#first you have to convince him your love and affection is genuine

(part of the Wife at First Sight series)
When Ghost had asked if you would help him with something, youâd answered yes without a question. You didn��t ask for details, smiling and thanking him every time he opened each door that led to the baseâs parking garage, giggling when he even insisted on opening the truck door for you. Youâd come to grow fond of your work husband, appreciating how he never failed to make you feel special.
You sometimes wished his affections were genuine, rather than part of what youâd assumed was a strange hazing ritual in the military (which you couldnât deny kind of worked, the two of you had grown closer hadnât you? Was that the point of hazings?).
But you knew that line of thinking wouldnât lead anywhere, other than potential heartbreak. He surely was only joking around, wouldnât return your feelings. Thatâs why you played along with the ruse, but tried your best not to fall too hard for the man who was making that more and more impossible.
Still though, you couldnât deny the pang in your heart when you discovered the errand he requested your help with, was to go look at engagement rings.
Did he actually have someone special in his life? Someone he hoped to propose to?
You felt guilty, thinking there might be another person out there that he loves enough to ask them to marry him, all the while youâre enjoying his attention at work, pretending he could ever actually want you as his wife.
You follow him into the shop, eyes widening at the never ending cases and displays of shiny, glittering jewelry, as far as the eye can see.
He chuckles at your expression, telling you not to worry your pretty little head over any price tags, just to pick out whichever one you liked.
You appreciated that he trusts your judgement so much that he wanted your opinion on which ring to buy his partner, and so you take your time looking through them all, even if it makes you sad to picture him slipping this ring onto another personâs finger.
Gaze scanning the displays, your eye is instantly caught by one ring and one ring only. You point to it, Ghost humming in agreement, signalling for one of the employees behind the counter to unlock the case.
The man pulls the ring out, handing it to the Lieutenant who examines it in between gloved fingers.
âLetâs see how it fits.â He murmurs, taking your left hand in his and slipping the band onto your ring finger, both of your eyes locked on the movement.
âLike a glove.â The employee says with a smile, moving to gather a selection of ring boxes he hopes to show you both, seeing that the ring has evidently found its owner and fits perfectly.
âItâs really beautiful Ghost.â You tell him, admiring the ring as he admires your expression. ��Your wifeâs a lucky woman.â You add, thinking of the mystery woman youâre convinced heâs buying this for, assuming you must have a similar ring size to her or something, if heâs having you try it on.
Your eyes meet his own warm gaze as his hand folds your fingers, bringing the ring up to his lips to press a kiss through the mask.
âNot as lucky as I am to be her husband.â

Hey angel!! hope ur doing well!!
i was wondering if I could request roommate!marauders where they have crushes on reader buttt she already has a bf but he's just a total jerk.... and u sorta get the idea?? (if u haven't done one like this already)
much love!!! <3333
Thank you for requesting lovely <3
cw: douchebag boyfriend, marauders fancy reader but don't genuinely want her to cheat or end her relationship for them
(poly)roommate!marauders x fem!reader ⥠1.1k words
Itâs heartbreaking how lovely you look first thing in the morning. Sweet, rumpled pajamas, plodding gait, sunlight stretching over features still soft with sleep. You raise your hand to cover a yawn as you enter the kitchen, eyelashes still drooping like theyâve weights sewn into them.Â
âMorning,â you say on the tail end.Â
âMorning.â James opens one arm to you. You step into the hug automatically, and he drops a kiss to your head, his own private indulgence. Youâre eyeing the omelet heâs frying up with his other hand. âWant one?âÂ
âMm, wish I could,â your voice is a somnolent mumble, âbut Daleâs taking me to breakfast in a bit.âÂ
James tries not to react, but his hold on you stiffens some. From the living room, he hears Sirius scoff. âOh.âÂ
âIâm sure your omelet would be better.â You pat his side, moving out from under his arm to go to the coffee pot. âWeâre going to this cafe he likes, and they never have anything I want. Still, I can hardly show up full.âÂ
James feels himself frown. Typical of your boyfriend to take you somewhere you donât even like. Perhaps heâs a tad biased, but James thinks you should eat one of his omelets and show up full just to teach him a lesson.Â
He plates up the one heâs just finished. You tail him into the living room as he delivers it to Sirius, curling your feet up underneath you on the couch. Remus is sitting in the armchair reading the paper. He and James have already had their breakfasts, but you and Sirius are always the last up on weekends.
âAre you finished with the funnies?â you ask Remus.Â
He looks up at you with a tenderness James doesnât know how you canât see. âYeah,â he says, shaking out a page. âHere.âÂ
Sirius snickers at your choice of reading material as you reach across him for it. You nudge his thigh with your knee. âBite me.âÂ
âAnywhere youâd like me to, babe.â He winks.Â
You roll your eyes and fold the page to read, well used to Siriusâ flirting. Similarly to how heâd done with Remus, Siriusâ ill-advised tactic for winning you over involves alternating between taunting you relentlessly and acting like his affection for you is all one big joke. It only barely worked on RemusâJamesâ interference had been required there, and that was before heâd admitted to himself his own feelings for either of the two boysâso James doesnât understand why Sirius would give it another go with you.Â
âOh.â Remus closes his paper, seeming to remember something. âI was wondering if you might have time to go with me to the farmerâs market this morning. Weâre out of eggs, but I canât haggle with the woman like you do.âÂ
You give him a sorry sort of smile. âI would, but Daleâs meant to pick me up at ten.â
âOh, well.â Sirius rolls his eyes, chewing malignantly on a bite of omelet. âIf Dale said heâll be here at ten, then surely thatâs whatâs happening.âÂ
You bump his thigh again good naturedly. âBe nice.âÂ
James bites his tongue, and even Remus reopens his newspaper with a tad more vigor than necessary. Sirius is by far the most vocal with you about your boyfriendâs flaws, but your roommates all hate him. The guyâs a prick. James would never in a million years try to convince you to leave your partner for themâand despite Siriusâ joking, he knows neither of the other boys would want that eitherâbut if you broke up with Dale, he would be very tempted to throw a party.Â
James really doesnât understand how someone like you could end up with someone so holistically unpleasant as your boyfriend. Heâs rude, inconsiderate, he doesnât express any gratitude for the sweet things you do for him, and he is never where he says heâs going to be when he says heâs going to be there. He shows so little regard for anyone but himself. If he told you he was going to pick you up at ten in the morning, heâs just as likely to arrive at three in the afternoon. Even for your half-hearted defense of him, itâs nearly ten and youâve made no move to change out of your pajamas or get ready, because you know he wonât be here on time. It irks your roommates to no end to see you tolerate such poor treatment.Â
âMaybe you can go with Remus to the farmerâs market,â you tell Sirius. âYou seem like you could negotiate.âÂ
âSirius doesnât know how much eggs are supposed to cost,â Remus says idly.Â
âOi!â Sirius objects through a mouthful of omelet. âI do so.âÂ
James smiles at him. âReally. How much do you think eggs cost, love?âÂ
Sirius manages to take another bite while James is asking, so his mouth is conveniently too full to answer.Â
âI can manage it on my own,â Remus says with indulgent fondness. âDove, do me one favor, though?âÂ
You lift your coffee. âSure.âÂ
âDonât let him summon you outside with his horn again.âÂ
Thereâs a brief but thick silence while you finish swallowing your coffee and all three boys try not to look too obviously judgmental (Sirius trying the least, naturally). The purse of your lips reveals some embarrassment.Â
Still, your voice comes out unconcerned. âItâs not a big deal to me. Itâs not like weâre in school and I need him to come to the door and meet my parents. Itâs a time saver.âÂ
âItâs rude,â says Remus gently. âYou deserve someone who will come to the door for you.âÂ
Jamesâ thoughts exactly.Â
âSure you donât want some toast or something while you wait?â James asks, partly to dispel the tension and partly because he really does think you should eat something if Dale isnât likely to be here until the afternoon. âYou could call it an appetizer.âÂ
You stand with your emptied coffee mug, passing an affectionate hand over Jamesâ hair as you move between his legs and the coffee table. âThanks,â you say genuinely, âbut Iâm alright. Iâm going to go get ready.âÂ
However eager James is to avoid the tension that comes from insulting (or, really, just speaking frankly about) your boyfriend, Sirius has no such concerns. âWhile weâre telling Dale things,â he says after you, âbe sure to remind him that our flat has a three-strike roommate tears policy. Next time you come home crying, Jamie and I get to make a house call.âÂ
Your laughter echoes down the hallway. âSure, Iâll let him know.âÂ
Sirius looks at James, perplexed. âDid I sound like I was joking? I was not using my joking voice.âÂ
James pats his leg consolingly.

Hiii hru? I was wondering if I could request gon and killua (seperate) with a fem reader that is very girly? And I know itâs kinds weird but she kinda has pretty privilege and will literally get whatever she wants by winning at some other teenager. Shes very kind and sweet though so she doesnât take advantage of it. Sorry if thatâs kind of odd and if you donât want to write it itâs ok𫶠love you!
HI ANON !! It's completely alright 𫡠I find this request rly cute as my other post was the exact opposite ! Thank you for making this request 𫰠Apologies if its ooc ( out of character ), but I had soo much fun writing this !
âšââ IT Girl !áśť đ đ°
âšââ Girly!Reader x Killua Zoldyck, Gon Freecss ( Separate ! )áśť đ đ°
ŕźâ§âË. Let's Start !ŕźâ§âË.
ŕźâ§âË. Killua Zoldyck !áśť đ đ°
⢠Now let's all be honest ! The first time Killua met you, he probably felt so annoyed and kept grumbling how they were teams with a "girl." As the stereotypical boy he is.
⢠But despite Killua's comments, you were so unbothered and even excused his actions?! He was stunned! Because if that was him, he'd internally judge them!
⢠But honestly, Killua underestimated you. In Killua's eyes, you looked so.. fragile? Yet your performance in combat impressed him! You were pretty agile, and you had a smart mindâ not to mention, you were pretty, too! Not like he would say that out loud.
⢠During the final examination, yk the time where he killed an applicant? He could see you from his peripheral vision, and he saw genuine worry and concern for him. HIM. He found that so odd that a girl like you would worry for him.
⢠When you rescued him, that look in your eyes just SCREAMED affection, and that just hit Killua in the gut, y'know? Who wouldn't fumble in their words when such a pretty and sweet girl like [Name] comes running to them with an expression like that.
⢠See nowâ in Killua's case, he's never been with a caring or sweet female since almost everyone is his household is literally fucked up. So you were a new case for him.
⢠Nonetheless, he was pretty honored and glad you came for him out of everyone.
⢠And so, he slowly warmed up to you, even growing comfortable to the point he'd randomly touch your hair, arms, fingers, just any where he thinks that looks odd or pretty.
⢠Yes ! He sometimes stares at your features and finds himself admiring them. Well who wouldn't?! The way you bat your eyelashes so innocently, the way your lip gloss reflects the sun in a positive elegant way when you smile, complimenting your teeth, the way your blush makes your cheeks so much more squishy he just wants toâ
⢠"Killua? You okay? You're zoning out again." [Name] says in amusement with Gon just looked at the boy who was staring, Killua blinked twice and hummed in a nonchalant manner, placing his hands behind his back and shrugged. "I'm perfectly fine. Better than ever. Let's get going again."
⢠There was one time where there's this one kid around their age who was gatekeeping Killua's the store's choco robots and you came to Killua's rescue, using your very cutesy face card to convince the kid to at least have 3!
⢠After that, Killua looked at you like you're some kind of GODDESS. He's been trying to convince that kid and you did it so effortlessly?! Even snagging him an extra one?! Oh you're his favorite now.
ŕźâ§âË. Gon Freecss !áśť đ đ°
⢠He found you SUUUPER cute and charismatic ! Like the whole time you two were talking, he'd always sneak in a compliment ! His words flattered you a bunch, too !
⢠He's like a natural smooth talker 'cause WHAT?! Every compliment / comment he makes about you leaves your heart beating!
⢠Instead of you making him flustered, you ALWAYS find yourself stammering over your words. Was it you who fell in love first or was it him?!
⢠Honestly with how smooth he is you're starting to think he treats every girl like this.. ( Spoiler, he doesn't )
⢠During the Heaven's Arena training, he was genuinely worried since you'd often wear skirts, but turns out you were already prepared! Introducing the.. skort! While it looks like an ordinary skirt, there were already built in shorts inside to prevent the creeps from looking!
⢠Similarly to Killua, he finds himself staring but is shamelessly doing it. When you stare back, he smiles. SMILES so charmingly, making YOU look away and he laughs.
⢠He loves the fact you get along with anyone you see or talk to !! It's probably because of your looks and personality, but nonetheless he supports you !!
⢠okay but I js know he's really vocal with your favorite features !! He probably loves your hair since it looks so silky, smooth, and soft to the touch! He also probably loves your nails too ! Almost having new and different styles monthly and he loves making guesses and predictions on what the design / style it'll be !!
⢠oh and, he absolutely LOVES how you do a wardrobe change almost everyday, you and Killua do a bunch of fashion shows together and Gon rates them :3
⢠His favorite fits are probably the ones with the very long skirts that reach the ankles with a comfy top, just anything that reminds him of Mito !
⢠He loves all the girls in his life equally :3 a lot of things reminds him of you and Mito ! So when he brought you and Killua to Whale Island to meet Mito, he was really happy that you got along well with his mother <3
⢠This was honestly his go signal to just shoot his shot, what could he lose? His mama loves you so much ! And he does too !! And so does Killua !! Everyone approves of you !!
ŕźâ§âË. End !ŕźâ§âË.
Thank you for reading ! This strictly belongs to me / killuakiru and I do not give permission for you to repost on other platforms, thank you !

