AGGHH I deleted the original post I’m so saddd.
Anyways I wanted to talk abt this pic idk if it’s canon or just a non canon drawing but lets assume that it is significant for this analysis.
Tumblr media
In this pic Till is wearing his R2 outfit, his mic headset and his mouth his open like he’s singing. This makes me think that he’s onstage in Round 2 singing his Unknown (Till the End) song. HOWEVER. While he’s singing this song the background is red with shooting star, meteors, debris whatever it is.
Tumblr media
Doesn’t it remind you of something? My thoughts are that while Till was outwardly singing about his love for Mizi he was actually thinking about Ivan.
The thing abt Alien Stage is that everyone’s an unreliable narrator. In Round 1 everything seems like a sci-fi idol show until the ending where Sua dies. Then in Round 3 we are led to believe that Till never glanced at Ivan when that is in fact a lie and Till DID look at Ivan. Methinks Round 2 is also told by an unreliable narrator, only the thing that’s unreliable is Till himself. In Round 1 we are fed false info abt the type of world they live in. In Round 3 we are fed false info abt Till’s attitude towards Ivan. So in Round 2 I think we are being fed false info abt Till’s feelings.
Tumblr media
Here’s something that always struck me as off. Here Till has just finished his “confession” but he doesn’t even acknowledge Mizi off stage. Usually after you confess to someone, you check for their reaction right? Onstage Till looked at Mizi after he smashed the guitar. But here when he is physically closer to her he doesn’t even attempt to look at her. Compared to Ivan who kept looking at Till even when he was being shot, and kept his eyes on him even as he died, turning to look at Mizi shouldn’t be too difficult.
Some of the lyrics of the song were also weird too (I’ll be using the Eng translations so some things maybe lost in translation)
First the line “I wanna know all about you” this line was weird bc how do you not know everything abt Mizi already? Mizi lived a very sheltered life, so she never had to build any walls to protect herself. If you wanted to know all abt Mizi you just had to look at her. She doesn’t hide anything at all, everything abt her can be found on the surface. It would’ve made more sense to say “I want you to know all about me” considering that Mizi isn’t aware of Till’s feelings.
Second is the line “How dare you think this time’s enough” this line is so
 aggressive. Like I can’t imagine Till actually saying this to Mizi at all. Till is usually super shy and freezes up around Mizi. Could he actually say something so confrontational to her. I can’t imagine that all.
But I can imagine him saying that to Ivan.
“I want to know all about you” bc I spent so much time with you and I still don’t understand you and “How dare you think the time’s enough” when you don’t understand my feelings. You just assumed what I felt you don’t actually know how I feel about you.
(Till is actually the character I understand the least. This is just my imagination lol)
Tumblr media
Another thing that makes me think Till was crying is this scene. (How does he look so pretty when in distress. Till I can’t you’re too endearing wth)
Here it looks like he’s sweating a lot but it also looks like there’s a tear slipping from his left eye. He even does a little sniffle which makes me think he was sobbing.
My theory is that Till was trying to tell himself a narrative in order to cope with his traumatic life. And the narrative he tells himself is that the only person he loves is Mizi and that the only person who can save him is Mizi. So while he’s onstage he sings abt his feelings for Mizi, but while he’s singing he accidentally also sings abt his feelings for Ivan.
Don’t you think it’s weird that Ivan doesn’t show up in the R2 flashbacks. Considering how often they were together growing up you’d think he’d at least me off to the side somewhere. I mean Sua was in the flashback but Ivan wasn’t? I think Till was intentionally suppressing his thoughts abt Ivan in order to make a point that he only loves Mizi. However bc the song can also apply to Ivan he inadvertently sings abt his love for Ivan and starts crying. That’s bc his love for Mizi is just a performance for the world and for himself.
In his personal narrative it is better to be the guy that loves the kind and gentle Mizi than the boy who is hopelessly entangled with the enigmatic Ivan. It hurts less that way. Till can look at Mizi at a distance bc she is like a bright light in his bleak world. But Till can’t look at Ivan because he is too bright, he fills up an entire sky with light and it haunts Till to this day. I remember reading somewhere that Till can’t escape from the red sky. The red sky could represent Till’s feelings for Ivan.
Tumblr media
It’s where we see Till at his happiest.
Tumblr media
It’s where we see Till the closest with another person.
Tumblr media
As well as where he’s the most conflicted/scared.
Basically the picture of Till crying shows how he actually feels abt the meteor shower scene and how bc of his feelings for Ivan it haunts him even when he’s trying to sing abt someone else. He loves Ivan but he also can’t bare to be with Ivan. Maybe he realizes the self-destructive nature of their love. Maybe he knew it was dangerous for them to be in love in this world. Or maybe he was just to afraid of the pain and wanted to protect his heart in any way he could.
I don’t think we’ll ever get an answer. But I think that Till idolizing Mizi is just a fantasy he uses to cope with his awful life. And that bc his relationship with Ivan was uncanny and different from the love he received from his mom Io, he tries to reject even the thought of Ivan. Bc if he thinks abt Ivan too much he’ll unravel bc love is obsessive and all consuming. And Till def would have been consumed by his love for Ivan. It would have just been consumed by the aliens for entertainment. Their love is doomed no matter what he does. Might as well pretend it never existed maybe then it would hurt less.
It didn’t ;-;

Jinx | Sukuna Ryomen
Tumblr media
mmafigther!sukuna ryomen x femcoach!reader
Part 13. Last One Before Leaving
Beginning. ← Previous | Next →
Sypnosis: Sukuna is a world champion with anger issues. It's believed by many that he is untrainable. Yeah, you can't train him, but you can dominate him. Contents: Fighting. Female reader being dom. Jinx AU (the BL, not the character from lol) Yuuji, Choso and Sukuna are brothers. Some characters are out of characters. Warnings: Cursed words, I only read it once. Word Count: 4582 words. Author's Note: I am going to edit the shit out of this fanfic after I drop the last chapter. I am not sure if I will post the next chapter next week because I have to work on some commissions, but I'll try my best because it will be a long one. I promise. Thanks for staying tuned!
Tumblr media
Back to old habits. The only thing I could see in the middle of the tunnel was Sukuna's gigantic back, I could raise my hand and trace his tattoos with my fingertips. I took a deep breath to assimilate that this was really happening. This was my last fight as the King of the Ring's coach. This was the last time I would wear the Team Black jacket. The last time I would march to the beat of Sukuna's favorite song. This would be the last time I would be able to support Sukuna this close. We emerged from the darkness and the crowd greeted us in a sea of applause and cheers. Gojo was at my side with a big bright smile, Yuuji was on the other holding his brother's bench and Nanami was behind me, holding the strategy notes. 
After the referee took over to check on Sukuna, he hugged everyone quickly before entering the ring. My lips formed a smile involuntarily at his warm touch. I was so proud of him. I was sure he would excel in this fight as in all the others. I already wanted to see him fight in all his glory. I hope I was good enough as a sparring partner for this match. 
"Give a warm welcome to Aoi, the demolisher of champions, Todo!” they announced. “I wonder what song he will enter with this time,” I thought curiously. 
It was true that Todo was a famous fighter because of his skills, strength and beefy body, but there was a reason why he is very popular. While other fighters enter the arena with rap songs with intimidating lyrics, Todo enters with songs of his favorite k-pop idols. Nayeon's POP! started blaring from the speakers. He came in dancing to the choreography of the said song with his team following closely behind. One could debate the fact that he was the best fighter in the UFC, but he was the one who puts on the best shows.
"What the fuck is this? " Sukuna asked as he stretched out near our corner.
"Oh, I love this song,” Yuuji told me excitedly as he danced to the famous choreography that went viral on TikTok. 
It didn't take long for him to get into the ring. In the distance, I could see Yuki waving with a smile as if we were friends. Poor thing, she doesn't know that Sukuna was about to smash her fighter to the ground. Maybe I should give her a sign. I showed her my thumbs down while mouthing the words “he's going down” in an exaggerated way. That was enough to wipe off her smile.
Todo and Sukuna gathered in the center to start the fight. One last fight and we're off. “Come on Sukuna, show me everything I have taught you,” I thought as I watched him excitedly. This would be Sukuna's last fight that I would be able to watch this close. I felt like a little girl again watching her first UFC fight on TV. I still couldn't believe I had come this far in my career. From being a rank-and-file fighter to being the champion of my division to directly training one of the best fighters in the world. I was proud of Sukuna, but I was prouder of myself. 
The bell rang and the fun began. The beasts went straight ahead to try to take each other down with their killing punches. For a giant mass of musclemen, Todo was incredibly faster than before. Yuki must have focused his training on speed since he is already strong. There was a moment where Todo was just lashing out jab after jab without Sukuna being able to return them, but he could get away from him to try to attack him from another angle. My fighter was defending himself very well, but he was eating a punch or two. Plus he wasn't working on his offense like we had practiced before. Something was going on. 
The third round arrived and Sukuna was still not improving, in fact, his body was beginning to lose resistance from all the missiles he was receiving. His movements were getting slower with every minute, his defense was fading little by little and his offense was not working. He was looking for any path that could lead him to victory, but they were all covered by the great wall that was Aoi Todo. If this was going to judges' decision, the odds weren’t on Sukuna’s side. “What the fuck are you doing wrong=!” I asked my fighter as if he could hear me telepathically. 
"Damn, he's getting fucked," Yuuji commented annoyed with the situation. 
Wait, his lucky ritual, is that why Sukuna wasn't in his best shape? Hadn't he had satisfying sex the night before? That couldn't be. Sukuna told me that Gojo had hired him a special prostitute the night before. Did he do something different this time? Whatever it was, luck was not on Sukuna's side. He would have to fight with everything his body could offer to keep his title. And after what seemed like an eternity, the bell announcing the end of the third round rang. There was one last round left that we could not squander.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? Didn't you get a hard-on last night or what the fuck?” I asked him offended while Yuuji put ice on his bumps to reduce the swelling. 
"What the fuck are you talking about, shut up!” Sukuna barked, annoyed. 
"Then what the fuck is wrong with you?!” I yelled in his face. "I'm going to support you until the end, but please, stop fucking around and give him a piece of your fucking mind!” 
"I'm tired,” he sighed as he closed his eyes. I slapped him. Gojo and Yuuji looked at me, baffled. 
"You can rest once you give him a final punch! You're about to lose your title!” I screamed to wake him up from the trance he was in. If his luck wasn’t on his side, his anger would be. I grabbed his face and forced him to look at Yuki. "She's making fun of you, the woman who broke your brother's heart and blamed you for it! Are you going to let her make fun of the king of the ring?! Think about your fans.” 
"Sukuna has fans?” Yuuji scoffed. 
"If Sukuna has a fan, it's me. If Sukuna has no fans, it is because I am dead. If the world is against Sukuna, then I am against the world,” I said seriously, but the brothers started laughing. My cheeks blushed as I realized what a silly thing I had said. In fact, it was the first time I heard Sukuna laugh out loud. He had a cute smile on his face. 
"Stop joking around! We're running out of time,” Gojo scolded us. "Sukuna, you've been boxing all this time. Don't be afraid to use your legs. I know he's a little taller than you, but that's the way you can reach him,” Gojo advised him before they called the fighters back. 
Sukuna and Todo met again in the center of the octagon and the bell rang announcing the last round. This was no time to blink. Now everything was in Sukuna's hands. Aoi went at him, looking for the same knockout he had been unable to achieve in the last 20 minutes of the fight. Sukuna was still maintaining his guard as Todo directs his fists to his face. His feet were moving around the octagon in a tug of war that shortened and distanced them with each transition. My athlete looked more focused than he had in the last few rounds, but he needed something better than that. 
"Come on Todo, let your guard down,” Yuuji prayed out loud beside me. 
There was one minute left on the clock and every second was ticking faster than it should. They were bathed in sweat and blood from open wounds. I wondered what Sukuna was thinking in the midst of the chaos. Todo stepped into Sukuna's space to punch him, but he nimbly evaded it. Taking advantage of Todo being in his space, Sukuna kicked him squarely in the face with a spinning kick. His rival lost his balance, staggered backwards and fell backwards on the canvas. 
"Go for it!” I shouted euphorically to Sukuna, but he didn't need my instruction to know what to do. 
Sukuna pounced on Todo to beat him relentlessly. The crowd went crazy and Todo’s team was just yelling at him to get up. Team Black exclaimed incoherently from the excitement. Todo made no successful attempt to get up or defend himself. The referee stepped between them, announcing the end of the fight. Sukuna had won by technical knockout. The king of the ring got up tired and ran to the fence while the applause invaded his ears. 
"That bastard did it!” I exclaimed excitedly before climbing the fence to meet my champion and hug him. "You're the best, Sukuna!” I sobbed with joy. Tears of happiness cascaded down my cheeks. 
"Are you going to cry again?” Sukuna asked me, annoyed, wiping my tears with his thumbs. 
"Let me enjoy the last time I will cry for you,” I said with a smile. 
Sukuna half opened his lips as if he was about to tell me something, but closed them again. I have no idea what she could have been holding back. I couldn't overthink things like that when the king of the ring had beaten the demolisher of champions. 
I didn't hesitate to sign my letter of resignation. I was going to miss Nanami's office. The mahogany furniture made a nice contrast to the silver machinery in the rest of the gym. It was a little oasis of calm in the middle of a chaotic place. There were pictures of him with Yuuji, Sukuna and Gojo in Malaysia, collectible action figures of the king of the ring and plaques of all the fights won by fighters in Team Black. I handed over my official jacket, Sukuna's important analysis documents and my key to the gym on the desk. 
"It's a pity you have to leave, but we wish you the best of luck in your professional career,” Nanami said to me in her professional voice once he put the papers in their respective folders. 
"Thank you for offering me the job,” I told him. "Uraume will be here in a week. I'm sure it won't take Sukuna long to get used to them.” 
Having to leave for my gym meant that Sukuna would be without a floor technique coach, so I called Uraume to see if they were interested in the position. They were one of my first trainers when I decided to leave the Zenin temple. They were very strict, but that's Sukuna's style anyway. Nanami thanked me for the time and led me out of her office. As soon as she opened the door, I was in for a big surprise. 
"We’ll miss you, snake!” Yuuji, Gojo, Shoko and the rest of the fighters were gathered to bid me farewell. 
"Oh, guys...” I said while trying not to cry at how nice they thought of giving me a surprise goodbye. 
"I hope you like red velvet cake,” Megumi said appearing in the crowd with a cake decorated with a paper Medusa head and the words “bon voyage” in icing. 
"Megumi, you‘re here!” I squealed before hugging him. As soon as he hugged me back, I noticed that his biceps and triceps had grown. The training with his father was working for him. 
"Even though he no longer trains with us, he is still an honorable member of Team Black, just like you,” Yuuji said excitedly. 
"Thank you all for the nice surprise. I said with a smile while memorizing the faces of everyone present, although... someone was missing. "Hey, and Sukuna?” I asked. 
"He went to the CrossFit gym, but you'll see him tonight. Sukuna said you could choose a place to celebrate his victory and your farewell,” Gojo told me. 
A week had passed since the fight. It was a tradition to eat at Sukuna's favorite sports bar after every fight he won, so it had seemed strange to me that he hadn't invited us to lunch as was customary. I was glad to know that this time he wanted to give me the choice. In the end I opted to hold the celebration at a local Korean BBQ restaurant. 
The restaurant was bursting at the seams. Almost all the circular tables were occupied by Team Black members. My sense of smell was permeated by the meat cooking over on the grill in the center and the fermented seasonings. Gojo and Nanami chatted pleasantly while Yuuji and Megumi filled me in on how their father's gym was doing. A waitress brought us the bottle of sake Nanami had ordered to celebrate properly. 
"Come on, have a drink with me,” I asked Sukuna as I poured him a cup. 
"No,” he said before drinking from his glass of water in an attempt to ignore me. 
"Don't be like that, just one,” I begged him as I poured him a drink. He kept ignoring me. "Do it for me, as a parting gift,” I pouted. Sukuna looked at me, tempting to listen to me. 
"Drink, drink, drink!” Yuuji chanted excitedly along with Gojo. Gradually, the rest of the team began to chant for Sukuna to cheer up. 
"Just one,” He agreed before taking the cup that had been poured for him. 
"Here's to a bright future,” I proposed a toast with my glass in hand. 
"To a bright future!” They all exclaimed in unison with their drinks in hand. 
"Cheers!” I exclaimed before Sukuna and I downed the glass in one gulp. 
"Hey, do you like Star Wars?” Sukuna asked me, slurring his words from the effects of the alcohol. 
After he had a second glass of sake, Sukuna was red in the face and started to be funny with everyone. I could see why he had turned me down every time I offered to drink with me. I knew the “he didn't drink alcohol because of the calories and carbohydrates” was some bullshit. The reality is that he has zero tolerance for alcohol. As soon as Sukuna started saying things like “Yuki wishes I would fuck her”, Nanami asked me to bring him home. 
"No, why?” I asked him to keep him awake as I carried him to his room. 
"Because Yoda only one for me!” He answered before deflating like a balloon as if he had told the best joke in the world. I could only roll my eyes, but I still laughed. 
When we got to his room, I threw him on the bed to let my poor body rest. If Sukuna was a big, heavy man when he was sober, when he was drunk he was like carrying 5 bags of cement on my back. While he was telling terrible dad jokes, I took off his shoes so he could rest comfortably. Even though it was wrong for him to get drunk, I was glad to see him so happy. I always see him angry and worried about being the best. Now he didn't have to worry about that, he could be himself. 
"Stay here, I'll get you a glass of water,” I asked him before leaving the room. 
I looked for a glass in the cabinets and took the water pitcher out of the refrigerator. I smiled as I remembered the stupid joke I had made. Was this the Sukuna I didn't know? A joking boy with a cute smile that made me laugh out loud. It was a shame I barely saw this side of him after almost a year of working together, but I was glad I had seen him before I left. I heard some bare footsteps coming towards me, “Oh no way,” I thought before turning around to confront him. 
"Sukuna, I told you to stay in be-” I was about to scold him, but he shut me up in the most unexpected way. 
I didn't even have time to think by the time he had pulled me close to his lips, holding me gently by the nape of my neck. He hugged me to his body around my waist, so I could feel his heart beating like crazy, just like mine. I didn't know what to say, think or do. This was definitely not the Sukuna I had met in Las Vegas, this was a sweet, gentle, romantic man. This was the Sukuna I wanted to meet, why was he showing up here and now? His lips said everything and nothing at the same time. 
"No, you're drunk. You don't know what you're doing,” I told him before pushing him by the chest. 
"I know exactly what I'm doing,” he said with his cheeks still flushed. I wasn't sure if it was the alcohol or the embarrassment. 
Even though his eyes told me he was serious, I didn't believe him. I couldn't believe him. It had taken me so long to fall out of love with him and here I was, about to throw all my hard work away. Sukuna got closer to kiss my forehead softly. He ran down my face leaving little kisses all over, little love bites until he reached my ear. He kissed my ear and then proceeded to suck on my earlobe. A flirtatious tingle ran down my spine. This had gone too far already. 
"I can't, I like your brother,” I said as I pushed him again. 
"Yuuji is Megumi's boyfriend.” He confessed. I already knew that, it was so obvious. 
"I'm talking about Choso. I promised to call him when I stopped being your coach.” I explained. 
"You choose him?” He asked me in a whisper as if he was afraid that someone else would hear our conversation. 
That was the real question. I had spent almost a month mentally debating why Choso was a better match prospect than him. I should have told him “yes” for sure, but something was holding me back, and I didn't know what exactly it was. He grabbed my chin to force me to look into his eyes. Those deep eyes that the Itadori brothers shared, but his could stand out in a large crowd. 
"Yes
” I whispered. He nodded and turned away from me. At last, I could breathe again. "You should drink some water.” I said before passing him the glass I had poured for him. 
“Fine, under one condition.” Was this dĂ©jĂ  vu? "You'll sleep with me tonight.” 
"I'm not sleeping with you,” I crossed my arms in offense. 
"I said ‘sleep’, not ‘fuck’,” he clarified. 
"Why do you want to sleep with me?” I asked confused. 
"I want to watch a movie with you.”
After Sukuna drank his glass of water, we sat under the sheets of her bed to watch whatever was on the old movie channel. I was really surprised that he wanted to watch Casablanca, I didn't think he was one of those movie suckers. Sukuna looked so good in his half open black robe, leaving his strong chest exposed, and his thick framed blue filtered glasses. I looked back at the TV as I realized where my thoughts were going. 
Even though we were a considerable distance apart, the atmosphere we had created felt so intimate. We were like a couple who had been married for over 30 years. There may not have been a spark of lust, but we knew for a fact that we were there for each other.
"I didn't know you liked these movies,” I said with my eyes glued to the screen. 
"I don't,” I answered. My brow furrowed on its own at that answer. 
"Then why are we watching it? I asked confused. 
"Because I have insomnia and this helps me sometimes sleep.” 
That explained why he was such a first"rate grump. He doesn't rest well, he can't take sleeping medication because it might show up as drugs on UFC medical tests, and his body has to be active during the day. 
"Why didn't you ever tell me?” I asked him while the scene where Rick and Ilsa say goodbye at the airport after spending a night together. 
"Would anything have changed if I had told you?” Why did I feel he wasn't referring to his insomnia?
"But what about us?” Ilsa cried to Rick. 
"We’ll always have Paris,” he answered with melancholy in his voice. 
SUKUNA POV
“What the fuck is wrong with me, why did I think I was a goddamn romantic movie lead?! Those movies are already affecting me for the worse,” I thought as I took out the fury in myself on the punching bag. I was sweating like a pig and my shoulders were barely holding up to the exercise, but that was my punishment for kissing the girl my brother likes. The same story could not repeat itself. Choso was just coming back into my life, I couldn't do that to him. I'm a big, stupid idiot. 
"Hey, that sack has already suffered enough,” Gojo said, stopping me. "It's 9 o'clock at night, you've been here since 4 am. You ate here, slept on the stretcher and even bought a candy from the vending machine. I know you're a high-performance athlete and all, but this is too much,” Gojo took off my headphones to get my attention. 
Being Sunday night, the gym was practically empty. I was supposed to go home, but I couldn't do that. Y/n was there, I wouldn't know how to see her after I had made her sleep with me. I didn't even want to get out of bed in the morning to see her up close as she slept with her mouth open and her hair matted, but despite that, she looked so adorable. 
"I'm fine,” I said. I tried to go back to the bag, but my coach didn’t let me. 
"This is because she's going to another city, isn't it?” Gojo asked me. Was I being too obvious? "Your surprised face says yes.” 
I sat down on the weight bench behind me and ran a towel over my face to wipe off the sweat. Gojo sat down next to me and patted me on the back a couple of times. 
"Don't worry, you'll see her at other sporting events, maybe we can do a collaboration with her gym in the future. You will have many opportunities to see her.” Gojo comforted me. "Yuuji told me that Choso will ask her to be his boyfriend soon, possibly they will become a family.” 
Y/n getting married in a white dress, lace veil and a beautiful arrangement of white flowers in her hand. I would be at the altar waiting for her with my hand outstretched to live the rest of our lives together, have children and maybe probably a cat named Garfield. Only to wake up from my dream and realize that hand is not mine, but my little brother's. That thought just twisted my stomach and I slammed the water bottle on the floor from the helplessness of not being able to do anything about it. Gojo was startled by the sudden act. 
"I was the one who beat up her ex-boyfriend, I was the one who kept her safe, I was the one who defended her from my mother's aggressive comments! Choso hasn't even done anything for her!” I exclaimed annoyed with the whole situation. I jumped out of the seat to start walking from one side to the other in an attempt to get my anger down. "She doesn't know that Choso stopped wetting the bed until he was 12, that he's afraid of clowns and that he still thinks his ex-fiancĂ©e is the love of his life! We slept together twice, I showed her how much of a man I can be, how happy I can make her and still...!” I stopped as I realized that a tear escaped from my right eye and had slid down to my chin.
"Come here, boy,” Gojo said before hugging me. 
"She picked him...”. I cried to the only person I can trust. 
"God, I knew you liked her, but I didn't think it was that serious.” Gojo told me as he hugged me tightly. 
"I can't tell her. If I tell her, Choso will never speak to me again. I can't lose my brother again,” I said as I tried to wipe away my tears, but they wouldn't stop coming. "She was the only one who believed in me. Even when my parents and Yuuji didn't.”
She was the only one who supported me above all things and always made sure I knew that. She was loyal to me, in everything but love. What did it cost her to look at me with those eyes too? She has been the only woman I've ever seen that way, and I was about to lose her forever. I was sure I would never find someone like her ever. They might look alike in appearance like that prostitute in Brazil, but they weren't even close to her heels. 
Boxes kept piling up at the entrance. Boxes of clothes, boxes with decorations, boxes, and more boxes announced Y/n's upcoming departure. I helped her carry them down to the moving truck that Choso had rented to take them to the new apartment she would share with her friend, Nobara, in Nagoya. I told her I would pay for the entire move, but she said Choso would take care of it. 
"I think that would be it,” Y/n said before putting the last box in the back. "This is where we say, ‘I'll see you later.’” She said before shaking my hand.
I shook her hand for a cordial farewell. This would be the last time I would touch her smooth skin and feel her firm grip. I was devastated inside, but I had to fake a smile on the outside. It was for everyone's sake. This was for the best. 
"Thank you for allowing me to work with you. I learned many things. Please watch my fights,” she asked me cordially. I doubted very much that I would see them.
"Thank you for training me, even if you didn't want to at first,” I answered. 
"I always wanted to train you. Didn't I ever tell you the reason?” She asked me, surprised at herself. I didn't know what she was talking about, I thought she thought I was a big asshole from the start. "After your fight with Suguru Geto, my first coach, I was very curious to meet you to know the secret of your skills. Now that I know, I doubt I can replicate it,” she said with a playful wink, referring to my lucky ritual. 
"We have to go now, or it will get dark,” Choso said to Y/n while hugging her by the shoulders. 
"We'll be in touch,” she said excitedly. 
The new couple got into the truck, and they didn’t look back as I waved goodbye to them from the curb. I pulled out my phone to look up Y/n's contact to change her name from “Coach ♄” to “NO ANSWER.”

