Note
Could you do something with either 1999 James or like SKOM James where heâs touring and couldnât bring reader with him, calls reader one night just to hear her voice to get himself off before telling her how to touch herself?
A/n: There's just something about James saying puss/pussy that makes me want to find him and choke on his cock
Warnings: Smut, masturbation, auralism (new word alert: getting turned on by the sound of someone's voice *cough cough me when Slash sings*), sexual fantasies, sexualising readers body (it says somewhere that reader has big tits too but like talking about readers body jiggling as they work out), fingering (f receiving), if you think I missed anything let me know otherwise enjoy!

You were making yourself breakfast when the phone rang and you picked it up. A collect call meant it was James, so you accepted because he would pay for it when he got home anyway.
"Jamie?" You spoke. "How are you, you're in Japan right now, right?" You asked, doing the mental maths in your head, if it was nine in the morning in L.A. where you lived it should be roughly two in the morning there, why he was calling so late you had no idea. Well, concerts could go late, you supposed, but why call now?
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm in Tokyo." He said, voice shaky and the words were forced out fast. "Listen, I'm, uh, in- I'm busy, I need you to talk." He mumbled, you could hear a faint rustling in the background but didn't pay any mind to it.
"It's late there, Jamie, you should be sleeping," you said, ever the worry wart for your dumbass boyfriend, "you can call me tomorrow."
"No!" James yelled, making you jump. "No, I-I can't, ngh- just-just talk to me now." He said through gritted teeth, glaring at the phone in his hand as he waited for you to say something, his other hand moving vigorously over his achingly hard cock.
You started to realize what he was doing, a small smirk spreading over your face at the situation you found yourself in. "Oh, well, I just woke up not too long ago... slept in that Motorhead shirt of yours, you know, the one with the skull?" James groaned over the call, making you giggle. You often wore his shirts, and he loved it, mostly he loved fucking your brains out with you in them.
Hearing his grunts and groans only encouraged you to keep going. "I'm wearing those panties you like, the maroonish lacey ones, you know which ones I'm talking about?"
"Mhm, I know." He mumbled, breathing getting heavier. He slowed his thrusts, closing his eyes and letting you paint him a picture.
"Yeah, they're pretty." You said, scrambling your eggs. "I woke up this morning and my thighs were all sticky, must've had a pretty good dream of you." A low groan left him, picturing his cum smeared between your thighs instead of your own need.
James heard the sizzling of your cooking, the pop of the butter in the pan. "What's that?" He asked curiously. "What're you doing?"
"Oh, that's just my pretty pussy, so hot it's sizzling just for you, Jamie." You said with a nuclear amount of sarcasm, but hearing you say 'pussy' still got him going. "I'm making eggs because it's morning, need my protein if I'm gonna go on a run."
"Please-" he sputtered out, "talk to me, tell me more." He pleaded, getting desperate as his hand moved faster. "Please, m'so close, make you cum after, just- fuck." You couldn't deny that hearing him getting off to your voice over the phone was hot, and you could feel your pulse in your clit, pressing your thighs together to soothe the dull ache forming between your legs.
You kept pushing your eggs around, they were almost done. "Think I'm gonna steal another shirt of yours, might put pants on-" James grunted at that, while he loved picturing your ass jiggle as you ran that was for his eyes and his eyes alone, "You're just thinking about my tits, though, huh? Thinking of them bouncing up and down as I go... fucking pervert."
James hummed in agreement. "Yes, I am, I'm a pervert just for you, sweetheart." He stated, hips bucking up into his hand as he got closer. "Just-just a little more, can you do that?"
You chuckled and nodded, not that he could see it. "Yeah, I can talk a little more... let's see..." You trailed, pausing just to hear him whine. "I might have to skip out on my run, stay home... I'm just so hot already, I might have to take my clothes off... at least I know where the security camera's are, I'll be sure to avoid sitting in front of those and spreading my legs... can't have any pesky visitors watching me touch myself without my big, strong man to come protect me... too bad he's not hear to bend me over and double my weight, huh?"
James's groans got louder and louder as you spoke, you could hear the slick sound of him using his pre-cum as lube on his angry red cock. The sounds he made when he came to the thought of you touching yourself. "Hah-! Fuck- ah- oh god..." You could picture him now, all flushed and tired, cumming dripping down his chest. "Sweetheart." He called, swallowing thickly between heavy breaths.
"Yes, Jamie?" You asked, taking your finished eggs off the burner.
"Go find one of those security camera's." He ordered, getting off the bed and digging through his bags to find his laptop so he could pull up the live footage.
"Why?" You asked, only slightly confused.
"Because you're going to sit there, and I'm going to watch your tiny little fingers work so fucking hard to get you off and get you nowhere, right?" He asked. "Because you're so small, need my fingers to get you off, can't even think about cumming without something stretching you out, right?"
Your eyes widened slightly but you followed his instructions to find a camera. "If you're good I'll let you grab a toy, otherwise you can sit there and work your pretty puss into nothing trying to get off without me."

hey! im sorry to make another post like this, but i feel like i need to say some things. because honestly, if i donât, i wonât be able to move on from it.
further text under the cut because i donât want to flood your feed with this
when i posted that anon message, i wasnât expecting.. well, anything, really. i just felt very awful, i dumped my feelings out because i got emotional and i was ready to just delete this app and not come back. i thought, okay, thatâs it, i embarrassed myself for the last time, im done. but when i came back, suddenly there were all these kind messages from people telling me they care, and i think itâs only because of you all that iâm still here. you all mean so much to me, i donât think iâve ever felt this supported in my entire life. i donât know what i did to deserve this kind of kindness, but it means everything to me. so thank you, thank you so much to everyone who didnât just walk past me when i needed it the most, i really needed to hear that. i cant help but smile when reading your words. i appreciate each of you.
the truth is, that anon text hit me like a knife to the chest. and i hate that it did. i hate that i let a random person make me feel sick about my own hobby, my own blog and everything iâve ever shared here. but the thing is iâve always felt this way. hesitant, always unsure if i even have the right to take up space here, i guess a lot of that comes from the friendships i used to have.
because ive always been that friend. the one who listens, who gives. whoâs always there when someone needs to vent, to cry, to talk about their passions, struggles or random thoughts. and i never minded, i loved being there for people. but when i tried to share smth about me, it was always met with indifference. like what i had to say wasnât worth anything. and after years of that, i started believing it myself. even now, posting this, i still feel awkward. like, itâs hard for me to even write this without thinking, should i delete this before anyone sees it? thatâs where the anxiety comes from and itâs smth im still working through
so when that anon said what they did, it was like hearing all of my worst thoughts spoken out loud. as if they reached inside my brain, pulled out every insecurity iâve ever had, and threw it right in my face. ive always felt like im being too annoying. i know i post a lot, but every time i cant help but feel so cringe about it. and i fight it because i dont like being constantly embarrassed for just being myself, but itâs exhausting.
so yeah, when i saw that message, i just felt so damn embarrassed about everything, like i was making a fool of myself this entire time and just didnât realize it and i hate feeling that way.
and the part that really got to me was the comparison. it hurt more than anything, it made me feel like no matter how hard i try, ill never be enough, that all the effort, all the time, all the small moments of pride i let myself have were just misplaced. i know Iâm not perfect, i know there are better writers, faster writers or just people who seem to create more interesting ideas or plots or describe characters way better, but i didnt mind? i mean i was just trying to find space where i can express myself without fear, but then that comparison just made me feel so sick of myself. like âoh look, theyâre better, so mb you should just give up.â it made me feel like i donât have the right to take up space here at all
its hard to explain, but that comparison just made me feel like i was less than
i wouldnât say iâm a perfectionist, but i am very critical of my writing. i put a lot of effort into my stuff, especially since english isnât my first language. itâs twice as hard to make sure my sentences are right, that i didnât mess up the grammar, that i used the right words. and when you pour so much effort into smth and then someone just comes and shits all over it, it kills any desire to create or continue smth. makes you feel like maybe you shouldnât create anything else. hell, i know that sounds dramatic, but thatâs how it feels. and i hate that iâm letting this ruin smth i loved
and the part about taking too long to update... i donât know what to say to that, iâm not a machine, i write when my brain lets me. when i have an idea, an image in my head, when i feel inspired. and i did have inspiration. i spent a whole week writing that last fic, actually enjoying the process, i felt proud of it, which is rare for me. excited to share it with people. and for what?
and the worst part is, i was planning to start posting my art too. i wanted to finally get out of my comfort zone, to share smth iâve been afraid to share for so long. but if this is the kind of reaction i get for just writing, then what the hell is gonna happen when i post art? i blocked the last anon who sent me hate, so this is someone new then? meaning thereâs two people now who actively dislike me enough to go out of their way to make sure i know. and i know, i know, i shouldnât care about whether people like me or not. but fuck, itâs hard, iâm a professional overthinker, and unfortunately, i donât think iâll be quitting that job anytime soon.
i already had so much going on in my personal life. so much i was trying to get off my mind by being here, writing, sharing things that make me happy, talking with people. and then i open this app and see that, and suddenly itâs like, whatâs even the point?
i know iâm being a sensitive crybaby. i hate to be this way. and i get that itâs the internet, and people can be jerks and assholes. but i REALLY donât understand how much poison you have to have in yourself to send this hateful shit to a complete stranger. i just donât get it. iâve never left hate on anything, not even on stuff that isnât for me. it just feels so pointless?
and as for the thing about Stanâs speech in my fics - im not american. english isnât even my first language. and you have no idea how much effort it takes to get his voice even close to what it should be, he is one of the hardest characters for me to write. so fuck you, anon, you suck. genuinely
but... as much as that anonâs words gutted me, the kindness i received in response meant even more, it reminded me of why im here in the first place. to share things i love, to create, to talk with people who actually care. what im trying to say is thank you for making me feel less alone. iâm honestly just.. overwhelmed, in the best way. i was drowning in self-doubt, and your kindness and support pulled me out. i donât take it for granted. i love all of you âĄâĄ ive read all your messages, and ive never felt SO damn appreciated

Chapter 10.3 - If You Give a Fae a Cookie
Akira arrives at Aliceâs dorm, his emotions ricocheting every which way. He should fulfill his promise; as a general rule, fae donât like to be bound. But apparently, there is an exceptionâone Akira didnât even know existed until he met her. Every night he goes to sleep feeling the vibration of the threads connecting them and it's beyond satisfying.
Like âpleasure starting at the base of his spine and spreading through his whole bodyâ satisfying.   Â

And besides, what if he fulfills this promise and then never hears from her again? Better to stall and do something else in the meantime.

He turns to the stairs, flashing her a confident smile as she hops down the last few steps. âYou wanna go somewhere fun?â He likes the look sheâs giving himâamused and suspicious, maybe a little challenging.Â
âI think you want to go somewhere fun so you can get out of watching the greatest show known to man.â

âThe quality of 7 Wild Dates is debatable,â Akira smirks. âBut that show ainât going nowhere, and thereâs a pub on campus, so come on.âÂ
âEh, I was just there a few nights agoâŚâ Alice hedges.
âBut I wasnât there and weâll probably have the place to ourselves.â
Which, thank the Gods. It was bad enough heâd have to use actual money. Being stuck in a place teeming with students sounded horrific. Literallyâhis hearing was excellent. Not only were college students loud as shit, he sometimes found it difficult to tune out the sounds of their chewing and breathing and heartbeats.Â

âYeahâŚactually, now that you say it, that place is dead in the middle of the weekâŚâ Alice sighs.

Akira scrambles to figure out what heâs done wrong. Theyâd been talking for weeks and it didnât matter what he was doing; he never missed her call. Two days ago, he cut out a vampireâs tongue during an interrogation so Alice wouldn't hear him screaming in the background and get distracted. He listened to her complain about a project on art forgeries while covered in blood, and heâd never been happier.Â
Maybe she was worried about Vladislaus? But soon that wouldnât matter. Her boyfriend was going to be his boyfriend too, unless she was really opposed to that sort of thing.
Gods, please donât let her be opposed to that sort of thing. Â
âItâs Half-Priced Burgers night,â he offers half-heartedly.Â

âFor real?â Her eyes light up. When Alice smiles, itâs like everything around him brightens. Heâs mesmerized by it, which is how he ends up careening towards the floor when she shoves past him.
âHoly shit! You should have led with that. I love burgers!â

He hits the floor hard, the base of his spine vibrating in the non-pleasurable way.Â
So much for cat-like reflexes.


At the pub, food finally in hand, they pick up the conversation about her class project and talk about her theories on the latest season of Tea & Treacheryâa topic that only interests Akira because itâs something Alice and Vlad both like. He constantly angles his head, hoping sheâll notice his ears, but it doesnât give him the reaction he wanted.

âDo you have a migraine?â she asks.
âWhat?â
Alice squints. âYou keep turning your head. Thatâs what I do when I have a migraine.â

âNo, I donât have a fuckinâ migraine,â he scowls. âYou donât notice anything?â

âNot really.â She sucks on her straw and gives him an innocent look, but he spots her hand sliding over to his container.

âWhat are you doing?â he demands, moving it out of her reach.
âFueling my brain so I can tell you more about art forgeries.â
âWith my burger?â Akira jumps out of his seat when she reaches again. âWhat happened to yours?âÂ
She leans forward, causing the legs of the barstool to rattle precariously. âI ate it to establish a baseline.â

âA baseline of what?â Akira laughs, backing away until sheâs forced to get out of her seat.Â
âSatisfaction! That burger is tired of your shit!â
Tucking it behind his back, he gives her a look of mock-seriousness. âThis burger doesnât get a say. I bought it and Iâm eating it.â

âSee! Burger cruelty! I am making a citizenâs arrest!â She reaches again, but Akira arches his back, holding it above her head, enjoying this chase. For elves, courtship is a bloody affair, but keeping a burger away from Alice is close enough. Â
âAre you for real?â he grumbles jokingly.Â

âYes! I am for real starving. I need that burger! You promised.â
It was never a promise and Akira should care, but he doesnât. âHave you ever stolen anything?â he teases, âYouâre supposed to snatch it before I notice, not creep by at the speed of molasses and then chase me down.â

They struggle for a little while longer until Alice groans and gives up.Â
âI was not that slow! And that burger wants to be in my belly,â she insists. âAnd I was not stealing it. I was trying to help free it from your tyranny.â
âYou are nuts.â He shakes his head with a chuckle. âHere you can have my fries.â

âThank you.â
Alice canât see it, but little threads of magic stretch out from her, begging for him to grab hold of them. They snap and bite at his skin, tantalizing and chaotic, a million possible fates spilling from their hidden mouths, tempting him to take control and make one true.
He freezes, knuckles turning white as he grips the edge of the table. Glamour is a hell of a power. âDonât do that,â he bites out.
Alice frowns, âDonât do what?â

