imagine a bajoran teenager living on ds9 who's trying to decide what to do with her life and feels compelled to get closer to the Emissary, but gets the sense that Sisko is a little uncomfortable with being approached in that way, and she's a little young to join the bajoran military and try to get stationed under him, so she looks for another pretense to like have a conversation with him or something
and she overhears Jake talking about playing baseball with his dad, and maybe at the temple she overhears Kira talking about going to the holosuites with them for a baseball game, and she gets the sense that baseball is Important
so she gets up her courage and approaches him on the promenade some time when he doesn't seem too busy, like "excuse me Emissary, I wonder if you would allow me to ask a favor of you."
and Sisko tries not to look like he's steeling himself
"I would like to learn about Baseball."
and he gets this big grin. and tells her what day and time to show up to Quark's for the next time he and Jake are gonna play (and ngl maybe part of him is thinking she's closer to Jake's age than Mardah is...)
and like as they're doing warmups, and she's taking things Very Seriously trying to learn the ropes, Sisko makes an offhanded comment about how Cestus III would be the place to be if you really wanted to get immersed in the sport. and of course she takes this a lot more seriously than he meant it. like a direction in life given to her from the Prophets, directly from their Emissary.
so after all of one (1) time playing baseball in a holosuite she approaches Kassidy to learn more about Cestus III and works like a short internship under her to earn passage there. and shows up in like Pike City or someplace like "hi, does anyone around here hire non-federation citizens? i don't care what type of job. also when are baseball tryouts?"
and like after several years spent getting good, bc she approaches the sport with y'know religious devotion, she returns to her people. and starts a training camp on Bajor that's like basically a monastery. like teenagers who want to pursue religious studies but can't sit still long enough to have hope of becoming a ranjen, they get sent to her to learn to practice Baseball
like imagine a young adult with a really elaborate earring and also like the baseball shoes and the short pants tucked into tall socks going "you know, waiting for a sign from the Prophets is a lot like playing left field..."

where i grew up, the hangout spot was the mall, and it was bleak, folks! but it was more accessible than the playgrounds and parks (not allowed to be in them if little kids were in them; also not allowed to be in them after sunset) and it asked less from you than a coffee shop or fast food restaurant (seating time limit, minimum purchases) and it was more protected than the various parking lots outside takeout spots and coffee shops where teens would park their cars and just loiter. Despite the many signs with instructions not to loiter.
The thing about the mall, though, is that while you could walk around indoors with your friends the whole time it was open and never buy anything, and you could sit in the food court, or on benches throughout the mall, until the mall cops chased you out of that one corner into the next farther along, the problem with it really was that it was a fucking mall. I know we live in an absolutely advertising saturated age now, so it might be hard to sort of separate this out, but it's actually not a positive experience to do all of your socializing and relaxing in a space that is constantly selling you things.
one of the problems of being constantly sold to is that it can be difficult not to talk about the subjects that are being put in front of you, even if you have no risk of actually spending money on them. So in the mall we would find ourselves talking constantly about clothes and makeup and shoes and magazines - yeah I'm old enough for magazines - and maybe, if the mall we were in had relevant stores, books or music or video games. But you couldn't watch a movie or play a video game together in the mall, and eventually the bookstore staff would come and chase you out if you all sat on the floor to read anything. and the only music you got to hear was piped in over loud speakers.
actually like think about that for a second, if you do all of your hanging out in the mall, the only music that you get to hear with your friends is the music that stores play at you to get you in the mood to buy their stuff. When people try and explain why we got so fucking sick of nickelback, I want you to imagine a world where that is the most interesting music the mall is willing to play for you, and they are going to play it on loop.
The other thing about hanging out in the mall, though this maybe changed by age and location, was it was likely that a bunch of you worked in the mall. So you already spent a fair amount of your time listening to mall music, quickly eating food court food, and dealing with other mall patrons, including your friends, for minimum wage. takes the shine off pretty quickly, I think.
When I first started working at the mall I was really curious about what the mall was like when it wasn't open, if there was sort of a secret second layer to the mall of back passages to garbage bins or bank deposit slots, if there was an interesting layer to its liminal space. unfortunately I think the answer in most cases is a firm no. malls exist to sell you things, and they are very much optimized to do that, and they don't tend to have interesting misused corners while in normal operation. dead malls are different.
so yeah hanging out in the mall, I can definitely see how with the few other options on the table the mall can look pretty good but More than a lot of places, a mall is designed to convince you the that you're the sort of person who wants to spend all of their money on the things at the mall has, and people have worked for decades and decades to optimize the architecture, the visual design, the sound design and everything else towards that goal. it turns your friendships and your social life into a thing that happens explicitly at the site of spending money, of consumption, etc. I don't think it's great.
and I do think a lot about how the internet these days is so riddled with ads and so intensely about consumption, shopping, products. I think we've really found ourselves in a place where all we have is the mall, just, the shittiest version of it.
I understand that we're all mourning the death of public third spaces and feeling nostalgic for how things were in the 80s or whatever, but in terms of lost treasures of the past, I feel like people are losing sight of the fact that the go-to hangout spot being a shopping center/"mall" was already a pretty bleak expression of how (especially US) culture revolved around capitalist consumerism? Even before they started to ban teenagers from existing there.
Idk whenever I see a nostalgic aesthetic post venerating the lost magic of a shopping multiplex I just imagine in 30 years time people going "these were the good times... What we lost" and then just posting a screenshot of the Amazon.com homepage, pffff
When we rebuild society I feel like we should try to make the social centerpieces/hangout spots like, parks, and entertainment/community/leisure centers, rather than money extraction complexes

Tumblr media
This is a Commission for My Friend @starconstruction on Tumblr and Ko-fi. Hope you Liked it Buddy.
Blood. The thick, metallic scent clung to the air like a curse, searing itself into Y/n's memory as he crouched behind the tattered sofa. He was seven years old, too young to understand why men with guns had stormed into his home, but old enough to know that his life would never be the same.
"Please!" his mother's voice cracked, raw with desperation. She shielded him with her frail body, her arms trembling as she pleaded. "We don't owe anything! We've paid everything back-please, don't hurt him!"
The man standing before her tilted his head, a smirk curling across his scarred face. Lee Sang-hyun, a name Y/n would never forget. Dressed in a tailored black suit, he looked more like a businessman than a killer, but his eyes-cold and devoid of mercy- betrayed his true nature.
"You think I care about your payments?" Sang-hyun sneered, his voice smooth yet laced with venom. He stepped closer, his polished shoes crushing broken glass beneath them. "This isn't about money. It's about power. And no one disrespects the 3 Crows."
Before Y/n could blink, Sang-hyun's fist crashed into his father's face. The sickening sound of bone breaking echoed through the small apartment. His father fell to the floor, coughing up blood, but he still tried to rise, defiance flickering in his eyes.
"Run, Y/n!" his father choked out, his voice a mix of pain and urgency.
But Y/n couldn't move. His legs felt like lead, his small hands clutching the sofa's fabric as if it could anchor him to safety. He wanted to run, to scream, to do something-but terror had paralyzed him.
"Stupid man," Sang-hyun muttered, wiping the blood from his knuckles. "Let's make sure your son learns what happens to those who defy us."
The next few minutes were a blur of violence. Sang-hyun didn't use a weapon; he didn't need one. His fists were brutal, his kicks merciless, and he seemed to relish every second of the beating. Y/n's mother screamed, trying to shield her husband, but Sang-hyun shoved her aside like she was nothing.
Y/n squeezed his eyes shut, tears streaming down his face. He didn't want to see, but the sounds were inescapable-the grunts of pain, the dull thuds of fists meeting flesh, the horrifying crack when his father's ribs gave way.
When it was over, silence fell.
"Clean this up," Sang-hyun ordered his men, gesturing to the broken bodies of Y/n's parents. His voice was calm, as if he had just finished a routine task.
"Boss," one of his underlings said, pointing to Y/n, who was now sobbing openly. "What about the kid?"
Sang-hyun turned his gaze to the trembling boy, his lips curling into a sinister smile. "Oh, he's coming with us. A little rat like him needs to learn his place in the world."
Two men grabbed Y/n by the arms, dragging him out of the apartment. He kicked and screamed, calling for his parents, but they were gone, their lifeless bodies lying in a pool of blood.
That night, Y/n's childhood ended.
The years that followed were a nightmare. Sang-hyun didn't kill Y/n-not yet. Instead, he broke him, shaping him into a weapon for the 3 Crows.
Beatings were a daily occurrence, accompanied by harsh training that pushed Y/n's body to its limits. He learned to fight, to steal, to kill. Failure was met with pain, success with indifference.
"You're not a person," Sang-hyun told him once, after forcing him to clean the blood off his first kill. "You're a tool. Tools don't have feelings. Tools obey."
Y/n hated him. He hated everything about the 3 Crows-their cold, ruthless hierarchy, their obsession with power, their complete disregard for human life. But hate wasn't enough to break free. Not yet.
By the time he was eighteen, Y/n had become one of the most feared enforcers in Seoul. His name was whispered in the underworld, his reputation as a silent, efficient killer unmatched. But no matter how many lives he took, the ghost of his parents haunted him, their blood staining his hands.
It was a rainy night when Sang-hyun gave him the order that would change everything.
"I have a job for you," Sang-hyun said, reclining in his leather chair. His office was lavish, filled with expensive furniture that contrasted sharply with his brutal nature.
Y/n stood before him, his expression blank. He had learned long ago that showing emotion was a weakness Sang-hyun exploited.
"What is it?" Y/n asked, his voice devoid of warmth.
"An S-class target," Sang-hyun replied, sliding a folder across the desk. "Jung-hwa. Chaebol heiress. But that's not the interesting part."
Y/n opened the folder, his sharp eyes scanning the documents. Jung-hwa was beautiful, with long dark hair and a confident smile that seemed out of place in the grim world of organized crime. But as he read further, he realized why Sang-hyun was so interested.
"She's part of the Delacroix family," Y/n muttered, his stomach twisting.
Sang-hyun grinned. "Exactly. Killing her would send a message to Gahyeon. It's time that tyrant queen learns not to mess with the 3 Crows."
Y/n's fingers tightened around the folder. The Delacroix were the 3 Crows' biggest rivals, a Mafia family just as ruthless and powerful. But Jung-hwa wasn't just a pawn in their game-she was a person, a young woman with her whole life ahead of her.
"Do it," Sang-hyun said, his tone leaving no room for argument. "And don't screw this up. You know what happens if you fail."
Y/n nodded, his face a mask of calm, but inside, a storm raged. He didn't want to kill Jung-hwa. He didn't want to kill anyone anymore. But Sang-hyun's leash was tight, and disobedience meant death.
As he left the office, rain pouring down around him, Y/n felt the weight of his choice pressing down on his shoulders. He had two options: obey and lose what little humanity he had left, or rebel and risk everything.
In the end, he knew there was only one path he could take.
The rain hadn’t let up. Seoul’s neon lights reflected off the wet pavement, casting an eerie glow that matched the unease in Y/n’s chest. He stood in the shadows of a busy intersection, his hood pulled low as he watched her.
Jung-hwa.
She stood near the entrance of a luxury boutique, her bodyguards forming a tight perimeter around her. Even in the pouring rain, she exuded an air of elegance, her long black coat cinched at the waist, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders. She looked every bit the heiress she was—untouchable, radiant, and confident.
But Y/n knew better. No one in this world was untouchable.
For three days, he had stalked her, learning her routines, her quirks, and her vulnerabilities. He knew she preferred her coffee black with a single sugar cube. He knew she always stopped to feed the stray cats outside her apartment complex, even when she was running late. And he knew that beneath her polished exterior, there was a flicker of loneliness.
She reminded him too much of himself.
“Focus,” Y/n muttered under his breath, shaking his head. He couldn’t afford to humanize her. She was the target, nothing more.
Yet, as he trailed her through the crowded streets, he couldn’t suppress the guilt gnawing at him. She wasn’t like the other marks he’d been assigned to. Most of them were criminals, just as corrupt and ruthless as the 3 Crows. But Jung-hwa… she seemed different.
Still, Sang-hyun’s words echoed in his mind: “Don’t screw this up.”
Y/n clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. He had to do it. If he didn’t, Sang-hyun would kill him—or worse, send someone else after her.
That evening, Jung-hwa returned to her penthouse in Gangnam, her guards sweeping the area before letting her inside. Y/n watched from a nearby rooftop, the scope of his sniper rifle trained on her balcony.
It would be so easy. One shot, and it would be over.
But his finger hesitated on the trigger.
Instead of pulling it, he lowered the rifle and pulled out his binoculars, watching her through the glass doors of her living room. She was sitting on the couch, a glass of wine in one hand as she flipped through a book. The sight was so ordinary, so human, that it made his chest tighten.
What was he doing? Was he really going to take another life just because Sang-hyun ordered him to?
Y/n’s mind raced. He thought about his parents, about the countless people he’d killed, about the weight of Sang-hyun’s control over him. He was tired—tired of being a tool, tired of the bloodshed, tired of losing pieces of himself with every mission.
He let out a shaky breath and packed up his rifle.
Not tonight.
The following day, Jung-hwa’s routine took her to a quiet park on the outskirts of the city. Y/n followed at a distance, blending seamlessly with the other pedestrians. She sat on a bench beneath a cherry blossom tree, watching the petals fall as she sipped her coffee.
Y/n approached cautiously, his hands stuffed into his pockets. He wasn’t sure why he was doing this—why he was stepping out of the shadows instead of staying hidden. But something about her drew him in, like a moth to a flame.
“Mind if I sit here?” he asked, his voice low but steady.
Jung-hwa looked up, startled, but quickly composed herself. “It’s a public bench,” she replied, her tone polite but guarded.
Y/n sat down, leaving a respectable distance between them. For a moment, neither of them spoke. He could feel her eyes on him, studying him, trying to decide if he was a threat.
“You don’t seem like the type who frequents parks,” she said, breaking the silence.
Y/n smirked faintly. “And what type do I seem like?”
“The brooding loner type,” she replied, her lips curving into a small smile.
He chuckled, though the sound felt foreign in his throat. “Fair enough.”
Another pause settled between them, but this time it was less tense. Y/n found himself relaxing, though he knew he shouldn’t.
“I’ve seen you before,” Jung-hwa said suddenly, her voice soft but sharp.
Y/n’s heart skipped a beat. “Have you?”
She nodded. “You were at the café yesterday, weren’t you? Sitting by the window.”
Damn. He hadn’t realized she’d noticed him. “Maybe,” he said vaguely, trying to deflect.
Jung-hwa tilted her head, her gaze piercing. “You’re not very good at blending in, you know.”
