pairing: pining! barista wooyoung x gn! customer reader
tags: when i was writing this i was thinking to myself, "hear me out -wooyoung as the local cafe barista who has a massive crush on you, him being so so delusional about it", and then i decided to roll with because i can write about that so please enjoy! <3
summary: wooyoung's a barista, you're a (his) regular and he thinks this is his chance at a cafe slow-burn romance.
word count: 1.6k words
+ 1
"what can i get started for you today?" wooyoung monotonously greets like clockwork, fingers hovered over the touchscreen.
"what would you recommend?" he lifts his eyes to meet your inquisitive ones. pointing to the chalkboard, wooyoung replied flippantly, "these are our cafe's specialties." your eyebrows furrowed, repeating, "i know. what would you recommend?"
he paused in his tracks, much like a dear in headlights, "uh..." his face burns from the focused stare you had pinned on him. unsure, he rambles, "everything's...delicious! my favorite is the latte paired with the apple crumble pie." this time round, wooyoung takes a proper look at you.
you're pretty cute, he observed, hands idly fiddling with the cloth tucked in the pocket of his apron.
"okay. i'll have that." he enters your (his) order, and hands you a receipt, directing you to the pickup counter as he prepares your items.
when he finally hands over your items, you sheepishly apologized, "sorry if i had troubled you earlier. i didn't know what to get since it is my first time here." wooyoung found it difficult to be mad, "oh...it's no problem at all. i can assure you that everything here is good."
"thanks so much, uhm...wooyoung." you glanced down at his nametag and then back up to express your gratitude. as you picked up your items, he nods and responds out of habit, "come by again!"
+ 2
wooyoung leans his weight against the counter, phone in his hand as he goes on about his day, "âyeah and i was saying...oh! wait."
his voice dies down when he hears the bell ring, thinking it was another customer. but as soon as his gaze lands on you, a confident smile replaces the nonchalant expression he once had.
"catch you in a bit, my favorite person is here." he ends the call, not bothering to hear his friend's complaint. you were one of his frequent customers, and also someone he's taken interest in. a little bit too much interest in though, ever since his first chance meeting with you. you have been coming in at least once or twice a week, and each time his heart soars when you're around.
"hey sweetheart, anything i can get for ya?" he props his head up with his hand, eyes never leaving you as you scrutinize the chalkboard menu, "sweetheart...is that a new nickname? i bet you call everyone sweetheart, right wooyoung?"
"nah, only for you." he assures, and he jumps when he sees the sides of your mouth twitch upwardsâno doubt holding back a grin. you rattle off your order, something he also knew by heart. this special order wasn't written on the menu, but something he had went out of his way to make for you, lying about a "secret" menu that only a few people (read: only you) knew.
"do you want anything else to go with that order? for you, it's on the house!" he gestured to the pastries at the display shelf and you teased, "are you sure about that? you're going to make a loss at this rate."
true, he was always offering to gift you a free pastry with your drink. not that it mattered because he'd gladly cover the cost with his salary just to see you smile.
"of course not. there wasn't much business today." a lie.
"and also, who else is going to taste my efforts?" partly the truth.
"i want to give one to you to cheer you on." absolute truth.
you relented, shaking your head, "okay, okay. you can pick one for me." he nearly swoons at the sight of you beaming at him, "of course." wooyoung prepares your orderâmaking small talk with youâhis silly smile never once disappeared in your presence.
"here you go." he hands them over to you, nearly dropping the items when your fingers brushed over his to collect your order. "thanks a bunch! i'll get going."
"bye...see you again!" he precariously leans over the counter, neck craning as you walked off. he sighs dreamily before having a "reality check" when another customer not-so-subtly coughs a distance away from him.
"sorry, what can i get for you today?"

wooyoung checks his appearance against the reflection of the fridge by the back of the store, donning his apron on before stepping out. almost immediately, butterflies erupted in his chest when he spots you typing away on your laptop.
"hey." he smoothly greets you. you were seated at your usual space near the counter, a cup of tea beside you.
seems like today was a "no-procrastination day", judging from how your teapot was completely close to empty.
you raised your eyes to meet his, "hello! did you just start work?" he excitedly nods, then schools his expression not a second later, "yeah. need a refill?" he juts out his chin and you sighed, "yeah. your colleague had boiled the water a couple of times for me already."
so you've been here for a while now, wooyoung chews the inside of his cheeks to hide a triumphant smile. moving automatically, he grabs the hot kettle, "don't worry, i'll reheat your teabag as many times as you request me to." you beamed at him, "that would be nice."
"anything for you."
the next few hours passed by in a flash, yet the constant reminder that you were still sat there a great encouragement for wooyoung as he pushes through the dinner rush. as the last bit of the dinner crowd titters away, wooyoung makes his way to stand behind the counter to rest, standing opposite you. the empty dinner plate on your left made him smile knowing you were being fed well by him.
"how's it going?"
you hummed, "not bad! i think i'll go home and rest for a bit before i pull an all-nighter to complete this manuscript." wooyoung makes a face, "again?" you hid your chuckles behind your palm, "what do you mean 'again'? i swear i don't stay up late often."
"everytime you come here and stay here for nearly the whole day, you're most definitely pulling an all-nighter." he holds up a finger, as if to prove a point. "and secondly, you're drinking tea. because if you chugged coffee the whole day you'd be holed up in the toilet instead of doing your work." flabbergast at his statement, you reached over to playfully whack him, "wooyoung! how could you!"
he laughs, shoulders shaking and hands clutched over his stomach, "it's the truth!" you pouted, "you're too much...you didn't have to announce it to the world!"
wooyoung easily balances your plate and teapot on one hand, "i'm gonna be closing up soon, in about 30 minutes. will you be...making a move?"
your eyes comically widened, "it's that late?" a flick of your wrist shows the time on your watch, an amused wooyoung watching you.
"yeah, it is. you might as well wait till i finish clearing up and i'll send you to a bus stop or subway station," he offered, hoping he didn't sound too eager. "oh! that would be nice of you actually. is it alright?" you clasped your hands in front of you, a sparkle lighting up your eyes.
"of course."
+ 4
"are you closing?"
wooyoung had his back facing the door and he holds back a groan from the question. of course we're closing, he grumbles, the neon sign is already switched off and...
his thoughts trailed off when he spots you sheepishly standing by the door.
"what are you doing here this late?" wooyoung blurts out and you rubbed your neck nervously, "i was...craving an ice americano and also a..."
"let me guess. an apple crumble pie?" he teases, pretending to think hard about it. "exactly that." you levelled your gaze to meet his, eyes twinkling. but not a moment later you shook your head, "but if you're closing i'll goâ"
"how about i see what i can do for you?" the moment the sparkle in your eyes seemed to light up brighter, wooyoung thinks he'd better remember this moment for the rest of his life. he ushers you in, "you know, i realized you haven't been passing by here lately. i'm going to have to extend my working hours if you only appear at this time of the day. it's not good for my business."
"hey...! i've been busy, okay?" you huffed and wooyoung just laughs, "i'm kidding. business has been great too, since it's the holiday season more people have been coming in to try our limited time menu." he bustles around the counters, making your request all while you peered over to state at him.
you mused, "you don't sound happy about this good news." he smirked, playful tone lacing his words, "clearly, because i haven't been seeing you around." the oven dings behind him and he pulls out the tray.
"that doesn't look like an apple crumble." setting down the tray before you, he slides your drink up next to it as your confusion settled in.
"ice americano this late isn't good for your stomach. and we also ran out of apple pies so, i made you hot cocoa and reheated some of the milk bread i made just now."
a second passed and wooyoung was afraid he did something wrong. "is...it not to your liking? i should haveâ" "âno! no, i'm just touched that you'd go out of your way to do something like that."
wooyoung's triumphant smile stretched wide on his face, "then, please enjoy while i clean up the store."
in comfortable silence, you had your supper while he tidied up like clockwork: mopping the floors, putting away utensils, straightening tables and chairs and not to forget, glancing at you as you happily ate.
"how much is this?" you fished out your wallet and wooyoung was quick to grab it from you, "nuh uh. this one's on me. you don't owe me anything." arms coming to cross in front of you, you pouted, "fine, then how can i repay you?"
"let's go on a date. you can pay me back then."

𧸠svt checking in on an overworked!reader.
anon â "Can I request texts from SVT who are crushing on yn who is working late, checking on her and offering to buy delivery food since she hasn't eaten?"
â âthe way this request #healed me.. ty anon. (*´ -`)
â§âËâŠĺ˝Ą includes: overworked!reader, tired!reader, lots of fluff :(, svt caring for reader, headcanons under the cut.
𧸠headcanons .á
seungcheol doesn't ask you if you want something; he just gets it for you. he'll get delivered what he thinks is best for your current state or something he knows you'll like. it could be a meal, could be a little trinket. money is of little object when the concern is making sure you're ok. see also: sets a special text ringtone for you, quietly plans a spa day for you to destress once the worst is over.
jeonghan won't go to sleep until you do. his check-ins seem nonchalant, but make no mistake. he's more likely to crash with his phone in his hand, having waited for your reply. see also: teases you that you should quit your job and he'll provide for you, enthusiastically wake-up calls you when you ask for it.
a design program? some excel formulas? joshua will learn anything and everything if it means he can help you, even a little. he'll never force you to give him your work, but he just wants you to know that the option is there. see also: makes you room sprays for days when you're work from home, gives you all the best gossip when you need a break.
junhui's tactic is a little backhanded, but he's genuine enough to pull it off: he gives you something to look forward to. whether it's a trip to an amusement park or the newest movie in cinemas, he's already securing you your much-needed break. see also: watches 'healing' dramas with you, gifts you pillows/blankets/pajamas as a 'gag' gift (when he really just hopes you'll rest more).
if he's not sending silly selfies of himself, soonyoung is bombarding you with photos of latte! he likes to think latte's cuteness eases some of your stress. (although he's also the first to insist that he's much, much cuter.) see also: gets genuinely offended on your behalf when your bosses/clients don't treat you well, takes you to rage rooms after particularly busy weeks.
wonwoo is always on the lookout for listicles about things-that-make-work-easier. he'll buy you a certain type of snack or get you a brand of coffee if someone vouched for its quality. he has a very 'don't-mention-it' vibe about how he cares for you. see also: wordlessly sends you openings to jobs he think will treat you better, asks often about whether your eyesight is worsening because of all your late nights.
it's no surprise that jihoon can be just as overworked as you; what is surprising is his easy willingness to co-work. he'll give up his studio for the night and focus on lyrics or something else entirely if it means keeping you some proper company. see also: buys convenience store meals for you, pries your laptop out of your hands when even he knows that it's been too much work.
mingyu will cook your tupperware after tupperware of meal prep if it makes your life easier. he does it under the guise of experimentation when, truthfully, he just wants to know that you're doing well while doing whatever you have to. see also: drives you wherever you need to go, won't move an inch if you fall asleep on him at any point in time.
seokmin is the type who likes to facetime while you work. you don't even have to talk to him; the two of you often do your own thing, and he just stays around for as long as you need him. see also: sends voice recordings of him belting your 'comfort' songs, showers your work in compliments if you ever tell him of the results/show him the finished product.
minghao is not in the business of assuming what you may or may not need; he much prefers that you let him know yourself. he's usually not so persistent, but he's adamant about not skipping meals. he's always willing to relieve you from the burden of choiceâ just say the word. see also: sends you guided meditation tiktoks, buys you cute office materials that he thinks you'll enjoy.
seungkwan believes that, in situations like these, photos speak louder than words. he'll send you a lot of uplifting memes that may seem insincere coming from anyone else, but you know that he means every single one of them. see also: always makes sure you have snacks in your home pantry, actively listens and responds to your rants about work.
vernon lets music do the talking. he's the type to curate very specific playlists for your situations; you've received a handful, from 'cramming a report' to 'i hate my boss'. see also: keeps a running list of films that he wants to watch with you when you're no longer busy, reads up on the terms you mention because he wants to understand what your work entails.
chan justâ shows up. whether or not you're prepared for it, he'll come at the most ungodly hours, bearing anything from tubs of ice cream to fast food takeout. he either sticks around to just exist in your space or heads right home after; all he wants is to see with his own two eyes how you're doing. see also: sends you 'this is a sign to quit your job!' memes, (jokingly) vows to exact revenge on the company that has you working so hard.

Hate the AM, Hate the PM, But love you
Hobie Brown x reader
word count: 969
find the mini series here
tags: @maxjesty @marshallowy @sh-tposter2021 @ilovebhna @ladyagagaslefttoe
synopsis: Hobie is still a slightly infuriating neighbor, but thereâs something about that jacket and guitar that are all too familiar.
a/n: DRUNK CONFESSIONS!! Part two of this fic. I wasnât going to write another part to it but i caved đ
You stood him up. You fucking stood him up. Hobie spent the entire show looking out into the crowd, ignoring the blinding stage lights, to try and find you. But you were nowhere to be found. He asked so nicely too! Despite his nonchalant attitude it took him so long to build up the courage to ask you out. He had dinner reservations planned, which he has obviously never done, looked up places to get a Mr.Whippy and even found a small secluded area where he could play his guitar for you.
The worst part is how it made him feel. He genuinely liked you and it hurt him to think you didnât feel the same when he thought you did. So what was his solution? Go out with his mates to a pub until 3 am to drink his feelings. Hobie was a bold drunk, bolder than he usually is. Heâs also a sloppy drunk, tripping when he walks and slurring his speech like itâs all one word.
Youâre peacefully sleeping in your bed with your spiderman eye mask cuddling with your Spider-Punk plushie. Itâs not a random occurrence to hear Hobie stomping his boots late at night but it was different today. You heard his boot buckles dragging across the floor and a loud bang against your door. Not necessarily a knock, more of a body slumped against the wood.
âLove! You in there?!â You hear him yell.
You try your hardest to ignore him but as he keeps yelling and pounding against the wood you start to feel sorry for everyone else on your floor. You force yourself out of bed and towards the front door. As you reluctantly open it a drunken Hobie falls into your flat.
âHobie get your arse up,â you roll your very tired eyes.
He surprisingly agrees and makes his way to your bed.
Great, you think
He tosses his guitar to your couch and gets into your bed like itâs his. Conveniently throwing the spider-punk plush off the bed. He cuddles up with your blanket and closes his eyes. You cannot let him fall asleep.
âHobie! Hello? That is my bed. Get out!â You yell at him.
âWhyâd you do it?â He whispers.
âWhat,â you ask, still annoyed.
âYou stood me up. I asked you to come to my show and you didnât. Why,â he asked less of a question and more of a statement.
You sigh, of course you knew that was tonight. In all honesty you donât quite know why you didnât go. You werenât doing anything special and it probably wouldâve been nice. But you were scared. Scared of what? You also didnât know that, you just were.
âI⌠I donât know,â you admit.
âReally hurt me, Love. I wanted to see you and take you out on a nice date,â he looked away from you.
Your heart shattered. You knew Hobie liked you but not to that extent. You thought he was just playing around with you and didnât mean anything by it.
âIâm really sorry, Hobie. We should go out some other time, okay? My treat,â you promise.
âNah, donât think iâll have the time,â He says, clearly less sad than he was a few moments ago.
âOh yeah? Busy with what? Trying to tear down the government from the inside?â You laugh.
âOf course not, thatâs for the first saturday of every month. Iâll be busy being Spiderman,â he says, cuddling closer to your blanket.
You stop immediately. Your mind goes blank, the world around you stops. Youâre suddenly much more awake than you have ever been. Hobie is⌠no you canât even say it. The man youâve hated ever since you had moved in was the person you loved more than anything else? That canât be right, heâs having a laugh. Thatâs gotta be it.
âI donât believe in comedy,â you remember him saying.
Fuck. Heâs not joking, is he?
âWhat?â you manage to get out.
âIâll be busy, being spiderman and all. Yknow who that is right? Donât know if you noticed but heâs- i mean Iâm kinda all over your room,â he lets out a drunk giggle.
He pulls out his mask from the pocket of his jacket and handed it to you.
âSee?â
You grab it in disbelief. You run your hand over the spandex in awe. Spiderman is right in front of you, you realize.
Oh. My. God. SPIDERMAN IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
You just canât believe the man youâve idolized for years was in your bed. YOUR BED.
Hobie takes the blanket off of him, lifting up his shirt to reveal his suit. Blue and fucking red material.
âI donât believe in the labels though. Itâs stupid,â He says in the most Hobie way possible.
âYouâre a superhero,â you say, still a little shocked.
âNo. No, don't say that. I'm not a hero, because calling yourself a hero makes you a self-mythologising, narcissistic autocrat,â He says. God even drunk heâs still a smart ass.
âSo you still wanna go out?â He asks.
âWhat? I just found out youâre fucking Spiderman and thatâs what youâre asking me? If I want to go out with you?â You respond.
âI mean what else is there to say? I already know you love me,â he nods to the spiderman memorabilia.
Even in this state he still leaves you speechless.
âWell- yeah I guess. We can go out,â you say slowly.
âCool,â he nods.
He lifts up the blanket and scoots over, inviting you into your bed with him. You roll your eyes and get in with him. He wraps his arms around you and smiles.
âI knew you wanted to snog me from the start,â he laughs.
Hobie is still pretty infuriating, but that is slowly becoming one of your favorite things about him.

synopsis: how they react when they find out youâve never had a date on valentineâs day
based on the prompt: âyouâve never had a valentineâs date?â
characters: diluc, kaeya, mona, zhongli, xiao, kujou sara, kazuha, itto, tighnari, cyno, and childe x gn! reader (separately)
warnings: fluff, a bit of angst in some of them, these are meant to be pre-relationship but you can interpret them how you want
notes: releasing this a day early because i know iâll forget about it tomorrow lmao. also i was gonna do more for this than just a bullet scenario, but then i realized there was only like a week left until valentineâs when i wrote this so i couldnât do anything big đ but i did really like this prompt so enjoy!
diluc:
his facial expression contorts into one of confusion as he wipes the inside of the glass in his hand
youâre sitting in front of him, legs crossed one over the other as they dangle over the barstool youâre on. your head rests in your hand innocently, as if what you had just said hadnât affected you at all
youâve never had a valentineâs date?
no. diluc just canât accept it, at least, thatâs what he decides as he puts the glass down and starts to remove his apron
before you know it, his hands are gripping yours, pulling you out the door and into the now sunset painted city you called your home
valentineâs wasnât over yet, and diluc was sure as hell going to make sure you got that date
kaeya:
he laughs, his smile wide and his eyes teasing as he blinks through his tears
but then he sees the way you grimace and your eyes look anywhere but at him. he sees a sense nervousness and embarrassment wash over every inch of your face
he feels awful
kaeya hadnât meant anything bad by his laughter. truthfully, he thought you were joking with him because, how could someone so utterly beautiful in every which way, someone so full of life, someone so perfect never have been asked on a date on valentines?
you were all he had ever wanted and more, and yet you werenât even his
apologies come flying out of his mouth for a solid two minutes before you assure him itâs okay and, as expected, that stupid smirk appears on his face again
his hand is latching onto yours as he leans in close, asking you to join him on a date so he could make it up to you
and although he seems rather nonchalant on the outside, his heart is beating rapidly on the inside, begging you to accept so he could finally make you his
mona:
her mouth falls open at the sound of your response to the question
then it shutsâŚand then it opens again
meanwhile, you have to keep yourself from laughing too hard because of the way she currently resembles a fish
she huffs as she ignores your muffled laughter and tosses the pen she had been writing with to the side and gathers her papers on her desk
youâre still laughing, but her face is as serious and determined as ever
and before you know it, you were getting dragged out of her room and into yours. and your best friend tells you to get ready, as glammed up or as comfortable as you want
she was going to take you out on the best damn date of your life and maybe, just maybe, finally confess her feelings to you
zhongli:
his eyes widen in shock and he immediately sets his tea down to clasp his hands together
heâs silent, thinking carefully about what to say to your response to his question. honestly, he looks like someone had just murdered his grandma
deep down, he wants to ask why
but he doesnât want to hurt your feelings or make you feel bad never having a date on valentineâs
his hand aches to reach for yours and hold it tight in his. secure it with all his adoration and love for you, make you realize heâd do anything to take you on a date â valentines or otherwise
slowly, his eyes reach back up to meet yours and he stands, unclasping his hands and extending one out for you to hold
âif you do not mind, i would like to have the pleasure of being your first valentineâs date. and, perhaps if you enjoy it, you would consider allowing me to take you out again.â
xiao:
he scoffs â why were you even telling him this anyway? he didnât even like valentineâs day so what does this have to do with him?
yet, he doesnât miss the way his heart seems to skip a beat before pounding furiously against his chest
was he angry? upset? emotional? sad? he wasnât sure but, whatever it was, it was not a good feeling
he masks whatever emotion it was and displays the most neutral expression he could come up with
because, no, xiao is not jealous and most definitely does not care
yet, as much as the adeptus claimed to hate valentineâs day, he couldnât help but feel the slightest bit interested if it means he gets to spend the day with you
his eyes avoid yours and a small blush crosses his face as he offers a proposition:
âif you would likeâŚmaybe you could spend the day with me?â
kujou sara:
her arms cross as she leans sideways against the wall, staring directly at you as she scoffs
âwho wouldnât want to take you out on a date?â
shit
the general definitely did not mean to say that out loud
suddenly, sheâs standing upright and stuttering left and right as you stand in front of her in shock
her hands are waving in front of her face sporadically as she desperately tries to explain herself
but then your silence turns into laughter and it feels like the world around her completely stops as you reassure her that itâs okay and that youâre actually quite flattered
embarrassed as she is, sara sighs and stares at anywhere but you, âi know itâs your favorite, so meet me at uyuu restaurant at 7 tonight. please donât make me regret this.â
kazuha:
he offers a gentle smile and covers your hand in his own
âthatâs okay, neither have i.â
youâre quick to ask him why, but heâs quick enough to ask you the same
youâre dumbfounded, but argue that you asked him first. and he explains, saying that heâs always preferred the wind and spending his time in nature rather than out on silly dates
and your eyes loose their shine a little, not only upset because you have to talk about the fact that no one had ever asked you on a valentineâs day before, but also because it meant you likely wouldnât have the chance to ever go out with him
and he notices, because thatâs just how kazuha is
âjust because i said i donât prefer to go on dates, doesnât mean i donât enjoy them. in fact, i would greatly appreciate it if you would join me at chinju forest later today. perhaps we could have a picnic and enjoy the scenery together?â
itto:
he gasps loudly, almost as if heâs in a horror movie and the killer just found him
it scares you at first, thinking that his sudden expression was not in reaction to your response, but then you realize itto was in fact reacting to you
itâs just his dramatic nature
his hand is over his heart and his eyes are shut, acting as if heâs in pain
âoh no! no, no, no! this just wonât do!â
and you laugh whole heartedly at him. a smile irresistibly tugs at your lips and your eyes are all wrinkled
and when you recover, ittoâs looking at you with the brightest, most fondest look you think youâve ever seen in your life
and it hits you: he was trying to make you laugh so that you wouldnât feel bad
and then heâs all serious, but you can tell heâs really just nervous, âuh, hey listen, i can take you outâŚbut only if you want! not that you have to or anything â no, no that would be uhâŚyeah!â
tighnari:
âvalentineâs day is a rather trivial holiday. thereâs no need to be so upset about never having had a date.â
your eyes fall to your hands as he says those words. not that he sees of course, seeing as heâs turned around at his desk, writing away at some papers
âyeah, no! i get it, youâre right,â you say. but your words donât match your tone, and you hate how quick tighnari is to pick up on it
he sighs and turns around, still fiddling with the pen in his hand, but you donât meet his eyes
you knew he didnât mean it in a bad way, thatâs just who he is, but you couldnât help the hurt you felt when he spoke
and then he sighs again. although, this time a small, but genuine, smile graces his expression, âif a date is what will make you happy, then i would happily take some time off from work.â
cyno:
heâs hesitant to respond
not because he finds it appalling that youâve never had a date on valentineâs day, but because heâs simply not well versed in relationships or emotional comfort in general
his eyes stay focused on the ground and his fingers tighten against the barrel of his polearm
heâs so quiet that youâre not even sure he heard your response
and he continues to think for a few more moments before huffing and just saying everything outright
overthinking wasnât the mahamatraâs style
so he asks you out to dinner that night. not out of pity either, just simply because thatâs what cyno wanted
sure he wasnât a fan of the holiday, but his feelings for you are certainly enough to make him want to celebrate it
childe:
his hand is intertwined with yours as you walk together down the streets of liyue
âwait so, youâve never had a valentineâs date before? as in, this is literally your first one ever?â
you donât respond. instead, you stare at the buildings around you and all the other couples adorning the different restaurants and gift shops
childe isnât stupid. he sees the way you get uncomfortable and instantly regrets making the comment
he speaks softly, âiâm honored, you know? besides, you couldnât get a better first date than me.â
youâre slapping his arm in a matter of seconds, trying to hold back your laugh, but acting angry nonetheless

