What kind of sexual thoughts do people have about you? A nsfw pac reading
Paid readings
$5 readings
Tip me!!
Check out my other readings
Pile 1-
Wow this is crazy, a lot of people have these about you I must say. I had a vision of a lot of people jerking off to you too? Insane but yea there is also this theme of you looking like a medal to them like "yea fuck if I get her I've won everything " i see people wanting to fuck you very roughly by slamming you onto the table. A lot of people fantasize about doing it with you in public spaces. People love you ass you might sort of give the vibes of Sydney Sweeney? I'm also seeing these old American diners people might want to get into a lot of foreplay dressing with you. I'm also seeing them fantasise about you being a waiter and them the policeman? People want to clap you ass this is insane you have no idea how many people out there want to genuinely fuck you pile 1. I'm seeing everyone having these thoughts about you and then realising that you are out of their league. People might also want to suck your titties yo?? I see a lot of men wanting to be babied by you đ. There is Pisces energy here that I'm seeing also cancer water signs basically.
p.s- There is a bald man or almost bald man losing his shit over you
Pile 2-
People might want to prove themselves to you? I see men wanting to last more with you? Your sexual energy or energy is general might challenge men even if we are looking at the matchstick you guys choose there is this woman smirking in it haha so men might naturally feel as if their masculinity is being challenged by you. You might also degrade them in some way or they might want you to. I see men wanting you to crush them? Don't some people have that fetish in which they love to see things being crumbled with someone else's feet? I see that and also a feet fetish. They might fantasize about you leading in the bedroom I also saw a chain and someone acting like a dog so there you go lmao. People want you to degrade them and crush them lmao. I also see them focusing more on pleasing you and fulfilling your desires. They might want to kiss your feet and your lower body. I'm also seeing a curvaceous lower body.
Pile 3-
People might want to do it with you after a heated argument? I just see all immediate sexual encounters as in two people entering the room and immediately getting started. Do you go to hotels or cafes? I see spaces with a lot of people where people have these thoughts about you. A lot of people might want to have heated one night stands with you? People have sexual thoughts about hearing you moan and running out of breath. They might want them to lead you and guide you. I see them wanting you to praise them throughout the entire thing too. People want it to be a very impulsive encounter out of nowhere. Alot of screaming and breaking of things I heard the sound of plates breaking for some reason I keep having visions of Monica Bellucci. Anyways I see this theme of people wanting to have a heated one night stands with you and then working hard to please you.
Pile 4-
Hell naww I see very strange people wanting to have sex with you? Like in very inappropriate settings people might have these thoughts about you. You might have sex with people in order to distract yourself from pain? You might fuck people so good that they might forget everything that's on their mind. I see people talking halfway and then just moaning in pleasure not being able to get enough breath to even continue what they were trying to say. People from your work or own team might have these sorts of feelings towards you too. I see less feelings and passion from your side I see you tossing other people once the act is done too for some reason? I keep seeing inappropriate settings or relations for this pile maybe a boss or just a random ass relation
Thankyou!!

CALLING THEM "HUSBAND" IN PUBLIC đ âïœĄđŠč°â§
featuring. gojo satoru, nanami kento, geto suguru x reader
warnings. none :)
note. this was based off the tiktok trend where you call your boyfriend "husband" in public, i forgot this trend existed until it appeared on my fyp again lmao.
GOJO SATORU. the first time he heard the word "husband" escape your throat when you were both standing in a line to order from a fast food chain, he thought he had heard wrong. but, frankly, he didn't really mind at all being called that â in fact, he felt delighted.
"i'll have the cheeseburger B set with no pickles," you tell the cashier before humming out softly, "and my husband will have the double cheeseburger C set, and an ice cream with extra chocolate syrup."
gojo was silent, he lets you speak and order for him. although his heart fluttered as he sways side to side behind you, a flowery aura surrounding him â gojo pays for the food, and grabbed the tray with one hand with no problem at all. happily guiding you to an empty table.
"so . . . what was that about, hm?" he sat across from you, his chin stuck to the palm of his hand. smiling widely.
"what was what about?" you questioned back, taking a spoonful of ice cream before plopping the fluffy texture into your mouth.
gojo eyed you, "oh, you know . . . me being your husband and all," he sings out, brushing the chocolate syrup that managed to tinge the corner of your lips with his thumb â the male brought his thumb towards his lips, swiping his tongue over the chocolate, "not that 'm complaining about it."
you chuckled softly, "'ts a tiktok trend, 'toru."
the male rolled his eyes, "no, it's not. i will marry you one day, i promise."
NANAMI KENTO. he's actually a bit surprised â and speechless at that. the both of you would be in a date, when you got a phone call from one of your friend. initially, you wanted to let the call ring, but you decided to brush that off your mind and answered the call with a thought in mind.
answering the call, you were immediately questioned with a "where are you?"
nonchalantly, you answered her, "me? 'm out with my husband, why?" and nanami who was sitting across from you with a cup of tea â almost choked when he heard your answer. swallowing down the lukewarm tea down his throat, nanami waited patiently until you ended the call to question you regarding it.
he had to wait for the next seven minutes for the call to end, and the moment your phone retracted from your ear, he was quick to follow you up on it, "husband?"
looking at him, you nodded, "is that a problem? would you like me to stop calling you that?"
nanami shook his head with a small smile, "no, no. i liked the sound of it," he mumbles softly, straining back his lips from up-warding by kissing the edge of his tea cup.
"the sound of what? being my husband?"
he nods, "yes. your husband."
GETO SUGURU. oh, believe me when he will be smug about being called "husband" by you. all smiles, the corner of his eyes crinkling lightly as he gazes at you â waiting for an explanation. geto won't say anything because he wanted you to be the one to explain it to him.
both you and geto were out. it was summer. hot, sweaty, and sticky. what else would be better than an ice cream about now?
geto went out his way to approach an ice cream truck, telling you to go find shade as he gets the sweet treat for you both to enjoy. but when he came back â there you were, sitting on a bench under a shade of a tree, with another boy by your side. someone who is not him.
as he confidently strides over to you, he saw you light up a bit and there you said, "ah, there's my husband."
smug. smug. smug.
he handed you your ice cream, eyeing the unknown male up and down before a slight smirk appeared on his face. that male was nothing compared to him.
"who's your friend, baby?" geto asks calmly, licking his ice cream. his gaze intent on the male's eyes, not breaking the contact. he didn't back down until the stranger walked away nervously, and geto turns to look at you, an arched brow.
"i was in a heap of moment, silly."
he shrugs, "even if you weren't, i'd like you to call me that every time."

Can I request Wade and Logan/reader breeding kink? đđ both of them too excited about it and competitive? (Can you make reader gender neutral (he/him or they/them or trans ftm (he/him), you can use any terms for genitals and stuff it's ok)
into it (Logan x Reader x Wade)
Reader: he/him (ftm)
/NSFW Logan x Reader x Wade/
A/N:Â Fuuck I had so much fun writing this, anon! It's a bit short but it's pure porn so I hope you still end up satisfied lol (also sorry about the random gif, I couldn't find a more suiting one lmao). Anyway, hope you like it! xoxo
Tags:Â ftm reader (reader has a vagina), breeding kink, creampie, they both fuck you, Wade being a fucking joke, Logan is not having it, piv sex (unprotected), porn without plot.
Word Count:Â 908
â
As soon as you walked through the front door, they were all up in your personal space. Wade and Logan promptly started to take your clothes off, not exactly caring about being gentle.
"Boys! Calm down, there's plenty of me for the both of you!" You tried appeasing, but to no avail.
"And yet is nearly not enough." Groaned Logan, ripping your underwear off with his bare hands. You gasped as his fingers immediately found your sex, rubbing your clit while Wade kissed your neck.
"Sorry about that, doll. We'll buy you another one." Wade whispered into your ear, taking you by the hand and convincing Logan to continue things in the bedroom.
You were basically thrown onto the bed, naked and vulnerable and super turned on. You could already see their hard bulges before they started to take their own clothes off.
"On all fours for us." Ordered Logan, and you gladly obliged. "Attaboy..."
After all their clothes were out, Logan started positioning himself behind you until you heard Wade complain.
"Wait a minute, mutton chops! Why do you think you get to go first?" Wade pointed out.
"Because I can and I will." Logan retorted impatiently, giving your ass a light squeeze.
"Nuh-uh! That ain't fair! I propose a rock-paper-scissors to sort things out, nothing fairer than that." Said Wade holding a closed fist out.
"Fucking hell, fine!" Logan agreed and quickly started the game. They finished the round and Logan played scissors, while Wade played paper.
"Best out of three?" Begged Wade, but the other man didn't care for it.
"Fuck off." Logan pushed Wade aside and started positioning himself again, putting the tip of his cock at your entrance.
You were really wet, so it didn't hurt when he slammed into you. You were full, stuffed to the brim, and you thought it couldn't get any better than that... until Logan began thrusting into you, hitting a sweet spot inside that made you cry out in pleasure.
"Let us hear those sweet sounds you make, boy." Logan said while fucking you. He breathed loudly, grunting and grabbing you at the hips with enough force to bruise. The sounds you made together were obscene, and that turned Wade on even more.
"Gosh... fuck him silly, Wolvie." Wade was jacking himself off, looking closely at Logan's dick in and out of you. "Cum inside him..."
Logan groaned again, more urgent than before. A sudden thought took over him, and he needed to let it out. "I'm gonna breed you, (y/n). I'm gonna fill you up so good... fuck, fill you up with my seed."
"Goddamn!" Said a surprised Wade, not expecting the other man to be so earnest. "That's so fucking dirty... I love it."
"Ah, yes! Please..." You moaned, feeling energy and heat through your whole body. You were being used by him, your body only an object... it turned you on so damn much.
Logan's thrusts began to get even more rough, he was fucking you hard and the sounds he made were animalistic. Soon he turned erratic, his hips faltering in the rhythm he had set. You knew he was close.
He came with a loud grunt, holding you for dear life. Breathing deeply through his gritted teeth, Logan recovered and slowly took his member out of you. A bit of cum dripped from your entrance, and Wade observed everything with a delighted expression.
"I bet I can cum even more in his pussy..." He whispered mostly to himself, but you both heard him.
"You wanna bet, bub?" Said Logan with a satisfied smile on his face. What doesn't a good fuck does to one man's humor?
"Hell yeah, peanut." Wade soon replaced the other man's position and unlike Logan, asked for your approval. "You alright, gorgeous?"
"Y-Yeah... please, give it to me." You moaned as you felt his cock entering you, stuffing you up again.
Wade was a bit gentler with his hands, grabbing you thoughtfully at the places you weren't bruised. But his rhythm... he was still a beast.
