Exactly how much of a bank did Bruce buy at the end of dawn of justice?
Did he buy the single Smallive town bank?
Did he buy one location out of a chain?
Did he buy the whole chain?
Did he bury Martha’s signal loan forgiveness deep in the papers of the bank “misplaced” in the takeover?
Did he bury it by forgiving multiple loans with the same criteria?
Did he forgive every bankruptcy?
Did he just say “congratulations, no more mortgage for you” to everyone?
Exactly how many lives where changed because of Bruce’s “my bad, pls like me” gift

Drunken Dancing Atsushi Sendo
Tumblr media
Akkun loved to make you happy. Nothing lit up his nerves more than when you would smile that huge smile and laugh because you were awkward when people did anything for you. Apology flowers always getting met with light giggles and waving it off, saying "It's okay, Atsu, really." He would buy you things he knew you liked and set them in the open for you to find while he was at work waiting for the picture you'd undoubtably send as soon as you spotted it.
Going to a nightclub, you once told him, was on your bucket list. You had never been and wanted to experience it in full force. For your safety and bank account, Akkun took you to one of the clubs he owned. Who didn't like free drinks and the rights to say "my boyfriend owns the club." Shame was something Akkun stopped feeling years ago so he didn't mind when you would drunkenly pull on his belt, giggling and teasing him, trying to entice him onto the dance floor. "I'm not a dancer, babe, you go have fun." Akkun smiled and nudged you away as he reached for his non-alcoholic drink. Someone had to drive you home.
Multiple men had watched you and the group of girls you'd molded to, a few speaking lewdly and making Akkun kick them out. He didn't care about any damn reviews as long as you could party without being ogled by morons with shriveled balls.
The blame was really on him, and Akkun knew that. Letting you leave the house in that low cut, shorty dress that hugged you far too perfectly was the worst idea he ever had. Not only was he going feral, despite having already taken you in one of the back rooms, but a few of the men on the dancefloor were getting too close to you. Thankfully, two of the girls in your group were sober enough to push them away, keeping you drunker ladies safe from the unwanted harassment.
Like a ghost through a wall, one of the men had managed to get close to you. Anger swelled in Akkun's viens as the monster put a nasty paw on your waist. "Don't do that." Akkun hissed when he was close enough, his slender fingers grabbing the mans wrist and throwing his hand away from you and your velvety dress. "Yeah!" Your smile and giggles didn't help Akkun any, but it was cute, "My boyfriend will kick your ass!"
"Enough." Akkun mumbled and led you swiftly back to the bar with him, helping you onto a bar stool, "Just...sit here and enjoy your drink, okay?"
"Okay!"
How you always smiled was a mystery to Akkun. What was there to smile about at every second of the day? Whatever your reasoning was, he could only hope it was never taken from you.
"Hey, Atsu?" You set down your empty cup and leaned towards him, the smell of alcohol prominent on your breath. Did he make sure you'd eaten plenty before leaving? He rested a hand on your exposed knee, pulling lightly on the bottom of your dress to cover you more, "What is it, babe?" He was bored and the silent way you watched his hand was a little annoying, but he couldn't really blame you. Alcohol was making you slower, less aware of what you were doing, Akkun just had to remind himself to speak gently. "Will you dance with me?" he'd be lying if he pretended your question hadn't caught him sideways. It was more than common knowledge to you that Akkun had two left feet, seeing as it was your feet he stepped on and tripped over. More than once he'd tried to move all the furniture to give you both enough room, but you both still ended up on the floor.
"You know I don't dance." Akkun mumbled as he sipped his drink. Your pout would be the end of him, and the sweet way you rubbed his wrist to get what you wanted. "But, Atsushi, I wanna have a good time with you." Whiny, you were so whiney when you were drunk. Whiny, demanding, and touchy. Not that he minded the affection, Akkun always gave in to you and spoiled you with whatever you wanted. That's the only reason he once again found himself at home, pushing the couch back and tucking the coffee table out of the way.
It had been nearly an hour since you finished your last drink, but you were still fairly inebriated, giggling quietly as Akkun dusted off his hands. "Something funny?" He couldn't help but smile at you, a hand raised to beckon you to him.
"Mhm. It's really nice to watch you move things. I like seeing how strong you are." He caught you as you stumbled forward. "If that's the case," Akkun picked you up, resting his hands under your butt to keep you in his arms, "then let's dance like this, hm?"
Your weight was comfortable to hold for him, a nice change from the way you normally avoided letting him carry you about the house. Akkun smiled as you relaxed, finally just resting your head on his shoulder and letting him sway with you on his hips. Music from your playlist droned on sweetly as Akkun held you, and he could feel when you started humming along. "You're adorable when you're drunk." Akkun chuckled, "But I know you're gonna regret this is in the morning."
And he would take care of you, bring you a cup of water and some Tylenol. All while keeping you in bed and pampering you until you felt better.

Troy Otto x Alicia Clark s8 AU - Their story up to s8
Short recap: Troy finds Alicia almost dying after s7 and nurses her back to health.
THEY STAY TOGETHER because they are both alone. On their own. They’ve both lost their people. They stay together because of their shared memories of cherished people - not because they like one another. This, will come too, with time. But not yet. It’s not what keeps them together.
THE FIRST TIME Alicia wants to help people troy is all “lets go alicia” trying to get her away from them and shes all “no. they’re hurt. we’re helping them” and hes like “not a good idea. dont have the resources. dont know if they’re a danger” and she probably goes “Im not going” and hes like “thats ok ill carry you away” like thats the problem. and she goes “why are you like this. you helped me too” “yeah, i knew you. i dont know these people. lets go. now” (obviously they’re not going. Or well, Alicia tells him he can go if he likes, she’s staying. And grudgingly he stays too because he’s not about to leave her on her own with unfamiliar faces.)
THE NEXT FEW TIMES she does this, wanting to help people, they are constantly arguing about it. At some point Alicia probably even goes “it’s what mom would’ve wanted.” (She knows it’s complicated, Troy’s relationship with Madison but she kinda banks on the good parts winning out. him wanting to please her, still. Or at least that he’ll be turned soft because… it’s her mom’s wish (she does suspect about Troy having a soft spot for moms in general)). But he just goes “oh yeah? and where’s madison now, huh?” “youre such a dick you know that” “yeah, i know. lets go” (again, they are obviously not going)
AT SOME POINT Alicia notices that Troy is actually helping her even though his words are still unkind - he still insists on leaving the people behind. She notices there’s no bite in it, anymore. She humors him, replying in kind. He notices (was it the slight hesitation? Can he hear it in her tone? She’s not sure) and a grin splits his face. She decides she likes him like this.
THEY GROW COMFORTABLE around one another. In this way where they really know the other. They know what sets the other off, know how to get them through a rough patch, what makes them laugh. And they are there for one another (because for a while that is all they have). They become good friends – even though they still fight, too. Alicia hasn’t forgiven him for what he did back at the ranch (he didn’t apologize for it because he knows she wouldn’t buy it anyway) – but they did manage to move past it.
THERE’S LOVE THERE between them. Not romantic love but a deep platonic one. They have to rely on one another, they saved one another countless times when one of them was in a tight spot. They saw the other at their most vulnerable – they other has been there for their most vulnerable. How can there not be love? There’s such ease and trust between them. They might not love one another as a conventional romantic couple – but they *are* family.
THEY’RE AS INTIMATE as two people only can be, emotionally. And it spills over to the physical side. Alicia makes the first move. It starts out awkward but not for long; they *do* have chemistry. They both enjoy this new way of expressing themselves (of ending fights, too) quite a lot.
THEIR CHILD wasn’t planned. Neither one of them would consciously bring a child into this world (not with one another). When Alicia tells Troy he goes “oh shit” and laughs for five minutes straight (at himself for having forgotten about birth control. At the both of them. At the whole situation he couldn’t even have conceived while living on the ranch.). She does not share his amusement.
THEY DON’T CALL HER TRACY. Maybe Maddy though (and yes, that is her full name. Maddy Clark. Troy wasn’t happy about it, of course, but as it was important to Alicia he decided to concede that point. In fact, Alicia told him in no uncertain terms that when he was the one growing their child in his belly, would push it out of his vagina, he could also name it whatever he damn well pleased. He doubted this was true – though didn’t argue that point. Arguing with pregnant Alicia was a minefield not even he dared to brave (often)).
ALICIA STILL DIES like Serena did, while trying to help people. She was out alone because someone had to watch Maddy. (Troy *only once* suggested this is her job as the mom. It went over as well as you’d expect)
DISCOVERING MADISON IS ALIVE has Troy deciding he needs to have words with her. It was *her philosophy* after all that got his best friend killed. That cost Maddy her mom. Righteous fury burns in him.
HE ACTUALLY BURIED ALICIA unlike Serena in s8. But still plays mindgames with Madison and is cutting off walkers' arms (mostly because I think he was so funny for this)

Women's march

Harris and Walz shift the vibe!
August 19, 2024
Robert B. Hubbell
As we look ahead with hope and anticipation to the Democratic National Convention, the Harris-Walz campaign continues to surprise everyone with its effectiveness and nimbleness. On Sunday, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz took a bus tour through Pennsylvania—a complete “vibe-shift” from the enthusiastic crowds at packed stadiums that fueled the campaign over the last four weeks.
The bus tour was terrific! It highlighted Kamala and Tim in “normal” situations that voters can relate to—buying chips (Doritos) in a convenience store, talking to a high school football team, and chatting up the employees at a restaurant. Both joined a local field office’s phone-banking efforts! Kamala Harris even petted a firehouse dog after delivering pastries to the firefighters! (Can you imagine Trump petting a dog?)
There is no way in the world that Trump or JD Vance could have negotiated those situations with anything other than awkward stiffness as they pretended to know how to talk to everyday Americans in normal situations. Both Trump and JD Vance are stuck behind podiums with dwindling or non-existent crowds, while Kamala and Tim turned the “small group” interaction into a show of strength and normalcy.
That is a feat that Trump and Vance cannot replicate. The GOP nominees are comfortable among billionaires and sycophants but not among people who are feeling the pain of Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires, assault on personal liberties, and culture wars.
Harris also asked reporters questions at various stops on the tour. Those reporters—perhaps local reporters(?)—asked the Vice President substantive questions about her economic proposals released last week. No notes, no teleprompters, no “hand-picked” reporters who are afraid of Kamala Harris. Her answers were “okay” to “good”, but they were orders of magnitude better than Trump's meandering words-salads. She answered the questions head-on; not everyone accepted her responses, but that’s politics! Kamala Harris is speaking to voters, not to pundits.
While dwelling on Trump is becoming tedious, he made things worse for himself and JD Vance on Saturday with another unhinged speech that focused on pettiness, grievance, and hate. In the speech, he criticized Kamala Harris for her laugh, dating history, and “looks” before stooping to call her a “communist.” See Trump zigzags between economic remarks and personal insults at rally in critical Pennsylvania. In a sign of supreme insecurity, Trump repeatedly said that he was “better looking than Kamala.” Geez! What kind of person does that?
And then Trump proceeded to have an epic meltdown on social media on Sunday, posting at least fifty-two (52) times, with each post worse, more offensive, and delusional than the last. Trump posted fake “photos” of “Swifties for Trump”, and posted doctored photos of Kamala Harris holding a sign that said, “I am a moron.”
Below is one of Trump's most unhinged posts
Again, apologies for repeating Trump's post, but it is important to understand what the media is not reporting about Trump's descent into madness. At the very least, let your eyes graze over the Unabomber-esque quality of the prose:
We had to turn away lots of people yesterday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, but Comrade Kamala Harris’ Social Media Operation showed empty seats, long before the Rally started, early in the afternoon when, in actuality, we had to turn away 11,500 people! She’s a Crooked Radical Left Politician, and always will be! Everything she touches turns bad, just like California, and San Francisco before it - as is the case with all Marxists. She should have never been Vice President, and had to stage a COUP of Joe Biden, with her America-hating friends, Barrack Hussein Obama, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, and the rest. Comrade Kamala is a STONE COLD LOSER, she will FAIL and, if she doesn’t, our Country will cease to exist as we know it, turning into a Communist, Crime Ridden Garbage Dump.
As Trump is off message in the worst possible way, Democrats are heading into their convention more united than ever. Are there potential problems? Of course! Protests over Gaza will give the media a counter-narrative to dampen the enthusiasm that will greet President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, former presidents Obama and Clinton, Secretary of State Clinton, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff. Then, the main event will be Tim Walz and Kamala Harris.
The convention will be historic. It will serve three purposes:
It will lift and inspire a formerly weary base who can finally celebrate with a sense of confidence and optimism.
It will help unify Democratic messaging—finally!
It will extend the period of enthusiasm that has propelled the campaign thus far.
If the unprecedented enthusiasm continues into September or October, it will solidify the momentum that Kamala Harris is building among the electorate.
Joe Biden’s speech alone is reason enough to hold a convention that has already elected Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. It should be Biden’s finest hour in his half-century of public service.
I resolve to not allow the media’s desire to deflate Democratic enthusiasm to interfere with my enjoyment and appreciation of a historic moment.
And a special note to readers who will be attending the convention: I would love to hear from you about what it is like to be “in the room where it happens.” With your permission (and not for attribution), I will share comments with other newsletter readers who are not at the convention. Feel free to post in the Comment section or email me at [email protected].

Does This Look Inanimate To You? ❁ WSoH 4
As the hybrid flower in the restricted greenhouse gets bigger, Willow reaches out to the only person who knows the truth about her magic for help. Takes place on Oct 19th 1 // What Do You Want From Me, Blood? 2 // Someone Tell Lady Luck I’m Stuck Here 3 // Long As You Don’t Make A Habit Out Of It @blight-magic tw: mentions of blood ((we're so back baby~))
WILLOW
Willow was very aware that she was probably pushing her luck.
Aside from the first couple of rough confrontations when Willow first came to Swynlake, Amity had actually been pretty nice. They nodded at each other in the hallways of the dorm, and Willow had offered Amity some of the results of her baking experiments a couple of times. They weren’t nearly as close as they had been as children, but they were friendly.
(Willow had a variety of not-so-great feelings about how Amity only seemed to care about seeing Willow as a person again after they discovered she had magic after all, but Willow would die before confronting them.)
Willow was banking hard on that friendliness right now. After all, Amity was the only person in Swynlake who knew the full truth of who and what she was.
She knocked on the door that had Amity’s name on it, her stomach filled with rotterflies, and when it opened to reveal the familiar sorcerer, Willow just went for it.
“I need your help,” she said in a low voice, hands clasped together in front of her stomach. “There’s something happening at the Garden Grove and Flower isn’t there to help and you’re the only other person who knows. It’s really hard to explain, but if you come with me I can show you.”
AMITY 
Amity had no idea how to be Willow’s friend.
She wanted it. To be clear, she really, really, desperately wanted it, especially right now when it felt like she had no friend at all. She couldn’t talk to Riley anymore– things were too awkward and Amity was still hurt with how Riley had, in the end, not given a shit about her. And Mim was Riley’s roommate. This fact alone made Amity feel like the lines had been drawn and the sides had been picked. And so Amity was alone. She was trapped on an island of her own making. And she didn’t know how to escape from it.
She fantasized about an escape though. She thought about asking Willow if she wanted to get coffee or something, then chickened out. She thought about asking Willow to study with her, and she chickened out. She thought about showing up at Willow’s door and apologizing and begging for her to be her friend again, but– yeah. She chickened out.
Never had Amity ever fantasized that Willow would be the one who showed up at her door, looking desperate.
She blinked rapidly. “What?” she uttered. Then thought to herself: DUDE. Don’t blow this, what the hell?? “I mean, yeah, duh, totally, um– lemme just grab some abominations.” She twisted half-around and whistled. “Hey! Honey, wake up!” 
Squeaking erupted from the top of Amity’s desk as the little mouse-abomination came to life and scampered down. She scrambled up Amity’s jeans and perched on Amity’s shoulder. 
“Okay, cool, we can go.” 
WILLOW
Willow almost collapsed in relief when Amity agreed, instead just letting out the breath she didn't know she was holding and giving Amity a tiny, weary smile."Thank you so much," she said as Amity called for her abomination, an adorable little mouse. 
(If Willow was eight and still Amity's friend, she would have squealed in excitement at the sight of it, cooing at it and complimenting it while Amity giggled and tried not to look too proud.)
(Willow was not eight, so she just noted it and motioned for Amity to follow her.)
She waited until they were out of the dorms to start talking. "So, Flower has a couple of greenhouses behind the shop," she explained quietly. "One of them is just for the more… exotic magical plants we sell. Things you need a license to buy." Technically the Whisperers didn't, but Flower had stopped putting them on the main floor after it caused too many breakups.
"It's actually really interesting," Willow blurted out. "Some of them have variants back home, but they're tamer here." She hadn't been able to tell anyone about her observations yet, and so the chance to do so with the one person who understood was too good to pass up. "I managed to put them all to sleep before I left, so it's perfectly safe in there."
It probably would have been easier to get Amity first and put the flowers to "sleep" after, but the idea of Amity watching her sing lullabies to a bunch of flowers made Willow want to crawl out of her skin and die.
The last person aside from her dads to hear her sing was Skara, and… yeah. Willow didn't sing in front of people anymore.
AMITY 
Amity was gonna try really hard not to nerd out, since this whole thing seemed kind of serious and like she should focus– be the best Blight that she could. But she wanted to nerd out, as Willow started talking about the greenhouses. She had no idea there was something like that in Swynlake! If she’d known, maybe Amity would have actually gone to the Grove, because as it should, she never had. She wasn’t really the flower sort of girl, yanno? Especially since she’d grown up with vampire roses and snapping wolfsbane. She wanted her flowers with teeth. 
Still, Amity was good at hiding her thoughts. So although she wanted to say something like Titan’s breath, REALLY? That’s fire! She simply nodded, showing she was listening. 
She also wanted to say something like, I’m really glad you found a place for your magic. I bet you fit there nicely.
Or even, You sound like you’re enjoying it– the flowers. 
But she didn’t say those things either.
“So what’s going on then? They’re acting up or something?” she asked. 
WILLOW
Willow laughed nervously as they approached the Grove and Willow led Amity down the alleyway to the back. “Not… exactly? The regular flowers are fine.”
When they reached the smaller greenhouse, Willow quickly unlocked the door and ducked her head inside to make sure everything was still as she left it before stepping all the way in and waving Amity in. She walked to the back of the room, passing the raised beds full of ‘sleeping’ flowers that looked shockingly similar to what you would find in a garden back on the Isles. The vampire roses stirred at the smell of a new person, but Willow waved her hand over them without looking away from her goal and they curled back up with a quiet mental grumble.
“The problem is this,” Willow said, stopping in front of the raised bed against the back wall and gesturing to the flower that was rapidly taking over the entire bed.
The hybrid was about the size of a watermelon now, supported on all sides by a shrub of nearly-black leaves. Dark purple vines curled down to the floor, some with wicked-looking vines and some without. It was getting harder and harder to make out the pale Whisperers that had originally been in the bed, the hybrid quickly overtaking them.
When it heard Willow’s voice, the flower opened a little bit, revealing more layers of dark mauve petals. The vines began to move sluggishly, and Willow could feel it waking up.
“Willow?” it asked, using the sleepy, husky version of her own voice.
AMITY 
So…this was the coolest thing that Amity had ever seen.
When she’d entered the greenhouse, her jaw had dropped. Amity didn’t know much about the study of magical plants. Her path had always pointed her in other directions. To her, plant magic was as boring as potion magic. Too easy, certainly for a Blight.
But now Amity thought she ought to eat her words (or, let’s be honest, her parents’ words– they were the ones who disparaged about ninety percent of specialties). Because she’d never seen anything like the hybrid plant that unfurled and then spoke.
Titan’s liver. Was that like, a thing? Could plants talk? Were plants more sentient than she realized? Well, she knew about whisperers but this was…
This was next level. 
“That is… so sick,” said Amity, in awe. “What is it?” She glanced back at Willow. Her once friend had to know, right? “Is it supposed to sound like that?” 
WILLOW
Willow couldn’t help herself, she stood a little straighter and smiled a touch wider at Amity’s obvious awe. Willow had never done anything that had inspired awe before, and certainly never with magic. Even if it was the wrong kind of magic, and even if it hadn’t been entirely intentional, she had done something incredible.
The hybrid picked up on Willow’s good mood and unfurled a little quicker, giggling to itself in a younger Willow’s voice as a thornless vine reached out for Willow and wrapped around her fingers and wrist. “I’m not entirely sure,” Willow confessed, stroking her thumb along the dark vine. “I think it’s a hybrid between a Whisperer and a Vampire Rose,” she said. She pointed to the nearby bed of sleeping roses.
“And it doesn’t just sound like that,” Willow said, looking back at the hybrid with an indulgent smile. “Hi, darling,” she said gently. “Want to show Amity what you can do?”
“Yes!” the hybrid cheered happily, sounding almost exactly like a younger Amity. “Hello, dear!” it said, this time in Gilbert Park’s voice. “It’s nice to see you.”
AMITY: 
Again, Amity watched in awe, her mouth still slightly ajar. The plant reached for Willow like a child reaching for its parent. Instantly, she remembered the night that the demons descended. She remembered the tiny branch of mint in Willow’s hair. She remembered how it had gently stroked Willow’s forehead when she’d been upset.
This was not sorcery. This was not even close to the earth and plant magic that Amity was familiar with. In her mind, sorcerers commanded the elements. But fairy magic…
Fairy magic worked with the element. It was like Willow and the hybrid were one in the same. 
She startled a bit at her own voice– though too young, too foreign. Amity barely recognized it, because it’d been so long since she’d been that person. “That’s hella,” she breathed out. Amity glanced back at Willow, her eyes getting bright and excited. “Seriously, this is so fire! Did you grow this?” 
WILLOW
The hybrid was practically preening at Amity’s reaction, flooding Willow’s head with happy emotions until she couldn’t help her own giggle. Amity’s question brought her back out of the clouds.
“Not intentionally,” she said. Willow held out her hand so Amity could see the faint pink line that was left from when she’d sliced her hand open. “I cut myself while I was watering the flowers and when I came back the next day, this was here, in the exact spot I bled all over. And it’s getting bigger and smarter really fast.”
“Safe,” the hybrid cooed to Willow in Eilonwy’s voice, stroking her wrist, and Willow flushed in embarrassment as it repeated the word in a few different voices of those Willow was starting to get closer to in town. Winston, Edward, Hunter, Tony, Jessica.
“Most flowers communicate mostly with emotion, and even Whisperers can’t respond like this. Plus, it’s part vampire rose. I don’t know if the blood meal is going to be enough if it gets too much bigger. If it wasn’t talking back, I wouldn’t worry about it, but…”
Willow sighed. “I just… I don’t have anyone else I can ask, and you know so much more about advanced magic than I do,” she said. “I know fairy magic isn’t the same, but… thoughts?”
AMITY
Amity wanted to have all the answers. She was supposed to have the answers– she was Amity Blight. But she didn’t. She bit into her lip as she gazed at the plant, watching as it cooed at Willow (almost like Amity wasn’t even there). From what she could remember from the one lesson she was forced to take on magical plants, many were truly sentient– as alive and intelligent as any animal was. These plants had to agree to give you things like sap or their leaves, or else they’d fight back. The alternative was that many sorcerers waited for the plants to die naturally before they collected their parts for potions.
But there was nothing in her textbook about… hybrids. That had to be truly advanced plant magic, right? “I…I really don’t know,” she confessed, blushing all the way to her ears. It was tough for her to admit that. Especially to Willow. “I never took any plant class beyond the introductory course. But if it’s talking, that means it can tell you what it needs, right? Or… I’m guessing you haven’t shown Flower? They might have thoughts about it.” 
WILLOW
Willow knew it was a long shot when she asked Amity, so she wasn’t disappointed by her answer. Honestly, just having someone else know helped. She shook her head to the second question.
“Flower’s back in their Hollow for a while thanks to this whole permit thing,” Willow said, rolling her eyes at the mention of it. “They were kind of pushing their luck and had to bail before they got arrested. I tried texting them, but they warned me that they weren’t going to be able to check their phone very often so I haven’t really gotten a response yet.”
Willow may have been downplaying it a bit to Flower, as well. She liked them a lot, but if the hybrid ended up being a problem, Willow didn’t want to see what would happen when she was no longer on their good side. It wasn’t like any of the authority figures she’d known in the past had been particularly lenient with her mistakes.
She knelt down so she was closer to eye level with the hybrid, smiling warmly at the bud. “You hear her?” she said gently, reaching out to stroke a leaf closer to the bud. Her fingers were flecked with pixie dust from the shop, and the hybrid giggled and blossomed further in response. Willow cupped the bloom in her hands. “You have to tell me what you need, darling.” 
“Yes, Willow,” the hybrid said with a happy giggle, borrowing Willow’s voice once again. “I love you!”
Willow melted at the rush of adoration that flooded her head at the hybrid’s words. “Love you too,” she whispered, giggling at the smooth vines that wrapped around her wrists and fingers and the one that flicked her nose gently. “Okay, knock it off,” she said with a laugh.
AMITY
Amity once again watched Willow and the hybrid, her gaze softening. This is where you belong, Amity thought. And she nearly said it too.
But like always, something held Amity back. She remembered how desperate Willow had been to keep her magic a secret. How she begged Amity not to say anything, as if this was a bad thing. For some reason, Willow might not see the beauty in this like Amity did. Why upset her? This was their like…most normal interaction in years, honestly. There was no blood this time, no demons, no tears, no fire. Willow had even come to her of her own accord. Did she really want to risk screwing that up?
“It looks like the hybrid’s in good hands,” Amity said gently, instead. That seemed…neutral. “I wouldn’t worry too much.” 
WILLOW
Willow looked up at Amity and gave her a small smile. That was something Willow was starting to really take pride in; she would never be the magic user the Isles practically demanded that she be, but she was a damn good gardener. Even before she’d had access to pixie dust.
“It’s not like we’re not used to worse,” Willow said with a small laugh. “There was that Wraithwart patch behind the Grudgby field at Hexside a few years ago, remember? I think it took Professor Fernalise like… eight months to fully smother it. It sent seven kids to the Healing Coven.”
Those seven kids had never been the same after, and most of them jumped to the divination track or dropped out all together.
“You aren’t that scary, are you?” Willow cooed to the hybrid, scrunching up her nose, and the whole bush seemed to wiggle with delight.
AMITY
Amity laughed lightly too. It wasn’t really a memory of her own. It was the sort of thing that troublemakers at Hexside explored. The rumours about the patch scorched through the halls and next came the challenges. I dare you…
Plenty of kids attempted to dare Amity. But dares were beneath a Blight. There had been a small part of Amity who had wanted to go look at the Wraithwart patch anyway– if only to see it.
Or to be included. 
Had Willow gone? That didn’t seem like her. Or…it did– if Amity remembered her old friend who dug for bits of teeth on Lake Lacuna’s shore.
Amity’s gaze lingered on Willow and the hybrid. “I think it’s really cool,” she said it again. “You should…I dunno. Take care of it, see what happens.”
WILLOW
The hybrid fluffed up its petals at Amity’s suggestion, and Willow let out a sigh of relief. She really did like the little flower, but the unknown factor of it all had scared her. She didn’t have many people to turn to ask for help regarding this kind of stuff, after all.
“Yeah, I think that’s probably the best plan,” she said, giving the hybrid one last loving nuzzle before pushing herself back up to her feet. Willow looked at Amity almost shyly before giving her a warm smile. “And… thanks. For coming. It’s nice to have someone to talk to about this stuff that isn’t also a plant,” she joked.
She could feel the greenhouse start to come back to life around them thanks to the hybrid’s loud emotions. Willow started heading towards the door and waved for Amity to follow. “Do you… want to stop at Hatters on the way back?” she asked, gently detangling the hybrid’s vine from around her fingers and silently sending soothing emotions towards it when it started to whine. “My treat.”
AMITY
The last thing Amity expected was an invitation.
Her eyes widened and she glanced at Willow, momentarily speechless. It just...didn’t make sense. Why would Willow want to go to Hatter’s with her? Sure, there’d definitely been some trauma bonding as the demons descended and Amity had tried to give Willow her space but… 
It didn’t feel like enough. Amity hadn’t even offered any help to Willow here, when she’d asked. Amity didn’t deserve Hatter’s. 
But like hell if she was going to turn it out. 
“I…I would like that,” said Amity and she ducked her head. Shyly, she bumped her shoulder against Willow’s. “But I get to treat you too.” 
WILLOW
Willow, still buoyed by the hybrid’s happy emotions, giggled and bumped Amity back gently. She wanted to stay in this moment a little longer, where she just got to be herself.
“Well, if you insist,” she hummed as they walked out of the greenhouse, not noticing the vines that slithered towards the door and writhed impatiently against the floor as she locked the door again and walked away.

What are your OCs' holiday plans?
This one’s long but I‘m NOT apologizing >:3
Happy Halloween and Welcome to Winter Solstice, a 7-day holiday that starts at discount-Christmas-minus-the-coke branding and ends with discount-Silvester aka the actual solstice at the end of the year. Holiday lore exists but isn’t important rn so-
As every year, Yel‘s got a job to do. You‘d think people would learn after a while to not buy presents that need to be shipped up a mountain 3 days before the fest, but nope! Aside from that, stroll through the Christmas solstice markets, visit parents, meticulously plan presents, bake lots of comfy food, wear ugly sweaters unironically, all of these combined, lecture everyone on fireworks safety like every year and get inevitably disappointed 80% didn’t listen and the day after solstice will be filled with shipping health potions, lawsuits, and worrying about the local wildlife.
Meanwhile Mage has holiday shopping fevers to bank on and a cozy shop that’ll protect from the dreaded cold. Until the day itself arrives, homepal ain’t leaving the house any time soon (except to decorate the whole place with fairy lights that customers can buy for a totally reasonable price alongside fireworks.)
Deniz n Red got pretty much the same plans. Visit some markets, eat all the food, enjoy the vibes for a while, and then travel for a bit. Deniz back to his home, while Red visits some of the other places she’s been to back during her adventuring.
And then Violet is kinda doing everything. Girl‘s finally able to experience it all from up close and on her own accord instead of being forced to whatever formal events up high a castle, so she’ll take that chance- the markets, the shopping, sight seeing, checking out holiday event stuffs, bake stuff, try to cook stuff, go wild on the decorations, everything there is minus the family part.
While day 1 and 7 are the "main“ holiday…days, Deniz, Red, and Mage all only really celebrate day 7, the actual Winter Solstice. Yel and Violet do both!
Though while everyone minus Yel is still around for not-Chistmas, it leads to her being alone during Solstice. And the town celebration is great! It’s fun, and comfy, and warmer than the cold marble floors could ever be! Yet after the last rockets have flown, it’s a bit…quiet. Everyone else is off to visit someone, but she kinda can’t anymore. Well… except a certain merchant who she knows isn’t gonna sleep before 4am, so.
Despite the underlying negative tension that tends to rise between the two when no one else is around to distract them, Violet goes over there. And while very much awkward at first, they manage to chill, talk, do whatever to keep each other company until it really gets too late. Its…nice. And actually turns into a yearly thing- Mage gets dragged outside by Violet to properly celebrate solstice at the square instead of looking from afar at home, and in turn Violet chills at said home for a while once the fireworks start dying down to hang out.
…and then the very next day they go back to their usual Spiel of more or less "I hate you for being a walking reminder of all my shortcomings so stop being cool to hang out with pls “. Yea

Eva's Thoughts
To say this has been difficult would be an understatement. A new place, a lack of familiarity, or grounding items. I feel quite lost most days.
Ikelos and I over-apologize for everything and walk on eggshells still. Zoe keeps trying to get our mother's attention but there's a level of awkwardness as her personality is quite different.
We often hear things such as- "I don't think you ever really grew up." "You can be so childish sometimes." "Do you know how to behave like an adult?" And the such. Sometimes it does bother her. The rest of us don't quite know how to respond to it.
I'm quite the opposite and strive quite hard to be seen as an independent and responsible adult. Which is rather hard when Zoe is going through stores riding on shopping buggies as if they're toys.
Thankfully we've all been united on finding a sense of stability for the children. While Zoe and Ikelos don't enjoy being the strict parental figure, they've come to understand the necessity in breaking many of these poor habits the children have developed.
Eventually, I will get Zoe to remember fruits and vegetables at lunch instead of cupcakes and honey buns.
Although no matter how hard we push it seems he's still waiting, ready to kick us down. I hate that I allow him this power over me. I sat arguing with him today, losing my temper rapidly when my sister Brittany had to put a stop to it for the sake of my sanity.
I was so rattled by his words that I threw myself into chores and childcare. Help still can't seem to be found as we've now had two therapists cancel appointments with us without explanation.
I want to scream. I truly do. Scream and cry at the sky until something changes because it truly feels like these mountains we move will not stop reforming to block us. One step forward and two back, the saying that comes to mind. It calls into question if we'll ever truly find a sense of security and comfort.
I'm not throwing in the towel but damnit I've considered it. Then I think of every time I have given up and how little that has done for me. It feels like dredging through high water and losing myself to the waves only to return a moment later to struggle for air.
Will it ever get easier? He seems intent on making this as difficult as possible. He's trying to convince the children I should be in jail. He's trying to buy their love as he has hundreds of dollars and we have nothing.
Yes, I quite want to scream. When I was a child and stuck in the middle of the conflicts between my parents, I would run to the forest. I would run until my legs refused to carry me anymore and then I would simply scream until I was sobbing.
I was a silly girl who believed in magic and gods. I would beg for the help of the Greek Gods, beg them to whisk me away, to change my fate. I would curse at them, blaming them for my woes and accusing them of letting the world down.
These days I don't believe in much. Ikelos believes in reincarnation. Zoe believes in Neverland and the idea of living forever. My dear sister still believes in Heaven and Hell. Amaranth believes in the power of the universe, the Mother Earth, and the Norse mythology. I don't quite know what to put my faith in.
I'm trying quite hard to put all of that belief into us. I need a win. Not a simple pat on the back over an application being finished, or paperwork being faxed.
I need a big win, something that will make me feel like I will have control over this life. Not a negative bank account with hopes that there will be a deposit into in a week. Not his threats and constant intimidation. Not crammed into a small room with three children with a broken fucking bunk bed that I'm unsure how to fix.
I need to feel good about something. I truly do.