Bite Me
Day 25 â Monsterfucking đ Carlos Sainz
Warnings: 18+ content, vampires, and dubious consent
Kinktober Masterlist
Carlos lies beside you, the weight of his arm draped over your waist, fingers tracing absent-minded circles on your skin. The room is dim, with only the pale moonlight filtering through the curtains, casting silver shadows on the walls. You shift slightly, turning your head to meet his gaze â those dark, unfathomable eyes that hold centuries of secrets.
He catches your movement, his thumb brushing against your cheek. âYouâre restless,â he murmurs, his voice deep, rich like aged wine. âWhatâs on your mind, mi amor?â
You hesitate, the words forming but refusing to leave your lips. His eyes search yours, and you can feel him pulling the thoughts from your mind without effort.
Youâve always wondered about it â how he knows you so well, how he can sense the shift in your emotions before you even understand them yourself. Itâs not just the years youâve spent together. Itâs him, something innate, something ancient.
âWhy havenât you ever bitten me?â You ask, the question finally slipping out, almost a whisper.
Carlosâ fingers still on your skin. His gaze hardens, though his hold on you remains tender. âWhy do you ask this now?â
You shrug, trying to act nonchalant, though your heart betrays you, thudding loudly in your chest. âIâve just ⌠Iâve been thinking. Youâve told me about what you are, how you became this way, but youâve never-â You swallow, feeling suddenly exposed under his scrutiny. âYouâve never fed from me.â
He sighs, the sound heavy with a burden only he seems to carry. âItâs not something I take lightly.â
âI know that,â you say quickly. âBut ⌠donât you want to?â
Carlos shifts, propping himself up on one elbow so he can look down at you, his expression unreadable. âWant to? Amor, of course I want to. There is nothing I want more than to taste you, to have you be a part of me in the most intimate way possible.â
You shiver, both at his words and the way his gaze darkens, almost as if heâs imagining it now. His thumb brushes your lips, his eyes following the movement as if heâs mesmerized.
âBut I wonât do it,â he adds, pulling his hand back as if burned by the thought. âI refuse.â
âWhy?â
Carlosâ jaw tightens, his gaze flickering to the window, to the world outside. âBecause you donât understand what it means, what it does. Itâs not just a bite, cariĂąo. Itâs a claim. A bond. Itâs forever. I wonât risk your soul for something so ⌠selfish.â
âSelfish?â You frown, pushing yourself up to mirror him. âCarlos, youâre not selfish. Youâve never asked me for anything. Not even this. But what if I want to?â
His eyes snap back to yours, sharp and intense. âYou donât know what youâre asking.â
âThen tell me. Help me understand.â
Carlos leans back against the headboard, running a hand through his dark hair. The movement is so human, so vulnerable, that it makes your heart ache. âItâs hard to explain. Itâs not like in the stories. The bite â itâs pleasure, yes, but itâs also pain. It changes you. It connects us in ways you canât undo. If I bite you ⌠youâll be bound to me. Forever. Thereâs no turning back from that.â
âAnd what if I want that?â You ask softly, your voice barely more than a whisper. âWhat if I want forever with you?â
His eyes close, a pained expression crossing his features. âYou deserve more than this life, this half-existence. You deserve to live, to grow old, to have children if you want them. You deserve a future that I can never give you.â
âI want you,â you say, voice firm. âIâve always wanted you. Youâre my future, Carlos. You know that.â
He shakes his head, a bitter smile on his lips. âIâm not worth that sacrifice.â
âLet me decide that,â you counter. âYou always talk about protecting me, about giving me a choice. Well, Iâm choosing now. I choose you. I want all of you, not just the parts you think are safe.â
Carlosâ gaze softens, the conflict in his eyes evident. He reaches out, cupping your face with both hands, his thumbs brushing over your cheeks. âYou donât know what youâre asking,â he repeats, but this time, thereâs a crack in his voice, a tremor that betrays his resolve.
âThen show me,â you challenge, leaning into his touch. âShow me what it means. Iâm not afraid.â
âYou should be.â
âMaybe. But Iâm not.â
For a long moment, the room is silent, the tension between you a palpable thing. Carlosâ breath is shallow, his grip on you tightening, as if heâs trying to anchor himself, to resist the pull of his own desires.
âIâve lived so long,â he finally says, voice barely above a whisper. âSeen so much. Iâve lost everyone Iâve ever loved. I couldnât bear to lose you too.â
âThen donât,â you whisper back. âDonât lose me. Keep me. Isnât that what you want?â
He doesnât answer, his eyes darkening, the conflict in them warring with the longing you can see. Itâs so close, the tension between you a hairâs breadth from snapping. His breath mingles with yours, his lips hovering just above your skin, his eyes locked on yours.
âCarlos,â you breathe, and itâs both a plea and a surrender.
His hands tighten on your face, and for a moment, you think heâs going to do it, that heâs going to give in to the primal urge you can feel radiating from him. But then, with a low growl, he pulls away, rolling onto his back, covering his eyes with his arm as if the darkness might swallow the desire coursing through him.
âI canât,â he mutters, the words thick with regret. âI wonât do that to you.â
The rejection stings, even though you understand his reasoning. But it doesnât lessen the ache in your chest, the longing you feel. You roll onto your side, facing him, your hand resting on his chest, feeling the steady rhythm of his heart â an oddity in itself, a reminder that heâs not like you, that thereâs a gulf between you no matter how close you are.
âCarlos,â you say softly, tracing patterns over his skin, âif you wonât do it, then tell me why. What are you really afraid of?â
His arm falls away from his eyes, and he turns his head to look at you, his expression weary. âIâm afraid of losing you. Of what that bite would do to us.â
âThen let me reassure you. Iâm not going anywhere.â
He lets out a hollow laugh, the sound bitter. âYou say that now, but you donât understand. You wouldnât be the same after. You might hate me for it. And I couldnât live with that.â
âI could never hate you,â you insist, moving closer, so your body is pressed against his, your warmth bleeding into him. âI love you, Carlos. Iâm here, and Iâm not going anywhere.â
He looks at you, his eyes softer now, full of a tenderness that melts some of the hardness inside you. âYou say that now. But forever is a long time, amor.â
âNot long enough,â you counter, brushing your lips against his, a gentle reassurance. âNot for us.â
Carlosâ fingers trail down your spine, slow and deliberate, making you shiver. âYouâre too good for me.â
âOr maybe youâre too good for me.â
He laughs softly, but itâs a sad sound, full of longing. âI donât deserve you. Not your love, not your devotion. But Iâm a selfish man, and I canât let you go.â
âThen donât.â
He looks at you, and you see the decision forming in his eyes, the resignation mixed with desire. âIf I do this, itâs forever. Youâll be mine, completely, in ways you canât even imagine.â
You nod, your heart pounding in your chest, the weight of his words sinking in. âI know. And Iâm ready.â
Carlos closes his eyes, inhaling deeply as if trying to steady himself. When he opens them again, theyâre darker, the brown nearly black. He leans in, his lips brushing against your neck, sending a thrill down your spine.
âDo you really want this?â He asks one last time, his breath hot against your skin, his fangs barely grazing the surface.
âYes,â you breathe, your voice trembling with anticipation. âYes, Carlos. I want this. I want you.â
His grip tightens, and for a split second, you feel the sharp points of his fangs press against your skin, poised to break through. The world narrows down to this moment, the sound of his breath, the feel of his body against yours, the anticipation so thick you can barely breathe.
But then, just as quickly as the moment comes, it passes. Carlos pulls away with a low growl, rolling off the bed and standing, putting distance between you. âNo. I wonât.â
You sit up, confused, hurt. âCarlos-â
He holds up a hand, his back to you. âNo. I canât do this. I canât condemn you to my life, to this existence. I love you too much to do that.â
You stare at his back, anger and hurt knotting in your chest. The distance heâs put between you feels like a chasm, like something that might never be crossed again. But you refuse to let it end here, to let him make this decision without understanding how much it means to you.
âCarlos, turn around,â you demand, your voice trembling, but resolute.
He doesnât move. His shoulders are tense, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. Itâs like heâs fighting a battle within himself, one you canât see, but can feel in the air, thick with unspoken words and untapped emotions.
âPlease,â you plead, softer now, trying to reach him. âLook at me.â
Finally, he turns, but the expression on his face is one of torment. His dark eyes are haunted, filled with a deep sorrow that makes your heart ache even more.
âYou donât understand what youâre asking,â he says, his voice rough, as if every word is a struggle. âThis isnât just a moment of passion, amor. This is your life weâre talking about. Your soul.â
âI do understand,â you insist, pushing yourself off the bed and taking a tentative step toward him. âIâve thought about this, Carlos. Iâve thought about it so much. And Iâve made my decision. I want this. I want you. All of you.â
He shakes his head, backing away from you, the pain in his eyes cutting deep. âAnd what happens when you regret it? When you realize that youâve given up everything â your humanity, your future â for someone like me?â
âI wonât regret it,â you argue, closing the distance between you. âI love you. I want to be with you. I want to share everything with you, including this.â
Carlosâ jaw tightens, and he turns his head away, as if he canât bear to look at you. âYouâre asking me to damn you, to bind you to a life that isnât really living.â
âMaybe thatâs what you believe,â you say, reaching out to touch his arm, the warmth of your skin meeting the coolness of his. âBut thatâs not how I see it. To me, this is living. Being with you is living.â
His eyes snap back to yours, and thereâs a flash of something â desperation, need, fear. âYouâre asking me to do something I canât undo. Once I bite you, once I take your blood ⌠thereâs no going back.â
âI know,â you whisper, your fingers trailing down his arm, finding his hand and squeezing it. âAnd Iâm okay with that. Iâm ready.â
Carlosâ hand trembles in yours, and you can feel the tension in him, the way heâs holding back, the way heâs trying so hard to protect you â even from yourself.
âPlease, Carlos,â you beg, your voice breaking. âPlease. Donât push me away. Donât make this decision for me.â
He inhales sharply, as if your words have struck him, and for a moment, you think heâs going to deny you again. But then his grip tightens on your hand, and he pulls you against him, his arms wrapping around you in a fierce, possessive embrace.
âYou donât know what youâre asking,â he murmurs into your hair, his voice thick with emotion. âBut if this is what you truly want ⌠if this is what you need ⌠then Iâll give it to you.â
Your heart skips a beat, relief flooding through you. âIt is. Itâs what I want. More than anything.â
He pulls back just enough to look into your eyes, his expression a mix of longing and torment. âThere are so many places I could bite you,â he says, his voice low and husky, each word laced with desire. âSo many ways I could claim you.â
Your breath hitches as his hand trails up your arm, his fingers ghosting over your skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. âShow me,â you whisper, your voice trembling with anticipation.
Carlosâ eyes darken, and he leans in, his lips brushing against the curve of your neck, right where your pulse beats furiously beneath the surface. âHere,â he murmurs, his breath warm against your skin. âThe neck is traditional. Itâs intimate, close to the heart. But itâs also dangerous. One mistake, and âŚâ
He doesnât finish the sentence, but you know what he means. The neck is risky, the blood vessels close to the surface, the possibility of draining too much, too fast, always a threat.
âBut there are other places,â he continues, his lips moving down to your collarbone, kissing the hollow there. âThe collarbone is sensitive, a place where the skin is thin, the blood rich. Itâs ⌠pleasurable.â
Your fingers curl into his shirt, your body trembling as he moves lower, his mouth trailing down your arm, stopping at the inside of your elbow. âHere, the veins are close to the surface. Itâs a slower process, more drawn out. Some say itâs the most intimate because itâs less about hunger and more about connection.â
His lips graze the inside of your wrist, and you shiver, the sensation almost too much. âThe wrist is quick, efficient. Itâs what we use when weâre in need, when weâre desperate.â
Youâre barely breathing now, your pulse pounding in your ears as he moves lower, down your body, dropping to his knees before you. His hands glide over your thighs, pushing up the fabric of your nightgown, exposing your skin inch by inch.
âBut thereâs one place,â he says, his voice a deep rumble, vibrating through you, âthatâs the most pleasurable of all. The femoral artery.â
You gasp as his hands part your thighs, his fingers tracing the sensitive skin there, his mouth hovering just above the spot heâs describing. âItâs deep, powerful, connected to the core of you. The blood is richest here. Itâs where the pleasure is ⌠overwhelming.â
Carlosâ words send a shiver down your spine, a mixture of fear and desire coiling in your stomach. He looks up at you, his eyes dark and intense, waiting for your response.
You nod, your voice catching in your throat. âYes. Yes, Carlos. Please.â
His eyes darken further, a predatory glint flashing in them as he presses a kiss to your inner thigh, right where the femoral artery pulses beneath the skin. âAre you sure, amor? Once I do this, thereâs no going back.â
âIâm sure,â you whisper, your voice trembling with anticipation and desire. âI want this. I want you.â
Carlos closes his eyes for a moment, as if steeling himself, before looking up at you again, his gaze locking with yours. âThen lie back, mi amor. Let me show you what it means to truly be mine.â
Your heart races as you do as he says, lying back on the bed, your legs parted just enough for him to kneel between them. He moves with a grace that belies the intensity in his eyes, the hunger that you can feel rolling off him in waves.
He leans over you, his hands bracing on either side of your hips, his body caging yours in. You feel his breath against your skin, the warmth of it contrasting with the coolness of his touch. His lips ghost over your thigh, making you shiver, the anticipation almost unbearable.
âLast chance to change your mind,â he murmurs, his voice thick with need, but also with concern.
âI wonât change my mind,â you assure him, your voice steady, despite the wild beating of your heart. âI trust you, Carlos. I want this.â
He nods, his gaze holding yours for a long moment, before he lowers his head, his lips brushing over the spot on your thigh where the artery pulses. You can feel the tension in him, the way heâs holding back, even now, trying to control the hunger that you know is clawing at him from the inside.
And then, with a soft growl, he gives in. His fangs sink into your flesh, piercing the artery, and a shock of pain lances through you, sharp and sudden. But itâs quickly followed by something else â something warm and deep, a pleasure so intense it takes your breath away.
You gasp, your back arching off the bed as the sensation floods through you. Itâs like nothing youâve ever felt before, a mix of pain and pleasure thatâs almost overwhelming. You can feel him drawing from you, the pull of your blood as it flows into him, as if heâs taking a part of you into himself, claiming you in a way thatâs both physical and spiritual.
Carlosâ grip on your thighs tightens, his body pressing closer to yours as he drinks, the growl in his throat deepening, vibrating through your skin. The connection between you sharpens, the bond forming in that moment, and you can feel him â his emotions, his thoughts, the depth of his love for you, the hunger thatâs been denied for so long.
Itâs too much, and yet not enough. You want more, need more, the sensation building to a crescendo inside you, threatening to drown you in its intensity. You canât hold back the cry that escapes your lips, a sound of both pain and pleasure, as Carlos drinks deeply, the bond between you solidifying, becoming something unbreakable, eternal.
And just when you think you canât take any more, when the pleasure is about to tip into something else, something darker, Carlos pulls back, his fangs sliding from your flesh.
Your body trembles beneath him, every nerve on fire as the sensation of his bite fades, replaced by a different kind of need â one that is more intense, more primal. Carlosâ lips linger on your thigh, his breath hot against your skin as he laps at the small puncture wounds, each touch sending sparks through you. The pain has morphed into pleasure, a deep, pulsing ache that leaves you breathless and wanting more.
Slowly, Carlos begins to kiss his way up your leg, his mouth tracing a path of heat along your skin. Each kiss is deliberate, a promise of whatâs to come, and you can feel the tension building in your core, tightening with every brush of his lips.
When he reaches the apex of your thighs, he pauses, his gaze flicking up to meet yours. His eyes are dark, filled with a hunger that sends a shiver down your spine. âIâve never tasted anything sweeter,â he murmurs, his voice rough with desire. âYouâre everything, mi amor. Everything.â
The words send a rush of warmth through you, and you gasp as he presses his mouth against the bundle of nerves thatâs already so sensitive, so primed. His tongue flicks over it, teasing, tasting, before he sinks his fang into the delicate skin with a precision that leaves you gasping, your body arching into him as the sharp pain gives way to an overwhelming flood of pleasure.
Itâs too much, too intense, and you feel yourself tipping over the edge, a cry tearing from your lips as the pleasure crests, crashing over you like a wave. Carlos doesnât stop, his tongue lapping at the release, drawing out every last ounce of your pleasure, until youâre trembling, boneless beneath him.
As the aftershocks of your release fade, youâre left panting, your heart racing in your chest. Carlos pulls back, his eyes heavy-lidded, his lips glistening with the remnants of your release. Thereâs a reverence in the way he looks at you, a kind of awe that makes your heart squeeze.
âI could never have imagined âŚâ His voice is husky, almost reverent as he speaks. âYouâre perfect, mi amor. Iâve never tasted anything so sweet, so pure.â
Youâre still trying to catch your breath, your mind spinning from the intensity of what just happened. But even through the haze, you can sense the change in him â the way heâs looking at you, the way his touch is more possessive, more reverent.
He sits up slightly, one hand still resting on your thigh, his thumb brushing over the marks heâs left on your skin. His other hand rises to his mouth, and you watch, mesmerized, as he bites into his own wrist, his fangs piercing the skin with ease.
The sight is strangely beautiful, the dark blood welling up from the wound, and your breath catches as he holds his wrist out to you, the offer unspoken but clear.
âIf you take this,â Carlos says, his voice low and serious, âthereâs no going back. Our connection will be permanent, unbreakable. It will be something that words canât describe, something that transcends everything.â
You stare at his wrist, your mind racing. Youâve come this far, crossed lines you never thought you would. But this â this is different. This is forever. Itâs not just about desire or love; itâs about binding your soul to his, about becoming something more than human.
Your heart pounds in your chest as you look up at him, searching his eyes for any sign of doubt. But thereâs nothing there but certainty, a deep, unwavering conviction that this is right, that this is what he wants â what he needs.
âCarlos,â you whisper, your voice trembling with emotion. âAre you sure?â
His gaze softens, and he leans down, brushing his lips over yours in a tender, lingering kiss. âIâve never been more sure of anything in my life, mi amor. You are everything to me. Without you, thereâs nothing. With you ⌠thereâs everything.â
His words wrap around your heart, and you know, deep down, that this is what you want too. Youâve always known. Thereâs no turning back now, no second-guessing. This is the moment where everything changes, where you choose him â forever.
You reach up, your hand trembling slightly as you take hold of his wrist, your fingers brushing over the wound. The blood is warm, almost hot against your skin, and as you bring his wrist to your lips, you can feel the connection between you deepening, solidifying.
Carlos watches you, his gaze intense, as you press your lips to his wrist, the taste of his blood filling your mouth. Itâs unlike anything youâve ever experienced â a mix of power and warmth, a connection that thrums through your veins, setting every nerve alight.
As you drink, you can feel the bond forming, something deeper than love, more primal, more eternal. Itâs as if your souls are intertwining, becoming one, and you know that this is forever â that no matter what happens, youâll never be alone again.
When you finally pull back, youâre breathless, your heart pounding in your chest. Carlos leans down, his forehead resting against yours, his breath mingling with yours as you both come to terms with what youâve just done.
âWeâre bound now,â he murmurs, his voice filled with a mixture of awe and reverence. âYouâre mine, and Iâm yours. Forever.â
The weight of his words settles over you, but instead of fear or doubt, all you feel is a deep sense of rightness, of belonging. âI wouldnât have it any other way,â you whisper, your hand reaching up to cup his cheek.
He turns his head slightly, pressing a kiss to your palm, his eyes never leaving yours. âTe amo,â he says, the words filled with a depth of emotion that takes your breath away. âMore than I ever thought possible.â
Your heart swells at his words, and you pull him down into a kiss, needing to feel him close, needing to solidify the bond youâve just created. He responds immediately, his lips moving against yours with a passion that leaves you dizzy, your body arching into his as the connection between you flares, burning bright and hot.
The world around you fades away, leaving only the two of you, bound together in a way that transcends everything else. Itâs more than love, more than desire â itâs a union of souls, something that goes beyond the physical, something that words canât fully capture.
As you lose yourself in the kiss, in the feel of him against you, inside you, you know that this is where youâre meant to be. That no matter what comes next, no matter what challenges you face, youâll always have Carlos by your side.
And that, more than anything, is what makes this moment perfect.
***
The days blur into weeks, then months, each moment with Carlos etching itself into your very being. The bond between you deepens, growing more intense, more consuming with each passing night. Itâs as if every fiber of your existence has been rewired, attuned to him and the pleasure he brings â a pleasure that has become intrinsically linked to his bite.
It happens gradually, almost imperceptibly at first. The way your body responds to him shifts, your desires sharpening, focusing on the exquisite pain-pleasure of his fangs sinking into your flesh. Itâs as though youâve been conditioned, your body trained to crave that sensation, to need it in a way that feels as vital as breathing.
Carlos notices it too. Heâs always been attuned to your every reaction, but now thereâs a deliberateness to his touch, a calculated precision in the way he teases you, pushes you right to the brink and then holds you there, on the edge of that abyss, until youâre practically begging for his bite.
And you do beg. You plead with him, your voice breathless, desperate, as you arch against him, needing that release only he can give. Itâs a need that runs deeper than anything youâve ever felt, a craving that consumes you whole.
Carlos indulges you, but thereâs a darkness in his eyes when he does, a look of concern that lingers even as he gives you what you so desperately desire. Itâs as if he knows the power he holds over you, the way heâs shaping you, molding you into something thatâs more his than your own.
And yet, even with that knowledge, he canât resist you. Heâs as much a slave to your connection as you are, caught in the web youâve spun together, tangled in the threads of desire and love that bind you.
One night, as you lie together in the dark, the world outside forgotten, Carlosâ hand drifts down your body, his touch feather-light, tracing patterns on your skin. The tension is already coiling in your belly, your body responding to him instinctively, anticipating whatâs to come.
âCarlos,â you whisper, your voice a plea as you tilt your head to the side, offering him your throat. Itâs become almost ritualistic now, this dance you do together â the way you give yourself to him, the way he takes.
He hesitates for a moment, his fingers brushing over the marks on your neck, the ones that have healed over but are still faintly visible, a reminder of the many times heâs bitten you there. âAre you sure?â He asks, his voice low, tinged with that same concern thatâs been growing more frequent lately.
You nod, your heart pounding in your chest. âPlease, Carlos. I need it. I need you.â
The words are raw, stripped of any pretense, and you see the way they affect him, the way his gaze darkens with a mix of desire and something deeper, something that borders on regret.
But he doesnât deny you. He never does.
His lips ghost over your skin, soft and teasing, before he bites down, his fangs sinking into the tender flesh of your throat. The pain is sharp, but itâs immediately followed by that rush of pleasure, that intoxicating mix of agony and ecstasy that only he can bring you.
Your body arches into him, your breath catching in your throat as you cling to him, needing to anchor yourself against the wave of sensation that crashes over you. Carlosâ hand slips between your legs, his fingers finding that bundle of nerves thatâs become so sensitive, so primed for him, and you cry out as he rubs slow, deliberate circles there, pushing you closer and closer to the edge.
But itâs not enough. Itâs never enough without his bite, without that sharp, exquisite pain that sends you spiraling into oblivion. And Carlos knows this â he knows you too well by now, knows exactly what you need, what you crave.
He pulls back from your throat, his lips stained with your blood, and you whimper at the loss, at the way your body tightens with unfulfilled need. But then heâs shifting, moving down your body, his mouth trailing hot, open-mouthed kisses along your skin, each one a promise, a prelude to whatâs coming.
When he reaches that spot between your legs, he doesnât hesitate. He presses his mouth against you, his tongue flicking over your clit with a precision that has you gasping, your hips bucking against him as the pleasure builds, sharp and intense.
And then you feel it â the sharp sting of his fang as it nicks that delicate skin, a jolt of pain that sends you careening over the edge, your release crashing over you like a tidal wave, so powerful it leaves you breathless, trembling beneath him.
Carlos doesnât stop. He laps at your release, his tongue gentle now, soothing, as if heâs trying to ease you down from that high. But thereâs a hunger in the way he moves, a desperation that mirrors your own, as if heâs just as consumed by this need as you are.
When he finally pulls back, his gaze is intense, filled with a mix of satisfaction and something darker, something that sends a shiver down your spine. Heâs still kneeling between your legs, his hands resting on your thighs, holding you in place as if heâs afraid you might slip away.
Youâre still catching your breath, your mind spinning from the intensity of your release, when you see him bite into his wrist again, the motion almost automatic now, a part of your shared ritual.
But this time, something inside you shifts. As he brings his wrist to your lips, the words spill out before you can stop them, a plea thatâs been building inside you for weeks, maybe even longer.
âCarlos ⌠turn me.â
The words hang in the air between you, heavy with meaning, and you see the way they affect him, the way his entire body goes still, his gaze locking onto yours with a look of shock, of fear.
âDonât say that,â he whispers, his voice harsh, almost pleading. âDonât ask me for that.â
You shake your head, your heart pounding in your chest. âIâm serious, Carlos. I want this. I want to be with you, forever.â
His grip on your thighs tightens, and you can see the battle warring within him, the conflict between his desire and his fear. âYou donât know what youâre asking for,â he says, his voice raw with emotion. âYou donât know what it means to live like this, to be bound by this curse.â
âI donât care,â you say, your voice firm, resolute. âI want you, Carlos. I want everything that comes with you. Iâm not afraid.â
He closes his eyes, his jaw clenching as he struggles to maintain control. âYou should be afraid,â he says, his voice barely above a whisper. âYou should be terrified.â
âBut Iâm not,â you insist, reaching up to cup his face, forcing him to look at you. âI trust you, Carlos. I know youâll take care of me. I know youâll never let me become a monster.â
His eyes search yours, and you can see the pain there, the agony of knowing that youâre asking him to do something that goes against everything heâs ever wanted for you. But you also see the love, the overwhelming depth of it, and you know that he wonât be able to deny you â not when it comes to this.
âPlease,â you whisper, your voice breaking with emotion. âI need this, Carlos. I need you. Please, turn me.â
For a moment, he doesnât move, doesnât breathe. But then, slowly, he nods, his expression one of resignation, of acceptance. âOkay,â he says, his voice hollow. âOkay.â
He leans down, pressing a kiss to your forehead, a gesture thatâs both tender and heartbreaking. âI love you,â he whispers, his voice trembling. âIâll love you forever.â
You close your eyes, letting his words wash over you, grounding yourself in the knowledge that this is right, that this is what you both want, what you both need.
And then you feel it â the sharp, burning pain as his fangs sink into your neck, deeper this time, more final. The pain is excruciating, a fire that spreads through your veins, consuming you from the inside out. But even through the agony, you can feel the love, the connection, the bond thatâs deepening with every drop of blood he takes.
Your vision begins to blur, the edges darkening as the life slowly drains from you. But thereâs no fear, no regret â only a deep, abiding love, a certainty that this is where youâre meant to be, where youâve always belonged.
As the darkness closes in, you hear Carlosâ voice, soft and broken, the last thing you hold onto as everything fades to black. âIâm sorry,â he whispers, his voice filled with a sorrow so profound it cuts through the haze, piercing your heart even as it stops beating.
And then thereâs nothing.
***
The transition from mortal to vampire is startlingly smooth, almost effortless. Carlos had warned you â countless times â about the challenges, the inevitable struggles that come with your new existence. But those struggles never seem to materialize. Instead, you find yourself reveling in your newfound abilities, your senses heightened, your strength amplified. The world feels different, richer, as if youâve been given the key to unlock its deepest secrets.
Youâve always been adaptable, but this ⌠this is something else entirely. The hunger that gnawed at you in the first few days is now a familiar, almost comforting presence, easily sated with each hunt. The speed and agility that come so naturally to you feel like an extension of your own will, as if you were always meant to move this way, to live this way.
Carlos watches you closely, his concern never far from the surface, but even he canât deny how easily youâve taken to this new life. Heâd expected turmoil, conflict â a struggle to reconcile your old self with the creature youâve become. But instead, he sees you thrive, sees the joy in your eyes each time you embrace your abilities.
What he doesnât see â what even you hadnât expected â is how much you enjoy the power dynamics between the two of you. The bond between a maker and their progeny is unlike anything youâve ever experienced, a connection so deep, so intimate, itâs almost overwhelming. And with it comes a power that Carlos wields with an authority that both excites and unnerves you.
Itâs not something you would have predicted. Youâve always been independent, headstrong, not one to easily submit to anyoneâs will. But with Carlos, itâs different. Thereâs something intoxicating about the way he commands you, the way his voice slips into your mind, into your very soul, compelling you to obey.
You didnât think youâd enjoy it. But you do. More than youâd care to admit.
Tonight, the tension between you simmers, a palpable energy that crackles in the air as you move through the shadows together. Youâd pushed your limits earlier, testing the boundaries of your new life, staying out far later than you should have, pushing Carlosâ patience to its edge.
Now, as the first light of dawn threatens the horizon, you can feel his disapproval like a weight, a dark cloud hanging over you as you step inside. The door closes behind you with a soft click, the sound far too final, too ominous for your liking.
âWhere were you?â His voice is low, controlled, but thereâs an edge to it, a hint of the anger heâs trying so hard to keep in check.
You shrug, trying to appear nonchalant as you brush past him, heading for the stairs. âJust hunting,â you say, your tone light, almost flippant. âI lost track of time.â
Carlos is on you in an instant, his hand wrapping around your wrist, pulling you to a stop. âHunting?â He repeats, his eyes narrowing as he studies you, his gaze piercing. âYou nearly got caught by the sunrise. Do you have any idea what could have happened?â
You canât help the small pout that forms on your lips as you turn to face him, your eyes wide, innocent. âI was fine, Carlos. I can take care of myself.â
But he doesnât let go, his grip firm, unyielding. âThatâs not the point, and you know it,â he says, his voice a low growl. âYou were reckless. You put yourself at risk. And you made me worry.â
The guilt that flickers in your chest is quickly overshadowed by the thrill of his dominance, the way heâs looking at you now â like he could devour you whole, like he might just do it to prove a point.
You press your lips together, trying to suppress the smile that tugs at the corners of your mouth. âI didnât mean to worry you,â you say, softening your tone, but thereâs still a hint of defiance there, a challenge in the way you look at him.
Carlosâ eyes darken, and you know youâve pushed him too far. âYou need to understand something,â he says, his voice dropping even lower, each word a slow, deliberate threat. âI am your maker. When I tell you to be careful, you will listen. When I tell you to come home, you will come home. And when I command you to obey, you will obey.â
The words send a shiver down your spine, not out of fear, but out of something far more primal. The power he holds over you is intoxicating, and you feel it wrap around you like a vice, squeezing, tightening until you can barely breathe.
âYes, Carlos,â you say, your voice a breathless whisper, your defiance crumbling beneath the weight of his command.
His gaze locks onto yours, and for a moment, the world narrows to just the two of you, the air between you charged with electricity. Then he releases your wrist, but the hold he has on you is far from gone. He steps closer, his body crowding yours, and you find yourself backing up until your back hits the wall, trapping you in place.
âYou think this is a game,â he says, his voice soft now, almost tender, but thereâs a warning there, a promise of whatâs to come. âBut itâs not. You need to learn, querida.â
Your breath hitches in your throat as he leans in, his lips brushing against your ear. âYou like to push me, donât you?â He murmurs, his voice a dark, velvet caress. âYou like to see how far you can go before I snap.â
A shudder runs through you, and you tilt your head slightly, giving him more access, more control. âMaybe,â you admit, your voice barely audible.
He chuckles softly, a sound thatâs as dangerous as it is seductive. âThen I suppose Iâll have to show you exactly what happens when you push me too far.â
Before you can react, heâs on you, his mouth crashing down on yours with a force that steals your breath, a kiss thatâs more punishment than pleasure. But you crave it, need it, and you kiss him back with equal fervor, your hands tangling in his hair, pulling him closer.
He doesnât let up, his lips demanding, his tongue claiming you, dominating you with a skill that leaves you dizzy, disoriented. When he finally pulls back, youâre panting, your heart racing, and you can see the satisfaction in his eyes, the way heâs already won this game youâve been playing.
But Carlos isnât done. His hand trails down your body, leaving a path of fire in its wake, until heâs gripping your thigh, pulling your leg up around his waist. âYouâre mine,â he says, his voice rough with possessiveness. âAnd Iâm going to make sure you never forget it.â
The words send a jolt of heat through you, and you canât help the moan that escapes your lips as he presses his body against yours, trapping you between him and the wall. You can feel his strength, the raw power that he so rarely unleashes on you, and it makes you tremble with anticipation.
âIâm going to punish you,â Carlos whispers, his lips brushing against your neck, right over the spot where he first bit you, marking you as his forever. âBut youâre going to love every second of it.â
You swallow hard, the weight of his promise settling over you like a heavy, suffocating blanket. âCarlos âŚâ you begin, but your words trail off as his hand slides up under your dress, his fingers finding the heat between your legs with unerring accuracy.
You gasp, your body arching into his touch, but heâs not gentle, not this time. His fingers are demanding, ruthless, as they tease you, taunt you, pushing you closer to the edge with each passing second. But even as the pleasure builds, a knot of tension coiling in your belly, you know he wonât let you have it â not yet.
Carlos leans in, his lips brushing against your ear. âYou donât get to come until I say so,â he commands, his voice low, dangerous. âNo matter how badly you want it. Understand?â
You whimper, your body trembling as you try to process his words, but the pleasure is overwhelming, consuming, and youâre not sure you can hold back. âCarlos ⌠please âŚâ
He tightens his grip on your thigh, his fingers still working you with relentless precision. âDo you understand?â He repeats, his voice sharp, cutting through the haze of your desire.
âYes,â you gasp, the word slipping out before you can stop it. âYes, I understand.â
âGood,â he says, and thereâs a dark satisfaction in his voice, a thrill that sends another shiver down your spine. âNow be a good girl and take what I give you.â
His fingers delve deeper, and youâre helpless against the onslaught of sensation, your mind blanking out everything except the feel of him, the way heâs playing your body like a finely tuned instrument. But no matter how hard you try, you canât reach that peak, canât tip over the edge without his permission.
Itâs maddening, frustrating in a way that leaves you teetering on the brink of insanity, and you can feel tears of desperation welling up in your eyes as you claw at him, begging for something you know he wonât give you.
âPlease,â you sob, your voice raw, broken. âPlease, Carlos ⌠I need it âŚâ
Carlosâ wicked smile lingers as he draws out your agony, savoring every moment of your desperate pleas. His fingers continue their relentless assault, pushing you closer and closer to the brink, but never allowing you the release you so desperately crave. Itâs a torturous game, one that heâs mastered, and youâre helpless under his control.
Your breaths come in ragged gasps, and tears blur your vision as you claw at his back, your nails digging into his skin. âCarlos, please,â you beg, your voice breaking. âIâll do anything ⌠please âŚâ
His eyes darken, the satisfaction in them almost predatory as he leans in closer, his lips brushing against your ear. âAnything?â He murmurs, his voice a seductive whisper that sends a shiver down your spine.
You nod frantically, your mind too clouded by desire to even consider the implications of what youâre agreeing to. âYes, anything,â you gasp, your voice trembling with desperation. âJust ⌠please âŚâ
Carlosâ lips curve into a slow, dangerous smile as he shifts his hand slightly, changing the angle of his fingers, and you nearly scream at the overwhelming sensation. But just as you feel yourself teetering on the edge, he stops, his hand stilling completely.
âNo!â The word tears from your throat in a ragged sob, and you feel the tears spill over, trailing down your cheeks as you shake your head in disbelief. âCarlos, please, donât âŚâ
He captures your chin between his thumb and forefinger, forcing you to look up at him. His expression is intense, his gaze locking onto yours with a force that steals your breath. âListen to me, mi amor,â he says, his voice low, commanding. âI need you to understand something.â
You try to nod, but his grip on your chin keeps you still, his hold unyielding as he continues. âYou are mine,â he says, his tone leaving no room for argument. âYou belong to me, body and soul. And as your maker, it is my responsibility to protect you, to keep you safe.â
You swallow hard, your breath catching in your throat as you feel the weight of his words, the gravity of the bond between you. Itâs not just about possession, about control â itâs about something deeper, something primal that connects you in a way that goes beyond anything youâve ever known.
âAnd you will never put yourself at risk again,â Carlos continues, his voice growing darker, more dangerous with each word. âDo you understand? You will never do anything that could endanger you, or anything that you know I would disapprove of.â
Your heart races as his words sink in, the power of his command wrapping around you like a vice, squeezing until itâs all you can think about, all you can feel. Thereâs no choice here, no room for defiance or rebellion â his will is absolute, and you are powerless against it.
âYes, Carlos,â you whisper, your voice barely audible as you nod slowly. âI understand.â
His eyes search yours, as if looking for any hint of doubt, any sign that you might disobey him. But youâve never been more certain of anything in your life. The thought of going against him, of putting yourself in danger again, is unthinkable, not just because of the consequences, but because you know how much it would hurt him.
Carlos seems satisfied with your answer, his expression softening slightly as he releases your chin. âGood,â he says, his voice low, but no less commanding. âI donât ever want to have this conversation again.â
You shake your head quickly, your heart pounding in your chest as you press yourself closer to him. âWe wonât,â you promise, your voice trembling with sincerity. âI swear, Carlos. Iâll be careful. I wonât ⌠I wonât make you worry again.â
For a moment, he simply stares at you, his eyes dark and unreadable. Then, without warning, he crushes his lips against yours, kissing you with a ferocity that leaves you breathless, your body trembling under the force of his desire. Itâs a kiss thatâs both a punishment and a reward, a reminder of the power he holds over you and the depths of his need for you.
Carlosâ hands are everywhere, his touch rough, possessive, as he pulls you even closer, his body pressing against yours until thereâs no space left between you. You can feel his control slipping, the leash heâs kept on himself fraying with each passing second, and it only heightens your own need, your own desperate desire to be consumed by him.
He pulls back slightly, his lips trailing down your neck, and you shiver as his breath ghosts over your skin. âYou drive me crazy,â he murmurs against your throat, his voice low, a growl that sends a thrill of anticipation through you. âDo you know that? You push me to the edge, and I canât help but want to take you there with me.â
Your breath hitches as you feel his fangs scrape against your skin, a light, teasing touch that makes you whimper in anticipation. âCarlos âŚâ
His name is a plea, a prayer, and you feel his lips curve into a smile against your neck. âTell me what you want, amor,â he whispers, his voice dark and seductive. âBeg me for it.â
Your heart races, your body trembling as you clutch at him, your fingers digging into his shoulders. âPlease,â you gasp, your voice desperate, pleading. âPlease, Carlos ⌠I need it. I need you.â
He chuckles softly, a sound thatâs both cruel and comforting, and you feel his hand slide down to grip your thigh, lifting it to wrap around his waist. âI want to hear you say it,â he murmurs, his lips brushing against the spot where your pulse races just beneath the surface. âBeg me to bite you.â
The words send a shiver down your spine, and you know heâs testing you, pushing you to the edge of your endurance. But youâre too far gone to care, too desperate for his touch, his bite, to even think about pride or resistance.
âPlease,â you whisper, your voice trembling as you tilt your head back, offering him your throat. âPlease, Carlos ⌠bite me. I need it. I need you.â
Carlos growls low in his throat, a sound that vibrates through you, igniting a fire deep in your core. âGood girl,â he murmurs, his voice rough with approval. âYouâve been so good for me.â
His lips brush against your skin, soft and teasing, before he sinks his fangs into your neck with a sharp, sudden bite. The pain is brief, almost sweet, as it melts into a wave of pleasure that crashes over you, stealing your breath, your thoughts, until thereâs nothing left but the feel of him, the way he consumes you.
Your vision blurs as the sensation overwhelms you, your body trembling uncontrollably in his arms. You can feel the pull of his fangs, the way he draws your blood with each slow, deliberate suck, and itâs intoxicating, a pleasure so intense it borders on pain.
But even as you feel yourself slipping away, lost in the ecstasy of his bite, Carlos is there, grounding you, his hands strong and sure as they hold you close. You can hear his voice, a low, soothing murmur in your ear, though you canât make out the words â just the sound of it, the way it wraps around you, comforting you even as he drains you.
And then, just as you think you canât take any more, just as you feel yourself beginning to fade, Carlos pulls back, his fangs slipping from your neck as he licks the wound closed with a tenderness that belies the intensity of his actions.
Youâre left gasping, your body trembling with aftershocks, and you can barely hold yourself up as you cling to him, your mind a haze of pleasure and exhaustion. But Carlos isnât done with you yet. He lifts you effortlessly, carrying you to the bed and laying you down with a gentleness that makes your heart ache.
He hovers over you, his eyes dark and unreadable as he studies your face, his hand brushing a strand of hair from your cheek. âYouâre mine,â he says softly, his voice full of possessiveness, but also something deeper, something that makes your chest tighten with emotion. âAlways.â
You can only nod, your voice lost in the whirlwind of sensations that still linger in your body. But you donât need words â he can see it in your eyes, feel it in the way you cling to him, the way your body responds to his every touch.
Carlos leans in, his lips brushing against yours in a kiss thatâs achingly tender, a stark contrast to the roughness of his earlier actions. Itâs a kiss that seals a promise, a bond that goes beyond the physical, beyond the blood youâve shared.
But even as he pulls away, his eyes darken with something else, something that makes your pulse quicken with anticipation. âIâm not done with you yet,â he murmurs, his voice a low, dangerous purr that sends a thrill of excitement through you. âYou still havenât earned your release, querida.â
Your eyes widen, your breath catching in your throat as his words sink in. Youâre still trembling, still reeling from the pleasure of his bite, but you know better than to think heâs going to let you off easy. Carlos is nothing if not thorough, and when he promises to punish you, he always follows through.
Carlosâ words hang in the air, a tantalizing promise that leaves you trembling with anticipation. His body is a solid weight against yours, pinning you to the bed, and every touch, every brush of his skin against yours sends shockwaves of desire through you.
Yet, thereâs a new tension in the room now, something more than just the heady mix of pain and pleasure. Itâs the awareness that this is a punishment â a lesson, a reminder of the power he holds over you. But even as you dread the torment he might inflict, a part of you craves it, revels in the way he takes control.
âDo you remember what I told you?â Carlosâ voice is a low growl, rich with authority, and you can feel the rumble of it in his chest against yours. His hand trails down your side, a teasing touch that makes you shiver. âAbout how youâre not allowed to tip over the edge until I say so?â
You swallow hard, your throat dry, and nod slowly. âYes,â you whisper, your voice trembling with the weight of your need. âI remember.â
âGood,â he murmurs, his lips curving into a dangerous smile as he watches your reaction. âBecause Iâm not finished with you yet. Not even close.â
With deliberate slowness, he shifts his body, moving down your length, and the absence of his weight leaves you feeling exposed, vulnerable. His hands glide over your skin, tracing patterns that make you gasp, his touch both soothing and electrifying. You try to lift your hips, desperate for some kind of friction, but Carlosâ hands are there, holding you down with a gentle but firm pressure.
âAh, ah,â he tuts softly, shaking his head. âNo moving. Youâre going to lie there and take what I give you, understand?â
Your breath catches at the command in his voice, and you bite your lip, nodding. âYes, Carlos,â you murmur, your voice barely audible.
His eyes darken with approval, and you can feel the heat of his gaze as it roams over your body, taking in every inch of you. âThatâs my girl,â he purrs, his voice dripping with satisfaction. âSo obedient ⌠so eager to please.â
Carlosâ hands slide lower, over the curve of your hips, the sensitive skin of your inner thighs, and you shudder as his fingers brush against the place where you ache for him the most. But just as quickly, he pulls back, leaving you teetering on the edge of frustration.
You let out a small, involuntary whimper, your body trembling with need, and Carlosâ eyes flash with something dark and primal. âPatience, mi amor,â he whispers, his voice a soothing caress. âYouâll get what you want ⌠but only when Iâm ready to give it to you.â
The anticipation is excruciating, each passing second a slow torture as Carlos continues to explore your body with languid, deliberate movements. Every brush of his fingers, every kiss he places on your skin, is designed to drive you mad with desire, to push you closer and closer to the edge without ever letting you fall over.
âCarlos,â you gasp, your voice trembling as you reach for him, needing to feel him, to touch him. âPlease âŚâ
But he catches your wrists in his hands, pinning them above your head as he leans in, his breath warm against your ear. âYouâre not in charge here,â he murmurs, his voice dark with intent. âI am. Youâll come when I say you can, and not a second before.â
The power in his words sends a thrill through you, even as you struggle against the restraints heâs placed on you. Thereâs something intoxicating about surrendering completely to him, about giving up control and letting him take the lead. And as much as it frustrates you, you canât deny the way your body responds to his dominance, to the way he commands you with just a word, a touch.
Carlos releases your wrists, but the weight of his command keeps you in place, your arms trembling as you resist the urge to reach for him again. He moves lower, his lips trailing down your stomach, and you canât help the way your muscles twitch under his touch, every nerve ending alive with sensation.
He pauses just above your core, his breath ghosting over your skin, and your hips lift instinctively, seeking contact, but he pulls back again, a low chuckle rumbling in his chest. âSo impatient,â he murmurs, his voice laced with amusement. âBut I suppose I canât blame you ⌠after all, Iâve kept you waiting for so long.â
Your breath hitches as he finally dips his head, his mouth descending on you with a deliberate slowness that makes you gasp. The first touch of his tongue is a shock of pleasure that sends a jolt through your body, and you arch off the bed, a cry tearing from your throat.
Carlos hums in approval, his grip on your thighs tightening as he holds you in place, his tongue working you with a skill that leaves you breathless. Heâs relentless, his movements precise, calculated to push you closer and closer to the edge without ever letting you tip over.
Youâre a mess of gasps and moans, your hands clutching at the sheets as you writhe under his touch, your body straining for release that remains just out of reach. The tension coils tighter and tighter, until you feel like you might shatter from the pressure.
âCarlos ⌠please âŚâ The words are a broken plea, a desperate cry for mercy, and you can hear the raw need in your own voice.
But Carlos is unmoved, his pace steady, unyielding as he pushes you further, dragging out your torment until youâre trembling with the effort of holding back. His eyes flick up to meet yours, and thereâs a fire in them, a hunger that takes your breath away.
âDo you want to come, querida?â He asks, his voice a low, seductive growl that sends a shiver down your spine.
âYes,â you gasp, your voice shaking with desperation. âPlease, Carlos ⌠I need to âŚâ
âThen beg for it,â he commands, his gaze locked on yours. âBeg me to let you come.â
The words send a thrill of anticipation through you, and you can feel your resolve crumbling, your pride slipping away in the face of your overwhelming need. âPlease, Carlos,â you whisper, your voice trembling. âPlease ⌠let me come. I canât ⌠I canât take it anymore âŚâ
Carlosâ lips curve into a satisfied smile, and he rewards your submission with a quick flick of his tongue that makes you cry out, your body arching off the bed. âGood girl,â he murmurs, his voice dripping with approval. âYouâve been so good for me ⌠I think youâve earned it.â
His words are your undoing, the permission youâve been craving, and as soon as they leave his lips, you feel the tension snap, the release crashing over you in a wave of pleasure so intense it leaves you gasping for breath. Your vision blurs, your body shaking with the force of your orgasm as Carlos continues to work you through it, his hands and mouth relentless as he draws out every last drop of pleasure.
Itâs too much, too overwhelming, and you find yourself sobbing with the intensity of it, tears streaming down your cheeks as you cling to him, your nails digging into his shoulders. But Carlos is there, grounding you, his touch soothing as he eases you back down, his lips trailing soft kisses along your skin.
When the last of the tremors finally subside, you collapse against the bed, utterly spent, your body trembling with aftershocks. Carlos lifts his head, his eyes dark and intense as he watches you, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.
âYou did so well, mi amor,â he murmurs, his voice soft with affection as he brushes a strand of hair from your face. âIâm so proud of you.â
You canât find the words to respond, your voice lost in the haze of pleasure and exhaustion that lingers in your body. But you donât need to say anything â Carlos can see it in your eyes, feel it in the way you relax into his touch.
He shifts, moving to lie beside you, and you immediately curl into him, seeking the warmth of his embrace. Carlos wraps an arm around you, pulling you close, and you bury your face in his chest, breathing in his familiar scent.
For a long moment, thereâs only silence, the two of you lying together in the aftermath of your shared pleasure. But even as your body begins to calm, your mind is racing, replaying the events of the night, the way Carlos took control, the way he commanded you.
Itâs a heady feeling, knowing that you belong to him, that he holds this power over you. But itâs also comforting, a reminder that youâre safe, protected, that Carlos will always be there to guide you, to take care of you.
âI love you,â you whisper, the words slipping out before you can think to stop them.
Carlos stiffens slightly, and you feel a pang of uncertainty, wondering if youâve said the wrong thing. But then heâs tilting your chin up, his eyes searching yours with an intensity that makes your heart skip a beat.
âI love you too,â he says, his voice rough with emotion. âMore than anything.â
The sincerity in his voice, the raw honesty of his words, takes your breath away, and you feel tears prick at the corners of your eyes. âCarlos âŚâ
He cuts you off with a kiss, his lips soft and tender against yours, and you can feel the depth of his feelings in that simple touch. It's a kiss that seals a promise, one that transcends words, binding the two of you together in a way thatâs eternal, unbreakable.
When he finally pulls back, thereâs a look in his eyes that speaks volumes â a silent vow that no matter what comes, youâll face it together. âForever,â he murmurs, his voice a gentle caress, and you know he means it in every sense.
You nod, a small smile playing on your lips as you rest your head against his chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat lulling you into a sense of peace. âForever,â you echo, feeling the word settle into your very soul.
In his arms, you feel complete, whole in a way you never imagined possible. And as the night wraps around you like a blanket, you let yourself drift, knowing that with Carlos by your side, eternity doesnât seem nearly long enough.

