18+ Sometimes I get an idea in my head and you'll hear 10 versions of the same thing, word for word, I swear (iykyk). I'm sorry. Just a little in coming fluff, angst and smuttt. We're giving him the ending he always deserved. This is a mess of my brain vomit.
Sergeant Barnes who can't help the crush he has on the sweet nurse stationed at his camp, always finding ways to talk to her, even if it means interrupting her in the middle of the way, wagging his finger around the tent because he has a dire papercut.
She'll patch him up every single time with a shake of her head, telling him to be more careful and he'll say yes mam, just to be back in the same cot the next day like clockwork.
Sergeant Barnes who walks her to her quarters every evening and bids her goodnight with a tip of his hat, always a gentleman. He never misses an opportunity to hold the door open, fetch extra supplies, grinning all while she tells him to get back to his work, worried he'll get in trouble for always helping her.
Sergeant Barnes who has a flirty little mouth on him, never missing a moment to tell her how lovely she looks. She dismisses everything he says, after all there's no way he could see her that way when she's sweating, covered in grime and blood aftering bandaging up different men.
Sergeant Barnes who wonders if she feel the same way when catches a tear roll down her cheek the first time she has to sew his injures. Her hands work quick and steadily keeping a straight face until the last dressing is placed across his abdomen. He's seen her do the same thing to plenty of others, sending them on their way right after but not him. She checked over him again and then once more, insisting he rest for an additional night before he was off again.
Sergeant Barnes who didn't realize it would get this far. He only intended to kiss her, he really did but the surprised little whine she let out was too much. How could he left her go when he hands clutched onto his uniform tighter, lips parted, letting his tongue lace with hers.
He made love to her that night.
Sergeant Barnes who took his time touching every bit of her body with softness, laying her in bed and covering her with the sheet when she shyly looked away. He didn't need much more than that, happy to feel her bare skin on his while he felt her lips flutter against his neck, he may as well have died and gone to heaven.
Sergeant Barnes who doesn't rush a thing while he pumps his cock, letting his swollen head rub though her slit while letting her know much he adores her. How perfect she already is. She whispers a please in his ear and he starts to push himself inside, his length already throbbing with need.
"I know angel, I know" He coos at the gasp she lets out, his hand coming up to caress her cheek, his thumb stroking her skin. "S'just me doll, s'just me you're feeling"
He stretches her slowly, after all his sweet angel has never felt anyone else. Her face hides in his neck, panting as he fully sheaths himself, cuddling her body, rubbing her back.
"S-so big, Sergeant" is the best she can get out and he has to force himself to not cum on the spot. He starts to move, holding her tighter because he didn't expect to struggle this much.
"I love you" He rasps out, it's all he can say without running his mouth, spewing all the things that were in his head. He really can't take it. His mind is working faster than he can comprehend. There were a thousand sweet things but that wasn't the issue. He bit his tongue from confessing she caused all his wet dreams, making him feel like a teenager all over again. That her pussy was so tight, he was leaking in her. That it felt too good, he felt like a virgin too, his cock was so sensitive like never before, fuck, she had to unlock her ankles that were wrapped around his waist-
"M'close" He pants, eyes locked with hers hoping she understands- "M'gonna cum, I-fuck, i'm cu-mph" His eyes grow wide in surprise when she tugs his dog tags and pulls him down for a kiss, her legs still wrapped around him, every bit of his cum filling her up.
"I love you too" she nuzzles her nose with his, relaxing in his hold as they drift off to sleep.
He holds her extra tight that night.
There was a war happening and tomorrow wasn't always promised.
Especially not when he had an assignment the next day.
-
Sergeant Barnes who dragged himself through hell and back, limping half sewn up with that cute little blush on his face cause he can't wait to see her again after months of nearly dying, losing men, the only thing that kept him going was getting to see-
Where was she?
"Has anyone seen Nurse y/l/n?" He frowned when the other nurses shook their heads as he searched, his worry increasing when he finds her things gone. He nearly sends off a search party until a close friend of hers quietly gives him an address. She says very little, only sending him off with a wink and a good luck.
He's utterly baffled when he sees the address is that of his own? Surely there was a mistake. That doesn't mean he'll waste anytime. The war was over anyway, injuries be damned, he's moving as fast as he can.
He sets off home, knocking on the door, his can't wait to find her again and he's missed his family soo much-
"Jamie!!" His sister throws her arms around his neck and he stumbles back, hugging her tightly, "Mama, Jamie's home!!" He doesn't let go of her as his mother runs to him from the kitchen, tears already streaming down her face.
"Sweet boy" She takes his face in her hands, looking him up and down. Her baby boy is back in one piece and that's all that matters.
Well, sort of.
"I missed you ma-ow!"
"I raised you better, you worried those poor angels to bits"
Angels?
He isn't given a chance to ask anything when she gives him a wack with a rolled newspaper, ushering him to go to his room, slipping something into his pocket before sending him off.
Sergeant Barnes who can't believe his eyes when he sees her again. Her pretty face. Same perfect eyes. Perfect nose. Perfect lips. All of it turns blurry from unshed tears because the only thing that was different now was a very round baby bump.
"Y'came back" Her voice melts into a sob seeing him standing at the doorway.
"I missed ya" He whispers against her hairline, kissing her repeatedly, his hands cradling her rounded belly, his little baby kicking against his touch. "M'so sorry angel, wish I was here-
"You're here now" she sniffled, inhaling his scent after waiting for him to come back, not knowing if he was hurt or alive, the thought breaking her heart. "We waited"
"Daddy's here" He kisses her tummy, holding her extra close again after months of waiting. Dreaming. Hoping.
He asks her to marry him. His ma wouldn't give him her wedding ring for just anyone.
A baby boy. 2 years later, a little girl. She asks for a kitten. They name her Alpine. Another little boy 3 years later.
Perfect.

𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠.
Could be seen as a continuation to All of It, but the idea came from @tenkomura, bc when am i ever not thinking about something she said
Maybe you hate your younger self for being so naive.
Perhaps its because you cling to the memories of before, when everything was so much simpler and All For One was commanding Shigaraki to act. When he messed up, or when you messed up, All For One simply caressed your heads in such a comforting way that the loss felt like nothing.
Oh, how you loved him. Everything was so much easier when it was him. Yes he was the future, yes you were the symbols of fear, but to you he was just Tomura. Its the silent understanding that you both had, that even though the entire world was against you and the cause it was okay because you were together.
He loved you, it didn't need to be said. Even when the league expanded, it was still just you and him. Not to say he doesnt care for the league, because that would be a lie. But the love he has for them pales in comparison to the love he holds for you in the crevices of his heart. Its heard in the blood pumping in his veins and its sung in the whispers of his calm breathing when he's with you.
But you're villains. Villains don't get an ounce of peace. So when the league has ended Overhaul's short lived reign, and everyone's stopped and caught their breath. You sit with him in silence on the side of a bare highway that you'd been walking.
Maybe its foolish, but you follow him like a dog. You watch as Shigaraki opens the case of quirk erasing bullets. He stares. Almost like he wants to test if it works.
You sit next to him, sat shoulder to shoulder now. He simply says "If I erased my quirk, we could be normal." And you don't need to be a genius to know what he means, he means if he didn't have decay he would have a home. If he didn't have decay he wouldn't be All for One's subject of interest, id he didn't have this damn quirk he could be normal with you.
Would there even be a you though?
"Hm, maybe." you supply "You wouldn't have met me though, and I would trade any chances of being normal if it meant i got to be with you." you say, and Shigaraki stills.
"I... I think I would too." he smiles, its a crackly smile that makes blood speck on his lips that you just want to kiss already.
"When this is all over, lets go on a date. Okay?" you ask, your eyes now gazing up at him with hope.
Shigaraki's eyes widen, and looks to the quirk erasing bullets and quickly shuts them. "You promise?" he asks almost eagerly, and you hold up your pinky "pinky swear!"
Oh you fools.
Which is what's left you to stare at Shigaraki's tube. His body floating in the liquid endlessly for whats felt like years, but you know its only been a month or two. You feel so naive for ever thinking it would just be over, because of course its never over.
He would be the new holder of all for one. Because fate stops for nothing and no one, not even love. You hate yourself for being naive enough to hope that you would ever get to love him peacefully. You hate him for not realizing when you did that All for One was using you both. You hate All for One for taking your lives away from you.
This would never be over, Shigaraki will never give pinky promise kisses again, and he'll never build redstone farms for you when you get too frustrated and rage quit. He's never going to reach out for you again, and you're going to spend the rest of your life reaching for someone who's never going to reach back.
You press your head to the glass and cry. The doctor is used to your sobs though ans has grown to ignoring them, which you suppose is a win. But it still doesn't soothe the ache in your chest as you wish for everything to be different, and you pray every night that this is a bad dream. You pray that this is a nightmare and that night Shigaraki did use that quirk erasing bullet. You pray for this to be a bad dream of his and he never developed decay.
Because you would never trade your life with Shigaraki for normalcy, but you love him too much to watch him do this. You wished he would trade you for normalcy because loving him through this and always is simply too much.

Reasons I hate Cassian.
And you should too!
These aren't in order I apologize.
CONTINUE AT OWN RISK
"I didn’t ask to be shackled to you”
“Everybody fucking hates you”
“Your sisters love you. I can’t for the life of me understand why, but they do.”
Asks her in the BC 3-4 times if she's a virgin. Why do you care? This is so ick. Giving me serious predator vibes.
Gives Mor lingerie and then throws a tantrum when Nesta didn't want his gift.
Takes her on a hike that makes her suic*dal. And doesn't look back at her for hours after seeing her look over that cliff.
Nesta passes out from dehydration and he gaslights her. Bro she didn't even want to be on this hike to begin with, but please continue to tell her that everything is her fault.
He isn't pissed at Rhysand for wanting to kill Nesta.. but pissed at Nesta for telling Feyre the truth. Which if he were actually Feyre's friend in the first place, he would have told her.
Rips his hand out of Nesta's, showing he's essentially ashamed of her.
Gropes Nesta when she doesn't even want him to touch her. In her house!!
Rhysand is yelling at Nesta to the point where Ember tells him he reminds her of her ex. Whom she literally ran away from. All while Cassian is a complacent dog who does nothing to help her. A fucking human who barely knows Nesta stood up for her more than her own mate!! Be for real!!!
How he didn't disagree when she was compared to the fae of HC and Mor's cruel family. Because this 20 something yo is mean to you. It's the fucking same as Mor's family almost beating her to death!! You can all fuck right off.
Laughs when she fell down the stairs. When fun fact, had she fallen off, she'd be dead.
Tells her to get over her trauma even though earlier he told her it took him 10 years to get over killing a bunch of Illyrians. When killing those fae was his choice. And all of Nesta's trauma was against her will. Like how can you even compare those traumas?? You made a choice she was a victim.
Rhysand threatens to kill Nesta multiple times while Cassian says and does nothing. Your HL wants to kill your mate YOUR SO CALLED BROTHER!!! AND YOU CAN'T FORM FUCKING WORDS!! You piece of trash.
Won't let her eat what she wants, when she's literally skin and bones. Let her put sugar on her fucking oatmeal without you bringing up her dead father, you Illyrian baby. LET HER EAT HER CAKE SO HELP ME GOD!!!
Sleeps with her after the Kelpie attack when she's injured and is clearly using sex as a coping mechanism.
Sees her fear of fire but does nothing.
"There nothing broken to be fixed" Then what the fucking fuck dude! Why are you complacent in all of this if you don't think she needs to be fixed in the first place?!?
Continuously disregards Nesta's boundaries.
He never says I love you back. Showing you love someone (which frankly I think he does the opposite of) is not the same. You tell someone "I love you" the normal response is "I love you too"
But I don't think he actually does. I think he's wanted a mate for so long he loves the idea of it more than he actually loves Nesta. Especially when he's shown time and time again that he'll put everyone else before her.
I pray for a rejection or better yet, Death
#im so tired of the borderline abuse sarah please#sjm you've put me through enough#anti cassian#anti nessian#anti rhysand#anti feysand#anti inner circle

I’ve never seen anyone write this but maybe a reader who is afraid of dogs? Like, really afraid (me😭) only If you wanna do it ofc <3
sweet baby angel thank u for waiting, i hope u like this and it was what u wanted! i think this concept was so fun AND SO FITTING BC DAZAI + DOGS... A MESS. and when ur involved, chaossss bc he has a little angel and devil on his shoulder. so basically i love u. mwah.
~ a little something about defending your honor... from dogs ~
"Eugh! what a petulant little thing!"
"Osamu! don't bark at it, it'll bite!"
"I thought you were afraid of dogs?! it disrespected you, the ferocious beast!"
You sigh, your nerves only settling just a bit so you can take the time to explain to him the consequences of his actions. You take a deep breath, swallowing with a loud gulp as you tremble.
"He only barked at me, Osamu... Ahh, c'mon, let's just go or he'll do worse! We also can't afford legal troubles if you get arrested for messing with a dog."
He feigns indignation, and stands a little taller.
"I'll have you know the agency would NEVER let me drown in legal fees! And unfortunately, drown in general..."
He then smirks at you, tapping the tip of your nose with a wink as he continues.
"... Besides, I'd make a pretty hot jailbird huh? I wonder, would I be dressed in white like a virginal bride or that awful shade of Orange-"
You cut him off, rolling your eyes as you tug on his arm.
"Can we like, get back to the topic of you beefing with a dog? No one is going to jail."
"Except for me if you won't let me do my job!"
You scoff, raising a brow as you glare at him in disbelief, your eyes darting between the dog and Dazai.
"You already HAVE a job, and you barely do it might I add."
He rolls his eyes, crossing his arms and giving you an exhasperated sigh like the brat he is. He knows you eat it right up! He does it for you, after all. Though with the way you look so afraid and skittish right now, he can barely hide how thrilled it makes him to be able to at least distract you from the situation with his antics. The unstoppable jester in your sweet court.
"Oh please, you're just deflecting now. You know I'm a dabbler! You can't pin me down!"
You nod in faux understanding, unable to hide the smile that's beginning to imprint itself on your face as you try to resist his nonsensical charms... And failing as always.
"Ah.. Right, right. Can we just go? I'm kind of freaking out right now."
He clicks his tongue and walks closer to you, leaning in and scanning your very aura with his trademark elusiveness, as if x-raying your soul. He has no use for the concept of personal space, and it's even worse when the scent you're currently wearing keeps roping him closer and closer.
"Just answer me something. Would you visit me in prison? Y'know, for bringing justice against the criminal offenses being carried out on you today by this little rat?"
He states firmly, not really a question at all. He glares at the dog, who begins to slowly cower away from you both as if getting the message.
