Something cute:
Jee gives Uncle Tommy a friendship bracelet she's made, and Tommy's still wearing it a few days later when Buck fetches him from work (it's the first Buck heard about it).
Bonus if Tommy mentions that the guys at work have been trying to give him grief about it but Tommy doesn't give a damn, it's a present from his niece! đ€Łâ€ïž
Sorry for taking so long to get to this. This was a super cute one to do đ
As always you can send me a bucktommy or saltommy prompt to my ask. Smut, fluff or whimp or a mix. Whatever you want.
đ©¶
********
âSorry Maddie I have to leave for my shift in like 30 mins.â Buck said
âWhatâs up?â Tommy asked.
âMaddie needs to run a couple of errands for an hour but Jees daycare is closed so she needs a sitter.â
Tommy removed the phone from Bucks hand without a word.
âHey Maddie.â
âTommy, hi! How are you?â
âIâm good. Listen, my shift doesnât start for another 4 hours if you need someone look after Jee for an hour.â
âOh my god, really? Are you sure?â
âOf course. I mean, if youâre okay with that?â He asked just to be sure. He loved spending time with Maddie and Jee but he hadnât done so before without Evan being there.
âOh please. If you handle my brother you can handle a four year old.â
âAinât that the truth.â He said smirking at Buck.
âWhat?â He mouthed in response. Tommy simply winked at him. Buck would be mad if it wasnât so fucking hot when he did that.
âUh, I can be there in about 40 minutes?â
âTommy youâre my hero!â
âIâll see you soon.
âBye! Thank you again!â
âDid you just offer to babysit Jee?â Buck asked.
âYeah, why?â
âI.. youâre just really amazing, you know that?â Buck said with a soft smile.
âItâs nothing, Evan. Youâre my family, which makes her, them, my family too. Of course Iâd help.â He kissed Bucks temple and got up to finish packing his bag.
Family. Heâd said it so nonchalantly. They hadnât said anything as serious between each other yet, although Buck had been dancing around the âLâ word for weeks like a world class ballet dancer; desperate to say it yet utterly terrified of saying it.
It was going to be even trickier to not let it slip out when Tommy says such sweet shit like calling his family his family.
They finished packing their stuff and separated for the following 48 hours thanks to their shifts for once actually lining up for a full week - 48 on, then 72 hours off. Together.
Tommy arrived at Maddieâs to a very excited Jee-yun grabbing his hand and dragging him over to the coffee table to show him what she was doing.
âIâm sorry sheâs in a very important friendship bracelet making phase right now.â Maddie told him.
âWell thatâs just perfect because I love friendship bracelets!â He said in an exaggerated way for Jees benefit.
âYou do?!â Jee asked
âOf course!â
Maddie stopped by the door for a moment just watching the way Tommy was with her. Every time heâd been over with her brother he always made time to indulge whatever she wanted his attention for. A little picture in her head of her brothers future flew by and she smiled at the thought.
âYou okay?â Tommy asked pulling her back to reality.
âUh, yeah. I should be no more than an hour. You have mine and howies numbers and everyone elseâs are on the fridge just in case. Bye baby! Be good for Tommy!â
âSo.. what bracelet are we making?â He asked Jee.
âFor you!â
âFor me?â She nodded. âOkay. How about you pick the colours and tell me what it should say and Iâll thread it together. Sound good?â
âYeah!â
*
âNow that is the best friendship bracelet I have ever seen! Donât you think?â Tommy held his wrist up to Jee to inspect their work.
âAnd the prettiest!â
âI agree! Good job.â He held out his hand for a high five which of course she gave him.
***
2 days later Buck was picking up Tommy from work and though exhausted from his own gruelling shift he was practically vibrating at the prospect of 72 uninterrupted hours with his lo- boyfriend.
âHey babe.â He greeted Tommy getting in his car.
âHey baby.â Tommy leaned over and pressed a quick kiss on the corner of Bucks mouth. âGood shift?â
âExhausting. Please tell me you feel like take out? I donât have the energy to cook?â
âPizza?â
âThis is why I-â he stopped himself. Again. â-why were, uh, perfect for each other. You read my mind.â
45 minutes later theyâd arrived at Bucks apartment and were getting undressed to shower. Something caught bucks eye as Tommy removed his shirt and undershirt in one pull.
âHold up.â He lightly grabbed Tommys wrist, inspecting the glittery pink and white letter beads threaded around the elastic. âWhatâs this?â
âOh.â Tommy smiled fondly. âJee wanted to make friendship bracelets when I baby sat her the other day. I promised her I wouldnât take it off. The guys at the station have been riding my ass about for the last 2 days.â He laughed.
Bucks finger tip glided across the letters âUncle Tommy.â He read out loud and looked at him.
âYeah.â He laughed âShe told me what she wanted on it.â
Buck just looked at him with the softest eyes.
âWhat?â
âJust so I understand correctly: you offered to babysit my 4 year old niece, you willingly made friendship bracelets with her, including her calling you uncle Tommy, promised you wouldnât take it off, then kept that promise when your colleagues make fun of you even though she wouldnât know if youâd taken it off?â
âI would know, Evan, and I promised i wouldnât.â
Buck threw his arms around Tommys neck and planted a firm few kisses onto Tommys lips.
âHmm. What was that for?â He smiled.
âBecause I love you.â
Tommy face morphed into a bigger smile. âI love you too.â He kissed Buck back for a few seconds before pulling away. âIâd love you more if you order the damn pizza - Iâm starving!â

Hey lovely, I saw that youâre taking requests for Sammy Fender now and omg Iâm so excited!! đ„° Could you please do 72. âYou look like you could do with a hugâ. And itâs Sam that needs the hug and itâs all sweet and cuddly. I just thought of that tall, strong, beautiful man wrapping his arms around you and burying his face into your neck because he needs comfort and you just hold him đ„șđ„°đ thank yoouuu
A/n heyy!! Thank you so much for your request, this is my first piece for Sam so I hope you enjoy!! Not sure how I feel about it, I struggled to make it flow, but anyway ENJOY!!â€ïžâđ„
Ditto
Sam was an absolute fighter when it came to pushing on, it was something you admired about him. His ability to overcome what seemed like anything and everything the world threw at him was something you envied. But perhaps it was your inability to push on the same way Sam did that allowed you to see when his efforts to fight sleep in order to write music, travel between shows through the night and skip meals to fit in extra meetings was becoming more and more detrimental.
Youâd tried to bring it up to him, but heâd brushed you off, not meaning any harm, just like you hadnât, but heâd convinced you he was fine, that the sleepless nights were a result of last minute inspiration, but you couldnât help but worry when you saw the bags under his eyes grow darker every day. The light that lived in his eyes didnât shine as bright anymore, the light that made you fall in love his him at first sight.
Your worries weâre proven right one night when he finally broke down, he screamed and shouted, not at you, of course, but at the world. He thought he was angry, thatâs until the tears came. It was heartbreaking to see, but a part of you felt relieved that Sam was finally starting to see things the same way you did. You held him all night as sobs wracked his body. You listened as his mind overflowed, his thoughts spilling from his lips, only now being allowed to form into words after running wild in the confines of his mind for so long. Eventually, he managed to get some sleep, the patterns you drew along his skin lulling him into a much needed rest.
-
The next morning, you woke up before Sam, still tightly held in each otherâs arms. Your eyes skimmed his features as a steady stream of sunlight hit the curve of his sunken cheekbones. The bags were still ingrained under his eyes, his skin the palest youâd ever seen, but after all, this was probably the most sleep heâd gotten in months.
Not wanting to disturb him, you snuck out from under the duvet, the crisp morning air cooling your skin as you crept towards the door, taking one last glance at Sam,
âWhat am I going to do with him?â You thought to yourself.
-
Half an hour or so later, you stood leant against the kitchen counter with a cup of tea in your hand as you heard footsteps making their way downstairs.
You met eyes with Sam in the open doorway of the kitchen, still dressed in the same joggers and hoodie from the day before, a small, yet weary smile pulling at the corner of his lips.
âYou look like you need a hugâ
âI doâ he replied, matter of factly,
Without a second thought, your feet carried you swiftly to where he stood, you arms instantaneously coming to rest around his waist. He followed suit, tangling himself in your arms, his 6 foot figure towering over you, yet this time, it was you making him feel safe, your warmth offering him all the security you had to give as you swayed gently together.
âIâm gonna cancel my next few showsâ His words were faint, and almost rushed, as if if he didnât say it now, he never would.
You canât lie, it shocked you. Not that you thought it was a bad idea, you thought it was exactly what he needed, actually.
âY-yeah?â You stuttered, a little lost for words, pulling back slightly, trying the read the look in his eyes,
âYeahâ he spoke through a deep sigh,
âI think itâll do you good, Sammy, Iâm really proud of youâ and you really were, although you were proud of him when he was up on stage, thousands of people singing his songs; in that moment, you realized that nothing in the world would make you prouder than you were of him right now.
You brought your hand to cup his face when tears began to gather along his waterline, âIâm really proud of youâ you emphasized as your thumb stroked back and forth against his second day stubble,
âGod, I love youâ he spoke as the tears began to spill over,
âYour the only thing keeping me sane, y/nâ
âDittoâ

Hi! I would like a request about Derek from teen wolf, please. The reader is trying to approach him, taking care of him "because Derek is too busy taking care of the others", BUT IT'S BEING SO HARD because of all of his past. Derek and the reader argue one night because of the overprotective nature of the reader about him, and when she tries to leave the loft, completely upset with Derek, he tries to fix things between them. Could you do this with a lot of angst and, then, tons of fluff? Thanks!
Ignored
Pairing: Derek Hale x Reader
Warnings: Angst bbyyyy, and some fluffy goodness at the end, not checked over (so probably a crap ton of spelling errors)
A/N: hello hope you enjoy, sorry it took forever! Iâm so busy with work, college and personal issues that writing has been put on the back-burner.
When the name Derek Hale was mentioned- one immediately thought of the broody, salty, sarcastic young man who lived by himself after the tragic Hale house fire.
Nobody would ever associate the name Derek Hale and caring. It just wasnât in his nature. Because under no circumstances could Derek be remotely kind, caring or soft in any way possible.
Thatâs what people thought of Derek. But not you- or the majority of the pack for that matter.
Yes, you saw where others came from with their ideas and judgement (Derekâs lack of colour in his wardrobe obviously didnât help either).
But to you when you heard the name Derek Hale, you immediately thought of the kind hearted man who would give up anything for the safety of his friends and family (as much as he claimed otherwise).
You knew him differently, you knew him like the back of your hand. You knew that his favourite food was Spagetti Carbonara without the mushrooms, that he didnât like Coca Cola, that he secretly loved watching trashy tv shows like keeping up with the kardashians, and most importantly that he was running himself ragged.
He had bitten off more than he could chew when it came to helping everyone out. He was the one giving lifts and helping with homework and hosting pack nights, and handling Isaacâs nightmares, all of this happening at the same time as some supposed lizard creature being on the loose.
You had been ignored by Derek Hale for approximately 72 hours. Now this wouldnât be bad if it werenât for two things.
1. He wasnât aware that he was actively ignoring you.
2. The idiot wasnât your husband of 2 years.
Over 68 hours ago you hadnât minded, you had even brushed the silence and distance off- knowing that Derek liked to have a little time to himself.
But when it hit the 5 hour mark of the 4th day, frustration and disappointment had begun to set in.
There was one more thing that made the whole situation worse. He was blatantly ignoring you- and only you.
It hurt. You could admit that to yourself easily without any qualms at all. It hurt.
Whether that was to do with the whole âmateâ side of things you didnât know- all that you did know was that Derek Hale was drowning and he wasnât going to swim until everyone else was okay.
-
Thud, thud, thud, creaak
âDer please sit downâ
âI canât. I gotta figure this shit out before the school finishes for the day.â Derek grunted from his spot in the middle of the room. His head firmly stuck in the thick, dusty book that he had been pouring through for the majority of the afternoon.
âDer please, take a break.â You pleaded with him, begging him to just stop for a second and relax.
âI canât,â Derek murmured again, before he pivoted in his heel and walked away up the staircase.
His heavy footfalls retreated upstairs, the musty book still clutched in his grasp.
Swallowing the lump in your throat, you willed the tears in your eyes to stay put and to not roll down your cheeks in fat drops.
Why couldnât you be enough for him?
-
The next plea came around 2 hours later, when you brought a bowl of homemade pasta and garlic bread up to Derek. Hoping that just maybe it would strike up a conversation, that maybe he would utter more than two short sentences to you.
âBabe- I made you lunch.â You elbowed your way into the room, balancing the bowl and plate in your hands.
âJust leave it on the desk.â He motioned to an empty slot on the overcrowded surface.
âI just thought that maybe we could have lunch together, have some time with each-other.â
âY/N/Nâs I would- but I have so much to do. Stiles and Scott are already on my ass about the damn lizard freak in town.â
âDer, you need to take a break.â You placed your hands on his shoulders. Instead of feeling them relax you could feel his muscles tense up.
Shrugging your hands off, he pushed the fresh plate of food away, âI canât.â He spoke simply.
âBut-â you tried to object in protest, trying to plead with the broad shouldered man in front of you- hoping that maybe, just maybe he would come to his senses.
He did not.
âI said no Y/N.â Derek ground out, âIâm busy. Please for the love of God stop bothering me.â
The words stung you, causing you to stumble back in shock. Derek had a hard exterior, everybody knew that. But he had never spoken like that to you.
He had promised on your wedding day that he would always be kind, that he would be your biggest supporter and largest source of love.
But all those words felt like lies now. You felt alone, like an empty shell of yourself. Why couldnât you just be enough?
-
Hours flew by, the watch on Derekâs wrist occasionally beeping to signify the new hour. If he were being honest- he had lost track of what the time was.
The only signifier was that Stiles, Scott and the others were in his presence- meaning it was at least 4pm
And judging by the sky outside of his office window, it was late evening, as the sky itself had melted from cool blues into a fantastic array of oranges and purples.
But besides the low chatters and bickering coming from Isaac and Stiles, the house felt almost too quiet.
There was no tv hum coming from the living room, no occasional flush or running of water from the restroom, no sizzle from food coming on the oventop, no sound of a page in a book turning. Nothing. Just silence.
âHey Derek,â He looked up to see Scott staring at him, âWhereâs Y/N?â
âWell-â
âYeah, I havenât seen her yet today.â Isaac chimed in.
âIâm not actually too sure.â
Derek was met with a sea of blank stares.
âIâm sorry- thereâs a kanima out there roaming Beacon Hills, the very same kanima that is killing more people by the day. And you donât know where your wife is?â Stiles asked incredulously, âAre you kidding me.â
âWell Iâve been so caught up on this research that I havenât been spending as much time with her.â Derek attempted to defend himself.
âDerek, please tell me that you havenât been ignoring your wife.â
Everybody had there eyes on him again.
âWell-â
There was an uproar of protests, all of which were yelling at Derek for ignoring and deserting his wife.
âYou better find her Derek, before something happens and you regret it for the rest of your life.â
-
You really didnât know how long you had been out here for. All you knew was that the night was closing in and the chill was setting in your bones.
But you didnât want to go back to the loft, you honestly didnât think you could handle seeing Derek after his outburst earlier.
The cold, damp ground soaked into your body- sucking all the warmth out of your body at a creeping pace.
The spot you sat in, hadnât changed much since your first date with Derek. It was still isolated and it gave off the best views in Beacon Hills. Nobody knew about it but you and Derek.
Sighing deeply, you looked out over the viewing point- watching the tiny specks of light flicker in the distance. Every single light showed a different life that was being lived, each one with their own struggles. Beacon Hills was something else to say the least.
âI knew I could find you here.â A familiar voice broke your train of thought.
You kept silent, staring straight ahead, willing that your bottom lip wouldnât start trembling and the flood gate wouldnât open in your eyes.
âLook Iâm sorry.â
You sniffed, still unable to look your husband in the eyes, âAre you though?â You briefly shut your eyes to stop any tears from breaking through, âor are you just saying that to get on my good side.â
You could feel Derekâs presence settle down besides your own. His breath creating little puffs of mist under the dark sky.
âI didnât realise you were trying to help me, until it was too late and youâd left the apartmentâ He muttered, âItâs my fault, I shouldâve taken your advice, I shouldâve listened to you.â
You listened intently, knowing his words were sincere and heartfelt, âWhy didnât you listen to me then Der?â You responded bitterly.
âBecause accepting help means showing weakness, and showing weakness is something I havenât done since before the fire.â Derekâs voice was small now, âBefore I met you, accepting help was off the table- I was a lone wolf, with no pack or family. And now Iâve found you and Iâm desperate to not lose that again, I canât lose you to this new threat in town- I canât be alone again.â
Silence hung heavy in the air as your husbandâs words set in. It made sense to you; why he was studying non-stop, why he had barely slept or ate.
It was apparent that while he was trying to protect his loved ones, he was also pushing them away in the process. That needed to change.
âYou wonât be alone Der,â You lay your head down on his shoulder, âI promise that much- itâs you and me forever.â
âThrough every supernatural event that happens in this town?â
You giggled softly, âYes, and every single thing in between.â

112. "I wish we could turn back time."
113. "I lost the game." "What do you mean? Hero is dead." "Precisely."
114. "Make a wish." "That you live."
115. "Villain has been acting exceptional! Today we granted them a break from the machine. Go ahead Hero and take him for some ice cream."
116. (Sleepy murmurs) "Don't go. I neeeed you." "Yeah yeah I know Villain."
117. "Villain was the one who hurt me, not Hero."

138. "The book, the sword... all pieces of the puzzle huh." "No, darling, all pieces of my game."
139. "Their death is my fault! Not your's, but mine, so quit trying to make me feel better."
140. "Once upon a time-" "Oh please, not another fairytale."
141. "If only it was that easy."
142. "We are stuck in a maze, how can you be so joyful?"
143. "Celebrate Hero, eat your cake, party into the night... but just know, I will be back."
144. "Call 911!" "Why?" "I stubbed my toe."
145. "Your jawline looks like it was gauzed over in lard." "It looks better than your hay for hair."
146. "You're my best friend." "Villain? Are you on drugs?"
147. "Lay him there and leave him. Let the rats dine on him."
148. "The point of the cow suit?" "Oh, uh, I was at a Halloween parade. You know, for children."
149. "I-i never wanted to hurt you." "I know, I wanted you to, so I allowed it."
150. "Favorite movie?" "Your death." "Ooo never heard of it, let's watch it." "*groans* Oh my gosh, you are stupid."