I want to step away from the art-vs-artist side of the Gaiman issue for a bit, and talk about, well, the rest of it. Because those emotions you're feeling would be the same without the art; the art just adds another layer.
Source: I worked with a guy who turned out to be heavily involved in an international, multi-state sex-slavery/trafficking ring.
He was really nice.
Yeah.
It hits like a dumptruck of shit. You don't feel stable in your world anymore. How could someone you interacted with, liked, also be a truly horrible person? How could your judgement be that bad? How can real people, not stylized cartoon bogeymen, be actually doing this shit?
You have to sit with the fact that you couldn't, or probably couldn't, have known. You should have no guilt as part of this horror â but guilt is almost certainly part of that mess you're feeling, because our brains do this associative thing, and somehow "I liked [the version of] the guy [that I knew]", or his creations, becomes "I made a horrible mistake and should feel guilty."
You didn't, loves, you didn't.
We're human, and we can only go by the information we have. And the information we have is only the smallest glimpse into someone else's life.
I didn't work closely with the guy I knew at work, but we chatted. He wasn't just nice; he was one of the only people outside my tiny department who seemed genuinely nice in a workplace that was rapidly becoming incredibly toxic. He loaned me a bike trainer. Occasionally he'd see me at the bus stop and give me a lift home.
Yup. I was a young woman in my twenties and rode in this guy's car. More than once.
When I tell this story that part usually makes people gasp. "You must feel so scared about what could have happened to you!" "You're so lucky nothing happened!"
No, that's not how it worked. I was never in danger. This guy targeted Korean women with little-to-no English who were coerced and powerless. A white, fluent, US citizen coworker wasn't a potential victim. I got to be a person, not prey.
Y'know that little warning bell that goes off, when you're around someone who might be a danger to you? That animal sense that says "Something is off here, watch out"?
Yeah, that doesn't ping if the preferred prey isn't around.
That's what rattled me the most about this. I liked to think of myself as willing to stand up for people with less power than me. I worked with Japanese exchange students in college and put myself bodily between them and creeps, and I sure as hell got that little alarm when some asian-schoolgirl fetishist schmoozed on them. But we were all there.
I had to learn that the alarm won't go off when the hunter isn't hunting. That it's not the solid indicator I might've thought it was. That sometimes this is what the privilege of not being prey does; it completely masks your ability to detect the horrors that are going on.
A lot of people point out that 'people like that' have amazing charisma and ability to lie and manipulate, and that's true. Anyone who's gotten away with this shit for decades is going to be way smoother than the pathetic little hangers-on I dealt with in university. But it's not just that. I seriously, deeply believe that he saw me as a person, and he did not extend personhood to his victims. We didn't have a fake coworker relationship. We had a real one. And just like I don't know the ins-and-outs of most of my coworkers lives, I had no idea that what he did on his down time was perpetrate horrors.
I know this is getting off the topic, but it's so very important. Especially as a message to cis guys: please understand that you won't recognize a creep the way you might think you will. If you're not the preferred prey, the hind-brain alarm won't go off. You have to listen to victims, not your gut feeling that the person seems perfectly nice and normal. It doesn't mean there's never a false accusation, but face the fact that it's usually real, and you don't have enough information to say otherwise.
So, yeah. It fucking sucks. Writing about this twists my insides into tense knots, and it was almost a decade ago. I was never in danger. No one I knew was hurt!
Just countless, powerless women, horrifically abused by someone who was nice to me.
You don't trust your own judgement quite the same way, after. And as utterly shitty as it is, as twisted up and unstead-in-the-world as I felt the day I found out â I don't actually think that's a bad thing.
I think we all need to question our own judgement. It makes us better people.
I don't see villains around every corner just because I knew one, once. But I do own the fact that I can't know, really know, about anyone except those closest to me. They have their own full lives. They'll go from the pinnacles of kindness to the depths of depravity â and I won't know.
It's not a failing. It's just being human. Something to remember before you slap labels on people, before you condemn them or idolize them. Think about how much you can't know, and how flawed our judgement always is.
Grieve for victims, and the feeling of betrayal. But maybe let yourself off the hook, and be a bit slower to skewer others on it.
#listen to old auntie Shades#serious#fuck I don't know how to tag this#I should probably read-more this but I'm not sure where#and now I need to go take a walk for my stupid mental health#you never stop processing#you do it over and over and over and over#and hope it gets a bit easier each time#Someone might get upset by using prey#but 'preferred prey' is an important concept from the predator's view#it doesn't mean the people are inherently prey#you feel me?#it's the best word I can find for the concept#neil gaiman#adjacent

Suddenly thinking about seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo and about how there has got to be an intimacy in sharing a story, no matter if you hate each other after. Even if the story is less confession than fact
#personal;#i am OBSESSED with 7 husbands#let me tell you the distress i feel knowing Taylor Jenkins Reed is booktok famous when i love all of her books in this universe#(and most of her others)#but 7 husbands fuckin rewired my brain#i bought two whole copies of it#specifically so one i can mark up with all the things i love amd drive me fuckin nuts#but i haven't gotten to that#bc i can't like. read with my eyes much these days#no focus or executive function#but the book is there#i should listen to it again#wonder how long the hold queue is for my library#anyway someone talk to me about 7 husbands i am fuckin feral about it#<- says the bitch with the inbox still closed bc fundraising scams#but also#(and also not now i need to go to bed it's late (for me)

My advice as someone who has shifted many times
Got some really sweet comments on my last post, and I decided I should probably get myself over my fear of posting here. I just love everyone in this community, you're all family to međ
First, and most importantly, coffee:

When I posted my introduction here, a couple of months ago, I felt like I was already quite an experienced shifter. 4 kids, the most amazing husband, a life outside of this reality longer than I lived within it.
Looking back on it now, more than 500 years later, 3 more kids, 4 grandchildren, I was almost like a baby still, and even at this moment in time, I feel like I'm only at the start of my journey.
However, for the people that know my tiktok account, I have shifted to a lot of places by now. Experienced immortality as a human, as a deity, I've seen different cultures practice shifting, and taught shifting to every single one of me and my husband's children.
My main purpose in coming back here, is to help others achieve what I finally managed after years of trying. I want you all to pursue your dreams, and find the infinite happiness you so deserve.
So here is some advice:
Shifting itself is extremely simple. You want something, you get it. The concept of the reality that we're in doesn't allow for instant 'manifestations', but that doesn't mean you can't do it. It just means that, this reality by itself, doesn't have the rule of ''you desire something = you get it.'' That's where humans came up with the term ''manifestation,'' but it's simple really; you persist in wanting something, so you shift somewhere you have it. How easy that is can depend on the person, but every single one is capable of doing it, it's not technically any more difficult.
There are realities out there where, ''you want something'' does equal ''you get it,'' the term manifestation wouldn't even exist in those places, it's just as natural as it is for you here to feel as though you struggle attracting your desires.
I do not want to be rude to anyone, but there is no key to shifting. Anyone claiming they have the method to shift, or know the key to it, is overcomplicating it. Shifting is shifting, you don't need anything for it. Just existing, being aware, that's all you need to shift. HOW you do it, depends on the person. Assumptions, methods, intention, they're all tools to help you, but they're not the key.
You can shift while showering, while taking a dump, you can jump in the air and yell ''Yippie!!!'' to shift if you would believe that it works. An actual method? A joke method? There's no difference between them. The only real difference? You assume one to work, and one to not do anything, and that's where our limited mindsets are created.
I've seen so many different groups by now. People that shifted through meditation, through rituals, a group that would quite literally dive into a lake that they saw as magic, but also people that simply just, decided they wanted it, and shifted seconds later. They were raised with those beliefs, so they work for them.
And you here? You're raised in a society that tells you that you have to work for what you want, that a dream life is impossible, nothing is for free. And then you wonder why you struggle with shifting, why it's so hard to believe that you can do something so incredibly simple. Your struggles are valid, it is not your fault.
As an awareness you're so much more than the 3d, you're so much more than the body or brain you're aware of. You're simply a guest in this body, until it expires or you choose yourself to move on, but that doesn't take away that while you're here, you have to deal with your experiences, memories, and taught mindsets from this place.
That's why, the biggest advice I can give you, is to listen to yourself. Not society, not other people, no one who tries to tell you that they know ''the way.'' If someone's method aligns with you, that is amazing, and definitely put it to practice. But don't force yourself to go through methods and practices that don't feel right for you. If you dread doing it, it's not for you. Find something fun, something that fits your routines and beliefs.
Remember that time has no meaning. 5 days, 5 months, it's not going to matter in 3000 years. Literally nothing can stop your existence, nothing that could happen to you in this reality can ever stop you from existing.
There is no pressure, eternity is waiting for you, be kind to yourself. You are exactly where you're meant to be. It doesn't matter how you shift, so don't make it a chore. Script, create scenarios, daydream, make up your own rituals or find the most fun ways to set intention. You don't need hour long methods of counting, starfish positions and difficult affirmations. Your desires are already heard, your subconscious already knows where you want to go, so enjoy the ride until you get theređ

Imagine best friend Mattheo being absolutely obsessed with his innocent little Hufflepuff bsf but she just canât tell. Everyone else knows, and it is quite obvious, but she just canât think someone like him would want someone like her. But when she jokingly says sheâs gonna get Cedric to take her virginity he decides itâs time he came clean.
Possibly with some soft smut if you are comfortable with it of course
bsf mattheo riddle x hufflepuff reader
hopefully this matches your request <3 iâll most likely make a part 2 for this because.. youâll see ;) 3.5k words
you lived a rather simple uncomplicated life, attending hogwarts as a hufflepuff with no interest in anyoneâs drama. though you kept to yourself most times you tried to be nice to all your peers maintaining your classic hufflepuff demeanor, despite this there was one thing that was different about you.
you see, you didnât see or understand why people donât like other houses just because of âhouse rivalryâ especially the students who werenât even participating in any sports or point winning. and with this over your years though you had few friends you had one best friend who at first seemed rather impossible to be friends with.. mattheo riddle.
when you two met you were a fourth year and him a fifth, coincidentally you were going on to a few friends about your annoyance with people automatically assuming the worst of slytherin even though you yourself werenât in their house or nearly like one. mattheo overheard this heated- adorable voice coming from behind him and he walked towards you carefully.
he sat down in front of you beside your friend as she gawked faces towards you at his presence. âyou donât think weâre too mean, huh?â he questioned small laugh leaving his lips. âi just think that some people are misunderstood and just because some wizards turned out bad doesnât mean all of them in your house areâ you looked at him answering his question with ease
he smirked in amusement and leaned a little closer to you âhm, hufflepuff eh? what year are you puff?â he sat back examining you and you didnât fail to notice that nickname he slipped in âfourth year but i have an early birthday which is annoying because i could technically be out soonerâ you sighed ignoring his staring.
âwell, seeing as itâs ravenclaw against gryffindor do you wanna watch the quidditch game with me i know the best viewâ he stood up and held his hand out for you, you look towards your friends and theyâre both nodding their heads for you to go so you did.
from that point on you and mattheo had been best friends, sadly he was in his seventh year and now you in your sixth nothing much had changed in your life. living vicariously through mattheo and his stories about slytherin parties and how you should go to one with him before itâs too late, heâd tell you about his sexual adventures and your jaw would drop everytime.
you yourself also confided in him though with much less interesting things, telling him how you feel unlikeable by guys sometimes because they never try to get or talk to you, or how you feel lonely because youâve never had a a boyfriend before. hed always help soothe the thoughts away, telling you that itâs only your brain making those things up , âlisten y/n, anyone who doesnât love you is fucking insaneâ.
đ
talking to your friend zarah whoâd been there since day one you always told her what you told matt, for the most part. âi just donât get why nobody is interested in me zar, like am i genuinely that uglyâ you plopped onto your bed sighing dramatically. âyouâre not ugly and if you think no guys want you youâre blind i know one in particular that really, really wants youâ she giggled.
you looked at her with a confused expression âi must be missing something because i have no idea who youâre talking aboutâ you awaited her response and she just rolled her eyes and sighed âgirl your practically boyfriend of a best friend you do everything withâ she gave you a duh look and you just laughed. you genuinely couldnât believe sheâd even think heâd like you especially with all the girls heâd been with, âyouâre hilarious, we both know he doesnât want me he wants all the girls he tells me aboutâ you started to compose yourself but zarahâs expression didnât change.
âyou literally must be blind y/n do you need glasses? or should i say puff? letâs talk about how that man hasnât stopped calling you that pet name since youâve met.. heâs in loveâ she rolled her eyes raising her hands in the air. âi still donât think he wants me so thereâs no convincing meâ you shrugged her off and she groaned getting up and leaving your shared dorm.
đ
âpuff you gotta come to this party, slytherin won agains gryffindor i just know this is gonna be the party you want to go to pleaseeeâ mattheo put his hands on your shoulders shaking you âfiineeâ you attempted to answer between shakes before he let you go âif i wouldâve known it was that easy i wouldâve done that years agoâ he rolled his eyes.
âanyways itâs tonight at like 8 so iâll just get you from your dorm at like 7 do you think theyâll let me in? actually whatâs the password?â he didnât give you time to finish any of your sentences before you just gave him the password âbutterscotchâ you whispered, in response mattheo laughed âfucking butterscotch merlin thatâs hilariousâ you looked up at him and rolled your eyes walking away.
âiâll see you at 7 puffâ he yelled across the hall and you just gave a thumbs up and continued walking. you honestly were quite nervous seeing as youâve never necessarily been to a party before, youâve made small appearances at hufflepuff parties but youâve heard they donât even compare to slytherin.
making your way into your dorm you spot zarah and you pull her up from the common room couch âi finally said yes to a party need help nowâ you quickly mumbled and she quickened her pace âwhen does it start girl i need the info right this second come on youâre talking too long for meâ she rushed and you blurted it all out â8pm heâs getting me at 7 he has the password he will be at the dormâ closing the door behind you two you both stopped to catch your breath
âsooo is it a dateeeâ she shimmied her arm on you winking âi already told you he doesnât like me!!â you replied to her relentlessness. âugh whatever we need to get you ready girl itâs already sixâ she pushed you onto your shared vanity chair and pulled out all of your makeup and a few things of hers, âcreative control?â she asked smirking at you âmm fine but not too muchâ you agreed âweâll seeâ she giggled.
after around 30 minutes she finished your makeup and she showed you the finished product, looking at yourself in the mirror you thought how you never wouldâve put on red lipstick yet you feel really good in it. she gave you a small smokey eye and a small winged liner and you felt you looked more aggressive then you were, but you kinda loved it.
âitâs so much but so prettyâ you admired yourself and the makeup she put on you slowly getting used to the feeling of fake eyelashes on your eyes. âiâm so glad you love it, but we need to find an outfit like three hours agoâ she joked and rushed to your closets âi actually have the perfect dress in mind if youâre feeling the want to rep slytherin greenâ she raised her eyebrows up at you in a suggestive matter âsure why notâ you shrugged
she handed you a velvet body con forest green dress that you were sure was going to be extremely short and you mean in every place. she held it up onto you âthis will be perfect. get it on come onâ she rushed you into the bathroom and you began putting it on âthis is sooo tightâ you called out as you struggled âoh i forgot it was a corset back wait i need to help you can i come inâ she yelled through the door
âyeah come on i need this thing one me alreadyâ you struggled more as she walked in and immediately began to help you loosening the strings of the dress and pulling it down onto you âthere we go now suck in like your life depends on itâ she said half jokingly and began retightening the corset back. with every pull it felt like your chest was spilling out more and more and your ribs were shrinking âokay merlin thatâs enough before i canât breatheâ you huffed and she stopped tying it off in a bow
âstop you look so hot y/n i bet matt will be droolingâ she teased and you just rolled your eyes âwhat do we do with my hairâ you looked at her with horror as you only had ten minutes before he should arrive. you quickly began curling your hair not really caring if it was messy just giving it some body and just as you were spraying perfume on there was a knock on your door.
zarah looked at you and whispered âanswer it go go nowâ she pointed to the door like she was afraid to touch it herself and you walked over opening it to see mattheo in an all black button down with the top few buttons undone and black dress looking pants yet somehow he didnât look overdressed. he didnât say anything for a minute he was just staring at you looking up and down in awe âholy fuck y/n who did your makeup you look woahâ he put his finger on your chin moving your head around examining your makeup
âzarah isnât it prettyâ you smiled and he removed his hand and replied âyeah you are, now letâs goâ he grabbed your hand and you looked behind you waving bye to zarah âheâs so in love with youâ she whispered before the door slammed closed.
đ
once you got the the party you noticed there were already many slytherins already pregaming and mattheo brought you two to them, âletâs get some alcohol in you little puffâ he winked and poured you a shot of who knows what, you smelled the foul drink and it made your nose burn âcome on do itttâ he cheered on and you held your nose throwing the shot back gagging at the taste. âhow do people enjoy thatâ you made a face at him âlike thisâ he replied taking two shots himself, ânow catch upâ he winked pouring you yet another
âif i didnât know any better id say youâre trying to get me drunk mattâ you laughed and he looked at you amused âobviously thatâs what im trying to do itâs a partyâ he put the shot glass to your lips and you parted them taking the burning substance down your throat, âeugh that didnât get any better the second timeâ you shook your head in disgust. âhm, let me make you an actual drinkâ he grabbed a clear liquor and a red juice mixing them together adding more alcohol than your past two shots and handed it to you
âmatt this smells foulâ you looked up at him, âjust try it trust me the slytherins have the masking drink downâ he winked and you reluctantly took a sip, and to your surprise all you tasted was juice. after taking another few sips you quick began drinking it and mattheo pulled the cup from your lips âslow down there this shits dangerous youâll get so drunk you wonât be able to walk straightâ he chuckled. âitâs not my fault they made it taste like juiceâ you shrugged still sipping.
âhey mattheo have your little hufflepuff take some shots with usâ enzo threw his arm around your shoulders and mattheo pushed them off almost immediately âno she doesnât need any shotsâ he spoke âyou didnât even ask meâ you protested, granted you didnât necessarily want to take any shots you just didnât like being talked for. âoo are you sure youâre not slytherin you got an attitudeâ enzo laughed handing you a shot and you looked at mattheo who rolled his eyes as you took the shot.
throwing the shot back the burning sensation took over your throat and you could feel it rushing down your throat. you coughed a bit and chugged your drink for comfort âpuff youâre going to get shitfaced slow downâ matt fully took your cup this time and you were already feeling it. giggling looking up at him âokay now who was going to tell me partyâs are funâ you continued giggling.
the music started playing and the slytherin common room was now getting more and more packed. you saw fifth year students and up in here, even a few ravenclaw and hufflepuffs your recognized. to your surprise in the corner of the party you spotted cedric diggory talking to a group of girls holding a drink.
pansy noticed your head being stuck in a certain direction and followed your eyes âoh em gee, someoneâs got their eyes on a certain hufflepuffâ she winked shoving her shoulder at your âshhhhh heâs just nice to look atâ you giggled at her and she giggled along âyou two would be soo cuteâ she added dragging you back to the drinks
âletâs take some shots!â she exclaimed handing you two , you took them smiling and shot them back with her, a woo leaving her mouth. âhere chaser, chaser!â she shouted handing you another drink this time what looked like a lot of the punch, downing it all she laughed âgirl weâre gonna be goneâ. looking around you were seeing doubles of everything but didnât want the night to already end.
âso, are you a virgin?â pansy shouted over the music making your already alcohol flushed face even redder âpansy!! you canât just ask that!!â you shouted back flustered at the intrusive question, âiâm only curious girlâ she giggled and gave you begging eyes âcome onnnnâ she shook you till you gave in âfine yes i am but donât tell anyone!â you replied back as lowly as you could over the music
âwho would you lose it to?â she giggled âi lost mine to blaise hehe sshhhhâ she winked, considering she just told you her secret you felt obligated and just looked around âi mean i guess cedricâ you giggled as she pointed at him after your response. before she could say anything else you felt a pair of hands wrap around your waist and drag you off. trying to kick your way out was useless and they brought you to an empty dorm.
through all of this you couldnât tell who it was kicking and screaming for them to let you go till you heard mattheos voice âpuff calm down itâs just meâ he sighed putting you down on what you now assumed was his bed âwhy did you bring me in here that was so scaryâ you huffed trying to gain your composure. âdiggory?â he scoffed not answering your question.
you looked at him confused as to what he was on about âwhat do you mean? what about cedricâ you cocked your head to the side in confusion âyou lost your virginity to him??â he questioned stepping closer to you looking rather.. pissed. you just laughed in response âme? lose my virginity to cedric?.. youâre funnyâ yeah you fantasized about it but it certainly wouldnât happen.
âwhat were you talking to pansy about then??â he looked at you unconvinced, âshe asked if i lost it and i said no, but id let him take it.-â you shrugged âbesides you know i tell you everything matt iâve never even had a boyfriend let alone a guy be interested in my virginityâ you sighed laying back onto the bed now feeling upset.
you heard mattheo sigh and you picked your head up to look at him, his eyes stared back at you in silence before breaking it âbelieve me thereâs a lot of guys who want to get in your pantsâ he rubbed his fists and you gave him a confused expression yet again âwhat are you on about matt?â you were getting sober just from all of this extra mystery.
he walked over to the bed sitting beside you, âlisten when we met you were just.. blooming completely and i would be lying if i didnât say i first went up to you because of your looks.. well overtime you know we became friends and i noticed other guys staring in ways they shouldnât have been so i had to teach them a lesson.â he looked at you and yo didnât know how to respond to something like that.
âwhat exactly are you saying matt?â you didnt understand what he was poking at, did matt mean to say he basically likes you? were you reading too much into this? âlook y/n, no one else in this school fucking deserves you. hell i donât deserve you but i know i can treat you how you need. donât ask me what took so long to confess to you y/n, but do you feel even remotely the same?â he let it all out quick and fast, and your mouth dropped.
âyou want.. me?â you looked at him in disbelief and he just smiled âthatâs what that whole speech was about, yeahâ he chuckled nervously awaiting your reply âwhy?â you sighed still slightly unconvinced âhave you fucking seen yourself puff? youâre so undeniably gorgeous, i donât know how i hold myself back from you everydayâ he leaned in closer to you making this all seem more real. without thinking you allowed yourself to lean into him, faces and lips meeting for the most magical first kiss you couldâve ever imagined.
âyouâre so fucking beautiful y/nâ he grabbed your face pulling you closer to him till you straddled over his lap sitting down continuing the now makeout. âthis is so much better than.. imaginedâ you huffed through the kisses. you could already feel mattheos member growing beneath you and you never thought youâd be the one experiencing this from your best friend.
youâd be lying if you didnât admit to a fantasy or two about him in the past but this was already one thousand times better than ever imagined. mattheos lips kissed their way down your neck leaving small marks tiny moans leaving your mouth, âi need to hear more of that, y/n, let me eat you out.. please i need a tasteâ he continued his kisses along your neck bringing them back to your lips âiâve never- mm yesâ you replied as his fingers began making circles over your underwear.
âyou sound so good fuckâ he groaned pulling you off of him and getting off the bed, âyouâre sure of this?â he questioned one last time and you just nodded impatiently awaiting his next move. next thing you knew he was yanking you to the edge of his bed and slowly removing your pants and underwear looking up at you from below. âholy fuck puff.. youâre fucking soakingâ he breathed out over your pussy sending tingles down your spine.
without warning his mouth met your untouched area and you felt things never imaginable. his tongue made its way around your bulging clit, flicking it up and down and making his way to your entrance sucking and licking âyou taste so good holy fuckâ he huffed going right back in not even looking up at you, âcan i put two fingersâ he spoke from your pussy and you couldnât even properly answer âmm y-yesâ you replied between your moans.
you felt his slender fingers teasing your entrance and he slowly began inching one in and out teasingly, âmattheo-â you huffed and he chuckled shoving both fingers in, loud moan escaping your mouth and this new feeling. he did a few different moments trying to figure out what makes you moan the most, soon his tongue was sucking expertly on your clit as his fingers twisters and curled inside of you.
âmatt i want to.. tryâ you moaned at this pleasure wanting nothing more than to feel him inside of you now. âmm but youâre not ready yet puffâ he continued devouring your pussy simply divulging in it as if heâd never eaten anything before. his pace on everything quickened and you were already near your own orgasm, âif you donât s-stop iâm gonna cumâ you moaned loudly trying to control yourself.
âlet go for me sweetheartâ he sucked harder on your clit, the nickname and action forcing your orgasm to flood over you harder than youâve ever been able to make yourself experience. your body was shaking and you couldnât hold your reactions back, mattheo slowly licked your gushing area clean before standing up âmm now i think youâll be ready soonâ he smirked leaning down over you, grabbing your chin and giving you a kiss.