You tilt your head, shrugging as you think it through despite how abrupt the circling back of the topic was. Dazai really was odd when he wanted to be, but his offputting nature was one of the most alluring things about him, it was over for you the second you both laid eyes on each other.
"... Well, I'd think it's silly that that's the reason you ended up there, but of course I would."
He smiles wide at that. Of course you would.
You eventually manage to mediate the altercation between the canine and your boyfriend after much bickering; the dog leaves you both alone and you go on with the rest of your day together in as much peace as one can have around Dazai. When it gets late, you part ways with a lengthy kiss goodnight, everything from the earlier melting away into a fuzzy bliss when he squeezes your waist and whispers your favorite things into your ear before reluctantly letting you go. You're starting to walk a few feet the opposite way when your cellphone begins to ring.
It's Dazai.
You pick it up and mumble with confusion, seeing as you just left him.
"Osamu?"
You can hear mischief in his voice when he replies, his voice dropping to a low and sultrier tone laced with something else you can't identify.
"Bark Bark."
"Huh?"
"Hi again, honey!~ Just wanted to let you know that the only dog allowed to bark at you is me. You better run along home now, or I might just follow you~"
"Ah, I'm trembling."
You roll your eyes, but the pink hue in your cheeks betray your sarcasm.
"Oh my! Don't say that, I'm not liable for whatever happens next if you keep talking to me so dirtyyy."
You turn around, smirking as you shake your head in mock disapproval at the way he won't let this topic fully die down. You just have to admire his commitment to the bit... And the way he shamelessly flirts with you every chance he gets. You find him simply staring at you with such intensity, not having moved at all from where you had said goodbye with his phone glued to his ear, his smugness practically glowing as if it were radioactive.
He waves, blowing you a kiss like the menace he is.
You catch it, laughing softly as you bring your closed fist to your mouth. This causes him to clutch his chest and stumble as if he were about to fall backwards, giggling before sticking his hands into his coat pockets to finally be on his way.
When you start walking again, he stops one more time, turning back to watch you with his forever attentive eyes. They darken at the memory of you being so afraid earlier, a small smile tugging at his lips when he thinks about how much more carefree and content you looked just a second ago... Because of him. He meant it when he said he'd defend your honor and he thinks it's adorable how you don't think about the awful things he's done to others in the past for much less.
It's a Bark Bark world and he's happy to be on your leash. What can he say? You keep him a virtuous man.
#dazai wanting to go apeshit on a dog is like. canon in my head#he's like half serious but if ur genuineky upset he gets even more into it#he's a lil creeper internalizing every micro expression u make#he just needs u happy and stress free#he drools at the sight of you he's so weird and obsessed and ready to obliterate anything for you but ur like be normal pls#bungou stray dogs#osamu dazai#dazai x reader#bsd dazai#dazai x you#osamu dazai x reader#bsd x reader#dazai imagines#dazai fluff#osamu dazai fluff#dazai osamu#bungo stray dogs#fanfic#gn reader#bsd#bsd x y/n#bsd x you#bsd x gender neutral reader#osamu dazai x you#osamu dazai x y/n

Can I request Dazai, Ranpo and Chuuya with a s/o that’s never been in a fully healthy and loving relationship so they sometimes get confused or shocked by the bare minimum? Like if they say they care about their consent for anything they’re like “Wait you what?- you do? Fr?” Or if they say smth they can do they go “Wait I’m allowed to do that?”
Totally not self projecting
sure dear omg this is lowkey so sweet. hope you like it♡♡
// also tysm for 400 followers hihi♡♡ love you all
°☆●
Kintsugi
𝑫𝒂𝒛𝒂𝒊, 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒑𝒐, 𝑪𝒉𝒖𝒖𝒚𝒂 𝒙 𝒇𝒆𝒎!𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓
𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒓𝒆: fluff♡/ light angst maybe?
𝑫𝒂𝒛𝒂𝒊
he probably figures it out during the first weeks of the relationship
asks lots of rethorical questions and lowkey pushes you into telling him all about it (he just needs to know) but he doesn't actually force you to tell
"Bella, you know I'd never do or say such things to you. Your exes just weren't real men, aight? Didn't know how to handle a beauty like you" (he thinks he's a smooth talker fr)
super kind to you overall; he'll pay attention not to be toxic to you
"Wanna play a game, bella?" Dazai cooed, curling on the couch next to you.
You carefully set down the cup of honeyed tea you were drinking and scooted closer to him, a wide smile stretching your lips.
"Sure. What do you have in mind."
"How about a game to get to know each other better? We ask questions and the other one answers. I'll even let you go first my sweet." he said with a wink.
"Um... ok?" you said reluctantly "Cats or dogs?"
"Cats. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?" he asked playfully.
"Hm... probably figs. Figs would be nice"
This little game of yours went on for around twenty minutes until your boyfriend finally decided to ask you a more serious question.
"What's the worst relationship you've ever had?"
Although he asked that question in a lighthearted tone, there was a hint of urgency to it. Seeing the blank expression on your face, Dazai added:
"It's been weighing on my mind for a while now."
"Well... I gotta say all my exes were kinda shitty. I've never actually been in a healthy relationship and the worst part is that I didn't even know they were unhealthy at that time." A light chuckle rolled off your lips as you reached for your cup and took a small sip. "You see, I didn't wanna tell you about this. I assumes it would be a burden"
Dazai's eyes softened upon hearing your statement. "Bella" he began, taking your hand in his "Nothing that you do or say will ever be a burden to me."
"Alright then" you replied with a sheepish smile "Then I guess I could tell you"
And then you did. You told him everything you've been through: your first ex who never let you go out of the house without him because he thought you'd cheat on him, your second who always made you cook dinner for him because "that's what a real woman would do" and the last one, who constantly brought his friends over although he knew how shitty they were with you. As he listened to you tell your story, his thumb gently brushed over the soft skin on back of your hand. It did hurt to hear what you've been through, but what pained him most was the fact that you didn't think he'd understand and accept your trauma.
When you were finally done talking, a deep silence fell between the two of you.
"You know I'd never treat you like that?" he eventually said.
You gave a small nod "I know. I just... I guess I'm not used to healthy relationships."
Dazai's arm snaked over your shoulders as he pulled you in a gentle hug; your head coming to rest on his chest. He simply placed a chaste kiss on the crown of your head.
"In that case I'm honoured to be the one to teach you what love should be like"
𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒑𝒐
he probably knows from the start
it was the little things: the ways you'd always ask him if you're allowed to do certain things, the fact that you were always so aware of all his moods and actions
so yea, he figured it out
doesn't force you to talk about your exes tho, he'll wait for you to open up or ask you casually
so supportive fr; reassures you that he'll never do something like that
"Y/N you deserve the best really. And lucky for you I'm the best"
protect him at all costs fr♡
Your boyfriend's ultra deduction was something that never ceased to amaze you; but still you didn't expect him to catch on so fast on the fact that you have never been treated right in a relationship before.
When he finally called you out on it all you could do was look him dead in the eyes; your fingers fumbling with a loose string on the cuffs of your hoodie.
"So?" he asked again, pouting.
"Yea, you're right. I've never had a healthy relationship"
"I knew it!" he exclaimed but immediately regained his composure when he realised this wasn't something he should be happy about.
"Look, sugar. I won't force you to tell me anything about it but just know that I'm not like them."
"I know Ranpo my sweet but-"
"Nuh uh" he interrupted, pressing his index fingers against your lips to shush you "Let me finish. First off, you're allowed to go out with your friends whenever you want to. Just text me from time to time so I know you're safe. Second off, please tell me if I'm ever crossing your boundaries. And third stop apologising for every single thing you do, ok? It's not a good habit"
"I know I'm sorry but-"
Ranpo raised a brow and smiled lightly "What did I just say love?"
You took a deep breath in and returned the smile "No apologies, noted." After a minute of silence you eventually spoke again, this time with more confidence "Thank you dear. For being so patient and understanding with me. Maybe one day I'll tell you about my exes, I want you to know. But I don't wanna let the past affect us."
"And it doesn't, my sweet. Did you forget?" he giggled, flashing you his signature smirk. "I'm the best boyfriend ever. Nothing could ever determine me to see you as less than perfect."
You suddenly leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips; the saccharine gesture taking him by surprise.
"I'm so happy I'm with you Ranpo. You make me happy." you beamed and the detective felt his heart melting. His entire body felt like pudding, a soft, mushy mess. This was the effect you always had on him.
Your boyfriend hugged your waist and burried his head in your chest as your fingers combed through his dark locks.
"I'll do my best to be worthy of you" you said after a while.
And Ranpo only nodded, smiling against your chest. His slender fingers found yours and loosely intertwined with them "You already are, sugar."
𝑪𝒉ū𝒚𝒂
"What? What do you mean if I let you go out with your friends tonight?"
he's so confused fr; doesn't understand why you ask such questions
such a sweet boy fr
at first he doesn't realise why you're so moved by every small thing he does, but after you tell him about your past relationships... oof
you know he's gonna threaten to kill those guys🫡
he's even more gentle with you now and reassures you that you're worthy of a good man (he's talking about himself hehe) and that he'll treat you well♡
literally the definition of "You can wear whatever you want. I can fight."
JUST BECAUSE FLOWERS🌹
It was around 8:30 p.m when you heard the door open, announcing the arrival of your partner; you quickly discarded the fluffy blanket you were wrapped in and tip-toed to the hallway.
"Chuu. Let me tell you what happened today you won't believe it!" you said excitedly as you turned the corner and... you stopped dead in your tracks.
There he was; Chuuya Nakahara, your beloved boyfriend, holding a bouquet in his arms. Honeysuckles, milesii irises and golden daylilies perfectly wrapped in a coffee coloured craft paper with drawings of the Eiffel tower and French bistors. 'La vie est belle', it read.
"Hey honey. Sorry I'm so late tonight but I stopped to get this for you." he said casually as he handed you the flowers.
You took the bouquet from his hands and held it to your chest, breathing in the sweet, fresh scent of the blossoms. Chuuya must've noticed the disdained look on your face for he came closer to you, gently placing an arm on your shoulder.
"My love are you ok? Do you not like the flowers or..."
Suddenly you burst into tears, a wide smile rising to your lips. "No Chuu I love them. I love them so much thank you I just-" you stammered, choking on your tears. "I just never got flowers before."
Chuya's heart sank upon hearing your words, a wave of sadness washing over him. "My sweet love." he began, his calloused hands gingerly cupping your tear stained cheeks. "You deserve all the flowers in the world."
His words only made you cry harder. Both of you were smiling, gazing into each others' eyes; from time to time Chuuya wiped away a pearly tear that streamed down your face with his thumb. Between you the flowers were getting squished but neither of you could care less.
"You're a silly girl, you know? Crying over something like this." he said playfully, trying to lighten up the mood.
"Oh shut it" you replied in the same tone as you kissed him on the cheek.
Your boyfriend took the flowers from your arms and carefully placed them on the counter before pulling you in a tight hug; he breathed in your scent and God, you were even sweeter than the blossoms.
"You know I'll give you everything you want and more darling." he said in a hushed voice, causing you to sob quietly.
He let you cry for a while, whispering sweet nothings and caressing your hair until you finally calmed down.
"I'm sorry Chuu. That was embarassing" you chuckled lightly but your boyfriend didn't miss the hint of guilt in your voice.
"Not at all, silly." he said, pullng away. "I know we've talked about this before, the way your past relationships impact our own and I wanna remind you that it's ok if you react like this. To be honest you're cute when you get so worked up over my little gifts"
"Hey don't tease me" you cried out, wiping away the last tear from your reddened cheeks. "Or I'll cry again"
"Now we can't have that, can we?" he replied as he slid an arm around your waist. "Let's put those flowers in a vase and get you a glass of water. I think you need it love."
A smile rose to your lips as you looked at him, chest swelling with love and pride "Yea. I think I do, love."

once again thinking about Hey Melissa because this story lives in my brain like a little worm that wants to slowly kill me. anyway I've thought of exactly what changes I think would've made the story work better in my opinion so uhh here's my Hey Melissa script doctor I guess djskfjdsk
cut Paul's dog story. I get what the intention was, it's meant to be a full-circle thing at the end, but I just don't think it works the way it was meant to. it muddies the story too much and makes Melissa's motivation more complicated than it needs to be. if in every timeline she's trying to kidnap Paul to keep him as a dog (and she hates and kills dogs), why is this framed as her breaking point? why does she like him at all? and why does him just meowing convince her? cut all that, simplify it. Paul's a cat from the start. give her little club a bit of a clearer and simpler base logic: men they hate are kept as dogs, men they like are kept as cats. Melissa's been wanting a cat for so long, and she's had her eyes on Paul, and she's finally got him where she wants him.
Paul still denies that he's as good of a person as Melissa thinks he is, but instead of telling the dog story, have him just. lose his temper and be kind of a dick to her. he wanted to let her down easy, but she just keeps pushing. goddammit Melissa, he'd like you more if you'd drop this. he's made it clear he's not interested. she's not his type, he doesn't like the things she does. they're not compatible. and he's dating Emma right now anyway. can she please just let this go and stop pestering him so they can at least stay friends? Melissa's clearly upset, barely holding back tears, but says she understands. Paul now feels guilty, asks if there's anything he can do. Melissa asks him to feed her dog. the dog is Ted, and Melissa knocks Paul out. Paul wakes in the cage, afraid he's going to be defingered like Ted, but Melissa assures him no, she would never declaw a cat. Ted's a dog, see, he's a nasty, filthy dog pretending to be a man, he needed to be taken off the streets to keep everyone else safe. but Paul? Paul's a sweet kitty who's just confused and thinks he's a man, thinks he knows what he wants, thinks he's happy. thinks he doesn't like her back. he broke her heart, but that's okay, he's just a feral cat who doesn't understand that he's safe with her. he bit and scratched her because he doesn't know what love really is. he just needs to be trained and socialized. in time he'll understand that all Melissa wants is to love him, and he'll come to love her, too.
add like. one scene or moment to ground the tone and force the viewer to sit in how horrific this would actually be. one mention of Ted's wounds being infected, or the guys being cold and malnourished. just like, a single line, or a brief exchange between Ted and Paul would be enough. keep it light and absurd the whole rest of the time, but one moment that takes the situation more seriously would add a lot, I think.
have Emma bitch Melissa out after their exchange. do not have her just walk away crying, let her get MAD. let her rip into this freak who's boasting about having stolen her guy. who does Melissa think she is?? someone who deserves a cup of milk to the face, Emma thinks. it's full of spit, by the way. fuck you. and fuck Paul. you assholes deserve each other. and Emma starts crying then, at the end if her rant, and realizes she's. a lot more hurt than mad, actually. more hurt than she'd expect to be about Paul. fuck, she'd thought there was something special about him. but he's just another asshole. and then she storms out crying.
foreshadow Paul's decision to stay with Melissa. one moment of him starting to kind of like being here. she's scratching his chin, or petting his hair or something, and he's enjoying it a little. has to snap himself out of it, like he forgot for a moment that this is a waking nightmare. would give the ending more of an ambiguous terror, that maybe it's not just the bump on his head, and there was something in him that was being won over, because we saw it.
at the end Paul apologizes to Melissa for breaking her heart, thanks her for being patient with him. he always wanted to be a good man, but he never believed he was. but Melissa believed he was a good cat, and now he is. she made him what he could never be on his own. and to make up for hurting her, he'll be hers until he dies.
