man no hate to sarai or ruza but i would've been ape shit over a lazlo/nero pairing... when narrative foils understand and complete each other i go fucking crazy
#yeah nero was a dick the whole first book#and the entirety of the time they knew each other#but he got a redemption arc#and lazlo forgave him#tbh the romance plots were the least interesting thing about the books#except tzara and calixte those two can stay#because calixte is funny as hell when she's embarrassing nero#also ruza felt a little.. young? for him?#he's 18 but he's soooo childish#(in a fantasy world like this it's more about maturity level than strict ages in my own humble opinion)#(nero is 20 like lazlo but feels older because having the fate of the kingdom placed on your shoulders ages you real quick)#ANYWAY this isnt about age anyway#it's about how lazlo and strange's characters mirror and complete each other#which makes them much more interesting than their canon relationships in my humble opinion#also#almost every internal dialogue from nero is âwhat would strange thinkâ followed by âwhy should i care what strange thinksâ#he's so gay for him bro#ugh anyway#cracks knuckles guess i have to do it myself#eventually#strange the dreamer#muse of nightmares#sarai#ruza#lazlo strange#thyon nero

spill your guts
sirius black x reader one-shot ! warnings: miscommunication? (apparently, thatâs all ik how to write), friends to lovers, mentions of injury, no war AU! word count: 6,730 masterlist a/n: sorry I've been MIA uni is BEATING my ass and i rewrote this like 35 times, enjoy!
âI have this dream that I am hitting my dad with my quidditch batâ Sirius's clammy skin and the breeze that flew in from the window you had slightly cracked open when he awoke hyperventilating, caused goosebumps to crawl up his skin. You stayed quiet at his confession, your eyes trained on his face but his burned holes into your baby blue duvet. âAnd all he does is scream and cry for help-â
He took a sharp breath, this was one of those rare times when everything rotting inside him tried spilling out. For many years it was just James and Remus, Peter occasionally, but now he found that he couldnât help but want to spill his guts to you. You stayed quiet as he spoke, scared to say anything that would cause him to shut himself in again.
âAnd maybe halfway through, I realized that it has more to do with me killing him than it ever did protecting myself.â Sirius never spoke of his father. His mother usually plagued his nightmares and it was the abuse he was more inclined to share.
Not his father's.
âHe was really pushing his luck-â His dry laugh, seemed cruel, but you could see how his fingers fidgeted, playing with a small thread on the edge of his boxers. The need to light a cigarette flashed in his mind.Â
You knew the man was dead. You were with Sirius and the rest of the marauders the day he was buried. After everyone else had left the funeral, the brothers stared at the coffin on the altar of the mausoleum the rest of their family rested in. Regulus didnât speak a word but gripped Siriusâs arm with white-hot knuckles. Sirius put his cigarette out on the shiny, polished wood, one last act of defiance. His brother nodded, almost as if in approval, but not quite, and apparated away with their family house elf soon after. Sirius linked his arm with yours. You didnât ask how he died, nor did you ask about the brothers' relationship now that both of their abusers were dead and buried. Now that everything between them rotted away.
You never wanted to push the boundary more than heâd let you. Your relationship, if thatâs what you could call it, was already precarious as it was.
Tonight had started like many others, Sirius knocking at your door. The flat you shared with Dorcas in front of the one he shared with Peter and Remus. And you answered, you always did.
âyou look good tonight-â You thought the way too small sleeping shorts were the reason he said so, it wasnât the mismatched socks or the oversized muggle band tee you had stolen from their dorm fifth year. Definitely not the messy, bed-ridden hair. He had only seen your face, the glint in your eyes, and the pull of your smile. That had been enough for him to decide you were the most beautiful creature on the planet. âcan I sleep in your bed?â You said yes.
You always said yes.
You didnât have sex. But you slept together, his fingertips digging into the supple skin of your waist as he slept with his face buried in your neck. You often played with his hair, tracing spirals on his back until he snored softly. You wouldnât have guessed that tonight would end up with him waking up, in a cold sweat and gasping for breaths, much less confessing his dreams of murdering his already deceased father.
You didn't hold that against him.
You took a hesitant hold of his trembling fingers, he seemed to welcome the touch as he intertwined his fingers with yours.
He pulled you close to him again after he laid back down. The window remained open with the nippy night breeze flowing in, but his skin eventually lost its goosebumps and his grip ultimately loosened, he was soft and warm and moldable now. He melted onto your side and you couldn't help but stare. At his perfect nose and perfect lips, the weight of the world that he held on his shoulders faded away when he slept, even if just for a few hours.Â
You reveled in the fact that it was your bed he felt this comfortable in.
You hoped it was only yours.
-
Even the mornings where he had crawled out of your bed and your flat, the ones where you awoke alone and cold, he stayed in your head. He had imprinted himself on your mind, he had made it his home. Sirius Black, the man you were not dating, but the man you shared your bed with, occasionally made breakfast with in between fits of laughter. The man who had declared very loudly, and very drunkenly, that you'd make the perfect girlfriend at a party four months ago, and yet continued to ignore any hint that there might be something else between the two of you. Your bed felt cold the rare nights he didn't knock at your door, at this point your entire apartment called for his presence. Dorcas joked that he was your third roommate.
You always wondered if he had found some muggle girl to woo for the night, sleep in her foreign bed, and disappear in the morning. You wondered if he ever stayed 'til the morning in their beds, if he enjoyed them more than he enjoyed you. If your bed and your embrace weren't enough.
Until there was a knock at your door, the clock marked 1:27 am.
"A long time ago, my great-great-great-great-grandfather took something that did not belong to him," You wondered if this would also become ritual, him baring his heart naked. Baring his family's sins, his sins, to you. As if your divine acceptance would tip the scales, and that it would weigh his heart as pure. Your skin was the one riddled with goosebumps this time, as the cold that seeped through the window nipped at the thin material of your shirt and you duvet stayed discarded at the foot of the bed. You didn't mind it. He blew the smoke of his cig out the open window and turned to look at you again, unapologetically staring into your eyes. "And that is why I kind of look the way I do, 'm part Veela," you wondered if his confessions were a new level of intimacy you had gained access to.Â
"As if I couldn't tell," he gave you a crooked smirk, the type he gives you when he's about to make some obscene, dirty joke. He didn't this time though. You visibly saw his shoulders relax when you made a quick quip, ignoring the heavy atrocity of his ancestors. It wasn't him after all, why would you hold it against him? He hummed, reveling secretly in your compliment. Maybe you genuinely did think he was beautiful. Regardless of the tattoos that now littered his body, or the scars of abuse that would never leave him, or even the random bruises that sometimes stained his porcelain skin, from his bike, from Moony's transformations, from everything. Maybe you even saw past the commitment issues, and unspoken words, or the fact that he left you to wake up to an empty bed often.
Maybe, somehow, you were able to look past all of that. All of him.
Sirius knew it was wishful thinking.
-
âDonât look at me like that Moony,â Sirius said with a groan as he stood at the door, still holding the handle from closing it. Remus glared at him from the top of his cup as he sipped his tea, Sirius really wanted to skip the whole lecture, you woke up early meaning he also had to, and had to make the treacherous journey across the hall. He glanced at the clock on the wall, it glanced 6:30 am back at him. Why was Remus even awake?
âyouâre a prat Padfoot-â
âI needed some sleep, it's not like we're-â
âIt doesnât matter, what youâre doing to that poor girl is horrible, if you really canât sleep drink some tea, go to a physicianâ Remus turned his back to Sirius, angrily cleaning his cup in the sink, although he couldnât see him, Sirius knew Remusâs face was twisted into one of disappointment and anger. âyou know she loves you, and you use it instead of telling her there will never be anything between you-â
âI love herâ
âYouâre not in love with her, are you?â He turned the water off, turning around with a glare as Sirius stayed quiet. âShe is.â
Sirius didnât know what he felt for you if he was honest. He loved you, though. He had always loved you. From the days you ran around with the four of them around Hogwarts, when you passed notes in class, when you accompanied him on secret trips to the kitchens, when you helped clean his wounds at Potter Manor the summer he ran away. Sirius has always loved you.
Remus might think thatâs worse.
âStop sleeping with her and having breakfast with her the morning after, Merlin-â he took a deep breath, his fingers coming up to rub his temples in frustration and the Welsh accent seeped into his words, âWhat the hell are you thinking Sirius?â
Remus knew he was being tough, but he felt bad. He felt bad about the way your eyes always trailed after the boy, and how you always stared at Siriusâs closed bedroom door when you were over for tea. You needed to be able to move on with your life. It didnât help you and Dorcas lived right in front of them.
âAlright Moony,âÂ
âYouâll leave her alone?â Sirius refused to meet the taller boy's eyes.
âIâll tryâ
-Â
Sirius did not listen to Remus.Â
He never did really, but he felt guilty now. He stared at you from your bed, you paced around stripping away the day, being a healer at St Mungo's was an arduous job most days. Some it was just kids with dragon pox and their mothers who came with worry stitched in their souls, doing rounds with residents that had been there longer than you, the older ladies always gave you candy. You didn't know where they were getting it from. Most nights you dragged yourself into your apartment late enough you might as well say itâs morning, and dropped, ruined and exhausted, on your bed. The worst days, it was back-to-back shifts of trying to heal curses, creature attacks, and mysterious maladies that left you drained and hopeless. Ones that made you fear the magical world that surrounded you. These nights you would've sought Sirius out, the way he did you, but you didn't need to. He was always there, somehow knowing and waiting outside your door. Sometimes, he was just exiting his apartment, going to knock on yours when you came up the stairs, other nights, like this one, he waited for you. He sat on the floor with his back against your door and his eyes closed until he heard your footsteps. He stood and greeted you silently with a kiss to your temple.
He trailed after you, into your room and onto your bed. So he sat, his back against the wall and the bottom parts of his legs hanging from the bed. He didn't say much, he observed as you sighed and sniffed, wiping your eyes as you muttered to yourself. He watched in awe as you took off the green healer robes they made you wear, your buttoned shirt coming off with it.Â
âI donât understand how hard it is to keep your kid away from places like those, the kid was barely five and now he has all these welts-â you huffed in frustration as you stripped off your pants and walked into the bathroom, the door open so you could continue to ramble âhow does a five-year-old get cursed? I had to call the Ministry-â
Sirius didnât think he could deny the fact that he reveled in these moments, he couldn't hide it for the life of him. The ones where you were so comfortable with him, walking around in your mismatched underwear angrily rambling about negligent mothers and how now you have to testify at the Ministry next week. It was laced with domesticity and a cloying sweetness that covered his skin. He wanted to stop you and kiss you silly. To sleep with you, in all your naked glory, and not care because youâd be together. He shook away the need to keep you for himself. He shuffled close to the edge of the bed, his feet finally touching the floor and he picked up a trinket on your nightstand. He bought it for you when he visited France last summer. He promised Regulus he'd gone to see him a few days. It went well, he realized. He also thought of the fact he didn't tell you that's what he went to do.
âSirius?"
"Hm?" he finally focused back on your words, his eyes flickering back to you and the small smile that formed on your lips when you saw what he had in his hand.Â
"I said, what'd you reckon will happen to the kid?" your smile faded, and you picked nervously at your cuticles as you thought about him. Would they take him away? Would he be put in an orphanage? It was protocol you had no other choice but to call... and yet you couldn't stop thinking about it. You started moving around your room again, like a bee collecting pollen from flowers. Bees were cute, right? Sirius hoped you wouldn't think he was silly, Bees were cute, he decided. You grabbed a couple of items of clothing, collecting them in one arm as the other one massaged your scalp.Â
"I dunno," he remembered to answer now, "I had never thought about it,"
He could hear you turn on the shower, but you padded back into the room as the water warmed. You looked at him, still in your underwear, the eye bags underneath your eyes were visible, your makeup long faded by now.Â
"You never went because of your mum?" He shook his head, and you shuffled closer, the side of your leg pressed against the bed and your knee knocking with his as you looked down at him. Your hand went to caress his hair instinctively, his soft glossy curls sliding through your fingers easily. "I'm sorry no one noticed Sirius," this part was a whisper now, you feared overstepping a boundary you weren't aware of. He smiled at you, his hand coming up to pinch your naked side.Â
You yelped and batted his hand away with a laugh.Â
"She's good and dead now, I reckon it doesn't matter anymore-" He gave you a saddened smile, his nimble fingers grabbing a hold of your hand pulling you closer to him again. It was private moments like this, that confused you. The intimacy of it all, the way his lips pressed against the back of your hand and looked at you through half-lidded eyes. You were suddenly hyper-aware of how naked you actually were. You had been friends for the majority of your life, shame was long gone, but when you were so close you could feel his breath across the stretch of your tummy, it felt different.
"I reckon it does matter," You pressed a small kiss to his forehead and unpeeled yourself from him, "don't bury it all inside you, Mr Black"
You floated away now, in the sea of your anxiety over your actions, closing the bathroom door behind you.Â
Sirius had a lot of destructive behaviors, he knew that. The smoking since he was fifteen, the reckless way he rode his motorcycle around, the growing collection of tattoos on his body, the tumultuous relationship he had with his brother, Merlin definitely the excessiveness in which he drank, not to mention the way he showed up at the Potter's every once in a while seeking James's comfort and unconditional love, ignoring the fact that the man was a father and had a million things on his shoulders. Lily didnât seem to mind. At least he was a decent godfather, took care of Harry to perfection, it took a few tries but he got it. Loved him with his entire heart. But you, Sirius, thought you might be the worst of it.
The worst thing heâs ever done to himself is allow for this domesticity between you.
You came back from your shower with your hair slightly damp and smelling of your signature body wash scent, sweet and enveloping. The oversized shirt that covered your torso was almost long enough to cover 'til your upper thighs. It made Siriusâs lips curl into a lopsided smile that he tried to repress.
He was lying down now, starfishing on your bed as he stared at the ceiling.
âAre you coming to bed?â The clock blinked 3 AM at you, and Sirius reached his hand out. You walked closer to him, a small smile playing on your lips. You sent the towel you had been using back to its spot with a swish of your hand. Basic handless magic was a difficult skill to gain but Merlin so gratifying.Â
âI forgot my pants silly,â he shook his head no, and reached for your hand with a bit more effort, grabbing a hold of it and pulling you down with him.
âLetâs just sleep, you donât need those-â He covered the two of you with your heavy duvet as you laughed, he leaned over you to turn off the lamp on your nightstand.
Yes, Sirius thought as he buried his face in the crook of your neck and threw one of his arms over your torso. You were the worst thing he had ever done to himself. He would never be able to let go, your hands stroking his hair until one of you fell asleep, the small ânight that slipped past your lips just as your eyes fluttered shut. He'd never get enough of your saccharine scent that enveloped him like a blanket, comforting and warm. All-encompassing and suffocating, in each otherâs arms every night, in the comfort of your room.Â
Sirius knew it deep in his heart, what he had been afraid of for so long. Maybe Remus had it all wrong, maybe he was in love with you.
Because what else could this feeling be?
-
You tried to ignore the ache in your heart when you woke up to an empty bed. You tried to forget the fact that youâd probably do it all again tonight, and the next night too, all to bear the fruit of nothing.Â
Dorcas shook her head and she pushed a cup of coffee towards you.Â
âDonât look at me like that Dorcas -â
âI love Sirius as much as the next guy but-â you picked up the coffee and sighed at its warmth âHeâs being a prat honey-â
âIt's not like weâve been having sex, he just needs some sleepâ You shook your head and looked away, afraid that your eyes would betray you, âhell I needed sleep tooâ
âIt doesnât matter, Y/N youâre a healer get him a stock of sleeping draught and yourself some too while youâre at itâŚâ She furrowed her brows but you stayed quiet, not daring to meet her gaze âI know you love him, but Iâm not so sure he sees you that way-â
â Iâm not in love with himâ
âI didnât say you were in love,â Dorcas sighed now, placing her cup on the sink and walking towards the small chimney in your flat. âPromise me it wonât happen anymore, that youâll try to break it offâ
âIâll try Dorcas,â she didnât believe you much, you didnât believe yourself either, the Floo Flames engulfed her body.
It was hard to, separate yourself from him that is. Sirius Black was addicting, simply from the way he moved. Just watching him is entrancing on its own. Speaking to him, with his suave words and low tone. Everything about him, everyone craved to have a simple conversation, have even an ounce of his attention. Sleeping in his arms though, heart to heart? Now that was in a league of its own.Â
-
You dragged yourself into your building, the day bearing down on you. You half hoped that Sirius would be waiting outside your door again, sitting waiting for you to lay in his arms. Disappointment added to the sack of bricks you felt like you were carrying when you turned to see the empty hallway. You sluggishly made your way up to your door, hoping to see Sirius's head pop out of his apartment door. Giggles came down your hall, as you fiddled with your keychain trying to find your key. The drunken whispers got louder and just as you grabbed a hold of your key you heard your name echo softly down the hall.
You dropped your keys in surprise as you took in the sight. Sirius stood rather close to a short woman, her bubbling laughter and her roaming hands didn't stop when he let his arm drop from her shoulders. All color drained from his face and his drunk, loose smile fell quickly from his lips. The girl that clung to him like gum to a shoe hadnât noticed your presence nor how Sirius seemed to sober up at the sight of you.
You scrambled to pick up your keys as the blonde started whispering in his ear, starting to pull at him again. He called out your name one more time, moving towards you now, dragging the poor girl down the hallway with him.
âhave a good night Sirius-âÂ
You miraculously managed to get your key in the hole swiftly, turn it, open, and lock yourself inside just in time. Pressing your back against the door, your heart felt like it might leap out of your chest. You had always hoped that he wasnât seeing other people, or meeting anyone else. And the absence of encounters just like this one had solidified that thought, you were properly convinced. Now though. You had just been lucky enough to not encounter them. You thought back, it was impossible not to feel like Siriusâs look had been one of guilt. Like he got caught. But the two of you werenât anything.
You were painfully reminded of that fact tonight.
You hadn't noticed how fast or how hard your heart was beating. You felt like it was ready to break through your ribs, leaving you shattered and with a void in your chest. But it didn't do such a thing. No, you stayed perfectly intact, even as you felt the panic batter your chest and the notion that you were definitely not the only woman in his life torturing your heart.
"What's wrong?" Dorcas said in a whisper as she looked up, her large glasses sliding down her nose. The yellow lamps that decorated your apartment gave Dorcas's dark skin a low golden tone, like the type you'd see in paintings of candlelights and sultry lounges. Marlene was over today, her short, bleached blonde strands fanning over her face as she slept with her head on Dorcas's lap, her arms wrapped around the girl's waist. If it had been any other time you would've run for the muggle Polaroid camera Lily bought you, flashing a picture of the two of them.
"Sirius was just outside with some girl," Dorcas gasped now and shot up, dropping Marlene's head on the couch. The blonde groaned awake and asked what was wrong.
"Sirius brought home a girl" The blonde shot up as well and the girlfriends ran to the door, trying to look through the peephole. "Well this whole thing has gone arse over tit hasn't it?" Marlene pushed Dorcas off for her turn at the peephole.Â
"There's no 'thing' between us anyway"
"Well, shit" The blonde outside kept pawing at Sirius, trying to reach his face, to eat it Marlene guessed. He stared at the door, trying to hold the girl who stuck to him back. Marlene felt as if she was in a staring competition. She knew Sirius couldnât see her but she still liked the thought that sheâd win.
Dorcas was the first to peel herself off of the door and pull you into a tight embrace. Her hand rubbed circles on your back and Marlene followed, embracing the two of you. They smelled coconut-y and sweet, even the remainder of Marlene's stronger perfume wafted over you ever so slightly. It was grounding, really, to be hugged tightly by your closest friends, the smell of home, the comfort of knowing that you were loved, even if it wasn't by him.
"I'll hex him for you if you want" Marlene's suggestion, although serious, wasn't necessary. You shook your head sighing.Â
"He didn't do anything-" Dorcas flicked your head now, a frown forming on her face as the three of you parted.Â
"Like hell, he didn't-"
"He doesn't owe me anything 'Cas don't be harsh"
"He's been sleeping in your bed for the better part of six months I reckon he owes you a lot" Dorcas gave you a look of pity now, like you were a wounded abandoned animal.
"I say we set his motorbike on fire," Marlene suggested casually like she was talking about the weather. You slowly peeled your layers off, as you dragged your feet towards your room. You knew the girls felt bad for you, but it was your fault. Who in their right mind would let Sirius Black so into their hearts, knowing that no commitment would ever come from it?Â
You.Â
You would.Â
From his muscles softened under your touch, his warmth spreading to your body, to the way he mumbled in his sleep. It was something your soul craved to see, to feel, to hear. He had bewitched you, without you wanting him to, without meaning to allow him. You threw yourself on your bed, starfished and in your underwear, freshly showered. The water did not wash away the regret nor the hurt. They only made you think of coming back to Sirius in your bed, smiling and pulling you into his arms. Your sheets were cold, and tucked in neatly, very unlike the cozy mess Sirius usually made of it. So you stared, long and hard at the white of your ceiling. You prayed sleep would take you, you were exhausted. Like your body had been beaten, like your heart had split in two.Â
No such sleep would overtake you. Instead, you could hear frantic knocks on your front door, your muscles twitched but you didn't dare move, like if you breathed he'd know. You heard Dorcas rip the door open, the force of it reverberating through your small flat.Â
"You got some balls coming here," It was muffled, but you could still hear the venom in her voice. She didn't let him speak. "You're going to die cold, sad, and alone Blackâ don't you ever forget it" She threw the door closed now, the bang shaking your room again. It was jarring to hear that, especially from someone as sweet as Dorcas was, and she meant it. Hell, you felt like she would make sure of it, no matter the cost.Â
"Sweetheart-" Dorcas spoke through the door, her knuckles grazing the wood but not quite knocking. You didn't answer.
A muffled she must be asleep, and you felt like you could breathe again. You knew Sirius wouldn't end up alone. If he did romantically, the friendships in his life would fulfill that void anyway. He had a family. Most of your friends were his, and you knew, that you could never ask any of them to walk around the uncomfortable wall that seemed to form between you, or god forbid pick sides. It was stupid, you knew there was no reason you should be upset. You were not together. You weren't anything to him, and he wasn't supposed to be to you.
But oh he was. He was everything.
-
On nights like these, you thought you might reach your limit and have to be admitted into the psychiatric ward of St Mungo's yourself. You felt sweaty, and the stuffy healer robes didn't help to ease the heat that crawled up your skin. Your hair felt frizzy and out of place, and your buttoned-up shirt felt like it was choking you, but you couldn't stop. You couldn't afford to nor could the patients that kept coming in. The St Mungo's emergency room was nothing short of a battleground, it was vile and the worst turn to get. Especially during the overnight shift. These were the types of shifts that made you second guess your career choice, the ones that made you want to throw in the towel and drag yourself back into your apartment and never come out.Â
"Y/N come on, they're bringing in a flying vehicle accident-" you frowned as you let your turn partner drag you towards one of the newly entered patients. For the first time that shift, you felt dread crawl up your throat, your heart skipping a beat as you saw Sirius lying unconscious on the bed. For a second you thought you had forgotten how to breathe, your fingertips felt numb and your ears rang. His perfect nose was bloody, his perfect lip bruised and split. There were scrapes on his cheeks, and his jeans had been ripped and stained red. It wasn't noticeable at first, but the metallic smell and the caked-on blood on his black jacket became visible as you approached, it all made it clear, it had been bad.
You couldn't understand what your partner was telling you, the ringing in your ears too loud for you to make out the words, but as they moved Sirius onto a proper bed, it all came crashing down again. Repeated prayers of no's rang through your head along with pleas to a higher power to let this be a nightmare, one you'd wake up from cold and sweaty but knowing he's safe. No such relief came, and your fingertips buzzed with electricity once again, moving so fast it was like you moved at two times speed. You couldn't think of anything but prayers, to what? You didn't know, but you did so nevertheless. To the stars, and the heavens, or the magic that ran through your blood, through his. You didn't know. But you muttered words of hope and love, as you cleaned his wounds, hoping he'd hear you.
You busied yourself and basically assigned yourself to his care, after they moved him out of the ER, into one of the beds in the rows of other patients divided by sheets. You barely left his side, just to shower and change into the spare clothes Dorcas had brought you reluctantly, mildly upset you were taking care of Sirius. You ate next to him, talked to him, read your favorite poems, and hummed his favorite songs. He mumbled here and there, and his eyes would flutter sometimes which you took as a good sign but the tension didn't leave your shoulders, and your prayers never ended.
James, Remus, and Peter passed by, dropping some baked goods off and comforting you with teary hugs.Â
"I told him that bloody bike would kill him-" Remus said as he shook his head and sat next to Sirius for a bit, his hand on the boy's knee.
"How's he doing doc?" you rolled your eyes, amusement played in James's eyes at the pull of your lips. He had always secretly been a worrywart, but he played it off well as if his heart didn't almost beat out of his chest when he got the call.
"As long as he wakes up he'll be fine-" He smiled genuinely now, "Few broken bones," He hummed, looking at Remus and Peter huddled next to Sirius's bed.
"few broken bones hm? wouldn't be the first time." You talked for a while, each one of you ignoring the nagging feeling of worry. Sirius's boisterous laugh was poignantly missing from the conversation. But soon enough, James's father's duties called and he pressed a kiss on Sirius's forehead and one on yours very fatherlike and apparated away, Remus and Peter gathered themselves up as well not long after.
"Call if anything, okay doll?" Remus pulled you into a tight hug, his lips pressing against your temple as well. Peter gave you a small hug, his eyes trailing over Sirius's form sadly.Â
You were left alone again, the window panes that surrounded the hall letting some moonlight in. Time felt like a thick jelly, your eyes staring at the clock as you ran your hands through his hair, the exhaustion was quickly catching up to you. But the thought of another coffee made your stomach churn and your eyelids felt heavy like lead. So you gripped his hand tightly and laid your head against his arm.
If he woke up, you'd be there.
-
Sirius felt like he might be in heaven, the second his eyes fluttered open you were there. Your face pressed between his forearm and the bed, your hand tightly clutching his. He could feel the ghost of your lips on his skin and goosebumps threatened to crawl up his spine, his thoughts straying to your pout. Your closed eyes and your steady breathing made it clear you were sleeping, Sirius couldn't help but smile. He very rarely got to watch you like this, by some miracle he always fell asleep first and woke up second. You were so lovely, with your soft skin and the angelic glow from the light of the moon glaring against the curve of your face. If it wasn't for the stinging in his face or the way his ribs felt like they were collapsing in on themselves, Sirius would've sworn up and down he had died and gone to heaven.
He squeezed your hand, and the weight of the realization that you had been taking care of him fell on him. Guilt clawed at his throat, he had broken your heart and you still took care of him. He'll never forget the look on your face, the surprise, and the tears that threatened to fall. There was no other word to use besides heartbreak, and it had been his fault. He didn't know why he had brought her home, he didn't particularly fancy the girl, but the alcohol made his veins feel warm and she smiled at him and the impulsiveness and self-destruction within himself were a shoot-first ask-questions later duo that ruled his brain. He realized that you deserved more. More than him, more than the empty bed he left you with, or the avoidance of feelings. Sometimes Sirius wished you'd forget him. It would be better for you.
To forget his face, forget his name.
Your eyes began to pry open, and he couldn't help but spill his guts again.Â
"For so long I hoped I'd fall asleep at the wheel and crash my motorbike on the ride home-" Your heart jumped to your throat, your head shooting up at the realization he was awake. His words were raspy and as much as he tried they were barely a whisper. "But then you came back from your apprenticeship, and moved right in front and it felt like-" he looked away now, his fingers fidgeting with yours. "Like you were that light at the end of the tunnel." Your hand was still pressed against his.Â
"I stopped wanting to fall asleep on the bike, I just wanted to fall asleep with you"
"You are an idiot Sirius Black" The frustration gathered over the last two days flushed your system, tears threatening to fall over "you are so reckless and so utterly stupid-" tears flowed down your cheeks but you wouldn't let them fall, furiously wiping them away with your sleeve. He looked at you heartbroken.Â
"I know love"
"No," you shook your head now and stood up, his hand falling back to the bed "You don't know, all I do is worry and care, and you don't!" your laugh came out crueler than you meant but it came out nonetheless "You never care Sirius- Oh and imagine when I don't see or hear from you for days, and suddenly you're dragged in here looking like you're seconds away from dying-" you paced around as you went on, your hands running through your hair in frustration.
"I didn't think you wanted to see me" he stared at you now, hoping to catch your gaze. Hoping to see if you meant it, hoping to see, something. Something that would tell him what he so desperately wanted to know.Â
"I always want to see you" You locked eyes with his, his stupidly gorgeous stormy eyes. And he knew, from the pain in your eyes, from the way your pupils blew the second you looked at him, from the way you softened, anger dissipated when you looked at him. You didn't understand how anyone could look like that, how even scratched up he looked like he had been carved out of marble. "All I want is to see you," you were close enough for him to reach for your hand, even with pain shooting down his ribs, he did.
"I'm sorry,â you sat on the edge of his bed, closer than you had intended, as he spoke, looking at your intertwined hands. âand Iâm sorry about the lass too-â
You scrunched up your nose, âI reckon that is none of my businessâ and he wondered how long you had to tell yourself that until you believed it.
âI sent her home, nothing happened-â
âyou can go out with whoever you wishâ
âI only want youâÂ
You looked at him again, into his eyes, into his soul. Hoping to catch a flicker of truth. His eyes looked at you with hope and want, and you knew. Sirius would never lie to you, he might be a drunk, and emotionally unavailable, and Merlin knows that heâs a mess, but Sirius Black was not a liar, especially to you. He squeezed your hands, pulling them close to his chest, pressing them against his heart.
âIâm so in love with you, you drive me mad,â he said this last part with a laugh, pulling a teary giggle out of you. You couldnât help yourself, the wetness of your eyes and cheeks coming without you meaning it to. He swiped a thumb under your eyes, a nervous laugh threatening to spill from his lips, a watery smile forming instead.
âI am regrettably, in love with you as wellâ You smiled now, looking away from his scoff. His lips curled into a full-fledged smile now, as did yours.
âAm I that awful?â
âI fear so Mr Black,â you glanced at him teasingly, the glint in your eye he loved so much returning.Â
âI reckon you wouldnât want to kiss a tosser like me then,â You couldnât help but smile, as the both of you subconsciously leaned closer. His hands cupped your cheeks as your foreheads pressed together. âCan Iââ
You didnât let him finish, finally closing the distance between you. He kissed you shyly, a trait you didnât know he possessed. You kiss him soft and open-mouthed, a small hum coming from his chest. His fingers hold on to your face, desperate to keep you close, and and you revel in the fact that his kiss turns hungry like heâd never get to kiss you again.Â
You part with a small satisfied sigh, foreheads pressed against one another and eyes fluttered shut. Sirius thought about the many times he wondered what this would feel like, to press his lips against yours. He had dreamt of this for months; when you walked around your room in your underwear ranting or every time you opened the door, he dreamt of kissing you in the mornings and late at night.
Sirius realized, as he pressed another kiss to your lips, he had dreamt of kissing you for years.