The use of popular music in movies: Shrek
Hi everyone, in this week post I will introduce you the subject of my projet. You read it right, my project is about the first Shrek movie, released in 2001 and directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson.
Shrek is still today a very popular movie license and one of the factors that made it popular is the musics you can hear in the movies. The most known is probably 'All Star' by the band Smash Mouth that is still today very popular because of the Shrek movies and the internet memes.
In my project I would like to focus on the musics of the first movie for several reasons but the main reason is that the first Shrek movie is the first animated movie that used popular musics for its soundtrack.
My problem statement would be that the choice of popular music, and especially the ones that are in the movie, is not trivial at all. The musics I would like to analyze are 'All Star' by Smash Mouth, 'I'm a Believer' sung by Smash Mouth but originally sung by The Monkees, and at last 'Halleluja' sung by Rufus Wainright but originally sung and written by Leonard Cohen.

One of the parts of my project would be an analyze of the lyrics in the context of the movie and its characters, this would also be link to the chapter Mediation of the Negus. Another part of my project would be the use of popular music as a marketing tool for the popularity of the movie. And the third part of my project would be the use of popular music by Dreamworks in the context of the rivalry with the Disney movies.
My primary sources are the movie Shrek (2001), the three songs I mentioned before 'All Star' and 'I'm a Believer' by Smash mouth and 'Halleluja' by Rufus Wainright, but also interviews of the movie producers that you can find in the DVD versions of the movie. But I also have other documents to help me for this project that are Popular Music in Theory - An Introduction by Keith Negus and Dreamworks Animation: Intertextuality and Aesthetics in Shrek and Beyond by Sam Summers (especially chapter 3: 'All Star' Soundtracks: Dreamworks and the pop song)
As a huge fan of the movies and the musics I am very glad to be able to work on such a topic. I hope that you are all doing well with your project and I wish you all a very nice weekend!

@gyubby99 I had an idea
Summary: After Alastor cheated on Aponi, she decided to take a bit of revenge when Angel tells her the radio demon is in the audience of one of her performances.
Warnings: stripping, sexual content and context, innuendo, mentions of cheating and jealousy, lap dancing, mentions of Maturb*tion and Valentino
Tumblr media
I my head this is what Aponi is wearing.
Partition
Aponi put out her cigarette as she put on her makeup.
This was the first time she was performing since the scandal. And she had something big planned.
"Hey uh... 'poni?" Angel dust called as he walked into her dressing room.
"What's up angie?" Apono asked as she pulled her orange rove up a but more so she wasn't cold.
"Alastor is here," he stated.
Aponi halted the movements of putting on lipstick before she smirked.
Looks like her performance would have to be a little more risqué than originally planned.
"I'll be out in 10," she muttered.
.........
Alastor took a seat in the shadows so he wasn't recognized.
He knew for a fact he'd be hate crimes for what he did to Aponi... she was one of the more loved demons on this side of town....
He already felt awful for cheating.... it was a mistake... he came here mostly to see Aponi considering he wasn't really "allowed" anywhere without Linda... she was.... bossy... or at leats that's the more polite term he'd like to use....
The lights turned off and alastor looked to the stage.
"Lemme hear you say 'Hey, Aponi'" Aponi held the microphone to her lips, her silhouette standing out against the orange light behind her.
The crowd called back, "Hey, Aponi!"
"Say, 'Hey, Aponi!'" She called out again,, a but louder.
The crowd went wild, "Hey, Aponi!"
Give me some!
As the beat dripped the lights went on, and alastor's eyes went wide at what she was wearing.
Black butterfly lingerie.
See me up in the club with fifty-eleven girls Posted in the back, diamond fangs in my grill Brooklyn brim with my eyes sittin' low Every boy in here with me got that smoke And every girl in here got to look me up and down All on Instagram, cake by the pound Circulate the image every time I come around G's up, tell me how I'm lookin' babe
Alastor looked around at all the demons, practically fuming as he saw how all of of looked greedily at her like she was an object.
Aponi danced.
Her moves more secual than Alastor remembered....
Aponi walked down to the floor of the club before sitting on a demon's lap, moving her hips to the beat.
Alastor clenched his fist around his cane as it broadcasted gunshot noises rather loudly.... not louder than the music however.
Boy this all for you, just walk my way Just tell me how it's lookin' babe, just tell me how it's lookin' babe I do this all for you baby just take aim And tell me how it's lookin babe, and tell me how it's lookin' babe Lookin' babe
Aponi then moved to straddle the demon she was teasing, murmuring the lyrics into his ear.
When she stood up, the demon's attraction was clear, his face gully flushed as he followed her with lustful eyes.
That's when alastor saw her look right at him, a small glare on her face before she walked back up to the stage, dancing on one of the poles.
Drop the bass, mane, the bass get lower Radio say speed it up I just go slower High like treble, pumping on them mids Ya man ain't never seen a booty like this And why you think ya keep my name rollin' off the tongue 'Cause when he wanna smash, I'll just write another one I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor Like, like liquor, like, like, like liquor Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor Yoncé all on his mouth like liquor Like, like liquor, like, like, like liquor
As the music played, other demons, including Mal, and Angel began dancing behind Aponi to the same choreography.
Alastor shrunk in his seat, his shadow along with him.
The lights went crazy with the beat, and Alastor gulped as he made eye contact with Mal on accident.
The glare she gave him was undescribably scary.
Beyoncé, Beyoncé? Are you happy to be in Paris? (Are you happy to be in Paris?) Beyoncé, Beyoncé? Beyoncé, Beyoncé?
The music went on, and Aponi walked off of the stage again, walking over to a different demon, this time a woman.
Driver roll up the partition please Driver roll up the partition please I don't need you seeing 'Yonce on her knees Took forty-five minutes to get all dressed up We ain't even gonna make it to this club Now my mascara running, red lipstick smudged Oh he so horny, yeah he want to fuck He bucked all my buttons, he ripped my blouse He Monica Lewinski'd all on my gown
Aponi sat on the lady demon's lap before taking a vodka bottle out of her hand and chugging it.
Alastor's eyes widened again.... his Lilly didn't drink......
To sya he was confused was an understatement.
He was snapped out of his thoughts however when Aponi kissed the demon.
Emotions of rage filled the radio star, and yet he knew if he acted on his feelings right now, it would not end well with Aponi.
Oh there daddy, daddy didn't bring the towel Oh baby, baby we slow it down Took forty-five minutes to get all dressed up We ain't even gonna make it to this club
Aponi stood up again walking round the room, before her wings appeared from her tattoo on her back.
She flew to the stage again, swinging her body on the pole with lidded eyes.
Take all (take all) Of me (of me) I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like The kind of girl you like, girl you like Take all (take all) Of me (of me) I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like The kinda girl you like is right here with me Right here with me, right here with me, right here with me, right here with me
The music blare din the club, making the place move as the bass of the music dropped over and over again.
Aponi layed down on the stage, arching her back so her body was visible in a sexual way.
The residents of the club whooped and hollered and whisled at her.
Alastor couldn't take much more of this......
Driver roll up the partition fast (partition fast, partition fast) Driver roll up the partition fast Over there, I swear I saw them cameras flash Handprints and footprints on my glass Handprints and good grips all on my ass Private show with the music blasting He like to call me Peaches when we get this nasty Red wine drip, talk that trash Chauffeur eavesdropping trying not to crash. Oh, there daddy, daddy now you ripped my fur Oh, baby baby be sweating out my hair Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up And we ain't even gonna make it to this club
The music somehow got even louder....
Alastor looked around the room again, only to see Valentino in his booth with a sleezey smile on his face as his hand moved quickly over his-
Alastor looked away quickly when he realized.
This was pissing him off....
How dare she do this?! She shouldn't show off her body, it's whorelike!
That's what he thought in his mind as his hands clenched together in anger.
Take all (take all) Of me (of me) I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like The kind of girl you like, girl you like Take all Of me I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like The kinda girl you like is right here with me. Right here with me, right here with me, right here with me, right here with me
Aponi sat up before moving her hair fully out of her face.
that never happened..... Alastor has never even seen her other eye and yet here she was showing it to loads of strangers.
Aponi kneeled as she moved her body up an down, earning even more cheers form the club-goers.
That when she opened her eyes and looked right at alastor with a smirk.
She walked over to him, and the spotlight shone down on them both.
Hello! Est-ce que tu aimes le sexe? Le sexe, je veux dire: l'activité physique Le coït. Tu aimes ça? Tu ne t'intéresses pas au sexe? Les hommes pensent que les féministes détestent le sexe Mais c'est une activité trÚs stimulante et naturelle que les femmes adorent
Oh god... she was speaking in french....
alastor gulped as she sat on his lap with a smirk, pulling him Un closer to her by his jacket.
However when she got up, she pushed him back harshly with a glare, anger shining in her eyes as they glowed red as fire.
Take all Of me I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like The kind of girl you like, girl you like Take all Of me I just wanna be the girl you like, girl you like The kinda girl you like Right here with me, right here with me, right here with me, right here with me
Alastor left before the song was finished, scared that Aponi might come to talk to him after.
As if.
She wouldn't waste her time.
........
Aponi sat in her dressing room, a vicorious smirk on her face as she took off all her makeup.
Revenge was sweet.