#yes this is pointless yes the story's not even official canon but listen#i am having FUN#i am PLAYING#this is how i enjoy myself god bless#hatchetfield#starkid#hey melissa#paul matthews#melissa hatchetfield#ted spankoffski#emma perkins#abuse#dehumanization#ask to tag#cj says stuff

AO3 | MASTERLIST | MINORS DNI
It's a pleasant surprise to see Kim Taehyung with his clothes on.
His cheeks are still a little warm when he strolls into the art cafe, well aware that it was his other cheeks you'd been confronted with when you'd seen him last.
Hands in pockets, he plays it off. Is cool and casual, in that suave way artists so often are.
"If you're looking for Danbi, we only live together. Don't work together. Think you'll find her at Memorial Park with half a dozen dogs, maybe" you tease.
He rolls his eyes, and continues forward to the main desk. When he reaches it, he leans an elbow down and looks quite at home. Dressed in a pair of dark slacks and cream button-up, he's a business-casual Capricorn's wet dream. It's entirely understandable why Danbi couldn't resist. You're surprised it's taken her this long, if anything.
"If it was Danbi I was after, it'd be Danbi I was with," he assures you, smile ever-present. He's charming; not like a sleazebag, but like a Disney prince. Always says the right thing. "And anyways, I know she's there. Just been there, myself."
You smile, pleased for your best friend.
It makes sense. She's been with him every night since New Year's. Your apartment has actually been a little lonely.
A week on since you were greeted with his bare arse, you're curious as to why Taehyung would be gracing you with his presence. It wouldn't be entirely out of character, but you are also aware that the last time he was here, it was to pitch his art show.
You remind him of this - not that he needs it, as he passes a business card over to you, embossed with a since hangul syllable: 류.
"Ryu?" You ask. "As in the gallery?"
He nods. "Ryu Gallery."
It's mid-size, a little out of town, but well-respected. Was one of the many galleries that simply didn't get back to Tae - but you have an acquaintance who works there. A friend of Seokjin's, actually. Involved in the finance side of the company. Had invited him along because you figured that there was no harm in asking. Didn't really expect him to show up.
Pulling his phone from his front pocket, Taehyung says nothing as he loads up his call history. At the top, there's a red number - one missed call - and a small play button next to what you assume is a voicemail. He presses down on it, and lets it play out.
"Hello, this is Park Shinwon from Ryu Gallery. I was passed your information by one of our colleagues, and was wondering if you had availability for a call regarding your work? We have an opening at the end of the month and are looking for a local artist to fill the space. If you think this could be a good fit for you, please call me back at the earlie-"
Taehyung cuts the voicemail short. You've heard all the important stuff.
There's a smile on your face; one that brewed gently as the memo played out. He'd done it. The write-ups and reviews had been fantastic, and Namjoon had helped get Taehyung a decent spot in the arts & culture section of the local paper, but this is the first solid indication that the show had been prosperous.
"Holy shit," you beam, clapping your hands together in tiny little pats of joy.
"Right?!" He beams right back. Phone locked and back in his pocket, Taehyung's never looked prouder of himself. You don't know him like you know Jimin or Jeongguk, but you know him well enough to understand how huge this is for him. "I can't even begin to thank yo-"
"No!" You laugh, reaching across the counter to squeeze his arm. "Don't you dare. It was your hard work, Tae. You did this! Congratulations!"
A little bashful in the way he looks down, it's clear that he's not used to such high praise. It's something he'll have to get used to, you think. This is just the start for him. He's destined for greats, you're sure of it - but then again, you have unwavering faith in everyone you care about. You'll manifest for them; will their dreams into reality. You're not sure if it works, but it's nice to think it does.
"Did you call back? What did you say?" You enthuse, before a couple comes to the counter with their finished artwork. Gritting your teeth, you cast Taehyung an apologetic smile. "Ah, just give me a moment."
He nods, and tells you to carry on. He knows he's interrupted you at work and feels bad for it. He could have just waited until he came around that evening (Danbi had already asked if he would), but was too nervous about the call.
When you return from packing up the canvases and ringing through the bill, he admits to it.
"Haven't actually called them yet," he grits his teeth together, eyes apologetic. "Didn't know what to say. It's kinda why I'm here."
"Oh?"
"You can say no," he prefaces, "but like... I don't know the first fucking thing about the suit side of the art world. Don't know how to negotiate, don't even know if that is something I need to be doing. I'm a fish out of water. and you're the only person I know - and trust - who seems to have any clue what they're doing."
It's really sweet that he thinks you have any idea at all. You just wing it a solid seventy percent of the time. You have connections, and you have a functioning brain. That's about it.
Still, you'll let him think that you have your wits about you.
"So..." you encourage, trying to coax a proper question out of him. You know what he's asking, but really think that all of Jeongguk's ragtag bunch of friends could do with learning how to ask for what they want. Maybe not Yoongi. He seems to have shit figured out.
"So..." Taehyung imitates, a friendly grin on his face. He's pretty. Really isn't hard to see why Danbi likes him. She's always gone for the artsy types. Likes to be a muse. "I was wondering if you could help me out a bit? Sort of like an agent, but not quite, 'cause I'm poor as fuck and definitely can't afford it."
"Agents work on commission," you tell him. "Or at least some of them do, so it doesn't matter that you're poor now."
"Well, I might never be rich," he warns you.
Taehyung believes in his work. Loves his work. Is yet to have success that reflects this. Other people don't seem to feel as strongly about it, which leaves him with lingering doubt as to whether or not he actually has something , or if it's all a bit of a vanity project. He hopes it's not. Knows that Rome wasn't built in a day, mind you.
It takes dedication. A hard grind. He's got grit and determination, but the doors he's knocked at have been double-bolted. Thinks that maybe you could give him a key.
"I doubt that very much," you say regarding his doubts.
Of all the work showcased at the last show, it was his pieces that people kept coming back to. His pieces tagged in the art cafe's Instagram by customers. His pieces that sold; that got people interested. You had even had a girl in the cafe on a date a few weeks ago, who painted a replica of one of Tae's prints, which had been hanging on the wall beside her.
He's got talent.
But he knows that's not enough.
"Still, I didn't even realise agents were paid that way. I've no idea what on earth I'm doing, Disco Ball. Not really."
You take a moment to consider the proposition, but you aren't sure why. It's a no-brainer. Of course you'll help him out. You've contacts, thanks to your job, and acquaintances with money to spend thanks to Seokjin. You'll be an invaluable resource for him - and he'd much rather have a friend leading him through this unchartered territory than someone who only cares about numbers and finances.
"I'll make you a deal," you offer. "I'll help you, free of charge, but on one condition."
"Go on..."
You beam; smile so sweet that Taehyung knows your compromise is probably unconventional.
"I get a Kim Taehyung original."
"It won't be worth anything," he laughs. "It's a rotten deal."
"Not yet, maybe, but it will be," you tell him.
Much like Jeongguk's dreams, you believe in Taehyung's, too. Have no doubt he will achieve success. He's a Capricorn. Is just what they do.
"Alright," he agrees. Holds out his hand for you to shake. "I'll give you a free commission. You can redeem it at any time. Anything, any size, doesn't matter. It's yours."
He makes a mental note to revise this deal as you shake his hand. Doesn't think it's entirely fair on you. Thinks that he's benefitting far more from this than you will - but good, original artworks within your budget are hard to come by. You know your future self will thank you for this.
You tell Taehyung to arrange a meeting with the consultant at Ryu Gallery.
"I'll go with you as a representative; will ask the right questions, stuff like that. The key here is to not sell yourself short or undervalue your work. If you sell a million-dollar piece for a hundred bucks, it'll set a precedent. People will take advantage. It'll be detrimental."
He nods, eager to learn. Willing to listen. Wants to succeed, and will do all he can to make sure it happens.
Departing only after you force him to call Ryu Gallery back and set a date in the calendar for next week, Taehyung is beyond appreciative. Both Danbi and Jeongguk had told him to reach out to you again, but he'd felt a little guilty, almost as if he was taking advantage of how charitable you are.
You don't really see it that way. Figure that if the roles were reversed, he'd do the same for you.
"Oh, just quickly!" Taehyung pipes up just as he reaches the door of the cafe. "The piece up in Jeongguk's living room - the black and gold one." Your face heats up. "Who's the artist?"
"Not sure," you shrug with an inconspicuous purse of your lips. "Why?"
"Jeongguk just said he got it from here," Taehyung explains, your cheeks only getting rosier and rosier. "I really like it so just wondered if it was part of a bigger collection."
"I can check," you say, knowing that there is absolutely no way you're ever gonna produce another one of those. Now that Tae's asking questions about it, you know Jeongguk needs to squirrel it away. The last thing you want is the truth coming out.
"Amazing," he beams.
You smile right back, but let it fade into a groan as he heads down the stairs, the realisation that he's seen the imprint of your tits leaving you mortified.
It's only fair though, you suppose. You have seen his arse, after all. Maybe you are more well acquainted than you realise.
The lives that you and Jeongguk had lived separately for many moons have somehow converged, meeting a diving point of intervention; as if you were meant to live your lives exactly as you have, just for moments like these.
This is only amplified when you arrive at Jeongguk's place after your shift finishes.
On New Year's day, after the creation of his sticky note shrine, origami birds watching proudly, you'd reached an agreement with Jeongguk: each and every one of the sticky notes have to be done by the end of the year.
"What about the birds?" Jeongguk had asked, not wanting to sacrifice them.
You both know the birds hold far more weight. The sticky notes are fun; a chance to experiment freely with somebody who is on the same page as you. The birds are all about preparing yourself to turn the page, so you can meet someone willing to start a new book with you.
Curled up in his bed, while Jeongguk had been sitting on his bedroom floor putting together a display box for a new 'sculpture' (because he refuses, still, to let you call them action figures) that he'd been gifted for Christmas, you had contemplated his question.
"The birds fall naturally," you'd hummed. "They drop when the universe needs them to. The sticky notes are deliberate. We're making the active choice to do them."
Cross-legged, Jeongguk reached over to get a small screwdriver from his bedside table. Your gaze had been up on the birds, but drifted down to him.
"So we'll make the active choice to do the sticky notes, and then just do the birds when they fall?" Jeongguk had clarified, not looking at you as he threaded a small screw into its hole.
"Yeah," you'd smiled. "Like, I come round once a week, and we get a sticky note done. Something like that."
Looking up at you now, Jeongguk had tilted his head in contemplation, pursing his lips before finally nodding. "Shall we say Sundays?"
With a slight sense of trepidation, but the awareness of this being good for you both, you had nodded. "Sundays. Trial it for the month of January. See how it goes."
And so now you're at Jeongguk's place for the first time since New Year's with a clear agenda - and yet all you really want to do is hang out with him. Innocently. Platonically.
"Oh thank God," Jimin breathes out with an overdramatic sigh of relief when he opens the door for you. Shoes on, jacket slung over his shoulders, he's been waiting on your arrival. "Jeongguk- '' he calls back into the darkness. None of the living area lamps are on, the city lights illuminating their apartment instead. "The babysitter is here! I'll be gone till morning. Don't be any trouble."
You roll your eyes, flicking his arm as you step past him into the apartment.
He's heading out for a family event down in Busan. Jeongguk had been intending on going to the city with him, but simply has too much school work to do.
Finals are coming up. He's stressed to the absolute high heavens.
"I will warn you," Jimin says quietly while you take off your shoes. "He's in a foul mood. Has been for, like, three days now. Think it's his time of the month."
"Still baffles me how you're able to pull," you mutter, knowing that any explanations on the intricacies of the menstrual cycle would be wasted on him - only for Jimin to remind you that he pulled you . "Was a moment of weakness," you assure him.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say DB," he grins. "Look after him alright? Make sure he eats his veggies and brushes his teeth before bed."
Jimin departs faster than the winter wind that's howling against their windows. You don't even have a chance to question why he's treating Jeongguk like such a child - but as you walk into his bedroom, you sort of see why.
His bed's unmade, and he hasn't showered since, like, Thursday, maybe. Papers are scattered all over his desk, and there's a collection of takeout boxes by his door. The birds that were on his desk are now perched up on the shelf, laying in the middle of his chessboard. Beside them, a pot of your misplaced glitter sparkles in the dim light.
Quite unlike himself, Jeongguk's jaw looks sharper but his cheeks are bloated. You can tell he hasn't been eating nor drinking enough. Has a can of Monster on his desk, but you both know it's not enough to sustain him.
He really does look like a university student now, more than he ever has done before. Glasses on, hair tied in a tiny bun by the nape of his neck, teeth nibbling down on his bottom lip, the stress is evident in his sloped posture.
"Don't look at the mess," he mumbles, embarrassed that you have to see his room in this state, but also too preoccupied to really care.
You meander to his bed and sit down, one leg crossed beneath the other. Smile. "Too late."
"Sorry," he offers, but you shake your head - not that he's looking at you.
"S'fine," you hum. "If tonight is bad for you, we can always resched-"
"No," he says rather sharply, finally turning to look at you. His eyes are all wide and wanting, hating the idea of you leaving so soon, but they're also tired . He needs rest. "No, sorry." He puts down his pen, and turns in his chair a little. "I'm probably gonna be shitty company, but I'd like you to stay."
And so you nod. Of course you'll stay.
"Your hair looks sweet like this," you muse a little mindlessly as you come to stand by him, letting your index finger twirl in the curl that sticks out from the small bun.
His hair is always silky smooth, and you're envious of how well-nourished it is. A little curly, he definitely visits the salon every once in a while. You find it all very endearing, imagining him with a little salon cape around his shoulders, protectors over his ears, curlers in his hair.
"Needs a wash," he simply states, not wanting to dwell on the compliment that makes his tummy feel all funny. He's not really used to such delicate compliments.
Jiyeong would always comment on his physical strength, manliness, shit like that. Hardly surprising, given that she works at the gym. It's not just her though - Hayun's favourite part of him was always his upper arms.
