âThose sluts couldnât compare to you, and they still canât. Besides I donât care if youâre not my, ___, controlling you makes me better.â
Someone meaningless, insignificant, is what he needed.
Someone to control and make him feel alive.
And who better than his naive, loser, of a childhood friend, who didnât know any better?
On his plot to takeover the world, you had refused him, punched and kicked, and pissed him off until he snapped. And man did he regret it in the end. He sulked for days, trying to find a replacement.
Never did tho, until he was offered that deal.
He put two and two together, realizing, another dimension means another you.
Which also means heâll do it right this time. He wonât play the long game like he did last time. No, this time he will take what he wants, when he wants it.
It didnât take him much time to find your apartment, realizing how dumb this mark was for not taking you sooner. Who could pass up on such a cute and stupid brat like yourself?
Obviously you were a bit different in this world, different styles and room decor than the last one but hey, if you still got the body and attitude he doesnât gaf.
He wanted to surprise you, make you feel a bit uneasy. So he waited until your back was turned to tap on windows or even sneak in to move some items.
Which gave him a laugh when you would stop and pause trying to give everything a reasonable explanation. How dumb.
Night came fast, and he watched as you crawled into bed.
Being as quiet as possible he admired you. Running gentle fingers up the length of your body. Starting at your hips going to your shoulder. A finger curling around some loose strands, sniffing it a bit. Oh what joy, you even still smell the same.
His hard on can wait he thought, he wanted to taste you first. Get accustomed with your body again, then if youâre good maybe even you.
peeling back the blankets, he dragged his hands up your legs and to your thighs pulling them apart to find some cute underwear, to bad heâs going to rip them apart.
Tossing the shredded clothing somewhere across the room he licked a fat strip up your clit, feeling your hips twitch underneath him felt like heaven. He continued his ministrations on you, pausing every time he thought youâd wake up.
You were prepared enough he thought, now itâs time to wake up.
He dropped your legs for a minute, quickly undressing and leaving his suit discarded with your torn underwear before picking back up where he left off.
Dick hard and painful he didnât waste time plunging into you without mercy. Not like he believed you deserved it. Especially with how you acted before. Itâs like your punishment for not coming with him.
The painful stretch woke you up with a shout. Startled and confused, you looked up to see your best friend, or what looked like him? His hair and devious smile threw you off. âMark?!â You moaned, feeling his cock relentlessly fucking into you.
Mark just laughed at your reaction, âthatâs me, baby! The one and only, not to mention your new boyfriend.â
Before you could question him, his hand went to your throat, his gaze turning mean and annoying, but his movements didnât stop, âyou know, you were a total bitch to me before. You wouldnât just do what I say? Accidentally killed you because of that.â
His grunts becoming louder as his pace sped up. Lewd sounds of your cunt filled the room, and it made your cheeks heat up with embarrassment and fear. He killed you?! What have you gotten yourself into..
âListen sweet cheeks, Iâve been needing someone as meaningless as you to justify my existence. So I gotta thank you.â He said pushing your knees to your chest, hitting that one spot that has you seeing stars.
âNobody feels like you do, you just give me that feeling! One glance at you and Iâm so hard. Itâs almost painful. Good thing youâll take care of it from now on. Right?â His hand slapped your face a bit, trying to bring you back to the moment. Seeing your blissed out face got his blood rushing straight to his dick. You nodded a bit. Trying to respond to him was a bit difficult, with your moans becoming louder and more frequent.
He wanted more, needed more. Mark needed to feel his cum dripping out of your sweet cunt. He was already enjoying the feeling of it fluttering around him and squeezing him so tightly every time he hit your cervix. It was amazing to him.
And you had to admit this was the best sex you had in a long time. You felt wanted, maybe even used, but it was so good, so delicious and wrong. You felt that coil in your stomach tighten.
âMark! Mâgonna- gonna cum!â You moaned, head falling back into the pillows, hips jolting with every thrust.
âGo ahead, baby. Think you earned it for taking me so good.â He laughed, feeling your cunt spasming around him sent shivers down his spine as he unloaded his cum into you.
Yet he continued fucking you through your orgasams and into overstimulation. Which only made him shake his head as heard pleas falling from your pouty lips.
âPlease-! Slow down, canât, mphmf- take it! Dont even know you..â you whined as he switched positions easily. Manhandling you like it was nothing. Dick pistoning back in you with your ass against his hips, and a hand pushing your head into the pillows.
âI. donât. think so, babe. Youâre gonna have to take it. Those sluts couldnât compare to you, and they still canât. Besides I donât care if youâre not my, ___, controlling you makes me better. So, I say when weâre done.â He grunted, punctuating some of his words with his thrusts.
Before you could even comprehend his words he leaned down and whispered, âFucking you will make me stronger.â
â ŕžŕ˝˛â Í â ŕžŕ˝˛â Í â ŕžŕ˝˛â Í â ŕžŕ˝˛â Í â ŕžŕ˝˛â Í â ŕžŕ˝˛â
Guys Iâve donât write smut well so this mightâve sucked! Anyways thanks for making it this far! Bye!!

New Year's Consequences



Summary: Your best friend, Jeongin, got very drunk and left a rambling voice note confessing to certain feelings he has for you. While listening to the message several times over, you hurry to his and Chanâs apartment.
Cw/tw: drunk confession, unprotected piv, face-sitting, face-fucking, cum swallowing, a little dom!IN, pussy slapping, pet names (baby, sweet girl), aftercare fluff
Wc: 6k
This fic is part of a series of unconnected best friends to lovers fics, the others of which can be found on my master list.
You groaned, rolling over as you woke up. It was Saturday morning and you didnât want to be awake yet. Reaching for your phone to check the time, you saw you had a voice note from your best friend Jeongin.
ââMember tha uh⌠party. With thâ tree and thâ counâing and thâ lights? âMember you kissed me? Love thaâ kiss. Can stop thinkinâ âbout it. Wish it woulda been longer. Wish you stay thâ nighâ with me. Wish you stay ALL thâ nighâs with me. You smell good, liâe all thâ time. How come? Bedâs empty, thaâs sad. Y/nnie!! Oh hi, Channie-hyung. Leavinâ message for Y/nnie. Whaâ you mean? Nu-uh. Love Y/nnie, gotta tell âer. Only a lil drunk, âs o ââ
The message abruptly cut off. You stared at your phone and the time stamp that message was sent to you â 3:17 am. Then you hit play and listened to it again. Maybe it was silly to be giddy over a drunk confession but you were, squealing and kicking your feet. After all, drunk actions were sober thoughts, or whatever the saying was.
You tossed your blanket off, rushing to get dressed. You hesitated in front of your closet for a moment, it was cold, but you wanted to look cute. Besides, you were only going to be outside for a couple minutes at most. You pulled on a knee-length skirt Jeongin had bought for you a couple of years previously, pairing it with the new cable knit sweater youâd gotten yourself. While you dressed and did you hair, you played Jeonginâs voice note over and over.
In you car, your phone automatically hooked into the Bluetooth, like always, so you were hearing his voice note through much better speakers. You remembered the New Yearâs party he was talking about. It had been a New Yearâs kiss, as soon as the clock struck midnight. You hadnât been able to stop thinking about it either. How soft his lips were, the way heâd gently cradled your head in one hand, the other pressing against your lower back, how it was over far too soon for your liking.
You reached Chan and Jeonginâs apartment in record time. You hurried to the main door, only regretting the skirt for a moment when the wind blew. You paced anxious circles in the elevator. Now that you were here, you wondered if maybe you should have waited until later in the day or just called him. It was too late to turn back now though, you were here and you were going to see this through.
Chan answered the door when you knocked, took one look at your face and as soon as the door was closed behind you, said, âYou listened to it.â
âI did,â you beamed at him.
âGood,â Chan smiled at you. âHeâs not awake yet. Donât do anything dumb. Iâll be out for the day,â he pressed a soft kiss to the side of your head, just above your ear, as he passed by.
Hearing that he wasnât awake yet, and knowing how drunk heâd likely been the night before and therefore how hungover he was likely to be this morning, you made your way to their kitchen. You made a few slices of peanut butter toast, knowing it was one of the options he would eat even if it got cold, and grabbed a coconut water. Then made yourself a quick smoothie since you hadnât had breakfast before you ran out of your apartment.
Once in his room, you just watched him sleep for a few minutes. You sighed quietly â your best friend was gorgeous, there was no denying it. Even passed out, he looked adorable. You set the food on his night stand and climbed onto his bed, settling in to wait until he woke up. You were quietly scrolling your Tiktok feed, enjoying the thirst edits of the sleeping man beside you, when you felt Jeongin start to stir.
You looked over at him as he blearily blinked his eyes open. âY/nnie?â His sleep-deepened voice rasped out. âWhatâreâŚ?â
âHere, drink this.â
âNo drinks,â he protested quietly.
âItâs coconut water. Drink, then I made toast.â He did as you instructed, slowly.
âEugh, I reek,â he commented after downing the last of the water.
âYou smell like whiskey,â you agreed easily.
âEugh.â After another moment, he rolled out of bed and headed to the bathroom. After several minutes, you heard the shower turn on and settled back into his bed with your phone.
Quite a while later, Jeongin, hair messy and damp and clad only in a pair of loose pants, bounced onto his bed beside you. âNow that I feel human again, whatâs the early morning occasion, bestie?â
âIâve always hated how easily you get over a hangover,â you commented, turning to smile at him. âHow drunk were you last night? Like, do you remember everything?â
âOh God, I did something embarrassing didnât I? Is that why youâre here? The boys called you ��cause the Maknae was embarrassing himself?â
âNo,â you laughed, interrupting him. It was a fair assumption though â the other members had called you for exactly that reason more than a few times. âYou called me. Or rather, you left me a voice note. Here, listen.â With a couple quick taps, you played the voice note youâd already listened to so many times this morning.
You expected some worry, some nerves at how youâd react. What you did not expect was for Jeongin to try to get out of bed and run from you. Thankfully, you were able to keep him in place. Despite being significantly stronger than you, he never wanted to accidentally hurt anyone so he held back and let you push him around.
You tossed a leg over his waist, settling yourself comfortably on his abs. Then you realized your mistake. The only thing separating his drool-worthy abs from your pussy, was your underwear, your skirt having flared out a bit. You did your best to ignore this fact, needing to focus, but still, you felt yourself getting wet against the heat of his abs. The fact that you were already turned on from being beside Jeongin and the thirst edits youâd watched also didnât help your situation.
âYou drunkenly confess and then try to run away? So, itâs safe to assume you meant it then? Because if you didnât, you wouldnât have run. Youâd have denied, or joked.â You didnât bother suppressing your grin.
âCan we end the teasing early, please. Really not how I want my day to go.â He turned his head, not looking at you.
âYou idiot,â you rolled your eyes at him. âWhy do you think I left Busan the second I could to follow you here? I couldâve stayed behind for Eun-Ji, ya know, my other best friend? But I didnât. Because Iâm not in love with her.â
âButâŚ,â his brow furrowed in confusion, looking at you out of the corner of his eyes, âyou moved here almost five years ago.â
âYouâre adorable when youâre confused.â
He wiggled in place under you and you had to bite the side of your tongue to hold in the moan that movement elicited. Finally, he turned to face you completely. âI donâŚ. Youâve been in love with me for five years?â
âMore than. I donât actually know how long,â you shrugged. âItâs why no one back home was surprised I followed you out here.â
His hands, which had been fisted in his sheets like he was trying not to touch you, came up to tentatively smooth over your thighs, over your skirt, and gently grasp your hips. You saw the look on his face shift from a little confused still to curious as his grip settled you more firmly against his abs.
âHold on, are youâŚ?â he shifted again and you pressed your lips together to hold in another moan. âYou are.â His eyes lit up. âYouâre wet, Y/nnie. Do you like sitting on me that much?â The familiar sly smile graced his face as he further tightened his grip on your hips, deliberately pulling you more firmly against himself.
âNow is not the time, Innie. Weâre having a discussion.â You attempted to remain serious, even as you rolled your hips against him, pulling a low moan from your own throat at the friction that move provided.
âYouâre absolutely right,â his smile didnât dim at all. âYou were saying no one back home was surprised you followed me?â
âOf course they werenât.â He held tight to your hips, rocking you against his abs again.
âWhy not?â he asked, when you didnât go on.
âThey all knoh that Iâve been in love with you for years.â You braced a hand on his chest, as he kept up a steady, firm pace, rolling you against his abs. âGod, whyâs that feel so good?â
He slid his hands down off your hips, then up under your skirt, to grip your bare hips. âDoes it, Y/nnie?â He shifted your hips, shifting the way your clit rubbed against his abs, and pulling another moan from you. âIâll take that as a yes.â He smirked. âWhy didnât you ever say? That you love me?â
âWhy didnât â ah â you?â You countered, voice breathy. You were more than a little surprised at just how good it felt to be rubbing against Jeonginâs abs.
âNerves,â he answered simply. âI say something and I risk losing my best friend. But if Iâd known it would get me this â you humping yourself on my abs like youâre in heat,â he gave you that sly smile again, the tip of his tongue sliding out. You pinched him where your hand was braced on his chest, pulling a chuckle from him.
âSame though,â you answered finally, working to control your breathing. He nodded before stopping your hip movement and smirking at the whine that pulled from you. His hand slid over and shifted your panties to the side. âOh god,â you moaned, feeling him against your bare pussy.
âYeah, bet that feels better instead of your soaked panties, huh baby?â he teased. You glared, but it didnât stop you from rolling your hips again. He flipped the front of your skirt up, holding it up with his hands on your hips. âMm, such a cute pussy, baby. Canât wait to feel you on my cock.â
You whimpered, not only at his words and the image they provided, but at the feeling of your orgasm building up in your belly. âI swear, if you make me cum before you kiss me ââ Your threat was cut off as he tangled one hand in the front of your sweater and pulled you down to him. You barely caught yourself in time to stop from crashing face first into him, but it was totally worth it when you felt his lips on yours for the first time. You moaned into his mouth as he tilted his own head to deepen the kiss, your hand gripping his shoulder tighter and your hips speeding up.
âCâmon baby,â he pushed up on your chest, moving you just far enough that he could talk. âYou gonna cum for me? Make a mess on my abs?â You whimpered, the hand still on your hip, pulling you tighter against him. Laying on him like this, you got more direct stimulation to your clit and it was doing wonders toward building your orgasm. Then he flexed, giving you harder muscles to rub against. âYeah, you are. Look at you, baby. So pretty, falling apart on me.â
His words were doing as much for you as the stimulation on your clit. You ground down on his abs a handful more times before finally that coil in your belly snapped and you came, shuddering above him.
âGood girl,â Jeongin wrapped both arms around you, tugging you down against his chest and running a soothing hand over your back. âGod baby, you look so good when you cum. Knew you would, knew youâd be gorgeous falling apart for me.â He pressed soft kisses against the side of your head and face that he could reach. You lay against him, delighting in his closeness as you got your breathing under control. âBaby?â he asked, once your breathing was back to normal.
âHm?â
âYou good to keep going, or no?â
âWhy would I stop now?â you demanded, sitting back up, still straddling him.
He offered a small smile and said, âIâve been with two girls who had fairly long recovery periods and didnât want to be touched after an orgasm.â
âMm.â You did not like the thought of him having sex with other people. You knew he had, objectively. But you didnât want to think of it.
Clearly he caught something in your eyes or face that let him know what you were feeling, probably thanks to knowing each other for so long. His small smile widened into a teasing smirk. âAre you jealous, baby?â
âNo,â you insisted. âTheyâre not the ones who just came on your abs. Their loss,â you shrugged.
âMm-hm. And donât you forget it.â You leaned back over him, capturing his lips in a heated kiss. Arms still around you, Jeongin sat up, causing you to shift so that you were in his lap instead of on his abs now. You broke the kiss, head lolling back as you moaned at the feeling of his hard cock under you. The way your underwear was shoved to the side was starting to get uncomfortable but, with the way he felt under you and with the way he was kissing and licking your neck, you could not have cared less.
You gasped, hand flying to his hair, as he harshly sucked a hickey into the side of your neck, then whimpered, pussy clenching when he shifted slightly to bite down where your neck and shoulder met. He pulled away again to capture your lips, his tongue sliding past your lips and over yours. You ground down against his cock, smirking when he pulled away from your mouth with a groan.
âShirt off, baby. Lemme see those pretty tits,â his hands slid up under the hem of your sweater. You quickly tugged it off, tossing it off the side of his bed, quickly followed by your bra. âGorgeous,â his hands slid up, cupping each breast. He leaned in, pressing a kiss to one nipple before his tongue darted out, kitten licking the same nipple. His other hand gently squeezed your tit, fingers quickly shifting to play with that nipple. His eyes stayed focused on your face, watching every reaction.
You buried a hand in his hair, holding him against you, even as you rolled your hips against the bulge in his sweats. He switched his mouth to the other boob, sucking your nipple into his mouth. He gently suckled on you as the fingers on his other hand rolled and tugged on your other nipple, pulling soft moans from between your lips.
He released your nipple with a soft âpopâ then dropped to lay back on his bed. âCome up here,â he tugged your hips, dragging you up his body. âNeed you to sit on my face.â You lifted, about to get off of him so you could at least take your panties off, when he took the opportunity to reach between your thighs. You thought maybe he was going to push his fingers into you â a very welcome intrusion. Instead, he tore the crotch of your panties.
âJeongin!â
âWhat? They were already ruined with how wet you got them.â
âShut up,â you flushed.
âMake me,â he grinned slyly up at you, his tongue flicking out over his bottom lip. You narrowed your eyes at him, aware that his words were more dare than teasing. You crawled up the rest of his body, kneeling on either side of his face and felt him chuckle just as you sat on his mouth. He wrapped his arms around your thighs, holding you to him, tongue lapping at your wet folds, your ruined underwear laying against his chin and nose. You quickly tucked your skirt into itâs waist band so you could look down and see his face.
âOh god, Innie,â you groaned, one hand bracing against his headboard, the other coming down to tangle in his hair. He hummed against you, vibrations shooting straight into you. Your hips moved without your conscious decision, rubbing yourself against him as he alternated his tongue, licking your clit one second, then fucking up into your cunt the next. He wrapped his lips around your clit, gently sucking it into his mouth and batting it around with his tongue, before quickly shifting to fuck his tongue up into your hole again.
His hands slid from your hips, coming up to fondle your tits. You lost yourself in the pleasure of his mouth and his hands. His lips and tongue seemed to be on every centimeter of your pussy constantly, licking, kissing, and sucking your flesh while he swallowed down every bit of arousal flowing from you. You rolled your hips, humping yourself against his face, broken moans falling from your lips constantly.
His fingers teased your nipples, plucking, pinching, and rolling the sensitive nubs between his fingertips, before his hands shifted to squeeze your tits. He gently squeezed both mounds of flesh, pressing them together and flicking his thumbs over your hardened nipples. Your grip on his hair tightened as you clenched against his tongue. He moaned against you, shifting to wrap his lips around your clit.
He suckled the little bundle of nerves into his mouth, pressing his tongue firmly against it, then flicking it with the tip of his tongue. âClose,â you moaned out. He didnât change his actions, continuing to flick your clit with his tongue and very soon after, you were cumming, back arching and gushing on his face. You sagged forward, forehead pressed against the top of his headboard as you came down from your high. Below you, Jeongin lapped up your release.
You felt him wipe his face on your skirt then let out a surprised yelp when he yanked you down onto the bed beside him. âYouâre delicious,â he said, pressing a soft kiss to your cheek.
âAlways knew that tongue would be amazing,â you replied. He laughed, bright and loud. âMm,â your hand smoothed down his chest, coming to rest on the prominent bulge in his loose sweats. âNeed you in my mouth Innie,â you said, gently squeezing his dick.
He groaned. âWanna suck me off, baby?â
âNope. Want you to fuck my mouth.â You tipped your head back to look up at him, blinking up at him as innocently as you could with your hand still fondling his cock through his pants. âWill you, pretty please?â
He groaned again, eyes rolling back, before leaning down to capture your lips in a hard, possessive kiss. You moaned at the taste of yourself on his tongue when he pushed it into your mouth. He broke the kiss, rolling away from you and off the bed. You watched as he stood up and shucked off his sweats â no underwear under them. You moaned, watching his hard cock bob when he pulled his pants down.
âCome here, baby,â he held out his hand to you, cocky grin on his face. You shifted over to him, pulling off your skirt and destroyed panties, and tossing them toward where you sweater and bra had landed, as you did. Jeongin leaned down, claiming your lips in a hard, possessive kiss before manhandling you into the position he wanted you in. He laid you on your back, legs relaxed, hands on your thighs, head dangling over the edge of the bed. âReady?â he asked, gripping the base of his cock.
âPlease,â you responded, dropping your jaw and holding your tongue out over your bottom teeth.
He was gentle, shallow, on the first motion. He slid just the head of his cock against your tongue, letting you taste the precum beading on his slit. With each roll of his hips, he pushed a little more of his cock into your waiting mouth. You were torn â on the one hand, he was being sweet and caring, letting you adjust and figure out how much of his cock would fit in your mouth; on the other, you really just wanted him to do as youâd asked and fuck your mouth.
You struggled a little, gagging lightly, before he was all the way in your mouth, but you still whined when he quickly pulled out. He looked down at you, head tilted to the side as though in question. Then he took the hand that had been around the base of his cock and placed it on your throat. He didnât apply any pressure, just held his hand there almost as if holding you still. You moaned as he pushed his cock back in your mouth, this time completely bottoming out until you gagged around his head. He held there for a few seconds before pulling back and asking, âOkay?â
âPlease,â you pleaded, voice already breathy.
He grinned again. Keeping that hand still on your neck, he built up a steady rhythm, fucking his cock into your more-than-willing mouth. You moaned around his length, fingers curling and scratching your own thighs.
You could feel yourself getting wetter again and some distant part of your mind wondered if it was healthy to still be this turned on after youâd already cum twice. Mostly though, you didnât have the brain space to really think about it. You could feel your mind going a little hazy, like it did when you had a partner you could trust to take care of you while he used you.
Without conscious decision, one of your hands slid off your thigh to your soaked pussy. You ran two fingers along your slit, gathering your own wetness, before pressing those fingers against your clit, your hips lifting slightly to seek the relief your fingers were bringing.
Jeongin batted your hand away from your clit, then landed a quick smack to your pussy lips. He pulled out of your mouth, using the hand that had been against your throat to tip your head so he could look you in the eyes. âThat pussy is mine to play with, understand?â You whimpered, even as you nodded. âGood,â he replied, landing one more quick slap on your pussy before thrusting back into your waiting mouth.
You tried to close your legs, hoping for that relief at least, but he pushed your thighs apart, slapping you again. You clenched around nothing as you moaned around his length. Understanding what he wanted, you spread your thighs further apart, bending your knees and planting your feet flat on his bed.
âGood girl,â he groaned out. The praise sent a shiver of lust down your spine and you rolled your hips, seeking some sort of friction you knew wasnât there. He kept up his steady pace in your mouth, unconcerned about the drool spilling over your cheeks and into your hair. The hand on your neck tightened briefly and you moaned. âYeah, sweet girl? Do you like letting me use you?â You moaned in response, pulling an echoing groan from him.
âSo good to me, Y/nnie, letting me use your pretty mouth.â His praises came out breathier as he kept going, punctuated with his own moans. âLook so pretty in my bed. Gonna let me fuck that gorgeous cunt too? Make a mess of your sloppy cunt, hm?â
You had gripped the blanket below you to resist the urge to reach for your pussy. Part of you wondered if heâd slap your pussy again if you did â and wanted him to. But there was a little niggle that maybe heâd stop fucking your mouth and you really wanted him to come down your throat, so you resisted. Your grip on the blanket tightened as his hips sped up, causing a little gag with every thrust. Your pussy clenched as you thought about him fucking your pussy like he was fucking your mouth.
âGonna cum, Y/nnie. Where, baby?â Your hand flew to his hips, as if you could hold him in your mouth. You sucked him, as best as you could given the way your head was tilted. He groaned and you felt his cock twitch in your mouth seconds before he stilled and you tasted his hot cum flooding your mouth. He pulled out quickly, tilting your head back up so it was easier for you to swallow. Your tongue darted out, catching the little bit that had spilled onto your upper lip. âGod, baby,â he groaned out, watching you.
He grabbed your hips, pushing a bit so you were fully on the bed again. Then he bent over you, forehead resting on your belly as he tried to catch his breath. You carded your fingers through his messy, sweat-dampened hair, working to catch your own breath even as you tipped your head slightly back to kitten lick the head of his still-hard cock. The broken moan that came from him at your actions, spurred you to keep going.
Abruptly, he stood straight up and stared down at you. âYouâre going to be the death of me, woman.â You grinned happily up at him. He reached for your hips again, manhandling you to spin you around. He brought your hips to the edge of his bed, hooking his hands under your knees to keep your thighs spread, legs in the air, and thrust into you with one smooth stroke.
âOh god,â you moaned out, hands flying to tightly grip his arms.
âYeah?â he offered his sweetest smile, the kind that usually melted your insides but this time, set them aflame. He leaned over you, spreading your thighs as wide as possible, to claim your lips in a sweet kiss. He pulled away from your lips to say, âYouâre so wet baby. Did you really enjoy that, that much?â
âMm-hm,â you nodded, smoothing your hand up one of his arms and coming up to wrap around the back of his neck. âTrust you, like it when you use me,â you said simply, struggling for a moment to find words.
He seemed to notice your struggle because the sweet look in his eyes shifted, turning darker, but he didnât actually say anything. Instead, he pulled back, pulling nearly all the way out of you, before slamming back in again, as hard as the angle he was at would allow him to. Though you didnât see it, he grinned at the way your eyes rolled back in your head. He shifted back, standing fully upright and keeping your thighs spread, then set a fast, punishing pace.
He looked down at where you were connected, groaning as he watched his cock disappear into you. âFeel so good, sweet girl. Pussyâs so wet and warm. Take me so well,â he moaned out between thrusts. You had a bit of trouble hearing him over the nearly constant moans he was pulling from you. Already being on the edge from the way heâd used your mouth, your orgasm was building quickly and he could feel it in the way you clenched around him. âFeeling good, baby? You gonna cum on my cock like a good girl?â
You moaned in response, long and deep in your chest, nodding your head though it felt difficult to do, like youâd just woken up. Jeongin let go of both of your legs, reaching down with one hand to wrap around the back of your neck and tug you up closer to him. Meeting you halfway, he leaned down to claim your lips in a sloppy, barely-a-kiss, kiss. You couldnât seem to get your lips to cooperate with you, so you mostly just moaned against his lips. Not that he seemed to mind. His other hand slipped between your bodies, his thumb coming to rub quick, firm circles against your clit.
With just a few more hard thrusts, you came apart, back arching, head lolling back, as your orgasm crashed though you. Jeonginâs thrusts slowed, but didnât stop, as he fucked you through your high. He laid you back on the bed, following so he was bent over you. He pressed his face between your tits, pressing open-mouthed kisses against your chest before twisting to take one of your nipples between his lips. You whimpered as he sucked the bud into his mouth, tongue flicking over it.
Your legs wrapped around his waist as he continued the slow roll of his hips, one hand coming up to tangle in his hair as he continued to suck on your tit. You relished the slow drag of his cock in your sensitive cunt, whimpering with each roll of his hips, but the part of your mind that was still present, wanted to feel him cum in you, wanted to feel him fill you up. To get him to speed up, you deliberately clenched around him.
You felt the huff of his chuckle against your wet nipple as he pulled away. âReady for more, sweet girl?â You nodded, tightening your legs around his hips. âGonna make a mess of this pussy, just like I said. Gonna let me cum in you, let me ruin you?â
âYes,â you forced the word out, voice breathy and barely loud enough to be heard. This time you saw his wicked grin.
Instead of fucking you harder, like youâd thought he would, he pulled out completely. You whined, kicking your legs in protest. He grabbed one of your legs, stopping your kicks as he pressed a kiss to the side of your ankle. âI know, poor baby.â Any sympathy in his voice was wrecked by the wicked grin still on his face. âRelax, sweet girl. Just wanna move you.â
You let him manhandle you to the new position he wanted. He moved you properly up on his bed, laying flat, face down against the pillow heâd been sleeping on, grabbing the other and stuffing it under your hips. He kept your thighs pressed together, but canted your hips up slightly. You felt him shift around behind you, looking back as best as you could from the angle you were at, watching him bracket your thighs with his own. You watched him grab the base of his cock and press against your cunt. You shouldâve been, but werenât prepared for the force of his thrust as he slid back into you. You slid up against his pillow with the force of his thrust, groaning at the feeling of being full again.
He gripped your hips, quickly finding his former, hard pace. You, of course, couldnât see it, but Jeonginâs gaze was locked on your fucked-out face, watching the way your eyes had rolled back and the drool that was already steadily seeping onto his pillow. He couldnât bring himself to care that heâd definitely have to do laundry today. His grip on your hips tightened as he fucked you harder, delighting in every strangled moan he pulled from your throat.
He dropped forward, catching himself with a hand on either side of your head. He hovered over you, caging you against his bed, close enough to feel the heat from his skin, but not close enough to touch. You canted your hips back, changing the angle enough to pull him deeper into you. You whined at the way his cock rubbed against every sensitive spot in your cunt.
âYeah, baby? Does that feel good?â You couldnât find words to answer, just whimpers and trying to move your hips against him. âMm, I always wondered what youâd be like with my cock in you,â his voice was breathy but still teasing. âAnd look at you, completely cock-drunk.â He rocked his hips, pulling a whine from you when he went deeper into you. He pressed open-mouthed kisses to the side of your face and lips, your neck and shoulder, between muttered praises. âFeel so good on my cock, baby. Take me so well, like you were made for me. Canât believe we wasted so much time. Shoulda told you I love you forever ago. Gonna make up for it now, love you good. Love you forever.â
You whined and whimpered under him, too far gone to truly register his words, just the tone in which he said them. Your breath came fast and in short huffs. Distantly you registered that you were getting a little dizzy but it wasnât something you could articulate or even really focus on for more than a second.
His hand slid under your hip, quickly finding your clit. âGonna cum in you, sweet girl. Think you have one more for me? Yeah, you do. Can feel it. Thatâs it, baby, let go for me. Come on.â And you did, fists tightly gripping the pillow under your face, cunt clenching around his cock, and your vision going white.
The next thing you knew, Jeongin was lying beside you, hand softly smoothing up and down your spine. âHey baby. You back with me?â
You blinked owlishly at him a few times, struggling for a moment to process what had happened. âDid I pass out?â
âOnly for like a minute.â You shifted to face him fully, feeling his cum leak from you and onto his blanket. âGonna have to keep a better eye on your breathing next time. You started to hyperventilate and I didnât catch it. Iâm sorry, baby.â You saw guilt creep into his eyes.
âOh Innie, you have nothing to apologize for. Iâm more than fine, baby. I swear.â You reassured him, reaching out to press your hand over his still-thudding heart.
âMm.â You couldnât tell if he was fully reassured or not, but he said, âStill, Iâm going to keep a better eye on your breathing. That scared me a bit. Well, more than a bit.â
âOkay,â you agreed easily. You tried to shift again, tried to move closer to him, only to find that your limbs felt like jello.
He chuckled, seeing your semi-glare at your own legs. âCome here,â he reached over and tugged you so that you were nearly on top of him. Something of your surprise at how close he wanted you to be mustâve shown on his face because he said, âI like how close you are. Always.â A pleased, giddy, grin broke across your face and you nuzzled against his pec. After a quiet moment, during which his fingers trailed up and down your arm, he shifted. âCome on. I need another shower, and I know you do too.â
He slipped out from under you then reached out and scooped you up in a bridal carry. âInnie!â
âItâs fine, Iâve got you.â You didnât protest further, letting him carry you into his bathroom. In the shower, he let you lean on him, supporting you weight even after you didnât need him to, while you both cleaned up, scrubbing the sweat, drool, and cum from you both.
Once out, he wrapped you in a towel while you wrapped your hair in another. Then, once again, picked you up and carried you back into his room.
âHere, baby,â Jeongin sat you on the ottoman at the foot of his bed. âStay here. Iâm gonna strip the bed, start the laundry, then Iâll bring you a snack, okay?â
âI can move on my own, Innie.â
âYeah, now you can,â he teased, chuckling. He gently ran a finger tip over your flushed cheeks. His voice softened, âLet me take care of you, sweet girl.â
âOkay,â you said softly, nodding a little. He grinned and leaned in to press a quick, firm kiss to your lips, before moving off to put on boxers and strip his bed.
You sat, wrapped in a towel still, and watched him, marveling at how thoroughly your best friend and now lover wanted to take care of you.

Before Jungkook enlists in the military, his life takes an unexpected turn when he visits a local restaurant with friends and meets a waitress who doesnât recognize him. Surprised by your lack of star-struck reaction, Jungkook finds himself drawn to your down-to-earth nature, especially his previous struggles with the pressure of constant drama on social media regarding his relationships. Little do you know, Jungkook is about to leave for the military, which inevitably bringâs complications to their connection⌠do they find a way to fix it?

