Hii, I hope you are doing great !
I saw that your requests are open and I was wondering if you could write something about y/n not being famous and she is not accepted and treated badly by Harryā€™s celebrity group of friends which will put to test her relationship with Harry.
Thank you so much, and happy holidays !! šŸ’•
A/N: This was such a fun request to write! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Itā€™s a mix of angst, fluff, and a lot of emotion. Thank you for trusting me with this idea, and I hope it resonates with you!
Triggers: Emotional manipulation, unkind behavior, insecurity
Pairing: Harry Styles x Female!Reader (Y/N)

You knew it wouldnā€™t be easy.
Being with Harry meant stepping into a world so far removed from your own that at times, it felt like youā€™d fallen through the looking glass. It wasnā€™t that you doubted your love for him or his love for youā€”it was undeniable, unshakable. But you werenā€™t naĆÆve. You knew his fame came with its challenges, and the hardest one wasnā€™t the paparazzi or the scrutiny from strangers on the internet. It was his friends.
They werenā€™t all bad, of course. There were a few who made an effort to get to know you, to see you for who you were beyond the label of ā€œHarryā€™s girlfriend.ā€ But most of themā€¦ most of them didnā€™t.
Tonight was one of those nights.
The party was at one of Harryā€™s favorite spots in Los Angeles, a sleek, exclusive venue where everyone seemed to glitter with a level of confidence and beauty you couldnā€™t help but envy. Youā€™d been nervous from the start, clinging to Harryā€™s hand as he introduced you to people whose names you struggled to remember.
ā€œJust stick with me, love,ā€ heā€™d said earlier that evening, pressing a kiss to your temple. ā€œItā€™ll be fine.ā€
And for a while, it was. Harry stayed close, his arm around your waist as he guided you through the room. But then he was whisked away by someone wanting to discuss music, and you were left standing near the bar, nursing a drink and feeling utterly out of place.
Thatā€™s when the whispers started.
At first, you tried to ignore them, telling yourself you were imagining things. But the pointed glances, the half-smirks, and the subtle head tilts in your direction were impossible to miss.
ā€œDoes she even know who sheā€™s talking to?ā€
ā€œSheā€™s cute, butā€¦ I donā€™t get it. Harry could do so much better.ā€
ā€œShe looks so uncomfortable. Itā€™s kind of painful to watch.ā€
The words stung, each one landing like a small, sharp jab. You kept your head high, determined not to let it show. But when one of Harryā€™s friendsā€”a model youā€™d met once beforeā€”approached you with a patronizing smile, your resolve began to crack.
ā€œSo,ā€ she said, swirling her cocktail as she looked you up and down, ā€œhowā€™s it going, Y/N? Adjusting to allā€¦ this?ā€
ā€œItā€™s fine,ā€ you replied, forcing a polite smile.
ā€œMust be overwhelming,ā€ she continued, her tone dripping with faux concern. ā€œI mean, itā€™s not really your world, is it?ā€
You clenched your jaw, searching for a way out of the conversation. But before you could respond, she leaned in closer, lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper.
ā€œDonā€™t take it personally,ā€ she said, her smile sharp. ā€œItā€™s justā€¦ weā€™ve all known Harry for years. Weā€™ve seen him with people whoā€¦ well, letā€™s just say they were a better fit.ā€
Her words hit you like a slap, and you felt your chest tighten with a mix of hurt and anger. You didnā€™t want to give her the satisfaction of seeing how much sheā€™d gotten under your skin, so you excused yourself, heading for the nearest exit.
The cool night air was a welcome relief as you stepped outside, leaning against the railing and taking deep breaths. You tried to shake off her words, to remind yourself that they didnā€™t matter. But they did.
ā€œY/N?ā€
You turned to see Harry standing in the doorway, his brows furrowed in concern. He crossed the distance between you in a few quick strides, his hand coming to rest gently on your arm.
ā€œWhatā€™s wrong?ā€ he asked, his voice soft but urgent. ā€œIā€™ve been looking for you.ā€
You hesitated, unsure how to put your feelings into words. ā€œNothing,ā€ you said eventually, though the shakiness in your voice betrayed you. ā€œI justā€¦ needed some air.ā€
Harryā€™s eyes narrowed slightly, and you could see the gears turning in his head. ā€œY/N,ā€ he said, his tone firmer now. ā€œTell me the truth. What happened?ā€
For a moment, you considered brushing it off, pretending everything was fine. But then the hurt bubbled up to the surface, and before you could stop yourself, the words came spilling out.
ā€œI donā€™t belong here, Harry,ā€ you said, your voice breaking. ā€œIā€™ve tried, but your friendsā€¦ they donā€™t want me here. They think Iā€™m not good enough for you.ā€
Harryā€™s expression shifted from concern to something darkerā€”anger, though not directed at you. His jaw tightened, and he looked away for a moment, as if trying to rein in his emotions.
ā€œWho said that?ā€ he asked finally, his voice low and controlled.
ā€œIt doesnā€™t matter,ā€ you said quickly, not wanting to cause a scene. ā€œItā€™s not just one person. Itā€™s the way they look at me, the things they say when they think Iā€™m not listening. They donā€™t think Iā€™mā€¦ enough.ā€
Harryā€™s hand moved to cup your face, his thumb brushing away a stray tear. ā€œListen to me,ā€ he said, his voice steady but filled with emotion. ā€œYou are more than enough. Youā€™re everything. And if they canā€™t see that, then thatā€™s their problem, not yours.ā€
You swallowed hard, leaning into his touch. ā€œBut what if theyā€™re right?ā€ you whispered. ā€œWhat if Iā€™m justā€¦ not the kind of person who fits into your world?ā€
Harry shook his head, his eyes meeting yours with an intensity that made your breath catch. ā€œY/N, my world is wherever you are. None of thisā€ā€”he gestured toward the party insideā€”ā€œmeans anything without you. And if anyone thinks they can make you feel unwelcome or unworthy, theyā€™ll have to answer to me.ā€
You let out a shaky laugh, the weight on your chest easing slightly. ā€œYou canā€™t fight all your friends for me, Harry.ā€
He smiled then, his expression softening. ā€œI wonā€™t have to. Because once Iā€™m done having a word with them, theyā€™ll know better than to treat you like this again.ā€
Before you could respond, Harry pulled you into a hug, his arms wrapping around you like a shield. You felt the tension begin to melt away as you rested your head against his chest, his heartbeat steady and reassuring.
ā€œI love you,ā€ he murmured into your hair. ā€œAnd nothingā€”no oneā€”is going to change that.ā€
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”
True to his word, Harry didnā€™t let the matter drop. When the two of you returned to the party, he made a point of staying by your side, his presence a clear signal to anyone who dared to question your place in his life.
Later, you found yourself sitting on the couch in his dressing room as he paced back and forth, recounting the conversations heā€™d had with a few of his more tactless friends.
ā€œTheyā€™re idiots,ā€ he said, running a hand through his hair. ā€œI told them that if they canā€™t respect you, they canā€™t call themselves my friends.ā€
You watched him, your heart swelling with gratitude and love. ā€œHarry,ā€ you said softly, reaching out to take his hand. ā€œYou didnā€™t have to do all that.ā€
ā€œYes, I did,ā€ he said, sitting down beside you and pulling you into his lap. ā€œYouā€™re the most important person in my life, Y/N. And Iā€™ll do whatever it takes to make sure you know that.ā€
You smiled, resting your forehead against his. ā€œThank you,ā€ you whispered.
He kissed you then, slow and sweet, as if to remind you of everything you shared. And in that moment, you knew that no amount of judgment or criticism could ever come between you.
Because what you had with Harry was real. And nothing else mattered.

I'm gonna be real for a minute, and i hope i can phrase this right; i dont feel bad when i get misgendered. whether on purpose or accident, I don't feel anxious or angry or anything like that. like, when it happens mid conversation, it's at the back of my mind, sure, but it's hard to get upset about it. if anything, its a bit....i guess, affirming? I mean, there was this one time I was at the store dressed like i usually am, and when someone called me to a particular place, they initially said "sir" before correcting themselves and I remember thinking something along the lines of "wow....they couldnt tell what i am" and it felt.....good. I am genderfluid, but my presentation stays pretty consistent most of the time, so I kind of expect people to immediately clock me as my AGAB. so when I'm referred to as anything but that, it's more of a surprise than an offense, if that makes sense. to tell the truth, I dont know if this is a good or bad thing, but I do know it's probably got a name. anyway, I understand youre dealing with a lot right now, so i hope youre at least stable for the moment, whatever you're doing.
i've met other people who feel the same way, you're not alone!
a lot of people either just aren't affected by being misgendered at all, and others like you mentioned, actually enjoy the fact that strangers can't tell what gender you are. i'm actually the same way, i get such a rush out of people not knowing what gender i am. it's honestly great, as a genderqueer person, i often get he and she'd and ma'am and sir'd in the same conversation and it can be pretty awesome. i think for a lot of genderfluid and genderqueer and genderfucky people, this can be a pretty affirming situation!
i'm not sure if there's a term for this experience, but i would say it's not a bad thing! if it makes you feel good, and you're literally not hurting anyone, then yeah that's a good thing!
thank you so much i appreciate you! i'm taking it easy for a few days due to the holidays, so i appreciate that! i hope you're doing well, as well.

INVISIBLE STRING: FROM THE VAULT
Part 3: A Christmassy storyā€¦
Tumblr media
Masterlist
Merry Christmas everyone šŸŽ„šŸŽ…šŸ»ā™„ļø
Better late than never! As it is during Christmas, it all gets a little hectic and what I wanted to post last night had to be postponed to todayā€¦ itā€™s a little something I started to write a year ago, at Christmas, while watching one of my all time favourite Christmas movies.
And now no more talking, here it isā€¦
Christmas 2027:
"Radiation?" Joris cocked an eyebrow.
"Radiation." I shrugged my shoulders and he chuckled "Donā€™t ask. Itā€™s- itā€™s her newest ickā€¦"
"Youā€™re surrounded by radiation the entire day with having your phone with you? So whereā€™s the difference at ni-ā€¦"
"Thatā€™s exactly the point. Your body is exposed to radiation all day long, so at night, when it resets, there shouldnā€™t be any radiation!" Lizzieā€™s voice rang out behind us, making Joris flinch "Iā€™ve read it in various magazines! So it canā€™t be that wrong!"
I had to chuckle, looking at Jorisā€™ petrified face when Lizzie glared at me, although I could see her eyes getting watery.
"Itā€™s not funny!" her voice strained.
"Itā€™s not, cara mia. Youā€™re right. Iā€™m sorry." I replied.
"Iā€™m not crazyā€¦" she sniffled a little and I felt bad.
"No, youā€™re not! I know that, okay?" I said immediately and got up from my seat, cupping her cheek and gently stroked the side of her bump "Youā€™re doing everything to protect our babiesā€¦ so whatever you think is best weā€™ll do! Youā€™re an amazing mum, okay?"
She only nodded slightly and turned away, her shoulders slumped.
"I lay down for a bitā€¦" she whispered and waddled off, taking a short look into Emmieā€™s room, before she continued to our bedroom.
"I swear I didnā€™t want to upset her!" Joris looked at me with big eyes and I sighed, sitting back down.
"Believe me, same. The last 2 or 3 days itā€™s been tough, sheā€™s more emotional than usuallyā€¦" I rubbed my temples, leaning back "One moment sheā€™s happy and bubbly, the next moment she cries about how thereā€™s only one apple left and that it might feel aloneā€¦ and then sheā€™s mad at herself for crying about such ridiculous things which makes her cry even more because she thinks Iā€™m annoyed of her being an emotional messā€¦ which is not true at all. I love it. I swear."
"Youā€™re probably the only guy on earth who loves his pregnant wifeā€™s mood swings." Joris laughed.
"Itā€™s cuteā€¦ when sheā€™s this bubbly Lizzie, who turns over a jar she canā€™t open first super frustrated and then grumpy like never seen before and curses it like thereā€™s no tomorrow, just to be sad the next moment that whateverā€™s in the jar is lost foreverā€¦"
"And then you chime in and save the dayā€¦" he wiggled with his eyebrows and I held up my hands.
"You know, not all heroes wear capesā€¦ but they still get a proper thank youā€¦ if you know what I meanā€¦"
"Yeah. No. Grossā€¦"
Right when I wanted to reply I heard the soft steps of Emmie and Arlo approaching and when I turned a little I saw them both walk around the corner.
"Dada? Mummy look sad?" her sweet little voice sounded truly concerned and I opened my arms, hoisting her up into my lap "Why mummy sad?"
"Sheā€™s not sad, Emmie. Just a little emotional."
"Emonal?" she repeated and I smiled.
"Emotionalā€¦" I said slowly, while she quietly said the word again "Thatā€™s when you feel all sorts of emotionsā€¦ thatā€™s feelings. Sad, happy, tired, funny, moodyā€¦ and you just donā€™t know whatā€™s the real feeling. So you get a little overwhelmed with emotionsā€¦ itā€™s nothing bad. It happens. Especially when someone carries a baby, or like mummy two, in their bellyā€¦"
"Mummy feel for baby one and baby two?" Emmies eyes widened and I had to chuckle.
"Yes, my little princess, thatā€™s exactly what mummyā€™s feeling. Her feelings and baby one and twos feelings."
"Lot of feelings!"
"Oh yes! A lot of feelings!" I nodded and she sighed, cuddling into my chest "You know what? Why donā€™t you help me and Joris make some hot chocolate for mummy?"
Emmieā€™s eyes lit up and she jumped off my lap, already pulling me up on my feet before she grabbed onto Joris hand, doing the same.
"Comes on, Jojo! Hot chotlat for mummy!" she chirped and pulled him with her.
"Iā€™m coming, Emmie-bug." he laughed and picked her up, following me into the kitchen, where he sat her down on the kitchen island.
"Emmie hot chotlat, too!" she looked first at me and then at Joris with her big puppy eyes and I could melt away on the spot.
"Letā€™s make hot chocolate for us all, okay? And then we can watch a movie before bedtime, how does that sound?"
"No bedtime."
"Emmie, we have to get up early tomorrow! Weā€™re leaving for Christmas!" I reminded her but she shook her head.
"No bedtime." she repeated, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"No bedtime means no Christmas, and no Christmas means no pops and grams, no granny, no Liam or Elijahā€¦ no Arthi!"
"No Arthi?" Emmie whispered and I nodded.
"Also no presentsā€¦"
"Emmie like bedtime."
"Yeah?" I asked and she nodded.
"Bedtime comfy. Jojo read story?" she turned and looked at him "Pwease?"
"Of course, Emmie-bug. Every story you want!" he cooed at her and she clapped happily.
"Now chotlat for mummy!"
"Now chocolate for mummy."
"Charles?" Lizzie whispered and I turned a little, trying to make her out in the dark "Iā€™m sorryā€¦"
"What do you mean?" I asked, voice still hoarse from sleeping. I looked around, my eyes trying to adjust to the darkness and saw her perched against the headboard.
"For being over emotionalā€¦ and unreasonableā€¦" she said and I sat up to switch on the lamp on the night stand.
"Hey, youā€™re not over emotional or unreasonable!" I replied, rubbing my eyes, facing her.
"I am. The other day I cried because of a pair of socks I had to throw away since one of them had holesā€¦"
"It was a nice pair of socks!"
"Charlesā€¦" Lizzie chuckled and I grabbed her hand, kissing her knuckles "Iā€™m serious! I feel like Iā€™m way worse than when I was pregnant with Emmie!"
"Yeah of course! Youā€™re carrying twins, cara mia! Double the trouble!"
"Is that why I could eat all the damn time? Iā€™m always hungryā€¦" she sighed and I laughed, looking at her pouting.
"And what does my pretty girl want right now?"
"Now? Ohā€¦ ummā€¦ Iā€™m not hungryā€¦" she looked away and I gently grabbed her chin, turning her head.
"Lizzieā€¦ I know youā€¦ itā€™s 1 am thatā€™s your timeā€¦ so, what can I get for you?" I stifled a yawn.
"Iā€™m fineā€¦ youā€™re tired and weā€™ll be picked up earlyā€¦" she mumbled but I shook my head.
"Pretty girlā€¦" I scooted closer, cupping her cheek "What do you want? Fruits? Something salty? Ice cream? A burger?"
"Some sour gums and-ā€¦ itā€™s weird, because usually I donā€™t like themā€¦ salt and vinegar crisps? Do we have that?"
"On itā€¦" I pecked her lips and shuffled out of the bed, stretching as soon as I stood up "Anything else?"
"Ummā€¦ one of these strawberry lemonades maybe?"
"Anything my pretty girl wants." I said, grabbing my sweatpants that got stuck somehow and I pulled harder almost tripping over when I finally freed it.
"Are you okay?" Lizzie looked at me and I nodded.
"It got stuck somehowā€¦ I donā€™t knowā€¦ get comfy Iā€™ll be right back." I slipped on my pants and left our bedroom, down the hall to the kitchen I stopped at Emmieā€™s bedroom and took a look inside.
Our little girl tucked in under her blankets, Arlo guarding her, sleeping right in front of her bed. He mustā€™ve felt my presence, lifting his head looking at me. He got up, yawned and then trotted over, tilting his head.
"All good, Arlo. Just me." I whispered, kneeling down "Go watch our little princess." I stroked his fluffy fur, scratched his ears before he stretched ā€œOhhh big stretch! Good boy." I scratched his ears and got up "Go back to sleepā€¦" he turned around and walked away, plopping down back at his old spot.
I rummaged through the pantry, grabbing everything Lizzie graved and trotted back to our bedroom, where a big smile spread over her face as soon as she saw me walk in.
"I can already taste the lemonadeā€¦" she made grabby hands and I laughed, handing her the can of lemonade and the crisps and sour gums.
I climbed in bed next to her, lying down and watching how she happily scrunched up her nose as soon as she ate the first sour gum, closing her eyes savouring the taste.
"Remind me to pack strawberry lemonade, salt and vinegar crisps and sour patch kidsā€¦" I yawned.
"Iā€™m so excited for Christmas, our last without the twinsā€¦ next year weā€™re already a family of 6ā€¦" Lizzie whispered and I cocked an eyebrow.
"6?"
"6ā€¦"
"Of courseā€¦ Arloā€¦"
"I told you heā€™s our first born." Lizzieā€™s happy giggling made me smile and I nodded.
"Youā€™re right. He is. And heā€™s an amazing big brother, guarding his little sister."
"Heā€™s a good boy." she happily munched and I smiled, yawning again "You can sleepā€¦ you donā€™t have to stay awake with meā€¦"
"Yeah?" I mumbled, fighting to keep my eyes open.
"Yeahā€¦" Lizzie replied and leaned down, kissing my cheek "Thank youā€¦"
"You need anything else?" I asked but she shook her head.
"No. Weā€™re all good now. Sleep, pretty boy."
I didnā€™t know if I replied or not, I fell asleep almost immediately.
Ring. Ring. Ring.
An annoying ringing inside my head. But was it inside my head? I groaned and turned around, Lizzie next to me fast asleep, the ringing that definitely wasnā€™t just inside my head didnā€™t seem to bother her.
"Dadaā€¦ make it stopā€¦" Emmie rubbed her eyes, stumbling to our bed, her hair her a hot mess "Head owie!"
"I knowā€¦" I picked her up and sat her next to Lizzie "Iā€™ll goā€¦" I kissed her cheek and scrambled out of bed, looking for the source of the horrific sound. The door bell. And the landline phone. Both ringing at the same time. Just like my phone "What the hell?" I grabbed my phone and picked up "Hello?"
"Ah, Mr. Leclerc! Finally! I wanted to come up myself and look if everything is alright!" Matthieu, our concierge, said and the landline phone and door bell stopped ringing.
"Of course, everythingā€™s alright? Why wouldnā€™t it be?" I was confused, looking around.