He's no idea what you like about him. What attracts you to him - 'cause as much as you both like to pretend you're a bit repulsed by one another, there's obviously gotta be some sort of mutual attraction. The sex is too good.
Unless, he considers, it's all just chemical. Hormonal shit he doesn't understand, but knows plays an important role in chemistry. Maybe you aren't physically attracted to him at all.
"Wish my hair looked that good when it needs a wash," you sigh.
"I've never seen it look bad," he says, not thinking much of it.
"Well, I'd hope not," you smile. "I do know how to shower."
"I've got some things just to finish up - shit ," he curses as he realises just how much of a mess his room is. "I'm sorry. Been at work today, haven't you? Can grab a shower if you like, or something while I do this."
'This' is test revision. Coursework never really stresses him out, even if he does leave it until the last minute. He has more control over the variables. Exams make him nervous, and if there's one feeling Jeongguk hates, it's nervousness. Figures if he studies and studies and studies, then he'll feel prepared, and the nerves will ease. It never works. Only ever makes it worse.
"You sure?" you ask, though if you're being honest, a shower right now would be ideal. You got paint all over you at work, and while most of it washed off in the sink, you still feel a little less than fresh. "Or is this some backhanded way of telling me my hair looks shit?"
"Oh, 100%. You look awful. But also, yes. I'm sure," he smiles, soft eyes patient as he tries to push the pressure of his studies to the back of his mind. He hasn't seen you all week. Has missed you. Is glad you're here. Kinda hates that he's telling you to leave him, already, even if it's only for twenty minutes or so.
"Gonna join?" You ask, not really thinking much of it. Just a habit, now.
Jeongguk shakes his head. "Will get one later."
There are two distinct halves to Jeongguk's fear of rejection. The obvious, most notable half is the part of him that hates the feeling of being rejected, which prevents him from asking for what he wants.
Far less discussed is the part of him that feels like he always has to say yes, because he doesn't ever want to make other people feel bad.
Just like he never fears rejection from you, he doesn't fear your reaction to his rejection, either. There's a stable foundation to your friendship. It's good for him.
So used to transactional relationships with the girls he's slept with - on their part, not his - he doesn't really realise that this - what you two have - is normal. It's how it should be.
And so when you smile, and say 'okay', Jeongguk almost expects you to start fighting with him.
It's been a few days since he spoke with Jiyeong ( where it was firmly established that she ended it with him, and that he was the problem, not her) but lingering patterns of behaviour still plague his mind. Feelings of failure still reside in the part of his brain that deals with desire.
You believe him when he says he won't join. Don't try and tempt. Tonight isn't about that - though you do glance over to the myriad of sticky notes on his bedroom wall before you grab his towel. Pay no notice to the fact there's a new one. Just as fluffy - exactly the same, you think - it's still wrapped in a sleek bow with the tag on it.
Maybe he's gotten annoyed with how often you use it. Maybe you're just such a permanent fixture that two seems like a good idea. You don't ask about it.
Instead, you also grab one of his shirts - the one with his hand prints on it. Paint markers have been taken to the shirts since, now outlining where his bones would be. The skeleton hands make you laugh - but they also get you thinking about that shower with him.
Shaking the thoughts from your head, you leave Jeongguk to get on with his studies.
As you start the shower up and relieve your hair from the claw clip it's up in, you aren't too concerned with him joining. You genuinely do want to shower. Leave the door open just in case, but don't wait for him like you did the last time you were in the same position.
It turns out showers are far quicker when you're solo. You leave it without the feel of his hands on your body, but the scent of his strawberry shower gel still stains your skin. Feels like you're perpetually covered in him, in a roundabout way.
Scrunching your hair with his towel as you head back into his room, your clothes are still in a pile on his bathroom floor. You're just in the shirt now, bra foregone, underwear on to maintain some kind of decency.
You don't really greet him, instead heading to the window to take in the view. You're always envious of the skyline. It makes you consider moving closer to the inner city - but you're quite comfortable in your low-rise with Danbi. Plus, you can always just come and hang out here if you find yourself missing it.
Jeongguk says nothing as he comes to stand in behind you; personal space void of any meaning between the pair of you. Chin resting on your head, he drapes his arms over your shoulders.
You whisper a small greeting, and he whispers one back, but neither of you make conversation. Instead, you just watch the traffic roll on by.
His eyes are down by the traffic lights, watching as a small crowd forms, a red light preventing them from crossing even though the road is clear. Yours are a little higher up, on the motel that is hidden between two skyscrapers. The curtains are mostly all drawn; save for one, where a couple stands in a position hauntingly similar to yours and Jeongguk's. They're smiling. Joking about something. Enjoying one another company - until the person standing in Jeongguk's position draws the curtain shut to keep the world at bay.
Maybe they're friends, too, you hypothesize - but friends don't book in love motels together, and if they do? Well, they certainly don't look like that together.
It's not like it's a new concept to you. You understand the conventions of couples; just think that maybe the line between romantic and platonic is far finer than you previously believed. Reckon that you and Jeongguk have a clear sense of it.
Turning in your spot, you wanna get a read on his face; see if you can gauge what he's thinking, what he's feeling. He doesn't move back as you turn. Stays in position. Doesn't mind the closeness.
Just an inch or so away from you, the proximity forces you to tilt your chin upwards in order to catch his gaze. His own chin is tipped to his chest, looking down at you in the gentlest of ways.
Storm clouds of mascara rest faintly beneath your lash line, and the occasional rivulet of water trails from your hair and down your skin like spring rain. Your typically tempestuous attitude is nowhere to be seen; docile in the calm of Jeongguk's mellow summer air.
Silent as the pads of his fingers stroke down the side of your neck, you're well aware of the fact you're not really breathing. Are too consumed by trepidation. Fearful and yet hopeful of what's to come. His firmly pouted lips part slowly - but he doesn't lean down.
Instead, his fingertips hook beneath the chain around your neck, and slowly begin to twist it back into position. The clasp had fallen to the front, excess chain tangling around the charm.
Jeongguk holds the dainty silver bird where it should be, between your collarbones, his touch feathery as he preens you.
Cautious and yet entirely confident, he doesn't mean to steal your breath - but it's only fair. You took his first.
His lip purse. Fold in on themselves. Lip ring does the thing. Adam's apple bobs as he swallows back a feeling he doesn't quite know what to make of.
And then he simply nods. Steps a little further back. Smiles. "There. Much better."
A discreet smile ghosts your lips as he turns away from you to get back to his work. Revision always gets him in this weird of constant contempt; stressed at the world around him even when he needn't be. Gets him antsy. Agitated.
His stress manifests in hunched shoulders and restless legs which jitter beneath his desk.
He tries to ignore the twinge of guilt in his chest as you leave the room without a word. Knows that he must be terrible company. Wonders why he can't just express himself normally.
Contrarily, you worry that Jeongguk just wants to be alone, and that your presence is overbearing. He could have cancelled plans if he wanted to. You wouldn't have minded. Sure, you've missed hanging out with him, but it's not the end of the world. Is probably good to have a little bit of a breather from one another every now and again.
Fixated on the fact you feel like a bother, you set about making yourself useful. He looks like he hasn't had a decent meal in a good while, and the boys keep their fridge remarkably well-stocked for a couple of bachelors with a penchant for nightlife.
Jeongguk listens out for you, still doing his work. Can hear you rummaging about in the fridge, and wonders what on earth you could be doing. Figured that the pair of you would just order in, or something like that.
Truthfully, you'd thought the same - but they've got a stockpile of tomatoes, and chicken that needs using. Without Danbi at home much this week, you've overindulged in take-out and snack foods a few too many times. You need a good meal just as much as he does.
Glancing over to the hob, you check the pasta in the glass jar next to Jeongguk's chopping board. They're out of spaghetti, save for maybe ten strands, but thankfully have a full jar of rigatoni.
You know you can thank Jimin for the decanted pasta. The more you learn about him, the more you understand why his bedroom is so bare despite his job. He calls it 'intuitive interior design' - making life easy for himself through deliberate choices. It's why his bedroom is so streamlined. Less clutter means he can reset his brain more easily.
The living space is where the colour of the apartment is - Tae's paintings, photobooth strips, feather boas stolen from Dionysus - but the kitchen is laid out in a way that makes things easy for both of the boys.
You set about getting the things you might need, not really caring to ask Jeongguk's permission. Whatever you use, you'll happily buy again in the morning, but also highly doubt he'll ask you to. At least this way, he won't have to waste perfectly good ingredients on account of them rotting away in the bottom of the fridge.
You're chopping the tomatoes by the time Jeongguk comes to stand in his doorway.
Leaning against the frame, a hand in his pocket, a soft smile on his lips, he's a little confused. Just watches as domestication becomes you; stars forming on your cheeks when the low glare of the overhead lights hits you just right. Hair still a little damp, it's up with a claw clip, small strands framing your face. You've the speaker on quietly, not wanting to disturb him. Some song he doesn't know by an artist he doesn't recognise plays. All he knows is that he likes it. Likes how comfortable this feels.
Jeongguk has missed you. Has been working to the point of exhaustion, but unable to sleep whenever he goes to bed. Looking at you now, he tries to stifle a yawn. Is glad you haven't noticed his presence, 'cause he knows the face he just pulled wasn't pretty.
But he thinks you are.
The fact he feels like he could sleep now? A curse, he decides. Doesn't wanna sleep. Wants to spend all evening catching up with you.
You're using the side of the knife to gather the chopped tomatoes together, and scooping them into a bowl, when you finally notice him.
"Hey," you say, a smile present as always. Such a simple word, but such a comforting one, too.
"Hey," he smiles back. "Watcha doin', B?"
"Baking a cake," you joke as you begin to peel some garlic from a bulb.
"Mhmm? Tomato cake," he says, pushing off the doorframe with his shoulder and making his way to the kitchen island. He stands opposite you, resting his elbows on the counter, chin in his hands. "My favourite."
The way your eyes sparkle under the warm lights that hang down from the ceiling has Jeongguk thinking of the stars again. His are all starry too, but you think that's just normal for him.
"Good," you say. "I'm making you your very own tomato cake. You have to eat it all ."
"I will."
"You better."
"Every last crumb," he nods - and even though tomato cake sounds absolutely repulsive to him, his stomach rumbles. Makes you laugh.
"When did you last eat?" you ask as you turn to the hob to fetch some spices off the rack.
Jeongguk mumbles. Says he doesn't really remember. Your eyes are sympathetic, frown present when you face him again.
"Gotta look after yourself," you tell him.
"I know. I will. I am - it's just, this exam, Byeol... I'm bricking it."
You had figured as much, but it's nice to have him confirm it instead of letting your assumptions take the lead.
"S'why I chose a coursework exclusive degree," you tease, trying to lighten his mood. "Was heaven."
"I'm so glad we didn't know each other back then," he laughs. "Would have resented you so badly."
You grimace, and give him a look he doesn't understand.
"You're BEM boy," you explain, shortening his Business and Events Management course name to the acronym that it's more commonly known by on campus. And then you shudder. "We wouldn't have been friends."
"Oh, bullshit," he protests. He knows boys on the full-time BEM course have a reputation amongst the alumni. Fuckboys . He's part-time, though. Doesn't run with those crowds. Is a good few years older than most of them, now.
"Nope," you argue back, still pottering about the kitchen, adding more ingredients to the saucepan. "If you'd have been in uni at the same time as me, I'd have avoided you like the plague."
"Would have been your loss."
Doesn't wanna blow his own trumpet, but knows that he looked damn good at 21. Considers it his peak. Forgets 23, and the amount of girls falling at his feet (was too busy at the time, face down by Hayun's feet instead). Simply doesn't realise how good he looks now, at 25.
Maybe 18-year-old Jeongguk was a little awkward, granted, but everyone is at that age. Whenever he used to visit his friends on campus for nights out, the girls they knew would always want to go out with them.
It's actually how he met Hayun. Was 19, and Taehyung had just done a project with her and Nabi for some extra credit. She came on a night out, and he got so nervous around her that he decided to black out just so he didn't have to feel the nerves. He'd woken up the next morning face down in a kebab box on the floor of Nabi and Hayun's dorm.
He resigned himself to the friend zone, and for a while, it had worked. For years, in fact. Convinced himself that they really were just friends. Best friends. Had offered to shag her after she'd spent a solid twenty minutes complaining about the fact she hadn't had sex for long she may as well have been a born-again virgin. Was just joking - but when she called his bluff, Jeongguk folded.
Maybe it wouldn't have been your loss at all.
Maybe you'd have never become friends, like you are now.
Maybe you both had to live through your traumas to be able to find one another.
You just scoff, unaware of memory lane taking Jeongguk down an unfavourable path. " Sure . My first uni hook-up was with a guy doing BEM. Trust me. I would have avoided you."
"Oh?" Jeongguk questions. "Do I know him?"
Shaking your head, you turn to place the pan on the stovetop, and let it heat up. "Doubt it. Was a final year when I was a fresher, so would have been gone way before you started."
Jeongguk's brows furrow, now. "When you were a fresher? A final year?"
Humming confirmation, you carry on with your cooking.
"He was supervising the fresher's bar crawl," you explain. Can't even remember his name, now. Can barely remember anything about that night. "Was leading my team. I lost against him in a drinking game. Really couldn't handle my drink back then. Anyways, I ended up in some off-campus house with the most vom-inducing hickies known to man."
"So you were drunk?"
It sounds a little accusatory. He doesn't mean to. It's just that he deals with creeps taking advantage of drunk girls all the time. Hates it. Hates thinking it happened to you.
"Yeah?"
"And he wasn't?"
"He was less so. Was still drinking, but yeah, it wasn't my best decision."
The way you shrug it off frustrates Jeongguk. His lips purse a little, and the dimples reserved for moments of contemplation deepen in his cheeks.
"You know what it's like when you're eighteen," you continue, facing away from him, unaware of his obvious contempt. "First taste of freedom and all that. Think you're invincible. And like, I made worse choices that year," you add, as if that's supposed to soften the blow of what you've just told him.
His tummy feels all twisted; as if his body is trying to manifest the concept of time travel just so he can go back and apply for university when everyone else did. Wants to have been your friend right from the start. Wants to erase the reality of creeps taking advantage of you.
"Still a kid at eighteen," he says. Strange, how he doesn't afford his past self the same kindness. "It's so young."
You shrug, turning back around to retrieve the extra vegetables for the sauce. "Easy to think that, looking back. Thought I had the world figured out, at the time. The older I get the more naive I realise I was."
Funny, how years and years later, you feel more clueless than you ever did back then. Relationships were black and white; you either loved someone, or you didn't.
Now, the concept of love you once knew isn't one that you're entirely sure you believe in. Not in the same way you did.
