includes: f! reader, aged up! best friend yuuji, cheating, cunnilingus, breeding (kinda), anal mentioned, bad idea mistakes made. not proofread at all
yuuji is the best best friend anyone could ever ask for.
you're sobbing your eyes out? heâs there to rub your back and hold your tissues. you're having health problems that are waaaayy too embarrassing to tell a doctor? heâs doing extensive research to try to figure out how to help you. you're super drunk and throwing up? heâs holding your hair back, whispering how it's all gonna be alright. you're super hungover? don't worry! he has just the thing. you post a picture of yourself? heâs your number one hype man, leaving an insane amount of comments about how you came, served cunt, ate without leaving any crumbs, and left. the point is: he is the best.
unfortunately, however, most guys aren't the biggest fan of girls with a boy best friend. but don't fret! yuuji will be there to comfort you about feeling lonely. after all, he's always here for you.
oh! fortunately, however, you finally find yourself in a relationship with a guy that just adores you, and doesn't give two shits about yuuji as long as he doesn't pull anything. and, of course, yuuji would never pull anything.
not-so-fortunately, however, after over a year of dating, your amazing boyfie is gone on a work trip for months.
you have needs! needs heâd usually be fulfilling! how could he leave you like this? all alone! it's so sad, truly. your hands or measly toys will never feel as good as the real thing.
naturally, tmi has never once existed in you and yuujiâs friendship. so you end up on a call with him, yakking his ear off about how desperately you need a dick appointment. you just keep going on and on and on about way too many details of the sex you so dearly miss.
âand he's so good with his mouth!â you continue, not even giving yuuji the opportunity to respond, âlike, there's no way i can do that to myself! uuuuugggghâwhenâs he coming home?â you're pacing your bedroom, getting almost antsy, as you blab.
yuujiâs on the other line, just giggling occasionally, letting you ramble all you want. but, suddenly, something pops into his head.
âoh, god, he does this one thing with his tonguââ
âwhy don't i help you out?â the words are rolling out of his mouth.
why you agreed is unbeknownst to you, but yuuji is down on his knees on the floor of your apartment in less than fifteen minutes nonetheless.
of course, you'd never cheat on your boyfriend! that's not what you're doing! this is just a favor, right? a friendly little thing. yuuji doesn't want his best friend to be all sad and frustrated. he just can't bear to see you like that any longer.
your pussy is prettier than he imagined (yes, heâs imagined her beforeâone too many times you've bent over in a too short skirt and almost accidentally flashed him or a few too many pairs of pants that hug her too tight and you somehow how don't notice). he stares for a moment up at your leaky cunt in what must be awe once your pants are pulled off and you're lazily spreading your legs apart for him on the edge of your bed.
heâs not gonna tell you he thinks you're pretty. well, not now. obviously, you're etherealâheâs told you beforeâbut, when he's inching his parted lips toward your swollen clit, heâs gonna keep his mouth metaphorically shut.
his eyes flutter shut in unison with yours as his tongue flattens on the underside of your little bundle of nerves. your hands slap into his hair, it's shorter than your boyfriendâs, but itâll do. his hands hold your legs far enough open with his big hands while he absolutely loses himself in your pussy.
this wasn't his first rodeo, but your taste, your cunt, your everything is far from anything heâd ever had before. perfect is the only word he knows to describe it, but even that doesn't come close.
he's moaning maybe more than you are as he laps at the sap oozing out of you. his dick feels like it's being suffocated in the strict confines of his sweats and boxers; he's not sure he's even been this hard before.
though, he knows this isn't for him. he can go rub one out when he's left you satisfied, but he has to get you satisfied first. this is just a favor for you.
but, when you're squirting down his throat shamefully quick, he canât help but help the sadness that heâd have to go so soon. you're convulsing and mewling out incoherent words that sound suspiciously close to yuujiâs name. your mind feels a mess. you hadn't cum since the last time your boyfriend was home (which felt so long ago now, even longer than it had been), but something was telling you it wasn't enough.
he pulls away to do somethingâwipe your juices that were trickling down his chin, say something to you, or get a rag to clean you upâbut his actions are interrupted with an almost lightning fast reflex shove on the back of his head, forcing his mouth against your cunt again. for the first time since he started, he glances up at your face, all sweaty and plastered with the most beautifully erotic look.
âyuuji,â you breathe out, completely forgetting what youâd half-heartedly mentioned about not wanting to use his name so it didn't feel so intimate, âwanâ your tongue in me.â your words are lewd, words yuuji never expected to hear from your mouth, especially directed at him. his cock twitches a little in its cotton prison, pre-cum oozing from his pretty pink tip and leaving a dark spot in his boxers.
he can't say no to you.
he dips his head lower, the tip of his nose pressed just below your clit as he tentatively presses his hot tongue into your hole. you're squeezing around him instantly with a grip that his him worried you might suck his tongue out of his mouth. you can't help but to throw your head back and moan all too loud while gripping his hair harder than youâve ever gripped anything in your life.
he's practically just french kissing your cunt, no real direction or plan considering heâs just as lost in your pussy as you are in his mouth, but it brings a sense of nirvana to you anyway. it feels like your soul has left your body, replacing any sense of self with some sort of sex fiend who wants yuuji.
maybe it's the lack of recent adequate stimulation, maybe it's the fact that's is yuuji, maybe it's something else entirely, but, either way, you are a mess. hiccuping through shrill moans, legs shaking and thrashing, eyes bolted shut, knuckles turning white from your grasp on yuujiâs pink locks, pussy throbbing. youâre not sure youâve been such a desperate, horny creature of a woman ever in your life. but, is the explanation really necessary? not when you start grinding down on yuujiâs face, no.
you're swiping your slick soaked folds up and down over his nose, moaning and whimpering when your clit rolls over the slope just right. it's even more heavenly when yuuji shoves his tongue further inside you, sending vibrations up into you with a groan at how you humped his face.
when you're suddenly cumming on his face again, with a sharp âyuuji!â, youâre sure your brain is all gone. any sense of rationality, of anything at all was gone. you should be worried about how wrong this is, how the old lady whose apartment is next to yours thatâs way too invested in you and your boyfriend's relationship will definitely ask why you were screaming another man's name. but, you're not. you're not worried about anything but your best friend and his magical mouth.
his brain's out the window too. which is why he doesn't think twice before crawling on top of you and latching his lips onto yours. he's tugging his pants and boxers down with such fervor while his other hand gropes your tits and pushes you down on your bed, the same bed youâd gossiped and giggled in with the man on top of you. you can taste yourself on your lips, but it doesn't make you cringe like you thought it wouldâthough you're a little too focused on the absolutely delightful kiss youâre sharing.