"There are two cars here to pick you up. Theyā€™ve been waiting for a while now and we tried to call you then-ā€¦"
"What?! But the cars should be here at 8?" I replied.
"Mr. Leclerc, itā€™s 8:30 amā€¦"
"WHAT? What? How? I- what?" I checked the time at my phone and cursed "Oh shitā€¦ umm tell the drivers weā€™ll need a momentā€¦"
"Can I send them up to get your bags?" Matthieu asked and I nodded.
"Yes. Everything is packed. All the bags are at the elevatorā€¦" I hastily walked back into our bedroom, pushing the buttons to open up the blinds.
"Alright. Iā€™ll tell them." he hung up and I gently shook Lizzie.
"Cara mia? Wake up pleaseā€¦ we need to get readyā€¦"
"Hmm?" she mumbled, blinking a few times.
"The cars are already hereā€¦ we need to get ready." I said again and her eyes shot open.
"What? But you set your alarm? What?" she scrambled up looking at Emmie next to her "Did we oversleep?"
"I donā€™t know. I didnā€™t hear the alarm. But that doesnā€™t matter. We need to get ready. Now. Come on." I pulled her gently off the bed and she sighed "I take care of Emmie, okay?"
"Hmmā€¦" Lizzie mumbled and waddled away to the bathroom, yawning "Did you not set the alarm?"
"I did. I donā€™t know what happenedā€¦" I mumbled and picked up Emmie "Come on girlie, letā€™s get ready."
"Ready for Crimas!" she clapped her hands and I chuckled.
"Christmas. And no. Not quite yet. We have to get there first."
"To Christ-as?" she tried again.
"Almost, Christmas, with an 'm'ā€¦ Christ- mas."
"Christ-mas." she repeated and I smiled.
"You got it right, Emmie! Good girl!" I sat her down on her bed and grabbed the clothes Lizzie had put out already "Now letā€™s get dressed and then weā€™ll have a little snack in the car, how does that sound?"
"Car?" she tilted her head, scrunching her nose.
"Yeah, we have to drive to the airport. And then we get into the jet to fly to Switzerland. To this big chalet in the mountains where all our family is waiting! To celebrate-ā€¦"
"Christmas!" she clapped excitedly and I nodded.
"Exactly! But weā€™re a little late. So we need to hurry up a little!"
"Houwy up! Houwy up!"
"That we have to! So letā€™s have a look. You look adorable, now we just need to take care of your hair and-ā€¦" I began when I saw Lizzie waddling towards the kitchen, still in her pyjamas "Alrightā€¦ wait a minuteā€¦" I sat her down "You pack your sleep plushies into your backpack and play a little with Arlo, okay? Iā€™ll be right back and make your hair." Emmie nodded and I followed Lizzie into the kitchen, finding her rummaging through the fridge "Lizzie?"
"Why is there no food?" she sniffled, turning around "Iā€™m hungry. But there is nothing to eat. What am I supposed to do now?"
"Cara mia, we have breakfast in the jet, okay? Itā€™s all prepared-ā€¦"
"But Iā€™m hungry now!" she was grumpy "The babies and I are hungry now!"
"I understand, but we have nothing here, because weā€™re leaving nowā€¦ we can stop at a bakery on the way?" I tried it again and she sighed.
"Okayā€¦ I go and take a showerā€¦" she walked past me and I followed her.
"Cara mia, you donā€™t need to shower. We donā€™t have time. You can shower as soon as we arrive in the chaletā€¦" I said carefully but she shook her head.
"I smellā€¦ Iā€™m not arriving smelly for Christmasā€¦"
"Technically itā€™s not Christmas yet, soā€¦ and also you donā€™t smellā€¦ you just had a bath last night and I can still smell your coconut butter on your skin, so please. Just get dressed and letā€™s go. The cars are waiting. For over half an hour nowā€¦"
"Then why didnā€™t you set the alarm?" she looked at me annoyed.
"I did! I donā€™t know why it didnā€™t went off! Stupid alarm clockā€¦" I walked over to my night stand to find the alarm clock to be off, not plugged into the wall "What theā€¦ oh noā€¦ my sweatpantsā€¦ fuckā€¦" I mumbled, remembering the struggle I had at night with my pants "With my phone this wouldnā€™t have happenā€¦" I groaned more to myself when a half naked Lizzie stepped out of the closet.
"What did you say?" she cocked an eyebrow and I held my hands up "Is it my fault now for protecting our babies? Last night you said I was the best mum because of it!" her bottom lip began to wobble and I hastily pulled her into me.
"And I meant it! Okay? Itā€™s all good. Just-ā€¦ please get ready. I feel bad for the drivers to wait this long because of meā€¦ and the jet and everythingā€¦" I whispered against the side of her head, kissing her temple.
"Okay. Iā€™m almost doneā€¦" she breathed out "You need to get dressed yourselfā€¦"
"On itā€¦"
15 minutes later I strapped Emmie into her seat and gave the driver the all clear to drive, although I had a feeling like we forgot something at home. I was nervously fidgeting with my phone next to Lizzie who happily munched on the croissant I got her from the bakery.
"What is it?" she asked after another minute of me nervously tapping my foot.
"I feel like we forgot somethingā€¦" I mumbled, going over the list inside my head "I just donā€™t know whatā€¦"
"It canā€™t be important if you donā€™t remember it."
"I donā€™t knowā€¦" I looked outside the window, the car approaching the little private airport.
We had all of the bags, there was nothing left when we left the penthouse. I checked Emmieā€™s backpack and she had packed all her night plushies. Arlo laid on the floor in front of me, his bag with his toys and leashes in the back. Lizzie packer her bag with her books and computer last night herself and it rested now next to her on the seat. The bag with her snacks on the floor next to my feet. I couldnā€™t grasp what was missing but still I felt like it.
"Charles?" Lizzie grabbed my hand, squeezing it "Weā€™ve got everything. Itā€™s fine, youā€™ll seeā€¦"
"Yeahā€¦ I hope soā€¦" I mumbled watching the car in front with our baggage stopping on the tarmac "Itā€™s too late now anyways I guessā€¦" I unbuckled Emmie and got out of the car, taking her with me. I helped Lizzie out of the car and she took Emmie from me, walking with Arlo towards the jet while I helped loading our baggage onto the cart, before I walked up the stairs of the jet myself.
"Welcome on board, Mr. Leclerc." the pilot shook my hand and I smiled.
"Thank you, and sorry for the delayā€¦ it got a little hectic this morningā€¦"
"All good, Sir. Why donā€™t you take a seat and weā€™re preparing for take off."
"Thank you." I took off my jacket, handing it to the flight attendant who stored it away.
"Can I get you anything to drink?" she smiled and I shook my head, sitting down on front off Lizzie, Emmie next to her on the seat, looking outside the window.
I leaned my head back. Closing my eyes. One last time going over the list in my head. One last time going over every piece of baggage we just unloaded from the car. Lizzieā€™s suitcases, my suitcases, Emmieā€™s suitcases, the bags full off her and Arloā€™s toys, the bags full of presents. The bag with Lizzieā€™s snacks and last but not least the 2 suitcases and backpack ofā€¦
"JORIS!" I shouted, Lizzie and Emmie both looking at me "WE FORGOT JORIS!" I took my phone out, about to call him when he already did the same.
"Jo-ā€¦"
"I canā€™t believe you forgot me at homeā€¦"
"I swear-ā€¦"
"Like seriously? What is this? Home alone? Your alarm doesnā€™t go off and you forget me in all the hectic?"
"Iā€™m so sorry! I send the ca-ā€¦"
"Just be glad itā€™s more like Home Alone 2. I woke up by myself and-ā€¦" he hung up "And got in the car right in timeā€¦ I just wanted to wait how long it would take you to figure out that I wasnā€™t with youā€¦" Joris walked inside the jet, plopping down in the seat next to us.
"Iā€™m so so sorry!" I looked at him sheepishly and Emmie climbed off her seat, walking over to Joris who picked her up, sitting her down in his lap.
"Jojo made Emmie hair look nice." she smiled and I looked at her, then at him.
"What?" I said and looked at Lizzie "I thought you did that?"
"I thought you did?" she replied and Joris laughed.
"Nope, I did, right Emmie bug?" he cooed at her and she smiled "And now that weā€™re all hereā€¦ I say letā€™s go. Christmas is just right around the cornerā€¦"
"Christmas with pesents! Pesents for evyone!" Emmie said excited, clapping her hands "Mewwy Christmas evyone!"

updates as of 22 oct

Travis Dermott knew that he would draw attention with his actions in the Coyotesā€™ home opener against the Anaheim Ducks at Mullett Arena on Saturday. The Arizona defenseman just hoped that the spotlight might shine on the issue that he was addressing, not on him.
ā€œYou donā€™t really want to go against rules that are put in place by your employer, but thereā€™s some people who took some positive things from it,ā€ Dermott said. ā€œThatā€™s kind of what Iā€™m looking to impact.
ā€œYou want to have everyone feel included and thatā€™s something that I have felt passionate about for a long time in my career. Itā€™s not like I just just jumped on this train. Itā€™s something that Iā€™ve felt has been lacking in the hockey community for a while. I feel like we need supporters of a movement like this; to have everyone feel included and really to beat home the idea that hockey is for everyone.ā€
ā€œI wonā€™t lie,ā€ said Dermott, who is playing on a one-year, two-way contract. ā€œFrom the outside, itā€™s easy to see that Iā€™m putting my career on the line for something. I definitely went through some emotional ups and downs that night, not regretting anything by any means, but Iā€™d love to have maybe done a couple of steps a little different by making sure that everyone was aware of what was going on before I did it.
ā€œI donā€™t want to put my teammates or my coaches or my GMs or the equipment managers in any kind of bad light when itā€™s their job to kind of look out for something like this happening. It was definitely something that I did just by myself and was prepared to kind of deal with whatever repercussions the league decides to push towards that. Iā€™m not going to back off and say that this battle is won, but weā€™re going to find better ways to do it.ā€
As Dermott noted, LGBTQ+ inclusion is an issue that he has supported for a long time. Without getting into specifics, Dermott said the issue is personal for him because it impacts people close to him.
ā€œIā€™d be lying if I said I havenā€™t shed tears about this on multiple occasions,ā€ he said. ā€œSo yeah, itā€™s something Iā€™m definitely very passionate about.
ā€œIā€™ve met a lot of people that from the outside, it looks like they have everything going right in their life and they have a smile on their face every time they talk to you. But sometimes when we get closer to people and get comfortable enough for them to open up to you, you can see that thereā€™s some pretty dark stuff happening to some good people. It doesnā€™t take too many times encountering something like that for it to really change someone.
ā€œIā€™ve been blessed to have some of those opportunities put in front of me to really change my view of what being a good person means; what being a good father and a good example and role model means going forward. You really see how people are hurting and itā€™s because of a system that maybe no oneā€™s intentionally trying to be malicious about, but until youā€™ve really had that first-person experience seeing people hurting from it right in front of you, itā€™s tough to kind of take steps.ā€
It would be a surprise if the league handed down any sort of punishment. The optics alone would add to the public relations damage that the original ban created. Even so, Dermott reiterated his desire to bring the entire franchise into the fold before he takes similar actions in the future, but he also made it clear that he will not be silenced on the topic.
ā€œItā€™s not like Iā€™m shutting up and going away,ā€ he said. ā€œI know more questions are going to be coming. Weā€™re just going to be as prepared as we can be to just spread love. Thatā€™s the thing. Itā€™s gay pride that weā€™re talking about, but it could be menā€™s health. It could be any war. Itā€™s just wanting world peace. Everyoneā€™s got to love each other a little bit more.
ā€œLike my parents said growing up, ā€˜How awesome would it be to be the guy that people look up to?ā€™ Thatā€™s what really hit home when I was a kid, especially from my mom. You want to grow up and be that guy. You want to be the guy thatā€™s having the impact on kids like NHL players had on you. If they had been racist or bigoted, thatā€™s going to have an effect on you.
ā€œWith how many eyes are on us, especially with the young kids coming up in the new generation, you want to put as much positive love into their brain as you can. You want them to see that itā€™s not just being taught or coming from maybe their parents at home. They need to see it in the public eye for it to really make an effect.ā€

know someone who enjoys horror stories? share this one! it's true!
hahahahahahahahahaha aarrggghhhhhhhhhh 3,000,000 deaths due to COVID-19 last year. Globally. Three million. Case rates higher than 90% of the rest of the pandemic. The reason people are still worried about COVID is because it has a way of quietly fucking up your body. And the risk is cumulative.
I'm going to say that again: the risk is cumulative.
It's not just that a lot of people get bad long-term effects from it. One in seven or so? Enough that it's kind of the Russian Roulette of diseases. It's also that the more times you get it, the higher that risk becomes. Like if each time you survived Russian Roulette, the empty chamber was removed from the gun entirely. The worst part is that, psychologically, we have the absolute opposite reaction. If we survive something with no ill effects, we assume it's pretty safe. It is really, really hard to override that sense of, "Ok, well, I got it and now I probably have a lot of immunity and also it wasn't that bad." It is not a respiratory disease. Airborne, yes. Respiratory disease, no: not a cold, not a flu, not RSV.
Like measles (or maybe chickenpox?), it starts with respiratory symptoms. And then it moves to other parts of your body. It seems to target the lungs, the digestive system, the heart, and the brain the most.
It also hits the immune system really hard - a lot of people are suddenly more susceptible to completely unrelated viruses. People get brain fog, migraines, forget things they used to know.
(I really, really hate that it can cross the blood-brain barrier. NOTHING SHOULD EVER CROSS THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER IT IS THERE FOR A REASON.) Anecdotal examples of this shit are horrifying. I've seen people talk about coworkers who've had COVID five or more times, and now their work... just often doesn't make sense? They send emails that say things like, "Sorry, I didn't mean Los Angeles, I meant Los Angeles."
Or they insist they've never heard of some project that they were actually in charge of a year or two before.
Or their work is just kind of falling apart, and they don't seem to be aware of it.
People talk about how they don't want to get the person in trouble, so their team just works around it. Or they describe neighbors and relatives who had COVID repeatedly, were nearly hospitalized, talked about how incredibly sick they felt at the time... and now swear they've only had it once and it wasn't bad, they barely even noticed it.
(As someone who lived with severe dissociation for most of my life, this is a genuinely terrifying idea to me. I've already spent my whole life being like, "but what if I told them that already? but what if I did do that? what if that did happen to me and I just don't remember?") One of its known effects in the brain is to increase impulsivity and risk-taking, which is real fucking convenient honestly. What a fantastic fucking mutation. So happy for it on that one. Yes, please make it seem less important to wear a mask and get vaccinated. I'm not screaming internally at all now.
Tumblr media
I saw a tweet from someone last year whose family hadn't had COVID yet, who were still masking in public, including school.
She said that her son was no kind of an athlete. Solidly bottom middle of the pack in gym.
And suddenly, this year, he was absolutely blowing past all the other kids who had to run the mile. He wasn't running any faster. His times weren't fantastic or anything. It's just that the rest of the kids were worse than him now. For some reason. I think about that a lot. (Like my incredibly active six-year-old getting a cold, and suddenly developing post-viral asthma that looked like pneumonia.
He went back to school the day before yesterday, after being home for a month and using preventative inhalers for almost week.
He told me that it was GREAT - except that he couldn't run as much at recess, because he immediately got really tired. Like how I went outside with him to do some yard work and felt like my body couldn't figure out how to increase breathing and heart rate.
I wasn't physically out of breath, but I felt like I was out of breath. That COVID feeling people describe, of "I'm not getting enough air." Except that I didn't have that problem when I had COVID.) Some people don't observe any long (or medium) term side effects after they have it.
But researchers have found viral reservoirs of COVID-19 in everyone they've studied who had it.
It just seems to hang out, dormant, for... well, longer than we've had an opportunity to observe it, so far.
(I definitely watched that literal horror movie. I think that's an entire genre. The alien dormant under ice in the Arctic.)
(oh hey I don't like that either!!!!!!!!!) All of which is to explain why we should still care about avoiding it, and how it manages to still cause excess deaths. Measuring excess deaths has been a standard tool in public health for a long time.
We know how many people usually die from all different causes, every year. So we can tell if, for example, deaths from heart disease have gone way up in the past three years, and look for reasons. Those are excess deaths: deaths that, four years ago, would not have happened. During the pandemic, excess death rates have been a really important tool. For all sorts of reasons. Like, sometimes people die from COVID without ever getting tested, and the official cause is listed as something else because nobody knows they had COVID. But also, people are dying from cardiovascular illness much younger now.
People are having strokes and heart attacks younger, and more often, than they did before the pandemic started. COVID causes a lot of problems. And some of those problems kill people. And some of them make it easier for other things to kill us. Lung damage from COVID leading to lungs collapsing, or to pneumonia, or to a pulmonary embolism, for example. The Economist built a machine-learning model with a 95% confidence interval that gauges excess death statistics around the world, to tell them what the true toll of the ongoing COVID pandemic has been so far.
Total excess deaths globally in 2023: Three million.
3,000,000.
Official COVID-19 deaths globally so far: Seven million. 7,000,000. Total excess deaths during COVID so far: Thirty-five point two million. 35,200,000.
Five times as many.
That's bad. I don't like that at all. I'm glad last year was less than a tenth of that. I'm not particularly confident about that continuing, though, because last year we started a period of really high COVID transmission. Case rates higher than 90% of the rest of the pandemic. Here's their data, and charts you can play with, and links to detailed information on how they did all of this:
Here's a non-paywalled link to it:
https://archive.vn/2024.01.26-012536/https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/coronavirus-excess-deaths-estimates
Oh: here's a link to where you can buy comfy, effective N95 masks in all sizes:
Those ones are about a buck each after shipping - about $30 for a box of 30. They also have sample packs for a dollar, so you can try a couple of different sizes and styles.
You can wear an N95 mask for about 40 total hours before the effectiveness really drops, so that's like a dollar for a week of wear.
They're also family-owned and have cat-shaped masks and I really love them. These ones are cuter and in a much wider range of colors, prints, and styles, but they're also more expensive; they range from $1.80 to $3 for a mask. ($18-$30 for a box of ten.)

Tumblr media
You never meant for things to get this far. You told yourself it was just a little fun, harmless and fleetingā€”nothing more. You had a career to focus on, friendships in the balance. But now, here you are, pacing the living room carpet thin, your cuticles raw from nervous chewing, and your thoughts spiraling into places you swore theyā€™d never go.
It feels juvenile, almost laughable, like some smitten teenager waiting by the phone and sneaking kisses in shadowed corners. You were supposed to be above this, werenā€™t you? I mean, as a grown adult you should know how to keep it casual, uncomplicated.Ā 
But nothing about this is simple anymore. Not the friendship. Not the secrets. And certainly not the way your heart betrays you every time his name crosses your mind.
It definitely wasnā€™t supposed to be like this.
Moving back to the city hadnā€™t been on the bingo card for this year, but here you were. Your life had been tucked away in the quiet of rural landscapes, where your art had room to breatheā€”endless skies, rolling hills, and the kind of solitude that made inspiration flow without any distractions. But your career had expanded, and with that expansion came the relentless pressure of galleries, art buyers, and a future that demanded more from you than that peaceful escape ever could.Ā 
So, the city had called you back. Concrete towers, crowded streets, the city offered more. Shows. Opportunities. Jayce. The only thing about this cold, steel jungle that still felt like home. Jayceā€”your childhood friend, your constant in a world that had never stopped changing. Thrown together since you were practically in diapers, he was the one piece of your old life that had somehow survived the years and distance between you two. And now, after what felt like an eternity, here he was, sprawled across your tiny couch, looking too comfortable for someone who was just supposed to be a guest. The apartment was a bit small, as city apartments tended to beā€”packed between towering neighborsā€”but Jayceā€™s presence was the only thing about it that felt remotely like home.
