Sinful mouth â Draco Malfoy (smut)
A small drabble for my Draco lovies. Please like and reblog if you enjoyed reading this, your comments keep us writers motivated! Enjoy my loves. xxx
Summary: pwp, reader lost a bet and has to pay the price
Warnings: 18+, smut, oral (m), slight dubcon (but full consent), dom!Draco, degrading, choking
Pairing: Draco Malfoy x fem!reader (1k words)
âKneel.â His voice filled her bedroom, bright eyes starting her down as his smirk began to widen.Â
âFuck you, Malfoy!â She knew she had no way out, forced to follow his command - all because of some stupid bet she has lost. âWhy canât you be normal and ask me to do some other shit for you?â
âThereâs that fire you always show me. Good, I was wondering how long itâd take for you to snap. Now itâll make it even more fun to break you.â She watched him lean back against her dresser, arms crossed in front of his shirt-clad chest. (Y/n) hated the way her body reacted to Draco, how her thighs clenched whenever she heard his voice. âI wonât say it again, (y/n). Kneel.â
âAnd now?â She had dropped to her knees in an instant, staring up at him as she tried not to pay the way her carpet was already rubbing against her skin any attention. âI donât have a lot of time, so if you can get this over with.â
He was in front of her within seconds, hand clamped around her throat to draw a shaky and surprised gasp from (y/n). Wide eyes met piercing ones, hers full of confusion, his filled with darkness. A darkness so rich, (y/n) feared it'd swallow her wholly and steal her light.Â
âItâs your own fucking fault for being this stupid, you had to try and go against me, and you failed. Now be a good girl and pay the fucking price, sweetheart.â Dracoâs smile began to widen as he watched her pupils dilate, a sight that left his cock twitching, growing harder in the confines of his trousers. Tonight heâd force his cock down her throat, just like she had always hoped he would, secrets shared with close friends, secrets that had found their way to him years ago. âKeep up this bratty act and see what will happen. We both know youâve wanted this for years, be happy Iâm granting you this wish.âÂ
âWhat are you talking about?â She could only whisper the words, not daring to use more strength as Draco tightened the grip on her throat. His eyes burned through her, leaving holes in her trembling body, holes that were filled with lust the second a raspy chuckle left him.Â
âYou didnât think you could hide that crush of yours from me, could you? Iâve always known this little act of yours was nothing but lies, trying to distract me from your obsession with me. Well, tonightâs your lucky night, baby.â Embarrassment tugged on her features, shooting heat through her body as she tried to avert her gaze â without any luck. Dracoâs ringed fingers kept holding her in place, staring down at (y/n) with a satisfied grin glued to his lips.Â
âNow, be a good girl and open that mouth for me.â He let go of her to rise back to his feet. Draco would never do this if he werenât sure of her longings, heâd never pressure her into doing something this intimate if sheâd ask him to stop â which she didnât. All (y/n) did was run her tongue along her lower lip before she parted her lips, tongue exposed to his piercing eyes.Â
Her eyes followed the movements of his fingers, how they freed his cock within seconds. Draco had done this numerous times, reach for his cock to fuck his hand to the thought of (y/n), speaking to her as if she was kneeling in front of him, ready to swallow his cock â just like she was now. He stepped back towards her, pushing the pre-cum-bearded tip past her lips, unable to swallow his groan at the warm feeling.Â
Eagerly she closed her lips around him, she hallowed her cheeks and began to bob her head, wanting to draw the most sinful sounds out of the tall man. Draco held onto (y/n) with his ringed fingers combing through her hair, keeping an almost possessive grasp on her. She worked carefully, pumping the parts she couldnât reach just yet, having to force herself to calm down. It took her a few seconds to relax her throat, to take him deeper without panicking, but his sounds were worth the struggle, telling her how much he loved being touched by her.
She tried to focus on Draco, on the taste of him, on the feeling of him resting on her tongue, but her mind kept bringing up his words, reminding her that he was all too aware of her crush on him, a crush she had been fostering for years, ever since meeting him at Hogwarts. But even though she couldnât help but be embarrassed, (y/n) also began to realize that he must share her feelings, otherwise he wouldnât have pushed her to do this.
âIâll never allow you to stop doing that, your mouthâs a sin in itself.â Dracoâs raspy words left her chuckling, urging her on to move even faster, set on pushing him over the edge. His hips jerked, forcing his cock deeper down her throat to leave (y/n) choking on her gasps. âSuch a desperate slut, youâd rather choke than stop sucking my cock, wouldnât you?â
The hum leaving (y/n) drew a gritty laugh out of Draco, his head rolled back, exposing his throat to (y/n)âs wandering gaze. She could tell that he was close, twitching in her mouth as he tried to hold back, tried to stop himself from cumming right there and then. Her grip on his cock grew tighter, adding more speed to her movements as he once again forced himself down her throat.Â
âI want you to swallow every drop, show me how greedy you are for me.â Their eyes met as he spoke the words, seconds before he came down her throat. (Y/n) watched him cum undone, feeling him paint her mouth white with his cum. She swallowed, only pulled away as he loosened his grip on her hair, waiting for (y/n) to expose her now clean tongue to his eyes.Â
âThe next time you lose a bet, Iâll fuck you, that much I can promise, sweetheart.â

OC Intro: Ronan "Rage" Airvix
I've been a little too excited to do this one. Rage is one of my favorite characters from EoWC so I hope you guys enjoy!!
Once again, because of my lack of drawing skills, I have used picrew for Rage's pictures. If you're curious, I used this one and this one.
Yes, you guys get two picrews this time. The second one is a lot closer to how he actually looks, but I also wanted a front facing one. It was surprisingly difficult to find picrews with beards and man buns.
Name: Ronan "Rage" Airvix
Mors Title: Field Handler and Certified Healer
Age: forty-six
Birthdate: (still working out the Realms calendars) July 17th
Pronouns: He/Him
Species: Namuh, Mirralian
Physical Description
Light tanned skin. His face is blemish free except for some slight wrinkles around his eyes. He has dark gray eyes and matching gray and white hair* that is long enough for him to pull back into a bun, which is how he usually wears his hair. He has a few various scars from his military days. He's a little tall for a Mirralian, coming in at 7'0 (213 cm). He works out regularly and has a decent amount of defined muscles. He's also very healthy when it comes to food. Being a Healer tends to do that.
*side note: the gray/white hair is not due to aging. Most namuh species have 'unnatural' hair and eye colors. This color âdullsâ with aging rather than losing color.
Skills/Abilities
Elemental, specifically healing, certified healer, Negotiatorâ˘, multiple languages, survival skills
Greatest Fear
Failing
Personality Type
ENFJ-A
Love Language
Physical touch
Typical Outfit
Mors certified suit, healer's uniform, or work out clothes
Method of Manipulation
Blackmailing and gaslighting
Born to the predominant Airvix family, Rage has spent most of his life exposed the Mirralian government and military. All of his family members hold high standing titles and the Airvix name is well known through the Realm. After graduation basic school, he went into healing, becoming a certified healer and joining the Mirralian military. After outstanding services, Rage was invited to join the Mors, which he accepted. He continues to be one of their top healers, so much so that he is assigned as a personal field handler and healer to a specialist. Asset 703.
Relationships
Gerd
Rage never dealt much with Gerd until getting assigned as 703âs handler and healer. Since Gerd is her main handler, Rage often has to defer to what he says, even if it puts 703 in more danger. The two butt heads constantly, almost always over 703. Each would be happy to see the other end up dead.
Healer Asurr
Rage and Asurr went to healing school together where they were roommates (no, not that kind of roommates. Asurr has no interest in that). The two were close friends until they drifted apart after graduation. Now with Asurr heading Project Viall for the Mors, they see each other more frequently, but their relationship is much different. Rage doesnât fully agree with the Project, but tries his best to remain friendly and to avoid Project Viall as much as possible.
703
Assigned as her handler and healer, Rage was mostly curious about why she would get a personal healer. As he got to know her, that curiosity quickly turned to protectiveness and slight awe at how she operated. The best way to describe it: âIâve only had 703 for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.â
If anyone wants to be added/subtracted to the tag list, you can comment or DM me :D

Feanix Reads Dragon Age Comics
#1: The Silent Grove
I'll be posting my thoughts on each series as a whole, rather then individual issues. Below the cut are all the thoughts I had while reading The Silent Grove.
WARNING: It does get a bit Alistair critical, as I feel like this series really brought out the worst in his character, which in turn brought out the worst in me.
Anyway, here they are, my thoughts:
The Silent Grove (I)
So, first thing's first, it's strange seeing young Varric here. It's a bit surprising how quickly I've gotten used to silver fox Varric in The Veilguard promotional materials, with the longer hair and a bit of beard growth. Younger, cleanshaven Varric just looks weird to me now. The art style also doesn't help. I'm pretty sure the art style was one of the things that turned me off the first time I tried to read them when they first came out.
I'll admit, as far as protagonists go, King Alistair wasn't a huge draw for me, and even when the comics were first releasing, I don't think I actually read them until after the final issue of Until We Sleep had been released. I was always more of a Morrigan boy, and even in the first game, there were times when Alistair grated on me. We'll return to that point later.
Now, Isabela on the other hand? Yeah, she's the reason I even started reading these comics. I do love my captain.
I'd forgotten that Zevran is mentioned by name in this story. Apparently he was meant to be in the comic in Varric's place, but was "cut due to concerns about party dynamics", which to me sounds like a skill issue. Zevran has a pre-existing relationship with both Alistair and Isabela, and it's well-established that Varric doesn't like going out (to the point that the entire party will roast him for it in Trespasser no matter who you have with you).
This is baseless speculation on my part, but I feel like they went with Varric because Varric is probably more popular than Zevran.
The Silent Grove (II)
Okay, I'd like to lodge a complaint: Isabela deserved a new outfit. Varric and Alistair both got spiffy new outfits. Isabella doesn't even get pants. And it's meant to be freezing cold. We open with a guard complaining about how cold it is (cold enough that we can see his breath). Then we cut to Isabela climbing out of the sea. Does she not feel the cold?
She obviously feels the cold; later in this very same issue we see Alistair putting his cloak on her. Why didn't Isabela get an outfit upgrade again? (Don't answer that, we all know why.)
I feel like Varric literally questioning what he's doing there proves my point; maybe it's fitting with his luck that he gets dragged into this sort of thing, but his role just as easily could have been filled by Zevran. Of course, that being said, I do enjoy it when he narrates his circumstances out loud. It's a fun character quirk.
I appreciate that we see a Vashoth (or possibly even Tal Vashoth) as a member of the Crows; it emphasises that the Crows really do take anyone into their number. A pity that all the others basically look like human men. Not elf or dwarf in sight, and no women.
I wonder if the intention was for the reader to believe the prisoner was Maric. He says it's too late, and Alistair's narration says that his quest has failed, but I'm trying to imagine reading this for the first time without having spoiled everything for myself. I feel like I would assume that the man Alistair finds is Maric.
The Silent Grove (III)
First shot of Yavana, flashback, from behind. No pants. Pretty sure she is only the second named female character in this series so far, and neither of them have been drawn with pants. I can literally see Yavana's butt cheeks. Ugh.
Lack of pants aside, she does have a really cool design, though.
This part felt like a lot of exposition, some pretty scenery, and Alistair saying that high dragons are worse than darkspawn. Really, Alistair? You fought during the Blight, and you think that high dragons are worse than darkspawn?
"In my life so far, I've taken the sword to three dragons. The big ones, I mean â not the ones that look like scaly, tooth dogs and love horse meat, but the high dragons that make the earth shake. Not even darkspawn are that savage. A dragon feed on anything. A dragon exists only to kill."
This reminds me way too much of Iron Bull's speech about dragons.
"Dragons are the embodiment of raw power. But it's all uncontrolled, savage⌠So they need to be destroyed."
Ugh. At least right after Alistair gives that speech in his narration, the dragon literally chooses not to kill him. He never gives any indication that he learns from his interactions with the dragon, though â at least, not that I remember. Maybe the next two issues will prove me wrong.
Anyway, we will come back to this later as well.
The Silent Grove (IV)
I love Yavana. No surprise, right? She's Morrigan's sister, and she's written almost like a mix of Morrigan and Flemeth. I do wish we could have gotten to know her more.
"In destroying what it does not understand, mankind would destroy itself."
But gosh, I really dislike the way Alistair is written⌠well, I was going to say here, but the truth is everything about his interactions with the dragon and Yavana makes him come across as narrow-minded and really unlikeable to me.
"Meaning you don't understand either, but it's what your mother told you."
Yeah, we'll come back to that later.
Claudio is⌠eh. He's a bit player. His connection to Isabela's past makes for some interesting plot developments, and he's obviously tied to the larger story involving Maric â though, as above, I'm not sure if I would have made that assumption if I hadn't been already spoiled the first time I read this. I probably would have assumed he was just planning on ransoming Alistair back to Ferelden or something. Or, heck, putting him in that prison like Maric was.
I appreciate Isabela deciding on the spot that she's not going to abandon Alistair. She's grown a lot from the women she was at the start of Dragon Age II.
The Silent Grove (V)
Isabela marching back into the Silent Grove and yelling Yavana's name is very funny to me.
I'd completely forgotten about Isabela and Varric making a deal with Yavana. That makes me even more annoyed about the ending of this arc. But we'll come back to that later.
"You wanted me alive. Now you have to try to keep me."
Okay, I'll admit, that's a good line. Some of that charming, funny Alistair shining through. A shame there's so little of him in these comics.
I do wish slut shaming Isabela wasn't something that the writer felt the need to carry over from the game. Even with Claudio being a bad guy, it comes across as really distasteful considering they've designed her character to show as much skin as possible.
Badass final page with Yavana standing over Claudio's body and talking about how getting the truth even with him being dead.
The Silent Grove (VI)
"You almost missed the fun. Evidently we're going to ask Claudio how it feels to be stabbed in the chest."
Oh Isabela, how I love thee.
Yavana's idea of a sĂŠance involves a lot more pyrotechnics than one might expect, but it is quite exciting. I am curious if she burned his corpse, or if it was some magic of Titus's to try to keep his name out of Claudio's mouth?
Yavana's explanation of the Hall of Sleepers, and what Maric's deal was, really convinces me that Alistair was wrong and that she does understand what she's talking about. In the same way that Morrigan prioritised sparing Urthemiel's soul from death even after Flemeth is killed. I don't think either one of them (certainly not Morrigan) does what they do simply because their mother told them to.
Which brings us to possibly my least favourite part of this entire eighteen issue series.
Fuck you, Chantry Boy.
It's later, so here we are. I hate this moment. It makes me hate Alistair, for doing exactly what Yavana says mankind has always done and killing what he doesn't understand. And yes, he says he does it because he blames her for everything that happened in Ferelden after Maric left, but here's the thing: Yavana didn't make the fucking deal with Maric! Flemeth did!
And the thing is, two issues ago he accused her of simply parroting what Flemeth told her. He accused her of not understanding what she was doing. Which is it, Alistair? Is she another pawn of Flemeth's, or is she the wicked witch who took your daddy away?
Except she didn't take him away, Maric made that choice on his own. He made a deal so that he would be able to save his country, and then he held up his end of the bargain by travelling to Yavana.
Uggghhh!
Issues ends with Alistair bemoaning his own status as a pawn and saying he's going to kill Titus.
And then his final narrative just feels so shoehorned because it's close to the kind of humour we're used to getting from Alistair in the game, but this isn't that Alistair.
"My name is Alistair Theirin, and I'm king of Ferelden. Long live the king, long may he reign! And so forth. Pray to the Maker he doesn't do something stupidâŚ"
You just did! Seriously, fuck you, Chantry Boy.
Final Thoughts
Oof. It had some okay moments, but to be honest, the best part of this comic for me was Yavana and, well⌠Yeah.
The thing is, I don't feel like I'm familiar enough with Alistair's character to say whether or not he's acting out of character. Is all of this something that a hardened King Alistair would do? Or is it the writing emphasising all the worst parts of him without balancing it with what made Alistair so popular?
Anyway, not a great start to the re-read. I really hope I have more fun with Those Who Speak and Until We Sleep, but I'm done for the night.

(Under cut because I end up going into detail about where my memory failed me)
From memory:
Laios is probably going to be the most on-model, unless there's some detail on his armor I'm forgetting. Unsure about the shape of his eyes and the collar of his breastplate.
Something doesn't look right about Senshi, but I'm not sure what. He's the only one for whom I have no clue what he's wearing from the neck down, so I took a wild guess. It feels wrong to have the hole in his helmet showing skin instead of hair. He also looks a little thinner than he should... I think that's an error in my drawing ability, though, not my memory.
I distinctly remember the collar of Marcille's hood being pretty low on her neck. Why this of all things stuck out, I have no clue. I'm pretty confident on the colors of everything, but if I've got a coloring mistake, it'd be on her. I know she has braids, but I don't think they're visible from the front.
If I'm making a mistake on Chilchuck, it's his sleeves.
I'm fairly certain I got everyone's hair and skin colors roughly accurate. Chilchuck's hair and Senshi's skin might be a shade too light, though.
From reference:
(Note: While I included references in the posted art, they were mostly only used for checking colors againstâthe lineart for Laios, Senshi, and Chilchuck was referenced from the TVTropes character page, and Marcille was referenced directly from the episode, since she wears her hair in a variety of styles throughout the show and this was the one I was aiming for in the original drawing.)
Laios looks a little young in this one. I blame my art styleâI don't draw a lot of humans and I'm not used to making characters look older.
Most of the colors were notably oversaturated. That's partially stylistic, but mostly because I list towards saturation when I can't reference a color. The exception is Senshi's beard, skin, and helmet horns, which were undersaturated.
I was right on the money about Chilchuck's hair and Senshi's skin both being a shade too light. In addition, Chilchuck's and Marcille's skin tones were both too orange when drawn from memory. A lot of colors had to be made redder, actually.
Laios's shoulder armor. Of course that would trip me up. And I was right about having an iffy memory of his neck guard and eye shape, too.
Senshi-from-memory is way too skinny, even to the point where I can't say it's a fault of my usual art style. He looks starved. And dehydrated. He looks as though he's been locked up for a week without food. This isn't Senshi, it's his evil twin Ishnes of Adnagzi, who advocates for toxic diet culture and is trying to survive off nothing but air. This is what Senshi would look like if paleontologists tried to reconstruct him from his skeleton aloneâno, I think the paleontological reconstruction would still have broader shoulders. This isn't just not Senshi, it probably isn't even a dwarf.
His helmet is also completely the wrong shape in the first drawing. And his horns are on backwards. And his nose is even bigger than I remembered.
And apparently the reason I couldn't remember what he was wearing on his torso is that whatever it is is sleeveless and completely covered by his beard.
I got Marcille's hair wrong. Obviously. Be surprised if many people could draw that hairstyle from memory.
It's also longer than I thought. And her cloak is shorter than I thought. And her eyes are rounder. And I completely forgot about her choker.
...And apparently her eye color.
Aside from color, Chilchuck was actually pretty good. Shame I forgot what color shirt he was wearing, though.
Compared to the shapeshifters in the last episode... Ishnes of Adnagzi wouldn't last half a minute (he's even worse quality than the fake Laioses), and Marcille is pretty obviously not going to pass muster. Laios and Chilchuck would end up getting called out for the minor-yet-obvious details.
Chilchuck would probably have managed to go completely unnoticed if he were wearing the right color of shirt.
Conclusion: I'm Laios
Dungeon Meshi artists hear me out:
Draw each of the main four from memory (bust/portrait is fine) and then draw again with a reference. After, compare to the mimics of each one from the new episode.
#for my first time drawing any of these guys I think it went pretty well regardless#still though... poor Senshi#delicious in dungeon#dungeon meshi#laios touden#marcille donato#chilchuk tims#senshi of izganda#strix draws things

HELP. [SHERIFF HASSAN/READER]
Summary: Sheriff Hassan has his quirks  -  but heâs a benefactor through and through. Warnings: N/A. Prompt: âCan you please just give me a hand?â A/N: Apologies for being slow - lifeâs been hectic for me lately, but hereâs a short fluff-fest to make up for it. I hope youâve all been well.
Like my work and want to support it? Tip me! Have a tailored fic request youâd like to make? Buy it!
       âHassan.â
     A smile slowly stretches across the sheriffâs face, though he makes no effort to reply. Instead, he remains laser-focused on the radio, listening to the peppy weatherman drone on about cloud gatherings and potential rain in the evening.
       Life has been a hell of a lot simpler since you settled down in Crockett with him. He used to face the days with a certain amount of resentment, trudging through his life as a second-rate civil servant with bitterness poised on the tip of his tongue. Ever since your untimelyâ but not unwelcomeâ arrival, heâs felt a lot more normal, like he gives a shit again.
       âHassan.â  Â
       Youâre standing in front of him now, hands on your hips, his shirt draped over you like a blanket, and the glow of morning casts a heavenly halo around your frame. Youâre about the only thing holy in this horrible town. To this day, Hassan still doesnât know how he wound up with you on his arm.
       His big brown eyes flit up to yours innocently.  âYeah?â
     Your lips draw into a tighter scowl, eyes narrowing all the more, and he feels the urge to laugh (even though he knows youâll grow irritated with him). It rumbles like thunder in his chest instead, his mouth puckering as he swallows it down like medicine.
       âDonât âyeahâ me,â  you chastise, one eyebrow arching upwards as your boyfriend tries - and fails - to hold back a wide smirk.  âYou put the chocolate spread on the top shelf again, didnât you?â
       This time, Hassan lets himself laugh. Itâs a brief and sober sound, but its warmth is devastating. You hadnât been mad to begin with, but now you feel the complete opposite. Your cheeks heat up, your lips curving upwards begrudgingly as he gets up from his spot on the couch.
       âI did,â  he admits, coming to lean against the counter, his arms folding coolly over his chest.
       âYou know I canât reach,â  you whine.  âWhy? Why would you do that?â
     Hassanâs lips quirk upwards, a charming blend of sincere and devious. Itâs no secret that heâs ridiculously tall - and now that youâre up close and personal with him, itâs also no secret that heâs the most gentle man youâve ever crossed paths with. Despite his quiet, private exterior, his aura is warm, and he has a penchant for jokes.
       âTruthfully? I like it when you ask me for things.â  He hesitates before finishing. He doesnât fear your response, but he hates to think that heâs burdening you. This island has done a good job of belittling him; deep down, he knows that he isnât in the wrong, but he still feels small. Trivial.  â... makes me feel useful.â
       The answer takes you a little bit by surprise. A mindless tease, you anticipated; a silly little joke, you expected. But a declaration like that ticks off none of the boxes your mind had so generously laid out for you. You open your mouth, then close it again. You hate what this place has done to him. The people of Crockett donât even realise how rotten they are. Â
    Wordlessly, you make your way over to him, standing in front of him with a disapproving look on your face.
       âYou donât need to be useful,â  you say, reaching up to stroke his cheek. His beard is scratchy beneath your fingers.  âYou are. But you donât need to be.â
       He nods, though the understanding doesnât reach his eyes. Though you want it to, you know that thereâs too much going on in his head for it to just fade away like nothing. Youâll defeat those malicious brainwaves together, in time, but you canât do it all at once. Instead of dwelling on it, he reaches up for the jar, regarding your puppy-eyes with one raised eyebrow.
    You sigh, capitulating.  âWill you please just give me a hand?â
       This time, he gives way, handing you the jar with a chuckle and a kiss to your forehead.
       Sheriff Hassan has his quirks - but heâs a benefactor through and through.

