The phone rings. Once. Twice. Thrice⌠and Gojo Satoru found himself contemplating hanging up, yet just as the thought formed, you answered, on the sixth ring.
"Hello," your voice emerged painfully neutral.
He couldnât tell if nowâs a good time. He hears some background music, akin to the subdued chatter of a small crowd, as though you were in a cafĂŠ of some sort. He thinks, noâ he knows this a bad idea, but the words tumble out of his mouth anyway. âHey, itâs me Gojo Satoru.â
"Yes, I know, Satoru," you replied with tint of slight irritation
You didnât delete his number. At least this is a hopeful start.
âHappy birthday,â he said. âI know I'm a few hours late. I'm sorry.â
"Thanks... you don't have to apologise," you replied, your tone truly void of any accusation. Right, he thinks, itâs not his place.
âI know, but I still feel sorry,â he confesses. âI feel bad.â
âOkay,â you respond flatly, and thereâs a pause that extends into almost a minute of full silence before you speak up again, âIs that what you called me for? To wish me?â
âYes,â he says.
âOkay,â you say, letting a pause mull over you. âIâll get going then. It was nice talking to you.â you say.
âIâ I forgot your birthday. I only remembered it a few minutes before,â he adds, his words flowing out a bit hastily just in case you cut the call on him,l. It would pull the plug on him forever, leaving him breathing heavy and heavy until heâs left alone to drift away in the dark.
"Uh, okay," you responded, sounding confused.
"I mean, I hated that," he continued, his words flowing in an anxious succession. "I hated seeing you become this... this person I used to know. Whose birthday I couldn't even remember. I used to be the first to wish you, every day for years. Do you remember that?â he asks. âI miss that."
âYeah, I remember," you murmur softly. You remember it. But in your recollection, what emotions dwell? Do you remember it with a sense of fondness? Do you remember it with sadness? Or did you remember it as a cautionary tale? He couldnât tell.
âI miss that,â he repeats because his words are limited and heâs scared of saying anything more but heâs more scared of saying nothing ever again.
A beat passes by, and he stays still in his seat, holding his breath for nothing in particular.
âMe too,â your voice comes out. It doesnât sound like a confession, itâs the one thing he liked about you â how your confessions came out of your mouth like indisputable facts. I like your smile. I like your eyes. I like you. I love you. These sentences didnât seem like a confession; you would say it and he would know for it to be as true as the moon in the sky.
He smiles, âHow did you celebrate?â
You sighed, "Not much. Dinner with the family, drinks with some friends, and now I'm heading back home."
"It's only 11 pm," he chuckled, as though he wouldn't be in bed by 9 himself.
âYeah," you chuckled in return. "Guess some things have changed."
âNot really, you were still a bit of a grandma back then,â he teased.
âI was not!â you protested. You were not.
"There's no shame in that," he reassured, well loving and accepting of your homebody nature.
âThereâs an hour left,â you say all too suddenly, interjecting him into a pause.
âAn hour?" he spoke up, puzzled.
"Of my birthday," you clarified.
"Right," he responded, uncertain where this was leading.
âWell, you can always make it up to me.â
âMake what up?â he asked.
âNot wishing me,â you specified. âThere's still another hour left.â
A smile crept onto Gojo's face, and he was already reaching for his car keys as swiftly as your words had emerged from your lips.

Arranged marriage! Itachi x reader
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Contains: teeny tiny bit of angst that turned into a lot, fluff, nicer Itachi, hurt to comfort, mentions of itachi's illness.
Part 2 to this
What was that incessant pain? Y/N groans as she awakes from her slumber groggily. Her hands fly to the aching spot, her neck, which was strained from sleeping in such an odd position. Why exactly am I sleeping on the floor she thought but grimaces soon after, as she remembers what happened. She had fallen asleep crying, all thanks to Itachi.
She scowls as she remembers his cruel words and the awful sensation of the genjustsu he had trapped her in, what exactly did she do to deserve that? All that just because she tried to make their relationship civil. She hisses in pain as she gets up from her spot on the floor, her sore limbs cracking and groaning in protest. She could feel the stinging sensation of dried tears on her cheeks and the inevitable puffiness of her face. Above all she felt this immense sadness, she thought he would at least come in to check on her or apologise but he didn't, what a jerk.
The shuffling in the bedroom alerts Itachi that she's awake. He planned to go in earlier but decided against it after hearing how hard she she was crying, the last thing she needed was to see his face. Now however, he had no more excuses to not apologise. He slowly approaches the bedroom, his heart thumping in his chest. What if she tells her grandfather about this? What if Hiruzen decides to cancel their deal and go ahead with the execution of the Uchiha because of this? He couldn't believe he let his emotions get the best of him like this, the Uchiha could be dead by tonight thanks to him.
Knock knock. He knows twice on the door, his mind still racing with thoughts. He needed to make her forget about this whole thing one way or the other, the future of the clan, of his little brother depended on it.
Knock knock. Perhaps he should just be friendly with her, that was what she wanted after all. Maybe if he gave her what she wanted then she wouldn't tell on him. Itachi cringed at his internal monologue, he really let things spin out of control. He felt like he was eight years old again, trying to convince sasuke not to tell on him to their parents by bribing him with attention and piggyback rides. Humiliating
Knock kno- The door swings open revealing an angry Y/N, her eyes were puffy and red, her cheeks stained with dry tears. Itachi's heart sinks at the sight and he doesn't even know why. He absolutely did not want to take it this far, he hadn't meant to hurt her like this. "Y/N..."
She stares at him, as if trying to convey her emotions with her eyes, her eyes that were filled with pain and resentment, towards him. He slowly backs her into the room, shutting the door behind them. He hesitantly grabs her hand and leads her over to the bed, sitting her down gently. He can sense the hesitation in her, it's almost as if she's scared of him now, he sighs, he really messed up.
"I am sorry Y/N. My actions were....unbecoming of someone of my status, much less as your husband". She keeps her head turned a way from him petutantly, he was joking if he thought that was all it was going to take to obtain her forgiveness. She fake sniffles, deciding to punish him, hoping to give him 1/10th of the torment he put her through.
Itachi panicks as he hears her sniffle, before he can stop himself his hand are moving to wipe her 'tears'. They both stare at each other in shock at itachi's very unusual display of affection, he quickly withdraws his hands, clearing his throat as he tries to dispel the now akward atmosphere. "I understand the severity of what I did and while I know I don't deserve your forgiveness, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to earn it" he has to force the words out of his throat, reminding himself he was doing this for his clan's sake.
She looks at him in skepticism, not believing a damn word he's saying. She wasn't stupid, she knew he was only apologising because he didn't want her to tell on him. Her chest twisted as she took in the fact that he didn't even value her emotions, she sighs as she turns further away from him, she wished he would just get out.
The next few moments were like slow motion, one minute she was getting ready to tell him to leave, the next minute she felt him wrap his arms around her. What. The. Heck. She blinked rapidly in surprise as she did a double take, Itachi was indeed hugging her! And....she couldn't say it felt bad. Maybe it was the fatigue, maybe it was the emotional trauma but she let herself relax into him. He was warm and smelt like a rainy day.
Itachi let out a breath as he felt her relax into his touch, he knew he had to show her he was sorry not just say it. It felt strange, all his instincts were screaming at him not to do this, he knew he had started to fall down a bottomless hole, surely he couldn't be falling for her. But would that be so wrong? His whole life he had trained himself like a machine, deliberately preventing himself from getting attached to anyone because the truth was, he couldn't. His health put a ticking time bomb on his life and he knew it was only a matter of time before he would succumb to sickness. He couldn't do this to her, he couldn't let her fall in love with him and then leave her but despite the storm raging in his mind, he felt himself pulling her closer. He held her tight as he breathed in the scent of her hair, he felt all his defenses crumbling and for once, he decided to let it happen. He would let himself this one selfish thing before he eventually met his demise, he would let himself love.
Months go by and true to his resolution, Itachi let himself grow closer to Y/N. They grew accustomed to each other's company, slept in the same bed and even called eachother pet names, Itachi's favourite for her being 'flower'.
Yet deep in his heart, he knew this was wrong. He knew he was doing a terrible thing, letting her love him knowing he could die at any moment, he shook his head trying to clear his thoughts as he waited on the living couch. The sky outside was painted beautifully with hues of orange and pink as the sun set. It was 6:28pm, much longer than when she was supposed to be home from work.
On a normal day, Itachi wouldn't even be home by this time but since he had no missions today, he decided to relax. His relaxation was cut short however, when he realized his wife wasn't back home the time she was supposed to be. Y/N was never really late on the days he was home, she was always home by 5 or a few minutes after. He was starting to get worried, was she ok? Did something happen?.
His thoughts were cut short as she pushed through the living room door "Hi Tachi, sorry I'm home late" she greets with a tight smile. Itachi was up on his feet immediately, something was wrong, her hair was disheveled and she looked shaken, not to mention that fake smile she just tried to fool him with. "flower, what happened?"
Her eyes widen as she hears his question, she shakes her head as she tries to push past him, "nothing I'm fine" Itachi blocks her path as he observes her with worry, he squints as he notices her hiding her left arm behind her back. "What are you doing? What happend to your hand" he asks trying to grab her hand, his eyes widen in shock as she jerks it back almost immediately, stumbling away from him. "N-nothing! I already told you" Itachi frowns as he watches her lie and move away from him "No more games Y/N let me see your hand" "It's fine Tachi, really!".
He scoffs as he approaches her slowly, determined to find out what's wrong with her. "I said I'm fine" she argues bringing her right hand to his chest to shove him away but Itachi uses the opening to grab the hand on his chest and yank her forward. She yelps as she stumbles into him, instinctively bringing out her left hand to balance herself. Itachi sees this and finally grabs the hand she had been hiding, bringing it up to his face to inspect it.
His eyes widen as he takes in the hand, her knuckles are busted, blood caking the skin. Her usually smooth skin is littered with cut and bruises. "What the hell Y/N! What is this??" "I-I fell" "cut the bullshit! Tell me what happened now damnit!" Itachi pleads, his chest tightening as he takes in her injured fist "please...."
She sighs as she takes in the distraught look on his face, she hated when he worried about her.
"My boss came in to work drunk today..." she starts, Itachi nods listening intently as he cradles her bruised fist in his larger one, gently caressing the flesh. "He started making a scene and yelling at eveyone, we had no idea what to do and we couldn't exactly call the police on him. Then he approached me.....he started telling me I was the worst worker here and that i was only in my position because of ji-chan. He called me names too, then he...." she stops her face contorting in discomfort.
"Then he what?" Itachi urges, moving his hand to rub her shoulder comfortignly. She takes a deep breath "......Then he touched me".
"..............."
".............."
"..........he did what?"

eyes (on you)
// Yandere Moze
sum: Moze has always been someone trustworthy and kind to you.
wc: 751
warnings: probably OOC moze
a/n: moze would do so well as a closet pervert tbh
likes & reblogs appreciated :)
Lately, you havenât felt so safe.
You canât recall exactly when it started, only that when it did, it never stopped. Every time you step into your own home, every moment you spend in your own home, the uneasy feeling of your every move being watched sends shivers down your spine.
Youâre constantly afraid of something, always anxious and paranoid. Even outside your home, the eerie feeling of someoneâs eyes upon you, following you. How long has it been since youâve felt safe?
//
Youâve known Moze since Feixiao first âtook him inâ, if one could even really call it that. As her assistant in all matters pertaining to paperwork, youâve had the joy and displeasure of working with all kinds of people. Moze is among those with more⌠unique circumstances to say the least.
Initially, you were wary of him. Who wouldnât be, when one of your first impressions of him was attempting to land a killing blow on her? Gradually however, you both started to warm up to each other; even unexpectedly becoming close. He started to appear more often, although hardly speaking, but you didnât mind. The comfortable silence was enough for you.
So, it was only natural that when everything started to get overwhelming, you confided in him. If there was anyone you could trust, Moze would be at the top of the list.
âMoze, can I⌠tell you something?â You hesitantly ask, your eyes staring at the official document on your desk. You feel your palms grow sweaty, the pen in your hand all of a sudden weighing a ton.
ââŚIf you want to.â He says simply, but youâve known him long enough to hear that slight tinge of concern in his voice.
âRecently⌠Iâve started feeling watched in my own home.â You confess, laying down your pen. You still dare not to look up to him. âTheyâre - theyâre always watching me. In my kitchen⌠in my bedroom⌠even my bathroom⌠and I donât know how to stop it. I feel it outside too, only except when Iâm at work; but Iâm constantly paranoid and anxious, and now I feel tired all the time. Moze, what can I do?â
Heâs silent for a while, and just as you start to wonder if youâve said too much, that heâs uncomfortable with the information dump, you feel his hand on your shoulder in a silent understanding.
âIâm sorry. I donât know how to help.â He apologises. âBut⌠Iâm always here for you, if you want to talk.â
âThank you, Moze.â For the first time in months, you feel relief. You feel safe.
//
Moze is a master at blending into the shadows, and masking his existence. He walks with trained silence, concealing his breath, never making a sound louder than necessary. Moze knows, better than anyone, how easy it can be to intrude into someoneâs home.
His violet eyes watch your figure intensely, barely blinking. He wishes not to waste even a fraction of a second looking at anything that isnât you. You, just coming out of the shower in your nightwear, holding your towel to your chest and anxiously darting your eyes back and forth to find the watchful eyes stalking your every move. It is with the same caution you slip into bed with, twice ensuring your windows were locked and the curtains were tightly drawn closed; but it was to no avail, because the culprit was in your home.
He waits, just like he always does, for your breathing to calm, for you to fall to the temptation of slumber. He hovers over you with a blank expression on his face, the silver guards on his fingers gently caressing your cheek. He wants to kiss you - and so he does, leaning down with his mask lowered, his lips meeting yours in an unreciprocated kiss.
Moze pulls away quickly and places his mask back in place, but even it canât stop the warmth that pools at his cheeks and the electricity running through his whole body. With a hazy mind, he makes his way over to your clothes, and runs his hands across each fabric. They instinctively stop atop a pair of underwear, soft and delicate, and most of all, smelling like you. This time, heâs unable to stop himself, and pockets the panty. With one last look at your slumbering figure, he takes his leave.
When you run to him in tears the next day, distraught and paranoid, he canât find it in himself to be guilty.

____________________________________________
a/n : I LOVE YOU KIMICJ the man you are đŁ school au, ooc, kms joke once or twice kunikuzushi is scaramouche or wanderer...
[ m. kinich x fem reader ]
____________________________________________
" that's the exchange student? " you hear whispers and whatnots around you as you walk towards your classroom. books in your arms since the teacher asked you to pick it up, first thing in the morning before heading to class.
" morning y/n, " xiao greets you as he shoves the students blocking the path inside the classroom, holding the door for you to go in, as you smiled and thank him. placing the books on your teacher's desk as you made your way over to your seat, kinich takes the empty seat next to yours.
it's a wonder, your class is so lucky to be hosting the exchange student. thank you aether for being the student exchanged in your class. you silently thank the archons and of course your dearest classmate for such exchange, heck if he's staying over forever in kinich's school and kinich stays here forever, even better! you get to admire the pretty man by your side and the one behind you is xiao. he sighs as he stares out the window.
when lunch starts, you can't help but want to ask the exchange student to eat with you. well he is new and everyone will probably go to their own friend group and chat lunch away. what you should obviously expect was the people crowding around him, asking to go with them.
xiao taps you from behind as you silently nod, determine to take kinich with you than the randos.
" hey malipo- " you whisper shout from your seat as he quickly turns his attention to you.
" kinich is fine, " he cuts you as you flush red.
" um yeah k-kinich, wanna come with me and xiao? we'll eat on the roof and well... it's quieter there. " you lean over and whisper. he gets up and apologised to the people around, telling them he wants peace and quiet and well, to say the least they obliged and left him. he follows you and xiao quietly up to the roof.
you were right, it was a lot quieter. only you guys being there, being on the roof definitely has it perks. he could see the outside of the school, there's a basketball court and he spots a red and white hair guy, definitely shorter playing the game with an indigo bowl cut hair who even had a different uniform. he's not an exchange student like him, is he? he was certain only five from his school was here and was not told any other school would be here too.
" oh! kazuha is playing with the kid from the school directly opposite us! " you gush as xiao turns to look out.
" yeah that's kunikuzushi, " kinich sits next to you, opposite xiao. you peered over when he opens his lunch box.
" what a cute bento, " you mumbled out loud, flushing once more when both males stared at you.
" my classmate made it, we're staying in the same host family, " he says as you can't help but get interested.
" that's really cute, you guys must be pretty close huh? xiao over here is my childhood friend, kazuha was in the same class as us back in first year. also I bought cookies so you both better eat up! " you shove the bag in the center.
" tasty as ever, " xiao compliments as you flash him a smile, the smile that sends his heart beating a mile a minute.
" it's good, " kinich compliments after. your pride eating at you.
" there's a little something on you, " you point at the corner of your lips as xiao looks confused at you.
" here let me just- " you swipe your hand over xiaos cheek, dusting the cookie crump off.
the bell rings after leaving you to internally scream. back to hell. class went by pretty quickly, you tried to pass paper messages to xiao and you barely got any replies back.
" hey are you doing anything after school? " you ask kinich, walking him to the shoe locker with xiao behind you.
" I don't have anything, " he responded. you look over xiao, he gives you a nod as you internally cheered.
" let's go to this cafe! me and xiao always go there whenever we're free and well it's my work place too so feel free to come whenever you want, heck please bring that classmates of yours too! I'd definitely love to meet them and- " yapping till you were out of the school gates you weren't expecting someone to whistle at you.
you stopped and stared at the source of the sound, it was coming from the road directly across you. you sigh when you see who it is.
" heyyy y/n! " sethos called you over as kunikuzushi glared at the man.
you waved as xiao quickly grabs your hand and push it back down. you look at him as he shakes his head no.
" hey I know they're from our quote on quote rival school but it's rude to not greet back, you know. " you whisper scolded, jabbing him with a finger playfully.
from kunikuzushi point of view, you looked so adorable with a hand to your waist as you scolded your little childhood friend. wait WHAT!?! he aggressively shook his head as sethos stared at him cheekily.
" listen up pipsqueak! " kunikuzushi starts only to earn a slap from behind, he scowl and turn quickly to look at the perpetrator. it was lumine, she glared daggers at him as she scolded him for calling whoever he was calling a "pipsqueak". you waved sethos a goodbye before walking away with kinich and xiao.
--
" what's his problem? " xiao mumbles as he takes a seat opposite you in the booth. you can't help but giggle, kinich by xiaos side feeling confused. there's definitely more to this rival school going on.
" y/n! you're here, " your fellow colleague greets whipping out her small notebook to take your order.
" helloo, " you greet with your signature smile.
" anything catches your eyes? " you ask kinich who was flipping through the menu, xiao points at one as his eyes follow his finger.
" um, I'll get the kitty parfait. " he says shyly.
" haha three kitty parfait then, " your colleague obliges and within minutes the parfaits came. your colleagues even added a matcha tea, lemon tea and coca cola. guessing everyone's preferred drink right.
" mind if I take a picture? " kinich asks as he pulls out his phone, you quickly said yes.
" hey get a picture of us too~ here give me your phone, " you show him your palm as he placed his phone on.
you turn the phone camera to selfie mode, aiming it so that the food can be seen and both xiao and kinich faces were in. throwing on a peace sign as xiao and kinich followed along.
you three ate your treats, talking about everything and anything. kinich has a pet named ajaw, he can get pretty aggressive but he's a sweet thing. pulling up videos and pictures of said pet. xiao also shares embarrassing stories of you in between. kinich couldn't help but laugh at certain parts of the story. leaving you fuming at your friend. kinich finds it adorable when you pout.
" well we should get going. I'll walk you home y/n, " xiao starts as you stared back at him, sighing when he tilts his head to the side.
" did something happened at home? " kinich question as you laugh at the bitter thought.
" it's fine really, " you force a smile as you stand up. bidding your colleagues and the boys follow behind. whispering to each other. you can't be bothered to know what they're talking about, having an internal battle on what might possibly happen at home. you had a fight with your brother after he told you his partner of five years was a homewrecker and he didn't do anything or defend himself when his partner started talking shii about his family.
" this is it, bye bye " you sounded so sad when you wave them goodbye, closing the door behind before they could say anything else.
kinich and xiao looks at each other before making their way over the nearby bench around the area.
" yeah something is definitely up, " kinich mumbles as xiao looks at him, slouched over the bench.
" you like them don't you? " he smirks.
" wha-what are you talking about? " kinich sweatdrops.
" aaah, we'll just leave it till tomorrow then. you know your way around the area or do you need me to walk you back too? " xiao teased leaving the dark hair male to laugh.
" I know how to get home, thanks. " he bids xiao goodbye as they both made their way home.
--
" fancy seeing you here, " kunikuzushi starts as you look over your shoulder and place the glass you were wiping down. it's a Saturday, no school. your work decided to come up with a little small event to promote the best selling kitty parfait. you blush and immediately hide yourself behind the counter, you're wearing a maid dress and kitty ears!
" hey now, aren't you going to serve me? " he teased as you stand up, you're the only worker right now. the next one will come in an hour.
" how'd you know I'm working here?! " you scold as he smiles.
" hey hey, I've got a little recommendation from the principal of the school but that doesn't matter, " he mumbles the last part turning back to stare at your eyes.
" I've been wanting to come here! so many people in school has been talking about it. even that smart ass alhaitham has been here not once but twice, " he raised two fingers as you grab his fingers, squeezing it hard as he lets out a playful scream.
" is this the person you've been talking about? kinich, " you quickly looked over kunikuzushi as he followed your line of view. you blush when you saw kinich in his casual wear. he is so handsome, charming and so much beautiful words you can't think of right now but he's just so drop dead gorgeous. he had his headband on his forehead, black t-shirt on and you can't admit it but his arms.