masterlist , < prev | next >
Monday
Jungkook wakes up in a blur of warmth and regret, tangled in sheets that smell like nothing. They should smell like you. They did smell like you. That soft, familiar scent that clung to his hoodie whenever youâd burrow into his chest after a long shift. Instead, itâs just detergent and sleep, and he fucking hates it.
He groans, sitting up, blinking blearily at the sunlight slicing through the blinds. His phone is the first thing he grabs, thumb unlocking it with muscle memory, swiping down to his messages.
Nothing. Like always.
No texts. No missed calls. No tiny olive branch in the form of a single word, an emoji, a punctuation markâanything.
He exhales sharply, scrubbing a hand down his face. âYeah, no shit,â he mutters to himself. What did he expect? That youâd suddenly wake up and forgive him because the sun rose?
He tosses his phone onto the bed with a scoff, laughing bitterly at his own stupidity before dragging himself to the bathroom.
The shower is quickâhot enough to scald, like it can burn off the mistakes of the past few weeks. It doesnât. When he steps out, towel slung low on his hips, the clock reads 8:00 AM.
Which means 8:30 is soon.
Which means 9:00 AM is coming.
Which means youâll be at work.
He swipes his phone off the bed again, checks one more timeâjust in case, just to confirm that he is, in fact, a pathetic idiotâbefore dressing quickly. Simple fit. Black hoodie, sweats, cap. Sunglasses, in case the universe is feeling extra cruel today.
At first, heâs thinking of heading to the supermarket. Thatâs what normal people do, right? Pick up a bouquet, make some dramatic apology with store-bought roses that have been sitting in the refrigerated section for God knows how long?
But then he shakes his head.
No.
Thatâs not him. Thatâs not you.
The supermarket is impersonal. The flowers there have no life. Theyâre plucked, packaged, shipped, and sold, like love on a goddamn conveyor belt. And maybe if this were any other girl, he could settle for that.
But this is you. And youâre not any other girl.
And for you, only the field will do.
It takes twenty minutes to get there, and by the time Jungkook pulls up, the morning air is crisp and golden, the kind that makes you feel like something is about to change. The field stretches before him in lazy waves, dotted with wildflowers that seem to reach toward the sun, unaware of the man currently kneeling in their midst like a desperate idiot.
His hands sink into the earth, fingers brushing against soft petals as he plucks the daisies carefully, like an offering. The yellow ones. The ones that remind him of you.
It should be ridiculous. Maybe it is. But the thought of you holding something that grew from the ground, something touched by the same wind that once tangled your hair when he brought you hereâ
Thatâs worth a little dirt on his knees.
Once he has enough, he dusts himself off, eyeing his work. The bouquet is uneven, messy, imperfectâjust like him. But itâs real. And real is all he can give you.
He stops by a convenience store on the way back. No extravagant chocolates. No fancy truffles or artisan shit he canât pronounce. Just plain milk chocolateâsafe, simple, something he knows youâll eat without question.
And then itâs time.
He drives to your apartment, and when he arrives, Jungkook double-checks before stepping out of his car, watching your apartment window like a hawk. No movement. No shadows. Just stillness.
Good.
He moves quickly, hood pulled up, sunglasses on, looking less like a world-famous singer and more like some local creep delivering secret gifts. He crouches at your doorstep, placing the bundle of daisies down with careful precision, like if he moves too fast, theyâll disintegrate. Then, he pulls a scrap of paper from his pocket, unfolding it with shaky fingers.
A pen was a struggle to find this morning, and the ink smudged a little when he wrote the note, but the words are clear enough:
Please just talk to me. One word. One text. Anything. Iâm sorry.
His throat tightens as he sets it beside the flowers, weighing it down with the chocolate bar so it wonât fly away.
And then he retreats.
Back to the car. Back to waiting.
He stays there, parked across the street like a total freak, watching, waiting, ignoring the calls from his manager that light up the dashboard. He should be in meetings. He should be doing literally anything else. But nothing feels more important than this.
Time stretches thin. Hours pass.
Until finally, a familiar car pulls in.
Nariâs.
Jungkook straightens instinctively, heart hammering. He ducks slightly, shifting in his seat like a criminal evading capture.
You step out of the passenger side, lookingâGod.
Tired. Pretty. Distant. Everything he misses and everything heâs lost, wrapped into one person.
He stays completely still as you walk toward the apartment, Nari at your side, keys in hand. He canât see your face when you stop at the door, canât hear the words exchanged, but he doesnât need to. He watches, frozen, as you look down.
And then, you pick up the chocolates.
Not the flowers. Not the note. Just the chocolates, snatched up and taken inside like nothing else exists.
Jungkook exhales shakily.
It hurts.
It stings in that way only you can make it sting. But at the same timeâhis heart clenches, because itâs so you. Itâs such a you thing to do, choosing something safe, something easy, something that doesnât require touching the mess he made.
And at least you took something, right?
At least that means something.
Doesnât it?
He waits another twenty minutes, just to be sure. Then, like a thief in the night, he sneaks back up, creeping toward your doorstep with the grace of a man who has nothing left to lose.
And sure enough, the flowers are still there. The note, untouched.
Jungkook swallows hard, staring at the remnants of his silent plea.
His hands clench at his sides.
This is going to take more than just daisies.
Tuesday
Jungkook has never been much of a morning person, but today, heâs up before his alarm. Not that he really slept. He spent most of the night staring at his ceiling, replaying the moment you snatched the chocolates off your doorstep like some kind of reluctant peace offering. It wasnât much. But it was something.
And something is better than nothing.
So, naturally, he decides today needs to be bolder.
Sitting in his car, parked outside the diner five minutes before your shift starts, he ignores the relentless buzzing of his phone.
Another meeting missed. Another unread text from his manager.
Whatever.
They can wait. You, on the other handâ
Well, he canât afford to waste time.
When he walks into the diner, the bell above the door chimes, and the air smells exactly the same as it always hasâcoffee, maple syrup, a faint trace of grease and nostalgia. Itâs the kind of scent that clings to you, seeps into your clothes, settles in your hair.
The scent of the place where he met you.
The last time he was here, he had sulked at a table like a lovesick idiot. But today, he heads straight for the barâthe place where you and Nari always stand.
His presence is immediate, like a storm rolling in. Youâre mid-conversation with a customer when you see him, and your whole body stiffens. The easy warmth in your voice vanishes, replaced by something colder, sharper.
Jungkook slides onto the stool at the bar like he belongs there, like heâs just some guy grabbing coffee instead of a man desperately trying to piece himself back together in the exact place where he lost you.
And thenâ
You scowl.
Hard.
Your eyes narrow, your lips press into a thin, furious line, and for a split second, he swears you might actually throw the pot of coffee at his head.
He may or may not find it the tiniest bit cute.
But thenâyour lip trembles. Just a little.
And his heart seizes in his chest.
Because there it is. There you are. Even if itâs just in the form of pure, unfiltered hatredâitâs still you. Heâll take it.
Nari appears like an omen, planting herself directly between you and Jungkook with her arms crossed, expression screaming murder.
âOh, look,â she drawls. âA stray dog. Didnât realize we were running a shelter today.â
Jungkook sighs. âGood morning to you too, Nari.â
âDonât âgood morningâ me. What do you want?â
Jungkook doesnât answer immediately. He should say coffee. He should say breakfast. He should say literally anything normal. But his eyes flicker back to you, watching the way you very deliberately avoid looking at him, the tension wound tight in your shoulders.
Youâre mad. Youâre hurt. But youâre still here.
And thatâs enough.
Nari clicks her tongue, unimpressed. âAlright, since youâre just gonna sit there like an emotionally constipated golden retriever, Iâll get your Americano.â
She turns, yanks the coffee pot off the burner, and pours it aggressively into a glass of ice. The way she slams it down in front of him nearly causes a spill.
âNo refills,â she snaps.
Jungkook exhales through his nose, staring at the mug. âJeez, thanks.â
âFuck off.â
He takes a sip, but the coffee tastes like sawdust. Not because itâs badâbut because his stomach is twisted into knots, and you still havenât said a single word to him.
So he does what heâs been doing best latelyâhe watches.
Watches the way you greet customers with a polite smile, the way you laugh at some old manâs joke, the way you linger just a little longer at table 3 when you think he isnât looking.
And he knows what youâre doing.
Youâre putting on a show.
Youâre making sure he sees how fine you are without him. Itâs working.
And itâs pissing him the fuck off.
Especially when your boss, the old-aged guy with graying hair, makes a passing comment about how âsomeoneâs extra cheerful today.â
Jungkookâs grip on his mug tightens. He stays long enough to suffer through another fifteen minutes of watching you pretend he doesnât exist before he gives up. Thereâs no point.
This was a stupid idea.
So he digs into his pocket, pulls out some cash, and slaps it onto the counterâmore than enough for the coffee and then some.
âKeep the change,â he mutters.
Then, without another word, he turns and storms out, and second the door swings shut behind him, you let out a shaky breath.
Nari smirks, wiping her hands on her apron. âWell, that was fun.â
You donât answer. Your chest feels tight, your hands still curled into fists.
It wasnât fun. Not even a little bit.
Because the moment you saw him sitting there, looking at you like that, it felt like someone had cracked open your ribs and reached straight into your heart. And now, as much as you donât want to, you feel like crying.
Nari sees it before you can even blink.
âHey,â she says, voice softer now. She nudges you gently with her elbow. âItâs okay.â
You exhale sharply, then force yourself to meet her gaze. And then, with zero hesitation, Nari lifts her hand.
âHigh five?â She grins.
You hesitate for a split second before finally slapping your palm against hers.
Itâs weak. Pathetic.
But itâs something..
Wednesday
Jungkook has officially lost it.
Thatâs the only logical conclusion. Because at this point, heâs not even in his car anymore. Heâs not lurking from the shadows like some angsty movie protagonist. No.
Heâs sitting outside your apartment.
Like a fucking maniac.
At first, he tells himself heâll only stay for a little while. Just an hour. Maybe two. Just enough time toâwhat? What is he even expecting to happen? That youâll step outside and suddenly decide you love him again? That youâll take one look at his miserable ass and fold instantly?
Pathetic.
Still, he stays. And he waits. And he waits. Andâ
His phone vibrates in his pocket. Again.
The screen lights up with another call from his manager, who, at this point, is probably questioning whether Jungkook is alive.
He flips his phone over, setting it face-down on the concrete. Not today.
The hours pass painfully slow. He watches the sky shift from bright blue to burnt orange to deep, inky black, and stillâno sign of you.
Where the fuck are you?
He pulls out his phone and checks the date.
Wednesday. Your day off.
And just like that, it hits him.
Youâre out.
Itâs your day off. Youâre out.
How the fuck did he forget?
He groans, dragging his hands down his face. No wonder you havenât come home yet. Youâre probably off having the time of your life while he sits here like an abandoned dog.
Embarrassing.
Still, he waits. For what? He doesnât know.
And thenâfinallyâat 9 p.m, he hears footsteps. Loud. Stumbling. A little chaotic. And thenâ
Laughter.
His head snaps up just in time to see you and Nari rounding the corner, heels clicking against the pavement, arms linked.
Andâ
Oh.
Youâre in a dress.
A tiny fucking dress.
Itâs barely there, riding up your thighs, hugging every curve, glittering faintly under the dim glow of the streetlights.
And Nari? Sheâs just as bad. The two of you look like youâve just walked straight out of some high-fashion editorial.
Jungkook swallows. Hard.
He should not be thinking about how good you look.
But he is.
Fuck.
Your hair is a mess. Your makeup is slightly smudged. Youâre clearly tipsy, giggling at something Nari just said, your arms wrapped around each other for balance.
And yet, youâve never looked more beautiful.
For a second, he just stares. Thenâhe moves.
Heâs on his feet in an instant, brushing dust off his jeans as he takes a hesitant step forward.
And thenâNari spots him. Her entire face drops. âOh, hell no.â
Jungkook freezes.
You blink blearily, head tilting. âWaitâŚâ You squint, eyes unfocused, like youâre trying to process if heâs really there or if the alcohol is playing tricks on you. âIs thatâŚ?â
Nari tightens her grip around your waist. âNope. Itâs not.â
Jungkook steps closer. âBabyââ
âNOPE.â
You frown, blinking rapidly. âWait, that is Jungkook, right?â
âNope,â Nari says again, louder this time, already dragging you toward the door.
Jungkook exhales sharply, running a hand through his hair. âCome on, justâjust let me talk to herââ
âDo I look like a fucking messenger pigeon to you?â Nari snaps. âNo. Back.â
Jungkook groans, watching helplessly as Nari practically shoves you inside like sheâs stuffing contraband into a duffel bag.
You, however, are still incredibly lost.
âWait, was that Jungkook?â Your voice is muffled through the door.
âNo.â
âNari, I swear I sawââ
âYou saw nothing.â
âWhy would you lie to me?â
Jungkook hears you stomp your foot, and for a brief moment, he canât tell if he wants to laugh or cry.
And thenâ
âNARI, I WANTED TO TALK TO HIMââ
âNO, YOU DIDNâTââ
âYES, I DIDââ
âGO TO BED.â
The door slams.
Silence.
Jungkook closes his eyes, exhaling slowly through his nose. Nothing is working.
Absolutely fucking nothing.
Thursday
Jungkook is trapped.
Not literally. He could technically walk out of the studio if he really wanted to. He could ditch the shoot, escape into the city, do what he does bestârun.
But thatâs the problem. He doesnât want to run.
He wants you.
Unfortunately, his manager has finally caught up to his little disappearing act, and now heâs paying the price. His entire Thursday is wasted inside a freezing studio, stuck in the same cycle of flashing lights, outfit changes, and fake-ass smiles for a camera he doesnât give a single shit about anymore.
Every time a photographer tells him to âlook sexy,â he just ends up looking like someone who hasnât slept in three days. Which, fair.
Still, he goes through the motions. Poses, angles, the occasional deep sigh.
And thenâfinallyâa break.
The moment heâs released from the studio and into the break room, he practically collapses into one of the cheap plastic chairs, head thudding against the table.
God, heâs losing his mind.
And itâs only been three days.
He groans, rubbing a hand over his face before pulling out his phone.
Nothing.
No messages. No calls.
Not from you. Not from anyone.
(Except his manager, but heâs ignoring those.)
His knee bounces beneath the table as he stares at the empty inbox, a deep frustration clawing at his ribs. Heâs already tried texting. Heâs already tried calling. And yesterdayâhe even fucking sat outside your door like a stray cat waiting for scraps, and stillânothing.
Heâs getting desperate.
Which is why, against all logic, he suddenly finds himself logging into a work computer and pulling up his email.
Itâs a stupid idea.
But he does it anyway.
The subject line is empty. The body of the email even more so. At first, he just types your name. Then, a single word.
Please.
And thenâhe hits send. A few seconds laterâ
Undelivered.
Jungkook stares blankly at the error message, blinking.
Oh.
Thatâs when he realizesâ
You blocked him.
On fucking email.
His desperation reaches new, dangerous levels.
Because suddenly, heâs pulling out his phone again, fingers moving entirely on their own, searchingâ
For Nariâs number.
The only problem? He doesnât have Nariâs number. So what does he do? He fucking looks it up. On Facebook. Jungkook has never felt like a creep in his entire lifeâuntil now. But it works. Because a few minutes later, he finds it.
And before he can even thinkâhe texts her.
Jungkook [3:27 PM]: hey
Jungkook [3:28 PM]: please just tell her to talk to me
The response is immediate.
Nari [3:28 PM]: fuck off
Jungkook exhales, already feeling the migraine forming.
Jungkook [3:29 PM]: okay but like. how did u even know it was me
Nari [3:29 PM]: because i havenât given my number to a single man since 2018 and ur the only dumbass desperate enough to go looking for it
Jungkook pauses.
SheâsâŚnot wrong.
Jungkook [3:30 PM]: yeah okay fair.
Jungkook [3:31 PM]: but can u just tell her i emailed her
Nari [3:31 PM]: LMAOOOOO
Nari [3:32 PM]: EMAIL?????
Nari [3:32 PM]: holy fuck ur down BAD
Jungkook groans, throwing his head back.
Jungkook [3:32 PM]: forget it
He slams his phone down onto the table with a loud thud, drawing the attention of literally everyone else in the break room.
A few stylists give him weird looks. One of the photographers eyes him warily over the rim of their coffee cup. Someone even mutters, âIs he okay?â
Jungkook does not care.
Heâs losing his fucking mind.
ââ
The sound of rain pattering against the window fills the small apartment, a steady rhythm against the distant hum of the city. The lamp casts a dim glow over the living room, illuminating the two of you in the comfortable mess of your couchâhalf-empty takeout containers on the coffee table, a forgotten drama playing on the TV, and a blanket lazily draped over both your legs.
It should be a peaceful night.
But Nari is looking at you.
Too long. Too intently.
And you know exactly what sheâs about to say.
âSo,â she starts, dragging the word out as she shifts, resting her chin on her palm. âWhen are you gonna give in?â
You blink, turning to her. âWhat?â
Nari raises an eyebrow. âWhen are you gonna give in?â she repeats, slower this time. âHave you not seen this man has been begging for basically a week straight?â
Your stomach clenches. You grip the blanket tighter, staring down at the threads. âIââ You shake your head, voice hesitant. âI donât know, Nari.â
âYou donât know?â she repeats, incredulous. âGirl. Are you blind?â
You shoot her a glare. âNo, Iâm not blind.â
âYou sure?â She gestures wildly with her hands. âBecause from where Iâm sitting, I see a man whoâs been wrecking himself for you. Like, heâs practically on his knees at this point.â
You exhale sharply, shaking your head. âAnd then what, Nari?â Your voice wavers as you look at her. âWhat do I do after this week? After this month? What do we do when he leaves?â The words come out sharper than you intended, but you donât stop. âHeâs got whatâthree days and one week? And then what? Heâs gone. For nearly two years.â
Nariâs face softens, but she doesnât back down. âI get it. I do,â she says. âBut look at him. Heâs destroying himself for you.â
Your throat tightens. You want to argue, but you canât. Because youâve seen it, too.
The way he lingers outside your door like a ghost of something you once knew. The way he shows up at the diner, his eyes desperate, hopeful, even when you glare at him like heâs the last person on Earth you want to see. The way his voice trembled when he called you, pleading.
Itâs breaking him.
And the worst part?
Itâs breaking you, too.
Nari hesitates, lips pressing together, like she wants to say something else. Then, she sighs, shaking her head. âJustâjust think about it, okay?â
You donât respond.
Nari stands, stretching before grabbing her bag. âIâm gonna go home now,â she says, and her voice is gentler this time. âLove you. Bye.â
You barely manage to whisper back, âLove you, too.â
Then the door clicks shut, and youâre left alone.
Alone with your thoughts.
And the lingering scent of rain through the open window.
Friday
Jungkook doesnât even realize heâs driven to the field until his feet hit the dirt. Like instinct. Muscle memory. Like the universe pulled him here before he even made the choice.
The air is crisp, biting at his skin, but he barely notices. He just stands there, staring at the spot where he fell in love with you. The same stretch of grass. The same quiet wind. The same fucking daisies that keep growing back no matter what.
Like nothing ever happened.
Like he didnât fucking ruin everything.
He exhales, running a hand through his hair. His chest feels tight. Maybe if he stands here long enough, heâll wake up and this will have all been a bad dream. Maybeâ
âYouâve gotta be fucking kidding me.â
The voice is unmistakable.
Jungkook turns, and there, standing a few feet away, is Nari.
In full hot pink running gear.
Itâs ridiculous. Blinding, even. Especially considering the fact that itâs mid-winter, and sheâs standing in the middle of this fieldâthe fieldâlike she owns the place.
He triesâreally triesâto stifle his laugh, but a smirk twitches at his lips.
âOf course youâre here,â he mutters.
âOf course Iâm here?â Nari scoffs, putting her hands on her hips. âYouâre the one who followed me, you fucking stalker. Or should I say, following YN?â
âI didnâtââ Jungkook shakes his head. âI didnât even know youâd be here.â
Nari narrows her eyes. âYeah. What a coincidence.â Then she shrugs. âGood. I was hoping Iâd find you.â
Jungkook raises an eyebrow. âOh?â
âYeah,â she huffs. âBecause Iâm so fucking sick of watching my best friend cry over you every night.â
His stomach clenches. His heart twists so painfully he swears it physically aches. He swallows. âWhy are you even here anyway?â
Nari scoffs again. âI wanted to see what all the fuss was about. This stupid field.â She gestures vaguely at the open space, unimpressed. âI get it. Itâs nice for runs.â
Jungkook deadpans. âYou donât even run.â
âYeah, well, Iâm gonna start,â she snaps back. âWhatever.â
She rips off her hot pink sweatband dramatically and points a finger at him. âCome on. Letâs talk, then.â
But neither of them actually end up talking.
Nari just stands there, casually taking selfies, the picture of someone who couldnât care less. And JungkookâJungkook just stands there, watching her, the weight of everything pressing down on him.
Until he canât take it anymore. Until it breaks him.
His knees hit the ground.
Itâs not graceful. Itâs not planned. It just happens. Like his body physically canât hold it in anymore.
âPlease.â His voice cracks. âPlease, Nari. I canât do this anymore. Iâ I canât.â
Nari gasps.
âLITERALLY NO FUCKING WAY,â she blurts out, eyes wide as she stares down at him.
Jungkook doesnât care. He doesnât care that he looks pathetic, that sheâs witnessing this downward spiral in real time. He justâhe just needs.
âPlease,â he begs again, voice raw. âHelp me. I donâtâ I donât know what else to do. Please, Nari, Iââ
Donât think sheâs not basking in this.
Nari thrives in power over a man, and this? This is once-in-a-lifetime content. Jungkook fucking Jeonâinternational superstar, golden boy, rich, famous, untouchableâis on his knees in the dirt, begging her for help.
Sheâs biting back laughter. Hard.
And she drags it out.
Because why the fuck wouldnât she?
But thenâthen Jungkook looks up, his eyes shining, his voice so genuinely broken, andâ
Okay. She might actually feel bad now.
Nari sighs, shaking her head. âAlright, alright, get up,â she mutters. âIâll help.â
Jungkookâs head snaps up so fast sheâs surprised he doesnât get whiplash. His eyes widen. âReally?â
âYeah, dumbass,â she grumbles, rolling her eyes. âI was just making you beg a little longer.â
Jungkook just stares at her, then lets out this half-laugh, half-disbelieving breath. âYouâve been so mean to me.â
Nari shrugs. âYeah, well. You deserve it.â
After a beat, nobodyâs moved.
Jungkook realizes this after a few seconds of silence. Theyâre both still standing there, neither of them making a move to leave orâwell, do anything.
And Nariâs just staring at him.
Like sheâs waiting.
Jungkook shifts awkwardly, suddenly a little nervous to ask. But then, quietly, hesitantly, he whispersâ
âSo⌠what are we doing then?â His voice is barely audible. âLike, uhâwhatâs the plan?â
Nari grins.
âAlright, listen up, loser,â she says, cracking her knuckles. âHereâs the deal. Weâre going to the supermarket. Youâre gonna get flowers. Iâm gonna get her favorite snacks. Youâre also gonna buy her a fucking plushieâwhatever one we can find in the goddamn store. Then, weâre driving to her apartment. Youâre going to stand in front of her door. Iâm going to push you inside and slam the door. Got it?â
She blurts it all out so fast that Jungkook just⌠blinks. âWait,â he says slowly. âIsnât that a bit much?â
âNope. Donât care.â
Jungkook frowns. âThatâs a lot,â he insists. âThatâfeels like an invasion of privacy.â
Nari huffs. âI donât care. If this is what you both really wantâwhich it clearly isâthen Iâm making it happen. I donât care if she hates me for it. Weâre doing it.â
Jungkook hesitates. Then he nods, running a hand through his hair. âOkay,â he mutters. âOkay, fine.â
Nari claps her hands together. âGreat. Whereâs your car?â
Jungkook hesitates again. Then, instead of answering, he turns⌠and kneels down into the grass.
For the second damn time today.
âWait,â he says, reaching for the ground. âI need to pick the flowers from here.â
Nari squints. âWhat.â
âI need to pick them from here,â he repeats, like itâs the most obvious thing in the world.
Nari just stares at him. âJungkook, we do not have time for this.â
âSupermarket flowers are dead and lifeless,â he argues. âThese have meaning.â
âOh my God,â Nari groans. âWe are literally about to have a whole-ass argument over flowers.â
âTheyâre not just flowers,â Jungkook insists, still kneeling in the grass. âTheyâre her flowers.â
Nari physically throws her head back in frustration. âJungkook, I swear to God, get your sentimental ass upââ
She lunges forward and drags him up by his hoodie. Jungkook groans in protest, but she doesnât let go until sheâs physically forcing him toward the car.
And finally, finally, they drive to the supermarket.
Jungkook hates it here.
He stares at the saddest display of dead flowers, muttering to himself about how they have âno-life-having-assâ energy. Eventually, he just grabs the next best thingâthe least ugliest daisies, which donât even smell good.
âThese are dying.â He pouts, turning the bouquet in his hand.
âLike your relationship,â Nari retorts âCâmon.â
Nari watches him grumble to himself with an exasperated sigh before grabbing a basket and aggressively pelting it full of your favorite snacks.
Jungkook eyes the growing pile, suspicious. âThis is a lot,â he points out.
âYeah?â Nari says, completely unbothered.
âI feel like some of this is for you,â he squints.
âObviously,â Nari deadpans. âNow go pay.â
And he does.
Theyâre barely back in the car for one minute before Nariâs eyes widen.
âWAITââ
Jungkook nearly slams on the brakes. âWhat?â
âYou forgot the fucking plushie!â she screeches, smacking his arm.
Jungkookâs eyes bulge. âShit.â
âGO BACK! GO BACK RIGHT NOW!â
âWhat?! Nariâ*â
âJungkook, go back before I throw myself out of this car!â
He panics. Without thinking, he throws the car into reverse and zooms back into the parking lot, nearly missing a traffic cone on the way. He parks so fast that the tires squeal against the pavement.
âHurry the fuck up!â Nari yells.
Jungkook barely hears herâheâs already sprinting back inside the supermarket, dodging carts and random shoppers like heâs in a goddamn action movie.
He skids to a stop in the toy aisle, eyes darting wildly over the selection. âShit, shit, shitââ
And then, he sees it.
A tiny, bright yellow plushie in the shape of a flower. Clearly a toy meant for toddlers, but he doesnât care. He grabs it and rushes back to the register, swiping his card so fast that the cashier blinks at him like heâs insane.
By the time he throws himself back into the car, heâs out of breath. âOkay, got it,â he pants, shoving it in Nariâs direction.
Nari blinks down at the obviously kids plushie.
âWhatever, this will do,â she decides.
Jungkook frowns, still catching his breath. âYou think sheâll still love it?â
Nari snorts. âHonestly?â She shrugs. âSheâll like anything thatâs yellow and squishy.â
Jungkook lets out a breathy chuckle, running a hand through his hair. âYeah,â he murmurs, smiling to himself. âShe definitely would.â
ââ
The drive to your apartment is excruciating.
Jungkook grips the wheel like itâs his lifeline, knuckles white, jaw tight. The flowers and snacks sit on Nariâs lap, but sheâs unbothered, scrolling through her phone, humming along to the radio.
Casual. Carefree. Like sheâs not about to shove him into the biggest confrontation of his life.
Thenâ
Crunch.
Jungkook snaps his head to the side.
Nari is eating.
His fucking snacks.
âNari.â
She glances at him, mid-chew. âWhat?â
Jungkook glares. âSeriously?â
She shrugs, taking another bite. âYou got extras.â
Jungkook sighs, exasperated. âTheyâre for her.â
âItâs fine,â she says, waving him off. âSheâs not gonna eat all of them at once. Jesus.â
Jungkook grips the wheel tighter. He should be focusing on the fact that heâs about to beg for his life. That heâs got one chance left before you walk out of his world forever.
But no.
Heâs watching Nari inhale a family-sized bag of chips.
The injustice.
By the time they arrive, Jungkook is practically hyperventilating. The second the car stops, he reaches for the gear shift.
âIâll come back tomorrowââ
Nari lunges.
She yanks the keys from the ignition, snatching them so fast he doesnât even see her hand move.
Jungkook gawks.
âOh, no you donât,â Nari says, shoving open her door. âYouâre doing this now.â
Jungkook stays seated.
Nari pauses. Thenâ âGet the fuck out of the car, Jungkook.â
Jungkook doesnât move. Nari sighs. âDo you want me to drag you? Because we know how that went last time.â
ââŚMaybe.â
âJesus Christ.â She yanks open his door, gripping his arm and physically pulling him out. Jungkook whines.
âNari, I canâtââ
âYou will.â
He digs his heels into the pavement.
âI need a secondââ
âYou donât.â
âIâll do it tomorrowââ
âYou wonât.â
She drags him up the stairs. Jungkook stumbles, nearly dropping the daisies. By the time they reach your door, Jungkook is panting. He shakes his head, gripping the flowers like they might save him.
Nari rounds on him. âYou have one week now, Jungkook. One. And you spent the past week, all of it doing stupid shit.â
Jungkook stares at the door, stomach twisting. âIââ
Nari doesnât wait. She knocks.
Jungkook freezes.
The wait is excruciating.

My Treasure
Pairing: Dragon King!Kirishima x Queen!Reader
Synopsis: You start to miss your husband while heâs away.
Genre: Fantasy au, aged up, established marriage, extreme fluff, kiri is very happy to see his wife(heâs obsessed)
Word Count: 1.2k

The length of this trip was becoming dreadful. You are normally fine taking care of the castle while your husband is away, but you have grown to miss his presence. In your eyes, there wasnât any sort of life through the entire structure. You would always wake up to soft purrs created by your beloved, but for now you only had the silent glow of the sun to awaken you. Meal times werenât as bad, but the lack of painfully embarrassing jokes and joyous laughter beside you was more evident than you would like.
The whole kingdom has noticed your downcasted expression and tried their best to distract you from your husbandâs departure. Day in and day out, something new was brought to your attention that made you miss your Eijirou more. Like how at night, the air seemed to be more chilly than before. Though it was never an issue since Eijirou was a pure Ember Heart Dragon and his body temperature was enough to keep you warm even in the dead of winter. That couldnât apply to the comforters you would mangle in the night to try and capture some sort of heat.
The day he left, he promised he would get back quickly, but you, being the ever independent woman, responded,âYou donât have to rush on my behalf.â At the time, it was true, but now you were regretting your words more than ever. It didnât help that your husband was pouting and giving you the saddest puppy eyes,âYou should just come with us.â You declined, since it was matters that only involved him, but now you wish you would have just accepted his offer.
You truly couldnât be upset, you knew about his duties a week in advance so you didnât have a reason to blame him. This was all a part of being the King of Ignatius. As the Queen, of course you had work to do as well, just not as much as him. In the early morning, you worked on writing letters about the Blue Moon Festival and how you could conjoin the other cities across the land to create a stronger connection. After that, you walked to the dungeons to help Mina, the castle's healer, with any work she needed to finish. There were only a few people sleeping on her beds, each of them already patched up, and you knew that you werenât needed.
Thankfully, Mina is a sweetheart and lets you do small tasks. Like making ready-to-go potions that just needed a liquid to activate and organizing her shelves. If Mina didnât have any patients, she would take you out for walks, plucking beautiful flowers from the garden and weaving little dandelion crowns. It was nice to know she cared enough to do something so small, but it didnât help with the emptiness that loomed over you.
âItâs terrible knowing heâs free to roam wherever and whenever with those giant wings,â You complained,âIâm almost jealous.â A quiet giggle sounded from Mina, who had been listening closely to you,â Iâm sure heâs missing you as well.â
You could only furrow your brow in sternness,âHow can you be so sure?â Mina gave you an amused look,âI remember having to calm the King down because you were a few minutes late to dinner one night. I think if we would have waited a second longer, the entire estate would have been destroyed in his attempts to find you. He was so worried.â Happiness floods your senses and you join her laughter at the image.
Mina was always a great help when it came to these things. Though you couldnât spend each day with her since she had her own responsibilities to take care of. It had been an entire week since you last saw your husband and tomorrow he was supposed to return. That night you tossed and turned, your excitement keeping you up.
âŚ
Sadly, you had spent the entire day waiting for Eijirou to get back, only to be left watching an empty sky. The sun was already falling and you couldnât help but feel saddened at the fact you hadnât seen your husband the entire day. He said he would arrive sometime near the afternoon, but it seemed his work was pushing past time. You combed out your hair, facing your large crystal and your small frown was very evident in your reflection. The shower you took was refreshing, but it seemed way too quiet in your shared room. You set down your brush, now just staring at your own frame with no certain thoughts. You should just go to bed, it would be a waste to wait on him, especially so late. You wrapped the silk robe around your clean body and walked out of your bathroom.
Just as you were about to turn in for the night, a loud roar shook the castle. Your heart leapt at the recognizable sound. Without a second's notice, you bolted out of your room, dodging the servants who were amused at your pace. Shoving the front doors open, you darted to the lawn, staring up at the ruby dragon soaring closer and closer. Relief washed over you in an instant. Eijirou was home. Your smile beamed as he flew down, landing before you. Sometimes you forget how huge Eijirou was in his dragon form.
Eijirou nuzzled his nose into your chest, knocking some of the air out of you, but you didnât mind. Your hands caressed his smooth scales, pressing tiny kisses to his skin since you just couldnât wait. When he backed away, you frowned slightly at the loss of contact, but then he was clouded by a haze of red. When the most blew away, your husband stood happily, his arms wide open. Before you could think, your feet were running and jumping into the arms of the man before you,âLooks like someone missed me.â He chuckled lovingly, wrapping his arms around your waist, along with his large wings, acting like a heated blanket.
âOf course I did, Eijirou.â You mumbled against the crook of his neck. Taking in every drop of warmth you could, you felt him reciprocate your need for affection and his hold on you tightened. You felt him pull away, but just as you were about to complain, Eijirouâs lips are connecting with yours, setting your body a flame.
Your hands rested on the side of his face and you caressed the apple of his cheek with your thumb caringly. When you pulled away, Eijirou gasped softly, his eyes turning into worry as he wiped away a stray tear from your face,âAre you alright?â You could only laugh out of pure happiness. These droplets that rolled down your cheeks were full of nothing but joy,âOf course I am,â You yanked him back to your lips. Inhaling deeply, the scent of smoke and cinnamon hit you. It was a comforting smell, one you had grown used to and didnât realize you missed. Eijirou broke the kiss, only to catch his breath and press his forehead against yours.
He hadnât even stepped foot into his home, but it didnât matter. As long as he had you, everything else could wait. You opened your eyes, staring into his beautiful scarlet ones,âPromise me youâll never be away for that long again,â His sharp toothed smile pushed past his mouth and he decorated your face in small kisses as he spoke,âI promise, My love.â