Aventurine is absolutely the Honkai equivalent of this meme, and no, I will not elaborate.
#honkai star rail#aventurine#I lied#catch me elaborating in the tags#always#I'M JUST SAYING#I absolutely believe that if someone shows Aventurine#even the tiniest modicum of GENUINE care and respect#then it's just âNo questions askedâ for Aventurine#he will jump in front of the bullet for you#he will take out your worst enemy#you will never go hungry again#BUT#first you have to convince him your love and affection is genuine#which is kind of like convincing the Sphinx not to eat you after failing her riddles#but still#WORTH A SHOT

festered wounds
â when youâve never been the first choice your whole life, itâs hard to accept the possibility that you could be loved.
Š zhongrin | 2023  ⟠ no repostăťtranslationsăťplagiarism of any kindăťai data mining. rebloggers get a free cup of tea âĄ
âź characters â zhongli, al haitham, wriothesley
âź tags â gn!reader, this is more of a vent drabble, hurt with comfort, reader with massive insecurity issues, implied past trauma, slight blood & gore in the portrayal of âhurtâ
âź a/n â thisâŚ. got really personal, haha. i wrote this in a bad headspace, so apologies if it got depressing or if itâs of a low quality. i didn't want to have this in my drafts and i certainly don't want to bring it to 2024 so i'm just posting this now.
á´á´Ę ę°á´ĘĘ á´á´É´á´ (á´á´ęąá´á´ĘĘÉŞęąá´) ⟠á´á´á´Ęá´ĘęąĘÉŞá´ (á´á´É˘ĘÉŞęąá´)
âiâm sorry.â
zhongliâs heart dropped at the words escaping your lips. this was certainly the most unexpected response you could give to his confession, seeing the promising recent developments in your relationship â and so celestia forgive him, he had to pause to gather his thoughts. this made you fidget even more under his gaze, and so you succumbed to your frazzled nerves to continue in a more panicked voice.
âiâm sorry, mr. zhongli, i know youâre not the type to resort to deceit or find joy in toying with peopleâs feelings, but iâm justâ i canâtââ you trailed off, feeling your chest tighten in pain.
âplease, hold your tongue for a moment,â the refined man held out one of his hand to settle onto your shoulder comfortingly. his expression was a mixture of worry and confusion, eyebrows furrowing in a sign of distress. âare you saying that you⌠do not believe my words? you think i have malicious intentions?â
ââŚ.. iâm sorry, iâm just not used to- iâve never-â you stumbled over your words and squeezed your eyes shut, âiâm sorryâŚ.â
zhongli watched you for a moment, observing the smallest ticks and the story behind your body language. you looked so vulnerable, like a scared animal instinctively cowering at some invisible threat. you looked as if someone had stripped away a bandage that had been haphazardly wrapped around a wound left unattended for so long, it had festered into an abomination, eating away at you slowly, even now.
belatedly, he realized that âsomeoneâ was himself.
zhongli inhaled deeply, his palm leaving your shoulder. this time, he took his hands to tenderly grab your fingers, lifting them up to silently plead for your attention. your eyes were troubled and full of storms, the rain and lighting reflecting on your expression as a solemn flutter of your eyelashes and sorrowful downturn of your lips. the slight tremble of your body reflected the silent call for help from a blemished heart that never had the courage to forget.
âmy dearest. i see the pain you have gone through. i have yet to know the tales that had marred your heart, but i want you to know that i am willing to be the pair of ears you tell your grievances to, and you can be rest assured that they will be safe with me. i know my words will not be enough to convince you otherwise at this moment⌠however, you must forgive my impatience, for it stems out of genuine love. i simply must humbly ask once againââ
ââ please, give me a chance to heal you.â
âa-are you sure you want me?â
out of the 18 different responses he anticipated, al haitham did not expect this. however, his surprise merely manifested in the rising of both of his eyebrows and the subtle shift on his legs.
âunlike the consensus the public seemed to have one-sidedly agreed on, i am not foolish enough in the matter of romance as to confess to someone i do not hold deep affection and great care for,â he said in the same tone as the moment he asked if you would consider taking your relationship into the âofficially datingâ phase, âis it not obvious? kaveh claimed i was âlaying it on thickâ and cyno had noted of how i treat you better than how i treat the dendro archon.â
âohâŚ.â
ââŚ.â
ââŚ.â
you thought you had gotten used to al haithamâs stare with how much you both had been hanging out, but right now you couldnât seem to lift your head. the scholar crossed his arms, waiting patiently for your response. you were both gratuitous and dreading his resilience.
âi-i still think you could do better, though. i mean, look at you! youâre so fit, so wouldnât you feel better if your partner is more of the sporty type? and youâre the top graduate of the haravatat darshan, so you would pair better with someone smarterâŚ. a-and someone like me will just drag you down; aesthetically speaking, i⌠uh, leave much to be desired while youâre⌠you knowâŚâ
you spoke of such illogical assumptions and erroneous advices that he couldnât help but roll his eyes. you spoke of belittling yourself as if you were used to riding on the rails of insurmountably low dip of the self-esteem cliff for years. you spoke of these things as if you were repeating words someone told you at least once in your life.
and it angered him.
but he wasnât angry at you. he was angry for you.
funny how empathy wasnât his strong suit, and yet he jumped on the bandwagon as easily as an otter taking off into the waters the moment it came to you and your emotions.
âi care not for such shallow qualifications when it comes to seeking a partner. your presence triggers the relevant hormones that make me feel relaxed and comfortable, and my mind spontaneously seek for your attention. itâs only logical that i seek for an arrangement that would ensure these pleasant things to happen and develop further.â
âyouâre the best choice for a partner, simply because i wish to spend the rest of my life with you; and i think that's enough.â
âi donât think iâm a good choice for youâŚâ
wriothesley looked as if you had pinpointed his weak point in a boxing match and delivered a straight jab right onto it. his lips slacked open and his body froze as he tried to process your words, the meaning behind it, theâ
he inhaled deeply and punched his own fist into his palm, stretching his jaw with a growl before a darker tone took over his voice.
âalright, whoâs been talking shit? let me at them. it wonât be manslaughter if they donât die, right?â
he watched as your nervously fiddling fingers stopped twisting around each other, your eyes widened in shock and alarm at his words. briefly, he praised himself inwardly for being able to switch your mood at the snap of his fingers. now if only he could do that, but instead of surprise-and-horror, it could turn into surprise-and-joy insteadâŚ
âwhat?! wait- no! no one said that, i juââ
âthen is your own head telling you that?â
âitâsââ you gulped, gaze slowly breaking away.
he sensed a secret kept safe under the heaviest chains and locks. pain that had nearly torn up that warm heart of yours, shoved into the furthest part of you in a desperate attempt to save yourself; to silence the damned screams and the river of curses that would have made you self-destruct. he saw the remains of the thousands of needles that had embedded itself deep inside your worn heart a long time ago, and yet still it beat and struggled to not bleed out and drown you in its venomous blood.
he saw a heart as scarred as his skin, and he understood.
â..⌠alright, sweetheart, listen up, and listen close.â
the manâs hands suddenly cradled your cheeks, his icy blue eyes penetrating your clouded gaze. his whole demeanor had shifted into gentle and loving, as if he was holding his entire world in the palms of his hands. he resisted the urge to kiss you when you couldnât help but lean onto his touch, instinctively seeking comfort.
he would do you better. he would give you the kind of love youâve yet to experience. there were so much he wanted to say, but he chose to speak of the reassurance he thought you needed most at this moment.
âi say youâre the perfect choice for me. let me prove it to you.â