blitzø x fem!reader.
the day after another full moon, blitzø comes into the office bragging about his sexual prowess. when you make one too many snide comments about it, he decides to show you just how good stolas gets it every month.
based on an anonymous request and far longer than I originally planned.
4k.
featuring: pure smut, bondage, oral sex (m&f receiving), breathplay, dom!blitzø, overstimulation, degradation, daddy kink, sex in the i.m.p. office, creampies, very minor bloodplay.
âWell,â Blitzø makes a show of stretching his arms out in front of him as he comes strolling into the office, interlacing his fingers and cracking his knuckles. âIf the way his Royal Bird-ness was still shakinâ and droolinâ when I left is any indication, weâre good for at least another â where the fuck are you guys?!â
You roll your eyes from where youâre holed up in the conference room, suddenly wishing you had decided to work from home today. The last thing you were in the mood for was listening to your boss brag ad nauseum about his sex life; youâd had the latest of a long string of bad dates last night, and while theyâd actually managed to impress you enough to earn the chance to come home with you, theyâd proved quickly disappointing.
âIn here!â you call out despite your reluctance, your feet kicked up on the table in front of you, and you fold your arms across your chest.
âThe fuck is everyone else?â The imp demands as he enters.
âOn a Sunday? Dâyou really think M&M are gonna come in on their day off just to hear you brag about how you fucked the prince again?â
âWell, youâre here, arenât ya?â he shoots back.
You wave a hand at the stack of papers piled up beside your shoes. âI pulled the short straw on paperwork this month. Youâd remember that if you werenât so busy thinking with your dick all the time.â
He narrows his eyes at you for a moment before shrugging and rounding the table to take his own seat at the head of it. You smack away the spade of his tail as it comes up to caress your cheek mockingly as he passes, and he snickers.
âGuess youâll have to do, then. You wanna hear the panty-droppinâ play-by-play, or you want me to just tell you the gushiest top ten?â
You sigh heavily. âIâve got work to do, Blitzø.â
He cocks an eyebrow at you, tail waving back and forth behind him. A downright evil grin plays across his features and he sing-songs, âOoh, someoneâs jealous.â
âOh, sure,â you reply, voice dripping with sarcasm. âI just sit here all day, pining and completely wet with jealousy because youâre off fucking the owl instead of me. Itâs a miracle I wasnât just getting myself off right here thinking about it.â
Blitzø cocks an eyebrow, his gaze sliding down over your body. It lingers at where your thighs are pressed together, your knees against the edge of the table. He smirks up at you from under his brows when his eyes return to your face. âHey, tits, donât let me stop you. You wanna rub one out thinking about Stolas squirminâ on my thick coââ
âFor the love of Satan, please shut up.â you say dryly, and Blitzø cackles. âBesides, if you were half as good as you think you are, you wouldnât constantly feel the need to tell us about it.â
The imp scoffs, sneering. âBitch, Iâm twice as good as I think I am.â He jabs a finger at you, tossing his sunglasses onto the table in front of him. âYou might know that if you ever unwadded your panties from your ass long enough to have some fun.â
âBecause âfunâ automatically translates to getting naked with you.â
He shrugs a shoulder, that infuriating, knowing smirk still in place. âDonât have to be naked. Got plenty of things I could do to you without takinâ off a thread, and youâd still be gagginâ for more. Besides, youâre so hard up and overdue for a good bone sesh that I bet I could get you begginâ for it just as much as Birdy-boy does in half the time.â
âUh-huh,â you manage to deadpan despite the way his words have sent heat rushing through your body to warm your belly and your cheeks. Instead, you lower your feet to the floor, pointedly dragging your paperwork across the table towards you. âWhatever you need to tell yourself, boss.â
âHey!â he jabs his finger at you again, standing up so he can plant a hand on the table and lead towards you. âI donât come in here and question your skill in the sack!â
âYou just told me I was hard up!â
âYeah, but that ainât because of yourâŚâ he stops, eyes widening. A broad grin widens over his features as realization hits him and you hold back a grimace. âYou had a date last night!â
Damnit Millie. âIââ
He pouts at you mockingly, leaning closer to you and further into your personal space. Itâs getting harder to avoid his eye. âWhatâs the matter, sugartits? Did they get your motor runninâ then fail to deliver all the rough and tumble you wanted? They get you all hot and bothered, all ready to beg for it like a good little slut and then leave you high and completely fucking dry?â
âStop calling me that,â you snap, pointedly trying to ignore the insinuation. Because fuck the bastard, but heâs right⌠and something in his tone is really starting to send a prickling over your skin that leaves goosebumps in its wake.
Blitzøâs smile widens, darkening into something seductive as he moves around to your side of the table. He spins your chair towards him, taking hold of your knees and pressing them far enough apart to step up between them. You feel your face flush further. âDonât avoid the question.â
You roll your eyes again, hands curling into fists in your lap as he leans ever closer into your personal space. His claws are still wrapped around your knees, and you feel them smooth up your thighs at a glacial pace. âFuck, Blitzø, youâre such a fuckingââ
His mouth meets your roughly, teeth grazing your bottom lip before he slides his tongue into your mouth. Itâs hard and angry and hot, and he kisses you with enough force to press you back into the chair and knock the air out of your lungs. His hands are still on your thighs, and you feel his claws tighten on your flesh. Your curse yourself when you hear a whine slip out of you, and even muffled by his mouth, you just know he hears it too.
When he breaks the kiss you inhale sharply, and he only moves back to meet your eye again. His claws skim over the inside of your thighs tauntingly, and even through your jeans, it makes you shudder the closer he gets to the apex of your thighs.
âSo,â Blitzø says, and the sudden huskiness to his voice makes you swallow. His tail is switching back and forth behind him, an almost predatory edge to the movement. Thereâs a challenge in his eyes, and despite everything, it thrills you. âYou wanna fuck me or not?â
You exhale a breath in the hopes of steadying yourself. He knows the effect heâs having on you, the cocky bastard. ââŚYouâre gonna be fucking insufferable either way, arenât you?â
He nods slowly, that irritating, self-assured smile widening slightly.
You sigh, reaching up to take hold of the lapel of his jacket. He snickers as you tug him roughly back towards you.
âYou know if you suck, Iâm never gonna let you live it down, right?â
Blitzøâs attention has already dropped to your front, his fingers releasing your thighs to instead slowly unbutton your shirt. You shiver as his claws just ghost against your sternum as they move. âYou gonna talk this much during?â
âPrick.â
âBitch.â
 He spreads your shirt open, walking his fingers idly up your stomach. He palms your breast suddenly, grin widening as your breath hitches when he squeezes.
âSeriously, though, might wanna save your breath.â he continues, pinching your nipple hard. He grins when you jerk at the sudden pain. ââCause youâre gonna need those lungs for all the ways youâre gonna wanna scream my name.â
âUgh, youâre such aââ
Blitzøâs mouth is on yours again before you can finish the insult, one hand still on your breast. His other hand bunches in your hair, forcing your head back almost painfully. He bites at your bottom lip before his mouth moves lower, teeth and tongue teasing at your throat. His fangs graze your pulse point, and you hiss at the pain of it, feeling blood well up against your skin. His tongue slides over the same spot, and he purrs.
His other hand tugs the cup of your bra down to bare the soft flesh to the cold air and to him, palming it roughly. You arch under his touch, tightening your hand on his lapel and tugging him closer. Blitzø chuckles against your neck, straddling your thigh, and you shove his jacket off his shoulders.
âShoulda known youâd be an eager little slut,â he mutters against your collarbone and you take his face in your hands, bringing him back into another heady kiss. One hand moves up to flick fingers over the spines between his horns, and he groans into your mouth. âJust like Stolas⌠you uptight bitches are alwaysââ
âShut the fuck up, Blitzø,â you snap back at him, taking hold of his horn as his mouth returns to your throat and lower, lips sucking a mark into the curve where your neck meets your collarbone.
He grinds down against your thigh and you thrill at the feeling of his hardening cock against you. When his tongue finds your nipple, you gasp.
âNope,â he replies simply, annoyingly self-assured, his breath teasing the damp flesh of your breast. Your nipple tightens further under the caress of it. He cups a hand between your thighs, rubbing it roughly against your denim-covered cunt. He toys with it through your pants for a moment, pulling his hand away as soon as a moan slips past your lips. âNow, get your hot little ass up, slut. Supplies are in my office.â
âThe fuck do you need supplies for?!â
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
âHoly fuck, Blitzø!â you buck up into his mouth, eyes rolling back.
Heâs got you spread out on the desk, your hands bound up with rope and tied to the base of the legs at one end. The length of the rope has forced your hands up over your head, the ache in your biceps completely eclipsed by the sensations between your thighs. Blitzø is kneeling between them, his tail wrapped tightly around one and his hand around the other, your knees thrown over his shoulders. Heâs lifted you up off the desk so all your weight is balanced on your shoulder blades, his other hand wrapped around your stomach to reach his claws between your thighs to torture your clit.
His tongue is deep inside your cunt, the sound of his feasting on you the only thing competing with your moaning. Blitzø groans into you, and you swear you can feel his smirk when you try to grind your pussy up against his mouth, hindered by the position he has you in. His tongue finds your g-spot and you whimper brokenly, teeth digging hard into your lip. You can feel your own release dripping down between the cheeks of your ass; youâve come three times already, and your entire body is shuddering with the stimulation.
âFuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuckâŚâ you chant through gritted teeth, brow furrowed. Blitzø is watching you from beneath his brows, eyes hooded and his claws tightening on your thigh. You strain against the ropes, the threads of it digging into your wrists, and he grins against your cunt, his tongue pressing against your g-spot just as he pinches your clit. âOh, fuck!â
You cum again, hips jerking under his touch, desperate to get away from his torturous tongue.
You hate yourself a little for admitting, âBlitzø⌠I canâtâŚâ
He snickers, flicking his tongue over your clit as he withdraws it. âAw, câmon, sugar. Birdy made it all the way to six before he was tapping out and begging for me to finally give him my sweet cock. You can last longer than that, canât you, slut?â
The spade of his tail slides over your clit, and you twitch. You know heâs goading you but you canât help but clench your jaw petulantly and nod, and he grins up at you.
âThatâs a good girl,â he tells you huskily and you whimper as his breath teases over your swollen clit. He raises a brow. âOhhh, you liked that, huh? You like being a good girl for daddy.â
You glare up at him even as you feel your face flush with heat.
âYou do,â he continues cockily, tongue touching your clit for a moment and you shiver. âYou love being daddyâs good little slut, donât you?â
âIf youâŚâ you say breathlessly. ââŚIf you need a breather, Blitzø, you can just say that.â
He snorts, squeezing your ass. âUh, uh, tits. You wanna another round, I need to hear you say it.â
âSatan, youâre an asshole.â
âYup,â he replies, ever so slowly circling your clit with his thumb. You exhale shakily. âNow say it. Tell me youâll be a good little slut.â
You force yourself to heave an impatient sigh, trying to inject as much impatience into your voice as possible. Still, despite your efforts it comes out breathy and shuddering. âIâll⌠Iâll be a good slut for you⌠daddy.â
Blitzøâs grin widens victoriously and he rewards you by returning his tongue to your cunt, and your head falls back against the desk. Your chest heaves as he quickly works you undone again, two fingers pressing into you.
âAlright, alright, donât embarrass yourself, tits.â he tells you tauntingly.
âGo fuck yourself, Blitzø.â
âHeh.â he chuckles obnoxiously. âKeep talkinâ dirty like that and I might just leave you all trussed up and pretty like this for M&M to find tomorrow morning.â
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
âFuck, youâve got a slutty little mouth,â Blitzø groans as you swallow around him, choking slightly as the head of his cock brushed the back of his throat. âSatanâs taint, listen to you. Youâve been holdinâ back on me, pretendinâ to be all innocent.â
Youâd roll your eyes if he didnât choose that moment to thrust hard into your mouth, the length of him sliding against your tongue. You curl it obediently around him as he does, and his eyes roll back for a moment. Â Heâs kneeling between your bound arms, watching with hooded eyes as your throat bulges each time he fucks himself into your mouth. You can barely breath; you find yourself lightheaded even as you suck at his cock eagerly.
Youâd just barely made it to eight orgasms without blacking out before heâd finally let up, childishly determined to take more than heâd expected. It had left you sweaty and aching against the desk, and you could still feel a small pool of your own cum against your ass as youâd finally been allowed to relax your hips down against the wood.
Blitzø has claws fisted in your hair, and you whine around him as he reaches down to squeeze your breast, pinch your nipples. Every now and then he lets the spade of his tail brush over your clit, and he snickers when it makes you jerk and gag around him.
âFuck,â he moans, his hand leaving your nipple to take hold of your throat. He can feel his cock thrusting beneath your skin, and he squeezes, grinning devilishly as you let out a choking moan. âBaby likes being choked, too, huh? Youâre just full of surprises, arenât ya?â
Blitzø plays with you like that for who knows how long, withdrawing his cock from your mouth just long enough for you to pull air into your lungs with a desperate inhale before he presses in again. Youâre drooling and whimpering, body quaking against the desk as his tail starts teasing your clit again in earnest.
Your hips buck up under his ministrations, and Blitzø doesnât stop until you gag in earnest, pulling out and smirking as you cough.
âThatâs my girl.â
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Blitzøâs cock slides into your cunt slowly and you whimper at the feeling of it, eyes squeezed closed.
Heâd watched, annoyingly amused, as youâd caught your breath, sitting back on his heels over you. Then heâd surprised you by producing bottled water when heâd untied you.
Still, heâd barely given you more than a minute before he was urging you to roll over onto your knees. Heâd wrapped the rope around your thighs before retying your wrists, tightening it until it forced your thighs apart. The way heâd tied you forced you to sit with your back arched slightly, your kiss-bruised breasts on full display as you knelt on the hard wood. Youâd normally find yourself embarrassed by the way you were exposed, but the way he watched you, admired you, instead made your mind spin and your heart throb in your chest.
Youâd heard his belt buckle clink at he unfastened his pants behind you, surprising you by pressing an almost tender kiss to the side of your throat. His claws ghosted over your inner thigh, making you shiver. âAlways knew youâd look good on your knees, baby.â
Youâd turned your head as he had, catching him in a kiss that was all tongue and still-desperate need. Heâd groaned into it, letting it linger for a few long moments before he finally broke away again. Now, heâs laid out beneath you, his hands clutching at your hips as he lowers you onto his cock. You close your eyes, letting your head fall back as he bottoms out inside you. His pelvic bone brushes against your clit and you whine. Blitzø echoes the sound with a growl.
âHoly shit, sugar,â he grunts, flexing his claws against your flesh. âHoly fucking shit, didnât know someone could feel this fucking goodâŚâ
He urges you into riding him slowly, his claws trailing over the ropes crisscrossing the flesh of your thighs. The way Blitzø watches you grind over his lap sends sparks through you in ways you donât want to address and your hands strain against the ropes with the sudden urge to touch him.
You want to see how heâll react to your hands running over his sides, your nails scratching over his nipples. How heâd react to your hands gripping at his horns as you ride him. And you want to kiss him again, you want to trail your lips over his throat and feel his pulse under your tongue.
You want to work him undone that same way he has you.
Blitzø pushes his hips up into yours, hand retaking your hip. His grip is harsh and demanding, claws digging so hard into your flesh you wouldnât be surprised if it bruised. Heâs watching your breasts hungrily as they bounce with every thrust he makes up into you, and the hand still on your thigh moves to tease your clit with his thumb.
âFuck, Blitzø!â you cry out, voice rough with overuse and need. Your thighs tense, the rope digging further into your flesh. Youâre so close to cumming again, and the fact that the ropes are stopping you from taking full control of the pace is driving you mad. âFuck!â
âFucking told you youâd be screaminâ my name,â he growls, head falling back against the desk. âShit, youâre gonna feel so good gushinâ all over my cock, princess.â
You moan aloud, eyes squeezed shut.
âGonna need to hear you beg for it, remember?â he tells you, his voice breaking slightly and you know heâs close too. He pinches your clit, his tail wrapping itself around your middle. âCâmon⌠be a good slut and begâŚâ
Youâre almost sure heâs so far gone that all youâd have to do is wait and heâd cum before he got what he wanted, but you need to cum too; youâre so close that your jaw clenches and your toes are curling. So, you give him what he wants. What you both need.
âPlease, BlitzøâŚâ you whine, eyes meeting his. âPlease, I need to⌠I wanna feel you cum, BlitzøâŚâ
He moans, claws quickening against your clit. The two of you actually cum together, his hips thrusting hard up into you. You can feel tears in your eyes as your orgasm wash through you, your chest heaving.
The two of you stay frozen like that for a while after he slumps back down against the desk, both of you struggling to catch your breath. You close your eyes, shuddering with each exhale.
Your eyes snap open again as you hear the shutter effect of his phoneâs camera.
âThe fuck did you just take a picture of?â
He grins lazily up at you, turning his phone so you can see. The photo shows his hips framed by your thighs; your cunt still stuffed full of his cock. Only the base of his cock is visible, his cum drawing lines down it as it leaks out of you.
You jerk your wrists against the ropes, the movement making you whimper as you accidently squeeze your over-sensitized cunt around him. He snickers, the sound breaking off as his eyes roll back at the sensation.
âDelete it, Blitzø.â
He shakes his head. âAre you kidding? Youâre pure spank bank, tits.â his smile widens. âSpeakinâ ofâŚâ
He snaps another photo, this one aimed high to capture the curve of your breasts. There are makes littering the soft flesh, let behind by his teeth and lips, and the spade of his tail has come up to rest its tip against your nipple.
âGod, youâre an asshole.â
âDonât I know it.â he replies nonchalantly. You feel his tail unwind itself from your stomach and he frees your wrists. The rope slackens immediately around your thighs, your legs prickling with pins and needles as blood returns to them. He rubs his hands over the flesh to help the blood flow. âAnd you fuckinâ love it.â
ââLoveâs a strong word for it,â you reply dryly, massaging one of your wrists with your other hand.
âYeah, but itâs a four-letter word,â he says, tossing his phone over his shoulder towards his clothes and propping himself up on his elbows. You can feel him softening inside you as he hands you the water bottle. âI donât even know how many letters are in âget all hot and drippy over itâ.â
âTwenty-four.â you say almost immediately, taking a sip of water. You offer it to him; you can feel his tail brushing back and forth against your calf. It feels strangely, surprisingly normal to be still straddling his lap, naked and breathless, and you try not to let yourself question it.
âFreak.â
You smile softly to yourself at the fact that heâs managed to try and insult you even as he takes hold of your wrists and uses his thumbs to rub sensation back into them. He doesnât even really seem to be aware that heâs doing it.
âYou know Iâm not helping you clean up this mess, right?â
Blitzø snorts, grinning up at you. âWhat makes you think I wanna clean up? Howâs anyone gonna believe you let me rock your fuckinâ world if they donât see the evidence? And you know I fuckinâ did.â
âDonât get too cocky about it, Blitzø.â you shoot back. âHow dâyou know I wasnât just faking it so I didnât hurt your feelings.â
âHeh. âCocky.â he says, and you roll your eyes. âTell whatâs left of your voice you were fakinâ it.â
âYouâre soââ
Blitzø reaches up to wrap his hand around the back of your neck, pulling you down into another fiery kiss. Your back aches as its finally allowed to bend that way again, but you barely register it with the way his tongue feels sliding against yours.
âSexy? Fuckable?â Blitzø suggests against your mouth. âReady for round two?â
You giggle despite yourself, letting your forehead bump against his. When you pull away, heâs smiling like heâs pleased with himself for making you laugh. âYou might be, but Iâm gonna need a minute.â
âAlright,â he tells you, his tail grazing over your thigh. âBut Iâm countinâ.â