âi know you said that iâd just be eating you out,â he mumbles against your lips between heavy kisses once his cock is finally free, âbut, please.â
you don't even remember what you said at this point as you nod dumbly.
he practically moans at the permission alone. he holds the base of his dick and swipes the tip up and down your sopping folds, only pulling away from your kiss swollen lips to stare at the lewd sight. you don't look, letting your head roll back and tongue loll out of your mouth.
the second his fat tip is pushing past your weakened ring of resistance, he's moaning like a bitch in heat. he can't decide whether to let his eyes roll so far back he can see his brain or ogle the filthy scene between you two. he listens to the delectable, unfiltered noises that bubble out of your throat without so much as breath between, and it only fuels the fire of need in his stomach.
he's thought of you before. he couldn't help it, who could? on nights of pumping his fist when his imagination ran too wild or he ran out of porn to watch, of course the most important girl in his life would pop up. bent over with your face stuffed in the pillows, pretty cunt glistening with your wetness on full display for his eyes. or your plump lips (that your boyfriend always got to kiss, how unfair) wrapped around his cock, hollowing your cheeks and holding only the most orgasm inducing eye contact as you take him down your throat expertly. or maybe even his cock using your ass while his fingers plunge in out of your pussy, amorous and perverted sloshing sounds filling his earsâ
oh, yeah. reality.
heâs only about halfway in, and the sheer girth of his cock as you arching you back and writhing in place. it would hurt if he didn't make you cum oh-so hard twice in a row. he pulls his hand away from his base to roll his shaky thumb over your abused clitty, earning a sharp hiss from you. though, it goes unnoticed.
everything is unnoticed by yuuji right now. he could barely tell you his own name with the way your hole is sucking the dear life out of his cock. condoms? what are those? your boyfriend? whoâs that? any woman other than you? doesn't exist.
tears are forming in your hazy eyes once he bottoms out, the feeling of being so full registering you nothing but a personified mess of pleasure. yuuji was clearly bigger than your boyfriend, not by much length wise, but he was much thicker, stretching out your gummy walls.
he doesn't give you much time to recover (not like you want it anyway) before he's slamming in and out of you. your basically limp body bounces up with each mean thrust of his hips, drilling his cock so perfectly up into you. his thumb is still lazily circling your clit.
it's not long before he's practically begging to cum. with all sense long disappeared, you agree, feeling on edge again yourself.
he mumbles a thanks as his pace grows impossibly harder and sloppier, reaching an previously undiscovered spot deep inside you that has you breathlessly gasping out little âah! ah! ah! ah!âs with each ram against it. your clenching around him, trying to milk him for all his worth as your release washes over you a third time.
as you coat his cock and hand and add the puddle of your juices under your ass, he stops his aimless thrusts to force his cock so deep inside you that you see nothing but starsâit's like he's trying to get you pregnant. hot, sticky cum fills you up to the brim, overflowing your cunt.
and it's as he finishes oh-so deep inside your pussy, tip kissing your cervix, that he mutters three words. words heâd said to you before, words youâd said back to him, though in much different contexts. after long, heartelt talks, after a really great stress relieving hangout, when you're hanging up the phone, when you just want to appreciate your best friend. but, this isn't one of those times. he's filling you with cum, saying,
âi love you.â

ghoap having an obsession with your arse and how they look in ratty joggers like the first time they saw you at some corner store trying to buy scratch offs, or the denims you'd squeezed it into for the first date, the way it looks while you're on your knees, the meat of it bouncing against simon's hips with every jarring thrust (mouth wrapped so prettily around soap's girth, having to give it a rest every other minute or so to prevent your jaw from locking up) and the most exquisite of all is how it looks after the upteenth time of trying to sneak out their flat through the bathroom window (and getting stuck in it) because you'd come to get fucked for a night, not a week now turning two.
#they feed your cat so dw bout it#he's doing *fine*#oh how they hate to see you go but they love to watch you leave#next time you'll think about having a behind at all#yall gotta be just back and then legs#no ass sorry#ghoap x reader

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#the fact that people think scum villain#-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me#especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater#heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series#he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters#(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters#like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx#I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes#side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me#i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation#but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years#like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain#the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too#+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu#as âso bland he's tempted to throw salt on himselfâ and âall he could do is lay around and wait for deathâ (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people#another point on âShen Yuan isnât lazyâ is just the sheer amount of studying that man does#also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be#he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students#and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing#+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this#but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

please tell us more about hector's quirks o great sniler
also your art and tags bring me so much joy!! hope you have a wonderful weekend :D
Context: In a previous post i drew Hector with visible seems on his body and in the tags said he has a few ... quirks for being an ex-god.
Hector will quite literally fall apart at a random seam (or a few) if he gets too wrapped up in destructive/unhealthy thinking now. If you wanna think about it in a more terrifying context this is essentially what i headcanoned happened to his body when he ascended - except in the rift it all dissipated, leaving him as how he was as Inspekta.
Once you go in the rift even if you choose to leave it still will affect you. You will have to live with the choices you made either way. You climbed the tower of Babel and looked gods in the eye as an equal- you do NOT return the same.