Paint-stained overalls.
Pairing: Steve Rogers x Painter!reader
Summary: After months pining after his oil painting teacher, Steve does something about it.
Word count: 3266
Warnings: NSFW. 18+, MINORS DNI. SMUT, unprotected sex, r has a vagina and breasts but their gender isn't specified, fingering, nipple play, penetration, scratching, pet names (Honey), a hint of praise kink? Maybe?, Steve being a both a bit filthy and cute, Steve's infinity war look (bc that deserves a warning).
A/N: Steve shaving his beard in Endgame was a crime against humanity so I've decided he keeps the beard! This is my first time writing a non-platonic Steve fic so I hope it doesn't suck <3 If you like it, please consider reblogging and/or leaving a comment. It means a lot to me!
Masterlist
You were behind the counter when he stepped foot on the art studio Natasha kindly helped him find. His therapist suggested him to find a hobby, to put his mind at ease at least for a few hours. He already knew how to draw but, before the war he never had the opportunity to dip his toes into painting, being both colorblind and poor. So painting it was.
Your voice sounded soft and kind over the phone when he booked the first class. But he couldn't help being nervous. He felt he had failed the world and nowadays he wasn't expecting kindness when he went somewhere. It wouldn't be the first time someone on the street or in a store had let him know how useless he and the Avengers were, amongst other not so kind words.
You looked up from your computer with a smile on your face when the bell rang announcing his arrival and your smile didn't falter after recognition washed over your face.
It had taken you a moment to realize that gorgeous massive man, with his long-ish hair combed back and a full beard was Captain America. Apparently, he was looking better than ever these days.
"Hi! Welcome, how can I help you?"
"I'm here for the painting classes?" Steve informed you politely, approaching the counter a bit hesitant. So he was both hot and cute, okay. Alright.
"Oh, you must be the Rogers on my list! I'm Y/n, I'm the teacher." You offered him your hand for him to shake, still smiling. He had booked one session, which was a normal thing people did to see if they liked the way you taught, but you hoped he joined your regular group.
He gladly shook your hand, a small smile forming on his lips as he body started to relax.
He told you his name, even if you already knew who he was. You proceeded to show him around, explaining how things worked around there.
Ever since that day 8 months ago, Steve's Wednesday and Saturday afternoons were spent at the studio. At first, you'd spent most of the time teaching Steve, since the rest of the group was more advanced than him, but you would walk around making suggestions and answering questions the others had.
It turned out Steve was a fast learner.
That or he was pushing himself just to make you proud. Hearing your praises every time he impressed you was what kept him going these days.
He wasn't afraid to admit he'd found you very attractive since the first day, both physically and due to your gentle yet commanding presence. But, by now, he was certain he was absolutely smitten. Feeling his heart beating faster when you looked at his work over his shoulder, so close to his face, or your hand on his shoulder when you passed by his side, or when your fingers brushed when you took the paintbrush from him to show him how to do something and he forgot how to breathe.
Every time he finished a project and you asked what he wanted to do next, he thought about how much he wanted to paint you, with your paint-stained overalls and your bright smile and your hair always perfectly messy. But that wouldn't be appropriate, so he always chose something else.
What Steve didn't notice is that your touch lingered on him on purpose, that you looked his way every chance you got just to see how adorable he looked when he was concentrating or when he tried to push back a strand of hair from his face without staining it with paint. Martha, another student from the group, seemed to catch on your crush on Captain America, giving you knowing looks every time she caught you staring at the man.
And how could you not stare at that man. Steve Rogers. Always so gentle and generous, bringing coffee and being interested in everyone else's projects. So raw with his paintings yet so delicate. And when he seemed so serious, focused on his work but then he'd turn to add something to the general conversation that always made you laugh and your heart flutter.
But sometimes you just stared at him with anticipation, wondering if he would stay late again.
Another class had just finished and everyone had gone already. Everyone except for Steve, who always seemed to take his time packing up his things only to end up offering to help you tidy everything up. The first time he offered, you had opposed, saying it wasn't necessary and that you got paid por doing this. But Steve was nothing but stubborn, so he insisted and then simply started helping even with your initial protests.
It was actually nice being alone with him and you didn't miss your chance to steal a glance or two every time his muscles popped through his shirt. Some days he'd stay a bit more just to continue with your conversation and those were your favorites, when you actually discovered who Steve was and he always left you wanting to know more but you had to cut it before it got too late.
"Don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the help and the company but you really don't have anything else to do on a Saturday evening? You don't have to stay after every class." You asked him while placing an unfinished painting on the drying rack before looking back at him. Usually you weren't an insecure person, but after weeks (months) of pining and growing affection you needed to know if he was just there to help or it was something more. But you didn't want to ask directly, in case you were imagining things.
"Believe it or not, I really don't. I like helping out and⌠If I'm being honest, I enjoy our talks after class." Steve confessed, holding your gaze with a smirk as he scrubbed paint remnants of his hands and forearms.
"I enjoy them too, Steve." You felt your cheeks getting warm as you smiled back at him. "Don't tell the others but... you're my favorite." You winked at him before turning around with another painting in your hands.
"I hope it's not just because I help you clean." He said teasingly as he walked towards you, drying his hands with a clean rag before resting it on his shoulder.
"You know it's not." You let your gaze linger on his for a moment before climbing a couple of steps of the ladder you had to reach the higher levels of the rack.
Steve handed you his unfinished piece, blush creeping on his cheeks as he looked up to you, following your movements as he let the realization sink in.
He's mouth dried momentarily, not knowing how to answer to that. So, it wasn't just him, huh.
"Then why am I your favorite?" He ended up saying, lowering his tone, noticing how the air shifted in the room.
You took a deep breath before you turned around to face him, shaking your head as you bit your lower lip.
"Well⌠you're a fast learner and you have a lot of potential⌠very delicate strokes⌠andâŚ" You didn't expect to find him staring at you with that intensity and that made you so anervous this time you couldn't hold his gaze. You thought of yourself as a pretty confident person, but having Steve Rogers that close to you, suddenly intimidating yet his blushing cheeks giving you a hint of vulnerability, was messing with your brain a little.
"And?" Steve raised an eyebrow, getting closer to you. He didn't know where the rush of confidence was coming from but he was rolling with it, not letting himself think too much about it.
"And⌠you bring coffee sometimes?" Your voice fell to almost a whisper when you finally managed to set your eyes on his face.
âRight, the coffee.â He nodded with a small smile, looking down for a second to find the hand that wasnât gripping the ladder, taking it in his.
âSâgood coffee.â You shrugged a bit, nervously biting your lip again.
âCâmere.â Steve tugged gently on your hand, pulling you down so his lips could reach yours, tenderly kissing you.
It took you a second, but you corresponded, letting go of the ladder to snake your hand to the back of his neck.
He then let your other hand go to hold your waist as he felt you deepening the kiss.
You threaded your fingers with his hair, gently scratching his scalp while the tip of your tongue tentatively licked his lower lip, asking for permission.
Steve gladly opened his mouth, his tongue brushing against yours. He hummed into the kiss as his free arm wrapped around your waist, his other hand moving down to the back of your thigh to lift you up from the ladder.
Not breaking the kiss, you helped by wrapping your arms around his neck and your legs around his narrow waist.
Steve gently pulled away just enough to get some much needed air, resting his forehead with yours with a smile tugging at his lips.
"That's what it was, then." He let out a breathy chuckle, still holding you up with no effort.
"Shut up." You chuckled with him, running your fingers through his hair and kissing him again.
Steve leaned into your touch, his lips both passionate and gentle against yours while he tried not to smile into the kiss.
After messing with his hair, your hands traveled to cup his bearded cheeks, caressing them and softly tugging at his lower lip with your teeth, feeling his hands grip your thighs tighter in response. You both pulled away, staring into each other's darkened eyes searching for silent confirmation. Seeing the corner of Steve's mouth lift, you moved your hands down his neck and grabbed him by his shirt to pull him in, lips crashing against each other with desire.
Steve turned around and started to walk blindly towards the table in the middle of the room, where you had props for the students to paint, and dropped you there, pressing his body against yours as his hands traveled to your ass.
You left his lips to kiss down his neck while you unbuttoned his shirt, kissing the skin as you exposed it. Steve helped you discard the shirt and tossed it somewhere behind him.
His large hands gently grabbed your jaw, tilting your face up to kiss your lips tenderly while his free hand unclasped your overalls. You broke the kiss to take your shirt off and once you did that Steve reached behind you to clear the table, some of the props falling to the ground and making you yelp at the commotion.
You made him chuckle as he moved down your neck, kissing and sucking the skin while his hands moved to take your bra off before carefully laying you back on the table, his mouth trailing down with his calloused hands caressing your body.
When he stopped at your hips, you lifted your pelvis so he could take the overalls off.
After getting rid of your clothes and your shoes, Steve settled back between your legs and you rubbed yourself against the very prominent bulge in his pants for some relief, a small whine coming from your lips as he rolled his hips with you and hovered over you to reach your mouth.
You wrapped your arms around him, your hands stroking his hair and the back of his neck.
Steve's tongue found yours as he used the hand that wasn't propping him up to knead your breast, his thumb rubbing on your pebbled nipple.
He sucked on your lower lip with a small grunt, still grinding against you, before leaving your lips again so his would find your other nipple, lapping at it before swirling his tongue around it.
You arched towards him as you keened, the feeling of nails digging on the nape of his neck making him thrust harder against you.
He would've wanted to take his time with you, but his dick was painfully hard inside his pants and he needed to be inside you soon now that this was finally happening. His hand move down between your bodies and under your underwear, dipping his fingers between your soaking folds.
"Oh, Honey⌠Can't wait to be inside youâŚ" he mumbled against your flesh as he started to rub gentle circles around your swollen bud.
"Fuck Steve...Then do it." You managed to say, your breath hitching at the direct stimulation, your hips instinctively moving against his touch.
Steve kissed your skin before looking up to find your eyes. "Soon⌠but I have to get you ready first." He cooed with a smirk as two of his fingers sunk inside your cunt. You were so wet he didn't find any resistance when he started pumping his curled fingers against your sweet spot, his thumb taking over rubbing your clit.
You two were alone in the studio, so you didn't hold back your moans as he opened you up, feeling the waves of pleasure take over your body.
Steve's mouth fell back on your chest, giving some attention to your other breast. You tangled your fingers with his hair, pressing his face against you as you felt the tension building up in your belly.
You felt him smile against your skin, followed by him adding a third finger inside you, picking up the pace.
"That's it, Steve, fuck I'm close." You moaned, digging your nails on his scalp, your body twisting in pleasure as you got close to your release.
Steve's moves didn't falter, he kept going the exact way he had been fucking you with his fingers when you said you were close, feeling your walls start to flutter around his digits.
He pulled his face away from the warmth of your chest to take you in as your orgasm washed over you, admiring how beautiful you looked coming undone under him.
When you came down from your high, Steve pulled his fingers from your core to suck the juice off them, humming at the taste.
You sat up to catch his lips, kissing him and tasting the remnants of yourself in his tongue as your hands grazed down his abdomen to palm his throbbing erection through his pants before unbuckling his belt. You freed his cock from his underwear, wrapping your hand around it and making him moan with your strokes. You placed a kiss on his sternum before looking up, biting your lip as you brushed his tip against your folds.
Steve grunted, his eyes almost black. He pulled your hands away from him and laid you back on the table, his movements firm and gentle at the same time. He lined his cock with your entrance and leaned over you again as he buried himself inside you, resting his weight on his left arm to kiss your lips, swallowing the whine that left your mouth as you felt the borderline painful stretch.
You wrapped yourself around his body, your hands running lovingly down his spine and your legs wrapping around his hips.
"You okay?" Steve asked, brushing his fingers on your cheek, nuzzling at your nose.
"Mhm⌠Just fuck me, please." You whispered in his mouth, pushing him to move with your heels.
"Okay, okayâŚ" He let out a low chuckle, the hand on your cheek slowly traveling down your body to settle on your waist as he started moving, slowly rolling his hips against yours.
You pressed your body against his, arching your back and allowing his arm to wrap around your waist, increasing his pace as he moved your body with his. Your nails dug on his back at the incredible feeling of his dick constantly rubbing against your spot.
Steve keened, his hips snapping harder into you in response. "You have no idea how many times I've thought about thisâŚ" He confessed against the shell of your ear in between his labored breaths, making goosebumps rise on your skin.
"I think I do⌠we should've done this sooner." You said against his neck, peppering it with sloppy kisses. "You feel so good, SteveâŚ"
Steve kissed across your jaw up to your lips, then moved down your throat before standing straight with a smirk, your praise only encouraging him.
Without slowing his pace, he moved your legs up to rest them on his broad shoulders, one of his hands gripping your thigh while the other moved to rub tight circles on your throbbing clit, the new angle making your eyes roll back from the pleasure starting to build up again.
It didn't take long for Steve to get another shattering orgasm out of you and you tried to hold onto something, your legs trembling in his hold as you moaned his name.
"That's it, Honey, I knew you would like that." Steve breathed out with a satisfied smile, his lips placing a kiss on your ankle while his hands tenderly stroked your shaking legs as you rode out your orgasm.
Having to contain himself while he felt you clench around him was almost unbearable as he was so close himself. He pulled out to slide his throbbing sensitive cock against your folds, pressing your thighs together with one of his ridiculously big and strong arms, his other hand still sticky with your fluids kneading your breast.
What was left of your attention was on him as you let him use you however he needed, you were fully spent but you didn't want to miss your lover's peak.
You held the hand he had on your breast as you let out small whimpers every time his tip touched your oversensitive clit.
Steve's gaze was locked on you, even as his eyelids fluttered from being so close, his thrusts erratic and sloppy until he finally spilled his release on your mound, the filthiest moan coming out of his mouth.
He then left your legs free, making them fall down his sides as you sat up on the table to cup his bearded jaw, pulling him in for a kiss.
Steve hugged your waist as you two lazily bushed your lips against each other's between smiles.
"That was⌠wow." You said out of breath not knowing what to say now, snaking a hand to stroke the nape of his neck.
"Yeah." He smiled down to you, his eyes shining with affection. "I don't know if it's inappropriate but⌠I'd like to take you out on a date." Steve asked with a hint of shyness in his voice while his thumbs draw soft circles on your skin, his cheeks warming up.
You threw your head back, inevitably laughing. "Steve, you just railed me into the table and you're worried about being inappropriate?" You exclaimed, amused by his comment.
"Yeah, well, when you put it like thatâŚ'' He sheepishly nodded, unable to hold back his own giggle.
"I'd like to have that date." You softly said when your laughter died down, pulling him in to kiss him again. "But we'll have to clean the mess you made first."
"Sorry about that." He mumbled against your lips before pulling away to get redressed.
After cleaning you up and helping you find your clothes, Steve started putting everything back in place with your help between giggles and confident glances.
It wasn't the first time Steve has stayed late and you two closed the studio but it was the first time you left together and hopefully it wouldn't be the last.

As requested, a Part II to the prompt from @riddles-wifeyââ about jealous Tom!
PART I HERE! đ
シ ・ďžâ: *.â˝ .* :âďž.
Jealousy
Summary: Reader tries to avoid Tom following their strange confrontation, fails miserable, a very different kind of confrontation ensues.
Word count: 1.5k Content warning: making out, nothing too serious.
シ ・ďžâ: *.â˝ .* :âďž.
âSomething weird happened,â you say bluntly, falling into the seat next to Margot in Transfiguration the next morning.
She immediately looks up from her textbook.
âWith Riddle,â you add quietly, glancing around the classroom to check for onlookers and potential eavesdroppers.
Margotâs brows shoot up and a wide grin splits her face. âAre you serious?â she whispers excitedly, leaning in.
âYeah,â you mutter, pulling out your Transfiguration textbook and some parchment. âI think he thought that me and Varrowe were datingâŚâ
âAnd?â Margot says immediately, so focused on you that she doesnât notice Dumbledore stride into the room (which is rather impressive considering heâs dressed in vibrant lime green robes with glittering gold fastenings.)
âHe got all mad last night when he saw us together, but then when I told him that I was Varroweâs tutor, heâŚâ You trail off, twirling your quill in your fingers, very unsure how to even describe what had happened.
âYes?â Margot prompts, still grinning.
âHe got all up close and⌠intense,â you mumble with a wave of your hand, feeling your cheeks grow warm.
Margot looks delighted. âAnd?â
âAnd nothing,â you shrug, dejectedly writing the date at the top of your parchment. âAfter that he just⌠left.â
âSweet Snidgets above,â Margot says, shaking her head with a wry smile on her face. âYou snagged Riddle.â
âI havenât snagged anyone!â you whisper hastily, glancing around again. âAnd keep your voice down!â
âIâm so proud of you,â she says theatrically, completely ignoring your panic. âMerlinâs beard, wait until poor Olive Hornby finds out, sheâs been planning their wedding since first year ââ
âSheâs not going to find out anything,â you say pointedly, narrowing your eyes, âbecause thereâs nothing to find out!â
âSure, sure,â Margot winks, âso what are you going to do?â
âDunno,â you mutter, âI guess just avoid him for the rest of time.â
âAvoid him?â she repeats, looking scandalised. âAre you completely stupid? Why would you ââ
âMy deepest apologies, Miss Droope,â Dumbledore calls from the front of the room, making the both of you jump and wheel around in your seats as the entire class turns to look at you. âIâm afraid I must interrupt your conversation with the minor inconvenience of todayâs lesson,â he continues with a sparkle in his eye. âPerhaps you two might find a time outside of class to continue your discussion.â
âSorry Professor,â you both mutter, hastily bending over your notes.
Dumbledore resumes the class, but the side-eye grin that Margot shoots you assures you that you are most definitely not off the hook yet.
シ ・ďžâ: *.â˝ .* :âďž.
Your plan to avoid Riddle works right up until the exact moment that it doesnât.
Itâs a rainy Monday night about a week after the strange conversation with Riddle and youâre holed up in the library with the most gruelling History of Magic assignment youâve ever had â a sixty inch dissertation on the contributing factors of the Giant Wars.
You throw your quill down and sigh, staring up at the droplets trickling down the dark window and listening to the relentless thrum of the rain. Your eyes are aching and your brain feels like fuzz â itâs definitely time for a break.
You get up and wander down the nearby shelves, vaguely searching for a particular text and fully intending on taking as long as possible to find it, when just like that you round the corner and see Riddle standing in the middle of the aisle.
You freeze.
He hasnât seen you yet, peering attentively at a text open in one hand as the other traces down its table of contents. You take a slow step back, and right as you think you might get away without drawing his attention, his head swivels around and his eyes flash to yours.
Thereâs a very loaded pause in which you must look a lot like a deer caught in headlights.
âEvening,â Riddle says smoothly, snapping his book shut with one hand and sliding it back onto the shelf.
âHi,â you say awkwardly.
âI havenât seen you around very much lately,â Riddle says casually, leaning against the bookshelf beside him.
âIâve been busy,â you mutter, avoiding his even gaze as you scan the shelves for the book youâre looking for.
âOh Iâm sure,â he says softly.
You grit your teeth and squint at the books in front of you, determined to ignore him.
âWhat are you looking for?â Riddle asks.
âModern Gigantomachy,â you say reluctantly.
âWhich edition?â
You glance around at him. Heâs still leaning against the bookshelf, looking annoyingly attractive, the waves of his black hair contrasting with his skin, the fine angles of his brows above his dark eyes, the knowing curl on his lips as he watches you â
âFourth,â you say quickly before you can get too distracted.
Riddle pushes off the bookshelf and is suddenly mere inches in front of you. Your heart immediately lurches as you take an instinctive step away and your back hits the shelf behind you. Riddle delicately arches a brow at your reaction, his eyes fixed on yours as he slowly reaches up to a shelf far above you and slides a book off of it. He hands it to you and you take it automatically.
âThanks,â you breathe, staring at him wide-eyed.
âOf course,â Riddle says softly.
Thereâs another silence. Neither of you have moved an inch, and you begin to wonder exactly how many times youâre going to end a hairâs breadth away Riddle before one of you finally caves â
âYouâve been avoiding me,â he murmurs, a smirk building on his lips.
Your heart stops for a second. âYou were jealous of Varrowe,â you blurt out.
Riddleâs smirk falls. He lifts a hand to rest on the shelf above your head, leaning over you very unnervingly. âJealous?â he repeats sharply
âYeah,â you breathe, slightly horrified that youâd actually said it out loud. âYou were.â
Something works in Riddleâs jaw as he glares down at you, and you hug the book he gave you closer to your chest.
âAnd why would I be jealous of Varrowe?â he whispers.
You blink at him. Riddle is close, too close, his eyes raking across your face as he looms over you, something almost possessive about his hand above your head. Thereâs no mistaking the sudden shift in the air between you.
Youâre leaning up onto the balls of your feet without thinking twice.
Your lips brush against his, so softly that the kiss is barely there, but enough to send your heart hammering as you pull back just far enough to check his reaction. Your cheeks are aflame and your lips are tingling, unable to believe what youâve just done as the silence stretches on and on, as Riddle stares back at you, frozen in place with something you canât recognise burning in his dark eyes.
The faintest frown appears between Riddleâs brow, and then slowly, very slowly, heâs leaning down towards you. Your breath hitches. His lips meet yours at the exact same moment that he steps in closer, crowding you back against the shelf, soft and warm, kissing you with a smooth, relentless pressure and youâre leaning up into it without even realising what youâre doing, thoughts swirling, heat on your skin, stomach twisting â
Riddle is pulling the book from your hands and carelessly dropping it to the floor, taking you by the waist and lifting you up as he steps in again, pinning you to against the bookshelf without breaking the kiss. Your hands card into the soft waves of his hair and his grip on your waist tightens as you wrap your legs around him. The first touch of his tongue makes you gasp against his lips, and Riddleâs fingers immediately tangle in your hair to pull you harder against him. Riddleâs mouth is moving against yours, hungry and unyielding, and youâre getting dizzy as heat curls in your stomach â
He pulls away very suddenly. You stare at him in surprise, breathing hard. Riddleâs lips are slick and his eyes have gone black, one of his hands still buried in your hair and the other gripping your hip so tightly that youâre sure that youâll have bruises in the pattern of his fingers tomorrow.
âWe are in the middle of the library,â he murmurs against your lips. It takes a lot to resist shivering at the sound of his voice.
âWe⌠could⌠go somewhere elseâŚâ you manage to say, your heart racing so hard that he can surely hear it.
A small smirk builds on his face. âWhat about your essay?â he says smoothly, so close that your lips start aching to close the scant distance between you â
âI think technically I just had my textbook confiscated by a prefect,â you whisper with a flicker of a smile, âso thereâs my alibi.â
Riddle breathes a laugh, and then his lips are on yours once more.
Thanks for asking for a sequel @bluehydrangea-cherryâ and @the-almond-dinger đ