"Fuuuck, you feel so good, pretty boy." He moaned, not stopping for a second.
"Hmm, Wade... Logan... ah!" You couldn't stop making noises and calling out for them, dumb with the feeling of being full.
"Good job, sugar... you're being so good for us." Said Logan while standing beside you, watching as Wade pounded into you with great enthusiasm.
"Shit, I'm close... I'll cum inside your pretty cunt, (y/n)." Wade gripped you even harder and finally slammed his hips into you, his climax followed by a deep moan.
He took a few breaths and slowly came back to earth, removing himself from you with a pop. Even more cum oozed from inside you, a beautiful and sexy sight for the both of them.
"As my partner here mentioned earlier... consider yourself 'bred'." Wade taunted, giving a final slap on your ass and retreating himself to put an arm over Logan's shoulder. "Sooo... about that bet, what is my prize?"
You laughed as you laid on your back to watch them both, exhausted but completely satisfied.
Logan suddenly grabbed Wade by his balls, looking him in the eyes. "You get to keep all of your blood inside your body today, sounds good?"
Wade responded in a higher octave, nodding his head and still holding Logan's shoulders. "Ouchie! So rough!" Logan let him go, but Wade only got closer. "You're lucky I'm into it."

âwhere we left off.
pairing: hwang hyunjin x reader
genre: fluff, very slight drama, pining, non-idol au, best friendâs brother au
word count: 7.4k
summary: spending new yearsâs eve at a club with your best friendâs brother and his friends sounded like a lot of fun. that until a certain girl felt like fighting you for him, and suddenly spending the countdown back at your place, just the two of you, sounded so much better.
warnings: mentions of alcohol
authorâs note: hellooo, donât come for me, as usual i couldnât control myself lmao. this is kind of like part 5.2 of my social media au âheart outâ, in case anyone who doesnât follow the story comes across this one shot. i hope this manages to give you all some more context of what was going on behind the texts, and i hope you all enjoy! if you do please donât forget to leave an ask or a comment with your thoughts on it<3
âYouâre kiddingâ.
A single chuckle was heard in the hallway, where Hyunjin stood holding up a quite long puffer jacket of his for you to wear.
It was comical, actually â how you had opened the door for him with a smile adorning your face, only for it to be erased the second he flaunted the jacket in your face and you were hit with the fact that he was indeed not kidding when he told you earlier that day that heâd bring you a jacket if you decided you werenât wearing one.
A part of him regretted it as soon as he saw you. You looked beautiful. You always did, but the dress you decided to wear that night could only make him feel like not taking his eyes off of you for even just a second; wishing he could throw the jacket to the side and act like he hadnât brought it in the first place.
The most rational part of him, the one that could still manage to control himself around you, however, made him stand his ground. As stunning as you looked, the weather outside was just too cold for you to wear only a dress.
âAs you can see,â he wiggled the piece of clothing in his hands. âI am notâ.
âYou really expect me to wear that?â You raised a questioning eyebrow.
âUnless you want to go get a puffer jacket of your own, yesâ.
Rolling your eyes, you took a step outside your apartment and closed the door behind you, sliding your purse down your arm before you took his coat from him. âWhatever, Iâm taking it off as soon as I enter the restaurant anywayâ.
Holding your purse for you while you put the jacket on, Hyunjin couldnât help but smile at the sight in front. You wearing his clothes made him feel something he had not quite felt before, and he could only rejoice in it and take it one step further by zipping the jacket up until it was covering your chin.
âI look ridiculousâ you stated.
âYou look cuteâ he reassured you, handing you your bag.
âYou look handsome though, and Iâm not matching your vibe anymoreâ you fought him once more, completely unaware of the power your first statement had over him.
Having to clear his throat in order to conceive the butterflies in his stomach, he gestured to the stairs, so you would start walking towards them.
âLetâs goâ he said. âYou can match my vibe when you take it off at dinnerâ.
The moment you stepped a foot outside, you were thankful that he forced you to wear it, but he wouldnât catch you admitting it out loud, of course. Not like he needed you to anyway, for one look at you and the way you were hugging yourself while you waited for the taxi he called to pull over, was enough for him to smile proudly to himself.
And then, when you arrived to the restaurant and you didnât immediately take it off like you claimed you would, he knew youâd found comfort in the warmth it was providing you with.
One of his friends spotted him from their table and waved at him, catching his attention, and only then, when you were walking towards a group of at least ten people, you began to feel nervous. It only intensified when you reached them and all their eyes focused on both of you.
Greeting everyone with a small bow, you walked around the table after Hyunjin motioned for you to go before him.
Thankfully, Han and Minho had saved two seats in between them, so youâd end up sitting in between Hyunjin and either one of them instead of next to any of their other friends you didnât know.
As soon as you reached the empty seats, you threw Hyunjin a taunting smile.
âMay I take this off now?â You motioned at the jacket he made you wear.
Hyunjin laughed, nodding his head and reaching out to help you slide it off your arms. âYouâre putting it back on as soon as weâre done here, thoughâ.
You visibly rolled your eyes at him, earning another light laugh of his as he placed it on the chair in front of him, and then pulled it out for you to sit down. It took you a second to get it, only doing so when his eyes met yours and he nodded his head towards the seat for you to sit down on.
You smiled sweetly, doing as told and then quietly thanking him when he took a seat next to you.
You realised then that, much to your relief, you had already been introduced to most of the people in there, thanks to that one birthday party they threw Hyunjin a few years ago, and some others you had seen on two or three of his social media posts.
The only new faces were two guys sitting by the left and a brunette sitting in front of you, right next to Haeun, a really nice girl you remembered talking to back at Hyunjinâs surprise party.
âDid you guys order already?â Hyunjin asked.
âNot yet,â Minho replied, handing him the menu. âBut we already know what weâre ordering, so you better make up your mind fastâ.
Chuckling under his breath, Hyunjin placed the menu in front of the two of you while his friends called the waiter to start ordering, so you could check out your options.
âWould it be too basic of me to just order tteokbokki?â You mumbled for only him to hear, still staring at the menu after having gone through everything in it. âAlthough donkatsu does sound really good right nowâ.
âThe donkatsu here is amazing so I had that in mind, but now Iâm torn between tteokbokki as wellâ he confessed with a breathy laugh, earning a chuckle from you.
âShould we order both and share them?â You proposed, looking up to him and watching a bright smile show on his face.
âYeah, letâs do thatâ.
Sitting up straight right as everyone else was done ordering, Hyunjin handed the menu back to the waiter and proceeded to order what the two of you agreed on.
As soon as the waiter left, you felt all eyes fall on the two of you.
âSo when were you telling us you got yourself a girlfriend?â One the guys you had never seen before asked him right away.
Hyunjin almost choked on air, feeling his face heat up while everyone stared at the two of you and you looked nearly frozen over that question.
âIâm notâŠâ you began, looking over at Hyunjin as you didnât really know what else to say.
âSheâs Yejiâs best friendâ Hyunjin finished your point.
âOh? You guys must be very close then for you to bring her without your sisterâ Jihoo, if you remembered the name correctly, asked this time with a teasing smirk.
âYejiâs out of town and Hyunie didnât want me to spend new yearâs eve aloneâ you explained.
âYeah, I can tell you guys arenât that closeâ the girl next to Haeun stated, her eyes going from you to Hyunjin. âHyunjin hates being called Hyunieâ.
âWe are close, thoughâ Hyunjin corrected her in a heartbeat. Had she not just seen you arrive together while you wore his jacket? âShe can call me whatever she wantsâ.
Your head turned to Han next to you, who couldnât hold back a snort and ended up choking on his water.
âOh, so heâs like a little brother to you?â She asked you directly this time, and you managed to catch the not very subtle nudge Haeun gave her to shut up. âIs that why you call him that?â
âCan we talk about something else?â Han spoke before you could answer, having managed to catch his breath surprisingly fast. âHyunjinâs love life has never been that interesting anywayâ.
Although earning himself a smack from Hyunjin, it was enough to make the whole table laugh and move on to another topic â one that didnât have to do with your and Hyunjinâs relationship status, and one that would definitely not end up with you possibly confirming to him that you saw him as a little brother. He really had to thank Han for that one.
The rest of the dinner went smoothly. Hyunjinâs friends were a lot of fun, you soon realised, to the point you found yourself laughing so much that you were able to ignore the nasty looks the girl in front of you âwhose name you later found out was Dahyeâ would give you anytime you interacted with Hyunjin; which, considering he was sitting next to you and on top of that he was sharing dishes with you, were a lot.
It wouldnât take a genius to understand that she was into Hyunjin and that it might be a problem that night given he had arrived with you, but you had more important things to care about rather than to pay attention to her anyway, like making sure youâd get along with Hyunjinâs friends so he wouldnât feel like he had to check up on you to see if you were having fun every five minutes, and later that night racing him to pay for the check, only to be beaten by him.
The proud smirk that curved up his mouth while he paid for dinner was enough for you to peacefully accept your defeat and forget about the girl glaring at you from the side.
-â-â-â-â-â-â-â-âĄ
By the time you made it to the club, which was only three streets away from the restaurant, as Hyunjinâs group had deliberately chosen one of the most popular areas not to need another car to get you there, it was already filled with people â the queue to enter being quite long, yet moving surprisingly fast.
Hyunjin found himself unconsciously tugging at the sleeve of your âhisâ jacket as soon as you made it inside, standing right behind you not to lose you in the crowd of people as you made your way past them. And it only hit him how close you were when you turned your head to him and your nose nearly brushed against his mouth.
âWe should find the coat checkâ you said, coming closer to his ear for him to be able to hear you over the loud music.
He nodded, gulping hard before the two of you stood there looking around the place. When you found it not too far from where you were standing, you pointed at it, feeling Hyunjin nod behind you and telling something to one of his friends before taking off â although inaudible, you guessed it had to do with something along the lines of coming back to them right away.
âYou know, this wouldnât have been necessary if youâd just let me come without a coatâ you taunted once on the desk, beginning to take it off.
Hyunjin chuckled, shaking his head while he took his jacket off as well, as it was way hotter than heâd expected inside the club. Much to your surprise, the black shirt he was wearing underneath, and which you had supposed was long-sleeved, was not. His biceps were fully displayed as he reached for your purse and the puffer jacket you were trying to fold, and you couldnât help but stare while he handed the three items to the person behind the desk.
Putting the claim ticket inside his pantsâ pocket, his eyes focused back on you, smiling shyly when he caught you staring.
âAnd then Iâm the one whoâs not appropriately dressed for the weather?â You raised a questioning eyebrow.