#ggg spoilers#great god grove#ggg hector#ggg godpoke#ggg inspekta#also i hope yall enjoy how i set the comic up as angst and immediately ruined it with the bit of his head popping off#and his body falling into the fucking creek#i love setting up bits like this its just. very personally funny to me#this is still very sucks for hector though despite it being silly#also besides the silly bit. i do really have thoughts about this.#THOUGH TO BE FAIR. I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS. AN INSANE AMOUNT.#'BOUT MANY VARIOUS THINGS#but just. something something metaphor about falling apart emotionally taken physically & literally + a disability metaphor#being changed in an unfathomable manner to reach divinity and then even if you return your form is still perverted in some way#and its tied to how you see yourself and your mental health#sniles ..... :]#also thank u so much anon it means lot people actually enjoy my art and insane rambles#i was used to radio silence most the time when making art unless directly dming friends so its nice to see.... any response honestly#i esp love seeing people making noises in tags in response to my art because. yeah. felt. oooooouuuughgghghg

He's Definitely Obsessed With You: Chapter 3
Chapter 3: Just Kiss Already
Plot: You and Logan are finally beginning to navigate your relationship and your new lives together. Logan is carrying dark secrets, and finally opens up to you.
A/N: Oh lordy I'm finally done with it. It turned out so fluffy in the beginning and angsty in the end. It'll get better! (Then worse)
Warnings: Mentions of war, past history of violence, anxiety, a bit of jealously, a bunch of fluff towards the beginning, angst near the end, mentions of a past assault (not logan or reader) Logan just needs a hug, so does reader. Also logan is probably not super accurate to his character..?
Word Count: 7470
Prev<- â¤ď¸ ->Next
Years of aching for someone you werenât sure cared about you the same you did for them was forgotten about the moment Logan came back into your life.
The comfort and safety you always felt in his presence resumed, the admiration of the man you grew to know for over a year in a jungle had only grown stronger as you watched him adjust to a new life and do it with grace. Perhaps itâs because heâs done it before, he knew the drill. Yet still, you found yourself falling for him all over again. You knew him as Logan Howlett, soldier. While you both shared a closeness, there was still a war, there was always an air between you that prevented anything further developing. The most that would happen between you would be conversations of the future, lingering touches, and side glances. Now you could know him as Logan Howlett, friend. Although thatâs not necessarily what youâd call your relationship.
Things were unspoken between you.
You found yourself truly looking forward to going out now, because he was going to be there. Although you didnât go to the wild parties that Rose likes. That wasnât Logans style and honestly wasnât yours either, albeit you did it to please Rose and told yourself that it was a good idea even if you ended up dreading the whole ordeal anyway. You and Logan found yourselves doing moreâŚDomestic activities. Movies, festivals, dinners, lunches, the local bar, even the gym.Â
âYou wanna go see the Exorcist tomorrow night?âÂ
Logan turned his attention away from the drunken people very badly singing karaoke at the small stage the bar had. The karaoke machine was a new addition to the lively bar, adding more atmosphere to the place that was already unique in itâs burnt orange and brown color scheme, neon signs, and pop art littering the walls. You were sitting in a booth together, his arm draped loosely around you. He quirked his brow in questioning.Â
âThe Exorcist?..â He asked, then smirked. âAinât that a movie about demons and all?â
âYeeesss.â You respond with a singsong voice, meeting his eyes. He sipped his whiskey, not breaking eye contact from you.Â
âNo.â He says after firmly setting his beer back on the table. He licked his lips of the droplets of whiskey left on them, and you couldnât help but stare and think, âI could clean that up for youâ
You think a lot of things about Logan now. You donât plan to stop. At one point you wouldâve felt guilty to think something of a friend. You and Logan could not be considered friends anymore.
âWhy not?â You asked in a whine. âI wanna see it! It looks good! My friend Marie says it was cool!â
âItâs gonna scare you. Just like that last movie.â He says. âThen I gotta listen to you whine about it. Youâre gonna call me and complain about being too scared to sleep. Then neither of us will get any sleep.âÂ
âSo?â You grin. âThereâs an easy solution to that.â
âIs that so?â
âYou just come stay with me after, and then I wonât be too scared. Your presence will scare off all the bad guys.â
Logan raised his brows up. âYeah? Where am I gonna sleep then? Your couch?â He leans in, and you felt a deep crimson blush burning at your cheeks under his flirty stare. âNot very comfortable.âÂ
âMaybe you wouldnât have to sleep on the couch.â You say, and you could feel your breath hitching at the idea. Logan smiled, but it wasnât his usual sweet smile he gave you. This was something darker and moreâŚlustful, that you were beginning to see more often when you two talked. Lately, all your conversations turn to something flirty, indiciating the rising tensions between you.Â
He opened his mouth to say something, but Rose interrupted.
âAlright! Here you go, me and Adam got refills for you guys.â She says, as her- and Adam, who was the leather daddy you seen her makeout with the night Logan came home. Apparently heâd made enough of an impression on her to keep him around. You and Logan separated, occurring to both of you just how close youâve gotten in the booth. He never removed his arm from your shoulders though, his hand gently squeezing the shoulder it was resting on, as you gave him a side glance, noticing a hint of pink on his ears.Â
Things were very unspoken between you.
The way your relationship has developed since he returned was something you thought you would only dream of.Â
You got to see more of that playful, boyish charm Logan had that you saw hints of in Vietnam. The charm that made you always crave to see more. Not that you couldnât love his broody self as well. Each had their own perks that made you smile, where you couldnât help but think âheâs so cute.â The way heâd tease you, not in a mean way, more loving as he pokes fun at things such as your outfits, though youâd see the sliver of desire come across his eyes when you come in with those high-waisted jeans and low cut top, highlighting your figure for him in ways he didnât get to see with your army scrubs. You watched him open up to the world. Heâd gotten a great job at the local lumber mill, and even fixed his cabin up a bit, considering it was left empty for years while he was gone. He decorated, got new furniture and everything. Rose implied it was to impress you but you think he was simply just trying toâŚMake a home for himself after being gone for so long.Â
He was taking up hobbies like boxing, which you certainly enjoyed watching, as youâd go to the gym with him occasionally in attempts to committing to your own workout (news flash, you arenât very successful). You werenât exactly a fan of the fighting, you didnât like seeing Logan getting punched, but lord the intense concentration on his face, how his brows crease as he scowls at his opponent, the way sweat covered his body head to toe after brawling for an hour. You may not have understood the appeal of fighting each other. A male thing, it must be. You watched the boys in Vietnam do the same thing, practicing boxing and wrestling and all, although that was probably more practice than a hobby.. You did understand the appeal of observing. At least, observing him.Â
You watched Logan as he quickly dodged and punched his opponent, effectively knocking him back. A few more swings and it was a knock out. You couldnât help but smile to yourself, shaking your head as you still didnât understand the whole appeal. Male ego? Still, there was a certainâŚattraction to seeing how powerful he really can be. You knew that he was actually holding back when he boxes. If he applied his real physical strength- the mutant aspect to his strength, the other side would be down in seconds. Instead, Logan used boxing as a way to focus on his own movements, teaching him to be quick on his feet and defensive.