! đđđđ | your best friend wants to know what kissing feels like MDNI
warnings: heated make out, perverted thoughts, dry humping
Your best friend's lips were wet with spit and delightfully pink when he asked you if you've ever kissed before. You shake your head, confirming that you haven't, and if it weren't for the fact Yuji was your best friend you would have been embarrassed admitting that. But he was, so you weren't. You knew that he also had never kissed someone. Neither of you had ever dated anybody - always too involved in your own little bubble together. Attached at the hip.
"How come you're asking?" you question him, your eyes locking with his. He dodged the question, stuttering out nonsense as his cheeks turned the color of his hair.
"N-no reason," he blushed, and you nodded slowly - taking in how nervous your friend became.
It didn't take a whole lot of prying - it never did with Yuji. It wasn't unlike him to bring up something silly before trying to dismiss the fact he ever said it - like the time he asked your bra size. You looked up at him in shock, the skittle you were biting down on caught in your throat, causing you to choke. After recovering you gasped out, "Sorry. my what?" you asked him to clarify and his cheeks turned their signature rosy hue.
"I'm sorry... I don't know why I asked that," he stammered, pulling his his hoodie over his face and tightening the draw strings. It didn't take long for him to admit that he was just curious - and that he was sorry for how perverted it sounded. You patted his back, telling him it was just unexpected before giving him the answer to his question. You almost didn't notice how his lips formed an "o", silently picturing your response in his mind.
This day was just like any other for you two, honestly. "You've been thinking about kissing, Yuji?" you ask him nonchalantly. You found it always went down better if you acted like it was no big deal.
"I guess," he mumbled, trying to busy himself with the weather app on his phone.
"Did someone try to kiss you?" you kept prying, slowly but surely getting to the root of his question.
"No!" he all but shouted and your eyes narrowed.
"Then what's up?" again, your tone was nonchalant while he was anything but. He fidgeted under your gaze, knees bouncing with anxiety while he bit down on his bottom lip.
"I guess I was just wondering what it feels like... I don't know," he says dismissively, shaking his head before putting it in his hands; effectively avoiding your gaze. "I thought you would maybe know," he tells you, his words muffled by his large palms.
"Oh sorry, I don't," you tell him, going back on your phone in silence. When he hears a video play, he takes his head from his hands, looking up at you as you giggled at your screen, already deciding to forget about what he asked. Out of the corner of your eyes, you can see Yuji frowning at you - like he still has something he wants to say. You use your foot to poke his leg, leaning further back onto the end of your couch. "Spit it out Yuj," you tell him, not bothering to look up from your phone.
"Do you ever wonder what it feels like?" he asks you, his typical playful tone now painfully timid. Your eyebrows quirk, looking back up to him and noticing how nervous he looks.
"I guess sometimes," you say, biting your lip while you waited for him to continue.
"D-Did you maybe want to... I don't know...," he rambles, lifting his hand up to cover his face again. You patiently wait for him to recover himself. "You can say no," he begins, hands noticeably shaky. You sit up abruptly upon noticing his hands quiver - scooching over to be closer to him. He looks up, a little shocked seeing you so close to him and his throat bobs from swallowing harshly. "Do you maybe want to kiss me? Just to know what it feels like," he spits out, saying it so fast you could hardly catch his question but you do. Your lips part in surprise.
Was it a bit of an odd suggestion from your best friend? Sure, yeah. But was Yuji an odd guy? Absolutely. Your best friend was a fanatic for all things weird - you had known this your whole life. Hell, you sat right next to him while he watched his obscure, gory horror movies that made your stomach church. All though he assured you that you didn't have to watch them with him, Yuji was your best friend. Anything he was interested - anything that he wanted to do, you were down. So was it odd to kiss your best friend? Most would say yes. But Yuji and you weren't most people, that's why you two were so good together. You 'matched each other's freak', for lack of a better term.
Despite the fact neither of you had kissed anyone, the two of you got the hang of it fairly quickly. It started with a few pecks; you leaned even closer to your best friend, eyes watching as his lips twitched in anticipation. "Let me know if you want me to stop, Yuj," you told him before closing the gap between you two. His lips were soft against yours and smooth as butter. You planted a few light kisses, pulling away to check in with him. His face was flushed and you looked just a few inches down to see how strong his hand gripped the couch's arm behind him, causing his muscles to flex - showing off his toned forearm and bicep he earned from his years of hard work in the various sports he played. "Was that ok?" you inquire, ghosting over his lips. He nodded desperately, adjusting himself to fully face you before dragging you onto his lap and smashing his lips into yours.
You didn't have time to be taken aback, too distracted with abrupt change in pace as his lips smushed against yours. He groaned, snaking his hands around your back and pulling you flush against him, deepening the kiss. He could feel your squishy breasts push against his hard chest and his head began to spin. Your scent was permeating in his space, clogging his senses. He was entranced by the foreign feeling of another mouth on his, causing him to not think clearly. At least that's what he told himself as his lips moved against yours. He wasn't himself. That's why he was so desperate. That's why his tongue licked along the seam of your mouth, silently asking you to part your lips so he could slip it in.
That's why when you opened up for him he couldn't help bucking his hips up into you. He had to fight back an embarrassed whine from the realization he was humping his best friend - all because she let him explore her mouth. You sat on his lap patiently though, allowing Yuji to use your unsuspecting lips to know what it feels like to kiss.
His hands rose from your hips, sliding up to feel more of your body as he kept unknowingly thrusting himself up against you - too lost from the feeling of your tongue wrestling his. Even his tongue was stronger than you - you were unable to fight for control over your own mouth as his unskilled tongue explored yours. His hands stopped just below your breast, using his thumbs to subtly massage the underside of your tits. You were completely pliant under his grasp, allowing your friend to explore and hump you while you took what he gave you. It was completely new to you - what he was doing with his body to yours - but you'd be a liar if you told him you wanted him to stop. It was overwhelming and confusing but you would be the last person to put an end to what was happening. You both were young adults and embarrassingly inexperienced. Even though the awkwardness between you two for the rest of the day would be palpable; you two were too excited to finally get in on what every one else your age had already long since experienced. It didn't hurt you both found each other attractive...
The longer you found your tongue tangled up with his - the more handsy Yuji got. He wasn't only experiencing his first kiss - but many firsts. Like his first time touching a woman's breasts; feeling the weight of yours heavy in his hands as he kneaded and squished the supple skin. Since you two were just relaxing at home you didn't bother to wear a bra - something Yuji was grateful for as he reached under your shirt, his thumbs grazing your hardened nipples. He experienced making a woman moan for the first time - his attentive hands on your sensitive chest coupled with the feeling of his hard on barely confined under his loose sweatpants brushing against your center caused you to whimper - a sound Yuji could never forget even if he tried.
Your lips finally detached at the sound of your muffled moan - spit trailing from both of your mouths as you two pulled back. Both of you were out of breath, still holding onto one another while you struggled to fill your lungs up with air. "We should probably stop there," you suggested, all though the tone you used suggested otherwise.
"Yeah, probably," Yuji says unconvinced, his covered length beneath you twitches while you two only watch each other - eager to see what the other's next move might be. His hands are still on your chest - just beneath the underside of your breast and he fights to keep his hands from squeezing you one last time.
"Okay," you say, still perched in his lap.
"Okay," he responds, still holding your breasts.
You can only watch him as he watches you - both fighting against the realization that what was happening needed to come to an end. "How about just one more kiss?" he suggests and you nod, moving in to peck his lips; taking your time before pulling back to face him again.
"One more," you find yourself saying, again kissing him before pulling away. You both stare at each other - faces painted with pain trying to fight against what you both wanted but shouldn't be doing.
"We don't have to stop...." Yuji finally suggests, eyebrows scrunching nervously waiting for your response.
"Yeah... that works..." is all you say.
should i make a part 2? idk if i liked this....