Y/n bit back a retort. She was testing him, probing for information, and he couldn’t afford to slip up. But before he could respond, she stood up, brushing cherry blossom petals from her coat.
“Well, whoever you are,” she said, turning to leave, “I hope you find what you’re looking for.”
Y/n watched her walk away, his chest tightening. She was sharper than he’d given her credit for. But more than that, her words lingered in his mind.
What was he looking for?
That night, Y/n sat alone in his dingy apartment, staring at the photo of Jung-hwa that Sang-hyun had given him. The more he thought about her, the more conflicted he felt. She wasn’t just a target anymore—she was a person, someone who had shown him a glimpse of a life beyond the darkness he lived in.
But he knew that sparing her would come at a cost.
As if on cue, his phone buzzed. It was Sang-hyun.
“Y/n,” Sang-hyun’s voice came through the line, cold and commanding. “You’ve had enough time. Finish the job, or I’ll finish you.”
Y/n’s jaw tightened, his grip on the phone trembling. He didn’t respond.
“You hear me?” Sang-hyun growled. “Do it, or you’re dead.”
Y/n hung up without a word.
For the first time in years, he made a decision for himself. He wouldn’t kill her. He was done being a tool, done living under Sang-hyun’s control.
But walking away wouldn’t be easy.
And as the first knock sounded on his door—heavy and deliberate—he knew that Sang-hyun had already set his sights on him.
The knock on the door came again, louder this time. Y/n's breath hitched as he scrambled to his feet, every muscle in his body tensed. His small apartment was dark, illuminated only by the dim glow of the streetlights filtering through the blinds. He reached for his pistol, his fingers tightening around the grip as he moved silently toward the door.
"Y/n," a voice called from the other side, low and menacing. "You think you can walk away from this?"
It was one of Sang-hyun's men.
Y/n's heart pounded in his chest. He had known this was coming, but he hadn't expected it so soon. They weren't here to talk-they were here to kill him.
The doorknob rattled, and then, with a deafening crash, the door splintered open. A team of three men burst inside, weapons drawn. Y/n didn't hesitate.
The first man went down with a single shot to the chest. The second lunged at him with a knife, but Y/n sidestepped, grabbing his arm and twisting it until the blade clattered to the floor. A swift kick sent the man sprawling, unconscious.
The third was smarter, firing off a shot that grazed Y/n's shoulder. Pain flared, but he didn't let it slow him down. He ducked behind the couch, returning fire. The man cried out as a bullet struck his leg, dropping him to the ground.
Silence fell, save for the ragged breathing of the wounded. Y/n stood, his pistol still trained on the men. Blood dripped from the graze on his shoulder, but he didn't flinch.
He had to go.
Y/n grabbed a bag he had packed earlier, slinging it over his shoulder as he stepped over the bodies. He didn't look back.
The streets of Seoul were alive with activity, but Y/n moved like a ghost, blending into the crowd despite the pain in his shoulder. He had to get out of the city, away from Sang-hyun's reach.
But Sang-hyun wouldn't stop. He had made that clear.
As Y/n turned a corner, he caught a glimpse of a shadow moving toward him. He ducked just in time as a knife swiped past his face. His attacker-a man in a leather jacket- lunged again, but Y/n blocked the strike, delivering a sharp punch to the man's throat.
Another assassin.
Y/n didn't wait for him to recover. He darted into a narrow alley, his footsteps echoing against the walls. Gunfire erupted behind him, the bullets narrowly missing as he weaved through the labyrinth of alleyways.
He emerged onto a quieter street, his breath coming in harsh gasps. His leg burned, and when he glanced down, he saw blood seeping through his jeans. A bullet had grazed him there, too, though he hadn't noticed in the chaos.
He was losing strength.
"Damn it," he muttered, stumbling as his vision blurred. He leaned against a wall, his fingers pressing against the wound in a futile attempt to stop the bleeding.
"Help. " he rasped, his voice barely audible.
The world spun, and then he saw her. A silhouette against the dim light, her figure commanding and unyielding. She moved closer, her steps deliberate, until she was standing before him.
"Y/n," she said, her voice soft yet chilling.
His knees buckled, and he collapsed. As darkness consumed him, the last thing he saw was her face-a face both beautiful and terrifying.
Y/n woke to the scent of antiseptic and the feel of soft sheets beneath him. His head throbbed, and his body felt heavy, but he was alive.
He opened his eyes slowly, taking in his surroundings. The room was luxurious, with dark wood furniture and velvet curtains. A fireplace crackled in the corner, casting warm light across the space.
"You're awake."
The voice was familiar, and when Y/n turned his head, he saw her sitting in a chair by the fire. Gahyeon.
Her presence was magnetic, her dark eyes studying him with an intensity that made his skin prickle. She wore a tailored black dress, her posture regal, her expression unreadable.
"You should be dead," she said, her tone matter-of-fact. "Sang-hyun's men don't leave loose ends."
Y/n forced himself to sit up, wincing as pain flared in his leg and shoulder. "Why am I here?" he asked, his voice hoarse.
Gahyeon leaned back in her chair, crossing one leg over the other. "You intrigue me," she said simply.
"That's not an answer," Y/n shot back, his eyes narrowing.
She smirked, amused by his defiance. "You spared my sister."
"Sister?"
"Jung-hwa," Gahyeon clarified, her gaze piercing. "You were sent to kill her, weren't you?"
Y/n didn't respond, but his silence was answer enough.
"I expected you to try," she continued. "But instead, you hesitated. That's not something Sang-hyun's lapdog would do."
"I'm not his lapdog," Y/n said through gritted teeth.
"Not anymore," Gahyeon said, rising from her chair. She walked toward him, her heels clicking against the floor. "But that doesn't explain why you're here, bleeding out in my territory."
"I didn't have a choice," Y/n admitted, his voice low. "Sang-hyun put a bounty on my head."
"And now you're a man with nowhere to go," Gahyeon said, stopping beside his bed. She reached out, tracing a finger along the edge of his jaw. "Except here."
Y/n flinched at her touch, his instincts screaming danger. "What do you want from me?"
Gahyeon smiled, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "I want you to work for me."
Y/n stared at her, disbelief and suspicion swirling in his mind. "Why would I do that?"
"Because I saved your life," she said, her tone turning icy. "And because we have a common enemy."
Sang-hyun.
Y/n's jaw tightened as he thought about the man who had destroyed his life. Gahyeon was dangerous, but she wasn't wrong. If he wanted to take down Sang-hyun, he couldn't do it alone.
"And if I refuse?" Y/n asked.
Gahyeon's smile widened. "Then you die. But I think you're smarter than that."
Y/n closed his eyes, exhaustion and pain weighing on him. He didn't trust her, but for now, he didn't have a choice.
"Fine," he said finally. "I'll work for you."
"Good," Gahyeon said, her voice soft but triumphant. "Welcome to the Delacroix family, Y/n."
Y/n spent the next few days confined to the lavish room in Gahyeon’s mansion. His wounds were healing faster than expected, thanks to the skilled care of her personal medic. Yet, every time he looked at himself in the ornate mirror across the room, he saw the scars Sang-hyun had left behind—marks of a life he wanted to leave but couldn’t escape.
The door to his room opened one morning, revealing Gahyeon. She stepped inside, a commanding presence that instantly filled the space.
“Get up,” she said briskly. “Your recovery time is over.”
Y/n pushed himself to his feet, biting back a groan as his injured leg protested. “What now?” he asked, his voice tinged with suspicion.
She smirked. “Now, you prove that I didn’t make a mistake saving your life.”
Gahyeon led him to an underground training room, its walls lined with weapons of all kinds. A group of her men stood at attention, their expressions wary as they eyed Y/n. He didn’t blame them—he was an outsider, an enemy until recently.
“This is Y/n,” Gahyeon announced, her voice firm. “He’s under my protection now, which makes him one of us. Anyone who has a problem with that can leave.”
Her men exchanged uneasy glances, but none of them moved.
“Good,” she said, her eyes flicking to Y/n. “You’re going to spar with Jae-hyun.”
Jae-hyun, a towering man with a scar running down his cheek, stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. He was clearly the group’s enforcer, and Y/n could tell this wasn’t just a test—it was a warning.
Y/n squared his shoulders, ignoring the throbbing pain in his leg. He didn’t need to win; he just needed to survive.
The fight was brutal. Jae-hyun was stronger, but Y/n was faster, using his agility to evade the worst of the blows. Still, he couldn’t dodge everything. A particularly hard punch sent him sprawling to the ground, blood trickling from his split lip.
“Enough,” Gahyeon’s voice cut through the air like a blade.
Jae-hyun stepped back, his chest heaving, while Y/n struggled to his feet. He wiped the blood from his mouth, meeting Gahyeon’s gaze with a defiant glare.
“You’ve got grit,” she said, a hint of approval in her tone. “But you’ll need more than that to survive in my world.”
“I’m still here, aren’t I?” Y/n shot back, his voice steady despite the pain.
Gahyeon’s lips twitched, almost forming a smile. “Yes, you are.”
Over the next few weeks, Y/n trained relentlessly under Gahyeon’s watchful eye. She pushed him to his limits, forcing him to confront his weaknesses and hone his skills. At first, their interactions were cold and formal, but gradually, something began to shift.
One evening, after a particularly grueling session, Gahyeon handed Y/n a towel and a bottle of water. He accepted them silently, too exhausted to argue.
“You’re improving,” she said, her tone softer than usual.
Y/n glanced at her, surprised. “Was that a compliment?”
“Don’t get used to it,” she replied, though there was a faint smile on her lips.
He chuckled, shaking his head. “You’re impossible, you know that?”
“And yet, here you are,” she countered, her eyes glinting with amusement.
Y/n couldn’t help but smile back, the tension between them easing for the first time.
Their bond deepened during their first mission together. A shipment of weapons bound for the 3 Crows had been intercepted by a third-party gang, and Gahyeon was determined to retrieve it.
The operation was risky, requiring stealth and precision. Y/n and Gahyeon worked side by side, their movements synchronized as they navigated the enemy’s stronghold.
When they were discovered, chaos erupted. Gunfire echoed through the building, and Y/n found himself covering Gahyeon’s back as they fought their way out.
“Stay close!” she shouted, her voice cutting through the noise.
“I’m not going anywhere!” he replied, firing at an approaching thug.
At one point, a gang member managed to sneak up behind Gahyeon, his knife raised. Y/n reacted instinctively, tackling the man to the ground and disarming him.
“Watch yourself,” Y/n said, his tone half-scolding, half-concerned.
“I had it under control,” Gahyeon retorted, though her expression softened as she looked at him. “But… thanks.”
They escaped with the shipment intact, their victory cementing a newfound trust between them.
That night, back at the mansion, Y/n found Gahyeon on the balcony, staring out at the city lights. He joined her, leaning against the railing.
“You’re quiet,” he said.
“Just thinking,” she replied, her voice uncharacteristically subdued.
“About what?”
“About why I do this,” she admitted, her eyes distant. “Why I fight so hard to hold onto power, to protect what’s mine.”
Y/n studied her, seeing for the first time the vulnerability she tried so hard to hide. “Because it’s all you’ve ever known,” he said gently.
She turned to him, her expression guarded. “And what about you? Why do you keep fighting?”
Y/n hesitated, the weight of his past pressing down on him. “Because I don’t know how to stop,” he said finally.
For a moment, they simply looked at each other, the distance between them shrinking. Gahyeon reached out, her hand brushing against his.
“Maybe we can figure it out together,” she said softly.
Y/n’s breath caught, her words stirring something deep inside him. For the first time in years, he felt a flicker of hope.
“Maybe we can,” he agreed.
The Delacroix estate was abuzz with activity, its halls alive with the chatter of operatives preparing for a major operation. Y/n, now firmly entrenched in Gahyeon’s world, was reviewing the mission details with Jung-hwa in the library.
Jung-hwa leaned over the map spread across the table, her dark hair brushing against Y/n’s arm. She was explaining the security patterns of their target—a 3 Crows warehouse—when she suddenly laughed, a soft, melodic sound that made Y/n smile despite himself.
“You’re terrible at this,” Jung-hwa teased, pointing at the notes he had scribbled.
“Hey, it’s not my fault you talk too fast,” Y/n shot back, his grin widening.
Their playful banter was interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Y/n turned to see Gahyeon standing in the doorway, her expression unreadable.
“Jung-hwa,” Gahyeon said coolly. “Shouldn’t you be overseeing the preparations in the armory?”
Jung-hwa straightened, a hint of unease flickering across her face. “I was just—”
“Now,” Gahyeon interrupted, her tone leaving no room for argument.
Jung-hwa glanced at Y/n before nodding and leaving the room, her heels clicking against the marble floor.
Y/n raised an eyebrow at Gahyeon as she walked toward him, her steps measured. “What was that about?” he asked.
“Don’t waste your time on her,” Gahyeon said, her voice sharp. “She’s too soft for this world.”
Y/n frowned, crossing his arms. “She’s your sister.”
“And she’s not your concern,” Gahyeon snapped, her eyes flashing.
Realization dawned on Y/n, and he couldn’t help but smirk. “Are you jealous?”
Gahyeon’s jaw tightened, her composure cracking for a fraction of a second. “Don’t be ridiculous.”
“You are,” Y/n said, his tone teasing. “You’re jealous.”
She glared at him, her cheeks tinged with the faintest hint of color. “Focus on the mission, Y/n,” she said, turning on her heel and leaving before he could say anything else.
Later that night, Y/n found himself on the training grounds, practicing his aim with a set of throwing knives. The rhythmic thud of metal sinking into wood was oddly soothing, a temporary reprieve from the chaos of his life.
He didn’t notice Gahyeon approaching until she spoke.
“Still awake?”
Y/n turned to see her standing a few feet away, her arms crossed. She looked different in the moonlight—softer, almost vulnerable.
“Couldn’t sleep,” he admitted, gesturing to the knives. “Figured I’d make myself useful.”
Gahyeon stepped closer, her gaze fixed on the target. “Your form’s off,” she said, picking up a knife from the bench. “Let me show you.”
She stood behind him, her hands lightly brushing against his as she adjusted his grip. Y/n froze, acutely aware of how close she was. Her perfume was subtle but intoxicating, and he found himself holding his breath.
“Like this,” she murmured, guiding his arm.
He threw the knife, and it hit the center of the target with a satisfying thud.
“Not bad,” Y/n said, turning to face her. “You’re a pretty good teacher.”
“I’m good at everything,” Gahyeon replied, a sly smile tugging at her lips.
Y/n chuckled, shaking his head. “Modest, too.”
Their eyes met, and for a moment, the air between them shifted. Gahyeon’s gaze softened, and Y/n could see something flicker in her expression—something she quickly masked.
“We should get some rest,” she said abruptly, stepping back.
