He let an amused chuckle escape his lips and hearing your consequent low, almost inaudible moan at being treated in that rough way made his dick get even harder against the curve of your ass. — Oh, you like being treated like a hole to be used, huh?

You swallowed hard trying to deny it by moving your head from side to side, but your hand was already too busy silently contradicting you and going to rest on top of Yuuta's palm over your pussy guiding his fingers to apply more pressure on your clit.

— Can you please-ngh! — You breathed heavily as your hips forced themselves upward just to enjoy more of the friction caused by your stepbrother's fingers.

— Please what? — His other hand squeezed your neck a little tighter.

— Use your fingers... inside me, please. — You felt your cheeks heat up after verbalizing your desire that had been going on for two years.

— Oh, just that? You have very simple desires. — Yuuta pulled your panties aside along with your pajamas and pushed his fingers slowly inside you.

You were so tight that they barely went in straight, to move them in a scissor motion was almost impossible. Yuuta couldn't wait to have his cock being squeezed through your walls the same way his fingers were being.

He moved them slowly outward from you to push them inward and redo the motion a few more times until your cunt got his digits wetter and his job of fucking you easier.

By now it had become difficult to control the sounds of your moans and, realizing this, your older brother brought the hand that was on your neck to your mouth.

The wet noise coming from inside you were arousing him more than he thought possible and his eyes couldn't tear themselves away from where his digits disappeared and reappeared again and again.

His fingers curving against your walls were making an abnormal pleasure run through your body and although you had experienced orgasms before, it was different when you had someone doing the work for you.

Yuuta filled you better, reached parts of your insides that you couldn't reach on your own and widened your walls in such a good way that it made you regret a little that you hadn't let him take advantage of your wet hole sooner.

— Look at you, taking my fingers like a lil' greedy thing. — He increased the pace inside you, knowing that your orgasm was near because of the way your legs were trembling, your hips thrusting against his hand and your back arching painfully.

And Yuuta let you cum as a previous act of kindness, because in the following moments he would definitely use your wet hole without any of it, even if you were not the most experienced person in the world.

For the first time an orgasm made you dizzy, with the pupils almost forming hearts and your body totally trembling against Yuuta's.

You were definitely a degenerate virgin who didn't know what it was like to actually be touched by another person. And it felt so good.

You would easily become addicted to your stepbrother's hands running freely through your body.

Giving you a little time to breathe, he lifted you to the side and let you sit down on the couch before he got busy removing his own clothes.

You had seen him naked before, but it had been so many years ago and on such distinctly non-suggestive occasions that it was almost like seeing the body of a young adult you didn't know, so much so that the sight of his long, lean cock made your cheeks feel warm and a sense of dread predominate.

— Still keeping your word to lemme treat you the way I want? — Yuuta asked, raising his eyebrows before hooking hands around the edge of your shirt and pulling it up, freeing your tits to be groped and licked by him.

— I don't usually take back what I say. — You replied, tangling fingers in your stepbrother's soft dark hair as his mouth sucked on your nipples.

— Atta girl. — Yuuta whispered, tracing kisses down your cleavage, leaving bites down your neck and reaching your lips to seal them in a deep and almost affectionately sincere kiss, quite different from the first one he stole years ago.

Still kissing you, he migrated with hands to the bottom of your pajamas to remove both your shorts and panties and as soon as your breath gave way and your hands brushed against his shoulders to break the kiss, his lips were replaced by your own soaked panties which Yuuta forced into your mouth, pushing them against your tongue.

— What a beautiful sight, I may end up getting used to all this!

He opened a sideways smile before pulling your lower body up, putting legs around his hips and pushing your folds apart only to visualize the insides as tight as before, it didn't even seem like minutes before he was widening your walls with his fingers.

— What do you think about... — His tongue ran over the lips. — Me fucking you raw, hard, and then filling your womb with my cum? — His eyes snaked down your vulnerable body and reached yours own and yours orbs glowed to say the least, even though your head moved negatively. — How sad, you haven't even tasted it yet and you already deny it?

Leaning one hand on the back of the couch and using the other to guide his cock into your pretty cunt, Yuuta spoke again with his voice lowering a few octaves:

— I'm gonna have to fuck respect into you anyway, right?

And right after those words he pushed himself into you quickly and yours eyes watered from the sudden uncomfortable pain, hands desperately dug their nails into Yuuta's back and the eventual cries of pain that came from deep in your throat were muffled by your panties.

And while you faced the pain of the sensation of being cut open in the middle, your stepbrother enjoyed the pleasure of having your walls milking his dick.

Fuck, he could feel all the way down to your cervix, the tip of his cock kissing it was an insane sensation.

Throwing his head back, Yuuta let out an almost animalistic moan that definitely matched the bestial rhythm he chose to use to start bumping his hips against yours own. His balls going directly against your ass and one of his hands firmly gripping your waist.

You hated the idea of losing your virginity in a romantic situation, you wanted, in fact, to be treated the way Yuuta was doing and that was precisely why it didn't take more than two, three, a few minutes for you to turn into a drooling mess with eyes rolling upwards, saliva dripping from the corner of your lips and mingling with the liquid from your pussy that wet the panties still in your mouth; legs trembling and struggling to stay attached around your older stepbrother's hips.

It was hallucinatingly good and the feeling of knowing that the whole situation itself was wrong and disgusting to people other than the two of you seemed to amplify your pleasure.

At one point Yuuta put his hand on your chin, forced you to look away, where the door locked ages before by his mother was and leaned over your body without stopping fucking you hard.

— Imagine what they would think if they saw you enjoying being fucked by your older half-brother, uh? — You tried to grab his wrist to stop being forced to look at that door, but in response Yuuta just continued to hold your face. — How embarrassing for you.

Yuuta's cock kept moving in and out of you rapidly and as he continued to use one hand to hold your face, the other slid down your body to place itself on your clit and begin to stimulate it.

The pleasure went through your body again and you ended up reaching your second orgasm with legs shaking even more and pussy creaming all over your brother's dick.

Your eyes got teary from the overstimulation caused by the fact that Okkotsu kept thrusting into you only to have the pleasure of being the first man in your life to paint your walls white and see his cum leaking out of your entrance; and that's exactly what happened.

It was gratifying for Yuuta to see his own stsister's pussy filled with his seed.

Soon afterwards he made an effort to normalize his own breathing, free your mouth from the fabric barrier of your panties and take you to the nearest bathroom.

Maybe he would even give you good, soft, gentle hugs during the bath that he intended to share with you that night.

I can be a better boyfriend than him. Pt.3

A/N: This is the last and final part of this mini series. I hope you guys enjoyed it! I think I might rewrite this in the future. Also, this is set after Endgame. Tony is alive and well.

Summary: Christmas day gets interrupted.

Warnings: Fluff and some angst

Series masterlist

“Mommy! Mommy!” You heard your children scream as they jumped into bed with you. You heard Tony groan as your youngest son and daughter, Dakota and Oaklee,  decided to tackle him. “It’s Cwismas! Santa came!” Your eldest son, Roman, rushed out as he attempted to pull you out of bed. 

You smiled as you let him pull you out of bed, looking back at Tony as he attempted to carry the other two. They were getting too big to be held, but Tony refused to acknowledge that they were growing. You had F.R.I.D.A.Y. turn on the lights that decorated the tree, illuminating the living room. 

Tony walked over to you with two cups of coffee, watching the kids glow with joy as they opened their presents. Wrapping paper of all sorts of colors and design now decorated the living room. Your kids took turns showing off their toys. Roman put on the iron helmet Tony made him, running around the couch pretending to have repulsor blasts in his hands. 

You quickly turned around as you felt a presence behind you, eyebrows furrowing when you see there’s nothing. 

“Everything okay?” Tony asked from beside you. 

“Yeah. Everything’s perfect.” You smiled. 

You couldn't shake the feeling that there was something—or someone—nearby, but you brushed it off and continued to watch the kids. Once all the gifts were opened, Tony went off to make breakfast. You took the opportunity to do a quick scan of the house. 

Your previous years as an agent made it easy to scope out any intruders. Your 6th sense never failed you, and you knew exactly who it was. Reaching the garage, you saw the shadow run behind the cars. 

“Come on out, Steve, it’s just me.” You said with a sigh, leaning against the car. 

“I see you haven’t lost your touch.” He replied with a lopsided smile. 

