Ao3 link: A Visit

This is a tickle fic

After taking in Echo the batch hadn’t quite been allowed to leave base yet and, while Rex wasn’t complaining, he knew they were tired of being cooped up there. It wasn’t surprising that the batch were getting grumbly but Echo was starting to lose his patience too. The poking and prodding from medics wearing on his already frazzled nerves.

Rex was trying to soften the blow, walking back with Echo to the Marauder to try and draw some conversation out of him. He was giving one word answers, grunts, hums, anything except for actually talking. By the time they boarded the Marauder Echo was irritably fidgeting, removing his armor and stuffing it into one of the storage bins. The rest of the batch hadn’t even bothered to try getting him to talk, their eyes following him while they stuck to their respective tasks. He never came back from medbay happy and they must’ve learned to give him some space until he could sort out his mood again.

Rex was at a loss. He watched Echo sulk, stew in his own head, and grumble at every inconvenience. Rex wanted to help. He wanted nothing more than to pull Echo out of his head and get him to lighten up a little bit. Talking wasn’t working, and he didn’t want to spend his limited free time with Echo in a space where they couldn’t talk. Still, he hadn’t flexed those older brother muscles in a while and he was coming up short each and every time. It always used to be easy to get Echo to settle back into his usual self - wise cracking, mischievous - but he couldn’t help but feel like he wasn’t exactly doing something right.

There weren’t many methods he hadn’t tried yet. He waited, cracked jokes, and talked but was coming up empty. Nothing had worked and he was running out of options.

Well… there was one method he hadn’t tried yet but he wasn’t exactly sure how well it would be received. Still, Rex hadn’t become a captain through second guessing himself. This would be a little different, something he was going to have to feel out as he tested, but it was definitely worth a shot. With all the bravery he could muster he cleared his throat, clasping his hands behind his back, and regarded Echo with something akin to boredom.

“Do you need a visit?” Once it left Rex’s mouth Echo’s body froze, like he’d been paused, and Rex grinned, dropping the mask. Bingo. Echo turned to him, his face placid despite the wide eyes filled to the brim with apprehension. “Because it seems like you might need a visit.” There was a tense silence that followed it but the reaction was exactly as it used to be. That hadn’t changed. He was hoping a few other things hadn’t either.

“A visit? From who?” Hunter asked from his space by the Marauder’s computer, his head tilted to the side. The batch had clearly noticed Echo’s change in demeanor and had started to pivot their attention to them. Wrecker spun around in the gunner’s mount to listen in on their conversation, interested in the change in tone on the ship.

Rex’s grin turned wicked. “Excellent question, Hunter.” He let his head tilt towards Echo who was biting the inside of his cheeks to keep his expression even. Crosshair looked up from the bunk to study them, eyes narrowing at how Echo hadn’t taken his eyes off of Rex. He looked half a second from grabbing Echo and putting himself between the two of them - unnecessary, but an endearing instinct. Tech seemed to catch on too, rolling over in one of the bunks to watch Echo’s face carefully. “How about we show them?”

“Rex.” There was a silent plea in Echo’s voice but Rex ignored it, stepping forward. Times like these were the only times Echo ever backed away from a fight instead of running straight into one. He held his hand and scomp up at Rex to try and keep him at bay, that calm expression wobbling into something halfway in the direction of a smile. “We can talk about this.” The rest of the batch was now looking between them with interest. They would intervene if it seemed like they needed to but for the moment they were content to let Rex and Echo sort this one out on their own. Perfect.

Rex continued his lazy stroll forward, relishing in the way that apprehension dissipated into anticipation. He smiled sweetly at his former trooper. “Absolutely we can. But not right now.” He was close enough to grab Echo’s wrist now, yanking him forward to get him to let out a yelp. He knew from experience how slippery Echo could be so he didn’t give him any chances to control the situation, knocking his feet out from under him and controlling his descent to the floor. He pinned Echo’s legs to the ground with his own body but he still had his arms to worry about. He grappled with those arms with accuracy he only picked up from doing this time and time again when Echo was 501st.

It was comical to watch the batch work out what they were supposed to be doing while this went on. It looked like Hunter and Tech had caught on, both of them settling, but the other two were still wondering if they should help their new squadmate or not. Crosshair at least looked minorly amused by Echo’s predicament. Wrecker, on the other hand, still appeared concerned. They didn’t quite realize what Rex was up to.

They had never seen this side of Rex so he gave them a pass for now.

He battled with Echo’s arms until he could get them pinned to the floor next to his head. It was a shock that Echo hadn’t broken into a grin already. He was notorious for reacting before he was even touched but he was keeping himself in check enough that the smile was still fighting to work itself free. He was going to have to fix that.

He was going to have a lot of fun fixing that.

Now that his arms were pinned he was wriggling to find an out. “Rex! Please!” Rex considered taking some pity on him but he couldn’t resist the playful tug in his chest while he grinned down at Echo. The longer they sat there staring at each other the harder it was for Echo to control his expression. There was even some pink already spreading over his cheekbones and the tip of his nose. Anticipation always drove Echo up a wall. It seemed to set up shop right in his nerves and camp out to make him buzz.

Rex leaned closer, watching the preemptive smile grow the closer he got. “I told you. You need a visit.”

He didn’t let Echo protest before he let go of Echo and dove his fingers directly under his arms, getting trapped when Echo slammed his arms down to protect himself. The way Echo jolted would’ve been cause for alarm if it wasn’t for the immediate bark of laughter that tumbled out of him as Rex gently dug his fingers into the area. The sound brought something bright and light to his chest that he hadn’t felt in a really long time. Hearing Echo laugh was all it took to make years of war fall off of his shoulders, especially when he laughed like this.

“How could you hide this from your new squad, Echo?” Rex tsked playfully. “Not very team player of you, now is it?” He tried to be tentative about his touch, exploring spots that he knew about from experience while trying to be cognizant of if Echo had new boundaries now. So far there weren’t any cues that told him he wasn’t welcome, or that this wasn’t okay. He knew Echo like the back of his hand and his eyes diligently watched for any worry or discomfort, listening for pleas for it to end, ready to pull away the second he needed to, but none of that came. Echo just melted into the floor and laughed, twitching against the gentle attack.

Echo shook, flailing underneath Rex to try to get some sort of control over the touch. “They-” He broke off into a round of chuckles when Rex got enough leverage to scribble at the sensitive spot. “They didn’t need to know!”

Rex took a moment to look at the rest of the 99, absolutely tickled at what he saw. It didn’t take a genius to realize that the batch hadn’t done this with Echo yet as each of them turned towards the noise with interest, now in varying stages of amusement and fascination over what was going on on the floor of their ship. They hadn’t heard Echo laugh like this yet, that much he was sure of. They maybe weren’t even sure he was ticklish, not yet venturing into playful touch since they were all still getting to know one another. Maybe they’d even attempted but Echo kept the reaction underwraps. Rex wasn’t going to let that slide any longer. If he was going to entrust the 99s with one of his own then they were going to have to learn what made Echo tick.

“Now, now Echo.” Rex let his voice dip into ‘evil brother’ territory. “They have a right to know. I think it’s only fair if I show them all the ways they can chase the bad moods away.” He wormed his hands free from under Echo’s arms and started to pinch down his sides, his smile growing at how Echo wiggled away, head shaking from side to side, smile stretched so wide he was practically beaming. Sides were still a good spot, easy to latch onto and reach, perfect to squeeze - which he did.

“Wait!” Echo’s eyes got wide for a second, hand scrabbling to grab at Rex’s. He did exactly as he was told, waited, watched how Echo had to try to catch his breath. The waiting just made Echo more squirmy, twitching fingers at his sides waiting to dive back in the moment he got his breathing more under control. Rex slowly curled his fingers to watch how he reacted. He squirmed but stayed put otherwise, a broken giggle escaping. Rex narrowed his eyes, putting more pressure into the touch to test the waters. He was verging on more sensitive areas and Echo was catching on now.

“What’s the matter?” Rex asked, dipping his voice so it was clear he was teasing. His thumbs found the bones at Echo’s hips and prodded over the area. Echo writhed while he wrapped his arms around his body, which only made it look like he was trying not to fight back too much.

“You knohohow wh-ah!” Echo twisted when Rex snuck his fingers under the hem of his shirt to tease at the softness of his stomach. Still a sweet spot. The melodic laughter softened into giggles as Rex traced along his abdomen, swirling over the muscles and feeling them jump underneath his fingers. He still wasn’t trying to push Rex away, stuck in the spot he was in and not ready to escape. Echo feet scrambled behind him, metal against the tough steal of the ship while his body tried to decide what to do next. It was like he was fighting his own reactions, caught between wanting to sink into the floor and wanting to run.

Turns out his decision was to melt. He threw one arm over his eyes to cover his face, while the other still wrapped tightly around himself, tossing and turning as Rex raced his fingertips over the hills of his stomach and the ridges of his ribs. He rubbed his knuckles into the spaces between, causing those tittering laughs to turn into a bright bark of a noise, bouncing off of the walls of the ship and filling it with the sound.

“What’s so funny?” Rex asked, pure instinct the only thing that drove his movements. He’d spent a long time learning how to tickle his brothers, reduce them to little puddles of giggles with just a few well aimed touches and some teasing, and he was putting that training to good use.

“Cahahan’t be you!” Echo shook his head back and forth, succumbing to the sensation with a hiccuping chuckle. He turned onto his side when Rex aimed for his stomach again, this time letting his fingers dance and circle around his navel. The blush that had started to form was already spreading, framing his face the more he fell victim to Rex’s ‘torture’. Echo looked tempted to push Rex away but he wasn’t ready to give up yet, despite how flustered he looked. “You’re nohohot funny!” Oh, you’re gonna get it now.

Rex huffed at the insult. “If I’m not funny then why’re you laughing so much?” He switched to using his nails to scratch at Echo’s lower belly, finally getting the reaction he was looking for. Echo flopped onto his back again and threw his head back with a yelp before melting into the floor again and letting panicked, giggly, babbling fall out of his mouth.

“Please! Rex! Please please please!” What Echo was pleading for exactly was always a mystery. Most of the time Echo didn’t know either - it was just something to say, something to do to stay a part of the game they were playing. Rex’s playful touch turned more devious as he moved to scritch his nails over Echo’s hips, the younger man arching before flopping down again. “WAIHAHAT!” He was definitely reaching his need for an out, feet kicking behind them.

Rex couldn’t help how amused he must look, eyes lit up and beaming as he sunk back into the familiarity of it all. He halted his attack on Echo’s midsection and dove forward to shove his face into the crook of Echo’s neck, a surprised jolt accompanying the absolute shriek he let out when Rex got to work.

It was a tried and true trick that he’d picked up from Fives who used to evilly rub his stubble against Echo’s neck to get him to scream. Rex didn’t have quite as much facial hair as Fives did and, hell, his stubble wasn’t very grown out, but he could huff into the sensitive skin under Echo’s ear. Rex could never tell if it was just the position that made Echo so squirmy or if he was actually succeeding in tickling Echo into a pile of mush, but the way Echo squeaked and pushed at him was enough for Rex. With one last slow puff of air and the deliberate rub of his cheek on Echo’s neck he relented, pulling away and dropping next to Echo on the floor.

He looked thoroughly tickled pink, his body going slack against the floor while he sucked in air. It took him a minute but he rolled up and away from Rex, pulling his knees to his chest while letting out residual giggles. That smile was now plastered onto his face and, really, that’s all Rex had wanted.

“There’s that smile.” Rex couldn’t resist planting a playful boop on Echo’s nose to get it to scrunch up. Rex reached out to pat Echo on the back, rubbing comfortingly to help him calm down. “Got you to laugh.”

Echo grumbled - embarrassed. “It’s not fair. A visit from the tickle monster always makes me laugh.” He looked like he was trying to glare at Rex but it never actually reached his eyes, too much amusement on his face to draw such a grumpy expression into the open. Rex couldn’t help but feel endeared.