His previous shy smile turned into a smirk, gently turning you around and placing his hands on your bare shoulders so he could lead you through the crowd towards your group. âI was wearing a jacketâ.
âItâs so not the same?â You turned your face to him once again, and he swore your unannounced proximity would be the end of him.
âI care about you not getting a cold, shouldnât you be saying thank you?â He argued, pulling you closer to him when you almost bumped into someone.
âI looked ridiculousâ you stated.
He begged to differ, you looked adorable. He would lend you his clothes every time he could, even if you werenât being stubborn and didnât really need him to at all.
âBesides, who says I donât care about you catching a cold either?â
âI didnât see you bringing me a jacket though?â He questioningly tilted his head.
You rolled your eyes. âYou can wear the one you brought me once we leave. Iâll wear your other oneâ.
Hyunjin laughed under his breath, thankful for the loud music and bad lighting that allowed him to hide just how flustered he was over the simple thought of you leaving the club wearing the jacket he had come with. Sure, you came in wearing his puffer jacket, but there was something about everyone else seeing you leave in the jacket he was previously wearing, that sent butterflies flying all over his stomach.
âIâll think about itâ he tried to play it cool, earning a triumphant smile from you.
Seeing Han wave towards the two of you from near the bar, Hyunjin tightened his hold on your shoulders, redirecting your body in said direction before you saw him as well. Getting closer to the group, the two of you smiled in relief when you noticed they had managed to take over a booth.
âWhereâs the rest?â He asked Han, realising only half of the group was there.
Jisung shrugged. âSome went to get drinks, some are dancingâ.
Hyunjin gave him a quick nod before turning back to you. âIâll go get us drinksâ he informed you. âCranberry vodka is it? Or do you want something else?â
âCranberry vodka is perfectâ you smiled, finding it the sweetest how he remembered such a small detail like your drink of choice. âShould I go with you?â
He shook his head no, motioning for you to take a seat. âItâs okay, Iâll be right backâ.
You gave him a smile, nodding for him to go and watching him and Han disappear into the crowd before you sat down, sliding towards the empty spot next to Minho, who was already enjoying his drink.
âHaving fun so far?â He tried to initiate small talk.
Your eyebrows furrowed, leaning slightly closer to him, as you had not been able to hear him. âWhat?â
âAre you having fun?â He spoke over the music.
You nodded, a smile curving up your lips. âYeah, you guys are fun. Although Iâve mostly been glued to Hyunie all night, which must be annoyingâ.
Minho chuckled, shaking his head in amusement. If you only knew, you being stuck to him was all Hyunjin ever wanted.
âNah, heâs okay with itâ he reassured you. âHe was really excited about you joining usâ.
Your smile brightened, feeling like a weight had just been lifted off your shoulders. âThatâs good to knowâŠâ you mumbled more to yourself.
âHey, weâre going to dance!â Haeun caught your attention from the other side of the booth, gesturing to herself and another girl next to her. âYou wanna come?â
You politely denied with a smile. âIâm waiting for Hyunjin, maybe later!â
They both smiled back at you, standing up and rushing towards the rest of the group.
âArenât you joining the rest over there?â You asked Minho, catching on the way he was looking at them as well.
âProbably will once the alcohol hitsâ he confessed with a small smirk, getting a light laugh from you.
âOh, so youâre into Minho thenâ a female voice spoke loudly from right behind you.
Turning around, you were met with Dahye, who was now sitting down next to you and staring at you with what you could recognize as a cynical smile.
Now, you didnât have a problem with her so far, but the way it was becoming a habit of hers to make assumptions about your relationships with people was really beginning to annoy you.
âWhat?â You raised an eyebrow.
âYouâre not into Hyunjin but into Minhoâ she took a sip of her drink. âIâve got nothing to worry about thenâ.
âIâm not into anyoneâ you clarified.
âGood, because Hyunjin and I have a thing going on, so itâd be really messed up for you to come in betweenâ she mindlessly played with the straw. âNot like heâd pay attention to you anyway, you seem way too mature and heâs into girls more his age, like meâ.
Before you could reply, a very loud scoff was heard from Minho.
âIs bullshit all that ever comes out of your mouth?â He practically yelled over the music, getting dumbfounded looks from the rest of his friends in the booth.
Her mouth remained shut, shrugging ever so nonchalantly before she took another sip of liquor. Minho rolled his eyes, standing up and motioning for you to slide to his previous seat, so he could take your place instead and keep Dahye from interacting with you anymore.
âDonât listen to her, sheâs just jealousâ he leaned in to say in more of a whisper.
Choosing to say nothing and to just let it slip, you nodded understandingly. In all honesty, though, you hardly understood what was going on.
Minho said that she was jealous, and you got that, it was clear that she had a thing for Hyunjin and it mustâve sucked to see him arrive with someone else. You knew you wouldâve felt the same had you been in her shoes. But you had already explained that you were Hyunjinâs sisterâs best friend, and that the only reason he invited you was because she was out of town. On top of that, you had also just made it known that you werenât interested in anyone â not Hyunjin, not Minho, not any of their friends at all. So why wouldnât she just drop it?
You disliked the way she was handling the whole situation, but you tried to understand her. The side of you that knew what it felt like to have feelings for someone and fear they were into someone else, tried its best to sympathize with her.
You were pulled out of your thoughts when Hyunjin arrived, loudly announcing that Han had stayed back and joined the rest of the group on the dance floor.
His previous smile faltered and his eyebrows furrowed when he realised that not only had Dahye joined your side of the booth, but also that you and Minho had switched places. One single look at his very annoyed friend, however, was enough for him to guess the whole picture.
Just as you had done a minute ago, he decided to say nothing, instead handing you your drink and smiling when you thanked him and squeezed up against Jihoo next to you, to make some space for him.
âEverything alright?â He asked, unable to hide his worry.
âMhmâŠâ you took a sip of your drink. âApparently Iâm into Minho nowâ.
âWait, what?â
Minho nudged him to catch his attention before he could fully panic. âThatâs what your admirer accused her ofâ.
Hyunjin rolled his eyes. That was one hell of a jump scare you just gave him.
âWhyâd she think that anyway?â
âWe were just talking and I guess we got too close since we couldnât hear each otherâ you explained, chuckling to yourself when you realised you were just as close to Hyunjin now. âJust like we are now, she must be back to thinking Iâm into youâ.
Now, that was something he could deal with; Dahye âor anyone else for that matterâ believing you were into him. That simple thought made him happy enough to let it slide just how close you had apparently been to his friend minutes ago.
A bright smile parted his lips, trying to play it cool by taking a sip of his drink, only for it to be erased the moment Dahye called him from next to Minho.
âHyunjin, letâs go dance?â
He shook his head no. âIâm fine, thanksâ.
âYah,â you whispered-shouted, gently nudging him, which earned you a confused look by him. âGo have funâ.
âI am having fun,â he brought his drink up to his lips. âRight hereâ.
âAw, come onâ she insisted, reaching over Minho to hold Hyunjinâs wrist â needless to say, it took him less than a second to snatch his hand away. âYou can still enjoy your drink on the dance floorâ.
Not giving her an answer, his eyes fixed on you, and for some reason that was all it took for you to get it all wrong â because the scene you were seeing in front of you was the one of a girl who was head over heels for Hyunjin, trying her best to spend some time with him, and a very troubled Hyunjin who didnât want to leave you alone. After all, he had invited you to join him and his friends that night, therefore, it was only rational that heâd think of it as rude to leave you all alone to go dance with someone else. Or so you thought.
So, not wanting to be the one holding him back, you did the most reasonable thing you could come up with in that moment: show him you could have fun on your own and he didnât need to be glued to you making sure you were.
âMinho, you wanna dance?â
Not only did Minhoâs head snap in your direction, but so did Hyunjinâs.
âMe?â He asked, taken aback as ever.
âYeahâ you smiled, already getting up to get out of the booth. âWe can join Han and the restâ.
Feeling like a deer caught in the headlights, Minhoâs first instinct was to look at Hyunjin, hopelessly looking for approval. Hyunjin, on the other hand, was too busy staring up at you to even notice his friendâs cry for help.
When he invited you to join them that night, he had completely overlooked the fact that you could end up bonding with someone else. He was blinded by the idea of him being the closest to you and therefore you not leaving his side, which was only intensified considering youâd been stuck together all night, but now you were asking Minho to dance with you instead of him, and he realised he had only played himself.
âCome onnn, the alcohol must be hitting at least a little bit by nowâ you teased him for his previous statement, motioning towards the dance floor.
âI mean, y-yes, sureâ Minho stuttered, and only then, hearing his answer, Hyunjinâs glaring eyes fixed on him. âMaybe we could all go?â
His suggestion managed to calm Hyunjin down. Sure, he hated how Dahye was being included and how sheâd most definitely end up dancing with him since you had asked Minho to, but it was the best his friend could do given the circumstances, and he was thankful for it.
âYeah, letâs goâ Hyunjin agreed, standing up as well and, much to his disappointment, being followed by a very happy Dahye.
He had definitely played himself.
-â-â-â-â-â-â-â-â-âĄ
Although your plan had partially failed, given you werenât able to leave Hyunjin and Dahye alone, you were still decided to make the most of it and have a good time.
Nevertheless, roughly twenty minutes on the dance floor were enough for you to realise that having fun and ignoring Dahyeâs behaviour towards you wouldnât be as easy as it was during dinner. Because, although you did dance with Minho at first and she got to be with Hyunjin for a while, it only took a few minutes for the whole group to get together and end up goofily dancing around in a messy circle.
Hyunjin naturally gravitated towards you, and so did you towards him, for at the end of the day he was the one you came with and the one you wanted to be with the most, but every time he tried to talk to you over the music or just get closer to you for the sake of it, the girl next to him would try to draw his attention back to her.
You didnât know whether to be annoyed or to feel bad for her, finding yourself acting oblivious to her poor attempts most of the time. It wasnât your business anyway, but something she and Hyunjin had to figure out.
Even then, when she tugged at Hyunjinâs arm to pull him to her when you tried to come close to his ear in order to say something to him, you realised you had enough of this one-sided battle.
Gently grabbing his wrist right after he pulled away from her grasp and Haeun came to the rescue by making Dahye dance with her instead, you looked at the time on his watch. It was only a little past eleven, and you decided that was good enough for you to go back home.
Placing a hand on his shoulder and motioning for him to lean down so you could speak closer to his ear like you had previously tried to, you stood on your tiptoes to meet him halfway. âCan you hand me the claim ticket to go get my bag? Iâll bring it back before leavingâ.