"Anyways, you should shower," you say, moving the conversation along. No point dwelling on pasts that make no difference, now. "You look like shit."
He reaches over to one of the spare tomatoes and throws it in your direction. Smiles when you try to swat it away, only for it to hit your neck regardless.
"Charming as always, Byeol," he says a little dryly, but with his smile still wide.
"Well, you do," you assure him, face straight, eyes earnest.
"Show up at my place, use my hot water, start rummaging around in my fridge-" he says with a tsk .
" You invited me," you scoff right back. " Told me to shower, and I'm cooking for you . Christ alive. You really are unbearable today."
The grin on Jeongguk's face is so pretty, eyes so sparkly, that you think you want to kiss him again. Silly little thought in your silly little head. Silly, and improper, and dangerous. Disastrous, in fact.
"And," you add on, because you know you need this conversation to end. "You stink. So go and get a shower, you horrible boy."
Feeling somewhat challenged, Jeongguk lifts his arm above his head and nestles his nose right into his pit. Inhales, as if he's smelling freshly baked pie. Smiles. "Ahhhh. Delicious."
You gag.
"You wanna smell?" he offers, leaning a little further on the counter, face sweet as he encourages you. The look of repulsion on your face is exactly what he was after. "Yeah?"
"Keep that pit away from me," you warn, holding up the knife you had used to chop the tomatoes.
Despite the threat, Jeongguk edges around the kitchen island. "Yeah? Wanna smell?"
"Stay the fuck away!"
"Wait, I didn't hear you. You said come closer?"
"Gguk!"
For all your protests, the knife is back down on the counter. You tossed it down so you could run from him, but you're not really trying all that hard.
You'll pretend like you are. Wriggle from his grip when he catches you. Try and hide your laugh as he tries to quite literally smother you. Will pinch his nipple through his shirt as a form of defence. Will gag, and whine, and pretend like this is the worst experience of your life.
But in the comedown of Jeongguk's chase, you both giggling, caught in an embrace that is far too close, sauce simmering away without a care, you'll notice the stars in his eyes again. Count the constellations. Forget how to breathe, as if you really are in space without any oxygen.
"You smell like a sweaty ballsack," you tell him with absolute certainty.
Yet your grip on his shirt doesn't ease.
"You look like a sweaty ballsack," he counters. Swallows.
Neither of you pull away. Apparently, you're both partial to a sweaty ballsack. Who'd have thought?
On a fundamental, human level, you're aware that Jeongguk doesn't smell great. He is sweaty and definitely has worn that shirt for like, three days in a row, but... you like it. Oh it's disgusting . Really fucking horrid. Rancid, even.
"Shower," he just says, softly, as if he's reminding himself of what he needs to do.
You nod. "Shower."
But your hands are still holding the sides of his shirt, and his eyes can't seem to focus on yours because they keep dropping to your lips, and then his breathing is all over the place and so is yours and - fuck .
Loosening your grip, you pat the front of his chest. He doesn't move. Just closes his eyes. Nods.
"I need to check the sauce," you whisper. "Go. Shower."
And so he does as he's told. You keep yourself busy tinkering about until you hear the shower start up - at which point, you rest your palms on the counter and let your head hang between your shoulders. Sigh deeper than Marianas Trench. Shake your head. "Stupid."
You're unaware, but he's doing the exact same thing by the bathroom sink.
It had been fine. It had been fun. Why did I have to linger like that? Why did I have to make things weird? Why am I always making things so awkward?
He tosses his clothes down on the pile by the door, his on top of yours, and instantly feels a little bit better when the water hits his skin. Tries not to dwell on it, 'cause if he pretends moments like those don't happen, he won't have to deal with them. Will gaslight himself into thinking it never happened.
You're on the couch by the time he's done with his shower, legs curled up, pasta cooked and waiting in a covered saucepan for him.
"Not eating?" he asks as he notices there's no evidence of you having pasta on the coffee table.
Glancing over to him, you're reminded of post-shower Jeongguk and why the concept of it is so dangerous for you. Towel wrapped around his waist, water trailing down his abs... Yeah. You lose your mind a little. Think that any sane human would also lose theirs.
"I, uh-" you pause. Swallow. "Um. Sorry. Eat?"
"Yeah," he smirks, a little bemused. Figures you were lost in the show you're watching. Still in his shirt, your hair is pretty much dry, now, slight waves framing your face while the rest of it is still pinned back in a claw clip. You really do need to decide what you're doing with the colour. The bleach is growing out far faster than you thought it would, but you can't commit yourself to getting rid of it. Jeongguk likes the slightly messy nature of it all. Thinks it suits you. "No pasta?"
"Oh," you enthuse when you realise what he was asking. "Was just waiting for you."
He apologises. Says you should have started without him. Says he wouldn't have minded it, and thanks you again for cooking. "Smells amazing."
Quick to throw on some clean clothes, Jeongguk shoos you out of the way when he gets back to the kitchen and finds you about to plate up. Insists he does it. You've done all the hard work. He's happy to wash up, but he wants to at least contribute now.
Jeongguk takes a single bite of the pasta before he stands up, retrieves the saucepan and a heat mat, then sets it down on the coffee table.
"You okay there?" you laugh, a little puzzled by him.
When he turns to look at you, as if you've betrayed him. "You never told me you could cook, B."
He had been expecting a regular, run-of-the-mill tomato pasta - nothing wrong with that, he would have enjoyed it - but this? Oh, this is as close to heaven as humans get through food. It's rich and spicy, but also a little sweet and tangy when it needs to be. The rigatoni is cooked just right. Just how he likes it.
"You can't?" You laugh, digging into your own bowl. Admittedly, it is banging. Your favourite comfort recipe, you're quietly overjoyed that he likes it.
He shakes his head to say no. Has always enjoyed cooking. Knows he'll have to make you his signature pork belly one day. If you end up staying tonight (which he's hoping you will, even if he is awful company at the moment), he'll cook breakfast.
"I can - I just... fuck me, Byeol," he almost moans. "This shit is good."
Jeongguk's always had a good stroke game, but when it comes to stroking your ego? Yeah, he ain't bad at that, either.
He also isn't bad at turning himself into a literal human hoover. It's a miracle he doesn't choke, or get heartburn. He's already nearly polished off the leftovers from the pan before you've even made it halfway through your bowl (of which he had filled to the brim, because portion control with a body like his doesn't apparently matter).
Pasta eaten - or in Jeongguk's case, absolutely demolished - he allows himself the luxury of switching off for the first time all week. Other than a quick gym session here and there, or coffee with Hayun towards the start of the week, he hasn't taken a moment to relax at all.
You're rabbiting on about something inconsequential, just letting him exist. You know it's been a hard week. The television plays in the background, big light turned off, your feet in his lap. He stokes a little mindlessly over your ankle, self-soothing for him and just as comforting for you. He's meant to be listening, but zoned a little while ago.
Initially, he was thinking about the weird moment between you both in the kitchen earlier, but tried to get it out of his head.
Ends up thinking about the BEM twat you mentioned earlier, instead. Thinks you've got horrible taste in men - or at least, in hookups. He knows both he and Jimin could be classified in that category, but he disregards that. Or at least, he disregards himself .
At least he makes you orgasm. If he asks, will probably be horrified by the amount of times you've gone without one during intercourse. It's not always, but often. Never with him though, which is nice.
Scares you a little bit. The idea of the best sex of your life being with someone who isn't romantically involved with you just doesn't sit right. What if you fall in love and Jeongguk is still the best you've ever had? Will you be comparing? It's a variable you're yet to test out. One that worries you.
But all Jeongguk can think about is the fact that you're his friend. And he cares about you. And he thinks you deserve to feel good. And knows he can do that. And that he wants to do that. And so, quite suddenly, Jeongguk interrupts you.
"Can I get you off?"
You almost choke on your own spit. Had been explaining a new discovery of ancient mammals using tools for hunting and cooking. Not the most enticing topic of conversation, to say the least.
"Sorry?" You laugh, taken aback by the sudden request.
He looks away. Looks at his hands. Looks back at you. Wishes he wouldn't let the impulsive thoughts win, sometimes.
But then, because apparently he's a fucking idiot with no self-control, he asks again. "Can I get you off?"
The answer is always, unabashedly, yes . You've been caught off guard though. Panic. Ask, "Why?"
He shrugs. Looks at his hands again, eyes wide, brows furrowed. Wants to pour boiling water in his ear to melt his brain. Would probably work better if it was mush, he thinks. A reply to your question sits on the tip of your tongue, but there are too many variations for him to choose from - Because you deserve it. Because I'm horny. Because I want to. - so he just says: "fun."
And, like, he's not wrong. It is fun. You just thought it would be the last thing on his mind, given how stressed and sleepy he's been.
"I mean, do you want to?" you laugh, a little hot beneath the shirts of his that you're wearing by the mere suggestion of it.
He shrugs. Thinks it's a stupid question. Nods. "Get your minge out."
The horror plastered all over your face wouldn't be out of place in a Hitchcock film.
"Get my minge out?!" You hiss, your repulsion only second to shock.
"Yeah," he smirks. Is deliberately being vulgar because it's funny, and he needs this to be anything but romantic. Will lose his fucking head if he starts thinking about stars and constellations and shit like that again - but fuck . Even after a shower, you're covered in glitter! He can never fuckin' win. Is in a constant state of war with his own head. How can he ever expect to win against the milky way in human form? You'll eclipse him one day, and he'll enjoy every second of it.
"It's almost like you don't want me to get wet," you tell him, as if you didn't feel a slight twinge in your stomach when he smirked. Wasn't your fault. His lip ring did the thing. You're only human. Was bound to happen.
"I think you're already wet," he says all rather plainly.
"That's beyond the point."
It's a satisfying answer. One that makes him feel all smug. Gets his cock a little twitchy.
"Look, I'm stressed, B," he admits. "There's so much going on in my head that I can't think straight. Getting you off is, like, a stress reliever."
You furrow your brows. "Surely getting yourself off is a stress reliever?"
"I can do that at the same time, if you want?" He says, cheeky in the way he raises his eyebrows and toys with his lip ring.
"You are such a boy."
"So is that a no?"
That's the thing about you and Jeongguk; you'll never reject him.
In fact, it's probably quite futile for his whole fear of rejection thing. That'll be a thought to battle with later, though.
"It's an 'ask nicely' ."
Jeongguk gently squeezes your ankle, before getting to his feet and piling the pasta bowls into a neat stack. "Let me just wash up, alright?"
You watch him as he walks away not even waiting for a response. He does it often; wants your approval of things he's already determined to do. It's sweet, in a way. Could be frustrating, given the right circumstances, but it hasn't been so far. You just kinda keep your gaze on him, confused at how a man so reserved and cautious in one moment can be so reckless and charming in the next.
"Byeol?" He hums, flicking on the tap and reaching for the dish soap.
"Hmm?" You hum right back.
"Go wait in my room."
It takes you a second or so to follow his commands. Earns a minuscule plea from him. "Please, B."
You can't refuse him. Not really. Never have been able to.
His room is still a mess. Glitter-tarnished pillows clue you into the fact that he hasn't washed his sheets since new years - but then you remember the fact he definitely changed the bottom sheet. Colour floods to your cheeks, memories of that night crashing to the forefront of your mind.
You try to forget about it. Forget the kisses. Forget the way it sounds when Jeongguk calls you ' baby '.
This? Now? Nothing more than a stress reliever. ' Fun '.
You neaten up his bed, and tuck the takeout boxes out of sight. Turn on his cosmic mood lamp, but leave the curtains open. You preen yourself in his mirror. Realise there's something missing, so retrieve the little pot of glitter from his shelf.
The remains of the day's glitter are all over your skin, but the shower had cleansed your eyes of it. Makes you feel naked. You hate it - so quickly stipple a little in your inner corners and beneath your lash line.
It's funny. When you take off the shirt of his that you're wearing, and toss it over the back of his chair a moment later, you don't feel naked. Feel perfectly yourself. A glitter girlie through and through.
Jeongguk stops in his tracks as soon as he reaches his door frame. You're standing on the other side of his bed, a coy smile on your lips
"Fuck."
His eyes are all over you, tongue wetting his bottom lip before his teeth press down on it. Something about your body really gets him. It's likely the memories - knowing how your skin tastes, how soft your tits are and how hard your nipples can get, the pressure of your lips on his neck - that gets him even stiffer in his sweats.
He really underestimated the consequences of telling you to get your minge out. Should have thought about that.
"You're gonna kill me one day," he mutters as you get onto the bed with almost feline elegance. He walks a little closer. Meets you by the corner of his mattress. Doesn't object as you palm him through his sweats. Sighs into your touch. "God."
Perfectly poised to suck his dick, you both know that you could. He wants it. Wants it so badly he can't even begin to articulate a request.
But it's not about him. Not even when your lips press pretty kisses against the outline of his cock.
He's making you cum. He has to. Will die if he doesn't.
"On your back," he husks. "Spread your legs for me."
There's a pout on your lips, but you do as he says. When your back hits his sheets, your tits pillow on your chest, perfectly round and desperately in need of his lips around your nipples. Legs open for him, one of your hands dips to your pussy while the other cups one of your boobs. Middle and forefinger spreading your wet lips for him, you feign a little innocence.
"This what you want?"
All he can do is nod, eyes transfixed on just how good you look. Wetness seeps from you, covering you in the most glorious sheen. You're always so wet for him. So ready. So willing.
You massage yourself a little for him. Toy with your clit. Whine probably more than you really need to.
Standing at the end of his bed, cock furiously hard in the strained material of his sweats, Jeongguk wraps his hands around your ankles. Yanks you further down his bed. Gets you all giggly.
He doesn't loosen his grip straight away. Instead, he lifts your legs. Rests your heels on his shoulders. Reaches down to squeeze your boobs. Grunts. "Fuckin' tits, man."
You're grinning, still. "What of them?"
He shakes his head. Grins, too. "Fuckin' corrupted me."
"You want them in your mouth again, don't you?" You tease - but are quickly put back in your place when Jeongguk sinks a finger into your hot cunt. "Fuck."
"Keep playing with yourself," he says, before getting all shy. He's about to admit how much he likes your tits. Again . As if you don't already know. Cringes. Tilts his head to the side, nose nestling against your foot. Smiles. Looks back at you with shame and sin all over his starry features. Sinks a second finger into you. "Yeah, I wanna suck them. So fuckin' bad."
His fingers are slow as they work their way into you. In. Out. Push. Pull. It's heaven. Slow. Deep. Just like Jeongguk's eyes and the way they study the pleasure on your face. He's taking his time.
You draw dainty little circles on your clit, not wanting to take the focus away from the feeling of his fingers. The combination is lethal; the furrowing of Jeongguk's brows a trigger that could set you off at any given moment.