Do not go gentle into that good night
ęâĄââââââĄę ęâĄââââââĄę
Pairing: Minho X afab reader
Summary: You've been waiting months to meet your baby, but giving birth doesn't go the way you and your husband expected it to.
Genre: Angst with a happy ending
Word Count: 6.8k
Trigger warning: Mentions of blood, nausea, giving birth, bodily fluids, and near death experiences.
A/N: I combined two pregnancy requests for this and all I have to say is good luck. This took me three hours to write. This is one of my favorite things I've ever written. Yes, it does have references to Interstellar. It felt right and I feel like I'm going to think about this for the rest of my life. Enjoy <3
_ _ _
Having a baby is one of the most difficult things a person can do in their life. Expected or not, no matter the conscious decision, itâs bound to be life-changing. When you go from you to we. From me to us. One to two, possibly three or more.Â
For you and Minho, itâd been a conversation held in passing before. Jokes about someone created with each of your DNA and quirks. Maybe your eyes and his lips. His eyebrows and the length of your lashes. You always laughed and joked, never knowing when the time was right, and then it was there.Â
A heavy decision between the two of you, but you both agreed to it. Nine months and a few weeks ago, you didnât know what caused it. Perhaps, it was the conversations from his parents when they jokingly asked when their grandchildren would no longer be cats.Â
Maybe it happened because Minho caught you staring at a baby while the two of you were grocery shopping one day. The way your eyes lit up and a smile naturally came to your face. When the childâs mother stepped around the cart to grab something and for a brief moment, the strangerâs child held eye contact with you. The way it didnât feel like a coincidence, but rather a silent promise from the universe. When the time was right, youâd have your baby, too.Â
Two months and six days into your pregnancy, you bombarded Minho with baby name books from the library. You forced him into a chair in the kitchen and pointed out all the names you liked. He couldnât be mad at you. Exhausted from dance practice? Absolutely, but the way you were so happy, thereâs no way he could ruin that for you.Â
The taunting and teasing never stopped throughout your pregnancy and for that, you were grateful for. You didnât know what youâd do without it. After the shock melted away and you realized you were pregnant, you grew fearful that things would change.Â
Perhaps, heâd have second thoughts and regret it. Maybe heâd decide to leave, despite the vows you took and the way the golden bands wrapped around each of your fingers day-after-day. Your own self-doubt wrapped around you like an oversized sweater, but when Minho took that oath at the altar, he vowed to keep it forever.Â
In sickness and in health. Every time he could be, he was there. He took extra days off work when your morning sickness appeared. When your feet swelled up and tears flooded your eyes, he was right there to soothe you and gently work his fingers into the bottom of your foot.Â
When your body changed against your will and to your disappointment, he was right there consoling you. You laid in his lap, feelings scattered from the hormonal changes, but he didnât taunt you for what you couldnât control. You hated the new puffiness in your face. The way your stomach poked out with a baby bump.Â
Other days, you were glowing. Heâd wake up to you in the kitchen with multiple ingredients spread out. Humming beneath your breath, you manned the stove like a seasoned fry cook. He constantly worried, he always did. When he tried to gently work the spatula from your hand, you swatted him and told him to leave you alone. Despite your growing belly, you could manage this, for now.Â
Tying your shoes was another issue. At first, you tried to slip into them while they were still tied. The first time you realized that you could no longer reach your feet, you chucked your shoe in a random direction. Minho appeared, just barely dodging it in time.Â
It slammed into the wall with a heavy thud, but he didnât lecture you. Instead, he grabbed it and slid onto the ground beside you. When he grabbed your ankles and gently slipped your shoes around them, you burst into sobs. It was only then that he teased you about crying because he had to touch your reeking shoes. That only caused you to send the other in his direction.Â
The days and weeks ticked by. Month-after-month marched on. One week until your due date. Two days until your due date. You circled it bright red on the calendar. The day came and then it went. You waited for a sign of your water breaking, but it never came.Â
On day three, you grew antsy. Your doctor promised sheâd induce your pregnancy if you hadnât popped by the end of the week. Minho offered hot sauce, but you declined. Myths didnât work on you. You werenât convinced that itâd break your water. If it did, youâd be trapped in the hospital with heartburn.Â
Day four, Minho hesitated to go into work, but you insisted. Vowing promises that youâd call if anything changed or happened, he spent the entire day with his phone on. Not once did it ring or ping with a text message.Â
On that fateful day, the stars aligned. Deep down, you could feel it in your gut. It wasnât just the baby pressing up against your bladder again, but rather a maternal instinct. The baby was coming, regardless if you were ready or not. You had to be. In a matter of hours or a few days, your family of two would turn into a trio.Â
The nursery was a conversation that you and Minho spent a lot of time on. Back and forth, your opinions swayed and changed. You didnât know the gender of the baby, you opted to be surprised. You werenât really worried, not really. In your head, colors are colors and no matter boy or girl, youâd love them all the same.Â
The nursery didnât have to be blue or pink. For nearly two hours one night, you and Minho went back and forth discussing different ideas. At first, it was animals. Painted giraffes thatâd stare over your baby with inanimate protection and admiration in their dark eyes.Â
A small bookshelf full of baby books about a variety of different creatures. Some with creepy crawly bugs and others with the larger than life creatures hanging beneath the ocean currents. The woodland creatures hiding behind trees and tangled in the forestâs underbelly.Â
Maybe a few of those larger plush animals to settle around the room. When they grew older, your baby could pretend they were real. Everything feels larger when youâre that young. A knee high stuffed elephant to you, but a real life sized one to them.Â
The wheels shifted and turned in another direction. Minho mentioned a brief obsession he had as a young boy. Space and the aligning planets. The silent vacuum and unraveling darkness.Â
Maybe you could plant a spaceship inspired bookcase. Painted bright colors and lined with knowledge, youâd coo your kid into becoming the best explorer. Even if the world is scary and dangerous, youâd send them out there into the great beyond. No matter where life took them, youâd try to be the best parents that you could possibly be.Â
And then it all changed again. Something simple and easily changeable. After all, this would be the room where your baby would grow up. Theyâd age and flicker through the phases of life, just as you and Minho had. It had to be rational, expandable, able to be switched around to house whatever beauty that growing mind dreamt up.Â
And so you decided on a gentle night. Originally, you wanted to decorate with Minho and Minho alone, but when he announced the guys wanted to help, your heart swelled. A heart-stopping and warm reminder that you werenât just raising this baby alone, you had a village.Â
You remembered the day like it was yesterday. Felix with denim overalls and Chan and Changbin waltzing in behind him with two gallons of paint in each hand. Jeongin handed everyone brushes and everyone got busy. Too much paint, but the guys didnât care.Â
Minhoâs arm wrapped around you. He kissed your cheek and all you could do was stare. The laughter and imagination ran wild. Hyunjinâs large bright strokes of color across the white room. On the opposite side, paint from Hanâs paintbrush leaked onto Seungmin. He quickly apologized, but Seungmin retaliated by painting his elbow.Â
What should have taken hours, it only took two. When they finished, Minho led the guys downstairs to help build the crib. You walked around to take photos. Youâd never remember this day perfectly as it unwound, but you wanted to try.Â
The guys often stopped by unexpectedly. It took time before the two of you began to expect it. Chan coming over to make you a hearty and fulfilling meal. Felix randomly appearing with Jeongin and a plateful of his brownies.Â
When Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, and Seungmin appeared all together one day and offered to take you out to get your mind off your worries about the baby, you collapsed in Seungminâs arms sobbing. Gripping onto him tightly, you thanked him over and over again. All he could do was weakly console you and look to the guys for help, but he was on his own. He wasnât used to your high-strung emotions, nobody was.Â
The days all kept going and going and going. You waited and waited and waited. In the nursery, you and Minho finished it alone. Using puffy brushes, you dabbed white amongst the blue to replicate puffy white clouds. You tried to help Minho put glow in the dark stars on the ceiling, but he refused. Having you stand on a ladder and reach up, it was far too much stress and a disaster waiting to happen.Â
In the end, sitting in your rocking chair and gently rocking, it felt like being in the clouds. A white soft rug sat in the middle of the floor. You planned to use it for tummy time when the timing was right.Â
Shades of lighter blue and white filtered around the room. From plushies, curtains, and to a variety of other things, the only thing missing was your kid. You knew theyâd be here soon, you just didnât know when the time would be right.Â
You rocked in your rocking chair and waited. Minhoâs vocals bounced off the recording studioâs walls. Anxiety pulsed in his stomach and he rocked on his feet, waiting for Chanâs approval to continue singing or not.Â
Your hands wrapped around your stomach. âYouâve been in there such a long time, but I canât wait to hold you in my arms. I think youâre really going to love it here. Your father and I have spent so long waiting for you. Heâs just as excited as I am.âÂ
A faint kick hit the palm of your hand, causing you to smile. âI bet youâre tired of being in there, arenât you? Whenever youâre ready, weâll be waiting for you.â You laughed to yourself, amused with the idea of your baby rationalizing your words and understanding your thoughts.Â
You pushed against the arms to get up, but thatâs when you felt it. Something shifted internally. Your eyebrows pinched together in pain and your hand went back to your stomach. âEasy there, youâre hurting me. Try not to get too squirmy or Iâll have to call the doctor.âÂ
You couldnât understand it, not fully. Something was happening, but you werenât sure what. The sun continued to wind down from afternoon into evening. Minho reappeared at the end of the day and kicked off his shoes.Â
You sat with your cheek slung over the edge of the couch. Anxiety brewed, but you didnât know what to say to Minho, or your doctor. Your water didnât burst. You werenât bleeding vaginally. Besides an occasional pain in your stomach, nothing happened.Â
âHowâs my baby?âÂ
âIâm good,â you mumbled from the couch.
âI meant our child.âÂ
You glanced over with an unamused scowl. Minho grinned and slowly approached you. âIâm just kidding. Did anything change while I was away?âÂ
Your mouth opened and you considered telling him, but you decided against it. Worrying him was pointless, he was already anxious enough. After your due date, you knew he worried as much as you. You could tell by the way that he kept glancing over and looking at you when he thought you were distracted.Â
âNot really. A lot of bumps to my bladder, unfortunately, but Iâve made it to the bathroom every time. Itâs probably a good thing I took time off work for maternity leave, right?â You forced yourself to smile.Â
He eyed you and nodded. You didnât pull away, allowing him to lean down and press a soft kiss to your forehead. âOnly a few more days until we officially become parents. I canât wait to be a parent beside you.âÂ
âDo you think weâll be good parents?âÂ
âI know weâll be good parents. If we donât know the answers, we have your parents and my parents. Iâm sure if we needed to, the guysâ parents would help out, too. Some of my staff members are also parents. Theyâre all taking bets on the gender of the baby.âÂ
âReally?âÂ
âYeah.â He reached down and pressed a gentle hand to your stomach. âI hope youâre a boy. If youâre a girl, I owe my manager fifty bucks.âÂ
âLee Minho!âÂ
âHey, letâs be serious, do you think Iâd really pay up if our baby is a girl? Iâm going to use the excuse that Iâm a first time father. You know how my manager feels about me, right?âÂ
âYouâre being manipulative and cruel.âÂ
âIâm winning fifty bucks for this family and when I win it, weâre going out for a nice dinner.âÂ
âWith the baby?â Your eyebrow raised.Â
âOh, no. At some point, weâre going to use a break. I think my mom misses me being a baby sometimes. Sheâll get to experience it all over again with our little one.â He patted your stomach a few times and pulled away. âIâve gotta go shower, but if you need something, call me. Iâll make us dinner when Iâm finished.âÂ
You watched him disappear back into the bathroom. The pain in your stomach grew and you waited for your water to burst. You expected warmth between your legs. A gush that felt like you urinated everywhere, but it never came. Instead, nothing happened and the evening continued to unravel like usual.
 ~ ~ ~Â
The neon red letters of your clock read 2:11 AM. You blinked, groggily coming around. Behind you, Minho slept facing the opposite wall. Every night, he tossed and turned between the blankets and the mattress. Tonight, it wasnât any different.Â
However, something caused you to jerk upright. You blinked blearily, trying to get a good grasp on your surroundings. Your hand blindly fumbled over towards your husband. âMinho?â You whispered softly.Â
He shifted and his nose scrunched. In the darkness of the bedroom, night swallowed both of you whole. You forced your arm to shake his shoulder harder. Your voice came out a little louder this time. âMinho?âÂ
He groaned and spun around. âNo, I donât wanna get up. I have the day off. Leave me alone and let me sleep.âÂ
âMinho, thereâs something wrong with the baby.âÂ
His eyes cracked open and the words echoed in his head. One time. Twice. Three times and then he jerked himself up so fast, you feared you gave him whiplash. âWhat? Whatâs wrong? Did your water break? Are you bleeding?âÂ
His hands pawed around as he pushed himself up from the bed. He fumbled, attempting to find the switch to click on the lamp. âWhatâs going on? Do I need to call an ambulance?âÂ
âIâve been having what I think are contractions since yesterday afternoon and I-âÂ
The faint click caused both of your eyes to shut. Bright yellow light blinded both of you immediately. You groaned and tucked your hands around your stomach. It took a few seconds before he opened his eyes. âWhat are you talking about?âÂ
âI felt weird yesterday.âÂ
âWhy didnât you say anything?â Panic laced his voice. A hand ran through his hair and he looked for the bags the two of you previously packed. Two bags, one for each of you. Both were filled with items to last you throughout your hospital stay.Â
âI didnât want to worry you. My water didnât break and for so long, I thought it might be in my head.âÂ
âWe have to get you to the hospital right now.âÂ
âSomethingâs wrong. I donât know what it is, but itâs wrong. I donât understand it. My water hasnât broken. Iâm not bleeding. I can feel the baby moving, but I-âÂ
âLetâs go!âÂ
He wasted no time slinging the bags over his shoulders and gently helping you to your feet. In your pajama shorts and oversized t-shirt, sleep still clung to you. Instead of walking, you waddled down the hall. Not something you liked doing, but something you learned how to do as your stomach kept expanding in front of you.Â
You tried to remember the way your house looked. Two lovers with vows gifted to the gods. Golden rings around your fingers and a baby kept comfortable in your stomach. You remembered the excitement in your eyes when the two of you agreed to have a baby. The giddiness in your skips to the bedroom. Minhoâs laughter filled the crevice of every fault in your heart.Â
When you came back home, youâd be a new family of three.Â
~ ~ ~Â
âYou did the right thing by coming in. How long did you say youâve been having these pains?â The doctor glanced up from between your legs.Â
âSince yesterday afternoon.âÂ
âWell, I have good news and bad news.âÂ
Beside you, Minhoâs hand slipped into yours and he gently squeezed your hand. The doctor smiled at the two of you, a silent reassurance that despite the bad, youâd be in good hands. âThe good news is this is completely fixable.âÂ
âAnd the bad?âÂ
âWell, childbirth is never easy, is it?âÂ
âSo youâre saying that things are okay?â You squeezed Minhoâs hand tighter, hoping for reassurance. He grimaced, but didnât tell you to let go.Â
âWhat youâre experiencing right now is labor arrest. Technically, youâre in labor, but your contractions arenât strong enough to help open your cervix. We want your cervix open, so we can get the baby out vaginally.â The doctor pushed back on her stool and began to remove her gloves.Â
âSo this is fixable?âÂ
âIâm going to have a nurse administer a certain medicine via IV drip. Itâll help push you further into labor. Your contractions will increase and although it might not feel great, itâll help you dilate more. The cervix expands ten centimeters.âÂ
âHow big is that exactly?âÂ
âRoughly? About the size of the lid of a Ben and Jerryâs ice cream pint.âÂ
Minhoâs face began to grow pale. âNot to sound insensitive here, but Iâm so glad Iâm not pregnant. Youâre so strong and you can definitely do this.âÂ
You glanced up, not thrilled at his words. He gave you a faint smile and gently patted the top of your hand. âDonât worry, thereâs ways to help with pain, right?â He glanced up at the doctor for reassurance.Â
âOf course. If the contractions become too bad and too painful, we can always administer an epidural to numb you from the waist down. I know itâs scary, but donât worry, youâre in good handsâ The doctor patted your shoulder and disappeared from the room.Â
Beside you, Minho let out a soft sigh. âI guess for now, itâs just another waiting game, huh?âÂ
âAt least our baby is okay.â Your hands kept steady around your stomach. Ever since you arrived, you didnât let go. It was the closest thing you could get to holding your baby for now. âLetâs just hope and pray it goes smoothly from this point on.âÂ
~ ~ ~Â
Sometime in the early morning, you werenât sure what went wrong. You tried to do everything right for this pregnancy. No alcohol or caffeine. You limited yourself to the exposure of germs. Hand washing became more and more frequent.Â
It all went so smoothly after the nurse administered an IV and ran medication into it. Your contractions picked up and when the option for an epidural came around, you took it. You waited and waited and waited some more.Â
Minho tried to keep you entertained. He texted everyone to let them know you were in labor. You texted your own family to give them the exciting news. You were bound to the bed after your epidural, itâs not like you could go anywhere with the lower half of your body numbed, but you were still excited.
Your hands patted your numbed thighs. Every so often, the doctor came back to check your dilation. You were progressing so well throughout the morning and she was sure you could begin pushing by noon.Â
Your kid was almost here. Nine months and a handful of days of waiting. You waited for this moment for so long. You thought about the satisfaction of giving birth in your worst moments.Â
Leaning over the toilet and projectile vomiting as your stomach twisted and turned, you held onto the thought of staring into your childâs eyes one day. When you cried over not being able to tie your shoes without help, you reminded yourself that your own kid would take their very first steps. Youâd be right there with Minho to experience it all.Â
You pouted when Minho ate something you couldnât have. He tried not to eat what you couldnât have, but he was only human. Sometimes he caved and had sushi or the occasional alcoholic drink. You couldnât blame him. If the roles were reversed, youâd indulge, too. It still hurt your heart and your sensitive hormones when it happened.Â
âPush!â The doctor instructed you. âCome on, I know it hurts, but youâve gotta keep going. I can see the head. Just a little more.âÂ
Minho couldnât feel his hand. He couldnât feel his hand ten minutes ago. If he would have known you would have destroyed it while giving birth, he would have worked out his hands with those hand cranks.Â
âI canât!â You cried out with tears in your eyes. âI canât push anymore.âÂ
âYou donât have a choice, you have to. Come on, you can do this!âÂ
Tears dripped down your cheeks. Your body had been through absolute hell for hours. The epidural began to wear off and they refused to give you another. Sweat dripped down the side of your flushed face.Â
âCome on,â Minho whispered gently. âA few more pushes and you never have to do this again.âÂ
âThis is all your fault!â You snapped angrily. âYou got me pregnant!âÂ
âI know, I know.âÂ
âPush!â The doctor instructed again.
Behind her, a handful of nurses awaited the arrival of your little one. They were already prepped with the towels and the warmer. Brightly colored scrubs and the white nasal aspirator to clear out their nose and mouth from amniotic fluid.Â
You gritted your teeth and with a cry of frustration, you began to push again. The head and shoulders were always the worst part. Your cervix sat wide open and you still thought itâd stretch and tear. If you were lucky, youâd manage to escape this without ripping down to your ass.Â
âHow fucking big is this goddamn baby?â Your eyes squeezed shut and you pushed again.Â
âI think thatâs a little offensive.âÂ
âShut the fuck up, Minho!âÂ
Between your legs, the doctor tried to stop her laughter. Kind green eyes, hair pulled back, and gloves soaked with amniotic fluid, she coached you to push again. Minhoâs hand turned white from the force of your fingers clenching around it.Â
He forced himself to take his own deep breaths. He breathed how the doctor instructed you to breathe. It was the only thing stopping him from jerking his hand away and screaming at the top of his lungs.
âI can see the head! Keep pushing! Youâre almost there! A few more and youâve got it! Come on!âÂ
âMinho?â You croaked, wrenching his hand a final time. âI donât think I can do this.âÂ
âNo, no, no. You can. You can do this. I didnât stand here and get the bones broken in my hand for nothing. Push!âÂ
Your scream bounced off the walls. It hit everyoneâs ears. The pain, the determination, and the grit that only a mother can carry. The doctorâs hands swooped in and for a brief second, the pain stopped. Your cries werenât the only one.Â
âYou did it,â Minho whispered. He leaned down, wrapped a hand around your head, and gently tucked you to his stomach. âDid you hear me? You did it.âÂ
Tears steadily streamed down your cheeks. You didnât take your eyes off your baby. Passed from doctor to nurse, the nurse rushed in to take care of the wailing and choking baby. The doctor beamed and turned back to you.Â
âItâs a boy! Youâre having a boy! Congratulations, you did an amazing job.âÂ
Minho blinked rapidly, trying not to cry. Nurses worked frantically through the cries. A tiny suction in the back of the throat and pulled out. In one nasal and then the other. He reached up and wiped his eyes before the tears could fall.Â
You, on the other hand, dread grew in your gut. A dizziness overtook you and your grip on Minhoâs hand weakened. âMinho?â You whispered.Â
âHmm?âÂ
âI donât feel very good.âÂ
The doctor caught your words and glanced up. The moment she realized the color of your face was fading, her eyes widened. âHey! I need some help over here!âÂ
Unoccupied nurses glanced back at you.Â
âSutures stat! Weâve got hemorrhaging!â She jerked her surgical mask back over her face and rushed back between your legs.Â
You didnât know what was happening, but you could feel it. Warmth flooded between your legs. It soaked the bed sheet beneath you and spread out in every direction. The doctor cursed beneath her breath and grabbed a cloth to place pressure on the bleeding.Â
âWhatâs going on?âÂ
âThe baby was larger than expected. When that happens, sometimes thereâs tearing. Stitches are going to be needed.â The doctor called your name and glanced back up at your face. âCan you hear me?âÂ
âBaby?â Minho reached up and gently tapped your cheek. âStay awake. Do you hear me? Donât close your eyes. Youâre going to be okay. Theyâre going to fix you and-âÂ
âI love you.âÂ
His heart dropped. Three little words that held so much weight. He dropped to his knees, tucking your face between his hands. âDonât you dare leave me here. Fight! Donât fall asleep!âÂ
In the distance, the baby cried louder. A nurse cooed, trying to console up as chaos broke loose in the background. Minho tapped your cheek rapidly, but your eyes drooped further and further shut.Â
âNo, no, no. Wake up. Wake up! WAKE UP! Donât leave us here!âÂ
âGet him out of here, now!âÂ
âNo!âÂ
A nurse rushed to his side. âSir, please.âÂ
âIâm not leaving!âÂ
âYou need to let the doctor work. Please, youâre only making this worse for everyone involved.âÂ
âDonât tell me what to do!âÂ
He didnât get a choice in the end. Not willingly. Another nurse appeared, a male with biceps protruding beneath his light pink scrubs. âSir, weâre not asking you, weâre telling you.âÂ
Your eyes drooped until your head slumped back against the hospital bed. A suture kit found the doctorâs hand and she began to instruct a nurse what she needed from her. Her hands worked methodically. This wasnât the first time she raced death to save a patient after giving birth.Â
He fought against the man-handling, but it was no use. All he could do was call out your name through the cries of your newborn son. Stepping outside felt like losing both of you.Â
A family of three and now possibly, back to a family of one.Â
~ ~ ~Â
Minho didnât pray. Not regularly. Not religiously. Not as much as he probably should. Life was always hectic and believing in a higher power, it never took up too much time in his life.Â
In the hospital chapel, at first, he prayed; then he called his mom.Â
She picked up on the third ring. A soft spoken voice that heâd found comfort in ever since he was a child. âMom?âÂ
âHi, honey! How is everything? Is it going well?âÂ
It broke him. Between the barren wooden pews, the stained glass windows, and the image of Jesus in the front of the altar, he burst into tears. He called out to his mother and his voice may have changed from childhood to puberty, but the need for his mother did not.Â
On the opposite end of the phone, his mother frowned. She clutched the phone tighter and tried to get through her sonâs grief. âHoney, what happened? Whatâs wrong? Youâve got to talk to me, sweetheart.âÂ
âS-she-âÂ
âDid something happen to your wife?âÂ
âHemorrhaging.âÂ
âOh, Minho.âÂ
Her words sent him into another sob that he couldnât hold back. How many times had he tried to hold back his sobs as a kid? Back when he fell off the bike for the first time and hit the pavement. When he toddled along on stubby legs and unexpectedly hit the ground with a faint thud.Â
Being a parent never ends, never fully. At least, itâs not supposed to. At the end of the day, that book always shut. Who disappears first? The parent or the child? No matter what, it always hurts.Â
A sting that zaps your heart and buries into every part of your life. It strikes you at the wrong time. The mourning for your kid. The loss of a parent. It never goes away, not really. The years travel by and the hurt lessens, but it doesnât mean it never aches.Â
At that moment, his mother wished she could climb through the phone and hug him. It didnât matter that heâd turned into a man. In her heart, heâd always be her baby. His cats were the closest thing sheâd get to being around him all the time.Â
You cannot keep your kid in a cage. You have to let them explore the world around them. Nurture them right and send them on their way. If your kid doesnât learn how to navigate the outside world, theyâll never strengthen the wings to gain flight. If you do it right, theyâll come back.Â
Like a pigeon, theyâll find their way back home. Chirping and hopping. Cooing with a new shiny thing. Stories about their career and new friends. A final love, a new family, something more that fills their heart, just the way that theyâve always filled yours.Â
âI-Iâm trying to stay positive, Mom. Iâm so scared. What if-âÂ
âI know itâs scary, but I have to believe that sheâll overcome this.âÂ
âHow do you know for sure?âÂ
âI believe it, the exact same way that I believed when your father and I had you.âÂ
~ ~ ~Â
Do not go gentle into that goodnight.Â
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Â
The memories flickered like the lash of a sudden spark. Flipping through clouded currents and forming in between static filled channels. You remember what life was like as a kid. You remember it all.Â
The bright green grass and the way the butterfly wings flapped. The melodic sound of the ice cream truck and the way a late family member laughed at the sight of your sticky face. It dripped down your chin and coated your collar.Â
The bees came by, betting on which one of them could taste the sweetness first. They never had a chance. Not when your mother whisked you away to wipe off the sticky remnants of another early summer.Â
People filled the beach at the first lake you went to. They speckled up and down the sandy shore. Umbrellas stuck out to shield the harsh sunlight. It blinded your sensitive eyes as you rushed with arms up to meet the water.Â
Your father called after you, warning you to be careful. You were still young. This much water all at once, it was still so new to you. Some unkept secret that some higher power stashed away. You remember the way the cool water hit your toes. Love grew in your bones and then you dived in.Â
A conversation in passing that you had with your mother nearly a decade ago. Sitting beside her while she folded her laundry. You didnât know where the words came from, but you blurted them out anyway. âI donât know if I want kids.âÂ
âOh, but you will. Having kids, itâs the most rewarding and best thing ever. When you have them, treat them right and theyâll always come back to you.âÂ
A familiar smile, the same eyes as you, and two decades older. I am all that you can be. You are what I could have been. Two separate generations can dream and conquer the same exact thing.Â
In the winter snow, you flopped face down. Bundled in too many layers, brought to you proudly by your mother. Because if too much skin was exposed, youâd surely freeze to death.Â
Minhoâs eyes held you captive the first time you saw him. You always romanticized the idea of dating a singer. A singer. A song-writer. A dancer.Â
Someone who jerks and throws their limbs out, creating a story in their own way. Words on a page, hidden inklings of their soul. The words unveil and pulse out into the world. A happy jingle. A devastating ballad. Whatever they sang, they always breathed life into the story behind the words.Â
You never believed in love at first sight. Not really. Not until that moment. You tipped over and free fell into a vat of sticky syrup, but you didnât fight against it. Minhoâs wit sucked you in. Every talent unlocked, you began to think he was superhuman.Â
Touching created sparks. No matter how minor, your heart banged like a drum. A never-ending current danced through your body with him. Your cheeks flushed red and even if he laughed at you, it never really mattered.Â
The two of you had something special. Special enough to make that leap of faith to the altar. Two families became one. He forced his cats to make a brief appearance in cat sized tuxedos. You didnât know why, but he did.Â
Your laughter set his soul ablaze. With you, every mountain felt like a molehill. Your joy was his. Heâd collect the stars and bottle them to help you find your way through the dark. He wasnât a collector, but he wrote down every moment with you.Â
Write the memories and trudge through the passage of time. Hand-in-hand, life felt better with you. Not just a partner, but a lover. Someone he could hold and mend. Whenever he didnât feel good enough, he just looked over at you.Â
From day one, your face never changed when you looked at him. A softness bloomed. Something sweeter, kinder, and simpler. You were his to keep forever, just as he was yours.Â
The first cry of your baby before you blacked out, the sound of your husband telling you to fight, it powered something indescribable. Humans are capable of anything if they believe hard enough. Some call it pure delusion and some call it God.Â
If there is a constant push of will, humans will always, always find a way. You found your way in that hospital room. Despite the blood oozing down the doctorâs gloves and staining the sheets, your heart kept beating. It weakened briefly, but it never stopped.Â
Do not go gentle into that good night.Â
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Â
~ ~ ~Â
When your eyes reopened, Minho was the first to grab your hand. Two tears slipped down his cheeks and rolled against the warmth of his neck. It was so unlike him, you had to look again to see if you were seeing it right.Â
âMinho?â Your voice cracked.Â
âItâs alright, Iâve got you. Youâre okay. The doctor stabilized you and itâs okay now. Donât worry, Iâm right here.âÂ
âThe baby?âÂ
âHeâs okay, too. Heâs on the other side of you sleeping. The doctor let him stay in the incubator right here. All his vitals are good. The only problem is that he lacks a name.âÂ
He slipped his hand into yours and gently squeezed it. He didnât care about the bruising around his dominant hand. All he cared about was your safety and health. He reached the back of your palm to his lips and planted the warmth of a kiss.Â
âYouâre both okay?âÂ
He weakly chuckled and nodded. âNow that youâre okay, yes. Weâre both okay. Weâve been waiting for you to come back to us. Itâs time for us to be parents now.âÂ
âMinho?â You whispered as your eyes drooped.Â
âHm?âÂ
âIâm so scared.âÂ
âIâm scared too, but thatâs okay. My mom said that itâs completely normal to be scared. If youâre scared and still trying your best, youâre probably doing it right, apparently.âÂ
âI love your mom.âÂ
âI love her, too.âÂ
A silence broke out in the space between you. Still exhausted from your brush against death, Minho couldnât blame you for wanting to go back to sleep. He reached up and pushed a strand of hair from your forehead.Â
âHave you held him?âÂ
His head shook. âI considered it, but you carried him in your stomach for nine months. I figured that you should be the first parent to hold him.âÂ
âCan you bring him to me?âÂ
âDoesnât that mean I get to be the one to hold him first?âÂ
âI donât care, I want to see our son.âÂ
He sighed and gently released your hand. âI have to warn you before I hand him over. Heâs very, very cute. He has my eyes and your eyebrows.âÂ
âDoes he have your prominent cupid's bow?âÂ
âIf I said yes?âÂ
âIâd be the happiest person alive.âÂ
âYouâll be happy to hear that he does. Heâs also completely bald and looks a little like an old man, but the nurses said thatâs temporary.âÂ
Your eyes cracked open. You watched Minho gently scoop the newborn up from the incubator. The baby curled against his chest and he carefully brought him towards you.Â
âI donât think youâre supposed to say that thought out loud.âÂ
âLook at the cute little hat. If I ask the guys, maybe they can purchase some cute beanies for his bald head. I canât have him looking like Hyunjin. This little guy is the perfect size to put in the air fryer.âÂ
âIf you air fry our son, Iâm putting you in the oven.âÂ
âFair enough.â He lowered himself down and carefully shimmied the baby into your awaiting arms. âThere you go.âÂ
The moment he settled into your arms, a wave of peace hit you. A baby in your arms and Minho by your side. Your eyes shut before you began to speak. âHi, weâre your parents.âÂ
âHe needs an introduction to us?âÂ
âWe canât wait to raise you and have adventures.âÂ
âYou came back from the dead and turned into a sap.âÂ
You narrowed your eyes at him and he gave you a smile. âIâm glad you came back. I love you, you know? I love both of you. Look at that, thereâs two of you to love now.âÂ
âI love both of you, too.âÂ
âAnd a personality like Seungmin, the ungrateful kid canât even say he loves us back.âÂ
âLee Minho, if I wasnât in a hospital bed recovering from giving birth, Iâd kick your ass.âÂ
âIâd like to see you try.âÂ
While the two of them bickered, what they didnât know was just merely a few feet away. In the doorway, Minhoâs mother arrived with a bundle of brightly colored flowers in one hand and a thermos of warm seaweed soup in the other. She rushed here as fast as she could after Minhoâs distressing phone call.Â
She didnât break the bond between the two of you. Instead, she blinked back tears. Years ago, a similar situation played out between her and Minhoâs father. A new bundle of joy in her arms and a lifetime of the unexpected paved out before them.Â
Just as they made it through the currents of life, so will Minho and you. Just as your son will. The next generation will follow and although itâll always be difficult at times, time will march on. All the good meant to happen will find you. Always.Â
Do not go gentle into that good night.Â
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Â

A movie question I wanted to throw your way: what do you think about the decision to use a decent amount of physical acting on Rickmanâs part for comic effect? Iâm thinking his snatch of thin air in Philosopher's Stone, his creeping along the table towards Ron and Harry in Chamber, his dramatic point in that same scene, his walk up to the stage for Dueling Club, his whacking students in Goblet and Order, etc.
On one hand, I feel like this does match the tone of the books; he canonically lurks and prowls and points and snatches at the air, and his menace is often undercut by a physical description thatâs meant to be some level of comedic. On the other hand, we don't see Snape nearly as much in the movies as we do in the books, so this aspect of his character seems somewhat overinflated by the movies?
TLDR I donât think these decisions in the movie were completely out of left field, but it also feels off for some reason. Idk I donât know how exactly to verbalize my feelings on the matter and wanted to hear your thoughts!
It will probably come as no surprise that I feel like any answer to this question is inseparable from the absolute hatchet jobs that are Steve Kloves' screenplays for the HP franchise. This reply is going to end up inevitably long (you ask me about my favorite subject, you suffer the consequences), but all of it is ultimately framed by the problem of having to make the best of a badly written script. (**edit: This post is way too long. Run away. Don't look back.)
The writing doesn't support the story
The first thing that jumps out to me is that there's a separation between where and how these comedic moments are used, up until the end of GoF and after. They're more a part of the story only until Harry's story arc reaches the point of Cedric's death, when he first witnesses death in the way that allows him to see thestrals after. GoF is when the story takes its first dark turn, and up until then the tone and story is much more in line with children's literature, so it makes more sense that Snape is portrayed in a bit of a playful way. After GoF - even though the films reveal it as an aside and much later than the original story does - Snape resumes his role as spy and becomes more integral to the story as a key character and is thus no longer just a foil in a children's story. I think what doesn't work about it is the inconsistency. The books have comedic moments with Snape too, which are cartoonish, up until the end of DH - I feel those are also out of place, but at least their existence gives a basis to what's done in the films.
Nevertheless, one of the biggest problems with the films is that they're badly edited. I'll leave that analysis for another post (you're welcome), but essentially these comedic moments feel inconsistent in part because there's often a disconnect between the performance a director has asked of his actors and the tone that's established in the editing room once pacing and a soundtrack are added. Any vision a director had for these films was muddled by the involvement of big studio producers and limitations. This is made more jarring by the way that Kloves has interjected light, funny moments in awkward ways throughout the scripts. He struggles overall to convey the world that Rowling has created, and if it weren't for the brilliant production design of Stuart Craig, Kloves' failures would be much more obvious (again, worthy of its own roast post).
Take the scene where Snape whacks Harry and Ron on the head in Gof: why are the students all studying in the Great Hall? Why are various years sitting together? Why is Snape overseeing them? It's a scene almost verbatim out of the book (Fred asks Angelina to the ball casually, he and George tell Ron and Harry to get dates "before all the good ones are gone," we find out Hermione already has a date), but like pretty much every scene that originally takes place in the Gryffindor common room, this one is moved to another location for no discernible reason. The main difference in the change is how restrictive it is: in the common room the children are free to be themselves, but in the Great Hall, under a strict teacher's nose, they have to be quiet and restrained. Another subject that would need its own post is the myriad of ways Kloves goes out of his way to rewrite settings and characters to avoid allowing them to express themselves or grow as characters, and how hard he works to stifle and limit them in ways that are convoluted and work against the story, as if he himself couldn't deal with any kind of emotional vulnerability (in a way, his scripts are a desperate cry for help). This directly contributes to why so many of Snape's comedic moments feel off.
The changes in the scene in GoF don't even make sense from a production perspective, as they required more actors, more lighting, and more setups. Instead of using the cozy setting of the common room to establish camaraderie between the students, Kloves replaced that energy and lightheartedness with Snape in a way that's uncharacteristic. The scene, as he wrote it, is already light and has humor, but Kloves doesn't trust it - he feels the need to exaggerate it and the casualties, as always, are the characters and their portrayal. It's as though he's following a formula and saying, "this page number/scene number must provide relief from the tension of the story" and then doesn't consider how following that directive fits into the rhythm of the narrative. It's closer to being an isolated scene akin to a comedy sketch than to a scene that's part of an act that's part of a film. It's worth noting that, in GoF, Kloves interjects this scene as if he's forcing this moment of comic relief into a story that didn't require it and then relies on playing off of Snape's usual seriousness as its crux. In OOtP, when there's a callback to it as Snape smacks Ron with a book again, it's no longer the point of the scene, but an aside in a comical montage focused on Umbridge (OOtP was also the only film not written by Kloves, so this moment is more likely the result of Michael Goldenberg trying to maintain a consistency with Kloves' work). Overall, I think that feeling of something being off is, again, more rooted in the writing than the performance.
Rickman as an actor playing Snape
There's a lot of criticism in the Snapedom of how Alan Rickman portrays Snape, but not enough acknowledgment that none of the characters are portrayed well, and most of it comes down to Kloves' writing of them. Book!McGonagall insists that all students under 17 are evacuated before the Battle of Hogwarts, where Movie!McGonagall only cares that the Slytherin students are locked in the dungeon, everyone else can stay, what does she care if first years die? Book!Hermione is intelligent and empathetic while Movie!Hermione is a two dimensional maternalistic harpy whose main job is to be a mouthpiece for plot exposition. Book!Ron is funny and brave and fiercely loyal, while Movie!Ron throws Hermione under the bus, is cowardly, and is reduced to a flatly written sidekick. Book!Harry is complex and while I could list a million examples, I'll stick to this one: in PoA when he finds out Sirius betrayed his parents, he's enraged but has no reply when asked if he'd want to kill Sirius. Movie!Harry says with conviction, and without prompting, that he wants to find Sirius with the explicit purpose of killing him. Every single character takes a hit because of how Steve Kloves writes them, and Snape is, sadly, no exception.
While some film shoots allow for improvisation, a big budget production on a tight schedule with scenes that require a lot of prep work can't afford to make many changes. So, for example, while Ralph Fiennes was asked to improvise his scene as Voldemort at the end of DH2 when he re-enters Hogwarts victorious (and that's why the dialogue is redundant and that weird hug with Draco continues to plague us), it could be done because the wardrobe and set and cast were already in place and the time required had already been scheduled in. It wouldn't be possible, though, to add an additional scene - like Snape going feral in the hospital wing at the end of PoA - unless it was written into the script. Additional actors would be required, which would mean coordinating with their schedules and adding them to the budget, not to mention scheduling in additional days with the crew who may already have other work lined up. It would require either pushing every other shooting day back - which is near impossible - in order to use the hospital wing set while it's still up, or tacking on production days to the end of the shooting schedule and rebuilding the set on those days. This can be done for necessary pickups that round out existing scenes, but you can't really say, "hey I decided we need a scene here that didn't exist before" without causing huge problems. Because of how contracts work, any significant scene changes would have to be sent back to Kloves who would have to write alternate scenes and/or dialogue, and even then if you wanted to fix a specific character's arc - like Snape's - you would have to add in so much that it just wouldn't be feasible. Screenplay lengths have to fall within a certain number of pages, because each page is approximately a minute of screen time, so adding a few more to a finished script mid-production is very difficult. The actors have to make the best of what's on the page. Which brings us to Alan Rickman, his choices as an actor, and what informed both him and the character of Snape.
Alan Rickman was a RADA trained actor, so his approach to a character involved a lot of physical work as well as character analysis. As far as I know, he was the only actor to contact JK Rowling directly to ask about his character, because he wanted to make an informed decision about how to play him since Snape was so nuanced and gray. Unlike some of the other actors (like Michael "DIDYAPUTYANAMEINDAGOBLETOFFIYAH" Gambon) Rickman read the books - those that were available when he took on the role, and each as they came out afterwards - and used them to inform his understanding of his character beyond what Kloves wrote (presumably in crayon with all the e's backwards). In interviews and Q&A's it's clear Rickman was fond of the HP books and story, and had a thoughtful process taking on Snape's character. He did not see him as a villain, because, as he's said, he didn't approach characters with that kind of judgment. And while I'm sure the egregious amounts of cash Warner Brothers threw at the actors was inevitably a factor for all of them, several of the ones playing teachers or other adults have said that they took on their role because a child in their life insisted on it, despite them being unfamiliar with the books, whereas Rickman's process was to read Rowling's books in order to decide whether to take the role. Again, he was a RADA trained actor, and thus had a meticulous approach to his work that followed a thoughtful, considered process and a decision based on whether he felt he could embody a character in a way that did them justice/if they were interesting enough to him. By the time he started shooting PS, he also had experience directing a film and was working as a director in theatre as well as still acting, so he understood the process from the perspective of not just an actor, but also as someone behind the camera, someone working with actors both as a peer and director, and someone sitting in an editing room.
We know from his diaries that he became increasingly frustrated with how his own process and expectations clashed with that of the producers on Harry Potter. He wasn't interested in renewing his contract after the first few films (goodness knows how much money they offered him in the end - his wife has said that he never let anyone else pick up a tab in a restaurant and if they argued, he would just say "Harry Potter."). He writes about seeing the films at premieres and being frustrated with how little story and development there is (especially for Snape), which makes me think there are deleted scenes somewhere that haven't been released. At one point he writes about a premiere party where he had internally lost patience with the three Davids (Yates, Heyman, and Barron). It's obvious that there's a discord between the work he wanted to do with Snape's character and what choices the production made:
He describes how, during the filming of the Yule Ball scene in GoF, there was an attempt to get him to dance but he refused because he didn't think Snape would dance:
It was a rare moment of potential for improvisation because, again, the set and cast and timing were already accounted for, and in this case there wasn't even dialogue. The scene where he smacks the boys with the notebook - as far as I know - was scripted. So there's a difference there in how much freedom he had, as an actor, to say no to what he was asked to do. Even in the above diary entry it's clear that, given his way, he felt the character wouldn't even be present in that scene, but he had no choice. This tells me that when he had more freedom to make choices, he did so based on his understanding of Snape as a character and, given that he was an actor who was both very respected (and got away with more than most) and also someone who could get argumentative about his character choices, I think this is the most apt lens to examine his physical work with Snape through.
Knowing that he wasn't interested in continuing the role of Snape after the first couple of films and that he was often frustrated with the lack of characterization and story arc, his physicality in his first scene in CoS (when he reprimands Harry and Ron for flying the car) says a lot. (Caveat that one of the reasons he didn't want to renew his contract was that the shooting schedule restricted his schedule and he wanted work on other projects, but I can't help but wonder if that had been the case had HP provided a more satisfying process.) It's almost certain that he had read all the available books by the time the scene in CoS was filmed, including PoA where Snape becomes apoplectic with rage in a way that, to a child reader, is comical (and intended to be) and to someone analyzing Snape is clearly rooted in triggered trauma.
Alan Rickman knew from the outset that Snape's motivation was his love for Lily, so he would have understood the dynamic between his character and Sirius re: who Snape thought sold Lily out to Voldemort. He would also have understood that Snape's reaction in PoA was more about distress and anxiety, and that this was connected to the promise Snape had made to protect Harry for Lily's sake. This would have therefore informed his portrayal of Snape's anger at Harry in CoS, and it's reasonable to assume that Rickman was trying to walk the line between the way Rowling portrayed Snape in full unhinged rage in PoA, what this tells him about this character when angered, and the connection between the moments in PoA and CoS when it comes to Snape's anxiety over Harry's safety. Unlike the author of a book however, who has full control of how they tell a story, Rickman was an actor in a film - an inevitably collaborative medium which therefore made his portrayal reliant on the decisions of others as well.
Chris Columbus, the HP movies, and feral Snape
PS and CoS were directed by Chris Columbus, the guy who directed both Home Alone and Home Alone II and Mrs. Doubtfire. He was a successful director from the 90s tradition of children's movies whose sensibility was informed by the era's attitude towards children's media: kids wanting to see themselves in narratives, in ways that felt empowering and allowed them to process the confusion of a world run by adults in playful, quasi-cartoonish ways within a 3 act structure where the villains - mean adults - get their comeuppance because it feels fair. One thing that set Harry Potter apart was that the villain was not the mean adult; Snape, the mean adult, is a character kids can hate and project their own experiences onto, but Voldemort is a true villain who represents evil and is vanquished by the hero. Chris Columbus established a tone for the first two films that was no longer apt by PoA, not only because it didn't work for the story, but because that 90s era of children's movies had ended and the culture moved on to more complex narratives (and Columbus has focused more on producing than directing since, because his style doesn't work for audiences anymore).
What's ironic about the way Snape's scene at the start of CoS comes off is that, in the book, there's a great comedic moment that's left out:
This is cut from the film, and instead it's Filch waiting at the top of the marble stairs who catches Ron and Harry being late and delivers them to Snape (I don't know why, the scene in the book is much more dynamic and would have taken up about as much time on screen). Rickman, meanwhile, is using the information he's gotten on who Snape is from the books, and imbuing some of that feral Snape energy into his portrayal of a Snape who is genuinely angry:
(Thank you for making these gifs @smilingformoney , they are truly the gift that keeps on giving.)
The thing is, no matter how much of feral Snape Rickman brought to this, no matter how menacing his performance is, this moment still lives within the dynamics of a Chris Columbus children's film. It gets cut off by Dumbledore's entrance - meant to be a comeuppance for Snape, since Dumbledore (being the voice of wisdom and fairness in this world) prevents him from punishing Harry and Ron (you know what, at least in the books they got detention, but ok). Despite Rickman's performance, Columbus as a director has framed this scene in the same context as the one Kloves cut. The tension is brief, and the focus is on Snape being foiled, because it's what children want to see - a mean adult experiencing consequences. It's down to the editing and soundtrack, choices Columbus made in the editing room. In addition, we don't know how many different ways an actor tries a scene, only what ends up in the final cut of a film. The process of the work done on a set is often much richer and more diverse than what an audience sees in the finished film.
Tbh I think this is also why Snape's feral moments were cut from PoA: it's a darker film, but had to straddle the line between being for both children and tweens and not getting too playful, nor too intense. As much as I want to see feral Snape on screen, it's extremely difficult to make work in a narrative that is about Harry and his friends. It either skews too intense, making the audience uncomfortable because seeing an adult becoming unhinged and in pain is difficult and frightening for most young people, even adults, and would therefore take away from Harry's goals and narrative as well as his changing relationship to Sirius (all of which is already barely supported by Kloves' writing). Alternately, it could also skew too comical and over the top, which takes the audience out of the tension of the film's climactic moments.
If Snape's story had gotten more focus and screen time, an unhinged moment would be better justified because the audience would have been more invested in the character and their arc. PoA sidesteps pretty much all of the most compelling parts of the book, which is the realization that Harry is not only connected to Sirius personally, but that his dad, Sirius, Lupin, and Pettigrew created the Marauders Map, that they were animagi, that Harry's patronus takes the form of his father's stag, and that Snape was initimately connected to all of them as well. For me, reading the end of PoA was what cemented Snape as someone who would be crucial to the narrative and whose role would increase as the series went on. As a result of Kloves skimming over these essential plot twists, Snape is a minor character in the film, showing up mostly as a foil who tries to expose Lupin and then catches him and Black in the Shrieking Shack (this also sets his character up to be minimized in every film down the line, which has a worsening impact as Snape becomes increasingly integral to the plot).
One thing I find interesting is that Snape's comical physicality changes over the films. In PS and CoS he's menacing, a looming, larger than life figure the children fear and easily assume to be a full-fledged villain. By GoF there's a relationship embedded in how he interacts with Harry and his friends. He's no longer terrifying, just intimidating, more of an adult Harry challenges than someone he must defeat. The comedic effect now comes from a rapport within an established dynamic between characters. By HBP, the only comical moment is at Slughorn's party, and it's no longer Rickman who uses physicality - the action happens around him, and the comedic effect is in his lack of reaction to any of it. In other words, he's no longer the comic one, he's become the straight man in a (badly written) comedy sketch (with abysmal timing, what even).
Ultimately, as with most of the characters in the HP films, Snape is undermined by the writing. Rickman was stuck working within the confines he was given. No matter how well he may have understood the character, the limited screen time and character development were always going to stifle how Snape was portrayed on screen. I'm very much pro Let Snape Be Feral but I also don't fault Rickman in how little we saw of that.
How Feral is Snape?
If I'm honest, I feel like the Snapedom has taken the Let Snape Be Feral thing and has started forgetting that he wasn't all-feral-all-the-time. The point of Feral Snape is that it's a heightened state of tension in a character whose trauma is being triggered. Apoplectic Snape wouldn't have an impact at the end of PoA if that was his usual way of being. And, as you so brilliantly showed @said-snape-softly Snape's speech patterns are primarily quiet and controlled, his speech gets softer the more dangerous his mood, and it's only after he reassumes his role as a spy that the description of his speech becomes increasingly volatile (but is still controlled). Feral Snape's definitive aspect is the lack of control shown by a character who usually is so exceptionally capable of self restraint and compartmentalization. So again, while I would have loved to see Feral Snape on screen, I think it's also important to acknowledge that this is not the defining feature of his character and is more about what those moments mean to his arc. Their absence is primarily due to poor writing that didn't create space for them (including what leads up to them), and the direction that didn't carve out any kind of niche for them, not Rickman's choices as an actor.
In fact, Snape as a character is defined by descriptors of his voice more than any other character by far. I have my own theory about why this is, and it has to do with Alan Rickman being inextricably connected with how Snape is written. Chris Columbus said that Alan Rickman was always Snape as far as he was concerned, because when JK Rowling showed him a sketch of Snape she had made, it looked exactly like Rickman. I don't think this is accidental.
Alan Rickman was always intended to be Snape
First, what's important to remember is that before Harry Potter, Alan Rickman was best known in the 90s for playing both villains and sad romantic leads. His signature defining feature was his voice. I think it was Ang Lee who described the casting choice of Greg Wise and Alan Rickman in Sense and Sensibility as wanting Willoughby (Wise) to be dashing and Brandon (Rickman) to be sexy (if this was Emma Thompson and not Ang Lee, my apologies, I can't remember where I read this and can't find the source). This is how Rickman was perceived by audiences up until Harry Potter. And I know a lot of the Snapedom considers him to be sexy as Snape too, but the general audiences of the films don't, so please don't @ me, I'm just setting up a point here.
This is relevant because, as we find out in the end of the books, Rowling wrote Snape's motivations to be rooted in romantic love (I'm very nobly putting aside, for the sake of focusing on Rowling's intentions, my personal interpretation that Snape's feelings for Lily were platonic, please acknowledge how brave I am for this). She pulls a lot from gothic tropes into how he's written, and as much as she's talked about the character having been inspired by a chemistry teacher she disliked, and as much as she's talked about Snape being both morally grey and someone she personally dislikes, she also romanticized him. Between this and what Chris Columbus said about her sketch of him, it's hard for me to ignore that this character, conceived of in the 90s, wasn't written with Alan Rickman in mind from the beginning, especially since Rowling herself has said that she envisioned him in the role. Whether or not he lived up to Rowling's imagination is, frankly, his choice and Rowling's problem.
The story of how Harry Potter was written according to JK Rowling is that it started with the idea coming to her on a train ride in 1990. She completed the PS manuscript in 1995. While everything I'm about to say is absolute conjecture, I can't help but wonder at the connection between these films and the way Snape was written (spoilers ahead, no regrets, these films have been out for over a quarter of a century - forgive my reviews, I can't help myself):
1988: Die Hard comes out. Alan Rickman plays Hans Gruber, a villain who is a genius, composed, controlled, and soft-spoken. (Great film, a classic, the only valid Christmas movie.)
1990: Truly, Madly, Deeply. Rickman plays a man whose wife can't get over his tragic death, nor can his own ghost, who comes back to spend more time with her. No one else can see him, and they can't really share a life anymore. She eventually lets him go as she realizes that his spirit doesn't belong in the mortal world and her own life can't move on as long as she clings to it. (Beautiful film, will break your heart and put it through a shredder.)
1991: Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves. Rickman is the Sheriff of Nottingham, an unhinged, feral villain who wears all black complete with billowing cape. (Terrible film, disaster of a period piece, Rickman's performance is the only redeeming thing about it. Halfway through its press tour talk shows started booking Rickman instead of the lead, Kevin Costner, because Rickman stole every scene.)
1995: An Awfully Big Adventure. Rickman is an actor who comes back to his hometown to revive his role as Captain Hook in a local theatre production of Peter Pan. In the process he has an affair with a young ginger stagehand who reminds him of his lost love, a vivacious woman named Stella with bright red hair who, as far as he knows, birthed his child - a son - before she died. It turns out the girl he has an affair with is his daughter, which he realizes when he visits her home where she lives in the care of her aunt and uncle - whose name is Vernon - and connects the dots of who this girl's mother was. (He then rides his motorcycle out to the pier, screams "Stella" at the heavens like he's in a revival production of Streetcar Named Desire, trips and hits his head on the edge of the pier and falls into the water, drowning. I can't make this up. Mike Newell directed this. The same guy who directed GoF. As if following in the vein of the 90s movie obsession with incest as the controversial-trope-du-jour wasn't enough. I don't even need to review this, just sum it up.)
1995: Sense and Sensibility. Rickman plays Colonel Brandon, a forlorn, grieving man who lost his first love at a young age and spends most of the film pining for the only other woman he's ever had a romantic interest in. Wears all black, rides a black horse.
Given what a well-known actor Rickman was in the 90s - especially in England - and how connected his characters all seem to be to various aspects of Snape, it's hard not to see a connection. The entire premise of Truly, Madly, Deeply sounds like the inspiration for the Resurrection Stone in Deathly Hallows. The redheaded lost love whose child is left in the care of an Uncle Vernon in An Awfully Big Adventure is difficult to look past. All of these characters either exude menacingly soft-spoken Snape energy, feral Snape energy, or forlorn because of his lost love Snape energy. As a result, I feel like it's almost inevitable that Rickman inspired Snape, especially when you consider how known he was for his voice and how frequently Snape's voice is used to describe him. When Rowling said that she envisioned him in the role, it makes me wonder if she meant during the casting process for the first film, or well before it. I think his previous roles were a contributing factor in how the character was written in the books. After Tim Roth - who was originally cast in the role - had to back out due to scheduling conflicts, she got her way. Authors don't often get to choose who plays their characters, but in this case it worked out as the production thought Rickman was a good fit as well.
I'm done, I promise
So where does this leave things at the end of this horrendously long post? Rickman's choices of how he physicalized Snape - comedic or not - are only part of a larger whole. He was playing a character who was written based on his other roles, and limited by the shortcomings of how Steve Kloves translated that character from Rowling's books into his own screenplays. Whatever Rickman did on set was limited by that writing, by the directors he worked with, and by the choices made in the editing room.
I'm fascinated by the idea that Rickman was playing a character written with him in mind - but not really him, the him who embodied other characters whose echoes show up in Snape. It's difficult enough to contend with an actor playing a character in a screenplay you wrote with them in mind when you're directing your own script, because they'll never be what you imagined in your head. But for that process to get filtered through several directors, a team of producers, another writer who changes your work, and an editor, let alone throughout a decade of films - that's downright wild. The original intention gets lost and reinterpreted like a game of telephone, and I think that a lot of the consistencies between Movie!Snape and Book!Snape are down to Alan Rickman's nuanced and generous nature as an actor. If I'm honest, I'm not convinced that every Snape moment that comes off comical was meant to be so by Rickman. But again, film is such a collaborative medium that his intentions aren't the only ones that matter, ultimately, at least they aren't the only thing that ends up in the final cut.
My take, personally, is that I'm more interested in critical analysis than personal criticism. I respect that everyone has their own vision of a character and fandom is absolutely here for, among other things, having a place to share those thoughts and feelings. But a character is rarely going to appear on screen the same way you see them in your head, and that's not always going to be a fault, even if it's a disappointment to you. It's interesting to hear different people's perceptions, but there isn't that much to discuss there - you can't refute how someone feels, and you can't argue that their truth is what it is, to them. Whereas with critical analysis there's a lot more to talk about and examine, so it's where my own interest is much more invested.

