#good luck with starting your job tomorrow OP!!!! I wish you all the best. You got this

[ineffablymanic]

It was just a simple annual report, Aziraphale thought. Deeds of the year. He’d done some blessings. Minor miracles, such as keeping drivers awake enough to prevent car crashes. The assignment to boost a national charity organization's efforts was a success.

The way Gabriel peered down at him, with his scowling, piercing, bored from the get-go stare made it always feel like nothing Aziraphale did was enough.

Aziraphale was calm, he was, this was routine, but his corporation disagreed. He kept staring at the summoning circle. He just needed to say the words. His palms were sweaty and his clothes felt too tight. The pressure against his sternum kept increasing as he felt Gabriels boot push against it. He couldn’t do this. Tomorrow might be better. But he’d told himself that he’d do this tomorrow for a week straight. He was late already. Stop being useless. His sight was getting blurry as he felt his heart pounding against his throat and he heard his blood rushing in his ears. The boot pressed heavier. He couldn’t breathe.

“Angel.”

One soft word was enough to pull him out of the swirling darkness that had formed around Aziraphale, and he gasped like he had reached the surface before drowning. Crowley had lingered in the bookshop when Aziraphale had accidentally told him about the report and his tardiness. Crowley had helped him with his report. He’d set the candles. He was supposed to have left by now, but apparently he’d stayed at the door, seeing that Aziraphale got started. Now Crowley was standing next to him and he set his hand on Aziraphale’s shoulder to pat it. The hand stayed on the shoulder slightly too long, turning the touch to almost a caress, before Crowley pulled away. Aziraphale missed the warm touch immediately.

“You got this. I’ll tempt you for lunch afterwards,” Crowley murmured, and stepped back again.

Aziraphale blinked furiously to dispel the prickling feeling in his eyes and gave Crowley a shy, grateful smile. Many four letter words flashed in his mind, but he knew not to say any of them out loud.

Aziraphale turned back to the circle and said the words, feeling braver facing Heaven with a demon in the room.

huffing panting i start a new 3d animation job tomorrow im very nervous please reblog with aziraphales or wish me luck i need it AAAAAAA

Steve Rogers x Teen!Stark!reader Happy Birthday Cap

Requested, based on this imagine. This is a platonic fic bc reader is underage okay bye luv u btw this fic is late ik sorry and i have no facts in here lol please enjoy oh and I can’t write and this fic is long sorry :)

I was chilling on the couch enjoying my summer by watching Friends, when Steve walked in, plopping on the chair beside me sighing. “What’s up Cap?” I asked, muting the TV.

“Nothing.” he replied, but his somber expression said otherwise. “Come one you look like you just punched a dog, what’s wrong?” he looked up from the floor. He looked at me for a second before looking back down. “It’s stupid.”

I scoffed. “Steve, If something or someone made you upset it is not stupid to me, now spill.” He looked at me. “Please?” He sighed, before crossing his arms. “There was this candy shop Buck and I used to go to growing up, it was one of those one’s that you see in those movies about the 30′s,” I nodded. “ It’s just an abandoned building now, but I found out that they’re tearing it down for a hotel.”

“Oh no, I’m sorry Steve.” I said giving him a hug. “It’s okay, just a part of getting old I guess.” he laughed, but I knew it was forced. “I could get my dad to buy the land if you want? We could open a cool little shop.” He laughed again, a real one this time. “No it’s fine. Thank you for listening though, and not thinking it was stupid.” “Of course it’s not stupid! It’s from your childhood!”

He patted my head before standing up. “Why is Friends muted?” Sam asked walking into the room. “Started talking about whoop whoop and Steve got uncomfortable.” I said standing up. “(Name)!” Steve exclaimed, causing me to run into the hallway. I heard Sam teasing Steve before closing my door. “Jarvis? Can you show me the store Cap was talking about?” “Of course ma’am,” He gave you an address and the information on the company who owns it, and the schedule to demolish it.

________________________________________________________________

The next day you were at the Store with the company manager, I adjusted my sunglasses as he was currently blabbing about how the building was too old and the plans for the hotel.  “And the hotel will-” “Let me just stop you there bud, I already know everything that is going to happen, I just want to look at the buildings that you will be destroying here, so if you could just stay out here I’d appreciate it.” I said closing the old candy store door in his face.

I might have been a little rude but what kind of adult speaks of this place like a teenage girls going to invest in it? I maybe a Stark but still.  “Alright Jarvis, what do we have here? Anything cool I can make out of this place?” I said scanning the room, looking at the candy containers and other knick knacks left behind. “The building has western platform framing, little damage, no termites.” “Could I use this wood to build a bookshelf?” I asked looking at the counter, the glasses scanned the piece. “Yes, the wood hasn’t been damaged.”

“Good” I looked around a little more before walking up the stairs. Looking around I found an old game machine.  “What do we have here Jarvis?” “It appears to be a pinball machine.” “Anything that isn’t obvious?” I asked. “A Five Star Final Jr. pinball machine from 1932.” “Sounds like it could be worth something, doesn’t matter though cause it will be in Steve’s possession tomorrow.” I said to myself, before picking up said (heavy) machine. I struggled down the stairs and out the front door, seeing the company manager standing where I left him.

“Put this in my truck would ya? I’m weak and young” I said handing it to him. “U-Uh yes Ms.Stark.” I looked around, seeing some construction workers. I approached. “Excuse me, do one of you have a hammer I could borrow?” They looked at me before laughing. I rolled my eyes. “Typical” I said before grabbing one out of the bag next to one of them. “Hey! What are you doing?” One of them yelled. “Your job!”

I walked back into the ‘store’ walking to the counter before ripping it up, putting the wood in  a pile. I looked at the door when I was finished seeing the manager and workers standing there. “You going to help me put these in my truck or get out the way. They quickly scrambled grabbing the wood and running out the door. “That’s what I thought.”