“Yeah,” Y/n agreed, though he couldn’t shake the feeling that something had just changed between them.
The mission the next day was a success, but it wasn’t without its complications.
As they regrouped at the estate, Y/n found himself surrounded by members of the Delacroix family, all eager to congratulate him on his role in the operation. One of them, a young woman named Hana, lingered longer than the others.
“You were incredible out there,” Hana said, her admiration clear in her voice.
“Just doing my job,” Y/n replied, though her enthusiasm made him uncomfortable.
Gahyeon entered the room then, her eyes immediately zeroing in on Hana.
“Hana,” Gahyeon said, her tone icy. “Don’t you have reports to file?”
Hana blinked, startled. “I-I was just—”
“Now,” Gahyeon ordered, her glare leaving no room for argument.
Hana scurried away, and Y/n sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “You really don’t like anyone talking to me, do you?”
“I don’t like distractions,” Gahyeon retorted, her voice clipped.
Y/n stepped closer, his expression challenging. “Or maybe you don’t like sharing.”
Gahyeon’s eyes narrowed, but she didn’t deny it. Instead, she turned and walked away, leaving Y/n to wonder just how deep her feelings for him ran.
The halls of the Delacroix estate hummed with tension. Gahyeon sat at the head of the long mahogany table in the war room, her sharp gaze scanning the reports laid out before her. Y/n stood by her side, arms crossed, his instincts prickling with unease.
"Something doesn't feel right," Y/n said, his voice low.
Gahyeon glanced up at him, her expression unreadable. "What do you mean?"
"There's been too much silence from the 3 Crows," he replied. "Sang-hyun isn't the type to sit idle."
Gahyeon's lips pressed into a thin line. "I've strengthened our defenses. If he tries anything, we'll be ready."
Before Y/n could respond, the door burst open, and one of Gahyeon's trusted lieutenants stumbled in, blood staining his uniform.
"They. they turned on us," he gasped. "Some of our men. they're working for Sang-hyun."
Gahyeon's eyes narrowed, fury sparking within them. "Who?"
Before the man could answer, gunfire erupted outside, echoing through the estate. Y/n grabbed Gahyeon's arm, pulling her to her feet.
"We need to move. Now."
As chaos engulfed the estate, Y/n and Gahyeon fought their way through the corridors. Their enemies were ruthless, attacking with the precision of trained operatives. Y/n's mind raced as he pieced together the betrayal.
"This was planned," Y/n muttered, firing at an approaching enemy. "Sang-hyun's been planting seeds in your ranks for weeks."
"I'll kill him," Gahyeon snarled, her tone venomous.
"We'll kill him," Y/n corrected, his voice firm.
They found Jung-hwa in the west wing, cornered by a group of traitorous guards. Y/ n and Gahyeon dispatched them swiftly, their movements seamless as they worked together.
"Are you okay?" Y/n asked, pulling Jung-hwa to her feet.
"I'm fine," she said, her voice trembling. "But we need to get out of here."
"No," Gahyeon said, her eyes blazing. "We're not running. This ends tonight."
Hours later, under the cover of darkness, Y/n and Gahyeon infiltrated Sang-hyun's stronghold. The once-imposing estate of the 3 Crows now reeked of desperation and greed.
Sang-hyun was asleep in his lavish bedroom, unaware of the storm creeping toward him. Y/n entered first, his footsteps silent as a shadow. Gahyeon followed, her knife glinting in the moonlight.
Y/n stood over Sang-hyun, his heart pounding as memories of his parents' brutal deaths flooded his mind. This was the man who had stolen his childhood, who had twisted his life into a nightmare.
Without hesitation, Y/n pressed the blade to Sang-hyun's throat. The man's eyes snapped open, panic flashing across his face.
"Y/n." Sang-hyun choked, his voice weak.
"This is for my parents," Y/n said, his voice steady, though his eyes burned with fury. "And for hurting Gahyeon."
With one swift motion, he slit Sang-hyun's throat. Blood spilled across the sheets as Sang-hyun gasped for air, his hands clawing at his neck. Y/n held his gaze until the light faded from his eyes, then stepped back, his breathing heavy.
"It's done," he said, turning to Gahyeon.
She nodded, her expression unreadable as she wiped the blood from her knife. "Let's go."
The death of Sang-hyun marked the end of the 3 Crows. Without their leader, the remnants of the organization crumbled, leaving a power vacuum in the underworld.
Y/n stood in the Delacroix estate's main hall, watching as Gahyeon addressed her people. She was a commanding presence, her voice steady and authoritative as she announced the formation of a new family-Evergarden.
"Together, we will rebuild," Gahyeon declared. "We will rise stronger than ever."
The crowd erupted into cheers, but Y/n felt only a deep weariness. He had done what he set out to do-he had avenged his parents and dismantled the 3 Crows. Now, all he wanted was peace.
That evening, Y/n approached Gahyeon in her office. She was seated at her desk, reviewing a stack of documents.
"I'm leaving," he said, his voice firm.
Gahyeon looked up, her eyes narrowing. "What?"
"I've done my part," he continued. "I gave you the power to take down Sang-hyun. Now I want a new life."
Gahyeon rose from her chair, her hands gripping the edge of the desk. "You think you can just walk away?"
"I'm not asking for permission," Y/n said, meeting her gaze.
Her expression darkened, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "You belong to me, Y/n. I won't let you go."
Before he could respond, she stepped closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "You've given me everything. Your loyalty, your strength. your heart. And now, you'll give me forever."
Y/n's breath caught as Gahyeon leaned in, her lips brushing against his ear. "You're mine, Y/n. Always."
A week later, the Delacroix family officially merged with the remnants of the 3 Crows, forming Evergarden. Gahyeon declared herself the leader, solidifying her position in the underworld.
In a grand ceremony held in the estate's ballroom, Gahyeon stood beside Y/n, her hand entwined with his. Her smile was triumphant as she announced their marriage, sealing their union and her control over him.
As the crowd applauded, Y/n felt the weight of her obsession pressing down on him. He had thought he could escape, but Gahyeon's love was as inescapable as it was dangerous.
And deep down, he wasn't sure if he wanted to leave.
Evergarden thrived under Gahyeon’s rule. Her ruthless efficiency and unyielding leadership made the organization a dominant force in the underworld. Y/n, now her husband, found himself at the heart of the new empire.
But the power, wealth, and influence came at a cost.
Y/n stood in the grand dining hall, watching as Gahyeon conversed with her lieutenants. She was as commanding as ever, her every word dripping with authority. Yet, whenever her gaze fell on him, it softened, her possessiveness evident in the way her eyes lingered.
“Y/n,” she called, motioning for him to join her.
He approached, his movements slow and deliberate. “What’s the matter?”
Gahyeon’s lips curved into a smile. “Nothing. I just like having you close.”
One of the lieutenants, a young man named Min-joon, chuckled. “Boss, you’re going to spoil him.”
Gahyeon’s smile vanished, her gaze turning icy. “Watch your tongue, Min-joon.”
The room fell silent, the air thick with tension. Y/n placed a hand on her shoulder, a silent gesture to diffuse the situation.
“Relax,” he said, his voice calm. “He’s just joking.”
Gahyeon’s expression softened again, but the warning in her eyes remained. “Careful, Min-joon. You wouldn’t want to upset me.”
Later that night, Y/n found himself alone in the garden, seeking solace among the flowers and moonlight. The estate was a fortress, its walls impenetrable, yet Y/n felt trapped.
He lit a cigarette, the smoke curling into the cool night air. He didn’t hear Gahyeon approach until she spoke.
“You’re avoiding me,” she said, her tone accusing.
Y/n exhaled slowly, not turning to face her. “Just needed some air.”
Gahyeon stepped closer, her presence magnetic yet suffocating. “You don’t need to hide from me, Y/n.”
“I’m not hiding,” he replied, though his voice lacked conviction.
She reached out, her fingers brushing against his arm. “You belong here. With me.”
Y/n turned to her, his gaze searching hers. “Do I? Or am I just another piece in your game?”
Gahyeon’s eyes flared with hurt and anger. “You think I’m using you?”
“I think you don’t know how to let go,” he said, his voice steady.
She stepped back, her jaw tightening. “You’re mine, Y/n. I won’t lose you.”
Her words hung in the air, a chilling reminder of her obsession.
The following weeks were a whirlwind of meetings, missions, and public appearances. Gahyeon ensured that Y/n was always by her side, a constant presence in her life and her plans.
But her possessiveness began to manifest in more overt ways.
One evening, during a gala hosted by Evergarden, Y/n found himself in conversation with Hana, a former member of the Delacroix family. She was friendly, her laughter light as they reminisced about the old days.
Gahyeon watched from across the room, her fingers tightening around the stem of her wine glass. The crystal felt cold against her skin, but it was nothing compared to the icy fury settling in her chest. Her eyes followed Y/n as he laughed softly at something the woman beside him said—a laugh that once belonged to her, or so she had thought. His hand brushed the other woman’s arm, a casual gesture, but Gahyeon’s nails dug into her palm. How dare he?
When Y/n finally returned to her side, his expression was calm, almost indifferent, but Gahyeon’s sharp gaze caught the flicker of guilt in his eyes. She smiled—a tight, practiced curve of her lips that didn’t reach her eyes. “You seemed to enjoy that conversation,” she said, her tone light, almost casual, but there was no mistaking the venom lacing her words.
Y/n hesitated, his shoulders stiffening as he met her gaze. “She’s an old friend,” he replied, his voice steady but cautious. He could sense the storm brewing behind Gahyeon’s composed facade.
Her smile turned colder, sharper. “Don’t forget who you belong to.”
The words sliced through the air like a blade, and Y/n flinched, though he held his ground. “I haven’t forgotten,” he said, his voice firm despite the unease creeping into his chest.
That night, the tension between them crackled like a live wire, heavy and unspoken, until Gahyeon finally broke the silence. She stood in the doorway of their bedroom, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her dark hair falling in loose waves around her face. The dim light cast shadows across her features, highlighting the anger simmering in her eyes.
“You think I don’t notice?” she said, her voice trembling with barely restrained rage. “Every time you talk to another woman, every time you smile at them… do you think I’m blind?”
Y/n sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “Gahyeon, you’re overreacting.”
Her eyes flashed, and she stepped closer, her movements deliberate, predatory. “I’m not overreacting!” she snapped, her voice rising. “I’ve given you everything, Y/n. Everything. And you still look at them.”
He stared at her, searching for the right words, but all he could see was the pain etched into her expression—pain masked by anger. “This isn’t love, Gahyeon,” he said quietly. “This is control.”
For a moment, her composure wavered, and the mask slipped. Pain flickered across her face, raw and unmistakable, before she quickly rebuilt the walls around herself. “I love you,” she whispered, her voice breaking. Tears welled in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. “I can’t lose you.”
Y/n’s resolve softened as he stepped closer, his hands reaching out to cradle her face. “You’re not going to lose me,” he said gently. “But you have to trust me.”
Gahyeon looked up at him, her vulnerability laid bare in the depths of her dark eyes. “I do trust you,” she said, though the possessiveness lingering in her gaze betrayed her words.
The space between them crackled with unspoken tension, the air thick with desire and conflict. Gahyeon’s hands slid up his chest, her touch searing through the fabric of his shirt. “Prove it,” she murmured, her voice low and husky. “Prove that you’re mine.”
Y/n’s breath hitched as her fingers traced the line of his jaw, her touch both tender and demanding. He could feel the heat radiating from her body, the way her pulse quickened beneath his fingertips. “Gahyeon…” he started, but she cut him off with a kiss—hard, desperate, and possessive.
Her lips were soft yet unforgiving, claiming him with a ferocity that left no room for doubt. She pressed herself against him, her curves molding to his body as her hands tangled in his hair. Y/n groaned, his resistance crumbling under the weight of her need. His hands moved to her waist, pulling her closer as he kissed her back with equal fervor.
Gahyeon broke the kiss, her breath coming in short, uneven gasps as she looked up at him. “Say it,” she demanded, her voice a sultry whisper. “Tell me you’re mine.”
“I’m yours,” Y/n replied without hesitation, his voice rough with desire. The words spilled out before he could stop them, driven by the fire burning in her eyes.
A small, triumphant smile curved her lips as she pushed him backward toward the bed. He sank down onto the mattress, his heart pounding as she climbed onto his lap, straddling him with effortless grace. Her dress pooled around her hips, revealing the smooth expanse of her thighs, and Y/n’s hands instinctively gripped her hips, anchoring himself to her.
Gahyeon leaned down, her lips brushing against his ear as she whispered, “Good boy.” Her breath sent shivers down his spine, and he swallowed hard, his body responding to her dominance with an intensity that surprised him.
She rocked her hips against his, the friction eliciting a low groan from deep within his chest. Her hands moved to the buttons of his shirt, working them open one by one with deliberate slowness. Each brush of her fingers against his skin stoked the flames of his desire, and by the time she pushed the fabric off his shoulders, he was already achingly hard.
Her eyes darkened as she gazed at his exposed chest, her fingers tracing the lines of his muscles with a possessiveness that made his breath catch. “Mine,” she murmured, her voice a sultry purr that sent heat pooling low in his abdomen.
Y/n’s hands moved to the hem of her dress, tugging it upward until it slipped over her head and fell to the floor. She sat back on his lap, clad only in delicate lace that did little to conceal her body. His mouth went dry at the sight of her, her curves illuminated by the soft glow of the lamp beside the bed.
Gahyeon reached behind her, unhooking her bra and letting it fall away. Her breasts spilled into his hands, and he couldn’t resist the urge to lean forward, taking one hardened nipple into his mouth. She moaned, arching into him as his tongue flicked over the sensitive bud.
Her hands gripped his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin as she ground against him again, the thin barrier of his pants doing little to muffle the electric sensation coursing through them. “Y/n,” she gasped, her voice tinged with desperation. “I need you.”
He didn’t need to be told twice. With a swift motion, he flipped her onto her back, pinning her beneath him as he kicked off his pants and boxers. Her legs wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer, and he positioned himself at her entrance, the tip of his cock pressing against her slick folds.
“Look at me,” Gahyeon commanded, her voice soft but firm. He obeyed, locking eyes with her as he slowly pushed inside, inch by torturous inch. Her breath hitched, her body stretching to accommodate him, and she bit her lip to stifle a whimper.
When he was fully seated inside her, they paused, savoring the feeling of being joined together. Gahyeon’s nails raked down his back, leaving faint red trails in their wake. “Fuck me,” she whispered, her voice dripping with desire. “Show me who you belong to.”
Y/n growled, gripping her hips as he began to move, his thrusts slow and deliberate at first but quickly building in intensity. Gahyeon’s moans filled the room, mingling with the sound of skin slapping against skin as he drove into her again and again.