“You needed a visit.” Rex squeezed his shoulder, fondness spreading through his chest.

Crosshair dropped down from his place on his bunk to stand nearby, folding his arms over his chest. “I didn’t know Echo was ticklish.” There was a lot of mischief tied up in that sentence, eyes glinting dangerously as he studied Echo’s reaction to it being pointed out - which was to shrink a bit more into his folded arms. A well placed poke in Echo’s side got him to reemerge, now more successful in his attempt to glare at Rex who simply grinned wider.

“Very.” Rex addressed Crosshair that time, letting his own expression mirror the rascally one Crosshair held. “Ya know. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more tickle monsters lurking around here.” The way Crosshair’s eyes lit up meant danger and Rex was more than happy to poke that rancor.

Echo’s head perked up, looking between the two. “You can’t be serious.” He tightened himself into a smaller ball but it was no use. Crosshair was already crouching to get down on his level, evil grin displaying exactly what monster he was planning on becoming.

“I’ve heard of several just circling, waiting for their chance.” Rex pulled his hand away to let Echo start scooting backwards, Crosshair deciding to crawl forward after him.

Echo’s back hit the wall, a poorly suppressed wobbly smile making its way onto his face. He always did crack right before someone struck. “I haven’t heard of any others around here.” He knew he wasn’t getting away so he wrapped his arms around himself again, hiding most of his face in his knees to at least keep Crosshair’s expression out of his sight.

“Well then you haven’t been paying enough attention to your surroundings.” Crosshair teased, sidling up to him and hovering without actually touching yet. The anticipation of it all was making Echo squirm again, all of his nerves on display and he was doing practically nothing to keep it hidden.

“Echo!” Hunter scolded, drawing all of their attention as he took up Echo’s other side. Rex could sense the expression he aimed at Echo from a mile away by the way he shrunk away from his sergeant. “Didn’t you know that not paying attention could get you into trouble? I thought you were better than that.” They were practically circling him like sharks, waiting for the right moment to strike.

“Please.” Poor Echo. Already giggling and shaking his head as they descended onto him with playful antics that could rival Rex’s own. A fond smile made its way onto his face, knowing those phantom sensations were driving Echo up a wall - they always had.

“Well, since you asked nicely.” Crosshair teased right before he reached out for Echo’s neck, fluttering his fingers there to get him to scrunch up. His other hand prodded around Echo’s side so the dual sensation could force him to uncurl from his protective little ball, dissolving into frantic giggles already. Echo flailed a little when quick fingers found their way to scribble gently at Echo’s midsection, tickling over the spot that he’d observed could get a bigger reaction. Without thinking too much about it Echo melted into Hunter for some kind of protection but all it did was get Hunter to wrap his arms around Echo, a fond, content smile resting on his face, holding him in place for Crosshair to test out any tickle spots he wanted. Hunter let himself trace over Echo’s neck to join the fun, Echo yelping at the multiple hands trying to pull a reaction out of him.

Rex sat back and watched them. Echo was in good hands, he decided. If they were willing to play like this then he didn’t have to worry about if Echo would fit in, if he’d heal well. He had the 99 around him, ready to pull him out of his bad moods and harsh mindsets. He was going to leave him to the mercy of four brand new monsters and maybe that’s exactly what Echo needed.

We Belong Dead| Alastor x Dead Wife!Reader

A/n: Hey everyone I know it’s been a LONG time since I’ve written something and I’m sorry it’s not DC related but I finished Hazbin with my fiancée MONTHS AGO and I’ve been wanting to write Alastor soooo bad! With all of that being said, let it be known that I do NOT condone or agree with any of the questionable actions and opinions of Vivienne Medrano, but I DO enjoy this show and a lot of the characters.

Warning(s): Floofy but suggestive, Alastor “using” reader and reader just kind of going along with it, mentions of murder, sad at first, human Alastor and reader mentioned, temporary unrequited love, Demi romantic Alastor, Alastor because he’s…Alastor, mentions of marriage, canon divergence, suicide, death, loooooong introduction and plot h🫠

“Mama, we’re gonna get married!”

Alastor had decided that you were both ready for marriage in the middle of the school yard and decided to announce this as his mother came to pick him up.

His mother feigned shock as she started to playfully chide him.

“You can’t just marry some girl you met on the first day of school!”

Alastor kept his arms around you as you both giggled and showed his mother the ribbon he had tied around your finger.

“Oh my!” She exclaimed.

“Obviously you two are very serious about this! How about we have your fiancée over for dinner after school one day so I can get to know her better, hm?”

Despite Alastor never having that wedding ceremony with you on the playground, you both remained close all the way up until you graduated high school. After that, you went your separate ways.

Several years later, when Alastor bumped into you as you were leaving the corner store one day, you ended up talking to him for hours. After which, you had started getting together more often. Eating out, going to shows, drinking and having fun together.

Somewhere along the way, however, having fun together turned into going on dates together. Going on dates turned into staying up late talking for hours about anything and everything, and lovely gifts.

One such gift being your engagement ring.

Looking back on it now, you don’t know how or why you thought it was normal for a man to propose after 6 months.

On the outside, Alastor was the husband that every woman dreamed of. He helped you clean and cook, he never raised his voice, and he always bragged about you. On the inside however, something felt stiff. Tense. Off.

Alastor rarely ever initiated kisses, he barely touched you, and he disappeared in the middle of the night rather frequently.

After he was killed, it all made sense. You weren’t his wife so much as you were his alibi. Who would have thought the vicious killer that buried his victims on a hunting ground had a wife waiting at home? A wife who, despite what everyone believed, was oblivious to his crimes. It didn’t matter, though. In a matter of days, you lost your job, your friends, and your peace of mind. In the weeks that came to pass, you slowly lost your mind and your will to live as well.

You died in your sleep after taking a cocktail of pills with a glass of brandy. The police found you in bed wearing your most expensive nightgown, your hair neatly styled, and makeup done perfectly.

Just like before, time had gone on, and your time in hell had been quite interesting. Maybe even a bit enjoyable if you were being honest. The old saying rang true: Hell truly had no fury like a woman scorned. Your arrival in Hell was a testament to that.

Armed with your broken heart and raw, stinging rage, you made a home for yourself and began your own business. Anyone who got in your way was sliced open with the very weapons you sold. You were very aware of Alastor’s presence, but made no effort to contact him. He had no idea you were here, either.

That changed a few days ago.

Who should you see while on an outing in Cannibal Town but your darling husband. He looked different, but you recognized him almost immediately. He offered to walk with you and followed you even after you declined. Every day after that, he miraculously ran into you everywhere you went. He was relentless in trying to get your attention. He would try to talk to you and when you ignored him, he would carry on speaking like it was nothing. Today you finally cracked when he invited you to come to a hotel. The Hazbin Hotel, specifically.

“Why?”

“Well, I thought I might show you this little…business venture…I’ve been working on recently! After all, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen my lovely wi-“

“Don’t call me that.” You spat.

His smile never faltered, but his eyes held a look of momentary discomfort.

“Ah, and here we are!” Alastor pointed his staff towards the building in front of you. It looked like some place from when you were alive, except old and decrepit.

Ever the gentleman, Alastor held the door for you as you walked in before he followed suit. Not 5 minutes passed before a woman with long silver hair angrily stomped in your direction.

“Alastor! Where have y-,” she paused when she noticed you by his side, “who…who the fuck is this?” A blonde was following close behind her.

“I’m glad you asked!” Alastor’s smile broadened. He proceeded to introduce you as his beloved wife to everyone in the room, and then introduced them to you, completely ignoring the looks of shock and awe on their faces. Before anyone else in the room could speak, Alastor hastily took your hand.

“Now, if you excuse us, we have some things to discuss.” With that, you and Alastor promptly dissolved into a shadowy mist.

The lobby was silent then as everyone stared at where Alastor and you once stood.

“Ssso…that was weird for everyone elsse too…right?”

Meanwhile, upstairs, Alastor turned after carefully locking the door to his room.

“Now, I suppose I owe you an explana—“, he was cut off by a resounding smack when your hand connected with his cheek. Alastor’s head turned with a sharp snap. He stood completely still there for a moment, eyes wide and smile looking painfully forced. If it had been anyone else, they would’ve been dead by now, but you? Well…he always liked how feisty you were. Alastor cleared his throat before speaking again.

“Alright…”, he said while turning to face you. “I probably deserved that…”

“You deserve a lot worse than that actually, but go on.”

“I know, and I can’t…” Alastor suddenly felt unsure of what to say. Granted, The Radio Demon was not one for heartfelt apologies (or any apologies for that matter) but if anyone deserved one from him, it was you. Yet, there he stood: the feared Radio Demon, lost for words at your mere presence.

There was a long and uncomfortable silence.

“Do you have any idea what you did to me?” You finally said. “What I suffered because of you?!”

Alastor offered no response.

“What FUCKING-“ you paused as tears began to well in your eyes. Your face red and splotchy and your lips quivering as you started to sob.

“You lied to me-“

“I did.”

“You used me!”

“I did.”

“You told me you loved me!”

“I do.”

And that gave you pause. Had he loved you? Really loved you? No. It had to be a lie. He couldn’t possibly-

“I know I can’t make up for everything I did and everything that happened…” Alastor said while walking towards you. When he stopped, just a few inches from you, you had to look up at him. Alastor was taller than you in life, but now he towered over you. He gently took your hand in his. “But I’ll spend the rest of eternity trying…for you.”

You watched as he gently kissed your fingers. With tears in your eyes and an uneven breath, you laid your head on his chest.

You missed him. You tried not to miss him, but you did and there was no use in denying it anymore.

“One chance,” you finally said. “That’s all you get.”

“That’s all I’m asking.”

You looked up at Alastor and locked eyes with him briefly. The feared Radio Demon wanted nothing more right now than a chance to have you back. His eyes flitted between your lips and your eyes before he dipped you low. To anyone else, it would be an over-the-top gesture, but to you? Oh, how his theatrics made you blush and swoon.

“So…what do you say, darling?” He leaned in closer, almost touching his forehead to yours.

“Do we have a deal?~”

You raised a brow at his words.

He chuckled then.

“Ah, I apologize for my poor choice of words. What I meant was: May I have the honor of courting you, my dear?”

Your eyes softened and you smiled up at him.

“Yes, darling.”

Take It Out On Me Part 8 (Steddie X Plus Size Reader)

A/N: 🫠

Warnings: Dom Steddie and plus size sub reader and all that that implies! (I regret nothing!). Smut for sure. Degrading (whore, brat, slut I believe), slapping, choking, handcuffs 🫠, DP, overstimulation as a punishment. Jealous Steddie especially Steve, Steve and Billy fight (mentions of the aftermath), angsty feels with a dash of fluff near the end!

Word count: 5668

After that night at Steve’s house, the next few months felt like they flew by; for you anyway. When you weren’t with the guys or Masie, you were busy with school and basketball. By the time December rolled around, you were ecstatic for the upcoming winter break. 

Since you had been helping them with their schoolwork, Steve had finally taken you up on your offer to sit with you and your friend at lunch. Masie hated it at first but after noticing the turnaround he had made from last year she started to actually enjoy his presence. 

“It makes no fucking sense.”, Steve whined as he furrowed his eyebrows. 

“It’s science. None of it makes sense.”, she giggles. 

“I’m afraid I can’t help you too much with that. I mean I have my notes but physics isn’t my forte. Eddie may know something.”

“Munson is into science fiction. Not the same thing.”

“Eh, it feels like it is.”, Masie shrugs as she looks over her own work. 

A gentle sigh left your chest as you felt Steve’s legs lean against yours under the table. It was so hard for you to keep your hands off them at school and it seemed to be just as equally hard for them. One day during your free period, Steve pulled you into a nearby closet outside of the gym and fucked you against the wall as you tried not to scream, giving yourselves away. 

After a heated D&D session during a Hellfire club meeting, Eddie bent you over the table and pounded into you until you were quiet literally begging him to stop because you had cum too many times.