NETTSPEND SHARES DEBUT MIXTAPE  BAD ASS F*CKING KID
Tumblr media
Angelic daredevil Nettspend, the artist who Rolling Stone places “at the vanguard of underground rap," has just shared his highly-anticipated debut mixtapeBAD ASS F*CKING KID––out now. The mixtape has been mixed and mastered by sonic genius Anthony Kilhoffer and features an all-star lineup behind the boards including ok, evilgiane, Kenny Beats and more. The elusive heartthrob's smash-mouth performances and rage-riddled music have been inescapable yet sparse, leaving fans clamoring for a full-length release. Amongst leaks and swirling rumors, legend around the 14-track mixtape has made it one of the most anticipated and polarizing releases of the year. The tape arrives in conjunction with his first ever headlining tour, the BAFK TOUR!, which kicks off tonight. Already hyped by The Washington Post and SPIN, Nettspend is set to light up mosh pits in major cities across North America, including dates in Washington D.C. (SOLD OUT), New York (SOLD OUT), Chicago, Atlanta, and Los Angeles (SOLD OUT)––see full itinerary below. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.
BAD ASS F*CKING KID follows the recent release of Nettspend single “F*CK SWAG,” highlighting his signature mix of distorted beats and woozy raps––watch the Cole Bennett-directed video HERE. The Richmond, Virginia, artist has steadily been captivating fans across the internet with singles like the chiming, intoxicating “nothing like uuu” while serving up an endless stream of collabs with his peers.
Nettspend’s also proven himself on the road. Among other highlights, his summer Let’s Create Art Tour inspired THE FACE to report that, “The 17-year-old, who looks like a fresh-faced Kurt Cobain, instigated massive mosh pits at his debut London show at Village Underground in June and had sweat-drenched fans mobbing the merch stall.” And his recent festival run––including Brooklyn’s Restless Fest, Warsaw’s CLOUT Festival, Vienna’s Rolling Loud Europe, and The Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash in Bridgeview, IL––has also sparked coverage, with Vulture calling his Rolling Loud California appearance “one of the most hyped sets of the weekend.” On the horizon he’ll be performing at Rolling Loud Miami on December 13th.
As far as his fervent online following has confirmed, Nettspend’s first song hit SoundCloud in late 2022 — but he made his entrance last year with the fittingly titled Kickdoor mixtape before landing “Shine N Peace” on No Bells’“Best Internet Rap 2023” and The New York Times’ all-around “Best Songs of 2023” roundups. The Times then placed Nettspend on their list of “7 Artists Shaping the Sound of 2024,” raving that “the teen rapper stands out for a flow that’s cheerily slurry, rapping over beats that convey both exuberance and disorder.” The FADER puts him among “Gen-Z’s most promising class of hip-hop innovators,” and i-D ran a lengthy profile.

Best opening songs (in my opinion)
You know what they say, first impressions are everything. If I turn something on to watch it, and I am not immediatley entertained, im turning it off. You got to know how to captivate an audience! Opening a movie is hard. Opening a tv show is hard. A good soundtrack can make or break a production. Look at saturday night fever, a godawful movie. I dont think people actually know the plot of the movie, just that they had the bee gees gong crazy. Anyways. Please enjoy this list I have curated of my favorite opening songs in various TV shows and movies.
Real Gone By Sheryl Crowe - as heard in Cars (2006)
Everybody already knows Cars is a genuinely good movie, and its soundtrack is a big part of that. The opening scene of the movie is one of the best I have ever seen for an animated kids movie. Mcqueens opening “I am Speed” monologue, followed by his entrance to Real Gone (which somewhat foreshadows parts of the movie in the lyrics) is electrifying, and welcomes the audience into the movie. This is such a good introduction to a movie I am not even kidding I highly recommend a Cars rewatch.
Kids in America by The Muffs - as heard in Clueless (1995)
Clueless is another iconic movie. I think everyone should be legally required to watch it, at least once. The movie opens with a montage of the amazing life of Cher Horowitz, with a cover of “Kids in America” by Kim Wilde. The song is the perfect backdrop for the totally normal, noxema commercial-esque life led by our main girl Cher. These truly are the kids of America!
Stayin Alive by The Bee Gees - as heard in Saturday Night Fever (1975)
As mentioned above, nobody really cares about Saturday Night Fever aside from its soundtrack. The only reason you would want to watch this movie is for the soundtrack. You might get hooked into thinking "wow, this seems like a genuinenly good movie" as it opens swinging, John Travolta sashaying around as the Staying alive plays, but trust me, the only good part of this movie, is the opening. Source: I have seen it twice.
All Star by Smash Mouth - as heard in Shrek (2001)
What would a radio show of iconic opening songs in movies and shows be without shrek? We live in a PS (post shrek) world, so its hard to imagine a world without this movie. Shrek was released at the end of the disney renaissance era, and was meant to parody the cliche fairytale movies. If you didn’t know this before watching the movie, maybe the opening scene featuring shrek reading a fairytale, before ripping out a page to wipe his ass, and the bursting through his outhouse door, as Smash Mouth plays in the background, might be a tip off. All Star is the perfect contrast to the perfectly polished soundtracks of the fairytale that the movie was parodying. And you know what? Sometimes, the years start coming, don't stop coming.
Perfect Day by Hoku - as heard in Legally Blonde (2001)
The opening of Legally Blonde is quite similar to the opening of Clueless, probably because Elle Woods is like the slightly more grown up version of Cher Horowitz (Minus the whole stepbrother/boyfriend thing). We are introduced to Ms. Woods in a montage of Blonde, pink, and sorority girls. The background song of choice is a bit on the nose - it IS the perfect day, Elle is going to get engaged! But that's fine, because it's catchy, and fits the vibes of the movie perfectly. 
Don't Trust Me by 30H3 - as heard in Pretty Little Liars (2010-2017)
When most people think about pretty little liars, they think of the trainwreck that was the last couple of seasons, which is unfortunate, as the first three seasons of the show were 2010s teen drama perfection. Nothing is more 2010 than the opening scene in the barn, with the girls blasting 3OH3. If only they knew what was in store. This song is so funny, what do you mean “Do the Helen Keller, and talk with your hips”? What does that mean? Maybe it's fitting that they chose a song with baffling lyrics to begin a tv show that would end with twelve million baffling plot lines.  
One Week by The Barenaked Ladies - as heard in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)  
Before somebody tries to argue with me that the movie was opened with Bad Reputation by Joan Jett, We see the Seattle skyline with One week in the background. So I consider this to be the opening song. Was there a movie geared towards teens made in the late nineties that didn’t feature this song? The barebaked ladies had the teen movie soundtrack curators of the nineties in a chokehold. While I do absolutely adore this movie, the fact that they try to pass off Stadium High School as being located in Seattle grinds my gears. It's in Tacoma!!!!!!!!!!!
What's A Girl To Do by Bat for Lashes - as heard in Scream Queens (2015-2016)
I think Scream Queens was underrated. I was hooked on the show immediately, especially after the haunting first drum beats (A sample of the drums originally heard in Be My Baby by The Ronettes). The tension created with the ominous tone of the background music is crazy. The song is just eerie enough to fit the mood, and adds a very haunting ambiance.

bestie can write about y/n doing that “that's not my name” TikTok trend
Word Count: 635
Category: Fluff
Warning: None
Summary: Y/N joins the “That’s not my name” TikTok trend.
a/n: yes bestie, i think i can xx
..
When you have been in a relationship for years with someone as well-known as Harry, it was inevitable to be the subject of many, many names that weren’t your own.
You were no robot; it took some time getting to accept the fact that you couldn’t please anyone and that not everyone would like you, even if the very reason behind the displeasure was that their favorite celebrity was in love with you.
In an ideal world, name-calling would be all about pet names; baby, babe, love, lovie, etc. but the world wasn’t ideal, and you were accepting that.
While you were called some colorful names, you were also called by the weirdest and funniest things that always had you giggling and laughing, and even Harry sometimes teased you with some of these names his fans creatively gave you.
The trend felt like fun, and just like almost every TikTok you posted, it made fans feel more connected to you when they knew that you were aware of what was being said online.
You were in a hoodie, eyeglasses on, and with a glass bottle of orange juice in your hand that acted as a microphone.
That’s Not My Name song by The Tin Tings played as you mouthed along to the lyrics,
“But with nothing to consider, they forgot my name!” You sang, tilting your head as you mouthed along to the echoes, “Ame, ame, ame,”
The screen then changed to a screenshot of an article from years ago, the headline being:
“Harry Styles spotted with mystery woman!”
You had added a text to the screenshot that was displayed as the song sang “They call me hell,” being the first name you were called:
“✹mystery woman✹”
With “They call me Stacy!” came another screenshot of an article headline:
“Harry Styles dating a university student?”
And so, with a text you added:
“✹university student✹”
“They call me Her,” another article headline:
“Harry Styles swimming with new beau in Maldives!”
A text:
“✹new beau✹”
“They call me Jane,” another headline:
“Harry Styles’s girlfriend posted a picture of them together and we are swooning!”
A text:
“✹harry styles’s girlfriend✹”
The song then sang the chorus: “That’s not my name, that’s not my name,” as the screen changed to your face again, shaking your head as you sang.
“They call me quiet,” sang and with it came another screenshot:
“British A list celebrity’s girlfriend spotted dinning with friends.”
And so, a text you had added:
“✹british a list celebrity’s girlfriend✹”
“But I’m a riot,” the song sang and a screenshot of a tweet was displayed:
“if i see that bitch y/n i’ll throw my fucking hands”
You added a text:
“✹that bitch y/n✹”
“Mary-Jo-Lisa, always the same,” it sang with another screenshot of a tweet:
“saw a video of harry’s groupie dancing with anne and my day got ruined”
And with a final text:
“✹harry’s groupie✹”
Your face was shown, singing along with the chorus, again, “That’s not my name, that’s not my name,”
You had added a caption to the TikTok that said:
“y/n? don’t know her”
The moment the fans saw that video, they were quick to smash their keyboards; most laughing, some expressing how unhinged you were, and some sending you supportive comments.
user: alright but does harry know he’s called y/n’s boyfriend?

——————————————————————
Tumblr media

Today was you’re day off working in a music company where you’re a producer and jungkook forced you to come with him saying that ‘it was important’
i listened to this playlist while writing so if you wanna have the same vibe listen to it !
youtube
——————————————————————————————————
“Why did you even brought me here on my day off what’s even so important ”
“Y/n you know I can’t live without you, and nothing really I just didn’t want to be alone ” he lied
“ uf you annoy me by doing that all the time “ you sigh while he laughed slightly “But I’m glad you finally admit it I surely knew that you couldn’t live without me jungkook-ssi~”
“Aish you always know everything don’t you ?” He smirks but it fades after he thinks for a second “But alright I just have to finish some lyrics so if you just can-“
“No! This is my day off I’m not gonna be helping you create you’re oh so random song ! “
Jungkook walks over to you with his big doe eyes he makes when he want's someting from you
“Jungkook you’re not gonna have me doing it this time “
“Y/n-ssi please I’m begging please help me with it just one last time pleaseee “
“No” you say with a straight face even tho you want to melt at the way he looks at you
Jungkook sighed and stood there for a minute thinking he then looked you with a skirk that turns into a smile that looks pretty sarcastic in you're opinion
“What ?” You ask you’re best friends innocently
He was still staring at you and went on his knees
“Jungkook stop this plea-“
“-Noona y/n please I’m begging you please help me do this song it will be such a good song and I’m sure you know it “ he looks up and looks at you’re eyes
You’re cheeks heat up because of the eye contact and because he’s literally begging on his knees ? Logical you would say
“jungkook why wouldn’t you ask yoongi hyung? “
Still looking at you straight in you’re eyes “y/n noona he is not you”
“ oh Jungkook stop it “
His voice cracks “y/n please “
You sigh and extend you’re hand he takes it
“I’ll do it “
“YES Y/N” he takes you tightly in his arms “ thank you thank you you’re- “
You push him a bit away so he still has his arms around you but not you being smashed against his chest like you were
“At one condition Jungkook"
“ eh what is it again don’t tell me you want me to get you ramen !? “
You laugh thinking about last time he was begging again for you to go with him to his parents house when you again had a day off 😒
“Ooh okay two reasons than ! First reason get me ramen “ you say with a big smile because he signed with a smile too walking away to the desk where the digital work station is
“And secondly” he turns around looking at you “please never get on you’re knees again”
“ oh y/n-ssi you don’t like me being on my knees for you ?” He say that taking walking back towards you from his desk
You’re cheeks heat up and you look down not knowing what to say
“cat got you're tongue ? “ he says and you laugh silently at the phrase every parent says
“ I- don’t ugh just come grab ramen ! “
You look up seeing him already looking at you with that playful smirk you know so we’ll
“ aah so you don’t mind me going down on you “
“ what ?! No I - di- yo- you piece of shit shut you’re mouth “ you say looking away
He laughs loudly and starts to walk to the door turning to you “still didn’t decline my offer but alright come with me we’ll get you ramen “
You still don’t know what to say so like a child yo- “ meh I’m Jungkook still didn’t decline my offer blah blah “ you say while taking you’re bag hearing him laugh
“When you were 10 and didn’t know what to say just like now you did the same still such a kid “
You go towards him that is at the door that is open and push past him saying “ shut up “
He laughs and closes the door of his studio following you true the halls of the building walking behind you saying "what would my life be without you hm ? " than hugging you from behind that made you smile and blush you decide to 'forgive' him even tho you weren't mad

My list of songs that remind me of obey me characters.
I am up for debate on these, convince me with an essay discussing in detail why your song is better. đŸŒ»
Inspired by this post made by @delphi-dreamin
Lucifer: Down The Line by Alison Wonderland
Ok, this needs some explanation. This goes really well (I think) with @sassykattery "Dissolution of the Fire" Series. The song suits what i think Lucifer would be feeling at the end.
"I've been hiding in my work
Keepin' busy 'cause it hurts
Couldn't answer all your calls
Thought you'd get it but you don't"
and
"In this house, now just feels lonely
'Cause I'm so fucking lonely"
Mammon: Money by Cardi B
I've said it before, this is 100% Mammon's Anthem. You can't change my mind. My boy would love it.
"I was born to flex (Yes)
Diamonds on my neck
I like boardin' jets, I like mornin' sex (Woo)
But nothing in this world that I like more than checks (Money)"
Leviathan: Number One Fan By MUNA
The entire song screams Levi. Seriously, was it actually written about him? I'd believe it if it was. (Side note: I'll be your number one fan Levi!)
"Oh my God, like, I'm your number one fan
So iconic, like big, like stan, like
I would give my life just to hold your hand
I'm your number one fan
I'm your number one, number one fan"
Satan: Talk Deep by East
Purely because I would love to talk deep all night in bed with Satan. We both read, I'd love to here his opinions/thoughts/feelings on certain books. Also he might benefit from smoking some pot I think, might chill him out about.
"Something about you makes me feel hectic
We're in your room, it's so electric
I'm really glad we left the party
I'm really glad you wanna keep talking
I don't want sleep, I wanna talk deep all night
You're looking at me and I can't believe my eyes"
Asmodeus: Her By Megan Thee Stallion & First Class Bitch by Confidence Man
I couldn't decide between the two for my darling Asmo. Both suit him very well. I have a saved draft about Asmo and the song Her.
"Just the other day, I heard a ho say
Matter of fact, what could a ho say?
With a face like this and a bitch this paid
Shit, what could a ho say?"
and
"Baby, I'm a first class bitch (First class)
Baby, I'm a first class bitch
Baby, I'm a first class bitch (First class)
And I know you love it" (Its true I fucking love it!)
Beelzebub: Chocolate Cake by Ali Barter
Its pretty self explanatory, I think he would dig it. (Can I smash some cake in his mouth? Please?)
"Cake cake cake
Chocolate cake cake cake
Straight to my face face face
I'll eat it all day day day"
Also Need To Know by Doja Cat just because I gotta know how that dick be.
"I heard from a friend of a friend
That that dick was a ten out of ten
I can't stand it, just one night me
Clink with the drink, gimme a sip
Tell me what's your kink, gimme the dick"
Belphegor: Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith
It works ok. He's got to be so worried at missing out on everything while he sleeps. Even more so now he's obsessed with a mortal. Also this song actually slaps. Would definitely scream sing it at karaoke.
"Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing"
Diavolo: Am I Ever Going To See Your Face Again by The Angels
Works really well for this fic by @delphi-dreamin
It's all in the lyrics 😂
"Am I ever gonna see your face again (no way, get fucked, fuck off!)"
Also see (this one is purely my opinion, Delphi wouldn't agree) WAP by Cardi B & Megan The Stallion
"Extra large, and extra hard
Put this pussy right in yo' face
Swipe your nose like a credit card
Hop on top, I want a ride"
Barbatos: Tea For Two by Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie
Old timey, and a little cute just like Barb 💕 (don't PICTURE me on your knee, I am ON your knee)
"Picture you upon my knee,
Just tea for two and two for tea,
Just me for you
And you for me alone."
Simeon: Take Me To Church by Hozier
Please, as if Simeon wouldn't worship your body like it isn't the closest thing to heaven he can find in the devildom. (Fucking get it Simeon)
"Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life"
Solomon: The Wizard by Black Sabbath
Of course I think of Solomon when this song comes on. He'd be a fan, this song also slaps.
"Without warning, a wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell"
And
"Demons worry when the wizard is near
He turns tears into joy"
Luke: Mean by Taylor Swift
He likes it because everyone (looking at you stupidmammon) is mean to him & he can relate. (My inner child also loves this song, I feel you Luke)
"You, with your switching sides
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out, 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again"

