The One in the Olympic Villa - full fic here
Cheering and applause filled the arena, all for him. Regulus' reputation remained intact as an undefeated champion. He politely congratulated his opponent before heading to his changing room.
He never grew tired of that feelingâwinning. He didnât care for the attention, even though he knew he had several eyes on him, including his family's. Regulus Black could always perform under pressure, even today, with a pair of honey eyes behind glasses that had promised to be there.
Regulus returned to the dressing room and quickly changed, glancing back at the mirror before leaving. He assured himself that there was no other motive for his desire to look presentable.
The first person he saw after his match was Evan. He congratulated him, he had no mercy on his commentary over the match and assured Regulus there was no actual competition. He tried to pay attention to his friendâs compliments but he kept searching the bleachers trying to find the tall athlete with the atrocious hair.
âHe left early,â Evan said, and Regulus turned his head to face him, trying to appear unbothered. âHe got a text and bailed. Sorry.â
âA man with horrible taste if he isnât capable of watching a single fencing match. Itâs fine.â He pressed his lips together, grabbed the rest of his stuff, and walked toward the villa.
Halfway to their room, Evan got a text that made him smile.
âWho the fuck is getting that reaction out of you?â
âCrouch,â he mumbled while quickly typing a response.
âI canât believe youâre still fucking him.â
âReg, Iâve been telling you, thereâs no better way to blow off steam than fucking someone you really, really dislike.â Evan seemed to be on a campaign to get Regulus laid more, a campaign with no other supporters.
Honestly, it wasnât a lack of desire, but Regulus had a criteria for suitors to meet. They rarely did. Potter seemed like a good enough candidate for some fun; what a waste that he was all talk and no action.
He parted ways with Evan and decided to spend the rest of his day watching the tape from todayâs match and prepping for his next one.
When Evan returned, he had a box of chocolates and a card in hand. Regulus blinked, confused, as his friend extended them towards him.
âHow does fucking Barty result in me getting this attention from you?â
âTheyâre from James, actually.â Regulusâ amused expression shifted to annoyance.
âI donât care what he has to say,â Regulus grumbled.
âWhatever, Iâm just the messenger. But if youâre that pissed at him, you should try my method out.â
âI wonât reward Potter by fucking him.â
Evanâs approach was not for him. James Potter could go fuck himself.Â

Pairing: joel miller x fem!reader
Summary: the summer before you graduated college, Joel Miller became a regular at the bar you worked. he was perfect except one small problemâŠyou already have a boyfriend
Warning: 21+ (drinking), fluff, slight age gap (reader is in her early 20s and Joel is 30) smut, oral (f receiving) p in v, slight body worshipping, porn with plot
Word count: 5.2k
A/N: i did it! i finally wrote a fic to live up to my blog name! iâm so proud of this one yâall like omgâŠi love it, itâs so perfect. such a cute lil fluffy smut (â§âĄâŠ) ⥠also still canât get over the fact that people like my little hobby, so thank you for all the love! it only encourages me to write more. speaking of which, i have so many stories for the summer coming up, especially with tom blyth coming back as billy. i already have a few stories started so hopefully they will be out sooner rather then later. ok thatâs it i have nothing more to say. enjoy âŁïž
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
It was your last summer before graduating college and being home made you want to cherish your last year even more. You were looking forward to it and ready to be done bartending so you could see your friends and have some real fun. Sure, this job made you a ton of cash, but being home was nothing in comparison to being with your college friends in a town totally catered to you and your fellow students. Although your hometown had its perks. At least it used to. Your longtime boyfriend had never left your hometown or went to college. He had instead opted for going into a trade and becoming an electrician.
Your relationship was strong at first, but every semester it became harder and harder to navigate. Time after time you had convinced yourself that he was still your best friend, but meeting new people in college and getting to experience the joys of youth on your own for the first time, had given you a lot of perspective. So every birthday, holiday, and summer, you felt like you were coming home to a completely different man. Yet you stayed with him because you really wanted to make it work and you told yourself you loved him. Yet something unexpected had happened. One evening at work, a group of men came in to watch the Rangers game. Thatâs when you first met him and thatâs the night Joel Miller would become a regular at your bar.
He was clearly older, at least thirty, but you couldnât help but practically gawk at him all night. And you couldnât help but think that Joel was eyeing you too. But you felt a wave of guilt overcome you. You knew you shouldnât feel like this. You knew you shouldnât be staring down another man like that but you couldnât help it. But his arms looked so strong, like he could carry you effortlessly. You couldnât help the way you smiled every time he would share a boisterous laugh with his friends. His own sweet smile drew you in and you noticed he had the cutest cheek nimble on top of it. From his big chiseled nose to his perfectly crafted jawline, he was an absolute Adonis. Just then another wave of guilt washed over you and you tried to shake away your feelings of disloyalty as you walked into the kitchen, putting their food order in.
As you walked out of the kitchen and brought them their next set of drinks, you tried not to look at him so much but itâs hard not to. Then he spoke up.
âHey darling? Could I get some more napkins when you get the chance?â
âYeah sure!â You scurried off and came back immediately
He smiled at you as he thanked you which made your heart flutter. As you made your way back to the kitchen, another server catches up to you.
âWhoâs the handsome cowboy at 13?â She asked
âOhâ you started âIâm not sure. Are you talking about the man in the white shirt?â You lied acting like she was talking about someone else
âGirl, donât play. I can see him undressing you right nowâ
You glanced over, and caught him smiling at you while he sipped his beer. You started to smile back, when the guilt hit you again and you turned back to your co-worker.
âOhâŠyeahâŠh-he is handsome yeahâŠbut not like Iâm interested.â You lied again
âOkaaay whatever you sayâŠâ she said unconvinced, rushing off to her table
Joel and his buddies left around 9 and you noticed that Joel leaves the biggest tip out of everyone. Around 10 oâ clock you clocked out and headed to your boyfriendâs house where you had planned on spending the night. Once you arrived, you walked straight into his room where he was playing some PC game. His back was towards you and he didnât notice you at first with his big headset on. You hugged him from behind and kissed his cheek. He startled and you jumped back.
âWoah! Hey! Your homeâ he remarked, clutching his chest, barely glancing at you âJesus you scared me.â
âClearlyâ you giggled
âGod donât sneak up on me like that. Could have cost me the gameâ he sighed, as he returned his full attention to the screen.
âWhat ya playing?
âCODâ he remarked dryly
âAre you gonna be finishing soon?â You inquired
âAhh probably not. I figured youâd be too tired to hang after your shift so I told the boys Iâd be on tonight.â
âI thought you said we would watch a movie after work tonight?â
âOh yeah, I mean I donât know I just kinda figured youâd want to go to bed when you got home. Plus you fall asleep to every movie we watch togetherâ
âYeahâ you sighed in disappointment, wanting to follow it up with âbut thatâs not the point.â You knew heâd get upset at you for pulling him away from his game. âI just want to cuddle you.â
âOk ok I got ya. Iâll be in bed soon, ok.â He said halfhearted, still not looking at you.
You changed into a pair of sweat shorts and an old shirt and got ready for bed. As you climb into bed you want to cry. And you questioned your guilt from tonight. Maybe it was because it had been a while since a man seemingly flirted with you that made you realize just how lousy your boyfriend has become. When was the last time he genuinely made you feel special? You fell asleep, but were woken up by small kisses on your neck, but your boyfriend began to move more aggressively, trusting and grinning his crotch against your ass. At that point youâre too tired for sex, and all you wanted was for him to hold you and care for you.
âMmm babe Iâm really tiredâ you whined
âI thought you wanted attention?â He asked, continuing his actions. You pushed away slightly but he continued, only pulling you closer against his chest.
âI do, just not like this. Not right now ok? I just want to sleep.â
He sighed, turning over
âSee this is why I donât want to do a movie with you. I knew you would be too tired.â
âThatâs notâŠâ you wanted to finish your sentence again and say âthatâs not fairâ but once again that would probably upset him and now he was annoyed with you so you donât want to push it. âI just want to sleep now ok.â
âOk. Itâs fine. Goodnight.â He huffed, falling asleep.
The next couple of shifts your mind is preoccupied by your newfound feelings about your relationship. Your boyfriend wasnât abusive by any means, but it was clear the relationship wasnât healthy anymore. Thatâs when the crying at work started. Mainly because you had just come from his house before each shift and every interaction with him pained you. The only thing that kept you from continuously calling off was Joel. Almost every shift around 5 oâclock he would come in, order a few beers, maybe something to eat, and chat it up with you.
By the third week, all your co-workers were teasing you about him. Whenever his truck would pull up in the parking lot, someone would come get you.
âYour cowboy is here!â Someone yelled out to you, stepping out of the kitchen. You left the servers station to greet him.
âHey Joel! Mich Ultra? You asked
âYou know it darling. How youâve been?â He smiled, causing you to practically melt into a puddle. You gathered yourself and smiled back at him.
âAbout the same as the last time you saw me.â
âAnd still as beautiful as ever.â He winked
âYou flatter me Mr. Miller. I bet Mrs. Miller is one special lady hmm?â You asked more or less trying to see if he was actually flirting with you or just being nice.
âShe would if there was one.â
âOh I thought you said you have a daughter?â You questioned more
âAnd a man canât be a single dad in this world? How sexist of youâ he chuckled sarcastically
You rolled your eyes at him and laughed along.
âI just thought such a handsome cowboy as yourself would have a beautiful gal to go home to.â
âI wishâŠâ he sighed, eyes giving you a once over
âSo where is she then? Your daughter? If not with her mom. You know we allowed kids in before 9 right?â
âYeah, she just has soccer practice at this time three days a week. I figured why not wait for her to be done and come see you since Iâm out and about.â He explained
âAinât you just a charmer.â Iâll get you that beer.â
You walk over to behind the bar and fetch Joel his beer.
âHeâs just all over youâ one of the bartenders remarked
âAnd he tips well too.â
âGee I wonder whyâ they smirked, giving you a look âhow does your boyfriend feel about him?â
âI mean heâs just a customer. They flirt all the time and who doesnât like the extra cash?â You started quickly
âMhmm sureâ they said
You walk back to him, bringing him his beer and continuing to chat with him. He ordered another beer then left to go pick up his daughter Sarah.
Now every time at work shift, it felt like an escape. It also felt like a fantastic secret that only you knew about. A fantasy being played out in real life. Joel was so charming.
Even though he was older, his youthful demeanor shone through. He was caring too. If he wasnât asking about you and your life, he was talking about his daughter. You could tell she was his world. He absolutely adored her, and you loved to listen to him go on and on about her. You didnât quite care what your co-workers would say or how your boss didnât like that you hovered around his table, sometimes neglecting your other ones.
But he couldnât complain too much given Joel was a respectful, paying customer. And a great tipper. And he would always leave a little note on his receipt. Nothing too flirtatious, just innocent enough to toe the line. This went on for a couple more weeks, your boyfriend none the wiser. Not like he was paying much attention to you anymore. Every note, you would take them and make sure to hide them when you got home. You stored them in your sock drawer and kept them secret like everything else about him. You still felt guilty though and realize that you need to end things with your boyfriend. Itâs harder than you thought and truthfully you donât know how to leave someone youâve cared about that much. And been with for so long. But talking to Joel made you realize what you needed. And what you wanted. And you wanted him. And something told you he wanted you too.
Then back at home, living with your boyfriend it was a totally different reality. He felt so disconnected from you, so indifferent. And the more you faded away from him the less you felt like you really loved him still. And he noticed you pulling away from him. One night, you came home and had kept another one of Joelâs receipts.
âSee you Wednesday :) Joelâ
You left your server book out on his bed, along with your purse and hopped into the shower without thinking. When you got out of the shower, your boyfriend was sitting on his gamer chair, nose deep in your server book. You froze and tightened the towel around you nervously.
âOh hey babe. When did you get home? I thought you and the boys were having a boys night? â
âWe decided to just get dinner instead. Whatâs this?â He asked, holding up the receipt.
âOh, just one of my regulars. Donât worry about it.â You giggled, trying to play it cool reaching for the book. He holds it back from you and stands up.
âWhoâs Joel?â
âMy regularâ you repeated
âOh yeah. I bet he tips you well hmm? Pays you lots of attention?â He asked accusatorily.
âI-heâŠheâs just a regular we get them all the time.â
âYeah, but you said he is one of YOUR regulars. Why yours? Why is he writing you notes?â
âHe-he just always sits in my section I donât know. Thatâs not too unusualâŠand a lot of customers write thank you notes and stuff I canât control them!â You insisted, readjusting your towel again
âYou expect me to believe that?â
You scoffed and rolled your eyes.
âWhy are you acting like this?â
âWell I donât need creepy men hitting on my girl at work.â He barked back
âHeâs not creepy and youâre being ridiculous.â
âOh then what is he?â
âHeâs just a customer!â You argued even though it was a lie
From that moment on, your boyfriend had grown highly suspicious of your relationship with him and Joel. Wednesday rolled around and Joel showed up again as expected. You nervously approached him as he sat down.
âWell hey their sugarâ he smiled
âHey Joelâ you replied, only giving him a half smile
He searched your face and could tell something is up.
âYou ok?â
âYeah, just life stuff. So Mich Ultra?â
He nodded and you walked off. His eyes followed you, watching you as you went to the bar. You came back and gave him his beer. You wanted to set it down and walk away, but Joelâs concerned eyes beckoned you to say.
âThinking about food?â You asked him
âMaybe. Iâm sorry doll, I donât mean to pry but if I did anything to put you off-â
âNo Joel of course itâs not you itâs justâŠrelationship issuesâ you huff
âSorry to hear that sugar. I hope yâall can work it outâ
âI hope soâ you sigh, knowing itâs a lie.
Just then your boyfriend storms into the bar. You donât notice him at first, but then you hear a set of heavy footsteps approaching towards you and you look up. Confused, you call out his name.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âCanât visit my girl at work anymore?â He asked glancing at Joel
âExcuse me.â You mumble to Joel, walking over to him and grabbing his hand. You lead him out of the building.
âWhat are you doing?!â You shouted
âIs that him? Is that Joel?â he sneered
âWhy do you care all of a sudden hmm? Youâve barely paid attention to me in the last few months. What happened to us?â You nearly sobbed.
He sighed and shook his head
âWhat do you want from me? I mean Iâm frustrated with you too if that helps. You have completely shut yourself off, donât tell me shit! Iâm upset too! Especially that I know youâre flaunting yourself around weirdo old men.â
âStop! Thatâs it, I can't do this anymore. Iâm so scared to tell you anything because of how you act when I share your feelings. When I come home, you ignore me and frankly it seems like you only give me affection when you want to fuck me!â
He rolled his eyes and scoffed, throwing his arms up.
âOh my god! You over exaggerate everything. Is this why youâre acting like an attention seeker? Because you think I donât pamper you?â
âUnbelievable. Pampering reallyâŠyou know what Iâm not arguing with you! Iâm done! Weâre done!â You shout and storm back into the back
âDone? Really like that? Four years done like that? Fine whatever, be that way, I know you donât mean it. Iâll see you at home.â And he storms off back to his car.
You wanted to cry as you stormed back into the bar, but you held yourself together.
You tried to hide your clearly upset face as you rushed back into the kitchen and into the back alley next to the dumpsters. Joel noticed and ran out of the bar looking for you. He searched around the building then he called out to you.
âHey. Whatâs wrong.â
You canât help it. One look at him, and you ran into his arms. He embraced you, holding you tight.
âHey my little fireflyâŠwhatâs wrong?â He asked, his sweet southern drawl falling like your tears.
âI loved him Joel⊠why do people stop loving you backâŠâ you sobbed
Joel gently stroked your hair, attempting to calm you down. It didnât feel strange to be held by him. You felt safe, and comfortable in his arms, despite barely knowing him or even having any interaction with him outside of work, that moment felt right.
âI donât know darling.â Joel sighed
You eventually gathered yourself and go back inside with him. Your boss thankfully didnât notice your absence. Joel returned to his table and you returned to your other patrons. After his beer, Joel left and you didnât really get a chance to see him leave. When you went to collect his tap you saw another note this time with his phone number and it read:
âGotta go get Sarah. Call me if you need to talkâ
Your heart dropped. He had finally given you his number and at the same time you still felt guilty. Even though you had, despite what your now ex-boyfriend thinks, finally ended your relationship. And here the opportunity was. Right in front of you. You look at the receipt, take it, fold it and immediately put it in your pocket to keep it safe. You clock out at ten and are all too eager to get into your car to call Joel. Once you do, you dial the number and it rings.
âHello?â
âHe-hey Joel itâs meâŠâ you uttered
âYou ok darling?â He asked sweetly
Maybe it was his voice, the question, or the fact that the weight of the burdens of your life seemed to have fallen apart around you, but you cried again. Letting it all out and at the same time feeling better than ever.
âHey hey heyâ Joel whispered âI just put Sarah to bedâŠwhy donât you come over here? We can talk ok?â
You nodded and sobbed.
âOkâŠâ
Joel texted you his address and you put it into your GPS. Itâs only about a ten minute drive to his house and when you pulled up, you nervously exit your vehicle. You walked up the front door and knocked quietly, not wanting to wake Sarah. A moment later, it swung open and Joelâs handsome face looked at yours with deep concern.
âCome on in.â
You nodded and walked into his home. As expected itâs much nicer than your boyfriends, but then again Joel is an actual adult, with a kid, and mortgage to pay off so it was to be slightly expected. It wasnât too fancy, just your standard suburban home. You walked over to the couch and Joel followed you.
âCan I get you something to drink?â
âHonestly I need something a little strong. Got any whiskey?â
He smiled ear to ear.
âYa betcha.â And he rushed off into his kitchen.
You made yourself comfortable and tried to relax as you looked around Joelâs living room. You curiously strode over to his bookshelf and read the titles. Lots of history books, a few fiction and then you noticed the framed photo of him and his daughter. You realize youâve never seen a photo of her, but sheâs just as beautiful as you could have imagined. You smiled and Joel caught you in your curiosity.
âSheâs been my little gem since day one. Just me and her. I donât think I ever told ya, but her mom left us soâŠâ he remarked.
You looked at him, smiled and nodded.
âSheâs beautiful, Joel. Youâre a great dad.â
Joel sat the glasses of whiskey down on the shelf and reached for your hand. You gasp slightly, look at where heâs touched you and then look up into his eyes. He tucked a piece of your hair behind your ear.
âYou asked me why people stop loving people back and ya know, I still donât have a good answer for that. I guess itâs because Iâve been asking myself the same thing for the last twelve years.â
âJoelâŠyouâre such a good manâŠâ you sighed, squeezing his hand.
âYouâre too kind darling.â He smiled
âNo really.â
You stared at him for a moment. His eyes searched your own looking for what he suspected you wanted from him. He cupped your face and he leaned in to kiss you. His lips fit perfectly against yours, like he was made for you. It was perfect and passionate. He was so gentle, yet you could feel how badly he had wanted this moment with you. He pulled back for a moment to make sure he hadnât crossed the line.
âGot a bedroom?â You smirked
Before you knew it, Joel was crawling on top of you and you took off your shirt. At the same time he was busy frantically kissing your neck and jaw. He tossed it off and Joel took a moment to admire your chest. He gasped and reached to grope your breasts. Your soft, perky mounds fit perfectly in his hand and he began to massage you. He was in utter awe of you. Almost overwhelmed that he was getting to have you like this. You stared back up at him, equally in awe at that moment.
His big brown eyes melted your heart and all your troubles melted too. Fuck your lousy ex. All you wanted and needed was Joel. He kissed you again as he continued to play with your breasts. You let out a few giggles that turned into harsh, sharp moans as he moved his mouth down your body.
âFuckâŠâ you whispered, the word dancing around the room.
As his lips trailed you, your body reacted, your hips bucked and you were practically squirming under him. When his mouth found your cleavage, you felt the heat in between your legs grow stronger.
He continued to kiss you, only breaking away to take off his own shirt. He was toned, his skin smooth and he was unbelievably broad. You couldnât help but admire the way his collar bone met his neckline. It was clean and sharp. You tried not to think of your ex, but in comparison he was not as fit as the gorgeous man in front of you. You placed your hands on his chest and felt his pecs, running your fingers down to his abdomen. You leaned up to kiss him again. His lips were so soft and addictive. You couldâve kissed him all night, but your desires beckoned for more. He held you up slightly and flipped you over. As he did he unhooked your bra and you let it fall off your chest. He tossed it on the ground and admired your bare chest for the first time.
âYouâre so gorgeous. â he uttered as your hair fell in front of you.
He pushed it out of the way and cupped your face. He pulled you back down to capture your mouth once again, lightly gripping the back of your neck. Your bare boobs pressed down against his chest, a feeling which you love. Skin on skin, the close intimacy and the feeling of being wanted more than just something to fuck. Thatâs how your ex had made you feel the last few months when you and him had sex, so being touched, cherished by Joel made your head spin. You werenât used to it and you could feel your body reacting to the unfamiliar sensations. Joel noticed.
âBaby, you ok?â
You blushed at the nickname, smiled and nodded.
âItâs just been some time since I felt like this.â
âWhenâs the last time he touched you?â
âI-I mean we would have sex once or twice a weekâŠâ
âWhen is the last time he really touched you though. Made you feel special?â
You simply stared at him speechless and tilted your head.
âYou know what, forget about him. Just focus on me. Let me make you feel good like you deserve.â
With that, he decided to be bold and reached for your mini skirt. He pulled it down past your hips and you lifted them up so he could pull it off you. He tossed it on the ground with your bra and his hands immediately moved to cup your ass. He squeezed the pillowy flesh as you moved your hips. You could feel him getting hard under you and you eagerly reached for his belt. His hands moved up to your waist, rocking you more. You undo his belt and he lifted up his hips to take off his pants. He slid them off along with his boxers, revealing his length. It was perfect. Just the right size, the mushroom tip red and swollen. Encouraged by his actions, you slide your panties off and you are both completely bare in front of each other.
He soaked the sight of your naked beauty in, eyes trailed over all your curves and edges. You were simply divine to him, a work of art. He runs his hands back up to your chest, briefly groping them, his eyes completely focused on your face. You grab his cock and began slowly stroking it. His mouth drops slightly as he watched you. He tilted his head back on the pillow briefly, before he looked back up to watch you. His breathing became ragged and you picked up your pace. You start to move on top of him, guiding his cock to your entrance, but he stops you.
âLet me get you wet.â He insisted, grabbing your hips and flipping you again. Immediately, he kissed down your body, worshiping you. âYouâre so perfect. If you were my girl Iâd never stop showing you how perfect you are.â He muttered in between kisses.
He kissed your inner thigh before he experimentally rubbed your clit. You gasped, your hips bucked in his face. He smirked at your reaction, loving how you responded to his touch. Taking that as a sign you wanted more, he gently kissed your slit. He gave you another one and another one until the little pecks of his lips turned into the sloppy mess of his tongue. It had been ages since a man had gone down on you like this. Your ex-never warmed you up beforehand anymore, too eager to satisfy his own desire and pleasure. Joel knew how to be a real man. His tongue and lips suck and rub at your core. He moved his head too, adding to the friction. You reached for his brown locks, desperately in need of something to hold onto. He hung onto your hips and he moved you against his face. He moaned against your core, eating you out like you were the most delicious meal of his life. He pulled back, out of breath and drunk in your juices.
âCould taste ya all day darling.â
You nodded as he inserted a finger in you, twisting it. He slowly pumped it into you, curling it up as he added another finger. He watched as your face scrunched up in pleasure. He sped his hand up, totally focused on getting you to finish.
âJoelâŠJoelâŠJoelâŠâ you chanted âGonna cumâ
He nodded and worked you a bit more until you tightened down around his digits. You came hard, the euphoria rushed through your body like a roller coaster.
âSo beautiful oh my god.â He praised, rubbing your thighs.
He crawled back up to you. He kissed you letting you taste yourself. You hadnât felt this kind of passion in a while, this intense feeling of intimacy.
âYou ready? He asked, slowly rubbing your clit again.
You nodded as he lined himself up with your slit. You felt as his cock pushed past your folds and stretched you out perfectly. You gasped and he kissed your cheek feather light. He cooed at you as he slid in, hitting the back of your cervix. You gasped, which turned into a raspy moan that floated from your lips. Joel cupped your face, stroking his thumb across your cheek. You two shared in the silence of your pleasure for a moment, taking in how good the other felt. He moved, slow at first then he sped up. He felt so full inside you, and you lost yourself in the sensation of his length. You could have stayed like that all night, the steady motion of his cock pumping into you was pure bliss.
âDoes that feel good?â Joel inquired lovingly
âYes, please Joel I want more. I need more of you.â
Per your request, he gave you more, slightly giving into his own desires to want to ravish you. But given itâs your first time with him, Joel didnât want a sloppy, lustful encounter. Yet, he picked up his speed, his length now hitting the back of your walls at an almost brutal pace. Joel makes sure to keep checking in on you to make sure youâre okay or that it doesnât hurt too much. You panted and panted as he continued, gripping onto his waist with your legs, pushing him deeper into you. He moved a bit more then flipped over. You smiled at him, slightly out of breath.
âI want to see that beautiful body riding me. Is that ok?â
You nod enthusiastically, slowly starting to move your hips. Joelâs hands groped your ass, rocking you on him more. He sat up, pressed his lips firmly against yours and held you tight. You started to bounce on him which elicited a guttural moan from his lips. He moved his hand to your hips, looking up at you in awe.
How could anyone not treat you like the absolute treasure you are?
Joel thought and wondered to himself as he held you. He couldnât believe that your ex-boyfriend would neglect you. What a foolish man, but now he had you. In the exact moment he had imagined. He had you. He moved his hips in sync with yours. You steadied yourself on his shoulders, ecstasy, providing you escape. Your breath hitched as you feel his cock stiffen more inside you. He was close. You didnât want it to end but then again you had a feeling this wouldnât be your last encounter with Joel. A few last rocks of your hips and he was spent. He pulled you off him abruptly as he shot his load onto his stomach. You caught your breath, resting your forehead against his. You held his jaw in your hands, settling your hips.
âJoelâŠâ you whispered, the words ghosting over your lips.
âYes darling..â he whispered back
âY-you have no idea how much I wanted you like this.â
âI know. Me too, but not just like this. I want you. All of you. Can I please have it?â He nearly begged
Your enthusiasm took over you and you planted a spontaneous kiss on his lips.
âYes JoelâŠyou can have all of me.â

Over-Time
CEO!Miguel x Shy/Clumsy!Reader!
Warning: MINORS DNI, eventual smut, slow-burn, mentions of sex, bullying, cussing
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dear, (Y/N), you have been selected to join us for a group interview at Alchemax. Please arrive at appointed date and time below. Read and follow all instructions to ensure your interview. We can't wait to meet you."
Unable to fathom what you had just read, a loud gasp escaped your lips instead. All you really read was interview. Everything else blurred out since you were so excited to finally have a chance to leave your current job.
"Oh my gosh! Do I even have the proper clothes for an interview there?! I can't believe it!" You whispered, resisting a squeal.
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Alcehmax was one of the biggest companies in Nueva York. Everyone in their right mind wanted to get even a chance to work there. Hell, some people were happy just being a janitor there.
It was all anyone wanted to gloat about. Getting an interview was nearly impossible and yet, your clumsy ass managed to get it. You had prayed to every God you could think of. The questionnaire was a nightmare and where people failed the most.
"Okay, okay! I have to prepare...I have to practice..." You told yourself.
Interviews were hard for you. You were nervous around new people and freaked out when asked hard questions. Glancing at yourself in the mirror, you just smiled. You got this far. You had an interview to take and succeed in.
---------
"Lyla, have we found anyone decent enough within the last two group interviews?" Miguel asked with a grumble.
Lyla, Miguel's private assistant, just laughed. She took off her designer glasses and placed them on Miguel's desk. Miguel was the CEO of Alchemax. One of the richest men in all of Nueva York, and a man with a quick temper.
"We have some potential candidates for the open slot in Marketing, but no one to replace me for when I go on my vacaaaation~" Lyla sang happily. Miguel felt his eye twitch,
"Yes, I know. You haven't stopped bragging about your damn vacation all week. Would have been nice if you mentioned it sooner-"
"Oh, don't give me that, Migs. I had it pop up on your calendar every week for the past three months reminding you! It isn't my fault you don't look."
"I am a busy man. You know that because you make my schedule," Miguel hissed lowly then pinched the bridge of his nose, "Just-Ugh, I just find me someone who won't try and suck my dick within the first week."
Lyla just snickered as she typed on her tablet, "You need to find someone. Maybe it will make you less of a grump." She mocked.
Miguel exhaled loudly, glaring towards his assistant. It was a good thing that Miguel could tolerate that woman. Lyla was a close friend of his and knew how to push his buttons.
Leaning back in his seat, Miguel closed his eyes as he took the moment to rest. Lyla was going to be gone for a few months. She sure knew how to utilize her vacation time. Hell, Lyla had a tough job dealing with him. She deserved it.
"I just need someone....quiet."
---------
How could a building give off such an intimidating presence? It was as if all those powerful inside were warding off the weak and frail. The start of a challenging, yet welcoming part of your life. If you managed to do good in the interview.
Inhaling deeply, you gripped onto your folder and finally had the courage to make your way inside. You heard the stories, but Alchemax sure was a force to be reckon with. The inside of the reception floor felt like another world.
You had arrived super early. You were scared of being late and well, knowing yourself, you were probably going to get lost. Hopefully, your clumsiness won't get in the way of your interview.
"Ah-"
Magic words. Just thinking of it alone caused you to goof up. You had accidently bumped into someone while admiring the inside of the building.
"I-I'm s-so sorry!" You stuttered, panicked that you were fucking up already, "I wasn't looking! I'm sorry!"
"It's alright. Are you okay?" The man spoke as you picked up your paperwork that fell.
Tears were starting to form as you thought of running away. Glancing up at the stranger you bumped into, you sniffed and tried to compose yourself. The man before you had bend down and helped with your paperwork.
"No need to be afraid, I won't bite." The man said with a warming smile. You gulped, finding him very attrative,
"I'm sorry again."
"Oh? An interview?"
"Ah, yes. I'm a little early, but since I've never been here I wanted to make sure...I wouldn't get lost," You admited as he handed your paperwork, "Thank you. My name is (Y/N)."
"Miguel,"
You stood up, staring at the towering man before you. That name sounded familiar, but you were so focused on your goof up to remember. Everyone was probably staring at you, laughing and knowing that you were probably going to flunk the interview now.
"Come, I'll take you to the floor you're going to be at. There are drinks in the lobby once you arrive. Help yourself."
"Ah, thank you."
You were just lucky to have bumped into someone as nice as Miguel. If it were anyone else, they would have probably made you feel worse than you already do now.
---------
Miguel stayed quiet as he led you to the elevator. He won't lie that it was slightly amusing to find someone who didn't immediately recognized him. That and quite refreshing. Miguel wondered what you would think if you found out that he was the CEO.
Glancing ever so slightly in your direction, Miguel couldn't help but smile. It was like you were in your own little world. You were fumbling with your fingers while you had a slight look of panic on your face. Honestly, that was how people should look for an interview.
Alchemax was not a place to enter with confidence.
"What position are you applying for?" Miguel asked, wanting to ease your nerves.
"Oh!" You gasped lowly, "Marketing."
"Hm. How good are you with planning and scheduling?" He asked casually. Your shoulders raised slightly,
"I, um, I like to...It's easier for me when I have everything in an itinerary. Makes for unnecessary distractions and delays. I find myself at ease with a schedule," You admitted with such a carefree smile.
"And organization?"
"If I'm not overwhelmed I'm great with organizing things." You chirped, "Oh, um, will I get a lot of people talking and asking me questions if I do get hired here? I...I'm just a little shy and if I get overwhelmed I do tend to be clumsy."
Miguel resisted a chuckle, finding you quite entertaining. After another second of silence, Miguel watched as you gasped and covered your face with your folder.
How cute.
---------
How embarrassing!
Just because he was a handsome face and kind to you, doesn't mean you could get comfortable! It took you hours to practice talking to yourself in the mirror to prepare for an interview and now you were blabbing away nonsense to a stranger!
Feeling the elevator come to a stop. You gasped lowly, admiring the lobby before you.
"Here is your stop." Miguel spoke.
"Thank you," You bowed your head slightly, still embarrassed from rambling off.
As you stepped off the elevator, you gulped. Nerves started to kick in as you took your first step to a better future.
"Oh, and (Y/N)," Miguel called out, causing you to turn, "Best of luck."
"T-Thank you!"

for you i'd wait forever
pairing: bradley "rooster" bradshaw x reader
summary: bradley breaks things off with you before a deployment because he doesn't want you to worry about him (4.2k)
warnings: some swearing, bradley's commitment issues, happy ending i promise!
a/n: okay so from what i gathered from my googling is that tapping out is typically for new military graduates (i think?) but this idea was so cute so pls forgive the inaccuracies i have no idea what i'm doing at all <3 and also pls forgive me for the utter lack of writing since the beginning of the year, these last few months have been brutal (creatively and otherwise) but i am hopefully back!!! xx
Bradley thought he knew the tolls of being in the Navy. It was tough on not only him, but the people in his life. For the most part, heâd always put his career first. His life had always been on a set track, and although there were plenty of setbacks, he forged ahead until he got where he was today.Â
And then he met you. Fell in love with you. Finally knew what it meant to have someone in his corner who was just his. Who knew him for him only, not as Gooseâs kid, or Mavâs protege.
For the first time in his life, he could actually see himself spending the rest of it with you. Marriage, house, kids, grandkidsâthe whole shebang.
That was his first mistake. The more he thought about what life could look like with you, the more he thought about what your life could look like without him. What would happen if something happened to him and he didnât make it back from this next mission coming up in a few weeks.Â
He thought about his mom and how she lost his dadâher husband. The man she thought sheâd be spending the rest of her life with.Â
Bradleyâs thoughts grew quite grim after that. Countless what ifâs and thinking about every possible outcome and he eventually made up his mind. He had to break up with you.Â
He didnât want to. Not by a long shot. You were probably the best thing that ever happened to him in his thirty plus years of life. But deep down, he knew that it was the right thing to do. He was about to leave for six, seven months, with little to no contact with anyone who wasnât Navy. That would definitely take a toll on your relationship. Youâd never been through something like this before, and there really was no way to prepare you for what it would be like.Â
You would worry about him every single hour of every single day, he knew that for a fact. Bradley barely remembered what it was like when his dad was away because he was so young, but he did remember how worried his mom was all the time.