Dating Michael Morbius and Lucien/Milo would include...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay, so i believe you would have met as children in the hospital
You would have been placed on the same ward as Michael and Milo and became fast friends
the three of you would stay friends for many years, with some silly crushes between you all but all would remain unspoken until found yourself in a bar one night, getting royally drunk, when one of you spilled the secret of your crush and then the others followed suit
The next morning found, you found yourself in a very awkward situation and a very heavy hangover
You and Morbius stuttered out some lame cover up stories whilst Lucien just rolled his eyes
"My dear, dear Michael. We don't have a lot of time, and our lovely (Y/N) isn't getting any healthier-"
"Hey!"
"I apologize, (Y/N), but it is true. We don't have forever so what are we waiting for?"
"Are you suggesting the the three of us-"
"Yes, Michael, I am."
The three of you planned a nice outing for the next night as your first official date - or trial run as Morbius put it - at an upscale restaurant Milo just happened to know the owners of.
From then on, it was as if you had been together forever.
You all had fallen into an easy domestic relationship, even if the new dynamic was still new.
It was often that one of you didn't feel great so you all often spent time at Milo's apartment, piled onto the couch watching some old sitcom rerun.
On the better days, the three of you walk around the streets until you find a food cart which catches your eye (the best one is the pretzel cart near your bank)
Michael's endeavours to find a cure for him and Milo meant that he didn't come home at reasonable hours an often putting his health on the line by overworking himself so either you or Milo often went to his lab to collect him before he began to burn out for the night.
Kisses are very common, especially forehead and cheek kisses in passing as the three of you kept very busy at times and don't want to interrupt the others
Longer, softer kisses were saved for late nights when it was just the three of you hidden away from the world.
Cuddling is an essential part of your relationship
When Michael initially takes his cure for his condition, he tried to keep it from the both of you but when you and Milo took it to heal yourselves from your conditions Michael goes out of his way to ensure both of you adapt and adjusts to your abilities and tries to lead you towards more ethical ways to survive
He is initially taken to with backlash, but when you both come to your sense, you follow his path. Although this come with much difficulty
Most of all, dating both Milo and Michael means that knowing that you are loved and supported through everything including the mundane and the supernatural.

Phone calls after Mc returned to the human realm
Lucifer:
this man is stubborn, calling you would be like admitting he's gone soft and his pride does not allow that!
so he refuses to call for the first few weeks, keeping himself busy with work of which he has enough anyway
due to all his student council work, a few other tasks of Diavolo and on top of that the usual shenanigans of his brothers, he quickly becomes very stressed
he's at his breaking point and needs someone to talk to so he can release some of his stress before he takes it out on someone else
so he goes to your old room and starts talking as soon as he enters it, only to stop confused when he doesn't see you in the room, remembering only now you left for the human realm
disappointed he sits down onto the bed and curls the blanket around himself
"Their scent is almost gone...Soon it'll be as if they were never here"
he closes his eyes, sighs softly and makes his decision
"Mc? I hope I didn't wake you. I simply thought a conversation would be nice, it's been a while..."
Lucifer's call is pretty casual, he talks about his day, work and his troublemaker brothers, it almost feels like any other day before just this time it is over phone
he does not want to admit he misses you, a) because he'd seem weak and b) he fears what admitting it will do to him, he might just miss you even more
BUT while saying goodbye he accidentally lets a "I miss you" slip, his breathing stops shortly realizing his mistake, he is about to apologize when you say it back
he smiles softly, genuinely relieved about your shared sentiment and whispers "I'll call you again soon then" before hanging up
from then on he calls you every evening and you better jump right away and pick up at the first ringing, because this man is lonely without you
Mammon:
"Congratulations! You're one of our lucky winners of our monthly Devil-Lottery. We'll have to confirm your bank account number with the one given to us when you agreed to participating in the lottery. Would you be so kind to slowly repeat the number-"
this greedy demon will quite literally try to scam you, only to absolutely panic when you hang up on him
he will instantly call you back, constantly adjusting his glasses, a nervous habit he acquired over the years
"H-hey...Mc...uhm, it's me your favourite demon!"
he is relieved you picked up, as it means you didn't block him right away, he stumbles over his words trying to find an excuse why he just tried to scam you
"Ah you know I only did that to test you, you've passed nobody scams my human! You're my amazing human after all! That's why I love you...u-uh I-i mean...nothing...that was a static you must have misheard..."
when you tell him you knew it was him as you recognized his voice, he'll be outraged, screaming into his D.D.D (and probably later getting punched by Lucifer for being so loud)
"What do you mean you already knew?! You dared to hang up on The Great Mammon?
He gets a bit sulky by your reaction, so how about playing into his obvious lie of testing you to make him feel better again
besides trying to scam you Mammon also called to (not so sneakily) check on your wellbeing
now that you're gone he constantly worries about you and he can't do much to help, but if you were actually in need of help due to whatever, trust me he'd fight Lucifer himself for permission to go to you
he'll call you as often as he can, sometimes with a few days of a break in between, asking you about your life and also letting you in on his upcoming money making schemes...please don't tell Lucifer about them
Mammon has learned his lesson though, he'll never try to scam you again, he couldn't bare it if you were to block or ignore his calls
Leviathan:
phone calls? Why? You two can just talk about the in-game talk function of this new online game you play, but no real world talk while playing that ruins the immersion!
Levi will rarely call you as he just doesn't feel comfortable enough to talk with you about normie stuff for too long
he normally just spam writes you, ding, ding, ding, one message after another coming in without you being able to respond quick enough
so if gets too much and you decide to just call him so you can have an actual chance of responding, Levi just panics and almost drops his D.D.D
"Mc? D-did you accidentally hit the c-call button? N-no? I-i see no I love you too!!....AAAAAAAh I-i meant I l-l-love t-talking to you too...hehehe w-why would a yucky o-otaku like me say something like that"
poor boy is so nervous he'll say something stupid and will stutter a lot the first few times you call him, he is just not used to talking on the phone
he will laugh nervously over everything and sometimes there'll be a phase of awkward silence, but please don't point it out, Levi is already stressed enough as it is
once he gets used to calls, he'll surprisingly suggests to have a phone call while both of you are watching the new episode of an anime, so he'll be able to talk to you as if you're right next to him, which works out mediocre at first, you have to tell him to be a bit quieter a few times but besides that it's quiet nice
"Ooooooowhooooooah!!! Did you see that? That was amazing, I wish I had these superpowers, I'd save you of every danger like a real hero! W-what do you mean I'm already your hero?"
Yes, you saw and heard it, and your neighbours probably heard Levi...
on the rare occasions Levi calls you he'll often asks you for favours like to buy him this exclusively in the human realm sold limited edition game, of course he isn't like his scummy brother Mammon who'll constantly asks for things and he'll also make it up by sending you stuff you can only get on Akuzon
so calls don't happen very often, but neither if you really mind, you'll still be in contact through messages and games
Satan:
Satan will be very proper about calling you, he'll check through messages if you're fine with him calling you, so he can be sure you have time and he doesn't bother you
Satan never jumps into a conversation right away (unless he is angry), he makes sure to show interest in you and hold a bit small talk, asking about your day, how you're doing and so on
you talk about many different things with him mostly about your shared interests, but Satan is willing to listen to you ramble about hobbies he doesn't have as well
one thing you two quickly come to do was have book club sessions over phone
"I wish you were still here Mc. I miss my book discussion partner, nobody here has as interesting opinions and views as you..."
back in Devildom you two would both read a book and afterwards discuss your thoughts, and you found a way too keep doing just that
you both write about books, decide on one to read for the week and would than have a phone call where you just talk for hours about the piece of literature you've read
now that you're back in the human realm, the book choices are even bigger as you can read human books as well, you just have to send a copy to Satan, sometimes Barbatos will be nice and pick a book up and deliver it to Satan, or to you if it's the other way around with a demon book
"Oh? No, you're right. I haven't thought about it like that yet...your thoughts are so fascinating!"
Satan will shower you in praise for every little detail that you noticed yet he missed. he genuinely enjoys your phone calls, and though he wouldn't admit it, sometimes he anticipates your call more than the actual book
even though there now is a bigger distance between you two he still feels as close to you as before, not much has changed for him and he knows he'll be able to see you again soon, he'll just have to be patient
"Next week, same time? I'm looking forward to talking to you again. Take care until then!"
Asmodeus:
"Oh my Lord! You won't believe what just happened!!!"
no greeting or alike, just straight into the discussion
whenever something gossip worthy happens, Asmo is already dialling your number to spill the tea and keep you updated on any Devildom related gossip, even if it won't help you much, it's a nice thought of him keep you in the loop
those are only the spontaneous call though, obviously you can't take these all the time...you still have a life of your own...
you two actually call each other every day at the same time, plus/minus a couple minutes, the water in the tub has to be filled first...yeah Asmo likes to talk you while he is taking his afternoon bath
"Hahh it's so relaxing, warm water caressing my beautiful skin, and the bath bomb today smells so good! I wish you could smell it, or even better I wish we could bathe together!"
*water sloshing noises intensified*
Asmo...no....yes...maybe...just stop, you'll fluster Mc!
"No really! I miss having you here, I'll pamper you all day the next time I'll get to see you. You must already be starved of my beauty, but don't worry my dear, I'm just as starved of seeing your lovely face!"
what to talk about while he is bathing? Anything really if it's about your day, any complains or whatever, just expect a few innuendos of him...that's nothing new though
seriously though Asmo is the guy to talk to about any of your problems, he will listen and try to come up with a solution for you, even if he seems a bit narcissistic sometimes he really cares about you, so use your phone calls as therapy from time to time
"Oh darling, don't worry it'll be okay! I'm here to help...now tell me every detail so I can come up with a plan! I'll always be there for you, no matter what!"
Beelzebub:
"*munch munch* This one is really good! Mc you should try some...oh"
now that you're back in the human realm, Beels snack times are very lonely, he has just gotten so used to your presence, even sharing his food is normal by now
and let's be honest Beels snack time is 24/7 so he misses you a lot
he feels the urge to call you every five minutes and sometimes even forgets to eat while phone is ringing and he is waiting for you to pick up
but you can't constantly talk with him over phone so the calls often end up on your voicemail where Beel tells you about all the different kind of foods he ate that day
when Belphie catches wind of his twin constantly pestering you, he hides Beels D.D.D so he can't call you all the time
when you're actually able to pick up on his call, Beel will be so happy you can quite literally hear his huge grin while he's excitedly talking about his current snack
"Have you ever tried spicy bat-wings? There opened a new restaurant in town and it's really good!! Next time you're here I'll invite you there. Oh but what if it closes before you're back...ah you'll just have to visit soon!"
though Beel is often disappointed when you don't pick up, he would never hold it against you, he knows he calls quite a lot, but he just misses you and tipping a message while he eats is harder than putting his D.D.D on speaker and talking to you
of course he doesn't only talk about food, he also tells you about how his brothers are doing and how his workout was, or what things he has planned to do at the weekend, all in all Beel is just super happy to share everything of his life with you
on rare occasions he'll call you and be untypically quiet, that happens when he had a fight with his twin, it's not often but sometimes it happens and his first instinct is to call you, because he feels like he can tell you everything so he is very comfortable and trusting with you
"I miss you a lot, you know...but I also know that you think about me daily, every time your stomach rumbles you'll be reminded of me and that makes me happy, I also think about you every time I'm hungry! Hm? But I'm always hungry? That's right! You're always on my mind!"
Belphegor:
Listen, his sleeping schedule is very tight, you can't just expect him to call you!
he will call you so rarely and if you call him it might just happen that he is sleeping and has phone on silent...or he's just to lazy to walk to his phone, or he is just not in the mood to talk... he takes any excuse to not be on the phone
Belphie does like talking to you, but he is not the greatest at long conversations so he like messages more
sometimes when he can't seem to fall asleep, he will be the one to call you...in the middle of the night...and you better pick up or he gets annoyed
"What took you so long? I thought you wanted to talk more often and then you leave me hanging for a whole minute? Doesn't matter I would have waited longer with you...."
he is mostly silent through a phone call, his main reason to call you is because he like to listen to you talk, it's calming to him and if he calmer then he might be able to fall asleep again
so don't expect an amazingly deep conversation...
"Mhmmm...hm? Yeah I'm still there. I'm listening keep talking, I love your voice..."
he'll bring up a topic from time to time so you have an inspiration about what to talk about, but most of the times he just lazily hum or making acknowledging noises so you know he is still listening
"Zzz..."
he will to 100% fall asleep while being on the phone with you, that doesn't mean you're boring, but that he trusts you so much that he is comfortable enough to let his guard down
Diavolo:
"Good afternoon! How was the week of my favourite human?...ah don't tell Solomon I said that hahaha"
as the future king of hell, he is a busy man, but he still manages to give you a call once a week, to the same time you two would have normally had your weekly afternoon tea meeting in the castle
with the exchange year over there is not much about your classes to talk about left, but Dia is just as excited about any other topic you decide to talk about, be it the most mundane thing he loves it!
"Oh so you went grocery shopping? That must be fun! Barbatos does it all the time, though I suppose you buy less things...I'd like to see a human market at some point, I wonder if they're very different from ours...oh but I wouldn't really able to tell I suppose, Barbatos and you would need to point out the differences!"
this man can talk without taking a break for hours...you think Asmo is bad? Prepare for Diavolo...
but seriously it never gets boring with him, because he somehow finds good and fun stuff in every activity, I swear give him a vacuum and watch him clean you're whole flat with the enthusiasm of a child getting presents on Christmas
the work of a future king consists of so much paperwork, Dia will have only few events of his week to tell you about, if there is something to talk about there is a high chance it has to do with the brothers
so he'd much rather just sip his tea and listen to you, he'll ask you loads of questions though about anything he doesn't know
sometimes you two forget the time and Barb sadly has to remind you to come to a stop for now
"Mc? Did I wake you? If so I'm terribly sorry...would you be up to talk for a little bit more? I'm not feeling too tired yet"
surprise night time calls from Dia where you'll have to speak silently or Barbatos might reprimand Diavolo for staying up all night and being tired the next day, Dia doesn't regret it ever though, he likes to talk you a lot!
Barbatos:
Barbatos is always busy and his schedule can often suddenly change with a new whim of his master, so he can't exactly have a scheduled call with you
so you might not get to hear of him very often
BUT he made it a habit to call you when he is on duty to do the dishes, the chore is somewhat boring to him with no one to distract him
so he calls you and if you pick up, he'll put you on speaker and talk to you about whatever comes to mind while his hands wash one after another of the expensive porcelain of the royal household
"I've bought this new tea which is said to be really nice, it can even be enjoyed cold apparently. It seems to have to just the right amount of sweetness to not get bitter when drank cold...you can still add sugar for extra sweetness, though I believe you're already sweet enough as it is"
no matter what you decide to talk about Barbatos always has at least some knowledge about it, so it's beneficial for both of you, he can tell you the things he knows and you tell him your stuff
"I hope I'm not bothering you too much? There is quite a lot to do today... so it might take some more time..."
you will never get to know that Barb has actually already finished the dished a few minutes ago, but just isn't ready to say goodbye yet
the rest of the employees will be able handle the castle for a bit longer without him, meanwhile he can take a well deserved tea break and listen to you
he very much enjoys the fact he found a way to have some time with you while theoretically having to be at work, as long as he is able to finish all the tasks of his daily schedule, he doesn't feel too bad about his not so legal break
"I fear I'll have to get back to work now, but I loved talking to you today! I hope you enjoyed it as well. I'll talk to you again soon!"
Solomon:
Though Solomon returned to the human realm with you, you haven't heard much of him, being a wise old man sorcerer must be very time consuming
so calls of Solomon might be rare but that doesn't mean you don't write messages every now and then, when he calls you though it's always about something interesting or important to share, he talks about those things rather verbally, the best option for him would be in person, but that doesn't always work so a phone call is the second best option
"My lovely apprentice, how is your studying going? I've found the tome we were talking about last time you were interested in...it took some research to find which sorcerer had it but I brought it back for you. How about I'll drop by you next week? I can help you with your studying then, the tome is written in an older version of the language it might be easier if we do it together!"
Solomon can simply not sit still, so while you're on the phone, he is always tinkering at something and the background noises are sometimes quite peculiar...
Was that a pig squeaking? Are you sure you should be brewing a potion while being on the phone? Isn't it distracting?
Oh Lord was that an explosion?!
"Hmm? Oh yeah...I`m cooking dinner right now! It was just a small explosion though, you know the ones that are regularly happen in the kitchen. Why? Was my cute student worried about me?~ heheh alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you...for now!"
no matter how chaotic, teasing or busy Solomon is though, if you call him and are in need of help, he'll drop everything and run to you
he knows how hard it can be when studying magic, not to mention that the studies are difficult, the constant hiding of any magic in front of other humans is also very nerve wrecking, sometimes you feel like giving up and going back to your normal life, back to your non-magical very human friends that are blissfully unaware of everything happening around them, but you know you could never forget and act as if nothing happened, you'd also miss your new not so normal friends, so when times get hard Solomon will rush to you and comfort you in person or at least calm you down on phone until he is able to go to you
if that happens he is more likely to call you every two to three days just to check in on you
"Hey how is my strong and beautiful fellow human doing? Feeling better yet? Need a shoulder to lean on? I'm at your flat in 10 minutes..."
Simeon:
Simeon is a daily caller as well, he's gotten so used to seeing you every day that he feels quite restless if he doesn't get to hear your voice at least once a day
he asked you to recommend at what time he should call, he doesn't want to restrict you in your daily life, so you both came to the conclusion after dinner would be perfect, as both of you are free for the rest of the day then
He will often write a bit on his TSL scripts, just some notes and inspirations he comes up while talking to you
"How was your day my little lamb? You haven't overworked yourself right? Tell me if you ever need help!"
though Simeon would definitely have things to complain about with how Michael is working him to the bone, he'd rather not worry you so instead he tells you about how Luke is doing and evasively answers you questions about himself
"Oh me? Ah yes, I'm doing fine, just doing the usual archangel stuff you know...Ah please do not worry Mc, my dear! Nothing dangerous!"
over the time his TSL notes turn into random scribbles, rhymes and poems and every now and then something that looks suspiciously like your name
Sometimes Luke crashes the call and wants to speak with you as well so Simeon tries to put the phone on speaker only to end up ending the call and Luke getting frustrated with Simeon and doing it himself
then again Simeon also just accidentally hangs up on you mid conversation, because his fingers hit the button without him noticing, he'll get so confused when you cut off in the middle of your sentence and thinks something has happened to you, only to be relieved when you call back a few seconds later
Simeon is very interested in your day and how you doing, asking you many questions and encouraging you to keep talking
"Oh no please keep talking! You're not overwhelming me at all, in fact I like listening to your voice, it puts even the most melodic voice of an angel into the shadows...hahaha did I make you embarrassed? I apologize, I didn't mean to, I was only telling you my honest opinion!"
Simeon is quite the flatterer, but he often does not notice it, he simply tries to be nice, so a call with him leaves you flustered and stuttering ever now and then, but he is just as quick to blush at a honest and heartfelt compliment
Luke:
Luke might be an angel, but he is still low ranking and therefore has less assignments, besides studying to become a great angel and doing some minor tasks for Michael, he is relatively free
he often spends his free time in the kitchen constantly trying to improve his baking, now after the exchange year not only to impress Michael and Simeon but also Barbatos, maybe a bit Beel and definitely you!
but as Simeon is still working at these times, he gets somewhat lonely so he'll try calling you to keep him some company
Luke has this habit of speaking the recipes out loud to remember the steps better and be able to able to make them from memory, he got that tip from Barbatos, but he still has his moments where he gets stuck and forgets what to do next, you can notice that when he gets silent and concentrates on trying to remember
"Ah right that was it! I almost forgot about the eggs! Good thing you were here...or well on the phone hehe! You always remember this stuff, you're so amazing!"
when you tell him you simply looked it up in the internet for him, he'll get a bit sulky that he now basically cheated, but with your reassurance that he is already great and can remember so many other steps, he is quickly back to his happy little angel self
"Michael let me help with his conference today I was assistant record keeper today, one day I'll be able to do it alone, bit they're talking so much and so fast...I think I still need a couple centuries until I'm fully ready, but I'm working on improving! You should also try to improve your skills daily! Even a small bit of practice is good! Though I think you're perfect already!"
Luke most definitely learned his flattering from Simeon... he talks about many different things on the phone but repeating topic is Michael...just talking to you makes his day and later he'll tell everything Simeon and he smiles so brightly while he reports to him, please keep talking to him a lot!

