"You're going to get us killed." - Interaction Rewrite Prompts!
For Leonard, the weight of a child's blood upon his weapon was heavier than anything else he had handled before in his lifetime.
He hadn't the honour to have even called it the first, but different from his brothers, who had found their end directly by the blades of the Empire, there was no hope for the blame of responsibility to be lifted off his shoulders now that he had wielded that same blade himself.
Leonard's breathing was panicked and uneven. A cold sweat ran down his back as the sensation of the light body being flung backwards shot once more through his arms - he felt ill. Had he died? Had he done away with his life in that forest and been sentenced to hell? Perhaps it was all a punishment, an eternity spent in war, ending the lives of children just as he had his brothers. The screams had sounded too familiar for comfort.
He couldn't, couldn't bring himself to fight. The stakes didn't come to him. The seal didn't exist to him. The usually tranquil forest had roared with the sounds of the clashing steel, the hurried footsteps, the cries and mockery of the faerie - something like the dragon's voice had called his name in harsh rebuke, and whether it truly was her or Caim, Leonard didn't understand and stumbled blindly back to the garrisons in a piteous attempt to flee.
Too cowardly to die, and too starved to survive.
All that was clear to him against the roar of noise was his own breathing, the feeling of his heart pounding in its chest, and the crushing weight of the guilt from that thought repeating itself in his head like a mantra. Leonard struggled to break out of it - do or say something that could stop this madness. Anything. A sickened cry sounded at the sound of the mercenary's own cold reproach, and the hermit struggled to respond.
"Caim, please...!"
He had tried to utter words, either protest or a plea, but his throat had grown tight and left only a quiet whimper. Was that all he could do? Beg...? Leonard's weapon trembled in his hands. He was truly weak... He could have done more than beg. Just like his brothers, there was a thought that told him that he could have saved them. But, it was all the same. His family murdered for the sake of shameful pleasure. The blood of children spilled only for his own protection - his own cowardice to even die correctly. All for himself, a pathetic existence unable to even lift a finger against the slaughter of children.
Some wretched noise, a ragged fight for strained breath against the pounding heart in his chest, could be heard against the armoured thumps of bodies against the ground. Even from a distance, Leonard's frozen body could be seen trembling uncontrollably. The polearm dangled limply from his hands.
"They are only mere children...!"
The last uttered words before the hermit collapsed to his knees were a heart-wrenching sob.
Not a voice of disgust, but a cry in horror.

Dos Vaqueros|Late bloomer| Alerudy
Unlike Alejandro, Rodolfo took a little longer to "blossom"⊠In every sense.
"Honestly, I miss your round face, brother."
"Ugh, you're too sweet sometimes, Alejandro."
Alejandro grins, stretched out on a hard chair that should have been replaced by now, but all hands do not reach. Rodolfo rustles the folders in his desk, looking for something. A monotonous street hum pours out of the window
"I'll say my thanks to Auntie Parra, she turned out to have a pretty son."
Rodolfo freezes for a second, straightens up, rests his palms on the table and turns his head towards his colleague
"What was that about?" Rodolfo grumbles, arching his eyebrows expressively. Alejandro snorts at this and gets up from his chair, stepping closer to the sergeant major, puts one palm on the table in front of them, and puts the other on Rodolfo's lower back, diving under the dark fabric of a loose tee, tracing circles on the skin with his fingers. Rodolfo feels goosebumps running down his arms and squints at the grinning Alejandro, who has buried his forehead in his shoulder.
"I was fat, boring and afraid of everyone and everything." Rodolfo mutters, trying not to move at all, Alejandro hums low at his words, pushing his forearm with his forehead.
"You were kind, helpful and honest with yourself and with others. Our childhood memories are a bit different"
Rodolfo snorts softly with a light, warm half-smile on his lips, turning in the hands of his colonel, the hand on his coccyx naturally slides to the side, tickling the skin with the pads of his fingers.
"And then, two years later than the others, your voice changed, your cheeks retracted and thar cute baby chubbyness disappeared. If you and I hadn't lived so close, I definitely wouldn't have recognized you." âAlejandro continues to wander through the labyrinths of his own memories. "Only your gaze stayed the same, but it has been with you since you were ten years old."
Rodolfo nods slightly and reaches closer, Alejandro does not interfere, only bends his neck to the side so that Rodolfo has somewhere to hide his slowly blushing face.
"Tell me something I don't know about." Rodolfo grinned at the proffered shoulder.
"Well, I'm sure you haven't been able to learn how to kiss properly since I dragged you to that brothel."
Rodolfo pulls away from his neck and looks at the slyly narrowed face.
"Do you want to check it out?" Rodolfo laughs, ruffling Alejandro's curles, as he rested his head on Rudy's shoulder.
"Do you have something to surprise me with?" Alejandro looked up at him, there are sparks of some very cunning plan in them. Rodolfo shakes his head, leans closer and presses his forehead to Alejandro's, squinting once again.
"Don't take me lightly, it never ended well."
"You're thinking it over, Sergeant," Alejandro retorts. "I didn't say anything like that."
Rodolfo sighs heavily as Alejandro moves a little, now pressing his temples and cheeks together. Rodolfo's hand snakes up onto the back of colonel's neck, a moment before they hear the sound of approaching footsteps in the hallway. They bounce off each other as if scalded, Rodolfo jumps to the window and freezes in this position, his red cheeks will not be visible from the entrance. Alejandro hisses, stumbles, swears, bangs his knee on the table but takes his place on the chair. Corporal Ramirez rushes into the room.
"Diego, what the fuck, why don't you knock?" Alejandro hisses at him, Rodolfo suppresses laughter, slightly twitching his shoulders.

Infidel | Johan liebert x Reader
Chapter 2
A/n : I literally forgot to post this last night so here it itâs đ
"Apologies for my late arrival, sir." You sigh, hurriedly rushing to your seat near the window. "No need for apologies. The professor states, raising his hands in defence. "I understand your father struggling to get cases over and done with so they're practically getting anyone these days to achieve that." He laughs, taking a swig from the old and bitter cup of coffee.
Old and bitter...sounds quite familiar.
You slyly raise a brow at his remark yet nonetheless sat down, placing your folder out on the dainty small coffee table in front of you.
"So down to business. I understand someone you were in contact with recently passed due to suspicious circumstances, correct ?" You ask, flipping through the folder. "Well yes I-
The man suddenly stops, his breath hitched as he stares down at the photographs before him. You slowly raise your head, not understanding what caused his sudden distraction.
There laid a photograph of a man being victim to a acid attack. Fragments of the skull exposed with parts of the flesh starting to rot along with somehow the eye still being intake despite the eye socket lolling to the side of the blood covered skin.
"This isn't too much for you is it ?"
"I've been doing this for a few months now, sir. I'm wise now to know not to have porridge before examining evidence photographs." You shrug, flipping through the photographs.
"Ah ! Here." You stop, pointing to a photograph of the victim associated with this particular case.
"Do you see the little marks here around the eyes ?" You ask, pointing to around the eyes "Those are clearly marks left from finger nails digging into the skin." You sigh, taking an exhausted breath.
"Seeing how deep they are and how short and curved they seem, I would suggest it being someone who looks after themselves well, meaning manicures regularly, assuming it's a woman maybe."
You suggest, staring out the photograph carefully. Despite acknowledging the quiet man sat across from you, you couldn't notice the man sat in shock at just how quickly you could come up with an answer to the questions other detective would struggle to answer. But then again...he didn't even have a chance to ask you about the man as you had already dived in . The man couldn't help but to wonder was it due to your intelligence or rather your interest in finishing the case and leaving as soon as possible.
"It's definitely not his of course." You continue.
"So to that I say he probably attacked said woman and in self defence she tried to scratch his eyes out and failed but she isn't responsible for his death." You state, shaking your head.
"If you look closely you see around the lower collar the skin has marks left of a rope-
"So he was strangled to death ?" The man inquires.
"Ha ! No !" You suddenly exclaim.
Oh how you love the sudden look of confusion on a persons face.
"Do you really believe a young girl with dainty fingernails could take out a man with a fat neck like him ?"
.
When you found yourself returning to your disdained and somewhat falling apart apartment you couldn't help but feel slightly gutted. You understood rather early on in this unwanted job that men long in or out of the career would rather slice a finger off than to admit a woman was right.
Despite having all the evidence to suggest the cause of the cause. You were shot down like a rabid dog and left with "interesting inquiry, y/n. Now let the rightful people deal with this."
Men.
"Ah !" You groan, reaching up to rub your temple. You manage to throw your belongings down onto the lonesome couch before practically climbing over rubbish that laid on the carpet. Clean it later.
You can't help but sigh as you crouch down to the height of the small kitchen fridge. Peeling off the sticky note from the fridge that states "CALL ME ! - FATHER"
Yeah right. Do your dismay and disgust the fridge was almost empty besides the-
"Holy shit that's gone off !" You cry, pinching your nose in horror as you practically run to the sink to throw out the expired milk. "I need a bath." You moan, stretching your tight arms as you head down the minor corridor.
.
They say that baths are suppose to be a calming experience to not only relax the body but also the mind. What bullshit.
Your brows furrow as you stare up at the ceiling. The dull light keeps flickering every few minutes and making a buzzing noise.
Ah the noise. Your tongue clicks in irritation as your head lols to the side, your eyes catching a glimpse of a opened folder. A case.
You couldn't really recall every making a decision so fast. You step out the tub, feet touching the awfully cold tiles, grabbing a towel before heading down to your bedroom. But not before grabbing the file along with you. Your wet fingertips smudging the papers.
.
"Usual ?" The bartender asks as he cleans off a glass. "Yeah." You state, sparing him a quick glance. You don't recognise the man, however you lack care as you already start to flick through the folder.
Your hand reaches up to place your hair behind your ear. You could feel that your hair was slightly damp.
You rub your temples in hope of soothing the aching headache. Yet to no avail.
The lights, aw the lights gleamed as bright full as always. The sound of chitter chatter filled the wholesome pub as those gathered together in harmony.
However that dreadful heavy buzz and the ringing in your ear never went.
But then it stopped. As soon as your ears picked up the daunting sound of the stool beside scratching against the floor as someone sat down. Slowly but surely, raising your tired eyes they momentarily widen at the intimate sight. Unsmiling blue eyes met your bewildered eyes and suddenly you feel the strong urge to look away yet your curious eyes betray you.

Hey guys I wanna post a little update now that things are a little more in motion
I'm sorry I haven't been as prolific with the recolors as I used to be. I honestly burnt myself completely out on the sims when I realized all I was doing was downloading cc that just bloated my drive and I just... never use it. I'm going through a folder refresh at the moment getting rid of a lot of the bloat but it's a Process and I get tired of it easily.
In other news I went back to playing WoW with some friends and I've been really enjoying that lately, plus I'm still playing Fallout 76, so I just don't really find the time to dive into sims, photoshop, s4s blender etc.
That said, I do still have plans of things I'm working on, lots of wips I need to wrap up and push out, including some hair conversions I'd been working on before burnout but i'm not forcing myself to finish them quickly. Mostly because:
The biggest piece of news is that I started training in a new job this week. It's going to ultimately be a remote support position for a tech company, but until the end of December I'm getting up at 6am to go in for training and if you know me... *internal screaming*
Again I wanna apologize for being so... not here. I'm just spinning a lot of plates.
Oh I also took in an elderly (17 year old) cat named Tiffany who is the neediest creature in existence lmao kay bye