“If anything, they’ve gotten better with the kids.” You notice his eyes soften when he hears you mention the kids, a wave of angst washing over you. “What are you doing here?” 

“I’m not really sure. Just wanted to see how you were doing. I, um, I brought this.” He hands you a small velvet box. You look up at him and then down at the box, slowly opening it to find the necklace he’d gifted you when you two were together. “You don’t have to keep it, just wanted to give it back to you.”

“I thought I’d lost this.” You say as you run your fingers over it. “Can you help me put it on?” Steve instantly nodded, you pushed your hair to the side as he slipped the necklace on. 

“I found it when I returned and felt it was wrong to keep it.” 

You gave him a small smile, a silent thank you as you held the charm in your hand. 

“I know there’s nothing I can do to change your mind. I’ve come to terms with it. I’m happy you’re happy, Y/N. You deserve it all, and I’m sorry I couldn’t give it to you.” Tears filled his eyes as he spoke.

“Thank you, Steve. I’m sorry things turned out the way they did, but you’ll always have a special place in my heart.” You leaned towards you, placing a gentle kiss on his cheek. 

You never wanted things with Steve to end the way they did, but there was nothing you could do now. You were happy with Tony and your little family, that’s all that mattered to you. 

“Mommy?” You heard your daughter call out to you. “Bweakfast weady!” 

“I’ll be right there, baby!” You yelled back. 

“You’re too good for this world, Y/N. Never forget that.” He smiled at you. “I should probably get going. They need you, and I need to return the stones. I’ll see you around.” 

Steve left before you had the chance to say goodbye. Something about his words felt off, almost like a goodbye. You didn’t give yourself much time to think about it, not wanting your family to wait any longer. 

Tony watched as you walked in, sitting beside him on the couch. He instantly noticed the necklace around your neck, recognizing it. You watched your kids eat their breakfast from afar, admiring how precious they were. 

“Steve was in the garage.” You told Tony, waiting to see his reaction. 

“Is he what made you turn around earlier?” He asked. You nodded your head. 

“It kind of felt like he was saying goodbye.” You whispered. 

Tony reached out to you, pulling you into his lap. “Let it out, baby. It’s okay.”

You let the silent tears stream down your face as he rubbed your back. Tony knew Steve would always have a part of you. His actions still hurt you, even after all these years. Seeing him again brought back so many memories, good and bad. You didn’t think it’d affect you so much. 

“I’m sorry.” You looked up at Tony. 

“Don’t apologize. I know he’s still important to you.” He reassured you, giving you his signature smile.. 

You leaned forward and pressed your lips to his. Tony was the best partner you could ever ask for. Your heart belonged to him, no matter what. 

“I love you, Tony. So much.” 

—------------------------------------

What you didn’t know was that Steve did say goodbye. He couldn’t live in a world where you weren’t his. He could pretend that was happy and moved on, but deep down, he was miserable. He wanted everything you had with Tony. 

He was going to return the stones and stay behind, stay with Peggy, and finish out his life with her. Maybe in a different lifetime, a different world, he’d have you instead. Now he’d have to live with the regret of leaving for the rest of his life.

Paparazzi (H.S)

My Main Masterlist is here.

Harry Styles Masterlist is here.

Summary: It’s your daughter’s first day of school and you all decide to go get ice cream afterwards. What you didn’t know was that you would be mobbed by the paparazzi and your daughter would get hurt.

Warnings: angst, comfort, hurt, fluff. It is really a concoction of it all.

._._._._.

The first day of school was always hard on the kids while the parents rejoiced on having some alone time. But it was the exact opposite in your house. Your husband has not stopped tearing up from the time you both woke up to send Emma to school. You were feeling a bit emotional as well but Harry was a whole other case.

He walked up to her room and instead of waking her up, he cuddled with her. When you found them, you wanted to shout at him but they both looked so cute. The whole morning was spent with you trying to undo your husband’s childish antics such as hiding Emma’s bag pack or not ironing her school clothes. What he didn’t know was that you were always two steps ahead of him? You had prepared for backup the night before because you knew your husband like the back of your hand.

“We’re ready to go.” You announced as soon as you stepped into the living room. You had dressed up your daughter in a yellow sunflower Gucci jumpsuits with white sneakers. If it was on you, you would have decided on something other than Gucci but your husband was obsessed with that brand so you let it slide this time around. She just looked so effing cute that you couldn’t believe you had made her.

“Ughhh.” Groaning, Harry slumped back on the couch and covered his already teary eyes.

“H, she’s goin’ t’school. Now, get the car out.”

Emma left your hand and toddled over to her father and gently tapped his thighs. “Dadda, happy?”

“Daddy’s happy but a li’l sad too ‘cause you’re growin’ up too fast.” He tenderly kissed her hair that were now trapped in space buns. Emma was an exact mixture of you and Harry because she inherited his green eyes and wild, curly hair but her button nose and smile was all you. She was perfect.

“Love yeh.” Hugging her dad, she hid her face in his neck. You had taught her that a ‘love you’ and a hug can make things better for other people and she never failed to implement it in her life.

“Love y’too, bunny. Y’excited about school?”

“Yeah! Mommy said new frein’.” One thing about your daughter that everyone knows is that she loves making her friends. She’s a bit of a social butterfly which is the complete opposite of both of her parents.

“Yes, y’will bunny. Now, let’s go.”

Dropping her off to school was eventful to say the least. Harry cried when he hugged her good bye and wouldn’t let go of her even when the closing bell rang. You had initially planned to go back home and sleep for four uninterrupted hours but your husband decided that he wanted to sit in the car and wait for Emma.

You wanted to argue with him but you didn’t have the heart to say no to his puppy eyes. Harry always had a special bond with Emma since the day she was born and he always struggled with leaving her alone. Even on tours, he would take you and Emma with him so he didn’t have to spend a minute alone without you guys. He always worried about both your safety and you found it really cute. He wanted the principal to allow him to tag along with Emma but you talked him out of it.

So now here you were sitting outside on a bench with your head resting on Harry’s shoulder while answering his absurd questions.

“What if she’s cryin’?”

“What if she didn’t eat ‘er lunch?”

“What if someone’s bullyin’ her?”

“What if she misses us?”

When the time neared for the school to end, Harry stood right in front of the gate and didn’t let anyone obstruct his view to the entrance. You just shook your head at his antics and stood with the rest of the parents. Many parents had recognised Harry but they knew that he was in no mood to interact with anyone so they respected his privacy.

“Dadda!” Harry bent down and gathered the toddler in his arms. “Miss Lucy ga’ me a star!”

“Oh wow! Y’are m’shining star, bunny.”

You made your way towards them and kissed your daughter on her rosy cheeks. “How was your day, darlin’?”

“Very good. Made new friends too; Rosy and Sophie.” As Harry buckled her in her car seat, she continued to babble about her day.

“Y’deserve some ice cream, bunny.”

Your daughter cheered instantly and a smile appeared on your lips. The one thing that you and your daughter share heartily is the love for ice cream. You were craving one since last night and Harry knew it as well. He was going to your favorite ice cream parlor right down the street from your house. When you got there, Harry put on his baseball cap and sunglasses and gave yours to you as well.

“Daddy, chocolate.” Harry carried the excited toddler inside because it was a little crowded than usual and he didn’t want to risk anything.

“I know, bunny. Go sit with y’mum and I’ll order for us all.”

“H, I want-”

“Double scoop scotch butter and chocolate. Have known y’order since the day we went on our firs’ date.”

“‘kay, showoff.” You went to go sit on the far corner of the parlor so that you would all be out of the public’s eye. You noticed that many of the people in the restaurant had started to notice Harry but you just focused on your kid.

“‘m with family. Can’t take pictures right now. ‘m sorry.” Your husband’s apologetic voice filtered through the air as he made his way towards your table.

“Just one picture. I’m a big fan. Please!”

Harry silently gestured you to get up because there were some fans following him. You noticed that your order was packed to go and so you got up with Emma in your arms.

“Guys, please. We need some privacy.”

“Just let us take a picture of your family.”

“No.” Harry plain out refused because he was not going to subject his family, especially his daughter, to unwanted spotlight. “Let’s go.”

As soon as you got out, you were blinded with flashlights. Harry immediately took Emma from you and tucked you under his left arm. He hid Emma’s face in his neck and softly instructed her to not raise her head. Somehow the paparazzi had been alerted and a mob had gathered around the parlor in the twenty minutes that you were here. People were literally going crazy and Harry regretted not having his guards around.