I imagine Red telling Price sheâs pregnant and his immediate reaction is âhave you told Simon yet?â (He uses his real name because of it being a personal matter) and Red is confused as fuck cause he knew
But red breaks down and says yeah heâs freaked about it
And price tried his best to comfort her (I think Price is the male equivalent of the mom friend)
Price watches Red during the meeting. Her gaze is distant, her lower lip tucked between her teeth. Heâs known her for ten years. Heâs seen her at her absolute worst. Heâs seen her holding her insides with her hands. Heâs seen her after being held captive for weeks.
Never once had she resembled the broken thing she is at that very moment.
No - thatâs not entirely true.
Heâs only seen her this terrified once before, and it was during a mission. A civilian kid had been hit - blood spurting from his neck, and Red had lost her cool. Sheâd fallen to her knees, palms flying to the boyâs throat as she attempted to staunch the bleeding.
âFuck-fuck,â she muttered, tears in her eyes, chest hitching. âYouâre alright-youâre fine, honey.â
It had been Simon who pulled her away. âItâs over, duchess,â he murmured. âItâs over - you canât do anything, love.â
It had rocked all of them. Cool, imperious Red Fox had cracked, splintering apart as she clutched the childâs hand. For Price, it felt like being privy to something he shouldnât. Afterward, she'd hid in her room for a week. Simon had been the only one allowed in.
As he observes Red from afar, Price kneads his neck, disturbed by the number of knots he's accumulated from sleeping wrong.
Fuck - he's getting old.
Today, she looks just as scared as she did then, desperately tense and full of distress. When he ends the meeting, he walks over to her. She hasnât left the table though the others have escaped to training. He pulls a chair out and takes a seat. It creaks under his weight, but she doesnât appear to notice.
âWhat is it, Red?â
She blinks down at the table. Thereâs sweat beading her hairline, and he realizes that, up close, her pallor is sickly.
He gently places his knuckles against her brow to feel for fever. She doesnât flinch.
âRed,â he says. âWhat-
âIâm pregnant,â she reveals flatly before dragging a hand through her hair.
âHave you told Simon?â
Her eyes dart to him, her expression surprised.
âYou think I didnât notice?â He chuckles quietly. âHe follows you aroundâŚtouches you whenever he assumes we arenât lookinâ. Iâve seen what he does to the people whoâve hurt you. Iâve seen whatâs left of them.â Price sighs as he squeezes her shoulder. âYou both can be bloody loud, too. The walls are thin.â
Her mouth drops open, but then her nose wrinkles in embarrassment. âI guess we can be.â
Price scratches his stubble thoughtfully before crossing his arms over his chest. âNever thought Simon would make noises like that to be quite honest.â
âI wouldnât say-
âYah know Johnny mimics him? Puts on whole shows at breakfast impersonating what Ghost sounded like the night before.â
âYouâre lying!â
âI might be.â
He isnât.
She shakes her head before offering him a devastating smile. Sheâs beautiful; a fact he always thought would hinder her in this line of work, but sheâs only shot through the ranks.
âSo have you told him?â
Immediately, she shuts down, and Price curses himself for diverting too quickly. Heâd done a fair job of distracting her.
âI did,â she admits after a beat.
âAnd heâs run off to go kill somethin, then?â
âFirst chance he got.â She blows out a breath before dropping her face into her hands. âHe freaked in the Simon Riley way: stone-faced, guard up, escaped to the hills.â The words are muffled by her palms, but he still hears them.
He strokes her back, mindful of the small skull tattooed across her shoulder. âHeâs not upset. Iâd bet anything that heâs just confused. You know his past. He thinks heâs a homing beacon for tragedy.â
âHeâs not,â she growls, stubborn and hot. âI can take care of myself. I chose him. He doesnât need to be in this constant state of anxiety that heâs going to lose me.â
Easier said than done. Sheâs being deliberately obtuse and heâs unsure why. She knows Simon better than anyone. She knows the dark, insidious things that rot his past. Tragedy after tragedy. Itâs so horrible that it could almost be funny. Almost, but never quite.
Price isnât sure how Simon is even still standing.
Red exhales sharply as she stares off into the distance - focusing sightlessly on the direction that Simon has gone. Always. Constant. Sheâs grinding her teeth, but her longing is blatant.
Ah. Yes. Sheâs why Simon remains upright and alive.
Price clears his throat.
âAye, but a baby makes shit complicated, Red. You were the only person Simon had to worry about. He had one thing in the world someone could take from him. Now he has two.â
She frowns. âI donât think itâs like that.â
Price leans closer. âHeâs in love with you.â
She glances at him suspiciously, and he suddenly understands that maybe neither of them comprehends this small fact: theyâre both batshit insane over each other.
âIâve known him a long time,â he reminds her. âHeâs never looked at anyone the way he looks at you.â
The corner of her mouth lifts. âHow can you tell?â
âHis eyes say enough.â
After a moment, she grabs his hand. âDo you think heâll be okayâŚâ She vaguely gestures to her stomach. ââŚwith this?â
Price thinks she may just burst into tears, and that is something he canât have. He wants to punish Simon for leaving her like this - for being unable to stand his ground and reassure her. But he also knows that Riley has been through literal hell. Heâs died in every way, but physically. He canât blame the man for needing space to get his head on straight.
Thereâs a lot on the line - many decisions to be made. He squeezes Redâs hand, rubs a soothing circle with his thumb. He says what he believes: âHe loves you, darling. That will be enough.â

<- previous chapter
NOTE: I really hope you guys like this chapter as I was surprised by myself and the fact that I was able to write 16 pages of material for it. I promise you soon there will be a lot of Ace x Reader moments, as of right now I want to establish a steady tempo of how things will go between them for the future, and also introduce you a little bit of the Readerâs already established relationships with certain characters. I recommend you listening to the song âCompassâ by The Neighbourhood (the real ones hehe) when you get to the moment where they will sing it. Please feel free to leave a feed back as itâs important to me. I re-read it like six times now, and I hope that I have fixed all the spelling and grammatical mistakes, but again English is not my first language so Iâm sorry if some things are unclear, let me know so I can fix it. Also if you havenât seen âFantastic Mr. Foxâ I recommend the movie as bot only you will understand the references better, but because itâs an amazing movie. Enjoy <3333
PS: this is what the gesture from the movie looks like for those of you who havenât seen it, as Iâm afraid that I might not describe it good enough.
Iâve reached the street where âThe Red Piratesâ was located. I was taken aback for a moment when I saw how big of a queue was in front of the entrance. The bar was not very big, but it was quite spacious, and the vibe overall was a mix of underground place with a hint of an old rock and roll bar. One thing Shanks knew how to do best was making the most out of things. His cheerful and charismatic persona knew how to lure people around him, so it was no surprise to anyone when he made this place quite popular in this aera of the Grand Line city. At the end of every month, he invites well-known local bands to perform and usually it gets sold out, but I have never seen such a queue in front of it like the one tonight.
As I got closer, I noticed most of the people in the queue were around my age. The place was more known among people around their middle age, but I guessed from what Nami and Usopp told me I shouldnât be surprised that there were so many young people here tonight. By the entrance were standing Beckman and Lucky Roux â a big smile appeared on my face when I saw them.
âBeckman, Lucky!â I shouted as I ran and hug them.
âHere is the real star of the nightâ Lucky lifted me off the ground as he squeezed me in a tight hug.
âShanks is putting you to work tonight, huh?â Beckman patted me on the shoulder as he laughed at the face I made when he mentioned it.
âPlease donât mention it!â I whined. âOn top of it my friends are going to be here, as apparently one of their friends is a brother of two of the guys in the band, so they all be having fun while I just watch behind the bar.â
âOh, cheer up, beautiful.â Lucky chuckled at me. âAt least we are here â if someone gives you trouble at the bar just let us know.â He cracked his knuckles with a grin on his face.
â(Y/N)â I heard someone shouting out my name behind me. Beckman, Lucky and I turned our heads to see who it was.
âNami, Usoppâ I called them as I gestured them to come. âI thought you are already in.â
âWell, someone here took too much time to get ready.â Usopp nodded his head at Nami, and she rolled her eyes at him. She was dressed stylish as per usual â with a dotted colourful bodysuit imitating bathing suit, a long denim skirt with some sparkling belts on top. Her long ginger hair let down nicely. Usopp was wearing a knitted light grey coloured sleeveless top â showing off his biceps, with some dark greyish baggy jeans. Two silver necklaces â one thicker than the other on his neck, his head was cover in one of his many durags that he owned â his look slaying as well.
âAnyway.â She looked at me. âCan you get us in, as we donât want to wait on the queue, plus Luffy and the rest are waiting for us.â She grabbed my hand, squeezing it in hers.
âYeah, of course.â I turned back to Beckman and Lucky. âPlease, please, please these are my friends I told you about, please, please, let them skip the queue.â I childishly begged them, as Beckman shook his head at me with a smile and Lucky chuckled.
âWe donât need this whole performance to just let them in, you know?â Beckman said as he removed the rope that was stopping people to go in, letting Nami, Usopp. Some people in the queue complained how this wasnât fare, but no one really paid attention to them.
âI know, but I have to be dramatic.â I stuck my tongue at them, we were about to go in when both Beckman and Lucky stopped Usopp and held him on the spot. Nami and I looked at each other confused of why they would stop him.
âYou fella look oddly familiar.â Lucky said, as he eyed Usopp from the head to toes. âAny chance being related to Yassop?â
âY-yes...â Usopp stuttered as he heard his dadâs name being mentioned. Even as absent father he has always found a way to cause his son problems.
âHow so?â Beckman asked, intimidating Usopp even more.
âH-he is my f-father.â Usopp was ready to take whatever punches Beckman and Lucky were going to throw at him, as it wonât be the first time this would happen.
âHa, Iâve heard his son is like a copy of him, but damn Yassop was working overtime when he was making you.â Lucky snorted out loudly as they let go of Usopp and patted him on the back. âSay âhelloâ to your dad from us.â
âS-sure I will.â Usopp muttered as he glanced at them when they let him pass, the look of irritation visible on his face.
âAre you, okay Usopp?â I knew his relationship with his dad was very complicated and he hated to be reminded how much he looked like him. I knew that Beckman and Lucky didnât mean to offend him, but they hit a nerve. I glanced back at them as they were back to stopping and letting people in.
âYeah, Iâm okay. Maybe I will be better if I donât look so much like my dad.â He shook his head trying to forget what just happened. âLetâs go find Luffy, plus I really need a drink right now.â He said as he started to walk ahead of us. Nami and I just looked at each other without saying anything, knowing that he would need a minute to cool down.
âYou havenât forgotten about the free drinks, right?â Nami nudged me.
âEven if I did, I was sure you were going to remind me.â I nudged her back. âAnyway, I need to go and change â see you in a bit. Just find me somewhere by the bar and only order to me so you donât have to pay.â We hugged each other and then I headed to the back of the bar where the staff entrance was. I was struggling to reach it, as there were so many people inside. I couldnât remember to have seen this place so full before and knowing how many more people were waiting outside was stressing me out already. I reached the staff door, and as I was about to open it, when someone literally kicked it in my face and if I didnât react fast, I was probably going to end up with a broken nose. I looked at the person in disbelief.
âYou can say sorry at least, asshole.â I got even more pissed when I saw who it was.
âWatch where you stand spoiled brat.â He replied with the same annoyance.
Perfect, not only it was going to be a long and a busy night, but on top of it I must work with the biggest jerk I have ever met - Eustass Kid. Till this day I couldnât get why Shanks kept him around, when they didnât even get along; yet every time Iâve asked Shanks why, his reply was the same âHe is the best bartender I have.â
I was going down the stairs towards where the âchangingâ room was â if I could even call it that. It was the space downstairs where they store everything â from the drinks to the staff lockers. I started to take off my hoodie as I was still pissed from my encounter with Kid. I didnât even pay attention that there were three guys sitting on the sofas, where the lockers were, until one of them didnât clear his throat. I slowly turned around, the shocked look on my face from the embarrassment clearly visible on my face. They were trying their best not to look at me while I was standing in front of them with my bra on.
âI guess no one told you that we will be down here.â The blond guy that cleared his throat said awkwardly as he was trying to avoid looking at me. The other two â a black short-haired guy who was wearing a simple black tank top and a silver neckless, with tattoos covering his entire body and dark jeans; and the other one on his left side â with the light blue coloured hair, who was wearing glasses with a thick black frames dressed, in a dark blue t-shirt with some dark blue oversized jeans, were both looking away.
âYeah, this little detail was clearly missed.â I covered my front with my hoodie. âD-do you mind turning around so I can quickly put m-my work shirt on?â I was trying not to die from embarrassment, avoiding looking at them.
âOf course, donât worry we wonât be looking.â The blonde quickly said, as they all just turned their heads to the side not looking my way. I quickly changed and excused myself as I ran upstairs embarrassed of what has just happened.
*******
They all looked at each other and laughed.
âPoor girl I actually feel bad for her.â Deuce said.
âYeah, I bet she wasnât expecting to see anyone here.â Law agreed with him. They all laughed again as Ace came back from upstairs, caring with himself some bottles of cold water.
âDid I miss something?â He looked at the guys confused.
âYeah, they got us a stripper, but she ran off after she saw Lawâs ugly face.â Sabo burst out laughing as Law pushed him from the edge of the sofa.
âThe only ugly face here is yours, you morron.â Law and Sabo started to wrestle and mess around, and Ace looked even more confused, as he threw a bottle of water to Deuce to caught.
âAre they for real? They really got us a stripper?â Ace sat next to Deuce as he opened his bottle to drink some water, watching his brother messing with Law. Deuce only shook his head and chuckled.
âOne of the girls working here came, and she didnât notice us as she was clearly pissed about something, she started to change in front of us without realising and when she realised it became quite award for everyone.â Deuce quickly explained to him.
âWas she hot?â Ace playfully raised his eyebrow.
âYour type for sure.â Sabo said as he sat back on the sofa looking at his brother with a smirk. âIf you havenât smashed recently ...â Sabo didnât get to finish his sentence as Law slapped him with behind the neck. âOuch what was this for?â he winced looking at Law.
âHave some manners man.â Law scolded him.
âCome on, it was just a joke.â Sabo tried to defend himself. Ace and Deuce were just observing them not saying anything, as this was Law and Saboâs usual dynamic.
âDonât worry bro, if I want to smash, I donât need a wingmanâ Ace chuckled at Sabo.
âYou sure? You are quite grumpy lately; I can always ask Koala to hock you up with one of her girlfriends.â Sabo continued to tease Ace, as Ace just rolled his eyes at him.
âAgain, I donât need you or your girlfriend as a wingman.â
âLaw what about you? You are even grumpier than Ace.â Sabo turned to Law with a teasing grin, as Law glared at him without saying anything.
âWhatâs with you and playing a wingman tonight?â Deuce asked Sabo, as Sabo was clearly in the mood to annoy his bandmates.
âI just care about your well beingsâ guys. You know if I can help for your happiness I would gladly do it.â He tried to play innocent, but the guys knew him too way, he just wanted to mess with them.
âWhere is Koala, by the way? Is she not coming tonight?â Ace asked his brother, his girlfriend Koala never missed their performances and usually hung up with them before they start playing.
âOhh she is coming a little bit later tonight as one of her girlfriends has a birthday today, and they are out celebrating.â Sabo and Koala have been together for five years now. They had met in high school, and from the start Koala had massive crush on Sabo, which later grew to having stronger feelings for him. Koala tried to keep all these feelings bottled up, until the night when Ace had thrown a âgoodbyeâ party for his brother, who was going away to college. She drank so much alcohol that night to gain courage to confess to him, only to end up in the bathroom floor, hugging the toilet while Sabo was there by her side running gentle circles on her back, as all the alcohol was coming back. While he was in there with her, making sure that she will be alright, she looked at him in the eyes and âI love youâ slipped from her lips before her mind could even procced it. Sabo didnât have much time to react as she threw up again. The next morning Koala just woke up in Saboâs room, not really remembering anything, but from that night on their relationship started as Sabo decided to not go to college in another city but stay in Grand Line so he can be close to Koala. And till this day Sabo havenât regrated the decision he took â not only he was with the girl that he has been in love with since they met, but he also got the chance to do music, something he has always loved, with his brother and friends by his side.
âOh, that is why you are playing a wingman.â Deuce chuckled at Sabo. âIâm also single, why donât you play my wingman?â Deuce clenched his fist up to his heart pretending to be hurt by Saboâs decision to ask only Ace and Law. Ace snorted at Deuce and his little âactâ.
âSorry man, but you donât match the birthday girlâs type.â Sabo put his arms in the air as he was helpless to help his friend.
âWhatâs her type then?â Ace mocked his brother and his pathetic attempts to play Cupidon.
âGuys, donât mock the messenger.â Sabo tried to defend himself. âKoala told me loud and clearly â ask Ace, if Ace plays hard, ask Law.â He mimicked his girlfriend voice and gestures. âI guess her friend type is grumpy dark-haired dudes.â He mocked his brother and Law.
âWell Ace, you were the first choice not me - so good luck with the âbirthdayâ girl.â Law winked at Ace, his eyes full of mockery.
âShut up man, last thing I want to do is going on a double date with Sabo.â Hearing this Sabo threw his empty bottle as Aceâs head, but he dodged before it hit him.
âAgain, Iâm up for it â if you show me at least how she looks like.â Deuce made Sabo pull out his phone to show him the girl.
âDeuce you canât be that desperate.â Turning his head in disbelieve Law exclaimed at him.
âIâm not, but also itâs been a while, so I donât mind being the third option of the night.â Sabo handed his phone to Deuce as he had opened the girlâs Instagram. Both Ace and Law looked over Deuceâs shoulders, taking look at the girl.
âNot bad, but Iâve had seen better.â Ace commented, not really impressed by the looks of the girl.
âNah man she is cute.â Deuce protested and Law agreed with him.
âBut same as Ace I donât want to be stuck on a double date with you.â Law nagged at Sabo. Ace shook his head, as these two started to mess with each other again. He sat back on the sofa and pulled his phone out from the back pocket of his pants. Scrolling through social media, he checked the bandâs Instagram profile, something he hasnât done in a while, as he wasnât a big social media user, noticing that they got some new followers, but one piqued his interest.
â@idkthisfoxy â He murmured to himself. The profile was private and there was no bio, but he clicked on the profile picture making it bigger. On the picture was this girl with a sock covering her face and only her eyes were visible, the same way the animated fox Ash from Fantastic Mr. Fox was portraited at the end of the movie. He snorted out with a smirk. âCould you be...?â He thought to himself.
âWhatâs with this smug smirk on your face?â Sabo interrupted his thoughts, looking at his brother with a raised eyebrow.
âNothingâ Ace brushed him off, getting up from the sofa, and putting his phone back in his back pocket. âOkay guys, I think itâs time to go upstairs and get ready to play.â He clapped his hands, making the guys stand up, agreeing with him.
âLetâs go break some hearts gentlemen.â Sabo loudly exclaimed, clapping his hands in the air, as the guys were going upstairs.
*******
I left the âchangingâ room that was used for everything â from changing your clothes to storage all the alcohol and beverages Shanks has to offer, with a quick run up the stairs. Last thing I expected was someone to be there, let alone three men standing on the sofa there, which was something new Shanks have had add as last time I worked here, there was no sofa downstair. And speaking of the devil he was right in front of me.
âShanks!â I shouted out, catching his attention as he was busy flirting with some woman. He turned at me with a big smile.
âThere is my beloved niece.â He pulled me in a suffocating hug. I tried to fight him, but he only tightened his embrace. âWhy is my Foxy mad? Did someone step on your tail?â He started to poke me on my sides only fuelling my annoyance with him.
âIâm telling you â run while you can. This man is insufferable.â I told the woman who he was hitting on, as she was looking at us while we were messing with each other.
âOh Foxy, I canât wait for the day you gonna bring a man over, the number of comebacks I have collected for you is unlimited at this point.â He ruffled my hair, as he turned to his fling for the night, telling her to give him a second, as he nodded at me to follow him.
âAre they unlimited, or you just canât count after ten?â I tease him with mockery in my voice as he only shot me a glance.
âSomeone doesnât want to get paid double tonight, I see.â He nagged me with a smug smile.
âDare.â I challenged him, and he laugh at me.
âOkay now seriously.â He stopped in front of the computer making me clock in. âYou and Kid will be working together at the bar. No need to check IDâs as tonight everyone must be 20+ to enter, so if they are inside that means they are legal to drink. If it gets to much I might jump in and help, but I have three runners tonight so it should be all good. And most importantly if someone is bothering you let me know immediately, okay?â I mentally prepared for the long shift, off all the people I could of work with tonight, I would have to work with Kid. Shanks patted me on the shoulder and went back to his fling of the night. I huffed and turned around to look at the bar. The queue was already quite big, and Kid needed help at this point.
I got behind the bar, and Kid glared at me with annoyance. He was wearing one of the work t-shirts with the âRed Piratesâ logo on it, his muscular body defined by it. His whole left hand was covered in a tattoo sleave â a realistic robotic hand, something coming out straight from the Cyberpunk universe. The tattoo itself was amazing, the person having the tattoo â was not so much.
âMove Kid, I will work on the bar station closer to the stage.â He rolled his eyes at me but still moved so I can go to the right side of the bar. âYou can come and order here as well.â I shouted and people started to come my way. Nami soon came to me with a big grin.
âHey there, I heard there is this cute bartender working here, so I made sure to come and check if the rumours are true.â She teased me.
âStop it, I might get all flushed.â I waved mt hands in front of my face as we both laughed. âWhat do you want to drink?â
âA strong vodka and orange juice â less juice more vodka.â I started to make her drink, as I filled the glass with a lot of ice, as I knew that she loved her drinks very cold.
âWhere are the rest of the group?â I asked her as I didnât expect to see her alone.
âThey are standing by one of the round bar tables close to the stage.â
âLess vodka â more juice, as requested.â I joked with her, handing her the drink.
âHa-ha.â She mocked me as she took a sip of her drink. âOh yeah that is strong.â Her eyes widen as she tased the drink. âDamn you really made sure there is no alcohol in it.â She sarcastically said, taking another sip. âBy the way my friend Luffy knows your uncle Shanks.â Nami took a sit on the last tall chair left at the bar.
âWhat are you for real? How?â I was taking other customers orders as we were talking.
âI donât know, you have to ask him.â She shrugged, taking another sip. âOh God, please put some more juice in this thing, it is too much even for me.â I burst out laughing as she handed me back her glass to pour more juice in it.
âNami, who is this beautiful lady, and why I havenât been introduced to her?â A tall blonde guy wrapped his arms arounds Namiâs shoulders. She rolled her eyes and huffed.
â(Y/N) â Sanji, Sanji â (Y/N). Donât mind his flirting â everything that has two legs and boobs is beautiful in his eyes.â She pushed his hands off from her.
âNami that hurt, I only flirt with beautiful women, no matter the size of their breast.â He advocated for himself. âNice to meet you (Y/N), I have been hearing a lot about you from Nami and Usopp.â He flashed me with a seductive smile. âOnly good things of course.â
âNice to hear this.â I smiled at him. âWould you like something to drink?â
âI would love to but sadly, Iâm the one driving everyone home tonight, so I will have to deny your offer.â He chuckled sadly. I took a quick look at him and his outfit suited his smooth persona; he was wearing off-white shirt, two buttons unbuttoned around his chest, with a dark grey chinos style pants and belt. His wavy blonde hair was let down nicely as half of it was covering his right side of the face. I was told by Nami, that Sanji was handsome and super stylish, and now I understand what she meant by it.
âIâm sorry to hear that, Sanji.â I did feel bad for him, knowing how Nami and Usopp behaved when they are drunk, I couldnât imagine what dealing with their whole friend group would feel like.
âIâm sorry that you must be behind the bar.â He was smooth, but this was not working on me.
âHey, enough with the chitchats, those asses playing tonight are starting soon, so focus!â Kid came next to me and hissed in my ear angrily as I was talking to Nami and Sanji.
âYou are right, sorry.â I apologised to him, knowing that I really got distracted by Nami and Sanji. âSorry guys but I have to focus on work now, but if I manage, I will sneak to your table.â They both understood and wish me good luck, as they went back to their table.
âOf course, on the busiest night I have to put up with you.â Kid continued to whine. I just rolled my eyes at his whining. His bright spiky red hair matching his personality perfectly. âHand me two more bottles of rom.â He spat at me.
âKid are you ever in a good mood?â I asked him, handing the bottles.
âYeah, when I get my dick sucked.â He smirked at me.
âOh, you are disgusting.â I was left in shock from his answer.
âYou asked, you got you answer.â He had pleasant look on his face knowing well that his comment irritated me. âDonât worry, brat. You will never get this lucky.â His cocky smirk not leaving his face.
Before I moved to Grand Line, the last two summer since I was working for Shanks, while staying with him in his apartment, as my dad usually toured during the summertime. The first summer I worked here, Kid had already been working for a while. He hasnât changed much since then. That first summer for a little bit â I did in fact, had a little crush on him. It was something in his edgy persona and style that made my nineteen old self attracted to him. But with time this attitude became more unattractive than attractive, and my little crush turned into pure disgust.
Of course, he had his good moments as well. One night two months ago, just before I stared university, it was just him and I working on a Tuesday night. It was a very slow night, so Shanks left early and left us to close the place. As we were going for last orders, Kid was behind the bar cleaning it, while I was picking glasses from empty tables, as we still had some customers left. On one of the tables where three guys, around the age of forty-something, were sitting I tried to reach for the empty glasses, smiling politely at them. I felt a hand on the back of my thigh going up to my butt and squeezing it hard. I jumped back in shock and dropped all the glasses I had in my hand. The broken glasses shattered on the floor. The men burst out laughing at my frozen expression, but their laugher was quickly cut, as the guy who touched me got his head smashed on the table hard. The bang of the impacted of his head hitting the table echoed through the whole place. Kid had seen everything that had happened, and he was seeing red. He dared the guy and his friends to think about doing it again. They all locked at him with fear in their eyes. The manâs face, who harassed me, was all covered in blood, one of his teeth has fallen and probably his nose was broken. I was just standing there still frozen from shock. Kid kicked them out, the rest of the customers, as well. He came close to me, trying to shake me out of the shock. I still remember the way he gently placed his hand on my face, cupping my cheek, his fingers feeling rough on my skin. He tried to keep his tone calm as he called my name. It took me some seconds to come back to reality. Kid was standing very close to me, in a way that we have never been this close physically. He looked into my eyes, and I could see how mad he was but at the same time there was this hint of worry in them. We stayed like this for a moment until he took a step back and removed his hand from my face. He cleared his throat and told me that he has already called Shanks, and he will be here soon. I just nodded at him as I was still speechless. He told me to go and change my clothes.
When I came back Shanks was already here, and he was like a fuming bull, swearing that he would find these men and make them pay. When Shanks saw me, he came to me and hug me tight, I started to cry in his embrace, as he gently patted my head. He then proceeded to tell Kid to walk me to Shanksâ place, as he was not letting me stay alone tonight, and that he would be dealing with the police and the bar on his own. I was about to say that this was not needed but none of them let me have the word. Kid and I were walking toward Shanksâ apartment, but didnât speak at all. I broke the silence, thanking him for what he did, and that he shouldnât have done it as might of now he could be in trouble. He shushed me quick, saying that he didnât want to hear any thanks or apologies from me, and that he did whatever everyone else in his place would do. We reached Shanksâ place shortly after. I pulled my keys out to open the door, but Kid stopped me as he came close to me again, as when we were in the bar. I gave him a questioning look. He was looking at me like he wanted to say something, his scared eye twitching a little. We stayed like this for a moment then he shook his head, more to himself than me, and told me to take care of myself, as he quickly left. The next time we worked together he was back to his arrogant self, so I guess it was something from the adrenaline rush that he got that night that made him act, so strange. But we never really spoke about what happened; neither had Shanks told me what happened after with the police and ect., both of them act like this never happened and every time Iâve tried to speak about it with Shanks, he cut me off almost immediately.
âWhat you got all dreamy about sucking me off?â Kid smirked with me as I got zoomed out.
âYeah, you wish.â I snorted. He glanced at me but didnât say anything.