________________________________________________________________

After getting everything I needed from the building I went to an antique store, finding some vinyls and books he didn’t already have.

I finally got home, making sure I had a tarp over my trunk so no one could see what I got. Now I just had to sneak from the garage to my room without being caught by Steve. The elevator ride to the hallway was easy, but when the doors opened I listened for movement in the living room. Not hearing any I bolted from the elevator to my door.

“(Name)?” I froze turning to see Steve in the doorway of the living room.

“Where were you?” “The Dog store.” “Dog store?” “Yeah It’s like a new thing it’s separate stores of different animals so If you’re allergic to one animal you don’t have to be near them.” “Really? Where is it?”

“Oh uh downtown? I don’t remember, I was trying to go to Walgreens but found it and got distracted, because I wanted a dog.” “So is a dog in one of those bags?” He gestured to my bags. “They are dog...ceramics instead, because I am not ready to take care of a dog yet. So I’m going to put these up, bye!”  I ran into my room to avoid further questioning. I sighed after closing the door.

________________________________________________________________

I woke up the next morning at 3am to make sure I finished sorting everything before Steve woke up, which usually is 5am on weekdays. I cleaned up the pinball machine before wrapping it, putting it in my room. Then I brought the wood up to the workshop where I found my dad working on something. “What are you doing up kid? And where did you get all the wood? Normal parents don’t have to asked that (Name).” He said picking up one of the planks, examining it.

“Normal kids aren’t Starks.” I replied pulling out my tools. “Touche,” He paused, sitting in the seat in front of my table. “So, what are you doing with a pile of wood at 4 in the morning?” He asked. “I am making a bookshelf.” “For Cap?” “Yeah, he was saying that he needed one so I figured I’d make one.” “Where’d you get the wood from?” “Some building that’s being demolished, went in, stole some planks, and bolted.” I answered, putting my gloves on.

“That’s my girl.” He said, standing up. “I’m going to get to bed, good luck kid.” “Thanks dad.” He turned on some music for me before leaving, while I got to work.

________________________________________________________________

After a couple of hours I finished the bookshelf, wrapping it like a pro. I saw it was 7am, and decided to pass out on the couch. I was woke up to someone shaking me. “Huh?” I rubbed my eyes, looking at the person who woke me up. “Oh, Happy Birthday Steve!” I said sitting up. “Thanks, what are you doing on the couch?” He asked, sitting next to me. “I wanted to be the first to wish you a happy birthday, but then I fell asleep.” I said with a face that showed I was disappointed in myself.

He laughed, setting the cup of coffee he had on the table. “Don’t worry, you were the first.” “I was?” I asked excitedly, he nodded, causing me to laugh. “Yes!” Nat and Sam walked into the room, getting their morning coffee. “Happy Birthday Cap.”  They both said. “hehe I was first” I said quietly, causing Steve to chuckle, before going to my room to get cleaned up for the day.

________________________________________________________________

We spent the day outside, having a true American 4th of July, because Steve didn’t to make a big deal about his birthday but I sure was gonna. BBQ, yard games, and swimming in the pool I made my dad put outside. Around dinner, we gave Steve our presents. “I’m last!” I yelled, dragging my stuff to the backyard. I put the bookshelf in Steve’s room, bringing everything else outside, setting them on the table with the other presents. “(Name), ” Everyone laughed at the amount of things I had.

“I’m last.” I said again sitting down. He opened everyone else’s gifts, and at last it was my turn. “Alright (Name) what did you do?” Sam asked as I plopped the gift in front of Steve. “I saw and I got.” I replied. “She’s definitely a Stark.” Clint said. He opened the vinyls first, then the books. “What is this?” Steve asked, grabbing the wrapped pinball machine. He unwrapped the the paper. “A Five Star Final.” “What?” Sam looked at it confused.

“It’s a pinball machine” I replied. “It looks just like the one I played with when I was a kid.” Steve said. “Welllllll, It might be the one?” Steve looked at me. “I found it in the candy store.” “You went there?” “I was curious.” He stood up, giving me a big hug. “Thank you.” “Of course.” “Are we missing something here?” Clint asked. “You kids wouldn’t understand.” I said, letting go of Steve. “Happy Birthday Steve!” I said, everyone else yelling ‘happy birthday’ too.

________________________________________________________________

I was in my room, when Steve knocked on my door. “What’s in my room?” He asked. “Oh yeah!” I ran to his room, seeing the present still wrapped. “I didn’t want to flex too hard in front of everybody.” “What?” “Just open it! Open open open open op-” “Okay okay!” He laughed tearing the patriotic paper. “A bookshelf?” “That I made, from the counter of the shop.” “(Name).” “You didn’t want me to buy the store, so I did the next best thing I could think of.”

He gave me a hug, more bear-like then the one before. “Thank you so much (Name), I don’t think anyone’s has ever put so much thought into my gifts before.” I smiled, squeezing Steve as hard as I could, causing him to let out a laugh.

“Now you have to get me the best present for my birthday.”

i do borrow my books sadly. i kind of have to because i don’t have anymore place to put my books (we live in a small apartment) and books are kind of expensive :( i don’t mind borrowing though because i don’t really reread books unless they’re super special so it’s fine. do you buy yours? I HAVE READ LEGEND. i read it waaaay back in grade school haha, it’s been ages ago. i’ve never seen anyone say it’s their favorite but i can see why you feel that way. it’s kind of underrated in the community for sure.

hm it depends. (i just reaslised i said this exact phrasing last time too lmfao) i think i usually give up on it for a while? but sometimes i try to force myself through it too, just to get over that section so i can hopefully move on to a better one wait sorry i misread your question LOL. i usually leave it for the day as opposed to give up on it for a while! if i’m actively working on something i’d prefer to continue working at it slowly, even if the progress is just me opening the doc and then exiting after 5 mins fhdskj. are you the same? (NO!!! DO NOT SHUT UP @ YOU i never get to talk about writing processes pls im enjoying this a lot)

nice!! the vibes when writing during the day are sometimes better as well, bc it’s still light and stuff you’re not sitting in the dark or with a light on.. lol. it’s more ~natural~ & omg legendary... i love that for you!! on that note, do you usually study at school/cafes/libraries? i pretty much can only study at home, i hate doing it anywhere else. 