Omg I love your benjicot Blackwood fics can you do a x betrothed reader soft fluff please
There wasnât many things in life that had brought you happiness, not since you became of an age where it was deemed necessary by your father to start looking for suitable suitors, for you were quick to catch on that life wasnât fair especially towards the good and honest people of the realm.
They often died too soon, leaving for the rest of the realm to be poisoned and left in ruin by the selfish agendas of the richer and more powerful great houses.
So when you were made aware of your fathers plans, not bothering to ask for your permission in the matter, your initial response was to scream at the old fool of the unfairness of it all but instead you chose to ran for the Weirwoods as though that was going to change anything.
That day whilst terrible as it was, was also the day that you met Benjicot Blackwood or Benji as you liked to call him nowadays.
âWhatâs wrong.â He had asked, kneeling in front of you with a worried look.
âIâm to be engaged.â You told the boy with the short dark hair and stormy kind eyes.
âDo you know to whom?â He said as he tried his best to figure out what he could do to help, he wasnât use to this whole comfort thing, but he was more then willing to try and to get use to comforting others for similar circumstances in the future.
You shrug, keeping your eyes downcast so that he wouldnât see your tear stained face. âIt is undecided for now but I know in my bones that itâll be to a gluttonous lord of some unknown house with shady origins.â
âWhy not get engaged to me then?â Benjicot then said out of the blue.
âWhat?â You looked up at him, unsure you had heard him right the first time.
âGet engaged to me and youâll never have to worry about being some shifty lords bed warmer.â Ben said in a nonchalant mannor, which was soon betrayed by the cherry red blossoming upon his cheeks. âWe donât have to be in love itâs just-â he was abruptly cut off when you flung yourself into his arms, hugging him tightly as you whispered a million thanks into his shoulder, all the while Benjicot was stiff and awkward as a board before he finally relaxed and rubbed your back.
âItâs fine, no need to thank me.â He utters as later that same afternoon the news of your betrothal to Lord Benjicot Blackwood had been finalised, bring about the end before it had even began, and needless to say for the first time you had felt a twinge of happiness for your future.
Now as you stood beneath the very same Weirwood tree you did that fateful day, you sat beneath it with a smile upon your face and peace within your heart. You didnât think youâd fall in love with Benjicot during your betrothal but you did and you did hard, the man was nothing short of perfect in every way shape and form, you didnât expect yourself to fall in love with his dark hair, his stormy but kind eyes nor his chapped but kissable lips that withheld the most heavenly laughter youâve ever heard.
He has made your heart full of happiness and joy that you didnât know existed in Westeros, he treated you with such kindness, respect and loyalty that you couldnât help but wonder if you were one of the lucky few to have such a devoted man such as Benjicot. You never wanted to know a reality where you werenât betrothed to him for every man would fail in comparison, regardless of whether they came from a greater house, for all you ever wanted was a man who was undyingly faithful and wouldnât dare let his eyes wander and you found that man in Benjicot Blackwood; and ever since then you have been falling for him every single second of every single day.
You had found your soulmate that day without even knowing it as you chuckled to yourself just as a body sat closely beside you, but instead of moving away from it you leaned into it, already familiar with the bodily warmth of your dearly beloved Benji as he pressed a sweet to to the top of your head.
âYouâre smiling today my beloved, is there reason to that or is it just me.â He joked as you playfully scoffed.
âIâm merely reminiscing the time we first met, right here beneath the Weirwood tree.â You told him as you craned your head to look up at the leaves that hung above you both.
âStill glad youâre not married off to some gluttonous lord from an unknown house with shady origins?â Benjicot asked as he too looked up at the ruby leaves of the Weirwood, not wanting to admit that after all this time you still managed to make him nervous but in the best ways possible. Your smile widened at your own words being thrown back at you as you looked over at Benjicot and admired his side profile with adoring eyes.
âI am because my betrothed is the sweetest man the realm has ever seen.â You told him as you kissed his cheek softly before resting your head on his shoulder. âYou saved me that day Benji and I am forever grateful.â
âWhat did I tell you way back then? Itâs nothing that you should thank me for.â Benjicot said as he looked at you with a soft expression. âIâm just glad that I could offer you an alternative solution.â
You looked at him as found yourself smiling as he rested his forehead against your own, closing his eyes as he relaxed again you. âYou also once told me that we didnât have to fall in love during our betrothal too.â You replied as you heard him chuckle lowly, brushing his nose over yours. âWe did a pretty shit job of that didnât we?â Benjicot asked as you giggled and the young lord swore he could hear the heavens sing, for he had fallen first but saw later on that you had fallen just as hard for him in return, which he thought was solely because he had gotten you out of a predicament you didnât want to be in.
You would later prove to him that that wasnât the case at all and that you feelings for him were genuine and true as your heart that beats solely for him.
âOne could assume so, yes.â You replied, kissing him on the forehead before letting your heads rest against one another once more. âBut I donât regret a single thing, word or moment that we have shared since for I love you far too much to depart from your side.â You added as you moved yourself as close to him as you could, wanting nothing more then to be in his arms and listen to the sounds of his strong heart against your ear.
Benjicot didnât put up a fight as he was quick to bring you into his strong embrace, holding you against his chest as he back remained supported by the trunk of the Weirwood tree, your head pressed to his heart as it sang its song just for you. âIâve loved you from the moment I saw you cry under this very Weirwood.â Benjicot admitted. âI looked at you and thought how beautiful you looked even when you were crying, which hurt my heart to witness. I want you happy and in that moment I wanted to be the reason you were happy and since then I have only fallen further each and every day, aching to one day call you what Iâve always wanted to call you.â
âAnd whatâs that.â You murmured against his chest, his warmth providing you too much comfort that you were on the periapsis of falling asleep.
âLady Blackwood.â Benjicot said as he pressed a kiss to your head, finding the same level of comfort you had as he too was fighting his hardest to keep his eyes open to gaze upon you longer, but alas his eyes were already closed and he smile widened as he thanked the gods for weaving your strand of fate with his own that fateful day under the Weirwood tree.