The place was full. I looked at my phone and it was a little after 10PM so the band should come out and start playing any moment now. The image of the three guys seeing me earlier in my bra came up in my mind and a chill of embarrassment ran down on my spine. Someone got on podium, but it wasnât who the crowd was waiting for.
âHello there beautiful people.â Shanks announced on the microphone. âWhen my precious, like a son, friend came to me two weeks ago and told me, that I should give this month gig to his brothersâ band I was very critical at first. Then he played me some of their songs and I was impressed. I was even more impressed that the thickets sold out in one day. One day â can you imagine.â The crowd cheered loudly â some screamed the bandâs name, some whistled, and others applauded. âSo a big shout out to my friend Luffy.â A loud screaming and cheering that I could recognise from miles away echoed around, but from where I stand, I couldnât see my friends. âIâm not going to keep you guys waiting anymore â big and loud applause for âThe Neighbourhoodâ.â
I stopped what I was doing to watch them coming up the stage. The first one to step on stage was the guy with the light blue hair and the thick black framed glasses, he went and took his position next to the bass guitar and picked it up. I hear some girls yelling his name âDeuceâ loudly. Next was the blacked haired, covered in tattoos guy, he took the guitar that was on the right side of the stage. A girl standing next to the bar screamed to her friend something along the lines âget me pregnant Lawâ and I looked at her shocked. Then the blond guy came up on stage and started to raise his hands up in the air making everyone going louder and louder. Before he sat behind the drums, he sent a kiss to someone in the crowd and a big grin appeared on his face. My heart was beating fast in my chest as I was expecting the last guy to come up on the podium. There was this small voice in my head telling me that it will be him â the guy from the coffee shop today. But then this wasnât some Disney movie, so probably them having the same name was just a pure coincidence. The three guys started to play some chords, and their vocalist join. I recognised him immediately. There he was â no beanie on, his raven black hair messy and freely falling around his face. I didnât notice back in the coffee shop, but he was quite tall. It was something in his aura that made him stand out from the others. Now dressed in a loose fit black pants and leather belt, with his silk black shirt tucked in them, sleeves up till his elbows, buttons unbutton revealing his muscular chest â he was breathtaking to look at. The red beam neckless around his neck adding a nice touch to his outfit. The other three guys stared humming the back vocals.
Ooh, I know once you come to California
You won't ever look back
Ooh, just a little bit can make you wonder
You got it in
Ace took his guitar on with a smug look on his face. I was watching him carefully from the bar, far away yet not that far, as I couldnât take my eyes off him. Then he stared to sing.
Hands up, it's a stick up
Nobody's leaving this room for a minute
He sounded even better live, than in their records. I was mesmerised by his voice. It was so melodic, yet a little rough only adding to his appearance. I was just enjoying their performance as they were super good â all four of them.
âI swear to God you are gonna make a puddle her.â I heard yelling in my ear as I turned around and saw Kid standing behind me. âStop staring â start working, damn it.â I quickly came back from the trance that Ace put me in and got back to work. They were on their fourth song when I saw Usopp on the queue for the drinks.
âUsopp!â I shout out his name, hoping that he would hear me, over all the noise. He did look in my direction without realising at first. He looked again and saw me clearly this time and he made his way to the side where I was working.
âThey are good, right?â Was the first thing he asked me when we got close enough so I could hear him. I eagerly nodded my head.
âAre you kidding me. They are amazing.â They were already on their fourth song and so far, everything was great from what theyâve played.
âYou shall meet them; they are all great guys. If you have time when they are done performing come by our table and we can introduce you to them.â
âYeah about that... I kinda already met them...â Three out of four already has seen me embarrassing myself, and I thank to whatever power was out there â God, universe â whatever, that Ace wasnât in the âbasementâ when I waked on the guys half-naked.
âWhat do you mean?â Usopp got confused look on his face by what Iâve just told him.
âStory for another time.â I brushed it off quickly. âWhat do you want to drink?â
âRum and coke, please. Make it four.â I started to make the drinks as I was taking quick glances at the stage. They knew how to entertain the crowd. Their stage confidence was noticeable. âWill you be able to carry all four at once?â I asked Usopp handing him the drinks. He confidently nodded.
âThe moment you are out of the bar, come to us.â He shouted behind his back as he was leaving with the drinks, too focused not to drop them or someone to push him.
******
The band just finished with the fourth song and the blonde guy took over the microphone:
âA very big thank you to everyone coming here tonight.â He was a little out of breath, as I can only imagine what was it like playing the drums for half an hour without stopping for even a second. My eyes moved to Ace who was taking a sip of his water. He turned his head at my direction and our eyes met. Ace raised his eyebrows in disbelief and squeezed his eyes to make sure that he saw right â that he really saw the girl from the coffee shop. I panicked and squatted down to the ground hiding behind the bar. âBig shout out to Shanks for letting us play here tonight â please a round of applauses him.â He raised his hands to applaud Shanks, and the crowd followed. âBig shout out to all off you who came to support us here tonight, I see some faces in the crowd who were there for us from day one till today.â Another round of applauses followed. âAnd- and the biggest applause and thank you goes to my amazing girl â Koala.â He paused taking a breath in and out. âKoala, baby I love you. This new song that I wrote is for you, and you only. Sadly, I wasnât blessed with the voice that my brother has, but I will be in the back pouring my heart out on the drums, enjoy everyone.â Everyone started to cheer and applause.
I got back on my feet again as I heart the last thing the blonde guy said. Ace just patted him on the shoulder and laughed as he took over the microphone again. He looked around as he was still laughing.
âIâve had always imagined that the first time I would have to sing a song dedicated to a girl, will be for a girl Iâm in love with, you know?â He joked with the audience. âTwenty-five years later I still havenât met the one, but my brother did. Iâm telling you the first time I sang his songs to his girl â it was awkward.â Everyone laughed, so did I but something more interesting caught my attention from what he said. âI told to myself you know, with time it will get easier, less awkward.â He made a dramatic pause. âI swear to God this never get easier. Bro just learn how to sing.â He turned to his brother in dramatic disbelief, as Sabo only shout at him to start singing. âAnd you see what I get as a âthank youâ.â The crowd laughed again. âAnyway â the song is called âCompassâ, hope you guys like it as much as our other songs. Itâs coming out next week so stay tuned.â He announced before they start playing, looking again at the bar but I quickly turned my head around.
âGo pick around some glasses. You are not helping behind the bar anyway.â Kid told me, pissed at my behaviour tonight.
âNow?â I asked surprised. He just glared at me with a killer look, I huffed and got out of the bar.
They started to play, and Ace voiced filled all my sentence. I stopped to listen to the song as I was closer to the podium now.
âIf I don't have you with me, I'm alone
You know I never know which way to go
I think I need you with me for all-time
When I need new direction for my mindâ
The song sounded so sweet. I didnât realise that Ace was looking at my direction as I was focused on listening to the lyric. Then the way he sang the last line of the first verse:
âI know that you're not something to lose, nowâ
swept me off on my feet, as I closed my eyes loving the way how smooth his voice was. Then the chorus stared, and they were so catchy.
âI've got something to confess
I keep you in my pocket to use
You're my only compass
I might get lost without youâ
As he sang the second verse, hearing minutes ago his brother proudly announcing how much he loves his girlfriend, the lyrics were having such a deep love held behind them.
âCould you tell me where to go?
You're always there to help me when I'm down
I'm lucky you've been keeping me around
You're the star I look for every night
When it's dark, you'll stick right by my sideâ
It was hard to explain, but it was like something magical was happening around me and inside of me right now. I felt like Iâm lost in the moment. Ace started to sing the bridge of the song, and I opened my eyes. The most cliche thing in every possible way - for every movie, book, play or song happened - our gazes met. The time felt like it stopped for a second.
âLike a magnet
Hard to imagine ever changing
Anything changing my way
Baby, like a magnet
Can't help that I'm attracted to you, I am
Could you keep on guiding me? Pleaseâ
He smiled at me as he didnât move his gaze from mine. When he sang: âCan't help that I'm attracted to you, I amâ - he hold his hands up to his head and shock them, a big smile sprad across his face, as I did the same thing back at him. I was in disbelief that he recognised me, yet alone did the whole âFantastic Mr. Foxâ thingy. The last part of the bridge felt very personal: âCould you keep on guiding me? Pleaseâ I couldnât hide away the grin on my face, as I just gestured with my hands a âmaybeâ, as he was looking at me with a playful questioning expression. Ace chuckled and winked at me. When he moved his gaze away from me, I quickly moved around trying to disappear in the crowd as my face as flaming hot.
When the song finished the guys were met with loud and well-deserved applauses.
âYou really are kind of a quote-unquote Fantastic Fox.â Ace chuckled on the microphone. I knew this was meant for me, even though he couldnât see me, he made sure I can hear him. Trying to distract myself right now was quite a challenge. All I could think about was this moment of interaction, we had in front of so many people, yet no one knew what was going on.
******* Three more songs and they were done with their performance for tonight.
âThank you, thank you all for coming here tonight.â Ace thanked the crowd, loud applauses echoed through the whole bar. âSix months ago, when the guys and I decided to finally start putting out the music, that we have been doing for the past two years now, we never expected that people will find such an interest in us. For everyone streaming our music and coming to all the live gigs we have done so far â thank you from the bottom of my heart.â He bowed with his head before he took off his guitar and left the podium. The rest of the guys bowed and thanked everyone leaving a bit after him.
Ace was already surrounded by group of girls as he stepped down from the podium. As every man on this Earth of course he loved the attention he was getting, especially from young and attractive women, but there was this particular girl in his mind tonight that he wanted to get the chance to speak again with. He was thinking of their short interaction today even after she left the coffee shop. It was something about her that piqued his interest, and this hasnât had happen in a quite long time. Ace didnât really remember the last time he seriously got interested in a girl for more than a one-night stand or a short situationship. And he was curious if this time would be the same, if she would be one of the many that would come and leave - leaving nothing behind themselves. This was something he would catch himself being jealous of his brother Sabo sometimes. The universe literally served him his girl on a golden plate. He didnât have to search and get disappointed all the time, he was simply in the right place at the right time, and so did she. Part of him was really wondering when itâs going to be his turn; his turn to be loved, to be adored and cared by someone â and the one who would wake these feelings up in him for her, as well.
His experience with girls was quite big, even though it wasnât always like this. Girls started to pay attention to him around the age of seventeen, when he decided that he must start going to the gym and change not only his appearance, but behaviour as well. The person who he was now, and who he was almost eight years ago, were totally different people. Ace used to be the grumpiest, meanest and enrage kid you could have known; even now-a-days he would catch himself acting like this little kid again and he hated this. Ace has always been afraid that no one would ever love the real him â every time he tried to show his true self after a while they either run away or he realised it was not worthed to keep trying. Lost in his thoughts for a moment he didnât realise he had zoomed out until some waved their hand in his face.
âSorry I got distracted for a second, what were you saying?â He smiled at one of the girls in front of him.
âI said would you mind giving me your autograph?â She teases him with a playful look in her eyes.
âSure, you have a pen or something.â He gave her the same look, knowing that she was flirting with him.
âThere you go.â She borrowed a pen from one of the girls standing next to her. âMy name is Samantha, in case you were wondering.â She turned her back towards Ace, moving her hair on the side so he could sign the top of her shoulder.
âWhat should I write?â Ace took a look at her, from head to toe â ânice body, nice assâ he thought to himself, stepping a little closer to her.
âHow about your number?â She smirked at him, as he chuckled at her flirty tone. He checked her out one more time as he licked his lips with a sly smirk.
âThere you go, angle.â He wrote his number on her shoulder. He gave the pen back to her with a wink as he continued his way towards the back exit.
Ace wanted to be at peace for just a second. A few more girls stopped him on his way to the back exit, but they were less flirtatious than the girl he gave his number to. Finally, he made his way outside and the moment the chilly wind hit his face he breathed out. He pulled out a package of cigarettes, taking one out and lighting it, taking a long puff from it. Closing his eyes as he leaned on the wall, exhaling the smoke. Having attention was nice, especially from women, but that wasnât so important for Ace. The goal wasnât women â the goal was to make great music that people can love and enjoy. After every show Ace catches himself in the âimposterâ syndrome â that he was not good enough, that the performance sucked, that he was bringing the band down, that he was not a good singer or a guitar player. All these thoughts were hitting him like a truck every time he got off stage, and no matter what people were telling him, he couldnât shake this feeling. The feeling of never being good enough. He was lighting up a second cigarette, and he noticed it was the last one.
âFuck, fuck , FUCK.â He cursed himself, taking a puff after puff from his cigarette. As he was taking his last smoke from the cigarette, throwing it on the ground, he thought of you. Ace wasnât the type to believe in fate or anything from this sort of bullshits, but he chuckled to himself. What were the chances that in one day you two happened to be in the same place at the same time â two completely strangers. And you were pretty â no, you were gorgeous. There was something in you that was waking up a little spark of fire in him, and you havenât even had a proper conversation, yet. When he saw you from the stage it was like the time had stopped and he couldnât move his eyes from you. You were just standing there, enjoying the moment, living in the song â and then you opened your eyes, oh those beautiful eyes which he didnât have the chance yet to know the colour of, but he was looking forward to finding out soon. He took a few more minutes outside gathering his thoughts, before he put his poker face back, walking inside confidently like nothing was going on inside of his mind.
******
I wasnât looking forward to going behind the bar right now, even when I knew I had to, but instead found Nami and the rest of the group.
âThere she is!â Usopp saw me first and yelled, waving his hand gesturing me to come faster.
Nami had her head rested on Sanjiâs shoulder as she was completely wasted, but Sanji was more than happy to take care of her. On his other side was standing a black-haired guy, a little shorter than Sanji, maybe the same height as Usopp. He was wearing a red oversized t-shirt and baggy light blue jeans. His face was scared under his left eye but still he looked quite boyish with his big grin on his face â I guess this was the infamous Luffy. Next to him was standing Zoro, he nodded at me as he saw me. Zoro was waring bandana on his head, his fit not very different from Luffyâs, the only difference was that his t-shirt was white. Nami tilted her head in my direction and quickly jumped from Sanjiâs side, but he quickly grabbed her the shoulders, as she almost tripped and fell.
âDamn Nami, how much you drank, tonight?â I have seen her wasted but never this much.
âWay too much.â Sanji answered me instead of her as she was leaning on him again.
âLuffy, this is (Y/N) â the classmate we have been telling you about.â Usopp interrupted, introducing us as we exchange a handshake.
âNice to meet you finally (Y/N). I have been hearing a lot about you.â Even thought we were the same age there was something so boyish in Luffyâs voice.
âSo did I.â I smiled at him. âBy the way, your brothersâ band is great.â
âOh, I know! Iâm so happy that Shanks let them play here tonight.â His smile grew wilder.
âHow did you meet my uncle by the way? Nami told me that you two know each other.â I was really curious to know how these two knew each other, especially after Shanks refer to him as a âsonâ.
âLong story short â I was quite a troubled kid until I met Shanks. Then I became even more troubled and reckless.â We all laughed at his joke. âBut yeah we met ââhe got interrupted by someone shouting his name. We all turned around and the blonde guy from the band was joining to the table, with a girl under his arm, which I guess is his beloved girlfriend. She was wearing a very nice light purple ruffled dress; her shoulder length light brown hair was nicely styled in a blowout effect. Her face was lightened by her big smile and her big dark blue eyes were glowing with love as she was looking at her boyfriend.
âSabo, Koala â come. This is (Y/N), Namiâs and I best classmate and friend from uni.â Usopp introduced me to them as I awkwardly nodded the moment Saboâs eyes widen in shock.
âNo way, look baby this is the stripper I was telling you about.â He told Koala, as she slapped him on the chest as she turned to me. I was shocked from the comment he just made, so did everyone.
âStripper? You are a stripper?â Luffy looked at me confused, Zoro slapped him behind the neck, shushing him.
âDonât listen to him, his humour, is little broken. Nice to meet you, (Y/N).â She smiled at me.
âNo donât listen to me guys. Sorry didnât mean to offend you, Iâm Sabo, nice to meet you officially.â He reached out his hand across the table, and we handshake. The other two guys â the light blue haired and the tattooed one joined as well. As they saw me, they had the same reaction as Sabo, but didnât make any comments instead they just introduced themself.
âWhere is Ace?â Luffy asked Sabo.
âAh, probably out smoking, I donât know.â Sabo shrugged. âYou know how he is after we finish every set.â Luffy nodded at what Sabo said and continue to talk to Law. Deuce was talking to some girl, who was wearing a âbirthday girlâ crown, Nami was barely standing, while Sanji was making sure that she was getting enough water.
âI am going back to work; it was nice to see you all.â I tapped Usopp on the shoulder, interrupting his conversation with Zoro.
âNo wait a minute, so you can also meet Ace.â Usopp stopped me from going as he hold my wrist. My heart skipped a beat when he mentioned his name.
âSome other time Usopp I promise, I really need to go back, otherwise Kid will kill me at this point tonight.â I pouted at him, and he nodded, understanding my situation and let me go. The universe had other plans whatsoever â turning around I bumped into someoneâs muscular chest. He gently held me for a second by the shoulders.
âEasy there, no rush.â I looked up and my eyes met his. Ace was looking at me with a little smirk placed on his face. âHey (Y/N).â He took a step back giving us some space. He remembered my name.
âHey.â I smiled at him, tying to hide the fact I was a little nervous.
âYou two know each other?â Usopp pointed a finger at us.
âNo.â We both said at the same time. âWe just met this morning by chance.â I explained to Usopp. âOh, nice. What a coincidence.â He chuckled as he turned back to Zoro. Little did he know how right he was.
âSo, you work here?â Ace broke the silence between us.
âYes and no.â I laughed awkwardly. âShanks is my uncle, so sometimes when he really needs help like tonight I just jump in behind the bar.â I explained, looking down at my hands as I was playing with my fingers, a habit I have when Iâm nervous.
âHey.â Ace bent his posture a little trying to catch my gaze, I looked back at him immediately. âI donât bite â relax.â There was a little hint of teasing in his voice.
âIâm relaxed.â I brushed it off, trying to play it cool. âItâs just strange â from lending me your charger to hearing you perform tonight here was quite a surprise.â
âYeah, I agree. You- you, um, did you enjoy it?â He ran his hand through his hair, awkwardly scratching his neck.
âI loved it.â I eagerly told him, a little too eagerly for which I cringed at myself. âI didnât know about you guys until today. Actually, Nami and Usopp invited me to see you performing here, but again funny coincidence.â I started to babble. âThen they played me this song of yours âCry Babyâ and yeah â I can say Iâm defiantly a fan now. Especially after I heard you tonight. But I had no idea it was you, until I saw you coming on the podium, so I was quite surprised.â As I continued to babble, he had crossed his arms in front of his chest making, looking at me with half lidded eyes, a little smile playing on his lips. âI think I talk too much.â I awkwardly chuckled. A wild smile spread across Aceâs face, he shook his head, as he laughed.
âWhat?â I playfully tilted my head at him, wondering what made him react like this.
âI think you need to listen to âCry Babyâ one more time.â He teased me, without giving me any more information.
âOkay, I will.â I teased him back. We stood there for a moment, just looking at each other.
âWait how do you know Nami and Usopp?â He was the one to break the silence again.
âWe are classmates.â He raised his eyebrows in awe.
âOh, a filmmaker. What are you the most lead to â directing, scriptwriting or...?â He asked me clearly interested in my answer. I was about to answer him when someone grabbed me by the shoulders and squeezed me hard.
âOuch.â I turned around and I saw Shanksâ smug smile. He reached his fist at Ace, and they bumped it.
âAce could I politely ask you to not distract my beautiful niece as she is supposed to work not flirt.â Ace nodded at Shanksâ comment, with a little smirk.
âWe are not, I â Iâm not flirting.â My whole face got flushed. I took a quick look at Ace, but his face was unreadable.
âFlirting or not â go behind the bar or I will make you stay and clean as well.â I knew he was serious, despite the smile on his face. I just nodded at him and left without even looking at Ace as I was quite embarrassed.
******
After some time, people started to leave, and the work started to decrease. I saw Ace and the rest of the guys starting to put their instruments away, getting ready to leave. We locked eyes a few times, but nothing more.
âStop staring and forget even thinking about Ace.â Shanks interrupted my thoughts, his tone serious.
âExcuse me?â I looked at him confused, why would he even tell me this.
âYou heard me.â He leaned his forearms on the bar, having a very serious face, something that I rarely ever see. âYou only gonna end up hurt Foxy, so be thankful that I cock-blocked you.â He tapped the bar and went away, not letting me say anything further. I continued to clean the bar, Shanks words still in my mind, wondering what exactly he meant by that and a little surprised of how he worded it. âHey, we are leaving.â I looked up and saw Usopp and the rest of the group behind him. âThank you for the drinks by the way.â I waved my hand, brushing it off as there was nothing to thank me for.
âIt was nice to finally meet you (Y/N).â Sanji told me with a wink, him carrying sleeping Nami in his arms.
âYeah (Y/N), we have to properly go out these days.â Luffy cheerfully exclaimed, as he came closer to the bar to high-five me.
âWe sure need to Luffy.â I smiled at him, Zoro just waved me âgoodbyeâ, he wasnât usually the most talkative but tonight he was extra quiet. They all stopped to say goodbye to Shanks as well, who was standing by the exit. I was still little affected by Shanksâ words and didnât want to look at him right now.
âYou know I discovered that coffee shop recently.â I turned around to face Ace, as I heard his voice.
âIt is a hidden gem, right?â I gushed. He smiled at me and nodded.
âSo I guess I will be seeing you there?â he raised an eyebrow at me, a little hint of tease in it.
âDefinitely Ace.â I smiled at him. He kept his eyes on mine for a moment.
â(your eyes colour).â He murmured, I tilted my head at him wondering what he just murmured to himself. He saw my reaction and just flashed me a smile. âTill next time then.â He winked at me and then he left.