"You know," he said, half-lounging. ā€œIā€™ve got someone I want you to meet.ā€
You didnā€™t look up from your canvas, your brush already dipping into the paints like second nature. ā€œWho?ā€
ā€œViktorā€Ā 
You paused, only long enough for your brush to hover midair before you flicked your gaze in his direction. ā€œAh, yes. The famous business partner.ā€
Jayceā€™s grin didnā€™t falter, but there was something softer behind it now. ā€œYeah, something like that. But seriously, heā€™s a good guy. Brilliant, actually. You two would get along.ā€
You didnā€™t reply at first. Instead, you let the brush finish its arc, eyes back on your work, moving with the rhythm of a familiar task. ā€œmhmā€ you murmured, distracted by the way the strokes of paint were bleeding together. ā€œIf heā€™s anything like you, how bad can it be?ā€
But Jayce, of course, wasnā€™t done. His voice took on that softĀ  tone he reserved for moments when he really wanted to get his point across. ā€œIā€™m serious, okay? I want you two to meet. You both mean a lot to me, and I think youā€™ll really hit it off.ā€
You didnā€™t look up, but you felt a weight behind his words, pushing against you with silent pressure. ā€œYeah? Iā€™m sure itā€™ll happen, then.ā€
Jayceā€™s eyes lit up, a flash of triumph in them, like heā€™d just won some small but important battle. ā€œYouā€™ll see. Iā€™m telling youā€”when you meet him, youā€™ll click. I know it.ā€
You leaned back in your chair, releasing a slow exhale, the kind that said everything without saying anything at all. A nonchalant nod was all you offered, unwilling to give him the satisfaction of saying more. ā€œFine. Fine. Iā€™ll meet him. But donā€™t make a whole thing out of it.ā€
Jayce chuckled, and there was an odd note of relief in the sound, like heā€™d just been granted some unspoken permission. ā€œNo big deal, I swear. But youā€™ll see. You two are more alike than you think.ā€
-
When you finally did meet Viktor, Jayce was practically vibrating, his energy as unsubtle as ever. It had been after one of your gallery openings, a night youā€™d half-dragged yourself through on fumes and politeness. Your heels had barely cleared the threshold of his apartment before the faintest twinge of suspicion began to creep inā€”something about the way he hovered, grinning like a man with a secret.
ā€œYou deserve a good meal after tonight,ā€ Jayce had said, ushering you in with the kind of charm that usually preceded one of his schemes. ā€œThought youā€™d want to celebrate somewhere that doesnā€™t reek of overpriced wine and small talk.ā€
You rolled your eyes but let yourself be corralled, the promise of food outweighing the odd note in his voice. His large apartment, at least, was familiar territory: warm, cluttered with bits of tech and sentimental junk from years past, the faint scent of whatever candles he refused to admit he hoarded lingering in the air.
And then you heard itā€”the low murmur of another voice, sharp-edged and vaguely amused, drifting from the kitchen.
Jayce froze, his grin faltering for a split second before it reappeared, brighter than ever. ā€œOh, right,ā€ he said, far too casually. ā€œViktorā€™s here.ā€
You blinked, narrowing your eyes at him. ā€œYou conveniently forgot to mention that part.ā€
ā€œCome on,ā€ he pushed, throwing an arm around your shoulders and steering you toward the source of the voice. ā€œItā€™s no big deal. Just dinner. Youā€™ll like him, I promise.ā€
And there he was, perched by the kitchen counter with a faintly perplexed look on his face. He was slimmer than youā€™d expected, pale and sharp-featured, with hair that looked like it hadnā€™t met a comb in days. His amber eyes flicked up to meet yours, narrowing slightly as if he were trying to solve a puzzle that had just been placed in front of him.
ā€œAh,ā€ he said, his accent lilting and crisp, ā€œso this is the infamous artist.ā€
You shot a glare at Jayce, who was already heading for the stove with the kind of forced cheer that made it painfully clear heā€™d orchestrated the whole thing. ā€œYou owe me for this,ā€ you muttered under your breath, stepping further into the kitchen.
Viktorā€™s lips twitched, the barest hint of a smirk appearing. ā€œAnd here I thought I was being ambushed. Seems weā€™re both victims of his enthusiasm.ā€
Jayce turned from the stove, wooden spoon in hand, his expression utterly unrepentant. ā€œYouā€™ll thank me later.ā€
The dinner was simple but undeniably goodā€”Jayceā€™s doing, of course. The man couldnā€™t let anyone step into his apartment without insisting they be properly fed, and tonight was no exception. Roast chicken, buttery vegetables with rice, warm bread that filled the space with its yeasty aromaā€”it was the kind of meal that made you feel at home even when you werenā€™t.
Conversation flowed easily around the table, mostly carried by Jayce, but Viktor wasnā€™t exactly quiet, either. He had a way of chiming in at just the right moment, his dry humor landing squarely between Jayceā€™s more exuberant anecdotes and your own occasional contributions.
ā€œYou mean to tell me,ā€ Viktor said at one point, leaning back slightly in his chair, ā€œthat Jayce still hasnā€™t learned to cook rice without burning it? After all these years?ā€
Jayce, halfway through explaining some disastrous culinary attempt from his youth, turned to glare at him. ā€œExcuse me, this rice was cooked perfectly.ā€
ā€œIt was fine,ā€ you agreed, though the memory of a slightly crunchy bite or two made your lips twitch in amusement.
Viktorā€™s amber eyes sparkled as he gestured broadly. ā€œOh, fine! A glowing review, truly. Donā€™t let it go to your head.ā€
Jayce groaned, but there was no real bite to it. ā€œYouā€™re insufferable.ā€
ā€œAnd yet,ā€ Viktor said, raising his glass in a mock toast, ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½here I am. Invited to dinner. Again.ā€
Jayce just rolled his eyes and went back to his story, leaving you to glance at Viktor with a small smile. He caught it, of course, and gave a little shrug as if to say, what can you do? For all his sharp humor, he was easy to talk to, his wit balanced by an underlying warmth that kept him from coming off as too cutting.
Which was why you were only mildly surprised when the spoon incident happened.
Dinner was winding down, Jayce had disappeared into the kitchen to fuss over coffee, leaving you and Viktor to handle the cleanup.
He moved with a surprising ease, balancing a stack of plates in one hand, his cane steady in the other. It was a casual sort of competence, as though heā€™d long since adapted to whatever limitations life had handed him. You hadnā€™t thought much of it, impressed by how naturally he maneuvered, until the soft clatter of a spoon hitting the floor broke the quiet rhythm of tidying.
ā€œAh,ā€ Viktor said, glancing down at the rogue utensil with a faint frown as he set down the plate stack. ā€œOf course.ā€
You paused mid-step, glancing between him and the spoon. ā€œNeed a hand?ā€
He tilted his head, his expression a little too innocent. ā€œIf itā€™s not too much trouble. You know, the leg and all...ā€
ā€œOh, forā€”ā€ Jayceā€™s voice floated from the kitchen, half-annoyed but not quite committed to intervening.
You sighed, setting down the napkins youā€™d been folding. ā€œYeah, sure. Iā€™ve got it.ā€
But just as you crouched down, Viktor shifted. A casual tap of his cane sent the spoon skittering across the floor, its metallic clink faintly echoing as it landed farther away.
You froze, staring at the spoon in disbelief, then turned your gaze to him slowly. ā€œYouā€™re kidding.ā€
Viktorā€™s lips twitched, the faintest glimmer of amusement flickering across his face. ā€œWhat?ā€
ā€œYou justā€”ā€
ā€œWhat?ā€ he repeated, wider-eyed this time, his free hand gesturing vaguely toward his cane. ā€œIā€™m handicapped.ā€
Jayce reappeared in the doorway, a coffee pot in hand and a look of pure exasperation on his face. ā€œViktor.ā€
ā€œWhat?ā€ Viktor said again, his voice laced with mock indignation. ā€œI am!ā€
Jayce muttered something unintelligible as he poured coffee, his focus shifting between you and Viktor like he couldnā€™t decide which one of you deserved his scolding more. Meanwhile, you straightened, crossing your arms as a grin tugged at the corners of your mouth despite your best efforts.
ā€œYouā€™re lucky Iā€™m feeling generous,ā€ you said, stepping across the room to retrieve the spoonā€”again.
ā€œVery generous,ā€ Viktor agreed, his tone breezy. ā€œHonestly, itā€™s quite inspiring. Jayce, you should take notes.ā€
Jayce groaned, setting the coffee pot down with a little too much force. ā€œYouā€™re both ridiculous.ā€
But you were already laughing, the sound bubbling up before you could stop it. As you returned the spoon to the table with a pointed look, Viktor gave you a small, almost triumphant smile. And maybe, you could see what Jayce meant when heā€™d said youā€™d get along.
-
The first time you realized you might feel more than just friendship for Viktor was when you noticed the way your sketches had started to change.
It had been weeksā€”maybe even a couple of monthsā€”since that dinner with Jayce, when you had awkwardly danced around each other, getting to know one another. The initial weirdness had faded into easy companionship, and you found yourself spending more time with Viktor than you expected. You hadnā€™t quite noticed it happening, but somewhere along the line, youā€™d become an unintentional trio. Jayce had been bursting with barely-contained glee at how easily the two of you seemed to get along, and it made your chest warm, knowing how much that mattered to him. It felt... right, this newfound ease between the three of you, a quiet sort of harmony that made you smile more than you expected.
But as the days passed, something shifted without you realizing it. You were at home one evening, flipping through your sketchbook, the soft pastel dust smudging the edges of the pages as your fingers moved. The forms youā€™d drawn were abstract models, capturing shapes and shadows in a fluid, organic way. It wasnā€™t anything newā€”nothing that stood out. But then, you stopped.
There, in the shadows of the page, you saw it.
The subtle arch of a jawline. The curve of lips that you knew too well. Even the moles, small and almost unremarkable, but there they wereā€”on the page, right beneath your fingertips. You blinked and flipped to another sketch, only to see it again. A line here, a shadow there. It wasnā€™t him exactly, but it was.
To the untrained eye, maybe it wouldnā€™t have been obvious. Hell, maybe even to you on any other day, it mightā€™ve gone unnoticed. But now, in the quiet of your studio, the shapes were almost unmistakable. The soft angle of his nose, the way his eyes looked when he was thinking too hard, the way his smile would pull up on one side when he was being particularly smug.
You frowned, setting the sketchbook down, your hands hovering above it as if it had betrayed you. Was this some kind of coincidence? Or was it something more, something you had been avoiding realizing? Youā€™d never consciously set out to draw him, but there he was, tucked into the lines and curves of your art like an uninvited guest you hadnā€™t known you were entertaining.
It was ridiculous, you told yourself. Of course it was just... coincidence. But even as you tried to convince yourself, there was a small, unspoken truth sitting in your chest, heavy and undeniable, and the first time you realized Viktor might see you as more than just a friend was subtle, almost imperceptible, but it hit you all the same.
He mentioned a piece youā€™d shown him, his tone thoughtful. ā€œYouā€™ve been doing something different lately. I canā€™t quite put my finger on it, but thereā€™s a change. Itā€™s...ā€ His gaze flickered to yours, then dropped back to the floor, but the brief flash in his eyes sent an unexpected flutter through your chest. ā€œ...more. More than what you usually show.ā€
The words themselves were harmless, even complimentary, but it was the way they hung between you that made something inside you stirā€”something you couldnā€™t name, not yet. You didnā€™t think much of it at first, but the way his eyes lingered just a second longer than necessary made your breath catch. The way the corners of his mouth lifted into a half-smile, not teasing, but... fond.
It was a simple thing. A fleeting moment. And yet, it lingered in your mind as you retreated to your apartment, your thoughts whirling with the possibility that Viktorā€”your friend, the one you had so casually laughed and bantered with for monthsā€”might be seeing you differently, too.
The shift was subtle, but it was there. And it unsettled you more than you cared to admit.
-
Everything came to a boiling point one night at your apartment. Youā€™d ventured into town earlier that day, mostly for a change of scenery, and happened upon a small farmers market. You couldnā€™t resist grabbing a few bottles of strawberry wine, its sweetness and fruity undertones practically calling your name. Jayce had scoffed at it when you got back, claiming it was too sugary to have any real punch. ā€œThereā€™s no way Iā€™ll even get drunk off this,ā€ heā€™d muttered with a dismissive wave.
An hour later, he was sprawled out on your pullout, snoring softly with a stupid grin plastered across his face. You and Viktor stood nearby, both tryingā€”and failingā€”to suppress your amusement at how quickly Jayce had succumbed to the wineā€™s effects. For all his size, Jayce was a surprising lightweight.
ā€œI swear, every time,ā€ you said, laughing quietly.
Viktor, leaning against the doorway, gave a soft chuckle. ā€œSome people just donā€™t know when to stop.ā€
You rolled your eyes, glancing over at the slumbering man. ā€œGuess we let him sleep it off.ā€
ā€œLet him have his beauty rest,ā€ Viktor teased, his voice light as he nodded toward the bottles. ā€œWe can always finish it ourselves.ā€
So you did, winding up on the roof with the cold night air around you. The worn-out couch up there had seen better days, but it was still enough to settle into and talk, a simple quiet comfort settling over you both. The soft glow of string lights and the silvered moonlight made the world feel like it was wrapped in a quiet hush despite the never ending sounds of the city. You both settled into the couch, the cushions sinking in the middle, which pushed you just a little closer to Viktor than you'd anticipated.
For a moment, neither of you said anything. The silence was easy, like you had spent years in it. You noticed how close you were sitting nowā€”your thighs pressed together, and when you passed the bottle of wine, your fingers brushed his. A small spark of awareness ran through you each time, and you tried to ignore it, feeling your face warm despite the cool air.
The wine was sweet, fruity, and a little stronger than you expected, especially when you found yourself reaching for another sip and another, the soft buzz in your head gradually growing stronger.
By the time the bottle was halfway gone, you were both leaning more heavily into the couch, and you couldnā€™t help but giggle at how little wine was apparently needed to bring Jayce to the brink of passing out. You felt... lighter. Almost giddy, as if the laughter that came so easily was spilling out along with the alcohol. And Viktor, sitting just beside you, didnā€™t seem to be immune to it either. His face was flushed in the soft light, his lips curling into an easy smile.
ā€œYou know,ā€ you said, leaning back and feeling the warmth of the couch soak into your bones, ā€œI donā€™t do this enough. Iā€™m so... wrapped up in work and life and... I just forget to relax.ā€
Viktor tilted his head, eyes slightly narrowed as he watched you. ā€œRelaxing can be overrated,ā€ he said with a smirk, the words a little slower than theyā€™d been earlier. He took another drink from the bottle, his thumb brushing against the glass in an unconscious rhythm. When he passed it to you, your fingers brushed once again, and you lingered just a bit longer than necessary.
ā€œWell, maybe for you,ā€ you chuckled. ā€œBut, for me, itā€™s like... it's like a luxury, I guess. You know? I donā€™t remember the last time I just sat with someone and... and didnā€™t feel like I had to be somewhere or do something.ā€
ā€œYou ehā€“... donā€™t have to worry about that here,ā€ Viktor said quietly, his voice light, with that usual teasing edge. But something was different in his tone, something that made the words feel heavier than they should have been. You couldnā€™t quite put your finger on it, but the air seemed to shift, the quiet between you stretching into something almostā€¦ charged.
You took another sip, your hand a little unsteady now. The whole situation felt absurdā€”awkward, even, yet strangely intimate in a way you hadnā€™t expected. Your gaze drifted toward his lips without thinking. It was brief, but enough to send a flutter through your stomach, and suddenly, your mind couldnā€™t focus on anything but that soft, confident curve of his mouth. Maybe it was the wine, maybe it was something else entirely, but you couldnā€™t seem to think straight anymore.
Viktor shifted closer again, and the couch beneath you groaned as it sank with the weight of it. The space between you closed, and you could feel the warmth of his body pressing against yours shoulder to shoulder, like the alcohol spreading through you, making your pulse quicken.
For a long moment, he didnā€™t say anything. His presence was a solid thing beside you. His eyes were locked on yours, studying, but still so calm. You could feel the punch of his gaze on you, like it was seeping through your skin, sending heat rushing to your cheeks. It wasnā€™t just the wine nowā€”you could feel it all over, heat blooming beneath your skin, making you fidget slightly.
ā€œSometimesā€¦ you get caught up in what youā€™re doing, and you forget about everything else,ā€ you mumbled, trying to ignore the way your nerves were tightening your chest. ā€œIā€™ve been focused on my career andā€”god, Iā€™ve probably been a littleā€¦ I donā€™t know, closed off.ā€ You laughed lightly, but it was nervous, unsure of where this was even coming from. But suddenly all your senses were barraged by him, his smell, his eyes.
ā€œI justā€”I havenā€™t thought about it. Relationships, I mean. Not in a long time. I donā€™t know if Iā€™m even ready for anything like that. Not now, not with everything Iā€™m doing.ā€ You trailed off, self-conscious, suddenly feeling like you were saying too much, rambling without stopping. The words seemed to just slip out of you, tumbling over each other.
You took another shaky breath, your heart thudding in your chest as you tried to make yourself stop, but you couldnā€™t. It was like you were helpless.
ā€œAnd, I mean, if anybody were to kiss meā€¦ā€ You faltered, realizing too late just how much you were giving away. Your pulse quickened, your thoughts jumbled as your mouth just kept moving. ā€œI would want that person to be you.ā€
The air between you thickened, the silence stretching long and heavy. Your heart pounded in your chest, a nervous rhythm that drowned out everything else. You waited for him to say something, to break the tension that was suffocating you. But there was nothing. Just the weight of his gaze on you, steady and searching.
When you finally dared to glance at him Viktor's expression was unreadable. One thick eyebrow was cocked slightly, and his mouth hung open just enough to suggest he was about to say something, but didn't. He was so close but somehow the distance between you felt infinite.
You opened your mouth to say something, to fill the silence, but before you could speak, his hand moved, his fingers brushing against your jaw in the gentlest touch. The sudden warmth of his palm made your breath catch, and before you could even fully process it, he was pulling you in. His lips met yours, soft at first, as though testing the waters, as if the moment itself was delicate. But that softness didn't last, between the buzz of alcohol, the closeness, the heat between youā€”it all blurred together. The kiss deepened, quickly turning urgent, hungry. His hand moved to the back of your neck, pulling you closer as the bottle slipped from your grasp, its clang against the concrete floor echoing in the quiet of the rooftop
You didn't care. You were too lost in the feeling of him against you, his lips moving against yours with a desperate kind of need. The kiss grew messierā€“ clumsy, teeth scraping, tongues tangling. You could taste the faint sweetness of wine on him, the mix of flavors making everything feel dizzying overwhelming.
You found yourself gripping his shirt, pulling him closer, as if trying to merge your bodies together, desperate for the contact, for whatever it was that had been building between you two for so long.Ā 
-
The next day was a harsh slap of hangover reality. Your head pounded, your mouth was dry, and every time you glanced at Viktor across the room, your stomach flipped in a way that had nothing to do with the booze.
Jayce, of course, was none the wiser. He chatted away over breakfast like nothing had changed, blissfully unaware of the shift that had unraveled everything you thought youā€™d had under control. And you? You were wholly committed to keeping it that way. It was a one-time thing, you told yourself. Just a fleeting, drunken thingā€”something you could both quietly bury and move on from.
At least, that was the plan.
Until it happened again. And then again.
Now it feels like a thread being pulled tighter and tighter, until youā€™re not sure if youā€™re going to unravel completely or snap under the weight.
This wasnā€™t supposed to happen. But here you are. And you donā€™t know how to stop.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
just practice part 2
part 1!
pairings! bsf!jj x reader
in which! you cant stop thinking about the night you lost your virginity to jjā€¦. even though you have a boyfriend
warnings! 18+ smut. cheating. fingering. oral sex (m. recieving) pnv sex. unprotected sex. not proof read.