*ŕŠâŠâ§âË Love 101
my week-late valentine's post
summary: third years ask first years for love advice. the first years suck at giving it type of post: blurbs characters: cater, trey, leona, rook, vil, idia, lilia, malleus, rollo additional info: romantic, reader is gender neutral, reader is yuu
I. Cater and Deuce
Cater has always loved the thrill of the chase (or, really, the thrill of stalking your magicam at 2am) and he would have been content with keeping his digital distance if he didn't see you in Vil's last post. Suddenly anxious that he's fumbling, he does what he does best: info. And who would have better info than your best friend? "Uhhh, I dunno," Deuce says. "If you really like someone, then you should be honest with them- that's what my mom used to tell me, at least. Or did I read that somewhere? Uh, never mind. I'm sure the Prefect will understand! Just- you better treat them right, or else!" Be honest? When has honesty ever helped Cater? It'd take two more nights of crushing anxiety for him to send a risky text, spilling all of his feelings for you in a Magicam DM and then handing his phone over to a very confused (but pleased?) Riddle, so he won't check his notifs for your username every twelve seconds...
II. Trey and Ace
Trust me, he was not Trey's go-to. Okay, sure, Ace is your best friend. Sure, he knows everything about you, from your favorite desserts to your grades, and sure, you've probably told him everything about your dream man, but... It's Ace. And unlike darling, doe-eyed Deuce, if someone asked too much about you, Ace would get suspicious and go right into protective best friend mode. So, Trey keeps it vague. "Eh? You're asking me for dating advice?" Ace grins. "About time! I knew you were smart. What you're gonna do is give 'em a little, not too much. Maybe ghost 'em for a week or two, so they'll really miss you when you finally text back!" ...Yeah. Maybe Trey should just stick to desserts.
III. Leona and Jack
Listen, okay, Leona didn't want to ask him, either. But Ruggie had nothing, your other frosh friends couldn't flirt their way out of a paper bag, and Grim refused to give Leona the goods without tuna payments (and he's spoiled enough as it is). Of course, the moment Leona even implied he was thinking of you, Jack jumped. "You have to be direct and honest! This could be your life partner, you have to put your all in!" Right, sure. Why does he even bother with these kids?? You'd be turned off if Leona started spilling his guts like that. He would've given up then and there... but then Jack insisted he come to "support his upperclassman", as if it were a fight rather than a flirtation. Leona cursed the Seven, the stars, and every single student on campus as he stumbled his way through asking you out. "Not that you would, or that I care, but I-" he looks over his shoulder, and Jack is still there, arms crossed like an impatient parent. Leona grumbles. "If you want to..." "He wants to please you, Prefect!" Jack barks. "DON'T SAY IT LIKE THAT!"
IV. Vil, Rook, and Epel
It wasn't like Vil sought out Epel for the sole purpose of you, the freshman simply... happened to be in the room while Vil was thinking about it! Out loud! With Rook! In a... slightly argumentative manner! "Epel, settle something for us, would you?" "Oui, you see, I say the way to win the Prefect's favor is by anticipating their every thought!" "And I say that's insane. You know them best, so, tell us, what do they like?" The poor boy looks between them like he's being held at gunpoint. How should he have known?? It's not like you guys spent your time gabbing about boys! "APPLES!" he blurts out. "The Prefect loves apples!! My grandma always said the quickest way to a person's heart is through their stomach!" Rook giggles and Vil mumbles something about Epel's peanut-sized brain. ...Nonetheless, you wake up to crates full of apples at your door the next morning.
V. Idia and Ortho
beeeeeep... beeep... bing! Idia swivels around in his chair at the sound of the printer. Crap, did he accidentally hit print page again? What a waste of ink- that stuff's not cheap, you know! But it's just... Ortho. "Here ya go, big bro! I thought you might need this!" Idia cautiously takes the warm paper, entitled Romance Intel 101. "Uh... Ortho. Why are you giving me this? You know I max out the romance stats in all my games EZ," Ortho giggles. "It's not for a game, it's for the Prefect! Based on the data I've gathered, your heart rate accelerates by 1.2 seconds, and your pupils dilate by 40% when thinking of, or speaking to the Prefect!" Idia turns pink and crumples, as if he were the paper (the first line of which, BTW, reading "step one- make eye contact!") This is going to be a looooong school year...
VI. Lilia and Grim
You probably should've been suspicious when Lilia popped into Ramshackle and offered to babysit Grim for an afternoon, but you weren't- not with assignments due, at least. You said your goodbyes, and as soon as you were out the splintered door, Lilia spun on his heels. Short as he is, he towers over the little direbeast. "Hm, seems like we have time to spare. How about a casual conversation? Yes? Good! So, how do the youngsters these days go about showing their affections? I would like to make my feelings for a certain someone known, but I'm terribly out of practice." Grim thinks for a moment, and then: "Tuna. Looots of tuna. Heaps of it! It's all the rage!" Lilia nods sagely. "Ah, yes, I understand completely. There was a rotisserie chicken fad a few centuries ago... er, so I've read. Isn't love wonderful!" You come home from the library to an unconscious, drooling, but very happy Grim, and Lilia sitting atop a mountain of empty tuna cans and beaming. "Darling! You're back!"
VII. Malleus and Sebek
It had always been Sebek's honor and duty to serve the heir prince of Briar Valley, whether in war or in love. When Malleus wistfully said he wished to know you better, Sebek saw to it. That is, he spent the entire weekend shadowing you. And not subtly- he was never more than a few steps behind, pen and paper in hand. When you asked what in the world he was doing, he- "OBSERVING! NOW, QUIET! BEHAVE AS USUAL!" "You don't have to shout, you're right behind me. And observing what, Sebek?" "NONE OF YOUR CONCERN! ACT AS IF I AM NOT HERE!" At the end of the weekend, Sebek returned to Malleus' throne with a report that titled you "inquisitive, dense, and apparently hard-of-hearing."
VIII. Rollo and You
Your friends had seemed wary when Rollo asked you on a walk with him, though he promised he wouldn't take you too far from their clutches care. You had been in Fleur City for days and he didn't know a single thing about you, other than that you were magicless and pitiful. You were so often spoken over, interrupted, and dismissed, it took Rollo a strenuous amount of grace not to grab you by the wrist and drag you away from your rude, contemptuous classmates himself... He couldn't word the feeling. And he was hoping you could. "So," he says, "They refer to you as Prefect. That is your role? Do you enjoy it?" You shrug. Has being at that terrible school rendered you unfit for social interaction? "Very well. Then what do you do for... fun? You appeared to enjoy seeing the city. Are you interested in history?" You shrug again. How can he be expected to know you if you won't tell him anything?? Rollo decides that words are worthless, and his eyes land on your hands. His own fingers twitch and tingle in anticipation, and for a brief but terrifying moment, he thinks of reaching out to you. ...In the end, he can't will himself to do it. Maybe in another life.

More roomate!au thoughts because, again, my brain never stops. When you move in with them, dont expect to be able to do anything by yourself ever again (unless its housework and their away), your car needs fuel? Dont worry Simon will go with you and fill it up for you and dont even think about trying to pay for it yourself, you tried once and Simon just glared at you so you tucked your card back into your purse. You need to go get a few supplies for college, Price and Gaz are joining you and giving their opinions about the best laptop to get or the best stationary (they fill out enough paperwork that they know the best ones). You're cooking them dinner, Johnnys right by your side following your every order and helping to wash up while you go relax on the sofa waiting for whatevers in the oven. And you will want for nothing, you see a pair of shoes you want while out shopping but their outside of your price range, they arrive at your door a week later just after the boys deploy, you see a pretty necklace on TV and comment on it, Johnnys there behind you fastening it just before your next night out. You lament that your mattess and bed are uncomfortable, a new one arrives the next and it just so happens to be big enough to fit all 5 of you on it.
Yeah, the boys would 1000% give you princess treatment

My mind is still on that drabble so i absolutely love this so so so very much god yesâŚ.
Original post
It doesnât end there, of course. God, they do so, so much for you.
Itâs Simon who stands right outside the bathroom door when you get sick late at night, trying to be quiet and not bother anyone yet when you tell him he should go to sleep, youâll be fine, he doesnât even let you finish your sentence.
âDonât need sleep,â he grunts, pulling you against his body. Despite your protests, his warmth alone makes you melt. âJusâ tell me what you need.â
Itâs Gaz who gifts you with a surprise spa day kit after he notices how exhausted you look during your exams, gently pushing aside your laptop. âYou look knackered, lovie,â he murmurs. âLet me take care of you, alright? You always spoil us when we return anyways, this the least we can do.â
Itâs Johnny who immediately knows your day has been shit just from listening the way you shuffle in, shoulders slumped and head downcast.
âSomeone steal yer sunshine, hen?â
âDonât wanna talk about it, Johnny,â you mumble tiredly, yet you have no energy to refuse when he leads you to the couch. âBad day. Iâll just go to my room-â
âNah, none oâ that,â he shakes his head, taking your bag. âSit down, aye? Iâll fix you up something warm.â Though he makes sure to drap a blanket over yours shoulders before he goes into the kitchen, muttering about food.
Itâs Price who goes hand in hand with your safety. All of them do make you feel safe but John is just- a bit different.
Once, you were being followed after you finished shopping and like an idiot, youâd forgotten your usual pepper spray you carried. You knew you were being followed because you could feel the eyes constantly on you and you circled the same area several times. Your hands are shaking when you text him, praying to every god-
- john
- Yes, love?
You are too afraid to even crack a smile at his serious punctuation.
- someones following me idk what to d
You donât wait for him to reply. Just nervously, with too many typos, you tell him where you are and if please can he come or any of the men-
When John appears by your side in no less than five minutes, he just pulls you close to his side.
âCome on, sweetheart.â He ushers you along. âBlokeâs been dealt with. Give me your backs, yeah? Next time tell me or any of the muppets to join you.â
Too late you notice the blood splatters on his knuckles.
Also, remember when I said the original ad had been because they wanted someone to keep the place tidy when they are away? That doesnât apply when they are home. If they see you cleaning or cooking, they are helping- nu uh, no complaints allowed, they are not about to let you slave away when you have four very capable men at your beck and call.
Hell, once it was Johnny who saw you scrubbing the kitchen floors and he just picked you up and placed you on the counter, tsking at you.
In a few hours, John returned to find all of them cleaning the kitchen; Soap was now dusting, Gaz vaccuming, and Simon wiping the counters.
And you were bundled in the couch corner, cozy and cute.
âWhatâs all this?â He asked, an eyebrow raised, and you shrug.
âShe was tryinâ to clean.â Johnny grumbled from the corner.
âAnd you didnât stop her sooner?â
âBloody stubborn bird,â Ghost was the one who replied this time, not even looking up.
You opened your mouth to argue, but the look John fixed you with made you shut your mouth with a click.
âGood girl.â
The warmth on your cheeks was definitely not from overworking, at least.
You mention needing new clothes? You wake up to Simonâs credit card on your nightstand with a note ordering you to use it. âStrangelyâ, you canât find neither your own card nor your wallet.
You also canât find him, but Kyleâs there and oh wow! He has nothing to do so he will in fact be joining you (and making you model the dresses and outfits and send pictures to the others so you can be drowned in compliments)!
Also i like to hc that john(s) are both huge coffee lovers and they do in fact have those huge, fancy coffee machines yk? They are insulted when they see you drink the cheap, shitty, tasteless instant coffee you are surviving on and from then on, you will wake up every day to warm, fresh coffee made for you <33
Anyways gods i love them sm can you tell đŠđŠ

click here to join my taglist!

