HCs for Life with Stephen
Stephen Strange x fem!reader
Warnings: stephen being unable to show his emotions
Requested: by anon, Hi again! I’m so glad you’re up for a Dr. Strange request. Can I get some hcs of what it would be like to be in a relationship with him, starting with him asking the f!reader out, them dating and then him proposing? Thanks so much in advance!
I don’t own these characters. They belong to author/director/creator
Author’s Note: gosh he just be hitting different. I hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
- he asked you out after he become the sorcerer supreme
- and it’s probably a little bit annoying because he has so much ego that he is just sitting there wondering why you aren’t fawning over him yet
- but he truly does care about you
- you’re one of the only people who know everything about him, from surgeon to sorcerer
- you have managed to stay alongside him for that long and you swear to stay for longer
- you’re one of the only constants in his life and he doesn’t want to lose you
- is he going to say all that? Absolutely fucking not!
- in fact, he’s probably just like ‘drinks?’
- as though you guys haven’t been friends for like, years at that point ?????
- make it make sense stephen ))))
- but you do say yes because you thought he would never ask
- he kisses you after that first date cause he just can’t make himself wait any longer
- it’s ironically perfect
- both of you thought it was going to be awkward but you were standing out on the sidewalk and he just went for it and it was….perfect
- dating Stephen is hard because he isn’t much of an affectionate person
- he prefers to practically ignore the fact that your dating until it’s convenient for him
- but also, he’s witty and annoying and he loves to kiss you and take charge so you let him do what he wants to do for the most part
- he isn’t sure how to handle your emotions
- but he actually does give it his best shot because he wants you to be as comfortable with him as possible
- he wants you to live with him in the Sanctum. That’s where he can best protect you and where you can be closest to him
- Wong actually adores you
- ‘If only you had become Sorcerer Supreme instead of Strange’
- Wong and Stephen don’t have JOBS so your income basically allows them to get food and stuff like-
- they also will help you with anything you need in that area
- hey, if they gotta they’ll go down to your boss themselves and give em a piece of their minds
- Stephen sometimes gets jealous of how easy it is for Wong to express his emotions for you
- he wants to let you know how much he loves you but he just can't. Say it
- instead he will do simple things like remember your food order, write you notes, search out spells you may like, show you the cool things he can do
- weekend trips to random places in the world cause he can just do that
- its on one of these trips that he proposes
- he isn’t sure you actually will say yes
- and his proposing speech is much better than his ‘wanna go on a date’ speech
- he took you out to one of your favorite places you had visited over the years, if that is China or England, or freaking Las Vegas, he’ll go to your favorite place
- he probably found a spot ages ago that he thought would be nice
- he was really worried it was gonna come off as awkward but when the time came and your back was turned, he knew it was perfect
- ‘I know I’m not the easiest to get along with. And I don’t blame you if you wanna say no, I would probably say no. But you make me happier than I’ve ever been and you put up with me like a champ.’
- so maybe the speech wasn’t that great but it had you in tears
- he asked you and you said yes, of course
- the wedding was small, only your closest friends on your side and Wong on his side
- plus some old doctor buddies he still sorta was in contact with
- even though he had fought it for a long time, you were always going to be a weakness in him and he had to embrace it
- he could protect you and space and time

Quid Pro Quo | Maria Hill x reader
summary: when Agent Hill calls you into her office, it’s the least you can do not to come running.  but either way, you’re gonna come quickly.
word count: 1.8k
warnings: smut!, oral sex f receiving, a touch of overstimulation, workplace relationship, subtle d/s undertones, but other than that it’s just some relatively wholesome established relationship smutty smut!
Tumblr media
“Agent Hill needs to see you in her office,” Christine told you quickly as she stopped by your desk, making you nod in acknowledgement as you hoped your face hadn’t given away your excitement.
You didn’t want to seem too eager, too rushed, lest someone question why you were champing at the bit to do more work and realise that work wasn’t the issue at all, so you tried to finish the report you were working on first.  But of course you couldn’t finish a report when all you could think about was Maria; Maria, with all her looks that lingered, all her slanted smiles and little touches on your back and shoulders.  She knew exactly how to keep you on edge all day, until you were so close to snapping that you’d do anything she asked.
So, you just stared at your computer screen for a few moments, glancing at the clock and wondering if time had suddenly began to stand still because it had felt like hours of waiting in less than a minute, before finally jumping up and walking down the hall and into the elevator to make your way to Maria’s office.
You tried to compose yourself when you stepped out onto her floor, turning into the hall and following the familiar path as you found her door half-open, where she was standing by her desk on the other side, bent down to write down on something there.  She looked so focused, and it took a knock on her ajar door to get her attention as she promptly looked up and you waved hello.
“Oh, good, you’re here,” she nodded, standing fully upright.  “Come in, and you can go ahead and shut the door behind you.”
She was so stern, so composed and frightfully stoic, that for a moment you wondered if you’d misunderstood and this was really a business call after all.  The moment the door was shut though, her entire demeanor shifted as he smiled and pushed you right back up against it, pinning you to the frosted glass and kissing you slowly yet passionate.  You hummed contentedly and kissed her back, reaching up to rest your hands on her shoulders.
“Missed you,” she mumbled against your lips before slipping her tongue into your mouth, making you moan already.  “Did you miss me?”
“Of course,” you sighed, following her when she stepped back and guided you to her desk.
“I think you should make me come first,” she grinned, “because you get way to blissed-out and sleepy after I get you off.”
“Don’t need to tell me twice,” you chuckled as you dropped to your knees, ever-thankful that she was wearing a skirt today so you could just push it up and pull her lacy panties down her smooth, muscular thighs.  “I’ve been dreaming about tasting you all day.”
Her cocky grin fell into a slow sigh as you instantly latched onto her bud, sucking it just enough to make her moan, but leave her wanting more.  You darted out your tongue to slide through her slick folds, gathering the taste of her that you found there and letting it coat your mouth.  “Oh, fuck, just like that,” she encouraged as she reached down to hold your head steady, rocking her hips slightly.  You loved getting her off like this, with her still standing and still dressed; you loved being reminded that she was your boss— not just your boss, but your boss’ boss— and you were on your knees in her office where someone might walk in and see you both.
She wasn’t exactly riding your face, she couldn’t really do that while standing in heels, but she was rubbing herself on your tongue and it drove you wild.
“God, I’ve been thinking about you so much,” she groaned, “thinking about you when I get off, and I have to get off pretty often if I have any chance of focusing.  You know how much it drives me crazy knowing you’re just a few floors away, how much I wanna go down there and throw you over that desk and show everybody that you’re mine?”
You moaned, the sound muffled with your mouth preoccupied, but it was every bit as needy and desperate and raw as you felt.
“I’m already close, fuck, see what you do to me?” she laughed breathlessly.  “Can’t even keep it together, shit, I’m so close... baby I’m close, I’m gonna come.”
You nodded, not as permission (because she absolutely did not need your permission) but as a plea, as an expression of how badly you wanted her to come for you.
Her legs began to shake, and if you weren’t so thoroughly aware of how strong she was, you would’ve worried she’d fall.
“Yes,” she moaned, her head falling back, “ffffuck yes, right there— I’m coming, oh my god—”
You hummed happily when you felt her pussy spasm and contract, a stronger flavor of her rushing over your tongue and lips until it even began to drip down your chin.  Looking up at her, you reveled in how lovely she looked riding your face through her peak, that cool and composed Agent suddenly reduced to loud moans and sensitive whimpers.  She sighed and stepped back, pulling up her own panties and readjusting her skirt as she admired you knelt on the floor with pretty much the entire lower half of your face covered in her arousal.
“You look good,” she grinned.  “You look ready for me to return the favor.”
“I mean, I’m not gonna stop you,” you shrugged playfully as you stood up and wiped your face, though your coy attitude was lost when she grabbed you suddenly and tossed you down onto her desk, lifting your legs and spreading them as your dress rolled up your thighs.
“How bad did you miss me?” she interrogated as she began to kiss up your legs, your hips bucking up in search of more stimulation.  
“S-so bad,” you moaned, “Maria, you’re all I think about— I need you, please.”
“Yeah?” she pressed as her grin pressed against the sensitive skin inside your thigh.
“Yeah,” you nodded quickly, groaning when her mouth teased you through your panties and your back arched up off of her desk.  “Please don’t make me wait anymore, I’ve been waiting so long,” you whined.
“You could stand to gain a little more patience,” she suggested.
“You could stand to gain a little more speed,” you shot back, getting what you wished for when she pulled your panties aside and spat on your pussy before devouring it, sucking and licking at you with all the vigor and intensity that you could handle (and then some).  “Fuck!” you sobbed, your body fighting the overwhelming sensations by trying to squirm away, but she grabbed your hips and held you down— your head spun to feel how much stronger she was than you.
Your eyes rolled back in your head when she slipped her tongue inside you, fucking you with it while still managing to brush up against your clit with each slide of it against you.  When she reached up and used her thumb to pull back the hood that shielded your clit, leaving your most sensitive places exposed to her, it was all you could do not to scream as your hands clawed at the mahogany desk beneath you.
She looked up at you as she took you apart, her eyes burning with that all-encompassing fire that made you feel hot everywhere, and it was nearly impossible to keep eye contact when she stared you down like that.  But you knew she wanted you to watch her do this to you, see that passion in her eyes that almost felt like it bordered on fury at times.
“F-fuck, don’t stop,” you whimpered, “Maria— I’m close.  Fuck, I’m gonna come.”
A little rumbling purr echoed from her, vibrating over your pussy enough to make you gasp.  When she did it again, it was the last thing that sent you over the edge, your walls tightening around her tongue as you bit down on your lip to keep from getting too loud; your legs quivered and clamped down around her head unintentionally, but even that wasn’t enough to deter her from fucking you right through it— and a bit past it, in fact.
“Oh god,” you whined, realizing she had no intentions of slowing down.  “M-Maria, I can’t— I can’t take anymore.”
She never stopped to respond to you in times like this; even a few words’ worth of a break was too much, apparently, and she just glared back at you with a look that said much more anyways.
“Fuuuuck,” you groaned, your hips bucking wildly as she applied more force to keep them still.  Your clit was throbbing, the sensations overloading your body and making your fingers and toes tingle with numbness for some reason.  You heard the most outrageous sounds pouring from your mouth and you could hardly believe it was you making them, your voice so wrecked and broken that it was entirely unfamiliar.  
The first orgasm hadn’t really ended when the second one began, so strong that you weren’t sure if you shut your eyes or if your vision just went black.  
Finally, finally, she let up, although she gave your swollen clit a little kiss at the very end just to see your whole body jolt in response to the gentle touch.
You sighed and fluttered your heavy eyes, melting into her arms as she helped you sit up.  “Told ya you’d get all sleepy on me,” she chuckled.
“Well yeah, but it’s your fault for making me come like that.”
“And by ‘like that,’ you mean twice?”
“I mean that hard,” you rolled your eyes, “and twice.”
“I’ll be waiting for my thank you card in the mail,” she winked.
“I have much better ways to thank you than that,” you smiled sleepily.  “Like taking you out to dinner tonight.”
“I thought the point of dating a subordinate was that I get to take you out and, you know, spoil you and stuff.”
“You’re thinking of a sugar baby,” you clarified.  “I’m not a sugar baby.”
“Then what made you so sweet, hm?” she grinned, kissing the little ticklish spot just below your ear.
“Maria,” you giggled, “I’ve gotta get back to my desk.”
“If you say so,” she sighed, lifting your chin with her finger before kissing you slowly and gently, already making you fall back into your trance as your arms wrapped around her neck and pulled her closer.  “Or you could just stay here and I could make you come for a few more hours.”
“Yeah, or that,” you mumbled dreamily into the kiss, feeling her smile against your lips as she leaned you back against the desk again.

This is a bit self-indulgent, but how would the brothers react to an MC that not only has a high pain tolerance but can relocate their limbs? I fell down the stairs and didn’t notice my ankle was broken and I remember relocating my arm one time when it got dislocated in some other accident without reacting much.
MC can still feel the pain but they can handle it like a champ and fix/adjust whatever injury they have with a poker face
Hello Anon! Happy to take the request but dude(gnc lol) your body, please be careful! Thank you for your patience, I hope you enjoy~
Belphegor
First of all, what the hell?
He knows humans and they shouldn’t be able to bend like that.
You made him question his understanding of human anatomy.
Once he’s over that, he calls you weird in the most affectionate way lol.
Kind of amazed that you showed him something he’s never seen before.
After chapter 16 events, he knows you have a high pain tolerance so he finds himself constantly asking if you’re ok?
There were a few times when you had been hurt but didn’t even notice until he asked.
He swears you’re an injury magnet but the two upsides are that you don’t whine about it and can fix any dislocations yourself.
Belphie has stress dreams about you getting seriously hurt but you don’t recognize you need help.
The only way to quell his fears is to stay with him when he sleeps so when he wakes up and sees you’re fine he can go back to sleep.
Beelzebub
He has a high pain tolerance too so he often forgets you’re human and that your body is much weaker than his.
Once gave you a really excited but hard high five and it dislocated your wrist.
You popped it back in with ease but he was so apologetic.
You aren’t mad though, it didn’t even hurt and you’re back to normal already.
He’s like those big dogs that are so excited to see you that you can’t be mad when they take you down by jumping on you.
Belphie reminds him that there are things that you can’t do and to be careful with you.
He’s protective of you when around others but he almost always forgets his own strength when handling you.
There could definitely be times when he’s pulling you along to a restaurant he wants to get to and just dislocates your shoulder.
Again, another easy enough fix to pop it back in but Beel treats you to meals all week as an apology.
If there was ever a time where you actually vocalized your pain, he’d know it was serious and get you to a hospital right away.
Asmodeus
He’s at first more worried about your skin scarring with cuts and scrapes you don’t notice and leave to scab over messily.
The first time he sees a dislocated joint though, he has sympathy pain and asks if you’re ok and if you need a doctor.
When you say no and relocate the join yourself, he grimaces. It’s not a pleasant experience as a bystander.
He doesn’t know much about human anatomy but he figures this is not the norm.
You’re making him stress and it isn’t a cute look!
Asmo gets protective so you and him don’t have to suffer through relocating your limbs.
If there is even a chance you could get hurt, he’s pulling you aside to help him with something.
Being a demon means that he also has a pain tolerance but he’s aware humans are generally weaker.
Although you’ve assured him many times that it doesn’t hurt, he still treats you to a relaxing bath or massage after an incident. 
Surely your body might not be giving you the signals it’s hurting but he figures dislocating and relocating your limbs that often can’t be good. He hopes he’s mitigating any lasting damage on your joints/muscles/nerves with the warmth of the bath or the relaxation of the massage.
Satan
He would be disturbed but so intrigued. 
Relocating limbs was definitely not in any books he read about humans.
He has so many questions!
Does it hurt? Not for you but you know for others it would.
How often does it happen? Not too often but enough to have a handful of stories about it.
What joints can do that? Fingers, toes, shoulders, knees, elbows, and ankles just to name a few.
Satan may or may not subtly test your pain tolerance with unsuspecting pokes or gradually increasing his force behind back pats, high fives or pulling you along to different locations.
His experiment leads him to conclude that although you’re not feeling the pain, your body is certainly reacting to his tests. There were bruises where he poked a little too hard.
Afterwards, he dials back his research with you as a test subject but picks up more books about human anatomy.
He knows you’re sturdy and you could take a lot but he treats you gently anyway.
Leviathan
You know his “Whoooaaa!”
Yeah, that is definitely his reaction seeing you fix your dislocated joint.
He thinks it’s super cool, a total boss move.
He has no idea that humans are not supposed to do that and at the very least it should hurt.
Belphie mentions it’s not normal and Levi somehow thinks it’s even cooler.
You’re weird! Like him!
I could see our local snek bro being double jointed or something along those lines.
Your high pain tolerance doesn’t come up until he accidentally whips you with his tail and he knows it should have hurt but you just shrugged it off.
It’s definitely a relief that he doesn’t have to worry too much if it should happen again by accident. He was just excited and turned too quickly, that’s bound to happen again.
When he’s bored, he’ll say, “MC, do the thing!” and you put your arm at a funky angle and he watches everyone’s grimace with a look of pure joy.
Mammon
Kind of freaks out the first time he sees you with a dislocated shoulder.
He’s practically dragging you to get help, he doesn’t know what the fix is but knows enough about humans to know you need something.
Once you calmed him down enough, you can pop the sucker right back in front of him.
If demons can faint, he almost does. You had him so worried!
After that initial time, he almost boasts about how great you are, you don’t need a doctor, you can fix it yourself! No problem!
Don’t blame him when he tries to exploit this though. He might get the idea to tout you around as you have a dislocated joint, asking for pity donations.
It’s up to you if you go along with it or take the moral high ground.
He’s generally gentle with you by default, having never threatened you with violence like his other brothers. 
Mammon was kind of surprised that you weren’t phased when Beel slapped you on the back as he laughed at your joke. It looked hard and it made Mammon wince.
If you shrugged it off then so did he. He trusted if you needed help or anything, you’d ask him since he was your first.
Lucifer
Maybe the first time he’s been surprised in a while was watching you relocate a joint.
He knows human anatomy just from preparing for the exchange program and that was not something he prepared for.
Hesitantly asked if you were ok?
When you shrug it off, he’s concerned.
May just take you to the doctor to be certain.
He’s pretty protective after that. Although you confirmed it didn’t hurt, it would look bad on Diavolo’s grand plan if you kept getting injured.
Lucifer would be grateful that you aren’t going to come crying to him at a drop of a hat since he has enough to deal with.
Of course he would drop everything if you needed medical attention, don’t think that his daily duties would take priority in that situation.
Still can’t cure himself of chronic worrying though and will check in with you often.
You had better be honest with him, he has to report on your general health regularly so it’s in your best interest to let him know when you’ve been hurt or dislocated/relocated limbs.

Izuku
Tumblr media
Please be aware you will have to be this dude’s nurse 24/7
He is just always getting hurt
No matter what, he can promise you as much as he wants that he won’t get hurt or he’ll try his best to be safe...
Lmao that doesn’t happen
You don’t know how many times you’ll be hanging out with him, and you’ll notice he has a limp he won’t tell you about
Or he’ll be at your door, covered in scraps and trying to convince you “it’s nothing, really!”
You and Recovery Girl are like besties at this point
Worst part is unless he’s like at deaths door he REFUSES to act like it’s a big thing
Like “oh my fingers are purple and look like burnt chicken-it’s chill”
NO SIR IT IS NOT FUCKING CHILL
He takes pain like a champ tho, like he will grimace here and there but he’ll never do anything but that
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧
“Izuku-for the love of-“ you huffed our with exasperation as you struggled with the hem of his shirt. “-just take off your shirt!”
Poor Midoriya’s cheeks were on fire, his face very much resembling a red strawberry as his bruised digits wrapped around yours, trying desperately to keep his shirt down over his chest.
It wasn’t as if you’d ever seen him shirtless, you had seen him like that countless of times....he just didn’t want to worry you. Yeah his last patrol was a little-rougher-than the rest...but it wasn’t anything he couldn’t handle!
But deep down he knew it looked pretty bad, the bruises blossoming under his skin, deepening with each hour as they were still pretty fresh. And even though they stung, and made it hard to move in certain positions, and-yeah it was kinda hard to breathe in certain ways....he was fine, he swears!
You stopped your tug of war against Izuku, hands falling limp against his thighs, your body hovering over his legs.
“Izuku please,” you pleaded, eyebrows furrowing in sympathy, “I know there’s something wrong...I just want to make sure your okay!”
“I know, I-I just-“ he stuttered our, green orbs full of guilt, “I don’t want to worry you!”
You huffed, feeling defeat flood your body, as you softly caressed the hem of Izuku’s shirt, his favorite one....
His favorite shirt.
It was cruel to do this to him, and you knew it was wrong, but of course you wouldnt actually do it...but that overwhelmingly cruel light bulb idea was now stuck in your brain and wasn’t letting go.
You sighed yet again, this time with an over exaggeration and devilish grin on your face.
“Oh, that’s okay then...” you stated, your words sickly sweet and understanding.
Izuku perked up, unaware by your drastic change in demeanor.
“R-really?!? It is?”
You looked at his slightly relieved face, smile still on your lips. “Yeah of course! If you don’t want to take off your shirt, I can always just cut it off of you-“
Izuku audibly gulped, wise eyes growing even larger.
You-you wouldn’t right? You knew well that this was one of his favorite tshirts, as it had his favorite hero on it plus it was the comfiest one he owned...he wouldn’t ever find a tshirt he loved as much as this one.
Izuku stared at your face, trying to see pass a bluff...but you were good at hiding your true emotions, eyes glinting mischievously in the hazy warm lights.
“So whats it gonna be ‘Zuku?” you asked softly, slowly trailing under the cloth of his shirt, leaving a lowing hum of electricity on his skin. “The scissors are right there after all-“
“I-I’ll take off the shirt,” he said sheepishly, cheeks glowing a shade of red.
You giggled at his expression, thankful he took the bait as you took his face in your hands, your thumbs trailing his infinite freckles.
He could be stubborn, but he always gave in...eventually.
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧ ✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚:
Shinso
Tumblr media
Really doesn’t like being “taken care of”
Like don’t get me wrong, you dotting over him makes him all warm and fuzzy inside,,,
But, idk, he just doesn’t like the feeling of being weak
Kind of like Izuku, tried to deny the fact he’s hurting
But he is much easier to persuade
Usually just takes a kiss or two and he gives in to your efforts
If you have to bandage him up, he likes to be a big flirt to cover up his grimaces
Gives you a bunch of blush worthy compliments,,,,,
Calls you his “Nurse Babe”
Whatever the hell that means
Honestly, after an hour of having your whole attention on him he is hooked
He will never be the same again...he is a hoe for that attention for eternity now 💀
✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧
Your finger were feeling as if they were being tugged out their sockets, the huge bucket of soft soppy warm water sloshing dangerously in its container.
You stepped into the room where a bruised up Shinso lay on the floor, hand lazily scrolling on his phone.
Hearing you enter the room, his head tilted towards you, his once bored expression peeking up into curiousty. His violet eyes watched you intently as you set down the bucket with a huff, kneeling next to his body as you submerged some towels in the luke warm water.
“Whatcha doin’ doll?” He asked, voice still gruff from a nap he had taken a few minutes prior.
You simply continued your work, small smile on your lips as you placed a few towels in the floor.
“Well, since the doctors said you weren’t clear for a shower or bath for the night,” you stated softly, “I thought I’d give one myself.”
“So a sponge bath?” Shinso said plainly. “I’m not some old man, kitten, I’m perfectly fine to take a bath-hell, I can take a shower just fine.”
You clicked your tongue against the roof of your mouth, shaking your head at him.
“When your bruises aren’t the color of your hair, maybe I’ll believe you-“ you gave him a small grin, swallowing down a ball of saliva. “-now take off your shirt.”
Shinso simply chuckled, an exasperate sigh leaving his lips. He knew too well that you were determined to nursing him back to health (even though he felt he was perfectly fine)....so really, there was no point in trying to believe him. And at this point...he wasn’t to sure he even wanted you to.
Having all your undivided attention on him was...nice-even if he hated admitting it.
“Doll, if you just wanted me to strip down...” he said cheekily, that shit eating grin plastered on his pale skin. “All you had to was ask.”
You rolled your eyes playfully, helping hin slowly peel his shirt off his skin-thank god it was a button down, or this would have been a hell of a lot harder.
But sitting in his lap, hands trailing gently against the soft skin of his abdomen and those piercing eyes watching your every move...it wa snaking your body feel particularly too hot for an otherwise cool room.
“Aw, you poor thing,” Shinso cooed with an air of arrogance, “are you flustered?”
“N-no,” you stuttered, kicking yourself internally for your obvious slip up, “I’m just wondering how the hell you lost so hard to get so many bruises.”
Shinso chuckled at your feeble attempt at a comeback, loving how you were so affected by this change in the atmosphere.
He deifnitely wnated to capitalize on this moment, his digits cradling your face as he forced you to look at him.
He grinned yet again, teeth biting his bottom lips as he gazed at you with a hungry look.
“Aw, but you are-” he murmured, his voice dropping an octave.
“-It’s okay doll, you don’t have to hide it from me...I like seeing you like this,”

This Will Be Our Year
Tumblr media
Summary: Harry comes home with you for your family New Year’s dinner.
Word Count: 3.8k
Warnings: Language. Shitty families. Smut/ Harry’s got a filthy mouth.
A/N: Okay, lets all pretend that I got this out on Saturday instead of Tuesday... Big shout out to @meetmeinfleetwood for making this “to lovers” fic challenge. It was the first fic challenge I’ve ever done! And I loved trying to figure this one out.
I picked ‘Friends to Lovers’ with the prompts: “You think anyone heard us?” & “You keep that photo of us in your wallet?”
>>>
You didn't miss the upward turn of your best friends' lip when you anxiously readjusted the hem of your dress for the millionth time. You didn't even bother trying to steady your shaky hands as they tugged down on lacy black fabric that touched a few inches above where you normally wore your skirts or shorts
"Stop it." You huffed as he let out the tiniest breath of a laugh at your struggle. 