“Harry, please tell us more about your oncoming tour.”

“Is there a third album coming out?”

“Can we get a picture of your kid?”

“Was it her first day of school?”

There were some very over enthusiastic fans that wanted to get a picture and they started pulling on your clothes. “GET AWAY FROM US.” Harry had never raised his voice at his fans but at this moment he didn’t care about anything other than his wife and daughter.

“Harry!” You were literally scared out of your mind right now because there was no way you guys were getting out of this tightly packed mob. You could already feel some scratches along your arms from the numerous hands that were gripping on you.

Someone reached their hand out to pull Emma from Harry’s arm and it was so sudden that your husband lost his grip for a moment. Your daughter’s screech could be heard alongside the crowd and Harry lost it.

Tightening his hold around her shaking figure, he pushed the paparazzi who was trying to turn Emma around. “DO NOT TOUCH MY CHILD. D’YOU UNDERSTAND ME?” He literally pushed the man out of his way and guided you out of the mob with a new found determination.  

“Get in the car, fast.” He quickly peeled out of the parking lot and heaved a sigh of relief when you couldn’t view them in your rearview mirror anymore. “’m sorry, love.”

“H, don’t apologise. Let’s just go home.” The whole ride home you tried to calm your daughter down but she was inconsolable. She had never experienced something like this and her arm was starting to bruise from the place where that man had tried to pull her. Harry’s heart broke a little more every time he heard her let out another pained wail and he just wanted to sue them all for doing this to her daughter.

By the time you reached home, Emma’s cries had reduced to pained whimpers and Harry took her from you so that you could go get the first aid kid. “Mummy’s gonna rub a cream and everythin’ll be alright, bunny. I’m so sorry.” He kept whispering in her ears till the time you came back and applied the numbing cream on her arm.

“Lemme do it for you as well.” You pulled off your hoodie and Harry stopped himself to shed any tears at the sight of your scratched and bloodied arms. He shifted Emma on to his left thigh where she quietly sucked on her thumb and gently applied the cream on to your arms. “’m gonna sue them all, I swear.”

“H, y’don’t have to do that. We’re fine and that’s what matters.”

“But-” He wanted to protest but you interrupted him with a gentle kiss.

“No need to think about it and Emma tomorrow’s your day off.”

“Yes!” Your daughter had earned it after the day she had and Harry silently agreed to it as well.

“Now, let’s g’take a nap in our room.” You all were exhausted and this seemed like the best idea. Harry could deal with the news and the management later on. Right now, his family needed him and that’s what mattered to him.

Hope you guys liked it!!

pizza guy | myg x reader

pizza guy

delivery guy! yoongi x customer! reader oneshot

genre: fluff ft. crack

warning: language (maybe?)

synopsis: When you fall for the guy who was delivering your roommate’s raging pizza addiction, you were fine to look at him from afar… apparently your roommate wasn’t and did the best to make sure you caught his attention.

Yoongi was clearly not amused.

“Hey-“

He shoved the pizza into your arms and backed away, looking slightly hurt…betrayed, “I gotta go… iron… my cat.”

Yes, you were in love with the pizza guy. You weren’t exactly “in love,” but Jungkook wouldn’t take the “admiration” that you used to describe him… anyone could see, you were head over heels over that guy since the pizza you met him.

You met Yoongi when Jungkook wasn’t there, he ordered pizza and fell asleep playing overwatch in his room. You could clearly remember that you were wearing a towel around your head when someone knocked on the door.

6 weeks ago…

“Jungkook! Pizza!”

No answer.

You groaned as you got up from your comfy position on the couch, the knocking continued, “Coming!!!” You muttered under your breath, “I don’t even like pizza, Jungkook you little shit.”

When you opened the front door, you were surprised… at least caught off guard. There was a guy, black hair, piercings, ripped jeans and AgustD concert hoodie with his hand in mid-knock. You noticed he had nice hands, piano hands… nice veiny piano hands. He looked at you surprised… there was something about him though… maybe the fact that he was wearing your favorite rapper’s concert hoodie or his soothing voice that made you melt inside, “hi.”

“Hi.” You said, dazed by his deep and mumbled voice.

“Um… pizza?” He held the pizza box, which you only now noticed, up.

“Oh yeah!” You said, grabbing Jungkook’s wallet from the counter. He’s the pizza guy Y/N, he’s just the pizza guy… maybe a handsome pizza guy-

“Pepperoni right… Jungkook?” He read the name off the box, snapping you from your thoughts. He looked back at you and his face went blank, “Your boyfriend?”

You slightly laughed, “No, childhood friend and roommate, more like a brother really.”

He smiled, the way that his eyes squinted as his cheeks raised into a perfect smile sent butterflies through your body. He’s cute…

You stared at him awkwardly, still holding Jungkook’s wallet, you probably looked like a doofus. You snapped back into your senses once you heard a loud thump upstairs… Jungkook probably fell off his bed again.

“Is he okay?” The pizza guy asked, looking up.

“Yeah, it happens all the time.” You saw his name tag pinned on his shirt, what you would assume was his name along with the Pizza Hut logo, “Yoongi?”

“Huh,” his head snapped back to meet your gaze, he looked down to where you staring, “Yeah…”

Awkwardness befell both of you again.

“Should I pay…?” You raised Jungkook’s wallet slightly.

“Oh… yeah.” Yoongi messed his hair slightly, making him even more hot than before. Y/n stop thirsting, he’s the pizza guy. “Sorry, I’m a little out of it today… It’ll be $14.99.”

“No, no, same.” You handed him a $20 bill, “Keep the change.”

“Thanks,” Yoongi turned around.

“AgustD!” You yelled without thinking, Yoongi stopped and faced you, “Y-your hoodie,” you muttered, “I like him… I mean your hoodie… I mean yeah…”

Yoongi nodded, “I like him too, you listened to his new album, yet?”

“D-2?” You chuckled, “I listened to the whole thing in one sitting, I almost fainted when he suddenly dropped it.”

“Same, literally when Big Hit was teasing it, I think I screamed a little.”

“A little?” You remembered how Jungkook came rushing into your room, thinking you cut off a finger or something.

“Okay, a lot.” Yoongi admitted, rolling his eyes, amused, “Dear My Friend was probably my favorite, a masterpiece.”

“It was such an emotional song though, the lyrics…”

“Exactly, he has such a great beat to lyrics ratio, like you can’t just have good lyrics with a boring beat, he found a great ratio to balance both out. Does that make sense?” Yoongi looked down slightly, cheeks slightly pink.

“Definitely, also with Moonlight? Great lyrics with a great rhythm, the way that he’s able to portray the exact messages with the exact feelings he’s saying it with is just insane!”

“I know right!” Yoongi smiled as he saw your excitement, “It’s nice to see someone who understands good music.”

“Touché.” You smiled back.

“Y/N?” Jungkook called out, emerging from behind you. He straightened his posture when he saw Yoongi, “Who’s that?”

“This is Yoongi… my new pizza friend-guy.”

Yoongi gave you a look and whispered, “New pizza friend-guy, seriously?”

“I didn’t know what else to say!” You whispered back.

Jungkook walked up to you and put his arms around your waist, narrowMing his gaze on Yoongi, “Hi.”

Yoongi mirrored his gaze, though Jungkook was a much taller and thicker wall of muscle, Yoongi didn’t seem the slightest bit dazed, “Hi.” He turned to you, handing you the receipt and a $5 coupon, “It was nice talking to you, Y/n.” He walked to his motorcycle and drove off. You didn’t want him to go.

Jungkook closed the door, forcing you to stop looking at the empty spot where Yoongi was talking to you only minutes ago, “What was that?”

“Pizza.” You muttered as you pointed to the pizza box you held in your arms.

“Yes, but Yoongi.”

“He’s just the Pizza guy, the delivery man.” You shrugged, not wanting to make a big deal of it.

“Last time I checked, you’re not the type of person to strike up a conversation with the pizza guy.” Jungkook took slice and bit into it, he waved the slice to you, using it like a pointer, “Hell, you don’t even like talking to your classmates for help.”

“That’s different!” You said, taking a bite, “We talked about music not about if Khan was right or not… which by the way he wasn’t.”

“Mhmmmm…” Jungkook rolled his eyes, chewing in silence before gasped, “You like him!”

“What! No, I don’t!” You said, rolling your watch around your wrist.