" please kill me kunikuzushi, hat guy, wanderer " you whisper as you shake him by his shoulder.
" hey must you bring up that stupid nickname and even the game name I used. " he sighs at your dramatic antics. he doesn't fail to notice your growing blush. you looked adorable if only it was for him.
" wha-what would you like to have today? kinich and beautiful girl, " you cry internally is that his girlfriend, you shove kunikuzushi aside as she points at the chocolate cake. just then your phone rings, you excused yourself as you quickly picked up the call. trying not to kill yourself when your boss tells you, you'll be working the full shift alone since your work partner had something going on. well its not so bad doing a full shift alone especially when the sun's setting down and well the customers just adore you the most.
you place your phone down, biding your boss an okay and goodbye as you look over kunikuzushi who was just playing with the jewelleries around his fingers and neck.
you cleared your throat as you beam back at them, right you're so good at faking smiles even kunikuzushi and xiao have a hard time figuring out which is fake and which isn't.
" so one chocolate cake? is there anything else? " you tap the order in the cash register screen as kinich finishes the order with " the same kitty parfait we ordered and two colas would be nice. "
you thanked them for ordering and tell them to take a seat, even rejecting his money because he's an honoured guest along with the girl he was with. assuring him it's on the house, kunikuzushi looked over the cash register area, picking up some of the memo notes you were writing down. one definitely caught his interests as you worked on their orders. quickly finished the final touches, making it as pretty and perfect. you walk over to their table. smiling at them when you approach, telling them to enjoy before you could return back to the register you hear kunikuzushi shout, " hey aren't you missing something? "
you glared at the man before turning back to the "couple" .
" I'll give you some blessings okay? make it delicious, " you form a heart with your fingers, moving it around your fingers as you shut your eyes tight.
" moe moe kyun~ "
to say the least, all you hear was kunikuzushi loud laughter as you rush back over to him.
" tell me your order now. " you demand as he sniffles back a laugh.
" o-one kitty parfait, the strawberry one. " your heart drops. keying in the order and bringing it to the man. why did he pick the seat opposite kinich, one where they can make eye contact.
" hey don't forget your magical blessing, " he flashed you a smile as you glared at him.
" make it delicious, " you say between gritted teeth, " moe moe kyun~ " just as you're about to walk away he grabs your hand. you turn to look at him stunned.
" there's no customers right now, so you can definitely fulfill my customer request right? as stated in the memo, " he grinned as you stared, flushing when you remember the event lines.
' obliged to the customer wishes, eg feeding them as long as its nothing super dangerous, do it '
" feed me. " you quickly take a seat opposite him, your kitty ears pressing against your head. the kitty ears, you scream. you looked so adorable you didn't notice the quick flash from his phone. your kitty ears pressed on your head as you flushed red, eyes squeeze tight as you grab his spoon.
" open up, " you place the spoon full of whipped cream and strawberry jam infront of his face, your other hand hovering under his chin to catch whatever mess he could possibly make.
" so how's school, " he tries to make small talk as you continue to feed him. just as you're about to give a response, you accidentally push the spoon filled parfait into his mouth, the whipped cream hitting the corner of his lips. you can't help but wipe the corner of his lips with your finger, forced habit from xiao, and the opportunity to tease the lingering eyes on him, he grab your finger. bringing it to his mouth to lick the whip cream.
you blush at his action as the kitty ears pressed against your head again, your tail swishing from side to side. yeah you're definitely not wearing this set of cat stuff again! thank goodness there was a normal version somewhere. you didn't expect people you know to come and you could've gotten out of work the following hour when kunikuzushi came. ugh the co-worker!!!
" hey y/n, " kinich calls over to you as you look back, your face flush red as kinich can't help but blush at your appearance. your cat ears and your flushing face.
you hand kunikuzushi back the spoon as you ruffled his hair for revenge, as he quickly brings a hand to your cheek, giving it a squeeze before you walk over to kinich's booth.
" yes? " you exhale slowly, trying to calm your racing heart.
" I hope we're not bothering you, this is mualani. she's- " kinich was interrupted as she grab your hands.
" we're classmates back in our old school and we're living in the same host house, I can't get a second away from him huh. hahaha! though each class in your school, holds one exchange student. he's pretty lucky to get a cute girl like you in the class. heck you're even prettier than the picture he showed! " she gushed as you flushed harder, he talks about you to this girl!?
" are you both datin-"
" what! no! I would never date this emo! " she scolds as you can't help but laugh, kinich cleared his throat earning a playful glare from mualani.
" thanks for the treat and like always, good things comes to an end. I'll see you in school, y/n. " kinich gets up as mualani follows bidding you a goodbye as she walks first, kinich feels his legs glued to the floor. his ears didn't fail him and kunikuzushi was purposefully being loud when he mentioned the event lines.
he did order the item that'll strike the event lines to work, you stared at him as he looks down, gulping down as he says what you weren't expecting to hear.
" there's an event thing right? I'm allowed to make a request? " your kitty ears perks up, you try to control your beating heart.
" yeah you can make a request as long as its nothing too stupid and crazy, " you looked to the floor, avoiding his gaze as you try to calm down.
" can I get your number then? " to say the least you thought you died and met the archons. with shaking hands you accept and key in your number.
he bids you goodbye as he walks over to mualani as she smiles, giddy as she can't wait to hear more of what kinich has to say. he's been pretty chatty since meeting you and she's definitely in for it all.
kunikuzushi did stay to help you clean the store, he said you'll pay him with one of the events request to which you agreed.
--
" xiaooo~ " you playfully poke his cheek from behind his seated self. you sigh as you gave him a hug resting your head on his head.
" I'm gonna kill myself. " you stood straight as you take your seat, and kinich enters.
" did you hear, in gym class. one of the rival class from the school will join us. " someone says as you felt a shiver down your spine, this class better not be kunikuzushi.
luck was not on your side when you catch his gaze on you. him sitting on the bleachers as xiao and kinich just so happen to sit a few seats infront of him. you were playing basketball first. you as the appointed captain and lumine was your rival captain.
" beat her ass, y/n! " you hear kunikuzushi shout as everyone turn to look at the man. his shame out the window, thank the archons sethos isn't here.
" you're supposed to cheer for us! " the girls in his class shout as he stuck out his tongue.
the game did end with your team winning, kunikuzushi calls for you to come over as you obliged. he hands you a bottle of water as the referee calls for the boys to come and get ready for the game. he smiles as he catches your gaze. waving as you nearly choke on the water. nilou takes a seat next to you as lumine on her other side and keqing went to your right side.
" heyy! cheer for me okay!? " he shouts as you flushed the girls looking over you as you scream a do your best, you guys! that's definitely not targeted to kinich, xiao and that kuni boy.
the girls tried to get intel on the boy as you tried your hardest to focus on the game. twenty minutes in the game and kunikuzushi team was one point down. he grabs hold of the ball and just as he's about to score he shouts your name.
" this one's for you, y/n! " he shouts as he shoots a three pointer earning two points, the girls cooing at the smoothness. the game then ends and the teacher congratulated the team for winning before ending his class.
" he definitely likes you, " nilou says as she stands up. lumine following her as she tells you he's too far gone.
" he's a stupid one for sure, " keqing pats your head in pity for your love life.
you look over the boys as they gathered close, you walked over as kunikuzushi was massaging his hand.
" what's wrong? " you question as he smiles weakly.
" just jammed my fingers. " you grab his non-injured hand. bringing him to the first aid kit, placed on the first row of the bleaches he takes a seat as you wrapped an elastic compression bandage over his finders.
" hey why don't you kiss my boo boos away? it'll heal faster just like your magical blessing to my parfait. it was really delicious, " he teased as you brought his hand over to your lips pressing a quick kiss over it. kinich and xiao decided to take the seats next to you and kunikuzushi, drinking water and calming down from the game.
" we have an hour free and then lunch break, you should join us. " you say, standing up and changing as the boys meet you at the roof.
xiao sits next to you as kinich and kunikuzushi was opposite. silenced filled the first part.
" open up, " kunikuzushi brings the egg roll from his bento to you mouth, as you ate it. xiao calling you to open up too as you ate the broccoli from him. kinich opens his bottle of cola as he brings it to your face as you chug a good amount.
kunikuzushi smirking as you glared daggers at the growing tug on his lips. realisation hits you as you start coughing, xiao pats your back as you stand up. packing your things as you bid a quick goodbye.
" see you guys later, and bye kunikuzushit. " you mindlessly walk away, it's still too early to go back to class.
" now what is her problem, " kunikuzushi mellowly says as the two looks over the male.
" you tease her too much, " xiao points his chopsticks at the male as he laughs pushing his chopsticks away with his own pair.
" admit it, we all know who she likes. " xiao flushed. it's not him and he's well aware.
" why do you like her, kunikuzushi? you even got her to feed you, your parfait... " kinich trailed off as xiao stared wide eyed at the indigo man, he laughs.
" she's fun to tease, plus quite the beauty. she's too nice for her own good, " kunikuzushi admits, reminiscencing the first time he met you when you threw a punch at him for talking shit about your school. that's when you met sethos and lumine for the first time too. they quickly took a liking to you.
" what about you, xiao? " xiao can't help but stare and look away at the pair of eyes on him.
" she's pretty, yes. I grew up with her so I guess you can say my love for her just keeps growing with her... " there's more to love you for and he's too shy to tell it to them.
kunikuzushi is well aware with the choices you won't pick him nor would it be xiao, he pats xiao on the back. trying to lighten the mood, so he tells embarrassing tales about you as xiao returns the same.
--
mualani caught you walking down the halls, she drags you to the vending machine around the garden as you sat on the bench, sipping on your carton of milk.
" why do you like kinich? " she cheekily asked as she plops next to you.
" he's handsome, quite the sweet talker and um.. im not sure? my heart just longs for him... " you confess, feeling the same burning on your cheeks as she laughs.
well you have her support in this, she cheers you up and attempts to tell you embarrassing stories about kinich but they ended up being more about her. kinich catching her doing embarrassing stuff.
as class was ending, kinich tells you and xiao, he'll be waiting for mualani so xiao and you left together first.
you invite xiao over to your house as he obeys. placing the plate of almond tofu and a cup of ice lemon tea. you enjoyed the peaceful silence. before admiting something xiao was painfully aware of.
" I like kinich. " he swallows hard.
" I like you, " he confessed as you flushed. turning to look at him and he he maintained eye contact back.
" I'm sorry, " you looked away as he was quick to hold you hand. rubbing smooth circles.
" it's really okay, dating someone you grew up with would be a bore huh? besides you probably see me more like a brother than some romantic partner... " you can't help but sigh, if you hadn't met kinich and xiao confessed. you'll definitely accept, he was nothing but kind and sweet to you.
" you're never boring to be with. my heart just longs for the guy, " you sigh as you grab the hand, touching your hand. you bring it to your forehead as he place the spoon down, patting your head.
" if he ever breaks your heart, my arms are open for you. if you're thirty and he hasn't married you, I'll marry you in a heartbeat. " you can't help but laugh.
" I'll allow that, I'll break up if he doesn't propose hahaha, please don't wait for me if you did fall for someone. " he nods as the conversation continues. you introduced a new character in your life as xiao filled you in on what happened during lunch when you left. your soul leaving your body when he says kunikuzushi was sharing embarrassing stories about you. hell the new character in your life couldn't say any embarrassing stories about kinich because it was mainly him catching her on the act.
you walk xiao to the door when it was time to leave, he pulls you in for a hug and you let him hug you for as long as he felt like it.
--
the next day in school, school felt pretty fast this time. probably because you fell asleep in class thanks to someone keeping you up all night.
" y/n come with me. " kinich offers a hand as you blindly take it, rubbing your eyes with your other hand. you don't know where this guy is taking you.
he brings you to the garden, the gazebo in sight as you take a seat and he stands. hands hiding something behind. a yawn escapes your lips as he shows you the flowers.
" I like- love you. " he confess, your eyes shot open. this can't be a dream? you pinch your cheek as he laughs, pulling your hand away to plant a kiss on it.
" it's not a dream. I love you a lot, your kindness. you really helped me feel at ease in the school, I met a few cool people thanks to you. even if we're far apart, I'll do anything for you. we're still living in the same country just different region. it will take awhile to get to you but for you, I'll do anything. " you can't help but kiss the corner of his lips as he cups your face, giving you a proper kiss.
to say the least even being so far away, you never felt lonely. kinich texts you 24/7 even video calling whenever you want. when you graduated, you eventually moved to a place nearer to him to attend college. xiao and kunikuzushi unexpectedly following. all four attending the same college, you weren't expecting to be in the same business course as kunikuzushi as xiao and kinich happen to share the same course. well kinich never fails to slap a smile on your face everyday.

summer flows
pairing: soobin x reader
genre: beach!au, friends to lovers, fluff!!<3
summary: when the waves come crashing forward on a hot summer day, soobin's love gets swept up and becomes unveiled ashore
warnings: none i think :0
word count: 2k
a/n: do you guys think i'll find soobin at the beach tomorrow??????!!!! be honest!!!!!đ¤đ¤đ¤ biggest thanks to my bestie @huekalover3000 for helping me pull through with itđ¤§đ¤§đđ to be honest i'm not so sure how i feel about this but let me just taking it as a win for kicking some writers block ass (also i read through this twice but if there's still some mistakes then ummmmm pretend you didn't see it until i wake up)
âdo you need more ice?â
picking up the glass soobin was holding, you took a sip from the chewed-up straw before providing him with a verdict- the mojito that you had ordered barely minutes ago was now of a pale, yet still greenish color, with wet pieces of mint stuck to the walls of the glass like the slimy algae washed up on the shore. the alcohol had completely evaporated from sitting in such boiling heat, and the only flavor that your tongue could find a hint of anymore was lime, turned nastily sour.
âsureâ you shrugged. even though your drink was already diluted past salvation, there was no way youâd pour your money down the drain just like that- after all, it had cost you an inadmissible twelve dollars; at least if it was a bit colder, then there might have been a higher chance youâd be able to leave the beach without feeling nauseous.
soobin scooped up the remnants of ice from the metal bucket, 3 pieces so small that they were the size of a pebble. he dunked two of them in your drink, the third one having slipped and fallen into the sand, yet neither of you could gather up the energy to say a word about it. to simply put it, the heat today had been unseasonably oppressive, downright unacceptable and even close to lethal. youâd believe that peopleâs first instinct would be to stay inside and seek the protection of a dimly lit room with an ac or fan turned on to the max- but soobin had somehow convinced you that walking twenty minutes to reach the beach through languid summer heat was the better option.
âhow long has it been- shouldnât we get going soon?â you asked, yet laid back down with your arms behind your head, closing your eyes.
with a tap on his phoneâs screen, soobin looked at the time- it was six pm on the dot, marking a few good hours already since you came here. the overbearing sun was only now beginning to sink lower into the sea, painting golden hues over the beach as it prepared for sunset. with many families finding that as their cue to pack up and leave, the squeaks of children splashing around had also been significantly reduced. but soobin couldnât bring himself to leave too just yet, this was, in his mind, the ideal time to stay.
âcanât we go swimming one last time? i promise weâll leave right after thatâ he pleaded, hoping to stall for a bit more time here with you. given how many twists and turns you had to get through in order to find the place, he wasnât so sure how willing youâd be to make the journey again.
so, in the end, he chose not to risk it- leaping from where his towel laid without an answer, and jumping straight into the cool water. it wasnât quite in his nature to do something so impulsive though, and you could tell how flustered he was from the way he apologised with reddened ears to any people around he had accidentally splashed with water. with an amused yet defeated smile, you followed the footprints he left behind in the white sand at a much more leisurely pace than him- remaining on the shore, standing as you watched the tide lapping at your feet. the seafoam coming up shily touched your tiptoes, retracting its movements soon after.
âare you not gonna join me?â soobin asked, almost accusatory, tilting his head slightly as he swam closer towards you.
âstill thinking about itâ you teased, fighting back a laugh at the impatient sigh he had released.
since asking proved to be redundant, soobin proceeded with his plan B: throwing water in your direction- each time varying with a bit more intensity in his aim and deepening the stubborn frown between his eyebrows. much to his dismay though, you chose to give him no reaction, not appeasing to any of his continuous childish demands. his persistence wasnât one to underestimate though- seeing that you still wouldnât budge, he went on to take your hand in his, pulling your body past the edge of the sea and straight into the slightly deeper levels of the water. with the low temperature suddenly enveloping your body, an involuntary shriek made its way past your lips.Â
âmy hand slipped, sorryâ soobin chuckled, unmistakable mischief hidden behind his brown eyes.
âmy hand slippedâ you scowled, sending droplets flying towards him in matching retaliation.
about to defend himself, soobinâs hand rose up, the motion turning you to close your eyes in anticipation, bracing yourself for another taste of saltwater. however, you found yourself clashing with his body instead as you were drawn in by him once more; one of his arms wrapped around your waist to catch you, helping you not lose your footing, the other one carefully protecting your head. with his torso not fully submerged in the water, and with the evening breeze beginning to flow, soobinâs chest felt cool against your back- but before you could properly process what was happening, a wave came crashing forward, sending the two of you tumbling in different directions beneath the surface of the sea. the moment he rose back up, soobinâs eyes shot wide open, ignoring the searing pain induced by the water as he worriedly looked around for your figure. squeezing your eyes shut and desperately rubbing at them with your hands, you were unable to even pry them open as soobin called out your name.
âare you okay?â he exclaimed, the concern having made his voice come out louder than he had intended.
âyeah but- fuck, it stingsâ you grumbled in frustration.
as a brief signal of having reached you, he softly placed a hand on your back before speaking:Â
âwait right here, okay?â
even with the water slightly slowing down his movements, he walked in strides, trying to rush towards the shore. then, he grabbed his towel from the ground, hurriedly dusting off any clinging grains of sand with his hand. unscrewing the cap of his water bottle, he splashed a corner of the towel with it before returning towards you. careful not to let the material come in contact with the sea, he brought it up to your face, gently dabbing at the affected area in hopes to soothe your pain.
âbetter?â he asked in a shaky breath- relief washed over his face at the nod you gave in response.
âmuch better, yeah- thank youâ
âcome on, letâs get you back to the shoreâ he spoke gently, draping the same towel over your shoulders before leading you back, hand intertwined with his.
however, it was only momentarily relief soobin had felt- dusk was falling rapidly, and his shoulders tensed up again from the way he saw you continuing to shiver beside him on the sand, relentlessly rubbing at your bare arms and legs to hide away the goosebumps.
"still cold?" his hand gave yours a soft squeeze in concern; having been the one to suggest one last dip in the water, he now felt guilty seeing you shiver like this- perhaps he should have listened when you first suggested to leave.Â
"let me warm you up a bit"
grabbing the left end of the towel, soobin slipped his body beneath the coral colored cloth, shuffling closer towards you to the point where your knees were touching. for you, that was already enough to make the air feel hotter again, but soobin went on, dragging his hand along your shoulders and across the expanse of your back in thoughtful, rhythmic motions. you nuzzled your body further into his, seeking his warmth, and for a little while longer, you remained just like that, holding each other close in silence. but as tranquil as the scenery may have been- the air hung heavy, it was a silence that begged to be broken, eyes moving from sand to stone, with fluttering gazes at your lips every so often.
âsoâŚâ
âso-â
with the same words escaping the both of you at once, you couldnât help but laugh: âyou can go firstâ
âoh i just-â soobin paused, blinking a few times before continuing âi wanted to thank you for coming here with me todayâ
âof course-â you lightly nudged him âyou know i canât say no to youâ
soobin smiled lightly, then released a sigh. the stutter midway through his next words made you believe that they werenât so much of an honest match to his thoughts.
âiâm ready to leave if you want to- just tell meâ
absentmindedly, you traced shapes on a patch of sand in front, using a brittle piece of driftwood âi donât mind staying here a bit longerâ you mumbled âthe view is prettyâ
soobinâs eyes softened as he looked at you âyouâre prettierâ he said quietly, half-hoping that you wouldnât be able to pick up his words.
the unexpected comment took you off guard- flustered, you continued to avoid his peering gaze. you decided to question him for confirmation, too unsure whether to take him seriously or not âwhatâs that supposed to mean?â
pink dusted soobinâs cheeks and his mouth froze slightly agape- rather than giving you an answer, he simply looked ahead at the sea, resting his head on his knees. before he could begin to overthink it, soobin felt your lips softly pressing against his cheek, followed by a low whisper.
âfor calling me prettyâ
unsure of where exactly this was all leading to, you backed away then turned your head, placing your focus on the distant calls of birds and the waves rhythm instead- trying to steady your throbbing heartbeat in full accordance to their pace. and you were slowly beginning to calm down- that was, until you felt soobinâs lips press against your temple. but they left your skin just as quickly as they had touched it- flustered by his own actions, now it was his turn to look the other way, avoiding your face.
âwhat now?â you thought to yourself, as if you were caught playing some game of chess. it felt like your entire friendship strongly weighed on your next move- no matter how you put it, there was no clear answer that came to mind. panic began to settle in when you saw soobinâs head begin to turn towards you again:
âare you sure about this?â you blurted out impulsively.
âiâve always been sure about youâ soobin spoke under his breath, voice whispering so sweetly into the gusting breeze. the way he smiled after that warmed your heart in a way the sun never could- that tenderness of his reflected onto his face so clearly, and even more so in his touch, as he leaned in to meet your lips, slowly closing the gap between the two of you: a short kiss- still too hesitant to continue with more than just a brush of his lips. soobin gently moved away, just enough to be able to look into your eyes again.
âshould i stop?â he whispered, cupping your cheek. his thumb lightly trembled from nervousness as he caressed your skin.