Of course, after the rough, the calm followed. One weekend, they took you to see the new Wes Craven movie, A Nightmare on Elm Street, that freaked Steve out but Eddie thought was amazing. Eddie took you to your first concert just outside of town and you had a blast listening to Dio live. Your favorite part though was being able to fall asleep next to him at his trailer afterwards. He looked so peaceful when he slept and all the anxieties he seemed to carry just disappeared.

Steve took you to a play at the theater and even bought you a beautiful dress that you loved. When the production started, he seemed bored until you held his hand and leaned against his shoulder. He kissed the top of your head as you smiled.

The sound of the bell shook you back into the moment as the three of you headed to your next class. This particular class you and Steve had together but you also shared it with Billy who continued to make the boy’s life hell. Today was different, however. Instead of coming in and flirting with you like he usual did, Billy angrily sauntered in and threw his body into the chair next to you. 

Anger was just radiating off him which is something you had seen in with Eddie and Steve. It wasn’t just a normal type of anger but one mixed with pain.

“Can I help you?”, he snapped. You hadn’t realized you were staring at him. 

“Are…are you alright?”

“Like you fucking care.”

“Hey!”, Steve growled. “Don’t talk to her that way.”

Billy glared at the boy as class begun. About halfway through you felt a light tap on your shoulder as a note slid across your desk. 

I’m sorry if I scared you, pretty girl. Just had a rough morning.

You turn your head to see him gently smiling at you, his blue eyes shimmering as they meet yours. 

You don’t scare me. You just aren’t displaying your usual arrogance is all.”

Billy chuckles as he leans back in his seat, writing something down before handing the paper back to you.

God, baby, do I love your attitude. 

ARE you alright?

My dad and I had a disagreement…about respect.

Your heart breaks slightly as you glance at him again. Just like Eddie and Steve, he seemed to have a shitty dad but unlike them it didn’t seem like he wanted to try and become a better man. If anything, you imagined his father probably carried the same demeanor Billy did.

You handed the note back to him without writing anything in return and he huffed a bit before passing it back to you. 

I can probably teach you a thing or two about respect, baby girl. If you’d let me. I assure you a bitch like Steve Harrington can only teach beautiful women like yourself that there are better men out there who can satisfy and take care of you. 

As the bell rung you crumpled the note and threw it at his chest as you rose to your feet. When your eyes met Steve’s firey ones you knew you were in trouble. 

##############

“Tina is having a party tonight. Are we going or…?”

“That is the vaguest invite I’ve ever gotten to a party.”, you giggle as you place the book in your hands back onto the shelf. “Who’s Tina?”

“I don’t know, Y/N. Fucking Tina!”, Masie smiles. “It’s supposed to be a big thing. Eddie will be there.”, she teases as you roll your eyes. 

You follow behind her as she continues to walk forward, heading towards the next aisle of books in the library when suddenly a ringed hand darted out from a dark room and pulled you in, closing the door. 

“Jesus! You scared me.” You breathed a sigh of relief as your eyes landed on Eddie and Steve. 

“Good. You should be scared. What were you and Billy Hargrove talking about?”, the metalhead asked. 

Your eyes lulled towards the other boy full of annoyance. “First off, tattle tell. Second, nothing. He yelled at me before class and just wanted to apologize.”

“That guy isn’t the type to apologize, Y/N.”

“Harrington, you didn’t tell me he yelled at her.”

“Hey, I got on him, alright? And even if he was ‘just apologizing’ like she claims then why were they going back and forth until the bell rang? He definitely said more than that.”

Your eyes met Eddie’s as understanding flashed through them. 

“Ah. I see. Seems they were talking about you, Stevie.”

“What about me?” The boy stepped back so his friend could take over as he loomed over you. “Answer the question. What the fuck did that asshole say?”

“Please…let it go. I don’t want you to get in trouble.”

“Oh. Okay, I get it. You think he’s better than me, hm?”

“I didn’t say that!”

Steve hand gripped your throat as he walked you back towards the wall. “Then what are you saying?”

“Why does it matter, Daddy? He’s not important.”

“It matters, little girl, because I say it does. Now…this is the last chance I’m giving you before we raise the blinds and spank you in front of all these people outside.”

You sighed as your head hung, telling him everything Billy had said. While you were talking, Steve’s palm had slide down your arm and steadily began tightening his grip as he got angrier. 

Eddie noticed the panicked look in your eyes as he stepped forward. “Ok, Harrington. She did good and answered you. Loosen your hold or let her go, man.” 

The boy blinked back into the moment, releasing you before opening the door to the study room and disappearing. 

“I just didn’t want to hurt him.”

“I know, sweetheart.”, Eddie pulled you into his arms. “I know. He’ll cool down by tonight. What did you want to do tonight, by the way? I was thinking we could rent a movie or something.”

“I can’t come over tonight. Masie invited me to go to a party with her.”

The boy pulled back from your embrace and sat on the table in front of you as he crossed his arms. “You didn’t say anything about a party before.”

“She just told me about it. I don’t know the host but it could be fun. You guys should come.”

“So, you’re going to a party at someone’s house you don’t know filled with people who have bullied you and hurt you at the last party you went to?”

Your eyes scanned his annoyed demeanor. “What the problem, Eddie?” His eyebrows raised as your jaw tightened. “I’m sorry, Sir.”

“Thank you. The problem is I don’t think you should go. You have all the popular assholes and I’m sure this other douchebag will be there.”

“Then come with me and show him who I belong to.”

Eddie sighs as he shakes his head. “No.”

A growl emits from your throat and his head snaps up to look at you. “Did Steve tell you that Billy calls me names like ‘pretty girl’ and ‘baby girl’ to? Hell, he shouts it in the fucking hallway. Why are you both still afraid to be seen with me at school?”

“First of all, you watch you tone when you’re speaking to me. Second, we are not afraid to be seen with you.”

“Oh please! Yeah, Steve sits with us at lunch but people think it’s because we’re dorks who help him with his homework. You guys didn’t even sit with me in our classes. Billy did.”

“I see. Then why don’t you go fuck him then!”

“Don’t test me, Eddie. I am NOT that shy girl anymore.” You both glare at each other. “You may be in charge of me or whatever but I deserve to be shown off.”

When he doesn’t respond, you huff out of the study room on a mission. 

“Y/N, where have you been? I’ve been looking—”

You pass by Masie out of the library and into the parking lot where you find Billy smoking a cigarette by his car. 

“Hey, pretty girl.”

“Do you want to go to a party with me tonight?!”

“Whoa. Um…yeah, sure. Sounds like fun.”

When you turn back around, you find Eddie, Steve, and Masie staring at you like you’ve gone insane. As you head back and grab your friend’s arm, you address them. “I deserve to be seen. I’m tired of everything being unclear!”

You were playing with fire but to you it was worth it.

############

“Wow. You look breath taking.” 

You smiled as Billy held his car door open for you. Tonight, you decided to go all out wearing a beautiful short sleeve dress that cut off just above your knee. The top was black and the skirt was a bright purple with a belt cutting the colors in half in the middle. Instead of wearing Eddie’s jacket, you decided on a black jacket of your own that still showed off your curves. Thankfully, your parents were out of town this weekend so they wouldn’t make you wear something else. 

The entire drive to Tina’s, Billy kept glancing over at your body.

“How, um, how are things with your dad? Did he still get on your case when you got home?”

He chuckled until he realized you were genuinely asking. “Oh, uh, no. They weren’t home and my stepsister is out with friends so no one to get on my case.”, he winks. 

“I get that. Is your mom a bit of hard ass as well?”

“No. Susan is alright.” You noticed his tone change so you decided to leave it there. “What about you?”

“My parents can be strict but nothing too dramatic.”

“Hm. How do they feel about you and King Steve?”

“There’s nothing between me and Steve.”

“Uh huh. Sure, honey. I’m not an idiot and I’m not blind. He obviously has a thing for you and vise versa. What I don’t get is why neither of you makes a move. Is it because of that long haired dude everyone calls a freak? I’ve seen you talk to him to. Keeping your options open?”

You exhale at his line of questioning, mostly because it’s loaded with condescension towards Steve and Eddie.

“I assume that’s why you invited me to this party. Hey, I’m not upset. I’ve told you before I’m more than happy to show you how a real man treats a queen like you, gorgeous.”

As soon as he pulls up to the house, you recognize Eddie’s van immediately. You look around for him and Steve, oddly feeling lonely that they weren’t beside you. Billy leads you into the kitchen and hands you a cup filled with bitter liquid. He laughs as you cough and rubs your back. 

“Don’t tell me you can’t handle your alcohol, baby girl!”, he shouts over the music. Some of the other kids swarm around him including Tommy. 

“Wow, Y/N. Getting around I see.”

Billy glares at him as he pulls the boy by the collar. “Hey! You show the lady some respect, asshole.”

Tommy holds up his hands in defense as he and some of the other boys head outside with Billy in tow. You refill your cup and slosh it back before following after them. As they set him up in front of keg, a strong cologne smell you’ve come to enjoy fills the air. 

“Having a good time?” Steve stands beside you as he watches the display before him. 

“I would hope so especially since I told her not to come.” Eddie snapped the lighter closed after lighting the cigarette in his mouth. 

“Yeah and then you told me I should just fuck him so…”, you shrug.

“Hm. Well you’ll have to tell us if he lives up to that promise of ‘being a better man that can satisfy you’.” 

You feel the tears sting your eyes as they speak. 

“Eddie told me what you said about wanting to be seen. I guess taking you on dates in town and spending time with you outside of school isn’t enough. We should smack a name tag on you or something that says ‘Eddie and Steve’s girl.’” When he finally turns to look at you, his eyes fully drink you in. “Still can’t just fucking be, can we?”

“Harrington!”, Billy saunters over with beer dribbling down his abs. “You had your chance. Pretty girl said she wanted to spend tonight with me. Go play with someone else.”

Eddie’s fists clench at his sides as he stops himself from punching the man in front him for putting his hands on you. You were theirs. Billy was touching something that belonged to them and what was worse was you didn’t move away or recoil at his touch but instead walked back inside the house with him.

After that moment, the tension in the air hangs between the three of you that no one else seems to notice. While you sit on the couch with your date, your eyes dart around, watching Steve dance with another girl while another flirtatiously runs her hand along Eddie’s chest as he leans in close to talk to her over the music. 

Angrily, you rise from your seat and head towards the kitchen to get more fuel for what you were about to do. 

“Hey! Hey, hey. You don’t need any more.” Billy reaches over trying to take the now empty up cup from your hand. 

“You don’t tell me what to do.”

His gorgeous blue eyes narrow down at as he smirks, bumping you with his chest as he gradually walks you back towards the counter. 

“Do you want me to?”

Your lips attach to his as you cling to his neck. He tasted better then you thought he would but the overpowering hint of nicotine was almost too much. Eddie tasted like cigarettes but he was a delicious mix of other things that drove you crazy. Steve’s lips always lingered with you even after you stopped kissing him. The best way to describe his taste was just that it was Steve. You could kiss them both until your own lips went numb. With Billy, you couldn’t remove his mouth from yours fast enough. 

They trailed down your neck as his strong palms gripped the back of your thighs and lifted you onto the countertop. Your fingers tangled in his hair as he grinded against your center. When you opened your eyes they met Eddie’s as he leaned against the fridge watching with his arms folded. He glanced out into the living room before turning to face you again, rising 3 fingers in the air. A shaky breath left you as he began counting down and as soon as he hit zero, Steve came into view. 

He asked the metalhead what he was doing before turning to you. Your pussy fluttered as you watched the fire quickly build in his eyes. 

“Billy…”, you whispered as Steve confidently strides towards you both.

“Yeah, baby?”

The man grabs his shoulder, yanking him around before punching him in the face. As he flies towards the opposite counter, Steve roughly grips your waist and places you on your feet, shoving you towards Eddie and out of the way. 

Billy laughs sarcastically as he stands to face him, taking a swing of his own as the boy tucks out of the way and hits him again. The other man grabs a nearby cup throwing the liquid in Steve’s face before punching him in the stomach. 