His eyebrows furrowed. âYou wanna leave?â
You nodded. âYeah, but you stay here. Iâll call a taxi, you donât need to come with meâ.
âIs something wrong?â He couldnât help but ask.
âNo, butââ you were cut off by a guy dancing behind you bumping into you. Your first instinct was to laugh it off, and Hyunjinâs was to pull you to him.
âLetâs go get our things and talk outsideâ he raised his voice over the music once again. âItâs too chaotic in hereâ.
You simply nodded, deciding to look past the fact that he was getting his jacket as well, and wanting to believe it only had to do with him going outside until you left and not wanting to freeze in the meantime.
Once on the street, you were thankful to breathe in some fresh air, even if it was cold as hell compared to how it was inside the club. Hyunjin ended up going against his fantasy of seeing you in the jacket he had arrived in, and giving you his puffer coat once again instead. You were far done complaining by now anyway, for it was doing wonders to keep you warm.
âIs the taxi coming?â He asked, shoving his phone into his pocket after letting his friends know you were leaving.
âMhmâŠâ you nodded, looking up from your phone and catching the way he was rubbing his hands together and blowing some hot breath in them. âShould be here in the next five minutesâ.
âItâs not even midnight yet, thoughâŠâ he pointed out. âWhat happened?â
âNothing happened, really, I justâŠâ you shrugged, a shy smile curving up your lips. âAm I allowed to say it?â
âSay what?â He wondered.
âI feel like Iâm cockblocking youâ.
âWhat?â To say he was astonished was an understatement. âCockblocking me? You?â
âYeah, with Dahyeâ.
âWith Dahye?!â
You laughed, shaking your head as you looked down at your phone, seeing the taxi be only four minutes away now.
âHave I not made it clear enough that I donât like her?â
âBut you could if you werenât so closed off to give her a chanceâ you smiled. âI feel like Iâm keeping you from getting a midnight kiss and maybe even more by being here because youâre kind of obliged to stick with me, or maybe you feel uncomfortable with me seeing that side of you because Iâm Yejiâs friend and I could snitch on you or somethingâ.
Hyunjin blinked rapidly, trying to take in the nonsense that had just come out of your mouth.
âIâm not obliged to, I want to be with youâ he clarified. âAnd I couldnât care less about you snitching on me to Yeji, Iâve got lots of shit on her anyway. Thatâs not it at allâ.
âBut sheââ
âI donât know what makes you think I want to kiss Dahye at midnight or whatever, because Iâjust,â he sighed. âItâs kind of a long storyâ.
âUgh, just when my taxiâs almost here,â you whined, looking up from your phone and to the street. âYou can go back inside, but Iâm very intrigued now so maybe we can catch up later?â
âNo, Iâm leaving with youâ.
âI can leave alone, though. You donât have to worry about me, HyunâŠjin? Hyun?â Your eyebrows furrowed, pensively. âIs Hyun okay? Should I stick to Hyunjin?â
âWhat?â
âDahye said you hate being called Hyunie,â you reminded him. âIâve been calling you that all these years, Iâm sorryâ.
âY/N, no. Please donât,â he sighed heavily, throwing his head back as he felt like pulling his hair out. âDonât listen to anything she saysâ.
âButââ
âBut nothing, she knows nothingâ he cut you off. âI only hate it when she calls me that. Iâve told her multiple times not toâ.
âAre you sure?â You hesitated.
He nodded, coming closer to you. âLike I told her earlier tonight, you can call me whatever you wantâ.
âEven if itâs something ridiculous like pudding?â You smirked, and he snorted, shaking his head in disbelief.
âWho are you, Harley Quinn?â
âDonât test me, I will come up with something embarrassing to call you in front of your friendsâ.
Before he could bite back, your taxi pulled over in front of you.
âYou should go back to them nowâ you motioned towards the club, walking towards the car.
âI donât want you to welcome the new year alone, thoughâ he followed hot on your heels.
You smiled sweetly. âTrust me, you did more than enough for me tonight. I had a lot of fun thanks to you, Hyunie, you donât need to worry about me at allâ.
He smiled softly, loving that you were back to calling him that.
âWould it change anything if I said I want to be with you at midnight?â
âPossiblyâŠâ you felt your face heat up. âBut I want you to have fun with your friendsâ.
âOkay then, how about this,â he began, knowing he didnât have much time to negotiate right then and opening the door for you. âI leave with you now, we spend the countdown together, and then I come back here afterwardsâ.
Pondering your choices for a quick second, and knowing he was just as obstinate as you, you gave in.
âOkay,â you smiled, entering the car for once and for all. âI expect you at my door ready to come back here as soon as midnight hits, thoughâ.
-â-â-â-â-â-â-â-â-âĄ
You made it back to your place barely twenty minutes before midnight.
You were relieved to be able to take off your heels, rushing to set the coffee table in your living room the best you could with what you had at home â that being a few snacks and a bottle of white wine, as your original plan before Hyunjin invited you to spend new yearâs eve with him was to eat and drink alone while watching TV and scrolling through your phone.
He tried to help you set everything up, but you were adamant on him relaxing on your couch while you took care of it. After all, he was the one to treat you all night, now it was your time to take care of him.
Once everything was done, and Hyunjin was quietly switching channels to find one covering the new yearâs celebration not to miss the countdown, you excused yourself to quickly change into something more comfortable, since, unlike him, you werenât going out again.
âHow long until midnight?â You asked, fixing your hair while you re-entered the living room in a dark blue sleepwear.
âTwelve minutesâ he announced, gesturing towards the TV.
âI was afraid we wouldnât make itâ you confessed, earning a laugh from him as you slumped on the couch.
âGood thing the club wasnât that far from your placeâ Hyunjin chuckled, handing you a glass of the wine he opened while you changed in your room.
âHonestly I didnât care about missing the countdown, but then you came here with me and I was afraid Iâd make you miss itâ.
âWorst case scenario, we celebrated in the taxiâ he shrugged.
âAs opposed to you getting to be all hyped up spending it with your friends at the club?â You questioned, then shaking your head in denial. âI wouldâve felt so badâ.
He chuckled, taking a sip of wine. âI wouldnât have mindedâ.
âNo, but Iâm sorry I felt like leaving earlierâ you pouted. âWe shouldâve just gone back insideâ.
âThe taxi was already there,â he pointed out. âAnd in all honesty I wouldnât have made you go back there when I knew you were uncomfortable. Dahye kinda ruined it for me too anywayâ.
âRightâŠâ you mumbled. âSo what is it with her?â
He sighed heavily, making you laugh over how stressed out he seemed just by thinking of it.
âOkay so first of all, sheâs not even part of our friend groupâ he began. âSheâs Haeunâs cousin and she always manages to get her to invite her to our hangouts, which is really annoying since she isnât friends with most of usâ.
âYou invited me, though?â
âItâs differentâ he argued. âYouâre nothing like her, and my friends really like youâ.
âShe doesnât seem that bad?â You tried to reason, and the glare you got from him was enough to let you know she was. âDonât give me that look, she looked pretty nice to everyone but meâ.
âYeah, thatâsâŠâ he sighed again. âSheâs had a thing for me for like two years now, and I made the awful mistake of kissing her when I got wasted one night after breaking up with Seoyun and now she wonât leave me aloneâ.
âHold on, hold on, hold onâ you sat up straight, leaving your glass on the coffee table to focus on him entirely. âYou kissed her?! Seoyun? Whoâs Seoyun?â
And then it hit him, how you never really knew about his first girlfriend. Because you werenât as close back then.
Somehow, spending these past three days with you made your fall-out feel minuscule, like youâd only spent a couple of months apart at most. It was only then that he got a reality check and got hit by the fact that you had missed almost four years of each otherâs life.
Although you kept in touch as much as you could, he now realised how superficial your conversations and interactions had remained.
âRight,â he laughed nervously. âUm, she was my girlfriend. And yes, I kissed DahyeâŠâ
âAnd now youâre surprised that sheâs obsessed with you?â
He snorted, pinching the bridge of his nose as he lamented. âI was drunk. Wasted, actually. I wouldnât even remember if it werenât for the fact that Han and Minho wonât let me live it downâ.
You chuckled, imagining just how much shit they mustâve given him for it. âIt was only a one time thing then?â
âYeah, I think it was like the second time we saw each other, didnât know how pushy she was back thenâ he ran a hand through his hair. âBut then after that night she expected more and I explained to her that I was drunk as hell and I tend to get really touchy in that state and that it meant nothing to meââ
âOuch?â
âI sugarcoated it, okay?â He squinted his eyes at you. âBut sheâs been very insistent since then and Iâve told her so many times that I want nothing to do with her, that I⊠I donât know, my patience ran out, I canât really be nice about it anymoreâ.
âI get itâŠâ you mumbled, staring to your lap. âIt must be really annoying that she wonât take no for an answer after all these years. Sorry I tried to set you up with her in a way, I didnât knowâ.
Hyunjin smiled, loving how easy it was to talk to you â how you never really judged him, but tried to understand him and his choices instead.
âItâs okayâŠâ he mumbled as well. âJust please donât try to leave me alone with her again, I said I wanted to stay with you back thenâ.
âYou didnât really say thatâ you argued with a smirk, having him shake his head and bring his cup to his mouth. âBut I know better now, wonât do it againâ.
âThank youâ he sighed in relief, and you giggled, reaching for your glass and taking a small sip of wine before you looked at him again.
âYou said it was after you broke up with⊠Sooyun?â
âSeoyunâ he corrected. âYesâ.
âI only knew about Nara. Was this before her?â You tilted your head.
âYeah, a few months before herâ he explained. âSeoyun and I dated for like three months by the end of 2021, then that thing with Dahye happened, and then I dated Nara in like middle 2022. Thatâs pretty much the timelineâ.
âAnd Iâm hoping Dahye stopped insisting when you got together with Nara?â
âAs ifâ he scoffed. âNara couldnât stand her. Itâs good that she doesnât have my number and the only times we interact are when she tags along in our hangouts, otherwise it wouldâve been so much worse than it wasâ.
âNext time you get a girlfriend, I say you block her on every social mediaâ.
âIâll block her on everything if you do the same with Mingyuâ he playfully held his pinky up for you to seal the promise.
What he got instead, was a throaty laugh coming out of your mouth as you lightly slapped his hand away. âYouâre an idiotâ.
âI think itâs pretty reasonable, though?â
âWeâll seeâ you played along. âYou need to get a girlfriend first in order for me to follow throughâ.
âI can block her right now, I donât careâ he stated, taking his phone out of his pocket.
âStop!â You laughed, stopping him from unlocking it. âThereâs no really need to just yetâ.