Logan was watching you as you were distracted with your gym bag, taking a heavy drink of water from his bottle, he took in your outfit, the way it hugged your body and curves, you had worn a workout outfit before, shorts and tank top and it was driving him wild as he kept an eye on you while you were running on the treadmill. Seems like no matter what you do, or wear, you always drive him crazy.. Grabbing a towel, he patted his forehead and hands dry, as he walked to the otherside of the ring where you were, perched on a bench. He nodded to his opponent, a coworker from work, before climbing over the ropes and hopping to the ground. You always waited for him to finish up when you went to the gyn with him, and the both of you would go to lunch together after.Â
âEnjoy the show?â He grinned. You rolled your eyes.Â
âEnjoy the senseless punching each other? Totally.â You scoffed, but it was merely teasing. You were glad to see him enjoying himself. You stood up from the bench, going to grab your bag, but he picked it up for you instead, stepping close to grab it, his chest bumping your shoulder and you turned to look at him. Your eyes met and you felt that familiar electricity run between you both.
He looked down at you and the look he gave you felt like he wanted to eat you alive. It led to a warm feeling that sunk low in your belly. You noticed Logans nostrils flared and his eyes darkened.Â
âYou sure you didnât enjoy that sweetheart?â He says in a low voice, âWatching me?âÂ
He lowered his head down towards you, and you felt like your heart was in your throat. You saw his eyes flick down to your lips. You swallowed but before you could say anything-
âHey Logan, good job today man-âÂ
Logans coworker and sparing opponent came up behind him, smacking him on the back and starting conversation, forcing Logan to step away from you, the heat of the moment evaporating. Although you saw him glance at your while his friend talked, and there seemed to be the lingering look of desire, excepting softer. Yearning.Â
You knew though it wasnât always happy for Logan though. You knew of the nightmares heâd have, the fits of panic. There was things he didnât tell you. You didnât ask. You knew if and when heâs ready to talk, he will.Â
You found yourself happy with Logan, the way things are. You had felt such need for him for so long, and now that he was here- you surely thought youâd be desperate for his love and attention. Simply though, you enjoyed the time with him. Things didnât feelâŚrushed. Maybe it was because in Vietnam, you constantly wondered if you would wake up to an attack, or a bomb, or something. You savored the small joys, like a warm Coke, or music on the radio, or just being able to laugh with Logan. Now though youâre able to enjoy those not just because you donât have to worry about threats on your life, but because now you know that you and Logan had the rest of your lives to understand each other, for something to work out on itâs own time. It had be a couple years since he came back, and you both moved towards something steadily.Â
1975, Alberta, Canada
You were working your shift at the hospital. The hospital had just built a new wing- an emergency center, and you were one the lucky nurses to get transferred over. Apparently your history of being in Vietnam made them think youâd be a wonderful addition to an emergency wing where being quick on your feet, and attention to detail was important.Â
Of course they were right but you would have liked to had a choice in the matter.Â
Especially since they decided you were to be the charge nurse as well. Without asking.Â
Now you were bombarded with all sorts of new duties. Stuff that you didnât even know existed in doing. Honestly, you believed that this was just the Chief of Staffs way of dumping stuff he didnât want to deal with on you. You had medical forms to fill out, request forms to put in, and patients to worry about-
Huh, that felt like deja vuâŚ.
You were out in the main lobby, acting as triage for now. They were quick in putting you in charge of nurses, supply and drug lists, and various other adminstrative work, yet not quick in hiring more nurses to help you out. Anytime you complained, your boss would remind you,
 âWhat an absolute honor it is for you to even have this job, with all the womens rights going on. Those ladies would kill to have a job like yours! I mean, iâm sure you wouldnât be able to find a job THIS progressive at another hospitalâŚâÂ
What a dick.
âHey honey,â You heard Rose behind you, and you turned in your chair and gave her a sneering smile.
âWell hello-â You greet sarcastically. âHows life on the 3rd floor?â
âWhew! Someones bitter.â Rose chuckled. âItâs great, actually. I get breaks, lunches, and all I gotta do is assist the doctors with no extra responsibilities. No uh, administration work, or lack of staffing, or yâknow, dealing with someone who shoved something up their ass.â She bragged.
You scoffed. âYou got it completely wrong. Iâm very happy here. Mind you.â You rolled your eyes.Â
âYeah, you totally look happy.â Rose crosses her arms, an amused smile as she looked down at you in your seat. She looked up, and an even more amused look came across her face. âAlthough I think your day is about to get better.â
âWhat?â You blinked, before turning to see who she was talking about.Â
You would be embarrassed by how fast you smiled and got up from your chair, but honestly you couldâve cared less.Â
Logan had walked in, wearing those jeans you loved on him, a jacket resting over a flannel, and a white t-shirt. He does like his layers, but in snowy Canada- you needed it. He spotted you, and smiled as you both approached each other in the lobby- which was fairly empty, meeting in the middle.Â
âWhat are you doing here?â you asked.Â
âYou going on lunch soon? Figured I take you out, since youâve seem so stressed latelyâŚâ He smiles.Â
âOh-â Your shoulders slacked. âThatâs sweet, my lunch was an hour ago thoughâŚâ You pursed your lips together, âSorry.â
âOh, well, how about a break then? IâllâŚget you a candy bar or something.â He says, a small shrug of his shoulders, his smile fading into something more genuine and close. You perked up.