“You play with your watch when you’re nervous! You only get nervous when you like people!”

“No!” You stopped playing with your watch. “It’s just a-admiration.”

“You’re stuttering!”

“That’s doesn’t mean shit!”

“It means you’re nervous!”

“Oh, shut up!” You shoved a slice of pizza into Jungkook’s mouth.

Jungkook rolled his eyes and chewed, “Well, if he’s the new delivery guy you’re gonna see him often.”

“What?”

“I love pizza. We eat pizza like twice a week, remember?”

---

1 week ago…

After that you had many conversations with Yoongi, without a towel wrapped around your head. You found out that he was 22 and went to the same uni as you and Jungkook did. You found out that he was a music major and wanted to be a producer. His job at the Pizza Hut was part-time to pay his rent and save up to buy a better mike. Sometimes you would order pizza just to talk to him and when you did, he and you talked so long that the pizza went cold. And he always left you coupons.

“Y/n…” Jungkook said, opening the fridge, “This is getting excessive… even for me.”

“What do you mean?” You scrolled through your phone, thinking about ordering pizza again.

“We have 7 boxes of pizza in our fridge, that’s what I mean!” Jungkook slammed the fridge door and huffed, “You gotta get his number.”

You snapped your head up, “What?!”

“You can’t keep ordering pizza to talk to this guy!” Jungkook waved his hands around, “You’re starting to make me, Jeon Jungkook, a pizza lover, HATE pizza!”

“I can’t just ask for his number!”

“Why not!?” Jungkook glared.

“I-I want him to ask me for mine…” You looked down at the floor.

Jungkook sighed, “Y/N, it’s fucking 2022, girls can ask guys for their numbers too.”

“Yeah… but I want him to ask me… Plus what if he doesn’t like me! What if he thinks I’m a stalker!”

Jungkook rolled his eyes. “The man comes 4 times a week to deliver you pizza, I think “liking you” is an understatement.”

“But that’s his job!”

“It’s not his job to talk to you for over an hour every time he comes here!”

“Well, still!”

Jungkook huffed and messed with his hair, “Would you stop ordering pizza if he asks for your number?”

You thought about it for a moment, “yeah.”

“Fine. I have a plan.”

----

Present…

Jungkook did not tell you what his plan was, but here you were standing on the porch with Yoongi and… Jungkook’s friend, Taehyung in a Domino’s hat, holding a pizza box. Yoongi glared at Taehyung who was trying not to laugh, making him look like he was laughing even more. You glared back at Jungkook who gave you a thumbs up from the kitchen, you gave him the finger.

You sighed and approached Yoongi, “Hey-“

He shoved the pizza into your arms and backed away, looking slightly hurt…betrayed, “I gotta go… iron… my cat.” And with that he ran to his motorcycle and drove away.

Taehyung looked at you, confused, “Well, I wasn’t expecting that. I mean, I thought he would try to punch me or kiss you, or both, but I didn’t expect that.”

You ignored him and opened the pizza box, you gasped and dropped the pizza, running to Jungkook’s car.

“Y/N!” Jungkook yelled, “You can’t fucking drive!”

“I have a license!” You yelled back, realizing you didn’t have the keys, “Throw me the keys!”

“Do you even know where you’re going? And you can’t catch for shit either!” Jungkook said, running to you, handing you the keys.

“I’ll be fine!” You said as you hastily as you nearly tripped on your way over to the car.

”Y/N-“

I’m okay!” You hollered as you sped off like a mad woman, still remembering the words neatly printed on the pizza box in Yoongi’s long, elegant handwriting.

“will you be my girlfriend?”

——-—

You nearly hit a dumpster as you tried to park in the empty parking lot, but even then, Yoongi didn’t leave your mind. You leaped out of your car, nearly falling on your ass, but even then, Yoongi didn’t leave your mind as you desperately scrambled to the Pizza Hut.

Inside it was mostly empty, it is only 5:30… The quiet hum of ovens and chatter from the cashiers filled the room. You immediately rushed to the guy working at the register.

“Welcome to Pizza Hut, what can I get you-“

“Yoongi.” You huffed, out of breath, “I need to talk to him.”

The guy olled his eyes, “Girlie, we have at least 4 girls come on a daily basis to try to chat him up, he isn’t interested, okay? He got his deliver girl that he talks to for hours-“ The guy paused before looking up at you, “Wait what’s your name?”

“Y/N…” You half-whispered, hoping that you hadn’t somehow hallucinated the whole thing.

The guy’s eyes widened as he squealed, “OMGOMGOMGOMGOMOGMOGMOGMOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMOGMOGMOGMOGMOGG!!!!! You’re Y/N! Yoongi’s CRUSHHHHHH!” He jumped up and down, “Did you get the box?” He grabbed your hands, “Did you say yes?”

“He ran away before I could-“

The guy let go as he rolled his eyes, “Yoongi that little cowardly shit-“

“If you’re going to curse me out Hobi, please don’t do it in front of a customer-“ Yoongi emerged from the back, freezing at the sight of you. You stared, he was in an apron with flour dusted on his cheek, that’s hot-

“Forget you! You seriously had the audacity to not tell me my ship sailed, after I built it for weeks?” The guy screeched.

He talked about me.

“Hobi.” Yoongi glared.

“Seriously Min Yoongi, what the fuck-“

“Y/N.” He called out, “You should go.”

You crossed your arms, “I actually needed to talk to you about something.”

“Can it wait?”

“No.”

Yoongi’s face visibly hardened, “Fine. We have a storage room.” He motioned you to follow him as he turned the light on in the storage room, shutting the door behind him.

Yoongi didn’t look at you, “Look, Y/N. You don’t have to explain anything, it was delusional of me to think that we had something-“

“No-“

“No, it’s okay.” He rambled, looking away from you, “I knew it was risky move and I just wanted to give it a shot. Like I understand, our pizza is pretty good and I give some coupons and like as college students that’s like a lifeline so don’t worry-“

“Yoongi-“

“I won’t bother you anymore, don’t worry. We can assign a delivery man for your neighborhood, please don’t feel bad. Rejecting me is okay, I just wanted to give a shot-“

Being fed up with his rambling, you rose onto your toes and pressed a kiss against his cheek, immediately shutting him up. You stepped back to get a better look at his shocked face, “My answer was- is going to be yes.” You said, “You didn’t even give me a chance to respond.”

“What?”

“The pizza. I want to be your girlfriend.” You smiled, suddenly feeling a surge of confidence, “No take-backs.”

“A-are you serious?” Yoongi asked.

“Of course.” You slipped your palms into his that were on his sides, “I like you, my pizza guy. I like you, Yoongi.”

Yoongi’s lips spread into the gummy smile you had adored so much, the sight of his smile immediately making you mirror your own back to him. His eyes darted down to your lips before he looked back to you, you nodded. His smile widened before you pressed his lips against yours. He kissed you softly, you grabbed his apron pulling him impossibly closer. You felt your back hit against one of the cabinets as he continued to kiss you, you felt him smile against your lips, you smiled back.

He broke the kiss before looking into your eyes again, laying his forehead against his as he squeezed your hand lightly and reached up with his other hand to caress your cheek lightly, “I like you too.”

You snorted, “After that kiss I was hoping you do too.”

Yoongi rolled his eyes, tapping your nose, “Smartass.”

You smiled tapping his nose, “Dumbass.”

Yoongi’s lips curled inwards, “Am not.”

“You haven’t even asked me yet.” You said as you fixed his dark bangs.

“I did, with the pizza.”

You snorted, “Yeah and then you ran away.”

“Still counts.” He insisted, making your roll your eyes. He shook his head with a laugh, “Will you be my girlfriend, Y/N?”

“Well not after you made me wait that long.” You teased.

“Yah-“

You pressed a kiss to his lips, “Of course, I’ll be your girlfriend.” He smiled, “Afterall, who’s gonna deliver my pizza if I’m not?”

Steve’s POV

“Come on guys, you’ve done two rotations at the house,” Tony whined through the bluetooth speakers, “either you aren’t choosing the right girls, or you are too picky. Let some other guys have a turn.”

“One more shot, Tony,” I reminded him, “Strange found someone on his fourth attempt. You had Pepper on your third. Sometimes these things take time. You know that more than anyone.”

“You guys need to be smart about it,” Tony replied, “you guys abducted a bachelorette party.”

“How do you know that was us?”