Another Word For Surveillance - Part Eleven
SWEETS
Thereâs an open invitation from Steve to run every morning with him around the compound. The most athletic employees, typically ex-military, SHIELD-type individuals joined him a few days a week but never more than an hour per day. The only person who could keep up with Steveâs pace and grueling exercise schedule was Bucky, but even he refused to run everyday. He wouldnât tell Steve why either.Â
You knew better than to bug him - itâs his time after all.
Still, when you wanted to know if Bucky was in the compound, youâd keep an eye on the intersection of Grids 2 and 3, wait for a golden flash to zoom through the path in the morning, and see if thatâs followed by dark hair waving wildly in the wind.
And thatâs exactly what you did the morning after getting pizza with Bucky.Â
You stood by the window next to his old work desk. Coffee in one hand and banana in the other, mentally going through what happened - or because of your overthinking, what did not happen - last night.
You regretted not trying harder to promote your apartment facilities to Bucky last night. You had a functioning coffee maker. A clean shower. A drawer dedicated to KitKats. And if all those things failed, you could have appealed to the gentleman in him and brought up the wobbly shelf - would he be so kind and take a look at it please?
Not that you expected him to make the first move.
And itâs not like you subscribed to a timeline of when you would be ready to try again with him.
You didnât even need a grand gesture from him.
You just wanted Bucky Barnes in your life.
How could something that was so clear also seem so confusing at the same time?
Sam caught your attention as he sprinted across the field leading to the back of the compound, his shadow crossing with the lines formed by posts that lined the path. If the security manual was to be believed, a 360-degree camera mounted on each post monitored all visitors - official and unwelcome - from the moment they stepped into Grid Five.
Seconds later, Steve, probably finishing his third lap, caught up with Sam. You stood with your back straight, breathing temporarily halted, finger impatiently tapping the cup and willed a third runner to whiz by.
A full minute passed without any sign of Bucky.Â
He wasnât at the hangar either, and the grounds-keeping crew told you itâs unlikely that heâs whacking weeds into submission today because he accomplished all that last week.
âHave you tried texting him?â someone asked pointedly, to which you replied, âNo, itâs not urgent,â with what you hoped was a carefree wave.Â
As you walked back to your building, you tried to shake off the embarrassment. Of course you couldâve told him youâve been up all night thinking, and ask him to drop by your floor. Today, if he had time. No big deal.
That text remained in the drafts folder in your head.
Over lunch, you contemplated marching over to the Avenger residence grid and just keep walking until one of Tonyâs tiny drones shot you down. You were a little hazy on the security features of the compoundâs private area. Itâs not like you had a lot of reasons to trespass before.
Your phone dinged and Claire snorted when you practically dived to check who sent you a message.
âSam says youâve been stalking me.â
You huffed because Bucky would be correct about that.
âBusy? Need to ask you something.â He didnât wait for a response. He forwarded a meeting invitation titled âHangarâ - no punctuation, no explanation in the email body.
You huffed again. Were you supposed to guess which hangar in this acre upon acre of a compound he was referring to?
Itâs not like you didnât know what he meant. And you werenât going to pretend having that knowledge didnât make you smile ear-to-ear. But if itâs a last-minute invite to a session with R&D or aircraft maintenance, couldnât he at least add a salutation or something?
Sometimes these 30-minute meetings turned out to be two-hour operational reviews so you wanted to come prepared. Armed with a bag of mini-chocolate bars, you trooped to the hangar section, looking forward to a new project and a Bucky-sighting. Â
But it was Steve you found pacing in the room. His sleeves were pushed - not rolled - pushed up his arms, which probably meant heâd been in meetings today. Judging by the starched shirt and tired smile he flashed upon seeing you, it wasnât just some meeting with four-star generals or state officials who had Nick Furyâs number on speed dial.
âCome in,â he waved you to the only seat with a cushioned back.
âUh, hi.â You glanced around the empty room. It felt smaller somehow. âHow are you?â
He thought about the question. âOld.â
âMentally or like the arthritis flares up-â
âBucky and Sam are planning something for my birthday.â His eyes lit up. âHelp me find out what theyâre up to.â Â
âOh uh-â
âSurely you have strings you can pull around here.â His brows furrowed. âSeriously. They refuse to acknowledge that no fuss means no fuss.â
Before you could reply, the door burst open, revealing Bucky. His eyes met yours for a fleeting second before moving on to Steve. âGood. We can start.âÂ
The men grabbed the remaining wooden chairs. On your right, Bucky offered a tight smile, which turned into a wince upon taking a seat. Thatâs when you also noticed the pink cheeks and messy bun.
âThanks for joining us pal,â Steve drily said, though he eyed Bucky with mild curiosity too.
Bucky shifted his weight slowly. He gestured to the bag of chocolate in the middle of the table. âItâs not an R&D meeting,â he said as if that helped clarify why youâve been summoned to a tiny windowless room with Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes. âMay I?â
You nodded idly and watched as Bucky fished a bar for himself before tossing one to his best friend.
Steve caught the foil-wrapped candy before it hit him between the forehead. âI take it Natasha took the news well.âÂ
Bucky grunted as he stretched his neck.
Steve chuckled. âAs well as we can hope for at least.â
âDo you know how high the voltage on those things go?â Bucky flicked a mini-bar, hitting Steveâs chin.
The chocolate missile was ignored. âEverybody knows the bracelets have been upgraded.â
Bucky replied in rapid-fire Russian and his frustration, the narrowed eyes, and stubborn tendril on his jaw, it was all sorts of hot but you werenât sure if it was ok to laugh about Natasha Romanoff setting electroshock charges on Buckyâs plums.Â
Your failed attempt at muffling a snicker shifted the focus back to the meeting agenda.
With a rather authoritative sigh, Steve flipped his laptop to show you a blurry image. âYouâre familiar?â
It was a rhetorical question. You didnât even have to lean for a closer look at the 640px by 400px image.
Itâs a crime scene photo from a 2017 assassination in Tbilisi, Georgia - the case Natasha asked you to look into. Off the books because the US government didnât believe it was relevant to its interests in the region. Natasha saved the case files in an air-gapped computer off-base. You didnât even dare keep back-up copies with you.
It was nearly impossible not to start blabbing when the two looked at you with kind eyes, respecting your loyalty to Natasha.
Steve tilted his head. âWe already know you and Nat were looking into these four attacks.âÂ
âThree,â you muttered without thinking.
âNew confirmed attack. Two days ago, we believe,â he showed you another graphic photo.
The hairs on your arm rose but you didnât look away from the image. âUS soil?â Youâd bet thatâs enough to scare the government into asking Steve Rogers for yet another favor.Â
No one spoke. Nobody moved. One could say both men pretended in unison you werenât asking for classified information.
âWhoâs âweâ?â You tried again, turning toward the string you could pull.
The sound of metal gears humming gave Bucky away. His crossed arms didnât do much to mask his distress. His signature âanywhere but hereâ expression appeared. Like heâd rather be at a black tie event shaking hands with strangers who stared at his arm a little too long than be having this conversation with you right now.
Steve began circling the room. âYou were on the right track, you know. About looking at the victimsâ profiles instead of the cause of death. If we had you on the field-âÂ
âSteve.â
The soldiers glared at each other. Their twin telepathy always amazed you, although today there were more pressing matters to focus on.
âWhat does this have to do with Bucky getting the special treatment from Nat?âÂ
Five more seconds of staring determined who would finally take your question.
âThis became an official mission yesterday. Locate and detain. Ideally.â Bucky spoke calmly, as if the alternative involved sending a person to a spa in the alps.
It felt like you were still missing something. âBut she supercharged the shockers. For you.â
âDoesnât matter-â
âBuckâs taking the case from Nat,â Steve clarified, clicking on another icon to show you the mission report.
âWhy?â Did that come off a little pitchy? Nat has been working the case on her own time for at least two years before she brought you in months ago. âNo offense,â you added with an apologetic shrug.Â
Bucky sat up, placing his palms on the table to balance himself. âFor the record, I didnât take anything. The government, who was glad to remind me about being pardoned, assigned the case to me,â he added pointedly.
With broad, squared shoulders, he addressed you the way a tired school principal reasons with a first-time delinquent. âYouâve been working this with Romanoff for months and I completely understand if you prefer to be assigned to her missions.â He maintained a steady tone but itâs always the mechanical twitch - subtle, but you caught the squeak - that gave him away.Â
Your jaw dropped. âYouâre kicking me out too.â The realization sent your heart pounding, and the disbelief that followed did nothing to calm you down.
Before either man had a chance to reply, you looked at the ceiling and tried to take a deep breath. âWhy? Did I miss something in the intel - which isnât that great to begin with, just wanted to point it out. Did I set off any alarms?â
You were careful. Natasha drilled that into your unconscious.
âNo,â Bucky frowned. âWhat sort of alarms would you even be setting off anyway?â He asked after a beat, the concern saturating the blue in his eyes, thereby weakening your indignation.
âNone.â Itâs an oversimplification, but you were trying to keep your spot in the project. âSo your first decision after taking over was to take me off the op?â You turned to his friend as if to say âCan you believe this BS?â
Steve completed another slow lap around the table. âFor the record, I wanted you to stay.â
Bucky rolled his eyes. âFour professional hits in a span of five years. More violent. Higher up the food chain. Closer to home. You drafted the brief. You know how sticky this is going to get.â
You sat up. âThen donât put me on a different assignment.â
Steve gave you a helpless shrug. It wasnât his call.Â
Bucky remained quiet.Â
You glanced at the door. You could take the candy and walk out. Itâs not like staying in the room to glower at Bucky would change his mind.Â
Something clicked as you fumed in silence. Was this why he took you out to dinner? Was this why he didnât want to step inside your apartment?
âSweets.â His voice remained steady, compared to your escalating mood. âYou know why,â Bucky insisted. He craned his neck, imploring eyes trained on you.Â
Avoiding his eyes in this small room - which was really more of a large supply closet - was next to impossible.Â
You frowned. You may not be able to ignore that look but that didnât mean you had to say everything was peachy.
He waited for a few more seconds. âIâm politely kicking you out of the room Steve.â Bucky spoke without taking his eyes off you.Â
With only three feet separating you, the intensity transmitted clearly.Â
Steve was about to protest but Bucky added a âThank you!â and that was that. He waited for the telltale metallic click of the door shutting before speaking again.Â
âIâm sorry.â His voice dropped, even if you already had privacy. He placed an open hand next to your fist. âAre you mad at me?â
Pretending to be late for another meeting would be the easy way out of this.Â
Or you could stay and talk to him. Stay - you wondered if it was possible to choke on your own feelings - and just be in the moment. Werenât you looking forward to one-on-one time with Bucky the entire day?
Bucky seemed worried but also relieved you hadnât stormed off yet or confiscated all the candy.
âI donât like this,â you clarified.Â
âIâm sorry.â
âPlease stop saying sorry.â You knew he meant it, but letting you work on the case was an entirely different issue.
He nodded and took a deep breath. âI understand.â
Against your better judgment, you glanced at those round blue-gray eyes again.Â
Bucky took that as a sign to proceed. âYou just turned down an asshole dangling a cushy senior role in D.C. over your head yesterday. Today some better-looking asshole got you reassigned-â
âHmmm - âkicked outâ is more accurate.â
âReassigned to another op.â He bit his lip to hide a grin because you were letting him get away with the compliment about his looks.Â
Being able to make him smile like that was probably the closest thing youâll have that could count as an enhanced ability. The idea made you giddy as fuck.
Bucky waited for your counter. When you remained silent, he gently prodded your foot with his. âThought Iâm supposed to be the quiet and mysterious one.â
âYou think Iâm mysterious?â
He laughed. âSometimes I wish I knew what you were thinking,â he confessed with a shake of his head. A lock of hair landed on the high point of his cheek. Bucky finished three pieces of chocolate before you spoke again.Â
âIâm not used to this. And I donât want to be difficult Bucky. But part of me doesnât want to let go. Part of me wants to fake having another meeting to go to so I can run away.â
You hoped honesty would change his mind. With a deep breath, you looked him in the eye. âIâd like to stay in this. See this through for Nat.â
He didnât even blink. âCanât do that.â
You crossed your arms. âCanât or wonât?â
When he gave you a measured look, your heart sank. He wasnât budging.Â
âWonât.â He didnât look pleased but he wasnât exactly dripping with remorse either.
Why the hell did Steve think you had a string to pull here again?
âIs it a safety issue or⊠we share a pizza that I didnât have to nuke ten times and suddenly weâre not supposed to work together?â Your neck felt warm. âAre you worried about HR policy or - I donât know. You couldnât even wait to leave my building last night.â
Realization flashed through his eyes but Bucky didnât immediately respond. He let you simmer for a few seconds.
âWhoever we are looking for - this asset is a highly-skilled, very unstable maniac. You know this. You wrote the profile.â Bucky retracted his arms when he leaned back on his chair. It squeaked under the weight of the tall super soldier. âIâm not often in a position to make these kinds of calls, but if kicking you out of the op keeps you away from this psychopath, Iâm making the same choice every time.â
When a former prisoner of war who was tortured and subjected to mind control for years brings up his ability to choose, thereâs no arguing against that. Despite the obvious appeal to your emotion, you couldnât deny he made a valid point.
âI donât like this.â
âYou donât have to.âÂ
âNow I understand why Sam whines when he has to take orders from you.â
He smiled. âBecause I make the right calls.â
âBut Buck-â
In one fluid motion, Bucky crouched next to you. With his face only inches from yours, you could see the fine lines on an otherwise youthful face, a reminder of all the history Bucky carried on his shoulders. His stubble carved a tense jaw. But his eyes were kind. Even when you were giving him quite the headache right now.Â
He took your hand. âI promised you Iâll make things right. I swear to God thatâs all Iâve been up to. And if you tell me you donât know what the fuck Iâve been doing, Sweets, thatâs going to end me.â
He stroked your tingling skin with a thumb. âAnd I need you to let me keep doing that. BecauseâŠâ He exhaled, his warm hand cradling yours. âI hope one day youâll believe me when I say youâre all I think about.â
Itâs definitely possible to choke on your emotions.Â
âAnd looking out for you is a pretty big part of that,â he added.
Bucky watched you closely and he was generous enough not to gloat when your resolve to be stubborn, to make this difficult as payback for being sidelined, to have the last word, crumbled.
When you reached for his cheek, Bucky leaned into your palm immediately like a man under a spell. âI think-â
âYeah-â Your lips grazed his forehead and that caring gesture gave way to the hunger you were both suffering from.Â
His eyes bored into yours just as Buckyâs lips pressed into yours firmly, seeking to be as close as possible to you. Bucky pulled you up, backing against the table. His weight pushed the slim desk against the wall, dragging a chair with it as it slammed into concrete.Â
Buckyâs eyes dazzled below furrowed brows. âIs this - I mean, I thought-â
You were drunk from his kiss. âIâm ok. Are you ok?â
He nodded frantically.Â
You let gravity do the work, leaning into Buckyâs space. He didnât just meet you halfway - his lips crashed into yours this time.Â
When you ran your fingers through his hair and dragged your nails gently down his nape, Bucky responded with a groan and nipped at your collarbone before soothing your skin with his tongue.Â
A hand warmed the small of your back. Bucky mumbled feverishly onto your temple. You couldnât make out any of the words but you understood him.
With his arms wrapped around your body, Bucky held you steady. His kisses lingered, like he needed to keep tasting your lips. You barely had time to catch your breath before Buckyâs mouth claimed yours again.Â
He brushed the hair off your face as his eyes took you in, mapping your features with care.Â
âIs now a good time for an appeal?â You joked before kissing his throat.
Bucky bared his neck with a low moan. âSweets,â he begged.Â
You couldnât get enough of his scent. It reminded you of riding his bike with your arms curled around him, his steady breathing bringing you so much comfort.
âMaybe?â You teased right before trailing kisses along his jaw.Â
He kneaded your skin, hands locking your hips into him. âI think you should ah, you know, keep trying,â Bucky whispered thickly.
âOk, I think-âÂ
He stole the rest of your words, your stream of thought, with another hungry kiss.Â

songfic tag game!
Thank you @lamortwrites for the tag!
tagging: @fenharael @wraith-caller @no-braincells-inc @nnairdav if you feel like playing! If you want to join in, go ahead and tag me :)
Pick a song to accompany each of your fics or as many as you like. This might be the fic's inspiration or just pure vibes that you'd like to share with readers. Tag as many people as fics you feature (or do as you please!)
took me a moment to get to this, but it's been on my mind since you tagged me! while I've only publically posted one of my fics, I've still got several in my WIPs folder that I'm polishing up to post one of these days. I love finding a new song, listening to it on repeat, and diving into an hours long writing spiral.
The Night House (bg3, gortash/durge, explicit, dominate person/throat fingering/blood pacts, m/m, 4.9k)
title: Paranoic Intervals/Body Dysmorphia by Of Montreal
Counting wolves in your paranoiac intervals
Nobody's leaving, nobody is off the beat
You shouldn't try to unpeel my Pavlovian bells
You should be fucking with no one else
Anyone but me is an antipathy
Anyone but me is just your enemy
Only I see you the way you want to see yourself
You should be fucking with no one else
[bonus song]
title: Up To No Good by The Hoosiers
Don't get too comfortable with the man who has no history
Shadows climbing walls hide cracks we don't want other eyes to see
You tell me to shut my mouth, you love the mystery
So he tells you love you now?
Driving you crazy how
Fingers on lips, allow his hands on your hips
You know you shouldn't do this
But there's no turning back
Doctor's Orders (dos2, loshe/doctor|adramahlihk, explicit, possession/masturbation, m/f, 1.9k)
title: Mx. Sinister by I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME
Oh you never seem to notice
That my heart beats for you
So I'll open you up
And make yours beat for me too
And I'll get you yet
I've got to make you mine
Worst Impressions (elden ring, varré/tarnished, explicit, gore/torture/drugging, m/f, 2.8k)
title: Flip by Glass Animals
Here's to the one with the smoking stare
Running through my head with a bolo knife
Chopping up the threads made up from looms
Of love and blood and hate and some empty tunes
Mechanics of Affection (bg3, dark urge/gortash look-a-like, explicit, vivisection/masturbation/crisis of faith, m/f, 2.5k)
title: Mongrel Heart by Broken Bells
Would it be wrong
To clamp down on your racing heart, Love?
And if they'd known, what sifted down to be found out?
It's not what you deserve
Love is turning you out
Sliding worry round
I try to warn its waiting game
To bring that specter down
Letter to an Old Friend (bg3, gortash/durge, angst/reunions/memory loss, 1.5k)
title: The Opposite of Loneliness by foyer
I can tell you all the ways that it goes wrong
I can fill you in on everything since you've been gone
Hold your shadow next to mine the shape that you outgrew.
Bootlicker (bg3, tav/gortash, explicit, bootlicking/desk sex/dubcon, m/f, 3.6k)
title: Hatefuck by The Bravery
What would they say now if they saw you in this place?
Naked and breathless, could you live with this disgrace?
Could you live? Could you live? Could you live with this?
And there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
When the Coat Drops (bg3, gortash/durge, angst/loss/emotional breakdowns, 2.9k)
title: Through Me (The Flood) by Hozier
The unemployment of the mouth
The waking up, having forgotten
And remembering again the full extent
Of what forever is
With each grave
I think of loss and I can only think of you
I couldn't measure it
The Black Hound (bg3, gortash/durge, explicit, a/b/o, knotting/praise kink, m/m, 3.5k)
[Â this song is so goddamn hot and I will apply it to every ship forever until the end of time end tweet]
title: Fever Moon by Kevin Devine
You're quick sand
And every morning say I won't get stuck again
I work and fight but just sink deeper in the end
But by nightfall baby here I always am
I tie myself in knots
You come and shake me loose
I'm bound up in you
We push til you're through
Lit up with the proof

two tuesdays ago i traversed uptown to get my left ear cut open. back in october, i had impulsively gotten a new earring while i was pitifully sad during a morning walk. âto feel something,â iâd sighed to friends, who mostly rolled their eyes.Â
it never stopped hurting. helix piercings are notorious for taking longer to heal, but mine remained extra stubborn, consistently tender to the touch and annoyingly easily irritated. i winced every time i slept on it (i knew there would always be at the very least a dull ache and willingly went forward with it anyway, even as a side sleeper). on new yearâs eve it started showing signs of infection. the back of my ear swelled up to an alarming size, hot and beet red and bulbous. just a handful of hours later â 11:53pm, minutes before the clock struck midnight and the year turned over â i used my phone to take a photo and saw that the skin had completely closed over the jewelry, backing and all.
the pain numbed almost instantly. my body had swallowed this foreign object in defiance, embedding it into my cartilage, threatening to remain in my bones.
i flew back to new york and spent a week mindlessly tugging at it, aware i should probably get it looked at but not bothered enough to feel much of an urgency at all. it wasnât until my roommate, who i flippantly told the story to one afternoon, shone a flashlight onto the back of my ear and insisted it was genuinely concerning. she said she was coming with me to urgent care that weekend.
at urgent care i was referred to an ENT up at columbus circle for an emergency appointment. as i sat in the waiting room, i scrolled tiktok with the sound off (my new preferred way of interacting with that app, until i delete it entirely). i saw a video about an old song exploder podcast episode featuring phoebe bridgers and marshall vore diving deep on âscott streetâ from 2017âs âstranger in the alps,â which iâve long considered a truly Perfect Song. it was my favorite for months after it dropped and has remained highly important to me for the past half decade. iâd listened to that podcast when it came out, but by now had forgotten nearly everything that was said. i reminded myself to give it another listen on my trip home.
minutes later, a plastic surgeon examined my fucked up ear and confirmed that my version of what happened was true. he numbed it up, handed me some odd vibrating device that was supposed to help âdistract my brain from the pain.â still, it was excruciating. i heard him make the incision then use a variation of sharp metal tools to dig out the jewelry. grating, like nails on a chalkboard. when it was out, i shyly asked if i could keep it; he handed it back to me in a tiny manila folder.
âyou probably shouldnât get it pierced in that same spot again,â he said.
i turned on the âscott streetâ podcast as i left the surgeonâs office, hearing marshall and phoebe break down the track. marshall spoke of a previous relationship that inspired the lyrics.
âthis person did love me, but they were also working against me," he explained. "i wonder if theyâre ashamed of that, and i wonder if theyâve grown up.âÂ
âitâs so sad and weird to play catch up with someone who was so intimately involved in your life for so long,â phoebe added.Â
at the conclusion of the episode, âscott streetâ played in its entirety as i walked through the passageway from the E to the G at court square. i closed my eyes, hands in my pockets drumming along to the familiar series of bells and train horns, ear bandaged and shot up with lidocaine. i considered friendship, shame, forgiveness, and my penchant for purposely reopening wounds while the outro of the song repeated over and over again: âanyway, donât be a stranger.â
maybe you've caught onto the fact that this story isn't about an earring.
in an unrelated moment of desperation last fall, iâd posted a zoomed-in selfie on my close friends instagram story with a massive text block overriding it, reading: âCAN SOMEONE CONFIRM IF TIME REALLY HEALS?â several people responded with casual optimism (and probably exasperation towards my visible months-long spiral), but adamâs response stood out:
âit just lives in you differently.â
EDIT: walked past the shop i got my piercing at today; this sign sat outside:

Every so often I go through my document folders (which go back years) and basically click on anything I donât recognise or canât remember. And then I realise that I have written some weird random stuff over the years.
Exhibit 347, some Event Horizon type fragment of a thing:
Excerpt: The Lora Ellis
Metal. Warmth. Fat, silver ripples of light across the ceiling. The soft sounds of her own breathing and the rush of her own blood in her ears. Liquid warmth buoying her up, cushioning her, cradling her, coiling her safe with itself. A cosmic egg. Her own private universe, warm and shadowed and full of the scent of metal and stale water.
There were more than a few, she knew, who considered the meditation tank an almost unforgivable luxury out here. Water tanks in deep space. A private chamber on an already cramped vessel, useless for anything but its intended purpose. The worst sort of excess, and all the more incongruous for the blunt functionality of the rest of the ship around it. Oh yes. There had been quite a few clients who'd sneered openly at her indulgence here.
Fuck them all sideways, then. On this point before all others, Lena would never be moved.
There was no way her soul or sanity would survive this endless hell of a job without it.
"Contact with salvage vessel in fourteen minutes, Lena," Cora murmured from the comms, her voice a cool, placid ripple through the warmth of the tank, leeching heat and safety as it went. Lena closed her eyes, thin fingers of ice spreading through her chest, and nodded grimly in the dimness. Not that Cora could see that, of course, but it hardly made a difference. She would expect it. All of them would. They all knew the routine by now.
None of them would falter in the face of it. Not anymore.
She breathed out, a long, ragged exhale, and turned over in the water to get her feet beneath her. The floor of the tank was as warm as it always was, the feel of metal under her bare soles a comfort. She stood there for a minute to soak it in, her hair plastered to her skull, water dripping gently past her ears. Then she firmed her jaw, widened her stance, and reached up to grip the access bars at the top of the tank. The DNA lock released automatically at the touch of her palms, and a rush of cool air flooded into the tank from the hatchway.
Jason was waiting outside as she climbed out, a towel over one arm and a datapad in the other hand. His soft brown eyes skimmed across her as she emerged, judging the set of her jaw and readiness in her eyes. Lena arched an eyebrow at him, a weary, bitter sneer curling her lip. He shrugged easily and handed the towel her way.
"Preliminary reports from the salvagers are coming through," he murmured, looking away from her again as she scrubbed down and started pulling on her undersuit. "Target hulk is a deep space exploration vessel. Emeline Class, thirty to forty years old, equipped with the double fusion plants. There's a strong likelihood that she's either the Lora Ellis or the Wayfarer III. Profile, era, and general location are broadly correct for either of them. Salvage captain favours the Lora Ellis. He's something of an amateur expert when it comes to that period, apparently. He puts the odds pretty strongly in her favour."
Lena grunted, wrestling with her boots and ignoring the sinking in her stomach. She didn't particularly care what odds the captain put where. Or which particular Emeline it was, either.
The only thing that mattered was that it was an Emeline.
She'd known, of course. She'd known the moment the salvage team had called for them specifically. It seemed they were the Emeline experts these days. People rarely called them for anything else anymore.
"Let me guess," she growled, fingers locking down tabs with sharp, angry movements. "No preliminary evidence of ship-to-ship combat. No evidence of external impact. No evidence of internal rupture. No signs of life. No power anywhere on the ship. Intermittent sensor ghosts, focused on the fusion plants, the bridge and the crew quarters. Scans for biological matter subject to interference and unable to return results. Attempts to board failed, primarily due to unexplained panic or hysteria on the part of the boarding team and/or sudden equipment failures." She glanced up, expression tight. "How'd I do?"
The corner of Jason's mouth curled into a dark little smirk. "Bang on," he said lightly. "Though, credit to them, they didn't try more than once. Like I said, the captain is something of an amateur expert when it comes to the Emeline Programme. I think he tried the once to be sure it really was one of them. Took a fair few precautions as well, enough that he didn't actually lose anyone in the attempt. As soon as he knew for sure what he was dealing with, he backed the hell off and called for us. Not a stupid man, this one. For a change."
Lena grunted some more, but didn't actually disagree. They'd never been called to one of the Emeline hulks without someone already in a body bag. Maybe it was a refreshing change.
"Don't suppose he knows more about the Lora Ellis than the name, then?" she asked idly. Standing up, arching her back to test the give of the undersuit. She didn't anticipate much of an answer. Emeline's files had vanished thirty odd years ago, along with most of the ships. There were a few fragments knocking around, culled from god-knew-where by various enterprising and ill-advised souls, but nothing substantial. Generally speaking, the first anyone knew of a particular Emeline's horrors was on boarding her and bumping into them face to face.
There'd only been six of the original seventeen ships found so far, with this one the seventh. Lena'd been present for four of them. There'd been no preparing for it. Not a single time.
"Not much," Jason confirmed, leaning thoughtfully on the door as he watched her. "Just that she was the third they launched. First wave. If it is her, she's the earliest we've found so far. Not sure if that matters or not."
Lena paused in her stretch, her arms falling gently and absently back to her sides. Third launched. The six they'd found so far had been mostly from the latter end of the Programme, with one from the second wave. She'd been there for that one. She couldn't ... she couldn't quite remember whether or not it had been worse. They were all worse. She didn't know how much of that was her own fatigue. But that one ...
"Run triple checks on everything," she said, somewhat vacantly as she cast her mind back, ignoring his stir of motion at her side. "Everything. Especially Cora's links, and the remote grounding. Full hermit seals on the suits. Make sure there's nothing they can access."
"... I take it it does make a difference, then," he murmured, almost wryly, and Lena blinked back to stare at him a little bit. There was an odd look in his eyes. Not Cora's patient calm or Lena's own bitter acceptance. They hadn't been together that long, but she'd already noticed that Jason tended more towards a dark sort of humour instead. Amusement, in a black, fatalistic sort of way. She wasn't sure yet how much she liked it. She wasn't sure how much she trusted it to hold steady.
Though he hadn't let them down yet. Not once, and he'd been there for an Emeline before, and the Lorca V as well. Whatever sort of humour he ran on, he hadn't faltered yet.
"... I don't know," she told him. Honestly. "It might do. I'm not sure. I was there for the Oberon Grey, but a lot of it's gone now. The impact fades over time, at least for me. Probably good. I wouldn't have lasted this long if it didn't.â

she's so cold
summary: on a mission with steve, you're desperate for warmth
pairing: steve x agent!reader
word count: 720
warnings: explicit language, me hating the cold, canada <3
a/n: this is day 12 of my valentine's blurb challenge with the prompt character a insisting they don't need a coat and then freezing until character b eventually has to give them theirs. this is definitely inspired by cold, cold water by @wkemeup which is one of my all time favorite fics. i love a good stakeout <3
challenge masterlist
You had made up your mind, you were never doing a stakeout again. As a matter of fact, you were never going on a mission with Steve Rogers again. This was a nightmare.
When Maria dropped a folder on your desk two days ago, you jumped at the chance to work with Captain Rogers without even looking over the material. She just raised her eyebrow at you, before texting Fury to confirm, and somehow even then you knew you had fucked up.
Because if you had taken a second to even open the first page, you would have seen that the mission included two things that scared you to your core: being alone with Steve Rogers, and the cold.
Which is how you ended up shaking in the front seat of an old beat up car, surveilling a dive bar in the outskirts of Ottawa that was supposed to be a front for a major drug ring. It didnât help that Steve kept offering you his jacket even though you were already bundled in about five layers, because all you wanted to do was say yes, but then you would have to see his huge biceps only inches from you, and you really didnât have the mental power to handle that when everything else was focuses on not freezing to death.
It had only been two days, and you were already having a hard time making sure your massive crush wasnât obvious, especially when you woke up from a nap and you had managed to lay your head on his shoulder. To make matters worse, he didnât say a word about it when you woke up and practically threw yourself to the side of the seat; he just gave you a knowing smile, then went back to looking over the file in his lap.
Finally, on day five, after an argument about how you could definitely leave the post for a few minutes, Steve, Iâm dying here you agreed to take his jacket, leaving him in a thin t-shirt that left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
You glared at him as he tucked it around your front, bundling you in, and you were so exhausted from your constant shivering that your brain lacked its usual filter, and you took a deep inhale, smelling the woodsy scent of his cologne, mixed with a musk that was uniquely Steve.
You looked up in horror, realizing what you had done and just how fucking weird it was, but he just shook his head fondly, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.
As he settled back in the seat again, you finally got the courage to speak up.
âThanks, Stevie. Still donât know how youâre not freezing, though.â
âItâs the serum, keeps my body temperature up.â He gave you a sidelong glance, as if debating his next words. ââD still do it anyway, for you.â
Your freezing heart melted then, and you timidly wiggled your hand out from under the layers of fabric, taking his in yours. He flinched for a moment at the chill, but then laced his fingers with yours, giving them a gentle squeeze.
âYou know, I asked Maria to give you that file, specifically. I wanted you on this mission with me.â The words sent a shock through you, not expecting them at all.
Keeping your composure, you settled on making a joke instead of crawling into his lap like you desperately wanted to. âSo youâre the reason Iâve been freezing my ass off for the last few days?â
âTo be fair, you could have said no.â
âNobody says no to Maria, Steven.â He laughed at that, and it was truly a beautiful sight. âYou really wanted to be stuck in a car with me for an undetermined amount of time, in the freezing cold?â
âSeemed like the easiest way to get close to you, I guess.â You snorted, ready to make another sarcastic comment, when he continued. âNow I think I could have just asked you to dinner, but I was nervous.â
âWell, Rogers, you can take me out when we get out of this freezing icescape. For now, let me suck up your body heat.â
His smile widened, scooting closer to you and wrapping his arms around your frame, and you swore you had never been warmer.

Ok so prompt idea: Sirius cries every time Harry and Ginny announce theyâre going to have a baby
Sorry I just had to do it, Iâm obsessed with them but feel free to do whatever you want!!đ
lmao well played, sending me my own prompt to write! You're lucky I had something in my abandoned drafts folder that actually sort of fits this prompt...but if anyone else in the future wants to write this, PLEASE DO, I will never get tired of this idea.
----------------
âWe, um. We have something for you. A couple of presents.â
Sirius arches an eyebrow at him. âHarry, itâs April. Why are you getting us presents in April?â
âErm...youâll see. Hold on.â
Harry pulls two tiny packages out of his pocket, then enlarges them with a tap of his wand to normal size. He pushes them across the table to Sirius and Remus, who exchange confused looks.
âTheyâre not going to explode,â Harry says. âItâs--itâs good, I promise.â
Sirius reaches for the gift in front of him, and after a moment, Remus does the same. Theyâre both wrapped in red and gold paper, which Sirius tears off to reveal a box. He lifts the lid and pulls out a truly garish mug, the colors bright and clashing, and turns it to read the words stamped on it in gold.
âWorldâs Best Grandpa,â he reads aloud, and then his brain immediately whites out. What.
âOh my god,â Remus whispers, staring wide-eyed at his own mug. His hand fastens on Siriusâs forearm, his grip bordering on painful. âOh my god. Are you two--â
âGinnyâs pregnant,â Harry blurts.
âYouâre having a baby?â Sirius says blankly.
And then Ginny holds up two fingers.
âOh my god,â Remus says again, at the same moment that Sirius squeaks, âTwins?â
âErm, surprise,â Harry says sheepishly.
Sirius gets up so quickly that his chair tips over, dives across the distance between them to wrap Ginny in a tight hug. And then heâs got Harry in his arms, Harry laughing wetly in his ear as Sirius threatens to crack his ribs.
âHarry Potter,â he says, pulling back, attempting to look stern even though he knows itâs completely ineffective through his tears, âI told you you werenât allowed to make me a grandfather before fifty!â
Harry wipes his eyes and grins. âSorry, Pads.â
Sirius takes Harryâs face in his hands and kisses him on the forehead. âYouâre gonna be an excellent dad. You know that, right?â
âIâm gonna try.â Harry sniffs. He gives Sirius a meaningful look and says, âLearned from the best, didnât I?â
Sirius pulls him into another hug, one hand cupping the back of Harryâs head while the other rubs his back, marveling at the young man in his arms. It seems like only yesterday he was hugging a too-thin thirteen-year-old for the first time in the tunnel under the Whomping Willow, and now Harryâs all grown up and with a baby on the way. Two babies on the way, Merlin. Theyâre going to need a bigger cottage.
âLove you,â he whispers, kissing Harryâs messy mop of hair. âLove you so much, Harry James.â
âLove you, too, Sirius.â
Sirius then releases him to grab Remus around the waist and spin him in a circle. âWeâre gonna be granddads.â