change in perspective.
you never thought jamie tartt could be anything but a prick.
a/n: i have no explanation for this other than i just finished ted lasso (fashionably late as always) and this man makes me giggle like a little school girl :) (this is also not spellchecked! i'll do it later ;))
pairing: jamie tart x f!assistant coach!reader
âDoes someone want to explain to me just what exactly Jamie Tartt is doing out on the field?â
All three coaches turn to you at the sound of your voice, but itâs Tedâs eyes that light up the second he registers your presence. A smile curls onto his lips as he turns to face you, posture nonchalant with his hands shoved into his pockets. âAh! Well, if it isnât my favourite assistant coach, Y/N! I was worried something had happened.â
Blinking back at Ted, you simply cross your arms over your chest. âWhat is Jamie doing out on the field?â
Ted lets out a laugh but it comes across more as a grimace as he rubs the back of his neck, turning his head to glance at Nate and then Beard.Â
Itâs Beard who explains.Â
âTed invited him back to the team.â
The water bottle youâd been holding in your hands promptly falls to the ground with a thud as your lips part, mouth left wide open, staring blank faced at Ted who continues to laugh somewhat uncomfortably.
âWhat?â
Beard raises his hands as if to gesture that he is an innocent party in your accusation all whilst you shift your shocked expression to a glare at Ted.
âWell, you know⌠IâI just thought that, well⌠heâs a good player, yeah?â
Shaking your head, you huff; âregrettably so.â Because even you werenât bitter enough to not admit that Jamie was a great football player. Fantastic really. ButâBut he was an absolute prick who youâd thought youâd never have to work with ever again.
âAnd this team needs a little something to spice us up, yeah?â Ted, in Ted style, does a little dance (thatâs meant to make you laugh) to add to the effect of his words.
âNo,â you say blankly, before Ted raises a brow at you. Sighing, your shoulders fall. âYeah.â
Offering you a smile, Ted rests his hand on your shoulder, giving it a light squeeze. âGive him a chance, okay?â He asks, his eyes pleading as he nods down at you. âI think he really means to make up for it all.â
You seriously doubt that. But, you donât voice that opinion.
âFine,â you surrender, dropping your hands to your side. âBut Iâm allowed to laugh at him when this team kicks his arse. Which they will because he deserved it.â
Ted snorts at that, âdonât worry, Nateâs already got you beat on that front.â
Your eyes shift to said man, and heâs sending you a wide grin and a thumbs up in a way that makes you chuckle despite how truly unhappy you were with Jamie only a few feet away from you, on your team.
-
The only thing that had made practice somewhat bearable was seeing Jamie repeatedly knocked on his ass.
And then mocked by the rest of the team.
Truly, it brought a smile to your face.
Youâre still laughing to yourself about it as you finish packing up your stuff in the office you shared with Nate. Him, Ted, Beard and pretty much most of the team were already gone or on their way out the door, but you usually elected to stay a little longer than everyone else trying to come up with new gaming strategies, plays and honestly, team bonding exercises since you found it incredibly important that the team genuinely care for one another if they were going to play on a team together.
Youâre just sliding your laptop into your bag when a knock pulls you from your musings.
âOh, Sam, just give meââ
Except, it isnât Sam when you finally glance up. Itâs Jamie.
Youâre leaping to your feet before you can stop yourself, a surge of panic running through your body as your wide eyes meet his. Heâs blinking back at you, as if as shocked by your reaction as you were, and before you know it youâre glancing around, half expecting Ted or Beard to be there because why else would Jamie be here?
But neither of them are there, of course, theyâd left twenty minutes ago.
âCoach Lasso and Beard have already left,â you explain before he can say anything. âYouâre gonna have to wait until tomorrow to talk toââ
Shaking his head, Jamie takes a step towards you. âI wasnâ lookinâ for them. I, uh⌠was lookinâ for you actually.â
You blink. Once, twice, before your brows furrow. âWhat?â
He steps towards you again, fully stepping into your office as he scratches at his face absentmindedly, looking just as uncomfortable as you felt. He glances around for a moment before his gaze focuses back on you, and the serious expression on his face is one youâre not used to or know how to react to so you continue to stare blankly at him.
âI wanted to, em, apologize, I guess? Actually, no, not I guess. I am sorry. And I want to apologize for how I treated ya in the past. You know, for all the shitty things I said and did.â
You must be dreaming.
Surely, youâre dreaming.
Thereâs no way that the Jamie Tartt, famed football star and resident asshole, is apologizing to you. Some random female assistant coach on a team heâd once laughed at for existing? Yeah. Not possible.
But⌠itâs either that or heâs taking the piss out of you.
Whatever it is, the shock fades in seconds and is quickly replaced by an indescribable amount of anger.Â
Because, honestly? Screw him. Screw him for thinking he could walk in here, say sorry and itâd all be okay. After all that he did.
âYouâre sorry?â You ask, pointing at him.
He nods, slowly.Â
âThatâs funny,â is what you end up saying, letting out a snort as he blinks at you in surprise. âYou sure didnât seem sorry all those times you laughed at me when I tried to coach you. What was it you used to say?â You quirk a brow at him as his face falls, the hopeful glint that youâd accept his apology fading from his eyes as you laugh at him. âOh, thatâs right! That I wasnât meant to be a coach because Iâm a woman and rather, I should just look pretty and help make you look good. And if it wasnât you belittling me for my job, it was you trying to get in my pants and then laughing about it as if thatâs some sort of joke.â
You finish your rant with a huff, shoulders rising and falling heavily as Jamie continues to stare back at you.
You hadnât really realized how much his comments had truly hurt until that moment. Or, rather, youâd pushed them down so far to the back of your mind that it had been bubbling up until this very moment where he tries to apologize offhandedly like that was going to somehow make things better.
âI may have only known you for a little bit before you left us for Manchester, Jamie,â you add, voice considerably calmer as you frown at him. âBut you sure left an impression. And one little apology is not gonna make up for the amount of times I went home crying and feeling worthless, because of you.â
Jamie doesnât say anything. His lips part like he means to you, but he ends up just gaping at you like a goldfish, looking rather stupid, before thereâs a light knock on the door and youâre pulled from your thoughts only to find Sam poking his head into the office. He looks concerned, eyeing Jamie out of the corner of his eye with a certain edge, before turning to you.
Biting your lip, you blink, hating the way your vision blurs and quickly you wipe at your face before any tears can fall.
You refused to cry in front of Jamie.
âJust a second, Sam,â you call, offering him a small, somewhat forced smile. You turn to your desk, grabbing your bag and doing a quick survey to make sure you hadnât forgotten anything before promptly pushing your way past Jamie and slipping past Sam. He sets a hand on your back to guide you forward, blocking you from Jamieâs view and you donât see it, but just before Sam turns to walk away himself, heâs sending Jamie a rather nasty glare.
The message is clear; leave her alone.
-
The next morning thereâs a vase of flowers sitting on your desk.
Nate is eyeing them when you walk in, before he blinks at the sight of you and quickly turns away as if afraid you caught him staring. You just blink at him, before looking at the flowers once more.
Poking your head out to the main office, you gesture over your shoulder; âwhereâd the flowers come from?â
Beard raises his hands in a silent gesture that theyâre not from him, before your gaze falls to Ted.
âDonât look at me,â he shrugs. âYouâd know if I got you flowers,â he winks with a light chuckle and rolling your eyes as you make your way to your desk. Thereâs a card in front of the vase and as you take a seat, you take the card, flipping it open.
All thatâs written on it is the name of the flowers; Lily of the Valley.
Frowning, you let your eyes wander across the white flowers, leaning forward to smell them and letting your eyes fall shut at the sweet scent.Â
Only thing is, who sent them?
Leaning back on your chair, you peek into the locker room, trying to see who of the players is there. Thereâs not too many. Thereâs Sam, but you walked in with him so you know itâs not him, also he most likely wouldâve just given them to you if he was going to get you a bouquet of flowers. Isaacâs there, but you doubt heâd give them to you. Richard and Dani are there, but they're much too forward to try and secretly give you flowers.
And then your eyes fall on Jamie. Heâs already looking at you, but heâs quick to glance away the second your eyes fall on him, his cheeks turning a bit red.
Your brows furrow.
It couldnâtâ
âApparently, Lily of the Valley symbolizes apology. Specifically when one doesnât know how to apologize.â Nate explains, reading off of his phone, the card from your desk in his other hand, before he glances at you with a curious smile. âI wonder who wanted to apologize to you?â
You glance at Nate, before the flowers, before peeking back at Jamie whoâs tying the laces of his boots, pointedly not glancing up.
Moving back towards your desk, you stare at the flowers a moment longer.
What the actual hell.
-
âOh, justââ
Before you can properly register the voice, a blur of blue is suddenly in front of you, opening the door youâd been about to open yourself before your hand can even reach for the handle.
Slowly your eyes flicker upwards to fall on Jamie as he stands beside you, holding the door wide open, a rather proud smile plastered onto his face.
âThere ya go,â he offers, head tilting towards the door. âLadies first.â
Quirking a brow, you nod at Jamie slowly, stepping through the door while you try to fight the smile that threatens to curl onto your lips.
âSmooth, Tartt,â you offer over your shoulder.
He grins back at you, nodding at you.
You canât help the laugh, however, when instead of stepping through the door like you expected (assuming heâd only done it cause he needed something from here in the first place), he lets the door shut with a goofy wave, leaving you alone in the room.
Pausing, you shake your head.
That was new.
-
âAnd you, Coach?â
It takes you half a second to realize Jamie is talking to you and you only really realize it because Ted, Beard and Nate are all looking at you, waiting.
Blinking, you swallow thickly, eyes falling back on the team only to see theyâre all staring at you as well, also waiting. Your eyes fall on Jamie and heâs smiling at you, happy and all teeth as he rocks on his feet, patiently waiting for you to say anything you might or might not have to say.
Itâs not like the rest of the team hadnât ever asked you for your opinion or if you had any pointers. And of course Ted made sure to consistently ask for your suggestions, wanting to make sure you felt your voice was heard and included.
As the only female coach for a maleâs football team, youâd managed to find yourself an incredible group of boys who listened to you despite your gender and actively made sure to try out anything you suggested.
But never had you ever had all their attention like you do in that moment. All of them just standing there, solely focused on you.
And that was because of Jamie.
Biting your lip, you shuffle on your feet. âOh, well⌠Iââ
But your voice is shaky and youâre not sure how to say what you want, but as your eyes flicker back over to Jamie heâs still grinning at you, smile never wavering and heâs sending you a thumbs up.
As if to say; you got this.
And then the words just seem to pour from your lips after that.
-
The addition of Roy Kent to the line up of coaches is both positive and negative.
And really, it isnât negative for anyone but yourself. Not that having Roy on the team was negative, just, well⌠It was already hard enough being the only women assistant coach with two other men, but now you were competing with three men and Roy was nothing if not an intimidating and commandeering addition to the team.
His desk had been squished in between yours and Nateâs and while the man was lovely, if not a little aggressive, by the end of his first day you found yourself drained and feeling like a fool. Roy wasnât just another man, but he was a previous football star himself; he had the on field experience to back up his suggestions and he knew what he was talking about so that when he did say something, no one really batted an eye to his suggestions.
Or, at least, questioned them.
Worst part was you liked Roy. Sure he swore a lot, and sometimes heâd grunt instead of replying to you but before heâd had to leave the team, heâd always listened to your suggestions with an open mind and never made you or the suggestions feel less just because it was a woman saying them. He was an absolute sweetheart underneath all of the gruff, and you knew him outside of work quite well as well because he was dating Keeley.
So, with the jealousy that you couldnât help but have, you also felt extremely guilty.Â
âAre⌠Are you alrighâ?â
Gasping, you sit up at the voice, panicked eyes glancing around until you settle on Jamie.
âJesus, Tartt,â you breathe, pressing a hand to your chest as you shake your head. âYou scared the shit out of me.â
âSorry,â he offers with a light laugh. âI didnâ mean to.â
âItâs fine,â you sigh, letting yourself relax once more as you slump against the wall behind you, pulling your knees closer to yourself. âI just thought I was alone. Didnât think anyone would come wandering in here.â
Jamie steps into the room at that, letting the door shut behind him as he nods. âSaw you come in âere,â he explains, taking a seat across from you. âWanted to make sure you were alrighââ
Shaking your head, you brush him off; âI'm fine.â
âYou, um⌠you sure?â
Turning to Jamie, heâs staring back at you in a way that tells you he doesnât believe you. Heâs got a concerned look in his eyes and heâs fidgeting with his fingers, his knee rocking nervously as he tries to find the words to say.
Sighing, you shake your head; âitâs stupid.â
âNot when it comes to ya.â
Blinking, you turn to Jamie, lips parted in surprise. Except, he doesnât seem shocked by what he said or embarrassed. He continues to stare back at you with that concerned look in his gaze, patiently waiting for you to explain whatâs going on.
âItâs just⌠Itâs hard,â you start, struggling to find the words. How do you explain to him, not only a man but the same man that used to belittle you for the exact same thing youâre feeling self conscious about, that you feel like youâre being tested in your own job everyday just because youâre a woman? You werenât sure heâd understand. And honestly, although youâve seen the changes in him and regrettably started to believe them, you werenât positive he wouldnât just laugh at you for it anyways.
And yet, you continue to speak.
âBeing what I am at my job,â you add, eyeing him carefully.
Jamie frowns. âBeing a woman?â
Inhaling sharply, you nod; âyeah. I know Ted and the rest of the guys would never belittle me or make me feel less because I am, but⌠Itâs just hard being the only woman coach for a team of men. Even if you guys donât mean to, and I know you donât, you all naturally gravitate towards Ted and the guys more than you do me.â
Lips parting, Jamie stares back at you.
Avoiding his gaze, you glance down at your lap. âMakes me doubt myself sometimes.â
âOh.â
Nodding, you pull at a thread on your pants. âYeah. Oh.â
Silence follows and you feel ten times more uncomfortable as the seconds pass. You can still feel Jamieâs gaze on you, watching, waiting, maybe trying to find something to say, and itâs making you feel more and more embarrassed as time goes.Â
Shaking your head, you suddenly move to a stand.
âAnyways, itâs late so you shouldââ
âI think yer an amazing coach.â
Lips left parted, you turn, only to find Jamie suddenly standing in front of you.
âYou make great strategy plays, you are undeniably smart about the terminology and nobody cares about the wellbeing of the team more than you,â he continues, his gaze never once faltering. âYou cheer us on and never ever make us feel like weâre doing something wrong or stupid for askinâ for help. I know it feels like we listen to the guys more, but every single one of us leans on your advice heavily and weâd be lost without yer support and guidance.â
Eyes widening, you donât realize it until you blink that youâre crying.
Your hand falls to your cheek, feeling wetness.
âShit,â Jamie curses and your eyes fall back on him. âI didnât mean to make ya cry, I justââ
Your arms wound around him before he can finish, pulling him flush against you as you press your head into the crook of his neck. Jamie freezes at the touch, body tensing but just for a second before he eases, his own arms coming around to wrap around you in return.
âThank you,â you whisper to him, âI⌠Thank you so much.â
âO-Of course,â he murmurs, voice low and you can feel his chest rumble against your cheek. âI just⌠thought ya should know.â
Biting your lip, you pull back at that, quickly wiping the tears off your cheeks as you step away from him. Jamie lets you go with ease, both of your cheeks red, yours burning when you realize youâd not only just flung yourself at him but youâd gotten his shirt wet with your tears.
âI.. Iâm sorry,â you whisper, gesturing to his chest. âI didnât mean to cry on you.â
Jamie shrugs; âno worries, love.â
Meeting his eyes, the two of you stare at each other for a moment, before youâre quickly stepping past him. âAnyways, I should⌠I should go.â
âOh. Oh, yeah. Me⌠Me too.â
Reaching for the door, you glance back at him; âIâll see you tomorrow?â
Nodding, Jamie grins down at you; âsee you tomorrow.â
-
âWeâve got a problem.â
Both Keeley and Rebecca turn to you at your words, whatever theyâd been saying promptly getting cut off the second they see the panic on your face.
Rushing you inside, they settle on either side of you on Rebeccaâs couch in her office, Keeleyâs arm wrapped around your waist and Rebecca offering you a cup of tea as they turn to you with concerned eyes.
âOkay, lay it out,â Rebecca says, âwhatâs wrong and who do I have to fire?â
Letting out a light laugh, you shake your head. âYou donât have to fire anyone.â
âGood,â she nods, âbecause I didnât want to fire anyone.â
Rolling your eyes teasingly, you take a sip of your tea before reaching forward to set it on the table.
âOkay, then, babes,â Keeley speaks up, frowning at you, âthen whatâs the matter? You came in here looking like something horribleâs happened.â
Letting out a groan, you press your hands to your face; âthatâs because something horrible has happened.â
âWhat?â Keeley presses, squeezing your arm.
Taking a deep breath, you hesitate a moment, eyeing the both of them, before you whisper in shame; âI think I fancy Jamie.â
Thereâs a beat of silence, before;
âLike Tartt?â Keeley asks, eyes widening in absolute surprise. âJamie Tartt? Our Jamie Tartt?â
âLike on my team Richmond, Jamie Tartt?â Rebecca adds, pointing at herself before gesturing to her office.
Cheeks burning, you hide your face in your hands again. âYes.â
Keeley and Rebecca eye each other for a moment, before Rebeccaâs pulling your hands away from your face.
âY/N.â
You just shake your head, trying to grab a pillow to further hide yourself.
âBabes, stop,â Keeley laughs lightly. âExplain to us why you fancy Jamie.â
âYeah,â Rebecca encourages. âItâs alright.â
Hands falling to your lap with a huff, you frown. âItâs all his fault,â you whine. âBecause heâs trying to be better now and I canât handle that. Before, you know, when he was a prick, thatâs just it! He was a prick. And Iâm sorry Keeley for saying this but I always found him a little attractive.â
Snorting, Keeley shakes his head; âbabes, why do you think I dated him?â
Biting your lip, you sigh. âBut he was awful, right?â She nods and Rebecca snorts, clearly feeling thatâs an understatement. âAnd when he came back, I was so mad. Mad because he was so mean and laughed at me and belittled me for being a woman, and not to mention he was terrible to the whole team. Like when he used to bully Nate or hog the ball and never give Sam a chance to show his skill.â
They both nod to your words.
âSo I was upset. Upset because he was back and because Ted didnât tell me or ask me how I felt. And I said to myself that this whole apology thing was just an act and heâd go right back to being his old self in a few days. I was proud of myself too because when he tried to apologize, I didnât let him.â Keeley squeezes your arm at that and Rebecca smiles proudly. âBut then the next day I came in and he bought my flowers!â
Their eyes widen.
âHe did?â
âYeah,â you nod at Keeley. âA big bouquet of Lily of the Valley and you know what Lily of the Valley symbolizes?â
Keeley shakes her head and Rebecca sighs, shoulders falling. âApology,â she explains for you. âYou give them to someone you hurt and donât know how to apologize to.â
Keeleyâs lips part in disbelief; âI never got fucking Lily of the Valleyâs.â
Sinking into the couch, you cry out; âexactly! And then he starts opening doors for me and helping me pack things up⌠heâs listening to me in practice when he never used to, deliberately asking for my opinion after practice after the rest of the coaches have said their pieces. He tells the rest of the team to shut up if he feels theyâre not listening to me and he asks me for pointers alone so he can get better. And! God! I was upset and he made this whole big speech about how amazing a coach I am and how the team appreciates me and shit and then I hugged him and cried on him and he didnât laugh at me or make me feel like shit. He⌠he was actually really fucking sweet.â
The second youâre done ranting, Keeley and Rebecca glance at each other, before coming to the same conclusion.
âWell,â Keeley says hesitantly. âIt definitely sounds like you fancy him.â
Pulling at your hair, you let out a cry.Â
âNo, no,â Rebecca shakes her hand, pulling your hands away from your face and holding them safely in her own. âItâs fine, love. Jamie has really turned himself around.â
âHe has,â Keeley is quick to agree. âI mean, he never did any of that stuff for me and we were already in a relationship.â
âBut it isnât fine,â you argue, shaking your head. âBecause heâs Jamie Tartt, and heâs fucking fit and now heâs nice too⌠and heâs a star football player and Iâm just Y/N Y/L/N, some random assistant female coach on a team of male football players. No one knows me and Iâm not special and Iâm not a model or a celebrity or any of the usual types he goes for.â
âThat is absolutely not true,â Rebecca says instantly, face appalled as if she canât believe youâve just said what you have.
âYou are Y/N fucking Y/L/N.â Keeley adds, moving to grip your cheeks tightly between her hands. âThe first and only female assistant coach of Richmond who has come up with more strategy plays that have helped us win than anyone else. Not to mention, you are proper fit. You are an absolutely fucking gorgeous and successful woman that Jamie would be incredibly lucky to have.â
Lips parting, you blink. Keeley and Rebecca are both looking at you in a way that leaves no room for arguments and feeling your eyes water, you pout; âyou mean that?â
âOf course I fucking mean that.â
âY/N,â Rebecca calls, squeezing your hands tightly. âI am so proud of you and the woman that you are and incredibly lucky to have you as a coach for my team. I know that, Keeley knows that, the team knows that and it looks like Jamie is aware of that more than anyone else. I know itâs hard to leave yourself vulnerable like this, but at least give him a shot.â
Biting your lip, you meet her eyes, finding the reassurance in them you needed before you glance over at Keeley who is grinning widely, nodding.
âOkay,â you whisper. âOkay.â
-
Youâd believed what Rebecca and Keeley said.
Of course you did because you know theyâd never lie to you.
And youâd promised them youâd give Jamie a chance before simply believing thereâs no way heâd like you. But promising and doing was a lot different, and itâs hard to find the chance to say anything to him over the next few days.
The whole team is anxious because of the game against Manchester City coming up, especially since the last time theyâd played them, it was the match that had gotten them regulated. Adding even more to that, Jamie had been on the Manchester team when that had happened and even though you know heâd made great strides towards making up with the team since coming back to Richmond, he was just anxious as the rest of them.
For a multitude of reasons you didnât understand.
So, there wasnât a chance to say anything.
And there certainly wasnât one now that theyâd lost. Youâd briefly wondered to yourself that if they won, maybe you could run to Jamie and just confess your feelings then, thick in the adrenaline of it all. Like they did in the movies. All sweet and romantic.
Only, Richmond hadnât won and you certainly werenât going to now.
Especially when you were just as disappointed as the rest of them.
Youâre speaking with Ted and Roy in the locker room when Jamieâs father comes in, and any conversation youâd been having falls silent the second he does.
You watch in stunned silence as Jamieâs father makes an embarrassment of himself, laughing and joking as he makes fun of the team's loss before zeroing in on Jamie himself. He says the cruelest things, and everything clicks in that moment why Jamie was the way that he was before heâd left Richmond.
And when Jamie punches his father straight across the face, you jump and your hands fall to your lips but youâre not shocked and you donât think Jamie is wrong either.
No one says anything and no one does anything as Beard dragâs Jamieâs father out of the locker room and Jamie stands there, still standing in a defensive position. You want to do something, you want to say something, but you donât think itâs your place. And you donât know if Jamie would even feel all that much comfort with having you do anything.
Roy steps past you in the next second, taking Jamie into his arms and he loses it then, his sobs echoing throughout the otherwise silent room.
Ted runs past you at one point, but you donât notice, eyes stuck on that of Jamie and Roy.
Then, Royâs pulling away, but Jamieâs still got tears in his eyes, pressing his hand to his eyes as he tries to hide away. Suddenly, Royâs eyes are on you, and heâs smiling in a knowing way, before promptly kicking everyone else out of the room. Your eyes widen as he does, body tensing in panic as Roy nods at you just before shutting the door behind him, leaving just you and Jamie in the room alone.
You can hear him sniffling to himself, a small sob breaking past his lips as you stand there, feeling out of place and like youâre stepping past his boundaries. So, slowly, you step towards him. âI can, uh, leave too if youâd like someââ
âNo,â is all Jamie says before heâs pulling you into a hug, arms wrapping around you tightly as he presses his face into the crook of your neck. You freeze at the action at first, unsure what to do or say, before slowly your body eases, and your arms are raising, hands falling to his back as you squeeze him tightly.
He clutches onto you, sobbing into your neck, and you let him wordlessly, rubbing his back in smooth, slow patterns in a way you hope is comforting.
And the two of you stay like that for a while.
-
Your relationship from then on changes.
More than it already had.
You find yourself willingly hanging out with him when you wouldâve avoided it otherwise before. Jamie always seems to be there, lending a helping hand or letting you talk his ear off about something or another.
The two of you never really spoke about what had happened in that locker room but you didnât need to. It went without saying. You understood Jamie in a way that you hadnât before, and although it didnât excuse it, it made sense why heâd been the way had been before and it showed him trying to be better meant a lot more than it had before.
So, the season ends, and you watch the changes Jamieâs doing with a smile and a completely different attitude. When he gives Dani the shot, or when he joins in on team chants before matches. Heâs still arrogant and cocky, but itâs in a more loveable way than it had been before, and now when he comes in every morning wearing his stupid ICON hat and dumb sunglasses, you can barely hide the smile that curls onto your lips.
Or the way that despite him wearing such stupid things, you think he looks ridiculously hot.
The season ends and then the new one starts up with one less coach after Nate had left only to join West Ham. It had certainly been a betrayal and youâd be lying if you said it hadnât hurt. Youâd always felt like Nate had understood you in a way maybe some of the others didnât and the two of you had shared that office alone for so long that you couldnât help the way youâd cried when youâd realized what heâd done.
Jamie holds you through it.Â
A soft, gentle and comforting presence that never makes you feel silly for feeling so hurt and betrayed and for that, youâre eternally grateful.
Suddenly, Jamie is someone you canât live without. You look forward to every morning you see him walk into the locker room, and you find yourself texting him at night, unable to stop the giddy feeling that floods you every time you hear your phone ding and see itâs him calling or texting you.
Keeley and Rebecca tease you all whilst constantly trying to get you to confess. You always say that you will, but you never do.
Youâre mad for him, that you know but you donât know if heâs mad for you and you donât want to ruin the relationship the two of you have built just because of your stupid feelings. It was nice having him as a friend, and although every time you saw him you just wanted to kiss him, you didnât want to lose that friendship either.
So you never say anything.
-
âSo, I would suggest justââ
âY/Nâ?â
Lips left parted at the sound of Sam, you turn to him as he pokes his head into the office. He freezes when he sees Jamie standing behind you, the two of you going over one of his plays, your hand left held with the whiteboard marker and he winces. âIâm so sorry. I did not mean to interrupt you two.â
Jamie is waving his hand in reassurance as you smile at Sam, letting your hand fall; âitâs fine, Sam. Whatâs up?â
âI just wanted to let you know that I wonât be able to drive you home tonight,â he explains, chancing a quick glance at Jamie before focusing back on you. âI have to run by the restaurant before heading home and Iâm not sure how long it will take.â
âOh,â you blink, shaking your head. âItâs fine, Sam. I can walk home tonight. Itâs no problem.â Then, cheekily, you canât help but add; âas long as when you finally do let me see your restaurant, everything is on the house.â
Laughing, Sam shakes his head; âit already was. And for you,â he points at you with a grin, âitâll always be.â
Smilingly, you nod, waving him goodbye as he does the same, slipping out of the office. You laugh quietly to yourself as he does, before turning to find Jamieâs eyes on you, and you blink; âsorry,â you offer bashfully. âWhere were weââ
âI didnât know Sam drove you home?â
Pausing, you shift back to face Jamie. âOh, yeah. He saw that I was walking home one night, offered me a drive and itâs been like that since.â
Jamie nods, slowly. âYou two are close.â
âUm, yeah?â You agree with a shrug. âSam is easy to talk to, I guess. Super friendly and kind.â
âHm,â Jamie hums lightly. âHe does look like heâd make a good boyfriend.â
It takes you half a second to register what Jamieâs said both because you feel thatâs a weird observation for Jamie to make and also because when in that conversation did you say he was your boyfriend?
âWeâre not dating,â you explain, shaking your head as you laugh. âWeâre just friends.â
Jamieâs eyes widen, cheeks warming in faint embarrassment but⌠is that a hint of relief you see? Probably not, youâre just psyching yourself out.
âOh.â
Nodding, you bite your lip; âyeah.â
âCool,â Jamie hums and you raise a brow at him, before turning back to the whiteboard.
âDid you wannaâŚ?â
Jamie is quick to agree, shifting on his feet to put his focus back on what you were saying before Sam had stepped in. But then, just as your lips part to continue, Jamie is interrupting you;
âI could drive you home.â
He says it so nonchalantly you think you imagine him saying it at first.
You glance at him over your shoulder, and he turns to you.
âIf youâd like.â
âUm,â and you hate the way your voice shakes or the nerves that rattle your entire being. âSure⌠Sure, thatâd⌠thatâd be great. If you donât mind?â
âNot at all,â he assures with a grin. âWhy would I mind having a pretty girl in me car?â
Cheeks burning you quickly glance back ahead of yourself to not let him see how much that simple comment made your heart flutter and your insides feel like jelly. Inhaling sharply, itâs hard to fight the smile from curling onto your lips as you move to continue saying what youâd been trying to say before.
Youâre so focused that you donât see Jamie watching you, a grin curling onto his own lips when he sees how flustered you are.
-
âPretty coach.â
Halting in your step, you glance up, only to have to crane your head upwards when you find Zava, the star player Rebecca had managed to score, staring down at you. Heâs tall, very tall, and youâre not exactly sure why heâs here, in the middle of the hall, or why heâs talking to you.
âZava,â you greet nervously, offering a small smile.
Heâs stepping towards you, effectively closing the distance between you as your eyes widen, freezing when he reaches forward to take your hand in his own. Before you know it, heâs pressing his lips against the top of your hand, a gentle, swift kiss as he glances at you through his lashes, smirking.
âI look forward to working under you as my coach,â he explains, accent thick as he pulls his lips away. It doesnât escape your notice that he doesnât let go of your hand, though.
âOh, um, meâme too. But youâll mainly be working under Coach Lasso since heâs the headâ...â
Your words trail when you realize heâs not really listening. Heâs just⌠staring. Directly at you.
Swallowing thickly, with your free hand, you touch your face; âis there something on myââ
âOh no, no,â he laughs gently, squeezing your hand. âYou just have the most beautiful eyes.â
Feeling yourself warm, you meet his eyes in surprise before glancing down at your feet, âoh, um, thankââ
âOi.â
The new voice is sharp and your head is spinning over your shoulder only to see Jamie promptly making his way over to you. Youâre surprised by how angry he looks, but his attention isnât focused on you and rather Zava as he quickly makes his way over, pulling your hand out of Zavaâs and gently pushing you behind him as he blocks you from sight from Zava. You flush when you realize Jamieâs still holding onto your hand, before slowly peeking over his shoulder.
âTartt,â Zava grins, âitâs wonderful to see you.â
âYeah, yeah,â Jamie huffs. âJust keep your hands to yourself, okay?â
Raising his hands in surrender, Zava laughs, stepping back as he moves to walk away. His eyes catch yours and he winks at you before turning to walk off.
âPrick.â Jamie hisses under his breath.
You pause at that, turning to him only to see his eyes set in a glare, watching Zava disappear down the hall before you let out a giggle. Jamieâs eyes fall on you the second you do, gaze softening when he sees you giggling.
âWhat?â
âNothing,â you smile, biting your lip as you glance up at him. âJust funny. You're calling him a prick.â
Jamieâs eyes widen in mock hurt; âhe is!â
âSure,â you shrug. âAnd so were you.â
âBut not anymore,â he teases, rolling his eyes at you.
âTrue,â you agree, shocking him by how easily you do. You just continue to smile at him, âdefinitely not anymore.â
Jamie stares down at you, eyes never leaving your face. âHeâs right about one thing, though.â
Quirking a brow, you tilt your head; âyeah? And whatâs that?â
âYou do have the most beautiful eyes.â
That was the last thing you expected.
Lips parting, youâre burning red as you promptly slap Jamie in the arm.
âOw!â He hisses, pulling away as his hand (regrettably) leaves yours. âWhat was that for?â
You just stare back at him, pouting, embarrassed, hoping he canât hear how fast your heart is beating.
Or notice that the way he said it meant way more than it did coming from Zava.
âPrick.â
Jamie just blinks, pouting; âwhat did I do?â
-
You let out a laugh as Jamie comes running up on the bus cheering about seeing Windmills, shaking your head with a grin as the rest of the guys cheer him on.
He walks down the aisle, high fiving a few of the guys until his eyes settle on you. Leaning your head against the seat, you grin cheekily up at him. âDid you have a fun night?â You ask with a head tilt, biting the inside of your cheek.
Smiling down at you, Jaime nods; âyeah, you?â
âPerfect,â you assure. âSpent a quiet night in my room.â
âThe boys didnât keep ya company?â He frowns, and he looks like heâs about to say something before you quickly reach forward, grabbing his wrist.
âThat was team bonding stuff, silly,â you roll your eyes. âBesides, I had the most relaxing bath. It was fine.â
He glances down at you, not saying anything, but you feel your chest tighten when you see the way his eyes glance across your entire figure at the word bath.
Ignoring the butterflies, you smile; âsaved you a seat, see?â You gesture to the empty window seat next to you, and Jamie laughs.
âYou want the window seat?â
âYup,â you grin, shuffling over to the other side as Jamie takes your old spot. You settle down next to him, arm brushing against his as he grins over at you.
âYou got lots of training done last night?â
Jamie nods, âyup. Taughâ Roy how to ride a bike.â
Brows furrowing, you briefly wonder how that happened in the midst of training but you let it go all the same, shrugging as you laugh. âBut you made sure to get some rest, yes?â You add, turning to him with a quirked brow. âBecause you remember what I said about training? If you push yourself too hard, youâre not goingââ
ââto help anyone,â he finishes for you with a chuckle. âYes, I remember.â
âGood,â you nod, squeezing his arm.Â
âAnd you?â
Blinking, you turn to him.
âDid you get some rest last night?â
You nod, touched by his concern. âYeah,â you assure, âlike I said, spent the night in my room, resting.â
âGood,â he repeats your words from earlier and you turn your head away to the window when you feel yourself smiling.
Yet, despite that, an hour later, youâve passed out on Jamieâs very own shoulder, softly snoring away.
Jamie is careful not to move, not wanting to wake you up, but when Dani turns to take a photo excitedly, he doesnât stop him.
âHey,â he whispers to Dani, âsend that to me, okay?â
-
âYou need to talk to Jamie.â
Raising a brow, you glance up at Roy.
â...I do?â
âHeâs a mess,â is all Roy says.
âOkayâŚ?â
âAnd you need to talk to him.â
Biting your lip, you hum; âbecause?â
Huffing, Roy rolls his eyes like youâre the one being annoying. âBecause youâre the only one heâll listen to, so you need to talk to him and get him out of whatever funk heâs in.â
âOkay,â you nod, âIâll talk to him.â
-
You donât get the chance to talk to him until youâve arrived at the hotel the night before the game and even then itâs not really you talking to him.
The movie youâd all watched together is over and Ted had set a curfew but Jamie is taking your hand in his, throwing his hood up and leading you out of the hotel without another word. You glance over your shoulder to see Roy glancing at you in confusion, but you just shrug your shoulders and then Keeley is sending you two thumbs up with a bright grin and before you know it, you both are out the hotel and making your way across the street.
You let him lead, expecting him to say something, but he never really does. Heâs eerily silent the entire walk, and it isn't until twenty minutes have passed that you finally tug on his grip and pull him to a stop. He glances back at you in surprise but youâre just shaking your head up at him, confused.
âIf this is your way of getting me alone to murder me, Iâm going to be really upset.â
He blinks at your words, confused at first, before he shakes his head. âNo, no⌠of course not. I⌠I want you to meet someone.â
âOh,â you mumble, feeling yourself ease as you meet his gaze. Heâs staring back at you, obviously waiting for you to agree and with a gentle smile, you nod.
âOkay.â
Itâs his mom.
He wanted you to meet his mom.Â
Youâre confused, extremely so, as Jamie leads you up the steps to a house, knocks and some older gentleman opens the door. He recognizes Jamie and invites the both of you in, and youâre left standing in the entrance way, baffled as you hug your coat closer to yourself, until a woman comes running down the stairs, screaming Jamieâs name and then suddenly sheâs in his arms and heâs spinning her and calling her âmommyâ and it all clicks.
You can't help the smile that curls onto your lips at the sight, feeling like youâre being allowed to see a side of Jamie others rarely were.
And when Jamie introduces you to his mom, the smile turns into shock when she says; âyouâre the one Jamieâs told me so much about!â And before you even have time to register those words or see Jamie glancing at you, sheâs wrapping you up in her arms and hugging you so tightly as she gushes about how much sheâs wanted to meet you.
You spend the night being welcomed by his mother and her boyfriend, before you leave Jamie to have his much needed conversation with his mom. Simon shows you around the house, before leaving you to glance around Jamieâs childhood bedroom yourself. You all but squeal at his Roy Kent poster, before rolling your eyes at Keeleyâs, but happily glance round the rest of the room. You look at all his trophies and childhood photos, little drawings heâd done or books heâd read.
Before you know it, Jamieâs poking his head into the room and calling for you.
âOh, Jamie,â you smile, âare you all done catching up with your mom?â
He nods, âyeah, you wanna get out of here? Go back to the hotel?â
âSure,â you agree with ease, stepping toward him. He sets his hand against your back, leading you back towards the door where you say your final goodbyes. You thank Simon for the tour and give Georgie a huge hug, expressing how happy you were to meet her before she makes you promise youâll come by and visit again.
Youâre not quite sure how to reply to that, but itâs okay because Jamie does it for you, promising the two of you will stop by for an actual dinner soon.
And then, itâs just the two of you, making your way back to the hotel.
âSo,â you call out, glancing at him from the corner of your eye. âYou told your mum about me?â
Jamie rolls his eyes at that, huffing. âOf course I did. Why wouldnât I?â
That certainly isnât the response you were expecting, so, with warm cheeks, you glance at your feet.
âGot it all sorted now?â
Jamie hums, âyup. Sorry if I worried ya.â
You shake your head. âThink you had Roy in more of a panic, if Iâm being honest. Poor man couldnât breathe, he was so worried.â
Jamie snorts at that, lightly nudging you with his arm. âSo, ya werenâ worried at all?â
Turning your head, your smile fades as you meet his gaze. âNo, I was. I just didnât want to overstep.â
âYou could never overstep,â Jamie assures, âI shouldâve been open about how I was feelinâ. Just needed to sort it out for meself.â
Smiling softly to yourself, you hug your hands behind your back. âWell, Iâm glad you figured it all out, Jamie. Really. Now you can kick some serious ass tomorrow, yeah?â Youâre smiling as you say it, nudging him back with your own arm as the two of you continue to walk.
Then, suddenly, Jamie stops.
Frowning, you glance back at him; âare youâ?â
âMe mum helped me with somethinâ else.â
âOh,â you mumble, not sure where he was going with this. âWhatâs that?â
âSaid I should stop being such a pussy and tell you how I really feel.â
Lips parting, you freeze. âOh.â
Jamie nods, slow, and you can tell heâs nervous by the way heâs shuffling on his feet. âSo⌠here goes.â
Your eyes widen when he steps forward, closing the distance between the two of you until heâs right in front of you, inches away. Your eyes follow him, head tilted back as you stare up at him, unsure what to do or say. But you donât need to, because Jamie is speaking up in the next second.
âIâm in love with ya,â he confesses, letting the words just slip past his lips. âIâve been in love with ya since you hugged me after me dad in Wembley. Maybe before that, I dunno. All I know is that when I came back to Richmond, all I was focused on was makinâ everyone like me again and then you yelled at me that day in yer office and I realized it was more than that. It wasnât just about makinâ people like me, but makinâ up for the cruel things I'd done. Iâm so sorry for the way I treated ya before, but I want you to know that I think the absolute world of ya. You are kind and sweet and smart and proper fit and⌠I dunno, you might not feel the same but I donât wanna go on another day not having you know how crazy I am for ya.â
His words settle, carry on in the silence, as you stare back up at him, lips left parted, disbelief coursing through your veins.
Jamieâs confidence wavers as the silence carries and heâs shuffling on his feet in worry as he swallows thickly. âYou donât have to say anythinâ,â he assures, rambling now with nerves. âI just wanted ya to know, soââ
But you cut him off by pressing your lips firmly against his own.
Jamie stumbles back from the pure force of the kiss at first, before he catches his balance and the shock fades and his hands are falling on your waist as he squeezes, returning the kiss with just as much passion. Maybe more. He kisses you like heâs been waiting to do this for weeks, and you realize, he maybe has. He holds you like you're the only thing in that moment that matters and you let yourself sink into his touch, turning to putty in his hands as you thread your fingers through his hair.
Then, slowly, you pull away, breathless as he smiles down at you.
âI love you too,â you whisper, âsince the day you left me those flowers.â
Jamieâs eyes widen and his lips part but you donât have the care to be embarrassed by your confession; it just felt good to finally, finally be able to say the words out loud.
âAnd I am so excited to see you kick ass tomorrow.â You breathe out, pressing your hands to his cheeks as you smile up at him, eyes dazed and sparkling with delight.Â
Pressing his forehead against yours, Jamie presses a gentle kiss to your lips.
âAnd I canât wait to see you kick ass tomorrow.â