“Five women from a strip club. The club that was two blocks away from where Sam was last tracked. Four blocks from the parking garage you guys were at,” Tony groaned as he seemed to be recounting the facts like he’d looked at it a hundred times before calling Steve, “are you telling me that another group of guys abducted some women right under your nose?  If so, maybe we need to look at you retiring, senior citizen.”

My sigh on the other end told him everything that he needed to know.

“Listen cap,” Tony said over the line, a slightly softer tone, “I know it’s frustrating. It can be really upsetting trying to find your girl. And you’re sharing the house with Buck and Sam. You guys must have totally different tastes in women.  You with your pin up girl from the good old days, Kujo with his chew toy, and Sam with a Southern belle. But if you don’t find someone soon, we’re gonna have to start trading some guys out. Banner, Loki, and Thor are all chomping at the bit for their turn.”

“Just tell them a little bit longer,” I pleaded as I looked out at the lake through the french doors.  My mind was working on a new plan, something that we could try to do in order to find our dream girls, “We’ll be careful with the next group.”

“Did any of the five make it through?”

“Sam seems kind of taken with this girl next door,” I said, trying to change the subject, “Quick. No wait time turn around. Her and two friends just showed up at the house for Christmas break.”

“Christmas break at a lake house?” he asked, “isn’t it a little early? It’s only November.”

“Yeah,” I nodded, leaning against the back of the couch to watch three women getting out of the car just across the lake, “Sam ran into her and her friends at the store in town. Said he thinks they’ll be perfect.”

“Well, if they aren’t, it’s game over for you guys until we get through the rotation again.”

“I know, Stark.”

“But that doesn’t answer my question,” he said after a second, “did any of the five girls make it through so I can send someone else up?”

“Rhodey found a girl,” I replied, not thinking much of it, “she made it to the main floor. He left this morning with her when Sam went into town. Buck’s taking care of the clean-up on the others in the woods. I cleaned up the basement.”

“Well one of you found someone,” he added in nervously, “I’ll see who I can send up with you guys.”

“Keep in mind,” I reminded him, “Bruce and Bucky don’t get along too great.”

“Bucky doesn’t get along with anyone that’s left too great.”

The front door slammed, and I turned from my spot on the back of the couch to see Bucky taking off his boots, “it’s done.”

“Sounds like someone’s in a chipper mood.”

“Stark,” Bucky growled, heading into the living room. He looked around, realizing that we were conversing across the speakers, and he rolled his eyes, “do you have to use technology for everything?”

“Part of your body is technology there, robocop,” Tony’s voice rang out, “I’d be careful about how you phrase things. Remember who deals with keeping up the security system for our little pet project.”

“You trying to give us some sort of threat there, iron face?”

“Buck, come on man,” I sighed, shaking my head at him, “He’s giving us another run, instead of the regular two tries.”

“Whatever,” he growled, walking up to the windows. His gaze found what I’d been looking at a few minutes’ prior, “I thought Tony said they don’t use the other houses until the summer?”

“Sam ran into them when they came to town,” I said dismissively, “three girls on Christmas break. Just arrived. Gonna do their spring semester online to get away from the city.”

“All three of them?”

“Yeah.”

Bucky hummed in approval and unzipped his leather jacket, throwing it on one of the chairs behind him, “think we should welcome them to the neighborhood the right way?”

“Sam wants to try them next.”

“Maybe,” he shrugged, “they’d be a good second option I guess...if Tony’s giving us more time we might as well double our efforts. You tell him Rhodey found someone from this group?”

“Yeah, he told me,” Tony said in an unimpressed voice, “listen guys. I’m not saying you must choose those girls, but you do have to start making decisions soon. People have noticed that Captain America hasn’t been going on any local missions. Steve, you must find someone to bring back…and soon. It’s really Bucky and Sam that have more time. You’re on the tail end of yours.”

“What if I did a mission?” I asked, “or two. Came back to the city. Suited up for some smaller things?”

“That could buy you some time,” he agreed after a pregnant pause, “but you’d need to make sure it’s something that people see you in.  Throw in some public appearances at some schools or some charity work.  People eat that up when they see you lending a hand.”

“Got anything local?”

“We always have something going on in the country,” he chuckled, “you know that, Cap.”

“Alright,” I nodded, “I can be back in the city later tonight.”

“Sounds good. I’ll see you then, Rogers.”

“Call disconnected,” F.R.I.D.A.Y announced, “do you need anything else, Captain Rogers?”

“Make sure the security is updated like Tony promised,” I began as I bit the inside of my cheek, “after the last girls damn near set the basement on fire, the last thing we need is security lacking down there.”

“Yes Captain Rogers.”

“I hate that stupid thing,” Bucky growled from his spot at the window, “you guys rely on it too much.”

“Staring at the new girls there, Buck?” I chuckled, clapping him on the shoulder, “find one that finally caught your interests?”

“No,” he lied, shaking his head. I smirked at the fact that he had lied. Trying to follow his gaze, I saw that he had settled on the second floor of the house. A room where a very large bay window was angled towards the house. He was straining from his position to see it. I smirked and hit him on the shoulder, running up to the third floor where the watch room was. Bucky followed me up, “what the hell, punk?”

“Got ya a better line of sight,” I smirked, nodding my head down to the bay window. Our window gave us the perfect angle down into the room. A girl had her bags thrown beside the bed and was relaxing on it, book in hand. She was wearing a crop top that stopped right below perky breasts. The sleeves went over her hands, but manicured nails peered out from beneath the hem of the sleeve. The strings of the top draped lazily on a toned stomach. Short cotton shorts that had been rolled up a few times rested low on her hips and showed off toned legs. As she rolled over so that she was stomach side down on the bed I could see the curve of her ass just peeking out from the bottom of her shorts. I felt my own arousal growing, “sure you aren’t interested, punk? Cuz if you aren’t, I’m calling that one right now?”

My best friend looked at me, an anger in his eyes and I smirked even more. He breathed heavily through his nostrils and tried shrugging it off, “we aren’t taking them. Too close...anyways she’s dressed too skimpy.  Probably a loose dame.   You want her, you can have her.”

“Oh, come on,” I laughed, nudging him, “I saw the way she was dressed when they arrived. She changed her clothes.  She doesn’t expect some perv to be staring at her through a window.”

He turned and glared at me, “don’t you have to pack to get ready for a mission?”

“Later tonight,” I shrugged, heading towards the steps, “I’m thinking we should welcome them to the neighborhood before I do.”

I was halfway down the steps before Bucky finally began his descent, “Shut up.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“I can see the look on your face,” he growled as he shot me a glare, “I know what you’re gonna say, Steve. Just don’t.”

“Just answer one question?” I asked with a smirk.  Bucky shrugged and my smirk grew, “when you were straining against the window while I was talking to Tony, were you watching her change, Buck?” 

Mira’s POV

“Mir,” one of my best friends called from the main floor. I looked away from my book and waited for her request, “MIRA!”

“What is it, Ken?”

“Wrong one,” Brittany said, walking by my room, “why do you always do that?”

“Shit.”

“Really?” the blonde asked, posting herself in front of my door frame, “we’ve known each other since we were little, and you still mistake me for my twin?”

“Sorry Danielle,” I sighed, putting my book down, “I honestly don’t know why I do that.”

She rolled her eyes, “it’s whatever. I know you like Kenzie better because she’s nerdy like you or whatever but come on. This is a bonding experience, remember? The three co-captains of the squad have to get together and come up with the next routine for our competitions in March. The rest of the girls are expecting us to deliver, so we can’t waste any time.”

“Didn’t you let Brittany waste an hour flirting with that guy in the store in town?” I asked, feeling like she was being judgmental towards me for not wanting to come up here, “I just want a day or two to unwind and relax. Then we can get cheer crazy until Christmas for all I care! I mean it’s only the beginning of November.”

“A day or two actually sounds pretty nice,” Brittany added in as she stopped by my room, “I mean Sam, that super cute guy that I was talking to said that he and his buddies were staying at their friends place across the lake. There’s two of them. I could see if Sam wanted to come over with his friends tonight...and you know if they’re cute-“

“Oh my god, you slut,” Danielle laughed, playfully shoving Brittany as she’d started making a gesture like she was blowing something, “I love it. You think his friends are hot?”

“I mean he is...” she said quickly, “I don’t know too many hot guys that waste their time being friends with ugly little trolls.”

My eyes went wide and I gasped, “Brittany!”