Tumblr media
it had been two months since you lost your virginity to jj and almost a month and a half since you started officially dating your new boyfriend.
he was nice. he took you out to eat once a week, he bought you small gifts, he complimented you and you never argued. but the sex was justā€¦bad. it was always over way too quickly and he never payed any attention to your body or what you wanted. you figured he was just one of those boys who was too scared to go down on a girl, which was fine, but it probably wouldnā€™t suit you in the long run.
you hadnā€™t been hanging around your friends very often, usually turning them down to go out with your boyfriend and jj was getting increasingly frustrated with this.
but every time you were around your friends, jj in particular, you couldnā€™t even look him in the eye. when you talked to him, all you thought about was the way he called you baby when he came on your stomach and the way he made you cum on his face. you felt so completely guilty for these thoughts, but nothing would stop them. you figured the best plan of action was to avoid him. not entirely, but just try not to be around him alone.
but, you did end up alone with jj by mistake one afternoon.
you had just finished surfing with kie as the swell had come in that day. you both planned to stay at the beach a little longer, but you were hungry and didnā€™t have any food. kie decided to go pick up something from the heywardā€™s shop and you went back to the chateau to grab a six pack, only to find jj working on his bike, his shirt off and his shorts dirty, probably from engine oil.
you didnā€™t say anything as you walked up the steps to the porch, but jj noticed you and called out.
ā€œhey, y/n!ā€ he yelled, wiping his hands off on a towel and throwing it on his bike. ā€œthought you were gonna stay at the shore until later?ā€
you were in your damp bikini top and bottoms and a pair of sandals. you turned around at the sound of his voice and met his gaze.
ā€œyeah..ā€ you said. awkwardly. ā€œi am, i was just grabbing some beers.ā€ you turn back around, pulling open the screen door and stepping inside. once youā€™re in the kitchen with the refrigerator door cracked, you hear jj come into the chĆ¢teau after you.
ā€œwhatā€™s going on with you?ā€ he asks, standing in the living room. you shut the refrigerator and look over at him with furrowed brows.
ā€œwhat do you mean?ā€ you question, although you knew exactly what he meant. you didnā€™t expect the confrontation to happen now of all times.
ā€œdonā€™t act like you donā€™t know.ā€ he crosses his arms over his chest. ā€œyouā€™ve been weird around me ever since we..ā€
you didnā€™t want to hear him say it.
ā€œjj, iā€™ve just been hanging around my boyfriend a lot,ā€ you try to defend yourself, hoping heā€™ll stop questioning you. ā€œiā€™m sorry i havenā€™t been talking to you. ā€˜been busy.ā€
he nods, biting his lip and looking down at the floor.
ā€œdo you regret it?ā€ he asks, looking back up at you.
ā€œwhat?ā€ you shake your head. ā€œno, i just-ā€œ
ā€œyou promised you wouldnā€™t make things weird between us and now you barely even talk to me.ā€ jj said. ā€œyou sure i didnā€™t do something wrong?ā€
ā€œno jj!ā€ your voice raised slightly. ā€œi-ā€œ you cut yourself off, not knowing what to say. ā€œitā€™s just that every time i try and talk to you, i think about what we did.ā€ you blurt out, almost making it sound like you both murdered someone and hid the body. you made it sound like a crime, and it pogue rules, it technically was. ā€œi thought that avoiding you was gonna take my mind off it until i got over it.ā€
he walks closer to the kitchen, tossing his hat somewhere on the counter.
ā€œso you do regret it?ā€ he questions, leaning against the counter and looking straight at you.
you shake your head no.
ā€œi donā€™t, but itā€™s kind of wrong of me to think about you while my boyfriendā€™s fucking me.ā€
you realized what you said after it had already left your mouth and your eyes widened.
ā€œwhatā€™d you say?ā€ he asks, cocking his head a little at your admission, a barely visible smile playing on his lips.
ā€œuh-ā€œ
you quickly turn around to open the fridge again, looking for some beers to take and get the hell up out of there.
ā€œno, say it again.ā€ jj pulls your arm, twisting you back around to face him so that your bodies were dangerously close together. your face flushed with embarrassment and your heart was thumping out of your chest.
ā€œjj,ā€ you say, shrugging off his touch. ā€œi really gotta go back to the shore.ā€ you say, but you werenā€™t moving. jj knew that wasnā€™t what you really wanted.
ā€œiā€™m not stopping you.ā€ he pulled back from you and leaned against the counter once again, showing that you had free will to leave, but you still didnā€™t budge. your feet were glued in place.
you wanted to kiss him so bad and get that ridiculous smile off his lips, but the thought of your boyfriend who did little to please you was the only thing that was keeping you from doing it. you bit the inside of your cheek, nervously. the tension between you two was going to make your head explode.
ā€œhe doesnā€™t fuck you like i do, does he?ā€
his words were your final straw.
you grabbed both sides of his face and instantly connected you lips with his. he kissed you back without a second thought, wrapping his arms around your waist. he backed you into the refrigerator as his lips moved perfectly with yours.
his fingers trailed down your hips and to your clothed core. he pulled away from the kiss to look at you, silently asking for permission for him to touch you, and you gave it.
still having you against the refrigeratorā€™s surface, he skillfully moved your bikini bottoms to the side as two of his fingers sunk into your entrance. you were embarrassingly soaked already. you fight back a moan as he pulled out of you, just to slide right back in, hitting the spot he knew you needed.
ā€œall this and iā€™ve barely even touched you?ā€ he mocked, taking his fingers out of you and bringing them to his mouth. he looked you in the eyes as he sucked your slickness from his fingers. your lips were parted as you watched, desperately needing his hands on you again.
he then picked you up, his hands hooked under your thighs. you giggled as he carried you to the bedroom, kicking the door closed.
he gently placed you on the bed and reconnected his lips with yours, his tongue swiping yours. you reached to work on his belt, swiftly undoing it and pulling it off while never breaking the kiss. you slid his shorts down, his boxers barely hiding his desperation for you.
you palm him through the fabric, eliciting a groan from him against your lips that you needed to hear more of.
you sunk to your knees in front of him, yanking his boxers down and allowing his painfully hard cock to spring free. you took him in your hand, pumping a few times before your tongue poked through your lips to lick a long stripe from the base of his shaft to the tip.
he gently grabbed your hair, trying to pull you away, but you licked him again, which loosened his grip.
ā€œyou donā€™t have to-ā€œ his eyes rolled back as you finally took him all in your mouth, hollowing out your cheeks as you sucked his cock. your hands were placed on his knees. the moan you heard from him encouraged you to keep going, although his tip was hitting the back of your throat and you were trying hard not to gag. ā€œfuck- baby, you donā€™t have to do this.ā€
you pull him from your mouth, a string of spit connecting your lips with his tip.
ā€œi want to.ā€ you say before taking him in your mouth again. he tries to keep his eyes locked with yours, but his head falls back in pleasure, his fingers lacing into your hair.
you only knew how to do this because your boyfriend showed you. you had to keep your eyes closed the whole time so you could pretend it was jj.
his breathing was getting heavier with each rise and fall of his chest as soft moans and strings of curses fell from his lips. he couldnā€™t help but thrust his hips forward, forcing his cock farther into your mouth. there were tears brimming your eyes as you tried to focus on pleasuring him.
ā€œfuck- mā€™not gonna last much longer like this.ā€ he said.
you kept going, desperately wanting to bring him over the edge, but he pulled your hair back, taking you off of him.
ā€œgotta stop you, princess.ā€ he grabbed your hands and helped you up from your knees. you sat on the bed, pouting. he stood over you, brushing your hair out of your face and noticing your change of attitude. ā€œdidnā€™t wanna cum like that.ā€
as much as you wished you could make him cum by sucking him off, you couldnā€™t complain now that he was giving you attention.
his hands guided themselves to your waist, where he then told you to turn around so you were now on your hands and knees, your ass facing him. he was still standing as he held your hips from the edge of the bed. you felt his tip at your entrance.
ā€œthis okay?ā€ he asked.
you give him a yes, and then you feel him slowly enter you. it felt so much different than when he had been on top of you before. there was a slight pain due to how much deeper he could push into you from this angle, but the pain melted into pleasure within seconds.
he pulled out just to drive himself back into you. his pace was slow until you adjusted to the position, and then he steadily began going faster. his fingers dug into the sides of your ass, pulling you into him with every thrust.
as he went harder, you gripped the sheets and stuffed your face into the mattress under you, trying to keep yourself quiet, but you couldnā€™t stop the moans that escaped your lips.
ā€œfuck-ā€œ jj cursed under his breath, his grip on you getting even harder. ā€œfeel so good, canā€™t get enough of this pussyā€
his words brought you closer and his pace increased. you could feel him getting tenser, his thrusts getting sloppier.
ā€œcould have you like this every day if i could- shit.ā€
you were almost over the edge, the knot in your stomach threatening to undo.
ā€œfuck- mā€™gonna cum princessā€ he moaned.
his last thrusts were deep and slow and they led you into perfect ecstasy. you came undone around his cock, moaning into the sheets right in time for him to pull out and finish on your back- your name leaving his mouth with curses and moans.
your body was limp when he cleaned your back with a towel, still in a haze from your orgasm.
ā€œyou okay?ā€ he asked, running a hand down the middle of your back, feeling the ridges of your spine.
you nodded and sat up, grabbing your bikini from the floor and slipping it back on.
ā€œkie is gonna kill me.ā€ you say, slipping your sandals on your feet. ā€œsheā€™s not gonna believe any excuse i try to give her.ā€
ā€œiā€™ll drive you down there.ā€ jj offered. ā€œi mean- are your legs alright to walk all the way to the shore or-ā€œ
you threw his shirt at his face and scoffed at him.
you had agreed to let him drive you to the beach while you fixed your hair in the visor mirror, trying to make yourself look presentable. although the whole way there you could only think about the words he said while he fucked you. you had no idea if he meant it or if it was just a thing he said in the moment. and this definitely wasnā€™t going to help save your thoughts about your boyfriend.

so one of the things that's so horrifying about birth control is that you have to, like, navigate this incredibly personal choice about your body and yet also face the epitome of misogyny. like, someone in the comments will say it wasn't that bad for me, and you'll be utterly silenced. like, everyone treats birth control like something that's super dirty. like, you have no fucking information or control over this thing because certain powerful people find it icky.
first it was the oral contraceptives. you went on those young, mostly for reasons unrelated to birth control - even your dermatologist suggested them to control your acne. the list of side effects was longer than your arm, and you just stared at it, horrified.
it made you so mentally ill, but you just heard that this was adulthood. that, yes, there are of course side effects, what did you expect. one day you looked up yasmin makes me depressed because surely this was far too intense, and you discovered that over 12,000 lawsuits had been successfully filed against the brand. it remains commonly prescribed on the open market. you switched brands a few times before oral contraceptives stopped being in any way effective. your doctor just, like, shrugged and said you could try a different brand again.
and the thing is that you're a feminist. you know from your own experience that birth control can be lifesaving, and that even when used for birth control - it is necessary healthcare. you have seen it save so many people from such bad situations, yourself included. it is critical that any person has access to birth control, and you would never suggest that we just get rid of all of it.
you were a little skeeved out by the implant (heard too many bad stories about it) and figured - okay, iud. it was some of the worst pain you've ever fucking experienced, and you did it with a small number of tylenol in your system (3), like you were getting your bikini line waxed instead of something practically sewn into your body.
and what's wild is that because sometimes it isn't a painful insertion process, it is vanishingly rare to find a doctor that will actually numb the area. while your doctor was talking to you about which brand to choose, you were thinking about the other ways you've been injured in your life. you thought about how you had a suspicious mole frozen off - something so small and easy - and how they'd numbed a huge area. you thought about when you broke your wrist and didn't actually notice, because you'd thought it was a sprain.
your understanding of pain is that how the human body responds to injury doesn't always relate to the actual pain tolerance of the person - it's more about how lucky that person is physically. maybe they broke it in a perfect way. maybe they happened to get hurt in a place without a lot of nerve endings. some people can handle a broken femur but crumble under a sore tooth. there's no true way to predict how "much" something actually hurts.
in no other situation would it be appropriate for doctors to ignore pain. just because someone can break their wrist and not feel it doesn't mean no one should receive pain meds for a broken wrist. it just means that particular person was lucky about it. it should not define treatment.
in the comments of videos about IUDs, literally thousands of people report agony. blinding, nauseating, soul-crushing agony. they say things like i had 2 kids and this was the worst thing i ever experienced or i literally have a tattoo on my ribs and it felt like a tickle. this thing almost killed me or would rather run into traffic than ever feel that again.
so it's either true that every single person who reports severe pain is exaggerating. or it's true that it's far more likely you will experience pain, rather than "just a pinch." and yet - there's nothing fucking been done about it. it kind of feels like a shrug is layered on top of everything - since technically it's elective, isn't it kind of your fault for agreeing to select it? stop being fearmongering. stop being defensive.
you fucking needed yours. you are almost weirdly protective of it. yours was so important for your physical and mental health. it helped you off hormonal birth control and even started helping some of your symptoms. it still fucking hurt for no fucking reason.
once while recovering from surgery, they offered you like 15 days of vicodin. you only took 2 of them. you've been offered oxy for tonsillitis. you turned down opioids while recovering from your wisdom tooth extraction. everything else has the option. you fucking drove yourself home after it, shocked and quietly weeping, feeling like something very bad had just happened. the nurse that held your hand during the experience looked down at you, tears in her eyes, and said - i know. this is cruelty in action.
and it's fucked up because the conversation is never just "hey, so the way we are doing this is fucking barbaric and doctors should be required to offer serious pain meds" - it's usually something around the lines of "well, it didn't kill you, did it?"
you just found out that removing that little bitch will hurt just as bad. a little pinch like how oral contraceptives have "some" serious symptoms. like your life and pain are expendable or not really important. like maybe we are all hysterical about it?
hysteria comes from the latin word for uterus, which is great!
you stand here at a crossroads. like - this thing is so important. did they really have to make it so fucking dangerous. and why is it that if you make a complaint, you're told - i didn't even want you to have this in the first place. we're told be careful what you wish for. we're told that it's our fault for wanting something so illict; we could simply choose not to need medication. that maybe if we don't like the scraps, we should get ready to starve.
we have been saying for so long - "i'm not asking you to remove the option, i'm asking you to reconsider the risk." this entire time we hear: well, this is what you wanted, isn't it?
#where's the word woman in this u might wonder if u suck#good news i am nonbinary and have a uterus so that is something that can happen#im also gender fluid tho which means im immune to certain psychic damage bc if u call me a woman i'll be like <3 okay <3#writeblr#the tightrope of ''ppl need access to this''#and like also#''what the fuck is going on over there'' is like. so difficult as an activist#i was <3 punctured <3 during mine#and almost bled out on the table :) they didn't have anyone standing by bc it's ''just a little insertion''#so i started crashing and i vaguely remember apologizing for the fuss as i heard my heart rate monitor start going <3 tachycardic <3#she wasn't even a bad doctor tbh#ps btw the reason i even HAD a heart monitor is that i have a genuine heart condition and they knew GOING IN that there was a chance#i'd crash on the table#like my heart just likes to do fun little tricks and <3 stop working <3 (i do not want to discuss the specifics ty i am okay im ontop of it#and they were like 'oh u will be fine' and then she did do a puncture thru my uterus . pop!#and im sitting there dizzy and feeling my heartrate start to drop bc it feels almost. beautiful. like. the whole ground just#woosh! out from under you. and shit is like grey's anatomy. i'm looking up at her grey eyes#she's old she wears this nice shawl she's like got Cool Lesbian vibes and people are sprinting into the room#from other parts of the clinic unrelated to me. while the monitor is like a little aria singing#and shes like hey youre okay stay awake stay with me something went wrong we have to keep trying#and i remember thinking - i was trying to think of nice things. i have so many beautiful places that now overlap#with this terrible memory#i became dimly aware that there was too much on her wrists and hands. like#that was too many liters#and then when they had finished all this. i packed up and drove myself home#i have had (bad thing) happen to me. and the same feeling happened after#that numb almost lamblike bleating. you cry without noise. like. ur body is so shocked and ur mind so empty#you just stare at the road and everything everything is happening behind glass and static and you are standing so far away from it#while you hold ur hands at 10 and 2. and something in ur brain is SCREAMING at you - IT WAS BAD AND IT SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED#and ur just watching the alarms in your body going off and youre thinking. a little pinch! ha. i think i just lost something important.

Male Hashira x Reader - Hold my hands
Tumblr media
author's note: my fever has killed me a few times during this post.
pairing: Tengen x reader, Obanai x reader, Rengoku x reader, Sanemi x reader, Giyuu x reader, Gyomei x reader
content warning: nsfw, sexual intercourse (Rengoku, Giyuu), mildly suggestive (Sanemi)
Tumblr media
Tengen:
ā€¢ who knows exactly what his hands can do to you and despite his teasing nature uses them for your comfort
ā€¢ enjoys seeing you calm down because of his hands and though he doesn't want you to feel bad he certainly doesn't mind calming you down
he's been looking towards the sky for quite some time now, sitting under the tree with the person he adored most.
you were so strong, so sure of your actions-
and sometimes you felt insecure and the worry seemed to consume you. he understood it, he understood your fear of failure and the future that would follow.
that's why he had no problems consoling you when you needed it most, taking his time to sit with you in silence. words weren't needed in these times, only the comfort of his presence.
he allowed himself to glance down at you, feeling the tender touches of your fingers on his. you were strong, he didn't doubt that, but your body felt so fragile compared to his own.
the difference in the size of your hands proved it to him every single time. he knew you could protect yourself, but if you couldn't, he would be there for you.
"i think i'm feeling better." you said, your eyes finally focusing on his face instead of his hands. you had been touching and playing with his fingers for quite some time now, your hold on them decreasing.
"ya sure? you still look down." he answered, earning a hesitant nod from you. feeling your hand let go of him made him act, bringing his own hand up to the back of your head.
"i don't believe it and lying is not flashy in my eyes. let's stay a bit longer." you were quite surprised when he pressed your head against his chest, looking up at the sky again.
somehow he always knew what you needed, even when you didn't admit it. and with a gentle smile, as well as his hand running through your hair, you sunk into a deep slumber.
Tumblr media
Obanai:
ā€¢ who is surprised when he found out you were fascinated by his hands.
ā€¢ someone like you adoring a feature of his? the mere thought made him blush when he was laying awake at night.
ā€¢ who enjoys holding your hand just as much as you, often turning into a blushing mess.
he knew he wasn't as strong as most other hashira. he was smaller, physically weaker. of course it gave him one or two advantages, like a flexibility the tall males around him could only dream about.
yet he secretly found himself craving their strength - at least a part of it. he wouldn't complain about a bit more arm strength, but that would remain a dream of his.
the moment he found himself content with the lack of strength he possessed clearly came with you. you had been sitting next to each other, simply enjoying the time you could spend together. at least that was what he was doing, your mind had long drifted away.
he tensed up when he felt your fingers brush over his, holding his hand. your thumb brushed over his knuckles comfortingly.
he didn't dare look at you, only turning towards you when he felt you glancing, uncertainty rising inside you with his current expression. his hand reached out to you when he felt you pull away.
"i shouldn't have done that, i'm sorry." you said, trying to escape any rising feeling of shame. you just didn't expect him to hold your hand tighter.
"don't stop." he answered, his tone letting it appear much more like a quiet plead. surprise overtook you, quickly replaced by a comforting shyness.
your fingers interlocked with his once more, this time with switched positions. you felt goosebumps appear on your skin, your cheeks heating up.
"your hands are soft, [name].."
