Yeah, Iā€™m gonna need more of that villain yandere whoā€™s extremely gentle with reader, just that little drabble you made has me head over heels for them šŸ˜­šŸ˜­
i hear you anon! there is something extremely appealing about a potential villain yandere who is capable of extreme evil that has such a gentle side that it makes you doubt who they truly are.
letā€™s consider a scenario idea: how did you end up with them?
content warnings: yandere talks, implied stalking, heavily implied abduction ā€” side note: not proofread
well. to be quite honest, you werenā€™t entirely sure. at first when you woke up, everything was normal. you were in your bedroom and nothing was amiss. everything was just as you remembered it, but then. some things started to slip through the cracks.
the room you were in felt stuffier for one, and there was no light coming in through the window. you looked outside just out of curiosity and were met with a brick wall. that couldnā€™t have been right! as a result, you tore out of the room in your sleep clothes, only to be met with a place you didnā€™t recognise at all.
this was your room but it was merely a replica of it!
so where were you really? you had no idea. in fact, you didnā€™t really want to find out. sure, you were curious enough, but if you considered itā€¦ every single piece, every fold, every old stain and speck of dust was perfectly copied into wherever this was.
someone has been paying attention to you and your life to a disturbing extent. as a result, you retreated back into bed, throwing the covers that smelled a little too fresh over your shoulders and backed yourself up against the corner. your mind was reeling, desperately trying to figure out if this was a cruel joke or if it was something much more complex.
after a while though, someone comes in through the door. someone you recognise, but not personally. youā€™ve maybe heard of them through word of mouth or through the news of your circles, or the like, but what you did know about them was that they were not someone kind.
you tried backing away as they approached you with a tray packed to the brim of familiar smelling dishes, that tickled your senses in the way that you liked. homemade assortments of your favourite breakfast items, although, at a glance, prepared with almost an eerie precision that made the offering feel wrong.
they then set it aside on a nearby surface, choosing to take up a small space on your bed. theyā€™d coax you out and draw you in, despite every fiber of your being screaming at you to get away from this person because something wasnā€™t right about them. this must have been some sort of trick, after all.
and yet, all they did was sit there and smile so warmly at you to an extent that such a gesture was terrifying to you. they petted your head, smoothing their tainted hands along your scalp l as a kind gesture in which they hoped would comfort you. theyā€™d whisper all sorts of promises, that it would all be okay, that they just want the best for you, that you were safe now from a world that didnā€™t appreciate you, but thenā€”
you saw your opening. they were distracted but the door that led just out of the bedroom was technically unmonitored, because they were in here with you. while they were distracted, you tore out of there as fast as you could, running towards your hopeful freedom and yetā€¦
oh you silly thing, did you really think youā€™d get far?
their hands wrapped right around you, so strong and longing, reeling you tight against their chest so that you could feel their frantic heartbeat. you worried them just now. their nose settled into the back crook of your neck and their lips hovered just beside your ear, their voice so low and smooth, lacking the initial warmth they greeted you with. it wasnā€™t a voice that was exactly cold, but it was laced with a threat that left you feelingā€¦ letā€™s say, uncertain.
ā€œi will allow you many things,ā€ they promised, tightening their arms around your frame, ā€œbut escaping me is not one of them.ā€
the warning was clear, and they couldnā€™t help but ghost lazy kisses around your neck, however, ceasing from the moment they sensed your discomfort. they had to take things slow, they had to be gentle with you. theyā€™d change just for you, but nobody else.
ā€œi apologise,ā€ theyā€™d then conclude, ā€œi donā€™t want to make you feel afraid. please come eat breakfast, iā€™ll leave you alone if youā€™d like.ā€
theyā€™d always true to their word, too, but that initial threat would come to haunt you. what was truly chilling to you, however, was when you witnessed the horrors of what they were capable of, only for them to comfort you with those very same hands (that one time ago, when they demonstrated to you what real mercy looked like).

Either we havenā€™t talked about it enough or Iā€™ve somehow failed to see posts about it, but uu!spokeā€™s character is so perfectly Young Hearty Protagonist.
Iā€™m not caught up with the series so this is probably inaccurate. Add a dash of headcanon and Writerā€™s Projection, and tada, youā€™ve (probably) got Out Of Character! But! I digress. This is my take (for now)!!!
Heā€™s torn constantly, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. This man is in actual agony. He just wants to do right, to set morals for himself that are good and just, that are RIGHT, all the while balancing said ability with the churning guilt that all of this is HIS fault. In a way, everything he didnā€™t want to do came to be because of him. It all leads back to him.
Of course, thereā€™s the butterfly effect, but that only does so much to convince someone whose world is now on the verge of death thanks to his own actions. He set things into motion and he continues to do so.
Because with the flower siblings (ouch, btw, but amazing showcase of character), that was because of HIM. He technically had a choice (couldā€™ve spared them), but he didnā€™t (he needed to kill rose to get closer to his goal, and if he left her alive, heā€™d risk dangerous consequences), but he DID, IF he had just chosen a different path in the past, if he had never done what he chose to doā€”and thatā€™s what I love about him. Itā€™s tragic. Spoke is locked onto a path and by the stars above is that guy trudging along on it.
But the point remains is that heā€™s still, likeā€¦ a kid. He wants to be told heā€™s doing the right thing. He wants to be forgiven, and it doesnā€™t matter who that forgiveness comes from. Like in EP22, he constantly tells Leo and Mapicc that he doesnā€™t care for Ashā€™s praise, and that heā€™s only so enthusiastic about upgrading his level because it brings him closer to his goal. But we still see him preen at comments and get excited over validationā€”so much so that even the others comment on itā€”like come on bro, actions speak louder than words and man im covering my ears bc it is LOUD over here!!!
Heā€™s a determined fighter, for sure. But heā€™s also just an insecure person trying to make up for their past actions. Which, considering his circumstances, is the worst combination of all.

'You want your mother, you think. You don't think the words, for you've just been born and have not learned any, but you can feel that you want your mother. The cold bites at you like a parasite. You want to burrow deeper into your shell. But you reach outwards, tentacles uncharacteristically slow for a mer of your kind. You're hungry, ravenous.
Your teeth tear into more flesh. It's raw, warm. This would've been your sisterā€” no, it is your sister. You're eating your sister, and she's warm against the cold of the sea. You're glad most of her upper half is already gone.
You want your mother. Yā‚’įµ¤ wā‚ā‚™ā‚œ yā‚’įµ¤įµ£ ā‚˜ā‚’ā‚œā‚•ā‚‘įµ£.

uhhh hey...... YAYYY FIRST OC LORE DROP!!! here's a summary of the first part of her actual backstory so you can understand more!
Morwenna is a Humboldt Squid Mermaid, and was born like one too. Humboldt squid will lay gelatinous egg masses that are almost entirely transparent and float freely in the water column. These egg masses usually contain at least a million eggs, having humboldt squid take the crown as the cephalopod with the highest amount of eggs laid at once. For the sake of believability, as one million mermaid eggs sounds ridiculous, we are going to reduce this amount to one thousand eggs. Assuming that a large amount of these eggs will be eaten or destroyed and not make it back to their mother, this feels reasonable.
In the darkness of the deep sea, Morwenna and her sisters and brothers laid silent in their egg mass. Usually, the egg masses would be left to their devices, and the baby mers would find their way back to their mothers on their own. However, Morwennaā€™s mother is on the more sentimental side, and she would frequently come to check on the eggs. The eggs began to hatch a few days earlier than planned, maybe around an hour before Morwennaā€™s mother arrived. Morwenna slowly emerged from the membrane into dark, cold waters.Ā 
A sperm whale found the egg mass. It devoured a majority of the eggs and babies before leaving to find and attack the adults of Morwennaā€™s family. In the midst of the chaos and the blood in the water, Morwenna pulled the half-eaten corpse of her sister sticking out of one of the eggs and hid inside, cold, dark and alone. Morwenna and her siblings spent three days and three nights alone. They ate the remains of their dead siblings to survive. By the time Morwennaā€™s mother made it back to them, there were three (including Morwenna) babies left.Ā 
This incident has deeply affected Morwenna in the coming years. Although the birth of a mer isn't usually tender, Morwennaā€™s experience is exceptionally cruel even compared to the average. In the coming years, Morwenna has developed claustrophobia and a fear of sperm whales.

pertaining to the idea of tenaxā€™s band of strays i do think itā€™s touching that the kids are the ones who saved him and waited outside the door to make sure heā€™s okay. for all tenax claims to be harsh and cruel itā€™s a fine indicator of his character that the kids wonā€™t rest without him and are there every time heā€™s in danger.
#AND I CANā€™T FUCKING BELIEVE I HAD THEM STEALING THEIR WAY OMTO#THE PLATFORMS WHAT DO YOU MEANNNNNNN oh i love being right#also that all the kids are there watching when he kills the guy whose name i forget because i simply cannot hold names in my brain but the#evil one. who i was like oh thank GOD he died i was so sick of this plot he kept killing everyone & i screeched when he almost got claudia#something something calla saying ā€˜youā€™re not a child anymoreā€™ about tenaxā€™s cruelty to the brothers (which in my twisted narratives. sorry.#thereā€™s only one scorpus who KNEW the child tenax was. the child heā€™s still healing and caring for. all of the children whose eyes he looks#into and sees a hurt thatā€™s just like his? the children tenax saved whether heā€™ll admit it or not? scorpus saved him. and thatā€™s all)#(also this is a terrible thing to say i knew it about but like. oh i knew it about the master of the house. tenax making sure NO ONE#touches the kids or does anything with them really but Claudia and himā€”the people he trusts which also now includes calla but he makes sure#itā€™s someone he knows. also do we have a claudia backstory??? or would i just get to invent a reason why sheā€™s there and what sheā€™s doing#and why sheā€™s so loyal to tenax. did she also see the child he was and thatā€™s why sheā€™s so protective of him but also why she gets along#with calla so well because the two of them see how heā€™s festered in that. like calla fully has the rights here i think she should rip him a#new one for his lack of decency and good qualities he can be corrupt without being cruel yā€™know. and he should be called out on his#peter pan ass behavior youā€™re not a child!! there are such consequences!!! dream a little bigger a little kinder!!! change the dream you#made up with scorpus when you were a young angry teenager and make it fit who you are NOW. the life you want NOW not the life you thought#you should have & deserved. what did you learn from growing up. what changed. what do you need now & what do you want. not the same things#and i too wish that this was 30k and covered their entire backstory#BUT IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION of i also need it to be 100k canon-divergent (presumably. iā€™m only through episode eight. but i canā€™t imagine#that they will follow the plot EYE would write because they need to have a second season & you canā€™t have that without conflict which means#titus overthrown scorpus is gonna die metaphorically or literally etc etc the gold faction in shambles but technically triumphant with#domitian on the throne and tenax in a position of patrician power accepted into their society but still not equal and happy. whereas lmao#domitian youā€™re getting shipped off to some other city because your plot to overthrow titus failed and yet he is merciful enough he wonā€™t#kill you he just sends you and hermes together (at which point over the months long journey you forgive and re-learn each other bc titus#didnā€™t know of the betrayal he thought it would be kind to send your (ex-)lover with you. do we see how this works perfectly) & tenax falls#back into the underworld where he now knows he belongs because blood is everything except when it isnā€™t. when he realizes what he has is#worth more. no matter if the blood he has is tainted or patrician the blood oath he swore with scorpus iron on their tongues means more.#callaā€™s split lip defending him and their winnings. kwaameā€™s blood on the hard packed sand of the arena fighting to stay alive and to come#home to them. the fire in auraā€™s cheeks when she laughs at ivy.

Kamala Harris just announced that her vice president will be Minnesota governor Tim Walz. Based on the coverage so far I'm really reassured by this decision.
The Washington Post did an obviously great job of making a prepared article for each option, considering how long an article they had up 7 minutes after the announcement.
((Okay technically it's not an official announcement yet it's "according to three people familiar with the pick, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a decision that is not yet public." But listen. I am 99% sure this is a weather balloon. (Meaning: a deliberate leak to gauge reaction.) Because the sheer weakness or incompetence on the part of the Harris campaign that it would take for three people to all confirm that within a few hours hours of each other and the planned announcement it is massive.))
Tumblr media
-via The Washington Post, August 6, 2024
Honestly this decision, from everything I've read and can tell, looks like it's brilliant politics.
Important Context: The vice president(ial candidates)'s job in an election is not to be similar to the president. The vice president's job on the ballot is very, very much specifically to be different from the president. Why? So they can cover each others' weaknesses. Especially regionally.
(Sidenote: I feel a bit ridiculous saying this. But genuinely if you want to get a stronger understanding of how US elections really work. Go watch seasons 6 and 7 of The West Wing. Genuinely, a lot of politicians have said - especially back in its day - that that was the most accurate depiction of an election they'd ever seen. Also specifically features an entire arc about a contested Democratic primary convention, so also very good if you're interested in understanding weird nominating convention shenanigans.)
From the article:
"Harrisā€™s choice for a running mate was among the most closely watched decisions of her fledgling campaign, as she sought to bolster the ticketā€™s prospects for victory in November and rapidly find someone who could be a governing partner. In picking Walz, she has selected a seasoned politician with executive governing experience and signaled the importance of Midwestern battleground states such as Wisconsin and Michigan.
Walzā€™s foray into politics came later in life: He spent more than two decades as a public school teacher and football coach, and as a member of the Army National Guard, before running for Congress in his 40s. In 2006, he defeated a Republican to win Minnesotaā€™s 1st Congressional District--a rural, conservative area--and won reelection five times before leaving Congress to run for governor.
Walz was first elected governor in 2018 and handily won reelection in 2022. Though little-known outside his state, Walz emerged publicly as one of the earliest names mentioned as a possible running mate for Harris, and in the ensuing days he made the rounds on television as an outspoken surrogate for the vice president...
ā€œThese are weird people on the other side. They want to take books away, they want to be in your exam room. ā€¦ They are bad on foreign policy, they are bad on the environment, they certainly have no health care plan, and they keep talking about the middle-class,ā€ Walz told MSNBC in July. ā€œAs I said, a robber baron real estate guy and a venture capitalist trying to tell us they understand who we are? They donā€™t know who we are.ā€
Walz also has faced criticism from Republicans that his policies as governor were too liberal, including legalizing recreational marijuana for adults, protecting abortion rights, expanding LGBTQ protections, implementing tuition-free college for low-income Minnesotans and providing free breakfast and lunch for schoolchildren in the state.
But many of those initiatives are broadly popular. Walz also signed an executive order removing the college-degree requirement for 75 percent of Minnesotaā€™s state jobs, a move that garnered bipartisan support and that several other states have also adopted.
ā€œWhat a monster. Kids are eating and having full bellies, so they can go learn, and women are making their own health-care decisions,ā€ Walz said sarcastically in a July 28 interview with CNN when questioned whether such policies would be fodder for conservative attacks, later adding: ā€œIf thatā€™s where they want to label me, Iā€™m more than happy to take the [liberal] label.ā€
Walz also spoke at a kickoff event in St. Paul for a Democratic canvassing effort, casting Trump as a ā€œbully.ā€
ā€œDonā€™t lift these guys up like theyā€™re some kind of heroes. Everybody in this room knows--I know it as a teacher--a bully has no self-confidence. A bully has no strength. They have nothing,ā€ Walz said at the event, sporting a camouflage hunting hat and T-shirt.
Walz has explained that he felt some Democratsā€™ practice of calling Trump an existential threat to democracy was giving him too much credit, which prompted his decision to denounce the GOP nominee instead as being ā€œweird.ā€
ā€œI do believe all those things are a real possibility, but it gives him way too much power," Walz said on CNNā€™s ā€œState of the Unionā€ regarding the Democratsā€™ rhetoric. ā€œListen to the guy. Heā€™s talking about Hannibal Lecter, shocking sharks, and just whatever crazy thing pops into his mind.ā€
If Walz is elected vice president, under state law, Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (D) would assume the governorship for the rest of his term. Minnesota Senate president Bobby Joe Champion, a Democrat, would become lieutenant governor."