Five Years Later, 2003
"____, will you just calm down." Aleyna lets go of the book box full of bathroom supplies and they clink together, to which you wince because these are your stuff and you’re in a far too dangerous position to lose more money.
"How can I calm down?!" you exclaim dramatically, tossing your wand on the nylon wrapped couch. "It's all Stacey's fault."
Aleyna quirks a brow, "Whose Stacey?"
"That one chick from Magical Catastrophes who always has lipstick on her teeth."
"I don't think her name is Stacey though."
You send Aleyna a look that screams, stop being reasonable at a time like this. No, this was when you overpaid your TV cable to air The Twilight Zone and drank cheap wine while cursing out your boss who cared about your well being. Hermione had become The Minister of Magic, and of course you were proud of her. Though, this didn't mean she could let you have time off work whenever something insignificant happened.
"Probably not," you mutter, opening your fridge and coming face to face with the painful truth that it’s empty, and you’re hungry. Your hand unintentionally flies to graze over your scar as you survey your options, a small pack of ketchup and left over chips. "Suits her though, feels good to say 'Goddamnit Stacey' when something goes wrong in my life."
Stacey deserves it because Stacey doesn’t refill the staplers on purpose.
Aleyna snorts, though it doesn’t quite reach her eyes. "What did Stacey ever do to you?" Then she wheels across your new apartment to retrieve more boxes from outside.
You’re grateful for the support of all your friends, but the pitying looks they give you whenever someone mentions the words house and fire is enough to fuel into your secret want of setting their houses on fire. It was an accident, you were just trying to make the delicious recipe Molly had sent you, ignoring the small fact that you didn't know how to properly use an oven. The savings you lost from your bleeding bank account were not worth pasta with tomato sauce on it.
Though, your new apartment is big, bigger than your first because after making a name for yourself as an Auror money came easily. Wide walls for a projector TV, long tail shaped couch standing firm on varnished wood floorings, and two bedrooms that have their own - kind of unnecessary - bathrooms. Not to mention the giant kitchen with an island, only rich people had islands, where you could make plenty of Italian recipes and not worry about burning the house down because Aleyna fool-proofed it for you.
The flat was at the top floor of the new bar she just built, and she was kind enough to let you start renting the place. The residents of Diagon Alley had been fighting for this apartment for months, and you were proud to have snagged it before anyone could even offer.
Gripping the last two boxes, Aleyna pushes the front door with her foot and navigates herself backwards through the other dozen boxes you had just tossed on the floor. "These are the last two, are you sure you don't need anymore help?" she offers.
You shake your head, "I can just use magic, not in the mood for pursuing the muggle lifestyle right now."
Aleyna frowns, this reaches her eyes though. "That bad huh."
Simply nodding, you don’t bother getting into an in depth rant about how a simple fire didn't mean you had trauma, and that you didn't need to stop working for a few weeks. Not that being an Auror was hard, your work days have been quite uneventful if you didn't count a few "Revalutioners" sticking a muggle's head in a toilet.
"I know what will cheer you up," Aleyna chimes, already clad in her pea coat and sneakers. "Dinner, and it's on me."
You couldn't possibly say no to free dinner, also making food for yourself was probably not a good idea right now. Stay clear of ovens, you reminded yourself.
After getting snug in your coat and fluffing your hair, you fall on step next to Aleyna as the two of you chat.
The London cold is brutal, shivering whomever until their noses turn red and making their hands feel itchy when sudden warmth overtook. You’re used to it, as is anyone in Diagon Alley. People are crowding the stores, chatting loudly and waving their wands around at stores to reserve whatever crappy gifts they were going to buy for their family's.
You hate the holidays, refusing to go back to America and visit your own family. Your mother couldn't cook, nor could your father. Though, that didn't stop her from insisting every year and giving you, your father and the Burke's food poisoning.
After three years of sitting through awkward family dinners where everyone ignored the fact that you were almost Head of Aurors, and focused on Eva's collapsing career of Healer only to praise her, you had about enough and stopped attending. It had been two years since then, they didn't bother to write. Your dad occasionally sent you money in a horrible christmas card with an even more horrible pun written in red glittery letters that also sang Run Run Rudolph.
"Ugh, everyone's crowding the joke shop aga- oh." Aleyna pauses. "I'm sorry."
She knows about your past with Fred Weasley, considering whenever you rant about work it ends up with you cursing him and Eva out. He had such a blame-able face, just like Stacey from Magical Catastrophes.
You give Aleyna a look. "You act like I'm not a grown woman who can't get over something that happened eight years ago." you say, shaking off the small snow particles that begin to lightly fall. "You should be like this with, I don't know...my relationship with Theo! We broke up last year, why aren't you fragile with him, hmmm?"
Aleyna claps your back in a friendly manner all the same. "I know I know, but come on. This is childhood trauma we're talking about."
"Now that I think about it, seeing Eva's coochie was traumatic." you grin, and Aleyna's jaw gape even if she heard the story hundreds of times before. Not that Eva's...modesty was bad per say, just not a pleasant sight seeing as you guys grew up together.
Other than that fact, you hadn't talked, even seen Fred after the war ended. Sure, you occasionally stole glances at their very successful joke shop, but there was no point in dwelling and trying to fix an already withered away friendship.
You had fixed your relationship with Ron and Harry, having had no choice since the three of you worked together. "You were right ____, we were assholes. You don't need to apologize." they had told you, and that was that. The two families and well, you did weekly dinners and enduring the two men for Ginny and Hermione got easier as days passed, finally ending up in a good friendship like old times. It was casual between you, easy when no one mentioned how abruptly your friendship ended. No one dared to either.
Also, Harry was your boss and him remembering that you called him a drama queen wouldn’t do you any good in your career.
People bump at your sides as the two of you squeeze your way towards Sacree Fleur. The end of Voldemort brought a new, reformative era in the Wizarding World. Diagon Alley expanded, new buildings were built and culture grew. You were happy to see that Ollivendar's Wand shop renewed, along with other crumbling buildings that needed desperate attention.
Bandits lessened, and the utter arrogance some parents had by not sending their children to get magical education faded, partly because there was nothing to fear, and partly because more job opportunities arose, like said, money came easily.
Fleur Weasley, your good friend and someone who had done the impossible and won over a Weasley brother - though she was gorgeous and possibly the sweetest person you've ever met, so really they were perfect for each other - had decided on a whim to open a french restaurant. Bill couldn't say no to his wife, the rough man you had met years prior was softened with age and the struggle of raising children.
Good wine, deliciously soft steak that melts in your mouth and warm atmosphere that makes five o-clock feel like midnight. It’s by far your favorite restaurant and you'd much rather spend your Christmas Eve curled up next to a warm candlelit dinner on a terrace.
"Bonjour!" an obscenely attractive woman, Fleur greets the two of you when the revolving glass doors are pushed, and you break out in a wide smile seeing your friend at the door. "____, Aleyna! Come here, give me a big hug!"
"Fleur! What are you doing here?"
With dopey smiles, the three of you embrace.The door closes on it's own, and you shiver unintentionally, just now realizing how cold it is. Usually the big marble fireplace keeps Sacree Fleur warm, but even that seemed not enough and the restaurant is adorned with small muggle heaters, floating up above the ceiling and adding to the red light of the candles.
"You'll see. Came at a most amazing time too, silly girl always knowing when to show. Saw all the juicy drama when you were younger..." Fleur continues to joke lightheartedly, pulling away and leading the two of you through occupied tables as she faux scolds. People are content, it feels warm and almost soft. Conversation seems to flow easily and the unease you feel for the Holiday melts. Almost.
You blech whenever someone brings up the line ‘love is in the air’. It never made sense to you, because love was simply a fairy tale that would wither away with time. Also, how could love simply float? Of course, unless you count Amortentia fumes - which yours always smelled like sweat and crushed hopes. So frankly, you prefer expensive Dior perfume in the air rather than love.
Though now you find yourself doubting whatever you engraved in that well protected head of yours, love is truly in the air at Sacree Fleur. All kinds of love, mothers lovingly wiping food off their children's mouths, happy newlyweds clinking their wine glasses together with nothing but adoration in their eyes, friends enjoying sharing a simple dinner far more than should be done.
"My family, they're upstairs having dinner. The kids like the ice cream here, Mr Fortescue provides it well."
"Family? Ginny and Hermione are here?" you ask, lazily climbing the steps to the second floor to reveal the more, private part of the restaurant. Now, instead of wooden chairs with red cushions attached at the middle, there stand long booths with comfortable blankets and pillows with empty, eerily clean tables - except one.
The long table near the terrace is much livelier today, people sitting there whom you consider your own family. The three post luster that hangs low from the ceiling is turned on - it’s the first time you’ve seen the glamorous glass orbs in action. Its light ricochets off of several bright orange heads, simply calling it a lamp does no justice. The hue is yellow, low and it reminds you of the Christmas Eve fantasy you planned.
Said orange heads turn at the noise of delight you let out. "Oh Fleur! This is gorge- oof-"
"Auntie ____!"
A pool of orange locks squish into your stomach, snug in the soft fabric of your coat and you let out a chuckle. You can’t help it, even if you would never admit, he’s your favorite by a small number that-
"Well well, if it isn't Teddy Lupin."
The small boy chuckles, hair matching your black coat like a chameleon sticking itself on a flower and absorbing the color of the petals. You ruffle Ted's hair as the orange fades, he’s delighted to see you, and so are you yet your attention is quickly cut off by several disembodied voices thrown your way.
Bill Weasley is standing up, wine glass on one hand while grinning wide. “Look who my dear wife brought in!” his tidy yet visible scar stretches when his face brightens, you remembered again that day, just how much love you have around you.
“Hey everyone, hope we’re not interrupting.” you apologize, wincing but Bill quickly shakes his head and pushes his chair back.
You waddle your way towards the marble table, Teddy following suit with his face still smushed in your coat. He grips you tighter and you have to peel his small little limbs off your legs.
Aleyna scoffs, arms crossing together as she surveys Ted. “The blatant favoritism!”
Teddy rushes on his little legs to jump in Aleyna’s arms, and only then are you able to acknowledge the other - a little less important - people in the room.
“Happy holidays!” echoes around your head as several people embrace you all at once, and you have to simply stand and awkwardly loop your arm around whoever you can get a hold of.
Once the formalities are over, Ginny throws her arm around your shoulder. The red tresses of her dress hike up her leg from her slightly bigger stomach, and you can see the small broom tattoo on her thigh that she loves to display like a trophy. “You should’ve told us you were coming! We would have saved you a seat.”
A round of yes’s resonate around the room, and you take a quick moment to scan who’s afternoon dinner you’ve just interrupted. Hermione, hand resting on her very pregnant belly, is smiling warmly at you, and Ron quickly shoots up from his seat and wipes his mouth to catch up to his wife. Harry follows in his friend's wake, his hair has a white streak at the front and you furrow your brows.
“Age catching up with you Potter?” you grin, rubbing Ginny’s back fondly before she separates from you and greets Aleyna. “Or is it the pregnancy?”
Harry scoffs, pulling you in his embrace for a quick friendly second. “Always the charmer ____. I’ll have you know I’m handling it wonderfully, right Gin’?”
Ginny pauses, “Erm, yeah…”
Harry’s face feigns faux disbelief, and it quickly melts as you bombard the man with questions about how Ginny’s first trimester is going. You mentally take note of asking Ron about Hermione’s as well, your two best friends are fucking pregnant. It’s almost too happy, and slowly the anxiety creeping up from your spine wraps around your throat, ready to suffocate you whenever.
It was always like this, the past ready to make it’s deathly move, because nothing is perfect. Happiness doesn’t come this easily.
And you’re right, because not only a minute after the warm embraces of your friends comes the voice of the person you’ve been dreading to see.
“____?”
And then, you’re suffocating.
He’s a man. Of that you’re sure, because now his muscles stretch well over his broad shoulders, maroon satin shirt loose on his frame, tight around his biceps - properly sculpted of course - portraying defined collarbones.
His eyes are somewhat duller, though the same glimmer of loveable mischief he always had is evident. It will never go away, even after all these years, yet it’s tamer. That mischief caused him quite the trouble back in school, and now it seems he knows when to act, when to speak and when to stay silent.
His silhouette catches you off guard, his features are sharper, much sharper than how much Harry has matured. His biceps bulge obscenely when he rests his - also generously sized you might add - hand on the table, and the table suddenly doesn’t seem that long.
His forearms, on display with his sleeves rolled up, glistens under the soft lighting of the balcony. Your eyes fall on his bracelet adorned right wrist, one of which in particular catching your attention.
He’s still wearing the bracelet you gave him.
His face, always glowing, wears a large expression displaying his set of perfect teeth. He’s awestruck, you think.
You watch him push his large body out of the small chair, and wow chest, is your only thought. Then further down and...god damn thighs. Burly thighs - probably very comfortable too - squeezed in black tight fit jeans, however he managed that you don’t know but it was nice to imagine.
He’s leaned back, casual as he strolls towards you in two large steps, his long sculpted legs never disappointing.
Fred Weasley is genetically designed to ruin you and your insides with just one look, and you’re ashamed to have realized it all too late because when he speaks again you swear you saw stars.
“Wow - you,” he breaths, walking towards you with slow, unsure steps. “Grew!”
You raise a brow, Aleyna snorts. Grew? His steps should be unsure, because you want him to take them back, sit his fine fit ass back on that chair and pretend he never saw you.
Because this wasn’t your plan for tonight, seeing him wasn’t in your checklist. You woke up today, thinking nothing but coffee and a stressful moving day ahead. Not of the boy - the man you’ve been in love with since childhood, the man you blamed for your problems as an excuse to hide the heart squeezing pain of loneliness, the man you hadn’t seen in so many years you forgot what his voice sounded like.
You could have never guessed, and now you want to go back. Somehow rewind the clock to this morning when you were safe of your tucked away feelings trying to bulge, safe in your own little circle. All your efforts of leaving your house just a little early so you wouldn’t run into Fred seems stupid now. Your strategy ran smoothly for five years, it could’ve ran for more.
You would have continued avoiding him like your life depended on it, and his stupid joke shop, and the way he stupidly looked at you everytime he saw you. You’re reminded again, because no matter how older he looks he’s still Fred, and he still looks at you the same.
“I mean - beautifully! Shit I - fuck.” he groans, and George claps his brother on the back with a chuckle. Wherever he came from, because you were so entranced by Fred that you didn’t see George standing tall next to his family.
“____.” George stops before you, hands in his pockets. it happens too quickly that you’re forced out of your panicked state.
You raise a brow, and only then - Fred’s out of view with George’s figure towering over you - are you able to find your voice. “George.”
He pulls you in his tight embrace, “How come you never visited!” he scolds, chest stretching back to bring you with. “You’d think she’d bloody say hello once in a while! Maybe drop by our shop after 5 years, you quack!”
“George - can’t,” you heave and your legs wobble when he sets you on the ground again. You clear your throat, grinning widely at your...friend?
It would be fair to call him an acquaintance, right? You don’t know where you stand with the twins but you have love for them. This is clear from the way you can’t stop smiling like a sappy idiot - or perhaps it’s because of how contagious George’s smile is. You thought they hated you, but the youngest looks anything but displeased. He gives you a squeeze again before throwing an arm around your shoulder.
“I thought - I dunno. I thought you guys didn’t wanna see me.”
George scoffs, “Because you told us off that one time in seventh year?” he laughs, arms folding and displaying a set of bulging biceps much like Fred’s. “Yeah mate, you’re not that intimi-“
“George Weasley, finish that sentence I dare you!”
His eyes grow wide. “Sorry Ma’am.”
Someone clears their throat.
It’s Frederick Weasley, probably here to beat you to death.
“Hey Fred.” you greet, mouth dry. Get a grip, you scold yourself.
Fred opens his arms, “Well well,” he laughs, pulling you into a hug with a polite smile. His cheeks tint red when you shuffle closer, you would have missed this but you’re a creep, and you can’t stop staring at the beautiful man before you. He displays his beautifully indented smile lines, as if he was saying look at me! I’m perfect and sexy, I also broke your heart that one time, too bad I had no idea!
And it’s true, Fred never knew about your feelings. You kept them well hidden and they ate away at your organs from the inside, there was no reason to blame him. The realization is probably what compels you to accept him with open arms and wrap them around his neck.
You feel him shiver, dismissing it quickly because of the cold.
He smells good. Way too good that you melt in his arms and let him engulf you in his dangerous warmth. Manly, musky cologne, mixing with hints of cigar smoke that lingers on only certain areas of his shirt. You recognize the scotch in his breath when he whispers how much he had missed you, and his nape still has that cinnamon deliciousness he would parade whenever he came out of the shower, you fought the urge to shiver yourself, and it’s not because of the cold either.
It’s dizzying, and before you can start a detailed essay about how good his muscles feel, firm and digging into all the right places, he pulls away.
The past hits you like a ton of fucking bricks and crumbles down the firm foundations of the walls you have been building for eight years. You feel guilty, have you learned nothing? The loud pounding of your heart is a warning, yelling at you to stop getting swept away. Yet you can’t control it, just like how you can never control your feelings.
“I missed you guys too.” you breath shakily, you have to make sure to keep your distance. For your own good, you tell yourself.
Teddy pulls away your attention, and you silently add buy Teddy an expensively dumb toy to your checklist.
He sticks to your leg and is adamant on staying there. “I grew taller.” he says, looking at you between his eyelashes. “He says I didn’t, but I know I did!”
You chuckle, ignoring how Fred looks at the boy with such a warm expression, ignoring the way your heart nearly catapults out your chest.
“Well, stand straight soldier!” you demand.
Ted immediately lets go of your leg and straightens, hand going to his forehead to salute you. A giggle escapes him when you bend on your knees and act like you have a measuring stick on your hand. “Oh yes yes, seven feet tall and growing.” voice mock deep, you nod sternly.
“By this rate - I’ll pass you! Hah!” Teddy stomps his little foot on the stone floor, little sneakers barely making a sound.
You stand up again and fold your arms, “Well, I grow too you know! You can never pass me.” smirking slyly, you egg him on to see how much he’ll endure before he demands a ride on your shoulders - because that’s how giants saw the earth he told you. You doubt giants compare to a twenty four year old woman with attachment issues
Ted stands on his toes, struggling to tug on your shirt and bring you down. “No, I don’t like this game anymore…”
“Alright alright.” and with that you pick him up and prop the little boy on your shoulders.
Ted happily kicks his feet on your chest and you groan. He’s supposed to be five, not a midget wrestler. “Easy buddy boy.”
“You’re amazing with him, little twerp barely lets me tie his shoes.”
Fred’s voice startles you, only now do you realize that he had been watching you and Teddy. Speaking of, Ted’s busying himself with your hair, small hands pulling and twisting locks and mumbling incoherently.
Ear tips slowly catching fire, you chuckle. “Buy him a broom at four and see how he handles it.”
Fred shakes his head, tongue poking at the side of his cheek and you remind yourself to breathe. “You spoil him then? They say the way to a five year old's heart is money.”
“Damn, I’ll drink to that.”
Nuff words said, everyone soon sits on their designated chairs, and you pull one from another table, being the uninvited one.
Aleyna isn’t slick, you knew she had something up her sleeve the moment she had offered to pay for dinner. Though, this is your fault. You let her without calculating whatever end result was waiting to catch you off guard and ruin your entire life plan to avoid Fred Weasley.
Being the snake she is, snake Aleyna enticed you with nice food, dragged you to Sacree Fleur and did her little snake magic.
Awkwardly angled next to your best friend, you chat with Harry and Hermione while they tell you what you missed from work. (Not that you missed much, actually nothing different seems to have happened other than boring paperwork and Mrs Newersman’s new hairdo.)
Swirling your wine in one hand, the reflection of Fred from the rim of the glass keeps distracting you.
He’s changed, not personality wise though there were tweaks. Nor looks, he’s an adult now and his boyish charm is gone, but it isn’t quite that.
You can’t put a finger on it either, and you watch him laugh, carefree with his sister.
He looks relaxed, or maybe it’s merely the wine. Is it - no, couldn’t be. He looks happy. Genuine happiness and adoration for whomever. Love in his eyes as he looks at - Ah. He’s looking at you.
You jerk your head away and tip your wine glass back to gulp down liquid courage - because you need it tonight.  This is bad, you tell yourself, kick you on the shin and punch to your gut bad. This can’t keep up or else you’re going to end up right back in that hollow pit of empty hope and gooey saturday lasagna.
“So, any plans for Christmas Eve ____?”
Ron’s timbre voice thankfully grips your arms and pulls you away from said hollow pit.
“Uhh what?” you cough awkwardly, setting your now empty wine glass down.
“Christmas Eve, what are you doing? Going back home?” Ron asks, raising a brow.
You can lie but something compels you not to, maybe it’s how warmly they always welcome you, how they’re welcoming you now with open arms and nice food.
You shake your head, answering honestly; “No actually, I’ll just celebrate with Jambo and Christmas movies.”
And that’s exactly how you’ve been spending your Christmas Eve these past few lonesome years. It wasn’t that lonely, you had Aleyna and people loved her bar, you’d drop by and count down with people you didn’t know, at least you got to kiss a random stranger.
“Jambo? He’s still alive?” Hermione chuckles.
“No no, this is Jambo Fitzwilliam the Second, who is also a cat but don’t you dare tell him that!” smiling, you joke lightheartedly to conceal the harsh news.
Your hand reaches to trace around your scar as you speak.You know their eyes follow, and you know they stare at it when you’re not looking. Teddy asked you one day, even after Ginny’s scolding but you happily told him your heroic story and how Bellatrix smelled like piss and rum.
Sighing, you set your hand on your lap.
Jambo had unfortunately passed away because apparently dogs couldn’t live two hundred years, which you were disappointed because clearly Dumbledore could. You had already grieved and mourned, it left you with the happiest memories of your precious dog and you were grateful.
“Poor kitty doesn’t know he’s adopted?” George frowns, banging his fist on the table.
You roll your eyes, “I’m sure he’s caught on by now, he’s three.”
“So, you’re spending Christmas Eve alone?” Fred asks, too suddenly and you flinch. He probably sees this, his effect on you.
You nod, and your friends gasp. Surely it wasn’t that big of a deal, or maybe it’s because of how normal it felt for you to be alone.
“Why didn’t you tell us sooner?” Ginny says, hand shooting out to rub your arm.
“I’ve been trying to get her out for ages-“
“Aleyna, don’t.” you nudge her arm.
“No Aleyna, do!” Ginny protests. “You’re spending it with us and that’s that.”
“Wha-“
George throws up his finger to shush you, “No objections!” he declares fiercely. “We’re having a party at our flat and you both are coming!”
“Oh! Unless you and Blaise have any other plans.” Hermione’s quick to ask, she isn’t being slick though.
Aleyna chuckles, “We had dinner reservations but we can make it.”
Hermione grins, and you watch Aleyna pretend that she didn’t notice her friend ready to snoop in her relationship with an amused smile. Not that it matters - she and Blaise have that kind of love you hoped for as a young girl. There was truly no two other people so perfect for each other.
“How’s Blaise doing by the way?”
Aleyna takes a sip from her almost empty glass and tuts on the bitter after taste. “Amazing, actually. He just got promoted…”
Almost empty glasses are soon emptied bottles, and two steaks turn into a large brownie for the middle. You know that it’s a good meal, because as you stand outside in the midnight cold, arm around Aleyna, your legs wobble and your stomach aches from all the deliciousness you’ve consumed. More like inhaled, you only realized how hungry you were until the second steak arrived.
“Thank you so much you guys!” you wave your arm, overly theatrical, forgetting about what a day you’ve had.
Though, the thoughts catch up as you lay awake in bed.
It had gone by too quickly, and your heart is still beating louder than any chirping of the bugs outside. Your bedroom lacks furnishing, it only adds to your wild imagination. Your mind paints pictures on the blank walls as your eyes dart around, Fred didn’t look in your direction once that night.
Or maybe he did, only you didn’t see.
It’s strange, whenever you turned your gaze his way, he seemed to be busying himself with whatever, whether it be his fork or napkin. How interesting can a damn napkin be? Hopefully not any lesser than you.
And are you just going to ignore that goddamned bracelet? The one you carefully sculpted with beads in such a way that you were sure Fred would suspect at least a drop of your raging crush. He’s still wearing it, that piece of string and glass - the symbol of your love and effort - survived through a war.
Are you reading into things? Surely not, he greeted you as anyone else would. Or maybe he remembered - you don’t dare think of that night.
How can they act so normally, so brazen after everything? It’s been almost six years since you saw them, have they got nothing to say to you? Maybe an apology?
Frustrated, you turn to your side and force your eyes shut.
————————
When night bleeds into morning, every cat has a tendency to quip over to their owners on their cushioned paws - which makes no noise but simple claw scratchings on the floor.
Jambo’s no different.
So, you’d imagine the poor creature's shock when he finds your bedroom empty. If he’d bothered to check, you’re seated on your island stool, pen and parchment in hand and mug of hot coffee (instant given the circumstance) in the other.
You hung your new curtains this morning, and were making use of them by shutting them halfway on the hooks while your window stood half open. You watch the snow flurry outside and gulp. If this week was to go horribly wrong... at least you have nice curtains waiting for you at your ritzy new apartment.
Jambo wraps his tail around your dangling ankle like he always does and you barely hum in acknowledgement. He’s purring, and it brings you comfort even if it’s for a small moment. But your question still remains unanswered, What would a five year old boy want for christmas?
It had been exactly two days since Ginny invited you to spend Christmas Eve together, and you busied yourself with buying them gifts - a tradition you hated because 1. coming up with gift ideas is infuriatingly hard. It’s way too time consuming, nit picking every single personality and deciding what they’ll like and what they’ll pretend to like. Pretend like they’re going to use it, and then never touch it until that one very specific occasion.
Maybe it’s excessive, but you actually like these people. They somehow give you - a sad, lonely sewer rat that’d been a neglected child - joy.
And 2. you feel like those people you make fun of every Christmas. Though, somewhere deep in your heart, you know you enjoy being those people. You would never admit it though.
What? You actually relish in the idea that you belong to a group, and that said group causes you to carry out cliche holiday traditions?
Absolute blasphemy.
Finally deciding, you leave your apartment in warm but cher clothing. It isn’t as crowded this morning - or maybe it’s because it’s seven forty in the crack of fucking dawn. Though, with the amount of caffeine you’ve consumed, it feels like ten.
Would they even be open, you ask yourself, jogging quickly about the streets on your heels to avoid the cold. It’s Christmas, they have to be.
Of course your logic sucks.
Shivering, you round the corner tea shop and fasten your pace. Ass freezing, lip tucked in between your teeth, you realize you have underestimated the morning London cold.
Soon, thankfully, the giant head of George(?) you assume, comes into view. The animatronic is motionless, big porcelain eyes closed and displaying sinister gaping holes. You shiver, and not because of the cold either.
Keeping your eyes low on your feet, you push the glass doors of the shop open. You don’t bother to check the inside from the generous glass displays, it’s way too cold and you don’t want to spend any more time outside with the giant George doll.
A bell rings, a little jingle up above that puts a smile on your face. Jambo’s collar jingled like that whenever he got excited, whether it be a pesky squirrel ready to bum off your house food, or maybe a friendly one showing its face to piss off the house dog.
You sigh, and only then notice the delicious scent of fresh coffee roast. Invading through your nostrils and turning you into a drunkard, and you can’t help but gravitate towards-
Woah, you’ve had your coffee today.
“Who's here so early, couldn’t a man enjoy breakfa-”
You smile apologetically, it’s only natural that Fred just woke up. He isn’t a morning person, after years of knowing him you found out one way or another. In your case, he was mean to you and that’s when it clicked. Fred doesn’t like the early hours of morning, where his hair isn’t as tame and his lips feel like they’re about to pop. You find it charming.
“____?”, the man of the hour comes into view, standing at the top of the spiral staircase. The first step is a rung, rolling on the hinges of the wall's edges. The staircase rattles when Fred steps down, and you quickly jump forward in panic.
Mug in one hand, his fingers rake through his mussed morning hair then settles on the checkout counter. “Morning,” He smiles, and those dang smile lines greets you, as if they’re mocking you again.
“Morning, I know it’s early and-”
“It’s okay, have you had breakfast yet?”
Taken aback, you nod. Disappointment flashes through his face, and before you can analyze he straightens. Taking a sip of his coffee and humming, he fixes his pyjama bottoms. Red and checkered, loosely hanging from his hip and giving you a teasing view of his lower abdomen. “Can I get you anything?” he asks again, adamant on offering you something.
You shake your head no and you watch his face fall. Merlin, you would have come starving if it meant having breakfast with him. The view before you is enough to fulfill your darkest fantasies, and this is enough. Because you know that this is all you could get. His friendship.
But is it though? Is it truly enough? Will it ever be enough?
The questions that linger around your head have an answer that you wouldn’t dare set free. Everything you’re doing right now is wrong, how you’re standing in front of him, letting his delicious scent compel you further into him.
He smells almost alluring - he always does - less piquant than yesterday. Probably the after taste of neglecting a shower, yet his natural fragrance is just as charming. You remember those mornings at the Burrow when Fred stumbled down the stairs, sun early and bright, woken up just like himself. He smelled ama-
Woah, down girl.
Fred clears his throat, and only then do you realize how long it has been since you spoke.
“I need to buy something.” you blurt. Fuck, this couldn't get more embarrassing. “For Ted, his gift.” You finish lamely.
“Ah,” Fred chuckles, giving you a quick lookover. You flush. “You have come to the right place.”
It’s true, the shop is truly...something. A gateway to heaven for anyone twelve or younger. Fascinated, you take your time to linger your eyes on every little nook and cranny that catches your eye.
The shop feels much tamer without the telltale rowdy crowd, it’s almost comforting. You can really see a piece of each twin on each display, Fred’s being the Deflagration Deluxe. ‘A deluxe selection of Weasleys’ Wild-Fire Whiz-Bangs’ read on the big cardboard. You chuckle, he always had a bag full of them that he carried around religiously.
“Those!” he exclaims, scurrying over to the display, “New and improved by yours truly.”
You chuckle, and Fred breaks out into a smile. “Here, I’ll show you around.” he mutters, before you can utter a protest, he takes your hand in his and drags you to a shelved corridor. “This is his favorite section, explosives and quidditch.”
You smile as you scan the heaps of colorful products lining the walls, all engraved with the shop's signature logo. Fingers coming out to touch a few, you subconsciencly swing your encased hands together. “These are real neat.”
Fred smirks, though his palms feel hotter than usual, “Not so much when he’s blowing up the bloody flat.”
You chuckle softly, eyes fluttering to imagine little Ted shaking up a pair of fireworks, unknowingly setting them off and resulting in a giant black mark on the ceiling. Because only that explains the small black stains on the walls of the shop.
“See anything you like?” Fred offers, almost in a whisper.
“No I,” you turn back to him, and something flashes between the two of you. “I’m still…looking.”
The air feels tense, warm, affecting your body. Your breath catches in your throat, Fred’s eyes bore into yours with such intensity that you don’t know what to do. Even your breathing feels on edge.
He moves closer to you and your heart flutters. His exhales hit your ear, only a breadth away from your neck and you flinch. Chills lift up the hair on your arms, “No...erm.” you mutter.
“Alright.” he says softly.
His eyes are hooded, displaying a perfectly long set of eyelashes.
How, is the question. They’re long and thick, and you’re jealous. Yes, you might have ruined yours with your curler but still, if you were born with eyelashes like that you wouldn’t even need a blasted curler.
“What are you thinking ‘bout.” he whispers, long digit lifting to stroke your cheek. So soft that you barely feel it, before he trails it up your cheekbones, to the panes of your face.
The same alarms blast in your ears, and you can’t ignore them this time. It isn’t that you don’t like this, on the contrary you’re ready to jump him.
“Eva!”
Fred takes a step back, face falling. “What?”
You shake off whatever just happened seconds ago and focus on reality. “Gosh, I forgot to ask.” you exclaim, over excited but at what cost. “How is she doing? Is she up there in the flat?”
Fred winces. “Actually-”
“I’m guessing you guys moved in together, after all those years you know. Don’t tell me you guys got marr-”
“____!” he takes a deep breath, “We broke up a few years ago.”
You freeze. “What?”
They broke up? “Why, oh Fred-”
Fred shushes you with a finger. Embarrassed, warmth spreads through you like a tidal wave. “I fell out of love, but it felt nice to have someone around, you know?”
You don’t say anything, yes you know but his loneliness and yours is much too different.
Growing up, Fred had the support of his family, he always had someone there. You knew it was bad to dismiss him like this, but the aching in your heart wasn’t going to allow him to speak like that. He always had someone affirming that it would be okay, someone to pat his back whenever he scored a goal through a hoop, whenever he got a good grade or did a cool trick with his broom. He still had them, even if he was at his worst. He had endless support. You didn’t.
It wasn’t easy after the war, living alone with nothing but the collar of Jambo gripped tightly in your hands. He had died shortly after Voldemort fell, and you had to hang onto the last piece he left until your agony died down. That was your only support.
Ginny, Hermione and Aleyna were there of course, but everyone's way of coping is different, and they didn’t understand yours nor each other’s. It’s worse to try and forget, run away from that fear because it would always catch up with you, and you found that the best way is to sit and feel.
But that doesn't mean your friends weren’t any less supportive. The after effects of the war were way more harsh on you than you let on, you were stuck on autopilot - a painful loop that made your life feel worthless. Work, money, survival - the three main aspects occupying your mind at all times. You didn’t have the love and attention to give to friends or a relationship (maybe that’s why it never worked out) but soon, Ginny and Hermione had reached out to you.
It was a simple letter delivered by their family owl Nebula - a descendant of poor old Errol. You remember tears pooling in your eyes when they told you how much they missed you, they gave meaning to your life. It was no longer the painful loop, they invited you over for dinner, visited every other day after hooking up your house Floo Network, you were always a welcomed guest in their homes.
They made you realize that friendship didn’t need much energy nor hard effort, just being there for each other was enough. Love for someone came naturally, and you didn’t need to extract some of your own self-love to give to others. They were two different things.
Skimming past that, you watch Fred show you three different options of Make Your Own Fireworks kits. You smile solemnly, accept a random one and quietly follow him to the checkup counter.
“So.” he starts, wrapping the product with the paper design you picked. “How about you, anyone special?”
Drumming your fingers on the counter, you shrug. “I dated Theo Nott for a year, I knew nothing would come out of it but like you said, nice to have someone.”
He raises an eyebrow, “Nott? Really?” he frowns. “Can’t believe that tosser managed to-”
You snort, “What is that supposed to mean?”
Shrugging, Fred hands you the package. “Nothing, it’s just that -” he pauses and his eyes look at you like you should know what he’s talking about. As if the two of you have some sort of telepathic connection, Fred was always like this.
He would look at you like you understood a word you said, even though he’s been silent for the past minute or so. He always struggled to express himself, and you’re sad to see that this habit followed him into adulthood.
Nonetheless, you smile. “Just that what?”
“Nevermind,” he sighs. “That’ll be twenty five galleons.”
“Twenty what?” Your eyes widen. “You heartless man!”
Fred gapes at you, struggling to keep a straight face.
“Twenty five, to your oldest pal? Twenty and a stick of gum.”
Fred pretends to think. “How about you keep the gum and give me twenty four.”
“Twenty two.” you narrow your eyes, leaning forward on the counter. “Oh come on, it’s Christmas!”
Fred scoffs,“I am giving you the holiday discount!”
Grumbling, you reluctantly stick your hand in your purse and take out your wallet. “I won’t forget this. You’re in my book.”
Fred gasped dramatically, “Not the book!” he exclaims, “Twenty two then, please for the love of merlin not the book.”
You lift your chin, head tilting to the side to survey him mockingly. “Twenty two it is, you won’t get away so easily next time.”
The two of you giggling, you pay him the money and leave a few sickles. “For the great service.” you say, him pretend-blushing at your words and tucking a strand of his shoulder length hair behind his ear.
He speaks after some time, the laughter has died down and left it’s comforting after taste. “I missed you ____, why didn’t you visit?”
That turns the after taste into pure panic.
How can he ask that when the answer is so obvious. Fred’s still cruel it seems, he doesn’t bat an eyelash as he speaks. He knows the reason.
“Oh you know,” you start after some time, “Work and stuff.” you lie, and fight the urge to cringe at your words.
Though Fred doesn’t buy it, he doesn’t push it either. He simply nods, looking down at the checkout counter. You’re glad he’s avoiding your gaze, because it makes your departure much easier. “See you at the party Fred, thanks for the...uh. Yeah.” you awkwardly lift your bag up and give him a wave before pushing yourself outside. You can finally breathe.
——————
You look good.
Or, at least you think you do.
Blaise was arriving in exactly seven minutes and you barely just put on your dress. You’re sure of this because Blaise is always on time, he even has an unnecessarily expensive watch on his right hand that he obsessively likes to check. At least Aleyna’s into it, frantically trying to strap her heels, she’s wriggling herself towards the front door to somehow track her lover. You don’t know how love works, maybe they can smell each other from a mile away or something.
Shaking your head, you fluff your hair and wipe a hand across your under eye after wetting it with your tongue. You think Aleyna calls for you, you’re not sure because you’re too occupied trying to decide if you’re going to wear lipstick.
“Hey,” you walk out of your bathroom door and scurry towards her, “should I?”
Aleyna raises a brow. You scoff, “Stop doing that, you know I can’t raise mine individually.”
“Sounds like a you problem.”
“I’m about to make it your problem too if you don’t help me.”
As reflex, you roll your eyes. You only do this because you know it reminds Aleyna of that one chick from Blaise’s workplace - she knows no boundaries, apparently. It’s a shitty move, but it’s a shitty world.
Aleyna carefully inspects the two products you hold tightly between your hands. A simple shimmery gloss and a nude, almost dark red lipstick you stole - borrowed - from her. “Depends, who are you smooching?”
Throwing her an incredulous look, you hold out the two products on your palms. “I’m not smooching anyone.”
Unless of course Fred Weasley asks, if he does you would pull out makeup wipes from thin air and jump into his arms with naked lips ready to be kissed. Though, that’s only a fantasy and Fred is emotionally unavailable...scratch that, you are.
You’re not sure how tonight is going to end, and you can’t help but be aware of that looming clump of anxiety, clutching on your chest and refusing to let go until you're assured that it’s going to be fine.
“The gloss, just in case.” Aleyna stops your train of thought before it trashes off its tracks and crashes somewhere in Fred McDreamy land.
You nod, making no further inquiries and getting yourself ready as best as you can. Fixing your bodice and giving your scar a quick look, you finally hear the doorbell ring after a few long minutes, followed by Blaise’s deep voice greeting his girlfriend. You give the couple a few seconds to smooch - if you will, before walking back to the living room.
Blaise grins when he sees you, he’s wearing a sleek black suit with its first two collar buttons undone - you expect no less class from him.
“Happy Christmas!” you chime, pulling him into a hug and squeezing him tight just enough so you can whisper in his ear. “I hope you picked out the second ring, Zabini.”
Blaise swallows thickly before laughing, you know this because you physically feel him start to sweat. “I swear I did, don’t worry I have a plan.” he winks after letting go.
“I knew you were going to say that,” he loops an arm around Aleyna’s waist and pulls her by his side. “Only the best for my girl.”
Aleyna gives you both questioning looks.
You quickly clear your throat, “Anyways, let’s go before the serenading and the rose petals start.”
The three of you finally leave, the walk down your apartment building feels way too short, and the moment you exit you’re hit with the wonderfully chilly Christmas air.
For a moment, you forget where you’re going.
Lights are hung up everywhere, across shops, tangled through trees and some floating in the air. You can’t see the night sky, Diagon Alley has one of its own, adorned with radiant moons and luminous stars just bright enough for people to navigate themselves through crowds with zero accidents. It feels breathtakingly overwhelming.
Glass ornaments are charmed to fly across, a special show prepared by Madame Mulkin, and Mr. Eyelop tuned in by letting out a few snow owls rest around random trees to add to the warm atmosphere. There’s flavour wafting around the air, you inhale again to identify it better.
Speeding your way through - it hits you, gingerbread and chocolate.
You clutch your bag towards your chest, suddenly you feel disgustingly sappy. Though, you are in public so you decide to shake off that small warmth threatening your heart and continue walking towards Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes.
The walk towards the shop feels too short again, you almost check your watch to see if Hermione’s playing with the time turner again.
You almost turn on your heel, dump the bundle of presents you’ve bought on their front door and leave. You can, in theory, you’ve separated from Aleyna and Blaise midway through and you can just run and never look back.
Tough luck, when you walk through the generously decorated shop and up the stairs, you’re disappointed to see their flat door wide open.
You stare at it, it feels too inviting. Frank Sinatra blares through the walls, you can smell hints of incense, trailing through your nose and tickling you, causing you to sneeze. You were always sensitive towards smells, and it never bothered you until now.
“Bless you!” George Weasley appears, rounding a corridor and greeting you with open arms into his neat dress shirt. He hugs you like you’re family, and if you weren’t holding a sack like Santa Clause with his your jolly ass hanging on by the mere piece of fabric of your dress you would have hugged back.
“Thanks, Happy Christmas George.” you smile when he takes the sack from your hands and weighs it with raised brows.
“You didn’t have to buy anything ____!” he pats your shoulder, hand trailing to your lower back to navigate you inside. “We are the gift givers, you’re our guest.”
You chuckle, walking through the long entrance corridor, “Of course I’m getting gifts you quack.”
George scoffs, “Using my words against me now are we?”
When you gaze up at the famous joke shop as a little civilian in the streets of Diagon Alley, you don’t expect to catch the sight of a flat this large. You knew it was sizable since two grown men somehow fit and live there, but you underestimated just how successful Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes was.
The floors are wood, clean with even several shoes stepping around, chattering with wine glasses in their wobbly hands. A bulletin board hangs next to a quidditch rack filled with different kinds of equipment - old and new.
Too entranced by the cozy interior, you don’t bother stealing glances at the bulletin board. The kitchen and living room are connected, yet they still somehow feel like completely different rooms. The den is lit up by a brick fireplace, lightly crackling and making the atmosphere all the more comfortable. The soft fur (faux you hoped, though Mr Weasley did have a muggle hunting rifle phase which you thoroughly discouraged) carpet tickles your ankles and you have to hold onto George’s arm for support
“Bevvy?” he offers you, holding out a pint beer glass and you shake your head, admiring the apartment further.
Most couches are leather yet they still look comfortable, the kitchen is big but not obnoxiously so, you can hear the clinking of a foosball table - commotion makes sense in their apartment - the wide living space narrows through a corridor, leading to what you assume must be bedrooms.
You’re glad Fred and Eva broke up, because you decide then and there that you’re going to visit the twins everyday despite your history, just to step into this apartment again.
“____!”
Angelina’s sweet voice causes your unease to vanish in an instant and you crush her in a tight hug.
“Merry Christmas!” you smile, looping an arm around her shoulder and letting her guide you through the flat. “You changed your hair!”
Angelina nudges you with her hip, “Thank merlin you noticed, George is clueless.”
“Oh? George? You never told me - Hey Cho!”
You’re cut off by several familiar faces greeting you and telling you to make yourself comfortable. And you do, right next to Hermione and Ginny, two pregnant and fierce women that keep bickering with their husbands because of their weird cravings.
“I’m with you on this one Gin’!” you snort, eyeing Harry. You have a wine glass in one hand and the power you hold makes you feel too confident. “If the woman wants sausages marinated with toothpaste, she’s getting sausages marinated with toothpaste!”
Harry grumbles, “Will you please stop fueling this!” he protests, downing his drink and banging this on the table. “Look sweetheart, you wanted onions and mustard just a second ago so I got you ‘em, what made you change your mind?”
Ginny bangs her fist on the coffee table, in addition to Harry’s outburst. It seemed everyone was banging stuff on tables, so you do too.
“You think I know? Sod off or get me my toothpaste!” Ginny yells, banging another fist after you.
Harry kneels down next to the foot of the couch and holds his wife’s hand, gently massaging her knuckles. “We can’t get you toothpaste,” he says calmly.
“Why!” says Ginny, banging another fist.
“I think you know why,” says Harry.
“Stop damaging my property.” says George, materializing out of thin air.
You feel bad for Harry, you truly do but it only lasts for a second because this is even more entertaining than watching Aunt Muriel try to play foosball while shouting ‘Come at me you haired back marys!’
You’re enjoying yourself, the buzz, the warmth, the scent of fire. It’s comfortable and not at all like a party. It’s as if you’re visiting your friends for thanksgiving, homely and welcoming.
Though, the first crack forms when you see Fred, eyeing you from the small bar of their kitchen.
Dressed in navy slacks and a red, turtleneck sweater, he leans against the counter with a glass of Firewhiskey clutched on his big hand. He swirls it as his lips twitch, keeping his gaze set on you. His hair falls on his eyes, mostly pushed back but how strong hair gel can really be?
He looks good, way too good for a party. But it’s not the outfit, it's his entire presence. The way he holds himself, acts, speaks - shit, it’s attractive. He can do anything and he’ll always have that charismatic charm, it makes you feel envious, not to mention incredibly horny.
It’s Christmas, it’s a sacred holiday. You can’t let Fred sexy Weasley get to you, no matter how unapproachable and out of your league he looks.
You’re the bigger person - apparently - and you decide to greet him first.
You don’t know what compels you to do this, but it must be quite a strong force because you feel yourself start to quiver when you abandon your place on the couch. It’s so strong that your wobbly legs carry you while you push through tipsy friends and hold you up all the way to the kitchen area.
“Merry Christmas.” you croak, pulling him in a quick hug which he returns happily.
“Merry Christmas yourself.”  he smiles, gaze drifting lower to your dress only for a second before he swallows.
His signature cologne that you’ve engraved deep in your head this past week bursts out again. You smile softly, relishing in him.
“You look,” he seems to be giving much more thought on whatever he’s about to say, he settles on; “Beautiful, you’re, uh - the dress.” he finishes lamely.
“Oh,” your face falls. The dress is beautiful, not you. Of course. “Thank you, I would say you don’t look too bad yourself but that would be a lie.”
Fred raises a brow, putting his wine glass on the bar with a clink before slowly turning on his heel. “Aw, cheers love.” he says casually, “Wore it for you,”
You raise both your brows, “Is that so?” you fight a grin.
“This little number is my lucky charm.” he smirks, pulling on his shirt. “Made women fall at my feet back in the day, maybe you will too.” he finishes, more bashfully than before. His cheeks are tinted pink and, now, for the first time, you feel clueless.
Your heart stutters when you speak, “Trying to butter me up Frederick?” you say shly, nudging the tip of his shoe with yours.
Fred winks. “And what if I am?” he suddenly straightens, arms folding together. His head bows as he continues with a smile, “I’m joking, got this a week ago for the party.”
You fight the urge to smile, “Ah, so not the chick magnet.”
“Well,” Fred laughs, “It’s still very wolfish.”
“Whatever you say, big ole pussy cat.” you pat him on the shoulder.
Fred scoffs good naturally, “Ah, you hurt my pride ____.”
When you don’t say anything, his gaze falls on you. He takes the time to look at you, really take you in and it makes your efforts feel appreciated for once. He takes a deep breath, head careening left for a moment.
“It’s not just the dress.” he rubs the back of his neck, eyes falling on your scar. “You really are beautiful.”
Your hand immediately flies to your brow, tracing a finger down the gash. It’s not as noticeable anymore and your hair grew back - thankfully - but the knowledge that it’s still there, parading itself to everyone makes you feel much more self conscious than you should.
Fred’s hand closes over yours and you freeze. “You might not think so, but not only is your scar a wicked bedtime story, it’s very attractive.”
Your ears feel hot, “You think I’m attractive?”
It’s a nice compliment - especially when it comes from a man like Fred.
“Do I think you’re,” he gasps, giving you an incredulous look. “Of course you’re - ! I mean you can’t be asking me that - are you, gah!”
A chuckle bubbles from your throat. It’s quite amusing watching Fred Weasley struggling to speak, clearly embarrassed. The knowledge that you made him this way, you were sleeping like a baby tonight that’s for sure.
“Look, ____. I actually wanted to tell you something really important.” he fidgets with his cuffs.
You furrow your brows, “Of course, what is it?”
“I used to, well I think I still do because it never truly went away but - okay, this is harder than I thought.”
You chuckle nervously. “Fred, you’re freaking me out here.”
You hear him mutter something along the likes of what’s wrong with me, until he speaks again.
“What I meant to say was, I wan-“
“Oh my god, ____, Fred!”
When you left your apartment a few days ago, your mind didn’t calculate the outcomes of meeting Fred Weasley.
The impact is so strong that it causes your past to - not flash, because this is painful - slowly start playing before your eyes, like a play you have to sit through because the seats were expensive, and the star of the show, the star of your own life is standing right in front of you.
She’s wearing a gorgeous, gold cocktail dress. The costume design is delicate, it’s the type of dress you flutter your fingers in (the fabric is ticklish and soft, you just had to touch it) before moving onto the next. The rack is full of other suitable options, because you know you can never wear a dress like that.
But Eva can. She was always gorgeous, you couldn’t compare.
Fred’s eyes are wide, the way he’s tugging on your dress makes worry wash over you. “Eva? Erm - who invited you?” His words sound more bitter than he intends them to, or at least you think so.
“Oh, is that how you treat guests around here?” she fucking giggles, playfully slapping his shoulder.
You can’t tell if she’s purposely ignoring you - you’re standing right there - or just forgot your existence after seeing Fred in those pants because sweet merciful heavens.
Fred shifts uncomfortably, “Right sorry well, Merry Christmas!” he’s back to normal, addressing her as he addresses anyone else you can’t help but smirk.
Of course, you immediately jump on this opportunity. Eva may have ruined most of your childhood, she may currently look gorgeous - mockingly so, but you’re not kids anymore. No matter how insignificant you feel, you still have your pride to protect.
“Merry Christmas,” you add, jumping forward. “How long has it been?”
Eva’s expression turns sour, though she conceals it quickly. “____! Oh I love your dress.”
She doesn’t wish you a merry christmas.
“Happy holidays Freddie! Where can a girl get a drink around here?” she squeaks? You’re not sure, her voice is too sweet and you don’t know how to act.
Fred grins, “Right there,” he points to a corner far away from the kitchen. “Lee’s in charge of drinks, I’m sure he can hook you up with something.”
Eva ponders, pausing for a beat. She’s expectantly staring at Fred, though when he shows no intention of accompanying her she gives you a menacing look and leaves.
You didn’t expect a big reunion because you saw Eva a few months ago at the hospital, you had sprained an ankle while training with Ron, and she tried to heal you before the Head Healer cut in and told her to take a walk.
Fred’s weight relaxes as soon as Eva’s out of view, it doesn’t take much to know something happened between the two - it wasn’t a harmless breakup like Fred had told you. You don’t push it though, if he wants to tell you he will.
“Well that was,” you say, and he hums in response, swirling his drink in one hand. You watch the gold hue with him for a moment. “Interesting.”
He snorts, “She drops by every Friday to give me green apples. I hate green apples.”
“How long did you guys date?” you can’t help the words that tumble out of your lips.
He stares at you for a moment, you swear his lip almost twitch in a smile before he clears his throat. “Three years, I thought I loved her for a year.”
“Well what changed your mind?”
Fred looks at you like you just asked the dumbest question a joke shop owner could hear. “You, daft idiot, you did.”
“Wha-” you stammer. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
Fred groans. “I need a drink.” and with that, he leaves towards where Eva previously walked on her precious Chanel heels. Leaves you alone.
It wasn’t like you called the man's family a disgrace and cursed his entire bloodline. Confused, you decide that maybe you need a drink as well to survive this night.
Everyone you had talked to so far ended with a disagreement, except George because he probably felt bad for you and your huge red gift sack. Embarrassment fills your cheeks as you walk towards the beverage table, you shouldn’t have come tonight.
The cherry on top gets dropped on the shit sundae when Eva Burke bumps into your shoulder and causes you to spill your drink.
“Oops! Babe I’m so sorry,” She pulls a red cloth from the glass table filled with different types of intoxications and rubs it on the fabric of your dress, further ruining it.
Embarrassment turns into frustration, this turns into pure anger. You see red.
You snatch the cloth from her hands and lightly push her forward, Eva dramatically - and very theatrically - falls on the ground with a yelp.
“Oh get up!” you hiss, throwing the cloth on the ground.
Eva scrambles to her feet, holding her right ankle with dainty, perfectly manicured hands. “Oh, now we’re turning to violence are we? Some things never change.”
You let out a frustrated grumble, stumping your heel on the ground. “I really don’t have time for this Eva.”
“We’re just talking babe, I don’t understand why you’re so upset over this.”
“I’m not upset, I’m tired.” you sigh.
Suddenly with her magically healed ankle she trudges forward. “Is it the dress?” she pouts, bending down to eye the splotch on your chest. “I can pay for it, say...two sickles?”
Your eyes narrow, “How about this, you show me how your career is going and I’ll decide if you can afford a wash.”
Eva barks out a laugh, “How about this, I’ll show you a family picture album.”
Gasping, you hold back the urge to slap her. You never expected Eva to stoop this low, and you know you shouldn’t be upset over it but it hurts. It hurts how easily she can use your family against you with no remorse.
Beyond pissed, insulted and done with tonight, you pull out your wand and get ready to apparate. This time it’s not to run away, nor do you feel like a coward. You feel tired, using your palms to press into your temple and relieve your throbbing headache.
Eva grips your wand and tries to pull you forward with failed force. “Let’s get this straight, Fred’s not interested in you.”
“And you think he’s interested in you?” you laugh, “You broke up remember?
Eva flings her long hair back, “And I’m gonna get him back. No one breaks up with me.”
“So, you're still a narcissistic bitch.” you smile.
“And you’re still pathetically clinging onto whatever I touch.” She takes a step forward, and it hits you then and there that you aren’t going home sooner or later. “Wanna know why we broke up?”
You hold your breath, her perfume is too sweet and you can’t process her words.
“He caught me cheating.” she smirks. “And he still begged me to stay, after all that.”
Your nostrils flare, and you’re about ready to punch her. You’ve never seen someone so prideful, so proud to have done something so obaminable. But it doesn’t surprise you, you pity her.
“Some loser from the bank.” she mockingly wipes a nonexistent tear with her jeweled wrist. “See, that’s the difference between me and you ____. “
You almost scream bloody murder. “Oh do enlighten me.” Your voice is weirdly high pitched but you don’t seem to care.
“He begged me, not you. He’ll never want you. You’ll always end up with the leftovers ____, accept that.” she hisses, taking another step forward.
You don’t know what you’ve done to the woman standing before you with nothing but red fire in her eyes, she looks ready to pull out your hair follicle by follicle, yet it makes you smirk. With a shit eating grin on your face, it hits you. “I knew it.” you laugh.
Eva stutters, “What?”
“Why you’re actually delusional to think he’s taking you back.”
“Oh but he will.” she protests, stomping her heel.
“No, he won’t.”
When you see Eva stay quiet, you continue. ”You grew up spoiled rotten, your parents love you, hell my parents love you, you always had the most friends and always got your way.”
She smirks, you’re tempted not to continue but years of pent up anger is ready to burst through your chest. “Yeah, jealous are we?” Eve mocks, and you quiver as you speak. Stating the obvious doesn’t hurt you anymore.
“No, because you grew up thinking everyone will love you, no matter how wrong you are, or what horrible things you do, you’ll always think that people won’t stop being by your side.” you shake your head, tutting. “But you’re wrong. I guess that’s what too much love does to you - you think a simple sorry will fix what you did? Because no, it won’t.”
“Oh stop it, Fred wants me back, it’s painfully obvious.” Eva speaks, but she doesn’t sound sure at all.
“I’ll make it clear for you.” you smile. “Fred won’t take you back for cheating, you won’t get a second chance in your career, and you sure as hell won’t be getting an apology from me.”
By now, you don’t care who's listening, because they are. Oh, they’re eating this kitty fight up like free dessert Monday at Fleur’s. Your childhood friends are watching you with intense, widened eyes. And somehow, in a cruel, wicked way, you feel satisfaction. The harsh words slipping out of your lips like nectar, in comparison to the way they slap Eva across the face fills you with nothing but disgusting satisfaction.
Sure, it’s immature and yes, you could’ve worded everything much better to be even more impactful, but the way her eyes are bloodshot and vengenceful, it’s enough for you.
Eva grits her teeth, and you know she doesn’t have much to say. “I don’t need an apology from you, ____.” she speaks, and her next words cause you to freeze, because no matter what wrong doing, she’s still right. ”You’re right, I might not be forgiven, but in the end I will always be better than you. People will always favour me more and you can never change that.”
You try to lunge forward, teeth gritter. With harsh impact, you topple backwards. Strong arms are wrapped around your chest, holding you back from gouging Eva’s eyes out with the toothpick from the martini glasses.
“Nice weather we’re having,” Fred says, a deep rumble coming from his chest and against your back. You fight the urge to shiver, though you’re way too angry to be thinking of how good he smells. “Why don’t we sober up sweetheart.” he asks you, whispering.
“No!” you shriek, struggling to move forward. “This isn’t over until I break her nose!”
Eva laughs, “Oh come at me, babe! Let’s see what a traumatized neglected child can do, yeah?” her eyes flash.
A deep, growling of distress leaves you. “Oh let me go! Let’s see what a filthy adulter can do!”
“I didn’t mean to cheat you know!”
You groan, “Heaven’s above let me go Fred.”
Eva takes two steps forward before Lee grasps her arms. “But these things happen for a reason!” her shrill voice causes you to wince.
“Yeah, you!” you cry.
Eva shrieks, lunging forward in an attempt to reach you again, and at that moment Fred seems to have about enough.
“Alright, that’s it.” His stern voice causes you to flinch, muscular arms still holding you close to his chest, he yanks you backwards and starts walking towards the corridor. “That’s enough with the both of you, Lee take Eva outside, get her some fresh air.”
——————
Fred has the decency to take you to his bedroom rather than toss you outside like he had done with Eva.
If the situation was any different, you’d be over the moon right now. Alone? With Fred Weasley? In his big bedded, fireplace occupying, additional bathroom having bedroom?
Said situation did not have you sitting on a leather rocking chair, big mug of coffee in hand while Fred lectures you like a parent. Actually, you wouldn’t know.
You’ve been quiet for the past fifteen minutes, too scared to say anything and anger him further. You knew how much this party meant to him, and you had ruined it with your childish, pent up jealousy. It wasn’t just you per say, but you had let Eva get to you.
“Can’t the two of you act your age for one fucking second,” he groans, hand propped against the brick fireplace. “I know how infuriating she is, but you-” inhaling sharply, he strides towards you. “Say something will you?”
“Why didn’t you tell me she cheated?”
Fred’s expression softens. “What?”
You gulp, you shouldn’t have brought it up when he was agitated, but you can’t listen to him while the words echo around your head. You feel awful, insensitive, anything else to call yourself that makes you feel better towards your lack of judgement. “She cheated, you didn’t tell me. Why?”
Fred pauses, after what feels like a seconds he bends down on his knees in front of you while you watch him, engrossed.
“Been waiting for you to bring it up.” he chuckles, his smile disappearing in an instant. His ginger locks hang in front of you and you realize that his shampoo, like the rest of him, smells amazing. You fight the intense urge to card your fingers through.
“Merlin, I just,” he meets your eyes. “I felt ashamed.”
Suddenly standing up, your hands flail. “Why?”
Fred stands up as well. His stance alarms you, arms wrapped around himself, brows furrowed and defensive. “Not ashamed because of you, because of myself.”
You take a step forward when Fred indicates that he’s going to continue. “I thought you were going to judge me. Bloody coward, can’t even break up with his cheating girlfriend.”
You scoff, “Fred, I’ve known you since I was eleven. Sure we had some tough times but do you really think that low of me?”
Now he scoffs, it’s nothing short of mockery. “Tough times my arse. You avoided us like the plague, ____.”
“I had my reasons,” you raise your voice, wincing slightly and it only fuels Fred’s anger.
“Proper liar you are, you didn’t even write, or even just explain why you suddenly walked out.”
You don’t feel ashamed for what you did, it was for your own good. Though, Fred’s right. You never gave a proper reason other than those childish insults at Hog’s Head. But now, with your head banging, you can’t think logically.
“Again.” you grit your teeth, words spilling between like venom. “I had my reasons.”
Fred quickly stalks towards you, enough so you can reach a hand, grab his jaw and smash your lips against his. But you don’t. “Excuse me for not giving a rat's arse about your reasons, do you know how worried I was!”
His words pull a small gasp from your lips, you refuse to believe him. “If you were so worried, you could’ve spoken to me all those years. How about that summer huh? I stayed over.”
“But I did speak to you!” Fred shouts, and your fists clench. “You were a bitch to me, remember?”
Your groan is filled with contempt. “You take that back!” your fist lifts to smack him on the chest, and you curse his overwhelmingly hard and attractive biceps. Shit, you really shouldn’t be feeling like this during a fight.
“You wanna know why I did all that?” you cry out, tears ready to strain your cheeks but you won’t forgive yourself if you cried in front of him.
“Oh do tell?” he seethes, grasping your fist in a quick motion and holding it beside him before you can smack his chest again. “Merlin woman keep your-”
“Because I was in love with you, you dickwad!”
Fred freezes - second time that night.
Your heartbeat pounds against your chest, you feel vulnerable. Oh so vulnerable and stupid, you shouldn’t have said it.
Fuck fuck fuck.
You should have just kept your stupid mouth shut, dragged your stupid ass back home and took a stupid shower.
But it was too late.
Fred takes a slow step back, continued by several until he’s on the other side of the room with his arms propped against a wall, head hanging low. He’s breathing heavily, you’re finally crying.
“So you aren’t going to say anything?” you yell, stomping your heel on the ground. “Do you know how hard it was for me to watch you and Eva all those years, you wouldn’t even look at me.” you choke on your sobs, remembering everything. The painful memories, the emotions hit you like the Ford Angelia with Ron behind the wheels.
“The Yule Ball, I saw you two together. It hurt so much and I cou- umpfh”
You almost swallow your tongue.
Soft lips, those are the only words writing out in your mind. Fireworks erupting around the letters and causing shivers to run around your entire being. Taken aback, you can’t move until your mind processes that Fred Weasley is kissing you.
Fred groans, opening your mouth with his and grazing his tongue against your bottom lip. It’s so gentle that you doubt you feel it, until his hand grips the back of your head and presses you against him harder. Now you can taste the wet, warm feel of his tongue against yours, the certain flicks of the tip gracing your own.
He pulls back only slightly, panting against your lips and causing your breaths to intermingle intimately. “The Yule Ball,” he starts, going back in for another, hurried kiss.
“She told me, you - closer.” He yanks you in by your waist with his other hand, palm gripping your ass and kneading it with vigour.
“Told me she saw you with someone else,” he pulls you closer when your hands wrap around his shoulders. “It broke me ____.”
“Fred,” you sigh, gripping on his sweater tighter.
“That’s Freddie for you, love.”
Heat curls in your lower belly. His lips are on yours again, begging you for something you didn’t quite know yet. “Freddie,” you chant.
“That’s right.” he chuckles lowly, his rumbling voice against your chest.
You merely shiver, latch onto the tufts on his neck and anchor him lower to your lips until your lungs are overwhelmed with nothing but slow, languid kisses. Fred kissed really good - oh who were you kidding, he was the best kiss you’ve ever had. It’s addictively so, and you chase his lips when he pulls away.
“I,” he breaths, whispering. “I was so devastated by what Eva told me,” he hugs you tighter. “I loved - still love you so much, I didn’t know how to cope.”
“You love me?” Now, there’s more tears. You aren’t sure if they’re of pure joy, frustration or the ache between your legs. “For how long?”
“Since third year,” he murmurs against your cheek, breathing in your scent and shakily exhaling. “I still wear the bracelet, never took it off.”
“I saw,” you nuzzle your head in his chest, your heart feels like it’s about to burst. “It made me so happy, I thought you would have lost it by now or something.”
“Oh Flower, there you are hurting my pride again.”
The nickname knocks all the breath out of your lungs. You only hug him tighter, not daring to mention that throughout these years you flinched whenever someone said flower, or how you simply refused to visit any flower shop. Yes, it did cause problems during holidays and of course, funerals but at least your Disney gift cards contained sentiment.
“I wasn’t with anyone during the Yule Ball.” you mutter.
“I know.”
“Then why didn’t you come back?”
Fred shivers. “I didn’t know back then, Merlin if I had…”
“You’re an idiot.” you chuckle, hurriedly wiping away the drying tears from your cheeks.
“That’s right,” Fred rasps, pulling your face towards his. “I’m a stupid, stupid prat.”
That was, if the loud countdown roaring outside Fred’s bedroom door didn’t ruin the most pleasurable lips you were going to taste - yet again.
Your eyes widen, Fred whines and pulls you back into his arms but you’re already rushing to the closed door. “We’re missing the count down!”
“Oh come one,” Fred steps behind you, hand over yours to grip the knob. You struggle under his hold and try to turn it. “I’ll make you count, hop on the bed, love.”
You have to gulp down nothing but air to keep yourself at bay. God, yes, you would have shouted, stripped naked and let him have his way with you.
But you can’t, not with your friends right outside the door, slightly tipsy and merrily counting down from ten. Speaking of, they’re nearing seven - you have exactly seven seconds to push Fred off and throw yourself outside.
Six seconds until you turn the knob and ignore Fred’s protests, five until Harry and Ginny throw their arms around your shoulders, four until George decides not the comment on you and Fred’s flushed appearance, three until Fred does, two until you’re suddenly pulled forward - one, Fred’s kissing you in front of his friends and family.
Fuck.
It was that one, long second that Ron lets the confetti burst in utter silence while everyone stares at you. It’s a quick yet passionate peck - enough for couples to abandon their new year's kiss and focus solely on yours.
“Finally!” George yells.
Ginny cheers after his brother, “Took you ten bloody years!”
Last of the Weasleys, Ron, gapes. “When did that become a thing?” he mutters, completely oblivious but still happy nonetheless.
If Hermione and Ginny hadn’t swept you away, you would have spent your night glued to Fred’s side, demanding to show him off after all those years of pining.
Your two friends keep asking questions - not overly detailed considering Fred’s Ginny’s older brother. Your lips hurt from smiling by the end of your overly exaggerated story,
The end of the night brings tranquility over the apartment, after presents are ripped open and everyone says their goodbyes, you’re left alone the twins, helping them clean the flat with quick flicks of your wand.
Your watch reads one thirty, you need to leave soon. Aleyna and Blaise hadn’t shown, which only means the proposal was a success. You want to go home and congratulate them, but also spend some time with Fred.
Fred himself is busy wiping pint glasses and lining them neatly in empty cupboards. The both of you keep stealing glances at each other, and it would have been more romantic if George would stop scoffing whenever Fred bashfully smiled in your direction.
“____.”
You hum in acknowledgment, watching Fred’s back shuffle as he washes the dishes.
“Thanks for giving a hand, you didn’t have to.” George smiles kindly, hands tucked in his pockets.
You smile back, “Oh it’s alright.”
“I just wanted to apologize.” he looks down, it isn’t the dorky shyness George casually sports at times, he looks sorrowful.
“For what?” you ask, lips lowering into a frown to match his.
“For being a git all those years back. I was young and a shit head. I’m sorry.” he sighs, leaning his shoulder on the wall.
You chuckle, just the familiar voice of George resurfaces pleasant memories you wished you never forgot. “It’s alright, I’m over it.”
“Really?” he raises a brow. “Because I wouldn’t forgive myself personally. Go on, give me a smack or something.”
“I’m not smacking you George.” you say, you make sure your tone sounds playful to put his mind at ease. “We all had our issues, I probably should have talked to you guys instead of just storming off. Partly my fault.”
George smiles, “It wasn’t your fault, but I’m glad you can forgive me.” He squeezes your shoulder in a way to reassure you, while it feels like he needs it more. You nod fondly.
“And about Eva, we didn’t really like her, y’know. She told us that you needed space, and that we should leave you alone. Just now realizing how rubbish it sounds.”
“Took you long enough.”
He chuckles again, much more genuine like you prefer and pushes himself off the wall. “I better get some sleep,” he glances at Fred, “leave you two alone. And ____, please don’t distance yourself.”
“I won’t.”
Your lie slips so easily.
It’s the welcoming silence that accepts your doubts with open arms - everything was happening overwhelmingly quick, or was it just your fear of being left alone again?
You smile at George when he retires to his room, it’s more of a constipated grimace but George seems to have bought it.
You take this time to finally think, let your protective walls analyse what the fuck happaned in the last five hours because it was too good to be true. Fred couldn’t simply love you that easily, after everything he did. It didn’t explain why he started dating Eva without consulting you first, or how he was with her that night after the Yule Ball. If he loved you this much, why would he bury himself between her legs, abandon you in the hollow halls of Hogwarts? Why would he believe her so easily?
“____.”
Even his voice sounds distant. You can’t tell if it’s him speaking or your past.
“____, darling.”
Nope, that’s definitely Fred. His frustratingly sexy cologne is mocking you like every other amazing aspect this man has.
“Huh?” you snap out of your thoughts. “Oh, yes hello.”
Fred tilts his head to the side, expression softening the moment you speak. “You okay? Something on your mind?”
You tentatively shake your head. Fred sighs and reaches out to stroke your head - you close your eyes but the feeling of his calloused hands never show.
Eyes fluttering open, you realize your fears are coming true. He’s going to tell you that he changed his mind, that he doesn't love you and this is all a big mistake.
“Sorry,” he breathes, cheeks alight. You hold in your breath, ready to face the truth.
Fred’s silent; he’s doing that thing again. The thing where he somehow magically thinks he can communicate with you without saying anything.
“Fred,” you sigh, and his face drops. “Why did you date Eva if you loved me so much?”
There, you asked it. Because if you hadn’t, it would haunt you for the rest of your days, crawl around your heart like an infectious disease. You have enough of those, you don’t want another.
Fred breathing sputters, he looks at you like you know the answer. “Because…it was the closest thing to you I could have. I know it sounds awful-“
“Yes it does, and stupid!”
“I know!” he exclaims. “I didn’t know how to cope, she gave me the affection I longed to get from you.”
Your eyes start to swell, the sentence should make you remotely happy but it doesn’t. “Why did you stay with her for so long?”
“Look.” Fred cups your face, breathing heavily. “Yes, at first it was because I was petty. I thought you were with someone else that bloody night, I was heartbroken and needed a distraction. She was the closest thing.”
“That doesn’t explain the rest-“
“Let me finish!” He sounds earnest, adamant on wiping all your doubts and replacing them with nothing but his love. If only it was that easy.
“I can’t do this tonight Fred-“
“Please just call me Freddie.” he whimpers, kissing your cheek harshly. He stands there, face close to yours like if he let go you would leave.
I“I’m tired, I have a headache and my feet hurt.” you’re crying, again. Nothing out of the ordinary considering you’ve been doing it damn well for the last eight years.
“Stay over the night, it’s late. I’ll make you some chamomile, you always loved chamomile. Please.” Fred begs, lips against your cheek and you can feel the wetness of his own tears. His forehead presses against your temple. “Don’t leave me again.”
Your heart aches, it’s the most painful kind of hurt you’ve been dreading to feel again after all these years. This was worse than the neglect of your parents, the pain that night in the Burrow caused, watching Fred introduce Eva to his mother. This was why you’ve been avoiding him.
Because this time you know what to do, you know what’s for the best and it takes all of the protection you’ve built for yourself to push Fred off. Now, there’s none. Now, you’re standing before him, vulnerable and all your emotions on display.
“Goodnight Fred, merry christmas.”
This time, the door you walk out of feels much smaller and suffocating.
————
It’s ironic how the weather matches your mood for six days.
Saturday; clear skies with a blizzard hidden beneath the clouds. Aleyna’s engagement celebration. Show up with puffy eyes enough to make you blind, sit through nice dinner without crying, eventually start crying when she shows you the ring, act like you’re crying because you’re happy, get snot all over Aleyna’s ring, walk home while the storm finally presents itself and tells you that you’re a miserable piece of shit.
Sunday; small flurry. Spend your day weeping quietly and eating leftover takeout while browsing through your tv cable. Eventually watch a romantic movie, weep more.
Monday; cloudy, soft breeze. Cry more, hug your slightly overweight cat and get dragged outside by Aleyna because she figures out that you didn’t sob in front of an entire restaurant because your best friend was getting married. Sit at her bar, drink beer and stuff your face with cornish pasties while you tell her what happened, until you eventually pass out.
Tuesday; cloudy and dark. Spend your day thinking if you’ll ever be loved again. Regretful, pained, hungover and miserably under caffeinated.
Wednesday; crazy fucking blizzard that catches you so off guard you forget you ruined you chances with Fred Weasley for a moment. Aleyna tells you how stupid you are, you realize how stupid you are, then find out Aleyna is more of a snake than she lets on because she lets you eat a whole pack of doughnuts and that amazing Shepherd’s Pie her mom makes.
Thursday; clear skies. Not a cloud in sight. Your head is unusually clear, maybe too clear because you forget to feed Jambo and take out the trash. You think about running back to the joke shop, tell Fred you love him and that you don’t give a shit about the past anymore. But you don’t.
And now it’s Friday. You’re sitting on your bed, Aleyna in your closet, flinging clothes at you for you to try on because she insists you go out. It’s been a week since you walked out on Fred, again, and perhaps made the biggest mistake of your life.
“Stop wasting away your pathetic life here and do it outside!” she yells, voice getting closer when she comes into view.
“Aleyna, I’m really not in the mood.” you dismiss, laying back on your bed. “I just, should I go to him?”
Aleyna groans, pained. “Merlin forbid, this is the millionth time you ask me. I tell you yes, you don’t do it.”
“What if he says it’s too late, and it is! I don’t deserve-“
“Shut up. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. What matters is that you need to at least try.”
You need to at least try. Aleyna’s voice echoes around your head after she leaves and you're back to your routine. Get up, brush your hair because the tangles bother you more than you let on, (and sometimes your teeth, if you feel like it.) then stay in your pyjamas all day while lazing around your apartment. You’ve started making coffee for yourself again, which is a small step but still encouraging. Plopping down on your couch, you sigh. Jambo follows, leaving fur floating around the air in his wake.
Love To Love You Baby by Donna Summers plays softly in the background, your magic radio is mocking you yet again on how single and sad you are. Especially after how long it has been since you’ve had sex. It’s painful, but you can’t help but think of Fred whenever you try to at least relieve some stress. Of course, this ends with you curled in a corner and crying, it’s frustrating how much he turns you on, and now knowing you can never have him-
Jambo’s loud meow reminds you that you haven’t brushed him today and you slowly get up, striding to the kitchen. You try to relax your mind but your chest feels even tighter with your effort. Your house is an organized mess, you didn’t bother cleaning up throughout the stages of your grief.
You should talk to him. You should go outside, get fresh air, make out a game plan and at least talk to him. Fred’s kind, the funniest, most lovingly stubborn man you’ve ever met. He doesn’t deserve what you’re putting him through. You don’t want to leave things so bittersweet again, you want to keep seeing George, even Fred if time allows.
The pain of your past doesn’t allow you to follow your desires. You hate yourself for it and it’s only a matter of time before you break and go back to your old, quiet self. It’s as if the past got your wrists on lock, holding you back whenever you try to sprint free and love again. You thought Fred would have unlocked the chains and swept you away, but that was before you decided that he shouldn’t.
Gripping the fur comb on your left hand, Jambo watches you walk over to him with big eyes. He looks triumphant, lying on his chubby stomach and readying himself for the brush of his three year life.
Knock Knock
Perhaps this is why Jambo hates Aleyna. You chuckle. “Sorry Bo, give me a minute. She probably forgot her coat again.”
You put down the comb and rush over to the door. Not bothering to check through the peephole, you fling the door open while laughing. “Forgot your condoms or some-“
By the look Fred gives you, you’d think he hits it raw.
“Fred.” you whisper, frozen with your hand gripped on the handle.
He looks haggard, eye bags under his eyes with slightly damp hair sticking out obscenely from the sides. It looks longer, or perhaps it's the way he quickly runs a hand through it and smooths it back. You probably look no different, yet Fred still looks unfairly handsome, eyes dripping with honey and curved bottom lip tucked between his teeth.
Your heart hammers in your chest as you take in his appearance. He’s wearing a simple black pullover with a pea coat messily tucking in the material of his hoodie. You can see the after effects of the snow outside visible on his grey sweatpants, you can’t tell if he came to your house straight after working out for…however long he works out to have thighs like that.
“Can I-“ he gives you a look over and you blush. There’s a hundred different things you want to say, and you merely stay quiet and look at him with hopeful eyes. Coward. “Can I come in?”
You step aside wordlessly. He takes one, big step and he’s inside. Cursing his giant legs, you close the door behind him.
“Wow,” he clears his throat, looking around your apartment. “Nice place.”
“Thank you.”
Fred’s hand twitches when he hears your voice, as if he hadn’t heard it since he was a child. As if he was hearing it for the first time.
As soon as he steps in, his cologne engulfs the air around him - as if he’s marking himself in your house and leaving his delicious after taste. You would tell him he smells amazing but the air between you is too tense to say anything but;
“Fred I-“
“I wanted to-“
Fred breaks out into a smile, and you follow. It looks like a grimace, a hopeful one though. “I wanted to apologize.”
Your heart swells. You know it shouldn’t, because you don’t deserve an apology but the fact that he thought of you makes you feel like you have another chance. Of course you do, the poor man walked over to your house in the middle of a snowstorm. There’s got to be something there, right?
“Fred,-“
“No, let me finish this time.”
You stay silent.
“Been trying to think of the right ruddy words to say this past week but fuck that.” he growls, shrugging off his coat when you offer. “I’m not waiting any bloody longer.”
“I admit that at some point,” he starts, taking a deep breath. “I had feelings for Eva. That’s why I didn’t break up with her. It was well after three months of us dating and I thought I moved on.” you usher him to sit down, quickly following behind. Your legs feel wobbly as he continues.
“That’s why I didn’t break up with her, and I won’t deny that what I had with her was nice, but it wasn’t you. No one ever compared to you ____. I was fine until you decided to stop being our friend.”
“I didn’t decide that, It was something I had to do.” you defend fiercely, sitting next to him on the bar stool of your kitchen island. Damn rich apartments.
“I know that now, but at that time I thought you hated me. I clung onto Eva because I thought - seeing as she was your childhood friend - we’d be friends again.”
You scoff. “Look how that turned out.”
Fred raises a brow.
“Sorry, continue.”
“I started getting over it until that summer happened. It killed me to see you again, that’s when I realized I could never stop loving you. I blamed myself for everything, for fucking up all my chances even though I-“
You put a hand on his shoulder, “Freddie, you didn’t do anything wrong.”
Fred pauses, squeezes your hand and gives you a wide, hopeful smile that punches you right in the heart. His head dips down to rest on your shoulder and he sighs. “You called me Freddie.”
“I did.” you smile.
“I wanted to talk to you, but you kept avoiding me. With the war and everything I just couldn’t, especially after that near death thing.”
“Near what?” You gasp.
Fred chuckles, as if it was no big deal. It makes your chest ache. “I got trapped under a wall, Georgie saved me. Owe him my bloody life. Took me sometime to get over it though, those were the times I needed someone the most.” he takes a deep breath before continuing.
“It was around those times that I found out Eva cheated on me. She was acting dodgy the past few months, and I feel awful for feeling relieved when we broke up.”
“But, that’s not your fault.” you sigh, hand caressing his back gently. He relaxes at your touch and a smile tugs at your lip at this. “You don’t owe Eva a damn thing. It’s okay to feel like that, because I do.”
Fred laughs, a small melodic sound that brings you pride that you pulled it out of him. “Oh, is that how it works now?”
“Yep, I said so.” you give him a toothy grin, and he chuckles, further causing your ruin.
But you can’t let things get too comfortable, not before you’re completely honest with him. Here he is, vulnerable and open, telling you his entire life story and you sure as hell are going to do the same - minus some embarrassing parts.
“Do you,” you clear your throat, awkwardly shuffling on your stool. The seat is uncomfortable and it makes everything all the more frustrating. “Do you want to know what I was thinking before you showed up?”
Fred pauses, gaze lingering over your face attentively. Breath catching, you let him look at you. Directly, fully look at you. He flushes, quickly hidden away by his hand when he nods his head slowly and leans on his palm.
“I was thinking of you.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah, I was thinking if I should just go to you myself.”
Fred takes a quick breath. Shuddering because of the cold, surely, his tone is soft and barely above a whisper. “Why didn’t you?”
“I was scared you’d reject me. I was going to apologize to you, get on my knees and beg for forgiveness until you gave me a second chance.”
“Oh.”
You let him grasp your chin and turn your face towards his, he lovingly strokes your cheek, long finger somehow reaching easily. “I’m sorry Freddie, I love you.”
“I’ve waited to hear those words for so long.” his chest heaves when he responds.
“Well, how much of a let down is it?” you smile, nuzzling your hand in his palm.
He leans in and presses a kiss to your forehead, then to your cheek. “Let down?” he tells you, as if he heard the most obscene thing. “It’s so much better than I could have imagined, and I’m sorry too. I hate myself for letting you go through so much pain on your own. If I wasn’t such a clueless git I could’ve done this much earlier.”
“Do what?”
Fred kisses you. It’s not urgent, nor wanton, it’s soft and tender that still leaves you breathless. He leans his forehead against yours, and you ruin the kiss by smiling but he couldn’t care less. Opening your mouth, you let him flick your tongues together until it’s a sloppy, needy mess.
He groans, and that’s when you know the kiss progressed much too far to stop now. The needy ache between your legs pushes you to hover yourself over him, and his strong arms grasp you by the waist. His lips aren’t a perfect fit, it makes the kiss all the more pleasurable and it’s until he’s slowly walking towards your bedroom with your legs tucked around his hips that you break away.
“Fred,” you sigh when he sets you down against a wall. “I want you.”
He frowns, “It’s Freddie, how many times-“ he gathers your knee in one hand and pushes his crotch against your center with a grunt. “Do I have to tell you?”
You barely respond, clawing at his back. The curve of his thick cock gradually growing, his thighs encasing around your legs feels too damn good and you don’t know how long until you’re fully at his mercy. Fred roughly rolls his hips, a deep grumble leaving him and the stimulation is enough to make you whine. “Again,” you rock your pervis.
“Oh yeah?” he smirks, humping you harder. “You like this? How much? Let me feel.”
You rut against him desperately, trying to get off on the friction Fred barely decides to provide.
True to his word, Fred kisses you again with a groan, this time sparing you no tenderness and sucking on your bottom lip until it throbs. His hips continue to rut all the while his free hand slithers down your clavicle, down the sides of your waist - he makes sure to spread his palm wide to feel you everywhere - until he teasingly snaps the band of your pyjama bottoms. You yelp, relishing in his moans.
“If you like it so much- well shit.” his eyes flutter shut the moment he feels your slick from your underwear. “My love, you’re so wet that I bet I can taste you through your panties.”
If you weren’t wearing your yellow duck polka dot panties this would have been more sexier, and it takes Fred talking about eating you out to realize - oh my god, you’re wearing your duck panties.
“Fred, don-“
Fred has already pushed your bottoms down, revealing the abomination and further causing your face to feel hotter.
“Oh?” he smirks. “Sexy lingerie, all for me?”
You groan, hiding your face in his shoulder while he laughs at you. You feel his chest bob, and you can’t help but giggle alongside him.
“Now, strip.” he commands, and all the humor in the situation vanishes in an instant.
He lets go of your knee and you easily slip out of your bottoms, then slowly said polka dot panties. He grips your thighs, hoisting you up on his hips again and before you know it, he’s stumbling into your room.
His hand is cupping the back of your head, somehow gone there the moments he walked. You wouldn’t know, it’s hard to concentrate on anything else when the heat of his cock between your thighs feels like that.
Fred deposits you on the messily scattered forest you call your bed, and the smell of linen mixed with his cologne is enough for you to grind your hips on nothing.
Fred tuts, pushing a palm flat on your hip. He trails his hand between your legs and palms your pussy, bare. “Babe, you’re dripping. Since how long?”
You whine, “Since the moment you walked through - ah, my door.”
Fred’s eyes glaze over with nothing but dangerous greed. Dipping his knee on the mattress, he manhandles you into submission. “You think you can just get away with saying shit like that?” he groans, eyes fixating on wherever it lands on your body. It’s like he’s trying to take it all in, overwhelmed yet still wanton.
He shuffles to sit against your headboard and pats his large thigh, you waste no time crawling towards him. He quickly grabs your waist before you can approach him. Pulling you against him with your knees propped between his thighs, he’s face to face with your pussy and drooling.
“Such a sweet, pretty cunt.” he breathes, gently kissing your clit. You cry out, knees buckling but Fred’s large palms are flat on your ass and adamant on keeping you up and against his lips. Your center throbs, this is all you have ever wanted - the both of you have ever wanted and Fred has the audacity to tease.
“I know, I know.” He gently sushes. “I need to,” his head leans on your abdomen, desperate. “Need to get you ready for my cock.”
You barely nod, Fred seems to be in battle with himself. You don’t know which side wins, until he starts to suckle your clit with continuous, obscene kissing noises. You grip his shoulder, body bending in half. It feels so good, too good that you can’t hold straight. “Please - Fred,”
Gasping, your pelvis rocks forward. He keeps you still with his muscles digging in your hips, ass, back - everywhere he’s desperately roaming and memorizing.
His tongue finally darts forward - you knew that goddam tongue would be what did it - you nearly collapse, melting forward. It’s wet and warm and god - almost what you imagine his dick might feel like if it ever prods at your entrance.
He’s licking with bold, textured strokes. Your thighs are quivering, it’s the sudden brush of pleasure that meets your cunt every other second that causes this.
“Shit,” Fred pulls back, one hand holding your thighs wider. His thumb circles around your entrance and you cry out in pleasure. “My balls feel so fucking tight ____. If I keep this up, I might just come before I can put my dick in you.”
“Then - ahh Freddie!”
“Don’t get mouthy with me.” he smirks, sliding a finger inside. “I knew what you were gonna say before you opened that sweet mouth of yours.”
He fucks you like this, wet squelching noise mixing with your pants and moans. Working you open, Fred curls a finger inside and your thighs finally give out. “Merlin, you’re gonna get it,” he gives you a sweet kiss on the stomach. “I’m just as desperate to fuck you. Look,”
You do look, very gladly at that. He adds a second finger the moment your eyes fall on the wet patch of his bottoms. He’s rutting against nothing, all the while scissoring his fingers inside you - and from the look he gives you, you know he’s imagining what it's like to be inside you.
“Fred!” you gasp, rocking faster until your legs start to jerk and twitch. You don’t want to come yet, want to savor the way Fred’s fucking you with nothing but two fingers and it’s better than any sex you’ve had.
Your arousal pools between his fingers, dripping down his bracelet adorned wrist, all the way down to his veiny forearms. It’s a sight for sore eyes, Fred watches in a trance, gaze half lidded. You can see his cock twitch in his pants and he moans, “Fucking hell babe, look at the mess you’ve made.”
His thumb presses against your center with his two other fingers working, and he roughly drags it over to your clit to press. He’s licking again, slurping noises mixing with the pats of his tongue quickly dragging across your pussy.
That does it. Whining, and with quick breaths you hurtle towards such an intense orgasm that you swear you see Santa himself and his jingle fucking bells. It’s sudden and weakening, you barely register. Fred’s there all the while, desperately licking every drop of his hard work until there’s nothing. He groans and moans, like he’s having his thanksgiving now.
He’s not like a starved man, or any other cliche line you can think of. No, it’s like he has made a deal with the devil and is captured by the dark vitality of greed. He can’t stop, and merlin, do you not want him to.
“That was,” you breathe, taking a seat on his thigh when he allows.“That was the best orgasm I’ve had.”
“And that was the most gorgeous sight I have ever seen.” Fred smiles, it slowly turns into a smirk. The cocky bastard is way too proud of himself. He should be though, it’s been a while since you’ve had sex - if it always felt like this you would have never stopped.
But you know it never feels this good. No, it’s because of Fred. It’s him, and how much you love him, and how attractive he is - how skilled, amazing, passionate of a man he is. He’s perfect and way out of your league but you don’t care because he’s finally yours.
Said man is breaking out in a sappy grin, kissing your lips sweetly to whisper against them. “Get used to it.” He kisses you again. “I’m going to make you come again, and again, and again until you can’t walk.” he’s lowering you down onto your back, hands caressing your thighs.
“Really?”
“Especially now that I know how sweet and tight you are,“ Fred runs a finger through your pussy and you whimper. “How amazing you smell,” he dips down to lazily suck a hickey on your collarbone. “How soft your skin is,” his hands are lifting your waist up to unhook your bra. “How much I’m in love with you.”
Your gaze softens, and you let him undress you, bra after shirt until you’re left bare beneath. He shivers, his eyes are darting everywhere, to the curve of your hips, up your stomach - and finally, the slope of your breasts. He sucks in a breath. “You,” he rasps. “You had this bikini, that summer.”
“Wha- which one?”
“The white one.”
Your eyes widen. “Oh.”
“We all loved that bikini, especially the days when the lake was particularly cold. Your nipples would be crystal fucking clear.”
You should feel embarrassed, fuck you really should but you knew what you were doing when you bought that bikini. That doesn’t stop you from acting clueless though, “Fred you big oa - oh!”
Fred dips to suck on your nipples, mouth wide open and hungry. “From that day onward, I fucking knew your tits were amazing.” he groans, gazing at them for a moment. “ Shit, was I right.”
You feel his clothed cock rub against you as he speaks - and it finally becomes a problem.
“A-ah, Fred. Clothes,” you barely gesture, though Fred understands you quickly. Sitting back on his heels, he swiftly removes his hoodie overhead.
Of course he isn’t wearing anything underneath.
Of course he has abs.
You curse under your breath - Fred’s chest is well defined, as you expected it to be. Well toned pecs, pert nipples hard and on display, golden skin stretching over his abdomen and six pairs of muscles you’d like to mark. He’s lean yet buff, corded well with muscle and now you know where those enthusiastic years of Quidditch have gone into
You reach for his arm, Fred quickly obliges and lets you guide his palm flat on your body. You breathe heavily - you love how you're he’s feeling you up like this. His hand lands on your breast, and he gives it a rough squeeze before rolling off the bed to get out of his bottoms.
“Are you trying to kill me, doing that? Huh?” he rasps, stumbling slightly. He swings his socks somewhere and gets back on the bed. “Is that what you want?”
When you don’t respond, he chuckles. Slowly, he pushes down his boxer briefs. It’s teasing, this motion. But then again, everything about Fred Weasley is.
His cock slaps against his abdomen - that’s how big it is. You feel yourself salivate, pupils expanding at the thought of such a thick, attractive cock inside you. You almost jump forward and sit on it but when you see the angry red color of his cock, the twitching of his head and the pre-cum that drips, it becomes clear how much he has been holding back.
Fred grips his cock and the head gushes slightly, you feel your cunt flutter. “Come here.”
You let him grip your body and settle you on his lap, entrance inches away from the head of his cock. You’re making eye contact, it’s almost intimidating how intense his gaze is. On your heat, breasts and fucked out face. “Merlin, I’ve been dreaming about this for fucking years. Let me,” he breathes. “I should just take a picture and stare at it all day.”
“Why take a picture when you have the real thing.” you smirk slightly.
Fred groans, “Ohh, you’re such a good girl.”
You smile, “Freddie, please get a condom. Flattery won’t get you that far.”
“Damn it.” he smiles jokingly, reaching for your night stand.
“Wait, shit.” you get off his lap and down your bed, legs wobbling a bit as you stride towards your dresser with hurried steps. Fred whines when you leave but you pay him no mind. “Been a while, here.”
Grabbing the pack, you stumble back on the bed and sit on your knees.
“Well, what are you waiting for?” Fred nods his head. “Put it on, baby.”
You rip the packet open and slowly roll it on him, his cock is already wet and glistening enough for it to be quick. Your center pulses with want as you do this.
Fred pushes you down and crawls on top, centering his cock with your entrance. “No more,” he grunts. “Gotta have you now.”
Gasping, you feel him rub against you. He continues to tease, until the tip of his cock finally pushes past.
You cry out and glance down at where his cock bulges, it’s a type of pain you’d love to feel everyday. “A-ah Fred!”
“I know baby,” he whines, pushing further in with a quick thrust. He strokes slowly to work you open. You cry out, arousal gushing out.
“Such a sweet pussy, taking all my cock so well.” he kisses your jaw, feathering his lips around your throat and lazily sucking. “Feel so good.”
It’s true, it feels so fucking good that you can’t hold in your moans anymore. Not that you were trying to, but the desire to chant his name becomes reality when he rolls his hips against your center. He’s so close to bottoming out and the woozy cloud floating in your head grows. “Oh my god, don’t want you to stop.”
The stretch feels so good that you can’t help but clench around him, pain jerking your hips up.
Fred's balls deep in, his chest heaves and his eyes squeeze shut for a moment. He pauses, letting the two of you adjust to the euphoric feeling of his cock inside. ”Why the fuck would I wan’t to stop?” Your insides are throbbing, and you find yourself arching your back every time he gives you a sweet kiss on your chest. “Why would I ever stop. Shit, baby, I love you.”
“I love you too - oh!”
Fred withdraws, then slams into you with such vigour that you scream. Another shameful flow of your juices gush out as pleasure rips through you. He continues this, another harsh thrust into your cunt that makes you arch in pleasure. “Freddie!”
“Just like that.” he grunts, rolling his hips. “Love when you call me that.”
His hand hooks your leg around his waist, and he speeds up his motion, soothing the needy ache you feel.
lt’s dizzying, how good he can make you feel. Like you’re the center of the universe and all that matters is Fred fucking you open with sweet, yet untetheredly rough thrusts. It’s scary how lost you can get in him, and it becomes haunted when he captures your lips in a kiss and lifts your leg up on his shoulder.
“You’re so tight, oh fucking hell. Look at you, my goodness you’re absolutely perfect.” he murmurs against your lips, muting your moans.
“Fred! Oh god - ah!”
Your cries egg him on, he’s ruthless with the way his fingers dig in your ass to slam into you faster. The angle, his thick cock, how he’s biting down on your lower lip, you can barely take in. You feel helplessly at his mercy, and soon he’s fucking you too hard to keep kissing. “Easy, baby,” he coos when you squirm underneath him. “I’ve got you - my sweet little flower. Feel good?”
The question itself is clearly hysterical, your pleasure is etched on to your face and your thighs quiver underneath him. His mouth hangs open, eyes droopy, yet he still wears that infuriatingly attractive smirk. “Yes! Feel so good - ah you cocky bastar - umpfh!”
He drapes your other leg over his shoulder, your breasts bounce as his thrust turns more languid. Your back arches, mouth hanging open. “Oh my god - Fred!”
It feels so fucking good like this, so deep and good and - fuck, everything else other than him becomes a distant memory.
“Ahh - shit baby. Doing so good,” he grunts, his moans turn more high pitched when you meet his thrusts halfways. “Drown me baby, my flower takes me so well,”
Fred’s hand curls around the mattress as his other grips your thigh. He slams into you, stretching you out so good that your orgasm builds rapidly within. With your legs draped over his shoulder, he bends forward further until he’s sucking in your chest and leaving red marks. “OH - Freddie,” you whine, clawing at his back.
“That’s it my love,” he croons, head thrown back yet still adamant on watching you. His hands tangle in your hair, carding through and gripping them hard. “Come on my cock - make a mess of your sheets. Doing so well for me, wanna feel you clench around me.”
His face contorts in pleasure when your cunt does clench, hair draping over his eyes to cover his glazed, blown out pupils. Fred reaches between your legs to sweetly thumb your clit, squeezing it between two fingers and it’s the final straw until you break.
You arch in pleasure, shuddering violently underneath him. Fred’s letting you ride it out, finally gasping and his hands clench around your thigh and the mattress. Your hand finds his, interlacing your fingers together as you messily grind your hips and finally come down. Ropes of hot cum fill the condom around your sensitive walls. You tighten, aching a little from the warmth that you can’t feel directly from the plastic barrier.
Fred collapses on top with panting breaths. His head rests in the crook of your neck, arms wrapped tightly around your waist.
“Well shit.”
“Yeah.” you chuckle breathily. The post orgasm clarity makes you realize; fuck, I love this man way more than I let on. You suddenly feel the need to show him, and yet you settle for tenderly brushing his hair back when he lifts his head.
Fred smiles, grin lazy and sappy. After pecking your lips, he slowly pulls out. You whine from the sudden coldness when he rolls out of your arms, then he grins at your noise of distress.
“Hold on love, be right back.” Fred pulls off his condom, ties the top and tosses it to the trash before collapsing next to you - way more dramatically. His arm drapes over you, pulling you to his chest and pressing a kiss on your forehead. “I love you.”
You sigh, content. “Love you too,” you smirk. “Would love you more if you cleaned me up.”
Fred’s eyes flash dangerously. “Oh?”
“Not like that you idiot!” you smile, gently slapping his chest. “Swish your wand or something, I don’t wanna get up.”
“Hm,” he taps his chin. “Give me a tour of your apartment and I’ll think about it.”
You sigh, propping yourself on your arms. Fred whines and tries to pull you back in but you don’t relent. “Alright alright.”
Rolling off the bed, you rush to the bathroom, ignoring the pulsing soreness in your core. “Wha - come back! What about my tour?” Fred yells after you.
You laugh at his eagerness. “You’re not getting it!”
After cleaning yourself up, you practically hurl yourself in his arms. Fred catches you with something between a grunt and a chuckle, leaning against the headboard and letting you rest your head on his chest. Your eyes lull around, begging to give into your exhaustion. “Close your eyes, flower,” he whispers sweetly, gently running his hands across your hair and massaging your scalp.
The snowstorm outside has gotten intense, the wind howls against your sealed windows yet the world feels much brighter from this morning. It’s hard to focus on anything besides the way your heart flutters, and the feel of Fred beneath you. Snuggling closer, his fingers gently trace around your shoulders.
“Freddie?” you murmur, cheek pressed against his chest.
He hums in response.
“You’re staying over, right?”
Fred peers down at you, his brows are etched together and the concern on his face nearly makes you sob. “Do…do you not want me to?” he answers shakily.
You let out a breath. “Of course I want you to!”
“Good.” he smiles, letting out a bigger breath than you. For a moment, you think you broke the man. “Because you’re not getting rid of me anytime soon.”