Tumblr media
Rengoku:
ā€¢ whether it's in public or at home, he enjoys holding your hand just as much as you like holding his
ā€¢ however, one attractive thing he does is taking your hand after overstimulating you
"honey.." he pants, trying not to cum a second time from the way you were squeezing around him, body basically trying to milk him even in your current state.
it had started a few hours ago, when he came home from a long mission. he had missed you during his time in the snowy mountains, deciding that his arrival would be the perfect moment to show you how much he appreciates your body.
having to cum multiple times - first his fingers, then his tongue and now his cock - was just too much for your poor body.
of course Rengoku realized that, seeing you shake and tremble under him, small tears running down your flushed cheeks. you were still caught up in your orgasm, trying to even out your breathing pattern.
"it's okay, we're done. breathe, little flame." he panted, hands letting go of the sheets of your shared bed, sitting upright and looking down at you.
he didn't pull out, simply admiring your panting form laying on the bed. his hands snaked along your arms, holding your hands and pressing them into the matress.
feeling the warmth of his palm press against yours got your attention, a silent moan leaving your lips. "are you okay?" the question made you nod quietly, finally being able to register the world around you again.
"'m so sore.." you mumbled, watching the man above you laugh, squeezing your hands in response.
Tumblr media
Sanemi:
ā€¢ he absolutely loves it
ā€¢ you clearly developed a liking to your hand and he's fully using that to fluster you
ā€¢ taking you by surprise is his favorite
you've been standing in the kitchen, making sure all the medical herbs you've received were in their right place. you needed to make sure they're easily accessible when Sanemi came home injured.
in your concentrated state, you didn't notice the tall man approaching you slowly - lurking like a predator.
and then you shriek, feeling a slap land on your ass. out of reflex you leaned forward, your head quickly turning around to find Sanemi right behind you.
"missed me?" he teased, stepping closer until he was right behind you, hands placed on the counter on either side of you. he pressed his body against yours with a smirk, resulting in your face getting a lot warmer than before.
"Sanemi! you always do this!" you scolded him, trying to turn around from the sheer embarrassment you just faced or rather the excitement that pooled in your body.
"what can i say? can't resist you with a fine ass like that." he chuckled, letting go of the counter to squeeze your behind with his calloused fingers, earning a whine from you.
"and truthfully, i think you can't resist me either." hearing him whisper into your ear, hand traveling up your side, made you stare at the watch.
he was right, you couldn't resist him, nor could he resist you. besides, the herbs could wait for a while.
Tumblr media
Giyuu:
ā€¢ initially he was the one that liked holding your hands, it was the most simple form of physical touch he could come up with
ā€¢ still a touch-starved man, WILL have his hands on you the whole time when you're making love.
ā€¢ knows it gets you more exited, wouldn't judge you for it either, since he gets just as exited when he sees you
"Oh~ baby.." he gasped, head resting against the headboard of your bed. he watched you lazily bounce up and down his cock, trying to work yourself into ecstacy.
whenever you were sharing such passionate moments with each other, he could feel his fingers twitch with the need to hold onto your body - onto you.
they first slid up your thighs, holding onto your hips, guiding you to grind back against him. he loved the feeling of your warmth and he loved the reactions his hands could coax out of you.
he didn't miss out on the way your lips opened in a silent cry, begging to feel his hands run over your body, around your neck or anything else that allowed you to feel them.
and of course he'll answer.
"hold.. hold my hands.. i want to feel you.." he moans, letting go of your hips only to intertwine his fingers with yours, feeling your hips stutter.
he certainly knew how to exploit your weakness for his hands - especially since he was just as weak for you.
Tumblr media
Gyomei:
ā€¢ likes using his hands to calm you down
ā€¢ they're like a security rope connecting the two of you when the situation makes uncertainty rise within you
"my dearest child, are you ready to serve as a hashira?" the soothing voice of master Kagaya usually managed to calm you down, but not today.
you sat in front of him, a private meeting being held between the two of you and a pillar of choice. naturally, you went with the one you trusted most - the stone pillar.
it would've been an honor to serve as a hashira, every demon slayer knew that, but being confronted with the choice of being one, you found yourself unsure.
the pillars were the strongest humans you had ever set your eyes on, you weren't sure if you could stand by their side.
lowering your head in shame, you were ready to decline the master's offer. however, you were stopped by the blind man next to you.
he placed a large hand on your back, the warmth seeping into your skin slowly calming you down, letting you think properly.
you weren't chosen without a reason, if the master wanted you to become a hashira, he trusted in your talent.
swallowing down your uncertainty, you nodded with little to no hesitance. "i'm ready."
next to you, still his hand on your back, Gyomei found himself smiling. if it was his presence you needed to make a decision, he'd gladly do this for you everytime.

-:-:-:-:-
The night was meant to be a simple one. After weeks of assignments, exams, quizzes, and extracurricular activities at college, all you wanted to do was relax. Well, you still had one more assignment left to do, but maybe you were able to kill two birds with one stone, right?Ā 
Luckily, this assignment was one that you could easily ask for help with from your friend. Someone who always stole movies for you to borrow on many weekends anyways. With your class being based on books which turned into film adaptations, it means a lot of time spent reading and watching. In truth, you felt bad for your classmates who had to rent out the tapes for extended periods just to finish analysis for assignments; all while you didnā€™t even need to bat an eyelash in Steveā€™s direction for him to hide movies in your backpack while his manager wasnā€™t looking.Ā 
With the theme of this particular assignment matching the season and going with horror films, a movie night was something that you craved. Thick sweaters, even thicker blankets, a bit of hot chocolate, and candy from the grocery store that had the orange and black packaging ā€” they were all of the aspects to the marathon you proposed when you walked into Family Video on a Friday afternoon after you got off the bus. Despite all of your convincing tactics, your friend already had his answer long before you began to ask.
ā€œAnything for you, dove. Iā€™ll get everything on this list for us,ā€ Steve smiled at you, after looking at the assignment rubric, as you stood on the other side of the cash register.Ā 
ā€œAlright, maybe I should place a pizza order now so that we donā€™t starve during the Friday dinner rush tonight,ā€ you said sweetly as you nervously thought about what to order.Ā 
ā€œDonā€™t you worry about it, itā€™s on me. Let me treat you a little.ā€Ā 
ā€œIā€™m the one who asked you to have a movie marathon with me, I should really be the one paying,ā€ you insisted while you brought your hand closer to the telephone.Ā 
But, quickly, the man was able to grasp it lightly to stop you from moving towards the numbers. You could never admit just how much your skin tingled at the touch. ā€œIā€™m serious. This shift finishes in twenty minutes, then I can drive us home and Iā€™m all yours. Do whatever you want with me, dove. I can even help out with your stress relief later. Maybe Iā€™ll bend ā€”ā€Ā 
ā€œPlease donā€™t continue that sentence,ā€ you cut him off easily. Steve always loved to tease you and any eavesdroppers who may be listening in and theorizing if you two were dating or not. The town is full of gossip fiends. ā€œAny louder and people will start to believe you.ā€Ā 
The younger Harrington chuckled as he got out from behind the counter to stand fully in front of you. He adored to see the way you outwardly pretended you hated theĀ fakeĀ moves he would pull. From him putting his arm around your shoulder whilst walking around town, whistling every other time he picked you up from the city bus stop, to intimidating every guy who looked in your direction for too long. However, both of you never knew the other wished for it all to be real.Ā 
ā€œFine, fine, Iā€™ll be good and stop teasing you,ā€ he chuckled lowly.Ā 
ā€œThank you,ā€ you smiled to yourself before looking up at Steve with wide eyes. ā€œSo will you also be buying garlic knots tonight too?ā€Ā 
ā€œYes, as long as you promise to stay awake until the final movie, sleepy girl.ā€Ā 
-:-:-:-:-
You, in fact, did not stay awake the whole movie night. It wasnā€™t Tim Curryā€™s fault either. Normally, it was tradition for you two to end off every evening like this with one musical or something more lighthearted to offset the mood. But the day just exhausted you from every angle, that once you finally got to relax and watch a movie for leisure ā€” you relaxed a little too hard. Adding the components of the cold pizza and Steve putting a blanket on you while continuously keeping a grasp on your knee, you were bound to knock out before the movie ended. Later, it was Steve who woke you up with a whisper in your ear. The sound shocked you at first, and then when you opened your eyes to see the man kneeling in front of you, it did cause a slightly loud gasp to escape your lips. After some groaning on your end about not wanting to intrude, you finally gave in to the invitation Steve gave to let you sleep over tonight. The main contributing factor had to be the fact that the man had a really nice blanket and pillow set that felt like it came from a hotel.Ā 
However, as you both ended off the night in your room, it was Steve who began to groan ā€” although, it was due to pure frustration.
ā€œI donā€™t have any clean clothes,ā€ your host said as he rummaged through his drawers.Ā 
ā€œHow about any sweater and some of those long johns your mother always buys you?ā€ you giggled as you sat on the bed now, reading a book you recently checked out from the library.Ā 
ā€œOr you could always sleep naked, I heard itā€™s really healthy for you. Plus, I would not mind at ā€” ow,ā€ Steve was on his little sarcastic joke before you threw an old pair of socks at his head.Ā 
ā€œMaybe I should just head home, this feels like such a nuisance to you,ā€ you smiled and whispered shyly.Ā 
Steve really was trying hard to find you something to sleep in. So much so that it caused some sweat to drop on his forehead. But, truly, the man was standing there trying to work up the courage to ask you to put on one of his old swim team sweaters and a cotton pair of shorts he knew would hug your body beautifully.Ā 
Yes, you have slept over before when you were younger. However, those were all planned out with you bringing something from home. Well, there was one emergency where you stayed the night due to a horrific snow storm; but, Mrs. Harrington was there to give you your Christmas present a few weeks early and allow you to sleep in some pyjamas which were covered in cute bunnies. This was the first time you would be here spontaneously alone with Steve ā€” and god, did he feel like all of his prayers were answered. The amount of times he has imagined you laying on his bed, committing the most sinful acts, in various positions and scenarios, could be seen as absolutely perverted. So to have the opportunity to have you on his bed, wearing his clothes, covered in his blanket; it all seemed unfathomable to the man.Ā 
ā€œHere,ā€ Steve exclaimed quickly so that you would actually stay. ā€œMaybe you would be alright with this sweatshirt and some shorts?ā€Ā 
ā€œThis is more than alright. Thank you, Steve,ā€ You skipped off to the washroom to finally get ready for bed and let your friend change into his own pyjamas.Ā 
However, when you got the clothing on, it was so embarrassing to stare into the mirror. Everything fits fine ā€” and on a normal day at home, you would probably wear something similar. But remembering the fact that you would be sleeping next to your best friend was so nerve wracking. It was just a lot shorter than what you would usually wear around him if you did wear a skirt or shorts. You just thanked the heavens that the blanket would be covering your legs so that you didnā€™t feel as exposed.Ā 
Not that you believed Steve would try anything; not that youĀ didnā€™tĀ want him to try anything either. But, you were scared of getting so cold and cuddling too close to him like you did last December during the winter storm. Waking up in Steveā€™s arms caused your heart to flutter so harshly that your heart rate didnā€™t go down for days. It made you think about how badly you wished you could wake up to his handsome face everyday. Most especially, it made you think about how nicely his leg felt right in between your thighs, and the way it massaged your ā€”Ā 
No.Ā 
This was an innocent sleepover like the thousands that other best friends have had over the years. All you had to do was sleep next to him with a pillow between your bodies and hope you didnā€™t accidentally roll your way into his arms again. You werenā€™t sure if you were ready for the heartbreak of knowing that being entwined in each otherā€™s arms would not last forever.Ā 
ā€œDo you want the left or right side of the bed?ā€ Steve called out from the other side of the door, startling you out of your thoughts.Ā 
ā€œAnything is fine,ā€ you replied whilst opening the door. Seeing that Steve was laying in the middle, ready to roll over to whichever side you preferred. The image of him with arms and legs spread out made you giggle.Ā 
ā€œThe left side is closer to the lamp if youā€™d like to read a bit before sleeping,ā€ he said as he shifted over to the ride side of the bed and patted to your new spot.Ā 
ā€œAre you a mind reader or something?ā€ you chuckled between steps.
Steve put the book in the air as you tucked yourself into bed, a nice distance away from him. Once he saw you were comfortable, he placed the book gently in your lap and said: ā€œno, but I could tell your little nap will probably have you staying awake for the next hour or so.ā€Ā 
ā€œOh, if the light is gonna bother you then I can turn it off and head to sleep too.ā€Ā 
The concern in your eyes was absolutely beautiful. As you started up at him with the lamp glowing behind you, you looked like a nymph in the night. And oh how Steve knew he would be the luckiest man alive to sleep next to you.Ā 
ā€œGo ahead, dove. I can sleep through anything,ā€ he whispered lowly whilst rubbing your thigh that was covered by the thick blanket. ā€œWhatā€™s it about anyways?ā€Ā 
You took a deep breath to calm down before speaking. Steveā€™s touch caused you to feel warm, even more so when he squeezed your thigh every few moments. ā€œNot too sure about the entire plot since Iā€™m only on chapter two. But itā€™s about a prince and his beast companion. Theyā€™ve been best friends for a long time and are going on adventures. This was in the romance section so Iā€™m guessing the best friends fall in love,ā€ you rambled, getting quieter with the last few words.Ā 
What a dream.Ā 
ā€œIs it dirty?ā€ Steve teased as he sunk further underneath the blanket.Ā 
ā€œNo, I-Iā€™ve never read a story like that before,ā€ you said sternly.Ā 
ā€œOh, I believe you,ā€ his voice got deeper and slower with each word, only indicating that he was bound to fall asleep any second. ā€œHave fun reading.ā€Ā 
They were the last words he said before drifting off to sleep peacefully next to you. Luckily, that meant it was a lot easier to read the rest of the book until you felt your own eyes start closing and the words on the page started to become blurry.Ā 
It was a beautiful story, full of lore and love, a mix of historical fiction and mythology. After reading and watching stories based on the horror genre for a few weeks now, it was nice to have a little bit of a break and just read about love. Your heart started to feel warm and giddy as each page passed ā€” even going as far as quietly giggling when you felt your cheeks feel warm as a result of the princeā€™s romantic actions throughout the book. You didnā€™t even notice that you were sinking further and further into the blanket because you were so engrossed in the imaginary world. It didnā€™t even matter that the angle made your back hurt a little.Ā 
Well, not really. Once you started to feel stiff, you moved into a straighter position. However, you were interrupted by a low and groggy voice.Ā 
ā€œYou want to get under here?ā€ Steve asked you through half-lidded eyes and his arm moving to invite you to move even closer into his body.Ā 
Wordlessly, you accepted the offer and went right up to Steveā€™s body. The book was on his chest while your cheek was at his side. Everything felt so comfortable and domestic ā€” a part of you wished this could last forever.Ā 
But right then, the storyline of the book went on a different path, to say the least.Ā 
You see, the prince got hurt whilst fighting off some evil spirits. He was bleeding everywhere and in so much pain. But the companion, a beautiful wolf-demon, was able to heal his wounds to the point where it wouldnā€™t be so life threatening. It was so simple, to use a little magic and bandages in hopes of survival, but the author was able to portray it wonderfully. To thank the woman, the prince moved his arms around her to hold her a warm embrace. It was so sweet, just like the position you were in now. However, it took a turn for the romantics. A little too romantic. An activity you definitely were not currently doing with Steve.Ā 
The man kissed her sweetly: from her shoulders, up to her neck, then finally landed on her plump lips. It was beautiful, so serene, accompanied by a drawing of the two in bed with locked lips and legs. Slowly, she started to rock against his leg, adoring the pressure against the place no one had touched before. As she gasped into each kiss, the prince smiled in tandem. Even moving his hips to help the lady feel more pleasure. You wondered how that felt, it was only a slight movement of the hips ā€” there was no way it could feel that good.
But you were so wrong.Ā 
Just as you tried to move positions, Steve moved his leg upwards, moving his thigh right against your heat. It felt so good, to the point where you bit your lip to suppress the whimper that was about to escape your lips. The man next to you, tried to find a better position to sleep in too, moving his legs some more until it found solace as it intertwined with your own legs.Ā 
Fuck, it feltĀ reallyĀ good. You tried so hard not to move your hips in tandem so that you could amp up the pleasure. So instead, you continued to read, trying to focus on the writing techniques and nothing else. However, you only began noting the things the characters did with one another. How they whispered sweet nothings as they continued their game to see how long it would take the lady to climax. And you noticed the way you felt warm between your legs, a slight throbbing to seal the deal.Ā 
Maybe in another world you would wake up Steve and ask him to let you out of his embrace so that you could excuse yourself to the washroom and down. But not in this one. In this world, you were at peace in his arms. In this world, you really didnā€™t care about the throbbing ache between your legs because you were extremely sleepy. In this world, you would convince yourself that it would pass. In this world, the sound of both your hearts beating as one was enough of a lullaby to cause even the most stubborn of characters to sleep. Just as you did now, with the book still on Steveā€™s chest, and your bodies squeezing closer together.Ā 
-:-:-:-:-
Steve was an extremely heavy sleeper when he was with you. Most of the time, you would be awake first during these little sleepovers and do something before he even pried his eyes open and then decided to keep them shut because of the sun seeping through the windows. It wouldnā€™t surprise Steve to see you reading at your desk or braiding friendship bracelets when you had that arts nā€™ crafts phase a couple years ago. This time, however, he was the one who awoke in the middle of the night to movement from beside him. Maybe it was due to some level of paranoia he has gained over the past few years regarding a life that he wishes you would never need to experience. Itā€™s funny that you were reading books with monsters the world has nightmares about, while he was one of the people who was facing them. He wishes so badly to protect you from all of it. So when you started moving in your sleep, something you never do, Steve felt his body wake up in an instant.Ā 
His eyes were having trouble fully opening themselves as he could hear faint whimpering sounds coming from you and slight movements near his thigh. It was enough to turn his head to the left to see what was wrong. But nothing was wrong per se. If anything this was right out of a perverted fantasy he has had millions of times before.Ā 
As his eyes finally came into focus at what was in front of him, Steve could only smile and thank the heavens. You were laying in the same position you initially fell asleep in: book held in your hand, it being face down on Steveā€™s chest on a particular page, while your own face was on the side of his chest. But, the thing that surprised him the most was the grip your thighs had around his own. Slowly, your hips were thrusting back and forth against his leg, humping over and over. Whenever your body hit the perfect spot against your clit, you would mewl against his chest, sending a vibration through his body. Your hard nipples would poke Steveā€™s stomach once in a while too.Ā 
Good Lord, he was so distracted by the vision of you thrusting against his thigh, that he didnā€™t realize just how hard he had become. He only noticed it when your leg tensed up and moved towards his crotch, touching the underside and head in the process.Ā 
You were about to become the death of him tonight.Ā 
Curiously, he picked up the book you were reading to put it on the bedside table, when the words jumped out at him.Ā 
ā€œAnd then the prince lifted the dress of the maiden beast. How scary she was to the eyes of the kingdom, but how beautiful she looked with swollen lips and lust-filled eyes. She was wet, so wet that it seeped through the layers of clothing.ā€
Just then, Steve looked down to notice how your wetness was doing the same thing. Your arousal had gone past your shorts and went onto the cotton bottoms he was wearing. But he wouldnā€™t have it any other way.