Until I found you
The reader's nickname is princess. There are slightly spicy scenes so mdni. Fuck boy Eddie who quickly turns into simp for you Eddie, fluff and a bit of angst. 18+
â¤ď¸
The First time that Eddie met you was when he was running from a very irate ex fling. He had literally just ended things and she had taken it badly; even though he told Cassia that he wasn't a relationship guy, she still thought that she could change him.
So intent on getting away from the crying and yelling he fell arse over tit and landed in a heap at your feet.
Normally Eddie would put on the charm right about now but his mind had gone blank at your pretty smile and the amusement in your eyes.
"Uh hey, you wouldn't mind hiding me from my very angry ex would you?" you snort at his request and proceed to help him up.
Now he would like to say that he charmed the pants off you that night but he didn't. In fact it was weeks before that would happen.
Eddie didn't do love. He was too cynical for that shit and he had seen enough break ups and fighting from his own parents and couples around him in his early years that it stuck with him.
Truthfully when he was younger there was still an idealised part of him that dreamed of finding someone who would love him but after various disappointments it was easy to close off that part of him.
He was thirty nine and had yet to have a serious relationship, preferred to indulge in flings with like minded people; there were still a few women who liked to think they could change his mind despite his warnings but they were unsuccessful.
Some people liked nothing better than a challenge and Eddie was a challenge, but he was also stubborn and refused to change his mind about things.
Even when he met you he was still determined that you would be like the others, that this would be a short fling and then be over within weeks... well if you ever agreed to go on a date with himm
However you seemed to have other ideas...
When you finally did agree to a date, Eddie made sure you knew the rules. No way was he having another angry woman chasing after him. You seemed pretty nonchalant about the whole thing until towards the end when you surprised him by gently taking his hand.
"Doesn't it get lonely?" you ask him curious and a little sad. He swallows and shakes his head. "No" he murmurs but that isn't quite the truth, he does get lonely but chases it away with flings, weed and D&D.
You didn't look like you believed him but you dropped it and gave him a little smirk. "So what's this amazing date you're taking me on Munson?"
â¤ď¸
Weeks pass and Eddie doesn't seem to realise that this has lasted longer than his usual flings, the two of you are having fun so he doesn't see why you would have to stop now.
Eddie groans as he thrusts into you, he can never get over how incredible it feels being inside of you and quickens the pace, loves the way you moan his name and clench around him.
A powerful, intense orgasm rocks the both of you and Eddie moans into your neck, softly kissing over it and your breasts. You're still shaking from the intensity of the orgasm, eyes closed and a blissful smile on your face.
"Hey beautiful" he caresses your cheek for a second, you cuddle back in his arms and look so content and happy, warmness spreads over his chest as he watches you. Fuck.
This was bad, this was very bad. What the fuck was going on with him? He was moving into dangerous territory here, things he avoided like the plague.
While you were nodding off he quickly dressed and tried to ignore his racing thoughts. So he liked spending time with you? So what! that didn't mean anything.
The content feelings that had been popping up out of nowhere meant nothing either, the warm feeling when he looked at you? Maybe he was getting sick or the AC was too high. That must be it..
This was fine. Maybe if he kept telling himself this then he would believe it? He feels a tug on his hand as he's trying to find his shirt and you're wide awake and gazing at him with big puppy eyes.
"Stay" you murmur sleepily and pout, it's so adorable that Eddie can't help but join you back in the bed.
This was fine. It was just one night it didn't mean anything. Nothing at all.
...
Steve is the first person to notice what's happening, he presses a beer into Eddie's hands before everyone arrives for the campaign and the two settle to chat.
"So you and princess? It's lasting a while huh?" Steve waggles his eyebrows at Eddie who almost chokes on the beer he's drinking, annoyed at Steve's teasing tone he shrugs and answers.
"I could end things whenever I want Steve" Eddie waves off Steve's comment, he really doesn't want to mention to Steve how sick he feels at the thought of never seeing you again.
"Yeah, you could but you don't want to Munson and you need to admit that to yourself" Steve says wisely and is saved from answering as some of Hellfire arrive.
No he doesn't.
Steve doesn't stop there and pins Eddie with his gaze. "Dude she's a catch and if you lose her because you're so stubborn, you know she will get snapped up like that" he snaps his fingers and Eddie feels like he's been punched in the gut.
Steve is right. He knows he's right and Eddie knows he's right and those thoughts stay with him.
He tries to lose himself in the campaign, and it works for a while, he's completely in DM mode and smiling at his enraptured audience. Dustin and mini Dustin are hanging on his every word as he finishes this part of the campaign on a cliffhanger.
"Dude, seriously!" Mike whines and Eddie smirks and pats Mike on the shoulder, "Wheeler good things come to those who wait. Now scram!" he orders him.
He's already annoyed that he was so distracted at times during the campaign in the first place, it wasn't often but it was enough to unnerve him. Since when did he get distracted while he was in the zone?
It was you that was distracting him and Steve stupid musings but speaking of you distracting him...
You walk into Steve's house smiling shyly at Steve and your eyes light up the minute that you find Eddie. His heart annoyingly speeds up which makes him grumble under his breath.
The minute you're in his arms his grumbling ceases and he smiles. "Hey whatcha doing here princess?" he's aware of the others watching him and gawking, he throws them a dark look and they scatter off in different directions.
"I thought I'd surprise you, is that alright?" you ask nervously and he's quick to assure you it's fine. The two of you liked hanging out together so he didn't see the problem and he never wanted you to feel nervous asking him these things.
"Sure princess, you want me to teach you how to play? I have a mini set back home" he doesn't expect you'll say yes but you surprise him by nodding happily.
"I'd like that Eddie"
â¤ď¸
Eddie smiles as you fall asleep cuddled into his chest, the two of you have barely left the bed since he picked you up from work and you're finally tuckered out.
Usually right about now he would slip out while you slept. Except he finds out that he doesn't want to, he wants to stay and the thought doesn't make him want to run for the hills.
You mumble in your sleep then whimper as your hand traces the empty sheets, he moves closer to you and instinctively you seek him out and sigh content when you're cuddled up on his chest.
It's cute as fuck and he melts. Melts, he can't cope with how sweet that was and he feels that warmness flood over him again as he strokes your hair.
The realisation hits him then. He could happily do this for the rest of his life.
Well shit. That was new and terrifying and he needs to leave now and not look back.
For a second it feels like he can't breath and he's gently moving you to your side of the bed and is halfway through scrambling for his boxers when it hits him that he doesn't want to leave.
His breathing calms and the racing beat of his heart slows down to a normal rhythm.
Once again the thought of not seeing you again makes him feel like his chest had caved in and he slumps back on the bed and immediately gathers you back in his arms.
With a gentle kiss to your hair and the feeling of your body flush against his, he begins to relax and he admits to himself that the feeling of you in his arms is something he will never tire of.
He wants to do this for the rest of his life.

loser of the year | peter maximoff
SUMMARY: peter thinks you hate him because you avoid him at all costs but he soon figures out why. WORD COUNT: 1243 WARNINGS: none! brief mention of she/her A/N: i couldn't think of a name so spotify did me a solid and played my fave simple plan song and i rolled with it.
Peter couldnât understand it. Days, heck, weeks had been spent with him trying to figure out what heâd done wrong for you to constantly avoid him but he was coming up blank. Nada. So, if he hadnât done anything then what was the reason? Why did you always avoid him in the hallways? Why would you always make an excuse to leave whenever he came over when you were talking to Scott or Jean? It absolutely baffled him. Drove him insane actually. Once Peter got something in his little speedster head, he tended to obsess over it. He also didnât like when he couldnât figure something out. And, you were the biggest puzzle of all.
It happened again one day when you were sitting in the common room of the mansion. Lazily, you were laying across the couch, legs dangling over the arm while your head rested on the other side. Scott was sitting in the chair next to you, the two of you chatting about Loganâs latest lecture. Peter had been speeding through the hallways causing his trouble like always when he came to halt hearing your voice.
He jumped into the free chair on the other side of the couch, blowing a bubble with the gum in his mouth. âWhatâre we talking about?â
âI have to go,â you mumbled as you got to your feet. âSee you later, Scott.â
Once you left, Peter scoffed, arms crossing over his chest like a spoiled child. âWhatâs her problem?â
âWhat do you mean?â Scott asked.
âShe hates me, dude. I donât even know what Iâve done,â Peter threw his hands up in the air, his frustration more than evident.
âShe doesnât hate you.â
âPfft, yeah right. Thatâs why she always leaves whenever I show up. Whatever, doesnât matter. Itâs fine. Completely fine. I donât want to talk to her anyway.â
It wasnât like you wanted to avoid Peter â you really didnât but you didnât know what else to do. Usually, you were this confident person who could strike up a conversation with anyone. The easiest thing in the world for you was to make friends but when it came to Peter that all flew out of the window. He made you nervous. One look at him and you were flustered. It was like you lost your tongue, you couldnât speak a word to him or even look at him unless you wanted to look like a human tomato. It was a problem â a huge problem.
Of course, youâd had crushes before. Many times but this was different. Never had you been so flustered by someone that you couldnât stand to be around them. This was all new for you. Sure, Peter was attractive. He was probably one of the most attractive guys youâd ever laid your eyes on but what really drew you to him was his personality. He was so fun, carefree. Everything seemed like it was one big adventure with him. Not that youâd really had a full conversation with him but youâd seen how he acted during training. Scott had told you many stories about Peter. It really seemed like everyone loved him. Sure, maybe he came across a little annoying at times but you found that endearing.
Lost in thought, you were walking through the hallway, a book in hand. It wasnât until you were hit by a brick wall - or what felt like a brick wall at least anyway - and knocked to the floor when you came back to reality. Your eyes instantly bore into Peterâs who had managed to knock the two of you down to the floor, his body laying on top of yours. His hands braced either side of your head so he didnât completely crush you.
âOop, my bad.â
Your cheeks instantly turned red at his nonchalance. How could he be so collected when his body was literally pinning yours to the floor?Â
âWasnât paying attention,â he added.
Okay, so, he knew he should get off you. He knew he should get up and let you go on your way but this was the first time heâd got to speak to you without you instantly rushing off. What was a few more minutes pressed together on the floor? He looked at your face, your eyes avoiding his now, the faint tint of pink on your cheeks. âYou good?â
âYeah,â you squeaked out. Suddenly, you forgot how to breathe.
âWhatâs your issue?â Peter blurted out.
âWhat?â
âWith me? Whyâd you act like Iâm the walking plague and avoid me at all costs? If I said somethinâ to ya at some point then Iâm sorry but Iâve been wracking my brain and I donât think I have.â
âIâŚâ The words got lost on your tongue. âSeriously, get it together, brain,â you thought. âYou didnât.â
Peter scrunched his face. âThen what is it? Whatâd I do to you?â
With his face so close to yours, his body pressing into you so you could feel every part of him, it was like someone had removed your brain from your head. There wasnât a single coherent thought in there. âNothing.â
His eyes narrowed as he noticed you avoiding his gaze at all costs. Then, it hit him. The way you couldnât look at him, the blush on your cheeks. You liked him. A smirk graced that stupidly handsome face of his as he finally got off you, holding his hand out to help you up. Of course, you took it. His hand felt warm in yours, a little sweaty but you figured that was just because he had spent five minutes in that compromising position with you.
âYou like me,â he pointed accusingly at you. His tone was smug. So damn smug.
âWh-what? No!â A bold face lie.
âThatâs why you avoid me. You got yourself a little crush on olâ Quickie. I mean, who can blame you?â His grin lit up his whole face.
Now you really were flustered. Credit had to be given â heâd figured you out within five minutes of being around you and that was exactly why you had wanted to avoid being anywhere near him. This was going down as one of the most embarrassing moments of your life. Your hands went to cover your face that was now burning hot.Â
Peter shoved his hands in jacket pockets, bouncing on the balls of his feet. âSâcool, babe. Think youâre pretty cute too.â
That made you peer at him through your fingers. âReally?â
âYeah when youâre not avoiding me anyway.â
âSorry.â
He waved his hand at you to dismiss your apology. âAll good. Iâma need you to stop running away everytime you see me, though.â
You nodded, bringing your hands away from your face. Suppose that was something you could do now youâd broke the ice. Or, well, Peter had broken the ice. Youâd done nothing but say five words and break the world record for blushing. âOkay, yeah but⌠uh, I do have to go. Um⌠need to return this book.â
He stepped out of your way, letting you pass. As you walked away, he called after you with that shit-eating grin still on his face. âSee ya, cutie. Might ask you on a date next time I see you if it doesnât make you spontaneously combust.â
Peter snickered to himself, feeling pretty confident with himself as he walked away. Meanwhile you were sure you were about to melt into a puddle on the floor.