âquite the opposite, actually-â you mumbled faintly, placing your own hand on top of his âdo that again, pleaseâ
the kiss that followed was still almost as light as a feather- soobin built up the pace slowly yet diligently, but despite threading with so much care, his kisses soon became much more fervent, much needier. a hand dipped down to your waist to pull you closer, soft gasps and sighs escaping whenever your lips parted from one another. with a bit more self control, he pulled away once he was completely out of breath, and with his head falling down to your shoulder, he bashfully confessed:
âif we donât leave now, iâm not sure if weâre ever getting out of hereâ

Y/N lounged on the comfortable bean bag she had brought into Niall's bedroom, her eyes fixed on the vibrant posters that adorned the walls. The room was a mix of music and Hannah Montana memorabilia, a reflection of Niall's interests. The soft hum of their favorite tunes played in the background, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Niall, her big brother, sprawled out on his bed with a guitar in hand, strumming casually as they shared stories and laughter. His fingers strummed the strings effortlessly, a skill he had gained over the years. Y/N admired her brother's musical talent, feeling a sense of pride as he effortlessly played familiar tunes.
During their childhood, the two often enjoyed karaoke, and other musical activities together, finding comfort in each other's singing. Y/N, having a desire to audition for the X Factor alongside Niall, never mustered the courage, letting him take the stage and eventually become a part of the growing band, One Direction. As the five boys' musical journey unfolded, Y/N eagerly looked forward to meeting them, hoping they were as friendly as Niall made them out to be.
âSo when yaâ gonna come meet me mates then?â Niall questioned looking up from his guitar almost like he was reading your mind.
âNot sure you know, whenever really.â She said with a shrug looking back down at her phone and quickly messaging someone back.
âIâll sort something for ya pumpkin, these are my best mates! Need to meet them at some point.â Niall sent her a soft loving smile beginning to think up ideas to make the day they all met even more special.

"You always meet twice in life!"
A few weeks ago I got a request for writing something with Tav being the scary, protective one of Astarion in a established relationship by @nyxiethesimp .
And I absolutely love the thought.
So have Tav losing it to protect Astarion when they Araj Oblodra, Astarion being like "hot damn" and enjoying his scary dog privileges. Also this will become a two part story with Astarion and Tav taking a muuuuch needed break after this.
Pairing: Astarion/GN!Tav
Warnings: Lots of swearing, graphic descriptions of violence, heavy spoilers
Wordcount: 2,6k
~~~
You had finally made it to the Lower City of Baldurâs Gate. It had only been a handful of days since you had made it to the city but those had already been filled with way more events than you could possibly process in this short time span.
Your encounter with Astarionâs âsiblingsâ had especially rattled you. Already you had been worried about entering the domain of Cazador. But seeing them, hearing about what it was that the vampire lord had planned from their mouths and Astarion hesitantly opening up about more atrocities he had suffered by the hand of Cazador Szarr had you on edge to say the least.
You were always hyper-vigilant â even more so than since all this had begun. You were barely getting any rest, always wanting to be on the lookout for Astarion. All you wanted was for him to be safe and sound and happy â tugged in with a nice blanket a teddy bear and a big smooch on the forehead.
Basically, if it had been possible, you would have shrunk him down and stuck him in your pocket, so he was always safe with you.
But since that sadly wasnât an option, you had settled for taking every safety precaution possible, being on high-alert all the time and volunteering as his teddy bear: snuggling up close with him every night in your room at Elfsong Tavern and telling him how much you loved him.
It was safe to say, you both didnât get a lot of sleep since fear and worries (not only about him but all your friends) kept you up most of all nights but at least you had each other.
Closing in on the lionâs den was only making it worse; also the fact that it actually was more than one den and more than one lion.
Today you felt that your fuse was especially short. Already you had barked at Shadowheart when she had been taking too long to get ready in the morning. And it mustâve been bad today because even Astarion had looked worried when he had softly touched your hand after you had thrown the door to Shadowheartâs room so violently the floorboards had shuddered.
âMy love, as much as I love how strong and intimidating you can beâ, he had said and softly taken your face in both his hands. âI donât think screaming at the cleric will help us with any of our tasks. We donât actually need more enemies against us. And I fear Shadowheart would make a formidable and very terrifying enemy.â Astarionâs brows had been deeply furrowed as he had angled his head and kept looking at you.
âIâm sorry, Astarion, I just-â
âNo need to apologise to me, my love, I know how it burdens you to keep everyone safe.â Then he had softly and sweetly kissed you.
âYou especiallyâ, you had whispered between the kisses and made doe eyes at him. All of a sudden, the sleep deprivation and anxious feelings had you almost tear up â you were so exhausted.
âOh my sweetheartâ, Astarion had purred and tried to cheer you up with a smile but it hadnât worked. âI hope you wonât forget to keep yourself safe, my heart.â
âYou know I kind of suck at that, Astarion.â
âGood thing you have me to look out for you in turn then.â
A smile had crept back onto your face then and you had leaned in for another deep kiss when the door you had smashed only a short time ago opened up again and Shadowheart strode out.
âSo, first you scream at me and then you make out just outside my room. Tav, as much as I appreciate you, you really need to get your hormones in checkâ, the cleric had declared while crossing her arms over her chest. Then she had went past without a word more but a sassy flip of her braid.
Then the party had started to make its way through the city: todayâs mission was to scout out the Upper City, so you walked different streets today. Some of them were even new to you but Astarion certainly knew almost all of them.
Still in the Lower City you passed an inconspicuous looking house that became very suspicious once you heard a very loud explosion coming from it and a familiar drow came running out on the porch â Araj Oblodra.
Your eyes immediately narrowed, remembering how the last time had went, when you had had the absolute displeasure of dealing with her. Not only had her attitude been incredibly rude and teeth-grindingly arrogant in general, but the way she had treated Astarion was still making your blood boil. As if he was merely a thing to do her bidding, as if he had no own will or freedom.
Of course, what had come of that encounter had been sweet and lifechanging for you and Astarion, but you frankly could have done very well without it. Back then you had sworn to yourself that if you ever came to meet her again â or any other person who tried to hurt or simply disrespect your soulmate â you would make her pay if she hadnât learnt her lesson.
And just seeing that arrogant face again made you want to claw her eyes out. Your face became an expression of disgust.
And sure as all Nine Hells: she spotted you and your group and a sort of malicious grin entered her face.
âAh, what a coincidence, it is you, traveller. I was just experimenting with your blood â it is quite volatile and has allowed for many interesting experiments already.â She looked quite proud of herself â you wanted to retch.
âWhy donât you come in and let me show you what Iâve been working on. I could offer you more potions. If you were to offer me more of your blood of course.â Her grin grew and you could feel your stomach turn.
You threw your companion asking looks because you frankly had a very bad feeling, but⌠âI guess we could use everything we can get in the fight against the Absolute.â Gale who was standing behind you on the right voiced your thoughts exactly.
Astarion to your left growled at the wizard, making your head swing to him. He still had his teeth bared at Gale, but his gaze snapped to yours: âItâs your call, my love, I donât want to see you hurt.â
His red eyes softened when he said that, and you were sure you could hear a quiet disgusted noise coming from Shadowheart.
You looked at him a moment longer. But Gale was right: you couldnât actually pass up an opportunity that might present you with something useful for your task.
You sighed and turned around to the drow and slowly made your way up to her. She was grinning knowingly. Already you wished for nothing more than to wipe that smug look off her damned face.
You all followed her inside where she started to explain condescendingly what she had been doing with your blood as you stood there, arms crossed and your patience running thin.
Arajâs eyes kept wandering to your left where Astarion was standing. So you took a step back and casually grabbed his hand, lacing your fingers with his â clearly stating that she had to deal with the both of you.
When the drow saw your gesture, her face formed into a sneer and she interrupter her sentence: âAh, I see you mightâve taken my wish and idea to get closer with your vampiric beau and made it your own. How thrilling!â You squeezed Astarionâs hand as you positioned yourself more squarely in front of the drow. The vampire tensed a little as the drow kept talking.
âThe heart-stopping bloodsucker. I hope youâve changed your mind â I mean since youâre obviously fond of the one neck already. My neck is yours, any timeâ, she finished and gave Astarion a look that would rather be meant for someone you wanted to get inside your bedroom and not someone you wanted to bite you. And it struck flaming hot jealousy into you.
âAnd I will be refusing until the end of timeâ, Astarion replied in a mocking high-pitched tone âIâm done bowing to the whims of others.â His tone deepened then, a growl almost laced with the words he let out through gritted teeth.
âAstarion, we can leave if you donât want to be around herâ, you offered him with a quick glance. His eyes darted from the drow to you and answering with a slight, quick smile. You could see that all others of your party also seemed more than displeased and tensed.
But before the vampire could answer you, Araj scoffed. âPathetic weakling spawn â do you need your guard dog to protect you now?â Her lip was curled into a mean smile.
Something inside you snapped â the remaining string of patience that had been tense and worn thin for days if not weeks suddenly non-existing.
With lightning-quick reflexes you let go of Astarionâs hand and bolted towards the drow. Grabbing her by the collar and pulling her towards you until she was almost nose to nose with you.
âHow many more times until you get it in your fucking head?â, you screamed at her and shook her violently. âHe does NOT WANT TO BITE YOU AND HE NEVER WILL, YOU DAMNED BITCH!â
Your teeth were gritted and bared as you stared in the drowâs eyes wide with shock. You were absolutely feral, searing hot anger made your heart race as you clawed at Arajâs collar. It slowly cut off her air ways â you couldnât care less.
No one was going to threaten or insult Astarion as long as you had a say in it â and certainly not this bitch. You dragged her in even closer and bared your teeth at her as she tried to get away from you. But you had the advantage of righteous and pent-up fury.
But a soft touch on your shoulder distracted you a bit, your hands loosened a little on the drow. âDonât waste your breath on her, darling, sheâs not worth itâ, Astarion said directly behind you. âLetâs just leave, my love.â
Astarion, who usually delighted in people getting the sharp edge of your knife or an arrow to the eye from your bow, seemed a bit distraught by your sudden outbreak of violence. This was not exactly a behaviour he knew from you or expected from you.
âIf I ever meet you again, I will fucking kill youâ, you hissed at Araj and then slowly let go of her. You opened and closed your hands a few times to loosen your fingers again as you turned around and grabbed Astarionâs hand again who still looked â if not shocked, at least a bit surprised. He wasnât used to people so aggressively taking his side and protecting him, although it had already been the second time you and him had denied the drow.
You heard Araj cough behind you from you almost strangling her.
The whole party had turned their backs to walk out the door again, when the drow spoke with a hoarse voice: âPathetic low-life surface elves. Next time Iâll see you, Iâll bury a fucking stake in your vampire fuckboyâs HEART!â She screamed the last word.
That was it. You completely lost it. You whirled around and sucker-punched her with possibly the mightiest right swing youâd ever landed. The fluidity and acceleration of your graceful turn and motion towards the drow gave you the power you lacked in pure strength.
Your fist connected with Arajâs face who had absolutely no time nor means to avoid the hit. You struck her squarely on her nose and lips and you could hear her nose crack as her lip split and you probably knocked out a few teeth as well. The drowâs head was rocked back and connected with the wall she had been standing in front of. She was immediately knocked out and toppled to the ground as you groaned at the jolt of pain that had shot from your hand through your whole arm and upper body.
âYou always meet twice in life, donât fucking make it three times, you bitchâ, you said as you shook her blood from your knuckles. The drow was alive but wouldnât get up anytime soon.
Your friends were all stock-still and quite openly shocked at your display of violence. Even Astarionâs eyes had widened and he stared at you.
âIâm fucking done hereâ, you exclaimed and rushed outside while shaking your hurting hand. You threw Astarion a glance in passing and then stormed outside to cool your anger.
And as you threw the door close behind you, you were pretty sure, you heard Astarion mutter under his breath: âWell, mark me down as horny and scared.â And was that Gale agreeing with a shocked âhm-hmâ?
You stood around aimlessly on the porch and carefully looked at your hand â your knuckles had split and were bleeding. Astarion strode outside after you â alone.
You looked from your hand to him. All your anger had disappeared now and had left you powerless and exhausted. Tears started streaming down your face.
âIâm sorry, I only wanted to protec-â, you started as you thought about the mess you had just created. But Astarion cupped your already wet face and kissed you with open lips.
Thatâs how you stood for quite some while. Astarionâs thumbs softly brushing away the tears from your eyes until they had dried up. After, when he had softly broken the kiss but kept holding your face he said: âThereâs absolutely nothing to apologise for, my love. In fact, I cannot tell you how grateful I am for you to not only take my side but⌠uh⌠rather aggressively defending it.â His arms glowed with admiration and love and then he leaned in again to kiss you. You simply sniffled.
âBesidesâ, he said a few moments later when his lips left yours again and you had almost forgotten you were not alone in the world, âI mean itâs usually two men fighting to defend the honour of a woman, but I feel absolutely flattered that youâre out here knocking people out on my behalf. I would now definitely offer you my handkerchief with my initials embroidered into them as a token of my affection. And it was kind of â hot. Even the wizard thought so.â A huge grin split the vampireâs face and made you break out into a giggle.
As you moved to wipe away the last of your tears with the back of your hand, Astarion gasped a little. He quickly grabbed your injured hand and inspected it.
His thumb gently wandered over your knuckles as his brows kneaded together in worry and you hissed from the pain â looked like youâd hurt yourself more than you realised at first.
âSpeaking of handkerchief â Iâd really like to have one on my person right now to clean up your poor hand, my love, but Iâm currently out.â
You simply replied with a soft mocking âawwâ and made a face as Astarion kept carefully turning your hand over.
Then his head snapped up again and he watched you with a mischievous grin on his face: âThatâs it, my love. Iâm stealing you away for a day of rest and relaxation.â You immediately wanted to protest.
âAh ah ah, my sweet, I wonât take no for an answer. You desperately need a break and I will get you this embroidered handkerchief as you are now my chosen champion to defend my delicate and precious honourâ, Astarion said with a wink and a smile.
And then he kissed you again.

Disclaimer: the story represented in this work does not represent Stray Kids in any way; anything described in this story and all actions performed by the characters are purely fictional, this was created just for good fun.
In your line of work, it was hard to have any kind of interpersonal relationships. Having either platonic or romantic connections posed a risk, not only to you, but also to the others involved.Â
Even then, you were a firm believer that, as long as no one knew your identity while you were âon the clockâ, was enough for you to keep at least a handful of people close to you. You had a few close friends, some with a similar profession to yours, some just office or retail workers that had no idea what you did for a living. What you didnât have, though, was a romantic partner.
It was tough to keep a relationship going when you couldnât tell them what you did to bring food to the table. Youâd always dance around the topic fairly easily, but, eventually, the situation would become unsustainable, and either you or the other person decided to break things off.
Youâd been single for a while nowâa long, long whileâand you honestly had no active desire to find yourself a romantic companion. That wasâŚuntil you met Chris.
Chris was a friend of a friend of a friend, someone you had seen once or twice at the odd social gathering you attended. He was incredibly handsome, but, most importantly, he was funny, always made you laugh whenever you interacted, and also seemed to have similar interests to yours.Â
In a twist of fateâand against your better judgementâyou ended up going on a date with him. A date that, surprisingly, ended with you and him tangled in his bedsheets. That night, you discovered that, not only were you compatible with Chris when it came to opinions on the current state of the world, on the theories for the next season of your favourite shows, but also in bed.
It was honestly almost crazy how good he made you feel, how there seemed to be sparks flying in the air whenever your bodies touched in any way, and, not to throw roses on your own garden, but you were confident that you made him feel good, too. So much so, the next morning, when you had to leave and heâd kissed the oxygen out of your lungs before dropping the most adorable âYouâll call me back, right?â you knew you had no escape, that there was no way youâd pass up this opportunity.
Five months down the line and you already had a Christopher-shaped hole in your heart. You knew it was stupid, that it was dangerous, but you just couldnât help it. Not when he was quite possibly the best romantic partner youâd ever hadâto be fair, the bar was already quite low, but he still managed to jump ten metres over it.
In any relationship youâd ever had you always avoided the topic of work, not only yours, but the other personâs, too. If you avoided asking about their job, maybe they wouldnât ask about yours, that was your reasoning. However, youâd discovered that people loved to talk about their jobs, that some people even made them their one and only topic of conversation, which was incredibly inconvenient.
Thankfully, Chris didnât talk about work at all. Not his, nor yours. You had no idea what he did for a living, all you could infer was that it paid enough for him to live comfortably in his cosy flat. You honestly didnât care, he could keep that information to himself as long as you could keep yours as well.
What you did for a living was probably not the most morally right career path, but it was your family trade. Youâd been trained for it since you were very young, so it was honestly a no brainer for you. Some people called it a gun for hire, some called it being a mercenary, you, personally, didnât particularly feel like calling it anything at all.
People hired you whenever they needed someone kidnapped, tortured, or killed. And, although you had killed for your job before, you almost always tried to turn those offers down. Clean-up was messy, and even if you hardly had any empathy for your targets, killing them always made you feel a bit uneasy.
Two nights ago you were called in for a job, the kidnapping of the eldest son of the Kim family that ruled the capital city. Seungmin, his name was. Based on the investigation youâd done he was younger than you, a bit rowdy, and an apparent oddball. He, very inconveniently for you, also had a handful of very skilled bodyguards protecting him at all times.
You couldnât find any records of those bodyguards of his, only that they called themselves the Five-Point Stars, and that they were good at what they did. Regardless, you had a lot of confidence in your own abilities. After all, never once had you lost a fight, nor been unable to finish one of your jobsâalthough youâd been close to being killed sometimes, youâd admit.
As soon as you woke up, you started to recount the plan you had put together for your mission tonight.
After wiretapping his personal tailorâs phone, you heard him tell someone how he had prepared Seungminâs suit for the night. You knew Seungmin was going to attend a screening of a new movie that was financed by his father. Itâd be dark, crowded, and the perfect setting for you to sneak in, get him unconscious, take him out of there, and hopefully outsmart his bodyguards.
A particularly loud snore next to you snapped you out of your focus, and you turned around to find Chris on his back, with an arm over his eyes and his mouth slightly open. You couldnât help but smile at the sight, and, for a moment, even if just for this morning, you decided you wanted to enjoy being just a regular civilian instead of a trained assassin.
âBabyâŚâ You reached for Chrisâ shoulder to lightly shake him awake. âBaby, wake upâ.
Chrisâ whole body tensed. His hand flew to catch yours that was shaking him awake, and he held it in a tight grip. Throughout your relationship youâd discovered that Chris had incredibly quick reflexes, and a very intense fight or flight response, so his sudden movement didnât faze you in the slightest. ��Wâwhat?â
âYou were about to choke, baby. You need to moveâ, throughout your relationship, youâd also learnt that Chris suffered from a sleeping disorder. You found out about it the first time he woke you up in the middle of the night gasping for air.
Poor thing, heâd been so embarrassed while he told you about it, but you were quick to reassure him that you didnât mind, if anything, it only made you worry about him.
Because that was how important Chris was to you. Important enough for you to care about his sleeping habits, important enough that he warmed your cold heart.
So now, any time you were awake and you heard him snore particularly loudly, you woke him up before he could choke on his spit.
âAh⌠Thank you, sweetheartâ, he mumbled, clearly still half asleep.Â
Chris turned to his side, scooting closer to you and pulling you into his arms. You couldnât help the small giggle that left your lips as soon as your head was tucked under his chin, just like he seemed to not be able to contain his at all, either.Â
The feeling of his bare skin against yours was incredibly comforting, his warmth seeped into you, reaching areas deep within your heart that no one else ever had before.
As you laid there in his arms, as you heard his heartbeat under your ear, and as you felt the minute rumbles of his snoring resume, you realised this was probably the happiest youâd ever been with a partner, and you hoped that your relationship with Chris would be the last one you ever had.
Getting into the movie screening was easy. Your specialty was sneaking around undetected, youâd learnt to walk without making a soundâno sound from your feet hitting the ground, nor your breath going in and out of your lungs, nor your clothes moving with the windâŚ
Youâd also heard from Seungminâs tailorâwhose name was apparently Hyunjinâthat the Kims had a special, private room in this particular cinema, so that was likely where the eldest son of the family would be.
Finding this room was the hard part. It wasnât in any of the blueprints of the building, so you spent a good hour surveying the place, until you finally saw a waiter coming out from what seemed to be a simple wall.
Tightening the hood over your head, making sure the lower part of your face was covered properly by your kerchief, you made your way to that wall to inspect it closely. There was a tile on the wall that was shaped differently than the others. It was barely perceptible, just a tad smaller than the ones around it, so you pressed on it, and immediately you were able to push what you now knew was a door camouflaged as part of the wall.
As soon as you stepped into the room, you saw Seungmin, sitting on what looked to be a very comfortable armchair, watching the movie from behind the glass that kept this area hidden from the rest of the auditorium.Â
Slowly, you approached him, careful to not make a single sound as you unclipped the rope you had attached to your belt. Before you could use it, though, you felt a slight disturbance in the air around you, and every single one of your senses zeroed in on the direction of it.
In a second, you ducked, just barely missing the bat that had been swung your way.
âChan!â You heard Seungmin scream, but you didnât dare turn to look at him, not when his bodyguard had all his attention on you.
It was just one man. You could barely make out the features of his face, not only because it was dark, but also because he had a mask covering the lower half of his face, and because he was moving so fast you could hardly take in anything else.
The man, Chan, based on the name Seungmin had screamed, certainly put up a good fight. Any blow you sent his way he blocked without much difficulty, just like you did his. It was a pretty on par encounter, but you were running out of time. The longer you stayed there, the more time you were giving them to get back-up, so you reasoned the wisest choice was to retreat. This mission was getting way too dangerous, and if they captured you itâd all be over.