⥠TOJI FUSHIGURO - When life gives youâŚ
Dammit, Toji knew he shouldâve looked over your shopping list closer. He knew he shouldâve spent just a little longer at the convenience store searching for that special brand the two of you always used - the only one that could fit his massive size - instead of rushing home like a madman to fuck you sloppily into your silken sheets.
He knew.Â
But, well, feeling that thin excuse of rubber that was once coating his achy cock snap open - crashing his raw, leaky tip right against the bottom of your syrupy pussy, bruising - he certainly didnât have any regrets either.Â
âWhoops.â you hear Tojiâs ragged, unapologetic huff against your ear. Lips quirking up into a smirk when youâre looking up at him in question with those cockdrunk eyes of yours. âBroke the condom again.â he explains.Â
And as if to confirm, heâs sliding a calloused palm right down to the bulging area of your slit, sliding his eager fingers along the edge of that glossy piece of tattered rubber, âNow what do you suppose we do about that, ma?â
What?
And itâs all you can do to whirl your glassy gaze down at where he was already admiring. The sinful sight of your ravaged pussy winking lewdly up at you - puffy lips spread to bulge about his angry, red cock. Beading a sheen of your sweet sweet juices down his length, being swallowed up greedily. His raw length.Â
âTojiââ you hiss, digging the balls of your heels at those dimples down the bottom of his spine, making him hiss in delight. âYou bought the wrong ngh- brand of condoms? Again? This is the fifth time this week.â
And oh he found it so cute when youâre mad at him like this, pretending like your absolute slut of a cunt didnât just get wetter at the feeling of his cock throbbing against your walls. Milking him so good that he canât help but let his addicted hips move in lingering thrusts, jamming into your g-spot over and over like a little apology.Â
Heâs humming, âAccident- ouch!âÂ
The thick head of his cock pulses even deeper inside you when you give his muscled pecs a bratty smack. âFine fine- I may have uh- rushed jusâ a bit.â As if to wipe away that tiny bit of guilt in his words, Tojiâs hips are thrashing harder into you, merciless. âBut heyyyyââ he leans down to drag his lips against your own in a messy kiss. âYâknow what they say, when ngh- l-life gives you the wrong pack of condoms, give her a creampie.â
You narrow your eyes, âY-youâre such a-â
But within a millisecond, heâs dragging his swollen cock out of your snug cunt - barely, just enough to pull off those flimsy dredges of whatever was left of his condom after those bullying thrusts heâd been planting on your poor pussy.Â
âIâm jusâ being resourceful, womanâ Toji chokes out when you bite down on his collarbone at the audacity. Before plowing on, words dripping with faux-apology, âAhhh what to do, such a shame I forgot to get the r-right condoms. Whatever shall we do, ma?â
Before diving straight back into your heavenly entrance, purposefully taking his time to rub against every hidden nook and cranny of your walls. Toji throws his head back, defined abs bowing into you, âI know. How about this time insteada pulling out, you finally let me cum inside?â
And you knew Toji had such a mean cock, and fucked you even meaner. But fuck this was ridiculous.Â
âNgh- T-Toji!â youâre keening with every heavy smack of his balls against your stinging ass, being rocked further and further up the drenched mattress with the force of his sharp jabs. âYouâre lucky you feel too ngh- good this way.â
âHeh, see? What did I tell ya? Now fuckinâ come-â Thick fingers wrap around your hips, pulling your back down, down, down - deep to spearhead his cock into your sweet spots. â-here-â Rendering you unable to escape, unable to do anything but be splayed out like such a slut while heâs molding your cunt to the shape of his length. Frenzied. Crazed. The complete opposite of the smugly gentle kisses he presses to your teary cheeks, â-and take my actual cock like a good girl, doll. Lemme make you a mama.â
The thought has you letting out such pitiful whimpers, thighs quivering. âHah- mâgonna cum. Mâso close, Toji-â
Gripping him so tight you could feel the outline of his prominent veins, the sensitive spots along his shaft. Tojiâs brows furrow in concentration, letting out a sultry drawl of words, âYeah? Is this pretty pussy gonna cum?â He reaches down to toy a long index around your neglected clit, sending your eyes rolling back with a moan. âGonna be stuffed full of my seed like sheâs supposed to?â
You can only get out a few bleary nods, and usually Toji would tease you a little more - have you begging and crying. But right now heâs so fucked.Â
The feeling of your squeezing walls too tight, the crashing of his sensitive tip against your spongy g-spot too much that the only thing he can grit out is a low, âThen cum- cum fâme, doll.â
 He feels it before you realize youâre cumming, just running on wave upon wave of pure electricity running down your spine while Toji ruts into you so animalistically. Reeling back only for a few sloppy, solid half-thrusts - because you couldnât bear to separate too much from your cunt - before spilling into you.
And - oh, he was only mad he didnât do this sooner.
âOh this is the stuff- fuuuuck this- is- what I needed- take it.â Thick rope upon rope of his hot cum, decorating your saturated walls. So much that it was gushing out of you with each pump of Tojiâs hips fucking it deeper inside you - the thought of pulling out not even daring to cross his mind. Oozing. Messy. âTake it all. Make me a daddy again, why donât ya.â
After all, he did pick the wrong brand for a reason, right?
⥠NANAMI KENTO - Family matters!
The office can be loud - given, itâs hours past everyoneâs shift and you and Nanami were the only ones cooped up in his office working overtime right now.Â
But still, the office can be loud - which is why Nanami Kento isnât exactly sure he hears you correctly the first time. Not until you keep looking at him with that sultry, determined graze, spit-glossed lips moving to repeat, âI want a baby, Ken.â
It only takes three seconds for him to lock the door and shove you against the cool mahogany of his desk, bunching up that cute pencil skirt of yours at the waist. Which, Nanami thinks, unbuckling his expensive pants to swipe his angry tip between your slobbering slit, is three seconds too late in his opinion.
âYou really wanâ me to disrespect your cute cunt this way, my pretty lilâ wife?â heâs purring into your ear, just a soft reassurance before he absolutely fucking ruins you. âBecause mânot going hah- easy on you this time.â
And maybe youâre a genius, maybe youâre an idiot who doesnât know whatâs good for her - because you flash him a grin, âSo are ya gonna fuck me or not?â
Soon enough, that grin was turning into your jaw sagging open lewdly, drool trickling down the corner of your lips with every bullying squeeze of Nanamiâs massive cock inside you. Stretching out every inch of your gummy walls around his swollen girth.Â
âOh Godââ youâre moaning, eyes rolling to the back of your head with each harsh ram. Wiggling hips mindlessly torn between running away and fucking yourself back onto your husbandâs bludgeoning cock for more.Â
Heâs shutting you up with a gentle suck on your candied lips, humming into the kiss, âJusâ âKenâ works fine, my love.â
And it takes you a few seconds to register his remark - a few, dizzying seconds of being spearheaded by Nanamiâs fat tip. Roaming, heavy balls smacking the fat of your ass when he angles his hips just right to ruthlessly kiss against that one sweet spot he knows you love so much. Swirling his furious tip around to find-
âOh fuck!â
There.
Merciless. Nanami Kento is absolutely merciless.Â
And all you can do is scramble your jittery fingers towards his desk, his forgotten work documents, him - your body is moving before your heated mind when you reach behind to drag Nanami in closer by his yellow, speckled tie.Â
All the way until his plump lips were mere millimeters away from yours, âI actually think âdaddyâ would work better, no?â
Oh. Oh, fuck.
He was completely and utterly fucked.Â
It takes the both of you by surprise when a large hand comes up to your neck, thick fingers squeezing hard around your pretty throat. The cold metal of Nanamiâs wedding ring burning into your skin when he shuts up those filthy words of yours.Â
âKen-â
âShut up. Sh-shut up, darling Iâm- fuck Iâm-â is all Nanamiâs able to stutter out before his hips grow sloppy. And you could feel the way his twitching cock massaged at your plushy walls, the wet sounds of skin-and-skin becoming more and more languid before-
Nanami doesnât think heâs ever cum this embarrassingly fast in his life. Never did it only take him a few more mean, calculated thrusts into your heavenly cunt until heâs spurting thick wisps of his seed. Coating your poor pussy in a sheen of his cum - of him.Â
He whimpers, bending his long legs at the knees to grind up deeper into your, feeling the warm slosh of his own seed inside.Â
âFuck Kenââ you wheeze, throat raw from the unforgiving hand still around it. Vision spotty and you feel like floating - or maybe thatâs just the way Nanami had you lifting off the ground with each relentless ram. âGonna be the ngh- fuckinâ death of me.â
âHah, youâre gonna be the hngh- death of me.â he groans, free hand coming up to slide his glasses further up his nose. Shit, if Nanami angled his head just right he could see that sinful, sinful trail of cum down your legs. Glistening under the dim office lighting, forming a little pool right at that crevice between your thigh. âYeah oh fuck- mânot getting out of this alive. Not with you, darling.â
And oh you shouldâve known. Shouldâve had an inkling at the way Nanami was still achingly rock-hard between your legs. At the way he innocently grazes a thumb across your sloppy hole, pooling the heady mix of cum and slick on the pads of his fingers - before shoving them right back in. Skirting around that depraved shaft of his to squeeze whatever dredges of seed he could get his hands on back inside you.
It was making such a mess - with each bullying pump of Nanamiâs fingers at your dripping cunt, cum was gushing out of your wrecked hole. Slow, and torturous.Â
Exactly the way he was moving back inside of you now, reeling his toned hips back to smash right into your sweet spots. Dragging that orgasm out of you - out of him, âGotta make sure it takes, right?â
Suddenly, you have the feeling that itâs going to be a long, long night working overtime.
⥠GETO SUGURU - The egoist
âCâmon, gorgeous.â that low, satiny purr has your cunt quivering traitorously. âYouâre really gonna hold out on me like this?â
It takes every bit of willpower in you to tear your eyes from the absolutely sinful sight below you - because Geto Suguru was so unfairly pretty - even with his wrists tied helplessly below you to the bedposts. So delicately flushed a cute pink from his high cheekbones, right down to his thick, sobbing tip. Looking up at you through half-lidded, glassy eyes, peeking from under his long hair.Â
Hair you thread through to gather in a harsh grip, âMhm, Sugu, if youâre gonna be so cocky when mâletting you cum inside me then I jusâ hafta- ngh!â
Your foolish little threat is dying in your chest when your beloved boyfriend is wrenching his hips up. Having you teetering precariously, clinging onto his sculpted abs when he uses them to fuck his cock up into you slobbering cunt.Â
âHah!â his dark eyes widen in delight at the sight of how readily your slutty cunt was making way for him. Puffy folds being split apart to swallow every fucking inch he gives. âJust look at what a filthy lilâ cunt you have, my girl. So needy despite all your talk.â
âTh-thatâs cheating.â you tug on his soft silky restraints. Eyeing the way they were firmly digging into his milky skin. âMaybe I ah- wonât- let you-â
Another ragged jut of his hips, the thick curve of Getoâs swollen cock spearing into you, pulsing against your sensitive spots until you couldnât think. Heâs gasping, âNo!â Letting out such a pained grunt when your spongy walls cling onto him like a second skin. âNo no no no- jusâ fuck mâgonna have you begging for my cum.â
And if Geto had his hands untied you just knew heâd be gifting your sobbing cunt a punishing smack! So thatâs exactly what you do - letting out such a teasing whine of his name when you slap the pads of your fingers down across your sopping slit. Stopping right below your clit - exactly the way he does.
âStill real cocky, arenât you?â you purr, so sultry and low, sending a fresh wave of precum painting at your bruised cervix.Â
âFuuuck- you little minx. This wonât- ngh-â he hisses. âYouâre gonna fuckinâ regret holdinâ out on me.â
There it was again - that little accusation. The same little mantra thatâd been falling from Getoâs glossed-over lips ever since you tied his wrists together and straddled him after a few too many goading comments on how you wonât be able to âhandle himâ if he came inside.
Scoffing, âYeah yeah thatâs what a sore loser-â
Fuck, it seems heâs well and fully intent to not have you run your pretty mouth.Â
Pushing past your feeble little ring of resistance to draw at your honeyed walls. Running his angry tip along each and every sweet spot heâd so meticulously mapped out before.
âI warned you, gorgeous.â His breaths are wrenching out so strained, low groans leaving him with how your plushy walls were trying to suck out something delicious. âWarned you it was- ngh was gonna be too much. And now look at you.â Heâs chuckling, so utterly unapologetic. âFucked dumb and taking my cock like the slut you are. Howâd you feel about that, huh?â
Itâs so embarrassing.Â
Embarrassing how good you were feeling, stars behind your eyes every time Geto is smashing deep into your core. Embarrassing how you can barely even hold yourself up at this point, instead collapsing right into the valley between Getoâs pecs, lips drooling with need.Â
Embarrassing how you canât even answer his question.
And this is what makes him smile - full and content. Craning his head down to kiss softly at your slack lips, âThatâs what I thought. Now beg for it, beg for my cum.â
âWh-what?â you snap your eyes open. Moaning lowly at the drag and pull of his fat shaft, stretching out your narrow channel with each ram of his hips. Angling your boneless body just right for those tufts of black at his toned base to rub against your clit so obscenely.Â
âYou hear me. Or you canât hear as well as- ngh- speak now, huh? Beg for it.â
âNo.â
Geto falters his hips slowly at this, âBeg for it.â
âNo.â
Of course, this only makes him stop completely. Rolling his eyes in such a languid way at your clear disappointment, âThen fuck me yourself if you wanna be so mouthy.â
The result is - for Geto - the hottest fucking thing heâs ever seen. With you whining, tears springing to your eyes as you try to ride him as best you could. Yearning, craving for those bullying thrusts heâd been planting on your sweet spots. Ass jiggling when it smacks against his pelvis lazily, hips stuttering up and down his veiny cock, weeping your needy juices as you sob, âNo- please I take t- ngh- back. I want your cum, Sugu. Please?â
âThatâs more like it.â
And no sooner are the words out of your lips before Getoâs thrusting up into you haphazardly. Brows furrowed, abs screaming with the strain of just how hard he was pounding you. Again. And again - more to teach you a lesson, more to drive the two of you insane. Again and again and-
It only takes a few more of those lingering, ruthless kisses of Getoâs leaky tip against your g-spot for the two of you to be cumming.Â
Your gummy walls convulsing, sucking up every wet glob of cum shot against them, against your womb. Getoâs full, heavy balls filling you up in mere seconds with how much he was painting your poor cunt white. Dripping down the side of your pussy lips, creating such a mess all over his base that he just canât help but-
RIP!
Your back is hitting the mattress before you know it, Getoâs large figure looming over you- how? When did he-
âYa really thought those would stop me from-â he takes the time to spread open your trembling legs, spying down at the mess of cum leaking out of your gaping hole now. Thick, gushing dredges of him - all him. Heâs shuffling down, hot breath hitting your abused cunt, â-having my favorite meal?â
⥠CHOSO KAMO - Made for this.
Slam!
Youâre both jolting - you at the deafening sound of your best friendâs hand slamming down on the headboard, making it creak at the sheer power. Him at those sultry little words that had just left your glossy lips, sending all the blood in his body right down to where he was buried between your shaky legs.Â
Before you can react, Chosoâs looming his face closer - eyes wide, jaw sagging open, voice just a whisper when he asks, âWhat did you say?â
And through it all, itâs a wonder youâre managing to catch your breath. Because Chosoâs unforgiving cadence was barely letting up, pushing in long, solid strides of his hips to drag his fat cock against the plush of your gummy walls. âI-I said since itâs your first time nâ I wanna make this special, you should-â Looking him right in his pussydrunk eyes when you say, â-cum in me, Cho.â
Just like before, that honeyed request pulls out such a visceral reaction from him. His dewy eyes scrunch shut, thick tip kissing so deep inside your womb when he twitches animalistically. Sliding across to mark you from the inside out.Â
And somewhere in your fucked-out mind, you register the snap! of wood breaking above you, Chosoâs biceps flexing with movement. âFuuuck, baby, you canât hah- s-spring that on me like that.â
It was true - a few too many bad sex scenes on movie night, and a few too little lingering touches left you wanting more. Wanting to steal away your cute best friendâs virginity once and for all, and then some.
âWhy not?â you bat your lashes so deceivingly innocently up at him. Making his poor jaw drop even further, hips stuttering forwards sloppily. âNo no no no, Cho. Youâre my best friend and you deserve the best.â youâre tutting, tightening your legs around his sculpted waist. Preventing any escape - as if he could ever want to run away from this heaven. âI need you to cum in me.â
It happens too fast for you to even register - before you know it, two large hands of Chosoâs are hoisting your limp legs up onto his toned shoulder. Upper half bending down, down, down until he had you folded in half in such a mean mating press.Â
âF-fuck donât-â he gasps out, eyes rolling to the back of his head at the lewd change in angle. The curving divot of his head brushing up against that hot g-spot of yours, raw with so many hits. Greedy eyes locked on the way your puffy cunt was swallowing him whole. â-donât say that! Was enough havinâ you offer your pretty lilâ cunt fâme to fuck.â
Smirking, âCum in me, Cho. Please?â
And fuck Choso was sure he was going to pass out this very second. Collapse on top of you like an utterly fucked ragdoll. But, no - and he doesnât know whatâs more embarrassing - instead, his heavy balls are squeezing sloppily, making such a mess of you inside when he streams out thick spurts of cum.
Eyes ringing, vision spotty when heâs pouring such heavy amounts to paint your cunt white. Itâs all he can do to breathe, âFuck- fuck fuck fuck mâcumming mâsorry mâcumming mâcumming- ah- ngh-â
âF-fuck yeah give it tâme.â you murmur heatedly, drool dripping down the corner of your mouth with each pump inside reaching your lungs. Sending dredges of seed slobbering down Chosoâs throbbing length, forming a pool at your inner thighs. âGive it all to me, youâre doing so good for your first time, baby.âÂ
Your honeyed praises stick to him like a veil of sin, having him shudder out little whines of your name. âNo mânot!â
âHm? Whatâre you fuuuck right there- what are you talking about? Yes, you are.â you thread your fingers through his long, damp locks. Pushing away the dark strands sticking to his forehead to connect it with yours, âDoing so good fâme.â
Chosoâs breaths come out in feverish puffs, and despite having velvety strings of his cum sloshing inside your walls right now, he was still hard. Still painfully hard with each overstimulated shove into your dripping cunt.Â
âDreamt of this for so long.â he drawls, ragged. A soft thumb coming down to draw on your clit, âBeen wanting you for so long nâ you have no idea. Mâ jus- fuck your pussy is just too perfect, my girl.â That little confession has you clenching around him so tight. Forcing Choso to hike up a knee to stretch your thighs so far apart it burned, letting him accelerate his hips. âToo much that I canât keep it- hah- together. Sâlike sheâs made fâme. Jusâ wanna fill you up until you canât take it- ngh-âÂ
A particularly harsh kiss to your sweet spot has Chosoâs seed oozing out of your puckered hole even more. So slutty in the way that you were still clamping down to milk the soul out of him all through it.Â
His pretty pink lips fall into a soft oh! at the sight. Movements languid, hypnotized when the erratic, slender fingers on your clit move down. Swirling at the treacled ring of cum around his hilt, where your pussy lips were mashing against his toned pelvis.Â
You have half the mind to wonder if Choso even realized what he was doing - whether he was even breathing - as he raises those fingers to your mouth. Immediately parting your kiss-bitten lips to suck his glossy fingers clean.
The eager, lewd squelches from above and below have him pushing your body up to thrust even harder - hissing, âOh you really ngh- made fâme.â
âWell thenâŚâ you start, muffled. And your tone already has Choso gulping. Waiting on your every word. âWhy donât you cum inside me again to make up for it and the broken headboard?â
⥠RYOMEN SUKUNA - HEIR
Now, itâs not often that Ryomen Sukuna feels threatened. Him? The infamous king of curses? Donât make him laugh, everyone knows that youâre his pretty lilâ slut, his favorite human.
But itâs times like this, with your pretty self sat where you belong - right on his fat, achy cocks, your limp legs dangling off his luxurious throne, crying and begging for him to just move - heâs reminded that maybe not everyone knows.Â
âPleeease, Kuna.â youâre dragging out of your throat, voice wrecked with need. âJusâ need to- to cum!â And he thinks itâs so adorable how youâre trying to fuck your hips up and down on his lengths, matching tips so thick that they rut against your sweet spots without even trying.Â
Itâs useless, with the tight, black-nailed grip he has on your stuttering hips. Making such a mess slobbering down his cocks.
âHmmm, I dunno if you deserve it, brat.â his smug facade is laced with something else - something dangerous now. âAfter allâŚâ heâs nosing down your racing pulse, breathing in as if he could smell the lust in your blood. â-you looked real cozy with that minister from earlier.â
Youâre gasping - whether from his words, or from the way his curved shafts twitch so furiously inside you, youâre not sure.Â
âWh-what?â
He scoffs, âYou know what mâtalkinâ about.â
And you did - unfortunately. Hazy mind showing off shreds of memories from that meeting you accompanied Sukuna to earlier today. The one where, despite being dangling off his arms the entire time, one unsavory new minister managed to throw a few crass remarks your way. Something about how good you must be and how heâd give you an-
âHeir.â Itâs all that Sukuna is spitting out before thrusting up into you. Deep, slow. Like he knew you were thinking about that little altercation today and wanted to fuck out every thought of it out of your pretty lilâ mind. âThat little scum had the audacity to talk to my woman about how heâd have an heir by now. As if Iâm not fucking you right.â
Two thick fingers come up to smush your cheeks together into a pathetic pout, spitting into your open mouth, âIâd have killed him if you didnât fuckinâ stop me, human.â
âB-because-â youâre crying out, eyes rolling to the back of your head with each smash of his fat tip against the bullseye of your g-spot, the other marking up your cervix. âI didnât want to cause a scene in front of-â
âSo what if I caused a scene?â Sukunaâs sharp canines are nipping down on your wobbly lower lip. The curve of his dicks stretching you so thin. Taut. Until your clingy walls molded to his shape. âDo you deny me the right to defend my woman? My future heir?â
The sopping wet sounds of your poor hole being ravaged are almost too loud for you to hear his last words. Almost.
You gasp, face lolling up from where they were pressed up against his sculpted pecs. âWait- future heir?â
And oh how Sukuna loved the sound of that on your lips. A raw groan curling up from his throat, biting his lip while he fucks you so thorough. So purposeful.Â
At this point the only thing youâre managing to get out are pitchy whines, being bounced up and down like some sextoy on the kingâs cocks. His massive girths tattooing your walls with each and every twin vein and ridge.
âMhm, ya like that?â Sukuna grins, slacking down the throne to jut his muscled abdomen upwards. âWanâ me to breed this cute cunt with my heir?â
The only response heâs getting are your nails raking red, angry marks down his tan skin, which clearly wasnât enough for him.
âI asked you a question, brat.â This earns you a sharp smack! to the fat of your ass, his nasty cadence only speeding up. Youâre barely even lucid anymore, just being slid along his towering lengths. âUse your words nâ fuckinâ tell- me-â
âHngh!â youâre screaming out at a particularly harsh jab against your g-spot. Big fat tears rolling down your cheeks when you mewl, âYes! Yes I wanâ it so bad, ngh- for you to fill me up. Breed me until- ngh until everyone knows.â
The honeyed grin youâre given is something you know doesnât bode well, Suknuaâs eyes darting somewhere behind you. But thatâs the last thing on your mind while he spits a thick glob of saliva on your cunt. Goading, âWell if youâre that desperate, woman.â
And itâs dizzying - if you thought Sukuna was fucking you thoughtless before then you werenât ready for right now.Â
âFuck.â he grits out. âYes that bastard got one thing right- I just wanna- oh-â And then heâs spitting, another steady stream of saliva right on your struggling cunt. âWanna breed this pussy- until they know mâthe one that fucks you right.â Heâs rubbing a palm along your stomach, drawing a line where he could feel the bulge of his swollen cocks. âHave you round and glowing with my heir.â Moving up, up, up to cradle your bouncing tits into his greedy mouth. âHave these hah- filled with milk. And have you filled with me. Theyâll all see you and see me. I did this.âÂ
Sukunaâs red, glowing eyes are the last thing you see before everything flashes white. And then youâre cumming - barely having the capacity to give a fair warning other than, âOh- f-fuck Kuna mâgonna.â
It takes you a moment to realize that he is as well. The squelches from your delicious cunt only increasing twofold when heâs gifting you with thick spurts of his seed. Too much. Both fat heads throbbing in staccato with your high, so furiously before theyâre erupting in a gush of pure white. Too much.Â
âAhhh yes, sâwhere you belong.â Sukuna breathes, voice a few octaves higher with how much he was still cumming. Hips thrusting to force such filthy movements to pump his potent seed deeper and deeper - sure enough to mark you from the inside out. âFucked dumb on mâcocks and hah- ready to make me an heir. One to kill off all the trash I canât.â Letting it slobber down onto his abs, pooling at the muscles. Hot loads overspilling from your tight pussy now. Shit, itâs a sight so sinful that Sukuna has to tear his eyes away to look at that slightly ajar door, brows quirking at the aghast face outside he meets. âWonât you agree, minister?â
⥠GOJO SATORU - âDo you hate me?â
âHuh- what?â youâre blinking, unsure if you even heard that correctly. Eyes darting from Gojoâs pouty pink lips to the way he was still bludgeoning his aching cock inside you, âOf course I donât, Toru? Whatâs with the- hah-â
Apparently, your answer wasnât good enough for the great Gojo Satoru, and itâs not long into your bumbling, half-drunk sentence before heâs smashing his fat tip purposefully against that honeyed g-spot he loved so much. Dragging out such cute moans from your throat while he babbles, âThen why are you- hah telling me to pull out?â
It takes everything in you to wrench your eyes open to meet his dead-serious expression, âWhat?â
Gojo scoffs at how fucking long it was taking your cockdrunk mind to comprehend him. Pushing your knee back further to spread your sopping cunt, squeezing his thick girth inside like some cocksleeve. âWhy-â he cuts himself off with a bullying little thrust. â-are you telling- me to fuckinâ pull out.â And he sounds so genuinely devastated, voice a pitch higher than normal, breaking ever-so-slightly at the end. âDo you hate me now, sweetheart?â
âYou fuckinâ-â youâre spitting. Nails digging into the sides of Gojoâs pale neck when youâre pulling him closer, hissing into his panting mouth, â-idiot. I told you to- ngh- to pull out because I donât trust that limitless of yours to work.â
âBut, my girlââ he whines, burying his face to lick up the crook of your neck. âDonâ wanna leave to ah- get condoms right now. Mâthe strongest, when has it not worked?â
And itâs like the sole reminder of this fact is enough to spur your boyfriend on even more, because with a ragged growl heâs falling back onto his thighs - taking your boneless body right along with him. Greedy pussy sat so pretty and needy around his cock, sinking deeper and deeper down every long inch.
You could barely even feel it - limitless. Just a slight, steady pulse of jujutsu, atoms standing at attention all around your tangled bodies. Â
âOh!â you keen at the feeling of Gojoâs heft veins making their mark all along your gummy walls. Gravity sliding you down his swollen cock until your puffy folds were meeting his sharp pelvis in a messy kiss. âY-youâre really not fuuuck- backing down, huh?â
As if to prove your point, a large palm comes up around your back, wrenching your two hands behind to pin them behind your back. Leaving you completely bare and helpless under his obscene will.Â
âNope.â Gojo hums, popping the âpâ. Flashing you a fucked-out grin - and oh he looks so pretty, so wrecked with his snowy locks disheveled, cheeks a blushing pink, lips spit-glossed and worried. âHow could I be when my girl- hngh feels like this?â
âSânot gonna-â
âIt is-â heâs interrupting in a syrupy tone, so drunk off the way you were complaining about his limitless but taking every thrust he gives so well. âSâgonna work- it will work hngh- trust me, sweetheart.â Thumbing apart your bulging swollen folds even further to toy over your pulsing clit, âShit- love it when you squeeze me like that. Hah- and you expected me to leave this nâ go get condoms fuckinâ right.â With every hungry thrust heâs gifting your poor pussy, Gojoâs mouth is running a mile a minute against your racing pulse. Heavy tongue lolling, eyes rolling to the back of his head with every passing millisecond youâre sucking the ever-loving soul out of him. âAs if Iâd wanna hah- leave this. Itâll work-â
Somewhere in-between the lingering ruts, a hand of yours runs through Gojoâs damp tresses, tugging on it to make him look. Difficult, somehow.Â
âToruâŚâ you grip harder on his soft strands, dragging him away from his little hiding spot. Relenting, heâs slowly raising his eyes to look at you and- âWhy are you-â
Oh. Shit.
If you thought Gojo was ruined before then you werenât ready for this - his half-lidded eyes glowing, crackling with power, babbling lips sagging open in ecstacy. And if you didnât know any better youâd have thought that the lights in your bedroom flickered dangerously just a bit. He gasps, eyes boring into yours, âWhat- what was I sayinâ again?â
Oh he was so fucked - and you were, too.Â
Because your mouth is moving before your mind, feeling so dirty when you muse, âTold me how you were gonna- ngh- drop limitless nâ fill me up, Toruââ
Your jaw is prying open with his mean little tempo. Fat, greedy cock messing up your insides with how haphazardly he was spearing inside in weighty, animalistic thrusts. Leaving just enough time for that divot on his angry tip to peck at your sweet spots, before shoving his entire length back in and out again. Over and over and-
It only takes a mere split-second of Gojoâs limitless faltering, of him being enveloped in all your dripping heaven, before heâs cumming. And cumming so hard, gushing out so much in thick, hot streams of his heady seed.
Itâs filling you up from the inside, stretching your walls taut. Sloppy. Sinful. And you can do nothing but reach your high as well, flashes of white-hot pleasure behind your eyes. Or maybe that was Gojo.
His creamy white cum kissing you inside, drooling out of your ravaged hole with every mindless push of his hips. Forcing it deeper and deeper and oh fuck, he could do this forever. Fuck condoms. Fuck limitless. He tells you that - rattles it off into your open mouth a little over fifteen times watching the coating of his cum pool a glossy sheen down your legs. Sloshing down in thick, lewd globs.
âTold you so.â you scoff.Â
âThat- that was just the practice round! Best out of three?â

the alchemy
Mob!Bucky x ReaderÂ
Run-through: About a decade ago you left your home and ran away, looking for a fresh start after having had your heart broken by the boy you loved. Now youâre back and turns out Bucky Barnes â the same man who once broke your heart â is adamant on tormenting you some more. But why? Why does he want you back at all cost when he was the one who once pushed you away and crushed your heart like it meant nothing to him? What secrets has he been keeping for almost a decade? Most importantly, what truly happened that night he broke your heart?Â
Themes: forced marriage/marriage of convenience, angst, mob!bucky, metal arm, fluff, smut, possessive!bucky, childhood friends-to-enemies-to-lovers trope, bratty!reader, mentions of violence, explicit language, slow burn-ish, HEAÂ
a/n: new mob!bucky pics droppedâ