“No!” You lurch forward but Eddie grips your arm, pulling you back as he steps forward to take over. Coming from behind he grips the man’s arms, tugging him off of his friend. 

“Now, William, if you can’t fight fair then we won’t either.”

Steve stands to his full height and grabs Billy’s collar. “No more nicknames. No more hitting on her. No more even looking in her direction. She belongs to people already and you’re not one of them. Do I make myself clear?” The boy glares at him as his jaw tightens causing Steve to punch him again. “I SAID DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR!?”

“Yeah, man.”

“Good boy.” He pats his cheek as Eddie tosses him to the ground. Steve bypasses you as the metalhead grabs your arm and follows him out the front door towards his van. 

“You’re hurting me, Sir.” Your tone is feeble as you try and tug yourself out of his grasp. 

“Oh, did you hear that, Harrington? Calling me by my title like she knows how to follow instructions.”

They open the backdoors of the van and all but lift you inside before slamming the doors shut. As Eddie starts to drive down the road you sit behind his seat as you cling to your knees. You glance at Steve who’s still fuming as he glares out the windshield. You can’t help the tears that fall as you notice a cut that’s bleeding above his cheekbone near his eye where Billy had hit him. His attire still completely trenched in red punch. 

Steve’s eyes flick down towards you before he focuses his attention back to the window. “Save those tears, Y/N. We’re about to give you a real reason to fucking cry.”

“Daddy…I’m…I’m sorry.”

“No, little girl, but you will be.”

###########

As soon as you got three got back to Steve’s house, he pulled you out of the van and pushed you through the house till you reached his bedroom. 

“I think you should take over until I’ve calmed down a bit.”

“You. Sit.” Eddie gestures towards the bed and you immediately do as your told. “Do you want me to take care of his welt on your face?”

“No, dude. Not yet. Let her continue to see what her stupid fucking actions did.”, he spits as he takes a seat in his desk chair.

They expected to see you pout but when you squared your shoulders, it surprised them. “You were flirting with other girls to. I saw it!”

“Oh? You saw us kissing on other girls? Grinding our dicks between their legs?” You hung your head at Eddie’s words. “Yeah, that’s what I thought you fucking whore. Now shut the fuck up while I talk to Harrington here.”

“You also invited him and rode with him to Tina’s house. Who knows what else you did with him before you got there!”

“Nothing, Daddy! I swear!”

The metalhead digs through some of the other man’s things and finds what he is looking for. He marches up to you, tearing the duct tape from the role and placing it over your mouth. 

“Shut. Up.” He turns to Steve. “What were you thinking? Spanking?”

“I don’t know…she might enjoy that too much.”

“I know something she won’t enjoy.” A wicked smirk spreads across his face as he disappears heading outside towards his van. 

Steve’s eyes penetrate yours as you both wait. “So did he prove himself? Show you what a real man can do for a girl like you?” He chuckled when you shook your head. “That’s a shame. Makes all this drama seem like a waste. You fucking hurt me tonight. Way more than this.” He points to the cut on his face. 

“I—we--- missed you so fucking much while you were in New York this summer. We talked about you all the time. ‘Oh, when Y/N gets back maybe we can take her here.’ Or ‘Yeah, I think Y/N would enjoy this.’ Then you come back and we take fucking care of you yet it’s not enough?!” He sighs as Eddie enters the room again. “I’m sorry we apparently haven’t been clear enough about how much we fucking like you. Or maybe we made a mistake in trying this you because WE aren’t enough.”

You felt like absolute garbage. Steve was right. Since you had come home, they had done so much for you, showing you time and again how much they cared for you. Yeah, they didn’t parade you around school but they did spend time with you there; Steve sitting with you and befriending Masie while Eddie had even invited you to watch him and his friends play D & D in their Hellfire club. Literally the alternative would be to smack a name tag on you showing that they owned you. How had you never noticed before?

Eddie sat by your side as he removed the tape and tossed it on the floor. “Have you ever heard of the stop light system?” You shook your head as the tears cascaded down your face. “Green is good, Yellow is slow down, and usually Red is stop but in our case it’s Vanilla. So for example, right now, I’m seeing you cry like that and it’s scaring me a bit so I’m going to ask you what color you feel you are at right now.”

You wipe your face, turning to face him. “Green, Sir. I just… I feel so selfish.”

Eddie nods as he reaches for your wrists and clicks a set of handcuffs around one of them. “Too tight?”

“No, Sir. Thank you.”

He lifts your dress over your head before guiding you back against the pillows and chaining you to Steve’s headboard. His fingers gently remove your shoes tossing your clothes to the floor. 

His palms run down your skin as he watches your face. 

“Why do you feel selfish, little girl?”

“Because…Daddy is right. You both…have—”

While you were speaking, Eddie had slid his hand between your legs and had began pressing slow circle into your clit.

“Go on.”

“You both h-h-have been good to me—mmm—since I got hom-m-me.” He had gradually picked up his pace making you moan. “Why?”

“Why have we been good to you?”

You shook your head. “Why are you—mmm—making me f-feel good?”

“Good question, Munson.”, Steve squinted towards his friend.

“Watch the master work, Harrington.”, he winks. “Speaking off, can you grab the thing in my backpack. You’ll know it when you see it.” He chuckles as your body trembles and you cum. “I got the idea when I fucked her on our D &D table and that night we were trying not to bore her. I did some research and apparently, it’s very effective.”

“Eddie…please…”, you beg. You know where he’s headed with this. Rolling his eyes, he smacks you lightly across the face. “I’m sorry, Sir.”

“Still fucking apologizing instead of just listening the first time and following the fucking rules.” Eddie thanks Steve as he hands him a white wand. “I had to go two hours outside of Hawkins to buy this thing. This town is so closed minded, I swear. Now this, little girl, is wand. Makes sense, I mean it looks like one.” He displays it in front of you as the other boy plugs it into the socket by the wall. 

The metalhead pushes a button and it vibrates to life. “Now like most wands, this thing is magic.” He abruptly presses to your clit and you cry out at the feeling, your eyes promptly rolling back. “Supposedly, Stevie, this little vibrator is guaranteed to make someone cum hard every…single…time.” Between each word he pushes the device aggressively against you. 

They giggle as you pull against your restraints, your feet kicking nothing as you cum faster and harder than you ever had before. Three orgasms later and you body feels completely worn out. 

“Sir…please…it’s too much.”

“Aw poor baby. Is this too intense for your little pussy to take?” Eddie laughs as you nod. “Steve, why don’t you give her something else to focus on.”

The boy grins as he removes his shirt and takes off his pants with his boxers before crawling on the bed above your head.

“Can your hands still tap the headboard?”

“Yes, Daddy.” The metal clanks as you adjust your wrists slightly and prominently smack it with your palm. 

“Good girl. If you need to stop or get our attention just tap twice.” As soon as you confirm, he straddles his knees just above your shoulders, tapping your lips with his cock. “Open your mouth.” You do as he commands, bobbing your head as he groans. 

Eddie collects some of the slick between your folds, making you moan around Steve as he pushes two of his fingers deep inside of you. 

“God damn. You’re so fucking tight right now, sweetheart. Fuck. I can’t wait to stretch you open.” 

Steve grips your hair in his fingers. “Flatten your tongue. That’s it. Just like that.” His eyes squeeze shut as he pants out moans, thrusting in small motions as you gag around him. 

“Tonight, Y/N, we’re going to show you what Billy thought he was man enough to do.” The metalhead presses the wand on your bundle of nerves as he pumps his fingers into you. “We are the real men that can take care of and handle a woman like you. After tonight there will never be a fucking doubt in your mind.”

Steve felt your moans vibrate around him as you began to climax again, holding your head still as your throat practically closed around him. You coughed as he released you, shimmying his body till he was straddling your hips. He wiped your face with his arm as he scanned you for any signs of discomfort. “C-color?” The boy wasn’t used to asking yet, making a mental note to ask Eddie more questions about things like this later. 

“Green, Daddy.” Your gravel filled voice was just making him harder; if it’s possible. 

A now naked Eddie pushed Steve’s shoulder, signaling for him to get on the other side of you. He turns you on to your side facing him, lifting your leg over his waist. His lips passionately kiss yours as his hand holds the back of your neck. You whimper, feeling his cock breach your sex.

Your pussy clenches around him as you watch his mouth fall open in a silent moan as he slowly thrusts his hips, feeling you grip him tightly. 

Eddie tries to keep his eyes open as you lean your forehead on his when Steve runs his dick along your ass. The metalhead brings your mouth to this again, holding you to him as he feels you wince, the other man entering your body. “You’re ok. You’re ok, baby.”, he whispers as you tug against your restraints. “Good girl. Such a good fucking girl. Taking us both. I told you; no one will ever make you feel this good.” He gradually began picking up his pace as Steve began to do the same.

“He told me—fuck—about us falling asleep inside you. Maybe next time—mmm—you fucking behave we can…we can do that. God damn, Y/N.”

Steve hadn’t said a word but his grunts were music to your ears. His arms had wrapped around to your front, massaging your breasts as he occasionally kissed and sucked on your shoulder. 

The pain had long subsided and all that was left was the overwhelming pleasure of having them inside of you, hitting all the right places as they stretched you open. 

As you came, you screamed, feeling like your body was going to explode into a million pieces. Eddie followed, unable to hold back any longer as he hugged your head to his chest and released inside of you. Steve’s fingers dug into your hips as he held you, climaxing with a strangled grunt as his forehead pressed to your back. 

You three laid still for awhile until you couldn’t take the soreness in your arms any longer. “Eddie…”, you whimpered. The sound of his name caused his head to shoot up at attention. “My wrists hurt.”

“Shit. Baby, ok, let me…” He held your waist as he pulled out of you, reaching above you to click you free. “Y/N, you said they weren’t tight.” You followed his eyes to where you had deep red indents on your skin.

“They weren’t. Maybe I pulled on ‘em to hard.”, you pout. Your breath stutters as Steve carefully pulls out of you as well and slides off the bed. 

“Ed, go ahead and get a bath going. I’ll be right back.”

“Can you walk, sweetheart?”

“Yeah…just not very fast.”

He grins as he takes your hand and helps you off the mattress, guiding you towards the bathroom. “Well shit. Either Harrington is testing out new body washes or he got these for you.” A nice delicate smell fills the room as Eddie pours some of the liquid into the water. 

“I didn’t know what kind you liked so I just got what I thought smelled good.”, Steve came in with some bandages and an ice pack in his hands. “If you hate it just tell me—”

“No! I love it. What is it?”

His eyes light up a bit at your smile. “Um, it’s supposed to smell like the beach.”

“I’ve never been to the beach.”

“We’ll have to rectify that, immediately. Climb in, princess.” He reaches for your hand but you fold your arms tightly around your body. “What’s wrong?”

“I…I want to ask you both to sit with me but…I don’t think I deserve it.”

Eddie’s fingers lift your chin as he flashes you a comforting smile. “Nice to know meek Y/N IS still in there somewhere. Ask us, baby. Like you need it.”

“I do need it. Will you please sit with me?”

He reaches for your hand again as he climbs into the tub and you follow. Steve does the same, shifting the items in his hands as he places them on the side. You flinch as Eddie cleans you, leaning against his chest as you burrow into his neck making him chuckle.

“I may just settle for scarfs or ribbons or something because this?” He holds up your arms to display your wrists. “I don’t like this.”

“I didn’t even realize…”

Steve places the ice pack on them and you hiss at the cold. A comfortable silence falls between you three as Eddie traces his finger along your back and down your arms. 

“I’m sorry… for everything. You’re right. I mean even if we didn’t have this.”, you gesture between you. “You do a lot for me and I have so much fun with you guys outside of the bedroom. I don’t know, I guess I just hate that guys like Billy feel like they can hit on me freely and vice versa.”