This guy. Sounds like. fucking Moderate swing-state/rural/Midwestern/southern/"heartland"/working class white voter catnip. He sounds like he's also a very smart politician and strong campaigner. And he's apparently genuinely a good guy with a good record, too.
He sounds like he's going to do a really good job of appealing to voters in several of the big deal swing states without being from any of them specifically. Which means it doesn't feel like pandering to one of the states involved (and thereby spurning the others), which is also great.
(Also he was the one who started "weird" @ conservatives and I think we should take that seriously as a very good political instinct/move. Judging in large part by how it has so clearly hit an actual nerve with conservatives like so little else. Also hugely relevant: that post going around about how part of why conservatives are so upset about "weird" is because in the Midwest, "weird" specifically also implies anti-social or harmful behavior.)
Officially feeling more optimistic about Trump not winning in November

Luckily for you, James Barnes, a wildly successful CEO, has found his way into your life. And heā€™s going to take such good care of you.

Tumblr media
Your hands are shaking slightly, your heartbeat races with anxiety, and your leg bounces rapidly. Today is an important day after all, and your boss has made it clear that if you mess up in any way then heā€™d have to rethink your employment. That sent dread flooding through your body, so youā€™ve been preparing yourself for the last week to make sure everything for the meeting is perfect.
And, on the technical side, everything is immaculate - mostly due to you staying up until almost midnight each night to polish the presentation. You thought everything was done properly, but when youā€™d walked into the building that morning your boss was holed up in his office finishing up his portion of the work, so youā€™d decided to simply email him to let him know that you had arrived.
Everything was perfect. But when you get into the meeting room, your bossā€™ eyes go wide, anger clouding them while he scowls. You quickly make your way to his side, only for him to bark out a command for you to grab water for his incoming guests. Placing your notebook on the table, you turn to scurry off to the side to grab the glasses, but youā€™re stopped when your boss grabs your arm harshly.
ā€œDo you have a change of clothes?ā€
ā€œUmā€¦ Um, I-ā€œ Your boss raises an eyebrow, and you feel like you might throw up from the sudden anxiety. ā€œNo, sir.ā€
He scoffs, muttering under his breath something about looking ā€œtrashy,ā€ before releasing you and allowing you to go to the minibar.
Your arm stings, no doubt sporting a red mark because of how harsh the grip was. Youā€™re also confused because you thought the floral dress youā€™d chosen was pretty. Sure, it may not be high class, but your boss has never had a problem with it before, but youā€™re assuming that heā€™s on edge due to who heā€™s meeting with.
James Barnes; the most powerful and successful CEO in the entire country. You havenā€™t met him personally, but from what you hear you know that heā€™s not someone you want to upset. According to the hushed whispers around the office, he stands at a towering 6ā€™6, tattoos cover his arms and hands, and if he frowns then you better move out of the way.
Would Mr. Barnes be upset with your attire?
You desperately hope not, because you need this job. While you can barely make your rent and utilities, you donā€™t have any other job lined up, and youā€™re way too scared to ask for a raise from a man who so clearly disrespects you. For right now, though, youā€™re stuck.
The oak doors open, and one of the office assistants steps off to the side while holding the door open for several men to walk in. You hear him before you see him. Youā€™ve never heard his voice, but the commanding tone he uses when he addresses your boss lets you know that it must be him.
ā€œHello, Mr. Walker,ā€ Mr. Barnes greets him, and you can hear your boss stand and greet him as well.
Youā€™re trying your hardest to keep calm while you walk toward the table with a platter holding several glasses of water. You do your best to place them in front of the men without showing how nervous you are.
But when you get to Mr. Barnes, you nearly spill the drink all over the table once you get a whiff of his clearly expensive cologne. Oh, how youā€™d love to be surrounded by that scent, the woodsy smell almost intimidates you but youā€™re unsure as to why you donā€™t mind.
Youā€™ve never done anything even remotely sexual with a man, youā€™re far too awkward and anxious in a way that isnā€™t too appealing to many, but for a very brief moment, you wonder what he looks like underneath the black three-piece suit ā€” the prominent veins on his hands insinuates that the rest of his body is probably just as toned. But youā€™re immediately snapped out of your thoughts by your bossā€™ harsh voice calling your name.
ā€œArenā€™t you going to greet our guests?ā€
You breathe in sharply, heat flooding your face as you stumble your way through an apology and a polite ā€œHello, Mr. Barnes.ā€
Youā€™re about to leave his side when he reaches out to grasp your hand ā€” surprisingly gentle for such a powerful man. With a slight jump, you glance over to your boss whoā€™s staring at you as though youā€™re becoming a nuisance and should quickly get back to your chair beside his. But you canā€™t, both because of Mr. Barnesā€™ hold and the fact that when you look back at the man in front of you his ocean-blue eyes pull you in, and youā€™re unable to break your gaze.
ā€œAnd who might you be, darling?ā€ His eyes twinkle with mischief but youā€™re too blind to see it, youā€™re too flustered to really focus.
ā€œOh, you donā€™t need to worry about her, sheā€™s just ā€“ā€
ā€œI wasnā€™t asking you,ā€ Mr. Barnes snaps, briefly glancing at your boss and not bothering to hide his smirk when he almost visibly cowers. ā€œNow, darling,ā€ he continues, rubbing the back of your hand with his thumb. ā€œWhatā€™s your name?ā€
You nearly squeak, having to force yourself to tell him your name before he gets upset with your lack of answer.
Mr. Barnes hums, then brings your hand up so he can place a delicate kiss on your knuckles. ā€œA pretty name for a pretty girl.ā€
You flounder for a moment, unsure as to what to make of the compliment. You donā€™t have much time to overthink it because this meeting has a time limit and youā€™re sure your boss would prefer to get this over with.
ā€œTh-Thank you, sir.ā€ Youā€™re not sure why, but your voice is breathy because something about that word ā€” sir ā€” just feels right for him, though youā€™re not sure what it means.
ā€œSo polite,ā€ He mumbles to himself, and his eyes seem to grow darker. Finally, he lets you go, shooting you a wink and smirking to himself when you scurry off to sit next to your boss.
The presentation went relatively smoothly ā€” thank God. You donā€™t know what you would have done if anything went wrong. In fact, Mr. Barnes seemed extremely invested in what you had to say, catching your gaze several times and causing you to stumble over your words a few times, only for your boss to clear his throat and glare at you. Eventually, Mr. Barnes throws him his own glare, silently telling him to shut up, to which your boss finally does.
Once the meeting was declared to be over, you were quick to close your notebook and tuck your pen behind your ear, then you went around the table and started collecting the now-empty glasses. As youā€™re running around the room trying to clean up, you can feel a powerful gaze boring holes into your body, but you try not to pay it any mind. Itā€™s probably just your boss anyway.
But when you turn away from the desk to finally leave, you bump into Mr. Barnes, your body nearly slamming into his very sturdy chest. His hands shoot to your hips almost immediately, helping to steady yourself.
The warmth of his body pulls you in, but that might also be because Mr. Barnes is literally bringing you closer to his chest by the hold he has on your hips. And thatā€™s when you realize that your hands are clutching his shoulders, but you canā€™t find it in you to let go.
ā€œWhatā€™s the rush?ā€ He asks playfully, his upper lip quirking up in a smirk. ā€œYouā€™re running around like a little bunny.ā€
ā€œOh, oh Iā€™m sorry, Mr. Barnes.ā€ Youā€™re not sure why youā€™re apologizing, you recognize that heā€™s just teasing, but something in you doesnā€™t want to disappoint him.Ā 
ā€œMr. Barnes.ā€ He hums, his eyes briefly glancing down to your lips. ā€œI like it when you call me that.ā€
Now youā€™re really flustered, your face heats up and you have to do everything in your power not to faint ā€” the way his voice deepens is doing something to you and you donā€™t know how to handle it.
ā€œIā€™d like it a lot more if you called me James, though. Can you do that for me, bunny?ā€Ā 
ā€œYe-Yes, James.ā€ You might have been embarrassed about how quick you were to answer him, but the way he closes his eyes and tightens the hold he has on your body youā€™re thinking it was the right decision.
Mr. Barnes ā€” James ā€” opens his mouth again, but is interrupted by the door being opened by one of the office assistants, whose eyes immediately go wide in shock. It seems to take a second for her to gather her bearings, but she recovers soon enough.
ā€œMr. Walker is requesting you,ā€ She tells you, glancing over at James and giving him a nervous smile. ā€œHe says you have to file all of the paperwork for the meeting.ā€
You sigh, youā€™re tired of having to do everything for your boss only for him to take credit ninety percent of the time. But, itā€™s what youā€™re paid to do, so you suck it up.Ā 
Looking back to James, you give him a shy smile, reluctantly removing your hands from his shoulders.Ā 
ā€œUm, I guess I should go, James.ā€ Youā€™re a little sad, and you donā€™t quite know why having to leave him and go back to your duties makes you so anxious. It could be because Mr. Walker is mean, or maybe because James makes you feel safe. In reality, itā€™s probably a mixture of both.
ā€œI guess you should,ā€ He murmurs, removing one of his large hands from your waist so he can cup the back of your neck and pull you closer, only for him to press a lingering kiss on your forehead.
And absolutely no one can blame you for the quiet whimper that leaves your lips, even though you are surprised by your reaction. It doesnā€™t matter though, because he finally moves back, letting go of you and reaching into the pocket on the inside of his suit jacket so he can pull out what looks like a business card.
ā€œHere,ā€ James says, handing it to you. ā€œIn case you ever want to talk, youā€™re always free to call me.ā€
ā€œWhat would we talk about?ā€ Your confusion causes James to chuckle, and he seems amused by your naivety.
ā€œWhatever you want, Bunny. Whether you just want to talk about nonsense or vent about your boss. Doesnā€™t matter to me as long as I get to hear your beautiful voice.ā€
With that, he gives you a wink, then turns to the door and leaves, though he does glance back at you. With one final smile, he leaves, and youā€™re left with a million racing thoughts while standing in the middle of the meeting room.
Tumblr media
It took three days for you to finally reach out to James. As soon as you got home that night you ran to your bedroom and added his number to your phone, going so far as to put his business card in your bedside table drawer so you wouldnā€™t lose it. It just took a little time to gain the courage to actually contact him. After all, what if he was just being friendly? Youā€™ve never met anyone quite like him, so itā€™s hard to read into his actions.
But today had gone horribly. The cafĆ© you frequent before work was so busy that you didnā€™t have time to grab your coffee without being extremely late, the bistro you were demanded to pick up lunch from was closed ā€” and while it wasnā€™t your fault, Mr. Walker certainly seemed to think it was. Your workload was piled high and by the end of the day, you were on the verge of crying due to the stress and mean comments thrown at you by your boss.
You need a shoulder to lean on and, unfortunately for you, you donā€™t have anyone else to go to. Youā€™re pretty sure your roommates hate you and only let you live with them because they havenā€™t found a new roommate yet, you donā€™t have siblings and your parents are states away, and you have maybe a few friends, but even then the communication is scarce.
You need a shoulder to lean on, and James offered his, so you finally decided to pull up his contact and start a new message. It takes several minutes to figure out what to say, but you eventually settle on something simple.
Hi, James. I donā€™t know if you remember me, but Iā€™m Mr. Walkerā€™s assistant. You gave me your number in case I ever wanted to talk.
You hit send and stare down at your phone anxiously as you wait for a reply. A minute goes by, then two, suddenly five, and then youā€™re starting to regret texting him, what if he doesnā€™t remember you? What if heā€™s busy? What if ā€“Ā 
Your phone starts ringing, Jamesā€™ name popping up on the screen and taunting you ā€” almost commanding you to answer.
ā€œHello?ā€
ā€œGood evening, bunny,ā€ James says softly, and if you press your ear close enough to your phone you could pretend that heā€™s right next to you.
ā€œHi, James. I hope Iā€™m not disturbing you.ā€ Your voice is soft and timid, youā€™d hate to disrupt anything heā€™s doing.
ā€œDonā€™t be silly, bunny,ā€ He says, his smile evident in his tone. ā€œI always have time for you.ā€
ā€œOh, um. Thank you, sir.ā€ Itā€™s almost indescribable, but you can just make out the soft curse James lets out, followed by some shuffling.
ā€œSo, what did you want to talk about?ā€
Youā€™re a little apprehensive, but with Jamesā€™ gentle encouragement, youā€™re able to get everything off your chest, complaining about your day and everything that went wrong. Each word spoken feels like weights lifting off of your shoulders, allowing you to breathe easier every time James hums. He doesnā€™t interrupt you, which you greatly appreciate, and by the time youā€™re done, you fall backward onto your bed, relieved.
ā€œIā€™m sorry you had such a bad day, bunny,ā€ James coos with his smooth-as-honey voice, filling your body with warmth and comfort. ā€œA pretty girl like you doesnā€™t deserve to be treated like that.ā€ That comment floods your face with heat and you shuffle up the bed to lean against the headboard.
ā€œOh, I - thank you, sir.ā€ There it is again, sir. James exhales slowly as though heā€™s trying to control himself from doing something he shouldnā€™t, and part of you is momentarily worried that youā€™ve upset him somehow. You donā€™t want to disappoint him.
ā€œWhat can I do to help?ā€
What can he do to help? Youā€™re not quite sure, youā€™re not sad, and youā€™re not angry, but you would be lying if you said you didnā€™t need at least a hug right now. But, it would be too imposing to ask, right? Thereā€™s no way he would be willing to come over ā€“ that is, if your roommates would even allow him over. And he certainly wouldnā€™t invite a stranger into his house. So, you lie to him.
ā€œOh ā€“ Oh, no, James, I donā€™t ā€“ you donā€™t have to ā€“ itā€™s fine ā€“ā€
ā€œBunny.ā€
Your mouth promptly closes, taking a deep breath through your nose and exhaling slowly.
ā€œSorry, James.ā€
ā€œDonā€™t be sorry, bunny.ā€ Thereā€™s some shuffling in the background as he talks and you canā€™t help but sigh at how sincere his voice is. ā€œNow, what can I do to help?ā€ And before you can even open your mouth heā€™s talking again, ā€œDonā€™t say nothing, because I know thereā€™s something you want.ā€
Youā€™re silent for a moment, stewing over how to tell him. But, heā€™ll probably just be empathetic and say something along the lines of ā€˜Iā€™d hug you if I were there right nowā€™. So, you decide to just spit it out.
ā€œI guess I just wantā€¦ I just need a hug, I think,ā€ You sigh, feeling a sudden sense of loneliness. Itā€™s hard not having anyone to talk to, to be isolated even from the people you live with, to be put down time and time again, and not have anyone to support you.
ā€œWhere are you?ā€ James asks, and you hear some more shuffling in the background, followed by the jingling of what sounds like keys.
ā€œIā€™m at my apartment,ā€ You say, confused. He couldnā€™t possibly be coming over, could he?
ā€œSend me your address and Iā€™ll come pick you up, weā€™ll go out for ice cream,ā€ James says decisively, and you can tell he doesnā€™t want any protesting. ā€œBunny,ā€ He says when you donā€™t say anything. ā€œYou need cheering up and Iā€™m here to do just that. Please send me your address.ā€ He speaks gently but once again, he doesnā€™t seem to want you to argue against it.
ā€œO-Okay, I will.ā€
ā€œGood, Iā€™ll see you soon, bunny.ā€ When you bid him goodbye, he hangs up, and youā€™re quick to send him your address, giving him instructions to text you when he arrives so you can meet him out front of the building.
During the next twenty or so minutes youā€™re practically running around your room trying to make yourself look presentable. You cried all of your makeup off so you opt to just wash the rest of it off, and then you pull your hair back and away from your face. It takes a bit to decide what to wear, after all this is just a friend taking another friend to get ice cream, but this is also James Barnes; he has more wealth than you could possibly imagine. You want to impress him and appear grateful for his friendliness, and looking at least half-decent would achieve that.
Finally, someone knocks on your door, yelling, ā€œSomeoneā€™s here for you!ā€
With a rush of excitement, you grab your phone and wallet and slip on your shoes, then make your way out of your room to the front door where another roommate is standing in front of it, leaning against the frame and giggling at the person.
James.
He looks bored, almost like heā€™s trying to appear interested but canā€™t quite muster up the energy to do so. When you approach, he lifts his head, a wide smile crossing his face.
ā€œThereā€™s my little bunny,ā€ He says confidently, completely ignoring your annoyed roommate. ā€œCome on, letā€™s get you cheered up.ā€
With that you walk to him, timidly accepting his outstretched hand and letting him gently tug you into the hallway. When you turn around to tell your roommate that youā€™ll be back later you canā€™t even get a word out before you see her glaring at you and shutting the door ā€” the click of the lock is audible through the empty hallway.
ā€œAre they always like that?ā€ James asks with a tone that conveys concern.
ā€œLike what?ā€ You know what heā€™s talking about, but you hate acknowledging it.
ā€œRude and disrespectful.ā€ He is so blunt that it causes you to look down in embarrassment to avoid his intense gaze.
Yes, you want to say, theyā€™re awful. You want to shout from the rooftops that your roommates are horrible to you, but youā€™re just too scared to do it.
ā€œOh ā€“ Oh, no, theyā€™re justā€¦ā€ You trail off, peeking up at James to see the disbelief in his eyes. When you look down again, he brings up one of his hands to cup your cheek and guide your head up so you can look at him head-on.
ā€œYou donā€™t need to lie to me, bunny. I want you to trust me.ā€ James sighs, leaning forward and placing a small kiss on your forehead. ā€œCome on,ā€ He squeezes your hand, smiling softly at you as he starts walking you out of the building and to his car.
Tumblr media
It doesnā€™t take long to get to the ice cream shop, only a five-minute drive, and when you get there James keeps the car locked as he gets out so he can circle around to your side and open your door for you.
ā€œTh-Thank you,ā€ You say as you put your hand in Jamesā€™ outstretched one, letting him guide you out of the car. He keeps his hold on your hand as you walk into the shop, going so far as to thread your fingers together while you wait in line.
The image of your hand encompassed by Jamesā€™ large tattooed one has your tummy fluttering with butterflies. But, you must have been staring for a little too long because youā€™re broken out of your trance by James gently squeezing your hand.
ā€œIs this okay, bunny?ā€
ā€œYes!ā€ Heat floods your face as soon as you say it, feeling embarrassed by how quick you were to answer. ā€œI, I mean. Umā€¦ Yes, itā€™s okay.ā€
James smirks at you, clearly enjoying how flustered you are. But, before you can stew in your shame, the man behind the counter says, ā€œNext!ā€
You walk up to the counter, letting James order before giving yours. And when itā€™s time to pay, James doesnā€™t even drop your hand while he fishes his wallet out of his pocket and takes out his card. Your tummy flutters once again.
ā€œCome, bunny.ā€
With your desserts now in hand, James leads you to a corner booth, only letting go of your hand so you can scoot in. He sits across from you, looking at you with what can only be described as thinly veiled hunger. Itā€™s not off-putting, you just donā€™t know what it means.
ā€œSo, umā€¦ā€ You trail off looking down at your bowl of ice cream, fiddling with the spoon they gave you.
ā€œYou donā€™t need to be nervous, bunny,ā€ James coos, reaching over and placing his hand palm up on the table, and youā€™re helpless but to take it, practically aching to feel his warmth again. ā€œNow, other than everything that happened today, how have you been?ā€
Itā€™s surprisingly easy to fall into a pleasant conversation with him, he asks questions and lets you finish talking before adding his own input, and he doesnā€™t break eye contact. It feels like heā€™s really listening to what youā€™re saying, and itā€™s almost freeing to have someone in your corner, someone you can trust and depend on.
What feels like far too soon, though has probably been several hours due to how dark it is outside, the man behind the counter comes to your table to tell you that theyā€™re closing soon, and you canā€™t help but be sad. Youā€™re enjoying Jamesā€™ company far more than you probably should since youā€™ve only known him for a handful of days. It almost seems like youā€™ve known him your whole life.
ā€œWell, bunny. I guess itā€™s time to go,ā€ James says remorsefully, getting up out of the booth and reaching out his hand to help you out of the booth as well. He keeps holding your hand while you walk out of the door ā€” making sure to throw away your trash on the way out.
James insists on opening the car door for you again ā€” ever the gentleman. Thereā€™s a comfortable silence on the drive back to your apartment, your stomach swirling the entire time because James refuses to drop your hand. But when you get to your apartment building, a small amount of anxiety settles inside you, and youā€™re desperately hoping your roommates are asleep because you donā€™t feel like dealing with them after youā€™ve had such a good evening.
The silence is a little more tense while you ride the elevator up to your floor, but youā€™re grounded by Jamesā€™ touch. Itā€™s not until you get to your front door that you really look at him, staring into his twinkling eyes. And when he smiles, it settles your nerves.
ā€œI guess this is the end of our night, bunny,ā€ He says, squeezing your hand one last time before dropping it. Before you can mourn the loss of his touch heā€™s wrapping you in his arms and pulling you close to his chest, and you desperately hope he doesnā€™t hear the squeak you let out. You wrap your arms around his waist, letting James tuck your face into his neck while he holds you close.
ā€œI had a wonderful time tonight,ā€ James murmurs, pressing a lingering kiss on your forehead.
ā€œMe too,ā€ You say softly, breathing in and inhaling his comforting scent. ā€œThank you for cheering me up.ā€
ā€œOf course, bunny. Iā€™m always here for you.ā€ Then, James pulls his head back so he can look into your eyes. ā€œAlways.ā€
You canā€™t help but smile. His gaze is hypnotizing, pulling you in and almost refusing to let you go.
ā€œThank you, James,ā€ You breathe out, and one last time, James squeezes you and kisses your forehead, then steps back.
ā€œIā€™ll talk to you soon, bunny?ā€ James asks, smiling wide.
ā€œYā€“Yeah, Iā€™ll text you. Or you can text me. Or call, thatā€™sā€“thatā€™s fine too.ā€ Heat floods your face in embarrassment, but you donā€™t feel too bad about it because James only smiles wider, nodding once.
ā€œI will.ā€
ā€œGoodnight, James.ā€ With that, you turn and unlock your door, turning around to look at James one last time as you shut the door.