ahh that’s fair :( and yeah i agree books can get so expensive? like the authors def deserve to be compensated for all their hard work but damn lmao. oh that’s a good point! i do buy books yeah, and i don’t even necessarily reread them i just like having them on the shelf fhdskfd (there are many i haven’t even read for the first time... oops.) what ages do grade school cover? sorry i have no idea what that means fhsjfkshsdkjs the different names for education levels will never not confuse me. !! yeah i really wish legend was more popular aaaaa

Coming of Age

@nalulovelovefest -Day 4 Unbearable  Rated M- NSFW

Just another day for the friends as Natsu and Lucy walk into the Fairytail guild that morning to check the job board.  She had insisted on taking an easy job without him to make some extra spending money, but as soon as they reach the board to peruse the offerings, Gajeel gestures at Natsu to talk.  That was a bit odd, they weren’t close, and usually their dealing were to throw jabs at each other.

With an eye still on Lucy, Natsu crosses his arms expecting a fight, “what is it, metal head?”

“I heard your birthday is coming up, how old are ya gonna be?”

“Why?” Natsu pauses as he calculates the years, “I think 21.”

A wide smirk crosses over Gajeel, “in that case, how’s your relationship with bunny girl?  You guys still just friends or what?”

“She’s my best friend that’s all,” narrowing his eyes, “since when do you care?”

“Gehe!  Guess no one’s told ya about a slayer’s 21’st year.”

Natsu cocks his head to the side, “do I get a bigger party or something?”

With a hearty laugh, he slaps Natsu in the shoulder and starts to walk away, “well something’s gonna get bigger!”  

“Oi!” Natsu calls after him, “What the hell do you mean?”  But Gajeel keeps walking and laughing at a joke only he knew the answer to. Muttering obscenities at the iron slayers back, Natsu almost didn’t realize Lucy had come up behind him.  

“What was that all about?”

He freezes and turns to her voice, “beats me,” shrugging his shoulders, “said something about a slayer’s 21stbirthday and wanting a bigger party.”

“Bigger party,” she tilts her head slightly, “you want a bigger party?”

“No, I’m cool with hanging out with just you actually.  I don’t need anything special.”

A slight blush falls on Lucy’s cheeks, “well um, speaking of that.  I found an easy mission I’m gonna go do so I can buy your gift.  I should be back in a 2-3 days,” showing him the flyer for waitress help, “the tips are usually good here.”

Since it wasn’t anything exciting, she expected Natsu to simply wish her luck, so she was a bit surprised when the slayer’s demeanor slipped into irritation.  “I don’t know if I like that idea,” his brows furrowed. “Guys give you bigger tips cause they’re checking you out.”

“So?  Isn’t that kinda the point?  It’s not like they get anything else from me.”

He scratches his head in confusion, since when did he care about Lucy taking waitressing jobs?  “I’m sorry, I don’t know why that came out like that.  It’s fine, maybe I’ll take something easy too.  Are they looking for waiters, I could help ya out?”

“Hmm,” Lucy re-reads the flyer, “it’s doesn’t specify only females, so I don’t see why not.”  Looking back at her friend, “but are you sure, cause you could probably find something with action instead on the board.”

“Nah.”  His trademark smile making an entrance, “I could use the extra cash too.”  Natsu holds out his hand, “faster we get there the more money you can make.”

“Okay,” she smiles and takes it, “having company will be less lonely too.”

Or maybe not.  While Natsu always made their missions livelier, and sometimes embarrassing, this was the first time that Lucy actually started to worry about her friend.  Only a day into the job and she had started talking about going home.  It seemed that his little comment back at the guild had just been a preview of what was to come.  First, it was just glaring at the male customers from a distance, then it turned into taking the tables with guys on them before she could.  Was Natsu trying to keep her away from them?  

When she’d question it, he acted like she was just imagining things and flash his grin.  When she mentioned the word jealousy he scoffed, what did he have to be jealous of?  It was true, it’s not like these customers were going to steal her away or even did really anything to deserve the insinuation except look in her direction.  Eventually it became, he ‘sensed’ foul motives from the men, whatever the hell that even meant.  All she knew, is it was killing her tips and getting on the managers nerves.          

So, by the time they reached their motel room on the second night, Lucy confronted the slayer. “Natsu, you are totally not acting like yourself.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

She crosses her arms, “I know what protective  Natsu looks like and this is more like, I don’t know, a possessive and jealous Natsu instead.”  He huffs and looks away as she fires question after question at him. “What was it that Gajeel told you? What is so special about your birthday? How is it related to being a slayer? Why would he say you’d want a bigger party?  It has to mean something.  Is it embarrassing and that’s why you won’t tell me?”

“He didn’t tell me anything I swear!  I figured he was just trying to get on my nervous, you know how he is.”  Natsu reaches to uncurl her arms, “I’m sorry, I don’t know why I’m acting weird.  Stuff comes out of my mouth before I can think…”

Rolling her eyes, “that’s not new.”

“Okay I deserved that crack, but seriously, you know I wouldn’t do anything to hurt you or make you sad on purpose.”

Lucy’s body slowly relaxes, “I know you wouldn’t…”

“You’re my best friend,” he leans his forehead to hers, “can’t fault me for being protective over that.”

With a sigh, Lucy’s hand moves up to rest over his heart, “just please try to be nicer to the customers tomorrow Natsu.  I really want to give you a nice gift, but I can’t if I don’t make enough tips.”

“Okay.”