Drunk in Love
Summary: Â Getting drunk and confessing your love for your âboyâ friend and fucking him was most definitely not what you expected to go down on the usual night.
Pairing: Issei Matusukawa x Reader
Tags: Timeskip!Tattoed Mattsun, softdom!issei Hurt/comfort, friends to lovers, smut, fluff, virgin!reader, Unptrotected sex, non-penetrative sex, fingering, oral, pussy/thigh job, clit slapping, sweet dirty talk, praise, drunk sex
Word count: 7.2k
A/N: I heard pussy job and I wrote a whole ass novel
18+ Minors DNI
You run your finger over the condensation of your empty drink, drawing shapes (or what you thought to be shapes, you couldnât tell at this point) waiting for your dear friend, Makki to bring you a refill of your cocktail. Â
âHere ya go.â Makki said as he returned with your beloved Malibu Sunset. The smooth coconut rum bringing you back to your first and favorite drink that you ever got drunk on in high school. You smiling at the memory
âThanks.â you say. Your reply being mumbled by the liquid already in your mouth.
This all started with Iwaizumi calling Mattsun up, you and Makki hearing âYou wanna get wasted?â on the other side of the phone. And with pleasure, you two were already packing your stuff up, shoving yalls âpregameâ bottles back in the bag. The three of you made your happy way there climbing through the fence of the abandoned skate park you were in. Needles to say it was abandoned for a reason, but whatâs life without a little danger.
You three and the rest of the third years have been friends since high school, meeting in freshman year, and now including Oikawaâs girlfriend. You actually didnât like Oikawa at first, his âpretty boyâ demeanor making you internally cringe. But his personality grew quickly on you, being the perfect target to tease you and Iwa clowning him over everything.
Now back to you on your nth drink, complaining about your previous job that fired you because u got injured, even though you know you wouldnât have lasted long there anyways because you werenât that academically inclined. Bright? Whatever you wanted to call it.
And as-usual it wasnât long before your crybaby ass immediately called Makki and Issei and âtriedâ your best to tell them what happed with your dramatic self-induced tears running down you race, while Makki urged to you to try to calm down and Issei straight up laughing at the state your were in, snot running out of your nose. You recoiling at the thought, hoping they forgot. (Spoiler, they didnât)
But now you nanny for a rich couple and you get payed good to play with cute babies all day, sounds good to you! Luckily, you had the week off due to them going on a vacation, you think it was France, no, the south of France. Must be nice.
Cue to now, Mattsun chuckling and leaning on you and Iwaizumi; both of you, especially Iwa, being visibly done with his shit. Him reminding you about the times you bought him some random shit, which you went out of your way for since he always payed for you, like that chopper keychain because you said it reminder you of him.
He didnât know what compelled you to say his 6â2, tattooed built self looked like a tiny reindeer but okay. It still meant a lot to him, hooking it onto his motorcycle keys. But you knew he appreciated it, despite his appearance heâs a softie.
âYou wanna try thisââ He says gaining his composure offering you one of the shots he got.
You took one of the mini glasses, not being the type to back down and promptly swung the drink to the back of your mouth, quickly coughing before it even reached your throat.
âThis shit is fucking gross.â You coughed out bringing the glass down from your lips.
 âImagine being sober. Canât relate.â He said taking another shot.
 âI guess I should do that but ive passed the point of giving a fuckâ You said sending yall into a giggling fit while somehow Makki was thrown in to support yall from falling over. You two carry on laughing ignoring everyoneâs stares at you thinking about how much yall fit perfectly together. Â
  Makki rearranges himself to sit back in his chair, far away, from the both of you, whispering âDamn. Iâm really third wheeling.â under his breath. Getting a snicker out of Oikawa sitting next to him.
  âWhen your best friends are ignoring you. Sad times.â He continues bringing his bottle to his mouth getting no response.
 Issei chuckles and gets up shoving his hands in his pocket reaching for the cigarettes. Pulling them out while failing to find his lighter
 âFuck.â He muttered
 âAnyâall got a light?â
 No one responds so you sacrifice yourself âYeahâ you say reaching into your pocket grabbing out your prized possession of a hot pink, bedazzled lighter that you did yourself, reaching out to hand it to him.
 âDonât lose itâ you stated seriously trying not to break a smile.
 âKâ sweet cheeks.â He said smirking into the butt between his lips as he walked away. Your face now burning up, hoping that everyone would think it was because of the alcohol.
 You mind wanders, thinking about the âdatesâ you two go on, from watching shows you âforcingâ him to watch some romantic anime, to going to the skatepark, to playing video games with the rest of the 3rd years (which you donât really like but youâll play for him) and him surprising you with takeout, you bringing out candles trying your best to make it cute with him telling u everything you everything about his day.
 And you always tried to remain calm, even though sometimes he deserved to get his ass beat, like that one time he broke one of your favorite pair of heels. It honestly hurt him even more, he wanted you to get mad at him but no, you just acted like nothing happened. Making the guilt rise in him. Letâs just say didnât have to lift a finger for the next few weeks.
You basically babied him, taking care of all his âchoresâ, mainly making him food when you were at his place knowing he hated doing it. Makki teasing you for acting like his housewife, leading to you slapping the shit outta him while trying to cover your now red cheeks.
Youâve never been so grateful for your attire at the moment, blessing yourself for not wearing your usual outfits of short skirts and cute tops, defending yourself saying what housewife dresses in beat up vans and baggy clothes. You definitely not imaging yourself in that position for the rest of the day.
 You expressed that you just liked to take care of people, which was true. You always looked out for them, bringing an extra umbrella, to bringing cookies you made at 2 in the morning to school, always carrying band-aids (yes, the paw patrol ones you took from the kids you babysit).
You checked the time on your phone seeing it was late since the sun at last went down, your lock screen being your dogs to their complaint since they have a group photos of you all from high school as theirs. To which you replied âTheyâre my babiesâ getting a groan and huff out of them.
 Seeing the notifications of your group chat you grinned at the contact name you and Issei gave each other; yall jokingly call each other pet names, his contact being honeybun and yours being pumpkin, even including Makki in your contacts as pudding bc then it wasnât weird, right? no.
 âWhatâre you smiling at y/n?â Oikawa cheekily asks teasing you. You turn to him giving him a dirty look, not having enough energy to deal him right now.
 âDonât listen to his bullshit.â Oikawaâs girlfriend says. Youâre thankful for her. She was always on your side, being the only other girl in your friend group. To be honest you just wanted her and you to hang out most of the time, but of course to your disapproval her boyfriend and his friends had to join in.
 âFuck this. Fuck you. Iâm sleeping.â You say getting up to her objection, the only thing on your mind wanting to retire for the night.
 âYou sure youâll be fine? Let us at least walk you home.â She said already grabbing her boyfriendâs arm.
 âNah, im good. I live right down the road.â You try to say not slurring. The last thing you want is him teasing you even more, especially in this state, knowing you, youâd probably start crying at the slightest irritation when youre this drunk.
  You started to âwalkâ towards your house resting your hand against the brick walls to not lose your balance, leading you to run into Issei. You stopped to watch him lean against the alley holding a cigarette between his index and middle finger.
 âIâm hiding like a bitchâ He says noticing you, resting his weight against the wall.
 âWanna be a bitch with me? He grinned  blowing out the smoke out with his words.
You didnât reply, just walking over to him, just being around him made you feel warm.
"Fuck its windy.â He says trying to light a new cig.
âCâyou make me a house?â He asks.
You go up and put your hands around his cigarette, this not being your first time. Your hands wrap a little tighter to prevent the wind from burning out his flame. He joins you with his free hand helping, finally getting his cig to light.
 âThanks dollâ He smirks.
âNo problem princess.â You reply earning a laugh out of him.
He takes his first hit with his and your hands still wrapped around it. He gets an up-close look at your hands, noticing how tiny they were, seeing all the scars that he never noticed, making a mental note to ask you how you got them later.
His head gets close to yours for the first time in a while due to his height. You glance at his face, noticing his features seeing some stubble growing on his face.
âYou ainât shave?â You ask, never seeing it in the past, while he was moving back up, blowing the smoke away from you.
âWhat, you donât like my majestic beard? âHe jokes. Making you giggle almost losing your balance before catching yourself on the wall.
 âsâtoo much work.â He starts. âYou wanna shave it for me?â he says slightly leaning towards you. Handing you back your lighter knowing you didnât need him to carry it because your pants actually had pockets in them for once.
You let out a soft laugh not responding again. He catches on, you got quiet when you were tired and he made out that you were walking towards your house.
âYou going home?â he asks already knowing the answer.
âYeah.â You respond more than happy to have him walk you back, him already moving to walk next to you.
He walks you home, you two talking about random shit, both of you forgetting about your skateboards leaving Makki to deal with them. And even though youâre drunk as fuck youâre still in the right state of mind, carrying a normal conversation with him. But just because youâve built a tolerance doesnât mean you can do basic tasks, like walk correctly.
When he reaches your house, he types in the keycode, your first dogs birthday, being glad that you, him and Makki have each otherâs memorized.
He leads you into you house setting you on the couch, petting your dogs that ran up to him.
âMommyâs not feeling too goodâ He said giving them the affection they deserved.
âYes I am.â You slurred getting them attention on you now.
He walked over to your counter putting on the playlist that you two made together on shuffle, High fashion being the first to play. You didnât like when it was quiet because too many thoughts would run though your head. You were in no way sad, singing the lyrics while you were laughing barely being able to hold yourself up as proof.
Remembering you were tired, he takes you off the couch and borderline carries you to your room, , setting you on your plush blankets that you had so many of because it was warm and comfy.
 âEasy, there. Try to sit up.âHe said, trying to ask you what draws your pjâs were in because he didnât want to snoop around; neither of you being bothered that you were half naked, whatâs the difference between panties and a bikini, he thought remembering the times youâve been to the beach together. Â
Well it was maybe the fact that you were clinging onto him because u stumbled into him and he was closest stable thing around and you wouldnât let go because it was cold and you couldnât stop shaking.
 He ignores his thoughts and grabs the shirt he got out figuring you donât need to change your bra because you told him and Makki that it was normal to keep it on for a few days after they were in awe as you were explaining how expensive they were. You calling Oikawaâs girlfriend to prove your point as she immediately agreed with youâŚSometimes you might have got a little too comfortable with them.
You hear the song in the background change to Love Songs, you humming along, âHope you smile when you listen.â
You were still holding on to him, your boobs squeezing against him, him only being able to put a t-shirt on you, while you looked up at him with your red glossy eyes making him burn up. Â
You fidget timidly with your face now in his chest while gripping his sweater. Trying to build up the little courage you had. He tilts your head up making you look at him, wondering what you were thinking about.
 You try to express yourself, but you canât get the words out him having no idea what is going on in your head at the moment.
âItâs okay to be nervous sometimes. Tell meâ He gently says reading your body language. He was intuitive, so there was no way you could hide your feelings from him.
But you knew you could trust him, him having full self-control, always staying collected and following through on what he said heâd do. He went out of his way to avoid any friction coming between you two, him never raising his voice or starting an argument.
âWe need to talk.â You started. âAbout something important.â
âOkâŚWhat is it?â He questioned rubbing his hands on your back. You were so nervous, were you really about to say this? Confess your feelings that youâve pushed to the back of your heart for so long?
âI⌠I l⌠I love your face. And the stuff in it. and around it.â You spoke, being surprised you did it stutter.
He stood there, hands stopped moving trying to process what you just said.
âJust you, in generalâŚâ  You finally confess trying to state three things at once barely getting your words out.
But he understood exactly what you meant, or maybe he was warping what you said to fit what he wanted.
 "I donât even know when I started liking you, but this shit won't go away." You restated
 Nope. He clearly just heard you say that.
 He doesnât understand whatâs so different about today. Yall have been in this scenario multiple times taking care of each other, sometimes including another into the mix. Â
You didnât understand either. You just felt like the time was right, even though you know it wasnât the best idea to confess while you were drunk off your ass.
But you couldnât help it, your feelings overflowing, which you never until this day let get the best of you, being vulnerable and trusting is not your usual . Youve never even had a crush on anyone, him being to only in your whole life to make you blush.
 Who you been vibin' wit and why I can't make you mine?
 You should have seen the signs that you feel for him when he helped that lady that lives down the street from him set up her Christmas lights or when he first met your dog that wasnât fond of men, but it instantly liked him. And you loved his selflessness it was something you admired and applauded.
 ây/nâ He tries talking you down, making sure you werenât just saying this because of alcohol, deep down knowing he felt the same, you always being in the back of his mind.
You were generous with your time too, always being there for him. You knew he was softer than he appeared, he was tender, sensitive and vulnerable. He tried his hardest to not get into situations where anyone would get hurt, like breakups, arguments, and so on.
Which is why he wonât make the first move. He pushes his feelings to the back of his head. He values your friendship more than anything, but he can see what develops. If love is meant to be, it will happen.
I told you I am down for the worse or the better. But I keep sticking to you cause them four stupid letters
  âYou make me so happy. And Iâll always care about you. Okay? He says breaking the silence, trying to reassure you. Â
 âYou mean so much to meâsomething I canât even put into words because nothing can compare- Iâve wanted you since that day you tripped and bust your ass in the school hallway I still want you even though you drive me insane.â
 âIss-â You tried to get out only to have him continue talking over you.
 "I love that you canât leave the house without a jacket. I love the wrinkles that appear on your forehead after you call me crazy. I love that it takes you hours to get ready. I love that you always know how to make me feel better. I love that even when you donât agree with my decisions you always trust me to make them. I love that when I spend a day with you, I can still smell you on my clothes; and I love that you are the last person I think of  before I go to sleep at night."
 You stood there awestruck for what feels like eternity until you mustered the bravery to speak âI didnât expect you to feel the same way-â You said, being dumbfounded because from what youâve seen treats everyone âniceâ, were you really getting special treatment?
 He tilts your chin up, locking his dark eyes with yours. âBaby I donât know if your notice but you and Makki are my only people that arenât my family that call me my first name.â
He has a point. You think pushing yourself more into him, trying to fuse your bodies together to hide, not relaxing what you were doing to him. He tries to nudge your legs to the side but you wonât let go still clinging onto him.
âfuckâ He groans. You pulling back wondering why until you looked down and noticed. A smirk appeared on your face as you reattached your self to him like velcro. You were feeling bold, the liquid courage still in your system driving you to slide your fingers down his chest, looking him in the eyes before stopping at his waistband. Â
He knows what youâre doing, him being in this position multiple times. Does he really want to ruin your friendship like this? He hasnât even asked you to be his girlfriend. He tries to push you off him already knowing you were gonna complain. But what he didnât expect was for you to whimper out his name in that pretty voice of yours.
 He tried to keep his calm, blood already rushing down. âYou know what youâre doingâ
âyeahâ You start.
âyâdonât want me?â Giving him your pouty face that you know heâs weak for, hoping thatâll work, insecurity piling up. Was it because your boobs werenât that big or that fact that you were dressed like man? Was he not attracted to you right now, only liking you when you were dolled up?
âFuckâ You think. You should have worn something cute instead of dressing like a whole ass man even with your makeup fully done. Its not like you were supposed to know you were gonna get fucked today.
His were burning holes into you now, thinking of how to say âNo, I would be more that happy to fuck you!â to his best friend, soon regaining his consciousness finally speaking.
âFuck no doll, ive wanted you for a minute. You know me better than I know myself. How did you not notice my feelings?â
 You got me singing love songs, love songs, love songs
âYouâre really hard to readâ You replied trying to maintain your seductive act, resting your hands back on his chest.
âSo are you.â He said lowering his head, you still looking up at him, taking in your gleaming eyes.
Sex ain't the only thing that's on my mind But you get me so excited, whoa
Your heart was beating so wildly that you could only take little sips of breath. His hands running down your waist stopping at your hips.
âCan I kiss you?" He asks "...yeahâ you attempted to say as confidently as you could, nodding your head along with it.
His face bent down, hot mouth breathing over you. His lips slowly moved, brushing over yours, the liquor on his lips that you hated; only choosing fruity drinks even though you got relentlessly teased you for it. Â You pushed further into the kiss desperately wanting more. Your teeth clicking his from being impatient, wanting to suck him in. Your hands sliding under his shirt subconscious desires reaching out.
Irreplaceable Tattoos from your neck that drop down to your ankles
âYouâre drunkâŚâ he says snapping you out of your trance.
âSo are you.â
He dove in for another kiss much more passionate than the previous one, arguably needy, pusing you on the bed to which you more than happily comply. He tugs back not letting his mind get the best of him, disconnecting your spit trial leaving you panting. âYou sure this alright?â He says deep down hoping you still say yes.
 You pull him back for your answer, your grabby little hands working their way back up his shirt. He gets the hint and pauses your lips rendezvous, taking off the turtleneck that he looked oh so good in, before seeing his unclothed body. Youâre admiring his body in a new way, before just complimenting him whenever he got a new tattoo, now up under him tracing them like a lovestruck teenager.
âWhen did you get this one?â You quietly ask, his ears closer to you than theyâve ever been.
âI got it that day you faked sickâ
âWhat! You said were gonna take me!â You sulked, turning your head away from his as much as you could, crossing your arms.
He let out a slight laugh before gently taking your face in his hands, guiding you back into the kiss.
This is not really what he imagined for your first time. Heâs an old-fashioned romantic who likes to take one step at a time. But then again nothing was ever normal with you. That said, when he falls in love, he falls deep.
âYouâve done this before?â You uttered.
âHmm?â He mumbles, unmoving his lips from you kissing you, moving towards your neck.
âYou still with that other girl?â
âNo. I broke it off her, everything that came out of her mouth was bullshit, and no she wasnât my girlfriend.â
âYou didnât trust her? You added. Trying to distract him until you could think of a way you could say âhey in my 21 years of life Iâve never got passed kissing a guy.â
âOur relationship was purely built on lies, Iâd second guess everything she said. He replied, wondering if you were interrogating him.
âWhyâd you wanna know?â He asked bringing his face up from your skin.
ââŚNo oneâs ever touched me like this, fuck.â You bashfully admitted, thoughts racing through your head that he didnât want you anymore because you werenât experienced.
But he knew what was running through that pretty head of yours, his fingers reaching out to with your hair trying to comfort you.
âYouâre a virgin?â He curiously asked dragging his hand to your cheek, you leaning into it.
ây-yeahâ you muttered trying to move your eyes away from his looking down at his body.
âI thought you had a boyfriend beforeâ he said, softly turning your jaw to make you look at him. Your eyes diverted from his arms back to his eyes.
âWe werenât actually datingâ You quickly say trying to clear up the misunderstanding. âHe was my friend and seatmate that pretended to be my fake boyfriend to get me out of some troubleâ you spewed out âand I guess I forgot to tell everyone that it was fake.â
âEven if we were that doesnât mean we fucked.â You sheepishly replied.
âSo⌠what trouble did your fake boyfriend get you out of.â He questioned knowing how much trouble it must have been for you, miss independent, to go to such lengths.
âUmm, wellâŚthis guy wouldnât stop flirting with me even after I told him I donât like him, even following me to my other classes.â
He wasnât surprised, you were definitely a sight for sore eyes, in fact the prettiest thing heâs laid his eyes on, your beaming eyes, your dimple when you smiled, your pretty face, your âuglyâ laugh, he could go on for days.
âWhy are we talking about thisâ You whined, reaching your hand back out to him.
He took a hint and continued kissing you, bringing you closer to him while you attempted to take you shirt off. His hands helping you seeing as that you were struggling, being lost in his touch, finishing by moving you up more on you bed, pushing your plushies out of the way, to your protested because âthey had feelings too.â
He ignored you, bending down to pull your panties off stopping once he saw the slick coming through them.
âFuck baby youâre wetâ He breathed dragging his fingers across your clothed slit earing a whimper from you, leaving his fingers drenched.
 Shawty, you wanna feel good, I wanna feel good too Don't I make you feel good?
âMâalways wet.â you responded.
From what? He questions taking off your soaked cotton panties, tossing them to the side.
âFrom me?â He smirks bringing his hand back towards your heat. You not even comprehending what he just said, just knowing that youâre ashamed of how worked up you were getting.
You were in awe. Youâve always known his hands were big, but in this situation your mind wondered. His fingers were so much bigger than yours knowing you can barely fit two inside your with out it hurting, and not in a good way.
âDo you know how pretty you are? Itâs honestly distracting.â. He says kissing down your whole body, stopping at your breasts, licking lazily around and coming back to the nub. The attention on your nipples making you squirm and he finally lets go, you grateful that he stopped or you would have almost cum, how embarrassing.
âI thought you said were gonna get them piercedâ He remembered, you going on a whole rant about how cute they were.
âYou said u were gnna get em with meâ You looked back on, reminding yourself making him promise to get them with you because you were too scared of the pain.
âThat was the same day you played sick and I got that tattoo.â He stated lightening the mood, hoping you can calm yourself down before you actually embarrass yourself.
He picks back up and continues kissing all the way down your body, you playing with his hair while biting your lip to muffle your moans and whine until he reaches your entrance.
He parted your legs, your pussy laid out before him, believing you no have reason to be shy about it either. He paused, admiring your swollen cunt and puffy clit, you were beautiful.
The feeling that he didn't want anyone else ever in his position overtook him. He let out a little breath on your clit and you thrashed around. He wasn't going to play. âIâll take care of you.â
His lips travel over your skin, light and heated before settling himself between your legs, grabbing you by your thighs and dragging you closer. âThat tickles.â you giggle, nerves making you kick your legs, almost hitting him in the face before he grabs them. He puts them down locking your legs with his arms, lowering himself until heâs on the ground facing you.
âDoes it make you nervous when I stare?â he teases while your covering your face trying to hide the blush he caused. Â He puts his mouth on you, quickly gripping your thighs, his hands leaving imprints in your skin dragging you even more into him, deprived kisses taking over your body.Â
âyer so prettyâ You purred seeing the sight of his big build between your legs, your fingers grabbing onto his curly dark locks, tugging them.
 Issei moans, his voice radiating through your body, forcing out a cry, blessing him with your pretty voice. âI-Issei!â You cry, never feeling like this before, your vibrator and hands doing it no justice.
âShh, just look at me, doll.â
You can barely make out what he says, so drunk on pleasure. You try your best, doing anything to see the pretty man beneath you. But you get interrupted by your pleasure, your back arching not being able to control your body, grinding down to meet his lips, heat rising in you.
He kisses through your wetness playing with your bud. You choking on your spit, back arching again your body tensing up. âIssei,â You beg, grabbing him knowing what you want but not being able to express it. Luckily he can read you like an open book, knowing what you want, driving you over the edge as he makes you see stars. âGood girl,â he sighs when he feels you let go of his wrist letting him bring you your first orgasm.
âLook at your thighs shaking so much.â He teasingly cooed, wrapping his hands around them, bringing you out of your daze.
Shawty, your body is so exciting
Arching your back into the blankets, letting out a whine âWant your fingers.â.
He lets out a condescending laugh. âYou need to learn to be patient. You just came and youâre already so eager for more?â
But by the time he finished your body went limp, you were totally weak, body loose-limbed and pliant. Your mind clouded by lust and deep in your own world. You gasped out a little sob, unable to comprehend anything beyond the discomfort and the need to have it gone. You canât think straight all you can do is take action, grabbing his arm him easing his fingers into to you.
Itâs not too tight, is it?â you ask clenching around his fingers.
 âJust relax⌠let yourself feel itâ He says barely being able to move in you. Fuck so were so tight.
âI love the way you look with my fingers inside you.â He added starting to thrust them inside you, making you let out a string of moans.
âLook how good you take it.â Â
âFuck, youâre so messy.â He groaned feeling the slick running down his hands, before taking them out.
âIssei-i,â You cried when he pulled away, pleasure leaving you, tears coming back.
 He shushes you easily, his fingers wiping your tears. You were so precious to him, your moans music to his ears.  He slows down repositioning his fingers, making you let out a whimper squeezing around them. Your brains so crowded you canât focus, canât gather the strength to speak when he thrust them faster inside you.
 Your eyes rolled to the back of your head as you fell back, fingers curling inside you, chanting his name over and over, incoherent words coming out of your mouth begging for more.Â
You pussy tightens as you cum, unable to breath, letting out gasps and whines. Him still fucking you, fingers not stopping, pushing them in and out relentlessly feeling both pain and pleasure. You lay there, wet in your own cum not giving yourself a break before you went and got what you really wanted, his cock.
His eyes followed the movement of your hands as they pushed down his boxers, revealing the length of his cock, that jutted proudly from his hips. He was so pretty, so virile and handsome. Wondering how lucky you were to be in such a position with him.
You pushed away those thoughts and focused on him, pulling him forward gently, but he followed his encouragement. One of his hands tilted his cock down toward your lips. âOpen your mouth for me, baby.â
You parted them instantly, tongue sliding slightly outward, and then you whimpered as the warm weight of his cock slid into your mouth. You let your eyes flutter closed and swirled your tongue around the tip of his cock not knowing exactly what you were doing, but it was working, tasting the salty tang of the precum that wept from his leaking slit. You moved your tongue as the he put his hand into your hair, gripping the strands and pushing deeper into his mouth.
âYou look so good on your knees like that. âHe says meeting your eyes once again, almost cumming from the picture below him.
âSlowly, baby, Iâm not going anywhere.â He says slowing you down by grabbing your hair, making a pace that you follow.
âYeah, thatâs it, baby, just like that.â Seeing that sinful look in your eyes with your redden swollen lips.
You moan feeling yourself drip down your thighs, getting even wetter giving him head. Trying to ease the discomfort by closing your legs, griding them together, trying to find some friction. Your ears hearing âThatâs so fucking hot.â watching the scene unfold beneath him.
Your jaw hurts, trying got make him cum faster using your hands and lips together hollowing your cheeks. âOh fuck, oh, Jesus, fuck yes, there, just like that, fucking Christ" he groans out, his voice sounded beautiful to your ears, knowing he was about to cum.
He finally lets go cumming in your mouth, you swallowing it all, trying not to wince at the taste. âDid I do goodâ You ask waiting for his reply. Your doll eyes, so red and worn out looking up at him for approval. Fuck he was whipped.
âYeahâŚfuck baby���
I love when you get on top and you ride it
You get back under him, his cock resting on you, drenched and clenching around nothing, resting in your cum. You working yourself up against him.
âWhat makes you think Iâm going to fuck you?â He says to your complaint.
âYouâre not ready yet.â he mumbles against your whining. Spreading your legs, slapping your clit a few times before letting his cock rest on your folds. Finally getting âseatedâ he picks up your legs and puts them both on one of his shoulders your thighs warming his cock, your knees touching his cheek not moving, getting a kick out of how desperate your were for him.
âs-stop being meanâ You cried reaching out for him to come closer, needing affection after all youâve been though.
âAww, poor baby, you want me to take care of it for you? He says leaning into you, reaching your kiss, tasting the remnants of the cum in your mouth.
He plundered your mouth and slowly teased his cock over your entrance, catching it against your clit and making you whimper into the kiss, clearly wanting to be fucked. Your kiss turned you sucking on Isseiâs tongue and lips, biting the swollen pout until his lips were red and puffy. He pulled back and looked down at you, a beautiful mess under him.
His fat cock head pushed between your folds. The moan escaping both of your lips was primal. You were turned on beyond imagination and the way he was thrusting forward, spreading his leaking precum on your wet clit was almost too much. He quickly picked up his pace fucking your folds, his warm head brushing against your clit with every movement, but your greedy self wanted more.
The fact that he made you cum so easily made you proud. Just because youâve never gone this far with someone else doesnât mean youâve never cum, youâve had a lot of practice over the years, being insatiable, the sheets soaked underneath you from your previous orgasms being proof.
âKeep your eyes open, look at me, baby.â He moans getting your attention him.
You tried, you really tried, but the way he was stroking you, imagining what itâd be like to actually sit on his cock, the lewd sounds echoing in the background leaving you unable to focus.
He taps on your cheek eventually getting you look at him, keeping your mind on him by placing his fingers in your mouth you letting him, hazily sucking on them, not being able to close your mouth.
âOh, baby, youâre drooling everywhere.â He grumbles. Your spit dripping onto his fingers, the friction of your thighs making him feral, moving at an even faster pace. Your body bouncing with every thrust.
âYou gonna cum after I cum on your little clit? Come one more time for me, I know youâve got it in you.â You sob feeling the puddle beneath you, time slowing, fire pooling in your tummy. Â Listening to his words you let yourself go. You come with a silent scream as the pleasure ripped through your body, your nails scratching his soft skin. Your vison fading to black feeling him lose his rhythm and moaning a mixture of curse words along with your name, feeling him cum on your tummy before resting his head in your neck while letting your legs go.
âSo good for me, look at how much you came.â He says breaking the static. You whining into his shoulder, emotions high, never doing this before.
âI know, baby, I know. Iâm right here, just breathe.â He says. You two laying in silence for an unclear amount of time, him rubbing your back while you rest in his chest almost dozing off.
âAre we stillâŚfriends?â You croak out trying to hold back your sobs already knowing the answer that you two were defiantly not friends now and never would be just friends again.
âFriends donât do this type of shitâ He maintained grabbing your shoulders to sit you and him up. You were worried, did he only do this with you because he was drunk? You were anxious that you scared him away because you just poured your heart out to him and pushed yourself on him. You left your head down, tears already coming out to your dismay. You moved your hand up to wipe them but he beat you to it.
âLook at me⌠I love you.â He says holding your cheeks in his palm. You in awe, hoping that you werenât imagining it, that this was real life.
âR-reallyâ You question making him worry too, preferring to forgive and forget rather than letting this a divide between the two of you in case you went back on your feelings. You were so overwhelmed, never feeling love until this moment, so happy that the person you longed for liked you back. Yours tears running once again.
 âShh, shh, itâs alright...Donât cry.â
You donât even know why you were crying, the hangover already getting to you making you get a headache. You groaning in his arms complaining that your head and throat hurt.
âIll be backâ he says detaching himself from you, letting you know he was coming right back.
He walks to your fridge opening it to see every drink but water, having too dig through all of them, especially the absurd amount of apple juice guessing it was your âonce a year craving for itâ. He finally got you some cold water, putting It in a cup and waked back to your room.
 âIsseiâ you whined not picking your head up from the pillow.
 âShh baby im right here.â
 He sat down beside you on your bed lifting your head up. âHere drink thisâ he reassured, to which you ignored not wanting anything to go in your mouth, just wanting the day, or night as it was now, to end.
 âItâs just water, honey, look.â You sat yourself up with his help seeing him in just his boxers, you remembering your still naked, not caring enough to cover yourself. He held to glass to your mouth, babying you, tilting it far back enough to where you could drink it. The water hit the back of your mouth feeling like a shot making you cough.
âI know, it hurts. Iâm sorry but we have toâ He stated. You continued to drink it, feeling the stinging in the back of your throat, him comforting you, calling you âgood girlâ which was unsurprisingly working.
 He put the cup on your dresser when you finished, climbing back into bed with you leaning your body into his. âHave you ever thought about...us? Yâknow, as an...item?â he said causing you to look at him with wide eyes.
 âCall me selfish, but I donât ever want anyone else to touch you.â He insisted making you cheeks flush. You try to think of a way to respond, not wanting to keep him waiting.
âYouâre the best thing that has, and ever will, happen to me. Not only am I deeply in love with you, youâre my best friend.â You stammer out, your shaky hands somehow made there way to his neck, letting them fall slowly before he grabs them dragging you in for a kiss before you got to even see his face.
âEverybody has always thought weâre a couple.â He continued taking his time kissing you all over your face. âThen I guess we should be.â You retort, kissing him back before you could see his reaction, not wanted to be embarrassed anymore today. But he caught you, holding you still âReally ây/n? Like deadass?â He asked.
 âYes dummy, I want to be your girlfriendâ You say causing him to grin swearing youâve never seen him smile that big, before he gives you one last kiss.
 âI always kiss you on the cheek, why are you blushing now? He teases laying back down, you following along. You just snuggle into him mumbling something along the lines of âmâtiredâ, he understanding and speaking to you in a soft, gentle voice while helping you to bed, so he doesnât make it harder for you to sleep by being loud. âIâm here love, Iâm not going anywhere.â He whispers into your ear mkanig your heart swoon one last time before you pass out.
 âI l-love you issei.â You sleepily mumble.
âTell me this when youâre sober.â He says stroking your head.
âJust relax, close your eyes...âHe murmurs, your heart beating slower every second. Both of you together, lazy, slow presses. Limbs pressed together, chests heaving, fingers trailing down backs, tracing lazy patterns.
 âOh!âŚâ He remembers. âIf you really wanna get them pierced, we could get matching ones.â