Looking back, he understood now. He didnât want that for you. The worry would hold you back from other things you wanted to do in life, things that brought you joy and gave you purpose.Â
With the mission creeping up on him faster than he wouldâve liked, he knew he had to do it sooner rather than later.Â
That was how Bradley found himself on your doorstep right now, pushing down his guilt by telling himself over and over that breaking up with you was in your best interest. He hadnât called beforehand to tell you he was coming by, so when you answered the door and beamed brighter than the stars when your eyes landed on him, he almost wanted to chicken out.Â
âHi!â You exclaimed, immediately pulling him into a warm hug. His arms closed around you out of instinct, thumb rubbing over the sliver of exposed skin at your waist, nose nudging its way against your neck the way he always did when you embraced him.Â
He inhaled the scent of the lotion you loved to use, that flowery one that sometimes made him sneeze. You always said youâd buy a different one the next time you went to the store, but you always forgot. He didnât mind it at all though. A small bout of allergies was nothing compared to the inevitable smattering of apology kisses you pressed to his face when you realized youâd forgotten.Â
Fuck, this was going to be way harder than he thought.Â
Your hands made their way up his biceps to cup his cheeks, eyes darting around his face. âWhatâre you doing here? Oh my god, did we have something planned? Iâm soââÂ
âNo.â He gave his head a shake, offering you a smile. âNo, we didnât have anything planned. I justâŠwanted to see you. To talk to you.âÂ
âCome in, come in, I was just about to start dinner,â You hummed, escaping his embrace with an arm hooked through his to tug him over the threshold. âTrying a new recipe I found the other day, not sure if itâll turn out good or end up being a shitshow, butâwell, you can help me be the judge of that, I guess!âÂ
âIs it okay if we talk first?âÂ
If you were confused, you didnât show it, just changed direction seamlessly, making your way to the couch instead of the kitchen. You sat down, patting the cushion next to you for him to settle on and he did, rubbing his clammy palms against his thighs.Â
âIs everything okay?âÂ
Everything was far from okay, he wanted to say. Instead he inhaled a deep breath before his next words.Â
âI wanted to tell you Iâm shipping out in a few weeks.âÂ
Your face fell a little, but you nodded thoughtfully. âOkay. What do we do? Is there anything you can tell me? Like, whatâs the best way to get in touch with you, whenâs the best time, that kind of stuff? Or is sending letters better? Sorry, I feel like Iâm asking a lot of questions. I donâtâIâve never really done anything like this before, soââÂ
âI think we should break up.â He blurted.Â
You hesitated before answering, blinking at him like youâd somehow heard him wrong. âWhat?âÂ
âItâs hard having someone overseas for a long time, even more so when itâs a partner. It was really hard on my mom, and hard for me having to watch her worry like that for months, and IâI donât want that for you.â He said quietly, not daring to meet your eyes until he gave his poor excuse for an explanation on why he was doing the one thing he swore he wouldnât do to you.Â
The moment heâd realized heâd fallen in love with you, heâd promised himself he would never abandon you, never break your heart or your trust, and here he was, doing that exact thing. It was tearing him apart inside.Â
âI donât want you to have to go through all that, so itâs just better if weâthat we break up now. Before I go.âÂ
âWhat are you doing?âÂ
âIâm sorry. Itâs for the best.âÂ
âWhy are you doing this?â Your voice broke just after the last word, swallowed up by a hitched inhale of a breath that had his resolve wavering just the slightest bit. He could barely look you in the eyes the whole time, and nowâŠhe didnât think he could stand the sadness and hurt flooding every single one of your beautiful features.Â
âAll the worrying and the uncertainty of not knowing whatâs happening, I donâtâit wouldnât be fair to you. I care about you too much to put you through all of that.âÂ
You were silent for the longest time, eyes glued to the floor as you processed the information. He thought you were about to start crying with the way your brow creased, but when you finally looked back up at him, your gaze had hardened. âDid these last six months mean nothing to you? Youâre just gonna throw everything away because whatâyou donât think I can handle it?âÂ
They meant everything to me, he wanted to say. You mean everything to me.Â
If he was really being honest with himself, it was him who couldnât handle it. Still, he forged on, thinking it best to just rip off the bandaid. He could live with being the asshole if it meant sparing you from the terrible experience of him being god knows how many miles away for months.Â
âIâm sorry. I wish you nothing but happiness, Y/N. You deserve better than anything I could ever give you.âÂ
âYou wish me nothing but happiness?â You chuckled humorlessly, shaking your head. Bradleyâs eyes tracked you across the room as you paced back and forth, guilt ridden expression on full display. All he wanted to do was take all of it back; to kiss you senseless and tell you everything was going to work out, but he couldnât. Heâd burned the bridge, cut the rope. Broke your heart. He felt like the biggest asshole in the world. He probably was. âScrew you, Bradley. I mean it.â
âIâm sorry.â He repeated, for what seemed like the hundredth time. It was all he could say.Â
âGet the fuck out of my house.âÂ
âY/N, IââÂ
You rushed at him, pushing, shoving, sending him stumbling step by step towards the front door until he almost crashed into it had he not managed to pull it open a split second before you shoved him outside. Heâd never forget the look of betrayal in your eyes right before you slammed the door in his face.Â
Bradley forced his feet to take him back to his car, then to drive away before he could have a chance to even try and make things better. Heâd most likely end up making things much, much worse. Though he didnât think it could get any worse with the way he was feeling about himself right now. You were angry at him, and you had every right to be.Â
But had he lingered at your door only moments after, he wouldâve heard the thump against the wood that was you sliding down to the floor and the sob that escaped your mouth.Â
All because of him.Â
-------
Bradley was happy to finally be coming back home after ages away, but then he realized itâhe didnât have anyone to tap him out this time. His mind jumped to you first, but there was no chance in hell youâd be there for him. Youâd probably moved on months ago. Forgotten about him. And with Mav away on another deployment, he really had no one.Â
His chest ached the longer he stood at attention, jaw clenched tighter than he meant it to be as he watched the rest of his squad get tapped out by their loved ones. Coyoteâs parents, Fanboyâs sisters, Hangmanâs nieces and nephews, Phoenixâs girlfriend. They were all emotional reunions, and Bradley was happy for them, he really was. But it sucked being the one with nobody there for him.Â
He wasnât expecting the soft tap on his arm when it came. He thought it was a mistake at first; someone elseâs family bumping into him accidentally, so he didnât move. But when the hand didnât leave its place wrapped loosely around his bicep, Bradley knew it really was for him. He turned around, squinting against the blinding sunlight to see whoâd come for him.Â
âHi.â You said softly, hand dropping back down to your side. He couldnât help but let himself take you in, eyes drinking in every single achingly familiar detail of you until you shifted nervously under his intense gaze. You looked so beautiful he almost felt dizzy, just like he remembered but at the same time somehow even better.Â
âYou came.â He said, disbelieving. He could still hardly believe you were actually here.Â
âI promised you I would.âÂ
âBut thatâthat was beforeâŠeverything happened. Why are youâwhatâre you doing here?â The last thing he wanted to sound like was ungrateful, because he was quite literally the opposite, but his mind just couldnât wrap around the fact that despite him breaking your heart seven months ago, you still remembered what youâd promised him in the very beginning of your relationship.Â
âWhat does it mean to tap someone out?â You asked quietly, tracing a finger along the planes of Bradleyâs bare chest. Your legs were tangled under the covers, both of you still basking in the aftermath of getting reacquainted with each other again after Bradley had been out of town attending a weeklong training exercise.Â
His skin was still damp with sweat, but you didnât mind one bit, too busy exploring the expanse of muscle shifting under his bronzed skin again. âIn military terms, I mean.âÂ
He chuckled, hiding a content smile into the hair at the crown of your head. âThatâs a weird question.âÂ
âHumor me, Bradshaw.âÂ
âYes maâam.â Bradley stroked a rough palm down the smooth skin of your arm, taking a few beats to come up with an answer that would make sense. âTapping out is a super long standing tradition in pretty much all military units, I think. It comes at the end of a mission, when weâve come back to base.âÂ
His arm repositioned itself under your head as he scooted closer to the warmth radiating from your body, nose nuzzling deeper against you just so he could engrain the smell of your lingering fruity scented shampoo into his memory forever.Â
How you still smelled so good even after yourâŠphysical activities just before this was beyond him, but he loved it.Â
âAn aviatorâs loved ones are usually the ones to do it. Friends, family, those kinds of people. When you tap out your aviator, literally youâre releasing them from formation. But I guess itâs kind of a gesture that meansâŠyouâre home.âÂ
Your wandering fingers stilled against his skin, lingering right above his heart. âCan I ask you something?âÂ
âGo for it.âÂ
âWho usually taps you out?âÂ
Bradley remained silent. It was an innocent question, he knew that. Heâd told you a little bit about his parents, and you were just curious. Still, it sent a pang of sadness through his chest whenever he thought about what it wouldâve been like if they were still around today.Â
He cleared his throat, sniffing once. âUsually Mav. Or sometimes one of my squadâs family. If no one can, I just gotta wait til everyone else is done.âÂ
âI wanna do it.â
âWhat?âÂ
âIâm gonna be there next time you come back from a mission. To tap you out.âÂ
âI appreciate it, honey, I do. But you donât need to.âÂ
âI want to.â You said firmly, pulling away from him to prop yourself up on your elbow and look him in the eye. You looked damn serious too. He raised a quizzical brow. âYou said that to tap someone out means to tell them theyâre home. I want to be the one to tell you youâre home. Here. With me.âÂ
Bradley opened his mouth like he was going to say something, then snapped shut when no words came out. He really was at a loss for words. No one had ever done that before. Sure, Mavâs offer was always a good one to fall back on, but Bradley had never had someone he cared about as much as he did about you telling him they were going to be there for him.Â
The next best thing he could think of instead of saying anything at all was to kiss you. So he did.Â
He pushed himself up towards you, sliding a hand around the nape of your neck and pressing his lips against yours. Not bruisingly hard, but enough to let you know he was all in. The other hand curled around your shoulder, splaying across your back to bring you back in closer to him, until your chests were flush and you could feel his heartbeat thundering under your palm.
He was home. You were his home.Â
âI told you Iâd be here to tap you out, and I meant it.â You said simply, holding his gaze. âI keep my promises, Bradshaw. Even after the way you left things.âÂ
Red hot guilt crept its way through his chest like vines, bringing all the memories of the last time you saw each other right back up to the surface, even after how hard heâd tried to shove them all down. If there was one thing he regretted in life, it was how he left you that night. He didnât think heâd ever forgive himself for that one.Â
âI donât even know what to say, Y/N, IââÂ
âThen let me say something.â You blurted, wringing your hands. Bradley nodded instantly, still too dumbfounded to reply. âIâve been thinking about what I wanted to say to you today for months. I donât even know if I should.âÂ
âYou should.â He encouraged, nodding quickly. Heâd always wanted you to be able to speak your mind with him. âDonât hold back. Let me hear it.âÂ
âOkay. Okay, well first of all, youâre an asshole, Bradley.âÂ
He nodded again. He deserved at least that much. âI am. Absolute asshole, I know.âÂ
âBut I never stopped loving you. Even though I was angry and sad and confused as fuck as to why you would do that to me, I still loved you. And eventually, I realized that it wasnât anything I did wrong. You were scared. Of losing me, of me losing you. So you decided it was your responsibility to pull the ripcord before you crashed and burned.â Bradley winced slightly at the comparison and you grimaced at your own poor choice in words. âIâsorry, I didnât mean it like that.âÂ
âItâs okay. Youâre right. You didnât deserve that.âÂ
âYou said you didnât want me to worry while you were gone, well, I did that anyways.â You chuckled, like you were remembering a fond memory instead of the constant state of anxiety youâd been in. âBut instead of worrying that the man I love might not make it home, I was terrified that if you didnât come home, Iâd spend my whole life replaying our last conversation in my head. Wondering if there was something I couldâve said or done so you wouldnât have given up on us so easily.âÂ
âYou think that was easy for me? Sweetheart, walking away from you was one of the hardest things Iâve had to do in my whole life.âÂ
âSure seemed pretty easy.â You scoffed lightly, only a tad spiteful. A low blow, you realized, when Bradley stiffened for a split second, but you held steady.Â
âIt wasnât.â His reply was immediate and firm as could be, but somehow, that didnât make you feel any better. âYou have to understand, breaking things off was the last thing I wanted to do. But I couldnâtâI thought that if I didnât, youâd wait for me.âÂ
âI wouldâve waited, Bradley! I did wait for you! For you, I'd wait forever because I love you, but you didnât even give me that choice. You made the decision on your own instead of talking to me about it. That was what hurt the most.â Â
âIâm sorry.â Bradley said quietly, reaching out to take your hand. His fingers laced through yours almost tentatively, feeling so familiar but so foreign at the same time. There was a point in your life where you never thought that concept would apply to Bradley. âI never shouldâve left like that, I wish I could take it all back.âÂ
âI think I understand now why you did it. I understand that fear that comes with the experience of losing a loved one like that. But Bradley, youâre not responsible for my feelings. And I donât care how scared you get, Iâm not going anywhere. From now on, we work things out together, no matter what you think is best.âÂ
âFrom now on? Does that meanâŠ?âÂ
âYouâre my home, Bradley Bradshaw.â
Bradley took your face in his hands and he kissed you, long and hard, pouring every ounce of pent up feelings heâd been bottling up for the past seven months into it. Pain, fear, love, hopeâall of it. You were never one to believe in such emotion being able to convey itself through a simple physical action, but now you could honestly say you understood it.Â
Your hands spread across the broadness of his back, fingers pressing into the crisp starch of his uniform like you were afraid of letting him go , even though he was home and everything was okay now. Losing him the first time made you angry. You didnât even want to imagine possibly losing him a second time.Â
He drew back, only far enough to press his lips to your forehead, hands still holding you close as could be. âThank you for coming.â
âI donât make a habit of breaking my promises.âÂ
âCâmon, I wanna introduce you to the squad.â He said softly, lacing his fingers through yours. The way he all but bounded over to the group of aviators a little ways away was almost boyish, as was the excitement in his voice when he approached them. âHey everyone, thereâs someone I want you to meet.â Bradley announced, sliding a hand around to the small of your back.Â
Everyoneâs eyes turned on you, conversations petering to a gradual stop as they looked between you and Bradley. You shifted nervously, suddenly feeling unsure with all the attention on you, but Bradleyâs thumb rubbed along your skin, soothing you just a bit. âThis is Y/N. My girlfriend.âÂ
The tall blond reacted the quickest, snapping loudly before aiming a finger in your direction, along with a shiny smile. âWait, I know you! Youâre the one in that photo Rooster keeps tucked in his helmet. Lemme tell you, he looked at that picture every damn day, it was likeââÂ
Bradley let out a very forced laugh, aiming a not-so-subtle daggered glare at the other man. âOkay, Hangman! Thatâs okay, I really donât thinkââÂ
âYouâre a real saint, taking this one back. If I ever pulled the shit he did, my car wouldâve been keyed to all hell when I came home.â Hangman chuckled, giving his head a shake.Â
âHangman. Shut. Up.âÂ
âDonât tell me to shut up, you shut up!âÂ
âYouâre the only one talking!âÂ
âAlright, alright, youâre both grown men here,â The dark haired woman sighed, turning towards you. âAt least, I hope so.âÂ
You chuckled at that, casting a glance over at Bradley to find him already looking back at you, the back and forth with Hangman already long forgotten given the way he was smiling at you, like you were the force that made the world go round. Taking you in under his arm, he dotted a kiss to your hairline as your fingers came up to intertwine with his again, watching you interact with his squad like youâd known them for years.Â
It was everything he ever wanted. And now that he had it, heâd never be dumb enough to let it go again.Â
His mind drifted back to his parentsâ fateâ how they never got to live out their life together. How there was no guarantee about anything when it came to Bradleyâs own fate with you.
And sure, it was scary to be so uncertain about the future, but youâd both climb that hill together when the time came. For now, Bradley could let himself be content. This second chance at a life with you wasnât one he was planning on taking lightly, not by a long shot.Â
âLetâs get off this damn carrier and hit the town! Drinks at the Hard Deck, last one there buys the first round!â Hangmanâs drawling voice drew Bradley out of his thoughts, just in time to let the words sink in.
You, on the other hand, stifled a giggle at the sight of seeing a group of full grown adults scatter as fast as Bradleyâs friends did. Watching Hangman nearly shove Coyote to the ground upon seeing their cars were parked next to each other was something youâd never not get a kick out of.Â
But Bradley, he didnât seem as worried about it all. In fact, he walked leisurely with your hand firmly in his, swinging both of them between the two of you as you made your way to your own car.Â
âArenât you worried youâll be the last one there?âÂ
âIâll buy the round, I donât care.â He shrugged. âI wanna spend some time with my girl.âÂ
âYour girl.â You hummed, giving his hand a squeeze. âGotta say, Iâve missed hearing that.âÂ
âIâve missed saying it. Weâve got a lot to catch up on, honey. Starting with, do you or do you not have a voodoo doll made in my image that you stabbed with pins when I was away because I broke your heart?âÂ
You scoffed, letting out a not so attractive snort. âBradley, I mean this in the most respectful way possibleâwhat the hell are you talking about? Where would you even get that idea?â
âIâuh, I had a dream about it? A few weeks into deployment.â He admitted sheepishly, cheeks burning red in embarrassment. You pressed your lips together, trying not to laugh. âYou donât, right?âÂ
âDonât be ridiculous.â You replied, giving his chest a firm pat. You didnât have a voodoo doll of him, of course, but playing along was worth it just to see Bradley squirm.Â
âWait, wait, wait, but you didnât say no.âÂ
âI didnât.âÂ
âSo you do?âÂ
âI didnât say that either. But if youâre not sure, Iâd watch yourself the next couple weeks.âÂ
His brows furrowed in confusion and a bit of fear as he watched you walk away from him with some bounce to your step. âIâŠreally donât like the sound of that. Hang on, get back here. Explain, please!âÂ

Emotional Times (OP81)
Summary: Pregnancy was a time full of hardships. Hormones on high, stress of the incoming baby, and all the sudden changes were what this father-to-be was expecting, ready to face. What he wasn't expecting was having to battle his pregnant wife's newfound sensitivity to everything that could have her emotions changing in an instant Part of my summer event!
It has been a rough time in the Piastri household. Oscar loves his wife, he really does, and god, would he move heaven and earth for her. In her current state though, she doesnât know whether she wants heaven or earth and if he brings her the wrong one she will burst into tears, but if he brings her the right one, she will also burst into tears.
There wasnât any winning. During moments like that, he just had to remember that greener grass on the other side. The other side where he finally has his own little family.Â
The couple had also both made peace with the fact he would be traveling a lot during the season and she would have to spend some of her pregnancy by herself. It was easy while she could travel in the beginning but a few complications cut her ability to do so off much sooner than the two would have liked. And she did not like this.Â
âHoney, please, get back in bed.â Oscar begged at 5 am. He was ready to head off to his next race, when he unintentionally woke his very pregnant wife up after giving her a kiss on the forehead.
This made her frustrated, she had finally gone to sleep after spending so much of the night tossing and trying to turn and the minute she drifts off he has the audacity to-
Then she realized he kissed her on the forehead because he was leaving her.Â
Now, she was holding onto him by the front door, in absolute tears at the thought she would have to do another race weekend alone.
âPlease, my love. It absolutely breaks my heart to leave you but I have no choice. Donât make this harder for meâŠâ Oscar tried to reason with her, but he was on the brink of tears himself seeing how much she wanted him to stay, realizing how much he wanted to stay. But he couldnât.
âOscar, I canât do it, please it's so hard being here all alone. I know it's clichĂ© but I canât even tie my shoes. How am I supposed to do anything? How am I supposed to take care of a baby when I canât take care of myself?â
He knew she wasnât trying to guilt him into staying or make him feel bad if he did leave. These were real concerns she had voiced before. But he felt so helpless in this moment, almost as helpless as she felt constantly.Â
The realization hit him, he couldnât leave her like this. It was unfair to both of them. He had to do something.
âI will figure something out, donât worry, Honey. Go back to sleep and when you wake up it will be much better, I promise.â He really shouldnât promise that when he didnât have a plan, but he couldnât come up with one while she was sobbing into his neck and holding on for dear life.
With a few hiccups and a small nod, he wiped her tears and gave her a kiss as he left the apartment. 45 minutes later than he would have liked, hopefully the group he was sharing the jet with didnât leave him behind.Â
She already felt better when she woke up, having gotten hours of sleep, finally. It felt so good to wake up well rested and without that many aches. Nothing could bring her mood down.
Except when she couldnât get in touch with her husband.
She knew he was traveling, that the minute his plane landed he was off to start preparing for the upcoming race. But no calls and no messages soured her mood real fast.Â
She tried to shake it off, she went about her day trying not to dwell on it, trying not to send him threatening messages for not answering her the second she texted him.Â
A call woke her up the next morning, well it was noon but she still wasn't pleased. Not till she saw who was calling.
âOh sweetheart! How are you?â Nicole Piastri asked.
If there was one person she loved almost as much as her husband, it was his mother.
âIâm okay, havenât heard from Oscar much, that asshole.â she grumbled.
âOh I remember the days, that's why I have my twitter afterall.â Nicole said, making her laugh. It was sometimes a wonder how her husband was Nicoleâs son.Â
âYeah well i-â
âOh crap, honey, I have to go! But Iâll see you soon, okay? Hang tight!â Nicole said before hanging up.
She didnât have time to dwell on the abrupt end to the call as a knock came from the front door. Connecting the two, she wobbled as fast as she could to the door, where her mother-in-law stood.Â
And then she burst into tears.
âOh, he told me you were going to do that but I didnât know it would be that immediate,â Nicole said as she went to hug her.Â
Through the tears and snot, she asked âOscar? What do you mean?â
âHe said he texted you, gosh, he is the worst at communication for someone who spends so much time on his phone,â she frowned at her daughter-in-law.
Quickly opening her texts, she saw he had messaged her a few hours ago:
Oscar: I told you I had a plan, just a few more hours, my love. I canât wait to see you in a few days :)Â
Thus the mother and daughter-in-law started their girls weekend. My god, it was exactly what she needed. As much as she loved her husband, this was 1000 times better than what she would have done if he was here. And despite how much she missed him, the weekend seemed to fly by.Â
Oscar: How is she? I am only half an hour away.
Nicole: Currently napping, but she has been good! Relaxed and happy. Hasnât even cried in the past few days
Oscar: Wow, I am almost offended she didnât miss me more?
Nicole: She needed girl time, you couldnât give that to her sweetheart. She also needed someone who actually knew how to correctly do laundry.
Oscar: Alright, mum, nice talking to you. I'll be back soon, please donât turn my wife against me.
Nicole: đ
Just as he did when he was leaving, Oscar unintentionally woke his pregnant wife up when kissing her on the forehead. Unlike when he was leaving, she didnât get upset. She was too happy to see him that the thought hadnât even occurred to her.
Holding him in a death grip, she recounted all she did while he was gone. She couldnât really go out much at this point, so hearing his mom still found a way to make her weekend enjoyable was a relief.Â
âI havenât even cried over something stupid in a while!â She said as she finished her account of the past few days.
âI heard, I am glad you are feeling so much better, my love. I hated being gone but hearing you had a wonderful time makes me so happy.â He said as he began to tear up, thinking about how awful it was to leave.Â
âOscar, come on, just cause i'm not as emotional doesnât mean you have to make up for itâ She teased.
After pestering him about how his time away was, he remembered he had picked up something for her, and while he bought it thinking he would use it to stop her tears, why not just give it to her while she is this happy.
âI picked up your favorite,â he said as he reluctantly handed her the food he got, shuddering at the unusual combination she loved oh so much.
The sound of her son gagging as he watched his wife eat had Nicole coming into the room to investigate. The picture of her pregnant daughter-in-law, happy as a clam while she ate her food, and her son holding his nose and trying to stop himself from throwing up was a sight she committed to memory and knew she was going to bring up for years to come.Â
âWhat have you got there?â Nicole asked, knowingly making Oscar gag again as he was reminded of the food combination.
âCottage cheese and ketchup,â she answered. Instead of disgust, the couple was confused by the light bulb moment Nicole seemed to have.
âMy goodness! That is what I craved with Oscar. Gross to think about now but I loved it then.â
âWhat! You never told me this?â Oscar asked, astounded he would be the reason his mom had to eat a combination that disgusted him so.
âI was saving it for the next podcast I did. Think Iâll have to talk about this moment too.â His mom teased.Â
Rolling his eyes, he turned to his wife and immediately clocked in on the frown beginning to form.
Both mother and son had the same exact thought: Uh oh.
âYou- you craved the same thing?â She stuttered out.
âUm, yeah? You okay, Honey?â Nicole asked, now on edge at the incoming storm.
Seconds of silence went by but were soon disrupted by the sounds of his wifeâs cries as she took in the information.
âBaby, what's wrong? Why are you upset at that?â Oscar questioned as he went to rub her back in comfort.
âIts just- that is so sweet, and the thought that- that I could be having the same cravings, is just- I just-â His wife didnât get to finish her sentence as more wails came out, followed by hiccuping. Â
Nicole and Oscar looked at each other in alarm as they realized that this was most likely the consequence of a weekend with no breakdowns. They had a long night ahead of them.Â

Johnny Mactavish the man that you are<3
Everyone knew you were Johnnyâs favorite. You had been since you patched him up and he had torn out his stitches not even 10 minutes later just to go and see you again. Ever since that moment he had been inseparable from you. Eating lunch with you, bar hopping during the nights he was off duty, and you dragged him off of base at ungodly hours of the night whenever you were craving fast food. He spent every moment that he could in the medical bay chatting your ear off while you tended to other patients or did various chores and you couldnât complain because he was so easy to talk to and just so sweet. Always bringing you things from abroad, getting you coffee on busy mornings, you didnât mind being inseparable from him because he was one of the only people on base you really felt close to.
That would be why he had no reservations when he beat a man to the floor for creeping on you and making you uncomfortable. It took the rest of his task force to finally pry him off the man and shove him towards an office while you were shooed away as well. Johnny didnât regret it one bit, truthfully he probably should have considering what he had just done but none of that mattered. He had seen the creep touchinâ you and beat the shit out of âem, seemed completely fair to him. He knew that old git had been following you around and now he just wished heâd laid him flat sooner. He knew he would definitely get punished for this, but he also knew Price had his back. It was only when Gaz informed him that something like this would have to go further up that he got a bit worried. Would he have done it again? In a heartbeat, but he didnât particularly fancy losing his job. Thankfully you had spoken up for him, with a grit he didnât even know you had. You had insisted what he had done was in your defense and told them everything about the offender's creepy habits. In the end, his punishment was left to Price to dish out, so you waited anxiously outside the office door. Just praying whatever it was wasnât too bad, truthfully Johnny was too. Running laps would be fine, hopefully without a pack though. Best he could hope for was an earful from Price, but in front of Ghost and Gaz would be a little embarrassing. Whatever it was, it would be worth it âSoap.â price began âI understand sirâ âdidnât even say anything yet lad?â âDon't need to sir, just do what you have toâ Price just groaned and dragged a hand over his face as he stood from his chair. Johnny stood with his eyes on the ground like he was in primary school again, getting scolded by his teacher. His eyes snapped up however when Price began to take something out of his back pocket, next thing he knew he was unclipping his bill fold. âHereâ he began to flip out bills, one by one âtake the little lady out-â he stopped before counting out some more â-somewhere nice, do us all a fuckinâ favor anâ just ask âer out wouldya?â he shoved the bills into Soapâs hands. âWot?â âFeckin tired of you doting on âer and makinâ it our problemâ He groaned gesturing to the rest of the team âgrow some balls, be a bloody gentleman, and for christâs sake at least try to dress niceâ He spun Johnny around and clapped him on the back. ââS not like that!â Johnny insisted, suddenly incredibly nervous âEveryone anâ they mum knows itâs like that mateâ Simon grunted ââS not that obvious âisit?â âDonât think ya have it in yous to be anythinâ but obviousâ âJusâ go before ya loose yer nerveâ Kyle shoved him out the door and closed it behind him, before trailing off âNot thatâya âad any to begin witââ A silence fell over the room before Kyle scrambled to put his ear to the door, Simon shifted closer, and Price leaned over his desk. They heard their friend clear his throat from the hallway.
âDid it go okay? I hope you donât have to do anything too badâ you looked up at him with those shining eyes, genuine concern lined your voice âUh no nothinâ too badâŠâ God he couldnât think straight when you looked at him like that, Price was right, he had to lock this down now, just the thought of you looking at another guy like that made him feel like he was going to heave. âOh that's good, I was worried you were going to get in trouble because of meâ you breathed out a sigh of relief âWoulda been worth itâ he mumbled under his breath âbut say uhâŠâ he began again, louder this time âwouldyaâ want to go and maybe get somethinâ tae eat when you get off today?â âSure!â You beamed âbeen craving maccieâs anywayâ Kyle turned away from the door, a scared look on his face âmate might be cookedâ he whispered, Simon quickly shushed him. âNea henâ Johnny straightened up, uncertainty plagued his wordsââm talking like some placeâŠa bit nicerâ âA bit!?â Price whisper-yelled âGave the lad at least a hundred quidâ he scowled. Simonâs gaze snapped back to his captain, neither of them could be quiet if their lives depended on it. âOhâ you felt your cheeks heat up a bit âlike where?â âHow âbout that French place? Whatsit called- The Ledbury?â Price nodded approvingly of Johnnyâs restaurant choice and Simon joined him. âReally?â your face lit up âIâve been wanting to go there forever!â Johnny was fully aware, he caught it in the âsaved locationsâ on your maps app one night when you two were out and he got you guys lost. âRight then!â Johnny practically bellowed, a bit too excited âItâs a dateâ Simon dragged a hand over his masked face âWellâŠuh not a date- eh you know what âIm tryinâ taâ sayâ Johnny fumbled to recover as you just giggled, practically over the moon with the idea of going out someplace nice with him. âPick ya up at 8 then?â Johnny could barely believe the words he was getting to say to you. âYeah Iâll see ya thenâ you waved to him and a hush fell over the room as your footsteps became more and more distant before they completely disappeared. Johnny then burst back into the office, somehow out of breath, completely ignoring the way the door smacked Kyle right in his head. âPrice?! I need tae borrow one of the SUVs tonight jusâ for a-â âDonât push itâ âRightâ Johnny left the office in the same hurry in which he had entered, too high on life to slow down. Kyle rubbed his now sore forehead and laughed. Looking from Price to Simon, âHow much you wanna bet that twat shags the poor lass on the first date?â He asks â10 quidâ Simon responded plainly âSimonâ Price shot him a disapproving look â...ehâŠ.Iâll go 15"
Little something while I work on a longer chapter for Simon and Johnny's roommate. Also I got into my uni's writing program so ya girls going to be a professionalđȘ

A/N: ....Well.... Here we are. This idea has been rotting in the back of my brain for SO long, and I am finally ready to serve my time in horny jail đ«Ą As y'all know, Javi's tac vest is deeply important to me, and it only feels right to support my namesake as such by sharing my deeply dirty thoughts of getting absolutely obliterated by this man in that stupid fucking vest. If you know me, no you DON'T, please do not make eye contact with me for the next 7-10 business days. đ€Ș
This can be read as a stand alone, or as a part of the It's Never Too Late Series!!
âAre you sure this is the last box?âÂ
âYes, Hermosa, Iâm positive.â
âWell, that was your answer 3 boxes ago, Jav.âÂ
You laughed to yourself, hauling what was supposedly the last cardboard box out of the back of Javiâs truck as you followed behind him into your new house. Your official move in day had finally come, and while you and Javi had been periodically transporting things from your apartment to the new house since it had been finished with construction, today was the last day on your lease, and the first day of your forever in your new home together. While you couldn't have been more excited to finally be in a real home of your own with Javi, you were much less excited about the 47 trips you had made in and out of the house, hauling boxes to and from Javiâs truck, and unpacking your entire existence into your new living space.Â
You let out a little grunt as you set down the box into the mountain-like pile that had accumulated in your living room, Javi sneaking up behind you and wrapping his arms around your waist as he planted a soft kiss on your shoulder.Â
âYou promise this was the last one?â You giggled, your voice oozing with sarcasm as you gave Javi a playful nudge while he held you in his grasp.Â
âPromise.â He laughed, giving you a squeeze, only making you squeal and squirm even more. âHopefully unpacking shouldnât take too long, Iâll start moving the heavier shit upstairs and in the garage, and Iâll come help you down here when Iâm done.âÂ
âWhat, are you saying I'm not strong enough to carry the heavy boxes? Rude.â You teased, spinning around to face him, crossing your arms over your chest, one eyebrow raised.Â
âYou know thatâs not what Iâm trying to say, you dork.â Javi sighed, rolling his eyes at your utter lack of seriousness in response to his comment.Â
âI donât know⊠Sure seems like it to me⊠I just donât think that- HEY! PUT ME DOWN! STOP, STOP, YOU MEANIE!â You screeched, flapping your arms in hysterical laughter as Javi slung you over his shoulder, trapping you in the only way heâd figured out how to get you to stop with your never ending sass- tickling you until you were close to tears. âFine, I- Javi! Stop! You win! You win! Let me go, you butt!âÂ
âDid you just call me a butt?â He snorted, setting you back down on the ground, smirking at the goofy grin on your face as you tried to recompose yourself, post tickle torture.Â
âI would have come up with a better insult if I wasnât close to almost peeing my pants.â You grumbled, sticking your tongue out at Javi, the two of you trying your best to keep from bursting into laughter again.Â
âWill you just go start unpacking, weirdo? The sooner weâre done, the sooner we can go break in the new bed.â He smirked, biting down on his lip, his eyes looking you up and down with a mischievous sparkle.Â
âOooorrrrrr⊠We could just go break it in now and unpack later?â You shrugged, placing your hands on Javiâs chest, grabbing a fist full of the soft cotton of his worn t-shirt as you pressed up on your tiptoes and placed a kiss on his pouty lip.Â
âAs much as I want to,â He paused, pressing his lips back into yours, feeling the smile of his smug grin, âIf we go now, thereâs no way all of this is ever getting unpacked.âÂ
âUgh, fine. You win again, Mr. Reasonable.â You frowned, giving him one last quick kiss before pulling away to search through the endless sea of cardboard to sort where each box needed to go. You reached down, hoisting up one labeled âbedroomâ and resting it on your hip, pointing to the scratchy scribbles of Javiâs handwriting. âLook! Iâm already going to the bedroom, sooooooâŠâÂ
âOsitaâŠâ  Â
âFine, fine. You better move those boxes fast. Rude to keep your wife waiting like this, ya know.âÂ
âWill you please just go unpack, Hermosa?â He sighed, laughing and shaking his head, hiking up two boxes, heavy enough to make his biceps flex and the veins in his forearms incredibly noticeable. You could almost hear yourself audibly gulp as you watched him walk up the stairs, the muscles of his back flexing and straining deliciously against the gray cotton of his t-shirt.Â
âJesus fucking ChristâŠâ You muttered to yourself, in awe of your husbandâs sheer broadness. So in awe, in fact, that you hadnât even realized you had let your box slip from its place resting against your hip onto the living room floor, making you jump and startle yourself, scrambling to try and pick it back up in hopes that Javi hadnât noticed.Â
âYou okay, baby?â Javi shouted from halfway up the stairs, peeking his head over the railing to see what had happened.Â
âYup, yup, totallyyyyy fine, all good, just going to unpack, nothing to see here.â You mumbled, darting down the hallway, eyes peeled in whatever direction was the exact opposite of Javi.Â
Oof. You better find a way to become the worldâs fastest unpacker.Â
Thankfully, you and Javi seemed to make an unspoken pact to unpack in separate parts of the house to avoid distracting each other, Javi now working on organizing things in the garage while you worked on sorting all of the things that belonged in your master bedroom. Clothes and sheets had been easy to put away compared to all of the pots and pans you had unboxed in the kitchen before this, working your best to put things away as fast as you could with keeping the metal clashing and clanging to a minimum.
 As you dragged the last box labeled âMaster Bedroomâ into your room from the hallway, you were curious what kind of contents could be inside, considering youâd put away all of yours and Javiâs clothes, and whatever bedding belonged in your room. You spun the box around to each side, looking for any more clues, until your last turn, where you found âJavi DEAâ printed on the upper corner.Â
You paused for a moment, letting your fingers drum across the tattered cardboard, questioning whether or not you should leave it for Javi to deal with, or open it up for yourself. You gently chewed on your bottom lip as you internally debated, trying to rationalize with yourself before quite literally opening up a box into Javiâs past.
You had heard about the good, bad and ugly that had been Javiâs life in Colombia before returning home to Laredo, so you would be shocked to find something in this box that Javi really didnât want you to see.Â
Itâs not like there was anything heâd be trying to hide from you in there, right? Probably just a bunch of badges and paperwork, anyways.Â
With a little sigh and a shrug, you carefully ripped down the seam of the tape holding the box together, slowly lifting the cardboard flaps to reveal the contents inside. As you peeked into the box, you let out a little huff of relief to find out that your suspicions were correct- nothing but file folders, old badges and ancient coffee mugs with DEA symbols slapped across the front.Â
You began making your way through the box, sorting its contents into piles for Javi to go through once he was finished in the garage. Even though majority of the items inside the DEA box were less than thrilling (unless you had a thing for reading 50 page long contracts full of legal jargon), you did get a kick out of Javiâs old badges, giggling at his grumpy frown that seemed to be plastered across his face in every picture he took from the time he started, until he retired. What cracked you up even more was finding the badges from the first few years Javi must have started working for the DEA, still sporting his signature pout, but with a clean shaven baby face you had only had the pleasure of seeing from the photo albums of Javi's youth that his father, Chucho, had so lovingly offered to share with you.