I feel so high school every time I look at you, I wanna find you in a crowd just to hide from you...
Mingyu was your dream man in many ways than one. The perfect boy to bring home to your parents, cooked delicious meals for you, and overall made you feel safe.Â
You two had been engaged for months now, and wedding planning was well underway, the date set for early into the new year. As if it wasnât stressful enough, your mom had already started questioning whether the two of you had wanted children, or planned to in the future. The answer was always the same,
âMom, I donât know⌠we havenât talked about it into a lot of detail⌠maybe later onâŚâ or âCâmon, weâre still young, Mom!âÂ
Mingyu didnât know any of this, and youâd probably never tell him, not wanting him to feel pressured by your badgering mother. You both knew you wanted children eventually, but you never talked that far into the future.
But⌠you also thought⌠maybe you would want to have children, if it was with Mingyu.Â
Mingyu would be the father to play dress up and makeovers with your daughter, have tea parties with her, or play with faux tools with your son and pretend to fix things, and play with plastic dinosaurs.
You couldn't picture anybody that would be more perfect to do it with than him.
Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? It's just a game, but really I'm bettin' on all three for us two...
Mingyu stands at the kitchen counter, cooking dinner like he usually does, and he usually insists since he gets home a little earlier from work than you do most days.Â
You come from the kitchen after changing out of your work clothes to see him chopping garlic as a pot is boiling on the stove.Â
âWhat are you making?â
âAgio e olio,â Mingyu responds, looking up to smile at you briefly. âI know itâs your favorite, and you said you were craving it.â
You smile, coming over to kiss him on the cheek quickly. âThank you, you make it so good anyway.â You chuckle as he playfully rolls his eyes.Â
He tosses the garlic in a pan on the stove, stirring it a little, then adds the pasta to the boiling water.
You decide now is the time to break your silence, and tell him whatâs been on your mind lately.
âGyu,â You speak up. â⌠I think we should talk about something.âÂ
âWhat?â Mingyuâs gaze turns to meet yours, a concerned look on his face, and you immediately want to kiss him and make it go away.
âWhy? Whatâs wrong?â
âIâve been thinkingâŚâ You pause, racking your brain on how to word what youâre about to tell him, also given that you didnât want to scare him. âWhat do you think about us⌠having a baby?âÂ
You look up at his undeniable surprised expression; after all you did come out of nowhere with that statement.
âI mean, I know we havenât really discussed it much, and weâre getting married in a few months⌠but I have been thinking about it a lot, and I want to, weâre at that age-â You break out into a nervous ramble before he cuts you off.
âIâve thought about it too. I thought it should be something that we shouldâŚyou know⌠talk about.â Mingyu says.
âI donât want to put any pressure on you, or I guess, on us.â You continue. âI know weâre not married officially yet, and our wedding isnât until a few more months, but I donât know, I think I want to.âÂ
Mingyu turns to you, smiling ear to ear in the adorable happy puppy way he typically does when heâs over the top excited about something. âI know, me too.â
âDoes this mean⌠weâre trying?â You canât even hide your smile, your cheeks hurt as you attempt to be the least bit nonchalant.
âYeah⌠fuck⌠câmere.â Mingyu pulls you closer to him, kissing you fervently.
You pull back, releasing his grip from your waist.
âHey, after dinner,â You smirk, giggling at his eagerness. âYouâre gonna burn your garlic.â

âMingyu⌠I canât, fuck-â You whine, your face nearly buried into the pillow underneath you.
âYeah you can babyâŚâ Mingyu grunts, his hand slides up your back to push you down even more. âTaking it all like a good girlâŚâ
You nearly collapse as you can barely hold yourself up anymore, and youâre being pushed forward almost to the headboard from the force of him behind you.
âIâm gonna come, âgyu.â You cry, your hand trailing down to rub tight circles on your clit, making your thighs tremble as you push yourself closer to the edge.Â
âGo on babyâŚâ Mingyu groans, feeling you get tighter around him. âCum all over my cock like a good girl.â
You cry his name again as he pushes you over the edge, white-knuckling the sheets as he keeps thrusting inside you, almost even harder.
âFuckâŚâ  He groans as he slows down, stilling before he comes inside you.
He pulls out, watching himself drip out of you briefly as he curses under his breath, before he pushes it back inside you with two fingers, making you whine.
âSorry, babyâŚâ Mingyu sweetly apologizes.
You flip over on your back, pulling him down to kiss him.
âI wanna go againâŚâ You say against his lips, pushing his sweaty long hair back.
âReally?â He asks sweetly, leaning down to kiss your neck a few times. âWasnât too much?â
âNeverâŚâ
Truth, dare, spin bottles, You know how to ball, I know Aristotle Brand new, full-throttle, Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto...
The next few weeks were just the usual. Going into work during the day, shopping for the wedding with your sister, ⌠Mingyu practically never leaving you alone, but that you wouldnât complain about.
âWhat kind of flowers are you guys doing?â Your sister asks you. The two of you made plans to get coffee, and you guys typically talked about whatever. She always voiced her opinion on your life whether it was boyfriends, career moves, and now: your wedding.
âWhite lilies; one of my favorites. Mingyu said I could just pick what I wanted, heâs happy with whatever I choose.â You say.
âThatâs sweet,â She smiles, stirring her matcha latte. âEven though, he probably doesnât care.â She chuckles.
âYouâre probably right, I think he has other things on his mind other than flowers.â You laugh, only you know what you mean by that.Â
You never told her the both of you had been trying to have a baby.
âIâve always liked him, though, you know that.â She smiles. âIf thereâs anybody you marry and spend forever with, i'm glad itâs him. Heâs just right for you.â
You smile, glancing down as your gaze flickers on your sparkling engagement ring under the coffee shop lights.
Youâre definitely glad itâs him.
âDo you mind if we go into the grocery store down the street? I need to just run in and get a few things.â She asks you.
You nod. âYeah, thatâs fine. I could probably use a few things too.âÂ

âHow do you know if a watermelon is a really good one?â She asks you, as the fruit by the entrance catches her eye.
âYouâre asking me?â You laugh. âI have no idea, I have heard though if theyâre a dark green, itâs too watery.â
âYou were always good at picking them, I know Mom used to always say that.â She replies. âMaybe I wonât get one, are they even in season?â
âProbably not, itâs November. Anyway, what did you need here?â You say, grabbing a hand basket for yourself.
âJust usual stuff, yogurt⌠eggs, oat milk, some strawberries⌠whatever else I find that I think i need.â She says, placing strawberries and avocados in her cart. Already straying from the list.Â
You follow her, bagging up some apples, cucumbers, and brussel sprouts into your basket.Â
Youâre both wandering down the ice cream aisle, as youâre grabbing whatever pint of peanut butter ice cream you can find, when your sister speaks up.
âOh! Letâs go to the hygiene section, I need to get some tampons. That time of the month soon.â
You pause, ice cream in hand, suddenly racking your brain trying to remember when the last time your period was. A few weeks ago? Last month? Were you supposed to get it? Were you late?
âY/nâŚ? Whatâs wrong? Everything okay?â She asks, seemingly able to read your inner monologue going on in your head.Â
âY-yeahâŚâ You reply, placing the ice cream in your basket, all while your heart is still racing. Was it joy? Nervousness? âItâs just⌠I canât remember the last time I had my periodâŚâ
I'm watching American Pie with you on a Saturday night Your friends are around, so be quiet, I'm trying to stifle my sighs 'Cause I feel so high school, Every time I look at you...
âI feel bad doing this without him,â You say, staring down at the two blinking pregnancy tests on the counter. âMingyu should be hereâŚâ
âHeâll be home from work soon wonât he? Youâll tell him then. Câmon, heâll understand, practically sister code for me to be the first one to know.â She replies, checking the time on her phone.Â
Itâs true, you both always did tell each other everything before you told anybody else.Â
âItâs almost time.â
âI canât look.â You anxiously turn away. âItâs killing me.â
âHow did this happen?â She asks. âI mean⌠not to be noseyâŚ.â
âWell we talked about it, and weâve been kinda⌠sorta, trying to get pregnant.âÂ
âWhat?! How come you didnât tell me you were?â She exclaims, playfully shoving you.
âWe decided to about a little over a month ago. We talked about it, we decided it was something we both wanted,â You start, just as her phone timer goes off, you quickly turn around from the counter. âOh my god, oh my god, I canât look.â
âIâll do it first,â She says, shoving her way in front of you. âOh my god⌠y/nâŚâ You can hear the excitement and smile in her voice.
You turn around, facing the two tests.
You see it, âpregnantâ, displayed clearly on both.
âOh my god, I donât,â You almost stutter, lost for words. âI- I donât know what to say.â
âGood news?â She asks.
âYeah, yeah, of course.â You smile, suddenly becoming teary, feeling a bunch of emotions at once. Excitement. Nervousness.  âI just- fuck⌠I wish Mingyu was here. I didnât want to find out like this.â
âRelax, youâll tell him later,â She laughs. âEspecially âcause I know you wonât be able to keep this from him long.â
âNo, youâre absolutely right. Thereâs no way Iâm holding it in.â
And in a blink of a crinkling eye I'm sinking, our fingers entwined Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me...
You spend the evening trying to decide elaborate ways that youâll tell him.Â
Putting a test in a gift bag as a present? Corny.
Hiding it somewhere and letting him find it? Too lame.
You decided to literally just come right out and tell him, especially because you didnât want to figure out some cliche way of getting it out.
Mingyu comes home from work, greeting you as he walks in the door, adorably kissing your forehead as he wraps his arms around you, perfectly engulfing you.
âHow was your day, honey?â He sweetly asks you, genuinely curious as heâs awaiting your answer.Â
âIt was good actually, I had coffee with my sister, then we went to the grocery store, doesnât sound like much but we had fun.â You lean up and kiss his lips, smiling.
âBut itâs better now that youâre here.âÂ
Mingyu smiles, kissing you again.
âIâm going to get changed really quick, okay?â Mingyu says.
You jokingly pout. âAw, but you look so nice in your slacks and button up shirt⌠at least let me savor it.â You reach up, undoing a few buttons on his shirt.
âEnjoying this?â Mingyu chuckles.
âYes, very.â You smile.
âWell I was gonna ask you, if you wanted to, Wonwoo and Seungcheol asked if we wanted to go out and get dinner with them, and hang out maybe get some drinks.â He continues, before he starts walking off to your shared bedroom to change, as you follow him. âWonwoo asked me before I left the office.âÂ
âI donât know⌠maybe?â You reply, hesitating a bit.
Meanwhile your mind works a mile a minute trying to think of how to break this news of yours to him.
âIt wouldnât be until a little later, if thatâs better. No rush.â Mingyu says, nonchalantly unbuttoning his shirt and slipping it off. What a distraction.Â
He slips on a white t-shirt , and gray sweatpants; his usual after work attire. Suddenly you wonder if whatever you have to tell him is really that important anyway, and you immediately consider just saying âforget itâ and fucking him right here in the early hours of the evening. Whatâd be the big deal? You were already pregnant, anyways.
No! You quickly shake that thought from your mind, refocusing.
âGyu,â You start, getting his full attention. âThereâs something⌠I have to tell you something.â
âWhat?âÂ
âIâm not even really sure how to tell you, um hang on,â You continue, leaving the room quickly to retrieve one of the pregnancy tests youâd left in the bathroom.Â
You come back, very obviously holding something behind your back.
âI guess I should say I kind of have a surprise to tell you.â
âWhat? What?â Mingyu asks, eager already by the way youâre already smirking, unable to contain yourself.
âItâs, um, thisâŚâ You start, pulling the test from behind your back. âI didnât know how to tell you, I was gonna plan something but I couldnât wait.â You laugh, smiling ear to ear.
Mingyu takes it from you, seemingly uncaring, or forgetting, that you literally peed on the thing. His mouth drops opened, in awe.
âOh my godâŚâ He speaks, beaming. âWhen did you find out?âÂ
âToday, actually.â You say. âI wound up taking a test, and⌠yeah.âÂ
You sigh. âI feel so weird about it, I know I was expecting it but I feel so excited and nervous at the same time.â
You glance up at Mingyu, and you see him still examining the test in his hand.
âAre you okay?â
âYeah, yeah,â Mingyu nods, his eyes meeting yours and you see heâs now smiling. âIâm just⌠happy, surprised..â
âI mean, cmon, what were we really expectingâŚâ You joke, blushing.
âYou know what I mean, itâs still crazy to me.â Mingyu comes closer to you, kissing you.Â
âYeah, it sure isâŚâ You smile up at him.Â

âItâs okay, honey,â Mingyu reassures you, speaking softly. âJust get it outâŚâ
Mingyu kneels behind you on the cold tile floor, holding your hair back as youâre hanging your head over the toilet as your stomach empties its contents.
âThere you goâŚâÂ
You wonder how he can even stand to be in the bathroom with you, if the roles were reversed, youâd be outside the door nearly gagging.
âAre you okay?â Mingyu asks, helping you sit up, as he wraps his arms around you to keep you steady.Â
You slowly nod as you flush, still feeling a touch of nausea. âYeah, can you just- just stay here for a little bit.âÂ
Mingyu sits on the tile floor as he leans against the bathtub, and he guides you back to sit in front of him.
You lean back into him, and he leans down and kisses your shoulder. You catch a glance at his watch on his wrist even in the dim light of the very early morning.
âOh my god, Gyu, is it really 5am?â You groggily ask, feeling sorry. âYou have to work in the morning, donât you?â
âShh, itâs okay, itâs not a big deal.â Mingyu reassures you. âI can always go in a little later, I wanna make sure youâre okay.âÂ
ââŚI think Iâm good now,â You say, starting to stand up slowly, as Mingyu helps you all the way. ââŚYou know, I have heard that the more nauseas you are, it probably means youâre having a girl. And if you have none at all, itâs probably a boy.â
Mingyu chuckles, âWhere do you come up with this? Is that even a thing?âÂ
âThe internet⌠you know, social media. Everythingâs on there.â You protest.
âYouâre delirious,â Mingyu playfully rolls his eyes. âCmon, letâs go back to bed.â

âGyu, we have to leave in like an hour,â You say, as youâre getting ready in the bathroom, finishing up your final touches on your hair. âI donât want to be late for dinner at my parents house.â
Mingyu stands in the doorway now, âThis okay?â He shows off a navy blue polo shirt and black jeans.Â
âYeah, honey, you look nice.â You smile. âBesides, you could wear anything around her, she adores you anyways.âÂ
It was true. Your mother would always be calling Mingyu to help around the house when your Father was away on a business trip. She needed help fixing something? Sheâd call Mingyu. She needs help building a side table? You bet sheâs calling Mingyu. His height was also a bonus, being able to reach things stored higher up.
Mingyu smiles at you adoringly, as his eyes trail down your body.
âWhat?â You ask when you notice him.
âYouâre starting to show a little,â He smiles. âYou look cute.â
You giggle, placing your hands on your stomach. âYeah I know, she wants to be seen now, sheâs done hiding.âÂ
âWell, are my girls ready to go?â Mingyu smiles, kissing you.Â
âYeah,â You giggle, smiling as you kiss him again. âLetâs go.âÂ
It's true, swear, scouts honor You knew what you wanted and boy, you got her.