You reached for the antiseptic Steve had brought and leaned forward to clean the cut on his face, feeling his eyes scanning over you as he heavily sighs. “I’m sorry if we made you feel like you don’t deserve to be seen. We just thought since this is so unorthodox, you’d want to keep it a secret but Y/N, I don’t hide that I like spending time with you or that you’re my friend. I was telling someone the other day about that creepy fucking movie we saw.”

“Oh my god, Harrington. Calm down. It wasn’t even that bad.”

“Munson, the dude pulled a guy THROUGH his bed and tossed back his blood. What the fuck?!”

You giggled as you placed the tiny Band-Aid over his cut. “Evil Dead is much worse.”

“Thank you, sweetheart.”

“Hm, debatable.”

“I told the Hellfire guys about the concert we went to.”, Eddie grinned as you leaned back against his chest. “Next month, Poison is coming to town and they said we should all go. I, um, I don’t actually have a lot of people to tell or talk to but, um, Wayne wants to meet you one of these days.”

Your own grin grows as the remaining tension leaves the air. 

“Can I ask you something before we pretend that you never went on a date with Billy Hargrove?” Steve smiles as you laugh and nod. “I have to know…is his kissing like God’s gift to mankind?”

“Dear Lord, no. That was one of, if not, the worst kiss I’ve ever experienced and I’m not just saying that! It was like…kissing an aggressive ashtray.”

They both cackle as you wrap Eddie’s arms around you and place your legs in Steve’s lap.

may i request a Jadon Sancho story please! where he’s hanging out with his friends 1 night but you text that you miss him and so he ditches them and they clown him for it 😭 he comes to pick you up and there’s a sweet reunion kiss/cuddle in the car :’)

i miss u | jadon sancho

warnings: none, just fluffy!!

word count: 601

notes: hope u like!! sorry for the bad title, I was out of ideas 🫠

masterlist | for now, requests are open!

It was a busy night when Jadon Sancho went out with his friends, laughing loudly amidst the excitement of the city. After returning to Dortmund, all he wanted to do was get reacquainted with the city he had lived in for a while and get to know his new clubmates better.

Meanwhile, you were at home, missing him, and decided to send him a message full of nostalgia:

y/n: "I miss you love 😔❤️".

It had been three days since you last saw each other, but for you it seemed like an eternity. You understood that he needed time off to go out with his friends, and that was fine with you, but that didn't stop you from missing and being affectionate with your boyfriend.

When he received the message, Jadon turned away from his friends, concentrating on his cell phone to answer you. He always replied on time when he wasn't busy with games and training.

jadon: I can't wait to see you again, do you want me to pick you up?

y/n: ah no need jad, you're with your friends I don't want to get in the way

jadon: you're not in the way y/n, I love my friends but your company always makes any place better for me

Y/N could swear she felt her heart melt. She was so lucky to have him as her boyfriend.

Jadon's distraction caught the attention of his friends who began to ridicule him. "Hey, Jadon, looks like Y/N's getting some attention, huh?" teased one of his friends with a mischievous grin.

Ignoring the jokes, Jadon replied: "You know how it is, when the right person calls, we answer." He turned away from the group and headed towards where you were.

Jadon parked in front of your house and flashed his headlights as it was always empty. You went downstairs and ran quickly to his car. As you approached, he opened the driver's door with the clear intention that this was where Y/N should enter. She got the message, got into the car and snuggled into his lap. Jadon closed the door and turned on the radio and the car's heating, making the atmosphere perfect. He turned to you, his eyes reflecting affection, wrapped his arms around your waist and you wasted no time in grabbing the back of his neck and giving him a kiss. As you looked at him, you noticed the sympathetic look in his eyes and, before you could say anything, Jadon smiled and said: "I've been missing you too."

"You're so cute!"

"You're the cute one." He said, giving you an Eskimo kiss and you laughed. Jadon stroked your hair and you hugged him tighter. All the time in the world wouldn't be enough to make her miss you.

"Do you want me to hold you closer?" He laughed when you squeezed him a little tighter. Jadon ran his hands up your back, caressing you lovingly.

"No that's not it, ugh-I just want to curl up inside you. Is that weird?"

"A little, but I don't mind at all."

"The fact that you love me even though I'm weird makes me love you even more."

"You're my weirdo and I love you anyway." She smiled and moved closer to kiss him again. No matter where they were going, they could always look forward to those moments and the affection they shared in the car.

As Jadon drove through the illuminated city, the conversation between you flowed with laughter and confidences. The tension of your friends' mockery disappeared completely.

Hey there, I love your writing style especially for vergil:)

I have an angsty idea since you like angst.

Have you heard of the troupe where "the older person ruins the life of the younger one that they wanted to help." ?

I think vergil and the reader are meant for this dynamic lol.

Ayy, thanks, means a lot to hear that 💜 Though I haven't heard of that trope, I'm gonna do my best to do it justice, don't worry. Thank u for the ask, I do love angst. 🫠

Misguided (Vergil X Reader angst)

Vergil had to have been the most overprotective man you'd ever met. He hated seeing you sad, or even wearing a frown, and went to extremes to keep that from happening. He'd done his very best to protect you and keep you safe, but it seemed that what he did wasn't enough.

Or maybe, it was too much.

In order to keep you from ever having to feel sad or pressured, he scared away all your friends. In order to keep your life stress-free, he threatened and blackmailed your boss so you would receive lighter workloads. To keep you all to himself, he intimidated all the men in your life so no one would be tempted to take you away. To make sure you'd never die from an accident, he secretly sabatoged your car. To make sure you could never get robbed or assaulted, he stole your keys and never let you go out without him coming too. He also took control of all your affairs, from paying the bills to doing your taxes so you wouldn't have to worry.

Anything you could have possibly needed to do, he did for you. He took care of you the way a parent looks after a child, growing more and more possessive and jealous each day. He thought that he was doing you a favor; that taking on all the responsibilities was making your life easier, when in reality, it wasn't.

Your friends refused to contact you, your boss had fired you because he was afraid to give you work because he couldn't afford to pay an employee who did nothing, and no one you knew, even your family, would speak to you because they were afraid Vergil would come after them if they said something to make you feel bad. You now had nothing and no one except for Vergil, who insisted on taking charge of everything in your life. You felt so trapped, so alone and isolated.

Could you really be blamed you now that you wanted to leave?

"I'm sorry," You told him, tears running down your face as you dragged your suitcase to the front door. "I just can't do this anymore. I...I can't live like this."

"Why not?" Vergil demanded, gripping your arm in a fearful attempt to keep you from leaving. "You have everything here. What more could you possibly need?"

"That's the problem," You replied, furiously wiping your eyes with yor free hand. "I have everything here, and at the same time, nothing."

"What do you mean?" Vergil asked, his voice unusually quivering. "You are safe here. There is nothing that can hurt you. If you go out there, you will be alone. No one will come to help you."

"Exactly," You said, sniffling. "I'm alone. I have nothing. Thanks to you, I'm jobless, I have no friends, and my family won't even speak to me!"

"But you have everything you need here," Vergil insisted, tightening his grip on your arm. "You do not need a job, or friends, if I am taking care of you."

"But I don't want that!" You exclaimed, jerking your arm away. "I'm a grown adult, I can take care of myself! I don't need you to baby me! I want to live my own life and make my own decisions!" When you saw the shocked, heartbroken expression on Vergil's face, you felt a lump form in your throat. Swallowing hard, you spun around and unlocked the door.

"I'm sorry, Vergil, this...this is hard to say, but...it's over."

With that, you tore open the door and disappeared into the night, leaving the shocked, despondent half devil standing in the darkened hallway all alone.

Sinking into a nearby chair with his head in his hands, Vergil had to wonder what he'd done to have such a tragedy befall him. What did he do wrong? Why did you have to leave? He gave you everything you wanted, why did you still want more? Wasn't what he did enough for you?

What the forlorn half-devil failed to realize was that though his intentions were pure, his methods for carrying them out were horribly misguided.

WOAH its been a while 😵‍💫

Hey gang, sorry I disappeared. Working a new job last summer and now starting college this year has taken a lot of energy and motivation out of me, but I’m hoping to make a comeback!! (we’ll see how long that lasts lmao). Anyways enough yapping, here’s some (non-chronological) doodles I’ve done :3

(my dnd oc is on the left, and his twin/my friend’s character is on the right :3)

(obsessed with these masks)

gale waterdeep & mr. kar’niss❤️

[charlie-artlie]

just got back from the fnaf movie, i really need to go to bed but i have to get some thoughts out NOW 🫠

positives

movey good C:

matthew lillard was just so so good god bless

the animatronics were amazing, i really wasn’t expecting the scene where they all played and had fun together????? it was such wish fulfillment i was just sitting there like is this real

(on that note HEY. someone had better gif that fronnie scene were theyre just playing and dancing together. 👉 get on it giffers)

maybe controversial but i liked the matpat and coryxkenshin cameos a lot they were funny and didnt detract from the flow too much

the jumpscares were not terribly hacky like i thought theyd be, and the balloon boy one was really good 👏

also IM NOT CRAZY THAT WAS A CIRCUS BABY REFERENCE RIGHT??? AAAAAAAAAA

all of the parts and service room was so cool tbh, all of the creepy old endos and parts, the little fetch easter egg, all of it so so good

the easter eggs in general were really fun, im looking forward to watching this movie be micro analyzed for years to come

the springlock scene 🤌 cinema…..

that scene were william roundhouse kicks mike is just like. so amazing. this is going on the positives. i cant believe they did that. what an amazing movie.

in general the lighting and sound design were very nice (i mean as a layperson i thought they were nice idk XD)

THE SONG WAS IN IT THEY DID THE FUCKING THING 😭👏

negatives

no puppet?

i feel like this story suffers from the same issue TSE has, where by straying from the games canon you’ve actually made things so much more complicated? while some things definitely made sense (vanessa being williams daughter was a nice touch and made sense for both characters fight me, also a great nod to how shes mind controlled in game canon) others feel like they just made things more complicated? like, why was garrett just a random kid in a random campsite? why was william there, why did he kill him, why do the ghost kids know him? i guess you could say, if there is a reason, it will be revealed in a later movie? but thats so many unnecessary steps when all you had to do was have garret go missing from a freddys location (like in TSE). like, mikes brothers disappearance is linked to freddys, thats why he needs to work there, you could save a lot of time aunt jane ate up. speaking of.

its such a hilarious plot hole that they just totally move past aunt janes death. like this guy is fighting tooth and nail for custody of his sister against his aunt and she shows up dead at his house and nobody is suspicious or cares. also he shows up at the hospital with a stabbed cop who’s apparently in a coma and cant verify his story at all?? the plot armor on this man!!

i realize they needed to put abby in danger at some point or else why would she even be here, but having the ghost kids want to ghostify her doesnt make a whole lotta sense >_> like they kept saying william was confusing them but they never really showed that, golden freddys spirit kid seemed pretty aware of the situation the entire time.

that one jumpscare with the kid with black goopy eyes was pretty silly lmao. feel like they could have captured the creepypasta vibe better

this is semi positive and negative, but i really really liked vanessa’s creepiness i just wish theyd leaned into it a bit more? that scene where shes staring lovingly up at the animatronics and then asks mike to dance is just so 👌 like girl what is wrong with you fr ���� but then her behaviors dont make much sense after that, i was a bit confused as to when she was supposed to be trying to get mike to stay and when she was supposed to be warning him away.

the writing in general was definitely a bit weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ eh

sorry if my negatives seem like bummers, but i really enjoy picking apart movies i like, and i tend to like things more when there is stuff to pick apart! (sensory fandom experience…..) in general i really enjoyed the movie and i think most fnaf fans will! it’s fun cheesy horror that has a lot of love for the source material without trying to BE it, which wouldn’t be possible anyway

man theres definitely other things i could say but i really have to go to sleep now 😭 gn!!!

[leffee]

Dom Russell x vinnie?

Okay sooo uh, I know that you probably wanted some headcanons or something buttt... listen, that ask got me in the mood sooo 🫠

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sound of the front door being closed reverberated through the entirety of the small apartment. Vinnie threw his bag aside, sighed, and slid down the door dramatically with closed eyes. The only good thing about this day was the fact that it was Friday. Once he got to taking off his sneakers another person stepped into the hallway.