Crumpled Up Pages: Old Captain Underpants WIPs #1-4
The First Epic Movie turned 5 earlier this month, and I dug through some old folders to write this post about it. In the process, I found some fanfic ideas Iâd written down, fleshed out a little, and then forgot about for years. So while hyperfixation still has its grip on me (and while thereâs still some extra activity in the tag), I figured Iâd finally set these dust bunnies free!
A few ground rules before this deep dive descends:
When I say âfleshed out a little,â Iâm putting major emphasis on the âlittle.â Some of these docs contain detailed notes and snippets of dialogue, but others are just a title and a vague one-sentence summary. Iâll be transparent about what each one contains, and try to fill in the bigger gaps by memory.
If you were around for the CU Fandom Renaissance of 2017, some of the ideas here might sound familiar, âcus I refitted them into fanart and headcanon dumps that actually got posted. Iâll link to those where theyâre relevant.
These were all written and abandoned months before a CU show was even announced, so thereâs no Epic Tales content or characters in here. Sorry if you were expecting any!
Iâm splitting this into two posts cus it was getting and taking too long. This first part will cover the 4 simplest, fluffiest WIPs; the second one will tackle the 6 sadder, more character-heavy ones. And with character-heavy stuff comes spoilers for the movie and books â especially the books. If you havenât read all 12, youâre probably wondering why anyone would care about Captain Underpants spoilers. First off, your loss; second off, BEWARE!
And finally: if you write fanfiction and feel inspired to use any of these ideas? You have my permission to do so! Seriously, steal anything here and put your own spin on them! I donât care much for credit, but if these old things help fuel someone elseâs creativity, Iâd love to know!
Thatâs enough prep, probably. Plug your nose!
WIP #1: Inspiration
It can come from even the worst of places. ...And people, in this case. [Book!Verse, pre-Book 1.]
This document contains a long script, but no context; I can remember the gist though, so Iâll insert that in-between dialogue. Basically itâs third grade, and George and Harold are in detention again. They cheat to fill up the blackboards like usual, but theyâre too bummed out to start a comic afterwards. George sits around stewing in his frustration while Harold angry-scribbles Mr. Krupp yelling.
â...Why does he hate us so much, George?â
âI dunno. Maybe âcause he canât handle our coolness? âŠNice drawing, by the way.â
âThanks. âŠItâs making me sad just lookinâ at it, though.â
âYeah, me too. âŠI wonder what heâd look like if he smiled.â
â...?â
â...I mean, like, a real smile, not an Iâve-got-you-now smile.â
âOh. HmmmâŠâ
Harold erases Kruppâs wide yelling mouth and draws a goofy smile in its place.
âAw, man, now itâs just creepy.â
âDarn.â
The boys keep editing the drawing until it stops being creepy and starts being funny. George erases Kruppâs toupee, remembering the time they stole it and the teachers couldnât take him seriously without it. Harold draws one of his office curtains around his neck, adding more color and kinetic energy. Soon theyâre struggling not to laugh out loud, but they manage to calm down⊠until George gets an idea that takes the sketch from great to legendary.
âWaitwaitwaitwaitwait. Remember what my pop said about Superman yesterday?â
âThat he looks like⊠DUDE. Duuuuuude.â
Harold redraws Kruppâs entire lower body so heâs only wearing underwear. Then with a flourish, he adds the finishing touch â two dots on his chest â and they both lose it. All their laughter finally prompts the real Krupp to check on them, and predictably, he rips up the drawing. It upsets the boys in the moment, but theyâre still in much higher spirits than before, and brainstorm a new comic about their new creation as they skateboard home.
âYou think we should make his origin issue first?â
âNaw, letâs get right to the action! His outfitâs already the perfect hook â finally, a superhero who actually does fly around in his underwear!â
âYeah, and he could fight with Wedgie Power!â
God, rediscovering this gave me the most uncontrollable grin. From the date it was last opened, I think this fic was meant for September 1st, 2017 (Book 1âs 20th anniversary), and I gave up after missing it. For shame, 2017!me. For shame.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
WIP #2: Untitled Boomer One-shot
Harold wonât admit it, but heâd slay a dragon for his little sister. [Book!Verse but only cus this scene was deleted and is thus dubiously canon]
This docâs nothing but notes, so Iâll paraphrase the plot: Ms. Hutchins takes Heidi and Harold to Boomer the Purple Dragon: Live! Harold was gonna stay with the Beards but they cancelled last minute, and heâs grumpy about it the whole time. When the show ends, kids gather in front of the stage to meet Boomer; Ms. Hutchins suddenly gets an important call, and makes Harold walk Heidi up there.Â
But the dragonâs mascot suit is big up close for a 6-year-old, and Heidi gets so scared she starts crying. Sheâs rooted to the spot and waves her arms in panic, but âBoomerâ thinks she wants a hug and waddles closer and closer... until Harold kicks him in the groin. Their mom understandably grounds him for it, but Heidi is grateful and calls him her hero :)
This one was based on the classic âkid hits mascot in the weak spotâ genre of AFV, but also on an early memory of mine! My sister and I loved Arthur as babies, so our mom took us to see this thing. The characters suddenly being real (and huge) was so upsetting that we scream-cried until she took us home early. (Speaking of Arthur, itâs a shame Heidiâs never really done anything in canon, I can see her having big DW energy.)
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
WIP #3: When Worlds Collide
It was less âlove at first sightâ and more âlove at first squawk.â [Book!Verse, Book 7.]
A quick refresher: George told Harold to take Crackers back to dinosaur times, but he left her in the treehouse with Sulu instead. Later in the book, theyâre shown snuggling in their sleep đ„șđ„ș Anyway, this fic was about what they got up to in between! Itâs actually the most complete of the lot, but only because itâs so short and simple.
It opens with Harold introducing them to each other, leaving out some treats for them (hamster food for Sulu, crackers for Crackers), then telling them to play nice until he comes back. They do not. Crackers pulls a Thunderclap the moment Harold leaves, Sulu karate-chops her throat until she spits him out, and they wreck half the treehouse in the ensuing chase.
Eventually they settle for standing in opposite corners and hissing at each other. Then Sulu⊠*squints* âŠrecords Crackersâ hisses with his bionic ears and plays them back so they can communicate? âŠYeah, okay, why not. The outline ends after this sudden development; Iâm guessing they talk things out and start to catch feels, before settling in to sleep. Anyway hereâs the few sentences I actually wrote out:
Harold opened the door, Sulu got on the floor, and in walked the curious dinosaur.
[âŠ] As predator and prey faced off, a little boy and his mother happened to be walking down Vine Street. âMommy,â said the little boy, âI can hear a bionic hamster and a pterodactyl fighting in that treehouse!â
âOh, please,â his mother scoffed. âHow do you even know what that would sound like?â
The boy considered pointing out the CHOMPs, SQUEAKs, and SQUAAAWKs emanating from the tree in big blocky letters, but decided it wasnât quite worth the trouble.
The doc ends with a reminder to not refer to Crackers with any pronouns until the two pets can understand each other. Also I was gonna title this after a Tony Orlando and Dawn song as foreshadowing, but I couldnât choose one, so instead I went with this Spongebob song lol.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
WIP #4: Untitled Tommy One-shot
The schoolâs been near bully-free ever since Treehouse Comix Inc. was formed. Tommy reflects on this from the safety of his locker. [Movie!Verse with a hint of Book 9. CW: discussion of bullying.]
A Kid I Never Named knocks on Tommyâs locker and offers to trade Pilkeymon. They have to be sneaky, because itâs the 90âČs and they have to slip a Link Cable through the locker vents without being spotted.
As they trade, the other kid asks Tommy why he hides all the time. He explains that itâs a habit from when Kipper Krupp terrorized the halls. But Kipper left four years ago, and the legend of Wedgie Magee has kept other bullies at bay ever since; the other kid points this out and asks why he still hides. This led into âa somber discussion on adverse school experiences and the long-lasting coping mechanisms they causeâ (exact words from the doc). Unfortunately 2017!me never wrote any dialogue, and Iâm mad at her for that.
Trivia drop! I used the Pilkeymon joke a few times at @treehouseblogsinc, but itâs way older than that, and also not mine: Pilkey.com used to have a coloring game named Pilkeymonâs Paintbox. It even had art of Davâs old spiky-haired avatar with Pikachu ears! Thereâs no trace of it on the Internet anymore, but I swear Iâm not making this up.
I left a note here to add that Tommy has glow-in-the-dark stickers in his locker, which ended up in this headcanon dump. Thereâs also a list of last names I came up with for him but never chose between: Chambers, Lakatos (which I shared once here), and Lockenspiel. Right now Iâm leaning towards the last one, it rolls nicely off the tongue.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Thatâs it for now! Not gonna lie, Iâm still nervous about posting the other 6 WIPs. Most of them deal with Book 12, and all the tough subjects that that entails. But hey, I made this bed, and by God am I gonna lie in it. Thanks for reading so far!

Iâm too tired to make a whole tumblr fic post because of the way I formatted it.
But Iâll be reblogging with a link a nEw FiC!! Itâs not a real new fic, itâs an old new fic. Tangled Timelines is still my main priority whenever I actually start writing again. Iâve dived into the wip folder for editing though and found something that was originally supposed to be massive and can be broken up into many lil fics.
Waste No Time Pairing: Ninth Doctor/Rose Tyler Rated: T Wordcount: 11,355
Summary: If saving the world will always be the top priority, Rose doesn't think there's a reason not to take small risks every now and then. Life is short. No regrets.
Preview:
It had been a couple of days. It had been a year. Depends on who you were asking.
As Rose stood there, listening through a tinny speakerphone connection to the lies the Slitheen were telling the planet, she suddenly really felt like it actually had been a year since she ran into the TARDIS, since she'd been just a girl who worked in a shop. It was all so different.Â
She  was different.
They were going to nuke the Earth. Kill everyone without a single care at all.
"Alright, Doctor," she heard her mother on the phone and finally felt a little more grounded, "I'm not saying I trust you, but there must be something you can do."
There was. There had to be. She'd only known him a couple days, but it felt like a year and Rose believed in him.

Calm
Based Off Of This Ask
And This One
This One Too
A/N: Iâm not gonna lieâŠI had no idea what I was going to write for tonightđ. So I went âdumpster divingâ in my want to write folder and old drafts and I found these concepts from a tiny while ago that I absolutely loved. So I did a hot lil something something with them...I hope it doesn't suck and you guys like it! Enjoyđ
Jealousy, something that you and Harry weâre very familiar with. But mainly Harry though. See, despite the fact that heâd been with you for years at this point and had been married to you for a little over two years, Harry still got jealous. In fact, Harry was even more jealous now than before he slid the sparkling ring onto your coveted left ring finger. Just the thought of anyone coming less than five feet of you with an obviously flirtatious disposition made his flags go up and his jealousy levels spike. And to be completely honest, it was all because Harry was selfish. He wanted you all to himself, and anyone who even attempted to come in between you two went on his radar and heâd go on the defense. Now even though in most situations his jealousy was unwarranted and too much for the situation at hand, you did still enjoy it a bit. You loved when Harry was possessive over you and made it known to others that you were his. It was a really nice mix of soft and sweet along with hot and sexy.Â
And judging by what was going on between you and Harry right now, it was guaranteed that you and Harry were going to be enjoying a heavy dose of that sweet and spicy jealousy. The two of you were enjoying your night out at a mutual friends birthday party, and you both were having a really good time mixing and mingling while managing to stay joined at the hip for the majority of your time there. But as you continued to glide through the party with Harry, you were contently sipping on your drink which led you to quickly empty your glass and be in need of a refill. Once you unwrap yourself from Harry, let him know that youâre going to get another drink, and inquire about whether or not he wants his drink refreshed, you weave yourself through the cluster of people and over to the bar where you place your order. And in this small window of time between leaving him and placing your order, you manage to walk right into the number one situation that would cause Harry to become jealous. Talking to an attractive guy that he didnât know at the bar.Â
Now even though the sparkler on your left hand was supposed to stop any flirtatious advances towards you, it didnât. Despite clearly being married, you were still approached by males and females who wanted to âbreak off a pieceâ in the words of Harry. And to make matters worse, you went above and beyond to make yourself up. You spent a good amount of time getting yourself together for your night out with Harry. You looked so good that you two were extremely close to not even making it out the front door. So if Harry was looking and practically drooling at the thought and/or sight of you, there was so doubt in his mind that others were looking too. And he didnât like that one bit. So once he saw you chatting it up with a guy whoâs identity was unknown to him and who was pretty obviously checking you out and flirting, Harryâs disposition immediately went from calm cool, and collected, to calm collected, and defensive. The only thing that stopped him from swiftly coming over and injecting himself into the seemingly âharmlessâ exchange was a friend of his that stopped him right in his tracks. And if it wasnât for that friend, Harry wouldâve marched over to where you were, pulled you away from the man who from his vantage point was up to no good, then give it to you real good as he constantly reminded you that you were his and only his. Thatâs what couldâve happened. But instead of all that, Harryâs jealous fire was momentarily tempered to just a sizzle. Being at just a sizzle meant that he could do the unexpected right now.Â
Being at just a sizzle allowed him to politely, but not so politely pull you out of the conversation and pull you both out of the party. From the outside, everything seemed oddly fine. He didnât have a prominent scowl on his face as he drove you both home and he didnât have an intense grip in your thigh. He simply had a hand on the steering wheel and the other loosely planted on your thigh. Seeing him so calm was very interesting to say the least. When you saw him in your peripherals at the party, you were kind of expecting and looking forward to having a hot jealousy filled quickie in the bathroom. You were expecting and hoping for him to fuck you like he hates you but because he loves you. But no, you got a calm cool and collected Harry who simply escorted you both out of there. The only thought you two had in common during the entire ordeal and the entire ride home was that you were going to get it upon arrival.
Now you were on the money about getting it at home, you were just off at the timing. You were thinking right against the door or in the living room since heâs had time for these jealous thoughts to fester as he drove. And he did let his thoughts fester in his mind and bring back the fiery feeling inside of him. Harry was definitely, if not more jealous and possessive once you two made it back home. He was more than ready to rip your clothes off and go to town on you as he made sure that you remembered who you belonged to. But yet again, he didnât jump right in the way you expected. He simply walked you both into the house and right upstairs to get ready for bed.
At this point, you were on edge. When was he finally going to do something?! You knew he was hard and you knew that he was jealous. This was the perfect combination for a round or many of hot and rough sex. But in this situation, he simply went about getting ready for bed and helping you get undressed as well. You were buzzing with anticipation and you were constantly thinking of the many possible segways into what was bound to happen. You were all types of confused, excited, at the prospect of finally getting what you wanted. And your dream finally came true once you and Harry quietly went through you guysâ entire nighttime routine and were in bed. Even though you werenât necessarily trying to end up in a situation where Harry was jealous and desperate to establish in your mind that you were his, you werenât mad at it by any means.
âYou know I love you, right darling?â Harry asks randomly, propping himself up onto his elbow to peer down at you.
âMhm.â You hum up to him in response, making sure to send him a soft and reassuring smile in the process.
âGood.â He simply replies, bringing his free hand down to the side of your face. âBecause Iâm gonna fuck you like I donât.â He continues, bringing the hand down to wrap around your throat and tightening it right as he mutters the last word. Harry was hard and Harry was jealous; it was game on for him. He wasnât going to hold back; and to be completely honest, you werenât expecting him to. As soon as his hand tightened around your throat, a shock went to your core and you were ready to take every last thing he gave you until you were just a pile of numbness. âI swear to you. I wonât stop until your legs are shaking and the neighbors know my name.â He growls, bringing his face down closer to yours and keeping his hand on your throat as he moves on top of you and pushes up the bottom of his t-shirt to uncover your lower half. He then gives your throat one more tight squeeze, making sure that he was pushing your head down into the pillows before releasing you. While youâre panting to catch your breath, Harry is snatching any and every (even though it was only two things) piece of clothing off of your body. After getting you fully undressed, Harry is quick to push you over and tug his own t-shirt and boxers off as well. Now that heâs fully naked as well, Harry doesnât waste a single second to wrap his hand around and tug at his cock. He was finally free of the confines of his pants and he was finally going to be inside of you after a long night.Â
As he tugs at his cock, you can feel his other hand come between your legs and begin to move up and down your folds. You felt him push his two fingers up and down your slick folds and nudge at your entrance while he grunted and relieved himself a bit behind you. As he did this you tightened your arms around the pillows beneath your head and you soaked up any form of touch from him. Knowing Harry, even though heâs mad and ready to just pound you into oblivion, heâd build up to it and just leave you both hanging in the name of making you suffer. So you were definitely praying that heâd do more and not stop all together. He did say that he wasnât going to stop until you were shaking and the neighbors knew his name after all.
After a couple more tugs to his cock and rubs to your soaking cunt, Harry finally pushes further to the place that you both are looking forward to. Keeping his hand around his cock, he lifts himself up from his kneeling position between your legs and into the position of hovering over your body with his other hand that was once between your legs planted on the bed for support. Then without warning, Harry begins to sheath his cock between your walls. Even though he was supposed to be Mr. Tough Guy and in charge right now, he couldnât stop himself from letting out a little whimper. Your walls just felt so good around his cock. Like so good. And he wasnât the only one whimpering. You too were a mess at the feeling of his cock stretching your walls to accommodate your size and twitching while itâs moving deeper and deeper into you. He was so big that the thick veins on his shaft were pushing into your spongy walls, causing you to feel them glide against you as he pushed into you. Now as he slowly fills you with his cock, Harry also begins to slowly lower himself down onto you until heâs fully on top of you body. You were sandwiched between his body and the mattress, your legs were pinned down by his, and his mouth was in your neck right by your ear. He was ultimately setting you up to be a mess around him.Â
âNow youâre gonna be a good girl and take it right?â He asks, keeping his mouth right on you as he spoke.
âMhm.â You whimper shakily, waiting for him to finally start and give you what youâve been anticipating.
âWords!â He snarls, lifting his hips to send a sharp and unexpected thrust into you.
âYes!â You gasp, feeling his cock slam right up into your sweet spot.
âGood girl.â Harry hums delightedly before continuing his thrusts. He consistently lifts his hips up, slightly pulling his cock from you just to slam back down into you sending his cock into the deepest parts of you. As he does this, youâre full on whining into the pillows. The way he was relentlessly fucking down into you as he grunted into your ear about how you were his and that he was the only one who would ever do this to you. It was absolutely amazing.
After pinning you down and fucking you right into the mattress, Harry was ready to switch it up. He wanted to see your face as you took every inch of his cock. He wanted to watch you fall apart as he imprinted his cock into your delectable walls. So to make a long story short, Harry is quick to lift himself up from your back and flip you back into your original position in front of him. When he does this, youâre still clutching onto the pillow that was once beneath your head as you anxiously wait for him to slam back into you. Before he does though, Harry latches onto the pillow and tugs it out of your tight yet weak grip and tosses it onto the bed behind him with a cynical smirk plastered across his face. He then brings his large, and still ringed hand around your throat before lining his cock back up with your entrance and pushing back into you. Again, he goes straight into thrusting down into you. As he did, your hands frantically searched for something to grab onto as you took the deliciously hard thrusts. From this angle, you could feel him really hitting those spots inside of you and you could feel his balls slapping against you.
Harry on cloud nine right now to say the least. You felt so good around him, clenching and shaking as you took his cock. And you looked so pretty with your glossed over eyes and as you choked on your moans.Â
âNow mâgonna let go and I wanna hear you use that little voice of yours. Understand?â Harry pants above you, continuing to shove his cock deep into you. With the pitiful look still spread across your face, you feverishly nod your head yes. âAnd if you scream loud enough, I might let you cum.â He offers, loosening his tight grip on your throat. And once he does this, youâre screaming. Youâre going on and on about how good he feels and how you can feel his cock all the way in the pit of your stomach.
âPlease Harry!â You loudly cry out to him, feeling your body become warmer and number with every thrust.Â
âWanna cum?â Harry grunts, beginning to slow his thrusts down to more staggered and sharp ones since his own release was fast approaching.
âNeed to.â You whimper, feeling your strength to hold back dwindling by the second. But luckily for you, Harry manages to send three final thrusts into you that send you both right over into your releases. The both of you can feel each other contracting and convulsing with every spurt of your orgasms.
 The both of you were beyond and completely out of it by the end of your earth shattering releases. And despite all of the numbness and soreness that was coming your way, every last second was worth it.