That night, as soon as the dreams took hold of the slayer, he was sent into a situation hotter than any fire he’d ever consumed.  It was like every wet dream, wanton desire, and covetous thought he’d ever had of his best friend was manifesting into an eroticism that would shock the most perverted of minds and there was nothing he could do but indulge in the fantasy. Natsu’s body craved every touch this dream woman was giving him, hungered to taste her flesh, to suckle at her mountains and traverse her hidden valleys.  Dear god, he thirsted for…  her blood!

So, startled by the physical aspects of the dream, it had actually woken him up in a panic, afraid that it was real.  Flushed with sweat, his sheets soaked through and lightly singed, clearly Natsu had been experiencing something.  He quickly checks the other bed in the room and while she had kicked her blankets off, probably from a rise in room temperature, Lucy appeared to still be asleep. Thank goodness for small favors.    

He’d had a few fantasy dreams about a certain celestial mage, but never of this magnitude before.  If he licked his lips, the taste of her skin was still fresh, her scent was still heady, and his fingertips tingled from touches that weren’t even real.  What the hell was that all about!   This was Lucy he was dreaming about!  Lucy! Natsu shudders from the very idea of doing to her what he had in the dream.  It didn’t matter if the imaginary one begged for it.  She wasn’t real, there was no way in hell he could just take the real Lucy…  ‘that’s what Gajeel was getting at!’  “Ugh…” he drops back onto the bed, ‘bastard could’a warned me!’   Too afraid to go back to sleep, Natsu opts for a cold shower instead and maybe a bit of handled relief.

Once the bathroom door closes, Lucy takes a chance and partially opens her eyes, but as soon as she hears the shower turn on, and could gauge about how long he would be, they pop open and she sits up.  For about an hour the celestial mage had stayed wide awake, unsure of what to make of her best friend in the other bed, and with no clue as to what to do.  With the amount of twisting and moaning Natsu was doing, it didn’t take a lot of imagination to guess the kind of dream he was having.  And she’d be a hypocrite to chastise him for something she herself has had on occasion. But what had worried her, was when the temperature in the room had started to feel like a raging bonfire and even in the dark, she could see heat waves coming from his body.  Frankly, if it had carried on for too much longer Lucy would have had to wake him up or flee in fear of a real fire bursting forth from the man.

First the weird behavior at the guild, then the restaurant, and now the slayer was having erotic dreams?! Lucy had no idea if this was a normal occurrence for Natsu, but considering Gajeel’s comments, maybe these were all tied together somehow.  But as what?!   A few minutes later the shower turns off and Lucy quickly dives back under the covers, positioning her arm in a way to hide her eyes from view but still keep them a little open.

When the door opens, her heart skips a beat as the slayer appears in the frame with just a towel wrapped around his waist and outlined by the glow of an overhead light.  ‘Stop it,’ she groans internally, ‘it’s not the first time you’ve seen him like…. Oh, Mavis help me!’   As he simply walks over to his duffle, drops the towel and begins to put on a new outfit.  Bending down to pull on his boxers, the muscles in his ass and thighs flexing…  Lucy knew she should close her eyes but damn it they weren’t cooperating!  Suddenly, his foot catches on the leg part.  He stumbles, body twisting slightly and revealing what she knew from Erza’s smut books to be… ‘EEK!’   Lucy barely catches the scream that bubbled up in her throat.  

But not quickly enough. Natsu’s head whips around, eyes trained on Lucy who squeezes hers shut and forces her breathing to still.  “Are you awake Luce?”  He could’a sworn he’d heard something…  Her breathing seemed typical, eyes closed, body motionless, but something had changed.  Pulling up his boxers, he tilts his nose and takes a deep inhale.  Yes, her scent was definitely a little headierthan usual and now that he was firmly aware of it... Natsu runs a hand down his face, he was probably going to regret this, but he quietly walks over and lifts the blankets as gently as he could to release more scent….  And it hits, as soon as he lifts past her waist the scent becomes too potent.  He drops the blanket uncaring if it woke her and rushed back to the bathroom, locking himself in.

Lucy’s eyes fly open, what the hell just freaked Natsu out?   She looks down at her body, nothing was different about her than when they’d gone to bed.  For all intents and purposes, she was sure he thought she was asleep.  Unable to simply ignore the situation anymore, she sneaks up to the bathroom door, listening for any cues that might help her unravel the mystery.  But what she hears was certainly eye opening.

Through hushed tones and mumbled jargon, things like mate, horny,and sex were spilling from Natsu’s lips.  Instincts kicking in, can’t do that to her….  Who the hell was ‘her’?   She wondered, did Natsu have a crush she didn’t know about?  Scent, triggered…. A cold sweat settling over the spirit mage, scent, what scent?   And that’s when the rug was pulled out. After a noisy exhale on his part, that frankly sounded like a deep moan trying to be suppressed, Lucy, fuck, I want you so bad…  She clasps a hand over her mouth, as if the embarrassment of seeing him naked wasn’t enough, but he wasn’t done yet.  Ashamed, doesn’t want me…. Asuka… kiss….

Oh, Mavis he thinks I don’t like him!   It’s true that in that long-ago moment, when Asuka was telling them to kiss she’d gotten cold-feet, but…. I’ve gotta fix this somehow!   Swallowing her embarrassment and steeling her resolve, Lucy gingerly knocks at the door.  “Natsu, please come out of there.”

She hears him suck in a breath before responding.  “I can’t do that.”

“Yes, you can,” doing her best to hide her anxiety while still sounding normal, “Natsu, I think….” she deeply exhales, “I know what I want to give you for your birthday.  It’s something money cannot buy.  So please,” voice cracking, “come out here so I can give it to you.”

Natsu cringes away from the door, his suspicions now confirmed that she had been up, she’d probably heard him, oh crap had she been up through the dream too!  All of his fears were coming to fruition and he was trapped in the bathroom!  His eye flit over to the small window, maybe I could break out of here….  Gah! I can’t run out on her like that! But how am I supposed to face her!