“Long day, huh?”

Vinnie’s facial expression brightened greatly and some of the tiredness disappeared. “Like every other Friday. Hi, Rusty.”

“Hello, Vincent.” Russell smirked gently. “Are you planning to get up any time soon or…?”

“I wouldn’t mind a little bit of help.”

Rolling his eyes good-naturedly, Russell stepped closer and reached out his hand, soon holding a paler one in and pulled hard on it, too hard.

“Woah!” A few attempts to balance himself later, Vinnie almost landed on the ground again. Almost, because Russell’s second hand wrapped around him, helping him keep his standing position. The green-haired man eyed both of the hands supporting him before managing a small grin, “Oops, sorry.”

“It’s okay, I have no problem holding you, even if it is because you couldn’t stand up properly.” Russell grinned back, his hands not moving from their place.

“Hey, you’re the one who pulled too hard!” Vinnie tried to hit that accusatory tone but it was hard not to let his eyes drift away from his boyfriend, especially when feeling that familiar warmth in his chest. He coughed, “You can let me go now, you know?”

“I’m aware, but I think that I shouldn’t. You’re tired, who knows what will happen once I let you go.”

“Well- woah.” Vinnie wasn’t able to finish as he was lifted slightly off the ground and they started moving. “Alright, alright, no more talking, I see.”

Several steps and one closed door later they arrived in front of their room’s humble but cozy enough couch. With learned skill, Russell sat and then lied down on his back, his boyfriend landing on top of him. For a while there was silence, disturbed only by the ticking of the wall clock and the sound of Vinnie wiggling his body into a more comfortable position. He let out a sigh of contentment, feeling a repetitive stroking motion on his back.

“It should be illegal to have college classes until such late hours.” He murmured.

“I agree, but at least it’s not that often and on Fridays. So right after we have a whole weekend for ourselves.”

“That’s what I like to hear. Wait, aren’t you going to study?” Vinnie raised his brow, now looking up at the other who shook his head.

“Fortunately there’s nothing that I need to study for at the moment. I suppose I could try to get ahead if I wanted to but I’d rather spend my time with you.” He planted a soft kiss on the freckled cheek while his legs wrapped quite tightly around Vinnie’s, a non-verbal way to convey “You’re not going anywhere for now,” – a message that made pleasurable shivers run down Vinnie’s spine as he half-heartedly attempted to release his lower limbs.

“You know, you’re lucky that I don’t want to free myself anyway, otherwise I totally could.” He claimed jokingly.

“Oh yeah?” Russell inquired in a similar tone but didn’t give the other time to reply. Before Vinnie could react, their positions changed, with him now on his back, Russell pinning him down gently but firmly and his hands pressing into his shoulders.

“Damn, either you’re getting stronger or I’m getting weaker.” Vinnie murmured dreamily as he lied there with messy hair and flushed cheeks.

“I think it’s actually mostly up to the element of surprise. But hey, I’m not complaining.” Russell’s head lowered and their lips finally met. His fingers tangled themselves in his boyfriend’s hair who gently digged his fingers against his lover’s shoulder blades. Speaking of whom, at one point he changed his destination, his lips wandering lower to Vinnie’s neck, sometimes going for his collarbone only to return higher after. Soft noises were escaping them both as time lost its meaning for a blissful while, minutes turning into moments.

That was until third presence walked into the room.

“Do you two think you can cut it short today?”

A purple and green pairs of eyes quickly redirected their gaze to the newcomer, but their owners’ positions hardly changed. Russell merely sat up straighter to give Vinnie some space to talk.

“Hi, Sunil.” Vinnie greeted sheepishly and gave a small wave.

“Hello.” Their pyjama-clad friend waved back and shook his head genially. “I see you’re both in a good mood, but seriously, I need to be able to fall asleep now.”

“Fall asleep…?” His best friend asked while simultaneously trying to get his hair back to their regular, not messy look, “It’s only 9 pm though- Russell!” He was cut off as Russell nuzzled against his neck, making Vinnie jump at the sensation.

“Sorry not sorry.” His boyfriend shrugged but stopped his advances making Sunil shake his head again.

“I’m aware, but I need to get up at 5 am tomorrow and, you know, I’m not exactly a heavy-sleeper.”

Russell and Vinnie exchanged glances and nodded.

“Alright, we’ll be quiet.” The former assured while Vinnie let out an over exaggerated whine making Russell glance at him, “We have a whole weekend after all,” and Vinnie’s expression immediately made a 180-degree change.

“Thanks, guys.” Sunil nodded at them and left the room, closing the door behind him.

After a moment of silence Vinnie asked, “Sooo, should we go to sleep too?”

“Sunil only said that we need to be quiet, not silent.” Russell replied thoughtfully. “Besides, we both know you won’t fall asleep at this hour.” Vinnie smiled unevenly at that. “And I’m not sleepy either. I say we turn the lights off and watch something. While wearing headphones of course. You can even sit on my lap if you want to, sounds good?”

“Perfect.”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know I said I won't be writing fanfics but the urge was just too great, I still had to hype myself up for like a week. Also, it was supposed to be 500 words but it has almost twice as many. Whatever it is I did it now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[aridarlings]

Uh hi 🤠 yeah I know I was gone without warning but that’s what happens when you face a little thing called ✨art burnout✨

Yeah sorry for the disappearance, I had a crisis that involved me wondering if art is something I wanted as a forever job but I completely cut that thought! I had to fight myself and realized that I wasn’t facing art block but a burnout as if y’all don’t know…

I just completed a year of school! Yippe another 2 years or more depends-😂 but yeah i decided to show a drawing I started for mermay but never finished it cause that’s where finals came in and after May is where I decided to go traditional andddddd then disappear.

Overall I had to remember that I’m not in a “work/deadline” mindset and it’s fine since I can draw what I feel like and when I want… unless you know I’m in a class- then that’s different.

It’s unfinished but hey! The characters are finished just not the background which I have to convince myself that it’s fine cause it’s for me 😭 I think I’m ready to return? I have ideas, but I’m nervous since I start school at the end of august but hey, así es la vida y todos tenemos que sufrir por un buen resultado🫠

Anyways have Mike and Jordán for (Late) Mermay 2023🐳

[bits-and-babs]

Hey, Jas! 👋 Welcome back! I’m super excited for your future works!☺️ I wanted to tell you what I love about your writing specifically so I went to your master list and started looking for some particular lines and passages that struck me. Well half an hour later I was still rereading your works in a haze and basically forgot what I was doing in the first place. So I guess your stories make me forget everything and loose myself in them. Even a short drabble makes me completely mesmerized 💜 Sorry that I couldn’t find something more specific🥲I’m gonna stare into nothing and daydream for a while now🫠

Honey, I love seeing you in my notifications 🥹 you make me feel like I am up there with the best writers, the way you compliment my works consistently x

This is such a lovely response?! I love that you enjoy each of my pieces so much that you can’t pick one. This is exactly how I feel when someone asks me to choose a favourite of my own works. Feel free to let me know if you find one though, I always love to see which pieces really stand out in peoples minds xx

I’ve mentioned before how I want to help people through my work. I want them to feel, to disappear, to care about my characters and the way I write for them. This little review of my blog lets me know I’m fulfilling that dream 🥹 thank you for taking the time to let me know!

and feel free to daydream in my inbox! I’d love to hear your thoughts (or thots!) about some of our blorbos! 💛

Tell me something you love about my writing || ask inbox

Wendigo News

Heys guys! Really sorry for the inactivity. A lot of health stuff going on.

Finally went to an orthodontist because I can actually afford it with my insurance through my job. Told me my jaw and all are gonna be one of their more difficult cases but it’s fixable. 2 years in braces. 🫠 Totally not a confidence sinker. But at least I can say good bye to jaw pain and lockjaw and hello gorgeous confidence boosting smile!

Had my monthly visit to my psychologist. She literally like a mom to me. Since my biological parents neglected me and left me for dead and then my adoptive parents abused me for 15 & 1/2 years until I finally ran away. My “new” family, I ran away to live with my friend who helped me, are amazing. Consider me own of their own. 😭 💕

Back onto the topic lol. We were just chatting about a visit I had with my adopters (I don’t call them my parents. You lose your title as a parent the second you harm a child, in my eyes at least. The wife was the main abuser. The dad just stood by and let it happen because the wife would turn on him if he did). I’m still in contact with them because my biological brother is still with them. He was too young for me to be able to safely and legally run away with him. He wasn’t a legal adult at the time.

I ended up just like spewing out like all these stories of the things she used to do to us that I thought was normal. Some, obviously I knew was abuse. Other were more covert. Like less obvious. And I was telling her how like the first 6 months in my new family just fucked me up mentally so hard. Because the dynamic was SO DIFFERENT. Like sure, there were arguments and all, but they were still respectful. There was no name calling. No degradation. No manipulation. None of that. All the things I was used weren’t happening. It was a complete and utter culture shock. Which is how I came onto just spewing out all these stories.

Fast forward to afterwards, my psychologist just sat there in silence for a good minute or two. Then she was like, “That’s not crazy. That just plain cruel and sadistic. The shit they did to you is fucked up and heart breaking. That shit fucks you up bad.” And like I couldn’t help but laugh. Idk. Laughing about it kinda like helps me disconnect from the trauma. It hurts just thinking about it. Y’a know? But she ended up asking me if I have a therapist. I told her no, because with Covid, everyone got booked. And then finding a good one is hard too. So, she told me, “Don’t worry about. I’m going to find you a therapist, and a good one. You need to talk that shit out. Get that shit out of your system.”

Since talking about that I’ve kinda been out of it. Like I knew what they did was bad, but like hearing and seeing my doctor’s reaction when she’s probably dealt with hundreds of patience like this kinda puts it into perspective. Y’a know? So, I’m trying. I’m not spiraling. Just kinda trying to process it all I guess.

Sorry for ranting. I know some of you are gonna be like, “Wendigo, like why are you saying all this?” Like I know some won’t care. That’s fine. I just know that maybe someone out there will read this and be like “I’m not alone.” Kinda thing. And just knowing that, helps things feel more bearable. Yes this shit is hard to read an all. But I’m not going just be silent about it. That’s what they want you to do. Im going to talk about it. Make people aware. When you live through a situation like this, you quickly become a specialist lol 😂 like I’m constantly studying and learning about my diagnosis. About my CPTSD, and how its the parent of my bipolar disorder, about my autoimmune disorder, etc. You have to be because you’re going to be living with this for the rest of your life.

You don’t “get over it”. Your body holds memories. It’s why you flinch at anything. It’s why you feel constantly alert. Even if YOU do NOT remember, your body does and reacts accordingly. Shit doesn’t disappear. You just learn how to handle and live with it better. I’m not trying to sound depressing. It’s just what I’ve learned.

So if anyone ever needs to rant, ask questions, or just talk to someone to get shit off your chest, IM HERE. My messages are ALWAYS open to you. It’s a safe place here.

[vampire-exgirlfriend]

Hey so I was off tumblr for a little bit and wanted to read your Iron and Ash series again but you masterlist isn’t showing up for me and I can’t see any of the series in my reblogs?? Idk if tumblr just had and attitude or if you already said something about this lol sorry if you did.

Love your writing!!!!!

Ugh Tumblr always has an attitude and mobile keeps making my bio disappear with my masterlist link in it🫠

But here's the link for you, love. Thank you so much for reading and revisiting my lil story 🖤

[hellfirenacht]

Prev anon here, and yeah I can respect that. Tbh I also had a shit time reading it tho lmao, I only really started to like it during my re-reads.

I never really re-read the weed deal scenes however because I kinda hated that plot tbh,,

I did feel like the book was def outta character tho..