Black Widow
Toto Wolff x black widow!Reader
Summary: Lewis Hamilton and George Russell are convinced youâre trying to kill their team principal, and, to be fair, you do have a trail of seven dead extremely wealthy husbands behind you ⌠but itâs not what they think, you promise
The soft beep of medical equipment provides a rhythmic backdrop as you sit beside the ornate mahogany bed, your manicured fingers intertwined with those of your latest husband, Reginald Worthington III.
At 89 years old, Reggie, as you affectionately call him, is by far your oldest conquest yet. His wrinkled face, now gaunt from months of illness, still manages a weak smile as he gazes at you.
âMy darling,â Reggie wheezes, his voice barely above a whisper, âI hope you know how much joy youâve brought to these final months of mine.â
You lean in, your silky hair cascading over your shoulder as you press a gentle kiss to his forehead. âOh, Reggie. The pleasure has been all mine.â
Itâs not entirely a lie. While you donât love Reggie â or any of your previous husbands, for that matter â youâve grown fond of the old codger. Heâs certainly been the most amusing of your elderly spouses.
Reggieâs eyes twinkle with mischief, a ghost of the rakish playboy he must have been in his youth. âNow, now, my dear. We both know this has been a mutually beneficial arrangement. But I do hope Iâve provided some entertainment along the way.â
You canât help but chuckle. âYouâve been a delight, darling. Truly.â
As if on cue, Reggie is seized by a coughing fit. You quickly grab a glass of water from the bedside table, helping him take small sips until the spasms subside. When he catches his breath, he fixes you with a serious look.
âY/N, thereâs something I need to tell you. About the will.â
Your heart skips a beat, but you keep your face carefully neutral. âReggie, please. We donât need to discuss such morbid topics.â
He waves a dismissive hand. âNonsense. We both know why youâre here, and itâs not to admire the wallpaper. Now listen, because this is important.â
You lean in closer, curiosity piqued despite yourself.
Reggieâs voice drops to a conspiratorial whisper. âIn addition to the usual â the houses, the cars, the offshore accounts â Iâm leaving you my stake in the Mercedes Formula 1 team.â
Your eyes widen in genuine surprise. âThe racing team? Reggie, I had no idea you were involved with-â
He cuts you off with a wheezy laugh. âOh, my dear. Thereâs so much you donât know about me. Did you think I made my fortune selling denture cream?â
You canât help but smile. âWell, I did wonder about all those trophies in your study.â
âRemnants of a misspent youth,â Reggie says with a wistful sigh. âBut this, this is my crowning achievement. A 33% stake in one of the most successful F1 teams in history.â
Your mind reels at the implications. This is far beyond anything youâd anticipated when youâd set your sights on Reginald Worthington III.
âReggie, I ... I donât know what to say.â
He pats your hand affectionately. âYou donât have to say anything, my dear. Just promise me youâll make the most of it. Iâve always admired your ambition. It reminds me of myself at your age.â
You lean back in your chair, studying the old man before you. In that moment, you feel a surge of genuine affection for him.
âI promise, Reggie. Iâll make you proud.â
He nods, satisfied. âGood. Now, tell me about the others. I want to know how I measure up to my predecessors.â
You laugh, shaking your head in amazement. âAre you sure? Itâs quite a list.â
Reggieâs eyes sparkle with interest. âMy dear, Iâm on my deathbed. Regale me with tales of your conquests.â
With a theatrical sigh, you begin. âWell, if you insist. Letâs see ... first, there was Harold.â
âAh, the virgin husband,â Reggie interrupts with a knowing nod.
You raise an eyebrow. âAnd how did you know that?â
He winks. âI have my sources. Go on.â
âRight. Well, Harold was a sweet man. A bit naive, perhaps, but genuinely kind. He left me his tech startup. It wasnât worth much at the time, but I sold it for a tidy sum a year later.â
Reggie nods approvingly. âSmart move. Who was next?â
âAfter Harold came George. He was ... intense. A retired army general with a penchant for war stories and expensive scotch. Left me his collection of rare military memorabilia.â
âFascinating,â Reggie murmurs. âAnd the others?â
You tick them off on your fingers. âLetâs see ... there was Joaquin, the passionate Spanish chef. He left me his Michelin-starred restaurants. Then came Dmitri, the Russian oligarch. That was ... an experience.â
Reggie chuckles. âI bet it was. What did he leave you?â
âA series of shell companies and a rather gaudy yacht. I sold the yacht, kept the companies.â You pause, lost in thought for a moment. âAfter Dmitri was William, the British lord. Lovely man, terrible teeth. Left me his crumbling estate and title.â
âSo youâre technically a lady now?â Reggie asks, amused.
You nod. âLady Y/N, at your service. Though I donât use the title much. It tends to raise questions.â
âUnderstandable. And the last one before me?â
Your expression softens slightly. âAh, that was Hiroshi. Japanese tech mogul. Brilliant mind, but so lonely. I think I was the first real companionship heâd had in years.â
Reggie studies you carefully. âYou were fond of him.â
You nod, a bit surprised by the lump in your throat. âI was. He ... he understood me, I think. More than the others.â
Thereâs a moment of silence as Reggie processes this information. Finally, he speaks. âAnd what did Hiroshi leave you?â
You smile wryly. âHis AI research company. Itâs been ... interesting, to say the least.â
Reggie nods slowly. âQuite a collection youâve amassed, my dear. But tell me, what drives you? Surely itâs not just the money.â
Youâre taken aback by the question. No one has ever asked you that before. You take a moment to gather your thoughts.
âI suppose ... itâs the challenge of it all. The thrill of reinventing myself with each new husband, of navigating these complex worlds they inhabit. And yes, the wealth is nice, but itâs more about what I can do with it.â
Reggie leans forward, intrigued. âAnd what is it you want to do?â
You pause, realizing youâve never really articulated this to anyone before. âI want to make a difference. Real, lasting change. These men, theyâve all built empires in their own ways, but theyâve been limited by their own mortality. I donât have those limitations yet. I can take what theyâve given me and create something ... more.â
Reggieâs eyes light up with understanding. âAh, now I see why I was drawn to you. Youâre not just a pretty face or a clever mind. Youâre a visionary.â
You feel a flush of pride at his words. âI try to be. Each husband has taught me something new, given me tools I never had before. Harold showed me the potential of technology. George taught me strategy. Joaquin, the importance of passion in oneâs work. Dmitri, how to navigate the murky waters of international business. William gave me a glimpse into old-world power structures. And Hiroshi ... well, he opened my eyes to the future.â
Reggie nods slowly. âAnd what have I taught you, I wonder?â
You smile softly. âPatience, Reggie. The long game. And the value of a good sense of humor in the face of adversity.â
He chuckles weakly. âWell, Iâm glad I could contribute something to your education. Now, about this F1 team ...â
You lean in, eager to hear more. âYes?â
âItâs more than just a racing team, you know. Itâs a pinnacle of engineering, a testament to human ingenuity and the constant push for improvement. I think youâll find it fits quite well with your ambitions.â
You nod slowly, mind already racing with possibilities. âI can see that. The technology, the global platform, the prestige ...â
Reggie grins. âExactly. And who knows? Maybe youâll find husband number eight in the paddock.â
You laugh, shaking your head. âOh, Reggie. Always thinking ahead, arenât you?â
He winks. âSomeone has to. Now, promise me one thing.â
âAnything,â you say, and youâre surprised to find you mean it.
âWhen youâre accepting that championship trophy â because I know you will â wear something fabulous. Give those stuffy old men in the paddock something to talk about.â
You canât help but grin. âOh, donât worry. I intend to shake things up a bit.â
Reggie nods approvingly. âThatâs my girl. Now, I think I need to rest for a bit. But donât go far. I want to hear all about your plans for world domination when I wake up.â
As you watch Reggie drift off to sleep, you canât help but feel a mix of emotions. Sadness at the impending loss of this charming old rogue, excitement at the unexpected opportunity heâs given you, and a renewed sense of purpose.
You glance at your reflection in the ornate mirror across the room. Lady Y/N Y/L/N, soon-to-be racing magnate. It has a nice ring to it.
As you settle back into your chair, you begin to plan your next moves. The motorsport world wonât know what hit it.
***
The sleek boardroom of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team headquarters buzzes with hushed conversation. Around the polished mahogany table, team executives and board members huddle in small groups, their voices low and urgent.
Toto catches snippets of conversation as he reviews his notes for the meeting.
âDid you hear? Sheâs actually coming today,â whispers Bradley, the teamâs financial officer.
Sarah, head of marketing, leans in. âI canât believe Reginald left her his stake. What was he thinking?â
âProbably wasnât thinking with his head, if you know what I mean,â chuckles Thomas, the technical director.
Toto clears his throat, silencing the gossip. âLetâs keep things professional, shall we? We have important matters to discuss today.â
As if on cue, the boardroom door swings open. The room falls into an immediate, almost eerie silence as you stride in, turning heads with every click of your Manolo Blahnik heels against the polished floor.
Toto finds himself holding his breath, caught off guard by your presence. Heâs seen photos, of course, but they didnât do you justice. Your tailored Armani suit exudes power and confidence, while your eyes scan the room with a shrewd intelligence that sends a shiver down his spine.
You take your seat at the far end of the table, directly opposite Toto. âGood morning, everyone. I hope Iâm not late.â
Your voice, smooth as silk with a hint of amusement, breaks the spell. The room erupts into a flurry of awkward greetings and nervous coughs.
Toto clears his throat again, trying to regain control of the situation. âNot at all. We were just about to begin. Welcome, Lady Worthington. Weâre honored to have you join us today.â
You smile, a dazzling display that doesnât quite reach your eyes. âPlease, call me Y/N. Weâre all colleagues here, after all.â
Toto nods, fighting to keep his composure. âOf course, Y/N. Shall we begin with the agenda?â
As the meeting progresses, Toto finds himself increasingly distracted. Heâs used to being the most commanding presence in any room, but your arrival has shifted the dynamic entirely. Every time you speak, offering insights or asking pointed questions, the rest of the board seems to hold its breath.
âIâve been reviewing our sustainability initiatives,â you say during a lull in the conversation. âWhile I applaud our efforts so far, I believe we could be doing more. Formula 1 has an unique platform to drive innovation in green technologies. We should be leading the charge, not just following along.â
Bradley shifts uncomfortably in his seat. âWith all due respect, Lady- I mean, Y/N, implementing new sustainability measures could be quite costly. We need to consider the bottom line.â
You lean forward, fixing Bradley with an intense gaze. âAnd what about the cost of falling behind? Of being seen as out of touch with the concerns of younger fans? Sometimes, you have to spend money to make money.â
Toto finds himself nodding in agreement before he even realizes it. âY/N raises an excellent point. Perhaps we should form a task force to explore more aggressive sustainability options.â
You flash him a grateful smile, and Toto feels his heart skip a beat. He quickly looks down at his notes, trying to regain his composure.
As the meeting continues, you consistently challenge the status quo, pushing for bolder strategies and innovative approaches. Toto watches in fascination as you deftly navigate the complex dynamics of the board, alternating between charm and steel as the situation demands.
During a discussion about driver development, you interject again. âIâve been looking into our junior driver program, and I think weâre missing opportunities. Weâre too focused on traditional racing backgrounds. What about sim racers? Or scouting karters from developing countries? We could be tapping into a whole new pool of talent.â
Sarah, the marketing head, perks up at this. âThatâs ... actually a brilliant idea. It could really broaden our appeal, especially in emerging markets.â
You nod appreciatively. âExactly. And imagine the stories we could tell. The sim racer who became an F1 champion or the kid from a small village who rose to the top of motorsport. Thatâs the kind of narrative that builds brand loyalty and inspires the next generation of fans.â
Toto finds himself leaning forward, completely engrossed. âI love this direction. Y/N, would you be willing to work with Sarah to develop a proposal for expanding our driver search?â
âOf course,â you reply with a smile that makes Totoâs pulse quicken. âIâd be delighted.â
As the meeting winds down, Toto realizes that the entire dynamic of the board has shifted. The initial wariness towards you has given way to a mixture of respect and curiosity. Even those who seemed most skeptical at the start are now hanging on your every word.
âWell,â Toto says, glancing at his watch, âI think that concludes our agenda for today. Unless anyone has any other matters to discuss?â
The room is silent for a moment before you speak up. âActually, if I may, Iâd like to address the elephant in the room.â
A tense hush falls over the gathering. Toto holds his breath, unsure of whatâs coming next.
You stand, your posture relaxed but commanding. âIâm aware of the rumors and speculation surrounding my ... personal life. I want to assure all of you that my presence here is purely professional. Iâm not here to cause drama or upheaval. Iâm here because I believe in the potential of this team and this sport. I hope that over time, youâll come to judge me based on my contributions, not on gossip or hearsay.â
The sincerity in your voice is palpable, and Toto can see the effect it has on the room. Shoulders relax, expressions soften. Thereâs a collective exhale, as if a weight has been lifted.
âThank you for your honesty,â Toto says, standing as well. âI think I speak for everyone when I say we look forward to working with you and seeing what fresh perspectives you can bring to the team.â
Thereâs a murmur of agreement around the table. As the meeting officially adjourns, people begin to gather their things and file out of the room. Toto notices that several board members linger, clearly hoping to have a word with you. He feels an unexpected twinge of jealousy.
Before he can second-guess himself, Toto makes his way around the table to where youâre chatting with Sarah about the junior driver program idea.
âExcuse me,â he says, feeling uncharacteristically nervous. âY/N, I was wondering if I could have a word?â
You turn to him with a smile that makes his heart race. âOf course. What can I do for you?â
He takes a deep breath, acutely aware of the curious glances from the remaining board members. âI was impressed by your insights today. I think thereâs a lot we could discuss further about the future direction of the team. Would you perhaps be interested in continuing this conversation over dinner?â
A hush falls over the remaining occupants of the room. Toto can practically feel the weight of their stares, but he keeps his eyes fixed on you.
You raise an eyebrow, a mix of surprise and amusement playing across your features. âDinner? My, my, Toto. Aren���t you afraid of me? I do have quite the reputation, you know.â
Thereâs a challenge in your voice, but also a hint of vulnerability that catches Toto off guard. He realizes that beneath your confident exterior, youâre testing him, gauging his true intentions.
Toto meets your gaze steadily, his voice low but firm. âI donât put much stock in rumors. I prefer to form my own opinions based on what I see and experience. And what Iâve seen today is a brilliant, passionate individual who could be a tremendous asset to this team. Thatâs the person Iâm interested in getting to know better.â
The room seems to hold its breath, waiting for your response. You study Toto for a long moment, your expression unreadable. Then, slowly, a genuine smile spreads across your face.
âWell, in that case, Iâd be delighted to have dinner with you. Shall we say eight oâclock?â
Toto feels a rush of relief and excitement. âEight oâclock sounds perfect. I know just the place.â
As you gather your things and prepare to leave, Toto canât help but feel like heâs standing on the precipice of something monumental. Heâs built his career on calculated risks, on seeing potential where others see danger. Looking at you, he knows that this might be the biggest gamble of his life.
But as you turn to give him one last smile before exiting the boardroom, Toto is certain of one thing: itâs a risk heâs more than willing to take.
***
The Monaco Grand Prix paddock buzzes with excitement, a hive of activity as teams prepare for the most glamorous race on the Formula 1 calendar. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell huddle in a quiet corner of the Mercedes garage, their voices low and urgent.
âIâm telling you, mate, somethingâs not right,â George insists, his eyes darting around to ensure theyâre not overheard. âHave you seen the way Totoâs been acting lately? Itâs like heâs under some kind of spell.â
Lewis nods grimly, his usual pre-race focus replaced by concern. âI know what you mean. Ever since she came into the picture, itâs like heâs a different person. Always distracted, making decisions that donât quite add up.â
âExactly!â George exclaims, then quickly lowers his voice again. âAnd have you noticed how sheâs always around now? At every meeting, every strategy session. Itâs like sheâs trying to learn all our secrets.â
Lewis furrows his brow, deep in thought. âYou donât think ... I mean, surely she wouldnât actually try to ...â
âKill him?â George finishes, his voice barely above a whisper. âI donât know, mate. But look at her track record. Seven husbands, all dead within months of marrying her. And now sheâs got her claws into Toto.â
As if summoned by their conversation, you appear at the entrance of the garage, Toto at your side. The team principalâs hand rests comfortably on the small of your back as he leads you through the bustling workspace.
Lewis and George fall silent, watching intently as you make your way towards them. Your designer sundress and oversized sunglasses scream understated elegance, but to the two drivers, you might as well be wearing a black widowâs web.
âGood morning,â Toto calls out cheerfully. âReady for qualifying?â
Lewis forces a smile, his eyes never leaving you. âMorning, Toto. Yeah, we were just discussing strategy.â
You step forward, flashing a dazzling smile. âI hope Iâm not interrupting anything important. Iâm still learning all the intricacies of race weekends.â
George clears his throat, trying to keep his voice steady. âNot at all. We were just finishing up.â
Toto beams, looking from you to his drivers with pride. âIsnât it wonderful having Y/N here? Sheâs already brought so many fresh ideas to the team. I donât know how we managed without her.â
You laugh, a sound that sends chills down Lewis and Georgeâs spines. âOh, darling, youâre exaggerating. Iâm sure these boys were doing just fine before I came along.â
As you speak, your hand reaches up to smooth Totoâs collar, a gesture that seems innocent enough but makes both drivers tense.
Lewis clears his throat. âActually, Toto, could we have a quick word? About the, uh, tire strategy?â
Toto looks surprised but nods. âOf course. Y/N, would you mind giving us a moment?â
âNot at all,â you reply smoothly. âIâll just go chat with the mechanics. Iâm fascinated by all this technology.â
As you saunter away, Lewis and George exchange a meaningful glance. This is their chance.
âToto,â Lewis begins, choosing his words carefully. âWeâre a bit concerned. About you, actually.â
Totoâs brow furrows in confusion. âConcerned? What do you mean?â
George jumps in, his words tumbling out in a rush. âItâs just that ... well, things have been different since you started seeing her. And given her history ...â
âHer history?â Toto repeats, his voice taking on an edge. âWhat exactly are you implying?â
Lewis takes a deep breath. âToto, we care about you. And we canât help but notice that Y/Nâs previous partners have all met with ... unfortunate ends.â
For a moment, Toto just stares at them, his expression unreadable. Then, to their surprise, he bursts out laughing.
âOh, boys,â he chuckles, shaking his head. âI appreciate your concern, truly. But I assure you, itâs misplaced. Y/N has been nothing but a positive influence on both me and the team.â
George persists, his voice urgent. âBut Toto, you have to admit, the pattern is alarming. Seven husbands, all dead within months of marriage. And now sheâs here, learning all about our team, our strategies ...â
Totoâs amusement fades, replaced by a stern look. âThatâs enough. I understand youâre worried, but I wonât have you spreading baseless rumors. Y/N is here because sheâs a part-owner of this team and because I invited her. End of discussion.â
As Toto walks away, Lewis and George share a look of dismay.
âHeâs in too deep,â Lewis mutters. âWe need to do something.â
George nods grimly. âWe canât let her hurt him. Or the team. We need a plan.â
Throughout the day, as qualifying unfolds, Lewis and George find themselves constantly distracted. Every time they catch a glimpse of you in the garage or on the pit wall, their imaginations run wild.
During a brief break between sessions, they overhear a snippet of conversation between you and one of the engineers.
âSo, if something were to go wrong with the car during the race,â youâre saying, âwhat would be the most catastrophic point of failure?â
The engineer launches into a detailed explanation of various mechanical vulnerabilities, unaware of the horrified looks on the driversâ faces.
âSheâs gathering intel,â George whispers to Lewis. âProbably planning some sort of accident for Toto.â
Lewis nods, his jaw set with determination. âWe need to warn him again. Make him see reason.â
But their attempts to get Toto alone prove futile. You seem to be constantly by his side, your hand on his arm, whispering in his ear. To an outsider, it might look like the actions of a loving girlfriend, but to Lewis and George, every gesture seems calculated and sinister.
As the day wears on, their paranoia grows. They start seeing threats everywhere. When you hand Toto a bottle of water, theyâre convinced itâs poisoned. When you suggest he take a look at something in the back of the garage, theyâre sure youâre luring him away to do him harm.
Finally, as the sun begins to set over the Monaco harbor, they decide they canât wait any longer. They need to confront you directly.
They find you alone in the hospitality area, reviewing some papers. As they approach, you look up with a smile that doesnât quite reach your eyes.
âLewis, George,â you greet them warmly. âExcellent qualifying today. You must be pleased.â
Lewis takes a deep breath, steeling himself. âCut the act. We know what youâre up to.â
Your expression doesnât change, but something flickers in your eyes. âIâm not sure I understand. What exactly am I up to?â
George steps forward, his voice low and intense. âWe know about your husbands. All seven of them. And weâre not going to let you add Toto to that list.â
For a moment, you just stare at them, your face unreadable. Then, to their surprise, you burst out laughing.
âOh,â you chuckle, shaking your head. âIs that what this is all about? You think Iâm here to kill Toto?â
Lewis and George exchange confused glances, thrown off by your reaction.
You lean in, your voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. âLet me tell you a little secret. Those men? They were all terminally ill when I married them. It was a business arrangement, pure and simple. They got to spend their last months with a young, beautiful wife, and I got their fortunes. No foul play involved.â
The drivers stare at you, speechless. You continue, your tone becoming more serious.
âAs for Toto, well, thatâs different. For the first time in my life, Iâve found someone I genuinely care for. Someone who sees me for who I am, not just what I can offer. Iâm not here to hurt him or the team. Iâm here because I want to be part of something meaningful.â
Lewis and George exchange uncertain glances, their convictions shaken.
âBut ... all the questions about the car, the team strategies ...â George begins.
You roll your eyes, a hint of amusement in your voice. âIâm a part-owner of this team now, remember? Of course Iâm trying to learn everything I can. How else can I contribute?â
As the truth of your words sinks in, Lewis and George begin to feel a creeping sense of embarrassment. Theyâve let their imaginations and preconceptions run wild, seeing threats where there were none.
âI ... we ...â Lewis stammers, struggling to find the right words.
You hold up a hand, stopping him. âItâs alright. I understand. My reputation precedes me, and you were just looking out for Toto. I can respect that.â
George rubs the back of his neck, sheepish. âWe may have gotten a bit carried away. Iâm sorry.â
You smile, and this time it reaches your eyes. âApology accepted. Now, what do you say we put this behind us and focus on winning tomorrowâs race?â
As if on cue, Toto appears, looking between the three of you with curiosity. âEverything alright here?â
You stand, moving to his side and slipping your arm through his. âEverythingâs perfect, darling. In fact, I think Lewis and George were just about to share some ideas they had for the race strategy. Werenât you, boys?â
Lewis and George nod, grateful for the out youâve given them. As they launch into a discussion about tire management and overtaking opportunities, they canât help but marvel at how wrong theyâve been.
Watching you interact with Toto, they see not a black widow spinning her web, but a woman genuinely in love, bringing out the best in their team principal. They realize that sometimes, people can surprise you. And sometimes, the most unexpected additions to a team can be the most valuable.
***
The soft glow of chandeliers bathes the exclusive MonĂŠgasque restaurant in warm light, casting elegant shadows across the faces of Monacoâs elite. Grigori Volkov, a grizzled veteran of the Russian underworld, sips his vodka, his weathered face a mask of careful neutrality as he surveys the room.
His eyes narrow as they land on a familiar figure across the crowded dining area. It canât be, he thinks, leaning forward for a better look. But thereâs no mistaking that face, those eyes that have haunted his dreams and nightmares for years.
You.
Grigori watches as you laugh, your hand resting lightly on the arm of a tall, distinguished-looking man. He recognizes him vaguely. But what catches Grigori off guard is the easy intimacy between you, the matching wedding bands glinting in the low light.
For a moment, Grigori considers slipping out unnoticed. But curiosity gets the better of him. He signals the waiter, ordering another round of drinks to be sent to your table.
As the waiter approaches with the drinks, Grigori sees your posture stiffen slightly, your eyes scanning the room until they lock onto his. He raises his glass in a small salute, a wry smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
You lean in, whispering something to Toto. The man looks surprised but nods, and together you make your way towards Grigoriâs table.
âGrigori,â you greet him, your voice a mix of warmth and wariness. âItâs been a long time.â
Grigori stands, bowing slightly. âIndeed it has, my dear. Youâre looking well. And who might this be?â
Toto extends his hand, his grip firm. âToto Wolff. And you are?â
âAn old friend of your wifeâs,â Grigori replies smoothly, noting the flicker of surprise in Totoâs eyes at the word âwifeâ. âGrigori Volkov. I knew Y/N back in her Russian days.â
You gesture to the empty chairs. âMay we join you?â
Grigori nods, waving expansively. âPlease, be my guests.â
As you settle in, Grigori canât help but study Toto more closely. Heâs younger than expected, vital and alert. Not at all what heâd imagined for your latest conquest.
âSo, Toto,â Grigori begins, his accent thick with amusement, âhow long have you and our dear Y/N been married?â
Toto smiles, his hand finding yours on the table. âJust over two years now. Best decision I ever made.â
Grigoriâs eyebrows shoot up. âTwo years? My, my. Thatâs quite impressive.â
You shoot him a warning look, but Toto just looks confused. âIâm not sure I follow. Why is that impressive?â
Grigori chuckles, taking a long sip of his vodka. âOh, forgive me. I just meant that Y/N here has always been something of a ... how do you say ... free spirit? Never one to be tied down for long.â
You interject quickly, âPeople change, Grigori. Iâve found what I was looking for.â
Grigori nods, his eyes twinkling with mischief. âIndeed they do. And what of your ... other interests? The ones you inherited from dear Dmitri?â
Totoâs brow furrows. âDmitri? Iâm afraid I donât know much about Y/Nâs ex-husbands.â
âEx-husbands?â Grigori repeats, feigning surprise. âOh, but Dmitri was special, wasnât he? After all, not every day one inherits a slice of the Bratva.â
The color drains from Totoâs face as he turns to you. âThe Bratva? As in, the Russian mob?â
You sigh, shooting Grigori a glare that could freeze vodka. âItâs complicated, darling. And very much in the past.â
Grigori leans back, thoroughly enjoying the drama unfolding before him. âOh, come now, Y/N. Surely your husband deserves to know the truth? About your colorful past, your string of deceased husbands, your unexpected rise to power in certain ... shall we say, unofficial circles?â
Toto looks between you and Grigori, his expression a mix of confusion and growing concern. âY/N, what is he talking about?â
You take a deep breath, squeezing Totoâs hand. âToto, there are parts of my past I havenât told you about. Not because I wanted to keep secrets, but because I wanted to leave that life behind.â
Grigori interjects, his voice dripping with false sympathy. âOh, but my dear, can one ever truly leave such a life behind? Especially when one has risen to such ... prominent positions?â
Totoâs eyes narrow as he looks at Grigori. âAnd what exactly is your role in all this?â
Grigori smiles, all teeth and no warmth. âLetâs just say Iâm an old associate of Dmitriâs. And by extension, of Y/Nâs. Though I must admit, Iâm surprised to see you still among the living, Mr. Wolff. Our dear Y/N has quite a reputation, you know.â
You slam your hand on the table, your voice low and dangerous. âEnough, Grigori. Thatâs not who I am anymore.â
Grigori holds up his hands in mock surrender. âOf course, of course. I meant no offense. Iâm merely ... surprised. After all, your previous husbands werenât quite so fortunate. Or so young and vigorous.â
Totoâs jaw clenches, his eyes darting between you and Grigori. âI think itâs time we left.â
As you stand to leave, Grigori calls out, âOh, but weâve only just begun to catch up. Thereâs so much your husband doesnât know, Y/N. About the power you wield, the empire you inherited. Donât you think he deserves to know the truth about the woman he married?â
You turn back, your eyes flashing with a mix of anger and something deeper, more dangerous. âThe truth, Grigori, is that I left that life behind. I found something real, something worth living for. And if you or anyone else tries to drag me back into that world, youâll regret it.â
Grigori leans forward, his voice dropping to a whisper. âIs that a threat, my dear?â
You smile, cold and sharp. âConsider it a friendly warning. From one old friend to another.â
As you and Toto walk away, Grigori canât help but feel a shiver run down his spine. Heâd forgotten, in the years since youâd left Russia, just how formidable you could be.
He watches as you and Toto have an intense, whispered conversation by the exit. To his surprise, instead of storming out, Toto nods, takes your hand, and leads you back to Grigoriâs table.
âMr. Volkov,â Toto says, his voice steady and controlled, âI think itâs time we had an honest conversation. About Y/Nâs past, about your ... association, and about how we move forward from here.â
Grigori raises an eyebrow, impressed despite himself. âWell, well. It seems youâve found yourself a man with a spine, Y/N. Very well, letâs talk.â
As the three of you settle back into your seats, Grigori canât help but feel a grudging respect for Toto. Most men would have run for the hills by now, but here he is, ready to face the truth head-on.
âSo,â Grigori begins, pouring fresh vodka for all of you, âwhere shall we start? With Dmitri? With the Bratva? Or perhaps with the mysterious deaths of Y/Nâs previous husbands?â
Toto takes a sip of vodka, his eyes never leaving Grigoriâs. âLetâs start with the truth. All of it.â
You sigh, your hand finding Totoâs under the table. âAlright. Dmitri was my fifth husband. He was a high-ranking member of the Bratva, and when he died, I inherited his position and his connections.â
Grigori nods approvingly. âSheâs being modest. Y/N didnât just inherit Dmitriâs position â she expanded it. Forged new alliances, eliminated rivals. She became a force to be reckoned with in our world.â
Toto looks at you, his expression unreadable. âAnd the other husbands?â
You meet his gaze steadily. âThey were all older men, all terminally ill. It was a business arrangement. They got to spend their last months with a young wife, and I got their fortunes. No foul play, I swear.â
Grigori chuckles. âOh, come now. There were rumors, whispers of poison, of accidents arranged just so ...â
You whirl on him, your eyes flashing. âRumors started by people like you. People who couldnât believe a woman could gain power without resorting to murder.â
Toto squeezes your hand, his voice gentle. âWhy didnât you tell me any of this?â
You turn back to him, your expression softening. âBecause I wanted to leave it all behind. When I met you, I saw a chance at a real life, a real relationship. I didnât want my past to taint that.â
Grigori watches this exchange with growing fascination. Heâs never seen you like this â vulnerable, open, genuinely in love. Itâs... unsettling.
âAnd now?â He asks, unable to keep the curiosity from his voice. âWhat becomes of your empire, Y/N? Your power? Your connections?â
You straighten, your voice firm. âIâve been systematically dismantling it all. Using the resources to fund legitimate businesses, charitable foundations. Iâm out. For good.â
Grigori leans back, genuinely surprised. âYouâre serious, arenât you? Youâre really walking away from it all.â
Toto speaks up, his voice steady. âWeâre building something new together. Something honest, something we can be proud of.â
Grigori studies them both for a long moment, then throws back the last of his vodka. âWell, Iâll be damned. Youâve actually done it. Youâve found a way out.â
You nod, a small smile playing at your lips. âI have. And Iâd appreciate it if youâd spread the word. Y/N Wolff is retired. Permanently.â
Grigori stands, straightening his jacket. âConsider it done, my dear. But know this â there will always be those who remember who you were, what you were capable of. Be careful.â
As he turns to leave, Toto calls out, âMr. Volkov?â
Grigori pauses, looking back. âYes?â
Totoâs voice is calm, but thereâs steel beneath the surface. âIf anyone from Y/Nâs past tries to cause trouble for us, theyâll have to deal with me. And I assure you, I can be just as formidable as my wife when necessary.â
Grigori studies Toto for a moment, then breaks into a broad grin. âI believe you, Mr. Wolff. I really do. Take care of her, wonât you? Sheâs one of a kind.â
As Grigori walks away, he canât help but shake his head in amazement. You, the Black Widow of the Bratva, settled down and in love. Will wonders never cease?
He glances back one last time to see you and Toto deep in conversation, your hands intertwined on the table. Thereâs an openness to your expression that heâs never seen before, a vulnerability that speaks volumes.
For the first time in years, Grigori feels a twinge of envy. Not for your power or your wealth, but for the genuine connection you seem to have found. As he steps out into the cool Monaco night, he wonders if perhaps itâs time for him to consider a change of his own.
After all, if the infamous Y/N can find redemption and true love, maybe thereâs hope for an old dog like him yet.