A Little Chaos
Summary: A thief finds herself at the center of the kidnapping of two girls and has the attention one very attractive detective.Â
Pairing: Detective Loki x Fem!ReaderÂ
Word Count:Â 3.8k
Warnings: Criminal activity, flirting, sexual references, brief choking, probably 16+ based on content but no explicit smut. A mention of pedophilia but nowhere near in detail.
A/N: I don't think I've ever written something like this and can I just say that I really loved it!? So, I really hope you all do too! Requests are currently CLOSED but I hope to open them soon again and with new characters to add to my list. Check out my Masterlist for all other works. Thanks so much for requesting this @mrs-blooooom! I just loved the idea so much and thanks for being so kind about all the delays!
One - pick the lockÂ
Two - lift up the screen and frame as quietly as possible but make absolutely no rough work of it.Â
Three - slip on the shoe covers and assess the gloves before entering through the window.Â
Four - get to work.Â
That was always the structure, no questions asked. Though, you noticed the news beginning to trace your patterns. You had made a hit in another neighborhood two weeks ago and because the news began reporting the patters, you were sure the police werenât far behind.Â
And perhaps on that particular Thanksgiving, you shouldnât have done anotherâor picked that house, rather. Â
Detective David Loki had a million different things running through his mind on a daily basis. When a case such as the Dover-Birch one stuck itself in the middle of an already pending investigation of burglaries in the Conyerâs area, he had a hunch of who he would investigate first. But he couldnât get to that immediately because Keller Dover convinced him and his superiors that the RV belonging to Alex Jones was the first and only way to go.Â
But even after interrogating the man who had a child-like innocence to him, David Loki was convinced there was something more to the story. There had to have been a connection to who burglarized the Doverâs that same night and where the girls could be... he was certain, but then he wasnât because he wasnât sure you were the kind of person who would kidnap two innocent girls.Â
On a particularly slow Tuesday, no new leads had come in and the investigation had stalled because Alex Jones had now gone missing without a trace. Although he was doing everything he could, Loki was far from finding a solution and decided to take the initiative into his own hands and dive into the file he had been working on for nearly five monthsâthe one into you and your less-than-stellar activities. The post-it note sticking out of the side of the manilla folder contained an address to an apartment in the center of town. He plucked it out, tucked it into his pocket and walked straight out of the station.Â
You werenât worried about being considered a suspect in the kidnapping of two girls. You had no connection to the Doverâs, Birchesâ, or the Jonesâ, as well as no connection to the scene of the crime. You were always careful, and the Doverâs had no security cameras. So, when your comm buzzed in the middle of the day, you werenât expecting it to be the police.Â
âHello?âÂ
âMs. L/n? This is Detective Loki with the Conyerâs Police Department. I have a few questions I would like to ask you.â The voice was cackled with the circuited communication buzzer but you heard the man loud and clear. You also knew exactly who that was.Â
Detective David Loki was an infamous creature of Conyers. One day he just seemed to sprout out of nowhere and into the public sphere, but you had known him for a while. You were never friends, and you were sure until now he didnât even know your name, but he was the star pupil of the town. And the spotlight he was in, he absolutely hated it. Every time his picture appeared in the paper or when he had to speak on the television relayed that message and you laughed in pity. The poor man just wanted to do his job and that was one part he didnât sign up for.Â
âCan I ask what this is regarding?âÂ
âThe investigation into Joy Birch and Anna Dover. I just have a few questions Iâd like to ask you if you would step-âÂ
âIâll buzz you up.â You pressed the button and unlocked the door, opening it just enough for you to rest on the frame with one arm on the door and the other on your hip.Â
Another thing you knew about Detective David Loki was that he was one of the most attractive people you had ever laid eyes on. The man was a walking dream but unfortunately, on the other side of the law which was far from promising when it came to your vivid imagination.Â
âHow nice of you to not barge into my home, Detective.â You called out to him as he appeared on the steps landing just down the hall from your door. Loki gave no smile but shoved an orange post-it into his jacket as he shoved his hands into his pockets.Â
âThis surely wonât take long.âÂ
With a nod you moved away from the door, shutting it closed behind you. With the sudden and unexpected presence of this man who was a fine line between formal detective and loose cop, there was an urge to be exactly the opposite of what he wanted you to be. He had been trailing you for just enough time to learn patterns in your life, the people you associate with, the fact that you had a degree and a decent job. You had an apartment to call your own, a car that wasnât stolen and yet you continued to break into people's homes and steal curious objects for what? Consignment sales? He wasnât sure. But you werenât going to give him the answers he was looking for. You enjoyed the life you built for yourself...even if you had to steal and sell things to arrive at ends meet to pay for everything in your life.Â
âSo... what can I do for you?âÂ
âCan you recall where and what you were going on the night of Thursday, November 28th?âÂ
âThanksgiving?â You asked with a raised brow and he nodded. Loki pulled out no notebook to take notes, rather he watched every movement. He was trying to identify guilt, but you were a casual sleuth. It wasnât a game he was used to because all of his suspects eventually gave in.Â
âI got up around 8:30, maybe 9 and ate some breakfast, um I-â You took a seat on the arm of your couch, running a hand over your mouth trying to ârememberâ what exactly you were doing a few days ago.Â
â-took a shower and then got started on my dish to pass at my parents dinner. I made sweet potatoes and stuffing-or dressing... I donât know what you call it.â Loki was far from amused that you were making this appear less than serious. He couldnât let himself believe that you were stupid enough to believe he wasnât there on behalf of the story that captured the attention of the entire nation, so he didnât believe a word you said.Â
âWhen that was done I got ready, did my makeup, and headed out to my parents where my sister and her family were meeting us to have dinner. Then I left their house around 7-ish and came home.âÂ
âAfter dinner you went straight home?âÂ
âYes.âÂ
You looked at him with an unfazed gaze which he met but didnât buy. It was a game. A cat and mouse game that he wasnât willing to bite into but it was too late, you already had him on a string. Loki would be lying if he didnât find you attractive, even in the slightest. You were a beautiful woman, and it was because of how you looked that youâve never been caught. You always covered every inch of your body and you looked unassuming. You had a perfectly pristine house, looked like someone who didnât need to steal to live but then again, most of the time, all the people who do steal never look like they would because that is what people are taught not to look for.Â
âI made some phone calls late last week and someone in your family spilled that you werenât there. In fact, you havenât been to a family holiday since you graduated college nearly ten years ago. Bad relationship?âÂ
âI can assure youâwhoever you talked to, they werenât there. I was there. I can tell you what I wore, what I ate, what was on the T.V. and what color shoe my nephew was wearing that day.âÂ
âThose could just be good guesses?â Loki let his eyes wander around the small living space. He looked at the picture frames, the vases, the bins, the T.V. stand, everything that could have screamed âout of placeâ to him but nothing did.Â
âYou didnât happen to pass two little girls on your drive home, did you?âÂ
âExcuse me?âÂ
âTwo girls. Iâm sure youâve seen their picture on the news.â Loki pointed to the T.V. at first but then dug into his pocket and pulled out a single picture of two girls photographed on a playground. They were smiling widely and happily at the person behind the camera. You had never seen the girls so you shook your head no and crossed your arms.Â
âNo. Iâve never seen them before. Am I supposed to?âÂ
âI donât know, are you?âÂ
âWhat are you implying, detective?âÂ
âDo you know the house you broke into on Thursday, November 28th was the home of Anna Dover. Anna and her friend Joy went missing that same night after returning to the Dover residence to find a whistle. You were inside the home at the time we believe the girls went missing. So, tell meâdo you know where the girls are?â Loki was zoned in accusation. The man was unwavering in his tone or his assumption and you would say it was scary if you didnât find it attractive. Why, God WHY, did the detective working on this case have to be everything you looked for in a man? It would be so much easier if he were old and wrinkled but he was far far from it.Â
âDetective, if I would have known you would come into my home and accuse me of kidnapping two innocent girls, I wouldnât have answered the ring.âÂ
âWhere are the two girls? Do you know where they are?âÂ
âNo. I told you I didnât take the girls.âÂ
âBut you were in the house? Did you see the girls?âÂ
âI didnât say that either.âÂ
âWhat if I told you that you were a sloppy thief?âÂ
âExcuse me?â You furrowed your brows in confusion. You were certain that you were not. There was never a time where you left as much as a trace of hair in a location that you hit.Â
âThe bin.â Loki walked over to the T.V. stand that had three white bins tucked into slots. The bins were generally filled with junk except for one thing that the Doverâs told him went missing yesterday afternoon. A medium size blue decorative pot with yellow flowers on its sides. It was meant for shallow flowers as a table center piece that was gifted to Keller and Grace on their wedding day. Grace was distraught over it and it was sitting the left-most bin under the television. Loki pulled open the drawer and carefully took out the pot and you looked at it with a shrug.Â
âWhere did you get this?âÂ
âMy mother.âÂ
âI thought I told you that they told me you havenât spoken to them in a decade?âÂ
âWell I obviously spoke to them before that.âÂ
âI am going to ask you again and I want an honest answer. Where did you get this pot?âÂ
What were you supposed to do? The man literally cracked the code. If only you hadnât chosen that house. Oh! How much easier your life would be.Â
âI plead the fifth.â Oh, fuck.Â
Loki set the pot carefully down and pulled a pair of handcuffs from his belt. It would have been hot if you werenât terrified of what came next. Then you made an ill-timed joke.Â
âYouâre not pulling those out for another reason are you?â You didnât even laugh yourself because he simply ignored it and motioned for you to stand and turn around.Â
âI am going to take you to the station and we will talk more there. Stand up, turn around, and give me your hands.âÂ
âI already told you I donât know where the girls are.â Ignored again but the feeling of him pushing your shoulder with his hand and taking your wrist was something you wished you would stop replaying in your mind.Â
âYou have the right to remain silent. Anything-âÂ
The Conyerâs Police Station was wimpy compared to other cities. It was a small, single story brick building with three holding rooms and one interrogation room. You werenât sure how long you sat in the holding cell, but it was nighttime by the time you were taken out of the room by another officer and into a brightly lit, slightly yellowed room with a mirrored window and a small desk with two chairs. There was a pencil and a pad of paper at the center of it but you were sure if it was going to be Detective Loki interrogating you, he wouldnât need it.Â
The officer uncuffed you with no words spoken and pointed at the chair facing the window. You rubbed your wrists from the friction the metal left before taking a seat and staring into the glass where your reflection met your own. You had nothing to do with the two missing girls so you had nothing to give them, or rather, nothing to give Loki to further his investigation.Â
The man of the hour waltzed into the room a mere five minutes after you were sat down. He had a half-drank cup of coffee in one hand and a small grouping of papers in the other. Loki sat down, settling himself before looking up at you and beginning the interrogation.Â
âPlease state your name, age, and address.âÂ
You recited the information as told.
âHow many homes a year do you burglarize?" Loki opened a file that was tucked under some papers with a series of pictures printed on a piece of computer paper. It was amalgamation of missing objects from families around Conyers. You were fucked, but you couldn't let him think that, or at least believe that you were guilty in anyway. Your stealing wasn't going to find those girls because you had no idea where in the world they were. You had never seen them before their faces were plastered on every hour of the news.
"Shouldn't my lawyer be here if you are going to accuse me of something?"
"Do you need a lawyer?"
"Do I, Detective?"
It was the attitude that angered him the most. A woman like you didn't need to steal. Based on your records, he had no reason to truly believe you would. Clean record. No screaming signs of intent or distrust popped out but he knew you were guilty. There was not a doubt. But there was something in that attitude that made him squirm. An attractive quality that he did not want to admit.
"If you answer the questions I ask truthfully, then no, you won't need a lawyer."
"Ask away." You leaned back in the chair with arms crossed and a determined narrowness to your eyes. It was a challenge. Try me, Detective. Do it, I dare you.
"When did you first start stealing?"
"When I was seven. My sister always had better stuff, so I took it."
"And that escalated to...what?" Instead of leaning back on his own chair, Loki leaned forward. His shoulders were hunched in an aggressive, intense tactic to scare you into admitting something that you didn't have any part of. He just wanted to find those girls and you happen to be a speed bump in the way.
"Minor petty theft. I never take anything over $500."
"How do you know what something is worth?"
"I'm sure you can find that in my file, Detective. Everything is there I am sure of it. You all know just how to frame the people you want. But I had nothing to do with those girls."
Loki's line of aggravation was growing thin. Sooner or later, attitude wasn't going to cut it and he was going to have to use the tactics he used on Alex Jones and other potential perpetrators on you. He never liked to get outright violent with women, but he couldn't let this go without trying to get something. The days were wearing thin and he needed to find Joy and Anna.
"You were in the Dover's house the night of the abduction. Where are the girls?"
"I told you I didn't have anything to do with that."
"Didn't or don't."
"Doesn't matter. I did not see them. I do not know where they are. Ruining children's lives isn't my MO, Detective-"
"But you do and you did! YOU were in that house. YOU were at the scene of the crime at the time they went missing. YOU are the one who knows what happened to those girls!" His voice was no longer steady and calm as he had been taught during his training. His string had snapped when in response, you laughed.
Loki flew out of his chair, rounded the table as the sound of his chair skidded across the floor and to the wall behind him. If you weren't so focused on him, you probably could have heard the surprised yells of the Detectives and Officers behind the mirror. The angered Detective roughly arrived at his destinationâyou, and grabbed the back of your hair, pulling your head back to look at him as he stood over you.
"Where the fuck are the girls?" It came out like a hiss. His eyes enraged with pain for the families and his own reputation if the case goes wrong and he doesn't find them in enough time. You weren't scared of him or his tactics. Rather, it was quite the opposite. If he wasn't attractive, you would have been disgusted but the man was the epitome of perfection and this scene would be one to get you off for years to come.
"I told you, I don't know where the girls are." He gripped your hair harder and you felt the chair waver underneath you. Still not scared.
"You're a liar, a fucking thief, and I don't believe you. Where are the girls? Do you like that sort of thing, huh? Do-"
"You sick fuck. I'm a thief not a fucking pedophile. I didn't take the girls!" You were slightly taken aback by his suggestion, but it was all a tactic. You had seen it on millions of police shows before. He just wanted answers, but he wasn't going to find them with you. Whatever in the sentence you had just spoken to him, Loki was worse off for it. He practically lifted you by the hair and charged you into the wall roughly. Not enough to leave a mark, but enough to make a point. He wasn't playing around but neither were you.
Loki's hand let go of your hair and one found itself on the wall next to your head as he closed in on you. You could feel his breathe on your face and his eyes pierced your goddamned soul. The other, well the other found itself right on your neck, holding you in place against the wall with a slight squeeze. Holy fuck.
"Keep this up Detective and I would have the means to believe this might lead to something else." The smile, your smile crept up on your face at your own assumption. You wouldn't complain if it did escalate to that.
"TELL ME WHERE THE GIRLS ARE? WHERE IS ANNA? WHERE IS JOY?"
"I told you I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE GIRLS ARE!"
There was something in your own anger that made him want to believe you didn't take the girls or had any clue where they were. He would hate to see a woman like you throw your life away for a career of crime. The proximity between the two of you was next to none. A knife wouldn't have been able to break the tension and the way he held you, unintentionally violent with a hand just a little too suggestively on your neck was a mistake but not one that he was readily going to admit. If this was any other situation, he might have let himself be willing to feel something more. But this was an interrogation, so he kept the face and squeezed just a little harder.
"Where are they? Tell me where they are?"
"Starting to sound like a broken record there. I would tell you again but I'm sure you have my admission of NOT KNOWING WHERE THEY ARE ON TAPE!"
Loki had enough and let your neck go with a jolt. His hands went to his belt where his cuffs were sitting and he pulled them out and turned you around. Your body was flush against the wall and one of his large, tattooed hands held your wrists together as he went to cuff them. This was another thing that would forever be engrained in your "sexy when it shouldn't be" file in your brain.
"Fine. You won't tell me where they are? Maybe a night in lock up will make you think." His voice was low, just at the base of your ear and his hot breath lingered on your neck as you could hear nothing but your heart beating out of your chest and the sound of cuffs closing.
But the man didn't get much further than that because the door to the room opened and like two deer in headlights, you both turned your heads to the sound of the intruder. It was another officer who looked both scared and amused and slightly embarrassed in regard to what he walked in on. He approached Loki as the latter man pulled you off the wall and forward, in front of him to walk toward the door.
"It was the hospital. Joy Birch was just admitted."
The look on Loki's face was priceless. You literally scoffed out loud and turned your face to his.
"I told you I had no fucking idea where they were."
Loki simply passed you over to the other officer and headed to the door, frustrated and confused about his own work and internal feelings about what had just happenedâboth the realization that you had no idea where they were and that he had been aggressive to the point where it kind of turned him on.
"Detective!" He was halfway out the door when you called out to him and if he had a mind, he would have ignored you and continued on, but he was so flustered that he did.
"If you ever want to use those cuffs sometime, you know where to find me."
Loki didn't say anything, but his eyes wandered. From your face to your body to the floor and back up. It was an unashamed look that made the officer uncomfortable, but you couldn't help but let a small, sly smile grace your face at his look. This man would be the end of your criminal career if he managed to find the time to reunite with you again.
And he did. Two days after Keller Dover was found in a hole and on a holiday he knew you were not going to spend with your family.