You only get what you grieve [Stolitz Week Day 5 Hurt/Comfort]
Ao3 Link
Event Info Link
Stolas has been drifting in and out of consciousness in his tight restraints for hours by the time Blitz, Millie, Moxxie and Loona break down the door to his holding cell. Itâs a big, empty room, all metal and a single cupboard. Stolas is tied to a chair, has been for days, no food, no water in his reach. To get it, he would depend on Stellaâs mercy and she has shown him none.
It takes him a moment to force his eyes open, and attempt to feel his own limbs when they all pour into the room. He canât, the ropes around his body have cut off all sensation in them. He can faintly remember them hurting when he was first put in them, but all the pain has long been replaced by unbearable numbness.
Blitz rushes towards him to hold his face between his hands. âMillie! Give me your knife!â he yells and cuts Stolas free the moment he receives the knife.
Stolasâ arms fall to his sides uselessly. âBlitzy?â he says weakly, his voice barely more than a rasp.
âSir, I think heâs dehydrated,â Moxxie remarks.
âThen get some water, Moxx!â Blitz yells, making Moxxie scurry into the back of the room, stands in front of Stolas again and takes his face back between his hands. âStolas? Hey, itâs⊠Itâs okay, weâre here now, youâll be okay.â
âStella?â Stolas asks, itâs all he can get out.
âShe⊠Sheâs dead. We⊠Took care of that. It was⊠I was⊠Sorry, there was no other way.â
Stolas doesnât say anything, but is overcome with a hefty cough.
Moxxie comes running back with a large bottle of water. Blitz yanks it from his hands and holds it carefully to Stolasâ beak. âSlowly,â he says softly, perhaps more softly than Stolas has ever heard him speak.
He drinks, trying to slow himself down, but he hasnât had a drop of liquid in three days and his body is aching for it with every fiber. His arms start to itch again, so thatâs a good sign as well at least. He stops drinking for a moment to whisper âThank you.â
âDonât mention it, I wouldnât just let you die in this hole.â Thereâs a rumbling above them. Blitz looks up in obvious concern. âCan you get up?â
âI donât know, I barely feel my limbs.â
The steps above them grow faster. âLoona, youâre strong, can you throw him over your shoulder when we get in a hurry?â
She shrugs. âI guess. Either way, we should probably get running.â
âI thoughtâŠ?â
âYeah, we got rid of Stella, but unfortunately Striker still has a bit more of a personal problem with us,â Millie explains while she gestures for Blitz to give her her knife back.
As if on cue, Striker appears in the doorframe, already bleeding from his shoulder, but his eyes hungry for a fight. âYou killed my source of income, you destroyed my job and youâre even trying to save this pompous asshole?â
âIâd rather have a pompous asshole than a deranged one!â
âHand him out to me, Iâm sure there are enough overlords and royals in Hell who would be more than willing to pay a good bounty for him. And I would even be generous and give you all 10%. As a peace offer.â
âFuck you and your peace,â Blitz says, draws his gun and takes a single shot.
The bang echoes throughout the small room and leaves Stolasâ ears ringing. A stinging pain takes over that makes it hard for him to look up and focus. But when he manages to lift his head again, he sees Striker on the ground, struggling to hold onto this bleeding leg.
âLetâs get out of here,â Blitz sighs and motions for everyone to follow him as he jumps over Striker and leaves him behind on the ground.
âSir?â Moxxie says as though to raise an objection.
âShut it, Moxx. Loona, take Stolas. Now.â Blitz doesnât even look back at them.
Loona throws Stolas over her shoulder with surprising ease and carries him outside.
They make their way through the abandoned warehouse building in uneasy silence, only the sound of steps on metal between them.
When they make it outside, the light almost burns Stolasâ eyes. âLetâs go to the office,â Blitz offers.
âBut ViaâŠâ Stolas says weakly, still hanging over Loonaâs shoulder, suddenly overcome with fear for his precious baby.
âSheâs there, we got her out of the palace first thing before we went on our little rescue mission. Took one of your butlers, too, so someone can look after her.â
âOh thank the stars.â
âNo, thank me maybe, but you can save that for later.â Blitz fishes his phone out of his pocket and stuffs it back in, frustration all over his face. âMoxxie, would you call an ambulance?â
âWhat?â
âAn ambulance. Weee-oh, weee-oh. Takes people to the hospital, do you even have a brain up there?!â
âSir, I know what an ambulance is, but why?â
âWell, Striker is bleeding out in there, for one.â
âDonât you want him dead?â
Blitz laughs. âAre you insane? Heâs the only motherfucker in Hell to put up a real fight, do you really think I want to deprive myself of that fun?â
Moxxie sighs, shakes his head, but calls the ambulance without further discussion.
Loona sits Stolas down on the couch of their waiting room. Stolas thanks her and feels sleep gnawing at him more intensely than ever before.
It takes not even two seconds before Octavia storms in and throws her arms around him, âOh my God, Dad! Youâre safe!â
Stolas weakly lifts his arms, thankful to feel them again at all, and wraps them around her. âOf course, Via. I would never leave you alone.â
âI assume Mom didnât make it?â
Stolasâ looks around helplessly, unsure of how to respond.
âShe was on the way to fully execute your dad, so we didnât really have a choice,â Blitz says, as a matter of fact, but he doesnât seem particularly happy about it. âI⊠Iâm sorry.â
Octavia nods. A thousand emotions run through her big eyes in a matter of seconds. Grief, relief, anger. âI⊠Iâm glad youâre safe, Dad. I just⊠I need a moment.â She lets go of him and gets up. She leaves the room.
âVia-â Stolas tries to get up but his legs donât quite allow him to yet.
âLeave her,â Loona says, âHer mom might have been a bitch, but she was still her mom and itâs hard to lose that. Iâll check on her later.â
Stolas wants to protest, run after his daughter, but simply gives her a sad nod. Heâs not running anywhere yet.
âHow are you feeling?â Blitz asks as Millie enters the room with some hot chocolate for everyone.
Stolas can only shrug. âLike shit, mostly. I can sort of feel my body again, at least. But, I just⊠I canât form a clear thought, itâs all so⊠foggy. I⊠I canât even think of how I feel about Stella being dead. It doesnât feel real. Nothing feels real.â
Blitz nods and hands him one of the hot chocolate cups. âThatâs okay, take your time.â
âYouâre being extremely nice to me,â Stolas remarks.
âStolas, Iâm coming off a 72 hour rescue mission and Iâm mostly just glad youâre alive. I donât exactly have energy left over for snarky sarcasm, okay. Being as charmingly abrasive as I am takes work.â Blitz plops down on the couch next to him with a shaky laugh. Stolas leans against him.
âThank you. I donât think I would still be alive without you.â
âI would never let you die,â Blitz whispers.
Across the room Millie is gesturing at Moxxie and they excuse themselves from the room moments later.
âWhere are they going?â
Blitz sighs. âUgh, they want to give us the room. As if Iâm gonna drop a whole confession speech on you when you barely function.â
Stolas stops. âConfession?â
âOh crap.â Blitz blushes. âI⊠Donât worry about it today, okay? Worry about your daughter and the very awkward funeral youâre about to attend soon. Just⊠Just let me help you put yourself back together.â
Stolas stays silent.
âLetâs start by massaging your shoulders, those must be killing you. Sorry, maybe not the best time to make jokes about murder. Uhm, anyway.â Blitz puts his mug down, gets off the couch to walk behind Stolas. He starts carefully massaging Stolasâs shoulders.
It feels good, it takes some of the edge off, it brings warmth back into Stolasâ body. It makes everything feel a little less horrible. It makes everything horrible he has experienced in the past few days feel a little farther away. He doesnât want Blitz to ever stop touching him. He wants to feel these hands on him for as long as he lives. It should be some earth-shattering revelation, but it simply feels like the culmination of everything theyâve been through. âI love you,â he whispers, without thinking.
Blitz stops massaging him for a moment. âYou should call a therapist.â
âBecause I love you?â
âNo, because youâve just spent three days tied up in a storage unit without food or drink and your wife had to be murdered to get you out of there. You might need some help processing that.â
âWere you even listening to me?â Stolas asks, a little heartbroken.
âI was, Stolas. And I love you, too, you big idiot, but Iâm not going to talk about this with you now. Not before weâve slept for 24 hours. Not before things arenât somewhat okay with your daughter. I donât⊠Iâm not going to take advantage of you like that.â
âItâs not-â
âPlease, Stolas. Let me just⊠Be there for you for now. Platonically.â
Stolas swallows but then he nods and thatâs all thatâs said about it for the evening. Itâs enough, though, for now, that Blitz brings him hot chocolate and massages him and helps him talk to Via and helps him get up and walk again. And Blitz is right, he has other concerns for now. The horror of the moment is over, but thereâs so much work ahead.

Hey for the prompts thing, number 72? Thank you !!
are you drunk? | jily
âHavenât you had enough drinks already?â
In spite of the words that come out of his mouth, James is pouring Lily yet another shot of vodka. Not like it is his choice, of course. If she payed for it, it was literally his job to do so.
Still, she knows that, if he could, he wouldnât be giving her any more alcohol. But she knows he underestimates her tolerance and she knows sheâs still fine and still needs a few more shots before she starts to lose her senses. So she drinks all the transparent liquid in the cup all at once before she says anything.
âMy ex is having a baby, James,â she finally answers. âI can have as many drinks as Iâd like tonight.â
He grimaces as she slides the glass once again through the wooden surface between them, asking for more vodka. He pretends he doesnât see it and looks around, looking for some other costumer to attend, but his search is useless.
Itâs Tuesday night, and the bar is mostly empty. Thereâs just the usual drunk old men absorbed by their bottles of whiskey and a couple of groups of friends or coworkers talking calmly, their beers still half full because they donât really intend on getting drunk in a weekday.
âJames,â Lily calls him and shakes her glass in front of his face when he looks at her.
He sighs and unpleasantly pours her another shot of vodka. âCan you at least eat something?â
She rolls her eyes. âYou just want me to spend more money.â
âLily, please. Just order some fries, it wonât even cost a quarter of the money youâll be spending on alcohol.â
âFine. Get the fries.â
He walks away to the kitchen and itâs not long before Sirius hands him a fresh portion of french fries and says heâll clean everything up and leave in a few minutes. Putting the bowl in front of Lily, he grabs a couple of fries before leaning back and watching her eat. She doesnât say anything about him stealing her food. Instead, she just slides her glass again towards him and starts eating the fries.
Rolling his eyes, he grabs the recipient but leaves his hand there, fingertips touching hers as he stares at her.
âSo. Your ex is having a baby.â
Huffing, she glances at their hands and then looks back at him, slightly annoyed. âYes. And that gives me the right to drink as much as I want to.â
âTechnically what gives you this right is the law.â
âWhatever.â
âRight,â he finally pulls his hand away with the cup, but leaves it standing a few inches away from where it was and leans back, arms crossed. âSo, tell me about this ex of yours.â
âUgh. Donât pretend you donât know him, James, you were my ex before he was my boyfriend.â
He chuckles, but sustains his gaze. âRight. I was your high school sweetheart.â
Something about her eyes changes when the subject comes up, and she looks away. âYeah. We really were something, werenât we?â
âSure. I always thought you were the one.â
Their eyes meet again, but thereâs too much tension in their gaze for it to last long. There are too many feelings, too many thoughts and things left unsaid between them.
âYeah. That wouldâve been fun.â
He clears his throat, eager to change the subject. âSo, your exâs baby.â
She wrinkles her nose. âYeah. Dylanâs having a baby. And really, Iâm fine, like- I really am over him, you know?â
âWell, I imagined you would be. You were the one who didnât want to marry him after college.â
âYou had to bring this up, hadnât you?â
He shrugs. âIâm just stating the facts.â
âOf course you are,â she sighs. âAnyway, Iâm doing good, you know I am. I love my job and I have a good life and lately Iâve been on some new shit. Itâs cool, I like my life. And I guess Iâm happy for him, itâs just-,â she reaches for her glass and notices itâs still empty. âJames can you please give me some more alcohol?â
He makes a face and tries to protest, but ends up leaning down to grab the vodka bottle.
âThanks,â she says, after she drinks.
âHm. So youâre happy?â
âYeah, I guess. I am, itâs just... Itâs frustrating, you know. It feels like a door is locking and itâs okay because I didnât even want to open it, but- It feels lonely outside. And it reminds me of everything I couldâve had.â
He reaches out and grabs her hand, holding it softly. âHey. Itâs not like you canât have it anymore. You just canât have it with himâ
âU-hum.â
âAnd damn, Lily, that guy...â
âI know.â
They stay silent and eat the rest of the fries, listening to the familiar noises of the bar.
âDo you ever think about that?â She suddenly asks.
âAbout what?â
âAbout like... What it couldâve been?â
His eyebrows come together. âYou mean you and Dylan? Why would I?â
âNot me and Dylan. Us.â
The air gets denser and he stares at his own hands. For a while, neither of them speaks again.
âYes. I think about it.â
âAnd what do you think?â
He lifts his eyes to meet hers. âI donât know, Lily. A lot of things. We couldnât have known back them, that weâd still be close by now. We were going to different cities and I didnât think youâd come back to London and be my favorite costumer.â
âAnd you messed up.â
âYeah. I messed up.â
Another round of silence, and this time they realize they are the only people left there.
âIt must be getting late,â she says, finally.
âProbably.â
âI guess I should go home.â
He nods slightly and they stare at each otherâs eyes for a few moments longer. She keeps looking at him in a strange way, as if waiting for him to say or do something, he doesnât quite know what it is. She hesitates before reaching for her purse stops to look at him.
âItâs fine, you know? I mean, you messed up, but I forgave you a long time ago. Sometimes I wonder too... Maybe if some things had been different-,â she shook her head, as if to dismiss her line of thought. âWell, it doesnât matter. How much do I owe you?â
He shook his head. âConsider it on the house.â
She stares at him and they have a silent discussion about this with their eyes. He wins.
âFine,â she says. âBye, then, James. And thank you for the drinks and the food and the talk.â
She turns around to leave, but something about the air and the way she walks makes him have the urge to call her back. âLily?â
She turns her head around.
âAre you drunk?â He asks.
She furrows her eyebrows. âDrunk enough to be dangerous behind the wheel. Sober enough to know that and make the decision to call a cab.â
He just stands there for a moment.
âDonât worry James, Iâm fine. And Iâll remember all of this tomorrow.â
She starts to turn around to leave again, but he moves fast this time, almost running and coming to the other side of the bar, reaching her in a few steps.
âJames?â
He stands right in front of her, and instead of answering he just keeps staring at her, at those green eyes and light freckled nose and rosy cheeks that were so familiar. Slowly, he takes her face in his hands, holding her jaw and the back of her neck softly and tilting her head slightly up.
Almost trembling, he leans in a soft motion, giving her time to say something or back away if she wants to.
She doesnât. So he brings their lips together and kisses her gently, but passionately. When their tongues meet, itâs like theyâre finding an old path, a road they hadnât traveled for years, but still know exactly all the details from. It doesnât take long for them to be breathless and itching for more. More of their mouths, their bodies, more of that. More of them.
âOh, shit,â she mutters when they break apart, his hands still on her head and hers lost on his hair.
âThat is what I think about, Evans. When I think about us,â he says, firmly, before stepping away and starting to clean the place.
She gulps. âOh. Okay.â
He lets a side smile show. âMaybe we can figure it out, you know. What it couldâve been.â
She blushes as he smiles at her.
âYou can call me, if you want to... do something different.â
âOkay.â
âOkay.â
They stand there staring at each other. She breathes in and out several times. Then she turns around and leaves, the door making a soft noise behind her.
A second after, his phone rings.
âHello?â
Lilyâs voice is soft on the other side. âI thought we could do something different. Maybe tomorrow?â
âTomorrow sounds great.â