You gave the picture a sweet smile before setting it down with the rest of the badges in the growing pile, mindlessly reaching back into the box to pull out what you assumed would be more file folders full of paperwork. Except this time, you felt your fingertips graze against what felt like tough and worn fabric, dragging your hand further along the cloth until hitting a patch of scratchy velcro, making you cock your head in confusion. You scooted yourself over closer to the box, peering under the few manilla folders left inside to spot an army green strap popping out from in between them.Â
Now very much intrigued, you dug your hand between the sea of papers, yanking on the mystery item to reveal a deep olive green vest, followed by a few crinkled pictures that must have been stuck inside it, gently fluttering to the floor in front of you. You set down the much heavier than expected vest to pick up one of the photos face down on the carpet, only to turn it over and feel your jaw practically drop to the floor and eyes bulge out of your skull. Because in that picture, was not just any photo of Javi from his time in Colombia, this was a photo of Javi, in the very vest that you had dug out from the bottom of his box.Â
And holy fuck did he look hot.Â
Frantically, you picked up another photo that had fallen to the floor, feeling your heart legitimately skip a beat to find it was another shot of him in the vest, his dark curls sticking to his forehead from the sweat soaking his skin and the light blue button down underneath it, hands resting on the hips of his dark gray khaki pants that left very little to the imagination. You flipped over one last picture, only to find the same, breathtaking visual of him in that damn vest, his biceps straining against the sweat-stained cotton of his army green shirt, the veins in his forearms prominently on display as he held the gun he was carrying pointed at the ground.Â
While you had never seen these photos, or even known about this mystery vest until today, there was a part of you that was glad you hadnât- the way Javi looked suited up in that vest had your head reeling in a way you werenât sure youâd ever recover from, because Jesus Fucking Christ, it was the hottest goddamn thing youâd ever seen.Â
Your eyes darted back and forth between the three photos, each picture somehow looking better than the last every time you found a new detail to drink in that made Javi look even more delicious.
Holy fuck.
You couldnât help but let your mind wander even further than it already was, picturing what Javi would look like with it on now, the broadness of his shoulders filling out the vest even more than he would have the last time he wore it.Â
You were so entranced, so lost in ogling at how attractive Javi looked in the vest, that you hadnât noticed the sound his familiar footsteps trudging down the hallway, stopping in the doorway of your bedroom and watching you as you sat cross legged on the floor, hunched over the now nearly empty box.Â
âHey, Hermosa, Iâm almost all done in the garage if you wanna-â Javiâs voice quietly trailed off as his eyes wandered, looking at the items from inside the box spread across the floor, stopping at the long forgotten sight of his old tac vest propped up against the cardboard.
He couldnât help but quietly laugh to himself, simply out of shock that you had even found the vest in the first place, considering he hadnât even remembered it had been living inside a box that hadnât been touched since it was shipped back to Laredo with the rest of his things post DEA.
âWhere the hellâd you find this? I havenât seen this thing in fucking years.â He chuckled, reaching down to pick up the well worn armor, letting his thumb run along the seams of the rough fabric as he held it up in front of him, blocking your blushing and bright red face from his view.Â
âIt was uh- it was at the bottom of the box.â You gulped, trying not to stumble over your words, biting down on your tongue to try and keep your embarrassingly sheepish smirk at bay, Javiâs eyes now meeting yours as he lowered the vest from his view. He tilted his head in confusion at your clearly flustered state, reaching out his free hand to gently grab your arm, rubbing his thumb back and forth across your skin, his touch only making you more riled up.Â
âHermosa, are you okay?âÂ
âYeah Iâm- yes, Iâm- Iâm fine, itâs stupid.â You muttered, making no attempts to cover up your clearly blatant lie, darting your eyes away from Javi and shifting your gaze to the floor to try and hide your hot, flushed face, embarrassed that you were this worked up from 3 old photos and a piece of police gear.
But unfortunately for you, Javi knew you like the back of his hand, and knew all too well when you werenât telling him something that was on your mind.Â
Letting his hand slide up your arm and across your collarbone, he stopped at your chin, forcing your gaze back on him, giving you a smug shrug and raise of his eyebrows, silently waiting for your real response, the one he knew you were hiding behind your bashful facade.Â
âWhatâs going on, baby?âÂ
With your eyes locked on his, thumb resting under your jaw, you had no choice but to swallow your own pride, the sweet dark brown of his glare coaxing your sheepish secret right out of you.Â
âThere were- there were pictures of you in the vest in the box. You look- Jesus, Javi, you look really fucking hot.âÂ
âThatâs it?â He laughed, softly swiping his thumb across your cheek, still feeling like he hadnât quite gotten everything out of you.Â
âWell I was thinking... that uh- if- what-âÂ
âWhat, baby? Talk to me, itâs okay.âÂ
Oh, fuck me.Â
âWould you, um, would- would you put it on?âÂ
âPut it on?â He chuckled, lifting up the vest, gesturing towards it.Â
âMhhmmmm.â You nodded, letting your tongue run against your teeth before biting down on your bottom lip, feeling a rush of heat rapidly creeping through your body.Â
âLike, right now?âÂ
âLike, right now.âÂ
Realizing that you were completely serious about your request, Javi let out a playful scoff, running his hand over the back of his neck, almost as flustered by your ask as you were at the thought alone of seeing him in his vest.Â
âReally? I mean, uh- yeah, okay.â Working in a quick and determined silence, Javi began slipping the vest over his head, pulling it over his broad shoulders and unfastening the velcro sides before readjusting them, tugging the flaps tighter against his stomach to hold them in place, quietly grumbling to himself. âUsed to be able to pull these a lot tighterâŠâ He groaned, flattening the last strap against the velcro.
As his focused shifted from his vest to you, he couldnât help but smirk at the dumbfounded look on your face- the image in front of you leaving you so completely stunned, you felt like you needed to wipe the corner of your mouth to make sure that there wasnât any drool coming out of it. Your brain was so short circuited, at a loss to form any sort of coherent sentence, the best you could muster out was a low, shaky, âHoly fucking shit.âÂ
âDidnât know you had a thing for tactical vests.â Javi grinned with a devilish look slowing spreading across his face, seeing the complete and utter mess you were becoming as he slowly stepped towards you, the looming image of his broad body in that fucking vest making your heart race and your palms sweat.Â
âWell, I- I didnât, um, I didnât-â You stammered, your breath trembling as you tried to respond, your brain going blank as you watched Javi approach you. Before you had a chance to even try to and concoct some sort of answer, Javiâs hand was back under your chin, fingers wrapped around your jaw with a much tighter and demanding presence than just a few moments ago, sensing the undeniable shift of palpable tension in the room.Â
âDidnât what? Use your words, sweet girl.â He rasped, teasing you with his knowingly smug smirk, his words shooting straight to your core, making your stomach flip in anxious arousal.Â
You could feel your words bobbing in your throat as you swallowed, your tongue darting out of your parted mouth, desperate to taste Javiâs lips now barely ghosting yours, patiently waiting for your response, relishing in the needy mess he could sense you were quickly becoming.Â
âDidnât realize it until I saw you in it. You look- fuck- you look so hot.â You whispered, feeling his warm breath against your skin as he sucked at your pulse point, his teeth nipping at your neck as a ragged moan escaped your mouth. âJaviâŠâÂ
âNot gonna give you what you want 'till you tell me. I wanna hear you say it. Tell me what you want.â You could practically feel his satisfied smirk as his kisses worked their way down your neck towards your chest, each press of his lips taunting you, only making it harder and harder for any part of your brain to function.Â
âI wanna- fuck- I wanna suck your dick. Fuck, I need to taste you.â You whimpered, reaching out to run your hand across his vest, letting it trail from his chest, down to his stomach, your fingertips grazing his belt buckle before a firm grasp wrapped around your wrist, holding your hand in place and stopping it from traveling any further.Â
âNuh-uh.â Javi tutted, rasping in your ear. âBe a good girl and ask first. Tell me how badly you need it.â Â
âPlease, Javi. Fuck, please let me suck your dick, baby. Please.â You moaned, sounding more desperate than you had intended, but fuck, there was nothing you wanted to do more than drop to your knees and worship him in the most sinful way you could. Â
âJesus, youâre so fucking pretty when you beg for it. You need me that bad, Hermosa?â Javi grinned, feeling you nod your head frantically, the hand he was holding in his grasp reaching for below his belt. âOkay, baby, show me how bad you need me, huh?âÂ
In an instant, you were dragging your hands down his vest, sinking to the ground as you frantically worked to undo his belt buckle, the quiet clang of the metal singing a song of sweet relief as you shuffled his pants down his legs before hooking your fingers around the elastic waistband of his boxers, tugging them down to meet his pants. pooling around his ankles. His cock sprung free as it was released, already painfully hard and weeping with precum as it slapped against his stomach, the sight alone making you lick your lips. You kissed the inside of his thighs, trailing your way up to his shaft in long, languid movements, dragging your tongue back and forth along the underside of his cock before sinking just his tip between your lips, swirling it in your mouth.Â
You had barely touched him, but you were already so worked up that what had started as just a wet patch in your underwear had now turned into the fabric becoming completely soaked in your slick, leaving your cunt aching and throbbing. With your mouth still sucking and flicking at his tip, you couldnât help but let your hand snake down your front, sneaking between your skin and the waistband of your pants as it dipped into your underwear. You let your fingers slide through your folds, before sinking them into your heat, your hips instinctively grinding down on your hand to find any sort of temporary relief as you fucked yourself with your fingers.Â
Looking up at him with batted lashes, you sunk your mouth deeper down on his length, hollowing your cheeks as you took him inch by inch, watching his eyes go wide as you took the hand that had just been inside your pants back out to reveal the shiny slick covering your fingers, then wrapping them around his base, covering his shaft in your arousal.Â
It was taking everything in him just to say fuck it right then and there, to toss you onto the bed and fuck you until you were begging him to stop, but watching the way you worked around his cock so needily had him so stunned, he couldnât bring himself to do anything but let you work your magic.Â
âJesus, fuckâŠâ Javi muttered to himself, already feeling his balls beginning to tighten as your head bobbed along his dick, sinking down just enough to let the deep, musky scent of the curls at the base of his shaft tickle your nostrils.Â
It wasnât long before his hand was buried deep in your hair, his fingers cradling the back of your head as his hips began to buck towards your face, trying to hold himself back from full-on fucking your throat, until your fingers wrapped around the back of his thighs, bracing yourself as you gave Javi your silent nod of approval to keep going. Letting a low groan rumble in his chest, his second hand met the one already palming the back of your head, guiding you up and down his cock as he thrust deeper into your throat, tears welling in your eyes and saliva spilling out the corners of your mouth. His tip brushed against your gag reflex, making you dig your fingertips further and further into his skin.Â
âOh fuck- this what you wanted, Quierda? To get on your knees and let me- shit, shit, shit- fuck that pretty little mouth of yours like the good girl you are?â Javi hissed through gritted teeth, trying to keep himself together as he watched his length slide in and out of your mouth, tempted to let himself go and spill deep down your throat, watching his spend drip down your lips. But he knew heâd be kicking himself if he wasnât finishing buried in the depths of your cunt, your warm, wet walls milking him of every last drop, clenching around him as you came.Â
That was enough to pull him back to his senses, guiding his dick out of your mouth, the two of you catching your breath as you wiped your hand with the back of your mouth in confusion, wondering what had made him back off so quickly.Â
âJavi, are you okay? Did I do something wr-oh!â You gasped, stumbling as Javi forcefully pulled you to your feet, manhandling you towards your dresser, your mouths becoming a mess of tangled tongues and teeth as your back bumped against the wooden edge. Javiâs hands were under your legs, grabbing you and hosting you up to sit on top of it, ripping your pants and underwear down off your hips and tossing them to the floor.Â
âI need to be inside you. Fuck, I need to feel you when I fuck you full of me.â He mewled, reaching down to stroke himself as he lined his dick up with your entrance, running his tip through your folds, coating it even more in your slick before sinking himself deep into your pussy, flushing his hips against you as his cock bumped against your cervix. Even though you were already soaking wet, you couldnât help but whimper at the sweet sting of how full Javiâs stretch made you feel, gripping around the shoulder straps of his tac vest for dear life as he began to thrust in and out of you, already setting a punishing, desperate pace.Â
You wrapped your legs around the small of his back just under his vest, whimpering and moaning into his shoulder as your buried your face in the crook of his neck the lewd noises of muted moans and slapping skin filling the room as Javi punched into you, his cock splitting you open in the best way possible.Â
âJavi, oh fuck baby, fuck, you feel so good, oh shit-â You whined, your brain going blank, babbling between moans, already feeling a tingle beginning to build at the base of your spine while Javiâs hands gripped around your hips, holding you in place as he fucked into you hard and deep. Your cunt was starting to clench around his cock, pounding into that sweet spot inside you that had you seeing stars and screaming his name as you could feel yourself coming undone around him.Â
Rutting your hips against him, the hairs at his base rubbed your clit, the friction giving you just enough stimulation to send you over the edge, your orgasm crashing through you with a ferocious intensity, flooding every inch of your body with pleasure.Â
âThatâs it. Give it to me, Hermosa. Fuck- cum all over me baby girl.â Javi hissed through gritted teeth, his words humming deep in his throat as he fucked you through your high, his hands holding you in place as you melted into him, your body going limp as you came. âYou gonna give me another one, Querida? Be a good girl and give me one more before I fuck you so full of me, Iâll be dripping out of you for days.âÂ
You were so lost in your pleasure, you couldnât find any words, simply nodding your head as you moaned into his neck, only starting to come to when you suddenly felt an emptiness in your cunt, Javi pulling out to scoot you off the dresser, guiding your feet to the floor as he turned you over, splaying your chest across the wooden surface and pinning your arms behind your back. Gently nudging your feet wider, you could feel his broad body looming over yours, his hot breath dancing across your neck as he nibbled at your ear.Â
âYou still okay, Osita?âÂ
âMhmmmmâ You whimpered, your body trembling as Javiâs hands ran across your hips, feeling his hard length pressed against your ass, wiggling your bottom half against him, desperate for him to ease the emptiness between your legs again.Â
âLemme hear you say it, baby. Tell me how bad you need it.â Javi grunted, now dragging his cock through your folds, teasing your dripping entrance, waiting painfully patiently for your response.Â
âI need it so bad, Javi, please, please baby.â You moaned, rolling your hips and pushing your ass back on him, doing anything to try and feel him inside you again.Â
âMy needy girl. Shhhhh, itâs okay baby, Iâve got you.â Javi smirked, flushing his hips against your ass as he bottomed out inside you, the fullness making you cry out in pleasure.
He slowly began thrusting in and out of you, dragging his cock along your heat, each stroke punching against your g-spot, so wet that you could hear each rut of his hips as he buried himself deeper and deeper into your hilt.Â
You were so blissed out, barely hanging by a thread as you felt heat beginning to bloom in your belly once again, that you were resting your head against the dresser, closing your eyes as you felt yourself coming undone. That was until Javiâs firm grasp shifted from pinning your hands behind your back to sliding up your neck, resting his hand under your jaw and forcing your gaze into the mirror on top of your dresser.Â
Your eyes locked with Javiâs, the reflection of him in his vest towering behind you as he thrusted into you over and over, watching the brown pools of his eyes darken with lust as he watched you slowly begin to come undone under him.Â
âEyes on me, baby. Wanna see that pretty face when you cum all over me.âÂ
The image of him was all consuming- His wide shoulders spilling from the sides of the vest, his dark, damp curls sticking to his forehead from the sheen of his sweat that had begun to pool in his brow, the wrecked look painted across his face making you weaker and weaker as you could feel the heat creeping up your legs and through your core.Â
Reaching back, you grabbed on to the side of his vest, burying your fingers into the thick fabric for dear life as his pace began to quicken, his thrusts becoming faster and sloppier with each snaps of his hips as he felt your pussy fluttering around his length, watching you turn into a puddle below him.Â
âI know youâre close, baby. Câmon Hermosa, oh shit- give it to me.â Javi grunted, letting his hand drop from your jaw to snake down your body, the pads of his fingers circling your clit with just enough force to have you screaming his name, clenching your cunt around his cock as you came.Â
âJavi, Javi, oh fuck, fuck, fuck-â You babbled, your eyes practically rolling in the back of your head as Javi began to follow suit, rambling incoherently, chasing his own high.Â
âI know, baby, I know. Such a good fucking girl, taking me so well. Fuck, oh shit- Iâm close, too. Oh, fuck me- Jesus Christ, Iâm gonna-ahhhhhh-â With only a few more thrusts, Javi was spilling inside you, his spend pulsing against your walls as he milked himself of every drop he had, his body slumping over yours as your chests rose and fell in sync, trying to catch your breath.Â
Your legs trembled as the warm mix of your spend trailed down your thighs, only to be caught by his fingers, slowly dragging your combined arousal back up your skin before taking it and pushing it back into your entrance, languidly pulsing his digits in and out of your dripping hole, making a ragged moan fall from your lips as he nipped at your neck, softly sucking at your pulse point.Â
âGonna keep you full of me all night, sweet girl, all fucking night.âÂ
âHoly fuckâŠâ You whined, finally catching your breath enough to speak before pushing yourself back up to stand, turning around to grab Javiâs face, pulling him in for an electric, passionate kiss before letting your hands rest on the worn army green of his vest, quietly laughing to yourself in disbelief. âJesus fucking Christ, Javi.âÂ
âYou okay, Osita? Sorry if I got carried away, I just- fuck, seeing how worked up you were, I-âÂ
âJavier JesĂșs Peña, you better not be apologizing to me for being the hottest fucking thing Iâve ever seen in that goddamn vest. I swear to God, Iâm never letting you take that thing off. Well⊠On second thought, if you donât take it off I donât think I will ever be productive ever again because holy shit.âÂ
The two of you couldnât help but laugh to yourselves as Javi wrapped his arms around your waist, his thumbs tracing soft circles against the bare skin of your hips, looking out at the scattered sea of pants and underwear on the floor that had been quickly left behind during your horny antics.Â
âWell, if you let me take it off,â Javi grinned, pressing a chast kiss on your cheek and then peppering them towards your lips, âthen we can go take a shower to clean up,â he paused again, feeling his smile against your mouth, âwe can go break in the bed, and I can return your little favor from earlier since someone was too eager to get dicked down to let me.âÂ
âOh, shut up, can you blame me? Donât have to ask me twice.â You giggled, raising a playful eyebrow at Javi. âJust promise me one thing, okay?âÂ
âOf course, Hermosa. Anything.âÂ
âDonât you ever get rid of that fucking vest, Agent Peña.âÂ

Faking It | Jeon Jungkook | Chapter Two
Summary: Seeing him again happened sooner than you thought it would but absolutely no one is complaining. Pairing: f!reader (30) x Single Dad Jungkook (33) (Arranged Marriage Slow Burn?) Word Count: 9.8k Warnings: Talking about Jungkook's wife who passed away in childbirth (Doesn't talk about her death but yeah) a/n: Took me three months but we're finally here đ And if any of you saw me post this and delete it...no you didn't. I posted it on my reblogs account on accident so sorry if that teased you a bit đ
Anyways I hope this was worth the wait đ p.s. I only read through this once when I completed it so have mercy on me if there are typos
I wake up naturally this morning and it's honestly one of the best feelings in my opinion. Not having to worry about being woken up out of a sound sleep shows me that it's going to be a good day.
As I yawn and rub the sleep out of my eyes I hear my phone vibrate on my nightstand, telling me I have a new message. I roll over and reach for it lazily to check and when I read the sender's name I immediately shoot up, causing Salem to dart off the bed. "Sorry Salem" I call after him but then when I go back to read the message my heart is already beating out of my chest.
'Good morning y/n I hope you slept well. How are you?'Â a simple yet inviting message from the man I just met last night. Who knew waking up to good morning texts would still feel this good at the ripe age of thirty?
'Good morning Jungkook! I slept like a baby, best sleep I've gotten in a while actually. I just woke up so, so far so good. How are you? How's Juni? Did you guys sleep alright?'Â I send and at a second glance I can see how completely whipped I am for this man already. Why am I rambling on and on about sleep? I could've just said 'I slept well, I hope you did as well' or something like that.
'That's good, I'm glad to hear! Juni and I slept alright. She actually only woke up an hour ago which is unheard of since she's usually knocking on my door at six am. She's been talking about you since she woke up'Â he sends back and my heart flutters, loving that I've made that big of an impression on her already.
I check the time and see that it's already nine am which is a record time for me to sleep as well since I'm usually up by seven most days. Then again it's not everyday that you get to spend the night with a man like him...
Wait! That's not what I meant!
'She can't stop talking about going shopping for butterflies so I wanted to see if we could set up a time soon. Maybe this weekend if you're free?'Â he suggests and I have to restrain myself from kicking my feet, just thinking about this man asking to see me again, disguised by his daughter wanting to get butterfly decorations for her room.
'This weekend sounds perfect! I'm free tomorrow as well so either day is fine' I offer up and face palm, scolding myself for being too eager. 'Tomorrow sounds great! Should we meet around eleven? Juni and I would love to take you out to lunch if you'd like. You know, to thank you for the help' he sends and I can't help but think that maybe he's a little nervous too.
'Eleven it is! Should I meet you guys there? There's a shop that I'm sure Juni will love and it'll definitely have what we're looking for!'Â I send and I can see the bubbles popping up to show that he's typing but they go up and down a couple more times. He'll type for a little and then stop and type again and I can only hope that I didn't say something wrong in suggesting where to go.
When a few minutes go by I decide it's best to get out of bed and get a cup of coffee. That'll wake up my brain a little more and help me hopefully not make as much of a fool of myself while texting him.
I find Salem perched on top of his cat tree, still a little jumpy from me having scared him but I think it's made him playful more than anything as I watch his tail flick back and forth while he watches me walk up to him.
"I'm sorry for scaring you" I apologize again, scratching his between his ears but when I feel my phone vibrating over and over in my hand I jump again making him climb down off his cat tree and scurry under the couch. I sigh and scold myself as a result before taking a look at my phone, seeing an incoming call from Jungkook.
I almost drop it after reading his name but catch and answer before I end up dropping it.
"Hello?" I ask, slightly out of breath from the scare but try to hide it as best as I can. "Hi pretty lady!" I hear Juni call out in the distance, the phone no doubt on speaker phone. "Good morning Juni! How are you little one?" I ask, feeling more at ease talking to her first and my question awards me with a little giggle before she continues.
"I'm good! Daddy says we're going to a special store to pick out the butterflies for my room! Is that right?" she asks, clear excitement laced all throughout her tone. "Yes that's right Juni we are! Does that sound alright to you?" I ask and I can clearly hear how she's jumping from excitement from how punctuated her voice sounds now as she chants "Yes" over and over again.
"I wish we could go right now!" she says, her excitement too difficult to contain at the moment which makes me smile knowing that she wants to go right away.Â
"Patience Juni, tomorrow isn't too far away" I hear Jungkook's voice coming through now and it makes my breath hitch, forgetting the fact that he had been there all along. He wasn't kidding when he said that Juni grabs everyone's attention right away. Given the chance I'm sure she would've talked to me for hours if her dad hadn't reminded her.
"That's right Juni, only one more sleep until tomorrow" I say and I can hear a little gasp from the other side. "Does that mean I can go to sleep right now and then we can go?" she asks, not understanding the concept entirely.
"Not unless you want to sleep for twenty four hours silly" he says and I hear a fit of giggles that could only mean that he might've tickled her but after a few seconds it's calmed down.
"How long is twenty four hours?" she asks, a constant roulette of questions gearing up if he doesn't answer this question correctly.
"You know how you woke up yesterday, went to school, came home, played with your toys, got ready, went to meet Ms. y/n, came back home, went to bed and woke up this morning?" he lists off and I can tell she's probably nodded her head all throughout his explanation.
"Yes?" she responds in a questioning tone, waiting for him to get to the point. "Well that's how long twenty four hours is" he responds and I hear jumping again once he's finished before an excited Juni calls out. "Does that mean we get to go see Ms. y/n again when I get home from school?" she asks and my heart melts at her excitement.
"Juni, we're seeing her tomorrow remember. I'm sure Ms. y/n is very busy tonight" he says and I hear a sad "Oh" from her and I contemplate my next words carefully before going for it. "Juni, would it be okay if I talked to your Daddy for a second?" I ask and I can hear her let out a disheartened 'Okay' before Jungkook takes the phone off speaker.
"Hey y/n, sorry she's a little hyper this morning" he says and I smile at his efforts to apologize for Juni's adorable disposition. "No that's okay, I love talking to her! She's a cutie" I say and he hums, "Try living with her" he counters and I smile, knowing that her excitable attitude might get a little tiring sometimes.
"I wanted to ask you if you would like to do something today after Juni gets home from school? Maybe meet you at the park? I forgot to give you Juni's dress last night after I washed it. I have to go back to my parent's house to pick it up anyway and theres a park around the corner. It's your call though. I don't want to go against what you told her" I say, rambling off nervously again but this time over the phone instead of texting and I regret ever offering it in the first place.
Why am I so freaking awkward?
"You sure you don't mind? I could always just get it from you tomorrow? I don't want to inconvenience you or anything" he says, giving me a chance to back out but not saying no to me, giving me a vote of confidence. "I wouldn't have offered if I minded" I say with a smile in my tone and he takes another second to think before giving me his response.
"She gets off at three, does that work for you or should we meet up later?" he asks and my heart skips a beat, knowing that I'll get to see him again so soon. "That sounds great, you can meet me at my parent's house if you'd like? The park isn't too far away so we can leave our cars and walk there" I offer and he takes a couple of seconds to think again before saying anything else.
"Juni, do you wanna go see Ms. y/n after school?" he asks and I can hear her little feet running around this time and repeating her response of ceaseless Yes's again. "Well I guess we'll see you later then. I can bring some food for us to take to the park if you'd like?" he offers and I shake my head before remembering that thankfully he can't see me in my sleepy state.
"No that's okay I got it covered. You already said you guys are taking me to lunch tomorrow so the least I could do is bring us food to share at the park today. Plus, I'm the one who suggested it in the first place" I explain and he chuckles before agreeing.
"Alright, thank you y/n. Should we show up around four then?" he asks, giving them time to make their way over after picking her up from school. "Four sounds perfect, I'll see you then!" I say and he calls Juni over to say goodbye. "Bye Pretty Lady! See you after school!" she giggles.Â
I swear I'm never going to tire of her excitable disposition.
"Goodbye Juni! Have a good day and listen to your teachers okay?" and I can hear a faint 'I will' in the background, no doubt from her running off to do something. "Thanks again y/n, I know she's going to be so excited to see you today...we both are" he adds at the end and my heart skips at his confession. "Me too" I say quietly and we finish up our goodbye's before quickly hanging up.
I slowly walk over to the couch as to not scare Salem this time, grab the pillow next to me, put it over my face and scream into it. Although I tried to muffle it I still end up scaring him making him run off to my room, no doubt planning to be wary of me for the rest of the day but that's okay.
I get to see them again, I get to see him again.
I really hope I'm not wrong about thinking that there might actually be something between us already, something about this just feels right. I don't want to rush into this too quickly though since we don't really know much about each other. I want to take things slow and hopefully he does too.
Well...I hope he'll want to take things further but you never know, a man like him is sure to have a lot of options, right? I just don't want to set myself up for heartbreak. Gotta keep it together and not get too vulnerable with him, even if it feels like I should.Â
I've already let him in a little, and he's definetly let me in a lot with letting me spend so much time with his daughter but I don't know, I guess only time will tell what's going to happen between us.
If there's going to be an 'us'.
~~~~~
The day drags on as I unconsciously count down the hours until I get to see them again but it seems as though time is standing still.
I've spent most of my day editing the pictures I took for a family friend's wedding since that's usually how I get my clients these days. I know someone who knows someone who needs a photographer and my rates are pretty fairly priced so they tend to hire me.
Going through picture after picture and seeing how happy they look together makes me wonder what it would be like to be truly happy with someone like this. Be so openly and obviously in love that no one can say otherwise.
As time ticks by though my mind wanders off until I realize I only have about an hour to get ready before I have to meet them.
"Shit!" I say aloud and get up to hopefully make myself look presentable enough, luckily I took a shower this morning so we're all set on that front. I still need to figure out something for us to eat while at the park though and if I had paid attention to the time it would've been a brilliant idea.
The only option I have left is to phone a friend.
"Y/n? Is something wrong?" my mom asks, the call on speakerphone while I try to fix my hair. "Well depends on if you can help me or not" I say and I hear her sigh. "Please tell me you didn't end up in jail" she says and I scoff at her obviously sarcastic remarks.
"Very funny mom, but for your information no I did not end up in jail. This is seriously something I need help with though. Are you busy right now?" I ask, hoping and praying her answer is no. "No I'm pretty much free for the rest of the day, why?" she responds and I let out a huge sigh before responding.
"Good! Can you do me a favor and throw together a picnic lunch for three? Well...two and a half" I ask, not wanting to give up who it's for but by her gasp I can tell she already knows. "Are you and Jungkook seeing each other again already?" she asks, and I can tell her eyes are as wide as saucers with her hand over her mouth, her reactions being the same since I was a child.
"Yes" I say, giving a one worded response leaving me turning down the volume on my phone when I hear her squealing. "This is incredible! See I knew you two would hit it off! I can hear the church bells ringing already" she says, jumping to conclusions as she always does.
"Mom can you please get the food ready for me?" I plead, going back to the topic at hand while putting some makeup on, nothing too crazy but not wanting to over or under compensate. "Yes yes of course. Leave it to me!" and before I can say another word she's hanging up the phone. "Well that was easy" I say to myself before going to my closet to pick out what to wear.
As I'm flipping through my options I see Salem come out of the darkness, scaring me half to death leaving me scoffing seconds later, realizing he's given me a taste of my own medicine "Okay I guess I deserved that one huh?" I say to him and he meows in response.
"Okay Salem this one, or this one" I say, placing my options in front of him and he sniffs both before swatting at the one he's chosen. "You don't think a sun dress is too much?" I ask and he meows almost as if he was telling me to trust him and so I laugh and give in.
"I hope Juni likes it" I mumble to myself, quickly throwing it on and rushing to finish getting ready. A few minutes later I'm giving Salem a couple tummy rubs like I always do and rushing out the door, praying that I'll get there on time.
The drive to my parent's house seems like it's taking ten times longer than usual and I'm constantly glancing at the clock, making sure that I won't be late but thankfully I get there with plenty of time to spare.
"Hurry up they'll be here any minute!" my mom says, practically having babysat the door to make sure I arrive first. "Nice to see you too" I mumble, never getting a proper hello from her anymore. "The basket is on the table and I put a blanket in there as well" she says rushing me over to where she's put it and it's at that moment she finally notices my appearance.
"You really like him don't you?" she ask, smugness laced in her tone as her efforts of matchmaking are slowly succeeding. "No! Yes...I don't know" I deny but I backtrack immediately since I really do like him. "I haven't been interested in anyone in years and so I don't want to try too hard but I don't know" I somewhat admit to myself, as well my mom that I'm really starting to warm up to the idea of being with someone again.
"It's okay love, he hasn't been with anyone in a really long time either" she says and I furrow my brow, "How do you know that?".
"Well Mrs. Jeon and I were talking about it last night and it seems like ever since his wife died he's been really closed off to love or the idea of dating again. He's tried a few times but they never went beyond a second or third date" she relays and I nod my head, distracting myself with looking through all of the things she had placed in the basket.Â
I try not to let any expression spread across my face since I don't know how to feel. I don't want to say I'm happy that things didn't work out between him and another woman but it's also sad to think about how Jungkook might've felt when his wife passed in such a traumatic way.
"Thank you for telling me but I think I should start learning more about him when he feels comfortable talking to me about it. It's only fair right? I'm sure he hasn't asked too much about me and my past so I guess shouldn't either" I say and walk into the kitchen to get a glass of water.
"But he has" she says when my mouth is full making me spit it into the sink that was thankfully right in front of me. "He what?" I cough, trying to compose myself as I learn this tidbit of information. "He has asked about you. In fact I was on the phone with her right before you got here" I grab a paper towel to dab off whatever water I have left on me but before I'm able to respond we hear the doorbell ringing.
"I'll get it" she say knowingly, giving me another second to calm down before I have to face him. I take a few deep breaths, fix my hair and check my reflection as best as I can in the smudged steel finish on the fridge while listening to my mother greet them at the door.
While Jungkook and my mother exchange a few words I peek around the corner and notice Juni slightly tugging on my mom's pant leg. "Excuse me but where's the pretty lady?" she asks and I have to hold back the coos I want to let out so badly, my heart already a puddle at the sight of her pleading eyes wanting to see me.
"Why don't you go look for her?" she says and when Jungkook looks up his eyes meet mine immediately for just a second but long enough to know my cover is blown. I duck back into the kitchen to hide, convincing myself that he didn't see me when he clearly did.Â
"Go on" he says softly when Juni no doubt looks up at him for approval and my mother follows behind her as Juni walks in the completely opposite direction from where I am, my mom trailing behind her, giving no hints and letting her explore on her own.
I assume that Jungkook follows them but when I hear what sound like his footsteps get closer and not further away I tiptoe my way into the pantry, completely mortified that I know now for a fact that he caught me staring at them.
I close the door almost all the way and ten seconds later I watch as his form passes by the little crack in the doorway and I hold my breath as if that might help but there's only one way in and one way out of this kitchen and both him and I know that.
Why did I even hide? What was I thinking? Way to start things off on the right foot.
While I'm busy scolding myself I forget to pay attention and stumble back when he opens the door. "Got ya" he chuckles and I clear my throat, "Yeah I uh, I guess you did" I say, trying to lean back against one of the shelves, stumbling over a box instead but quickly recovering.
"Why are you hiding?" he chuckles, leaning up against the door frame and crossing his arms making me look down and notice how one of them is completely covered in tattoos. I had never specifically been attracted to tattoos before but on him...
I lose track of what he had said and only realize I had left a lull in the conversation when he clears his throat. "Oh I-" I start off but when I hear my mother and Juni's voices in the other room I grab his shirt and pull him in, making him stumble inside, closing the door right away.
It's only when he hits the switch to turn the light on that I realize what I had done.
"I-" I try to apologize but when I look up at him I notice that there's something in the way he's looking at me that I have never seen before, making my words die in my throat. We stand there for what feels like hours but had only been mere moments just observing each other, watching those small changes of expressions and I start to feel dizzy under his gaze.Â
The tension between us clear and building but it's only when he opens his mouth to say something that the door is thrown open and we're met with a squeal from Juni. She runs into the closet and grabs onto Jungkook's leg making him stumble forward and as a result pins me against the shelf, his hands resting on either side of me.
It's like the universe is playing some sort of sick and twisted joke on us, constantly putting us in situations like these and yet we had only just become reacquainted with each other last night.Â
"I found you!" Juni squeals again, giggles as her cries of victory and she soon pulls on Jungkook's leg to try and separate us.Â
"Daddy I wanna play with the pretty lady" Juni pouts and in her efforts of trying to pull him off of me he actually loses his footing and stumbles, our bodies fully flush against each other now, his face just inches away from mine.Â
I blink up at him and he does the same to me, both of us frozen and not really knowing what to do. It's only when my mother chimes in and asks Juni to come with her to get a snack that that little bubble that had formed around us had been popped.