The man skipped a few paragraphs to see just exactly what the prince and his lady were up to. Words of biting, screaming, thrusting harshly against the wall, even scratches along one anotherā€™s backs. It was pornographic, it was beautiful, and Steve was shocked that your virgin eyes read through some of this before falling asleep.Ā 
If only he could recreate it with you. Seeing you moan and move to your lust-filled slumber was more than enough of a dream come true to the man. But this was wrong. So wrong. You both were best friends. He loved you, wished he could be more with you. But he believed that wasnā€™t worthy of you. You were the princess this whole town adored while he was just a former playboy many people seemed to dislike sometimes. There was a part of him that wanted to see how long it would take for you to come against his leg. However, his guilt took over quickly.Ā 
ā€œWake up, my dove. Itā€™s getting hot in here.ā€ It wasnā€™t exactly a lie. The mixture of blankets and his arousal made Steve sweat through his clothes easily.Ā 
ā€œHm? What?ā€ You rolled more onto his chest, your weight atop his body nicely. It would have been the worldā€™s most comfortable position, one that would start off most of his perverted fantasies about you; however, he had to stop himself from thrusting against your thigh that was now perfectly on top of his hardness. ā€œFeels so nice, Stevie,ā€ you murmured, still half-asleep.Ā 
ā€œFuck ā€” you really like that, huh?ā€ The man whispered as you looked up at him with glazed eyes. You were still not cognizant that what you were doing was not in a dream.Ā 
ā€œI feel so warm down there, your leg is massaging me nicely,ā€ you moaned whilst humping some more. ā€œKiss me, please.ā€Ā 
Every move you were doing, every word you were saying, every whimper that came out of your throat ā€” the man has imagined it all before. You were all of his greatest fantasies come to life. He wished so badly to ravish you on the spot and satiate all of the pent-up pleasure your body needed to release. Your lips were swollen now from all of the biting youā€™ve been doing to quiet down your moans; but, good god, the man was going to memorize it all for the sake of his future sessions with his right hand.Ā 
Steve really needed to stop this, and fully wake you up as soon as possible. This wasnā€™t the normal you, you didnā€™t even realize exactly what you were doing. ā€œPretty girl, no matter how much I want to continue this, we canā€™t.ā€ The words fell from his lips painfully.Ā 
ā€œWhy not? You donā€™t feel good?ā€ You whimpered as you reached up and put your arms around Steveā€™s neck, stopping your hipsā€™ movements all together.Ā 
ā€œFeels so good, baby,ā€ Steve moaned loudly this time as he thrusted against your leg like he imagined a million times before. It wasn't helping that you thought your face closer to his in order to hear his breathy moans easier. The man was so close to leaning forward and kissing your plump lips. ā€œBut, this isnā€™t a dream, and youā€™re not fully awake. I donā€™t want you to regret thisā€”ā€
The man was going to ramble on and continue to comfort you into waking up fully. However, you got the message loud and clear. So much so, that your heart dropped and you gasped.Ā 
ā€œOh, Iā€™m so sorry, Iā€™ll move over t-there ā€” ah.ā€ The moan coming out of your mouth was completely involuntary as you lifted your body up and intended on moving down and away from Steveā€™s figure.Ā 
ā€œDid that feel good?ā€ Steve teased, now that you were both fully cognizant of your sleeping status.Ā 
ā€œI donā€™t know why I did that, Iā€™m sorry.ā€ If only you could apologize a million times, because you would; your guilty conscience would make sure of it.Ā 
ā€œYou probably had some sweet dreams, huh?ā€Ā 
Just as you were separated from the man, you heard his words and looked over at his figure. Through the dim lighting of the lamp, you could see that he was holding up the novel you were reading before bed, and it was open to the very scene that inspired any of your hormone-induced movements tonight.Ā 
ā€œOh no,ā€ you whispered. Looking down, there was a wet spot on Steveā€™s thigh where your heat was pressed against. He was admiring it as if he were memorizing just how it looks. And he was. ā€œThis is so embarrassing,ā€ you though out loud
ā€œItā€™s no big deal, dove. Guys have nudie magazines and a video here and there. I would never judge you for a little novel,ā€ Steve chuckled as he sat up to the headboard to mirror your actions.Ā 
ā€œI didnā€™t know it was going to be like that in the story,ā€ you whispered.Ā 
ā€œDid you like it?ā€ Your friend was genuinely curious. Throughout your history as friends, you had never even asked him for advice about relationships ā€” this erotic chapter of the novel must have been a shocking first exposure to it all.Ā 
You thought about the question for a few moments. Remembering the emotions and fire you felt in different parts of your body, you could really only tell him the truth. ā€œY-yeah, I suppose so.ā€Ā Ā 
ā€œThen donā€™t feel embarrassed or bad about it,ā€ Steve nudged your shoulder sweetly to make you feel less embarrassed over the situation. ā€œNever thought you were into reading it in front of other people though.ā€
ā€œDonā€™t tease,ā€ you pouted, putting your head under the blanket to hide from the embarrassment.Ā 
ā€œIā€™ll stop, I promise. But, you did give me a wonderful way to wake up,ā€ you could hear him smiling just by the sound of his voice.Ā 
Those words made you slowly peek your way out of the thick blanket to see Steve looming over you with a smirk that teased your soul. The lamp in the room made him glow, while the moonā€™s beams that were seeping through the blinds made him look like one of the many drawings of the prince in the book you were just reading. It took all the strength within you, not to squeeze your thighs together and satiate the throbbing between them.Ā 
ā€œLetā€™s never talk about this again,ā€ you whispered, the blanket still covering your mouth.Ā 
ā€œIf thatā€™s what you would be comfortable with,ā€ Steve chuckled as he laid back in his spot.Ā 
ā€œY-yes, I would be.ā€Ā 
After a moment of awkward silence, you both in regular sleeping positions, Steve wanted to break the ice a bit. ā€œIt is a well-written book. Maybe I could borrow it sometime.ā€Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re so annoying,ā€ you giggled, grabbing a small pillow on the bed and lightly hitting his chest with it.
ā€œLearn anything while reading? You could use me as a practice dummy.ā€ The man laid on his side now, looking at you as he put on a seductive tone.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re just a dummy, Steve,ā€ you playfully scoffed with a giggle.Ā 
ā€œThat was the last one, promise. Sweet dreams, dove.ā€Ā 
In truth, Steve wanted you to sleep as quickly as possible so that he could make his way to the washroom and get rid of his hard problem. It was hurting now, even as he tried to think about anything else that would possibly subside his arousal. Your movements and moans will never be erased from his mind. Steveā€™s imagination was running wild with how you actually sounded as you were feeling pleasure.Ā 
No one has ever thanked a book more in the history of mankind.Ā 
ā€œIs that what sex is like?ā€ You whispered into the night, cutting off the manā€™s thoughts.Ā 
ā€œWhat do you mean?ā€ Steve replied as he turned to his side to look at you staring up to the ceiling.Ā Ā 
ā€œIn the book, they talk about it like it happens so fast and hard,ā€ you said the words with a concerned tone while turning your body towards his to face him.Ā 
ā€œWell, it can be fast and hard if the couple wants it that way. But, taking it slow is nice too,ā€ the man next to you chuckled sweetly.Ā 
You felt dumb asking the question. For years, you have known that Steve was a lot more experienced than you in the department of relations with the opposite sex. There have been countless times where Steve would tell you about any dates that he has gone on, or imply lewd acts he committed with his girlfriend of the week. And all you would do is nod out of pure curiosity. However, this was the first time you outright spoke about sex with him.Ā 
ā€œRight, right, that makes sense. It must feel really nice,ā€ you continued your thoughts.Ā 
ā€œIt does. Everything is so warm and wet. The noises too are something youā€™ll never forget. My hand and imagination does not do it justice sometimes.ā€ Right then, Steveā€™s mind went through flashbacks of times he has laid in bed with the image of you stuck as his muse. He has imagined the way you would react and moan to things he would do with you. Would you bite your lip whilst looking down between your bodies? Would you whimper in the same way you do when you beg Steve to drive you somewhere and he just had a long day at work? Anything you would do would be erotic, and enough fire for him to reach the happiest of endings. However, by the end, he would pray for the day he could experience the real thing with you.Ā Ā 
ā€œI wonder what it will be like for me,ā€ you giggled, bringing the blanket close to your face again.Ā 
ā€œYou got a good idea a few minutes ago,ā€ Steve teased as he looked you up and down.Ā 
All you could do was hit his shoulder then hide your face into it as he leaned back onto the bed. ā€œIt did feel really, really nice, Steve. Iā€™m so sorry.ā€Ā 
ā€œThereā€™s nothing to be sorry about. You liked it, didnā€™t you?ā€ he said, trying to soothe your embarrassment of it all. As he squeezed his arm around you tighter to have you closer to his chest, Steve realized that your bare thighs had found their way around his again. You looked so beautiful cuddling next to him, tightening your legs slowly. ā€œThen, maybe I can help. You didnā€™t get to finish, sweet girl.ā€Ā 
The deepness of Steveā€™s voice resonated through your entire body as you looked up at him with desperate eyes. His proposal sounded so good. You felt this constant throbbing between your legs that only increased ten-fold every time you and Steve accidentally breathed too close together. As you gripped his chest with your hands, and his thigh with your own ā€” you really craved to continue the pleasure you were feeling moments before.Ā 
ā€œI didnā€™t even know that I started,ā€ you pouted.Ā 
ā€œOh, but finishing is one of the best parts,ā€ he teased whilst moving his thigh upwards to massage your cunt slowly.Ā 
ā€œSteveā€”ā€ you moaned like music to his ears.
Your friend began to move his thigh up and down to stroke your pussy, hitting your clit from the right angle to make you bite your lip in between whimpers. He held your face sweetly, making sure that he could see how every movement affected you. Steve was sure that the image of your pupils getting darker would be engraved in his mind forever.Ā 
ā€œMy best friend needs help, and you know I would do anything for you,ā€ he whispered, hovering his lips above yours.Ā 
ā€œMore, please.ā€Ā 
ā€œSo polite,ā€ Steve teased, quickening his pace and moving one hand to your breasts. ā€œDoing such a dirty thing and now youā€™re being so nice.ā€Ā 
ā€œI feel so ā€” I feel like I need more,ā€ you said quietly as if it were a desperate plea.Ā 
Steve squeezed your right breast sweetly, pinching your hardened nipple through the thick sweater fabric. He noted how you thrusted yourself against his thigh and nearly fell onto his lips as you moaned.Ā 
ā€œIs your body on fire? You feel nice, dove,ā€ he smiled, kissing your cheek to tease you.Ā 
ā€œSo good. Kiss me, Steve, please.ā€ You werenā€™t sure what took over your body in that moment, but you gripped onto his hair and leaned your lips towards his. Yet, he was the one who kissed you first. It was a kiss that made the angels sing above you, one that you both have been imagining for years and years. Hearing all of the stories of girls in school raving about his talents with his mouth and tongue ā€” a part of you could never believe that he would beĀ thatĀ amazing.
But, you were wrong, so wrong.Ā 
As he kissed you deeply, poking his tongue through to taste you more, you couldnā€™t help but whimper loudly into the kiss. Steve adored it, promising himself to try everything he could to hear every variation of your beautiful sounds. Just when he brought a hand down to your back, urging your hips to move forwards on his leg, you swear you were about to see stars. This is what all the magazines were talking about. This is what all the whispered conversations during girl talk were giggling about. This is what the novel you were just reading was writing about when it came to the pleasures of the flesh. You remembered what the lady did in the book, and decided to emulate her actions. Although you were slowing down your kisses, your hand found its way to Steveā€™s clothed hardness. It was nearly peeking out of the sweatpant elastic by now which made you gasp in surprise.Ā 
ā€œGod, what did you learn in that book?ā€ Steve moaned as he felt your delicate hand on him.Ā 
ā€œThe characters in the story were really good friends too. She was always tempted to be the one who helped him out when he was really stressed out.ā€ You smiled into the kiss, noticing how teasing him only made you wetter.Ā 
You hand gripped his hardness some more, focusing on the large head that could be felt through the fabric.
ā€œHere I thought that was going to be my job tonight,ā€ Steveā€™s voice was low now as he kissed you down your neck and moved the hand that was previously on your back, to your front. The shorts you were wearing rode up to tighten upon your cunt. The fabric squeezed your clit, and caused your arousal to get all over the place where your thighs met.Ā 
Steve pushed the fabric to the side, noticing how you didnā€™t wear panties to sleep, and started to lightly massage your clit. ā€œOh God,ā€ you moaned into his mouth while arching your back.Ā 
The movement made Steve want to lay you down on your back to have easier access between your legs. Although you whimpered in slight disappointment when you didnā€™t feel the pressure of his thigh, that all went away when the man teased your wet entrance with his fingers before going up to your clit again.Ā 
ā€œNo panties, huh? Youā€™re bound to be the death of me.ā€Ā 
ā€œI normally donā€™t wear any to bed if Iā€™m wearing shorts,ā€ you whispered, moving yourself to feel his fingers more against your nub.Ā 
ā€œIs it alright if I take these off?ā€ He barely got the question out before you began to nod.Ā 
Looking at you in all your glory was absolutely mind blowing to Steve. He swears that he felt his cock twitch in excitement when he saw your arousal dripping on his sheets. The light from the lamp made you look like you were glowing, and the man was so tempted to taste what he has been craving for so long. But, he took it slow, circling your clit faster and faster as he leaned down to kiss you deeply. As every moan was swallowed by him, Steve began to thrust himself upon the side of your hip to satiate his arousal.Ā 
The moment he stopped kissing you for a moment, he wordlessly looked you in the eye, teasing your entrance now with his fingers. With a nod and smile through bitten lips, you gave him full permission to fill your hole that has been desperately throbbing around nothingness.Ā Ā 
ā€œFeels so good, Stevie. Keep doing that, please,ā€ you groaned as he fingered you deeper and deeper.Ā 
ā€œAre you close, dove? Are you gonna come? Youā€™re so tight, can barely fit these two fingers,ā€ Steve teased as he kissed your neck to make you moan louder.Ā 
ā€œMore ā€” need more.ā€ The grip you had on his hair became tighter as you pushed yourself down on his hand, nearly fucking yourself on his fingers. Feeling so stretched out was a brand new experience. You were never one to masturbate, even when everyone mentioned it was so much fun. Everything from seeing a hot guy at the mall, a rockstar who was shirtless on the cover of a magazine, or the angle of a showerhead accidentally focusing on a sweet spot ā€” none of those experiences ever happened in your life. In truth, nothing ever made you curious enough to even try to see if other things would have a similar effect. But something about this night made you want to experience it all with Steve.Ā 
The man quickened his pace with his fingers, using one hand to thrust into you while the other massaged your clit sweetly. Your moans echoed through the room as you arch your back in ecstasy. The feeling of Steveā€™s lips on your throat made you want to thrust against his hand harder, but you were too overwhelmed to move your hips in tandem. Instead, you lifted up your shirt and started to squeeze your lonely nipples.Ā 
You arenā€™t sure what took over ā€” all you knew was that everything felt so good.Ā 
ā€œFuck, you really do have the most perfect tits,ā€ Steve whispered to himself when he got up from your neck. He felt your movements and thought something was wrong. Instead, he was greeted by the sight of your swollen nipples, eager for some sort of touch. When he saw your fingers squeeze your right nipple, he could not handle it anymore and dove down to suck on them, leaving marks on your smooth skin.Ā 
ā€œSteve, everything youā€™re doing feels so good,ā€ you moaned.Ā 
ā€œAre you gonna come for me, baby? I know you can do it.ā€Ā 
And you did. Loudly. Just those words, working in tandem with his fingers and mouth, were more than enough to make you orgasm into oblivion. Steve had two fingers inside of you whilst his thumb was massaging your clit in small circles. You barely had the strength to tell him how good it felt since you were shaking below him in pleasure. All you could do was grasp Steveā€™s hair as he kissed one nipple of yours to the next. It was your very first orgasm, and you were welcoming it with open arms.Ā 
ā€œSo nice ā€”ā€ you whimpered incoherently.Ā 
Steve kissed you, swallowing in your moans of ecstasy. ā€œIā€™m never gonna get tired of that sound,ā€ he teased as he took out his fingers from inside of you and just massaged your clit as you got down from your high.Ā 
ā€œSo much better than reading a book,ā€ you giggled as your body calmed down.Ā 
ā€œMaybe we gotta find you crazier books then,ā€ Steve smiled with you while kissing your soft lips.Ā 
The kiss became deeper as you embraced one another. Your friend found his way on top of you which felt so surreal. Throughout your friendship, you never believed that some of your naughty dreams that you pushed to the side, would ever come true. Steve was having the same thoughts; however, he never pushed those dreams to the side. More likely, he would take care of any hard problem that was in between his legs. But, kissing you only made him throb harder. Especially now that he knows what your pussy felt like on his fingertips,Ā 
ā€œAgain ā€” I can take more,ā€ you whispered between kisses.Ā 
ā€œNeedy girl, you really want to?ā€ Steve asked, making sure this wasnā€™t a dream for him now.Ā 
ā€œMhm, yes, what if we slipped it in?ā€ your hand moved down his body and to the waistband of his pants. Without even stretching the fabric, you looked up at him with sweet eyes. ā€œWould it feel good too? Maybe just the tip?ā€Ā 
Fuck.Ā 
Steve needed to calm himself down. He was already on the verge of cumming in his pants, watching you orgasm on his sheets. Even now, as the remnants of your arousal covered his fingers, he wondered how it would feel against his hardness. But, Steve couldnā€™t do that to you now. Especially knowing the fact that it would be your first time. However, the lust that clouded your eyes as you pouted up at him, was convincing him slowly.Ā 
The conflict on Steveā€™s face was so apparent that you whispered: ā€œoh, we donā€™t need toā€”ā€
ā€œFuck, I want to,ā€ Steve kissed you sweetly. ā€œAre you sure, baby? Sure that you can take it all?ā€
ā€œYes, yes, I promise you that I can,ā€ you smiled up at him and then bit your lips out of a mixture of excitement and nervousness.Ā 
You kissed one another again, not being to stand the time your lips were apart from each otherā€™s. As you did so, Steve brought his hands under your sweater to nearly rip it off of you ā€” leaving you beautifully naked on his plaid sheets. His hands were calling to him, telling him that one day he needed to take a picture of you like this. But, there is going to be another time, surely. Right now, he wanted to satiate your bodyā€™s cravings. As you stared up at him and squeezed your thighs together, Steve was truly about to combust.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s kinda cold,ā€ you giggled as you stared down at your hardened nipples. Then, you sat up slightly to meet his lips again, but not without whispering close to his mouth. ā€œCan I take off your clothes too?ā€Ā 
With those words, Steve helped you take off his tight shirt and sweatpants. Youā€™ve been teasingly touching it throughout tonightā€™s escapades; however, seeing his hardness in all its glory, stunned you. It was a lot thicker and longer than you initially believed. In truth, there were countless moments where you had gotten a glimpse of his size. Like the times he invited you to his backyard to swim, and he always seemed to choose tighter swim shorts every week. Or the one time he forgot to bring a towel into the shower so you brought one to him, thinking that he was going to keep the shower curtain atop his body for some modesty; however, when you were on your way out the room, he let go of the plastic curtain a bit too early and you saw a definite outline from the side of your eyes. Every single time, no matter how crazy the situation may be, you felt warm all over your body. This time, however, seeing the way it hung and the precum leaking out of it, you were hypnotized to say the least.Ā 
ā€œOne sec, dove,ā€ Steve whispered as he saw that you were about to touch it. You looked to see that he bent his body to reach his nightstand and take out a little clear bottle.Ā 
ā€œWhat is that?ā€ You asked innocently as you began to stroke him while he wasnā€™t looking.Ā 
ā€œI-itā€™s ā€”Ā fuckĀ ā€” itā€™s lube. We could use a little if you wanted to,ā€ Steve said seriously before bringing a hand to your arousal and massaging your clit sweetly. ā€œNot sure if we will need much,ā€ he teased.Ā 
Steve kissed you again, having you lay down on the bed fully. He thrusted his hardness against your pussy a few times, seeing how you reacted to the feeling. You adored it, mewling every time the head of his cock coincided with your clit. In truth, you both could have been doing this for the rest of the night until you two came; however, you were throbbing around nothing and you craved to feel more stretched out than with Steveā€™s fingers.Ā 
You broke away from the kiss, eyeing the bottle of lube curiously, before Steve grabbed it and put it in your hands to look at closer. There were times you saw a similar bottle in the drug store and noticed they were next to the condoms and pregnancy tests. You saw that there were big bold letters on the front: ā€˜for her pleasure,ā€™ which confused you slightly. But, you decided to give it a try anyways ā€” it must be something good, you guessed.Ā 
ā€œLet's use a little, Steve.ā€Ā 
ā€œYeah, sure. You want me to put it on?ā€ He asked sweetly as he outstretched his hand.Ā 
ā€œN-no, I wanna try something,ā€ you smiled up at him before putting a dollop of the gel in your right hand. ā€œYouā€™re so big, Stevie. Youā€™re gonna stretch me out so good.ā€Ā 
Your words were hypnotizing the man above you as you circled your hand over his cock and stroked a few times. And to think that he believed that he was to be taking the lead tonight.Ā 
ā€œF-fuck, dove. Your hands are so soft.ā€ Steveā€™s moans were making you wetter by the second. You felt your heat throb harshly around nothing, before you moved your hips upwards a little and guided his cock into you.Ā 
Just the tipĀ ā€” you said the words before.Ā 
But, fuck, it felt so nice that you both needed so much more. Steve stayed still above you as he watched the way you move your hips to bounce on his cock from below. Inch by inch, you thrusted yourself upon his lube-covered hardness, causing moans to echo through the room as you got stretched out.Ā 
This was so much better than you both could have ever dreamed of.Ā 
ā€œSo hard,ā€ you whispered as you got in the last inch and took all of Steveā€™s cock in.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re taking me so well, dove. So fucking wet,ā€ he said as he kissed you and let you get used to the large size.Ā 
ā€œFeels nice.ā€Ā Ā 
ā€œTell me if you donā€™t like it,ā€ Steve whispered as he kissed your lips one last time before moving his mouth down your neck and finally thrusting his hips into you.Ā 
Everything seemed to amplify ten-fold. All of the pleasure, moans, tingling, stretching ā€” it all felt so nice. It was if you two were the only people in the world, with the sky changing from a navy blue to a bright orange. Sweet nothings were whispered into the air as you both wanted to give each other the poetic justice you deserved.Ā 
Steve kissed you every time he heard your moans get louder and louder, wanting to taste your ecstasy. He moved back and forth from kissing your lips, to your neck, to your breasts. It all made you grip his hair tightly no matter where he was focusing on your body.Ā 
ā€œKeep going please, Steve. Everything feels so full,ā€ you screamed incoherently.Ā Ā 
ā€œGod, you're throbbing around me. I donā€™t think I can take it.ā€ The man above you was thrusting into you at an increasingly faster pace, missing the feeling of your warm pussy every time he was even an inch out of you.Ā 
ā€œSteve, I wanna feel you cum,ā€ you whispered before grabbing his hair to have him stop sucking on your nipples in order to look at you.Ā 
He adored how needy you were. ā€œDirty little mouth, Princess.ā€Ā 
ā€œNeed more ā€” need you to go faster.ā€
ā€œYou know I've been dreaming about this moment time and time again. Who knew all it would take is a dirty novel, isnā€™t that right?ā€ Steve teased as he reached town and pinched your clit playfully.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™ll never regret driving me to the bookstore from now on,ā€ you giggled in between whimpers.