hands to yourself (gbd)
ethan is sick of the pda and challenges you and grayson to a 3 day no touching bet. but what happens after 72 hours is a different story...
word count: 4.9k
warnings/tags: smut (itâs about damn time ladies), angst, lots of sexual teasing, lets have some fun shall we
feel free to send in requests! and check out my masterlist if you wanna :)
Many things happened when you were making out with Grayson. Getting clocked in the side of the head with a pillow was not usually one of them.Â
âWill you two keep it in your pants for two fucking seconds,â Ethan grumbled, obviously the perpetrator of the flying pillow that had connected with your face a few moments prior. He had good aim, youâd give him that.
âFuck off,â Grayson grumbled, but he detached his lips from yours, settling to lay on you instead. It wasnât an unusual position for you to find yourselves in - Ethan in the chair, you and your boyfriend sprawled out on the couch while you watched a movie. Most times youâd be laying on top of Grayson, cheek on his chest, his hand running gently up and down your arm or back. Sometimes heâd lift your shirt some so he could scratch your back, skin soft under his fingers. Other times - like now - heâd be wanting the attention, scooting down and nuzzling up on your chest so you could play with his hair or trace shapes on his skin.Â
Either way, it seemed to get under Ethanâs skin.Â
âYou fuck off, I live here too I donât need to see you two all up on each other 24/7,â Ethan shot back, obviously annoyed. It didnât usually bother you - he went through phases where heâd get lonely and be a bit more annoyed at the PDA - Grayson was quite handsy if you were honest. On the other hand though, it could get annoying sometimes. You would like to be able to make out with your boyfriend on your own couch without the comments from the peanut gallery. And it annoyed Grayson 10 times more than it did you.
âChill guys,â you sighed, not wanting it to get any worse.Â
âNah, weâre about to take a trip in the van and Iâm not about to wake up to you two fucking next to me cause you canât keep it in your pants,â Ethan huffed back, movie long forgotten as he got heated. âYou literally cannot keep your hands off each other, itâs gross.â
For some reason, that comment got under your skin a bit more than anything he had said prior. You were a mature adult who could control herself if she wanted to. And you could prove it too.Â
âBet.â
Grayson stiffened, lifting his head. He knew how competitive you could be - it was one of the many reasons he loved you - but combined with Ethanâs inability to lose, it got dangerous sometimes. Bets were never good when they were between you and his brother, and you could tell he was worried.
âWhat are we betting?â Gray murmured, not liking where the conversation was headed.
âOkay fine.â Ethan perked up a bit, loving an idea of a challenge and completely ignoring his twin. âOne week, you all canât touch each other when Iâm around.â
âAbsolutely fucking not,â Grayson immediately shut it down. You put a hand on his arm, calming him a bit. This was between you and Ethan now.
âA week is too long. Iâll give you three days,â you offered. Grayson turned to you, incredulous.Â
âAbsolutely fucking not?â He said it to you this time, but you squeezed his arm again, signaling for him to hear you out.Â
âI can do three days,â Ethan offered. âBut if itâs only three, then you all canât touch each other at all. Like even when Iâm not around. Strict no touching policy for three days. Itâll be a good cleanse for you horny fucks.âÂ
âFine,â you agreed, narrowing your eyes at him.
âWhat?!â Grayson balked. You just grinned.
âBut. If we make it the three days, youâre never going to say another snide comment about us touching. Ever.â Â
Ethan paused at that, really considering what he would be giving up if you managed to pull off the bet.
âFine. But, if IÂ win, I get to say whether or not you can be all lovey dovey and shit, and you have to listen.â There was a wicked look in his eyes; if he won heâd be ruthless, no doubt.Â
There was a whole lot at stake. But the prospect of being able to do whatever you wanted with Grayson, wherever you wanted, without Ethanâs commentary was too good to pass up.
âDeal.âÂ
âOh, so I donât get a say in it? Cool, cause this doesnât affect me at all,â Grayson chimed in, obviously annoyed.Â
âOkay, but how nice would it be if he couldnât say shit about us,â you quirked an eyebrow at Grayson and he sighed, running a hand through his hair.
You were right, and he knew it.Â
âFine,â he conceded, knowing youâd get your way no matter what he said. âIâm in.âÂ
âShake on it,â Ethan said, getting up from his chair and walking over to you. You reached out, giving him a firm handshake and a nod. When you let go, he turned his wrist, looking at his watch.
âAlright, itâs 11:35. Time starts now, disperse,â he grinned, gesturing to the two of you. Grayson moved off of you with a huff, scooting to the other end of the couch.Â
As soon as he was gone, you realized just what youâd signed the two of you up for.
It was going to be a long 72 hours.
day one
It was only 9am, and tensions were already running high. Ethan wasnât giving up any ground - he hadnât even let you and Grayson sleep in the same bed the night prior. Which meant Grayson, being the gentleman he was, let you take the bed and he took the couch.Â
So, feeling well rested and in a good mood, you headed for the kitchen. Grayson was there, as you expected, typical avocado toast in hand. But when he saw you, he immediately groaned, dropping his head to the counter as you opened the fridge.Â
âWhat?!â You asked, laughing a bit. When he looked up, you could see the frustration in his eyes.
âCould you at least try to not make this any more fucking impossible than it already is?âÂ
âIâm just getting yogurt...â you said innocently, holding up the cup you pulled from the fridge only a few moments prior.
âYeah, but you could at least wear a fucking bra,â he pointed out, eyes trained on your chest. You hadnât really thought about it - you were in one of Grayâs shirts, which was oversized on you. But now that you looked, you could tell that the cold air of the fridge had made your nipples hard, the ghost of them obvious through the fabric.
âBras are uncomfortable,â you countered, pointing your spoon at him.
âYeah? Well so are blue balls.âÂ
His voice was so serious that you both just stared at each other for a minute, and then you couldnât help it. You broke first, starting to giggle and then both of you were cackling like middle schoolers.Â
Once youâd finally calmed down and wiped away the tears you were crying, you continued eating your breakfast, perched on the counter by the stove. Graysonâs eyes were on you, specifically on your tongue as you licked yogurt off the spoon.Â
âYou know, Ethan wonât be up for another few hours. Heâd never know,â Grayson wiggled his eyebrows at you.
âNah, we donât cheat in this house. A bet is a bet.â
âWell this bet sucks.â His voice was garbled around the last bite of toast that he was chewing.
âI know. But hey, itâll be worth it. Then we can do whatever we want, and he canât say shit,â you reminded him.
âWeâre gonna drive him nuts,â Grayson grinned, and just those words sent goosebumps rising across your skin. Stop. Stop that. You couldnât let yourself get lost in a daydream, especially when you werenât allowed to touch him - that would just be self torture.Â
But it was too late. Now all you could think about was how normally right now, heâd be standing in front of you between your legs, hips pressed against the counter, his hands in your hair, lips on yours.
âUh... babe? You good?â Graysonâs voice pulled you out of the image. His brows were furrowed, and you watched as he nodded to the floor, where a small dollop of yogurt had splattered. It must have slid off your spoon while you were lost.
âThis bet sucks,â you repeated his earlier words, suddenly very much regretting your decision.
âFriendly reminder that you started it,â he grinned deviously. âWere you daydreaming over there?â
âNo.â You answered too quickly. Dammit.
âOh... well in that case, I guess Iâm just gonna keep myself busy then. Might go build. Or lay out. Not sure yet.â That mischievous glint was in his eyes and you groaned. He knew exactly what he was doing - something about the focus he had when he was working on a project, with his tool belt low on his hips, sunglasses on and shirtless - it got you weak in the knees every damn time.Â
And he knew it too.Â
All you could do was glare at him as he got up and washed his plate before heading back to your room. Sure enough, 20 minutes later he was outside, carrying wood across the yard to where his saw was set up.Â
You sat in the living room, watching him work while you drank your coffee. Watched his muscles ripple under his skin as he hoisted 2 by 4âČs over his head, powerful arms doing it with no effort. He could hold you up with those arms, hold you up while he-
âGood morning, this just in from pining central-â
You turned at the voice, glowering when you realized it was Ethan with a smug grin on his face.Â
âShut the fuck up,â you grumbled, sticking your tongue out at him.Â
âOoooo, touchy,â he teased, reaching out and ruffling your hair. You reached back to slap his shoulder, but you were smiling. âOr... no touchy.â Ethan cracked the joke, obviously proud of himself.
âThat was actually terrible,â you shook your head.
âYouâre just mad cause youâre gonna lose this bet,â he said, raising his eyebrows as he headed back towards the kitchen to make his breakfast.Â
âNot a chance in hell.â
day two
Sleeping on the couch wasnât ideal, that was for damn sure. Not because it wasnât comfortable, but because you didnât have Grayson next to you. After his long day of building you knew that he was sore, and youâd insisted that he took the bed instead.Â
But that also meant that he had slept in for once, making your morning mission a little bit harder than usual. You snuck into the bedroom, tiptoeing at first, then walking normal when you realized that he was still snoring. He was curled up on his side, shirtless and sleeping soundly, his left arm curled around a pillow that he was holding to his chest. It took you a minute to realize that this was how you usually woke up, with his arm wrapped around you before you turned over and eased him onto his back so you could cuddle.Â
Stupid pillow. You pushed the thought from your mind as best you could, going over to your drawer and picking out a bikini to wear. It was beautiful out, the perfect day to get some sun. You changed quickly, grabbing a towel from the bathroom and your sunscreen before you headed out to the pool. It would at least help you kill a few hours. You were discovering that things were boring when you couldnât make out with your boyfriend.
It was two hours later when you heard the doors open, signaling that someone was coming out of the house. You peaked over your sunglasses, unsurprised to see Grayson there.
âDid you just wake up?âÂ
âNo. Iâve been awake.â His tone was short, and you frowned.Â
âWhatâs wrong?âÂ
âDonât play innocent,â he grumbled. You sat up further on the yellow lounge, confused.
âWhat?âÂ
âYouâre doing this on purpose. Out here, all laid out in a tiny bikini when thereâs nothing I can do about it. Youâre a tease.â He sat down on the other lounge, staring at you. You could tell he was hard underneath his gym shorts.
âI just wanted to get some sun... But, two can play that game. Youâre telling me you building all day yesterday was innocent?â You looked at him accusingly, expecting him to laugh. Instead, his eyes just darkened.Â
âOh, does me building do something to you?â He knew the answer to that. It fueled his ego that him doing something so simple could turn you on so much, and you hated that you had no control over it. âWhat exactly does it do to you, hmm?â
âStop it,â you muttered, but your body was reacting anyways. Your skin was flushing just from his words.Â
âStop what? Stop making you wet?âÂ
âWe canât do anything about it, donât make it worse,â you pleaded. He was right, you were wet, and you wanted nothing more than for him to fuck you right then and there. But you were more strong willed than that. It was only another 30 or so hours. You would make it.
âIâm going to shower,â you said, standing up and heading into the house. You knew his eyes were on your ass, and you were unsurprised that he got up to follow you, carrying your towel in wadded over his dick in case Ethan was out of his room.Â
You tried to ignore him as you headed to the bathroom, taking your hair down and starting the water to give it time to warm up. To your surprise, he lifted himself up and sat on the end of the counter, giving himself a perfect view of the glass shower.Â
âWhatâre you doing?âÂ
âWatching.â There was a heat in his voice that went straight through you. You swallowed heavy, turning to him. He got like this sometimes, where his dominant side would come out. Usually it was halfway through sex, when he was pulling on your hair, or when you had a particularly bad attitude and he corrected it quickly with a rough fuck.Â
But there was an intensity to this that had your mouth dry as you started to undress under his gaze. You reached behind your neck, pulling on the string that kept your top together. When the bow came undone, the fabric began to fall, though it didnât fully reveal your tits until you untied the back and it fell to the ground.Â
Grayson said nothing, eyes unwavering as you moved to your bottoms. You shimmied out of them quickly, kicking them to the side. Unfortunately, they landed directly in front of him. You knew heâd see the wetness that had pooled in them; it was obvious. That wasnât going to help matters.Â
âWe can call off the bet. If you want.â You blurted it out - until the last few minutes you didnât realize how desperate you were to have his hands on you.
âNo. We canât. Now shower, before we run out of hot water.âÂ
You did as you were told, walking over into the water and letting it run over your skin. You kept your eyes closed mostly, but you could feel him watching your every move. As you washed your body, your hands lingered over yourself for just a moment, desperate for relief.
âDonât you dare.â Graysonâs voice was deep and demanding, making your eyes snap open. He very rarely took that tone with you.
âTouching myself isnât against Ethanâs rules,â you pointed out, knowing it would piss him off to hear his brotherâs name right now. If he wasnât already going to destroy you when he could, he definitely was now.Â
âItâs against my rules.âÂ
Just those words were enough to almost make you cum right there.
Why, why had you made this bet.
day three
Getting out of the house was the only option, you couldnât take it anymore. Especially after the pent up energy established yesterday, you couldnât handle the stares and the constant need to have his hands on you. If you stayed too long, youâd break the bet.Â
So, you treated yourself to a bit of a shopping spree for the day. You picked out new clothes from a few stores, even picking up a shirt for Grayson you knew he would love, and some shoes for Ethan. You went to lunch, taking your time, even going to get coffee later on. It was a nice break from the tension, though every time you looked at your phone and saw your lock screen - a picture of you and shirtless Grayson in the mirror - it sent tingles down your spine, reminding you of what you were finally getting back tonight.
Your final stop was a lingerie shop. It was always fun to look at all the pretty lace patterns and colors - usually you just window shopped, but you were trying to draw out the process as long as you could. An emerald green number caught your eye, laid out on one of the tables. It was lace and silk, delicate but sexy at the same time. On a bit of a whim, you bought it, adding the bag to those already on your arm as you headed home. You took the long way, happy to see that it was already 7pm by the time you pulled in the driveway.Â
Four and a half more hours. That was it. Just four and a half more hours. Surely, you could do it.
When you came in, Ethan was eating cereal, and had already begun sulking. That lifted some of the tension that was hanging over the house, specifically coming from the direction of the living room where Grayson was practicing handstands.
âAwe, is somebody sad theyâre going to lose the bet?â You teased, sitting the bags down and digging around for his shoes.
âTimeâs not up yet,â he grumbled.Â
âWell, I got you a pity gift,â you smiled, passing him the box. âEnjoy.â
âThanks, Iâll need a distraction from you all sucking face constantly,â he rolled his eyes. You knew heâd be grateful for the shoes once he got over his loss.Â
âHey Gray, I got you something,â you called, heading to the living room with your bags. He was still in his handstand and he brought himself down slowly, a smooth landing.Â
âLemme see,â he smiled. The frustration heâd had yesterday was still there, but he was trying to be helpful, as were you. Spending the day apart had made it easier, and with the finish line in sight the both of you were in higher spirits.
âI canât remember which bag itâs in,â you mumbled, starting to sit them down so you could look through them. Grayson picked one up, and before you could say anything his hand was in it, no doubt feeling the lace and silk.Â
He froze, eyes darkening again.
âIs this for later,â he practically mouthed the words, barely speaking so Ethan didnât hear him.
âIt can be,â you whispered back, blushing. He only nodded, a wicked excitement in his eyes.Â
After the teasing and tension yesterday, you were a bit worried that your new set wouldnât even survive the night. He had a bit of a habit of ripping things when he got dominant. You supposed you could just buy another one if you had to.
You kept yourself busy after giving him his shirt, looking for distractions anywhere you could. You ate a quick dinner, then decided to take a nap.
âIâm going to sleep,â you announced to the boys, heading towards your room.Â
âItâs 8:30,â Ethan said, confused.
âWell, Iâm probably going to have a long night, so,â you grinned at him. Grayson choked, looking up at you.Â
âGross. Go to bed,â E grumbled. You obliged, heading to your room. You killed another hour or so on your phone before realizing that you might actually fall asleep. Not wanting to ruin the surprise, you changed into your lingerie, looking yourself over in the mirror. It was just as flattering as you hoped it would be, accentuating all your favorite areas.
Grayson was gonna lose it.Â
You climbed back onto the bed, comforted by the feeling of the soft cotton on your exposed skin. You curled up, getting comfy and eventually drifting off to sleep.
The next thing you felt were two large hands on your waist, putting you on your back.
âWhat the?âÂ
âItâs 11:36.â It was Graysonâs voice, and it clicked.
The bet was over. Thank fuck.Â
You were suddenly wide awake, and you couldnât get your hands on him quick enough. His skin was soft and warm as you reached up to his shoulders, running along the muscles until you got to his neck. You pulled his face down to yours, crashing your lips together. Youâd never felt anything so good in your life.
âWeâre never doing anything like that ever again,â you mumbled against his lips, hands back on his skin, at his waist now, curling around his back trying to pull him closer to you.
âAgreed,â he said, kissing you again before he bailed to the side, reaching over and pulling you on top of him. And suddenly you were touching everywhere. His thighs were against yours, and you could feel his dick against you, his torso wide and strong beneath you as his hands roamed down your side, over your hip and around to your ass.
âFuck, you look so good,â he groaned, fingers toying with the fabric of your thong. Your hips bucked at the feeling of his hand on your ass, and it created a delicious friction against his dick that had you starting a rhythm in no time. He sat up then so you were on his lap, gravity causing more pressure as you kept grinding, both of your breathing picking up at the sensation. After the pent up hormones of the last few days, you were sure you could cum just like that, and you wouldnât be surprised if he did too.Â
He reached behind you, unclipping your bra with ease, pulling it off your arms and tossing it across the room. Then, his hands were at your hips, fingers digging into your skin, lips at your neck as you worked him over.
âSurprised you arenât punishing me for being a tease,â you mumbled, then gasped at the bite that resulted from your words.
âDonât tempt me, weâve got all night,â he groaned, moving you a bit faster. You clung to him tighter, grateful that heâd decided to just focus on pleasure tonight.Â
âJust wanna feel you.â His words were hardly a warning as he rolled over, putting you back on the bed. He reached behind himself, unlocking your legs from around his waist before he moved down the bed. His hands went to you hips, scooting you up a tiny bit before he hooked his index fingers into the waist of your thong, swiftly discarding it after it was off.Â
âLook even better like this,â he hummed, crawling up to kiss you again. You chased his lips when he broke it off, only to gasp a bit when you felt him press a kiss to your collarbone. He moved down, cupping each tit and licking and sucking along your nipples until you were squirming. His progress down your torso was painfully slow, each little nip with his teeth making your whole body jolt. By the time he got to your inner thigh, you were begging.
âPlease Gray, please fuck, give me something,â you whined, practically writhing underneath him.
âAs you wish.â And then his mouth was on you. He knew you better than anyone - and he wasted no time. He worked you over like the expert he was, tongue flat then fast, with just the right pressure. You never lasted long like this, with your hands in his hair and his hands pinning your hips down to the bed. But this might have been the quickest - it couldnât have been a minute before you were cumming, pulling on his hair as you let go. Your legs were actually shaking, and he pulled back, thumbs rubbing along your skin as you came down, catching your breath.Â
âHoly shit,â you choked out, trying to swallow as you gasped.Â
âThat was hot as fuck. Didnât even know you could cum that fast,â he grinned, obviously a bit proud of himself. You didnât blame him - with that tongue he could have an ego as big as he wanted. He pressed kisses to your hips, then your ribs, the middle of your chest, giving you time to get your breathing back to normal before he caught your lips with his again.Â
Now it was your turn. You reached down into his boxers, wrapping a hand around his dick. It was heavy and hard in your hand, but his hiss made you stop your movements.Â
âBaby, Iâm already not gonna last, donât need you making it any shorter and bruising my ego,â he huffed, obviously trying to calm himself down a bit. You moved to the waistband of his boxers instead, pushing them down his thighs. He took them the rest of the way off, throwing them in the same direction your lingerie had flown earlier.Â
You spread a little wider, reaching for him as he positioned himself over you, his weight on his forearms which were on either side of you. He dipped his hips, teasing you for just a moment, before pushing in. You sighed at the feeling, wrapping your arms around his shoulders, holding yourself steady so that he didnât push you up the bed. When he was balls-deep, he kissed your forehead.Â
âMissed you,â he whispered, and you could have melted right there. âYou ready?â
You nodded - it didnât matter how many times you did this - he was still big, and it always took you just a minute to adjust. Grayson always gave it to you, making sure he didnât cause you any pain.Â
He lowered himself down so that some of his weight was on you, and then he snapped his hips back, driving into you with a groan. He was everything you could feel and see, his chest against yours, bodies touching everywhere that they possibly could as he started a quick rhythm.Â
âFuck you feel so good,â he groaned, voice deep as he went deeper with every thrust, hitting the spot that had your toes curling, nails scraping down his back.
âJesus fuck Gray, Iâm gonna cum again, fuck,â you said, pleasure loosening your tongue. He moaned at that, burying his face in your neck, biting at the skin he found as he sped up his hips. Â
âFuck, fuck fuck,â you squeaked out as your next orgasm hit, every muscle you had clenching up in pleasure.Â
âGod,â Grayson moaned, somehow moving even faster, holding himself up with one arm while the other wrapped around your waist, pulling your hips up to get another angle. âOh fuck,â he groaned. âJesus baby, fuck.âÂ
And even in your blissed out state, you felt him cum, cock twitching inside you before his weight lowered onto you for a moment, arm still wrapped all the way around you. As soon as he could function, he rolled the both of you over so he didnât crush you. You didnât separate at all as you laid on top of him, weak and satisfied as he stayed seated inside you, both of you fucked out and content.Â
You knew you were probably making a mess and you neither of you gave a fuck, not moving an inch other than Graysonâs hands wandering, fingers tracing patterns on your bare skin. Eventually he rolled over, sliding out of you gently with a kiss to your forehead before he got up and went to get a washcloth. He cleaned you up, as well as what was left on the sheets before tossing the rag in the laundry. He pulled his boxers back on before climbing back in bed.
âAll good baby girl?â He gave you a soft smile as he laid down. You used the energy you had left to climb back onto him, unwilling to have any space between you at all after the last three days.
âI am now,â you sighed, content just to have his skin on yours. You just enjoyed each otherâs presence for a few more minutes, and then you felt Grayson laugh a little bit underneath you, making you sit up just enough to look at him.
âWhatâs so funny?â
âI just realized that we won the bet. I kinda forgot, I was just ready for it to be over. But now we can literally do whatever we want and E canât say shit,â he laughed, hugging you a bit tighter.Â
âWe could literally have sex in the living room and he canât say shit,â you grinned, quirking a mischievous eyebrow.
Grayson just shook his head with the biggest smile, wrapping his arms around your shoulders and kissing the top of your head.Â
âNah. All mine.âÂ