Hello everyone! It has been a while, but don't worry, my research has never stopped. So ofc I am back with:
Astrology Observations- Pt.4
I want to start by asking: Who gave Sagittarius Venus the reputation of being nonchalant when it comes to the one they love?? This rumor must have started from a Sagittarius Venus, 'cause most like to pretend that they don't care, that they are not affected by anything, but LORD how good at pretending they can be. Keep in mind, I am not throwing any shade, though you show your feelings the least out of all the fire signs. But after all, I have also noticed Sagittarius Venus likes to observe, take notes, and learn about the one they truly love. They will observe and adapt to the one they truly want. Of course, that only applies if you're interesting enough for them and always give them something to think of, something new to understand and feel.
Libra/ Cancer/Pisces/ Taurus Moons tend to have this weird habit of romanticizing their past relationships. This also applies to 8H and 4H moons/ stelliums.
CANCER VENUS MEN DO NOT GET OVER THEIR EX EVER. I mean, in general, Cancer Venus individuals prefer to try again for the 14th time with an ex than to give someone new a chance. But I have noticed that in particular, these men have this ultimate fantasy of having their ex reach out to them, IF they're not the one reaching out, of course.
11H stelliums will almost always be those people who are known by everyone for some reason. They could literally do nothing and somehow have people in their business. They also have the biggest chance of becoming well known on the internet.
Cancer placements women like to nurture, Cancer placements men like to be nurtured. No one wants to cry in a woman's arms more than a Cancer sun/moon/mercury/venus/mars man. They like to be big babies.
I know everyone likes to sleep, but no one seems to be prioritizing their sleep as much as Taurus placements do. Especially Taurus Venus. BUT, when it comes to sleeping their problems away, definitely Pisces placements stand out, especially Pisces Mars.
It is 3AM, so I might as well get some sleep. Hope you like and relate to my discoveries <3

DOGTOOTH
She could ride my face, I don't want nothin' in return Except for some her time and all her love, that's my concern
WARNING! Explicit RPF!Â
EDIT! Pt.2 here, but can also be read as stand alone.
Summary: Basically Dogtooth by Tyler the Creator. It is my belief Joost is a munch and I am so sad more people donât write about it so I was forced to intervene.
Word count: 5.2k
CW: 18+, f! reader, no body descriptions, established relationship, alcohol consumption, cursing, ???, English is not my first language and only proof read by me.
It was a game really, from the moment you get out of the shower wet feet smacking lightly against the floor of your shared flat, you can feel his gaze trained on you. You of course, well acquainted with this test of wills decide to ignore it and walk straight towards the dresser, the towel wrapped around your torso barely covering below your ass and you make a show of stepping on your tip toes to reach for something at the top, more to give him a show than anything else, you are rewarded as you hear a delighted exhale behind you. You and Joost had already gotten used to the push and pull thrill to see who would crack first, who would end up a desperate whimpering mess, begging for it by the end of the night, it was all part of the foreplay. You smile to yourself as you continue getting ready, behind you he sits on the bed watching like a big cat ready to pounce at any second, doing nothing to hide his staring as he plays absentmindedly with his phone changing songs as your personal DJ.
The night outside is warm, barely starting, you really have all the time in the world to get ready and he is not one to rush you. Truth be told he enjoys the ritual of seeing you apply on your make up and try on different outfits until you are satisfied, he finds it endlessly amusing to just stare at you to a point you could call it an obsession. Today your choice is a shiny top and a short skirt, obscenely short perhaps, but just what you like and he is grateful for every inch of skin his eyes can trace on you. As you drop the towel to get dressed you give him a good eyeful of the delicate curves of your body, you can feel the tension in the room rise instantly and playfully wonder if you will even make it outside today. You have been together long enough to were seeing each other naked is common occurrence but it never gets less exhilarating, he has an honest and open face, when you catch his gaze in the mirror you are met with his dilated pupils and his full attention on you like it is natural it makes heat rise to your cheeks and you avert his eyes trying to compose yourself. You walk up to him nonchalant and wordlessly he understands you, pulls the zipper of your skirt up.
âThanksâ you say in a whisper he doesnât answer but instead pulls your hand towards him delicately and kisses right on the pulse of your wrist, then looks up at you smiling.
âReady?â
Tonight you had been invited to a club opening, private area reserved, a few friends invited and free booze, just for your presence, well Joostâs really, but you enjoyed every bit of it as if it was yours. He made sure you knew that, what was his his was yours. He didnât say it as much but he liked taking care of you in every way he could. Though he didnât really need to explain himself, his absences hurt you deeply and you missed him in ways that felt too vulnerable to express fully, you felt like a kid waiting with your face pressed against the window just for him to come back to you every time, it never got easier but he made sure to make it up to you when he got back. When he was by your side he pampered you almost to a point of asphyxiation but your thrived on it glowing more beautiful under very one of his attentions, a side of him only you knew, it gave you a strange high to have him like that only for you, only ever you.
As you make your way to the club your mind canât help but wonder off to the first time he took you back to his place, after a night of meeting at a different club where he truly didn't wanna be at he quickly became enchanted by your presence, your easy laughs and entrancing conversations. He didnât have any bad intentions or any intentions at all really, drunk on the beauty of your face, on the softness of your voice, the smell of your perfume, he had only wanted to drag the night on as much as you would allow him. He had just wanted to have you to himself for a little bit, wondering if you would disappear like an illusion in the morning. Yet you had bloomed more stunning in the middle of his living room as he kept trying to steal laughs from you, absolutely enamored with the sound of your laughter. You had kissed him first, you deny it to this day and say you donât remember since you were drunk but he knows it and you know it too. Deep in the night as you sat on his lap, on his bed, chests pressed together and hearts beating wildly nothing but heavy air between both of you he gently spoke against your lips words that at the time made you incredibly irritated but now you look back on fondly âI wonât fuck you when you are drunk.â Fuck! What a man! Even painfully hard under you as he was, it made you laugh in disbelief throwing your head back holding onto his shoulders as you felt him kiss sweetly against the expanses of your neck. Such reservations are long gone from your relationship but still you remember how sweet he had made you feel. He had let you hump him to your climax, so well behaved under you, let you use him as you pleased, a moaning mess on top of him, anyone else really would have taken advantage but not him, never him, not to you. It gave you a rush like no other to have a man like that under your thumb, knowing he could but he wouldnât, already too sweet for you. âYou are so strangeâ You had said between giggles as he laid you to rest on his bed, he just smiled and kissed your forehead. That should have given you a clue to his nature.
You giggle to yourself and he looks down on you amused.
âWhat?â He asks pulling you closer as you walk through the door, the noise of the music already filling you with energy.
âNothingâ you reply smiling up at him and pulling him closer into a quick kiss.
The club is filled with people, he commands attention when he walks in even if he doesnât want to, it is the nature of the job he would say, but with you by his side he feels more at ease. The music is good, probably not entirely Joostâs taste but it is yours, so he doesnât complain at all. You quickly make your way up to the private section and share greetings with everybody already there. You know his friends now, like to think they are yours too and they have always welcomed you so warmly. They never miss a chance tell you how happy you make Joost, you hope it is true. Soon both of you get lost on conversation and jokes with everyone around. He lets you do your thing, just happy to see you enjoy yourself, dancing wildly and downing on sweet liquor like it is water, without a care in the world you look the most beautiful but he honestly has no eyes for anyone else. He likes this more than anything, just seeing you happy it could give him the energy for 100 tours for 1000 performances if he only remembers your smiling face then it is all worth it, if you are at the end of the line then anything is worth it. He drinks as much as you but you are not nearly as good as he is at holding your liquor. He notices your half lidded eyes and unfocused pupils and starts feeding you water.
âJoost~â you want to complain in a sing song tone but he just kisses your hairline and pulls you closer.
âJust slow down, liefdeâ Taking care of you comes so easy so naturally, he doesnât even make an effort it is just in his blood it seems.
You continue to dance against him and he moves behind you happy to have you in his arms inhaling your soft scent. He is already 10 steps ahead thinking about when he would get to take you home, to have you on his bed, to undress you and⌠any more imagining would be troublesome so he just downs his drink and keeps dancing to your rhythm.
The hours pass by quickly when you have fun you feel the boom of the bass deep in your body, the music guides you and you follow shamelessly grinding your ass against Joostâs crotch, his big hands holding tight at your hips letting you move as you please but keeping you close to his chest like his life depends on it. You can feel his warm breath on your neck, deep and slow, he seems so calm, if only you could see inside his brain the thoughts of you already glowing on his unmade bed, bouncing on his lap, his mouth on your heat, your image all over his brain. The warmth of his body is comforting against your back, like this it feels like you are only one person, even in the sea of people with the music loud it is just the two of you in this world. You crane your neck to the side to catch a glimpse of him, he looks beautiful, hair slightly tussled sweaty against his forehead, his face impossibly handsome illuminated by the sparse light, he catches your eye and a smile blooms from his lips all the way to his eyes, you feel your chest constrict he is all yours it feels too much and not nearly enough at all.
âJoostâ the single word escapes your lips breathy and worked up already, his eyes darken, he knows you too well, you can feel his heart instantly start to race on the back of your ribcage, yours joins too, a beautiful chaotic symphony.
âWanna go home?â You can only weakly nod as he takes your hand and pulls you towards the back door, barely bothering to say goodbye to everyone else.
As you wait for the car outside he keeps you tucked under his arm, without needing words he knows you are cold. The clothes look gorgeous on you as always but not good for this time of the night, however that is what he is here for. He caresses your arms up and down to warm you up, the car pulls up and he lets you in, closes the door behind then climbs inside from the other side. The drive is painfully slow, you want him now, you just need him on you, to feel the weight of his body, the rhythm of his thrusts, to breath on his air, nothing but him. You are drunk on Joost, you reach over and place a hand on his thigh feeling the muscle beneath it, desperate for some contact you try to move higher but he stops you gentle hand on yours, he looks at you and smiles pleased.
âBe patientâ He chastises without bite, as if he is any better, as if he hasnât been painfully hard since you started dancing on him, as if the way your mouth turns into a pout doesnât excite him to a scary degree.
He is deeply obsessed with you and never bothers pretending he isn't, not even from the moment you met. Joost thinks you have to know even if he doesn't say it, his eyes constantly glued on you, his hands finding you in the middle of the night to pull you closer, always attached at the hip when you are at home, he canât help it and it is not like he wants to either. He thinks back on all the nights he has had and you have had him and he can go eternally like this and live a happy man, just you and nothing else. It is perhaps an unhealthy thought, not entirely rational but with your body pressed so close to him it is hard to really think clearly or at all. His hand caresses at the small of your back soothing circles that just do more to get you worked up, you push closer to him, tits pressed against his chest, still so stubborn to keep playing the game but he doesnât feel like letting you win tonight. He pulls you closer easily with a single hand your legs almost straddling his lap, he caresses your face with his tattooed hand and pushes the hair from your beautiful face before going to whisper in your ear.
âBe good, Iâll give you everything you wantâ He says and you almost purr at him, the alcohol you kept downing through the night working its magic, your competitive spirit all but melts away as you nod, lip bitten red between your teeth. You donât know it yet but he won this time, already, actually ever since you left home earlier, all part of his calculated plan.
As the ride comes to a halt he jumps out the door, thanks the driver and pulls you to your wobbly feet, you feel like floating almost, on his arms impossibly light, and delicate like he can break you but he wonât. You want to get up to your place as fast as possible, yet he seems set on riling you up, he keeps stringing you along, getting you more and more impatient, you try to race the stairs as he keeps pulling you by the hips and pressing kisses to your mouth all the way up, making the process slower than it ever has to be. When you finally reach the door you desperately go for his pockets looking for the key, he doesn't help you and just looks delighted as you try to navigate the lock in your inebriated state.
When you finally get him inside you try to pull him to the bedroom ready ride him like it is the last time you will have him under you but he surprises you again when he pushes you gently against the entrance door. You whine into his mouth impatient as ever, but in ways it is his own fault since he has always been the one to spoil you rotten. You are so desperate for his touch, so intoxicated on your lust you let him roam his hands over your body, barely able to kiss back. He traces the curves he knows so well by heart, the delicious arch of your back into your ass kneading at the fat there that all but melts under his greedy fingers, pulling you closer to his hips, you can feel him hard against your thigh, his fingertips softly lingering under the hem of your skirt, deliciously close to your core, then he pulls his hands up your sides grabbing at your hips as he parts your legs softly with his foot, making room for himself. Instantly you are pushing your core against his thigh, he smiles an almost predatory glint on his eyes that you could have noticed had you not been so desperate to get off on his clothed leg, worse than a dog you think, almost embarrassed but the you right now couldnât care about such things.
His strong but gentle grip on your hips guides you to apply more pressure, his mouth keeps you occupied drowning any protest you might have about taking it to the bedroom. You are too drunk on him to question anything and just let him suck on your tongue and kiss your lips sore as he pleases, you wonder if he can feel how wet you are, the thong you are wearing barely doing you any favors. The rough texture of his jeans against the tender skin of your cunt is too much you can almost cum at the sensation alone. He lets you grind yourself into a frenzy on his thigh fondly remembering that first night he had you on his bed. He feels your stuttering hips, he has you where he wants you, so he stops.
He grabs your wrists and pushes them against the wall right above your head, you look up at him through glossy eyes, bewildered, almost enraged that he has the nerve to stop. He pulls away his thigh leaving your heat, cold biting at the wet skin between your legs, hanging by a thread almost at your peak but denying you.
âWhatâŚâ you trail off as he pecks your lips and smiles sweetly at you, you jostle in his grip a little but easily give up against his strength. He is never forceful, never meaning to intimidate or hurt you but you could see he had a plan, now that you had already walked right into the wolfâs mouth no point in struggling.
He kisses along your jaw and slowly starts working on your neck feeling the wild rhythm of your pulse under his lips, you moan and your hips buck upwards trying to find anything to grind on. It is now or never he thinks dramatically. âBabyâŚâ he groans against the sensitive skin under your ear, you whimper in acknowledgment, the only way you can communicate in your current state.
âBaby, I want you to ride my faceâ. He says as he kisses sloppily along your collarbones, at your sternum then licks a line up your neck. You are breathless, you feel like you died, your brain struggling to process his words, working hard to make sense of what he is asking.
âYes baby?â He sounds almost pleading you look at him now, eyes wide open, a deer caught in the headlights. His request feel so unexpected and at the same time not at all, he had asked before and in truth he had been wanting you like that completely wild on his mouth since he had first seen you, but you felt reservation somehow, shy even after all the filth you had done with him, to him and had let him do to you, somehow this one got you. Not that you didnât want it but you felt somehow selfish. He was already so good, so sweet and gentle, pampering you all the time, he just wanted to give and give and you felt bad taking so much it felt like something only for your sake and it somehow gave you a pause. He never wants to push you but now, so lost in pleasure, he just has to ask again, fight for his side.
âJoost⌠youâŚâ You can barely form a sentence, he truly kisses you stupid not a single coherent thought in that pretty little head of yours.
âI really need you to ride my face princess, pleaseâ His big blue eyes beaming back at you, pleading. It is really impossible for you to say no to him on every day life and even harder now.
âO-okay, yeah, whatever you wantâ He is back on you in a second, your brain is completely fried there are no real thoughts, it is just his smell , his taste, the weight of his hands on your body, the warmth of his skin the softness of his lips, you have never wanted anyone this bad.
He grabs your hand and guides you to the bedroom makes quick work of his clothes only staying on his black boxers with his name, you used to tease him for it now it feels so deeply him it just feels endearing. Then he goes for your clothes, you have been together so long it seems he knows better than you how to undress you, deft hands so unlike his clumsy nature. You stand in the middle of the room on slightly wobbly feet as he kneels pulling your underwear down with uncharacteristic delicacy considering his earlier pleads, you wanna laugh at him, how whipped he is, how badly he wants you, how his biggest fantasy is your pleasure but you canât, everything feels so real, so serious you can barely stand on your own two feet. As if reading your mind he grabs hold of your thighs to help you balance yourself, still on his knees in front of you he looks up kisses reverently at the skin of your thigh kneading his hands upwards. He is so tall even on his knees his face only a few inches from your heat, you feel his breath to your core, it ignites you, you feel yourself dripping and he hasnât even started.
âReady princess?â You nod not trusting your mouth that feels too heavy for words, he nods back and kisses sweetly at the heat between your legs before standing up to his full height again.
Towering over you but never feeling intimidating, however the hunger in his eyes makes you shiver in anticipation, a look you have never seen from him, not like this. He grabs hold of your hands and leads you to the bed pulling you down with him. You stumble without any grace on his embrace, tangled limbs and little giggles escape both of you before he moves upwards in the bed resting his head against the pillows. He looks divine, the light of the moon making him even more handsome it makes your chest hurt.
You are straddling your legs right at his chest, his hands in the back of your thighs pulling you closer to where he wants you, he needs you. âCome here schatjeâ you look at him but there is still a knot in your stomach, still shy, still scared of being selfish, but he wants you so badly he needs you so much, it feels unfair to deny him, to deny yourself the sweet pleasure of his warm tongue that you are so familiar with. You move upwards slowly on weak knees taking a last look at his face his hands on your ass now kneading softly.
âRelax, I wonât bite, promiseâ You snort releasing a breath you didn't know you were holding.
âYes I would hope so, you know better than thatâ He kisses the tender skin at the inside of your knee.
âIâm a well trained dogâ He makes a show of winking at you, you erupt in laughter it calms your nerves instantly.
âWhat⌠what do you want me to⌠what should I do?â You ask not knowing where to put your hands.
âUse me to get offâ He can feel the hesitation on your entire body all muscles tense like expecting the fall. He helps you and lifts his head up closer to your core, licks his lips in anticipation, you can feel his breath against your dripping heat, he can smell your scent addicting in a way he knows you would find mortifying if he ever told you, so he keeps it to himself.
He licks a long strip up your pussy, still holding your legs in place by the sides of his head like you will run away, he pulls an easy moan out of you, already knows your body so well, he licks insistently against your clit, feels you relax put more of your delicious weight on him. With the reward of his efforts he gets encouraged wrapping his lips around your hard bud suckling softly, he hears you mewl on top of him already turning to putty under his attention. He pulls away as little as possible just to spur you on, he can still feel your reservations.
âGet out of your head, I wonât breakâ. His voice is commanding but still gentle you want give him everything he wants, do everything he says.
You nod and try moving against his face slowly, gently as much as you can even when you start feeling yourself losing your mind. You look below wanting to make sure he is okay and then you see it, his eyes closed and eyebrows knit, the face of pleasure you know so well. He is getting off on this as much as you are, you test your theory as you push yourself closer to him and he moans back deliciously against your folds feeling the reverberation from his groans against your core emboldens you. He uses his strong grip on your ass and hips to start moving you back and forth against his face, the pretty tip of his nose catching on your clit making you mewl in pleasure until you get used to it, now without any shame left you start grinding yourself back and forth on his tongue as it goes deep into your cunt the wetness so addicting he keeps licking like he wants to stay between your legs forever and maybe he wants exactly that. Too soon you feel waves of pleasure building.
âJoostâ you are chanting his name over and over without a care in the world who hears, your throat will be sore tomorrow. Your hands find your perked nipples adding to the stimulation and pull slightly like he would, his own hands occupied helping you move to reach your orgasm. âAh fuckâ you whimper again you can almost feel him smile against your cunt, he can die right now right here between your legs happily, a life well lived and all that. He keeps moving your hips greedily as if he was chasing his own orgasm perhaps you are so connected your pleasure is his pleasure and truly in this position with the heat and wetness connecting you, you donât know where you end and he begins.
âIâm closeâ your hands reach to the locks of his beautiful golden hair between your legs.
âCome baby, come on my faceâ he barely manages to mumble against you core.
With those words he pushes you over the edge, you lose yourself to pleasure just as he wanted, you ride his face vigorously forgetting he has to breath and at that moment he forgets it too, only preoccupied with making your orgasm last as long as possible, insatiably licking at your clit. Your grip on his locks keeps him in place as your finish all over his face he feels your pussy clench around nothing once again pushing his tongue deep into you not wanting this moment to end while your clit grinds heavily against his nose. You are screaming at the top of your lungs your orgasm making your thighs shake but his strong arms keep you in place. He keeps sucking on your clit possessively even when you try to pull away, he is doing this for his own pleasure at this point, you let him and hold onto the bed frame as a lifeline, when he has collected every drop of your release he licks another long stripe up your pussy more soothing than anything making your shiver in delight. Finally satisfied he pulls away slightly to catch his breath, peppering kisses on the inside of your thighs, hands still holding onto you. His face is so red, he is so pretty like this he looks fucked out, so blissful like he was on the receiving end. His face is wet and shinny a mixture of your arousal and his spit you look down and stay there locked eyes, you wanna remember this forever.
âI love you so muchâ He says beaming up at you, you could almost feel guilty if he didnât look so damn proud of himself, the same face he has on after a good show.
âI love you too.â You start trying to move but your legs are jelly and you hold back onto the bed frame. âFuck, that was too goodâ You laugh looking at him, he laughs heartily always happy to get his ego stroked.
âLet meâ He maneuvers you easily and flips you over, now you are resting on the pillows as he cuddles to your side rubbing against your neck, leaving small bites and kisses, he is so wet and sticky it could be gross, it should be gross, only if it wasn't the hottest thing that has ever happened to you.
You turn to kiss him lock his lips with yours, taste yourself on his tongue, he deepens the kiss, the dog, that is exactly what he wanted, you smile against his lips. He leaves you breathless kissed stupid again, you feel him jostle a little and see him throw his boxers somewhere on the floor, then he pulls you closer to his chest. You feel his heart beat under your ear, you are so tired, you feel boneless could fall asleep any second heavy lidded eyes and yet you still want him, you always do.
âDo you wanna-â he stops you, kissing at the top of your head.
âNo needâ He pulls the comforter over both of you.
You look up at him, eyebrow crooked and he just has an easy smile on his lips as he reaches for the nightstand drawer where he keeps some cigarettes exactly for times like this. He looks down at you as he lights the one between his lips, you look at him amazed, you can't belive it, he came, he came because of you, completely untouched, fully at your mercy. A shot of adrenaline makes you raise from his chest hold yourself on your elbows to look at him properly, trying to come up with something to say opening and closing your mouth not quite processing what just happened. Unable to come up with anything coherent enough you give up and just come closer to him once again pulling the cigarette off his lip and letting him blow his smoke into your mouth, you take it, like everything he gives you. You kiss him again, hungry, possessive and proud, like you could bite him raw and it still wouldnât be enough. You realize something Joost has know for a while now, you can never be close enough it is terrifying and horribly exciting at the same time. He pulls your face closer deepens the kiss tangles his fingers in your hair and then rests his forehead against yours, just breathing you in. You are in an indescribable ecstasy all you can do is throw your head back and laugh, he follows as he smokes, laughs with you then chases your lips, kisses your smile.
âYou taste really fucking good.â He says against your hair as he pulls you back to his chest still chuckling, sleep starts dragging you soon enough as he finishes his cigarette.
Obsession as a description for what he feels for you might be coming short these day, maybe devotion could be closerâŚ