âI do.â You said in a sombre voice, with blood dripping from the cut on your lip as you sealed your fate and married your worst enemy.Â
Buckyâs face was bleeding too, your nails had done some damage earlier when you both got into a physical altercation like wild animals. You nearly smirked when you realised he looked worse than you did.Â
Then again you both looked like you went through hell as you stood here, at this makeshift altar, in the middle of what used to be the foyer of your fatherâs mansion before Bucky and his men shot at it until it was nothing but rubble, broken glass, and cracked marble.Â
Messy hair. Cuts and bruises all over your bodies. Dishevelled clothes. Your white jumpsuit had your own bloodstains on it, and his all black suit was torn in certain places. But he looked every bit the man they say he is. Dangerous. Cold, dark presence. The large bruise on his jaw was beginning to get darker now, thanks to the many punches from you. His near shoulder length hair was surprisingly looking neat. It pissed you off.Â
You looked like a mess too. And for a brief second, as his blue eyes looked down at your throat, you knew he could see a matching bruise forming around your neck from when heâd pinned you down to the floor earlier with that damned metal arm.Â
No one was dead, none of your people and none of his. Thankfully. But right now, as you married the man standing in front of you, you felt dead inside.Â
âYou may now kiss the bride.â Was all you heard and you remained still as Bucky grabbed you by the waist and pulled you into him.Â
You resisted for a moment, but then he pulled you harder until your chests collided and you had no choice but to remain pressed against him. âIâm tired of these games, princess.â He hissed in a lowered voice, looking down at you with his merciless blue eyes.Â
You stared back at him with equal contempt. âYouâre gonna regret this, Barnes.â You sneered, in a hushed voice. Not that the injured family members and men surrounding you â both his men and your fatherâs guards who stood and watched the show in disbelief and shock would mind the disrespect for each other in both your tones â but you didnât want to add to the ridiculousness of this situation.Â
âOh?â He taunted with a faint smirk. Only then did you notice the small cut on his upper lip. It brought you a little solace. âYouâre my wife now, you will do as I say.âÂ
The bitterness in your tone matched his as you said, âWeâll see about that, husband.âÂ
You could tell heâd accepted the unspoken challenge, and he would do anything to win. After all, everything was a game to Bucky Barnes. He didnât care who he used, who he manipulated, or who he tossed aside. He paraded around like he owned this world and everything and everyone in it.Â
Bucky scoffed then leaned in to kiss you, hard. It wasnât a loving kiss in any way. It was possessive though. Like he was putting on a show for whoever was watching, making sure everyone in this dilapidated room understood that you were his now.Â
You kissed him back, angrily. You despised him. Your entire family did. But they couldnât save you this time. Buckyâs attack was unexpected. Your guards were unprepared. You were the last line of defence and this⌠union was necessary. You had to offer something, anything. Otherwise Bucky and his guys threatened to burn down your half of the city and turned it to ash immediately.Â
But it wasnât always like this. Your families used to be allies. You actually grew up with Bucky, he tolerated you enough back then and you had always had a crush on him.Â
Then that night happened almost a decade agoâŚÂ
It was your twentieth birthday party, and your father made an announcement which you were not ready for.Â
He announced to the ballroom filled with important people that you were to marry Bucky, and that both families were beyond happy to transform their friendship into something more solid through this alliance.Â
You remained frozen in place for long minutes after that announcement was made, even though your heart raced like never before. No one had told you about this, but judging by the way your family hugged and congratulated Buckyâs family you understood that this was all planned.Â
You kept that smile on your face though, as people walked over to congratulate you. You looked around and tried to find Bucky in the crowd to see if he knew about this but he was nowhere to be found.Â
You were certain he was here just a moment ago, leaning against one of the pillars and brooding as always. And heâd just disappeared.Â
The announcement made your heart flutter incessantly. After all, youâd always had a huge crush on Bucky. How could you not? He was the boy you grew up around, he had pretty eyes and nice hair. Sure he was broody and rarely ever smiled but you liked how it suited his bad boy personality. And your young heart was weak for the handsome boy with tattoos and blue eyes.Â
After people were done congratulating you, you discretely walked out of the party and decided to look around and try to find Bucky. You hated how giddy you were. Sure, Bucky was broody and rarely ever laughed. He spent his entire time glaring at you then getting jealous when you talked to other guys. But you had liked him since forever.Â
You looked all over your fatherâs mansion. Bucky was nowhere to be found indoors. So⌠maybe the pool area outside? You started walking in that direction, feeling like a princess in your white ball gown as you walked down an empty hallway, a faint smile on your face as you looked for the man you were meant to marry soon.Â
Maybe Bucky knew about this announcement. Maybe he was okay with it. Maybe this would be your fairytale in real life, you thought. Maybe youâd melt his frozen heart and everything would be perfect. Maybe he liked you back all along and you just never knew!Â
â...marry her?âÂ
Your smile vanished as you stopped right before you stepped outside onto the patio. Was that Buckyâs voice? Was he talking to someone? You quietly stepped closer, hiding behind the plants as you tried your hardest to listen to what he was saying.Â
You could see him, standing on the black tiles by the pool. He had his back to you, and he held a phone to his ear. His broad shoulders and lean waist accentuated by how well that black suit moulded to his muscular body. You watched as he ran his fingers through his short black hair in frustration.Â
Who was he talking to?Â
âNo!â He barked at the phone. âDid you not listen to what I just said? I donât want to do this!â He yelled, not bothering that anyone around might hear him. âI tried to talk them out of it! This is so fucking stupid!âÂ
You blinked in surprise, unable to process what you were hearing.Â
âI donât care what I have to do, but I will not marry her.â He said with enough venomous certitude that a silent tear fell down your face.Â
All your previous delusions turned to nothing but heavy disappointment. It made you feel stupid. This gown felt stupid. The diamonds around your neck, around your wrists and in your hair felt stupid. How stupid of you to think this was all going to end well? How stupid of you to think your childhood crush actually meant something? How stupid of you to think that there was a chance he liked you back? Of course he didnât. He wouldnât have ignored you for years if he did.Â
You couldnât stop the sudden sob that escaped your mouth. Afraid that he might have heard, you took a few steps back and hid behind a nearby, tall potted shrub.Â
Things were quiet for a moment or two. You heard him whispering so quietly you couldnât make out what he said. Your face burned in embarrassment at the thought of him finding you here. You already felt stupid and childish, you didnât want to get caught eavesdropping in this situation.Â
But then he resumed talking on the phone. You couldnât risk moving to look at him so you remained hiding, and listened. Your heart broke with each word that left his mouth.Â
âAnd sheâs so blind she doesnât even see it.â He hissed, louder this time. âI barely tolerate her. Her whiny, and bratty attitude. I mean sheâs a grown woman and still acts like sheâs daddyâs little princess.â He scoffed. âYou shouldâve seen her today, she looks like a kidâs toy with that ridiculous dress on.âÂ
More tears streamed down your face as you heard nothing but distaste and irritation in his voice. This was the boy you had a hopeless crush on? This is what he thought of you?Â
You didnât need to hear more. This was more than enough to completely break you so you turned around and quietly walked back down the same hallway. You wiped your tears, and put a fake smile on as you went back to your party. This time with a plan in your head.Â
You endured the party with a heavy heart. Faked some more smiles until it ended. You didnât see Bucky again for the rest of the night, which was good. By the early hours of the morning, everyone had left. You wandered around that empty ballroom like a ghost that night. For hours. Thinking, plotting. It was clear Bucky didnât want this. And now neither did you. But your families had announced it. So what exactly could you do?Â
By the time the sun rose, you had already written a note to your father and left it on his desk. By the time the sky brightened, your bags were packed and you were already driving out of the mansion grounds. And you knew that by the time your father would go into his office and find that note, you would already be on a plane, on your way out of here.Â
You didnât give too many details in the note. You simply said that you were leaving, not knowing when or if youâd be back.Â
Truth was, you had no solid plans. All you knew was that you needed to get away from home.Â
You didnât know that when youâd return home â almost a decade later, so much would have changed.Â
Your father was angry. Livid actually, that youâd been away for years without contact. You briefly explained why you needed to leave. And how youâd been able to make a name for yourself elsewhere. But after he was done berating you for what you did when you were twenty and stupid, he filled you in on all that youâd missed in the past decade almost.Â
Some important points were: your family and Bucky were no longer allies, but were now each othersâ worst rivals but no one knew that. The city was now secretly divided â your family ruled and controlled one side, and Bucky ruled the other.Â
âItâs just him now?â You had asked, and your father nodded.Â
âA lot happened after you left, actuallyââ
A loud noise cut him off. Rounds of bullets shot at the windows of the house, from all sides it seemed. And it was pure chaos. You could hear your guards fighting back, but even by just hearing the commotion you could tell you were severely outnumbered.Â
But whoever it was, they werenât shooting at anyone, just at windows â making enough noise to get your attention and to get you to come outside.Â
You marched out of the room despite your father ordering you not to. And you were halfway down the grand stairs when he walked in and spotted you immediately with a smug look on his face.Â
Bucky. Walked in like he owned the place. He stopped in the middle of the foyer, which was now ruined. Bits and pieces of concrete and glass all over the marble floor. Flower pots destroyed, the gilded mirror in pieces as well. He made a mess of the home you grew up in and you almost shot him right in the heart there and then.Â
Here was the man who once broke your heart after making you think for years that maybe you had a chance.Â
âWhat the hell do you think youâre doing?â You hissed. You could hear your father coming to a stop on the landing several steps behind you. He was unprepared. You were armed with only one handgun tucked into your pocket. Your guards were outnumbered. This was a shitshow.Â
The guards â his and yours â stopped firing and now just stood all over the place on high alert. And you knew, deep down in your gut you just knew something which you werenât ready for was about to happen.Â
âI see youâre finally home, princess.â Bucky just gave you a cold smile and shoved his hands in his pockets. The action drew your attention to one specific thing. The metal arm. You frowned at it in confusion, but didnât react.Â
But that word⌠âprincessâ brought back memories which chased you out of this place. And it only fueled your anger.Â
âWhat the fuck do you want?âÂ
He lifted his nose slightly in the air, like the arrogant prick he had always been. âIâm here to collect what I was promised.â His voice was strong and confident. âA bride. Now you have a choice, princess. Either we do this in peace and no one gets hurt, orâŚâÂ
He didnât even have to finish his sentence because on cue, one of his guards sneakily appeared on the landing behind you, holding a gun to your fatherâs head. You froze for a moment. The look on your fatherâs face made everything so serious all of a sudden. You had to be extra careful here.Â
âYou wouldnât.âÂ
He scoffed, âWouldnât I?âÂ
You argued, âItâs been almost a decade.âÂ
âI donât care. We were supposed to marry each otherâ,âÂ
You cut him off, âYes, and you didnât want that, did you? I heard you on the phone that night.â You finally confessed. âBy the pool. I remember every single word that came out of your fucking mouth. So donât come here acting like youâre entitled toâ,âÂ
âYou think you know everything, donât you?â He smirked, shaking his head. âIs that why you ran away? And didnât come home for a decade? Because you spied on me that night and didnât like what you heard?âÂ
That did it. One moment you were standing on the stairs, afraid that your father might get hurt and the next you had your gun out and shot right at his metal arm, knowing it wouldnât hurt him but it would make him lower his guard for just a second.Â
And that one second was enough to jump him and punch him right in the jaw. Fuck, it hurt but it also felt so damn good. All those years youâd been away, you were also training in your free time. And you knew you were good at combat.Â
But so was he. A few punches in and he managed to throw you down on the floor and pin you to the ground with that same metal hand around your throat, keeping you in place. You didnât know why his guards just stood and did nothing, as though they had been ordered not to shoot at anyone here.Â
But you werenât under any such orders, so you managed to land another punch to his jaw before he yelled, âEnough!â Right in your face. âStop this shit, or I swear toâ,âÂ
You cut him off by punching him again, trying to get free the moment you felt his metal hand get loose around your throat. He growled in annoyance and tightened his grip.Â
âYouâre like a wild fucking animal. Stop!âÂ
You gritted your teeth at the insult and scratched his face exactly like how a wild animal would. You tried everything, tried to punch him again, tried to scratch down his neck and arms which only tore his shirt instead of his skin. You went for yet another punch and only then did you feel another pair of arms â one of his guards â pulling your hands away from his face. You thrashed and tried your hardest to break free but you couldnât and ended up biting your own lip rather badly in the process.Â
âI fucking hate you, Bucky Barnes!â You hissed, defeated, and now with a bleeding, throbbing cut on your lip which matched his.Â
Bucky kept his hand around your neck as he leaned in menacingly and whispered, âHate me all you want, princess. But you will marry me. Right here. Right now.âÂ
And thatâs how you found yourself kissing your husband, in the foyer of your fatherâs ruined mansion. With your helpless father, and the many guards as witnesses.Â
You pulled away from the kiss, breathless and angrier than earlier. Jaws clenched, you were ready to tackle him to the ground again, maybe actually shoot him with your gun this time, but he spoke before you could say anything.Â
âLetâs go.â He spoke, and like the loyal followers that they were, all of his guards silently walked out of your house. And Bucky grabbed your hand firmly in his and began pulling you out of the house as well.Â
You resisted again. âWait! You brute!â You pulled your hand away from his and ran back up the stairs to your father. âI ruined everything, Iâm sorry.âÂ
He just hugged you and told you to be careful and be smart. And that he forgives you. You promised youâd come to see him soon. And then you left, refusing to take Buckyâs hand again as you walked out of your fatherâs house.Â
You needed to think. You couldnât fight him right now. Besides, itâs not like you married him legally. All Bucky wanted was to make a scene and you let him. For now. Youâd need some time to come up with a plan and decide what needed to be done. But for nowâŚÂ
âIf youâre thinking about running away and disappearing for a decade again, you better stop. Youâre not getting away this time. You hear me?â Bucky spoke, sitting next to you in the backseat of his car as the driver drove to his side of the city, to his house surely. That authoritative tone of his made you want to scratch his face again.Â
âYou seem to be under the impression that youâre in control here, Barnes. Just know, I could still shoot you right now if I wanted to.â You didnât look at him, you looked out the window. At the city that had changed in your absence.Â
âOuch.â He faked his surprise. Then proceeded to put his arm around your shoulders to pull you into his chest, leaning down he whispered into your ear, âThatâs not a nice way of treating your new husband, now is it?âÂ
You gave him a fake smile, ignoring the way your brain thought he smelled delicious, and reached into your pocket to pull out your handgun. Placing the cold barrel right under his chin you said, âTry me, husband.âÂ
The driver cleared his throat in nervousness and you didnât want to traumatise the man so you pulled your gun away but left it in Buckyâs line of sight. He pulled away then, pulling his hand away from your shoulders but placed his metal hand on your thigh. A possessive move.Â
Yet that didnât bother as much. But the metal hand? Where did that come from? What happened while you were gone?Â
He answered your questions voluntarily. âGot caught in a crossfire. I got shot too many times, the arm was beyond saving. So I had the metal arm made. Itâs a very intricate technology, but it works just fine.â He said, flexing the hand on your skin.Â
You didnât miss the hidden sexual connotation in that last part of his sentence. And you certainly couldnât ignore the way your body responded to the cold, metal touch. It looked⌠badass. Not that you would ever tell him.Â
You tried to look out the window again, but his touch on your thigh was more distracting than you wanted it to be. It was all you could focus on. Just to stop thinking about it you said, âI donât have any of my things.âÂ
âItâs all been taken care of. Donât worry.â He answered, looking down at his phone. Acting like he didnât know his hand on your thigh was messing you up.Â
Still you frowned at his answer, âWhat do you mean itâs been taken care of?â Then you paused and thought about it for a moment, âDid youââ You sighed, âYou knew I was coming, didnât you? Did you have people spying on me?âÂ
He shrugged, âYou thought I would let my betrothed be out there in the world without keeping an eye on her?â He scoffed, looking up from his phone for a brief moment, âOf course I did. I know everything about you. I even know all about that secret, women-only army you created.â He added, âI was half expecting them to pop out of nowhere earlier at your fatherâs house.âÂ
You were in disbelief. This whole time you thought youâd hid well. But no.Â
âWhere are they anyway? Your girls?â He asked, and for once it didnât sound like a taunt. It sounded like he was genuinely curious.Â
âProbably out hunting and beheading men who think they can get away with forcing women into marrying them by threatening to kill their fathers.â You gave him another one of your fake smiles, âIâve trained them well.âÂ
Bucky smiled back. âWell good. When they get here to try and free you, we could unite our forces. Weâll be untouchable then, you and I. I have the money and you have an army.â He winked. âUltimate power couple.âÂ
âYou wonât get away with this, Barnes.âÂ
He looked out of the window and said, âI just came to collect what was promised to be mine that night.âÂ
You argued, bitterly, âOh we both know what happened that night.âÂ
âI do.â He said, âBut do you? Do you really?âÂ
You remained quiet for a moment. This was the second time he questioned your knowledge of what truly happened that night. As if you hadnât heard him loud and clear on that phone call.Â
âYouâ,âÂ
He cut you off and looked out the window as he said, âWeâre home.âÂ
It had been a long day. And you were running out of energy so instead of arguing some more, you just followed him out of the car and remained stunned for a moment as you looked at his house. It wasnât his family home. This one seemed new.Â
It was just as large as your fatherâs mansion, just a lot more contemporary compared to the more Georgian architecture-inspired one you grew up in.Â
Buckyâs house sat on a sprawling green and pristine property. It was a perfect blend of sleek architecture and a glass house, which allowed the right amount of privacy but also allowed glimpses of the warm, farmhouse inspired interior. Even from outside you could tell it was homey and bright inside.Â
Before you could get a word out, you felt his hands on you again. You tensed up and almost hit him again in defence but before you could, Bucky was carrying you bridal style â literally â and marching towards the large doors of his ridiculously pretty home.Â
âWhat the fuck are you doing?â You questioned, squirming just a little in the intimate embrace.Â
âTraditions,â He said, looking down at you, âCanât have you trip at the doorstep and risk bringing bad luck into our marriage.âÂ
You frowned at him, reluctantly wrapping your arms around his neck for support. âYou say âour marriageâ like itâs gonna be a real thing. It wonât, Barnes. Iâll be out of here before youâ,âÂ
He used you to push open the door and the warm interior of the home shut you up. For some reason you never imagined someone like Bucky would live in a house that actually looked like a home. You pictured him living in some villainâs lair.Â
But this was⌠beautiful.Â
You squirmed into his arms until he finally set you down carefully. You stood there for a minute, in the foyer, just looking around. Then you couldnât help but say, âIt would be a real pain if someone just started shooting at the windows of your house like a madman, wouldnât it?â You waved your gun in front of his face.Â
âIâll send people over tomorrow morning to fix your fatherâs house.âÂ
âYou donât even sound apologetic.â You scoffed.Â
âIâm not.âÂ
You narrowed your eyes at him. âWas it necessary? To shoot at my house like that? You couldnât just, I donât know, ring the doorbell to get me to come outside? You absolutely had to be a child?âÂ
He smirked then said, âFirst of all, that isnât your house anymore. This is where you live now, and you will call this your home. Second of all, why blame me when you acted just as childish when you decided to run away all those years ago? Third of all, I did it because, well, I do like some drama.âÂ
You couldnât not believe him. âYou amaze me with your stupidity, Barnes.âÂ
âYou amaze me with your bratty attitude, Mrs. Barnes.âÂ
You stepped closer to him, slow and in a threatening manner. âDonât call me that.âÂ
âDonât call me that.âÂ
You sighed, âYou know youâre still that little boy who used to bully everyone when we played as kids.âÂ
He clarified, âNo, I bullied you because you were annoying. Everyone else was fine.âÂ
âI hate you.â You said with enough hostility you hoped it would shut him up.Â
It didnât. âWell, see.â He took your hand in his and said slowly as if talking you down, âThatâs something weâll work on together as a couple.âÂ
You pulled your hand away and were so tempted to justâÂ
âCome,â he said, âIâll show you where our room is.â You began protesting immediately but he cut you off by saying, âStop being fucking difficult. Weâre married now, act like it.âÂ
âI want a separate room!âÂ
âNo.âÂ
âIâm not sleeping with you!âÂ
âThen donât. But you will sleep in my bed. Like my wife should.âÂ
âYouâre a fucking animal!â You tried tugging your hand free from his grasp.Â
Bucky had had enough. So he pinned you to the nearest surface, which happened to be the closed door of his bedroom. He grabbed both your wrists in his metal hand and pinned them above your head. His face was just inches away from yours, and he stared deep into your eyes.Â
Your mind immediately went to that harsh kiss youâd shared earlier. And you hated how your body squirmed just as the thought of it. You refused to think about it any more, but his mouth was just so, so close. The cut on his lip, the slight stubble on his cheek and around his mouth, the texture of his skin, you were picking up on details youâd missed.Â
Bucky spoke in a calm, deep voice which sent shivers down your spine. âLetâs be adults here, okay? You stop acting like a brat, and Iâll stop treating you like one.â He said, pressing his chest into yours. âItâs been a long day, and I know youâre running out of energy as well so stop resisting me. If I was an animal, I wouldâve dragged you to bed right now and wouldâve made you mine in every sense of the word.â He whispered, his voice cold and dangerous. âBut Iâm not. So you will walk into this room, and head straight for a warm shower and after youâre done weâre gonna clean these wounds. Am I clear?âÂ
You nodded quickly, like an idiot entranced by his gorgeous voice.Â
âUse your words, princess. Am I clear?âÂ
âYes.âÂ
âGood. Letâs go.âÂ
âÂ
You leaned against the counter, wrapped in a fluffy robe and another towel wrapped around your wet hair, and Bucky was cleaning the cut on your lip.Â
His wounds were all cleaned. It looked like he had used a different shower while you were in here. His long hair was damp and tied into a small bun, with strands of his dark hair falling on either side of his face. He had changed into a tight black t-shirt and PJ trousers. It was frustrating to look at him. Because he looked so damn good.Â
Last time youâd seen him was when he was a twenty year old boy. Heâd changed since. He seemed taller somehow. Or maybe it was just the muscles making him look bigger.Â
You couldnât look away from the metal arm. And the intricate details on it.Â
âAre you hurt anywhere else?â He asked, throwing the used cotton balls and napkins in the trash can.Â
You didnât miss the way he was being gentle all of a sudden. Calm voice, calm movement. Very different from the man whoâd forced you to marry him just hours ago.Â
âNo.â You answered, turning around to look in the mirror. The bruise on your neck was very much visible now. You didnât notice Bucky approaching you again, you didnât notice how close he got, not until he reached out and touched your neck with his warm fingers.Â
And for the first time, he sounded genuine when he said, âIâm sorry. About that.âÂ
You met his eyes through the mirror and remained quiet for a moment. For a brief moment you thought back to that night. What if you hadnât heard him on the phone? What if you had married him back then? Would this be a normal, daily thing? Sharing a bathroom, a bed?Â
âI punched you. Multiple times. This makes us equal.âÂ
Bucky scoffed, then nodded. Then said, âCome to bed when youâre done.â And left you alone in the bathroom.Â
Shit. You stared at yourself in the mirror. What a day. All you wanted was to pay your father a visit and maybe spend some days at home and then fly back to where you came from. Having your fatherâs house be attacked, getting married, and having to share a bedroom with the man who once broke your heart⌠yeah, all that wasnât in the plan.Â
You changed into some comfy PJs Bucky had brought you earlier and walked out into the bedroom. You found Bucky on his phone again, standing by the foot of the bed.Â
âWhich side do you sleep on?â He asked, not looking up from his phone.Â
âUh, right.â You answered, because for some reason now he felt the need to ask for your opinion.Â
Bucky didnât say a word as he moved to the left side of the bed and peeled back the covers before getting in. Like this was just another day. Like this was normal. You awkwardly walked to your side of the bed and just stood there for a moment.Â
âJust get in bed. I wonât touch you.âÂ
He didnât even look at you as he spoke and, well, the lack of attention from him bothered you. Oh what the hell. You pulled the covers and got under them. You curled onto your side, with your back facing him.Â
Soon, you heard him click something and all the lights turned off. You sensed movement behind you but that was it. He didnât touch you. In fact, there was so much distance between you two that your back felt cold. And now that annoyed you as well.Â
You couldnât sleep.Â
An hour went by, you still couldnât sleep.Â
Another hour went by, and now youâd begun tossing and turning so much that you heard Bucky groaning.Â
âWill you stop that?âÂ
âI canât sleep.â You mumbled.
âDonât make it my problem. Stop moving.âÂ
âWow. Some husband you are.âÂ
Silence. Then you felt your body sliding across the bed as Bucky wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you into his warm chest.Â
âWhat theâ,âÂ
âShh.â He cut you off, his warm breath tickling your cheek as he spooned you from behind. âItâs cold. We could both use the warmth. Now go to sleep.âÂ
You scoffed, but didnât move. âYour fancy house doesnât have a thermostat? Fix the temperature.âÂ
âI like this better.âÂ
âI better not find your hands wandering.âÂ
You moved around for a bit, finding a comfortable spot. Then you moved some more and Bucky tightened his arm around you and whispered into your ear, âStop wiggling against my cock. I understand itâs our wedding night and all but Iâm too tired to do anything.âÂ
Your face burned in embarrassment. You tried to put some distance between your bodies, even though you liked his body heat, but thankfully Bucky pulled you right back.Â
âDid I say you can move?â He chided.Â
âWhat now, I need your permission to get comfortable in bed?âÂ
âBrat.âÂ
âAsshole.âÂ
âÂ
You didnât know when you fell asleep at night. But the heat from Buckyâs chest definitely helped. It mustâve been that. And in the middle of the night, you mustâve searched for more heat. That was probably the only reason why you woke up and found yourself sprawled all over him, face into the crook of his neck and both your hands under his shirt, legs tangled with his.Â
âYou call me an animal. But look at you. Touching me while I was sleeping.â He mumbled. âShameless.âÂ
You pulled away so fast, but then regretted it. Because now you missed his warmth. You shivered even under the covers. âWould it kill you to keep your damn house a little warmer?âÂ
He just yawned and got out of bed. âGet ready.â He said, âWe might have a guest coming over. And you have to be a good little wife and play host.âÂ
âFuck you.âÂ
âOh you will.â He teased, âSoon.â Then he winked and walked out of the room.Â
Well, he at least was giving you some privacy and let you have this bathroom all to yourself. Screw his and his mind games. First he barges into your house, forces you to marry him, then cuddles you to sleep.Â
You caught yourself frowning multiple times while you showered, did some skin care, and found the closet on the other side of the room. You werenât even surprised when you found a whole section filled with all you could need. All the shoes seemed like they would fit you, all the outfits as well.Â
Nothing fazed you anymore. Not even the fact that your new husband might be a bit of a stalker. How else would he know your underwear size!? And there were drawers full of them.Â
You tried not to worry too much as you got dressed. You were gonna get out of here soon anyway.Â
Once dressed and ready for the day, you got downstairs and immediately heard Buckyâs voice, along with another voice. They were laughing over something. You found out where they were and approached the high-ceilinged, charming, farmhouse-inspired kitchen which blended with a spacious, cosy dining area.Â
The other man had his back to you, but you knew that voice. Even though you hadnât heard it in years.Â
âSam?â You couldnât help but call out, lingering by the large doorway. Bucky remained leaning against the kitchen counter with a coffee mug in his hand, while Sam got up from where he sat at the breakfast counter.Â
He turned around and his familiar, warm brown eyes met yours. He gave you a comforting smile. You, Sam, and Bucky all grew up together, along with some other kids from families similar to yours. And Sam had always been a sweetheart. Youâd missed him.Â
So you didnât even hesitate to walk right into his arms once he opened them, wanting a hug. You squeezed him tight and said, âI thought Iâd never see you again, Sammy!âÂ
Sam hugged you back just as tight, âI canât believe I havenât seen you in almost a decade.â He pulled away to look down at you before giving you a loud kiss on the cheek. Safe to say, he was just as handsome as he was when you left this place. âHow have you been?âÂ
You looked over Samâs broad shoulder and found a broody Bucky. âIâve been better.âÂ
Sam got really serious, and was about to say something but Buckyâs voice rumbled from behind. âThatâs enough hugging and smooching. Sam, stop touching my wife.âÂ
âOoh, your wife.â Sam teased, before letting go of you and letting you walk out of his arms. âFirst of all, why didnât you tell me you two were planning to get married this whole time?â He asked Bucky in an accusatory tone. âMy childhood friends got married and I wasnât even invited.âÂ
Sam sat back down at the breakfast counter, so he didnât see the questioning stare you sent Bucky. So Sam wasnât aware of the circumstances under which you got married? Of course he didnât. Nobody knew, and Bucky wasnât about to tell anyoneÂ
âIt all happened so quickly, Sam.â You placed a gentle hand on his shoulder as you said, âBucky was⌠impatient. Even my father didnât have time to prepare much. It all just, you know, happened.â You spoke as you helped yourself to some breakfast, taking a seat at the table where you could see both men well.Â
You didnât miss the way Buckyâs jaws kept clenching and unclenching as you tiptoed the line between telling the truth and lying to Sam.Â
âYeah,â Sam agreed, âI know how impatient he can be.â He glared at Bucky, who shook his head in disbelief.Â
âI take it you two work together now?â You only asked because you remember how the parents would always talk about how wonderful it would be if these two boys worked together. Apparently they made a great team back then.Â
âWe do.â Bucky answered, placing his mug down before turning around and began chopping some things.Â
âYou see,â Sam began explaining in a playful tone. âAfter everything happened, Bucky was all along. Poor little princeling with no guidance and a kingdom to run.â You saw Bucky shaking his head at Samâs words. Sam continued, âSo I knew I had to step in and become his mentor. He wouldnât have survived without me.âÂ
You made a mental note to ask about what âeverythingâ he was referring to, but couldnât help but smile at the camaraderie between them, despite it all. Sam had always been a good company. He was the sun rays filtering through dark clouds, and Bucky was the dark, gloomy day who needed the sunâs brightness.Â
âWouldnât have survived.â Bucky muttered, mocking his friend. âYou helped me train sometimes. You introduced me to people. Thatâs about it.â He clarified, bringing over a bowl of chopped fruit over to you and pushed it towards you without a word said.Â
You liked fruits for breakfast. And you assumed he remembered. But he did it all too casually. As if he did it every day. You didnât want to cause a scene so you accepted the bowl quietly.Â
âThatâs about it?â Sam shook his head, then turned to you. âI took care of him like a parentâ,â
âNo you didnât. YouââÂ
ââand this is how he treats me. I shouldâve let you bleed out from that bullet wound that one time. Maybe you wouldnât be here disrespecting me then.âÂ
You chuckled, clearly on Samâs team. Bucky didnât like that. âWhat about my wife then? Who would be taking care of her?âÂ
âI would.â Sam answered without missing a beat. âWe all know if not you then I was gonna marry her.â He turned to you, knowing damn well he was gonna get a reaction out of Bucky any time now. Sam lived to mess with Bucky after all. He always did, ever since you were all kids. âWouldnât you have married me if Bucky had died?â He asked you with that mischievous smile on his face.Â
âIâ,âÂ
âYou answer that and youâll never see Sam again.â Bucky said, narrowing his eyes at you, before you couldnât get a word out of your mouth.Â
Sam smirked triumphantly.Â
You rolled your eyes at Bucky and looked right at Sam and said, âI wouldâve married you in a heartbeat, Sammy.âÂ
Sam went to grab your hand, surely to bring it up to his lips for a kiss, but Bucky threw a napkin right at him before he could.Â
âYou touch my wife again and I swearâ,âÂ
âMust you always threaten people?â You asked, glaring at Bucky.Â
He glared back. And opened his mouth to say something but Sam cut him off. âHey, hey, kids. No fighting.â He quickly changed the topic, âNow, since you have gotten married and no one was there, how about a party? To announce it to everyone? We could invite the whole city.âÂ
Party. Yeah right. The last time you attended an extravagant party you had your heart broken. Not just broken, but stepped onto and crushed to a pulp.Â
You went to say no, âMaybe we shouldnâtâ,âÂ
But Bucky declared, âAbsolutely we should. After all, we waited almost a decade to marry each other.â He looked right at you as he said that. âItâs time everyone knows youâre finally mine.âÂ
âPerfect!â Sam began planning immediately. He had always been the life of all parties, and he loved them.Â
While you occasionally answered his questions, you didnât stop glaring at your husband while you finished your breakfast. There was something he was hiding. You were certain of it. But what?Â
âÂ
A couple days later, it was finally the night of the party.Â
The past few days had been more or less similar. Youâd always wake up sprawled all over Buckyâs chest, and he always made a teasing comment about it. Youâd have breakfast in silence, after which heâd disappear and then heâd come home in the evenings. You never talked while having dinner.Â
The one time you did talk, it didnât end well.Â
You brought it up at dinner. âI tried to go out today. Your people followed me into the city.âÂ
âOur people.â He corrected. Bucky didnât find anything wrong with that apparently because he simply said, âAnd theyâre your security detail. Theyâve been ordered to follow you.âÂ
âSo I donât escape?âÂ
âSo youâre always safe.âÂ
âOh come on. You canât keep me here forever.âÂ
He shrugged, âYouâre not being kept. This is your home, weâre married. This is where you live now.âÂ
You stood up from the table.You didnât care that the housekeepers youâd been recently introduced to could hear. âAnd who are you to make that decision for me?â You asked, in a surprisingly calm tone.Â
He replied in a similar tone. âYour husband.âÂ
You sighed, trying your hardest to keep it all contained. âI have a life, you know? A totally separate life Iâve been living since I left this place. I have to get back to it at some point. You proved your point. Now let me go.âÂ
He ignored all of that. âIâm working on transferring all your businesses and staff here.â He announced. âIâm buying a brand new building in the city, you can have it and set it up however you want. The only thing I canât find is your secret army of highly trained soldiers.âÂ
âYouâll never find my girls.âÂ
âWhyâs that?âÂ
âTheyâre trained to outrun men like you. All men, in fact.â You added, âI made sure of that. I made sure theyâd never be used and moved around like pieces on a chessboard then discarded by people like you.âÂ
âSounds like you speak from experience.âÂ
âFuck you, Barnes.â You spat before walking away.Â
You made sure to sleep on the very edge of the gigantic bed that night, as far away from him as possible. But in the morning, you still woke up snuggled into his chest, on his side of the bed, like youâd been trying to burrow under his skin seeking warmth at night.Â
You didnât speak after that. You made sure to ignore him. Each time you left the house, to go see your father or to just roam around the city youâd missed so much, youâd look in the rear view mirror and find big, bulky SUVs following you around.Â
And here you were now, after days of silent treatment, you stood in front of the large mirror in the closet of your bedroom and watched your reflection. Of course the bastard had chosen an extravagant evening gown for you to wear which looked eerily similar to the one you wore that night for your birthday almost ten years ago.Â
Except this one was much more elegant. And looked a lot like a wedding dress. With its simple square neckline, thin straps, fitted bodice and a majestic skirt. All white and sparkly. The last time you felt like a princess, the night ended terribly. So this time you were afraid to even let yourself appreciate the beautiful woman in the mirror who stared back at you.Â
You kept fidgeting, with the skirt of the dress, watching it swish around. You didnât notice Bucky approaching you from behind. Not until he stood right behind you, his chest brushing against your slight exposed back.Â
He looked⌠unreal in his all black suit. Shiny black tie and a small shiny pin. His hair was perfect as always, and his all black outfit really made his eyes seem bluer than ever. Or maybe it was the lights in this closet that did it. But it made you notice the lines by his eyes, which gave away just how much time had gone by.Â
He was still that bad boy with tattoos whom you had a crush on, who made your race whenever he looked at you. Except now he was older, meaner. And your husband. Whom you hated.Â
Did you?Â
You tensed up when he placed a hand on your waist, right where the bodice and skirt were sewn together. You met his eyes through the mirror, but said nothing. You had no mean words to throw at him this time and neither did he.Â
âYou look beautiful.â He said, leaning in just a little to rest his cheek against your temple.Â
You froze at the soft touch which drove you insane. You must be ovulating, you thought, because there was no way that mere touch was making your heart race like this for no other reason. You began breathing faster, thatâs how fast your heart was racing.Â
You almost leaned into his touch, ready to forget it all just for one moment of warmth. Of peace and quiet. Just one moment to appreciate that you looked beautiful and you had your husbandâs attention and all was well. To appreciate that you two look great together. To stop fighting this weird alchemy between you two which kept drawing you to one another no matter what. But then you remembered.Â
âDo I?â You asked, keeping your voice steady. âYou sure I donât look like a kidâs toy with this ridiculous dress on?âÂ
He remembered too, judging by the look on his face. He looked surprised, then briefly apologetic before settling on a familiar, broody frown. âWhat did I say about being a brat?âÂ
âIâll stop being a brat when you stop being an asshole.â You scoffed. âYou always were so⌠careless. With people. With everything. Always thinking you were above everyone else, ever since we were just kids.â You added, âI hate you.âÂ
He smirked, then grabbed your elbow and turned you around so he could look at you, or glare at you with his ocean blue eyes. âYou didnât hate me back then, did you?â He pushed you against the closest surface, which happened to be a wooden dresser. âYou craved my attention back then. You used to find excuses to hold my hand when we were little. When we got older you used to hate it when I looked at other girls at school. Now look at you. Youâre in my house, you sleep in my bed.â He leaned in, whispering in your ear, âYouâre my wife. Then why do you keep resisting me, hmm?âÂ
âI was stupid back then. Wasted so much time trying to get your attention, and all I ever was to you was a whiny, brattyâ,â You cut yourself off with a surprised gasp as you watched Bucky lower to his knees in front of you, his hands lifting the skirt of your dress. He was rough with it, crumpling it in his strong fists. âWhat are you doing?â You asked, shocked and surprised but not making a move to get away. âYouâ youâre ruining my dress.âÂ
He looked up at you, bunching some of the fabric near your waist and holding the front part of your dress up, pinning the bunched up skirt at your abdomen. As if he wanted toâÂ
Your entire face burned when you realised just how close and intimate this was.Â
âI bought this dress. Iâll ruin it if I want to.â He spoke in that arrogant tone you werenât sure you entirely hated at this moment. âYouâre lucky Iâm not tearing it off of you.âÂ
âAnd youâre lucky Iâm notâ,âÂ
He cut you off by leaning in and kissing your inner thigh. Just like that. As if you werenât on the verge of arguing just now. You were still processing that soft kiss he left on your thigh, and he was already moving to spread your legs apart as he slowly looked up, waiting to see if youâd tell him to stop or push him away.Â
You didnât.Â
His eyes remained focused on your face as his hand reached out and he ran his metal knuckles between your legs, along your wet folds through your thin underwear, making you shudder at his mere touch. You flinched at the cold, but didnât pull away.Â
âYouâre dripping.â He commented, slowly sliding down your underwear. âDoes arguing with me turn you on, baby? Is that why you do it all the time?â He smirked, finally throwing your underwear to the side.Â
You glared at him, opening your mouth to argue yet again but you ended up just letting out a soft moan as you felt his metal fingertips gently trail up and down your legs. He chuckled at how sensitive and responsive you were. Bucky placed a kiss on your inner thigh again and you gasped.
âLooks like you havenât been taken care of in a while.â He said, moving his fingers over your clit, circling it slowly. âHave you?â He sounded like he was accusing you.
âNo.â You hissed, angry at how much you didnât mind his touch. âYou barged in and married me before I could go out and find someone who mightâ,âÂ
âI tolerate you talking to and about Sam because heâs our friend.â He cut you off. âBut if I hear you talking about any other man, I promise I will be committing unnecessary crimes and itâll all be on you.â He paused, glaring at you. âYou hear me?âÂ
You nodded. Fuck he looked good from up here.Â
He held your stare as he leaned in and placed his mouth to your core, giving your clit a firm such before his warm tongue slipped past your folds and teased your dripping hole. One hand holding part of your dress up while the metal one worked in tandem with his tongue, circling your throbbing clit and parting your wet folds with ease.Â
âShouldâve known youâd taste like fucking heaven,â He whispered, almost to himself.Â
You couldnât hold the moans and whimpers in, feeling his stubble rubbing against your soft skin, craving more of it. You couldnât help but slide hesitant fingers into his hair, pulling him closer. âPlease, moreâŚâ You whined.Â
That made him wild. And he ate you out relentlessly, taking his time and learning what worked for you and what didnât, until your legs were shaking and your moans were louder.Â
He slid his fingers, just a knuckle deep inside you and watched how much you loved that. âThat feels good, doesnât it, baby?âÂ
You only whimpered in response.Â
When he was certain you were right on the edge, hips moving in a frantic way which made you grind against his fingers and tongue, only then did he pull away and let go of your dress before standing back up to face you with a condescending smirk.Â
âYou think itâs that easy?â He spoke, but you focused more on the wetness coating his lips rather than his words.Â
You blinked a couple of times to break out of whatever spell heâd just put you under using that damned mouth and fingers of his. Heâd⌠heâd dared bring you right to the edge. But hadnât let you come.Â
You were breathing heavily, feeling hot and tingly all over.Â
He chuckled, enjoying the speechlessness which was rare when it came to you. âIf you want more, then behave tonight. Be good and tell everyone how in love we are and all the nice things, and I promise Iâll take care of you later tonight. Okay?â
You knew what he was doing. He wanted you to tell as many people as possible because the more people knew, the harder it would be for you to sneak out of this place again.Â
He didnât even wait for a response. He just licked his lips clean, shamelessly holding your stare while he did. Then turned to the mirror and fixed his suit before bending down to pick up your discarded underwear. You looked away, embarrassed but waiting for him to hand it to you.Â
Except he didnât. He pocketed it like it was nothing and said, âCome on, our guests are waiting.â Then he walked out of the room like nothing happened. Like he hadnât made you almost lose your mind just minutes ago. Like he didnât have his tongue and fingers inside you. Like he hadnât gotten so close to making you come.Â
Like your heart wasnât still racing even after heâd left the room.Â
Eventually, you calmed down. Fixed your makeup, hair and dress again before heading towards the temporary, clear outdoor party tent Sam had people install in Buckyâs huge backyard. The closer you got, the more it looked straight out of a fairytale. Given the clear walls, you could see the golden lights and decor inside.Â
The chandeliers, the floral arrangements, the tables and the dance floor where people danced with their partners.Â
Speaking of partners, there by the entrance stood a tall, dark figure. Your husband.Â
âTook you a while.â He muttered once you got close enough to him.Â
You stopped by his side and sighed. Then answered in a monotone voice, trying to hide how bothered you were. âWell, some conceited asshole left me to deal with a mess he made so thereâs that.âÂ
Bucky snickered. âDonât act so indifferent. You were dripping all over my tongue and hand just minutes ago.âÂ
âKeep your voice down.â You hissed.Â
âNothing to be ashamed of. Itâs not taboo for a husband to take care of his wife, you know?â He sounded just as annoying as you expected he would.Â
You looked down and noticed he had his elbow extended out for you to take. You took it and spoke once you two began walking into the venue. âIf you think you are getting anywhere near me to take care of me again, husband, you are dead fucking wrong.â You put a fake smile on as people began noticing your arrival and flocked to you.Â
Bucky whispered one last thing into your ear before he left you in the care of the excited, curious, and loud group of ladies coming your way, âOh youâll beg me to touch you soon enough, wife.âÂ
Then he was gone again. Leaving you right on that edge again.Â
Damn him!Â
â
You had to give it to Sam, he knew how to organise a party. The decor, the food, the music, the performances, all of it was perfect.Â
He even re-introduced to all the people you might have forgotten while you were gone. And naturally everyone had questions. You repeated the same answers to them all. The same lies.Â
Where were you this whole time? You wanted to do your own thing, and make your own name so you decided to get away from home.Â
Why did you leave right after it was announced that you were to marry Bucky Barnes? Oh your father never said when you were to marry him. He just said you would. Besides, both you and Bucky were too young to marry back then.Â
Did Bucky know you were going to be gone? Of course he did! You two were childhood sweethearts after all. Yes, you did keep in touch this whole time and only fell more and more in love. Yes, distance does make the heart grow fonder and all.Â
Why did the wedding happen so suddenly and in secret? After almost a decade of being far apart from each other, you two could no longer wait anymore. So you eloped the day you came back.Â
There are rumours that your father and Bucky have some kind of tension going on between them, is any of it true? That was the one question you didnât feel too confident about. Because your father never ended up telling you why that was. How did the rivalry start? You lied and said, itâs just because you eloped. Your father wanted to be involved but you were too in love to think straight. So now your father was giving your poor husband a hard time for stealing his little girl.Â
As you paraded around and met everyone, you could feel Buckyâs eyes on you at all times. You didnât have to look to know. You could feel the burning sensation along your back and you just knew he was watching you.Â
And he watched all night. Up until the moment people began leaving and you had no choice but to find him again, not knowing what else to do.Â
âYou lie very well.â He commented, holding his elbow out for you to take again.Â
You did. And also leaned into him a little because you had been standing for too many hours. You decided to ignore the hostility for just a minute. âYes, Iâm a natural.âÂ
âEveryone bought your bullshit about how we are childhood sweethearts turned lovers.â He whispered, turning his head to face you.Â
âWell, you did say to make it believable.âÂ
âOh it is.â He boasted, âEspecially since youâve been looking at me like that the whole night.âÂ
You rolled your eyes, âHow?âÂ
âWith longing, and desire. Youâre all hot and bothered. You crave my tongue back on that throbbing little clit, donât you?âÂ
âYouâre delusional, Barnes.âÂ
âAnd youâre dripping wet for me, Mrs. Barnes.âÂ
âÂ
The party ended, and after Sam left you and Bucky made your way back inside the house. Sam, being the angel that he was, had made sure a clean up crew would be here early the next morning so you had nothing to worry about.Â
Not that it should bother you whether or not Buckyâs house is tidy.Â
You had a faint smile on your face as you went about your nighttime routine. Shower, skin care, a quick snack in the kitchen. And while you were downstairs, searching the pantry for something sweet, you saw Bucky near the thermostat.Â
The pantry hid you well, so Bucky didnât see you. But you watched him mess with the temperature. You squinted and realised he was lowering it. The damned bastard was making it colder! No wonder you were freezing each night and woke up each morning snuggled up to him, basking in his warmth.Â
This asshole.Â
You remained in hiding until Bucky left, and this time as you made your way upstairs you vowed you wouldnât reach for his warmth. No matter how cold it got. And he wouldnât get to use you as a personal heated blanket either. Let him freeze.Â
You barely lasted thirty minutes under the covers.Â
And he was quiet and didnât move so you thought he was asleep already as you carefully scooted a little bit closer, trying to feel where he was in the dark. If only this bed wasnât so damn big. You patted around, trying not to move to much as youâÂ
âI can hear you, you know? If you want to cuddle, just say it.âÂ
You stopped moving immediately. âShut up.â You muttered, frowning at him even though he couldnât see it. You could see his faint silhouette in the dark, so you knew when he turned on his side to face you.Â
âWhat is it, wife? You need some warmth on this cold, cold night?â He asked in that mocking tone of his.Â
âNo.â You answered, lying. Because yes you did.Â
He muttered âstubborn bratâ under his breath and then grabbed you and pulled you close until your back was completely pressed against his chest. His warm, comfy chest. You bit back a sigh of relief once you felt his body heating wrapping you in a cocoon.Â
âI saw you messing with the thermostat.â You admitted.Â
âOh?â
âYes. You make it cold on purpose.âÂ
âOh no.â He mocked. â Why didnât you fix it then?â He asked, and it hit you how childish this was. He leaned in just enough so that his lips brushed against your cheek when he spoke. âCould it be that you like cuddling with me?âÂ
âShut up.âÂ
He scoffed, finally wrapping his arms around you, but you hissed upon feeling his metal arm on your body. Â
âItâs cold.âÂ
âWarm it up for me then.âÂ
âWhatââÂ
You stopped talking the moment Bucky grabbed one of your legs and hooked it on top of his, spreading your legs to make room for his hand as you both remained on your sides, with him spooning you from behind.Â
His metal hand found itself sliding into your shorts, past your underwear and he cupped you with such confidence and authority that you couldnât help leaning into and grinding into his touch. His other hand slid under your pillow and down so he could grab and give your breast a firm squeeze.Â
Fuck. His hands felt like they were touching you everywhere.Â
âI told you Iâd take care of you if you behaved.â He whispered into your ear. âTime for a little reward, wife.âÂ
He slid two fingers inside you, you gasped at the feeling of him being knuckles deep inside you. You whined as he stretched you a little, moving his fingers around until your hips were moving on their own, trying to get him to move some more.Â
He chuckled. âThat feels good?â He murmured into your ear.Â
His voice, his warmth, the softness of his embrace, the unhurried way his fingers were moving in and out of you, sliding over your clit and stroking your walls like he had all the time in the world.Â
Your hands wrapped around his metal wrist, keeping his hand in place as you rode his fingers the way you wanted. Hips moving forward and causing his fingers to slide in and out, while you moaned and whimpered.Â
His lips brushed against your cheek over and over again as he whispered against your skin, âSee how nice it is when you behave? Hmm? You can have me whenever you want, baby. Just be good for me, and Iâll do anything for you.âÂ
The animosity between you was forgotten at this moment. Here, in this dark room the past didnât matter for a few minutes. Nothing mattered, just that you wanted something and he was giving it to you.Â
His thumb caressed your clit, teasing it a little more until you cried out, âBucky, pleaseâŚâÂ
He froze. You did too. Then he chuckled and said, âSo all is takes is a little finger fucking and now you have manners and you call me by my name?â He sounded just as annoyingly playful as you knew he would.Â
âOh fuck you!â You spat, then immediately let out a loud moan as he sped up and really fucked you with his fingers until you were a whimpering mess. âPlease, please, pleaseâŚâÂ
âWhat did I say, huh?â He hissed. âKeep acting like a fucking brat and youâll be treated like one.â He kept his fingers moving in and out of you. âI planned on really taking care of you tonight, but you know what? This is all youâre gonna get.âÂ
Your moans and whimpers got louder and louder until you began clenching around his fingers, coming undone with a loud cry of his name. Body shaking and your hips grinding down on his hand as you savoured the last moments of your orgasm before he pulled out and pulled away from you.Â
You thought heâd go right back to sleep but then you felt him get out of bed. âWhere are youâ,âÂ
âIâll fix the temperature.â He mumbled, sounding annoyed. Rightfully so. âGo to sleep.âÂ
And that was the last you heard or saw of him until the morning because you passed out right after. You didnât even know if he returned to bed or not. Not that you cared much.Â
Right?Â
âÂ
Things changed after that night.Â
A lot changed actually. Bucky had, miraculously, managed to uproot ten years of your life from elsewhere and planted it right here in the city. He took you to the building heâd been getting ready for you and it sure was something. You didnât know what you expected but a brand new skyscraper was not what you had in mind.Â
The day he handed over papers and keys and gave you a tour of the huge building was the first time you felt a shift in this⌠bond you shared with him.Â
âThank you.â You simply said as you both stepped into the shiny elevator so he could take you all the up to the top floor, to show you to your new office.Â
Bucky slid his hands in his pockets and turned to face you. âYou think being nice equals sexual favours from me, wife?âÂ
You couldâve told him to shut it. Or told him to go get fucked. But he was trying to be good to you, wasnât he? Even after all he did, he wanted you next to him for some unknown reason and frankly you were tired of resisting. Your entire life was here now anyway. It wouldnât hurt to⌠try. Would it?Â
So instead you answered with, âDoesnât it?âÂ
Bucky narrowed his eyes at you, searching for the catch. He didnât find any so he said, âWeâll see about that.âÂ
And that night he followed you into the shower and kissed you hard under the falling water. âI see you behaved yourself today.â He whispered against your mouth.Â
You pulled him closer by grabbing his neck and said, âDo I get a reward then?âÂ
He didnât say anything, just kissed you hard again and walked the two of you backwards until your back collided with the cold clear glass of the shower cubicle. Then he pulled away, looked down into your eyes. His own filled with lust and hunger as he asked, âYouâre gonna let me fuck you?âÂ
You nodded quickly before saying, âYes. Please.âÂ
He didnât waste a single moment. He grabbed one of your legs and hooked it to his hip, spreading you open. He kissed you senseless again while he pushed inside of you. You moaned into the kiss as he filled you up, his cock stretching you out, making you whine and whimper as he slow fucked you.Â
âFuckâŚâ He breathily moaned against your open mouth while he moved against you. Pushing deeper, in and out of you until your moans and whimpers got louder and louder. The sound of the water falling from the shower drowned out most of it, so he fucked you until you moaned loud enough that he could hear you over the falling water.Â
âPlease,â You cried out. Weeks of frustration wanting to be let out. âPlease, BuckâŚâ Your hands wrapped around his shoulders, and you held on while he fucked you.Â
Bucky almost froze again at the sound of his nickname falling from your lips. But he maintained his composure and sped up into you, feeling your walls clenching around him, gripping his cock.Â
âYouâve been good today,â He said, noticing the way you clenched around him hard at the sound of praise. âYou didnât talk back, not once. Is it because you wanted this cock, baby?âÂ
You whined in response. Feeling his damp skin rubbing against yours, and for a brief moment you wanted to live in this moment forever.Â
âOh, poor baby.â He gave you a messy, heated kiss then said, âItâs all yours, you know? You just have to ask nicely. And you can have it whenever you want.âÂ
âPleaseâŚâ You begged again, your pride nowhere in sight. âPlease, Bucky.âÂ
âCome for me, babyâŚâ He breathed against your skin. His hands held you in place as he pounded into you. âCome for me.âÂ
You did, moaning so loud it was all he heard as he came right after you.Â
âÂ
It became a daily thing over the next few weeks. Youâd seek Bucky out at random times during the day or more often right when heâd get into bed at night.Â
âWere you good today, wife?â He asked, his hands already moving all over you trying to undress you as fast as he could.Â
âYes,â You breathed into his ear, your hands touching him all over his tattooed chest. âI even made you breakfast, remember?âÂ
âThose burnt pancakes count?âÂ
You shut him up by kissing him, pulling him down onto the bed and straddling him, then proceeded to ride him until you were both moaning and spent, too tired to move.Â
â
Things got⌠playful.Â
Oftentimes youâd catch yourself wondering why you werenât actively working to get out of here. But your whole life was here now. Work, your family, and your husband. You didnât hate Bucky as much as you thought you would. Just a few months ago you wanted to kill him on sight but nowâŚÂ
âI saw the new building you work at. He bought you that?â Your father asked one morning when you went over to join him for breakfast.Â
You cleared your throat and answered, âHe did. He moved everything here. My businesses, my staff, all of it.âÂ
âAnd the girls?â He asked, referring to the infamous, feared, and fierce army you had raised and trained over the last ten years.Â
âMy girls are free to go wherever they want to.â You let pride fill you as you thought of them. âBesides, they donât have to be here for me to know I can always count on them. Theyâre just a phone call away.â You explained. âPlus they have work to do. People to save, women to recruit. You know, the usual.âÂ
âIâm proud of you, you know?âÂ
You smiled at your father. Then a few moments passed and you couldnât help but ask, âWhat happened after I left? Where is the rest of Buckyâs family?âÂ
Your father looked surprised. âHe didnât tell you?âÂ
âTell me what?âÂ
Your father shook his head. âIt doesnât matter now. Theyâre all gone anyway. Plus the boy, he⌠he treats you right, doesnât he?âÂ
You nodded. Then left it at that. You wanted a peaceful morning with your father, you didnât want to ruin it by insisting he tell you about whatever it was that he wanted to keep in the past.Â
â
But it bothered you, knowing that something happened while you were gone that you knew nothing about and everyone refused to tell you about it.Â
All except one man. Your beloved friend, Sam.Â
He showed up one morning, demanding to see Bucky.Â
âHe said he has an important phone call to attend to. With someone named Steve. Heâs been outside for over an hour now,â You explained to Sam, who stood at the foyer looking disappointed, âIt looks like heâll be out for quite some time.âÂ
Sam frowned, and sighed. âHe said to come over for a round of golf.â He sounded like heâd been betrayed. âEver since he started doing business and being friendly with that Steve guy,â Sam complained, âThat bitch has been trying to steal my best friend.âÂ
You chuckled and grabbed his hand to lead him further into the house. âIâm sorry my husband ruined your playdate, Sammy. But you can hang out with me.âÂ
Sam reluctantly agreed only after you promised to make him blueberry muffins. He liked those ever since you were kids.Â
He agreed to help, and you both had a nice, comfortable conversation going while you worked. You caught yourself shaking your head a few times thinking about how just a few months ago if someone had told you youâd be in Buckyâs kitchen making muffins you wouldnât believe it.Â
But here you were now.Â
Then Sam casually said, âIâm glad you two worked it out, you know? Youâre so perfect for each other. Even back when we were kids, remember how everyone used to tease you two and say you would surely marry one another?â He laughed. âI mean after he told me all about how you heard him on the phone with me by the pool, I was worried you might never clear up the misunderstanding.â He chuckled, keeping his eyes down as he lined the muffin tin so didnât see the way you froze. Sam continued, âI thought thatâs why you left when I heard about your sudden disappearance. Butââ
You cut him off, heart racing as memories of that night came flooding back in. âSam⌠what do you mean on the phone with you?âÂ
Sam looked up, frowning. âThat night of your twentieth birthday. Remember how you found Bucky by the pool? He was on the phone with me that night. He was so angry when he told me what his family was planning to do to yours, how they were going toâ,â Sam cut himself off as the realisation set in. âDid he not tell you the truth?âÂ
Your heart pounded. Something was wrong.Â
âTell me what truth?âÂ
Samâs eyes softened. âOh, I shouldnât be the one toâ,â
âSammy, please.â You begged in a whisper. âEven my father refuses to tell me anything. I have the right to know. What happened?âÂ
Sam tried his hardest to make sense as he told you everything in a rush. âLook, something went wrong back then. Buckyâs family began siding with the rivals and they were trying to take your father down. They tricked your dad into thinking that getting you and Bucky married would be a good idea and well, your father chose to believe his friends so he made that announcement at the party.â Sam sighed, âBut Buckyâs family were planning something really bad. They were going to use the wedding as an excuse to gather all your family in one place and⌠end all of you. Just so theyâd be able to expand their territory. Bucky found out about this plan and he was pissed. So that night, he called me. To vent.âÂ
You felt your eyes begin to water.Â
Sam continued. âBut then you found him. I remember him whispering to me that you were doing a terrible job at hiding behind a plant or some shit. Then your huge gown gave away your hiding spot. But given you were listening, Bucky decided heâd get you annoyed enough to have you at least try to call off the wedding which would buy us some time to figure out what to do. Thatâs when he began saying those things about you. Trying his hardest to sound like he truly did not want to marry you.â Sam sighed, âI mean there might have been a better way of doing it rather than fake dialogues on a phone call, but we were twenty year old boys. We didnât know better. We didnât know youâd write that note and just disappear.âÂ
What the actual fuck.Â
âSamâŚâ You whispered in disbelief.Â
He shook his head. âPlease tell me you didnât truly believe all that. He lied when he said those things that night, you know? Bucky liked you ever since we were kids. You don't remember how he used to get mad at me whenever I was around you for too long? How he always ignored your hiding spots when we played just so youâd win at hide-and-seek? You donât remember how he used to bully your stupid boyfriends as we got a older?âÂ
You couldnât believe any of this. But Sam would never lie to you.Â
âWait,â Sam put the pieces together. âSo you didnât know about any of this?âÂ
You closed your eyes and sighed, âI didnât. I heard all the things he said that night and⌠I had spent my entire life loving him and I thoughtâŚâ You sighed. âI was young and stupid and heartbroken so I just left.â Then you explained. âI got back recently, Bucky made this whole show of raining down bullets at my fatherâs house and, well, we kinda got married that same day, in my fatherâs destroyed foyer.âÂ
âYou didnât talk to each other this whole time?â Sam was in disbelief. âOh for fuckâs sake. And I thought Bucky just never mentioned you while youâve been gone because⌠well, heâs not exactly good at the whole heart to heart thing. Heâs Bucky.âÂ
Your surprise morphed into anger really quickly. âI need to find my husband.â You said, quickly walking out of the kitchen.Â
Sam yelled behind you, âI'm gonna take this muffin batter and go before he shoots me after he finds out I told you all this!âÂ
You just yelled back, âBye Sammy, I love youâ
Samâs voice sounded distant as he yelled back, âDonât let him hear you!âÂ
You ran out to the back, where Bucky said he would be. And you found him by the pool. Again. The sight of him standing there gave you dĂŠjĂ -vu. Except he wasnât your twenty-year old crush, in a black suit, arguing with who turned out to be Sam, on the night of your birthday anymore.Â
He was older now, your husband, wearing dark trousers and a loose white-button up shirt, standing by the pool with the sun setting behind him. You stood on the patio, for a second more, admiring him. The metal hand casually shoved in his pocket and his heavily tattooed arm held a phone to his ear.Â
You called out, no longer containing your anger. âYou absolute piece of shit!âÂ
Bucky looked towards you and just frowned, before rolling his eyes. Then said on the phone, âHang on a minute, Steve. My wifeâs angry at me again.â He lowered the phone to his chest and whispered to you, âWhat is it this time?âÂ
âHow long were you going to keep the truth from me?â You accused him. âWhy didnât you just tell me?âÂ
He raised the phone to his ear again and said, âIâll call you later Steve, something came up.â Then he hung up, tossed his phone onto one of the lounge chairs before turning to face you again. âDonât get madââ
âStop telling me what to do!âÂ
He sighed. âDid Sam tell you anything? I saw his car coming in earlier.âÂ
You hissed, âOh leave him alone! Heâs a good man who doesnât lie to me!âÂ
Bucky shook his head, understanding that you knew all about what heâd been hiding, and too calmly said, âThey were gonna kill you. All of you. Not just your family members, but the guards, the family friends, the members of your family who arenât even in this life â all of you. I had to do something. My folks were wrong, I couldnât let innocent people die just because my family got too power hungry.âÂ
You took a step forward, âWhy didnât you tell me before I left? I wouldâve talked to someone.âÂ
âWe barely even talked to each other as we got older. I thought you wouldnât believe me.âÂ
âBut you couldâve at least tried to say something!âÂ
He was quiet for a moment. Then said, âI came to see you the next day.â He confessed. âThe morning after the party. But your father had found your note and youâd already left. You never mentioned exactly why you left in the note, so I let him think it was because of me.â He explained, âSince there would be no wedding I didnât have to worry anymore. But the threat remained. So I goaded your father into a fight. He took the bait and tried to shoot at me. He missed, of course. But enough people heard about it so he ended up declaring war against my family.âÂ
He paused. You listened quietly.Â
âNo one knew it was all because of me. But at least from then on, your father was more cautious. And he began hating my folks. And they couldnât keep pretending to be his friend for much longer either. All the truth began spilling out. Soon the city was divided and the attacks began. Allies became enemies, just like that.âÂ
You were quiet. Processing everything. All of that shit happened and you were not aware.Â
For some reason, you asked, âDuring those attacks⌠Is that when you lost your arm?â
You only realised youâd been stepping closer and closer to him when he raised said metal arm and touched your cheek gently. He smiled and said, âNo, baby. That was a different time.âÂ
You had a tear sliding down your face. He wiped it away. âWhat happened then?â You asked.Â
âMy folks didnât stand a chance. Your father was not only angry and betrayed, but he was also sad that he lost you because of them, or me.â Bucky explained. âIt got⌠really bad. Your father lost a lot of his guys. Then he got angrier. So he stopped responding to the petty attacks and came after my folks directly.âÂ
âHe killed them?â They were his friends once.Â
Bucky said, âHe still doesnât know I helped him all the way until the end.âÂ
âBut he spared you.âÂ
Bucky smirked. âHe just could never catch me.âÂ
âBut your familyâŚâ Bucky went against his own you realised.Â
âThey were bad people. Not just because of what they planned to do to you butâŚâ He sighed. âThey were doing bad things in the background. Dealing in substances, and people.â He spared you the gory details.Â
But you understood. Â
âWhy didnât you tell me all this that day we got married?âÂ
âYou wouldnât have believed me. You had just spent ten years hating me.â He shrugged. âBut hey, it kept you safe.âÂ
You stepped closer to him, feeling tired with all that you felt inside you. âSo you never meant the things you said that night?âÂ
Bucky pulled you close, cupping your face in his hands. âI have loved you my entire life. I never stopped.âÂ
You sniffled, looking up into his pretty eyes. âWe lost so much time. I spent years hating you for nothing.â It hurt thinking about it.Â
He smiled at you, âI shouldâve thought it through better. But I was young and rash, and my family threatened to kill the girl I loved. I thought I was doing the right thing by pushing you away.â He sighed. âI just didnât think I was going to lose you for almost a decade. I was always aware of where you were and what you did in life in those years. I was so proud of everything you did, the name you made for yourself. But I couldnât reach you. You were angry and you hated me. So I waited. And then you came back and⌠I needed you with me. Iâm sorry, I couldnât wait any longer.âÂ
You wrapped your arms around him, shoving your face into the crook of his neck as you let the tears fall quietly.Â
âShh,â He whispered, running a comforting hand down your back. âItâs okay now, Iâm here. Weâre okay.âÂ
âIâve been mean to you.â You whispered. âIâm sorry.âÂ
He chuckled quietly, âAnd I shot at your fatherâs house. Weâre equal.âÂ
âI⌠I love you too, you know?â You sniffled.Â
Bucky pulled away so he could look down at your teary face. âSorry to say this, wife, but this isnât half as romantic as the first time you told me you loved me.âÂ
You frowned. âWhat?â Did you talk in your sleep? Oh no. Did you? âWhen did I say it?âÂ
âWe were seven, playing in the hedge maze in your fatherâs backyard.â He smiled, thinking about that day. âHe had just had a new water fountain placed in there, and you wanted to show it to me. You must have thought it was pretty and that I needed to see it too. Then you dragged me all the way there and told me you loved me.â He smirked, âSeven-year old you would be disappointed in you right now.âÂ
A chuckle escaped your lips at the faded memory. âI wish we could go back in time.âÂ
âWell, we canât. But we can have the rest of our lives together.âÂ
You sniffled again, wiped your tears. Then nodded, and leaned in for a kiss. Deepening it the moment he kissed you back. Your fingers found their way into his longish hair and you gently tugged at his roots.Â
He smiled into the kiss when you whispered against his lips, âI like you with long hair.âÂ
âI see youâre being nice again,â He murmured in between kisses, âDoes my wife need something?âÂ
You giggled this time. âI want you, Buck. Just you.âÂ
âYou have me.â He said. âAlways.â