âYeah, that actually sounds good, I can take a break. Wait for me outside, Iâll be right back.â You hold your hand up, turning to go back to your desk and say goodbye to Rose. She was watching you guys in amusement as you walked back to her, grabbing your jacket off the back of your chair, and your pager off your desk, and shooting her a Donât you dare say anything look. If you thought she was riding on you hard before Logan came back, she got ten times worse. She says the tension between you two was practically unbearable. You have no idea what sheâs talking about. She gave you a knowing smile and you rolled your eyes, turning around and pulling your jacket on as you walked back towards the entrance, letting another nurse know you were going on break and to page you if anything is needed.Â
You met Logan outside, where he was currently banging on a vending machine with his hand. You smiled at the sight, this tall lumbering man, scowling at the machine.Â
âYknow you need to give it money first?â You called out to him, and he lifted his head and smirked.Â
âAte my quarters.â He says.Â
âWatch- and learn.â You wink. You reached into your jacket, pulling out a few quarters, sticking them into the coin slot, you pushed in the slot- but not fully, as you reached into the vending slot, able to pull it open just enough to grab the candy bar- and pull back the coin slot, your quarters still in place. You pulled the quarters out, and held up the candy bar in victory as you tilted your head, and beamed victoriously.Â
Logan chuckled warmly. âAinât that stealing bub?â
You mock gasped, âMe? No way.â You say, holding your hand out, you gave him the quarters.Â
âI was supposed to get you the candy bar yknow.â
âYou did.â You say nonchalantly as you opened the wrapper, breaking off a piece to hand to him, before biting into the candy yourself, humming happily at the treat- much needed after the day youâve been having. âThank you-â You add as you chew. He shrugged, eating his piece of candy you shared with him. âSo, anything exciting going on today?â You asked.
âNo, just watched tv.â He says. âStarted reading that book you suggested.â
Your eyes went wide and you smiled big, âReally? What you think?â
âPretty good so far, Iâm only on the first chapter though.â He shrugs. He glanced around, clearly thinking about something. âYou wanna go to Reillys tonight?âÂ
âReillyâs? Sure, Iâm in.â You nodded, taking another bite out of your candy bar. âYou want me to see if Rose and Adam-â
âI always actually thinking just me and you.âÂ
Your heart fluttered.Â
âI mean, I know we do stuff all the time butâŚâ He shrugged. âJustâŚSomething, so we can talk.âÂ
âWeâre talking right nowâŚâ You tease gently, rocking your body back and forth, but the blush on your cheeks told Logan you thoroughly agreed with the idea of going out, just the two of you.Â
âDifferent kind of talking.â He says. âThe kind where you wear something pretty, and I buy you a drink.âÂ
You couldnât hide your giddiness at his words, letting out a small breath as your blush ran deeper, you looked up at him and nodded. âYeah, that sounds niceâŚâ You say tilting your head.Â
He looked relieved for a moment, before returning to his usual demeanor, as he leaned over you, looking down at you like he was going to eat you alive. âSo itâs a da-â
Your pager went off, and you groaned. âSorry.â
âThey canât survive 5 minutes without you, huh?â He grumbles.
âApparently not.â You turned your pager off. âI gotta go, but thanks for the candy bar Lo-â you hold up the empty wrapper, you reached for his hand, wrapping your hand around his, and squeezing it. He squeezed it back. âSo tonight?â
âIâll pick you up at 7. Sound good?â
âGreat.âÂ
You began to let go, but he lifted your hand up, kissing the back of it as you watched him, his eyes making contact with yours, before finally he let go. You bit your lip, trying to hide your fluster, quickly turning away to go back into the hospital, as you felt butterflies go through your body. As you tried to go back to work, you couldnât stop thinking about what you wanted to wear tonight.Â
The day went by slow as hell- mainly because you couldnât stop watching the clock. You got off at 4, giving you nearly 3 hours to get home and get ready to go out.Â
The entire time you wondered if this was the start for you and Logan. After 5 years, becoming such close friends, sharing intimate moments, and shared connections in a similar past- you couldnât imagine being with anyone else. Logan was the person for you. You denied that idea a long time, purely just a person who cared deeply for the people you found closest to you. Now though, you couldnât deny the rapid flutter of your heart. You thought back of all the âclose callâ moments you had with Logan. Moments where you nearly kissed, admitted your feelings- usually moments that got interrupted by something or other. You always took that to mean that maybe it just wasnât your time yet, but you felt a charge with Logan today. The way he came all the way down to see you at work, to ask you out tonight when he couldâve just called you when you got off, because he knew your hours- surely he had been thinking about you as well.
When you got home, you tried your best to keep your cool. You didnât tell Rose initially- but your nerves started to get to you. What if you were overthinking it? What if you dress up to nice and give off the wrong impression? Rose though, could read you- the way you were nervously pacing around the house as you anxiously cleaned real quick before you got ready.Â
âWhat is going on with you?â She asks, following you to your room, as you pulled open your closet and started searching your outfits.Â
âI- Nothing!â You say, but you start blushing, and cover you face. âOkay, I think Logan asked me out tonight, and he said something about wearing something pretty but I donât know I uhâŚâ You bit your lip. âIâm wondering if I took it wrong.â
âOkay, hold up- time out. Logan asked you out?!â Her voice pitched up as she stepped into the room.
âI donât know! He said he wanted me and him to go out to Reillys- just me and him, to âtalkâ, and then when I pointed out we do that all the time and he said the kind of talking where I where something pretty and he buys me a drink.â You explain, all in one breath as anxiety wracked you. You didnât know why you were so nervous, it was Logan, one of your best friends, you didnât need to be nervous over him but you were.
Rose stared at you like you were insane. âOkay, first, breathe.â She says holding her hands up. âSecond of all. Itâs a date.â
You sigh as you took in a breath. âI donât know what to wear itâs- been awhile.â
âOh, I know.â Rose looked you up and down. âCouldâve had some practice while he was still gone but noooo.âÂ
âRose-â You whined.
âAlright calm down- Lets start with whatchu got in that closet of yours.â
You and Rose spent the next hour trying to put together the perfect outfit. She convinced you to wear a black, satin slip dress, something that complimented your figure perfectly- while still remaining neutral enough- seeing as they were all the rage and often seen worn in bars anyway. She helped you with your hair and makeup, complimenting your features while keeping a more natural look. Rose herself was all about the wild makeup- flashy colors, paint as much as you could, but since this was a possible âfirst dateâ, she agreed something more natural and light was appropriate. You picked your colors that complimented your skin tone well, and did your hair in your favorite style. You thought you looked pretty nice- but nerves still crept at you.