Her legs tightened around him, urging him deeper, and she arched her back, crying out as pleasure rocked through her body. “Yes,” she gasped, her voice breaking on the word. “Just like that…”
Y/n’s hips pistoned relentlessly, each stroke bringing them closer to the edge. Gahyeon’s nails dug into his shoulders, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she clung to him. “Don’t stop,” she begged, her voice a desperate plea. “Please, don’t stop.”
He obliged, his pace increasing as his own orgasm loomed dangerously close. Gahyeon’s walls clenched around him, and he knew she was teetering on the brink. “Come for me,” he growled, his voice rough with need.
Her answer was a strangled cry as she shattered, her body convulsing around him as wave after wave of ecstasy crashed over her. The sight of her unraveling pushed him over the edge, and with a final thrust, he spilled himself inside her, his release intense and all-consuming.
They collapsed together, their bodies slick with sweat and trembling with the aftershocks of pleasure. Gahyeon’s fingers traced idle patterns on his back, her breathing gradually slowing as she nuzzled against his neck. “Mine,” she murmured sleepily, her voice soft but unwavering.
Y/n didn’t argue. For now, he was content to let her claim him, even if the cost of her love was his freedom. But deep down, a part of him wondered how much longer he could endure the weight of her possession…

For people who actually need to write about something they don't know, here's some tips that changed how I saw that saying:
A lot of the time, stuff you don't know can be fixed by looking it up. Like if you don't know how to build a medieval sword but your character is making one. That's something you can find online or in a book or by talking to an expert. But for the more nebulous stuff, it's more about the feeling than the actual thing.
Say your character is an alien in the prestigious Relclaosyi, but no one wants to partner with them for the dragshvli team up mission because their eyes don't hshsh like everyone else's and no one likes that.
You as the writer are (probably) not an alien, and so how could you possible know what being an alien is like? But what you do know, or at least can put yourselves into the shoes of, is someone who's an outcast for something out of your control. That feeling is what you write down, and all the space bits are just accessories to that feeling.
“write what you know” yeah but what if i write what i could never know. i DO NOT know what it’s like to be a sea cucumber. but i would like to find out

Tags: @eiuuui so far, thank you very much for showing interest!
Tumblr media
"SYLUS, hurry up! We are going to be late!"
"I'll have to remind you that I am never late."
"Shut it! It's your fault, look at this mess!"
"Personally, I think I look quite dashing, regardless."
Y/N scowled up at his smug little smirk, swatting his chest rather harshly in reprimand. She tried to save his suit by gliding her fingers over the absurd amount of fabric wrinkles, straightening his coat as carefully as she could.
"I can't believe this, it's like I'm dating a three years old," she muttered under her breath, making Sylus swallow down a laugh at her adorable grumbling.
His girlfriend wasn't usually a overly fussy person, but tonight was a exception. Not only was it New Years, but it was also Tara's birthday. She wanted to be there early and leave as late as possible. Problem was, the leader of Onychinus got into some trouble himself with some petty burglars, and her so carefully put-together outfit she made him wear was not in the best conditions.
"If anyone asks me at this point, I don't know you."
This time, Sylus really did laugh, wrapping a arm around her waist, his touch warm and tender against her backside. She narrowed her eyes up at him, knowing exactly what he is trying to do the moment he brought her closer and into his embrace.
"Your dear Tara would be disappointed, she was excited to see your plus one, no?... We don't want to upset her on her birthday," he tucked a stray hair behind her ear, before his thumb and index finger trailed down to cup her chin, tilting her head up.
Wow, now that was unfair.
"Um... first of, let me go," Y/N poked his nose, "second, we are going to upset her by being late. Clean up your shoes and let's go!" she gave him a wet towel, turning around to finish some last minute preparations.
Sylus sighed, very reluctant to release her but nevertheless heed her order. He glanced down at his shoes, crouching down to wipe off some bloody remnants. Thankfully, his formal oxford shoes came in black.
"I'm nervous," Y/N suddenly spoke, waiting for him to finish. She, of course, was dolled up with a black terra woolen vintage dress that he bought only for her, and dark winter pantyhose paired with black heels. His eyes softened as he watched her playing with the material, a pleasant little smile on her lips.
He knew she didn't get many chances to dress up, often having insecurities about not being and not feeling pretty. So the silver-haired man took quiet pleasure at seeing her so content.
He'll share all his treasure gold with her, if he gets to see her insecurities crumbling away.
"Why is that, sweetie?"
She shrugged, glossed lips tilting up to a sheepish smile. "Tara, Caleb, Zayne... you know they're like my family, right?"
He hummed in acknowledgement, feeling his eyes narrowing at the memory of a tall dark haired doctor and the way he was looking at her. "I'm aware."
"So... you're meeting them for the first time... as my boyfriend," she shrugged. "You don't think it's a bit... soon?"
He paused, looking at her blankly.
She glanced at him, apprehensive.
He looked at her.
And she looked at him back.
Oh.
Sylus came to an abrupt realisation, feeling his face paling.
I'm meeting my in-laws.
Tumblr media
"So you are the infamous Sylus, huh?" Tara looked up at him, crossing her arms and leaning her weight on one leg. She was a tiny thing to Sylus perspective, looking like a irritated hamster more than anything else.
"Coming so late to dinner, aren't you ashamed?" Caleb mimicked her actions, though his glare was much more prominent, and though he was around the same height and build as Sylus, it didn't erase his youthful features the least.
"Caleb." Y/N warned him, shoulders squaring up.
"My apologies," Sylus apologised smoothly, wrapping a arm around Y/N's back, making sure it was in a appropriate distance from her behind. The effect was instantaneous, for his little kitten immediately relaxed at his touch. "I'm afraid we got stuck in a traffic because of me."
"Oh?" Tara raised an eyebrow. "Because of you?"
"I forgot to change the car tires for the current snowy weather," he patted Y/N's head, making her purse her lips at his lies. Not because she didn't approve, everything to get out of her best friends' scrutiny really, but because she didn't want to laugh. There was a elephant in the room that was waiting to be addressed. "Thankfully, Y/N reminded me the moment she noticed it."
"You're rather reckless," Caleb huffed.
Sylus smiled, this time in both amusement and sincerity. "Your friend hasn't let me forget that, either."
Tara and Caleb glanced at Y/N, and the three of them had a strange stare off that Sylus wasn't privy to.
Honestly, he was almost offended.
Finally, Tara turned away from them both and rolled her eyes, grinning up at him energetically. "Well, it seems like we are going to spend New Years together! Welcome to my home!"
"A pleasure to be here," he nodded, and when a sharp jolt tugged his wrist, he glanced at his girlfriend with a raised eyebrow.
Y/N looked beyond irritated, something that activated alarms on his head. His eyes narrowed, looking at Caleb with a red flash of warning.
The boy had the decency to look regretful, at least.
"Excuse us for a bit, we'll be at the veranda."
Y/N exhaled a sigh of relief as he tagged her closer, escorting them out from the tense atmosphere.
"What is wrong with you?!" They heard Tara hissing, before a clap sounded from their direction, most likely from her hand hitting the back of Caleb's head.
Y/N sighed, but chuckled softly, her heart warming knowing her true friend was on her side at least. She knew Caleb was rather cautious as a fighter pilot, at the Deepspace Aviation Administration in Skyhaven at that, but the fact that he couldn't even be at least polite to her boyfriend was a dealbreaker.
"I haven't ruined your new years, have I?" Sylus broke the companiable silence, looking down at her with a soft red gaze.
"Of course not," Y/N reassured him, leaning her head on his bicep, their eyes tracking the slow fall of the snowflakes to the white ground. "Caleb and Zayne are being difficult, that's all."
He hummed. "I understand why Zayne didn't come, it's honestly for the best and if anything, I do not hold it against him."
"Hm? What do you mean?"
He smirked down at her. "Men talk too, sweetie."
She pouted, wrapping her arms around him, her chin resting comfortably on his chest. "I didn't know you and him were buddy-buddies."
"We are not," he was quick to refuse, as if the mere thought of it was repulsive. "We have just come to an understanding."
"An understanding?"
"As men." he nodded.
"As men," she mocked, jabbing her index finger at his side, making him gasp. "Does he have a new years date?!" Y/N became excited, she always wanted to see Zayne in a relationship, but the man was always so busy with his hospital work.
Sylus glared at her, clasping her hand on his firmly, his smirk widening on his lips. "I find it funny, how excited you seem to see if another man brought some-"
"Shh!" she shushed him, having the audacity to look annoyed as she placed her finger on his lips, silencing him. "Don't even start with the whole jealousy thing. He's one of my best friends, I just want him to be happy."
Sylus couldn't help it, he kissed her finger gently, before nibbling on the skin with a content sigh, his hands traveling down her arms to tag her closer, relishing the gasp that escaped from her pretty mouth.
"Does he know that. hm?" His fingers danced over her shoulders, touch featherlike, testing her own resolve.
"Yes," Y/N said firmly. "Don't enunciate otherwise. We are good friends to each other. You should try being one too."
Sylus chuckled, his entire being dripping with amusement. "Oh, I'm an excellent friend," he leaned in, lips brushing her temple. "Especially for you, kitten."
Y/N closed her eyes, eyebrows furrowing in slight contempt. "I don't like it when you get like this."
His head dipped even closer than before, their nose almost brushing against each other. "What? Jealous?" He chuckled. "You are mine, after all, and I become nothing but just a man when it comes to you." He tilted his head, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to the soft skin of her cheek. "Besides... I know you like me like this."
She felt her face warming up, a shaky laugh escaping her lips. "You're incorrigible, and insane, and you have absolutely nothing to be jealous of," she reached out to cup his face lovingly, brushing her thumb over the flushed apple of his cheek. "The one I adore is you."
And that was all he needed to hear for his being to relax. His crimson eyes softened, glistening softly under the christimas lights. His breath hitched on his throat, lips darting out to lick his suddenly dry lips. He chuckled lowly, leaning to her touch, nuzzling to her warm hand. He could feel his heart beating wildly against his chest, tightening almost painfully.
So that's what it feels like, loving someone unconditionally.
"Bad kitten," he breathed out, closing his eyes as he inhaled that sweet scent of yours from inside your wrist. "You always know how to push my buttons."
Y/N felt her own heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help herself when she stepped even closer to him, tilting his head towards her. She rose on her tiptoes and kissed his chin, reveling the sound of his small and almost quiet surprised gasp. She wrapped her arms around him and jumped up, placing a quick kiss on his lips.
She almost giggled at how lovestruck he looked, but she knows she mustn't look much different either.
Sylus sighed, a loving smile appearing on his face as he leaned down, capturing Y/N's lips with his own. He stayed right then and there, relishing the feeling of the soft plump skin, of the way her sighs spurred him on even more, and the way she cradled his head in her hands, as if he was her most precious treasure.
Sylus never felt more loved before.
It was a foreign feeling, before she came waltzing into his life like a thunderstorm.
"Alright guys, only one minute left!" Tara banged on the door, knowing very well to not go into places where couples reside. She learned her lesson back in the hospital, when she visited Dr. Greyson. Zayne walking in on them should be a picture posted in history books.
Y/N sighed, parting away from him slowly, almost reluctantly. Sylus wasn't done with her though, for his head dipped down to leave a trail of fire down her neck, making her hum in pleasure.
"Come on, my big bad wolf, we're going to miss the fireworks," she huffed out a laugh, taking a step back and grasping his hand, tugging him towards the other side of the house.
Tumblr media
"10!"
If someone told her she would be dating the leader of a criminal organisation a year ago, she would have laughed right in their face.
"9!"
If someone told him he would fall in love with a hunter, the very people who chase after him to put him behind bars, he would have called you delusional.
"8!"
Yet they were here.
"7!"
Bound by duty, like a contract at first, trying to outplan one another. Hating each other guts.
"6!"
Yet they still fell in love, somewhere in the way.
"5!"
They don't know when it happened, maybe it was that cold november night, not even a month after they met.
"4!"
Maybe it was when they first kissed. Or was it when they almost lost each other at the hands of death?
"3!"
"Sylus?"
"2!"
"Hm?"
"1!"
"I love you, darling."
"Happy New Year!"
She saw the way his lips parted, before a brilliant smile graced his features. He was gentle, and tender, and warm and loving. It made fall in love with him all over again. It made her mad, almost obsessed.
"I love you too, my love," he whispered in her ear, placing a loving kiss on the side of her forehead, eyebrows furrowing in subtle longing.
Y/N sighed, and fell into his warm embrace.
Tumblr media
A/N: I hope you guys like this new years special! I loved tapping into Sylus jealousy, because I don't find him as someone who will easily get jealous like Xavier, but he can definitely feel it as subtle as it was. Plus, I think out of all the LI's, he would probably be more alert about Zayne, especially considering his history with us.
Happy new years, Sylus girlies!

Hi! I just read your TFA! Bulkhead short story and was wondering if we could have a few more crumbs? I really like bulkhead and the idea of meeting Sari as you have to will every bone in your body to not run when Bulkhead's looming over both of you.
I love ur work BTW, make sure you take breaks when needed and drink water! Also don't starve :)
Sure!
Tumblr media
Time Turned Fragile Pt 2
TFA Bulkhead x Reader
• Heart racing, you follow the giant and shiver as you spot another of them inside the big space. Wondering if you’re going to be allowed to leave again. See the moment the other one notices you, pushing his black and gold frame away from the wall and silently approaching. Your huge chaperone, gestures at the newcomer. “I’m Bulkhead and this is Prowl.” Head tipping slightly at you, the thinner robot lays a hand on the big guy. “Bulkhead, a word?” Flashing a brittle smile at them, as the two move off to whisper about you in a corner.
• “What exactly are you doing?” Prowl asks, voice pitched low as they both glance at you. Watching you wander about, frowning. “Sari needs another human,” Bulkhead mutters, because no matter how hard they try, they’re not human. Don’t really know how to care for her. “She shouldn’t have to only have us.” Shouldn’t be isolated from other humans to spend time with them. Venting tiredly, he rubs at his helm as Prowl reluctantly nods. But Ratchet and Optimus are going to be the ones that really need convincing. And they’re not going to like more humans knowing about them.
• Stiffening when Bulkhead returns, looming over you, and gesturing for you to follow him deeper into the building. Skin prickling, you look around. There are signs that there is a kid here. A small shoe on the concrete floor. A stuffed animal tossed on a counter. How old is this kid? Nine or ten? Younger? Eyes narrowing, you hear laughter. And then he’s leading you into a new space and you spot the little girl sitting on a dirty, threadbare couch that looks like it was thieved from a street corner. And beside her, a yellow robot smaller than the other two with a controller like Sari’s in hand. “Sari?” You call out and they both look up from their video game.