ā€œGoodnight bunny, I hope you have dreams as sweet as you are.ā€ James winks, and you swear you can hear him chuckle when you squeak out an ā€œo-okay,ā€ and shut the door.
And maybe James is some kind of wizard because you have the best night of sleep youā€™ve had in a while.
Tumblr media
For the next few weeks you and James text almost every day, and talk on the phone every couple of days. Youā€™ve met up with him a few times as well, accepting his invitations to lunch or coffee. Each outing would last for several hours, too enraptured by hisā€¦ everything to be the one to suggest the night should end. Youā€™ve come to trust him, you know with a possibly concerning amount of certainty that James would do everything possible to keep you happy and safe.
Roughly a month and a half after meeting James, youā€™re sitting on your bed in the same position you were in when you first called him crying. Unlike last time, though, you donā€™t hesitate to call him. Heā€™s told you time and time again that it doesnā€™t even matter if heā€™s in a meeting, heā€™ll always make time for you. You just hope thatā€™s true.
He picks up almost immediately.
ā€œHello, bunny,ā€ James says with the same soft tone he always uses when talking to you.
ā€œH-hi, James,ā€ You manage to say, before breaking out into sobs. Youā€™re nearly hyperventilating, trying and failing to catch your breath between hiccups, and it takes a few minutes to calm down enough to hear rustling in the background on Jamesā€™ end.
ā€œAre you at home?ā€ He asks with the utmost concern.
ā€œYe-Yes.ā€
ā€œStay there,ā€ He says, using what youā€™ve deemed his CEO voice. ā€œIā€™m coming to get you.ā€
ā€œJaā€“ā€
ā€œBunny.ā€
You sigh, knowing you canā€™t change his mind ā€“ not that you really want him to. You could really benefit from a hug right about now and James always provides the best ones.
ā€œCan you at least stay on the phone with me?ā€ Your voice is small, still sniffling every few words. You donā€™t think you could handle being alone with your own thoughts right now.
ā€œOf course. You know Iā€™ll do anything for you.ā€
It takes James twenty minutes to get to you, and he talks to you the whole time, just menial things to get your mind off of your sadness. When he lets you know that heā€™s at your apartment, you donā€™t even wait for him to tell you heā€™s coming up, you simply grab your jacket and slip on your shoes, then run to the front door without so much as a word to your roommates in the living room.
ā€œJames!ā€ Upon seeing the man himself standing next to his car, you fling yourself into his arms, taking deep breaths to prevent yourself from crying in public. ā€œThank you for coming.ā€
ā€œBunny, how many times do I have to tell you that Iā€™ll do whatever it takes to keep a smile on your pretty face?ā€ Jamesā€™ tone is teasing, but you know heā€™s serious if his stern and concerned gaze is anything to go by.
You nod, blinking back tears. Itā€™s so nice to have a friend like James Barnes; kind, chivalrous, attentive. With the way he acts sometimes, youā€™d almost think heā€™s interested in more than friendship, but you always shake that thought off. Heā€™s too handsome and wealthy to date some random personal assistant whoā€™s barely able to make her rent.
ā€œCome on, bunny,ā€ James moves back but keeps an arm wrapped around your waist, leading you to his car and helping you in. Like always, he waits for you to sit so he can strap you in your seatbelt, pressing a quick kiss to your forehead before shutting the door then running around to the driver's seat.
This time, instead of taking a left at the light at the end of your block, he keeps going forward, taking turns until youā€™re not exactly sure where you are.
ā€œUm, where are we going?ā€
ā€œMy house,ā€ James says casually, briefly glancing at you so he can give you that ever-soft smile.
ā€œBut, isnā€™t your house only twenty minutes away?ā€ Youā€™re confused, and a little curious as to what heā€™s talking about.
ā€œI only stay there when I have meetings in the city. I have a house a little further out where I live most of the time. Itā€™s a little more lived-in, so I want to bring you there where youā€™ll feel a little moreā€¦ā€ James pauses for a moment, glancing at you again. ā€œAt home.ā€ His explanation makes sense in your brain, quickly squashing any nerves that you had. Heā€™s rich, so of course heā€™d have multiple houses.
Itā€™s almost an hour long drive to get to his house. Well, house feels like an inappropriate term for what it actually is. Itā€™s more like a mansion, standing tall at three stories, a long driveway with trees lining either side of the road, and a luscious garden surrounding the property.
James helps you out of the car and guides you up the steps to the front door, where he unlocks it and lets you step inside. The moment you pass through the threshold your jaw nearly drops to the floor; a large chandelier hangs from the ceiling right when you step in and beautiful artwork adorns the walls. The open floor plan gives you a good view of the living room and kitchen from your vantage point, and you canā€™t wait to sink into the luxurious and almost comically large couch in front of the TV.
ā€œCan I get you anything to drink?ā€ James urges you further in, bringing you to the living room.
ā€œUm, just water is fine.ā€ You look up at him, smiling shyly and nearly tripping when he smiles back.
ā€œIā€™ll be right back,ā€ James says, watching as you sit and sink into the plush couch. ā€œMake yourself at home.ā€ The look in his eyes when he says it sparks something inside you, something warm and fuzzy. Thinking of Jamesā€™ house as your home makes your tummy flutter, but you donā€™t understand why.
God, you need to get it together.
Youā€™re left alone for a moment, and everything is quiet except for the fridge opening and the glasses clinking. Jamesā€™ absence allows you a moment to breathe properly, being with him always leaves you flustered, though you canā€™t deny that some part of you likes it. You like his commanding nature, how deep his voice gets when he talks passionately about something, how warm his embrace is when he holds you for what might be a little too long, squeezing you like he doesnā€™t want to let you go.
ā€œHere you go, bunny.ā€ Suddenly, a glass of water appears in front of you, and you take it with a gracious smile and a small ā€œthank you.ā€
ā€œSo,ā€ He says, sitting next to you ā€” really close ā€” and throwing his arm over your shoulders, practically pulling you into his lap. ā€œDo you want to tell me whatā€™s wrong?ā€
Tears immediately spring to your eyes, suddenly remembering how horrible today was. You force yourself to take a couple of sips of your glass but your hand starts shaking enough to where James takes your glass and sets it on the coffee table in front of you.
ā€œBunnyā€”ā€œ
His soft voice causes you to start crying, throwing yourself into his chest and burying your face in his neck as you sob out your troubles. Jamesā€™ hand is warm on your back, rubbing it soothingly and squeezing you close to him. This time, he actually pulls you in his lap, youā€™re grasping the front of his sweater while he maneuvers your body so youā€™re straddling his thighs, and you canā€™t help but scoot closer so youā€™re sitting on him properly with your body flush against his.
A few minutes of crying later and your tears have finally slowed, your sobs deforming into hiccups until you calm down enough to hear James cooing into your ear, whispering sweet nothings. When you finally catch your breath, you pull back, staring up at James with wide eyes and a pout.
ā€œI-Iā€¦ I was fired! Fired! And I donā€™t know what Iā€™m going to do! Mr. Walker just tossed me to the side because a document went missing and he blamed me, and now Iā€™m jobless and my roommates are definitely going to kick me out because I can barely make my rent as it is. What am I going to do?ā€
James sighs, rubbing one hand up and down your back and keeping his other on your waist, though they manage to sneak up your shirt a little without your notice.
ā€œIā€™m sorry, bunny,ā€ He starts, giving you a comforting smile. ā€œItā€™s awful that happened to you, and itā€™s not your fault, so donā€™t go blaming yourself like I know you want to.ā€
Your face goes warm with embarrassment. How is he able to read you so easily?
ā€œAnd as far as your living situation, youā€™ll move in with me.ā€
ā€œJames!ā€ Your eyebrows furrow, your head automatically shaking. ā€œNo, no I canā€™t do that to you. I donā€™t have a job anymore and I definitely canā€™t afford to pay you rent, I-I canā€™t burden you like that.ā€ Even though it hurts to say it, you want to be honest with him. Because how on Earth are you supposed to pay him back for this?
ā€œYouā€™re not a burden.ā€ Youā€™re surprised by his angry tone, and his eyes darken as though heā€™s challenging you to say otherwise. ā€œYouā€™ll never be a burden on me, bunny. Iā€™m offering you this, I donā€™t want you to pay me.ā€
As though he can sense your hesitation, he gives you a playful smirk.
ā€œBut if you really want to help, how about you do the cooking and cleaning? I donā€™t always get a good home-cooked meal, and itā€™d be nice to come back from work to see you in a cute little apron.ā€
This makes you giggle, a weight lifting off your shoulders when you nod timidly. ā€œI-I can do that. Iā€™ll do anything.ā€
And while you had pure intentions with that statement, James takes it differently, his eyes darkening even further as he nibbles at his bottom lip.
ā€œAnything?ā€ He smirks wider when you nod eagerly because thatā€™s what you are. Always eager to please ā€” especially please James.
ā€œYes, anything!ā€
James hums, seemingly thinking something over, before sliding one of his hands up the back of your shirt.
ā€œHow about you give me a kiss? I havenā€™t had a good one in a while,ā€ While he sounds like heā€™s teasing, his face shows heā€™s anything but.
He really wants you to kiss him. And, well, itā€™s not like youā€™re going to deny him, youā€™re too grateful for his generosity. Plus, youā€™d be insane to pass up such an opportunity, heā€™s handsome, kind, and makes you feel safe. So, with only a little hesitation, you lean down and press your lips against his in a simple peck, but before you can pull away James groans, placing one hand on the back of your head to keep you steady.
His lips practically attack yours, his tongue invading your mouth and taking what it wants ā€“ you. You donā€™t even know it but youā€™re whimpering almost immediately, opening your mouth and letting James consume you whole. Heā€™s smiling against your lips, biting your bottom lip as he retreats for a moment so he can stare up into your eyes.
ā€œYouā€™re so beautiful, bunny,ā€ James whispers reverently like heā€™s hypnotized. And heā€™s not the only one. Your brain is quickly going silent, your sole focus is on James and how good heā€™s making you feel.
ā€œReally?ā€
ā€œSo beautiful, Iā€™ve always thought so.ā€ His confession makes you whine, he thinks youā€™re beautiful, this gorgeous man with the deepest blue eyes youā€™ve ever seen. Suddenly, James curses softly, grabbing your waist under your shirt, and thatā€™s when you realize youā€™ve started subconsciously moving your hips against his.
ā€œS-Sorry,ā€ You mumble, though youā€™re not too sorry considering you canā€™t stop rolling down onto his lap, it feels too good.
ā€œDonā€™t be.ā€ James hums thoughtfully, leaning forward slightly and wrapping his arms around your waist. ā€œWhy donā€™t we go to my room? Itā€™ll be more comfortable.ā€
You donā€™t even wait for him to finish before you start eagerly nodding your head, adjusting your legs as he stands so you can wrap them around his waist. He carries you to his room, smirking to himself the entire time because you canā€™t stop kissing and biting his neck in the hopes of leaving a mark, staking your claim. When you finally get there, James quickly shuts the door behind him and then drops you down onto the bed.
ā€œSir,ā€ You whine when he doesnā€™t do anything, heā€™s only standing at the end of the bed, staring at you with eyes so dark with lust that you canā€™t see the blue of them.
ā€œDonā€™t worry, bunny, Iā€™ll take good care of you.ā€ With that, he swiftly strips his shirt off and tosses it to the side, then undoes the button on his pants, slowly dragging down the zipper with a wide smirk at the haze in your eyes. ā€œDo you want to help me?ā€
It takes a few moments for you to understand what heā€™s asking of you, but once you do you push yourself up, shuffling over to him until youā€™re sitting with your legs underneath your butt. For a moment youā€™re not sure what to do, you reach out for his pants but freeze mid-air because you just now realize that you donā€™t know what the fuck youā€™re doing. Youā€™ve never been in this situation before, your sexual exploits consist of goodnight kisses on the few dates youā€™ve been on, and your vibrator in your nightstand that has been working overtime ever since you met James.
ā€œI-Iā€™m sorry,ā€ You murmur, embarrassment flooding your features.
ā€œWhy are you sorry, bunny?ā€ Jamesā€™ voice is soft, soothing your worries.
ā€œIā€¦ I donā€™t know what Iā€™m doing. Iā€™ve neverā€¦ been with a man before.ā€ Your hands fall to your lap at the same time you hang your head. What if you disappoint him? You donā€™t know what youā€™re doing and youā€™d hate to mess anything up.
ā€œI know, bunny. Itā€™s okay.ā€ James lifts your chin with his fore and middle fingers, guiding you to look at him again. ā€œIā€™ll teach you everything.ā€ His voice dips lower, his bottom lip getting trapped between his teeth when you smile, relieved.
ā€œNow, Iā€™m going to take off my pants, but I want you to take off my boxers. Okay?ā€
ā€œYes, sir,ā€ You say quickly, eyes dropping to his crotch as he begins pulling the denim down, down, down until it pools on the floor. He steps out of them, then steps in front of you with his arms hanging by his side. When he raises his eyebrow, nodding to his underwear, you reach out for him again, this time with only a small amount of hesitation. Your nerves are nearly off the charts, but knowing that James is going to guide you makes you feel better.
Your hands are shaking slightly when you pull them down, and absolutely no one can fault you for the loud gasp you let out when heā€™s finally bare because holy shit. Despite being relatively anxious and naive surrounding sex, youā€™ve watched your fair share of porn, and while the men in them did usually have big dicks, they seem small compared to Jamesā€™.
Youā€™re almost frightened, how the hell is that going to fit inside you? James chuckles, and you realize you probably said that aloud.
ā€œDonā€™t worry, bunny. Iā€™ll make it fit,ā€ James groans, reaching down to grab the bottom of your shirt. ā€œIā€™m going to take this off now, okay?ā€ He tugs it up and over your head once you give your consent, tossing it to the side and cursing when he sees the light pink bra barely covering your breasts. James is biting his lip so hard youā€™re worried he might draw blood, but you donā€™t pay it any mind because heā€™s soon urging you to lay on your back with your legs dangling over the edge.
ā€œGonna take these off too.ā€
Giving him a shy smile and a nod, he hooks his fingers in the waistband of your sweatpants, glancing up at you one final time to make sure youā€™re okay before he surprises you by pulling them off of your legs in one swift movement. Youā€™re tugged down the bed a little, a shocked gasp leaving your lips.
ā€œFucking angelic,ā€ James murmurs, dropping to his knees and placing his large, rough hands on your knees. He smirks when he sees your matching light pink panties, already soaking wet at the crotch. You have to bite your lip to keep from whimpering when he pushes your legs wide apart, but you canā€™t stop yourself from squirming when he doesnā€™t do anything else.
ā€œJames,ā€ You whine, high-pitched and needy.
ā€œSir,ā€ He reminds you with a raised eyebrow as though heā€™s daring you to say his real name again. And just for good measure, he surprises you by lifting up one of his hands and swinging it down onto your clothed pussy in a harsh swat, causing you to let out a loud moan.
ā€œSir! I-Iā€™m sorry, sir.ā€
ā€œItā€™s okay, little bunny,ā€ James coos as he runs his hands up the back of your thighs so he can push them up and out, letting him get a good look at where you need him most. ā€œAre you going to let me eat your pretty pussy?ā€
Even though itā€™s phrased as a question, you know James isnā€™t going to take ā€˜noā€™ for an answer. Itā€™s not like you even want to tell him ā€˜noā€™, youā€™re too desperate for something, anything.
ā€œY-Yes, sir. Please.ā€ Your begging makes him groan, and he quickly dips forward so heā€™s not even an inch away from your core, inhaling deeply and cursing again.
With a quick kiss to your covered clit, he twists his fingers into the band of your panties and rips them into pieces, and you know youā€™ll have marks from it. But you want them, you want evidence of this night, and youā€™ll gladly take anything he gives you. And no sooner than your panties off do James dive in, inhaling once more before his tongue sneaks out and licks a long stripe from your hole to your clit.
Itā€™s at that point that you know youā€™re well and truly fucked, because thereā€™s no way youā€™re not going to become addicted to the feeling of his tongue dipping into your quivering hole, the way he wraps his lips around your clit and sucks it into his mouth, the way he groans into your pussy like thereā€™s nowhere else heā€™d rather be.
And it doesnā€™t take long for your legs to start shaking, desperately trying to close around Jamesā€™ head but not being able to due to his hands gripping your thighs and holding them still. The filthy groans he lets out are enough to make you cum alone, but then he attaches his lips to your clit again and gently bites down, forcing an obscene moan out of your mouth.
He lets you get used to the pleasure, switching between fucking his tongue deep inside you and flicking at your clit, and only when he decides youā€™re ready does he manage to slide his forefinger in your pussy all the way to the third knuckle.
ā€œSir!ā€ You canā€™t help but yell. Yes, it stings, but itā€™s far outweighed by the pleasure of his tongue assaulting your pulsating nub.
He wastes no time in slowly sliding it in and out, wiggling it around until you whine loudly, letting him know heā€™s found that special spot. Youā€™re too out of it to realize it but James is smiling, clearly smug at how heā€™s making you react. You wouldnā€™t care anyway, in fact, he deserves it. Heā€™s making you feel too good, especially when he slips in his middle finger and spreads them.
ā€œOh god! Yes, fuck. Sir, yes,ā€ Youā€™re incoherent, blabbering nonsense because your brain is too foggy to form a coherent thought. James picks up the pace, wrapping his lips around your clit and sucking it as he thrusts his fingers directly at your g-spot.
ā€œSir! Sir, I-Iā€™mā€¦ā€ As soon as he started, he stopped, pulling out his fingers and leaning back slightly with a wide grin. His chin is coated in your juices, and the gleam in his eyes shows you that youā€™re not going to be able to cum so easily.
ā€œNot yet, bunny,ā€ James says when you whine pathetically, trying to buck your hips up into his mouth but unable to do so because of his commanding grip now holding your waist. ā€œIā€™m not letting you cum until Iā€™m inside you.ā€
James then climbs onto the bed, guiding you upwards to lay your head against the plush pillows so he can lean over your body. With little preamble, he snakes his arms around your back to quickly unclasp your bra and allow your breasts to spill free.
ā€œI canā€™t wait to watch these bounce,ā€ James groans, palming one of them, twisting and pinching at your nipple. James just laughs when you hiss, because your soaked pussy is enough to tell him that youā€™re loving what heā€™s doing.Ā 
ā€œBunny.ā€ He says gruffly, and your eyes shoot up to meet his, though you can hardly see him because your vision is hazy, nothing matters except James. ā€œAre you ready?ā€
Youā€™re barely able to mumble ā€˜yesā€™, but you manage to do so, and James takes that as his cue to grasp the base of his cock and position it at your entrance. He places his other hand on your neck, lightly squeezing the sides to keep your eyes locked on his.
The pressure against your hole is immense, James telling you to breathe as he slowly pushes deeper. He stops about halfway through, giving you a moment for the pain to fade. Heā€™s clearly having a hard time staying still but is cognizant enough to know youā€™re overwhelmed. It takes a few minutes of deep breathing before you finally nod, silently letting him know that he can move. And he does, pushing in all the way until his hips are flush with yours. Once again, he stills, leaning down to brush his lips over your cheeks and catch the tears spilling from the corners of your eyes.
ā€œH-Hurts, sir,ā€ You whimper out, forcing yourself to keep eye contact with him. And while your core is burning, James looks so damn proud that youā€™re taking him that it pushes away any discomfort.
ā€œDo you want me to stop?ā€
ā€œNo!ā€ Even though youā€™re in mild pain youā€™re pretty sure youā€™ll cry if he pulls out, you need everything he can give you. ā€œPlease, donā€™t stop.ā€
ā€œDonā€™t worry, bunny,ā€ James coos, then tightens his grip around your neck ever so slightly. ā€œIā€™ll give you what you need.ā€ And as though a switch was flipped, James pulls back, pausing for half a second before thrusting forward.
ā€œAhhh!ā€ Your mouth drops open as you scream, your arms coming up to claw at Jamesā€™ shoulders and back as he gives you all he has.
And he has a lot to give. He puts his back into fucking you, keeping one hand around your neck and using his other arm to pull your left leg over his shoulder. Sweat beads at your hairline, your eyes stinging with tears, your whole body lit on fire. At this moment, nothing matters except the delicious burn between your legs, the way your body is shoved further up the bed with each of Jamesā€™ powerful thrusts until it gets to the point where he has to place the hand around your leg on the headboard to steady you.
ā€œFuck, bunny, you feel so good. Youā€™re so good for me.ā€ James canā€™t stop mumbling praises, and even though you canā€™t really hear them, you feel them. Your eyes donā€™t move from his, even as he glances down to where your bodies are joined. ā€œFuck, little bunny. Your pussy looks so good stuffed full of my cock, knew youā€™d take me so well.ā€
ā€œS-Sir,ā€ You whimper, bucking your hips up to meet his thrusts and digging your nails into his skin. But James doesnā€™t seem to mind if the way his whole body shudders and his hips slightly lose their rhythm is anything to go by.
ā€œAre you gonna be a good little bunny and cum for me?ā€ James moves his gaze back up to your face, chuckling when he sees how fucked-out you already are. Despite his hand still around your neck you manage to nod, little cries and whines escaping into the air every time Jamesā€™ cock gets shoved against your cervix.
ā€œYeah, you are,ā€ James continues, leaning over your body even more and shifting so the tip of his dick hits your spot with every thrust. ā€œYouā€™re going to squirt all over my cock so I can cum deep in your cunt. Gonna cum in you every day, keep you full of me, maybe even plug you up to make sure it sticks.ā€
Youā€™re right there, your pleasure climbing higher and higher until youā€™re ready to fall off the edge. Jamesā€™s next sentence sends you there.
ā€œFuck, bunny. Youā€™re going to be the perfect little mommy to all the children Iā€™m gonna give you.ā€
When you wake up, James will tell you about how you came so hard that you blacked out, squirting and gushing around his cock while he continued telling you how even more beautiful youā€™ll be when youā€™re pregnant, taking care of him and his home, how he knew you were the one for him from the moment he first saw you. Your things will already be moved into his house. New clothes chosen specifically for you will be hung up in his closet and the bathroom will be adjusted to fit your products. The kitchen is going to be filled with all the food you like. And your cat will be curled up in a miniature hammock in her very own room.
When you wake up, youā€™ll see how much thought James put into redecorating his home just for you.
And youā€™ll be too grateful for his kindness to question where he put your birth control.