Draw your swords, pt. 13
Summary: Terrified of losing Y/N, the Darkling lets his defenses fall.
Warnings: angst, slight fluff, sexual content
Part one // Part two // Part three // Part four // Part five // Part six // Part seven // Part eight // Part nine // Part ten // Part eleven // Part twelve Â
=================================
âStay with meâ, the Darkling trembled as he rushed back to the camp. He held her body close to his chest, her head slumped right where his heart beats thunderstorms in her name.
Sheâs slipping away, he can feel it. The injuries she suffered and the power she used weakened her irreversibly.
He should be angry with her, enraged, but he had no strength to spare for violent emotions. His heart couldnât bare much more than the pain he found himself drowning in. It wasnât the pain of his own wounds, rather the pain of her parted lips and ragged breaths that came like final gushes of air her lungs released.
âHEALER!â He shouted, hoping, praying to the Saints he never believed in before.
âHEALER!â There was something in his screams for help, an unimaginable pain behind it.
Y/Nâs fingers twitched, her chest rising in a strange manner; what should expand with an inhale suddenly draws in, a paradox he had seen in dying soldiers.
âHEALER!â It was the kind of scream that went straight for the heart.
Everyone tensed, following the Darkling â a man who never showed genuine emotion other than rage. His call for healers felt like a cry from the heart and soul that stretched across the foundations of who he is. The anguish tore through him as he saw a healer run toward him.
Letting out a shuddered breath in relief, he collapsed to his knees. âNot me!â He growled as the healer tried placing her hands on him, âHelp her! Save my wife!â
Nodding, the healer looked down at Y/N with wide eyes. Another healer arrived too, then another, and another.
The Darkling refused to let her out of his embrace as two of the healers tried to take her away. âNo!â
âWe have to take herâ, the first healer insisted. âShe doesnât have long and we have to act fast and thatâs not going to happen while youâre clinging to her!â Eyes wide, she covers her mouth as it dawns on her who sheâs speaking to. âRespectfully, General.â
Staring at her with raw suffering, Aleksander licked his trembling lips. He closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her. Leaning in, he pressed a kiss to her temple instead of her forehead â forehead kisses in this moment would feel as if heâs kissing her corpse before her final rest.Â
He couldnât stomach that thought.
âIf you die, Iâll never forgive youâ, he whispers.Â
This isnât how itâs meant to be, how itâs supposed to be. He could never believe anyone ever loved anyone the way he loves her.
Nothing ever made him so frightened as the thought of losing her.
âTake herâ, Mal tells them. Looking down at Kirigan who seemed incapable of standing back up on his own, he realized he had to take over.. âAnd send someone for your General. Send everyone for the wounded in the field.â
Aleksander looked up, jaw clenched and eyes swimming in tears he has yet to shed.
âIâm not leavingâ, Mal quipped. âSheâs my General.â
Y/N wasnât able to scream, despite the pain darkening her mind. She tried to focus on her breathing, on staying alive. The only awareness she had was of Aleksanderâs arms around her â she felt his scent. When he touched her face, when he tried to gain her attention, she couldnât open her eyes. Her ears kept ringing, mixing with a rumbling inside his chest. She managed to blink her eyes open once, just one more time to see him, but all she managed to get was a glimpse of his chin and beard.
She wondered how heâd look without it, if it would make him seem boyish, softer. Maybe it would have erased the burden on his shoulders - they may be wide, but they shouldnât have to carry all that weight alone.
Suddenly, his scent was gone. She tried to reach for him, but her arms could not move, hanging freely instead. Cold seeped in, clinging to her insides, wrapping itself around her heart.
Slowly, her agony had faded. The pain gradually lifted, dissipating like fog. For a moment, she wondered if this is what death feels like â no more pain? No more suffering? Being alone and cold?
Despite everything, if she had a choice, sheâd embrace the pain. If pain means she would return to him, to his warm arms, sheâd gladly suffer.
Dizzy, confused, she felt herself being pulled up into reality. The disjointed haze receded enough for her to make sense of the world around her. Her eyelids feel heavy as she opens her eyes, the edges of her vision flickering. Blinking fast, her eyebrows knitted as her vision blurred.
âAleksanderâ, she wanted to call, but couldnât say a word.Â
How odd it is that heâs the last one she thought about when she thought sheâd die and heâs still the first one to come to mind when she wakes?Â
She no longer felt cold. He always had the ability to keep the cold away.
Sniffling, she jerked her hands away as she became aware of anotherâs touch. Sitting up on a table she was laid upon, she pulled herself aside before looking to the one who touched her earlier.
âItâs just meâ, he raised his hands in mock surrender. âI needed to see you.â His voice is soft, sweet like honey.
Scoffing, she narrows her eyes at him and the cup of water he held out for her to take. Her mouth is dry, her throat like sandpaper. She may be angry with him, but the water he held out felt more important than their fight.
âAre you in any pain?â He asks, watching her drink all of the water in one go. âI could have them come and take it away.â
Letting out a loud sigh, she wipes her mouth with the back of her hand. Raising an eyebrow, she licked her dry lips.
âCan they take you away?â
Snorting, he suppresses a smile. As long as sheâs capable of annoying him, sheâs going to be fine.
âWhat were you thinking?â Threading his fingers through his hair, Aleksander frowned. âYou could have died.â
âWould have saved you a lot of trouble in the futureâ, she quips. Standing, she stumbles.
Feeling his hands on her waist, Y/N felt her heart skip a beat. Even now, when sheâd like nothing more than to walk away, her body reacts to him. Looking up at him, she inhales sharply as she sees the tears in his eyes.
âIâm scaredâ, he admitted and she blinked.
âOf what?â She frowned, âMe?â Does her power frighten him? Because it frightens her.
He shook his head, âOf meâ, he looked at her. His hands trembled as they touched her skin, âIâm scared of hurting you.â
âIâm scared of you hurting me, too.â
Dropping his hand, he takes a step back. âI donât think Iâm capable of ever hurting you.â
âTell that to my neckâ, she remarks. Her hand brushes over where his hand had tightened its grip just the night before, fixing his gaze on him. He seemed to regret it.
âGoodâ, she thought. âI hope it haunts him, because it will haunt me.â
âI apologizeâ, Aleksander swallows thickly. He canât remember the last time he apologized to someone. A part of him questioned if he ever apologized for anything heâs done in his unusually long life. âI had no right to act the way I did.â
âYou once told me I could choose the way to punish you if you ever hurt meâ, she takes his hand, intertwining their fingers.
Aleksander nods, âIâm a man of my word.â
âWhatâs your nameâ, she asks. âReal name.â
His eyes locked on hers like magnets of different polarities. Isnât that exactly what they are? Sheâs his polar opposite in every way, fated to attract.
âAleksander Morozova.â He uttered a name long forgotten; a name he wanted to forget.Â
Aleksander was a weak boy who failed everyone that cared for him. He was soft, young, naĂŻve and a damned fool for ever believing Grisha would ever be free. Even now as he elevated their status, Grisha had to serve a human â the Tsar.
Her eyes held barely contained anger. As her hands clasped, a few stray flickers of light appeared on her fingertips. Unclasping her hands immediately, she raised her chin up. âI want to know everything. Tell me your story.â
âAnd when will I hear yours?â Darkling demanded, swiping his thumb under his lower lip.
âYou seem to mistake this for negotiationsâ, she maintained eye contact defiantly. âLast night you told me to either go back to the Palace or to cross the fold and return to my father. Itâs a choice that would easily mean I can choose to stay with you or leave and never look back.â
Placing a hand on his chest, Y/N smirked. âYou can either tell me the whole truth or watch me leave.â She spoke through gritted teeth, âDonât push me unless youâre willing to lose.âÂ
Cupping his left cheek, she allowed a luminescent glow cast a light on his handsome features. She was angry, so angry and tired and her own power often terrified her. For once, she wanted to use it for her own benefit rather than hide it.
âWhat good will it do?â Aleksanderâs bottom lip quivers as her light illuminates tears collecting in his dark eyes. âYouâll hate me as they all do. Even my mother saw me as a monster.â
âIâve seen what you really are. And I never turned awayâŚwhat makes you think I will now?â
She felt his jaw clench under the palm of her hand as he swallowed thickly, âYou would if you could see my heart, all of it.â
Exhaling through her nose, she shook her head. Her eyes soften, her lips parting. How could she ever be indifferent to his suffering? She wished she could be colder, to leave him in tears and not look back. Hearing his words, his belief that heâs unlovable tugged at her heartstrings.Â
"Have you no faith in me?"
In a fight, theyâre lethal, but around each other their armor is gone.
âIâve waited for you for centuries. I dreamed about you for hundreds of years before I ever saw your face. I longed for you, missed you, died and lived for you.â Taking her face in his hands, Aleksander bends. His forehead meets hers as his nose brushes against the tip of hers.
âEver since I laid eyes on you, my dreams have been clearer, focused on you. And in my dreams I am kissing your mouth and youâre whispering âwhere have you beenââ, his eyes overflow with tears as he continues with a fractured smile. âI say, âIâve been lost, but Iâm here nowâ.âÂ
Swallowing thickly, he felt as if his heart was breaking. âYouâre the only person who has ever been able to find the real me. You saw me underneath all the darkness.â Reaching for her hand, his fingers tremble. âI was waiting for you without knowing it. Iâll make up for all the mistakes, for all the years I was supposed to be kissing you.â
âSo why is it so hard for you to be honest with me?â She whispers, her hands trembling as they hold onto his shoulders.
His frown deepens, âWhy werenât you honest with me?â
âYou once joked and said Iâm no Inferniâ, she shrugged. âYou were right about that. My mother was. Father never knew about either of us. Your turn.â
âI was honestâ, he sighs. Stepping back, he frowns. âI told you my name, I answered your questions about the black heretic.â
Reaching for him, she felt her heartache intensify once his tears began to flow freely across his cheeks.
âDonâtâ, he recoiled from her touch. She wrapped her arms around her own waist, hurt by the rejection.Â
âItâs not easy for me to talk about my past. Itâs as if Iâm cutting myself open, letting the ugliness spill out. Itâs not painless.â Swallowing thickly, Darklingâs eyes widen as he tries to hold back more tears from escaping him. âIt would have been simpler to close myself off and find an unremarkable lover whoâd never dare defy me, but I keep taking the risk because I want to be with you and I hope that one day you will feel the same way about me.â
âI wantâ, she stopped, tucking her hair behind her ears.Â
His voice was quieter, âWhat do you want? Iâll give you everything.â
âI donât knowâ, she replied honestly. âIâm hurt, Aleks. You hurt me after you promised to protect me.â
Running a hand across his face, wiping his tears away. He averts his gaze. Watching her break because of him deepens the cracks in his poorly stapled, bleeding heart.
âWhat do you wantâ, she looked to him with a weight in her chest. How can loving someone hurt so badly even when the love is reciprocated?
âNever mind what I wantâ, he turned away. Facing her now would have chipped away at his fragile sanity, so he did what a coward would â he hid.
âYou asked what I wantâ, she placed her hands on her hips. âI want to know what you want.â
Shaking his head, he let out a breathless chuckle. âYouâ, he smiled. âIâll always want you.â
Closing the distance between them, she closed her arms around his neck. Before she could reach for him, he gripped her by her thighs and lifted her effortlessly. Wrapping her legs around his waist on instinct, she got lost in the rush of blood to her head when he pinned her against the table behind her. He paused, searching her eyes.Â
Whatever he was looking for, she hoped he found it.
âI donât own youâ, his eyes flicker to her lips as she sinks her front teeth into the soft flesh of her bottom lip. âI never did. Human or Grisha, you always owned me. I was just too blind to see it.â
Brushing his lips against hers, Aleksander smiled in resignation. His eyes are so different in moments like these, softer than she ever imagined eyes could be.
âYour silver tongue wonât get you farâ, she struggled to keep her eyes open with his lips a whisper away. âBut youâre free to try.â
She felt his burning gaze, finding it hard to concentrate on much besides breathing. He observed her, capturing her soft, naturally charming and appealing nature. Sheâs genuine and sweet, the reason why everyoneâs head turns when she walks into the room.
How did he not realize it before?
Sheâs the sun.
She always was.Â
He always did squint angrily at her like he does with the fireball in the sky.
Y/Nâs hands ran up and down his chest as her lips claimed his - passionately, roughly, determinedly. Without a word, she started to unbutton his kefta, her cold fingertips brushing his warm skin - until she lost patience and ripped the bottom part wide open, pressing her palm against his chest as he broke the kiss.
âAre you sure?â He raised his eyebrows in concern.
âIâll be mad at you tomorrow. Kiss meâ, she ordered, drawing a smile on his lips as she pulled him closer, her lips reattaching to his, her teeth sinking into his lower one.
Pushing him onto the floor, she didnât waste time. Her bottoms were down so quickly he hardly had time to take a proper breath before she unfastened his pants too.
Heaving, Aleksander could hardly get enough of the view on top of him - her beautiful mouth opening in pleasure every time she sunk down on him, her eyes rolling back into her head, her hands placed over his chest to keep herself steady. She speeds up, prompting his loud, uninhibited moans that drew an honest smile upon her lips. He trusted up and into her as his high hit fully, taking her by surprise. She gasped, his thrust giving her an unexpected release as she clenched around him.
Gasping for breath, she laid on top of him. Y/N was very aware of his arm around her as it pulled her close, his hand on her hip, giving it a light squeeze. He leaned into her, his lips pressing a tender kiss to her temple, making her tingle with anticipation of something more - something she shouldnât think about after their argument.
How can she trust his change of heart has nothing to do with the fact sheâs the Sun Summoner? How can she ever trust him at all?
Clearing her throat, she pulled herself off Aleksander. âPut something on, someone might come inâ, she told him as she secured her pants back on. She could hardly look at him, afraid heâd weaken her resolve. She couldnât forgive him so easily, even if her heart ached for him.
âLet me inâ, a voice from outside the tent made Y/N look to the entrance with a frown.
She crossed the distance swiftly, her hands ready in case she had to use her sword. She goes to place her hand on the hilt only to find her sword is not on her.
Itâs a good thing thatâs not her only weapon.
âHey!â She shouts at the Grisha as they pulled someone away. âStop!â
âGeneral?!â Mal laughs as he manages to look back at her, fighting against the Grisha.
âMal?â She chuckles, glad to see heâs still alive.Â
âLeave him alone!â She orders, feeling a presence behind her. She didnât need to look to know itâs Aleksander. Unfortunately for him, she wasnât in the mood for anymore talking.
âYouâre alive?!â Mal goes in for the hug, but his eyes catch a glimpse of Kiriganâs glare and he slowly backs away. âWe need to regroup.â
âHow many have we lost?â She frowns.
âYouâre Grisha nowâ, Aleksander speaks up. âYou donât have to fight for the humans.â
Glancing over her shoulder, she scoffs at him. How could he even think sheâd give up on her people now?Â
âThatâs not something Iâd like. I enjoy my humanity.â
She was the flame who lit his life on fire and while he was burning, he wanted to thank her for it and ask her to stay a while longer. Darkling nearly chuckled at the thought of calling her fire, but she is and he craves the burn.
The Darkling wanted Y/N to be the one addicted to him, in equal measure as he was addicted to her. He wanted to give her a reason to stay with him, if not for love, then for lust. Heâd find a way to her heart in the meantime and knowing theyâll have a forever comforts him, but he needed to have her in every other way until then.
He knew he could make her truly happy if sheâd let him and he wasnât about to let her go.
Not without a fight.
Watching her walk away with the soldier, he clicked his tongue. Mal, whoever he is, poses a threat he needs to handle.
Swiftly.