Masterlist
Š 2021-2023, Heart and Fangs. All rights reserved. Do not translate or post anywhere.
After an incredibly rough week of work, youâd completely forgotten to switch off your alarm last night so you could sleep in for your birthday. It was your long-awaited day.Â
âThe fuck,â You groaned before tapping the screen of your phone to silence the obnoxious sound.Â
Clambering and scurrying footsteps could be heard outside your bedroom and in the shared kitchen. A nagging feeling in your stomach told you that you wouldnât be allowed back to sleep any time soon.Â
After about a minute, you noticed the sound of your roommates gathering outside your doorâ then knuckles tentatively rapping against it.
You pulled your duvet over your head and curled up tighter onto your side, refusing to answer.Â
Another knock.
It was more insistent this time, annoyingly so.Â
âWhat?â Your grumpy tone made it known that they were unwelcome visitors this early in the morning.Â
Please go awayâŚ
Jay, seemingly unbothered by your attitude, cracked open the door, surveying your condition before swinging it wide open to reveal a birthday cake in his hand.Â
Heeseung didnât look any better than you in his black sweatsuit set and cowlicked ash-gray hair hiding his half-lidded eyes. Jay more than likely dragged him out of bed to help him prepare your surprise, yet he still gave you a smirk behind Jayâs shoulder and flashed you a peace sign.Â
With a mischievous smile, Jay strode to the edge of your bed wearing a typical pair of gray sweatpants and a black tank, his lean arms on display. âMorning, birthday girl.âÂ
Heeseung made his way in and released a handful of red and pink balloons that floated to the ceiling; youâd think it was Valentine's Day or something. âHappy birthday, ___.â
Slowly, you dragged yourself up to sitting, keeping your blanket wrapped tightly around your shoulders. You rubbed your eyes, âI canât believe I sabotaged myself with my alarm today.â
âHappens to the best of us,â Jay balanced the cake in one hand as he kneeled on the floor by your bed and ran a hand through his pale blonde hair, âAnd well, now you just have more of your day to enjoy. But first, cake.â
Of course, they knew better than to sing. You sighed and stared down at the simple, pink-frosted cake piped with red dollops in a heart-shaped border.Â
In the center was written in red frosting:
u canât pick ur dad
but u can pick ur daddy(s)
hbd!!!
You snorted and pressed a hand to your lips, raising an eyebrow at the two. Grammatically, it didnât even make any sense, but you guessed it wasnât supposed to.Â
âWhat the hell is this? Which of youââ You barely managed to get out, shoulders shaking from laughter as you eyed Heeseung and gave Jay a look of scrutiny, âOr should I even bother to ask?â
In return, Jay playfully swiped the pads of his fingers across the corner of your lips, effectively smearing a bit of pink cream onto your skin.Â
âHeyââ Despite flinching, your tongue automatically darted out to sample the rich semi-sweet frosting, eyes widening in approval, âMm!â
Jay chuckled and licked the remaining frosting off of his thick fingers, watching as you quickly averted his gaze, âI baked and decorated it. Obviously. But this guy stalked your Pinterest boards and saw something similar. So thatâs how we got the idea, I guess.â
âStalked? I just follow her,â Heeseung insisted, twirling the pink ribbon from a balloon around his finger. The two of them glanced at each other, and despite being touched by the sentiment, you paused.
While you had some pretty questionable content saved to the boards on your account, you definitely couldnât have known Heeseung bothered to keep an eye on them.
What else did they see?
âOhâ how thoughtful of you,â You glanced over at the culprit, who suddenly found your carpet fascinating.
Jay cleared his throat and gestured the candle-lit cake towards you, its dancing flames taunting you, âWell, make your wish before the candle wax melts all over it, ___. Anything you want?â
âHm,â You casually stretched your arms and shrugged off your blanket to reveal your gym shorts riding up your thighs as you crossed your ankles, âSo if I wished for you both to leave me alone right now, youâd grant my wish?â
Heeseung untangled his finger from the balloon ribbon, blinking in surprise just as Jayâs shoulders slumped slightly, a flicker of hurt unexpectedly crossing his features. The blond pressed his lips together and stood to his feet.Â
âWell, if thatâs what you want. Weâll leave you be.â
âJayâŚâ
He nearly bumped into Heeseung on his way out but stopped at the sound of your sultry voice.Â
Heeseung seemed enraptured as you gnawed at your lips and ushered Jay back with a simple look and tilt of your chin. The younger manâs gaze settled on the stretch of your thin cotton shirt over your breasts, and you felt yourself flush.
âIâm fucking with you both. Bring my pretty cake back.â
Both of them seemed to perk up as though they misheard you before trying to cover up how your choice words affected them. Â
Jay huffed at your smug grin, âGo on then, blow it out, princess.â
With a roll of your eyes, you leaned forward and blew out the candles lined along the top of the rosy pink cake, leaving a trail of smoke in the air.Â
âThere, I made my wish. Thank you, boys.â
The last word seemed to grate on Jayâs nerves, with the way he haphazardly slid your cake onto your desk.Â
âHey, be careful. Why wouldnât you handle your hard work with care? Iâm gonna eat that later,â You quipped.Â
âWhat was your wish?â Jay dared to ask, crossing his arms as he leaned back onto your desk.Â
That earned him a weird look from you.Â
âYou canât just ask her that,â Heeseung nudged Jay in his side and took the opportunity to sit next to you, the mattress dipping under his weight. Heeseung was a bit intimidating in size, but his proximity didnât make you uncomfortable in the slightestâ or so you liked to tell yourself. âWeâre not done with your gifts yet.â
You faced him and leaned back on your hand, placing the other atop your thighs, skin suddenly prickling with goosebumps. âNo?â
Heeseung couldnât help the subtle smile playing at his lips due to the unnecessary but predictable tension between you and Jay, âWe know the extra attention isnât your favorite, but just for today, donât fight it.â
âWhat do you mean? Donât fight what exactlyâŚ?â You continued to feign confusion, feeling your heart thump erratically as Heeseung tucked your messy hair behind your ears and dragged his soft caress along your warm cheeks.
You felt a sense of adoration in his touch, those languid eyes of his melting into your own so you wouldnât have doubts about what was to follow.Â
âThis,â The manner in which Heeseung moved against you was gentle but confident, his moist lips capturing yours as though he didnât want a second with you to go to waste but still knew he could take his time with you.Â
How could you fight such a sweet kiss?
Not long after, Heeseung began to playfully prod his tongue along your inner cheek before swirling it against yours, slowly dropping his palms down your delicate neck, then even lower, until he found your soft breasts. The squeeze of his warm hands around them sent a jolt through your body and tightened the knot in your belly; you couldnât help but arch your back to press closer to him with an airy moan.
It took a second before you realized the gravity of what you were doing with your shyest roommate and steadied yourself against his chest. âHeeseungââ
Then you felt a rougher set of fingers hook underneath your jaw and steal you away from Heeseungâs kisses.Â
Jay stood over you and held you in place, pressing a frosting-dipped thumb past your lips, the flavor awakening your tastebuds once more.Â
âSuck,â Jay commanded under his breath, which was somehow more intimidating than if he were to shout it. As he pushed the pad of his thumb down onto your wet muscle, you obediently closed your lips around the knuckle of his finger and met his keen eyes.
He nodded approvingly, âThatâs a good girl.â
It was common for the two of you to always give each other a hard time, but if he ever overstepped his boundaries, he always made up for it through an unexpected warm gesture or a home-cooked meal the next day once things had simmered down. He wasnât as much of a hardass as he let on.
At first, Heeseung appeared to be the most laid-back and benevolent of you three, but you always figured he was more of a maverick than one might initially guess. It wasnât until he started playing clever pranks on you after a couple of months of getting to know him that you realized youâd finally cracked through that bashful exterior of his.
Although the three of you shared an undeniable chemistry that allowed you to live together as roommates without entirely wanting to rip each otherâs throats out, neither of them had ever made a move on you beforeâ and you couldnât have ever guessed theyâd make a move on you together.
Were there signals over the months that youâd missed? Looking back, yes, that mightâve been the caseâ but youâd chosen to ignore them due to an inability to make up your mind. Perhaps thatâs why things were getting out of hand; youâd driven the two of them up the wall, and they had no choice but to retaliate.
All you could do right now is try to make it through whatever they had in store for you⌠and somehow, you didnât mind that.Â
âHate it?â Jay asked.
Judging by your heavy eyelids and the sweet hum of your voice vibrating against his digit, he had an idea that it was quite the contrary.
âFigured,â Jay removed his thumb from your mouth with a pop and leaned over to pull you against his lips for a crushing kiss of his own.
He was all heat and didnât hesitate to tug your lips between his teeth or shove his tongue against yours until you were red in the face, gasping for air and more of him simultaneously.Â
âMmhâ Jay!â
He gave you a haughty look and continued to make a mess out of you, ruthlessly nipping at your ear and down your neck, knowing that you enjoyed the roughness of his affection. It almost killed you when he slowed down a bit, eyes flickering open to stare at you with his forehead pressed to yours, breathing the same air as you.
Right then, you felt Heeseung mouth over the fabric of your shirt, gradually coaxing your nipple to hardness. With the moan you rewarded him with, he grew bold and pulled the fabric over your breasts to take the one closest into his mouth, suckling sweetly around it.
You swore your nipples had a direct connection to your clit because it pulsed against your tight shorts and made you sink your fingers into tufts of Heeseungâs dark grey hair with a whimper.
Of course, Heeseung would be the one to make you give in. Â
After seeing your lovely reactions to his other roommateâs ministrations, Jay promptly kneeled on the bed and caught your other nipple with his soft lips. You cried out as he released it with a smack, only to continuously flick at the tip with his tongue, sending you into oblivion.Â
The two boys worked in tandem to pleasure you, tugging at your delicate nipples and laying kisses on your burning skin, the delicious sounds of their mouths worshiping your body falling on your ears. How they had their own ways of going about it made you feel even more cherished by the two. This was the kind of gift that kept on giving.Â
âOh my god, that feels so good,â Panting, you tipped your head back and squeezed your eyes shut, letting the pleasure wash over your body at being tended to with such enthusiasm. Your panties were growing wetter by the second.Â
âI told you sheâd lose it once we started milking her tits,â Heeseung commented, reaching up to stroke your cheek with his thumb, âLike the feeling of getting milked that much, baby?â
The way Heeseung addressed you made your stomach do flips.Â
âMmn, yes⌠You guys are fuckingâ ahâ crazy,â You whined helplessly.
âWeâre not the ones posting kinky shit to our public socials,â Jay deflected with a hoarse laugh, remembering something in particular he saw on yours that he liked.
He continued to suck and knead at your breast with the intent to make you swell under his touch, and by the time you were begging for release, he wanted you to be soaked through your little shorts.
With a bit of tooth and control, Jay gradually sucked around your areola until you let out a delighted yelp, in which he quelled your pain with laps of his tongue. He was extremely cognizant of how your hips twitched, inviting him to touch you further.
âHnghâ please, itâs not like I planted a seed in your minds. You were both perverts to start with,â You shot back despite feeling stranded in the fog of bliss, âJacking off in the shower with my soapâŚâ
Jay, in particular, froze at your accusation.
âIâve used that brand my whole life and noticed each bottle went quicker ever since I moved in with you two. And then jacking off in my bed when Iâm not homeââ
You punctuated your slight annoyance by curling your fingers around Heeseungâs cheeks. That irked you a bit more than Jayâs shower antics for hygienic reasons.
âI can smell your shampoo all over my pillow, you know. Can you at least change my sheets out of courtesy once youâre done? Bet you wanted me to figure it out, didnât you?â
The entirety of Heeseungâs skin above his collar turned a deep shade of scarlet, his large eyes shining from embarrassment. âShit, uh. I-IâŚIâm sorry. Iâll make it up to you. Iâll even do your laundry for a month.â
âWhat, so you can steal another pair of my panties?â
Heeseung couldnât hide his startled expression. A few seconds passed before a smirk made its way onto his flushed face, and he wet his lips. ââCourse not âŚâ
Jay cocked a brow at Heeseung having been exposed to the degree that he was. Really, the two of them shouldâve known better. Although the blond wasnât sure if there were more things Heeseungâs done that you hadnât caught onto yet, he knew that to be so in his case.
âI knew it all along,â You sat up straighter and stroked Jay and Heeseung beneath their chin, spreading your legs to reveal how your arousal had seeped through your layer of panties staining the fabric of your bottoms a darker, enticing shade.
With greedy looks in their eyes, both boys set their sights on the evidence of your excitement, saliva collecting under their tongues.Â
âSo, how are you both really gonna make up for such shameless, deranged behavior?â
Heeseung felt his cock twitch heavily in his sweatpants at your challenge, knowing it was all your fault.Â
âWe were just getting to that part,â Jay appealed, caressing his hand along your inner thigh, dipping closer and closer to your warmth, â___, trust me, youâll forget all about our fuck-ups in a few minutes.â
âYeah, weâll see about that,â You directed Heeseung to continue stimulating your tits by dragging his chin forward as you leaned back onto your elbows.Â
He peeked over his shoulder at Jay, who positioned himself between your legs, and it was evident by the dark glint in his eyes that he wanted to taste you as well. However, you judged his sinful shenanigans to be greater than Jayâs and instead jerked his head towards your chest, your free hand gripping your breast.
âCâmon, Daddy, make my wish come true. Milk my tits and pussy, I want it so badly...â
That was a first. Your words seemed to reset the two back in order; Heeseungâs breath caught in his chest, but Jay fell back into the flow of things quicker.Â
âShit, baby. Weâll give it to you.â
You squirmed as Jay ran his hot tongue over the seam tucked between your swollen mound, his fingers tugging at your waistband to strip you bare.
Heeseung held your hazy gaze as he yanked off his top, tossing it onto the floor before diving back into devouring your breasts. With each messy kiss placed on your chest, your entire body shuddered, and Heeseung found himself groaning against your skin from how amazing it felt to finally gratify his urges for you.Â
It was so satisfying to make you moan nonsensical things while feeling your nails scrape along his nape and upper back.Â
Once Jay freed you from your shorts, all that was left was your drenched panties, which he took an even more passionate lap at, shoving his tongue against the dip of your entrance through the fabric but all too conveniently avoiding where you needed him most.Â
âMm, Daddy⌠please,â You whispered with a gulp, spreading your legs even wider to lure him in, âPlease make me come on your tongue.â
Jayâs eyes softened; in return, he pressed a kiss to the flesh of your trembling thigh and began to remove the last barrier of clothing that kept him from your warm, wet pussy. âAlright, baby. Iâm gonna help you come so much, okay?â
âMhmmâŚâ You nodded.
Ah, it was so different to see him like this. Heâd always spoiled you one way or another, hadnât he?
If only you noticed how his cock was straining in his pants at seeing you spread so prettily for him while thoroughly enjoying getting your tits sucked.Â
âI havenât seen a pussy prettier than this,â Jay commented, catching his roommateâs attention.
For a second, you were given a chance to breathe and merely collapsed onto the sheets, staring up at the balloon-covered ceiling as Heeseung leaned over your body to enjoy the sight of your arousal dripping down your folds.Â
âFuck, itâs so wet,â Heeseung murmured, his eyes drinking up the erotic view of you from above as he spread your lips apart with his middle and index fingers. âLook at that drooly little hole. Itâs clenching so tightlyâŚâ
Jay chuckled, and you could only whimper, feeling Heeseungâs breath ghost over your pussy. Hearing them talk about you so casually caused your face to overheat; you wondered if they ever discussed you behind your back like this.Â
âThink this pink little clit would like it if we suck on it?â
Before Jay could respond, Heeseung pressed forward and swiped his tongue across your swollen clit, fit his lips around the nub, and then sucked.Â
âHeeseung!â You jerked against his face and reached back to grip your duvet, feeling more wetness drip onto your sheets.Â
Heeseung had the nerve to snicker in front of Jayâs face before pressing himself back up at the sound of your needy voice.
Jayâs jaw clenched, but he hadnât made a move to stop the other male since it wasnât against their agreement. All he could do was sink his grip into your mattress, pissed that Heeseung had just stolen the first taste of you from him.
Well, he did practically invite him over to gloat before feasting on you. He just didnât anticipate that itâd backfire; shouldâve thought twice about that.Â
Little did you know itâd work in your favor.Â
âMm, knew youâd taste like candy,â Heeseung hummed, clearly trying to hold back a smile. He tipped your chin up, his voice low and tender, âGive Daddy a kiss, I want you to taste yourself.â
You were tentative in doing so but eventually got lost in the sensation of sharing the taste of your arousal with Heeseung. It made your lips tingle, toes curling against Jayâs shoulders.Â
âAhâŚâ
Every inch of your skin became a magnet for Heeseungâs lips as he kept himself busy, rubbing at your tits, fully aware of the havoc heâd wreaked with Jay. He supposed thatâs one thing he shared in common with youâ getting on Jayâs nerves when he felt like it.Â
Oh, were you feeling absolutely dizzy now, and even more so when a plush pair of lips youâd been missing began to make out with your pussy.Â
You exhaled harshly and glimpsed down your body at the blond tending to your aching mound. All that softness previously on display was gone; Jayâs never looked more starved than he did now, grip fierce on your thighs whilst plunging his tongue into your pussy.   Â
âOh fuck, Jayâ!â
He wasnât messing around. With each heavy drag of his hot tongue on your clit, your muscles seized, breath growing shorter and shorter, your body on the brink of an orgasm.Â
Heeseung latched onto your tit and rolled your other nipple under his fingers, watching your desperate expression from beneath his lashes.Â
With the incredible sensations you were experiencing all over the pleasure points of your body, you were done for.Â
Jay reveled in the fact that you couldnât keep your plush thighs from squeezing tightly around his head. He was just as attentive to your responses as Heeseung, his kisses to your clit pushing you over the edge as your eyes fluttered shut.Â
Shocks of pleasure traveled up your core, causing spasms throughout your entire body. The boys couldnât get enough of your precious moans echoing off your bedroom walls, and Jay seemed to be enjoying your high as much as you were. You felt his moans rumble against your skinâ had a feeling he was savoring every drop of you. Â
Heeseung fondly ran his fingers through strands of your hair strewn across the sheets while your limbs were awash with ecstasy. Despite your twitching, you felt Jay continue to dip between your thighs and gather your creamy release on his tongue. Shortly after, he crept over your body and reached for your jaw, his eyes trained on yours as you felt his cock scorch against your abdomen.
âOpen,â He urged, and not a second later, you were mindlessly offering him your tongue.Â
Your cream dribbled from the tip of his tongue onto yours, like honeyâ and just before the strand could break, he sealed his lips over yours, stroking deeply and slowly into your mouth like he wanted you to blackout in his arms from lack of oxygen.
Oh godâŚ
After all that, you managed to let out a breathless chuckle and offer Jay a bashful smile which he returned.
âSo, did we somewhat make up for our shameless, deranged behavior?â He asked.Â
Well. You supposed you could say you werenât nearly as put off by the secret perversions that took place over the past several months as you were 30 minutes ago.
You swallowed thickly, adrenaline still coursing through your veins as you pressed your sticky thighs together. âYeah⌠a bit.â
âJust âa bitâ she says. Good thing we have more gifts,â Heeseung exchanged a look of amusement with Jay and kneeled by your side.
He began to stroke himself over the jet black sweatpants hanging low on his hips, brazenly shooting you a heated look as he did.
Without thinking, you reached out to touch him, and his large hand immediately covered yours, guiding you to squeeze along his thick cock and feel him up as you pleased. You just couldnât get your hands on enough of himâ either of them.
Heeseung clicked his tongue.
âWanna open mine?â
â
A/N CONT.
Yay, I can finally add something to Jayâs repertoire! It was fun to see what naturally came out on the page for him in this fic, he ended up being Very Daddy. đľâđŤ I actually started a femdom sub!Jay fic months ago but never got around to finishing it so Iâm glad some other anons requested more of him lmao
I wasnât sure if Iâd like writing a threesome fic, but I thought Iâd try it outâ I didnât hate it. A threesome tit sucking scene had been a long time comin đ¤ ANYWAYS Hee was a nice contrast to Jay in this as Iâm still high off of him in NIIY. 𼰠This is also my first time writing in some aspects of a Daddy kink, but Iâm still exploring it. Let me know if you enjoyed that aspect bc I know I usually tend towards more switch dynamics in my fics?
I was about to write a part 2, but I gotta get the other requests done! Also random but not, I feel like perv Hee is just a running joke in this fandom on here, so Iâm just keeping the legend alive (again), heâs the official panty thief â˘
As always, reblog, like or follow me if you enjoyed and check out my masterlist for more fics â°ď¸đ¤ Itâs appreciated!