“What?” she asked defensively, “tell me I’m wrong...and anyways I think he said he’s a superhero...like one of the Avengers.”

“Come on that’s like the worst pickup line ever!”

“Danielle, didn’t you say that Tony Stark owns one of these lake houses?” she asked, “is it so hard to think that the avengers need some time away from saving the world? Maybe they take turns taking time off.”

“That sounds made up,” I laughed, “are you lying to try and get me to agree to this Brittany?”

“She’s not,” Danielle added, in, “and anyways, maybe that’s not such a bad idea. Some cute guys. Maybe they bring over booze assuming we’re a little bit older than 21...maybe we get the nerdy little virgin here onto some superhero cock.”

“Listen, we all know that Kenzie and Jade both have crushes on those guys but that doesn’t extend to me,” I laughed, looking at Danielle, “I don’t have that fascination with them.”

“You mean to tell me that you wouldn’t go all nerdy hearts over Iron Man or Hulk?”

“First off, I’m pretty sure Iron Man has been married and has a kid,” I said awkwardly, trying to not delve deeper into the conversation, “and the incredible hulk? Did you purposefully pick the one person who I’m pretty sure would split me in half?”

“Ahh,” Brittany laughed, shoving me, “so it’s the big green guy’s dick you’ve thought about riding!”

“Oh my god,” I groaned, leaning back onto the bed, “I have not thought about that.”

“Whatever you say…but if you really want, they have sex toys based around them…you could try the toy before you try the real thing,” Danielle laughed, playfully slapping my thigh. Downstairs the doorbell rang, “Oh I think that’s the pizza. Go get it green gobbler.”

“I hate you guys,” I groaned, getting up so that I could get the door, “how much is it anyways?”

“I don’t know,” Brittany giggled from upstairs, “didn’t ask.”

“Money is on the counter,” Danielle giggled, “You know. It’s the green stuff.  You like green things, right?”

I sighed to myself as they continued to make comments about me wanting to lose my virginity to Dr. Banner.

“Wait, don’t you have an internship coming up with him this summer for your nerdy science stuff?” Danielle accused, coming out of my room and up to the railing, “OH MY GOD! You’re going to nail the Hulk, aren’t you?”

“You guys are so childish,” I groaned, already over their antics. I padded to the door, and I could hear them catcalling and fake moaning behind me from the banister.

“Dr. Hulk,” one of them fake moaned, “take me now!”

“Take me on the lab table!”

“Beakers and science stuff!”

I turned to look at the two girls I’d been forced to go on the trip with, “I so can’t wait until Jade, Kenzie, and Cassie show up.”

“Why so you can talk about all the dirty things you wanna do with the hulk to them?”

“How do you know I wouldn’t have a thing for Captain America?” I questioned, “or Antman? Or Thor? Or Winter Soldier?”

“If you like any of those ancient bastards it better be Captain America,” Danielle giggled from the top of the stairs, right as I opened the door. And in that moment my face lost all color, “I bet a super soldier like him is enhanced in all the right ways! I bet you’d let him pop your cherry!”

“Hey, do you think the hulks jizz is green too?” Brittany asked, skipping down the stairs, “why are you looking like you saw a ghost, Miracle?”

“Uh is this a bad time?”

I looked in horror and shock as The Falcon, Captain America, and The Winter Soldier stood before me.

“Gentlemen!”

“We uh wanted to welcome you to the lake,” Captain America said slowly, eyeing me up and down. It was then that I remembered my cropped top and super short shorts. I instinctively put one arm over my breasts, and another over my midriff. Cap seemed to catch on and took a deep breath, looking away, “my apologies.”

“I’m just-“ I began, shuffling away from the door. Brittany immediately went to the open door and her eyes went wide as she practically launched herself at The Falcon.

“SAM!”

I could hear excited chatter as I ran up the stairs and passed Danielle.

“Oh my god, why are you running like that?” she asked, following me into the room.

“Three superheroes, outside our door,” I said quickly, closing the door, “Captain America stared me down like I was some slut when he saw me like this! Oh my god, Dani. I’m never gonna be able to face them now!”

“Wait, like a slut he wanted to bend over the couch or like one he’s putting in jail because she tried to solicit him?”

“DANI!”

“I’m just trying to make light of the situation,” she laughed awkwardly. Her hands brushed through her hair as she looked at the full-length mirror on the closet door, “come on. I’m sure they won’t think anything of it. It’s not like you knew they were coming over. Plus, he’s like super old, isn’t he? From the early 1900’s or something. He’s probably not used to women showing their bodies.”

“Are you checking yourself out?” I asked as I threw baggy sweats on and an actual hoodie, “really?”

“Hey, the guy may be over 100 years old, but he looks pretty hot from the pictures and tv coverage. I’d bang the hell out of him.”

“That’s not saying much.”

“Maybe you should lower your standards there, princess,” she winked. She sent me a small look before shaking her head, “you know you’re definitely not going to bag a superhero looking like that...could you at least put on some makeup?”

“Good,” I groaned, “I’m not trying to bag anything.”

“Shame,” she smirked, throwing the door open, “judging from your reaction to how they looked at you, it actually could be a chance that one of em could pop your cherry.”

Demigod MC Series: Hades

Demigod MC Series: Intro, Aphrodite, Hermes, Hades

Lucifer

Well… this is awkward…

He’s actually met Hades multiple times for business reasons (Underworld-Devildom relations are amiable if not a little odd. Hades was something of an uncle figure to Diavolo as a wee demon lad, which should speak for itself really). He’s a gloomy fellow and not much for chit-chat, but he never thought they’d end up taking one of his kids by accident…

He had to send a formal apology letter to the Lord of the Underworld immediately, but thankfully he didn’t seem very concerned for his offspring - if anything he appeared to think the Devildom would suit them nicely which was… concerning.

And he was not wrong. The darkness, demons, ghouls, and frights of the Devildom hardly seemed to faze the MC, if anything they fit right in. He’d dare say they were thriving if not for one thing…

They were So. Damn. Bleak.

Getting a smile out of this one AT ALL was rare. For once he felt the need to check up on someone constantly just to be sure they were alright... They’d keep assuring the House that they’re not actually as sad as they look but it’s hard not to assume…

He was a little mortified at first when they first met Cerberus cause… well they called him “Cerbi” and the massive demonic guard dog rolled over for them like a Golden Retriever! 

Apparently he and the Cerberus that they knew are from the same litter and they must have smelt familiar... He would have probably limited their interactions just to keep his dog on his side but after seeing the MC smile for once while they played with the big oaf well…

Cerberus got a new playmate and the MC got a massive, three-headed therapy animal. Win-win. 😌

Mammon

Do ya really gotta be such a downer all the time, MC…? 😔

He thinks they’re nice, like really nice. They’re always super concerned when his brothers attack him or when he gets injured, but he’s pretty sure it’s because they’ve seen people die before so…

At first, he had no idea why he had to be saddled with this depressing wisp of mortal but over time he started to understand that they weren’t all that sad. They had… Resting Gloom Face? Is that a thing? 

They also had a different way of seeing things. He could win the lottery and they’d tell him to stay inside so he wouldn’t get hit by lightning or if he pissed off the wrong people, they’d joke about him keeping his fingers and toes. Dark stuff, but not intended to be so… well morbid.

However, what he eventually found out that the REAL advantage to having a Hades kid in the Devildom was that nothing scared them. Literally nothing. Not even the ghosts - which to reiterate, are terrifying!

Cue Mammon getting dragged to horror movies nights with his brothers and pulling the MC along to be his personal security blanket. He’ll hold onto them for dear life as they just pat his head or something, watching and not even flinching at the jumpscares.

The first time the House had an unexpected power outage he clung onto the back of their shirt like a lost child while they calmly looked for the circuit-breaker...

If he could jump into their arms every time something scary happened like Scooby-Doo, he absolutely would. His brothers make fun of him, but after seeing the MC handle Cerberus like a puppy any time something frightens them they hide behind the mortal as well…

Leviathan

In some ways, he totally relates to their moodiness but come on! Who can still look so sad when watching The Magical Ruri Hanai: Demon Girl?? Ruri-chan can make anyone smile! 😠

When he first met the MC, he was a little confused about why they didn't find him intimidating at all. He even reverted to his demon form and showed his fangs but no dice! All they said was, "I've walked along the edge of Tartarus. You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that, buddy…" 

That was probably his first sign that the "human" wasn't normal…

After Mammon told him who their Dad was, things made a lot more sense. A child of Hades in the Devildom? That's ironic enough to be its own anime plot!! They certainly felt like an angsty protagonist at times. 🤷‍♀️

Truth be told, they could relate to each other in a lot of ways. You wouldn't think that an offspring of the Underworld and a demonic shut-in would have much in common but the one thing they share between them is that sense of never really fitting in.