Same universe as the one where LXC kills JGY on a boat to not-Japan. JRS-centric as he grows up in the Nie clan and deals with his reputation as an inbred son of a traitorous bastard.
so I don't think I've ever written a fic in which LXC kills JGY on a boat, and definitely not one where JRS is a character? I mean, I've written a lot of fics, so possibly I did and I forgot, but I'm pretty sure about this one.
That being said, I don't think I've gotten any Jin Rusong prompts before so I'm reinterpreting this to be a prompt for a fic about JRS growing up in the Nie clan. Fic below!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, Nie Huaisang reminded himself. Risk is proportionate with reward. Your spine should be made of steel, just as your saber is.
He licked his lips, thought of his brother who had loved him, and threw himself forward with tears in his eyes.
âOh, gongzi!â he blubbered. âCan you help me? Iâve gotten completelylost, I donât even know where to begin ââ
Xue Yang blinked at him, the lids of his eyes moving slowly like a reptile.
âMaybe you know where my san-ge is? Lianfeng-zun?â
The feeling of immediate threat lessened. It seemed heâd gambled right, and the rabid dog that was Xue Yang could still be controlled by reference to Jin Guangyao.
âIâd really appreciate it if you could just give me some guidance on where to find him,â Nie Huaisang said, lowering his voice confidentially. âIâd be sure to pay you back! If thereâs anything you want ââ
âDo you have any snacks?â Xue Yang asked.
Nie Huaisang, who had come prepared based on the rumors heâd painstakingly collected, produced some dragonsâ beard candy.
âNot bad,â Xue Yang said. âOkay, sure.â
Nie Huaisang smiled, and even meant it.
-
âHey, good-for-nothing,â Xue Yang said, and Nie Huaisang turned to look at his least favorite but nevertheless highly useful source of information in Lanling Jin. The fact that Xue Yang had no idea that he was functioning as such just made it more satisfactory. âYou like kids, right?â
Nie Huaisang blinked. âYes?â he hazarded, not so much because he actually did â heâd never had strong feelings about children one way or the other, though perhaps he was being presumptuous in thinking that the reference did not involve goats â but because that seemed to be the answer Xue Yang was looking for.
Xue Yang wrinkled his nose in distaste, though not, Nie Huaisang thought, at him.
âTheoretically,â he said, and he wouldnât know âtheoreticalâ if it hit him in the face, âif there were, I donât know, a whole bunch of them hanging around somewhere without parents, youâd be able to do something about that, right? Especially if they had a talent for cultivation?â
It took only a moment to piece together what must have happened to lead to such a question, given the ruthlessness of the cultivation world and of Jin Guangyao in particular, and Nie Huaisang marveled briefly at the idea that Xue Yang might draw a moral line in the sand over something. Presumably he felt some kinship to the children, being similarly utterly infantile, amoral, and fond of sweet things.
âOh sure!â he said, playing up the brainless idiot who didnât know to ask questions. âMy sect is always recruiting, you know. We took some losses in the war and, well, I feel like adult cultivators arenât really all that interestedin joining ever since I took overâŚâ
âBecause youâre a waste of space,â Xue Yang said, and Nie Huaisang pouted at him. âWhatever, the important thing is that you have space for kids. Orphans. Think, like, a whole orphanage getting shut down or whatever â anyway, not important. Youâd take them back to Qinghe, right?â
âOh, that would be so wonderful!â Nie Huaisang clapped. âThat would suit everyone, wouldnât it? They donât have to worry about the children, and we get new disciples. I should tell san-ge â no, on second thought, he might be too busy ââ
âDefinitely too busy,â Xue Yang said quickly. âWouldnât it be nice to accomplish something yourself? You could casually show him that your numbers went up at the end of the month instead so he gives you the credit, without explaining that itâs kids making up the increase.â
âThatâs a great idea! Heâll be much more impressed by that, I should definitely do that. Where is the orphanage?â
ââŚuh, in the forest. The back forest.â
You couldnât come up with a better lie?
âYou already brought them here?â Nie Huaisang asked, batting his eyelashes. âYouâre so nice, Xue-xiong! Iâll go tell my second in command to go deal with it right away!â
-
It was in the fifth round of kids getting picked up â small cultivation clans being massacred and there was nothing Nie Huaisang could do about it, because there was either no evidence or else Jin Guangyao had come up with some motive to justify his actions and, inevitably, Lan Xichen would be there behind him, soothing over tempers and providing explanations because he believed him, every time â that something unusual happened.
âSect Leader Nie,â one of his most trusted subordinates murmured into his ear. âThereâs a problem.â
Nie Huaisang found a reason to leave the party early, a reason to go to the rendezvous point, and, once there, found the reason for the problem.
âOh, hey there,â he said with a smile fixed onto his face by sheer force of willpower, crouching down to make himself seem less intimidating. Not that he was ever particularly intimidating, though given the rage coursing through his veins right now, he thought he might be able to pull it off if he tried. âWhat a lucky chance! Itâs so funny, finding you here, Songsong. How are you?â
Jin Rusong wiped his eyes and looked tearily at him, recognized that the person asking was his Little Uncle Nie, and threw himself into Nie Huaisangâs arms with a howl.
This was pretty typical â Jin Rusong wasnât much of a crier, but when he did he definitely took Nie Huaisang as his model, something all the other adults in the cultivation world had a tendency to give Nie Huaisang dirty looks over.
The only problem here, of course, was that Jin Rusong was dead.
Or, ratherâŚhe was supposed to be dead.
And if Jin Rusong was here â here, in the rendezvous point where Xue Yang put those of his prospective victims that happened to be a little too young for even him to stomach killing, at least without the personal grudge that had driven him to slaughter the Chang clan in its entirety â that meant only one thing.
Jin Guangyao had ordered his own son to be murdered.
Through demonic cultivation, no less, which was a pretty nasty way to go. There was a reason everyone implicitly countenanced Jiang Chengâs vendetta against demonic cultivators no matter where they were, even when he ignored all territory lines and forgot to not ask for permission â the things a demonic cultivator gone bad could do were just so much worse than what anyone else could that they couldnât risk any delay in dealing with the problem.
Well, shit, Nie Huaisang thought, even as he comforted Jin Rusong, petting the toddlerâs back to try to get him to calm down. What do I do now?
-
âThere has to be a reason,â Nie Huaisang insisted. âHeâs not rabid. Songsong was his son!â
âSect Leader Nie, we canât find anything that might explain it.â
âLook harder. I donât care how minor it is, I want to know everythingto do with Songsong. Every little detail â every person who saw him â every medical report, every compliment, every good grade ââ
âHe placed last in one of his classes,â one of his spies volunteered.
âWhat?â
âHe placed last in one of his classes. About two months before his âassassinationâ, and shortly before his father started collecting evidence against the other sects that were in his way, which he later used to âproveâ that they had been involved in the alleged murder.â
âHe wouldnât kill his son for failing a class,â one of the others objected. âThe kidâs barely more than a baby. Whatâs he expecting, genius from birth?â
âHeâs a genius himself. Why not?â
âIf everyone inherited everything directly from their parents, heâd be a whore.â
âHeâd be a Jin. Theyâve all got that nose, every one of themâŚâ
âI heard heâs having the other Jin bastards killed. All of them, even the womenâŚâ
Something snapped in Nie Huaisangâs hands.
They all turned to look at him.
âInvestigate Qin Su,â he said, looking down at the mess of wood and paper that had once been a fan. âCome to think of it, she has a Jin nose, too.â
-
âI donât want to go!â
âI donât want you to go, either,â Nie Huaisang said, feeling tired and also much more in sympathy with his poor older brother than heâd ever been while Nie Mingjue had been alive. âBut you disobeyed me, and that means we donât have a choice. You have to go.â
Nie Songsong looked down at the ground, his lip quivering. âI didnât mean toâŚâ
âYou did,â Nie Huaisang said. âYou have to own your decisions, Songsong. You canât take them back once theyâre done, no matter what the consequences. Not even if you feel bad, but definitely not because you feel bad for having to pay for what you did.â
âButâŚâ
âNo, Songsong. You cannot be in the Unclean Realm when â when heâs here.â
Nie Songsong hung his head.
âHeâs not your father anymore,â Nie Huaisang said. âYou know that, right?â
Nie Songsong nodded.
Nie Huaisang sighed and held out his hands, and his arms were full of a teary-eyed child a moment later.
âHe loved you once,â Nie Huaisang murmured into his childâs hair. âI love you now. I wish I could give you more than that â I wish I could give you an answer, tell you why he didnât love you enough to keep from doing what he did. But I canât. All I can doâŚâ
Is what Iâm already doing.
âYouâre enough, er-ge,â Nie Songsong whispered back. âYouâre enough. I promise.â
-
âWhen will I get to go night-hunting?â
âYou go night-hunting all the time,â Nie Huaisang grumbled. âYouâre a fraction my age, and already my height, my weight, yet you wield a saber like my brother was around to raise you properly. Youâre ruining my reputation, you know; now no one will believe that my incompetence comes from how short I amâŚâ
âNot night-hunting with the rest of the sect, er-ge,â Nie Songsong said, rolling his eyes. âWith other juniors!â
âNot long now,â Nie Huaisang said, looking down at the paper beneath his hands. It was all finally coming together. âNot long now. Just give er-ge a little more time to finish taking care of matters for da-ge, and youâll be able to go night-hunting with anyone you like.â
-
âEr-ge! Are you all right? You look so paleâŚâ
âIâm sorry,â Nie Huaisang whispered. âSongsong â Iâm sorry. Iâm so sorry ââ
âWhat happened? Are you injured?â Nie Songsong demanded, already starting to pat him over, looking for wounds. âEr-ge, whatâs wrong ââ
âYour motherâs dead.â
Nie Songsongâs hands stilled.
âI told her about your heritage,â Nie Huaisang said, his lips numb. Heâd never tried to hide it from Nie Songsong, although heâd introduced the subject very gradually and only once he thought that heâd be able to handle the revelation. âAbout your father â your grandfather. What they did. I wanted her to be angry at him, to turn against him, to distract himâŚinstead, she killed herself.â
âEr-geâŚâ
âI shouldnât have told her. If I knew ââ
âEr-ge.â
âI should have brought her in earlier â told her about you surviving â I kept her from you for years ââ
âEr-ge!â
Nie Huaisang looked at the child he had raised as a little brother the way his older brother had raised him, a father in everything but name, and who he had the constant feeling of having failed.
He wondered, as he always did, whether his brother had felt the same about him.
âEr-ge, itâs all right,â his little brother, his adopted son, said, and took his hands in his. âItâs all right. You tried, remember? Time after time, you tried to talk to her, but every single time you concluded that she wouldâve told her husband instead of trusting you. She wouldâve ruined everything. If she did that, Iâd be dead all over again, and you with me.â
That had been what Nie Huaisang had concluded. That was why heâd never told her.
ButâŚ
âSheâs your mother.â
âAnd youâre my er-ge. As long as you donât die on me, too, itâll be all right. Okay? Itâll be all right. Itâll be worth it in the end.â
Nie Huaisang shook his head. Heâd already done so much, caused so much chaos and strife, and yet this moment â this was the step too far.
This was the first time he realized that he wasnât sure he believed that it would be worth it anymore.
But by nowâŚwhat else was left to do? There were no ways out of the plan heâd made himself; heâd designed it that way on purpose, because heâd known that if there was a way out, that snake would find a way to slither through it. He just hadnât thought that he would be the one looking for it.
It didnât matter.
He had to keep going.
His older brother deserved it, even if the younger one didnât.
-
âI represent the Nie sect,â the young man â just about their age, though shorter than either of them â said with a smile. He seemed kind, gentle and polite, easy-going, but Lan Jingyi and Lan Sizhui looked at each other, and then at Jin Ling, who just scowled. âCan I come in?â
âWere you even invited?â Jin Ling asked in bitten off words. He was still bitter about some of the things that had happened in the Guayin Temple a month before, and of all them the one he was most bitter about was his second uncleâs retreat into seclusion â they were all upset about that.
âBut itâs a discussion conference,â the young man said, blinking in confusion. âWeâre a Great Sect. Why wouldnât we be invited?â
In the face of such profound ignorance, there really wasnât very much they could say, and eventually Lan Sizhui stepped forward with a smile, welcoming the young man â Nie Songsong, he introduced himself â into the Cloud Recesses.
Everything seemed fine for a little while. Lan Sizhui was able to talk to the people in charge of arranging juniors into finding another place for Nie Songsong to stay, although it would be a little delayed â Nie Songsong assured them that there was no issue â and as recompense they even showed him, at his request, a few of the main landmarks.
And then they turned around and their guest had disappeared.
âI knew he was up to no good!â Jin Ling exclaimed.
âDonât jump to conclusions,â Lan Sizhui told him.
âIâm with Jin Ling,â Lan Jingyi said. âHe seemed so nice and understated â just like you know ââ
âDonât talk about my little uncle,â Jin Ling hissed at him. âI know itâs true, but just â donât, okay?â
âWe should find where he went,â Lan Sizhui decided.
It took them a while, but in the end they found him in the most unexpected place: in the rooms their sect leader had chosen for his seclusion, sitting on the bed with Lan Xichenâs head on his shoulder, sobbing as if his heart had been broken.
âWhat are you doing?â Lan Sizhui exclaimed, unnerved even out of his own habitual politeness.
âI came to greet my uncle,â Nie Songsong said, his manner just as gentle and polite as it had been from the beginning, although it was now evident that he was as stubborn as a rock and not easy-going at all.
âYour uncle?â Lan Jingyi gaped. âHow can he be your uncle?â
âYouâre Sect Leader Nieâs son!â Jin Ling accused.
âIâm Sect Leader Nieâs little brother by adoption,â Nie Songsong corrected. âItâs through my father that heâs my uncle â and you my cousin, I suppose.â
âYour â father?â
âOh, yes. My birth name, you see,â Nie Songsong said, âwas Jin Rusong.â
-
âWhy did you choose to reveal yourself?â Lan Sizhui asked. âGiven that everyone knows â well ââ
Nie Songsong finished the character he was writing and put down his brush. âWondering if you should let it be known that you were born with the surname Wen?â
Lan Sizhui jerked in surprise, then flushed. âHow did you â that didnât come out in Guanyin Temple.â
âNo, I knew it before,â Nie Songsong said. âMy er-ge is very clever, you know.â
âYes, I suppose I do...why do you call him brother? Shouldnât he be uncle, or â or ââ
âUncle is probably right,â Nie Songsong said. âBut he raised me like a son, just as his brother did for him.â
Lan Sizhui looked down at his hands.
âWhy did he publicly reveal your background, knowing that you were still around?â he asked again. âEveryone will know. Who your father was, all those terrible things he did, his relationship with your mother ââ
âWhy shouldnât he? He did do all those things, and he did have that relationship with my mother.â
âBut what about you? What about your reputation ââ
âAre you planning on sweeping Wen Ruohanâs grave?â
Lan Sizhui stared at him.
âHeâs your grandfather, isnât he?â Nie Songsong looked calmly back at him. âWho he was, all those terrible things he did ââ
âThatâs nothing to do with me!â
âAnd the crimes of my father are nothing to do with me. My er-ge gave me his surname, just as Hanguang-jun gave you his, and for the same reason â to cut us off from the sins of our original family.â
âI suppose thatâs true. But â no one knew about you, just as no one knew about me until I told them, and I only told them because they were my friends. Whyâd you tell us? Arenât you worried weâd tell more people?â
âOf course I am,â Nie Songsong said. âI hope you donât, of course, but you wouldâve found out regardless â second uncle wasnât exactly subtle in his grief. And I had to tell him.â
âWhy? To bring him out of seclusion?â Lan Sizhui hesitated. âDo you care so much for him?â
âOf course not. The last time I met him, I was a small child, and my father was just about to order me murdered; thatâs not much of a basis to build a relationship. But having him lock himself away like that, as if he were in mourningâŚit hurt er-ge. And I wonât let anything hurt my er-ge. Anything, or anyone.â
They looked at each other for a long moment.
âI understand,â Lan Sizhui said.
âIâm glad you do,â Nie Songsong said, and then smiled. âI wouldâve had to escalate to threats next, and Iâm given to understand that Iâm too short to really pull them off properly.â
Lan Sizhui snorted. âI think weâve all learned that thatâsnot true.â
-
âShould we talk about this?â Jin Ling asked, arms crossed over his chest and glaring.
âWhat do you want to talk about?â Nie Songsong replied.
âHow about the fact that your father tried to kill me?â
âSure. Can we talk about the fact that you got all of his affection for years and years after he tried to kill me?â
Jin Ling blanched.
âI wonder if he wouldâve gotten me a dog, too,â Nie Songsong mused. âI was too young for that when he ordered his demonic cultivator to feed me to fierce corpses and have my body ravaged until it was barely recognizableâŚbut sure, letâs talk about how he tried to kill you.â
âI was talking about Sect Leader Nie!â
âWell, then, you should have been more specific. Sect Leader Nieâs my brother, not my father.â
âHeâs a whole generation older than you!â
âMy little uncle, then.â
Jin Ling flinched. âThatâs worse. Go back to calling him your brother.â
Nie Songsong shrugged. âWould it help if we fought?â
ââŚwhat?â
âIt makes me feel better, sometimes. Besides, I may be short, but Iâm pretty good with the saber. I bet I could match your swordâŚmaybe not your arrows. But Iâve always wanted to try.â
Jin Ling looked at him suspiciously for a long moment.
âOkay,â he finally said. âSure. Why not?â
-
âI really hate that youâre kind of cool,â Lan Jingyi told him.
âI am so cool,â Nie Songsong said, and passed him another jar of wine. âWant to see my spring book collection?â
ââŚyes please.â
-
âThank you for taking care of him,â Lan Xichen said to Nie Huaisang, who shrugged. âIâm sorry that you couldnât trust me to help.â
âItâs only what I should have done,â Nie Huaisang said, not for the first time. Heâd said it so often these past few days that it felt like a new refrain, an alternative to the old I donât know, I donât know, I donât know. He preferred the original. âI was his little uncle, remember? I held him on his first month party. How could I do any less?â
He did not say that Lan Xichen, who could be classified as Jin Rusongâs older uncle, had done much less, but from Lan Xichenâs expression, heâd taken it that way anyway.
âYou neverâŚâ Lan Xichen hesitated. âDid you ever have any â concerns?â
âThat heâd turn out an idiot? No. I figured heâd be in good company, with me.â
âThatâs not what I meant!â
âOh, you meant whether I was worried that heâd grow up longing for his blood family over his adopted family and turn against me in favor of his real father?â Nie Huaisang asked mildly. âNo, not really. The memory of your father ordering you to be mauled by fierce corpses and to make sure your face is destroyed so that thereâs a reason to refuse to let your mother see the body, as it would only upset her, is a fairly effective panacea against things like that.â
âNo,â Lan Xichen said, though he looked sick all over again at the reminder of how considerate Jin Guangyao could be when it came to those he thought of as people, and how monstrous he was towards those he didnât. âNo, just â your brother always took such a hard line against the Wen sectâŚâ
âBecause they were raised with the philosophy that they were superior to the rest of us and my brother purposefully made himself into the symbol of their fallibility, thereby making himself and all the rest of us the primary target for their traumatic realization that theyâre just as weak and vulnerable as everyone else,â Nie Huaisang said, rolling his eyes. âOur Nie sect cultivators were always especially targeted whenever we were captured â our survival rate as prisoners of war was less than half all the other sects, and it wasnât just because we were usually more injured when we got caught. Even the civilians surnamed Wen would pull out knives and try to stab us in the back if they had half a chance! We were in a blood feud with them, er-ge. You donât put down blood feuds just like that, not even if you want to. Thatâs not how it works.â
Lan Xichen nodded slowly, thoughtful.
âAnyway, Songsong is mine now,â Nie Huaisang said. âJust as Lan Sizhui is your brotherâs, and Jin Ling Jiang Chengâs. Canât we all just agree to not care about the rest?â
âI suppose we have to,â Lan Xichen said, bowing his head. âHuaisangâŚdid you ever think about what happens now? I mean â what should we do next?â
âI donât know,â Nie Huaisang said, and smiled humorlessly when Lan Xichen looked at him. âIâm not joking. I didnât know what to do when I got Songsong for the first time, er-ge, and I donât know what to do now, either. I just wanted to see justice done for my da-ge, and I did, and for the rest â I donât know.â
âThatâs fine,â Lan Xichen said. âI donât know, either.â
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, Nie Huaisang thought. Spine as steel as your saber.
âWould you like to come visit the Unclean Realm sometime?â he asked, pretending to be casual. âPerhaps we can figure out what we donât know together. If you like.â
ââŚperhaps I will,â Lan Xichen said.