The longer Natsu remained silent, an anxious Lucy starts to pace as doubt-fueled concerns slip into her mind.  Had she been wrong about it all?  But he’d said her name and she was sure there wasn’t any other Lucy’s around him.  Then again, she could have mistaken the context of his words…  Holding back the tears, “alright I’m sorry, I won’t push you.  Maybe, I was wrong about how you felt about me after all.”  She turns her back to the door as a few tears leak down her cheek and her hopes dashed like a wrecked ship against the shore. “I’ll just see you in the morning.”

Now he’d gone and done it. Natsu could smell the salt of her tears, heard the whimper behind her words.  He hated when Lucy cried, his blood boiled whenever someone made her cry, and now, I’m one of those bastards…. But he could fix this.  Slapping himself in the face, this was for Lucy, goddammit!   The girl he’s always wanted, and it seems she wanted him too!  Grow a pair and go comfort your woman you idiot!   He growls at himself, I know, I know!  and throws open the door.

The loud bang of the door slamming open, makes Lucy jump but she doesn’t turn around.  Part of her wanted to run to her bed and dive under the covers, but the other half wanted to know….  

Hands snake around her midsection, nails dragging across the taunt surface and sending shivers all throughout her body.  Whispers, heated with amorous intent fill her ear, “why would you think I wouldn’t want you…” Moving to the other ear, “do you have any idea how much I’ve wanted you for years?  It’s been unbearable at times, but I respected our friendship.”  

“Y-Years?”

“And now this instinct crap is making that damn near impossible.”  He weaves a hand up to her throat, tilting her head to the side. “Now do see why I was afraid to come out?”  Letting his canines drag against her skin and relishing all the little quivers it gives her. “Is this what you want Lucy?  Even now I’m barely able to hold myself back from just taking you as my mate whether you…”

“Do it,” she blurts out. “That’s what I was gonna tell you. My gift to you… i-is me.”

He straightens out, “Wait, what?”  

“You’re right, I was afraid of ruining our friendship too but,” Lucy turns around in his arms and punches his chest, “you big idiot, of course you’re the only one I’ve ever wanted!”

That’s all he needed to hear.  A reverberating growl sends a heated tremor straight through Lucy seconds before she found herself pushed up against the wall and her night shirt being yanked over her head.  Natsu latches onto the nape of her neck, licking and suckling at her pulse point. The feeling of his sharp canines ghosting over her flesh had Lucy mewling and moisture saturated her panties as a result.  Natsu grins at the added scent she was giving off and slides his hand into the fabric, oh it was soaked!  

More groans leach forth from the frazzled woman as his finger, then two slips into her pussy. While his other hand toys with her breasts and his mouth works on her neck, those fingers test the waters, curling, pumping at differing speeds to see which pulled the greatest reactions. Natsu was like a cat loving on a new toy and all of Lucy’s vocalizations only fueled his actions.  He pulls his face back to observe the contortion of hers, pumping even harder to increase her cries.  Natsu licks his lips as a new idea rolls into his brain.  

He slides his hand out of her panties and pulls away from her.  Lucy’s about to throw a fit when he suddenly drops to his knees, cuts the offending fabric away and hoists her onto his shoulders.  “What are you….”  a slurry of expletives gushes forth and she grips to his hair when his mouth consumes her pussy.  Leave it to Natsu to devour her like an all you can eat buffet.  

It was his turn to moan and salivate over the delicacy, lapping up all her sexual juices before it could flow past his chin.  “Fuck… tastes… yum,” his mouth too busy sucking on her clit or tongue rolling the little bud to worry about sentences.  Natsu slides his fingers back in to her pussy, pumping at a rapid pace and that sends Lucy’s body arching, legs clamping around his head just to keep from falling off.  

All the stimulation was pushing Lucy past the point of no return.  “Natsu you’re gonna make me cum!” but her cries were falling on deaf ears, for he was too engrossed in his ministrations.  Her scents, her taste, her cries, all mingling and clouding his mind in a euphoria of its own.  “Nat…suuuu!!!”  it was only when Lucy’s body stiffened and was practically strangling him with her thighs, that he realized….  Something arcane takes over his mind and while Lucy is in the throes of the orgasm, his canine nicks her outer labia.  She flinches briefly, but with a few flicks of his tongue to seal the tiny pin prick, it was almost like nothing had happened.  If anything, those additional strokes by his tongue against her overly stimulated folds gave her a few more electric jolts and he made sure to slurp up any excess flow of moisture.  

“Y-you bit me didn’t you,” she pants, unable regulate her breathing at the moment.  

He shifts her legs off his shoulders, “Mmhmm,” was his only response because he was too fixated on completing his conquest, scoops her back up and drops her onto the bed.  

“But why… does it have to do with…”

“Don’t know, brain just told me do it.”  Crawling over her body, “no goin back now Luce,” he grins and burns off his boxers. Lucy flinched the instant his body flared up, even closing her eyes….  Eh?  No burning pain!  She opens them to see his cocky smile, “guess there was a reason for it after all.”

“Could’a warned me! Oomph!”  Natsu seizes upon her lips and smothers anymore complaints from the blonde with passion laden kisses.  Trailing them along her jaw line, nibbling, teasing, testing for sweet spots until the heady aromatics wafting from his mate’s body give up their secrets.  Lucy’s natural pheromones were changing, melding into a combination of her florals to his smokier musk driving his inner dragon even wilder.  He moves lower to suckle at her breasts, placing love bites around the pillowy flesh, his hands caressing the rest of her body, curving with the swell of her hips, and molding along the firm flesh of her abdomen, as visions of filling it with his seed take hold.  