• “Oh, you’re going to be in trouble,” Bumblebee sings out, laughing and sitting up straighter to grin as Sari looks from you to Bulkhead in question. And you kneel on the floor, offering Sari a completely different smile than you’d given him. A real smile that makes you seem softer. Gentler. “Can we talk a minute?” You ask her and Sari looks to him, sliding off the couch when he nods encouragingly at her. Her expression suspicious as you offer her a hand that she doesn’t take. But Sari does follow you out into the hall to talk.
• “Are you okay here? With them?” You ask and the little girl frowns up at you. “With my family?” She counters and some of your tension eases. Because she doesn’t seem frightened or intimidated by them. Family, though? What exactly happened for her to end up with them? Is she homeless? “When’s the last time you’ve had a hot meal?” You ask and her expression becomes guarded. “They feed me,” she says, skinny arms crossing as her chin lifts. Enough, though? Want to pry and ask more questions, but the little girl’s expression is defiant.
• Straightening as you return and then walk right past him, Bulkhead trails behind you. “You’re not going to help?” He asks and you look at him over your shoulder. That open smile is gone again, face blank as you stare up at him. “I’m going to go get groceries,” you say and he follows you to the door and watches you disappear out into the street. Hoping you’ll actually come back.

If you haven't made a part 2 of Scaramouche's pre remembering where he was back to Kabukimono, please make one I'm begging 🙏 Thank you
You stand by a small pond somewhere in Sumeru, it's hot outside and as you cautiously remove your shoes and prepare to at least submerge your feet for the time being in the cool waters, you suddenly feel someone tap on your shoulder.
You turn around and are face to face with Kabukimono. Or...? He had a familiar dead look in his eyes...was this?
"So you actually were attracted to me when I was that ignorant? " He asked in his old expected flat tone that you were used to. Crossing his arms as he looked you over.
"it's not like it was a different person. Besides even if your personality was off, I was still just spending time with someone I care about." You turn back around to grab your shoes from where you tossed them, Scaramouche catches you off guard and suddenly wraps his arms around your waist. Pulling you against him as you gasp, feeling his hand move down quickly to cup your clothed mound underneath your skirt. His fingers traced your slit through your panties, his cool breath against your ear sending shivers down your spine as you whimpered.
"oh I'm sure we did spend quite a lot of time together. In fact I remember our most recent encounter lasting at least an hour, maybe more." Scara squeezes the softness of your breasts with his other hand, his forefinger and thumb pinching one of your tender nipples as he gives you a gentle kiss on the neck.
"and? Maybe I didn't mind. Maybe I liked being with you in that mindset. You were rather... attentive." You admit reluctantly as you suddenly feel him slide past your underwear and plunge two fingers deep into your cunt. Wiggling them around and teasing you before immediately going to rub against your sweet spot almost roughly. You can't help but moan softly as you take the sudden intrusion easily. Just like he had always trained you to do before in the past.
"so that was it huh? You wanted attention." He murmured as he continued to casually bring you to orgasm with his fingers as if it were nothing.
"as annoying as these attention seeking tendencies of yours are, I'm glad that at least you were smart enough to seek me out even considering my...state." he let you ride his palm as you began to rock your hips a little. A small reward on his part you supposed. Usually he got upset if you tried to make yourself finish without his permission.
"of course I would find you! I wouldn't ever let-ah! I wouldn't ever let someone else touch me like this!" You whined pitifully as you struggled to stay upright now.
You leaned back against Scaramouche as you felt your insides flutter. He chuckled lightly as he felt your warmth suddenly coat his hand.
He brings his fingers to your mouth then.
"don't make me ask. You know what to do." His usual authoritative tone gave you butterflies as you obediently began to lick and suck your own pussy juices off of his fingers.
You could feel how hard he was from behind as you did too.
You knew what would come next.
And sure enough, slowly Scara began to tug at your skirt. His fingers sliding into the waistband and pulling the clothing article down past your thighs and quickly to your ankles. You step out of the fabric and watch as he tosses it aside. Getting back to his feet and giving you a look you immediately recognized. You turned around and slowly began to remove your soaking wet panties next.
Scaramouche was someone who definitely had an eye for beautiful things. He often enjoyed it when you gave him a little show and knowing this, you wiggled your hips a little as you slid your underwear to your knees. Lifting your ass up for his viewing as you finally made yourself completely vulnerable from the waist down. Slowly you turn your head to look at him as you remain in your bent over position.
He eyed your glistening sex with a dark sort of hunger in his indigo eyes.
"you learn well. I always did like that about you. It seems even after being unnecessarily spoiled by a former version of myself, you know your true place still." He rasps as you suddenly feel him slap his hand across your ass cheek rather hard. Making you only get wetter for him. He does it again.
"I should reward you for your loyalty. You had the opportunity to run off and easily never see me again, yet you sought me out." He began to untie his belt and undo the layers of his own clothing as he gave your ass another spank.
"but I've had a rather rough past twenty four hours. And I need to relieve myself a little." He frees his cock from his shorts as they fall to the ground. Scara rubs his soft pink tip against your wet slit as he grabs your hips and holds you in place. He notices as you flinch a little at his words.
"heh, you never did like when I used you for stress relief. But I'm afraid that this time it's necessary." He pushes past your folds and into your pussy. You let out a breathy and shaky sigh, making yourself get used to him quickly as he immediately begins to thrust.
"you still take my cock so well you know? It almost makes me feel a little bad for what I'm about to do." He suddenly begins to move faster. You keep your palms firmly planted against the grass beneath you as scara fucks you deep. Making your entire body shake with pleasure as you hear him groan and comment in a sultry tone about how tight you are still.
It's then that you feel him let go of one of your hips and instead grab a fistful of your long hair. You wince as you feel your scalp being yanked on but that's nothing compared to what happens next. Scara begins to thrust faster than he practically ever had before. Harder too. You want to both scream and moan as you struggle not to lose your balance.
"S-Scara please! too fast!" You mewl sweetly and breathily. Barely able to form full sentences as your g spot was assaulted relentlessly and almost brutally. You felt your body being forced into another orgasm quickly.
He slaps your ass HARD.
"don't call me that." He commands.
Not this again.
"well what the hell-ah!"
"watch your tone slut." He slapped your ass painfully yet again. You knew it was gonna hurt to sit later if he kept this up. So you chose to play nice.
"Sorry... please forgive me!" He slams his dick so deeply into you that you swear he actually fucked into your womb for a second at your plea.
"that's more like it. Now since you asked nicely, you shall call me Wanderer from now on. Understand?" He yanks your head back by your hair. Forcing you to arch uncomfortably and make eye contact with him as he continues to fuck you mercilessly.
"yes Wanderer, I understand. "
"good girl."
He continues to use your cunt to get himself off after that. You feel your pussy squeezing his thick length and squirting now and then yet Wanderer doesn't slow down or stop until he's finished deep inside of you at least 7 times. By then, you're a teary and sweaty mess and he finally seems to remember your fragile nature as a mortal. Finishing in you one last time before finally pulling out of your used cunt with a loud *POP* as he supports your entire body with one arm wrapped around your middle.
You tremble as you feel him pull you against him again and this time into his lap as he collapses to the ground in a sitting position.
Wanderer uses his knees to pull yours apart again as he quickly finds your clit. He plays with it rather gently, almost like he did before as Kabukimono.
"you did well. As usual. Perhaps I should give you something in return hmm?" Your head rolls to the side a little as you prepare to let him continue to do whatever he has planned next but for some reason, once he sees your unenthusiasm, Wanderer suddenly stops. Removing his hand completely before tearing off a small part of his cape and using it to... clean the area between your legs.
You were stunned.
Why was he being so nice? Scara never cared before if you were tired what happened to him?
He seemed to almost read your mind.
"don't think about it too much. I've just come to the realization lately that not taking your fragile vessel into consideration during our... encounters may cause your body to experience damage and exhaustion over time. I want to keep you around for a while, so I'm going to make sure that you are in the right condition to leave from now on after we meet." He gets up and goes over to the waters edge close by and cleans the piece of blue fabric before returning and helping you clean up a little more. After that he orders you to drink some water too and sit for a bit before heading off.
He stays with you this time too. Watching you almost protectively as you catch your breath and lay against a tree not too far away from him.
This man was different.
He wasn't Kabukimono.
But he also wasn't Scaramouche.
If anything he seemed to be a mix of both.
You liked Wanderer.
Even if you weren't used to him yet.
And you honestly didn't want there to be a next meetup.
You wanted to stay with him forever.
And for some reason you had a feeling that he wanted the same this time.

"... I was under the impression that I would be fighting someone? Impress? What, am I supposed to court the hero while I'm at it?"
The sidekick groans, pulling at her hair with a grim expression. "Yeah. That's what this is about. You- are you not going to become the hero's archenemy?"
The villain looks confused. "I can't become the hero's archenemy if I don't- court them?"
Shaking her head, the sidekick pulls off the villain's shirt aggressively. He wanted to wear a T-shirt- a T-shirt! To his first official battle with the hero. It'll be broadcast, for heavens sake!
"It's not just about courting, you know. First impressions are important, and your impression was mediocre at best. We're lucky that the hero wants to fight you again at all! Your shoes were tacky, your hair dye was fading and your roots were grown out, and your shirt! Again with the shirts, boss. The presentation saved you, with the explosions and all. This time, I'm not letting you outside until you are fit to be the hero's archenemy."
He looks confused. His sidekick has all but stripped him to his tighty whiteys, and left to fetch clothes out of the closet. What was the point of stripping him if they were going to leave? The air is cold on his skin. He shivers.
Still in hearing range, the villain speaks loudly to continue the conversation. "None of that answered my question! Why am I courting the hero?"
"Well, it isn't really courting," the sidekick calls back. "Just, you have to earn your spot as his archenemy. Otherwise you'll get tossed around between hero associations, with no one in particular wanting to fight you. That's bad rep! Since he will be your first archenemy, you've gotta get it right. No second chances, they say."
The sidekick starts to manhandle her boss into new clothes, fashioning a grey button up with a bow collar and a black cloak, whose inside is lined with red velvet that has various swirly designs inside, giving the impression that the villain is backdropped in blood. His pants are dressy and fitted to his measurements, while the waistband goes higher than he's used to. It makes his waist look small.
"I don't know about this... shouldn't I look, you know, scary? I look like I'm going on a fancy date."
His sidekick mumbles something under their breath while tying his knee high boots. They have a minor heel on them, and he'd like the extra height if it weren't for the slender appearance of his calves. He works out, but this outfit smooths over his defined muscles, and even his dress shirt has loose sleeves. They round out his arms before connecting with his cuffs.
"Look, boss, don't you want to fight him? You told me that you really enjoyed your last encounter. You even licked the blood on your busted lip when you said it. This is just what you have to do if you want him to keep coming back to you!"
The villain grumbles, sliding his palms down his legs to search for some pockets, to rest his fidgety hands in, but to no avail.
"... Can I at least have pants with pockets?"
"Your coat has pockets, boss."
"It's not the same."
"Just deal with it for today. I'd have to redo the outfit if we changed the pants now. You have to be early, so that the hero can witness your silhouette behind the setting sun, with the blood red velvet accented by the orange rays of light. I tagged where to stand on your map; it'll look amazing."
"Right..."
His sidekick finishes lacing up the boots. It took far longer than his normal pairs of shoes. They feel stiffer too, because he hasn't broken them in yet.
"Listen boss, you can flirt as much as you want today-"
"Flirt?"
They continue, ignoring the question. His sidekick points accusingly at his face.
"-but you can't reveal my existence just yet. That isn't for until we get the laser finished. I have a whole plan." She waves her hand in the air, nonchalant. "He finds the laser, you confront him in the building, and when he's preparing to escape after you defeat him, I'll swoop in and knock him out. I'll help you interrogate him while he's tied up in the cell. It'll be a great entrance for me."
"So that's what that cell is for." He hadn't used it yet. She didn't tell him why they needed this facility specifically, only that it needed a place for a laser and a dungeon.
"Yes. I'm still wondering if we should make it comfy or not. Some heroes like the brutality of it, others prefer to keep it simple. Some even want to be taken care of in a fancy room with good food during their stay- they like the demeaning nature of it."
"Should I ask him?" He asks her sarcastically.
"No need. I'll watch the footage from your hidden camera. It's in your collar, the base of the bow? The fabric shouldn't flap around too much. I'll listen to your conversations and make the judgement myself."
"Okay..." the villain feels a little under qualified for his position. His 'sidekick' is starting to feel less like a sidekick and more like an idol manager. "So, if this goes wrong, does that mean I can't fight him again?"
"Basically. The hero corp will watch the footage of your confrontation from the TV or the hero's hidden cam, and decide if they'll assign him to your case. It's phrased in a more, 'hero,' type way, but that's what it means. There's a lot of work that goes into finding a hero-villain match, but I think you two really work together."
"... This feels like matchmaking. I'm not doing this to date him."
"Right."
"You don't sound like you believe me."
"I mean, obviously it'll take a while."
"What does that mean?"
"A bond between hero and villain can take some time to form, it's okay. The frustrating aspect of being defeated or succeeding too much can affect your relationship. If you really aren't a match, we can request a new hero from the committee."
"No, I feel like you're misunderstanding me. I like fighting him."
"So you have to dress nice! To see him again."
"This is not going to be that type of relationship. Fighting and thwarting only."
"Right. I know that. Anyway, you should get going."
"You-"
"If you're late you won't get to meet him again."
The villain runs to the door. "This conversation isn't over!"
"Have fun!"
The door to the dressing room slams closed. The sidekick hums, picking up their boss's previous outfit off the ground. They catch it on fire with their ability. When it is reduced to ashes, she cleans up the mess.
"... I wonder if the hero has a sidekick."
They leave the room to go watch the fight from the villain's hidden camera.
Prompt (466)
"That's what you're wearing to fight the hero?" the villain's sidekick asked skeptically.
The villain looked down at their clothes. "Yeah. Why?"
"Nothing, it's just. . .a little basic. You want to impress them, don't you?"

A/N:: This is way shorter than I intended it to be but I love this so much omggggg I hope you like it 👻 🙏
Txt masterlist:: 🍡
🎧::
Taehyun has a hidden side to him most people don't know about. He is loyal and trustful but when his girlfriend starts feeling up his members he gets a little...jealous.
As soon as you get home from your outing with txt he slams the door and takes your wrist, spinning you to look at him. "What was that all about?" His brows furrowed but his eyes held something more sensitive in them, maybe hurt?
"I don't know what you're talking about," you chuckle, lying a little bit, but you didn't want to upset him as much as you did. You wanted to give him a little nudge of jealousy hoping he'd fuck it out of you later but you might've pushed it.