"Sorry, love, think y'look great." He smiled that lazy half smirk that made your stomach flutter but you had no time to worry about that right now. No, right now, you were on your way to visit your parents for the first time in a year.
The excuses of being busy with work, having no time to travel, not having the money for it, or literally any other excuse you could come up with had finally stopped working. Your mother fully demanded for you to come back home for the traditional New Year's dinner your family had every first weekend of the new year. You would have said no, but the second her disappointed voice floated in from the other end of the phone, you knew there was no way out. 
You deeply loved your immediate family. It was the extended family that you could go without. The bitchy cousins who always seemed to be doing better in life than you. Know-it-all Aunts who gave you unwelcomed dating advice or worse, they'd sit and examine why you didn't have a man 
"Yeh sure 'bout this?" He asked from the driver seat, his hand grasped on the wheel so tight you could see his knuckles turning white. "We could fake sick or somethin' if yeh want out. Bad gas station sushi, maybe."
A smile broke across your solemn face. The snort of a laugh that creaked out of your lungs washed a bit of relief over Harry. His hands gently lifted pressure from the wheel.
"Gas station sushi is the best you could come up with?" You teased from beside him, head turning just in time to see that dimpled smile you loved so much. 
"Wha' not believable?" He grinned, playful green eyes shot your way before focusing back on the road. 
You shook your head no as silence fell over the car again. Only one more turn and you'd be there.
"If yeh get uncomfortable, just tug on my shirt and we'll go, yeah?" He said as the gravel from your parents driveway crunched under the car's weight. Your stomach churned at the sight of everyone else already there. Anxiety flaring deep inside of your body, your chest suddenly felt tighter even when you let out a deep breath.
"It'll be okay." Harry said after a moment of letting you try to calm down. His ring filled hand enveloped your own shaky hand that rested on your lap. A calm washed over you from his touch. His warm hands melted away the troubled feeling that was lurking in the depths of your soul.
"I'm sorry in advance for whatever they say." You mumbled, giving his hand a squeeze. You missed the small up turn of his lips from your action, the way his cheeks tinted the softest shade of pink. You thought his cough was to dismiss what you'd said, not knowing it was him trying to himself that you only saw him as a friend.
"'M pretty sure I can handle them, love." He smiled even though you shot him a very unimpressed look. "Wha'? I survived Simon Cowell, think I got yeh family." 
"Shut up." You chuckled as you brushed your hand off your leg. The other flung open the car door before you had a chance to chicken out.
>>>
Dragging Harry along for this dinner was the best idea you'd ever had in your whole life. Your family's attention was so far off you that you barely talked the hour before dinner and Harry was handling all the attention like a champ. His hand pressed to your lower back as your uncle grilled him about every famous person he'd ever met.
"Wait, so you're telling me that you know The Mick Jagger?" Your uncle looked a second away from breaking into a full out fangirl attack. Your lips rolled in your mouth to stifle the laugh that was bubbling in your throat before a harsh squeeze on your hips from Harry had you glaring daggers into him.
He nodded his head full of soft flowly curls, that you always wanted to run your fingers through, before shooting a smirk down to you. 
He was living for this. He loved being able to touch you, lead you around to talk to people. Adored when you playfully shoved him with your shoulder when he said something embarrassing about you. He tried to be as cool, calm, and collected as he could but when you fully leaned into his side his breathing caught in his throat. His hand pressed tighter into you, mostly to hide how much it was quivering from your closeness.
He had tried for over a year to come up with a way to tell you he wanted to be more than a friend. If he was being honest with himself, he wanted to be more since the night you two met, but he was too insecure about himself to speak up. You were just so vibrant. Your laugh, your smile, the way you talked with demand but was always such a sensitive soul. 
He was absolutely fucked for you and you had no damn idea.
You always thought he was too out of your league to even begin to entertain the want of something else with him. He was the great Harry Styles and well, you were just you. You, who happened to be friends with Glenne, who dragged you to a bar for a karaoke night almost two years ago. The rest between you and him was history. You'd gotten along so well and at first, you thought, it might have turned into something more, but he never tried anything more than stupid flirty banter which he seemed to do with just about anyone. So, you dropped it. Moved on. Now he was just Harry, you're really good, super hot, you may think about him when you meditate late at night, friend.
"Gonna get more wine." You said after you drank the last drop from the glass in your hand. You were going to need so much more wine if you were going to be listening to your uncle for the next 45 minutes until dinner was ready.
"Will y'bring me some too?" Harry asked with a glimmer of desperation in his eyes. You figured maybe he'd need the alcohol more than you did tonight. He had been putting up with a lot of crap from your family. 
You nodded your head yes before taking off through the hallways you used to run down when you were a kid, towards the kitchen. Your mind lost in a hazy of memories of you learning to ride your bike on your mothers freshly polished floors while the babysitter sat on your house phone with her boyfriend all night. The time your brother told you carving your names into the fancy trim along the bottom of the floor meant you two would live forever. 
The memories came to a screeching halt when you finally rounded the corner to the kitchen. Your cousin aka the bitch you hated most in the world lounged casually on the counter, her back towards you as she chatted with a friend she had brought along.
"Didn't think I was going to meet Harry fucking Styles. Would have at least done my hair." The girl you didn't know huffed out as you pressed your back to the wall. Desperate to get away from both of them. Suddenly you felt 12 again, hiding from Shannon before she had a chance to torment you.
"Not like you even need it. You already look better than Y/N without it." Shannon snorted out that nails-on-a-chalkboard laugh as your stomach sank. 
"True, girl is a bit mousy." 
"Don't forget annoying. Can't believe someone famous is hanging out with her."
A part of you wanted to turn around and walk away, but the other part was morbidly interested in what she said behind your back. Maybe, whatever she had to say, was what everyone said about you two when you weren't around.
"Think they're dating?"
"Fuck no." She scoffed with so much certainty behind her voice it made you cringe. You knew it was a bit dumb, especially since you tried to not picture yourself with him as much as possible but it still hurt. "Y/N's boring and bland as hell. He's probably too nice to tell her that he isn't interested and he feels bad that she never has any friends or a boyfriend." 
You knew you should have walked away when you had the chance. Every word that was uttered by the voice that caused your childhood trauma floated into your mind with daggers. 
Every bad thing you thought about yourself. Every reason you thought Harry would never like you was now confirmed by someone else.
"It's like his charity work for the year or something."
The last sentence was the one that broke you. Your eyes filled with tears as your feet finally unglued themselves from the permanent spot they seemed to be in. You ran for the safety of your childhood bedroom. Your mind too preoccupied with the thought that maybe, he did feel that way about you, to pay attention to anything else around you. You didn't register that Harry was only a few feet away from you when you slammed yourself into your old room.
The knocks on your door didn't bother you. You could care less to explain to our mom right now about what happened but tried your best to pull yourself together anyways. Your crying turned to quite sniffling when the knocks came again.
"Y/N, wha's wrong?" His anxious voice echoed through your door causing all tears or sniffles to stop immediately in their tracks. What the hell were you going to tell him? Your mind panicked for some lie you could use to cover up the fact you had a breakdown when the door opened, the hard metal of the door knob pushed you out of the way.
"'M sorry fo' comin' in but I saw yeh cryin' and I had to check on yeh." He mumbled uncomfortably from beside you as he shut the door again. "Wha' happened?"
"'S nothin'," you said as you dried your own eyes with the back of your hand. "Just, my cousin saying shit. I just took it a bit too personal for no reason." 
"'M sorry, petal." He cooed as his hand stroked the rest of your eyes off your cheeks away. Your head instantly nuzzled into his warmth. "Wha' was she goin' on 'bout?"
You tried your best to not tense up. Your eyes remained shut, head buried harder against his hand that still hadn't moved from your face.
"Told you, it's nothing. Really, it was dumb and I just- it's stupid H." 
"'S not stupid if it made y'cry." He frowned deeply as he lifted your chin up. Your eyes finally fluttered open to see disappointed written all across his face.
"She just-" you sighed, feeling dumb for being caught up in the moment. Her words stung but your knee-jerk reaction to cry was a bit over the top. You were embarrassed, your skin heated as his eyes trained on you. You desperately tried to look anywhere but him- the floor, the dresser, the door- anywhere. "She just… she said some things to her friend about how boring and bland I am. Said I had no friends and blah blah blah. Just dumb stuff." 
You shrugged, feeling uncomfortable talking about what had happened. You gave him the geist of it without having to divulge into the whole story. You figured it was better to leave the part about you being charity work for him out of it. An angry Harry was the last thing you wanted to deal with today.
"Yeh the least boring person I know." He said, finally breaking the silence. "And yeh far from bland. I mean, look at yeh," he gestured to your outfit, his eyes sparked as your face heated from the attention he was giving you.
"Shut up." You groaned, hands covering your burning face as he wrapped you up in a hug. His chest vibrated with chuckles as you buried your head into the crook of his arm.
"Come on, don't be embarrassed." His chin rested on your head as you fought to keep the pink blush across your face at bay. "Know I think yeh pretty. Prettiest petal've ever met." 
You could feel his body straighten up. Almost as if he got uncomfortable with being so forward with you. His hands held around you just a bit tighter and you could physically hear his heart start to race. You started to realize, maybe, just maybe, you'd been reading all the signs wrong.
You pulled away from him slightly, your lips rolled in your mouth as you peered up to him. The blush that lingered across his nose ran to both cheeks. His jaw clenched together, shifty eyes finally met yours after a long moment of avoiding your gaze. You could see gears turning in his mind.
"H?" You barely breathed out before he surged forward, his lips met yours with so force you were almost thrown off balance. Your hands quickly grabbed on his forearms to steady yourself. Your nails dug into the soft silk fabric of his sleeves as your mouth desperately tried to keep up with his frantic movements.
It was everything you'd ever imagined kissing Harry would be like. Soft, amazing lips pressed to yours. Warmth flooded your system, almost like he was bringing you back to life. His hand rested on your cheek as he pulled you closer, other hand around your waist, helping you keep balance on your tiptoes. Even if it was a bit rushed, it was perfect to you.
But then you felt him go rigid again.
"I shouldn't 'ave done that. 'M so sorry, Y/N, I know yeh don't like me like that and I got caught up and, and-nd, fuck 'm so sorry-" he rushed out in a ramble the second his lips parted from yours. Your eyes barely opened by the time he'd finished his rushed out speech. His hands ran nervously through his curls. Panic radiated off him.
"Who said I didn't like you?" You asked, halfway out of breath. His hands fell from his perfectly messy hair, down to his side. His mouth gaped open as he blinked slowly at your words.
"I, well, I thought-" He trailed off as you both stood there completely dumbfounded. 
You'd both liked each other this whole damn time.
"We're idiots." You giggled. Quickly ceasing the opportunity to close to space between you two again. 
Your arms wrapped around his neck as you pulled him to your level. This time, he was the one pleasantly surprised. The light humph out of him only fueled your fire as you dominated the kiss. Your tongue ran across his bottom lips, begging him to let you in. Tongues danced together in an unknown language as his arms circled you again. Holding you close as your fingers ran through the back of his hair.
It was quick. Both of you moved so fast, desperate for more. More touch, more skin contact. You felt that desire you'd pushed to the side flame to the surface as you both stumbled for balance. Your back was pressed tightly against the door after you both got your footing. 
Kissing was easy, but kissing passionately in an unknown space when you could give two shits-less about anything but each other, was hard. 
It wasn't long before the scruff on his face was burning into your sensitive and puffy lips. He'd taken over control over your mouth so long ago you had no idea where you started and he ended. Your hands, along with his, roamed uncharted territory of each other's bodies. Small gasps and light whimpers were flooding the room but you couldn't be bothered with caring right now. You were finally getting what you wanted, him.
"We should stop." He groaned, half annoyed with himself for trying to be considerate to your family. His forehead rested against yours as you both breathed in deeply.
You whined in protest at his words, your hips involuntarily grinded against him in a sense of desperation. He had winded you up like a damn play toy. He breathed a laugh at your neediness, his head shaking but you could see those dimples popping out when you stared up at him with doe-eyes. 
"Don't wanna fuck yeh fo' the first time in your parents house, lovie." He smiled widely as you let out a disappointed huff. Sure, you understood his point but that throbbing in core wasn't going to be going away any time soon. 
Harry considered it for a moment as he looked down to your glistening chest that was heaving in deep breaths. The swells of your breast had always been mesmerizing but, fuck, right now they look irresistable. His sight finally moved off your chest to your swollen and puffy mouth. He groaned at the sight, his mind instantly wondering if your other lips would look as beautiful when he was done with them.
His hand moved on it's own accord. Slipping up your dress, to your absolutely drenched panties. Your lip tucked under your lip, hips bucking in a need for more when you heard the most glorious moan fall from his lips.
"Can't leave y'like this, now can I, pup?" His lust filled eyes seemed to darken when you shook your head no. Your ruined underwear pushed to the side by his fingers, his breathing catching in his throat from just how fucking wet you were.
You whimpered and whined as he took his time leisurely circling around your clit, his finger skimming across your needy hole only teased you further. You could feel your nipples pebble against the roughness of your bra, feeling left out of the action, but you weren't complaining. 
"Quiet, or yeh gonna get us caught, sweetheart." Harry tried to scold you but you didn't miss the smug look of pride that sat on his lips. "Gonna have to keep you quiet, sweet girl." His free hand moved from the door, to your mouth. Three fingers tapped against your lips for you to open and holy fuck, you didn't think this would be happening today. 
A chill went down your spine as his fingers sat heavy on your tongue. He licked his lips as he watched you mimicked how good you'd suck him off later when two fingers entered you quickly.
"Fuckin' hell," he breathed out, the situation in his pants grew impossibly bigger while you moaned wildly against his fingers. "Jesus, fuck, yeh so tight. Gonna 'ave to prep yeh fo' me later, sweetheart."
You could barely register his words as he pumped into you again. His thumb pressed against your aching numb. He was reaching places inside of you that you'd never been able to reach. Places that you had no idea could feel this good. All sense of control left you as he hit that spot. His hand quickly pulled from your mouth to cup over top of it.
"Sing so pretty fo' me, puppy. Can't wait to hear how you sound when y'on my cock." Your walls quivered at his words, your juices dripped further down your leg as you began to quickly approach your end.
"'M ruin this little pussy later, gonna fuck y'until yeh can't handle it anymore." He started to ramble about how good you felt, how tight you were, how he was going to stretch you over his cock so good tonight that he'd ruin you. Your legs started to shake as your mind melted into a goo of pleasure. 
"Fuck, yeh like when I talk to yeh like that, don't yeh sweetheart?" You weakly nodded at his words, his hand around your mouth making it impossible to say anything but it wasn't like you'd be able to speak right now anyways. His fingers curled inside of you, pumping, his thumb switching from light touches to hard pressure. "I'd let y'talk to me like that later tonight but my dick is gonna be shoved in all the holes I can get into, puppy."
You could feel your eyes roll into the back of your head as the overwhelming flood of your release washed over you. Blinding white lights of adrenaline ran through your veins as you let out a guttural moan from a depth you had no idea existed inside of you.
You were a panting hot mess when his hands finally left your body. Sweet kisses pressed to your lips to calm you down.
"Do y'think anyone heard us?" Harry asked, his lips still hovering over your mouth as you let out a croak laugh.
"You think I care about that right now?" Your eyebrows raised as you peered up to him. His smile growing by the second as he wrapped you in a hug. "Come on, let's go, you have a few promises you made about tonight that I want to hold you to." You giggled as his cheeks flamed red, your hand reached for his but he didn't move. His boy glued in place as his eyes scanned around your old room.
"What?" You asked as you turned around to see him studying every inch of your childhood. 
"I didn't get to see it earlier." He shrugged a bit, trying to not seem like he was hyper focused on every detail. Your pile of old notebooks your mother kept "just incase you ever wanted them again", your old dresser that you'd painted at some point, your rose pattern bedspread, the mountain of books and magazines that were shoved away.
"Wha's this?" He pointed to the huge wall that was covered in nothing but pictures. 
"Oh, uhm, I used to put pictures of me and my friends on my wall. You know, like people used to do before Facebook." Harry chuckled as he shook his head at you. His hand fished into his back pocket as he moved away from you.
"What- what are you doing?" You asked, your eyebrows furrowed tightly together as you moved towards him. The picture of your and Harry's drunken photo booth session from New Year's last year in his hand.
"You keep that photo of us in your wallet?" You finally asked after he pinned it on your wall. His cheeky smile across his face as he threw an arm over your shoulder.
"Yup." He smiled widely as you chuckled from beside him. Your arm rested around his waist.
"Dork."

clandestine meetings and longing stares
juke secret dating au | title: illicit affairs // taylor swift | a middle of the night scribble
When twelve year old Julie Molina got a stern talk from her father that she wasn't allowed to date until college, the tween had no qualms with it. The only boy she's ever liked had been Sokka from Avatar and that was it. Real boys didn't interest her. 
Until she turned sixteen and caught sight of Luke Patterson. 
In the years between, she had small crushes here and there. Lance, Nick, Noah. None, however, competed with storm that erupted in her stomach each time Luke smiled at her - her heart in a constant frenzy. 
It was the beginning of junior year when he randomly sat next to her in music class and brought out all the bravado. It shouldn't have been cute. Julie should've rolled her eyes, dismissed his cute smirk, but she simply couldn't. The shimmering green of his eyes and the nice laugh was too alluring, too attractive. Soon enough, Julie was crushing on him hard. Which was fortunate, since he very much liked her as well, something he never hid from her. 
("Watch out, Julie," he joked during one of their first conversations. "The charm is gonna make you get a crush on me!") 
Luke kissed her two weeks after, chastely and secretly under the bleachers. Her infatuated mind forgot in that moment how she wasn't even allowed to look at a guy and eagerly kissed him back. It had been her first kiss and wow - what a perfect one at that. 
A beat later, she realised her mistake and told him about her dad's stupid rule. His face had crashed for all of ten seconds when a mischievous grin crawled on his lips (an expression that would get her into serious trouble one day) and said: "Why tell him?" 
Had it been any other boy, she would've shaken her head and regret kissing him. But this was Luke. She really liked Luke. The idea of not being with him, of not seeing where this could go, was a greater fear than her father's disappointment. In response, she snatched him back into a kiss he all too hungrily went along with. 
Rule #1: Don't date! Broken, busted, thrown out the window with a smile. 
It started off easy. At school, no one had to worry. She sat with him at lunch and let herself be coaxed under the bleachers and snuggled into his embrace at the end of the day. On the parking lot, she could pretend she was simply saying goodbye to her boyfriend and not going home to lie in her dad's face about why she was so overly chipper all of a sudden. 
(Luke made her so ridiculously happy it was unfair. Each time he surprised her with a hug, her feet lifted from the ground; each time they kissed, his thumbs grazed her cheeks like she was a precious gem; each time she came up with a clever lyric, he gave her the toothiest grin and called her all the cute nicknames he could think of. Boss, baby, babe, Lyric Queen.) 
God, she was complete mush for this boy. Sometimes she wondered if she was doing enough, not quite matching his overt display of affection, but she knew she must be doing something right if he never stopped smiling when she talked. That his eyes held a certain softness, timidness, reserved for her only. 
They outgrew school quickly. Both wanted to go on dates without raising suspicion, Luke wanted to come over and just be with her without causing havoc. 
"Why does the rule exist anyway?", he asked at the end of a cool December day. 
Julie toyed with the lapels of his red shacket. "It's dumb. I mean, I get it, but it's dumb." Sighing, she explained his reasoning. "He wants me to fully focus on school so that I can get into a good college. Once I secured that, then I'm allowed to have fun."
Luke frowned. "I- I guess I kind of get it."
Her eyes rolled teasingly. "You don't even want to go to college." 
"Correction: I wanna go to frat parties and have the college experience-" 
"Without the classes part," she deadpanned. His face fell flat, a giggle of her own following. 
His frown returned, a look she hated seeing. "You don't think he'll… I don't know, let go of that rule when he sees we're good?" His calloused hands slipped from her waist to softly cradle her face. Julie sighed, leaning into the touch. Resisting Luke and everything he did was hard. A smile twitched on his lips. "Would be pretty dope to come through the front door and kiss my girlfriend."
Her heart clenched at his confession. It would be amazing, but it sounded so unbelievable that it could easily be taken as a joke. Dad would go absolutely insane if she pulled something like that. Hey dad! Don't mind me as I jump into the arms of my boyfriend and he kisses me like a heartthrob from the movies! 
She should've known Luke would try something. His impulsivity was an admirable trait, she found, though the pebbles hitting her window past midnight have her such a fright that she cursed for a beat how one track minded he could be. Until she caught sight of him. Eyes twinkling in the moonlight, a wide smile, his casual stance. He pointed at her and she nodded, grabbing her phone to text him there was a ladder by the garage. 
Quiet like a ghost and quick like a fox, Luke snuck into her room, feet falling onto the floor with a soft thud. 
Butterflies raged in her stomach. Her secret boyfriend was here, in her room, right now, with her father sleeping just down the hall. 
"What're you doing here?", she whispered, already breathless from having him near. 
His nose scrunched up. "Trying to be romantic. Should I have called you first?" 
She shook her head. "It's fine. Maybe next time. It's-" Her arms slung around his shoulders, heart hammering a mile a minute. Her pyjamas were nothing special, an oversized pullover and sweatshorts, but it felt oddly intimate to be so cozy together. His own faded t-shirt was from a zoo in Oregon and his sweatpants softer than any of the ones she owned. Julie almost asked to borrow them, if it wasn't for his lips to swallow the words with a warm kiss. 
Her fingers slipped into his hair. Yeah. This was better than talking. 
It soon became routine. Every other week, Luke would text her a moon emoji and then climb into her room around midnight. They'd kiss and cuddle, Luke often leaving by five am and then making a whole show at school as if he hadn't seen her. Julie thought it was cute. If she could, she'd return the favour and go to his place, but Luke assured her she did not want that and, consequently, her father would just know. Unfortunately, she didn't have Luke's agility like some parkour champ. 
"Trust me, Jules, I don't mind," he told her at lunch while stealing a cherry tomato. "I like sneaking in."
Alex shot him a look. "You like feeling like the main character of a movie, that's what."
"You brainwashed me with romcoms, so it's your fault, dude,' Luke retorted, grinning when the blonde flipped him off. 
They got cocky though. Julie knew her dad would be gone during the day for a photography gig in Santa Monica, all the way on the other side of Los Angeles. It was the perfect excuse to get Luke over. Excited, Julie opened the front door for him with a flourish and did a silly courtesy. 
"Your first time using my door," she teased. "Must feel special."
His cocky nod made her roll her eyes. "Super special," he replied gravely, playing along. "She's been begging for me."
Her expression turned sour. "I haven't been begging for you." 
His smirk widened, tugging on a curl as he slipped past her. "Was I talking about you?" 
He didn't, but he did start making out with her the second they were in the safety of her bedroom, so she knew there wasn't much competition. 
That afternoon, they successfully avoided her dad's wrath and felt arrogantly confident about it. It made them daring. Pushing the limits, how far could they go, how blatant could they be before he knew? It was almost a game, the thrill part of the insane attraction she felt each time he snuck in. 
His strong arms were wrapped around her as she straddled his waist, kissing him. Every touch was languid and intentional, a searing passion that rippled her skin and left her mind empty. Kissing Luke always put her in a dreamy, blissful haze. Her fingers clawed at his shirt and he shrugged it off in one fluid motion, pulling her back in. His skin was warm, hers to explore. Julie grinned into the kiss. His fingers toyed with the hem of her top.  
"Julie?" 
They froze. Her dad. Other side of the door. Shit. Shit, shit, shit. As quietly as possible, the girl hoisted herself from his lap and motioned at her closet. 
"Julie?" The door handle began to shake. 
Her voice squeaked. "Just a second!" Luke tiptoes into her closet, Julie kicking his shirt under her bed as she ran to the door. Her flushed cheeks would be a dead giveaway had her father ever doubt her trust. Fortunately, Julie Molina was in the eyes of her family a perfect good girl. 
(The guy hiding in her closet would whisper something else in her ear.)
"Why is your door locked?" Dad frowned. "You never lock your door."
Julie shrugged, innocence leaking from her tone. "I can't have some privacy?" 
"Of course, Julie," he said, though his lips were pressed into a thin smile. This clearly wasn't the last time they'd talk about it. "I'm going to the store. Do you need something?" 
"No, thanks," she rushed. "Anything else?" 
"Uh, no. Don't lock yourself in, hm?" It was said as a joke, his brows lifted, but both she and her father knew he meant it. No more locking doors. Shit. 
When the front door fell shut and the car rumbled into the street, Luke reappeared with a careful smile. 
Julie sighed. "That… was close. Maybe we should stop hanging out right after school. I didn't even hear him coming up the stairs."
"Damn, Jules!” Peppering two kisses on her forehead, it did little to relief her stress. “Now that's an ego booster."
"I'm serious!" She huffed. "I hate this. I hate the rule and I hate that I'm making you put up with it."