Rolling his eyes, he let his phone fall on the couch. âYouâre no funâ.
You chuckled, taking another sip as the living room fell silent and your mind went through everything you had just talked about. You surely had missed a lot.
You had missed him a lot.
âI canât believe I never knew about SeoyunâŠâ
âI mean, not even my sister knew back then, it wasnât that seriousâŠâ he swirled the drink in his hand. âAnd we didnât really talk that much anymore back then, soâŠâ
âYeah⊠sorry about thatâ you smiled bittersweetly. âIt was my fault we drifted away. Iâm sorry, Hyunieâ.
âWhat do you mean it was your fault?â His eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
You shifted in your seat uncomfortably. âMingyu didnât like me having guy friends. Girl friends he was fine with up to a certain extent, but he just⊠was a little possessiveâ
He felt his blood boil. âYou never told me thatâ.
âLike you said, we didnât really talk much back then anymoreâ you smiled weakly. âBut yeah, I didnât see it as a problem because I was so in love with him that it made me feel good to know that he wanted me all to himself, as idiotic as it sounds, so I ended up pulling away from most of my friends. Chan was the only guy friend I kept throughout our relationship, mainly because heâs been my best friend since high school. Mingyu still was a bit wary at first but Chanâs where I drew the lineâ.
âCouldnât you have drawn the line with me, too?â
Hyunjin tried to make his words come off as a lighthearted joke, but the weak tone in his voice and the hurt look in his eyes let you know he was serious, regardless of the smile adorning his mouth.
âI tried, Hyunie. I really triedâ you confessed.
âYou did?â His eyes softened.
âMhmâŠâ you ran a hand through your hair. âYou mean a lot to me, I loved the way our friendship was back then, but Mingyu just had this⊠he was convinced you had a thing for me, and he would go on and on about itâ.
Oh.
âThen again, according to him everyone had a thing for meâ you rolled your eyes at the memory. âSo please donât take it to heart, I know you didnât and it was all in his mind. I tried to reason with him plenty of times, but he just wouldnât listenâ.
âI understandâŠâ he mumbled. âItâs okayâŠâ
All this time, he thought he had made a good job at hiding his feelings for you. Apparently not.
Of course they would be obvious as hell to the one other person who was in love with you back then.
He hated to admit it, but he could see where Mingyu was coming from; at least when it came to him. He couldâve handled it better for sure, but he knew that if he was in Mingyuâs shoes and he knew you were close with someone who had a thing for you, he wouldnât like it either.
âI wish I hadnât pushed everyone away because of himâŠâ you lamented.
âAt least you still have Yeji and Chanâ he tried to cheer you up.
âYeah, but now I feel like a third wheel most of the timeâ you confessed rather bitterly. âItâs not their fault at all, and they do make me feel included, but thatâs just how I feel. It was great before because there were four of us, but now itâs just me and ughâ.
Watching you throw your head back in exasperation, he bit his lip, staring into his glass as he debated on whether to say the words that were dancing on the tip of his tongue.
âMaybe we couldâŠâ
Your head snapped back to him, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
âMaybe we could what?â You wondered when he wouldnât.
âMaybe we could take up where we left off?â
âWhere we left off?â
âYeah, you know⊠I mean, I hope it wasnât only me, but I feel like we were really close back then? Before he came into the pictureâ he explained, feeling nervous as ever under your piercing stare. âLike, weâd text everyday, weâd see each other quite often too⊠we didnât have to rely on Yeji to interact, and⊠if youâre up for it, I would like to go back to thatâ.
All nervousness washed away when you smiled.
Nodding your head softly, you couldnât help the small giggle that escaped your mouth, making the pace of his heartbeats skyrocket.
âI would really love thatâ.
âYou would?â He asked breathily.
âMhmâŠâ you reassured him. âI donât know if you missed the part where I said you mean a lot to me, but Iâd love for us to be close againâ.
Hyunjin smiled shyly, lowering his head and begging his cheeks not to give away the beautiful mess he was feeling inside.
As if saved by the bell, your eyes went to the TV for a second, and only that took for you to jump in your place and gesture for him to take a look as well.
Fifteen seconds until midnight.
Fourteen.
Thirteen.
âTwelve minutes already?â You asked, dumbfoundedly looking at him.
Hyunjin laughed. Had you not looked at the TV in that moment, you would probably have continued talking into the next year without noticing.
Ten.
Nine.
âTo pick up where we left off?â He offered a small toast, raising his glass.
Six.
You chuckled, happily nodding your head before raising your glass as well. âTo pick up where we left offâ.
Three. You counted together.
Two.
One.
Clinking your glasses together, the two of you gave it a poor attempt at cheering, resulting in both of you laughing as you leaned in for a comfortable hug.
âHappy new year, Hyunieâ you cooed, resting your chin on his shoulder.
He smiled softly, mimicking your small action and gently rubbing his thumbs up and down your sides. âHappy new year, Y/Nâ.
Starting the new year together and with the promise of becoming close again, could only make the two of you excited, hopeful even, for what was to come.
Needless to say, he was not going back to the club after midnight.

PART ONE I PART NINE | PART ELEVEN | NAVIGATION
Michael lets out a deep exhale once he finally hears the door to [Y/n]'s room clicked as he closes it. He was beyond worried when he heard the news of what happened to her. He blamed himself for being the cause of her passing out, if only he didn't send her down there then she would've been fine.
Michael leans against [Y/n]'s door, running a hand through his soft blond locks, eyes closed as he sighs.
Unaware of the approaching dark haired taller male.
Azrael's eyebrow raised as he noticed the blond man scrunched against [Y/n]'s door, seemingly in deep thought.
Azrael heard what happened and he immediately rushed back to heaven after his work, he was worried sick for the woman.
He sighs, although he didn't show it. His charming and mischievous face remains unchanged as he approaches the door.
âMichael, didn't expect to see you today.â Azrael says, his usual teasing and sultry voice catching Michael's attention.
Michael's head raised upâpreviously hung lowâto look at the source of the voice, only to see Azrael in his deathly glory.
âI heard what happened so I immediately came here to check up on her, especially knowing she went down there and possibly saw him.â Michael explained and Azrael fought back the urge to roll his eyes at the man.
âStill wondering why you chose her to go down there, I was willing to take the load off her shoulders.â
Michael sighs, running a hand through his light blond hair, he doesn't get paid enough for this.
âI know and I suggested it to her right? To do the rock-paper-scissors game again after she lost but she was determined to take the case and I needed to respect that, she was fully prepared to go down there.â Michael explained, exhaustion evident on his voice. He was confused too, worried even. He can only believe God's words, the man sees everythingâthe past, present, and future.
He can only trust his judgement despite how it pains him to see [Y/n] suffer.
Azrael sighs, stuffing both of his hands in the pocket of his pants. Decided not to further question the man and possibly aggravate both of them.
Fights between Virtues are close to non-existent, but never zero. Arguments can be dangerous for powerful heavenly beings such as themselves.
âI shall not question you further, I'll hand you my reports later this evening so for now, excuse me.â Azrael says with a sigh, walking past Michael as he knocked on [Y/n]'s door before entering.
The door closed with a click. Michael was alone in that hallway after, with a sigh and finally drooping his heavy shoulders, he walked away.
For someone to be God's right hand man, he doesn't know anything. He has no choice but to place his trust in their heavenly father.
Who is currently away to a place they don't know.
âWhat a mess,â Michael thought to himself, the worried expression on his face disappearing as it was replaced with his usual cold and aloof facial expression that he is known for, shoulders straightening up, his footsteps fading as he disappeared from the hallway.
[Y/n] was blankly staring at the ceiling as she was lying down on her bed, seemingly lost in thought.
Azrael sighs, heels clicking as he walks towards her bed, [Y/n] shifted her head to look at the sound of the noise just to see Azrael, sitting on the empty spot of the side of her bed.
She gave him a weak and tired smile.
âAre you alright? I heard what happened,â Azrael muttered, a worried look on his face, âWhat did I tell you about pushing yourself to the limit?â
âThe audacity to say that to me with your nonexistent sleep scheduleââ [Y/n] says with a teasing tone but got playfully smacked by a pillow by none other than Azrael.
âI am death, I do not need sleep.â
Azrael says with a small pout, returning back the pillow to where he got it from, crossing his arms and crossing his long and slender legs.
[Y/n] chuckled softly, moving her position to sit on the bed instead of lying down.
âI mean... You looked like death.â She says, Azrael raises his eyebrow at her.
âI don't know why but I feel offended by that statementââ
[Y/n] stares at him, almost a deadpan looking the man up and down, âCome on... You know what I mean.â
âIt's the bags underneath my eyes isn't it?â he asked, deadpanning at her, âMichael has it worse, stop attacking me.â
Azrael sighs, sometimes he forgets how difficult she is.
âDear father, give me the strength not to end her myself. I'm just kidding, I didn't mean to say thatââ
He thought to himself, letting out a long exhale as he saw the teasing grin on the girl's face.
âYou're trying to distract me.â he says, eyes narrowing into a deadpan, his lips still in a pout.
âIs it working?â [Y/n] asked with a playful tone, eyebrow raised teasingly at the male.
âUnfortunately.â he sighs, running a hand through his hair, long and slender fingers weaving through the dark black locks in slight frustration.
Whenever he's with her, he sighs a lot. That's something he noticed a long time ago.
The heart palpitations he gets whenever she's near might've not been because of attraction, it's probably because of stress.
She stresses him out.
Okay, just a little bit.
Azrael sighs once more, [Y/n] resisting herself to burst out into laughter, âThat's the sixth time you've sighed.â She points out, Azrael deadpans at her.
âThank you for keeping count, I really appreciate it.â He says, playful sarcasm dripping from his voice.
âYou're welcome, death.â She says, it was enough for both of them to burst into chuckles.
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock was heard from her door, catching both of them off guard.
The door opens. A long dark blue haired woman can be seen standing by the door. Her hair tied into a ponytail yet her hair still reaches her waist. A serious look on her face.
Gabriel is here.
âOh shit.â Azrael thought to himself, a shiver running down his back.
The room suddenly felt colder with the woman's presence. Something that often happens whenever Gabriel is in the room.
âGabriel... Hiââ [Y/n] says nervously, getting cut off.
âSave it Raphael, Azrael please leave.â Gabriel says, voice dripping with icy coldness.
Gabriel, known as God's messenger; she handles reports that are needed to be passed around between realms.
It is natural that the news of Raphael collapsing would immediately reach her.
She can never understand what [Y/n] sees in Lucifer, sure she can see the vision but after what happened and what he did to [Y/n].
She gets the ick.