Chapter 9 - Chanel or Chopin?
The next three weeks passed in a blink of an eye.  Our conversation after the art gallery was long forgotten.  Any awkwardness from it lasted only a day, and it was all on my end. I went to school and Emily went to work.  If she was home, our evenings were filled with light conversation about our days, and little things to get to know each other.  Each day spent with Emily did nothing to help my mounting feelings.  I thought surely seeing her at home would take away the mystery surrounding her.  I thought maybe if I saw her let her guard down, she would do something embarrassing, and the attraction would dissipate.  Seeing Emily makeup-less and at ease only made my feelings stronger. 
Emily made it hard to forget how I felt about her.  She was just so attentive.  She was always taking care of me, making sure I wasn't stressing myself out with school.  When she was away on a case, she tried to call me every night.  When she couldn't do that, she made sure to call me during my breaks between classes.  Even if we only got a few minutes each day she was away, they were always the best minutes of those days.  I counted down each minute from when she was called to a case to when she returned home to me.
Emily was easy to live with.  Some days, even if she was home, she would lock herself in her office and I rarely saw her.  Some days we read in silence together in the library.  But some days we stepped on each other's toes when we were both trying to get out of the house for work and school.  The first week together was full of awkward bumps in the kitchen, questions about where the coffee carafe was, and the like.  For the most part, we made very small adjustments to incorporate the other into our lives.  It wasn't perfect, but we were working it out.
Emily was really the perfect housemate.  She was quiet, she wasn't a picky eater, for the most part she was pretty tidy, and most importantly, she never cared when I played the piano.  Often, she let me play well into the night.  She said during the day, it was nice to not have a silent home, and at night it was peaceful to fall asleep to.
Emily and I rarely fought.  In fact, when I thought I had failed one of my duties by forgetting about dinner, I thought it would cause a huge fight.  I thought I'd have to return part of my allowance.  One night, Emily had come home but my professor had kept me late in the studio, so dinner wasn't ready for her.  I apologized profusely, but she didn't mind.  She simply picked up the phone and ordered take-out.  And she paid.  I expected since dinner was part of my duties, I would be left with the bill.  But she simply dismissed me with a wave of her hand and a soft smile.
However, when we did fight, it was always about one thing: money.  She constantly asked to take me shopping, wanting to buy me something to see what I actually liked so she could stop guessing.  Because each time she came home from a case, she came home with a cheesy local gift from where she had been and a more serious gift, like a blue Tiffany box.  And if she weren't away on a case, she would still frequently surprise me with flowers.  Every time she came home with an expensive gift, I thanked her genuinely, but always uncomfortably.  Because I didn't deserve all that.  She had already spent so much on me, but she didn't seem to notice or care.  I was only in this for help with school, and she had already taken care of that.  I didn't need anything else.
On a rare Saturday she had off, she dragged me to the mall, claiming she needed things for herself.  She held up a dress that – unfortunately for me trying to make a point – was incredibly cute.  "This would look so pretty on you, Indi."
"I thought we were shopping for you, Em," I pointed out sourly.
She winked.  "I can multi-task."  I would have had a quick response for her, but her wink short-circuited my brain.  In our first few weeks, I thought we were on equal footing with being flirtatious.  Emily soon surpassed me.  She quickly learned what to do and say to keep my brain from functioning fully when around her.  I swore she was doing it on purpose just to get her way.  Unfortunately, it worked.
When we got to lunch that afternoon, I couldn't help it.  I unfairly exploded about how much money she was spending on me.  "Emily!  You have to stop wasting money on me."
As if there weren't a huge volcano about to burst three feet away form her, she calmly looked up from her menu over her glasses.  Her left eyebrow quirked up at me, and my temper cooled slightly.  She was so cute right now and she didn't even realize it.  "And why should I?"
"You spent so much on school this semester," I reminded.  Her brow quirked again.  God I was a goner.  "And that's what you agreed to pay for, but all the rest of this is unnecessary."
She sighed and rolled her eyes.  "How many times do we need to have this conversation, India?"
"I'm just uncomfortable," I admitted.
She reached across the table and grabbed my hand, her thumb smoothing soothing patterns on the back of my hand.  "Why's that?  I thought we worked this out."
"I'm just not worth it.  It's such a waste."  I looked down, embarrassed to have said that out loud.  I heard her chair shuffle and then felt her hand under my chin, lifting it to look into her eyes.
"Sweetheart, I understand you didn't grow up with a lot of means.  And I think it's remarkable what you've done to get to this point in your life.  But just because you aren't used to being spoiled doesn't mean you aren't worthy of being spoiled."  She shook her head as if frustrated and then bit her lip.  "I-" she paused again.  "I care for you, Indi.  And I want to show you how much I'm thinking of you when I come home from a case with a silly keychain from rural Kansas.  But I also want to adorn you in beautiful jewelry because you deserve nothing less. 
"You are so beautiful India Mae.  You deserve all the diamonds and opals.  You deserve to be taken to the nicest restaurants.  You deserve the finest of everything.  And I want to give that to you.  Nothing given to you is a waste.  You hear me?  I am lucky for every second you spend with me.  Let me show you how special that is to me."
Tears welled in my eyes.  I tried my hardest to suck them back in, but one fell down my face.  Her thumb swiped it away, her touch soothing all my fears.  "Okay," I whispered.  Her soft smile crumbled the last of my resistance.  How could it not when it was achingly sweet?  And that's the day I knew I had fallen in love with Emily Prentiss.
______________________________
Emily: I'm taking you out tonight. Wear that burgundy dress we got a few weeks ago. It's a nice event. Eat dinner on your own and be ready at 6:00 😘
Indi: Where are you taking me?
Emily: It's a surprise, angel.
Indi: What kind of surprise?
Emily: The kind of surprise where I don't tell you what it is beforehand. 😜
Indi: 🥺 please
Emily: No amount of pouting is going to work. Though I do think you'll like this date, Ms. Banks.
Date.  She had called it a date.  And it wasn't on the schedule, so I knew it wasn't a planned event I had to go to.  All day I worried about what kind of "date" this really was.  But I dutifully followed her directions; I did my hair and makeup and put on the dress she told me to.
I was waiting downstairs, ready to go at 6:15.  I worried because Emily hadn't been home yet.  How was she going to get ready in fifteen minutes?
Emily walked through the garage and walked towards the stairs, bypassing me completely.  "India?" she called up the stairs.  I giggled and she whipped around.  "Woah, Em."  I couldn't stop ogling her.  "You look beautiful."  It was rare for Emily to wear a dress, but good lord did she look amazing.  Her long, smooth legs were on full display, looking even longer due to her heels.  I idly wondered how they'd feel wrapped around me. 
Instead of feeling her legs wrap around me, Emily crossed the room and wrapped me in her arms.  Though it wasn't unheard of for us to hug, it was rare.  If Emily was going to be affectionate even when no one was around, I wouldn't complain.  "Hi, angel," she whispered into my ear.  I shuddered at the feel of her breath on my skin.  She kissed the top of my head and asked, "How was your day?"
"Good," I smiled at her.  "Though I did worry all day about where you were taking me tonight," I joked.
"Why don't we go find out then, yeah?"  She looped my arm over hers and escorted me to the car.  And thirty minutes later we pulled in the valet line at the performing arts center.  Excitement bloomed in my chest.  I racked my brain trying to recall what was happening tonight.
"Em-" but she was already getting out to hand her keys to the valet.  Emily pulled my door open a few seconds later and I remembered what we could be doing here.  "Em!" 
"Yes?" 
"Are we seeing the National Symphony Orchestra perform Chopin??"  I could barely contain my excitement.
She smiled, "Yes."  I threw my arms around her.  I had no hope of showing a little more decorum.
"Thank you!"
"Shall we?" she asked holding her arm out.  I looped mine with hers and rushed inside.  As we walked into the Kennedy Center, I thought this was spoiling I could get used to.
It was a magnificent show.  I was captivated the whole time.  Though tickets weren't super expensive for students, I had never been to see the National Symphony perform before.  And to see some of my favorite pieces performed was magical, especially from Emily's seats.  I gripped Emily's hand during the whole show, unable to let go.  I needed her to see how much this meant to me.  It meant more than anything from Tiffany's or Swarovski ever could.
I raved about the show all the way home.  I was surprised Emily let me discuss every song and every emotion I felt for over half an hour, but she did so without complaint. 
When we walked through the door, I immediately grabbed a bottle of water and she stopped to stare at me, worry creasing her brow.  I also noticed her picking at her nails.  "Em?" I asked concerned. 
She took a step closer to me.  "Was tonight okay?"
"'Okay'???" I asked astounded.  I walked towards her until I was standing just before her.  "Emily, tonight was one of the best nights of my life.  Chopin is my favorite composer; I don't know if you knew that.  Thank you," I said cupping her face.  I don't know whether it was the fact that she called tonight a date, or that I was a masochist and apparently wanted to set myself up for heartache, but I reached up on my tippy toes and kissed her on the cheek.
It was difficult to pull away.  The way she was looking at me set me on fire.  I felt my stomach flip pleasantly.  "You look beautiful tonight, Indi.  I don't think I told you earlier.  But you do.  You always do."  She leaned down again, as if she were going to kiss me for real.  I felt the air charge between us.  My breath caught in my throat.  She moved infinitesimally closer until she was just a few inches away.  I burned for her to speed things up.  What was she waiting for?
The shrill ring of her phone disrupted the stillness of the kitchen.  We pulled back, startled.  She huffed in frustration, her eyes tightening in anger.  She answered with a clipped, "Prentiss."  After about twenty seconds she hung up and sighed deeply.  "I have to go."
"Now??" I asked in disbelief.  She nodded.  "It's nearly 10:00 pm."
"I know," she said stepping forward to kiss me on the forehead.
"Uhm," I said my eyes closing at the pleasure of having her lips on me.  "Thanks again for tonight."  I didn't want her to go.  We almost had a moment just now, and now she had to leave.  It was so unfair.
"I'll see you in a few days, baby."  She squeezed my arm and stepped around me.  When she disappeared upstairs to change and grab her go-bag, I couldn't help but feel empty.  And once again, I went to bed without Emily Prentiss.