When we grow old ln4
Pairing : Lando Norris x Female!reader
Summary: Interviewer asks you how you see your relationship in the future, and your answer leaves everyone speech less.
Warning: Fluff, people being disgustingly in love, bad english.
This is based of an interview i watched on tiktok, and on Kylie's and Travis's video on GQ
masterlist
Lando and Y/N had been together for almost a year now. From the moment they met, it was as if the universe had aligned just for them. They spent nearly every moment they could together, whether at his apartment or hers. Y/N never missed a race, always there in the stands or watching anxiously from the paddock, her heart swelling with pride. She was his biggest supporter, not just on the track but in every aspect of his life.
For Y/N, Lando was everything she had ever dreamed of in a partner. She was convinced that he was her soulmate, the one she was meant to spend her life with. Nothing and no one could make her believe otherwise. Lando wasnât shy about showing his love for her either. He spoke about her with a tenderness that made everyone around him smile. Whenever he had the chance to mention her, he did, his eyes lighting up with every word. He defended her fiercely whenever someone had something negative to say about her or their relationship. Y/N was deeply in love with him, and every day, she hoped that he felt the same way.
When Y/N received an invitation to join Lando for an interview, she was genuinely surprised. She wasnât accustomed to the spotlight; her world had always been more private. Although she had social media, most of her followers were there because of Lando.
And so, she found herself seated in a chair across from him, a gentle hum of anticipation in the air. Someone adjusted the mic on her shirt, making sure her voice would be captured clearly. As she sat there, waiting for the cameras to start rolling, she stole a glance at Lando. He looked at her with that familiar warmth, the kind that made her feel like she was the only person in the room.
"Hey everyone, Iâm Lando, and this is my girlfriend Y/N. Weâre here with GQ, ready to answer some questions about our relationship," Lando began, his smile wide and genuine, the kind that made Y/Nâs heart skip a beat.
âSo, first question: how did we meet?â Y/N read aloud from a card she had been given before the interview. She looked at Lando, a playful glint in her eye. âDo you want to answer that?â
âYeah.â Lando smiled softly at her, his gaze full of affection. âFor those who donât know, Y/N here is McLarenâs official Social Media Manager. She started working with the team about a year and a half ago, and yeah, I met her during her very first meeting with us, and weâve been inseparable ever since.â
âThatâs correct, Mister Norris,â Y/N said, her tone light but filled with pride. Lando raised his hand for a high five, and she gladly met it.
âOkay, my turn. What was our first date, and what was our last? And which one did you enjoy the most?â he asked, tossing the flashcard behind him with a playful grin.
âOur first date was when you took me out to an Italian restaurant. You dressed all fancy,â she laughed, her eyes sparkling at the memory. âAnd the last one was two days ago; we went to your yacht and just sat there, watching the sunset.â Her voice softened, a smile tugging at her lips. âI canât pick which one I preferred; honestly, every moment with you feels like a blessing.â
Landoâs smile grew tender. âThatâs really sweet, baby.â
âOkay, next question!â Y/N announced with a playful energy that made Lando chuckle. âWhat are three things you love and hate about each other?â
âWell, that oneâs easy,â Lando replied instantly. âI love your smile, your eyes, and your laugh. They light up my world. As for the three things I hate⌠Iâd have to say your impatience, how easily you get mad, and the fact that you hold grudges.â
âThat was quick,â Y/N said, raising an amused eyebrow. âI guess itâs my turn. So, I love your determinationâhow you never give up on what you do, even when it seems impossible. I love that you have a big heart and wear it on your sleeve. And your eyes⌠you have the most gorgeous eyes Iâve ever seen, and I could get lost in them forever. Now, for the things I hate: you tend to take things too personally, you can be just a tad too flirty, and⌠your sense of humor.â
âMy sense of humor? Whatâs wrong with it?â he asked, feigning shock.
âYouâre just not that funny, baby,â Y/N teased, shrugging playfully, her eyes twinkling with affection.
Lando laughed, shaking his head. âAlright, alright, Iâll work on my jokes.â
Y/N picked up the next flashcard. âHereâs a good one: Whatâs something surprising youâve learned about me since we started dating?â
Lando paused for a moment, thinking. âHonestly, I think the most surprising thing Iâve learned is just how incredibly strong you are. I mean, I always knew you were tough, but seeing how you handle everythingâwhether itâs work stress, being in the public eye, or supporting me through all the ups and downsâhas been amazing. You never let anything break you, and thatâs something I admire so much.â
Y/N felt her heart swell with emotion. âThank you, Lando. That means a lot coming from you.â
She cleared her throat, trying to keep her voice steady as she read the next question. âWhatâs your favorite memory of us together?â
âThatâs a tough one,â Lando said, smiling as he reminisced. âBut I think it would have to be that weekend we spent in the countryside, just the two of us. No cameras, no phones, no distractionsâjust us. We went hiking, had a picnic by the lake, and at night, we watched the stars. It was simple, but it was perfect. It was one of those moments where I just felt⌠complete.â
Y/N nodded, her eyes misty with tears. âI remember that weekend. It was beautiful.â
Lando reached out, taking her hand in his. âWe should do that more oftenâjust escape from everything and be together.â
âDefinitely,â Y/N agreed, squeezing his hand. âOkay, hereâs the next question: Whatâs something you wish we could do together in the future?â
Lando thought for a moment before answering. âIâd love for us to travel more, see the world together. There are so many places I want to explore with you, and I think it would be amazing to share those experiences. But more than that, I just want us to keep building a life together, no matter where we go.â
Y/N smiled softly. âThat sounds perfect.â
âAlright, last question,â Lando said, his tone growing more serious. âAnd this oneâs just for you, Y/N: how do you see this relationship evolving?â
Y/N took a deep breath, her heart beating a little faster as she thought about the future. âOh, thatâs a hard one. How do I see this relationship evolving? Well, first of all, Iâd like for us to stay together, to grow old⌠without sounding like a complete psycho,â she began, her voice wavering slightly with emotion.
âYouâre fine; go on,â he encouraged her, his eyes never leaving hers, filled with a deep, unwavering love.
âIf one day we end up on different pathsâand I really hope that never happens, because seriously, youâre everything to meâI know I wonât want anyone else,â she said, her voice soft but sincere. âBut if life does pull us apart, I donât want us to hate each other or lose all the good memories we made. I want you to remember me with a smile, and Iâll always wish you the best, because Iâd never want anything bad for you. Youâre my first real love, Lando, and what we have is something I know Iâll never feel with anyone else.â
She paused for a moment, her heart racing as she took a deep breath. âSo, with that said,â she added with a little laugh, âletâs just agree to never break up, okay? Because honestly, that would be super awkward and totally heartbreaking for both of us.â
Her words hung in the air, filled with the raw, honest emotion of young love, and Lando couldnât help but smile at her attempt to lighten the mood, even though he knew how deeply she meant every word.
He was quiet for a moment, letting her words sink in. He looked at Y/N, his eyes filled with love and something deeperâdetermination.
âGQ, I think weâre done here,â Lando finally said, his voice steady but with a clear edge of emotion. âBecause what I have to say now, I want her to know itâs real.â
He turned to Y/N, taking her hands in his as if grounding himself in the moment. âYouâve always been the one for me, Y/N. From the very beginning, I knew there was something about you that I couldnât let go of, and that hasnât changed. Hearing you talk about different paths⌠it scares me, because I donât want to imagine my life without you in it.â
He paused, his thumb tracing gentle circles on the back of her hand. âBut I need you to know that Iâm not going anywhere. Iâm not just in love with you; Iâm committed to us. Iâm committed to making sure that we keep growing together, facing whatever life throws our way. I canât promise that everything will be perfect, but I can promise that Iâll always fight for us.â
Landoâs voice softened, his gaze never leaving hers. âYouâre my first love, Y/N, and I want you to be my last. I want to share every moment, every milestone, and every challenge with you. I want us to look back one day, gray and wrinkled, and say, âWe did this together.â Because youâre it for me. You always have been, and you always will be.â
He leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, letting the moment linger. When he pulled back, there was a quiet intensity in his eyes, a promise unspoken but deeply felt.
âSo letâs stop worrying about different paths,â he whispered, âand focus on the one weâre on, together. Because Iâm not letting go, not now, not ever.â
the end
plot twist : he cheated, so they broke up... men đľ (jkđ)