šœ—šœš THEME: angst (+ hints of fluff) šœ—šœš PAIRING: idol!wonwoo x fem!reader, established relationship šœ—šœš WORD COUNT: 1.9k
SYNOPSIS: fighting with you has to be one of wonwooā€™s biggest nightmares, so when you reset his game - will that be enough for him to finally lose his temper?
nataliaā€™s note: i know you canā€™t technically pause a game, so this is probably going to be big highly inaccurate, forgive me gamer people ://
Tumblr media
ā€œdid you touch my computer?ā€Ā 
uh-oh. no ā€œdarlingā€, no ā€œloveā€, not even a ā€œbabyā€. that couldnā€™t mean anything good.Ā 
you turned off the stove, and quickly wiped your hands. it was honestly amazing how the lack of your usual pet name made you spiral because why did your heart start beating so fast all of a sudden, butā€¦ did you touch your boyfriendā€™s computer today? you never had the reason to, itā€™s not like you shared his passion of gaming, so you never really touched it or did anything with it. even if you wanted to check something you always did it on your own computer or your phone.Ā 
ā€œyes, wonwoo?ā€ you asked slightly out of breath, peeking into your bedroom.Ā 
your boyfriend sat at his gaming chair with headphones covering one of his ears, his brows furrowed and lips pursed out, as he was typing something furiously on his new purple keyboard. ā€œi paused the game before i left for practice today,ā€ he said, and by his cold tone you figured you wouldnā€™t like what you were about to hear, ā€œand now itā€™s gone.ā€Ā 
he finally turned his head to look at you, and to be honest, youā€™d rather heā€™d turn back to the computer screen. wonwoo was never the one to pick fights with you, he always insisted on cooling down and spending some time apart to gather your thoughts so no one would end up hurt, and even during the biggest fights youā€™ve had in your relationship, youā€™ve never seen him so outwardly furious.Ā 
suddenly self-conscious, you wrapped your arms around yourself. ā€œi donā€™t know what happened. i didnā€™t touch anything.ā€ because you didnā€™t, you were certain of that. ā€œyou know i never use it anyway.ā€ sure, you cleaned today, you had your day off, and with wonwoo at work you didnā€™t have anything else to do, so you figured itā€™d be the perfect time to do some cleaning and dusting. but thereā€™s no way you reset his game, right?Ā 
ā€œmy keyboard is clean, so you had to do something with it,ā€ wonwoo said, his brows furrowing even more. you didnā€™t like the way his eyes seemed to darken, and you certainly didnā€™t like the tone of his voice. he wasnā€™t yelling at you, but then again he was always so soft spoken with you that you werenā€™t used to hearing him being so cold.Ā 
ā€œi was cleaning, but i didnā€™t press anything,ā€ you said quickly. ā€œi swear.ā€Ā 
ā€œyou mustā€™ve, because clearly the game had been reset,ā€ he scoffed. ā€œhow many times have i told you not to touch my computer when a game is on? is it seriously so hard to understand?ā€Ā 
you couldn't believe what you were actually hearing. wonwoo, your wonwoo was calling you dumb? ā€œit was an accident,ā€ you straightened your spine, and walked further into the room. ā€œi wanted to clean the keyboard for you since you have been complaining about it being dirty for days now. maybe if you werenā€™t so lazy you would've done that yourself,ā€ you loved him with all your heart but you wouldnā€™t let him disrespect you over something as stupid as a video game. ā€œi wanted to do something nice for you, and you know iā€™d never do anything to your game on purpose.ā€Ā 
for a second you thought heā€™d say something back, but instead he only shook his head, and covered his other ear with the headphone.Ā 
you couldnā€™t actually believe him.Ā Ā 
like an idiot, you stood in the middle of the room in disbelief. you didnā€™t know why he was so pissed about it, sure - you knew how much time he spent to get to the level he was on, but it was still just a game. besides, his behaviour was so unlike him, and it made everything so much worse.Ā 
ā€œhave fun playing your games, wonwoo,ā€ you said, though you werenā€™t sure if he heard you. not that you cared. you quickly gathered your things, and left his apartment. there was no way you'd stay there, and act as if nothing had happened.Ā 
after a couple of days of radio silence you werenā€™t sure what to do next.Ā 
itā€™s not like you would call him or text him or anything - it was his job to man up and apologise, but a part of you, the part that always cared for him no matter what, really wanted to check up on him, which you werenā€™t sure how you felt about. he was the one to make you feel like the smallest person on earth, he was the one to make you feel like you did something wrong, so why did you feel responsible for checking up on how he was doing?Ā 
you didnā€™t want to make any excuses for wonwoo, that didnā€™t feel right, butā€¦ you really wanted to talk this out. you had never gotten in a fight where you spent so much time apart - even when you fought when he was on tour you still managed to make up rather quickly.Ā 
and soon you started noticing the small things you were starting to miss. his glasses laying around the apartment, and him running around trying to find them before work. his arms wrapped around your waist as youā€™d be cooking dinner. his featherlight kisses heā€™d place on your forehead after coming home late thinking you were already asleep.Ā 
for someone who insisted that fighting with you had to be one of his biggest nightmares, he was being really stubborn.Ā 
you sighed and waddled over to your kitchen to make something to eat. after your fight you really lost your appetite, but you knew you shouldnā€™t treat yourself so harshly after what happened. to be honest you generally lost the motivation to do anything.
just when you managed to put the pan on the stove you heard a loud knock. the sun had already set, and you felt more than ready to call it an early night after dinner, nor did you expect anyone to come over. ā€œyes?ā€ you opened the door a bit hesitant. a small part of you was hoping itā€™d be the person you were really starting to miss at this point, but to your disappointment it was a delivery guy, the last person youā€™d expect to pop up at your front door.Ā 
ā€œi didnā€™t order anything,ā€ you said, frowning. your first thought was that it simply had to be a mistake, but then you noticed that the bag the guy was holding was from one of your favourite chinese places. well, whoever ordered it had a great taste.Ā 
ā€œis this your address?ā€ he asked and showed you his phone with yes - your exact address.Ā 
he did not just order you takeout.Ā 
ā€œwho was this ordered by?ā€ you asked immediately.Ā 
ā€œum, let me check,ā€ he muttered, ā€œjeon wonwoo.ā€Ā 
you thanked the guy, and took the bag from him.Ā 
and it didnā€™t stop there.Ā 
for the next couple of days you were greeted with a delivery guy at your door at the exact time you usually ate your dinner. you always thanked them and took the takeout because free food is free food, and if this was wonwooā€™s way of being stubborn then so be it - you wouldnā€™t let the food go to waste just to be petty.Ā 
but you wouldnā€™t lie - anytime you were greeted by the amazing smell of your favourite food your heart beat a bit faster. wonwoo has always always been a man of silent acts of service, and it never failed to make you feel loved, even now when you were fighting.
the day after the city had been struck by a storm. it was bad, the rain was pouring for the whole day, and you could hear the thunder constantly rumbling in the distance. thankfully you didnā€™t have to go out that day, but it made you miss wonwoo even more. you always used to cuddle on days like these if he was fortunate enough to have some time off.Ā 
when you got the weverse notification you picked up your phone, and clicked on the app immediately, a reflex you picked up early in your relationship, and read the message your boyfriend posted.Ā 
make sure to bring an umbrella with you today. and if youā€™re going to drive, be carefulĀ Ā 
you didnā€™t have to think twice to know he wrote this thinking about you. anytime it rained, even if it was a drizzle, he turned into a worried mum, and nagged you about being careful and bringing an umbrella with you, as if he didnā€™t put it in your bag before leaving for the schedules for you.Ā 
after a week and a half after you stormed out of wonwooā€™s apartment you were starting to settle into your little routine of coming back to an empty home, getting the takeout, and eating it alone in your bedroom, where you could feel your boyfriendā€™s presence more than anywhere else in the house. if you were feeling extra sappy that day you wore one of his hoodies to make yourself feel even more miserable.Ā 
but something changed that week.Ā 
you just closed the door with another takeout when you got the message you were waiting for all of those lonely nights.Ā 
can we talk?Ā  please
maybe you shouldā€™ve been more stubborn, and ignored his message. maybe you were wrong for typing out a ā€œyesā€, but you didnā€™t care. it didnā€™t mean youā€™d forgive him, you were still very much angry at him, but you needed to see him. needed to see if he was okay.Ā 
iā€™ll come by after work tomorrowĀ  eat wellĀ 
you smiled at your phone with teary eyes as you noticed one more thing you were missing. his stupid ā€œthumbs upā€ emoji he put in half of his texts.Ā 
you werenā€™t sure what to expect the next evening. you didnā€™t know if youā€™d start yelling at him or if youā€™d start bawling your eyes out after seeing him after what felt like an eternity. what you were sure of was that you were nervous as hell, which was kind of ironic because you didnā€™t even feel that way before your first date.Ā 
this time when you heard the knock on your door you knew it wouldnā€™t be the delivery guy.Ā 
sort of.
ā€œi brought food,ā€ wonwoo said, as if that was what mattered to you.Ā 
he looked bad. the dark purple circles under his eyes. the slumped wide shoulders. the cheekbones more prominent than ever. tearing your soul apart would hurt less than seeing him like this.Ā 
ā€œwill youā€¦,ā€ he took a shaky inhale, looking at you from behind his glasses. you had to resist the urge to grab his face and adjust them, as they were sitting crookedly on his nose as usual. ā€œwill you let me apologise?ā€Ā 
ā€œthatā€™s all iā€™ve been waiting for you dumbass,ā€ you sighed, and grabbed his hand to pull him inside your apartment.Ā 
even though you didn't know how this night would end, whether you would be able to forgive him today, or if you would need more time for everything to go back to normal, you were glad to have wonwoo by your side. you were convinced that the fight happened for a reason, whatever it may have been, but despite everything, you were happy that you could go through it with him.