Don't Get In Your Own Way
Summary: You and Spencer have always been close - everyone else can see it's more than just friendship. When will you two be ready to see it as well?
Pairing: Spencer Reid x BAU fem!reader
Category: fluff, light smut (18+)
Warnings/Includes: alcohol consumption, suggestive content, friends to lovers, minimal BAU case talk, mild public indecency
Word count: 10.3k
a/n: this was an olddd draft ,,, i came back to give it the ol' razzle dazzle
main masterlist
Every afternoon, like clockwork, you and Spencer retreat to the stairs outside the FBI offices, your little quiet corner away from the noise of the bullpen. The team is usually scatteredâsome opting for takeout at their desks, others heading out for a biteâbut you and Spencer? You prefer the fresh air, the slight reprieve from case files and fluorescent lights, just the two of you.
Spencer talksâa lot. And you let him. You never interrupt when he goes off on a tangent, whether about a book heâs been reading, some obscure historical event, or even the latest behavioral theory heâs been mulling over. Heâs learned, over time, that you listenâthat you donât just humor him but engage, ask questions, challenge him. Itâs one of the reasons he feels safest around you, why he lets the mask slip, why he doesnât feel the need to filter himself. Around you, heâs just Spencer. Not Dr. Reid, not the genius of the BAU. He's just a guy who loves sharing the things that make his brain light up.
Lately, heâs been growing his hair, letting the waves fall into his face while he works. He never noticed how often he pushed it back, but you did. One afternoon, after watching him shove it out of his eyes for the hundredth time while struggling through paperwork, you wordlessly slid a hair tie onto his wrist.
âFor when you finally give up,â youâd said with a small smile.
Spencer had looked at the simple black band like it was some kind of sacred object before slipping it on. He never did tie his hair up, but the band stayed. Now, when heâs anxious, when his thoughts spiral too fast for even him to keep up, he rolls it between his fingers, snaps it lightly against his skin, and uses it as an anchor. He wonders if you even realize what youâve given him and how something so small makes him feel grounded.
You are completely unaware of how much Spencer sees you and how much he feels for you. You like himâmore than you should, more than is probably appropriate for two people who are just friendsâbut you tell yourself it doesnât matter. Spencer is brilliant and kind and so effortlessly attractive, and you? You convince yourself heâd never see you that way. Itâs not self-deprecating, not reallyâjust⌠reality.
Meanwhile, Spencer sits beside you every day, wondering how you donât notice how his eyes linger, how his heart jumps every time you laugh, and how he holds onto your hair tie like a lifeline. How he wonders if you feel the same way.
â
Derek doesnât let up. Not now, not ever.
Spencerâs been subjected to his relentless teasing for years, but ever since he started growing his hair outâand ever since you gave him that hair tieâDerek has been on a mission.
âPretty Boy, youâre pathetic,â Derek says one afternoon, leaning against Spencerâs desk with his arms crossed, watching him roll the hair tie between his fingers like itâs some kind of lifeline.
Spencer, who has been deep in thought, barely looks up. âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
âOh, come on, man,â Derek scoffs. âThe hair tie? The way you light up every time she talks to you? The fact that you, the man who hates all forms of physical contact, donât even flinch when she gets in your space? Do you even hear yourself when you talk about her?â
Spencer blinks at him, feigning ignorance. âI talk about her the same way I talk about all of my friends.â
Derek lets out a loud, incredulous laugh. âThatâs funny. Real funny. Because I donât remember you getting all flustered and dreamy-eyed when you talk about me.â
Spencerâs brows furrow. âI donât get flustered.â
Derek raises a brow and mimics Spencer in a high-pitched, breathy voice. âOh, she listens to me ramble. She actually engages with me. Sheâs so perceptive.â He drops the act, shaking his head. âMan, you are down bad.â
Spencer rolls his eyes and turns back to his book, a weak defense mechanism. âI really donât thinkââ
âNo, you donât think,â Derek interrupts. âThatâs the problem. Because if you were thinking, youâd realize that she looks at you the same way you look at her.â
That makes Spencer freeze, a book halfway in his hands.
Derek smirks, knowing heâs struck something deep. âYeah. Thatâs what I thought.â
Spencer opens his mouth, ready to protest and argue some logical counterpoint, but nothing comes out. He canât explain away the way his heart clenches at the mere possibility that you might feel the same.
Derek slaps a hand on his shoulder, grin widening. âAny day now, Pretty Boy. Any day now.â Then he walks off, leaving Spencer to stare blankly at his book, brain absolutely wrecked.
He glances down at the hair tie around his wrist, suddenly hyper-aware of the way it sits against his skin.
Rossi is just as relentless with you as Derek is with Spencerâexcept heâs a little more subtle about it. He doesnât tease in the same playful, in-your-face way that Derek does with Spencer. No, Rossi prefers to plant little seeds, make small comments, and give you just enough to get your mind churning.
Heâs been keeping a close eye on you ever since you joined the team. Maybe itâs the way you love to talk about home or how you light up when someone treats you like family. So, naturally, Rossi steps in. A guiding hand, an occasional piece of advice, a warm presence when you need one.
And right now? Right now, you need someone to tell you that youâre being blind as hell.
âYou know, bella, Iâve been around a long time,â Rossi says one afternoon, leaning back in his chair, swirling a glass of bourbon in his hand. âIâve seen a lot of things. A lot of things. And Iâd like to think I have a pretty good read on people.â
You barely look up from your case file. âAre you about to say something wise or just something annoying?â
He smirks. âOh, I can do both.â
You roll your eyes but donât argue.
Rossi takes a sip of his drink, watching you with that knowing look that makes you feel like youâre being studied under a microscope. âYou like him, you know.â
Your stomach twists uncomfortably, but you donât react. Not outwardly, at least. âWho?â
âOh, donât play dumb. Youâre smarter than that.â
You exhale sharply, still keeping your eyes on your paperwork. âI donât like Spencer.â
Rossi chuckles, setting his glass down with a soft clink. âThatâs cute. Now say it again like you mean it.â
You finally glance up at him, narrowing your eyes. âI mean it.â
âMm-hmm,â Rossi hums, clearly unconvinced. He leans forward, resting his arms on his desk. âYou know, you remind me a lot of myself when I was younger.â
You raise a brow. âOh? You had a thing for Spencer, too?â
Rossi lets out a full-bodied laugh. âNo, but I was stubborn. And I was good at convincing myself that things werenât what they obviously were.â He tilts his head, eyes twinkling with amusement. âLet me ask you something. If I told you that Spencer thinks the world of you, that he practically glows when youâre around, what would you say?â
You swallow, suddenly very aware of your heartbeat. âIâd say youâre exaggerating.â
Rossi shakes his head. âNo, bella, Iâm not. Derek sees it. I see it. Hell, even Garcia sees it, and sheâs usually too busy matchmaking herself to notice when somethingâs right under her nose.â He leans back again, watching you carefully. âBut the real question isâwhy donât you see it?â
Your mouth opens, then closes. The truth? Because the idea that Spencer could feel that way about you is terrifying. Youâve convinced yourself he wouldnât, couldnât, not in the way you secretly hope.
So you deflect. âSpencerâs just⌠Spencer. Heâs sweet to everyone.â
Rossi sighs, shaking his head with something like fond exasperation. âYou keep telling yourself that, kid. But one of these days, youâre going to wake up and realize youâve been standing in your own way this whole time.â
You scoff lightly. âWhat, you want me to march over there and declare my undying love?â
Rossi grins. âWouldnât be the worst idea.â
You shake your head, muttering something about meddling old men as you shove your paperwork into a neat stack, trying to ignore the way your hands feel slightly unsteady.
Rossi just watches you, amusement still lingering on his face.
Because he knows.
And one day, youâll know, too.
â
The precinct is buzzing with too much movement and too much noise. Officers shuffling papers, detectives arguing over case details, coffee machines gurgling, the fluorescent lights humming like an irritating static in the back of your head. Itâs a small station, cramped, and the team has been forced into an even smaller conference room, shoulder to shoulder with local law enforcement.
Spencer has been quiet all morning, his fingers twitching slightly, his blinking a little too frequently. Youâve been with him long enough to notice when the world is becoming too much for him, and right now, itâs clear that the rapid-fire conversations, the overlapping voices, the smell of burnt coffee and cheap air freshenerâit's all pushing him to the edge of his tolerance.
So, as usual, he attaches himself to you.
Itâs something heâs done for years, seeking you out when things get overwhelming. Youâve never minded. In fact, you never even thought much of itâuntil now.
Right now, his head is slumped against your shoulder, a deep sigh escaping him, his breath warm where it ghosts over the fabric of your shirt. His long fingers loosely clutch your jacket sleeve, not in an obvious way, but just enough that you know heâs anchoring himself with your presence. His entire frame is pressed slightly against your side, fitting into your space in a way that should feel intrusiveâbut it doesnât. It never does.
But today? Today, it does feel different. Not bad, not at all, just... noticeable.
The warmth of his body against yours. The way his hair brushes your cheek when he shifts. The way you can feel the weight of him, trusting, unguarded.
You should say somethingâacknowledge it, maybe even tease him like Derek wouldâbut your throat feels tight. Instead, you sit perfectly still, let him rest, let him take what he needs from you.
Across the room, Rossi is watching. He doesnât say a word, just gives you a knowing look, an almost smirk, before turning back to his conversation with Hotch.
You swallow hard, your mind racing with thoughts you donât have time to entertain. Not right now. Not with a case on the line.
Spencer exhales again, a deep, exhausted sound. Without thinking, you lift your hand and gently brush it over his arm, a quiet reassurance. He hums in responseâbarely audible, but enough to let you know he appreciates it.
And you?
You pretend your pulse isnât hammering; pretend this is just like every other time.
Even though, for some reason, it doesnât feel that way anymore.
â
The room is already cold and sterile, the air thick with the lingering scent of antiseptic and something darker, something that clings to the walls of places like theseâdeath, decay, the remnants of lives cut short. The mortuary is dimly lit, the fluorescent bulbs casting a bluish hue over the metal slabs, the bodies covered with crisp white sheets.
Spencer and Emily step inside, the door clicking shut behind them, sealing them away from the world of the living for just a little while.
Emily exhales, rubbing her hands together despite the temperature-controlled environment. âI donât know what Hotch thinks weâre going to find that we didnât already see,â she murmurs, but thereâs no real complaint in her toneâjust exhaustion.
Spencer doesnât answer right away. Heâs already moving, scanning the room with sharp, restless eyes. He doesnât like being back here. Too quiet, too still. Too much time to think. And heâs already spent the morning overstimulated, barely hanging onto himself. If it werenât for youâyour presence, your steadying warmthâhe might have lost his grip entirely.
But youâre not here now.
Emily watches him for a moment, sees the way his fingers twitch slightly, how he pushes his hair back only to drop his hand to his wrist, rolling the familiar hair tie between his fingers. A grounding mechanism. Sheâd seen him do it before.
âSpencer,â she calls gently.
He blinks and looks at her.
âYou okay?â
He hesitates, then nods.
Back in the SUV, Emily watches Spencer out of the corner of her eye as he flips through the case file, his knee bouncing slightly, his fingers twitching against the edge of the folder. Heâs rattling off statistics about the likelihood of unsub behavior escalating post-mortem examinations, but thereâs a certain absentmindedness to the way heâs speakingâlike heâs not entirely here.
And Emily Prentiss? Sheâs no fool.
So, as she turns onto the road leading toward the mortuary, she decides to go for it.
âI wasnât going to say anything,â she starts, keeping her tone casual. âIn fact, I havenât for the past few years.â She glances at him and watches as his fingers tighten slightly on the folder. âBut today felt different. Are you sure youâre alright?â
Spencer stills, his knee stopping mid-bounce before he forces it back down. âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
Emily snorts. âOh, come on. You canât seriously expect me to believe that.â
Spencer purses his lips, shifting in his seat like heâs trying to physically move away from this conversation. âWe have more important things to focus on right now.â
âUh-huh,â Emily hums. âAnd yet, back at the station, you looked about one deep sigh away from crawling into her lap.â
Spencer stiffens. âThatâs an exaggeration.â
Emily shrugs, smirking slightly. âIs it? Because from where I was standing, you were practically molded to her side.â
Spencer stays silent, glaring down at the folder like itâs personally offended him.
Emily softens, tilting her head. âLook, Iâm not teasing you. Iâm just askingâare you okay? Because Iâve seen you cling to her before when things get overwhelming, but today⌠it was different.â She hesitates. âYou were different. She was different.â
Spencer swallows, pressing his lips together. He could brush it off. He could easily throw out some logical, cold dismissal. I was overstimulated, and she provided a familiar presence. There is nothing unusual about that, but the problem is, it is unusual.
Because for the first time, he noticed it.
Noticed how natural it felt, how good it felt, to be pressed against you. Noticed the way your touch lingered, how your fingers brushed his arm with a softness that made his skin buzz. Noticed how he felt safe, not just because you were familiar, but because he wanted to be close to you. Because he liked it.
And that? That realization is unraveling something in him he isnât sure heâs ready for.
âIââ He hesitates, scrubbing a hand over his face. âI donât know.â
Emily watches him for a moment before nodding, letting the conversation settle for a few beats before she speaks again.
âYou know,â she says, keeping her tone light. âYou could always ask her.â
Spencerâs head snaps toward her, eyes wide, panicked. âAsk her what?â
Emily grins, eyes twinkling as she pulls into the mortuary parking lot.
âOh, you know. On a date.â
Spencer makes a strangled noise of protest, but Emily is already unbuckling her seatbelt, pretending she doesnât hear it.
She lets him stew in his thoughts and sit there with that panicked expression because honestly?
He needs to figure it out for himself.
â
Tuesday nights were for Star Trek, and Friday nights were for pizza and movies. It had started as something casual, a way to unwind after long days at work, but over time, it became an unspoken ruleâa part of your week as consistent as waking up in the morning.
Tuesday nights meant curling up on your couch, debating over which Star Trek series to watch that week. Spencer always had his preferencesâhe loved The Original Series for its groundbreaking storytelling and The Next Generation for its philosophical depthâbut he never protested when you picked Voyager because he knew how much you liked Captain Janeway. You didnât always pay attention to the episodes the way he did, but you loved listening to him ramble, watching his eyes light up as he dissected the scientific inaccuracies or argued about the moral dilemmas presented in each episode.
And then there was Friday nightâpizza and movie night.
Unlike Star Trek night, where Spencer usually held the reins, movie night was a battle. You had vastly different tastesâSpencer leaned toward old classics, noir films, and things with intricate plots that required full intellectual engagement. On the other hand, you sometimes just wanted to watch an over-the-top action flick, something fun and ridiculous.
âI donât understand why we canât watch Casablanca,â Spencer had complained one Friday, frowning at your choice of Die Hard.
âBecause Casablanca is depressing, and I just want to watch Bruce Willis blow things up,â youâd argued, plopping onto the couch.
Spencer had grumbled but ultimately stayed, reluctantly eating his pizza while you enjoyed Die Hard a little too much.
But despite the friendly bickering, you both always showed up for each other. No matter how draining the week was or how heavy the cases got, Tuesday and Friday nights were yours. If one of you was too tired, the other brought food. If Spencer needed to visit his mom, heâd make you promise not to watch Star Trek without him. If you had a bad day, he let you pick the movie without a single complaint (except for that one time you picked Twilight, which he still refuses to acknowledge).
For years, it was just routine, something comfortable, something easy.
The case had finally wrapped up late Wednesday afternoon, and while you should have been relievedâgrateful that everything ended as cleanly as possibleâyou were distracted. Off-kilter. Your mind wasnât on the debriefing, the flight back to Quantico, or even the pile of paperwork waiting for you tomorrow.
No, your mind was stuck on him.
Spencer.
More specifically, the way you couldnât seem to shake the lingering warmth of his body from when he had leaned against you, or the quiet, vulnerable way he had sighed into your shoulder, or the way Rossiâs words had wormed their way into your brain and stuck.
"You keep telling yourself that, kid. But one of these days, youâre going to wake up and realize youâve been standing in your own way this whole time."
Damn him.
You were usually so good at compartmentalizing, at keeping your feelings neatly boxed up and shoved into the farthest corner of your mind where they couldnât betray you. But now? Now, every little thing Spencer did had you spiraling.
Like right now.
Friday afternoon rolls around, and youâre already on edge.
When Spencer casually walks up to your desk, his messenger bag is slung over his shoulder, and his hands are tucked into his pockets, you already know youâre in trouble.
âHey,â he says, tilting his head slightly. âWeâre still on for tonight, right?â
You blink at him.
Wait. What?
Is he confirming plans? He hasnât done that since the first month you started doing thisâsince he was still unsure if the ritual was set in stone. But now, after all this time, heâs asking?
Your heart starts hammering, palms go clammy.
âYeahâyes,â you blurt out, nodding a little too fast. âOf course. Why wouldnât we?â
Spencer watches you carefully, clearly picking up on something being off. His brow furrows slightly, and he studies you with that damn profiler gaze, the one that makes you feel like heâs reading every single thought youâre desperately trying to bury.
âYou okay?â he asks slowly.
You force a laugh. It comes out weird. âYeah! Why wouldnât I be?â
His frown deepens.
Okay. You need to fix this before you combust.
You grab your phone off your desk and clear your throat. âSo! What are we watching tonight?â you ask, trying to force the conversation forward before you completely unravel.
Spencer tilts his head slightly, still watching you with suspicion, but he lets it go.
âFor our movie night? Or are you asking if weâre switching to a Star Trek episode lineup for some reason?â
You roll your eyes, grateful for the distraction. âMovie night, obviously.â
He hums, his lips quirking slightly. âI figured it was my turn to pick.â
You groan dramatically. âUgh. If this is another silent foreign film that you claim is âcaptivating,â Iâm kicking you out before the pizza even gets here.â
Spencer smirks. âItâs not silent.â
You narrow your eyes. âBut it is foreign.â
Spencer just shrugs.
You groan again, shaking your head. âFine. But if I fall asleep, Iâm blaming you.â
He grins, and for a moment, just a moment, everything feels normal again.
Except itâs not.
Because now youâre noticing everything. The way heâs smiling at you, like he genuinely likes looking at you. The way heâs still standing a little too close, the scent of cologne youâve never noticed mixing with the faint smell of old books and coffee. Your heart is pounding, not from panic anymore but from something else.
And Rossiâs voice echoes in your headâYouâre going to wake up and realize youâve been standing in your own way this whole time.
You swallow hard, forcing yourself to push the thought away.
Spencer is still looking at you, waiting, expectant.
You clear your throat. âSo⌠my place at seven?â
He nods. âYour place at seven.â
And with that, he walks away, leaving you gripping your desk, trying to convince yourself that your entire world hasnât just shifted on its axis.
â
The knock at the door makes your stomach drop.
You werenât expecting it. Not from him.
Spencer never knocks. Not anymore. Not when heâs been coming here for years, slipping inside without hesitation, using the key you gave him so long ago that neither of you even remembers when it stopped being your apartment and started feeling like his, too.
But tonight, he knocks.
And for a moment, you just stare at the door, pulse pounding in your ears, a strange, unsettling panic twisting in your chest.
Why?
Why would he knock?
Did something happen? Did you do something? Did he?
You scramble to your feet, nearly tripping over the corner of the rug in your rush to reach the door. Your hand hovers over the doorknob for half a second too long before you finally pull it open.
And there he is.
Standing in the dim glow of the hallway light, looking just as nervous as you feel.
Heâs holding the pizza in both hands, gripping the box like itâs the only thing anchoring him. His lips are parted slightly as if heâs mid-thought, mid-explanation for why heâs standing here like a stranger instead of walking in like he always does.
âHey,â he says, and his voice is careful, deliberate. Like heâs testing the temperature of the air between you.
You swallow. âWhyâd you knock?â
Spencer shifts, his fingers flexing against the cardboard. âIââ He exhales sharply, eyes flickering down for a moment before meeting yours again. âI wasnât sure if I should justâif you wanted me to just come in.â
Your stomach twists. âYou always just come in.â
âI know,â he says quickly. âI justââ He stops, swallows, tries again. Spencer takes a breath, shifting his grip on the pizza box. âCan I come in?â
Your fingers tighten slightly around the doorknob as you nod and step aside.
The warm glow of your living room wraps around Spencer like a familiar embrace. The scent of old books and candle wax lingers in the air, mingling with the rich aroma of fresh pizza. Heâs holding the box carefully as if it were fragile or important. His fingers clutch the edges a little too tightly.
Something is different.
You feel it the moment he walks through the door, the way he hesitates on the threshold before closing it behind him. His usual easy presence is replaced with something unsure, something heavy that neither of you can quite name.
Itâs never been awkward before.
But tonight, it is.
Maybe itâs the way he swallows before speaking or the way you feel hyper-aware of the space between youâspace thatâs usually nonexistent when youâre tangled up on the couch, watching whatever movie you finally agreed on after bickering for twenty minutes.
Maybe itâs the way his fingers brush against his wrist absentmindedly, rolling the hair tie between them, a habit you know means heâs feeling too much.
Or maybe, just maybe, itâs because something unspoken has been hanging in the air between you for a while now, something neither of you have dared to name.
Spencer sits down beside you, a little closer than usual but still not quite enough. His knee brushes against yours, and you donât pull away. Neither does he.
âMovie?â you ask, trying to sound normal. Trying to push through the tension.
Spencer nods, but he doesnât reach for the remote. Instead, he glances at you, searching your face, lips parting slightly like he wants to say something.
And for the first time in all the years of Friday pizza-and-movie nights, for the first time in all the comfortable silences and easy laughter, you thinkâ
He might actually say what youâre both thinking.
But when Spencer finally does speak, itâs not what you expect. You blink at him, your brain short-circuiting.
"Do you want to watch 10 Things I Hate About You?"
It takes you a second to process the words because that is not what you were expecting.
For a moment, your grip tightens on the edge of the couch, your knuckles going white, and your heart still hammering from the sheer weight of what you thought he was about to say.
âWhat?â you finally spit out, voice higher than youâd like.
Spencer shifts awkwardly in his seat, clearing his throat as if heâs just realized how strange the moment is. âItâs⌠isnât it your favorite rom-com?â
You stare at him. âYeah⌠but I didnât think you liked it.â
âI donât dislike it,â he hedges, suddenly looking everywhere except at you. âAnd, statistically speaking, if weâre ranking romantic comedies based on their adherence to Shakespearean influence, itâs arguably one of the better adaptations of Taming of the Shrewââ
You cut him off with a squint. âYouâre rambling.â
He presses his lips together, a nervous habit, his fingers twitching slightly. âRight. Sorry.â
The air between you feels charged, like an unsaid truth is pressing against the walls, threatening to break them down. But instead of confronting it and saying whatever it is thatâs clearly sitting on the tip of his tongue, Spencer is talking about rom-coms.
You cross your arms, tilting your head. âOkay, but⌠why? Why that movie? Why now?â
His eyes flicker up to yours then, just for a second, and thereâs something raw, vulnerable, and uncertain.
And then, before you can decipher it, he shrugs. âI just thought youâd like it.â
Your heart clenches painfully because God, heâs so Spencer. Always thinking of you, noticing the smallest details, and looking out for you even when you donât expect it.
And yet⌠thereâs still something unspoken lingering between you, something simmering beneath the surface, something that almost came out before he took a sharp left turn into the world of 10 Things I Hate About You.
âDo you want to watch?â Spencer asks again in that vulnerable tone, lifting the movie case from his bag.
You exhale, rubbing your hands on your pants to wipe off the nervous sweat. âYeah,â you sigh.
Spencer nods, but itâs almost hesitant, almost like he wasnât sure youâd say yes. He lingers for a second with the 10 Things I Hate About You DVD case in his hands, gripping it just as tightly as he had the pizza box moments ago.
You swallow, rubbing your palms against your pants again before reaching for the remote. âUh, you can put it in.â
He moves toward the DVD player slowly, methodically, like heâs focusing on the action so he doesnât have to focus on you. You watch him as he kneels down, sliding the disc into the tray, his fingers steady even though you know he isnât.
The air between you is thick with something unspoken, a weight pressing on both of you, but neither of you acknowledges it. Instead, you wait as the movie boots up, the familiar menu music filling the quiet space between you.
Spencer hesitates before sitting, but itâs closer than usual when he does.
Not overly closeânot close enough to make it obviousâbut close enough that you can feel the heat of his body, close enough that his knee brushes yours again.
You pretend not to notice.
He pretends not to, either.
The movie starts, and for the first time, neither of you is watching it.
Youâre too aware of himâthe way he shifts slightly when you do, his fingers twitch against his knee like heâs trying not to reach out, and the way his breath catches ever so slightly when your arm brushes his.
Spencer doesnât usually do this. Heâs tactile when heâs overwhelmed, yes, but this? This is different. This is hesitation; this is awareness; this is something tiptoeing dangerously close to the edge of something neither of you has dared to touch before.
And you donât know what to do with that.
So you try to focus on the movie, try to push through the nervous energy coiling in your stomach.
But thenâ
Then Spencer shifts, leans back against the couch, exhales softlyâ
And his arm drops, just slightly, around your shoulders.
Your heart stops.
You stare at the screen, unblinking, unsure if he even realizes what heâs done.
But he doesnât move.
And neither do you.
The room feels different now. Warmer, heavier, charged with something neither of you have spoken aloud. You canât tell if itâs the candlelight flickering in the dim space or if itâs just him, just this, whatever this is, settling around you like a second skin.
Spencerâs armâhis armâis resting along the back of the couch, not quite on you, but close enough that you can feel its weight, close enough that if you shifted even the slightest bit, it would be.
You try to focus on the movie. Try to act like nothingâs changed.
But your body betrays you.
Your shoulders stiffen at first, instinctively, not because you donât want thisâGod, you doâbut because you donât understand it. Because Spencer Reid does not do things like this. He does not reach out in this way, not unless heâs overwhelmed, and even then, itâs different. This is intentional, isnât it?
Isnât it?
You inhale slowly, carefully, keeping your eyes trained on the screen as Kat Stratford delivers another sharp-witted insult. But youâre not really listening. Youâre waiting. Waiting for Spencer to shift, realize what heâs done, pull back, laugh nervously, and pretend like nothing happened.
Exceptâ
He doesnât.
If anything, he seems more relaxed than before. His breathing is even, his body settling into the couch like he belongs there. Like you belong there.
And then, before you can stop yourself before you can overthink it like you always do, you shift. Just slightly. Just enough that your shoulder leans into his arm.
The movement is so small and insignificant that if it were anyone else, they wouldnât notice. But this is Spencer. And Spencer notices everything.
You hear the sharp inhale of breath and feel the way his body tenses just for a momentâjust long enough to make your pulse hammer against your ribsâbefore he exhales slowly, deliberately.
And thenâ
Then his fingers brush against your shoulder.
A whisper of a touch, hesitant, almost like heâs waiting for you to pull away.
But you donât.
You canât.
So, he stays.
And for the rest of the movie, neither of you moves. Neither of you speak.
But everything, everything, has changed.
The credits roll. The music swells softly through the speakers. The dim glow of the screencasts flickering shadows across the room, but neither of you move.
Not even a little.
Your body is still pressed into his side, your shoulder tucked against him, his arm draped so loosely yet so deliberately around you that you canât tell if itâs keeping you close or if itâs keeping him grounded.
Maybe both.
Maybe thatâs what this has always been.
You donât know how long you sit there, frozen in the moment. You donât know if heâs thinking the same thing, if heâs waiting for you to speak, to move, to acknowledge that something unspoken has settled between you like a weighted silence.
But thenâ
âY/N,â Spencer murmurs.
Just your name.
Soft. Almost careful.
You inhale sharply, blinking yourself back into the moment. Your head turns toward him slowly, cautiously, like moving too fast might shatter whatever fragile balance is hanging between you.
And thenâ
Spencer shocks you.
Because the second your eyes meet his, the moment your lips part in silent questionâhe leans in.
And he kisses you.
Itâs not hesitant.
Itâs not unsure.
Itâs not like the Spencer Reid you thought you knewâthe one who second-guesses, who overthinks, who analyzes every possibility before making a move.
No.
This is something else entirely.
This is Spencer moving without logic, without calculation, without fear.
This is Spencer wanting.
And for a split second, your brain short-circuits, unable to process whatâs happening or understand how the man who had just spent two hours analyzing 10 Things I Hate About You is now kissing you like he means it.
But thenâ
Then you kiss him back.
And itâs over.
Whatever line had existed between youâwhatever barrier had kept you from stepping over the edgeâit's gone.
Spencer exhales against your lips like heâs been holding his breath for years. His fingers tighten against your shoulder, just slightly, pulling you in closer, pressing against you like heâs terrified youâll disappear if he lets go.
But youâre not going anywhere.
Not now.
Not after this.
â
Dating Spencer is like stepping into something timeless, warm, and constant. Itâs not rushed or overwhelming. Itâs not dramatic or chaotic. Itâs just Spencer. And that, in itself, is everything.
He doesnât love convention. He doesnât do big grand gestures unless they mean something. But he does the little things, the things that matter. The things that show how deeply and irrevocably he feels for you.
Like reading to you before bed.
It starts without much thought, just a quiet habit that becomes part of your nights. You never ask him to do it, and he never makes a point of it, but it happensânight after night, in the soft, dark quiet of your bedroom when the world slows, and nothing exists but the warmth of his arms and the soothing rhythm of his voice.
Some nights, itâs The Picture of Dorian Gray or a few pages from Pride and Prejudice. Other nights, itâs something entirely differentâa passage about an old poet, a historical retelling of an artistâs life, something obscure and worn, a book heâs read a hundred times before. It doesnât matter. You donât even remember the contents most nights.
What you remember is the sound of Spencerâs voice, the way it lulls you into a hazy, comfortable state within minutes. The way his fingers draw lazy circles on your arm as he reads, absentmindedly tracing patterns like he canât not be touching you. The way his lips brush the top of your head in soft, feather-light kisses like heâs saying goodnight without ever actually stopping the words on the page.
You never make it past a few minutes.
Thatâs how long it takes for his voice to pull you under, for the warmth of his chest to turn into a lullaby, for his steady breathing and gentle presence to quiet every thought in your mind.
And Spencer?
Spencer never minds.
Even when you fall asleep on him mid-sentence, even when his voice trails off and he realizes youâre gone, lost to dreams, he just smiles to himself, presses one last kiss to your temple, and quietly closes the book.
Because he loves this.
Loves you.
Even if he hasnât said it yet.
â
You knew Spencer was good with kidsâhe had an innate gentleness, a patience that most adults didnât possess. You had seen him with Jack before, seen the way he could calm a crying toddler with a few soft words and a fascinating fact about dinosaurs. But this? Watching him take care of a baby?
This is a whole different level.
JJ and Will had been desperate for a night outâjust a few hours, nothing crazyâand with Garcia tied up at some tech conference, JJ hesitantly asked you and Spencer to watch Henry. She had barely finished asking before Spencer nodded, assuring her that he had plenty of experience with child development and cognitive growth.
Now, an hour into babysitting, you sit on the couch in quiet awe as Spencer moves around the living room, cradling Henry against his chest like itâs the most natural thing in the world.
"Statistically speaking, infants exposed to language early on are more likely to develop higher literacy skills in adolescence," Spencer muses softly, bouncing Henry gently in his arms as the baby babbles against his sweater. "So even though you might not understand this now, Henry, I think you'd really enjoy learning about the Fibonacci sequence when youâre older."
You stare, biting your lip to contain the ridiculous grin threatening to take over your face. "Spencer, are you seriously lecturing a one-year-old on mathematical sequences?"
Spencer glances at you, unfazed. "He seems interested."
Henry lets out a delighted squeal, gripping a fistful of Spencerâs cardigan and yanking with surprising strength.
"AhâHenry, no, that's myâ" Spencer stops mid-sentence as Henry starts giggling, his tiny fingers still tangled in the fabric. Instead of pulling away, Spencer just sighs in resignation, adjusting his hold so Henry can comfortably rest his cheek against his shoulder.
And oh, no.
Your heart is gone.
Your ovaries? Destroyed.
Because Spencerâsweet, brilliant, slightly awkward Spencerâis standing there in JJâs living room, holding a baby like he was made for it, rubbing gentle circles on Henryâs back as he hums absentmindedly.
And you are not okay.
"Youâre good at this," you murmur before you can stop yourself, watching how he instinctively shifts to sway Henry slightly, lulling him between sleep and contentment.
Spencer shrugs, but thereâs a soft pink dusting his cheeks. "Itâs just⌠knowing how to respond to their needs. Babies need security and reassurance. If they feel safe, they thrive." He glances at you then, his voice quieter. "It's not complicated."
But it is.
Because suddenly, your brain is not thinking about just this night. Itâs not just thinking about babysitting Henry. Itâs thinking about Spencer as a father, Spencer with his own baby in his arms, rocking them just like this, whispering facts to lull them to sleep, pressing soft kisses to their tiny forehead.
And the thought wrecks you.
JJ has no idea what sheâs done by asking you to babysit.
Because now?
Now, you are painfully aware that Spencer Reid would be the best dad in the world.
And you really need to go splash cold water on your face before you say something insane.
The drive is quiet at first, a comfortable kind of silence, filled only with the hum of the engine and the faint rustling of Spencer shifting beside you. The weight of the night still lingers, the softness of it, the warmthâSpencer holding Henry, the easy way heâd cared for him, the way it had done things to you that you werenât entirely sure you were ready to name yet.
"Are you dropping me off," Spencer asks suddenly, his voice cutting through the stillness, "or am I coming over?"
Your hands tighten slightly on the steering wheel.
The question is simple. Straightforward. But thereâs something deeper beneath it, something unspoken. Because this isnât the first time Spencer has stayed over. But tonight, with the way youâre feeling, with the way you want himâreally want himâthe meaning feels different.
Your pulse picks up.
You donât answer right away, not because you donât know what you want, but because you do.
Because you want him to come over. Because you want him in your bed for more than just resting. Because youâve wanted it for a while now, but neither of you have crossed that line yet.
And suddenly, it feels like Spencer knows exactly what youâre thinking.
Heâs watching you, quiet, observant, his fingers resting lightly against his knee as he waits for your response. He doesnât push, doesnât pryâhe just waits.
You swallow, exhaling slowly before finally speaking. "Come over."
Spencer doesnât say anything at first. But when you glance at him out of the corner of your eye, his lips are pressed together, his fingers twitching slightlyânervous energy, anticipation, something else.
"Okay," he says finally, voice quiet but firm.
And thatâs all.
You donât talk for the rest of the drive.
But you feel everything.
The way his hand rests between you is so close to yours but not quite touching. The way your breaths sync up is slow but uneven, charged with something you both know is coming.
When you finally pull into your parking spot, turn off the car, and steal one last glance at him, Spencer doesnât hesitate.
He just unbuckles his seatbelt, pushes open the door, and follows you inside.
Spencer follows without hesitation but doesnât move past the doorway immediately. He lingers, standing just inside your apartment, watching as you set your keys down on the counter, as you exhale slowly, as you try to steady yourself against the weight of what this night is turning into.
You turn back to him then, and the sight of him standing thereâhands tucked into his pockets, shifting slightly on his feet, looking at you like heâs trying so hard to figure out what happens nextâmakes your stomach flip.
Heâs waiting for you.
Waiting for permission.
You take a step forward, closing some of the space between you. Spencer watches you carefully, his breath hitching just slightly, his fingers twitching where they rest at his sides.
Spencer nods. Swallows. Then, in a voice barely above a whisper, he asks, âAre we just sleeping?â
The question hangs between you, thick with implication, and thatâs when it happensâthe shift from nervous anticipation to something else.
You step closer again, close enough that you can feel the warmth radiating from his body, close enough that if either of you moved just slightly, youâd be touching.
And then, softly, hesitantly, you reach for his wrist, fingers brushing against the skin just above the hair tie he still wears, the one you gave him so long ago.
âI donât know,â you admit, voice barely above a whisper. âDo you want to just sleep?â
Spencerâs breath catches. His eyes flicker to your lips, then back up again.
âNo,â he murmurs. âNot really.â
And thatâs all it takes.
Because suddenly, youâre kissing him.
Or maybe he kisses youâyou donât know who moves first, donât care, because all that matters is the way his hands are suddenly on your waist, pulling you closer, the way his lips part against yours, slow and deep and wanting.
Itâs different from the previous kisses you have shared. And as his hands slide up your back, as you press yourself into him like youâve been waiting forever for this, as he exhales sharply against your mouth because heâs finally getting to have youâ
You know neither of you will be getting much sleep tonight.
The first time you and Spencer had sex was nothing short of mind-blowingâat least for him.
You hadnât known just how little experience he had until later when he mumbled something against your skin about only having done this once before, his voice laced with disbelief and something like awe.
But it wouldn't have changed anything even if you had known beforehand. It had started so slow, like neither of you wanted to rush like you were both trying to memorize each other in ways you hadnât been able to before.
Spencer had been nervous at firstânot clumsy, not hesitant in a way that made you think he didnât want this, but careful, intentional, like he wanted to make sure he was doing everything right. Like he was terrified of messing up, of not being enough.
But God, was he more than enough.
Because once he got past the nerves, once he stopped thinking and started feelingâ
It was everything.
He touched you like he was discovering something new like he was learning you in real time. His fingers mapped the soft curves of your body, memorizing the way your breath hitched when he kissed your neck and how you sighed when his hands gripped your waist.
And when you guided him, when you whispered what you liked against his lips when you told him exactly how to moveâ
That was when he really fell apart.
Because Spencer thrives on knowledge, learning, on understanding. And now, he was learning youâlearning what made you shiver, what made you moan, what made you clutch at his shoulders and gasp his name in a way that sent a shudder through him so deep he thought he might break apart completely.
By the time you were actually together, when he finally slid inside you with a deep, shaky moan, his hands gripping your hips like you were the only thing keeping him groundedâhe knew.
He knew he was ruined for anything else.
Because nothingânot the one experience he had before, not the books he had read, not the theories or statisticsâcould have ever prepared him for this.
For you.
And when he came undone, his forehead pressed against yours, his breath warm and ragged, your name tumbling from his lips like a prayerâ
It was the closest thing to heaven he had ever known.
You pulled Spencer on top of you without hesitation, letting his exhausted body flop onto yours, his full weight pressing you into the mattress in the best possible way. He didnât resist or try to roll away or give you spaceâhe just let himself be and melt into you like he belonged there.
You traced slow, lazy shapes on his bare, sweat-slicked back, feeling the way his breathing gradually evened out, the rise and fall of his chest pressing against yours in a steady rhythm. His damp curls tickled your skin where his face was buried against your neck, but you didnât dare move. You liked having him close like this.
Then you felt itâSpencer taking a deep breath like he was about to say something important.
His voice was muffled, soft, still laced with lingering wonder as he exhaled against your skin.
âDid⌠was that good for you?â
You smiled at the ceiling, your fingers still tracing mindless patterns along his spine. He was too cute. Too him.
âIt was amazing, Spencer.â
He didnât respond immediately, but you felt him tense slightly, his arms tightening around your waist as he let out a small, almost sheepish exhale.
âIâm sorry it was over so quickly.â
You laughed, tilting your head so you could press a soft kiss to the crown of his head. âSpencer, you have nothing to apologize for.â
He huffed, shifting slightly so his face was visible again, his flushed cheeks still pressed against your skin. âBut Iââ
âNope.â You cut him off before he could finish whatever self-deprecating thought was about to leave his mouth. âI loved it. And besidesâŚâ You trailed your fingers down his spine, feeling the shiver it sent through him. âNow that the nerves are out of the way, weâve got all night to take our time.â
Spencer froze for half a second before lifting his head just enough to look at you properly, his eyes wide, dark, needy.
âAll night?â he repeated, voice barely above a whisper.
You smirked, fingers tightening ever so slightly on his back. âMmmhmm.â
And just like thatâ
Spencer wasnât exhausted anymore.
The night stretched long and slow, turning into early morning, and in those quiet, intimate hours, you discovered thingsâthings that made you grin, things that made Spencer writhe, things that neither of you had ever put words to before but suddenly felt so obvious now.
Like hickeys.
Spencer really liked hickeys.
You hadnât meant to leave one, not at first. But the moment your lips latched onto the sensitive skin of his neck, the second your teeth scraped lightly against his pulse point, Spencer let out a sound that was almost embarrassingâa sharp, gasping whine that had his fingers digging into your waist, his hips bucking up against you without thought.
And just like that, you knew.
âYou like that?â you murmured against his skin, already smirking, already marking another spot just below his jaw.
Spencer shivered violently, his breath stuttering, his grip on you tightening. âIââ He cut himself off with a choked noise, arching into you again.
Yeah. He definitely liked it.
And then there was the other discovery that made your entire night.
Spencer was a certified bottom.
He liked giving up control, liked you taking the lead, liked it when you moved on top of him, guiding him, making him fall apart underneath you.
And oh, he thrived in it.
Especially when your hands threaded into his hair, whispered things to him, and praised him in that sweet, teasing tone that made him whimper.
And God, the way his hands roamed when you were on topâ
Which led to the third discovery of the night.
Spencer was a tits guy.
Sure, he loved all of youâhe worshipped every inch of you with those big, eager hands, his lips, his tongue, taking his time, savoring you like he had all the time in the world.
But your boobs?
Those really got him going.
Maybe it was because of the angle, the way they bounced when you moved, or maybe it was the way they fit so perfectly in his hands, how he could squeeze, cup, and knead them just the way he liked.
Maybe it was the fact that he could bury his face in them, groaning as he nuzzled into your chest, leaving open-mouthed kisses against your skin, mumbling about how perfect you were, how soft, how he never wanted to stop.
And when you realized?
When you teased him about it?
He turned a deep shade of red, sputtering something about biological instincts and aesthetic appeal, but the second you rolled your hips and dragged his hands back to your chest, his words died completely.
âOh my God,â he groaned, his head thudding back against the pillow, his fingers squeezing you almost desperately.
And yeahâ
You really liked that discovery, too.
â
Spencer had barely stepped into the bullpen when Derekâs booming voice rang through the air like a damn foghorn.
"Pretty boy!"
Spencer flinched. He knew that tone. That taunting, giddy, Derek-is-about-to-ruin-your-life tone.
And thenâbefore Spencer could so much as blinkâDerek was grinning at him, full teeth, eyes sparkling with absolute mischief as he pointed directly at Spencerâs neck.
âOh no,â Spencer mumbled under his breath, instinctively reaching up as if he could somehow erase the evidence.
But it was too late. Because Derek had seen it. The hickey.
The hickey.
The one you had left on him Saturday night. Or was it Sunday morning? Honestly, it didnât even matterâwhat mattered was that he had forgotten to cover it up, and now? Now, Derek was never going to let him live this down.
âDamn, kid,â Derek laughed, sauntering over with the confidence of a man who lived for this kind of teasing. âSo you are gettinâ some.â
Spencer groaned, his entire face going up in flames. âDerekââ
âNah, nah, donât even try to deny it,â Derek interrupted, shaking his head like he couldnât believe what he was seeing. âThat is a grade-A hickey, man. Iâm talkinâ official, stamped, certified âthis man is gettinâ wreckedâ level.â
âDerek, please,â Spencer hissed, glancing around desperately as if he could somehow stop this from escalating.
Too bad the damage was already done. Because JJ and Penelope were already staring. And then laughing. Loudly.
âOh my God,â Penelope gasped, practically shrieking with delight. âSpencer! Look at you! Our boy is all grown up and getting marked up like a romance novel protagonist!â
âOkay, stop,â Spencer pleaded, feeling absolutely doomed.
JJ just smirked, sipping her coffee like this was the best entertainment sheâd had in weeks. âSo, how was your weekend?â
Spencer exhaled sharply, adjusting his bag on his shoulder and making a beeline for his desk, determined to escape. âI hate all of you.â
Derek just grinned, following after him with his arms crossed. âNah, Pretty Boy, you love us. Just not as much as you love your girlâwho, by the way, did some damage on you, man. She got territorial.â
Spencer slammed his forehead onto his desk with a loud thud. JJ and Penelope cackled. Derek patted him on the back like he had just won something. And Spencer?
Spencer knew damn well that this was never going away.
â
Spencer was always composed. Always Spencer. Polite, intelligent, articulate. The type of man who didnât act impulsively, who thought through everything before making a move.
Except, apparently, when it came to you.
Because when it came to you, Spencer had no self-control.
And nowhere was that more apparent than tonightâright nowâwhen he had you pressed up against the bar in the middle of a crowded room, his lips hot against your neck, his hands resting just a little too low on your waist, and his very obvious boner grinding against your ass.
This was not the Spencer the team knew. This was not the awkward, hesitant genius who stumbled over his words and overanalyzed his every move.
No, this Spencer was different.
This Spencer wanted you, and he didnât care who saw.
This Spencer also happened to be a few glasses of champagne deep in his birthday celebration with the team.
âSpencer,â you hissed, gripping the edge of the bar for support as another firm roll of his hips had heat coiling low in your stomach.
He hummed against your neck, his lips still moving, still marking you in the same way he had been since he discovered how much he loved leaving hickeys on you.
âHmm?â he murmured, voice low, dragging his tongue lightly over the fresh mark before pressing an open-mouthed kiss against it.
Your grip tightened on the bar. âWeâre in public,â you reminded him, but your voice was breathy, weak, barely convincing.
Spencer chuckledâactually chuckledâagainst your skin, his fingers flexing against your hips. âAnd?â
And?
And?
You blinked, stunned by his sheer audacity, by the fact that Spencer Reid was grinding up against you in a public bar like he had every right to.
Like he owned you.
And maybe he did.
You hated to stop him. God, you hated it.
But Spencer was too drunk.
It wasnât that he was wastedâSpencer didnât drink often, and when he did, he rarely overindulgedâbut tonight, between rounds of celebratory drinks with the team and the way he had relaxed into your presence, he was just tipsy enough that his usual inhibitions were gone.
And normally, you wouldnât mind. Normally, youâd love seeing him like this, out of his shell, more bold in his affections. But Spencer was intoxicated, and you were sober, and you refusedârefusedâto take advantage of that.Â
So, with a deep breath, you gently pried his hands off your waist, turning around to face him fully.
âSpencer,â you murmured, voice soft but firm.
He blinked, slow and dazed, his lips swollen from where he had been so intent on marking you up. âHuh?â
You cupped his face, thumbs brushing against his flushed cheeks. âWe need to get you home, okay?â
His brows furrowed. âButââ
âNo âbuts,ââ you interrupted, kissing his cheek quickly before pulling away completely. âCome on, before Derek starts making bets about whether youâll take shots with him.â
Spencer groaned, looking devastatedâlike a scolded puppy who had just been denied his favorite treat. His hands flexed at his sides like he wanted to pull you back, but even in his inebriated state, he listened.
With one last longing look at you, he sighed. âFine.â
You smiled, taking his hand and leading him back to the group. The second you announced, âIâm taking Spencer home,â a chorus of hoots and hollers erupted from your friends.
Derek practically howled with laughter. âDamn, Pretty Boy, sheâs gotta put you to bed already?â
âI hate all of you,â Spencer grumbled as Penelope cackled.
JJ smirked into her drink. âDonât forget to hydrate him.â
âOh, I will,â you assured her, rolling your eyes as you steered Spencer toward the door.
After a few more teasing remarks and one last dramatic wolf whistle from Derek, you managed to load Spencer into the passenger seat of your car.
As soon as you pulled out of the parking lot, you reached for the stereo and turned on classical musicâsomething calming that would hopefully settle the restless energy still buzzing under Spencerâs skin.
And sure enough, within minutes, he was already melting into the seat, head lolling to the side as the soft notes of Debussy filled the quiet space.
You smiled to yourself, reaching over to squeeze his hand.
âAlmost home, Spence,â you murmured.
He sighed deeply, squeezing back. âYouâre the best,â he mumbled, voice slurred with exhaustion.
The rest of the night had been easy enoughâgetting Spencer home, guiding his sleepy, clingy self into bed, listening to him mumble drunken nonsense as you pulled the covers over him. He had curled around you the second you lay down beside him, burying his face in your neck, sighing deeply as if you were the cure to whatever hangover awaited him in the morning.
Before you had drifted off, you had set up a glass of water and some painkillers on his bedside table, making sure everything he needed would be right there when he woke up.
Now, in the golden light of morning, you were sitting up in bed, back against the headboard, reading while Spencer slowly resurfaced from his alcohol-induced slumber.
He stirred first, shifting slightly under the sheets, letting out a sleepy little grunt before blinking blearily up at you.
For a moment, he just stared.
His hair was a complete mess, curls sticking up in every direction, and his face was still warm and soft from sleep. His lips parted slightly, his eyes unfocused as he tried to piece together where he was, why he felt like this, and why the hell you looked so perfectly content beside him while he felt like his brain was swimming in molasses.
ââŚMorning,â he croaked, voice raw from sleep.
You glanced down at him, smiling over the top of your book. âMorning, baby.â
He blinked slowly, still processing. Then, realization dawnedâthe bar, the teasing, you dragging him home like an overgrown toddler.
He groaned, flopping onto his back and throwing an arm over his face. âI was drunk.â
You laughed softly, closing your book and setting it aside. âYep.â
He peeked out from under his arm, his lips twitching slightly. âDid IâŚ?â
âYou were very affectionate in public,â you teased, shifting to face him. âLike, very affectionate.â
Spencer made a noise between a groan and a laugh, rubbing his face. âDerekâs never going to let me live this down, is he?â
âI didnât let anybody see, Spence.â
He sighed dramatically before turning his head to look at you again, his expression softening. His eyes flickered to the bedside table, taking in the water and painkillers, the small gesture that made something warm and fond settle in his chest.
âYou took care of me,â he murmured.
You rolled your eyes playfully. âOf course I did.â
Spencer didnât say anything momentarily, just looking at you like he was trying to memorize you in the morning light. Then, without warning, he reached for you, pulling you down into his arms, burying his face in your shoulder.
âI love you,â he mumbled against your skin, voice still thick with sleep.
Your heart stopped.
Completely.
Frozen in time, in this moment, in him.
Spencer had said it. So casually, so effortlessly, like it had always been there, sitting just beneath the surface, waiting for the right moment to slip out. Like it wasnât something earth-shattering, something that made your breath catch and your entire world tilt.
You barely breathed as you whispered, "You love me?"
You felt his lips curve slightly against your skinâsoft, sleepy, so sure.
"I love you," he repeated, voice muffled but certain, like it wasnât even a question in his mind. Like it never had been.
The warmth of his words settled over you, seeping into every inch of your skin, curling around your heart like the softest, safest thing youâd ever known.
Suddenly, you were moving, pulling back just enough to cup his face in your hands and tilt his head so that his eyes met yoursâstill drowsy, still heavy with sleep, but so incredibly full. You smiled, soft and disbelieving like you couldnât believe you had gotten this lucky. Like you couldnât believe he was yours.
"I love you, too."
Spencer blinked, like it was his turn to freeze like his still-sleepy brain was trying to process that you had said it back. Then he smiledâwide and beautiful, the kind of smile that made his dimples show, the kind of smile that made your chest ache in the best possible way.
And without another word, he kissed you.
Slow, deep, certain.
Like he had just decidedâright here, right nowâthat he was never letting you go.