embarrassed ft. matsukawa issei
Tumblr media
wc. 2.7k (???)
warnings. SMUT, not proofread lol, mutual pining (??), friends to lovers (???), cunnilingus lmao, no dom/sub dynamics, well actually dom&sub issei if you squint rlly hard hehe, kinda cute, embarrassed issei <3, also one (1) WAP reference
an. it’s 2:30 am and i have no idea why i wrote this and who for???? i got the idea from a 🦋😳🙈✨ audio and was immediately inspired idk, sorry if it’s bad i lichrally have no idea since i didn’t read it after it was done :p
( ˘ ³˘)♥︎
it wasn’t like matsukawa issei to be embarrassed.
he was handsome, intelligent, and funny, not to mention he never left women wanting after a night with him.
issei was the entire package and he knew it.
beyond superficiality though, he was happy with his life. he had a great group of friends, a nice apartment all to himself and a completely normal job.
yes, being a funeral home employee wasn’t the most glamorous career a person could have but he was happy. besides, it never deterred him from getting a warm body to sleep with which was a win in his book.
all in all? his life was great!
so why did he have to go and screw it all up?
issei blames makki and the dumb flyer for the reason his life went to shit. (maybe he’s being a little dramatic, but let him have his oikawa moment.)
he was minding his own business when his best friend (recently turned enemy) burst through his apartment door with a piece of paper in his hand and a fire in his eyes.
“dude, look at this!” issei rolled his eyes, putting down his casket catalogue and turning to meet takahiro’s gaze.
“why hello to you too. remind me why i gave you a key again?”
“because you love me and because i bring shit like this to you. look!” with another long and suspiciously tooru-like sigh, issei took the crumpled paper from makki and immediately stopped in his tracks.
“makki... what the fuck is this?”
written in large pink letters and a flowery, borderline illegible font was the name, coffee and cunnilingus. upon further inspection and careful reading, it revealed itself to be a little cafe opening up about 10 minutes from issei’s apartment complex who were looking to hire “young, attractive men who are proficient at eating pussy.”
issei could feel his eyes narrow and his mouth drop open in shock as he repeated his question. “the fuck is this?”
makki shook his head excitedly, tapping to another portion of the flyer that matsukawa had not yet read. “no, no dude, just look at how much they’re paying per hour.” issei begrudgingly obliged but the minute his eyes touched the (Massive™) number, he felt a little faint.
it was a lot of money. more than the funeral home was paying, that’s for sure. with that kind of money he could move out of this suddenly dingy seeming apartment and into a nice flat in the city were he’d always wanted to live. maybe he could buy himself a nice watch or even a high-end suit to replace the one from his highschool graduation (aka the only suit he owns). with that kind of money, he could erase his student debt 3 years ahead of schedule and get his mom into a nicer place.
it was these thoughts that clouded issei’s head as he found himself standing in front of a cute looking building, matching the address on the flyer. i’ll only be working part time, he thought as he pushed the door open to reveal an equally impressing interior with curtained booths and a wide variety of coffee on the menu. i’m only doing it for extra money, he thought as he shook the owner’s hand after he finished his successful interview. no one can ever know, he thought as he dressed himself in the uniform on his first day.
thus began issei’s super secret side hustle where he ate women out for cash.
sounds worse when you say it outright but it was just working. he was good at it, the women liked him, and he was making BANK. still, there were challenges. some women refused to bathe before coming and he would have to send them to the restroom to freshen up which absolutely ruined his chances for a good tip. some women would become heavily infatuated with him, believing that they were in some sort of forbidden romance. he learned to turn them down quick and easy to avoid conflict in the workplace which furthered his space as a boss favorite. but his hardest challenge by far was meeting you.
you were one of hanamaki’s friends, having met him at one of his brief stints in retail on his search for a job. he had gotten fired but you both stayed in touch after he left, becoming really close, really fast.
issei had met you first when takahiro had invited you to the biweekly seijoh third-years movie night. at first, he had been pissed as an “outsider” had never been invited before and he was worried you’d ruin the vibe, especially since it was the first time in months that oikawa would be able to join them. makki vouched for you through and through and the other boys were okay with it so you were in. the second he met you, all his fears of awkwardness and discomfort faded away.
you were great.
you were hilarious, pretty, and could keep up with makki’s harsh jokes, tooru’s diva attitude, iwa’s tendency to hit (hard), and issei’s original disdain. by the end of the night, he had completely forgotten why he didn’t want you there in the first place.
from then on, you were a staple in their little friend group. you were added to the groupchat where you balanced memes with spouts of deep wisdom and you were ever so reliable, always there if any of them needed it.
yeah, you were great. that’s where the problems started.
issei’s feelings for you quickly went from platonic to romantic, faster than you can say godzilla. he hadn’t even recognized that he was falling for you until it was way too late. normally, he wouldn’t have a problem confessing to you but because of his newly found ...occupation, he was too nervous. how would you take it that he was basically a glorified prostitute? ok, that wasn’t exactly what he did but still! you’d probably find him disgusting and horrible and leave the friend group forever. then he’d have to deal with oikawa’s senseless whining and makki’s subtle digs, blaming him for your departure. yeah, he wasn’t going to put himself through that so he decided to keep his mouth shut.
too bad he didn’t have any control over makki’s.
you and takahiro had been on a little friend-date at mcdonald’s after you’d had a long and frustrating shift. you just wanted to vent, expressing your general hate for your job and desperate need for stress relief.
that’s when makki opened his (big, stupid) mouth and suggested that you visit a little place called coffee and cunnilingus. you nearly choked on your fries at the title before quickly pressing him for details. thankfully, he had the decency not to expose that issei worked there but he had not done a good enough job convincing you not to go there. not that it would’ve mattered. your curiosity was peaked and your libido was high so why not try out the weird cafe where you let a complete stranger stick his tongue inside you?
it was settled. you were going to go and you were going to get eaten out and you were going to like it!
or at least that is what you repeated in your head as you walked to the address on your phone before taking a deep breath and walking inside.
“hello, welcome to coffee and cunnilingus, how might i pleasure you this afterno— yn?” issei’s eyes widened as they met your equally bewildered ones, the both of you staring at each other in shock.
“matsukawa-san, is everything alright?” a large hand rested on issei’s shoulder, startling him out of his thoughts and forcing him to break (horrified) eye contact with you and move it onto his boss who was now looking down on him menacingly.
“y-yes sir, everything is fine!” he squeaked out, hating the way his voice cracked on his first syllable. his boss looked at him suspiciously but thankfully didn’t press.
“well, since nothing is wrong, take this beautiful young woman to a booth where you will assist her!” the hand resting on issei’s shoulder slowly squeezed, making him wince in pain. the pain was only an afterthought though to the larger implication of his boss’ words. he’s going to assist you. assist as in pleasure. pleasure as in eat you out.
holy shit, you were going to pass out.
apparently, issei had the same thought process as you, his face whitening like a sheet. “m-me? but sir i-“
“do your job matsukawa-san!” his boss cut him off with a forced smile. all issei could do was nod and silently lead you off to a closed booth near the back or lose his job. you stayed close behind him but remained quiet, absolutely terrified of breaking the silence and ruining the bubble you had created.
you finally reached the booth in question. issei gently opened the curtain and motioned for you to get it, to which you obliged and he followed just behind.
the moment the curtain closed, you were enveloped in an awkward silence and tense atmosphere, neither of you speaking or looking at one another for fear of one of you running out. after what felt like hours, you opened your mouth to speak, not realizing issei had thought the same thing.
“so-“
“i-“
you finally made eye contact with him and burst into the laughter, the tension quickly broken. it took a full minute or two for the both of you to calm down, the absurdity of the entire situation finally catching up with you.
“you first,” issei said, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes while fixing you with an intense gaze swirled with an emotion you couldn’t quite place but it made butterflies bubble up in your stomach. you quickly turned your gaze to the comfortable seat beneath you, your fingers playing with the red stitching while you thought of what you had wanted to say.
“are you any good?” your hand flew up to cover your mouth as your cheeks filled with heat, the embarrassment of your words catching up to you. you hadn’t meant to say that but when you opened your mouth to apologize, you were stopped in your tracks by the lovely sound of issei’s full-bodied laughter filling the tiny booth.
you had heard it just moments earlier but without the sound of your own giggles drowning it out, you couldn’t help but think that he sounded beautiful. you basked in the sound as it slowly trailed off back into silence. now it was you doing the staring making issei look off with a red face and a heart threatening to pound out of his chest.
“y-yeah i’m pretty good. you want to try? me, i mean?” his words nearly leave you gasping, your brain working overtime to try and comprehend what he was saying to you.
“only if y-you want to? what do you want issei?” you whispered, suddenly unable to find your voice. you wanted this to be okay for him too; you didn’t want him to be uncomfortable even though you wanted him more than you could verbally express. despite the embarrassment and fear of rejection lingering under your skin, you stared at him, awaiting his answer. a tiny minuscule nod came from him and you internally shook your head. you needed to hear him.
“i need you to say it, issei.” your words, while quiet, were firm and issei felt himself hardening in his uniform slacks. he swallowed in his increasingly drying mouth before opening his mouth to respond.
“i want to eat your pussy. can i?”
shit.
your own voice was stolen by his words and all you could give him was a nod before he was on you.
issei didn’t waste any time falling to his knees, pulling your panties down, and hiking your skirt up to your stomach, revealing your glistening folds to his hungering eyes.
“fuck, you’re so wet,” is all the warning you get before he’s licking a long stripe up you from entrance to clit before he’s sucking the hard, sensitive nub into his mouth. your eyes immediately rolled back into your head, your hips instinctively bucking up into his mouth while a gasped moan of issei left your lips.
if he could bottle your moans and use them whenever he pleased, he would, the sound sending another pulse of arousal to his already hard cock. he was tempted to reach down and pull himself out of his trousers but he denied himself. this was about you; you and your wet ass pussy.
issei continued his ministrations on your clit, circling it with his tongue before pulling it into his mouth while his hand was ready to get busy. it crept up your thigh, sending shivers down your spine until it reached your sopping entrance, two of his fingers teasing the slit before delving in to the third knuckle.
the moan you let out is borderline animalistic as your body sends another wave of slick pulsing out over his hand. he groaned into your cunt at your tightness, his mind only imagining him deep within you while you squeeze him for all he’s got.
the amount of slick you produced made it easy for him to add a third finger, thrusting them in and out while also crooking them upwards in search for your special spot that would have you seeing stars. it took him a little prodding but he knew he found it when your back arched, your hand came down into his hair, and you whimpered out a string of curses.
“that’s it baby, cmon, you’re doing so well, wanna see you come apart for me,” he all but growled against your clit before delving back in with a higher intensity, his desperation for you to come winning out his desire to tease you and drag this out as long as possible.
with his incessant pressure on your g-spot and his lips suctioned around your clit, it wasn’t long before he got what he wanted.
“isseiisseiisseiissei, i’m coming, i’m coming-oh fuck!” you screamed as you clenched and gushed all over his fingers, your entire body caving in with the intensity of your orgasm. his fingers were practically forced from your spasming cunt but they quickly found a place rubbing your nub side to side as fast as possible. the overwhelming urge to pee came over you and you shook your head, trying to push his hand away.
“no, no, give it to me, i know you can,” issei groaned, his eyes locked on your dripping pussy. the pleasure he was giving came to a head at his words and you felt a clear liquid escape from your tired, overstimulated cunt, your mouth opening in a silent moan before collapsing back on the seat.
the sight proved to be too much for issei as he felt his body tense, his own orgasm washing over him as he emptied himself into his boxers. he fell back onto the ground, in shock of himself coming entirely untouched. he’d never done it before but of course it was you that would bring it out of him. a smile spread across his face at the thought, his head tilting back as he laughed, catching the attention of your worn body.
“what’re y’laughing at?” you slurred, cringing a little at how fucked out you sounded but issei didn’t seem to mind, his face glowing while covered in your slick and cum.
“nothing, nothing, but uh, i have a question.” you felt your heart leap to your chest, your mind already racing with the possibilities. he’s going to say this was a mistake, that we’re just better off as friends. oh god, what if he says i stunk? or the worst pussy he’s ever had? or what if—
“want to go and get a coffee?” he asked, the smile still plastered on his face but with an uncharacteristic hint of shyness. the butterflies were back in your stomach as you shyly nodded before allowing him to help clean you up and standing, not missing how he slipped your lacy underwear deep into one of his pockets.
issei’s hand found its way into yours as he said goodbye to his coworkers and boss before leading you out of the cafe, watching you tell an animated retelling of the bullshit that occurred at your job with a warm grin on his face and pink cheeks.
it might not be like matsukawa issei to be embarrassed but if it resulted in getting you by his side? he would do it again and again.