Normalcy
A/n deadpool and wolverine drabble bc the movie was a little too good
Summary: Still reeling from the loss of your powers, you struggle to hold it together inside the TVA's void. Thankfully, you find an uncharacteristically peaceful distraction in your old friend Deadpool and in the wolverine variant who wants nothing to do with you.
Warnings/info: reader is a (former) avenger (bc i love the avengers <3), reader is described as having similar powers to wanda and having trained with her (bc i love wanda), implied beginning of an accidental love triangle if you squint ig, maybe too much lore for a drabble (?), me writing for characters for the first time so be nice đ
----
The lines etched into your palms do not bend and twist to spell out secrets, there are no messages worth decoding pressed into your skin. Knowing this is not enough to stop you from staring at your hands like if you could just think about it hard enough...
"There you are, Peanut." The words are so warm you're briefly pulled out of your internal angst. You straighten, head lifting slightly and arms crossing in front of your chest. "Thought I lost you."
Wade continues forward until he's directly in front of you. He pauses, watching you with an unabashed openness that you'd only ever allow him to get away with. "Kidding," he tries, "I'd never lose you."
The familiarity of the casual affection eases you further, the corner of your mouth tugging itself upwards. "I was like 15 feet away from you."
"Sorry for caring." It's his go to comeback when it comes to defending the displays of affection you have the audacity to find overdramatic.
You blink, lips parting despite your lack of response. The world has felt a little slower these last few days, moving at a pace that leaves you with no choice but to reflect. Maybe it's the void.
"Hey," his voice feels a little flatter without his usual humor, "Are you okay?"
You let out a breath, shocked by this new low. Sure, you've known Wade for awhile and you've both seen each other through plenty of stages, but he's never felt the need to attempt a genuine pep talk for you. He's never struck you as the pep talk sort...for anyone. Do you really seem that off?
It's bad enough that your identity crisis has stolen the abilities that would have helped your trio pop out of the void with no real fanfare, you can't also make your insecurities everyone else's problem. "Yeah." The response doesn't feel convincing, but with Wade wearing the Deadpool mask, it's hard to be sure. "Just y'know...we're in a void and our reality might be ripped apart, so I've been better."
He's still watching you with a level of focus that's unnerving. You've gotten used to his familiarity, his lack of care for personal space or the social rules around watching people. "You're doing it again."
"Seducing you with my ability to have a heart to heart while looking this good in my suit?"
You sigh in an attempt to dismiss your slight smile. Happy or sad, superhero that once fought Thanos or regular person that can't regulate their emotions, Wade always treats you the same. "The staring thing. You said you'd stop."
"No, you said I'd stop." The correction is a return to what you're used to. He takes a step towards you, his proximity now forcing you to tilt your chin up slightly to look him in the eye. "I'd never promise to look at you less."
"Comforting."
He angles his chin downwards, making the limited distance feel more significant. "I thought so." For a moment, he's quiet in a way that doesn't feel very him. "Are you sure you're...good?" His hesitance is another reminder that this is far out of his element. "I know this is your first..." Wade's rarely careful, only ever treading lightly on the one subject you never want to bring. "Outing, since..."
"I lost my powers."
Wade goes quiet again. If this conversation is as inevitable as it seems, a part of you wishes it could have come up elsewhere. Maybe in your shared apartment, definitely without the mask so you could better interpret his reactions. It's not often you keep secrets from him, but the hollowness you feel knowing the part of yourself you've lost isn't something you can just share.
It's more than just about missing your party tricks, it's about losing a part of yourself. They were all that was left of your time with the Avengers, of what Wanda taught you before Westview.
He lets out a breath. "They're not lost." You raise your eyebrows slightly, giving him a look meant to caution him against sympathetic optimism. "We don't know that."
He seems so happy to be able to tell you that there's no proof that any and all magical abilities have been flushed out of your system, you don't have it in you to remind him that that's mainly because you have no one to ask. What's left of the Avengers and your government connections either barely understand what you were or are untrustworthy.
"Educated wish?"
His mask muffles a slight gasp. You press your lips together in an attempt to resist smiling. "The last one worked out great."
Your eyebrows pull together skeptically, a reminder that the two of you are still technically in the middle of the last educated wish he attempted to speak into existence. "Didn't Wolverine stab you multiple times--"
He cuts you off with a heavy sigh. "If I took getting stabbed personally, do you know where we'd be?"
In a reality where Wade holds grudges over those kinds of things, you wouldn't be anything to each other, except maybe enemies. You've never pulled a knife or sword or anything sharp on him, but when you first met he did startle you before you had a total grip on your abilities, which resulted in him getting thrown through a wall.
"I never stabbed you."
His hand finds your shoulder. You let him drag his thumb against against the fabric of your suit. "And that's how I know you really love me, Peanut."
You roll your eyes in an attempt to dislodge the warmth that settles in the pit of your stomach. The last thing Wade needs is encouragement. "I mean, I do go around stabbing everyone I like less than you."
He lets out a sound that feels like a scoff attempting to mask itself as a dry laugh. "There's the sense of humor that'd hurt me if I knew you less."
"Well--"
He squeezes your shoulder, "I know you." Okay. You'll let him have this one because maybe there's some truth to what he's saying. "I'm going to go check on the car, because a fucking Honda Odyssey would break down on us for no reason before we got to the fight."
"For no reason or because of the bitch fight you and Wolverine had in it?"
There's a beat of silence in which all you can do is try to imagine Wade's expression behind the mask. You'd like to think that he's smiling. "Oh, Pumpkin." He sighs as if you've stumbled onto saying something terribly naive. "It wasn't a bitch fight, it was awesome, and probably turned you on."
You deadpan a flat, "You caught me." He hasn't let go of your shoulder, and a part of you is oddly glad for it. "I'd offer you help with the car, but..."
You're self aware enough to acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses, car maintenance being the latter. Wade doesn't even let you get your oil changed by yourself anymore.
"I've met you." He squeezes your shoulder again, the gesture weirdly stabilizing. "Give me 15 minutes to actually look at the car and then I'm all yours."
Wade lets go of you, his arm falling to his side. "Aren't you always?"
He lets out an exaggerated gasp. "You're making me feel cheaper than my usual rate, Peanut."
You smile as he turns away. Things are always a little easier with Wade. It's more than just distraction, it's his way of making things feel a little lighter. You're not sure what to do with your 15 minutes of solitude to avoid falling back into self pity.
You originally broke away from the group of void trapped heroes under the premise of needing fresh air, but even here, with the expansive, sparsely wooded area at your disposal, the oxygen in your lungs still feels flat. If Wanda were around, you'd be able to ask if she felt the strangeness of this other plane of existence as well. At least then you'd know if your dislike of the void is only mental or an actual sign of life from your abilities.
You begin to walk forward, hoping to shed all thoughts of both your former self and the eeriness of this other world. There are other people you could talk to you. The others have been polite enough, or at the very least, passionate enough to be talked into facing Cassandra.
The trees you've been wandering through grow in their sparsity, the edge of the woods revealing a patch of grassland highlighted by a fire's warm glow. You squint past the tree line, attempting to make out the figure sitting in front of the flames. Wolverine.
Secluded from the group and staring at a campfire. Surprising. Though, you guess it's not fair to judge him too harshly, you left the group to brood as well.
He doesn't like you, doesn't know you well enough to dislike you, but it took him no time to find a way to get around that. Maybe it's your proximity to Wade. You've done your best to take his hostility as un-personally as possible. You've seen enough people you really care about go through the guilt ridden, fallen hero thing to know how deep that kind of hurt runs.
You've never known a Wolverine or Logan Howlett variant, so you have no way of knowing what he was like before. Sure, you've heard stories, but you're also overly aware of how the media can twist and turn those stories to fit their narrative. One day, a superhero is the world's greatest protector, and the next their the greatest menace. Maybe he was always a little dark, or maybe he wasn't.
"Don't just stand there." The gruffness of his voice startles you more than it should.
Heat crawls up your neck, a part of you more embarrassed than you should be. You weren't lurking, or at the very least, you weren't trying to.
You sigh as you abandon the safety of the tree line. "Sorry." He turns his head away from the fire. "I wasn't--I was just walking."
He's quiet for such a long moment you almost expect him to not respond at all. "Without your shadow?"
Wow, only a halfhearted dig at Wade. You must have caught him in a good mood. "Friend, and he's looking at the car. I'd be looking at the car with him, but I figured the odds for tomorrow are bad enough as is."
Another uneasy stretch of silence. "Yeah." There's not much, if anything, to take from the comment. "If you're here to convince me to go with you guys tomorrow--"
"I'm not." It's an honest answer. You had been walking around aimlessly and happened to stumble onto him. "I'm not into the pep talk thing." He scoffs, the sound lacking in genuine aggression. "What?"
He lifts his gaze from the fire, his eyes settling on some point past the horizon. "I thought you were an Avenger."
You're not sure what bugs you more, the fact that he's so sure he has you all figured out or the implication that the Avengers spend their days encouraging each other instead of actually doing things. What the Avengers are--or maybe were--is so much more than that.
You step forward, further separating you from the cluster of trees. "The Avengers are about a lot more than that."
His attention briefly shifts onto you before returning to the flames. If the silence is meant to be dismissive, it doesn't feel that way. There's a patience there that doesn't suit his usual brooding.
"Do you care if I sit?" The question is forced out before you can overthink it. "I promise no inspirational speeches or small talk."
After a beat, he dips his chin downwards in a nod so subtle you would have missed it if you had been watching him any less carefully. You're more relieved by his acceptance than you should be, your feet carrying you towards the campfire.
You sit at a polite distance, knees bent in front of you. His silence seems to push against the void's sluggishness. Maybe the issue has been you fighting this world's momentum.
"Why are you with him?" You're not sure if you're more shocked by the question or the break in silence. When all you can do is blink, he continues, "You seem--" He subtly clears his throat, as if struggling to admit this next part, "Nice, normal."
Oh. If you had been focused, you likely would have got what he meant without the clarification. "I know Wade's a lot--especially to you." You place a hand against your knee, thinking about that very specific safety you only feel with Wade. You don't have to try at being anything, or worry about earning your keep in any capacity. "But once you get to know him, he's a good friend."
You look away from the fire pit in time to see the skeptical look Logan throws in your direction. "I'm serious." His expression doesn't change. "He um--after I stopped being important to everyone else, he still liked me ." This isn't the conversation you wanted to stumble onto, especially not with someone who you barely know and actively dislikes you. "That sounds kind of dumb, but the point is, he's loyal."
He turns his head back towards the fire. "You always call him by his name." The observation is so stiff you'd consider it hesitant if it came from anyone else.
You've never thought much about Wade's name. Part of it is familiarity, and the rest of it is a force of habit. Even when you were with the Avengers, you preferred using actual names when off duty. It's easier to separate the mask from the person beneath it when you make an active effort to.
You shrug. "I'm not into off duty superhero names, Wolverine."
He falls silent again. You concentrate on the flames, the way they illuminate the world around you. "You can--" He cuts himself off, attention never wavering from the fire. "You can call me Logan, if you want."
An unsteady warmth roots itself in your chest. You didn't expect any sort of kinship between you and the wolverine Wade stole from some other timeline beyond him occasionally accepting your attempts at creating peace between him and Wade.
"Okay," you focus on keeping your tone measured, avoiding any emotions that might startle him, "Logan."
There's no tension in the quiet that follows. You let the minutes pass until you're certain that Wade's waiting for an interruption disguised as an attempt to help. "I should go, Wade's probably waiting for me."
You push yourself to stand. You let yourself glance at him one last time before turning towards the trees you emerged from.