jjk; off-league
summary; you decide to do a little boudoir photoshoot for yourselfâa little sexy lingerie, some bunny ears, maybe even a little nudity to make you feel more body positive about yourself. that little photoshoot doesnât end up being for yourself anymore when you accidentally send those sexy pictures to your stupidly hot, stupidly talented childhood friend who you havenât spoken to since middle school graduation. pairing; photographer!jk x fem!reader genre/warnings; childhood friends to lovers!au, flangst, mutual pining, feelings of insecurity and body image, suggestive language, nudity w.c; 6.2k a/n: i was feeling a lil meh about this fic after finishing it but a month later it finally makes its debut! for @btsghostiewritersnetâ BGW Bingo Bash! todayâs trope is âchildhood friends to loversâ which surprisingly isnât a favorite of mine so it was definitely a challenge to write!Â
âCâmon, I need your opinion. Deadass. Donât just say shit to make me feel better.âÂ
âGimmie those nudes, baby girl,â Johnny makes an impeccable fuckboy impersonation, making you feel a little squirmy to your stomach.Â
Itâs an hour away from being the ass-crackâo-dawn and your impromptu pin-up photoshoot just needs the sexy-star-of-approval from your best friend. Johnny Suh is also up for reasons unmentioned, but you had a feeling his pretty boyfriend is fifty percent of the reason.Â
You look at yourself in the mirror, smoothing your frame against the black bodice of the sheer teddy. The only parts that are fully concealed are the parts that donât matter. The sheer bodice reveals your pert nipples concealed by a thin black mesh, coupled with the deep V in the sweetheart neckline, accented by a little black bow in the dive of your highlighted cleavage. The silky a-line raceways to a set of black garters hugging your thighs, barely hanging onto a pair of lace thigh-highs.Â
It doesnât leave you butt naked, but enough to make you feel confident about yourself. These pictures are for you, and Johnny. And Johnnyâs boyfriend if heâs being nosy.Â
You tug off the silk bunny ears from your head, flinging it somewhere in your room. The wire started to dig in your brain, giving you a major headache.Â
âSending them now,â you hang up and start compiling the pictures in a folder on Google Drive. Once thatâs done you copy the shareable link, sending it to Johnnyâs number. It happens all so fast, and you feel kind of giddy. As you were posing for the camera, taking your time to find all the right angles, you felt good, you felt sexy in your little get up. Channeling your inner Ariana Grande was one of your childhood dreams, your fifteen year old self would be proud.Â
Five minutes pass, fifteen, and by the twenty-five minute mark youâre pissed. Whatâs taking Johnny so long?Â
Makeup scrubbed clean and face bare, you shuffle in your duvet, far too tired to be waiting up this long. Punching in his number once more, you cry, âHey! Why havenât you looked at them yet?âÂ
âWhat?â your friendâs voice sounds pebbly through the line. Was Johnny sleeping? âYou never sent them!â he whines tiredly.Â
âNo, I definitely sent them!â you pull the phone away and keep Johnny on call, ready to prove him wrong.Â
But to your surprise, the last message you sent to Johnny was this afternoon.Â
The most recent message is to a person named John Kook.Â
You scream.Â
Johnny screams back at you with an equal amount of force, âWhat the fuck? Did someone break in? Are you being mobbed? See, this is why I wanted to put the baby monitor in your roomââÂ
âWorse!â youâre well prepared for any break in, but not for this. âI sent my pics to the wrong John!âÂ
âWell⊠is he at least cute?âÂ
âI mean, in the fourth grade he looked pretty cute with that front tooth missing,â you find your output of frustration, your bunny plush, pulling it by the ear and hitting it against the bed. âHis name isnât even John! It was just his English name for a silly project we did in middle school. This is so embarrassing, all I can picture is a twelve-year-old Jungkook mortified from sexual harassment. I basically sent him nudes!âÂ
âTasteful nudes.âÂ
âIâm gonna die.âÂ
âHeâs gonna die, of happiness.âÂ
Jeon Jungkook was a classmate from elementary through middle school. Time and time again was he the object of your affections, from the first grade at the roller rink to the speech he made at graduation. But really, who cares? Youâre old and have a job, and itâs not like youâve communicated with any of your former classmates.Â
Your horror amplifies when the Delivered receipt is changed to Read 3:41AM.Â
âFuck! Fuck me with a fuckinâ fuck nugget he saw it!â you cry, âdoes he still have my number? What if he deleted my contact, would that be even weirder?âÂ
âGirl, stop.â Johnny sighs, and you can already picture him running his thumb between his brows. âThis doesnât change anything, alright? You two donât know each other anymore. Block his number and go to sleep.âÂ
Johnny leaves you alone after that, and youâre left alone to mull over the implications of sending Jeon Jungkook your nude photoshoot.Â
You do block his number, knowing that waiting for a reply would drive you nuts. The one thing that you do which is possibly worse, is look him up on Instagram.Â
Of course, heâs stupid hot.Â
He doesnât seem to like being on the receiving end of the camera however, in favor of his timeline being filled with romantic shots of the beach and city. In between the picturesque views and watercolor sunsets do you see glimpses of him and his current life. You canât help but smile when you see him with his brother and parents during his college graduation, easily towering over all of them. He looks tall with fluffy cocoa hair, big pearly whites gleaming proudly at the camera. He grew up well.Â
To torture yourself even more, you even look through his story. Twelve hours ago, he was at the gym lifting weights. Normally, youâd be disgusted by people trying to show off their grunt faces drenched in sweat, but of course Jungkook has to have on a silly smile and pump his fist up after he deadlifts. The sweat clinging to his shirt is also a high plus. His gorgeous display of abs has your hands fluttering over your own belly. Maybe you need to exercise more.Â
Four hours ago, you see him and a pretty woman with their cheeks squished together, using the puppy filter. Of course he has a girlfriend.Â
Reluctant, you open up your Google Drive and scroll through your photoshoot. Deflated, you frown at the pictures that once made you beam with pride, picking at every little detail that bothered you. You really canât believe you sent these to Jeon Jungkook, no longer a fourth grader with one front tooth, but a man way out of your league.Â
By the time you will yourself to sleep, the sun peeks from the horizon, telling you to move on.Â
âHey Gyu,â you tiptoe over to the table much too small for Mingyuâs frame. The string bean is slumped over his iPad pro, drawing intently at some chibi OCs. âGot a plot for that one?â you ask, pointing at the little pink and blue creature decorating the screen.Â
Mingyu grunts in reply, obviously engrossed. It isnât until you slide him a matcha frappe from Starbucks that he becomes intelligible, muttering a âthank youâ as he blends with his pen.Â
Sensing that itâs going to be awhile before you get through to him, you take your usual rounds around the front desk and lobby of the cosy photo studio. Thereâs pretty pictures of Mingyuâs work, along with the other employees Minghao and Hoseok. Each section of the wall features a different taste of each personâs interest. Mingyu is a divine lover of soft bed sheets and hot tea, many of his photographs and paintings featuring cafes or perfectly messy beds youâve seen on hotel advertisements. Minghao is a tasteful artisan, splotches of color retaliating against neutral backgrounds. Finally, Hoseok manages to find balance in the people, large cityscapes telling both large and small stories.
âAlright,â Mingyuâs deep voice forces you to curl your head, where heâs sipping at his drink with haste. âWhatâcha here for?âÂ
You frown, âDonât you remember? I told you last week Iâd be stopping by to get my photos developed,â you gesture to the Pentax in your hands, an heirloom from your great-aunt. While you did take digital photos for sending them to Johnny, the ones you wanted developed were taken side-by-side with the film camera. You figured that film would give a little more authenticity to your photoshoot.Â
âShit, thatâs today?â the camera falls like deadweight, slapping against your sweater as you watch Mingyu frantically look through his digital calendar. He looks at you, dejected. âHow many prints?âÂ
âI donât know, maybe like six. Or eight?âÂ
âThatâs gonna take too long, Iâm heading down to Hidden Grounds for a vision meeting at two.âÂ
âAlright, Iâm free all day. What about after?â
âNah, you came all this way. I can just let the new guy help you.â and Mingyu makes a show of cupping his hands in the direction of the open hallway, âYah, Jeon Jungkook! Get your cute ass out here!âÂ
The Pentax around your neck suddenly feels like weight akin to a two-ton boulder, and you surge forward, not caring that the corner of the table is digging into your belly. âMingyu,â you garble, and Mingyu is shell-shocked by the desperation in your eyes. âIsnât Minghao around or something? Or I can come back another time? These photos are really personal and I donât feel comfortable having a stranger see them.â
âWhat? Weâre professionals, donât belittle us.âÂ
âNo, seriously,â you whine, you tug at the collar of his denim jacket, noses practically touching. âThese pictures are different. My tits are out and my legs are spreadââ
ââinterrupting something?âÂ
You hear some shuffling, and you turn around to see Jeon Jungkookâs back, comically turned to face the entrance.Â
And damn, he did have a cute ass. Nothing is going to hide the glory in those jeans, absolutely nothing.Â
âHilarious,â Mingyu drawls, and you push him away. âForget it, Kook. She doesnât feel comfortable letting a stranger develop her photos.âÂ
Sensing that itâs safe to turn around, you watch as his black bangs flutter as he faces you. You hope your body language doesnât betray how youâre really feeling, because you are a mere mortal and youâre weak in the presence of god-like figures.Â
âOh, what a relief then,â he smiles at you, and his voice sounds like honey. If there was malice or surprise in his tone, his good-natured expression betrays it. âBecause Iâve known this friend since elementary school. We go way back.âÂ
You ignore the burn in the back of your head, as you are positive Mingyu knows youâre hiding something.Â
âReally, what a coincidence.â Mingyu replies carefully, and you feel utterly stuck between these men and their banter, locked up like cream in an Oreo cookie.Â
Nothing argues against Jungkook as he easily weaves through the thick wave of awkwardness, hands reaching out to touch your camera. âWow,â he marvels, holding the object in his hands, âmy dad has one of these.âÂ
âA-ha,â you take a step back, only to bump into the corner of the table, again. Ouch. âItâs okay, Jungkook. Iâm actually busy today so I can come when Mingyuâs freeââ
âOh, I thought you were free all day,â Mingyu drawls, looking up through his lashes as he sips languidly at his drink.Â
âDonât worry about it,â Jungkook says good-naturedly, as if Mingyu just didnât out you. âWe got a lot of catching up to do anyway, câmon.âÂ
Jungkook moves to place a hand in the small of your back and thatâs enough to get you to rev up. Refusing to let any contact get between the two of you, you zip ahead down the familiar hallway, turning your head to catch Mingyu grinning with all canines, shooing you with his fingers like a puppy.Â
You send Mingyu a stream of âfuck yousâ into his inbox for later, unwilling to settle with this curse. Busying yourself with your phone, you avoid eye contact with Jungkook until you reach the dark room. The red light turned off at the top of the doorhenge signals that the room is not in use. Jungkook makes a move to open the door and thatâs when you pounce, blocking the doorway with your small body. Itâs comical, really.Â
Jungkook raises a brow at you, but says nothing.Â
âI really can wait, Jungkook,â you steel yourself, forcing a sympathetic smile. âIâm sure your girlfriend wouldnât like you developing my picturesââ
Itâs then that his pretty cupidâs bow unfurls into a full-fledged grin. âGirlfriend... youâve been keeping tabs on me?âÂ
âFuck, well I had to!â your face is as red as the dark roomâs alert light, now on because Jungkook flicked the switch and heâs between your arm to unlock the door. Your hand brushes his as you both reach the knob. âIâm really really sorry I sent those pictures. They were for Johnnyâyou remember Johnny Suh from English class? And I saved you in my contacts as âJohn Kookâ so it was an honest mess up.âÂ
Jungkook hums, so light that the breathiness in his chords flutters your grip on the knob. He forces the door ajar, and youâre left to follow him in the dark room, cluttered with solutions and fancy equipment.Â
âThought so,â Jungkook shrugged, giving a one-over at the materials in the room, mulling over his next steps in developing your film.Â
Youâre still petrified at the doorway, holding your Pentax between both hands like a lifeline. Jungkookâs head lols to you, and you get a pretty view of the way his bangs brush over his forehead, Adamâs Apple bobbing. His expression is a little tired, but overall unreadable. He sighs your name, lethargic.Â
âWeâre already here, so might as well get this done,â he gestures to the camera in your vice grip. âDo you wanna pick the shots or do you want me to?âÂ
Heâs already seen the digitals, whatâs so different about getting a couple prints? With a slight pout you drag your feet over to him, relinquishing your camera. âIâm thinking you have a better eye for this than I do.âÂ
âYou think right.âÂ
You fight the urge to roll your eyes. Cocky, but what youâve seen on Instagram definitely justifies his sentiment. Jungkook pays no mind to you, busying his hands with the various containers in front of him, measuring the solutions for the developer, stopper, and fixer. You were always entranced by the process of developing film, especially in highschool where their photography club holed themselves in the darkroom like a secret lair.Â
âAlright,â he pops open the canister, carefully laying out sections of the film in groups of four. âWant me to pick a random one for a tester?âÂ
You frown, âAt least put some thought into it.âÂ
âAlways,â it looks like he already decided way before he popped the question, immediately taking a negative and placing it in the carrier.Â
His fingers are nimble as he takes the time to clean off the dust and any debris that could potentially ruin the image. Then he turns off the lights and begins the process. You dive around him, trying to keep your distance but still too curious to leave his side. If heâs annoyed he fails to show it, in favor of humming whatever song comes from his Echo Dot.Â
You always got the solos in choir. You wanted to reminisce, but youâre too nervous to say it out loud.Â
Even though itâs his job and heâs being a professional, you romanticize the experience, watching as he carefully puts the print in each liquid process. Your image blooms to life, and you feel your stomach churn as the photo develops before your eyes.Â
After a final dip in the solution stopper, he places the first product in a bath of water. Even though you are mere centimeters away, you can clearly see the image of you swimming around the container.Â
âAlright!â Jungkook hangs the finished picture on a pastel pink clothespin, tacking it in place. âWhaddya think?âÂ
Your breath catches in your throat, feeling heavy as you look at the image of you reflected in the glossy paper. Youâre perched on your bed, a hand splaying between your legs as the other hand toys with the silk bunny ears. Youâre leaned slightly, giving an ample view of your cleavage. However, the image of you is definitely different from being blown up in comparison to the negatives, and you squirm uncomfortably at your full display.Â
âI look,â you bite your tongue, internally debating whether you like it or not. Not to spare Jungkook the theatrics you shrug, âItâs good.â Â
The lack of enthusiasm seems to dissatisfy Jungkook however, as he has to take a double take and look back and forth between the image and the real thing. âWhatâs wrong with it, do you think Johnnyâll not like it?âÂ
âWhat?â you furrow your brows, breaking into a nervous laugh. âJohnny has a boyfriend. I just wanted his opinion. This photoshoot is for me, yâknow? Just something to make me feel good about myself.âÂ
Jungkookâs lips morph into a little âoâ, and you see a little bit of the child you once knew in the way heâs mulling over the situation.Â
âThen can I give you my honest opinion?â Jungkook clips off the half-dried photo, holding it between you two. âStop thinking so hard about every little thing you donât like about yourself. If I was your boyfriend and you gifted this to me, Iâd be creaming my pants. You look fucking sexy, all grown up since you cried in the fourth grade.âÂ
Youâve just been flung a litany of words you have no brain capacity to digest. Along with that, the immense heat you didnât know youâve been suppressing surges to your belly, low and simmering. Jungkook stares at you in earnest, despite his sudden gush of honesty, you donât know what to say. Thereâs a dash of pink staining his cheeks, betraying the confidence he previously displayed. He stiffens when you donât reply immediately and moves to clean his materials, his sudden bout of bold honesty quickly shrinking.Â
âY-you know,â you look down at your feet, âthe only reason why I cried in the fourth grade was because you told me Santa wasnât real.âÂ
Jungkook softens, tilting his head. âSorry about that.âÂ
âThanks though,â you gently reach for the photo in Jungkookâs grasp, looking at it without contempt. âBut wonât your girlfriend be upset if she knew you were saying things like this about someone else?âÂ
He chuckles, shaking his head. âWell, if you looked through the rest of my Instagram story,â Jungkooks cards a hand through his already mussed hair, splitting the ends. âYou would see that sheâs not my girlfriend, but my tattoo artist.âÂ
For added measure, he wiggles his fingers in front of you, revealing pretty ink and silver bands across his knuckles.
âOh,â your voice is feather light, and youâre sure youâre drooling as you stare far too long at the letters that mark his hands, curious as to what they symbolize.Â
âSo, as a singleton telling another singleton,â he continues, âI know itâs meaningless if you donât believe it yourself, but Iâm telling you, youâre attractive.âÂ
âThanks,â you hold the picture tightly in your grasp, eyes flickering to the negatives in the room ready to be galvanized into a full-fledged picture. âWhy donât we wrap this up, huh? We can continue another time.âÂ
If he notices how much the paper wilts in your grasp, he doesnât comment on it. âAre you sure? I know it takes a lot of time, but I donât mind.âÂ
âIâm sure,â you force a smile, one hand on the lightswitch. âIâll let you know when Iâm ready, okay?âÂ
Jungkook swallows, nodding mechanically. âOkay.âÂ
âIt was really nice seeing you, Kook.â you blurt before you could chicken out, letting the room bask in darkness a little longer so he canât see your flustered state. âIâm not even going to downplay it, you look great.âÂ
You half-expect a cocky remark, or a little chest pumping from the compliment. At the sound of his nickname however, 4th grade Jeon Jungkook resurfaces and he shoves his hands in his pockets. âLike I said, so do you,â he replies easily, sending you a soft smile and opening the door for you.Â
The door closes shut behind you and you exhale, patting your cheeks and willing for the chilly air to calm you down.Â
When you get home that day, you shuck off all your clothes and crawl into bed. You cry out when the metal framing of your bunny ears stabs you in the back, and you fling it to some unmentionable part of the room. You reach for a bag of half-opened sour gummy worms, flipping open your MacBook to continue streaming the soft magical girl anime youâve been hooked on these past few weeks.Â
Not even Sailor Uranus can distract you; however, by the time itâs dark and youâve run out of distractions, you finally pull the plug and unblock Jungkook from your list of contacts.Â
Your phone buzzes, the incessant vibration relaying all the messages youâve missed.Â
[March 12th, 3:53AM]
You: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0343âŠ
John Kook: ???Â
John Kook: you probably sent this to me by accident⊠sorry i clicked on it