When the meeting about Sera and Adam's actions were held and the meeting also included about this 'Hazbin Hotel proposed by none other than Lucifer's daughter.
Someone needs to oversee it.
Unfortunately, [Y/n] lost the game that decides that.
The other members thought it was a bad idea but [Y/n] insists, saying that it's fair.
She doesn't want them to baby her. She wants to prove to them that she's okay.
Gabriel was beyond worried, [Y/n] is like a little sister to her despite their ages being so close to each other.
She trusts [Y/n], she can't trust Lucifer.
She couldn't trust the man who abandoned his wife for another woman.
Especially when she learned that Lilith left Lucifer.
It made Gabriel smile when she found out.
Qui totum vult totum perdit, as she always says.
Which translates to, âhe who wants everything, loses everything.â
Michael usually refutes it with an, âOmnia causa fiunt.â
Which translates to, everything happens for a reason.
She doesn't understand Michael sometimes, despite knowing the man for many eons now.
She supposed Michael has some secrets to hide as the heavenly father's right hand man.
She couldn't imagine the burden he's carrying but then again, everyone in the seven virtues has something to hide.
She hums to herself, her mind returning what she was previously thinking.
What was she talking about again?
Oh, Lucifer.
Lucifer got greedy, he lost both of his wives in the process.
What differs him from the first man then?
Nothing.
After all, he is the embodiment of the sin of pride.
He is prideful, arrogant, and greedy.
Not much of a difference between him and Adam, except for how they show their arrogance.
Lucifer became blind when given the opportunity to act upon his God forsaken dreams.
Gabriel grimaced at the thought. The very dreams that doomed humanity.
With that blindness, he lost everything in the process.
As what he deserves.
Gabriel wonders why can't [Y/n] see that a man is willing to go on his knees to worship her?
Azrael, the angel of death.
The virtue of humility. Despite Azrael's slight narcissistic personality, the man knows how to be humble.
Despite the popular belief.
The man knows how to control himself. He knows the difference between being arrogant and being proud of one's achievement.
Unlike Lucifer.
Although, Azrael is borderline to it, she won't speak about it though. Nope, nuh uh.
How funny, Lucifer the sin of pride and Azrael the virtue of humility.
Gabriel almost chuckled at the thought, âI supposed there are two sides of the same coin.â
With a sigh, the sounds of her heels clicking against the tiled floors came to a halt.
She stood in the hallway of the Caeles mansion, facing the door that leads to [Y/n]'s room.
She can hear [Y/n]'s muffled behind the door, along with a familiar voice of Azrael laughing. Though, muffled.
Gabriel tilts her body slightly to the side so she can gaze outside through the many windows that are in the hallway.
Dark evening blue skies are what she can see, the sun has set a few hours ago.
She's not sure, the concept of time doesn't matter to an immortal being such as her.
She turns to face the door once more, taking a deep breath as she composes herself.
Stand straight, chest up, shoulders back. Confidence.
She knocks and opens the door.
âGabriel... Hiââ [Y/n] says nervously, getting cut off.
âSave it Raphael, Azrael please leave.â Gabriel says, voice dripping with icy coldness.
Azrael smiled nervously at [Y/n], patting the girl's head before getting up from where he was sittingâthe edge or side of [Y/n]'s bedâhis heels clicked on the tiled floor as he walked.
He passes by Gabriel, patting the woman on the shoulder before exiting the room.
The door clicked as it closed. [Y/n] nervously gulped.
Gabriel sighs, finally letting herself walk towards [Y/n]'s direction.
The sound of her heels clicking against the tiled floor is what [Y/n] can only hear, she plays with her thumbs nervously. Her [e/c] eyes avoiding deep dark blue ones.
âWe need to talk.â She says sternly as she sits on the edge of the bed, [Y/n] sighs and nodded.
This is going to be fun. [Y/n] thought to herself, sighing mentally.
âWhat happened?â Gabriel asked, crossing her arms as she looked at the other female.
[Y/n] chuckled nervously, âI sorta got ambushed by evil...?â
Gabriel just stared blankly at her before deadpanning, âHowââ
âIt just happened okay?â [Y/n] just sighs and Gabriel just inhales and then exhales loudly.
âI don't want to continue asking about that,â Gabriel says flatly, clearly lost for words.
[Y/n] just nodded before looking away to avoid the other woman's eyes.
âWhy do you insist on taking this job?â Gabriel asked, her dark blue eyes sternly looking at the [h/c] haired girl.
[Y/n] looked at the other woman in the eye, faltering slightly from the sharpness or Gabriel's dark blue ones.
âBecause I just want to, what more reason do you want?â [Y/n] says nervously, avoiding Gabriel's stern and judgemental gaze.
Gabriel sighs then raises an eyebrow at her, âWe know you just want to see him. It's been eons, [Y/n]. Why are you still hung up on the guy? You should move on and perhaps find someone new?â she asked her and [Y/n] avoided Gabriel's gaze and turned to look at the window near her bed, watching as the clouds passed by her window.
She sighs, âI can't, I still love him, Gabriel. After all these years my heart still yearns for him, aches, and beats for him.â she whispers softly, voice shaking and vulnerable.
Gabriel sighs, âYou always let your emotions get in the way, that's the problem with you [Y/n] you don't think.â she says sternly and [Y/n] remained quiet, she knows Gabriel is right but she can't help it.
âHe's just a man, [y/n].â
âA failure of an angel, he brings shame to the seraphims.â
âNo, he's not.â [Y/n] refutes back yet her voice lacks resolve, it was barely a whisper.
âSo what are you telling me? That this is all worth it because he's the love of your life and this was the man for youâ Gabriel asked, a tinge of anger in her voice, her words sending knives to [Y/n]'s heart.
Gabriel is right and she refuses to listen.
âI don't know... He might've been.â [Y/n] answers weakly, a single tear running down her left cheek.
âThis is ridiculous.â Gabriel says and [Y/n] just gave a pained laugh, âI know.â she says, she knows that.
âSo there's no chance of changing your mind then?â Gabriel asked, a small scoff leaving her lips, her eyebrows slightly furrowed in slight annoyance at the thought of [Y/n] going down in hell once more.
[Y/n] nodded, Gabriel sighed and stood up from where she was sitting, âYou're really an idiot, [Y/n].â Gabriel says with a small sigh, a strand of dark blue hair falling on her face. She uses her finger to tuck those strands behind her ear. Her dark blue eyes analyzing the other womanâhelpless, weak, an utter fool for lowering herself for a man.
One might say the standards are in hell because of how low it is.
How ironic, amusing.
[Y/n] smiled weakly, she knows. She knows she's stupid for loving a man this much.
Yet, she can't help it. She's a fool. A fool in love with the devil, who was once an angel, who was once her loving husband.
You can never really know you love someone until they've hurt you and still think of them as the best person ever.
âYeah, I know.â [Y/n] says with a pained smile, a bitter chuckle escaping from her plump pink lips.
Gabriel stood up from where she was sitting, walking to a nearby window that's near the edge of her bed, she stared outside the glass panel, her hands behind her back.
âDoes that mean you'll be going down there again?â She asked, not bothering to look at [Y/n].
âYeah.â [Y/n] nodded, her eyes downcast as she looked defeated. She hated herself for being like this.
âI am not stopping you, you're far too stubborn to listen anyways.â Gabriel says, voice monotone and tired.
âI know.â she says, voice barely above a whisper, a meek and powerless voice. Not wanting to agree with Gabriel but the woman is right and it hurts admitting it.
âDon't say I didn't tell you so.â
Not the first time someone told her that, and it didn't end well for her.
History repeats itself.
And as usual, it's her fault for not listening.
Azrael stood behind the door, ear pressed on the wooden door, eavesdropping.
He is aware that Gabriel can be harsh sometimes and he is also curious.
Can't say what he heard didn't break his heart.
He moves away from the door and leans against the wall, his face expressionless.
He has no reason to cry about it, he knows he had no chance.
A small smile was now on his face and a single tear slid down from his left eye, leaving a wet trail on to his pale cheek.
The door suddenly opens which prompted him to quickly wipe the tear away and composed himself.
He watches as Gabriel walks out of the door and closes the door behind her.
Dark blue eyes meeting dark black ones.
Gabriel's eyes widened ever so slightly when he saw Azrael standing and leaning on the wall near the door, âI thought you left.â she says, eyebrow raised at him.
Azrael chuckled softly, his voice smooth and sweet yet had a tinge of slight bitterness.
âI was curious what you girls were talking about, curiosity kills the cat indeed.â he says with a slight humor in his voice.
Gabriel's eyes softened slightly, âAre you okay?â she asked him, crossing her arms over her chest.
Azrael shakes his head, âNo, but I will be eventually.â he says with a small sigh, âPerhaps I should start moving on, besides, I'm starting to get interested in a certain someone.â he murmured, a mischievous grin on his face as remembered a certain archangel who is the acting celestial scribe to the book of life.
âIs it Michael?â she asked and Azrael gave her a disgust and flabbergasted expression, a hand over his chest.
âExcuse me?â he says, dumbfounded, âI may swing both ways but he isn't my type.â he says flatly, Gabriel gave him a side eye.
âReally? I swear both of you have this weird tension. The younglings say they 'ship' you and you two are the perfect representation of old man yaoi whatever that means.â
Azrael almost choked on air, what the fuck? Where did those angels even learn those wordsâ
âGabriel, what the fuck?â
Gabriel chuckles, nudging the male's shoulder, âI am just kidding.â she says with a teasing tone before humming to herself, âMetatron was it? I barely interact with them nor see them often. They're like Michael but worse, they're usually near father at all times to help him write the book of life so we barely see them in public.â she deadpans before looking at Azrael, âSince you are the angel of death, I supposed you see them often. I can just imagine you annoying them every time you're with them.â she says flatly.
Azrael chuckles, âIndeed, they're rather interesting but for now, I'll resolve my personal issues before acting upon my interest in them.â
âGood. Go to therapy.â Gabriel says, her lips pressed in a thin line as she looked at Azrael with a deadpan expression.
Azrael pouted a little.
âBut I no no wanna...â he whined dramatically with a small laugh as he began to follow Gabriel as they walked away from [Y/n]'s room, the click of their heels slowly faded away as they slowly disappeared from the room.
Meanwhile,
âDad, are you okay?â Charlie asked softly, her father staring outside his bedroom window, a lost look on his face.
Charlie was outside the door during her father and her supposed half brother arguing.
She wanted to come inside the room and try to calm both men down, but when she heard Xavier's voice as he talked to their father.
Charlie could hear eons of rage and utter pain in the boy's voice.
It stopped her from intervening, a voice in her mind kept telling her, âDon't. He needs this.â
Even if their father was the receiver of those harsh words.