Song inspo: E.V.O.L- MARINA
Part I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. IX. X. XI. XII. XIII. (completed!)
Tumblr media
Rule no. 1: Don't show fear
It was a mistake. A comical, nonsensical, monumental mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. You didnā€™t mean to create aĀ soul tieĀ with aĀ demonĀ . All you did was read a torn up book from the library. Was it an occult book about spiritual practices in the Japanese Heian era? Yesā€¦ but it doesnā€™t warrant an eldritch horror being your life partner.Ā 
Actually, according to the demon, you didnā€™t create the soul tie, he has been waiting for you all his life. Cute, but it didnā€™t make the situation any better. Damn your natural inclination to catch the old and withered items thrown into the donation boxes of the library you worked at. It just pained your heart to see pages falling out of books, and the ominous leather bound grimoire was no exception.Ā 
Restoration was one of your favorite things to do. Knowledge is always worth saving, no matter how old it may be. Books were your life. You found yourself lost in them, enchanted, terrified, taught. You had no genre as your favorite. Everything was welcomed, nothing was off limits. You knew a little bit of every culture, every study, every block buster fantasy. If you could, youā€™d build a machine that would let you live inside of a book and experience the scene yourself.Ā 
Technically you could ask your all powerful demon to do that, but you didnā€™t want to deal with him right now.
You still werenā€™t all too sure on how it happened. First you were glueing the pages back to the spine of the book, running your fingers over the deckled edges when you opened a page that was stuck together. You carefully peeled it apart, a task that took ten minutes to do to avoid any additional tears, and opened up to a page that was different from the rest. The words were written in a rush, the strokes of the characters dragging much longer than it should. You only knew a tiny bit of Japanese (but much more of Latin, Russian, Yoruba, and French from having just an abundance of time on your hands), but this time you could make out some of the words.Ā 
You muttered the ones you knew for sure, used context clues for the ones that were beyond reading. It didnā€™t make a lick of sense to you. You closed the book with a clamp so that the glue would set and decided to come back to it tomorrow since it was closing time. There was no rush of wind, flash of lightning, or eerie sounds. Just you and the screech of a thousand cicadas as soon as you stepped outside to walk to your car. A normal Thursday night.
Until it wasnā€™t.Ā 
You shuffled around your house with a new arc from your favorite novelist in one hand, a glass of wine in the other, and the largest frame of glasses known to man perched on your nose. Jazz music quietly spilled out from your hidden speakers, preventing the house from getting a littleĀ tooĀ quiet as you lived alone with your cat. It was a total boring cliche, you were well aware, but you were happy with your life. You had friends who you trusted, a great relationship with your parents, and just recently got out of a relationship with someone who you didnā€™t hate, you just grew apart. There was no chaotic, negative energy to feast on in your household and you liked it that way.Ā 
You thought you heard your cat clawing on the door when you were snuggled away in your bed. You flipped the covers over and went to let her in to snuggle with you.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m so sorry, Cleo. I thought you were already in here with me,ā€ you said, scooping her up from the floor. The ragdoll cat begrudgingly accepted your kisses of apology. You set her down on the bed, watching her find a good spot to curl up in and smiled. You went to reach for your wine glass you knew that you set on your nightstand, but there was nothing in the glass. You were sure that you didnā€™t finish it. You paced yourself well enough for it to last until at least chapter five, but there wasnā€™t a drop of alcohol left.Ā 
ā€œThe quality of sake has diminished over the years, I see.ā€Ā 
The voice came from all around the room but also deep in your chest. Cleo hissed, making a run for it out of your door, leaving you wildly spinning around for the intruder. You lunged for the heavy duty taser you kept in your nightstand, but when you turned around there was nobody there.
ā€œWhat is that?ā€Ā 
The bone chilling voice spoke again. Was it one person or many, you couldnā€™t tell.Ā 
ā€œIā€” I have a weapon!ā€ You tried to steady your voice but it was hopeless. You were terrified. There was nobody there but you could feel a heavy presence in the room.Ā 
ā€œYou call that a weapon?ā€ The voice laughed. ā€œThe only weapon my wife needs is me.ā€
The statement made you falter. ā€œWife? Who are you?ā€
You turned around once again and nearly jumped out of your skin. A man, or a close approximation of one, sat on your bed flicking through your book. It was impossible, but he had twice as many limbs on his top half than he should, and double the amount of eyes. They were bright and red when scanning through your novel. ā€œWhat language is this?ā€Ā 
ā€œF-french,ā€ you whispered. You were dreaming. You had to be. That was the only way this could be happening. Still, dream or not, you had to protect yourself. You pressed your taser and watched the prongs leap out and touch his bare skin. He looked unbothered, merely looking down at his stomach where the taser landed and moved his arm to reveal a mouth on his abdomen. A tongue flopped out and licked the prongs, dragging it back to the mouth and the taser was slowly dragged out of your hands and into the mouth. You watched in horror as the hard plastic was crushed to pieces in front of your very eyes.Ā 
ā€œUseless weapon,ā€ he reiterated, this time looking directly at you. ā€œDonā€™t insult me again.ā€Ā 
ā€œPlā€”please donā€™t hurt me.ā€ There was nothing left to do but beg. You already punched yourself till blood was drawn. This was not a dream, you were looking at a real, evil monster who didnā€™t know French and ate high voltage tasers.Ā 
He rose from your bed. You crawled away as much as you could until you bumped into a wall and still you wanted to move through it. He stood before you, looking over your trembling frame and called out for you.Ā 
ā€œRise.ā€Ā 
You rose, unsure if you really had a choice in the matter. One of his many hands cupped the side of your face. A clawed thumb brushed away the tear that fell on your cheek.
ā€œWhy do you weep?ā€
ā€œUmā€¦ wellā€¦ I donā€™t really know who you are,ā€ you said honestly. You were still pinned to the wall, unable to flee and he took up your entire frame of sight. He nodded, removing his hand from your face and raising it in the air. You thought he was going to strike you and you flinched. When you opened your eyes again he was multiple steps away from you, still raising his palm.
ā€œTime has faded your memory of me. You are my wife, and I am your husband. The string of fate proves that we are mates.ā€Ā 
He stated it so matter of factly.Ā You are my wife, and I am your husband.Ā My wife, your husband. Mates.Ā Forget dreaming, you have officially lost your mind.Ā 
ā€œI donā€™tā€¦ remember agreeing to that,ā€ you said carefully. The words ā€œhusbandā€ and ā€œwifeā€ bounced in your head in a crazy echo. You slumped to the floor, your body suddenly very tired. A laugh bubbled up your throat and escaped your mouth. So much for your boring life.
ā€œDo you not feel the connection? The string is tied from my last finger to yours.ā€ You looked at your hand, not seeing any supposed string and shook your head.Ā 
He frowned. ā€œYou do notĀ agreeĀ to it. It has been decided.ā€ He crouched in front of you, inspecting your face earnestly. One side of his face was strange, not normal skin, instead inhuman, bumpy and shades darker.Ā 
ā€œYou look the same after all this time,ā€ he murmured. ā€œI will make you remember.ā€Ā 
ā€œLetā€™s not do that,ā€ you said quickly. ā€œI donā€™t even know your name and I amĀ notĀ married. Iā€™m a librarian and I have a cat. And I have never,Ā everĀ met you before.ā€
ā€œI am known as Sukuna, among other names,ā€ he responded to one of your distresses. ā€œWhat title is a librarian?ā€
This time you laughed. An deranged laugh, loud and unbecoming. Sukuna waited as impatiently as he could for you to be finished, but you kept on cackling. Once out of breath, you wiped the tears out of your eyes and leaned against the wall. It finally dawned on you how this happened. The drying grimoire that was locked up in the library was responsible for this strange turn of events.
ā€œItā€™s not a title, at least, not in the way youā€™re thinking. Itā€™s my job, one that I love very much. Was I ever a common worker before?ā€
Sukuna bristled at the thought. Even his tummy mouth frowned. ā€œYou were a queen. You wanted nothing because you had everything.ā€
ā€œInteresting,ā€ you mused. ā€œIā€™m so not your girl.ā€
ā€œIā€™m not interested in little girls.ā€
ā€œKudos to you. I think Iā€™m going to sleep now. Iā€™m clearly much more tired than I think I am.ā€
ā€œWe have things to discuss,ā€ Sukuna protested, but you already slipped under the sheets. If I force myself to sleep he will go away, you thought.Ā 
Instead you felt the dip of the other side of your bed and flung your eyes open. Sukuna was in bed, with you, staring your down with his four eyes. He was much too close for your liking.Ā 
You looked at him wildly. ā€œWhat are you doing?ā€Ā 
ā€œResting with you.ā€Ā 
ā€œGet out of my bed!ā€
ā€œAre you no longer tired?ā€Ā 
ā€œI am tired. Extremely tired, but that doesnā€™t mean I want you on my bed! Stay on the floor or something!ā€
Sukuna rolled his eyes at you and turned on his back, his arms crossed in two sets on his chest.Ā 
ā€œYou were always particular with your sleeping habits. I see that hasnā€™t changed either.ā€
ā€œStop acting like you know me!ā€
Sukuna got off the bed to sit on the floor like you asked. The only problem is that you could feel his gaze prickling your skin, making it impossible to ignore him. You didnā€™t feel bad about kicking him out, he certainly didnā€™t have a pout on his face because of it, but something needed to be done.Ā 
ā€œFace the door instead of me,ā€ you mumbled.Ā 
His eyes twitched. ā€œCommanding me like footmen,ā€ he grumbled, yet he still turned away. You wondered if his obedience had something to do with the book. Sukuna had the aura of someone who doesnā€™t listen to anyone, yet heā€™s been more than understanding with you. Maybe you really were his wife. Maybe you were having a very elaborate and maladaptive daydream. You thought of ā€œmaybeā€™sā€ until the sun came up, still staring at the back of his pink, spiky hair.Ā 
Your alarm chirped for you to get ready for work. You groaned. You didnā€™t get a second of sleep. You were too afraid of being eaten by the demon you accidentally summoned. You reached out to shut off the ringing clock as quietly as you could, but Sukuna touched it first.Ā 
ā€œHow strange,ā€ he said, turning the clock around in his hand. He brought it up to his ear, shook his head, tapped the glass. Then he crushed it. It was made of plastic, but the shards bent and broke to the floor left his hand unscratched. You gaped at the mess he made as he let the remains fall to the floor. ā€œIt was making a wretched sound.ā€
ā€œYeahā€¦ā€ you sighed. ā€œIt was pretty noisy.ā€
You had to find out how to get rid of him.Ā Fast.Ā