CROWDED PLACES
RATING: R/smut (sex, cursing, some handcuffs)
WORD COUNT: 7.8k
CATEGORIES: roommate!harry, bi!y/n
MASTERLIST |  TALK TO ME | REST OF THE BIFICATHON
a/n: here is my entry for @harrysclementines​​ and i’s bificathon (view them all here)!!!!!! i had prompts 18 and 19 (”Y/N brings home girls and guys (roommate!harry)” and “Harry asks her about the differences in sex between guys and girls”) and here’s what happened. as a bi person i had SUCH a fun time writing this, and i hope you enjoy. named for the BANKS song of the same name. xoxo, love u all my bi angels!
“Are you saying I can just have sex in your bed without you there?”
You grimaced. “Actually on second thought, please don’t do that.”
“Only with you present, I promise.” The words were out of his mouth before he had even processed them, the unabashed flirtation so sexual and clear. It made your eyes widen and you stop midway through the sip of wine you were about to take. He didn’t even know what to say after that—did he apologize? He couldn’t read your face, couldn’t see if you were okay with his words or made you uncomfortable.
“H, are you trying to get me into bed with you?”
The nickname you had for him fell differently in this moment, the sexual context sending blood straight to his pants. “What if I was?”
or
Y/N is bi, Harry’s her roommate and curious
pls reblog and share with your friends 💕
Harry found out you were bi by walking into your shared kitchen and finding a girl struggling to figure out your shared intricate coffee maker dressed in your clothes, her hair tangled around her shoulders.
“Need help?” He asked, walking toward the stranger in his kitchen.
The girl’s head bounced up at the sound of his voice and sighed. “Fuck, you scared me. Uh, yeah, thanks. I was trying to make coffee for Y/N but…”
He chuckled to himself and nodded for the girl to move to the side. “Nice of you.”
“I’m Emily, by the way,” the girl told him. “You’re Harry, right? Y/N mentioned she had a roommate last night.”
Harry flicked some buttons on the machine, fiddled with the coffee filter, and then the machine whirred to life. “Yeah, I’m Harry. Y/N mentioned she was going to some club last night—that where you two met?”
The girl nodded, leaning against the counter. “Yeah.”
Harry paused, not really knowing what else to say over the sound of the coffee dropping into the cup situated below the spout. He had come in for some breakfast and coffee, but he didn’t really want to make small talk with your hookup of the week, if he was being honest. So he decided to table coffee, and instead grabbed a box of cereal from the cabinet and the milk from the fridge and made himself some cereal.
“Nice meeting you,” he said to the girl before turning around and heading back to his room.
“Bye,” Emily replied and with that he left the kitchen, beelining for the safety of his own space.
Settling down into his bed, he thought about the girl in his kitchen and you, obviously still tucked into your bed. You two had never really had the conversation about your sexualities—you’d become roommates last year through an advertisement you placed on Craigslist and had spent most of the year just figuring one another out and becoming friends. The topic had never really come up and he had just assumed—wrongly, apparently—that you were straight, since he only really saw you with guys. Although, to be fair, there were nights that you didn’t come home and he didn’t know where you ended up on those nights.
He didn’t care in the slightest, just intrigued by this new piece of information he had discovered. He was curious, if he was being honest, but he didn’t really know if it was his place to ask you about it. Was that rude? He didn’t really know. He’d never just…found out about his friends’ sexuality like this, usually they told him outright at some point, so he was in uncharted territory.
Perhaps he’d just let you bring it up. Or he’d mention that he had met Emily in the kitchen, and see where the conversation went. He settled on the latter, deciding that would open the discussion up but not be too aggressive. More than anything, he wanted you to feel comfortable talking to him about these kinds of things, and also know that he didn’t mind who you brought home or dated.
So, he settled into his pillows and turned on Netflix, starting up a crime documentary he hadn’t seen yet, and ate his cereal.
Tumblr media
When he resurfaced two hours later, you were in the kitchen with a skillet of eggs cooking, scrolling through something on your phone and sipping on a cup of coffee. You greeted him with a quiet “good morning” and he responded with the same, before going to the sink to rinse out his bowl and place it in the dishwasher next to him. Then he grabbed himself a cup of coffee, adding a dash of milk, and settled in at the breakfast bar.
“So,” he said, making you turn and look at him. “I met Emily this morning.”
Your eyes widened slightly, but then you nodded. “She told me. Said you helped her with the coffee maker.”
“I did.” He took a sip of his coffee and paused, unsure of what to say next. “She seemed nice.”
You stood up and fully turned so you were facing him, your phone forgotten on the counter. “Yeah, she is.”
“Are you going to see her again?”
You seemed a bit shocked by the question, but shook your head. “I’m not really looking to date anyone right now.”
There was the confirmation he’d been seeking—that Emily had in fact been a hook up. “So all the people you’ve brought back…?”
“Are just some fun,” you finished. “Where’s this all coming from? We don’t usually talk about this stuff.”
“I was just trying to figure out if I needed to prepare to have another roommate,” he quipped, and you snorted before turning back around to where your eggs were sizzling in the pan.
“What about you?” You asked him, using the spatula next to the stove to lift the eggs out of the pan and placed them on a light blue glazed plate, one of the ones you’d bought when you moved in and adored. Harry was banned from using them, relegated to the white porcelain ones he’d purchased.
“Sorry?”
You grabbed the salt and pepper and sprinkled a bit on your eggs, then grabbed your slices of toast from the toaster where they were waiting. “Are you looking to date right now?”
He hadn’t been expecting you to throw the question back at him, but he figured you had every right to. He’d asked you, why not share himself? “I mean, if I met the right person I would be. But I’m not like, actively seeking a relationship.”
With a set of silverware in one hand and your plate in the other, you walked towards him, setting your food on the counter on the other side of the bar so you could face him as you ate. For some reason, you loved to eat standing up  and it had never made sense to him. “So you’re not on dating apps and all that? Hinge and that shit?”
He shook his head as you swiveled to grab the jam from the fridge and began to spread it on your toast. “I can never figure out how to talk to people on them. They’re just so awkward.”
You nodded in agreement before taking a bite of your toast. “Meeting people in person is way better. I tried one once and it was so unpleasant. Felt like so much work, you know? Like finding someone shouldn’t feel like a part-time job.”
He chuckled to himself at your observation. “Right? I’d rather just meet someone through friends or something and talk to them, be able to figure out in person if there’s something there.”
“One time I’d been talking to this girl on Bumble for two weeks, we met up, and I immediately was like, ‘fuck I have no sexual interest in her.’ You know? Like there was no chemistry. We would’ve been great friends, but the other stuff? Nada.” You always talked with your hands and even did in this moment, you slice of toast in one hand and a fork in the other.
“What’d you tell her?” He asked, taking another sip of his coffee as you took a bite of egg.
“The truth,” you said, covering your mouth as you spoke and chewed at the same time. He loved how comfortable you two had become with each other, the natural result of sharing an 800-square foot apartment with another person. “And then she texted me like a month later saying she thought ‘We had really good energy’ and wanted to see if I was interested. So I had to tell her again that I wasn’t interested.”
“Shit,” he said. “That’s brutal.”
“Yep,” you replied, popping the p of the word as you took another bite of your breakfast. “So, what are you up to today?”
He shrugged. “Nothing, really.”
“I was planning to go to IKEA to look at a new bed frame and look at all the room set-ups—want to come with?”
It was one of your favorite shared activities, which you had discovered when he had moved in and needed to buy a whole host of new furniture. You’d tagged along since you knew the apartment better, and you’d ended up spending practically the whole day inside. Since then, it was your rainy day activity.
“What’s wrong with your current bed frame?”
You shrugged, picking up your toast and taking a final bite. “It creaks too much. I think it’s just old, so I want something different.”
Harry tried not to think about why your bed creaked so much, and instead told you he’d come with.
Tumblr media
Harry was pushing you around IKEA and frankly you were having the time of your life. Just to piss him off you’d gotten into the cart, folding up your body and leaning against the front of the cart, and he’d just rolled his eyes at you and called you a child before rolling the cart towards the entrance to the store.
You had made it through the bathroom section without much incident, but when you had reached the living rooms you had decided that you simply had to try out all of the couches, even though neither of you needed to buy one. Together you developed a rating scale—firmness of cushions, bounce level, and ability to lay down comfortably. A couple ranked high on all three scales, but none just blew you away, so you jointly decided you definitely didn’t need to invest in another couch for no reason.
In the kitchen department, you both oohed and ahhed over countertops and backsplashes, pointing out appliances you desperately wanted. You tried to convince Harry that you really needed new bar stools, but he wasn’t swayed. However, he did relent and allow you to buy some new spatulas and other kitchen utensils after you told him they were replacements for the current ones, which were two years old at least.
Finally, you reached the beds. Bed after bed laid out in front of you, just waiting for you to try them out and see which one was both sturdy and sleek. You beelined for the first one, sitting down on the mattress and looking up at Harry, who was leaning on his elbows on the handlebar of the cart and watching you.
“Come test it out with me,” you said, patting the bed next to you. “I need to see how the weight of two people feels on it.”
His eyebrows furrowed, but he left the cart and moved towards you. He was dressed in one of his favorite sweatshirt, a black one he’d gotten in Tokyo at a DJ Harvey and Keb Darge party, and a pair of blue jeans with a frayed hem, and white Vans with the pink and blue laces you’d given him for his birthday threaded through each one of the shoes, a beanie covering his curls and his black sunglasses tucked into the neck of the sweatshirt. You adored Harry’s clothes, frequently stealing them which he found aggravating and you loved doing for that very reason.
He settled on to the bed next to you, his knee knocking against yours as he settled back on his hands. “So? Thoughts?”
His eyes flickered over to you. “Seems sturdy enough, but I hate the headboard.”
You turned to look at the headboard, which was just one long piece of skinny blond wood. Upon investigation, you also hated it. “Agreed. Next one!” You scampered over to the next one, which had a wrought iron headboard in black and you quite liked the look of it. The rest of your furniture was black and your duvet was a light blue, so it would fit in perfectly. “What do you think of this one?”
Harry moved to sit next to you and shrugged. “Seems good.”
“The headboard up to par for you?”
“I like it. You?”
You nodded and then looked at him, deadpanning, “You could hook handcuffs through it.”
Harry choked on air, before bursting into laughter at your comment. “Is that a priority for you? The ability to handcuff someone to your headboard?”
“Honestly, yeah. Otherwise what good is it?”
He bit back a smile, and then turned to look at the other beds around you. “Well on that basis, we can cut out most of the beds here. Ones like these are the best, nothing that’s wood.”
“Know from personal experience, do you?” Harry blushed and you poked his side. “Didn’t know you were so kinky, Styles.”
“Right back at you,” he replied. “So what other tests are involved in the purchase of a bed?”
“Well,” you began, pushing yourself higher on the bed. “Mine creaks a ton, so I need to know how much this one does.”
He glanced between you and the bed, and then the number of people around. “What’s your plan? Jump on the bed or something?”
You shrugged. “Maybe. Got a better idea?”
“You could like, try and push it forward and back?”
“Go for it.”
Harry stood up and walked to the head of the bed, grabbing onto the frame and pulled it forward and back—or tried to. The headboard didn’t budge and you watched with a quirked smile. “It’s not moving,” he mumbled. “Maybe that’s good? Means it’s strong and all that?”
For being two 26-year-olds, you realized, the two of you still didn’t know much about furniture. “Probably. But I still think we should do the jump test.”
“I am not jumping on that bed with you.”
“Harry…”
“No, Y/N, we’re in the middle of a store!”
You huffed out a breath. “Fine.” Then, you turned over and got up on your hands and knees and pushed all of your weight into the mattress and moved backward and forth, trying to see if it would creak or sway as you moved. You could feel Harry’s eyes on your form but you paid him no mind, your focus on the task at hand.
Harry, meanwhile, swallowed thickly as he watched you, the sway of your body sending thoughts he really shouldn’t have been having through his head. Did you realize what you were doing? The position you were in and what it made him think of? Probably not.
“I think this one’s actually pretty good,” you informed him, turning over and lying down on the mattress. “Should I get the mattress too? I’ve had mine for like five years. What’s the lifespan on a mattress?”
“Dunno,” Harry answered, leaning his arm against the wrought iron headboard. “Can you afford both?”
You groaned and sat up. “Why on earth did you have to bring up money? I was having so much fun until you got all responsible on me.”
“Hey, someone’s got to have some sense in our apartment.”
“And that someone is you?”
“You’re the one who wanted to jump on beds in the middle of IKEA on a Saturday, not me.”
You huffed out a sigh and pushed yourself off the bed, coming to standing. “Come on, let’s go look at desks.”
“So you’re getting this one?”
You nodded. “It’s the best one for the handcuffs, isn’t it?” He blushed and you walked ahead of him, letting him push the cart after you.
Tumblr media
You spent the rest of Saturday deconstructing your old bed frame and building your new one with Harry’s help. It was definitely a two person job—screwing together the support pieces to the headboard and placing the slats properly, lifting your mattress onto your new bed. By the end of the whole process you were tired, hungry, and a bit cranky, but you had a new bed that you adored. Harry ordered you both pizza, and you opened a bottle of red wine once you’d finished your food, pouring you both a glass.
Harry was sitting on the couch, his sweatshirt long gone, in just his jeans and a black t-shirt stretched across his muscular upper body. In the year he’d lived with you, he’d gained a significant amount of muscle mass, transforming from the more ropey guy who moved in, into this man who looked like a fucking Greek God after a day in the sun. You carried over the wine, handing him his glass and setting the bottle on the table for refills that would definitely occur.
You picked up the remote, anticipating a night of re-watching each of your favorite trashy teen dramas from the early 2000s (yours was What a Girl Wants or the Lizzie McGuire Movie, depending on your mood) when Harry spoke.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Shoot,” you answered, taking a sip of your wine and opening the Netflix app on your TV.
“It might be a bit too personal, so if you don’t want to answer, just don’t—“
“Harry, just spit it out,” you said, cutting him off.
“What’s the difference in sex between guys and girls?” His question was rushed, but you made out every word and it made you choke on your wine a bit.
You set down your wine glass and turned to fully face him. “Like…generally?”
The blush that crept across his cheeks was endearing, obviously regretting the question once it was out of his mouth. “I don’t know. Fuck, forget I asked—“
“It’s fine,” you told him. You considered his question, mulling over the experiences you’d had with both sexes and comparing the two. To be honest, you didn’t spend much time comparing them because they were different in so many ways. “The most glaring thing,” you began, “is that sex with women can just keep on going until one of you like…can’t anymore. There’s no waiting or anything like there is with guys. So it means that it’s really intense for like a long period of time.”
He was listening intently, fingers tight around his wine glass as you spoke. To be frank, you couldn’t really believe you were having this conversation with Harry of all people. “I guess it’s also different because you don’t have penetration with girls—at least, not in the same way. I’ve never used a strap-on with anyone, just like oral and hands, so it means those things are more intense, in my opinion. Also, girls are really fucking good at oral—not that guys aren’t—but it’s just so good.”
“What makes them better?”
“Not better,” you said, “just different. Softer, in my opinion—like their fingers and hands are softer. And they also can figure out what you need faster, or maybe that’s just the people I’ve been with. There’s definitely something to be said for being a woman and knowing what other women need.”
If it wasn’t for the wine in his hand, Harry might not have had the courage to have this conversation. It had been sitting in the back of his mind for ages, before he even found out you were bi, but now that he knew you were you were one of the few people he could talk to about something like this. You were also one of the few people he trusted to have this conversation with and it to not become too awkward. He felt more comfortable around you than he did with most other people, that was for sure. He considered what you had said, mulling the words over in his head. Softer. He understood that—he loved the softness of women when they touched him, their longer fingernails and the kitten licks they spread over his body.
“Why do you ask?” You tucked your legs up, hooking your arm around your knees as you took another sip of your wine.
He chewed on his lip for a minute, rubbing his finger across the exterior of his glass. “I was just curious, I guess. I didn’t know you were bi until you brought Emily back, so I just started thinking about it a bit. I hope you don’t mind.”
“Not at all,” you told him. “I guess I didn’t even realize you didn’t know, to be honest. I don’t really feel the need to constantly be coming out to people, if that makes sense. Especially if I trust that they won’t care either way.”
“It does.” He shifted forward, taking another sip of his wine and mirroring your position. “And I don’t care either way, just so you know.”
You gave him a smile. “I appreciate that.” You fiddled with the hem of your pajama shorts, the old ratty blue ones from Target you’d had since college, before asking the question floating around in your head. “Now that you’ve asked me a sexual question, it’s my turn.” His eyebrows jumped, but he nodded his okay. “What’s something you’ve always wanted to try?”
“Are you asking me about my kinks?” He asked, a playful grin on his face, and your eyes fluttered down in embarrassment. “To be honest, I haven’t really tried all that much—haven’t been in that many relationships where I feel comfortable trying stuff out, you know?”
“You’ve obviously tried handcuffs,” you quipped, and he blushed.
“I haven’t, actually. Just…thought about it, I guess.”
“Well,” you said, the wine emboldening you, “you’re always welcome to try it with my bed.”
He laughed, one of his full body ones that made you smile widely at him. “Are you saying I can just have sex in your bed without you there?”
You grimaced. “Actually on second thought, please don’t do that.”
“Only with you present, I promise.” The words were out of his mouth before he had even processed them, the unabashed flirtation so sexual and clear. It made your eyes widen and stop midway through the sip of wine you were about to take. He didn’t even know what to say after that—did he apologize? He couldn’t read your face, couldn’t see if you were okay with his words or made you uncomfortable.
But then you saved him, giving him a small and flirtatious smile, one he’d only seen you give others, never him. The one where your eyes had a fire to the edges, a slight curve to your pink lips, your tongue dart out to wet them. “H, are you trying to get me into bed with you?”
The nickname you had for him fell differently in this moment, the sexual context sending blood straight to his pants. “What if I was?”
The conversation had taken a rapid turn and it had your skin warming, your brain abuzz. What if he was? You had to admit, you’d always found Harry attractive, from that first moment you met him in a coffee shop after he responded to your Craigslist ad. You had always told yourself it was just normal attraction, the same attraction you had to that boy you’d known your entire life and knew was attractive but never actually considered anything more with. It was platonic. You lived with the guy, for Pete’s sake—you witnessed his messy room and how he struggled to cook fish properly and when he had vomited after a night out with his friends. You’d seen him at his worst and at his best, but so had he.
Living with Harry had brought you close in a way you didn’t expect—you didn’t necessarily share everything with him, but he knew you in a way few others did. He could read you well, know how your day was by the way you entered the apartment. You liked the same type of movies, you had routines, you shared about your families over pasta dinners and a bottle of wine when the power was out and you had nowhere else to be. More than anything, you felt safe with him, comfortable, valued. He had always gone out of his way to make sure you felt comfortable with living with him and you thought he was honestly the best roommate you had ever had. You were endlessly grateful he responded to the ad and you’d ended up living with him.
But sex with him? Would it change everything? Probably. Would it change it for the worst, though? You weren’t sure. “Would it change anything?” You asked hesitantly.
He paused, the tension between you thick in your small living room, the soft light from the lamp in the corner basking you both in a warm yellow glow. “Not unless we wanted it to.”
You swallowed thickly. “Then I wouldn’t say no,” you said, voice soft.
Harry’s eyes were boring a hole in yours, his breaths shallow and frequent, panting as you both stared at each other, trying to figure out if what you thought was going to happen would actually occur. “Are you sure?” He asked, leaning slightly towards you.
You lowered your legs so that your knees weren’t up to your chest, and pushed your body closer to his in answer. He reached out and hesitantly brought his hand up to your cheek, his palm warm against your skin, finding your gaze before leaning in to close the distance between you.
The second his lips brushed yours you wondered why you hadn’t done this earlier. With his hand cupping your cheek, he pulled you in closer, his free arm wrapping around your lower back and tugging you into his body. He tasted like pizza and red wine and you thought that you probably did too. Your hands reached up to grip the back of his neck, holding him closer to you and shifting towards him. It felt electric, kissing him, and you were falling into it faster than you could think, craving more and more from him, desperate for his touch and the way he prodded open your lips and touched your tongue with his own.
He was grabbing at your hips, squeezing your skin through your pajamas shorts and the oversized band t-shirt you wore, the pads of his fingers digging into you and his rings heavy against your clothes. Fuck it you decided, and pushed back on his shoulders a bit, unwinding your legs, and swinging them onto either side of his hips, settling firmly into his lap. He looked surprised at your movement, but not mad, especially whenever you adjusted and brushed over his hard-on.
“Fuck,” he mumbled against your lips when you wrapped your arms around his neck, holding him close as you kissed him. Pushing up the hem of your shirt, his fingers danced across your back, sliding up your bare skin. You never wore a bra at home, something he’d long ago gotten used to, but to have you pressed to his front, your nipples peaking out, and feeling your bare back under his hand was a completely different experience.
You tugged on the ends of his hair and he groaned into your mouth, a smile spreading across your lips that were between his. With your teeth you tugged on his bottom lip, pulling it away from his mouth and watching as his eyes fell to your mouth, his chest rising and falling as you let go of his lip and sat an inch away from him. Then, he was surging forward again, holding your head in one of his hands and pulling your mouth back to his, chasing you.
Everything about the moment felt good—from the way his hands felt on you to the smell of his cologne and the shower gel you both used, the shared laundry detergent on his clothes. His lips on yours, the prod of his tongue against yours, the way the sounds that left him rang in your ears. Your chest was crushed against his, knees tight against his hips, pushing him back into the pillow behind his head so that you were both horizontal on the couch, your body hovering over his.
The two of you lingered in that position, letting the swivel of your hips over his pelvis draw moans from you both, soft and breathy sounds that filled your living room. Harry’s hands ran under your shirt and then back down to your hips to guide you, a path he repeated over and over again and you weren’t complaining. You loved the feeling of his hands on your body. You were resting fully on his chest, your nipples hard under your shirt as you ground yourself against him, your forearms resting on the pillow behind his head for leverage.
When his hips bucked up into yours, you couldn’t help but rasp his name, a “Harry,” falling from your lips with ease. You trailed your lips down his neck in response, pushing at the neck of his shirt to find the spot at the base of his neck where you sucked harshly. His fingers pressed tighter on your hips and you smiled against his skin. “Like that?” You asked, licking over the mark you’d made.
“Yeah,” he said, rolling your hips over his. You could feel how hard he was through your pajama shorts and his jeans and you were curious. Living with him you’d seen him in just his briefs and the occasional swimsuit when he was heading to the pool with friends, but you’d never seen him fully nude. However, you had a pretty good idea of his size and you couldn’t say you weren’t eager.
Slowly, you inched your hand down his chest, digging your nails into his skin through his shirt, loving the noises that spilled from his mouth at the feeling. When your hand reached his jeans, though, he pulled at your wrist, ripping you away. “What?”
“I wanna do you,” he said. “You were talking earlier about oral and now I’m curious where I fall on the scale.”
He was going to kill you, wasn’t he? “Okay,” you told him, pressing your palm into his torso. “Where do you want to be?”
“Bed,” he replied, nudging at your nose. “Let’s see how much that new bed creaks.”
You pushed up off of him, and he followed you to your bed with his hands on your hips, tugging you back into his chest mid-way through the way to kiss you again, pulling a gasp from your throat when he surprised you. When you pushed open your door, for the first time there was no point in closing it behind you because the only other person who could have seen what was happening was already in the room with you. Harry’s body mirrored yours as you stepped backwards towards your bed, following you as you fell onto the duvet that you had placed there only a matter of hours earlier.
You wanted his skin, to see him and feel him in this way, and so you pushed at the hem of his shirt, the word, “Off,” sticking in your throat when he pulled it up and off of his body, tossing it to the side without consequence. Bare skin stretched in front of you, covered in swirlings of black ink that you had seen before, but never like this. Never when it was yours to see, to touch, to feel. So you took full advantage, sliding your palms up his chest as he leaned back down.
“Your turn,” he mumbled, sucking on your nipple through your shirt, your back arching towards his mouth in a silent beg for more. Fingers pressed into the sliver of your stomach that was exposed, and you raised your arms as if to tell he could push it off, which he did, creeping the fabric up your body and leaving kisses in the wake of the hem. Once it was over your head, he licked over your bare nipple and your a wet mewl left your lips.
“H,” you rasped, tugging on the locks of his hair, the strands threading between your fingers.
His head bounced up, the forest green of his irises barely visible, his pupils blown out with desire. “What?”
You opened your legs wider, and Harry smiled devilishly at you, giving your cleavage on final pull with his lips before creeping down your body. You didn’t stop him when he went to tug off your shorts, nor did you stop him when he laid between your legs, or when he licked and sucked and pulled at your inner thighs, making your chest shudder with desperation.
Nor did you stop him when his tongue touched your clit, licking a straight line up from your slit to your bud. Instead, you gasped his name, a curse mixed in falling from your lips, and tugged his head closer to you. He’d collected saliva on his tongue without you realizing it and the wetness of it was running all over your hot skin, a distinct slurping noise filling the air that only made it hotter. You picked up your head and watched in rapture as he licked into you, his curls falling into his face as he moved between your legs.
He alternated between sucking on your clit and swiping at your slit, nudging his tongue into you just to drive you crazy. Which he succeeded in doing, based on how your hips picked up when he did it, chasing the pressure he left in his wake. He was turning you into a mess, a mess only for him, desire and your orgasm falling through you faster than usual. For some reason he had been concerned about how good he was, but now he was between your legs and you didn’t know how you had gone twenty-six years without him. How you had lived with him for a year and never felt him like this, seen him like this—his head tilting up and the sight of your juices on coating his lips and chin, his tongue darting out to taste them.
“So?” He asked, pressing into your plush thighs, his rings leaving an indentation in their wake. “Where do I fit on the scale?”
“You haven’t made me come,” you responded, voice rough, breath catching in your lungs as you tried to inhale properly.
A wicked smile flashed onto his face, and then he brushed his tongue in a circle around your clit, your fingers tightening in his hair. “I’m not done yet.” Then he was back between your legs, drawing mewls and moans from you like it was his job, and there was nothing you could do to stop them. Your eyes fluttered shut and your head fell back against the mattress, back arching as you tried to grind down on his face. You could feel your walls tightening around nothing and you needed something there, a little bit more.
“Your fingers,” you said, picking up your head to look at him. “I need your fingers.”
Harry glanced up at you, before he answered your plea with his touch, not his words. Not being a man for warning, the tips of his forefinger and middle finger brushed at your entrance just once before pushing inside of you, a deep and unrelenting moan flowing from you with ease. “Yeah? That feel good?”
You could tell he liked praise and so you tightened your hold on his hair and muttered a Yes, bringing his lips back to your center as he drove his fingers inside of you at a brutal pace. The sound of his fingers and your wetness echoed in your ears, but the louder sound was Harry’s grunts and moans and curses below you whenever he brought his head up for air. Somehow, he seemed to be enjoying this as much as you, which definitely gave him some bonus points in your book.
“Gonna come for me, Y/N?” His words were rough and deep, a lower octave to his voice you hadn’t heard before, and it made you desperate for him. Your hips pushed down against his hand, craving more inside of you, and that was when the cold metal of his rings brushed your entrance. The coldness against the warmth of your skin felt heavenly and you mewled at the touch, Harry chuckling lightly from where he laid.
You could feel your belly tightening, the tell tale sign of an orgasm quickly approaching, but you needed just barely more from him. You didn’t know what it was, but you needed more. So you asked, a “More, please,” leaving your mouth in a chant.
He was unfazed, doubling his pace inside of you and suckling on your clit repeatedly before letting his lips fall to your entrance, slipping around the taught skin with his tongue to add to the sensation. It had your back arching and you knew you were mere seconds away. “Don’t stop, please, don’t stop,” you called into the room, your grip on his hair lethal as he licked you into your orgasm.
It crashed into you and he fucked you through it with his fingers, sucking and pulling on your bud as you rode his fingers, back arched and a series of curses circling around you. “Beautiful,” you barely heard him mumble into your skin, the low rumble of his voice sending vibrations through you.
Once you’d regained your breath he was crawling up the length of your body, kisses littered across your bare skin. “Fuck,” you said, a chuckle leaving you as you were reacquainted with the sight of his face hovering above you.
“So?” He asked, hands coming to rest on either side of your head. “What’s my rating?”
You tugged at his neck and dropped his body to yours, his lips meeting yours in a cruel fire. You rolled your hips up and wrapped your legs around his waist, shoving him to the side that he rotated, falling to his back and you above him. “You know exactly how good you are,” you told him, licking and pulling at his neck. “You arrogant asshole.”
A laugh rumbled in his chest, his hands coming to sit on your waist as you brushed back and forth on his jeans. “I distinctly remember you asking me not to stop, so I’m going to go with a high rating? Perhaps the best of all the men who have come before me?”
You knew his ego was big enough that you didn’t need to inflate it, but for some reason you did anyways. “You’d be right about that,” you told him, shoving his legs apart so you could sit between them and popping the button on his jeans. “Now, can I fuck you?”
Harry laughed one of his full body laughs, his head raising off the bed at your words. “Yeah, go ahead, sweetheart,” he said once he’d calmed, a smile stretched across his face at the sight of you between his knees.
With a roll of your eyes, you tugged on the denim, pulling it down his legs. “Do you ever wear underwear?” You asked him, pushing the material off the bed and gazing at his erect pink cock resting on his belly.
“Why?”
“Just trying to figure out how you manage to walk around with that thing and no underwear.”
“Oi!” He said, a frown fixing onto his lips at your laughter. “It’s not a thing, it’s my dick and it’s about to be fucking you, so no mean words, hmm?”
When your fingers wrapped around him all of his laughter and complaints were gone with a string of curse words, his hips bucking up at your touch. You pumped him a few times, nosing at his thigh just to rile him up a bit more. He was warm and heavy in your grip. For the most part, you found dicks the same as all body parts, but Harry’s was beautiful in a way few were. It made you even wetter than he had left you and gathered saliva on your tongue, and when you pushed on the tip delicately with your thumbpad and heard him groan, you knew you couldn’t wait any longer.
You pushed up off of the bed and he whined at your absence, but you ignored him. You had a mission. Rifling through your bedside table, you finally landed on the item you were searching for—the handcuffs you’d purchased a few months ago and had been waiting to try out.
Harry’s eyes widened at the clink of the metal and watched as you swung them on your finger, a coy smile on your face. “Remember these?” You asked, moving to the headboard where you threaded through the wrought iron. “Didn’t think I’d forgotten, did you?”
“No,” he said, gulping and raising his wrists to you, pliant as ever.
“Good,” you answered, a kiss to each of his wrists before securing them in the handcuffs, tugging on the chain to make sure it would hold. “Now then.” You re-positioned yourself over his hips, one knee on either side, and trailed your fingers down his chest. “You look so pretty laid out for me like this.”
Harry’s mind was spinning as he gazed up at you. He’d never felt quite like this—so powerless, but so desperate for someone. You’d turned him to mush with just a few touches and he wanted you in a way he had needed few. The handcuffs weren’t what did it, either, it was the way you touched him, the quirk of your smile and your laughter, how you had bucked into his face, how your fingers touched his skin. He didn’t realize until he was underneath you how long he had been waiting to be there at your mercy, willing to take any shred you’d give him.
“You okay?” You asked, voice soft as you touched his cheek.
“Yeah,” he mumbled, “I’m okay.”
You leaned down and kissed his chest, before snatching the condom you’d laid out on the duvet. Rolling it down his length he hissed at the touch, but you tried to be gentle, knowing that the handcuffs were probably a lot. Then, you rose up onto your knees, positioning yourself over him, and raised his cock, brushing the tip against your entrance. Your eyes found his as you lowered onto him, a groan leaving both of your chests as you took him.
“Holy shit,” he said as your hips met him, his length fully inside of you. “Shit, Y/N.”
You rocked back and forth on him, your fingernails digging into his chest at the feeling of him fitting so snugly inside of you. “Feels so good,” you mumbled, your words long gone from making sense. It always happened—you lost the ability to think about what you were saying, words becoming a string of consciousness. “So deep, H.”
“Yeah?” You could hear the handcuffs rattling against your headboard as you moved over him, but the bed wasn’t creaking yet, just shifting back and forth. His hips raised up to yours, pushing him deeper inside of you somehow and it made you both moan, deep and unrestrained.
Not having to censor your sounds was a completely different experience and you loved it. Your eyes flickered up to where his wrists were clasped in the handcuffs, his nails digging into his palms, the cross tattoo on his thumb shining in the light of your bedroom. “How do they feel?” You asked, bouncing up and down on him.
He couldn’t answer at first, mind swimming from the tight metal on his wrists and the way you held him inside of you so snugly. His whole body was warm, from his sweat and your touch and just the overwhelming desire rolling through him. “Like them,” he finally got out, because he did. Something about the restraints made it more intense, the fact that he couldn’t touch you, the fact that you were just fucking him like you wanted to. It was making his orgasm rush towards him, a twitching throughout his body he was barely staving off.
“They’re hot,” you said, using your knees you speed up your tempo, needing him faster inside of you. “Like seeing you all tied up.”
Usually you didn’t feel this comfortable this quickly with someone you were hooking up with, but with Harry you knew he would never judge him. You trusted him fully and here, in this room, was no different. “I’m close,” he rasped when you swiveled your hips, brushing him against your g-spot and whining out his name.
“Yeah?” Your fingernails crept down his torso leaving long red marks in their wake. “Wanna see you come, H,” you mumbled, splaying your palms out on his abdomen, which was taut from the pleasure he was trying to hold off.
“Fuck,” he yelled when you clenched down on him, his hips bouncing up immediately, slamming against yours. “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” then he was coming, the combination of the cold metal on his wrists leaving him at your mercy and the tightness you held around him combining to send him toppling over the edge.
You bent over, your torso resting on his and fucked yourself on him as best you could, not wanting to overwhelm him but also chasing your own release. The sound of your name on his tongue, a raw and unhinged moan ripping through him from his own sensitivity. “Close,” you said, kissing across his collarbone and blowing softly on the mark you’d left earlier.
The sight of his eyes screwed shut and the panting of his breath, the way his chest heaved as he tried to calm down, mixed with him begging for you to find your release left you squirming above him, body rattling with your orgasm. You clenched down on him as you came and he grunted at the feeling, but you couldn’t stop it, a call of his name leaving your mouth.
It left you worn-out and desperate for cuddles, so you reached up, unfastening the handcuffs and releasing his wrists. His hands found your skin immediately, hooking them around your back and pulling you flush. You lifted up off of him so that he could pull the condom off and you whimpered at the loss. “Tired,” you mumbled into his chest.
“S’okay,” he replied, kissing the top of your forehead. “You good?”
“Yeah,” you answered, shutting your eyes against his skin. “How was that?”
He let out a breath, taut and tight in the room. “Fucking insane,” he answered, and you giggled next to him as he pinched your ass lightly. “You’ve been hiding that from me for all this time, huh?”
“Guess so.”
He chuckled, nudging your forehead with his chin. “Think you might want to do that again sometime?”
You picked up your head, opening your eyes to look at him. “Sure I didn’t scare you off with the handcuffs?”
“Fuck no,” he replied in a rush. “Blew my mind.”
“Then yeah,” you told him. “As long as it’s my turn next.”
One of his eyebrows quirked up, and then a grin spread across his face. “Your turn, eh?”
His red-tinged wrists wrapped around you and smothered you in kisses, your hands batting at his body in a fit of laughter, but he didn’t quit. Instead, he pulled you close, a final press of his lips to your cheek, and you settled in against his body, knowing he’d be there in the morning.
He was your roommate, after all—where else did he have to be?