"Hey, hey," he soothed. "It's shitty, yeah, but you're not making me do anything." Nodding at her lips, he added: "Your smile is already…" 
The smile bloomed on its own accord when he trailed off, edging closer. "What?" 
That little shake of his head almost made her kiss him, but she wanted to know what he was going to say, why his lips were parted in that wonderstruck expression. When nothing came, a curious hum rumbled in her throat as she placed her chin on his chest. 
He relented, tapping a finger against her cheek. “Your smile is already making me do dumb stuff.”
Oh, God. If he was going to continue saying things like that, she might actually fall in love with him. Back when Julie and Flynn were still obsessed with those relationship quizzes in magazines, she always claimed she’d like guys that weren’t so smooth with their words. She thought it meant they were players. But Luke never half-assed anything. 
Her head tilted, amused. “Do you always have words ready?”
“Zero words, Jules,” he quipped. “Ever.”
Yeah, she might actually love him. 
Public dates became a thing after that conversation. She simply couldn’t let him get away because of some rule, even if he claimed he wouldn’t. Eats & Beats was a cute, little café in the heart of Los Feliz with live music and amazing lattes; it was also their regular spot. They’d settle themselves into a booth, share a baked good (“If we’re trying the carrot cake now, we’re doing the pastel de nata next week.” “Deal.”) and talk for hours. Sometimes, when either was tinkering on a song, they’d work on it together.
One leg overlapped his, his fingers drawing pictures on her knee. The booth with the suede red couches and the scratching of a star in the wood was their safe haven.  
“Mh, no,” she swallowed the piece of muffin. “That’s such an ugly word, don’t use that.”
He grinned, shoulders nudging as a tease. “Drencher not doing it for you?”
A laugh bubbled up, kissing his cheek. “Just use ‘rain’, you dork!”
“Dork?”, he mocked, getting in her face. 
“Yeah.” Her nose brushed his. “Dork.” 
“You are a dork.”
“That’s the best you’ve got, Patterson?”
Luke smirked, eyes flicking across her frame. “Want me to show you my best, Molina?”
She pushed his face away, a blush creeping up her cheekbones. They haven’t done it yet, but whenever he got like this, she felt her entire skin heat up at the mere idea. A part of her wanted to take that step, but she felt bad doing it if her dad or tía didn’t know. Knowing that they wouldn’t support her for as long as the rule existed, made her settle with that heat for a little longer. Her leg slipped from his and turned back to his songbook. 
“So-”
“Julie?”
The couple looked up, once more paralysed as her dad’s familiar voice called her name. Why was he literally everywhere?! His tall figure stood in front of their booth, his hat shrouding the grimace on his face as his scrutinising eyes flitted between them. Oh, God. Did he know? Did he see? How much did he see? Did he see Luke checking her out? Mortification didn’t even come close to what she felt. 
“Dad!” Her pressed smile hopefully looked relaxed to him. Her dad had moments of obliviousness; she might be able to save this. “What- hi, I didn’t know you had a booking here.”
His suspicion didn’t waver. “Yeah, honey, for the Rodriguez’ - I told you last night. Was just getting, ah, coffee.” He nodded at Luke. “Who’s this?”
My boyfriend. The one I’m falling for. The boy I’ve been hiding for months. “This is Luke, he’s one of my classmates.” The way his arm tensed at the label made her ache, but she had to truck on. “We’re working on a song.”
If he didn’t believe her, she just hurt her boyfriend for no reason. It did the trick though. Her father’s face mellowed, noticing the scribbles in the tattered book. “You’re working on a song?”
“Yeah. It’s really getting along.” Her finger tapped against his thigh. “Right, Luke?”
He perked up, a cough following as he straightened his attitude. This really was not the way she wanted them to meet. “Uh, yeah.” His hand stuck out. “Hi, mister Molina.”
Dad shook it with a smile, fully relaxed now. “Ray. Nice to meet you.” The barista called out his name. “See you at home, Julie. Don’t stay out long, yeah?”
Her smile twitched and crashed the second he turned around, grabbed his coffee and closed the glass door. She groaned, dropping her head on his shoulder. “I’m so sorry.”
“I gotta be honest,” he whispered. “That hurt.”
“I’m sorry.”
Luke sighed. “I was okay being a secret before, but…”
She coaxed his jaw, needing him to look at her. “It’ll hurt more if I tell him and forces me to break up with you.”
For a moment, silence sunk onto the table, wedging itself like thick smoke between her and Luke. He seemed pensive, the green of his eyes peering. Suddenly, they lit up. “But wait, aren’t you getting your results? Early admission?”
She sagged in her seat, pouting. “If UCLA wants me.”
“They will,” he smiled. His arms wrapped around her. “Of course, they will. And if you get in, he can’t be mad that you’re dating me, right?”
Hope tinged her chest. She hasn’t considered that. She’s been so focused on Luke and trying to keep it hidden, that everything college-related went over her head. The letters and essays and interviews happened before she and Luke got serious, so with her being on that pink cloud ever since, school stress has been locked away. Why bother mulling over UCLA when she could be having fun with Luke? 
If she locked in UCLA… then Luke might be right. And if not UCLA, then she’d hear of USC and NYU next year. (If they were even still together by the time those letters got in the mail.) 
“You might’ve found the loophole,” she teased, hoping to lift the tension. And then she uttered out her biggest fear: “But if you haven’t… will you stay?”
His kiss answered her, soft and sweet and with a hint of blueberry muffin. A grin bloomed on her lips, burrowing her face in his shoulder. She felt it. That overflowing, unbridled adoration overwhelming her all at once. Julie loved him. It was April fourteenth and it only took her six months but Julie loved Luke. They stayed in the booth until they had to go home.
Her phone was mocking her. Luke and her were in her car, stagnant, as both stared at the white screen. Every few minutes, she refreshed it, yet no email came. Gah! Couldn’t colleges just send the email when they said they would? What was taking so long? Did that mean she didn’t get in? Was this a bad sign? It helped having Luke there, easing the rising stress that clenched her ribcage, but she wouldn’t be fully okay until that freaking email come through. 
As if sensing her thoughts, he drummed against the dashboard. “It’s gonna be cool. You look great in blue and gold, you gotta get in.”
She giggled, nerves lacing her tone. “Imagine if that’s how you got in. You’d get into USC then.”
“Are you saying I look hot in red?”, he teased. 
“You know you- oh my God!” She lurched for her phone as a new email pinged in, heartbeat stuttering in her ears. Frozen, her thumb hovered over the fated email. This would change everything - for better or for worse. She knew she should focus on the fact that it would determine where she’d go to college, but all she could think about was Luke, Luke, Luke. Was it selfish to care more about junior prom then UCLA? At this very moment, she thought it was completely justified. 
She shook her head. “I can’t. I can’t do it. You open it.”
His brows raised. “You sure?”
“Yeah-” She stuffed the phone in his hand and put her trembling ones on her lap. “-do it for me.”
Luke took a deep breath. Julie shut her eyes. Please. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please accept her. Please let her be with Luke.
Ten seconds passed. His voice gave nothing away. “Julie?”
“Just rip the band-aid off,” she choked out.   
A familiar, calloused hand softly grabbed hers. Her eyes cracked open. Luke had the biggest smile on his face and it made her heart pop out of her chest. She bit down on her lip, fighting off a grin. “Don’t play with me.”
“I’m not,” he sang, reaching across the console to show her phone. You got accepted! blinked in bold, black letters. “You’re UCLA bound, baby!”
Euphoria burst out. Julie squealed, throwing her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a searing kiss. She got in! She fucking got into college! A great one at that! Another Molina was going for gold! 
And it might even get her to date Luke without secrecy. God, she hoped this was enough. She wanted to do everything with him. All the time, the entire time. Flynn has called them clingy, but Julie just wanted to get rid of the anxiety of her dad finding out. To finally relax and be fully with him.
Her head tilted, bashful. “Is it crazy to say that I might be in love with you?”
He dropped her phone in the cupholder and peppered another kiss on her mouth. “No. That’s good.” His thumb traced her bottom lip, eyes glittering with adoration. “Cause I’m pretty sure I’m in love with you too.”
She pecked his thumb, giddy. “Fuck it. Let’s tell my dad right now. About UCLA and you.”
He smiled. “You sure?”
“One hundred percent.”
Storming inside the house, the couple made a beeline to her dad’s office, his hand in hers. 
“Dad!”, she called out, door slamming open. Her startled father perked up in his seat, his wide eyes going from Julie to Luke right behind her. “I got into UCLA!”
Ray sprung up, cheering. “Mija-!”
“And I’m dating Luke!”, she yelled after. “And that’s okay, cause I got in, so you don’t have to worry about the rule anymore! So... ” She put her foot down, awkwardness creeping in her tone. “Yeah!”
Flabbergasted, dad faltered and let the cheers die in his throat. Luke came to stand next to her, squeezing her hand. Slowly, he nodded. “Ah… so that time in Eats & Beats-”
“A date,” she admitted. “And I’m sorry I went behind your back, papa, but I… really care about Luke. And we figured that if I got in, you’d stop enforcing the dating rule.”
His grap became even tighter. “I, uh, really care about her too,” Luke mustered. “Sorry that we kept it a secret.”
Ray sighed, propping his head in his hands and scrubbing the confusion away with his palms. The pair shot each other a look. He wasn’t mad, she deduced, so that was a good sign at least. Finally, dad moved again and gave her a tight hug. Her confidence grew, hugging him back and withholding a cry of victory. 
He pulled back, crossing his arms with a hint of amusement. “Well… the rule clearly didn’t work, but you seem happy and you- you did actually get in, right?”
She laughed, nodding, and showed the confirmation email. His smile grew. “Then I guess,” he trailed, “you’re allowed. To date. But no funny business!”
Julie quickly nodded, grabbing back onto Luke’s arm and jostling him in excitement. Luke bounced on his heels, trying to temper it but failing miserably. She thanked her dad, promised him they’d celebrate her acceptance later tonight and rushed back out with Luke. Dad yelled something about establishing new rules, but both gleefully ignored it. Once in her bedroom, he snatched her into a tight embrace, kissing her full on the lips. Julie whooped against his mouth and danced between his arms. This might be the best day of her life! Luke was her real real real boyfriend!
“You heard your dad, Jules,” he teased. “No funny business.”
She pouted, faux-peeved. “You won’t get to climb through my window again.”
“Won’t have to hide in cars anymore.”
“Won’t have to say you’re just my classmate.”
Luke dragged them onto her bed, laying side by side. “I can take you to junior prom.”
She kissed him with a giggle. “You’re taking me to prom?”
“Hell yeah, I am!”, he bellowed, drumming his fingers against her hips. “Let your dad take pictures of us and everything.”
She scrunched her nose. “Let’s maybe not push him just yet.”
“Yeah,” he exhaled, humming in agreement. “You’re probably right.”
Luke did that her to junior prom, to homecoming, to senior prom, called her hot in blue and gold and vetoed no when she begged him for a bright, blue velour couch for their first apartment. When someone asked her father what it was like, seeing his daughter find the one at sixteen, he had to admit with embarrassment red on his cheeks that it all flew under his radar.
That it all started with sneaky bleacher kisses and a hopeful heart.

How They Handle Spice w/ Bakugo, Kirishima, Tamaki and Izuku
Hello :) I hope everyone's having a good day and enjoying some good food! This is how they handle spice and how they react to you with spice! Hope you enjoy it - Bee
তততততততততততততততততততততততত
Katsuki Bakugo
Honestly it's just canon at this point that he loves spicy foods
He can't get enough of it, he's always adding chili oil or just straight up chili flakes to his food basically no matter what
His tolerance for it is absolutely insane! Sero and Denki put some ghost pepper in his ramen one time to prank him and he barely noticed. He only noticed because of the flavor smh
Because of this eating anything he specifically made for himself is almost impossible for the normal person, good luck snatching his lunch, your mouth will be on fire for hours after wards
If your eating anything spicy when your near him and you can't handle it without downing water every five seconds you will never hear the end of it
He will tease you relentlessly about it while handing you a glass of milk. He might be a bit rude but his soft spot is big
Now if your eating spicy stuff and taking it like a champ?? Completely different story
He will 100% challenge you to see how high your tolerance is, he can't let you beat him
If you don't beat him he'll tease a bit but not too much. He'll get you a glass of water or milk and make sure your okay though, he can't help his soft spot for you
If you beat him??? Congrats on being a try hard! You're both almost crying at the end but finally he breaks and starts drinking his water/milk, you are more than welcome to tease him about it until the day he drops dead though
You deserve to :P
তততততততততততততততততততততততত
Ejiro Kirishima
Kiri thinks being able to handle spicy food is extra manly.
He himself can handle lower levels but nothing too spicy and he wont go out of his way to add any spice.
He's worried the cook might see it as an insult or he might ruin the dish from adding too much
If your able to handle spice super well and have it a bunch? He will not stop calling you manly
Eating spicy ramen? "That's so manly of you!" Eating literally anything with chili oil? "Whoa! Your so manly for eating that! Your insane!"
It's cute but sometimes you just wanna eat some spicy stuff in peace.
If you have no spice tolerance at all then he's very understanding. He doesn't bring it up
He doesn't want to make you feel bad on accident.
If you end up eating something spicy on accident he'll be there in seconds with some water or milk and a napkin in case you wanted to spit it out.
Overall, very manly of him :)
তততততততততততততততততততততততত
Tamaki Amajiki
Seeing as his quirk is related to food in such an extreme way, he wants to make sure he could eat anything if he needed to.
Can't fight a villain if your mouth is on fire from a spicy dish!
He 100% did it out of pure anxiety, he didn't want to end up messing up an important fight because he wasn't able to eat something due to it being too spicy
Now that doesn't mean he's a god with spice though
He wont actively seek spicy things every meal but he will have at least 5 meals or snacks that are spicy a week so his tolerance doesn't go down.
He definitely knows if your good with spices or not, he can't help but pay attention
If your really good with spice and actively add it to stuff he'll point out what's the spiciest thing in the cafeteria or on the menu
It's simple but it shows you he cares :)
But if your really bad with spice he'll make sure you don't accidentally order something spicy
Of course if you do end up eating something spicy on accident he's there to offer you a glass of milk or water. He doesn't like seeing you in pain :)
তততততততততততততততততততততততত
Izuku Midoriya
He cannot handle spice. Like at all.
He used to be okay with it, especially because of Bakugo.
But once he hit middle school he stopped eating it and because of that his tolerance is super low.
He isn't really bothered by it but if you say anything about it he's going to try to start building a bit of a tolerance just to impress you.
If you can handle spice then he's going to try and build his a bit
He wants to be able to seem cool to you and keep up!
If you can't handle spice he's pretty relieved, another person who can't handle spice!
If you end up accidentally eating something spicy he'll feel really bad and quickly grab you some water. It's what he drinks when he has something spicy

When
Steve Rogers Drabble
Tumblr media
Timeline: None / AU
Rating: SFW
Prompt: Anon asked for Steve dealing with passing on all his pre-serum illnesses to his son
A/N: It’s Angst.
MasterList
Tumblr media
Steve had always marvelled at how big his hands were in comparison to his son's head, how easily he covered most of the damp blonde hair as he gently stroked it. The short, silky strands tickled his palm, but the man found it difficult to smile at the sensation as he knelt by the bed at one in the morning. The boy's skin under his hand was fevered and clammy, his baby blue eyes misty and exhausted as he looked at Steve's face. "One more breath on three. One, two - perfect." He placed the inhaler at the side of the bed before pulled up a few pillows for the child to lay back on - the rasp in still too evident as tiny lungs struggled to work correctly.
He felt so guilty.
When his son had been born, it felt like the single, most incredible moment of his life, and that would never change as far as Steve was concerned. The boy looked like him; blonde hair, blue eyes. He had the sweetest smile to get him out of trouble, but he was stubborn too and full of the same fearless spirit Steve had had as a kid. Then, as his son got older - as his son got sicker - the guilt began to gnaw away at the edges of Steve's happiness.
It had started in earnest when Steve had been playing with his toddler, rolling a ball back and forth until the boy missed and the ball rolled over to the others. Bucky had insisted on getting a ball pit, and as a result, the small plastic orbs were everywhere. "I get!"
"Let's get the red one, champ," Steve said as he watched his son get up in that unique toddler that somehow included all fours and a butt in the air. He ran to the small pile and returned to Steve, brandishing a green ball like a trophy, all smiles and bouncing feet. "Good job - that's a green ball though. Can you get a red one?" It wasn't that Steve was bothered by the colour they played with; he just felt it was good to practice colours with him.
"Otay!" Again he ran to the pile and grabbed a ball, pausing before looking at Steve hopefully, "Wed?"
Steve shook his head, "That one's blue." This happened a few more times, the man remained sweet with his son, but each try gave him cause for concern. The toddler wandered back to Steve, tiny hands clutching a yellow ball, holding it up almost anxiously, small, little eyebrows scrunching together. "Yeah," Steve ruffled his hair and smiled, "Nice one. What colour is Daddy's t-shirt?"
All smiles again, he replied confidently, "Gwey!" There was a shrill giggle as Steve scooped him up and tickled him - desperately wanting to get that anxious look off his child's face.
His t-shirt was blue.
At first, Steve hadn't worried too much; colour blindness wasn't a big deal. He had had it pre-serum days. But then the first actual asthma attack happened, and Steve had wanted to scream. He'd faked a smile and told his son that it would be okay, that the inhalers weren't a bad thing and they were better than what he had growing up. His heart ached when he watched his son trying to keep up with the other kids in kindergarten. Pride briefly smothering the guilt when the kid pulled out his little blue inhaler and powered on.
Steve remembered being left behind because of his asthma.
By the time his son was five, he had asthma, colour blindness, a heart murmur, regular fevers, and another pending test. His child was everything good in his life, so why? Why did Steve have to pass on everything that had been bad about himself?
Steve held in a sigh as he placed a cool cloth on his child's forehead, leaning in to kiss his head and brushing his hair back, "You gotta sleep, fella. Big day, ya know..." He was almost too frightened to leave the boy without a guardian tonight, his frail, little body seeming too weak to handle another asthma attack.
"Hey, Dad?" the boy glanced up at him with glassy eyes, long eyelashes catching the wetness of tired tears, "Don't worry, okay?" He reached up and pat Steve's hand, "I got this."
Steve's eyebrow cocked up, and he half grinned at the absurdity of his sick child trying to give him comfort, "I know you do." He leaned down to kiss his crown again, chest inflating slightly as he held in a sigh. "But I'm your Dad, and it's my job to worry a little when you get sick. And I gotta make sure you sleep because Uncle Buck said he was bringing you the biggest candy apple he's ever seen."
His son gave a weak giggle, coughing afterwards and prompting Steve to grab his water bottle. Encouraging him to take small sips until settling him back down with a strained smile – it was getting harder and harder to hide just how fearful he was for his child. "Don't worry. I'll better - just like you did!"
"Like… me?" Steve had to swallow the lump in his throat, had to not wince as it felt like razors shredding his windpipe.
"Yeah, the lady at the museum told me that you used to get sick when you were little too, but now you're a hero!" The sudden excitement, the pride, the utter adoration lighting up his son's eyes hit Steve harder than any fist. "I dunno when I'll get better, so I just gotta wait. Oh!" He sat up and pointed at the dinosaur figure he had on his bedside table, "We saw real dinosaurs at the museum too! And my teacher said we had another field trip soon and that you need to give permission and -"
Steve poked him in the nose and smiled at the undignified squeak it induced, "It's sleep time, champ, not talk time. I'll sign your permission slip in the morning, and you can tell me all about the dinosaurs." Steve got up off the bed and headed to the door, "You want Orange flavour or berry?"
The boy wriggled a little, pushing the blanket further down his small body, smaller than other kids his age; his cheeks were a little more flushed as his fever burned a little hotter, "Berry." Steve's hand had only just turned the doorknob when the boy spoke up curiously, "Dad?"
"Yeah, champ?"
"When I get big like you, when I get better too – Can I be your sidekick?"
Steve put on the best smile he could, licking his lips and nodding absently, "As if I would have anyone else." He stepped out of the room and made it three steps before silently sliding down the wall and burying his face in his hands. He wasn't being fair. He wasn't being kind as he gave false hope to his son. The guilt was choking him; it clawed and scratched and bit into his very being.
'When'
His son was always waiting for 'when'.
The small, frail thing that Steve treasured more than anything else in the world was waiting to become like him. To be strong and healthy. There were no serums for his son, no miracles beyond what medicine could do for him – 'when' wasn't coming. The false hope that Steve's very existence gave his child killed him a little more each day.
One day he would be faced with the angry, resentful eyes of his son; he would demand to know why Steve had made him like this. Why was he stuck in a body that wanted to fall to pieces? A body that - hurt - and ached and tried to give up on him again and again and again.
And one day, Steve was going to have to tell the boy who idolised him that he had to stay behind because he was too ill to fight alongside him.
'When' was a word that Steve Rogers loathed almost as much as himself.

Starker Smut: Helping Uncle Tony
Thank you to @petercherryparker for giving me my first commission! It means so much to me that you were willing to give it a try and for being patient with me since I haven't done this before either 😅
Summary: 
Uncle Tony somehow fucked up his hands and has them both in casts.
Peter volunteers to help then he helps.
Notes: uncle/nephew incest, handjob, frottage, come swallowing, anal sex, dirty talk, praise kink, size kink, ambiguous age for Peter, first time
WC: 9139
(AO3 Link)
💗💗💗
"Boss, Mrs. Parker and your nephew are requesting entrance."
Tony pauses in his rambling speech. Dictating. He's dictating the lines of code for his next project while he lounges in the lab. On the screen, Friday completes the last line before she automatically switches to the security camera on the first floor.
His sister, Mary Parker, is waiting impatiently and there, a familiar mop of curly brown hair… His nephew. Peter.
"What time is it again?" Tony mutters but he's already getting up.
It's a bit difficult because he can't use his hands. Both hands are stuck in bright red casts and are covered from his knuckles all the way down to his elbow.
He hates them but he's not letting them stop him from working on his tech.
"Think I can beat them to the penthouse?" Tony says when he gets into his private elevator.
Peter did text earlier that day with a message saying they were coming over from Queens. He's been so caught up getting this program done that time just slipped through his fingers.
"Probability just reached 0%," Friday informs him and he finds out why when the doors ding open.
"Tony!" His sister is already waiting for him in the penthouse and judging by the look on her face, she knows exactly where Tony's been.
She rounds up on him, scarier than his assistant and his board of directors. "You're supposed to be resting," she sighs with exasperation.
"Yeah, you know that's unlikely," Tony says without missing a beat. "It's my hands that broke–" he wiggles his immobilized arms at her for emphasis, "–not my brain. You know I can't just stop."
In response, Mary softens but she tries to hide it by clearing her throat.
"I know and that's why–" she turns back towards her son and tugs him forward, "I'm lending you this one to help you."
"Hi, Uncle Tony," Peter says shyly from her side. He gives a little wave but doesn't really look Tony in the eye.
"Hey there, champ," Tony says, distracted, before he turns back to Mary. "You know I can't do that to him, Mare. It's summer break, he should be– I dunno, going to Jones beach or hanging out with his friends. All that fun stuff."
Mary's lips thin in that way which means she's about to start arguing but surprisingly, Peter interrupts.
"Actually– I'm the one that bugged mom about helping…" Peter says as he steps closer.
Tomy's gaze switches to him and his brows scrunch in confusion. Peter's cheeks take on a pink hue when their eyes meet, a peculiar reaction that Tony's gotten used to. His nephew's always been a sweet but shy kid.
"Pete, I really appreciate it, but you don't gotta be stuck with me when you should be having fun," Tony reiterates but the boy stubbornly shakes his head.
Peter's curls bounce in that cute little way that makes Tony want to pet them. His expression mirrors Tony's, brows scrunching adorably in the middle and honey brown eyes going all soft and pleading.
"It'll be fun!" Peter says firmly and what gets to Tony is that he actually sounds genuine. "I always have fun when I'm with you, Uncle Tony… And I get to see all the cool stuff you're working on… Maybe even help you make some stuff?"
The last bit is said with those puppy eyes turned up to max efficiency and Tony's resolve crumbles. He could never say no to his one and only favorite nephew. Mary knows it, too, because there's a smug little grin on her face.
"See, there you go, Tony," she says. She pats Peter's shoulder fondly. "How long did the doctors say your cast has to stay on?"
"A couple weeks…" Tony says in defeat. "But I should be fine if Pete just wants to stay a week…"
"Mom can drop off more of my clothes on Sunday," Peter says, excitement pitching his voice higher. He bounces the duffle bag in his hand to show the older man. "I brought some clothes already. Toothbrush, too, so you don't gotta worry, Uncle Tony."
Looking at his nephew's puppy dog eyes, of course, Tony can't refuse. Besides, his nephew is right. They always have fun when they're together and ever since the Parkers moved to Queens, they just haven't had as much time. He has missed his nephew even when work keeps him busy.
"Alright, you got me, kid," Tony says, "we'll try it out for a week, okay?"