Chan wasnât giving up, though, and he was making it incredibly hard for you to make your escape. You managed to kick him in the chest, but aside from a grunt of discomfort he didnât relent, and, with a swing of his bat, he was able to land a hit on your arm.
It was painful, yes, but you could hardly feel it with the adrenaline pumping through your system. Taking a knife from their designated place on your bodice, you threw it in Chanâs direction. It didnât stab him, but it did manage to cut one side of his mask, enough to distract him so you could make your escape.
By the time you were out of the cinema the place was full of guards, so you knew your night was over.
It didnât matter.Â
You hadnât lost. You were just experiencing a set-back.
âMissed you so much, gorgeousâ, Chris mumbled between kisses, further pressing you against the back of your front door.
âMissed you, tooâ, was all you mumbled back, unable to keep your lips away from his for too long.
You hadnât seen Chris for seven whole days. It wasnât because you didnât want to, you were honestly desperate to see him, but once you were back at your place after your failed attempt to kidnap Seungmin you realised how hurt your body was.
That guy Chan had certainly done a number on you, and the only thing that kept you from bursting into flames by the rage you felt, was the fact that you were sure youâd done a number on him, too.
Your bruises had now just started to fade, so you figured they were now normal-looking enough that your boyfriend wouldnât think much about them.Â
You were supposed to go out for dinner tonight, but as soon as Chris was at your doorstep, as soon as his lips were on yours, you both quickly realised you didnât want to go for dinner anymore. How could you, when the taste of each other was much better than any meal you could possibly have?
âCome hereâ, Chris pulled himself away from you, taking a hold of your hand and tugging you towards the sofa. âHavenât been able to stop thinking about those nudes you sent meâ.
You couldnât help the smirk that came to your face. Of course he couldnât stop thinking about the pictures you sent him. That was their entire purpose, after all. They were simple, really, but clearly enough to rile him up. It was just you riding one of your favourite dildos, with your ass on full display for him to ogle.
Chris pushed you to the sofa. As soon as you were seated he dropped to his knees, and spread you open for him. Wearing a skirt to your date was certainly the wisest choice you made tonight.
âMaybe I should send you a video next time. Iâll ride it just like I ride youâ, you said, just as you lifted your hips enough for him to pull your underwear down your legs.
âFuck, you spoil me too muchâ, was the last thing to come out of Chrisâ mouth before he dived between your legs. His lips found your clit with expert ease, gently sucking on it.
Your entire body came alight, a moan of his name escaped your mouth, and you brought a hand to his head so you could tug on his curls, just how you knew he liked it. âSo fucking good with your mouth, baby, fuckâŚâ
Chris simply hummed in response, sending vibrations through your body, making you whine.
With his hands on the back of your thighs, he pushed your legs further towards your chest, getting better access to your centre. Chris had very quickly learnt his way around your body, and heâd even shown you new ways in which you could feel good, ways youâd never even imagined youâd get to experience.
His tongue changed focus, from your clit to your entrance, diligently licking your folds, and he groaned at the taste of you on his tongue once he pushed it within your walls. He stayed there for a while, occasionally coming back up to lick and suck on your clit only to come back down to slurp you up. Until he finally moved further down so he could lick the tender skin of your ass, all while he stimulated your clit with his fingers, making you shiver.Â
Desire pooled in the pit of your stomach, and the most pathetic whine left your mouth as soon as he started to lave at your skin. You wouldâve never thought how good this could feel, never let a partner come anywhere near your ass, but one night, after drinking one too many beers, the topic of things you wouldâve liked to try in bed came up.Â
You could still remember the look on Chrisâ face when he confidently said âIâd really like to eat your ass. Like, would love to, honestlyâ. And maybe itâd been the fact that you were a bit tipsy, or the fact that he was so utterly unashamed when he said it, or maybe even the fact that you trusted Chris like youâd never trusted anyone else before, but you werenât entirely displeased with the idea⌠So you gave it a try, and now you couldnât even fathom getting head if you didnât feel his tongue on your ass at least once.
Without detaching his mouth from your sensitive skin, he brought two fingers to your mouth, and you wasted no time on wrapping your lips around them, sucking on them, licking them. You couldnât help but moan around his digits, and Chris simply gave you a satisfied hum in response.
He let you enjoy the feeling of his fingers in your mouth for a while, until they were thoroughly coated in your saliva. As soon as he removed them from between your lips, he brought them to your entrance and pushed them into you, to the last knuckle. âCâmon, baby. Show me your pretty tits. Hm?â
You just nodded in response, unable to form a sentence with the now relentless pace of his fingers continuously hitting the most sensitive areas within your walls. With trembling fingers, you unbuttoned your blouse and squeezed your breasts over the fabric of your lace bralette before you pulled them out of the cups.
âShit, look at you⌠Touch them, baby. Just how you like itâ.
So you complied, lightly dragging your fingers over your now stiff nipples, sending tiny shocks of pleasure up and down your spine with the motion. The stimulation you were giving to your chest, Chrisâ fingers going in and out of your cunt, and the dirty words coming out of his mouth brought you close to the edge, and you started to feel incredibly desperate for your relief.
âChris, babyâŚâ You whined as Chris sped up his motions, as you rolled your nipples between your fingers.
âYes, sweetheart?â Chrisâ voice was so soft, a complete contrast to the brutal pace of his fingers.
âWant yourâYour mouthâ, you could barely hold eye contact anymore, seeing the desire in his eyes brought heat to your cheeks. It was always the same when he found himself between your legs, he always looked at you like you were the prettiest thing heâd ever seen, and it made you feel incredibly wanted.Â
âHmm⌠You sure thatâs what you want?â
You nodded, a bit frantically, youâd admit. âWant your mouth toâŚmake me come, please, loveââ
You knew that the second the word âpleaseâ left your mouth youâd get exactly what you asked for, and you barely registered the broken moan that flew past your lips as soon as his lips attached to your clit once again.
Chrisâ movements didnât relent until you were coming. They didnât even relent while you were coming. He kept sucking on your clit, fucking you open with his fingers, turning you into a whimpering mess as he pushed you past the brink of overstimulation, and making you fall face first into a consecutive high.
When he was done with you, you were still trembling, panting, and he finally left his place on the floor to sit next to you on the sofa and pull you into his chest so he could softly caress your hair, mumbling sweet words of encouragement. âMmm⌠Such a good girl, arenât you, love? So good to me. You did wellâŚâ
You just hummed, burying your face in the crook of his neck to leisurely press kisses on his skin.Â
As soon as you regained some of your composure, you kissed him. You kissed him with such want one wouldâve thought he hadnât just made you feel like youâd gone to the moon and back four times. You quickly undid his belt, unbuttoned his jeans, and tugged them and his underwear down just enough to let his length free of its confinements.
In no time, you had straddled him and sunk yourself on his cock, eliciting a shared sigh of relief.
You sneaked a hand under his shirt just as you leaned in to kiss him again. His abdomen tensed and relaxed while you slowly traced every muscle with your fingertips, your soft caresses eliciting content sighs to fall from his lips and get lost in your mouth. Taking a hold of the hem of his shirt, you tried to get it off of his frame, but Chris shook his head, pulling your hands away and mumbling a âno time for that⌠God, bun, moveâŚâ
Chris held your ass tightly in his hands as you bounced on him. His mouth attached to your chest, sucking your nipples into his mouth so he could lick them, nibble on them. Under the unfaltering pace of your hips, it only took a handful of minutes to turn him into a moaning, whining mess.
âFuck, baby⌠If you donât slow down, Iâll blowâ, Chris nuzzled his face on your chest, and you brought your hands to the back of his head, further pushing him into your cleavage.
âGoodâ, was all you told him, admittedly a bit breathless. âNeed you to fill me up, Chris, baby⌠Need it so badâŚâ
Chris swore under his breath, and his hold on your buttocks tightened. It wasnât long until you got exactly what you wanted. With a moan of your name, your boyfriend pumped you full of his release, making you whine at the warmth of his cum reaching deep inside you.
You didnât stop moving, though.
Even if your thighs were burning, you kept bouncing on his cock, until his groans of relief turned into desperate whines, until he was whimpering against your chest and digging his short nails on the supple flesh of your buttcheeks.
âPâpleaseâŚâ You heard him whine, and youâd be lying if you said you didnât felt accomplished by the sound. That was when you took pity on him, finally sitting down fully on his lap and stopping your movements.
Chris groaned, exhaling all that air heâd been holding in while you overstimulated him. He threw his head back to rest it on the backrest of the sofa, looking eighty shades of fucked out of his mind. He was breathing heavilyâas were youâand he could barely keep his eyes open, but he still let out an incredulous laugh, giving you one of his blinding smiles, making you smile in return.
Cupping your cheeks, he pulled you down for a kiss before he whispered, âI fucking love youâ.
And once he said it, you finally let yourself voice those thoughts that had been roaming your mind for a while now, just before you leaned in for another kiss. âI love you, babyâ.
By the time you had both thoroughly enjoyed one another, you were too tired to leave your place. So you ordered takeout, got into your comfiest pyjamas, and decided to have your dinner date in the warmth of your home while watching your favourite show together.
Although, to be fair, you didnât get very far into the show. With your now full stomachs, Chris pulled you into his arms while you both laid on the sofa, softly caressing your hair as he sang to you, inadvertently lulling you to sleep.
This Chan guy was seriously testing your patience.Â
Every time you tried to get to the Kim kid heâd always be there, heâd always manage to get you to back off. It was starting to hurt your pride, and, even if you were one to avoid killing, you started to genuinely consider taking his life just so he could stop being a nuance.
Youâd had three other failed attempts at your task since that fiasco in the cinema, so tonight would hopefully be the day you succeeded. Seungmin was to attend a piano concert at one of the classic theatres his family owned, meaning heâd once again be in a dark, crowded place. There was no hidden room as far as you could tell from your surveillance earlier this week, so that gave you some semblance of peace.
You werenât sure if it was the fact that this particular job was taking longer than usual to get it over with, or if it was the fact that you kept being forced to retreat by that one bodyguard of Seungminâs time and time again, but lately youâd been incredibly frustrated, and it seemed like the only way to get that frustration out of your system was to get it fucked out of you. Luckily, even if your boyfriend didnât know what was going on, he had been giving you exactly what you needed and more any time you asked for it.
The droplets falling down Chrisâ pecs and his toned stomach added a delightful shine to his physique, yet you could hardly focus on any of it. The only thing you could focus on was the feeling of his cock on your tongue, heavy and warm, the delicious sounds coming out of his mouth and bouncing off of his showerâs walls as you took him in and out of your throat, and the dark, lustful, but somehow still loving look in his eyes.Â
âShit⌠You always tell me how good I am with my mouth⌠But what about you, baby, huh?â Chris leaned his head back on the tiles, holding your head in place so he could start slowly thrusting into your mouth, making you moan.
You just couldnât take it anymore, you needed him to fuck you dumb, you needed to further disconnect your mind from reality outside of these walls. So, with a tight grip on the base of his cock, you pulled your mouth off of Chris and started pumping him in your hand, looking him right in the eyes.
âFuck meâ.
Chris just laughed as soon as the words were out of your mouth. He swiftly helped you to your feet so he could turn you around and push your chest against the cold tile wall. âSomeone woke up a bit needy today. Hm?â
âAnd what if IâFuckâŚâ You completely forgot where your sentence was going as soon as you felt your boyfriend push himself into you, stretching you open just so perfectly all you could do was rest your forehead against the wall when he started to move.
âMaybe you should move inâŚâ Chris attached his lips to your shoulder, kissing and sucking on your skin as his hand found its way towards your front, right between your legs to diligently rub that sweet bud at the apex of your thighs. The mix of his motions between your legs, of the words he mumbled against your skin, and the obscene sound of your wet skin colliding time and time again was steadily clouding your reason, enough to genuinely consider what he was offering. âIf you did, we could do this every day, sweetheartâŚâ
âMaybe I shouldâŚâ You were certainly delirious, there was no way you could live with another person while trying to keep your trade a secret. But the longer you stayed in that shower, relishing the company and precise motions of your boyfriend, the more you wanted to believe it was possible.
Even after heâd coaxed a mind-numbing orgasm out of you, after heâd stuffed you full of his cum, and after heâd helped you dry your hair with the hairdryer he kept in one of the drawers of his bathroom, when you both were getting dressed in his bedroom, you desperately wanted to believe it was possible to have a normal life. Maybe you should start considering retirement⌠But would you be able to live a civilian life without the thrill of your job? You werenât too sure. For Chris, though, you might tryâŚ
âCome here, bunâ, Chris suddenly held your waist and dropped to his bed, bringing you down with him. All you did was laugh, scrambling to find a comfortable position on top of him so you could kiss him.
He was really giggly today, and the sound warmed you up. You dragged your fingers over his still damp curls as you peppered his face with kisses, chuckling with mirth and an immense amount of love for this man that had managed to make you feel a bit normal again.Â
âPretty?â Chris tried to get your attention. You just hummed in response to let him know you were listening, but you didnât stop pressing kisses on his cheek.
With his hands on your waist, he tried to get you to look at him. âListen, baby. ThereâsâŚthereâs something Iâd like to tell youâŚâ
You finally pulled yourself away a bit, enough to look him in the eyes. He looked incredibly serious, more than you had ever seen him over the course of your relationship, and it gave you pause.
Chris opened his mouth to speak, but before any words came out, the obnoxious ringtone of his phone interrupted him. With a roll of his eyes and an annoyed sigh, he gently pushed you off of him, muttering a âGimme a sec, gotta take thisâŚâ
You watched Chris leave the bedroom entirely before you stood up from his bed and continued getting dressed. You could hear your boyfriendâs hushed voice coming from the living room, but you couldnât make out a single word. Maybe it was for the best, you honestly didnât like to pry on his private conversations. After all, youâd hate it if he tried to eavesdrop on yours, all things considered.
By the time he was back you had already gotten yourself into a fresh set of clothes. There was a frown on his face, but it quickly disappeared the moment he spotted you by his mirror.
Standing behind you, he placed his hands on your belly, pulling you back towards his chest as he pressed kisses on your neck. You just hummed, watching him through the mirror and melting in his hold.Â
âBabeâ, you mumbled, getting him to open his eyes and look at you through the mirror. He rested his chin on your shoulder, intently listening to you. âWhatâd you want to tell me?â
Chris took a deep breath, pulling himself away from you to take a hold of your hips once you turned around and looped your arms around his neck. âItâs nothing urgent. Say⌠What if we go on a little vacation to the coast this weekend?â
âMmm⌠A little escapade?â You chuckled, and Chris hummed in response, cupping your cheek with one hand to pull you in for a kiss.
If everything went well tonight, youâd more than appreciate some time to wind down from the entire thing, and spending the entire weekend relaxing, barely even clothed, listening to the waves crashing against the breakwater with Chris sounded like absolute heaven. Itâd be like your own little celebration for your win over that insufferable guard dog of Seungminâs.
âSounds like a great idea, babyâ, you told your boyfriend as soon as his lips detached from yours, smiling brightly at him.
The sound of the piano could be heard perfectly even outside of the theatre. You didnât know the name of the piece, but it was clear that it was being played by expert hands. Even if you were mostly impassive whenever you fell into yourâŚprofessional mode, you were still a bit on edge after months of having your plans ruined by Chan, so the melody floating in the air certainly helped soothe you a bit.
The corridors to the main hall were empty, completely quiet save for the sound of the piano bouncing off of the walls. The old construction was a bit difficult to navigate, but youâd gotten well acquainted with the place throughout the past week, so you found your way to the concert hall with ease.
Everything was dark, save for the lights shining on the stage, illuminating the silhouette of the musician sitting on one of the three pianos thatâd been set on the podium.Â
Something felt odd, though.
In an instant, you noticed the emptiness in the hall. The music stopped, replaced by a loud bang and the sound of the bullet hitting the wall, right where your head had been just seconds before your instincts kicked in and you moved away.
It was a trap.
Youâd stupidly let them lure you in here, where Seungmin was, very clearly, not even present.
No matter. You might not get your target tonight, but you could still get your peace back.
Chan kept firing at you from the stage, and you continued to expertly dodge his bullets as you swiftly got closer to him. Somewhere in the back of your mind you could hear your fatherâs voice from back when he was training you, telling you that chasing after someone that wasnât the one youâd been hired to attack was foolish, that itâd put you at risk. You didnât care, this was personal now.
Taking one of the knives from your bodice, you threw it in Chanâs direction, just barely missing his form when he ducked out of the way. It felt like it lasted for a long time, you throwing knives at him, and him shooting at you, until you made it to the stage and he had no option but to physically fight you.
He was incredibly agile, but so were you. Especially after having fought him so many times. Youâd picked up his tells, how he shifted his weight on his heel before he threw a punch, how he moved slightly to the left when he kicked, so itâd gotten easier to counterattack each and every single one of his moves.
Chan was good at what he did⌠But you were better.
With a kick to his knee and a push on his chest, you managed to send him to the floor and pin him under you. He tried to move, but you swiftly pressed one of your knives to his neck, effectively stopping his movements.
There was a moment of silence, a moment of you staring down at him, and a moment of him staring up at you.
This was the first time youâd actually gotten to see his face this clearly. There was usually barely any illumination whenever youâd fought before, and both of your quick movements made it easy to miss the details on the exposed areas of your faces. His straight hair pushed off of his foreheadâsave for one single piece that seemed to always be out of placeâgave you plenty of room to see the blue contact lenses he wore. You couldnât help but wonder if those were simply for aesthetic purposes, or if they held any sort of special tech quality to themâhe worked for the Kims, after all.
There was something eerily familiar in the way his eyebrows furrowed, in his eyes, even with the obviously fake blue colour. Whether you were going to kill him or not, you suddenly felt an intense need to see his face. All of it. So, with your free hand, you hooked your finger on the side of his mask so you could pull it off.
For a split second, you couldnât help but wonder if your eyes were playing a trick on you. Despite the straight hair and the blue contacts, the curve of his lips and the shape of his nose were so distinct there was just no way this man could be anyone else.
You tried to never speak while on the clock. After all, your voice might be a very good indicator of your identity. It mightâve been the shock of seeing such a familiar face, but you really couldnât help the name from coming out of your mouth, as a barely audible whisper. ââŚChris?â
Confusion crossed the features of the man under you. His eyes jumped all over your faceâor what could be seen of it, at least. His angry frown turned into a look of shock, mixed with some concern, and you saw his Adamâs apple bob in your peripheral vision when he swallowed, almost audibly.
You still had the knife pressed to his neck, but you were honestly unable to move at all. So much so you didnât even flinch when he slowly started to move himself.
With a trembling hand, he reached for the black kerchief that covered the lower half of your face. You didnât stop him, you just let him tug it down to your neck and reveal your face to him.
The sound of your name, coming out as a breathless whisper out of his mouth hurt more than any hit youâd received throughout the past handful of months.
âWhat theâŚfuckâ, the hurt tone in his voice broke your heart, and you could feel the lump form in your throat. âAll this timeâŚ?â
âI had no ideaâ, you couldnât help the tremble in your voice, and you werenât sure if you hated yourself for being so vulnerable in front of the enemy. But then again, he wasnât only an enemy, he was also the man youâd fallen madly in love with.
âWhy are you doing this? Why are you trying to get to Seungmin?â His voice trembled, yet neither of you dared to move further.
âI was hired to do itâ, you replied simply.
âBy whom?â
âI wonât tell you⌠IâŚcanâtâ, you could feel them. The treacherous tears that pricked your eyes⌠Crying in front of the enemy was unheard of, but you supposed these werenât normal circumstances.
Chris swallowed again, and you could see tears of his own well in his eyes. âSoâŚwhat now, bun?â
The sound of the pet name coming out of his mouth fully obliterated the remaining pieces of your heart, and you couldnât stop the tears from falling anymore. So you didnât. âIâI donât knowâŚâ
âYou should kill meâ, Chris said, very confidently, without any semblance of doubt in his voice. And even though your grip on the knife tightened, you didnât move it, you just shook your head in response, trying to contain the sob that threatened to come out of your mouth.
âYou shouldâ, he repeated after a few moments of silence. âIâve doneâŚmany horrible things in my life. Iâve killed people, tortured people⌠Iâve done it proudly, tooâ, Chris brought a hand to your wrist, holding it gently, but firmly. âIâve made peace with all that a long, long time ago⌠But knowing Iâve spent months hurting the woman I love is something I canât live withâŚâ
âYou didnât knowâ, your hand started to tremble, too, and Chrisâ hold on your wrist tightened to keep it steady.
âDoesnât matterâ, finally, tears started to fall from Chrisâ eyes, and his voice broke a bit when he spoke to you. âI wanted you dead. Even if I didnât know, I was trying to kill youâ.
You shook your head, closing your eyes tightly.
Maybe, if you closed them hard enough, youâd realise this was all a dream, a horrible nightmare you could still wake up from.
âWhy donât you kill me instead?â You mumbled after a while, when you finally opened your eyes. âI, too, was trying to kill the man that I loveâŚâ
âI canât stop protecting Seungmin. I wonât stop. Iâm the only thing keeping you from reaching your target, pretty. Look at usâŚâ Chrisâ thumb softly caressed your wrist, right on the sliver of skin your gloves exposed. âLook at our positions. You know you already wonâ.
You shook your head again, and Chris pushed on your wrist, further digging the blade into his skin as he mumbled, âDo itâŚâ
He was right, you had the upper hand. Logically, it made sense for you to kill him, but there was no way you would. What a selfish thing for him to ask⌠Did he think getting to Seungmin was more important than his own life? That youâd be fine justâŚtaking it?