Azriel finds you in the cold.
Azriel x Reader (780 words, based on a request!, warnings: hypothermia, angst)
Masterlist here
~~
You were used to the cold. You grew up in its unforgiving teeth and clawed past winters when the bite felt almost too strong. There were methods to survive it, tactics to overcome the painful numbness that crept along your skin, but there didnât seem to be a pattern to this cold. You were alone and this chill was with you.Â
You should have listened to Azriel.Â
Itâs not a normal snow, he had warned, you should wait for me. But everyone seemed to forget that you were new to being fae, and when you were new, you felt invincible. You could live through the winters of your mortal years without a second thought. You couldnât die from snow or ice or sleet.Â
Or, so you thought.Â
You huddled against the tree trunk, your fingers stinging and burningâbut that didnât make sense because the only substance that surrounded you was the blizzard. You could feel your body begin to slow, movements becoming labored when they shouldnât. You hadnât felt this kind of weakness since before becoming fae.Â
Azriel was going to kill you; heâd be so furious to find your body here, surrounded by nothing on the outskirts of the winter court. Each soft whisper heâd pressed to your skin was loaded with adoration and praise for you being his mate above all else. Heâd waited for you, he would tell you, and now you were going to die a meaningless death.Â
Your grip on your cloak was concrete and rigid, but it was pointless. The snow had already seeped into the material and chilled you to the bone.Â
You were tired.Â
Closing your eyes seemed like the right decision. Sleep would help you gain the strength to sift through the white haze and find the border to these lands.Â
Your lashes brushed your cheek and darkness felt warm.Â
Until the incessant tug at your ribs became unbearable. Until a voice was calling you home and the concept of home ticked your heart rate up a beat.Â
âOpen your eyes. Please,â the voice stressed. Your body was numb and nothing was coherent over the whistling wind.Â
There was pressure on your face and the air felt more stagnant, but everything else remained unchanged.Â
Going against every muscle and desire in your being, you fought the weight of your eyelids and were met with the image of Azriel in the blistering cold. He was wrapped up to his neck as you were, but he was taking all of it off.Â
âNo,â you mumbled, the word barely a sound in the wind.Â
Azrielâs gaze snapped up to you, his hands still clutching the scarf he was prying from his shoulders. His hands, with no gloves to cover his skin, cupped your cheeks. You couldnât feel the heat of his skin, but you could feel the quivering of his fingers.Â
âGood,â he seemed to mumble to himself. âGood, youâre awake. Okay, okayâŚâÂ
It was nonsensical and your brain was far too muddled to make sense of it. You only raised the dead weight of your arm to wrap stiff fingers around the material of his cloak.Â
âKeep⌠it on,â you whispered.Â
A spark of something shot across Azrielâs face. His lips parted as snow settled on his brow. âI need to take it off. I need to get you warm.âÂ
You let out a shuddering breath. Azriel, with his brows painfully furrowed, watched you for only a second more before he continued his motion to get you pressed to more of his skin and wrap the remaining area of his winter wear around you.Â
âI love you, do you hear me?â Azriel spoke by your ear, the tone of his voice unwavering despite how his body shook. As if he wanted the strength to seep into your bones and warm you. As if that would work.Â
He stood with you in his arms, your body now jarred by the change in temperature. He was moving quickly but not flying. Through a bleary blink, you saw the ice forming on the juncture of his wings.
âAnswer me, y/n,â Azriel demanded.
âIâm tired,â you replied.Â
âI know. I need to get past the border and then weâll be home. You can sleep then, but not before.âÂ
You hummed a response.Â
Azriel seemed to tense beneath you. âI love you,â he repeated. âPlease donât do this.âÂ
You wanted to tell him that you werenât doing anythingâthat it was too cold for him to be here. But in the comfort of his arms, you let the darkness of his shadows lull you to sleep. In your dreams, you heard your name, over and over.Â