âą Masterlist here!
⹠Chapters: IX, X
âą Song rec of the chapter : Start Over Again - New Hope Club
âShit, I didnât think it would be this bad.â Hyuck exclaimed as they finally managed to drag Jaemin out of the arcade. âWhy was his wrist glowing like that?!â Chenle exclaimed as Jaemin gripped his wrist tightly, trying to make the burning sensation subside. âIdiot, didnât you pay attention to Science class?â Hyuck replied as they watched Jeno (who had ran off to the nearest run towards them with a small packet of ice cream mochi in his hand.
âThis was the only thing nearby, put this on.â Jeno handed Jaemin the cold packet, who thanked him softly and carefully placed the packet on the burning skin. âWhatâs happening to him?â Jisung asked, looking at his seniors as Jaemin leaned his back against the wall, slumping against it with a heavy sigh, trying to ignore the searing pain.
âIâm fine, really. Itâs just a little wrist pain. Itâll go away sooner or later. I-â Jaemin muttered under his breath before Jeno cuts him off with a strict tone. âShut up, Jaemin. Youâre not okay,â he spoke sternly before running a hand through his hair in distress. âHyung, whatâs going on?â Jisung asked, in a more serious tone, truly concerned for their dear friend.
âItâs his tattoo. Itâs burning his blood.â Hyuck explained, his usual teasing tone was now replaced with a serious one. His eyes staring straight at the glowing red skin as the younger boys stared at him in shock, Jaeminâs head shot up in surprise, eyes wide to see if Hyuck was messing him or not. âHyuck, thatâs not funny.â Jaemin let out a strained laugh, letting out a sharp hiss when Jeno pressed the cold pack harder onto his skin. âItâs not a joke, Jaems.â Jeno scolded softly.
âHow is that even possible?â Chenle asked, baffled. Jeno rolled his eyes as he released his tight grip on Jaeminâs wrist, causing the younger boy to glare at him, pressing the ice pack against his wrist gently. âGuess someone never payed attention to Science class,â Hyuck muttered under his breath, receiving a punch on the shoulder from Jisung. âGet to the point, hyung.â he frowned.
âFrom what I remembered, that tattoo is connected to your emotions. Itâs like the old red string soulmate theory. Itâs the only thing that connects you with your soulmate. if you found your soulmate but they reject you or hurt you in any shape or form, the brain registers emotional pain of heartbreak in the same way as physical pain.â Jeno explains briefly, as Jaeminâs eyes widened at the new information. How come heâs never heard of this before?
âWhen the tattoo appears, it turns into some kind of blood vessel that connects to the emotional part of your body. And when you experience some form of heartbreak thatâs caused by your soulmate, the tattoo somehow produces bacteria that burns your blood on your left wrist, hence the bright glow.â Jeno adds on, sighing, a hand going back to scratch the back of his neck. Hyuck nodded, âI knew this because Jeno gave me his science notes when we had that science test,â Hyuck exclaimed, putting a hand on Jenoâs shoulder who gave him a deadpanned look.
âThere are some cases that the pains were so bad that they had to be removed.â Hyuck added on. âAnd let me tell you, itâs not a fun process to do so. Itâs pretty rare, but they say if youâre not careful, removing it might mentally break them.â Hyuck unconsciously rubbed his own wrist, wincing at the mere thought of getting a part of his skin peeled off.
âSo all this time. All the chest pains, all the wrist pains Iâve been enduring, was because I was feeling emotionally hurt by my own soulmate?â Jaemin asked in a rather hesitant tone, his pupils filled with disbelief. âNot hurt, per say. More like jealousy.â Hyuck concluded with soft shrug. âJealousy?â Jaemin gaped, his mouth opened in disbelief. He didnât know what to say. Or if he could say anything at all. It was all too much to take in.
âYep. I donât know if you noticed, but every time you see Renjun and Y/N together these days, you often glare at them as if you were going to have lasers shooting out of your eyeballs into Renjunâs skull.â Jisung joked, a small smile appearing on his face, trying to ease the awkward tension around them. âYou need to seriously stop lying to yourself. If the world set you up together, youâre bound to develop feelings whether you like it or not, thatâs how this fucked up soulmate system works.â Hyuck groaned in annoyance.
âYouâre more stubborn than Jeno when his mom told him to not get a cat because heâs allergic to fur.â Jisung nodded in agreement. Jeno turned his head to the younger boy, letting out a soft, âwhat?âÂ
âVery funny, you two.â Jaemin rolled his eyes.
âHonestly, hyung, this wouldnât have happened if you werenât so stubborn bout going against fate.â Chenle huffed, leaning his arm against Jaeminâs left shoulder, looking at the older boy with sympathy in his eyes. âWait, does this mean,â Jaemin paused as his mind drifted back to you, his brows furrowed in confusion and a slight tint of horror.
âAll this time, y/n felt this excruciating sensation for two whole years?â Jaemin gulped. By the way Jisung and Chenle gazed at their older friends curiously, he assumed they didnât know any of this. A part of him didnât want to talk bout this in front of them. Yet, another part of him was too curious yet nervous to find out the answer, for his friendsâ reactions had said it all. The two boys looked away sadly, bowing their heads to avoid eye contact with their best friend. Jaemin felt his heart drop into his stomach, your innocent smile flashing through his mind, causing his guilt to fill him up even more.
âWhy didnât you tell me?â Jaemin asked, guilt filling his veins like a running tap filling up a jug with water.
âWe wanted to. At first, we thought you knew. Thatâs why we were rather hesitant when talking to you since that day,â Hyuck exclaimed with an exhausted sigh, biting his lip nervously, referring to your birthday. âThen when you said you almost failed science back then because you didnât bother reading the notes we shared, we were about to tell you,â Jeno continued hesitantly, his own eyes filled with guilt, remembering how Jaemin hated the ideas of soulmates so much, he didnât even want to listen to the teachers explanations when it comes to the soulmate system that he purposely didnât study for the soulmate part of the topic for the test.
âBut then,â Hyuck cut him off.
2 years ago
âDude, you barely passed Science, whatâs up with that?â Jeno gaped, seeing Jaeminâs low score displayed on the pin board their school had set up beside every entrance to each class for event posters and test scores. Jaemin shrugged nonchalantly, his eyes filled with disinterest. âThis was like the easiest topic of the whole semester, how in hell did you get a 72?â Hyuck exclaimed in disbelief.
âI didnât bother to study with this one,â Jaemin shrugged, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. âDude, itâs about the soulmate system. The only interesting topic in the whole school year, itâs all basic knowledge.â Hyuck deadpanned, nudging Jaeminâs arm with his elbow. Jaemin rolled his eyes, groaning in annoyance. âSo? I donât want to know shit bout that lousy system.â Jaemin replied with pursed lips.
âShit, man. Thatâs kind of mean. I bet you didnât even know that if you hurt your soulmate youâll-âÂ
âHaechan! Jeno!âÂ
The three boys turned to see you smiling widely at them, though the smile didnât reach your eyes. You quickly jogged up to the two boys, grabbing the, by the elbows in each hand, gripping onto them tightly. âHey Nana!â you greeted, giving your soulmate a loving smile who just sent you a small friendly smile and a small wave. âSorry, do you mind if I borrow your friends for a bit? I got something to say to them,â you giggled nervously, tugging them backwards to say itâs urgent so that Jaemin couldnât catch on.
âWhere did you come from?â Jeno asked, raising a brow at you. You frowned slightly, âthrough the wall.â You replied in a sarcastic tone, causing Hyuck to let out a soft chuckle. âItâs really urgent. I really need to talk to you guys,â you spoke seriously, tugging them back as Jaemin raised his brow at you suspiciously. âWhatâs so urgent that you got to take my friends away from me, huh?â Jaemin teased, causing you to let out a soft laugh.
âWouldnât you like to know?â you winked, giggling. âBut we have class in less than-â Jeno was immediately cut off by your desperate tone as you tugged them back quite roughly. âItâll just take a second!â you said nervously, eyes pleading at them to go with the flow. Hyuck and Jeno shared perplexed looks before letting you tug them away from Jaemin.
âSee you in Chemistry, Jaemin!â Jeno waved at his friend, who waved back with a soft smile before turning to the other direction to get to his locker. You pulled Hyuck and Jeno around the corner, looking back to see if you were far enough from Jaemin. âWhatâs up with you Y/N? You look like my little sister when she told her teacher that I ate her homework.â Hyuck asked in a concerned tone.
Your smile from before dissipated into a rather exhausted expression, sighing as you leaned back against some random studentâs locker. âYou guys have to promise me to not talk to Jaemin anything related to the soulmate system.â you frowned, eyes boring onto theirs seriously. Jeno frowned, confused. âOkay. Why though?â he asked questioningly.
You looked back, making sure Jaemin was nowhere to be seen before hesitantly speaking. âHe doesnât know anything bout the soulmate system. Like, literally nothing.â you started, rubbing the back of your neck in distress, letting out a pained sigh. âHeâs been that way ever since we were kids, you know that, Jeno. And itâs best if we keep it that way,â you explained.
âY/n, no. You know full well whatâs going to happen. Youâre gonna get hurt, like physically hurt, y/n. We need to tell him,â Jeno shook his head, refusing boldly with Hyuck nodding in agreement. You sighed, smiling softly. âI knew you were going to say that. But really, Iâm going to be fine. Itâs nothing I canât handle.â you waved it off with a light smile.
Hyuck and Jeno gave you uncertain looks. âIâm serious.â you huffed with a slight pout, âI appreciate you two caring bout my well being but Iâm really going to be okay. Trust me,â you held up two crossed fingers from your left hand, grinning sheepishly. Hyuck and Jeno eyed the sore mark around the tattoo on your wrist, identical to Jaeminâs which was red as if it had been gripped tightly by someone.Â
âY/n, youâre gonna get even more hurt. You need to tell Jaemin, what if he stops being stubborn if you just tell him?â Hyuck tried to reason, feeling his own wrist sting by the sight of yours, wondering how painful it could be to feel such an awful sensation. You let out a soft shrug, âI donât want to see him sad like that. I am his soulmate after all, soulmates are suppose to keep each other happy.â you smiled, though Jeno and Hyuck could see the sadness through your pupils.
âWhatâs the point in that? Youâre just gonna keep him in the dark so he can be happy while you suffer in pain every day? That isnât fair, y/n. It isnât fair to you nor to Jaemin,â Jeno furrowed his brows, feeling frustrated with his stubborn friend. Why couldnât he just get over the whole âIâm going against fate because this whole soulmate system sucksâ bullshit?
You gigged softly, looking down at the sore mark around your tattoo, caressing the balloon doodle with your thumb. âYou two donât fully understand. I want him to love me, but I donât want him to love me just because heâs forced to.â you sighed, taking your two friends aback slightly. âMaybe one day-â you shook your head profusely, trying to shake the negativity out of your head.
âNo, I know one day, heâll love me back the way I love him. I just need to be patient with his stubborn ass. Iâll never stop trying until that happens. And when that happens, maybe none of us will be sad anymore.â the sad yet hopeful smile you plastered across your lips was enough to break Jeno and Hyuckâs heart. They wished you and Jaemin could have an easier plot to your story, wishing that you wouldnât have to go through such a painful process just to make your soulmate happy. But love makes you do crazy things, and they knew they should respect your decision.
âHow are you so sure? Itâs been months, y/n.â Jeno asked rather hesitantly. But he needed an answer why you couldnât just tell him. Hyuck nodded, he couldnât find the courage to speak. Hell, Hyuck didnât even know what to say to you, not when you were looking at him as if you were clinging on to your last hope of life. You gave him those sad smiles you only see in movies when a main character knows theyâre in for a long painful ride through life.
âIâm actually not.â you replied shortly, putting your hands into the pockets of your jacket, âBut this is what love does to me. It makes me feel as if I gave up on this, Iâm going to have the whole world turned upside down. I guess Iâm just that whipped.â you shrugged simply, kicking a crumpled ball of paper someone dropped earlier. âLove? What is love, really?â Hyuck asked in a rather bitter tone, recalling the hurt expressions you would always have whenever Jaemin wasnât looking.
You paused to think bout it for a moment before looking at the two boys with a knowing look, âI donât know myself. But it feels amazing to be in love, I want it to last as long as possible. Even if it might not work out for me in the end, I just want to at least cherish it while I can,â you grinned, giving them enthusiastic jazz hands.
âSo, can you promise me that youâll both keep this between the three of us?âÂ
âSo you both actually kept it from me all these years?â Jaemin exclaimed, feeling anger overwhelm his whole body. Hyuckâs head shot up, âshe looked tired enough, we couldnât say no, you asshole!â he shot back defensively, jaw clenching tightly. âTelling you would be like taking her last bit of hope, she didnât want to burden you with the thought, so she kept it to herself, you ungrateful douchebag!â he spat, his face red with anger as he stared back at his friend in disbelief.
âOh, so you decided to let her suffer internally so I can feel like shit about it later on? Sure, Donghyuck!â Jaemin shot back, pulling the frozen pack to clench his fists by his sides. âOh, so itâs y/nâs fault now, is it? Thatâs what youâre implying?!â Hyuck growled, letting out a groan of annoyance at his best friendâs stubborn self.
âYou ass, you really canât see how fucking stupid youâre being? Sheâs your fucking soulmate, for fucks sakes! Get your head out of your ass and wake up, if you just showed a bit of interest with the whole soulmate system then this wouldnât have happened in the first place!âÂ
At this point, things were getting a bit too intense for the two boys, Jisung had to step forward and grip his seniorâs shoulder, in case Hyuck tried to do something to Jaemin. âShut up, Hyuck. You donât even know what youâre talking about! Youâre just one of those people who follows this fucked up soulmate system, you just donât get it!â Jaemin took a step forward towards the older boy, jaw clenched tightly in anger.
âYeah, sure, if this system is so fucked up, then what bout you, huh? What about you, Na Jaemin?âÂ
âWhat about me?â
âIf this whole system is fucked up, like you say it is. Then what about you? Donât you think itâs fucked up that you keep hurting your own childhood best friend for your own selfish purposes, you prick?â
âHyung, I think thats-â Jisung attempted to coax Hyuck to stop before he did some permanent damage to their whole friendship, only for the older boy to shrug his hand away with a harsh scowl on his lips. âShut up, Jisung. Iâve had it with this bullshit, itâs time he opens his fucking eyes and stop acting like a fucking brat.â Hyuck spat back at the younger, causing the poor boy to sigh in defeat.
âWhat the fuck is that suppose to mean?â Jaemin felt his heart ache, not in the way whenever he would see you or Renjun. It was a different kind of ache, it felt as if tiny sharp objects were slowly piercing through his heart. And Jaemin was afraid that he didnât know how to make it stop.
âItâs funny how you just tossed away her feelings for your own for two whole years. You didnât even know that she was hurting, right? You treated her like shit for two years: throwing away her cookies, her gifts. Taking her kindness for granted, rolling your eyes at her whenever she was in the room. Not to mention talking shit bout her behind her back.â
âI do not talk shit about her behind her back-â
âOh, really? What about those times you complained how clingy she was? How she was suffocating you with her presence? How she was getting annoying day by day, huh? What do you call that?â
âI was just-â
âYou were just what, Jaemin? You were just pissed off? Or was it because you didnât think she was right behind you listening? Or is it gonna be another of your petty excuses?â
Jaemin couldnât respond, he didnât know want to say. He admits that what heâs done in the past wasnât the nicest things, but he was just upset whenever he said those things. He froze in his place, unable to find the right words to respond. Or rather, he couldnât respond at all.
âOh, so now you have nothing to say? Just admit that youâre being irrational about this whole situation, Jaemin. Itâs not that hard to admit that youâre wrong, you bastard. No wonder Y/n replaced yo-â
Before Donghyuck could finish his sentence, Jaemin pushed Donghyuck by the chest harshly in anger. Hyuck took a few steps back at the harsh impact, his scowl turning into a smug grin. âShut up, Donghyuck.â Jaemin growled, shrugging off Jenoâs hand when Jeno stepped forward to gently coax Jaemin to let it go before they both do something thatâll get them in trouble.
âDid I hit a nerve? You know itâs true, Na. You just wonât admit it!â Hyuck growled, causing Jaeminâs blood to boil under his skin. Both of his fists were clenched tightly, ready to punch something. Or rather, someone.
âStop it, Hyuck.â Jeno barked, his tone getting an octave lower. At this point, Jisung and Chenle were eyeing their elders cautiously, ready to drop their snacks to the floor in case a fight breaks out. âWhat? Iâm not lying, arenât I? It wouldnât take a genius to know that Y/n basically replaced him with someone clearly better for her. I mean, Renjunâs would be a way better soulmate than your selfish ass, anyways.â Hyuck taunted with a proud glint in his pupils.
âHyuck, stop it before youâre gonna regret something,â Jeno barked once again as Jaemin clicked his tongue, his jaw clenching tightly as the atmosphere thickens between the three boys. âIf only Y/n wasnât cursed to be soulmate with an asshole like you, then she didnât have to put up with your ungrateful ass for all these years!â Hyuck exclaimed, raising his hands up dramatically to rile Jaemin up even more.
It all happened so fast.
In a split second, Jaemin launched himself onto Hyuck, grabbing the younger boy by the collar. âTake it back,â Jaemin spat in his face, tone laced with anger. Hyuck still had a proud smirk on his face, provoking the boy even more by his smug expression. âIâm happy she didnât have to get stuck with you for the rest of her life despite being cursed for having the same tat-âÂ
Hyuck didnât get to finish his sentence when Jaeminâs fist collided against the side of his face. âJaemin! Hyuck!â Jeno ripped the two boys apart, holding Jaemin back before he causes a ruckus. Jisung and Chenle held Hyuck back as Jeno began to scold the younger boys, âFuck off, Jeno!â Jaemin tried to shove Jeno off of him, but Jeno tightened his grip on Jaeminâs shoulder, holding him back tightly.
âJaemin, stop it youâre making a scene.â Jeno hissed as Hyuck let out a cocky âHa!â, getting out of Jisung and Chenleâs grip. âNo, Jen. Let him go, maybe if he beats me up, heâs gonna realize how shitty of a human being heâs been.â Hyuck taunted with a sinister laugh, causing Jaemin to let out a harsh growl at his friend. âYou little-â
âHyuck, stop provoking him. Jaemin, calm down before someone calls security!â Jeno struggled to keep Jaemin at arms length from Hyuck, Jaeminâs pupils darted at the people around them staring, whispering and crying out for someone to get security. He felt anxiety crawl up his skin at the countless of eyes glaring at them, but one that truly caught his eye was your own figure walking out of the arcade.
You had a skip in your step with an enthusiastic smile on your face as you stared back at your friends, pointing at the nearest food court as you looked back at your friends. His eyes widened slightly when he saw one of your friends pointing towards the crowd around them, anger soon being replaced with a strong surge of panic.
Jaemin masked his panic with an incredulous scoff, shoving Jenoâs hand off of him with an annoyed huff before bumping his shoulder against Donghyuck who gave him a death glare as he stomped off to the parking lot as fast as he could, ignoring the eyes of strangers as he leaves his friends behind.Â
âSon of a bitch!â
Jaemin couldnât be anymore thankful that his parents were away on a business trip for two weeks, they didnât have to see their son experiencing a mental breakdown right before their eyes. Jaemin slammed the door shut as hard as he could, hitting his fist against the door in anger, swearing loudly as he vents his anger out on the white wooden door.
His fists were red with pain, but at that moment he couldnât find it in himself to care. All he wanted was to block out the pain he was feeling deep down inside of him and let it out before it exploded inside him. Before the pressure broke him inside and outside. Â
Eventually, the sound of his fists hitting the wooden door stopped. Jaemin took a step back, panting, his hair messy, his blood boiling, his heart racing in his chest, exhaustion filling his entire body. He collapsed onto the mattress of his bed, sighing out. Jaemin felt exhausted, mentally and physically. He felt like being stuck in his room for the rest of his life. He felt like he wanted to just disappear.
Jaemin turned over to his stomach, burying his face against the soft fabric of his pillows. His heart ached even more, his wrist wasnât burning anymore but it still left a dull ache in itâs wake. And for once in his life he wasnât covering his soulmate tattoo with his watch or wristbands. Jaeminâs glassy eyes stared at the small tattoo that got him into this big of a mess in the first place as his mind keeps spinning in his head.
The tattoo that was once a bright doodle of a small red balloon floating in the middle of two clouds had now transitioned into a dim crimson red, the white color in the clouds and the bright red color in the balloon were barely visible. Jaemin assumed that was probably the side effects of either the pain killers he took or the tattoo releasing bacteria from the emotional pain in his chest.
Jaemin chuckled to himself, turning his head to see the half empty bottle of pain killers standing innocently on his desk. Laughing lightly to himself at how frustrated he gets whenever the pain wouldnât stop despite taking the maximum dosage. âIâm so stupid.â he mumbled to himself, rubbing his face with his palms in frustration.
On second thought, he couldnât remember the last time he saw your tattoo. Jaeminâs brows furrowed, at the thought. Come to think of it, you had been covering your own tattoo up these past couple months. Either with the matching friendship bracelet he got you for your 16th birthday, joking how you should cover your tattoo with it, hours prior to when your tattoo appeared.Â
You wore it all the time since then. The charms on the bracelet were large enough to cover the small tattoo on your wrist. Were you using the bracelet as an excuse to cover the marks your tattoo left on your skin from everyone else? Was your cheerful demeanor a facade all this time to cover your pain from Jaemin so that Jaemin wouldnât feel guilty for hurting you?
Everything was a mess.
Jaemin wanted this whole problem to just disappear.
He groaned as he sat up from his bed, eyes examining his bedroom. The distant nostalgic sound of both of your laughter echoing in his mind as he recalled the times when you two used to joke around and make each other laugh so hard you had to hold your stomachs. The memory of him flicking your forehead whenever you do something annoying to make him laugh. Pupils staring at the small pebble that sat at the corner of his desk, his mind fluttering back to the time when you were 15.
 âSo I have a present for you.â you giggled, barging into his room and dropping your bag carelessly in the middle of the room. Jaemin looks up from his phone, raising his brow as a smile stretched across his face. âIs it food?â he asked, an eager smile stretching across his face as he watched you pounce on his bed with your arms stretched out like a starfish.Â
You turned to your best friend, giving him a bittersweet smile before letting out an evil, loud, maniac laugh, leaning you head back for a dramatic effect, abruptly turning to Jaemin with a deadpanned expression before letting out a cold emotionless, âno.âÂ
Jaemin frowned, his bottom lip jutting out as he whined. âAnd here I thought youâd finally pay me back for all the peanut butter sandwiches I sacrificed every recess.â he complained under his breath, smacking your backside with one of the pillows behind him. You giggled, sitting up as you watched your best friend pursed his lips at you.
âYou wish, Na Jaemin. Thatâs never going to happen, that I can assure.â you giggled, shaking your head as you snatched the pillow from his hands to lay it on top of your lap. âThen what did you get me?â he asked, a confused frown forming on his lips, leaning his head to the side in curiosity. You smiled simply at him, âclose your eyes, first.â
âWhy?â he eyed you suspiciously, watching as your right arm reached for something inside the pocket of the peach coloured hoodie you were wearing. âI swear if you get me one of those strawberry infused tea that the 6 year old girl from across the street constantly forces innocent bystanders to buy, Iâm going to-â
You let out an incredulous scoff, putting your hand on your chest with an offended frown. âPreposterous!â You gasped dramatically. âI would never make my best friend suffer by buying him a disgusting drink made by a 6 year old who eats play doh for a living!â you exclaimed with an offended tone.
Jaemin gave you an incredulous look, leaning back on the bed with his arms supporting him as he raised a brow a you. âYou literally made me try her special oreo, milo, peanut butter and jam, âexpressoâ a few weeks ago.â he said, wiggling his index and middle fingers when he said âexpressoâ.Â
You gave him an innocent dorky grin in response, âno regrets.â You hissed with a smug smile. Jaemin rolled his eyes at you, âIâm serious, Iâm actually concerned. Knowing you, you probably hired some weird psychic witch to make a voodoo doll of me.â he frowned jokingly. Actually, he was half joking considering you were weird enough to convince him that you were secretly a witch from another dimension.
You giggled, putting the back of your hand on the top of your head as you wailed out dramatically like those people in theaters and soap operas. âOh dear God, Na Jaemin has no faith in his oh-so-amazing best friend! What have their friendship become!â you cried out, scrunching your face as you pretended to cry in front of him, causing Jaemin to reach his hand out to pinch your cheek gingerly.
âI donât think âamazingâ is a word I would use to describe this whole experience of being your friend since diapers.â
Now it was your turn to purse your lips, causing Jaemin to send you a charming wink, rolling your eyes in response. âIs that so? I think itâs time to finally terminate our friendship.â you sniffled, wiping an invisible tear as Jaemin let out a laugh your statement. âIâm kidding, Y/n.â he cooed in a high pitched voice, putting both his palms against you cheek and squishing them together to pucker your lips.
He snickered as you smacked his hands away from your face, âget your hands off of my face, you peasant.â you giggled before sitting up straight and giving him a serious look. âNow. Close your eyes!â you frowned, booping his nose jokingly. Jaemin raised his brow at you, pushing your finger away from the tip of his nose. âFine,â he sighed, closing his eyes slowly.
He felt you tug down the hood of the jacket he was wearing over his head, feeling your palm pat against the fabric against his eyelids .âNo peeking, Jaemin!â you exclaimed eagerly, your hands moving to pull his hands out from behind him. He rolled his eyes with a small chuckle when he felt your fingers pry his own open to spread out his palms.Â
âDid you get me those old squishy stress balls you keep gazing at whenever we go to the mall?â he asked with a soft giggle when he feels you place something small and smooth in his palm. âIâm too broke for that, you know that, Jaemin. Now, open your eyes!â you giggled, he felt the bed sink, signalling you probably moved to lay down.
Jaemin placed the object in his hands in his left hand, his right moving to pull the hood over to the back of his head as he slowly opened his eyes and looks down at what you have placed in his palm. His brows furrowed in confusion at the grey object you had placed in his palm, his head shooting up to look at the cheeky grin displayed on your face.Â
In his palms was a small pebble.
A fucking pebble.
He squinted his eyes at you to see if you were joking, but you just kept giving him the same cheeky grin. You werenât joking in the slightest. You two stared at each other for the next 15 seconds. Your eyes wide as if daring him to speak and complain while his dared yours to explain what level of degeneracy your weirdness has come to.Â
Jaemin clicked his tongue at you.Â
âYou got me a rock?â he deadpanned after a pregnant pause. You were on your stomach, gazing up at him with your face in your palms with a chesire grin spread across your face. âFirst of all, itâs a pebble. Second, itâs not just a pebble, itâs a pebble with-â Jaemin watched you lean over to flip the pebble in his hands around.Â
âA picture of Doraemon!â you exclaimed cheerfully. Jaemin stared at the small cheap sticker of Doraemon winking at him, then stared back at you with a blank expression. He bit his lip to keep himself from bursting out laughing, watching you bite back your own laughs. âYou got to be joking me. Please tell me youâre joking,â Jaemin threw his head back laughing, placing the pebble on his bedsheets in front of him as he applauded and laughed at the same time.
You shook your head as you wheezed, laughing loudly as you smacked your fists against the pillow you were laying on. âOh you WISH I was joking. Hell no, dude, youâre gonna keep a rock as a momento of my iconic existence.â you shook your head, wiping the tears from your eyes as Jaemin stared at you incredulously.
âWhat the hell am I suppose to do with a rock? Also whatâs with the sticker? It looks like some weird omen.â Jaemin snickered, he really couldnât stop laughing at how stupid this situation looks. You shrugged innocently, giving him a teasing grin. âThe sticker adds flavor to the pebble. I couldnât find any permanent markers to decorate it with.â you shrugged, causing Jaemin to bawl out laughing, throwing his head back.
âRemind me why Iâm still friends with you?â he chuckled. You puckered up your lips gingerly, âbecause you just married me.â you winked, causing Jaemin to furrow his brows in confusion. âHave you been eating to many candies again, y/n?â he asked, placing the back of his palm against your forehead. You huffed, slapping his hand away, eliciting soft giggles from your best friend.
âYou accepted my gift, that means weâre married!â
âHow so? What kind of weird nonsense have you discovered this time?â
âHush, this is actually a really cute fact.â
Jaemin sighed, nodding his head as he gestured you to continue on. You grinned gingerly, âDid you know that when penguins propose to their mates, they give their mates a pebble? Like some sort of wedding ring!âÂ
There was a pregnant pause. Jaemin just giving you an incredulous smile, his cheeks flushed pink as he wonders how adorable this moment could possibly get. âIs this your way of saying you want to marry me or is this your way of calling me short?â Jaemin teased, his sweet wide smile never leaving his face as he leaned over towards you.
You raised your brows in surprise, a bright pink tint appearing on the soft skin of your cheeks. âWelp, this clearly backfired.â you muttered under your breath, causing Jaemin to let out an amused laugh. âWhat were you even trying to do here?â he exclaimed, stretching his arm out to gingerly pinch both of your pink cheeks as you whined out in embarrassment.
âI just want to pull a little harmless prank to make you blush. I clearly didnât think this through.â you said, gripping his wrist as you try to pry his hands off of your cheeks. Jaemin giggled, his heart fluttering. âYouâre getting weirder day by day.â He mumbled to himself, shaking his head profusely at you.
âShut up, I thought it was cute and funny at the same time.âÂ
âWould you marry me though?â
âWhat?â
Jaemin gulped, shaking his head when he realised he said that out loud. âWould you marry me though if we had the chance?â he asked shyly, rubbing the back of his neck shyly with a bashful smile. You leaned your head to the side, pondering for a small moment, attempting to ignore the heat rushing through your cheeks. âWould you?â you mused, chuckling at your best friend who just gave you a dopey grin.
Jaemin shrugged, âI donât see why not. Itâs better than marrying someone you met because of a stupid birthmark.â he smiled innocently. You rolled your eyes at this. âYour resentment towards the soulmate system will always be an unattractive point. I hate to be the person who blows a candle, only to have the same lame soulmate mark as you.â you joked, causing Jaemin to smack you with the pillow beside him.
âRude!â he exclaimed with a laugh. âWhat if you were that unfortunate soul?â he asked with a giggle, causing you to frown. âWell screw that, Iâll peel the damn mark off of my skin.â you shot back, giggling in between words as Jaemin pouted at your words, pursing his lips in response. âWouldnât that be ironic, though? Weâve been friends since diapers, Iâd be damned if I have to spend the rest of my life with you.â you commented.
Jaemin stopped laughing, leaning back on his arms as he took a moment to think about it. âBut wouldnât it be better that way though? Like, you wouldnât have to go through that awkward introduction phase when we could just move on to the honeymoon phase.â
You scoffed. âIâd rather barf in my cereal.â
You let out a loud âoofâ when Jaemin tackled you against the sheets to smack you with his pillow repeatedly.
Jaemin chuckled to himself at the memory, smiling sadly at how ironic yet cliche this whole ordeal was. He walked over to his desk, picking up the pebble from the space in between his books and stationary. He tossed the pebble in the air, catching it in his other hand. His eyes pausing at the old Doraemon sticker on the pebble, half of Doraemonâs face had disappeared. (Jaeminâs weird desires to peel things off had kicked it when he was tossing around the pebble in boredom)
His thumb glazed over the sticker, causing it to fall off of the pebble and to the carpet floor. âShit!â Jaemin cursed, kneeling down to find the Doraemon sticker. âY/Nâs gonna kill me,â he thought to himself with a chuckle as he picked up the sticker, it took him a few seconds for him to realize that you two werenât friends anymore. âRight, she probably doesnât care about some stupid sticker anymore.â he frowned, sighing heavily.
He gently placed the sticker back on the pebble despite the fact that it couldnât stick anymore, placing the pebble back on his desk as he stood back up on his feet, He looks back down when he felt his wallet slip out of the pocket of his jacket when he stood up. His heavy heart weighing down on him when he looks down at his wallet.
His wallet had fallen open, revealing the photo of you two when you were still kids slipped into the transparent pocket of his wallet. Jaemin picked up his wallet in between his fingers, his heart dropping to the pit of his stomach as he collapsed back on the mattress of his bed. He tucked his arm under his head as he turned over to his side, never keeping his eyes off of the picture in his wallet.
The picture was slightly blurry. Baby Jaemin was attacking you with his latest transformers action figure, his lips puckered to make dramatic sound effects. Baby you had your face scrunched in laughter, a hand outstretched to shove him away by his shoulder. You had a barbie doll in your free hand, protecting your barbie from his transformers figure.
Baby Jaeminâs cap was floating in mid air, having been knocked off of his head when you threw your dollâs hairbrush at the perfect moment. The one who took the picture was your grandmother, who truly believed that you two were soulmates since the dawn of time. Jaeminâs frown deepened at the thought of your beloved grandma. How she would use any given time to take at least one picture of the two of you together. How she would walk in the middle of your play time to five you two some cookies or treats she made.
 âGrandma, whatâs a soulmate?â you asked in the middle of your play date with Jaemin. Your grandma smiled simply, sighing as she leaned her cheek against her palm. âSoulmate, huh?â she repeated as Jaemin sat beside you in front of her with a cookie in his between hands. âA soulmate is like..â your grandmother paused, eyeing the two of you as you sat side by side with cookies in your hands as you obediently listened to your grandmotherâs words.
âTo me, a soulmate is like a best friend. Itâs the one person who knows you better than anyone else.â she explained briefly. âMore than your own family?â Jaemin asked, chewing in between words, causing your grandma to chuckle. âAlmost more than your own family,â she winked, grabbing a cookie of her own out of the container filled with chocolate chip cookies.
âItâs also someone who makes you a better person in life, because most of the times, they inspire you to be a better person. A soulmate is someone you can carry with you forever.âÂ
âForever? Wouldnât they get bored?â You asked with an innocent tilt of your head. Your grandmother smiled briefly, âwell, would you get bored of playing with Jaemin, Y/n?â she asked, causing the both of you to look at each other. You shook your head with a bright smile, ânever! Jaemin is my best friend!â you exclaimed, causing Jaemin to let out a loud cheer. âAnd y/n is mine!â he exclaimed, wrapping his tiny arms around your figure as he gingerly pressed his cheek against yours, causing you to giggle.Â
âThatâs good. Though, a soulmate will always support you and believe in you. They will stay by your side no matter what. Theyâll always be there to make you smile.â your grandmother explained. âDoes that mean a soulmate is someone who can make you happy all the time?â y/n asked, eliciting a soft chuckle from your grandma who just nodded simply.Â
âExactly my dear!â she exclaimed. âGross,â Jaemin teased, scrunching his face in disgust at the thought. Your grandma chuckled, leaning down to fondly ruffle Jaeminâs hair. âJae, you shouldnât say things like that. Iâm sure youâll understand and change your mind when youâre older and more mature.â she spoke gently, making Jaemin scoff lightly, crossing his arms stubbornly.
âNo I wonât! Just you watch, Grandma! Iâm not going to have a soulmate when I grow up!â he exclaimed with a huff. You giggled as you hugged your barbie doll to your chest, âwell I do! It sounds like a forever friend!âÂ
Jaemin raised a brow at you, tilting his head in confusion. âA forever friend?â he asked. You nodded eagerly, pulling your barbie doll away from your chest to play with itâs bendable arms as you continued to explain. âA friend thatâs going to be with you forever and ever like Mr. Snuggles!â you exclaimed, pointing at the big teddy bear leaning against Jaeminâs power ranger action figure.
âI wish I could meet my soulmate now!â you exclaimed with a bright giggle. âIâm sure theyâll be the nicest person ever!â
At this point, Jaemin couldnât hold back his tears. His heart aching like never before, but this time he didnât bother grabbing the bottle of pain killers near him. He puts his wallet on his nightstand as he sniffled, his heart overwhelmed with different emotions all at one. Guilt. Anger. Regret.
Jaemin furiously wiped the tears from his face, his frustration growing by the second. âFuck!â he cried out, sobs coming out of his throat as tears continuously cascade down his cheeks. He turned over to his stomach, burying his face in the soft fabric to muffle his cries and sobs.
They say karma hits back at the best of times. It was no different with Na Jaemin. Like what your grandma had said, heâd change his mind of his perception of this whole soulmate system. There was no point in fighting against fate. How could he be so selfish as to let the people he cared about get hurt? How could he be so foolish to take your kindness for granted?
Jaeminâs eyes screw shut tightly, trying to stop the flashbacks going through his head. He knew he couldnât stop the nostalgic memories from flooding through his mind. After all, you two shared every moment of your lives with each other that it would be preposterous for the world to not make you two soulmates. This is what he wanted right? He wanted you to go away.
Now, he just wanted his best friend back. He wanted you to give him cookies again every week. He wanted you to sit next to him during every class you had together and make weird jokes or express abstract opinions of a certain topic. He missed those times when you two would go to the arcade to get the biggest stuffed animal in all the crane games you could find and play some Mario Kart afterwards.
He missed how you would sneakily wear his hoodie in the middle of class because you âwere coldâ or âforgot to bring yoursâ. He missed blasting music loudly from his car radio as he drives you both to school, headbanging aggressively to the beat of whatever song was playing on the radio. The way you would comfort him by buying him desserts or cookies from the nearest bakery whenever he received a scolding from Coach or the former Team Captain.
Jaemin paused, remembering your bright smile when you stood in front of Renjun. That genuine smile you always used whenever he was in your line of vision. He sighed at the vivid memory, He moved so he was laying on his back, sniffling back his tears as his mind spun even more as he couldnât help but think that maybe Donghyuck was right.
Whenever he was a jerk, Renjun was always there to comfort you. He was always there to help you whenever you were on the brink of failing a certain subject while Jaemin would always ditch you for practice or to hang out with Jeno and Haechan. Maybe it would be better if Renjun was your soulmate instead of Jaemin.
Heâll make you way more happier than he ever could. Jaeminâs heart clenched against his chest at the thought of you being in a romantic relationship with someone else. Though, who was he to complain if you and Renjun were secretly into each other? He knew it was very unlikely for a someone to fall for someone else thatâs not their soulmate, but it wasnât completely impossible for one to do so.
All that you ever wanted was to have someone by your side for the rest of your life to make you smile when youâre at your worst. Jaemin couldnât even do that back when he broke your music box. What was the point in asking you to forgive him now if you wouldnât even look him in the eyes without giving him an expression equivalent to what an injured puppy would at their owner?
You deserved someone like Renjun.Â
Maybe Hyuck was right. You were cursed to be born with a soulmate like him. You were cursed to have the same stupid tattoo as he did on your wrist. You didnât deserve to suffer that much emotional pain for such a long time for his sake. You didnât deserve all the pain he put you through. And he knew he didnât deserve to have you in his life.
Jaemin spent the rest of his day crying his eyes out. Finally letting out the pent up emotions that his actions had caused him, letting his heart scream out in pain as it tries to release the tension that came with longing for the feeling of holding your delicate heart in the palms of his hands. At that single moment, he never wished for anything so bad as he did when he wished he could start this whole soulmate ordeal over again. Â