You were no strange for looking nice, but you really havenât been on a date in years. It wasnât like you didnât know how flirt- considering you and Logan been flirting for over a year since your reunion. You wondered if this was what it was between you and Logan, would things be different? How is this going to impact your relationship?Â
Rose noticed your sudden lackluster demeanor, her hand going to your back.Â
âHeâs gonna love this.â She smiles warmly at you. âThe man is TOTALLY obsessed with you already. This is gonna send him through the roof! Lookatchu!â she coos.
You giggled, shaking your head. âThank you.â
âIâm just so glad to see my girl finally growing up.â Rose says, with fake emotion in her voice as she pretends to wipe a tear from her eye, it made you laugh more- helping you ease your nerves.Â
You opened your mouth to retort her comment, but the landline started ringing. Wondering if it was Logan, you quickly went to answer it.Â
âHello?â
You heard a man asking for your name.
âThis is she?â You respond, a little confused.
He said your name again. âItâs Frank.â
âFrank?- Frank Jones?â You say in surprise, as the doctor, a man you considered your mentor years ago from Vietnam, came to your picture. âWow, itâs been awhile, how are you?â
âUh..Fine. Listen, you okay?âÂ
âYeahâŚâ You say slowly. âWhy?â
âNothing, nothing. Just checking on you.â He says. âDid you ever end up going to med school?âÂ
âWell, no I just hadnât really-â
âThatâs fine. Listen, be careful, okay?âÂ
âFrank, what are you-?â
âI know you and Logan Howlett are friends.â His voice suddenly toward low, and warning.
You blinked, as you looked at the phone in confusion. Your brows creased, as you felt something weird turn in your stomach.Â
âYouâŚKnow Logan?â
âI canât stay on long. Iâm just calling to check on you. You need to be careful, especially around Howlett. Donât get involved in anything.â
Before you could respond, the line went dead. You stared at the phone as you heard the beeps, turn into a flat line, before you hung up the landline. Rose looked at you in questioning.Â
âThat wasâŚweird.â You muttered.Â
âWho was that?âÂ
âA doctor I worked under in Vietnam.â You look at her. âHe was really cryptic though, and he knew me and Logan were friends, I donât think I ever told him about Logan. He told me I needed to be careful.âÂ
Rose raised a brow, then crossed her arms. âOkay, I was excited, now Iâm scared.â She says. âWhy would this guy conveniently call you when youâre about to go on a date with him?â
You shrugged, chewing on your lip. Since Logan had come back, you knew he was carrying something, a weight on his shoulders. He never told you what though. All you knew was him being apart of a operative CIA team and he left it. Anytime you two talked about Vietnam, or anything regarding it- heâd get this haunted look on his face, like he was going to be sick. So, you never forced him to talk about it. Sometimes it would just come up, it being an impactful part of your life- something you still try to find meaning in today, understand what it did to you and your future. There was a time you never wanted to think about it, but then thereâs times itâs all you wanted to think about. Logan though, seemed to never want to go back to it. Whatever heâs done, whatever heâs seen, it was enough for him to want to forget.Â
You wondered if Frank Jones knew something about it. Was it bad enough that he had to warn you? You never felt unsafe with Logan. He has been nothing but respectful and safe- not just to you, but the people around you. Rose has stated multiple times that just having Logan nearby has made her feel more comfortable as well.Â
âAre you okay?â Rose asked, putting a hand on your shoulder, you looked at her, and nodded.
âYeah, yeah. Iâll..talk to Logan about it later. Or maybe try to find Franks number, call him back or something tomorrow.â You say. She nods.
âMaybe I should go with youâŚâ She says. You saw the worry on her face. Rose was never the type to be fearful or shy away from anything. You smiled.
âItâs fine.â You say. âIâm just going to enjoy the evening, right?âÂ
Rose forced a smile, but you could tell she now seemed hesitant to let you go off alone. Before you could say anything else, you both heard knocking your door.Â
âThatâs probably him-â You say, as you attempt to shrug off the weirdness of that phone call. You went down stairs, immediately stopping at a mirror to check your hair and makeup- Rose following you, before you went to the front door and opened it.Â
You were a bit taken away by how nicely dressed Logan was. So, this is a date
He was wearing a clean white button up dress shirt, tucked into dark blue jeans, and his typical leather jacket over the shirt. His hair was slicked back, and he looked a mixture of nervous- and excited to see you. You noticed one arm behind his back.
Any worries you had originally went to the back of your head as you took in his handsome figure. It was that you never seen Logan dressed nice- but he was dressing nice for you.
Logan seemed to have the same reaction to you, his eyes trailing over your body, and you see his jaw tense up.Â
âYouâŚYou look beautiful.â He says softly. A deep blush came across your cheeks, and you took a deep breath to regain your composure.Â
âThank you,â you say politely. âYou donât look so bad yourself?â You smiled, giving him a knowing look. He chuckled, looking down at himself, almost as if he was embarrassed.
âI got you these.â He says, dropping his arm from behind him, and pulling out a bouquet of flowers. âIâŚThought youâd like em.âÂ
They were Peonies- your favorite flower. You remembered months ago walking past the local flower shop with him, and you had gushed over how beautiful they were. Honestly, they made you think of him- the way they start as all closed, before slowly opening up as they become exposed to warmth, the sun, and water. It's what you think of Logan, the way he was always closed up in himself, only to finally begin to open up, as you watched him blossom from the quiet and reserved soldier, to a man finally accepting a life full of joy and possiblyâŚlove.
You were surprised, he remembered, and even went out of his way to bring you a bouquet.Â
âLo- theyâre-â You laughed softly taking them. âTheyâre beautiful! Thank you!â He nodded in acknowledgement, you turned back to the house, âLet me put them in some water and we can go-â
âHere girly, I got them, you go on.â Rose came to the rescue, grabbing the bouquet. âHi Logan.â
âHey Rose,â Logan nodded politely to her, sticking his hands in his pockets casually. âHow are you?â
âFine.â She smiles. âGo on you two, go on your date.â She urges. Still blushing- a warm heat spread across your face, you turned back to Logan. âI wonât wait up!-â You heard Rose call out as you shut the door behind you. He smirked, taking his hand out of his pocket, and reaching for yours.