Hey slug, thanks for the hard work you and your team do for the fandom!! me and some friends were discussing this and i thought it would be nice to see ur answer to this (only if it doesn't bother u, of course!!): what characters do you think parents would give a big thumbs up if you introduced them as your partner (in terms of personality and traits)? I personally think Hifumi or Ichiro would be the best son-in-law...
What an entertaining question. Believe it or not, I’ve given the matter some thought before for reasons entirely unrelated to this, so presenting: Hypnosis Microphone Men and Whether or Not You Should Bring Them Home to Your Parents.
Since there’s a wide age range among the cast members, assume that the “you” in question is roughly each character’s age.
Ichirou: Absolutely. This man is objectively a dream boat. Runs his own successful business? Check. Respectful to people of all ages? Check. Cooks? Check. Cleans? Check. Good with kids? Check. Take Ichirou and marry him before your parents marry him themselves.
Jirou: As far as high school boyfriends go, Jirou’s not a bad choice. He’s a sweetheart, popular, plays music. Doesn’t do drugs in the school bathroom. Could have better grades, but hey, you can’t win them all. He seems like he’d have you home by 8 pm. You know what? Sure. Why not? You could do worse.
Saburou: Saburou is the kind of middle school boyfriend that your parents openly like and privately dislike. What I mean is that he’s very polite to most elders and super smart, so he’s the kind of kid who is entirely unobjectionable, but he’s also the kind of kid who would try to mansplain your parents’ jobs to them. Worst of all, he would be entirely correct in what he’s saying. Your parents probably want to punch him, but they don’t because assaulting children is illegal, not to mention immoral. They will breathe a collective sigh of relief when he finally breaks up with you so he can focus on studying for the Science Bowl nationals.
Samatoki: I am so torn on this one. On the one hand, he’s every parent’s worst nightmare. He smokes indoors, has an awful temper, and is a fucking gangster, for pete’s sake. Yet he can also be a sweetheart who cooks for you and does everything to treat you right. I’m really stumped. Probably the best solution, if you’re really wanting to get in on that Aohitsugi ass, is to cut out the middle man and date Nemu instead. She is perfect in every way, so your parents will love her.
Juuto: If your parents watch Antiques Roadshow, then he will have a lot to bond with them about. Otherwise I think he’d be that kind of person who tells stories about himself way too loudly at family dinners, and after he leaves, one of your parents pulls you aside to say, “Your boyfriend’s really kind of an asshole, don’t you think?” I guess date him if you’re okay with your parents thinking you have cruddy taste.
Riou: I feel like the hard part here is luring him out of the woods and into a family dinner, but from there, it should go great. He’s over 6 feet tall. He can cook well. He has a strong sense of purpose and knows what he wants to do in life. Most importantly, he has a wonderful heart AND every survival skill known to man. He will change the oil in your parents’ car, fix the leaky pipe you’ve been meaning to get around to for six months now, clean the hood above the stove, and then swap recipes and heartfelt compliments with whichever parent does the cooking. Who cares if he doesn’t have a stable income? You don’t need that with guns like those. (insert flexing Riou image here)
Ramuda: I’m trying to think about the concept of a) dating Ramuda and b) introducing him to a set of parents, and I’m drawing an utter blank. There is nothing but “???” in my mind. I’m going to hazard a guess that this one would be a terrible idea.
Gentarou: Wow, your parents had no idea you were dating a prince of a tiny little kingdom in the Mediterranean AND a Harvard law graduate AND the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize AND the man who discovered a cure for cancer in an expedition deep into the heart of the Amazon rain forest. Look at you! What a catch. Only attempt this if your parents are gullible.
Dice: As much as I love Dice to death, this one is a no. Your parents do not want you dating a homeless man with a gambling addiction and bad table manners. Plus, the MIL here seems hard to get along with. Nuh-uh.
Jakurai: Absolutely. You’re in your 30s, so your parents are at least middle-aged. Probably they have some joint problems or some back pain. Jakurai can let them kiss that pain goodbye, and in return, they can let him kiss you! A win-win. He also boasts a handsome salary, has a lovely house, and seems like he’d be super respectful in a relationship. Yes. Go. Marry him.
Hifumi: If you’re a girl, you’re probably going to have to sit this round out. If you’re a guy or nonbinary... yeah, you’re probably going to have to sit this round out too. See, if you have a mom, how is Hifumi supposed to meet her? I guess you could... idk... stick a lampshade on her head and expect him not to notice. That could potentially work, but it’d raise a few awkward questions. If you do happen to live in a female-free household, though, you’ve hit upon the golden opportunity to make this man yours. You can replace every instance of the word “wife” in Judy Brady Syfer’s famous essay “I Want a Wife” with the word “Hifumi” and still have it make perfect sense, and it shows.
Doppo: I can’t in good conscience recommend this one. Sure, he’s hardworking and certainly polite enough, but does he have the time to respond to your emotional needs? Hell, does he have the time to respond to his own? If you invited him to family dinner, there’s a good chance that he’d need to work overtime and miss it. He’d apologize and buy you flowers to make up for it, but you know he’d also be worrying about the cost of those flowers, so... is it really worth it?
Kuukou: For some reason, my parents actually like Kuukou (although I think he’s also the only character they know besides Ichijiku), but I don’t think this would hold true for most parents. He sounds good on paper, but he’d probably make a disparaging comment about someone’s ass in the first five minutes. Perhaps if you tape his mouth shut and tell your parents he’s doing a vow of silence, then yes.
Juushi: As far as high school (is he still in high school?) boyfriends go, Juushi’s not that bad either. He’s shy but sweet. Respectful. In a band, but the kind that makes money and doesn’t operate out of someone’s garage. Yeah, you know what? Go for it. You could do worse. Just scroll up on this list if you need proof of that.
Hitoya: Yeah, absolutely. Hitoya has a great career and a fantastic attitude. He doesn’t take shit from anyone but can still be polite in the correct contexts. He also seems like the type who would get into a serious relationship and treat his partner right. Fuck it up. I support your love.
Sasara: Yes. He has the exact type of humor favored by parents of the father variety. Plus, he’s a famous comedian. There is good money to be had right there.
Roshou: Absolutely. Rather shy but very talented, hardworking teacher who obviously puts his heart and soul into his job? Of course. As long as he doesn’t death glare your parents, it will work out fantastically. Plus, he can talk about sports! That’s a thing that parents like, right?
Rei: Absolutely not. You remember last May when your parents answered a call from the IRS telling them they were about to lose all their money unless they gave the nice man on the phone their bank account password right at that very instant? He was the nice man on the phone. Why the hell would you bring this threat into your parents’ home? Look, you’re in your mid-40s. Your parents are getting up in years, and they want to see you settle down and be happy with someone. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is not it. Why are you with Rei in the first place? Is it the fur coat? Listen, you are a grown-ass adult, and you can buy yourself as many fur coats as you want. I believe in you. It doesn’t have to be this way - you deserve better.

Adorable: Jimmy Palmer X Reader
Jimmy was in a barbershop quartet group in college. Reader finds that kind of adorable which means she finds it kind of hot too.
=======
Y/N has always known her boyfriend is a little bit of an oddball. Their first meeting kind of hinted at it. They’d met at a coffee shop and he’d accidentally spilled his rather large iced coffee on her.
As he’d dabbed her off with a ridiculous amount of napkins apologizing frantically he’d joked that at least it wasn’t hot coffee as he’d once had to see a cadaver who’d had a pretty nasty past injury from a coffee burn…then, of course, he had to clear his comment up by explaining that he definitely wasn’t a psychopath and was only an assistant to the medical examiner for NCIS…and then he’d gone on to explain exactly what NCIS was….it was by far the strangest conversation Y/N had ever had in her life.
Most people might have run screaming after that conversation, but there was something so adorable about Jimmy Palmer that Y/N couldn’t help but to like him even with his awkward conversation choices.
So she’d quite smoothly offered to buy him a coffee to replace the one he’d spilled and he’d quite awkwardly claimed he should be the one buying her something…after all he’d soaked her dress. Of course, then it had hit him that she was trying to flirt with him and he’d agreed to the coffee…but only if he could at least buy her a muffin.
They’d had their first date right then and there. It had been nice, even if Y/N’s dress had been a little sticky from Jimmy’s amazingly sugary iced coffee choice. Jimmy had listened entranced with her even as she discussed her less than exciting job working at a bank. Jimmy easily had a way of making her feel like the most interesting person on the planet. It was something she adored about him from the very start. She had felt that his career was far more interesting though a little odd. Still though even with the more morbid aspect of his career, Y/N had been pretty smitten with him from the start, and much to her relief he had been just as infatuated with her.
After that first date, they’d become inseparable. Their relationship has progressed to the point of her meeting his mother and he meeting her parents. They’d even moved in together and had both begun to hint at marriage being a possibility sooner than later.
Living with Jimmy didn’t mean Y/N was any less surprised by his oddness though.
This, however, was the last thing Y/N expected to come home to.
She’d entered the apartment, she shared with Jimmy, staring down at her cell phone with a shopping bag in hand. It had been an uneventful Saturday and although Y/N would have much rather spent it inside with her boyfriend, errands still needed to be taken care of. So she’d spent her morning running by the post office and then the bank and finally the farmers market.
She dropped her shopping bags off in the kitchenette calling out for Jimmy frowning when she didn’t get a response. Surely he hadn’t been called away for work, he was good about calling her if he was being called away.
His work schedule had been a little strange to wrap her brain around. It was an odd schedule, but she made the most of the time they had together.
She made her way to the bedroom widening her eyes as she spotted him. She almost pinched herself to make sure this wasn’t all some weird dream.
Her boyfriend stood in front of the mirror in a full-on barber quartet outfit straw hat included.
Jimmy turned to smile at her not seeming to be thrown off by the disbelief on her face. “Oh I didn’t hear you come in, So, what do you think? I’m really surprised it still fits. It’s actually a little loose, I guess I’ve lost weight since college, must be because I started hitting the gym. I’ve bulked up a little since then, so honestly, I thought it’d be too tight.”
Y/N cleared her throat her brow furrowed. “I-I uh, what? Why?”
Jimmy smiled even brighter still seeming unfazed by his girlfriend’s confusion. “Oh, my old barbershop quartet group is talking about having a reunion show. I guess I never told you about it. We were called the P B & Js. I was the second J. It’s been years, I hope I can still hit the right notes.”
Y/N nodded her head slowly taking in this information. She had to admit there was something kind of adorable about all of this. This was unexpected, but then again there were a lot of things about Jimmy that were unexpected.
She couldn’t stop the fond feeling from washing over her at how proud he looked of himself as he stared back in the mirror clearly ecstatic about this all.
Ugh, why was he so adorable? She mentally groaned knowing that this was always her downfall. Any time she focused on how adorable he was she couldn't stop that familiar hot wave of desire from running through her.
She almost wanted to psychoanalyze herself at times…did she have some kind of kink for him being so adorable?
She took a deep breath knowing she had two choices, either walk away and forget this or jump his bones and accept that the sight of him being so adorable did it for her.
She made up her mind making her way over to him leaning up and allowing her lips to slide along his neck her fingers tracing the ridiculous bright red vest that went along with his outfit.
Jimmy felt his cheeks flush a familiar wave of lust hitting him just as hard as it hit her.
He spoke his voice rising a pitch as she littered his neck with kisses. “If I’d known you had a thing for barbershop quartets I might have broken this out sooner.”
Y/N managed to let out a laugh her lips meeting his she taking his hands in hers leading him to their bed.
She spoke as she shoved him down wasting zero time straddle his lap her lips pressing to his neck once again as she spoke. “Trust me I’m just as surprised by it as you, pretty sure I just have a thing for you though. The outfit is just a nice bonus.”
Jimmy smiled leaning back taking everything she was willing to give. He spoke as she began to unfasten the buttons to his shirt. “I can perform one of our songs later…if you want.”
She spoke as she began to work her way down his body her comment making him smile all the more. “I want.”