One Piece Academy chapter 40: Cora san part 2 (Quick translation)
source | part 1 | index
Sanji: Huh..? Aren't you...?
Luffy: Who?
Nami: Luffy! We've just seen this guy in a photo a while ago!
He's Corazon!!
Cora: Guh..!
*tap tap*
Nami: Ah, he's running!
*wham*
Nami: Ah, he fell ;;
Cora: Law, what's the meaning of this? How did this place get busted?!
Law: I'm in a state of shock myself... I swear I wasn't being tailed by anyone.
You guys, how did you...?
Robin: Underestimated our skill of gaining intel, haven't you?
Sanji: You did a good job hiding your tracks, but...
[flashback]
Luffy: Traffy... he's totally gone, huh.
Bart: Ah, Luffy senpai! It's been a while beh!
Luffy: Oh? Isn't that Romeo!
Do y'all know Traffy's place?
Bart: Naa I don't.. Gambia, do you?
Gambia: I dunno. Lemme ask my granma at home.
Gambia: Helloo, granma! Do you know where Trafalgar Law lives?.. Hmm, hmm... oh?
*pulls up a map*
Gambia: She says he lives here! Even gave us details on how to enter!
Bart: Granma really has all the wisdom beh~!
Luffy: COOL!! Thanks!!
Cora: THIS IS WAYY BEYOND THE REALM OF WISDOM THOUGH!!
Usopp: She also said, "if you're worried about the doorknob's prickly static shock, just touch the wall with your palm first."
Law: So she shared some real wisdom too? That damned Bartolomeo!
Zoro: A man believed to be missing is here, 'hiding' so nobody can find him - so it seems.
Corazon:...!
Since I got busted already, I guess there's no going back.
*cracks knuckles*
I'll make sure to make you feel at home.
Coby: Woah!
Law: DON'T START A RICEBALL PARTY!!
Luffy: What flavor is that one, Corao?
Cora: That's umeboshi! Law hates it.
Law: Cora san... ;
Cora: It's okay, Law..
Cora: After all, the only visitors we get in this home far from the town are Bepo and team. And that's just Law's pals.
Law: They're... not exactly pals...
Cora: That said, it's not like someone is expected to live here. The entrance is far down some secret underground passage. We buy our groceries from the neighboring Swallow city.
*clang*
Nami: Why all these secrecy?
Coby: Where are you going?
Cora: Follow me! I'll show you.
Luffy: Traffy's place seems fun!
Law: Make sure not to ravage it.
Cora: This is.. The Doflamingo countermeasure Headquarters.
Nami: The Doflamingo countermeasure Headquarters?
Luffy: That's a lot of Mingo!
Cora: You get the gist of a secret opposing faction, don't you?
In short, we call it "Vs Doff.." "Quarters.." well, something.
And not just Doflamingo, we collect information about the Family executives.. Even about the Onigashima middle school.
I investigate here everyday.. *tapping some keys*
And think of countermeasures.
<bzzzzz>
Coby: YOU JUST SHUT IT DOWN!
Cora: Crap, I blew it up again...
Nami: Cora chan, might you be a bit clumsy?
Cora: I have always been a clutz. It doesn't get better.
Vivi: We know that Doflamingo is a bad guy who needs to be stopped.. But do you, as his brother, have any specific reason for your action?
Cora: As his younger brother, my goal is...to prevent my older brother Doffy from falling into the dark world.
Brook: Dark..
Chopper:... World?
Cora: Do you know what they call Doffy in the town?
Coby : I'm pretty sure it's Joker, "The Town's Charisma"....
Cora: He's a regular hot topic among young admirers, my brother's got that talent in him. But..
He's being approached by the people from the dark world - meaning the Bad adults, as they observed those qualities.
To be honest, brother does have the predisposition and ideas for 'evil.' He's already a bad guy, you can't call him good even as a flattery.
Zoro: Will he remain as the Town's Charisma, or become a Charismatic Evil?
If it's the latter, that'd be way more serious that being just a bad, flawed person...
CONTINUES IN REBLOG âŹď¸

⢠Scaramouche x Eroded God!Reader ⢠Genshin Impact
----
â˘Warning: English is not my first language, I use ggl translate, Vietnamese version below, hurt-comfort, soft!Scara.
Words: 1,5k
English Version:
"Just do what I say, okay?"
You respond with a weak nod. Scaramouche can see your eyebrows furrowed, your nails digging into your knees and your back hunched over like a millipede. He sighs, the overwhelming pain inside you was growing stronger, almost beyond endurance. Scaramouche is afraid you will soon lose consciousness, and worst of all, you won't hear anything he says anymore.
He snaps his fingers to signal a few times:
"I know you're in a lot of pain, don't focus on it, just listen to me."
Scaramouche straightens your back. You can hear him whispering in your ear, repeating the words relax over and over. The fingers on the shoulder pin to the wall are now running down to the lower abdomen, the back of his hand places on the navel slowly pressing gently.
"Don't breathe through your mouth. Absolutely not. Breathe out completely."
He is pleased when his knuckles feel your ribs and pelvis.
"Very good. Inhale, expanding your belly, making sure each inhale is so full that you can't take another breath. Then, exhale completely, flattening your belly. Repeat ten times."
You seem to be struggling, the pain is so great that you can't fully relax your muscles. However, you did as Scara said, trying to focus on your breathing, mentally maintaining those words like a broken tape recorder.
"Hey! You're transferring the pain into--"
Before he can finish speaking, Scara quickly squeezes your mouth painfully enough for moans to escape from your throat. You felt two of his knuckles wedged between your jaws followed by a sharp crack as you bit down and pieces that felt like porcelain or plastic shattered in your mouth. They quickly turned into pale yellow spots of light, drifting along with the red blood flowing down the chin and floor. You coughs, your whole body collapses, the agony was like a cleansing spear cutting your body in half. At that moment, there was only a plaintive scream in your ears, not Scaramouche's, your mind was only filled with a dazzling, dense white that made your eyes and skin numb. You find yourself exposed to the naked essence, they burn your nerves, the pain is excruciating but you cannot move even a knuckle bend. Everything is just white, white and polarized to the point that it's like three or four millennia have passed, and life is inviting you back to the dark night.
"Hey! Wake up, did you hear anything?"
You realize you are screaming, you are in a kneeling position holding your head. Scaramouche used all his strength to get you back into a meditative position but it was useless, you looked like a dried corpse.
When the pain fades, you take a deep breath, repeat what he told you five times before standing up straight on your hands and knees.
"Kunikuzushi..."
"You're always like that, you always hold your breath when you're in pain."
He frowns, placing two uninjured fingers under your nose to check the stability of your breathing.
"I hurt you again."
You grab his wrist, pull him closer. Half of his mangled hand is still bleeding. Raising his head to look into his eyes, Scara just gives you the look like not to worry. Sighing, you kiss his white wrist, blue light envelopes both of you and in a moment his beautiful hand intacts.
"I can heal myself. If you still have the strength, you'd better find a way to lift your body up."
Scaramouche let you lay your head on his shoulder, hearing your own panting, you also guessed his dissatisfied expression.
"Just makes your work easier."
Scaramouche is not a good at healing his wounds, and he rarely lets himself get seriously injured in fights. You're right, if he needed to heal half of his hand by himself, he'd have to keep it hidden in his pocket for a week at the palace.
"So does it work?"
"Maybe it would be effective if I focused completely on my breathing. At first I did as you said and it helped, but at the last moment the erosion was almost at its peak, I passed out and stopped breathing... To be honest it was quite difficult to do."
Scaramouche laughs:
"If every time it hurts you remember what I said, do half of it would be great."
"What do you mean by that?"
Seeing your confused face, he hesitates for a moment but finally answeres:
"I'm going to Sumeru, I'm not sure how long it will take..."
Scaramouche knows it is quite useless to look for some method to relieve your pain when most of them are useless. He also understands that even if it's painful, you can get over it, whether he's here or not doesn't help much. However, Scaramouche couldn't stop worrying about leaving you to torment yourself.
"I'll be fine. Even if I breathe wrong or stop breathing, I'll still live."
"That's right, I worry about nothing."
He smirks and looks down condescendingly. Having said that, he cleaned up the mess before holding you down.
"I have to go, take care of yourself...okay?"
"You look worried. You won't come back?"
You confusedly clasp your fingers together when you catch Scara's complex, long look at you. Fear comes when you start to think he was too tired of taking care of you and now Scara was choosing a reason, looking for a good excuse to leave. If he does that, you think you'll still be okay, you'll overcome everything, even dying alone, if you've come this far, all the worries in the world are just...
"No, I just don't know if I can return or not."
Scara interrupts your train of thoughts, his hand covering your withered eyes.
"Why are you discouraged this time? It's not like you at all..."
"It's a premonition."
You intertwine your hands in his and whispered:
"Didn't I bless you?"
Once again, you spread kisses on the hand that had been broken countless times because of you.
"Are you saying this is a blessing?" Scara laughs mockingly, "To be honest, I expected something more. But, I think I will find a way to return, I'm afraid it will take a long time, soon maybe a year, maybe longer... thirty or fifty years?"
An indescribable wistful look, Scara suppresses a sigh of frustration, you have enough problems to worry about, he doesn't want to make the situation worse. But, he is just afraid that at this rate, if he doesn't come back soon, you may not remember who you are, don't even say him.
"I won't forget you," You pull him closer, clasping your hands in a very urgent prayer position, "Even if I lose myself. Please promise to return, I can wait as long as it takes."
Hearing your voice lost in endless fear, eyes bright and pure, lips trembling, he smiles faintly:
"Does someone like you have to beg?"
"Aren't you my god?"
Scaramouche leans in to kiss affectionately at the tail of your eyes as deep as a well:
"I'm always your god, right?"
He bends down, snuggles into the crook of your neck, he doesn't know how long it will be before he can immerse in your hug and kiss.
"I will return, I am not the one who would betray my archon."
Scara places one last kiss on your forehead as you drift off into a light sleep. He put firewood in the stove, turns off some candles and oil lamps, adjusts the blanket and the direction of your slippers.
I hope that on the days I leave, Snezhnaya will be warmer.