She might not fully know nor understand the pain and suffering Xavier went but when she looked at the boy's [e/c] eyes, she was able to see utter sadness despite the blank expression on his face.
Lucifer was just blankly staring outside the window, his eyes fixated on the outside world but his mind somewhere, lost and drowning in his own self hate.
He hated it. He was not prepared. He was not prepared to see an almost exact replica of himself to arrive at his daughter's doorstep.
He was not prepared to see an exact replica of him filled with anger and sadness.
Seeing Xavier with his own two eyes, he was able to understand a bit of what the boy went through.
And he was the cause of it.
He regretted the things he has done, especially on how he treated [Y/n].
He was youngâno, he was stupid. Just stupid.
Nothing can excuse his actions. He was an idiot and a fool.
[Y/n] was there for him, she was his best friend and he treated her like that.
Like a doll he discarded once he got bored.
He was wrong on how he treated her.
He should've done that, he should've loved her properly, treated her properly.
He should've been Xavier's father, the father that the boy needed and the father that the boy could trust.
Not someone he looks at with so much anger.
Terrifying, Xavier's rage reminded him of his own when he fell from grace.
Though, the reasons are highly different.
He loves [Y/n], he still does.
He realized that he still does in fact love the woman when he was separated from her for many, many years.
He would often call out to her without thinking, then remembering âOh, she's not here.â
Falling from grace was enough to slap some sense into him.
He treated an amazing woman like her like garbage.
He's really an asshole.
Lilith cannot compare to [Y/n], he can't remember how many times [Y/n]'s name slips from his lips whenever he argues with Lilith.
It created distance between them.
Lilith couldn't take it anymore and left him.
He was left alone to wallow in self pity. He was left alone to mourn for the woman he left to suffer in her heartbreak which he caused.
He mourned his first love, he mourned his first son.
Which he doesn't deserve to do, considering that it should be the opposite.
To Xavier, he's a dead man. To [Y/n], he's a nobody.
Charlie watches her father with an unreadable expression on her, her hand outstretched as if to reach him but it hesitated midway. Shaking and unsure.
âDad...?â she softly calls out again, her voice echoing despite the ringing in Lucifer's ears. His daughter's voice sounds like it's echoing in the four corners of his hotel room.
Suffocating. It felt like he was trapped in his own mind. His mistakes echoed like a siren's call to him. Teasing him.
He felt cold. He felt numb.
Snap. Everything stopped. The ringing stopped.
Though, his heart is beating erratically against his ribcage, like a monster threatening to get out of its prison.
He felt utterly numb.
His eyes are scanning his room, gentle streaks of light filtering through the glass panel of his windows giving his room a reddish like hue.
With a deep shaky sigh, he turned around and faced his daughter, his hand gripping his cane clenched ever so slightly.
âCharlie, dear... I would like to be alone at the moment.â he says, hesitantly. Voice quivering in each syllable, each word filled with the regrets of his past and present. Weighing him down.
Charlie's eyes widened ever so slightly before giving her father a small reassuring smile, âOh! Of course... Excuse me...â she says giving him a small bow before turning around on her heels to walk towards the door. She paused, took a deep breath before looking at her father through her shoulder.
âIf you need me, I'll be somewhere around the hotel. I'll always be here for you, dad.â she says with a small smile before turning around once more, twisting the doorknob open and walks out of the door.
The door clicked to a close when she was gone.
Lucifer's tensed shoulders loosened as it drops, a small frown on his beautiful face.
A single tear slips past his eye, the droplet sliding down on his left cheek, leaving a trail on his soft and pale yet rosy cheek.
âI know.â he whispered before a choked sob escaped his lips.
He can feel the stinging sensation around his eyes, vision blurring as tears mess up his sense of sight.
He can feel his legs buckling as if it struggled to carry the weight of his mistakes that he's carrying on his shoulders.
It gave out as he was now on the floor, small sobs could be heard from, his sobs bouncing on the walls of his room, mocking him.
âWhy am I crying? I don't deserve to cry. I don't deserve to cry after what I had done.â he says choking on his words, shoulders shaking, trembling.
He hugged himself in an attempt to comfort himself, yet he was met with painful memories of when [Y/n] used to hold him when he was crying.
âI'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...â he repeated to himself, rocking back and forth on where he was kneeling like a sinner.
Begging for her forgiveness, yet his repentance can't be heard from her.
âIt's all my fault, it's all my fault.â thinking these words were like a stab to the heart because it is true.
With his last bit of energy, he lies down on the cold tiled floor. His white suit a pop of color to the redness all around him, his cheeks pressed against the tiles as tears continue to slide down on his pale skin and on to the floor.
âOver, I can't believe it's over, I can't believe the love I lived, to show some other day...â he quietly sang, his voice raspy from all the crying he shifts to let his body face the ceiling, his eyes staring blankly at the chandeliers.
âListen, I hope that you can hear me...â he sang, propping his elbows on the floor to lift himself up into a kneeling position, his hands trembling, voice cracking with emotions, âAs I kneel down and pray with the love I meant to say...â he sang softly, his voice beautiful yet filled with unexplainable regret.
âShadows, you took away the shadows...â
âBefore my life was black and white, though tonight the room's gone gray.â
She was the light of his life, his life was monotone before she came, she was a splash of color to the black and white of his so-called life.
âGolden, all the love you gave was golden,â he sang softly, [Y/n]'s bright smiling face flashes into his mind, a smile that brought so much warmth and happiness into his life, âGolden, I would gladly pay, to show the love I meant to say...â
âOh, music you made me hear, such music,â
âSilly Lucifer, don't take our elder's words to heart! Their ancient beliefs can't possibly understand your amazing ideas!â [Y/n]'s words echo in his mind, for a brief moment, he could see [Y/n] smiling and giggling at him, her long white dress fluttering against the wind.
His eyes widened when the figment of his imagination of [Y/n] slowly fades away, his eyes widened in fear as he attempted to lift himself up from the floor, his hands outstretched in hopes of reaching her.
Only to grip on to nothing.
âWithout you here to guide me, I feel as though I'll fly away...â he muttered, his voice continuing to break as tears continued to stream down his cheeks.
Droplets of his tears falling into the floor, his reflection mirrored into the small puddle of his pain.
âS-sorry,â his voice breaks even more, a simple word that is too late to say, too heavy to speak with his own lips. The very words he wants to say to her.
âSorry, that's the word I want to sing to you,â
He took a deep shaky breath, his wine red like eyes tired and dull, eyes puffy and red after all the crying he had done, âThe other word is stay, to hear the love I meant to say.â he softly sang, small hiccups can be heard.
He's really an idiot.

Practice On Me â Part Four â Azriel x Reader
Summary: Itâs Solstice! Reader decides she should probably be honest with Azriel about some stuff. Things donât quite go to plan.
Oof. Okay. This could be uncomfortable reading for some. There are some hints and depictions of domestic abuse and also of alcoholism, so if thatâs something that might trigger you, please, please do not read this. The last thing I want is for my writing to be harmful to anybody. Read with caution. Take care and put yourself first. Lots of love.
Also, please donât hate me for this đwe know Iâm a hoe for angst and it wouldnât be one of my fics if there wasnât some sprinkled in there lmao.
Word Count: 5k.
Warnings: Depiction of abusive behaviour. Heavy drinking. Some violence.
On a brisk winter morning, when the sun hasnât yet graced the sky, the last place you wish to be is at the Windhaven crĂšche, watching over a group of tired, grouchy younglings. Every second thought that passes through your mind is a longing one, lamenting on how desperately you wish to be back in your bed.
But alas, you owe your friend, Vegha, a favour, making you the sole minder of ten restless little girls, all annoyed that their brothers get to join their fathers for training, while they have to stay back and beâŠgirls. A downfall, according to most Illyrian males.
Youâre supposed to be watching over them for a couple of hours while Vegha runs an errand. And that time is going very, very slowly.
Youâre in the middle of reading a storybook â and, yes, doing all the voices â when the door opens behind you. You feel a glimmer of hope that perhaps Vegha is back earlier than planned, but when you swivel on the child-sized chair youâve perched yourself on, itâs Azriel who looms in the doorway.
And youâŠyour heart does a silly little thing in your chest.
âDonât let me interrupt.â He says. âI can wait.â
Your eyebrows flick up in amusement. âCome take a seat, then. Itâs story time.â
His lips twitch, and he goes to reach for one of those infant chairs â which youâre not at all sure can handle all his muscle â but this sparks a flurry of complaints from the girls, who all insist that they want to sit with Azriel the most, and within seconds, heâs cross-legged on the floor with the children somehow managing to settle around him without bickering, and theyâre all able to command his attention at once.
Happy mediums, and all that.
Your gaze lingers on him as he does all the right things; leaning his head down so he can appear lessâŠhuge, while listening with rapt attention to one of the girlâs chattering; steadying another one as they climb over him to get themselves seated; gently telling them all that they have to be quiet if they want to hear the rest of the story. That, of course, achieves immediate near silence.
And thus begins an entire performance of you continuing the tale, and the girls â and Azriel â responding in all the right places. They howl when theyâre supposed to make the sound of a wolf, and roar when itâs a mountain cat, and you donât miss that Azriel helps the tiniest of the girls to remember which animals make what sounds.
Most males in this gods-forsaken place are an intimidating presence to these children, frightening them into silence whenever theyâre around, because girls are supposed to be seen and not heard. But Azriel is always gentle, always kind, and they adore him for it.
Itâs a combination of all these things that force you to face a truth thatâs been rapidly snowballing inside your mind and heart for the past four days â something has changed. Shifted. Has been shifting and changing for a while.
You laid awake for hours that night in the dormitory, listening to Azrielâs breathing as he slept deeply, happily sated from the pleasure youâd given him. Your mind had been too much of a war zone for you to drift off.
Nine years, youâve called this male your closest friend. Ever since the very first day youâd met him, when a group of males had pushed you to the floor and kicked mud at you, and heâd jumped in and defended you for no other reason than that heâs good to the bone. Nine years, youâve been by each otherâs sides, and itâs been comfortable and familiar and justâŠright.
But now â now, you think you may have jeopardised that all by going along with Azrielâs request for help. Help with kissing. Touching. Experiencing.
Youâll always want to help him in any way that you can, of course. But you didnât quite anticipate the predicament you now find yourself in. That you want all of those things and more, not just under the ruse of building your friendâs confidence. You want to explore more with him, feel more with him. Youâve been able to think about nothing else for days.
And it might make you a total wretch, but you want Kaeda to be a distant memory. The thought of Azriel taking what youâve shown him, shared with him, and putting his all into somebody elseâŠit sours your stomach. Makes you feel sick.