In truth, you didnā€™t notice the way you were moving yourself upwards to meet his thrusts. It made Steve bite his lip to stop himself from cumming inside of you prematurely.Ā  ā€œDove, you're taking me so well ā€”Ā fuckĀ ā€” better than Iā€™ve ever imagined,ā€ he moaned.Ā 
ā€œWhat have you imagined? What were we doing?ā€ you asked it so innocently, stroking his chest as he continued to thrust into you.Ā 
Where did you learn how to do that?Ā ā€” was what he really wanted to ask. Instead, his mind started to blurt out his fantasies.Ā 
ā€œSometimes Iā€™d have you like this: fucked out and cock drunk in the middle of the night. Other times it would be me bending you over while youā€™re studying. Always wearing those tiny skirts with the slit.ā€Ā 
ā€œFor you, I wear it for you. I know the yellow skirt is your favourite, isnā€™t it?ā€ You teased him now.Ā 
You always noticed the way he would ask you pick things up from the floor, mention that your shoes were untied while he was standing behind you, or the way he would always take off a piece of lint from the back of your skirt ā€” even if you had just used a lint roller on it a few moments before. He loved the way the fabric would sway, and you loved the way he looked at you. It made you feel so warm even on the windiest and coldest of days.Ā 
One thing was for certain, it definitely felt like such a tease in comparison to how your heart and body felt right now.Ā Ā 
ā€œYou little minx,ā€ Steve moaned as he thrusted into you faster.Ā 
ā€œDo you think I donā€™t imagine you ripping my skirt into a million pieces every time you stare at me?ā€ the words fell from your lips breathily while Steveā€™s pace increased more and more. ā€œYouā€™re not so good at recognizing mirrors in front of you when youā€™re staring at the back of my tiny skirt, huh?ā€
ā€œGod, you like it when Iā€™m being your perv, naughty girl,ā€ Steve stated.
ā€œMakes me feel nice. Just like this.ā€Ā 
Just then, Steve made sure that his thrusts and massages on your clit were working in tandem with the way your pussy was throbbing on his cock. He could tell with the way you were arching your back more and closing your eyes, that you were bound to orgasm soon. ā€œYouā€™re so beautiful, dove. So beautiful and taking me so well.ā€Ā Ā 
ā€œOh myā€”ā€ your voice sounded so sweet as you looked up at him with desperation in your eyes.Ā 
ā€œThatā€™s it, let it happen,ā€ Steve grunted, making sure to stop himself from cumming so that he could time it with yours.Ā Ā 
ā€œFaster, please,ā€ you nearly screamed now as everything was hitting you in all the perfect spots.Ā 
Steve took that as his sign to move faster: from his hands to his hips. He loved to see the way you were reaching your climax on his cock ā€” an image he would never get out of his mind for the rest of his life. You were squeezing his hardness tighter and tighter, with your moans getting louder in tandem. And so, Steve angled his cock upwards to try and hit your sweetest spot inside of you.Ā 
And he did.Ā 
Good god, he did.Ā 
ā€œThatā€™s it, thatā€™s my dove.ā€ He chanted over and over as you were shaking beneath him, orgasming harder than you did previously.Ā 
ā€œS-Steve, fuck.ā€ You rarely swear, but to know that he was the one to cause this little word to fall from lips with such grace ā€” it was the final straw for Steve.Ā 
He began to cum inside of you, your pussy milking him with each thrust. All of his arousal was filling you up to the point where it started to spill out and glisten all over your thighs. ā€œSo tight,ā€ he whimpered above you.Ā 
For a few moments, you both came down from your highs. With a few thrusts and kisses, you allowed your bodies and heart rates to calm down as one. It was beautiful and so bewitching to experience it all. You werenā€™t so sure what it would be like now. Being friends for so long meant that you both knew so much about each other. However, now, you two seemed to see a lot of each other too. There was no turning back to what it was before. Not after everything felt so good in this way.Ā 
You both looked into each otherā€™s eyes before kissing sweetly, enveloping each other in one last kiss before breaking apart under the morning sunā€™s rays.Ā 
ā€œYou are so beautiful,ā€ Steve whispered as he moved to lay next to you.Ā 
ā€œSo are you,ā€ you smiled while cuddling close to him.Ā 
ā€œAre you alright?ā€ He asked sweetly, kissing your forehead in the process.Ā 
ā€œYeah, I guess I feel a little sore,ā€ you giggled as you moved your head upwards to feel your lips on his again.Ā 
Steve gasped into the kiss, breaking it apart to get some tissues from his nightstand. ā€œDo you need a bath, some water, or food?ā€ He asked whilst wiping the remnants of his climax away on your thighs.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m fine, Steve, I promise.ā€ You smiled as he looked at you with the biggest hazel gaze.Ā 
Truthfully, you looked like a goddess glowing next to him with the dawn reflecting on your skin. He wasnā€™t sure if there were enough words in any dictionary to describe your beauty. Maybe not even from the book you were reading before bed. ā€œHow about you sleep for a bit and then when you wake up, Iā€™ll have all your favourite breakfast foods on the kitchen table?ā€ The offer was so tempting coming from Steveā€™s lips.Ā 
ā€œHmm, what if I want to help you?ā€ You giggled. You werenā€™t sure if you wanted to be separate from him for too long. The place in between your thighs was begging for his touch again. ā€œThere is a scene in that book where the prince and the lady were eating breakfast and thenā€”ā€
You stopped speaking when you saw Steve reach behind him to find the novel on his nightstand, before flipping pages in the book to see what you were talking about. ā€œMaybe you should read this story to me another day and I can help you every time you get really excited during a scene,ā€ he winked.Ā 
ā€œAnother day?ā€Ā 
ā€œYes, for now, we could get started on writing the beginning of our newest story, dove. If you would like to, of course.ā€ Steve whispered the words as he hovered his lips above yours, teasing you with each breath that tickled your skin.Ā 
ā€œIā€™d really, really love that,ā€ you smiled up at him, bringing your arms around his neck in the process.Ā 
If one thing was for certain after tonight: both of you found comfort and love in each otherā€™s arms ā€” and later on in a few different sections of the book store too.Ā

Any characters of your choosing, but how would some of the hsr characters act with a partner who loves physical touch but is too shy to initiate?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Argenti:
More then willing to initiate the physical contact if you were too shy to do so, after all it was the least he could do for you, and Argenti would do a lot for you without having to be asked.
ā€˜All you are to do is ask my beloved rose.ā€™ He says as he helps by gently guiding you into hugging him, smiling when you press yourself up against him and pressing your face into his chest.
ā€˜I just donā€™t want to make you uncomfortable.ā€™ Was your response and Argenti couldnā€™t help but chuckle as your thoughtfulness as he presses a kiss to your head.
ā€˜No such thing.ā€™ He says as he holds you against him as you both took this moment to indulge in the another. ā€˜Iā€™d very much rather you express yourself however you see fit, as Iā€™ll accept your love and affection in all itā€™s forms it may take because at the end of the day that love belongs to someone I love very dearly.ā€™ He finishes and you couldnā€™t help but burrow your head into his neck.
ā€˜Youā€™re too good for me sometimes.ā€™ You mutter against him as you felt him chuckle.
ā€˜I can say the same for you, my beloved flower.ā€™ Argenti replied. ā€˜Itā€™s hard not to when youā€™ve been nothing but a beacon of hope and love for me, even in my most dire of times. Your touch alone puts me back together again and makes me stronger then ever.ā€™ He adds as he feels you clinging onto him for dear life as he whispered in your ear to say;
ā€˜So please donā€™t be dissuaded from ever touching me when itā€™s brought me nothing but the happiest of emotions.ā€™
Blade:
Stays silent.
Will not move an inch.
He sees what youā€™re trying to do from the corner of his eyes, but wonā€™t do anything unless you have well and truly given up on trying to initiate contact. And it isnā€™t until then does he huff indignantly and grabs one of your hands and puts it against one side of his face, holding it there as he stared at you with his ruby red eyes.
ā€˜Was this what you were trying to do?ā€™ He asks despite already knowing the answer.
ā€˜I didnā€™t want you to feel as though you were pressured into to let me touch you solely because Iā€™m your partner.ā€™ You replied as you were about to pull your hand away from him, when you felt him tighten his grip on your hand. ā€˜Donā€™t you think I wouldā€™ve said something by now if I did?ā€™ He rebutted with a raised brow and you felt a little silly.
Blade never failed in letting it be known if you were doing something he didnā€™t quite like. He didnā€™t need to say much but his silence followed by a certain look in his eye were more than enough to tell you that youā€™d better stop while you were ahead.
ā€˜True.ā€™ You muttered as you instinctively began stroking his cheek with your thumb, not realising that Blade was pushing more of himself into your hand, much like a cat would when scratched between the ears and humming in content. He looked cute as he did handsome in that moment where his face looked the closest it ever could to peaceful in a long time.
ā€˜If it means anything, your touch is the least painful thing Iā€™ve experienced in my life as far as Iā€™m aware.ā€™ Blade says, finally letting go of your wrist as you placed your other against the side of his face and began stroking the skin there. You then heard him groan in content, a sound of which filled you with both warmth and joy in knowing that your touch helps him find peace, even if it was a small and temporary amount, but still peace none the less.
Aventurine:
Bastard man straight up teases you for being too shy to hold his hand.
ā€˜Hmm? Is someone too shy to even hold my hand? How devastating that must be for you.ā€™ Heā€™d say before grabbing your hand and pressing his palm against yours. ā€˜Itā€™s as easy as this.ā€™ He continues before intertwining his fingers with yours, pressing a kiss to the back of your hand for added effect.
ā€˜See? That wasnā€™t so bad was it?ā€™ He asked teasingly, throughly taking enjoyment in all this, when deep down he loved nothing more than to feel you holding his hand at long last. ā€˜Nope, not at all.ā€™ You replied, feeling your heart going a mile an hour when you felt him squeeze your hand, followed by the caress of his thumb against the back of your hand.
ā€˜Then donā€™t be afraid to hold my hand in the future, I donā€™t bite but Iā€™d think you would enjoy that a bit too much even if I did.ā€™ He teases, which was followed by boisterous laughter.
Aventurine may act like he wasnā€™t phased at all by your touch, when in reality he was begging for more but didnā€™t feel as though he was deserving of asking for such a thing. He may talk a big game but is equally as hesitant to physical affection as you were for the exact same reasonings.
He silently encourages your need to touch him by doing things that suggested that he wanted it just as badly as you, seeing as how words failed him in moments where heā€™s wanting something heā€™s made himself believe he couldnā€™t have. After all in his own eyes aventurine was a loser, a coward, a fraud, a cheater unworthy of any ounce of kindness nor love but the moment he felt you hold him, his mind goes blank and all he can focus on was his you hands held him as though he were porcelain.
It was his favourite feeling and whenever he sees you hesitating in giving him that oasis from his own mind, heā€™s quick in making himself believe that youā€™ve realised that he wasnā€™t worth your affection, and tries to force you into giving it to him by teasing you and guiding your hands to where he needed to feel your touch most; which was his face.
Aventurine may not admit it out load but he canā€™t fathom living without your touch, heā€™d probably go mad but for now heā€™ll keep a hold of your hand for the remainder of the day.

Finally getting help (pt 2)
This one actually is edited thanks to @basementqueercock! Thank you friend!
part 1 | Masterpost
-------
Vlad had been making a stink at the Gala about the Wayne brats taking his godson from him without his permission when the music suddenly cut out. Bruce Wayne himself stalked towards Vlad with an expression that was honestly a little intimidating, even if Vlad obviously wasnā€™t scared of such an empty headed pretty boy even if he was one of the richest and most influential people on the planet. He was Plasmius! He could take a rich pretty boy is he had to!
ā€œAh! Mr. Wayne, thank goodness! Your children have taken my Godson off somewhere! Iā€™m sure itā€™s just a harmless prank but heā€™s a bit fragile and unpredictable so I really think that it would be best if-ā€œ
ā€œIs he fragile and unpredictable because heā€™s pregnant and you knew?ā€ Bruce asked low and dangerous. Silence spread out around them, even though thereā€™s no way they could have heard they saw the look on Brucieā€™s face. He rarely got angry but when he did it was serious, when he did it usually meant someone had hurt a kid.
Vlad blanched for a moment, Danny had been so tight lipped about it, so unwilling to tell even those he trusted how did These people know?! ā€œWhat? What on earth are you talking about? Of course heā€™s not pregnant, I mean heā€™s a boy!ā€ Vlad huffed and Bruceā€™s jaw tightened even more somehow.
ā€œHeā€™s not leaving with you. Get out.ā€ He said low and menacing, then raised his voice. ā€œSorry to cut the party short everyone but something has come up, a situation that really needs my attention so Iā€™m going to have to put an end to the party early.ā€
ā€œWhat do you mean!? Heā€™s MY God son! MY heir! You canā€™t just keep him from me!ā€ Vlad said, he knew that his eyes were starting to glow a little red but he couldnā€™t help it. ā€œHeā€™s MINE! Return him to me or you will regret it I swear!ā€
ā€œSee him out.ā€ Bruce said dismissively to a handful of guards who had approached at the start of the commotion A lot of the socialites were already starting to see themselves out, now was not the time to argue, or even stick around when it looked like this might get physical.
ā€œI will be back! I will be back with lawyers and police and the bratā€™s parents,ā€ Vlad vowed but couldnā€™t risk fighting the guards any more than a usual old man would on the way out with so many eyes on him. Well he just needed to find a place alone. Then he could transform and come back, possess Bruce Wayne and make him do something heinous in public to ruin him for this.. this- this INDIGNITY!
-------
Bruce was having a hard time keeping his Batman expressions off his face as he saw that everyone was out of his house and he knew his children were having the same trouble. Dick looked like he was ready to bash someoneā€™s head in and Steph wasnā€™t that much better. Damian was standing by the door, seeing everyone out with frosty politeness that no one would mistake as genuine. Bruce felt just a little bad, it wasnā€™t anyoneā€™s fault what they had found tonight. No one else knew about the clearly abused teen they were currently harbouring, but none of the family could help it either. Bruce would send all the guests gift baskets once they could announce what was going on.
Alfred was on the phone with Bruceā€™s lawyers, sending them the mildly distorted audio from Dannyā€™s earlier conversation with Cas and Dick, and the footage from Vlad Masterā€™s outburst. That had the same sort of distortion over it too which was odd, heā€™d have to look into it. Cas had already informed him she thought Danny was a meta of some sort, maybe it was connected to that? Or maybe they were aliens? Though Danny being trans was currently the most plausible explanation for his pregnancy. Theyā€™d find out more later. What mattered was the footage of both of those would be enough for Bruce to get emergency custody while the family was investigated.Ā 
Tim was with Danny in the room Alfred had fixed for him, helping him settle in and lending him some clothes. Tim was the closest to Dannyā€™s age and also one of the calmer ones right now so he was in charge of trying to make Danny feel safe and comfortable while the family took up battle stations to deal with the legal and logistical elements of this.
Bruce made sure everyone was out, the perimeter was secure, and Oracle was at her computer watching the security feed for anything suspicious including the pattern of distortion Vlad and Danny seemed to emit. He wasnā€™t sure how paranoid he should be about all this, but heā€™d seen the way Vladā€™s eyes sparked red when he was angry and Batman was sure he was a lot more dangerous then he first seemed. And not just in the way that he was apparently willing to impregnate a boy young enough to be his son.
Finally he couldnā€™t avoid going to check on Danny anymore. Not that he was Really avoiding it, just that he knew this was going to be an exhausting and difficult conversation and he needed to brace himself for it. With every step towards Dannyā€™s new room he felt the weight gather on his shoulders of what this child must have been through.
He knocked, and let himself in. Immediately clocking the way Danny tensed at the sight of him. Of course a rich older man would set off his alarm bells. Bruce gave the softest smile he could and went to pull out the desk chair across from the bed Danny was sitting on, well out of arms reach so he wouldnā€™t seem like a threat as he sat down. He glanced at Tim who nodded and went and sat on the bed next to Danny. Solidarity, willing to stand up against Bruce if Danny needed it, safety.
ā€œHello Danny, itā€™s nice to meet you. My children told me a bit about.. your situation,ā€ Bruce said with a small grimace. ā€œWould you mind if I ask you some questions? I promise I wonā€™t judge you whatever you say, and I promise I am on your side. No matter what I will try to keep you safe okay? Just tell me the truth, itā€™ll help me do what needs to be done.ā€
ā€œAlright Mr. Wayne,ā€ Danny said, though he was still wary.