Itâll Take Some Convincing
Pairing: Zeke x Reader, Levi x Reader
Rating: Explicit (18+) IF YOU'RE A MINOR CLICK THE FUCK OFF RIGHT NOW.
Warnings: Orgasm denial, Hand Jobs, Exhibitionism, Cucking, Voyeurism, Teasing, Zeke, Levi being scrumptious
Word Count: 3.3K
a/n: THERE ARE MANGA SPOILERS IN THIS! IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED DO NOT READ THIS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Ok now for the actual note, guess who's back and sharing Zeke content. Me. It's me. What better way to come back to this hell app than with the trash man himself. ANYWHOO I don't wanna toot my own horn with this one but uhhh @ever-enthralled beta read this for me and it got her to thirst for Levi so like... you know it's gonna be good folks.
Clear blue eyes follow you around the camp, watching your every movement, cultivating your attention as you gather more wood for the fire. Zekeâs slimy tongue slithers over his cracked lips, trying and failing to moisturize them as he thinks of how soft your lips would be against his.
The sway of your hips, the flex of your muscles, the way your ass jiggles when you crouch down to readjust the log for the fire is agonizing. Not because youâre painfully beautiful, which is indeed a fact, but that Zeke canât get to you, canât have his hands all over you, that is the tragedy.
The captain watches him squirm with an ever watchful eye. He canât remember the last time he blinked, but heâll be damned if he does and this monkey bastard transforms into a Titan and tries to get away. He glares at Zeke, watching the way his feet dig into the dirt, and his wrists and ankles pull against the tight binds, tied by the captain himself to ensure no means of escape. The deep seated hate festers, Erwinâs last command ever present in Leviâs mind, he grinds his teeth as he follows Zeke's gaze to you.
Zekeâs eyes are running over your body, following every curve, watching every bounce; heâs inhaling the faint floral scent thatâs always been wrapped around you like a disgusting bloodhound who's found its favorite smell. Youâre his prey, but Levi will be damned if he ever lets you get close to him.
When itâs time to serve Zeke water, Levi watches you play rock paper scissors with the other soldiers in the circle and lose before glancing dejectedly over to the disgustingly alluring captive. The other luckier soldiers gather their belongings and head to their tents for the night.
You pick up the water canteen and make your way slowly over to him. Levi watches intently, hand on his swords, ready to strike if need be. He knows he doesnât need to come to your rescue, you're a capable soldier, one of the strongest ones here in fact.
âAh, so Iâve been lucky enough to have you bless me with your presence,â Zeke says, smiling as you approach him. You roll your eyes, becoming used to the compliments he showers you with in a pathetic attempt to court you.
âWater,â you reply, bending down next to him.
âSo it is. Tell me, do you enjoy the taste of wine?â he inquires, peaking an eyebrow.
âI like to keep my mind and skills sharp in case you try anything funny so no,â you snap.
âHmm...Perfect,â he replies with a smile.
You roll your eyes again when he looks at you with big wide pleading eyes and puckers his lips toward you. You place the spout of the canteen to his lips and tilt it so he can drink. The water slides down his gullet as he drinks noisily. When you move the spout away from his lips and screw the cap back on, he licks his lips seductively and says, âI always imagine itâs your lips , when itâs time for my water breaks.â
You glare at him, try to stifle your anger at his words, but the slick comment slips from your lips before youâre able to stop it. âI wouldnât kiss you if my life depended on it,â you spit back to him. âThatâs what they all say doll, but Iâm sure the devils here on Paradis donât know anything about eating pussy. Iâm sure I could change your mind from that alone,â he says grinning at you and raising his eyebrows. Youâre shocked at the lewdness of his words, but it doesnât deter you enough from snapping back with a more biting comment. âI wouldnât let you near my pussy if humanity depended on it. Nice try though,â you say, standing and walking away from him. Youâre so infuriated you donât realize youâre about to run into the captain himself. When you look into his eyes, your cheeks grow hot and you think heâs staring at you disapprovingly. âIâm sorry Captain, I know you ordered us not to speak to him unless needed...â âWhat did he say to you?â The captain asks in a stern voice. You look away embarrassed, not wanting to repeat his disgusting words. âNothing youâd be interested in hearing sir,â you mutter. âI asked you what he said,â he replies shortly. When you stutter out Zekeâs filthy phrase, Levi turns back to him and glares. Zeke chuckles, drawing conclusions about your conversation.Â
He raises his voice, âIâm only telling the truth, Ackerman. You may be skilled in combat, but pleasuring a woman, that's where I have you beat,â he says laughing to himself.Â
You shrink away from the conversation, the crush youâve always had on the captain vibrating in your heart. A quick fantasy of his gorgeous eyes looking up at you while between your legs makes you clench your thighs together.
Levi ponders Zekeâs words, replaying them over and over as he remembers the way Zeke leaned toward you when you crouched next to him. He remembers the way Zeke licked his lips and watched your every movement, the lust drowning in his expression. Heâd even caught a glimpse of Zekeâs dick twitching in his pants as you spit your insult back at him and suddenly Levi has an idea.
âY/n, I want you to do something for me. You donât have to agree, but I have a proposition for you,â Levi says. Your eyes light up at the chance to be able to fulfill a request for him. He speaks low, out of earshot of Zeke, and explains his plan. When heâs done and you nod in agreement, you depart back to your tent as Levi comes to stand in front of Zeke.
âDonât ever look in her direction again, monkey or Iâll carve your eyes out,â he says before activating his ODM gear and ascending up into a tree to keep a lookout.
Zeke watches you enter your tent and start to remove your uniform. He can see you slowly unbutton your shirt through the little sliver left in the opening and heâs eternally grateful. He sees you look over your shoulder as you shed the fabric and catch his eye, before you wink and close the opening of the tent, shielding yourself from view.
--
The moon is overhead and Zeke has dozed off. Heâs shivering and his head lulls to the side as he breathes softly as puffs of vapor fall from his lips. Itâs chilly and heâs only wearing slacks thanks to Levi stripping him of all layers due to suspicion. His eyes shoot open when he hears soft footsteps approaching him in the darkness. He panics slightly, looking up at the dark canopy to see if Levi has finally come to end him.
Heâs shocked when he sees itâs you, strutting toward him on your tiptoes in the darkness. You're holding a blanket, and smiling at him.
âHere, itâs a lot colder tonight than it has been,â you say draping the blanket around his shoulders and bending down next to him. Heâs shocked at how tender you are with him, a significant shift from your behavior earlier and heâs immediately suspicious. When you reach out to rub your hand through his thick hair, he flinches away from you.
You pull your hand back and give him a pathetic apologetic look. âIâm sorry I have to act that way in front of the captain. But youâve seen him, heâs terrifying. I wouldnât dare not follow his orders,â you say poking your bottom lip out and looking up at him through your eyelashes.
Zeke watches as you pull your bottom lip between your teeth and reach out to him again. This time he leans into your touch, aching to feel your warm hand against his cold forehead and brush through his locks. When your skin touches his, he sighs and relaxes. His eyes close as you scratch his scalp and smile lovingly at him. The ache he felt in his crotch previously makes its way back and he curses under his breath at not being able to take you right here.
He opens his eyes again when you stop scratching his scalp and his eyes bug out when he sees you pull your sleeping shirt over your head and youâre bare in front of him. Your pert nipples harden as the cold air licks at them and Zekeâs mouth waters. When you step over his legs and sit down to straddle him, he groans. You grind against his throbbing cock, tightening and restrained in his pants and move closer to him. He can feel your warmth even through the thick sleeping garb you're still wearing on your legs.
âIâve wanted to do this since we arrived in the forest, but I never had the chance too,â you say looking into his eyes. You bite your lip again, blink slowly as your hands run down his hairy chest. Â You pinch one of his nipples and he grunts and thrust up into you.
âYou little minx,â he says through his teeth. You place a slender finger to his lips and shush him, before slipping it into his mouth. You move closer to him, pressing your bare chest to his and he shivers from your burning touch. He struggles against the ropes, wanting to roam his hands all over you but he settles for the saltiness of your finger.
His tongue swirls around and he sucks it, trying to show you how skilled he is, how he hopes to suck on your clit tonight. As if youâre reading his mind you purr in his ear, Â âIâve been thinking about your tongue all night.â
You feel his cock twitch against your ass again and you wind your hips in a small circle, pressing down on the tent in his pants. He leans away from your finger to kiss between your breast and nibble on your nipples. The hair from his beard scratches you but you sigh and moan when he bites down and licks your nipple.
âFuck sweetheart untie my hands. I need to feel you,â he moans, moving to try and give you a quick kiss on the lips. You dodge him, smiling playfully before plopping a quick kiss on the tip of his nose.
âSilly Mr. Jaeger. If I untie your arms, the Captain will come for sure. Heâs got great instincts you know. Iâm sure the only reason he hasnât come is because youâre doing so well at being quiet,â you say with salacious innocence.
Youâre lovely, for an island devil, and Zeke is pretty sure he could save you. The others have to die, but you, surely you could be swayed into knowing that you couldnât be allowed to make more little beasts. Youâve shown that you can be obedient, that you sympathize with him, and even if you donât, heâs very confident he can fuck the right idea into your mind. The way youâre hanging on to him now, the way youâre grinding against him, panting like a bitch in heat, he knows you want him.
Your hands snake down his broad chest, running your nails over the tight pecs and abs and stopping at the buckle of his pants. Your lidded eyes gaze into his, blinking slowly again and holding his attention. He bites his lip as your sweet voice rings in his ears.
âDo you want me to touch it, Mr. Jaeger? I really want to touch it.â
âGo ahead doll. You can touch it,â he says sucking in the cool breath between the two of you. Your expert fingers undo the buckle of his belt, plunge down his pants, and release his weeping length. When your fingers wrap around him, firmly grasp the base and squeeze, he throws his head back and groans.
His moan is proud, entitled, loud and you have to slap your hand over his mouth to make sure you donât get caught. You shush him again, putting a finger to your pretty lips and raising one eyebrow to chastise him. He kisses and licks the hand over his mouth and you move it to run it through his hair again as you spit into your other palm and stroke his cock. Itâs long, pretty and surrounded by coarse blonde hair. He sucks in a breath as you tighten your grip and slip your hand up and down his shaft. You mix his precum with the spit in your hand, teasing his tip when your hand reaches the top.
He bites his lip, whimpers and kisses up your chest. He lifts his hips, matches your pace and fucks your hand, craving your warm wet cunt. When he tries to kiss your lips again, you stop pumping him and grab his cheeks, a new expression on your pretty face, scolding, disappointed, mocking . Â
âI donât know that you deserve to kiss me, Mr. Jaeger. Youâre so loud when you know we should be quiet,â your voice is still quiet, twinkling with that salacious innocence youâve expressed but thereâs a hint of power behind your words now and you sound dangerous.
Zeke is flustered, his cheeks are dusted red and heâs panting and groaning and pleading for you to move your hand again. He promises to be quieter, to not tell anyone about your encounter, âI promise baby, please .â
âYouâll be quiet?â You say licking at his earlobe and resuming your motion. He groans again, quieter this time but more desperate. He squeezes his eyes shut, and lifts his hips up into your tight fist. When heâs on the brink of orgasm, you stop again and giggle at his anguished cry.
âYou didnât answer me, Mr. Jaeger.â
Zeke knows youâll be a good asset to his cause now. Youâre ruthless, strong, you take what you want and it only makes him want to fuck you into submission, to punish you for teasing him this way, put you in your place and have you next to him when he achieves his goal. When he thinks about how much he can fill you and make you his without the added fear of producing another monster like the rest of the Eldians here, he trembles in horrific pleasure.
âIâll be quiet, just fucking let me come,â he hisses through his teeth.
You increase your pace, getting Zeke right to the cusp of his orgasm again as he grunts and fucks himself on your hand. Heâs breathing hard with wide eyes and biting his lip to hold the loud groan he wants to let out as he rides out his would be orgasm. You run your hand toward the back of his coarse tresses and yank his head up to look you in the eyes as he is about to combust.
He stares into your eyes and what he sees there frightens him. Tears from the constant edging and fear spill from his eyes. He can see the reflection of the moon in your eyes, and very quickly the streak of a small lithe man zipping from a tree overhead.
When Levi approaches and observes the scene, you donât look worried as you portrayed. You look at him as if youâre searching for approval and Zeke realizes, this is what Levi whispered to you. You stand and walk toward the Captain, bare and proud in front of him. He gives you a small nod, his eyes lingering on your body hungrily.
âGood work, y/n,â he praises and you smile at him. When he turns his attention to Zeke, you pull your shirt over your head but he stops you and pulls you close, eyes never leaving Zekeâs.
âWhat was that about pleasuring a woman better than me, ape?â he says as he wraps an arm around your waist. The shock on your face lets Zeke know what happens next is not part of the plan.
Levi crashes his lips to yours, holding the back of your head with his long skilled fingers and gripping the base of your hair. The kiss is passionate, cocky but not devoid of attraction. The Captain wants to be kissing you, he wants your body close to his, and he wants to fuck you in front of this monkey bastard, to make him see what he will never have.Â
When the two of you break the kiss, you both are breathing hard with lust and he gives you a look that asks if this is what you want. You pull your shirt over your head to answer his silent question and he quickly unbuckles his equipment and straps.
Zeke watches in wordless disbelief as you pull your pants down and expose what heâs been fantasizing about all night. His mouth waters and he growls in frustration as you approach Levi and help him remove his clothes. Zeke yells in anger when the captainâs hands roam over your body, squeezing and rubbing over your soft supple thighs.Â
When you both are completely naked and marveling at how amazing you both look to each other, Zeke takes in how perfect both of your bodies are. Heâs always admired Leviâs strength but to find out heâs well endowed too, admiration quickly replaces his envy.
You kiss Levi again, softly as if itâs a dream come true. He places a hand on your cheek, pushes your hair from your face and says in your ear, âTurn around,â before he pulls you flush to his body and his fingers snake down to your clit. Your ass rubs against his already hard dick and you gasp at his touch. He pushes down on the small of your back, bending you over against a nearby tree and surveying how wet you already are from his touch.
âCaptain, please fuck me,â you whisper desperately in a voice Zeke wishes you used for him .
Zeke pulls desperately at the rope at his hands so hard it makes red marks on his wrists and Leviâs eyes move quickly to him. Levi picks up his sword and points it toward Zekeâs face, one hand still digging into the meat of your ass.
âDo any titan shifting and Iâll carve you up without ever slipping out of her,â he threatens in a deep husky voice. You moan at the same time Zeke whimpers in fear of Leviâs very possible threat. Levi positions his cock at your entrance and says before he enters you slowly,
âYouâre going to watch me do the one thing youâve been wanting to do since you got to this forest, you furry bastard. Youâll hear her say my name, and youâll know I fucked her better than you ever could, as if I would ever give you the chance to touch her.â
Zeke watches as Leviâs hips snap into yours and you call out his name as he predicted. Your legs quiver from only a few thrusts and Zeke momentarily wonders what Leviâs technique is. Levi curses under his breath, praises you, compliments how well you take his cock and Zeke knows itâs all things he would be saying to you. Things that he will say to you, one day.
If Levi thought he would give up that easy, he was wrong. Heâs always been a stubborn bastard, a stubborn patient bastard. Heâll have his chance with you. When both you and Levi cry out in ecstasy and he releases hot sticky cum onto your back, Zeke has calmed down. He watches the captain bring your face up to his to kiss you again before he sits back quietly, planning his and your escape.