âReady?â
When you arrived at the bar, you both agreed for opting to the small table towards the back, allowing you a little privacy in your conversations in the bar, which was packed as usual on a Saturday night. Logan was a complete gentleman, pulling your chair out for you and pushing it in as you sat.Â
âWhat would you like to drink?â He asks,Â
You gave him your order, and he left to go up to the counter to get them. You sat at your table and waited, you took in the atmosphere, adjusting your dress a few times and playing with your hair. Your eyes turned to the counter, where you saw Logan standing, palms pressed to the counter- clearly waiting for your drinks, but something you noticed.
His head was turned, talking to someone. A lady who looked to be around your age, with dark hair that went past her shoulders. She was absolutely beautiful, and she was looking at Logan in a way that twisted your stomach.Â
It was no secret that Logan turned heads, and before it never really go to you- perhaps because you knew you were just friends at the time, that you didnât have a right to be jealous (although it had struck your mind). Logan had never entertained anyone though, and no one has ever approached Logan while you guys were out together- although you definitely seen the stares. You honestly had never considered other women flirting with him- or him flirting with other women, because you yourself had not flirted with anyone- except him.
Maybe this time it was because you two were actually moving forward. Although you couldnât say that with certainty. You just did not like the eyes she was making towards Logan. You couldnât see his face, and his body language was fairly neutral, but you felt a small irritation in the fact that he was even talking to her.Â
Get a grip, itâs a bar, people talk.
You saw her laugh, flipping her hair a bit, and her hand went to his forearm
Oh for gods sake.Â
The bartender brought the drinks, and he grabbed them, a polite nod to her before turning back to you. You felt a small relief that he wasnât sticking around to talk to her- whoever she was.Â
âHere you go.â He handed you your drink, then moved to sit next to you. You smiled up at him, before turning to sip on the straw, before glancing at him again.
âWho was that girl you were talking to?â
Real smooth.
âHm?â He looked up at you as he took a drink from his whiskey, he leaned back in his chair. âOh, I donât know. Some new person in town.âÂ
You forced a smile and nodded, and Logan seemed to sense your slight tension- a noticeable change when just a few moments ago you were happy and joking around. He leaned forward towards the table again, and he grabbed your hand, holding it on the table as he looked at you.
âSo, how was the rest of your day?âÂ
You relaxed at his warm tone, the way he started a new conversation. You answered his question, and you both fell into a deep conversation- the way you normally do. Not just about your days, but you would turn towards anything. Recently, it was the politics happening in the States, where mutants were being treated as if they were some sort of criminals. Some folks in government were trying to bring back the bill over mutant regulation, the same bill that had been shot down over a year ago. It bothered you- and worried you greatly that mutants were still getting flack in a time of great social change. Canada hadnât seemed to address any issue of mutants, possibly because thereâs no actual âproblemâ to address, and maybe it made you a little more thankful that you moved to this country. Something in you though, your heart tugged at the thought of those people getting mistreated.Â
Logan though, always knew the right thing to say- to put your mind at ease.Â
During the night, Logan complimented you, not just your physical looks, but the type of person you were. He always had a hand on you, usually holding your hand, but sometimes heâd reach out- a soft smile on his face as heâd cup your cheek. His thumb rubbing softly against your skin, making your eyes want to flutter shut.Â
There was a new energy charging between you, as you both began to feel open to something newer between you, something more romantic.Â
You never noticed the dark haired woman again, even as she sat at the bar counter- staring and watching you both continue on your night.
After, you and Logan strolled through the town, admiring the night life and people watching. Logan, normally keeping an arm around your shoulder, had one around your waist, keeping you close to him. You laughed, and you flirted, you teased each other. You felt warmth in you, the way he kept you so close- almost protectively.Â
It was getting late, and you both knew that it was getting close to the end of the night, but there was something burning in you. The phone call from earlier had creeped its way back into your head. You didnât want to ruin the mood, especially since Logan had dropped his arm from your waist, to grab your hand. You needed to ask though, because you knew if you didnât and you never found out what it was about itâll probably come back and haunt you later.
âHey, Lo?âÂ
âHm?âÂ
You stopped, and he stopped with you. You were standing on an empty street, one of the smaller neighborhoods of the town, not too far from yours. It was quiet, peaceful, one of the times you could really appreciate moving to this small town- all because of him. You purse your lips together, unsure how to tell him what happened.Â
âSomething wrong bub?â He asked, looking at your concerned face. He brought a hand to your chin, examining you as if he was trying to read your mind.Â
âSomething weird happened, before you came to pick me up.â You begin. âI got a phone call from an old colleague, someone who was in Vietnam. Doctor Frank Jones. Do you know him?â
Logans brows creased, and shook his head. âNot familiar with any doctors. Just you.â He smiled. You nodded, eyes darting away from him, feeling regretful now that you even brought it up.Â
âWell he knew you.â You say. âOrâŚI donât know maybe he doesnâtâŚâÂ
His smile dropped and he stepped closer, dropping his hand from your chin. âWhat did he say?âÂ
âHe said he knew that we were hanging out, together I guess. HeâŚTold me to be careful. Around you. Then he hung up.âÂ
Logan frowned, his brows creasing together. You saw his jaw tense up, as he looked up from you, looking around the empty neighborhood.Â
âDo you know why he would say that?â You asked softly. Logan looked back at you.