"Seriously?" Taehyun scoffs and lets go of your wrist. "Go to bed, I wanna talk about this," he takes off his shoes and jacket as you head to the bedroom, a little nervous but undoubtedly excited. When he gets to the room he sits down next to you, seemingly more calm than earlier. "So wanna explain why you were sitting on Beomgyu's lap for like twenty minutes while I was right there?" He crosses his arms.
"He asked me to! And I didn't wanna say no because you know those puppy eyes he gives," you try to excuse yourself but taehyun shakes his head.
"Sure sure but you can't deny the way he was holding your waist and talking softly in your ear wasn't somewhat...romantic? You didn't think to tell him not to because you have a boyfriend standing right in front of the two of you?" He reads you like an open book and you get flushed. "Or was that your intention? Get me all pissed off so I'll fuck the attention whore out of you?" He hits the nail on the head and you don't know how to excuse yourself. Be honest or keep lying? Obey or disobey?
"W-Well, I didn't mean to make you this upset..." You look down shyly and Taehyun chuckles before lifting your chin to look at him.
"But that is what you wanted no?" He brushes his thumb against your lower lip, encouraging you to be honest.
"Yes..." you finally admit and Taehyun chuckles softly.
"Then you're gonna get what you wanted, brat," he pins you down to the bed abruptly, and even as you try to squirm away, taehyun skillfully keeps you down by using his hands and thighs. "What were you thinking I would do to you hm? What was on your mind?" He teases but he doesn't let you answer. "Let me guess, that vibrator torcher you love so much?" He tilts his head and your face flushes as you nod. "That's what I thought. Now," he picks himself up off of you, still caging your body between his thick thighs. "Strip and wait here," he pulls himself up before retrieving the necessary tools to get you wailing.
He digs out the restraints for both your wrists and ankles and you already knew he was going to make this unbearable for you. He gets you tied down to the bed before finally revealing the vibrator. He presses it against your clit, still turned off, teasing you as much as possible.
"Fuck, please," you whine and buck your hips into the vibrator to create some kind of friction but it's nothing like what you crave.
"Please what?" He tilts his head as he grins up at you.
"Turn it on," you whine, dragging out your words. Taehyun thought about teasing you for a little longer but since you asked so nicely he decided to turn it on the lowest setting. The little buzz from the toy was enough to make your entire body jerk up and your hips lean into the toy. Taehyun can't hide his smirk as he watches you wiggle and worm around, seeking more pleasure, but his hand follows your clit skillfully, never letting it get a break from the vibrations. Your soft moans and cries fill the room as the vibrations chase your body.
"Why are you trying to squirm away baby? I thought this is what you wanted," Terry teases you more, his voice low and raspy. "If it's not what you wanted I can always turn it off," He smirks as his thumb hovers over the power button.
"No, no please, keep going," You whine as you shake your head but it was too late, the faint buzz came to a stop and you squirm beneath him. He applies a quick slap to your clit, making you jump.
"Stop wiggling so much," He huffs and you stop, not without whimpering softly. "Are these restraints not tight enough? Need me to keep you tightly spread open?" He says as he rolls the lifeless vibrator against your folds.
"N-No, I'll stop squirming," You plead and Taehyun chuckles at your desperation.
"Alright then," He flicks the toy back on, a setting higher this time, and watches as your body quivers. The toy he's using on you only has four settings but it is the most intense vibrator you own by a long shot, aka this is real torture right now.
You toss your head back with a moan as Taehyun runs the toy up and down your folds at a slow, torturous, pace. Every time the toy gets back up to your clit he presses down harder, making the buzz feel like it's shooting straight up your body. Your body flinches at the feeling, moving without your control and tugging on the restraints as you let out a broken cry. "What's this outburst? Feeling close?" Taehyun smirks. He had asked you if you were getting close but Terry can read your body like an open book with giant font, aka he knew you were on the verge of breaking.
"Yes, fuck," Your hips buck up again and of course Taehyun follows with the toy.
"Look at that, you're almost there," He grins as he watches you pull on the restraints. Just as you feel that warmth begin to fill your body it's gone within an instant, along with the vibrations. You let out a frustrated groan and Taehyun chuckles. "Did you really think I was gonna give it to you this early?"
"Not really but that doesn't mean the orgasm was any less real," You whine but he just laughs at you.
"Ah, you're so cute when you're being all bratty and sulky," He smiles as he watches your body quiver as you come down from the edge you were on. "Now, shall we get you to the edge again hm? I bet it will take a lot less time this round," He flicks the vibrator back on, notching it up to level three which instantly has your legs trying to pull up but instead they pull on the leather cuffs around your ankles. You moan and squirm as the vibrations buzz through your body, getting up into your head, making you dizzy in bliss. You felt yourself getting closer to the edge way faster this time, just like he predicted, but you didn't want to admit it. "Look at this, already struggling to hold it together?" He chuckles at you as you try to get a grip on yourself. "Oh, I love watching you like this, a little brat being reminded where she stands," He turns the vibrator up. "Beg for it brat," Taehyun presses the vibrator against your swollen clit harshly.
"Ah, please!" Are the only words you could form, your head reeling with a buzzing pleasure that makes it hard to focus. "I-I can't even think straight," You admit. "Please just let me cum, I'll do anything," You whine and your last statement intrigues him.
"Anything huh?" He cocks his head but you can't even reply, too overwhelmed with the all consuming pleasure rushing through your body. Finally you tip over the edge and your entire body shakes at the intensity of the orgasm. He waits patiently for you to recover, slowly decreasing the vibrations, as you pant heavily. He undoes the restraints and tosses them aside. "So, how was that little orgasm?" He teases and you smile blissfully.
"Amazing, I feel above the clouds right now," You giggle before sitting up, now free to move.
"About that little plead..." He smirks mischievously, hinting that you weren't let off yet. "That you'd do anything if I let you cum?"
"Fuck, let me guess, you wanna fuck me doggy style?" You sigh and Taehyun nods with a little grin, seemingly so innocent. You don't refuse him, not hesitant at all, and get into position as he undresses. You prop a pillow up underneath your chin to bury your face in later because you know you'll need it. You feel Taehyun bring a gentle hand up to your hip, pulling your ass up and spreading your legs a little.
"You're gonna be good for me right?" He says as he rubs his tip through your folds. You nod with a whine and a loud clap echoes in the room as he slaps your ass. "Couldn't hear you baby," He says in a low and soft tone despite his previous loud and harsh action earlier.
"Yes Taehyun," You say softly but he accepts it. He then gently pushes his cock past your walls, slipping in with ease due to your previous orgasm. You let out a long broken moan as he glides into your hilt. He hardly gives you time to adjust and begins to slowly thrust into you. The buzz from your previous orgasm still lingered, the warmth and tingling sensation hanging in your body.
"Admit that you were sitting with Beomgyu solely to make me jealous," He growls into your ear. "Weren't you? Little brat," He spanks you again, this one harsher to punctuate his words.
"I-I did, I'm sorry!" You cry out as the sting lingers on your skin and you can practically feel the hand print forming on your ass.
"Good girl," He praises before wrapping his hand around your throat, picking your head up. "You won't do that again right?" He begins to thrust faster and the hold he has on your throat makes it even harder to form words. You feel saliva building in your mouth due to struggling to swallow it. "Right?" He begins to thrust deeper.
"Yes," You choke out and he grins as he feels you drool onto his hand.
"Good girl, my good little slut," He growls as the room fills with the sound of your skin colliding harshly. Every time he slaps his hips into your ass the knot in your gut tightens, tighter and tighter until you can't ignore it.
"T-Taehyun," You breathe out as tears well in your eyes from the overwhelming pleasure.
"I know baby," He grins, "You're about to cum aren't you? Want me to fill you up as you break for me?" He sneaks in a little tease like always.
"Yes! Fuck, I'm close!" You gasp out and Terry's hips move at an unimaginable pace. "Taehyun!" You bury your face in the pillow, wetting the fabric with your tears and saliva. With one last thrust Taehyun empties inside you, moaning and grunting as he does so.
"Good girl, fuck, you're all mine," He rests his sweaty forehead against your upper back, panting heavily. He brings a gentle hand down to your ass, rubbing it softly. "Was I...Too mean?" He asks innocently, returning to his caring boyfriend self.
"No...that was so hot," You chuckle softly.
"You were so hot,"

cw: reader is a monster, mature themes, violence, profanity, innuendos, phosphorus is phosphorus, gore, blood, demon shit, reader might be a bit op but who cares.
Tumblr media
"Are they fuckin' killing each other?" you scoffed, incredulously, as you pressed your pointed ear against the door with G.I Robot.
"Not too far off from what you sounded like an hour ago, sunshine," Phosphorus teased, reaching out to touch you.
"You wanna lose that hand?"
Instantly, your tail whipped up, its sharp edge pointing directly at his throat, Weasel letting out a whimper at the sudden movement.
The four of you were outside the bathroom, waiting for Ilana to finish patching up Flag's injuries.
Though, as made evident by the aggressive, obnoxious moaning, they seemed to have gotten side-tracked.
'Typical...'
Nodding, Phosphorus raised his hands in defense, smirking—unbeknownst to you.
"Message received."
"Have you seen General Flag?" Alexi asked, appearing seemingly out of nowhere.
The four of you glanced at each other, before turning to face him with indifferent expressions.
"Uh, yeah, why?" Phosphorus shrugged.
"Because he should be informed that two of your teammates have left the grounds."
Your eyes widened, slightly, brow raising with confusion.
'The Bride... and Nina?'
You knew the Bride didn't give a shit, but you were surprised that Nina went along.
You never thought she would rebel, seeing as she seemed terrified to step a single webbed-toe out of line.
Not to mention, she had her little goody-two-shoes thing going on.
"Yeah, he's, uh, in there..." Phosphorus stood up straight, pointing his thumb toward the door.
But just as the captain was about to move forward, you stopped him, pressing your reddened palm into his chest plate.
"You don't wanna do that," you sighed, attempting to spare him from the sight of his princess in such a... compromising position.
"Maybe you should just give him thirty seconds," your skeletal partner agreed.
Alexi raised a brow, suspicious.
"I mean, you've seen the princess. I don't know how he could hold out for more than thirty seconds, do you?"
You rolled your eyes, crossing your arms over your chest as Weasel let out a soft squeak.
"Ah, you got a point, Weez," Phosphorus nodded, thoughtfully resting his hand on his chin. "He's an older guy... probably has a lot of experience. Give him a full minute."
"This is not funny. Why are you smiling?" Alexi ignored.
"Slow down, bigot," Phosphorus scoffed, pulling open his lab coat. "I'm a freaking skeleton. It looks like I'm smiling even when I'm not."
"You are not smiling?"
"Oh, I am... But you can't tell that."
Punctuating his sentence, the sounds of banging echoed from the door, followed by Rick and Ilana's moans
It went on for an uncomfortably long minute, but once it was over, Alexi let out a sigh.
"May I knock now?" he asked.
Phosphorus held up a finger, forcing him to wait as they started up again, only louder, the sounds making you want to smash your head into the wall.
'I was better off at Arkham...'
Tumblr media
After Flag cussed you both out for waiting to tell him that the Bride and Nina had escaped, Task Force M left to go rescue them from Circe and the Sons of Themyscira.
But after you arrived to find that neither of them had been horribly harmed, everyone quickly realized their real objective was to leave the princess without protection.
Which is why all of you hauled ass back to the castle, and why all of you were currently charging into the battle-filled courtyard with Alexi's super-powered, armored truck.
Zooming forward, he mowed down a Son that was about to toss a grenade at the royal guards, dismembering the bastard on impact before coming to a complete stop.
The Bride exited the vehicle guns blazing, as well as Flag and Alexi, shooting down five of the Sons right out the gate.
With a sigh, you cracked your neck, exhaling deeply out of your mouth.
"My body is mine... it belongs to me... Shall Mahalat come running... I will force her to flee," you muttered under your breath, repeatedly, as you kicked off your boots.
'Arkham shrinks... don't let me down.'
Out of the team of psychiatrists tasked with keeping you mentally sane, one offered a simple, catchy mantra to help you keep your "other personality" under control.
Whenever you thought Mahalat was going to show herself, or forcefully take over, you were supposed recite it, as the words would keep her at bay.
It worked well enough in your cell—but, then again, you were heavily medicated, anyway, so it was hard to say for certain.
Rushing forward, you dodged the oncoming barrage of bullets from the group of Sons in front of you, completing forward flips, handsprings, and round-offs to build momentum before launching yourself in the air.
There, you attacked, using your tail to slash the eyes of the man in front of you before kicking him into another, the force so powerful that it smashed their skulls together.
Landing on the ground, you turned quickly, shooting a small beam of fire from your finger tip and meeting the oncoming bullet heading for your shoulder, completely destroying it as well as burning a pea sized hole within the man's brain.
Using your speed, you got in close to the three grunts next to him, punching the first one in the face with a flaming fist as your tail twisted the neck of the second.
When the first one tired to shoot, you swirled around, using the second as human shield while you kicked the third in the nuts, forcing him to his knees and thus low enough where your legs could reach.
Using your feet, you grabbed his face and the back of his head before violently jerking, snapping his neck all the way around.
But before he could fall, you ran up his face like a wall, using it to flip yourself back around as your tail let go of the second man's neck.
Landing on the first one's shoulders, you ignited your hands in flame, slamming your fists down on his head with a sickening thud and caving in his skull.
Though, you had little time to celebrate, as the raining bullets from the castle began to increase, forcing you to leap away and duck behind the fountain with the others.
"Are these Nazis, General?" G.I asked from his place standing up, seeing as he was bullet-proof.
With a smirk, Flag turned to him, giving an affirmative nod.
"Yeah, G.I... these are Nazis."
Breaking out into a wide smile, the robot retracted his arms and replaced them with guns, opening fire on the Sons of Themyscira with a look of absolute glee.
Though, it came to a surprise for everyone when his torso suddenly detached, some sort of hover technology allowing him to float high into the air, where two additional guns were added to each arm.
"Hit the deck!" Flag exclaimed.
Quickly, G.I began to spin, his bullets utterly dismembering every Son of Themyscira in sight.
'Holy shit!'
He looked so happy, so utterly relieved to kill Nazis.
It was adorable, and even you were fighting off the smile rising to your lips.
That is... until Circe appeared, completely destroying him.
"G.I!" Nina screamed as he exploded right before her eyes, his parts raining down on the ground below.
"Well, that's enough of that," Circe scowled, looking down upon you all before shooting a large beam of destructive, purple magic.
Quickly, you all dove out the way, just barely avoiding the attack as chunks of the stone fountain shot into the air.
"Is that magic I smell, o' pitiful flesh?" a terrifyingly familiar voice grinned within your mind, turning your blood to ice in an instant.