Her nose burned with the scent of blood and cheap vodka, no matter how hard she scrubbed.
In the early days, when she had first been stationed at this bar, she had stocked the cupboard beneath the register with supplies. Lemon-scented bleach, candy-blue windex, a dried up tube of wet wipes. Every night before closing, she had tugged on a pair of yellow rubber gloves and gone to work. Rubbing, scouring, swabbing away every spilled shot, every stray fingerprint. The dirt and spit and grime seemed to accumulate instantly, and yet, she continued her sisyphean housekeeping, trying to paint over the barâs run-down reality with a layer of chemical gloss. But, all of that effort was to no avail; this was a roadside establishment, so there would always be sloppy drunks, and there would, most assuredly, always be bar fights, new stains to replace old. No use in hiding it.
Now, sheâd grown numb to it, the cleaning supplies below the register covered in an ever-thickening coat of dust. The once shiny, lacquered surface of the bar now reflected dully beneath the low light, encrusted with old dirt and sour deeds. The floor was sticky, a yearsâ worth of spilled cocktails accumulating in a tacky glue trap. The mirror behind the bar, its surface cloudy and warped, reflected the late-night debauchery of men in desperate need of respite.
Every night, she wiped foggy glasses with the same gray, fraying rag, watching the same blurred, bearded faces pass through. The Crimson Valley Motel, owned by (Y/N)âs father, was a dependable option for truckers looking for a night away from the cramped quarters and lumpy cots of their vehicles. With its low nightly fares and extensive parking, and her fatherâs promise of discounted drink prices at the attached bar, customers returned without fail. Even still, she tried not to grow too attached to any patrons. They were just passing through, after all, with separate lives waiting for them beyond the road and the walls of the motel. But, sometimes, she just couldnât help herself.Â
Bucky Barnes was one such case.
The first things she had noticed the moment he walked into the bar two years ago were his eyes. Piercing blue, stern and ever-watchful, set beneath the overhang of his perpetually furrowed brow. That first night, he had nursed his whiskey glass with two gloved hands, staring at the barâs surface as if he were trying to memorize every intricacy and flourish in its woodgrain. She had appreciated his presence ever since, so quiet and watchful, a stark departure from the raucous drunkards and wild military men who usually frequented the Crimson Valley Bar. And, despite the fact that he drank as much as the other patrons, he never seemed affected by the alcohol, his gaze as clear and haunting as ever, even well into the dark hours of morning. It almost made her laugh, his perfect stoicism and strong jaw, the classic image of unperturbed masculinity. But she could sense the ghost of some deep sadness in the downturned set of his mouth. His shoulders always seemed tense, and he continually shifted his weight in his seat, peering over his shoulder every once in a while, as if suspicious that he was being watched. It made her swallow any skepticism about his demeanor, instead deciding that he was likely a very broken man, deserving of the space and quiet his countenance demanded. For that reason, she never asked him any questions, never made a move to satiate that burning curiosity within her. Better to keep a respectful distance than stir up unwelcome memories.Â
She had never even really spoken to him, and only knew his name because she once caught his signature on a receipt. By the time she read it, he had whisked away to spend the night in his motel room and prepare for departure early the next morning.
Whenever he came back, it was like she could sense his presence, could feel his steely gaze sweeping the bar. It was comforting, a sweet bubble of solace beneath the humming neon and peeling rock nâ roll posters, a space of quiet surrounded by the pressing screech of electric guitar and deep boom of drums. She never knew when he would return, his trucking routes and schedule difficult to predict with such minimal information, but she secretly looked forward to it. Another day, another opportunity to unwrap the quiet mystery of Bucky Barnes.
Tonight, the bar was crowded. Hopeful thoughts of seeing Bucky retreated to the very back corner of her mind as she poured sparkling streams of amber liquid into lines of waiting glasses, shaking and stirring and swirling again and again in the rote, mindless motions that a full house required. She had no room to daydream, not on a Saturday night, when more lonely truckers sought out the bar for company, and when the local military base flooded in on their night out. In a room full of loud men with wanting mouths, she needed to work quickly.
On nights like these, the men mostly left her alone, too absorbed in their own festivities to take much note of her. Beyond the simple âpleasesâ and âthank yous,â they seemed to recognize that any attempt to strike up a conversation would interrupt her flow and leave her begrudging, frustrated, and not exactly an ideal conversation partner. But, some men couldnât take a hint.
She had been cutting lemon wedges, concentrating on creating an even slice and avoiding her fingertips with the dull knife blade. She counted each slice before pouring the wedges into a chilled metal bowl, her movements precise and rhythmic. 1, 2. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, pour⌠1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, pour⌠1, 2, 3--
âHey, bartender! I asked you a question.â
She knew it was John before she even bothered to look up. She sighed heavily, placing the knife on the counter and wiping her hands before tilting her gaze upwards.
John Walker was another regular here, but her opinion of him was very different than the tentative infatuation she harbored for Bucky Barnes. To put it simply, she did not like John. Whenever he swaggered past the barâs threshold, flanked by his two favored cronies, she shuddered. Unlike the relatively polite regulars who frequented the bar, John was demanding, expecting (Y/N) to cater to his every whim without complaint. He was, apparently, a favored recruit at the military base. She just thought he was a privileged asshole. One time, he refused to tip her because she didnât smile at him when she served his drink. And, another time, he broke his glass on purpose just to watch her clean it up.
Now, he was staring at her, head cocked and arms crossed, expecting an answer to a question she hadnât heard him utter.
She sighed again, leaning against the counter. âSorry, John. Didnât catch your question.â Her voice was flat, lacking in genuine sympathy. âMind repeating it?â
âCanât even listen,â he said to himself, shaking his head in disappointment. âAs I asked earlier, did you water down my fuckinâ snakebite?â
She stared at him, eyes boring into his cold blue ones, and she thought for a second. She was annoyed by his interruption, but this could go poorly if she didnât handle it with care. If she said the wrong thing, he could get offended, and she was the only woman in a room full of men. She could hold her own in a fight and had some experience with self-defense, sure, but that wouldnât hold up against a man with Johnâs stature and training. She couldnât predict if any of the other men in the room would come to her rescue if things went south, but she couldnât really blame them. He was tall and strong, and had a temper to boot. But his fragile masculinity, which compelled him to talk down to her and order such ridiculous drinks as a snakebite, wouldnât survive if she talked back. So, her decision was made.
âWell, John,â she said, her voice low as she smirked. âUsually, youâre already plastered by the time you make it to my bar. I always have to water down your drinks because you canât hold your fucking liquor.â
His face darkened, brows drawing downwards in a chilling expression of anger. He gritted his teeth together and pushed back from the bar, motioning to turn away from her and back to his friends. âI can handle my liquor just fine, thank you.â
She cleared her throat, catching his attention. âActually, just last weekend, you threw up all over the parking lot. My poor Pops had to clean it up.â She chuckled at the memory of her father, grumbling with a bucket and mop in hand, as John sat with his head in his hands in the front office. âYou might not remember it, John, but I do. We all do.â The incident had occurred well before closing time, so many of the barâs customers had seen it with their own eyes. One or two had surely caught it on camera.
âAre you fucking mocking me?â A vein popped out on his neck, his face growing read and hot.
She felt her pulse rise in fear, but she ignored it, hand resting next to the knife on the counter. âMaybe I am.â She leaned forward, leering at him. âWhat are you going to do about it?â
âWhat am I going to do about it?â He laughed incredulously, picking up his half-full glass and examining its amber-colored contents briefly before hurling it at the mirrored wall behind her.
She ducked, shielding her face from splattering liquid and broken glass. âShit.â She dropped onto her hands and knees and crawled, frantically clambering below the bar for the cleaning cupboard. She knew how this encounter would go, but she was starting to realize that she shouldnât have pushed it. He had never actually threatened her physical harm before, resigning himself to simply being an asshole. Tonight, that had obviously changed.
âNuh-uh, where the fuck do you think youâre going?â His voice was still loud enough to pierce her eardrums over the pulsating music. He reached down to where she was, grasping for Windex in the dusty, cavernous cabinet, and roughly gripped her hair in his fist. He pulled up harshly, causing an unpleasant sting to radiate down her scalp. The breath caught in her throat.Â
She had fucked up. Badly.
He wrenched her close, until their faces were just inches apart. He examined her face, his own visage arranged in an unpleasant sneer. She looked straight into his eyes, unwilling to back down, even though she was frightened of what he might do.Â
âI should put you in your place.â His voice was quiet, only audible to her. She shuddered, lip curling in distaste. The sour taste of bile rose on her tongue at the violating way his eyes scanned her face, as if he were a predator examining his prey. A few patrons were watching, pausing their conversations to watch the show. But, none were helping, jumping up to arrive at her aid. A dark pit grew in her stomach at the observation.
He loosened his grip on her hair and she moved to pull back, but before she could, he spit in her face, a thick, hot wad of saliva landing on her cheek. Her mouth gaped in disgust, nose flaring, and she stepped back, wiping the insult from her face with her sleeve and slipping the knife she had been using earlier into her hand, concealing it behind her back. She retreated until her back was flush with the mirror behind her, eyes flitting wildly, trying to find a gap in the crowd where she could disappear and distance herself from him. But all she could see was his face, his hooked nose and hooded eyes, that awful, sneering expression, as he prepared to jump over the bar and bridge the gap between them.Â
But, before he could, his head slammed into the barâs wooden surface with a sickening crack!
Her mouth dropped open in confusion, the rushing bout of adrenaline quickly waning in her veins as she took in the sight of John, head pinned to the counter by a gloved hand. Wait, is that--?
Her suspicions were confirmed when she looked up from Johnâs floundering figure to find Bucky, his hand firmly wrapped in Johnâs hair, his face contorted in an expression of rage. She had never seen him like this, nose scrunched, eyes dark. His eyes briefly flickered to hers, and when their gazes met, his face softened slightly, as if to provide her with some sense of reassurance. The breath stalled in her throat, but before relief could flood into her limbs, she saw John stirring in Buckyâs grip.
âWhat⌠what the fuck, man?â John turned his head, cheek pressed against the barâs cool surface, to stare at Bucky out of the corner of his eye.
âWatch yourself, buddy.â Buckyâs voice was gruff and uncaring.
âBuddy?â John scoffed.Â
âWell, whatâs your name, then?â
A laugh rose in Johnâs throat, bubbling over into a bitter, joyless sound. He was trying to intimidate Bucky into backing off, shifting his weight below him in an effort to distract him.
It didnât work. Bucky simply pressed Johnâs face even harder into the counter, until the breath whooshed from Johnâs lips in a muffled, defeated gasp.Â
âI asked you a question.â
âFine-- fine. Nameâs Walker.â
âWell, Walker,â Bucky replied, leaning in close until his face obstructed Johnâs vision. âKeep your fucking mitts off my girl here.â
âWhat?â She couldnât help it as the question left her lips in a surprised gasp. Buckyâs eyes flicked up to her again, lips pulling down in an embarrassed grimace, as if he hadnât meant to call her that.Â
That moment was enough time for John to act.
Bucky grunted and stumbled back a couple of steps as John pushed out from under him. There was no time to think, no time to act, before John strode towards Bucky and socked him straight in the nose, Buckyâs head whipping violently to the side.
(Y/N)âs heart plummeted into her stomach. She stayed anchored to her spot in front of the mirror, unable to move. There wasnât much that she could do. Now that John had initiated a physical fight, he likely wasnât going to stop throwing punches until either he or Bucky collapsed. And with Bucky eliminated as a threat, there would be no one standing between John and her. With that thought, she brought the knife out from behind her and clutched it to her chest like a lifeline. She watched Bucky and John with rapt attention, waiting for the fight to turn back in her direction again.
Blood began to gush from Buckyâs nostrils in a thick stream, staining his lips a wet scarlet and dribbling down his chin. But, he smiled, shaking his head slightly and chuckling darkly.Â
âYouâre really askinâ for it now, Walker.âÂ
Before (Y/N) could even blink, Bucky sprung, landing a jab and a right cross that hit John square in the chin. He grabbed John by the collar and slammed him into his knee, the pure force knocking the wind out of Johnâs chest with a meek groan. Bucky pushed John roughly into a table and John stumbled, causing a chair to clatter and fall, but he remained upright, leaning heavily against the table.
âYou going to fight back at all?â Buckyâs goading tone took (Y/N) by surprise. Why was he egging him on?
John snorted and cracked his neck, trying to shake an encroaching sense of uncertainty from his limbs. He pushed off from the table and began a slow, circling orbit around the center of the room, sizing Bucky up with a violent, wolflike gaze, pushing the other customers flush against the wall. Bucky simply stood in place and watched, trying to anticipate Johnâs next move.
John stopped circling when he was directly across from (Y/N), Bucky between them. She felt Johnâs gaze slide from Bucky to her, his eyes languidly raking over her body, sensing out her fear. When he saw the knife in her hand, he raised an eyebrow in disapproval, shaking his head. Her heart pounded, adrenaline beginning to thrum through her veins once more.Â
John widened his stance and bent his knees, assuming an athletic stance in preparation to tackle Bucky. Bucky imitated his movement, planting his feet firmly into the floor. John inhaled deeply through his nose, once, twice, and then, he took off, running towards Bucky at full speed.
The room watched in silence, holding a collective breath. The only sound was the pounding of Johnâs boots against hardwood, the music paused long ago.
He hit Bucky with the force of a mack truck. It was enough to knock anyone off their feet, even someone who had fared as well as Bucky in the fight so far. John hit him so hard that they went flying, suspended in the air for a moment. For (Y/N), it felt so much longer, watching her savior struggle against the grip of his opponent in midair, uttering a quiet âShit!â as his back slammed into the floor. And then, Bucky was still, John crouched over his immobile form, a triumphant smile plastered on his face.
(Y/N) felt her body move off its own accord, pushing away from the wall, past the safety of the barâs counter, towards the aftermath of the fray. Her legs quivered, a hard lump rising in her throat as she pushed towards the edge of the crowd. She couldnât see Buckyâs face, his head concealed by Johnâs hulking body. A shudder wracked her body, her hope waning.
It was like John could sense her presence. He looked up, his sickening grin showing glistening, too-white teeth. She flexed her fingers, adjusting her grip on the knife. Johnâs eyes caught the movement, sensing the glint of low light against the blade, and he smirked. He was about to rock back onto his knees, to get up and finish what he started, when Buckyâs head slammed into his.
Disoriented, (Y/N) stepped backwards, once again flush with the crowd. One moment, she had been preparing to fight, to let the blood-soaked evening devolve into even more violence. Then, the next, Bucky had suddenly reanimated, an almost superhuman force driving power into his limbs. He bucked John, still reeling from the unexpected headbutt, off of him with an aggressive, thrusting twist. John tumbled and collapsed on the floor next to Bucky, who slowly knelt, then stood, eyes on John the whole time. When John didnât budge, splayed on the floor with a distant, vaguely dazed expression, Bucky turned his gaze to (Y/N).
The room was dead silent, save for Johnâs labored breathing and the sound of Buckyâs boots against the hardwood as he slowly walked towards (Y/N). The room seemed to fade around the two of them, the confused, awed, and fearful faces of the spectating patrons blurred together in an anonymous mass. It smelled of sweat and rust and spilled liquor, but she didnât care, because Bucky was okay.
âAnyone else?â Bucky asked the rest of the room, not taking his eyes off of (Y/N), even for a moment, lest she disappear, or worse. But she didnât, staying rooted to the same spot, eyes glistening with gratitude. And no one responded to Buckyâs challenge.Â
When Bucky came to a stop a foot in front of her, the other customers began to quietly file out, afraid to utter any remarks that may provoke another altercation. Johnâs two cronies picked him up from the floor, hefting his arms over their shoulders and bolting for the exit, his boots dragging on the floor. (Y/N) watched them exit, watched them stuff John into the backseat of their car before they peeled out of the parking lot and took off with the screeching sound of retreating rubber.
âYou know,â Bucky said, his voice soft in spite of the eveningâs violent course. âYou donât have to worry about using that. Youâre safe with me.â He pointed at the knife, still clutched in (Y/N)âs hands.
She looked down at the knife in her hands and then looked up at him, formulating a response, when she noticed that he had a gash on his jaw, as well as a still steadily-flowing nosebleed. The knife clattered to the floor as she reached for his hand. âYouâre bleeding.â Her voice was thick with worry, regretting the fact that he had suffered for her sake.
He shook his head. âIâve gotten worse.â
âLet me help you.â She glanced urgently around the bar, now empty save for the two of them. âI can close up and bring the first aid kit to your room. I owe you, after all of that.â
âYou donât owe me anything.â He paused for a second, considering. âBut, sure. A couple of bandaids wouldnât hurt.â
She smiled. âIâll be there in ten.â
His brows creased together slightly, a chagrined smile curling his lips upwards. âOh, Iâm not leaving you alone just yet. We didnât see where Walker went. He could be waiting just outside with those two other guys.â
She knew that both she and Bucky had seen them drive away, but she nodded anyways. âAlright. Just let me grab the first aid kit and my keys.â
âDeal.â
She picked the knife up from the floor and walked back to the bar, placing it gently in the sink. As Bucky walked towards the entrance, surveying the parking lot outside from the small, frosted window, she reached into the cabinet of cleaning supplies, pulling out a rusted, white box with a blaring maroon cross emblazoned on its front. She blew off the thin layer of dust that coated it and stood, grabbing her keys from the hook next to the mirror and joining Bucky at the entrance.
He turned towards her, noting the first aid kit, and grinned. âRoom 102, here we come.â
She returned his smile as he opened the door, midnight air washing over them in a brisk, drafty waft. They stepped outside, engulfed in nighttime chill, and she shut the door and locked it, fumbling with the cold metal of the keys. Bucky stepped closer to her, his arm brushing against hers, his body emanating an intoxicating warmth. She welcomed his proximity, wondering if he could sense the fact that she was cold, as they walked across the parking lot to his motel room.
He pulled his key from his back pocket and slid it through the card swipe, the door unlocking with a crisp click. She was looking out at the parking lot, at the trees and darkness beyond, wondering if John and his friends were in fact lurking out there somewhere, biding their time for the right moment to strike again. He was definitely the type to hold a grudge for a night like this. If he didnât retaliate tonight, he would soon, would let her soak in the fear for a few days and then arrive at the bar unannounced with dues to pay.
Bucky cleared his throat, and (Y/N)âs attention snapped back to him. She looked up at him, eyes wide and surprised, and found that his smile was gentle and knowing.Â
âYouâre safe with me. Come on, letâs get inside. Itâs cold.â
When they stepped inside, they were greeted with a welcoming warmth. The door shut behind them. He walked over to the little oak nightstand next to the single queen-sized bed and turned on the bedside lamp, its bulb washing the room in a dim, glowing halo of amber. She sighed, muscles relaxing, seeming to melt into the warmth, into the comfort of being somewhere besides the bar. She placed the first aid kit on the bed and shrugged off her cardigan.
âSo, doc,â Bucky teased, approaching her at the foot of the bed. âWhatâs the plan? Howâre you going to fix me up?â
âWell,â she said, squinting as she examined his face. âWeâll have to wash all that blood off first, so I can assess the damage.â
He gestured to the bathroom with one hand. âLead the way.â
They walked into the bathroom and he flipped the light on, its white fluorescence a stark contrast from the soft light in the other room. She grabbed a bleach-white washcloth from the shelf above the toilet and turned on the faucet, dampening the cloth under the steady stream of water. She turned off the faucet and stepped back as Bucky leaned against the sink, crossing his arms.
âThis might sting,â she said quietly, stepping into the space between his legs, his stance framing hers. He simply nodded in response. She tried not to think about their sudden proximity, the fact that she was alone in a motel room with a man who had risked his own safety to protect hers, a man she had been secretly pining over for a while now. Instead, she smoothed the wet washcloth in her hands and brought it up to his face, dabbing gingerly at a stream of blood that had dried on his cheek. When she brushed against the cut on his jaw, he winced, a sharp huff of breath leaving his nose.
âSorry,â she apologized, trying to handle the cloth with light fingers. âHe really got you there.â
âEven if thatâs true, part of me thinks I should thank the guy.â
(Y/N) paused. âW-what?â
âWell, heâs an absolute ass. Deserved what he got,â he chuckled. âBut now, Iâve got the pretty girl who works at my favorite bar taking care of me. It was definitely worth a couple of scrapes.â
âI--â her response died in her throat, choked by the deep blush that was creeping up her neck. She paused dabbing at his face, looking at him quizzically.
âSorry,â he said quickly, noting her creased brow and parted lips. ���Too soon.â
âNo-- no. Itâs okay.â She shook her head and smiled, moving the washcloth to his upper lip as she wiped away the evidence of his bloody nose. I just didnât think you felt that way, too.
After a few more minutes of tense silence, (Y/N) trying to avoid direct eye contact the whole time, lest her blush return, his face was clean. She stepped back and examined her handiwork before throwing the bloodied washcloth in the waste bin and leading Bucky back into the main room. She sat down on the bed, its springs groaning in a rusty bounce beneath her, and she opened the first aid kit, searching for a suitable bandage for his jaw. He knelt on the floor in front of her, placing his hands on the bed on either side of her, caging her in with his arms but refusing to let his touch drift any closer without permission. He watched her fingers flit indecisively between the different band-aid choices.Â
Finally, she plucked one from its box, carefully unpeeling its wrapping. Bucky tilted his head slightly, allowing her easy access to the cut on his jaw, and she delicately placed the band-aid over it, careful not to press too hard against the tender skin. Her touch unconsciously lingered a moment longer, lightly caressing his face with the pads of her fingers. But after a few seconds, when she didnât pull away, they both inhaled sharply, his face quickly growing hot. Their eyes met, and she dropped her hands to her sides, his piercing blue gaze boring into hers.
 He blinked and stood, walking over to the door and hunching down to glance at the parking lot through the peephole.
âI should get going,â (Y/N) said, voice hushed as she snapped the first aid kit shut. She stood, grabbing her cardigan, preparing to meet the cold outside and run to her permanent room. âThank you. For everything.â
He turned away from the door. âHold on.â His voice was grave, a stark contrast to the light, flirty turn of the evening since they had entered his room. âWe still donât know if heâs out there.â
(Y/N) bit her lip and shifted her weight, silently grateful for his hesitancy to let her be alone. âWhat are you suggesting?â
âYou can take the bed.â He gestured to the spot on the carpet between the bed and the door. âI can take the floor.â
âA-are you sure?âÂ
âIf I was in your position, I wouldnât want to be alone,â he said, voice rough and quiet. âBut, itâs your decision to make. I can walk you back to your room, if thatâs what youâd prefer.â
She thought for a second. She agreed with Buckyâs observation that John may still be out there, lying in wait, and he had been spot-on with the remark that it would be frightening to be alone after tonightâs violence. So far, Bucky had proven himself to be good. She felt comfortable around him. He didnât try to touch her, and he still gave her options, despite the fact that he seemed oddly protective of her. She knew that he wouldnât hurt her, that he wouldnât try to slip into bed next to her in the darkest hours of morning. He was a good man. He would live up to his promise and give her space, acting as a blockade between her and the outside world. For tonight, he would be the promise of warmth, of comfort, of safety.
âI think Iâd be more comfortable here. With you.â
âAlright.â He offered a simple reply, walking over to her and taking the first aid kit and her cardigan from her, placing them on top of the dresser. âYouâll be safe with me,â he reassured her, bending down to look her in the eyes when he said it, uttering each word with heavy truth.
She nodded and bit her lip. When she felt her blush creeping back up her face, those stern, icy blue eyes of his fixated on her, she turned away, directing her attention towards the bed, hands smoothing over the covers. She grabbed a pillow, its blanched case stiff and rough from continual washing, and handed it to him. He smiled and took it, humming a low laugh and placing it on the floor next to the bed.
She pulled back the sheets as he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth. Her eyelids were suddenly heavy, her body absolutely exhausted, but grateful for a safe place to rest after the dayâs peril. She felt herself lull into a hypnotic state of rest before she could even pull the covers over her body, listening to the rumble of the motelâs heater and the whoosh of cars driving past on the distant highway.
Bucky finished in the bathroom and tiptoed to the closet. He grabbed the extra blanket from the top shelf, its woolen fabric starchy and coarse, and plopped it onto the floor next to his pillow. Then, he looked down at (Y/N), curled up on the bed, already halfway into a dream. He sighed, a soft smile gracing his lips, and he reached for the blankets on the bed, pulling them up over her sedated form. She shifted under the covers, settling into their warmth, and he turned off the bedside lamp, the room submerged in a sudden, but not unwelcome, darkness.
                               â§
She woke to light streaming through the gap in the curtains.
The room smelled of lavender detergent and carpet cleaner, and of something distinctly masculine and unfamiliar, the scent of mint toothpaste and rainfall. She stretched, her body grateful for a restful night as memories of the previous day trickled back in. Johnâs threats, Buckyâs heroism. Her shyness, her inability to tell him how she felt, despite the fact that he so clearly reciprocated those feelings he had hinted at.
She sat up in bed and looked around the room. On the floor next to her, the spare blanket was folded neatly, the pillow she had given to Bucky the previous night stacked on top of it. His duffel was gone from its perch on the dresser. Any trace of him had disappeared, save for the scent that hung in the air and the memories that clung to (Y/N)âs brain.
She sighed, swinging her legs over the side of the bed and standing up. She had a lot of work to do today. She supposed that she should probably clean up the bar after last nightâs incident, and should break open the cleaning supplies that she had left untouched for so long. She wished that she had had the chance to say goodbye to Bucky before he left, a faint sense of longing gripping her throat. But, at least the cleaning would take her mind off of that, for the time being.
As she stood, she brushed through her hair roughly with her fingers, gathering the first aid kit and her cardigan. She surveyed the room one last time, bathed in soft morning light, when a square of white on the nightstand caught her eye.
Brows furrowed with confusion, she walked over, abandoning her things on the bed. On the nightstand was a notepad, an uncapped pen sitting next to it. A brief note was scribbled on it.
Call me if he comes back.Â
Or, if you need me. For anything.
-Bucky
The message was followed by a phone number.
(Y/N) ripped the note from the pad and stared at Buckyâs slanted, spiked handwriting for a moment, noting the sharp angles and rushed script of his letters.
She stuffed the note in her back pocket and smiled.