For the dialogue prompts: Steddie + 22. âYes, you totally can. You can do anything! Um. Do what, exactly?â
also on ao3
"Do you think I could ask Eddie out?"
Robin chokes on her 7-Up, and a little goes up her nose, and it burns, but she still turns to Steve, wide-eyed. Her face is wet with soda, but she doesn't bother to wipe it at she stares at him and he stares back, blank-faced.
"Well?"
"Run that by me one more time?"
"Okay--" He sighs, dropping his head for a moment as he leans over the counter, pushing his pack of Red Vines away. "Look."
"Where did this come from?" Robin bursts, finally wiping her face clean of the soda and the single tear that's fallen from her eye. (It really burned.)
"I-- Okay," Steve says again, sighing heavily. He glances at the door, which is hanging open to combat the summer heat, but it's a slow day today, and the parking lot is empty except for his Beemer and two other cars. "I kind of... really like him." Her eyes widen more and her head tilts. "And I only realized, like, yesterday, so I haven't been keeping this from you, I swear. I just..."
And then Robin is grinning, and she hops over, bouncing up onto the counter next to him and setting her soda down dangerously fast. It almost tips, and Steve stares at it with wide eyes as Robin kicks her feet and looks down at him.
"How'd you realize?" she asks excitedly, rocking back and forth.
"Are you serious?" he questions, looking up at her with a raised eyebrow.
"I never got to talk about crushes when I was a kid," she complains, whining and kicking at him. "Let me have this, come on. Tell me."
He sighs heavily, looking around again even though they're alone, and he leans against the counter next to her legs, a smile now teasing at his lips.
"He made me a mixtape," he says, and Robin grins, watching the way his eyes glaze over a little.
"Was it all metal?"
"I mean. Yeah. That's kinda all he listens to," he says, and he's fidgeting with his fingers, twisting them and cracking his knuckles. "But it was... It was good. I liked it."
"Right..." she prompts, nudging his side with her foot again. She lifts her 7-Up to her mouth as he nibbles on his bottom lip, thinking.
"There was one song on it," he says slowly, carefully. "That just... I don't know. It felt... different."
"Different how?"
"Like... Romantic?"
Robin's smile grows until it almost hurts, and she kicks him.
"How does it go?"
"I don't remember," he lies (she can tell), "but part of the chorus says something about, uhm. 'I'm a prisoner of your eyes.'" He pauses, brows furrowing as he thinks. "And there's a part about, like, 'I've locked myself inside your heart and thrown away the key." And, uhm, 'Only time will tell if I can live without you,' or something."
"Oh my god," she says succinctly. He stands up straight, looking at her, exasperated.
"Right? And I can't tell if it's, like, just a good song that he thought I'd like or if he's trying to say something or if he's saying something without meaning to, or..."
"Okay, wait, how did you realize you like him?"
"I just..." He sighs heavily, falling forward so his face is smushed against her thigh, and she pats his head. "Was listening to it and thought about, like. If someone else showed me that song it would be romantic. And then I thought, like 'What if it is romantic?' and I thought I wouldn't mind if it was, coming from him, and then I just... Realized I kinda want it to be."
Robin's heart swells. She runs her fingers through his hair tenderly, and he sighs again.
"You're cool with liking a guy?" she asks after a moment. "When I realized I like girls I totally freaked out."
He shrugs, standing up again and sighing.
"It took a minute," he says a little tiredly, "but... Weirder shit's happened in my life. Liking a guy doesn't seem like the end of the world when you've witnessed and survived the actual end of the world, you know?"
She frowns thoughtfully.
"Yeah. I guess."
"Just... I mean I guess I'm just kind of stressed about, like... What if he doesn't like guys?" he asks, picking up a Red Vine and taking a bite.
"I don't think you have to worry about that," she says without thinking, and his eyes widen as he looks at her, half a Red Vine hanging from his mouth.
"...Huh?"
"...Uh."
He stares for a few more seconds, chewing slowly.
"Do you think he's gay?" he whispers.
"Well, I don't think he's straight."
He swallows and throws the other half of the candy to the counter aggressively.
"Robin."
"Steve."
"Are you serious?"
"Look, I'm not saying I know everything, I'm just saying he seems kinda..." She shrugs weakly.
He takes a breath, one of his hands flapping weakly for a moment as he raises onto his tiptoes and then lowers, calming himself. And Robin thinks maybe they spend too much time together.
"Are you serious?" he says again, and his eyes are wide and shining, and he suddenly looks like he's the kids' ages, like he's just a boy with a crush instead of a man that had to grow up too fast and then never got the chance to slow down. She shrugs, smiling a little. "Do you think I could do it?" he asks almost excitedly, giddily, and God, she loves him.
"Yes, you totally can, you can do anything!" a voice says brightly from the doorway, and they both jump, looking up to find Eddie strolling in, wearing a pair of jeans despite the heat and a white shirt that reads Iron Maiden with some illustration on it. The sleeves are cut off, exposing his tattooed arms and his scars, and Robin knows Steve is probably melting just looking at him as he approaches the front counter and leans over, looking at Steve with shining eyes. "Um. Do what, exactly?"
Steve and Robin look at each other.
Now's your chance.
Should I?
Yes, obviously. Use the breakroom.
What if you're wrong?
I'm not, get out of here.
Eddie waits patiently, looking back and forth between them, smiling almost nervously like he knows they're talking about him, and his face light up and his smile softens when Steve looks at him.
"Uh. Can we talk?"
"Yeah," Eddie says lightly, confusedly. "'Course, what's up?"
"Like..." Steve gestures with a tilt of his head toward the back, and Eddie taps on the counter as he stands up straight, following him.
Robin kicks her feet, smiling at the ground and lifting her 7-Up again.
---
"So."
"You okay?" Eddie asks as the door shuts behind them. He leans against the back of it looking offensively good as he crosses his arms over his chest.
"Yeah, no, I just... Uhm." Steve takes a deep breath, moving to lean against the wall across from him. The room is laid out so there's a wall in front of the door, so their shoes are almost touching. Eddie's wearing some black Converse today, scuffed and ripped and stained with mud and grease. "Wanted to ask you something."
"Okay," Eddie says slowly. "What might that be?"
"Uhm." Steve takes a breath. "That mixtape you made me."
"Did you listen to it?" Eddie asks, his eyes lighting up.
"Yeah," Steve says, and he can't suppress his smile, looking at him. His hair is tied up in a messy bun on top of his head, probably with a hair tie he stole from Nancy, but there are some pieces falling down around his face, and it looks pretty. Eddie pulls a piece across his face shyly.
"Did you like it?"
Steve blinks at him.
"Yeah," he says breathlessly. "I liked it a lot."
"Really?" Eddie asks, beaming.
"Yeah," Steve says, his smile widening. "There was one song--"
"Which one?"
"I think it was called..." Steve hesitates, watching Eddie carefully. "Prisoner of Your Eyes?"
Eddie's smile falters, and his eyes flicker across Steve's face, his hand lowering the curl he's holding.
"You like that one?" he asks, his voice softer, and Steve almost has all the confirmation he needs.
"Yeah," he says shyly. "...Made me think of you."
Eddie's eyes widen the slightest bit, and he stares at Steve, and in the small space, Steve can practically hear his heartbeat. (And what a beautiful sound that is.) Eddie drops his hand and puts it in his pocket.
"The others didn't?" Eddie says, and Steve scoffs, kicking his foot lightly.
"You know what I mean."
"Do I?"
Steve looks at him, and Eddie's eyes are boring into his, dark and shiny and Steve could swear he can see the universe in them. Eddie is unblinking, and he looks like he's holding his breath, apprehensive and shy and nervous.
Steve stands up straight off the wall, taking a deep breath as he steps closer. Eddie's eyes somehow widen even more. They're practically the same height, but he still looks like he's looking up at Steve, eyes shining.
"Do you?" Steve asks, his voice soft now, almost whispering.
Eddie's lips part as he looks at him, and he's close enough now for Steve to see each eyelash, to see the strand of hair that's on his face. Steve reaches up to move it out of the way. Eddie's cheeks flush pink.
"Is this what you were talking about with Robin?" he asks, his voice breathy, as he looks across Steve's face, his eyes lingering on his mouth. Steve hesitates, his face warming.
"Uh. I asked her if she thought I could ask you out."
Eddie's eyes snap back to Steve's and flick back and forth between like he's looking for a lie in them, like he's searching for an indication of Steve's honesty.
"Really?" he breathes.
Steve nods, smiling softly at him. He reaches up and tucks a curl behind his ear tenderly, tracing a line down his neck, looking at the scars that match Steve's own.
"What do you think?" he whispers. "Could I?"
"Yeah," Eddie breathes. "I think you could."
Steve suppresses a smile, moving closer and touching Eddie's face, caressing his cheeks, tracing the scar that's on his left cheek, rough and pink and a little silvery and beautiful.
"Will you go out with me?" he asks softly, disregarding the second part of the question, which clarifies that going out for them isn't the same as it is for other couples, because they have to pretend to be friends, because Steve can't bring him flowers, because he can't kiss him in the parking lot. But for now, at this moment... they can pretend.
"Yes," Eddie says, and his hands finally find Steve's waist, his fingers pressing into the fabric of his vest. "I'll go out with you."
"Yeah?" Steve asks weakly, smiling, and Eddie's eyes flicker across his face again, his fingers tightening on his waist.
"Yeah," he says. "I wanna."
"Shit," Steve breathes. "Okay."
"Okay," Eddie says softly.
They stare at each other for a moment, just breathing. Touching each other. Holding each other.
"Will you kiss me, please?" Eddie bursts after a moment.
"Can I?" Steve asks, his heart pounding, excited, and Eddie pulls at his waist impatiently.
"Please," he says adamantly. "I've wanted to kiss you for fucking ages, I'm begging you, Stevie."
Steve beams so brightly that his face hurts, and he moves closer, setting a hand on Eddie's chest and pressing him into the door.
Eddie's eyes are already almost closed, and he's lifting his chin up for him, lips parted, and Steve wonders how he could have gone this long without realizing he likes men, because Eddie is the most beautiful thing he's ever seen.
"You're fucking gorgeous," Steve whispers when their lips brush, and Eddie's hands tighten again as he pulls at his vest.
Steve kisses him before he can say anything.
Eddie gasps and clutches at his back as Steve presses him into the door harder, and Steve is so glad his life's worked out the way it has, because somehow he has Eddie Munson up against a door, kissing him like his life depends on it, and he wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Steve holds his face tenderly, tilting his head as he kisses him again, and he can feel Eddie's pulse hammering against his fingertips as he presses them into his skin under his jaw. Steve smiles, catching Eddie's lip between his teeth, and Eddie lets out a breathy hum.
"Do you wanna spend the night at my place tonight?" Steve asks breathlessly when they part, panting, and Eddie kisses him desperately before he answers. His hands are pressing into the small of his back. It feels good.
"Yeah, obviously," he says softly into his mouth, licking at his lip. Steve grins.
"Cool," he whispers. He pulls back just enough to look at him, at the way his lips are red and shiny now, the way his eyes are a little glazed over. "'Cause I got, like, twenty years of repressed bisexuality to work through and I kinda want you there for it."
"Oh, fuck. Okay, yeah, yes."

They're taking too long. Robin helps a customer, the only one that comes by, and she helps herself to Steve's Red Vines, nibbling them as she watches the movie they put on earlier even though she can't really follow along because she got a little distracted earlier.
She looks over at the breakroom, sighing, bored, and then she sticks a Red Vine in her mouth, stepping cheerfully around the counter to the breakroom, where she pauses, listening in case they're talking. She just hears a soft, breathy hum, and she grins, her fist hovering above the door before she knocks hard.
"Jesus fucking--"
"Robin!"
She cackles happily, throwing her head back.
"I'm bored," she says loudly, and Steve calls back, "Okay, well, I'm not, so fuck off."
She groans loudly, falling against the door, and she hears Eddie
They emerge after another few minutes, their hair touseled and cheeks red, and Eddie is grinning smugly.
"Rob," Steve says before he's even at the counter. "You're staying at Nancy's tonight."
"Yeah, I figured."

Hmm, how about Rika for that character ask game? đ And I'll throw in Zen as well, feel free to babble about him as much as you want <3
HO HO HO someone actually wants to hear my hot takes!!! Well, youâre in for a treat, my friend *cracks knuckles*
Rika
favourite thing about her
Iâm gonna be hella controversial here, BUT my favourite thing about Rika is the lengths to which the game goes to justify her. HEAR ME OUT. This is the treatment always reserved for male characters. They are the ones getting coddled, loved, and redeemed (cough Jihyun Kim cough Jumin Han cough Saeran Choi). And Rika doesnât even (arguably) get redeemed! She gets justified! The game explicitly tells you: âforgive her, or youâre a rape/pedophile apologistâ. And hoo boy, thatâs refreshing to see, especially in a game as misogynistic as MysMes.
I support womenâs wrongs in this case. Raped women can have little a death cult. As a treat.
*mic drop*
least favourite thing about her
Hmm, I donât know! I think Rika is a really good sympathetic villain. Sheâs sleazy, creepy, and at times plain terrifying. Recently I was chatting with a follower and we talked at length about how scary of an all-permeating presence Rika is/was to the RFA. But on the other hand, she has solid motivations for what she does, she has a pretty coherent (if fucked up) philosophy she follows, sheâs well-rounded as a character!
I think the only thing I donât particularly like about her is the voice performance and the whole Mika schtick. Rika doesnât need someone nudging her towards the idea of a death cult to make her, as a villain, sympathetic. With all sheâs been through, she is already sympathetic enough. And itâs enough that she takes her fucked up situation and turns it around to her advantage in this MORE fucked up way. Itâs way more interesting.
And on the voice performances, I have very particular opinions. Rikaâs strikes me as poorly acted oftentimes. Even taking into account the difference in mannerisms familiar to my Ukrainian ear VS the actressâ Korean.
favourite line
I love when, between being completely unhinged, she says incredibly sane stuff like this:
Like, SHEâS NOT WRONG!!!! Say it louder, queen!
But alsoâŚ
brOTP
Honestly, Iâm not sure Rika can truly have friends. I donât think with her levels of fucked up, she could really keep such an arrangement. She can have followers, and she can have lovers, but I think, ultimately, she has never seen a normal equal relationship to such an extent that she wouldnât know how to maintain it. So I guess itâs a blank here.
OTP
I think Rika with an evil fucked up MC is very *chefâs kiss*. V can suck it. And those two could be gay and do crime. Admittedly, I didn't pursue that ending, although I wad tempted, but I like the concept a lot.
But also, I love the dynamic of JuVRika and how they make each other worse, dragging everyone around them down with them. Those people are entangled in all sorts of manipulative and hurtful dynamics, and they all latch onto each other and refuse to let each other go. Truly a dysfunctional family, a toxic polycule, donât join them when they spot you across the bar.
nOTP
I donât have any strong negative feelings about Rika being shipped with anyone. Gonna be controversial again, but I donât even judge people who see something romantic in Yoosungâs feelings for her. Go and indulge your toxic fucked up ships with my blessing.
random headcanon
Hmmm, donât wanna repeat myself with the headcanons I already posted about her. I think a not-before-mentioned one that I really enjoyed was the one that came to life when I was talking to that follower about the Zen post. They said that Rika was down to solicit Zen for sex (maybe with V watching/filming/taking pictures) when they roped him into the RFA. And Iâm seriously considering this possibility.
unpopular opinion
ANOTHER ONE?
Okay, here goes: I think Rika held way less power in her relationship with V than is often attributed to her. She was pretty much homeless and barely an adult when she was proposed to after just a couple months of barely knowing each other by some sort of a rich boy heir. She was severely mentally ill and she had pretty much no power in that relationship whatsoever. Without V, she would never have gotten access to those rich people and their resources, I donât think. Yes, Rika made her fucked up decisions herself, but V made her SO MUCH worse beforehand. I think Rika is often blamed for what is actually his part.
song i associate with her
You are in luck! I make Spotify playlists for all characters and ships that interest me!
But if I had to pick one, probably On a Wire by Belasco
Shot myself
A final gaze
Through the glass of the watch
That you engraved:
âTo my love, my eternal loveâ...
âYOU LIED, YOU BITCHâ â
I screamed from above.
And you,
Yeah you,
You wanted more than to fill a room with careless lies,
And you,
Yeah you,
You were the apple, no, the cause of my strife.
favourite picture of her
This one for the sheer memetic possibility.
Zen
favourite thing about him
I absolutely LOVE his backstory, even though it is so little explored. I love how dark it is and how it perfectly explains all of the shitty takes he has on the world and all the shitty habits he inflicts on the people he loves. I love his tragedy, I love how dark of a character he actually is, and how he came out of that hell so flawed, and yet undeterred. I love how rough around the edges his past has made him.
And oh, donât get me STARTED on the voice performance. Best in the game, no contest.
least favourite thing about him
His route. I canât STAND the whole premise, and I think it ruins him for a lot of people.
Iâm also peeved by the way fandom doesnât treat him seriously, but that pales before the treatment Yoosung is given, so I donât think itâs worth elaborating on.
Yeah, the worst thing about Zen is his route, where he gets accused of raping a woman (poor boy gets his life ruined by an evil female, amirite, happens all the time), you gotta believe he is in the right there with no proof whatsoever (because women are evil and always lie, especially about rape, you know), AND THEN he is forced to reconcile with his shitty family that bullied him and let people harass him, to the point that he preferred to become homeless and a criminal??? And he never ONCE gets called out on his actual shitty behaviours?! Babes?!!
favourite line
This one on Jaehee route.
Itâs so little yet so poignant. It is such a fleeting little thing, but it encapsulates his character in its entirety: lonely, hurt, yet caring about others first and foremost in his own clumsy ways; guarding his own wounds from others lest they suffer even a little bit of what heâs been through by proxy.
That guy makes me Feel Feelings.
brOTP
Zenhee! Or Zen/MC, specifically Joori, the MC I came up with and Jaeheeâs girlfriend. But if weâre talking canon characters, then Jaehee. They would make each other so much better! Their friendship has so much potential! Zen would care for her in the very way she needs, I think his overbearing care is a perfect match for her self-neglecting self, and donât get me started on how much he hypes her up! I saw a very good post recently about Zen wanting to be the older brother figure his own brother couldn't be to him, and here, I think, he could really shine. And Jaehee, with her reasonable and level-headed approach, would really give him good advice and bring him back to earth. She, too, can be overbearing with her care, but to beat Zenâs mind, set in his ways so hard he canât look up? Yeah, that would work on him.
In general, it would be fun to see Zen have friendships with strong no-nonsense women, because he himself has strong enough a character and big enough a personality to offer them something cool and interesting, but also he really needs to be called out on his bullshit more.
OTP
âŚdo I need to answer that? Iâm THE Yoozen ambassador in this fandom, I am proud, and Iâm still going strong. Yoozen/Zensung is THE ship ever, and I stand by it.
They care about each other a hell of a lot in canon, they compliment each other and stand up for each other, and I think theyâre pretty much the only real friends in the whole RFA. And given Zen doesnât let anyone close, the fact that he often invites Yoosung over and likes it is just very telling to me. The way they rely on each other and care for each other, despite Zen (and, arguably, sometimes Yoosung, too?) having no normal ways of showing it OR accepting it, makes my heart flutter. They talk about each other very tenderly to MC, too.
Also, I think theyâd be incredibly good and healing for each other. Yoosung is very emotionally intelligent, empathetic, and insightful, and in him, Zen has a delicate and loving presence that he doesnât have to explain himself to too much. Yoosung accepts him and wants to actually offer him warmth. And Yoosungâs open and kind enough to invite openness and kindness in return. He sees Zen for the big-hearted person that he is, and he could bring it out to shine.
And Zen is already so willing in canon to be the shoulder to cry on for Yoosung, to be good to him, he already wants to support him, help him, care for him, but he does it in all the wrongest and pushiest ways, hitting right into Yoosungâs own trauma. Yet, for all his forcefulness, Zen would give Yoosung the love that he craves: big, dramatic, and romantic. He is the protector, and he would do his damnedest to shield the softness in Yoosung, yet he would be the greatest inspiration and support for him to become firmer in his own personhood.
Besides, Zen with his fighting responses has the love that can complement Yoosungâs in its self-sacrificiality, and itâs just such a delicious dynamic for me.
nOTP
I am in general very faithful in terms of ships, so Iâm not into any ships besides Yoozen that include Zen or Yoosung. But if weâre talking stronger feelings? Definitely Zumin. I am NOT into the trend of seeing outright hostility and saying, âyeah, thatâs love right thereâ. I am old-fashioned like that.
random headcanon
I headcanoned extensively about Zen, both here and on Drawingmen, but the absolute pet headcanon of mine is the guy he had âtoo many firstsâ with, the unseen presence that prompted Love Story and that haunts Zen in all of my fanfic, but particularly Down Bad and The Wolf. I am currently writing a fic centering them both, and I even have a playlist about them now.
unpopular opinion
Romantically, I would not wish Zen upon any woman at all whatsoever. Zen has internalised the street code, he is EXTEREMELY prone to overcompensating, and heâs so desperate to be a beacon of masculinity (as an overcompensation, too, ironically) that he is bound to hurt people. His explosive character is just asking for trouble, and with the way he mellows down for the MC on his route⌠yeah, I know men like him. It never lasts long. I would not wish for any woman to deal with a man like that in a relationship.
song i associate with him
I got a Zen playlist, too, but itâs long and I havenât filtered it in a while. The one song I would pick⌠probably Leave Me In by Zahl.Â
It's all right if there's a battle tonight.
I'm right here and I'm ready to fight.
I swear I'm gonna kick daylight,
Serves him damn right.
So go on say your prayers,
But say them when I'm not there,
Cause that god, if he's there,
All he had for me was fear
And also, lately, Rokas by JUUK. After I drew that art with Zenâs hands over the years. Nothing quite particular about him in the lyrics, but it is now The Vibe.
You conceal your arms,
I conceal mine.
favourite picture of him
The CGs where he has Yoosung in his lap:
If I had a penny for each CG with Yoosung lying in Zen's lap, I'd have two pennies, which isn't much, but funny that it happened twice đ
If you got this far, just letting you know I love you <3 Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ramble!