"I...sorry... I uh, tripped...you know...with Juni and everything" he says, fumbling his words like a school boy, taking a few steps back to be at a respectful distance again. "Yeah no it's fine. I um, I shouldn't have pulled you in here in the first place" I admit and he smirks, remembering the point that lead us up to the little predicament we're in.Â
"Why did you pull me in here?" he smiles, glancing over at where my mom has Juni plopped down on the kitchen counter with a popsicle in her hand. "I take hide and seek very seriously" I explain, me being the one crossing my arms now and he chuckles at my lame excuse for my actions but accepts it anyways.Â
"Right" he says and offers me a hand to lead me out which I reluctantly accept.
"Mom she'll spoil her dinner" I say, scolding her with Juni just lost in the flavor and sheer size of it. To be fair it looks adorable in her little hands. "It's alright, a little sugar won't hurt her. Plus we're still going to the park right?" he asks and I look at him and nod. "Right" I agree and lift Juni off the counter to set her on her feet.Â
"Hi Miss y/n" she says with a bright smile with her lips and tongue stained a bright shade of red from the cherry flavor. "Hi Juni" I say and fix her little sun dress that she's wearing, it's almost as if we had planned to match and when she notices me straightening out her dress she look at mine and also notices the similarity right away.Â
"Look Daddy! Miss y/n and I are matching!" she says with the toothiest grin I've ever seen, her front two teeth standing out just a little bit more making it another cute little trait she shares with her father. Although who knows if she'll keep that once she starts losing her teeth I think to myself and quickly fix her hair as well since it's gotten a bit ruffled in the excitement of it all.Â
"That's right baby, you both look so beautiful" he says making my heart skip a beat. When I look over at him he's giving me a similar adoring look he gave Juni just moments ago making it even harder for me to not melt into a puddle.Â
I'm beginning to notice that these two really know how to tug on a person's heartstrings, it's almost as if it were as easy as breathing and that's something that's gonna take a while to get used to.Â
"Can we go to the park now, please?" Juni asks, her eyes going back and forth between the two of us and when I look over at Jungkook he nods. "Sure, are you ready?" I ask, turning back to Juni and she jumps up and down and chants 'Yes' over and over again like she had done this morning on the phone.Â
"Alright let's go" I say and with one hand clutching her popsicle for dear life she uses the other one to grab mine and drag me towards the front door.Â
"Juni be careful" Jungkook scolds but I turn back towards him and assure him not to worry and I can see how he relaxes at that. She's a little bouncing ball of sunshine, emphasis on the bouncing since she can hardly sit still most of the time unless she's eating, and even then she's dancing around and smiling happily. I swear if this girl gets any sweeter I'm gonna start getting a toothache.
I let go of Juni's hand while my mother entertains her so we can make sure we have everything before we head out and when I try to turn around to grab my cardigan Jungkooks already grabbing it and holding it out to help me put it on. "Oh! I can-" "I know" he cuts me off but doesn't make any moves to give it to me so I turn my back to him and let him do as he pleases, sliding it up my arms and over my shoulders.
He runs his hands down my arms, no doubt as an excuse to smooth it all out but it causes a slight shiver to run through my system and he let's go, surprised at the reaction.Â
"You sure you're gonna be warm enough?" he asks, a hint of amusement laced in his tone making my cheeks heat up but I nod my head and quickly rush over to the table where the basket is so I don't have to face him but he takes it from me as soon as my fingers brush the handle, making our hands touch.Â
"I can carry that" I counter and he shakes his head, "No I'll carry it, someone's gotta hold Juni's hand while we walk there" he says, clearly delegating our respective duties and I smile and nod again. "Deal" and at that we're out the door.Â
~~~~
"Higher Daddy higher!" Juni squeals while Jungkook pushes her on the swing, his arms no doubt getting a little tired since she's been on it for the past ten minutes now and I can see he's losing momentum with every push.Â
"Daddy's tired Juni. Can you swing on your own now? You know, just like I taught you" he suggests and she thinks about it for a second before saying a quick 'Okay' and clumsily moving her legs back and forth to keep the momentum going.
I smile as I watch Jungkook stumble over towards where I've been sitting on the blanket and watching them, adoring their father daughter relationship. "You're so good with her" I praise when he sits down and hand him a cold water bottle which he accepts right away and downs half of it.Â
"You think so?" he asks, always unsure of himself but I couldn't think of a more perfect father than him. "I know so. She's lucky to have a loving devoted father like you" I say and he smiles softly, grabing one of the strawberries that my mother had packed for us.Â
"You flatter me" he says, a slight blush blooming on his cheeks making me feel almost smitten with him. "It's the truth" I reenforcing what I've said and he shakes his head, finishing off the fruit in his mouth.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm not enough, you know? Like there's only so much I could give her" he says and I can tell from how his body language has changed that he's really thinking about how he wishes her mother could be here for her too.
"What was her name?" I ask and he looks at me curiously, not knowing that I'm on the same page as him yet. "Your wife, what was her name?" I say tentatively but when he registers it I quickly backtrack. "I'm sorry, you don't have to tell me that. I just figured that you might've been well..." I trail off and we sit there in silence watching Juni swing back and forth, back and forth until he decides to speak up.Â
"Julie" he says softly, as if it had been years since he had spoken it. "Her name was Julie" he says softly and when I look over at him I can see the melancholy expression he's trying to hide. "That's a beautiful name, did you want Juni's name to sound similar to her's?" I ask, not wanting to make this conversation go dark but knowing that talking about her might cheer him up.
"Well, kinda. We wanted something that combined both of our names. It's silly, I know" he mumbles getting bashful about it. "It's not silly, it's wonderful to see in a way that both you and Juni are still carrying her with you everyday. It's a beautiful way to pay tribute to her" I reassure him and he smiles at me, mouthing a silent thank you.Â
"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have pried" I apologize again, seeing that it still has him feeling down. "No it's okay, it's nice to talk about her every once in a while. Thank you, for that" him now reassuring me and I nod, both of us left in silence for a while before Juni runs up to us.Â
"Daddy what's wrong?" she asks, seeing the clearly deflated Jungkook as she gets closer and it's good to see that instead of brushing it off like it's nothing he doesn't hesitate to tell her how he's feeling. "I'm just a little sad, Ms. y/n and I were just talking about Mommy" he explains and she gets almost a look of understanding which is surprising for someone of her age.Â
"Please don't be sad Daddy, remember you said Mommy is always watching over us right?" she say, giving him the talk that he's clearly had with her a time or two. "Right" he say, brightening up just a bit. "And she wouldn't want to see us sad when we think about her right?" she continues, an slightly stern tone creeping up which makes both Jungkook and I smile. "Right" he echos again and she nods her head in agreement.Â
"You always tell me to look in the mirror and touch my nose, and my ears and my lips and everything else that you say reminds you of her and you tell me that she'll always be right here with me. So that means when I'm here with you she's here too right?" she asks again and he chuckles.Â
"When did you get so smart?" he says, grabbing her and starts tickling her, making her squirm all over the place and when he finally has mercy on her and she catches her breath she answers, "Well I am turning five soon" she says matter-o-factly and I can't help but chuckle at that. "Oh right, how could I forget" he over exaggerates and she giggles, grabbing his shoulder before leaning in to whisper something.Â
"Daddy can we show the pretty lady a picture of Mommy?" she says almost at full volume leaving him flinching back. It's adorable how she still hasn't figured out this whole whispering thing. "Sure baby" he obliges and pulls out his phone, picking out one and handing it to her so she can show it to me.Â
She surprises me by plopping down in my lap and putting the phone way too close to my face. "This is my Mommy, her name is Julie" she says proudly and my heart can't help but ache thinking this is the only way she's known her mother. "She's beautiful Juni" I say, putting my hand on top of her hand that's holding the phone and pulling it back so I can see the picture properly.Â
"You really do have your mom's nose" I chuckle when I notice the same curved button nose they share leaving me booping her's and making her smile. She scrolls through a couple more photos giving me little bits of commentary that no doubt Jungkook has told her as she grew up and it's when I hear the soft click of a camera that I look back up at him.Â
"Sorry, it was too perfect not to" he says, seemly enjoying watching the two of us and I can't help the way my heart skips a beat making me shy all over again. "Can we take some more pictures?" Juni asks, wrapping her little arms around my neck and squishing my face against her's leaving me laughing at how adorable this all is.Â
Jungkook obliges and we take picture after picture after picture together until Juni is satisfied and has run off to play again.Â
"I didn't even know that you brought that" I say, watching as he fiddles around with the camera, flipping through the photos he just took. "It was on the table right behind the basket" he explains and now that I think about it I do remember seeing the corner of a camera bag sitting next to it.Â
He smiles as he looks at the pictures and I lean over to catch a glance at them but he pulls it back out of my reach. "Hey!" I chuckle and she shakes his head. "Not until they're edited" he refuses and I scoff.Â
"You're not actually going to edit them are you?" I say, nervous at the thought of him spending hours looking at those pictures. "Why wouldn't I?" he asks as if I had said something confusing. "Well I mean, aren't you busy with work? I doubt you would want to take extra time out of your day to play around with them" I explain and he smiles.Â
"Let me take a few more and then I'll let you see them" he says, angling his body so he's facing me. "Did you want me to call Juni back?" I ask but when I try he stops me with another click and I look back at him confused. "I meant of just you" he says simply but I can tell he feels a bit bashful from the way he's started to hide behind the camera.Â
"I'm not used to being the one in front of the camera" I say, trying to figure out exactly how to pose but he chuckles and puts the camera down a little to take a good look at me. "I don't see why not, you're beautiful" he says casually as if those words hadn't sent my heart into overdrive. "I-" I start but the words just don't come out, especially when he places the camera down and leans in closer.Â
He takes my hand and places it on the blanket so I can lean on it, places the other in my lap, angles my shoulders slightly away from him and takes my chin and softly tilts my head up, making the sunlight peer down on my face through the leaves of the tree we're under.Â
"Just relax" he says, acting as if I could possibly relax after he had his hands all over me, posing me just how he wanted.Â
I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths to clear my head and once I start to get that sense of serenity I hear a few soft clicks from his camera, taking picture after picture, him adjusting my pose by hand every time.Â
"Daddy!" is the next thing we hear after who knows how long with the sight of Juni running over to us all covered in mud. "Is this your daughter?" a woman who is clearly out of breath says while trailing after Juni.Â
"Juni what happened?" I chuckle, seeing that she's as happy as can be with a few smudges of dirt on her face and her dress all muddy. "Her and my son were playing over there and I guess he convinced her to jump in the mud and well..." she says, motioning towards Juni where I'm trying to clean her off as best as I can.Â
"I hope she didn't cause you any trouble" Jungkook says, now feeling a bit guilty about the situation since he had taken his eye off her for a second.Â
"No, not at all. If anything I should be apologizing for my son. I swear we look away for one second and he's as dirty as can be" she chuckles, finally close to catching her breath.Â
"Can you tell the nice lady thank you for bringing you back?" Jungkook tells Juni and she does as she's told and I can see that she has just about as much of an affect on this mom as she does with me. If Jungkook's not careful she can use her cuteness for mass destruction if left unchecked.Â
We hear a boy calling out for his mom that looks just like the woman in front of us now with no doubt her husband trailing after him. "Mom, Dad says it's time to go home" he says, his state twice as bad as Juni's. What is it with kids these days and mud? I chuckle to myself and when the boy notices Jungkook and I with Juni he gets a little shy.Â
"Oh, hello" he says before he goes and hides behind his mother's leg, "Oh so now you wanna be shy?" his dad teases and snatches him out from his hiding space and whispers no doubt an encouragement for him to apologize.Â
"I'm sorry for getting her all dirty. She was just really nice and I wanted to have fun with her" he mumbles and I can see hints of pink peeking through the streaks of dirt on his cheeks just like Juni.Â
What did I say? Weapon of mass destruction.
"It's okay sweetie, I'm just glad you had fun" I say, brushing off his apology and when he looks up at me now I can see that his blush deepens and opts to hide behind his Dad's leg this time. "Alright well say goodbye" his mom says and he mumbles a quiet goodbye and gives Juni a shy wave compared to hers being one to match her outgoing and bubbly self.
"Can we play again tomorrow?" Juni asks him and he looks up at his parents for approval. "We usually come here around this time everyday after school so you just have to ask your Mommy and Daddy if you can come again" she says and when I try to deny her claims Jungkook jumps in before I can get a word out. "We'll be here" he says and Juni smiles so wide.Â
"See you tomorrow!" she calls out to them and the trio waves goodbye one last time before heading to their car.Â
"Mommy and Daddy?" I turn to Jungkook while Juni is busy doing a little happy dance before taking a drink of her juice box. "Well I um, I guess they couldn't help but think we're her parents so it felt best to not correct them" he says while rubbing the back of his neck, his cheeks dusted a light shade of pink just like the little boy's were when he was looking at Juni.Â
"Right, and when they say something tomorrow?" I tease and he clears his throat, no doubt not thinking this whole thing through. "Well I guess there's no harm in faking it?" he says and now I'm the one that's nervous.
"Faking it? You mean you want me to pretend to be Juni's mom? Why?" I ask, flustered by the thought of it. "I'm sorry I guess I didn't think about how you might feel about it. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable" he apologizes but I rush to explain myself.
"I'm not uncomfortable I'm just shocked that you would want to go along with something like that to keep up appearances for people that we hardly know" I say, trying to figure out where his head is at. "Sorry that was a stupid suggestion we don't have to do it if you don't want to" he says and I shake my head.
"I mean I want to, but do you? I mean what about Juni? What's she gonna think?" I ask and watch as she chases a butterfly that has caught her eye. "We can just tell her we're playing pretend" he says and I raise a brow at him.Â
"That's the best you got?" I ask and he chuckles nervously. It's funny to see that a tall, strong, handsome man like him is getting so shy about this but I'll play along, I just don't want to confuse Juni.Â
"Juni can you come here for a second?" Jungkook calls and she turns and runs over to us right away, looking between the two of us since we're both looking at her with no doubt some very strange expressions. "You like to play pretend right?" he asks and she brightens up at the thought, "It's my favorite thing to do!" she says, twirling around in her very adorable muddy dress.Â
"How would you feel if we started playing pretend with Ms. y/n?" he asks and she gets even more excited and does her little chanting of 'Yes' over and over again, a very adorable habit of hers.Â
"So this is what we're gonna do, whenever we're out and about with Ms. y/n we're going to pretend like we're a family. You'll be the Baby, I'll be the Daddy and Ms. y/n will be the Mommy, does that sound alright to you?" he asks and she giggles and looks between the two of us, clearly loving the idea.Â
"Yes let's do it!" she says, fully confident in her playing pretend skillset. "Alright Juni but there's one little rule" he says and she come in close, knowing that this part is probably a secret. "You can't call her Mommy in front of her parents or grandma and grandpa, got it?" he says and I fully agree with him, we don't need to get their hopes up when we still don't know exactly what we are.Â
"Got it! Mommy?" she asks, getting my attention and trying on the name for size and I answer to it right away, somehow feeling almost natural already. "Yes Juni?" I ask, and she looks over at the playground for a second before looking back over at me. "Can I go play for just a little while longer?" she asks, holding her hands together and giving me the cutest puppy dog eyes I've ever seen.Â
"Go ahead" I say and she giggles and rushes off to run around just for a little while longer just like she said. "It suits you" Jungkook says and I look over at him curiously, "What does?" I ask with a tilt of my head. "You being a mom" he says and the words die in my throat. I've always been told I'd be a good mother when the time came but hearing it from him after what we just agreed to do just...
"Thank you" I say, my heart squeezing in a painful but also grateful way and he gives me a smile before he places his hand on my waist for a second to solidify his sincerity before walking a bit closer to the playground to watch Juni.Â
I decide to start packing up the stuff we had brought and by the time Juni is dragging her feet back over to me and completely out of breath I've got everything ready to go. "You tired?" I ask and she nods her head, her blinks getting lazy as a clear sign that it's time for bed.Â
"Why don't I carry her home...I mean back to my mom's house" I correct myself quickly but I can tell he liked the sound of what I had said, my implication being completely different from what he had imagined. "It's alright, I can carry her, we've got one pretty dress all muddy so I don't think we need another one" he chuckles.Â
I pause for a second and pull out the picnic blanket we brought and hold it against myself before picking her up. "Problem solved" I say and he can't help but smile at my solution and quickly takes Juni's shoes off and wipes her feet clean as best as he can before taking the end of the blanket and tucking it all up so she's practically wrapped up like a burrito.Â
"You sure you can cary her? She can get a bit heavy when she's sleepy like this, especially since we've gotta walk for a little bit" he offers and I assure him I'm fine. "What kind of mother would I be if I couldn't carry my child home?" I tease and his eyes widen, clearly having forgotten the little game we're playing.
"How dare I doubt your capabilities as a mother" he chuckles and picks up our stuff, motioning for me to lead the way.
A few minutes go by and we're left in a comfortable silence on our way back to my parent's house and when I decide to speak up he does the same. "I-" "Tha-", "Sorry you go first" "No that's okay you go first" and we toss it back and forth a few more times before he hits me with the age old "Ladies first".
"Thank you for coming tonight and letting me spend some more time with Juni...well and you of course" I say sheepishly and he smiles. "I would hope you like spending time with me since you are my wife after all" he teases and now we've switched personalities. "You know, I think you're getting a little too comfortable with this already" I say and he smiles, playing with his lip piercing that I somehow only noticed right now, the silver glistening from the street lights.
There's so many things I haven't noticed about him yet, or even know about him but somehow everything seems so easy.Â
"I mean can you blame me? You fit right in with Juni and I. Honestly better than I thought you would" he mumbles the last part to himself and I have to try my absolute hardest not to literally fall for him. I'm holding his daughter so I would one thousand percent say that now is not the time.Â
"What?" I ask, needing clarification but he doesn't give. "Oh nothing" he smiles and picks up the pace, leaving me trailing behind him and right when I go to say something else Juni flinches leaving me slowing down and soothing her back to sleep. "Your Daddy is crazy, you know that?" I whisper to her as if she could hear me but the need to say something was too great.Â
A minute or two later we're walking up to my mom's house and I twist my body to give him access to the small purse I brought with us and let him fish out the keys to open the door.Â
When my mom hears us come in she goes to give us a no doubt overly exaggerated welcome home but as soon as she sees a very sleepy Juni in my arms she cuts herself off and switches to a hushed tone.Â
"Looks like you all had fun" she chuckles and caresses Juni's head for a second, checking to see if she's really asleep and she very much is. "Maybe a little too much fun" Jungkook chuckles, seeing my mother slowly realize how dirty Juni had gotten.Â
"She's a cheeky one isn't she?" my mom smiles lovingly and I can't help but wish this whole mom thing with Juni was real. "She is indeed" Jungkook agrees, and hands my mother the picnic basket.Â
"Thank you so much for letting me steal your daughter today" Jungkook teases and I can tell that she absolutely loves this. "Honestly you can keep her. I hardly see her anyways" she says, giving Jungkook permission as well as sending a jab my way.Â
"Mom" I groan and the both of them smile as if they delighted in my embarrassment. "I just might" he says softly while looking over at me and I can see my mom picking out the wedding venue as we speak, meanwhile I'm wrestling with myself to stay calm.Â
We agreed to fake this relationship which means that everything he says is fake...right? I need to separate the real from the delusion but he unfortunately isn't making this any easier.
We say our final goodbyes to my mom and she watches until we walk up to Jungkook's car, no doubt still watching behind the curtain of one of our front windows, spying on us as if her life depended on it. I try to ignore it though because how we end tonight is really important to me.Â
"Can I ask you something?" I say after he finishes putting Juni in the car, him closing his car door and walking me over to my car just a few feet away. "Anything" he says while ushering me toward it with a hand on my waist, a slight sign of protection since it's gotten a lot darker than we both realized.Â
"When you said I fit in better than you thought I would...and that you might keep me, was that a part of this whole faking it thing we have going?" I ask, wanting to have an open line of communication with him. We're not shy teenagers anymore so as adults I feel like this is something really important to establish.Â
"Do you want it to be?" he asks, standing in front of me while I lean against my car door. It still very much being locked as a very clear sign that I don't want this to end. "I mean we just met and..." I say, trailing off because I don't really know what I want. All I know is I like him. I really really like him and his daughter has got me wrapped around her cute little finger.Â
"I know, we can take this slow. If this whole husband/wife thing is too much for you we don't have to do it" he offers and I shake my head, "No, no I want to. I just don't want the lines to get too blurry" I explain and he nods his head and leans his hand against the car right next to where I'm standing.Â
"Blurry lines aren't a problem for me when it comes to you, it's your call though" he says and if my heart wasn't already racing it surely would've been now. I look up at him and hold my breath when he gets closer my eyes not leaving his and when he lean down I close my eyes, giving into whatever he wants to do to me.Â
"Goodnight" he whispers, his warm breath fanning my neck making me lose my sense of reality for a second, wanting to lose myself in him without abandon. I can hardly breathe let alone think straight and he chuckles at that, standing up straight and ghosting his fingers along my jaw before stepping aside, a clear sign for me to get into my car and when I fumble with my keys he takes them and unlocks it and opens the door for me.
I sit down inside and look up at him, indulging myself for a few more seconds. When he hands me my keys he makes our hands touch only for a moment before saying a soft 'Drive safe'.Â
When he closes the door for me I finally let out that breath I had desperately been holding back, watching as he walks back to his car with his little Juni still sound asleep.
I watch him pull out of the driveway and decide that even the way he drives is irresistible, giving me a small wave before he goes and while I'm lost in thought I almost jump out of my skin when I hear my phone ringing and my mom's name pops up.
"Mom I really can't talk right now" I say, putting her on speakerphone and starting to car. "Do not give me that y/n I am your mother and set you up with this man so tell me what is going on" she says and I sigh, checking all my mirrors and heading out as well just seconds later.Â
"To be honest mom I don't even know. He's showing me very very clear signs that he's interested in me but I can't really say much of anything else at this point" I admit, the realization that the state of our relationship is anything but normal.Â
"We just met last night and things are progressing fast, like really fast" I sigh, stopping at a red light, thankfully giving me a second to think. "Well I'd say this is all a good sign. I mean you're both in your thirties honey so adult relationships can progress a lot faster than when you're younger. He's a man that clearly knows what he wants and he wants you. So go for it" she encourages and I take it all in.Â
"You're biased because you're my mother and would love to have his parents as your in-laws" I say and she scoffs. "Yes but that's not the point. You would be a fool if you let a man like him walk out of your life" she scolds and I know she's right.Â
"I'll do my best to keep an open mind. But please don't talk to his mom yet, or at least not tonight. I don't need both of you losing sleep over this" I warn her but I know she'll do as she pleases no matter what. "You know I can't do that, but I'll do my best" she says and that is the biggest lie she's ever told but I'm not surprised since we dangled this whole thing right in front of her face.Â
"You called her already didn't you?" I sigh and she chuckles. "As soon as I closed the door" she admits and I sigh, not the slightest bit surprised. "Alright mom well I gotta go but we'll talk again soon" I say, pulling into my parking spot and turning off the car.Â
"Okay well keep me updated" she says and I can't help but roll my eyes. "Between you and Mrs. Jeon I'm sure you can keep each other in the loop" I say, putting my keys in the lock and closing the door behind me when I step into my apartment. "But I gotta go alright, I'll talk to you later" I say once again and hang up as soon as she says goodbye.
"Hi Salem" I sigh, watching as he jumps down from his cat tree and stretches before walking up to me, rubbing against my leg before walking over to his food bowl, clearly requesting the very late dinner I'm giving him. "I'm sorry boy, I guess I gotta get you one of those timed feeders now from the looks of it" I apologize and give him his food right away.Â
I put a couple treats into his bowl as well as an apology and make my way back to my room to jump in the shower and think about everything that happened today.Â
Jungkook basically admitted that he wants to get to know me better because he clearly feels like he can see a future between us and to be honest I pretty much feel the same way. It could be that we've caught a severe case of puppy love but I think we both know that this could potentially go somewhere.Â
I love spending time with him and Juni, granted this is only the second time we've spent time together but still I can't get over the fact of how natural it all felt. Then he goes and pulls this whole pretend to be married business and now he's telling me he doesn't mind if the lines are blurred between us.Â
This is all way too much for one day but I can't deny that I'm not enjoying the journey. This is progressing a whole lot faster than I thought it would but that doesn't necessarily mean that's a bad thing. I guess we've both got a whole lot of learning to do.Â

Repaying The Favor
G1 Rumble/ Mechanic Reader - 4600+ words NSFW, Valveplug, Miscommunication, First Time, Oral Sex, AFAB Reader - They/Them Pronouns for reader
The sequel to "Oh! That's What That Does?!" is finally here! Same reader, same Rumble, same trying to figure each other out, only this time they get to slam down crazy-style about it. When will Frenzy get his turn in the spotlight? Eventually, I think! Maybe once I've finished a few other pet projects.
NSFW WRITING BELOW THE CUT!
It had been exactly fifteen days since you had last heard from Rumble.Â
Not that youâd been counting.
Sure, the cassettes probably had more important things to do than lounge around your workshop waiting for your attention, but that's exactly why it was so odd. They always had better things to do, things that they were pointedly avoiding doing by barging in on your work and taking up what little free space the shop had remaining. But since your little tryst with Rumble, you hadn't seen armor nor optic of any of the usual cassette bot suspects.
Maybe you'd broken some sort of ancient, space robot taboo that you'd never heard of. Or maybe Rumble was just embarrassed that he jizzed all over your jumpsuit. Either way, it wasn't like you had any way of getting ahold of them besides them dropping in, so there wasn't much to be done about the situation but wait.
You were leaving the corner store when you heard it, the cacophonous boom of a jet flying far too close to the tips of the skyscrapers overhead. The sound sent you reeling, bags crumpling to the sidewalk as you hurried to cover your ears. Down the street you could make out the screech of metal smacking against metal, see the flailing limbs of two massive robots staggering clumsily through the street as they traded blows with each other. Neither of them were one you recognized, the red Autobot with the oversized chest window wrestling one of the identical jet Decepticons into a clumsy headlock. As they stumbled about one of them trampled on a car parked along the curb, and you winced as the metal shrieked and crumpled under his massive foot.
Yeah, time to get out of here. You gathered up your bags and ducked into the alley between the buildings, slipping past trash bags and old graffiti, trying not to tread in any unidentifiable puddles. Off in the distance you could hear an emergency siren start to wail, hopefully signaling that whatever the space robots were quarreling over this time would be settled sooner rather than later. All you really wanted was to get back home without any further interruptions.
But as you emerged from the back alley entrance and found yourself hoisted into the air by two massive metal hands around your waist, you'd decided to kiss that chance goodbye. Your bags clattered to the ground once more, bread and fruit and canned goods spilling out around a familiar pair of pedes. When you glanced up to his faceplate, the glow of his visor was nearly enough to blind you.
âRumble?!â
His visor dimmed enough that you could see his intake, which had just before been pulled into a maniacal grin, drop open in visible shock. Then, as quick as it came, it was gone, replaced instead with a tight, furrowed frown.Â
âWhatâre you doinâ out here?â He barked.
âBuying food. Or trying to, at least.â You glanced over his shoulder just in time to see Ravage pounce on that yellow Autobot with the horns that was always showing up in the news. âYou guys having a little play date or something?â
He scoffed out a laugh, quickly stifling it with a clearing of his vents. âWhatsit matter to ya? Didn't think you cared dat much about lilâ old me.â
âRumble, whatâŠ?â Was he seriously pouting? Or maybe trying to guilt trip you? For what, making him cum? âWhat are you even talking about? I haven't seen you in like, two weeks.â
âAww, real funny! You know what I mean! I let you poke around in my chassis and run up my charge, anâ after that it's radio silence? Whaddya humans call it⊠ghosting? Make a mech feel like second-rate shareware, why don't ya?â
You blinked at him once, twice, mind spinning as you tried to process his words.
âAre you- are you mad I didn't call you?â
His optic lights beamed as he bristled, armor flaring with a hiss before clamping tight back to his frame. âI told you to comm me!â
âRumble, I don't have your number! I couldn't call you even if I wanted to!â
His grip went slightly slack as he stared at you, leaving you dangling from your armpits like a cat.Â
âI⊠I hailed you my frequency. In da EM field.â
âHumans don't have⊠whatever that is. Do you have a phone number?â
He stared at you again, much longer this time as the discordant crashing of giant metal men continued in the background. Then, with a sudden jolt, you were slipping free of his fingers as he dropped you unceremoniously to the pavement. It wasn't a far fall, just enough to make your feet tingle upon landing. When you looked up you saw he had both servos covering his faceplate, a string of muffled curses eking out between the digits.
Your mind was reeling. He actually wanted you to call him? To⊠repay the favor? Heat pooled in the pit if your stomach as your mind conjured up wicked memories of his stifled gasps and whimpers, how heâd squirmed beneath you as you prodded around his spark chamber. How behind all the billowing and smashing and Brooklyn-accented bravado, when you got down to the core of him, he was actually kind of⊠cute.
âYou- just- I donât- Get outta here! Go on, scram! Before you get stomped on or somethinâ!â His face plate was flushed and glowing as he shooed at you. You would go, that was certain, you really didn't want to get stepped on after all. But first you were going to say something potentially risky, deeply embarrassing, and undoubtedly very, very stupid.
âCome over.â
His optics shuttered, flickering for a moment as he stared down at you, frozen.
âWhat?â
âNot right now. Tonight. When you guys are done getting wailed on? Come over.â
He opened his intake, then closed it. When he opened it a second time you caught a wisp of steam slipping through the gap in his dentae. He swallowed, hard. He never stopped staring at you.
â...Y-Yeah. Yeah. Awright. I'll be there.â
âCool. Watch out for the yellow guy.â
âHuh-HGGRRK!?!â You stumbled back a few steps just in time for the Autobot to chuck Ravage directly into Rumbleâs helm, sending him crashing into the brick wall beside you.
âSorry! Are you alright?â The little Autobot called. âYou should probably get out of here!â
He didn't have to tell you twice.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The news was just wrapping up their coverage on the âlatest Decepticon assaultâ when you heard a rap on your warehouseâs roll-up door. There wasn't much to see peering out the window, the street only haphazardly illuminated by old street lights. Not that you really needed to look, there was only one guest you were expecting at this time of night anyway.Â
You'd stopped at home first, mainly to take a shower and put on something that wasnât a pair of mechanicâs overalls. But for some reason the nerves hadn't hit you until right now. You clamped down on the prickle of⊠anxiety? Excitement? Somewhere between the two? As you pulled the strap at the base of the roll-up, the groan of shifting metal slowly gave way to revealâŠ
âAre you wearing a bowtie?â
âNot bad, eh? Don't say I never cleaned up or nothinâ. Here.â As Rumble stepped from the dark street into the light of the warehouse he pulled something from his subspace: a large, green bottle that he offered to you pinched between two fingers. A bottle of wine. Judging by the label, an expensive bottle of wine.
âWhere did you get this?â You turned the bottle over twice in your grip, scanning the details on the back. French Merlot, aged⊠fifteen years? Holy shit.
âDat fancy Italian place on the corner of Fourth and Vine! What, ya don't like it?â
âI didn't say that!â Rumble positively beamed as you clutched the bottle. âI just didn't expect it, is all. Are you⊠wining and dining me right now?â
âIs dat a good thing or a bad thing? Your human movies said youâre âsposed to bring a little somethinâ somethinâ before, yâknow,â There was a sly, lopsided charm to his grin as he pulled the roll-up back down with his pede, clanking shut behind him, âBefore you let me run your charge for a change.â
âYou know, you don't have to try so hard to imâŠpress⊠me.â You trailed off, staring down at the bottle in your hands, then back up to him, then back at the bottle, then him again. When you made eye contact with him the slyness seemed to falter a bit, leaving behind something softer in his smile. Something a little more vulnerable.
 How did it take this long for it to click for you? He was wearing a bowtie, for Christâs sake.Â
âOh my God you're trying to impress me.â
âEh?â A fidgeting servo tugged at his bowtie- which appeared to be made of⊠an old seatbelt? âNah, you're crazy! Dis is jusâ what humans are âsposed to do!â
âOh my God you are!â
âH-Hey, what'd I say about you and gettinâ big ideas?â He tried to deter you, but your mind was already racing a mile a minute.Â
âDo you actually like me? Like, want to date me? Do alien robots even date, cause I didn't know th- MMPH!â
With a massive metal palm pressed to your chest, Rumble pushed you back into your adjustable work table, still sitting at a mostly upright angle from the last time you'd repaired him. The table against your back was cold, a sharp contrast to the radiating heat from his servo as he pinned you in place with his hand. His face was inches from yours as he leaned over you, visor now gleaming with frustration and embarrassment.
âYou can't get enough of dis, huh? Like pushinâ my buttons so much?â His servo pinned you down just a touch harder, forcing the air from your lungs in a breathy wheeze. ââOh, it's so fun to get Rumble all flustered! Lemme mess witâ his head a lil more!â Well maybe itâs Olâ Rumbleâs turn to do da messinâ around, huh? See how you like it when someoneâs toyinâ with your sensitive bits.â
He bared his dentae as he spoke, another hiss of steam curling around your cheeks. It made your hair stand on end. A hot thrill ran through you, and you fought the urge to let your knees knock together, confident that Rumble would be able to keep you in place with brute strength alone. You could feel his thumb smoothing back and forth across your shirt, and as he glanced down at his servo the glare of his visor lessened slightly.
â...Whyâs your fuel pump goinâ all crazy? You scared or somethinâ?â
You swallowed a mouthful of saliva, willing your foggy mind to function. âNot⊠Not scared, exactly.â
There were a few seconds of tense silence, before the wickedest, prideful grin crept back up across his faceplate.Â
âOh? Is dat so?â His other servo rose to grip the top edge of the table, fingers molding to fit the dent heâd left there previously as he loomed over you. âWell maybe we oughta do somethinâ about tha- SCRAP!â
His flirtations were cut short by the sharp SNAP of the stabilizing lock on your workbench failing under Rumbleâs weight and flipping 180 degrees over. The world pitched and spun as you tumbled backwards, yelping as the table flipped and deposited you upside-down on the floor, legs sticking akimbo in the air. From between your dangling feet you could see Rumble peering over you with his sly expression wiped off his visor by one of concern.
âSlag! I didn't crush your little pedes when you flipped, did I? Cause I don't no nothinâ about fixinâ up injured squishies.â
Miraculously, you had managed to make it through that ass-over-elbow fall without hitting your head on anything, or Rumble accidentally pinning your legs in place between his bulk and the table frame. âIâm alright! Just didn't expect it, Iâm okay.â
âDatâs good. Here lemme jusâ-â You felt a servo close around each of your ankles. With an effortless tug Rumble dragged you back up, tabletop tipping with you as it clunked back into its standard, flat position. Of course, this now left you with your ass and legs dangling off the edge of the workbench, Rumble standing between them with a servo resting on each knee. âBetter?â
You sucked in a breath, trying desperately not to look overeager. âBetter.â
âAh, slaggit allâŠâ But instead of putting his servos back on you (where you most certainly wanted them) Rumble began to scratch at the back of his neck, failing to meet your gaze. âGuess I ain't really cut out for all this⊠whaddaya call it? âWininâ and dininâ?â Can't even get my servos on ya without fragginâ it up.â
âHey, Iâm definitely not complaining.â You attempted a jokey tone, but it didn't seem to do much to dampen Rumbleâs current self-deprecation. You let the playful edge fall away as you dropped into something a bit softer. âI mean it though. You don't have to try to impress me. I mean it's appreciated! But, yâknow, I wouldn't have agreed to this if I wasn't already happy with the bot I was getting into it with.â
âHeh. Even if I end up crushinâ you a bit?â
âThat's a risk I'm willing to take.â
He barked out another laugh, accompanied by a coil of thin steam hissing through his gap-dentae. âWell I guess I better make it worth da risk, shouldn't I?â
He snuck a servo under each of your knees, pushing them apart as he rocked his modesty panel against your clothed core. You stifled a gasp, the ridge of sturdy metal almost hot against you, even through layers of cotton and denim. The slow roll of his hips made your own stutter up off of the table, desperate for further friction.