pspspps hey babes!!! i promise i'm working on your request byt i write slow sjdkfhksajhdf, but lemme send you a request in exchange!! âYouâre competitive and so am I, and itâs going to lead to a fight.â with either Satan or Mammon, NSFW đ, and pronouns are they/them :))) thank you love you bby
@gatchagay MAARRRSSSS đđđđ I had so much fun writing this!! So initially this was going to bed angsty and then fluffy but then I saw the NSFW and had to scrap that idea bc then it'd be SUPER LONG but I'm really happy with how this turned out and I hope you do too!!
Without further ado, here's prompt 72 (that rhymes đ) oh! And the prompt list can be found here
Warnings: smut! 2nd person Reader POV, Mammon dirty talking, slight choking, skin biting but no mentions of blood đđ
72. "Youâre competitive and so am I, and itâs going to lead to a fight" NSFW with Mammon
"Oh man did ya see the way my smile shines on the RAD newsletter cover?" Mammon's ego had been particularly stroked today since the aforementioned newsletter hit the stands at RAD. His face seemed to follow you everywhere and he was adamant at making sure you knew.
"Careful there tiger, you're starting to sound like Asmo." You teased and flipped the page to read the next article. The both of you were lounging around in one of the student study rooms that were littered around the campus waiting for your next class to start.
"I'm serious Y/N! The pictures from that shoot are some of my best yet!" Your eye twitched in irritation. He'd been droning on like this for hours and was currently plucking away at your last strands of patience.
"Mammon," you closed the magazine and placed it down on the table, turning in your seat to face him. "Yes, the pictures turned out excellent but do you think maybe they used a form of editing software to touch up the shots? Like editing the lighting and smoothing out the colors?" He frowned and you felt your heart twinge a bit from the blunt question. And then he pouted and you held back a snort.
"Oi you're just jealous you don't get paid to have your pictures taken. Modeling, it's a tough job! Ya gotta know how to pose for the camera." You resisted the temptation to roll your eyes. Picking the magazine back up, you resumed your reclined position by kicking your legs back up to rest on the chair next to you.
"I bet it's not even that hard," you started, "why, I bet that anything you can do, I can do better. I can do anything better than you." The words rolled off your tongue but more as a playful tease, lyrics from a song you'd heard awhile ago, words not to be taken seriously. But the mood in the room shifted, your mouth suddenly felt dry. You heard him shift in his seat, the soft clatter as he placed his sunglasses on the table seemed to echo.
"No you can't," he responded in a somewhat menacing retort but,
"Yes I can," you couldn't help but answer back like you'd heard in the song.
"No you can't," his voice was getting louder but not because he was raising his voice, no, he was leaning over the table trying to catch your attention.
"Yes I can," but your eyes were wide, glued to the page in front of you. The newsletter was getting stuck to your warmed palms and you licked your lips.
"No you can't," if you'd looked, you would have seen his lips curl in a snarl. How dare you, a human, think themselves better than The Great Mammon. He already had to deal with his brothers thinking they were better than him, there was no way he'd let a human think so too.
"Yes I can, yes I can." The last part of your response came out barely louder than a whisper as a shadow crossed over your magazine. You swallowed a lump in your throat as you lifted your head, craning your neck back to see Mammon's face looming over yours. You shrunk down in your seat and laughed nervously, sending him a sheepish smile.
In an instant, Mammon was holding you up against a wall, his hand around your throat and knee pressed in between your legs helping to hold you up. He laughed as your nails dug into his hand but he pulled back slightly and your lungs filled back up with air. The pupils of his eyes were narrowing, his fangs elongating, the smile on his lips anything but innocent.
"Anything you can be, I'm already greater. Try as you might, I'm greater than you." His chest rumbled as a growl interlaced with his words. You wanted to laugh at the irony that his words matched the song lyrics but the claws around your neck and the pupils staring into your soul quelled the amusement you'd found in this situation.
He hummed in thought as his face inched closer to yours, his eyes looking down at you with his height advantage and pressed his leg harder against your groin. Your eyes fluttered closed as he lowered his face to press his nose against the skin under your ear, listening to your blood pulse in your veins. You mewled, rolling your hips against his thigh as his hot tongue lapped at your skin.
"You're competitive," you admitted, licking your lips, "and so am I and it's going to lead to a fight." You flicked your eyes back to his and pleaded, "I don't want to fight with you Mammon." His fangs bit into your skin, effectively cutting you off with a yelp.
"You shoulda thought about that before challenging The Great Mammon and now I want to hear you say it."
"Say what?"
"Tell me I'm the greatest there is." Of course that's what he'd ask of you.
"...you're the greatest there is." The bratty side of you wanting to fight back but your logical side yelled that this wasn't the time for that so you conceded.
"Mmm," he paused in thought. "Tell me that I, the Great Mammon, am the greatest at fuckin you." His hand tightened around your neck and his other hand undid the clasp of your trousers and shot down past your underwear and started rubbing you, working your sex along with his thigh.
His mouth crashed into yours, shoving his tongue past your lips as his fingers picked up their pace rubbing against you, your slick coating his fingers making your toes curl from the pleasure. Your hands flew to his own pants as you fumbled trying to undo his. Mammon pulled back to laugh and you whined from the loss of heat but cried out as he tore off your pants and hoisted you up, your back thumped against the wall. His nails digging into your thighs urged you to wrap your legs around his waist and he pushed up your uniform to tug and pinch your nipples. He shoved his fingers into your mouth and you moaned tasting yourself on his skin and lapped at the digits obediently.
"There ya go Y/N, get em all nice and wet for me, cause I know how to fuck you." His words cascaded like waves over your arousal, you clenched your thighs in response and he laughed against your neck. Pulling his fingers out, he reached down and started working to stretch you out. It was rough and it stung but he soon started curling his fingers inside you, abusing that spot that had you panting and writhing against him, begging for more.
"Ya gotta say it Y/N," a shit-eating grin plastered on his face as he teased your entrance with the tip of his cock. Your mind in a lust-induced fog struggled to recall what he was asking for. He only laughed at your confusion.
"Ya gotta tell me," he pushed the tip of his cock into you and kept it there, "that the Great Mammon is the greatest at fucking you." You groaned in frustration as he held your hips in place preventing you from moving at all.
Making a show of it, you ran your tongue over your lips and looked up at Mammon with hooded eyelids and cried out, knowing full well he liked it when you got loud with him. "The Great Mammon is the hng, greatest at, ahh, fucking me." The demon purred as he sheathed the rest of himself inside you, his teeth biting your shoulder and growled against your skin. Your body felt like it was on fire, the pain and sheer ecstasy from the penetrations mixing together forcing you to cry out.
"You, ahh, take my cock so, mnnn, well Y/N," Mammon groaned as he waited for you to adjust to him, his tongue lapping at the blood that pooled from his bite. He kissed his way of your neck along your jaw, the corner of your mouth, and finally on your lips. It was his way of being sweet while waiting for you to adjust. Your grip on his arms loosened as the tip of his cock brushed against that spot inside you again and you moaned, rolling your hips to feel it again.
"You're ready, ha, so soon huh?" He laughed, pulling himself out to the tip and thrusted back in again, his eyes rolling back as he started out with a pace slow enough for you to get comfortable. "You're such a, fuck, needy human, practically, ngh, begging for me to fffuck ya." Your eyes cut to his in a glare, a retort on your tongue dying as he snapped his hips into yours.
"You're so, ha, fuckin tight, grippin me an shit, fuck, so hot," curses intertwined with his moans as he picked up the pace, fucking you into the wall. Your hips tried to keep up but the pace was too fast, too hot. Your mouth hung open, moaning and strewing curses as he rammed into that spot over and over again, stars dancing across your vision.
His hand moved to touch you, stimulating your sex as he kept his deliriously fast pace. The fact that you were both in a study room at RAD was the furthest from your mind as he fucked you into oblivion. You didn't even feel the drool running down your chin much less the door opening and slamming shut.
"Pl-nngghhh, please do-haaa- don't stop, Ma, fuuuck, Mammon" your words garbled but your walls pulsating around him told him you were close.
"Fuck, you're gonna cum for me baby," his voice was higher, his pace becoming erratic as his fingers dug into your hips, moving you against his thrusting. Pulling you away from the wall, he angled your hips back just slightly and hammered away.
Your voice barely choked out that you were cumming but your legs locked in place, your mouth open in a silent scream as the tightly wound coil snapped, your walls convulsing around his cock as he fucked you through your orgasm. His nails dug into your back, holding you close to him as his hips slowed their pace, bucking deep into you as he came. The heat of his seed spread through you and you both rode through your after-glow, bodies twitching as feeling came back to your limbs.
Mammon pressed his body into yours back up against the wall, using it to hold both of you up as you both fought to catch your breath. You exchanged lazy kisses and he pulled out of you and he pulled a small towel out of his jacket pocket. He laughed at your arched brow.
"I always gotta be prepared with you around," you snorted a laugh, he kissed your cheek, and you stuck your tongue out at him.
"'S not my fault," you were cut off by a yawn and Mammon bent to wipe you and himself clean with the towel before chucking it in the trash. "The Great Mammon is the greatest at fucking me." You laughed heartily as his cheeks flushed, reverting back to his tsundere demeanor.
Pulling your pants back up, you smiled and waited for him to sit back down before plopping into his lap, wrapping your arms around his neck. Mammon laced his arms around you and nestled his head on your chin, looking over your shoulder as you pulled out your DDD to catch up on notifications. You both flushed a deep red when you saw a message from Lucifer, a picture of your earlier activities embedded within the message accompanied by the words:
"Since you both seem to be all caught up with your school work, please stop by my office for additional assignments. This is not a request."
You sprang up from his lap, wincing as the sting coursed through you. Mammon slapped your ass and bent over, offering you a piggy back ride as an apology. Securing your arms around his neck, you both made your way back to the House of Lamentation talking about what punishments the eldest had in mind for you both but eventually talked about promises for more rounds to come later that day.