"A week," Peter agrees but somehow, Tony feels as though he's the one humoring Tony instead of the other way around.
"Brat," Tony says fondly.
Mary sticks around for a few minutes more but she eventually decides to head out. Before doing so, she pulls Peter aside for some last minute words.
Tony tries not to eavesdrop but considering he's right there, it can't be helped.
"I want you to remember what we talked about in the car," she says seriously. "I know you and Tony like to mess around in the lab and do all your sciency stuff but Uncle Tony's recovering, okay, Pete?"
"I know, mom," Peter says dutifully. "Even if we're having fun, I need to help Uncle Tony and make sure he doesn't do anything to hurt his hands."
"That's right, sweetie," Mary smiles, "and you know your Uncle Tony. He's always jumping ahead of things so I need you to really be on top of things. We want Uncle Tony to get better and that won't happen if he doesn't let it heal properly. I need you to be his hands until his gets better."
"I can do that, mom," Peter promises sincerely, "I'll watch him like a hawk and he won't even lift a finger while I'm here."
"That's really sweet but–" Tony has to interrupt.
"No buts!" Both Mary and Peter cut in. Tony ends up pouting at them but he really can't refute anything Mary says.
When she's finally gone, Tony looks at Peter and smiles awkwardly.
"Just you and me, kiddo," he says to break the silence.
"You and me," Peter smiles brightly then perks up like an eager puppy. "Wanna show me what you were working on before mom and I got here…?"
And just like that, the awkwardness vanishes.
Tony grins and makes a grand gesture towards the elevator.
"Let me show you to my lair…"
---
They settle into a routine and truthfully, Tony's having the best time of his life.
It starts off slow because even if he's the one that needs help, he feels bad asking for the simplest things. Peter takes his job seriously though and has a keen eye for when Tony's itching to do something.
Peter takes over all the things Tony would struggle to do and he does it so effortlessly with no complaint. It leaves the older man feeling a tiny bit embarrassed at his dependency but he's grateful.
It becomes easier to just let Peter handle everything and soon, Tony relaxes into their routines.
His nephew is a god-send. He has all of the Stark smarts and none of the bullshit that Howard hammered into Tony's head since he was young.
This means that Tony can ramble on and on about his work and Peter keeps up astonishingly well. He listens with wide eyes, lips parted as though Tony was speaking prophecies. Even better, the kid throws back ideas, suggestions that make Tony's mind whirl with fantastic possibilities. It's surreal, it's wonderful, it's just how they are.
Tony and Peter.
"I really should be paying you," Tony groans when the boy digs his thumbs into a stiff muscle.
Peter has some magical hands and somehow, he just seems to know where to press on Tony's back. He kneads the tension right out of the older man's shoulders and Tony has to slump on the desk so he doesn't tip over out of pure ecstasy.
"Not taking your money, Uncle Tony," Peter sounds exasperated but there's a fondness to it that softens the bite.
"You're basically babysitting me," Tony still tries to convince him. "How about $800 a day? Dunno what the going rate for babysitters is but I'll throw in a bonus cause you're my cute little nephew."
Tony knows Peter won't take it so he's just rambling for fun.
Peter, though, goes quiet and his hands pause in their motions. His arms come around from behind and his chin settles on Tony's shoulder.
Hugs are nice and it isn't the first time Peter's helped himself to one. The older man doesn't think much of it, only squirms cause Peter's breath tickles his neck.
"I'm just happy being here with you, Uncle Tony," Peter tells him honestly. "I really missed being able to just walk a couple of blocks and hang out."
Warmth blossoms in his belly and if it was anyone else, Tony would've pulled back emotionally and physically. But Peter has always been like this, always loved hugs and affection. Once again, he has Stark blood but he's better.
Tony would usually pat the boy's hand but with the casts, he's more likely to be reprimanded. So instead, he slowly turns and Peter moves with him so that they're embracing. Even then, Peter's careful with the casts and makes sure not to brush against them.
"I missed you too, kiddo," Tony admits. "I'll make sure we have more hang out days when my hands are good, okay?"
"I'd like that," Peter mumbles into his shoulder.
Peter's mom drops off more clothes. She's satisfied that Tony is doing better, even smiling more frequently. Peter glows with pride beside him.
A day shy of being together for a week and Tony wakes up tangled in his sheets, body sleep-warm and cruising from pleasant dreams.
"Morning!" Peter cheers as he walks in carrying breakfast on a tray.
Tony's mind is still all fuzzy without his morning coffee so he just lays there and hums in acknowledgment. The bed dips under Peter's weight and the silence is so unusual that Tony peaks an eye open.
The boy's bottom lip is caught between his teeth while his cheeks are flaming red.
"Kid?" Tony's voice is rough from sleep. It startles Peter and those honey brown eyes shoot back up to his face.
The blush doesn't recede though.
"Um… Do you… need help, Uncle Tony…?" Peter mumbles, edging closer so that his knee presses against Tony's blanketed thigh.
"Help…?" Tony echoed. "Help with what–"
Peter's eyes dip down and this time, Tony follows him.
"Oh," Tony groans, aghast.
He's sporting some serious morning wood. And well, it's to be expected if he really thinks about it. Before his accident, Tony was a heavy believer in self-love. One can even say he's a serial masturbator, but he just… hasn't been able to do anything about it with his hands out of commission.
Sometime during the night, his dick must've slipped through the slit in his boxers so the only thing keeping him decent is the thin blanket over his lap.
"Just– ah, fuck. Just ignore it," Tony says, embarrassed.
He can't even hide it under a pillow or turn over. Both require the use of his hands which… Not possible.
"That can't be comfortable…" Peter still mumbles, completely ignoring Tony's instructions. "It looks really… big. And uncomfortable. Does it hurt…?"
"Not as much as my pride," Tony grumbles. "Can't you just… I don't know, put a pillow on my lap? It'll go away if we both ignore it."
It's an embarrassing situation and Tony's barely holding it together. He's been caught in all sorts of scandals but never one so personal as this. If it's embarrassing for him, it's probably worse for his poor nephew.
He expects Peter to listen to him, to save himself from this awkward mess and just leave him to his breakfast.
What he doesn't expect is to feel Peter's curious hand on his cock.
Tony sucks in a sharp breath, eyes flying open in disbelief.
He's not mistaken.
Peter is leaning over him, one hand gently gripping the base of his covered cock.
"Kid… What are you doing…?"
Tony fights against the need to thrust into his nephew's hand. His cock doesn't care who it is that's helping him out, it just cares that it's getting some love.
"Uncle Tony…" Peter breathes out as he looks at Tony with wide but determined eyes. "Mom said to make sure you're comfortable… If I do it like this… I'll make it go down faster, right...?"
His hand on Tony's cock starts to move. It steals away the words Tony wants to say as his hips twitch towards the source of friction. This shouldn't be happening, he shouldn't be feeling so good from Peter touching him...
"That's–" The older man tries to stop this but his words stutter and fail. "You shouldn't, Pete...!"
"Am I doing it wrong…? Am I making it worse?" Peter's lips tremble into a frown. It looks so wrong on his nephew's sweet face that Tony shakes his head, unwilling, even then, to upset the boy.
"Feels good..." Tony tries to stifle the moan working up his throat. It comes out as breathless gasps instead while his legs shift restlessly in the bed. "But you shouldn't…"
The frown melts away to reveal a sweet, happy smile.
Peter looks so determined, eyes focused where his hand is moving up and down over Tony's hard length. He's doing it so gently that it makes Tony's body crave for more, for a firmer grip.
"I don't mind doing it, Uncle Tony," he says while stroking Tony's cock. "I know it can hurt… And you're already going through a lot. I love you, Uncle Tony, and I want you to feel good."
What can Tony say in the face of such sweet words? Even if he wanted to, he couldn't bear to stop him now.
"Let me take care of you, Uncle Tony," Peter says. "Oh– let me…"
Tony groans in defeat when Peter pulls the blanket down. There's no hiding it now.
His cock stands proudly between his legs, fully erect from Peter's ministrations. It's flushed a rosy hue, prominent veins up and down the length… A thick mushroom tip that's darker in color than the rest of the length.
"Pete…" Tony says, helpless but so turned on when Peter resumes his duties.
His hand wraps around Tony's cock again, no hesitation, and Tony tries to stifle a moan that works up his throat. This is not the right response but it feels so good… Just the sight of Peter's hand wrapped around him sends arousal skittering up and down his spine. It looks so obscene, too. His nephew's finger can't even fully encompass the girth of his cock.
"Like this, Uncle Tony…?" Peter asks as he starts to stroke again. His thumb swipes over Tony's leaking cockhead and his hips jerk from the sensation.
All rational flies out the window.
"Ah– T-tighter…" Tony gasps.
The desire for release rises to the forefront so embarrassingly quick that the older man bites down on his lip to ask for more.
Peter complies with such sweet obedience that Tony moans and then oh– it's heaven. His nephew is clumsy and a bit awkward in his attempt but it smoothes out into something beautiful when Tony's hips start chasing after his hand.
His eyes are mere slits as he throws his head back. His hips jerk desperately into the sweet grip milking his cock. He doesn't think about what he's doing even when Peter continues to make soft encouraging comments.
It should freak Tony out but he's caught off guard. The loss of the use of his hands has affected him more deeply than he anticipated. The pleasure sings through him after just a week of not being able to do this and he craves it with a ferocious hunger that scares him with its intensity.
Just a week and Tony's hips are thrusting into his nephew's touch. His cock is leaking. He swears that his cock is so hard for Peter and that he's never been as hard for anyone else. Peter, his sweet innocent nephew, is the one making him feel so good, it's sinful.
Peter… He shouldn't be doing this to Peter but the boy's so focused on his task. The pink in his cheeks is so alluring… And how has Tony never noticed the shape of his lips? Or how it looks so soft and inviting, parted the way it is. Tony could easily slip a thumb right between and what would Peter do…?
Tony could just imagine the shock in Peter's pretty brown doe eyes and then the way they'd slowly drift closed. The pleasure of a new discovery would make his nephew's features slacken. Would he suck on Tony's fingers? Would he moan for his uncle…?
The older man hisses when Peter squeezes him just right, bringing him right to the edge. Tony struggles to cling on. It's so wrong, so wrong… His precum is dripping all over the boy's fingers, but Peter's not stopping.
"Uncle Tony… Is this okay? Does it feel good?"
Peter has such good intentions even while doing such a dirty act.
"Pete– Pete, I'm gonna…" Tony groans out the words but his eyes slip shut in defeat.
"Oh!" Peter knows what's coming but his little nephew surprises him again in the most delightful way.
An even sweeter heat envelops his cock. Just the tip but this new sensation is warm and wet. Tony can recognize that type of heat anywhere and he loses it. Peter's mouth is on his cock.
His eyes fly open and he's treated to the sight of his nephew's pink lips suckling on his cockhead. Peter looks up at him with wide eyes and his hand still makes sloppy, aborted jerks in an attempt to maintain his rhythm.
Such a good boy...
Any semblance of control completely deteriorates and Tony comes with a shocked groan. His cock pulses, balls drawing in tight, as he shoots into his nephew's mouth.
It happens so quickly and his muscles tighten with the intensity of his orgasm. Peter tries to take it all, every single load that Tony sends pulsing into his mouth.
It's too much for him. Tony sees it when the rush of cum gets too much. Peter's eyes widen even more and he pulls back coughing with his uncle's cum dripping down the corner of his lips.
He goes back down like the champ he is though and tries to take the rest of Tony's cum. He gets a load shot across his face for his efforts and the image will be forever seared into Tony's mind. Peter looks so beautiful with Tony's cum on his face that the older man can't find it in himself to even feel guilty.
He does feel bad, though, when Peter's face crumples in dismay.
"Oh, God, I-I'm sorry, Uncle Tony." His bottom lip even trembles. His distress is genuine and Tony's barely catching his breath. "I was trying not to get it everywhere… I thought I could do it but I made a mess. I'm sorry– Let me go get some paper towels and I'll clean it all up."
Not having the use of his hands is such an inconvenience. He can't even stop the kid from running off but he tries.
"Peter," Tony says firmly enough that the boy pays attention. His tone softens when the boy hesitates. "Pete. Just wait a minute, okay. Just– C'mere. Lie down next to me, okay?"
Peter does as he's told. He must be feeling even worse than he says because he scoots in close and curls up against Tony's side. The reality of the situation becomes an urgent need to discuss what just happened but Tony's mouth has gone dry.
"I'm sorry…" Peter whispers in the silence and Tony's heart aches.
"Hey, hey," Tony tries to soothe him. He can't turn onto his side so instead, he says, "Look at me, kid."
Once those brown eyes are back on him, Tony takes in a deep breath. He refuses to do anything that would make his Petey cry or feel bad. God forbid he do anything like that, his nephew's too good to him.
"Nothing to be sorry about, Pete," Tony says gently. "You really helped me out, okay? And– ah… Was that your… first time doing something like that…?"
Peter flushes and his lips press into a displeased line.
"Was it obvious…?" Peter mumbles, looking away.
To Tony, it had been but he's not gonna say that.
"Only cause I've been around," Tony says offhandedly. "But there's nothing to be sorry about, Pete. If anything, I'm sorry that I wasn't in better control."
"You were fine, Uncle Tony!" Peter protests, "And besides, you shouldn't be doing anything strenuous so really, I should be the one to, um, take care of all of that."
Tony wants to argue, of course, especially given the circumstance but he knows he's unlikely to win. And maybe… maybe, he doesn't want to win in this one.
So instead, he hums in acknowledgment.
Peter's hand creeps up his chest as the boy curls against his side.
"Did it feel good though…?" he asks quietly, hopefully. "I can do it better next time."
Next time… Tony's mind latches onto the words and even worse, his traitorous body floods with excitement.
"It was amazing, kid," Tony confesses. He turns just enough to kiss the top of Peter's head. "You did good, sweetheart… So good…"
That sweet smile that Tony has come to love so much spreads across his nephew's face. Peter practically glows with pleasure, a pleased little smile on his face. Tony practically melts in the face of it.
"You know, in things like things, I'd really want to return the favor if that's something you want, too," Tony says then before Peter can protest, he adds, "I can do other stuff that won't hurt my hands."
The boy looks perplexed for a moment but then his face brightens as he considers the proposal. There's something he wants and Tony would give him anything and everything.
"Kiss…?" Peter asks softly. "Can we do that…?"
The question surprises the older man. Peter has just given him one of the most mind-blowing orgasms Tony has ever had and his sweet boy is asking for a kiss…
"Of course, angel," Tony replies easily.
When he goes to lean down for a kiss, he can't help smiling at how Peter's eyes drift closed and his lips make the slightest little pucker.
Their lips touch, a gentle and chaste kiss but when he pulls away, Peter's eyes open and there's a quiet wonder in them.
"Wow…" Peter breathes. "Again? Please, Uncle Tony?"
Tony chuckles in response but instead of answering, he just presses in for another kiss and another and another… Until they're both lost in one another.
 ---
Because of what happened, there are drastic changes but some things also stay the same.
Tony tries to be the good, responsible adult he's always worked to be but Peter won't let things go back to how they were.
"Helping" his Uncle Tony feel good becomes an imperative task to the boy.
Tony protests at first. He feels like he has to put an end to it but little by little, those objections become half-hearted attempts that fade into drawn out moans of appreciation.
Whenever he looks down at Peter between his legs, he thinks, 'fuck, I'm going to hell…' but then another thought kicks in. It may be very much worth it when he has his angel of a nephew sucking him off. Those pretty pink lips… They feel so soft and warm and perfect on his cock…
The moment his resolve broke entirely is the first time he guides Peter into getting off. He can't stand the thought of being the only person feeling good. It's even worse when the boy would squirm on his knees, shyly pressing the heel of his hand against his own little problem.
Nope, Tony isn't having it.
Peter's cute little face is flaming red and Tony knows that he badly wants to flee to the bathroom to take care of himself.
"C'mere, kid," Tony breathes.
Peter shuffles closer and then gasps when Tony slots his leg between his. Tony's knee bumps against the boy's hand, pushing it against his covered erection.
"When my hands heal up," Tony starts to say, "I'm gonna make you feel so good, Pete. Gonna touch your pretty little cock and make you come for me."
The boy whimpers, a soft, pleading sound, but his wide eyes flutter in pleasure. His mouth trembles, a clear indication of how Tony's words affect him.
"But for now…" Tony nudges his leg closer and in response, Peter's hip jerks forward. "Move your hand, Pete… Let me feel it."
"Uncle Tony… That's…" His sweet innocent nephew has had Tony's cock in his mouth on multiple occasions but he still can't say such dirty things. It makes Tony feel so bad that he wants to dirty him up.
"It'll feel good, angel," Tony promises him, "for both of us. I'll make me feel really good to know you're getting something outta this, too."
Peter's eyelids flutter as he considers it. It doesn't take him long to decide either.his nephew is a good kid but the promise of pleasure convinces him.
"Should I take it out?" Peter asks hesitatingly. The very tips of his ears turn bright red, an adorable reaction.
The possibility crosses his mind, an image of Peter creaming his pants if he chooses not to take it out.
Tony's mouth goes dry.
"If you want to," Tony encourages instead of outright saying yes like he wants to. "Don't want you to chafe against your jeans or anything."
The boy bites down on his bottom lip before nodding thoughtfully.
"It's not as big as yours," Peter says as though warning Tony. It's cute that he even thinks that that would matter to Tony.
Regardless, Peter unbuckles his belt and tugs his jeans down though he has to wiggle a little to get them down his thighs.
Tony gets a glimpse of the tent his boxers make before he tugs those down too. His hand shyly covers his erection, glimpse of pink flesh between his fingers before he reveals himself.
"Oh, you're perfect, sweetheart," Tony promises.
Peter's cock is indeed smaller than Tony's but it fits his boy well. It's just as dainty as the rest of his body, perfectly proportionate to the more slender build he has.
His nephew blushes adorably as he circles the girth of his cock with his hand. He gives half-hearted strokes as though unsure of what to do now that they've reached this point.
Tony gladly takes the reins.
"I want you to press close to my leg," Tony instructs gently, "Just like before, Pete. Since I can't do it for you… Just listen to my voice, alright, angel?"
The blush on his cheeks may as well be a permanent fixture. Tony hopes Peter never loses this endearing quality, so shy and eager for his uncle's touch.
Peter leans closer, his hands resting on Tony's leg.
"Ah…" the soft exhale gives away the moment Peter's cock comes in contact with Tony's leg. Besides that, the older man feels it, hard and so hot even though his pants.
"Move for me, baby," Tony tells him. "Just like earlier… You can rub against me, I don't mind…"
His leg muscles flex as he nudges his leg closer.
"O-okay, I'll try…" Peter mumbles, peeking at his uncle with darkening eyes.
His hips start to move. At first, the movements are barely noticeable. Even when Tony feels that hard outline brush against him, it's still so faint. He lets Peter take his time though, just watching the boy slowly lose his inhibition.
"Mm…" that first soft moan is a victory to the older man even when Peter tries to clamp his mouth shut.
Their eyes meet and the boy shudders, dark, thick lashes threatening to cut their connection. Peter holds on though they tremble. His mouth looks soft, lips parted around an O of pleasure.
"That's it, baby…" Tony encourages the boy when his hips start to move. "Feels good rubbing against me, right? Even if I can't touch you… Can't jerk you off, you like me seeing you like this…"
"I… I do…" His nephew answers in a soft whisper as though it's a secret between them. "It feels… feels good…"
His hips start to really move and Tony can feel his nephew's cockhead grazing up and down his leg. Peter's still too shy.
"Good, sweetheart… That's good…" Tony doesn't push. "Wanna make my best boy feel so good…"
More pleasure causes the boy's expression to slacken but his grip on Tony's leg tightens. It isn't long before he starts to lean against his uncle.
Tony then takes the opportunity to press forward.
"O-Oh!" The cry of pleasure that Peter makes and the harsh jerk of his hip is worth Tony playing dirty.
He expects Peter to pull away but perhaps his nephew has been wanting this much longer than he initially knew. Once Peter feels that delicious friction against his cock, it's like his hips glue themselves to Tony's leg.
It's all there on his face, naked and exposed. Pleasure and need.
He presses in tight, his cock a firm solid line of heat against the older man.
"There you go…" Tony almost coos to the boy. "That feels better, doesn't it, Pete?"
His own cock starts to thicken in his pants again. He's amazed by how quickly he's recovered. That's the effect Peter had on him.
"Uncle Tony…" Peter whimpers softly. There's a desperate edge there as he clings to Tony's knee. The older man recognizes it well.
"Go on, baby," Tony encourages hungrily, "Keep going, keep rubbing against me… Wanna make you feel good too, Pete."
Peter can't seem to keep his eyes open so they're squeezed shut. His pretty mouth, though, is parted, letting out the breathless little moans that have Tony's ears straining for each one.
His hips jump in desperate jerks as he chases after his pleasure and Tony's voice guides him along the way.
Tony knows the moment Peter's right at the edge. His nephew's face is flushed, sweat-damp curls sticking to the sides of his face. Honey brown eyes look at him through barely there slits.
The older man just wants to eat him up, especially when Peter starts to say his name in that breathless needy tone.
"Uncle T-Tony… Uncle Tonyy… 'm gonna…" Peter mewls. His brows are scrunched up in the middle, mouth trembling.
Tony wants to sink his hands in Peter's hair and just haul him for a kiss. He can't though– such a shame.
"A-ah…" Peter comes with a soft cry, eyes squeezed shut, and body shuddering violently.
There's a rush of warmth when his cum spurts messily over Tony's leg but the older man just continues to murmur soft praises about how beautiful Peter looks, how gorgeous and good his sweet nephew is.
Peter shudders one more time, his cheek pressed against Tony's knee. Tony hears the boy's harsh breathing but ends up sucking in sharply when Peter's hand slides up and between his legs.
His fingertips bump against Tony's half-hard cock upon finding out his uncle's predicament, Peter looks up at him with pink cheeks. His eyes are at half-mast, the most enticing bedroom eyes that Tony's ever seen.
It kills him that Peter's probably unaware of just what it does to him.
"Uncle Tony…" Peter murmurs as he nuzzles against any part of his uncle he can reach. "You're hard again…"
Tony swallows, Adam's apple bobbing.
"Yeah…" he doesn't deny it, "Watching you, Pete… God, you don't even know what you do to me, do you…?"
A sweet smile pulls at Peter's lips and his touch grows firmer as he runs his fingers over Tony's swelling length.
"I'm just me, Uncle Tony…" he says like he thinks Tony's just being nice. "Want me to help you again…?"
"I'm not gonna say no…" Tony chuckles then leans back when Peter shuffles closer.
Getting hard so soon after having Peter's mouth is something that hasn't happened before. But then again, he hasn't had his sexy nephew rubbing against him before either.
Peter's mouth closes around his cock and Tony groans at the feeling of his tongue swirling around his cockhead. He leans back and watches, enjoying the sight of his nephew's pretty lips stretched around his cock.
That tiny nagging thought that this was wrong has all but disappeared. Peter's gaze locks with his own as he seeks approval and Tony gives it happily.
"Good boy… Such a good boy…" Tony sighs.
He'll find more ways to return the favor.
 ---
Week two edging into week three.
They've just returned from his doctor's and Dr. Cho has declared that his hands are healing up nicely. She says it with surprise as though she had expected Tony to come in with a sheepish grin, hands banged up and in worse condition than she left it.
Of course, Tony attributes the progress to his blushing nephew and she nods in understanding. He introduces his nephew to her as his amazing little helper. Peter blushes at the praise but Tony can tell he's happy about it. He listens even more closely to Dr. Cho's advice and tips for recovery than Tony does.
It's progress but she also says that it may take a few more weeks. Tony reassures her that he's in good hands.
When they get back to the penthouse, Peter disappears into the guest room that he's claimed his own when he first arrived. He barely uses it now, preferring to stay in Tony's bed, but most of his stuff is still there.
There's a report waiting for Tony in his email so he lets the boy be.
Around dinner time, he seeks him out to find out what Peter's craving for.
The door to Peter's room is cracked open but Tony still doesn't want to just walk in and possibly startle the boy.
"Pete?" He calls out. "I'm feeling for some burgers, what do you think…?"
He nudges the door open and his jaw almost drops.
"Uncle Tony–" Peter's face is flushed in that adorable pink shade that Tony's come to love and this time, yeah– it's appropriate.
His nephew is shirtless and bent over the side of the bed, those sinfully tight jeans of his pooled around his ankles. He's reaching back awkwardly and Tony follows the length of his arm down… down… where the boy has two fingers nudging into his little hole.
"Am I interrupting?" Tony asks dryly. He shuts the door behind him even though they're the only ones in the penthouse.
"Um, no," Peter mumbles shyly as he straightens up, "I was kinda hoping you'd come in sooner actually."
"Were you now…" Tony says as he walks towards him. It feels like there's a hook pulling him closer and he's unable to resist.
He takes in his nephew's lean form, eyes going from top to bottom and making a show of it. Peter's gotten bolder and more daring in the time they've spent together so if he's inviting his uncle to take a look at him, Tony will.