But the scene I disliked the most was him arguing with Ronnie? Like dude, wtf? She was worried about her Best friend because he just disappeared on her?? and he just snaps at her with his comment about her having a scholarship to NYU when he was just talking about how excited he was for her?? (tbf he does admit that he only pushed her away bc of his insecurity later in the book but fucking stillll 🫠)

And then they're make up is so rushed at the end of the book? "Oh hey, I'm sorry" "ok cool" "want a ride?" "No" *Kid getting beat up* "hey I'm a freak" *end credits* WHAT??

Anyway, I'm really sorry you had such an awful time reading FOI tho. I legit cried at times because of how much of a dick he was in that book for whatever reason?? I mostly just tried to scavenge whatever little pieces of his backstory that I could get- like Eddie waiting with him mom for his dad to come home as a kid, Elizabeth introducing him to Chicago blues & teaching him how to dance to it and such, really just any references to his mom.

My favorite scenes were definitely Eddie in the recording booth with Paige where he opens up to how music and his kind of music is important to him, Eddie going to the record shop and crying at seeing a record that his mom had and also Eddie's house burning down weirdly enough? You can just feel Eddie's literal fucking panic as he watches his mother's records melting in the fire and to me, it really just settles in that his mom meant a lot to him and it's honestly probably my favorite because of that?

but yeah, seriously- I'm sorry that FOI is really triggering for you :( </3 so I sincerely hope you have a good day & you're my favorite writer btw !! (Wing man, the isekai series and 'cmom it's just one night' are my personal favs) /gen /pos

Anon, you have all of my love and affection. It will never cease to amaze me that people like my writing and go as far as to call me their favorite and for that I will always appreciate you 💜 (sorry I'm also fucking slow lol)

Anyway that said...

Eddie going from insecure to sure of himself was so phoned in! It was scenes like him fighting with Wayne and Ronnie that made me feel like this book could have been written for anyone who wasn't Eddie. Again, it feels like there's a huge disconnect with both Eddie's. It felt so generic and just beat by beat for how the story went.

Also, let's talk about Paige here. Do I have a weird jealousy thing with her and Eddie? Yes. But the way the fandom treated her like a bad guy was such B's her biggest crime was liking Eddie and doing what she thought would help both of them.

"Eddie in FOI gets all the bitches" NO! He got one girl who had an interest in him, who HE USED, just like the two girls before Eddie USED HIM. he said that the girls he dated before only wanted to get with the freak and were never actually interested in him. He wasn't even The Freak then! He was as much of a "freak" as Johnathan in season 1. Paige was even upset when he came to her again and he only wanted her to sign him. Like, come on guys.

Also I'm with you when it comes to Eddie and his mom's back story. The record scene made me cry. I also nitpick and take bits and pieces. "take what resonates, leave what doesn't."

So in my fics, Ronnie and Eddie will always make up. Eddie WILL grovel though. I'm sorry but Eddie is not innocent in that book. But he is 18, so I get it.

It always comes down to "this doesn't connect. I don't feel closer to Eddie" but that's just me being a broken record.

[taegularities]

Hey Ridd!! Sorry for the rant in advance..!!

I haaatteee ir when Tumblr loses my asks 😭😭😭😭 2 of my asks sent to you have literally just disappeared.

You knew about the first going amiss, which was pretty much Love, warmth and Hugs for you as well as sooooooo much Love for our CMI couple and adoration for SBW and all that it encompasses. My hope and prayers that whatever is in store for the CMI couple, may everything for them come to pass in such a way that they face everything *together* and not apart 🥲

The other ask was sent right after I completed reading CMI Seven. (This is an unedited snip of it since I was adding my comments to the notepad to send them all together in an ask. This is what remains saved on my NP - No edits and all the jk gifs I searched up gone amiss)

Will you still give me a Goodnight's kiss or..?

Here, my hearteu cracked a little

Press the lightest kiss against.

.. and then broke

The puffy cheeks, the youthful pout, the big, big eyes flashing to the ground. Unsure what to say, unsure what you're thinking of him

Mhm.. My big girl?

I'm in a puddle!! 🫠🫠🫠

My feisty little girl.

Aaaaaeeeekk!!!!! This Lovee 🥰🥰🥰

A big hand waves in tiny

🥺 Baby Koo..

I'm already more than halfway through.. I don't want this to endd!! 😭😭

Where's the focus on the Underwear? You can barely see it. Are people plotting against you?

The panic setting in! She's spiralling. I'M Spiralling!!

And then I totally lost myself in the story... !

This was totally worth the wait Rid! So Much Love, albeit veiled for sometime, but present nonetheless. They deserve the world 💓💓

But now I can't wait for CMI10!! 🤍🤍

PS: Seems like my ask is one amongst those that disappeared just like that. I had sent it lil bit before your hiatus. Just a bit of Positivity, concern and Love for yu. 🤍Ah no worries, I'd be sending many more of those for yu regardless. Although, now I'm gonna go off to see if there's a way to find sent asks and resend them! 😂

Much Love n Hugs 🤍🤍

Again, sorry for the Loooonnnggg as msg!! 🤍🤍🤍

HEY!! never apologise for long messages!! im slow with asks sometimes, but i genuinely love reading long, elaborate ones!! first off, tumblr is cruel for swallowing your messages, i definitely didn't get the second one :') but i did receive the first and it was the sweetest thing ever, it truly means a lot to me that you've been enjoying this series so much. like i literally saw you reading through it on wp and loved all you had to say :')

also so grateful you read cmi9.5 so fast 🥺 not wanting it to end is one of the biggest compliment ever. fret not though, i've been working on the next main chapter and am hoping to have it out v soon!! im very scared, like i truly hope it'll be worth the wait, too. seriously, thank you for all your support. here's to tumblr behaving next time and letting your asks go through!! drop by literally anytime 🥺🤍

[loser-brain]

Alright, since we all hate the new layout I want to add to it.

Since we are getting plagued by One Piece ads I have to say, with all the clutterness because of the new layout. It's taking waaaaaayyy too much space.

The ad I had before literally took up so much space I had to scroll a bit down to see an actual post

Everyone hated the clown ad because it was in the way of the Radar. In the old layout it would’ve been fine to have it in the empty space to the left hell next time have Buggy (the clown name btw) to the left below "Go Ad-Free"

"But it'll get in the way of the create button"

No one uses that button anyway, we all use the buttons that are at the top.

[Image with buggy logo edited smaller and to the bottom left with a caption below it saying "This is better!!," While the original image to the bottom right has a caption above it saying "This is not!!"]

These are the buttons I'm talking about in case someone gets confused (mostly talking to new users here)

"But it'll get in the way of the sidebar menu!"

make the ad disappear when the sidebar menu drops 🫠 like it's not that hard to visualize an end product/end goal.

These ads are because of the clutterness of the layout is more on the force end. More on the hey look hey look hey look hey look do you see it do you do you do you do you

like yes... I do see it... You have it plastered everywhere right in my face. Practically suffocating me/making me hate this ad.

The Pikaman ad was memorable because it was not in our faces as aggressively as this. It was not in the way like how Buggy was. It was just there doin' an ad, in which the community has a love and hate relationship with.

With the One Piece ads. Yeah, sorry but with how you placed Buggy he became an annoyance right from the get-go because he was in the way of Radar. And because he was in the way of Radar many people's first impressions were not happy ones. Instead of cultivating many fans to be hyped for the show on Netflix, you made it everyone's number-one enemy.

So to sum up, because of this new layout, Tumblr made it easy for everyone to hate a certain thing because of how cluttered everything is.

Love in the Air messy Review 1-4

Hellooooooo guess who is back for a messy review.... It has been some time. I think it has been a year since I wrote my last messy review BUT I have a new obsession and I need to scream about it. So I am back but seeing as I have seen 5 episodes so far, It will be a messy review of 4 episodes. I will do one later this week for episode 5

Here we Go "Love in the Air" EP 1-4.

Now before we dive in, I think MAME did right by splitting up de couples because this time we don't have to focus on other couples, which suits me just fine!!!

So we start the first episode with Rain being stuck in de well no pun intended rain.... pouring rain for that matter and of course his car broke down, at this point, I didn't realize yet how cute he is but anyway.. Here enters Payu, who drives up on his cool bike and well his hotness🔥 (It surprised me that the steam wasn't coming off of him🫠) And magically he is a mechanic and helps out Rain, Rain of course thinks he is handsome but after fixing his car Payu disappears and we skip to Rain at college, where we also meet Sky, his best friend, who has the most amazing facial expressions! Rain at this point has a crush on Ple and tries to win her over but anyway. He asks about the senior they were discussing and after hearing he is a god, he asks for his name with is Payu...

Now after pursuing Ple, which fails big time, he goes to this party that his seniors are giving, and here enters Payu, wet and with a man bun and just hot.. Rain is happy to see him and feels disappointed when he thinks Payu doesn't recognize him and instead of thanking him he leaves without talking to him but then of course you are guessing it right his car breaks down AGAIN (maybe just buy a new car but hey..) After hearing him honk, Payu comes to check...(what a coinicindence..) long story short, he begs Payu to help him, and at this point it's safe to say Rain's love language is touch.. because he keeps touching Payu, what of course makes Payu think he wants him(but seriously who wouldn't want him...)

Payu is nice and takes him back to his house(garage) and after Rain changed his clothes, Payu offers him to help dry his hair and I'm sorry but Rain was way into that and I get why Payu thought he wanted him... Anyway Payu makes his move by kissing him in THE FREAKING NECK!!(remember w are only in episode 1!!!!!!!) Rain fights it at first but he is STRUGGLING!! (can't blame him😇) and even he knows where this went wrong because yes boy you were definitely flirting(unintentionally but still🤭) after "fighting" Payu off, Payu tells him to sleep on the couch but the sneaky bastard doesn't give him a blanket and has the aircon at 16 degrees(I'm european I don't do Fahrenheit) after trying he sneaks into Payu's bed, which is quite funny as he is poking him to check. The next morning he wakes up and even checks to see if he is still wearing his pants...this boy but then of course Payu teases him and tells him

"just because you are wearing your clothes doesn't mean nothing happened"

which shocked Rain as he fell out of the bed, which must've hurt🤭 Now as he tries to escape, Payu comes close AGAIN (LIKE let us breathe sir!!!!!) and kisses him on the cheek(I can safely say I screamed and clapped at this) LIKE YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love how the next thing we see is Rain curing at the weather as it is storming(Payu means storm) and Sky is there being all confused, wondering if his bestie lost his damn mind(I would say yes but you know🤭)

Episode 2 starts off with Rain being at the garage to get his car. It's funny because P "oaf calls him Payu's boy, which Rain does not like🤭 Me on the other hand loves it!!

P Aon tells him about everything they did to the car and the instant panic on his face, made me giggle because SAME!!! also that "Shiny" hahahaha I couldn't help but laugh. The way he asked about the price and finding out it was free because he is Payu's boy (nothing comes for free my dear Rain but...) the way he quickly left and the way P Aon told Payu he was right and that damn smirk on his face, Like boy you are up to no good and I am living for it!!!😏

Rain is enjoying his newly fixed car when Payu calls and tells him that he has to pay by behaving and then hanging up while Rain is still in the midst of yelling at him, makes my day! The next day at college is the funniest thing the way he tries to hide because he got a message telling him Payu never lets anyone off and the way Sky is enjoying this so much and scares the living daylight out of Rain🤣 I love Sky!!