the âfirstâ time
drew starkey x younger!reader, smut, havenât wrote ina minute yall sorry đŁ. i also recommend listening to the song while reading.
you were cuddled up into the side of drew while he had his arm around you, keeping you close to him as you watched the third horror movie tonight.
but little did he know, you were practically soaked down there.
it took a lot of self restraint in you not to squirm around, but you were almost about to start.
the view of him with his blank tank top, grey sweats, a little stubble, a buzzed head and that damn gold chain had you pressing your thighs together for dear life.
it was such a random moment for you to be feeling like this too. he always looked good, that was for sure. him in general had that type of affect on you.
but right now had to have been your peak ovulation or something, because you needed him bad.
you started off with a simple and subtle movement by moving your hand from where it laid on his chest, and slowly down to the top of his abs.
no reaction.
after this, you had to come off a little more bold. you repositioned yourself, pushing your face more upwards into his neck so that plush of your butt would be more into his hand instead of the bottom of your spine.
and still, no reaction.
the only type of movement that came from him was him licking his lips. this did not help your case in the slightest.
it was just throbbing at this point. you wanted him to give it to you so bad, knowing heâd still be a little hesitant.
you and drew had been together for 8 months now, and there were still no real intercourse going on.
of course, drew didnât mind using his fingers on you, and you didnât mind using your mouth on him.
but you wanted, no, needed the real thing.
itâs not like you were a virgin either. youâve had some experience before him.
and still with this knowledge, drew still was convinced you werenât ready for him.
your core was ready for him at this point, âdrew,â you finally spoke up.
âhmâ he said in that low, raspy tone of his. *reason number 300 why you needed to be dicked down this instant*
in reality tho, you really did wish he would just take a hint. actually having to say what you wanted was just too⌠confrontational.
âiâm really likeâŚâ you didnât make eye contact with his eyes. you were trying not to make yourself laugh at how embarrassing it was to actually tell him at the same time.
drew on the other hand was just waiting for you to finish your sentence, confused as ever.
âreally what?â
you sighed. âi really, really, really, really need you. like reallyâ
the words were finally out, but not direct. that was the most he was gonna get from you.
the realization hit him and he let out chuckle, âokay.â was all he said before he started kissing you.
but you knew what he was gonna do, and that wasnât just all that you wanted.
you pulled away gently, âno like i actually need you. i donât want just the fingers.â
he raised his eyebrows at this, the actual realization hitting him this time.
âa- are you sure baby?â he asked with genuine concern.
âiâm positive. iâve been wanting it for so long.â
heâs rubbing your thigh with his hand. âi donât know sweetheart⌠are you positive you want it?â
you almost started whining. âyess, drew. iâm so very serious.â
you could see that drew was very hesitant just thinking about it, but then also at the same time considering it.
âjust so you know, donât think that we have to do all of that to be together. i love you for you-â
as much as you loved your man right back, you were getting a little fed up. âyes i know babe but i really need to feel you right now.â
he smirked at your bold statement. for the first time in 8 whole months of the relationship, drew finally caved in.
âalright. donât wanna hear itâs âtoo muchâ either.â
you didnât get the chance to respond because his lips were already on yours, shoving his tongue into your mouth and holding the back of your head.
this is what youâve been waiting for so desperately. that rough side of his.
heâs laying you down completely on your back, focused on getting your pajama pants and panties off at once.
at the same time, youâre trying to get his shirt off. you were so ready to just take all of him.
you fumbled with his own sweats and boxers while he fumbled with your shirt, eventually resulting in the both of you being completely exposed to each other.
he runs his hands down your body, âshit.â
you felt him getting harder and harder on your leg. you could tell he was starting to feel that throbbing sensation himself when he guided your hand onto his cock and made you run him.
and while you were doing that, his hand moved to your own folds and started rubbing too. you couldnât help the gasps that came out either.
his mouth moved down to your neck, leaving a bunch of hickies that would be pointless even attempting to cover the next day.
deciding to tease him a little, you started rubbing the tip of his cock, leaving him with his mouth slack and letting out breaths right by your ear.
âyou ready for this dick, baby?â he says while moving his hard on from the palm of your hand, to rubbing at your entrance.
âmhm!â you moan out.
thatâs all he needed. he clearly was just as needy all this time as you were. not too much foreplay and no multiple asks of confirmation. he just slid right in and bottomed out too.
his face scrunched in pleasure, âso tight baby. so fuckin tight.â
and he was so big. you werenât unfamiliar with his girthy and lengthy cock, but the feeling of it actually inside you was foreign. you almost didnât know if you could actually take it.
almost. you definitely were not stopping him from ruining your insides.
as the respectful king drew is, he waited for you to give him the âokayâ to start moving. all you had to do was nod, and he started with a medium pace.
the moans that were already coming out of you were loud. it was so nice, especially on a night like this to be making love to drew.
he wasnât silent either. you felt perfect around him. he had to let it be known too with the groans that came from him.
âyou feel so good baby, so damn good.â he throws his head back.
âmoreâŚâ you say, a little breathlessly too.
drew doesnât even question it. he started hitting it harder and a little faster too.
âanything you want, love. this pussy was made for me baby. all for me.â
you wanted to respond and agree, but before you could, drew let a ball of spit out of his mouth and down to where the two of you connected. you were already very wet, and he already had a lot of precum going on.
and now the sound that was traveling throughout the house? straight pornographic.
âyou hear that? you hear that pussy baby?â he says, lips back down onto yours.
but you could barely answer. he was going even faster and harder now, leaving you speechless with just your mouth open and small gasps coming from you.
but his hands move to your neck, âi asked you a question.â
your hands laid on top of his wrists, âyes papa.â
he let out an approving nod at your response. âgood girl.â
drew moves his hands from around your neck, and he now has your knees pushed into your chest, with his hands firmly planted on the back of your thighs.
and because of this new position, heâs inside you so deep, and hitting that right spot which makes you scream out.
he smiles at the loud reaction. âis that it, baby? right there?â
âyea!â you whined back as a response.
he lets out a chuckle, and then feels you clench around him which knock him back down even further into the pleasure.
âyea baby, fuck. keep doing that.â he groans.
you werenât just doing it to do it, tho. you were seconds away from cumming all over him.
âmâgonna cumâŚâ you said, eyes rolling to the back of your head.
âyea? go ahead baby. wanna feel it. cum all over this fat cock.â
a few more thrusts later, he got his request. you were cumming for so long on him, and he just kept fucking you through it. fucking you more harder than previously, actually.
he was getting so lost into it, so focused on getting his own release to. and with the faces and noises heâs started to make, you could tell he was almost there too.
âwant your cum.â you said to him.
he moved is hands from your thighs and up to your hips, giving you the opportunity to wrap your legs around him and trap him into you.
âdonât play with me.â he warns.
âmânot! need to feel you cum inside me. i donât care what happens.â you babbled. you definitely cared what would happen, but in the moment nothing else mattered.
âyouâre playing a dangerous game, baby. yâknow that?â
âi know. i wanna feel you fill me up so bad⌠make you a daddy.â you spur him on even further, knowing the affect it would have on him.
the grip he had on your hips got insanely tight. it kind of hurt in a way, but you didnât care knowing that he was about to nut inside of you at any moment.
and just as you clenched around him like you did earlier, you felt him smash his hips into yours, this time keeping them connected together.
he came buckets into you. his hot, long ropes of sperm had you feeling full like it was nobodies business.
and he really needed to take a minute to collect himself. the both of you were gasping for air, him still inside you for a good minute after.
when he pulled out, you felt like jelly and so did drew. he laid back down himself, pulling your body into his.
âiâve been waiting for that.â he spoke.
there was apart of you that kind of didnât believe that. âyou kept saying i wasnât ready.â you chuckled.
âi know, bad mistake. i almost proposed to you halfway through.â
you laugh at him and snuggle up more into him.
he playfully taps your stomach. "we're gonna have to get you on birth control baby." he says, referring to the comment about giving him a baby earlier.
"i know." you giggle. "i kinda like the excitement tho i dont know."
he shakes his head, half jokingly and half serious. "these youngins"
you slap his chest and roll your eyes, "oh shut up unc." this makes him let out a laugh too.
the movie that was playing in the background was long over, and you both still had yet to realize netflix was asking if you guys were still watching.

Lucifer Morningstar x Reader Romance Headcanons
Some very random and very silly little headcanons about being in a relationship with the King of Hell, and likely the beginning of many more as I learn how to write for this darling cartoon that has consumed my entire brain.
- He's one of the greatest flirts of all time, but with one enormous caveat: he has no ability to consciously flirt with anyone he's interested in. Quips and charming smiles come easy when he wants to banter with friends or taunt a foe, but when he starts to get feelings for you and actually attempts to be smooth, everything falls apart. All traces of his grace, power, and quick wit evaporate the instant he pulls his first move, and it only worsens the more flustered he becomes. His first attempt goes so badly that by the end more than a few things are on fire, and neither of you is entirely sure how. Thankfully, your receptiveness despite the disasters will build his confidence; and while he's never quite as smooth as when he's not trying, he does learn to make use of his charms whenever the moment calls for it.
- While at first he'll keep your relationship on the extreme down low, to the point of avoiding public dates and shows of affection, this is only so he can take the time to be sure you know and can fully agree to what you're getting into. Dating Lucifer Morningstar comes with a great many risks that don't ever go away, and he needs you to understand that while he'll do anything to keep you safe, your life will change forever once word gets out. The people of Hell are going to want to know all about their King's new lover, and he has more than a few enemies on multiple planes of existence you'll have to be wary of. As soon as he's convinced you're aware of the risks and accept them regardless, be prepared for him to make up for lost time and then some. He wants to take you on dates to Hell's most premier establishments, to have you on his arm for every single public appearance, and to proudly and boldly declare you to be his love whenever the opportunity presents itself.
- Genuine compliments go a long way with this man. Though he's got a very healthy sense of pride, he still very much enjoys praise, to the point of nearly giddy delight if he gets it from someone he's crushing on. This goes double if you catch him off guard. Expressing your awe when he unceremoniously summons a mundane item out of thin air will fluster him far more readily than even the most lascivious of flirtations, and he'll be riding the emotional high for the better part of a week. Praising his appearance has an even greater impact, and nothing puts a spring in his step quite like hearing how much you like his hair.
- Touch is one of his preferred love languages, second only to gifts and song. He likes to give as much as he does to receive, but as he's a little starved for affection, you'll find him very disproportionately affected by even the most chaste contact. The first time you try looping your arm through his, laying a hand on his shoulder, and even brushing up to his side he'll be deliriously happy. Once the gates are open, however, you can expect him to start initiating and upping the ante quite rapidly. He'll start taking your hand when it's available, cupping the small of your back as you walk at his side, and even pulling you in with his wings for a feathery embrace, and he doesn't stop there. Eventually, if you're amicable, he'll gladly offer his lap anytime you need a seat. This goes double if you're in public.
- Giving gifts is one of his favorite ways to express affection, but he doesn't just do so willy nilly, even if anything you could ask for will be provided in a heartbeat. Rather, he likes to surprise you by gifting something that you didn't even know you needed, and will spend a great deal of time noting what you need help with and drafting ideas to meet that need until he has the perfect solution. Being a craftsman with eons of experience and angelic powers means he can construct anything in the realm of imagination, and he'll use his skills to tune his creation to your particular tastes. All of this is done in secret to ensure you're surprised when he finally presents his creation. No matter how many hours he spends laboring over these gifts, your surprise and joy always makes it all worth it in the end.

Flufftober Day 31: Proposal - Octavinelle
Characters include: Azul Ashengrotto, Jade Leech, Floyd Leech
Word count: 1677
Azul
Who proposes: you
Azul genuinely and truly does not believe he deserves you. For as much bravado he pretends to have, none of it can protect him from the fact that he is deeply in love with every part of you. And yet, he canât help but think that you deserve better than him.Â
No matter how far away he gets from his past, it will always haunt him. Heâs still very insecure about his appearance and personality, and it does affect how he handles your relationship.Â
Your relationship progressed very slowly. It took him months to even work up the courage to hold your hand, always afraid that youâd find him disgusting for doing such a thing. Of course, you would never, but it took him a long time to actually believe that.Â
Even now, as an adult, he still has a hard time dealing with his insecurities.Â
Right now, more than anything, he wants to propose to you. He wants to marry you so bad that he might go inside. But he canât bring himself to even buy a ring, let alone propose. Every time he even thinks about going out and buying you a ring, his insecurity gets the better of him and he brushes it off.Â
One day, you ask him out on a date. Itâs out of the blue, and heâs rather caught off guard. He says yes, because how could he possibly say no to you? Plus, itâs been so long since youâve been on a date. Heâs always so busy with work, and so are you, so heâs excited.Â
On the day of, you take him to a nice restaurant, and you pay for everything yourself. It, yet again, catches him off guard, as heâs usually the one to pay. He doesnât mind, and he actually kind of likes being pampered for once.Â
Afterwards, you take him on a nice stroll around the city, enjoying the sight of all the lights now that itâs nighttime. Azul seems so relaxed, and it makes you happy to know heâs enjoying himself. Heâs been so pent up lately, so you knew this would be good for him.Â
Eventually, you return home, and you have one last thing for the night. He sits down on your couch as you run to the bedroom, leaving him in anticipation.Â
When you return, you kneel down in front of him, and his eyes go wide in shock. He almost doesnât believe it at first, until you present the box in your hands, opening it up to reveal a beautiful ring. His eyes immediately well up with tears as he looks at you, asking if youâre serious. You are.Â
All this time, he was working himself up, convinced you secretly hated him and would never agree to marry him. He didnât even notice you planning anything. Normally, he wouldâve noticed immediately if you were planning something this huge, but you really caught him off guard.Â
It takes him a second to find his voice through the tears, but he does say yes. You put the ring on his finger and pull him into a hug, comforting him as he continues to cry. Theyâre happy tears, of course, but you can tell heâs embarrassed about being so emotional.Â
Your wedding is a huge celebration. He has a lot of family, and theyâre all so excited to celebrate with him. The big party happens under the sea since most of his family canât turn human just for one day. However, you do have a smaller party for your land-dwelling friends as well, and itâs just as fun. Azul tries so hard not to cry, and he fails miserably. He gets so emotional, and he can barely get through his vows before heâs an absolute mess.Â
Jade
Who proposes: Jade
Out of the three Octotrio, Jade has always been the one most set on getting married. Heâs lowkey always been the most family oriented, and even as a kid, he was so excited at the thought of having a family of his own.
Considering how he normally is, his dream of marriage is rather innocent in comparison. Itâs truly the only thing he has no ulterior motives behind. He just really wants to get married and create a family.
That idea was even more solidified when he began dating you. He knew almost immediately that you were the person he was going to marry. He also had no intention of hiding that from you.Â
Jade is very open about his feelings from the get go. He sees no reason to hide them from you. If you were truly uninterested, you would tell him so. However, you were very on board, much to his pleasure.
His proposal happens the second youâre both financially, physically, and mentally stable enough in your lives. As much as he wanted to get married immediately after school, even he knew that wasnât exactly possible. So, he waited.
And, soon enough, the day came. The perfect day to finally propose to you. He already has the ring, having picked it out forever ago when he saw it at a lovely market. He knew he had to have it for this day, and heâs been holding onto it ever since.
Itâs pretty obvious that heâs planning on proposing to you. He does not even try to hide it at all. In it's own way, itâs kind of cute. Heâs so excited to just get to the proposal.
Initially, he had a whole event planned out. He would take you on a nice, romantic date, ending with the grand proposal of his dreams. However, all of that goes out the door that very morning.
Jade wakes up first, and the first thing he sees is your adorable sleeping face. Your hair is a mess and youâre drooling a bit. His eyes are practically hearts as he looks at you. Without thinking he shakes you awake, being careful not to startle you too much.
As you wipe the sleep from your eyes, Jade reaches into the bedside drawer, pulling out the ring box. Right as you begin to wake up, Jade presents you with the ring, and it takes you such a long time to process whatâs going on. You look between him and the box, asking him if heâs for real. He said he had a whole day planned out today, so you assumed this would come later.
He explains that he just couldnât wait even a second more, and he had to do this now. After taking a bit more to process, you say yes, and he immediately pulls you into a tight hug. Then he slips the ring on your finger. Now, instead of a pre-proposal date, your day is a day of celebration.Â
Your wedding is simple yet elegant. Jade is very detail oriented, and that really shows here. Itâs not a very big event, but thereâs still plenty of guests. Itâs a fun day, and this might be the most genuinely happy youâve seen Jade in a while. Heâs just so happy to be married to you.
Floyd
Who proposed: Floyd
Floyd is pretty well-known for being spontaneous. Almost everything he does is for the sake of entertainment, and he needs constant stimulation in order to feel something.Â
At first, this included your relationship. He initially asked you out on a whim, assuming youâd be a fun fling. As time went on, he went from seeing you as a slightly amusing plaything to actually enjoying your company. You went from a mere fling to his actual partner.Â
At first, this kind of scared Floyd. Besides Azul and Jade, heâs never let anyone get this close to him. It was strange letting you in like this. He didnât plan on you, but now that he has you, he wants to keep you forever.
The idea of marriage was never for Floyd. He found it a weird, somewhat boring concept that wouldnât be all that entertaining. Being tied down sounded like such a drag to him. That was until you of course. Now, marriage is all he can think about.Â
As with everything else, itâs spontaneous when he buys the ring. He was walking by a store and saw the most darling ring, and he knew right away that it was meant for you. Despite what many think, Floyd certainly has an eye for fashion, especially when it comes to shiny gems. He took one look at this ring and had to buy it.
After purchasing the ring, he practically runs home, barreling down the door and startling you away from whatever you were doing previously.Â
When you look at him, you see a happy, slightly deranged Floyd as he bounds up to you like a giant puppy. If you were anyone else, this would be a terrifying sight, but you are you, so this is absolutely adorable. You can tell heâs in a good mood.
He reaches you and immediately kneels down, wasting absolutely no time in pulling out the ring. You sit there, wide-eyed with shock, not even sure how to react. This was very unexpected.
Floyd looks at you expectedly, as if you were supposed to know this was going to happen. It takes you a second to find your voice, but when you do, it comes out in a whisper. Still, your yes is heard by Floyd, and thatâs enough for him to pull you into a tight squeeze, placing the ring on your finger.Â
He lifts you and spins you around, littering your face with kisses. You havenât seen him so genuinely happy in years, and you absolutely love it.
Your wedding is basically just a giant party. Everyone you know is invited, and Floyd makes sure to make it as wild as heâs allowed. Some people would consider it too much, but you consider it uniquely Floyd, and you adore it. However, you do make sure he doesnât go too far into party mode. It is still your wedding after all.