Yanking your wrist out of his grip, you threw your knife to the side, as far away from you as possible. Chris just looked at you, confused, hurt, and you just couldnât bear to see that look in his eyes. In an instant, you were standing, finally getting off of him.
âBabyâŚâ You mumbled, trying to steady the sound of your voice. You turned your back to him, unable to look at him any longer. âIâm sorry⌠I donât think Iâll make it to our vacation this weekendâ.
With that, you started walking, trying to get as far away from that stage as possible.
The last thing you heard before you left the theatre altogether was the cacophony of sounds produced by what you knew to be the erratic smashing of piano keys, a complete contrast to the soothing melody youâd been listening to when you came in here⌠That soothing melody that you now knew was being played by Chan, by Chris, by your biggest rival who turned out to also be the love of your life.
As you left, with tears in your eyes, with your heart shattered in your chest, you realised that this was the first time youâd truly lost. There had been no room for you to win since the very beginning.

Invictus: Author's Note
Now that we've all survived the horrors, I figured I'd do a bit of a commentary on Robin's nightmare below the cut...
I guess the central themes we were going for within Robin's dream were threefold; the fact that he feels lonely/alone with the burden of his gift, that he's worried about Alex, and that his friends (and some other's) are annoying/confusing him, so let's break that down to begin with.
Robin was always destined to be the last one alive, mostly to compound his feelings of desolation, but also because planning/executing various endings would've taken way longer than 2-3 months to plan on my own đ
He doesn't dare tell anyone about his abilities due to the fear of being judged or ostracised and I don't blame him. Most people wouldn't believe him, and those that might would probably avoid him or at least act differently around him even if they supported him; he's also paranoid that if a medical professional found out, they'd want to study him or god knows what else, hence the scepticism from the group when he told them (in the nightmare) and his twisted view of Doctor Abbott (who's actually a perfectly lovely psychologist in the waking world).
Alex hasn't written for over six months at this point and Robin doesn't know why; it's not as if they've slowly been losing touch over time with less and less communication either, her letters stopped without warning! Half of him expects there to be a reasonable explanation, but he can't help worrying. Clearly his subconscious mind ran away with all that concern...
Robin's classmates personalities were spot on (thanks to Robin's gift) but slightly exaggerated since each one of them is a proverbial thorn in Robin's side at the moment.
Levi: Extra impulsive, standoffish and contradictory within Robin's dream, I think it's fairly obvious Robin's still pissed at his friend. I toyed with the idea of Robin being the only one to make decisions that we could vote on, but thought the loss of control he'd feel from not being able to stop bad outcomes from happening off the back of other people's choices was far more apt. Levi continues to tread a questionable path irl and Robin can't stop him.. if only he'd just apologise!
Penny: Robin strongly dislikes Penny, hence her being super annoying.. not that she's much better in the waking world! If the psychic doesn't rate someone, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet they're not such a great person.. I'm sure he wishes his friend wasn't so into her đ
Aster: I think the fact that Aster's stood up for Robin twice now had a big impact on how he acted; he tried to keep the peace where he could and was the only one who supported Robin after he'd told the group about his gift. Robin doesn't know him very well outside of his dream though, so some of this could just be a projection based on what little evidence he has đ¤ˇââď¸
Jacob: Robin's a bit annoyed/put off by Jacob right now.. he barely spends any time with him and Jude anymore and as they've gotten older, their personalities appear to be veering in different directions. He's volatile, haughty and obsessed with girls, hence his distrust toward Robin after the revelation of his gift and his less-than-stellar treatment of Tess.
Tess: Tess goes where Jacob goes, simple! Though Robin feels bad for her because he knows that she's way more into Jacob than he is and he's not faithful; that's why he so obviously dismisses his own girlfriend within the dream. In the waking world he's much more convincing, but Robin knows better.
What the hell was "x" about?
The dolls - they were usually found pointing toward danger and/or bad decisions, but did we listen? NOPE! Instead we chose to vilify them đŠ
The Lab - this was actually a warped version of the seed vault/hydroponic garden Robin, Wren & Oscar explored in Granite Falls. That's why the retina detection system recognised him, 'cause he has technically been there before. I'm not a professional, so don't quote me on this, but apparently our minds can't conjure up people/places/things from nothing, so what we usually see in our dreams is stuff we've seen before or an amalgamation of various things mashed together, even if we don't actively remember them.
The Asylum - Sunnyside Asylum is a real place Robin read about on a late night internet delve down a rabbit hole (don't judge him, we've all done it) he just forgot he'd read about it or seen it before đ¤ˇââď¸
The butterflies - they're Alex's favourite animals (along with the humble moth!) so Robin thought they were leading him to her, but they were not ;-;
"So, I suppose you know-..." - what was Aster going to say!? Aster was about to assume that Robin knows he has a crush on him, and he'd be correct! Robin never really picked up on it before, but after recent events it's pretty obvious.. to Robin at least! Does he like Aster back? Well, maybe he doesn't know yet, or maybe it's a secret, but (spoiler alert) Robin's pansexual, so there's a chance he could.
Doctor Abbott - briefly mentioned before, but let's dig deeper!
Dr. Abbott is the psychologist Oscar/Courtney sent Robin to a while back for his selective mutism after it started hindering him/his schoolwork etc since starting high school. He's terrifying simply because Robin's terrified of him-.. though I suppose not him personally. Robin's torn between a rock and a hard place when it comes to professional help; on the one hand he'd love to offload all his troubles and get some real guidance, but the other side of him worries what that'd mean. He can't tell anyone the full story, so how could anyone truly help him? Is his mutism even connected to his gift, or does he just use it as a convenient excuse? What if they didn't believe him and labelled him insane? What if he IS insane and imagining everyone else's thoughts? What if they do believe him and want to experiment on him?! đą If he's gonna tell anyone about his abilities, it sure as shit isn't gonna be some stranger he doesn't trust, even if it appears they mean well! He'd love to know where his gift came from though. Why him? Where'd it come from? Does anyone else have it?? He doubts anyone would be able to answer these questions but it still kinda ties into the whole theme of being experimented on etc. I think at this point he's wondering who he is (as every teen does around his age) or who he'd be without his abilities too, like another part of him is worried he'd be a mere husk of himself if science somehow explained away his world. It's just a part of who he is now and I think he's starting to accept himself as is, so the thought of someone picking it all apart after his acceptance is perhaps more scary than letting anyone in to help make sense of it. Maybe it's just one of those things, or maybe he's bonkers and has no idea? He doesn't know.. he's very confused, hence the complicated feelings around poor, well-meaning Dr. Abbott.
Mr Handy - he gets an honourable mention because it's funny to me.. like he's usually on the players side, right?! Yeah, but Robin isn't fond of technology in general so in dreamland good ol' Mr Handy is a dickhead instead lmao đ
Some fun what if's & titbits...
I'm not gonna break down all the what if scenarios because there were a LOT but I still wanna take some time to point out some fun stuff n' share a few fun things we missed out on đ¤¸ââď¸
If Levi tried to scare Robin, it wouldn't have worked in the slightest which I just find amusing đ¤
If Robin n' co. chose to hide instead of run earlier on in the dream, he would've gotten stuck in a closet with Aster eheuheuheu (this is the fun thing I said y'all missed out on!!)
There were numerous ways for Levi to piss Penny off during the duration of the dream (somehow he only managed one so well done ig) that would've potentially changed their demise and one was Tess falling off the ladder and Levi helping her.. look at those mad lil fists on Penny LMAO đ You can also see another lovely doll pointing in the direction of the monster that was chasing them but everyone would've been like ewwww! even tho she was just trying to help.. shame on us tbh ;-;
Just Aster being cute tryna keep the peace.. IF HE'D SURVIVED! T-T
Mr Handy being absolutely demented.. love that for him.
Robin being yeeted back to the asylum.. skjsk idk I just like these screenshots lmao
Aster being a menace to both Levi and Penny ehehe
I had such fun creating this little project (I say little but it literally took months fkfjgkj) and October was kinda shitty for me so thank you to everyone for reading along, voting and generally having fun with me, it gave me something to look forward to! đ§Ą
I love horror and taking a break from a more realistic style of storytelling is always good fun, dreams especially 'cause they can be as wacky as you like!
I suppose my main inspo for the what if's/voting was Until Dawn but I think we can all thank games like Silent Hill, Outlast, Resident Evil, Amnesia etc etc for the general vibes I was going for đ¤
EITHER WAY! Very fun.. 10/10 would recommend trying to stretch yourselves into doing something something similar, I had a blast!
I think I covered a fair amount of questions n' stuff but feel free to ask anything else! ILY đ§Ąđ§Ą

Hey, could I request Bi Han/Sub Zero romantic headcannons with a male reader who is his right hand man and childhood friend?
Bi-Han / Sub-Zero with a boyfriend who's his childhood friend
Note(s) : I'm gonna be honest, I don't really like him, but I want to try and be a better writer by writing about characters I don't like. Please, give me critiques on how I wrote him!
First of all, he was incredibly moody as a child already, not exactly of his own volition having a dad like his would ruin any kid, so if you can't handle people who are mean on purpose? You'd have a REALLY hard time getting along with him.
Bi-Han was always brooding, in the corner with a frown, he eats with a frown, sleeps frowning, talks to his brother's frowning, the only time he's ever smiling is either in private or when it's just him and Kuai Liang, but it doesn't happen that often any more after his dad died.
To befriend him, you'd either need to be a part of the Lin Kuei, either born into the clan, maybe the son of one of the lower Lin Kuei members, or found and taken in by the clan, or somehow be involved with one of the Lin Kuei's missions.
It's a long and slow process, but even just talking to him once a day will eventually gain a semblance of trust, it'll be hard to show it, and he mostly does by standing next to you and sometimes agreeing with you, but these things will take time.
By your teenage years, you two began training together, maybe he tends to be a little rougher than other Lin Kuei, and maybe he's broken your nose once, twice, possibly even thrice before, but he did apologise, eventually.
He would confide in you about troubles with his brothers, well, he insists that Smoke isn't a brother and more like a stray even though that's just not true, but Bi-Han would be awkward and reserved about talking with you.
He feels that this isn't your business, and not only that, he feels like you just... Wouldn't get it? While he understands you may have issues of your own, his situation is rather unique.
His troubles mainly consist of Kuai Liang and Tomas upholding tradition, Bi-Han believes that his brothers view tradition higher than him, and even though he's grandmaster, that they don't take his opinions into account.
Of course, this is ludicrous, his brothers follow his every word and typically offer little resistance, though, if you try to tell him that he will just storm off and claim he was right all along and that you don't understand. He'll eventually come to his senses and realise what you said was true, but, won't apologise.
If you agree with him, or at least say you do, he'll murmur a gruff complaint about his brother's and then you'll sit in silence for a while.
By the time MK1 rolls around, he's fairly jaded, he doesn't like talking to his own brothers, he dislikes them a fair amount actually, but he still loves them, or, at least he holds love in his heart for Kuai, he still hates Smoke.
Bi-Han doesn't know exactly what he feels for you, he knows it's not friendship, but at the same time, he's never really had friends before, so, he can't be sure. All he understands is that he values you, and more importantly, your opinion, if you disagree with him it may hurt his pride, but please, stay firm, he comes around eventually, only with you.
He wants to wait for something, that maybe proves you may love him, because when that rolls around, he can fully decide whether to act on his emotions or not.
You most likely accompany the trio to stop Shang Tsung, and you'll most likely be there when Bi-Han betrays the Lin Kuei. Obviously, you choose to stay with him, and, it breaks Smoke and Scorpions heart, they may not have known you too well, but, they knew you were one of the only things that would stop him from going down that path.
In a way, you both failed them that day.
Now, after proving your loyalty to him, you're basically his right hand man and oversee a lot of the clan, you train young and old recruits, you maintain a harsh schedule everybody is expected to follow, you help Bi-Han with whatever he needs, and sometimes need to force him to take a day off.
By the way, he won't let you say his actual name, you always have to either call him Sub-Zero or Grandmaster, depending on if you're on a mission or not, his name is personal to him, a core part of his identity, and, until you're closer, he feels awkward letting you call him Bi-Han.
During this, he becomes even more angry, even more distant, even with you, and it may take pushing, reminding him of your childhood spent together, for him to crack.
He won't come crying into your arms, he doesn't beg for forgiveness or want any, he just sits there, and begins to rant. He rants about how he feels like, if he was a better grandmaster, his brothers would have joined him, if he was a better grandmaster, maybe he wouldn't have joined Shang Tsung, and wouldn't have been tempted by his lies.
You hold a hand to his shoulder, and you confess, you tell him what you think about him, how you feel about his temptation into evil by Shang Tsung, and even though he doesn't want forgiveness, you give it.
And, with permission, you hold his hand. It's a small step, but, it's the most contact you two will have together for a long time.
Now, he gives you small smiles in private, nothing wide, but something so tiny it's hard to differentiate from not having an expression at all, he gives you some time off, more than he gives himself, anyway, and more importantly? He feels himself relaxed around you.
Telling a joke that would once make him scoff and walk away now makes him let out a gruff and amused noise, it's a mix between a laugh and breath of air, and he only does it for you.
Dinners with him are less awkward, when before you would sit in silence, hesitantly taking bites from food. You two now chat quietly about your day, each recruit, and sometimes about each other. You can actually enjoy the food and his presence.
He lets you call him Bi-Han now, not in public, but, when you two are alone, in a hallway, in your rooms, having dinner or breakfast privately, whichever situation calls for you two to be alone, he lets you call him by his name, and, it makes him feel vulnerable. It makes him feel loved.
He's always held your opinion in high regard, but now, it's honestly the only one that matters besides his own, and he does, silently, hope you aren't so tempted by power like he is.
Bi-Han may take longer to kiss or cuddle you than what most would consider normal, he loves you, he knows he does now, but, he's nervous, no, he's afraid. He knows he's a rough man, and he knows how uncaring and even violent he is and can come across as, so, naturally, he tries to avoid the subject. He doesn't want to do anything without your consent, but he's also far too afraid to ask.
It will take you to ask him, you'll need to make the first move, and when you do ask him for that first kiss, he gives you that small, hardly noticeable smile, and you both lean in, closing your eyes...
It's awkward. Maybe you know how to kiss, maybe you don't, but Bi-Han definitely doesn't, and, it shows. He feels slightly embarrassed at how lost he is, but, you two can learn together, and even just telling him, hey, maybe it wasn't the best, but, we can learn together, lifts his spirits an unnatural degree.
For the next week, the schedules become less strict for most Lin Kuei members, and any mess ups are met with less harsh, but still kind of harsh, punishments.
Kissing is basically ingrained into your schedule now, once in the morning on the cheek before breakfast, maybe once at lunch if it's a tough day, and always a peck on the lips at night before bed.
It takes less time to cuddle if you've already kissed before, sure, it still takes a bit long, but, so do most things with this man. Maybe it starts with holding his hand, or, sitting on his bed and talking about things, training gets hard sometimes, so perhaps you're just a bit tired.
You look up at him and quietly ask if you can just lay down for a while, or, maybe you just lay down yourself and wait for any objections, either way, he lets you lay down, and eventually, lays down next to you. Your hands hold each other tightly, your head is resting on his shoulder and it feels strangely perfect, despite how stiff his shoulders are.
This becomes semi natural in your schedule, but only after a long day, cuddling each other until you or him are on the brink of sleep, and then you return to your bed. You two still sleep in separate beds, that's just how he prefers things, no matter how much he trusts you, it's just more comfortable.
I'd recommend cuddling in summer, because, he's insanely cold and the winter is not at all suited for cuddle sessions between you two.
It takes a bit for you two to start calling each other 'boyfriend', not because Bi-Han doesn't consider you his lover, and therefore boyfriend, but because he sort of just assumes that kissing, cuddling, all of that, makes you together automatically, and, he doesn't like announcing his relationships.
It's not like he's embarrassed of you, he seriously isn't, but, you're the only person who sees the vulnerable side of him, and he prefers to keep it that way. None of the other Lin Kuei members, god forbid any one else, deserves to know your relationship with each other.
Dates are rare, extremely rare, you two have major responsibilities within the clan, and, Bi-Han doesn't trust anybody enough for them to run it while you two are away, so, the most date-like thing you'll experience is eating dinner together after every one has had theirs and left.

Adventures of YOUR part time job in the Lookismverse: Part 2
Part 1 here. G/N. You still work the graveyard shift in a convenience store. Some bizarre characters return. Part 3
Your first day on the job, your boss had told you to greet everyone that comes through the door in a cheery voice and with a customer service smile. All you could think was fuck that.
He told you it was so people could approach you for help, as if your uniform wasn't a huge flashing sign, and so potential shoplifters would be deterred. Again you think, fuck that, because at the first whiff of any danger you're going to go hide somewhere secure and out of sight. There ain't no way you're risking your life for a minimum wage part time job.
Except now you're on your own and sure it comes with a little bit of danger and wariness but you don't have to and don't plan on greeting any people again.
So you thought.
.
.
You spot him a fucking mile away. DG strides through the doors and you're not sure to ignore him completely or to say anything.
It's like he wants you to acknowledge him from the furtive glances he keeps giving you but something about his shifty behaviour makes you keep your mouth shut.
Heavens, hasn't this guy ever heard of subtle. He's in an all white get up once again, hat on, mask on and the most eye-catching blinging Chanel necklace known to man. You think you might go blind if you stare too much at it.
So does he want attention or not?
"Hi," he says, standing in front of the counter. He's empty handed.
You want to say 'Hi DG, going for discreet tonight huh?' or 'Sorry your last album sale sucked' or 'I heard they're cancelling you for bad mouthing BTS'. None of them feel right. You settle on "Welcome. How can I help?"
He asks if you recognise him this time and from the way your eyes bug out to say obviously, he then proceeds to ask how.
You pause because you don't know whether this guy is serious or whether there's a hidden camera somewhere.
After what feels like ten minutes, but in reality is probably ten seconds, you gesture at him. At everything. His hair, his white outfit, his necklace. Itâs not exactly like heâs going to blend in with the crowd, is it?
He gives you a nod and leaves.
You watch him exit and proceed to climb into the flashiest car you have ever seen, parked right in front and across three (one, two, THREE!) handicap bays.
You think he's most definitely an attention seeking narcissist.
.
.
The guy that bleeds all over your floor comes in again.
You know it's him because he apologises for bleeding all over your floor and that he scared you so much you called the police. In all honesty, you completely forgot about it but even the mere mention of that pisses you off.
"It's fine," you tell him even though it's not, not really, but at least this time he's not bleeding and he has apologised twice already so as long as he's not gonna be weird, you'll accept his apology.
Except he does turn out to be a weirdo because he gives you a grin and you think he looks pretty cute even with his lip and nose scar, then he makes it weird with a wink and you think what even is this, who winks at people anymore.
He must have mistaken your cringe for encouragement though, as he continues to ask if you need any help with your shift and he can call the boys to help you out tonight as an apology for the other week.
You're not sure if this is a pick up line or if it's a threat. Either way, you decide it's the latter as you make up your mind that he must be a psychopath because only a psychopath would wink at strangers.
You tell him no. He doesn't seem deterred and tells you his name is Jake. Your first thought is to cover the name badge pinned to your chest but he's too quick. He says your name, and that he hopes to see you again.
You give him a nod and hope he leaves.
.
.
This oddball in sunglasses is unbearably smug as he slides his ID over to you.
You check out the date of birth and it's fine.
"It checks out," you give his ID back and ask him to pay for his cigarettes.
"Don't you have anything else to say?"
You frown at him because what does he want you to say? Like oh I knew you were a Capricorn (or is it Aries or Cancer. You don't know, you don't really know your signs). Or does he want you to comment that it's a flattering picture of him on the card because in all honesty, it's not.Â
Still, he obviously expects something because he's standing there not doing anything.
"We take cash, card or you can pay through your phone."
That isn't what he's looking for. He tenses up, and you think he rolls his eyes at you but he's got sunglasses on-
Oh. This black eyed bastard. Does he expect an apology for the last time? Well you're not apologising for shit, you're just doing your job. It doesn't matter if he's of age. Rules are rules. No ID, no sale.
You stare at him instead with your polite customer service smile that actually means leave me alone. He stares back.
You stare. He stares back.
You stare - and you think that you must look like an idiot just standing there with a vacant smile but it's worth it in the end because the guy sighs, pays for his cigarettes and leaves.
Good. You hope he chokes on the smoke.
When your temper has cooled, you also feel a pang of sympathy as you wonder what sort of hard life he has had to look like that at 20. Poor guy, he really should quit smoking.
.
.
You're sitting outside on the curb on your break. It's technically loitering, your manager told you the first time he saw you and you consider hitting him because not only do you have to stand under terribly unflattering lights and deal with the goddamn general public for hours - now you can't even sit outside and breathe some fresh air?
Somehow you manage not to, which means you never got arrested for assault and that's pretty good, you suppose. It's nice to not be arrested.
Anyway, he's not here now, and he's not here most shifts so you loiter to your heart's content. You make sure to loiter extra hard tonight.
"What about this? So much better than fucking Duke Pyeon, right?" Someone comes up to you with music blaring out of tinny speakers. You consider sprinting back and locking yourself in the store. It's 4am and nothing good comes from speaking to strangers at 4am who like to blare shitty music.
Except he's not a stranger because you recognise the music style. It's so bad that you know that there is no way two different people on Earth would come up with the same sound. In fact, it actually gives you such a visceral reaction that you look for anything close by to jam in your ears.
There's nothing and you want to cry. For a brief moment you consider bashing your head into the ground.
You hold back, contemplate saying it's fine except you can't bring yourself to lie when itâs so clearly not. Itâs not fine at all. You think it might be what the military or covert agencies play to torture people.
You don't look at him, keeping your eyes glued to anywhere but his face and mumble your break is over and rush back in.