Fair
Fair by The Amazing Devil. Okay bear with me here guys. There is absolutely nothing I could add to Joey’s beautiful fucking lyrics so this is my shot in the dark at something worth posting. It got kinda long too so like I hope y’all don't hate it?
Warnings: accidental love confessions, decades of mututal pining condensed into one song, cute ass resolution tho
____________
Geralt jogged across the busy street and ducked into the back entrance to the bar Jaskier was playing at, running significantly later than usual, but at least he’d told Jask he might not make it. It seemed that his friend had drawn quite the crowd, so he took one of the few available seats in a far corner and sat back to watch. 
Jaskier ran through his usual set with a couple new ones or crowd pleasing covers, even though he told Geralt he hated them. When he was winding down for the night someone shouted a song Geralt hadn’t heard before and Jaskier hesitated.
“C’mon! It’s so good!” 
Jaskier chuckled and scanned the audience, his eyes never landing on Geralt even though he waved, “You know what? Fuck it. Fair it is.”
It seemed like the whole front half of the bar whooped and hollered in delight and it had Geralt on the edge of his seat. He thought he knew all of Jask’s songs.
As he started to pluck the intro, Jaskier settled onto the stool and it seemed the audience settled in with him, listening raptly as he began in the soft voice he used to sing Ciri lullabies with. 
It's what my heart just yearns to say
In ways that can't be said
It's what my rotting bones will sing
When the rest of me is dead
It's what's engraved upon my heart
In letters deeply worn
Today, I somehow understand the reason I was born
Geralt was enthralled as soon as he opened his mouth. His attention was often consumed by Jaskier, what with the bubbling feelings he’d been pushing down over the years, but this felt
 different. This was vulnerable and delicate in a way that Geralt rarely saw from his friend. He almost felt like he shouldn’t be here. Had Jaskier been searching the crowd for him? Was there a reason he wasn’t familiar with the song?
"It's not fair, it's not fair how much I love you
It's not fair, 'cause you make me laugh
When I'm actually really fucking cross at you for something"
And he'll say
"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
I'll spend my days so close to you
'Cause if I'm standing here, maybe everyone will think I'm alright"
That line nearly stopped Geralt’s heart. “...maybe everyone will think I’m alright.” It echoed in his head as he remembered where he first heard it. He had been eavesdropping on Jaskier and Yen at some barbecue or something. Geralt had a very hazy, possibly not real, memory of kissing Jaskier the night before but said nothing just in case it wasn’t real. Yen asked Jask why he was still there if he was so heartbroken... and Geralt was only putting the pieces together four years later.
And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all
Like petals in a storm
'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head
Between your shoulder blades at night when light is fading
When they’d lived together Jaskier would come into Geralt’s room when it was cold and do exactly that; snuggle up close and press his cheek between Geralt’s shoulder blades. 
Christ, you'll be the death of me
Geralt’s head was spinning. He said that line to Jaskier practically every day they’d known each other. It was the closest he’d ever made it to ‘I love you’ even platonically. The song was cherry picking all the lovely little moments and jokes of their relationship and weaving them into
 into what? A love story?
I'm still here, love, like I've always been before
Fuck, Geralt knew that too. When he left Yen that was the first thing Jaskier said as he held him close and let him cry for hours.
"How unfair, how unfair, " they'll sing
As they dance across the darling rooftop wreck
He'll trip, and she'll pretend not to have seen
Burying her head into his chest
And clinging to the moment, "Where have you been?"
She'll whisper, "I've waited, oh, so long for you to come"
And as the stars above them hum and hear them
He'll turn to her and say, "That's what she said"
That was their senior year of college, drunk as fuck at a frat party. 
"Oh, how, oh, how unreasonable
How unreasonably in love I am with everything you do
I'll spend my days so close to you
'Cause if I'm stood here, then I'm stood here
And I'll stand here
I'll stand here with you"
Geralt stood up  when Jaskier’s eyes landed on him in the crowd and his voice cracked. The blood seemed to drain from his face, even as the bar clapped and cooed in adoration. Jaskier said a brief thank you, stumbling over his words before racing through the kitchen doors next to the stage. Geralt followed him without a second thought, honestly all coherent thoughts had left his mind.
When he slipped through the double doors, Jaskier was gripping the dish pit for dear life, squeezing his eyes shut like he used to when he woke up from a nightmare.
“Jask are you okay?” Geralt kept his distance even though he wanted nothing more than to gather Jaskier in his arms and never let him go.
The whisper of “no” in response wrapped around Geralt’s heart and nearly squeezed the life out of it.
He inched closer, keeping his voice low and calm, “You were checking I wasn’t there.”
“Did a shit job of that, didn’t I?” Jaskier tried to laugh but it came out as more of a sob and he sucked in a breath, holding it in an effort to keep it together. 
“Hey,” Geralt laid a hand over Jaskier’s knuckles in an effort to calm him down, “why are you scared?”
Jaskier just shot him a glare.
“I’m not mad,” Geralt insisted, “Just confused.”
“You’re confused?” Jaskier was astonished, the humor of Geralt not getting it when it was so obvious was apparently enough to bring back his words.
“Well I’ve got a couple ideas but I’m not notorious for good ideas.” Geralt offered a half smile as he tilted his head down to try to catch Jaskier’s gaze.
“No,” Jaskier sniffed, wiping his nose with his shirt sleeve, “you’re really not.”
Geralt waited, not entirely patiently but he managed to keep up the façade. 
“I ah
 I mean it.”
Geralt nodded, “And ‘she’ is
?”
“‘She’ is me
 except the frat house one. I think ‘she’ was you? I honestly can't remember.”
Geralt grinned, “‘She’ was you. You laughed so hard you hurled.”
Jaskier shook his head, his lips threatening to smile but holding steady, “It’s all blank.” 
Geralt gently gripped his wrist and turned him so they were face to face, “I had no idea
 honestly.”
Jaskier scrunched his nose and frowned, “Geralt, please. We can just forget it. I don’t want to lose you and Ciri. I’m fine pretending, I-”
“No chance in Hell.” Geralt interrupted before he could really get on a roll, cupping his cheek with one hand and glancing down at his lips.
Jaskier’s face went slack with realization for a moment before he gripped Geralt’s collar and smashed their lips together. Even though it was far from their first kiss, it was everything a first kiss should be. Sweet and a little frantic, warm and a little messy. 
When they parted Jaskier kept his eyes closed, pressing their foreheads together as Geralt hummed in satisfaction, “I am unreasonably in love with you too.”

Lyrics as commentary
Hi everyone, I hope that you are all doing well with your sources and research. In this week post I will still talk about DreamWorks Animation: Intertextuality and Aesthetics in Shrek and Beyond and its chapter 3 like last week post.
As some of you mentionned in the comment section of my previous post, popular music and its lyrics are often associated with humor in the movie Shrek. The best example being the very first scene in which we are listening to Shrek telling a fairy tale story from a book and suddendly he uses one of the pages of the book as toilet paper and at the same time 'All Star' by Smash Mouth starts playing, which indirectly indicates to the spectators the tone of the movie.
According to Sam Summers, popular music in DreamWorks movies has 2 roles. The first is to show "an ironic contrast with predicaments", the second is "a reflection of a character's inner thoughts".
I think the two best example for the later are 'Bad Reputation' by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts which really goes well with Shrek personality in a scene in which he manages to win against all the kinghts (by doing wrestling holds for example) that Lord Farquaad assembled to save Princess Fiona. The second example I chose is 'My Beloved Monster' by Eels that plays during a sequence of scenes between Shrek and Fiona and the use of this particular music emphasizes that they are both falling in love with eachother.
youtube
youtube
I think that these two scenes and their musics are really good examples of what Summers further developed later in the chapter. He argues that the songs used can also help the audience make the connections and help them understand better the characters' inner thoughts and feelings.
I wish you all the best for your project and nice weekend!

♡ IT HAD TO BE YOU, WONDERFUL YOU ♡
canon compliant juke valentine’s day fic ♡ for all you sweethearts in the fandom
Before hopeless romantic Julie Molina fell in love with Luke Patterson, she always felt glum on Valentine’s Day. She tortured herself with romcoms leading up to the holiday, went into the “couples goals” tag on Pinterest, pouted when her crushes she never talked to dated other people (read: Nick) and felt all around envious of those having a lover to spend the day with. Her mother dying, she who held the biggest heart of all, also didn’t help her mood.   
But that was before Luke blasted himself into her life. Sure, their romance was a little unorthodox, but predictability was overrated anyway.
They got together last summer, when the band played an amazing gig at a tiki bar on the beach and they were drunk on the heat, pink lemonade and each other’s adoring gazes. Dancing on the beach with him and the boys, Luke had grabbed her in his embrace and whispered lyrics at her she’s never heard before. His fingers grazed her jaw when he said it was a love letter - “For you, Jules.” She didn’t have to go far to reach his lips, both eager and giddy to finally come home.
(Weeks later, the love letter was transposed to music and performed for an audience. It was full circle moment. He loved music and her and now it was all connected. Luke had been dazed, but Julie was quick to kiss the stupor away. They could do that now. It was insane.) 
All week, Julie had been working on a secret gift. She scoured her room was scraps and pictures and notes; reminders of Luke hidden in every corner without realising it. A purple pick was found under her bed, a song in her dream box they never got to finish, a seashell he plucked from the beach, a row of pictures from a photo booth, love notes. Julie would lie if she said she didn’t find it adorable how his only reference of romance were the 80s flicks, as it gave her a heartthrob of a boyfriend that didn’t back down from cute gestures like those notes. It left her heart racing and brought a blush on her cheekbones. the sun’s jealous of that smile jules
It was only natural she made him a collage. 
They had an unspoken agreement to never involve money. Though they were in a band together, all the money they made directly went to Julie. She invested it back in their life passion, obviously, but the fact remained that Luke couldn’t take her on typical dates or buy her the typical gifts. Until American Ghost Dollars got invented, they had to be creative. 
Going to the movies were movie nights in the studio with a projector and cookies they made together. A love song instead of dinner. Dancing in her bedroom with AirPods instead of partying.     
And it was enough. It was more than enough. She loved him so much that each second spend together was perfect as is. 
The collage was small enough that he could easily tuck it away. Pictures overlapped, a dozen Mini Luke’s and Mini Julie’s staring at the camera or each other, from before and after they started dating. 
A photo Flynn took of Luke peppering her temple with kisses backstage. A polaroid of when she snuck up on him and smacked a kiss on his cheek, his teeth flashing white from the beam on his face. A Snapchat of when she showed him the filters and he kissed her instead. Multiple pictures of them snuggling on the studio couch, supposed ‘blackmail’ for Alex, but Julie cherished them. If she closed her eyes, she could feel his arms wrap around her back as she’s sprawled on top of him.
The pretty shell didn’t fit on the collage, so she decided to make a bracelet as well. A thick band made from orange, red and yellow string, the shell as its penchant. 
That morning, she pulled on her most Valentine’s day inspired outfit and rushed to the studio. Her gifts were still in her room, out of sight and kept for later, now she just wanted to see her boyfriend. 
Her smile, painted in cherry lipgloss, stretched wider when she slid the doors open and saw that no one was inside. Just last night had he kissed her a little longer after rehearsal, wiggling his brows like he knew something she didn’t. Luke was terrible at keeping secrets. She wasn’t surprised to find it empty, unless