âEZ it's okay, don' worry. I understand itâ.
âI'm truly sorry, (Y/N). I swear to Godâ.
âEzekiel. It's okay. Club goes firstâ.
âI promise we'll celebrate your birthday as soon as I'm back. I promise. I swearâ.
âHey, boy scout! We're leaving! Stop bitchin'â.
âYeah! Give me a second!â He replies. âI have to leave you⊠I'm sorryâ.
âGo, EZ. Call me when you're backâ.
âI willâ.
You can't lie. You're a little upset because he's not going to be in your birthday for first time in seven years. You met him at the jail in Stockton, when you were finishing your studies, working as an auxiliary nurse. You're best friends since then, and it's an special occasion. But at least, you have your other friends to celebrate with.
When they cover your eyes, inside the car, with a bandanna you know it's going to be a crazy night. You don't know anything about your birthday party, and you don't want to think about what they have been able to prepare. You just wait in silence to the car to stop. And when it does and Monique helps you to go out of it, you hear some murmurs claiming for silence. She guides you with both hands on your shoulders, until you're in the middle of the dark.
âOk, wait! Don't take it off yet!â She says, listening how her steps go away from you. âOk! NOW!â
You break in laugh, pulling down the bandanna, until you notice where you are.
âHAPPY BIRTHDAY!â
The whole crew is in the front yard of the clubhouse, reunited with your friends from work and your housemates. Your eyes are filling with tears, watching EZ running towards you to lift you up on his arms. You hug him tightly, wrapping his waist with your legs.
âFuck, you're so dumb! I thought you weren't gonna believe meâ.
He's laughing, infecting you, while he covers your face with a lot of kisses all around.
âHappy birthday, enfermeraâ.
âYou fucking idiot!â You say pouting and hitting one of his shoulders, when your feet are back on the ground.
âEh! Don' need to be this aggressive, just because it's your birthday!â
âI hate youâŠâ
âHey, club doesn't go firstâ. He whispers right in your ear, holding you tightly. âDo you remember what I said once, ah?â
âYou and me, foreverâ.
âThat's right. And now⊠let's enjoy the nightâ.
So you do. There are a lot of meat that Felipe brought, latin music flooding the crowded yard, beers going from one side to another, your friends dancing with the Mayans. Bishop has ask you for a dance. That man is like your father since you put a foot in his club, and he's pretty good with salsa. But when the song changes to another more sensual, the president pushes you into EZ. He's sitting next to Angel and Gilly, watching you the whole time with that charming smile he's always wearing when you're together.
Your hips moving to the beat, letting yourself go without worries, with sensual and delicate moves. You know how much the skirt of your dress is provoking him, because of the obvious romantic and sexual tension between both since ever, always keeping a secure distance to not fuck up your friendship. But you have had more tequila than you can afford. He reclines on the chair, enjoying the show, while his brothers speak oblivious to the situation. Licking his lips, EZ chuckles supporting the beer over a thigh rubbing his chin while you come closer.
âI want you to dance with meâ. You say offering a hand that he doesn't doubt to grab.
Leaving away his drink, EZ lets you guide him to the middle of the makeshift dance floor. His chest stuck on your back, moving your waist to the rhythm of the song, and your arms raised up, back to his nape. His breathing colliding against your neck, following every move so close you can hear his heartbeat. His scent filling your lungs, his lips caressing your skin. You don't even know which song is playing, because dancing with him is in the only thing you're focusing on.
Closing your eyes, you feel his hands going down slowly by your sides to reach the folds of the skirt, raising it some inches, dragging gently his fingers above your skin bristling it.
âFuck⊠Stop playing with ma' mindâ. He begs you leaving a soft kiss on your neck.
You just laugh tangling your hands with his, turning to face him, too close of his lips. Almost touching them.
âNoâ.
âI hate youâ. He mutters placing his hands on your lower back, smirking so naturally that makes your legs tremble a little.
âYou kill me every time you smileâ.
âReallyâŠ? Then, erase it from my faceâ. He challenges you with a too sensual hoarsely tone.
You kiss him. No doubts doing it. His lips tastes so good, that almost dizzy you. You can feel the same necessity he has to happen, as you have. Many years enduring it. And it's finally happening. Your fingers caressing the back of his head slowly, contrary to how your mouth works against his. Your tongue finding the other so desperate you don't mind the shortness of air. You know that everybody is looking at you sideways, not wanting to interrupt the moment, and you don't even care.
âFuck⊠now I have two birthday presents to give youâ. EZ chuckles, touching his nose with yours in a dearly gesture.
âAnd what are you waitin' for, Ezekiel?â
The Mayan twists his head, biting his tongue with a naughty smile drawn on his lips. He has that look on his face he could use after killing someone and before adopting a puppy from the dog kennel. Now it also means he's going to show you how much he desires you. Holding your hand, he guides you to the clubhouse, under some claps and whistles from the guys. Of course they felt the tension, since ever, and they also are like five years old. Bad combination. They stop making noise when you cross the hall, right to the dorms.
You know pretty well that room. It isn't the first time you sleep there, after a long day at the hospital, a nap on a day off⊠Always with EZ. He closes the door when you two are already inside, pushing you with his body to the bed and his hands cupping your face in. He's on top of you, one of his legs among yours, on of yours between his rubbing the erection under his jeans. His tongue fighting yours desperate, while his calloused hands go below the white dress, dragging them on your thighs making you moan low. His fingers reach the waistband of your panties stretching it slightly, biting his lips with your attentive orbs over his.
âJoder, joder, joderâŠâ He curses in spanish. âFuck⊠stop me⊠Please, stop meâ.
Yes, you think that could break your friendship, but it's the fear talking. Not reality.
âEZ, I want you. Since everâ. You sentence, leaning up to catch out his breath by kissing him, too hungry for his lips.
He doesn't need anything else to put down your panties, until finding the floor. His right hand ventures among your thighs and the heat that emanates from there, growling in your neck when he reaches your center.
âShit, babyâŠâ He sighs sliding a finger inside you, making you gasp low right on his ear. âShould be illegal be this wetâŠâ
âAnd it's your faultâ. You quickly highlight, biting his lobe.
EZ wants to enjoy it, to make it slowly for you. But he has wait for too long. Digging his finger among your folds, rough and deep, he rubs his hardness against your knee anxious for feeling some friction. And you're not going to keep containing yourself, using your natural tone of voice to moan, not caring a fuck if the crew and your friends hear you. You want to show him how bad you need him. A second finger gets curled inside you, exploring your wetness masterfully, while his mouth devours yours with the taste of tequila driving you crazy.
But he needs more. So you do.
Much to your regret, after some seconds, he pulls them away to take off your dress above your head, showing him your bare breasts. Ezekiel is fascinated, having you naked when he's fully dressed, under his mercy and his desires.
âYou're so fuckin' beautiful, babyâ. He growls before catching one of your nipples with his teeth, stretching it up some inches before sucking it gently.
You're squirming below his caresses, spreading your legs to accommodate him between them. Now you can feel how hard he is, thrusting you with the fabric of his jeans rubbing your clit so delicious you could cum like that. Your hands takes off the kutte leaving it by a side of the mattress, taking the advantage of doing the same with his shirt. Ezekiel is so hot, you can't deny that fact, starting to lose control. His long fingers undone his belt and his jeans, undressing himself as fast as you need it.
âPut on my kutte, baby. I wanna see you wearing it and riding meâ. He whispers against your lips, biting them dearly, watching him sideways jerking himself off.
You don't say anything sitting up on the bed to do it. And you have to recognize that looks good on you. Eze rest his back against the wall, after throwing away the pillow to get comfortable, looking you while he continues stroking his cock. You can see the veins in his arms marking the toasted skin, licking your lips, being one of your weak points in life. His hands and his arms. Crawling on top of his lap, he plays with his glans among your folds, showing you the smile that makes you feel more wet.
âFuck, baby⊠Look at youâ. He soughs, while the tip of your tongue tours up his chin and mouth. âTake it all, my Mayan. It's all yoursâ.
That sounds so good, drowning your legs down, digging his dick inside you.
âShit, Ezekiel! You're so bigâŠâ
âDo you like it, ah?â
âYes⊠baby. YesâŠâ
âRide that big cock, cariño. C'mon⊠Ride meâ. He begs you, kissing your neck with short ones licking your skin.
Your hips start to bounce his hardness, discovering you can go deeper as much as you spread your legs. His hands nailed on your waist with both thumbs pressing your abdomen, keeping your eyes with his and parted lips. His erection hits your soul every time you jump by a frenetic and constant dance of pleasure, feeling his teeth biting your collarbone and his tongue drawing some bruises above it.
âShit⊠just like that, mi vida⊠justamente asĂ. Such a good girl...â
Ez's voice lost in what you make him feel is everything for you, claiming for more, begging for your warm pussy welcoming him delighted. He creates a road of bites, starting under your chin, sucking it slowly until he reaches your mouth. His tongue explores it finding yours in a filthy and dirty kiss, slapping your ass without expecting, thrice with part of his strength. Arching your anatomy and leaning your head back softly you let your heavy moans flood the dorm, before he turns you over the bed. With Ezekiel on top of you, he grabs your thighs to open your legs as much as you can handle it.
âYou wan'me deeper, cariño?â
âAnd faster⊠Fuckin' kill me, Ezâ.
âCan you keep your legs opened for me, baby girl, ah?â
âYeah⊠I promise, daddyâ. You nod, getting desperate because he's moving his body to slow.
One of his big callous hands grabs tightly your throat, surrounding your back with the free one. And he does it. He goes deeper. Deliciously deep, with his abdomen hitting your wetted folds once and again, harder than the last. You're almost out of air crying out his name and some spanish curses every time he pounds you, maintaining your gaze burning in lust and pleasure. He wants to kiss you more than anything in the world, but he also wants to see your face and all the gestures your draw in it unconsciously, because of his cock thrusting your g-spot.
Biting his lower lip, Ez nails his knees on the mattress without pulling his dick out of you, but raising your trembling legs to his shoulders before lie down on top of you again. This position is new for you, but after the first push you know it's going to be one of your favorites.
âWan'me to make you cum, mi amor?â
âPlease, daddy, pleaseâŠâ
He chuckles giving you a smooth kiss, tangling your hands on his forearms. The rhythm becomes speedy and intensive, feeling the tickles in your low belly as you start to cry out rolling your eyes in white, when the orgasm wraps your body under his grip. He keeps going with every pound, seeing how red is part of his chest and neck because of the effort, starting to growl when he finds your lips again in a needy kiss begging you to hold for him just a few more seconds. You could wait for EZ all your life.
âCan I⊠cum inside you?â He asks you as well as he can, somewhat exhausted, close to the edge.
âFuck⊠to bring another Reyes?â
He can't help but break into laughs, stopping his moves, as you do. The laughters floods the room for a second, imagining how bad could be for the world, but how good could be for you two. Of course, you've never talked about it. But, having a family together? You're in. And Ez is totally in too.
âLet's set the world on fire, mi vidaâ. He chuckles, lowering your legs to his waist to pound you again.
His body digging into your legs with somekind of fury, pinching your ass in the meantime of his cock punches your pussy without nonstop. He was so close, he can't even expect his warm jizz completely filling you with a hoarse and throaty moan, drilling your ears.
âShit, babyâŠâ
He falls deadbeat on your chest, whilst your fingers caressing the back of his neck, getting a little wet because of the sweat your bodies are wrapped in. Slowly pulling himself out, inside of your legs, he kisses a little tired your lips.
There's no hall of shame when you come back to the crowded yard, after having a short shower together, sitting on EZ's chair by you on his lap. Angel brings you a beer with pursed lips in a smile, not needing to use any words to make you know how proud he feels of you finally being his sister-in-law. He cheers your drink with his, before sitting again on his own chair. Resting your left temple on Ezekiel's shoulder, you have a sip of yours getting comfy against his body. His hand touring your thighs gently, joining the talk between his friends like if nothing happened seconds ago, taking pleasure of having you so, so close.
And you can't help, seeing him smile, but grabbing his chin with two fingers to lean him down so you can kiss him again. You feel like an addict, and by the way he has to drag his hand on your skin, he is too.
âI'm⊠assuming you wanna be my girlâ. He mutters caressing your nose with the tip of his.
âWell, I need a Reyes to handle with a baby oneâ.
He chuckles shaking his head and closing both eyes for a while.
âWould you⊠really like it? The idea of having a baby with an ex-con, part of a motorbike clâ?â
âThe idea of having a family with my intelligent, handsome, and super interesting bestfriend? Yes, Ezekiel. I would love itâ.
âYou forgot to say âbest chef in the worldââ.
âAnd best loverâ.
âMy ego es happy right nowâ.
âGood, that's one of my missionsâ.
âTe amoâ. He whispers, hearing a loud âawâ coming from Bishop, Tranq and Taza. The oldest with the most childish minds of all.
You laugh loud curling your legs above your boyfriend, hugging you tightly and filling your face with kisses.

Happy Father's Day Part 3
Summary: 3/3 Well, its the last part.
Warning: Sad, Mentions Death.
Word Count: 2269
"Harry? " I answer the phone.
"It's not Harry but glad you know your numbers." that high pitch annoying ass voice squeals. Rubbing my stomach, the baby's in go position and any day now my oven will be done baking. And of course, this bitch is answering his phone.
"Well bye-bye just thought you should know where he was at. " In the background, I hear Harry's voice going on about something so it must be true. Hanging up I sigh letting the hot tears roll down my cheeks. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I blame myself really, I let him back into my life and this doesn't surprise me. I gotta pee.
Waddling over to the bathroom door a gasp leaves my mouth feeling the surge of liquids fall between my legs. Holy shit. My water broke! Fuck gotta go. Thankful my bag was already in the car. Harry had insisted once I hit the 36-week mark claiming Styles's are either early or fashionably late.
Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. My knuckles turning white as I grasp the wheel. Nope, I'm not pushing anything out of my vagina. Can't do it. I refuse.
The contraction going away after a few brief moments of completely unreasonable pain. Dialing the numbers, I know by second nature, thankfully she picks up on the fourth ring.
"I don't think you should drive y/n"
" Just call 911. I'm almost there! " Gemma ecstatically shouts. She's just like her brother, "Where's Harrold? "
I put the seatbelt on and wince. It's just 28 minutes I can do this. "He's with his whore."
I can hear an audible gasp, "he wouldn't he's so excited for Athena"
"Well I just called him and she answered. " I grunt keeping my eyes on the two lanes ahead of me. Fuck I hate merging lanes people don't know how to drive.
"I'll be at the hospital as soon as possible but my phones gonna-" the line went dead. She did say she was on like 10% oh well.
I can do this just focus y/n. "Hear that baby girl we're almost there, hang on okay Hunny. " I say as a reminder to myself that soon I'll be leaving with another human with me.
6 miles to go that's what I'm talking about, another sharp pain spreads throughout my abdomen while waiting for the light to turn green. "OH COME ON. FOR FUCKS SAKE!" they're getting closer by the minute. Shit. Arriving at a four-way intersection. I'm relieved to be at a red light, the contractions are longer and much more frequent. "Almost there Athena, this is the last light and a straight shot from there."
Abruptly my car is jerked forward with a sharp impact pushing to the oncoming lights. All I see are lights from both directions colliding with my 3,000-pound piece of metal. Sounds of shattering glass and sirens are the last thing I hear before it all fades to black.
||||||||||||||||
Harry's POV
"Has anyone seen Mr. Style's phone?" The helpful aid asked around the dressing room. I could've sworn I put it down for a moment. Y/n could go into labor any minute now and how I am supposed to know. Fuck. I'm stupid.
I was supposed to be here to perform and list nominees and then go back home to y/n. I can't wait to propose to her, she's all I could ever want and she's giving me the most wonderful gift I could ever ask for. Running a hand through my damp hair, the lights really build a sweat, I hear a familiar voice. "Looking for this lover? " she asks slipping my phone into my pocket.
"Good luck at home. " she smiles and winks. Before I could question it she walks away.
Looking down at the device my heart skips a beat, I have 146 missed calls. And I've been gone for 5 hours. Seeing Gemma's name on the screen again I swipe to answer.
"Hell-"
"Harry," she says sniffling.
"Gemma what's wrong? did I miss it? Oh my god I hope not"
"I think it would be best if you came now Harry." she breaks her voice cracking.
"Gem what?"
"Listen Harry, she needs you right now so please." she cries. Not needing another word, I tell Jackson the address and that I need to be there as fast as possible, 45 minutes later we're pulling into the Labor and Delivery section of the hospital.
"Congrats Harry!" Jackson says letting me out at the door. "Thank you!" I beam back at him.
Seeing Gemma, her eyes are puffy with tears still flowing. "Gem what's wro-," a sharp pain to my right cheek stings. Never has Gemma hit me like that, well not since I cut her prom dress. "How could you Harry? Cheat on her again WITH TAYLOR for Christ sakes!" She yells.
"I didn't cheat," I explain to my sister as calm as I can.
She looks at me with wild eyes pulling me into a hallway with fewer people, "Then what happened Harrold?" I clench my jaw instead of speaking, how dare she accuse me of cheating on my pregnant soon-to-be fiancé. Y/n Styles has a great catch don't you think?
"Is she here yet? Gem where are they?" I ask ready to see my new family.
She begins crying again "Harry there was an accident." Those five words make my breathing come to a halt. My heart shatters in a million pieces "Is Y/n okay? What happened?" She begins walking me to a door. "This one," she points. Looking through the glass I see y/n with bruises and cuts to her beautiful face, her stomach nearly deflated from when I last saw her this morning, a cast on a swollen leg of hers, and a sling holding a very damaged arm. Tears brim at my eyes looking at my love on that hospital bed. "She's awake." Gemma walks past me running to the outside.
I gently knock on the door, waiting for a response which I don't get. "Y/n?" I approach her almost as If I were going to help an injured puppy. "Hey love" I smile at her which she glares at me and then turns wincing in pain. "You wanted this didn't you Harry?" I look at her confused. "This is probably great for you, a way out. Well leave." She states using whatever energy she can find.
"Baby I didn't want- I want you and Athena" She breaks down in uncontrollable tears.
"You were with that her and couldn't even bother to pick up your phone!" she screams. "Y/n I wasn-" a knock at the door interrupts my sentence, "Come in" She says glaring at me as a nurse opens the door.
"Hey there Mama, we have a visitor." the nurse wheel in a tiny cart that has a bunch of equipment coming from it. She looks at me and asks Y/n, "Is this dad?" she nods and rolls her eyes. "About time you made it!" She smiles my way. Placing the beautiful baby in front of us. She's so small and fragile. "The doctor will be in shortly to talk to you." She states picking up the tiny child and putting her in Y/n's arm.
"Hi pumpkin," Y/n coos into her ear. "Guess who decided to show?" She smiles, a tear falling from the corner of her eye. She nods her head towards me as I go to hold her. She's so soft and precious. Her small eyes have a gorgeous mix of both mine and Y/n's. She has such a cute round face, I couldn't imagine her looking any different.
"Hi there angel, I'm so sorry I was late." I see a spot dampen on her blanket that surrounds her, knowing that I'm crying. Her small eyes shining like twinkling stars. So small I can feel her fragile body between my large hands.
Another knock before the door opens when several doctors walk in. "Mrs. Y/ln, unfortunately, we have some bad news,"
"Oh, hello there Mr. Styles." They state acknowledging my existence. One of the female doctors places a black and white image on the lighted board illuminating the small figure.
"Unfortunately, due to the accident, Athena has suffered from what we call a fetomaternal hemorrhage."
"What exactly are you saying?" Y/n ask looking at the child still in my arms.
The slightly shorter male doctor points to the image. "This is an abscess of blood in the brain. Unfortunately, the risk is too large to operate. I'd give her another day at most."
"You m-mean," Tears start pouring down her face" I was so scared she was hurt. I-I promise I saw the light it was red, and I-I stopped but," She began heaving losing more air with each word. I gently rub her back as I cradle Athena with one arm.
"She's still being monitored but I'm afraid she won't have much longer." The first doctor breaks the silence. "According to the police report the car that struck you from behind happened to be a drunk driver, Gage Joyce." I can feel the anger surging through me. "I remember the clashing of metal, glass breaking, the sirens but it all went b-black." She mumbles, seemingly remembering the awful experience. I grab her hand in hopes of comforting her but it doesn't seem to work.
"After striking your car at 72 mph it had ample force to push your vehicle into the opposite traffic. Your vehicle took the most impact and was hit by four other cars. On scene, EMT's said you were in and out of consciousness mumbling about a baby. Taken and brought to the L&D." he finishes.
"Fetomaternal hemorrhages are often caused by trauma and sometimes can be revered but in this case, we've done all we can do." They all frown looking at the small girl still in my arms.
"No, there's got to be more you can bloody do! We're in a hospital for Christ sakes!" I exclaim, passing my daughter to the love of my life. She gently caresses her soft skin. She's literally a perfect combination of us. I cannot lose my family.
"You can leave, thank you all for your help." y/n says quietly, they oblige by her wishes and leave us with our daughter.
"Harry," she wipes a tear from her face cautious of the IV placed on her hand, "If what they say is true, I just want to spend time with her." She sniffles. I nod understanding. She looks back at the small being in her arms, "Hi pretty girl, Mommy's so happy to meet you," she unfolds the blanket from her. I sit next to her on the small bed in the room that smells of sterilization. Placing my finger near hers' she wraps her small hand around my thumb, her grip so tight for someone so small. Y/n kisses her forehead, "Harry," she runs her finger along her small legs.
"Can you sing the song?" nodding and softly singing Isn't she Lovely by Stevie Wonder, in the small hospital bed as our new life falls asleep. All night I watch her little chest rise and fall allowing y/n to get some rest soon following my two loves.
By the early morning, nurses are rushing in because of the loud beeping from the monitor, waking y/n and I. It feels like everything is happening so fast but in slow motion right in front of me. Those three words are the ones I didn't want to hear. "No! no. I have to take her home. She's gotta go home..." Y/n screams, not being able to see her face due to the tears in my eyes falling and rebuilding themselves faster than the speed of light. "Call it." One of the nurses shouts.
"Time of Death 6:18 am March 7th, 2019"
As they cleared out the room, I see her small lifeless body curled into a blanket, almost as if she were sleeping, but no longer do breaths fall from her small heart-shaped lips.
//////////////////////////
Y/n hasn't said a word since we got in the car. It's been four days since we lost Athena. She slowly climbs into the car, still sore from the accident and birth. I go to the backseat holding back my emotions and putting the empty car-seat in the trunk of the car that should have been holding three of us.
Starting the silent journey back home she continues to look out of the window, a frown etched on her mouth, tears rolling down her cheeks as she instinctively touches her somewhat deflated stomach. What kind of sick joke is this?
"Harry why were you with her?" she asks me looking down at what used to be her baby bump.
"I wasn't love, she took my phone while I was on stage." She just nods and remains silent until we pull up to the flat. She begins walking up the stairs as best she can. "Y/n wait, let me help."
"No Harry!" She yells. Pain evident in her voice, ignoring her I open the door and help her inside. "Harry I can't do this." I stare at her confused, "What can't you do y/n?"
"Us Harry. I can't look at you and not think of her." She sobs.
"Y/n we can-" I try to reason with her.
"No Harry, please just go." She whispers.
"I'm not losing both of you," I state holding back my own sobs. I feel like everything feels like it's getting smaller around me, suffocating in grief.
"You already have."
A/N: What can I say I have a thing for dark endings. Anyways I really appreciate the support loves. I hope you enjoy these! Right now I've been working on a Loki piece, I'm so excited for it. I changed the writing style tho, so it's not 1st person per usual. I think it's going pretty well so far.
xoxo Janelle