âCute. You like grindinâ on my panel? Should I make you bust jusâ like this?â
Despite the warm curl of arousal pooling in your stomach from the feeling, you knew this wouldn't be enough to get you off. Rumble seemed to know it too, letting out a low, pleased chuckle at your desperate expression.
âJusâ yankinâ yer crankcase, sweetspark. I got somethinâ a lot more fun in mind for tonight anyway. Dat is, if you'll start gettinâ dese off.â He hooked a digit through your belt loop and gave them an experimental tug.
âMmh, what, you donât want to take them off yourself?âÂ
âOh, Iâll gladly take âem off ya. Just figured youâd take care of dis part hereâŠâ His thick digits slid inward, ghosting over the button of your jeans. âSo I don't gotta rip âem off ya instead.â
You weighed your options. On one hand, the image of Rumble tearing denim apart with his bare servos as if it was no more than wet tissue paper was far more appealing to you than you would have originally expected. On the other hand⊠well, they were new jeans.
âI got it.â You mumbled, quietly filing the image away in your brain for later use as you undid your button and zipper. âCareful with th- Oh!â
With a sharp yank, Rumble tugged your jeans and underwear off your legs and let them crumple onto the floor. Shoving himself into the space between your knees, you could only barely make out the top of his helm over the slope of your stomach as he knelt before you, spreading your folds with two digits and⊠staring.
You waited for a response, a quip, the slow drag of metal over your slick hole, but were instead greeted with silence. Something prickled in the pit of your stomach as you fought the urge to squirm. In the back of your mind you vaguely remembered that you hadn't really gotten to see what Rumble was packing, and only now were you grappling with the truth that you were trying to have sex with a truly alien being. Would your bodies even be compatible? Was he weirded out right now? You tried to pull your knees together, only to be stopped by a rough servo shoving them back open.
â...It's rude to stare.â You muttered.
âEY! I ain't starinâ! I'm, uh, admirinâ. Datâs it.â There was a similar tightness to Rumbleâs voice. You shuddered as a thumb stroked the crease of your thigh. âSoft⊠Anâ it's supposed to be dat pink?â
âY-Yeah⊠that's, mmh, normal.â You shuddered at a wave of steam curling over your sensitive heat as he spread you again, visor locked on your twitching entrance.
âPrimus. And you're really gonna let me spike ya in this tiny little hole?â You could feel his thumb just brushing the rim and stifled a groan at the sudden, aching emptiness, the demand to be filled. âI don't wanna tear you in half or nothinâ.â
âItâll fit.â You whined, core tensing around nothing. âWeâre, unh, weâre pretty flexible. Câmon, RumbleâŠâ You forced your knees further apart, pushing your hips up into each of Rumble's far-too-light touches. His motor snarled in response, a massive hand gripping the inside of each of your thighs.
âSlag. You're really achinâ for it, arenâtcha?â His voice was lower than you'd ever heard it before, deep and resonant and primal. âBut I ain't gonna give it to ya dat easy, doll. Gotta make sure you can take it first.âÂ
He raised his helm for just a moment, just enough for you to get a peek of his beaming visor and his wicked, gap-toothed grin between your legs. Then he descended, lathing his thick, hot glossa up the length of your cunt. You choked on a gasp, his servos the only thing keeping your hips from rabbiting up off the table. It was hot, his glossa thick and sturdy and drooling with oral lubricant, a thin layer of silicon over sturdier metal mesh dragging up through your folds.
âEasy, sweetsparkâŠâ You weren't the only one enjoying themselves. Rumble's low, rattling groan pulsed through your cunt. You swore you could just barely make out him groaning your name but it was lost, muffled as he pressed his faceplate further between your legs and his servos shivered where they gripped your thighs. He was messy and all too eager, arousal and oral lubricant spilling down his chin as his glossa stroked you; slow, deliberate drags up your folds until you were left dripping. At the apex he found your clit and took it between his dermas, a teasing hum rattling throughout his engine that had you gasping, thighs clenching around his thick helm. Your legs jerked as warmth bloomed outward from your core, hips writhing against the onslaught of pleasure. Dragging across his back your heel caught in a rounded divot, pulling a raggedy vent through Rumbleâs dentae as his frame twitched.
ââMmpfh!~ E-Ey, watch da spindle. Itâs sensitive in dereâŠâ He groaned, face still pressed into your cunt, servos only dragging your ass further off the table in his efforts to get somehow even closer to you. But instead you dug your heel in harder, pressing into the ridged divot and twisting your leg. The internal ring jerked with a sudden CLICK CLICK CLICK, each pop of noise making Rumbleâs frame spasm like he'd just been electrocuted. âFRAG! Primus, thatâs- ghh!~â
âFeel good?â You teased, breathless. His optics beamed back up at you, an oscillating, glistening red as you caught another peek of his gap-toothed grin from between your legs.
âSo datâs how you wanna play dis? Don't say I didn't warn ya, doll.âÂ
You barely had a chance to respond before the noise was punched out of your lungs in a sharp whine as Rumble shoved a thick, metal digit into your drooling cunt. Achingly hard, unrelenting, he flexed it against your rippling walls as his dermas nestled themselves snugly around your clit. The hum reverberating through his frame coursed through your body like a wave, hands scrabbling desperately at his helm as the twinge of pain at the sudden intrusion melted into thick, syrupy pleasure.Â
âA-ah, fuck! Rumble, Rumble that's good, that's fucking good.~â Metal clanged as you lolled your head back against the table top, no longer able to keep it upright. Each drag of his digit, textured and ridged and unrelenting, sparked euphoria behind your eyelids. You felt every muscle in your body starting to prickle with pleasure, radiating outwards from your cunt and pooling in your head, your stomach, the tips of your toesâŠ
You all but whined when he drew his digit away, dermas releasing your swollen clit with a slick pop. âCâmon! Rumble!â
âYou want it dat bad, huh?â A shadow cast over your rumpled form as Rumble rose to his full height. From between your legs you could catch a glimpse of silver and blue panels fluttering and folding away, one of Rumbleâs servos hiking the underside of your knee and the other stroking the gap between his thigh and pelvic armor as his spike rose to full attention. Christ, he was huge, the thick metal rod draped across your lower stomach as he rocked experimentally against you. Each thrust had the tip drooling a translucent, pinkish fluid you remembered scrubbing from the back of your jumpsuit, hot and vaguely smelling of well-oiled machinery and pooling across your bare stomach.
Rumble, for his part, seemed to be as entranced as you felt, visor vibrant and flickering as he stared down at the place his frame rubbed against your soft, supple body. A harsh ex-vent punctuated each roll of his hips, steam coiling around the corners of his slack, open intake as he pulled back, letting the tip of his spike slide wetly through your folds.
âDatâs it, doll⊠You're gonna get exactly what you want. Gonna get you bouncinâ on dis spike, jusâ begginâ for itâŠâ His tone was low, entranced, just barely tinged with desperation. He dragged his tip through your folds again, and again, covering your cunt with his thick transfluid, making your breath hitch whenever he slid over your clit just right. You angled your hips up, guiding it right over your entrance, toes curling at the promise of pressure.Â
But before you could utter his name again, or any other placation or demand, you felt the heavy press, the slow, aching slide as he entered you. It teetered just on the edge of pain, muscles twinging at your inner thighs as you forced your legs wider to accommodate his bulky armor. And his spike offered just as little give, covered with a thin layer of silicon like his glossa but still distinctly sturdy, inflexible metal. Your walls rippled helplessly around the intrusion, stretched to a delicious degree as he bullied his way inside you.
About halfway to being fully sheathed in your heat he paused, visor hazy and unfocused, intake still hanging open as he vented steam. A servo was resting on each of your hips, but while one stayed in place the other slid up, up, bunching your shirt around his digits and shoving it up above your chest. There his servo paused on your side, his massive thumb stroking back and forth over your nipple, quickly pebbling under the cool metal.
âPrimus.â He breathed, distinctly softer than you ever remember hearing him before (and oh, if that didn't do just as much for your arousal as everything else). Finally, his hips began to move again, that intoxicating ache only beginning to border on near-unbearable when you could feel your ass and the backs of your thighs smushed against his pelvic armor. For another moment he paused, one servo cradling your hip and the other your chest.
Then he drew back, and thrust home.
The first thrust forced the air out of you in a desperate, sharp wheeze. This didnât slow him, not in the slightest, digits sinking into the plush meat of your hip as he jackhammered into you. Each thrust had the entire table rattling, the sharp clang of metal against metal where his thighs hit the dented tableâs edge. His quiet reverence had given way to an onslaught of erotic babble, visor locked on your face as it twisted and furrowed in pleasure.
âTakinâ it so fraggin well⊠Youâre just made for takinâ my spike, arenâtcha?â He scooped his servo under your hip and lifted you further up, all but folding you in half as he loomed over you. His dermas brushed the curve of your jaw, just below your ear, and you could feel the heat of his ex-vent making your skin tingle. âYouâve jusâ been waitinâ for me to frag you stupid, plug up that achinâ valve til you canât think of nothinâ else.â
âMmmhâŠ~ Itâs so big.â You slurred, thighs slick with sweat and slipping on his plating as you struggled to lock your ankles in the small of his back. His frame shivered like an electric current ran through it, clutching you somehow even closer to his massive chassis.
âNghhâŠ~ Yeah? You love dis fat spike, donâtcha? Say it.â
âI love it!~â
âYou want me to spill my load in this tight little valve, donâtcha?â
âPlease!â
âAghh, slag! Y-Youâre gonna get it, sweetspark. Youâre gonna take it all, j-just-mmfh!~â His vents were ragged and desperate, thrusts stuttering as he neared his release. You squealed as his thumb found your clit, rubbing the swollen bud in rough, tight circles. Euphoria was buzzing throughout your body, the ache of your lower back buried beneath the onslaught of pleasure and heat coiling in the pit of your stomach and blooming out through your limbs, legs shaking, hands trembling.
Sparks exploded behind your eyelids as your orgasm washed over you, hips jerking weakly against Rumbleâs. There was no give to his spike at all, thick and steady and unyielding as your pussy squeezed and pulsed around it. You felt a flood of something molten spill into your core, filling you nearly to the point of aching as it spilled out around the tight ring of your hole around his base. Rumbleâs frame stuttered, jittering, a harsh crackle of static and mechanical chatter pouring from his drooling intake where it was still buried in the crook of your neck. Finally, finally, his frame grew still. The only noise between the two of you were your shared, harsh breaths and the low churn of the occasional car driving past outside.
âMmmmnnghhâŠâ Rumble groaned, shifting his hips to pull his shrinking spike from your core as he rose unsteadily back to an upright position. You could feel transfluid dribbling from your hole as he tucked himself back away- thick, translucent globs spilling down the insides of your thighs and hitting the floor with a splatter. His engine gave a little, stuttering snarl despite himself as he dragged his digit tips through the shimmering line along one of your inner thighs. âI oughta take a picture of disâŠâ
âDonât you dare.â You kicked weakly at his servo, legs now tingling with static as blood rushed back to them. He barked out a sharp laugh, effortlessly batting your foot aside. His servo rested atop your lower stomach and gave a teasing press, and you shivered as more globs of thick transfluid drooled from your cunt. âJerk.â
âEyy, you love it!â
âUnfortunately.â There was no real bite to your tone, you could tell by the way Rumble grinned. âThink you can give me a hand getting over to the bathroom before my knees give out?â
âDepends. Does dat count as you owinâ me a favor?â

ă ⊠One of your girls .⊠ă
[Theodore Nott x reader]
Summary: Theodore Nott was the love of my life, the one I'd trade my whole world for. But this summer, I yearned for a different role in his life, even if it meant becoming just one of his girls
Warning:fluff,angst,smut, oral (f!received), fingering, lying about virginity,(+18)
Words:8k
In this world of labels there are , "good boys" and "bad boys," Theodore Nott existed in a category all his own. like devil in disguise, but manlier. And definitely hotter by like a thousand degrees .
As I stood there, captivated by his interaction with a Gryffindor girl, two stark realizations crashed over me. First, I desperately needed to refine my Marauder mischief skills. And More importantly, I needed to bridge the chasm between myself and Theodore. This summer, I wouldn't just be his little sister's best friend; I craved a different role in his life.
Lana's voice, sharp and cutting through my reverie, jolted me back to reality. "Y/N, are you with me?"
"Forgive me, my thoughts wandered," I muttered, composing myself with practiced neutrality.
âI was just saying, I really want Dad to approve this environmental camp," she continued, her enthusiasm undeterred.
"Absolutely," I agreed, forcing a smile. "Those Larus birds undeniably deserve all the protection we can offer." However, my gaze remained tethered to Theodore and his seemingly animated conversation with the Gryffindor girl.
"Right?" Lana beamed. "Perhaps Theo or Christian could help us sway Father?" Lana suggested hopefully.
"An excellent suggestion," I managed, a barbed comment forming on my tongue.
Perhaps your brother would engage in more productive activities than fraternizing with the Gryffindor girl. But I swallowed the retort.
"Christian can be a bit overprotective, bless his heart," Lana began, "but I do believe the 'puppy-dog eyes' technique, as he calls it, might work on Theo," Lana mused cheerfully.believe
A pang of curiosity shot through me. Could this "puppy eyes" technique be effective on Theo as well? I stifled the urge to inquire.
As if sensing my scrutiny, I almost choked on a gasp when he turned, our eyes locking for a beat too long. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, he resumed his conversation with the Gryffindor girl. My mind conjured elaborate â and disturbing â daydreams of her demise.
"Are you alright?" Lana's voice held a hint of worry.
"Perfect," I muttered, the word a lie heavy on my tongue. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the backdrop of my escalating jealousy.
"Then let's proceed," she declared, taking my hand in hers.
The world became a blur as we walked, the proximity to Theo and his unwelcome companion amplifying my agitation. My pulse pounded in my ears, a relentless drumbeat against the backdrop of muted classroom sounds.
Finally, we passed them. Still, Theo's gaze lingered on me, a silent connection that sent a wave of heat through my body. Just as abruptly, , Then in a move that stole the breath from my lungs, the Gryffindor girl cupped Theodore's jaw, pulling him down for a rough, aggressive kiss. I averted my eyes, a wave of nausea washing over me.
â EWWW â Lana muttered, mirroring my own disgust.
âPerhaps," I ventured, my voice tight with unspoken emotions, "you should utilize those puppy dog eyes sooner before he gets distracted again â
Potions became a blurry mess of bubbling cauldrons and swirling fumes. Snape's usual scathing commentary faded into the background, as my mind replayed the scene on loop: Theo, his lips locked with the Gryffindor girl, a stranger who somehow managed to snag his attention. Her triumphant smirk as she pulled away felt branded onto my eyelids.
Jealousy gnawed at me like a rogue Flobberworm. Every stolen glance his way felt like a betrayal, a secret message only I could decipher. Was this what Lana meant by "puppy eyes"? Because right now, all I wanted to do was unleash my inner dragon and set the damn girl ablaze.
The Great Hall echoed with the boisterous chatter of lunchtime. As I joined my friends at the Slytherin table, a familiar warmth washed over me â camaraderie, yes, but something more potent simmered beneath the surface. My stolen glance at Theo, however, sent a jolt of conflicting emotions. He was already there, his dark eyes locked on mine for a lingering moment before he averted his gaze.
A playful tug on my braid brought me back to reality. Lana, a mischievous glint in her eyes, was trying to get me out of my misery that she canât quite understand what gets me into
Mattheo, being his usual blunt self, decided to stir up some trouble, "Just want to make sure the rumors are true. Did our little Y/N break Cedric Diggory's heart?"he said, causing Theo's gaze to intensify on me, igniting a mix of excitement and nervousness within me.
"Sorry, what?" I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper.
"It's okay, y/n, we can see that you're at that age for those kinds of things. What puberty did to you can't go unnoticed,"
My cheeks burned a furious red. The air crackled with tension as Blaise's words hung in the air.
Before I could retort, a cold fury replaced Theo's usual nonchalance. "Shut the hell up, Zabini, before I make you."
His sharp tone silenced the table. I stole a glance at him, he looked relaxed despite his tone , his eyes locked in a silent battle with Blaise. And that was well- very awkward
Matteo, unfazed by Theo's outburst, pressed on. "Back to the broken heart thing, did you really ditch a date with Diggory?"
My cheeks burned under the scrutiny of the table. "It wasn't like that, he understood," I stammered, desperately trying to salvage the situation. "I just said I had to study."
Lana, oblivious to my boiling frustration, jumped in. "No, no, she's just being humble! Cedric was head over heels! He was moping around for days after she said no, his heart practically shattered. Still he can't seem to take his eyes off her today."
I shot her a glare that could curdle milk, but she just winked back, clearly enjoying the drama.
"Why'd you turn him down, then?" Blaise pressed, his amusement evident.
Theo, however, surprised everyone. "She's still too young for that," he muttered. Really? The audacity! My hand twitched, a silent promise of violence aimed at his handsome but infuriating face.
My temper flared. "First of all," I stated, fixing him with a hard stare, "I'm only a year younger than you. Second, I said no because it wouldn't be fair to either of us. I already have feelings for someone else."
A collective gasp rippled through the group.
"You never told me that!" Lana exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise.
"No," I said, trying to project a confidence I didn't entirely feel. My gaze locked with Theo's, daring him to look away. "I was planning on telling you⊠tonight."
"Who is this mystery man?" Matteo leaned forward, his tone laced with curiosity. "Do we know him?"
"No, you don't," I lied smoothly, a flicker of defiance sparking in my chest. "He graduated."
A wave of disappointment washed over Blaise's face. "Oooh, Y/N, you sneaky minx! Who knew you had that in you?"
The Hogwarts Express rumbled to a halt, signaling the end of the semester and the glorious (or dreaded, depending on who you asked) freedom of summer. Bidding farewell to Lana, whose eyes held a knowing glint that made me sweat, I trudged off the train, eager to reach the familiar comfort of my own home.
Living just two houses away from Theo and Lana meant constant proximity, which could be either a blessing or a curse depending on how things unfolded. The lie about a mysterious older boyfriend sat heavy in my stomach. It was a desperate attempt to buy myself some breathing room, a chance to navigate the confusing maze of emotions swirling within me.
The oppressive heat of summer hung heavy in the air, mirroring the nervous knot in my stomach. Lana's father had finally approved the conservation camp, and while I was happy for her, a pang of disappointment shot through me. That meant less time to figure things out with Theo.
Taking a deep breath I slipped into a summer dress â the kind that hugged my curves perfectly and left a trail of cool air on my skin.
Taking a deep breath, I crossed the two houses separating our homes and knocked on Theo's door. My heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs. What was I even doing here?
The door creaked open, revealing Mrs. Finch, the Nott family housekeeper, her face etched with surprise. "Miss Y/N? What a surprise! Mr. Theo is the only one home, I'm afraid. Miss Lana's still out."
My cheeks flushed crimson. This was not the grand entrance I'd envisioned. "Oh!" I feigned surprise. "Goodness, how forgetful of me. I just realized I left something in Lana's room. Terribly sorry to bother you, Mrs. Finch."
The housekeeper's expression softened. "No trouble at all, dear. Just head on up, third door on the right."
With a mumbled thank you, I practically sprinted up the stairs, my heart thundering in my chest. This impulsive, poorly-planned visit was already spiraling out of control. Would he see through my flimsy excuse? Most importantly, what was I going to say to him once I was alone with him under the guise of borrowing something from Lana?
The familiar chaos of Lana's room swam before my eyes. Clothes littered the floor, forgotten textbooks sat precariously on the desk,I donât know why she insisted that no one else but her clean her room when she barley do it
"Are you lost?"
The sound of Theo's voice cut through the mental fog. I spun around, heart hammering against my ribs like a frantic hummingbird. He stood in the doorway, leaning against the frame, his gaze lingering on me a beat too long.
And then, his eyes scanned me from head to toe, a slow, deliberate sweep that sent a jolt of heat straight to my core. Merlin's beard, I wanted to be on my knees (respectfully, of course). That summer dress, the impulsive visit - everything suddenly felt like a terrible, wonderful mistake.
"N-no," I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. "I, uh, just came to⊠borrow something from Lana." The lie tasted like ashes in my mouth, but I couldn't bring myself to confess my real motive. Not yet, anyway.
Theo pushed himself off the doorframe, taking a slow step closer. The air crackled with a tension that had nothing to do with the summer heat. "Is that right?" he drawled, his voice a low rumble that sent shivers down my spine. His eye held an unreadable depth that made my breath hitch.
"Yes," I managed, forcing myself to meet his gaze. "She mentioned a book on⊠Larus migration patterns? I thought I might borrow it for some summer reading."
He raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement playing on his lips. "Larus migration patterns, huh? Sounds like a fascinating read for a summer day."
His words were laced with a double meaning, and a blush crept up my cheeks. Was he teasing me? Did he suspect my real reason for being here?
The silence stretched, thick and heavy. My carefully constructed plan was falling apart faster than a poorly brewed Amortentia potion. But before I could stammer out another excuse, Theo surprised me with a soft chuckle.
"Well," he drawled, his voice softer now, "since Lana's not here, perhaps I could help you find the book."
The breath caught in my throat. Here I was, caught red-handed (or rather, red-dressed), and yet, Theo's amusement was oddly disarming. His casual demeanor didn't quite match the intensity I'd glimpsed in his eyes moments ago.
"Really?" I squeaked, my voice barely above a whisper. The air crackled between us, charged with a sudden shift in energy.
A slow smirk played on his lips. "Yeah, why not? Did you want someone else to help you, maybe?"
He took a slow step forward, his presence filling the room. I instinctively leaned back, my back hitting the wall with a soft thud. A thrill shot through me as his eyes lingered on my face, a storm brewing beneath the surface.
"He's not here, though," he drawled, the amusement leaving his voice. "So bad."
Confusion clouded my mind. "He?" I stammered.
Theo's brows furrowed. "Oh, your older, hot crush? That's what you said, right? So you're here all dressed up and making excuses for nothing." The smile that had been playing on his lips vanished completely.
A wave of panic washed over me. "Are you kidding me?" I blurted out, unable to contain my frustration. Heat crept up my cheeks. "Are you that blind?" just then I realized the depth of my mistake. He thought my crush was Christopher, his own brother!
He was close now, so close I could feel the warmth radiating from his body. His hands braced themselves on either side of my face, caging me in. My breath caught in my throat.
"Trapped?" he murmured, his voice a low growl.
If looks could kill, I would have been dead. Theo's expression was a mix of anger, hurt, and confusion. I reached out hesitantly, my fingers brushing against his cheek. Thankfully, he didn't pull away.
"It's not Christopher," I whispered, my eyes darted drawn to the tempting curve of his lips.
"Oh yeah?" he challenged, his voice husky.
I couldn't hold back any longer. This was it. With a surge of desperation, I cupped his face with one hand, the other finding its way to the back of his neck and I kissed him.
It was a moment of pure, unadulterated passion. I was kissing Theo it wasnât a dream , feeling the heat and intensity of the moment wash over me. My lips on his, our breaths mingling, it was my first kiss, but that fact faded into insignificance. He was the only thing that mattered.
Panic briefly gripped me when he didn't immediately respond to the kiss. I pulled away, searching his eyes for any sign of reciprocation, my heart pounding in my chest.
"Fuck," he muttered, pulling me closer, lifting me effortlessly until my legs were wrapped around his waist. His kiss this time was harder, more urgent, our bodies pressed against the wall as he devoured my lips.
It was a hungry kiss, filled with raw desire and longing. I moaned into his mouth, unable to contain the pleasure that surged through me. As his tongue sought entry, I responded eagerly, my hand finding its way to his shoulder, the other tangling in his hair. It felt intoxicatingly good, every touch sending sparks of pleasure coursing through me.
He didn't stop, his kisses growing more intense, more mind-blowing with each passing second. I felt myself teetering on the edge of something powerful, something I had never experienced before.
When he finally pulled away, our lips still touching, he whispered, "We shouldn't do that." I leaned in, wanting more, desperate to recapture the fire he had ignited within me. But this time, he stopped me with a gentle hand on my cheek.
"We shouldn't," he repeated, his words laced with a battle between desire and control.
" You ... donât want this?" I asked, desperation creeping into my voice.
"Fucking hell," he muttered, before claiming my lips once more in a kiss that left me breathless and wanting more.
He kept kissing me, then his lips dipped lower, trailing a path of fire down my neck. Each touch ignited a new spark within me, a desperate need for more. But just as quickly, he pulled away, his hand clamping over my mouth the moment a moan escaped my lips.
He released me with a ragged breath, fingers brushing my lips â a touch that felt both accidental and deliberate. "Don't fucking let me do that again," he growled, his expression unreadable.
"Theo..." My voice trembled, a choked whisper lost in the deafening silence.
"Don't," he cut me off, his voice laced with a raw emotion that sent shivers down my spine.
I ignored him, the dam of my emotions threatening to burst. "No, Theo, I do like you so much! No, I think I loveâ"
He slammed his hand down on the nearest surface, the sharp crack echoing through the room. "Stop talking! Stop fucking talking and get out!"
My heart plummeted to my stomach. I stared at him, disbelief etching lines on my face. This couldn't be happening. This wasn't the answer I'd envisioned.
"I said, get out!" he roared, his voice raw with something akin to despair.
My body reacted before my mind could catch up. Fear, a primal and cold sensation, gripped me. I couldn't stay there, not with that look in his eyes. Tears blurring my vision, I turned and fled. I ran blindly out of the room, my feet pounding against the wooden floorboards. I didn't stop until I was out of the house, gasping for breath on the front porch steps. My legs felt like jelly, my vision obscured by a torrent of tears.
After four days of crying in my room, watching romcoms, and indulging in ice cream, I had practically shut myself off from the outside world. Ignoring calls and messages, I had no intention of leaving my room anytime soon.
But then, my phone started ringing, and the name that flashed on the screen caught my attention â Blaise Zabini. Why was he calling me? I debated whether to answer or not, but curiosity got the better of me.
"Hello?" I answered tentatively.
"Hello, beautiful lady. What are you doing tonight?" Blaise's smooth voice flowed through the phone, surprising me.
"Did you mistake my number for someone else?" I asked, slightly bewildered.
Blaise chuckled. "No, Y/N, I'm calling you. There's a party tonight, and you should come."
I couldn't believe it. Blaise inviting me to a party? It seemed surreal, especially considering how distant I had been lately. "Is this some kind of dare?" I half-jokingly asked, recalling how Lana and I had once begged to be included in their circle last year.
"No, of course not. Lana is away at camp, and I figured you must be bored. Plus, you're old enough now. So, are you coming?" Blaise explained.
I was shocked but managed to say, "Yes."
"Good, I'll pick you up," he said confidently.
"Um, what should I wear?" I asked, feeling a bit out of my depth.
"Something hot for sure," Blaise replied, causing my mouth to drop open. Surely, there must be more to it than just small talk and an unexpected invitation.
I dragged myself out of bed, feeling a bit more alive than I had in days. The prospect of going out, even to a party, was both daunting and oddly exciting. I made my way to the bathroom, deciding that a hot shower would do wonders for my mood.
The water cascaded down my skin, washing away some of the heaviness that had settled over me. I washed my hair, taking extra care to make it look presentable. After all, Blaise had mentioned something about looking hot, and I wanted to at least make an effort.
Once out of the shower, I wrapped myself in a fluffy towel and stood in front of the mirror, contemplating my options. My wardrobe seemed to mock me with its array of dresses, each one a reminder of happier times. But tonight was different. I wanted to feel good, even if just for a few hours.
My eyes settled on a vibrant off-shoulder red dress, short enough to be playful yet elegant. It had been a while since I'd worn something so bold, but tonight felt like the perfect occasion. Slipping into the dress, I couldn't help but admire how it hugged my curves in all the right places.
With my hair styled in loose waves cascading down my shoulders, I turned to my makeup. Opting for a subtle smokey eye and a bold red lip to match the dress, I added a touch of highlighter to give my skin a healthy glow.
Just as I finished applying the last stroke of mascara, my phone rang again. It was Blaise, letting me know that he was waiting outside. Taking a deep breath, I grabbed my purse and headed out.
A slow smirk spread across Blaise's face as he took in my entire outfit. "Damn, Y/N," he said, his voice dropping a cool octave. "You look goodness. Tonight, you're not just breaking hearts, you're shattering them."
"Thanks," I managed, trying to project an air of confidence I wasn't entirely sure I possessed.
The drive to the bar was a blur of conversation and upbeat music. Blaise gave me a heads-up that this was a different scene than the usual hangouts Lana and I frequented. No sticky floors or questionable punch here. This place oozed sophistication with a healthy dose of trendy vibes.
The closer we got, the bigger the butterflies became. "Just a heads-up," Blaise said casually, "Theo's gonna be there."
My eyes widened like headlights caught on high beams. "Why are you telling me this?" I blurted, my voice shaky.
Blaise held up his hands in mock surrender. "Whoa there, little firecracker. Easy now. Listen, I know what happened," he said, his tone gentle but firm.
He paused, his gaze meeting mine in the rearview mirror. "You've got two choices tonight," he continued, his voice low and serious. "Option one: Go in there, drown your sorrows in overpriced cocktails, and cry yourself to sleep like you have been for the past week. Option two: You walk in that door, head held high, and have the best damn night of your life. Show him what a colossal mistake he made. But more importantly, have fun. Forget Theo for the night. You deserve it."
My initial suspicion flared. How did Blaise know about Theo? Did Theo tell everyone, maybe even paint some twisted narrative of what happened? The worst-case scenario played in my head: everyone knowing I'd forced myself on him. I pushed those thoughts down, refusing to let them take root.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked, my voice laced with a hint of suspicion.
Blaise raised an eyebrow, feigning offense. "Oh, the nerve! Here I am, trying to be the ever-so-charming host, and you accuse me of⊠niceness?" He placed a hand dramatically over his chest. "Honestly, Y/N, I'm deeply wounded."
I couldn't help but laugh, the sound light and genuine. It felt good, a welcome change from the constant ache in my chest. As we pulled into the bar's crowded parking lot, I spotted a familiar face â the Gryffindor girl from school, the one with a permanent case of RBF.
Suddenly, the prospect of a night out filled with new faces and zero Theo drama seemed a whole lot more appealing.
"Alright," I announced, a determined glint in my eyes. "Going inside and having fun sounds way better."
Blaise's smirk widened. "Now you're talking," he said, finally pulling the car to a stop. "Let's do this."
We pushed through the heavy bar doors, the sudden wave of loud music and flashing lights hitting me like a physical blow. My eyes squinted against the assault, struggling to adjust to the dim, pulsing atmosphere. The air was thick with the scent of sweat, spilled alcohol, and something vaguely floral that I couldn't quite identify.
Then I saw it.
Bodies. Everywhere bodies. Couples intertwined on couches, limbs tangled in a way that left little to the imagination. People grinding against each other on the dance floor, clothes barely clinging to their sweaty forms. My mouth fell open in a silent scream.
"Are you kidding me, Blaise?" I shrieked, my voice barely audible over the pounding music. "Did you invite me to an orgy ?"
Blaise chuckled, his earlier cool persona replaced by something a little more⊠suggestive. "Not quite, sweetheart," he drawled. "But if you're interested, I know a guyâŠ"
Blaise winked, then turned his attention to a group of women across the room. My stomach churned. Had he brought me here just to ditch me?
"Where are you going?" I demanded, grabbing his arm before he could slink away.
He looked back at me, a sly smile playing on his lips. "You wouldn't want to know, sweetheart. Trust me." Before I could argue, he was weaving his way through the crowd, leaving me stranded in a sea of strangers.
Panic clawed at my throat. I was completely out of my element, suffocated by the throbbing music and the overt displays of affection. Trying to navigate the throng of people felt like trying to walk through a mosh pit. Elbows jabbed, drinks sloshed, and muttered curses collided with the music. Every step forward felt like a battle.
Just when I was on the verge of tears, a familiar voice cut through the din.
"Y/N? Is that you?"
I snapped my head towards the source of the sound, relief washing over me like a tidal wave. There, standing a few feet away, was Cedric Diggory, a friendly face from Hogwarts. He looked as surprised to see me as I was to see him.
"Oh, thank God!" I exclaimed, practically throwing myself at him. He caught me with a smile, a steady presence in the swirling chaos.
"What are you doing here?" I blurted out, clinging to him like a lifeline. "I came with Blaise, but⊠well, he kinda ditched me."
Cedric's smile faltered slightly, but he recovered quickly. "Don't worry about him," he said reassuringly. "I can take you home if you want."
The offer was tempting, a safe haven from the overwhelming sensory overload. But then my gaze fell across the crowded room, landing on Theo. He was⊠well, making out with someone. Not just anyone, but two someones. His hands were everywhere, his lips moving feverishly between two very enthusiastic girls.
The sight of him sent a fresh wave of anger and hurt coursing through me. I wanted to scream, to cry, to set the whole place on fire. But instead, I did something completely unexpected.
"Actually," I said, my voice surprisingly steady, "Do you want to dance?"
A slow smile spread across my face as Cedric offered his hand. Relief momentarily eclipsed the anger simmering beneath the surface. He led me onto the dance floor, his touch light and hesitant on my waist. Compared to Theo's rough possessiveness, it felt⊠foreign.
"Theodora Nott," I muttered under my breath, the name a bitter curse on my tongue. Every fiber of my being ached to tear my gaze away from Theo.
Cedric's breath tickled my ear as he spoke, but my mind was elsewhere. Then, our eyes met. Theo's. His face contorted in a mixture of surprise and disbelief, like he'd seen a ghost.
Theo seemed momentarily speechless, his jaw clenched tight. Then, in a move that surprised even me, he shoved the two girls aside, their confused faces momentarily forgotten. He barged his way through the crowd, a determined scowl on his face.
"Diggory," he spat, his voice laced with venom.
"Nott," Cedric replied, a flicker of confusion crossing his features.
"Think I can take this from here?" Theo said, his gaze never leaving mine. "Thanks for keeping Y/N company."
Cedric glanced between us, a hesitant frown creasing his brow. Knowing I needed to act fast, I plastered a sickly sweet smile on my face.
"It's alright, Cedric," I chirped, my voice dripping with fake sincerity. "Theo's here now, and you know, practically like a brother to me."
Theo's jaw clenched tight, his anger barely contained. It fueled a fire within me, a perverse satisfaction at seeing him squirm. Cedric, oblivious to the undercurrent of tension, simply nodded and melted back into the crowd.
As soon as he was out of sight, I reached out and lightly touched Theo's arm. "Hello, brother," I purred, the word laced with mockery. "Enjoying yourself?"
He swatted my hand away, his voice tight with irritation. "What the hell do you think you're doing here?"
"Dancing, drinking, you know ," I replied, my voice light and carefree. "Hopefully getting some⊠you know, without having to share." I couldn't resist adding a pointed jab at his earlier display of affection.
A muscle ticked in his jaw. "That's not the right answer, Y/N."
"Oh, so now you're the authority on what's right and wrong?" I scoffed. "Just get lost and let me enjoy my night."
"Not happening," he growled, stepping closer. For a fleeting moment, I swear his eyes flickered to my lips, sending a tremor of something unexpected through me.
"Not happening," he countered, his eyes flickering towards my lips for a fleeting moment.
A shiver ran down my spine, but I refused to let it show. "So you get to have fun, but I can't? Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you were having a blast with your little⊠(here I paused, searching for the perfect comedic insult) âŠbuffet." I forced a smile, pushing myself away from him in a playful, yet firm, manner.
He didn't get a chance to retort before a gasp escaped my lips. A clumsy dancer, fueled by who-knows-what concoction, careened into me, spilling the entirety of his drink down my dress. The scarlet fabric clung to my body like a second skin, leaving little to the imagination.