Luke poofed in front of her with a warrior cry and hoisted her up in one fluid motion. Julie yelled in delight, gripping onto him as he spun them around. For the occasion, he swapped his regular orange beanie for a red one. (One day, her heart was going to explode from all the silly stuff he did.) Matching her expression, his hands steadied her as she wrapped her legs around his waist.    
An index finger flicked his chin playfully. “How long did it take you to plan this?”
He gasped, faux-offended. “Julie! I’m spontaneous as shit.”
“Mh-hm,” she hummed, leaning in to kiss his lips. His frown melted away, the languid kiss flickering with the hint of passion it usually held. Slowly, he set her down, her staying locked between his arms. When she pulled back, he chased after her and pecked the side of her mouth - once, twice.    
“I’m gonna smother you with so much kisses that you’re gonna get sick of me,” he declared, as if the threat of loving her was scary. 
She pressed her forehead against his with a grin. “I look forward to it.”
Instantly keeping up his promise, he nuzzled against her cheek. “What’d you wanna do?”
“Well, we’re ending the day in the hammock.”
“Duh.”
“And,” she sneakily added, “we can be really cheesy and watch ‘Valentine’s Day’.”
He made a face, both remembering their divided opinion on the movie. “If we’re seeing it again, then I’m choosing all the snacks.”
“Deal.”
“Nice,” he breathed, raising his fist between their torsos so she could bump it with her own. Her cheeks were already aching from smiling so much, giddy to spend the entire day with her boyfriend undisturbed by the boys or family or school. 
Her fingers scratched into his plaid jacket. “You know what I’m also looking forward to?” His eyes narrowed at her lilting voice. “Giving you your present.”
His jaw fell slack. “Jules, now I’m gonna be thinking about it all day.” But then she saw the devilish glint in the green of his irises as he uttered: “Guess you’ll have to wait on your present too.”
“You-” That was unexpected. “You have a present?”
Luke bit down on his lip, watching her surprise. “I was waiting for that reaction. Sweet. Okay, I’m saying we dip everything in chocolate. Fruit, popcorn-”
“I’m willing to try one of those crazy combinations you love so much,” she proposed. The excited smooch she got afterwards was worth it.
The couple claimed the kitchen for an hour as they made their snacks, most of which being the typical chocolate covered strawberries both liked a lot, and then nestled themselves in her room. Curled into his warm body, they shared earphones as they watched ‘Valentine’s Day’. Though she asked to watch it, all her attention went to his hands continuously caressing her waist and thigh. It lulled her into a blissful trance. Sometimes he would make a joke (“We’re way cooler than Taylor and Taylor!”) and she’d chuckle and hum and rub his chest. By the time Jessica Biel was smashing the piñata, she was placing soft kisses on his neck and he had to pause the movie. 
Hovering over her with a wolfish grin, he pecked her nose. “I thought you wanted to watch.”
“And I thought you were going to smother me with kisses,” she bounced back with a quirked brow. For a beat, they shared an amused look. 
Then Luke laughed, diving for her lips and doing just that. That rushing feeling coursed through her veins, a pure shot of adoration and attraction with each warm, open-mouthed kiss. He tasted like chocolate, skin sticky from fruit, and smelled in that perfectly boyish way. Julie sighed into the kiss. No cheesy movie or love song could compete with the sensation of slipping her fingers in his hair and having his arms tighten like he never wanted her to stop. Her bedroom was heaven on earth.   
(Perhaps that was silly. She was only seventeen after all. How much did she actually know about the world to accurately make that statement? But did it even matter if right now, right here, she felt like the luckiest girl in the universe? The cynics could bite her.) 
She didn’t know how long they let their lips and hands wander. It was hard to care about time when his mouth was on her ear and her nails drew shapes on his back. 
“I bet,” he whispered, “Taylor and Taylor never felt like this.”
She giggled. “You’re just jealous of the big teddy bear.”
His smile pressed on her cheek. “Maybe.”
When Luke and her first got together, they were scared to touch. Sure, they had their moment on the beach and previously, they found plenty of opportunities to be in contact. But after they made if official and there was nothing to hide behind anymore, it got scary. They yearned for affection, but what if Luke disappeared one day without meaning to and then they’d both ache for each other’s comfort? They got over it eventually and now it was only natural to feel his smile on her skin.
It was hard to imagine kissing anyone but Luke, unfathomable having a different boy hug her from behind at school and whisper sweet nothings in her ear. Only Luke could write her love notes. Only she was allowed to write him ones as well, or leave cute post-it’s on his guitar to cheer him up when he had a bad day. It was just them.
Her mind going haywire over such a simple touch jolted her memory, Julie abruptly sitting up and bringing Luke with her. His brows raised in surprise. She pecked the pout away, brushing her nose against his. 
“Can I give you your present?”
A breathy smile tugged on his cheeks. “Yeah, I’m curious.”
Julie untangled herself from their embrace and reached inside her wardrobe for the gift. Sitting cross-legged in front of him, she gave him his present with barely-concealed anticipation. Hopefully he loved it as much as she loved making it! 
“Happy Valentine’s Day,” she sang, watching him pull the tissue paper out the small bag and unearthing the collage and bracelet. 
Speechless, he gawked at the collection of pictures. Eyes flitted past each quickly, like he wasn’t sure what he was seeing. Crawling over to sit beside him, she placed her head on his shoulder. “You like it?”
He sniffled. Julie looked up and was shocked to note his eyes were shiny. “Aw, babe!”
His gaze caught hers, distraught. “You’re not supposed to make me horny and then emotional!”
She laughed and pressed a kiss on his cheek. His cute reaction made her heart lurch with fondness. “It wasn’t supposed to make you cry.”
Luke sighed, hand guiding her face to place a proper kiss on her lips. It was short, but just as electric as all the ones before. He kissed like he played guitar - always intentional and one hundred percent. 
“I love it,” he muttered. “Thank you. And I love the bracelet too.”
“I made sure it matches your others.”
He captured her lips again. “Yeah
 Thanks, Jules.” His nose scrunched, arrogance dripping from his voice as he tucked a curl behind her ear. “My present is better though.”
Her arms crossed, challenged. “Oh really?”
“Hell yeah, it is. Gonna knock it out of the park.” With a snap of his finger, he conjured his songbook and stuck the collage between two fresh pages. He clicked his tongue with the typical bravado he exuded onstage. “Who knows, Jules, you might even get a crush on me.”
Just as she was about to retort with a tease of her own, her eyes caught a fluttering page with words she didn’t recognise. Pointing at it, she asked: “What’s that?”
Luke frowned, thumbing to the right side and rolling his eyes. “Some lyrics that got stuck in my head a few nights ago. It doesn’t work though.”
“Maybe not. I kind of like that part.” She tapped on the line ‘so deep, your DNA's being messed with my touch’ with a pensive wrinkle knitted in her forehead. Ideas began to brew, throwaway pieces from other discarded songs coming back to her and meshing well with what he’s already composed. “Yeah, this is good, Luke. Do you want to work on it?”
He hesitated for a beat, stare trailing from her to the half-eaten plate of snacks. “Do you want to?”
“Of course,” she smiled. They were Luke and Julie - did either of them really think they could go a day without music? Even if she hadn’t discovered this diamond in the rough, he’d inevitably spring upright to write down a riff or her fingers would tingle to try out a melody. Songwriting was perhaps the best date of all, showing that work and play could successfully be mixed together. 
He sighed in relief. “Good. Okay, so I was thinking
”
Hours went by tinkering on the song, the afternoon drifting by and them having moved to the hammock in the garden. It was a spot Luke rediscovered and she all too willingly found a place next to him. They cherished the quietude and warmth even before they were dating. The page was now littered with flowing, strung-together verses and a half-done chorus. Instrumentals were for tomorrow when they were all together. In the back of her head lingered the thought that he still hasn’t given his supposed homerun of a present, but Julie reminded herself then that it didn’t even matter. This was enough. He was enough. Who knew, maybe he was just talking smack! The doubts vanished as Luke drummed his fingers on her stomach, humming a beat.      
“And you thought it wouldn’t work!”, she teased. 
He puffed. “Cause it didn’t! It needed the Molina Touch!”
A brow quirked, amused. “The Molina Touch?”
“Yes,” he grinned and tapped her chest. “The Touch.”
“I don’t have the Force, Luke.” When his face fell flat, she decided to play along and mimicked his motion. Her fingers circled his sternum as she said: “Well, I look forward to the Patterson Energy bringing it alive onstage.”
The boy rolled on his side, she following suit. The hammock bended to the movement, pushing them closer together. The couple snickered, noses nudging and locked in the other’s arms. Above, the sky was coloured like Monet, purples and blues and pinks as the sun dropped below the trees. Julie stared at the way he craned his neck, green eyes blown wide while marvelling at the sweeping atmosphere. He was the most beautiful person she’s ever encountered. She was probably a little obsessed with him, never bored of looking at him, of finding new freckles, moles and spots. 
Her reverie snapped like a bubble as he said something. 
“What?”
He repeated himself. “Wanna get waffles?”
She blinked. “Waffles?”
“Yeah,” he shrugged. “V-Day waffles. I bet they have red velvet ones.” His face twisted, like he was in on an inside joke, and murmured against her lips: “Whipped cream, Jules. Can’t resist that.”
Damn. He knew her too well. “Reggie’s going to be mad we went without him.”
“Then he should get himself a ghost lover,” he joked. Slapping her hip, the exclaim was resolute. “Let’s go!”
The drive was short, an surprising amount of waffle places scattered around Los Feliz. The cityscape was painted red for the day. Heart-shaped wreaths adorned the doors of stores, bars promoted special cocktails with pink hues, boutiques displaying date night dresses on mannequins in the windows. At the end of a large strip of food joints, a waffle house joining in with a red banner hung across the frontage. RED VELVET WAFFLES! ONLY TODAY!
Julie shot him a suspicious look. “You knew?”
He shrugged, smirking. “A good guess.”
They were lucky. The parking lot was pretty much abandoned, no onlookers to see her joking around with air. He stayed in the car as she got the treats.
As she queued, her aimless thoughts found Luke as a focal point. It was hard not to. Maybe the best thing of all for a hopeless romantic like her, was that she found someone who was an even bigger dreamer than she was. If she jumped for the stars, he rocketed himself into space and hoped for the best. It made days like Valentine’s special, but it also felt like another regular Saturday. He didn’t kiss her differently, looked at her more intently - it was always like this. The red velvet waffles was just
 extra. A cherry on an already perfect milkshake. Luke and Julie never needed fireworks to make the other feel remarkable. 
Dropping back in the driver’s seta with a sigh, she propped the waffles on the dashboard. “I’m not sure if it’s going to taste right, they look kind of mushy, but I’m sure the whipped cream-” The words died in her throat as she looked at Luke, a timid smile on his lips as his present laid flat in his hands. A mixtape. 
Her eyes tracked the CD for a beat (jules <3 written in sharpie with his infamous scrawl) and then flicked up to his face. That was most spectacular of all: the nervous twitch in his eye, the breathy smile. Luke was flustered.       
Gingerly, she took it from his grasp. “How did you make this?”, she whispered. 
The palpable energy didn’t waver. “Carlos. He lend me his computer and explained how to burn CD’s.” His chuckle was awkward. “Had to get you in the car somehow.”
A smile bloomed on her lips. Her heart was truly going to explode; the gesture so thoughtful and sweet. (Shit. He did knock it out of the park. How will his ego cope?!) Reaching over the middle console, she chastely kissed him. “I already love it.”
He shook his head with a grin, shoulders loosening a bit. “You haven’t listened to it yet. C’mon, play it.” He shot her a cocky nod. “You know how to use a CD-player?”
“Very funny,” she quipped. Cautiously, she took the CD out of its case and slipped it into the player. It whirred for a beat, her upping the volume, and just as she thought she’d hear some 90s rock band, something unexpected happened. 
hey jules
She froze, staring at Luke’s feverishly excited face, as his crackling voice came through the speakers.  
i finally learned about technology! you happy? anyway, you know i love you. i love everything about you, i think
 i think that’s kinda why i’m here to begin with.
Tears lodged itself in her chest, ready to spill. Love was going to make her go mad one day. She loved this boy so much that it was insurmountable by anything else.
that’s not- it’s not what this cd is about. His tone brightened. what i love most about you, julie molina, is how fucking in love you are with music. so what better thing to give you, is more music? these are ten songs that remind me of you
 happy valentine’s day, baby. 
It clicked off. Quietly, slowly, a melodious piano variation flowed in. Her breath hitched as she recognised it. Frank Sinatra’s ‘It Had To Be You’ reminded Luke of her? Her hands were shaking. His calloused ones grabbed them, pads of his fingers caressing the skin. A pout jutted from her lips, her eyes shimmering with emotion. It wasn’t fair. Boys weren’t supposed to be this romantic. 
His smile could light up the entire state, touch trailing across her arm up to her cheek, grazing the lone tear that she wasn’t even aware of. “Don’t cry,” he chuckled. “I can be the only sap.”
Shaking her head, she pushed herself over the console and placed herself on his lap. The divide of a stick shift was a plain crime. Circling her arms around his neck, Julie kissed him in the way she thought the song felt. Warm and languid and timeless and wholly, utterly loving. Depthless and infinite. The thrill of his bass voice melted them together, no space between them with his hands wrapped around her lower back. 
For nobody else gave me a thrill With all your faults, I love you still It had to be you, wonderful you It had to be you
“I love you,” she sighed into his mouth. “It’s not enough. It’s not
”
He kissed the lament away. “I know. That’s why music works.” Sinatra sang a line and then he grinned. “Gotta express ourselves somehow.”
Though that was true, though they had music to shape their thoughts into the most beautiful declarations of love, all she wished to have was a word. A simple word that perfectly encapsulated what she felt. Love felt too small. Too simple. But until she found it, she’d keep saying it.
And so she did. “I love you, Luke.” 
His eyes shut in delight. “I love you too, Julie.”
They wouldn’t leave for a long time. Locked in each other’s loving embrace, they listened to every song on the mixtape. And when it ended, they looped it.

After breakfast, Bucky returns the borrowed motorcycle to Sam and grabs his backpack from Sarah's house. Sam only badgers him about if for a few minutes.
"So, you're abandoning us for Jo?" he asks Bucky teasingly.
Bucky grunts in reply. "It's not like that," he says.
“I get it,” Sam shrugs. “After eighty years, you’re finally getting some.” Bucky glares at him. “Just remember, bros before hoes,” Sam concludes, laughing and clapping Bucky on the back. Then he adds, "Don't tell Jo I said that."
Bucky's been debating how much he should reveal when he finally says, "I really like her, Sam."
Sam smiles. "Good," he says. "You deserve someone who makes you happy."
Bucky returns the smile.
"Come on," Sam says, "I've got errands to run in town. I'll drop you back at Jo's place." Bucky tosses his backpack into the bed of Sam's truck as Sam tells him, "Just remember, we promised AJ and Cass we'd take 'em out on the boat on Saturday morning."
"I'll be there," Bucky says.
_____
Bucky stays with Jo for the next two days, wearing sweats during the day while he lounges in her apartment – something he isn't used to, just lounging – and sitting alone at the end of the bar at night, watching her serve drinks with Danny.
They're inseparable for those 48 hours. There's an impending deadline – a sense that they need to fit everything they can into the next few days before Bucky returns to New York.
He slips out of her bedroom Thursday morning, still smiling from the night before, to find her practicing yoga in her living room. Bucky stops and leans against the wall to watch Jo move from one pose to the next, his eyes lingering on her hips and backside. When she moves into downward dog, she spots him from between her legs.
“Morning,” Jo says, sinking deeper into the pose and working to keep her feet flat against the mat. She notices the smirk on Bucky’s face. “Enjoying the view?” she asks.
His smirk only grows. "I am."
She walks her hands across the mat to meet her feet and stands. Before she can turn around, Bucky is behind her, his front pressed against her back and his hands on her hips.
"Best part of the twenty-first century," he says, "is skimpier clothing." His thumbs rub upward across the soft skin of her exposed belly until they're moving beneath the band of her sports bra.
Jo laughs and turns in his arms. "Not the medical or technological advancements?"
"Nope," Bucky says, "definitely this." He pops the band of her sports bra with his thumbs, then pulls her even closer, one hand sliding down her back.
"Breakfast?" she asks.
Bucky hums. "I'd rather eat something else," he says with a smirk, leaning down to press a kiss against her neck.
Jo laughs loudly. "No," she exclaims, "you can't expect sex after you say something so cringeworthy."
Regardless, she lets Bucky lower her to her yoga mat and hover over her prone body.
"You were saying?" he smirks against her lips before kissing her.
Jo hums and snakes her arms around Bucky's neck, pulling him closer. His lips move across her jaw and collarbone down to the tops of her breasts. Bucky pushes her sports bra up carefully to reveal her breasts before taking a nipple between his teeth. Jo scratches her short nails across his scalp and holds him to her chest. He worries his tongue over the hard peak and around the barbell ends on each side of her nipple.
“Bucky,” Jo sighs, arching her back.
Bucky smiles against the skin of her stomach as he kisses lower. He likes hearing his name on her lips. After not having control of himself for so long, he likes that he has this small amount of power over someone else, this ability to make Jo fall apart so easily.
He peels her leggings and underwear down and off before lowering his face between her thighs. He blows warm air across her cunt, making her tremble.
"Open your legs a little more," Bucky says, pressing his large hands against the inside of her thighs. "Good girl," he praises as her legs fall further apart. Jo sighs again as Bucky looks up at her. "You're beautiful like this, doll," he says. Then he licks a thick stripe across her folds.
Jo keens and her back arches off the mat. His tongue meets her clit as his hands grip her thighs, holding her open. Jo reaches down and cords her fingers through his thick hair, pulling slightly. Bucky moans against her cunt and continues to circle his tongue across her clit before sucking it between his lips. Jo rocks her hips against Bucky's face, and he reaches up to take her hips in his hands and guide her movements. She pulls his hair again, harder this time, and Bucky grunts. He alternates his movements against her clit until she's coming hard against his face.
"Bucky," Jo moans, her mouth falling open.
Bucky pulls back and slides up her body. When he kisses her, she can taste herself on his lips. She snakes her hand into his hair and holds him close against her mouth, kissing him deeper.
"Favorite meal," Bucky smirks when they finally break apart.
"That's it," Jo says, laughing and pushing at his shoulders, "leave. Get out. Go." She points to the door.
Bucky laughs. "You wouldn't," he says, with mock hurt in his voice, as his fingers tickle against her sides.
Jo squeals and squirms against his onslaught. "Fine, fine," she shrieks, laughing, "you can stay! But no more of that!"
"What? No more of this?" Bucky laughs. He rolls onto his back, pulling Jo on top of him to straddle his face, and rips another two orgasms from her before he finally releases her, helps her redress, and follows her to the kitchen to start breakfast.
_____
In the late afternoon, before the bar is set to open, Jo takes her guitar out onto the balcony to practice. After a while, Bucky sets down the book he was reading and joins her. He watches cars and pedestrians pass below them on the street while Jo plays a song with a sleepy pace and melancholy lyrics on lost innocence. Bucky thinks it sounds pretty in Jo's soft tone.
Stacked yourself against the odds
Talking back to an act of God
You and your clever mouth
You were laughing when the lights went out
When Jo finishes and sets her guitar aside, Bucky pulls her chair closer to his and leans in to kiss her, cupping both her cheeks softly in his hands.
"What was that for?" she asks, smiling.
Bucky shakes his head, then says, "Sam said you had a record deal."
"So, you and Sam were talking about me, were you?" she teases.
Bucky looks sheepish, but Jo just smiles.
“Yeah, I had a record deal. Years ago. In Nashville. Then Danny got hurt, and we didn’t know for a while if he was going to make it or have long-term complications or what. So, I came home. He got better. We bought the bar. I still get to do what I love, and I get to be with the people I love,” she shrugs.
Bucky can sense a "but" coming.
“But
Danny blames himself for me not following my dreams. When the truth is, even if he hadn’t gotten hurt, I would have come home. I had an ex tell me once that I'm only happy when I'm failing." She rolls her eyes.
"And now?" Bucky asks.
“I’m just waiting to fuck this up,” she whispers.
Bucky snorts. "If anyone is going to fuck this up, it'll be me, doll," he replies. "I'm a 107-year-old ex-assassin who can barely use a smart phone and hasn't dated in eighty years."
Jo cocks her head to the side and says, "We could fuck this up to together?"
Bucky smiles. "Deal." Then he kisses her, his hand cupping the back of her head and his tongue sweeping into her mouth.
_____
When things are slow at the bar on Thursday night, Jo grabs her guitar and plays an acoustic set for the small crowd of regulars. Bucky watches from his seat at the end of the bar top, nursing his beer. The thought that this is somehow all too good to be true, that he doesn't deserve Jo or any of this, creeps back into his mind. He takes another sip of beer and clenches his vibranium fist, willing the thought away. By the time Jo's eyes sweep the bar to meet his, the thought is gone.
He follows her up to her apartment after closing time, and when the door is locked behind them, he pushes her up against it, his arms on either side of her head, caging her in. He takes a moment to admire her, her green eyes shining with a mixture of amusement and lust. He leans down and nudges his nose against hers, his breath soft against her lips.
“You gonna be good for me, doll?” he whispers.
Jo nods.
“Say it,” Bucky says, his voice dark.
“Gonna be so good for you, Buck,” Jo whispers.
Bucky smashes his lips against hers, rough and demanding. Jo moans into Bucky's mouth. His kiss is all teeth and tongue, and his hands wander to her hips and down to her thighs to lift her into his arms. He doesn't stop kissing her until he has her on her bed.
Bucky presses hot kisses against Jo's neck, then tugs her faded Nirvana t-shirt up and over her head. The rest of their clothes follow quicky until they're both naked. Bucky kisses between the valley of her breasts and licks at the tattoo beneath her sternum before taking one nipple into his mouth. His flesh hand comes up to pluck at the other nipple, and Jo cries out. Bucky pulls his mouth from her breast with an obscene pop and scratches the stubble of his cheek across her tender flesh.
Jo's hands thread through Bucky's hair, and she tugs him back up to her mouth for a kiss.
"Thought you were gonna be good," Bucky mumbles against her mouth. Jo whines. She can feel him smirking.
His hand comes up to graze against her cheek, and he kisses her softly, taking his time now. He's demanding, but gentle, and Jo feels as if every inch of her heated skin is on fire. But she wants more.
"You can be rough with me, Sarge," she whispers.
"Yeah? You like it rough?" Bucky flips Jo over onto her stomach. "On your knees," he growls, pulling her hips up.
When she's on her knees in front of him, he uses his flesh hand to push her chest further into the mattress. His vibranium hand holds her hips in place as he slides into her without warning. Jo gasps and shudders.
“You look so good taking my cock like this,” Bucky praises. His grip on her hip tightens as he guides her back and forth over his cock before holding her still and slamming into her, setting a swift pace. Jo keens and her walls flutter around him.
"Harder," she gasps.
"What do you say?" Bucky warns through gritted teeth. His right hand moves upward to tangle into her hair, wrenching her head backwards.
Jo whines, "Please."
When he pulls himself almost completely from her body, then slams back in, Jo's eyes roll to the back of her head, and she sobs. She's consumed by the feel of him.
Bucky leans across Jo's back and whispers in her ear, “You’re doing so good, pretty girl.” His right hand slips down beneath her body to toy with her clit. "Fuck, you're so wet."
Jo cries out, and her body shakes. Bucky feels the way she tightens around him.
“I got you," he whispers against her ear, "I got you.” His soft tone clashes with his rough movements and makes Jo’s head spin.
Jo comes with a cry of his name, and it sends Bucky over the edge. His vibranium hand whirs as it clenches her hip, holding her still as he spills inside her with a low groan. He falls onto his side, pulling Jo with him and holding her tightly.
“I didn’t hurt you, did I?” he asks, his voice soft.
“Not at all,” Jo replies, squeezing his hand.
He presses gentle kisses against her shoulder until she slides from the bed to clean up. Then he slips into a dreamless sleep.
_____
Jo wakes Bucky up Friday morning with soft kisses across his jaw.
"Hmph," Bucky grunts, not ready to open his eyes.
"Danny and I are going for a run," Jo says. "Do you want to join us?"
Bucky cracks one eye open to look at her. "Why?"
"Because I like you, and I like spending time with you," she says, rolling her eyes.
The corner of Bucky's lip pulls up and he opens his other eye. "No," he says, "why are you going for a run?"
"Not everyone has the metabolism and stamina of a super soldier, Sarge," she says, poking him in the ribs. “Some of us need the exercise.”
"What's in it for me?" he asks.
Jo rolls her eyes again before answering. "You can run behind me and stare at my ass in tight leggings."
Bucky hums and slides his vibranium hand down Jo's back to cup her left buttock.
“How long do we have until this run?” he asks, letting his other hand trail up and down Jo’s right side.
“Half an hour,” she answers.
“Good,” Bucky says, rolling her onto her back and hovering over her as Jo laughs.
They end up being a few minutes late to meet Danny.
When they finally emerge from Jo’s apartment, Danny is standing at the bottom of the stairs with Greta. Jo reaches out and scratches the dog behind the ears.
“Morning,” Jo greets Danny.
Danny yawns before responding, “It is indeed.”
“Late night?” Jo asks.
Bucky doesn’t hear Danny’s response. He’s too caught up watching Greta sniff his vibranium hand. When she seems satisfied with her inspection, Bucky strokes the top of her head. There was a dog at the small farm where he stayed in Wakanda, and it was nice to have the company at night when his brain wouldn’t shut off and he kept reliving everything he had done as the Winter Soldier. He wonders if maybe he should get a dog. Or maybe a cat.
“Hey,” he hears Jo say from beside him.
He turns his head to find her watching him curiously.
“Where’d you go?” she asks. “Looked like you were stuck in your head.”
Bucky shakes his head and give her a reassuring smile. “I’m here,” he replies.
“Good,” Danny says, turning toward the door, “Because we’re not gonna take it easy on you on this run, Barnes.ïżœïżœïżœ
Bucky sees Jo roll her eyes and smirk behind Danny’s back.
“Oh yeah?” Bucky says. “How far are we running?”
Danny’s smirk mirrors Jo’s. “On Fridays, we run until we're hungry, and then we stop for beignets,” he says.
And that’s just what they do. They run three miles in the park before heading to a local cafe. Jo grabs a table for them on the patio while Danny pops inside to order after insisting on paying; Bucky joins him to help him carry their orders. Outside, Greta laps water from the cafe’s outdoor dog bowl, then curls up at Jo’s feet and waits for Danny to come back.
When Bucky and Danny join Jo at the table, their arms laden with plates of beignets and fruit and coffees in to-go cups, Bucky sits as close to Jo as he can. She's wearing an olive-colored sports bra and matching leggings, and she shivers in the cool early morning air. Bucky hesitates before shrugging out of his hoodie and handing it to her. Jo's smile and the sight of her dwarfed by his sweatshirt is worth exposing his arm in public.
Bucky's phone vibrates from the pocket of the hoodie Jo is now wearing. She pulls it out and hands it to him. It's a text from Sam: "Don't forget about Saturday morning."
Bucky responds, assuring Sam he'll be there, and sets his phone on the table next to his plate. Jo glances down and snorts.
"Why is Sam your phone background?" she laughs.
Bucky purses his lips. "He thought it was funny. And I haven't gotten around to changing it. I'm good with tech when it comes to covert missions, not," he holds the phone up, "this."
Jo laughs again and takes the phone from his hand. She holds it in front of his face to activate the facial recognition, and then opens the camera app and takes a picture of the two of them.
Danny reaches across the table for the phone. "Here," he says, and their breakfast shifts into a photoshoot that leaves them all in stitches from laughing so hard at their own antics. Even Greta gets pulled into some photos. At one point, Jo pulls a piece of hair from her ponytail across her upper lip like a mustache, and, for some unknown reason, Bucky suddenly thinks it's the funniest thing he's ever seen.
He probably has a hundred photos on his phone now, just from breakfast. He watches as Jo scrolls through them, and when he sees one of her laughing with her head thrown back, he says, "That one." Jo smiles and shows him how to set it as his background. Bucky takes his phone from her and looks at the picture again. It's perfect.
They're almost done with breakfast, and Bucky has forgotten about his bare arm when a teenage boy approaches their table.
"Hey man," the boy says to Bucky, "You're Sergeant Barnes, right? You work with Captain America? That's so cool, man," he says, barely taking a breath. His excited energy reminds Bucky of Peter Parker. "That shit with the Flag Smashers in New York," the kid continues, "that was crazy. You're, like, a real hero, man."
He moves closer to Bucky to snap a selfie, then holds his fist out, and Bucky knocks his own fist against it, hesitantly.
"Thanks," Bucky mumbles, not used to the praise.
"Tell Captain America it's cool he looks like me," the boy says, pointing to his skin, before heading inside the cafe.
Jo just smiles at Bucky, watching the blush creep down his neck, but Danny says, "You should start charging for pictures." Jo rolls her eyes, and Danny laughs. Bucky can see the similarities between the two of them, and for a moment, he misses his own sister.
"Ready to head out?" Danny asks, breaking Bucky from his thoughts.
"Yeah," Bucky says, standing, "yeah."
When they're two blocks from the bar, Jo slows down.
“My legs are sore. Carry me?” she pleads jokingly, and before she can argue that she was only kidding, Bucky's bending down in front of her and pulling her onto his back, guiding her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. Jo laughs.
"You're going to spoil her," Danny says, but Bucky just smiles.
Inside her apartment, Jo pulls off Bucky's hoodie and returns it to him.
"Looked better on you," he says and kisses her gently. "I need to head back to Sarah's," Bucky continues. "Sam and I promised AJ and Cass we'd take them out on the boat tomorrow morning, bright and early."
"I'll drive you," Jo responds, and she's grabbing her keys before he can protest.
_____
Bucky returns to the bar on Saturday night with Sam in tow. Jo's band is playing, and the smile she gives him from the stage when he enters the bar makes up for Sam's constant teasing throughout the day. He likes watching her like this. She’s free, uninhibited, beautiful. Too good for me, he thinks. The thought has been creeping in more and more lately.
Later that night, after Sam has left and the bar has closed, Bucky lets Jo lead him up the stairs to her apartment and into her bedroom.
"Let me take care of you," she whispers, running her fingers beneath his t-shirt. Bucky nods and allows her to strip his clothes off before he helps her out of her own. Jo maps each scar on his body with her fingers and her mouth, and Bucky's heart swells at her tenderness.
She pushes him backward onto the bed and tries to take his cock in her mouth, but Bucky stops her. He's not ready to give up that control just yet, worried he won't be able to stop himself from being too rough with her. When she straddles his hips and sinks down on his cock, he holds her hips with his hands and guides her movements. He guides her own fingers to her clit and watches as she falls apart above him before flipping her onto her back and driving back into her. When he comes, it's with a shout of Jo's name, and he drops his head against her shoulder, panting.
As he holds her while she sleeps, the thought he's been having – that he doesn't deserve this – returns, and Bucky lays awake brooding.
When Jo wakes on Sunday morning, Bucky is gone.