romance alphabet â trafalgar law
summary: what it's like to fall in love with the surgeon of death
a â affection; how affectionate is he? how does he show his affection?
at the start of the relationship, law almost never shows any affection toward you. heâs helplessly awkward when it comes to lovey-dovey stuff, but after a couple awkward encounters, heâll gain some confidence and start providing you acts of service.
itâs honestly the little things with law; heâll bring you a blanket and pillows to nap in his office; he always makes sure you eat, even going as far as to make you meals when youâre hungry; anything you desire, law will provide.
b â best quality; what's his best quality as a romantic partner and why?
law is an incredible listener. he is always paying attention to what you say no matter the time or place. he always remembers the smallest of details, which of most you didnât even remember yourself. by knowing every detail about you, itâs his way of showing you how much he cares.
c â confession; would he confess his feelings first? if so, how would he confess?
lmao no. heâd rather roll over in his grave than tell you he likes you.
the only way youâd find out is through someone else (bepo).
d â dating; what is it like to date him? how is he as a romantic partner?
in the beginning, it feels as if your relationship is stagnant, nothing really changes from just being friends. until one late night when he asks if you want to see his coin collection or his comic books and itâs like his whole personality does a complete 180 on you, seemingly out of nowhere. suddenly youâre dating a complete nerd who is (un)secretly obsessed with you.
lawâs definitely the type to remember all the little things you say, has a journal full of your favorite things, but rarely opts to be overly romantic. he would give you a present that reminds you of someone special to you and treat it as âno big deal.â
all in all, heâs a bit embarrassed to be romantic, but heâs definitely got the spirit.
e â emotions; how emotional is he with you? does he show his emotions right away or does it take time for him?
youâre lucky if you get a passive aggressive sigh from law for a very long time. he doesnât start dropping his walls until a couple months to a year, again, if youâre lucky.
poor baby is so afraid to show you any real emotion because of all his unresolved trauma, so just be patient with him.
f â flirt; how good is he at flirting? does he flirt well or often?
oh my god, no; itâs the opposite in fact. heâs terrible, genuinely terrible.
heâs awkward, stuttery, sweaty, and kinda just stares at you when he canât get any words out.
on the rare occasion heâs mediocre at it is when heâs drunk and no other time, you cannot convince me otherwise.
g â gifts; is he a gift giver? what kind of gifts does he enjoy giving you?
yes, but heâs not so much for the pageantry so theyâll be subtle; a new blanket on the bed for you, a framed photo of the two of you suddenly appearing on your nightstand, stuff like that.
h â hugs; does he hug you a lot? what are his hugs like?
he loves to hug you only when you're in the privacy of his room on the polar tang. he doesn't care much for the affection otherwise, that's what he tells you anyway. you later learn he's just embarrassed to be so romantic otherwise given his reputation.
since law towers over you, he practically throws his body weight into you when you hug. he wraps his arms around your waist, tightly clinging to you as his head droops into your shoulder. the majority of his body weight is now shoved into your shoulder like the big 26-year-old baby he is.
i â i love you; does he tell you that he loves you first?
again, i have to laugh, but no. maybe subtly, but never, ever directly and he will never say the actual words. heâll be more âromanticâ or whatever his version of romantic is (being more attentive), and then the crew will catch on. law definitely talks about you way too much to the crew and they'll all realize that he loves you before you do.
j â jealousy; does he get jealous a lot? if so, for what specific reason?
oh, yes; probably one of the most jealous men in all of one piece, in my opinion.
law is deeply insecure, afraid of love, and has abandonment issues and if he feels even a twinge of jealousy itâs like his heart breaks on the sight.
however, it does take a little bit to get him jealous! heâs not threatened by normal interaction, but if someone was a bit too overly affectionate with you (read: luffy, sanji, or eustass), thatâs enough to make him jealous. itâs the act of seeing someone be vulnerable with you the exact same way he is with you that drives him nuts.
k â kisses; what part of you is his favorite to kiss? how often does he enjoy kissing you?
his favorite is any place thatâs intimate and vulnerable; being able to claim you as his because no one else gets to touch you where he does.
you can find law in the crux of your neck almost every night, itâs one of his favorite spots because he can practically breathe in your scent and lovingly kiss the area as much as he likes without getting tired.
after your relationship reaches the point where heâs no longer uncomfortable to show affection itâs like every second of the day with him. you wouldnât think it by the look of him, but law adores kissing you even if itâs a quick kiss to your forehead in passing. itâs kind of his way of showing you love even when you aren't directly saying it and he gets super whiny when you donât show him the same affection in return.
l â love language; whatâs his love language?
acts of service. law thinks of it as an incognito way to show affection even when heâs around others. itâll range from throwing a blanket on you when you âaccidentallyâ fall asleep in his office to offering to aid you on specific tasks âjust in case.â
m â memories; what memories of you two are the most precious to them? why do they treasure them?
it has to be the first night he said, âi love you.â itâs after you had fallen asleep in his arms, your light snores echo around the room.
he has an elbow propped up against the pillow holding his head and the other arm draped around you. your bare skin is so warm against him, it was such a strange sensation compared to the cold air that usually envelopes him in his room.
your calm expression twitches slightly indicating that you had to be dreaming and law hopes it was about him.
his gray eyes were so soft; his facial muscles felt so foreign in such a gentle position, but he couldnât help it when he was holding you so close to him. knowing that the person before him loved him so much.
that meant so much to him because it was the first time in 14 years that law had finally regained the love he had lost so long ago.
n â nicknames; what nicknames does he prefer to call you, if any at all?
law is such a âdollâ kind of guy. it just falls from his lips like butter and heâs so quick to start calling you that too.
o â on cloud nine; what is he like when he's in love? how different does he act when he's in love?
when law falls in love with you, it is probably the most confusing time in your relationship. itâs kinda like when the grinchâs heart grows three sizes but instead of accepting it, it scares the hell out of him. heâs extremely avoidant of you and wonât explain anything so you gotta corner him in his office.
heâll get scared, possibly shed a tear or two and tell you just how terrified of love he is. you canât really blame him, so you tell him you obviously love him too. he turns into such a clingy, obsessive guy after that. he loves having your attention; his walls really come down and heâll show you all his nerdy collections like comic books and coins.
when law is finally ready to admit that heâs in love with you, he is the softest and most pure a man could be. heâs vulnerable and feels safe with you, so that means heâs extra protective.
p â pda; does he openly express pda? how affectionate is he in public?
unfortunately, law hates pda. in fact, law is very adamant on keep your relationship personal and private. due to his traumatic past, law chooses to keep you a secret so as to not put you in harmâs way.
though when you make the alliances that law does, he comes to realize that word will get out eventually. law attempts to threaten luffy to keep your relationship under wraps but, câmon, itâs luffy.
q â quirks; what are some things youâve learned about him since being in a relationship?
heâs very particular about everything; he always needs a solution to every problem. for instance, whenever you two have a disagreement, heâll be unsatisfied until he has a direct solution for your issue and become frustrated if there isnât one.
because of his particular-ness, when itâs his turn to plan date nights, they are often planned to a t. you will leave a certain time, the activity will take place at a certain time, etc., you think itâs completely adorable even when heâs frustrated when youâre a minute or two behind schedule.
r â romance; is he a romantic partner? is he clichĂŠ or creative?
contrary to popular belief, law can be quite romantic. heâs a âflowers just because kind of guyâ and is extremely creative in the gift-giving sentiment.
he opts for purchasing presents youâd actually enjoy, taking his time and putting energy into a photo album or scrapbook. the gestures from law are always well thought out; itâll always be work heâs proud of.
s â smooch; what was your first kiss like? where did it happen and was it planned?
your first kiss is something law wishes you didnât remember. he waited 26 years to kiss someone, did either of you really think heâd be any good at it?
it, of course, was a bit awkward. you never assume someone could mess up a kiss but somehow, he did.
you were in his office, chair placed closely next to his as you read over whatever book he was fixated on this week.
it was late, the both of you were sleep deprived beyond compare, but every time law glanced over at you reading the page he was, he swore his heart jumped out of his chest.
though the kiss itself was not planned, he spent at least 15 minutes mentally calculating if he should make his move.
when he finally mustered up the courage, he turned to you in an awkward position and just kinda stared between your eyes and your lips.
it doesnât take long for you to notice your boyfriends gawking and before you can ask him if heâs okay he smushes his lips to yours.
of course, having no prior experience, he doesnât really move his lips at all and just sits there for a couple of seconds until you pull away.
heâs confused, but heâs definitely got the spirit, so you give him some leeway and show him how itâs done.
the both of you laugh about that memory now, but he still feels embarrassed if he thinks about it for too long.
t â true love; does he believe you were destined to be together?
nope. he doesnât believe in fate or astrology or anything of the sort but is definitely open to it if you do.
even if doesnât believe in any spiritual destiny, he constantly finds himself thanking whoever may be up there that he is lucky enough to have you.
u â ultimatum; what is a dealbreaker in his relationship?
law needs loyalty. he needs to know that you are his and, more importantly, that he is yours. the hardest part about falling in love for him is that he is terrified that youâll leave him and having your loyalty reassures him (most times anyway) that youâll always be by his side.
v â value; how important is the relationship to him? what is it worth in comparison to other things in his life?
okay, donât shoot the messenger, but at the start of your relationship law didnât think that highly of it. due to his lack of emotional affection to or from anyone, he honestly saw no important significance for being in a relationship.
in classic law fashion, nothing really changed between you two until he realized how much your absence affected him. the romantic longing in his heart was such an unfamiliar feeling he mistook it for some kind of heart condition.
eventually law comes to realize that, maybe, someone who is as closed off and lonely as he could fall in love and then he is putty in your hands. the minute he knows he loves you, you become his number one priority. he tries to maintain some of his natural disposition, but he is so desperate to be loved by you that he does anything and everything for you.
w â wild card; a random relationship headcanon!
law is borderline obsessed with you. heâll know things about you that you donât even remember telling him. heâs kind of a freak if weâre being honest.
he steals clothes from your room because they smell like you, takes photos of you without your knowledge so that he can keep them for later, and bought your engagement ring the day he knew he loved you.
obviously, he has no intention of ever telling you any of this because he doesnât need you to know just how desperate he is for you to love him.
law knows that youâre his and either heâs marrying you or heâs dying alone, no other option.
x â x-factor; what drew him to you?
law loves how different the two of you are. you arenât opposites by any means, but the way that your emotional intelligence and situational awareness (especially when it comes to such a brooding man such as himself) differ so greatly from his that it entices something within him. he doesnât consider you the opposite of him, but he views it as what he lacks, you offer.
he knew you had these qualities from the very beginning, thatâs why he asked you to join his crew, but seeing how well they transfer over to your relationship made him swoon even more.
y â yearning; when does his find himself missing you?
though he never prefers to be put in situations that are rambunctious or crazy, law finds himself missing you most when heâs in them. something about having you there, holding his hand or talking to him makes the situation so much better.
z â zzz; what is his favorite sleeping position? is he the big spoon or the little spoon?
something about spooning always gives law so much comfort. he loves to cling to you, to have you pulled so tight to chest that you can feel his heartbeat through your back.
while the warmth and closeness being the big spoon provides him is extremely comforting, law does prefer to be the little spoon. when youâre as private and apathetic as law is, heâs practically begging to be held by you. since he rarely gets a good nightâs sleep, being in your arms is the best melatonin substitute.
likes, reblogs, and comments are always appreciated! (âżâ âżâ )