confessions - Lee heeseung

Pairing: Heeseung X fem reader!
Warning: smut, protected/unprotected sex, breeding kink-ish, cursing, jealousy, cream pie, fuck buddies, hee takes condom off mid fuck.
WC: 2k Drabble
-
Fuck buddyđ
: You free tonight?
Your fuck buddy heeseung hit you up like he did almost every night with the idea of you and him hooking up.
Except tonight was a little different becauseâŚ.
You: No, I have a date.
You left a quick reply and finished getting ready for your date. Even though heeseung was your fuck buddy, you still went out on dates.
The agreement between you and heeseung allowed for you to keep your options open, all while having access to mind-blowing sex.
It was a win-win situation.
Fuck buddyđ
: date?
You: yeah, one of the guys at work asked me out
Fuck buddyđ
: and you said yes?
You: yeah??? is that a problem
Fuck buddyđ
: no problem, itâs just why are you going out when you have me?
You: for sex, but weâre not together, and recently, Iâve been looking for commitment, not just meaningless sex.
Fuck buddyđ
: Fine, enjoy your date then
You left the conversation at that or else youâd be late to your date.
The whole time, you couldnât really enjoy yourself cause he didnât make you laugh like heeseung did. He didnât look at you like you were the only girl in the room like heeseung did while he fucked you in the solitude of his bedroom. He made inappropriate jokes and even wanted to split the bill.
He wasnât even half as good as heeseung.
Even if you and heeseung werenât dating, heâd still bring over takeout and maybe even buy a movie off an app setting the mood before he took you to his bedroom to give you orgasm after orgasm, one of them being on his tongue and the rest on his cock.
You sighed to yourself.
All you could think about was heeseung. You wanted something more with him than just sex, but you both made a deal that thatâs all it was and no strings attached.
That was fine for the first few months, slowly but surely, you found yourself catching feelings for him.
But you knew it could never work out so you tried going on countless dates just to be disappointed like you were tonight.
Another dud.
This was definitely your last date with him and maybe your last date for a while cause tonight was a disaster.
You wish you had just taken heeseungâs offer.
When you arrived home from that nightmare of a date, you sighed disappointedly, wondering when youâd find a real man.
Well, technically, you already had, but things with you and him didnât cross the line of fuck buddies.
Itâs too bad cause heeseung was perfect. He was funny, nice, and a gentleman. He may not have taken you out, but he definitely ate you out, and heâd always give you the best aftercare, too.
Sadly that was all itâs ever been with him though but youâd take him however you could get him.
You: You still up?
You texted the man you couldnât keep your mind off of the whole night.
Fuck buddyđ
: Yeah, why?
He replied much faster than you would have thought.
You: Come over?
Fuck buddyđ
: failed date, huh? Now Iâm the rebound đ
You: yeah, it was a fail, and youâre not a rebound. Iâm just exhausted from dates, so come over and show me a good time
Fuck buddyđ
: that I can do
Not only did he come over, he showed you a great time.
The moment he stepped in, his lips were on yours, his hands gripping everywhere they could reach, tugging and pulling your clothes off, and stumbling to your bedroom.
You were both naked within a flash. Usually, heâd take his time with you, but not tonight. Itâs almost like he had this pent-up need for you, which he probably did; seeing how you had practically stood him up earlier, thinking back on it, you regret that so much.
He laid you down on the bed gently and that was the only thing that he did that was gentle tonight.
After he laid you out on the bed, he caressed your body, one hand lowering to his condom covered length and aligning it with your wet, needy hole. He fucked into you slowly at first, then speeding up gradually. The louder your moans got his warm skin pressed against your own as he pressed your legs to your chest, allowing his cock to plunge deeper and deeper into your pretty tight cunt. âShouldnât have dressed up for him. He didnât deserve it,â he grunts, squeezing your thighs as his dick slides in and out of you, your wet walls wrapping around him deliciously. âI can fuck you better than him. I can treat you better, t-too fuckâ he breathed out as his sweaty thighs clapped against your ass.
âHee,â you moaned lips pursed as your body tensed and your cunt squeezed around him tightly from the pleasure his cock gave to you.
âThatâs my name. Scream it louder for me, baby. Let the whole fucking world know only I can make you feel this good, not some fucking loser at work,â he pounds into you, his frustration and jealousy fueling his deep thrusts.
He drops your legs to his sides, and you cling onto his waist, nails digging into his back as you encircle his body with your legs, making sure he doesnât move from his spot. âIsnât that right? Just meâ
âYes, only you,â you whimpered, eyes rolling back in your head, body covered in sweat as you felt like you were on the verge of tears from how well he fucked you. He was right no one could ever do you this good Lee heeseung was gifted in every department, and tonight only proved no matter how many dates you went on, they would never compare to your fuck buddy.
âSay it again,â he groans, fingers toying with pulsing erect clit.
âFuck yes, heeseung just you,â You clench around him, your wet pussy surrendering to the immense pleasure that his thick cock provided.
âThatâs right,â he smirks cockily, rubbing your sensitive clit in messy circles till that heat pools in your lower stomach. âKeep squeezing on me baby cum on your fuck buddy's cock. You know you want toâ
âOh fuckâ your eyes roll back in your head, mouth hung open, expression completely fucked out. âYes, hee, love your cockâ you mewl, your orgasm growing nearer. âOh my god, keep fucking this pussy. Itâs all yours,â you choke out, too lost in the moment to understand the reckless words that are coming out of your mouth, but even if you were coherent, you knew you wouldnât regret it.
âYeah? Give me that pussy, baby; let me fuck it raw; let me claim this pussyâ You nod frantically and with your consent. He pulls out just long enough to yank off the disruptive condom he was wearing and slip back inside you raw.
You both moan obscenely at the feeling of skin on skin, relishing the raw feeling of one another.
After you relinquished yourself to him, he was gonna leave his mark on you and fill you with his cum, claiming you for his own. âThis is my pussy. Youâre all fucking mine,â he grunts, going faster, his cock twitching inside your warm juicy walls, the lewd squelching every time he fucked deeper into you, turning you both on to the max. âHear that?â He thrusts slower so you can both hear how creamy and wet your pussy is. âThatâs my wet pussy from now on.â
âY-yours all yours,â you nod rapidly, looking cock drunk as you take every inch until heâs balls deep within you.
âGonna fill you up, put a baby in you. That way, everyone will know youâre mind, and I fuck you goodâ he speeds up again, the intensity of it all making him lose all self. Control. Your tight, wet heat wrapped snuggly around him was gonna make him cum.
âYes, fuck cum i-inside meâ his eyes roll back in his head, sweat dripping from his body onto yours as he gives you his all.
âFuck baby, gonna make you a mommy,â he moans at the thought of you full and stuffed, his strength wavering as he throbs inside you. âCum with m-meâ he squeezes his eyes shut in pleasure. A few more thrusts and heâs cumming in you as he rubs your clit, setting you off immediately after, your cunt clenching tightly, milking his full heavy balls and pulling his cum deep inside your wet pussy.
âYes, hee,â you whine as he continues to cum within your tensing walls, giving you a few more tired rolls of his hips, ensuring to fuck his cum in the depths of your pussy so you have no choice but to take his seed and have a baby by him.
He collapsed on top of you, gasping for air. âNo more dates with fucking losers,â he mumbles into your neck as you desperately cling onto him to ground yourself, panting uncontrollably from the mind-blowing orgasm. âGonna show you what itâs like to be treated like a fucking queenâ he kisses your neck as you slowly stroke his back.
He never intended his confession to be this way, so rushed and messy, fueled by jealousy and anger, but if this is what it took for you to see he wanted something more than a fuck buddy relationship with you, heâd gladly do it again and again.
Heâs always liked you from the start, but once you both agreed to no strings attached, he knew where he stood with you, so he kept his feelings to himself, but after tonight, he was so angry that you were seeing someone else over him he knew you occasionally went on dates and nothing ever came of it, but he was tired of hearing about these fucking losers getting a chance with you and not him and he couldnât keep his feelings for you a secret anymore and heâs glad he finally let them out, he just hopes you feel the same way.
Are you confessing to me?â You tease him.
âIf thatâs what you call it,â he tried to play it off as if his face wasnât heating up in the crook of your neck.
âHee, you could have just asked instead of getting jealous.â
âAnd I was, but after hearing you were going on a date, I got so pissed. I didnât plan on this being my confession, butâŚâ he paused briefly. âI let my emotions get the best of me.â He hugged his arms around you, squeezing gently.
Your heart feels full from his confession, and you hum in understanding, your fingers tickling up his back until you reach his damp hair, playing with the soft, silky strands.
Your silence leaves him feeling anxious, awaiting a response. Meanwhile, youâre content in your own world, basking in the reality that he actually liked you back you hadnât even noticed you didn't confess too.
âSoâŚ..â he pulls away from you to look at your face. âYou want to go on a date with me?â
You cup his cheek with your left hand, stroking his face, and thatâs when all his nerves fade away. You both share a loving smile, and he melts into your touch, the silent confirmation that you feel the same way. âYes, hee Iâd love that.â
And actually, youâre glad you went on that shitty date because, after all, your ex fuck buddy had some confessions to make.