John Kook: are u mad
John Kook: youâre mad

John Kook: im making it weird.Â
[March 31st, 6:24 PM]
John Kook: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/049âŠ
You tilt your head at the folder link, it was sent only a few hours ago. With a click, youâre enlightened to a set of digital photos. Your photos from your photoshoot, but not quite. Theyâve been expertly edited, not too much to distort your looks, but only to enhance your features. A small, barely there smile creeps from your subconscious, ultimately touched by the gesture.Â
John Kook: sorry if i pushed too hard today.Â
Guilt overrides your nerves, prompting you to immediately press the call button on his contact. Not to your surprise, Jungkookâs light voice calls your name through the line after the second ring.Â
âDonât be sorry,â you blurt, forgoing the hellos. âIt was the right amount of push, I feel better, really. If anything, Iâm sorry. I blocked your number because I was scared to read your reaction.âÂ
You hear him sigh along the line, and you feel that breath ripple through your nerves, as if heâs right next to you. âItâs fine, I wouldâve done the same thing.âÂ
âThe pictures you just sent, theyâre really beautiful. You did a good job.âÂ
âThanks, I had a bit of help. I didnât have to do much.âÂ
âOh, did Mingyu come back from his meeting?âÂ
"No, I uh," Jungkook chuckles, and while you don't really know why, the sound is nonetheless pleasant. âIt was mostly the lighting and coloring I fixed up. Didnât need to do much since you already looked so pretty as it is.âÂ
You choke on your saliva.Â
âYou okay?â
âY-yeah,â you cough, âjust choked on a snack I was eating.â he hums in reply, and you pray he doesnât hear your stomach fervently retort that you havenât eaten since lunch. âSo, I think Iâm up for developing more of the film. When can I drop by?âÂ
âIâm free Saturday,â Jungkook chirps, âI have a shoot until noon but you can come anytime after that.âÂ
âSounds good, Iâll be there,â you clutch the phone with both hands. âI can bring lunch. What do you like to eat?âÂ
âOh, you donât have to do that.â
âIâm already buying for Minghao,â you lie, âdo you like burgers?âÂ
âI canât say no to a good burger,â Jungkookâs smile feels almost palpable against the line, âdo you remember our field trip to the national museum of history? We had burgers on the street!âÂ
âOh, those were so good,â you moan, fuzzy memories of a middle grade field trip resurfacing to clarity, âbut you ate like, ten of them!â
âI still get nightmares,â he warns, âdonât let me go to bed like this.âÂ
You giggle, letting your body meld further into your warm mattress. âMaybe Iâll just show up with ten burgers for you tomorrow.âÂ
âIâll throw up on you, try me.âÂ
Minghaoâs adjusting the frames on their display wall by the centimeter, and itâs pissing him off.Â
âAh, itâs off,â he mutters to himself when you walk in, indicated by the electronic bell. He turns to you briefly, pulling a leveler out of his overall pocket. âDoesnât this look off?âÂ
âUh,â you look towards Mingyu at the front desk, who is paying no mind as he continues scribbling on his iPad. You tilt your head towards your former college classmate. âIt doesnât look off from over here?âÂ
Tacking the leveler on one of the frames, he whines, âItâs five degrees off.âÂ
Mingyu puts his pen down to reach over the counter and grab the paper from your hands, steaming with the scent of fast food, âHeâs been like this for hours, donât mind him.âÂ
He doesnât even ask whether the food is his, Mingyu sees grease and he claims. Reaching for an oil-wrapped parchment, he unfolds the paper to reveal a handsome burger with all the fix-ens.Â
Barely satisfied, Minghao steps away from the art display. There is a sizable gap in the display, now divided between four artists instead of three. You wonder how Jungkookâs work will look amongst the other artists.Â
âCute âfit.â Minghao mumbles, nodding approvingly at your clothes as he digs into the bag for his own burger.Â
You send a half-smile his way. If an outfit is Minghao-approved, that means youâve gone above and beyond. At least, you tried to play it off like you didnât try to look cute. Itâs not like youâre intimidated by Jungkook, living with a major fifteen-year glow up. After all, heâs already seen more than you can imagine.Â
Mingyu takes notice, eyes going south to where your white blouse meets your cleavage. You hurl a fry at his face, âEyes up here, perv.âÂ
He scrunches his nose, lifting a greasy thumb to slide a manila envelope over to you. âHereâs the developed pictures. Intercepted Kook and I finished them this morning.âÂ
You frown, âJungkookâs not done with his photoshoot yet?âÂ
âOh, heâs been done.â Mingyuâs eyes roll back to one of the studios. âBut Iâm saying is, you got what you needed. So you can leave if you want,â but he grins at you, canines so sharp you feel his stare jabbing you in the proverbial neck. âUnlesssss you want to go in and say hi.âÂ
If he has any inkling of whatâs going on in your head, itâs definitely confirmed when your face turns hot. Damn body, youâre betraying me! With a flourish you grab the fries from under Mingyuâs nose, along with whateverâs left in the fast food bag.Â
Minghaoâs smiling through his burger, knowing if he pulls any type of savagery his lunch would certainly be pulled from under his chin.Â
âWhatever youâre thinking, drop it or the burger will be going in your ass instead of out.â You mean to sound menacing, but the Min-squared and their boisterous laughter follow you down the hallway and into the occupied studio.Â
âHey Jungkooâwow.â
Youâre sure you look like Alice, enthralled by the little wonderland she just stepped into. The set is beautiful, right out of a fairytale. It has a very old-romance vibe, like Morticia and Gomez Addams. There lay a couch made of the darkest, richest wood, with velvet red cushions covering the body. Across the floor laid hundreds of black rose petals, blanketing the floor in a sea of ebony.Â
âItâs for a wedding, gothic themed.â Jungkook supplies helpfully, still fiddling with whatever he was looking on his digital camera. Heâs looking utterly soft in a matching grey sweat combination, something that would easily disgust you during high school, but unfairly works with him.Â
âThe shoot mustâve been beautiful.âÂ
âIt was.âÂ
âI uh, got this for you.â Your fingers start to sweat from clutching the bag so hard, and you place it on his work table.Â
He finally looks up from his camera, giving you a wan smile. âI thought you got those for Minghao.âÂ
You mentally slap your cheeks, trying to ignore the way his smile made your stomach do somersaults. âHe got his own. Your portion has a cookie in it, so.âÂ
His cute teeth unveil themselves at the mention of sweets, and you canât help but smile back at the familiarity.Â
The two of you take your time in enjoying your lunch, not meaning to stay but the very back of your mind hoping heâd like to share a meal with you. After all, Mingyu and Minghao are probably at the front relishing in your very obvious attraction. What can you say, first crushes never die.Â
Between sips of your milkshake, youâve taken to flipping through Jungkookâs portfolio. Thereâs a myriad of different subjects: beaches, people, the occasional squirrel. Each section of the portfolio feels like youâre being transported to a new side of Jungkook and his artistry, and you ached to know more.Â
âWow,â you point at an action shot of two girls in a dance studio, âthis duo looks like Chungha and Hyoyeon.âÂ
He swallows his (second) burger, having the audacity to sink sheepishly in his sweater. âIt is Chungha and Hyoyeon.âÂ
You nearly choke on your cookie. âThatâs amazing.â you say breathlessly, looking closer at the image. In fact, the beautiful women photographed are famed hip-hop choreographers Chungha and Hyoyeon. You canât imagine how good Jungkook must be to manage a photoshoot with them.Â
As proud as you are of Jungkook, it reminds you that since middle school you two have lived completely different lives. You wonder if Jungkook gets these kinds of gigs all the time, hanging around with gorgeous, talented people like himself.
Jungkook says your name once, twice. He looks at you concerned, and youâre melting in his large carmine eyes. If he notices your usual overthinking, he doesnât say anything, and gestures to the section at the end of his portfolio. âThis isnât my best work, but itâs one of my favorites.âÂ
Thereâs something familiar about this set. A playground with a busted swing set. Children riding on bikes and colorful class shirts. Ice cream melting on fists.Â
Thirteen-year-old you hanging on top of your middle schoolâs leafless tree, clutching your baseball cap as you shade yourself from the sunset.Â
âWas this the first time you took pictures?â you ask, thumbing the picture of yourself.Â
âYeah. Itâs when I decided itâs what I wanted to do the rest of my life.âÂ
âI know we didnât know each other that well and weâve only recently connected but,â you give him a shy smile, âIâm really proud of what youâve grown up to be, Jungkook.âÂ
He looks like youâve hung him the moon and stars, his half-eaten burger loosening in his grasp. His lips are parted cutely, like a kitten whoâs just been offered a fresh glass of milk. You cough at the sudden pause in conversation, feeling self-conscious of your impulse confession. You donât even have it in you to be disgusted when Jungkook hastily shoves the second half of his burger down his throat, tips of his ears pink.Â
Leaving him be, you press a palm to your cheek, looking at the wedding set.Â
Jungkook downs half a water bottle before he speaks again. âYâknow, it would be a shame to clean up this set already. It was kind of expensive.âÂ
âYeah,â you echo, standing up and kicking off your slippers. You kick your feet in the air, watching the black petals kiss across your ankles.
âI have an idea,â he wipes his hands on his sweats, âwhy donât you go back home and get an outfit you really like. Lingerie, a cute outfit, whatever. Let me give you a photoshoot youâd love.âÂ
You look up from your petal dance, balking. âJungkook! Thatâs not necessary, I told you the photos I took were okay.âÂ
âYeah but, you didnât seem entirely happy. Câmon, I got a camera and a beautiful set. Why waste it?â his hands naturally gravitate towards his charging camera, already turning it on. âI can do lighting, I know all your good angles. Whatâs stopping us?âÂ
Really, whatâs stopping you? Your hands fiddle with your open flannel, the soft material comforting you as you look across the set. You try to imagine yourself, your body draped across the velvet pillows and black petals. Would it look good? Would you feel good? You think back to how you felt the first time, how scared you were when someone other than Johnny would be looking at your photos. You remember how something weird and sour contorted in your stomach when you scrolled through Jeon Jungkookâs Instagram, no longer the little boy you knew but a man who could have everything he wantedâ
âStop thinking about it.â Jungkook suddenly snaps, and you break from your reverie to catch him looking upset. Itâs been awhile since youâve seen him like that.Â
âThinking about what?â
âThinking that youâre out of my league.â
âExcuse me?âÂ
âYou were like this the other day too,â and he looks sad, and puts his camera down to come closer to you. âWhy are you feeling this way. Is it me?âÂ
âNot necessarily,â you huff, hugging yourself.
âDo you not feel beautiful? Do you not like your body?âÂ
âNo, I do.â you say to yourself, and you mean it. Even though there will inevitably be days where you may not feel one-hundred percent positive about yourself, you know at the end of the day, you love you and all its parts. âI donât know, Jungkook. I had no problem letting Mingyu develop the photos originally, because he knew me in college and I was already sure of myself back then. But I guess when I sent them to you, I felt like I did when I was a little girl, yâknow? Going through puberty, and worrying about what other people think.âÂ
And itâs not like Jungkook teased you or made you feel lesser of yourself. In fact, Jungkook was the student you wanted to be when you were younger. Someone sweet and caring, and unabashedly confident about himself.Â
âI guess seeing you so successful and the fact that my stupid childhood crush came back from a time where I always felt low, made me feel a little insecure again.âÂ
Something sinks in and you feel hyper aware of how crushed Jungkook looks at your declaration. âThereâs no leagues, you got that?â he says quietly, walking so close that heâs hovering over you, sneakers brushing. âI get it. I get unsure and insecure just like you. Hell, I was nervous this morning, wondering if youâd really come. We may not feel insecure over the same things, but middle school wasnât that great for me either.â He makes a funny face, and you feel a smile twitch across your lips. âBut itâs okay. Because weâre human and we grow. But now, you are successful. Youâve grown from your time growing up and youâre a wonderful, powerful person. Iâm proud of you too.âÂ
âI know,â you mumble, leaning your forehead against his chest. His arms wrap around you in response, holding you snug.
âAnd for the record, I thought you were the most beautiful person in the world in fourth grade. Even though my world was pretty small back then, I can say now that what I thought back then still stands true.âÂ
You look up from his embrace, where heâs leaning down to press a slow, cotton soft kiss to your forehead. He backs up a little to read your face, and you give a tiny nod in response to signal itâs okay. Jungkook exhales in contentment, relaxing against your frame.Â
âThanks, Kook,â you crack a smile, feeling your insecurities slowly evaporate. You feel better, light, knowing that these negative feelings are only temporary, and youâre not alone. Being in Jungkookâs arms, an honest boy turned man youâve known all your life, it feels almost like home.Â
You two stay like this for a while. Exchanging feather-like kisses, feeling irrevocably young and hopeful. Suddenly feeling emboldened, you tug him by the strings of his hoodie to press a long, hot kiss to his lips. Thereâs a stutter, and youâre pretty sure Jungkook choked on his saliva at the sudden change of pace but you continue, letting Jungkook catch up and follow your lead.Â
âWow,â Jungkook pulls away and his lips are shiny and flushed. Adorable. You think 7th grade Jungkook would be rolling in his Naruto sheets if he knew you two would inevitably end up together. Conversely, 7th grade you would be squealing in your kitten plushie, proud that you managed to nab your childhood crush to live out all the fantasies youâve imagined since the 4th grade.Â
âJungkook,â you let your flannel fall to the floor in a heap, only leaving your baby blue top in a thin ruched camisole. âI think I want to do the photoshoot. Canât pass up these pretty petals, yâknow?âÂ
He runs a hand through his hair, gaping. âReally?âÂ
âYeah,â you press a wet kiss to his neck, âanyway you want me, baby. Full creative control. I want you to like this as much as I do, okay?âÂ
With the permission to hold the wheel, Jungkookâs lightheaded and spinning. His eyes rake up and down your gorgeous form, wondering how many good deeds heâs done in his past life to earn a right just as this.Â
âIn that case,â he presses a palm to your shoulder, pushing you to sit along the velvet cushion, âstrip for me.âÂ