Theo let out a frustrated curse under his breath. "Damn it, Y/N, and your damn stubborn red dresses ," he muttered, before grabbing my arm and pulling me away from the crowd. His gaze darted around frantically, before settling on a nearby staircase.
The world spun a little faster as Theo pulled me through the crowd, his grip tight on my arm. We navigated through bodies and flashing lights, finally ending up near a darkened stairway leading upwards. He pushed open a door, revealing a large, beautifully furnished room â a stark contrast to the party raging outside.
"Stay here," he instructed, his voice low and urgent.
I rolled my eyes, annoyed at his bossiness but strangely comforted by his protectiveness.My mind was still reeling from the sudden alcohol shower, my thoughts fuzzy and disconnected.
Theo's presence alone was overwhelming. All the anger, hurt, and confusion I'd been feeling seemed to coalesce into a potent cocktail of emotions. My mind, however, wasn't processing things clearly. The red dress clinging to my body, the sting of Theo's earlier words, the memory of seeing him with those girls â it all swirled together in a chaotic mess.
Ignoring the instruction to stay put, I crossed the room and locked the door with a satisfying click. Grasping the hem of the ruined dress, I ripped it upwards in one swift motion. There, standing before a giant mirror, was me in all my red lace glory â bra and panties matching the ruined dress.
Theo stepped in, a black t-shirt clutched in his hand. His gaze locked with mine, a slow burn spreading across his face. He scanned me from head to toe, his eyes lingering on the shocking red lace bra and matching panties that were now my only attire.
For a moment, the room seemed to shrink, the music fading into a distant hum. The air crackled with a tension that sent a jolt of electricity through me.
"You're drunk, aren't you?" he finally managed, his voice rough with a mix of concern and something else â something deeper.
The question snapped me out of my haze. A defiant chuckle escaped my lips. "Not a single Shot," I replied, my voice surprisingly steady as I walked towards him.
The t-shirt fluttered to the floor, forgotten. His eyes were fixed on me, his face a mask of conflicting emotions. I stopped just inches from him, tilting my head up to meet his gaze.
"What are you doing?" he whispered, his face just inches from mine. The heat of his body radiated against mine, intensifying the buzz in my head.
"We don't have to be in love," I slurred, my heart pounding a frantic rhythm against my ribs. A part of me knew this was insane, But another part just craved his attention, his touch.
All I craved was his attention, his touch.
"I just wanna be⊠one of your girls tonight," I continued, my voice barely above a whisper. A shiver ran down my spine as the reality of my words hit me. Was I really saying this? But then I remembered Theo with those other girls, the way they would whisper about him at school, the way they boasted about their "experiences" with him.
Suddenly, a strange sense of defiance mixed with a simmering desire fueled my next words. "I want what you give them," I confessed, my eyes locked on his. "The kind of thing they brag about to their friends for years."
He reached out, a single finger brushing against my cheek. My breath hitched at the contact.
"Give me tough love donât hold back," I whispered, my voice thick with emotion. "Push me, choke me. Show me what it's like to be⊠yours even if itâs just for a night ." My voice dropped even lower. "Anything," I whispered, "just don't pretend you don't want me."
My words hung heavy in the air, the audacity of them making my cheeks burn. But before I could even think about backtracking, Theo surged forward, scooping me up into his arms. A gasp escaped my lips as he pulled me close, the familiar scent of his cologne washing over me.
He lifted me, wrapping my legs around his waist as he pulled me close. My hands instinctively found purchase on his broad shoulders, the heat radiating through his shirt setting my skin alight.
"That's wrong," he rasped, his lips brushing dangerously close to mine.
"It's not," I insisted, the defiance laced with a desperate plea.
He didn't answer. Instead, he kissed me. It was a hard kiss, desperate and hungry, as if he was trying to erase everything that had come between us. My body melted against his, all thoughts fleeing my mind except for the fierce press of his lips against mine.
He carried me across the room, depositing me onto a large table. pulled away after what felt like an eternity, his eyes blazing with an intensity that sent a tremor through me. He pushed a stray strand of hair from my face, his eyes searching mine. "I'd hold onto something, if I were you." he murmured, his voice thick with possessiveness that both terrified and excited me.
My fingers brushed against his face, his warm breath ghosting over my lips as he leaned down.
His hand moved down my body, a slow, deliberate caress that sent shivers erupting across my skin. His fingers grazed my thighs, a light touch that somehow managed to ignite a fire within me. My breath hitched, a moan escaping my lips as desire battled with the remnants of reason.
His lips brushed against my ear, his voice a husky whisper against my sensitive skin. "Choose a word," he murmured, his breath sending shivers down my spine.
I nodded numbly, unsure if I would even be able to speak if I needed to.
"Red," I managed to whisper, my voice laced with desire as his lips trailed along my neck, eliciting a soft moan from deep within me.
"Fucking red again," he muttered, his lips pressing against my skin with a hunger that ignited a fire within me. I arched my neck, offering him more access, more of me.
"You use this if it gets too much, understood?" he said, his voice commanding. I nodded eagerly.
He continued to kiss my jaw and neck with an intensity that left me breathless. My hand tangled in his hair, urging him closer. When he bit down on a sensitive spot on my neck, I couldn't contain a scream of pleasure.
His hand cupped my core through my panties, and I instinctively gripped his shoulder, my body responding to his touch. I had never experienced anything like this before, but I couldn't admit that to him.
"Have you done anything like this before?" he asked, his breath hot against my earlobe. I moaned softly as I lied, nodding in response.
"Yes," I whispered, my voice barely audible over the rush of sensations.
He parted my legs forcefully and held my jaw in his hand, locking eyes with mine. "You did?" he questioned, a hint of possessiveness in his tone.
I nodded again, unable to speak as desire coursed through me.
"He's dead, whoever he is," he declared, sending a shiver down my spine. His fingers slipped inside my panties, and I gasped at the sudden intimacy, my body responding eagerly to his touch.
"Theo," I managed to gasp out, my heart pounding in my chest.
"Yes, baby?" he responds, his voice deep and husky. The way he says "baby" sends shivers down my spine. It feels too good, too right, felt like a sweet caress to my soul.
"You can do whatever you want to me," i whispered, my fingers tracing his jawline. "Anything."
He responds by parting my lips with his finger leaning down to take my lower lips into his kiss. It's so soft, so gentle, that I feel like I've been transported to heaven. His tongue enters my mouth at the same time he touches my clit, and I moan.
He rubs my clit in gentle circles, and I hold onto his shoulder, digging my nails into his skin. He pulls away from the kiss, my lips are still on his, and I moan into his mouth. His tongue continues to explore mine as his fingers work their magic.
"Oh Merlin," I cry out, and he smiles against my cheek.
"Not Merlin, baby, but me," he whispered against my cheek, his touch sending me spiraling further into ecstasy. He added a finger inside me, and I cried out, my back arching with pleasure.
"Fuck, you're so tight. You sure you've done this before?" he questioned, a hint of disbelief in his voice. I've done this before, in my dreams, with him. I bite my lip to keep from moaning too loudly, and he looks displeased with that.
"Keep making those sounds, I love the sound of your voice," he says, and I do it again. He stops kissing meâ you did that again and i stop, understood? â I nodded immediately.
Heâs not done yet. He pushed my bra strap down, placing kisses along the exposed skin.
His fingers start to move faster, as he kissed me, swallowing all my moans. He adds another finger, and I scream, my back arching again.
I bite my lips without even noticing and he slowed his movements I hold onto his hand fast, afraid he'll stop.
"Please don't stop, I'll be good, I promise," I beg, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Fuck, say it again," his gaze intense with desire.
"I'll be good, Theo," I repeated, my voice a desperate plea.
He moves his fingers faster in response, hitting a spot inside me that makes me see stars. He keeps hitting it, over and over again, while circling my clit.
"I'm going to--" I try to say, but I can't finish my sentence. Pleasure consumes me, and I scream his name. He plays with my hair, pushing my tears and hair away from my face.
"I know, sweet girl," he murmured, his words pushing me over the edge into a mind-blowing orgasm."So sweet, so good."
He watched me with intense desire as I came, his fingers never ceasing their movements. "And so fucking hot," he added as he looked at me while experiencing his own release.
âyou look so pretty when youâre cumming for me,â he murmured, placing soft kisses on my neck
I breathed heavily as he pulled his hands from me, bringing his fingers to his mouth and savoring my cum. "You taste so sweet, baby," he murmured, his gaze locked on mine.
He cupped my face, placing soft kisses on my lips, again and again. "So sweet, so angelic,"
With a gentle touch, he lifted me from the table, carrying me softly and placing me on the bed. His face was close to mine, his nose brushing against mine, and he kissed me deeply. I moaned as he opened my bra clips, leaning down to place a soft kiss on my jawline, then my collarbone.
He traced his way down, kissing every inch of my body until he reached my breasts. I closed my eyes as he put a soft kiss on them, my heart pounding in my chest.
"Eyes on me, baby. Don't shut them," he commanded, and I nodded, my breath heavy. I looked at him, my love for him overwhelming.
With each lick and kiss, I moaned louder, the pleasure building with every touch, and I arched my back, my fingers gripping the sheets.
With a final lick, he traced his way down, kissing every inch of my body. He kissed my stomach and looked up at me, his gaze intense.
He parted my legs, the sight of him between them is my idea of heaven. I nodded, and he pulled my panties down.
As he pulled my panties down, I felt a rush of shyness,"You will keep them open," he said, and I nodded again , my breath hitching.
"Good girl," he praised, his lips trailing kisses along my thighs. I couldn't resist running my fingers through his soft hair, pushing it from his face.
"You want rough love, you say?" he stated, using my own words against me.
"Yes," I moaned, my mouth gasping as I felt his mouth on my wet pussy.
"And you keep listening to what those girls say?" he asked.
"Yes, and it hurts," I managed to say.
"So I have to make up for it then, baby, don't you think?" he asked,
He didn't waste time. His tongue explored my folds, and it felt strange but in a good way. He licked and sucked, and I felt like I might explode.
He kept doing it, for what felt like an eternity. He kept my legs open, and my back ached. I cried heavily, it was the best thing I had ever felt. I could feel my body already over the edge.
"Don't cum," he said, and I shook my head. He continued eating me out, so much. I could feel his fingers inside me, and I screamed again.
"Please," I begged, unable to resist the overwhelming pleasure he was giving me.
"You cum, and it's over," he warned, his finger entering me gently.
I held onto his shoulder tightly, my body teetering on the edge. "Say the word, and I'll stop," he offered.
But I couldn't bring myself to say it. "No," I managed to whisper, my voice filled with need and desire.
His tongue flicked my clit, and I felt my orgasm building. I screamed his name, and he kept going, pushing me further and further over the edge. I screamed again, and again, and again. I couldn't take it anymore, and I came hard, my body shaking with the force of it.
He looked up at me, his lips glistening with my juices.
I was still trying to catch my breath from what just happened as Theo's words registered in my mind. "You are a virgin," he said, and I shook my head fast, trying to dispel the shock.
"No, no, I'm not. The boys I've been with before weren't experienced," I managed to say, feeling a rush of embarrassment at my slip of words. Why did I say "boys"?
Theo's gaze held fire as he processed my words. "Boys?" he repeated, his voice tinged with something I couldn't quite decipher.
I immediately felt the need to defend myself. "You don't think I'm attractive enough to be with more than one boy in my life?" I asked, a hint of defiance in my tone.
"Quite the opposite," he assured me, but his expression remained serious. "I want to know who dared and did that," he added, his eyes searching mine.
I bit my lip nervously, realizing the implications of what I had unintentionally revealed. Boys were afraid to pursue Lana because of Theo's reputation, but the way he reacted made me wonder if he wasn't threatening the boys for just getting close to lana .
"You can't just control who I can be with, Theo," I said, surprised at my own boldness.
"I think I can," he asserted firmly.
I took a breath, trying to calm the tension that crackled between us. "I won't mind," I said softly, my voice pleading. "I would do anything to please you. I would do anything you ask me to."
"Stop talking like that, y/n," he ordered, his tone strained.
"Okay," I acquiesced, sensing that I had crossed a line.
"Fuck," he cursed under his breath, clearly struggling with his own emotions.
I reached out and touched his hand that was on my face, trying to ease the tension. I smiled while kissing his hand, then surprised both of us by putting one of his fingers inside my mouth and sucking on it gently.
"You are going to be the death of me," he muttered, but there was a hint of amusement in his voice.
"I need you, Theo, all of you, even just for the night, please," I pleaded, desperate for him to understand.
"Don't cry, unless it's from the pleasure I give you," he said, brushing away my tears gently.
I propped myself up on my elbow to get closer to him, craving his touch and his reassurance. He kissed me again, and in that moment, I felt like I could live in this bliss forever.
He reached for a condom, and I tried not to show my nerves as he prepared himself. His size was daunting, and I couldn't help but wonder how it would fit inside me. My head hit the pillow again as he spread my legs, his hardness teasing my entrance.
He entered me slowly, and I cried out as the pain shot through me, tears streaming down my face. "You are a fucking virgin," he exclaimed, his own frustration evident.
"It's not a fucking game, y/n," he continued, his tone softer but still edged with tension.
"I'm sorry, please do something," I pleaded, feeling overwhelmed.
He wiped my tears away, his features softening. "Fuck, baby, don't cry. It will get better, I promise. Just relax," he reassured me, his voice soothing.
"Breathe, it's just me," he added, placing kisses on my forehead and then my cheek.
"I think... I think you can move now, please," I managed to say, trying to regain my composure.
He held my face in his hand while the other supported him as he moved slowly, allowing me to adjust to him. I closed my eyes, focusing on the pleasure and the connection between us.
"You want fast, I can take it," I said, unsure if I was ready but wanting to prove myself to him.
"It's not a competition, y/n. You don't have to prove anything, baby,"
"The girls you've been with, they must have..." I started to say, but he cut me off.
"They didn't matter. You do," he said, surprising both of us with his confession.
He settled into a rhythm that felt perfect, and I closed my eyes, reveling in the sensations. His thrusts ranged from slow and tender to fast and intense, driving me wild with pleasure.
"Talk to me," he urged, and I struggled to form coherent sentences amidst the pleasure.
"It feels... good," I managed to say, my words coming out in fragmented breaths.
"Yeah?" he questioned, and I nodded, unable to articulate just how amazing it felt.
He increased his pace, and I arched my back, meeting his movements eagerly. "What about this?" he asked, his touch sending waves of pleasure through me.
"Do it again," I begged, wanting more of him, more of this intense pleasure.
He obliged, and the pleasure intensified, pushing me closer to the edge of ecstasy. I moaned and cried out his name, lost in the sensations that only he could evoke.
He thrust a few more times, then finally reached his own peak, his body collapsing slightly against mine as we both caught our breaths.
After a moment, he pulled out and disposed of the condom, then lay beside me.
Silence stretched between us, thick and suffocating. I was afraid to talk afraid to ruin what we just had, My hand hovered in the air, reaching for his face, but Theo stopped me, his grip surprisingly tight on my wrist.
My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drum solo against the backdrop of my racing thoughts. Please, no. Not the cold shoulder again.
" The- Theo," I whispered, my voice trembling, but he pushed my hand away before I could say more. His sudden change left me feeling lost and vulnerable, like I had done something terribly wrong.
"You⊠sore?" he finally spoke, his voice strained.
I blinked, tears pricking at the corners of my eyes. The Theo who had been making love to me just minutes ago seemed to have vanished. This was the cold, distant Theo I knew all too well.
"A little," I managed to whisper, my voice cracking.
"Then get dressed," he said curtly. "I'm taking you home. Your big night is over." his words cutting through me like knives. I tried to speak, to explain, but he silenced me with a stern command. "Not a word, y/n. Not a fucking word."
He got out of bed and started putting on his clothes, tossing a t-shirt and his jacket in my direction. As he grabbed my phone and things, I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces. It was as if everything we had shared meant nothing to him.
As shaky legs carried me to my feet, I pulled on the clothes, tears blurring my vision. A choked sob escaped my lips, and another, and another.
"Congratulations, Y/N," I whispered to myself, my voice raw with emotion. "You're officially one of his girls."
"Congratulations, y/n. Youâre officially one of the girls," he remarked, his words cutting deep into my already wounded heart.

give you the moon
pairing: eddie munson x fem!reader
summary: had you known getting your first tattoo would end up with you being in love with eddie munson, you might have gotten it a lot sooner.
word count: 17.8k
warnings: smut, probably inaccurate descriptions of tattooing processes (i tried my best!), strangers to friends to lovers, fluff
a/n: this one took forever but itâs finally done!!!! iâm sorry for the wait but hopefully u guys like it enough to forgive me :D
àŒ
Youâve always wanted a tattoo, and you figured now was as good a time as ever. Having just moved to Indianapolis, all by yourself, one change could lead to another.
New city, new apartment, new tattoo.
It may be irresponsible of you, but you settled for the first shop you found, the one closest to where you lived. A short walk away, harder to back out of. You knew you wouldnât regret getting it, you just had to force yourself to sit through it, to commit.
The wind whips at your cheeks as you make your way to your consultation. You pull your sleeves over your hands and hope that itâll be warm enough.
Once youâve made it, the bell above the door rings to signify your entrance. A girl with brown curly hair sits at the front desk, a warm smile on her face. The place has dark floors, walls covered with different sketches that distract you for a moment.
âHi! How can I help you?â The girl says, drawing your attention back to her. You walk the few steps up to the front desk.
âHi, um, Iâm here for a consultation,â you give her your name and the time of the appointment. âWith Eddie.â
She shuffles about for a few seconds before finding what she was looking for, âyep, perfect. Iâll let him know youâre here. Iâm Nancy, by the way.â
âThanks, Nancy.â
She goes to the saloon type doors next to the desk, you watch them swing back and forth. Youâre eventually drawn back to the art on the walls, eyes scanning the different styles and images. Your hands fidget with the ends of your sleeves.
A picture of the staff steals your attention next, Nancy standing next to a girl with shorter hair, their hands interlocked. Then, thereâs a boy with brown hair and a kind smile. The one who really keeps you looking is the boy with long dark hair, his tattoos the most prominent.
A second later, that same boy is walking through the doors and calling your name.
âOh, hi. Thatâs me,â you reply. Then wince at your awkwardness.
âHi, Iâm Eddie,â he gives you a close-mouthed smile, barely there. Heâs even prettier in person than he is in that photo. âFollow me.â
He seems distant, sort of cold and youâre not quite sure what to do with it. Your nerves pick up even more.
He ushers you through the saloon doors, then through a room with three tattoo beds thatâs filled with the buzzing of the machines and the other people from the picture and their clients. You end up in an office type room, certificates hang on the wall behind the desk.
Eddie takes a seat behind the desk thatâs presumably his, papers scattered about and a cup overflowing with pens and pencils sitting atop of it. You stand by the door, shifting on your feet.
âYou can have a seat,â he offers, gesturing to the chair facing him. He waits until youâre settled to continue. âSo, is this your first tattoo?â
âYes,â you feel nervous and youâre not sure if itâs the prospect of committing to the tattoo or if itâs the way Eddieâs gaze doesnât move away from you.
âWell, Iâm honored to be your first,â he winks, your heart stumbling at the innuendo. âSo, what are we thinking?â
âThe moon, on the back of my shoulder,â you pause, but he nods for you to keep going, to give more detail. âI wanted it to be a gibbous moon, almost full but not quite.â
âAlright. Got an idea for size?â
âUh, kinda small. I think?â You huff, frustrated with your lack of an answer, âsorry Iâm not so prepared.â
You stuff your hands under your thighs so that theyâll stop twisting in your lap. You cross your ankles and look down, slightly embarrassed at the way youâre acting in front of him. You were meant to grow in the city, to be better, but so far, not much has changed.
You donât have friends, your job is slow, and youâre terrible with new people.
ââS fine,â you think heâs being reassuring. âHowâs this sound: we can try some circle stencils on for size now, then weâll know for your appointment.â
âOkay. Thank you, Eddie.â
ââCourse. Iâll be right back.â
His exit gives you a couple of minutes to try and sort yourself out, to calm down. You want to be able to do this without the stumbles or hiccups that youâre so used to. You blow out a breath and wait for him to come back.
The way he carries himself confuses you, his almost detached nature making you overthink way too much. Although, heâs not being cruel or unkind, heâs just⊠youâre not sure if thereâs a word to describe it.
He comes back with a couple of stencils, some sort of solution, a disposable razor, and paper towels.
âYouâre gonna have to take your sweater off,â he says, setting everything down on the desk. When you donât move to do so right away, he stares at you, waiting.
âOh, right. Sorry.â
You slip off your sweater, your tank top underneath riding up ever so slightly with the movement. You pull it back down and set your discarded sweater on the chair behind you.
âWhich shoulder?â He asks, putting on a pair of medical gloves and grabbing the razor.
âHere,â you slip the straps of both your shirt and your bra off the shoulder you choose, turning in the seat to face away from him so heâs able to do what he needs to.
He brushes your hair towards the front of your shoulder, clearing the spot he needs. He cleans off the area, then shaves it to make sure the stencil will stick, all in silence. Heâs quick to apply it, his hands gentle and his breath hitting your skin in a way that has you shifting.
âDonât move,â he chides quietly.
âSorry.â
He doesnât say anything more until heâs done, âokay. Have a look.â
Thereâs a mirror on one of the walls, and you walk over to get a good look at the size of the circle. You know itâs only the first one, but you think itâs perfect. It looks right and youâre excited to see it when itâs actually the design you want.
âI want this size,â you say, turning to face him.
âAre you sure? Itâs only the first one.â
âI know, but itâs good. I like it.â
âI donât want you changing your mind, okay?â
âI wonât! Iâm sure, promise.â
He sighs, then wipes the stencil away and takes off the gloves with a snap. He takes his seat again as you put your sweater back on, goosebumps prickling your skin.
âWhen did you wanna book it for?â He asks.
âWhenever youâre free is fine, Iâm not picky.â You donât have anywhere else to be, really.
âYouâre not the best at answering questions, huh?â
You think heâs trying to make a joke but all you manage to say is, âno, sorry.â
âYou apologize a lot. You donât have to,â he grabs something that looks like a planner then says, âI have a spot next week, if that works.â
Eddie tells you the specific day and time, and you tell him that it works. He hands you some papers to sign and read and bring back with you for next time. âNancy will sort out payment and stuff at the desk. Thatâs it for today.â
âOkay. Thank you so much,â you make your way back to the front quickly, eager to go home and try and forget the entire interaction. He certainly wasnât what you were expecting, and you didnât know if it was a good thing or a bad thing. He was quiet, reserved, and hard to read, but he was good, you knew from the drawings in his office. He was also intriguing; a puzzle you wanted to solve.
You sort out everything with Nancy, who makes you feel a ton better about your consultation. âYou look far too worried,â she says.
âI just donât think he likes me very much.â
âNo, trust me, thatâs just Eddie. Heâll warm up to you, Iâm sure.â
âI hope so. Anyway, thanks, Nancy.â
âSee you,â she says as you walk out the door.
That night, you cuddle up and fall asleep thinking about Eddie and his demeanor, his warm hands on your skin.
-
He couldnât get you out of his head, and that rarely happened to Eddie. He was used to meaningless things and he canât remember the last time he felt anything for someone.
Not that he felt anything for you. Youâd only met once.
Eddie spent the night after your consultation drawing way too many moons in his sketchbook, staining his hands with ink and pencil.
-
Itâs two days later when you hear from Eddie again.
Your phone rings just as youâre about to shower before bed, the sun long gone though the city stays bright with lights. You hug your robe tighter around yourself and walk to where the phone hangs on the wall.
âHello?â
âHi,â an utterance of your name, a tone you recognize. âItâs Eddie⊠from Corroded Coffin Tattoos.â
âOf course! Hi, Eddie. Was there something wrong?â
âOh, no. No,â he pauses, you hear him shuffling around on the other line. âI had a cancellation tomorrow and thought you might want the spot?â
You hate that the fact that he thought of you makes your stomach whirl. Of course, he couldâve called countless clients before you, but you like the idea that he dialed your number first better. You twist the phone cord in your fingers.
âThat would be great. Thank you so much for thinking of me.â
If only you knew, he thinks. If only you knew how much he really did think of youâit was almost infuriating. How one person could have such an effect on him when he really doesnât know them at all. He knows that youâre pretty, and you say âsorryâ far too much, and you smell really good, thatâs all.
âYeah. Iâll see you then.â
âOkay, see you-â
He hangs up before you can finish. You stare at the phone for a second after putting it back, wondering if that whole exchange truly happened, if you just dreamt up the whole thing. You pinch yourself until it hurts. Youâre definitely awake.
You replay the conversation over and over, wondering why he hung up so abruptly, worrying about how youâre going to act tomorrow.
Eddie called you from his office, even though it was well past closing for the shop. He really needs to get himself together. He canât be thinking so much about his client. About anyone, really. He canât.
His head is resting in his arms when the door to his office opens. Thereâs only one person that never knocks and thatâs Steve. He looks up and sees him leaning against the doorframe.
âWhy are you still here, Steve?â
âWhy are you still here?â He retorts.
âGot some stuff to do,â is all Eddie says.
âYour mood doesnât have anything to do with the girl you just talked to on the phone, does it?â
Of all the people he could have been friends with, Steve was the most unlikely for Eddie, and yet here they are. Coworkers, and close friends. Itâs almost annoying how quickly he can tell what exactly the issue is.
âI dunno. She wonât get out of my head,â Eddie shrugs, glancing down at the sketchbook he has opened on his desk, the one filled with drawings of your tattoo. âItâs annoying.â
âThatâs a lot of moons, man,â Steve says as he walks closer.
âShut up.â
âIâm just saying. Maybe this is a good thing. I havenât seen you with a girlfriend, like, ever.â
âWho said anything about a girlfriend?â
No, if anything, Eddieâs eager to get your appointment over with, to get you out of his head for good.
âYeah, okay. Can't wait to say âI told you so.â You know it wonât hurt to open up a little, man.â
Steve means well, Eddie knows he does, but the thing is it does hurt him. Or, it used to. He was used to being judged, someone the town saw as a character rather than a human. The best thing he ever did was move away, but that doesnât mean he left the hurt behind, too.
-
You show up about fifteen minutes early for the appointment. You gave yourself far too much time, you think, because now you just have to sit and wait and the anticipation is making you more nervous the longer it goes.
The front desk was being manned by a different person today, âhi! Iâm Robin, how are you?â
She talks quickly and with enthusiasm, like every word is exciting and important. You like her already.
âHi, Iâm good, thanks. I have an appointment with Eddie,â she nods in confirmation, looking down at the schedule in front of her. âIâm a little early though so⊠no rush.â
âOh, itâs no problem, gives us more time to sort out the paperwork and stuff. Heâs just finishing up with someone else so it wonât be too long.â She smiles at you.
âHere, I have these from my consultation,â you hand her the pages Eddie had given you to sign. You chew at the inside of your cheek as she reads over them hoping you filled everything out correctly.
âThatâs great! Iâll just go tell him youâre here,â she goes through the familiar saloon doors, the buzzing of tattoo guns and light conversations slipping through.
When she comes back she informs you that heâs only going to be a couple more minutes, and instead of telling you to go take a seat, she asks, âfirst tattoo?â
âYeah, Iâm nervous. Mostly excited,â you give her a small smile, one that makes hers widen.
âDonât worry! I had to take like five breaks for my first one and now here I am.â Itâs then that you finally notice the ink peeking from her long-sleeve shirt, at her wrists, and on one side of her neck. âEddieâs great, and Iâm sure youâve got great pain toleranceâI can sense it.â
You laugh, sheâs somehow managed to make you feel much better in the short time youâve been talking to her. Eddie walks out, greeted by the sound of your laughter and he almost stops in his tracks. Almost.
âRobin, stop chatting up my clients,â he says.
âIâm just being friendly, Eddie! You should try it out,â she replies.
You can tell itâs in good nature, because he ruffles her hair as he passes and leaves it there. From what youâve seen so far, the workers here are close; a tight-knit group of people and you admire that friendship, long for it.
âFollow me,â he says. It takes you a second to realize heâs talking to you because of your distraction, but when you look up you find him staring at you, waiting.
âOkay,â you trail behind him as he leads you to the bed furthest from the doors, the one tucked away in the back of the room.
âYou eat and drink water before coming? I donât want you passing out on me.â
âYeah. Yes, Iâm good.â
He looks at you like heâs unsure, but moves along anyway. Eddieâs only worried because youâre his client and he has to, no other reason. He canât be worrying because he thinks youâre pretty and sweet and far too kind. Thereâs absolutely no way.
âSo, I did a couple sketches,â a couple is an understatement. âHave a look and let me know which one you wanna go with.â
You take a look at the five heâs laid out, all as you asked. Gibbous moons, both waxing and waning, some shaded more than others, some simple outlines. The one that catches your eye is a happy medium, fine lines with dotting for shading. Itâs beautiful, exactly what you envisioned.
âThis one. Itâs really good.â
He tips his head down, âthanks. Iâll go get my stuff and weâll get started.â
Heâs not gone for very long, though itâs enough time for you to watch one of the artists at work, the boy with the brown hair. You watched the way he moved the needle, only looking away when Eddie came back and grabbed your attention.
âGonna do the stencil like before, so youâll need to move your shirt,â he says, looking down at his station and getting everything ready.
âWould it be easier if I just, uh, take it off?â
That makes his hands hover, paused in his task. He tries to shake it off; heâs seen a ton of people shirtless at the job and heâs never been affected by that, so why should he be now?
âWhatever youâre comfortable with.â
âOkay,â you decide it must be easier without your shirtâless things in the wayâso you take it off and try not to worry about it.
Eddie applies the stencil just as he did a couple days ago. Gentle, precise hands that youâll feel the ghost of for hours after your appointment, youâre sure. His head bent close as he pushes the edges down so you can feel him breathing, catch his scent for a moment.
When heâs done, he holds up a wide handheld mirror for you to get a look at it without having to walk all the way to the mirror on the opposite side of the room.
Again, youâre impressed by his drawing, and seeing it on your skin makes you realize that youâll carry a part of Eddie forever after this. His linework, his trace.
âSo,â he prompts you to speak as your thoughts have taken you away, âwhat do you think?â
âItâs great. Really.â
âYouâre sure thatâs where you want it?â
He double checks every single detail. That youâve picked the one you want, that itâs the right size, that you really want to do this. He does so until youâre laying on your stomach on the bed, positioned so he can work comfortably at your side.
âOkay, Iâm gonna do a small line, just so you see how it feels,â he warns you, and you tense in anticipation. âRelax.â
âSorry. âM just nervous.â
âYouâll be fine, Iâm sure.â
He manages to ease you with very few words.
The sound of the tattoo gun sounds louder when itâs so close, more daunting, but youâre eager to get started only to get rid of the anticipation. He draws a short line after giving you a quiet warning of, âhere we go.â
Itâs not nearly as bad as youâd expected. A scratch, a small sting, but itâs manageable.
âYou okay?â He checks.
âYeah, itâs not that bad.â
âTold you youâd be fine,â he says so softly you almost miss it.
Your head is turned to the side where he sits, and you can see him in your peripheral vision as he works. His legs clad in dark, ripped denim, the tattoos peeking through. The sleeves of his shirt rolled up to show his forearms. You shut your eyes and try to stop staring.
He works quietly, though you can sometimes hear him humming along to whatever song is playing. You donât try to make conversation because you donât want to be a distraction.
It doesnât take too long before he gets to the shading, telling you, âsome people find this part a bit more painful. So you know.â
âOkay, thanks.â
Heâs right, it is more painful and you find it harder to keep yourself occupied by looking around. You find it harder to ignore the feeling of the needle.
Eddie notices. He doesnât know how, but he notices. Maybe itâs the way your eyes are squeezed shut at certain points, the hand of the arm furthest from him bunched in a fist. He decides he wants to ease the process for you in any way he can.
âSo, why the moon?â He asks.
âHuh?â
âWhyâd you choose the moon?â
âOh, sorry,â you donât see him shake his head at your unnecessary apology. âIâve always loved it, how it has a cycle. The way it looks in the sky. Just, everything. Looking at it was a way of reminding myself Iâm alive, kind of. âCause I can still see it. I guess I chose this one to remind myself that even if itâs not whole now, it will be eventually.â
He wants to pick at your brain more, because he thinks it must be a beautiful place to be able to describe things the way you just did. You talk like it means a lot to you and the fact that you shared it with him so openly when youâve been so quiet isnât lost on him.
âThatâs reallyâŠwow.â
âSorry. I kinda rambled there.â
âNo, no. Iâve just never looked at it that way.â
He asks you more questions after that, trying his best to keep your mind off of the needle and on the conversation. He asks how long youâve been in the city, then, why you moved, and you give him honest answers for all of it.
Not long at all. Because I needed to get out, to be somewhere nobody knows me.
That made him think of Hawkins, of every person there who called him a freak, who looked at him like one. He needed to get out, too.
âAlright, youâre all done, just gotta wrap it up for you,â he says, putting the gun down and wiping over your skin one more time. âDo you wanna have a look first?â
âPlease,â you nod.
He likes the way the word sounds coming out of your mouthâhe gives himself a mental slap for that.
You sit up and he holds the mirror just as he did before. You can't help but gasp when you see it, exactly what you pictured. He did such a good job that you resist the urge to hug him for it.
âEddie, itâs beautiful.â
So are you, he thinks.
âIâm glad you like it,â is what he says.
âI love it. Seriously, thank you.â
âItâs my job. Let me wrap it and then youâre good to go.â
He does, carefully and with the same gentle hands that have become far too familiar by now. When heâs done, he takes off his gloves with a snap, and hands you a pamphlet and some cleaning products to use at home.
âThanks again, Eddie. Youâre really good,â you say, putting your shirt back on.
âNo problem,â he flashes you a small smile, one youâll hold onto. âUm, hereâs the card for the shop. You know, in case you need anything. Just ask for me, okay?â
âI will, thank you,â you take the card from him, your fingers brush his as you do. The name of the shop is written on it in bold, sharp letters: Corroded Coffin Tattoos. Underneath it, the phone number.
Youâre led back through the saloon doors and met with both Robin and Nancy by the desk. Theyâre talking with wide smiles and rosy cheeks, their hands tangled loosely.
âI donât pay you two to flirt,â Eddie says, retreating back where the two of you just came from.
Robin slips away, presumably done with her shift at the desk now that Nancyâs back. She gave you a kind goodbye, and makes sure that you promise if you ever want another tattoo to go back there.
âHow was it?â Nancy asks you.
âGood! Iâm really happy with it.â
âThatâs what we like to hear! Eddieâs great. He gave me my first tattoo, too. Robin was mad for ages and then made sure she gave me the next one,â she grins. âAnyway, letâs get you taken care of.â
You pay for the tattoo, and then, youâre off.
Itâs times like now that you wish you had someone to talk to, because youâre having way too many thoughts about your tattoo artist that you might never see again and you need to know if youâre reading into things too much. You need to know if his hands linger longer than they need to on other clients, if you imagined the way his eyes stayed on you, too.
You settle for overthinking on your walk home instead.
-
You didnât think youâd end up using the card Eddie gave you. Not unless you were calling to book another tattoo, but here you were, leaning on the wall by your phone and dialing the number.
It was just a quick question, really, but you were still nervous. Youâd only gotten the tattoo yesterday and already you were calling.
Youâd realized when reading the aftercare instructions he gave you, that you didnât have any unscented, gentle lotion like it called for, and you wanted to know if he had any suggestions for what works best. You tried going to the pharmacy, but the options were overwhelming.
You ended up buying something anyway because of how long you spent there. A useless magazine that was the closest thing to you when you noticed how some of the employees were looking at you. Some girl reading way too many lotion labels.
Yeah, definitely embarrassing, and definitely something you wonât let yourself live down.