I WANT AN INNOCENT LOVE



.âď¸ ÝË
ââââââââââââââââââââââ
alexandria! rick grimes x fawn! fem! reader
masterlist | kofi
summary: youâre a new addition to alexandria. Rickâs just looking out for his group. Thatâs the only reason he finds himself drawn to you. Nothing else.
cw: LEGAL age gap (it is big, i imagine reader in her early 20s) canon typical depictions of violence, Rick is kinda mean to reader at first, Rick kind of struggles with the age gap a little, dom! Rick, slight possessive rick
tags/tropes: shy and skittish reader, sheâs not used to dealing with people but sheâs not helpless, honestly sheâs just a sweet and soft person who became what everyone becomes in the apocalypse, hurt/comfort, insecurity, touch-starved reader a bit, YEARNING, no saviors or whisperers just Rick and everyone living happily in alexandria. Daryl is also here and heâs kind of like ur uncle bc i love daryl and i say so
a/n: i have nothing to say other than this is so insanely self indulgent itâs not even funny. nobody asked for this but writing it has kept me sane while iâm couch ridden. everything is terrible rn but rick grimes <3333
songs i listened to while writing: We'll Never Have Sex by Leith Ross, Work Song by Hozier (Rick's theme song) you were mine by Esha Tewari, Do I Wanna Know- Hozier's Cover, Somethin' Stupid by Nancy & Frank Cinatra, Lover, You Should've Come Over by Jeff Buckley (i'm so not normal about that entire album) Under Your Spell by Snow Strippers, Little Bit by Lykke Li (the original not the remix)
title taken from Under Your Spell by Snow Strippers
ââââââââââââââââââââââ
â âšâ
You were just a little thing when you showed up at the gates.
All wide-eyed and skittish at the tree-line, clothes hanging awkwardly off your frame. Scuffed and dirty, when Rick goes up to the tower to scout you out.
You donât quite come close enough for anyone to get any kind of information on you. Name, age, where youâve been, what youâre doing at the gates.
These are all questions Rick, as leader, needs answers to.
If he could just convince you to get close enough.
Under different circumstances, heâd just let you do whatever it is youâre planning on doing, but the lurking is starting to make people uneasy. And he figured he ought to do something to ease their concerns. Easiest way is to either get you inside the walls or find answers to those questions.
Youâre real good at staying out of reach, though. And you never stay in one place for long. By the time two weeks have gone by, youâve made it around the entire length of the walls. Just to end up right where you started: the gates.
Itâs just past the crack of dawn- dew is still lingering on the plants and grass and the sunâs rays have yet to actually provide warmth. Rick is up, making his rounds and checking in when one of the guards on rotation lets him know that youâre at the gates. Only time youâve ever been that close.
So theyâre opened, and you amble inâ light-footed and unsure. Honestly, you remind him a bit of Daryl with your obvious hesitance to be in the company of other people and clear inclination towards nature. But where Daryl is hard edges and reclusiveness, youâre⌠softer.
A small group of people âcurious onlookers, mostlyâ forms behind Rick as he saunters towards you, and he watches the moment you see the reality of your decision and begin to regret it.
He comes to a stop a few feet away from you, letting the silence hang in the air for a bit.
He finally takes you in with his own two eyes, without the aid of the binoculars, and he examines. Catalogs the nervous twitch of your hands and scuffs and scrapes he can see on the visible scraps of skin. Eyes the way you worry your lip between your teeth and canât decide if youâre going to keep staring at him or look away- your mind clearly torn between vigilance and submission.
âYou finish your tour of Alexandria?â He asks dryly.
You blink up at him, eyes wide. âAre you the leader of this safe-zone?â
He nods. âSure am.â
You begin fiddling with your fingers absentmindedly. The small motion draws his attention back to your hands, where me notices bandaids practically covering the entire surface of your skin. He files the information away in his head for later.
âAre you currently accepting new members?â
He canât help but crack a smile at your question. The way you phrase it and your nervous demeanor remind him so much of the times before the dead started walkingâ you look like a college student looking for a job, not somebody trying to find refuge here, after the end of the world.
âDepends,â He rests his hands on his hips, and he notes the way your eyes dart to the gun at his side before back up to him, âYou got any skills to offer? You alone? Or do you got a group waitinâ for you?â
Your lip is raw from where you release it from your teeth.
âIâm really good at mending. Iâm a proficient hunter. I can hold my own in a fight. And Iâm alone.â
At the admittance of your lack of company, you shift back a few steps, a subtle re-distribution of weight.
Ainât been socialized a whole bunch, Rick thinks to himself. Heâs willing to bet you either donât have a lot of positive experiences with large groups of people or you just plain ainât been around emâ much.
He hums. âYou killed anybody?â
âWalkers or live?â
âEither.â
You shift your shoulders. Heâs starting to wonder just how many nervous actions you have.
âI donât think anybody lives alone who hasnât killed walkers.â
âAnd the living?â
You donât move, but your eyes look to the ground, not at him.
Shame. Fear.
âTwice.â
âHow come?â
âThey wanted my supplies. Wanted me dead. I decided I didnât want to die.â
He looks you over again. You really are a cute little thing. He thinks, absentmindedly in the back of his head, that something like you shouldnât have bloody, bandaid covered hands. Shouldnât have a kill count.
But he dismisses the thought. The end of the world leaves no room for those unwilling to do whatâs necessary.
He dips his head. âWeâll get you settled in,â He jerks his head to the some of the guys behind him. âTheyâll get you sorted out. Get along, now.â
You slink past him, distance carefully measured as you go.
Your eyes donât quite leave him, though. Thereâs a moment- either you pause or his mind slows. Maybe a bit of both. But the air stills, and your gaze locks on him for the first time since he saw you, nestled in that tree line. The memory is clear and vivid- the sun shining through the trees, dappling you in shades of amber and grey. And then heâs here, and youâre looking up at him, eyelashes fluttering, and the sun has risen just enough that it casts a similar glow, the only difference now he can see up close just how the light catches on your face, just how he knows your features would look so different, so much softer if you were cleaned, if someone minded the cuts and scrapes.
And then you step away, and he snaps out of his reverie. He blinks a few times at your retreating form, shakes his head, and then busyâs himself with other work. Thereâs always something to be done.
But no matter how hard he tries, he canât get the image of you gazing up at him, bathed in the early morning sun out of his mind.
â
A few days pass, and Rick sees little of you. Heâs almost positive itâs on purpose. The few times he does see you, you look scared. And then, generally, you manage to make some sort of fleet-footed escape. The repeated spotting and fleeing reminds him of the time he accompanied Daryl on a hunt and startled a doe.
He canât quite figure out why youâre afraid of him, though. He remembers being fairly decent to you when you arrived, and tried coaxing you towards the gates politely before youâd shown up on your own.
The sight of your scared expression ends up stuck fast in his head, usually super-imposed over the image of you on that morning at the gates. Two different versions of you, neither making any sort of sense.
He decides that itâs probably best that he stick away, if he scares you. Youâll settle, your ruffled feathersâll smooth.
And heâll stop thinking about you.
â
Neither do you settle or does he stop thinking about you.
He watches you from a distance, careful. You just⌠donât relax. Ever. You creep away from every possible opportunity to connect with others like it might grow jaws and bite- you shrink back or freeze. Like you think if you play dead, if you donât move, theyâll leave you alone.
Heâs wondering what you hoped to accomplish by seeking refuge in Alexandria if this is how you act. Youâre going to have a bad go of things if this is your plan. Or maybe you plain havenât even thought that far.
He snags Darylâs arm as he passes by.
âWhaââ
âThe new girl,â Is all Rick says, still watching you remarkably avoid everyone who passes you. âSheâs real skittish.â
Daryl follows his eyeline, finding you easy enough.
âMm. She ainât settlinâ?â
âNo.â
Daryl just hums again. âWell, she ainât got nobody, does she?â
âSo?â
The hunter shrugs. âCanât relax. Ainât got nobody to watch her back, take a watch. Sheâll settle. Might take her a bit of time.â
Rick huffs. âSheâs afraid of me.â
âNo she ainât,â Daryl snorts, âAnd since when does Rick Grimes care whether other people like him well enough?â
Rick doesnât respond, just keeps watching you.
Daryl follows Rickâs gaze, then breathes out a low sigh.
âShe is a pretty little thing, ainât she?â
âThat is not what this is about.â
Daryl levels him with a look. âSure itâs not.â
âSheâs half my age. I could damn well be her father.â
âBut ya ainât.â
âThat isnât the point.â
âThen what is the point, Rick?â Daryl sighs again, crossing his arms. âEither do something about it or move on. You got too many people dependinâ on ya for you to be eyeing up flighty young girls.â
Rick rolls his shoulders. âYou make me out to be such a creep.â
The other man claps him on the shoulder. âThen stop acting like one.â
He attempts to take Darylâs advice to heart. Itâs an annoying truth that Daryl always knows exactly what Rick needs to hear. Not necessarily what he wants to hear, but what needs to be said.
And he is being creepy. He shakes his head as he walks away. Watching you, thinking about you. He canât. Thatâsâ youâre too young to be thinking any kind of thing like that.
No matter how thereâs this half second, before you look scared, where you almost look relieved. No matter how he wants to personally take care of the bumps and scrapes on your face, wants to take off the bandaids and examine whatâs beneath them.
Daryl was right. He needs to focus. Carl, Judith, everyone- they need him.
Youâll be fine. Heâll be fine.
â
Youâve gone missing.
Rick has been doing his best to heed Darylâs adviceâ he stopped looking for you in the crowds, stopped trying to figure you out, stopped watching you from afar. He even made a fairly decent attempt to stop thinking about you. Not that the effort proves especially fruitful, but he tried, damnit.
All of those efforts go straight out the window when Daryl tells him that no oneâs seen you since yesterday.
It takes him two seconds to grab his gun and follow Daryl out the door.
He barely remembers to tell Carl where heâs going, which scares him, because he doesnât quite understand whatâs been so invasive to his mind and day-to-day activities about you. Your eyes, the soft curve of your cheek, how you might feel in his hands.
They cloud his judgment. Make him do stupid reckless things like search Alexandria high and low for any sign of you.
He doesnât find any. He searches the place youâre stayingâ nothing. Only sign of life is the unmade bed and bandaid wrappers in the trashcan by the bed.
He sighs deep and low as he stands over your bed. âThink she had enough? High-tailed it?â
Daryl leans against the doorway. âNah. She likes it here well enough. She ainât stupid enough to leave a good thing like this.â
He raises an eyebrow. âYouâve spoken to her?â
Daryl shrugs. âFew times. She donât like talkinâ too much, but I think she figures her and I similar.â
âShe wrong?â
He scratches his beard. âA little. She fears situations and people the way a prey animal does. Sâ why sheâs a runner.â
Rick mulls Darylâs words over as they scan the rest of the place but, of course, find nothing. There are no signs that you, specifically, live here. Nothing personal. Just the unmade bed and the bandaid wrappers in the trashcan.
The pair of them turn the entirety of Alexandria over in a matter of hours. Heâs just about to call it quits, either wait for you to come back or send out a search in the morning when Daryl comes back over, telling him youâre at the gates.
As in, outside of them.
Opposite of how things went when you first showed up at the gates, people clear a path as he stalks towards you. They give the pair of you a nice, wide bubble. Even Daryl stays a few feet behind him.
The first thing he notices is that youâre covered in blood. From the way youâre holding yourself, most of it isnât your own. Thereâs a backpack slung over your shoulder, but itâs not your usual one.
You wonât meet his eyes.
He stops an arms length away from you. âWhere the hell were you?â
You shift backwards, away from him ever so slightly. âScavenging.â
âMhm, interestinâ,â He says, rubbing his jaw, âBecause the last scavenging party was yesterday. And you came back with everybody, so Iâll ask again. Where were you.â
Your eyes flick up from the ground for a moment, eying the people that have gathered to stare. He watches you mentally count them all, then attempt to put more distance between yourself and everybody else. Emphasis on attempt, because the second you take a step back, you stumble, wincing before righting yourself and going right back to scanning the crowd.
He works his jaw, anger and annoyance simmering just under the surface of his skin. Heâs not going to get anything out of you here.
He grabs your wrist and turns, set in the direction of the medics.
He drags you along behind him, ignoring the little huffs or sharp intakes of pain when you walk a little too hard or too fast on your bad ankle.
You trip a few times as you go, and when you almost take Rick down with you, he sighs, pausing and turning.
The expression you give him is full of fear. He realizes, in the moment, that you might not remember where the medics are, so as far as you know, heâs angry at you and dragging you to a secluded area.
Guilt strikes him hard and fast, right in his chest.
Damn.
Itâs too early to feel guilty about the random girl he allowed into Alexandria. Frightened eyes and shy nature aside.
He shakes his head once. âWeâre going to see a doctor. Here, put your arm around me.â
He has to lower himself a little for you to drape your arm across the back of his neck. Your fingertips brush his shoulder, and he can feel the way youâre shaking.
Itâs slow going from then on, with Rick acting as your crutches.
âWhere were you? And donât bullshit me.â
âScavenging.â
âSeriously?â
âYes,â You nudge the backpack still strapped to your back. âI was⌠looking for something. I canât look for it with the others.â
âWhat the hell is it that you canât look for it with the others?â
âA body.â
Your response hangs in the air, thick and heavy.
ââŚFamily or friend?â
âFriend. Havenât found her yet.â
Something clicks into place in his mental file about you. He feels like he just gained a new piece of the puzzle.
He readjusts your weight over his shoulder, tucking you a little closer and steadfastly pretending he doesnât hear the little gasp you let out at the contact. Whether it was from pain or surprise, he canât let himself think about it.
âDonât go out by yourself. If you need to look, take Daryl with you.â
You sag a bit into him. âOkay.â
He glances down at you from the corner of his eye. Youâre⌠pliant. Youâd agreed quickly, and showed absolutely no fight or unwillingness when he, admittedly, manhandled you. Youâd followed dutifully behind him and then simply allowed him to position your arms the way he wanted them.
Thereâs another little parasite that burrows into his brain right there. Right as heâs got you in his grip.
He slows to a stop, a little question forming in his head. He slips the arm that had been wrapped around your waist away, instead curls his fingers across your chin and jaw. He tilts your head up, looks down at your face, searching it for⌠something.
He meets no resistance. You only stare up at him, doe eyes blinking. He tilts your head to the left, then to right, and still, nothing.
Huh.
He lets go, and you shudder, a full body shiver. And he thinks, in this moment, that he could do whatever he wanted, and you might let him. He could break you, like this.
Itâs a very dangerous thing, he decides. Because he doesnât want to break you. He doesnât want to hurt you. He wants to peel back the bandaids and see whatâs under them. He wants to scrub the dirt from your face and give you soft clothes âhis clothesâ not those tattered rags that hang off your body.
You might let him do whatever he wants, but youâre the one who holds this power over him. Youâre the one who made him sickâ filled his head and clouded his judgement and made him the kind of man he never used to be.
But he canât say any of that. Canât even act on it. Not with someone young enough to be his daughter. He has a daughter for Christâs sake. And a son.
So he just wraps his arm back around your waist and helps you to the medics.
â
âRick,â Daryl says one afternoon, leaned on the post on the porch, âYouâre drivinâ me crazy, here.â
âIâm not sure how Iâm supposed to help with that.â
âThe fawn.â
He raises an eyebrow. âThe fawn?â
âYou know. That nervous little thing you keep pretendinâ you donât want in your bed.â
âDaryl.â
The man just keeps fiddling with his crossbow. âWhat?â
âI canât justâ sheâs half my age.â
âSo youâve said.â
âI got kids to think about, andââ
âCarl donât give a shit and Judith is ten. Only thing sheâs concerned about is sneakinâ sweets.â
He entertains the notion in his head, thinks about what pursuing you might be like.
Something occurs to him.
âShe ever get close to you?â
âNo,â Daryl huffs, always knowing exactly what Rick means, âKeeps about an armâs distance away. No matter what. Sheâs been inchinâ closer recently, but not by much.â
His hand on your face, moving it this way and that without any resistance at all, your body pliant in his gripâ
âHm,â Is all Rick says, crossing his arms.
âWhy fawn?â
Daryl shrugs. âLooks like one. Kinda acts like one, around you.â
âNo she doesnât.â
Daryl levels him with a look. âYes, she does. And based on the way youâve been actinâ, you like it.â
He opens his mouth to refute the point because no, he doesnât like it, he just constantly thinks about how far he could take it, what you would let him do, if he could make you his.
And then he thinks âoh.â Maybe he does like it.
He drops his hands to his hips. âWhat exactly am I supposed to do, then?â
âI donât know. Ainât my area of expertise.â
âYouâre the one who knows her better, said I was drivinâ you crazy.â
âSo? I donât know jack shit about romance, Rick.â
âWell, you keep calling her a fawn. How different can it be?â
Very different, his mind supplies. You know that.
Now itâs Darylâs turn to sigh. âDonât overwhelm her. Sheâs a nervous little thing, but she likes you. Once she figures out you ainât gonna hurt her, sheâll latch on.â
âThatâs specific. You deal with fawns a lot?â
He snorts. âNo. Iâm fuckinâ guessinâ here.â
The two men fall into silence, Daryl fiddling or cleaning his bowâ Rick ainât paying that much attention to him.
Heâs thinking about you. You, you, you. Your eyes and your face and your hands and the figure you carefully keep hidden under layers of clothing, even under the hot Virginia sun.
Fawn, he thinks to himself.
Fitting.
â
He doesnât make a plan or something stupid like that. He just thinks. And then he decides.
âYouâre really coming with us?â Glenn asks, pack slung over his shoulder.
âYep,â Rick says, holstering his gun, âGoinâ stir crazy in there. Just needa get out for a bit.â
Youâre quiet as you get your things in order, but the group doesnât bat an eye. Theyâre used to your silence, it seems.
You canât seem to tear your eyes away from him, though. You look away every time you think heâs looking at you, but heâs good at looking at you out of the corner of his eye, so he sees it.
Throughout the run, you hover near him, never quite going out of range of his field of vision. Heâs impressed by how quietly and efficiently you work- you spot things even he wouldnât have. All the while watching for walkers, and of course, subtly eyeing Rick.
Despite being the leader, he heads up the back and watches for stragglers. He didnât really come out cause he was stir-crazy, anyway.
He came out for you. He wanted to watch you work, wanted to do it with you.
To your credit, you work well with the others. Youâre a woman of few words with them, but you help where you can and stay civil. Even if you donât quite get close to any of them.
Except Rick.
As theyâre scavenging an abandoned house, a few walkers shuffle out from the trees. Not enough to be a problemâ the group outnumbers them easy. But youâre all busy getting supplies and heâs trying to keep an eye out, so he takes them out, one by one.
It really isnât a huge thing for him, couple walkers ainât really a big deal, but you notice.
Your eyes are trained on him, clothes now dirty with blood and gore.
He tilts his head, then makes his way over to you.
âYou, um,â You say as he gets closer, voice a little hoarse, âAre you alright?â
He runs a hand through his hair. âIâm fine. Itâll take more than a few walkers to take me out.â
You blink. âOh.â
He snorts a little laugh. âYou ainât too good at this whole conversation thing, huh?â
You flush, looking away. âSorry. Iâm just not⌠used to having them.â
You look up at him, earnest. âBut Iâve been practicing!â
Oh, lord have mercy over his poor soul. Youâve done a full 180â turned from being afraid of him to very obviously wanting his approval.
âThatâs good, thatâs good. Who you been practicinâ with?â
âDaryl.â
âNow, that ainât no good.â
You frown, shifting in place. âItâs not?â
âWell, itâs good that youâre tryinâ,â He amends, âBut Daryl ainât good for conversation practicinâ. Heâs a little too much like you. Much too inclined to just sit in silence.â
âOh.â
You pause, taking your lip between your teeth and mulling something over in your head.
âWould you, um.â You look up at him, clearly nervous.
And he canât help himself really, from leaning down into your space a bit, a low âHmm?â humming from his chest.
Your reaction is instant. This close, he can see the exact moment a flush crawls across your face, to even the tips of your ears.
And heâd suspected, you know, based on your behavior with him. But thisâ cold hard evidence that he makes you nervous. That you want him on you.
Itâs cute. Real cute.
You steel yourself against your own nervousness, and he wants to coo at you.
âWould you practice with me?â
He leans back against the post, slides his hands into his pockets. âCourse. Ainât much to it.â
You smile. Itâs small, a quiet sort of thing, but itâs there. He made you smile.
You gesture to the house behind you. âIâm. Gonna go back to scavenging. Um. Thanks.â
You turn on your heel, fleeing back into the house. He watches you go, something settling right into place in his chest.
You stick a little closer to him for the rest of the run.
â
After that day, you begin seeking him out. You donât approach him right away, preferring to to trail behind him for a little bit before finally making a move.
The move being a quiet: âHi, Rick.â
Todayâs no different, other than it being a little later when you do find him. Heâs taking a little stroll around, as is his usual. It⌠settles him, to see everything alright with his own two eyes.
Settles him even more when he hears the quiet patter of your footsteps behind him.
He chuckles. âAfternoon, darlinâ.â
Your foot steps speed up, fall into step somewhat beside him. âHi, Rick.â
âHi,â He says, smile tugging at his lips. âHow was your day?â
You clasp your hands behind your back as you walk. âGood. Werenât many walkers on todayâs run. I got something for Judith.â
âOh? Letâs see it, then.â
You take something out of your pocket and hold it out to him.
Itâs a pocket knife. One of those multi-tool ones.
And itâs pink.
âI know itâs a cliche, the girls knife being pink, and she is only ten, but I saw it and I thought of her, andââ
âItâs perfect,â He interrupts before you can start spiraling. âSheâs gonna love it.â
You deflate almost instantly. âOh, good. I wasnât sure.â
You walk for a few minutes before remembering the point of you coming up to him.
âUm. How was your day?â
He huffs a little, too fond to be upset. âFairly decent. Ainât got too much going on now.â
âThatâs⌠good?â
He shrugs. âJust a little borinâ. Howâs that ankle of yours?â
This is usually how your conversations go. A few easy, back and forth questions. Easing you into talking to people, keeping conversations going. Youâve slowly gotten more confident. You talk a little longer, voice sounds a little more expressive.
âFine.â You say, a little too quickly.
He narrows his eyes. âReally? No pain at all?â
Itâs the looking away that sells it. You never look at him when youâre lying. Canât stand to.
âNo. Itâs fine.â
He kicks his foot out a little, the toe of his boot just barely catching your ankle.
Itâs a little more effective than he wanted. You let out a little yelp of pain and stumble forward, ankle almost immediately buckling.
He darts forward, catching you under the stomach with one arm.
You hang there a little, arms dangling.
âFine, huh?â He hefts you up, so youâre back to standing upright, though now, visibly favoring your ankle. âSo whatâd the doctor tell you when I dropped you off?â
âRest, ice, compression, and elevation.â
âAnd which of those four have you been ignorinâ?â
ââŚâ
âHey,â He says, tapping the side of your jaw with two fingers. âDonât lie to me.â
âAll of them,â You wince, âI just didnât want to be useless. I can walk on it fine. You havenât even noticed until now!â
Your voice goes a little high at the end, a little desperate.
He thinks about how animals that are lower on the food rung donât show pain. A deer will break a leg and keep walking until it drops, till it slows too much and something picks it off.
But you ainât an animal, and nothingâs gonna pick you off.
âThatâs true,â He says, âBut that donât make it right. Youâre just prolonging the healing process.â
You look down. ââŚYou were mad. I didnât want to make you more upset by being useless.â
Ah. So thatâs what itâs all about.
His approval, once again.
âIâd rather have you useless for a week than useless forever because you didnât rest properly,â He ignores the hypocrisy of it, the fact that heâs ignored medical advice more times than he can count.
âI really am fine, mostly,â You say meekly, âItâs stopped hurting when I walk. Itâs just a little unstable.â
âI still want you taking it easy for a little, you hear me?â
You nod.
âNah,â He moves, standing in front of you, more than a little in your personal space, âI wanna hear you say it. Use your words.â
Itâs a little test of sorts. To see how youâll respond. What youâll say. If youâll listen.
You swallow, eyelashes fluttering. âI hear you. I understand.â
âWhat are you gonna do?â
âTake it easy.â
âThatâs right,â Youâve been nice and obedient, so he figures you deserve a little reward. âGood girl.â
He hears your sharp intake of breath, watches your eyes get a little glassy.
Aw, thatâs all you wanted. Just wanted to be someoneâs good girl.
His good girl.
He nods towards your place. âGet along, now. Do I have to walk you to your door?â
âNo,â you shake your head. âIâll go. I will. Uhâ bye.â
He watches you scamper away, gait a little uneven, hands clenched at your sides.
I can get used to this.
â
It becomes a little thing, after that.
When youâre not busy with your own responsibilities, youâre usually with him. Either right beside him, or trailing a few feet behind. Your company is quiet and calm, like waves from a lake lapping gently at the shore.
You also begin to settle in with the rest of the group. Youâre still more inclined to be near Rick or, if heâs not available, Daryl, but once you become comfortable talking with people, Maggie and Glenn are quickly added to your slowly growing roster of safe people.
Judith has loved you ever since she found out that youâre the one who gave her the most beloved pink pocket knife, and enjoys babbling and talking your ear off about nothing the way that ten year olds do.
Carl grows to appreciate your presence too, finding solace in the fact that you donât feel the need to fill silence with conversation.
You still act different when Rick is around, though. Especially when itâs just the two of you.
With everybody else, youâre subtly but very strictly independent- despite growing close with the group, you still maintain a slight distance with most of them, and prefer doing things yourself, by yourself. Old habits die hard, he supposes.
But when youâre alone, just Rick and you, those hard edges soften, and your little personal bubble pops. Heâs steadily growing obsessed with the change.
Heâd be lying if he said he didnât enjoy it. Having such a cute little thing follow him around, hanging off his words. Most days, itâs all he can do not to throw you over his shoulder and carry you to bed.
And then one day, he does. Kind of.
It must be the middle of the night, but the second he hears the knock at his door, heâs wide awake.
He hushes both Carl and Judith back to bed, then creeps to the front door with his hand on his gun. He has never, in his entire life, been awoken in the middle of the night to good news.
When he opens the door he sees you. And Daryl, but heâs really focused on you. Youâve got tears streaming down your face, youâre wearing a strange combination of sleep clothes and the clothes heâs seen you wear to do runs. Your boots are on, but not tied.
âWhaââ
âCaught her sneaking towards the gates, all shaken up. Figured itâd be wiser to take her here then back to her place.â
Daryl pats your head once. âDonât do anythinâ stupid.â
Then Darylâs gone, and youâre standing on Rickâs porch, still crying.
âAlright, come here now.â
He barely manages to get the door closed before you fall into him, face pressed to his chest and hands grasping the front of his shirt.
He hesitates for just a moment before wrapping his arms around you.
âShh, shh. Youâre alright, youâre alright now.â
He presses one hand to the nape of your neck, keeping you tucked close as you crack, just a little bit, nearly silent tears staining his shirt and tremors wracking your body.
Eventually, he guides you over to the couch, situates himself before helping you into a more comfortable position. He wraps your arms around his neck, your legs draped across his lap and the couch.
He keeps one hand pressed to your neck, the other rubbing slow circles on your back.
He presses his cheek to the crown of your head, breathing in deep and slow, a curl of satisfaction rising in his chest when you unconsciously mimic his breathing, silent sobs slowing, tremors fading.
Once youâve calmed down enough, he speaks.
âWhatâs got you so worked up, huh? What happened sweetheart?â
The pet name slips out of his mouth unbidden, but honestly, he wouldnât take it back.
âNightmare,â You sniffle. âDaryl was gone and it was my fault and you hated me.â
âWell, none of that happened now, did it?â
You shake your head.
âNo, thatâs right. Darylâs just fine, and I ainât upset with you. Youâre alright.â
You take in a few shaky, shuddering breaths.
He shifts, readjusting and tucking you closer to him. âNow, how come you didnât come to me? Daryl said you were headinâ to the gates.â
You go a little rigid. âDidnât think I was allowed. Didnât want to wake you up for something stupid.â
âOh, none of that now,â He nudges you away a little, taking your face in his hands. He needs eye-contact while he says this, âYou need something, you come to me. I donât care what it is, I donât care what time it is. You come to me, you understand?â
You nod, lip wobbling a bit. âI understand.â
He thumbs your cheekbone. âGood. Now come on. Letâs get you back to bed.â
In the morning, the kids are a little surprised to see your rumpled form at the kitchen table, but both recover fairly quickly. Judith especially, who rejoices at the prospect of someone other than Carl or her father whom she can hold hostage with inane, ten year old questions.
But you never quite shake that haunted look in your eyes. Like there was something elseâ something more in that nightmare, something that dug its little claws in and stuck fast.
Itâs all he can do but pray it doesnât last.
â
It becomes an unspoken thing that wherever Rick is, youâre nearby. Kind of like a little puppy, following him about and hoping for a treat.
He indulges you, because he canât really help himself in the face of those eyes.
He also knows itâs the easiest way to get you to smile, which heâs been trying to bring about more, since the nightmare. Youâve shaken that haunted expression for the most part, but every now and then, itâll come back, if just for a few moments.
Youâve been absent most of the day today, off on a run, and he wishes it didnât get under his skin so much to not have his favorite girl right there behind him.
Youâre his stress relief, and you donât even know it. Donât even do anything really, just kind of linger about with your adorable little face and occasionally help with your cute little hands. Heâs hopelessly obsessed.
Youâre smiling when you get back, bee-lining straight for him.
âWell, well,â He says, resting his hands on his hips, âWhat do we have here?â
âI got you something,â You say, practically vibrating with excitement, slinging your backpack off and rifling through it.
âOh, something for me? Canât wait to see it.â
You pull an honest to god polaroid camera out of your bag.
âYou said once that you wished you had pictures of your kids to carry with you, and I found this, and it still works, and it still has film in it. I checked.â
You thrust it out to him, and he extracts it carefully from your hands, holding it with an almost reverence.
A camera. A working film camera.
You shuffle in place, and he realizes heâs been staring at it in silence for more than a few minutes. ââŚDo you like it?â
âI love it,â He says honestly, voice just a little scratchy, because he doesnât understand how someone can survive the zombie apocalypse, and still end up so damn kind, and so damn sweet. âIâm so touched, sweetheart.â
You beam up at him. If you had a tail, youâd be wagging it. Heâs never understood cuteness aggression until this very moment. He just canât. He wants to squeeze you as hard as he can or just punch a wall or some stupid shit.
God, heâs pushing forty, he needs to get this under control.
âI was really excited when I found it. Tara took a picture of me to test it.â
You pull out a little polaroid picture, film developed, and he takes that with reverence too. In the picture, youâre smiling, that same soft, little smile you do when youâre really happy about something and donât know how to express it. Your hands show two peace signs, a knife clutched in one.
Thatâs my girl, he thinks.
âMight just have to keep this,â He says, dumb smile on his face.
âReally?â
âReally. You know, itâs good luck to keep a picture of a pretty girl with you.â
âPretty?â You squeak, flushing. Itâs so easy to make you flustered. He loves it.
âMhm,â He says, tucking the photo into one of the compartments on his belt, keeping it safe. âReal pretty, Iâd say.â
âOh.â You say, more than a little breathless. âUm.â
Oh, your poor little brain.
âYou need a minute?â He snorts.
âMaybe?â
He chuckles, patting the top of your head. âOh, youâll be fine. Better get used to it.â
âYouâre pretty too,â You blurt, then your eyes widen comically. âNo, wait, I meantââ
He laughs, a real, actual laugh. âMe, a grown ass man- pretty. Thatâs a good one.â
You bury your face in your hands, a tiny little whine escaping your throat.
âAw, come on, now. Donât be embarrassed. Iâm very flattered you think Iâm pretty.â
âSâ not what I meant.â You mumble.
âNo?â He says, prying your hands off your face. âWhatâd you mean, then?â
You look away, unable to meet his eyes.
âYouâre⌠handsome.â You whisper the last part, barely loud enough for him to hear.
âAw, whatâd I do to deserve a young thing like you thinking an old man like me is handsome?â
You mumble something again, a little too quiet for him to hear.
ââŚafe.â
He leans down. âWhat was that, now?â
âYouâre safe.â
Oh.
Thatâs⌠not the answer he was expecting.
But he likes it.
Rick is a leader. A protector.
And you need him.
âI make you feel safe?â He hums, resisting the urge to step closer to you because youâre very much out in the open and he knows how you feel about wide open spaces, especially when thereâs people in them. Heâs torturing you enough as it is. âThat why you linger around me, huh?â
Feeling bolder at his interest, you nod.
âYou make me feel like⌠something special. Protected.â
Yes.
Heâs always known that he needs to be needed. That heâs the kind of man who requires being a leader, taking care of whatâs his, protecting.
To have verbal confirmation that heâs made you feel safe, protected, itâs.
Well itâs a lot more than he can unpack in front of the gates.
âPretty little thing like you needs protectinâ.â
You frown.
âNot because youâre incapable,â He amends, hands raised, âBut because I rather like doing it.â
You lean closer, and he follows, heat risingâ
âPlease, save us all the pain of havinâ to watch, Rick.â
He grins, nose brushing yours, then steps back.
âMaybe stop creepinâ around, Daryl.â He calls to the other man, who just shrugs, ambling on by.
But Daryl does have a point. He doesnât want an audience. Youâre not that kind of girl.
Instead, he reaches down, snakes an arm around your waist and leads you away from the open space, towards his house instead.
âCome on, sweetheart. Think youâd rather be somewhere quiet for what Iâm about to do.â
The heat radiating from your body and the shiver he feels under his palm is all the confirmation he needs.
His little fawn, finally his.

HARLEY SAWYER X PSYCHOLOGIST READER
You have been working at Playtime CO for some years now, you worked as the head department of psychology but most of your work consisted on providing profiles of the children in the lower levels or as your coworker called them, experiments.
Over the years of working with them and knowing what they are being turned into, you've learned to work with them pre and post experimentation. Another thing you've learned through time was to deal with the partner you were assigned for the project. Harley sawyer.
What is there to say about that man. He is the head scientist in the project but he is absolutely horrible at dealing with them, or with anyone. That's how you were assigned to work along side him . He made the experiments and you maintained them under control.
Initially the ones who needed to be under control where you two because of your crashing personalities. While he was a serious control freak and borderline antisocial you one the contrary seemed to not take things seriously, constantly taunting him and the other stuff and with a permanent sarcastic tone in your voice voice.
Of course at first he didn't like you much, and to be fair you didn't make it easy. Everything he said refering to the experiments was refuted by your obsession to keep a mildly stable mental health in the subject.
Dr Harley sighed heavily looking your way with an annoyed look- What now?- he asked
If you keep treating the subjects like that your are going to break them.-you said in the observation room with him while you were both supervising experiment 1355, a young girl turned into a smiley unicorn.
They're toys, they can be fixed easily- he responded as if he had repeated you that phrase for the 11th time (he did)
You know what I mean Sawyer, they are of no use if their minds break-you explained with a calm smile- or have you forgotten what kind of problems an unstable subject could bring?- your asked him, your question mocking him.
It turned out well with Yarnaby or have you forgotten Dr (Y/L/N)?- he said imitating your question
You laughed slowly- ah yes the kid you isolated as your pet, great example Dr-
Harley Sawyer was well known for working alone, he didn't like others company and whenever he got an assistant or a guard, he scared them off by being authoritarian or exposing them to dangerous situation. You were the only one at the company who actually could keep up with him.
In the interviews with the children you would lead the conversation while Harley observed and took notes. In the laboratory you were more of an assistant, helping the Dr with whatever tool he needed or just preparing the chemicals.
Even though he hated to admit it, his experiments have been more controlable and causing less troubles since you started working together.
You would be unbothered by the kids, showing enough compassion for them to not recognise you as a threat, but showing not an ounce of regret in your eyes while seeing how Harley turned them into toys.
Do I have to remind you that compassion is useless in this job?- Sawyer said while closing a wound he had made on the experiment while operating
You haven't realised how much time have passed since your prior conversation have ended. It was strange for the doctor to initiate them, usually preferring silence but you weren't complaining.
Compassion can make a person go through great lengths- you said- But I understand that in this line of work it's nothing but a limit, a wall that needs to be broken in order to obtain results.-
For once in a long time both you and Harley agreed on something.
He finally stopped sewing the toys fresh wound and started reading the inform you had redacted about the psychological profile of the child before the operation- you should do another one once she wakes up (Y/L/N)- he reminded you while reading the little notes and highlights you left about her.
You always reserved a space the paper work to express your personal opinions on the experiment and Harley always read them. It's another thing he started doing, considering your opinions and advice as something worth of noticing.
-Doc...-
-Sawyer...-
-Sawyer??...-
-HARLEY!!-
He looked at you not noticing how he had spaced out of his mind for a moment while reading your report.
What is it?- he asked actually surprised that he was actually distracted enough to not hear you.
I was asking you about the experiment 1322, Doey. How are the three conscience developing? are they getting used to they're new body?-you asked. Doey was your favourite experiment so far, it was the one you have showed more interest in and your involvement with him was way bigger than with others. Sawyer didn't understood your fascination with Doey.
Since you both started developing the project, you had shown special interest in the idea of three people combined in a toy. In fact, the reason you had starting working more time with the doctor was because of your eagerness to see how the experiment would turn out.
You have become much more comfortable with one another, even after years of coexisting with each other in the lower levels of Playtime.
Sometimes he would catch himself looking at you while you were with the kids in the interviews. He observed your calm demeanor through the crystal of the observation room. He could see how the children grew more confortable with you while you were joking.
The cognitive abilities of the toys were improving each day thanks to your work so of course the bosses permitted you both to perform as many experiments as needed.
Another thing Harley noticed about the last week's was how you would spend most of your time testing and conversing with 1322. He had grown so used to your presence that it was getting harder to work without you present.
He would never admit that he missed your sarcastic comments about the designs of the toys or how he missed to call you a germ, his germ, whenever you were getting to annoying.
Sometimes when you went to the cafeteria upstairs to get some coffee or a sandwich to eat, you would get him something too.
You haven't brought anything recently and that was because of your new obsession.
He finally finished the last transformation successfully, now the only thing left was for the experiment to wake up and for you to examine them.
Harley wandered through the corridors searching for the one room he knew you would be in, this time, he was the one bringing you a coffee.
He watched you through the crystal of the observation room. You always insisted on talking face to face with Doey. The mass of doe seemed calmer with you around. The two more peaceful personalities of Doey talked to you, voicing their regrets and fears. Though the violent part of the creature always seemed reluctant to talk to you. Not responding what was asked of him or simply not responding at all.
Dr ( Y/L/N), your presence is required in the observation room number 29- Sawyer interrupted your conversation. Doey seemed afraid for a moment only to turn his expression into an angry one. With a gesture of your hand you calmed him down and signaled silently for Harley to turn on the ice so the doe wouldn't scape.
You exited the room to find your coworker handing you a cup of coffee. You looked at him with a raised brow but accepted it either way.
Well, look who it is.-you said with satisfied grin- I thought you were supervising Yarnaby?- you commented
Yes I was, are you aware of how much time you spend with that... Mass?- he said with contempt- what's so fascinating about him anyways? He's only been trouble.
You're only trouble as far as I'm aware- he rolled his eyes you sipped again- he's a time bomb and I want to be there to see it explode- you finally responded- I want to be the germ that makes him mutate.
Germ... It's a fitting name for you- he laughed with a smooth voice.-
You both stayed silent in the middle of the room, he looked at you calmly while you ended your coffee. He was looking at you trough his glasses without blinking, with his tired eyes.
You looked back at him and when you realised he had his fist raised at you, brushing with his tumb the remaining coffee right next to your upper lip.
Neither of you realised how close you where, the dim light of the room illuminated both of your bodies. Yours against the door and his right in front of you, your external layers of clothing touching lightly.
He got even closer, feeling his breath against your own. His thumb caressing your cheek
He thought about everything that had happened recently. How Pierre and the ones closer to him had started to go against you both in the semanal meeting with the executives regarding the experiments. Pierre's demands being met by your indifference, claiming that you will keep securing the experiments as much as possible.
The doctor remembered how you, just as him, were completely devoted to the project. He had became paranoic for the past months. More irritable, unwilling to socialise with someone who wasn't you or the toys
He got even closer to you, he though he heard you whisper his name. You closed the gap between the both of you. Hands on his shoulders
Lip against lip, his hand still in your face. You felt that Harley was the only human you could trust down here. No one understood you like he did. Your desperation to contribute to humanity, your desire of achieving a more lasting body. One that could endure more.
If you ever shared this with anyone else, you'll probably be in trouble.
Your closeness with Harley and his with you was out of understanding, a feeling of trust and comfortability that had just materialised thought he kiss you were sharing with each other.
He slowly pulled apart, his breathing uneven and one of his locks of hair misplaced a slight smile on his face. His forehead touched yours and he whispered just above your lips- My germ~
Only if you knew... That exact same week Harley Sawyer would be reduce no nothing more than a system, a screen, a conscience.
At the mercy of playtimes desires while you... Well ... Your whereabouts were unknown, even though they knew you didn't get out of the building.
Somewhere... hiding between wires and toy corpses...
I'm in love with the voice of the doctor AKA Harley Sawyer.