'No... no, no, no, no, no! Not now! Not today!'
"My body is mine, it belongs to me. Shall Mahalat come running, I'll force her to flee," you muttered, frantically, screwing your eyes shut with fear as you pulled yourself into the fetal position, hugging your legs. "My body is mine, it belongs to me. Shall Mahalat come running, I'll force her to flee!"
"(y/n)! Snap out of it! What's wrong with you?!" Flag barked as he glanced over his shoulder, shooting at a couple of the straggling Sons as he noticed you were laying down in the middle of a battle.
"Is she having a mental breakdown in the middle of a fight?" the Bride asked, going back to back with the general.
"I was told she was cleared for the field!"
"Stupid girl. You know better than I such a weak incantation cannot keep me at bay..."
"Shut up!" you spat, sharply, as you clutched your head. "My body is mine! It belongs to me! Shall—!"
"Enough."
With a choking gasp, she silenced you, forcing your body to float into the air.
Like countless times before, your pupils shrank to the thin slits of a snake, the others watching with awe and confusion as your limbs fell limply to your sides.
"Sunuk zetam ma'ak kula baa nat su da Mahalat!"
Your voice seemed to dubbed over by another, more malevolent one, and after the words were spoken, you burst into hellish flame.
Within this flame, large, red, pointed wings sprouted from your back, your horns growing larger, fangs extending, claws growing, and clothes tearing, leaving you in the tattered remnants of your leather pants and top.
Though, when you turned to Rick Flag, you were no longer you.
But rather the thing that's been haunting you since you since you first opened your eyes in this world.
Mahalat.
"Where has the witch gone?" Mahalat asked, her voice dubbed over yours.
Utterly speechless, both Flag and the Bride pointed toward the castle, where Circe had flown to attack Ilana.
With a bone chilling grin, the demon turned around, her large, strong wings propelling her quickly as she zoomed toward the princess's broken, bedroom window.
Free for the first time in years, Mahalat had only one thing on her mind.
Kill. Kill. Kill.
When she reached the two, Circe had her magical orbs drawn, ready to destroy an already beaten up Ilana.
In an instant, Mahalat flew forward, grabbing Circe by the neck with a sharp, burning hand.
She fought back with a scream, hands frantically clawing at the demon's arm as her throat began to cook.
"I wonder..." Mahalat smirked, her sharp nails drawing blood with her harsh grip. "Is the flesh of a witch as delicious as I remember?"
With a sick grin, she lifted the woman higher, allowing a few droplets of her blood to drip onto her face.
"It's been a millennium since I've had one in my clutches..."
With a malicious chuckle, the demon sank her fangs into Circe's shoulder, the sorceress letting out a blood-curdling scream as the meat was torn from her bones.
Muscle, tendons, and all.
Taking a moment to enjoy her new snack, Mahalat threw Circe out the window with impossible force, leaving her to fall onto the concrete below.
Out the corner of her eye, she glanced at the princess, who looked absolutely horrified, before flying after her dinner.
As Circe attempted to scramble away, Mahalat landed harshly on her back, the sharp claws of the demon's feet digging into the witch's flesh and keeping her in place as she was absolutely mauled.
Any available skin was up for the taking, Mahalat's claws and fangs destroying anything they could reach with a delighted grin.
And as she went to town on Circe's back, Phosphorus approached, lifting Circe's chin with—what everyone could tell—a sick grin
"I always love a good barbecue."
Pressing an irradiated hand into her face, she let out another bone-chilling scream, unable to do anything but sit there as her face was cooked alive and her back was torn to shreds.
From the distance, Flag watched, wide-eyed and thoroughly disturbed as the two before him tortured the sorceress, the realization donning on him pretty quickly that the both of you had gone incredibly easy during your fight in the kitchen.
"You wanted monsters... you got monsters," the Bride smirked, standing knowingly by his side.
"Kunus matez ka'am aluk baa nat su da (y/n)!" your voice finally managed to break through, stopping the demon in her tracks.
Pupils dilating, you snapped out of it in an instant—your wings slowly returning into your back, your horns shrinking, fangs receding, and claws disappearing—while still leaving you in your torn up clothes.
Quickly, you threw yourself off the witch, chest rising and falling rapidly as you snapped your head around, frantically touching yourself to gauge if it was really you, while also covering your practically bare chest.
That was the first time she'd taken over in over three years.
You hoped it would never happen again.
'What did I do?! Who did I kill?! Oh, God, I can taste blood?! Who did I eat?! Why did I—?!'
"Hey," Phosphorus's voice broke through your spiral.
Out of instinct, you flinched, but when you looked up at him, you realized he was holding out his lab coat.
Your eyes widened slightly, surprised by his kindness, and you couldn't help but stare at him with suspicion.
What was the gag?
Where was the joke?
Why was he being so... chivalrous?
"Unless you wanna walk around with your tits out," he shrugged, standing up straight with a grin. "I mean, I'm not complaining—"
Quickly, you took it from his hand, throwing it over your shoulders and crossing it over your chest, avoiding all eye contact.
You weren't sure how or why... but he was doing you a solid, so you wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
"Thanks," you muttered, standing up.
"You don't understand what you've done!" Circe awoke from her pain induced fainting with a gasp, glaring up at you all as Weasel, Bride, and Flag reconvened.
Your eyes widened even further at her injuries, a little sorry.
It was nowhere near the worst you'd done to someone... but still.
Attempting to gather her breath, she turned her sights on Flag, brows furrowing harshly.
"You've doomed the world!"

Hello! I hope you're doing well 🩵 I was thinking that, if you like the idea and have the time, you could write about Dean and Sam having a little sister (or little cousin/relative), and attending her ballet recital, something like this scene happening, which with Dean and Sam's reactions would be even better, Dean would be proud, of that I'm sure! 😂 of course it's up to you babe! https://youtu.be/ar0I1HjAcfk?si=JDITYGCFe0zqoUxR
𓂃 ࣪🩰˖ ִֶָ ೀ litte sister,
Tumblr media
summary. no one messes with your little sister. the winchesters will make sure of it .ᐟ
pairing. dean + sam winchester x your little sister ; big brothers dynamic
wordcount. 483
notes. i just know they would be so protective, makes my heart melt
Tumblr media
The moment the Impala pulls into the parking lot, Dean's already shifting in his seat, eyes sharp as he scans the ballet studio's windows. His jaw clenches, hands gripping the wheel so tight his knuckles turn white. Sam, on the other hand, is quiet, watching his brother with concern. This has been a problem for weeks.
"Think she's okay?" Sam asks softly, the worry in his voice barely concealed.
Dean doesn't respond at first, his gaze fixed on teh door where your little sister just stepped out, her face crumpled in a mixture of frustration and hurt.
He doesn't wait for you to open the door. He's already out of the car, practically storming toward the building. Sam follows, having difficulty keeping up with his older brother's determined stride.
You can hear the sharpness of Dean's voice even before you reach the door. "I swear, if those little brats did anything to her..." His words trail off, but the anger is evident in his voice.
Inside, the room is quiet, except for the faint tapping of ballet shoes on the wooden floor. The other girls stop mid-giggle when they see Dean ad Sam, both towering over them with their protective stances. The tension in the room is palpable as the girls look between each other, unsure of how to react. For a second, even you are preoccupied.
Dean takes a step forward, voice firm. "You've got a problem with my sister? I dare you to mess with her again, you little rascals."
Sam steps in, placing a hand on Dean's shoulder. "Dean, let's just get her and go."
Dean huffs, but his body relaxes slightly. His gaze flickers to you and your sister, who's standing near the door, eyes downcast, obviously trying to hold back tears, your hands on her shoulders for comfort. He clenches his fists, but doesn't move to confront the girls.
Sam gently guides your sister toward the door, speaking softly, his calm demeanour contrasting Dean's simmering anger. "Don't listen to them, okay? They don't know what they're talking about."
Dean watches as she heads toward the door, his chest still tight with frustration as he gives one last glance to the girls. Once inside the car, he speaks again, his eyes meeting your little sister's through the rearview mirror. “Next time they mess with you, you tell ‘em you’ve got two big brothers who won’t let it slide.”
Your sister's lips curl into a small smile at his words. “I will,” she says, the flicker of confidence creeping back into her voice.
Dean’s scowl softens when he hears her, though his eyes remain fixed ahead, still fuming. “That’s my girl.”
Sam leans back, running a hand through his hair as the car pulls away. “She’s tough, Dean. She’ll handle it.”
Dean doesn’t respond immediately, but you can see his pride shining through. "She better. No one hurts my family."

HALLEY'S COMET- one.
Tumblr media
{WARNINGS}: swearing, arguing, jealousy, weed, brief mention of sex, reader gets caught with a vape at the airport 💔
w.c- 2,144
a.n- this is my first fic ever! and ofc with noah, who else? let me know how you like it! feedback is always welcome <3
if you would like to be added to the taglist, please comment.
Tumblr media
"come on dude, hurry up before we miss the flight." nicholas' voice rang throughout my apartment. i groaned, zipping up my suitcase and running downstairs.
i started as the photographer for bad omens back in 2015 when they formed. i'd been friends with nicholas since we were kids, and he put in a little word to their singer about how he had a friend who studied photography and could help them out. so then i was hired.
little did i know, i would grow to loathe their lead singer, noah sebastian. he was a thorn in my side, always nagging and arguing over things where half the time, he wasn't even right.
nicholas and i got in the uber, heading to the airport. we were leaving for yet another tour. which meant yet another unbearable year with noah. we were meeting them there, and i was a little less than thrilled.
"penny for your thoughts?" nicholas said, noticing how i was zoning out.
"just thinking about how unbearable noah is. i am not happy about this." i sighed.
nicholas laughed softly, shaking his head. "you ever think that maybe that 'hate' is something else?" i looked at him, confused. "like what?" i asked.
"oh, i dunno, love? lust? whatever you wanna call it."
i looked at him like he just told me he killed my family. what a crazy thought. me? in love with noah? absolutely not. hell no.
"i would rather swallow shards of glass than date that motherfucker." i said, nicholas laughing at my words.
Tumblr media
we soon arrived at the airport, meeting up with the others at the entrance. i made it my mission to avoid noah, which soon proved to be unsuccessful.
"nice shoes." he said sarcastically, walking next to me in front of the other three.
i rolled my eyes. "what's wrong with my shoes?" i asked, looking down at my dirty and worn converses.
noah rolled his eyes back. "you look like you haven't bought a new pair of shoes in years. i know damn well we pay you enough, you can afford them."
"yeah, i can afford them. but i don't want them." i said. "i'm perfectly fine with these. they're in good shape, just a little dirty."
"a little is putting it lightly." he said. "you look like you've gone through multiple wars in those things. buy some new damn shoes, please."
i ignored his words, putting all my things in a little tub as we began to go through security. when i went through the detector, they flagged me down and pulled me to the side, making me furrow my brows. i didn't think i had anything. i put everything in the bin. except... fuck.
i groaned as they pulled the vape out of my pocket, the others in front of me trying not to laugh at the situation as they gathered theirs and my items.
"we're gonna have to confiscate this, miss." the guard said, and i nodded. they gave me one last pat down before letting me go.
"nice job, idiot." noah said as i slung my backpack over my shoulder.
"do you have to make a jab at every mistake i make?" i snapped back. "no, but it's funny."
i huffed, starting to walk to our terminal, not in the mood for any more teasing or jokes.
Tumblr media
"oh, come the fuck on." i groaned as noah sat beside me on the plane. "you had to have done this on purpose."
"sorry, princess. happened by chance." he said, starting to get comfortable.
i placed my head in my hands, mentally cursing everyone and everything for this happening to me before facing him again.
"i'm saying this now, and i better not have to repeat myself. i'd like to have a nice, calm, and quiet flight. if you bother me, i swear to god i will punch you. got it?"
noah snickered and gave a mock salute. "yes ma'am."
i sighed, putting on my headphones to block out the noises of the other people around me and closed my eyes.
a couple hours later, there was a tap on my shoulder. i sighed deeply before taking off my headphones and facing the culprit. noah, of course. "what?"
"do you have snacks? i'm hungry."
"no, idiot. why would i have snacks on an airplane? ask the flight attendant."
"i don't want to do that." he said.
"then starve or something, i don't care." i replied, moving to put my headphones back on.
"but y/nnnn!" he whined, shaking my shoulder like a toddler. he was doing this on purpose to piss me off.
"don't touch me with your gross hands" i said, pushing him away.
"then get me snacks."
"get them your damn self." i shot back.
noah rolled his eyes. "can't you do something for somebody else for once? you're so damn selfish."
"you're calling me selfish because i won't get you a snack? do you hear yourself right now? you sound like a child." i said.
"whatever, will you please call the flight attendant for me? the button is on your side."
"no, do it yourself." i said stubbornly.
"come on, you can't press a button? i don't want to lean on you to press it." he said.
i rolled my eyes, pressing the button. "there, happy?"
he rolled his eyes back, the flight attendant approaching him. of course, he had to flirt with her when she came up. when did he never flirt with people? she wasn't even that pretty, why was he doing that? surely he could do better. i mean, i'm better.
woah, what? i can't be thinking that. i hate him. hate him more than anything. i'm not jealous.
i kept repeating that to myself over and over again, trying to convince myself that the words were true.
i'm not jealous. i'm not jealous. i'm not. it's fine, it's whatever.
but as the attendant left, i found myself speaking again.
"seriously?" i asked.
"what?" he replied, feigning innocence.
"do you have to flirt with every girl you see? she's not even that pretty."
"aww, is someone jealous?" he teased.
i rolled my eyes, grimacing. "you wish. i would rather swallow glass than be with you." i said, repeating the words i had spoken to nicholas just hours prior.
"the feeling's mutual, princess." he said, giving me a wink.
Tumblr media
by the time we made it to our hotel, i was exhausted, frustrated, and hungry. throughout the entire flight, noah would not stop bothering me. asking stupid questions, flirting with girls, jabbing and poking me and other things of the sort.
i went to my hotel room, which i would be sharing with nicholas, doordashing some food and laying on my bed.
"how was the flight?" he asked.
"how do you think?" i replied. "i swear, when i find out who booked the tickets, they're getting an earful."
nicholas bit his lip, trying to hide his laugh, but not doing very well. i looked at him with furrowed brows before it dawned on me.
"you bitch! why would you do that to me?!" i yelled, throwing a pillow at him.
"because the tension is unbearable! you guys need to resolve your issues and fuck already." he said, catching the pillow in his tattooed hands.
i grimaced at the simple thought of doing anything with him. "gross. never. it's not happening." i said.
"you say that now." he said. "how about we make a bet?"
i raised my eyebrow, motioning for him to go on.
"if anything, and i mean anything happens with you and noah, i get $100. kissing, cuddling, sex, whatever."
i shrugged. should be simple enough, right?