Whoā€™s the bad guy here, really?
(This is pretty rushed, but I completely forgot about this and didn't want to abandon it. Hope you like it)
Danny was tired.
It had been 3 months since he ran away from home and joined the leagueā€¦well technically he joined the JR league. Apparently, once the league realized he was actually a 15 year old, they decided that MAYBE they shouldn't have him fighting Bizarro on his own.
Danny didnā€™t get it, but they got him enrolled in school and made sure he wouldnā€™t miss too many classes so that was a bonus.
That was about a month ago and Danny was certain the main team was mad at him for lying about being a half ghost. He thought he made some real friends before they moved him to the Jr squad, but no one was answering him.
Any hero that DID answer him always gave the same excuse.
ā€œIā€™m sorry Danny, Iā€™d love to hang out but we have to deal with this new villain duo!ā€
Whatā€™s worse is that any enquiry about the so-called villains was greeted with nervous glances and swift retreats.
(Danny was sure there were no new villain, the team would have heard about them by now)
The team did their best to cheer him after every evasion, but it really wasn't helping.
He did this to himself, but that was fine. His family was safe and that's all that mattered.
Three months ago, the GIW launched an all out war against phantom in amity park. Anyone that was suspected of having anything to do with ghosts was taken in for questioning and wouldn't come back for days. They even started to get aggressive towards his parents after they started advocating for Phantom.
So Danny did the only thing he could.
He left, as publicly as possible, Danny ran away from the only home he had ever known to protect his family.
And now his friends had ditched him because he lied.
Danny felt like shit.
---------
"This is the third attack on a League base in 2 weeks." Batman said sternly to the heroes surrounding the table. He pressed a button.
A holograph appeared over the table depicting 2 Villains carrying large weapons, destroying everything in their wake. The 2 were incredibly resilient. The larger of the two was taking hits from wildcat and the smaller tossed canary across the room, completely ignoring her screams.
Both had been stationed at the outpost to guard against these exact 2 villains, and both were still recovering.
Their threat level was raised, now it was their turn to step in.
-------
Danny dragged himself out of bed as he got up early for training. He heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." He shouted as he put on his shirt.
Conner walked in, scowling as he saw some of the scars littering Danny's chest.
"You ready? We're training with Batman today."
Danny scoffed. "Ready? No. No one's ready for Batman, I am excited though.
The two headed towards the dining room to eat before training when suddenly the alarms blared. They rushed to the comm room, meeting up with M'gann on the way.
"What's going on?!" She asked, bracing herself as the base shook.
"No idea, whatever it is its not good."
As they rushed into the comm room they greeted by the sight of a woman fighting hand to hand with Batman. Superman was on the floor covered in green goop while a large man was getting ready to toss Green Arrow across the room.
The teens stood in shock. Though only one spoke.
Well, maybe spoke wasn't the right word.
"MOM?!?!? DAD?!?!" Danny yelled.
The man spun around suddenly, casually tossing green arrow across the room.
"DANNO!!! MADDIE ITS DANNY!!!"
The man raced over, only to be cut off by the Flash blocking his path.
"Danny, run! We'll hold them off, just get out of here!"
Danny stood there dumbfounded.
His dad on the other hand, wasn't.
"You stay away from my son you damn creep!" He shouted as the Flash charged him, somehow not noticing the man pull out...a baseball bat?
Danny winced as flash got hit with the Fenton anti-creep stick.
"Dad! Stop! They're my friends!" He tried to placate his dad.
"Friends don't convince you to run away from home to join a cult!" He then noticed the other two teens. "Holy Fudge! MADDIE THERES MORE KIDS!!!" He shouted as his wife held off the creep from Gotham.
"Dad! The League didn't make me leave! And it isn't a cult!"
This made the man pause.
"I left to protect you guys! The GIW was gonna come for you, so I led them away! I only joined the league so I could keep helping people!" Danny yelled.
The orange-clad man stopped, giving his son a sad look.
"It's not your job to protect us son, it's our job to protect you." He said picking his son up and wrapping him in a bear hug.
Conner just stood there confused as M'gann clapped and grinned out the outcome.
"Now can you tell mom to stop trying to mace Batman?" Danny asked when his dad put him down. The two turned to the fighting duo.
"Let's give them 5 more minutes. Your mom hasn't had this much fun since she ditched that cult in Asia."
(Feel free to take this idea and run with it. I like the idea that the fentons are a force of nature that defies explanation..but Maddie definitely stole their early ecto samples from the lazarus pit)

He's usually not like this.
Maybe it was the wine he had over dinner, the way being a little tipsy and still a little heated from all the talking and laughing he did with his friends earlier clouded his mind. Maybe itā€™s the loneliness of his empty bed on a Saturday night, fresh pillowcases and the half-light near his bed casting shadows on the sheets and making him wonder how they would look hitting your skin. Maybe he just misses you: your body, your smell, the way you feel in his hands and the way his hands feel on you.
At first, it was supposed to be just an innocent text, but his fingers worked over the keyboard a little faster than he could actually register. I wish you were here, the message read, the implications of sending it well after midnight, without any other kind of text and being sure you knew damn well he wouldn't skip getting a little alcohol having the following day completely off completely clear as he bit his bottom lip, smirking at his own antics. You probably wouldn't even see it ā€” chances are you're already fast asleep by that time ā€” but that doesn't stop him from thinking about it, about how much he wanted you.
And it was supposed to be an innocent video. He feels pretty relaxed as he lays his head down on one of his pillows, one hand resting lazily on his headboard as the other clicked on the little camera icon, just wanting to send you a little something to make you think about him in the morning. He's a little messy, but he doesn't mind it at the momentā€”his tank top a little too low on his chest, his hoodie covering most of his hair, his eyes still glistening a little from the tipsinessā€”he knows you like him like this. He didn't want to say anything, even, the message sent earlier already telling you everything he wants you to know. It's just a little bit of him showing off, knowing he won't be able to stop thinking about the heat of your body pressed up against him anytime soon. He's just looking at the camera, showing some little random things around himā€”like the little plush doll you always hold when you're lying on his bed, sometimes still half-naked, sometimes catching your breath after kissing him for God knows how long until you just kind of melt into the bed.
Ideally, he would stop there. He knows it's technically enough, and even though he does send a picture or two taken by the gym mirror occasionally after a long workout session thinking about how you look at his arms and chest when he's shirtless and how you actually called him after seeing one of these pictures asking him to come over, this is going a little further with it. The camera pans down, showing how the tank top is not only low on his torso but kind of messily draped over his belly, a little bit of his v-line and the rim of his ridiculously expensive underwear showing faintly over the low light, small shadows casting on his skin. His hands trail down his body, lightly touching the waistband of the sweatpants and going down until you can see the very prominent bulge in his pants. The sweats don't really hide much, and his size is very visible as he palms himself over the fabric, letting a breathy, almost whiny moan out of his mouth at the feeling.
And damn, he really wished you were there.