Something about his work ethic really gets you. He puts his all into the things he does. Wants to be the best. Endeavours to always get top marks. The way he's cramming for his exam? Yeah. It's hot. His determination? His drive? So incredibly sexy. It comes as no surprise that he's got similar prowess for making you come undone. He reads your body. Understands that the tight closing of your eyes is pleasure, not pain. Knows that the flexing of your calves against his chest, the pointing of your toes by his ears, means he's stroking at the right spot; curling his fingers just right.
His spare hand strokes up your leg. Grips your ankle, his thumb lacing itself beneath your anklet. Your head pushes back into his sheets, spine arching for him.
"Yeah?" he encourages as he continues stroking up against your front wall. "Does it feel good?"
Eyes still closed, you nod. Whimper.
A little more pressure on your clit would make you come. You aren't doing it 'cause you want this feeling to last, but you're already so close. He knows exactly how to get you on edge. Finds your weak points and exploits them for his own pleasure; the satisfaction of giving you an orgasm.
"Good," he husks, pressing his lips against the side of your foot, just cause he needs to do something with them. Fucks his fingers into a little deeper. Slower. Is dulcet as he says, "wanna fuck you so bad."
"Do it," you whine. "Fuck me. Please."
You can hear the tiny little nose breath he does as a soft smirk graces his lips. Can feel them against your foot as he shakes his head and whispers, "no."
You whine. Pout. "Gguk-"
But then he builds speed. Is so fast you can barely breathe let alone speak. Makes your entire body shake.
"That's it," he keens. "Keep rubbing your clit. You're gonna cum for me."
"Gguk."
"You're gonna cum."
Thing is, it's not a command. It's an observation. He can feel you getting tighter; feel the familiar clamp of your hot muscles against his long fingers. Knows that this is what precedes heaven on earth.
All you can do is nod. "Gonna cum."
Your hips roll up into his touch, desperate to be as full of him as you can be. As you press down on your clit, the way Jeongguk shallows his finger to directly hit your g-spot has you mewling. His fingers are fast as he repeatedly motions them upwards, the knot in your stomach growing tight and tighter and tighter - until, gradually, eventually, but all very suddenly, the rope snaps entirely.
Your orgasm washes over you like tidal waves, throbbing walls tightening around Jeongguk's fingers, your spare hand grabbing at his wrist to both stop him and keep him in place. It's too much and not enough all at the same time. You continue applying pressure to your clit as writhe in his sheets.
Jeongguk watches on, jaw slack, eyes hungry. He could watch this all day; how the creases between your brows don't ease, not even when your lips curl into a smile. How your chest heaves, and your legs jolt. God. He wishes you were a part of his exam. He'd pass with flying colours.
"You good?" He asks a little too fondly, smiling down at you.
Laughing to yourself a little, you cover your eyes with your forearm. Nod. "Good."
But you're also not done.
There's a plethora of sticky notes on his wall, and you're pretty sure Jeongguk hasn't had a release in a fair few days. He needs this more than you.
And so when you tell him to pick a sticky note, he doesn't waste time. Goes for one at waist level - figures you probably put it up, not him.
Turning back to face you, the sticky note affixed to his index finger as he reads it, his brows furrow. Face contorts. Head tilts to the side.
"What the fuck is an erotic accordion?"
—
"I don't ever wanna see you in that position again," Jeongguk shudders, decidedly not finding anything erotic about being positioned like a fucking accordion.
The mechanics of it all just do not do it for him. It's not even so much the awkwardness of you, but himself. Didn't like seeing himself in that position. Has never been so aware of his own legs during a shag. Weirded him out.
You snort. "Please - I think it was the least sexually attracted to you I've ever been."
Jeongguk toys with his lip ring, tattooed arm folded across his chest, sheets pooling just beneath his belly button. Back against his headrest, all of his pillows are on the floor. They'd just gotten in the way earlier.
You're on your back, legs up against his headrest, both mirroring and subverting his position. On top of the sheets, you're wearing one of his shirts to cover your modesty.
"So you admit it," he teases with a raise of his eyebrows as you look over towards him. Wish there were still pillows on his bed so you could hit him with one. "You do think I'm hot."
"Not when you're positioned like that," you tease right back.
It's all in good humour. Neither of you are taking any offence. The whole point of these sticky notes is to find out what you do and don't like - the erotic accordion? Yeah. You'll file that one under 'not again'.
Although the more Jeongguk thinks about it, the more open he is to it.
"Felt pretty good, though."
The position, which had been one of your sticky notes, involved him laying on his back with his knees to his chest. The thought of it now makes you giggle. He looked quite cute, all things considered. Submissive. Shy.
He's got that pensive face of his on, looking straight ahead at his desk. There's an assignment open on his dual screens, and he does need to get back to it soon, but he's making the most of a short break with you.
His lips ring does the thing as he nibbles down on his bottom lip.
You move your leg a little to tap his head with your foot, getting his attention.
"Mhm?" he hums, eyes still unfocused.
"Did it really feel good?"
He nods. Looks at you now. Smirks, but tries to hide it. Shrugs his broad shoulders, collar bones catching on the light of his monitors. Dark outside, they're the only thing lighting up the room now that his lamp is turned off.
"Can't get that deep," he simply states. "There's, like, a lot going on around the tip. It's the most sensitive part, isn't it? So yeah."
You've always been a deep penetration girlie, but even you have to admit the shallowness of his cock pushing into only just your entrance before pulling out again felt really nice. Completely different to what you're used to - especially from him.
Glancing down his chest to where his hand rests over his crotch, you assess the situation. The sheets cover him, but you know he's a little hard beneath them.
You adjust slightly. Press your thighs together, heels against his wall.
With a hearty sign, you feign a little boredom. "Fine. I'll fuck you again."
"Sorry?" He almost giggles. Teeth on show, nose a little scrunched, he doesn't understand you, sometimes. Enjoys it, though. Likes how you aren't taking the sticky notes seriously.
It alleviates him of the pressure that would come with doing these things with anyone else, he thinks.
He knows that's the whole point of them - try these things with you, so that he doesn't have to fear rejection of asking for them with anyone else - but he's surprised at how well it seems to work.
Then again, he's not yet put any of them into practice.
Unaware of his complex thoughts, yours are far more simple: you're still horny.
The accordion really isn't all that erotic. You didn't finish. Didn't care for reciprocation, 'cause Jeongguk's got a wall full of sticky notes, and it's only just gone midnight. You know you'll be coming undone at least once more tonight - if Jeongguk's track record is anything to go by, it'll be plenty more.
Tapping his head with your foot again, you smile as his hand wraps around your ankle.
"Stop," he mumbles, nose resting on the top of your foot, lips pressing against the side of it.
You bite down on your bottom lip, a little flustered from heavenly his chocolatey eyes appear. He keeps his grip on your ankle and pulls it over his lap, encouraging your body to twist. Dragging you to straddle him, reverse cowgirl style, Jeongguk isn't shy about the fact he's hard again.
"You're so easy," you simper, slinking down like a cat, back a little arched, arms straight out ahead of you. His hands push his shirt up, and grips the soft flesh of your hips, pulling you a little further up his lap. You automatically find yourself grinding a little against him. Force of habit.
"Me?" He murmurs, gripping your ass now. He's a little rough with it. Fingers strong. You half think he's gonna spank you - but then he sinks his middle finger straight into your cunt. Still wet and wanting after the sex, Jeongguk enjoys teasing you. Likes keeping you keen. It's fun. He pulls the entire length of his finger out from you. Licks it clean. Keeps his hushed groan quiet. Fingers you again. Pulls out, again. The sound of him intruding and leaving is so satisfying. He does it again. Again, again. You're a little whimpery. "I'm the easy one?"
"Mhmm," you whine as he pushes into you again, still a single, long finger. He holds it there this time. "So easy."
The way you're positioned right now has him wanting to act on his ass-guy impulses. You kind of knew it would. He got you into this position far too easily for it not to have been something he's perfected over the years.
"Can I?" He husks, not wanting to ask the full question, hoping you'll understand.
You do. You know exactly what he wants. Wanna give him the green light without hesitation - but you're supposed to be helping one another.
"Ask properly," you say, voice contorted with the anticipation of pleasure. "Ask for what you want, Jeongguk."
"Mhh," he groans. The hand that isn't currently occupied with your pussy squeezes the soft mound of your ass. "I hate it when you make me do this."
It's almost like he's forgotten how often he makes you directly ask for things.
Your hips roll for him, Jeongguk's fingers still inside. Can't help but moan. "Gotta do it, Gguk. Gotta open yourself up for rejection."
He knows you won't say no. Knows rejection isn't on the table here, and yet he sort of worries about it, still. This is something he wants. Something he's expressed desire in; exclusively his.
Jeongguk lowers his head. Presses a kiss to where his hand was once squeezing your ass. Rests his forehead there. Groans.
"You know I want it," you husk, encouraging him. "All you gotta do is ask. Use your big boy words."
He just whines again. Is deliberately dramatic when he says, "Don't say shit like that, Byeol. I'll cum in my pants."
With a soft laugh, you turn back to look at him. Your faces are both partially obscured by the positioning of your body, but your eyes are able to meet. He's pouting. Eyes wide. Looks as if he's telling gospel truths.
"You're not gonna cum in your pants," you tell him, knowing he's a big fat liar. He's probably not even ready to go again, yet.
"No," he admits. "But I might die.
Rolling your eyes, you grin as you regain your former position. "So you want your dying words to be that of a coward, huh?"
He sighs. Knows you're right. Fucks his finger into you even deeper, stroking at your walls. Gets you a little whiney .
"Wanna eat your ass, " he gruffs, spreading your cheeks a little with his spare hand. You're on display for him, the tight muscle he's dying to get his tongue on just waiting there patiently; pristine. "Let me. Please ."
And then, quite unexpectedly, you free yourself from his grip. Pull away.
Turn to face him, and smile with a grin Jeongguk knows is trouble.
"No."
Lips hanging ajar, Jeongguk looks like he's just been hit in the chest with a paintball gun. He almost wants to question it - No? What do you mean no? - but he knows exactly what no means. Respects it. And yet he feels a little cheated.
"B..." is all he says, because, like, what the fuck? You'd practically been edging him. Forced him to ask .
"Gguk..." you tease back, obviously finding this far more amusing than he is.
His face is a picture, confusion contorting his features, silence speaking for him. It's the reaction you expected, but it makes you feel a lot more guilty than you had anticipated. It's not that you're trying to be a dick. You really did want him to do it.
But Jeongguk is also yet to face any form of rejection. The girls he's spoken to have been interested in him. Not once has he faced any sizable consequence to his questions or actions, and even though you know that asking to eat your ass isn't exactly the top of his issues, you have to reject him. Have to get him used to the feeling. Have to let him get comfortable with it.
He doesn't really know what to do. Purses his lips. Nods. Is obviously disappointed, but trying his best not to let it show.
You feel guilty. Come a little closer. Straddle his lap again, and guide his chin so that his gaze is directly on yours.
He resists at first. Is embarrassed. Feels all horrible inside. It's even worse that his cock is still hard. The entire thing is a bit mortifying. Doesn't wanna look at you, 'cause he feels stupid. Must have misread the situation. Idiot.
But he hadn't misread it all.
You hadn't planned on doing that. Just kind of had an impulsive thought - what if I do reject him? - and let it win.
"That was mean," he whispers so quietly that you almost don't hear it.
You nod, noses nudging against his. "It was."
"Say sorry," he pouts.
When you smile, a small giggle is held back. "I'm sorry. Should I kiss you?" you offer. He pulls you a little further up his lap. Makes you think a kiss is coming. "To say sorry?"
Closer, closer, closer. His nose nudges up against yours. He pauses. "No."
It's direct. To the point. Gets you in your chest a little. Rejection . Funny little thing.
"I wasn't trying to be a dick. There is a sticky note with it on, Koo," you begin to explain. Jeongguk hates how loopy that name makes his tummy feel. "It's gonna happen. I want it to happen."
Yet you didn't let it. He doesn't get it. Doesn't understand. It's a rare instance of your communication going awry.
"You made me ask," he mumbles, pouting. "And then you..."
You stay silent. Wait for him to figure it out. It takes only a second or so. You know he's cracked it when his thumbs begin to stroke against your skin like it normally does.
"And then I rejected you," you nod. Feel incredibly guilty about it now.
Living through rejection in times of vulnerability is important for him. He needs to process that it's okay; that rejection isn't automatic doom and gloom. That he can put himself out and not fear rejection - not because it will never happen, but because he can recognise that life goes on after it.
And it does. For now, though, he's still a little embarrassed.
"I hate that you did that," he says candidly, voice quiet, nose nestled against yours. Wants to stay close. Wants the comfort that comes with it. Eyes shut, his confidence feels shot to shit.
On a normal day, he'd probably not be so concerned about it all - however his emotions are running high. It's just the stress, but it's impacting all of his interactions.
"I'm sorry," you whisper.
"I know," he whispers right back. He genuinely does believe you are - but also believes you shouldn't have to apologise for saying no. "It's okay. 'No' is okay. You can say sorry for being a meanie, but that's all. Can't say sorry for saying 'no' , okay?"
Oh, you've never wanted to kiss him more. Give him the biggest, sweetest smooch for just being so inexorably endearing.
But you just nod. He'd said 'no' to kisses earlier.
Life goes on. Jeongguk knows this. Repeats it like an oath.
Life goes on. Life goes on. Life goes on.
"Two choices," he says. Pulls away a little. Wants to look in your starry eyes, and forget what just happened. "Choice one - we call it a night and get some sleep."
"Or?" you encourage, still feeling a little awful about the whole rejection thing.
"Or, choice two - you go and pick a sticky note, this time. We do whatever it says."
If there's one thing for certain, it's that you love a good redemption arc. Think this is a no-brainer. You hop off his lap without a second thought and pluck one off the wall at random.
Jeongguk bites down on his bottom lip as he watches you. His head is all over the place, but he knows one definite truth: you make things feel okay .
Embarrassment? It's null and void, with you. Sure, he feels it in the moment, but it always just simmers away. Disappears.
"So?" he asks, as you scan over the words of the note.
It's Jeongguk's handwriting. Is deserved, you think.
You turn it around for him to read, getting back into position on his lap. He welcomes you back, Holds your waist as you intrude on his personal space more - but is it really intruding if he's opening the door for you? Welcoming you in?
"Ah," he grins a little awkwardly. " That ."
" That ," you echo with a small giggle.
"You wanna do it?" he asks, a little cautiously this time.
You're so proud.
He opened himself for rejection again . He can do it.
With a nod, and every muscle in your body willing your lips not to kiss him, you say, "yeah. I do."