malex 44, 72 or 83? whichever you like most. love your fics! you keeps us so well feed! thank you!! love ya~ đđđ
#83 - this one was fun, nonnie!
Michael is just stepping out of the shower when his phone vibrates on his bed. Alexâs name pops up on the display and he smiles to himself. Things have been going so well between them lately.
âHey, baby. Miss me already?â He tucks his phone in the crook of his neck and pulls on his jeans.
âUh, Guerin? I need your help.â Alexâs voice sounds so small and distant that fear immediately creeps into Michaelâs chest.
âWhatâs wrong, Alex? Are you okay?â He asks, grabbing his keys and starting towards his door.
But Alex huffs out a little laugh. âIâm fine. Promise. Just got myself into a bit of a pickle.â
Michael sits on the steps of his trailer, pulls on his boots and frowns. âBit of a pickle? Is this a sex thing? Because â and listen, you know I love a sex thing â but I got called about a tow thirty minutes ago.â
Alex is silent for maybe a beat too long. âUmâŠwellâŠitâs sexâŠadjacent. You can break lock mechanisms without needing a key, right?â
âOh my god, babe. What have you done?â Michael is already laughing.
âHereâs the thing â proper preparation is important. Donât you agree?â Alex's tone is now doing its best Captain Manes impression.
âSure. Absolutely. What exactly were you properly preparing? And give me all the dirty details. Leave nothing out.â Michael texts Sanders with the tow details, claiming a family emergency.
âThe other day I was talking to Isobel.â Michael groans. âShut up, Guerin. Anyway, we were discussingâŠhandcuffs.â
âHoly fuck, Alex. Sheâs my sister.â He sighs and pinches the skin between his eyes.
âYeah, well, sheâs not mine.â Alex clears his throat and continues. âSo, last night she dropped by and gave us a little âhappy youâre back togetherâ gift. But now I canât find the key.â
âSo, youâre handcuffed to what â your bed?â The mental image has Michael climbing into his truck and cranking the engine.
âYes. And I might be naked.â
âChrist, the sun isnât even up yet. And donât you have to be at work in â oh, twenty minutes?â Michael presses the gas pedal a little harder. Alex is definitely going to be late. He intends to see this proper preparation through to the bitter, salty end.
âCalled in sick.â The smile in his voice is evident â as is the sex.
Michael sucks his bottom lip into his mouth and runs a stop sign. âYou didnât lose the key, did you?â
ââŠâ
âYou stay right there. Iâm coming to get you. And I mean it, Alex. Donât you move an inch.â He blows through several more stop signs and pulls into Alexâs driveway in record time. Already half naked by the time he crawls into bed and on top of a very properly prepared Captain Alexander Manes.

Obligitory Cuddling for Warmth Fic: DantexLeon Edition
Dante couldnât remember the last time he slept. The last time he had eaten. The last time he had spoken outside his thoughts. Not since he had heard the plane Leon was on had gone down 72 hours ago. He leaves the guy alone for a few days to go take care of a job that couldnât wait, and sometime in that time frame Leon goes and crashes a perfectly good airplane. Because only Leon could be on a plane for any amount of time before it decides it needs to make an emergency landing - read crash landing- that is essentially in bumfuck nowhere Siberia.Â
The guy really needs to hire a chauffeur or something because he has the worst history with any type of motorized vehicles Danteâs ever heard of. Dante could make a game out of how many times in the stories Leonâs told him about his exploits with fighting infected that included the words, âand then I crashed âXâ, into âYâ and through âZâ.ââ
Dante shakes his head, once again focusing on the ground that he had been scouring for a few hours in his demon form from above. From what information Lady had been able to procure, mostly via recorded audio from the plane to the closest airport, the small passenger plane had been, unbeknownst to the government, been smuggling samples of different strains of the Las Plagas virus right under their noses. Some of the samples got breached and passengers started getting infected.Â
If everyone on the plane ended up infected and crashed into a populated area the virus would quickly get out of hand. Dante remembered Leon telling him about an incident at an airport once before. The fallout wasnât pretty. So of course it was probably Leon who decided crashing the plane in one of the coldest and most unpopulated areas next to Antarctica was the best course of action.
Leon, who was most likely injured and alone in this frozen tundra. Not dead, never dead. Leon was one of the toughest humans Dante had ever met next to Lady and he refused to even contemplate the idea. Of having to deal with the loss of yet another person he loved. It was one of the reasons he had fought so hard not to be in this relationship at all in the beginning. Just friends who got to occasionally team up on jobs and have a beer or two afterwards. The problem was Leon had a way of burrowing himself under Danteâs ribs and into his heart, and before his brain realized what had happened they were together.Â
Then a glint of silver and the smell of melting metal and smoke. It didnât take a rocket scientist to figure out the plane definitely wasnât going to be flying again. One of the wings was completely torn off and a patch of the right side of the hull had a large hole ripped in it. A small layering of snow covered the top so it had been down for at least long enough that the snowfall could accumulate upon the wreckage. For a plane carrying infected passengers, however, it was deathly quiet. No moans, no groans, no screaming, nothing but the sound of the wind constantly blowing past his ears.Â
A quick look inside explained all he needed to know. Leon had taken care of it. At least he hoped it was Leon who had taken care of it, he wasnât on the plane now. Dante rubbed his face with his hand, why wasnât Leon still on the damn plane? Surely it provided better protection from the elements even with the hole in its hull. Not to mention it offered a better chance of being found when your boyfriend showed up! Frustrated he punched the side of the plane, leaving a fist sized dent in the hull then took a deep breath. He needed to keep his cool. Leon was a big boy and could take care of himself, he was no damsel in distress. Surviving all the countless missions heâd been on had proved that. If Leon was alive out there, he would survive until someone found him.Â
Stepping out of the airplane he noticed a few different sets of footprints half filled in with snow. One set also had small droplets of blood dotting the snow around them. Following the trail to the back of the plane he found a body in the snow. Heart stopping for a moment he quickly reached down to brush the snow off. Just another infected, a bullet hole neatly through its forehead. Dante sighed in relief. The trail of blood droplets continued further away from the plane and into the woods.Â
When he found the end of the trail his blood ran cold. Leon was laying on the ground just inside the entrance to a cave. A small puddle of blood around his right leg. Dante quickly rolled him over and placed his head to his chest, listening for a heartbeat while trying to ignore his own heart's panicked thudding echoing in his ears. He saw the rise and fall of Leonâs chest before he heard the heart beats.Â
Dante didnât really notice the cold, his demon blood keeping him running hotter than the average human. Leon, however, definitely was. In fact he was barely even shivering from it and Dante remembered enough vague things about hypothermia to know this wasnât a good thing. Fire. they needed a fire. Carefully he moved Leon a bit further into the cave and away from the wind, covering him with his jacket hoping that would be enough for the precious few minutes he was going to take to gather firewood. Five minutes later he was back in the cave with a pile of wood he had set on fire using Ifrit, because hell if he had the time or patience to make a fire the human way. Then he was back over at Leonâs side. Moving him closer to the fire while he took a look at his leg. It looked like Leon had wrapped it once before, but the wound must have been bad enough that he bled through the bandages. Rifling through Leonâs pouches came up with another roll of bandages and he used those to rewrap the leg to the best of his abilities. It didnât look nearly as good as the job Leon had done the first time. Leon who still wasnât shivering. Only one thing for it then.
Taking his jacket off of Leon, he quickly and efficiently removed the manâs leather jacket and undershirts. Normally heâd make a wise crack or a wolf whistle to break the tension but the man below him was in no condition to appreciate it, nor was it the time. Once he was naked from the waste up, Dante removed his own dark colored shirt and sat down with his back against the cold cave wall. Next he grabbed Leon, tucking the man between his legs with his back against his chest.Then he grabbed both Leonâs jacket and his own, wrapping them around the two forming what he hoped was a mostly airtight cocoon. Then came the hardest part. Waiting. Â
Some time later, a groan from the form beneath him and a full body shudder stopped Dante from running his hands up and down Leonâs body trying to force more warmth back into his body.
âHey babe, human popsicle really isnât a good look for you.â
âW-w-wasnât a look I was f-f-f-ond of myself.â Leon stuttered out. Full body tremors now rocking his entire frame. Dante wrapped his arms around Leonâs waist whilst humming in acknowledgement.Â
âWhen I didnât find you on the airplane I got a little worried,â Dante admitted softly.
âS-s-s-ome of the infected had gotten sucked out-t-t of the p-p-p-plane when I landed it. Had to chase them down. C-c-c-ouldnât let the infection spread.â
âI saw the hole in the hull. What kinda of nut job manages to crash a perfectly good plane,â Dante huffed out with a laugh.
âAny land-d-d-ing you can walk away from.â Leon replied, tremors still showing no signs of lessening.
âHow long do you think weâll be here before your friends arrive. The co-worker of yours, Chris? The guy who supposedly punched a boulder to death. He still owes me an arm wrestling match.â
âOne of the infected on the p-p-plane was an undercover umbrella agent. He had a gps s-s-satellite phone on him. Used it to send coordinates to Hunnigan earlier. Hopefully it wonât be t-t-too much longer.â Dante felt Leon leaning more heavily into his chest, all the shivering clearly tiring him out.
âHey, no sleeping until they get here. If I have to be awake for them when they get here so do you. Besides, whoâs gonna protect me from the giant bears when they come back to reclaim their cave?â
âIf I promise not to fall asleep will you hold me tighter? Youâre s-s-so warm.â
Dante smiled, complying happily as he gathered the agent as close to himself as he could.
âI knew this was all just an elaborate ruse to get more cuddle time.â Leon huffed out a laugh.Â
âWhat can I s-s-say. Theyâre just that good.â
Dante wrapped his arms around his waist and snuggled just that scant bit closer, putting his head onto Leonâs shoulder, willing more of his warmth to seep into his chilled skin. Heâd keep Leon warm anytime.

All in the Family
Chapter 72: The Unforgivable Curses
"Mum's going to kill me," Frank sighed at the newest bout of trouble their landing had caused, in his own home this time. He had no idea what the implications of that for Harry Potter's story was, possibly the lad and Neville would be spending time together? That seemed to be the theme. Regardless, he'd rather read of that than imagine the scolding his mother was going to provide as he helped Alice pull herself free from the precious potted plants. The rest of their home fared no better.
It was a grand three story in a weathered Victorian design, with pastel shingles along the outside not even faded to time he could hear someone outside shambling around on, a sunroom Lily was blinking painfully inside of, and an attic with a portal window of an excellent view of their entire massive lakefront property he could clearly hear someone going through from the living room.
Reddish-brown dirt now littered the beige carpet, the bright afternoon sun shining in that almost looked like blood he quickly magiced back into place of the carefully designed pot, lest inner spells spill water on the floor next at their due time. The furniture had not been spared, his mother's favorite sofa now had a missing leg from his landing on it he was also quick to repair, but the spell wasn't good enough to hide the blue upholstery had recently been tampered with.
He could see the kitchen beyond, bathed in more natural light with Sirius Black prowling about in his now usual moody way. Frank winced as he carelessly pushed the chair aside his Uncle Algie always sat at and made his way to the back door to the lake beyond. Frank could see the exact counter space he'd landed on, and the ceramic bowl he'd shattered and had yet to fix.
"Hey, it's alright love," Alice placed her hand calmly on his shoulder as he winced for the abundance of noise for the others making their way through his house. "I'm sure whatever destruction we're causing is getting fixed when we're zapped back away."
"We've yet to have proof of that," he snapped, "and somehow, my mum's going to know it was me who did this regardless."
She removed her hand and stepped back, and he winced harder as he heard his own sharp tone well after the fact. "Sorry love," he apologized at once, offering his hand out and relieved she took it immediately.
"I can understand his nerves!" The older Black shouted from the kitchen, clearly no shame in eavesdropping. "Last two times we ended up at someone's home, it didn't end well for them!"
Frank went paler, and Alice shot him a nasty look. Those were his supposed friends he was so callously speaking of, but he didn't seem to think twice of it as he pounded restlessly, and uselessly they all knew by now, on the back door to be free as the others made their way down the staircase.
The long, narrow walkway allowed them to only come down one at a time, so he clearly saw none of them yet had the book. Quick to zip past them and see the damage they'd done, he also didn't want to admit aloud how he was also making a run from Sirius Black's words before anyone could see.
Alice began to follow, and he had half a mind to tell her otherwise, until he groaned in pain to see what they'd done and the thought of her comfort was almost all that sustained him.
Several of the photos lining the wall had been knocked down, their portraits shaking their head disapprovingly and joining the others still on the wall. Aunt Enid's glasses were a sparkling, twisted mess in the middle of the hallway, though whether she'd done that or someone mistakenly had was a fair debate.
Poking his head in, his room alone showed no clear signs of disturbance, but that could have been due to the fact there wasn't much to bother. His bed remained made with his pillow at the wrong end so that the sunlight could shine on that spot all day, the window open and the same small little tear in the flywire all that marked him apart from the rest of the house.
His insides sunk even lower as he wondered, was this still his room, or Neville's? Which time were they in exactly? If this was his sons, shouldn't there be some defining marker? One could argue, as the lad would be at school there wouldn't, but surely Frank was overlooking something...
Alice came up beside him and took his hand again, he squeezed it and wondered what she was thinking of all this, if she was dreading this mess starting as much as he was. Was Neville finally going to tell what had happened to his father? Name his mother? The two hadn't really spoken much of it, with no reason as they had no way to get a clear answer and fear of speculation stilling their tongues.
From below though, the clear sounds of Lily's voice spelling it out left little to the imagination.
"The Unforgivable Curses?" Alice hissed, so quietly it seemed she feared the walls hearing. "That must be, unrelated to, why we're here."
He didn't answer her, he couldn't find his tongue to say anything.
As Lily got properly started, her tone as always weary and unsure as she read of Snape's most resent foul deeds, Frank continued his way uneasily through the rest of his home. His mother's room next, which definitely showed signs someone had landed in here. The frills along the edge of her bed were crooked by a quarter of an inch, her stuffed hat had fallen to the floor upside down giving the bird an even more severe look than ever. He waved his wand in a vain hope to fix this, and still somehow knew he was missing something.
Alice stayed protectively by his side, her lips pursed unpleasantly as she watched her boyfriend pad around his own home with the same unease he had back in the Marauder's places. As Moody entered his classroom for the first time and they made their way up to the attic, she had to fight off the impulse to take his hand and pull him back downstairs with the others just for a distraction. She would have thought she'd love visiting his home, maybe even getting to see a more relaxed and casual side of him she'd been missing lately surrounded by others he didn't know well, but it seemed more the opposite was happening as they made their way to the last floor.
The two had been listening very intently this whole time to Moody's speech to the class, but thanks to the chapter title were not surprised at the lesson he declared they were having. It made some amount of sense to them after all, they were seventeen and heard use of these as common as the body count in the news, but that didn't make hearing of it being taught to fourteen year olds better. Nor why they were in Frank's house had yet to clear anything up.
Frank cast his eyes around at all of the tipped over boxes, the window open letting in a stiff breeze, and shifted his weight restlessly as he once again went to raise his wand and put everything right, then stopped quite suddenly.
The lesson was going along in the background, Ron offering up the Imperius curse first, but what had caught Frank's attention was a photo that had tumbled out of one the highest stacked boxes. He'd never gone threw these himself, his mother had expressly forbade it, but now for the first time he regretted listening to her so keenly as he laid eyes on his dad. He only had a few scattered memories of him in his earliest youth, laughing together mostly as his mother fondly scolded the pair. Her scoldings had only grown worse after he died, the Killing Curse he knew, performed by a Death Eater callously in the middle of the street while Frank had been right next to him.
He rubbed his thumb carefully over the photo, his dad and Aunt Enid laughing at some long forgotten joke, a fanged gerbil in his hands. Was this why they'd been placed here? The Unforgivable Curses mocking him back what he'd lost?
Alice knelt beside him to help sort out the photos as Moody finished demonstrating the effects of Imperio on the spider, and he paused at a picture of what must be his Uncle Algie meeting his mum for the first time to look back towards the doorway in surprise of Neville first being mentioned offering up an answer.
"Merlin I hope my mum never shared this with him," he whispered as he gathered them all up now, trying to ignore how tight his throat was. Looking at the array of life around him frozen forever in these photos made him well understand why his mum kept these tucked away up here. What good would it do to see these all the time? He didn't really regret this foray though, now he knew where they were if ever he did want to see them again.
Alice helped him pack it all away again carefully before sitting in the open window sill with him, the two huddled together for warmth and each other's presence as Neville gave such a bad reaction to seeing the physical effects of the Cruciatus Curse being put on the spider. It didn't seem fair that the one time he'd been shown to take initiative and offer up something for class he needed Hermione to step in and tell the teacher to stop traumatizing him.
Lily's voice quavered as she forced out the last curse, and Harry dwelling on it. What Moody was saying, it shouldn't even be possible, and yet Harry had survived, because of her. She only hesitated a moment before glancing up, and eerily looking right at James Potter.
He was leaning almost casually in the kitchen doorway, the other Marauders scattered around closer than they'd allowed themselves last time but still awkwardly avoiding each other. He wasn't looking at them though, but at her as well, his bright hazel eyes looking darker than she ever could have imagined as he pictured this all as well as her. It took little effort to give him green eyes in her mind, to see her own son's gaze looking to her for an answer for all of this. She still had no idea what she'd say to him, to either of them. How she longed for this not to be true, but growing more used to the idea all the time this was inevitable...
Alice managed a wobegon smile for Moody realizing he'd traumatized Neville and coming over to offer him a word of comfort after class like that, she wished half the DADA teachers they had were so aware of the students. She sniffled softly that couldn't have been her, the chapter title had come and gone in explanation and the two were left with more confusion than ever why Neville seemed so alone in the world.
Frank released her hand and wrapped an arm around her shoulder instead, still not wanting to cut off the air coming in despite the chill as they next heard of Neville actually happy once more, this teacher stepping in and giving him a positive memory now in encouraging him in a subject he was good at. It wasn't as much as they could ask for, but at least of some comfort he wasn't forgotten by everyone.
The story kept on track with Harry though, of course, and the two managed a watery smile for each other, not bothering to hold back laughter the Potter boy resorted to making up his homework for such a useless class. The two even couldn't help playing along at points and started suggesting their own bad predictions, Alice laughing so hard she nearly toppled backward out the window as Frank suggested Trelawney getting a frog in her throat and not teaching classes for a bit.
He kept a steady hold on her, and the two subsided to listen again as the twins were once more mentioned up to something suspicious, but that passed with hardly more explanation. Then Hermione was back, and finally revealed why she'd been darting off to the library so much.
"SPEW?" Alice giggled. "She really couldn't come up with a better name than that."
"I've heard one never can figure out all the problems with names they chose, it's good to bounce the idea off of others," he shrugged.
Both being purebloods, they had no idea what Hermione's real problem was. Alice even had a house elf at her home, though Frank's line had died out two generations ago, his mum still spoke fondly of the little thing. So far Hermione hadn't been able to hold their attention on the topic, all she'd been saying was how mistreated they apparently were when neither of them had heard any such thing, even what had been done to Winky made perfect sense to them. They listened with only mild curiosity as she wrangled her friends into her new club, minds still on Neville and their own future.
James let out a blasting sigh of relief he hadn't realized he'd been holding, finally tearing his gaze away from Lily to look on at Sirius. He looked all too pleased with himself at the news he'd sent Harry about heading back to the country, and James wasn't going to deny in that moment how thankful he felt at the idea as well. He still had a bad feeling about this Tournament being around his kid, he was going to need Sirius.
The two shared yet another look of understanding, but Sirius flinched and looked away first. James dithered on the spot, he wanted to go talk to him along with Remus and Peter, at least clear the air, but then Lily was winding up the last of the chapter, and he knew the boys in that dormitory weren't the only ones in for a restless night.