Could I request a Hugh Jackman x Reader (in the same universe you have set up with their 3 kids, I love that sm) Where the reader is pregnant with their first baby (Alex iirc) and they haven't told anyone, but there'a rumors, so the paparazzi swarm Hugh and Reader, trying to get a good picture of any supposed baby bump so they can break the news and Hugh gets super protective-
little secret | hugh jackman
an: thanks for the request!! we finally get some baby alex even if he technically isnā€™t born in this fic lol BUT OMG THIS GIF IM DEAD DYING GONE
Tumblr media
1999
When Hugh told you the news that he had gotten the part of Wolverine, you were so happy for him. In a few months, he would leave to go get fitted for his costume, train, film. You werenā€™t worried, but Hugh was.
You were pregnant with your first child and he obviously didnā€™t want to leave you alone. You assured him you and the baby would be fine. You had friends and family that called and visited you regularly so technically you werenā€™t alone.
After two months of being away from each other, you finally made a visit to the set. You were amazed with everything from the props to everyoneā€™s costumes. It wouldnā€™t take long for you to join the same hero universe, just with a different team.
Your bump was somewhat visible. Only your families and close friends knew. And now, of course, Hughā€™s new cast mates knew. Halle and Famke were so happy to finally meet you and your bump.
ā€œOh, you guys are going to be the best parents! Do you know the gender?ā€ Halle asked.
ā€œItā€™s a boy.ā€ You confirmed with a smile.
ā€œHis name is going to be Alex.ā€ Hugh added.
For a while, only a couple knew about baby Jackman. You werenā€™t taking any acting jobs at the moment and the media was starting to wonder. Did you retire? Or maybe it was a short break? You went from wearing your normal clothes to wearing Hughā€™s clothes or oversized sweaters. It didnā€™t take long for talk show hosts to start theorizing about your sudden change in wardrobe.
You didnā€™t pay attention to the media. You hardly did. It didnā€™t phase you until one day when you were out with Hugh on a walk in Los Angeles. It was a day off for him and a walk seemed like a good idea at the time. Both you and Hugh wore sunglasses. Since it was sunny out, you wore a flowy dress. Again, your bump was somewhat noticeable, but you didnā€™t think the paparazzi were going to shove cameras in your face. You just wanted a peaceful day with your husband.
ā€œWe shouldā€™ve stayed in bed.ā€ You whispered to Hugh. You were currently in a clothing store with Hugh. The paparazzi werenā€™t doing a very good job of hiding, they were waiting outside for you ready to capture pictures.
ā€œI would say letā€™s make a run for it but I donā€™t want you or Alex to get hurt.ā€ Hugh placed a kiss on your lips.
ā€œLetā€™s go home. Iā€™ll just put my bag over my stomach.ā€ You sighed. So much for having a peaceful day ā€¦
So after paying for your items, Hugh took your hand and made sure you were ready to face the flashing lights. He made sure you were ready before you headed out.
Immediately the flashing lights hurt your eyes. This was hell.
ā€œShow us the bump!ā€
ā€œIs it a girl? A boy?ā€
ā€œCan I get a picture of the bump?ā€
Hugh held you close to him. When it came time to protect you and the baby, he was ready to fight whoever got too close. Eventually you made it to the car. Hugh made sure to get you in first so he walked with you to your side and opened the door, letting you in quickly. Still the paparazzi followed. After shutting the door, Hugh warned the paparazzi to not get any closer.
ā€œJust show us the bump!ā€ A man said.
ā€œShut the fuck up!ā€ Hugh pushed past the paparazzi and walked to the driverā€™s side of the car. If it were legal, he wouldā€™ve definitely run someone over. ā€œYou alright, love?ā€
You nodded, taking a deep breath in. ā€œYou think weā€™ll make the cover? I think ā€˜baby on board!ā€™ is going to be the headline.ā€ You joked, cracking a smile.

More Important (Greg House x gn reader x James Wilson)
Summary: you not feeling well is far more important than work in your boyfriends' eyes
Tumblr media
Warnings: the reader is sick/doesn't feel good but it isn't specified the reason why so it's pretty much up for interpretation, House and Wilson are both loving and worried boyfriends, kind of hurt/comfort given the themes, brief and mild swearing, they/them pronouns are used to refer to the reader one (1) time in a gender neutral manner
A/N: I felt awful when I woke up the other day and when I went back to sleep I had a dream with House and Wilson that ended up inspiring this fic
Tumblr media
When you woke up that morning, every muscle in your body ached as if someone had dropped a sack of bricks on you while you slept. As much as you wanted to just stay in bed, you unfortunately had to get up to use the bathroom.
House was still asleep next to you, letting out the occasional peaceful snore despite the time indicating he'd be late for work if he didn't wake up soon. Not that he cared.
Wilson was already up and ready, from what you could tell. That assumption was later confirmed when you stumbled to the bathroom, the sight before you making it seem as though your boyfriend was being serenaded by the sound of the blow dryer as he fixed his hair.
"Are you almost done? I need the bathroom," you mumbled groggily, leaning up against the side of the doorframe while you waited for him to finish.
"Well, good morning to you, too," He responded in a voice that was far too chipper for your taste given how early it was. "And yeah, almost." He shut off the blow dryer and turned to face you, his big brown eyes studying you with a slight look of concern. Being a doctor, of course he could recognize when something was physically wrong.
"Are you okay?" He tentatively asked, trying to approach the subject in a delicate manner. After all the time he'd spent with House he knew not everyone wanted to talk about their feelings or even admit when something was wrong.
"Yeah, 'm fine. Jus' have a slight headache." Technically it wasn't a full lie, as your head did hurt, but you were greatly underexaggerating the pain level in hopes he wouldn't worry.
Big mistake. Almost as soon as you shut the bathroom door did Wilson turn and head towards the bedroom with the full intent of waking up your other boyfriend.
By the time you were done, both House and Wilson were standing close together, presumably discussing your supposed symptoms, even if you couldn't hear what they were saying.
"I know you guys are talking about me," you grumbled out the accusation while shuffling back over to the bed. Wilson looked a bit guilty to be talking about something involving you behind your back, but House just seemed amused you still had the energy required to dish out snark despite not feeling good.
"Whatever led you to that conclusion?" House asked rhetorically. "We very well could've been discussing what traffic will be like on the way in to work, or our favorite romantic movies." At that, Wilson rolled his eyes in annoyance. House ignored him, finishing with, "Not everything is about you, y'know."
"Don't play dumb with me," was the only thing you could manage to get out as a response given how tired you were. Collapsing onto the bed, you curled under the covers in hopes that maybe all you needed was a couple hours of extra sleep.
Too exhausted for your brain to work properly, you only picked up bits and pieces of their conversation. From what you could tell, they were trying to decide whether or not they should stay home from work to look after you, and if so who it should be out of the two of them.
"I'll stay here with them. Just tell Cuddy I can't come in today because of a medical emergency," House offered while glancing over at your blanket clad form. As much as he acted like he didn't care, he didn't enjoy seeing you in pain, even if it was over something small.
"Are you sure?" Wilson questioned, just to double check in case he wanted to change his mind.
House nodded his head to confirm, uttering "yeah, I'm sure" in an uncharacteristically soft voice.
You heard the sound of footsteps approaching, feeling as Wilson leaned down to press a kiss to your face, murmuring the words "I have to go to work, but I'll be back soon". You just nodded, too weak to say anything more than a quiet "love you".
After he left, House made his way back over to the bed, gently nudging what he assumed to be your leg with his cane. "Move over," he commanded in his usual gruff manner that led little room for argument.
Obliging, you shifted over on the bed, giving him the space to lay down in his normal spot. "Sorry."
He let out a sigh as he got on the bed, feeling a little bad he was so rude given just how pathetic you looked. "It's fine."
The two of you were quiet for a moment before you spoke up again, your voice sounding a little hoarse. "I'm sorry you got stuck here with me. I'm sure you'd rather be doing anything else other than this."
As much as he didn't want to admit it, hearing you say that hurt his heart a little. Then again, he couldn't necessarily blame you for thinking that. "Not true. Why would I want to be in a hospital full of sick people I don't even like when I could be with only one sick person I can at least tolerate?"
You let out a snort of laughter, fully recognizing the jest in his tone. He obviously cared, the grumpy bastard, even if he didn't show it very often.
He felt accomplished when he heard your laugh, continuing in a softer and more genuine tone. "Besides, some things are more important, anyway."
"Mhm." Humming softly in agreement, you moved closer to him on the bed until your head was resting against his shoulder, making sure to give him the space to get up and stretch his leg if he needed to later on. "I love you."
A faint smile formed on his face at your words, one of his arms reaching over to wrap around you protectively. "I know." It was his own way of showing his love for you without having to say the words.
Feeling comfortable and safe in his arms, you must've dozed off because the next thing you remembered was being woken up by the sound of a door opening and shutting.
"Could you be any louder?" House's irritated voice rang out through your ears, the sound not being entirely unpleasant even if it did manage to wake you up more.
"Sorry," you heard Wilson apologize in a hushed tone. There's no way it was evening already, which meant he must've gotten off work early.
"What are you doing back here?" You called out, your voice sounding tired yet curious. "You're supposed to still be at work."
"I couldn't stay knowing you were home sick," he responded as he slipped under the covers next to you, not even bothering to change into more comfortable clothes first.
"Oh, sure, just forget all about me," House complained in mock offense, something that Wilson chose to outrightly ignore.
"But the hospital- I mean, you're the head of oncology, you can't just-"
"Some things are more important," Wilson gently cut off your worries, his hand reaching out to rest on top of yours.
"Hm, that sounds familiar," you muttered while giving House a look that said 'I know you two have been talking about me again'. He looked back as if he had no clue what your deal was.
"Go back to sleep, honey. We'll both still be here when you wake back up." It was hard to ignore the command of the oncologist next to you, especially when he spoke in such a low and soothing way.
"Okay," you agreed without a fight, snuggling comfortably into the arms of your two boyfriends as you closed your eyes and allowed sleep to overtake you yet again, starting to feel a lot better already.

dimples ā˜… jeong jaehyun.
jaehyun x gn!reader. fluff, oneshot.
wc: 587 words.
note: first!! ever!!! jaehyun fic!!! he might be a lil ooc lol. also i would like to dedicate this one to my bae @ch3rryd0ll for dragging me into the fandom ily forever <3
Inspired by a video of Mark saying that to make Jaehyun feel better, just poke his dimple with your finger.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The smell of Jaehyunā€™s cologne tells you heā€™s home, aside from the hushed pitter-patter of his footsteps against the wooden floor. You look up from your book, watching as he enters the room. His mannerisms tell you everything you need to know ā€” he did not have a good day.Ā 
Silently, you watch as he shrugs off his coat, tossing it onto a chair before taking off his socks. Itā€™s not until you clear your throat that he acknowledges your presence ā€” a small smile on his face, yet the stress in his eyes still apparent.Ā 
ā€œHi babe,ā€ he mutters, to which you reply with a ā€œhey.ā€Ā 
The conversation ends there, as Jaehyun disappears into the bathroom. You continue to read your book ā€” or at least attempt to, your mind still occupied with what couldā€™ve happened to your boyfriend, and the ways in which you could comfort him. The sound of water splashing becomes your white noise, along with the occasional sounds of Jaehyun rummaging around. The smell of his coconut shampoo (technically yours, he has a habit of using your products) leaks into the bedroom, and you smile. Youā€™ve missed his presence all day, and you couldnā€™t help but bask in it, albeit itā€™s merely in the form of his scent.Ā 
Soon after, Jaehyun comes out of the bathroom, a towel loosely hanging around his waist, raven hair wet and messy. Once again, he silently goes around the room, putting on a pair of grey sweatpants and drying his hair before getting in the bed with you.Ā 
With Jaehyun finally beside you, messy-haired and so damn kissable, the bedroom walls finally feel like home again.
ā€œRough day?ā€ you whisper, dog-earing a page before setting your book on the nightstand, ā€œSo pouty.ā€
ā€œMm,ā€ he hums, his pout intensifying at your comment, ā€œMissed you.ā€Ā 
You chuckle, letting him cuddle into your side and place his chin on your shoulder. Heā€™s talking less than usual, but you thank God heā€™s at least still clingy.Ā 
ā€œMissed you too,ā€ you reply, pulling up the duvet to cover the both of you.Ā 
Gently, you trace a hand up and down his chest, in an attempt to soothe him. The pout on his face remains. You could practically see his brain still racking, stressing.
ā€œWant to talk about it, baby?ā€ you question, pushing his hair back. A small sigh escapes your lips when he shakes his head.
ā€œTalking about it could make you feel better,ā€ you try again, rubbing a hand on his temple. Again, he shakes his head.Ā 
ā€œYou sure?ā€ you try again. This time, you poke his dimple, smiling to yourself.
Just like that, Jaehyun gives in to you. His pout turns into a small smile, growing wider as you continuously poke his dimple. Soon, he lets out small laughter, tilting his face away from you, as though to shy away.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re so cute,ā€ you giggle, running a hand on his side, the other still poking on his cheek, ā€œSo fucking cute.ā€Ā 
ā€œThatā€™s all you,ā€ he chuckles, meeting your gaze. This time, he genuinely smiles. One that makes his dimples deeper, and his eyes crinkle. ā€œI was stressed, but you just made it all better.ā€
Itā€™s your turn to smile wide, ā€œOkay, Iā€™m glad. You can talk to me every time youā€™re having a hard time, yā€™know?ā€Ā 
Jaehyun nods, wrapping an arm around your waist to pull you closer. Youā€™re now laying chest to chest, his heart thumping against yours. Tenderly, he places a kiss on your forehead, then your lips.Ā 
ā€œOkay, baby.ā€