Could you do a todoroki oneshot/head cannons for him having a secrete crush on (y/n) and doing some cheesy confessions? Thanks a lot!!â¤ď¸đ¤
âI LOVE IT WHEN YOU CALL MY NAME.â
shoto todoroki x reader.
summary: shoto has developed a crush that even he himself doesnât quite understand, so heâs hiding it. you however, have a small huge crush on him yourself aswell. hopefully he can confess!
warnings: mentions of the todoroki family, shoto being a little insecure, fluff with a SMALL tinge of angst! reader is as whipped as he is lol!
a/n: i decided to turn this into a little one shot. ty for requesting this ml! i really enjoy writing shoto and trying to understand his character (especially trying to interpret how he would do a confession lol!) enjoy!!!! pls send more requests. this is quite long i feel like :( i hope itâs to your liking!!!
â
âtodoroki, have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in love?â
that was a sentence shoto didnât think heâd have to answer at 10 am in the morning. yet here he is. standing very stiffly next to a happy momo who is helping him make breakfast for their classmates. the question certainly woke him up at this early time.
ânot really.â
âoh come on! you know iâm not the type to push boundaries but are you sure?â momo looked at him in confusion, for a boy like shoto everyone wouldâve thought love defintely came easily to him.
âi donât think i have. please hand me the knife.â
momo sighed and passed him the knife before moving around the kitchen and grabbing the rest of the ingredients to finish up their meal.
ââ
the conversation with momo had been stuck in shotoâs head all throughout the day (it was currently 1 pm). he felt as though he answered her wrong. yet, how would he know a thing about love? romantic love. souls being practically tied to another. he didnât know anything about it.
shoto felt uneasy facing emotions he never explored: love. It was like standing on a cliff's edge, peering into an unfamiliar abyss. His usually composed demeanor faltered as he grappled with the intensity of these new feelings. yet, despite his apprehension, a part of him was curious, cautiously reaching out to understand this uncharted territory.
from a young age, shoto learned he couldn't rely on his parents to model what real love looked like or how to navigate relationships. they weren't an example he could follow, leaving him uncertain and unguided in matters of the heart. thatâs something shoto learnt at a young age, he couldnât rely on his parents to show him what real love looks like.
heâs not very good at lying. thats also something shoto learnt at a young age. it baffles him how he has been able to hide his crush on you for this long.
you sat comfortably next to shoto, scrolling through your phone and peppering him with questions about the various foods you were discovering on your Pinterest feed.
âoh my gosh! did you know that strawberries are the most common fruit people use to confess their love?â you grinned like a child and turned your phone towards shoto who was already paying attention to your scrolling.
âoh wow, i didnât know that.â shotos answer came out more nonchalant than he wanted and he winced, praying you wouldnât be upset with him.
instead, you felt a warmth in your stomach at his words. excited to teach him more about strawberries, you leaned closer.
shotos breath hitched at the smell of your perfume engulfing his senses, he could practically see ever detail of your face. to the way you did your makeup all the way down to the necklace you wore that shoto had gifted you for your birthday.
the sight made shotos cheeks flushed as he took deep breaths. as of right now, shoto wished he would be more calm like he usually is.
damn it, hiding a crush is not easy.
little did either of you know, you were both thinking the same thing.
ââ
strawberries. the history of the strawberry dates back to Ancient Rome where the fruit was considered the symbol of Venus, the goddess of love, because of its red color and enticing taste.
shoto had been sitting in his dorm for hours looking up facts about strawberries.
he gently placed his phone down and pondered. does the kitchen have strawberries? or would he have to go buy some?
âiâll check the kitchen.â he mumbled, hurriedly making his way there.
upon his arrival, he realized everyone seemed to be also chilling in their dorms. it was only 5 oâclock and a free day for his classmates to relax and catch up.
he searched the fridge, a deep frown settling on his face when he realized there were no strawberries.
shoto stared at the fridge for a couple minutes, debating what to do.
âshoto? is that you?â he jumped at the sound of the kitchen door creaking open but relaxed after realizing it was just you.
âsorry! didnât mean to scare you. what are you looking for?â you moved towards him, stopping right behind him and peering over his shoulder to look at what the fridge might contain for him.
much to shotos dismay, it didnât contain the one thing he wanted. the thing he craved however was just standing behind him.
âi want strawberries. do you want to come to the store with me to get some?â shoto peered back at you with the cutest look on his face. your heart clenched at his unintentional puppy eyes.
âyes! i mean- sure.â you stumbled over your words and he softly smiled, moving to grab his hoodie as you excitedly walked beside him, leaving the dorms and heading to the store.
the walk was calm, exactly what you needed but also despised. for months, it felt as if you had been left in the dark with shoto. it seems as though heâs keeping something from you.
selfishly, you really want to understand his sudden demeanour change. heâs almost softer, sweeter and very careful with you.
selfishly, shoto also wants to just run away and hide. he is not good at keeping secrets from you. this secret is something he knows would affect your friendship greatly. which is why heâs afraid.
âshoto. weâre here.â you spoke to him softly, the chill evening air makes you feel at peace next to him and shoto swears you glow as the afternoon sun hits the side of your face perfectly.
âi really want strawberries.â shoto said and you swore you almost let out a cackle at his blunt words, why did he need that fruit so badly?
âthen letâs look!â
you two trudged to the fruit section of the store, analyzing which strawberries would be perfect.
ây/n, look at these ones.â shoto beckoned you over and you happily walked over to where he stood.
shoto had managed to find the most perfect strawberries you had never seen, they looked so perfect! (just like him) and you quickly nodded your head towards the cashier.
âhello! my my, what a lovely young couple you two are! did you know, strawberries are a symbol of love?â the cashier, a friendly middle aged women, spoke endearingly at you two.
âoh! we arenât a-â
âthank you, mâaam.â shoto softly smiled at the lady and she grinned back, winking at you as you blushed.
âhave a good one, you two!â the cashier waved as you two exited the store, you being too flustered to reply while shoto waved back at her.
his nerves began to get the best of him, his idea didnât seem like it would work now. what if his perspective of love is wrong and heâs doing the opposite of what you think love is? the questions continued to plague his mind like a sick joke and taunt. his mind seemed to be his biggest enemy.
were you against the idea of dating him? you didnât reply to the lady in the store. was it his scar? was it his personality? shoto suddenly really liked the idea of crawling into hole.
you moved towards a bench nearby, patting the seat next to you. you didnât enjoy how quiet shoto had been. normally he would at least say a few words and you would be able to continue the conversation. shoto seemed speechless suddenly.
shoto stared at the batch of strawberries in his lap, grateful they were washed. he could eat them now with you.
he picked up what seemed like one singular strawberry that laid perfectly on top of the rest. as he picked the strawberry up, it revealed to be a double strawberry. (press on the text to learn more!)
âwoah! a double strawberry, can we split it?â you spoke for the first time in a while and shoto felt his heart swoon, you wanted to share a strawberry with him?
shoto only nodded and split the strawberry for you two, a red hue very evident on his cheeks as he took a bite of the strawberry.
âyou know, iâve been wanting to tell you something for a while.â
shotos nerve racking words caused you to perk up in your seat as you quietly ate the strawberry, encouraging him to continue.
âum, strawberries mean love.â shoto mentally face palmed. that is not what he wanted to say!
you giggle, âi know sho! i told you that.â
silence overtook you two once again as you gave shoto a moment to think about his words, patiently nervously swinging your legs back and fourth beneath the bench.
âit is also said that if you spilt a double strawberry with someone, you two will fall in love.â shoto whispered those words as if they were forbidden.
your eyes widened and you let out a huff of laughter, trying to make humour of the situation incase he does but agree with your next words.
âand what happens if youâre already in love?â
shotos eyes bulged, he looked up from where he was staring at his feet nervously to make eye contact with you for the first time in a while.
the feeling of being nervous about what the other will say seems so intense, but once you're already in love, every word they utter becomes a symphony that warms your heart. you two felt that way each time the other spoke.
âthen⌠the two will grow their relationship and be more than friends?â shoto asked shyly.
âyeah, that sounds about right.â you grinned, shuffling closer to shoto, finishing your strawberry as you place your head on his shoulder.
shoto smiled a toothy grin, silently applauding himself. his confession wasnât as bad he thought it would be! strawberries really do symbolize love.
ââ
A/N: UM HI⌠i hope this was how you wanted it!!! i kinda got carried away⌠if you guys canât tell i really like strawberries so i had to include them. please send tips for me to improve my writing and requests for not just mha, but jjk too!

Arachnid Anxiety
You're Spider-Woman, and you've been tasked with babysitting Mayday. Maybe you have a bit of stress that you need to vent about, and Hobie comes along quite conveniently for that purpose.
Genre: Fluff, reader having anxiety, Hobie giving her advice, very cute, reader is a Jessica Drew variant, perhaps mutual pining if you squint, takes place during the movie but before Miles arrives to the Society, terrible british slang attempts (sorry Hobie :'))
Word Count: 2.4k
Babies are hard to wrangle when theyâre crawling up walls.
Of course, Peter B. Parker said that he needs a nap, just this once, and he needs someone to watch over Mayday while he sneaks away into the sleeping pods in the Spider-Society-System. Sometimes he and MJ donât get sleep for days at a time, so you get it.
But Mayday is so curious, and you find yourself having to pull her prying hands away before she inadvertently tampers with things around Miguelâs labs and causes either a mass outage or a explosion or Miguelâs wrath. You understand why Peter is a little exhausted.
Sheâs a very cute baby, though, and you canât help but coo at her as she clambers off the wall into your arms.Â
âWhoâs a good Spidey? Whoâs gonna be the best of us?â You shake her up and down and she giggles, wrapping her arms around you.Â
You instinctively flinch, feeling your Spider-Sense go off.
âLarge statement to make. But I see where youâre coming from.â Spider-Punk comes up from behind you, and you turn to him. âSheâs definitely punk.â
âHey, donât go claiming someone elseâs kid as one of your own.â You joke, and Hobie scowls as he pulls off his mask.
âDonât believe in claims. Or labels, for that matter.â He scratches his hair, looking effortless as he ever does, and you roll your eyes. âShe is⌠who she is. Forgive me for using a descriptive word, Spider-Woman.â
âI get it.â You hold Mayday as she squeals at the sight of Hobie, and she motions in an uppy-uppy motion. She wants to be held by him, but he ignores her.
You never quite know how to feel about Hobie Brown. The Amazing Spider-Punk is revolutionary, known for being better than just his wordsâ he holds himself to the very essence of anarchy. He practices what he preaches.
But you canât quite get a read on the guy. You donât know if heâs pulling your legâ or taking the piss as he would sayâ when he gives his bouts of advice while somehow simply being amazing through it all. He somehow knows what to say but he also isnât the most comforting, and that in itself makes you drawn to him. He just happens to be kind of rough around the edges, and itâs because of that you know he truly means what he says.Â
No sugar-coating, ever.
But you hate yourself, because youâve somehow managed to fall for him.Â
Itâs not uncommon for Spideys to fall for each other. Peter Parker and Cindy Moon, Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy. But you know this is the one time it just wouldnât end well for you.
You can already hear Hobieâs comments if he ever found out. Heâd probably rebuke you even though youâd never try anything. Tell you he doesnât feel that way and youâre delusional for potentially thinking that he would ever tie himself down. Spiders are meant to be swinging free and all that.
Even worse, he just happens to be beautiful. Youâre positive that if Hobie wasnât so anti-everything he would have stuck with being a runway model. His face is molded in a distinctive way that has you trying to catch his glance, even if he only looks at you with nonchalance, completely unbothered, not a hint of chemistry in his eyes.
It is with great displeasure that you find yourself wanting his bored attention anyways.
And so youâve been swallowing your crush for the greater part of a year now. Youâre sure it will pass like all things do.
Pavitr, as much as you love him, has told you many times about the âchemistryâ between you and Hobieâ and you have told him every time to fuck off. Not in an actual harsh way, because again you canât help but love the guy, but because you donât need false hope.
Youâre just Spider-Woman. Another red-and-yellow suited variant of Jessica Drew, you might as well just be another Peter Parker. You know thatâs not how youâre supposed to think of yourself, but itâs just how it is. Canon events brought you here, and according to Miguel, itâs not something you choseâ you just happened to be there at the right time and place. Youâre no Jess, who comes in on her motorcycle, raging heat and excitement on her toesâ you are one of the many, instead of being exceptional like the few.
Youâre not like Hobie, who is as far as you know, one of a kind.
âWhatâs on your mind, Spider-Woman?â Hobie asks as he picks through random tech on the desk in Miguelâs lab, taking what he feels is useful for whatever it is he does with the stuff. Heâs never used your name, because he doesnât know it.
You and a few other Spider-People have chosen to stay anonymous, for different reasons, and only Miguel and Margo know who you really are. Hobie has told you before that thatâs pretty coolâ he only chose to give up his name because it was easier to get along with people that way. Hobie knows thereâs power in people.
âJust babysitting. Obviously.â You motion to Mayday, who takes this moment to thwip out a web and swing away from youâ but youâre faster and you grab her back into your arms, and she pouts.
âNah, nah. I mean that sour expression upon your lovely little visage, imbecile.â He pokes your masked cheek, and you find yourself blushing but pulling away from him. Hobie is like thatâ overly familiar and no real sense of space because he doesnât care.
âItâs not lovely.â You retort, fully convinced of it because he has never seen your face, only your incredulous expression through the eyes of your mask.Â
You think that Hobie is again being sarcastic about your unknown appearance, and because his back is facing yours as he searches through random shelves now, you donât catch how his face frowns at your response.
âDisagreements about your anonymous-but-surely beautiful face asideâ not that looks matter, mind youâ youâre clearly miffed about something.â Hobie turns and crosses his arms, and itâs with a little embarrassment and comfort that you want his advice. Even if itâs kind of to do with him.
âWell, I guess, uh⌠lately Iâve just been feeling kind of down. Like whatâs the point of all this?â You bite your lip, knowing Hobieâs feelings on nihilism. âI donât mean like nothing in life matters, Hobie. I mean more that I donât mattâ I donât⌠anyways, I feel useless. I donât have anything special about me, I donât really bring anything to the Spider-Society that wasnât already brought.â
"Whoa whoa whoa. Nah, lady, you've got your priorities all twisted." Hobie pulls your arms, bringing you kind of closer to him, and rests his hands on your shoulders, making you listen. "This inner hatred stuffâ that sick urge to feel shame and then blast it inside of yourself, all that repression, yeah? It's a crock of shit."
"Huh?" You and Mayday both peer up at him. You behind your mask, and she with her crocheted one.Â
Hobie picks up Mayday, finally giving into her wishes to be held by him, and she immediately giggles. Thereâs a subtle smile on his face that warms him to you a little.
"It might feel good in the moment. It might even feel revolutionary." Hobie scowls, and scratches his jaw. "It's worthless. Notice, Spider, I didn't call you worthless. The very action is garbage, a visceral thing that brings no productive valueâ that's what they want you to feel."
"Ah, because then I'll never fight against the establishment, right, Hobie? I'll be too busy fighting myself." You say mockingly, taking on a fake-pretentious-Cockney accent, mimicking him, but Hobie gives you a chill look and nods.
"Now you're getting it."
"Aw." You slump and slouch and sit on the counter full of gadgets and gizmos next to him. "I know you're right, but⌠don't you ever get people getting mad at you?"
"You've lost me."
"Like⌠being so responsible." You roll your eyes as Hobie snickers and whispers the spider-mantra you all know so well. "Or just living by your own ideology so⌠efficiently. It's almost like a slap in the face to the rest of us Spiders. We donât know how to cope, and here comes along Spider-Punk with all his personal assurance that even if things aren't alright, he'll make it alright for himself."
"Oi, trust me, it wasn't all that easy." Hobie sniffs and sits down next to you, holding Mayday close and then letting her go as she crawls onto the wall in front of you. "You really think I haven't had a bad day? I havenât had my moments of self doubt, huh?â
âUh⌠well. When you put it like that, it does sound kind of crazy.â You admit, and nudge him with your shoulder. âI didnât mean any harm, Hobie. I just feel so⌠inadequate.â
âJust stop.â He crosses his arms and closes his eyes, and you feel that yet again, heâs somewhat unreadable. âDonât think those things. Youâre not inadequate.â
âBut Iââ
âStop.â He grasps your hands, and squeezes them tightly in his own, and you wonder if Hobie has ever looked this seriously at you, his eyes soft yet firm with affection.
Youâre in trouble, you think. Your heart is pounding and youâre really glad he canât see your face.
âI donât think you know how important you are.â He utters so quietly, in that very deep voice that has you leaning in to hear him better. âYouâre not nothing, Spider-Woman. Youâve done a lot of good for your Earth-257, Iâm sure, and that makes you something special. Like the rest of usâ youâre kind of irreplaceable, right?â
âI guess.â
âNot âI guess.ââ Hobie punches the side of your arm and you pretend to say ow, laughing a little. âIf you didnât exist, weâd all be poorer for it. Peter couldnât ask you to chill with his baby, and I couldnât be here talking your ear off.â
âBut Iâm notâ I donât really compare to her, you know?â You say without thinking, and then immediately squint at your own stupidity.Â
âWhoâs her?â Hobie is wary of how your expression is shifting. âStacy?â
âUh, no.â You inhale, exhale, and then decide itâs time to get it over with. âJess.â
âJess? Jessica Drew, huh?â Hobie smirks a little. âYou donât want to be adopted by her, do you?â
âMore complicated than Gwenâs weird fantasy.â You shift on your spot on the counter, and pull off your mask after a minute of tribulations. âIâm⌠also Jessica Drew.â
You feel incredibly shy as Hobie takes in your face, wary of his every move as you feel yourself sweating, and he grasps your face gently, peering into your eyes and taking a look at your features, as if heâs really trying to remember them. Â
âHuh.â
âWhat is it?â You say a little too defensively, and he shrugs.Â
âYou do have a lovely visage, you silly little sod. Even if itâs completely different from Jessâ face.â He laughs as you shove him away, covering your face in your hands. âNo, donât do that.â
Heâs tracing your jaw, and he murmurs. âMaybe you could use a few piercings⌠a tat or two⌠ever thought about it?â
âNo.â You shut your eyes. âIâm not cool like you.â
âOh, shut it.â He leans in imperceptibly closer, and you blink, eyes open. Maybe Pavitr had a point that Hobie and you have something, because thereâs not really another explanation for that look in his eyes. âYouâre plenty cool, Jessica Drew. It was just a shit suggestion of mine.â
You think Hobart âHobieâ Brown is sweeter than you previously thought. You have half a mind to tell him about your feelings.
You and Hobie both look up, Spider-Senses tingling, and sure enough, Mayday is cooing from the ceilingâ she leaps into your already waiting arms. She giggles at your expression.
Oh well, you think. Thereâll be some other time to work up the courage to tell him.
Hobie half-smirks at her. âWay to interrupt us, Mayday.â
She looks at him all confused, tilting her head in a âhuh?â motion, and you feel the same way, not entirely sure what Hobie meant by that and not willing to assume either.
He answers you by pulling your face in a sudden, swift motion, connecting his lips to yours, and in between the two of you, Mayday shrieks and laughs. She crawls off to the side of you, no longer smothered between your torsos.
Hobie is weirdly insistentâ you feel like heâs been wanting to do this for a while, maybe longer than the length of your conversation (you donât know if this is just a funny little fling for him, but youâre fairly sure it isnât) and heâs a lot taller and lankier than you, so he really has to tower over you to reach your mouth better. Heâs grasping your jaw and neck and the back of your head with a lot of intensityâ you feel wildly dizzy when he pulls away.
âUh.â Peter B. Parker is standing in front of you both, mouth wide open, and you look back at Hobie and he grins rather coolly, not really giving a damn. Itâs enough to make you snort. âWait, who are you?â
âOh. Spider-Woman from Earth 257.â You remember Peter has never seen your face, either. âJessica Drew?â
âRight, right.â Peter raises his hands in a whoop-de-doo motion, like he shouldâve known that. âNice to know what you look like behind the mask. Not nice to know that youâve been avoiding your babysitting duties. Why are you two fooling around like prepubescent children? What happened to responsibility?â
âAhhhhh, please, Peter. Live a little.â Hobie stands up, his full length of height drawing him to about the same height as Peter if not an inch taller. He picks up Mayday and hands her off to him. âLetâs not act as if you and MJ werenât shacking up in the sleeping pods last week, yeah? Does Miguel need to know about how irresponsible you were?â
You think heâs kidding, but Peter pales and you clap your hands over your mouth, trying not to laugh. Miguel would absolutely throw a fit if he found that out.
âUhâŚâ Peter swallows. âAt least thatâs not an interdimensional tragedy-in-the-making like you two.â
âThereâs no rules against that, I donât think.â Hobie shrugs. âAnd if there are, fuck them. Miguel doesnât know it all.â
âHe really is punk to the very end.â Peter groans and leaves out to the hallway with Mayday.Â
Hobie flashes a smile at you as he sits back down, ruffling your hair.

Zoro drunkenly (or while tipsy) confesses his love to Sanji one night but, in the same breath, tells him itâs okayâhe knows Sanji is straight and is fine with them remaining "only" crewmates, he just had to get these feelings out of his system. And Sanji is overwhelmed because ???? Where is this even coming from? Why is the mosshead suddenly saying these things? This isnât how their relationship is supposed to work. They donât do the whole talking thing, especially not about serious topics?? When they have emotions to work through they fight each other, maybe throw in an insult or two. But this? This is unfamiliar territory for Sanji, so heâs really not sure how to react, much less respond.
So he doesnât; he just stares at Zoro, his mouth opening and closing. Zoro takes that as his sign, gets up from the stairs heâd been sitting on, and leaves for the sleeping quarters. It is quite late, after all.
The next morning while preparing breakfast Sanji is oh so tense. Heâs still mostly confused because thereâs just no way the green-haired brute could harbor any such feelings toward another human beingâleast of all himâcould he? And what if this does change things? Zoro said it wouldnât, but who's to say?
And Zoro acts like nothing ever happened, he's just the same old moss ball that drinks too much Sake and takes way too many naps during the day and Sanji is so confused and he's getting angry now, because how can he act so nonchalant while the cook is over here losing his god damn mind over this? Does Zoro maybe not remember confessing? Had he been that drunk?
And obviously Zoro DOES remember, and he's NOT calm at all. He's freaking out internally every time he and Sanji are in the same room, but he'd rather lose his remaining eye than have anyone notice. So he does his best to play it cool. And yeah, maybe he takes a nap or two more than usual, and maybe he spends even more time working out in the crow's nest than is strictly necessary, but that is nobodyâs business but his own, isnât it?
Bla bla bla cue Sanji questioning the universe and his existence, freaking out over his sexuality, sloooowly coming to terms with it and then freaking out again about telling Zoro and what it means for the crew dynamic etc etc.
Also Robin being somewhere in the background of the story, smiling to herself, sipping on her tea, because of course she knows something is up, and she has a pretty good idea of what it is about, even if she doesnât know the whole story, because she knows pretty much everything thatâs going on on the sunny, cause sheâs the responsible older sisterâ˘ď¸.
ââââââââââââââââââââ-
I have never attempted to write anything before, not even a rough draft like this, but Zosan has been living in my head rent free for the past few months now, and once the idea for a possible plot popped up in my mind I absolutely needed to note it down. Oh well, I hope I am not embarrassing myself too much by posting this.
Anyways, this is the most I can offer due to a lack of actual literary skills, but I still hope you enjoyed!
The obligatory English isnât my first language speech: please excuse any spelling and grammar mistakes, I tried my best, I swear!