The way his voice goes an octave higher after denying him hiding for someone and the way Sky goes along with it, I love that(I need friends like that as well)🤣 Of course Rain walks right into Payu the next scene, and the way he shuts him up (Also wondering something, what exactly did Rain let him touch👀)

Side note: The way Rain moved his arm to get away from Payu is just too damn cute, such a cutie!!)😍😍😍😍😍😍

Rain talks him to the bathroom and Payu corners him and the intensity is way too much to handle, calm down boys but also don't. Payu tells him again he doesn't like foul mouthed boys, which triggers the rebelliousness in Rain and he tells him he is not afraid (If Payu came this close to me, I would just kiss him)

Two guys enter, which makes Rain push Payu into the toilet stall, which is the stupidest thing he could've done and not only for himself (BUT WHAT ABOUT MY FREAKING MENTAL HEALTH!!!🫠☠️) DAMN IT. So now Payu has him exactly where he wants and this heats things up drastically like I wasn't even breathing at this point plus my face was almost attached to the damn screen, my mouth was on the damn ground because Payu was seducing Rain BIG TIME(AGAIN WHAT ABOUT MY MENTAL HEALTH!!☠️) you know he wasn't even kissing Rain but he was just moving so close that it's hot, I seriously would melt right there and Rain my man did as well, he was turned on big, the way he let Payu do whatever he wanted, was something else and it even surprised Payu.

he took advantage by making Rain tell him exactly what he wanted and the way Rain just did exactly what he asked, this boy was a goner and after literally falling out of that stall, where Payu tells him he is a debt collector and that he just wants Rain to speak politely he leaves but Rain is not Rain if he didn't curse at him while he was leaving!! Sky enters and tells him to get up BUT RAIN CAN'T GET UP BECAUSE HE IS ALREADY UP!!!!!! I laughed so hard, istg...🤣🤣🤣🤣

Of course, Rain wants revenge and tries to force his senior to tell him where the street race will take place (i just like to know how he knew about that though...) anyway his senior gets pissed and walks off, luckily he has Sky who dated an asshole who was into illegal street races and he helps him out, which of course doesn't end well because Rain gets caught and captured by no other than Payu and then we have the most surprising and shocking scene ever. HE GETS SPANKED BUT IN THE ACTUAL PUNISHMENT WAY!!!! I am still at loss for words about that and the way I choked in my laughter, just wow..😳

After yelling at each other Rain gets upset about Payu calling him stupid again and because he is so angry he decides to just kiss Payu, he definitely tried to prove a point, which was that he would make Payu fall head over heels for him and as Payu gets over the shock he kisses Rain back. LISTEN Rain literally made Payu bleed with his forceful kiss and the thing is Payu did not mind one bit the way he smiled while he walked out, said enough. Payu has fallen completely for Rain (tbh I get it, everything about Rain is cute..)

The next morning Rain wakes up and regrets his life choices🤭 and Payu walks in like the god he is and gives him clothes, you would think this is innocent but nope Payu loves to tease him and gives him the small underwear and the way he throws it off the bed, made me giggle way too much.🤭

Rain the cutie comes down eventually and starts eating but seriously why is he so cute!!! the way Payu keeps staring at him, ugh just eat him already... I never thought I would fall for someone with long hair and drinking coffee but here we are, I am in love with Payu. I love how Rain gets interested in Payu's work and is all cute while checking it out (WHY DO THEY NEED TO LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE THAT AND ALSO THAT CLOSE, MY HEART CAN'T TAKE IT!!!)🫠☠️ of course Payu sees this as an opportunity to see if he was right about the underwear size, which made me laugh again. the way Rain goes back to eat the damn sausage while hiding his D lol!!!

sir can you please not drink your coffee that sexily, thank you!!

Payu brings him home and unbuckles Rain, I would also think he would kiss me, as he again came way too close!! (damn you for giving me a solid heart attack again) Rain actually thinks Payu doesn't like him, can someone just tell him he is being stupid and cute at the same time because if only he knew but anyway Rain and his bets. Making Payu fall for him in 1 month. I laughed out loud because Payu is already in love, but hey good luck Rain!!! And yes Rain you are dancing exactly to Payu's tune!😏

Ep3....... (can I say, just in case this wasn't clear yet... I love Payu and Rain is the cutest man alive)

This episode starts with Payu and Prapai(his best friend) who chat about having a good mood, which is just a small crumb to the Sky and Prapai tl...anyway😇, Payu is waiting for Rain to make his move, speaking of which, Rain is stressed because he doesn't have much time to get on with his plan and asks Sky for help. First off Sky is surprised that Rain is going after a guy after having a crush on Ple but goes along with it and tells Rain to just show up in front of the guy he likes so he can't go around Rain. Now we can all just predict that this won't work....

Rain, of course, tries his best but every time he shows up at the garage Payu isn't there. He is desperate and as Sky talks to him he tells him to go a step further(Let's not forget about that hickey....😏) P Aon eventually feels sorry for him and leaves him a clue that Payu likes polite boys who call first. After taking a frustrating breath he finally sucks it up and calls Payu, who tells him he will come as soon as possible (which is 2 hours later but in Rain's defense I would also stay if I was waiting for a hot guy like Payu) As he is snacking in the office with Payu's brother Saifha, Payu finally shows up, which annoys Rain immensely and he is about to leave when Payu hold him back and pulls him along to get food. Little note here, it's obvious Rain is already falling hard for Payu, I mean did you see that smile on his face as he leaves the office while holding Payu's hand...😍

At the restaurant Payu makes Rain tell everyone he is trying to win over Payu's heart, making him feel annoyed again but not so annoyed as he lets Payu feed him. As I said he cutest boy ALIVE!!😍! Rain is still annoyed with Payu after they have eaten and storms off making Payu apologize and stop him. This brings us to the most endearing moment, where he removes a bug from Rain's face and the way Rain looks at him, sigh...my heart.🫠 Then Rain complains that Payu keeps calling him stupid and then Payu finally gives in and tells him as a reward that h has to replace idiot with cute. I giggled when he realized it and went down like that telling Payu was cheating with the biggest smile on his face. Such a cutie!!!😍 After that things are going smoothly between the two. They text and hang out more often but Rain also has a deadline which he ignores because he wants to hang with Payu, this gets him in trouble because he had to pull an all-nighter and overslept the next day, which makes him fail.

He somehow ends up at Payu all wet because he stood outside in the rain, which broke my heart, poor boy. I love how Payu came running when Saihfa called him and the way he crouched down and told Rain to come to him. The way he gave in and cried in Payu's arms, my heart just broke and my love for Payu became bigger. The warmth I felt in that hug, ugh Payu is the best and the way he cares for Rain is just amazing. He just hugged him without knowing the reason for his tears, where to find a guy like that!!🥺

now Payu does find out the reason and scolds Rain about it because the teacher was right. Rain needs to prioritize his life because it really is a test for the actual world. I do love the way Payu tells him this. He is not harsh but also doesn't beat around the bushes. That last hug in the episode made me smile because you can tell Payu loves him deeply already.

Ep4 (this is a long review, jeezzzz!! next week it will just be one episode!!!)

Episode 4 starts with Payu staring lovingly(okay not really more like worried) at Rain. I love how Rain gets tricked into telling Payu to kiss him again, he really doesn't realize this does he..but sadly Payu does not instead he tells Rain not to come over anymore. The way Rain instantly gets upset makes it even more clear how much he likes Payu and I kind of feel sorry for him but Payu is not wrong here.🥺 Payu tells him he wants Rain to have some balance, which is necessary because College is important(also expensive...)and as long as Rain doesn't have control over his life Payu doesn't want to date him because he wants a steady relationship. He wants Rain to be responsible for his own life first because if he can't do that how can Payu expect a serious relationship, and if he can't do that he can't come over anymore. Payu is definitely smart because he has given Rain a challenge with this and that is to prove to him he can be responsible. I love that Payu has that faith in him.🥹 The tenderness of this scene is something that I loved. The soft and patient tone Payu uses to an upset Rain, to make him understand that he does want him but not before he takes responsibility, ugh again where to find a man like that.🥹 In the remaining episode we see Rain working hard on his projects and we see him spend time with friends. Sky also helps Rain through everything, as he sits down with him and actually listens and gives him advice without pushing his opinion. I love this friendship. The way Sky can give Rain comfort, I just love it!! 🥰

Rain isn't Rain if he doesn't find a loophole though because he wants to show Payu that he is working hard and asks to work in the office, they first tell him no so Rain asks for a chair and ends up working outside. Payu eventually gives in and goes to Rain and tells him again that he told him not to come here. Rain is a smartass though as he tells him he needed a change of scenery, Payu doesn't like it so much but he can't help but smile at him(same Payu, this boy is too cute come on!!🫠 ) When he walks away P Aon comes and tells him he can work in the office. Payu let them know it was okay because he didn't want Rain to get sick as it was raining. While Rain works hard, we come to this scene that I personally love a lot. Rain has fallen asleep in the office, with his cute belly showing when Payu walks in. Instead of waking him he checks his work and makes little notes, which is the cutest ever. Payu can't help himself and gently caress Rain who is still sleeping(yes Rain we know you woke up when he touched your cheek) but as Payu went lower Rain started to moan softly (LIKE COME ON WHYYYYYYYY) AHUM ANYWAY... Payu tests him out by going under his shirt but as Rain still doesn't open his eyes he gently slaps his stomach, which makes Rain open his eyes. Payu told him something before he woke up and asks him if he wants to know and as Rain gets curious, Payu comes in closer with the intention to kiss him and Rain just waits for him to do this when Saihfa walks in, this made me curse and laugh, especially the way he left🤣 "Go on 3-2-1 *CLAP* 👏and he left!! awesome.

only to disturb again a few seconds after while telling not to forget to lock the door I was laughing so hard!! After that second time he told Rain "great job, smart boy" the way he praises Rain, and the way Rain touched his hair after Payu did. UGH MY HEART!!!!!!😍🫠

Of course, this motivates Rain enough to finish everything on time and when he is finally done he gives up on his sleep to go see Payu, who firstly scolds him but then gets jealous because Saihfa wanted to teach him how to ride a motorcycle. The way he told him that he would deal with Rain, ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I mean Payu even wanted to rush through his own work to spend time with Rain and here we see the character development of Rain. In the past he would want that but now he was satisfied with just seeing Payu's face. I know this must've made Payu proud and as a reward, he gave Rain a kiss, which I LOVED SO SO SO SO MUCH,😍 because it was such a sweet moment. the way they are already in love with each other, ugh, also again the smile while touching his hair after Payu touched it🥹😍

Now after Rain's presentation, he hurries back to Payu's house because he couldn't reach Payu(this is my guess because his phone had died) but again it was raining heavily and he stood there for god knows how long when Payu finally gets there. Payu is seriously upset and starts to scold Rain for waiting in the rain. He doesn't want him to get sick, when Rain takes his face between his hands and tells him how the teachers praised him and then the question comes "Am I good enough now, Can I stand by your side?" I loved this so much and the way Payu looks at him while making up his mind. SIGHHHHHHHH then he just grabs his hand and pulls him with him.

they moved to the bathtub to get clean and warm again. I love how they are just sweetly kissing at this point. The warmth it radiates and also my heart which was about to explode. I think it's cute how Rain stops him by telling him to get a bath by himself and how Payu keeps saying they are doing just that while hugging him.

I loved everything about this scene but the moment Payu started to apologize and the way Rains expression changed, I just wanted to scream so loudly because it went from confusion to love. and the way he initiated the kiss after he accepts his apology.!!!!!! I am in love!!

NOW THE NC SCENE.......WHICH NO ONE EXPECTED AND IT WAS LIKE A DAMN ATTACK ON MY SOUL, LIFE AND HEART AND EARS!!!!!!!!!! I AM NOT COMPLAINING!! BUT DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have to say I love how Rain tried to stop it by telling, he didn't come here for that but Payu is like. "Didn't you want to know if you could stand by myself, this is my answer so just don't stop me" and Rain was like (OKAY) ..... (SAME THOUGH DAMN IT)

At this point, I turned down the sound and stopped breathing. Like this scene was hot and the moans, my dear people were very realistic!!!! Also, the body spasm and the facial expressions of Rain, like damn. at one point I asked myself if I was watching a softp*rn..also the ripping of the condom foil..... why is that sooo damn hot!!!! (You teach him Payu......) and then after the climax, Payu's words...

"Rain belongs to P' Payu now, Let me hear it"🔥☠️☠️

Yes, it is clear as daylight Rain belongs to Payu now....I think at this point we ALL belong to Payu, especially after this scene, because I might've said the same thing as Rain and on that note see you with the next messy review somewhere this week!!!