Turns out that Hades kids are black sheep, even among other demigods, and Levi? Well, he's had trouble relating to others since his angel days. He and the mortal were like off-beat kindred spirits!

Which, I mean, you wouldn't get just by looking at them together. Levi being the impassioned super-otaku rambling their ear off while his somber companion would just go along with him quietly, but hey, there's more beneath the surface. Probably. 

Now if he could just get them to cosplay as the Lord of Emptiness with him… They'd be perfect! Perfect he says!!

Satan

Highly considered drugging their food with antidepressants for a while… 

This was before getting to know them better, of course, but for the first couple months he honestly couldn't shake the feeling that the mortal looked miserable! 

Now, he's one to particularly care for the comfort of strangers, but just looking at them like that every day would sour his own mood quite considerably. It was very irritating...

It was only on closer inspection that he realized there was something else at play, though.

The mortal was different - even for a demigod he imagined. They took to the Devildom easily and the realm almost accepted them right back!

The flora looked better in their presence, the hellish beasts that roamed the wilds would roll over for them, and they even seemed to be welcomed in by the never-ending shadows… 

It was fascinating. Like the effects of the Underworld were baked into their DNA and mingled with the environment around them… Two layers of darkness coexisting within one person.

I mean, what other creature - other than Lucifer - could ride Cerberus around like a pony??

Had they not been so kind, they'd probably scare him shit-less... Their potential power was too great to ignore. But after getting used to their gloom, at least they made for pleasant company. 🤷‍♀️

Satan likes them well enough, but even still he has to wonder just what they were capable of… you know?

Asmodeus

Oh. My. WORD. What a buzzkill!!!

Really, the new mortal was no good at parties or pictures for that matter!

Not because they looked bad, or even because he couldn't get them to smile, but because GHOSTS would always photobomb any pictures they were in!! 😫

One time he got a selfie with them on the couch and a creepy ghost child could be seen hiding behind the cushions so NOPE. No more photos with the mortal around!!

Aside from that, he couldn't say the mortal was all bad or anything…They were pretty friendly, despite their general look and feel. 

Though, personally, he thought they wore far too much black... Even in the Devildom, there's normally a pop of color, you know? Was that just the Hades dress code?

And you want to know the weirdest thing? Despite everything about them screaming "Doom and Gloom," they're straaaangely popular among the RAD dating scene…

Like. Not as some heartthrob, "Love'em and Leave'em"-type, but he's found that there's a LOT of his demonic classmates who think they're cute or have a crush on them in some way…

Naturally, he can see the appeal of the mysterious, moody demigod with a dark, troubled past. It's just the demigod in question is completely oblivious to it! 🤷‍♀️

He tried to give them dating tips or play matchmaker from time to time but eventually gave up when it was clear they weren't interested. Alas, students of RAD, this is one forbidden fruit that refuses to be shared…! Such a tragedy… 😔

Beelzebub

They remind him of Belphie… like. A lot.

The similarities were obvious. They had a similar feel, made similar jokes, and even the same somewhat dreary attitude about them...

If he were being honest, at the beginning there were times when he'd open up to them a lot more than he intended because he'd forget that he wasn't actually talking to Belphie…

Thankfully, he knew better than to try and treat them like his replacement or anything. They were two different people after all. But it didn't stop him from feeling extra protective around them for a while.

Besides, there was ONE thing that set them leagues apart from Belphie and that was the fact they were a shit cook. Not quite as bad as Solomon but uh… Actually no, that's a closer call than it has any right to be...

Apparently, Hades kids don't need to eat as much and when you hang out with shades and skeletons for most of your life, you don’t really worry about making food that's any better than… "Well, technically it's edible." 🤷‍♀️

Their food won't kill a person like Solomon's, but you WILL start seeing stuff you probably shouldn't. He tried their "soup" once and swore he saw the ghost of his mother… and he doesn't even have a mother!!!

He swears that if he ever sees the MC and Solomon working together in the same kitchen he's skipping town… Whatever culinary abomination the two of them could create would probably gain sentience and eat HIM instead. He's always figured he'd go out with Death by Food, but not like that!! 😫

Belphegor

Ever meet someone who’s like looking in a mirror? Yeah, he’s getting those vibes…

He never expected the "human" to be so similar to him, it was kind of uncanny.

Upon first laying eyes on each other there was a pause… then a squint… and then… a nod.

Honestly, their combined dry wit, dark humor, and pessimistic outlook played off of each other surprisingly well. Too well for him to hate, really.

Not that it mattered because they didn’t believe him for a second when he tried to trick them (they had dealt with loads of lying monsters before). He hated to admit it, but they had a good head on their shoulders and knew better than to trust a locked up demon…

And yet, they seemed to stick around with him anyway. Because of the good conversation or just empathizing with his loneliness was anyone's guess. 🤷‍♀️

Sometimes they'd come up and sit outside the door in comfortable silence… Or they'd talk about whatever:

MC: *sitting out by the attic with their back against the door* So what happens to demons when they die…?

Belphie: *laying on the floor on the other side, staring at the ceiling* Depends on the kind. If I die, I'll just reform later.

MC: Like a reincarnation?

Belphie: Eh. *shrugs* Maybe. Haven't died yet.

MC: You could die in there, you know.

Belphie: *throws a side glare* Well thanks for bringing that up…

MC: *shrugs* What? It's true. But don't worry, I won't let you. *small-ish smile*

Belphie: *stares at them wide-eyed and pink-cheeked before turning on his side quickly* Ugh… whatever…

They did their word, somehow. They eventually got the door open and let him out, but by that time the anger was gone and he was just happy to finally talk to them face-to-face...

And good thing too, because apparently it's not smart to fight a death-child in what is essentially their element - as he saw when they summoned an army of skeletons to kick Levi's ass when he cheated them in Devil Cart...

He would not have lasted in that fight... Dodged a bullet there.

Hot Days

Roy Harper x reader

It’s June in Texas and my ac went out and the apartment is based on a place I used to live.

Warning: smut, oh god they were roommates.

Roy was trying to be a good man. He really was. But goddamn if you didn’t make it hard. He tried everything to not think about you. You were his roommate.

Roy hated using Oliver’s money. So he didn’t. He had a complicated relationship with his mentor but that meant that Roy didn’t have a ton of funds. So that’s how he ended up in frankly the smallest 2 bedroom apartment he’d ever seen.

There was one sink with a wooden panel divider that separated the sink from the shower and toilet room. This made interesting bathroom privacy. He had a window in his bedroom that was so close to the next building, Roy could probably touch it. And the tiny iron elevator that creaked left much to be desired when Roy moved in.

He had picked the place online and knew that he had a roommate with perfect rent paying history and that’s all Roy cared about. But when he carried in his mattress to be introduced to you, he was smitten.

You were a nice roommate, quiet, clean, paid your bills. But Roy couldn’t keep his mind off of you. The way you looked when you had ran up the stairs, when you offered him tea every time you made it, when you did yoga in the living room. He had gone to his room for some ‘alone time’ when you came in with a soaked white t shirt in a sudden spring rain storm. His thoughts about your hard nipples visible through the see through material as he fisted his cock.

Why didn’t Roy try anything with you? He was popular with women. But Roy was trying to be a good person. He wanted to live somewhere for more than a few months, pay his bills, and then find a better place when he saved up a little money for him and Lian.

Lian would stay over often. You usually tried to stay out of their way when she was over. She slept in Roy’s room. But you loved her. She was a sweetheart with a good right hook and the most precocious 5 year old you’d ever met. And so you would rarely join them in a movie night.

And when Lian wasn’t there, Roy stayed busy. He was always working on something if he was home at all. Soldering irons were commonly used on different kinds of small devices he worked on. Roy was a tough guy. You’d seen him with plenty black eyes and busted lips. You’d just assumed he was a hothead in Gotham.

You’d also seen him in some of the most compromising positions. On your couch with his hand in his pants, with a woman on her knees in the shower, and more than countable times with someone in his bed. He had a healthy sex life. You couldn’t blame him. He was hot. You couldn’t even blame him for getting caught.