Hi hii, I've seen your requests are open and I was wondering if I could request somewhat one-sided Astarion x reader/Tav/he catches feelings first kinda situation??? Pretty please, love your writing đ
Too Generous Too Kind
pairing : astarion x (gn) reader
summary : astarion has travelled by your side for weeks and it makes his stomach churn when he grows to trust you, the trust turns into something more and he feels even worse.
warnings : astarion's scars, reader is injured.
For weeks Astarion had been travelling by your side. And for weeks he was under the impression he was only using you to get to Baldur's Gate safely. You were a powerful ally, an asset to his plan of revenge.Â
He would stand by your side, of course, and watch your back as you had always watched his. But he couldnât hold back how aggravating you were, you didnât care whether he approved of your decisions or not. You made your own, walked your own street, and he was forced to follow it if he wanted to keep you around.Â
And for weeks he had watched you talk your way out of situations, or convince a trader to give you free supplies. A master with your words. He watched as you lied and manipulated, and it made his faith in you soar.Â
But then you would turn around and help a helpless child or a person that meant nothing to you, and his respect for you waivered. Why did they deserve any of your help? Itâs not like they helped you in any way. And they definitely wouldnât help you the same way you chose to help them if it were you stranded on the side of the road with no help. They would leave you, he was sure of it. He would, just like everyone had done to him, no one was deserving of your help if they had nothing to give you in return.Â
So constantly you would find yourself in front of him, as he yelled at you and glared down at you with fire burning behind his eyes. He was tired of wasting time with people who didnât matter. âMust you stop to help every worthless person we find on the side of the road?â His voice is venomous and unimpressed. Itâs not the first time he has made a complaint, and him continuing to be unacknowledged was becoming more and more irritating each time he tried.
âYouâd regret saying that if it was you on the side of the road, and we left you to grovel in your own misery.â Your arms are crossed, disciplinary stare on your face like heâs a child. He hates it.Â
Itâs not like anyone ever stopped to help him in the past.
Too generous. Too kind.Â
Sure it gave you allies, and more often than not they would reward you for your good deed. But still, you couldâve killed them and taken it from their cold, dead body. Or he couldâve pickpocketed them for you, no time wasted.Â
Astarion only feels his opinion change when your actions begin to affect him and not just the strangers you pass by through your travels.Â
Suddenly he feels himself growing overwhelmingly close to you. Close enough that he feels heâs safe to tell you about Cazador and the threat he may play in your life in the future, and in a moment of privacy, just you and him, he offers to show you the scars on your back. You're not sure what to say at first, you just stare and it makes his skin crawl with insecurity.Â
He shivers when your fingers meet his back to trace along the lines, âHe did this?â He can only nod, embarrassed by this moment of transparency and weakness. God forbid he try to speak and all that comes out is a wobbly, pathetic cry where a snide comment laced with sarcasm should be.
You grab his shoulder to turn him around, holding both his hands in your own with a tightness that has his skin crawling in a different way. âI wonât let him hurt you again, we wonât, all of us, you'll never have to fight him alone. Weâll help you, no matter what,â Your thumbs swipe across the skin of his pale and shaky fingers and it sends heat up his cold arm, âIâll help you.âÂ
Itâs so genuine and so sincere, it almost makes the air catch in his lungs.Â
His eyes widen, and he has to force himself to hide how grateful he is to hear the words leave your mouth. He hadnât realized that heâd forgotten what it was like to feel safe. To have someone who cares for him so much that they would put their life in danger to protect him. You were always kind to the helpless and needy, he just never thought he would allow himself to fit that description again, especially not in front of you.
You barely know him. You barely know his story, youâve only seen his scars once and briefly heard of his former master's cruelty. But youâre ready to lay your life down for his cause. For him. To protect him. He feels lighter, holding the weight of Cazadors power on two pairs of shoulders instead of his alone..
Too generous. Too kind.Â
For a while, he finds himself to be less annoyed by the way you stop to help. He doesn't mind as much when it inevitably slows the journey down. It still bothers him but finds it easier to manage when he sees the satisfactory smile you wear after. The sight almost makes a proud smile appear on his own face, smile lines subtly deepening before he wipes the evidence away.
You impress him, through it all. You hold your own while managing to deal with everyone elseâs problems on your back, and while he hates the way you try to help everyone, he admires the way you handle it all.
Again his opinion changes when you reach Moonrise Towers. Whilst exploring, you meet a woman named Araj, a drow, who offers a potion of immense power in exchange for Astarions teeth sinking into her skin. The mere idea has you scoffing, the potion would be nice but you would never jeopardize Astarions freedom in exchange for something that would only benefit yourself.Â
But she pushes, even after Astarion declines. He is clearly uncomfortable and her continuous attempt to convince him has your blood boiling, face beginning to develop a red tinge from frustration.
âExcuse me if Iâm mistaken but Iâm sure I just heard him say no..â
âAnd Iâm sure you can tell him to change his mind, he is yours, correct? I assume he follows your orders.â Your eyebrow raises at the suggestion that Astarion was anything but his own being. Your party is murmuring behind you, Karlachâs hand finding a place on your shoulder to tell you to calm down before things get out of hand.Â
Even Astarion feels himself becoming concerned for how this would pan out. Heâd never seen you so angry. A part of him was touched that you could be so angry on his behalf. But the majority of his mind is conflicted on if he should step in before you rip this woman's head clean off her shoulders.Â
You feel your mouth open to shout at the drow in front of you but Astarions fingers slip within your own, squeezing in warning. Your mind clears a little, and you take a deep breath to calm your breathing. Karlach and Shadowheart stare at the scene in silence, but Karlachâs fingers give your shoulder another reassuring squeeze before slipping away.Â
âI donât own him, if thatâs what you're trying to imply. Heâs his own person. Who can make his own decisions, and he said no. Thatâs the last Iâll hear of the matter.â
A vampire spawn, a slave to Cazador for so many years, suddenly with the ability to act on his own and think for himself. His heart swells. He canât think of any other word to describe how he feels but grateful. But maybe something else is lingering deeper underneath? Whatever the feeling is, it clouds his mind and puts a weight on his chest.
Later at camp he dwells on it, itâs hard not to see how your tired eyes consistently meet him. What could you be thinking? He canât stop focusing on the way you speak to everyone but him, and jealousy is beginning to fester around his tent. What did he do to make you ignore him? When you finally reach him to say goodnight, his jealousy from earlier returns and he wants to send you away, but he canât.Â
âThank you..â Heâs cut you off before you can say goodnight and walk away from him, and you're stunned. His voice is soft, much softer then he wanted it to be, but he allows his tone to stay the same. Trust. Trusting you without realizing.Â
âFor what exactly?â
âFor what you did at Moonrise. You couldâve forced me to go through with that..but you didnât,â Astarion feels his eyes soften, stomach turning, âAnd Iâm grateful.â
He gets anxious in front of your eyes when you donât say anything. But his body becomes lighter when your arms wrap around him. He is certain itâs not a hug for your own comfort, but for his. And going against every instinct in his body that tells him to push you away, he hugs you back, wrapping his arms around you..Â
âI want you to know I will never put you in a position where you donât have free will. You control yourself, Astarion, I will never jeopardize your freedom for my own benefit. You're a member of my party..you're my friend. I could never do that to you.âÂ
Friend? He couldnât remember the last time he had someone to call a friend. If ever. But the words have him squeezing you closer to his body, face slipping into the crevice of your neck.Â
âI was worried you mightâve been mad at me for refusing her, you were ignoring me. I wasnât sure what I had done..â His words pull at your heart, you hadnât meant to make him feel that way..
âAstarion..âÂ
âHm?â He doesnât move, heâs not sure if he wants to. Astarion is sure that he could hold you like this for as long as you would let him.Â
âI didnât mean to ignore you.. I was actually deciding how I should apologize..âÂ
âApologize for what, dear?â He scoffs in your ear, heâs so close and the pet name flows with ease from his lips. If it were any other man you wouldnât have noticed.
âFor how I handled her today. I shouldâve stayed calm. I just..I got so angry and she kept pushing and I was scared that she would do something to you..âÂ
The feeling is back in his chest, heavy and heating his face. His arms tighten and it silences your rambling, âDonât apologize for being angry. You did nothing wrong⌠I actually quite appreciate your anger on my behalf. You didnât have to but I appreciate that you denied her. I was certain you were going to kill her.â A chuckle stumbles from his lips, breath heavy on your ear.Â
âI mightâve if you didnât step in.â He pulls away from you, hands still resting on your arms, and disappointment fills your body.Â
Astarion feels it again when your eyes look up into his with comfort painted across your face, a jab at his heart, and he is certain. Heâs smitten and he canât help the way his eyes fill with adoration.Â
You wear a small smile on your face, filling him with comfort, but a sadness lingers in his mind. The fact is , you donât feel the same and it causes his heart to become heavier. His hands fall from your arms, waving you off with a gentle goodnight before entering his tent. You stay standing in confusion, it sends your thoughts spiraling as you leave towards your own tent.Â
Too generous. Too kind.
The next few days he is dazed, distracted and it shows. He misses his shots, when you speak to him his mind is elsewhere and the words you deliver slip through his ears. Everyone is clearly annoyed.Â
But he cannot see it. He truly canât see or hear anything, his thoughts are screaming at him about you. He cares for someone other than himself. He is depending on someone who is not himself. Heâs worried for your well-being, and he knows youâd be better without him by your side. Heâs a burden with his mission to defeat Cazador, and he thinks about leaving.
And he thinks about you again. Every time he draws his bow, the thought of losing you fills his head and his fingers slip, arrow flying with unfocused aim. You trip and his previously unattentive eyes fly to your body, catching your arm in his tight grip to keep you from falling. The only words he speaks are soft, âIâve got you.â He doesn't wait for your acknowledgement before he slips back into his clouded mind.Â
He is unaware of his surroundings. He isnât paying attention. Even when youâre fighting and he is tasked with shooting, he isnât fully there.Â
But when a cry leaves your mouth, hand clutching your side where youâve been stabbed, he suddenly sees all. Heâs breathing heavily as he rushes to your side to hold his hand on your wound, putting pressure on it. âIâve got you..I've got you. please..you're gonna be okay..â
His eyes donât leave yours as Karlach lifts you. He holds your fingers in his own as she carries you to camp for the night. He doesn't leave your side , even after everyone has gone to sleep, and your eyes have closed he remains.Â
âAstarion?âÂ
Eyes wide, he looks up tiredly from where his eyes were staring at your wound. âOh..gods. Iâm so sorry..â His forehead falls onto your thigh in a huff.
âW..what?â You let your hand fall onto his head, concerned and not fully awake yet.Â
âIâm so sorry..I..I let you get hurt. I was distracted and you got hurt because of me, my love.âÂ
âAstarion, what are you talking about? What..â You wince as you try to sit up, Astarion lifting his head from your lap instantly when he hears the hiss leave your mouth.Â
He slips his fingers into your hand, squeezing tightly. âI..I couldnât stop thinking..and I wasnât paying attention. If I was..you never wouldâve been hurt.âÂ
His words would almost make you laugh if they werenât so somber, âAstarion please..this is not your fault.âÂ
âI knew this would happen..â
âWhat?âÂ
âIâm only putting you in danger, being in this group, Iâll only be a burden on you. This will keep happening..âÂ
Your heart sinks, âAstarion..â
âNo..â, His eyes won't meet yours, âI canât stay any longer. I need to find Cazador.â You open your mouth to speak but he already knows what you're about to say, âWithout you.âÂ
âNo..no way!â
âPlease..just..â His fingers squeeze around yours again, âI canât keep hurting the person I love. I canât do it..not to the only person who's ever allowed me to feel safe.âÂ
âAstarion..â You place your other hand over his, sitting up straighter to put your face in his, âIf you think for a minute that you can get away with telling me you love me, just to run away and leave me, youâre mistaken.â Your foreheads meet, head falling to touch his while lifting your head to cup his cheek in your palm, thumb rubbing over a dried patch of blood on his face.Â
He stayed by your side when he couldâve gone to rest and clean himself off, and it makes your heart swell in your chest. You figured you would be alone when you woke up but here Astarion sits in front of you with dried blood covering his face and making his strands of his hair hard under your fingers, eyes tired but still open.Â
âBesides I told you, youâd never have to fight him alone..ever again.âÂ
âI canât do this to you.â His eyes close, lips pursing.Â
âYou're not doing anything to me, we're in this together. I promise. â
âI..â
âAstarion. I said we're in this together. You can leave but you better believe I will follow you until the end to keep you safe. Just like you keep me safe..â
Too Generous. Too Kind.
He opens his eyes to look into yours. Theyâre so soft, searching your eyes for genuinity. He is unsure whether you mean everything you're saying. But Astarion is sure then as he searches, youâve never been more truthful in your life. You mean everything. His barricade is broken and he slowly moves in to plant his lips softly to yours, hands shaking against your skin.Â
It's soft and unsure. Just like he is. And he doesnât stay there long in fear of making you uncomfortable, or god forbid he irritates your injury. You canât help but smile at the genuine smile that peeks out at his lips.Â
âSo..the person you love?â
âCareful..I can still take it back.âÂ

under the lights.
pairings: max verstappen + fem reader.
summary: amidst the energy of a night out, you say âi love youâ for the first time.
genre: fluff.â word count: +700.â warning: none.
notes: no use of y/n or any names at all.
youâre sprawled on the couch, watching the same movie for the millionth time. the living room is cozy, with soft lighting casting a warm glow over everything. max, on the other hand, is pacing back and forth in the room, his agitation evident.
âyou know i hate going to those parties,â you say, looking up from your movie. âitâs just not my thing.â
max stops pacing and turns to face you, his expression earnest. âi know, schatje. but iâd really like it if you came with me and we could take this chance to introduce you to my friends.â
you let out a sigh, knowing heâs right. youâve always avoided these social events, preferring the comfort of your home. but you also understand how much it means to max to have you by his side. the thought of mingling with strangers and navigating the party scene fills you with a twinge of discomfort, but maxâs hopeful gaze softens the resistance in your heart. his charm is hard to resist.
âalright, you got me.â you finally say, turning off the tv and setting it aside. âiâll go.â
maxâs face lights up with a relieved smile. âthank you,â he says, walking over and sitting down beside you. he takes your hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. âyouâre amazing.â
hours later, you and max push through the heavy doors of the club, stepping into the pulsating energy of the nightlife. the air is thick with the scent of perfumes and the warmth of bodies pressed close together. the moment you get in, the thumping bass of the music hits you, resonating through the floor and vibrating up your spine. the club is awash with flashing lights that dance across the room, casting a frenetic glow on the crowd already swaying to the rhythm.
you glance at max, who is beaming with excitement. heâs been looking forward to this night, wanting to celebrate one more time the two-month mark of your relationship with another celebration; introducing you to his friends, making everything even more real. you, however, are feeling a wave of discomfort. max looks back at you with a hopeful smile, clearly thrilled to be here and eager to share this experience with you. his enthusiasm is palpable, and despite your reservations, you canât help but feel a pang of guilt for not being as excited. if something, you were mostly nervous. you want his friends to like you.
âimagine how much i love you that you convinced me to come clubbing,â you say, leaning in close to be heard over the music. the words slipping out effortlessly, as if youâve said them to him countless times before.
max freezes for a moment, his eyes widening with surprise. his usual easy smile shifts into something radiant, a grin that lights up his whole face as your words sink in. for a moment, the music momentarily fades into the background as his attention focuses solely on you. and you can't help but notice the way his expression softens, something warmer flickering in his gaze.
âwhat?â you ask, frowning a little as if to play off the sudden shift in his demeanor. feeling the weight of the moment but still unsure of why heâs staring at you like that.
âyou just said you love me,â max replies, his voice softer now, almost disbelieving, but his expression bright with delight.
you meet his gaze, a flush of warmth spreading across your cheeks. the confession hangs between you, mingling with the clubâs electric atmosphere. you shrug playfully, âwell, i do. any problem with that?â
maxâs smile widens, his eyes sparkling with genuine affection. ânah,â he replies, his voice soft but filled with warmth.
he steps closer, wrapping his arms around your waist and pulling you into a gentle embrace. as he leans in, his lips meet yours in a tender kiss. the crowd, the music, and the flashing lights seem to blur into insignificance as he gently presses his lips against yours. itâs a sweet, sincere kiss, a quiet moment in the middle of the chaos.
when he pulls away, his eyes meet yours with a look of complete contentment. you can see the love reflected in his gaze, matching the warmth that blooms in your chest. âi love you too.â he says softly.
you chuckle softly, breaking the spell with a playful tone. âit was about time you said it.â
maxâs grin widens even further, his laughter mingling with the background music. âoh, shut up.â he chuckles, leaning in for another kiss, this one deeper and filled with the promise of shared moments. the overwhelming energy feels a bit more manageable with max by your side. what says i love you more than that?

ă ⌠how would Slytherin boys react to you having a crush on them ⌠ă [part1]
1-Matteo Riddle
He might playfully tease you, feigning ignorance to gauge your sincerity.
Mattheo wouldn't reveal his emotions readily. He'd observe you more closely, trying to decipher your motives and the genuineness of your feelings.
If he reciprocates your feelings (even slightly), a possessive glint might enter his eyes. He wouldn't tolerate competition and would make sure everyone knew you were "off-limits."
The usual smirk might falter for a moment, replaced by a vulnerability he wouldn't dare show anyone else. He might become a touch more protective towards you.
Once comfortable, Mattheo would unleash his Slytherin charm. Expect witty banter, playful challenges, and subtle hints that he enjoys your attention. He becomes increasingly affectionate, enveloping you in his arms, and planting public kisses to assert his claim, convincing everyone that you were his.
2-Theodore Nott
Theodore would likely maintain his usual stoic expression, giving away nothing. But a keen eye might detect a flicker of surprise or a subtle change in his posture.
He might disappear for a short while to process his feelings.
Don't expect a grand confession. Theodore shows his affection through subtle gestures â offering his cloak during a cold night, helping you with a difficult spell, or simply appearing when you need him most.
Once he lets you in, Theodore becomes fiercely loyal. He'd be your silent protector, always watching your back and eliminating any threats (perceived or real).he will get jealous easily threatening someone in the dark hallway just for making you laugh.
3-Lorenzo Berkshire
Lorenzo's usual playful smile widens into a confident smirk. He might raise an eyebrow, his amusement evident. He wouldn't be surprised by your crush â his charm is undeniable, after all. But there might be a hint of genuine pleasure in his eyes, a confirmation of his own perception.
Lorenzo would seize the opportunity to impress you further. He might offer a dramatic bow, his voice dropping to a theatrical whisper as he declares himself forever smitten.
He wouldn't take your crush too seriously at first. Lorenzo enjoys the game of love, the playful dance of flirting and teasing. He might playfully tease you about your feelings, mimicking your flustered expression or inventing elaborate stories about your supposed undying devotion.
Despite the playful teasing, Lorenzo has a protective streak. If he senses someone else vying for your attention, his demeanor might shift. The playful charm might be replaced by a more serious gaze, a subtle warning to potential rivals that you're â Forbidden to others â He would ensure you feel safe and secure, his protectiveness disguised as simple chivalry.
As he spends more time with you, Lorenzo's feelings might deepen. The playful teasing might lessen, replaced by genuine conversations and a sincere interest in getting to know you better. He'll make it clear to everyone that you're important to him, always touching you and showing affection, like kissing your neck and giving you flowers regularly.