"Please don't leave me/I can't do this without you" from anonymous (caretaker - 20); "dance with me" from @sasskarian (flowers - viscaria); "come down/come back" from anonymous (flowers - Jacob's ladder).
3000 words, set mid-Act 3. I had too much fun with this one, so you'll have to forgive the self-indulgence.
â
âSay it.â
âCertainly not.â
âSay it.â Tavâs whisper had taken on the wheedling quality that it always did when she was laughing at his expense. âPlease donât leave me, darling. I canât do this without you.â
âIâll rot first,â Astarion snapped, and he heard Tav stifle a snort of laughter in her own arm. A few rustles followed as she clearly settled down to wait on the other side of the cell wall; Astarion guessed they were roughly back to back, even if six inches of solid stone separated them. He stretched out his legs in the thin, disgusting straw that covered the prison floor, crossed his bare ankles, and closed his eyes. âHow utterly useless you are.â
âIâm not the one in Heapside.â
âFor once in your life,â Astarion said bitterly, and he heard her laugh again. âWretched, half-witted clod. Watching me paraded away by three Fistsâthree of themâfor no reason at all. Not even an attempt to save me. An innocent man!â
âYou stole a melon in broad daylight.â
âHalf a melon. From an abandoned picnic blanket in the middle of the park without a single soul in sight to complain.â He curled his lip in annoyance. âIâd picked it up for you, darling.â
âLiar.â
She was rightâheâd taken it as idly as Gale humming while he cookedâbut Astarion was in no mood to entertain conciliation. âWell! As charming as it is to sit here and listen to you gloat, my dear, I apparently have a gods-damned sentencing to await.â He thumped his head back against the wall in annoyance. âNearly two hundred years successfully avoiding this execrable place, and you have me slung in here within a handful of months.â
âI just wanted to share the joy with you.â
âPlease donât.â
âShut up in there,â one of the guards said sharply. He rattled a cudgel against the bars of Astarionâs cell, then peered into the dim shadows. âWho the hells are you talking to?â
âMyself, darling,â Astarion drawled. âThe best company one can dredge up in this awful place.â He rapped a knuckle against the wall behind his head. âTell me, whatâs behind here? Storage? Another cell?â He leered. âSomewhere you and I might be a little moreâŚprivate?â
âFink,â he heard Tav breathe through the cracked stone.
The guard flinched, blushed, and smacked the iron bars again. âNothing for you to care about. Shut your mouth or Iâll shut it for you.â
âI suppose my fortitude is robust enough to endure the mystery,â Astarion said aloud, and the guard continued on his route, still grumbling. After a moment, with the last bare vestiges of his temper, Astarion hissed, âWell?â
A series of images raised themselves before his mindâs eye, like a cardsharp rifling through a trick deck. A loose stone about two feet to his left, displaced just enough for Tav to slide through a wrapped set of her lockpicks. A great storage chest in the middle of the main prison floor, made of oak and reinforced with iron straps, where all his stripped belongings had been stored. A view of the main room through a cracked doorâthe door to the privy hallway where Tav was hiddenâand the pair of guards playing checkers at the back table, swords ready at hand beside them.
Excellent. He didnât bother to work out a planâthey never seemed to come right anywayâbut as he laid one surreptitious hand on the loose stone, he felt Tav hold it in place from the other side, preventing him from taking the tools. âPlease, darling. Donât be a bore.â
âTell me you canât do it without me.â
âIâll shout your name to the bloody rafters if you donât let go.â
âHow stupid that I still love you,â he heard her sigh, and the stone released.
Ignoring the swoop his heart gave at that, Astarion quickly unrolled the leather and perused her tools. This part of his cell was exceedingly dark, and he had to pause with affected unconcern for a moment or two as the patrolling guard made another lap. Even so, he could see enough to be disgusted. âUgh.â
âWhat?â
âYour tension wrench has a bend in the neck.â He grimaced. âAnd your long rake is missing altogether. Darling, you live like this?â
âWhy would I need a rake when I have the half-diamond?â Ah, there was real irritation in her voice now. Entertainment at last. âAnd you bent the tension rod, remember? When you borrowed it in the basement of Sorcerous Sundries, after your own melted in that fire trap.â
âI donât recall,â he said in that offhanded way that he knew infuriated her, and he tucked the rest of the rolled-up toolkit into his shirtsleeve. âHonestly! Iâm amazed youâve ever unlocked anything lately.â
The gasp of outrage made him choke on his own laughter. âIdiot!â she said, the whisper almost slipping into full voice, and then he heard a shuffle behind the wall. âYouâre on your own. Tymora keep you in your escape, because I certainly wonât.â
âCome now, darling, donât be petty.â Astarion paused, but there was no answering retort, no further whisper or step. He reached out with the tadpole, but it rebounded off her mind like a hammer off an anvil, and he winced at the recoil.
Sheâd wholly shut him out. Sheâd actually left him here in this Heapside cell by himself. He was shocked at his own dismay. âTavish? I demand you come back.â
âI told you to shut up in there!â
Silence.
Gods. Sheâd left him. Two hundred years knowing himself utterly alone and friendless, and the betrayal still felt as new and agonizing as a white-hot poker between the ribs. Gods below. He wanted to rip out his dead heart and crush it. He knew he could get out easily with what sheâd slipped himâknew these cells would be as porous as sheâd describedâbut by the Hells, that wasnât the pointâ
âWhat are you waiting for?â Tav hissed.
Relief crashed over him like an upturned bucket of water. âI thought youâd left,â he gasped, unable to pretend away the fear.
âI would never really leave you,â she said shortly, as if it were obvious. Her voice was a little further away, he realized, and a little lower, as if sheâd crouched deeper in some shadow, but she was still here, still with him, and the tremendous comfort that provided was at once appalling and invigorating. âI wouldnât leave my worst enemy here. Wellâmaybe Gortash, I guess. But you? No. Never.â
âGood,â Astarion said, thoroughly shaken. âIâd hate to have to snap this tension wrench the rest of the way.â
âIâll snap your fingers if you do. Are you ready?â
âNaturally, darling. Do try to keep up.â He clambered to his feet, stretched, then went to the door of his cell, where he casually folded his arms against the bars. âGuard! Oh, guard! Come hereâsomethingâs the matter with my lodgings.â
âTyrâs right hand,â the man sighed, circling the roomâs central pillar to come to him. âYouâre noisier than a fleet of jackdaws. Whatâs wrong with you now?â
âAny number of things,â Astarion said, letting the annoyance bleed through every word. As the guard reached his door, a shadow flickered behind him. It was gone in an instant, and a moment later one of the braziers on the pillar went out with a little puff of smoke. âIâll settle at the moment for the straw, however.â
âThe straw?â
He swept his arm grandly behind him. âLook at it! Thin, damp, and utterly reeking of piss. My dear boy, these arenât fit conditions for a dog, much less a man.â He could barely make out the shape of the chest that held his belongings in the deepened shadows, but he thought he saw the lid lift an inch or two, pause, then lift a few inches more. âOh! How curiousâŚhm.â
The guard took a few hesitant steps nearer, hand on his cudgel. âWhat? What is it? What are you looking at?â
âYour eyes. They nearly glow in the lamplight.â He let his voice drop into his chest, low and rumbling, and turned his head so that the curl of his close-mouthed smile caught the torches. âTheyâreâŚbeautiful. Thatâs all. Captivating, really.â
âWhat does he want?â called one of the guards playing checkers.
âNothing, nothing!â Even in the dimness Astarion could see the man was blushing furiously. Gods, how easy it was to slip back into all of this, like reaching for some ancient tattered overcoat at the start of winter. Not warm, not beloved, not even attractiveâjust the only functional defense one had against freezing to death. âCaptivating,â the man repeated, a little amazed, and then he gave a self-conscious laugh. âOh. Because youâreâbecause youâre captive.â
Disgusting. A wit. Astarion snaked a hand between the bars and ran a finger up the manâs armored stomach. âAnd charming, too. What a pity.â
In his periphery, the lid of the wooden chest dropped silently shut. The shadow darted back behind the pillar while the man was staring cross-eyed at Astarionâs finger; a moment later Tav straightened up directly behind the guard, peering at Astarion over the manâs shoulder. Her eyebrows were raised in question.
The fight to keep his face still was monumental. Little idiot!
The man gave a startled, awkward laugh into the quiet and began to back away. Astarion hooked a finger in his collar like lightning and dragged him an inch or two nearer the bars. âYou know, darling, this cellâs rather big for one person. A man might find himself lonely if heâs left here long enough. You knowâŚâ He licked his lips. âFrustrated.â
Tav rolled her eyes over the guardâs shoulder, but she noiselessly dipped away into the dark again as the guard stammered and babbled. After a few seconds Astarion saw the door on the far side of the room crack open, revealing a glimpse of stairs beyond, then close. He waited a few minutes more, idly toying with the guardâs belt as he murmured something nonsensical about candlelight, and then the door opened and closed again without a sound. Perfect.
âBut youâreâyouâre so beautiful,â the man was saying, and the very small portion of Astarion that was still listening gave a polished, tittering laugh. âI reckon I probably shouldnât haveâyou know. Told you to shut up.â
âYouâll think of a way to make it up to me,â Astarion purred, and the entire prison rattled with a brief but deafening explosion.
Dust and grit cascaded down around them. Astarionâs guard didnât yelp, but the other two did, and all of them waited in breathless silence for the braziers to stop trembling. The explosion had come from directly above the prisonâs main room, and Astarion could hear shouts and calls of worry over many pounding feet.
âWeâd betterââ one of the guards at the checkerboard said, and she and her partner rose and hurried through the far door to the stairsâafter unlocking it first, which Astarion found immensely satisfying. The guard at Astarionâs cell hesitated, glancing back and forth between Astarion and the door where theyâd disappeared; eventually the fear won, and he trotted with one hand on his cudgel to the base of the stairs and peered up after his comrades.
As effortless and choreographed as a dance. The moment the guardâs back was turned Astarion had the lock undone, even with Tavâs wretched half-diamond and bent tension wrench. In a trice he was out of the cell altogether, the dagger Tav had slipped him via the guardâs belt firm in his grip.
Sheâd understood his need for a blade, even with picks in hand. She knew better than most the difference between being loose and being free.
Another brazier winked out with a puff of smoke. Astarion spared a precious few seconds to relock the cell door behind himâif she could do it, so could he, and it would be hilarious besidesâand as he finished he felt Tavâs hand alight on the small of his back. He raised his arms for her to rebuckle his belt around his waist; in the same motion he returned her picks to their leather case and hooked the case itself to her hip. The beltâs leather tongue hissed as she drew it taut, and the returned weight of his sheathed knife was a comfort in itself.
The dagger he kept bare in his hand. For an instant his eyes fell on the guard still standing at the bottom of the stairs. The throw would be effortless, even in the dark. Simple. Clean. The smart thing to do, really.
But Tav wouldnât like it. He knew she wouldnât, as sure as he knew their next steps in this silent waltz, and with a grimace he turned away from the guard. She lifted her eyebrows again; he gestured impatiently, and she gave a slow, sweet smile before hooking a hand around his neck and pulling him down into a kiss.
Ah. An improvisation, and one Astarion enjoyed very much, even here. He sighed through his nose, the weight of the last few hours rolling away like the coins from a spilled purse, and he slid an arm around her waist. His own pack obstructed his way briefly, the straps far too long for her shorter frame, but she arched into his chest anyway with her habitual eagerness, and that was more than enough.
Gods. How easy it became to endure every trial the city might conjure up when he knew Tav would be waiting for him at the end of it.
âI have a confession, darling,â he breathed against her mouth. A second, much smaller explosion went off upstairs to a chorus of startled cries.
Tavâs eyes were bright with humor. âHm?â
âAs it happens, Iâd rather not do this without you.â
âMm,â she said, satisfaction thrumming through the sound, and she kissed him again.
Ah, but they were pushing their luck already. Despite every part of him yearning to cling to Tav until the prison came down around them, he released her when she pulled away, and when she led him by the hand back through the privy door he followed without complaint. She locked the door behind them; he broke the bolt in place. Heâd very much miss seeing the guardâs look of stupid shock, butâ
âHere,â Tav whispered in his ear. She slid aside a stone about the length of a finger, just wide enough for Astarion to peer through if he crouched a bit. âFound this about eight months ago.â
âThe gifts you give me, my dear,â he breathed, and he felt her vibrate with laughter against him. It took a little jostling, but they managed to find a position where they both could see, and they watched together as the guard at last came back around the pillar, glanced over, and paused with comic confusion at the sight of the empty cell.
âUh,â the man said aloud. He crossed to the cell door, jostled it, and then unlocked it with a key from his pocket. He stepped into the cell itself with a series of useless looks to the walls, the scattered straw, and inexplicably the ceiling, as if he expected to find Astarion clinging upside-down to the stone, then came out and stared helplessly at the empty room. âUh,â he said again, much higher, and then with obvious panic he quick-marched himself up the far stairs and out of sight.
Still laughing, Tav led Astarion back along the privy hall, past the privy itself, and then through a small broken grating about halfway up the wall. It was a tight squeeze for Astarion, though he made do by pinching Tavâs ankles every time she paused, and soon enough they stood on a small stone ledge overlooking a reasonably finished portion of the sewers. Another much larger grate to their right let in a considerable amount of afternoon sunlight, and Astarion stretched catlike in its warmth.
âAn acceptable rescue, I take it,â Tav said, watching him. That damnable smile still played over her mouth; Astarion wanted very badly to kiss it.
âA little lengthy, I thought,â he said instead, and settled for resting his fingers alongside her throat. âAnd it all involved me spending rather too much time with a very dull idiot. Though I suppose I canât really complain, seeing as I am, in fact, free once more. Here, darling, for you. Never let it be said you found me ungrateful.â
âWhatâs this?â
âOnly a small trifle,â he said, and watched with tremendous satisfaction as she opened the clinking bag.
âAstarion!â Her eyes lit with genuine delight, and she ran her fingers through the gold like water. âYou lifted this for me? Really?â
âEvery coin he had,â he said, and when she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek the satisfaction in his chest brimmed over into an ocean. âBesides, my dear, I suspect youâll need it. How much alchemistâs fire did you use, anyway? I thought the walls might come down around my ears.â
âEvery vial we had,â she admitted, and she gave him a proper, if woefully brief, kiss on the mouth. âI thought the first match hadnât taken, so I threw three more. Thank Gond the mortar held. Here, take back your pack. Itâs heavy.â
âAnd youâve all the strength of a damp tissue,â Astarion said, but he lifted the pack from her shoulders. A glimpse of something beneath the half-latched flap made him pause. âWhat have you done?â
âI thought you might want it back,â Tav said, the picture of perfect innocence. âSeeing as it started this whole mess in the first place.â
âYou ghastly thing,â Astarion said, fangs bared, and with a great deal of prejudice he slung the blasted sunmelon as deep into the sewers as he could. It bounced twice, then disappeared into a small algae-choked pond with a sploosh. âHow fortunate you have other charms.â
âYes,â Tav agreed, linking her fingers through his, and they climbed together from the sewers into the clean, sweet air of the sunlit afternoon.
â
end.

For the record, Astarion's melon incident is adapted from this series of in-game events.

Twilight- Mortality: Chapter Six, The Pack
(Alice X Reader X Jasper)
[Five] [Six] [Seven]
"How cool is this? Two-man pack. Two against the world." Seth bumps into Jacob and I laugh, noticing how annoyed Jacob is getting. "You're getting on my nerves, Seth."
"I'll shut up, can do." The boy nods his head, quieting down. We get to the house. Edward was already outside and I keep going towards the porch as Jacob and Seth stay near the tree-line. "Get ready. They're coming for Bella." Jake warns Edward who already read all of our thoughts. He was ready before we even got here. "They're not gonna touch her." My sister's husband states. "Agreed."
They end up staying in the woods as we get ourselves ready to fight Sam and his pack. I stay outside watching the tree line as Edward goes inside to talk to our family. I can feel myself getting too angry and I don't want to turn accidentally in front of my sister or anyone else. Accidentally hurt someone, wreck the house.
I hear wolves howling in the distance and I look up into the sky, taking a breath. Jacob is running my way. "C'mon." He motions towards the door and we both go inside the house.
"Sam's lost the element of surprise, and he doesn't want to take you on outnumbered, so he's not gonna come at you head on. He's got the place surrounded and he'll wait for his opportunity." Jacob explains to everyone. I cross my arms, disbelieving that Sam would actually try to kill MY sister. Kill anyone for that matter over a stupid treaty. "We won't get through without a fight." Edward tells him.
"No fights. We won't be the ones to break the treaty." Carlisle shakes his head. "The treaty is void, at least in Sam's mind." Jacob warns him. "Not in ours." Esme chimes in. "Carlisle no one's hunted for weeks." Emmett points out, I frown thinking about how the last time any of them hunted was before we went on that date and they got it into blood bags. "We'll make do." Esme assures the bigger man.
"You've done us a great service, Jacob. Thank you." Carlisle nods to the wolf who does the same thing back. I glance at him and he tilts his head and we go back outside together.
It was quiet between us at first until he broke the tension. "It's been a minute since we hung out." He forces out a chuckle and I huff. "Yeah, kind of forgot we were best friends as kids." I nudge him, we both lean against the porch fence. "Yeah you first got here and I was going to your Volleyball games... then it all stopped." He frowns, neither of us make eye contact. I truly haven't looked at him as a friend since I turned I think. I'm guessing he felt the same way. Being a wolf and his whole world must've changed.
"I turned and then became a hybrid... Now living a very strange... life." I roll my eyes, cracking my knuckles. "True, I'm sorry for how I treated you. In the beginning." He suddenly says. I look over to him. "Nah, nothing to be sorry about." I smile, he finally makes eye contact with me. "Cool, friends again or are we like Sam and your whole acquaintanceship." He jokes and I laugh.
"Friends again, you didn't be all obsessive... with me at least. My sister is a whole other story but she seems to keep you around for a reason." I tease him and he rolls his eyes this time.
After a few more moments he goes to Leah to talk to her. I figured I should go inside and attempt to talk to my girlfriend who's been avoiding me the past two weeks. Right now might not be the best moment but I can at least try.
That was until I overheard my sister tell Edward she's sorry. "I can't live without you." He tells her earnestly. "You won't. You're gonna have a part of me. He'll need you." She responds, not letting go of this baby that is obviously killing her. "Do you honestly think that I could love it or even tolerate it if it killed you?" He asks her, I frown knowing that almost all of us feel the same way. The baby wouldn't even be loved without her. "It's not his fault. You have to accept what it is." Bella says.
"Because you've given me no choice! Bella, we're supposed to be partners, remember? But you decided this on your own. You've decided to leave me." Edward passionately tells her. "Don't see it that way." She frowns.
"Well, I have no other way to see it. 'Cause it's me who'll lose you. And I don't choose that. I don't choose that." He then bumps into me on his way out. Before I can go into the room to talk to my sister he grabs my wrist. "Please. Try again. Please." His eyes lock with mine and I tense up. I glance to the ground. "You and I both know it's not possible, Edward." I shake my head, taking my wrist back before heading into the room.
My sister forces a smile onto her face when she sees me. "Hey, Bells." I attempt to force one back. "He's not happy with me." She jokes and I roll my eyes. "Only person that is, is Rosalie." I huff, sitting on a stool to be beside her. She closes her eyes and we sit there together. "Will you take care of him?" She finally speaks, looking over at me.
My eyes widen and I raise an eyebrow. "What?" I ask, confused. "Will you take care of him, I need to know when I go-" "If you go." I correct her before she can continue this conversation. I know it's possibly delusional but I refuse to believe after everything we've been through this kills her. And it feels like that one thought I had about vampire dick being the thing that killed her is right and it feels so stupid. I can't believe I thought it. "If I go," She starts again. "Please tell me you will take care of him." She grabs my hand, weakly.
"I need to know." She begins to tear up. I want to look away but this is my older sister. We've never had to be apart for longer than a month. I couldn't see myself living without her. We've protected one another, even if it was just emotionally. I place my other hand on hers that was already holding the one hand. "I will do anything for you." I tell her, a tear streaming down my cheek. "I will love him as my own, for you." I glance down to her stomach and wince when I have to look back to her face that was skinnier than I've ever seen.
My chest hurts seeing this. I want to rip this baby out of her, save her. But I know it's not what she wants. We have to respect her wishes. "Thank you." She whispers. "Mhm." I hum." My shoulders dropping.
"You should probably go find Alice." She says, I shrug, hesitantly agreeing. "I'll be back." I rub her hand before letting go and heading out of the room to somehow find the one person who's avoiding the crap out of me.
When I find her, she's in her room, watching outside of the window and I quietly go up to her. "Al." I mumble, she jumps, stepping away from me. "Oh, it's you." She frowns, looking back outside, picking up an annoyed expression all ready.
"Don't sound too happy." We both sit down next to one another. "Why are you avoiding me?" I look out the window with her. I steal glances at her but she doesn't even look my way. "I don't understand why you would let something kill your sister." She says. "I don't have a choice, Alice." I want to get angry but I stay patient with her. "You do, though. If we try enough-"
"Alice, stop." I stand up. "Please, we can't go against her. She's set, there's nothing we can do. And if these are her last days I'm going to say and do everything she wants me to. This is my sister, Alice. Mine. I know her more than any of you." My chest begins to rapidly go up and down. "You think I want her dead? You think this isn't killing me? You think you being mad at me helps my choice?" I question her, tears flooding my eyes. It makes me feel weak but I can't help it.
"I love you, I would like for you to understand my choices." I want to scream at her but I'd rather not have the whole house clearly hear this conversation. "I... I'm sorry, [Name]." She stands up with me, grabbing on my shoulder gently until I wrap my arms around her and she squeezes me back. "I'm angry, I don't know why she would let this happen." She whispers in my ear.
"I don't know either." I sigh, I then begin to feel uncomfortable due to the fact that I have to slightly bend over to hug her.
I think she feels my uncomfortableness and she lets me go. Letting me do the same. "I love you [Name], I need to show it more." She stands on her tip toes and pecks my lips. I smile softly. "I love you too, I think you do just fine." I say.
We go downstairs together. I wonder where Jasper is but I know we'll see him later.
"We need to find a way to get some food into her system." Esme tells us as we all sit together after Bella had just gotten sick again. "If I could only see the fetus." Alice mutters. "The baby." Rosalie corrects but Alice ignores her. "Maybe I could figure out what it wants." She says, trying to focus on some sort of vision but nothing comes to her. I rub a hand up and down her back.
"Think you might be right." Edward says to the wolf in the room. "Jacob just had an idea." He announces to us. "It wasn't an idea. It was a snide comment." Jake rolls his eyes.
"What were you thinking?" Bella attempts to sit up straighter. "That it's probably just looking for someone to sink its teeth into." He states with a little huff. My hand doesn't leave Alice's back as I sit there in shock. "He's thirsty." Bella rubs her stomach. My nose scrunches slightly in disgust as this is supposed to be seen as normal. "I know the feeling. If it's craving, it's not gonna want animal blood." Edward says as if none of us in this house except Bella and Jacob have craved human blood.
"I have some O negative laid aside for Bella. Walk with me." Carlisle leads Jacob and Edward out of the room.
"Love, I'm going to go find Jas. We'll be back." She plants a kiss on my cheek before exiting the room. Rosalie was getting something ready for Bella as I sat there thinking about what's going to happen next. My human sister, drinking another human's blood. It feels hypocritical given our circumstances but it weirds me out.
Carlisle comes back with a cup of blood. "Wait, wait, wait. You're gonna make her drink that?" Jacob questions.
"It's the fastest way to test the theory." The eldest vampire tells him, handing the cup over. "Only if you're comfortable with it." Edward goes to stop her. She glances over to me and I smile awkwardly. "I'll try anything." She looks back to the cup. "I think I'm gonna be sick." Jacob holds his own stomach, wanting to look away as we watch my sister drink the blood.
"Tastes... good." Bella then drinks more of it. I don't personally think we needed to know it tasted good but hey... what ever.
Carlisle checks her pulse. I can tell just by standing here it was better than before. "Your pulse is already getting stronger." He says.
"it's working." Esme grins.
Bella had talked to Charlie over the phone and I could feel my own heart breaking all over again. Having to leave our dad, our parents even in the dark about everything we have to go through and they think we're okay.
After she hung up the phone, Edward entered the room and his facial expression made me leave. I go to the kitchen where Jacob, Carlisle and Esme were already standing. "So, that's the last of it?" Jake asks the couple. "Bella could deliver as early as tomorrow. If she's going to have any chance at all, she'll need more blood." Carlisle explains.
"And you need to feed. You have to be at your strongest for her. We need to go tonight." Esme speaks up, I cross my arms, silently agreeing with them.
"Carlisle, you're the enemy now. Sam won't hesitate. You will be slaughtered." Jacob warns him as he's already done a few times. "Emmett will come with us." Esme says. "That won't be enough." Jacob shakes his head. "I'll come." I raise my hand a little bit.
"I'll make it enough." I shrug my shoulders. Carlisle sighs, not arguing even though he wants to. Jacob looks at me, slightly indifferent but doesn't push anything either. "You'd risk your lives for her?" Jacob turns back to the older vampire couple. "Of course we would. Bella and [Name] are a part of our family now." Esme smiles softly, walking over to me to place a hand on my arm. I offer a smile in response.
"Yeah. I can see that. This really is a family. As strong as the one I was born into. I know what I have to do." He leaves the room, leaving us with nothing else.
I close my eyes wanting to go after him but knowing I should stay. "I don't want you to use your ability unless absolutely necessary." Carlisle suddenly tells me and I furrow my eyebrows.
"What do you mean? I should start using it as soon as possible killing off all their energy. So no one gets hurt at all." I argue with his sentence. He stays quiet for a moment. And as he goes to speak again I cut him off. "Carlisle as much as I want to rip Sam apart I am not going to. I couldn't live with that. I'm going to make them weak that's for sure." I continue, feeling defensive for some reason and I don't know why.
"I didn't know if you could control your anger. That's why I said that. I apologize as I didn't understand you already had a plan." He gets closer to me and I nod my head.
"It's okay. I get it. I have to control my anger though. We don't know what I'm fully capable of." I frown.
"You're capable of many things but I'm proud of you for being so resilient. Learning and growing." He tells me in a sweeter tone. I smile, giving him a hug.

Castor how do we. How do we convince everyone in the whole wide world that Ivan isn't a masochistic individual that only wishes to gratify himself. How do we convince everyone that he wasn't trying to kill Till in round 6. How do we convince everyone that he didn't want to do anything to Till in that casino-karaoke-bar and was just trying to comfort Till and himself from what they just had to gone through. How do we convince everyone that Ivan is actually just very mentally ill and has trouble when it comes to interacting others and Till
Good anaylsis posts btw
*cracks knuckles* you came to the right place, fellow ivan understander. that's honestly the main reason i make my analysis posts, to try to express the humanity in ivan. because he is an incredibly written character and all of those mischaracterizations you're describing are so far from the truth it hurts.
at a base level, thereâs a whole thing to be said about the way people treat/view mentally ill individuals (especially those with stigmatized disorders) that plays into this (ivan has undesirable traits due to mental illness that many just decide to write off as him âbeing a freakâ and romanticizing/sexualizing it instead of trying to understand) but i wonât get it into that here
i think the thing with ivan is that because he can't experience emotion or express himself in conventional or "normal" ways, it takes proper reading into (cough. media literacy) to understand his character. you can't just watch the content and immediately get his motivations and personality, it takes multiple watch throughs, knowledge of the extra content, and taking his past into consideration to get a clearer picture.
this is true for every alnst character and video ofc, but the reason it's such a big thing for ivan is because his outward personality post meteor shower incident is a fabrication. the entire point of us getting glimpses into ivan's mind is so that we can see that he ISN'T what he portrays himself as. and this goes for more than just his charismatic personality- it goes for the unusual ways he expresses himself.
we see ivan as a contradiction. we see both the 'perfect' person he wants people to see and the extremely flawed person he sees himself as. neither are completely accurate. ivan's view of himself is so skewed it's unreliable. the only way to truly understand him is to put the work in to find out why.
this isn't exactly an answer to your question/plea, but i've been asking myself the same thing for months. ivan is a really complicated character, more complicated than most people care to fully dig into. in fanon (from what i've seen) he seems to fall into two categories: the persona he puts on, and an "obsessive insane freak". both are very baseline things we see, because that's how ivan sees himself. fake on the outside and a 'shitty' person on the inside.
to me, the point of ivan's character is to look past both of those. to question them and his actions, to wonder what his motivations are. once you get to the point of "oh wow, this was all either for the purpose of survival or because he literally has no idea how to interact with people", things become a lot clearer. we just have to hope people can make the effort to read into things, i guess.
(thank you! great ask, i've been rotating it around in my head for like an hour lmao)
#the short answer is hope that people develop media literacy /lh#ivan is the nd character ever and tbh it's disappointing how mischaracterized he is despite still being widely labeled as autistic#alnst ivan#alien stage#alnst meta#alnst#cast chats#geospiral#ask