Words: 2893
Summary:Â Andy spends an evening with y/n and learns about her hopes, dreams, and sexual relations
Andy Barber was straightening his tie against his grey button down when he walked into the hallway from his bedroom, the smell of bacon wafting through his nostrils as he followed the scent to the kitchen.
âGood morning, Andy.â Y/Nâs voice held that sickening sweet seduction he had gotten used to over the past few days. It was seven oâclock in the morning, and the fact that she sounded so chipper had Andy amused. His son was not a morning person, neither were any of the other boys staying with them.
He turns the corner towards the kitchen counter and takes in the sight of her. Sheâs ready for her first day as an intern for him, though her outfit doesnât seem to be the most conservative for an attorneyâs office. Her tight black skirt with white lines is barely covering her ass, and thereâs a small slit up the right side that is showing more skin, if thatâs even possible. Sheâs paired it with a simple black tank top that is cropped to reveal just the tiniest bit of skin on her abdomen, his eyes trailing down her toned legs to her black strappy stilettos that finish off the look. Andy has to look away and busy himself with his briefcase in order to stop himself from coming in his trousers.
âMorning, y/n.â He chokes out, reorganizing the files in a folder he had pulled out. Y/N slides a plate beside him, her heels clicking against the hardwood floor as she walks directly to his side, holding out a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
He takes the cup in his hand appreciatively, eyeing the plate of bacon, eggs, and toast that she had slid over to him. âThank you, but you didnât have to do any of this.â Andy takes a sip of coffee before setting his mug down beside the plate, picking up the fork and knife before diving into the meal.
âI know I didnât have to, but we canât let you go to the office on an empty stomach, right boss?â She teased, her manicured nails tapping gently on the counter next to him. God how he wished to feel those nails scratching against his scalp.
âWell thank you.â He responds, trying not to think about how she had just called him boss and how it made it incredibly wrong to be thinking about her like he had. The past few days had been rough, watching y/n saunter around the house in her sinful outfits, teasing the other boys and stealing glances in Andyâs direction. He had fucked into his fist every night since he saw her in that damn bikini.
As Andy finished eating y/n cleaned up the dishes, drying them and putting them away where they belonged in the appropriate cabinets and drawers. She was eager for her first day in the office, and honestly happy to be working somewhere where she was already familiar with the boss.Â
âThat was great, y/n, thank you again.â He wiped his mouth off on a napkin before pulling his briefcase shut, y/n taking his plate and mug and cleaning them in the sink before drying her hands.
âAnytime, I appreciate the carpooling to work as well.â Her fingers reached for her purse on the edge of the counter, following Andy out into the garage and sliding into the passenger seat of his pristine Audi. It was much flashier than her ten-years-too-old Ford Focus. She could get used to this lifestyle for the rest of the summer.
Andy and y/n spent the entire drive to the office making small talk, while Andy tried his hardest not to glance at her supple thighs in her thin skirt. Soon enough they arrived at the office, Andy gesturing for y/n to follow him inside the large office building.
Passing through the doors, Andy says a quick hello to the colleagues he passed, waving them over to gather inside their large conference room.
âAlright everyone, Iâll make this quick. This is y/n, sheâs our new intern for the summer so please, be kind and help her to get the most out of her time here.â Andyâs eyes scanned the crowd of people, noticing the way the men in the office all lusted over her, their eyes dark with attraction.
As Andy dismissed everyone, Neal fucking Loguidice strides forward with confidence, extending his hand out to y/nâs. âNeal Loguidice, itâs a pleasure to meet you.â Y/N seems to be enjoying the attention, standing up straighter as she takes his hand in hers. âThank you, Neal. The pleasure is all mine.â
âHow about I show you around the office? You know, as an assistant district attorney I can answer any questions you have about this place.â Before Andy can protest, Neal puts a hand on the small of y/nâs back, guiding her out of the conference room and walking her down the hall. Andy hates the way he grits his teeth, the hand not holding his briefcase forming into a tight fist by his side. Why was he even jealous? He had no reason to be, didnât he?
Andy spent the rest of the morning answering phone calls and meeting with clients, though he couldnât help but keep his eyes trained on y/n anytime he left his office. She had picked up lunch for the entire department, created copies for a staff meeting, and was unfortunately still being followed around by that slithering snake Neal. Who did he think he was?
He tried not to let it get to him, but as he walked past y/nâs makeshift desk after a coffee break, he watched as Neal leaned over her. He was teaching her how to scan documents to their respective folders, his eyes staring directly down y/nâs shirt to catch a glimpse of her perky tits. That was it, he had had enough.
âNeal.â Andy clenched his jaw as he spoke, watching as the manâs eyes lingered briefly still on y/nâs tits before meeting his gaze. âA word in my office. Now.â He barked.
Neil walked with confidence into Andyâs office, shutting the door behind him before slumping into the chair in front of Andyâs desk, a smug smile plastered on his face. âWhat can I do for you, Andrew?â Neal challenged, crossing his left leg over his right.
âYou need to keep your eyes and your hands to yourself with y/n, itâs disgusting and sheâs one of my sonâs best friends. Iâm not going to let you disrespect her like that, and neither would HR if they found out.â He growled, his eyes growing dark. Neal puts his hands up in protest before he stands, backing towards the door.
âWhoa, those are some big accusations without any evidence, Barber. I was just showing our intern around.â Heâs still got that smug look on his face that Andy wishes to smack off him, though he knows he canât. Neal opens the office door, walking out and heading back to his own office, leaving y/n to work by herself at her desk.
It was fucked up that he was lecturing Neal about the way he looked at y/n while knowing heâd jerked off into his hand every night fantasizing about her. But he wasnât acting on anything, it was just some harmless fantasies, he was newly divorced after all. This was just lust, wasnât it?
The rest of the day went by fast, Andy moving from meeting to meeting with clients and y/n working diligently on getting acquainted with their latest cases and filing the paperwork into the appropriate folders on their server.
Andy shut his office door a little after six oâclock, locking it behind him before strolling over to where y/n sat at her desk, texting on her phone.
âAre you ready to head out for the evening?â He asked, watching as she stood up beside him, only a couple of inches shorter than him in her heels.
âYes, Jacob just texted me. Him and the guys are out bar hopping with some, as he put it, âabsolute tensâ and wonât be home until late.â She follows him out of the office building, watching as he locks the front doors behind them before sauntering over to the passenger side of his car.
âThatâs fine, why donât I order us some takeout, I know a little place by the house that serves the best pad thai.â Andy and y/n get into the car as he starts it up, the vehicle roaring to life under them. âI would love that, thank you.âÂ
Itâs a quiet ride back to the office, y/n scrolling through Instagram as the radio plays softly, the car filled with the lyrics to a Lady Gaga song. Andy parks the car back in its usual spot in the garage before walking inside and dropping his briefcase on the counter.
âIâm gonna take a quick shower, Iâll order the food when I get out and then we can relax, Iâm sure today was a lot for you to take in.â Andy assured, loosening the tie around his neck.
âThat sounds great, thank you Andy.â Y/N bounds up the stairs as well, letting her body muscles relax under the heat of the shower. Downstairs, Andy is doing the same, except heâs got a cold shower running to rid him of his thoughts from the day. How y/nâs skirt would ride up as she bent down to pull a copy from the copier, the way her lips pursed, and brows furrowed perfectly as she focused on her computer screen. How did her little actions send his brain into such a tizzy?
It wasnât long before he had calmed his thoughts and pulled on a pair of grey sweats and a navy-blue t-shirt, calling the restaurant and placing a delivery order for two pad thai dinners. As Andy waited for the food to arrive he sat down on the couch, fumbling with his phone until he heard footsteps from the stairs, his eyes trailing over the silky baby blue short shorts and front-tied top that barely covered her breasts, her nipples hard through the fabric.
âIs the food here yet?â She asked, plopping down beside Andy on the couch, her leg just barely grazing him as she sat. Just as Andy went to reply the doorbell rang, immediately standing up and grabbing his wallet from the counter. He pulled the heavy front door open, greeting the gentleman and handing over the money, including a generous tip, in exchange for the bag of food.Â
As he walked back into the living room, he noticed y/n had gotten up and placed two bottles of beer on the coffee table, careful to include the thick grey coasters below them.
âThanks.â He mumbled, emptying the contents of the bag onto the table before handing over one of the takeout boxes to her. She opened it delicately, her fork twisting into the container before pulling out some of the contents and chewing it thoughtfully.
They both sat in silence for a few minutes, the only sounds being the scraping of their silverware and the occasional movement of a beer bottle on and off the coasters. âSoâŠâ Andy started, swallowing a bite of his dish. âWhat made you want to be an attorney? Sânot very often that I see someone interested in the profession.â Or someone like her, he meant, though he tried not to come off as if a woman like her couldnât do the job.
There was an expression that flashed across y/nâs face, something he hadnât seen yet, a twinge of sadness? âLife circumstances. I actually want to be a defense attorney, specifically.â Andy finished taking a swig from his beer, setting it back down.
âInteresting, are you from the area? Or, at least, close to Columbia?â He questioned.
âNo, Iâm from Ohio actually. Itâs a shit place, only really good for driving through to get to your destination.â Y/N set her half-eaten container on the table, sitting back against the couch.
âYour family must miss you, with you all the way at Columbia.â
âMy aunt and I talk every day, sânot much to miss.â Y/N responded; brows knitted into a frown.
âThatâs not true, Iâm sure she misses you. What about your parents? Iâm sure they miss you when youâre gone too.â
That struck a nerve with y/n, she didnât talk about her family to anyone, she hadnât even told Jacob or the other guys about her family life. Something about Andy made her feel comfortable, though, her eyes focused on her lap while she picked at a loose hangnail.
âWell, thatâs kinda why I wanted to become a defense attorney. My uh-my dad used to beat the shit out of my mom when I was younger.â Her face flashes a few different emotions, pain, anger, guilt, as she swallows a lump in her throat. âDonât really know why he wouldâve been with her in the first place, whatâs the point of wanting to be with someone if you just want to pummel their face every day?â Andy listened intently; his food abandoned on the coffee table as well.
Y/N isnât sure whether to continue with the story or not, deciding sheâd already gotten through the first part, might as well finish. âI went to my auntâs one day, I was nine at the time, and my aunt got a call and she wasâŠbeside herself.â She pauses, lips pressed in a grim line. âI guess my mom wanted to leave my dad and he went ballistic, loaded his pistol and emptied a few shots into her. She didnât survive, of course, and my dad got life without parole.â Y/N cleared her throat.
âAnyhow, I went to live with my aunt, excelled in school, got nearly a full ride to Columbia and have dreamed of becoming a defense attorney for domestic violence and sexual assault victims ever since. I think Iâd make a damn good attorney. Iâd love to see the look on the guilty faces as I get justice for their victims.â Her voice regained its confidence, her body relaxing back as she finally took a sip from her beer, trying to look unphased.
âIâŠâ Andy started, y/n waving her hand in dismissal. âItâs all good, Iâve moved past it, mostly. You donât have to say the whole âIâm sorry for your lossâ shit. Iâve heard it all before.â Y/N took another long swig from her beer, swallowing it before pointing in his direction.
âWhat about you, what made you divorce Mrs. Barber? Jacob doesnât mention her at all, only that you divorced last December.â Andy lets out a breath he hadnât realized heâd been holding during her entire story.
âJust wasnât meant to be. Weâd been together our whole lives practically and I woke up one day and realized I didnât love her anymore. We were always fighting, and it wasnât worth it to try and make it work.â Why he was explaining this to a twenty-two-year-old friend of his son, he didnât know, but she had just shared something so intimate with him that he felt it was only fair.
âWell, itâs her loss.â The usual sensuality in her tone is back, her lips curling into a smile around her beer bottle. âYouâre still young enough and fit, Iâm sure youâll find a pretty woman to meet your every need.â The words made his cock twitch, a chuckle leaving his lips to ease the sexual tension in the air.
âWell thank you. What about you? I see how my son and the other boys eye you.â And himself, but heâd leave that out. âThey said your off limits and not the relationship type.â Andy didnât know if it was appropriate to mention the conversation he had with Rashad and Collin the other day, but it seemed from y/nâs smile she was well aware of how they viewed her.
âOh, Iâve had my fair share of boys. Watching them fall one by one.â She teased, running a hand through her hair. âIâm kinda like a sweet serial killer on the warpath, I like to have boys wrapped around my finger, but I am fully in control of who gets to move past a few stolen kisses. And frankly, there arenât many that doâ Her tone is honest, Andy licking his lips. I bet a man like me could change that. Before Andy can open his mouth to respond the front door opens, Jacob, Collin, and Rashad bounding in.
âThe partyâs here!â Rashad cried out, clearly tipsy. The boys stopped in the living room when they saw y/n and Andy, Collin eyeing the takeout on the table.
âDude can I have some? Iâm starving.â Collin announced before picking up y/nâs takeout box, plowing into it with the fork.
âHelp yourself, I was actually going to get to bed. Gotta get up early for the internship again.â Y/N slinked seductively off the couch, her eyes meeting Andyâs. âGoodnight, Andy. Thanks for the talk.â He manages to give her a quick goodnight before sheâs walking up the stairs, tits bouncing with each step.
Was he slowly being wrapped around her finger like the other boys she mentioned? He didnât think so, but what he did know is he had yet another outfit of hers to picture her in when he jerked off tonight.