The phone doesnât ring for long before someone picks up, âCorroded Coffin Tattoos, Nancy speaking.â
âHi Nancy,â you tell her your name.
âHey! How can I help you?â
âUm, Eddie told me to call and ask for him if I had any questions,â you explain. âI was wondering if heâs available for a minute?â
âHe did?â She sounds surprised.
âUm. Yeah.â
âHuh. Usually he makes one of us deal with calls instead. Iâll put you on hold and let him know, okay?â
ââKay. Thanks, Nancy.â
Desperately, you try not to overthink what she said. That he doesnât usually get his clients to talk to him for things as minor as this. Why would he want you to, then? You donât know why every little thing he does sends your mind into a whirlwind of âwhyâs and âwhat does this meanâs.
Itâs maybe two minutesâsilence filled by your thoughtsâbefore the phone is picked up again.
âHello?â
You can tell that itâs Eddie.
âHi. Sorry to bother you but I just had a quick question for you.â
Eddie knows itâs you; heâs not expecting a call from anyone else. Not that he was expecting yours, itâs just that youâre the only client heâs even told to ask for him. He tries to cover that up by saying, âwhoâs this?â
âOh, guess I shouldâve said. Sorry,â you remind him of your name, as if he could forget it.
âDonât be sorry. Whatâs your question?â
Heâs quick to get to the point, and you canât tell if itâs because heâs eager to help, or if itâs that heâs eager to get the conversation over with. Nancyâs words replay in your head. Usually he makes one of us deal with calls instead.
âI noticed that for aftercare, it says to use gentle lotion,â he hums along, urging you to continue. âI wasnât sure what exactly that meant and I even went to the pharmacy but I didnât know which one was good-â
âItâs okay,â he cuts you off. âIâve got some here at the shop. Do you have time today to come pick it up?â
âYeah! Yes, thatâs great. Thanks so much, I promise Iâll get out of your hair after this.â
He doesnât like the way that sits with him. He doesnât want you out of his hair. He wants to see you again, heâs realized, and itâs almost too much for him to handle. The way he feels about you is brand new for himânever felt before. He wants to know everything about you.
ââCourse. See you soon, then.â
âBye, Eddie.â
He hangs up.
You leave a bit after that. Not too soon, because you didnât want to make it seem like you didnât have other things to do, even though you didnât. Youâve memorized the walk to the store at this point, and it doesnât take you long to get there. Youâre greeted by Nancy once again, only in person this time.
âWelcome back,â she says.
âHi,â you smile at her, you hope it doesnât look like a nervous grimace. âUm, Eddie told me to come here to pick something up.â
âRight, okay,â she stands, heading in the direction of his office, pausing to say, âhe must really like you.â
Great. Some more material for you to analyze about Eddie and how he acts with you. Itâs odd to have someone on your mind so constantly, to try and make sense of it. He has something about him that pulls you in, and youâre not sure how, or why, but you let yourself be pulled.
His hair is tied in a low bun when you see him, his bangs and stray strands of hair make it look messy, like he hasnât had the time to redo it. And yet, he had the time to speak to you on the phone and now.
âMoon girl,â he says, lips turned up just enough to be noticeable.
âEddie, hi,â your hands twist themselves into the sleeves of your knitted sweater. âThank you for taking time for me, I know it was a dumb question.â
âIt wasnât. Iâm glad you care enough to make sure youâre using the right things,â he says. He holds out the lotion, âspeaking of.â
âPerfect. How much do I owe?â
âDonât worry about it.â
He probably shouldnât make a habit of giving things away for free to girls he thinks are pretty and that confuse him way too much. For you, though, heâll make an exception. Itâs not like anybody else is driving him nuts like you are, anyway.
âNo, youâve done so much already. Please let me pay.â
âItâs fine, I promise that one bottle of lotion wonât hurt me.â But this possibly being the last time I see you might, he thinks.
âIf youâre sure.â
âI am,â he confirms. âIâll see you around then.â
âBye, Eddie. Thank you.â
âBye, moon girl.â
You look down at your feet as he walks away, letting your hair curtain your face. You really shouldnât be feeling so giddy because of a fucking bottle of lotion and a new nickname, but you are.
âHoly shit,â Robinâs voice comes from the front desk. You hadnât noticed, but she mustâve walked out at some point during your quick interaction with Eddie.
You curse yourself and try to hide the smile that threatens to spread across your face. âHey, Robin.â
âWell hello,â sheâs looking at you like she knows something you donât, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. âI donât know how you did it but heâs never acted like that with any client. Like, ever.â
You donât say anything, biting the inside of your lip to distract from the butterflies in your stomach.
âAnd, Iâm so glad youâre here,â she changes the subject, thankfully. âBecause Eddie mentioned youâre new to the city and god knows I could use friends who donât work here and I wanted to know if you wanted to come for drinks sometime?â
Eddie spoke about you? Robin wants to be your friend? You canât wrap your head around either of those things. Itâs been so long since youâve hung out with someone who wasnât family. And even then, it was tiring, not fun.
You realize sheâs still waiting for an answer when she clears her throat.
âSorry, um. Yeah, that would be nice.â
âYay!â She cheers. âWhatâs your number? Iâll call you next time thereâs plans.â
You write it down on a scrap piece of paper for her, and she beams at you when she takes it.
âEddieâs gonna be thanking me for this one later,â she teases. âI think weâll be great friends.â
You look at her smile, at her crooked tie that rests atop an oversized button up. You think she might be right about that.
-
As soon as you leave Robin and Nancy go to Eddieâs office. An intervention of sorts. They walk in without knocking (the door was open anyway) and stand in front of him with some look.
Heâs pretty sure he knows why theyâre both staring at him with knowing smiles, but he tries to ignore them and busy himself with some sketches.
Robinâs not having it, so she sits in the chair across from Eddie, kicking her feet up onto his desk.
âWhat do you want?â He sighs.
âUm, hello? Are we not gonna pretend that you werenât flirting with her in your own, weird, Eddie way?â Robin starts.
âDunno what youâre talking about.â
âCome on,â Nancy joins the conversation, on Robinâs side as always. âYouâve never told a client to ask for you, or given them free stuff.â
âYeah! And, you were all âsee you around, moon girl, hey let me stare at you and then not do anything about it,ââ Robin lowers her voice, imitating him very inaccurately.
âI donât know. She was nice, thatâs all.â
âNice enough to break your little rule of being mister nonchalant. I think you like her,â sheâs right, but Eddie doesnât even want to admit that to himself, let alone his friends.
He doesnât say anything, shifting in his seat. He knows they both mean well, but he doesnât know what to think and an ambush isnât necessarily helping that. The pit in his stomach heâs had since he realized he might never see you again hasn't lessened, and the memory of your perfume or the feeling of your skin hasnât faded.
So, maybe you did have an effect on him, but it doesnât matter anymore. It didnât matter in the first place because he wouldnât let it.
âLook, Eddie, weâre not trying to make you admit anything,â Nancy says, âwe just noticed that you acted differently with her. Steve did, too, Iâm sure. And it was a good different. You seemed less guarded, I guess.â
âWhat she said!â Robin adds.
âYeah, thanks guys, but itâs nothing, okay?â
They share a look, one that Eddie doesnât understand but heâs gotten used to their silent communications over time. He scratches at the back of his neck, nervous about what theyâre thinking.
âAnyway, I got her number,â Robin says, holding the small paper you wrote on for Eddie to see.
He grabs it, staring at your handwriting and the small heart you added next to your name. He fights a smile at the sight of it, cute and lopsided and though he doesnât know you well, itâs very you.
He clears his throat, handing the paper back. âIâve got her number on file already.â
âItâs not for you! Itâs for me and Nance. Weâre gonna be friends,â she grins, proud.
âWeâre probably gonna invite her next time we go out, and wanted you to know. Just in case you care,â Nancy says, explaining.
Just in case you care.
He does care, he thinks. He cares way too much for someone heâs met three times and knows very little about. He knows youâre pretty, you apologize a ton, you fidget with your hands when youâre nervous, and you like the moon.
He knows that he cares what you think about him, and that when you called the tattoo he gave you beautiful, it meant more to him than most compliments do. âCause it was you who said it. Itâs too much for him.
Maybe heâll skip out on the next outing.
âThatâs nice,â he settles for.
âSheâs new to the city and sheâs cool. Donât you think, Eddie?â Robin asks.
He swipes her boot-clad feet from his desk in response.
âWe just donât want you to hold yourself back, thatâs all. You never go on dates or anything, even though youâve had many chances,â Nancy says, softer now that she sees Eddieâs mind is full.
âThanks for caring, you guys, seriously. But Iâm fine. I like being single.â
âSo, just be friends with her, then,â Robin suggests.
Her and Nancy leave him alone after that, his mind a bigger mess than before and itâs completely surrounding you. He doesnât understand how someone could make him rethink everything like he is.
I like being single, heâd said.
And yet, when he imagines going on a date with you, giving you flowers, complimenting your dress or your hair, heâs not sure how true that statement is.
-
Your days drag by. You work in a small cafĂ©, and whenever youâre not there, youâre either wasting away hours in your apartment or taking aimless walks. Itâs a never-ending cycle, a carousel spinning round and round.
The only eventful thing that happened to you (other than your new tattoo) was accidentally spilling coffee all over yourself at work and having to stick out the rest of your shift in wet clothes. Not necessarily something you want to remember.
Youâre beginning to lose hope that Robin will ever use your number.
It shocks you when your phone finally rings. You try to convince yourself itâs telemarketers, a wrong number, anything not to get your hopes up. Lucky for you, it actually is Robin.
âHello?â Is your automatic word when you pick up.
âHi! Listen, Iâm so sorry it took so long to call,â she doesnât have to say it to know itâs her. Robin has a very distinct way of speaking; rushed and animated. âSo, I actually lost the paper. Silly me! But, then I found it and I had to convince the others to want to go out. Anyway, you wanna come?â
âHi, Robin. Thatâs okay,â you find yourself smiling. Your first real one in a while. âWhen?â
âOh! I forgot to say. Tonight?â
âI can do that,â you try to sound excited, you hope she can tell.
âPerfect! Do you have a pen and paper? Iâll tell you the place.â
You reach for your notepad and pen and do your best not to drop the phone in the process. Somehow, you manage.
âYep, ready.â
She rambles off an address, a meeting time, and then, âshit. Boss is coming, better act like Iâm working. Bye!â
She hangs up, and you know who she means when she says âboss.â
Youâve been trying your best not to think of Eddie, but itâs easier said than done. You constantly think you see him in crowds that pass by. A head of long, curly hair here, a worn leather jacket there. Itâs confusing and almost embarrassing.
This boy who you barely know, taking up so much space in your life.
Youâre reminded that youâll most likely be seeing him tonight, as long as youâre right in assuming that by âthe others,â Robin meant her coworkers. The thought makes you nervous, makes your stomach do things you arenât used to.
Despite the time you had between the phone call and when you had to leave, youâre in a hurry to get ready. Picking your outfit was the hardest part, because youâd never been to the place before. You decided on a dress that was simple enough, a denim jacket that youâd probably end up taking off (you get warm when you drink), and your trusty Doc Martens.
Your makeup is a little messy, but you donât have enough time to fix it so you act like the smudged eyeliner was purposefully done. Your hair was left down.
Walking through the doors of the bar, youâre a couple minutes late and a little out of breath from your rushing. You look around in search of a familiar face when waving catches your eye.
Itâs Robin, whoâs waving the most obviously, her arm swinging back and forth until Nancy pulls it down and says something to her. Probably telling her youâve seen them and she can stop. Itâs sweet.
You make your way through the crowd towards the booth theyâd secured. The boy, whoâs introduced to you as Steve, is sitting in the corner on one side, Robin and Nancy on the other. Eddieâs absence is noted, and you guess you mustâve looked confused because Robin spoke up and said, âheâs just in the bathroom.â
She beckons you to sit with her and Nancy, and you fall into conversation easily. Even Steve is easy to talk to and youâve only just learned his name. Sometimes you worry youâre intruding in their group, an outsider. In a way, you are, because you donât work with them nor have you been friends with any of them for a long time, but they have yet to make you feel that way.
Itâs a far cry from the friends (or lack thereof) you had back home, in the best way possible.
When Eddie comes back, the first thing he sees is you. Heâs shocked. Not because youâre thereâhe was well aware of you being invitedâbut because you look like you belong with his friends. You fit right in, and you arenât even trying. Then, he notices your dress and he wishes he could ignore the feeling he gets.
Heâs painfully aware of how pretty you are, and when you look over, as if feeling his eyes on you, you give him a small smile and wave. He walks over and slides into the booth next to Steve as casually as possible.
âYou look nice,â he says. Itâs the best he can come up with.
âThank you.â
The two of you are too busy looking at each other and trying to figure out what to say when the others share some kind of look. Knowing.
Your nerves pickup when Eddieâs around and you scold yourself for it. You have no business feeling anything towards him, and yet, his very simple compliment will be the root of your daydreams for days to come.
âIâm gonna get a drink,â you think you need one. âWhatâs everyone else want?â
âIâll help you bring them,â Robin says.
You both stand, and everyone tells you what they want. You make your way to the bar and wait your turn. The feelings you have towards Eddie are confusing, and youâre not exactly sure what they even are. Intrigue, attraction, tension. Whatever it is, itâs unfamiliar.
Robin leans on the bar beside you, noticing you looking towards Eddie before even you do. When you pry your eyes away, sheâs smirking at you.
âHe likes you, you know?â
âWho, Eddie?â You ask even though you know thatâs who sheâs talking about. âNo, he doesnât. I actually think he dislikes me.â
âYouâve gotta be kidding. Iâve never seen him act like he does around you, and Iâve known him a really long time. Seriously.â
âHeâs just being nice,â thatâs all it is, youâre convincing her as well as yourself.
âPlease. I know heâs hard to read and seems kind of closed-off, but heâs warmer towards you than most people. He barely even talks to clients, usually.â
Everything sheâs saying, you can tell she thinks is true, but if you let yourself think it, too, youâd be absolutely fucked. Your mind would go wild with scenarios and imagining what could happen. Youâre doing enough of that as is.
âI donât know, Robin.â
âYouâll see, trust me.â
Unbeknownst to you, a very similar conversation is happening back at the table. Steve and Nancy are trying to knock some sense into Eddie, to get him to realize itâs okay to let someone else in. He denies it all just as you did, his head a mess.
He realizes that youâre not his client anymore, youâre here as a possible friend, and it scares him. Thereâs no guise to hide under with his urge to care for you.
When you and Robin return with the drinks, youâre the one who hands Eddie his, and when his fingers brush against yours, just barely, he feels them tingle even after the contact ends.
You loosen up a little bit as the night goes on, and you do end up taking your jacket off. The spaghetti straps of your dress leave your tattoo exposed, and Eddie canât help but look at it. Heâs always proud of his work, but seeing it on you is different for him. He likes that his mark is on you.
Nancy and Robin leave first, walking out leaned into each other. The rest of you follow shortly after, Steve slipping out after a quick goodbye. When you stand, you stumble slightly. Eddie catches you, a hand wrapped around your upper arm.
âLet me walk you home,â he says, his hand trailing down your arm lightly before he pulls away completely.
âThatâs okay, Eddie. Really.â
You put your jacket back on and struggle to find one of the sleeves, your arm reaching back awkwardly. Once again, Eddieâs quick to help you, pulling your jacket over and guiding your arm to the right spot. You thank him quietly.
âCâmon, itâs dark out.â
âYouâre not gonna let me say no, are you?â
He shakes his head, that small smile you so rarely see making an appearance.
The walk is quiet for a bit, the chilled air of the night nipping at your skin, your arms pulling your jacket tight to your chest. He falls into step next to you easily, pace matching yours so he stays right next to you.
He can tell youâre cold, and he resists the urge to throw an arm over your shoulders and pull you closer to warm you up. Itâd be weird, he thinks. You barely know him and heâs sure youâd much rather be walking with one of the girls right now than with him.
âSorry for, like, intruding in your friend group.â
Though you havenât felt like an outsider, you do feel bad about worming your way into their group that seemed to have stayed the same for so long. You feel bad for the change you caused, the shift.
âWhat? Youâre not,â he says.
âAre you sure?â
âYeah, moon girl. I am.â
He knows he might not be the most welcoming person, but he doesnât mind having you around, really. What he minds is the confusion that comes along with it, which isnât your fault at all. Thatâs on him.
âOkay. Thanks for letting me come, then.â
âI think Robin would have smacked me if I didnât. Besides, youâre nice to have around.â
He doesnât know if itâs the few drinks or if itâs just a fluke, but the bit of honesty slips out of him with ease. Eddieâs not a trusting person, heâs been through too much for that, but he has never once felt like you were judging him.
The rest of the walk to your apartment is filled with light conversation and small, awkward silences. Having him next to you does make you feel safer, though. You never know what could happen.
He walks you all the way up to your door. You pull out your keys and fiddle with them, your hand shakes when you try to insert it into the lock. You miss a couple of times and feel the embarrassment scorch you. You donât know if itâs the cold, or the drinks, or if itâs him making your hands unstable. Maybe itâs all of the above.
Yet again, Eddie helps you. He comes up behind you, his chest hovering over your back, close enough to feel the heat of his body, not close enough to touch.
âHere, sweetheartâ he wraps his hand around yours and guides the key into the slot, the pet name slipping out without him noticing.
You do notice, though. He says it so softly, and you think itâs your favorite word thatâs come out of his mouth so far. It has your heartbeat picking up, a steady thump in your chest.
âThanks,â you breathe out.
You turn around, leaving the key in the door for now. Heâs much closer than you were expecting and he doesnât back away. Your back against your door, your nose almost touching his.
Then, something shifts, and heâs leaning in and kissing you.
It takes you a second to get over your initial shock, but you recover quickly, winding your arms around his neck and kissing him back. He makes a sound against your mouth when you do, pressing you further into the door. He has a thigh between yours, his hands holding your waist tightly.
He kisses you like he means it, and you forget about everything else. You forget that this Eddie is the same one who puzzles you so much, that not long ago you were convinced that youâd never see him again. And yet, heâs here, kissing you sick in your hallway.
He sucks at your bottom lip, pulling away and letting it snap back into place, opening his eyes to look at you for a second, then he dives back in. Soon enough, heâs licking along the seam of your lips to open you up, and his tongue has your knees weak.
When you whimper into his mouth, he tenses.
Heâs snapped back into reality, realizing that he just made out with you against your door. He pulls away, pushing his fingers into his hair. Thereâs a sudden change, though this one feels much worse than the one where he kissed you.
There are too many things in his head. Thinking he shouldnât be doing this or that youâll hate him for it. Youâre about to open your mouth and ask him whatâs wrong when he speaks first.
âFuck. Iâm sorry,â he steps back until heâs against the wall opposite from you. âIâm sorry. I shouldnât have done that.â
âEddie-â
âNo, shit. Iâm sorry. Good night.â
Heâs walking away before you can say anything else. You stand frozen for what could be minutes before finally letting yourself into your apartment. Closing and locking the door behind you, you lean your forehead against the wood and wonder what the fuck just happened.
Youâre not sure what you did wrong to make him have to leave so suddenly, and you know itâll torment you constantly. Replaying in the back of your mind. The worst part is, you were ready to invite him inside, to let him do whatever he wanted with you. He was gone before you could even get there.
Eddie feels awful for leaving the way he did, and he thinks about turning around and knocking on your door the whole way home. He never does, though. Heâs sure you donât want to see him.
You both have a fitful sleep that night. Blocks away, both tossing and turning in bed with that kiss plaguing your minds.
-
Robin and Nancyâs calls grow more frequent over the following couple of weeks, and in turn, so do your encounters with Eddie. Youâve become closer, would like to say youâve become friends, even. Though, nothing like the kiss that the two of you choose to ignore happens again.
You chalked it up to his tipsiness, he tries to forget it altogether.
Itâs not because it was bad, or unwanted. Itâs quite the opposite, actually. Eddieâs so used to kissing meaning absolutely nothing, leading to more every single time. Your kiss, though, was completely different. It made him feel more than he knew he was capable of.
Heâs surprised that you have yet to say something about it, especially considering the way that he left. Itâs a two way street; he doesnât bring it up at all, either.
He wants to. He wants to be able to explain himself to you, to tell you why he had to pull himself away so quickly. Only, heâs not sure how. He doesnât know how to explain the way he finds himself drawn to you, the reason he kissed you, or the feeling that runs through him every time you lock eyes. If he canât even make sense of it himself, how is he supposed to make sense of it to you?
He canât even bring himself to tell anyone about it because he knows, as much as they try, it wonât help.
Tonight, youâre all piled on the couches in Steveâs apartment (itâs the nicest one) eating pizza straight from the box and chatting. Itâs nice to be a part of a true friend group. Youâve never had anything like it before.
âEddie, you left your guitar here, you know?â Steve says.
He plays guitar? Fuck.
âShit, yeah. I did.â
âYou know what that means,â Robin draws out the last word, shimmying her shoulders.
âNo. Absolutely not,â Eddie shakes his head.
âPlease! Serenade us, Eddie.â
They go back and forth for a bit and your gaze switches between the two of them like youâre watching a game of ping pong.
âIâd like to hear you play,â you pitch in.
Robinâof courseâwears a smirk. Sheâs been trying to get the two of you together since she saw how you interacted, and she knows Eddie wonât say no to you. He couldnât if he tried.
âReally?â Eddie asks softly.
âYeah. I didnât know you played,â you shift in your seat, âIâd love to hear it. If you want.â
He fiddles with his guitar pick necklace, which you catch. Maybe that shouldâve been a dead giveaway that heâs a musician, but youâd never noticed it before, usually hidden by the collar of his shirt.
Eddieâs not usually a nervous person, but the prospect of you listening to him play has him feeling that way. Heâs never worried so much about how someone looks at him, or what they might think. With you, he worries because he wants to impress you, heâs realized.
âYeah, okay. Just for you, Iâll go grab it.â
Just for you. You turn your face away to try and hide how it affects you.
He asks Steve where he left it, and goes off to retrieve it. You watch him walk away until he disappears behind a corner. Thereâs something about him that pulls you in, something you wish you could figure out. You know you like him, itâs quite obvious, but itâs the kind that has thoughts of him crowding your mind and that has you overthinking every word.
âYou guys are paining me, I hope you know,â Robin says.
âWeâre just friends. Seriously.â
âAre you sure about that?â Steve adds on. Nancy tends to just observe when the topic of you and Eddie is brought up. Sheâs a rational person, and sheâs trying to let it work itself out naturally. Though, sheâs sure it will work out eventually. Hopefully sooner than later.
Eddie comes back before you can manage a reply, holding an acoustic guitar decorated with messy, white, painted-on lettering that says âthis machine slays dragons.â
He sits down and tunes the guitar first, focused on his task. It gives you a chance to look at him closely, lets you get away with it because the others are watching him, too. Waiting for him to start to play. When he does, youâre transfixed.
Your eyes donât stray from him at all throughout the song he plays. His fingers move with so much ease, his rings catching the light. Itâs no surprise that heâs talented with his hands, just look at the art he creates on peopleâs bodies everyday. But, this is another layer to it, a piece of him that made you want to see more. Made you want to collect every jigsaw piece until you had the whole image.
You think you could listen to him play for hours on end and never get tired of his strumming. Yeah, you really do like him.
When he finishes, everyone gives him a round of applause, and he hopes his hair does enough to cover up the blush that blooms on his cheeks. He looks to you first, and youâre beaming, looking at him like heâs just done something groundbreaking.
âThat was amazing, Eddie,â you say.
âItâs nothing special,â he replies.
âIt is. Youâre really talented,â you sound so sincere it squeezes his heart in a fist. âDouble talented, actually.â
âThanks, sweetheart.â
He lets it slip again, and you soak it up. Eddie tries to avoid the looks from his friends, especially after the pet name. Surely, theyâre all wearing smug smiles and plotting ways to talk him into giving whatever the thing between the two of you is a go.
He sets the guitar aside, clearing his throat amidst the awkward silence. You look at your lap and frown at the run in your tights that you just noticed, avoiding being the first to say anything.
Every new detail you learn about Eddie only makes you like him more. Youâre still not sure if he even considers you a friend, but you certainly consider him one. You would ask but decide to save yourself the stress of having to bring it up. The worst part is, the idea of him not liking you hurts more than youâd like to admit.
The silence is eventually broken, and the floodgates of conversation have opened back up. You and Eddie both let out a breath of relief, synchronized in secrecy.
When you get up to leave, Eddie suddenly has the urge to go, too, and he offers to take you home. Much like the time before, he doesnât let you decline the offer. Heâs just being nice, you think to yourself, he would do it for anyone.
This time, he drove, and he opens the passenger door for you when you reach his car. It smells like him inside, sandalwood, something sweet, the underlying smokiness of cigarettes that you donât mind when it comes to him. He has a pair of dice hanging from his mirror, though theyâre twenty-sided instead of your average six.
âYouâll have to give me directions back to yours,â he says, starting the car. âI remember the area, butâŠâ
Yes, he remembers the area all too well. Itâs where he lingered after he sprung a kiss on you and then walked away. Itâs where he jerked himself around mentally trying to decide whether he should go back to you or just go home.
âDonât worry, I can be your map.â
The drive is silent save for the music humming through the speakers and your occasional instructions on which turns to take. It isnât awkward, you donât think. Itâs comfortable in the way that you donât feel the need to fill it.
One of Eddieâs hands reaches out and lightly tugs on your skirt, âthis looks really nice on you.â
He pulls it away after he says it and you wish he didnât.
âOh,â you look down at the fabric, something youâve owned for years, worn when you canât figure anything else out. Itâs never been anything special, but now, you feel like it might be. âThank you.â
Eddie feels inclined to compliment you all of the time, heâs learned, but he often lets them float in his head rather than say them to you.
He parks on the street by your apartment complex soon after, but you donât get out right away. You unbuckle your seatbelt and place a hand on the door, but he stops you.
The sight of your building has him thinking about the night you kissed for what feels like the thousandth time. He wants to kiss you again and he clenches his fists to ground himself. If youâre any bit as torn up about it as him, he wants to know. He also wants to try and explain himself to you, even if he still isnât sure how.
âHey. About that night,â he doesnât have to specify. You know exactly what heâs talking about. Your hand lets go of the door handle, settling in your lap. âIâm sorry I kissed you.â
âYou are?â
You donât want him to be sorry, or to feel bad about it. You only want to know what you did to scare him off the way you did. You also want him to kiss you again.
âUm, yeah. I shouldnât have just sprung onto you like that.â
âWhy did you?â Is what you say next.
âI dunno. You just looked so pretty, and I had the urge. The drinks gave me the strength to do it, I guess.â
He hadnât been drunk, not one bit, but he doesnât want to use the alternate explanation just yet. He doesnât want to say âI kissed you because you confuse me more than anyone else. Because Iâve never felt so bent out of shape because of one person. Because you were looking at me like you wanted me to, and I canât say no to you.â
He could, but he doesnât want to.
âYou think Iâm pretty?â
He nods, almost ashamed about it.
âI think youâre pretty, too, Eddie,â his eyes lock onto yours, âand Iâm not sorry you kissed me at all.â
âWhat?â
âI liked kissing you. I was going to ask you if you wanted to come inside before you left.â
You donât know where your candidness is coming from, but you canât stop yourself anymore. Youâve wondered and wondered what couldâve happened that night had he stayed, and by the way his gaze flicks down to your lips, you think you might find out.
The car suddenly feels smaller, the air thicker, when he asks, âdoes that offer still stand?â
You nod, he shuts off the car. You both get out, walking up to your place in a sort of haze. Neither of you know what will come from any of this, youâre going in blind and itâs as exciting as it is nerve-wracking.
Things slow down once youâre inside. Itâs as if a fog has cleared and now, youâre both painfully aware of everything youâre doing, or saying. His eyes flit around your apartment in silence, looking at your bookshelf, noting the lack of personal photos.
You cut in before he can comment on your place, âcan I get you anything? Water, orâŠâ
When he responds, itâs not to your question. Instead, he asks you one: âhowâs your tattoo healing?â
Heâs been curious about how youâre feeling with it ever since he caught glimpses of it that night at the bar. You pause by your small kitchen island, looking him over before you can manage to reply.
âOh. Good, I think,â you shrug a shoulder, âI donât know enough about tattoos but it hasnât bothered me much.â
âI can look at it, if you want.â
âAre you sure?â
You say it as if he would be going through lots of trouble to do so, when in reality heâs using it as an excuse to get his hands on you. Tattoos are familiar, not foreign the way his feelings for you are. Itâs an excuse to ease himself into whatever this is.
ââCourse I am, let me see.â
âOkay. Lightâs better in the bathroom.â
He follows you into your bathroom, and you wish youâd taken into account how small it is because youâre forced to be close to him and itâs making you nervous. The anticipation and unknown a flutter of butterflies in your stomach.
âShirt off,â he says, his voice smooth.
You listen, because itâs hard not to when he sounds the way he does. You turn to face the mirror and peel your shirt away, tossing it to the ground when you do. Youâre suddenly very aware that your bra isnât the nicest you own, and your instinct is to cover it with your arms.
Eddie stops you, his eyes meeting yours in the mirror, his hands wrapping around your wrists gently, pulling them down. âDonât you dare. Youâre beautiful.â
He looks away after he says it, but you can tell he means it. Itâs in the way he makes sure youâre looking at him when he speaks, the way he squeezes your wrists reassuringly before letting them go.
For a second, he forgot why youâre even in the position you are. He forgets that heâs meant to be looking at your tattoo until you say, âhow is it?â
âRight, yeah,â he looks it over, and heâs satisfied to see that it looks exactly how it should at this stage. âReally good, actually. Youâre doing a great job.â
The compliment warms your insides.
âThank you.â
âWant me to clean it for you?â
âSure, thanks.â
He does, disinfecting it first, after finding your products on your counter. Heâs gentle as usual, his hands a welcome feeling. Then, he applies the layer of lotion slowly, almost like heâs trying to tease you. Itâs working.
His hands trail down your arms when heâs done, his head dipping down to press a kiss on the top of your shoulder. The first one is soft, a barely-there push of his lips against your skin. The next is a bit firmer, his confidence growing with each one.
They trail over the curve of your shoulder, his hands still running their paths up and down your arms, raising goosebumps in their wake, his chunky rings cold. He kisses his way up your neck, your head lulling to the side to grant him more access and your eyes fluttering shut.
Everything he does is filing you up more and more and heâs barely even begun.
âEddie,â you sigh when he tugs on your earlobe with his teeth.
âYeah, sweetheart?â
He has no idea whatâs come over him, but thereâs no hiding the effect you have over him anymore. As soon as he got his hands on you, even just to clean your tattoo, he knew heâd be addicted.
âWhat are you doing?â
âKissing you. Is that okay?â
âYeah, yes, itâs- feels nice.â
You would be overthinking if you werenât so distracted by the feeling of his lips on your skin. And when he uses a hand to tilt your face towards his and kisses you, youâre not sure thereâs a single thought left in your head.
Thereâs something about him that makes everything more intense. You feel like all of your senses are captured by him and thereâs nothing you can do to stop it. The smell of his cologne, the taste on his tongue, the feeling of his hands on you and his long hair tickling your skin. All of it.
Eddie pulls away to let the both of you breathe only when itâs absolutely necessary. Heâs drunk on every kiss he gets from you and he doesnât mind one bit. He wonders what youâre like in bed, what sounds youâd make for him, and he canât stop himself from asking, âcan I fuck you?â
The words are spoken between heavy breaths, puffed out against your lips.
âYes. Please.â
Please, you say. As if you would even have to beg him. You have no idea what youâre doing to him and it only makes him want you more. He pushes his hips against your ass, letting you feel how hard he is and you whimper, you fucking whimper and heâs so gone.
He pushes you down to bed over the counter with a hand on the center of your back, and you obey easily. Youâre practically squirming with want, the dampness in your panties growing with every move he makes.
Then, he flips your skirt up, his hands running over the tights that cover you before ripping them in the middle.
âIâll buy you new ones,â he says.
He keeps a hand on your back, though its drifted much lower, and the other sneaks its way between your legs, cupping you over your underwear before pressing his fingers against you. You can't help but moan at the feeling.
âSoaking already, sweetheart?â He taunts.
âEddie, come on.â
âWhat is it?â
âYouâre teasing me,â you huff out, your cheek pressed against your cool countertop.
âDonât worry, Iâll take care of you.â
He hooks his fingers in the fabric covering you, pulling it aside and going right back to his teasing. His fingers run up and down your slit, dipping into where youâre wet only to pull away and circle your clit; just enough to give you a taste, to have you wanting more.
Heâs winding you up and up and up and you think you might pass out if he doesnât make you come soon.
âEddie.â
âYeah, I know. Iâve got you.â
Itâs then that he pushes one finger in, his rings that still sit around his fingers only add to the intensity. He works a second one in quickly, your cunt sucking him in and he canât even imagine how good itâll feel when he gets to fuck you for real.
Heâs quick to learn what you like, what makes you pulse around his fingers or moan a little louder. You had no clue that things could ever feel this good and when his thumb finds your clit, youâre absolutely done for.
Your breaths come out hot, bits of condensation gathering on the counter, âfuck. Oh my god.â
âFeel good?â He asks even though he knows damn well it doesâyour reactions are telling enough. He picks up the pace, his fingers pressing against that spot that has your knees going weak. He wraps his unoccupied arm around your waist to hold you up.
âSo, so good, Eddie. Gonna come.â
âGo on, all over my hand, sweetness. Then Iâll fill you right up, howâs that sound?â
Your response is caught in your throat, a whine bubbling out instead.
âQuicker you come, the quicker Iâll give it to you,â he tacks on.
The thought of him fucking you after this drives you nuts because if just his fingers feel this good, you canât even imagine what his cock will be like. Your orgasm washes over you, eyes rolling back.
He works you through it, steadily slowing down and easing away to give you a break. He pulls his fingers away, chuckling at the noise you make when he does, and sucks them clean. Then, softly, heâs leaning down and kissing his way up your spine.
âHoly shit,â you breathe.
âYou okay?â
âMore than okay. Youâre really good.â
ââM not done yet, babe.â
He stands back up, but he pulls you along with him so you're no longer resting on the counter. Hands on your hips spin you to face him, and as soon as you do he surges forward to kiss you. Itâs quick, like heâs making sure itâs still okay to keep going.
His touch trails up to the band of your braâwhich is askew, but still on. âCan I take this off?â
You nod, but he waits for a verbal confirmation before unclasping it and pulling it away from your chest. It joins your shirt on the ground.
Youâre suddenly very aware that youâre half-naked and he isnât. You tug on his shirt, eager to even the score, âyou too.â
âWell, itâs only fair, isnât it?â
He peels his shirt over his head, and you realize that youâve yet to see his tattoos so closely. You reach out, tracing them lightly with your fingertips. First, the bats that adorn his forearm, working your way up to his shoulder, then down his chest. He lets you, happy to have your hands on him.
While youâre occupied with his tattoos, he looks you over, free to stare without worrying if youâll notice. His eyes travel across your face, the slope of your nose, the shape of your lips. They go down your neck, a canvas he plans to leave his mark on, and down to your chest thatâs now bare.
The sight is enough to remind him of how hard he is, straining against his jeans. He kisses you again, heavier this time, and lets his hands cup your tits, squeezing and thumbing over your nipples. You moan into the kiss and he canât control himself any longer.
He lifts you up to sit on the counter, close enough to the edge that youâre forced to wrap your legs around him.
âYou still want this?â He asks.
Your hands go to his jeans, popping the button open and lowering his zipper slowly, âyeah, Eddie. I want this. I want you.â
I want you. Eddie doesnât know why the words make his heart go all fluttery, why they make him look at you like youâve put the stars in the sky just for him. He kisses you all over again.
You fit your hand between his jeans and his boxers, and you gasp into the kiss when you feel just how big he is. Heâs wide, and you know the stretch of him will be a kind of burn that hurts so good. You stroke him over his boxers first, but quickly grow impatient to see him.