The older man has come to know Peter's body almost as well as his own. Even then, Peter still takes his breath away every time, especially when he's like this.
His nephew is just the perfect twink. He has a slender build with just enough muscle on his arms and legs that it hints at strength. Not to mention his skin, paler than Tony's, just takes on such pretty color when he's aroused.
Tony watches as the flush deepens when Peter sees him looking. It crawls down his neck, sweeps across his collar bones, and makes it midway down his chest where his pink nipples stand peaked.
His half-hard cock bobs in the air between soft thighs and Tony's mouth waters with the need to suck on it just to hear the boy cry.
"I looked up how to do this…" Peter admits coyly, calling Tony's attention, "But I was thinking that maybe you can help? Please, Uncle Tony?"
Tony's ready to jump right in but there's a hunch tickling the back of his mind.
"What brought this on?" He decides to ask.
His nephew gives him that sweet smile that Tony knows he can't resist.
"I, ah, just figured you'd like this better?" Peter says. "I know I've gotten better with my mouth… But this would be better, right?"
"Oh, sweetie," Tony murmurs. "You don't gotta do that for me."
Peter's sweet smile turns into a pout. He kicks his jeans off in a blatant disregard for them and then completely naked, he presses in close to his uncle.
"But I want to," Peter says stubbornly. "Wanted to make you feel even better, Uncle Tony. And since Dr. Cho said your hands are doing better, I thought maybe we could celebrate…?"
Those sneaky, greedy hands of his rest against Tony's chest then start to slide down. It's done in such a teasing manner that Tony wonders where his sweet, innocent nephew learned such a thing. It tugs at all of Tony's desires, his nephew's familiar touch eliciting such a keen response.
"I heard it could feel really good…" Peter murmurs. His face tips up, lips just begging to be kissed. "Can't you show me, Uncle Tony?"
"Fuck, kid…" Tony gasps when Peter starts to touch his cock. "Didn't need much convincing before, don't think I need it now either but I like it when you try."
The bright smile Peter gives him says he knows just how hard Tony finds it to say no to him. In this case, it was never even a possibility.
"Wanna show me what you were trying so far?" Tony prompts even when he lightly presses Peter's hand down harder on his cock.
Just as expected, Peter's hand slips away when Tony shows the slightest inclination to use his hands. The kid's concern for him is too much sometimes even when it has Tony feeling so warm from the inside.
"I can do that," Peter says. He leans up and presses a chaste kiss to Tony's lips before turning back to the bed.
Just like before, he positions himself so he's bent over. Tony gets the perfect view, his nephew's bare back presented to him with its adorable scatter of freckles. And further down, past his slim waist, a perfect peach just begging to be grabbed and squeezed.
He has to swallow the lump in his throat when the boy reaches back and pulls his cheeks apart to reveal a glistening pink hole.
"Christ, kid…" Tony breathes, "if I didn't know any better, I'd think you're trying to give me a heart attack."
"Uncle Tony…" Peter protests and wiggles in place.
Tony only groans at that and comes closer. He wants to touch his nephew so badly… He has to force himself not to reach out and just do it.
"What were you using?" he says to distract himself.
"I, uh, took some of the vegetable oil when I first tried…" Peter admits, shyly, "But, um, this time, I took one of the lubricant bottles you had in the nightstand? I hope you don't mind…"
Tony wants to shake his head at the vegetable oil comment but he's glad Peter isn't using it anymore. He only wants the best for Peter and he wants the kid to feel good too. Subpar tools, even if they work, just aren't good enough for his boy.
"Not at all," Tony says reassuringly, "it's better, isn't it?"
"Yeah, definitely better," Peter agrees breathlessly. One hand inches closer to his glistening hole. "Wanna see, Uncle Tony?"
His cock wants him to do more than just observe but Tony knows that waiting is worth it, especially if he gets to see Peter playing with himself.
He licks his lips.
"Yeah, baby, show me what you were doing…" Tony says. His voice drops to a low, intimate murmur.
His nephew, excited and so eager to please, squirms in place. Maybe even rubs his hard cock against the bedsheets.
"The stuff I read said to go slow," Peter says as he starts to nudge a finger in. "Go slow and use lots of lube."
Tony hums in agreement as his nephew starts to dip his finger in and out. He watches hungrily as that single finger pushes in smoothly. The boy's tight little rim clamps down, basically clinging to the small intrusion before Peter slips it back out. It's the worst kind of tease, watching his beautiful boy's body begging to be filled.
"One finger feels okay… Two is…" Peter cuts off with a hitched gasp as he adds another.
"Tight…?" Tony suggests.
"Mm… ah… y-yeah…" his nephew groans.
Tony comes even closer and lays a hand on Peter's trembling flank.
"Uncle Tony–"
"Shh," Tony soothes the boy, "Just touching you, kid, not gonna try to press hard or anything."
Peter's skin is warm beneath his fingertips, but he longs to feel the jump of muscles under his palms. Later, he tells himself.
The boy settles down, grudgingly accepting that Tony is being careful. Maybe part of it is that he wants his uncle to touch him as much as Tony wants to.
"Breathe, sweetheart," Tony instructs, "Breathe and relax… Bear down when you push in and it'll help."
The boy obeys beautifully, those slim fingers nudging in slowly when he inhales. A soft whimper escapes him when he does it.
"Don't rush it," Tony gently tells him. "You gotta work for it, Pete. Get your hole used to being stretched like this."
He knows what it's like being an overeager teen, knows that there's been a hunger in his nephew every time he's handled Tony's cock. How long Peter's wanted him, perhaps Tony will never know.
"That's it, kid," Tony encourages when Peter's body relaxes, melting into the bed. "You're gonna have to put another one… Gotta stretch yourself good for my cock. Your fingers are so small compared to what you want… You do want my cock in you, don't you, Pete?"
The boy shudders and whimpers, wrist flexing and fingers pumping faster at Tony's words.
"I do, Uncle Tony…" Peter groans, "Want you to put it in me…"
Tony caresses the boy's side soothingly, still light enough that Peter doesn't protest. Not only that, but the boy actually arches into his touch with a soft moan.
"I will," Tony promises, "as long as you're ready for me."
His cock throbs in his pants and he's tempted to ask Peter to help him out of them. But his nephew looks so caught up in the moment, eyes squeezed shut in concentration as he works himself loose for Tony.
Tony sneaks a hand to the band of his sweatpants and nudges it down. He hasn't bothered to wear underwear since Peter's been so greedy for his cock so his sweatpants are the only obstacle.
"One more finger, baby," Tony says soothingly, "One more then–" he presses his cock, blood warm and so hard, against the boy's ass and Peter's eyes fly open at the touch.
"Oh–!" He leans up to get a look and his eyes lock on the older man's cock.
Tony, himself, loves the view. His cock is ready, swollen to an intimidating size with prominent veins decorating the length. His cockhead, a deeper color than the rest of him, is already damp at the slit.
With Peter's eyes on him, Tony nudges his cock forward toward the boy's fingers stretching his hole apart. The cockhead bumps against them and his breath hitches in his throat.
"Oh, God…" Tony hears Peter moan.
Those slim fingers retract, leaving Peter's pink hole to close around nothing. It looks so desperate, lubed up and ready to be fucked but not quite yet.
Even so, Tony takes the opportunity to rub his cock right there, his sensitive tip brushing against Peter's equally sensitive hole. The boy shudders and he even rocks back, trying to get his uncle's cock to slip into him.
But Tony makes sure that besides teasing them both, his cock doesn't press in.
"One more, kid," Tony reminds him. He reaches over and nudges the lube towards Peter. "Add more, too. You'll need a lot more if you want my cock inside you."
A soft whine is all Tony gets but Peter hastily obeys because he knows Tony's won't continue if he doesn't. The cap is popped off and more lube is added to the boy's wet fingers. It's probably more than he actually needs but Tony isn't going to call him out on it.
"Good boy…" Tony murmurs when Peter returns to the task.
He presses three fingers to that soft little hole. The excess lube drips down and Tony catches it with the tip of his cock. While Peter starts to finger himself, Tony lightly spreads the excess lube along his length. He wants to be ready for the boy, too.
His breathing is harsh but Peter's is even more evident. The boy is moaning, eyes watching his uncle while he gets used to the stretch.
He has three fingers nudged in now. The skin around his hole is rosy and wet as he works his fingers in and out slowly. Soft, sloppy sounds combine with his moans and Tony decides to add to it.
"See, I knew you could take it, baby," Tony praises him, "Three fingers… Almost ready for me..."
"'m ready… So ready, Uncle Tony," Peter swears, cheeks red and hips rocking.
His fingers push in deeper, past the second knuckle, and his entire body shudders. He's trying so hard to show Tony that he can take it.
"I know, baby… I know," Tony murmurs softly. "Take em out, Pete. Gonna put my cock inside now."
A soft exhale then a soft moan as Peter extracts his fingers. "Ah…"
The pink little hole, worked open to accommodate his cock, slowly closes but in those few seconds, Tony can imagine what his nephew would look like with a gape. He just wants the use of his hands so that he can spread the boy apart with his thumbs and just tease him there with his cock until neither of them can take it anymore.
"God, Pete… The things you do to me…" Tony groans when he presses his cock right against that wet hungry hole. "Wanna just… do really bad things to you, Pete… Wanna fuck this tight hole of yours until you're loose and dripping with me… Wanna make you mine..."
The boy whines and rocks against him. This time, Tony doesn't pull away. He groans when he feels the inviting heat of Peter's hole slowly opening around his glans. So warm and tight…
"You can, Uncle Tony," Peter pants, "if you want to… I want it too, please…"
Tony breathes in harshly then slowly starts to sink in.
Despite Peter's efforts, the sheer size of Tony's cock is still so much to take for someone as inexperienced as his nephew. Peter gasps and his hand clenches in the sheets, hips instinctively pulling away from the penetration.
It's still just the tip but Tony pauses anyway.
"Keep going…?" Tony gives Peter the option to tap out but the boy shakes his head adamantly. Those endearing brown curls bounce as he rejects the very idea.
"N-No!" Peter's voice shakes and his entire body trembles. "I-It's a lot…"
More deep breaths but Tony could see the boy trying to relax.
Tony leans down so his chest presses lightly against Peter's back. Gently, he slips a hand around the boy's hip and between his legs.
He finds Peter's hard cock and gently rubs it, up and down, with his fingers. The cast makes the movement clumsy and it takes away from Tony feeling the warm, heavy weight but it does the job.
Peter whines and grows restless beneath him, body tight with growing pleasure but also softer and more welcoming.
"More, Uncle Tony…" Peter groans. He reaches back, tries to spread himself open with one hand for the older man.
It's too tempting to resist… Tony nips the boy's shoulder before he straightens himself. His hands aren't healed enough to carry the weight of his body and he's not chancing the possibility that they have to stop because he hurt himself again.
His cock sinks in slowly. Inch by inch, he works his erection into the boy's body with short, gentle thrusts. He has to, for his sake and Peter's.
The boy is so tight around him and everything about it is too much… It's not just the sensation either, though the heat and pressure around him are enough to leave him breathless.
It's the fact that it's Peter. It's his nephew that's making him feel good. The boy's moans are what's making Tony unravel, those soft whimpers and the eager, almost desperate way that his body silently begs for more.
When he gets that last inch inside, they're both panting with exertion. Peter's knuckles are white where they're curled in his sheets but everything else about him is full of color.
The tips of his ears are red, his lips, a trembling pink, and his shoulders… Down to where that pink little hole, stretched so tightly around his cock.. That, too, is such a rosy color and Tony's barely even put it to use...
Tony runs a hand down the boy's trembling back and Peter melts into the touch.
"Too much, sweetheart?" Tony asks. His voice is strained, his entire body is struggling not to just fall into instinct.
"'m okay," Peter whimpers, "m okay…"
Despite saying so, Tony gives him as much time to adjust as he can. It's only when the boy becomes restless once more that Tony starts to move.
When he does, he intentionally seeks out that sweet spot in Peter's body.
One of the reasons why he hates not being able to touch Peter is because he couldn't stimulate that spot inside him. He couldn't show Peter all those sensitive areas that could have pleasure bursting like fireworks.
He intends to do that now.
Every push in and every pull out threatens his control but he grits his teeth and bears it. Peter moves with him, clumsy and unrefined, just trying to fall into the rhythm that Tony sets. Tony guides him into it with a hand lightly set on his hip.
His fingers itch to press down but Tony focuses on his initial task.
Peter is just so receptive, so eager for this… He moans and cries out with every thrust but Tony knows when he finds his sweet spot. With his hips angled just right, Peter's entire body jolts when Tony's cock brushes right there where he needs it.
"Mm!" The boy cries out. His hips push back harshly, chasing after that shock of pleasure.
"There it is…" Tony groans and aims for it again and again. "Found your sweet spot, Pete."
"U-Uncle Tony…!" Peter cries out. More words try to come out but all he can manage is a jumble of moans and whimpers.
The moans that come out of the boy are on a whole other level. They're high pitched with shock and it melts into drawn out whines even as he pushes back desperately.
Tony gives it to him just like he wants, just like they both want. Their bodies fall into a perfect rhythm, Peter pushing back while Tony fucks forward.
Pleasure is shared between them in a continuous loop, strengthening with each pass. It's not sustainable though and Tony feels it the moment Peter comes from being fucked.
That tight, warm space he's made for himself in Peter's body just clenches down so viciously that Tony's thrusting aborts. His eyes squeeze shut as he tries not to blow his load right then and there.
"Oh– oh, fuck, Pete…" Tony grunts. "You coming, baby…? Fuck–"
Peter whimpers beneath him and when Tony's hand slips between his legs, he finds wetness on the sheets and dripping down his thighs.
"You, too–" Peter groans once he's regained speech, body clenching down and massaging Tony's cock. "Please, Uncle Tony… Want you to finish, too…"
Tony hissed but he starts up again with harsh thrusts that have his hips slapping against Peter's ass. He isn't going to last long, especially now that he knows Peter's already come.
Sweat drips down from his hairline and the older man grunts in exertion. Peter just lays there, his entire body willing and accepting every thrust.
And then, just like before, he reaches back and spreads his cheeks apart for his uncle. Tony gets the perfect view of his cock stretching that pink hole apart…
"Come in me, Uncle Tony," Peter begs softly. "Please, Uncle Tony, wanna feel it… Wanna feel you come inside…"
"Pete– Oh, fuck, Pete…!" It's enough to push Tony over the edge.
He buries his cock right to the root and his balls press tight as he starts to unload inside his sweet, begging nephew.
He groans in completion and it's accompanied by Peter's soft whimpers as he's being filled. The pleasure overwhelms him and it's so good that it almost hurts.
He doesn't know if it's intentional or not, but Peter's tight walls milking his cock becomes too much. He's too sensitive in the aftermath.
Tony pulls out with a hiss then groans when his cum comes spilling out and drips down in thick trails.
Immediately, Peter's fingers are there, so curious and tracing over his used hole and Tony's cum seeping out of it. The look in his eyes is full of wonder and somehow, still so hungry when he looks at Tony.
And God help him, Tony can't resist him. Doesn't even want to.
He's still panting and coming down from his high when he says, "C'mere, sweetheart."
Peter goes eagerly, arms wrapping around Tony's body and face tipped up with a pleased smile.
"Was that good, Uncle Tony?" Peter asks sweetly. There isn't even a hint of insecurity in his voice, he knows his uncle so well now.
Tony wraps his arms around Peter's waist, pulling him close and kissing those irresistible lips.
"The best, Pete, the best," Tony tells him. "You always take such good care of me…"
The boy nuzzles close, so affectionate, so perfect.
"Always will, Uncle Tony," Peter promises and Tony knows he means it.
There's no stopping what they have now.

Out of the Woods
Chapter 5: The Cure
Characters: reader, Rowena
Pairing: Rowena x reader
Summary: An explosive argument leads to you running away and puts Rowena in danger.
Editor: @miss-moon-guardian​
Tumblr media
*****
Rowena was okay.
Mentally, that was. Physically, she was wounded, badly so; body littered with injuries, clothes drenched in dried blood.
But she was okay. Despite everything she'd been through, she still had it in her to tease and smile all throughout the drive home. Sam and Dean were kind enough to offer it, and there was no way either of you could refuse. Traveling back by bus or taxi would lead to questions you couldn't answer and comments you didn't have the energy to retort to.
So the Winchesters it was.
Sam helped you walk Rowena inside while Dean carried your bags, leaving them in the living room as you'd instructed him to. They offered further help, anything you needed, but Rowena was adamant that you were fine. You were big girls, and this wasn't the first time one of you had gotten hurt. You would be fine.
It wasn't a lie. You would be fine. But, as you walked Sam and Dean out and the three of you said your goodbyes, your mind kept flashing back to that horrid day in May three years ago. The day that had started out alright. That, just like today, featured a fight and you running off.
The day you'd returned, having cooled off enough, to a messed up hotel room. Furniture upturned. Blood sprayed everywhere. Rowena's charred body lying amidst the destruction.
For a moment, you could feel the putrid smell of burning flesh, and you were back there, and your heart was racing just as helplessly, just as fearfully as it had back then.
Rowena hadn't been hurt badly since then. Her injuries now couldn't compare to what Lucifer had put her through, but you hadn't had to take care of her to this extent, hadn't had to nurse her back to health, since that day.
She waited for you in the living room as you'd left her, seemingly bored out of her mind, looking through her purse absent-mindedly. She perked up as you walked in, lips grazed by a smile. Clearly happy to see you. Satisfied to have you all to herself, for as long as she wanted.
You shared the sentiment. Just like years ago, you never wanted to part from her again. Never wanted to leave her side. No matter how angry you were, how frustrated. It didn't matter anymore; nothing mattered except that she was here, she was safe, and she was yours. And she trusted you in ways she never trusted anyone in her life.
It was a privilege you took pride in.
"Okay," you said, looking her over. "Let's take your shirt off. I need to know what I'm dealing with."
Rowena raised a teasing eyebrow. "My, my. Thirsty, are we? I missed you, too, love."
"Yeah, you covered in blood is such a turn on," you deadpanned.
"You know I'd never kink-shame."
Because some of the shit she was into was too much even for the likes of you.
"I'm so blessed." It was only half sarcasm; you truly were blessed. Even with all her flaws, you wouldn't give her up for the world.
You helped her remove her blouse, slowly, patiently, taking care not to cause her unnecessary pain. Rowena let out a few hisses, but for the most part she took it as a champ. She knew it was necessary for you to get a better look at her injuries, and, though her pride surely protested it, she cooperated to the best of her ability.
To think mere years ago she would have pushed you away and insisted on handling everything herself. You were glad she knew she could count on you, that she didn't fear betrayal. She trusted you, immensely, with everything she had, and you swore to never do anything to break that trust.
Her chest and arms, thankfully, looked better than her face. There were blooming bruises, especially around her wrists, and a stray cut here and there, but nothing too extreme. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a potion and a few days rest. And some cuddles, because whenever one of you was in need of care, emotional or physical, there was no better comfort than cuddles.
"What did he do to you?" you asked, carefully tapping around one of the cuts with a wet cloth to clean it of dried blood.
Rowena stiffened. "Horrible things."
"Such as?"
You cut tell he'd cut her. But what else had he done? Had he slapped her? Punched her? Hit her with a different sort of weapon?
From the little you'd seen before Sam and Dean had doused the cabin in gasoline and set it on fire with his body inside of it, the man had accumulated quite a little torture set. Various instruments had lined the walls. Some were strewn over a small table by the wall. A couple on the floor. All caked in rusty blood.
Clearly used on his victims.
Had he had time to try some out on Rowena?
"I'd rather not." Her voice was low when she responded. Quiet. As weak as earlier in the cabin.
You looked her in the eyes. Heart shattered with sympathy at the hurt in them, with pain, with guilt. If you hadn't started the fight, none of this would have happened.
This was the second time you'd left her, pissed to high heavens, only to find her in peril.
"Of course." You squeezed her hand and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "We don't have to talk about anything you don't want to talk about."
You took care of the rest of her injuries in silence. Rowena remained compliant, never once complaining. Other than a few hisses and moans when you dabbed at a bruise too hard, she behaved, which earned her smiles and kisses.
"Good girl," you would say each time you would be done with a particularly bad wound. And she would smile because praise was her drug and she could never get enough.
Once you were done, you looked her over one more time, just to be sure, and helped her into a nightgown — picking it out, you were going for soft, comfortable, but you couldn't help finding her appealing in the black cloth that hugged her every curve just perfectly. Not even bruises and bandages could mar her beauty.
You suggested taking her to bed, but Rowena insisted on staying where she was while you worked on the potion for her. She loved watching you work. Loved observing you flipping through a spellbook and picking out ingredients, double checking the recipe to make sure you got everything right. No words left her mouth, but the proud smile she displayed said more than enough.
It was always like that. She drew immense pleasure from watching you do magic, a sense of pride. She'd passed on the knowledge, and you were using it with the same confidence she bore. The confidence she'd gained as a young witch herself, learning the ways of magic, growing the power that bloomed within her, surpassing that of the greats who'd taught her.
Your power could never match hers, but what you had was more than enough. You had skill. You weren't perfect, but you were a damn good student. Great in your own way. Better than most, because you'd been tutored by the best. No matter how in love she was with you, she wouldn't lie about something like that.
"Here you go," you said, handing her the concoction in her favorite mug.
Rowena took it with shaky hands. She inhaled, then took a sip, a small one, exploring the taste. "Mm."
"Good?"
"Excellent." Her lips widened into a smile. "I've expected nothing less from my girl."
You couldn't help a grin, cheeks flushing. Her praise was one of your greatest weaknesses.
She finished the potion in a few gulps. You left the empty mug in the sink, to be washed later, and took her to bed. You considered a shower, but given Rowena's state, you didn't want to leave her alone for long, so you just threw your clothes off and pulled on your nightwear; a shower could wait until morning.
She instantly curled against you as you laid down. Your standard position, particularly when she needed comfort. You wrapped an arm around her, careful not to hurt her. She was a fragile little thing. No matter how tough she played, she was still a person. She still hurt and bled and suffered like everyone else.
"You're the best, too," she said after a moment of deafening silence, startling you from your thoughts.
"What?"
She swallowed. Sucked in a breath, deep and steady, as if she were preparing for a marathon. "I was wrong."
That wasn't something you heard every day.
Rowena rarely, if ever, admitted she was wrong. She didn't express regret so openly. Didn't apologize for her pride was too great to allow her to lower herself to that level.
And yet…
"You're enough." Her voice trembled. "More than enough."
Oh, right. The argument. The thing that led to all this mess.
"We were both so angry," you said. Understatement of the century.
Rowena shrugged. "You were right. I do go out of my way to help the Winchesters."
Was that guilt in her voice? Regret?
Your heart jumped. "I don't think helping people is wrong. I just… I'm worried."
"Because of Samuel."
"Yeah."
As much as you disliked him, you didn't think the hunter would hurt her on purpose. But accidents happened all the time. Being around him was dangerous.
"I trust him," Rowena said.
"And I trust you," you told her. "I just…"
"I know. Anything could happen."
"Exactly."
For once she understood. You were on the same page. No shouting. No arguments. Just a conversation, one you should have had ages ago.
She squeezed your hand. "I promise you I won't die. Not permanently, at least. Samuel and I will change our fate."
Tears stung at your eyes. "That's what you keep saying, but—"
"But nothing. We will do it. I'm in no hurry to die. And I'm pretty sure he likes me enough to want me to stick around."
"It's because he doesn't live with you," you joked.
"Oi!" she said, feigning offense. Then she grew serious again. "I won't go to them as often, but I will help from time to time."
You pondered on it for a moment, weighed the pros and cons. It wasn't ideal, but it seemed like a good compromise.
As dangerous as it was, you couldn't forbid her from doing it. The last thing you wanted was to be that kind of girlfriend. You just wanted her to be safe.
"I need to do some good."
"You don't owe anyone anything."
She'd done plenty of bad in her life, but she didn't have to make up for it for the rest of her days. She didn't have to put herself in danger.
"I know," Rowena said. "But I want to do it."
"Okay." So long as it was her wish. So long as she didn't feel pressured. "But after you're all healed up, alright? I don't want you doing anything in this condition."
"I like it when you’re in charge," she teased.
"Shut up," you said, flustered.
"It's sexy."
"You're horrible."
"You love me."
"I do." Your biggest weakness. "Sometimes I wish I didn't."
"I find that hard to believe," Rowena said.
Because it was a lie. Loving her was the best thing you'd ever done.
"As if you don't love me," you retorted.
"Never said I don't."
You never tired of hearing it.
Pressing a soft kiss to her scalp, you closed your eyes and sank into peaceful sleep, the woman you loved safe in your arms. Cherished and cared for.
As lucky, you hoped, as you were to be by her side.

Nothing to worry about
After many, many attempts to decode the data to find Sora, Riku was spent. A thought came to him that maybe if he messed with data with the difficulties all the way up, then something might change. It had to be his third day screwing up on the same attacks over and over again. He didn’t remember fighting the organization to be this hard! Riku was a prideful guy that managed to beat most of them but enough was enough! He had been stuck on one obstacle for far too long and his hands hurt from hitting the wall the one time he rage quit. It was time to bring in backup, and he knew just the people…
Xion:You want me to want?