Roy had caught you, or more heard, you in the shower with your vibrator more than once. He’d laugh and tell you to “have fun” or “get another one for me.” You’d considered more than once of offering for him to join you but you never did. A good roommate that paid their bills and weren’t creepy were worth their weight in gold. Everything was great.

And then June hit and the raining stopped and sun came out and it got hot. You could see the heat off the pavement. And your poor little air conditioner went out. On a Friday. And your landlord apologized but said that Monday OR Tuesday was the earliest someone would come fix it.

“Tuesday? I’m supposed to have Lian all weekend and it’s 84 in here,” Roy said with a groan. “I’ll have to cancel because she’ll be miserable,” he said with a sigh.

“Yep, we’ll be miserable all right. I feel like I’m going to melt right now,” you said sitting in front of a fan.

Roy spent the next 2 hours looking and messing with the air conditioner before conceding defeat. There was a part that needed to be replaced by an AC specialist. And so you both sweat and tried to ignore the heat for 3 hours. And it worked. For a while.

“God it’s hot,” you said. “Sorry to be a bad roommate but my room is even worse and I have to,” you said before unstrapping your bra and tossing it in your room. Roy gulped and stared at the tv but his attention was definitely on your breasts and how nice they looked in your tank top.

“You don’t have to wear a bra for me, sweetheart,” Roy says. You gave him a side eye.

“Eyes are up here, Harper,” you said before the doorbell buzzed. “That’s pizza!” You hurried to the door and opened it to a pizza boy holding 3 boxes.

“Hiyah,” he said staring at your breasts obviously. Roy stood behind you with his arms crossed intimidatingly and cleared his throat. “Sorry! Sorry. Uh... that’ll be $23.46,” the kid said with wide eyes. You paid him and he hurried to leave.

“Protecting my honor? Not really your thing,” you commented grabbing a plate.

“Teaching the kid some manners.” Roy leaned against the counter with a slice in hand.

“Really? You don’t have much room to talk,” you said dryly fanning yourself with some paper napkins.

“I do,” he protested.

“Really?” You said and you did a little jump and Roy’s eyes couldn’t leave your chest.

“Okay, that’s not fair. Of course I gotta look when they’re bouncing all perfect,” Roy said.

“Failed,” you teased. Roy scoffed.

“So serious question, why don’t you ever bring anyone back here?” Roy asked. “Cuz I mean you’re hot and you clearly like orgasms.”

“Wow, this place is definitely too small to be private,” you said flushing. “You should not know that.”

“I pretty much know every time you pull out little Dickie and go to town,” he confirmed and you sputtered a little. “But you also know everything I do so... why don’t you bring anyone home?”

“Besides the fact that I have an attractive male roommate that likes to scare guys off?” You offered.

“Yeah.”

“I’m boring. I work a lot and don’t have time to meet guys at the club or whatever and online dating in Gotham seems like a good way to die,” you said with a shrug. You held your coke can to your face and closed your eyes.

“Okay valid,” Roy conceded. His eyes tracked the way you slid the can across your cheek and down your throat leaving a wet trail. You glistened with sweat and honestly he was having a hard time not staring.

“I’m going to climb in the fridge. Just gently shut the door behind me,” you joked and Roy’s mind flashed to how unfunny this joke would be around a certain Titan friend.

“I’ll join you,” he said taking a huge gulp from a water bottle. Was possible to die from sweating?? Or thirst?

You opened the freezer and held your face in the door before grabbing an ice cube. You pressed it to your cheek and across your forehead. Now maybe Roy was just horny but he could have sworn the way you ran it across your neck and collar was purposefully sexy. Roy couldn’t help but track the movement. Fuck that was hot. You took the cube in your lips and sucked the water off.

Roy had it. He couldn’t handle it anymore. He walked over to you and cupped your face in his hands. “I hope you don’t mind,” he said before kissing your lips.

They were slightly cold from the ice cube that was melting in your mouth. You gasped and Roy slipped his tongue in to move the cube in your mouth. It was a sensation you had never had before, an icy cube and hot tongue moving at the same time. You whimpered at the sensation.

Roy wrapped his arms around your back and pulled you closer. Your hands rested on his chest. How was he this fit? Fuck his chest was like a rock, you noted as you ran your hands across his pecs. Roy finally pulled back to rest his forehead against yours when his lungs felt like they were going to explode.

“I really hope you don’t mind,” he mumbled with his eyes closed. If he didn’t open his eyes, then you hadn’t told him no yet.

“I far from mind,” you said taking a finger and pulling his chin up to kiss you again. “Really don’t mind,” you said between kisses, pulling him to your room. You let Roy push you on the mattress and crawl over you. His lips found your throat and Roy kissed down the glistening skin that he had been admiring for so long. His hands cupped your breasts and he rubbed your nipples through your thin tank top.

You pulled at his t shirt and Roy sat back on his knees to pull it off. You pulled your shirt off too and Roy groaned at the sight. “Fuck doll, your tits,” he said before making it his mission to touch every spot with his tongue.

“Fuck! Roy!” You gasped grasping his back as he took a nipple in his mouth and giving it a vicious suck. You arched into his touch and Roy loved the way you writhed beneath him before he had even touched between your legs. His hand moved down to cup your pussy just as you tried to take off his belt.

“You got a condom in here, Princess?” He asked.

“Uh, top drawer,” you said and he got up to find them. You pulled off the rest of your clothes.

“Found Dickie,” he said waving your vibrator around. “Cute. Maybe next time,” Roy winked. You rolled your eyes. He walked to you as he kicked off his pants and when he went to pull off his boxers you sat up and stopped him. “If you don’t want to-“

“I want to,” you said. “But I want to take it off.”

Roy hummed approval as you cupped his very erect cock through his pants. He playfully bent and ran his fingers through your folds. “Fuck babydoll, you’re practically drippin.”

“Roy,” you whined and he laughed before inhaling quickly as you pushed his boxers down and wrapped your fingers around him. You stroked him a few times before putting the condom on.

“Lay back,” he said with a wink. “And I’ll make you feel good.”

You wrapped your legs around his hips and pulled him close. The head of his cock pressed against your entrance. Roy kissed you once before pushing in. You arched into his touch. He sat for a second to enjoy just how tight you gripped him.

“Fucking move,” you breathed and he chuckled before roughly thrusting. “Yes,” you said roughly. Roy sat a rough pace and enjoyed the show of you moaning and writhing beneath him.

Roy pushed one of your knees up to your chest and you threw your head back with your mouth making a cute little silent o shape. He could watch this all day. “Right there,” you whined.

“Fuck, really? It’s been that long hu?” He teased.

“Shut the fuck up, Harper,” you said but the way you were gripping the sheets and leaning into his touch said otherwise. Roy gripped one of your tits and you made a strangled cry before clenching around him. He grinned and watched you come apart. It was rare for him to be able to enjoy his partner’s orgasm without his own close behind it. Roy slowed down as you came down from your high.

“Baby, if I knew you needed it that bad,” he cooed and you smacked his shoulder. “Can I give you another one?” Roy pressed the other leg up to where you felt incredibly exposed but the places he was hitting had you not caring in the least. Your thighs shook after a while and Roy really hoped that meant you were close. You grabbed your own tits and leaned your head back. Roy groaned as you clenched around him. This time you whimpered out his name on repeat as you came. Roy let go almost immediately and filled the condom. His thrusts were rough and deep and he groaned. He laid on you and gave you a sloppy kiss before pulling out to throw away the condom.

Roy came back in the bed and kissed you again before maneuvering you on his chest. You both were disgusting and covered in sweat in the insanely hot room. It was probably 90 in the damn thing.

“I should have done that ages ago,” Roy muttered. You slapped his pec and he jumped. “Hey, I’m just saying. You’re dynamite in the sack, babe.”

“God, you’d be a 10 if you’d just shut up, Harper,” you said with an eye roll before closing your eyes. 2 orgasms made you sleep, what can you say? He laughed.

“I’ll remember that next time.”

“Next time?” You asked looking at him with one eye open.

“Sure,” he said. “Unless ol’ Dickie really does it for yah. But I get the feeling he just doesn’t cut it.”

“Shhh,” you said putting your hand over his mouth. “Don’t ruin it with your mouth.”

“You could always put my mouth to work,” he said lewdly.

“Don’t tempt me. Don’t tempt me.”