You tuck your fingers into the waistband of his boxers, pulling them and his jeans down enough to free him. You pull back only to be able to look at him properly, leaning your forehead against Eddieâs bare shoulder, your bottom lip bitten between your teeth because heâs pretty everywhere.
He kisses the side of your head, tender in the midst of the heat of it all.
You think, despite his initial distance, Eddieâs one of the sweetest people youâve ever met. He shows it in the small things he does. Offering to take you home, the gentleness of his hands, his constant checking in on you to make sure this is what you wanted.
Yeah, you like him a whole lot.
Your hand wraps around his cock, jerking him slowly at first. A tease, he thinks. And then you pick up your pace just a bit and he thinks he might come before he even gets to be inside you and as much as he would love to see your hand covered in him, itâs not what he wants right now.
Heâs never wanted anyone like he does you and he knows that information will have him overthinking later, but right now, it just makes him desperate to have you.
âFuck,â he grabs a hold of your wrist, âas good as this feels, sweetheart, you gotta stop or Iâll come and thisâll be cut short. You donât want that do you?â
He tips your chin up with his free hand, pecks your lips quickly before giving you the chance to respond.
âNo. Want you to fuck me,â you say.
âDirty girl.â
He reaches for a condom in one of your drawers when you tell him where to find them. When you bought them, you were almost embarrassed, because what were you expecting? Certainly not this.
Heâs back on you before you really feel his absence, running his hands up your thighs, under your skirt, and tearing the hole heâd already made wider.
âYou want me to stop, you tell me, okay?â
âOkay.â
Pushing your legs apart further to make room for him, he reaches down to paint himself up and down your slit, pushing himself in only when heâs teased the both of you sufficiently.
Itâs a welcome stretch, one thatâs better than anything youâve ever felt in situations like this and you wonder why you didnât move away sooner, if this is what it led to.
Eddie leans forward, resting his hands on the counter on either side of you, close enough that his arms brush against you. His face is close to yours but he doesnât kiss you, no, he breathes the air you do, swallowing any sound you make.
His first couple of thrusts are tentative, slow, but when you wrap your arms around his neck and speak a quiet, âfaster, please,â he dives right in.
Somehow, he manages to know just what you need, and he wraps his arms around your waist to keep you still as he moves harder, quicker. Both of you are still half dressed, your clothes in disarray and his are pushed to his knees. Youâre both so wrapped up in want and it shows.
âFuck me,â you whine as he hits that spot inside you, like heâs done it a hundred times before.
âThought thatâs what I was doing, sweets.â
âEddie.â
âI know, baby. Youâre doing so good.â
He knows your orgasm is creeping up on you, he can feel it in the way you pulse around him, squeeze him tighter, bury your face in his neck so that your moans are pushed into his skin.
If he could, he thinks heâd get the sound of them permanently etched into his mind.
âTaking it so well. You wanna come, sweet girl?â
You nod against his skin, âyes. Yes, can I?â
He snakes a hand down to rub your clit, to push you over that edge and says, âlet go. Give it to me.â
Itâs like his words were what you were waiting for, the breaking point to let you finish. Itâs enough to make your moans get caught in your throat and your eyes squeeze shut, seeing stars.
âOh my god,â you choke out.
âThatâs it,â he works you through it, and only when heâs sure that youâre on the comedown does he let himself finish, too.
He pulls your head from his neck with a hand cupping the back of yours, kissing you to really seal the deal, coming with a grunt into your mouth.
When heâs spent, he rests his forehead against yours, running his hands up and down your back soothingly, âyou okay?â
âMmm. Amazing,â you reply, dazed with a fucked out smile on your face. âWhyâre you good at everything?â
He chuckles, kissing your cheek before pulling out, âmaybe Iâm just good at them with you.â
Discarding the condom and pulling his boxers back upâremoving his jeans completelyâhe then finds a small towel and wets it in the sink. Meanwhile, you take off the rest of your outfit, figuring heâs seen enough already. He cleans you up first, delicate hands and a soft apology when you wince from the sensitivity.
He picks you up when heâs done, your legs wrapped around his waist and your head dropped against his shoulder. It feels natural, he thinks, to take care of you the way he would a lover. You feel like you belong there, in his hold, and he knows that youâve changed him in a way.
His reluctance to get into any kind of relationship seems to have flown out the window now.
The door across the hall is the first he tries, and he guessed correctly when he finds your bedroom on the other side of the door.
He lays you down on your bed, and you pull the blankets up over yourself, lazily. You donât think youâll ever be able to look at Eddie the same way, but itâs not a bad thing. Itâs not because of the sex, though it was notably the best youâve ever had and youâll undoubtedly think about it constantly. Itâs because you have feelings for him. Real, true, romantic feelings that run far too deep for you to ignore.
He goes to leave, but you catch his wrist, âyou can stay.â
âWhat?â
âI want you to stay with me. If you want to,â you say.
âYeah, Iâll stay.â
He doesn't even hesitate, and he tries not to think about what that means for this thing he knows is blooming between you, its petals unfurling slow and steady. He slips into bed beside you, welcoming you when you snuggle into his side.
âGoodnight, Eddie.â
âNight, moon girl.â
Youâre both fucked, literally and figuratively.
-
You wake up the most well-rested youâve felt in a while. Flipping onto your back, you stretch out, and itâs only then that you feel the emptiness on the other side of the bed.
For a moment, youâd almost forgotten Eddie had been there in the first place. Then, you remembered you were, in fact, naked. The slight ache between your legs was enough to have last night coming back to you in a rush.
You wonder if maybe Eddie had to leave for work, but you donât find a note or any indication of his departure. Instead, you hear the clanking of pans and plates coming from the kitchen.
You throw on a fresh pair of underwear and one of your oversized sleep shirts that sits at the top of your thighs. Youâre still groggy, mind slower with sleep, but youâre awake enough to hear Eddie humming when you open your bedroom door and step out into the hall.
There he is, standing by your stove, cooking breakfast. You rub your eyes to make sure youâre not dreaming. Or seeing things.
He moves around like heâs been using your kitchen for ages, and his presence warms the space that youâve had such a hard time getting used to. You recognize the song heâs humming to be the one he played on the guitar. The corners of your mouth lift up.
âEddie?â You call quietly, careful not to startle him while his back is turned to you.
âOh,â he faces you, frying pan in his hand, âmorning, sweetheart.â
âHi.â
âIâm making us breakfast, I hope thatâs okay.â
Is he kidding? Itâs the most okay thing anyoneâs done for you in a long time and you donât know whether you want to cry or kiss him. Heâs unlike anyone youâve known, and you canât believe how different he is now compared to when you first met.
His guard was up, short responses and little emotion. Itâs a stark contrast to now, to the way he stands clad only in his boxers and his shirt from the night before, flipping a pancake like itâs the easiest thing in the world. You donât know how he could even keep the saccharine boy hidden, it seems to ooze out of him now.
âItâs- Eddie, this is really sweet.â
The tips of his ears go pink.
He doesnât know what possessed him to cook for you, or why the sincerity in your appreciation makes him blush. All he knows is that he thought it would be nice to make you smile, and that thereâs something in his chest that seems to expand when you do.
âI hope you like pancakes,â he says.
That morning is the moment you realize youâre falling in love with Eddie Munson.
-
Itâs been weeks since that night, that morning. Somehow, rather than put distance between the two of you, you and Eddie have grown closer. You think heâs one of the best friends youâve ever had, even though you havenât known him very long.
Youâre not falling in love with him anymore. No, youâre deep in it now.
Of course, Robin was able to draw it out of you, and after all of her assuring you that thereâs absolutely no way Eddie doesnât feel the same, you still can't let yourself believe her. Youâll bever come back from it if you find out he doesnât when youâve built up your expectations.
So, you keep them low. Heâs your friend, thatâs all itâll ever be and you know it. Or, at least, thatâs what you keep telling yourself every time you catch yourself getting a little too lost in him.
Youâre meant to be meeting the gang at the tattoo shop and then head somewhere for drinks all together. Because youâre not only close with Eddie now, youâve found yourself friends that are real and true. Sometimes you find yourself wondering what your life wouldâve been like had you been in high school alongside them. You think it would have been much, much better, but you have them now and thatâs what matters.
You knock on the door when you get there, the shop already closed and locked up. Youâre quickly greeted with Robinâs grinning face on the other side of the glass. She lets you in and wraps you in a brief hug.
âI think you should start working here just so I donât have to miss you at all in between plans,â she says, stepping back and locking the door again.
âWe both know I donât have the skills for that, but I missed you, too, Robin.â
âNot as much as you missed me, I hope,â is how Eddie chooses to announce his presence.
âHi, Eddie.â
âHi, sweetheart.â
Robin scoffs at him, âcan you not steal my thunder for once, please.â
âIâm not allowed to say hi to my friend?â
He looks at you when he says friend, like heâs sharing a secret. Only, you have no idea what it might be.
âWhatever. I have to go get Nance since she went home to change,â she gathers her stuff from the desk. Then, she points to you and says, âI better get a very detailed life update later.â
âYou know you will,â you say.
ââKay, see you soon!â
She leaves after that, and Eddieâs gaze is already fixed on you when you turn towards him.
âCâmere,â he nods towards the doors that lead to the back room, where the station he tattooed you at is all set up.
âWhatâs this?â
âI want you to give me a tattoo.â
Your eyes widen, âsorry?â
âIâm serious. Doesnât have to be big, it can be a dot if you want,â he gently nudges your chin with his finger, closing your mouth where it was dropped in surprise. âI wanna teach you.â
Your friendship isnât the only thing thatâs grown since that night. Eddieâs become more touchy with you, too. An arm slung over your shoulders, a hand on your thigh or the nape of your neck. Though this touch is small, it doesnât fail to leave a lasting effect where it was placed, a warmth, like a drop of sunlight. It almost distracts you from what heâs asking.
âEddie, I canât. Iâll mess it up.â
âBabe, Iâve got loads of tattoos. Trust me, itâll be fine,â he moves his hand to your shoulder, gives it a squeeze. âPlus, youâve got a great teacher.â
It takes a bit longer for him to convince you, but he succeeds in the end. Itâs hard to say no to someone youâre in love with, especially if that someone has really good puppy dog eyes.
Before you really even process it, heâs on the tattoo bed, a pant leg rolled up, shaving a small patch for you to use as your canvas. He does all of the prepping necessary, and even goes as far as to put the gloves on for you.
He explains it all slowly, repeats whatever you ask him to, and promises to guide you through it all. Youâre incredibly nervousâwho wouldnât be?
âRelax. Youâre gonna be a natural, I know it.â
âHow do you know that?â
âYouâve got good hands, sweetheart,â he drops one of his eyelids in a wink.
The flirting is something else thatâs become more frequent. You think heâs flirting, that is. He doesnât act the same way with the rest of the group and you know that, but you also need to not get your hopes up. Still, the butterflies come alive.
You draw your stencil, settling on a very simple rendition of the sun. A small circle with short lines as its rays. Itâs fitting for him, you think. As much as he seems like midnight on the outside, that boy is dripping in sunshine.
It also goes with the one he gave you, but thatâs just a bonus.
Once itâs applied and youâre sat on the stool, in position to begin, he explains it all over again. He knows youâre nervous, but he isnât at all. Heâs excited to have you do this, to wear a piece of you on his skin.
His hand wraps around yours on the tattoo gun for the first line, guiding you so that you can get the feel of it. He lets you take over after that, assuring you that thereâs nothing you could mess up enough to have him dislike it, as long as youâre the one doing it.
As he watches you work, your tongue poking out between your lips in focus, he feels his chest swell. Heâs never liked anyone the way he does you, and heâs never let someone untrained tattoo him, thatâs for sure. Thereâs something in him that seems to brighten when youâre around, and he doesnât know how to put it into words.
He wishes he could pluck the moon out of the sky and hold it in his hand, only to be able to give it to you. Since he canât do that, he hopes his heart will do good enough. He loves you, that he knows, he just canât bring himself to say the words out loud.
Heâs warmed up to you quicker than ever, so much so that the people around him have noticed. That means something and he knows it.
âI think Iâm done,â you say after a bit.
âYeah? Letâs see this work of art then.â
He sits up, bends closer to his leg to get a look at your handiwork. Heâs silent at first and it makes you nervous.
âWhat do you think?â
âItâs perfect,â he says.
You know itâs far from perfect. The lines arenât even, nor are they all straight. But he says it like he means it, believes it, so you let yourself smile at that.
âYou sure?â
âYeah, sweetheart. Iâm super sure.â
He wouldnât have ever picked out the sun for himself, but knowing that you would has his walls crumbling even moreâif thatâs even possible with you.
He does the cleaning and the wrapping, and youâre happy to observe. Just as heâs finishing up, Robin and Nancy walk in, Steve not far behind.
âI leave you guys for not even an hour, and now you have a tattoo?â Robin says, though she doesnât even sound surprised.
-
Eddie thinks his feelings swell and grow every single time he sees you, and he thinks they might just boil over and pour out of him before he even gets to figure out what to say. That wonât do. You deserve more than that.
You deserve to be taken on a date, to be appreciated and taken care of properly, and thatâs what he needs to do. The only problem is, he has no idea how to go about it all.
Thereâs only one person he can think of who will know exactly what to do. The expert in dating; Steve. Eddie calls him into his office.
âWhatâs up, boss?â Steve says, leaning against the doorway the way he always does.
âClose the door, would you?â
âShit. Am I in trouble? I may have spilled some ink the other day but you can barely even see it, swears.â
Eddie shakes his head, making note to take a look around his station later. Heâs used to Steveâs clumsiness, though, itâs part of the reason he wanted dark floors in the shop.
âNo. Thatâs not- I need your help.â
âOh. Okay, hit me.â
âI want to ask her out. I just donât really know, um, where to take her or whatever.â
Eddie doesnât even have to say your name for Steve to know who heâs talking about. Heâs painfully aware that heâs been quite obvious with his affections, especially ever since the night you had sex. Heâs always itching to have his hands on you in some way, stealing you away from other conversations, all of it.
That night was like a wake up call for him, a bucket of cold water dumped over his head. He knew there was something about you before that, but it became concrete.
Heâd never felt so connected to someone, nor had he been so eager to take care of them afterwards. Hell, heâs never even slept in the same bed as his hookups. He can count on one hand the number of times heâs slept over at all. Then, there was you, asking him to stay and he couldnât say no to you. He didnât want to, either.
âYou know her better than I do, man. But, flowers, you gotta do. They love that. Do you know her favorites?â
Eddie shakes his head.
âThatâs fine. Get a good mix. Other than that, you should just be honest, thatâs what Robin always tells me,â he shrugs. âWhy donât you just call her now?â
âI donât know about that.â
âCome on! Sheâs gonna say yes. She gives you those lovey-dovey eyes all the time.â
âOkay, thatâs enough. Out.â
âNot even a thank you?â
âThanks, Steve. Bye.â
Steve rolls his eyes as he leaves Eddieâs office, shutting the door behind him again. He, along with Nancy and Robin, knows that you and Eddie will end up together, itâs obvious to everyone except you two, they only want to help it along.
Eddie really hopes that their pestering will be worth it in the end. That youâll feel the same.
He stares at the phone sitting on his desk for what feels like ages before he musters up the courage to actually call you. He had your file open on his desk, your number written out on one of the forms. He finally picks up the phone and dials it.
Luckily, you werenât at work. Youâd been thinking of Eddie more and more each day it seemed. How he looked at you, the secret smiles that he saved just for you, the way he touched you, the way he felt-
The phone ringing cuts off your train of thought. You walk over and pick it up, prepared for it to be Robin or Nancy since theyâre the only ones that ever call you besides your boss. The voice on the other line is neither of them.
âHello?â
âHey, sweetheart. Itâs Eddie.â
As close as youâve gotten, for some reason, no phone numbers have been exchanged. You wish they had been, because hearing his voice crackle through the phone is a much nicer sound than most.
âEddie, hi. Howâd you get my number?â
He twists one of his rings around with his thumb. Heâs glad you canât actually see him, because youâd surely be able to tell that heâs nervous.
âItâs on file in the shop. I hope you donât mind.â
âNot at all. I like talking to you,â you say, soft and sincere. âWhatâs up?â
âI, uh,â he shakes his head, trying to figure out exactly what to say. âAre you busy tonight?â
âNo, Iâm not. Do you guys want to do something?â
âNot exactly,â he says.
Your heart beats quicker in your chest, because you think heâs about to ask you out, maybe. If not that, then at least ask you to do something with just him, which is close enough for you to consider it a win. You smile like an idiot.
He clears his throat and continues, âI wanted to know if youâd want to go out⊠with me.â
Itâs happening, you think. Something is shifting as you speak, the feelings youâve tried to suppress for so long are itching to come out.
âLike a date?â You ask. Just to be sure.
âYeah, moon girl. Like a date.â
âIâd really, really like that, Eddie.â
He thinks you can probably hear the smile in his voice when he says, âyeah? Me too.â
He tells you heâll pick you up, to wear whatever you like, not to worry about being over or underdressed, âyouâll look pretty either way, trust me,â heâd said.
When you hang up, youâre trying not to jump around and squeal like a thirteen year old. Itâs difficult to contain your excitement, your nerves, your hope. It feels as if a door is opening. A door to more nights like that night, more mornings with shared breakfast, more kissing, more than friends. More, more, more.
Meanwhile, Eddieâs wondering how heâll get through the rest of the work day when his head is filled with the promise of seeing you.
-
After much debating on what to wear, no thanks to Eddieâs sweet yet vague instructions, the buzzer sounds in your apartment. You make your way over, one shoe on, the other in your hand. You press the button and speak.
âHello?â
âHey, moon girl.â
âEddie,â he only said three words and youâre already smiling. âCome on up.â
You rush to get your other shoe on, luckily finishing up just as he knocks on your door. Thereâs a moment where youâre almost expecting someone else to be on the other side, to have been dreaming the whole date up. Luckily, itâs real.
Eddie stands in the hall, pretty as ever. His hair is in its usual mess of waves and curls, his classic leather jacket and denim vest duo are on, and in his hand, a bouquet of flowers.
He notices you looking at them and holds them out, âthese are for you.â
âThis is really nice, Eddie. Thank you.â
You take them from him, holding them up to your nose to smell them (and also to hide how wide your grin is). He stands by the door, a ball of nerves, and watches you put them into a big cup, because you never had a reason to buy a vase until now. He decides next time, heâll deliver the flowers in a vase just so you have one.
He holds your hand on the way down, opens the car door for you and makes sure your legs are tucked inside before closing it, he tells you in at least three different ways how beautiful you look during the car ride alone, and he drives with a hand resting on your thigh, your fingers toying with his rings.
Heâs an absolute dream.
He takes you to a small restaurant, fancy enough for a dateâthough you think being with Eddie, no matter where, would be enough for youâbut casual enough that you arenât too worried about the people around you being judgemental. You sit in a booth and instead of across, Eddie sits beside you. He keeps a hand on your thigh during your meal, too.
In his car once more, youâre sitting in the parking lot with music playing through the speakers. Eddie hasnât made a move to start driving you yet, and you havenât even thought about going home. You havenât ever been on an official date before, but if you had, youâd say with absolute certainty that this is the best one.
You sit sideways in the passenger seat so you can look at him, and Eddieâs head is turned toward you, his cheek against the headrest.
âHave you had a girlfriend before?â You ask.
You donât know why the thought comes out of your mouth. Youâd been thinking it, though. Robinâs always hinting at how different he is with you, at the fact that Eddieâs never brought a girl heâs liked around his friends. Youâre curious.
âNo, I havenât. Why do you seem surprised?â
âItâs just, youâre really good at this.â
âAt what, sweetheart?â
âLike, going on a date. And⊠other stuff, too.â
He shifts in his seat, resting an elbow on the center console and leaning closer to you. Much, much closer. Your noses are almost touching and you can see the way his eyelashes frame his eyes.
He nudges his nose against yours, âwhat stuff?â
You know heâs teasing you, trying to make you give him more detail because itâll make you go all shy or embarrassed. To him, itâs cute, and heâs been trying not to kiss you all night. He was going to wait until he dropped you off like a proper gentleman, but he figures making it through dinner is good enough.
âEddie,â you draw his name out, almost whining.
âTell me. Come on, please? You canât just bring it up and not share.â
The hand of his that isnât resting between you comes up to push your hair over your shoulder, then slides around to hold the back of your neck loosely.
âGod, okay. Um, youâre a good kisser. Like, really good,â he leans in and pecks you for that, pulling away just enough to let you keep talking, your lips still brushing against his. âAnd, I love your hands.â
âMy hands?â
âTheyâre very talented. You know, âcause youâre an artist, and all.â
He huffs and shakes his head. Enough of the teasing, he leans in and kisses you deeper this time. Your hands move and grip the sides of his jacket, holding him close to you.
You kiss, and kiss, and kiss, and itâs enough to have you panting and warm all over. His hand squeezes your neck gently before he pulls away, his lips slick with spit, swollen and darker from your kiss. Youâre sure yours donât look much different.
Eddie drops his forehead against yours, takes both of your hands in his, âdo you want to go home?â
You shake your head.
âCan I show you my place, then?â
âYeah, okay. Iâd like that.â
Heâs not saying it to get you in his bed, though thereâs no doubt that would be a bonus, but he doesnât want this date to end. Thereâs also a part of him that wants to see you in his apartment, let you into more of his life.
Heâs only ever been to yours, and he doesnât have the whole group over at his, so youâve never seen it. He thinks, if heâs really going to give this a shot, he might as well let another wall crumble down for you.
The drive there is fairly quick, and yet again, his hand finds your thigh. This time, though, he lets his fingers hold on, rather than just rest in your lap. You like it a lot.
-
Eddieâs apartment isnât what you expect. You thought itâd be decorated like the shop: dark colors, black and white art, hints of red. His place is much warmer, much homier. It suits him perfectly.
He has a huge record collection, a whole wall of his living room dedicated to the shelves and the player itself. He also has a shelf for his books. Some more worn than others, letting you know which are his favorites of the bunch.
You trail your fingers along the spines, admiring his collection. He lets you, standing not too far away, enjoying how you look in his space.
His bathroom is much like yours, small and plain, but itâs tidy save for some products of his strewn about the counter. His bedroom is so obviously his that it makes you smile. From the rings and other jewelry sitting atop his dresser, to his dark gray bedding, to the guitars that are displayed proudly, to the desk pushed into a corner with pages upon pages spread about.
You gravitate towards that desk without a second thought.
Thereâs something so intimate about seeing his art station in his home, much different to his office at the shop. Here, he can let it be a mess, and can draw whatever he pleases.
âIs it okay if I look at these?â You ask.
ââCourse,â he says. He walks up behind you, lets his hands hold your sides loosely and rests his chin on your shoulder. You revel in the warmth of his chest against your back.
You pick up some of the loose pages, looking at the different pieces. Skulls and flowers and landscapes and so much more. He can do it all, you think. You can see so much detail, the strokes of his pencil, and itâs clear how much talent he has.
âThese are all beautiful, Eddie.â
He turns his head to peck your cheek, âthank you, sweetheart.â
You reach for a worn sketchbook next, the cover peeling at the edges and the pages nearly full. It flips open to where it seems to have been used the most, the spine broken. What you see makes you gasp quietly, but Eddieâs close enough to hear it.
Covering the pages are drawings of the moon. Over and over again he drew them. Some are big, taking up an entire page, and some are scrawled into corners and empty spaces, like he couldnât stop adding them. All of these drawings for your tattoo, and heâd only shown you a few.
âItâs weird, right?â Eddie says, hiding his face in your neck.
If heâs honest, he forgot that sketchbook was even there. He couldnât forget about the drawings you foundâyouâd taken up so much of his thoughts after meeting that he couldnât stop drawing the fucking moon for you. There are so many and heâs embarrassed by it, because he really was screwed after the first day even when he refused to see it.
âNo, itâs- these are all for me?â
âCouldnât stop thinking âbout you, so I drew these,â he speaks into your skin. âI was trying to avoid my feelings for you, but clearly, that didnât work. You wouldnât get out of my head and I had no idea why.â
You turn in his hold, leaving the sketchbook open on his desk. You look at him, the way his cheeks are pink at your finding of his drawings, the way his eyes flick between yours.
âI love them. Every single one,â I love you. âI thought about you a lot, too.â
âYeah?â
âMhm. So much. You made me nervous at first,â you admit, your hands fiddling with the collar of his shirt.
âIâm not used to, um, opening up to people and all. Iâve never even been in a relationship,â his hands come up and grab yours, like he needs the comfort. âYou make me want to try, though.â
You have to say it. Thereâs no way you canât, not when heâs looking at you with those eyes filled with something.
âI love you, Eddie,â his eyes widen, he freezes. âYou donât have to say it back or anything, I just really needed to tell you. Youâre the first sense of comfort Iâve found since I moved, and I donât think I would have felt at home without you and I love you.â
No matter how scared he is to be with you, because he wants to be someone worth being with and he doesnât know what heâs doing, he canât ignore the fact that he loves you right back. And he hasnât said those words to many people in his life.
Itâs big for him, so big that heâs stumbling over his words but he tries anyway.
âOh my god,â he kisses your knuckles, âI love you, sweetheart. My moon girl, fuck, I love you, too. Iâve never done this before, but thereâs nobody else Iâd want. Nobody.â
You feel so many things at once. Relief and happiness and a thousand fireworks in your gut and in your heart. You grab his face with your hands and drag him down to kiss you.
Itâs broken by your smiles, your teeth bumping into each other but neither of you care one bit. He holds your wrists gently, returns your kiss with ease. Heâs delicate with his touch, so, so perfect with his lips on yours.
He only pulls away to ask, âwill you be mine? Be my girlfriend?â
You nod vehemently, âbeen yours since you kissed me the first time. Probably even before that.â
Youâre not worried about the âtold you soâs youâre sure to get from your friends, or what happens next because you know whatever it is, Eddieâs gonna be there.
âThink you had me the minute you started talking âbout the moon.â He just didnât know it yet.

It's a Lifestyle
AN | Hello, its me! Back from the dead for my favorite time of the year. It's just a sweet little scene with Eddie and his angel and their love of Halloween! đ„°
Warnings | Language
Word Count | 2.1k
Masterlist | Main, EddieÂ
âââ  ïœĄïŸâ: *.✠.* :âïŸ. âââ
Eddie looked forward to coming home every day. So much. Like so much.Â
Because he always knew that you'd be there, excited to see him, even if it hadn't been that long since you'd last seen each other.
He parked his truck in the driveway of the small house that now belonged to the two of you.
A very own home for you both.
He noted your car in the driveway as well, but when he came inside the house, you weren't there to greet him. He took off his boots and set them by the door, reaching down to pet Pickles as she wound herself around his legs. The small black cat purred loudly before giving him one final rub and heading over to the window to sit on the ledge and stare outside. People and animal watching had become a favorite pastime of hers.
"Angel?â he called out, wondering where you had managed to disappear too. He poked around downstairs but found nothing but the delicious smell of fresh brownies. It was like you'd known that he had been craving them. You definitely made the best browniesâŠnot that he was biased or anything.
When you didn't answer him, he climbed up the stairs, assuming you were in the bedroom or office orâŠsomewhere. Hopefully.
As he got to the top of the stairs, the floor squeaked slightly. That alone was enough to alert you to his presence, âEddie?â
He followed the sound of your voice down the hall and around the corner, finding the stairs to the attic pulled down, âits just me. What're you doing up there?â
âHi my love,â your pretty face appeared and made him smile, âI'm just going through some boxes to find the Halloween Decorations! I know I have some from the years past-â
âIt's not even September yet,â Eddie raised an eyebrow, amusement written all over his face. He was trying not to laugh, but it was all in good fun.
âHalloween is a year round tradition, Edward!â You beckoned for him to come up the stairs, âits not my fault that my year round decor just happens to be Halloween appropriate. Halloween is a lifestyle.â
âI thought it was a holiday?â He started to make the short climb, quickly standing up next to you. He gently took your face in his hands, beaming at you.
âIt's a lifestyle,â you repeated, putting your hands on his forearms, smiling back at him, âhi.â
âHi,â he leaned and kissed you softly, pulling away much sooner than you would have liked, but you knew you'd get plenty more later, âHalloween being a lifestyle choice makes sense considering your skull collection.â
âIt is an impressive skull collection,â you mused before kissing him again. When he had first met you he was surprised to find that you collected all sorts of different replica skulls. You didn't give off the vibe immediately but he found that they did suit you, âwanna help me decorate, handsome?â
âFor you? Anything,â he agreed, heart swelling at the pure joy on your face, âyou want to decorate now? We'll decorate now.â
âAnd maybe go shopping for some new decorations?â
âSure baby,â he promised, âyou never decorated our old apartment much.â
âIt was small,â you shrugged softly, âand that only felt like a home because of you. But this is our home now, one we worked hard for. And there's no one else I'd rather be here with. Now we have the freedom and ability to make it our own, however we want.â
âYeah,â fondness colored his voice as he pressed a kiss to your forehead, âI love you, you know?â
âI love you,â you threw your arms around him and gave him a cuddly, tender embrace, ânow, my love, will you help me bring the boxes downstairs?â
âYeah, yeah,â he sighed dramatically before immediately getting ready to bring everything down the ladder. You could have asked him for the moon and stars and would have gotten them for you, âI hope you know I'm only being nice because you made brownies.â
âI knew I made them for a reason,â you grinned at him, âyou're not a hard sell, Eddie Munson.â
âYou're lucky I love you!â
âI love you lots and lots,â you promised, moving the first box towards him so he could bring it down, âand then some!â
âââ  ïœĄïŸâ: *.✠.* :âïŸ. âââ
âI'm not sure about this,â Eddie frowned at the coffee currently nestled in your hand, eyebrows almost disappearing into his dark curls, âwhy do you want a drink that tastes like pumpkin?â
He was, meanwhile and as usual, holding a cup of hot, black coffee. You grinned and shrugged your shoulders before talking a long sip, âbecause it's delicious and the right amount of sweet and spicy. Besides, it doesn't taste like pumpkin, it's the spices. Try it.â
âWhat if I die?â He scoffed dramatically before taking the cup of your hand taking a tentative sip. You watched his face go through several emotions before he finally swallowed.
âIt's good, huh?â You knew him well enough by now to know when he liked something. He mumbled something under his breath before handing the coffee back to you, âand you didn't die.â
âIt'sâŠacceptable,â he tried to play it off but you could see him struggle to hold his laugh back. He quickly grabbed it again and took another sip, âI wouldn't try it again.â
âWhatever,â you kissed his cheek before taking your coffee back and looping your arm through his, walking him in the direction of the home goods store you'd dragged him to. Not that he was really complaining - he loved Halloween too after all, âyou don't have to admit I'm right.â
âYou wish,â he rolled his eyes dramatically, eyes widening when he noticed all the Halloween items in the shopâs window display, âwow. That's so much HalloweenâŠand it's still so early in the season.â
âThat's how it is nowadays,â you shrugged, âbut it's to my advantage!â
âWhat exactly is that you're looking for?â
You moved to step in front of him, looking ridiculously cute in your sweater and scarf and boots, all bundled up to stay warm, âwe are looking for whatever speaks to us. You gotta feel it in your gut.â
He couldn't help but laugh as you reached for his hand and laced your fingers through his, âwhatever you say, angel.â
âWe don't have to do this,â you whispered softly, âif you don't want to, I don't want to make you do this, or to make you feel obligated-â
âI want to do this,â he promised, âI love spending time with you, whatever we do.â
âMe too,â you relaxed, smiling shyly at your boyfriend. You reached over and tucked a rogue curl that had escaped from his bun behind his ear, âc'mon on then! Oh - you get to pick what we do next. Wanna go to Guitar Center maybe?â
His eyes lit up as he nodded. He knew that you weren't a music nerd like him, but you always listened intently when he spoke about it, often getting very passionate. You always supported him and his music and he couldn't ask for more.
 âHell yeah.â
âââ  ïœĄïŸâ: *.✠.* :âïŸ. âââ
That afternoon you spent several hours walking around and looking for the perfect Halloween and fall decor for the house. It was, admittedly, a lot more fun than Eddie could have imagined.
Plus, the two of you had gone to Guitar Center afterwards. Which hadn't hurt. You always felt like you were lost when Eddie got really into talking about music, but you loved how passionate he was about musicâŠeverything really.
The only thing that was left to do was to get pumpkins for the front porch and maybe some pie. But that you wanted to do closer to actual Halloween so the pumpkins wouldn't rot. Although Eddie had insisted that would look metal as fuck.Â
The two of you had decided to make it a date day and by the time the two of you were heading home it was later into the evening. Eddie was driving your car, one hand on the wheel and the other one was holding yours.
Music was playing quietly as the two of you talked about anything and everything that crossed your mind. After a while, a content silence fell over the two of you as you stared out the window at the passing scenery.
âWhat're you thinking about, angel?â He quickly turned his head to look at you, his face illuminated by the passing street lights.
âNothing,â you felt your cheeks warm up, and keep your eyes turned from his. he squeezed your hand and you knew better than to think he would leave it alone. That wasn't his style at all. You turned your head to face him, squinting your eyes before sighing, âAlright, its something. But it's silly and you're going to laugh.â
âI wouldn't laugh,â he insisted as you raised an eyebrow at him, âfine, I won't laugh unless it's very laugh worthy.â
âYou're such an ass,â but you were laughing now, the sound full of adoration and affection, âI was just thinking about how much I love this.â
âThis?â
âUs,â you watched a smile tug up the corners of his mouth, âI love being with you. I love you.â
âI love you too,â he turned the street to your house, effortlessly pulling into the driveway and parking the car. You unbuckled your seat belt and turned to him, looking at him sweetly, âwhat? You're looking at me all funny.â
âI'm not looking at you funny,â you leaned over the center console and traced your fingers gently along his jaw, âI just really love you.â
âAndâŠ? I know there's something else you're not saying,â he took your chin in his hand and tilted your face up towards him, âout with it angel.â
âIt's just that,â you bit your lip, sucking in a slow breath, âI can't wait to marry you one day. I mean. I know this is all real, that what we have is real. But I also can't wait to call you my husband one day. It's like an added little bonus.â
âOh,â his pale cheeks turned bright pink as he tried to control his excitement. At first you were worried that he wasn't going to share the same sentiment but any worry that popped up quickly disappeared, âI can't wait for that either. I can't wait to call you my wife one day.â
âAnd you'll be my husband,â you whispered as he nodded eagerly, âyou want to marry me too?â
âOf course I do,â he admitted shyly, âand I'm going to propose. You'll just have to wait and see when that is. It'll happen but you'll never know when.â
âUntil it happensâŠâ
âUntil it happens,â he agreed. Eddie held out his hands and motioned for you to shuffle over the center console, âc'mere.â
âWe're in the car!â
âDon't care,â he insisted, helping you over and onto his lap, âjust wanna be close to you.â
âEven better,â you whispered as you wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled him close to your lips so you could kiss him. He sighed softly against your lips, his warm and sweet smell overwhelming you in the best ways possible, âI love you so much, Eddie. Thank you for always dealing with me and my shenanigans.â
âI've never dealing with you,â he nudged his nose against yours, âI love every bit of you. Plus I also enjoy all of your so called shenanigans. We just haveâŠadventures. Silly ones, but good ones. and I happen to love Halloween as much as you. It's a win-win for me.â
âFor both of us,â you pressed your forehead against his, âdo you wanna go inside and put up some of the stuff we got?â
âYes,â he agreed eagerly, âbut I want to enjoy some more of you first.â
âWhatâŠoh,â you grinned, âI would very much like that.â
âLet's go then,â he opened the door and gently helped you out of the car, âno time to waste, m'lady.â
âYou're such a dork!â
âSo are you,â he countered, âbut I love you regardless.â
âAnd I love you, Eddie."