Ellie and reader having sex, but Ellie starts to talk dirty and reader gets embarrassed so she hides her face in ellies neck. But Ellie teases and tells her not to hide bc she's so pretty. (Imagining this w/ strap in missionary position if u could do that'd be wonderfulđ)
shes so awhzjxbag ok i cant . also i got really carried away but uhh hushh warnings: just strap on smut, everything said in the ask;)))
: ĚĚâ "you hear that?" ellie asked, smiling proudly as she looked down at you. you closed your eyes and tried to focus on whatever she meant, but the only sound entering your used, tired brain was your own moans. you strained your hearing and slowly drifted off to more distant things, like the strap pumping in and out of your desperate cunt, messily and noisily. "such a mess..." ellie chuckled, listening to the sloppy act. "but it's not my fault you're so wet for me."
: ĚĚâ you gulped, losing a hold of your concentration. your foggy mind couldn't think of an answer - did you do something wrong? should you apologise? or was it some kind of a praise? "elsâ" you started, but the long s turned into a melodious moan.
: ĚĚâ "speak up, sweetie." ellie whispered, leaning down to press a kiss on your forehead. you used the moment of closeness to hold the back of her neck, not letting her pull away. she cocked her head to the side, your gaping lips brushing her earlobe as another whine escaped your throat. you quickly pursed your lips, letting yourself make only muffled sounds. but you didn't last long, as every thrust and every inaudible whimper seemed to forcefully open your mouth from the inside. "don't hold back, i want to hear you." ellie reassured, but much to your surprise she didn't wait with her ear next to your face to hear your response. she tilted her head to face you, making you feel her piercing, but not judgemental, gaze.
: ĚĚâ you honored her with another moan, your eyes rolling to the back of your head, to the point your eyelids uncontrollably closed. "mhâ fuck." you groaned, your fists clenching around the bed sheets as your chest raised in a deep breath.
: ĚĚâ "i can make you feel way better." ellie bit her bottom lip, holding back a proud smile. "i can make you be way louder. do you want that?" you huffed, way too dumb to speak up. she could as well start talking about the weather now, and you wouldn't have any idea how hilarious it is. "tell me, doll."
: ĚĚâ you swallowed up another pornographic sound which wanted to sneak out of your throat. ellie's questions were usually easy to answer, so you thought a simple, weak "yes" will satisfy her.
: ĚĚâ yet, her only response was an amused "yes... what?" as she brushed your messy hair out of your face.
: ĚĚâ your face flushed, almost burnt with heat. your hands tightened their grip, bringing her closer, making your face find a spot to hide in - the crook of her neck. "iâ" your lips parted again, brushing against her skin. she let out a sound similiar to your whine, as if to mock you, yet there was a loving undertone to it. "want you to make me feel good, els." you quickly murmured, finding a one second break.
: ĚĚâ "well, i want to see your pretty face as i do." she whispered in a gentle tone, but didn't move away. "you have no idea how beautiful you look under me, with half lidded and watery eyes." she continued and your body slowly got rid of the previous tension, your grip on her also relaxing. she finally withdrew, glaring down at you. "just don't move and look pretty for me, yeah?"