Riku:Beat data Xion for me. You’re too strong.
Roxas:It’s a computer…
Axel:Dude, you don’t get to say that when you smash computers instead of pressing keys.
Saix:You What?
Riku:Focus!!! I called you specifically because you’ve fought Xion, fought Sora, and some of you have done both while technically being connected to Sora; so you know how to play him well.
Axel:I feel like you’re missing people.
Riku:People are busy. You are the only ones that are still around a lot.
Xion:Am I really that tough?
Riku:Painfully.
Xion:Hmmm. I’m not sure how I feel about fighting myself. Something about it feels...depressing.
Axel:I’ll do it. I’m great at games! Plus we’ve fought a bunch of times! I know your moves.
Xion:But you lost…
Axel:Still learned them! *sits down* Watch the master!
That was the statement he made. It’s been three hours since Axel had that confidence. Now he was face down on the bed in the committee room along with Riku. If he heard “why do you fight” one more time, he’d lose his mind.
Axel:Since when do you bounce around like a ball of light!?
Roxas:Why are you surprised? I do it all the time.
Axel:I don’t even understand how you do it!!!
Saix:I can’t believe you didn’t even get half health.
Axel:Think you can do better!?
Saix:Nope, but I won’t act like I can to look cool. Xion, I’ve never seen you do half of the things that program does. Is it an exaggeration or…?
Xion:No, it’s possible. Doing all of that just makes me tired.
Saix:...(I never stood a chance in that graveyard. Then again I try not to go full berserk for the same reason.)
Roxas:My turn! I’m not exactly thrilled about fighting any version of you but helping Sora is the goal here. I just hope Cid didn’t program all of your armors. Not a big fan of the second one or you being the size of the central station tower.
Xion:*red* Hehehe...yeah that was pretty wild.
RAS:You can do what…?”
The change of players was getting better results. Roxas was in his third attempt when he started getting a good rhythm. Watching Axel helped, but there was something else. A weird six sense. Riku was right about him controlling Sora, it felt natural. Battling data Xion was the same. The way he predicted her movements were scarily good.
Axel:Wow, look at you go.
Roxas:Sssshhh, I need focus. I wanna do this as fast as possible. It might be data but hurting Xion feels wrong.
Xion:*red* Roxas…
The man makes it to the desperation move. It’s the second time he’s made it here and he wished data Xion had the armors instead! He didn’t last long before another game over screen. Everyone groaned while Roxas rested his head on the wooden desk.
Roxas:Gah! I can’t even begin to understand those patterns. Your columns of light move way too wildly!
Riku:I hate the fact that if you recover from a strike raid then the next one is delayed to change your rhythm! Why are you so smart Xion?
Xion:Sora does that too. It’s how to survive relentless attacks sometimes. I’ve told you all the timing so-
Roxas:Xion, I really don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable, but you might as well grab the controller. The only person who knows you, is you.
Xion:And Ven, and Namine, you, Sora, Kai- fine I’ll give it a try!
Riku:Thank you.
Xion died immediately going into the fight. All eyes looked at her in disbelief as her face got red.
Xion:I wasn’t ready! Let me get a few warm up rounds in! I have never done anything like this. Roxas, can you go back to Twilight Town and get a small white bag in the usual spot?
Roxas:Okay.
A few warm up rounds turned into a dozen. Riku even saw her scroll through the settings once or twice. Then she wouldn’t do the fight right away. Instead she’d press bottoms to see how Sora reacted and fast. He didn’t want to be antsy but a piece of him wanted to try again. Riku went over to ask when Roxas came through the door to hand her the bag. Xion ran the program again. She reached in the bag as it loaded and pulled out something Riku didn’t know she still had. Her organization gloves.
Riku:You kept those?
Xion:Gripping a keyblade barehanded feels weird. So does messing with computers…
Data Xion:Why do you f-
Xion:Yeah we know the line…
Riku never considered himself good at things like video games or computers, but he didn’t think he was bad either. That was until he watched Xion start moving her fingers faster than he could keep track off. The whole room was silent except for the sound of clicking. Data Sora was moving at speeds and performing tricks Riku and the others didn’t even know about. He wasn’t getting hit at all!!! Axel could quietly hear Xion mumble numbers. A set amount when she attacked, and then a different set when the data version did. The sets kept resting and ending differently depending on what weapon she used or magic. He couldn’t make heads or tails of it.
Axel:H-How?
Xion:How what?
Roxas:How are you doing this!?
Xion:Like you and Riku said. I know me, as well as Sora. I’m only gonna get hit so many times before I find a chance to counter. Also, there’s only so many moves you can program. It’s still just code!
She made it sound so easy, yet Riku. Can only think about how many times late last night he couldn’t figure out a single time to appropriately heal or attack. Yet here Xion is, perfect blocking and interrupting the desperation move. She even found time to take a picture before delivering the final blow!
Xion:Boom! Easy!
Riku:FINALLY!
Saix:You really should’ve gone first.
Xion:But it was thanks to you guys that I was able to watch and learn without stressing out. It was a group effort. I guess we’re done here. Thanks Riku, that was kinda fun. *stands up*
Riku:Ummm haven’t beaten master Xehanort either. Do you think maybe….
Xion:*Sits down* You owe one for this.
Riku:I know a good spot to find the best seashells.
Xion:Deal!
The crew let her get to work on the baldy while they occupied their time. Half an hour passed before they sat around a table eating. Riku looked over to see Xion learning how to deal with every move possible. It looked impossible. Most of the organization did. Another game over screen appeared and Riku sighed.
Axel:You alright champ?
Riku:It might be data, but seeing Sora lose is depressing. I hope he’s alright.
Roxas:Why wouldn’t he be?
Riku:He’s not the luckiest guy. Danger might as well be a spell when it comes to Sora. All of these data fights made me realize just how dangerous the organization really was. The thought of him running into something or someone as dangerous as that alone doesn’t sit well with me.
Everyone:......
Roxas:You know Riku, you can be pretty dumb sometimes.
Riku:Huh!?
Xion:Roxas!
Roxas:What!? All I’m saying is you would think after seeing a program based off of him successfully beat crazy strong people like Xion that you’d have the most faith in his skills. I mean who else do you know has enough different moves to handle so many kinds of fighters?
Riku:....Heh, thanks Roxas.
Roxas:*red* Yeah whatever. Just stating the obvious.
Axel:Yeah! Sora’s alright. I mean he was able to beat me after all.
Saix: If that’s the bar then maybe we should worry.
Axel:Hey!
Xion:I mean we did tie when I was tired.
Roxas:I beat you with amnesia.
Riku:Sora did too.
Axel:Who’s side are you on! This is the thanks I get for trying to cheer you up? Cut me some slack.
The friends shared a good laugh teasing Axel. Even he couldn’t help but join in on it. Riku should know better than anybody just how capable Sora is.
(Wherever you are, I’m sure you’re just fine.)
xxxx
Fine was the appropriate word to describe it. If a Riku or the others used anything more positive then they surely would’ve bit their tongue. If only they could see their friend right now, dodging and struggling on a rooftop under a starry sky dome. A swarm of gigas closed in on our young hero to overwhelm him, but to avail. Sora whipped out a storm flag and slammed it on the ground to summon the watery beast of the seven seas. It’s tentacles whacked away and crushed the gigas flat. Now wasn’t a time to rest though. Yozora, his opponent, wasn’t done yet. Sora saw rapid flashes of red lock in on him and switched to the counter shield.
He hyped himself “Come on!” Spurs shouted. The first attack came from the left, then right. Four more were dead on before another six ferocious slashes came from the left. Collision after collision conjured sparks that lit up the impacts of each attack. Yozora finally thought he had an opening to stab from behind but was sorely mistaken when Sora had already pivoted already and unleashed a barrage of fists that knocked Yazora in the air. Sora leaped up to follow up with a change into the second form. “Get back here!” He pulled his opponent back in with a magnet burst then went right into an ars arcanum. Blades clashed faster than anyone could keep up with before Sora’s ferocity gave him an edge that turned into full blown hits that ended with him spiking Yozora to the ground. As he fell, Sora was shot in the back by a laser that sent him to the metal floor behind. He had no time to dodge the cross slash that connected against his chest. He watched Yozora vanish and switched right into ultimate form to do the same.
This disappearing and reappearing act made their sparks seem more like fireworks. Crackles and pops
Danced up and down the battlefield as each person kept attempting to warp for both offense and defense until Yozora got the better of Sora by trapping in an exploding prism that launched Sora sky high. Yozora finally had room to breath and could plant fis feet long enough to charge his blade. He watched his target recover mid air and unless a salvo of fireballs with double arrow guns. A good idea if it wasn’t so far away that is. “Sorry but-huh!?” A blue light washed over Sora and propelled him directly at Yozora with his attack. Yozora was quick enough to slash Sora away but decided to pull back by backflipping the fireballs; a big mistake. He had underestimated Sora’s speed. Before he could even reach the ground, Sora was already in front of him again. This time with a massive rocket propelled hammer that hit him in the direction of the fireballs. The magic projectiles curved midair to hope in on his location and blasted him right in the chin. This was bad, really bad. To think he’d have this much trouble with someone who looked so clueless moments ago. He had to switch things up and vanished again.
Sora switched to nano arms and stood perfectly still. “Three….four….” he pulled a barrier right as a glimmer of red formed into Yazora that blasted some strange wide shots from his crossbow before vanishing again. Sora turned the machines into yo-yos next and swung straight. “There!” Yozora appeared right as expected and hit dead on. Sora pulled himself to wards and shifted to his frozen blades for additional slashes.
“You’re Just full of surprises aren’t you!?” Yozora grimaced.
“Don’t Give me that look! I didn’t want to fight!” Sora went for a kick but was too slow. Yozora managed to warp behind Sora and summoned a massive red orb that started pulling everything into it.
“Let’s see how you dodge this one.” Yozora turned up the pressure and started warping as fast as possible at Sora again and again, cutting and slashing him cleanly to knock him off balance until Yozora delivered one more powerful slash across his body that sent Sora flying into the orb. He quickly up to it and glided his blade along it to trigger a massive explosion that made Sora scream. Smoke and fire filled the air for a moment. That was a move not even Yozora himself was too good at avoiding. Nobody was gonna get it right from the jump.
Finally, the battle was over. It was longer than expected but the end result was the same. “Sorry, but I don’t lose-” Another shockwave from the explosion accorded suddenly and dispersed the smoke. That’s never happened before. Yozora shielded his eyes and scanned the ground, no Sora. Just black puddles. He dared not walk closer to them when they started to increase in size until a bigger one formed near his feet and Sora hopped out with glowing eyes and drenched in darkness. “This guy…” Yozora mistakenly readied a block for the keyblade as was then punched by Sora’s free hand, throwing him off and into a world of rageful attacks he had no choice but to receive. Sora was fast, too fast. The patterns seemed random. It was impossible to know what to look out for with the addition of kicks thrown in as Sora instinctively warp in numerous spots to bat Yazora around. Any attempt to escape the loop was met with a primal roar that kept the loop going until one final monstrous attack came. Sora went right through Yozora and into the ground. Strange black orbs rose up from bigger pools of black from earlier and detonated repeatedly, leaving Yozora no room to escape.
What was once a dark night turned into blinding light as Sora once again appeared above Yozora’s falling body in a new form; and with two blades. It was hard for him to understand what happened next. All he could see was light and feel the pain it inflicted everywhere as pillars of them struck down around Sora, who remained airborne and glowing. A look of pure grit on his face as he shouted.
“I guess...my power isn’t needed after all.”
xxxx
Xion:I beat him! But...I don’t think there’s anything here that might help. Sorry Riku. I know you wanna find him as soon as possible.
Riku:Hmmm, that’s alright. *smiles* Wherever he is...I’m sure he’s doing just fine.

Wallflower: Chapter 18 - “ba-woon”
Raihan x F!Reader
Disclaimer: Do not own Pokemon
Summary: You’re an unassuming Pokemon breeder who works at the nursery in the Wild Area and he’s Raihan, the fearsome gym leader of Hammerlocke who has more than a million followers. You don’t want anything to do with him but he’s…persistent.
Rating: Mature/Explicit
Warnings: Lemon, smut, violence, language.
Extra note: this chapter is messed up tbh.
ba-woon ... ...
Some time ago, Galar.
What a fucking mess.
Rose's party was a complete disaster. She honestly thinks everything in Galar is so messed up and backwards, compared to Unova anyway. She can't wait to leave and return to Nimbasa City - she doesn't remember enjoying Galar, and don't think she ever will.
And now she's visiting someone in prison. Never in a million years would Raihan's ex-girlfriend imagine that she would step one foot here.
It's Raihan's stalker, whom she knew about when she was still dating Raihan but never really bothered to do anything about nor take any action, because she believed the stalker was just a harmless fangirl. The stalker had now reached out to her online, regarding something to do with Raihan and his current girlfriend. Something that would ruin them both.
Naturally, being his ex-girlfriend, she was very intrigued but not entirely believing. To conceal her identity, she comes in wearing sunglasses and a large sunhat and baggy clothes, terrified that someone would recognise her. As if she would risk wanting to be seen here; the number of followers would rapidly go down the drain.
She goes to the counter and gives the name, informing the attendant that she's here to see an inmate. Then she's shown to the visitor's room and she sits down in the empty booth, waiting.
Soon, a girl in a jumpsuit arrives; she's very young and average. One would wonder what she did to land herself in a place like this but one can't judge a book by its cover. Once the girl in the jumpsuits seats herself down, she picks up the phone receiver and instructs the ex to do the same.
"How did you even get my contact details?" She barks. Truthfully, she would've ignored the message.
"I used to work in Macro Cosmos."
"And what's the thing you wanted to tell me about?" Raihan's ex adds, crossing her arms. This better be good, it better be worth her time.
The stalker says, "I still have a copy. It's the last one. Banette helped me hide it before they came. It's the video I took of Raihan and that girl he's with, when they were in the hotel room. I'll tell you where it is."
Raihan's ex raises a brow in response. "....Excuse me?" She says, clearly not impressed. "Are you serious? That's the reason why you called me here? So....what? What exactly am I supposed to do with it? Why are you even telling me this?"
"Because you could do anything." The girl says, "You could do anything with it. As long as it's in your hands."
...
Present, Johto.
You go through the rest of the form: it says you have the right to cancel at any time and there is fine print which Looker encourages you to read, with one paragraph in particular that dictates something called a 'Faller'. What that means exactly, you're not sure but Looker explains.
"Fallers are individuals who have passed through Ultra Wormholes." He says, "This is probably a bit too much information for you at the moment so I won’t indulge too much right now. The existence of Wormholes isn't exactly top secret information. There was an incident in Alola not too long ago where a couple of Wormholes opened up and several Ultra Beasts slipped through and it became headline news. Myself and my superior - who is also a Faller - were handling this case. However, let's not jump to conclusions right now. We could just proceed with the Hypnosis session first, see how it goes and then take it from there."
"Um...okay."
"Have you had any out-of-body experiences before?" He says. It's so blunt and to the point, you can only nod.
"Yeah, during Rose's party." You reply, "We were trying to stop Team Rocket and Eli in the energy plant, Leon and I closed the generator and then something happened and I was in this weird place where I saw Giratina."
Looker soaks it all in. "I see. That would be the Distortion World."
"Yeah."
He doesn't ask you anything else nor does he want to take up more of your time any longer so he leaves you and Raihan with more documents to read over once you're home and also to give you some time to discuss with mom and Glenn. Should you want to go ahead, you must sign and return the form to him. He gives you his number so you can contact him when ready. Then he thanks you for your time and departs; you will see him soon, probably when you return to Galar. You put away the remaining documents Looker enclosed with the folder into your backpack.
For a few seconds or so, you and Raihan merely stare at each other as you sit in your booth until you bite down on your lip, brows furrowing. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"You can't seem to catch a break?" Raihan suggests.
"Exactly!" You exclaim, "Where is all this coming from? Fallers, Ultra Wormholes? What's next? I've just about had it."
Getting up from your seats, you promptly leave the cafe and head towards the direction of the Dragon's Den, following the tourist signs once you pass Blackthorn Gym. It's pretty easy to get to regardless and there are plenty of gift shops around which you will tour with Raihan later.
"I trust Looker; you'll be in good hands." Raihan reassures you with a smile as you hold hands along the way. "You've nothing to worry about. Do you want to go back and talk to your family about it?"
You shake your head, "No, no, it's okay, we're already here; let's just head to the Dragon's Den."
It's best not to think about it any longer...plus the caffeine is kicking in so you feel renewed with energy.
Raihan gives your hand a tight squeeze and together, you arrive at the giant lake which must be crossed in order to reach the den - you take Lapras' pokeball and release the ferry Pokemon into the water. You scramble onto Lapras' back and Raihan climbs on after you, glancing right and left. "Ready?"
"Yep."
You pat Lapras gently and she begins gliding over the water and towards the large cave up ahead. Along the way, you see Magikarps swimming in the tranquil lake below and a few Woopers slinking around. The weather is perfect - it’s not cold but not too hot either - and the breeze is gentle and cool.
"We really should do this more often." Raihan mutters, and you agree with a smile.
Once you arrive, Raihan hops off Lapras and helps you down; you recall mom's pokemon and begin the trek over the harsh and rocky path with the dragon tamer into the cave. The den used to be off-limits - they would only let people who earned the Rising badge to enter but now they allow tourists and visitors. It looks different too, mainly due to the inclusion of two newly built paths leading inside, spiralling left and right - the lake outside narrows into a deep stream but you're aware it leads to a further, massive lake inside the den itself where all the Dratini and Dragonairs are. It's dark and damp and you and Raihan pass a shrine that stands in the middle of the water where an elderly man dressed in traditional garb is praying.
You excitedly point to a small Dratini that is draped around the old man's neck, snoozing. It's so adorable! You can't wait - you want to catch a Dratini badly. Raihan grins and you both up your speed without further ado, heading into the den and occasionally being challenged by trainers and defeating them along the way until you reach the opening. It's a massive cave with rocky walls that stretch up high and wide and the only source of light are the scattered torches which the dragon elders have lit up for trainers and visitors alike.
It's a lot busier inside, with a few Ace Trainers and Dragon Tamers inside with their dragon pokemon. A tamer flies around on his Dragonite, ducking and diving over sharp rocks, controlling it's speed and momentum, whilst an Ace Trainer trains her Dragonair in the water with a whistle and some strange device. Meanwhile, a pool to the left reveals a small group of wild Dratini snoozing over the rocks whilst another shakes itself under the waterfall, enjoying the rush of water.
Raihan abruptly clamps a hand over his chest in reaction to the most beautiful sight that is taking place before his very eyes.
"Are you okay?" You ask, though you don't think he is. You feel he has died and gone to heaven.  
Raihan turns to you, a wide grin appearing on his face. "I'm fine," He exclaims happily, "Let's go."
Fumbling for your pokemon, you both release your dragon pokemon by tossing your capsules into the air and an extravagant display of lights subsequently follows; the pokemon appear before you, emitting loud growls and waving their tails, wings and claws. Raihan takes a headcount whilst you do the same - he's brought Duraludon, Flygon, Goodra, Turtonator, Axew and Bagon. You count Chompy, Salamence, Haxorus, Dreepy and Deino, whom you have taken along on Raihan's behalf. Goomy and Applin are the only pokemon not present but never mind; you have quite a lot on your plate already.
"Alright! Everyone's here!" You cheer. It's a Dragon Pokemon Field Trip!
"Let's take a group photo first." Raihan says eagerly, and Rotom comes flying out just in time.
"Bzzz, I got ya covered, champ! On the count of three?"
"Thanks, Rotom!"
Everyone proceeds to move into position a short distance away from Rotom, though much allocation is needed. All the large pokemon move to stand behind yourself and Raihan; though Raihan's height forces him to kneel on one leg beside you, clutching Axew and Deino in his arms whilst you sit with Bagon and Dreepy nestles on your shoulder.
"One...two...three...Everyone zzay 'GROOOOOOOOWL'!!!" Rotom yells, and all the pokemon unleashes the fiercest growls they can muster that the walls tremble and shake and Rotom snaps away. “Yay! Good job everyone!”
Rotom returns to you both so you can check out the photos and you both peer at the screen, swiping through at least five. There's one where Rotom caught all the pokemon growling and their jaws are open. There's one with Garchomp, Goodra and Duraludon waving their arms in the air. Wow, these photos look amazing! Except from the one where you blinked. Damn.
The itinerary for today is simple - Raihan will carry out the training and you will follow up with an examination. Raihan's provided you with his Pokemon's previous assessments, so you can use them to compare.
Therefore, the next thing you do is take all the pokemon to the dragon shrine first so they can soak up all the powerful dragon energy in the den. Your group bumbles behind you, the dragon pokemon looking up and around in awe. No doubt, they are experiencing some special feels for this place. Chompy, Salamence and Haxorus are the only pokemon familiar with this place since you've brought them here before. Once you reach the shrine, you tell Raihan this is where trainers and their pokemon pray for strength and courage in battle and also to pay their respects.
There's a way to do it, so you prompt Raihan to follow your lead - you take some loose cash from your pockets and drop it into the offering box and Raihan does the same. Then you bow deeply twice, clap your hands twice, bow deeply once more and take a few steps backwards.
You clasp your hands together and close your eyes in prayer and everyone follows you. Your group grows silent as you pray; you're pretty sure Chompy and Haxorus are praying for a nice meal at the end of this whilst Salamence is probably praying for more opportunities to fly.
"That'll do. Let's go." You say, when they are finished.
The training promptly begins; you're hoping to spend half a day here and hopefully catch a Dratini at the same time if possible. You find a good spot where there's enough space for all the pokemon to move and run around - and Raihan begins with a warm up and here is where you see a different side to your dragon tamer boyfriend - this must be what he is like when he is at Hammerlocke stadium.
You see him instructing the pokemon fluidly and with the sophistication of a seasoned professional drill sergeant (but he doesn't bark orders no, he's the opposite; he's highly encouraging and gentle) and you watch as your pokemon immerse themselves fully into the experience, though the smaller pokemon are struggling slightly.
You watch as the pokemon begin doing some laps around the den whilst some do sits up and push ups. Raihan observes with Rotom hovering beside him and taking photos and videos, whilst you go to help the smaller pokemon with lighter workouts. To finish up, Raihan pairs the pokemon and let them battle each other but not to the brink where they are knocked out. There's no winner or loser. Your EV trained pokemon fight each other, with Haxorus, Salamence and Garchomp engaging in a three-way battle. Raihan passes each team, making assessments.
When it's your turn to take over, you become nervous because no-one's really watched you on the job before so with Raihan grinning in one corner actually makes you anxious. Nevertheless, you pull yourself together and begin the check up, pulling out your tools which include a stethoscope, ophthalmoscope and otoscope. They look highly technical but these are the three main tools you utilise and they’re easy to use. You get the pokemon to line up and begin the examination one by one which only takes two to three minutes per Pokemon. You hastily scribble down some notes in your pad which you will look at in more detail when you get home.
When it's getting late and the pokemon have gone through a tough day of training, you return them all after feeding them and giving them treats for all their hard work and finally, Raihan turns to you. "We still got a Dratini to catch."
You're kind of beat but you nod, hopping off the rock you were sitting on. "Let's do this."
Since you spotted wild Dratini lounging in the pond near the entrance, you head over to see two of the shed skin pokemon basking over the rocks. Raihan is quick to approach, releasing Goodra. One of the Dratini rears its head up, ready to fight, whilst the other begins to squirm away. Oh no, it's trying to run away! Without thinking twice, you throw Lapras' capsule because she's roughly the same level as these Dratini and would fare a better chance compared to your EV trained pokemon who would destroy it in one move. Raihan commands Goodra to use Dragon Breath and then throws an Ultra Ball at the severely weakened pokemon.
"Lapras, use Ice Beam!" You yell, and the wild Dratini is smacked with a blast of ice which hits it's belly. Aha, now's your chance! You pull out a spare Ultra Ball, tossing it at the pokemon.
Raihan's ultra ball wiggles three times and clicks shut with the green light, indicating Dratini has been successfully captured - however, yours wiggles twice and then abruptly explodes in a burst of bright light. Dratini reappears, blinks for a brief second then promptly dives underwater, having successfully run away.
"Motherfurret!" You shout with frustration before you can help yourself, "Not again!"
Raihan picks up his caught pokemon and returns to your side.
You look up at him with a sigh. "....Guess it isn't meant to be." You mumble dejectedly.
"Take mine." He says, attempting to press the capsule into your hand for your taking.
You shake your head at once. "No, it's fine, Rai. You caught it."
"But I want you to keep it."
"Nooooo."
"I'll catch another one."
You cross your arms, unwilling to accept. "It's fine, I can get one from the Gamecorner in Goldenrod."
He gives you a testing look but you nod firmly. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Alright...." Raihan slips the capsule into his bag but you feel he isn't convinced.
...