As soon as the two entered the bar, Wade couldnā€™t stop teasing Logan about the fact that this young lady heā€™s been crushing on for a while, will be dancing tonight.
ā€œShe just started yesterday, why would she already be on stage?ā€ Logan sighed as he leaned back in his chair. ā€œMaybe because sheā€™s the hottest worker, right after my fiancĆ©!?ā€
Logan glared at Wade, making him put his hands up in a surrendering passion.
ā€œLook, donā€™t be grumpy all night. I wanna enjoy my butter pecan up there, alright? Good boy,ā€ Wade patted Loganā€™s head before shouting out Vanessa's name to support her before she came up.
ā€œThatā€™s my girly pop!ā€ Wade yelled out, making Vanessa chuckle as she danced on stage with y/n. Their session was almost done, and Logan felt drained. Watching y/n like this was going to be unforgettable tonight.
At first, he hated the idea of y/n being like this in front of so many men. Thatā€™s the reason why he came last second. Now heā€™s wishing he never did, with how hard and leaky he was from watching.
He couldnā€™t possibly go up to y/n without her knowing. Sheā€™d see the patch instantly. He cursed himself for being a perv.
ā€œHey, Iā€™ll be right back,ā€ Logan got up and quickly walked away before Wade could speak or anyone could see him cover himself up.
ā€œLogan!? Wade sent me back here to come and get you! He said youā€™ve been all here for almost an hour,ā€ y/n said as she made her way down the small hallway to the bathrooms.
After the show, it got dead, since people were only there to see the strippers of the night.
ā€œLogan?ā€ Y/n asked again, but he still didnā€™t hear her. He was too busy trying to focus on his release. ā€œLogan, are you even here?ā€ Y/n opened the menā€™s bathroom slowly, not really caring if she saw anyone else. She wanted to make sure Logan was alright if he was still here.
ā€œGoddamnit,ā€ y/n heard Logan grunt. She wanted to turn back around and leave, thinking he was having trouble using the bathroom until she saw one hand over the bathroom stall.
She squinted her eyes to take a better look, seeing how tight he was gripping the metal. The stall was bending in from how hard he gripped down.
ā€œF-Fuck, just- Fuck, cā€™mon,ā€ Logan groaned in annoyance, angry that heā€™s been going at this for what felt like days. Heā€™s a mutant, so he should be able to last however long he pleased, but he wanted to release now. Heā€™s never been this hard in his life.
ā€œLogan?ā€ Y/n said low, but surprisingly, he heard her this time. ā€œFuck-ā€œ the man cut himself off and stopped instantly. ā€œY/n!?ā€ The man panicked as he fixed himself up, but that was going to be hard.
Heā€™s been leaking for who knows how long, and everything had made its way all over his hand. When he went to wipe his hand in his jeans, all it did was make him look worse.
ā€œYeah, I was just- I was just checking on. Wade told me to,ā€ y/n said as she rubbed her fingers together, a bit embarrassed that she probably witnessed Logan, and an older adult jerking off in a bar bathroom.
ā€œThat motherfucker,ā€ Logan mumbled as he began to buckle his pants. ā€œI can, uh, leave if youā€™d like. Iā€™m technically doing something illegal anyways,ā€ y/n spoke about her being in the menā€™s bathroom. ā€œNo, no!- Just wait a second,ā€
Y/n stayed silent as she heard Logan groan in frustration and probably break a few things in the stall before he finally came out.
ā€œHey, Bub, uh, wassup?ā€ Logan asked as he quickly walked over to the sink, not trying to make anything seem too obvious. ā€œJust checkingā€™ on ya,ā€ y/n smiled as she scanned the man.
ā€œAre you sure youā€™re okay, Logan?ā€ Y/n felt the need to walk over to Logan, but slowly. ā€œYeah, Bub, just needed to take a leak, thatā€™s all,ā€ Logan lied as he turned around after drying his hands.
ā€œAre you sure? Youā€™re breathing a bit heavy, and-ā€œ Y/n went on until she looked down at his lower body, seeing what his jeans looked like. They were basically drenched in one particular area.
Logan took a deep breath with his eyes closed, knowing he was caught and couldnā€™t lie his way out. He prayed sheā€™d think he was just some man who needed to rub one out, but she kept asking him the right questions.
ā€œFirst time watching the new modern women strip?ā€ Y/n chuckled shyly as if wondering if this was even a joking situation. ā€œYouā€™re a funny one,ā€ Logan chuckled as he fixed his shirt he noticed was sitting wrong.
ā€œItā€™s nothing to be embarrassed. Most men donā€™t know how to act when they see a pair of tits,ā€ y/n joked, but that slightly bruised Loganā€™s ego.
ā€œSeen enough tits in my life, Bub,ā€ Logan said, right before he took a look down at her chest. ā€œOh, you have? Seems like a fun life,ā€ y/n got a bit defensive at his response. She couldnā€™t believe it at first, but her response was out of jealousy.
ā€œAinā€™t too bad ā€” As long as they come with a pretty face,ā€ Logan said as he looked into her eyes with a head tilt. ā€œYeah,ā€ was all y/n could say as she broke eye contact.
ā€œYou know youā€™re pretty, right?ā€ Logan asked as he moved towards y/n, softly letting his hand rest on her waist. ā€œReally?ā€ Y/n asked, confidence suddenly being thrown out of the window.
ā€œOh, yeah ā€” So damn pretty,ā€ Logan placed his free hand on her cheek, slightly rubbing it as her eyes widened. ā€œT-Thank you,ā€ y/n stuttered, and all Logan could do was chuckle at how she got around him.
ā€œGot me all worked up out there, hun. Didnā€™t know you could move like that,ā€ Logan admitted. ā€œThatā€™s why they had me dance on my first day,ā€ Y/n said, reminding Logan about that. ā€œThat doesnā€™t sit right with me, Bub. Donā€™t want you back here workinā€™ for a creep,ā€
ā€œBut Vanessa? She works here,ā€ y/n said, but he some care. ā€œThat ainā€™t my girl, so what she does, doesnā€™t concern me,ā€ Logan said, not wanting to sound rude, but he truly did not care about anyone else, but y/n.
ā€œYou, though? Youā€™re my girl, and you didnā€™t tell me about this job ā€” Wade had to,ā€ Logan said as the hand on her waist tightened. ā€œAnd, that doesnā€™t sit right with me,ā€
Y/n felt the need to apologize, thinking she did something terribly wrong, even though she didnā€™t. Only in Loganā€™s eyes, she did do something that would need some consequences.
ā€œGonna say anything before I do what Iā€™ve been needing for the past two hours?ā€ Y/n wanted to speak, but she couldnā€™t. She was curious about how far Logan would take this.
ā€œCā€™mere,ā€ Logan said as he pulled y/n into a bigger bathroom stall than the one he was in. Once he locked the door, he pushed y/n to her knees, making sure to keep eye contact with her soft eyes.
ā€œGonna need you to look at me just like that until Iā€™m done, okay? Been stuck for the past hour with this shit,ā€ Logan said as he reached into his jeans to pull himself out. He didnā€™t think about it, but y/n sure did once she saw his length.
He was long, harder than sheā€™d ever seen anyone before, thick, veiny, and leaking more than an average human should be.
ā€œOpen up, Bub,ā€ was all Logan said as he pushed at her lips with his tip. Y/n hesitated but soon opened up and took him in. She had stopped after a few inches, but he continued thrusting his hips until she was in as much as he thought she could take.
ā€œFuck, baby ā€” This is exactly what I needed,ā€ Logan rolled his eyes as he felt instant release. He knew he was close, but he wanted to last. ā€œStop gaggin, baby ā€” Wanna last a bit longer,ā€ Logan told y/n, but she couldnā€™t. He was too huge.
ā€œBub, I said- Oh my god,ā€ Logan grew angry, but soon whined as her throat collapsed around his shaft. ā€œFuck, I canā€™t hold it, Bub. So damn wet and warm- Fuck,ā€ was all Logan said before his cock twitched.
Y/n couldn't help but look up at Logan to watch him lose himself in her mouth. The main she let out as he spilled into her mouth, made him groan louder, and tighten his grip on her hair.
ā€œGoddamnit, Iā€™m gonna cum again-ā€œ Logan struggled to say as his legs shook, and a second orgasm ripped from him. Y/nā€™s eyes widen as more cum filled her mouth, so much that his seed leaked out of her mouth. There was too much to take.
ā€œNah uh, swollen it all, or I make you walk out with it on your face,ā€

We should make a list of every safety hazard in Alchemy class:
EVERYTHING WRONG WITH NRC ALCHEMY:
ā€¢ Leonaā€™s open toed shoes
ā€¢ Idia drinking tea out of a beaker
ā€¢Liliaā€™s oversized coat
ā€¢ Idia, Leona, Vil, & Malleus not tying their hair back (and i guess other students with their hair in their face. I never took chemistry in school so idk fbdiwhwhckxzm)
ā€¢ Students not wearing their goggles
ā€¢ CREWELā€™S GIANT FLAMMABLE FUR COAT
Tumblr media
Oh, Iā€™ve seen more than one post talking about how the various students break lab dress or safety protocols in their initial Labwear art/models so I didnā€™t know if I should make one of my own?? But here it is, I guessā€”
(Please note that some of these violations are flexible/up to interpretation, particularly the ā€œneeds to pin/tie hair backā€ list. Generally itā€™s advised to do this for shoulder length or longer but others will want long bangs out of the way as well.)
Not pinning/tying hair back: Riddle, Deuce, Cater (kind of; his side bangs could be pinned back), Leona, Ruggie (not sure), Azul, Jade, Floyd, Jamil, Vil, Rook, Epel, Idia, Malleus, Lilia (?), Silver
Not fully buttoning lab coat: Ace, Cater, Trey, Leona, Jack, Floyd, Kalim, Jamil, Idia, Lilia, Grim
Not tucking in tie/ribbon or other loose fabric: Riddle, Ace, Cater, Trey, Kalim, Jamil, Epel, Lilia
Not wearing/keeping on safety goggles: Ace, Cater, Leona, Ruggie, Kalim, Epel, Lilia, Grim
Didnā€™t remove jewelry: Cater, Jack, Jade, Floyd, Kalim
Not wearing fur net: Leona, Jack, Ruggie, Grim
Not fully covering the legs (ankles exposed): Cater, Leona, Ruggie, Kalim
Touching face/clothes/hair with gloves on: Kalim, Jamil, Vil
Improper equipment handling technique: Jade, Floyd
Didnā€™t remove hat: Rook
Missing close-toed shoes: Leona
Oversized lab coat/sleeves too long: Lilia
Mixing tea in beaker: Idia
Not keeping an eye on the reaction (applicable depending on the experiment): Deuce
Didnā€™t put away the baton: Silver
Flammable (?): Idia (not sure though since his hair doesnā€™t actually behave like real fire), Grim (not sure)
So the most frequently committed crime is not keeping their hair back :/
And to compare the number of crimes committed by student (1/2 point granted for debatable sins):
Leona - 6
Kalim - 6
Cater - 5 1/2
Lilia - 4 1/2
Jack - 4
Floyd - 4
Jamil - 4
Idia - 3 1/2
Grim - 3 1/2
Ace - 3
Jade - 3
Epel - 3
Riddle - 2
Trey - 2
Vil - 2
Rook - 2
Silver - 2
Deuce - 2 (or 1 1/2 depending on how you want to judge his lab technique)
Ruggie - 1 1/2
Azul - 1
Malleus - 1
Ortho - 0
Sebek - 0
That makes Kalim and Leona the worst offendersā€¦ and brainiacs (like Riddle and Azul), people whose best subjects are Potionology (looking at you, Vil and Jade), and Science Club members (Trey and Rook) are making common mistakes šŸ’€
Sebek is the ONLY student with no errors in his presentation or lab conduct. Ortho technically also has no errors, but heā€™s a special case and perhaps itā€™s not fair to compare him to the other students because of his advanced capabilities as an android.
Crewel has a few violations himself, most notably the flammable fur coat. Though we donā€™t get a formal reasoning for why this is, I like to headcanon that Crewelā€™s coat, while being a lab safety hazard irl, is enchanted to be protective. (I wrote about it here!) Why? Because I donā€™t think Crewel is willing to compromise on fashion, but heā€™s also not dumb enough to walk into a lab like lookinā€™ like that. Reinforcing clothing with magic is also something we know is possible and a actually see Crewel doing for the students in Endless Halloween Night, so he definitely has the capabilities for it.

Gojo x Fem!Pregnant!Reader pt. 2
He comes back, but at what price?
pt. 1 pt 3
You gripped his arm tightly, ā€œToru, this is stupid! Youā€™re not going to die, so please stop acting like you are. And- and please stop saying all this stuff about how everyone only sees you as a tool and as a monster. I donā€™t see you-ā€œ
You stumbled a little when you felt his infinity engulf him. A frown covering your features as he glared at you.
ā€œAnd there you go again.ā€
He turned fully towards you, ā€œacting like you know everything when you donā€™t. Honestly, this whole marriage was probably a mistake. I thought being with you would make everything better, but at the end of the day, we were just two stupid teenagers who lost too many people.ā€
ā€œSatoruā€¦ you donā€™t really mean that, do you?ā€
You unconsciously placed a gentle hand over your belly. Your hand laying directly over your baby. He was so excited when you told him you were pregnant. His smile was even brighter than yours. It was hard to believe that the man in front of you was the same person who you happily called your husband, friend, coworker (even though you technically are on break from the jujutsu world at the moment), and soulmate.
He was it for you. Your one and only. But maybeā€¦ that wasnā€™t the case for him too.
You blinked back your tears at the memory as you hastily tried to get most things out of his place before he got home. If he found you here with your things, then obviously that would raise some alarm bells.
ā€œIs this really how you plan to end things,ā€ shoko asked as she helped load up Ichijiā€™s car. (She had luckily agreed to help you move back into your old dorm room until you could find a suitable apartment.
ā€œYesā€¦ā€
ā€œYou donā€™t sound too sure,ā€ she said as Nanami came down the stairs with the last of your boxes.
ā€œI- Iā€™m sure.ā€
ā€œWell, you do realize that you both are still technically married, right?ā€
You looked away at that as Nanami closed the trunk of the car and came to stand next to you.
ā€œOf course, I know thatā€¦ Iā€™m justā€¦ trying to figure out how to get him to sign divorce papers without him questioning it.ā€
Shoko sighed and looked to Nanami, ā€œare you going to say anything?ā€
You fidgeted in place the moment that Nanami turned his attention to you, ā€œdo what makes you happy. Throughout all of our school years and missions we did together, I noticed that you never once did anything for yourself, so you should take that chance now. If you truly want to stay with Gojo, then Iā€™ll happily take everything back up there, but if you donā€™t then we can look for an apartment for you once we get you situated in the dorms.ā€
You take a moment to remember your high school days. When everyone was still together, happy and alive. You also remember Nanami and his nervous confession to you, you also remember how you awkwardly told him you were already dating someone. And you remember the absolute annoyance on his face when Gojo would rub it in on how he was the one who was dating you. (You regret telling Gojo of Nanamiā€™s confession when you witnessed the absolute torment that Gojo put Nanami through.) Even when you both were married, Gojo never failed to rub it in Nanamiā€™s face at how he was the one who got to marry you.
But maybeā€¦ he just married you out of convenience like he said. That he only married you to make sure you would die or leave like everyone else.
ā€œIā€¦ I really want to stay with Satoru,ā€ you didnā€™t realize it yet, but you were crying. Your eyes spilled big, fat bubbly tears as your lip trembled. You found yourself crying so loud in front of Gojoā€™s house that all you could do was lay your head in your hands.
Shoko and Nanami could only smile.
ā€œThat answers that. Letā€™s get this stuff back in there.ā€
And even though it took your blubbery tears and another two hours, all your things were back where they belong. The moving boxes going back into some forgotten closet.
ā€œBut what am I going to do?ā€
ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€
ā€œI canā€™t just spring the whole baby thing on him. Like hey Gojo, sorry for lying to you back there but weā€™re actually married! And me being pregnant? Yeah, you guessed it, youā€™re the father!ā€
Shoko chuckled lightly as you hit her shoulder, ā€œstop laughing, this is serious!ā€
Shoko stuffed her hands into her pockets and looked to Nanami again who had already placed a comforting hand onto your shoulder.
ā€œGojoā€¦, despite being a man-child most of the time, is understanding. He may not remember, but I know he loves you too much to let you go. In fact, you donā€™t know this but during one of the many times he was annoying me about his relationship with you, he told me somethingā€¦ā€
ā€œWhat was it?ā€
ā€œHe told me how he fell in love with you the moment you met him.ā€
ā€œBut we-ā€œ
ā€œYeah, he also told me that, too. How you both first met at twelve years old. He said that he may not have understood what love was at the time, but he knew it could only be you.ā€