Sanemi finding out you pretended to be a boy in order to get trained properly and him falling head over heels for you after
Pairing: Sanemi x fem!reader
Word Count: 4,2k
Synopsis: If there's one thing you always hated, it was being underestimated. Because you're nothing but a petite girl in the eyes of every other demon slayer you stumbled upon with even the sound hashira going easy on you. They left you no choice but to pretend that you're a boy in order to finally get the training you deserve. Little did you know it will be the wind hashira himself who uncovers your dirty secret...
Warnings: it's Sanemi so language, the bonus scene is for those of you who are in desperate need of some spice (no direct smut), last part not proofread because this needs to be published and I'm tired lol
Thank you sooo much for that super cool request, @xxx-oneofthegirls-xxx, I hope you like what I came up with (also, you made me listen to one of the girls nonstop while writing this hehe)
You stare at your foreign reflection in the mirror, cheeks still burning. This looks ridiculous and you know it, your plan so plain and stupid that you regret your decision more and more with each passing second.
But you have to do this.
âDonât overwork yourself, (y/n). Youâll rest here while the others run a few extra miles.â
âBut Tengen-sama, I-â
âHere, letâs get you something to eat!â, Suma cried out.
âYouâre overworking that poor woman, Tengen-samaâ, Mako commented dryly.
âI already told her to take a break!â
Because without pretending that youâre a boy, theyâll never take you seriously. Not when youâre a petite girl, not when everyone treats you like porcelain because of your small frame and gender. You came her because youâre ready to fight, because being a demon slayer is your true destiny. You want to get trained hard, you urge to surpass yourself each and every day.
You stare at your eyes filled with determination in the mirror. Therefore, you need to make sure they see nothing but a normal boy in you.Â
Itâs hard to breathe properly with countless bandages tied around your chest in order to hide your feminine curves to their eyes. Carefully, you tie a ribbon around the ends of your hair and pull them up. Good, now your hair is about shoulder-length. A plain hairband that is convincing enough as a sweat band turns your usual longer hair into a temporary short cut.
Is this enough? Will the mist hashira actually believe you?
Confidently, you change into the uniform you stole from a boy nearby earlier and grab your katana. There is no other way than finding out.
âWhereâs that little girl? Didnât Tengen-sama allow her to continue?â
âHuh, you mean the little wallflower? I bet she gave up when she saw what hashira training really means. She wasnât even strong enough to hold a sword.â
Your heart drops to the floor while your eyes automatically look down in panic and distress. Everyone underestimates you over the sheer fact that youâre a girl. But why? Why would you give up? Why is everyone thinking you arenât strong enough when women like Shinobu Kocho show them how itâs done? You didnât train since you were 4 to get reduced to your gender and height.
No, youâll show them soon enough how good you really are and that youâre no one to be messed with.
âLook at him!â
âWho is that guy?â
âHe fights as good as Tanjiro!â
âIâve never seen him around. Do you know him?â
And you did. Training after training, hashira after hashira. Somehow, you surpassed them all. Despite your small frame, your disadvantage towards the boys with their ability to move freely in the scorching hot sun, you made it.
âIt seems like youâre decent handling your sword. I have no use for you here anymoreâ, Obanai proclaims dryly.
YouâŚyou did it? Youâve been here for 3 days, spent the first day tied to a wall while getting smacked by some useless comrades. But you really convinced him, the serpent hashira, the man a lot of the others were so afraid of.
Your heart jumps up and down in excitement. You convinced him.
âThank youâ, you mumble in reply with deepened voice.
âLetâs see how youâll keep up with Shinazugawa. Now get lost.â
Shinazugawa? Youâve heard that name before. Is thisâŚthe wind hashira? Your eyes widen as you sprint down the forest in the merciless sun. If Iguro Obanai is considered rough, Sanemi Shinazugawa has to be a menace. You heard from countless slayers that went back home as soon as they arrived at his estate, some beaten up so badly that they needed treatment.
For days.
You swallow hard. If this man finds out that youâre not who you pretend to be, youâll be dead. But you have no other choice. After everything youâve been through, you wonât give up because of the wind hashiraâs bad reputation.
âHowâs training going?â, Sanemi mumbles while staring into the distance.
âAll of them are trash. Thereâs only one that is decent, thoughâ, Obanai replies dryly.
âDonât tell me itâs that Kamado brat-â
âNo, Iâve never seen that boy before. No one seems to know who he is. Heâs pretty small for his age and acts even weirder than the others but I canât deny that heâs skilled. Even KanrojiâŚpraised himâ, Obanai presses out.
Heâll definitely never forget you for taking up the space of a full hand-written site in her note to him.
âYou all went too easy on him, then. Iâll mop the floor with his ass when he gets to me.â
âWeâll see about that.â
Your breath gets stuck in your throat. There it is, the estate of the wind hashira. Only him and the stone hashira are left. Only these two until youâre able to drop your false identity and use your newest skills in a real fight. When youâre done here, youâll finally be able to protect your village properly. No demon will ever hurt your friends and family again.
You just have to get through a few more days of training. A few more days with the wind hashiraâŚ
-two days later-
âGet lost, bratsâ, Sanemi barks out in sheer frustration.
Are these losers really supposed to be useful in a fight against Kibutsuji? They arenât even good enough to hold their wooden sword correctly, let alone find the right stance to fight. God, this is such a waste of time, so fucking annoying that he smashes his own wooden sword into the ground roughly.
âFucking useless rabbleâ, he hisses through gritted teeth.
When his blurry sight catches yours, heâs even more infuriated. He really thought the other pillars were too gentle with you. You, with your thin and small frame, with your innocent eyes that almost make you look like a girl. And while you look like the biggest loser of this whole corps, you manage to fight better than all the others.
âEnough of this bullshit, weâre using real swords nowâ, Sanemi barked at you while already grabbing his sharp katana.
âFine.â
You didnât storm towards him, didnât act out of confidence or rage. You stayed so calm that Sanemi didnât know how to act for the split of a second.
The split of a second. This minor moment was enough for you to lift your blade and scratch his cheek ever so slightly.
âDid heâŚJust hit the wind hashira?â
âThis canât be true. A strange guy like him, hitting one of the most powerful demon slayers?â
âYouâŚYou have some fucking nerve, little brat! Iâll make you pay for this!â
Oh, how often he tormented you. Made you stand up in the middle of the night for a fight, forced you to stand up against all your comrades. He pushed you over your limit over and over, made you suffer in a way he never did before.
But you still stand your ground. Still, you grab your wooden sword and follow the others inside at dawn as if nothing happened.
And it simply drives him insane.
âYou, little brat!â
âYes, Shinazugawa-sama?â
Your guts turn in an instant. In contrast to the other hashira training, this feels like a trip to hell and back. It almost seems as if the wind hashira made it his mission to let you suffer more than anyone else. What have you done to deserve his anger? Did you act out of line, aloof? It has to be the fact that you injured his cheek during your fightâŚ
âNever mind. Get out of my sight.â
He doesnât have to tell you twice. Instantly, you turn on your heels and make your way to dinner. Maybe youâll finally have to chance to wash yourself tonight. With all those unexpected training sessions and the wind hashira torturing you until far past midnight, you didnât even find the time to take a bath. Urgh, you canât wait to finally take those bandages off and to wash your itchy scalp. All that sweating without the relief of a jump in the cool lake nearby is definitely hard to endure.
But tonight. Tonight youâll finally get the chance to escape the merciless gaze of Sanemi Shinazugawa.
He doesnât know what keeps him up tonight. Is it the full moon that lights his room, his still enraged heart? Itâs still hard to believe that youâre acting up like this, that you manage to hit him. Out of all the jerks he trained, why does it have to be the smallest and therefore weakest one?
Maybe all he needs is letting his anger out on you. Sanemi storms into the dormitory wearing nothing but a casual yukata. He might hunt you around the lake for a few rounds or lets you practice your sword bows until you turn blue-
But his eyes donât get greeted by your hair sticking out underneath youâre blanket.
âWhere the hell are you, brat?â, he hisses to himself.
âThis feels like heavenâ, you moan to yourself while you dip your head into the cool water.
You never cared about getting covered in mud or dried blood sticking to your skin. But oh, the feeling of cleaning yourself up again after a rough day is just unmatched. Gently, your fingers brush through your wet hair, free yourself from all the dirt of those last days.
When will you be able to return? After that, only the stone hashira is left. How did you manage to land all the way over here? Hiding behind the identity of a boy no one know in order to get treated equally. Your efforts were definitely worth it. With those countless new techniques youâve learned, youâll finally be able to stand up against the demons that haunt down your village on a regular basis. Finally, youâve got the education you deserved.
âYou have to be fucking kidding me.â
All color drains from your face in an instant. You donât have to look past his knees to know who stays right in front of you. Why didnât you hear him coming? How did he manage to show up in front of you without you noticing?
âS-Shinazuwaga-samaâ, you breathe out.
It doesnât matter how he found you. With your hair open and your upper body barely covered by the water, he already saw through your well-hidden secret. Or better said, your lie.
âYouâre so dead.â
You canât escape. In the matter of seconds, he is with you in the water and grabs your wrists roughly.
âYou lied into our faces this whole time?â, he hisses through gritted teeth.
âI had to-â
âYouâre nothing but a little girl!â
âYou left me-â
âWhat else do you have to hide? Are you even a demon slayer? Iâm totally in the mood to kill you right on the spot-â
âYOU LEFT ME NO CHOICEâ, you finally blurt out.
âNo choice? Are you out of your goddamn mind?â
âTengen-sama treated me like porcelain because Iâm a woman, but I didnât want that! I wanted to train like the boys do, I wanted to suffer like everyone else! How am I supposed to become a decent swordswoman when everyone goes easy on me because of my gender!?â
âYouâŚYou lied to us.â
âI did.â
âYou arenât a guy.â
âIâm not.â
Thick silence hangs between both of you, only interrupted by sharp and heavy breaths. What now? Will he send you away in dishonor or even worse, exclude you from the corps completely? Youâve worked so hard to even get accepted, poured your heart and soul into those past days. All of this, vanishing in thin air?
âPlease donât send me awayâ, you finally press out.
âAre you dumb? Ainât no way Iâm letting you stay-â
âI canât return home in dishonor. I did all of this to be able to protect my family and village. If I return home like thisâŚâ
You canât finish your sentence, your throat suddenly feeling so tight that you even fail to breathe.
âGet out of my sight.â
âBut I-â
âI said get out of my sight!â, he screams on top of his lungs.
You flinch backwards and almost trip into the water. Talking doesnât do much. If youâre not leaving the next few seconds, he might drown you.
With a heavy heart you leave the water, carefully hiding behind a tree until youâre fully dressed again.
âWhatâs your real name?â, he shouts towards you harshly.
âMy name is (y/n)â, you mutter, not daring to look into his cold eyes.
And then you stumble back. Back into the dormitory you know so well by now. Back into what might be the last night at the demon slayer corps for you.
âRemember that skilled guy you told me about?â, Sanemi mumbles while staring at the ground.
âYeah. What about him?â
âItâs not him. Sheâs a fucking girl that pretended to be a guy.â
It still feels like a feverish dream. Why did nobody realize sooner? Not even himselfâŚGod, heâs such an idiot for not throwing you out instantly. You lied straight into his face, you lied to the whole demon slayer corps all this time. You deserve to leave, you deserve all that hatred and disgust.
âThatâs actually quite impressive. How did you find out?â, Obanai comments dryly.
âI caught her bathing. Said she didnât want to get differently because sheâs a girl.â
Just the thought of seeing you there lit by nothing but moonlight, your long hair draped like a veil around you and your female curves he didnât even know existedâŚ
âThat are some unexpected news. Do the others know?â
âI wonât tell âem. Iâll kick her out the corps when I return.â
âWhy kicking her out? No matter if boy or girl, you canât deny sheâs the most promising one until now. Why not keeping her?â
âKeeping her?â, Sanemi repeats in sheer disbelief.
âAinât no way Iâll ever speak to a filthy little liar like her again.â
âHer plan worked, though. And I hate to admit it, but she did pretty good.â
Sanemiâs furious eyes dart towards Obanai in nothing but frustration. You fooled every single hashira until now. You hold so much potential that eventuallyâŚWould you survive as his tsugoko?
âIâll leaveâ, he finally speaks out before turning his back on Obanai and storming away.
What the hell is he supposed to do?
How utterly dumb you feel sitting on that porch with your wet hair still open in the cool breeze far past midnight. You have no idea where he went, if heâs out to inform the head of the corpse about your behavior or even worse, your own family. Is it too early to pack your few belongings, to leave before he comes back? You definitely canât stand another round of getting yelled at by the wind hashira.
âWhat are you doing here outside, brat?â
Fuck. He steps out of the darkness like an unpromising shadow with his face as hard as stone.
âI canât sleep anywayâ, you murmur.
âIâm so fucking mad at you for shitting me like this. Pretending youâre a guy while youâre just a girl.â
âIâm not just a girlâ, you clarify sharply.
âShut the fuck up. Youâre a lying little brat but-â
He takes a deep breath in while sitting down next to you.
âBut youâve got what it takes. Iâve been looking for a decent tsugoko for quite some time now and-â
You canât believe your ears. This man canât possibly be the wind hashira you know by now, the man who looked like heâll drown you any minute just a few hours ago. He canât suggest to take you in as his tsugoko, right? Thereâs absolutely no way this man wants to train you on a regular basis-
âAnd maybe youâre that decent fit.â
Oh.
âMe, as your tsugokoâ, you repeat his words in order to make them sound real.
âIâll still kick your ass for lying into my face like that, thoughâ, he adds aggressively.
Never in your life would you ever dreamed of being the apprentice of a hashira. You always worked hard, always made sure to develop your skills with everything you do, but being considered a tsugoko? Of the wind hashira, who never takes in a student? Who seems so rough and cruel but allowed you to handle your katana even better?
âIâd love thatâ, you finally breathe out.
âIâm beyond thankful youâre e-â
âShut up immediately. A yes is enough. Youâll stay here with me, then.â
âY-yes, Shinazugawa-sama!â
âNo go to sleep, I canât beat your ass when youâre tiredâ, he mumbles before getting up and leaving while your feelings are still over the place.
You, the tsugoko of Sanemi Shinazugawa?
-a few months later-
âGimme your best shot now, brat!â, he barks at you.
Sweat runs down your forehead like a waterfall, your heavy panting tasting like blood. Just one more hit, one more strike and youâll get him.
âThunder breathing, fourth form-â
âToo slowâ, he comments next to your ear.
Within the split of a second, you find yourself just inches away from the dirty ground with Sanemiâs arms keeping you from falling.
âStill not fast enough. Do it again.â
Mindlessly, he still drops you into the dirt with his sword casually draped over his shoulder.
You lift yourself off the ground with trembling limbs. There you are again, deep within your trip to hell and back. What you expected when agreeing on being the tsugoko of Sanemi Shinazugawa?
You grab the handle of your sword even tighter and storm towards just like you did hundreds of times before with the smallest of smiles creeping up your features.
Well, exactly that.
-steaming hot bonus: meeting in the lake at night-
You allow the cool water to caress your countless wounds gently. How good it feels to finally bathe every single day instead of once every few days. When the truth came out and everyone started to realize that you arenât a boy, you regained a part of your freedom along with the merciless training of the wind hashira. Each and every day, he tortured you and others with his cruel training methods before you slide into the lake before the sun sets and go straight back to sleep.
Not today, though. It has to be almost midnight by now, the stars in the sky glimmering so magnificent that you canât look away. Sanemi allowed you to visit your family and friends today. As you have learned, demon attacks have subsided since the sister of Tanjiro Kamado mastered the sun. And even though that means your loved ones will be safe, you canât deny the slight turn of your guts. This means a war is around the corner, that Muzan Kibutsuji himself might come for all of you.
But this is nothing you should think about now. Not when you just returned and desperately longed for a bath. You dip your head into the cold water, moan to yourself as the water surrounds you fully-
âWhat the hell are you doing here, brat?â
Sanemi.
Out of instinct you cry out while burying everything except for your head inside the dark water. Youâre butt-naked. How long has he been here already? AndâŚhas he seen you? Suddenly your whole body feels hot against the cool water around, cheeks turning dark red.
âCalm down, idiot-â
âHow long have you been here already!?â
âWhat? Iâm always taking a bath around this time. Youâre the one who shouldnât be hereâ, he clarifies dryly.
There he stands. Droplets of water run down his bare chest and almost make him shimmer in the moonlight. His wet hair stick to his face so delicately that you canât force yourself to look away. He looksâŚhot.
Hot?
âI-uhâŚI just returned fromâŚhomeâ, you stutter.
âHope your family is fineâ, he mumbles along with slicking his hair back.
Within these past months, youâve caught a glimpse of Sanemi youâve never witnessed before. This man isnât as cruel as everybody makes him look, his words arenât always meant as harsh as they sound. Sanemi has a very tender side. Especially when his eyes soften for the blink of a moment, you couldnât help but feel lost.
âThey are. Apparently, the incidents with demons involved lessened when I departedâ, you press out.
God, youâre acting ridiculous and you know it. Sanemi is your teacher, your training partner. Even though youâre living under the same roof (he even gave you an own room), there arenât any romantical feelings between both of you.
âGood to hear. Iâll let you rest a little tomorrow morning. You have to be dead tired.â
âIâm fineâ, you lie in an instant.
Truth is, youâre so drained out that the water is the only thing thatâs able to keep your knees for failing you at the moment. Not only from your journey, but all those countless harsh training sessions, dueling yourself over and over with Sanemi and the others. But youâd never admit it, would never say it out loud.
âYouâre probably the baddest liar out there. Your cheeks are red as hell, (y/n)â, Sanemi comments dryly.
You donât dare to move when he stretches out his hand. Enough to gently caress your cheek, enough to cause an explosion in your stomach.
Did Sanemi just touch you? Tenderly?
âIâŚN-noâŚIâŚâ
You canât find the words. In fact, you are too distracted to care about something like words. Slowly but surely, he draws closer with his perfectly formed chest exposed to your hungry eyes.
â(y/n), IâŚThereâs actually something I wantedâŚWellâŚFuck!â
Is that really Sanemi Shinazugawa, stumbling over his own words? And why is it him whoâs blushing at the moment?
These past few months made it really easy for you to actually respect the wind hashira. Not only his frightful skills when handling the sword, but just him. Him, when heâs brushing the fur of the cat that visits his estate from time to time. Him, when he tucks you into your blanket when assuming youâre already asleep. Him, when checking on you in his own unique way.
How ridiculous to even think about him like that, to even allow your heart to jump up and down in joy. But you canât help yourself. Despite the way you despised him when the two of you first met, you really started to love this man with all your heart.
â(y/n), youâre a pretty decent womenâ, he begins again while drawing closer.
âWell, IâŚThank you?â
A decent woman? Is that what he thinks about you?
âI still canât believe you lied to me about being a girl, thoughâ, he barks at you.
Oh.
You hate the way your heart drops. Were you really dumb enough so think he might have something to say, that he might tell you he has feelings for you as well? How ridiculous, how absolutely dumb.
âI think I should get going. Itâs been a long dayâ, you mumble.
Itâs probably the best to get away from here as soon as possible. But just when you start moving towards the shore, his hand grabs your arm tightly and twirls you around.
Right against his bare chest.
âDonât you dare leaving now, bratâ, he hisses through gritted teeth.
âIâŚthereâs something I wanna tell youâŚâ
âWhy are you acting like a child?â, you finally spit at him yourself.
Oh, youâre having enough of all those ups and downs. Especially today, when youâre totally drained out already. You really donât have the nerve for him to pick on you again, not when his last statement lies like a heavy stone in your stomach-
âActing like a child?â, he challenges you.
Just before his lips crash into yours.
Longingly, Sanemi wraps his strong arms around you, devours you against his body while all youâre able to do is holding onto his broad shoulders for dear life.
ThisâŚis really happening, right? This is really Sanemi, pressing his lips against yours over and over again while your naked skin brushes against his?
âYouâre fucking driving me insane, bratâ, he mumbles against your lips before grabbing you even tighter.
âSince the moment I realized you arenât a boy.â
He grabs you by your waist firmly, your naked skin rubbing against his sixpack almost making you lose everything thatâs left of your self-control.
âI canât get you out of my head.â
Your hands wander around his biceps, feel the deep valleys of his muscular back. God, this feels so good â almost too good to be true. But even if this is nothing but a dream, youâll enjoy every minor movement, every sweet moment until you open your eyes again.
But when you do, you donât find yourself in the comforting darkness of your room. No, his eyes glimmer like molten iron when staring down at you in the moonlight, his hot breath brushing against your wet face so seductive that you threaten to lose your balance.
âStill saying Iâm acting like a child, brat?â

hi!! could you write smut of sukuna w/ corruption kink x clingy reader? i need to see more of them đ¤đ¤

âđđ đđđđ. true form!sukuna x concubine! female reader. smut, pwp. corruption kink. reader is described as clingy cute / innocent. voyeurism?// exhibitionism. double pĂŠnetrĂ tion. cowgirl. cream pies. nicknames âslut, brat, womanâ. combined 2 requests :3

itâs honestly your own fault. youâve been sticking around sukuna the entire day, clinging onto him like he wonât let you experience the consequences of your own actions.
âeyes on me, brat,â sukuna scoffs, thumb and index roughly turning your chin back. he needs to see your face as he embarrasses you in front of the guests and other concubines standing around the throne.
youâre supposed to feel regret, yet youâre drowning in a state of pure lust. itâs the thrill that keeps your hips going, the ache in them temporarily ignored as you search for that grande moment of euphoria.
you canât care less about the humans at the bottom of the stairs. theyâre grovelling in fear of the king of curses, knowing their heads can fly off if they dare to look up at you two.
itâs a sign of disrespectâa sign that the king of curses canât care less about what those lowlifes have come to see him for. sukunaâs doing so on purpose, using your clinginess to his advantage.
âhah, what a total slut of a concubine,â sukuna scoffs, leaning his head against one of his hands, elbow propped onto the armrest. this is a punishment for you, though it certainly does not feel like that. even if all attendants in the room can hear you fucking yourself silly on sukunaâs dicks.
you and those sloppy sounds of your two bodies connecting.
you try to hold back your moans, but a rough yank to your hair instantly opens your mouth again. your eyes roll back and your voice spews out. âmhh, my lordââs too much,â you whimper, however your body doesnât stop bouncing on his cocks. sukuna responds by squeezing your middle while he watches his lengths being swallowed by your cunt and ass.
itâs funny how youâve been reduced to a messâa toy he can command to do whatever he pleases. your clinginess secretly pleases him, because it reassures him that youâll do whatâs asked of you. sukuna grins lazily, letting you work for it, âtoo much? tsk. werenât you the one begging fâ my attention, brat?â
he does have a point. you nod mindlessly whilst his cocks drill into youâleaving no hole empty. your eyes dart to both sides of the throne, where two concubines are situated. you can see them tremble in embarrassment and envy.
sukunaâs showing you off to everyone and they donât like it; none of the concubines do. they hate the fact that he chose you to show off to everyone else in the room. like youâre the only trophy heâs proud of.
the guests donât dare to speak either. nor does uraume, whoâs politely looking the other way as their master ravages his favorite little concubine. theyâre used to his acts of exercising his power.
sukuna keeps a firm grip on your hair, threatening to pull your head back each time you dare look around you. âyou have no shame. absolutely zero,â the king of curses says condescendingly. as if the humiliation of being watched isnât enough, sukunaâs words add to the embarrassment youâre feeling, âcock hungry slut canât go a minute without being filled, hm?â
your whimpers get louder and your pace grows faster. his fat tips hit your deepest parts over and over again, the stretch threatening to split you in half. youâre too turned on to care. the way sukunaâs staring at you with that menacing glareâhis sharp nails digging into your skin so painfully . . . you need it all.
âthis âs why youâve been following me âround all day long,â sukuna gruntsâone hand coming up to free your breasts from the confines of your robes, âyâ just needed to be dicked down.â the flicks against your stiff nipples make you tighten up around his cocks again and again.
youâre nearly screaming because of everything your senses are picking up on. your half lidded eyes catch a glimpse of sukunaâs cocky facial expression and youâre almost pushed over the edge. heâs so smugâknowing he has you in the palm of his hand.
his eyes are luring you in. thereâs a hint of something so primal in there - a beast impatiently waiting to be unleashed - one that sukuna is trying his best to suppress.
âarenât you just cute. . .â sukuna mocks with a dangerous chuckle. his thumb rubs your bottom lip before slipping into your mouth for you to suckle on.
âkehehe, isnât that what those servants call you? cute.. innocent.. adorable,â he continues, faintly groaning at the feeling of your tongue swirling around his thumb. sukuna cocks his head to the right and your eyes follow. thatâs where you spot your maids and lady-in-waiting in a corner.
you feel tears well up in your eyes from both pleasure and humiliation. everyone is seeing and hearing you being claimed by the monster of a curse youâre riding. your maids have always adored your innocenceâhow you donât seem to be tainted by sukunaâs advances no matter what. itâs a first to them.
it has been a rumor around the estate for so long; you being the only concubine who can withstand sukunaâs wicked influence. you always seem to stay yourself, your cheery and sweet personality never changing. youâve been known as the innocent one among all other concubines.
yet here those same maids are, watching your brain being corrupted by sin. youâre so sinfully enjoying how sukunaâs cocks are penetrating you. ân-no, amâfnghhâdonât wanna,â you stammer, speaking to no one in particular. your inner desires clash with your rational mind and your body seems to continue its erotic act.
âdonât you fight it, woman,â sukuna brings your attention back by thrusting his cocks all the way up inside you, balls slapping harshly against your ass. heâs proud with his accomplishments. youâre slowly but surely being tainted by him and itâs so pleasing.
soon enough, that damned innocence of yours is going to disappear. heâs going to turn you into a total slut driven by lust, for him and only him. heâs going to ruin you and your body until all you can think of is the pleasure he can give you.
your nails dig into sukunaâs shoulders. you moan loudly, losing the battle, as expected. the king of curses just knows how to make you give in. he takes great pleasure in seeing you lose yourself, with everyone watching how he strips you from that innocence.
âstupid, nasty fuckinâ thing,â sukuna grunts as the lower pair of his arms hold you by your hips. he halts your movements before starting his own. âyâre mine, ya hear?â he pounds up into youâmaking you mewl. a chant of his name leaves your lips. you simply cannot stop yourself.
âyes, âm yours, my lord!â you moan for everyone to hear. the pink-haired man grins in satisfaction and quickly plunges his cocks in and out of your holes, needing to release himself so he could fully claim you as his in front of the rest.
his dirty cumslut, his tainted and brainless doll.
sukuna wraps all four arms around you, leaving no room for escape. he presses you against him until youâre struggling to breathe. your head is pushed against his shoulder and your insides are being turned into mush. the gooey fluids drip down onto the throne and down the floor.
âfuck. not a drop goes to waste or iâm fuckinâ ya again,â sukuna warns before shooting loads of cum into your womb and up your ass. both your holes are stuffed full of white, sticky semen mixed with your own release. you desperately clench around nothing once sukuna pulls you off his dicks.
you try to reach your hands out towards him as he manoeuvres your body away once heâs finished. the king of curses pins your wrists at your back so he can turn you around on his thighs, forcefully spreading your legs like a trophy heâs showing off on his throne.
one arm wraps around your waist and his chin rests on your right shoulder. sukuna keeps you on his lap and continues to act like he didnât just completely wreck your insides.
while youâre left in the intense moment, he seems to have moved on already.
âspeak,â sukuna orders the humans whoâve witnessed the whole ordeal. their foreheads are stuck on the floorânone of them daring to look up at the sight, like everyone else.
youâre panting and your head is spinning. youâre totally spent. sukuna holds your limp body up on his lap as one hand is busy scooping the excess cum back into your pussy, not wasting a drop like said before.
one of the villagers finally speaks up, stating the reason for their visit to the estate. their voice is muffled due to a loud buzzing in your ear. youâre tired and canât focus on whatâs said either. you just want to sleep. . . in sukunaâs warm embrace, filled and half-naked, for the entire room to see as they continue discussing business as if youâre not even there.

sim jaeyun đđââË
âá˘. .á˘â in which riki broke up with you, leaving you devastated and depressed. that is, until you get drunk on a night out, and somehow find yourself in his best friend's bed.
genre: angst, smut (pwp) pairing: ex's best friend!jake x fem!reader warnings: smut, MDNI!! wc: 5k
A/N: why am i writing jake smut, im not even jake biased
masterlist đ¤.á




21 days. 21 days since your boyfriend, riki, broke up with you. everyone said it would get easier to deal with over time, and you knew they were right, but you still felt like shit every hour of every single day.
anywhere you looked, you'd just get reminded of him and have flashes of unwanted memories in your mind. it felt like absolute torture. yes, this had been your first serious relationship and you loved him so much, of course you were upset (to say the least).
the worst part was that you still saw him every now and then on campus, which only made your heart ache more. especially when he happened to be around his girl friends. you knew it was just irrational jealousy but that didn't stop you from getting nauseous at the sight.
ŕŞââ´ more under the cut!
one thing was for certain: you couldn't keep going like this, you were extremely exhausted from feeling so miserable 24/7. crying all the time was getting old, and rotting in bed forever didn't seem like a good long term solution. so, you had a totally mature and genius idea that would definitely not make things worse in any way. there was a house party being hosted by someone you knew, it would be the perfect place to get drunk and forget about your ex. even if it's just for one night.
your friends had already been nagging you to go, knowing your current state and how you barely left your house unless it was absolutely necessary. they were worried for you and missed your radiant aura. minhee was convinced she'd find you a hot guy that would help you move on. yeah, you knew that wouldn't work as simple as that, it wasn't easy to simply forget someone you loved with your whole heart and dated for quite a while. but at least you could give it a try, right?
âĄ
fast forward to friday, you sat on the carpet in front of the body length mirror in your room, attempting to do your makeup. truth be told, it's been a while since you made yourself look so glamorous, which made it all the more difficult to get ready. every fibre of your being was screaming at you to just stay home and cry yourself to sleep while watching rom coms. but you pushed through, forcing yourself to stay on track with your plans and also not let down your friends who were there for you.
the faint sound of a honk broke you out of your thoughts, causing you to grab your belongings and waddle down the stairs in a dress that was shorter than you were comfortable with. your friend karina had gotten it for you a while ago, and you felt bad for never wearing it since then.
"looking good y/nnie!" minhee smirked and jokingly whistled as you managed to navigate yourself in to the passenger seat of her car.
all you could do was roll your eyes and playfully nudge her shoulder. "shut up"
she wiggled her brows in response before shifting gears and taking off to pick the other girls up too. you'd be lying if you said you weren't nervous about tonight, and feeling some form of regret. you could only pray and hope that riki wouldn't be there, or you'd definitely drown yourself in the pool without a second thought.
following your excited and chatty friends up the stairs felt strangely like walking towards your impending doom. you stuck close to minhee, who unsurprisingly immediately made her way to the drinks. not like you minded, because there was no way you were surviving this night without any alcohol.
the unknown mix of drinks burned your throat as you swallowed it, not really bothering to be sensible. before you knew it, you were on the dance floor with your friends, laughing and singing along to the songs blasting from the speakers. even if it was due to the alcohol, finally having a smile on your face was really refreshing. karina seemed to notice, who flashed you a grin and tugged you closer as the two of you were dancing like there was no tomorrow.
as the night went on, you gradually lost yourself to the alcohol that was now buzzing in your veins. you didn't feel like yourself at all, but in the best way possible. anyone would be able to tell that you were completely out of it by now.
you had no idea where your friends had disappeared off to, and somehow you found yourself not caring. while you were busy pushing past people with no particular destination in mind, you accidentally bumped into someone.
"woopsies, silly me!" you giggled drunkenly, looking up to see who it was. your heart did a backflip when you managed to recognize the face staring back at you.
"no worries darling." you knew that aussie accent way too well. standing right in front of you was jake, riki's best friend. honestly you were just relieved that it wasn't riki himself.
"oh, hi jake." you stumbled a bit and grabbed onto his arm for support. he merely looked down at you in amusement, finding the blush on your cheek quite cute. his eyebrow shot up subtly, eyeing the revealing dress that was definitely out of chatacter for you. despite that, you looked undeniably gorgeous like always.
jake's hand moved to your waist casually, acting as a stabilizer so you wouldn't fall over. normally, you would've felt awkward in a situation like this, but now you weren't even phased.
"you look like you've had one too many drinks, hm?" he leaned closer to speak, so you'd hear him over the loud music. your hands instinctively tightened around his arm.
"i-i'm fine..." you mumbled stubbornly, even though it was obvious you were close to collapsing right there on the spot.
"are you here alone? where are your friends?" if you were sober, you definitely wouldn't have missed the slight concern laced with his voice.
"uhmm... i dunno!" you grinned sheepishly at him, still pressed against his arm. "i think they ditched me"
you had no idea when or how you lost them, so his guess was as good as yours. "i was just about to leave anyway. can't leave a pretty thing like you drunk and alone"
before you knew it, jake was dragging you out of the party along with him. you weren't exactly sure what was going on, but even in your state you knew that you trusted him. after all, he was your ex's best friend, you'd known him for a while.
âĄ
jake guided you into his bedroom, sitting you down on his bed and looking down at you, as if contemplating something. now that you were actually here, in his apartment, he wasn't sure if this was the right decision. but what else could he do, leave you at the party when you were completely shitfaced? absolutely not.
he kneeled down in front of you and carefully took one of your legs in his hand, removing your heel with the upmost precision. the other one was discarded too, letting your feet feel relieved from being squished together all night.
you were quiet now, past your drunken giggling and just zoning out, having no clue where you were. he almost laughed at the sight. he'd never seen you so vulnerable and adorable.
"stay here, i'll bring you some water" he stood up and disappeared into the bathroom for a few minutes. true to his words, he returned with the water in one hand, and a pill in the other.
you watched with glossy eyes as he sat down next to you and gently guided the glass to your lips. you obeyed, feeling refreshed by the cold liquid. he gave you the pill next, urging you to swallow it. "this will make your headache more bearable tomorrow"
a quiet hum left your lips as you followed his instructions, then set the glass aside on his nightstand. your movements were still uncoordinated and messy, making him chuckle.
"you tired, pretty?" jake examined your droopy eyes, you looked so cute he had to hold himself back from smothering you in affection.
the first time jake saw you, he had felt starstruck. if he could go back in time, he definitely wouldn't have fumbled you so bad. he was a coward, he waited too long and suddenly you were dating his best friend. despite all his attempts to get rid of his attraction towards you, nothing seemed to work in his favour. you were quite literally the only girl he couldn't have, and ironically enough also the only one he wanted. but of course, he was respectful of your relationship with riki and was good at hiding his feelings towards you, he'd never let his jealousy be the reason he fell out with his best friend.
so here you were, sitting in his bed, drunk off your ass and it wouldn't take a genius to figure out why you'd drink so much. he wasn't sure how riki would react if he knew the situation he was in right now. he chose to push that thought aside and focus on you.
when you didn't answer his question, he spoke again, "you can sleep in my clothes, yeah?"
you nodded and stood up, letting him help you make your way to the bathroom. As he was closing the door, he added one more thing. "if you need any help, just shout for me."
it was quite difficult to get your dress off, but you managed somehow. all your limbs felt weak and heavy, and you were still disoriented, though you were able to change without falling over or breaking anything. jake's shirt swallowed your small frame comfortably, and you smiled faintly at the smell of his cologne lingering on the fabric. your mind was a jumbled mess of feelings as you returned, seeing him scrolling his phone, also in a more comfortable set of clothes.
he looked up and smirked at you, his eyes shamelessly travelling down your body as he took in the sight of you. to him, you'd never looked hotter. the combination of your messy hair and his shirt stopping by your mid-thighs was enough to make his head spin. he had to remind himself that you were drunk, and no matter how badly he wanted you he couldn't take advantage of you in this state.
seeing him pat a spot on the bed, you didn't need much convincing to climb under the covers and rest your head on a pillow. once again, you were welcomed with his scent, causing you to feel strangely comforted.
jake stood up and gave you one last look, making sure you were laid on your side so you wouldn't accidentally hurt yourself by choking on your tongue.
"where are you going?" you asked tiredly, opening your eyes to see him by the door of his bedroom.
"i'm sleeping on the couch." he raised a brow, surprised to see you sit up in the bed after just getting comfortable. your next words made him wonder if he was hallucinating.
"come back, i don't want to be alone"
your quiet, pleading voice was simply impossible to resist. how could he say no, when you were looking at him with literal puppy eyes? he sighed, and following a moment of hesitation he climbed into bed next to you. it's not like he didn't want to sleep next to you, god he would give anything to experience this. but he wasn't sure how long he could control himself when you were in his bed, looking like an angel.
for a few minutes, the room was filled with heavy silence as the two of you simply stared at each other. you admired his face, the dim lighting only adding to the tension slowly filling the air. you'd never really noticed just how pretty he was before. his round, brown eyes seemed so welcoming.
"jake..." you almost whispered his name, with nothing specific in mind. you just wanted to end the silence between you, it felt too tense.
"hm?" his eyes never left yours, studying your face as if you were the most interesting thing in the world. the longer you looked at him, the more your heart seemed to race.
"i... i don't know"
"what's wrong?" jake studied your glossy eyes, wondering why you were suddenly acting so emotional. his heart clenched at the sight of you nearly crying. he longed to pull you close and kiss you until you were smiling again.
"i don't know, i just..." you struggled to find words to express how you felt, especially with the alcohol still lingering in your system. there was so much you wanted to say, but you knew better than to break down in his bed when he'd been kind enough to bring you home with him safely. "...i don't wanna be alone. i hate the silence, i hate feeling everything and nothing at the same time i-"
suddenly you felt his finger wiping a stray tear from your cheek, one you haven't even noticed falling. there it was, that familiar heavy feeling in your heart. the one you were so sick of feeling, all you wanted was for it to go away.
you didn't really think before scooting over and hugging jake's larger frame. your face was buried in his neck, a good way to hide your tears as well as your embarrassment. his warmth felt intoxicating and you clutched his shirt like you were afraid he'd disappear.
jake didn't hesitate to welcome your hug and return it, he was more than happy to be your shoulder to cry on. seeing you in such a state made him realize just how emotionally drained you'd been since the breakup happened, he silently cursed riki for not taking care of you properly.
you felt like this was the first time someone had properly hugged you in weeks, which didn't help the overflowing emotions you were already experiencing. you clinged to him as if he was your lifeline, your only hope. there was no way you could explain the way his entire presence and embrace was more comforting than anything you'd felt in a while.
maybe you were delusional, but being in his arms like this made you feel all the more attracted to him. letting your guard down was something you rarely ever did, even with your most trusted friends. yet here you were, silently crying in jake's bed and confessing how lonely you felt as of late. it felt so intimate to be vulnerable around him.
"it's okay, you're not alone. i'm here, yeah?" he murmured against your hair, rubbing your back gently in an attempt to calm you down. if he wasn't paying attention, he would've missed the subtle nod of your head.
"i'm sorry. please don't leave." you whispered, sliding your hands under his shirt to feel the bare skin of his back that was practically radiating heat.
your touch caught him off guard and he almost hissed at the contact, his arms tightened around your waist. "i'm not going anywhere darling, and you have nothing to be sorry for. you've been through a lot and you just need some love"
yeah, you did need love. you felt guilty, a part of you still yearned for it to be riki who gave you the love you wanted so badly. but he was gone now, no matter how much you cried over it the past won't change. the more rational part of your brain was constantly urging you to move on and accept the fact that riki doesn't love you anymore. you swore the mixed emotions were going to drive you insane, if they haven't already.
but right now, even if it wasn't what you wanted, jake was what you needed. if only you knew the true extent of how much he cared for you.
jake's hands paused against your back when he felt the soft press of your lips against his neck. it surprised him so much that he couldn't help but wonder if he was imagining things. but no, he felt it yet again. "fuck, angel... don't do that" he struggled to speak properly.
"why not?" you pulled away a bit to examine his face, searching for signs of any discomfort, or maybe disgust. you just wanted to shower him in affection to show him how grateful you felt to be here with him right now. to be able to sleep in his bed and cry in his arms to your heart's extent.
he wasn't sure how to explain the reason he didn't want you to kiss him right now, and you were completely oblivious to his internal struggle.
"you're still tipsy, and emotional..." jake brushed a strand of hair away from your cheek, "i'm not going to take advantage of your state." he was being so sweet to you, it was almost annoying. yes, you were still not entirely sober but you couldn't deny the overwhelming urge to be... close to him.
so instead of replying, you leaned closer and pecked his cheek, causing jake to groan aloud. how could he possibly restrain himself when the girl he was whipped for was acting like this? he cupped your jaw with one hand and pulled your face closer, placing his lips onto yours with one swift motion.
your eyes fluttered shut and you kissed back as if you had done this a million times before. it felt so natural, and you were becoming lightheaded from how perfectly your lips felt against each other. previously you'd been worried that kissing someone would feel wrong, and you thought you'd imagine you were kissing riki instead, but right now there wasn't a single thought about him in your mind. all you could focus on was how good it was.
jake felt like he was losing his mind more every second he continued to kiss you. he didn't care how needy he might be coming off, cause fuck he'd wanted to this for months. never in a million years did he anticipate it would actually happen, in this context no less.
the kiss grew more heated as you moved your hands from his back to feel up his defined abs, relishing how supple and warm his skin was. at the same time, jake had a hand cupping your cheek, while the other one slid down to your waist, dipping under the shirt you were wearing. the feeling of your bare skin under his fingertips was absolutely euphoric. safe to say, neither of you were thinking about how right or wrong this might be at the moment. all your thoughts were out the window and you were entirely immersed in his company.
he didn't hesitate for a second when he realized you were tugging at the hem of his shirt, silently demanding its removal. the t-shirt was tossed aside, landing somewhere on the floor of his bedroom. your eyes widened as you were met with the sight of his bare upper body, you had to hold yourself back from practically drooling at the view. jake noticed your lustful gaze and couldn't help but smirk to himself. he pulled you closer and kissed you briefly before whispering in your ear lowly, "your turn."
he didn't leave you time to respond, tugging your shirt over your head. the action made you blush a bit, but you lifted your arms to help him remove the item of clothing. faint goosebumps littered your skin due to the sudden loss of heat, mixed with the tension in the air.
your hands landed on his chest, you took a moment to look into his eyes before inching closer and placing your lips on his for the nth time. the passion was halted for a moment, leaving room for the kiss to be more timid and soft. it didn't last for long though, soon enough it turned needy once again.
jake sat up without warning and pulled you into his lap snugly by your waist. your legs landed on either side of his thighs as you made yourself comfortable and wrapped your arms around his neck. his half lidded eyes and lazy grin made your heart skip a beat. for a second you felt stunned, an overwhelming sense of need filled you. he didn't miss the way your gaze travelled down his bare body once again, it sent a strange kind of satisfaction through him.
his lips found their way down from your jaw to your neck, peppering it with soft kisses. a quiet groan left his throat as you thread your fingers through his dark brown hair. the playful kisses turned into gentle nips and bites, jake couldn't resist leaving a few pretty marks along your porcelain skin.
your hushed gasp was a contrast to the mostly quiet atmosphere as his hands had somehow ended up squeezing your backside. the action caused you to arch your back instinctively, making you grind against him.
"fuck." he whispered, gently guiding your hips in his lap. the slight friction was intoxicating.
"jake..." his name left your mouth in a quiet whisper as you leaned your forehead on his shoulder, letting your urges get the best of you.
"i know, baby" his hands slid lower to caress your inner thighs tenderly. he tried not to moan as his hips pushed upward involuntary, amplifying the friction between you, while his boxers were becoming increasingly tight as his arousal strained against the fabric.
your lips found his once more, you were getting more desperate by the second and your mind was consumed purely with need for him. the material of his sweatpants felt soft under your fingers as you tugged subtly.
jake's breath hitched and his resolve crumbled almost immediately. he was a gone man, there was no going back now. breaking the kiss and muttering a quiet curse, he shoved his sweats and boxers down his hips in one swift motion. the rest was kicked off carelessly, leaving him completely bare under you. his hard length stood heavy against his stomach, flushed and leaking.
the sight made you want to faint on the spot, you had been so caught up chasing your lust and now it all felt real. you were still hovering on your knees, having lifted your hips to let him remove his remaining clothes.
but jake didn't plan on waiting around while you admired his erection, in a quick motion he flipped you over, pushing you against the pillows as he hovered above you. the view he had right now was almost enough to make him cum on the spot: you laid beneath him, sprawled out with messy hair and slightly swollen lips. not to mention some red marks he's left on your neck earlier (they definitely weren't the last either).
"you're so gorgeous, it's unfair."
before you knew it, he was kissing your shoulder, distracting you from the way his hand slid under your lacy panties. the gasp that left your lips was enough to let him know that you were surprised to feel his finger trail along your folds. god you were so wet he groaned out loud, opting to suck on your neck to keep himself quiet.
your arms darted to wrap around his neck once more as you felt him slide a finger into you. a broken moan left your lips, you bucked your hips into his hand, wanting to feel more of him.
"fuck, pretty, you're soaked" he murmured, his voice somewhat strained as he held himself back from shoving himself in fully and fucking you until you passed out.
"jake-" you couldn't speak properly even if you tried, especially not when another finger was pushed into you with ease. it was completely out of your control how your walls clenched around his diligently working fingers. "please..."
he could tell you were growing impatient and he knew exactly what you were asking for. as much as he longed to tease you and make you squirm under him as much as possible, his own arousal was consuming him whole.
after a few more pumps of his fingers, he pulled them out, earning a quiet whimper from you. he couldn't hold back a smirk, there was nothing that turned him on more than seeing you all desperate and needy for him, like you'd die if he didn't fill you up immediately. jake was pretty sure he'd never been as hard as he was right now in his entire life.
your panties were practically ripped off, not that you minded because that was the least of your concerns at the moment. you were completely focused on how jake grabbed your thighs and nudged them apart to position himself at your entrance.
he rubbed his tip against your aching clit, coating himself in your wetness and teasing you at the same time. "is this what you need doll? want me to fill you up?" he asked, his voice was low and laced with desire even with the obvious rhetorical question. he nudged inside, not giving you the full length yet as he moved his hands all over your body.
"yes! please jake, i need you" you whined shamelessly in response, tugging him closer with your hands on his back. there was no room for embarrassment, especially when you knew how much he was getting off from your begging.
he grunted in satisfaction at your response, pushing inside slowly until his hips pressed against yours. your gummy walls were tight and inviting, sucking him in with no effort. if jake thought he was close to losing it completely earlier, he was not ready for this moment. his entire body was tingling, senses heightened yet his brain completely gone, unable to form coherent thoughts.
"so good for me, i knew you could take it" he soothed your faint whimpers with a kiss on your forehead.
your eyes were glossy from the immense pleasure you felt with him just being buried to the hilt. the stretch was perfect, he filled you up perfectly without causing any pain.
after a moment of panting and moans, jake started to rock his hips, thrusting into you slowly. he wasn't sure how long he'd last with you being so perfect for him in every way.
"holy fuck..." he closed his eyes for a moment, desperate to keep himself together in favour of your pleasure and comfort. your soft moans and gasps didn't help his case one bit.
you couldn't stay quiet even if you tried, he was bringing you so much euphoria you swore you would explode. your legs instinctively wrapped around his waist as he sped up his movements, pushing as deep as possible. "fuck, jake..."
"so vocal for me" he hummed against your ear, his breath tickling your skin and giving you goosebumps yet again, only heightening the growing pleasure. as he continued to thrust into you, his hand left your waist to grap one or your hands and hold it down against the mattress, fingers intertwining naturally.
a sudden pain shot through his body in result of your nails digging into the skin of his back, altering between scratching and holding on. but the feeling only turned him on more, urging him to pound into you even faster.
"you're doing so well angel, shit" jake knew he wouldn't last much longer, so he was very relieved to feel you squirm and clench around his dick.
"it's so much..." you muttered between moans, your senses were flooded and overwhelmed by now. you swore you could see stars every time you felt his tip push against your cervix, his movements were painfully precise. "i'm close, jake"
you calling his name out so sweetly was music to his ears. he kissed your cheek and spoke in a strained voice yet again, "me too, you gonna come for me princess? hm?"
it was a miracle that you even lasted this long, your adamant nods were only seconds prior to you clamping down on him hard. a mix of a moan and grunt was heard from jake as he let go of your hand to wrap his arms around your waist instead.
with a few more sloppy thrusts, his climax was just behind yours. his hair was tugged and you squeezed your legs tightly as his hips jerked. you were filled up by ropes of his thick seed, making your eyes roll back from the pleasure completely and moan his name like a prayer.
both your bodies were moulded against each other, only disrupted occasionally with your light squirms. jake stroked your hair gently, holding onto you like he was afraid you would disappear. after a few peaceful moments, he carefully pulled out and grabbed a clean tissue to help you clean up.
once you were both under the cover again, he didn't waste any time to pull you against his chest. "i'm here, i won't leave." he whispered sweet reassurances to you, caressing any part of you he could reach. you practically melted into his arms completely, his presence was beyond comforting for your exhausted self.
you muttered against his warm skin quietly, "thank you"
"for what?" he smiled sweetly, even though you couldn't see his face. here you were, thanking him when you had been the one to give him the best experience he could ever ask for.
"taking care of me."
"i would never neglect my baby."
his words were enough to paint a soft smile onto your tired face. it didn't take long for you to drift into a peaceful sleep, especially when you were cuddled up to him so snugly. jake's heart swelled at how cute you looked in his arms. he couldn't ask for more, all he'd wanted was to take care of you and he finally got the chance, he wasn't going to hesitate or be a coward with you ever again.