You leave the den to grab dinner, opting to have a nice meal at a restaurant in Goldenrod which Raihan chose because he looked it up and it's received raving reviews online and five stars. Then you and Raihan do some shopping at the Department Store although Raihan is more into this than you are. Generally, Goldenrod is quite pricey and it has designers you have not heard of and can't really afford but to Raihan, you swear he has died and gone to heaven again. 
You trail after him, watching him as he goes through racks and shelves and aisles filled to the brim with clothes, shoes and accessories. Occasionally, he'll pull something out and ask you for your opinion. Sometimes you split up so you can buy some gear and treats for your pokemon before you regroup with him.
It's interesting shopping with a guy; Raihan has good fashion sense because he picks out staple items and then he also pulls out items which are in season and are sure to last for a long time. He also picks out some interesting items which are a variety of colours and it makes you think who on earth could pull it off but you're sure Raihan can since he's so tall and skinny and can make anything look good. 
His total bill comes to a six figure number, which has your eyes bulging to the size of plates but apparently, that's nothing to him. Then he nonchalantly asks you if you want anything but you politely decline.
When you wait for Raihan to finish paying, you're looking through photos on Rotom which you took when you were training at the den and you're wondering what's taking him so long until a pair of hands suddenly clamp over your eyes and you squeak in fright until the hands lower from your eyes and you see Raihan who presses a deep kiss on your cheek. Phew, you breathe a sigh of relief.
He has a wide smile playing on his lips. "Hold your arms out."
"What is it?" You lift your arms as requested and he brings out a pink plushie from behind his back and plops it into your hands. Your eyes grow wide - it's a Skitty doll. You look at him, then at the doll with your mouth agape. "...For me?"
"It reminded me of you."
You gush, clutching it firmly to your chest. "It's so cute!! Thanks!"
His grin widens. "I knew you'd like it."
You go on tiptoe and Raihan takes this as a cue to lean forwards and your lips meet.
With the Skitty doll and many bags hanging off your arms, you head to the Gamecorner next, playing a few games such as UFO catcher and Whack-a-Drilbur and you take a quick look at the prize station but seeing various pokemon up for sale as prizes turns you off and you're not sure whether to get the Dratini; instead, you decide to call it a day and go back to Ecruteak. You had wanted to pay Glenn a visit but maybe tomorrow when you have more free time. Besides, you want to discuss with mom about the meeting with Looker. It's actually been on your mind all day. You managed to push it to the depths of your mind somehow, unwilling for it to ruin your day.
When you arrive home, mom is already preparing dinner and when you open the door to the lounge, you see Glenn sitting on one of the plushy cushions whilst the TV blares on in the background.
"Glenn, you're here!"
"Yeah," He greets you casually; there's a pink goo slithering over his head and shoulders - it's a Ditto. "How was the Dragon's Den?"
"It was really good."
"Awesome. Did you guys catch a Dratini?"
"Raihan did but I didn't...and er...I'm glad you're here, I need to talk to you and mom."
"Hm? About what?"
Firstly, you need to put your shopping away so you head to your room to get changed into comfier clothes and return to the lounge with Raihan; Glenn recalls Ditto and you pull out the folder Looker had given you and you ask him to take a look.
"A detective has asked me if I can help him with a case."
Glenn blinks blankly. "That's so random."
"We know him. He helped us before." You mutter, and Glenn takes the folder off you and sticks his hand inside, pulling out a few files. He chooses one to read and has a quick skim through until his brows furrow slightly; you and Raihan glance at each other from the corner of your eyes and you don't think this bodes too well.
However, the lounge door slides opens and mom enters with Blissey. "Phew! Almost done. Dinner's nearly ready."
"Hey mom, take a look at this." Glenn says, handing her the paper.
"What is it?" Mom plops herself beside Glenn and dons her reading glasses, scanning the paper. She's smiling but you watch as the smile slowly disappears. It grows silent as they both read the contents. Raihan reaches for your hand and holds you tightly, threading your fingers together and after a short while, mom settles the file down and turns to you. "So this detective named Looker is working on a case regarding a missing child....and he thinks you're the missing child?"
"Yeah."
"And he wants you to undergo Hypnosis in order to confirm the theory, to extract memories..." Glenn mutters, rubbing his chin. He continues reading the file out loud: "A Hypnosis session is used to extract missing memories and concise testimony from the subject. Usually the subject is an individual who suffers from retrograde or psychogenic amnesia. Subjects will undergo a session in an effort to recall their missing memories under the guidance of a trained professional and a Hypno allocated by the Bureau. The session can last up to three to five hours maximum, depending on the severity of the amnesia."
Mom looks at the photograph of the couple and the little girl next. "This is the missing child, right? You don't look anything like her at all." She says.
Glenn pulls out another file except there's a few photos that were lodged within and they drop out and over the table. "Whoa, that's a Buzzwole." He points out, as he picks up the photo of the beefy red bug. He moves to a second photo and raises a brow, "Huh, don't think I've seen this one before..."
"I think that's a Xurkitree, dear."
"I've never seen anything like it." Glenn puts down the photos and begins reading the next file: "Operation f....um, faller, spelled with blanks in between...interesting, Operation Faller is the top secret - haha, not so top secret now - Operation Faller is the top secret operation conducted by the Bureau in an effort to identify, track down and locate fallers, individuals who have passed through Ultra Wormholes; the operation came into existence after the Alola incident where Ultra Wormholes opened and several entities known as Ultra Beasts entered Alola."
Glenn abruptly stops.
"Um...what exactly am I reading or looking for here?" He says, confused.
"It's the Alola incident, dear, it made headlines a while ago - the existence of parallel worlds." Mom says. "Remember?"
"Oh, yeah! People went mental! Er...this is getting weird...they even said they found a world where pokemon don't even exist! Can you believe that?" Glenn mutters before he moves onto the next file. It's a file that's got your name on it. "Subject was discovered in Ilex Forest with blunt force head trauma. Subject could not recall her identity, where she came from or how old she was at that time.... That sounds like retrograde or psychogenic amnesia to me."
You bite down on your bottom lip; this is making you uncomfortable...
He flips to the next page. "Drifloon. Subject was found with a Drifloon - Drifloon are not native to Johto, or Ilex Forest so it was theoreticized to have been responsible for subject's accident but no proof has been found. Drifloon is known to have spirited people away, in particular, children. The expression 'spirit away' is used to refer to the mysterious disappearance or death of a person, or humans who have been abducted to the spirit world. The term is loosely utilised in Drifloon's pokedex entry - for this case, the balloon Pokemon may have transported subject either to a new region... or a parallel dimension, or Ultra Space."
Glenn stops again and looks at you like a Stantler caught in headlights.
Gulping, he continues. "...The pokemon was allowed to stay with subject after displaying no malicious intent towards subject. Instead, pokemon demonstrated protective behaviour over subject and listened to subject's commands."
You force out a weak laugh. "It wasn't Driffie. It can't be, it's not. He wouldn't...he wouldn't do that to me. This is ridiculous and if I was...whatever, I'd remember for sure."
The lounge goes silent as all eyes fall on you.
Mom nods and says, "There was no proof, dear. Driffie is harmless. And you love Driffie."
"Yeah." You mutter weakly as you absent-mindedly squeeze Raihan's hand under the table.
Glenn puts down the documents and lets out a quiet groan, rubbing his temples. ".....Basically, there's three things going on here: number one, Looker wants you to remember your missing memories to find out if you're the missing child of the case he's working on. Two, he wants to find out if there's the possibility of you being a Faller and three, the file says that Driffie could've been the one responsible for your accident."
You don't like the direction where this is going to at all. "I don't care; I have you and mom and Raihan and it won't change anything; I'm perfectly happy where I am."
"What are you gonna do, sis?"
"....I dunno."
"It's okay, dear, I think you should go ahead and sign it. There's no harm in wanting to help someone out and finding out more about yourself." Mom replies; she moves to stand, bringing you into a tight hug and pecking you on the cheek. "You'll still be my daughter and we'll still be your family."
...
After dinner, Glenn and mom ask if you're okay again but you lie and tell them you're fine. They reassure you that you're doing the right thing for yourself and whatever happens, they'll still be there for you. Whilst Raihan remains in the lounge to chat with mom and Glenn, you decided to take a bath but when you see the full moon hanging in the night sky, you end up sitting outside in the back porch with the folder; you didn't want to look at it any longer but since you still had some documents to go through for yourself, curiosity killed the Delcatty so you grab it and take out the contents again. Indeed, the folder contains a myriad of documents about Fallers and photos of Ultra Beasts and Ultra Wormholes. But it's then you come across Driffie's file and you hesitate.
Nausea overwhelms you. Driffie....no way. It can't be. You put the folder down, then pull out Driffie's capsule and release him; he emerges in a brief burst of red light in the garden.
"Flooo...." He blinks, letting out a gentle wheeze.
You can't bring yourself to ask. Hell, how are you supposed to ask? Did you spirit me away? Did you take me away from my family? Did you try to kill me? Did you try to hurt me...did you want to hurt me?
Didn't Allister once say to you...
”It wants to say... ‘I’m sorry’.”
Oh shit. Oh fuck. It can't be...
"Hey, um....Driffie?"
He looks at you, tilting his head curiously. "Floo...?"
"Was it....was it you?"
Again, he merely tilts his head to the side.
You sigh loudly. Oh Arceus, how could you think Driffie would do this to you? He is your sweet Drifloon who you've had since....ever. He's never hurt you. "Never mind. Forget it. I'm sorry, Driffie."
"Floo..." He floats over and nestles on top of your head, wrapping his arms around you just as the rest of your capsules suddenly burst open at once and all your Pokemon appear - Espie, Poliwag, Metagross, Salamence, Chompy, Haxorus, Dreepy and Tyranitar. The smaller pokemon jump into your lap whilst Dreepy slinks over your shoulders.
Your stare, blinking blankly as your pokemon begin to idly gather round and sit around you with what little space there is. Tyranitar and Haxorus sit beside you on the porch and Chompy and Metagross move to sit in front of you - Metagross has to tuck his legs in - whilst Salamence curls behind you, propping you up. You glance at each and every one of them before you smile at them warmly. You know the reason why they've appeared - they can sense your sorrow and fear.
"Did you guys hear what happened?"
Metagross turns to you and nods. Chompy growls and so does Haxorus and Salamence. Espie purrs loudly. Exhaling shakily, you watch as she puts her paw over your hand and Poliwag puts his tail over her paw. Your Pokemon look up at you and you smile at them.
"You got my back, right?"
Everyone nods.
You feel the corner of your eyes prickling with tears and you quickly dab at your eyes, hoping they hadn't seen. You've had them since they were babies - or at least since they were very young - and you took them under your wing, fed them, trained them. They're strong all because of you. You need to remind yourself about that more often and also give yourself more credit. As much as you were there for your pokemon, they are here for you, too. With those thoughts in mind, you watch your pokemon settle themselves around you protectively and you reach over, patting them fondly.
"Thanks, everyone." You utter under your breath. "Thank you for being there for me."
Metagross emits a low screech whilst Salamence, Tyranitar, Chompy and Haxorus growl loudly in response. Your smile grows wider as you pat them again. Espie purrs and Dreepy and Poliwag rub their cheeks against yours.
"If anything happens to me....I....oh, I don't know, I never thought about it."
Your pokemon look at you in bewilderment but you don't follow up. They sit with you, staring up at the moon until a while later, you hear the door to the lounge opening and Raihan passes you on the porch; you and your pokemon all turn to him and he freezes.
"Hm?" He exchanges glances between you and your pokemon and grins, "What's up? What are you doing? I thought you were sleeping."
You shake your head as you pat the space beside you, "Wanna join us?"
"Sure." He says, and he manages to squeeze himself beside you and Haxorus. Your pokemon don't mind, and Raihan reaches for you automatically with his arms out and you put down the documents. Espie and Poliwag hop off your lap and jump on top of Metagross' head so you can climb into Raihan's awaiting lap where he wraps his arms around you firmly and you rest your chin on his shoulder, closing your eyes. He envelopes you all over with his warmth, his arms holding you securely. "...You'll be okay, princess." Raihan mutters, pressing his lips against the curve of your cheek.
"Looker has really bad timing." You reply, as he peppers you with kisses. It's true, you feel the entire vacation is ruined because of this. You don't blame him but you kind of wish you hadn't met up. "I don't mind helping out but I don't know what I'll find out."
Raihan tightens his grip on you, stroking your hair affectionately and tucking some loose strands behind your ear with his long fingers. "I'll still be here. And if you are a 'faller', that's kinda cool." He says, and you chuckle under your breath. "Don't worry. I'll protect you. The Great Raihan will protect his princess, always."
You chuckle louder until you gradually dissolve into silence where you are just holding onto him and sitting in his lap.
"Have you decided what to do?"
"...Yeah. I'm gonna sign it."
"You sure?"
You nod. "I'll just...give it a shot. There's no harm, I guess. But I wish I could catch a break though...I'm really tired."
"I know you are, princess."
Leaning against him, you close your eyes and give him an affectionate squeeze.
"...You're the best thing to happen to me." You mutter quietly and he emits a gentle sigh, wrapping his arms even firmly around you.
"I know."
You can't help but smile and as you pull away from him, he grins and leans forwards, your lips pressing briefly before you throw your arms around him again. Raihan hugs you close, rubbing small, soothing circles on your back whilst you rest your cheek against his shoulder until you glance over and pick up a photo, inspecting it. It's a white jellyfish creature and the longer you stare at it, the more it looks familiar to you.
You feel like you've seen it before.
...
Days later.
Life returns to normal, or what is defined as normal in your books.
You leave Johto, return to work and so does Raihan. Your new boss is difficult to get along with; she's far more strict and doesn't seem to get your sarcasm or humour. You don't seem to be able to build up the same rapport you had with your previous boss. Your days are often spent in silence but you reckon work is just work and it cannot be helped. Not everyone likes their jobs - such as your friend, for example. You're left wondering when your next holiday is because your trip to Johto has now come to an end; the days had flown by just like that and it was over way too soon, way too quick.
And when you returned to your cottage in Ballonlea, you realised you've become way more accustomed to Galar than you had thought but after the meeting with Looker, things seem....different now.
You've told Raihan that you've already set up a time and date for the hypnosis session with Looker and although he says he wants to come with you, it will clash with his work so you tell him you can do this on your own.
Emitting a gentle sigh under your breath, you get ready, heading to Hammerlocke police station where you ask for Looker at the counter and a few minutes later, he emerges from a room and into the waiting area to retrieve you.
"Thanks for coming." Looker says, as you hand him the signed form.
"No problem."
"Are you ready?"
"Yep."
And you follow him into a small room with a sign that says 'Interrogation Room 2'....as if that wasn't intimidating enough. He closes the door behind you and it grows quiet as he sits at the desk, scribbling something down on the notepad in front of him. There's a hypnotherapy chair in the corner and a Hypno sits on its haunches on a stool, looking at you with its beady eyes. You stare at it in return, feeling slightly nauseous.
"Have a seat." Looker mutters, gesturing to the chair. "And grab a drink if you want."
You head over to the chair before you glance at the water machine nearby so you help yourself to a drink by reaching over and filling up a plastic cup, downing a few sips. It's silent in the room except from Looker's pen squeaking over the paper, the clock ticking on the wall and Hypno's shallow breathing as it stares at you relentlessly.
Looker finally finishes writing his notes and averts his attention to a case he's kept propped up against the desk, lifting it up. Unclipping it, he pulls out several strange devices which he lays carefully on the desk, then he pulls out a tape recorder from a cupboard underneath the desk which he also neatly sets on the table.
"Put this on." He hands you one of the weird contraptions, which is a bracelet that resembles a Dynamax band.
"What is this?" You ask, as you strap it on, pulling the fabric and tugging it around the width of your wrist and pushing the snap fasten into place.
"It's to read your energy levels during the hypnosis session." Looker mutters, "It works similar to a polygraph."
You didn't quite understand and Looker continues setting up some random machinery around you.
"Are you ready?" He says, when he's finished.
"Yeah." You put down the cup on the table provided beside you and take a deep breath.
Looker nods stiffly and pulls his seat over to you, dragging it on its wheels. "Let's begin. Lie down, please. Come on, Hypno. We're starting now."
As you lie over the chair properly, Looker presses on the tape recorder and he says out loud that he's recording 'Subject Sixteen, Initial Hypnotherapy Session'. Hypno moves in front of you with a shiny white pendant that dangles from his claws. Looker instructs you to tell him your name, age, where you come from and your occupation, which you do.
"When you're under," Looker adds, "Focus on the sound of my voice: I'll be guiding you along the way. I'll ask you to describe what you see and I'll tell you what to do next. I want you to remember that there is nothing there that will hurt you so you do not have to be scared. However, should you feel threatened, you can stop the session and we'll bring you back. Just tell us to stop."
You nod weakly. "Understood."
"Good. Let's begin then."
Glancing at Hypno, Looker nods and it begins swinging the pendant in front of your eyes in a smooth fashion.
“I want you to think about your childhood,” Looker says, “We’ll start from there.”
”S-sure.”
You honestly wonder how this will work.
Hypnosis?
You've seen hypnosis work on a pokemon but not on a human...
You keep your eyes trained on the pendulum.
Nothing so far.
It goes right.
Then goes left.
And back again.
Your eyes follow the motion, back and forth...
Back...
...and forth...
You're still in the room with Looker.
You're still...conscious.
Is this supposed to work?
How does it work?
The pendulum keeps swinging, Hypno keeps its eyes on you. It's mouth moves, whispering.
Left.
Right.
Left.
Right.
Opening your eyes, you sit up.
Wait.
When did you even close your eyes?
Where the hell are you?
"What do you see?"
It's Looker's voice.
You glance around.
You're...in a field.
A field full of beautiful flowers of red, blue and yellow...
The Wild Area?
No, it's...it's not. It's not the Wild Area. It's not even... Galar. Your gut just tells you it's not Galar.
"What do you hear?"
You hear giggling. Laughter. Voices.
They sound happy.
"Where's it coming from?"
You spot a small group up ahead and you wade through the field of flowers towards the source. A short distance away, you can see the woods. They're dark and foreboding.
"Who is it?"
Heading over, you see a couple sitting together on a red and white checkered picnic blanket surrounded by an abundance of food and a hamper whilst a little girl stares at a Butterfree fluttering around her. You realise you cannot see their faces; a messy, gaping black scribble erases any distinguishable feature.
Confused, you begin to step backwards.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't...I can't see their faces." You reply, swallowing down.
"Can you go closer?"
"I think so."
The couple are too busy getting the food ready to notice that the child gets up, having spotted something in the woods.
"Ba-woon." She says.
"What?"
"Ba-woon." The little girl says again.
Their voices are an echo.
Suddenly, a small swarm of Beedrill comes, attracted by the food - noticeably, the sticky jam sandwiches. The couple stand up to fend them off. They don't notice the child leaving the picnic mat, wandering further and further towards the woods.
There's something there.
"Ba-woon." The little girl says, giggling.
She stops in front of a small and cute, purple pokemon. Having lured her to the woods, it begins to float further inside.
"Ba-woon, come back! Where are you going?"
It reaches for her and takes her hand and in a split second, just like that, they both disappear into nothingness.
Gone.

oh wow... that response was really good. It kinda seems like FK is heading straight for a breakdown but doesn’t want anyone seeing; least of all their news friends who started out thinking they have everything together emotionally. I think a big group intervention is in order... and possibly some well-intentioned snooping, considering that’s how FK got through to Boris in the first place
Tumblr media
Writing this as a part two to this post! Thank you all so much for the follow up requests! This dragged on longer than I had expected sooo...there's gonna be a part three!
• It had been about three days since the incident with Boris and Kamal and you hadn't left your house. On the bright side, as of this morning, no one had messaged you!
• Maybe going completely silent wasn't the best idea, you just...weren't in the right place to respond or even open their messages right now. What could you tell them that you hadn't already said a hundred times; you were fine.
• This morning was the first time you'd woken up to no new messages in the last few days. The last few you'd managed to get glimpses of weren't even trying to be subtle anymore with their concerns for your wellbeing. You actually questioned it for a moment; was is weird that they'd stop cold turkey? Maybe they all just finally got the right idea.
• You didn't want any of this. More than anything you just wanted things to go back to normal. You wanted to apologize to Boris but you couldn't even face him after what went down. He'd never let up after seeing you almost lose it. It was your own fault, you couldn't handle yourself and now you were paying the price.
• Maybe those few days alone did you some good because you were finally calm enough to think rationally, well, almost rationally. Maybe you could fix this. If you got back out there and showed them that you were fine, then they'd stop asking questions and things could go back to the way the used to be! You could fix this just like you always did.
• How would you explain your radio silence though? You'd just went out of town for the last few days! No, that didn't make much sense. Your phone was broken? Yeah, that could work. You just dropped it during a run and had to send it in, you weren't avoiding anyone.
• Speaking of running....what about Boris and Kamal? Boris almost saw you lose it and they both saw you literally running away from them. Boris' worried expression plagued your mind. He was so worried about you. Was there even a way to fix that? To make up for the way you'd talked to him...to get him to stop worrying. If you could just get things to go back to normal than maybe he'd finally believe you and believe that you were okay, that you'd be okay soon enough if you could just work through this alone. There was nothing he could do for you anyway, nothing you couldn't do for yourself right? And even if he could help you, he shouldn't have too. He shouldn't need to help you. If you weren't strong enough to help yourself how were you supposed to help anyone else.
• Maybe it was the guilt or just the cabin fever but your hand was suddenly hovering over the doorknob. This was just a quick food run. Not to Jimothan's though! Why? No reason... You just needed some stuff to stock your fridge. Starving yourself out wasn't exactly your intention, eating had just been the last thing on your mind and here you were with not much left to hold yourself over.
• You'd even go the back way just to be more discreet. Kamal would be at work and Boris would be at his shop so you didn't have to worry about them. Anyone else would just need a little bit of convincing!
• Just show them that you're okay.
• It was oddly quiet. Actually, it was usually pretty quiet around here and the fact that you were avoiding the main part of town just didn't help. So far, your mission was successful. You made it to the store, bought some groceries and now all that was left was to head home.
• Staring down the street ahead of you you were plagued with a sense of unease. All that was left now was to head home. So you didn't get to run into anyone but as soon as you got home you could work on getting back to people.
• For the first time in the last few days you were feeling good about this. All you needed was a few days to calm yourself down and you were already feeling better. If things were ever going to return to normal than you'd have to start somewhere. You'd reply to some messages when you got home, explain that your phone was "broken" for the last couple days and things could go back to normal! Smiling in satisfaction to yourself, you gripped your groceries with pride and strode forward.
"Y/N?!"
• You jumped, looking about more frantically then you would have liked to admit. You were so busy thinking you hadn't realized you were walking through the main part of town. No biggie, this was all part of the plan, whoever it was just be cool and explain yourself.
Putting on a smile you turn around, "Hi, hello! What's-" Then you recognized the figure that had called your name.
Having just exited the passenger side of a car, stood Boris Habit staring you down from across the street.
Another voice spoke up, "What'd you say, Boris?" Following suit was Kamal, exiting the drivers side to look at him quizzically. When he looked in the direction he was staring his own eyes widened.
Boris spoke out again more shakily, "Y/n!"
• All the confidence you had up until this point had vanished. You were wrong, you were very wrong, you weren't ready for this. You didn't know what to say to them. What were they doing out here together in the middle of a business day. But you couldn't just run again, that would make everything worse. So you turned around and kept walking, trying to pretend like you hadn’t seen them.
You could deal with everyone else right now, anyone else, but seeing Boris and Kamal hit you where it hurt. You'd make things up to them in time but you just couldn't right now.
"Y/n, please wait!" You heard the sound of a car door shut and to your dismay, he followed you. You were pretty sure you heard Kamal shout something but neither you or Boris were paying attention.
• Why was he following you now? Was he that determined to get some kind of closure? You wanted to make things right with him but you couldn't, not right now. If he started talking to you again, asking you what's wrong, looking at you like he cared so deeply; then you knew you wouldn't be able to hold it together. You'd fall apart and you wouldn't be able to explain yourself.
• Even now just hearing the desperation in his voice was hurting your heart. Why was he still trying? Why did he care so much? It hurt you just to think about it, he had his own problems, everyone in this town did, they shouldn't be concerned about you.
• Rounding the corner you picked up your speed and rushed into the first door on your right. Slamming the door behind you you let out a long sigh and leaned up against it, sinking down a few inches as you caught your breath.
"Well speak of the devil..."
Quickly straightening yourself and doing your best to appear calm you tried to get a grasp on the situation. At least a dozen of your friends were all crowded around the counter. When you said you could deal with everyone else you weren't being literal...
• Your eyes snapped open and you were met with the surprised gazes of your friends. You'd run right into Jimothan's lounge.
Why were there so many people here, it wasn't karaoke night was it? No, Jerafina wasn't here so probably not and there's no way you'd lost track of time that badly.
Jimohthen looked like he was about to speak up but you panicked and unceremoniously yelled, "MY-MY PHONE WAS OUT OF TOWN!"