â ⚠⥠too hot to handle (ěĄëŻźę¸°Â âĄÂ s.mg)
your neighbor has more to give than you bargained for.
style:Â bullet drabble pairing:Â non idol!mingi x fem!reader word count:Â 1.8k tags/warnings:Â smut, pwp, light fluff, neighbor!mingi, fem!reader, big dick, like monster cock level she can't do anything with it, sub!mingi, like super sub, dom!reader, teasing, praise, heavy use of good boy/perfect boy etc., makeouts, grinding, oral f!receiving, face riding, lots of dirty talk, dick on clit action, controlled orgasms, edging and overstim, eventual piv notes: this has been on the brain for longer than i could ever tell you so hopefully it's a fun one x
[masterlist]



The problem with your neighbor isnât that heâs hot. It isnât that heâs funny and charming, and it definitely isnât the crush bubbling between the both of you. Those would be normal problems, problems you tell your best friends about.Â
The problem with your neighbor is that his dick is too big.Â
You find that out at the same time you find out this giant who lives next door to you with the deep voice and a penchant for calling you âpretty girlâ is actually not the dominant you assumed he would be.
Mingi is actually shockingly, surprisingly submissive.Â
And you shockingly, surprisingly, love that more than you ever could have guessed.Â
You figure that out while youâre straddling him on the couch, and when you roll your hips just right you feel the impressive hardness of him and hear the neediest whimper youâve ever heard from a man at the exact same time.Â
It takes you thirty minutes more of making out and shedding clothes for you to get a good look at his cock, and when you do it grinds the whole almost-fuck to a stop.
And -
âI know,â He breathes, his eyes softening, âitâs okay if you donât want to keep going.âÂ
You blink at him, unable to hide the trepidation in your eyes, âItâs not that I donât want to try,âÂ
âItâs okay,â He sounds dejected, but also like this has happened to him before and that fills you with nothing but sharp determination.Â
âHang on,â You lay a hand over his bare chest, still straddling his lap, the impressive length and girth of his cock standing between you.Â
âListen,â He sighs, âI get it,âÂ
âMingi,â You interrupt him, âIâm not kicking you out,âÂ
âYouâre not?â His eyebrows raise.Â
âNo,â You smile, âI do think we should maybe⌠work up to things,âÂ
âOf course,â He rushes to agree, his hands sliding up and down your bare thighs.Â
âItâs just,â You grimace, âI havenât had sex in a long time, like a really long, kind of embarrassing amount of time,âÂ
âThatâs okay,â He soothes.Â
âIâd be lying if I said I thought I could take you,â You sigh, âbut Mingi, Iâd really, really like to work up to it,âÂ
âYeah?â He grins like he just won the lottery.Â
âUh-huh,â You swallow a little nervously, âjust maybe not tonight?âÂ
âRight,â He nods, âanything you want,âÂ
âIs that okay?â You check, sliding closer to him, his bare cock brushing against your abdomen.Â
âOkay?â He nods, âOf course, itâs⌠I mean, I like you. I want to do whatever you want, thatâs what I want,âÂ
Heâs a little flustered, still walking a nervous line like you might change your mind, or heâs worried about coming on too strong, and you take him in for a moment.Â
Somewhere inside, you find the boldness to ask the question youâve wanted to ask since you heard his first whimpered moan, âMingi,â You murmur, âis that what youâre into? Doing what I want?â
His eyes flick over your face, but you donât miss the way they darken up at the idea and he nods, âIf youâre into that,â he says, âbut I can take over if you need me to,âÂ
You wonder how many girls have begged him to be more dominant. How many girls have pushed him to go to a place that isnât entirely comfortable for him, when he clearly wants the opposite.Â
âIâm into that,â You tell him, âdonât worry,âÂ
You both click together like kinky little puzzle pieces, and despite the fact that youâve never had his dick properly inside you, youâve been having sex for weeks.Â
You get creative.Â
Mingi and his giant cock seem to love nothing more than making you feel good, especially when you use his big body to get yourself off.Â
The first few times you hook up itâs the basics, getting to know each other, getting to know each other's bodies and what makes each other tick⌠but by the fourth time? The fifth?Â
The fourth time youâre a horny mess, probably a breath away from ovulating and ready to climb his tall ass like a tree, and so all the hesitation youâve had about being too much for each other flies right out the window.Â
With him pinned to your bed you ride his thigh like itâs a pillow, barely looking at him as you get yourself off, and when youâre done all he can do is beg you to do that again, but on his face.Â
He whimpers when his tongue first slips inside your folds, when he feels the weight of your body sink onto him. His hands grip your ass and between sucks and moans he begs you to ride him, to fuck his face and never stop.Â
With your hands on the headboard you take it just like before, eyes closed, head thrown back, your moans spilling out into the room .Â
He comes untouched that time, ropes and ropes of his hot cum painting his chest and stomach, panting apologies into your thighs, and thatâs when everything changes.Â
Now you tell him when to come. How to come. Where to come.Â
You discover that he loves to be edged and you love to be overstimulated.Â
A perfect combination of opposites.Â
You make him beg for things, ache for things, his cock leaking against your lips as he whines.Â
âPlease, please, just a taste, just a lick, please, god, please,âÂ
And sometimes you let him have it, but most of the time you donât.Â
He seems to like that even more.Â
Mingi and his big cock have found so many other ways to get off that you almost never want to give into having him inside you, because what if your dynamic changes? The anticipation is the delicious part, the denial, the almost-almosts.Â
The way he begs when heâs on his knees between your splayed thighs, his shaft rubbing against your slick folds, sliding over your clit - thatâs when you almost break.Â
âYou f-feel so good,â He shudders, thrusting his hips slowly back and forth so that his cock slides up and down your aching center.Â
âMm,â You sigh, relaxing into the mattress, âgood boy,âÂ
His cock twitches at that, âThank you, thank you,âÂ
âGo faster, baby,â You beckon him down with a come-hither motion, âfuck me like you mean it,âÂ
He freezes, âI-inside?âÂ
âDid I say inside?â You counter.Â
âNo, no, of course, Iâm sorry,â He stumbles past that assumption and shakes his head, a pink blush spreading across his cheeks.Â
You nod, a silent push to get him to move faster, and he scrambles to comply.Â
He braces himself over your spread form on the bed, your hips slotting more tightly together, and then he braces his forearms on either side of you and starts to thrust.Â
âFaster,âÂ
His hips speedup.Â
Every brush of his shaft over your swollen clit makes you want to writhe and moan beneath him, but keeping control is the fun part for him, so you stay focused.Â
âThatâs it, baby,â You brush your fingers through his shaggy locks, âsuch a good boy,âÂ
He moans, but keeps the pace.Â
âMm,â You sigh through an almost moan, âbaby, your cock feels so good inside me,âÂ
His hips jerk, a stammered groan on his lips.Â
The tease was meant for him, a reminder of where his cock isnât, but heat spreads through your belly at the idea of what he might feel stretching you open for real.Â
âSay it,â You open your legs wider, angling your hips to get the sensation right.Â
âYour pussy feels so good,â He pants.Â
âDonât stop,â You direct him again.Â
âSo tight,â He whines, âso wet,âÂ
âMore, baby.âÂ
âS-so perfect,â He shudders, his eyes tightly closed, âthank you for l-letting me fuck you,âÂ
âOh,â You murmur warmly, âthatâs my good boy.âÂ
He chokes, his thrusts getting harder, a relentless rut of his wet cock against your dripping pussy and you bite down on your tongue at the impulse to beg him to fuck you for real. Youâre dizzy, orgasm drunk, and your nails dig into his hips to hold yourself steady.Â
âPlease,â He pants suddenly, eyes flashing open to find yours, âplease, may I come?âÂ
Youâre too close for that, âHold it, baby,âÂ
His expression tightens in tense control, âP-please,â
âIâm close,â You tell him, âhold it,â
Tears prick at his eyes and you feel the wet string of his precum on your belly, but he listens.Â
A moan pulls free from your chest then, your pleasure fast approaching, and you breathe in hot fits and starts.Â
âCome on my cock,â He begs, pleads, âIâm so good for you,âÂ
Your orgasm crashes into you sideways, the relentless stroke over your clit sending you into pleasured little shakes.Â
âPlease, I c-canât, I canât hold it,â He fists the sheets, his voice a thready wet pant.Â
âCome,â You give him all the permission he needs, âcome inside me, baby, fill me up,âÂ
He shudders, thrusting hard twice more, and with groaning moans he spills his release all across your belly, spattering you both in hot cum.Â
Heâs shaking, trembling, but you run your fingers through his hair and soothe him soft like always. Heâs your good boy, your perfect boy, your most obedient boy.Â
In the aftermath, when you both come down from your messy, full body pleasure, you find each other in the sheets.Â
With kisses across his knuckles you nuzzle into him.Â
âNext time, I want you for real,âÂ
Heâs hesitant at first, but youâre ready, youâre sure.Â
The next time, you play softer. Youâve learned each other so well, but this time itâs your turn to be vulnerable with your body and he doesnât let you down for a second.Â
Itâs a slow process, full of sweetness and foreplay. Heâs learned how to make your body sing over weeks and weeks of hookups, and he knows he can make you wet enough, relaxed enough to take him.Â
The stretch is achingly delicious.Â
And once heâs finally inside you for the first time, your bodies connected in every possible way, you realize he was worth the wait.Â
And you fit together in more ways than one.Â
As it turns out, your boyfriendâs big dick isnât such a problem after all.Â