Loving your stories! How about a sort of combination of kink prompts 41/70? Joel/Reader are out on patrol, she gets almost bitten (he confirms it doesnât break the skin somehow but scares the hell out of both of them). Back in Jackson she insists on quarantining for a few days to make sure sheâs not infected (he thinks itâs unnecessary). As soon as Joel gets her home from her self-imposed quarantine, he needs to have her in an I-almost-lost-you-Donât-ever-do-that-again desperate kind of way.
Welp!
72-Hour-Quarantine
The wind goes out of you as a runner collides with your side, his wayward arms circling into a surprisingly effective tackle. The thing looks especially ragged and your arms are pinned under yourself as you try to reload with it gnashing on top of you. You hear Joel yell your name and fire, but he hits just left of the runnerâs spine and only adds a jerk to its unsettling movement.
You shoot it point-blank in the chest by the time you chamber a round, earning an upset gurgling wailâthis thing might be just a day or two away from clicking already, no way to tell how long it had been out here.
You feel the hard semicircle of its mouth close over your shirt-covered shoulder. The pressure makes your head spin but you donât feel the telltale puncture of teeth. It lasts for two seconds before Joel fires again, the sound deafening you at this range and spraying blood all over your face. The sighted clicker falls slack, a toothless mouth lolling open as you register what happened and freeze on the floor where you are.
Ears ringing, your back is against Joelâs chest as his hands scrabble to see the damage.
âHope youâre still listening,â you say to him without hearing yourself, trying not to look at your shoulder. âCanât hear a fucking thing.â
He ignores you and gets the strap of your undershirt off and runs his palm over a purpling pressure wound, raw from the force of the bite but skin unbroken. Youâve gone quiet in stark resignation.
You feel him stroke the side of your face as if to turn it towards the mark and you look, ringing not dissipating but his voice coming through stronger. No teeth, no blood drawn, but the way blood pools at the surface and darkens made you anxious. Your skin is near-shiny with the discoloration.
âNot broken,â he pronounces and you exhale.
You push away from him and stand, righting your clothes.
âHey, youâre good, right? Youâre good,â Joelâs hands close over both of your biceps, watching your face.
âI need to quarantine. When we get back.â
âNo you donât, the skin is going to be fineâjust need some ice,â he scrubs a hand over his face, watching you closely.
âJoel, I need you to cover for me, okay? Iâm not showing this to Maria,â youâre adamant but glance down.
âNothing to cover because, youâre okay,â he says doggedly, tapping at the split-open jaw of the clicker with the toe of his boot.
Joel takes a cautious step closer, repeating his gentle reassurances. His hand goes to your jaw and you realize heâs about to do something stupid, so you push away and turn down the hall to make your way back to the horses.
âI could be infected, Joel,â you say apologetically, too awash in âwhat-ifâ to register that after four months of awkward, sweet, near-heated interactions, heâd tried to kiss you at the dumbest possible opportunity.
âThat it?â He asks, one hand tucked in his belt, same as he always did when he wasnât sure where to put them. He doesnât look defensive as much as severely let down.
You stop and look back at him.
âNo, of course not. But now I need to go lock myself inside for three days so I donât eat you about it, alright?â You watch each other with searching eyes for a second before he follows you out to the horses.
â
Jackson, Wednesday Evening
Itâs evening by the time you get in and stable the horses, Joel half-watching you but evidently convinced that you hadnât been infected as you hand off your horse in the stables. You trudge silently towards home, not speaking until you reach your porch.
âIâll see you Saturday,â you say quietly, shuffling up your steps, aching for a hot shower that you were a little hopeful would run cold.
Joel chuckles and looks up at you under his dark brows.
âIâll see you in a few hours,â he dismisses.
You give him a soft smile.
âBring your shotgun,â you joke, knowing it is weak deflection.
He rolls his eyes at you and retreats to the street, hands thrust in his coat.
â
Jackson, Wednesday, Midnight
Youâre showered and settled on your couch with a nice fire heating the living room you still canât believe is yours, your legs slung off of one edge as you balance your book on your chest.
Youâve read this particular paragraph four times: spent the first thinking about your mortality and whether or not Joel could actually kill you right in this spot if you turn, the second totally assured that quarantining is the right choice, the third, whether or not a kiss could transfer the virus, and the fourth about the way he would taste, how his hand would feel guiding your jaw like that again.
A knock startles you on your fifth pass, and you squint over the back of the couch before rising.
You peer through the door and sigh, walking around your entryway to slide open the dining room window and poke your head out. Joelâs hands are in his pockets again, rocking back and forth on one foot. He raises an eyebrow at you, curtains parted around your shoulders and hair knotted on top of your head.
âCan I come in?â He speaks to you quietly, low drawl never requiring a lot of volume between you.
âJoel, you know why not,â you sigh. Heâs already dragging a chair from your porch parallel to your location in the window seat.
âFine, even though youâre fine,â he replies, taking a seat and tugging two beers from his jacket. You accept the one he passes through.
âNo gurgling yet, zero moaning,â you report, toasting him through the window.
âI see that,â Joel says, crossing one ankle over his opposite knee.
â
Jackson, Thursday, Morning
âJoel, Iâm fine, Iâm me, still good,â you call, traipsing down the stairs and acquiring articles of clothing as you go, rubbing your eyes at the bright downstairs light. His broad frame is haunting your entire front door, but you duck to the side the poke open the dining room window, even with this cold. As you get settled on the window seat, a covered plate of food enters your line of vision. It looks like an omelette stuffed with something, steaming the edges of the container.
âDid you make me breakfast?â You ask sleepily.
âHopefully lasts a little more than that, Iâm out on route four today,â he explains. âAnd I only mentioned to Ellie. Sheâll keep quiet, everyone thinks you have the flu otherwise.â
It smells fantastic, and you note he might actually have managed to preserve some of the herb garden persisting away in his backyard, decades after the outbreak.
You donât know what to say to him or the casual, presumptuous intimacy so you just bite your lower lip to avoid saying something stupid. Watching the edge of hopefulness on his features makes it hard to look at him directly. You decided yesterday that youâre going to climb into his lap the second you can be close again, counting out stupid, anxious missed time. You probably could have kissed him months ago, based on the way heâs acting now, and instead youâd both just shuffled back to your respective houses to sit in consumed solitude night after night.
âThank you,â you finally give weakly. He smiles and starts to make his way off of the porch, hand on a column as he rounds it. The way he moves through the world is so visceral and practical, and you look at him a little longer than you mean to.
âJoel,â you start. He looks back with those eyes and their intense focus, warm at the edges for regarding you.
âBe safe, please,â you ask.
âIf Iâm not, Iâll just come in there with you,â heâs more bold than heâd ever been, smile tugging up the corner of his mouth before he turns. You sigh and watch him stride away, shamelessly taking in his form with your chin on your hand.
â
Jackson, Thursday, Late
The knocking doesnât startle you this time, his rhythm familiar now. You want to tick the lock open and just let him inside, for both your sakes, but you donât, for everyoneâs sake.
âHow was patrol?â You ask, sliding the door open.
âAre you good?â he plows.
âMe first. Are you?â You counter. Youâd be a moaning heap of erratic pain if you were going to turn at this point.
Joel relents and nods.
âBrought back some things from town,â he says sheepishly, pushing you a paper-wrapped section of meat and a small basket of vegetables. Theyâre stacked with suspicious neatness, lashed together with a neatly tied bow of twine. They donât come that way at the market stalls.
â
Jackson, Friday, Early Afternoon
Joel doesnât get a reply after the first two knocks, and he rushes to the back door. He can hear a record warbling and the uniform sounds of something being chopped, letting his shoulders sink a couple of inches from their tense alert.
Youâd been trying to prepare what heâd brought you last night in silence and couldnât get free of repeating your conversations, brief little snippets of tipsy exchanges. Itâs not like youâd spoken much since heâd been hovering over your one-house quarantine zone, but you suppose thereâs not a lot left to say. Youâve got exactly one thing to express to him and it doesnât require a hell of a lot of talking at this point.
He hears a deep male voice thrumming along, inflected with guitar and accompaniments that crackle through the vinyl player in the kitchen. He raises his hand to the back door to knock before your voice joins in, catching on just one verse.
     You know I dreamed about you
     For twenty-nine years before I saw you
Youâre trying your damndest to do a nice job of cutting neat circles of the squash heâd picked out, slow thumps of the knife hitting the board running along with the music. You sing distractedly, only to yourself.
     You know I dreamed about you
     I missed you for, for twenty-nine years
Joel pulls his hand back, running it over his beard and seeing how quietly he can sneak back to your front door.
When he knocks, the first side of the record is run out and you sigh in relief, still murmuring a soft fuck me because who knows how long heâd been there.
You pop open the dining room window.
âWant to come to the back porch? Trying to do what you brought me some justice, and you should take some home for you and Ellie,â you get out calmly, gesturing to the path heâd just snuck along below the view of the windows.
Joel retraces his steps with a small smile.
You fling open the window over the sink and he leans in, forearms crossed over each other.
âThat smells delicious,â he comments, watching you carefully layer the vegetables, alternating their colors one over the other. Youâd never been any type of a cook before the outbreak, but in Jackson, time was almost predictable enough to spend meditative little moments on details. You took to it well, especially when the source of the food was a bit more precious than whatever generic options supermarkets peddled before. This was grown in Jackson, hunted in Jacksonâcarried to you by a man whose whole height can barely handle the window heâs leaning into. Maybe youâre pouring extra focus into hoping he hadnât heard your choice pining through the windows a moment before while he watches you attentively.
Sliding it into the oven with a satisfied nod, you set the manual timer to two hours and look up nervously.
âWell. Itâll be a bit,â you shrug.
âFix me a drink then, honey?â Joel teases, and you wish the sound of him calling you that didnât shoot to your toes. His smile is radiant and you try to memorize this rare expression without tripping over something in your own house.
âFuckinâ pushing it,â you emphasize, pointing to him as you retreat to the bar to scrounge up something pass the time while the dinner cooks.
â
Jackson, Saturday Morning
Joel wakes up early on Saturday, hustling through scant chores and a long shower, arriving at squarely at seven in the morning with an empty cup of coffee before him on his kitchen island, shirt neatly tucked into his jeans, boots looking suspiciously more respectable and free of dirt than usual. He tries to force himself to sit after he pours another mug, eyes grazing the clock constantly. Youâd been chewed on around nine AM three mornings ago, quarantine is a 72-hour-thing, and he bounces one knee nervously as the sunlight starts to slant across his kitchen floor to indicate something closer to a reasonable hour.
Thereâs a buzzy tension to him, realizing no buffer of over-caution needed to be enforced anymore. It meant not ignoring that his first reflex on realizing he hadnât lost you was to finally kiss you. Ideally it meant he would get to finish the conversation he had tried to start.
At ten minutes before nine, he barely finishes knocking when you whip open the door, short hair wet and a mug of tea in one hand.
âStill human,â you note, spinning as if to prove it, lopsided grin trying to keep it light. You show him the bruise beginning to redden and wilt yellowish near the edges, purple receding like youâd been clenched in a smooth-edged bear trap instead of an infected maw.
âMay I come in?â He asks so formally that you step back and gesture inside with a little bow, closing off the cold behind him. Joel fills the space of your little entryway and youâre compelled to set your tea down where you keep your keys on the table, not breaking eye contact with him.
âListen, what I did afterââ he starts, halting at the way youâre watching him without flinching. Your eyes flick to his mouth and he steps towards you, expecting you to back into the wall so he can stop and ask to kiss you this time.
You grasp the hair at the nape of his neck and kiss him hard, mouth opening for him as he instantly reciprocates, hands flying to your sides. You kiss adroitly, anticipating each other like its an old habit until Joel pushes you against the wall, coaxing your legs around his waist and holding you there to bring you level with him.
His tongue feels so exquisite, feels perfect to finally have him pressed against you like thisâyou donât think of pace or timing as you speed to unbutton his shirt. Joel flicks yours open, smoothing his hand over your still-sore, riddled shoulder. He drops open-mouthed kisses there and you arc against him without meaning to. He piques an eyebrow with interest at that, clearly filing it away.
You slide your hands over his shoulders to urge his shirt off and he hastily twists out of it, grasping your thighs to move you into the living room. He gets to the dining room table instead, layout inverted from his own home, and laughs against your mouth before righting you both and trying to hasten back to the couch.
You pull his hair and wreck his balance, and he slams you both into the china cabinet that youâd never quite gotten the energy to move out of whoeverâs house this was before. You slide your hand between your bodies and try to slip into the waistband of his jeans. Joel catches your wrist and slams it into the cabinet, shaking something off the top in the process, his other hand palming your breasts. You both laugh  against each other at the loud crash, Joel toeing the shards mostly out of your way.
You use your considerable lower body strength to spin Joel against the cabinet and emphasize what you want with your palm against his chest, wrenching the buttons of his fly open and falling to your knees in front of him. You swallow him near whole, finding him fully hard and hearing a tinny tchink tchink as dishes jostle in the cabinet beside your combined weight. Thinking youâd be fully satisfied to kneel here and explore him just like this, you hollow your cheeks and revel in assessing his size, peeking up to watch him react.
âFuck, fuck, that has to wait,â he grimaces, gulping a huge breath and tugging on your hair. He uses that particular curse so rarely, even on life-or-death patrols, that you assent and draw off of him, watching him close his eyes as you slip off of his head.
Joel tugs you up roughly and half-stoops to get one arm under your knees, an act that would be effortless if pleasure wasnât diffusing across every inch of his skin. He pointedly gets back to the couch in a few strides, long legs carrying you quickly.
He tosses you down lightly and covers your body with his, mouth roaming over your throat and collarbones. Joel sits back on his heels to unbutton your jeans and strip them away as you paw to drag his the rest of the way down.
He gives a nervous grunt as you both realize he still has his boots on, and you muscle your way into his lap to keep kissing him while he fumbles them off behind you, smiling into your kiss. When heâs free, you grind down against him and take him in your fist, earning a gasp as he turns his face against your chest.
Joel flips you both again, simply getting you under him and guiding himself to your core. You thrust up to receive him before he can ask to have you, and take scant time to adjust before heâs slamming into you. The blunt edge of his fingernails dig into your hips as he holds you fast, rearing back on his knees to get the best angle. His physicality hadnât been lost on you for a moment, but you let him stretch you open while you take him in anyway. Heâs in excellent shape, definition emphasized by the tight clench of his abdomen as he takes you. Figuring itâs acceptable to gawk with him this deep inside of you, you span a palm over his chest and the dark hair there, unmistakable line of it directly between his hipbones so gratifying now that you werenât just seeing it in accidental flashes.
As good as the impact of his motions shaking the entire couch and your body feel, you roll up towards him so youâre seated squarely in his lap so you keep kissing him while you move together. The change in angle doesnât tone down the way every one of your bones is rattling as he responds urgently to you riding him.
Joelâs broad hands are everywhere, unable to pause on one spot, bunching in your hair to keep you where he likes as you fuck each other with building intensity. Itâs like youâre both trying to lead a dance and each had only ever learned to follow, too messy with need to get out of each otherâs way. Itâs not skillful and that fact is utterly missed on both your accelerating orgasms.
âIâm okay, Iâm all here,â you murmur against his mouth as his hands stroke over you like heâs reassuring himself. You thread your own hands into his black hair, thumbing his jaw through his beard.
âStay that way,â he pleads back, one hand on your jaw, one guiding your hips over his and working his tongue into your mouth for want of more ways to be connected to you.
You want to respond but the way youâre rocking together only facilitates a moan escaping as you start to spasm around him.
Joel pulls back deliberately with his hand on your chin so he can watchâyou pull his thumb into your mouth and bite softly as you come, shuddering and bucking in his lap. His brows draw up tense as he follows you, keeping his eyes on yours until he cries out with his forehead against your collarbone on the side with the enormous pressure bruise.
Your rapid panting twines even as it starts to slow, and Joel pulls back to press a soft kiss to your shoulder, eyes still on you, still inside you.
âCâmere,â you slide off of him carefully, awareness of how sore you were going to be settling in to muscles overworked by impatient need. Pulling both your chests together to feel your heartbeats at once, his eyes drift like heâs finally calmed by the sensation, strumming along your spine with an open hand.
You half-assemble yourselves in the brightening morning light, squinting at clothes strewn out of reach across the bottom floor of your house. You both become a little more sheepish in the aftermath, shy smiles coming comfortably but tension not dissolved. Joel feels at ease moving beneath you in a way youâd never seen him.
âIâll go grab our shirts,â you start, trying to rise.
âCan I just take you upstairs for the rest of the day?â he counters, low, warm voice filling you.
âNo plans today?â You raise your eyebrows at him curiously.
âJust the one,â he breathes.
You finish standing and cock your head at him, extending your hand. Thereâs no shyness in the way he looks at you now, just the directness wrought by plans to continue rearranging your life in broad daylight.
He rises and picks you up before you can react.
âJoel, itâs just upstairs,â you whine, not really upset by whatever this was from him.
âIt was three days. And you wouldnât let me in,â he objects.
âLonger wait than three days, cowboy,â you mutter.
He raises his eyebrows in good humor at the endearment, placing you on your still-mussed bed. You drag him close and pull him down to the bed, finding yourself caged in his arms.
âCome here,â you demand, pulling him towards you. No amount of daylight was going to be enough for you today, and you faintly think someone will have to go out to find food eventually.
âNope, whole new bunch of questions need answerinâ,â Joel kisses you confidently and it feels nice on him; feels soaringly good to you.
Whatever of his taciturn nature had fed the edges of your caution before had been absolutely obliterated by receiving a whole vocabulary he could access in this context. Youâd thought him a little gun-shy at first, but his mouth on yours is joined by thoughtful fingers teasing at your entrance. Thereâs nothing rushed about it, and he exudes competent experience and reactive curiosity as he spreads you.
Joel mouths down your chest seriously, brows knitting like it requires all of his focus.
âWasted so much goddamn time just looking at you,â he whispers, leaning against the inside of your thigh. Joel usually couldnât fix your gaze too long before this, ducking his head or pulling his guard up before meeting your eyes. You see the hazel youâd always carefully noted as he rests against your skin and smirk a little triumphantly at the sight, his pupils blown out dark and mouth reddened from friction. Joel Miller was so damn appealing it was a little preposterous, and your hands flex to touch him again.
He gives you a look thatâs too vulnerable for the way he tucks your thigh over his shoulder, placing his mouth over your clit and sucking hard with absolutely no ceremony. Joel eats you ravenously over long minutes, adjusting to each sound you make and spreading his tongue over you until youâre shaking. The room begins to warm, not just with the sun cresting the mountains that ring Jackson as the day creeps higher.
Joel pistons his tongue into you, swirling around your clit on each upstroke. You come, fisting the sheets hard enough that you both look up and laugh as a long rip signals that youâd wrecked your sheets, at least on one side.
ââŠhold onto me instead, you know,â Joel teases into your ear once heâs climbed up your body as you gasp under him. He could slip into you without hesitation now, so you grab his ass and do your best to get him on his back. He relents and rolls, handily outmatching your strength but completely bent to your will.
âYou didnât let me finish,â you hiss at him, slipping down his body to take him deep in your mouth.
Joel grunts and you glance up to see him biting his own forearm above his wristwatch, his other hand working into your hair.
Itâs clear that he absolutely loves this, yelping when you get a wet hand around the length of him that your mouth canât take, twisting and pumping in time with your lips and tongue. You think you could stay here entirely contented for longer than youâd ever imagined, helpless noises escaping him and spurring you.
âStop or I wonât last,â he grits, hips rolling beyond his command, chest expanding rapidly.
You pull off with faux annoyance, licking a stripe up the crest of his hipbone and smiling when he jumps a little.
âSort of the point,â you note before taking him back in your mouth, taking him as far into your throat as you can manage, tearing up along the way.
âChrist,â he sighs quietly, deft fingers grasping your hair, almost riding your face though heâs under you.
You span a hand over his ribs, fingertips settling in the grooves of old scars and stroking.
Joel grunts as he comes, flexing obscenely in your mouth and making a noise you could have only fantasized about before. Swallowing him down takes work and he writhes throughout it, callused fingertips abrading your scalp through your fine hair as oversensitivity crashes onto him.
You crawl back up his body, his hands urging you and feeling everything he can reach as you settle into his arms, a leg tucked over his lap.
Joel kisses you without hesitating and you taste each other in a far deeper rhythm than two fucked-out people should be building to. Any other context and you two could have woken up like this, staying in bed late to please each other, comforter heaped on the floor.
He pulls back with something leaping in his eyes.
âGive me,â he looks over your body, thumbing a nipple possessively, ââŠtwenty minutes at most, and I have intentions for you,â he says, tapping your foreheads together.
âTwenty?â you raise your eyebrows. You hadnât risked a lot of men since the outbreak, but that would be genuinely impressive. You readjust your cheek against his bicep, his arm tucked tight around your waist.
Joel rolls his eyes good-naturedly and grabs your jaw, kissing you again. He lets you study him when you pull back, seeming to do the same with the pad of his thumb arcing over your cheekbone.
He strokes your bruise, wincing a little at the obvious pain it confers.
âThis is never happening again,â Joel softly thumbs the wound, âbut Iâm not staying locked outside if it did.â
âThis didnât happen because you nailed it before it could do more, gums or not,â you chuckle.
He nods.
âYou heard me, though?â Joel asks, feeling a little bare.
âYou really think Iâm letting you outside again?â you ask, tapping his lower lip with your teeth before kissing him slowly, moving assuredly as he enfolds you in both his arms.