He doesn't follow you and you give a brief thanks to whatever great overlord is looking over you and protecting your sense of hearing.Â
You wonder if that guy is actually part of an elaborate plan from your boss as punishment for loitering, or if he somehow knew you took an extra seven minutes on your break yesterday and heâs now taking extra precautions so youâre not stealing any more company time.
.
.
The hair dye guy is back, this time buying another colour.
You recognise him from the H on his forehead and you know that he has unsuccessfully dyed his hair because if his hair looked like that last time then there's no way you would have even noticed the H.
It's awful. Blotchy and patchy and you're certain that you don't stock that colour. How on earth...
He tells you he's studying to be a hairdresser.
You never used to think hair could feel pain, but you distinctly hear millions of tiny screams from your own head when it realised this butcher might one day get his hands on innocent people's locks.
.
.
Just when you're on your way home, one foot out the door, you hear someone call you.
"It's me, Y/N!"
Maybe the voice should be familiar but you don't place it at all. You look at the guy towering in front of you with a blank face.
"Daniel." he says, as if that should jog your memory.
Who?? You say nothing.
"Daniel Park." You look him up and down and think what the fuck, this isn't right.
"Daniel. Park." he stresses as if you're the insane one and it's perfectly acceptable for apparently some guy you haven't seen for a year to say hi but look completely different and sound completely different.
You're not an idiot. You know puberty is a thing but jesus christ. It can't be him. Even the bone structure is completely different.
"Ok." you say because you're still not sure if this guy is Daniel or whether he's just crazy. You're 99% sure it's the latter and keep one hand in your pocket, ready to attack with pepper spray.
Although if this is Daniel Park, you wonder how good the plastic surgery technology is these days because you wouldn't mind adding an extra inch or two to your height.
"I'm just in the middle of working out," he says, "in a junkyard." he adds and you wonder what is happening in the world. This guy is definitely insane.
You're a second away from pulling out the spray but then he tells you he's gotta go or else he's going to get beat up (Again. What the fuck.). He says it's good to see you and you tell him likewise because that's the correct thing to say.
You hope you never see this crazy person again but most importantly you think about resigning because this store just seems like a magnet for freaks.
Maybe you can get a job at your boyfriend's Taekwondo studio. Surely the fact you know nothing about Taekwondo wouldn't be an issue.

I Want To Hold Your Hand
When Joe walked in just after three, he greeted Anne who was stood behind the counter, doing some till work, and he got a small grunt in reply.
Standard. Made him smile. No sign of you, though.
Joe looked, craned his neck, but every corner of the store was empty. You were probably doing something in the back. Heâd see you in a second.
Like always, he found a book, found a seat, and settled in for at least an hour of reading. He had the time today. Time to sit. Time to read. To soak up the atmosphere. To maybe kiss you again, if he was lucky. Time to notice how Anne was being more quiet than usual. To see how she was helping customers in a voice so unnatural to her own, it kind of freaked him out a little. To see her disappear into the back and come out back on her own, and...
Where were you?
Heâd kissed you a few days ago. Kissed you. And now, something felt... weird. Like something was missing.
It was nearing in on 4PM and Anne hadnât yet told him to fuck off, or whatever, so he knew something was off.
It was quiet in the store when Joe spoke up and asked, âHey, Anne... am I going insane, orââ
âItâs your fault.â she was quick to cut him off, not even looking up from her task.
Joe frowned. What had he done?
âWhat have I done?â
Anne sighed and gestured a vague hand at him as she said, âJust your mere existence.â like it was obvious.
Joe thought back to all of your recent interactions. Your granddad had sadly passed away just over two weeks ago. Last week he tried cheering you up by showing you some pictures from the shoot you allowed him to do in the store. Heâd kissed you then. The funeral had happened, and Anne had let Joe help out behind the till for a second and... now, you were... hiding?
From him?!
Surely not.
That was going to make this plan of sneaking another kiss absolutely impossible.
Unacceptable.
Anne watched Joe go through every single thing heâd done or said over the past few days that couldâve upset you, and then begrudgingly sighed.
âYouâre such an idiot.â Anne said, before nodding her head towards the door that read personnel - the same door Joe had walked through ten seconds into his first ever visit.
Joe didnât need telling twice.
When he stepped into the breakroom, he wasnât prepared for how he found you.
You were sat at the table, buried in your laptop, one leg up on the chair, chin resting on your knee, and it was obvious youâd been crying. No matter how sweetly you smiled at the sight of him, it was obvious. Your face still eyed somewhat blotchy, eyes void of make-up and the delicate skin around them coloured red.
âHey,â you didnât seem surprised at the sight of him, at the fact that heâd just walked right into a room he technically wasnât really allowed to be in.
âHey, youâ Iâm sorry, you werenât in the store, Anne said I couldâ... are you all right?â
Your smile grew as you nodded.
âYea, sorry. Something, happened... earlier, itâs nothing,â you were quick to wave a hand, dismissing whatever had gotten you to hide in the back entirely. âIâm okay. How are you?â
Joe didnât believe you. Didnât buy it for a second. He felt like he should, because it felt like it was polite to take you for your word, but he couldnât help the suspicious narrowing of his eyes.
âWhat happened?â
âWell, nothing, really. I overreacted to something andââ
âTo what?â Joe interrupted, and immediately apologised. âSorry, I... Iâm sorry, I just...â
He just, what? If Joe knew, he wouldâve told you, but it was not that long ago that Joe found you crying in a closed store and this felt oddly similar.
He didnât like you upset.
Made him want to fix it.
âI promise Iâm okay, just... it was for the best for me to not face any customers for a second, and I had to do some administrative work anyway, so...â
Joeâs eyes fell on your laptop as you gestured at it, and then he saw what was next to it.
He recognised it instantly.
The book youâd never sell.
Was it insane to think that he knew something was missing in the storefront? That heâd subconsciously noticed that it wasnât in its spot? On the shelf? Where it always sat?
Probably was.
âOh, um...â you saw Joeâd noticed and laid a flat palm on the leather-bound cover. âYea, this was,â you had to stop to swallow.
âYou donât have to tell me.â Joe quickly decided. He didnât want to make you start crying again. He wanted exactly the opposite, actually.
âNo, itâs notââ you cleared your throat and sat up straight. You didnât want to get emotional again over such a silly thing. âItâs Anne. She sat me down here and refuses to let me do anything else.â
You used her as you excuse. You werenât lying; Anne really had said that you could stay in the breakroom for the rest of the day. Sheâd man the front on her own fine. Would find you with questions but then would tell you everything was going okay and leave you on your own again. But she wasnât keeping you there. You were keeping you there.
âAh. Canât piss off Anne, can we?â Joe smirked slightly.
âI think we piss off Anne all the time,â you laughed, and it broke the tension a little.
Joe awkwardly stood in the middle of the breakroom and you were sort of glad he was there, but you wished you wouldâve just been in the storefront with him. That you wouldâve gotten to see his face as heâd walked in. As heâd sat down with his book. As heâd crossed his legs and let his head rest in his palm of which the elbow pushed into the armrest.
Joe was still staring at where your hand was placed, and now that you couldnât seem to move your hand away from the big book of fairytales and folklore your granddad used to read you stories from, it felt only fair to explain why youâd gotten upset earlier that day.
âSomeone tried to buy it.â
It was so stupid, because, before, when someone would climb up a ladder and find it, you would smile and just tell them, âNo sorry, that one belongs to the store, Iâm afraid.â and calmly take it from their hands to put it back.
Where your granddad used to make you reach for it when you were little.
Where your mother would pluck you from a ladder and scold her father for making you climb up so high.
Where it lived.
Where it had always lived.
It had never been a problem before. People were allowed to touch it. To read it. To ask to buy it. Youâd just tell them no, and that would be the end of it.
Not today, though.
âThey caused a bit of a scene when I said they couldnât.â
You smiled as you said it, but Joe saw right through it.
âThey were right though. Why keep a book in a bookstore when itâs not for sale? Itâs right in between all of the books that are... I should just, I donât know. Keep it some place else, I guess.â
âOf course not.â Joe reacted matter-of-factly.
Youâd just gone through something extremely traumatic, were still going through something extremely traumatic, and why would you listen to someone who didnât know? Who didnât understand?
Joe thought he barely even understood, but he understood this.
He understood the blotchy skin. He understood Anne banning you from your own store for the rest of the day. He understood why you werenât moving your hand from your grandfatherâs book that he used to read you your favourite story from.
âI hope this doesnât sound insensitive, but... I kind of wish Iâd have been here when that happened.â
Not so that he could be the hero. Not so that he could step in and tell them to maybe just accept what the store owner was telling them.
âI wouldâve loved to see Anneâs face.â
That made you chuckle. Anne really was your personal guard dog, as so it turned out.
âIt was a pretty great face,â you recalled, smiling to yourself. God, you really lucked out with her.
âStoreâs fairly empty now, though...â Joe pointed a casual thumb over his shoulder, and you looked at the door to where Anne still was manning the front.
You took a deep breath and grimaced a little, âYea, I know... but, I kind of... I have some things I can finish here,â you pulled your laptop towards you. âAnd weâre nearly closing, anyway, so...â
You had already decided this was going to be the place where you would do all of your work today, and didnât really want to come out of hiding. Youâd do that after Anne would lock up. When there wouldnât be any chance of the bell above the door jolting you back into your anxiety.
Joe thought for a moment. Looked at you, your laptop, your grandfatherâs book, and...
âWould you mind some silent company?â
That one other time he had found you all fragile and up in your emotions, heâd just sat down right next to you, started reading a book in silence, and it had worked. He kind of wanted to give it another go. See if it would also work a second time.
âIâ...â you faltered and looked at the wooden chairs around the table you were sat at. âThese arenât half as comfortable as the ones out front.â
âI asked, would you mind it?â Joe let his eyes twinkle, lips almost smiling. It made you drop your shoulders a bit as you relaxed at the idea of a bit of Joe in the break room, just for your comfort.
âNo, I wouldnât mind it.â you copied his tone, and Joeâs almost-smile turned into a beaming one.
âOkay, one second.â Joe said, slapping the doorframe as he passed through it, and you heard how he rushed his steps.
âNot my fault!â you heard Joe call out to Anne.
âAbsolutely your fault,â Anne calmly replied.
âNot my mere existence!â
âJust your face then.â
Joe jogged back into the breakroom with a book in hands and pulled out the chair opposite you. He sat down, found his page and gave you a last sneaky little look over your laptop screen.
Then, just like before, he offered you his hand.
His hand.
Joe laid his arm across the table, wrist up, palm open, with fingers just shy of touching your laptop.
You just looked at it a moment.
Joe didnât need to comfort you the way he had done that day, in the store, when all you could do was think about your grandfather and cry at his memories and the fact that there wouldnât be new ones made.
A customer hadnât been very kind to you today about something you felt sensitive about, and over an hour had passed already. You were fine.
But the gesture was sweet. Joe offered his hand for holding and even though it wasnât needed, necessarily, it was still a nice gesture.
Kind.
Joe was so sweet. So kind. Soft and gentle and lovely.
You remembered how nice the distraction of playing fingers had been. How it had calmed you down enough for you to reveal the source of your hurt that day.
âCome on,â Joe then softly said, not unkindly, and you made eye-contact for a second. If he wasnât going to be able to kiss you today, he could still try for the next best thing.
âI want to hold your hand.â
Just like that, it all shifted from a comforting gesture that was meant to soothe you to just a thing Joe wanted for himself. It was a bit silly how that made it easier to give in.
You reached a hand over and let the tips of your fingers touch the warm skin of his palm before they spread out and found a way to hold onto Joeâs closing fingers. They curled together best they could in their position, and when you chanced another glance at Joe, you saw the faintest hint of a smile across his face as his eyes had found his page again.
You got back to your work on your laptop, and whilst it definitely was a lot trickier to work down your to do list with one hand, it was also definitely a lot more gratifying.
You sat in the breakroom together like that until you could hear Anne carry the A-frame into the store, and where before youâd wished the day had just been over already, you kind of wished youâd get at least another five minutes with Joe. All right. Maybe ten.
Joe stayed put until you closed your laptop.
Joe stayed put until you got up to go back out front.
And then Joe stayed put until you walked back into the breakroom to pick up your grandfathers big leather bound book; the one book youâd never sell.
Joe watched you place it back where it belonged.
Back on its shelf where Joe remembered finding it after your grandfather asked him to go fetch him something from up high.
âThank you.â you said looking down from you position up on a ladder, and Joe just smiled.
âThank you.â Joe said in return, holding up the book heâd been reading before putting it down on his little ledge where he kept them.
âThank me.â Anne dryly said, mostly to herself, from where she was doing the till.
âNo.â Joe gave Anne the same smile heâd given you, and made you giggle as he said goodbye and left the store with a small wave.
âThank you Anne,â you made a point to say it, because Anne really had been the star of the show today.
âThank you so much.â
âYouâre welcome.â

Angel ( frank castle x reader )
SUMMARY : When frank meets Matt murdock's sister , he become intrigued more and more as he's around the so called angel of hell's kitchenÂ
warnings : violence , fighting etc . mutual pining
Enemies to lovers
Eye scanning over the sign in such pride yet the occasion was not for such occasion , coming back to hells kitchen he was bound to find out she was home . so here Y/N stood outside NELSON AND MURDOCK LAW OFFICE ready to tell her brother she was home and a failure. The admiration didn't last long when she felt herself being pushed forward almost losing her balance completely. " asshole" she grumbled seeing the man not even stopping to apologise or even recognise his actions as he was walking into the same building .
She already rang Karen so at least one person was expecting her. Maybe the redhead could give her advice on the best way to break her news. Walking into the office she let her eyes scan around , it was the same as the pictures she was sent but being in the space physically was a whole other thing. She was proud of her brother and foggy , she used to tease the two and call them dorks all the time. Of course the same jerk from before was sitting there , deep expression on his stupid handsome face.
She rolled her eyes taking a seat barely sparing him a glance looking around to find a familiar face. She went to grab a magazine and heard a scoff looking to see the man's eyes locked on the one she had chosen . " typical" he muttered. " Excuse me, can I help you? '' she asked, almost gritted teeth . " No, just typical you type of gals go for that celebrity shit" he laughed. " You don't know me pal and all you should really be saying is sorry for nearly knocking me over but your type doesn't have a grasp on manners' ' she crossed her legs and began flipping through the articles . '' shouldn't have been standing in the middle of the sidewalk like a ditz then"he shot back . " should barge through people like you can't see them then" she growled. " Look when murdock comes, I'm seeing him first way more important than whatever you got going on" he scoffed. " how do you know what I want?" she rolled her eyes . " let me guess wanna bang pool boy and find a way out of the prenup" he chuckled. The sting of his words wasn't what she needed, not when she was looking down at the picture of her ex fiance and ex best friend's picture .
" hey y/n good to see you" Karen rushed to her side. " hey great seeing you actually i need to do something , i could meet you guys later at Josie's but don't tell my brother ok" she grabbed her things . " hey you ok" the red head face in concern til her eyes fell on the magazine. " shit i didn't know" she took it up . " i'll see you later" was all the girl called out, running out the office completely. " What's her problem?" the man scoffed. "Frank , that's Y/N as in Matt's little sister , she caught her fiance in bed with her best friend. I mean shitty enough dude's famous for some stupid business company so she has to see it everywhere" she ripped the magazine up . " ah shit" he sighed. " What did you do?" She shot the man a look . " i may have been a complete asshole and took my stress out on her, misjudged her completely too, i mean she looked at her , said she was her to get out of a prenup and banging her pool boy" he winced dodging the incoming balls of paper . " You know Matt's gonna kill you right , or she will" Karen growled, rushing off to find the woman herself.
What frank didn't expect was the two women walking backwards as a man held a gun at them . " sit there and tell me where Murdock is' ' he growled. "I'm Murdock '' her voice cool, calm and well intriguing to the man . " y/n i don't think matt can get you out of self defence murder twice '' Karen said confusing the gunman and frank castle . " i won't kill him but if he doesn't put the gun down i will severely hurt him buddy i ain't having such a great time so if you could fuck off it would be great" she huffed unbothered to the firearm directed at her. " you need help?,"Frank called both amused and curious about his tone . Usually he would handle the situation yet the women didn't seem to be worried . "No," she glared at the man . Frank watched as the man's eyes flickered between the two and her hand moved backwards feeling around the table. " Oh look it's matt" she smiled, making the man turn before she grabbed the armed hand , he watched as the magazine clip fell to the floor and she emptied the chamber in the ceiling before smashing the paper weight to the man's gut. " I warned you buddy I ain't having a good day. '' She huffed and punched him once and the man was out cold. "See I don't need your help or opinions" she turned to the man throwing the paper weight into his hands. " You should clean up" Karen winced seeing the blood on her knuckle.
" or you could explain why their bullet holes in my ceiling" she turned to see the familiar smirk of her brother . " what bullet holes, you can't see them" she rushed to him in a hug. " So if I was to stick my cane up there" he asked. " what the halloween prop you carry around" she shot back . " hey Y/N" . " Hey foggy" . " You ok?" Matt asked softly . " I mean i didn't kill him but he will have a headache" she looked down at the still unconscious man. " not what i meant" he chuckled. " I mean it sucked but Jesus those people were draining" she sighed hugging him again , he could tell she was lying but let it go as he squeezed her tighter. " Well, let's bring him to the office to see what he wants," he nodded to the man . "Well punisher there is waiting to talk to you and i need to get back to my hotel room but i'll meet you later" she walked out before they could say anything. " you told her?" Frank asked. " No, she's just good at that sort of thing," he chuckled .
Being in josie now that was way better than the gala's and pretentious socialite events. It was normal people with real life things going on . She saw her brother and the usual gang sitting as well as the man , who she now knew as Frank Castle . " hey angel's back" a voice called. " Yeah, I'm back," she laughed, heading towards the group. " Angel , devil really," Frank laughed. " except people know me" she said smiling a dig . " Hey, before I wanna apologise, I was having a bad day," he began . " and took it out on me yeah i got it" she shook her head rolling her eyes before heading to the bar before the man could even finish his apology. " hey i'm trying to be nice here" he followed. " Ok? You're still a dick , I mean I'm having a shitty time of it and I didn't take it out on those around me" she quipped. " usual please" she called. " Well then how can I make it up to you" he smiled. " Hmm that ones a thinker i'll get back to you" she smirked before taking a sip of her drink . " you're trouble," he shooting her a flirty grin . " You've no idea" she walked and left him standing there . " buddy she will have you praying" a man chuckled. " ain't that what angels are for" he chuckled, heading back to the group.
The rest of the night they let the worries of the world subside for once and enjoyed the moment . The flirty tension between Hell kitchens' own angel and the punisher was so immense that even her own brother could feel it. " I'm going to head off, I need to get up early to see some places" she yawned as they all booed. " hey i need a place to live plus you got jobs to be doing" she laughed . " Wait, I'll walk you back , lotta scary people out there" frank stood. " And I'm the scariest of them all so i'm ok" she laughed walking off . " She's not wrong," Matt snorted . " She is scary , she's made foggy cry before" Karen agreed. " that was only... five times" the man protested sloppily . " go follow after even i can see you want to" Matt teased. " Just don't sneak up on her," Foggy called. " How much is saying those two get together?" Karen asked . " We don't need to be on the obvious" Matt shook his head.
The dark streets of Hell kitchen held many memories both good and a lot of bad for the woman . passing the church seeing her standing there she shook her head still not as forgiving as her brother for the now sister's abandonment. The boxing gym her father spent time in training them both , to the old schoolyard she may have used to those lessons in .
she felt the presence following her like she was prey she felt it second she left the bar. Her brother wasn't the only one who could sense things turning to the dark alley . He stood wondering where the hell she went , one minute she was there and next gone in a split second , his boss wasn't going to be happy about that one that was for sure. Just as he walked further into the alley she watched from the shadows as he appeared making her roll her eyes she grabbed the familiar man holding her finger over her lips not to disrupt their new friend. She walked out, one movement swept his leg from under him and the mysterious man landed on his back. " Why are you following me , you know dark alleyways aren't safe right?" she asked, pressing her foot on his throat. Boss wants you , he knows you are special" the man choked out . " I mean of course I am but what does your boss think is so special?" she pushed harder. " he knows your enhanced" he spluttered and coughed. " your ex has been sharing it around sweetness everyone gonna want the angel" he grunted pulling a knife out only for her to kick it from his hand. " My ex lies honey I wouldn't listen to a word he says he told me he was eight inches " she walked just as he jumped up she swung around kicking him sending him to the ground .
" wanna tell me what that was about" Frank walked out by her side. " i may or may have not signed up for something when i was 18 turned out to be hydra and well got something extra in return" she shrugged. " extra?" . " yeah extra '' she shrugged and continued walking. They were out of the alley within seconds they were surrounded at gunpoint. " Will that extra help us here?" he asked, looking for his own plan. " can't a girl have a bit of mystery," she groaned, lifting her palms as the other men shouted for her to stop. The light on her palms glowing in a sort of purple hue as the guns they head pulled from their hands she used her other palm to pull the men to their knees as her own feet came off the ground . " You took long enough, '' she called out as the devil of hell's kitchen stepped forward. " i had a prior engagement," he gruffed. The two didn't speak for long when her hands pulled the guns apart tiny pieces falling to the ground as the men jumped up . the now devil and punisher fighting side by side in an all too familiar sequence of events . Her own feet hitting the ground panting, one of the assailants finding it the perfect opportunity to try grab her from behind that was til the back of her head hit his nose and the crack echoed through the streets before her hand grabbed his arm throwing him over her shoulder and hitting the ground with a thump . " this could have come up at any time" frank grunt dodging the incoming fists at his face . " I usually don't advertise to asshole men, I can levitate" she huffed, sending a punch to a man's gut . " Can you flirt another time?" Daredevil rasped, sending one to the ground as the three stood around now incapacitated men. " I'll leave the door open , you come on" she grabbed Frank's arm as the two walked off.