Natsu almost howls from the images of a pregnant Lucy carrying their child dancing in his mind. Fuck yes!  Lucy will be a perfect mother, he just knows it!  Wow, why hadn’t he thought of this sooner!  Coveting her lips once more, his pelvis shifts and centers, pressing his cock against her folds.  She mewls its welcome, arching her body and weaving her legs over his thighs to apply pressure.  So, Natsu lifts his hips and lines up.  With unspoken cues, she nods, biting her lip in anticipation of the pain that may come and he’s not blind to them, sending warmth to his cock for added heat to soothe the muscles.  The last thing this dragon wanted to do was cause his mate pain.  

Slow and measured, he pushes through Lucy’s walls, cringing whenever her face contorts even just a little. She appreciated the gentleness of Natsu’s actions, even the heating gesture for it was helping to relax her. Once seated as far as he could go, Natsu caresses her cheek, smoothing his thumb over the silky skin, and placing chaste little kisses upon her lips.  “I love you Luce…”

She smiles, returning his kisses, “I love you too.”  Readjusting her frame, when Lucy feels it’s a more comfortable angle, she grinds her hips to show she’s ready.  Through half-lidded eyes and with a purr in her tone, “now slay me oh dragon.”

Cocking an eyebrow, “you are so weird Luce, why would I slay my mate?”

Oh, brother.  “Never mind,” she chuckles, “I meant, fuck me Natsu.”  And as if to drive the point home, bucks her hips roughly.

“Well why didn’t you just say so!”  

With measured thrusts, Natsu rocks into Lucy, pumping with the support of his legs and hips.  She plants her hands against the headboard to keep from sliding backward, bending her body as his arcing trusts begin to lift upwards.  Over and over he pounds into her.  But he wants to go harder, and this position wasn’t giving him enough leverage.  Frustrated, Natsu stops for a moment to catch his breath then sits back on his haunches.  He grips her waist, with her legs hanging over his forearms, and impales her again.  

Lucy gasps at the deeper reach it provided as his legs, now acting as springs, allows for unrelenting thrusts, burying his cock into her core.  She arches her back, using her arms to hold up the curvature of her spine. But that position wasn’t going to last very long so, she flails above her head for a pillow and shoves it under her lower back.  One problem solved, Lucy is reduced to holding her breasts down from all the bouncing to solve another.  

When Lucy looks up at her man, his eyes are closed in concentration and his face was contorted. Any other time, the weird expressions would make her laugh, but if her cries were any indication, she was probably faring no better than he.  The room was turning into a sauna, no flames yet, but hot as hell.  Things were definitely heating up, literally and all Lucy could do was hold on for the ride.    

All of his grunts were starting to sound shakier along with some of his thrusts and after her own experience of it, Lucy realized he was probably close to his climax. “N-Natsu...  you should slow down…. If you’re close to…”

“I know,” he pants. But her pussy was like a drug milking the slayer for everything he was worth.  Natsu just couldn’t stop.  “You feel… too fucking good…”  

His legs were starting to shake, so his hands lend support, pulling her body towards him as his hips drive forward.  Heat waves were visible now, even in the dim lighting provided by the bathroom.  She had a feeling the flames wouldn’t hurt her, and damages to the room would be bad, but it’s not like she could stop him now. Fuck, she didn’t want him to stop. Natsu was showing her all the constellations every time she closed her eyes!  

Natsu’s onslaught grows ever more erratic and his voice hits a new octave as a garbled version of her name spills out along with gibberish when he reaches his orgasm.  Jagged thrusts of his hips follow as his seed spilled forth into Lucy’s womb, her own muscles palpitating against his shaft to make sure every drop is extracted.  “Wholly fuck!” he breathes out and falls over onto Lucy when the last pulse left him sent.  Natsu didn’t even have the energy to pull out.  

She let him catch his breath before rolling his heavier body off her and before he became dead weight.  Of course, he whined about it, having gone from the virile slayer who needed to mollify his instincts right back to the goofy slayer she’d fallen in love with. Natsu scooched right back over to straddle her side and rest his head amongst her boobs.  Lucy chuckles and runs her fingers though his hair.  They can talk about the whole mate thing in the morning but for now,

I guess he deserves a break after doing all that work….

The Family Business: Chapter Two - First Day

Description: Jax Teller’s sister makes an unexpected return, will she be able to settle back into the life or will it all be too much?

Warnings: smoking, language, not really anything too bad

Word Count: 3,116

Jenna’s POV:

Did I get hit by a bus last night? Well that is what it felt like, clearly last night’s party did not disappoint.

Where am I? I thought as I looked around I noticed I was in the apartment in the clubhouse, but when I rolled over I saw someone under the sheets and realized I was naked. Great, classic Jenna...one-night stand with a Son, never ends well. My rule was to avoid the Charming Sons, other chapters were fair game. That was still a bad idea given who my brother and stepdad are.

Whoever it was rolled over and grabbed my waist and my first instinct was to punch him in the nose, that is when I realized it was Juice. SHIT.

"Oh my God, I am so sorry" I said getting up to get a towel.

"It's okay babe, I love the spunk" Juice replied sitting up in bed.

All I could do was laugh, I hadn't been home 24 hours and I had already slept with Juice and punched someone. This place is always the same for me, sister of a Son, not just a Son but the VP...I have to maintain a hard reputation. Too bad Juice got in the way.

When I found all the clothes I was wearing yesterday, I got dressed and headed out into the clubhouse where I saw Jax and Opie seated at the bar surrounded by at least 20 people passed out all over the room.

"Look who stayed over...how is Juice," Opie asked with a smirk on his face as he wiggled his eyebrows at me.

"He has a broken nose and is trying to find his clothes, so I say it was a good night," I responded with a grin.

"Damn..." Jax and Opie responded in unison as Juice rounded the corner.

"Fuck off," Juice shot back, rolling his eyes.

I went to the kitchen to find something to cook us for breakfast: eggs, bacon and toast is the menu, I guess.