Rivalry
Tumblr media
Hope you enjoy. 
Note: And you thought I wrote breast worship before. Ha!
Read on AFF
A gentle breeze brushes against your cheek as you slowly tread through the park. The sounds of nearby kids laughing and playing float into your ear. You take a slow deep breath while the bright sun warms your face. You stop walking and quietly stare at the sky. As you let the scenery of this perfect day wash over you, a gentle touch squeezes your hand. A soft voice next to you reads your mind.
“On a beautiful day like this, you should live beautifully.”
You chuckle softly as you turn to see Eunbi giving you a cheerful smile. She gently brushes part of her hair behind her ear, the wind lightly blowing her short hair along her neck. 
“That’s a good phrase. Where did you hear that from?” You ask.
“You don’t remember? Some guy said that once to justify why he asked me out. I think he was trying to be romantic or something.” Eunbi teases.
“Listen, you were very pretty and I wanted to impress you.”
As Eunbi lets out a hearty laugh, you remember why “very pretty” was understatement. Watching her laugh, her radiant smile pierces your heart. Her soft eyes glow with a soothing warmth when she looks at you. Her beautiful facial features and the fact that her body is crafted by gods are lethal to your heart. The pale white shirt tightly hugs her enormous tits, pressing so hard that it leaves a visible outline of her bra. Her toned flat stomach that further accentuates how huge her breasts are.  Blue jeans that firmly hug her tight ass. Every piece of her outfit is casual but manages to flaunt every centimeter of her curves. Catching you staring, Eunbi teasingly hugs up against your arm. Her soft voluptuous breasts sandwich your arm as she holds your hand. Your face gets hot as you slowly start walking again.
“Let’s get going. You wanted to get some shopping done before dinner.” You say, gently pulling her hand along with you.
Eunbi giggles softly, slowly following behind you. As you make your way through the park, the two of you talk about random things. You’ve both been busy so you haven’t had much time to catch up lately. Today is the rare Saturday date where you are both free. The beautiful weather shines around you while you chat about foods you’ve eaten and other small things. 
“So how has work been oppa?” Eunbi asks as she lightly skips next to you.
“It’s been a little stressful. We got a new transfer a few months ago. Her transition is going well, but that kind of thing can still be rough.”
“Oh yeah? That can be difficult. What’s she like?”
“She seems to be handling it well. She’s got a great-“ With a brief panic, you catch yourself before you almost say what’s really on your mind, “Work ethic. Very dedicated.” 
You pause slightly to see if she knows that you almost said body. 
“That’s good. A good work ethic helps make the transition easier.” Eunbi nods to herself, not noticing your awkward pause.
Noticing that she’s lost in thought, you gently squeeze her hand. 
“Everything okay hon?” You ask softly.
“Huh? Yeah sorry. Just thinking about something. Got invited to a class reunion. While I want to go, I don’t want to see my nemesis.” She mumbles as she kicks a pebble.
Seeing how serious she is, you suppress a giggle at her use of the word “nemesis”.
“Yeah? I didn’t realize there was someone you disliked that much.”
“We always competed over everything, we argued and fought constantly. Anyway, that’s in the past, let’s focus on our date.” She says, shaking the thought out of her head.
You give her a soft smile. Interlocking her fingers with yours, you continue talking about little things as you make your way out of the park. As you reach the city again, Eunbi starts pulling you to a department store. The automatic doors slide open with a mechanical hiss as you walk inside. Upon entering the lobby, her eyes shine with excitement. She lets go of your hand and roams toward the rows of various goods nearby.  You chuckle as she starts exploring through the aisles. The fact that she gets so excited while shopping is something that always makes you smile. As she gets further out view, you follow after her. As you wander through the store trying to find her, you stop and peek at the end of each aisle. Stopping to stare down an aisle, when you go to walk to the next aisle you bump into someone. Almost knocking them over, you grab their arms to steady them.
“Oh, I’m so sorry I didn’t see you there. Are you okay?” You apologize, checking to see if you hurt them.
“No, I’m fine, it was just a light bump. Oh. Sunbae it’s you! I wasn’t expecting to find you here.” She says with surprise.
You look up and notice that it’s the new transfer from work. 
“Oh Johyun. I wasn’t expecting to see you here either. How are you?” You give her a friendly smile. 
You’re happy to see Johyun in public. Always willing to help around the office, she’s one of those people that you just can’t help wanting to be friends with. Kindness being one of her defining traits, she’s always friendly to people. You haven’t worked together long, but you have yet to see her upset. The other defining trait being her body. Dating Eunbi, you try not to look at other girls’ bodies. But it’s impossible not to look at Johyun. 
At work you could always find ways to distract yourself from staring, but standing in front of her at the store you struggle to avert your gaze from her body. Her tight jeans cling to her intense curves, showing off the delectable thighs that she hides at work. The green low-cut top clings to her breasts, her eye-catching cleavage gloriously popping out. While her tits don’t quite compete with Eunbi’s, they’re still magnificent in their own right. Your vision drifts back to her face as her cheeks glow with a rosy tint. 
“I’m all right. Just doing some shopping for a party I got invited to.” Johyun gives you a shy smile.
“Oh, that sounds like it could be fun. I hope you have a good time!” 
“Thanks. Um, if you’re not too busy maybe you could-“ 
Out of the corner of your eye you spot Eunbi and wave her over.
“Babe! Over here, I want you to meet someone.” You call out to her before turning back to Johyun.
“Sorry, I just completely interrupted you. What were you going to ask?” You apologize.
“Oh. It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” She gives you an embarrassed smile.
“Really? Okay then. Sorry about cutting you off, I was trying to find my girlfriend when I ran into you.” You look and see Eunbi walking down the aisle toward you. 
“Oppa I was looking for you. Where did you go?” Eunbi asks as she approaches. Seeing Johyun, she stops in her tracks.
“Why is she here oppa?
“She’s the new transfer from work. I wanted to introduce you to her. Why, do you know her?”
As Johyun frowns and stares at you with Eunbi, her brow furrows as if realizing something. 
“You’re dating Eunbi?” Johyun stares at you.
“You two know each other?” You look back and forth between them.
“Yes. We went to school together. We competed over everything.” Johyun nods.
“Your nemesis?” You whisper to Eunbi as she nods.
“So that party. Was that the class reunion?” You ask.
“Yes. Are you going Eunbi?” Johyun starts at her.
“No, we were just going to stay home and get delivery or something. You want to join us?” You reply without thinking.
The three of you stand in silence, all of you stunned by your stupidity.  Before you can retract your invitation, Johyun smiles and leaps at the opportunity. 
“That sounds amazing sunbae. Lead the way back to your place.”
“If you’ll excuse us for a minute. I need to have a talk with MY boyfriend.” Eunbi pulls you a few aisles over. 
“What is the matter with you? You just found out that I don’t like her, so you invite her to our apartment?” She whispers angrily as she punches your shoulder.
“I wasn’t really thinking. But I think it’s a good thing.” You admit as you rub your shoulder.
“ I work with her; it would be good to be friendly with her. Plus, this can be the chance for you guys to bury the hatchet.” You continue, shifting uncomfortably as Eunbi’s glare pierces through you.
After a long silence, she releases a deep sigh.
“Fine. Let’s go and get this over with. But I’m drinking, and you’re paying for everything.”
“As I should be.” You nod in agreement. 
Walking back to Johyun, you hold Eunbi’s hand softly. You smile as you go to give Johyun the good news.
“We’re heading home now, we’d love it if you’d join us.”
Johyun gives Eunbi a smug smile as if she won something.  You walk up to the cash register and finish purchasing everything the two women are buying. Not looking at the damage to your bank account, you stuff the receipt into your wallet. Eunbi clutches your hand as Johyun hovers around your other side. The tension between the two beauties thickens as you leave the store and head to your apartment. 
Buttons beep as you enter the pin number into your apartment door. The electronic lock disengages with a clunk as the door swings open. Eunbi grumpily walks in first, kicking her shoes across the room to put on her slippers. As you hold open the door for Johyun, she gives a small thankful bow before entering. She gently takes off her shoes before wandering inside. A mixture of emotions builds up in your chest as you think about the situation. Silently shuddering at the thought of what might happen, you take a deep breath before stepping inside. You lightly kick your shoes off as you close the door behind you. 
Walking inside, you notice Johyun looking around the apartment. As you follow her line of sight, she frowns upon seeing a picture of you and Eunbi on the wall. Her brows furrow and her frown intensifies every time she sees something that belongs to Eunbi. Having immediately changed into sweats, Eunbi walks over the kitchen and retrieves a case of beer from the fridge. Slamming the case on the table, she pulls a can out. The refreshing crack echoes in the apartment as she opens it. You nervously  smile at Johyun as you try to defuse the situation.
“That’s a great idea. We’ll all have a beer while I go order the food.” You say, somehow managing to have a calm voice.
Johyun and Eunbi both nod as Johyun grabs a beer for herself. You utter a silent sigh of relief as you make a mental note, the one thing they’ve agreed on so far is food and beer. You have a feeling you’ll need to rely on that if you want to survive tonight as you step away to place the delivery order. A few minutes pass and you walk back into the kitchen to see that they’re already on their second beers. The girls sitting across from each other, you sit on the perpendicular side so that both of them are next to you. As you make yourself comfortable, you pull the case of beer towards you. Both of the girls angrily turn to you.
“What are you doing oppa?” Eunbi pouts.
“Johyun has to go home after this, and I want to make sure that none of us get too drunk.” You explain.
“Johyun can get home fine on her own.” She complains.
“Well unlike you Eunbi, some of us didn’t spend junior year intoxicated. Sorry we’re not all as good at navigating home while drunk as you are.” Johyun snaps.
You sit silently as they continue to bicker until you notice something unusual. Your airheaded nature strikes again as you voice your thoughts.
“If you guys hate each other so much, why don’t you use honorifics?”
Both girls simultaneously slam their cups down, beer spilling onto the table as their voices meld together.
“THERE IS NO HONOR IN THIS RIVALRY.” Their voices angrily shout as one. 
You open your mouth to say that you don’t think that’s what it means. Their eyes glaring at each other, you think better of it and close your lips. As you mentally scold yourself for being so stupid, the doorbell rings. Thankful for something that will hopefully cut this tension, you hurriedly go pay for the food. Bringing the dishes into the kitchen, you lay the food onto the table. After you unwrap everything, the three of you eagerly dig in.
As you all finish the food, the conversation is now semi-pleasant. While it’s still tense, there is definitely less hostility in the air. Reaching across Johyun for a bowl, you accidentally knock food onto her clothes. Embarrassed, you immediately go grab a towel and clean around her. Her shirt and jeans now covered in brown sauce, you hand her the towel so she can wipe off her body as best she can.
“I’m so sorry! Are you okay?” You ask apologetically.
“Yeah I’m fine. Just a little messy.” Johyun looks up and gives you an embarrassed look. 
“Here go use our shower. The laundry room is near the bathroom so well stay out here while you shower and clean your clothes. There should be some clean clothes in the laundry room that you can put on while you wait.” You say as you give a flustered bow.
“Wait I don’t want her wearing my clothes!” Eunbi pipes up.
“It’s either she wears your clothes or she wears nothing. Which would you rather?” You ask.
“Fine. But I expect to get them back.” She grumbles.
“Thank you, babe. Johyun the bathroom and laundry room are down the hall to your left.” You gesture down the hallway.
You both bow to each other as she walks down the hallway. Once she’s out of sight you release a loud groan and go collapse on the couch. Eunbi sits next to you, cuddling up to your arm. 
“Well I thought it was funny.” She mumbles after a long pause.
“Babe that was embarrassing for both of us. What on Earth happened between you two?”
“Like I said. We competed against each other.”
“Well you need to get over it and bury the hatchet. I work with her.” You snap. 
“Okay oppa. I’m sorry.” Eunbi gets closer to you. 
“It’s fine. When she comes out, we’re all going to sit down and talk about whatever happened. That way you can get over it.” You sigh.
On cue, Johyun walks around the corner in almost the worst thing she could be wearing. She appears in the living room, facing you and Eunbi wearing nothing but one of your dress shirts. To be safe, you hold Eunbi back in case she tries to get up. Johyun gives a smug smile again, flaunting as if she just beat Eunbi in a competition. Her arms propped her, Johyun sits on the floor across from you and Eunbi with her dark hair draped over one shoulder. She gives you a teasing smile as she crosses her legs, showing off her pillowy thighs. While you struggle to look at anything besides Johyun’s body, Eunbi punches your arm.
“Right. Johyun, we were talking and we decided that you two should try to bury the hatchet. If it’s okay with you, I want us to talk about everything that happened between you guys. That way we can get out all these unresolved feelings and keep the past in the past going forward.” You say calmly.
“I see... I can do that. Well it started off as basic stuff. We’d compete over athletics and test scores and whatnot. The turning point was when we competed over a guy.” Johyun says, blowing her hair out of her face. 
“We both liked him. So, we started trying to outdo each other and get his attention. One day there was this sports festival or whatever and we tried to compete in... something. I don’t remember what it was.” Eunbi nods.
 “Me neither anyway. Ball flew out of the field and broke his nose. And because of that he didn’t date either of us.” Johyun adds.
As they nod in silence, you sit dumbfounded.
“That’s it? That’s why you hate each other? That’s ridiculous.” You exclaim.
“Now that we’ve said it out loud yeah it kind of is. I can’t believe I was angry at you for that long, Johyun.” Eunbi says, turning to Johyun.
“Especially since I’m the one that should be angry. We’re in that same situation again. How do you think it felt? I transfer to a new office and there’s a handsome, charming, kind new coworker who does his best to help me figure things out. I have had a crush on him for months, only to find out he’s dating my old nemesis. It’s not fair.” Johyun pouts.
If you weren’t so embarrassed, you’d laugh at the fact that Johyun also thought of Eunbi as a nemesis. But instead your face feels like it’s a million degrees. You shift uncomfortably as Johyun’s intense eyes meet yours. Crossing your legs, you desperately try to hide your growing erection from Eunbi.
“What are you talking about? We’re just coworkers is all.” You nervously explain, hoping that Eunbi doesn’t get the wrong idea.
“What do you think? One last competition. Whoever makes him feel better wins him. Unless you don’t think you know how to please your boyfriend.” Johyun coolly states as she turns her gaze onto Eunbi.
Without saying a word, Eunbi cups your face and turns your head toward her. As she leans in and plants a rough kiss on your lips, you see a competitive fire burning in her eyes. You close your eyes as her warm tongue pries open your mouth and slips inside. The taste of her saliva drips into your mouth as her tongue swirls against yours. Eunbi’s kiss deepening, you slowly uncross your legs. Curious to what Johyun is doing, you open your eyes. Out of the corner of your eye, you see Johyun slowly slinking towards you. While you lose yourself to Eunbi’s tongue, you feel a hand brushing against your dick through your shorts.
As Eunbi’s tongue explores your mouth, Johyun caresses her palm against your dick. Gripping it through your shorts, she gives your cock a few long, slow strokes. You release a soft moan, making Eunbi jealous as she speeds up her tongue. Johyun’s fingers slowly walk up your legs, her fingertips stopping at the waistband of your shorts. Johyun is ready and opens her mouth for what’s about to happen. Slipping her fingers inside, she yanks down your shorts and boxers. Your erect cock springs out, slapping directly into Johyun’s tongue. You can feel Eunbi’s lips frown against yours as you release another pleasured groan. 
Johyun takes your tip into her mouth, vigorously scraping it against her moist cheeks. Eunbi withdraws her tongue from your mouth and frowns as your breathing gets heavy from Johyun’s blow job. She lifts your arms and peels your shirt off your body. As your head turns to watch Johyun, Eunbi cups your face and pulls it towards her again. Her delicate lips press against yours repeatedly as she showers you with gentle kisses. She gently bites on your lip, sucking it as she rests her hand on your chest. Johyun lets your dick fall out of her mouth before spitting on it and stroking it. After a few brisk strokes, she takes your entire shaft into her mouth. Your groan vibrates against Eunbi’s lips.
Your lips locked against Eunbi’s; she teasingly sticks her tongue into your mouth every few kisses only to take it back out. Johyun sucks on your dick, her wet cheeks constricting your shaft. After a few seconds, she stops sucking but keeps your dick in her mouth. As she lets her saliva pool in her mouth and drip down your shaft, you reach your hand down and softly cup her cheek. Johyun swirls her tongue around your cock, the warmth rubbing against part of your dick. Eunbi continues to chew and pull on your lips.
 Your dick swimming in Johyun’s saliva, you thrust your dick upwards into her mouth. A surprised moan is muffled by your cock but Johyun quickly adapts, thrusting her head onto your shaft. Your moans attach to Eunbi’s lips. Feeling bad for enjoying Johyun’s blow job so much, your hands reach up and grope Eunbi’s massive breasts through her shirt. You pull back from Eunbi’s kiss as your fingertips squeeze everything they can. The soft fabric being the only thing between you and heaven, you rip Eunbi’s shirt down the middle and throw it across the room. 
“Hey. I liked that shirt.” Eunbi whines as you roughly squeeze her tits,
While you dive into Eunbi’s chest, Johyun messily slurps your dick, her saliva dripping at the base of your cock. Her tongue viciously rubs against your tip while you lick and kiss the inside of Eunbi’s cleavage. Your fingers digging into Eunbi’s pillowy breasts, you run your tongue over as much of her delicious chest as you can. You make your way over to her nipple, immediately slurping it into your mouth. Your tongue swirls around flicks around her soft nipples as you frantically squeeze her tits. Her beautiful breasts too big for your hands, her tender flesh oozes through the cracks of your fingers. 
“Fuck baby. That’s it.” Eunbi whimpers as your teeth pull on her nipple.
Johyun slurps on your dick so hard that you pull away from Eunbi’s tits to moan. Eunbi looks down at Johyun, immediately alerted by the fact that you pulled away from her breasts. Eunbi pulls your face back into her chest as Johyun swirls her tongue around every part of your dick. You take Eunbi’s other nipple into your mouth as Johyun grips your shaft with her tongue. You slurp on Eunbi’s tits again, pulling and biting her nipple. Johyun’s wet cheeks pressure your cock with another fierce suck, making you release Eunbi’s breast again. You can feel Johyun’s lips smile against your shaft. 
Drowning in pleasure, you lean over and cup Johyun’s face with your hands. You take her mouth off your cock and immediately pull her into a kiss. Your tongue swirls around her mouth, your moans bouncing off each other. You suck on her soft lip, pulling it gently before letting go. Pushing Johyun onto her back, you immediately position yourself at her entrance. While you’ve fantasized about this moment, you never thought you would be able to live it out. Not able to wait any longer, you push your dick inside Johyun. As your cock slowly forces its way into her cunt, you both release pleasured groans. 
Even though you want to give Johyun time to adjust to your cock, her tightness pleasures you in a way that doesn’t make that possible. Her hot walls cling to your shaft as thrust into her. Your dick throbbing from her warmth, you crave every inch of her body. You want to plunge into her as deep as you can.  Your slams echo throughout her body as every part of her delicate flesh ripples. Her voluptuous thighs quake as you piston inside her. The shirt Johyun took from the laundry poorly hides how much her breasts shake as you ram your dick inside her. As your cock pries into her depths, Johyun looks up at you with a blissful smile. 
The smile is short lived as Eunbi walks over and straddles her vagina over Johyun’s face. You feel guilty because you were so lost in Johyun that you temporarily forgot about Eunbi. Vindictively, Eunbi grinds her pussy across Johyun’s mouth. Johyun decides to go along with it, reaching her hands up and gripping Eunbi’s plump ass. Eunbi lets out a moan as Johyun’s tongue enters her pussy. Eunbi reaches down and rips open the shirt Johyun borrowed before grabbing Johyun’s breasts. You frown as the buttons fly across the room.
“That’s one of my favorite shirts.”
Eunbi looks you in the eye as she squirms on Johyun’s face.
“All is fair in love and war.” She manages to get out between moans.
Johyun noisily slurps and sucks on Eunbi’s folds as Eunbi grinds her face. Johyun roughly squeezes Eunbi’s ass as her tongue gropes Eunbi’s walls. The sight of Johyun eating Eunbi out makes your blood rush, your cock throbbing intensely inside of Johyun. You continue thrusting into her as her cunt tightens around you. Johyun’s fluids spill out of her as you pound away inside her. Eunbi reaches over and cups your face as you piston inside Johyun. Eunbi throws her arms around your neck as she leans forward. Bringing you close, Eunbi sticks her tongue into your mouth again. Her warm tongue swirling around yours, all three of you start to moan. 
“Fuck. She’s really good oppa.” Eunbi moans.
“Yeah I know babe.” You manage to grunt out.
Your cock imprinting itself into Johyun, you thrust as deep as you can. Johyun’s velvety walls grip your dick. With each slam, Johyun’s body ripples against you. The feeling of her soft flesh crashing against you starts to push you to the limit. Eunbi lightly bounces on Johyun’s mouth, her ass rippling across Johyun’s face. Johyun loudly slurps and drinks Eunbi’s juices. Eunbi fondles and squeezes Johyun’s breasts, her fingers caressing every inch of them. Eunbi pushes and pulls Johyun’s breasts, aggressively groping them as she pinches her nipples. The sight of the two most beautiful women you know like this is too much. The moans of all three of you combining with the sound of flesh slapping against each other pushes you over your limit.
As you slam out your final thrusts, Johyun locks her legs behind your waist. Eunbi pulls away from your kiss and lets out a shrill moan. She clamps her hands around Johyun’s breasts as her body shakes from her orgasm. At the same time, Johyun releases a loud moan muffled by Eunbi’s body. Johyun’s hot walls constrict around your cock. Her body twitching violently around you.  The sensation of Johyun’s orgasm flooding around your dick is the last thing to reach your breaking point. As Johyun’s orgasm makes her legs tighten around you, your tip erupts, thick streams of cum gush into her depths. Eunbi is the first to move after your collective orgasm, lifting her pussy off of Johyun’s face and walking over to you. You’re afraid of what she’ll do about the fact that you just came inside Johyun. She walks over to you, and lightly pulls you out of Johyun. Leaning down she softly sucks on your dick, cleaning yours and Johyun’s fluids off of it. 
Then Eunbi moves over and starts licking your cum that’s streaming out of Johyun. Placing her palms on Johyun’s thighs, Eunbi spreads Johyun’s legs and starts licking her pussy. Johyun lets out a sharp moan as Eunbi’s tongue slips inside her. You find yourself presented with Eunbi’s fat ass as her tongue scrapes out every bit of cum you unleased in Johyun. Not letting this night end, you grab Eunbi’s ass and slide your dick against it. Her supple cheeks curve against your shaft. You give her ass a moderate slap, your dick hardening from the sensation of her ass rippling against it. Between moans Johyun finally manages to speak.
“What are you doing Eunbi?” She gasps.
Eunbi briefly lifts herself away from Johyun’s pussy.
“I have to clean you out. Can’t leave any of his cum in you,” Eunbi hisses. “Don’t want anything unexpected to happen.” 
“That’s not nice. It’s rude to steal someone else’s gift.” Johyun whimpers as she starts to sit up.
As Eunbi continues to eat her out, Johyun looks at you while moaning. You give her a mischievous wink as you slam your dick inside Eunbi’s tight cunt. Johyun smiles as her pussy muffles Eunbi’s scream. Wet from Johyun eating her out, Eunbi’s fluids drip from her pussy. Since Her body is already used to your dick, you violently slam your dick against her womb. Your thrusts piercing into her, Eunbi’s ass thunders against your waist. Leaning over her back, you grope Eunbi’s breasts from behind. The tight walls of her cunt clamp against your dick. Your fingers massage and squeeze every part of Eunbi’s supple breasts that they can. As you pinch her nipples, her walls push against your shaft.
Your dick pounding her insides, Eunbi lifts her face off of Johyun’s pussy again. Now it’s Johyun’s turn to be vindictive, as she pushes Eunbi’s face back onto her cunt. Not knowing if you’ll get another chance with how Eunbi is, you lean over Eunbi and kiss Johyun. A soft moan floats into your mouth as your tongue slips past Johyun’s lips. Eunbi appears to know what’s happening as her cunt tightens from hearing Johyun’s moans. Your tongues swimming around each other, saliva from your kiss drips onto Eunbi’s back. You vigorously slam into Eunbi’s depths as her hot walls viciously grip your cock. Her fluids splash onto your balls from your frantic thrusts.
You and Johyun pull away from the kiss, a shared moan resonating from your mouths. A shimmering thread of saliva connects you before snapping and slapping back to Johyun’s chin. Jealous from the moans, Eunbi digs her fingers into Johyun’s thighs and aggressively slurps her pussy. Johyun unleashes a piercing moan and wraps her meaty thighs around Eunbi’s head. Your turn being jealous, you give Eunbi’s ass a firm smack for stealing your spot between Johyun’s thighs. Muffled moans make their way out of Johyun’s thighs as you violently slam into Eunbi. Pretty sure that her thick thighs are blocking all the sound, you air your grievances to Johyun.
“That’s not fair. That’s my spot.” You groan as you piston inside Eunbi.
“Then come get it.” Johyun replies with a seductive wink.
“Give me a few minutes.”
Turning your focus to Eunbi, your dick rams into her depths. You desperately try to satisfy Eunbi for your next turn with Johyun. Johyun releases her thigh lock on Eunbi, who lifts her head up gasping. 
“What was that about Johyun?” Eunbi moans out.
“All’s fair in love and war.” Johyun giggles.
Eunbi’s vagina constricts your shaft again. The wet walls of her cunt firmly pushing against your cock, you angle your thrusts to scrape against them. Eunbi lets out a deafening moan as your dick slams into her. The waves of her giant ass crash against you. Your hands ruthlessly grope Eunbi’s tits again, squeezing and gripping her tender flesh. Finally, Eunbi’s body trembles as her orgasm hits both of you. Her body violently twitches around your cock. Fluids from her orgasm rush down your shaft and slowly stream down your balls. You release her breasts from your grasp as you regain your breath. As you pull your cock out, Eunbi turns around and grabs your arm.
“Not yet.” Eunbi groans as she moves her body to face you.
“What do you mean?” You ask.
“You’re gonna fuck me until you cum. You already came inside Johyun. Now it’s my turn.” She whines.
“Okay. I can do that.” 
“Good. Now let me ride you.” Eunbi says as she pushes you onto your back.
Now on your back, Eunbi wastes no time straddling your waist. Within seconds she impales herself on your dick with a piercing moan. Steadying herself with her hands on your chest, Eunbi viciously bounces on your cock. Her cunt drenched from her orgasm, juices drip onto your waist. As Eunbi thrusts on top of you, her gigantic tits shake violently. Your hands shoot up and grab her chest. Eunbi’s moans bounce off the furniture as you knead her breasts in your hands. Her massive chest ripples against your fingers with each bounce. Waiting for your opportunity, you prop up your knees and thrust into Eunbi mid-bounce.
With a shattering moan, Eunbi collapses on your chest as your dick pierces into her. Panting and moaning, Eunbi struggles to prop herself with her hands next to your head. Your hands bring her tits to your mouth as you immediately devour her breasts again. Eunbi groans as you viciously slurp and suck on her nipples. Thrusting into Eunbi, you close your eyes and let yourself get lost in the sensations you’re feeling. The taste of her sweet nipple as your tongue sloppily swirls around it. Her hot walls pressuring your tip. The sound of your waist smashing against her silky skin. As you savor the taste of Eunbi’s tits, a moan makes you hesitate.
“Fuck.”
Suddenly, you realize that Johyun is the one moaning. You were so absorbed in Eunbi you had forgotten about her. Your eyes snap open to see Johyun kneeling behind your head, with Eunbi sucking her tits. Your cock violently throbs inside Eunbi at the sight of her tongue swirling around Johyun’s nipples. Johyun’s moans intensify your craving for her body. Your hands letting go of Eunbi’s tits, they travel down her curves before settling on her perfect hips. As you continue to slurp Eunbi’s nipple in your mouth, you slam her onto your cock. Eunbi shrieks as your thrusts become mindlessly animalistic. Eunbi’s hands fondle Johyun’s tits as her tongue travels between Johyun’s nipples. You furiously squeeze Eunbi’s ass as you ram your dick inside her. Aggressively pounding Eunbi’s cunt, you bite and pull on her nipples. As you feast on Eunbi’s breasts, her cunt grips your shaft so tight that it’s starting to hurt to thrust. Even through pain, you can’t slow your thrusts at the sight of Eunbi sucking Johyun’s tits. 
As Eunbi sucks and slurps on Johyun’s breasts, your tongue mercilessly rolls over her nipples. Slamming your dick as deep as you can inside her, Eunbi’s body shudders and she releases Johyun’s breasts from her mouth. Forcefully thrusting into her, you know you’re at that point as well. You look up and see Johyun staring at you. Eunbi’s floods drench your dick as her orgasm comes to an end. Locking eyes with Johyun, you violently pound out your last thrusts still sucking Eunbi’s tits. With a loud grunt, your dick throbs aggressively, a flood of cum pouring into Eunbi’s deepest parts without breaking contact with Johyun. Both of your orgasms over, your mouth finally releases from Eunbi’s breasts.
Trying to regain your breath, you lay still as your dick falls out of Eunbi. Johyun circles around and kneels by your crotch. She sticks your dick into her mouth, her tongue lapping up all the fluids on it. Your dick starts to stiffen in her mouth. As you go to get up, you realize that Eunbi isn’t moving. Panicking you motion to Johyun.
“She’s not moving. Roll her off of me so I can check her pulse.” You say frantically. 
Johyun gently rolls Eunbi off of your body to the floor next to you. As you reach to check her pulse, a deafening groan shakes the apartment. You look down to see Eunbi smacking her lips as she scratches her chest. Your eyes lock with Johyun’s in disbelief. Neither of you can believe that just fucked Eunbi to sleep. You gently pick her up and lay her on the couch. As you cover her with a blanket, you hear Johyun giggle next to you. Turning to look at her, you both lock eyes again.
“How heavy a sleeper is she?” Johyun asks.
“Oh, she won’t wake up until tomorrow.”
“I’d say that that’s how good I want you to fuck me, but I don’t think Eunbi will be happy if I’m still here when she wakes up tomorrow.” Johyun giggles.
“Guess we just need to wake up before she does then.” You say as you maintain the intense eye contact.
Smiling, Johyun drags you away from the couch again. A decent distance from the couch now, Johyun wraps her arms around your neck.
“I guess so.” She whispers as she softly presses her lips against yours. 
The two of you enjoy the warm tender kiss for several moments. Then Johyun flips the switch between loving and lustful, aggressively sliding her tongue into your mouth. Her soft tongue vigorously massages yours as she pulls her body close to you. Grabbing the back of your hair, Johyun swirls her tongue around your mouth. Your saliva constantly swapping between you, warm spit drips down both of your chins. As she presses her body against you, your stiff dick pushes firmly against her thigh. Pulling away from the kiss, Johyun gives you another smile. 
“Turn around.” You say as you stroke your dick in preparation.
Johyun frowns slightly but turns around anyway.
“I wanted to finish facing each other.” She pouts.
“Me too. But I also need to fuck you doggy before tonight is over with how amazing that ass is.”
Johyun smiles as she sticks her plump ass toward you. Not wasting any time, you grab her thick hips and forcefully slam your dick inside her. Johyun belts out a pleasured scream. You both whip your heads to check on Eunbi, who releases another snore. Knowing you’re safe, you violently ram inside Johyun. Her voluptuous ass thunderously claps against your waist. You would never dare say it out loud, but Johyun is tighter than Eunbi. Your cock pounding inside her, her walls constrict your shaft. Panting moans squeak out of her with every thrust.
The sensation of her flesh rippling around you, your dick pries into Johyun’s depths. Her pussy is dripping wet as you push yourself deeper inside her. With every slam her supple ass quakes against you. Her meaty thighs shudder as your dick pounds inside her. As you vigorously ram her cunt, Johyun’s arms give out and she rests her forearms on the ground. Your dick throbbing inside her, you angle your thrusts like you did with Eunbi, forcefully scraping against Johyun’s tight walls.
Her perfect ass reverberating against your slams, you slap both hands on her ass cheeks and squeeze everything you can. Your violent thrusts shaking her ass, Johyun moans as your fingers press into her tender skin.  As you squeeze and fondle her ass, her soft flesh pours out of your hands. Her cunt clamps onto your dick, slowly adjusting to your shape. Pushing your cock as deep as it can go, you stop thrusting. Johyun squirms desperately around your cock.
“Why did you stop? Please fuck me. I want you to fuck me baby.” She whines.
The moment you were waiting for, your dick throbs upon hearing Johyun’s dirty pleas. You give her perfect ass one more squeezing slap before pulling your dick out to turn Johyun onto her back. On her back with her perfect body spread out waiting for you, you immediately lay on top of Johyun. With a forceful push, your dick presses against her depths again. A loud moan fills the apartment, but this time both of you are far too filled with lust to pay attention to Eunbi. Johyun throws her arms around your neck as your cock slams into her. You lick your lips as you aggressively squeeze her breasts.
“I can’t believe you let Eunbi taste these before me.” You say as your mouth dives towards her nipple.
Your tongue starts its assault on Johyun’s nipple, rubbing and massaging it in your mouth. The sweet taste of her nipple only feeds your hunger for her body. Rolling your tongue around it, you suck and bite on her nipple. As you pull and slurp on her breasts, your thrusts into Johyun become increasingly violent. Pressing your head into her tits, Johyun’s sharp moans shoot past your ears. You pound against her tight cunt as her delicious breasts bounce wildly in your mouth. Her passionate screams fill the apartment as your dick slams against her womb. 
Frantically pounding into her, your cock pierces into Johyun’s depths. You bite and pull on her nipple, loudly slurping on her heavenly tits. Johyun digs her nails into your neck as your thrusts hit her deepest spot. Another pleasured scream shatters your ears. Your dick twitches and you both know you’re almost finished. Johyun hooks her glorious legs around your waist again. The sensation of her thighs jiggling against your waist only intensifies your slams even more. As your thrusts become increasingly frantic, Johyun lifts your face away from her breasts. While you aren’t quite done with them, her eyes plead with you.
“I know this is asking a lot. But I want to kiss you when we cum. I won’t get another chance for this. Please let me be selfish.” Johyun moans with a sad glint in her eyes.
A pain twangs in your heart as you listen to her desperate moans. You turn to make sure Eunbi is still asleep on the couch. Upon seeing Eunbi release another huge snore, you turn back to Johyun and nod. She gives you a sad smile and pulls your face in. Her arms wrap around your neck again as her soft lips press against yours. As you go to enter your tongue into her mouth, she pushes it out and you can feel Johyun shaking her head. Opening your eyes, the look in her eyes says it all. That isn’t the kind of kiss she wants. 
Acknowledging her wishes, you continue the soft kiss that Johyun wants. As you hammer out your final thrusts, Johyun’s body tights around you. Her thick thighs squeezing your waist, her hot walls tightly grip your shaft. A long moan buzzes against your lips as her cunt fills with her juices. Her pussy trembles against your waist. At the same time your dick twitches with that familiar tightness. You hold back for half a thrust, timing it so you release right as you slam into the deepest part of her cunt. With one last resounding sound of your flesh crashing against each other, your dick plunges as deep as it can. Your cock throbs violently, unleashing a flood of cum inside Johyun. You feel your dick spurt out more thick streams into her. Her moist walls constrict your shaft, trying to squeeze every last drop cum out of you. Despite being the third time, you’re confident that was the most that’s come out of you today. 
Your dick falling out of her, you release from the kiss you held this long before rolling over next to her. You look to one side to see Eunbi still snoring, now with one leg propped up on the back of the couch. Turning to the other, you see Johyun giving you an angelic, satisfied smile. She looked so happy that her desperate begs a few minutes ago make your heart ache even more. As you try to catch your breath, she leans in and gives you another warm, delicate kiss. Pulling away, she gives you one more smile as the exhaustion finally takes hold of you. As your eyes struggle to stay open, your brain laughs at itself. This time you are the one who got fucked to sleep. 
As a pan clangs in the kitchen, your eyes fly open as the adrenaline wakes you up. Looking around, you see Eunbi fixing something in the kitchen. Groaning, you reach over and check your phone. 9:18 AM. It’s the next morning already. As you stand up, you notice that Johyun isn’t anywhere to be found. Before you ask where she is, Eunbi beats you to the punch.
“I can’t believe you fucked me to sleep last night. It’s been a long time since that happened. What did you guys do after that? She was gone when I woke up.” Eunbi asks as she scrubs a pot in the sink.
“We watched an episode or two of a drama until the laundry was finished. Then she left.” You lie.
“Ah okay, well that was a good time honestly. I’m glad we did it. All of it.” Eunbi turns and gives you a loving smile that fills you with guilt. 
“Now come get your breakfast. We’ve got stuff to do today.” She says as she gestures to the table. 
As you walk to the table, you notice a piece of paper peeking out of your phone case. Slipping it out carefully, you look at it when Eunbi isn’t looking. It’s a note from Johyun, with just a single word.
“Thanks.”
A few months later, you and Eunbi have broken up. Surprisingly it isn’t because of the events of that night. It was a mutual and friendly break up so that you could both focus on your careers. You're still close friends and occasionally hook up on nights like tonight. Turning off your computer, you smile at the screensaver you still have of the both of you smiling. You stand up, putting on your coat when you see another light still on in another cubicle. Johyun’s. 
The events of that night did ultimately bury the hatchet, and the three of you hang out every now and then. That threesome never happened again, but you silently decided that it’s for the best if it doesn’t. You walk over to say goodbye to her. As you approach her cubicle, you see Johyun struggle to hang something up on her wall with a thumbtack. It flutters to the floor, but by the time you reach her cubicle, she has picked it up already. You tap the wall of her cubicle and give her a small wave.
“Hey, I’m heading out for the night. Don’t work too late and take care of yourself. Have a good night.” You say, giving her a friendly smile.
“I won’t. Good night.” Johyun replies as she manages to successfully stick the picture up this time.
Johyun gives you a smile so loving it makes you flashback to the night when she begged you to kiss her. You give her a polite bow and start walking away. After a few steps, a thought registers in your brain and your feet stop in their tracks. As you turn around, you stand there and silently look at the picture of the sonogram she just hung on her cubicle.