Thankfully due to the location and it being dead of night the staff in the lobby of the hotel barely batted an eyelash at their appearance when they strolled in clearly after some sort of altercation . " I'm surprised you're not an avenger or some shit" Frank quipped once both got into the elevator. " I turned them down, starks annoying" she winked until she felt the sting in her abdomen. " your bleeding heavy" he gruffed. " no shit Sherlock," she gritted . " we need to get you somewhere" he went to press the button but she grabbed his hand. " Just help me to my room" she panted, feeling the burning sensation taking over as the adrenaline was clearly wearing off. He wanted to yell at her but she knew more than he did in the situation so he held his tongue. Throwing one hand over his shoulder as his own wrapped around her waist keeping her supported, two walked down the hall as she gave directions to her room .
the minute the door shut she moved to the balcony door. Soon enough the man came in while she walked over toward the corner of the room and hands over the wound as she shoved something into her mouth. A muffled scream the men looked while a strong purple glow from her hands hit , she turned showing the bleeding stopped and the wound closed over. " See" she winced a sway in her step. " grab her she's going to pass out" Matt sighed before pulling the mask from his face. " why isn't this phasing you" frank brought her over laying her on the bed . " She's done this before huh?". " A few times actually , she nearly burned off tony stark's goatee after a comment on her ass " he walked towards the bed happy to hear everything appeared to be stable. " Why haven't you gotten her to help you out?" . " whether enhanced or not, she's my baby sister who used your brain" . " you Murdocks are trouble and pain in my fucking ass" frank huffed out pulling a bottle from the mini bar. " Well you like at least one of us and I know it's not me, '' he smirked.
" she is not safe here" he completely ignored the man's observation and sly comment . " I'll come back as well as me and we bring her back to mine , stay with her" Matt threw his mask on. " Well, where else am I going to go?" he looked up to see the man was already gone. " hate when he does that" he took his drink and seat . eyes stuck to her form how peaceful she was when her mouth wasn't running although he'd did secretly like it. But now that nickname angel made sense the ethereal effortless beauty that she had . He needed to stop staring before he got completely lost in her .
Matt returned half an hour later to some nervous looking kid driving the car as they carried her out . " how old are you 12 " Frank joked. " I'm the same age as Angel, I'm 24 sir" he squeaked out . " God Mr stark is gonna kill me" he muttered. " ok that's sorted come parker drive " matt got in the car . " She is still stable," he called back . " She hasn't woken up either, " Frank said, seeing her still sleeping head on his lap . " How's her healing factor holding? " the boy asked . " How's her, what , who is this kid". "Peter Parker sir , spiderman" he whispered in the last part . " She can heal herself," Matt added. "your fucking with me right" frank asked only for matt to lift her top slightly to show the wound from earlier was almost gone . " Anything else I'm missing here" he asked the two. "Not yet anyways thanks for lift kid" matt patted his shoulder as two got frank still carrying her as Parker drove off. " really he's the Web slinger" . " she waking up let her get inside" matt walked ahead. "Ominous asshole," Frank grumbled, stopping when he heard the little laugh . " hey if you're awake you can walk " he looked down to see her eyes shoot close making him laugh shaking his head carrying her in. " ok ok where here free ride over" she went to drop her but her feet hit the floor first.
"Little shit" he mumbled as she went straight to her bag. " oh shut up you were worried about her less than ten minutes ago" . " Worried about little old me , I'm honoured" she snorted, heading to the bathroom. " definitely a pain in my ass" he fell back on the sofa. " Yeah, tell that to you that thing you call a heart" matt chuckled. " fuck off and shut up" he added eyes locked towards the bathroom . " I hate to even say this but she's the same , she just hides it way better" Matt handed him a beer. " Who hides what better?" she asked. " Karen hides her feelings better" Matt spoke up . " Being blind didn't heighten your lying sense huh?" She took his own beer out of his hand before sitting on the sofa. " You sure he's actually blind though," Frank asked her. " finally someone else who questions it" she raised the beer up . " You two are made for each other" he walked out of the room . " we're right, I mean I changed this place around so many times and no accidents" she yelled out. "Goodnight assholes , angels don't cook, I don't need my place to burn down" he called back .
" pfft that was one extremely high as hell time and it only burned like half the kitchen down" she laughed nervously. " wait the saint in there let you get high" . " hey jesus isn't against weed , i mean i was first and last time was kinda snuck into a frat party , tried to be like yeah i'm cool , didn't end so well" she winced. " Something I gotta ask, how did you know who I was? Matt said he didn't tell you, " he asked . " I rang Matt during a time you guys were working together and well he said he was with a friend , the punisher you yelled for him to wrap it up along with more colourful words , so when i heard you today" she smiled . " Good memory," he nodded. " I've what they call the perfect brain. I don't use it that often clearly given my life choice but I remember things I hear and see made me prime candidate for that stupid trial they said it was" she grimaced . " the experiments , what made you do it?" . " Jesus, I never had so many questions and I've been arrested a lot" . " not very angel like now is it sweetheart" he teased . " I'm more fallen angel than heaven sent" she winked . " Well where did that come from then" he asked when he saw how her smile faltered. It seemed like the wrong question. " my dad called me , called me so many folks forgot i had a real name" her voice was less playful than before . " hey sorry i didn't mean to bring up anything bad for you" he rambled. " nah it's ok really , you wanna another beer , you hungry?" She stood up quickly. " I'll take the beer , I might pass on the food from that slight warning" he chuckled. " I'm ordering a pizza jackass" she rolled her eyes . " Well then yeah i could eat" . " I decide if you deserve it now" she tapped her chin walking backwards stumbling after hitting a chair . " blind my ass," she muttered as her cheek flushed and a frank laugh filled the living room.
" Hey, you're supposed to be on my side" she pouted. " with you murdock's nah" he shook his head. " oh shut up i'm already your favourite" she stuck her tongue out. " maybe" he muttered when she couldn't hear him . " I'd say we're even, I mean you being a dick at first to helping me out" she came in handing him the beer. " I think you owe me one for that actually" . " what would that be?". " I think you should let me think about that over dinner tomorrow night" he said calmly and cool yet his heart was beating so fast he was probably sure Matt could hear it and was gonna give him shit. " pick me up at 7" she played it cool and honestly glad her voice didn't betray her . " fuck it" was all she heard before her face was pulled toward him and her lips hitting his. It was sort of a kiss she never felt so much emotion in before , like maybe she was doing it totally wrong til now. She leaned more into the action tilting her head so she could deepen it. His hands gripping her waist before pulling her completely onto his lap like she was always meant to be there , the soft sigh from her lips told him she felt the same way . " NO HAVING SEX ON MY SOFA '' the yell made them stop ,foreheads resting against each other before they broke into a fit of laughter like two teenagers being caught by their parents. " would have been easier if he was deaf" she joked. " I HEARD THAT" . " to answer your question earlier , he definitely is not my favourite Murdock" he smirked before leaning up and capturing her lips again .Â

Hi first of all, I wanted to tell you how much I love your fanfictions I'm always happy to see something new (ascended astarion and astarion spawn stories are my favourites but the others are captivating too). I was wondering if you could write a story where the original Tav dies and is reborn a few hundred years later and Astarion finds her again. Maybe in a more modern setting where the prudery thing isn't quite so⌠strong
I apologise for my bad English it's not my native language I hope you can understand it anyway
âMistrial:â a Modern FaerĂťn AU
Astarion x Tav |E| 2.5K modern au
Ao3 link
Summary: Hundreds of years without her, Astarion still sits on the bench, Justice AncunĂŹn hear case after case. Until one day, that young prosecutor gets under his skin, until she confronts him after their trial, until ancient memories stir and things awaken.
A/N: Thank you to @myfavouritelunatic and @brabblesblog for their enabling and encouragement.
â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨â¨
âJustice AncunĂŹn, I have to object,â the little firecracker of a prosecutor ground her high heel into the tile of the courtroom.
Astarion shook his head, tired of her tone already on day one. âYou donât have to, counselor,â he rubbed two fingers against his silver-haired temple, âbut given that this is already your twenty-second one today, I canât say Iâm surprised.â She looked at him with sharp eyes and folded arms. The little shit. He did not care for her already.
If this had been in the good old days when FaerĂťn was at its prime and most debauched, he could have her flogged for her tone and sent to cool in the stocks. And that would have been before he had been turned into vampiric spawn, before he had become hero of Baldurâs Gate with the love of his life at his side. Helping him learn how to hide his immortality and vampirism from the public, learning how to still serve as Magistrate despite his⌠condition.
That was until time moved on, and his immortality won over the lingering bonds of love. He missed Tav, her brilliance and ferocity, her pointed ears and sweet blood, her passion in life and in the bed.
Like the blink of an eye, he moved on. City to city, career to career as hundreds of years continued their slow grind of time. Until now, now, he stared down from his bench in BGC, new finagled magic in this modern age like cars and electricity and internet. But law was law, and a judge was a judge
It was as if he never left, aside from the new spitfire attorney, just arrived from New Waterdeep, with a ferocity he would have once admired.
He just now found it tiresome. Irritating. He realized after a moment, she had the decency to wait on his final word on her request for objection. He shifted in his seat, narrowing his eyes at her. âOverruled, Counselor Ylfe.â He banged his gavel twice. âIn fact, court adjourned until tomorrow,â he stood grumbling to himself. âAt least Iâll be spared a twenty-third objection in so many hoursâŚâ
His pointed ears picked up on a high pitched scoff. âWe shall see,â that lawyer snipped to herself. But that tone, that defiance and jabbing quality⌠something piqued his interest.
Stirred his ancient memory.
He finally groaned as he rested in his chambers, only moments after shutting the doors and sliding off those scratchy robes. Gods, he missed silks and wigs and velvets. Not this cheap crap everyone wore. He went to his cabinet, taking out a discrete green bottle and pouring himself a mug of its swirling ruby contents. He popped it in his microwave, one improvement on the campfire he would not begrudge using.
Not when it made his stash of blood warm for once.
But even as it hummed, his mind kept rolling over his day. Especially that stubborn, annoying, irritating prosecutor with her defiant eyes and jutting out chin and crossed arms and swaying, perfect hips, andâŚâŚ
âJustice AncunĂŹn, I figured you would finally have a moment for us to address how to best proceed civilly in your own chambers,â his head shot up, his gaze narrowed as he watched her stride on into his offices.
Her.
âWhat in the hells are you thinking, Counselor Ylfe?â he spat, fighting hard from baring his fangs at her. A habit eroded from nearly a millennia of practice almost overturned just at the sight of her. âYou know any discourse outside of the courtroom can result in a mistrial?â
âThis isnât about the trial, this is about your abject disdain for me, personally, it would seem.â She did it again, crossing her arms and swaying her hips in that tight little black pantsuit of her hers.
Astarion let his eye wander. There was something about her⌠not many females cut so fine a figure in trousers, or slacks or whatever the fuck they were now.
Not since⌠her. The other her in his life. His true love. That was the last time he even gave a woman a second glance.
Her hair hung over her shoulder, but now, up close, he could see two pointed ears peeking through her crown of long and flowing hair. Elf. High elf.
He locked eyes with her, that piercing shade⌠his mind raced and wandered⌠flying through ancient history for some, the warmest of memories for him. Emerald Grove, Shadow Cursed Lands, the real Baldurâs GateâŚ
âDidnât you hear me, Your Honor?â she snapped at him.
Astarion shook his mess of silver locks, smiling in a way that no longer hid his fangs. âIâm afraid I was⌠lost in the sea of my long and winding memories⌠darlingâŚ.â
That made her freeze solid. Her smooth face drew into an inscrutable expression, her cherry red lips parted⌠âWhat did you call meâŚ?â
Only then did he realize the slip of his own tongue, how that pet name he vowed never to use flowed right off of it. âD-darling.â He repeated, as shocked as she was at the impropriety. âIâm sorry, Ms. Ylfe.â
âDonât be,â she instantly replied with a shake of her head. Then she smiled, even as her brows furrowed. She looked at him, at his pale face and silver hair and⌠dark brown eyesâŚ. âHave you always worn contacts, Mr. AncunĂŹn?â
âHowâŚâ but before he could interrogate that true suspicion, his microwave dinged.
âYou better get your drink, Your HonorâŚâ That lilt in her voice was new, he noted.
âIâll wait,â he shrugged. âI can always reheat it later. First Iâll have to apologize for my⌠behavior today.â
âI should hope so,â she grinned, walking around and sitting on the edge of his desk. âTreating a lady with such disdain⌠only to about face and call her darling the next moment⌠seems something only a true, black-hearted rogue would doâŚâ
âWhat?â he went rigid. Bending forward, that old instinct to fight or fly racing through his nerves after centuries.
âIâve never been a fan of contacts,â she smiled so easily as she leaned back against the top of his desk, fingers splayed on his files and papers. âBetter if you just showed the world your natural eyes, Mr. AncunĂŹnâŚ.â
His nostrils flared, his breath racing and head swimming. But this time there was no fucking tadpole, he knew that.
âWhatâs your nameâŚâ he hissed, narrowed eyes leveling at her.
âI can tell you, unless youâre bent on letting your stash of blood from getting coldâŚ. Astarion.â
His hand flew to her neck, bringing her up into his face, fangs bared, hackles raised, every long suppressed vampiric sense firing on all cylinders now as he smelled her. âName,â he commanded.
âTaveria Ylfe,â she swallowed under his hold. âBut those close to me have always called me TavâŚ.â
âTav,â her name was a gasp in his throat.
âAnd I know you,â she said, breathy and quick. âI didnât know how⌠but there was something about you that made me⌠unsettled.â
âTwenty-two objections later and you call yourself⌠unsettled?â he smirked, lightening his hold, but stroking his fingers on her skin.
Her skin.
âWell, darling,â she purred, "lifetimes of perfect memory for our kind, and I should have recognized my lover with the crimson eyes and pointed fangs.â
Astarion shook his head, swallowing the rising ball of emotion that caught in his throat. âIâd cry, but itâll make my contacts hurt,â he gave a wet laugh. His thumb traced on the side of her neck, two circle marks in her flesh, like moles or scarsâŚ
âYou found them, the brands Iâve have on my flesh ever since you, Astarion,â she added, eyes batting shut under his touch. âIâve looked for you in every lifetime, my true love with roguish swagger, red eyes, pointed fangs, and massiveâŚâ
She paused, pursing her lips.
âEgo?â he offered as an answer, but she shook her head.
âCock,â she grinned as she bit her lip.
âI was hoping youâd say that⌠darlingâŚâ He hissed as her hand grasped at the gusset between his legs. âLooking for your evidence?â he growled, a roll of his hips into the pressure of her touch. So ancient and familiar. âYouâll get it, darling, if you want itâŚâ
âI do, Astarion,â she sighed, fingers stroking back and forth on the cotton of his pants, feeling that rising erection instantly straining back.
A monsterous growl in his throat, a burning hunger in his belly, he grasped at the back of her neck, pulling her against his lips.
The age-old dance, the same taste. Closing his eyes, his body transported a millennia ago⌠as if he could smell blood and woodsmoke and magic in the air mixed with her scent. Had he suppressed so much of his senses he couldnât recognize her scent? Had he ignored the same beat of her heart in her chest, same musical rush of blood in her veins?
He shook his head to let all that go, realizing her hands already tore through her own blazer and button down, clothing now cast to the floor. Already, she had shimmied off the desk, pressing harder into his kiss. He waited for no further invitation, hands instantly sliding her slacks from her perfect curves, his own clothing suddenly feeling too tight and too abrasive.
Astarion only wanted her skin on him now. After so long. He couldnât move fast enough, his reflexes had dulled from neglect, his dexterity a fraction of what it once was with her. But it, too, slowly crept back, his hands making quick work of his own clothes.
Suddenly, those fingers remembered the smoothness of her skin, rekindled their dexterity. His hand clawed into her hair, the other stroked down her belly, backing her perfect body to perch on the edge of his desk. The gasp he drew from her lips as he sank two fingers into her folds woke something feral in him, something ancient. Vampiric.
âTav,â he hissed, nuzzing against the music of her artery, rubbing along the stream of her blood in her neck. âMay I, pleaseâŚâ
âMmm, I want to see your real eyes before you take anything of mine, Astarion,â she purred, arching against him. One hand splayed on the desk behind her, she smirked and watched. Never had anyone removed contacts so quickly, so dexterously.
As he blinked, her heart poured open. That scarlet glare, that tilted head, those mussy silver curls. âI canât believe itâs youâŚâ she sighed.
His eyes went wide, shining in his unshed tears and well of emotion. âIâm so tired of words, Tav,â he replied, voice cracking with that exhaustion and unbridled desire now. âJust give me all of you, to lose myself in, to lose these long and draining years in, years without you.â
Not another word as said, nothing but the groans of their joining once more, the shudder of their bodies as they fucked, the creaking of the wood beneath her as he slammed his hips against it. Cock buried deep in her cunt, fangs digging into her neck.
Both parts of her were hot and leaking. Blood spilled from his mouth once moreâwarm and fresh and sweetened with her taste. Arousal leaked into the wood beneath them, her musk and sweat the only perfume he longed to smell.
He swirled his tongue over his bite marks, fresh bleeding wounds that swallowed those scars she was born with. A lasting brand on her skin as she had forever been on his heart, his soul.
He couldnât bring her close enough to him, fingers clawed into her ass to keep her from sliding away with his frantic thrusts. And she had already wrapped herself around his waist, already scratched up the places of his back that werenât riddled with scars still. Clutching him tightly to never lose him again.
Their lips were sealed together, locked as they sucked and moved and danced in their ancient kiss, the taste of her blood sending them both reeling into oblivion. She keened as her walls spasmed around his cock, that familiar ripple and beat of her climax pressing against his every wild and erratic thrust.
His forehead resting against her shoulder, the scent of her blood there was the last little push he needed, losing himself in the trembling warmth and comfort and pull of her body. His cock pulsed hard inside her, thrumming against her muscles as he came harder than anything for a thousand years. Forcing his head back up, he locked eyes with her, face twisting and arms shaking as he came. Lips pulled back to show those glistening and reddened fangs.
Her hand braced hard at the back of his neck, keeping her with him as his hips thrust, slowing as he emptied into her. At last he stilled, a foolish, young smile on his gaping lips, lips he licked clean.
He would tell her sometime, how she had made his undead heart remember how to beat and love again twice now. How she brought him back to life over and over again. But with that haze in her eyes, the way she clenched still around his cock, he knew this wouldnât be the end of their reunion.
Thank the gods.
Lips curling as she met her mouth in a kiss, she drew him in again for more. âI have a hotelâŚâ she whispered.
âAnd I have a penthouse, darling,â came his instant reply between her ravenous caresses.
âHmm,â she laughed deep in her throat, their kiss still working slowly, unable to break apart once more. âAs long as you keep it cleaner than your tent once was, I accept. Someplace for us until the morning when we return to courtâŚâ
His fingers, coated in the scent of her arousal, stayed her mouth. âTch, surely even a young thing like you knows this will end in mistrial now,â he smirked. âNot even I can think of a clause that allows for lost soul mates to continue in court after suchâŚâ he glanced at the mess between their legs, ââŚdebauchery.â
âOh well,â she feigned disappointment, sliding off to retrieve her clothes. âWorth itâŚâ
Suddenly his arms gripped her, pulling her by the swell of her ass, flush against his naked body one more time. âItâll be days before either of us must return to court⌠long, exhausting, pleasure-filled days, darling.â
Tav dove up for his kiss, standing in her tiptoes to meet that smirk that haunted her for centuries. âYou better hurry me away to your place, Astarion, or someone will find us here making up for lost time.â
Reluctantly and with a deafening sigh, he relented, busying himself to dress again.
âOh,â she commented, that taunting tone in her voice, âand donât think I missed how you never answered it your place was still a mess of chaos again.â
He turned, shaking his head as he refastened his belt. âWell, even if you are disappointed in that regard, I can assure youâŚâ he gave her that look, those half-lidded eyes, that sharpened fanged smirk, âyou wonât be left wanting in other regards.â

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
Okie dokie my lovely readers! Here is chapter Five of Dating App now it does end a little on a non suspenseful cliffhanger and I promise that the next chapter will be worth the wait!
So there is also about a three week timeskip at the start and about three days around the half way point of this chapter.
Warnings: Masturbation. Dirty minds. Semi public (in office behind a closed door).
Master List
Prompt List
One , Two , Three , Four , Six , Seven , Eight, Nine, Ten
It had been almost three weeks since you had been able to see Rafael, the two of you had messaged back and forth every day. You had learned a lot about the man, such as the fact that he needed at least three coffees a day more often than not that was the minimum requirement, one of them had to be as soon as he wakes up otherwise he is a little grumpy, and he can be a little petulant when you mention how adorable you thought he was as he complained to you about the coffee at the court house. He even sent you a photo of himself pouting, you saved that straight away.