As I finished cooking breakfast I came back to the bar and sat down the plates for the four of us. It was silent as we ate the pitiful excuse for a breakfast. If I make it a habit of being here for breakfast, I need to remember to stock the fridge better.

Opie broke the silence, "Hey Jen, what do you have planned for your first day back in Charming?"

"Have to go to the Courthouse and sign some papers so I can start work, what time is it anyway?" I asked looking around for a clock.

"Oh yeah, misses lawyer lady...it's about 11:30," Opie responded.

"Shit,” I said dropping my fork on my plate.  “I have to be there at 12:30, well I will see you guys later," I said as I ran out to my car.

As I drove to my hotel I kept thinking how I needed to find a more permanent living solution now that I will be in Charming for a while. That was a task for later, maybe I could convince Opie to go with me.

I pulled into the courthouse parking lot at 12:15, how I showered, ironed and got ready in such a short period of time amazes me.

I got through the metal detectors and found my way to the human resources department. It was odd being in the Charming Courthouse…for a job.

"Hello, can I help you with something?" The blonde behind the desk asked.

"Hi, I umm… I’m Jenna Teller and I’m here to fill out the entrance paperwork for the DA's office"

"Right this way, miss" she said as she walked from behind the desk and down the hall to an office marked 'District Attorney, Wesley Rush, J.D.' in white letters. She knocked and showed me in introducing me to him and then closing the door behind her as she left. Her interaction was kept as brief as possible.

"Miss Teller, it is so good to finally meet you in person, we are so excited for you to be here, we are in need of a fresh perspective." He said with a smile.

"I am so happy to be here, thank you for this opportunity," I respond with a shake of his hand.

It was an hour later and I was signing the last form, thank goodness I couldn't take much more of this. I start tomorrow at 8:00 AM with clerk duties with Mr. Rush. I have to start as a clerk with him so I can get more familiar with their processes, then I could start taking on cases as able.

"Here is your sign on bonus Miss. Teller," he said handing me the check for $15,000. I thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head.

"Thank you, Mr. Rush, but this is more than we agree to on the phone."

"First of all, please call me Wes, Mr. Rush is my dad. Secondly, you come highly recommended from your professors and we could really use a young point of view around here" he said with a laugh.

As we said our goodbyes I noticed the Harvard Diploma hanging on the wall. "Harvard?"

"Yes Miss. Teller, that is how we found out about how outstanding you were in all of your classes."

"Well, thank you again, and please call me Jen." I said turning to leave, I have always hated compliments they make me feel awkward.

It was 2:00 pm and I knew the boys would be working at TM, so I decided to head back there and see Gemma for a while.

Juice's POV:

I looked up from the car Jax and me were working on to see Jenna getting out of her car and making her way across the lot. She looked so good in that dress; I loved how it hugged her hips. I had hoped this morning would have went better, I wanted to show her that I can be in a serious relationship this time. I don't want to just hook up anymore, even if the sex with her was amazing.

"Hey, Jen how was the work thing?" I asked, giving her a smile and wiping my hands on a towel.

"Good, I start tomorrow bright and early," she responded as I walked over and kissed her cheek.

She seemed to shy away though, and all I could think was good job Juice push her away now. I wish I could have told her a long time ago how much I cared about her, but the timing never seemed to work out.

"Have you seen mom," she asked Jax, putting a hand on his shoulder to get his attention away from his work.

"She is in the office, I am sure she wants to hear about your day" he said with a laugh.

I rolled my eyes and flipped him the bird as I strode off toward the office.

Jenna's POV:

Gemma never cared about my day and I didn't care about hers, it was mutual. We never talked much, our relationship was…complicated, but neither of us wanted to fix the situation.

"Hey mom" I said as I walked through the office door.

"Hey sweetie, why are you all dressed up? Already got yourself in trouble again?"

"No mom, I got a job with DA and had to fill out paperwork," I said rolling my eyes and leaned against the door frame.

"Don’t roll your eyes at me…so the rumors are true, you are going to stay for a while?"

"Yes, I am staying, I am going apartment hunting later," I responded with no emotion.

"Why don't you just stay at Jax's? He would love to have you."

"Because if I am going to stay I need to be independent, especially of the crazy shit that happens in Jax's life." I shot back as I left the office. “Plus, I don’t want to have to hear Jax’s late night antics.” I said over my shoulder.

I went back to my car and grabbed a change of clothes and went to the clubhouse to change and look for Opie. I was hoping he would come with me to look for apartments so that we could catch up. I missed Op.... I missed him anytime I was away from him. If it wasn't for me getting in trouble with the law in high school and being shipped off to school, he probably wouldn't be married to Donna, but that isn't the point. I need to move on from the past.

"Hey Jen, you look like you are on a mission" Opie said from the bar, distracting me from my thoughts.

"Oh hey Op, I was actually coming to look for you… I was wondering if you would mind going apartment hunting with me?" I asked while giving him a hug, taking in his scent, nothing to strong, just the small of his body wash and cigarettes.

"Of course, but only if we can take my bike," he responded with a smirk.

"I would never object to that," I laughed as I walked into the apartment and changed.

I loved riding behind Opie, more than anyone else, he made me feel safe and free. Juice was good too but I have always ridden behind Op if I was with the guys. I do love Juice but I think he was always my go to person, the one that made mom and dad mad, I know that makes me a horrible person but oh well, that ship sailed a long time ago. Plus, Juice was very immature and I couldn't risk a relationship with him compromising my job. Opie, on the other hand, was the one you could bring home to the parents. There was only one problem, Opie was Jax's best friend so unfortunately off limits.

We rode downtown to look at a couple of apartments that were over a few of the stores and businesses. The one above the pharmacy and general store in particular; I have always wanted to live here but could never afford it until now. It is one of the few places left in charming that has the good ole American small town feel and untouched by club business.

It was surprising to find that they had recently renovated some of the apartments on main street as part of the 'revamp the city' plan a couple of years back. I had called the realtor to see if she could show it today and with some luck she could.