For a moment, he looked angry his lips pulled tight as his eyes narrowed- but then his expression softened, and he looked just plain upset. âIâŚ.â He swallowed. âIâm not fully sure. I suppose I can guess though.âÂ
âYou can..guess?â You asked.Â
âLookâŚIâŚIf he was in Vietnam then maybe he knew about me. About the team I was apart of.â He says. âI didnât want to tell you this. IâŚI didnât want you to look at me differently. To be scared of me.âÂ
âLo.â You put a hand on his chest. âI could never be scared of you. You being secretive from me thoughâŚThat scares me.âÂ
He brought his hand to yours, squeezing it gently, before pulling it away. âAfter you left, me and Victor got into some trouble. He went after some girl in one of those villages. He got stopped by the commanding officer- not the one you knew, we had a new guy come in. Victor killed him.â
You gasped. âWhat- are you serious?âÂ
âIt gets worse.â He says. Guilt flashed across his face. âIâŚTried to defend him. He was my brother, the only family I got. Weâd been serving together for years and I just- thought itâs what I needed to do but⌠They sentenced us with a death squad. Well, you can guess what happened.âÂ
You stared at Logan with wide eyes, unbelieving of what he was telling you. He never said anything once, about any of this happening in the letters you communicated back and forth and thatâŚhurt you more than anything. You knew Victor was a bit of a wild card, the man hit on you more times than you care to remember- Logan usually coming to your rescue for that. For him to do something to hurt someone innocent- and then to kill a commanding officer? You didnât know what to think, as you looked back up at Logan.Â
He was clearly struggling as he talked about this. Now you knew why he never wanted to talk about it, why he went silent- with the look in his eyes like he was seeing ghosts. It wasnât just Vietnam that happened, but that. He opened his mouth, taking in a breath as he spoke his next sentence.
âObviously it means that they figured out we were mutants, and couldnât die.â He continues. âWe got approached by this man, some kind scientist in the military. He was working on this project- and figured that me and Victor were perfect. He saw our strength, our- mutation. Thought it would be helpful.â
âThe operative team you were on.â You say. He nodded.Â
âTeam X. At first it was just stuff around Vietnam, then we branched out to other countries. Just classified missions, breaking into communist parties, getting intel- sometimes weâd take out a few bad guys but then it just got worse and worse andâŚThe team was becoming brutal. The things they were doing. I couldnât do it.â Â
You reached for his hand, and he looked down at where you were holding him. Then he looked back up at you.
âI thought maybe I was doing something good.â He says quietly. âHelping the country, ending wars. I hadnât known anything other than violence until you showed up. You made me want to be better andâŚI just became worse.âÂ
âLo-â You stepped closer. âNo- No, itâsâŚ.â You searched for your words. âYouâre not a bad man Lo. You justâŚGot dealt bad cards. You left, you knew these things were wrong. Thatâs important. You keep going everyday trying to be better and do better- I know you do, I see it.âÂ
âThat doctor, whoever called you. I didnât know him. He was right though. You should be careful.â He says gently. âI wondered if I should have even come back when I left the team. I knew you were here, that you had been waiting for me and I didnât want to disappoint you.âÂ
âIâm not scared of you Lo.â You say softly. âI know you would never hurt me.âÂ
âI came back for you.â He says softly. You looked into his eyes, and he looked away, shame on his face- as you brought your hand up to cup his cheek. You leaned forward, softly pressing your lips against his. You gave him room to pull away, but he returned the kiss back.Â
Despite everything he just told you, you couldnât bring yourself to be angry- not at him for not telling you anything, and not for the things he told you he committed. You knew it was something he had been clearly carrying around, a deep guilt he held inside himself- guilt being an emotion that you knew yourself all too well, a feeling that any soldier feels when they come home and you werenât even a soldier. Guilt may have been his cross to bear, even if his intentions were good, honorable even- and it led to bad things. You knew that it was going to take time, for him to work through this and while you couldnât heal him or fix him, you could support him- hold his hand and push him to keep going. It was just yet another casualty of war, a man, led to believe he was doing the right thing- only to realize it was all the wrong thing after all.Â
You had spent years wondering about your own actions, you wanted to help people, thatâs why you signed up. Though you wondered; did you just become another number, another reason for the fighting to keep going? Did your participation support the violence when all you wanted to do was stop it?
There was only thing you knew. It was all in the past.Â
The war had been over for 2 years.Â
It was time to move on. You didnât know how you deal with the moral dilemma of knowing the things you done, how do you make up for it?Â
You did know that you were glad that you and Logan both made it. Standing there tonight. Perhaps it wasnât the most romantic conversation- but as Logan pressed his lips to yours, eager and almost demanding, his hands grabbing your hips and pushing you against him- you could feel it. The relief he felt as if he just admitted his sins to his god. You knew Logan Howlett was a good man, that all he wanted to be was a good man.Â
Maybe thatâs all that was important in the end.Â
You parted from you kiss, lost for words- and your breath, and he leaned his forehead against yours.Â
âIâm sorry.â He says, his grip on your hips tight, as if he was afraid to let go.
âYou should be.â You say. âThat kiss was overdue.â He let out a small laugh, knowing that itâs not what he meant- but he could be sorry for that too. You brought your hands up to cup his face, your fingers softly scratching at his beard, making his eyes flutter shut. âWeâll work through this. Okay?â You say softly. âYou donât have to bear this alone anymore.âÂ
âI donât deserve you.â He mutters softly. Â
âOn the contrary, I been waiting for this for awhile. You owe me.âÂ
He smirked. âThat so?â
âMhm.âÂ
âIâll make it up to you.â He says softly, pulling you closer against him. You wanted to kiss him again, but you could tell what he really needed, was a hug. You wrapped your arms around his shoulders, leaning into him- hugging him tightly, and he responded with the same, burying his face into your neck.Â
Youâll be alright.

It's 1:30am where I am and I can't stop thinking about if old comic Magneto met FC!Charles he'd probably be like 'oh wow you are a BABY, WHAT, I'm putting you in my pocket and maybe try and radicalize you idk' but if Comic Charles saw FC!Erik he'd just think 'Yep. That's my favourite bastard but younger,'
the everlasting cycle of 'i can make him better/i can make him worst' will transcend time and space with these two TRUST
#snap chats#highkey older!erik and young!charles just got me thinkin of that one tfp episode#to all like. five transformers fans that follow me do you know what im talkin bout#that fuckin episode where optimus reverts to orion and megatron's like Oh Fuck. Opportunity >:)#same shit i imagine ... except im sure charles would have a bit more push back ngl#he's young but he's headstrong. but he's also Charles so.#how disrespectful yall think younger erik would be with an older charles#cause a part of why charles and erik connect IMO is how close they were in age and the fact their dreams were similar#it gon be a lil different when you have an older man telling you things that go against your beliefs yk#hm.... much to think of...