"alright. what's in it for me?" i asked.
"if nothing happens throughout the whole tour, then i'll do whatever you want."
"oh, you're gonna regret saying that." i laughed. "be prepared to lose."
he smirked, holding out his hand for me to shake. i shook his hand, and then there was a knock on the door. that must be our food.
i got up, going to open the door and accepting the food from the worker before closing the door and setting it on the bed, giving nicholas his items and sitting down cris-crossed on my bed.
"so, where's the first show?" i asked.
"about an hour or so from here." he said, and i nodded. we were in Ohio right now, so it was probably in Columbus or some place close.
"sold out?" i asked as i took a bite of my food.
"almost." he replied. "if it's not sold out by tomorrow, i'll be surprised. tickets are selling fast as fuck."
"that's good." i said. "you guys have progressed a lot in ten years. that's really fucking good."
nicholas smiled softly. "yeah, i'm just glad we made it this far. when we first got together, we all just thought it would be a fun little pass time and play a couple shows and make a little extra money. never thought it would be this big."
i nodded. "i'm proud of you guys, though. it takes a lot of talent to make it this far."
the two of us talked about random things as we ate our food and watched whatever we could find on the shitty hotel TV.
when we finally went to sleep, i closed my eyes and forced away the thoughts that maybe, just maybe, nicholas could be right.
Tumblr media
the next morning, nicholas' 6 am alarm woke the both of us up. we had to be up early the travel the hour to the next city, and it took multiple hours to set up the stage and instruments for the show. i woke up, doing my usual morning routine and pushing away the thoughts of noah that suddenly wanted to flood through my mind. i grabbed my suitcase and nicholas and i walked out to the elevator, heading to the tour bus when we got to the lobby.
the tour bus wasn't the fanciest thing in the world, but it was still pretty damn nice. and of course, being in a bus full of boys who also happened to be stoners, the familiar scent of weed flooded my senses when i walked onto the bus. i put my suitcase on my bunk (which of course just so happened to be below noah's for some god forsaken reason), before sitting down on one of the couches in the back area in front of nick and jolly, and beside noah.
even though i hated him, i always ended up gravitating towards him in any situation. when i was scared or upset, i'd be next to him. we had an odd relationship for two people who claimed they hated each other's guts. on multiple occasions, we had been caught cuddling in our bunks or on the couch. we had these brief moments where every other feeling faded away, leaving just the two of us to do whatever we wanted. we were never sexually active with each other, but there would be an occasional make out session or peck on the lips while we were cuddling. if i was in trouble, i would immediately go to noah or nicholas. they were like my safe places. somewhere i could go to hide away from the world. and just as soon as it began, it ended. we would immediately go back to fighting and hating each other within the next hour. it was a rollercoaster, but it's what we had gotten used to over the years.
nick passed the joint to me and i took a couple hits before passing it to noah, who unusually declined. "woah, you good man?" jolly asked.
noah hummed. "yeah, just thinking. not really in the mood." he said, leaned back against the couch with his hands laced together in his lap. he looked focused, like he was thinking really hard about something. i'd make sure to ask him about it later.
soon, we arrived at the arena. it was empty, save for a few stage workers and other people wandering around. i unpacked my camera backstage, turning it on and checking all the settings as i walked backstage and towards my area in the front of the barriers, humming to myself. i wasn't paying much attention until i collided with something, falling backwards with some sort of liquid all over me and my camera on the ground.
i cursed, not paying any mind to the person who bumped into me and grabbing my camera. it was covered in coffee and the lens was broken. completely unusable. it was completely fried and wouldn't even turn on. "fuck!" i yelled, running my hands through my hair. no camera meant no pictures. no pictures meant a very, very pissed off noah.
"what the hell happened?" a voice spoke, snatching away my attention.

Thoughts about Arcane Season2 and "bad writing" (Ramblings)
When you sit down and just think about it for a moment without people screaming in your ear
a lot of writing choices in Arcane make sense and works
Because they don't follow traditional tropes
they follow Real Life
Sometimes in life you dont talk to someone when you should Sometimes in life you dont make right decisions, or make right decisions people will think are wrong Sometimes in life bad people get away with things that you believe they shouldn't Sometimes in life people DIE in war you never expect Sometimes in life you dont NEED words to apologize, you need ACTIONS, especially in a world where words can be twisted and untrustworthy and not worth the dirt on your shoes.
I love Arcane SO MUCH because it does what no show really does anymore. It doesnt follow trope, it doesn't follow immediate reconciliation, or conversation or WHATEVER. It just lets these characters LIVE (and die) just like how the world turns.
No one is out of character because a person CAN NEVER BE out of character. You are never the same person day in and day out, your life REFUSES to allow you to do that because if it did you would NEVER adapt to change.
Its how you adapt to that change that is important Take Cait and how she is in Season 2 for an example
I don’t think it’s bad writing Not entirely One of the reasons I like Arcane is cause NO ONE is truly good or bad
(Cept maybe the few like Loris, Ekko)
Everyone is just morally grey, believing their doing right, but going about it in ways that aren’t
When they do right, they do right
When they do wrong you know it, but in the end I love that cause no creature, let alone people are ever one dimensional
But the ISSUES I’m having with the Caitvi side of the fandom is their ERASING what makes them good characters which is that MORAL dilemma side. So often you see people try to brush their issues under the rug, or water them down
AND THATS NOT WHAT ARCANE IS ABOUT it never was
Cait was Cassandra’s daughter The one person whose been there for her
Her death was basically what Silco said
It was the undoing of her daughter DO I like Cait
Yes I do She’s the perfect blend of morally delayed character that I love. But I don’t like what the fandom is DOING to her
Cait didn’t even honor her mother correctly when she went about her revenge
It doesn’t MATTER if she gassed just the chembarons and left the civilians alone It doesn’t MATTER if she thought she was doing right
Because she did something that Piltover ACTIVELY PROMISED THEY WOULD NEVER DO
She USED the gas, she used GREY
Piltover may have been absolute SHIT to Zaun But they at least KNEW that even the gas was too much Knew that if they used it they would hurt more then just the people they were aiming for
GAS doesn’t discriminate
It’s why even in the deadliest of war’s only the most vicious or determined to win EVER reverted to chemical warfare
Cait did it on a whim
But in the same breathe YOU cant only blame her
Blame Ambessa too She took a vulnerable person. Knew how to twist the tragedy she went through and turn it into something with her advantage
But people also seem to forget that Cait STILL had a moral code and she was learning from her mistakes
She CLOSED and forbade the use of the cells that Vi was subject to during her prison time
She called out Ambessa for instigating fights
SHE WAS FIGHTING WITH AMBESSA, turning her back on her when things got to terrible It wasn’t just
oh vi stared at her once and called her a petname
NO she was actively LOOKING for a way out from under Ambessa
and she found it
And it’s because of that I have to agree media literacy is at a all time low
Because if you ACTIVELY WATCH THE SHOW you realize things are not as face value cut-dry as they looked
S1 Cait NEVER left
S1 Cait is still present in S2 Cait
But the issue is we are seeing a side of Cait that is loosing her way and aligning herself with people who MAY act like their doing her right but aren’t and now she’s stuck in this loop of hell after hell after hell
Until the ONE greatest thing in her life, something that’s been constant in its support and love but not afraid to fight back with her when she thinks she’s wrong
came back
Vi came back during a time where Cait was once again lost in not knowing how to fix what she did wrong because now she was turning on Ambessa and had no one at her side
Vi literally just said cupcake and cait’s eyes widened to the point SHE ACTIVELY CRIES shortly after Vi called her that. Her eyes legit water if you look closely at her turn her head away.
And the best part is is Vi didnt just jump back into being steady with Cait
She didn’t trust her
until Caitlyn showed her she could be

"Broken", Not Stupid - 12
Pairing: alpha!Simon "Ghost" Riley x unusual omega!OC (13)
CW: Omegaverse; cult-like situation; dehumanization; selling children to a cult
Author's Note: @jeanzoriley-cod ready? owo <3
Tumblr media
"Think maybe we should see about introducing her to Jeanz?"
13 is bolting from clothing rack to clothing rack in the next shop, gathering things to try on. Meanwhile, Simon and Johnny are keeping a close and protective eye while giving her space to do her shopping.
Simon's question, however, pulls Johnny's attention from 13.
"I think it'd be good for her to have other, female friends," Johnny nods, but the look in his eye says he's far more excited about the idea than he's letting on.
"You also just want to see Jeanz again," Simon teases him.
"Who's Jeanz?" 13 asks, having popped up between the two alphas with her arms full of clothing options. "Can you help me get these to the fitting rooms? I haven't gotten new clothes in a while so I wanna try things on before I decide on them."
Simon and Johnny each take an arm-full of the clothes 13 is carrying and follow her to the fitting rooms.
"Jeanz is a co-worker-"
"And friend," Johnny adds. "She helps out our team once in a while."
"And Johnny's sweet on her," Simon chuckles. "She's an omega, though, and I figured you may need friends. Espeically friends that aren't just alphas."
"I am not!" Johnny denies Simon's claim imeediately, his accent getting thicker in his denial.
13 stops outside a fitting room and looks up at Johnny.
"You're blushing," she points out, making the redness in Johnny's cheeks darken.
The Scotsman chooses not to respond this time, instead he gives the clothes back to 13. She grins as she accepts the clothes then disappears into the fitting room with the first load of clothing. By time she's finished trying on all of the clothes she picked out, she's managed to wittle the piles down to enough outfits for a full week that can be mixed and matched as needed.
"So Jeanz?" 13 prods Simon as Johnny leads them to the next shop.
"She's... a lot like you, actually. Even as an omega, she doesn't bend easily. You give her hell, she'll give it back easily. I think you two would get along great, based on what I know of you both. There's a lot of male alphas in my circle and, since you're going to be around, I'll need to expand that circle a bit."
13 scowls a bit but it's quickly replaced with a smile.
"I appreciate it. I haven't had... long term friendships in a while so it'll be nice to try to make those connections again."
"I also need to talk to you about," Simon takes a deep breath, "therpay. Your views on it and so on. I think going would benefit you greatly, but I won't force you into it."
"I've honeslty never been," 13 shrugs. "It... scares be a bit, the idea of going, but I'm willing to try. Seems I'll have a decent support system, though."
The way she looks up at Simon this time nearly makes him come to a full stop. His heart might have done so, though. A warm feeling fills Simon's chest, almost making it ache, but he brushes off the feeling and continues following Johnny with 13.
Simon glances down to 13's feet. She's wearing the slippers from Salvation still.
The woman needs shoes. She needs them badly.
"Johnny," Simon calls to him, "this one next," he announces as he nods towards the shoe store across the street. Then he looks down to 13, offering her an arm. "Stay cloe, yeah? Don't need you getting hit trying to cross the street."
13 shifts what few shopping bags the guys allowed her to carry to one arm and loops her now-free arm through Simon's.
"I'd prefer life, yeah," she chuckles.

if you can do a drabble or something pretty please, i need a vulnerable leon. like i mean he comes home from a mission or something and he tries to hold it in and tell you everything is fine but he just bawls his eyes out and you pamper him and take care of him and tell him it’s gonna be okay and he opens up to you and stuff
-🪑
Hi 🪑!
I hope you are doing well!!! Sorry it took me a few days!!
Warnings: Slight angst, Fluff, Comfort, Leon deserves all the hugs
RE4R!Leon Kennedy x GN!Reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sometimes everything becomes too much for him, it didn't help that the rain soaked through his coat, his shoes and trousers. The mission wasn't the best either, coming back to the office spending hours being tested on for plagas, interrogating about every little detail he had to live through. They didn't understand what it was like, to live a nightmare and relive it again and again until every little detail was covered and put into a report no one would touch.
You barely heard the knock on the door the rain pelting your windows was too loud. Leon was still busy with work and said he wouldn't be able to see you for a few more days so you weren't expecting anyone. You feet thudded softly as you made your way to the door, fumbling nervously with the locks as you tried to open them. You expected to be met with someone trying to sell you something or a lost delivery boy not your soaking wet boyfriend shivering. "Oh Leon" you whispered as you ushered him inside a small puddle already forming on the floor where he stood.
He shrugged off his coat trying not to get water everywhere but the damn thing was stuck to his skin. You heard his frustrated groan as he tried to pry himself away from the fabric. Your hand was warm when it touched his face moving his head to look at you. "Hey hey stop...it's alright, let me help"
You were always so gentle, he loved that about you. Your touch was soft as you pulled the fabric, the wet sounds as it separated from him made you both cringe. He sighed once free from the offending item of clothing, a soft smile appearing on his features as you dragged him through the apartment. "Your floors are going to get wet" he mumbled, looking behind him at the trail of small puddles he was leaving. "I don't care, you'll get sick if you stay in these any longer" you spoke softly. "You will care when you slip on one of the puddles later"
"not when I have you to catch me"
He smiled at that, he was used to being depended on by everyone else but with you it felt different. It felt safer and more domestic. Maybe it's because instead of protecting your life from zombies or infected villagers - he was helping you reach a cup from the top shelf or doing the dishes after you cooked. Small things that helped him feel human.
The shower stream cleared his nose, the warm pellets of water made him jump as they touched his freezing skin. He watched as you put his wet clothes in the laundry basket, his eyes widened in surprise as yours soon joined his. You reached behind him grabbing your shampoo, fingers twirling in a signal for him to turn around. Your fingers worked wonders against his scalp, his eyes closing relishing in the way you worked through the strands. A soft hum left your lips as worked it was like you were scraping his brain free from any lingering horrors.
It wasn't until he spun back around to hold his head under the shower stream you realized he was crying, the tremble in his shoulders now noticeable. "Leon?"
You didn't know what he was on about, he had never told you the specifics of the mission but judging from the recent news channel celebrating the return of the daughter's president you could two together. "But you didn't fail, you bought her back"
Your voice was angelic, he didn't fail to notice the concern and love that laced just two simple words. His knees hit the shower floor with a thud burying his head in his hands. You watched his shoulders shake, the small scraps and bruises now prominent his skin was red from being so cold. All evidence of what he went through.
You knelt down in front of him, gently pulling his hands away from his face. Your heart cracked when you met his eyes, bloodshot and tired after a long night of trying to survive. Leon's head fell on your shoulder, holding you close. He enjoyed the skin to skin, it made him feel real. Made you feel real. "I thought I was going to fail...I was so close to losing her so many times"
Leon nodded, a soft smile on his features as he looked down at you. "I love you" he whispered. It was your turn to smile, ignoring the way the water had now gone cold. Leon's body shielded you from most of the cold water, the same way he shielded you from most of the horrors of the world. "I love you more. I'm proud of you. Always"