Read the Previous Chapter.
--------
Thursday night/Friday, May 6-7, 2023
After Daveed heard what you said, he stood stock still, trying to decide whether or not to go back into your room.  He clenched his fists and concentrated intensely to not break the fucking door down. All he needed was for you to call his name

You stood in the middle of your room, naked except for the towel.  You closed your eyes and prayed for strength to not go running after him. You had to stay in control.  
But if you saw him turn your door handle, you would fuck him right there on the floor of your room.
After a few minutes, you both turned around and went about your business, Daveed to his room and you to the shower. You thought of Daveed in the shower and fell into bed still thinking of him. 
What did you want for your birthday, if not Daveed?
Daveed, alone in his bed, thought of all the feelings involved.  He knew you were fragile, but it seemed you were relaxing a bit, deciding to trust him if just a little.
He resolved to give a little bit of chase. You just needed to feel safe and accepted. 
You dreamt of each other so deeply that all that was left when you woke up was a wisp of a memory.
------
Daveed did not sleep long.  Even though it was after 4 o’clock when he went to sleep, he was up by 10, hard on raging under the sheets.  
He’d be damned if he jerked off, but he remembered your voice through the door of the room last night, and he had to strip the sheets away, as he was making a mess at the thought of you.  
He decided to go for a run on the beach. He pulled on some basketball shorts and decided to go shirtless, as the temperature outside was already 80 degrees.
Daveed ran with his music blasting in his ears.  He played out song lyrics and lined up preparation for upcoming roles.  Before he knew it, he was three miles down the beach from the house.
He turned around as the tropical heat and the sun was getting to be a bit much. He went back in and went to his room to shower and put some clothes on. You didn’t know the sight you were missing.
Tumblr media
When you woke up at Noon, you pulled on Mark's t-shirt and basketball shorts and made your way to the kitchen which had floor to ceiling windows and glass doors facing the ocean. It was breathtaking. The doors were open and the ocean breeze felt amazing.
Tumblr media
"Good morning, Sunshine!" 
You turned to see Daveed at the stove, greeting you and smiling. 
He was wearing an orange Oakland tank top and some pajama pants slung low on his hips. You smiled at his hair, which was tied up in two curly puffs at the front, with the back down in his wild curls.  
Even though it was an odd hairstyle for a grown man, you knew the curl life. And it did not take away from his masculinity.  
Not. At. All.
Besides, his curly puffs gave you a place to focus rather than on his well-muscled arms.  
Daveed’s hair reminded of when your mom did your hair only to have Dell try to pull your pony tails out as soon as she dismissed you from the kitchen chair. 
Ya’ll would get into so much trouble for fighting yet again. The thought gave you a warm feeling at the memory as you smiled wider and patted your own pineappled hair. 
‘Damn, her smile is a killer,’ Daveed thought as he watched you look around the kitchen for other signs of life. Now he was glad that he couldn’t sleep, and that he decided to be productive.  
He would have the chance to talk to you. As friends. Yeah.  He nodded to himself, trying to emphasize that last thought.  Friends.
Fuck.  He was in serious trouble.
Noticing that you and he were the only two humans in the kitchen and sniffing the air for the delicious smell that was wafting over from the stove, you finally greeted Daveed.
"Good morning, D.  Looks like everyone else is still knocked the fuck out.” 
Your other four friends were nowhere to be found.
You laughed, yawned and stretched.  Daveed turned back to the stove, cursing to himself. You were so damn fine.
“Calm the fuck down boy,” he whispered.
“What’s that?” 
You ventured over to see Diggs making French toast and bacon. Your stomach rumbled.
"I said sit down. Sounds like you’re hungry, haha. We gotta feed you. Grab some fruit over there and I'll serve you right up."
You grabbed something and sat down at the bar facing the windows. When Diggs turned to offer you some fresh oj, you didn't notice him watching you eat your banana. 
Your lips were a problem for him. When you looked away from the ocean, Daveed turned back to the stove and looked over his shoulder to smile at you.
His smile made you feel some kind of way.
"Why do they call you ‘Smiley?’" 
Daveed laughed, a sound that was quite nice.
“Because I started out as a clown. A professional clown.” 
You tilted your head, convinced that he was fucking with you. But maybe, he and Rafa always talked about the random shit they did to make money before they made it.
When he winked and turned back to the stove to the food, you just shook your head and ate the rest of your banana, positive that Daveed was fucking with you.
Meanwhile, Diggs was trying to stop himself from thinking about fucking with you. He did not need to watch you eat a banana. He licked his lips as he thought of how your lips tasted.
You smiled at Diggs’ broad back. He seemed different this morning.
He turned to plate some food for you and smiled again, shaking his head.
“Most times it’s a nervous tick.”
You were confused. “What’s a nervous tick?”
“My smile. I'm actually a really shy person.  Most times my smile is a defense mechanism.”
You were not sure about all that. Daveed had to know how he affected people.
“I’m not sure I believe that. Man. You are famous for performing in front of hundreds of people a night.  You’re on tv, movies, for goodness sake! You do live rap shows with your shirt off. I ain’t boo boo the fool.”
Daveed’s laugh filled the kitchen.
“How many clipping. shows did you watch on YouTube?  Or did you only watch the ones where I'm shirtless?” 
His look was hungry, and surprised, like he couldn’t believe he’d said that out loud. Then he barrelled on.
“I am shy, but I get my energy from crowds. I'm an introverted extrovert. Ya feel me?"
You nodded, understanding. You noticed that he was fiddling with the spatula he had in his hand. Uncertain again. He really was awkward. It was sweet. And hot.
Diggs continued.
"When I perform, I'm probably under the influence."
Pause.
"Hold up. What?" 
You flashed back to Mark. You couldn’t be around this again. Daveed caught your panicked look.
"Oh, it’s not like that, haha."  
That laugh and that smile. It automatically put you at ease. 
"It just takes a little. Drink; like last night at Criag’s Adrenaline; when I used to run track. Now it's performing." 
Daveed watched you carefully, gauging whether or not to continue. Fuck it, he thought. He felt as comfortable with you as when he first met Rafa.
"You know what the best drug is?" 
You cocked your head to the side, intrigued despite yourself. That smile. It was angelic and so opposite of what came out of his mouth next.
"Fucking. You know? When it's that good good. Or even better, that feeling when you haven't smashed, but the sexual tension is everything?"
There was suddenly little air in the room. You had to open your mouth to get oxygen. Oh. You knew the feeling alright. You gulped down your orange juice and continued eating.
"Hard-dick dopamine delivers every time." 
He said it so casually. He was playing innocent, but he was going for it.
You choked on your bacon. Daveed came up beside you.
"Raise your arms above your head.”
You turned toward him, held your arms up and he helped you, his hands holding your hands up. You stopped coughing pretty quickly but you stared at each other with your small wrists in his large hands. Daveed shifted on his feet and cleared his throat.  
“You good?" His voice had to be a couple of octaves lower. 
You gaped for a second, mouth still open, then laughed and nodded, pulling your arms slightly to get him to release them.  Daveed let go, stepped back and laughed along.
"But yeah. Back to what we were talking about...It just takes a little high, and I'm a completely different person." 
You watched him as he crossed his chocolate arms. 
"So what's your drug? Your motivation?"
That was something you didn't want to think about too hard. You tried to avoid his eyes. You cleared your throat and took another drink.  
“You got any vodka for this orange juice?”
-------
“C’mon. I made you this gourmet breakfast and everything
” You could hear the smile in his voice even though you were looking down. You didn’t feel pressed, you just felt like telling D this would open up so many things to him.
"Well, I don't do hard drugs if that's what you mean. No pills, or coke. Don't need molly," you winked and filled your mouth with French toast. 
"Gosh. This food is amazing!"
Daveed could barely make out the words through the food in your mouth.  He shook his head.
"Thanks, but don’t play me Lindy. Is french toast your motivation?"
Diggs wasn't letting you off the hook. You thought about it.  He was being very cool, and you felt safe with him.  You plunged ahead.
"I think about how fragile life is. How it is not guaranteed from day to day. How it can be taken away in a moment." 
You tried to push the emotions down and took a deep breath.
"I lost my twin brother when we were 17 in a car accident. I think a lot about what he didn't get to do. And that motivates me to do better with my life."
Daveed just looked down at the counter, mortified that he had pushed you to share something so personal. Then he finally looked up at you.
"That's a good reason to be motivated. I'm sorry for your loss." He looked down at his plate again.  "Look, I didn't mean to press you...."
Telling Daveed about Dell just felt right, even though you really didn’t know him like that.
"Don't apologize.  You didn't know. And I'm glad I told you." 
Diggs looked up at her and smiled. You smiled back.
He got up and stood next to you to grab your plate. Daveed smelled like coconut. It was nice. You closed your eyes and sniffed him.
"You done?" He was laughing at you.
"What? Oh, yeah. Thanks."
"Where is the fooood?"
Craig padded in the kitchen, with a wide smile. 
"There you are." You grinned at your cousin.
"Goood morningggg peopleeeee! I smell the Diggs Special. Hey. You two fuck last night?”
Rafa came in already on one this morning. Unlike his best friend, his confidence seemed to seldom waver.
He ignored your shocked looks and Craig’s laughter and went to get some food.  He continued as if he just walked in and said, “Good morning.”
"Ay, D, you gonna go check out this venue in town with me?"
Daveed shook his head at his friend. But he was chilling.
"Sure, what up?"
"I figure we can turn up on stage tonight"
"Cool. Let me eat and chill a little bit before we go." He looked at his watch. "About two?"
"Dope."
Jasmine walked into the kitchen. 
“Lindy needs to go shopping. We should come with.  You down, Craig?”
“You know it. That reminds me, we gotta fix you up.  Start destroying Daveed’s pants, since Lindy won’t do it for real.”
“Y’all gonna get enough
” you were getting swole.
“Calm down Ms. Fussy pants. Let’s go.”
Craig grabbed some shears from the kitchen and went toward Lindy’s room.
When you got to your room, Craig gave you the business.
"You are so tiresome."
“What?”
“You just need to fuck the man. We are all tired of feeling this sexual tension. It’s bothersome.”
“Leave me alone, Craig.” You watched as he worked his magic on the jeans. “What if I don’t want t
”
“Lie.”
“What if I’m not read
”
“Fuck that.”
“What if he hurts me? What if I hurt him?”
Craig put the shears down and turned toward you.  
“Listen, stop over thinking and do what you feel. What you want. Turn up. It’s your birthday. Anybody can see that man is all about you.”
“I’m scared.”
“I know. But you deserve
” He didn’t say it. 
“You deserve. Now put these clothes on, bitch.”
----- 
You emerged from the room and no one paid any particular attention to you, no one but Daveed. 
His eyes swept from your feet, which were housed in some of Jasmine’s high heeled sandals, to your long, brown legs which were highly moisturized and seemed to go on and get better from your juicy calves to your generous, muscular thighs. 
Craig had cut and distressed some jeans that Daveed didn't particularly love to garments that he felt he could not live without. 
On you. 
Tumblr media
Damn, Daveed gaped as he remembered that you probably didn’t have any underwear on. 
His eyes moved up to notice how his blue Oaklandish t-shirt was huge, but the way you had it tied up let it accentuate your waist, breasts and shoulders.
‘Good God,’ he thought. As his eyes moved up to yours, he saw that you noticed his reaction and were smiling at him. He smiled back. He wanted you to wear nothing but his destroyed and altered clothing for the rest of your life.
“OKAYYYYYYY, you look cute as hell.” Jasmine admired your outfit.  
“Thank you!”  Craig responded. 
“Yes, you did that!” Jas laughed.  “And the model ain’t half bad.” Jasmine got up, took your hand and had you twirl.
“Got DAMN!”  
Everyone turned and looked at Rafa as he yelled.  He put his hand over his mouth. “Oh, did I say that out loud?”
Daveed was so grateful that you did not have any of your own clothes. Your ass in those distressed shorts were everything. He gulped and you and Jasmine giggled.
“Be quiet!” 
Anthony shushed everybody and then gave you a double take. 
“Nice, Lindy,” but then he turned back to the tv. He was used to Jasmine’s glorious ass, so he was nonplussed. 
“Let’s just finish this episode before we go. It’s my favorite,” he said as Jasmine went back over to sit down with him.
Black Dynamite was on the tv while they were waiting. It was the alien episode. 
Ant and Jas were curled up in a big white overstuffed chair, Craig was on the other,while Daveed and Rafa were on the couch. You sat down in between them. 
You leaned your head on Rafa’s shoulder, looking at Daveed. Rafa put his arm around you, watching the show, as you put your legs up on Digg’s knees. 
You didn’t see Rafa wink at Daveed, who just smiled at you and turned toward the screen. After a couple of minutes, he put his hand on your shins, looking over to see if it was okay.  
Your chill smile indicated your assent.  He started lightly rubbing, looking down at your caramel skin. Your legs were so soft. 
Diggs peeked up at you relaxing and accepting his touch, and snuggling into Rafa’s embrace.  The way you were looking at him was everything, even if you were in Rafa’s arms. 
Rafa was his boy. And he knew what you wanted. As for Daveed and you, you two were watching each other and not the screen.
Daveed decided to move his hand up your leg, but a flash went off and he stopped. He hadn’t noticed that the show was over and that Craig was taking pictures. 
"This is so cute! Family love!" 
He was cheesing as he snapped a wide-angle selfie and some pics. Jasmine came and sat on your lap, the couch becoming a crazy twister game. 
Anthony came behind the couch and snuck in the pics with the crazy eyes flipped a double bird behind Rafa’s head. You were all being so silly.
"What is this, a orgy?” Rafa with the jokes. 
“Not that I’m saying there’s anything wrong with that.” That devilish smile. Everybody laughed. 
“Y’all are some beautiful people, but ain’t nobody got time for that. Let's go."
Anthony seemed hype.  He slapped his hands together and then rubbed them.
“Okay, we have a choice, since we are going into town we can drive
.” he looked around at everyone.  “OR, we can go over in my new boat!”
Everyone sensed that there wasn’t really a choice, so they all said, “Boat!” and laughed.  
Anthony’s grin was wide as fuck.  Jasmine harshed the flow.
“The only thing is, it only has four seats
”  Everyone looked around and counted six people. Ant spoke up.  
“I’ll be piloting, so I will stand, but it takes about 20-30 minutes, soooooooo
..”
“Sooooooo, Lindy
 would you mind sitting on D’s lap? We need to get creative.” 
Her eyes sparkled as she smirked. 
“Would that be okay with you Diggs?”
Rafa coughed “Setup” into his hand.
You looked at Jasmine and Anthony and Daveed, who was looking at you expectantly.  You were in agreement with Rafa, but you weren’t mad. It seemed that everyone was looking at you.
“Sure
” said Daveed whose eyes were fixed on you.  “Is that okay with you, Lindy?” 
You smiled and nodded your head.  “I’m cool with it.”   Daveed smiled wide, eyes crinkling with happiness.
Tumblr media
Jasmine and Anthony led you all out onto the back deck, where you and Jas took off your heels, and down to the beach, a little ways away to the boat dock.  You and Daveed brought up the rear of the little ensemble.
You were watching the waves and the beautiful surroundings, trying not to focus on the awkwardness. 
Daveed was watching you.
“You good Lindy?” 
Daveed’s voice broke your reverie.
“Yeah.” 
You two stopped and looked at each other.  Your head was tilted back, looking into D’s eyes. He smiled down at you and you felt warm.  Must have been the sun.
“Heyyyy youuu guuuysss!”  
Daveed nodded his head toward the boat. 
“Leggo.”
You smiled and followed him. Ant was at the helm, Jasmine and Rafa were at the front, and Craig was in the second row.  
Daveed stepped on the boat and turned around offering you his hand. You flashed back to that January night.
You swallowed, smiled and tried to board. And immediately fell when you misjudged the deck while stepping on the boat.
Daveed helped you up, chuckling, while Craig howled and Rafa shook his head. Jasmine just stared, open mouthed, said “That’s not funny,” then burst out laughing.
Anthony was busy getting the boat ready but had a grin on his face.
“Fuck all y’all!”
“No, not all of us, just D
”