Jeongguk grins even brighter, now. Has stars in his smile. Thoughts of twenty minutes prior don't bother him anymore.
"Alright," he sighs a little, as if he isn't secretly really keen for what's yet to come. "Let's get it."

I Love You
John Doe x Reader Blurb
CW: Unhealthy Relationship, Referenced Kidnapping/Captive Reader, General Relationship Angst from Yandere Doe, Author Projecting on You
Literally just wrote this because I'm sleep deprived and wanted to post some angst id normally write in a doc or something LOL
He didn't understand why you were crying. Why you were ignoring him. Why you seemed so scared when he came near you. Of course, he liked seeing you scared. He liked your tears. He liked how jumpy you were. But... Not like this.
"You... Look at me." He whines, reaching out to touch your arm before pausing as you flinch. "You, what's wrong? Did something happen?" His voice is full of concern.
You can't muster up the energy to even respond with a sound.
"My love?" Doe brings himself to force you into a hug, no longer minding it as you tremble and try to shake him off. "Talk to me, You! I miss your voice..."
You don't want to look at him. You don't want to talk to him. You don't want to be anywhere near him. But you can't escape. Whatever he is... You're just trapped. Wherever you go in his 'house' he'll find you. The front door, the windows- It all leads to a terrifying abyssal mess that you're sure would kill you if it had the chance. You're safest with him. For now, at least.
He takes a deep inhale of your scent, sighing as he nuzzles into you. His arms are wrapped around yours, and his hair is smothering you as it coils and clings with an equally deranged need for you.
"You...?" He speaks up again. "I love you.~"
I love you. You hated how he said that- You knew he meant it, to an extent. But...
"I love love love you!" He repeats, grinning as he rolls his head against yours. "Don't you love me too?"
No. You didn't. How could you? He'd... Taken you. You barely knew him!
~ "Can I come home with you?" He'd asked. Of course you said no- This man was on the bus you took to work, then showed up there too- Who knows how long he'd been watching you?
It didn't matter what you said. Because soon enough, he'd shown up in your home. You told him to leave- And when he wouldn't, you tried to leave your self. But the second you turned around, you realized something was wrong. Your house... Wasn't yours.
It was his.
You didn't understand how it happened, or why, but now you were here.
It had been a day, maybe. You couldn't tell. It didn't matter. All that mattered to him is you were there. ~
"Doe." You say softly, and he immediately becomes ecstatic. "Yes, You? What is it, my love?" His hyper voice hurts your ear as he talks so loud. With the flinch you make, he seems to understand.
"I want to go home." You continued. His joyous persona faded a bit. "What do you mean, You? You are home! You're with me!"
"No. I want to be at my house." You say a bit more sternly.
His smile is a bit more forced now as he moves uncomfortably. You can keep telling him that all you want- He hates the idea.
"But... You? I love you! Why do you want to leave?" He can't even comprehend why you're uncomfortable in this situation.
It could take a few minutes, days- Might never happen. But hopefully, one day he finally caves. With a lot of guilt on both sides.
- "Doe, you don't do this to someone you love." You reason while trying to stay calm. "I want to go outside. I wanna see the sky- Feel nature under me- Have fresh air."
He lets out a soft whimper, similar to a dog. "But, You-"
"No, Doe." You don't let him finish whatever he's planning to say to make you feel bad for wanting to leave. "This isn't normal. I want to leave. Now."
You hate the feeling as it hurts you to raise your voice at him, to use a negative tone with him. But you have to. If there's any chance of you loving him back, he needs to let you go.
The look on his face is so... Scared. If he could cry, he would.
You look away, taking a deep breath. "Doe..." Your voice is much more gentle now, and he anxiously awaits your words.
"I just want to go back to my house." You start to explain. "I want to go home. I want to go outside. I want to do... Anything. Anything outside of here. It doesn't mean I'm leaving you."
He's holding his jacket and trembling.
"I'm not like you. I can't just stay cooped up like this. And you can't make me stay here and claim to love me."
"But I-"
"I know. You do love me. That's what you're going to say, isn't it?"
He tenses up more. It looked like he was almost breaking under the stress. You hesitate in your mind, eventually reaching out to touch him.
"I understand you don't want to be alone. I know... You love me. But right now, I can't feel the same. Let me go. Take me back to my house. You can stay near me. I just... Need a break."
He's quiet.
" . . . Do you promise you won't leave me, You?"
Silence.
You sigh, pulling him into a hug.
"I promise I won't leave you, Doe."

Biting
ਏਓ
about ; biting headcannons
warnings ; fem!reader, biting, nsfw, mention of blood
includes ; scaramouce, itto, childe, kaeya
[ from mono ; this request was originally from my old account for biting hc's for scaramouche. included some others i think would be into it 。゚(TヮT)゚。 ]
childe.
ajax, tartaglia, childe, all the names he goes by does not even hold a candle to how much this man adores being bitten by you.
yes, that's right, he loves being bitten by you.
the 11th harbinger is a complete slut for you and would ideally do anything you asked him to.
he wants to be all yours, just as he wants you to be all his. so, what better way to show who he belongs to and cherishes more than a mark? a bite mark.
he would most likely cum as soon as you sink your teeth onto his skin. there's something so raw and primal about it that allows him to disregard the pain and feel the absolute pleasure of being yours.
he would also be incredibly obnoxious about it too, showing his bite mark off during fatui meetings, always leaning his neck to the side to show it off.
he's like a loyal lap dog who loves whatever treat you give him, almost to the point where he would beg for it whenever he's close to cumming.
"oh go- please, bite me- fuck, please, please, please bite me-"
꙳⸌♡⸍꙳
itto.
as we all know, itto is an oni. that means there is damn near no way this man does not 1. have a breeding kink, and 2. become so possessive during sex that he loses it and leaves marks and bites all over you.
however, itto with a breeding kink is a separate thing.
itto loves marking you.
whether it is leaving hickeys on your chest or bitemarks on your thighs, itto goes absolutely feral seeing you all marked up because of him.
much like ajax, itto is also a loyal lap dog who does whatever you ask.
however, he's also a bit of a selfish lapdog who makes it very well known that you're his, though he'll probably go crazy if you say it aloud.
he talks a lot of crap, but at the end he's a muddled mess the second you beg him to mark you and show everyone you're his.
"oh-, oh wow! um, yeah heh, of course! that was hot.. can you ask me again?"
꙳⸌♡⸍꙳
kaeya.
kaeya is a flirt, we all know this. we also know he's the #1 pick to date from all grandma's in mondstat. so, where does this leave us?
kaeya gives you a ton of shit for liking being bitten, but you know all too well that he loves doing it.
the cavalry captain would never do such perverted things, as he is an angel in the face of everyone.
however, behind closed doors, that sadistic and teasing smile of his drives you insane.
he always teases you, leaving light kisses along your neck as you're almost in tears begging him to bite you and leave a mark for everyone to see.
who was he to deny a beautiful woman in tears asking for such a favor? even the cavalry captain wouldn't be able to hold up his front.
the truth is, blood rushes straight to his cock the second you even mention him biting you. he loves it. the way you cling onto him, eyelashes wet with tears, words barely coherent enough for him to understand what you're asking.
"oh, you poor thing. you want it so bad, hm? how are you going to hide this? or do you perhaps want to show it off?"
꙳⸌♡⸍꙳
scaramouche.
being a former god, scaramouche obviously thinks quite highly of himself.
he would never subject himself nor his skin to the lowly teeth of you or the animalistic action of biting.
it's so uncivil, you're not an animal.
so, why does he cum every time you bite him? why does he shiver and feel absolute euphoria as you lick the blood away from the raw skin?
why does he find himself grazing his fingers over the marks you left, reliving it in his head and immediately getting hard?
certainly, it's not because he enjoys such a gross action!
once you break him, there is no fixing him as he will become putty in your hands the second you bite him.
"don't you dare- hah, god- please, more."

Hi, how are you? Could you do one of how they would react when we bring a pet with us? With Vittorio, Gabriel and Renato
Sure. I'm going to switch it to the reader bringing a pet home if that's alright. Please enjoy. Also, for the Renato one, the scientific name for iguana is actually iguana iguana.
With a reader who brings up at home: Vittorio, Gabriel, Renato
Renato Lyra
You're barely through the door.
"Hey, is that an iguana?"
"No way!"
"Did you know the scientific name for an iguana is iguana iguana?"
And he'll go off.
The man's like a walking encyclopedia.
Yes, he may be a bit socially awkward.
But he loves animals.
Loves them.
It's a miracle he hasn't brought an animal home himself already.
He'll actually confess that he has tried in the past but was too afraid of your reaction to go through with it.
So he's got a whole collection of pet care items that he's been saving for just such an occasion.
So you won't have to worry about going to find things for your new pet, he's already got them.
Renato isn't great at making friends.
So this animal may be his ticket to learning to talk to people.
For, at least giving him the confidence to.
He'll walk around the survivor campfire with the iguana on his shoulder.
"What? He's a great conversation starter."
And, to be fair, Ronaldo is absolutely correct.
With his new pet, he has gained the confidence to talk to other survivors and make friends.
It's going to end up more of his pet than yours.
Iguanas have a tendency to bond to just a few people.
And it has absolutely bonded to Renato.
More so than you.
But, seeing your boyfriend so happy with his new pet and new friends?
It's worth it.
Vittorio Toscano
A pet?
"You want to... Keep it?"
"Like... In the house?"
Vittorio grew up in a time where pets weren't really a thing.
You had farm animals, that's it.
And they weren't considered pets.
Much less family members.
So it's going to take him time to get used to the concept of having an animal live and sleep with you.
But if this giant dog makes you so happy, who is he to tell you otherwise?
He'll be observing you playing, feeding, and walking your dog.
To him, it's very strange.
But, seeing as it makes you so happy, he wants to know what the hype is about.
So he'll observe you like it's some sort of science experiment.
Don't take it as him being condescending or rude.
He's genuinely trying to figure out what makes owning a pet so appealing.
However, his observations don't really get the same feel as actually playing or just being with a dog.
So, handsome the leash and tell him what to do.
At first, he'll be very rigid and pull the dog a lot.
But, after you show him what to do, he'll start to get the feel of things.
In just a few short weeks he went from confused and bewildered to a loving doting dog dad.
And, just like any pet parrot, he's always talking about his dog.
It's like the same skeptical person that existed just a few weeks prior never existed.
"It's because I didn't know the joys of owning a dog."
Soon, he'll probably know even more than you.
Until completely take over the care of the dog.
Seeing him so carefree and happy is such a rewarding feeling that you can't help but Wonder what he would do if you suggested getting another dog.
Don't be surprised if your house turns into more of a zoo than an actual home in the future.
Gabriel Soma
Another one who had never owned a pet.
Except, for him, it's because he's not exactly a normal human.
He's a clone that was made for a specific job.
Almost like a robot.
You wouldn't give a robot a pet.
So, naturally, he doesn't really understand the concept.
But the moment this little kitten crawls into his lap, he knows.
It's like something inside him suddenly clicks.
"I can't move... The cat is sleeping on me."
And if you suggest moving it?
"That would be rude."
"They look so comfortable, I don't want to ruin that."
And a billion other excuses as to why you shouldn't remove the cat from his lap.
He's also very into training your cat.
He'll find and read countless books about training cats and what you can do with it.
"Well, like humans, animals require mental stimulation."
Gabriel could almost recite the entire book to you.
He's that into it.
Soon, you'll have a cat that can do basic tricks and is target trained.
It's something that keeps the both of them busy.
Gabriel is used to working non-stop, so resting is difficult for him.
This is a great way to use his free time doing something productive.
Occasionally, when Gabriel feels like relaxing, you'll find the two of them snuggled up together on the couch or the bed.
It's so amazing to believe that your ever busy boyfriend could be calmed with just a little cat.

Okay they call me the yammerer because—
But I also love fics like yours that break Donnie down to his bare essentials—I’m specifically thinking of that deleted dialogue in Donnie vs Witchtown where he outright SAYS that he feels or at least perceives that making tech is all he’s good for. He’s not the best with people, but he IS good with tech, and he can use that to help his family and be less of a burden towards them. Or he can try his damn hardest to make something that’s useful to them, that’s good, and then they’ll keep him around in spite of what he sees are weaknesses. Despite them throwing the fact that they love him for HIM on his face, I think early Rise!Donnie really struggles with that notion, and it’s only later in his life that he starts trying to branch out and see what else he can do that isn’t borne out of some desire to feel useful.
If you take that dynamic and twist it—if you make a Donnie that feels like all he can be is a tool, a weapon, something to keep churning out what the people who need him the most will like or something to be pointed towards the enemy and put back away when he’s done or even something that’s only useful when it accomplishes a task (haha robot metaphors go brrrrrr), it becomes deliciously both angsty and compelling to examine.
I feel like canary continuity explores that so so well. Donnie has such an innate desire for his family to like him, deep down, to find him useful, that he doesn’t even question whether something is wrong with them to make them act this way. He just throws himself into the task allocated to him—make his family happy, stay out of the way, keep his head down so that maybe whatever he’s done to piss them off so royally will blow over, because it must be his fault that they’re mad, right? And then we see him breaking down because he can’t do that task, he can’t seem to make his family happy no matter what he tries, and if he can’t accomplish his task then what good is he.
It’s just both tragic and a remarkable character study and i eat instances of it up every time.
NGL THE DELETED DIALOGUE IN DONNIE VS WITCHTOWN IS LIKE. SO RELEVANT AS AN INSPIRATION FOR CANARY CONTINUITY. i now passively canonize it; april's reveal and leo's consecutive panic attack makes a ton more sense if donnie specifically more clearly revealed that to her. leo freaked out so badly because it was the moment it processed to him how deep this all went, and how this stems from preexisting baggage that was right in front of him, and he didn't notice it. he brushed it off. he mocked him to his face even before all of this happened without understanding the depths of donnie's pain and insecurity. he'll never be able to know how personally donnie took it, because they joked around so much and leo used to think it meant nothing.
and thank you for all the good words on the way i characterize him!!! i am absolutely in love with donnie ninja turtle and all his little nuances..... i absolutely go insane for characters who see themselves as tools more than people. and i DONT think donnie even sees himself that way normally, he is very loud with his own identity and interests, but i think it's a slippery slope that he could easily find himself going down if something like this were to happen. he shapes himself around the praise he'll receive and he's utterly ravenous for it, to the point where he'll pretty much fall over himself to appeal to even strangers (very dog coded of you sir)
#ask#canary continuity#the beginning of smart lair is very silly and i love it but oh my god in cc they are never doing anything like that again NEVER#^^^ honestly i choose to believe donnie started making shelldon prioritize him BECAUSE of that. he's catty asf and its about the MESSAGE!!!#i can connect everything to donnie's deeply ridden insecurity if you leave me alone too long dont test me

*also kicking my feet twirling the phone cord* it's just so delish u kno. He goes after the others and she thinks she just barely keeps getting away until at some point he corners her, but instead of killing her like the others he instead binds her wrists and ankles and hauls her off to a closet or storage room or something to keep her out of harm's way while he takes care of the others. And he loves when she kicks and bites and fights back, he loves how spirited she is. And he knows she's gonna try to escape wherever he's trapping her and he's kinda looking forward to that tbh he loves to see her mind at work. But for now he's gotta take care of the others before he can come back and see what his little prize has cooked up as an escape attempt like it's their version of flirting. And she doesn't understand why he's not killing her, why he's not hurting her, why he's singling her out. But by the time things click it's too late!!! It's an ALLEGORY I'M NORMAL
Anon you get me...