Rafael always messages in full sentences, with near perfect grammar and punctuation. However, you learnt that when he was beyond tired after a day of court and then spending hours preparing for cross the next day he could become adorably nonsensical with some of his messages, the perfect grammar and punctuation slowly leaving as each hour passed. The petulance would come back in full force if you gently told him that he had to go to sleep, you worked out two ways to get him to sleep, one that if you promised to give him lots of kisses when you next saw him he would go to sleep. Or you hoped he did, he stopped responding to your messages at least. The other was video calling him, and you preferred this option as it allowed you to see that he did actually go to bed and sleep, as you wouldnât hung up until he was asleep. You were also shown the petulance in its full glory as he tried to negotiate with you, thankfully you werenât bound by law or court etiquette so you used all the weapons at your disposal to get him to relent. Including promises of more than kisses and perhaps a continuation of what happened in his office. That would sometimes backfire, as Rafaelâs eyes would darken and his voice would become a husky grumble, still tinged with sleep as he asked for evidence of these promises. In the end it still resulted in him falling asleep but it was harder to get him to agree. Â
You also learned how to tell when he had been having a good day in court and when heâd had a bad day. You made sure to do whatever you could to do make his day better when court had been tough, by sending him updates of everything going on in the library, sending him photos of your different outfits and makeup for the day, as inspired by different gods and goddesses. Even though you hadnât been unable to meet up with him it hadnât changed how you felt at all, in fact you think it only helped your feelings grow. Although the two of you couldnât do exactly what you guys promised on your second date, Rafael insisted that you still read the amber quartet series to him over the phone. He claimed being able to listen to your voice helped to relax him after a tough day, hearing that you were all too happy to read him a couple chapters a night.
Rafael showed that he could be romantic even without seeing you, he had sent flowers and even chocolates to the library twice since your lunch, both thanking you and apologising for not being to be meet up with you. Not wanting him to be the only one being romantic, you sent him some flowers back, with a hidden meaning. You sent him a bouquet with peonies, matthiola incana, red chrysanthemum, and carnations, trying to portray that you could see yourself falling deeply for him. Something that was already happening. The response you had gotten from that had been endearing as hell, Rafael called you right away after he got them, he stumbled over his words and he sounded flustered, you really wanted to see if his cheeks were red, because that would have been the most adorable sight.
That had been three days ago, the messages had been fewer but Rafael had told you that the court case had just gotten difficult and so he might not be able to message you. You stared at your phone and the message sitting in-front of you.
âSo, I know that your case is difficult at the moment, but when it is over I was wondering if you would like to come over to mine for dinner? And maybe, if you wanted to of course, you could stay the night.â
You hadnât sent it yet the nerves in your stomach stopping you. Of course you knew that he wouldnât have an issue with it, in the past few weeks there had been plenty of indications that the both of you wanted to be more intimate with each other. But there was still that small part of you that was worried he would say no, that was nervous about taking that step with him.
âCome on, pull on your big girl pants and send it,â you groused to yourself. You took a mouthful of your wine, swallowing it while closing your eyes and hitting send. âOkay, so I did that. Itâs fine, itâs so totally fine.â
You drained the rest of your wine as you grabbed the bottle to pour yourself another glass, to wait for Rafaelâs response. It was late but you werenât working tomorrow so you figured you could get away with a rare late night wine session. You bit your lip as you looked through some of the photos Rafael had sent throughout the weeks. A lot of them were similar to the first one he ever sent, dishevelled appearance with more and more of his shirt buttons undone. You paused on a few of the ones he sent when the two of you had been messaging late at night when he was grumpy. He had angled the phone to capture his strong thighs clad in his suit pants, with the zipper undone and his cock tenting his boxers. You felt a curl of pleasure in your lower stomach as you stretched out on the couch, your bare legs bent and spread. You flicked through some more photos of the same vein, one with his hand cupping his cock through his pants, another showing his entire body as Rafael bit his lip and grabbed himself.
Images of what could happen the night he stayed over played through your mind as you remembered how his cock felt as you sat on his lap kissing him, his hands grabbing your ass. Your mind played out what could have happened if you hadnât been interrupted, you imagined Rafael manhandling you until you were laid out on the couch, as he buried his head between your thighs, drawing moans and whimpers from you. You imagined him hovering over you as he slowly pushed himself inside of you. As these images played through your mind, you trailed your hand down your stomach, slipping under your panties and swirled your fingers around your clit.
--
Rafael could feel another headache starting just behind his eyes. This case was almost over, maybe another two days and it would be closing arguments, the defence was just throwing character witnessâ at the jury, one of which had opened up a can of worms but the detectives had dug a little and hopefully found something he could use tomorrow when he cross-examined this witness. He had always had an issue when defence would have an insane number of character witnesses, but he especially felt it with this case. It had been almost three weeks, three long weeks since he had been able to see you, see his Chica. The messages and video calls had been amazing, you showed a clear concern for his health, bartering with him to get him to sleep, it was adorable to see you negotiate with him. You of course had an advantage, he was finding it very difficult to say no to you. He didnât want to disappoint you, and it was slowly becoming clear that all you had to do was flutter your lashes, pout a little at him and use a tone that was a mixture of coy, shy and seductive. Â
He was pleasantly surprised when you had sent him flowers, along with a cute little note stating that you thought men should get flowers and that you were giving him a little test to work out the little message the flowers had. He had brought up a flower language website so fast, the flowers were all about adoration, romance, bashfulness, happiness, passion, fascination and new love. Rafael didnât think he had ever felt so flustered when he read the meanings of the flowers, nor had he ever stumbled so much over his words when he rang you. Nor had he ever felt so adored by someone before. He had worried that you would lose interest in him, finally see that a relationship with him meant going potentially weeks without being able to see him, that it would involve making plans for dates but having to cancel them and not even being able to have you come to his office. But you hadnât shown any sign of that, you always sent him a good morning and good night message along with ones spattered throughout the day, trying what you could to help him relax.
Rafael sighed, a groan of frustration leaving his lips as he slumped into the couch at his office. He knew he should probably go home but he needed to be focused for the cross tomorrow, plus he had to go over the evidence of other cases and start on warrants for the detectives. Liv and the others had done what they could but even they couldnât prevent how much work could pile up on his desk. His phone vibrated on the desk drawing his eyes from the papers in-front of him. God he hoped this wasnât a message telling him one of his cases was about to blow up. Again. But all the exhaustion and frustration of the day disappeared when he saw your contact name.
âSo, I know that your case is difficult at the moment, but when it is over I was wondering if you would like to come over to mine for dinner? And maybe, if you wanted to of course, you could stay the night.â
Rafael stared at the words on the screen. He swallowed as heat coursed through his body, you wanted him to stay the night. He thought that you might be interested in moving things forward from the conversations you had had, including some of the incentives you had given him to get some sleep. And you werenât necessarily shy, although you could ask for what you wanted he found that you would get a little bashful about asking. He wondered how long it took for you to send this message.
âThat sounds like a fantastic way to celebrate the end of this case. And there is nothing more I would like to do then spend the night. Hopefully, this case should be over in about three days but I will keep you updated, of course.â
He sent through his response, adding a heart emoji onto the end of the message. And with that Rafael couldnât focus on his trial prep, all his mind could think of was spending the night with you. He tried not to let his mind get away, but after some of the video calls the two of you had shared he found it incredibly difficult. He knew what you would look like above him, but now he was imagining what you would look like underneath him, stretched out head thrown back in ecstasy and what noises he could drag from your lips. He felt himself harden, his cock straining against his pants as the images played through his mind. He felt his body heat as he palmed himself to relieve some of the tension, a soft groan slipping from his lips, he glanced briefly at the door trying to remember if he had locked it after closing it. Â
âFuck it,â he muttered deciding that it was too late for anyone else to still be around. He quickly unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants to pull his aching hard cock out.
He didnât have any lube available so he closed his eyes and licked his hand, imagining that it was you licking his hand, sucking on his fingers. He wrapped a hand around his cock slowly stroking himself as he allowed his mind to go where it wished to. He saw you on your knees in-between his legs as you teasingly sucked on the head of his cock. Your gorgeous eyes staring up at him, a beautiful red flush on your cheeks. He bit down on his other hand in an attempt to quiet the noises coming out of his mouth. His phone was beside him on the couch ignored as he focused on his pleasure until it started to buzz consistently. He wanted to ignore it but he vaguely recalled having messaged you and he didnât want to ignore you, even for his own pleasure.
Â--
You had just considered getting up to get one of your toys when your phone buzzed.
âThat sounds like a fantastic way to celebrate the end of this case. And there is nothing more I would like to do then spend the night. Hopefully, this case should be over in about three days but I will keep you updated, of course.â
You grinned at Rafaelâs response glad that he was excited at the prospect of spending the night. Your pleasure hadnât ebbed away when you read his response, it instead grew as the possibilities you had played in your mind as you fingered yourself suddenly became a lot more possible. You dragged yourself up from your couch and travelled to your bedroom, glass of wine in one hand and your phone in the other. You quickly set up your room, lighting some candles and turning on the fairy lights you had strung up over the canopy of your four poster bed before you dug around in your drawer for your external vibrator. The wine had gone a little bit to your head, as you took a photo of your bed and your room all set up to send to Rafael. You sent another one with a towel and your toy sitting on top of it. And then other one after you had changed into a green set of lingerie that you thought would be perfect to wear for your first night with Rafael. You had purchased it as soon as you saw it, as you believed it would almost match his eyes.
âI thought a little preview was in order. A little gift for you. My poor man is working so hard.â
--
âI thought a little preview was in order. A little gift for you. My poor man is working so hard.â
âFuck Chica,â Rafael groaned his hand speeding up as he stared at the photo of you in the most gorgeous set of lingerie he had ever seen.
A gorgeous green, with lace trimmings and a sheer, gauzy material that almost showed everything but it was designed to hide the parts of your body that he longed to see. His stomach tensed as his pleasure reached its peak as he imagined you laying under him in that lingerie set as he mouthed at your breasts and teased your clit through your panties. His cum covered his hand, some drops on his pants that had it been a different situation he probably would be frustrated but he didnât care. He cleaned up the mess his cock had made before he took a photo of his face showing his flushed skin, lips red from his teeth having bitten them.
âChica, you are going to drive me insane.â He attached the photo and sent his message off before he saved all the photos you sent. Your bedroom looked exactly how he thought it would, cozy and romantic. And he desperately wanted to see it in person. He would actually consider murdering the defence if they did anything to make this trial go any longer than three days. But he would kiss them if they stopped calling witnesses and allowed the trial to end earlier. He decided to call it a night, he wouldnât be able to concentrate at all now.
--
You stared at the photo that Rafael had sent you and a part of you just knew that he had taken this photo after he had cum. His cheeks were flushed just so and his lips looked bitten and his eyes, god his eyes were burning and had a satisfied look in them that you desperately wanted to see as he hovered above you.
âOh fuck,â you groaned as the heat inside you built, you held the vibrator against your clit, hips rolling in pleasure. You sat your phone done so you could tease your breasts altering between them as you pulled at your nipples. Â You imagined Rafael above you, thrusting inside you and biting at your neck, the imagine was all you needed as your pleasure reach its peak, your walls fluttered as your clit throbbed as your orgasm flooded through you.
You breathed deeply allowing the last thrums of pleasure to roll through you before you removed the vibrator. Humming you opened your phone again to the photo Rafael sent, bit your lip. You werenât a religious person but you prayed that the case would be over in three days or less. The need you felt for Rafael was like nothing you had ever felt before, it grew and grew every single day.
--
âGirl you need to get laid,â Lily muttered after you had snapped at some teenagers making a mess.
âIâm trying to,â you snarked.
âWaitâŚyou guys havenât?â Lily walked beside you on the way to the break room.
âI havenât seen Rafael in three weeks, this current case apparently become a shit show,â you shrugged. âHeâs going to stay the night after the case is over.â
âAnd that is?â
âHopefully tomorrow night,â you groaned. âLily, that man is making me feel things I havenât felt for someone before.â
Lily grinned wrapping an arm around your waist as she pulled you close.
âAnd what about Rafael? Any indication that he feels the same?â
âYes, I think so at least,â you nodded, a soft smile pulling at your frown as a soft blush swept up your neck to your cheeks. âWeâve messaged a lot, including video chats and he is definitely interested. I had a bit too much wine the other night and may have sent a spicer photo then normal and he definitely enjoyed that.â
âOoh girl, who are you?â she teased.
You shrugged grinning at Lily as you briefly wondered that yourself. You have never sent a photo like you did to Rafael, you had never felt comfortable enough for that. But Rafael made you feel comfortable and safe, you couldnât explain why after only a short time you felt that way. But honestly you didnât care. You liked how Rafael made you feel, and you didnât want it to go away.
âI donât know but I kinda like it,â you giggled.
âWell, letâs  hope you get laid tomorrow cause you seeing you death glare teenagers dressed as Athena is a little terrifying,â Lily patted your head. âAnd we canât go scaring people from our library.â
âHm, letâs hope,â you hummed in agreement.
--
Rafael barely waited long enough for the Judge to leave, barely waited enough for the victim and their family to thank him before he rushed out to the courtroom and to his office. Ignoring the detectives, he briefly waved over his shoulder when Liv called his name.
âCanât stop, dinner,â he rushed out. His pulse was thundering as he quickly packed his office, telling Carmen to not interrupt him under any circumstances for tonight and tomorrow. Maybe even the next day, he hadnât quite decided that. He paused only long enough to send you a text message letting you know that he would be over to yours by 6 at the latest.
âI canât wait to see you Rafael, Iâve missed you.â
Rafael grinned at your reply as his uber arrived, he continuously tapped his leg in a little anxious pattern until he arrived at his apartment. He didnât think he had ever rushed quite so much packing a bag as he did tonight. He debated having a shower and changing but after a quick look in the mirror he decided against it. He knew you thoroughly liked how he looked dishevelled in a suit and figured he could have a quick shower at your place, maybe with you. That would be incredibly enjoyable. Â He ordered another Uber to get to yours, stopping to pick up some flowers on the way.
In what felt like hours he arrived at your apartment. Taking a deep breathe he keyed your apartment number into the buzzer and waited for you to answer.
--
The sound of your intercom going off set your heart racing. You hesitated briefly before answering.
âHello? Rafael?â you asked, there was no-one else it could be.
âHey Chica,â Rafaelâs voice soothed something inside of you. The nerves calming a little.
âIâll buzz you up, Iâm the fourth floor, left after you get out of the elevators and near the end,â you breathed hitting the unlock button.
âThanks,â Rafael said before you heard the sound of the door opening.
You rushed to your room, checking yourself one last time in your mirror making sure there wasnât anything out of place. Your hair fell loosely down your back, you decided to forego make up tonight, and chose a formfitting dress with just the peek of green lace showing at the top. In a short time a knock on the door had you wondering back to the entrance. Your eyes cast over the candles that you had lit throughout your apartment, the kitchen table set for two, a bottle of wine and a glass of scotch waiting. You also had your aroma diffuser going with the scent of cherry blossoms. You smoothed down the front of your dress, taking one last breathe before you opened the door. And that breathe rushed out of you the second your eyes saw him.
It looked like he had run here straight from court. A bag held in one hand and white rose held in his other. His green eyes simmered with a heat as he took you in, the simmer growing when he saw the green lace peeking out the top from your dress. He was man enough to admit that he struggled to pull his eyes away from your cleavage but he managed to if only because your eyes caught his.
âMy eyes are up here, Sir,â you teased opening the door wider to allow him in. âCome on in.â
âThank you Chica,â he grinned, as he passed you he pressed a kiss to your cheek. âYou look ravishing tonight.â You smiled ducking your head a little as pink dusted your cheeks.
âSo do you,â you tried for a similar tone in your voice that Rafael had but you didnât quite succeed. Your voice was breathless, because Rafael did lookâŚdelicious. With his suit not quite perfect, the tie loose and buttons undone. His hair ruffled and messy.
You watched as Rafael took in your apartment, you kept it clean and tidy. You had bookshelves along the back wall of your open floor plan, the shelves had fairy lights and fake plants decorating them. More fake plants decorated your coffee table and other little nerdy items were scattered throughout your apartment. You felt comfortable and happy in your apartment and never second guessed any of your choices for decorations. Rafael did a small circle noting a glass of scotch waiting beside a plate on the table, you grinned as you noticed the slight hitch in his eyebrow and the soft look on his face as he took everything in.
âYou have a lovely home,â Rafael walked towards you. âI picked these up for you.â
âTheyâre gorgeous Rafael, thank you,â you said reaching out to take them from him but you didnât step away from him right away. You stepped closer, looking up at him through your lashes, before looking down at his lips and then back up to his eyes.
âIs there something you want carino?â He asked hands taking hold of your hips and tugging you softly.
âHm, I thought it was you who wanted something,â you countered. âLast I checked it was you who petulantly begged for kisses.â
âPetulantly begged?â Rafael whispered lowering his head until his lips hovered over yours.
âMhmm,â you nodded. âYou going to deny it?â
âDo I get a kiss if I agree?â he asked.
âWell, I mean you did bring me gorgeous flowers,â Â you started, purposefully biting your bottom lip. âAnd I heard you won your case as well.â
âOh, does winning get me a kiss then? Even if I deny that I begged?â Rafael grinned.
âWe both know that you did beg but I will still give you a kiss for winning,â you nodded. âPlus I havenât seen you in three weeks.â
âWhich is just far too long, Iâm sorry-â
âAh no, there is no need for that Rafael,â you smiled cupping his cheek with your free hand. âI was fully aware that this could happen. Youâre here now.â
He opened his mouth, probably to try and apologise again but you were not having it. You decided the best way to get him to stop and to distract him from even thinking about it was to kiss him. You pressed your lips against his, causing him to startle a little at the sudden contact, a huff of air escaping him as his lips curled up into a smile, before he started kissing you back. You pulled away before it could get too heated, as you had cooked a rather nice meal and as much as you wanted to finally get him naked you wanted to have a nice meal and talk with him first.
âYou hungry?â you asked pulling away, Rafael followed your lips for a second before he opened his eyes a soft whine leaving him.
âStarving,â his green eyes no longer just simmered with heat, they burned.
âLater,â you promised, a similar heat burning through you, and your eyes telling Rafael that you wanted him just as much as he wanted you. âI made Casareccica Alibrandi, and I got you some scotch. I hope itâs one you like. Also please make yourself at home, you can put your jacket on the coat rack just over there.â
âYou didnât have to do that,â Rafael watched as you pulled out a vase to put his flowers in before sitting them on your coffee table, his eyes were glued to you as you walked back past him into the kitchen. It was only when the rest of your sentence entered his brain that he looked over to the a little nook in the wall just after the entrance into the apartment. He quickly took off his suit jacket and tie hanging them up and leaving him in his shirt and suspenders. He undid a few more buttons and rolled up his sleeves.
 âI know, I wanted to though,â you smiled over your shoulder at him as you pulled the pasta dish out of the oven where you had placed it to keep to warm without overcooking anything, feeling your throat constrict a little when you saw him rolling his sleeves, exposing those forearms of his that you had dreamed about. You forced your eyes away and tried to remember the rest what you had wanted to say. âYouâve had a tough three weeks and I wanted tonight to be as relaxing as possible for you.â
âCarino, you are something else,â Rafael whispered as you served up the dish gesturing for him to take a seat. The first thing he did was try the scotch, he wanted to assure you that the scotch was good. And it was, it was really good. âThis scotch is really good.â
âIâm glad, I hope the food is good,â you smiled shyly placing a bowl down in-front of him.
âIt smells delicious and looks it too,â Rafael caught your hand before you could move to your chair. He brought it up to his mouth to place a kiss on your knuckles. âThank you Carino, this night is exactly what I need. You are what I need.â
âRafi,â you whispered squeezing his hand, leaning to place a kiss on his cheek before slowly dragging your hand from his and taking you seat. You stretched your legs out entangling them with his, not wanting to stop touching him.
Rafael smiled at you, taking a bite of the food and could barely stop the groan of appreciation that left his mouth the minute the tastes hit his tongue. It was amazing. Your eyes were stuck on his mouth, as he took another bite, tongue darting out to catch a drop of the sauce. Another hum leaving him. Your body heated as you noticed that his tongue would poke out a little as he took a bite of food.
âChica, this is amazing,â Rafael focused back on you to see that you hadnât taken a mouthful yet. âChica?â
âHm, what?â you shook your head trying to clear away the images that had taken up residence there. âOh, um, good, thatâs good, Iâm glad.â You quickly took a mouthful trying to pretend you hadnât been staring at him this entire time.
âA bit distracted?â Rafael teased he slipped off one of his shoes and lightly ran his foot up your leg that was entangled with his. You gulped down some wine at his action, surprised at it. âBecause I have been distracted by you since you opened your door. Seeing that lacy bra peeking above that gorgeous dress that hugs your curves. Those curves that I have been wanting to kiss and run my tongue all over, tasting you.â
âRafael,â you gasped, a shiver running through you, your heart picking up at his words.
âMy desire for you has grown Carino,â Rafael stood up from his chair, placing one hand on the back of your chair and the other on the table beside your bowl. âCarino, look at me.â
Your eyes trailed up his arm, his throat until you finally looked him in his eyes. The green in them was darker then normal, you were taken back to the day in his office when the two of you made out on his couch like teenagers. You wetted your lips, subconsciously pushing your chest out a little, you felt a little surge of pride and victory when you noticed Rafaelâs eyes darting down to stare at your chest before he looked back to your eyes. That small little victory you felt however, withered under the look on Rafaelâs face. The hand that had been on the table moved to trail up your stomach and over your chest and up your neck before he gently cupped your face. His touch was the complete opposite of the hungry look on his face, a look that was almost feral. A look that finally made all those descriptions in your fantasy books seen possible. The plan for a nice slow evening had gone out the window and you found that you didnât quite care as much as you thought you would. You could always talk with him in the morning.
âAsk me,â Rafael demanded as he slowly lowered his face to yours. âAnd tell me to stop, tell me if you donât like anything I do.â
âRafael, please kiss me,â you voice was quiet.
âAnd?â Rafael insisted, you smiled up at him you hands reaching to grab hold of his suspenders.
âAnd I promise I will tell you to stop if I need to and I will be clear if I donât like something,â you responded.
âGood. Girl.â Rafael cooed just before his lips took yours.