It was a one-bedroom loft/studio style apartment with a killer kitchen, which is a plus because I love to cook. It also has a good view of the town. Opie seems so unimpressed right now, but who cares I want this place and he will grow to love if it was my home, hopefully. I know I should look around for more places, but that's not my style, plus Charming doesn’t have many options.

"How much a month and what is included?" I asked the realtor.

"$1,500 a month and that covers everything, with a $3,000 deposit, which is the first and last months rent" she responded, looking from me to Opie and back. She clearly seemed to be thinking that the price was way above what I could manage…well joke is on her.

"Great I will take it!" I said with the biggest smile in the world.

"Sweetheart you and this biker thug can't afford something like this." She said in a condescending tone. Making Opie tense and take a few steps toward her until I stepped in between them.

"Well actually me and him aren't buying this place together, it will be my home. And he isn't a thug, also I am a lawyer who just signed on with the DA’s office, so I think I can cover this and any expenses you should fine. Now do we have ourselves a deal or what?" I said extending my hand, which she quickly shook and handed me the contract. Obviously, I had made my point and she didn't really want to deal with me anymore. She made the statement earlier that they really needed to rent the space so the process went quicker than normal.

As I shut the door behind the realtor, I held the keys to the apartment in my hand, I turned around and smiled at Opie and shook the keys, "It's mine!"

"It suits you too!" he said wrapping me in a hug.

We sat down on the floor where it raised into the bedroom and talked about life and his kids and how hard it had been with Donna since he got out of prison. Needless to say, she was giving him a very hard time and she didn't want him to go back to doing club business, but once you patch in you are in.

The sun had set and I finally looked down at my phone and realized it was 7 o'clock and we were supposed to be at Gemma and Clay's for a "family" dinner tonight at 8.

"Op, we better head to Gemma's, I don't want to be late.”

"Yeah you are right! I hate to be on that women's bad side!" Op said holding the door open for me to step through.

"Does she have a good side?" I said with a smirk.

"Hey, she is your mom, you should be nice."

"That ship sailed a long time ago Op!" I said as we walked out of my apartment and locked the door.

When we got to Gemma's I noticed that everyone was here except us, this was going to be hard to explain. After being greeted by Gemma, I saw "the family" seated around the table. By that I mean Clay, Jax, Juice, Tig, Chibs, Luann and Opie. There was a spot saved for me between Juice and Jax, which was also across from Opie, my three favorite men, my protectors.

Gemma smirked at Opie and me as we sat down, "What took you two so long to get here?"

"I took Jenna apartment hunting this afternoon, she found a place, too. She got the nice place over Roller Pharmacy and the general store." Opie said with a glance over toward me.

"Opie took you?" Juice said looking at me, which was a look of pure jealousy and disappointment.

"Yeah, Op took me, you were working and I didn't want to burden you with the boring task." I said to Juice, giving him a reassuring smile.

"Well, I am glad you found a place sweetie," Gemma interrupted.

There were small conversations happening down the table but Juice was silent and it was uncomfortable, but I didn't know what I could say to him to make it better, so I just stayed quiet.

"So Jen, when are you moving into your place?" Jax asked, nudging me with his elbow to get my attention.

"Probably going to look at furniture and stuff for the apartment tomorrow after work. Which reminds me…hey Op, can I borrow your truck to move some things from storage?" I said looking from Jax to Opie.

"Of course!" Op said with a grin.

"I need to get some stuff from storage for Abel when he gets to come home, so maybe I can tag along?" Jax asked, giving me and Op a pout, like either of us would ever tell my brother no.

"I am cool with it if Jenna is." I just nodded my head

Gemma had an announcement to make..."I think we should throw Jenna a house warming party, how about this Saturday?"

"Is that really necessary?" I asked her

“Of course, it is…it is the new start of your adult life here in Charming.” She retorted and I just nodded, no point in arguing with her.

"Great, Opie, you and Jax are in charge of finding out what she needs for the place."

With that Juice went back to looking at his food, jealousy was not a good look for him. I wish he would get over this, I mean yeah Juice was one of my best friends and we had hooked up several times, but nothing too serious in my eyes. It was for the fact Opie was my brother’s best friend so very off limits, so I had to have a little fun with someone. I always thought there was a connection between Op and me, but I am beginning to think it was all me and he didn't feel that way.

Another hour went by and I was washing dishes trying to think of an excuse to be able to leave and head back to my hotel, but I couldn't think of anything.

"Hey Jen, I need to probably head home soon, want me to take you back to your car on my way." Opie said from the other room, always saving me without knowing it.

"That would be great, let me finish the dishes and we can go." I responded as I dried the last few dishes.

"Ok, I am ready!" I said grabbing my jacket and following Opie out the door. I saw Juice come outside lighting a cigarette as I got on the back of Op's bike and wrapped my arms around him.

About 20 minutes later Opie turned into the parking lot of TM

"Thanks Op, for everything"

"No problem, anything you need you can always count on me."

"I know, and I really appreciate it. Hey I know you and Donna needed some money, so here is something to say thank you." I said handing Opie an envelope with $2,000 in it.

"Jenna I can't take this," Opie protested.

"Just think off it as your fees for letting me use your truck tomorrow," I said pushing the envelope back to him.

"I guess that works, but it is still too much.” I just stared at him until he accepted the money.  “Thanks Jen, it will help out more then you know" he said wrapping me in a hug, and when I looked up at him, he bent down and placed a kiss on my lips. That kiss was brief but it confirmed that he did in fact have feelings for me. I reconnected our lips, but we were interrupted by the sound of Opie's phone. It was Donna wondering where he was, perfect timing, as always. We said our goodbyes and I waved as I watched him ride away.

Well today was quite productive, new job; new apartment and a goodnight kiss from Opie. I was all smiles as I started my car and headed to the hotel I was staying at.

Goodnight Charming.