“Shut the fuck up Craig.”  You gave him the gas face and then turned and smiled at Daveed.
Daveed was seated and spread his arms out so you could sit down.  Anthony started the engine, so you got settled in on his lap as carefully as you could.  
“You okay?” you asked him softly, turning on his lap and feeling the muscles in his thighs. And maybe something else. 
You tried to adjust your shorts to cover your core adequately, because like this, he would easily be able to ascertain your situation.
Daveed looked into your eyes and whispered, “I’m perfect.”
You agreed silently as you stared back into his big browns. 
You were thrown against Daveed’s chest as the boat gained speed. You were able to feel his abs through his t-shirt and your rear shifted and came into contact with his crotch. 
‘This is going to be a fun ride,’ you thought, smiling to yourself.
Daveed put his arms around you, one at your waist and one on your legs, to try and hold you steady.  The movement of the boat allowed him to feel you, just as he wanted.  
He turned his head and looked at the water, concentrating on keeping his hands in neutral locations.
Jas looked over at you.  “You okay?” she mouthed.
You smiled and nodded, giggling a little.
D turned his head back quickly to look at your face. You looked at him and winked. He smiled and unknowingly started stroking your leg.
You stopped laughing and all of your attention turned to his hand on your leg. You adjusted yourself in Daveed’s lap. You were getting a little moist and could feel his cock becoming hard. 
Your lips parted and you started breathing a little faster.
The feel of you on his lap was what was up. There was a definite heat from your core. Daveed happened to look down at his t- shirt on you and saw that your nipples were hard.  
All he wanted was for them to be in his mouth and to be enveloped in your heat.
Daveed turned his head to look at everyone else to see if they noticed you two, and his lips brushed your shoulder.  He heard your sharp intake of breath.
Geez, he felt like he could take you on the boat in front of everyone. By the way your body was reacting, he thought that you would let him.  
He finally noticed he was stroking your leg and stopped himself.  He sat up straighter and tried to get control.
You closed your eyes and moaned a little when Daveed pulled away.  All you wanted at that moment was him inside you. When you opened your eyes, Daveed was looking at you.
“You sure you’re comfortable? I could sit on the boat deck if you want.”
“No!” you said a little too loudly.  Craig smirked at you.
You blushed, then relaxed again in D’s arms. How could a moment be so awkward, yet so perfect?.  
After about 20 minutes, the view of the pretty little town of Isabela became clear.  It looked like a neat spot to spend the day, but you were sad that the boat ride was over.
As the boat came to a stop and tied off at the dock, you and Daveed let everyone get off before them, then D climbed out, turned around and held out his hand for you.  
You took it and stepped out onto the dock. You didn’t let go and Daveed didn’t either. No one said anything, just exchanged glances as you and Daveed concentrated on being casual with it.  
Truth be told, each of your hearts were pounding in your chest.  
This is another world. You could be free and do what you wanted to do.  And what you wanted to do was to hold Daveed’s hand.
Daveed’s chest was puffed out, proud that you decided to show affection. In front of the crew. 
This was a big step but he tried not to make it a big deal.  
You strolled together and admired the architecture, holding his hand until you walked to the shopping center on Barbosa Street.
They were going to check out a venue to do a show later in the weekend. Daveed didn’t want to let you go.
Rafa and Ant just walked on and let Daveed handle his business. 
“Go to work.” 
You smiling at him was everything, as Daveed played with your hand, moving it up to lace his fingers in yours and press your palm upright.
Jas and Craig went into the store.
“It’s not work. Having fun creating with friends
”  
Daveed really wanted to create fun with you. He felt like he should kiss you goodbye, but he didn’t want to push it.
“Bye Daveed.  See you in a few.” 
You laughed, cause it was like he was going off to war. This was too much.
“Bye Linden
” 
He finally let your hand go and then backed up the street in the direction that his bros went, not wanting to let you out of his sight. 
When you disappeared into the store, he turned and ran to catch up.
------
Rafa and Anthony were talking to the club owner in Spanish, Daveed following along, but not very well.  He thought they were talking about lighting and sound, but couldn’t get the entire conversation.
“Tienes tu propio gaffer o tenemos que hacer nuestra propia iluminación?”
“Nosotros tenemos un capataz, pero Ă©l cobra una tarifa separada.”
Daveed zoned out and planned how he was going to get closer to you.
Rafa turned to him and said something, and Daveed nodded. 
“Oh, absolutely.”
 He had not one clue what was happening in this club right now.  His mind was on you.  Rafa and Ant looked at each other.
“So, when they bring up the pigs in tutus, we cut one open and smear the blood all over you
” 
Anthony wanted to see if Daveed was paying attention.
Daveed smiled. “Sounds dope.”
Rafa and Ant shook their heads at him.
“Listen dude, your head is not in the game right now. You need to get right.”
They didn't have to tell him twice. 
------
You were going to town.  Craig and Jasmine had abandoned you and were already down at Pinkheart and Loft.  You were not moving from H & M.
You didn’t mind being alone in the store, as you minored in shopping in undergrad. You were in the zone. And zoned out from what was happening with Daveed. You needed some headspace.
Your hands were full of clothes and your heart was feeling light as you headed toward the dressing room. 
You could barely see over your pile when the cute top you just recently grabbed off a clearance rack fell on the floor as you rushed ahead.  You walked past it before you realized, then went back to try and pick it up.
You jumped as soon as you turned around.
Daveed was standing there with your top in his hand.
"Drop something?"  That smile was everything.
You stared at him wide-eyed. 
‘Fuck. Me.’ Daveed thought. 
"Here, let me take your pile, I'll help you to the register."
You smiled at him again. He'd do anything to see that smile forever.
"Oh, ok. Thanks." 
You handed over the clothes to reveal a handful of sandals underneath which you kept. Daveed slowed himself to appreciate you fully.
“I really like that shirt on you.” Daveed bit his lip. “And those shorts..”
You saw him checking you out and you watched him, your eyes fixed on his lips. 
You recalled the talk about what mouths could do from months ago but were thinking about his succulent lips. And you couldn’t stop.
You needed to remain in control.
"I'm not going to the register, I'm going to try these on.  You can drop them at the fitting room." 
Daveed looked around to tear his eyes away from you.  He caught you checking him out when he swung his eyes back around.  His stomach flipped a little.  
He smiled.
"Well."
You were at the fitting room, the attendant eyeing Daveed as he gave you a number and pointed you to a stall.  
You took the 10 garments you were allowed and started to go into to your fitting room, looking back at him over your shoulder. You disappeared into the room.
Daveed just stood there.
He made a decision.
You stood there for a minute, shook, before you thought you had yourself together. You were about to take off his shirt when Daveed opened the door at came in.
The look on your face was everything.  The wide eyes, that mouth in an "O." So damn fuckable.
"The guy out there said I could bring you the rest of your clothes."
That was true, after Daveed paid him 20 dollars.
He got close to you, reached behind you and put the clothes on the hook.
You could smell him. He smelled like the coconut and his cologne, and your dreams.  You closed your eyes.
Daveed wanted your lips. He wanted to own them, to command them, to hear them command him.
You opened your eyes and he backed up.  He tried to contain himself despite your proximity.
“Look. Daveed. That night. The launch party. I was wasted. I usually don’t lose control like that
 I don’t want you to think that’s really me.”
You were keyed up and stressed because you were losing control.  He could tell.
God, he wanted to put his hands on you. In a good way. You’d calm down then.
He knew you had baggage.  And that he should probably stay away.  But he didn't want to.  Hell, he had matching luggage. 
"Well, I think it is you. I have a theory that people are more their real selves when they are drunk or high. Inhibitions are gone. They get to act out like they want to. Do what they want to."
Daveed looked into your eyes.
"What do you want to do, Lindy?"
You wanted to do a lot of things.  To Daveed. In this fitting room. You almost gave it all up for him right there.
Then you got mad. At Daveed or your feelings, you didn’t know.
"That's just it, adults don't get to do what they want to do all the time. It's called adulting, you know. Responsibilities...?" 
You fired back at him.
He opened his mouth and spoke.  To himself as well as you.
"Chill."
He said it gently, not raising his voice at all, but the force behind it made you shut the fuck up. 
Your knees were weak and the small of your back was acting up again. Your body was reacting without your permission. You shivered.
Daveed could tell you were reacting to him physically.  But he wanted inside your mind, not just your body. He was going to give you some space. 
He backed toward the door of the fitting room. Leaning against it, his long body in jeans and t-shirt delectable.
“What do you want, Linden?” 
His voice was deeper, more commanding now. You swallowed. You were exhausted from fighting it. Maybe you could have a taste.
“I-I want a kiss. Just a kiss.”
Daveed felt triumphant.  He smiled and looked down at his shoes, then back up at you.
“Come get it.”  
He was going to let you make the first move.
You bit your lip through a smile.  You walked the five steps toward him in slow motion it seemed, as you raised up on your tiptoes to reach up and peck his lips, your hands behind your back.  
Your lips met his pillowy goodness and you leaned back to look into his eyes.  
Then, you put your hands on his shirt, tracing his abs all the way up and going back in for more, Daveed’s tongue prodding it’s way between your lips, and your tongue dancing with his.
You moaned as Daveed put his hand on your hips and then slid them up the sides of his shirt, skimming your breasts, and resting under your arms as you two went for it. 
He lifted you up and you wrapped your legs around his waist, as he backed you into the wall. 
He palmed your ass in the shorts, his long fingers reaching inside the distressed rips and squeezing your ass. He spread you apart and squeezed you closed, so that his fingers barely grazed your core and drove you crazy.  
When you reached up and pulled his hair, that’s when he stopped kissing you, leaned his head against your forehead and breathed, “Fuck, Lindy. You don’t know what you do to me.”
You just looked at him and craned your neck for another kiss which he couldn’t deny, but then he stopped and let you down.
“What do you want Daveed?”
Daveed put his hand on the wall above your head. You looked up at it and at him and he had to remember to breathe.
“Fuck it. Linden, I want you. You know that.” 
You raised your eyebrow and smiled up at him, then bit your lip, playful. Daveed’s throat became dry.
“And I think that I know that you want me too. But I know it’s hard.”
Your eyes swept down his torso to his pants, and damn, well
if it wasn’t hard right now.
He cleared his throat.  “It’s hard for YOU.”  You smiled wide. 
He rolled his eyes.
“You know what I mean. It’s hard for you to be vulnerable, but Linden, I won’t hurt you. I promise.”
The way he looked in your eyes. You couldn’t go there with him, but the physical was okay for now. You decided to indulge yourself.  It was almost your birthday.
“What if I want you... to hurt me?” 
The innocent look in your eyes masked the devilish intent in your words. Daveed, stomach flipped again and he screwed his eyes shut. He masked a whimper and opened his eyes again.
“Huh. Don’t play with me Linden.” The menacing tone of his voice was making you wet.
“But what if I want to play with you, Daveed?” 
You reached for his belt buckle; Daveed stopped you, grabbed your hand and put it above your head against the wall, his arms now caging you in. 
You raised your chin, meeting his glare with yours. His eyes were fucking you so rough right now. You had to open your mouth to breathe, your tongue darting out to wet your bottom lip.
Daveed was looking as if he was going to devour you..  That mouth. He wanted to take it, but he restrained himself.  He had to know.
“Tell me. What. You. Want.”
You held his stare, the air around you crackling with energy.
“I want you Daveed.”
His smile was wide. Then he bent down, grabbed your thighs in his hand, picked you up and carried you to the mirror and pressing you against it, running his hands back down your body to your ass, cupping and grabbing it to memorize how it felt.
“We are NOT about to do this in the fitting room at H & M.  But somebody is going to cum. Right now.”
You kissed him as he ran his hands under your shirt to your nipples, pinching and rolling them in between his fingers as he kissed you again.
You started whimpering in your throat as you let him make you wet. 
“God, Daveed.”  
You kissed him again, but he did not stop what he was doing to your breasts.
“What?”  Daveed asked when you came up for air. “You wet?’
“Fuck yes.”  
You moaned as you threw your head back and huffed.
Daveed pulled his shirt up off your waist and exposed your breasts.  
“So fucking beautiful.”  
His mouth watered at the sight. Daveed licked his lips and leaned toward those beauties.
“Can I?”  Daveed paused.
“Please!” You whispered.  
He leaned down. His mouth got so close that you could feel his hot breath. Then he paused again.
“Please what?”
At first you could not think of what he was talking about. Then you got it.
“Please. Sir.”  
Your eyes sparkled under your lashes as you looked down. His dick got even harder.
“Such a Good Girl for me Linden. Fuck.”  
Damn, he had the key to your pussy.
Your wetness was leaking down your thigh, now reaching the tips of Daveed’s fingers.
Daveed proceeded to alternate his attention to each breast. Delicately at first, he kissed your nipples, then suckled them gently, then harder, more insistently, until his mouth was pulling at them rhythmically and firmly, to the point of almost hurting you.
You were groaning pretty loudly and Daveed released a nipple from his tightly clamped lips with an almost painful pop.
“Suck this,” he said, and put his thumb in your mouth, pushing your head back into the mirror. 
While still suckling you, he then moved his other hand down your body to your crotch and stuck his hand into the jean shorts, his long fingers grazing your folds, feeling a small patch of hair and your oh so slick lower lips. 
He looked up at you and how you were enthusiastically sucking his thumb, fellating it like it could cum down your throat.  That sight and feeling, combined with how you felt at your core, was fucking him up.
“Damn, Lindy? All this. For me? You sure?”
You nodded vigorously, his thumb deep in your mouth as he kept you pressed to the mirror. He found your clit and started rubbing, while inserting a finger into you. 
You were so fucking tight, it was a stretch to fit two in, but you were humming with pleasure now, your eyes rolling back in your head.
You nodded again, and as he pried your mouth open, your sounds became louder before he put his mouth on yours and kissed you, muffling your moans as his thumb and fingers worked in concert to bring you close to the edge. 
You tried to reach for his belt buckle again and he moved out of the way.
“Unh unh, it’s not about me right now.” 
Daveed grunted. He spun you around and had you face the mirror, his hand in your mouth and your pants, and his cock pressed into your ass.
It was big and your eyes matched it. You two stared at each other.
“Look at us.  Don’t we look good together? This should be a thing.”  
You watched what he was doing to you and it did look hot as fuck.
He pressed deeper into you through your pants.  He could feel you quiver on his fingers. 
“You want it Lindy?”
Daveed could feel your clit harden and vibrate like a guitar string.
“Maybe later, but you could cum
 not now
” 
You whimpered around his thumb, but he sped up.  
“Not now
”
You were almost crying now. Daveed was smiling, his teeth bared against the shell of your ear, whispering his commands to you.
“NNNNot now
.” 
Your legs were shaking from holding it.
“Good girl. Now cum.”  
Daveed spoke into your ear and you exploded from the inside out. It had been months since anyone else made you cum.
He reached down and grabbed you under your knees and sat down with you on the fitting room bench. You were draped around him like a vine, exhausted.
D held you for a few, taking care of you and waiting for his hard on to go down. You clung to him, eyes closed, trying not to panic. This was good. You wanted this.  And you told him so.
“Me too, Lindy.”  
He helped you stand and stood himself, standing behind you and watching you straighten yourself out in the mirror.  He pulled you back against him, wrapping his arms around your front and putting his chin next to your forehead.
“I meant what I said, Linden.  We look good together.  Let this be a thing.”  
You just smiled at him as you thought about the weekend to come.

𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒚 𝒌𝒊𝒅𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 𝒔/𝒐 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆
a/n: i realised half way through this that each one is basically an imagine (€ïčÂ€) but enjoy! also this is my first time posting my writes!
bang chan
first,,,, i feel like chan would kiss you in a really cute, romantic way
idk maybe i’m wrong but like i get this romantic vibe about chan that could only come out with his s/o
i also feel like he would kiss you around like the second or third date??
cuz he would want to be sure that’s what his s/o wants
you and chan had finished eating your dinner you had made and were cuddling while watching frozen (i think he would love to watch disney movies w his s/o,, just sayin)
the scene with hans and anna dancing and singing ‘love is an open door’ came on and he jumped off the couch and held his hand out to you for you to take 
you looked at him with wide eyes 
“seriously?” you said giggling 
he nodded grabbing your hand and pulling you up 
you laughed as he wrapped his arms around your waist dancing around the room 
the song came to an end and your laughter settled when he pulled you closer,, and looked down at your lips 
you bit down on your lip letting air escape your mouth but before you knew it, he caught your breath and his lips were on yours 
minho
depending on the mood, minho can be a 100% goof
so when it comes to kissing you, it will probably be quick and sloppy because he’ll be making you laugh or ïżŒthe other way around
you and minho were sitting on you phones playing kart rider waiting for hyunjin to finish his vlive so you all could get something to eat
you had finished your last round but you saw minho was still invested in the game so you bumped his arm making it fall out of his hand
“yahhh, i was winning!” he whined
you crossed your arms pouting, “yea well your not paying attention to me!”
you saw a smirk form on his lips out of the corner of your eye
“NO-” you knew you were in for it 
before you could even finish he launched into kissing ur face everywhere until he stopped right in front of your lips
you were recovering from sudden affection but you were forced to stop when he smashed his lips onto yours
but only for a sec
“is that enough affection for you?” he said grinning,,,
changbin
 for binnie he would kiss you fairly quickly after you he confessed to you but being the busy boy he is, it would be maybe a week or 2
lately, he had been very busy writing lyrics for new songs that you both haven’t had a lot of time together
he was working on his music in the studio when you peeked your head through the door
his eyes were drooping and his head rested on the palm of his hand slowly beginning to drift off 
as you gently knocked on the door gently his head quickly turned to see you
he smiled twisting the chair around motioning to come sit on his lap
you sat down pushing his hair out of his face and smiling
he wrapped both arms around your waist bringing you close enough to feel his breath fan across your lips
“you’re tired babe,,, you should go to bed” you said breaking the silence
he smiled at your words and looked down at your lips and then looked up to your eyes for confirmation
you could barely smile before his lips softly pressed against yours and you could feel him smile in the slightest way 
hyunjin
for jinnie he would kiss you probably on the first proper date you would have 
i see him taking you to a cute coffee shop and buying you an iced coffee and you both sharing a croissant because we know hyunjin and aesthetics 
anyway
you both finished the croissant that you shared and he took your hand in his as you walked the streets of Seoul laughing and talking
“no hyunjin, it wasn’t me who said it, it was jisung!” you said giggling
“yea sureee” he said leaning down to take a sip of your coffee 
you turned your head in shock
“yah!”
before you could could say anything he yanked your hand so that you stopped and were facing him
he was grinning before he leaned down pulling you closer as he pressed his curled lips against yours
he pulled away grinning “yea, it was definitely you who said it.”
you were too surprised to say anything as your cheeks turned pink so you just turned and started walking as he started to swing your hands
jisung 
jisung is so passionate in everything and kissing would be no different 
his first kiss with his s/o would 100% be intense
you and jisung were on a mini date at the arcade while the rest of the boys went to eat dinner,,,
“yah, you’re cheating! you can’t do that!” you whined
“what are you talking about, i’m playing the game?” he said nonchalantly as he took own of your basketballs 
“you’re taking my basketballs and using them for your game, how is that ‘no cheating?’” you asked sarcastically
you heard the timer buzz on the game as he turned to look at you with a cheeky smile 
“if you woulda just went along with it instead of yelling at me you would’ve won,” he stated 
you rolled your eyes turning away from him 
he reached out to grab your hand pulling your body flush with his
your cheeks immediately were dusted pink 
“what can i do to make it up to, huh?” he said locking your eyes with his 
his soft lips were on yours before you could say anything 
you pulled away quickly 
“jisung, there are people everywhere”, you whispered
he answered you by kissing you harder,, leaving you speechless 
felix
for felix, i think he would think a lot about how and when his first kiss with you would be 
but we’re talking about lee felix so that plan would probably go right down the drain sjsksjk 
you had both decided to make vanilla cake just because you we bored 
you blasted the music through while you baked as you sang and danced making eachother laugh hysterically 
as you were pouring mix in the mixer, felix turned the mixer on high making the powder go everywhere
“FELIX WHY DID YOU DO THAT?” you laughed wiping the powder from your face
“i didn’t think it would go everywhere!” he said laughing 
he grabbed a towel and gently started wiping your face
your laughter had settled when you noticed how close you guys were 
at some point you had backed up into the counter
you were trapped with felix only a few inches away from your face 
he stepped a little closer, forcing you to look up at him 
before you had time to think he leaned in pressing his lips against yours 
he pulled away looking down 
you smiled brightly and leaned over to grab some powder from the bowl and flicked it as his face 
but before you squirm out of his arms he grabbed your waist pulling you in for a longer, deeper kiss
sorry his was longer,, what do you expect,,, hes my bias sjksjskjs
seungmin
our puppy uwu
i feel like he would kinda just let it happen when it happened
seungmin knew english very well and since you were still in the process of learning korean he decided to help you since it was his day off
“no, no, y/n, it’s not like ‘n’, it’s like ‘ng’” he said 
“ahh ok, i got it,” you said looking back at your notebook 
“no, say it, i’ll see if you got it” he said, laughing
“agh, fine,” you said rolling your eyes 
“ng, ng, ng” you emphasised 
“yes! that was perfect,” he said 
he squished your cheeks making your lips pucker 
“you’re so cute!” he smiled leaning in to peck your lips 
after he kissed you he quickly leaned back removing his hands from your face
he laughed nervously scratching the back of his neck
you saw his reaction and grabbed his hands 
he looked you in the eyes and you quickly pecked his lips 
you pulled back blushing like crazy 
he smiled brightly pulling out the flashcards
this is really just a bunch little pecks but what do you expect from our puppy uwu
jeongin
lastly our baby jeongin,,,,,äșș≧≊/ 
i feel like jeongin would kinda just let it happen when it happened like seungmin 
i also feel like he would wait to kiss you until you were a little more comfortable in the relationship
like hyunjin, he would kiss you on a date
he had set up a picnic for you both at a park near your house 
you were both young and innocent so a lot of the dates you went on were cliche which the rest of the boys made fun of him for but he loved it 
you ate and laughed enjoying every moment you had together
you leaned back on your back looking up at the clouds
he laid down next to you grabbing your hand turning his head to look at you
after awhile he leaned up on hand looking down 
“where’s one place you’ve always wanted to go?” he questioned
you turned your head to look at him 
you wanted to question why he was asking that but you just decided to answer
“honestly there’s really no specific place but i’ve always wanted go to venice, italy; everything there is absolutely beautiful: the building are colorful, there’s water taxis that take you through the whole town, and most importantly... the pizza” you said giggling 
he looked at you with amazement as he quickly leaned down pressing his lips to yours 
“can i be there?” he asks
“of course, i wouldn’t go without you”
i’m tagging @kesmonsterwrites because she inspired me to start writing! hopefully you like it! (╯3╰)

FIFTH HARMONY EXPOSED
Isn’t this the type of headline that intrigues people? Well, here I will expose some myths that the so-called Exposing accounts go on exposing. Just declaring something here in the beginning: I love all my Fifth Harmony girls, OT5 that is, and read it at your discretion. The thoughts stated below are opinions of mine, gathered over months and years, and I firmly stand by them.
Cutting to the chase, here we go:
1)      Fifth Harmony the Band Image:
This group was manufactured by Simon Cowell on the X-Factor, back in 2012, and it broke up in 2018. On the show, Lauren Jauregui, the green-eyed white Latina was given the majority of solos and they performed songs in Spanish and garnered Hispanic fans banking on the fact that there were three Latinas in the group.
After they signed to Syco/Epic when the show ended, we saw Camila Cabello, the more convincing Latina, who was born in Cuba, get more and more solos. Normani Kordei was promoted as the “dancer” of the group, Ally Brooke as the “unproblematic one”, Lauren as the “broody edgy girl” and Dinah Jane as the “relatable Polynesian”.
Not surprisingly, Camila was the first one to do a solo venture with Shawn Mendes, the song I Know What You Did Last Summer, which, according to me, was a song to test the waters for both Shawn and Camila.
As more time passes, Camila was portrayed like the lead, not by HERSELF, but the trademark that Fifth Harmony was. She stopped talking in interviews, started doing more and more solo stuff, and even signed to a different manager. Voila, we were getting the rift in-band vibes galore.
Now here’s my verdict:
Fifth Harmony was made by Simon to not get the next One Direction, but to get the next Taylor Swift. Little Mix was already there in the U.K, and people know Girl groups don’t do as well as Boy Bands, mostly because of the inherent Misogyny in the society.
They wanted the next relatable girl next door who could influence teenage girls.  Camila being Latina, could now have an even larger fanbase, in Latin America as well as South Asia, because South Asian music is quite similar in a groove to Latin Music.
Why Not Lauren or Ally then?  Well, they were simply not interesting or Latin enough.
Why Not Normani? Do I have to tell? Those bitches are racist as fuck.
Why Not Dinah? Same thing. Less Appeal to a large fanbase.
That’s why Camila was the goofy dorky most relatable person on 5H. That’s why she readily had a high budget tour all set up for her the moment she left the group. That’s why they promoted her. 5H was never the long-lasting plan. Camila was. 5H was just an excuse to get her a strong fanbase and give Epic 4 more mediocre artists. I am really happy that Normani proved her worthiness and released smash hits as well. And mind you, this was done without Camila herself wishing for it. It was just the label’s decision.
 2)      Camila- the beauty or the bitch?
Camila Cabello is a very intriguing person to me. At the first glance, you haven’t seen a more dorky, goofy, and relatable celebrity like her, eating bananas and tripping on air. But then she starts talking about profound and deep experiences, and you go on her Tumblr and find quotes from books and aesthetic pictures. But then you see her leaked text messages and old Tumblr and all those images crumble before your eyes.
Think about this. Among the 5H girls, Dinah, Lauren, Ally, and Normani have friends outside the industry whom they talk to and hang out with. They have family they post about. Camila? She seems to have no friends apart from Sandra and Marielle Guzman, and those are the people we got the leaked texts with. What about her school teachers and school friends? Nothing.  All she hangs out with is Shawn Mendes and Taylor Swift and her mom who follows her like a hawk. She doesn’t seem to have a social life at all except for events she goes for business.
In my opinion, Camila has a pretty big secret that is guarded closely by everybody but her.
Is she racist? Yes. She was. She didn’t have any sensitivity to Black people or their struggles whatsoever. But you have to understand she is Hispanic, and not born in the U.S. And she has sort of always been a big mouth. I am from a country that doesn’t have a single black person in the near 30000 miles. We grow up using racial slurs as if it's nothing. I had to unlearn my indoctrinations and consciously undo the wrongs in my head and implement them in my actions. Bit it doesn’t undo things I said as a child. I bullied one friend of mine in middle school simply because her skin tone was darker than mine. But I was not canceled. Because I am not a celebrity. Have I learned? Yes definitely. I will never dare to act like that again because now I understand the pain of being ostracized and I recognize the struggles of black people. But that happened over time.
I feel like Camila is a changed person now, and tries very hard to educate herself. She is not perfect, but she doesn’t deserve so much hate. She deserves a second chance.  If she was indeed like that, Normani wouldn’t post a photo with her in IT on the eighth anniversary of 5H.
As far as her being a jealous bitch goes. The rest of 5H always had good things to talk about her after 5H dissolved in 2018. Lauren, the activist, even praised her. Dinah still seems pretty close to her.
Did she do solo stuff without 5H knowing?
No. If she did, and the whole not attending meetings thing happened, Dinah wouldn’t go to her Bad Things concert one day before she left the band. Lauren wouldn’t laugh with her in the VMAs like that if they weren’t friends and just work colleagues. The whole 5H vs Camila feud was planned by management because apparently shade helps sales. For both parties. Another manipulative misogynistic example of society.
 3)      Are/ Were Camila and Lauren romantically together?
All the roads lead to Rome honey. Camren has too many coincidences to NOT be real. From song lyrics to shady potato photos to weird comments and body language in interviews, I am pretty sure the Camren blogs will keep you covered.
Why does Lauren hate it so much? Why are we being invasive?
Lauren is supposed to nix it every time because she is contractually bound to do so. She needs to be the one to keep Camila’s straight image intact, although we have more than tons of evidence that Camila is anything but straight.
To everyone who says we shouldn’t force sexuality on people. Heterosexuality is not the default. Don’t force straightness on her. She never said she was straight. We’re just speculating she is with Lauren, and that’s it. Lauren just happens to be a girl. That’s IT.
Why did the nosy shippers out Lauren?
Nobody did. They just speculated on her sexuality based on assumptions. But no fan posted photos of her and Lucy from her aunt’s Facebook, because it was password protected. It was most probably intentional. Note that she shot a coming-out photoshoot with her “ex-girlfriend” Lucy Vives even before the Wedding where she was supposedly outed. Why shoot a photoshoot TO COME OUT and then hide behind the closet? Her coming out was planned as early as 2015, and so was the bearding of Camila simultaneously.
To me, Lauren and Camila are contracts bound to lie, at this moment. But they have a very grown-up and well-communicated relationship that is very sacred and private, and only the two of them know everything about it. Lauren and Camila are still related to the same contract, and this intuition of mine was confirmed yesterday. She was shooting something for Roger gold’s label. I hope the best for both of them, and I would love it if they were together. But them going public would be huge and in my opinion, detrimental to them.
4)      Who’s Shawn Mendes?
A really career-oriented artist. Shawmila is for him and his promotion only. Not his fault though. He is just a conceited boy with good guitar skills who wants to be extremely famous. I will not talk about his sexuality, because unlike Camila, I can’t trace him to anyone in particular.  But I can say this, Camila’s solo career had plans for Shawmila since the very start. I also believe it will end like Jelena and be back and forth for some time for minor promotions.
 Final Verdict:
Nobody is perfect. Don’t make this about Shawmila Vs Camren. Every artist has their struggles. But please break out of the shell of heteronormativity, misogyny, and racism. Love human beings. The 5H girls and Shawn Mendes are teenagers, now adults, who have been oppressed and manipulated by a capitalistic racist homophobic industry, for money and money only. And only the fans have the power to see the truth and choose the right stuff.