• There was another long moment of silence as they looked between each other. You rubbed the back of your neck in embarrassment, pulled yourself together and tired again. "Uh hey, everybody...long time no see! Sorry about the radio silence, still been kind of busy, y'know? Anyway, how's everybody doing?" You said, clasping your hands together and smiling hopefully as you stepped forward.
They looked between themselves for a moment then they all nodded in agreement. The first person to speak up was Parsley, "Uh, were all doing fine, buddy" He seemed nervous at first but it faded as he smiled softly and got up to wrap an arm around your shoulder and lead you deeper into the lounge, "You've had everybody real worried, you know. We were just talking about you actually..."
"T-talking about me?" Your feet dug into the floor to stop yourself from moving forward any farther.
"Nothing bad, don't worry about it!", he quickly corrected himself.
Mirphy leaned forward to ruffle your hair, "Heya, we've all missed you, and I miss hanging with the only other normal person around here!", she joked
You were suddenly hugged by Dallas, "Yeaaah, don't be a stranger, little pal. We're all like, here for you, y'know?. He pulled away, keeping both hands on your shoulders for a moment as he gave you a relaxed smile.
• You had shrunken up at all this attention, suddenly having trouble finding your words. Parsley looked down at you with a bit of a cocky but kind smile, patting your shoulder and directing you towards the counter.
Jimothen leaned over the counter. "C'mon, Champ, why don't you sit and relax for a spell. I'll get you something to eat on the house!"
"I-I guess I could st-," you were pulled into another hug. This one much stronger and from behind.
"D-don't just go around disappearing on people, it's-it's totally a baby move!" Gillis was holding you up off the ground from behind, almost crushing you in his hug.
"Alright, big guy, give them some air how about it?" Jimothen laughed at your predicament and you were placed on the bar stool. Gillis crossed his arms and looked away red faced, trying to pretend he hadn't just done that.
Randy soon appeared from behind him, patting his arm. He then reached forward and grabbed one of your hands, holding it in both if his, "Yes, please sit a moment and share your woes! Your absence has left a gaping hole that can't be filled by another, and as our dear friend, we can't see you off until your mind is clear of worries!"
"Really, guys, I'm fine.." You finally spoke up again. Fiddling with the hem of your jacket you went back to averting eye contact, "I-I was just stopping by to say 'hi' anyway, I should probably get going." Their friendliness, for the most part, had sucked all the fight out of you but there was still that little voice nagging at the back of your mind that you didn't deserve to be indulging like this. But you couldn't deny that you really did miss everyone.
Parsley moved to sit on the stool to the left of you, "Aw, c'mon, you sure you can't stay for a little while? Questionette brought cookies. 
He motioned to the end of the counter and Questionette excitedly stood up to hold the tray out to you. “Ce sont des pépites de chocolat, s’il vous plaît profiter!”
"Yeah, Pars, I-I'm sure..."
-SLAM-
"Будьте добры"
"Стоп"
"Убегать!"
The door was thrown open and in stumbled Boris, yelling something in exasperation.
This immediately caused you to jump off your stool. His eyes darted around the room for a minute before they focused on you then his face softened and he tired closing the distance between you, "Please, please, stop running away..." He said in defeat, "I just want to talk to you!" This wish wasn't granted however as you backed away the closer he got.
"There's nothing to talk about, Boris. I'm fine.
"No no, you're not!" Boris raised his voice and stepped towards you faster, "You are not fine and you know it! Please just talk to me!"
In your hurry to put some distance between you you stumbled over a chair and hit the floor. Everyone quickly rose to come make sure you were okay. From your place on the floor all the negative thoughts from the last few weeks came flooding back. They were all looking at you with such genuine compassion, it felt like they were burning holes through your body. You had them all so worried about you...this wasn't right and it needed to stop.
Boris immediately lost his previous fire and reached down to help you up, "I-I'm so sorry! Are you okay?!" You couldn't take it anymore. All this attention made your heart feel like it was going to explode.
"Stay away from me!" you yelled and actually swung at him, doing your best to crawl backwards. "P-please...
Boris and everyone else was quick to step back when you yelled as if your words had physically staggered them.
Pulling yourself up you kept your eyes on the ground, not wanting anyone to see your face. "....I told you...I'm fine"
"I'm...I'm sorry, Y/n", The regret in his voice was painful to listen to.
"Don't apologize, Boris..."You walked with your back to the wall, making your way around Boris and the group. Denial and anger were out the window so maybe bargaining would work. "Just give me a bit more time. I'm going to be fine..."
You finally looked at them, putting on a shaky smile, "I'm-I'm sorry I made you all worry, but I'll be okay. Just give me some time and I'll be okay... I want to fix this, I-I just want things to go back to normal! So...don't worry too much, okay?"
Your eyes were starting to burn, you really couldn't take this anymore. You were going to cry if you had to stand here any longer.
Boris seemed to have noticed as well and instinctively stepped forward to try to comfort you again. "It'll be okay, I promise! We can head back to Kamal's house, get you some-
Why couldn't he just get the idea. You clenched you fists and started shaking. Keep it together, damnit.
"I told you; I don't want your-!"
A gentle hand was placed on your shoulder from behind and you froze. Standing in the doorway behind you was Kamal, holding the bags of groceries you had dropped earlier. "Hey, kiddo, deep breath now, it'll be alright."
Your heart stopped and there was nothing but silence. You turned to face Kamal and he smiled patiently. Boris had also moved to stand closer behind you. You looked between the two of them for a moment then Kamal spoke up again, "So, you need a ride?"
• Then you booked it out the door.
"Oh, c'mon!"
"дрисня!"
You regret even setting foot outside this morning because you didn't make it far before you were grabbed from behind and held up securely from underneath the arms, "I'm sorry, Y/n, but you leave me no choice now!"
As you were carried in the opposite direction you began searching for a last stitch effort to find a way out. Finally finding one when you saw the familiar little red girl on the other side of the street using a tree as a punching bag.
You knew were going to feel really bad about this later.
"Petunia help!", you yelled, doing your best to wave her over.
She turned to look in the direction of your voice and jumped up in alarm when she saw your out of context predicament. "FLOWER POWER, THE GREEN MENACE HAS GOT YOU!"
Boris looked at you in confusion when he heard you yell then his face contorted in fear when on queue, he saw Petunia rushing him full force.
The small girl flew forward and gripped onto his head. There was a small struggle as he did his best to hold onto you but eventually lost his grip when she slid down his arm to bite one of his hands. "RUN FOR IT, FLOWER! I'LL KEEP HIM DISTRACTED!"
Yeah, you were going to feel bad for this later but at least for now you were home free. Thats what you thought before you were cut off by Kamal jumping in front of you, "Okay, that's enough, kid", he held his arms out, ready to stop you if you tried anything else.
The sound of the struggle behind you had changed to laughter and Boris was now cradling a helpless Petunia in one arm as he gently tickled her into submission. "KEEP-KEEP RUNNING, I CAN TAKE BOTH OF THEM!" Boris looked up from her, not stopping his playful assault, to offer you what could only be described as a glare and you felt chill run up your spine.
• It kind of felt like you were being arrested. Kamal opened the car door for you, arms crossed and motioning with his eyes for you to get in. You sat alone for a while as they talked out of earshot. You could see him saying something to Jimothen as Parsley worked to get Petunia off of Boris's leg. You were half debating making another run for it but eventually decided not to. Kamal was kind of scary when he was mad. Not mad, disappointed, he'd say. Either way you felt like it would only make things worse at this point.
• The car ride back their house was agonizingly long. You sat ashamed in the back seat occasionally looking up to see Kamal watching you in the rearview mirror. Boris sat in the passenger seat, fiddling with the window switch, looking back every few seconds but quickly looking away when he saw you notice him.
Thinking back now, when you were cornered between the two of them, running into traffic seemed like the more favorable option. You gazed out the window at the scenery speeding by and then at the door handle, but before you even got the idea yourself, the sound of the door lock clicked and Kamal gave you a glare that implied, "Don't you fricking dare"
When the car finally stopped Kamal took a deep breath before stepping out. Boris also exited wordlessly already making his way to the front door.
Kamal stayed back to open your door, leaning down to look in at you and finally smiling again, "You coming in, kid? Cause if you're sleeping out here tonight than so am I."
Despite the growing hole in your chest, you smiled slightly, shaking your head and stepping out to follow him inside.
Boris hung his coat up and nervously went to take yours only for you to dismiss him by pulling the hood up over your head and turning your back to him. This caused him to deflate a bit but he got to work watering the flowers around the house.
"Alright!" Kamal, clasped his hand together, "I'm going to go start making dinner. Kid, you can stay here for the night and we'll talk about all this tomorrow, sound good?" Neither you or Boris answered but Kamal took your silence as compliance, "Okay, good!" He turned heel and went to the kitchen. You knew his enthusiasm was forced but he was doing his best to lighten the mood.
You resigned to curling up in the corner of their couch. Holding your knees to your chest and feeling more numb than anything. You were so tired but you doubted you'd be able to sleep if you'd wanted. A few minutes later you ended up comfortably zoned out, choosing to ignore Boris as he at down on the couch beside you.

Back at my shit again with a thirst trap conversation me and @aislinavalbane had earlier this afternoon. She actually inspired me to write this little short. Please enjoy.
*Start*
It had been almost 9 months since Lacie had a very deep conversation with not only Cayde but the other Vanguard members as well. The conversation had entailed of her having a child with Cayde. Since Guardians were infertile and Cayde was an EXO naturally conceiving a child was nearly impossible but they came up with a solution after clearing several tests, and clearing not only Lacie's schedule but lightening Cayde's as well. Now here she sat in their apartment rubbing her very swollen belly after being artificially inseminated and very close monitoring to ensure the fetus would stay attached to her uterine wall. She was the first guardian to ever have a successful pregnancy even though it was through AI.
Looking at the clock she pouted and kept rubbing her belly feeling the baby kick.
"Daddy is running late with our ramen again little one."
As if on cue, Cayde came stumbling in and kicked the door shut with his foot holding two bags and his hood slid off his head as he panted.
"I am so sorry princess. There was a wait at the ramen shop and then I wanted to get you some of your favorite pastries and I needed more oils to give you a leg and foot rub later on."
Lacie looked at him and felt tears sting her eyes at how thoughtful he was and couldn't even be mad at him for being late anymore which freaked him out even more. Unfortunately, her pregnancy hadn't been an easy one and she had been very emotional and Cayde took it like a champ but she still felt awful about it which made her cry harder.
"Fuck baby don't cry. I don't know what I did but I can fix it. Come on. Shit. Sundance help me out here...."
Sundance and Lacie's ghost Moondancer came out and looked at him with their own looks of sympathy since they had no face. Lacie sniffled and blew her nose with the tissue Cayde offered her and clung to him nuzzling his chest.
"You're just so thoughtful..."
Cayde let a smirk slip and held his wife gently and kissed her forehead.
"And here I thought you married me for my devilish good looks and charming personality."
He felt her shoulders move and knew she was quietly laughing.
"There's my girl. Shhhh. How about we eat this delicious food I brought home and afterwards I'll run you a nice hot lavender scented bath and then give you a foot massage. Sound good?"
Lacie nodded and sniffled again gripping the leather strap going across his chest and pulled him down for a kiss moaning quietly when his cool metal lips pressed against her warm plush lips.
Making a low growling sound Cayde pinned her to the wall and she pulled back panting and he hooked his finger under her chin making her look at him.
"Keep that up kitten and food and the bath will be forgoed until further notice."
Giggling, Lacie hugged him and helped him unbox the ramen and they sat down on their couch and she snuggled up to him as he put on an old western tv show.
"This good babe?"
"Mmmm whatever you want is good with me. I've got the man I love and my favorite food. I'm happy."
Breaking apart his chopsticks he dug into his ramen with her and actually saw the baby move and laid his hand on the spot where it moved.
"Does someone like spicy ramen? Still have to be gentle with mommy kiddo."
Rubbing her belly he smiled when the baby kicked again and he gently kissed the side of Lacie's forehead.
"You know....I found out the gender today...if you wanna know."
He looked down at her as she absentmindedly rubbed his bare chest.
"Is it a girl?"
Lacie's eyes shot up to him surprise and shock flickering through her light blue orbs.
"How did you know?"
Shrugging Cayde pushed some of her hair behind her ear gently.
"I just guessed. So I'm going to have two girls to look after now huh? This should be... interesting."
Lacie stared at him for a minute and grabbed his horn and shook his head.
"Liar. You looked in my file before you came home. You're not that good at guessing."
"Ow. Ow. Ow. Baby watch the horn. My beautiful beautiful horn."
Placing her ramen on the table she then moved and straddled him cupping his cheeks.
"If you'd like...I can take care of that beautiful horn of yours in our bedroom...and we can forgo the bath for awhile."
Bringing his hands onto her hips he leaned up.
"Lead the way my queen."
Making their way to the bedroom, giggling like lovesick teenagers they gently jumped on the bed and entered a heavy make out session that ended in passionate lovemaking.
*3 years later*
"Alright sweetheart, so put this here and cover it up and now we wait for uncle zavala to come in and let the magic happen."
Hoisting his dark haired little princess on his waist he watched her blue eyes look around in wonder and curiosity.
"Hey hey Avalyn sweetheart. You're killing daddy's arm kid. Lean back. Oh! Here comes uncle zavala remember play it cool."
"Unca Zava!"
On cue the blue titan vanguard walked in with Lacie trailing not too far behind him seeming to be speaking with another guardian. Zavala smiled softly looking at Avalyn and how much of a father figure cayde had grown into since her birth. Not thinking about checking for any pranks he loved some papers just to have a cream filled pie smash into his face.
Cayde and Avalyn busted out laughing and Lacie stood in horror beside zavala and shit daggers at her husband.
Zavala wiped his face off and looked at Cayde.
"And here I was thinking about how parenthood had changed you for the better."
Cayde took deep breaths and kept laughing being careful of where Avalyn was and adjusted how he was holding her.
"Sorry zavala that was just too perfect. You should know better."
"And Cayde-6 you should know better than to be teaching our daughter things like this." Lacie piped in still shooting daggers at him.
Avalyn moved and hugged Cayde's neck making no eye contact with Lacie knowing her and her daddy were in trouble.
"Aw come on babe we were just- yup alright. Taking Avalyn and myself home. Say bye to everyone princess."
Lacie tucked her gun away which she had just threatened him with and watched her little girl kiss zavala and ikora's cheeks as cayde walked out of the meeting room.
"I'm so sorry Zavala. I'll speak with him when I get home."
"it's alright. I should have known that it isn't Cayde if he's not pulling some kind of prank on me."
Sighing he looked at Lacie and offered her a small smile, "Finish whatever you're doing and go on home. Spend the rest of the day with them. She'll only be that small for a short time longer."
Looking at him she fought back tears and nodded.
"Thank you..."
With that Lacie went to work and finished all her reports from the last few missions she had done and she saw it was well after dinnertime and she walked into the home her and cayde shared and she smelled tomato soup and saw a mess in Avalyn's high chair but did not see them. Getting a bit worried she called out quietly for them and then heard cayde's voice and she peeked into Avalyn's room and saw cayde reading her a story and Avalyn fast asleep in his arms. Crossing her arms and leaning against the doorway she watched until he knew for sure Avalyn was asleep and then gently picked her up and laid her down in her crib and met Lacie in the doorway and gently closed the door stepping into the hallway.
"Welcome back...I know I'm still in trouble so I'm gonna go clean up..."
Starting to walk away Cayde grunted in surprise when Lacie grabbed his hand and stopped him. She then proceeded to press herself against him and leaned up kissing him passionately. Pulling back for air she looked at him with bedroom eyes and headed down the hall to their bedroom and beckoned him with her finger. Confused but very much aroused he followed her into the bedroom and shut the door.
"I'm not mad anymore....seeing you be such an amazing father just now though....that was very very hot...."
Cayde watched her slowly undo her armor and raised an eyebrow at her.
"So lemme get this straight...my reading a story to our daughter....has gotten you all hot and bothered?"
Nodding she laid back in bed in her bra and underwear and held her arms out for him.
"What if I also said....I'm going to clean the kitchen and take the trash out too?"
Crawling over her he watched for her reaction and she proceeded to wrap her legs around his waist.
"Keep talking like that and you will be one happy EXO."
Leaning down and nuzzling her he chuckled.
"Fuck I love you baby."
"I love you too....daddy six."
His eyes widened and he growled taking her undergarments off and for the next several hours ravished her senseless until she couldn't handle anymore.

White Noise (What an Awful Sound), Ch. 1 (Crystal/Gigi) - Meta
A/N: Ahh this is the first drag race fic I’ve ever written, so please leave some feedback! I would love to know your opinions.
Gigi Goode loved her life in LA, she was quiet, popular, and rich. That was until her dad lost his job, forcing them to move to Springfield, Missouri, the only place he could find another job with a substantial enough salary. Gigi didn’t expect to like Missouri, actually she definitely knew she would hate it, but then she meets her loud, talkative neighbor Crystal and suddenly Gigi doesn’t think Missouri will be that bad.
Gigi watched as the trees passed by the window of the moving truck. They had been driving for fifteen hours and twenty-three minutes already. Counting as the minutes ticked away was the only thing Gigi could focus on doing, beyond sleeping. Her mother had graciously allowed her the window seat in the truck. Squeezing herself in between Gigi and her father, that way they could have a conversation without having to talk over her. It’s not like it would’ve mattered, Gigi had put her airpods in the second she buckled her seat belt, not hearing a single word her parents had said apart from asking her every few hours if she needed to pee or wanted to get out and stretch her legs. Her parents didn’t try to engage her with conversation, they knew Gigi didn’t like to talk. She was content just sitting in silence and often answered questions with just a nod and smile or a one word response.
Gigi had no idea how much time had passed since they last stopped to grab snacks but she could just make out the large “Welcome to Missouri” sign in the distance. “More like misery.” She mumbled, rolling her eyes at the “I” dotted with a sun. Gigi’s mom pretended not to hear her.
“Well Gigi, are you excited about your new school?” Her dad tried.
“Oh totally. Who wouldn’t love to start at a new school right at the end of a semester.” Gigi responded with a tight, pained smile. Her mom reached over and rubbed her shoulder.
“Oh honey, I know it’s gonna be hard at first but you had lots of friends back in LA. I am sure you’ll make loads of new ones here in Springfield.” Gigi scoffed.
“I don’t want to make new friends here, I want to be back with my old friends.” She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, realizing just how much of a cliche she sounded.
“Honey I know you do but I got a very good job opportunity here and we couldn’t pass it up.” Her dad added reaching over to pat Gigi’s knee. She found herself rolling her eyes again.
“It’s fine. I’ll be just fine.” Gigi said, turning back to the window. Her mom sighed but didn’t push any further. This was the most emotion they had gotten from Gigi since they told her about the move.
Shortly after, the truck pulled into the driveway of a small blue house. It was quite adorable, Gigi had to admit. Her parents did a good job picking it out. She unbuckled her seat belt and jumped out of the moving truck almost immediately, walking around and doing a couple squats just to make sure she still had function in her legs after sitting for so long.
“Alright babe, I think it’s time miss Gigi Goode got a tour of her new house, don’t you?” Her dad asked as he slammed the car door shut.
“Why absolutely. Come of hon, I’ll show you your room!” Gigi’s mom grabbed her hand and pulled her onto the porch before pulling out her keys and unlocking the door for the first time, “After you madame.”
As soon as Gigi stepped through the doorway she was hit with the smell of fresh paint. They’d had painters come in yesterday and paint the whole house a cool gray except for Gigi’s room, which was a pale yellow, and the master bedroom which was painted a very pretty sage green.
“So Gi, our bedroom is here, right around that corner. Dad’s office is right next to it.” Her mom explained. She was walking Gigi through all the rooms and showing her everything they had changed before moving in. All small cosmetic things, fixing all small blemishes that made the house less than perfect.
“Wait, where is my room then?” Gigi asked, there didn’t appear to be any other rooms.
“Well hon, we thought you’d appreciate some privacy,” Her mom led her to a staircase that was nicely hidden behind a wall. “So, we decided that your room would be the upstairs loft area.” She said, giving Gigi a small nudge for her to go up.
Gigi was overwhelmed, standing in the middle of her new room, the reality of her situation finally hit her. She was never going back to LA, this is where she lived now. The worst part was, she actually kind of liked her new room and she enjoyed how excited her mom was while showing her around. “Genevieve Goode, you’re gonna suck it up and make the most out of living in Springfield, Misery.” What? She didn’t say she would start right away.
Gigi made her way back downstairs to help her parents start moving their things. She slowed her pace when she noticed someone standing there talking to her mom. A woman, probably a couple years older than her dad, with long, curly hair pulled into a ponytail. She was wearing terrible mom jeans and a plain white t-shirt. Great, she was already a victim of horrendous fashion. Nothing could have prepared her for probably the ugliest shirt she had ever seen coming around the truck. It was loud and pink, and orange, there was definitely some yellow and blue in there as well. Gigi blinked as the shirt moved closer to her, finally registering the person wearing it. A teenage girl with round glasses and wild curly hair. She was holding a box and nodded as Gigi’s mom told her to just set in down in the kitchen.
“Hi, I’m Crystal!” The girl beamed as she made her way back out of the house. She stuck her hand out for Gigi to shake.
“Oh uh, hey. Gi-Gigi.” She said. Gigi grabbed Crystal’s hand suddenly when she’d realized she left the girl hanging.
“Well, it’s nice to meet you. Gigi.” She repeated the taller girl’s name carefully. Gigi just smiled and mumbled a small ‘you too’ before turning and joining her dad at the back of the truck. As she helped pull boxes from the back of the truck she could hear Crystal talking to her mother.
“I really love what you’ve done with the house Mrs. Goode! My old best friend, Aiden, used to live here and phew, her family really did not have the interior design touch.” Gigi chuckled to herself listening to Crystal ramble.
“Good god I think that girl has said more in the fifteen minutes we’ve known her, than you have your whole life.” Gigi’s dad said.
“Ha ha.” Gigi rolled her eyes. She picked up a box labeled “Gigi’s Crap”, courtesy of her father. “Holy shit.” She said dropping the box. Jeez, did she pack every single item in her room into one box? She bent down to pick it back up.
“Here let me get that one.” Crystal was right there squatting down to pick up the box. Gigi looked up into her eyes and, damn. How did she not notice how nice Crystal’s skin was or how great her eyebrows were. Plus my god her tan…
“O-oh yeah, sure totally.” Gigi said letting go of the box. She took a step back and just watched as Crystal made her toward the house again.
“Here champ,” Gigi’s dad said, handing her another box. “Don’t worry, it’s just pillows. Hope you can handle it.”
“Ya know, I’m not sure I can, old man.” She said, struggling to pick up the light box.
Gigi picked up the box and followed Crystal into the house. They made their way up the stairs and into Gigi’s bedroom. Crystal sat the box down on the window seat before sitting down next to it.
“I wish my room had a window seat.” She said. Gigi watched as she swung her legs back and forth. Her very tan, toned legs.
“Oh yeah it’s..great.” Gigi swallowed hard.
“S-so uh, where are you all from?” Crystal asked, still smiling. My god had she stopped smiling at all since she introduced herself?
“California.”
“Wow, I’ve never even been out of Springfield. Don’t worry I won’t ask if you miss it. Like that’s kinda obvious.” Crystal rolled her eyes. Gigi just nodded in response, she had no idea what to say. Standing in her room, alone with Crystal, she was becoming increasingly self-aware. Gigi felt disgusting, she just spent 24 hours in a dingy moving truck and the night in a shady motel. She shifted uncomfortably, crossing her arms over her chest.
“Um, okay. So I think I’m gonna go back downstairs and uh see if your parents need more help.” Crystal ran her hand through her hair awkwardly before standing up and walking past Gigi.
Gigi followed Crystal downstairs, kicking herself for not being able to speak to the girl beyond a couple of words. Now she was gonna go back to her own house and never speak to Gigi again.
“Oh great, the girls are back.” Crystal’s mom pointed to the teens as they made their way down the porch stairs, “Honey, we’re gonna have the Goode’s over for dinner tomorrow. You girls can get to know each other better before school on Monday huh?”
“Yeah totally, it’ll be fun.” Crystal said, looking over Gigi. She tried to avoid eye contact, not wanting Crystal to know she had been looking at her the whole time. Just wow, who let her be that pretty? Shouldn’t that be illegal or something.
“Okay, well thank you so much ladies for helping us with these boxes. I think we can finish the rest ourselves. I wouldn’t want to impose on the rest of your evening.” Gigi’s dad said.
“Oh no, you’re no imposition at all. But I do think we should get going, Crystal’s dad will be home soon and I should get started on dinner.” Crystal waved goodbye to Gigi before turning around and walking back to her home.
Once they finished moving everything off the truck, Gigi excused herself for the rest of the night. She unpacked a couple boxes and most of her clothes. Occasionally she would look out her window at Crystal’s house, secretly hoping to see her in one of the windows. She never did though. After around nine o’clock all the lights in the big, yellow house turned off and Gigi decided to just give up and go to bed. She fell asleep almost instantly, exhausted from moving.