Just the whole idea that all of this is nothing more than a game of flirting to the killer, leaving the final girl damned if she does and damned if she doesn't. No matter how she fights back, he'll always see it as her being a tease, like she's practically begging to entice him for round. He'll never get tired of it, unlike her who may eventually concede to being the prize he's already won several times over, in which case he still gets exactly what he wanted: her.
In his mind, he's leaving her gifts (bloody entrails), he's fighting off suitors (murdering anyone near her), sneaking off with her like a giddy teenager (cornering her away from her friends) -- come on, it's plain as day, there's no way they aren't courting! She's merely playing hard to get, and that's why he loves her, as shown by how he's willing to go to the ends of the earth to find her. Can't see she how utterly devoted he is to her? There's no one else worth his time and attention. He could so easily be at her beck and call, putty in her beautiful hands, a rabid guard dog that can only be leashed by her.
He's patient. She'll come around eventually. Until then, they can have all the fun they want running circles around each other.

Hey hey tomb is there anything more about tobin?? We need more of him plss he is so cooll we love him so much pls spill we're listening:3
*puppy eyes*
UHHHH I DUNNO WHAT TO SAY SPECIFICALLY... Heres a bunch of random facts though... If you want me to expand on anything specifically lmk (None of these are particularly relevant to the plot of Creepedverse, if you wanna know more about that feel free to leave an ask on the account @creepedverse )
-He has a little sister named Emily. Shes 8 years younger than Tobin. The last time he saw her was before he killed his father. He was 17, she was 9.
-His mother dealt with severe mental health issues all his life, and his father was heavy into drugs and alcohol. Tobin was really the only one who raised Emily. He would steal chocolate bars from the store to give her, cook her supper, get her ready for school, etc
-Tobin knows how to braid hair. He learned one night after his mom yelled at Emily when she asked her to braid her hair. He took his crying sister into his room and spent an hour trying to figure it out for her
-He used to run away all the time, or would get kicked out, but always ended up back home. Either he calmed down, his mother calmed down, or the cops dragged him back without asking why he ran away in the first place
-Tobin is very interested in guns. Something he picked up from his father. He likes older models the most
-His favourite music artists are Green Day, The Offspring, Three Days Grace, Alice In Chains, Aerosmith, Eminem, and NWA
-Despite being insensitive and callous, he's very loyal and very protective of the people he likes. But he's insanely picky on who he deems worth his time and energy
-Tobin is awful with emotions. He doesn't like when people vent to him, he never knows what to say, and he doesn't really care about their problems
-Being in and out of school his whole life, Tobin is very set back on his education. He barely even knew how to read until Tali taught him. She was his tutor in high school, which caused a lot of arguments between the two hotheads
-He's good with his hands. He steals bikes and takes them apart for scraps. He's also very into welding and later in life, he'd spend his time in chop shops fixing up or taking apart busted cars
-Tobin is very unserious and goofy. 99% of the shit he does is because he thinks its funny or entertaining. He has a mindset of "nothing matters", to a fault. He finds it very difficult to understand why others might take certain things seriously, or be hurt by things
-He's a troublemaker from birth. Always starting fights, running his mouth, getting his shit rocked. Tobin is not one to hold his tongue for the sake of peace. If someone has a problem with him, thats their issue, not his
-Before he killed his dad, Tobin was pretty well known by the local cops (small town). They'd sometimes drive past and ask if he was staying out of trouble. Nobody was really surprised when they heard about what he did
-He has untreated bipolar disorder (not borderline.) and goes fucking insane for a week or two every so often. Tali can always tell when he's heading for an episode before he can, and is always there to help him out
-He got the scar on his mouth from being attacked by a dog when he was 8
-He doesn't have a middle name
-Tobin carries his backpack with him everywhere. It holds his entire life (Wallet, switchblade, cigarettes, candy bars)
-He skates (board) and has busted his ass more times than he can count
-Freedom is the most important thing to him. The only thing in the entire world that he'd ever even consider giving up his freedom for is Tali. Anything for her
-His love language is acts of service. Heavily. He wont buy people gifts or say nice things to them or spend time with them, but if they need help with something, he's there, he'll do it in a heartbeat, whatever they need
-He's a big hypeman and likes encouraging people. On his good days, he's funny, outgoing, and optimistic
-On his bad days, he's a piece of shit who'll blow up on anyone, do anything he can to cause problems, put others down. He'll lash out, hit where it hurts. Horribly self destructive
-Tobins favourite colours are orange, blue, green, in that order
-He was really into dinosaurs as a kid. His favourite dinosaur is the bruhathkayosaurus
-He's very open-minded, like this guy does NOT care at all about what someone else is doing. He was raised to always mind his own business, let people do their thing, and he kept that mindset growing up. To a fault. He doesn't care if someone is a killer, sexist, gay, a furry, conservative, a cannibal, whatever. He has his own views, and does not care enough to be bothered by other peoples
-Despite being very morally skewed and being a chronic idgafer, Tobin is fiercely against harming, and people who harm, children and women (Physically. He doesn't care about emotional). He grew up defending his little sister and sometimes his mother from his father. He thinks people who prey on those weaker than them are pussies, and always stands up for the smaller guy
-Due to this, Tobin tends to pick fights with people who are bigger than him, or people who he views as a threat. Authority, people who act tough, disrespect him, etc. He'll pistol whip a guy twice his size he does NOT have any regards for his own limits or safety
-He was close with his grandma growing up. He's a grandmas boy. She never really knew all the things he was up to (drugs, selling, fights), but she's been around for a long time so she always had a feeling. One of the things he thinks about from time to time is how he never got to say goodbye to her before he ditched town
-Tobin had a few close encounters with death. Almost getting his brains blown out, accidentally overdosing, nearly drowning. The feeling right before you're about to die is something he's well acquainted with
-He's big into anarchy and knows how to make various bombs. Never gets around to it though. He doesn't trust his knowledge in chemistry enough to not blow himself up
-He does boxing when he needs to blow off some steam

“ I don't understand... ” – Yasmeen to Malachai
❛Hmm?❜
Malachai was barely listening to Yasmeen. He was focused on the board of checkers in front of him. He moved a pawn before finally looking at the young lady, who seemed more than puzzled. The prince frowned when he noticed that the girl's gaze was on the bed behind them. He blushed a little before looking back at the game, toying with his ring nervously.
The man should have known that Yasmeen would be confused, and would ask questions. Maybe he should have explained sooner why he suddenly asked for her to come into his room after dinner. Indeed, it was quite unusual; the both of them barely talked, only about the weather or Calypso, but never deep conversations, and never for more than a few minutes. They weren't friends per se, just acquaintance. So he could understand that when he suddenly asked for her to join him in his room after dinner, she was apprehensive, even more, knowing what kind of man were usually asking for her after dinner. But it was to avoid that, that Malachai's ask her to come.
He did not know why, but the thought of the young woman being claimed by yet another man in front of him was something that annoyed him. It annoyed him for a while now, but he typically kept quiet. But he did not know what made him act so impulsively tonight, by asking her so abruptly to come with him. Maybe it was the wine, –that he was keeping drinking since she arrived, he proposed some to her, but she politely refused– maybe the wine gave him enough courage to ask her. He recalled her look, a mixed of incredulity and fear when he asked her to come, and now he thought he should have cleared things up.
He thought she would understand, when he asked if she knew how to play checkers, because he wanted to play a game, but from wary she became puzzled. The merman could tell by her expression that she wasn't used to play with lords, and she was just waiting for the moment he'll ask her to lay in bed, like all the others did. But the moment did not come. It was their third party, and yet he seemed more interesting in playing than her body. Perhaps she was tired of waiting the moment she was fearing, and maybe she wanted to have the situation under control for once, but in any case, Yasmeen stood up, bringing Malachai's attention back to her, and she slowly started to undress herself. To that, the young man stood up too and turned around, which puzzled the girl even more.
❛Wow, what are you doing?❜ He stuttered, still toying with his ring.
❛I thought... You asked for me, your Highness.❜
❛I did, but not for sex.❜
❛... Why did you ask me to come, then?❜ She finally asked. Her voice was firm, making him understand that she wanted an answer now, that she was tired of all of this.
❛I...❜ Malachai's started, before turning around when he was sure she was still wearing her dress. ❛I just... I didn't like Rys' expression when he was looking at you.❜ He admitted, and he could tell she wasn't expected such answer. ❛I thought you'd like to have a quiet evening. Maybe I should have explain it sooner.❜
❛I would have like the explaination, yes.❜
❛I'm sorry... Next time, I'll ask Calypso to keep you with her instead.❜
❛Keep me with her?❜ Yasmeen repeated, which made Malachai nod. ❛With all due respect, your Highness, I am not a dog.❜
Malachai didn't know he could blush that much. His mouth open, he wanted to say something, but anything able to smooth the situation came to his mind. He was sure that if he wasn't a prince, she would have slapped him. Looking at the ground, as if he was just getting scolded, the prince finally bowed in front of Yasmeen, a way to apologize to her, which surprised her. Yasmeen too, was probably expected something else.
❛You're right, my apology, my lady.❜
❛I'm not a lady.❜
❛Whatever I say, you'll find something to contradict me, won't you?❜ He asked with amusement. She said nothing, but he was sure he succeeded to make her smile, or at least he'd like to believe it, and this thought only made him smile and more confident. ❛What I wanted to say is that I know the Faes' customs, and I don't mind asking for you so you stay safe.❜
❛But why? You barely know me. We're strangers, and I am a changeling, why would you care...Your Highness?❜
Once again, he opened his mouth, but he was unable to answer. It seemed as if Yasmeen had this gift to ask the right questions, the questions that made him doubt of his thinking. He smiled at that, and even chuckled a little. After a moment, he sat down, and made her understand to do the same, which she did. He drank more wine, to give him some courage, proposed some to her but once again, she refused.
❛Is being right one of your habits?❜ He asked with amusement, before struggling. ❛You're my sister's maid. She likes you a lot, and I know she will be sad if something happens to you. That's enough for me to want you safe. And... you're nice to be around.❜
This time it was Yasmeen who was speechless. She was examining the young prince in front of her, trying to see if he was lying or not. She knew, by now, that men's speciality were lies, always, and she was cleverer than letting herself sway by some well-chosen words. At any moment, Malachai could chance his speech and decided that he wanted her in his bed, and if that happened, she was powerless. But right now, the man's attention was on the game in front of them, and nothing else. As it was her turn to play, she moved her pawn, decided by that, that she'll trust him, at least for the time being.
❛You'll take the bed, I'll take the couch. Is that alright with you?❜ Malachai demanded without looking at her.
❛Thank you.❜ She said after a while, and all Malachai did was raising his head to smile at her.

two dogs
He closes his eyes and slowly gathers his body. he can count his ribs from the pain without touching them. lying on side makes breathing a little easier. sometimes he saw wounded or sick stray dog huddled in itself and howling. but here is only his interrupted and irregular breaths that break the silence. howling is useless here. if the dogs understood what he said, he'd tell them that no one will help you with this, you'll only make others laugh. anyway, they called him a dog ,too. could this be the end of his life? he told the foreman to inform Yeon he'll back after 15 days, but is it really only 15 days? anything could happen. his body could have rotted in this prison before a week had passed. what is Yeon doing now? what if he dies? all the nights when he sat next her until she woke up, passes through his mind. repetitive thoughts consume him always and he has no choice but to resist. maybe one day he would get tired and stop trying, but for now his destiny is to survive. the river that killed his brother didn't swallow him. maybe he was destined to drown in another river of this life. the sound of feet dragging on the ground pulls him out of his thoughts. it doesn't take much light to recognize him. it's Hwi. he doesn't expect to meet him here, the person who sent Seon-ho here. +I told him that he can't control you. but he said that any dog can be restrained. Hwi looks at him without saying anything, indifferent. +the bruises on your face got better. if there's more light, Seon-ho could definitely tell that Hwi doesn't feel good about this situation. he knew him enough, even with all that had happened, better than anyone else. +how many more lives do you think you have? -what about you? are you scared? Seon-ho laughed, hollowly. he barely moves his body and sits down. -at least we're similar in one thing. +right , two dogs that barking for others. Hwi doesn't laugh, only his serious face became more serious. +have you seen Yeon today? -she's fine. Seon-ho doesn't want to notice Hwi's anger and short hesitation when he said those words. Yeon must have been fine that Hwi could easily stand here. +how about Bang-won? -I was able to win his trust. +sorry, that I can't run because of happiness, here is too small for running. Hwi's eyes subtly subjugates him. +why did you come here?did you come to visit me in that situation? Hwi doesn't say anything. +just go. -I wanted to see if you're still alive or not, I don't trust Namjeon for not hurting Yeon. +don't worry, you're still on deal with him, this process continues without me too. -he can't fight Bang-won alone. at least as you said, he needs you as a dog. +is that so? I thought he wouldn't sleep all night because of worry about his son. Seon-ho understands what Hwi said and he was right. Namjeon needs him right now. but if supporting Seon-ho would hurt his position, he'd never risk to save Seon-ho. +anyway, don't get your hopes up too much. Seon-ho said more quietly than the rest of his words, barely a whisper. +for now, at least for Yeon's safety, don't do anything against his orders more. Hwi nods. -hold your breath when you're being tortured, that way you can endure it better. +I know how to bear the pain. Hwi nodded in approval and once again he carefully looked Seon-ho. like someone who wants to record the last image of someone in his mind. after he left, Seon-ho lays down again.
#my country the new age#my country: the new age#mctna#nam seon ho#seo hwi#fanfic#I thought when Seon-ho was being tortured in prison why didn't Hwi come to see him even once secretly or from a distance?#I know that the situation wasn't really such that they expected from each other but...#calling Seon-ho or Hwi dogs always bother me#this world is too unfair#isn't?