ā€œThank you, please call me Bruce. So first, whatā€™s your full name?ā€ he asked deciding to start super easy.
ā€œDaniel James Fenton,ā€ Danny replied softly.
ā€œYour parents names?ā€
ā€œDoctors Madeline and Jack Fenton,ā€ Huh the fact that he called his parents doctor like it was part of their name seemed to be significant though Bruce wasnā€™t sure exactly what it meant.
ā€œHow old are you?ā€
ā€œIā€™m 16,ā€ He said. A little older than he looked but still no where near old enough to have the weight of the world on his shoulders like he did.
ā€œAnd youā€™re pregnant?ā€ Bruce asked as gently as he could, Danny nodded. ā€œAnd youā€™re sure?ā€
ā€œYes,ā€ Danny said softly and Bruce nodded, licking his lips a little.
ā€œDid you take a test then?ā€ He asked and Danny grimaced making a so so motion.
ā€œItā€™s notā€¦ that simple,ā€ He said softly.
ā€œCan you explain it to me please?ā€ Bruce asked softly.
Danny took a deep breath and licked his lips, hesitating, opening his mouth to stat, hesitating again and biting his lip. Bruce stayed quiet as he watched the conflict on Dannyā€™s face. ā€œYou work with the justice league right?ā€ Danny asked suddenly which seemed like a bit of a non sequitur to Bruce but he needed. ā€œA bunch of the members arenā€™t human right?ā€ Ah, Bruce nodded again. ā€œAnd youā€™re okay with that?ā€
ā€œOf course I am Danny,ā€ Bruce promised, soft and reassuring. ā€œPeople donā€™t have to be human or from earth to be people. Whatever is going on with you youā€™re still a person, and a kid, and deserve to be protected.ā€
ā€œOkay,ā€ Danny said as he scrutinized Bruceā€™s body language for any sign that he was lying. ā€œOkay. Iā€™ve never been able to trust any adults with this shit but I canā€™t keep doing this on my own so okay. Iā€™m not human, not fully anyway, not anymore. These are..ā€ He touched his stomach. ā€œLike if you did an ultrasound you wouldnā€™t see embryos more likeā€¦ Hang on Here.ā€
Bruce blinked as Danny suddenly, reached Inside himself, and before he could panic Danny had pulled out a perfectly round object that filled his palm. It shimmered with light from within, cold and sparkling with stars. ā€œOur kind is more energy and light then anything else. This is Us, the mind, heart, everything we are is stored in our core the rest is formed around that. I mean for most of my kind, Iā€™m still half human.ā€ Danny said before replacing the orb inside him. ā€œI have two other little cores inside me right now, feeding on my energy to develop properly, you could see them on an Xray. I donā€™t know how long theyā€™ll take honestly.ā€ He sighed caressing his stomach again.
Ā ā€œBut I can feel them inside me, I can feel their worry when Iā€™m scared, and their joy when Iā€™m happy, and their love. Theyā€™re my babies.ā€ He said with the softest most paternal smile on his lips. The bags under his eyes were awful, he was clearly exhausted and stressed, but his expression told Bruce Danny thought it was all going to be worth it for his children. It brought a lump to his throat he had to clear before he could speak again.
ā€œOkay, do you have access to healthcare appropriate for your.. species?ā€ He asked and Danny nodded. Though he was tight lipped still.
ā€œThere are protections for non-human species in America you know,ā€ Tim said.
Bruce and Tim exchanged a confused look as Danny barked a laugh. ā€œNot for MY kind, we were specifically excluded,ā€ He said with a wry curl to his lips. ā€œThe shadow or echo left behind when a proper human dies, not sentient or sapient they say. Malicious and dangerous they say. To be captured or exterminated on sight. They would take me, experiment on me, probably put my babies in jars or something.ā€
Oh, oh fuck, he was shaking, eyes blank and glassy like he was heading towards a panic attack. ā€œDanny! Danny look at me,ā€ Bruce said as he leaned forward and Dannyā€™s gaze flicked up to his face. ā€œI donā€™t know who ā€˜theyā€™ are but I promise I will do everything in my power to make sure they donā€™t get you. Youā€™re clearly not what they say, and anyone who would hurt a child is not the good guy in this story.ā€
ā€œWho are they?ā€ Tim asked with an expression that promised swift and vicious retribution.
Danny took another deep breath. ā€œThe GIW, the Ghost Investigation Ward. Theyā€™re a government agency, theyā€™ve been hunting in my hometown for a while. Early on we tried to call the Justice Legue, but I think they were jamming the lines or something,ā€ Danny said looking down and biting his lip.
Fuck this poor kid really couldnā€™t catch a break! Bruce was sure that the ā€˜ghostsā€™ these idiots were hunting werenā€™t really anything of the sort, but he would look into this and see what he could find. Tim was clearly itching to as well bad he wasnā€™t willing to leave Danny alone with Bruce, good lad.
ā€œAnd what about your parents? Do you think you could be safely returned to their home?ā€ Bruce asked, as much as he wanted to keep Danny reunification was supposed to be the goal of fostering.
ā€œNo!ā€ Danny nearly yelped sitting up straight. ā€œNo! They work for the GIW! They design most of their weapons. If they ever found Iā€™d been contaminated- I donā€™t want to think the worst of them but even if they still recognized me as their son the babies-ā€œ He cut off, wrapping both his arms around his stomach and curling in on himself.
ā€œOkay, weā€™ll call child protective services, my lawyer, and the Justice League. Weā€™ll get to the bottom of this,ā€ Bruce promised Danny. ā€œAnd you can stay here as long as you need to. Is there any other family you would want to go to?ā€ Bruce asked, just to be sure, but he wasnā€™t surprised when Danny shook his head and grabbed a pillow to hug.
ā€œAnd I know Oracle and Red Robin will be itching to find out more about this ā€˜government agencyā€™,ā€ Tim said. ā€œI want to go tell them Danny, if Bruce and I go will you be okay on your own or do you want me to ask Cas to come stay with you?ā€
ā€œCas please? If sheā€™s not busy?ā€ Danny asked uncertainly and Tim nodded. Bruce was getting up before Danny spoke up again. ā€œI have a sister, Jazz. She knows about me not being fully human, but not about the babies. Sheā€™s a good person, and sheā€™s almost an adult. I donā€™t know, I just need you to know sheā€™s good, and I donā€™t want to mess things up for her,ā€ Danny said worriedly.
ā€œOf course Danny, thanks for letting me know,ā€ Bruce said with a smile already making plans to get her out as well. ā€œWeā€™ll let you know as soon as there are developments.ā€ He promised before both he and Tim ducked out. They split up, Tim going to find Cas and ask her to go back to Danny before they reconvened in the bat cave, they had a lot of research to do.

This request can go on the back burner, but an idea struck me with the force of a ton of bricks when I say your post about incel Gyutaro.
What about a little story where Gyutaro is trying to join a fraternity, to impress girls, and it's hazing time~ They make the pledges strip down to their boxers and wear blindfolds. The frat guys got a bunch of pretty girls together to write on their bodies with washable markers. Compliments or insults. The one with the most compliments from different girls joins tonight, and the one with the least has to walk home in his underwear. The others just get their clothes back and can stay at the party.
Reader is heartbroken by the amount of insults on Gyutaro's body with no compliments. So she puts on red lipstick and kisses all of his birthmarks! And writes in the lipstick. He's still losing, but he definitely won't mind as much anymore. Also, I feel like this is a mouthful if you don't wanna post my ask, itself, that's fine.
šˆš§šœšžš„ š†š²š®š­ššš«šØ š± š‘šžššššžš«
Tumblr media
ź’¦ź’·ā€§ā‚Š Summary Gyutaro thinks joining a fraternity will help him impress girls, but it results in him getting hazed and utterly humiliated. Though you end up making it all worth it. Maybe it did help him impress girls after all. ź’¦ź’·ā€§ā‚Š Content Gyutaro x female!reader, smut, MDNI, incel Gyutaro, college au, angst, humiliation, hazing, vaginal sex, creampie, premature ejaculation ź’¦ź’·ā€§ā‚Š Note 2.6k words. THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST ASK I'VE SEEN ALL YEAR. I KID YOU NOT - AS SOON AS I SAW THIS I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT EVERY MOMENT SINCE. This ended up being some of my best writing, thank you so much for this request ā™”
Tumblr media
You've seen some crazy shit since you've joined a sorority but nothing quite like this. It's nothing new that the fraternity guys on Greek row like holding strange events and wild parties. But you never thought they'd invite you and some of your fellow sorority members over to haze some rookies.
A line of almost naked men stand before you, blindfolded and in nothing but their boxers. You and the other girls are tasked with writing comments about their appearance on their bodies with a marker. Compliments or insults, both are encouraged.
Most of them just look like your everyday frat boy, with lots of them having abs and large muscles. The only one that stands out is the guy at the end. You can already tell he doesn't belong in this crowd by how pale he is. Not spending the summer drinking beers at the lake and getting a nice tan? Who the hell is this guy? He looks like the type that stays inside all day playing video games and watching hentai.
And that's not all - his body stands out in many other ways as well. He's really skinny and his hip bones protrude in an unnatural way. Not to mention the large ink-like birthmarks that are scattered across his body.
However, even though he looks different, you don't have a negative impression of him. All you thought when you first saw him was, "Huh, that guy doesn't look like the kind of guy to join a frat."
As you go down the line you write nice comments on each man's body, not having the heart to write anything negative and possibly hurt someone's feelings. You always felt bad for the guys that get hazed so you could never bring yourself to make it worse for them. However, when you get to the skinny guy, you are utterly shocked by what you see.
Littered all over his body are mean and cruel insults. You felt sick to your stomach as you read them.
"Disgusting"
"Freak"
"Incel"
"Virgin"
One girl even wrote, "Ew, why are you even here?" while another wrote, "I rather die than sleep with you lol."
You understand that he has an unconventional appearance but it certainly does not warrant all of these hateful comments. It breaks your heart to see that not even a single girl has said something nice about him.
You can't even imagine the amount of courage it must have taken him to stand up here like this. Only to get shot down and made fun of? You won't stand for it.
He flinches as he feels your delicate, manicured hands touch his chest. Then he feels something creamy and soft glide along his body, it feels different from the markers he's felt so far.
You decide to write some nice comments in your favorite red lipstick.
"So hot!"
"Cutie ;)"
But you feel like it isn't enough so you put a layer of the vibrant shade on your lips, then begin to kiss the birthmarks on his body.
His breath hitches and his face turns red when he feels you kiss him. Starting with his cheek and going all the way down to the mark on his hip. Everyone stares at you with confused faces as they watch you adore the "ugliest" guy in the lineup. But honestly, you don't care, you think he's hot as hell.
However, you feel like it's not enough so you write, "CALL ME!" in large letters on his chest followed by your phone number.
As all of the girls finish up leaving their comments for the guys, they are finally allowed to take off their blindfolds and read the messages on their bodies.
When he removes his blindfold you can't help but smile seeing how cute he is, and not to mention those beautiful blue eyes.
The self-proclaimed leader of the hazing committee, Tengen Uzui, reads the comments out loud.
Of course, the insults on Gyutaro's body sting. Especially since they are so harsh and he received a lot more than everyone else. But the bright red compliments are what's keeping him afloat. Almost making him not give a fuck about what any of the other girls had to say. Of course, there is a part of him that thinks this could be a cruel trick to get his hopes up. But honestly, after going so many years without a girl even looking in his direction, he can't help but get excited. After all, this is the first time he's ever gotten a girl's phone number.
He looks around the room, trying to see who the culprit could be. There are a few girls wearing red lipstick so he's not entirely sure who it could be.
"Looks like you'll be walking home, Gyutaro!" Tengen announced loudly, "And I'll be keeping these!" He laughs as he snatches Gyutaro's clothes - forcing him to walk home shamefully in nothing but his boxers.
He feels a wave of embarrassment wash over him as everyone stares and laughs. Just wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible, he nods and walks towards the door.
"Wait!" You shout as you run towards him, taking off your shirt and jeans. Once you're down to your bra and panties you say, "Let's go together."
His eyes widen as he looks you up and down, his face as red as a tomato. The party goes completely silent, the girls stare at you with confusion and a hint of disgust. While the guys stare at Gyutaro with envy, wishing that they were in his place.
"Well, come on," you say, breaking the silence.
Gyutaro gives you a shaky nod and opens the door for you, following you out.
Once outside the frat house, he really doesn't know what to say, at a complete loss for words. A half-naked girl is walking home with him right now, and not just any girl, you're a solid ten.
His perverted self may be too focused on your appearance right now, but a part of him does recognize how nice it was of you to do that for him so he didn't feel so embarrassed. You literally took off your clothes so you could endure his hazing punishment with him. No one's ever been so kind to him before - especially not a woman.
He keeps looking at your tits, trying not to be obvious about it but he can't help himself. He loves boobs!! He always has and he's never been so close to them before. Honestly, it's a miracle he isn't sporting a massive hard-on right now. The cold breeze hitting his exposed skin is the only thing keeping it at bay.
"Um... thanks," he rasps quietly, barely mustering the courage to speak to you at all, "What's your name?"
"Oh, my name's Y/N. And don't mention it," you smile, "No one deserves to be treated that way."
"... so you did it out of pity?" he frowns.
"Not at all! I-I didn't mean it like that!"
"Then what did you mean?"
"Well... I think you're really cute. Nerdy shy guys like you have always been my type," you express your feelings with a hint of embarrassment, "And just because you don't look like the other guys doesn't mean that warrants bullying."
Gyutaro blushes deeply, too shy and flattered to respond. So you continue.
"Don't join the frat, Gyutaro. You won't be happy there, they'll just make you an outcast because you're different. I really hope you change your mind about it." You hope your words won't offend him, but it's the honest truth. A guy like him doesn't belong in a frat and deep down he knows that.
Gyutaro hates everyone in that frat, he finds them annoying and idiotic. He only wanted to join in the first place because he's so desperate to get laid and he knows those types of guys pull chicks left and right.
"Alright, I won't join. But only if you have sex with me," he states with a confidence he hasn't had all night.
"Wh-what?!" You gasp, almost certain you must not have heard him correctly.
"I only wanted to join that stupid fraternity to get laid. You're the first girl that's ever been interested in me. So if you sleep with me then I'll know I can get laid without needing the frat."
At a loss for words, you stare at him with wide eyes as the two of you stand outside of his dorm building.
You're no saint, so sex isn't something you aren't used to. But you also wouldn't consider yourself the type to sleep with a guy you barely know either. This is still weird for you. But is it too weird for you?
Obviously not because you feel butterflies form in your stomach and a moistness develop in your panties as you think about it. He is really cute, and he does have a point. If you sleep with him maybe it will boost his confidence. And who knows, maybe after tonight you could get closer to him. Being a virgin and all, he doesn't seem like the type to just dip and skip.
"Ok, you have a deal," you smile shyly and take his hand, "This is your dorm building right?"
His jaw drops, not expecting you to have agreed. "Y-Yeah," he stutters.
"Let's hurry before anyone catches us!" Dragging him inside, the two of you sneak up to his room without being noticed.
Once inside you get clear confirmation that Gyutaro is the exact kind of guy you thought he was. Clothes and empty energy drink cans were strewn about his room. The air smells like a mix of body odor and G Fuel. On his desk is a nice looking PC gaming setup. Equip with neon lights and an RTX 3090. And you aren't surprised to see a bottle of lotion on his desk. And beside it is an nsfw figurine of some anime character that looks vaguely similar to you. Maybe you are his type after all.
Gyutaro doesn't bother cleaning up or even apologizing for the mess, it's like he doesn't even care. He just turns on some colored lights and sits on the bed. Now that he's out of the cold and inside the comfort of his own dorm, you can see his erection quickly growing under his boxers.
"Well? Don't tell me you're gonna chicken out now," he scowls.
"No! I'm not chickening out! I'm actually really excited..." you sit beside him and caress his thigh.
Immediately you can see his member twitch beneath the thin fabric of his boxers. He had this nonchalant act going on, but now it's crumbling down and he's a complete mess.
"C-Can I touch them?" he mutters as he stares down at your chest.
"Sure, let me help you," you say as you unhook your bra and throw it to the side. His eyes widen and he has to stop himself from drooling.
Like instinct, his hands go to your breasts and he starts feeling and playing with them. It's obvious he's never done this before because his hands are shaky and he's handling them roughly. But he's just so excited!
"Woah," he says in awe, "These are awesome..."
Even though he's a bit rough and inexperienced, it still feels good. The way his bony fingers squeeze and prod, along with how he runs his fingers over your nipples with curiosity.
"Gyutaro..." you whisper as you caress his cheek and pull him closer, "Come here." Pulling him into a heated kiss, it's obvious he doesn't know what to do. But you try your best to guide him.
He whimpers into the kiss as you slide your tongue into his mouth. He tries to reciprocate but he's quite sloppy.
Despite that, it still sends him to cloud nine. Not only is this his first kiss but he also gets to touch tits at the same time. It's so overwhelming for him that he feels like he's already going to cum.
Hastily shoving his hand down his boxers, he grabs the base of his cock and squeezes tightly - desperately trying to stop himself from cumming. He pulls away from the kiss and says, "T-Take off your panties, I-I wanna fuck you already."
With a devious smirk, you spread your legs as you remove your panties, showing him how wet you are. Gyutaro gulps, staring at you like a starving animal.
"I'm ready for you, Gyu," you coo as you lay on your back, completely submitting to him.
"Wait um... can we try doggy style?"
You're kind of surprised by his request but you don't mind so you flip over and get on your hands and knees.
Gyutaro would actually love to watch your face contort as he fucks you, but he chose doggy style because he doesn't want you to see him while he does it. Even after everything you've said to him his insecurities are still there. And a part of him fears that if you see his dick then you'll change your mind about this. He's not the biggest, but he definitely isn't small either. The size is actually really nice, but he's so insecure that he can't see that. But the worst part is the birthmarks, he feels like his dick looks like he has some type of venereal disease even though he doesn't. So he figures it'd be best if you just didn't see it at all.
Once you're in the doggy position he feels comfortable enough to pull down his boxers. You feel the sticky, leaking tip nudge against you as he positions himself.
His brows furrow in frustration as he tries to find the right spot, his inexperience showing.
"Here, let me help you," you say in a sweet tone as to not upset him or sound judgmental. Though he's still a bit embarrassed anyway.
Reaching between your legs, you grasp his shaft and gently guide him inside of you. Once he's an inch or two inside, he gets too excited and fully thrusts forward. Jolting his needy cock into your gummy walls. You yelp in response while Gyutaro moans loudly.
"F-Fuck... ngh Y/N, you feel so goddamn good," he groans in pleasure as he tightens his grasp on your hips.
After a moment of stillness, he starts thrusting when he feels like he won't cum immediately. But it's not long before that sensation comes back.
Only after a few thrusts, do you feel a warmth spread inside of you as you feel Gyutaro's thighs begin to shake.
"Did you- did you cum?" Surprised, you look back at him to see the blissful expression on his face.
But your words quickly snap him out of it, "Shit... m'sorry," he pants, obviously feeling ashamed and embarrassed, "I-I didn't mean to cum so fast."
He quickly shoves his dick back in his boxers, trying to hide his shame as he hangs his head and refuses to look you in the eye. The only chance he got to have sex, he ruined it by cumming too fast like the incel that everyone says he is. He looks down at the writing on his body, starting to feel like all of those insults from earlier are justified.
Seeing the shift in his mood, you quickly put your panties back on and hug him. "Hey it's ok, it was your first time. That just means we'll have to do it more so you can get used to it."
"R-Really? You don't think I'm pathetic...?" he whimpers in disbelief.
"Of course not, I still had a lot of fun," you smile and kiss his cheek, "Maybe I can stay the night and we can try again in the morning."
"I'd fucking love that."