Okay, this is something random that came to my mind on my way back from the theatre:
A Ted Lasso âThe Full Montyâ AU
âAll in all, weâre gonna need something bigger for this charity event,â Ted Lasso said, looking around the rest of the Diamond Dogs. Even though Trent Crimm wasnât one of them (at least not yet), the coach didnât have a single doubt in summoning him from the dark and dusty archive room. He felt a little out of space in the coachesâ office, not really understanding why he was needed to discuss a charity event, but still, he was all ears, as usual.
âSomething that draws the attention like a tractor beam attracts the Millenium Falcon,â Ted continued.
âDo you have anything in mind?â Higgins wondered.
âOh yes,â the coach nodded. âLook no further, Donna Summer âcause this is the hot stuff youâve been waiting for!â he announced, turning his MacBook towards the others showing them a scanned poster of a charity event with a drawing of a man throwing his shirt away.
âThe Half Monty?â Higgins read the enormous orange letters as they all were observing the poster. All, except Coach Beard, who was just watching the others, smiling.
âYeah, it was an extremely religious community,â Ted said.
âKansasâŚâ Trent mumbled with his eyes on the screen, then he suddenly looked up at Ted. âYou did this, didnât you?â he asked.
âPays a lot better than washing cars,â Beard said, making everyone looking at him.
âFuck,â Roy said, as he tried not to imagine Ted and Beard doing a striptease for charity. He failed. So did everyone else.
âThough weâll need more than just the half monty here,â the moustached coach added, looking around the others. âWhat do you think?â
âFUCK, NO!â Roy burst out, then left the office immediately, perhaps to get rid of the mental picture of his colleagues tearing off their clothes to â80s disco songs.
âI have to agree with him,â Trent said. âNever in a million years.â He just couldnât see himself taking off his clothes to â80s disco songs⌠or wait, Hot Stuff might still be the â70s, he thought, but then he shook it out of his head as it wasnât the point. The point was that he couldnât see himself taking off his clothes to music with people watching him. He couldnât see himself doing that while being alone either. Not that it would make much sense, but he still couldnât imagine it.
âIâm in, but only if we leave out the Macarena,â Beard told him.
âThen itâs gonna be âNay Macarena,ââ Ted said then turned to Higgins. âHow âbout you, Higgy Pop?â
âWell, I may already have a playlist for it,â he admitted, holding up his phone to show the songs to the others.
âHave you just made it right now?â Trent wondered.
âOh, no, itâs there for a couple of years now,â he told them, and the ex-journalist had to fight himself not to ask the reason why as he didnât want to be rude.
âDidnât know you were into such thing,â Ted said.
âMy wife likes watching me dance,â Higgins added.
âCanât blame her,â the coach nodded.
At the moment the door opened, and Jamie Tartt entered the office.
âIâve just heard that you want to do some striptease,â he said. âCan I join?â

Waiting (Captain Syverson x Reader) [Request]
Hooray for open asks! Okay, drabble this - we all know Sy loves his Aika dog. What if she gets injured? And the pretty lady veterinarian at Warhorse (who Sy happens to be having a secret relationship with) helps take care of her. Sy would be so grateful. And spend lots of time in the vet's quarters keeping an eye on his beloved girl(s) đ â Requested by @tuckersgirlâ
A/N:Â Reader changed to medic instead of veterinarian. The mention of medics trained on animals is a reference to The Punisher.

The commotion outside made you fear the worst. You hurried out of the medical tent, prepared for whatever gruesome horror the war was placing at your feet.
You hadnât expected it to be Aika.
As the men loaded the German Shepherd into the tent, Syverson grasped your arm, his grip tight out of panic and desperation. You stared up into his fearful face made stony by his helplessness. He wasnât one to show weakness, as he saw it, but you felt his palpable anxiety.
âSave her,â he pleaded.
âIâm a medic, not a vet.â
âYou told me about all those dogs they had you work on for practice. You can save her.â
Remembering the dogs made you sick to your stomach. Inside the tent, a high-pitched whine rose above the clamor. Syversonâs grip tightened on your arm, the pain in his face visible.
âIâll do what I can,â you assured him.
You strode back into the tent. âEverybody out!â
The soldiers hurried out, leaving all but you and Syverson. He stood by Aikaâs head, rubbing his hands over her ears. Her eyes rolled in their sockets.
You surveyed the damage. Two bullets had torn through the dog, one seemingly lodged in the bone of her thigh.
I can do this, you told yourself. Risking a glance at Syverson, you added, I have to do this.
The captainâs grief would be too much to bear if you failed.
Gathering up your tools, you rolled over a light and shined it down into the wounds. Syverson hovered nearby.
âI need you to let me work.â
Syverson glanced at Aika, his heart rending as he glimpsed her panicked and pain-clouded eyes. âI stay.â
âYouâre no use to me in here,â you said, stepping firmly in his eye line. âIâll do what I can. Just go.â
He stared back, his jaw clenching.
âGo.â
Grinding so loudly you could hear it, Syverson backed out of the tent, his last look directed at Aika. You immediately turned your attention to the dog, free of distraction, and got to work.
~~
When you emerged from the tent, Syverson, seated just outside, leapt to his feet, face taut with worry. You waved him inside.
Aika lay on the table, breathing shallowly but evenly. Her belly and leg were wrapped in bandages already turning red.
âItâs up to her now,â you said.
Syverson walked over to her, placed his hand on her head. The dog, not yet awake, didnât stir beneath his touch.
âWhat happened?â
âShe got shot.â
You tugged on his arm, forcing him to look at you. âSy.â
Passing a hand over his face and beard, he answered, âIâm not sure. It came from over the wall.â
âIâm sorry.â
Shaking his head, Syverson returned his attention to his dog. You gently squeezed his hand, trying to lend him as much strength and assurance as you could. He squeezed back, clenching too tightly. Pain lanced up your arm, but you fought against it.
He needed you.
For the next twenty-four hours, he stayed in the tent. Robinson, his second, took over Syversonâs duties in the interim, giving his captain the time and space he needed to worry over Aika.
It was all you could do to encourage Syverson to eat meager meals and sleep a few hours over the same period.
âSheâs doing well,â you assured him.
Aika had woken earlier in the day, managed to respond to Syversonâs voice. But when she had slipped back into sleep, Syversonâs agitation had returned.
It was infecting you, filling the tent with its terrible energy.
âBabe,â you murmured, drawing his attention. âWaiting around isnât going to help.â
âIâm not leaving her.â
âSy.â
He shook his head. âDonât.â
Raking a hand through your hair, you resigned yourself to weathering the storm of his apprehension. There wasnât much you could do but monitor the dogâs vitals and pray she would recover.
The next day, Aika woke more aware. She tried to get up from the cot you had placed her on. Leaping to his feet, Syverson helped her upright, keeping his hands on her to steady her. She nosed his face and whined before resting her chin on his shoulder.
It was all Syverson could do not to cry.
âDoes this meanâŚ?â he asked, his voice thick.
âLooks like sheâll make it.â
He squeezed his eyes shut, pressed his head against Aikaâs. You retreated behind the partition, giving them space.
A half hour later, Syverson emerged, approached you. You smiled up at him, though it was thin with weariness.
Clearing his throat, he mumbled, âIâm sorry for, you know.â
You leaned back in your chair, rubbed your eyes.
âItâs alright, babe.â
âNo, I shouldnât have snapped at you.â
âItâs alright. But do me a favor?â
âWhat?â
âGet out of here. You can see her later, but you have Warhouse to run.â
Nodding, Syverson turned to go, turned back. Sneaking a glance over his shoulder at the front of the tent, he leaned down and pressed a kiss to your lips. It said the words he struggled to speak aloud: Thank you.

Little Hands (IV)
Series Masterlist
Communication is key.
This is an entry for @star-spangled-bingo 2021. Word count: 2248. Square filled: âSung to Sleepâ
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Reader
Warnings: More Hydra Evilness, More Sad Child, Parental Anxieties. Brief mentions of war, sickness, death, grief.Â
A/N: I know 2.2k words isnât objectively a lot but boy did this feel like it. I hope every word is worth it and that you enjoy! Lmk what you think!!! Also I wonât even lie, the idea of Steveâs kids is 100% from one of my favorite comfort fics, family means no one gets left behind or forgotten, by the genius, the wonderful cosmicocean. ITâS SO SOFT. Pls read it.
Youâre stunned when Bucky tells you whatâs going on. The idea that his daughter (?) was made in a lab like some kind of experiment, and that the man who led said experiment now wants her back like she is his property, his weapon, is too horrid to consider for very long. Weaponizing an innocent child. Hydra.
Bucky gave you the broad strokes of the investigation â currently running on little more than educated guesses based on the meagre intel they have â and has let you know that he has had to recuse himself from the case, due to his⌠personal connection. That leaves him somewhere he finds awkward, to say the least.
It's evident in the way the corners of his lips turn down, how he is constantly rubbing the pads of his fingers against the coarse scratch of denim, while he watches Ana watch Zoya, Steveâs 17-year-old daughter, working on a tablet. Zoya tucks a strand of hair behind her hijab, then continues to draw up a storyboard, narrating the events to the younger girl. Steve had apparently forgotten the lunch his kids had made him at home, so Zoya had brought it in, and decided to stay the day.
Anaâs quiet, attentive for the most part, listening with her full capabilities, but her eyes flit away from the screen every now and then to look at you and Bucky, as if to reassure herself that youâre still there.
Besides that, there arenât all that many distractions present for an already precocious child. Most of the team has dispersed for the investigation, with the exception of Peter, who is sat at a table in the corner making intentionally fruitless efforts at teaching Morgan chess, while she giggles and tries to stack the pieces like Jenga blocks instead.
However, Buckyâs restlessness is infectious, and you think he needs to get it under check before it grows any further. Thatâs why you stand, saying, âCould we go for a little walk, Bucky?â
He nods, man of few words that he is, and leads the way. Youâre sure he knows that you formulated it like a request for his benefit, but he doesnât mention it. Itâs just as well â that he knows you like that, and knows when to accept the proverbial hand being offered.
Bucky takes you to a corner of the roof that youâd mistake for a community garden if you didnât know any better. The Avengers seem to have green thumbs, or at least, a significant portion of them do. Theyâre good with plants, and possessive about them, too. Autumn ferns grow outside the circle they seem to have been planted in â with a sign shouting Wanda! â to invade the territory of a vegetable garden labelled Bruce (accompanied by a Hulkish, green thumbs up presumably not drawn by the man himself). Â
Meticulously maintained daylilies and columbines, in vivid reds and vibrant purples, litter the edges of the path that has been carved through this little paradise, and the birdhouses between them stake the claim of the owner more effectively than a neon sign screaming Sam Wilson. Buckyâs told you about his abilities, how they veer into the decidedly supernatural but Sam insists are only the residue of a childhood with homing pigeons.
Nothing here looks like Buckyâs, though. He seems to be taking it in, perhaps thinking about his own little paradise back in the city, and how heâs chosen to keep it distant from that of his teammates. That worries you. He worries you.
And this, the situation with Anastasia, becoming a father, itâs terrifying. Hell, if it scares you this much, how is he feeling? You ask him as much.
âBucky, are you okay?â
He laughs, softly, disbelievingly, no malice in his scoff, only fear. Only the sound of a voice saturated with consternation and total, complete anxiety. âWould you be?â He asks back.
âThatâs why Iâm asking.â
Bucky evades the questions, turning first one way on the path, and then the other, approaching the edge clear of shrubbery and blooms alike, resting his palms on the top of the wall.
âI canât be a father.â
The solemnity in his tone allows no room for negotiations, but then, neither do the facts. âYou are,â you reply, somewhat hesitantly, because the technicalities of how Ana came to be are still a little blurry to you. Sheâs far from a normal child, and not quite a clone, either. She is of Bucky, though. His, in any way that counts.
âThat little girl was created in a Hydra lab as a super soldier to serve the cause,â he says, shaking his head vigorously as the cause repulses him even more than it does you. âAnd who knows what else she was put through before SHIELD fell and Orlov got her out, and itâs my fault.â
âYou didnâtââ
âI didnât ask for it to happen but it wouldnât have happened if I hadnât happened. They used me to make a super soldier from scratch, and now Iâm supposed to raise her? Itâs not that simple. Iâm not Steve. I canâtâŚâ
Being honest, you feel youâre pretty far out of your depth here. But youâve promised him your help, and youâll do your best.
âYou donât have to. There are other options.â Youâre sure youâre overstepping. Perhaps this gentle companionship has not yet reached the point where you can give advice on parenting. But if you donât, who will? Steve, whose answers donât enter the gray territory Buckyâs mind is residing in right now, who parents like he was born for it?
Steve chose fatherhood. Bucky has been nailed to it like itâs a new cross to bear, heavier than all the previous ones put together.
His gaze roams the grounds that stretch as far as you can see. Youâre both far away from home right now, far outside your comfort zones.
âIâm sorry for dragging you into my mess, sweetheart. Itâs not right. You have things to do, and I shouldnât haveââ
âBucky, Iâve been staring at the same four sentences of dialogue for the past month. I literally could not have been happier to get out of the house. Even if I do wish it was under better circumstances,â you say fervently. Youâre here because he needs you. Because Ana needs you. Itâs nice to be needed.
âThatâs one way to put it,â he smiles, and youâre glad to see it.
âNot to mention, itâs not your fault. Itâs not anyoneâs fault except whoever your team is looking for,â you insist. âAnd Anaâs a sweet girl. A little quiet, but Baba says I was, too.â
This, Bucky thinks about. You wonder if he was a quiet child, too. âWhatâs he like?â
âHmm?â The reverie snaps like a rubber band.
âYour father?â Bucky asks, shyly, his eyes meeting yours, letting you know exactly why heâs asking.
You look up at the clouds, think back to Boston, to time shared between the library and the park. A childhood with books, lunch breaks under a desk in an office at MIT, stealing his glasses and running away with them, rubbing at his stubbly beard like he was a housecat. Inside jokes with your father and rolled eyes with your mother. Laughter and tears, laughter with tears.
After a long while, trying and failing to summarize your father, you say, âA jokester. The most sarcastic person I know. But still kind of neurotic, to be honest. The kind of parent that makes you show up at the airport a full four hours before your flight.â Itâs grossly insufficient. For a writer, youâre not very good with words. You suppose itâs not the words that are the problem; itâs the lifetime they have to encompass. âWhat about yours?â
Bucky sighs. âSoldier. Heâs one thing I donât feel bad for not remembering because it wasnât Hydra that wiped those memories. He just died when I was really small. Survived the Great War only to be killed by TB a few years later at home.â
âIâm sorry.â You avert your eyes. Grief feels private, even decades later, even in the smallest doses.
He shakes his head, smiles fondly, up at the sky, too, like you did. Only, heâs smiling at it, like heâs thinking of someone beyond the clouds. âDonât be. Was a long time ago.â
âThat doesnât mean it isnât allowed to hurt anymore.â
âYou sound like my therapist.â
âI sound like my therapist.â
At this, the two of you look at each other and burst into laughter. It feels forbidden, as though the severity of the situation condemns joy. That isnât fair, you think. The situation is that of a child, and nobody needs laughter more than kids do. Food for the soul.
When the echo of your exhilarations falls, Bucky grows serious once more. âThey have them for kids, now, too, right?â He asks, referring to therapists. âDo you think Anastasia should see one? Sheâs not exactly⌠normal, you know?â
âMaybe.â Itâs a difficult question, but a good indicator of how Bucky is growing to feel about Ana. âYouâd make a good dad, if you wanted to be one, Bucky,â you say, and mean it. Itâs plain as day that he cares about her.
âI canât even remember my own.â
âParental instincts are intuitive, not genetic,â you tell him.
âYou been reading handbooks?â He teases.
âYouâd be surprised by how much you learn from the rabbit holes you fall down while researching books,â you deadpan.
âCan any of that research get the nightmares out of my head? I think it might scare a kid.â
The self-deprecation hurts, but your response is honest, heartfelt. âShe likes you already.â
âShe wonât if she thinks Iâve run away,â he answers, straightening up. He might be trying to evade the conversation, but youâll let him, for now. Heâs gotten some fresh air, had some time to clear his thoughts, or sort them, at least. And so you return, to the little girl who has a tighter grip on both of you than you even realize.
------
Ana grows unsettled as night darkens the sky. It could be the ruckus she isnât quite used to. It could be the toy fire truck Tony has been altering with his utensils to increase its noise output, much to Morganâs amusement. It could be the actual parrot perched on Samâs shoulder.
Whatever the cause, she hasnât succumbed to it enough to make a seat out of the fridge again. Sheâs sitting in her seat, between Bucky and yourself, eating the hummus Bruce and Wanda have made. Nat discusses sniper scopes with Clint, Peter tries to get away with eating the side of vegetables on Jordanâs plate without Steve noticing, and Bucky eats silently, eyes almost constantly on Anastasia, who takes it all in while her knee bounces up and down with an ever-increasing speed, much like her fatherâs.
You excuse yourselves soon after dessert, after Morgan has fallen asleep against Jordanâs arm on the couch, and Steve and Tonyâs friendly debate is starting to develop the edge it tends to when theyâve been bantering for too long.
Bucky sets up on the sectional in his room, and leaves the ridiculously large double bed to you and Anastasia. Itâs been a strange, strange day, and one can only hope that tomorrow brings some ease, a balm for the prickly, fiery ache that has settled over the man you care so much about.
------
When you wake, itâs because of singing. For half a moment, you think youâre in a dream, but as your eyes adjust to the blanket of dark, you see the shadow on the sofa nearby. Only, itâs bigger than just Bucky. Anastasia is sitting on his lap, her head cushioned against his chest. Scrambling for your glasses, and turning on the lamp on the bedside table, you notice that there are trails of drying tears on her little cheeks, and sheâs still shaking with the aftershocks of whatever scare she mustâve had during the night.
Not for the first time, you curse your deep sleep that meant you didnât wake with Ana, but watch in wonder as Bucky sings.
Hush, little baby, don't say a word Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring
Anaâs eyes begin to close, but she fights the sleep. Bucky doesnât let her. He lies down, easing her down beside himself, singing all the while.
And if that diamond ring turns brass Papa's going to buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke Papa's going to buy you a billy goat
His voice fills the room, low though it may be, and he curls himself around Ana.
And if that billy goat won't pull Papa's going to buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull turn over Papa's going to buy you a dog named Rover
She succumbs to the lull of his tone, his song, his promises, sighs a little sigh, lets the last, little hiccup leave her body.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark Papa's going to buy you a horse and cart
And if that horse and cart fall down You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town
Bucky lifts his hand from where it was stroking the hair at her temple, and lays his arm over his daughter. Theyâre safe, for now. Together.