Makes your heart hurt.
And, well, youâre fucked, really.
Itâs a kind of hurt that wonât go away on its own. It isnât avoidable nor ignorable. And so your only option is to confront it, be honest about it. Whatever the outcome may be.
The story comes to an end, and the girls are calmed and sleepy enough that they look ready to curl up on the floor and doze off. Azriel peels himself away from the cluster of clingy children and stands up, strolling over to you.
âWell that was fun.â He comments quietly, taking the book from your hands. âWho knew I was so adept at doing animal impressions?â
âOne of your many talents, I suppose.â You smile, drinking in the sight of him. He looks tired this morning. Tired, but beautiful. âTo what do I owe the pleasure?â
His expression sobers slightly, and he tells you, âWeâre leaving this morning. For the training exercise.â
Immediately, your stomach churns. Being away from your friends sets you on edge. Windhaven is a lonely, lonely place to be without the love of Rhys, Cassian and Azriel to warm you. And not even Rhysâs mother is here to make it a little more bearable.
Az immediately recognises the bleakness that passes your face. He steps closer, his hand a gentle brush against yours. âIâll be back for Solstice.â He reminds you yet again.
âI know.â You attempt to force an easy, breezing smile. âWhatâs the plan for Solstice, anyway?â
Normally, Rhysandâs mother would cook a meal in the cottage. You wouldnât be able to attend, given that youâre always stuck at home with your father, but by the time he would pass out drunk, youâd sneak out and make it to the cottage just as the games were starting. Some of your happiest memories are of being curled up on one couch with Az, Rhys and his mother on the other, and Cassian stood in front of you, making a terrible attempt at playing charades.
But itâll be different this year. With the High Lord keeping a tight leash on his pregnant mate in Velaris, there will be no meal, no charades. You, Azriel and Cassian would most certainly not be welcome at their intimate family celebration.
âRhys will spend the day in Velaris.â Az tells you. âCass and I will be getting drunk. Thereâs a celebration being held at the dormitories in the evening, so I suppose weâll all end up there.â
You dip your chin. âIâll come and find you there, then.â
His responding smile is a gentle one; one that says he sees right through you, right through to the panic thatâs eating away at you, and he understands.
Thereâs no way he sees everything that youâre feeling, though. Perhaps thatâs a good thing.
Your body goes slightly rigid as he dips down and presses a kiss to your forehead. His hand squeezes yours, and then heâs pulling away. âSee you on Solstice.â
He bids a quiet goodbye to the dozing girls. Itâs as heâs heading for the door that you find yourself stepping after him. ââŠAz?â
He turns, hand on the doorknob. âYes?â
âThereâsâŠsomething I need to talk to you about, when you get back. Something I need to tell you.â
Okay. Shit. Youâre really doing this.
Azrielâs eyes rake over you, and then he smiles. âWeâll talk on Solstice.â
â§: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸ
Your headâs not all there today, as you stare out of the window of your fatherâs forge. Azriel and the others have been gone almost a week, and youâve spent every one of those days thinking about how youâre going to tell himâŠwhatever it is youâre going to tell him.
Youâre not even certain, yourself.
Just thatâŠthat things are different. That you know, to begin with, that this was about him and Kaeda â but itâs shifted in your brain at an alarming rate, and now that youâve shared something soâŠso meaningful, with him, youâre not sure you can go on acting as though it was all just a favour.
Yeah. That should do it.
And itâs a huge fucking risk, of course. Thereâs every chance he wonât return the sentiment, and then a giant wedge of unresolved feelings will exist between you.
But you need to â perhaps selfishly â confront this before things between him and Kaeda progress. In case thereâs a slight chance that itâll alter the path itâs heading down.
And you havenât thought any further than that.
The snow has started again, and you watch the flurries sweep past the window and join the thick layer on the ground. Youâve become so accustomed to the noise of the forge that you hardly notice it anymore â not the constant clanking, nor the heat that the fires swathe the shop in. You used to beg your father to teach you his craft, to allow you to get stuck in and get your hands dirty, but heâs always stubbornly maintained that itâs a maleâs job, and that he needs you for the bookkeeping. Youâre surprised he trusts you with that.
You breathe a soft sigh, your thoughts once again flitting back to Az. To what he might be doing, thinking, feeling. Whether he misses you as much as you miss him.
But before those thoughts can take a hold of you and sink you deeper into your predicament, the door opens, the bell above it ringing and a gust of cold air momentarily biting you.
Itâs rare for females to come to the forge. Very rare, indeed. Which is why, for a second or two, you just stare.
That â and because sheâs incredibly beautiful.
Her eyes â the colour of emeralds â sweep the workshop, before landing on you, and she smiles. She has the telltale tanned skin of an Illyrian, but instead of the dark hair thatâs so typical around here, hers is red â not orange, not auburn, but blood red. Youâve never seen a shade quite like it.
And if thatâs not enough to completely bowl you over, your gaze rakes over her clothing, and you stop, stunned.
Females around here wear homespun dresses of simple brown shades. A few, like yourself, favour basic tunics and breeches. Clothing is just a necessity, not something you lend much thought to.
But this female wears Illyrian leathers. Never, in your life, have you seen females wear Illyrian leathers. Itâs simply not a done thing.
But she looks resplendent in them.
They cling to supple curves and accentuate a figure that you donât think youâd ever be able to achieve with any amount of training. And perhaps the most shocking thing of all â and the most enviable â is the presence of brilliant, beautiful wings at her back. Unclipped. Untouched. Unruined.
How your wings might have one day looked, had your father not destroyed them.
Youâre not entirely convinced that an angel hasnât just stepped into your fatherâs forge. Or perhaps this is the Mother that everyone worships. Part of you wants to worship her, too, and beg her to bestow upon you her blessingsâ
You snap yourself out of it before you can fall head-over-heels in love with her. Sheâs just a customer.
A very, very beautiful customer.
âGood day to you.â She says, approaching the counter. Her voice is like pure music.
You incline your head in greeting. âAnd to you. Is there something I can help you with?â
âIâm interested in having some gifts made for my father and brothers. For Solstice.â
Once again, youâre gawking.
Another thing thatâs unheard of; females liking their family members enough to have gifts made for them.
You clear your throat, blinking out of your thoughts. âWhatâŠwhat kind of things were you looking for?â
âPersonalised daggers.â She answers, and then she grins in a way that makes you want to tell her your life story, and leans closer. âA male can never have too many daggers, right?â
You breathe a laugh. It doesnât sound natural. âAbsolutely.â
âIâll be needing three. One for my father, and one each for my two brothers. Can that be done in time for Solstice? I can pay extraâŠâ
This female has beauty, leathers, wings, a relationship with her family members, money. Sheâs magnificent. A few exchanged words, and youâre awed by her.
Who is she? How have you never seen her before?
âIt can be done.â You tell her with a flustered smile. âIâll just need to sit with you and get some details of exactly what you want made, and then my father will get straight to it. I imagine theyâll be ready for collection by Solstice Eve.â
Her eyes light up in a way that reminds you of sunrise. âThatâs perfect.â
Thereâs a second or two where you justâŠcanât help staring. Her beauty has knocked you speechless.
But once again, you snap yourself out of it and try to retain some semblance of professionalism.
âCan I take your name down?â You say, and clear your throat again. Gods, you hope youâre not blushing. âFor the order.â
You grab a piece of parchment and a pen, hoping youâll remember how the fuck to write.
âItâs Kaeda.â She says, and the pen nearly slips from your hand. âKaeda Baralas.â
â§: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸ
Solstice morning sweeps in just as abruptly as the fresh onslaught of snow that once again batters the camp.
Itâs going to be a rough one. You can feel it in your bones.
You dread it every year, but this year is made even worse by the constant stream of thoughts that have been plaguing you over the last week. About whether telling Az about your feelings is a good idea. Not just because of what it could do to your friendship, but becauseâŠ
Because you canât deny that since seeing Kaeda in the flesh, youâre doubting yourself more than ever.
Of course, you can see why Azriel would want her. And why heâd want to be good and experienced for her. And youâŠyouâve been facilitating that. Youâre the practice dummy. Kaeda is the real thing.
At least the chaos of Solstice keeps you busy.
You wake early, and from the noise and foot traffic outside your bedroom window, you know Azâs unit has safely returned from their training exercise. Your relief is short-lived, replaced by the dread of your father hitting the bottle.
Every year is the same. You spend the day trying to focus on your preparation of the huge meal youâre expected to cook, while your father knocks back drink after drink and gradually gets rowdier. You tell yourself that the more he drinks, the better â heâll fall asleep eventually, and youâll be out of here.
But then the front door bursts open.
Itâs four of your fatherâs friends who pile into your cramped home, singing at the tops of their voices and reeking of booze. Youâre only just able to stop one of them knocking a pot of potatoes off the counter with a careless, wayward wing. They barely acknowledge you, filing through to the sitting room to greet your father. Their voices get louder, and an ache is building behind your eye.
Day bleeds into late afternoon. You try to ignore them, to focus on the task at hand. Cooking is usually enjoyable for you, but with an unwelcome party happening in the next room, you find yourself getting more and more stressed.
By the time your father bustles his way into the kitchen and begins sniffing around the food, youâre close to losing it.
âIsnât it ready yet?â Your father rudely demands.
You stare out of the kitchen window, at the dwindling light of approaching evening, clenching your jaw. âIt is. Iâm waiting for your friends to leave.â
âTheyâll be eating with us.â
You whirl on the spot. âWe donât have enough food for that.â
âI told you weâd have guests.â
No, he absolutely hadnât. This is a power play. He does shit like this all the time. Backs you into corners.
âI bought food for two people.â You snap, unable to stop yourself. âNot six.â
Your fatherâs nostrils flare. You know that look on his face a little too well â the one where his cheeks redden and his eyes turn cold. Itâs always, always made your stomach lurch.
He steps closer, and you press your back against the counter, trying your utmost not to look intimidated.
âYouâd better rectify that, hadnât you?â His tone is deceptively gentle. âBe a good girl and find a way to make the food go around six people. You wouldnât want to ruin Solstice.â
Itâs a veiled threat. One youâd be wise not to ignore.
So you stare at him and he stares at you. And when he eventually nods and leaves the room, you turn and try to work out how to make a meal for two a meal for six.
â§: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸ
The mountain of a male beside you jostles your chair so violently that you almost fall out of it.
His hand grabs a roast potato from your plate. He shoves it into his mouth, chews, and grins. âYou werenât going to eat that, were you?â
The entire meal has been like this.
Perhaps itâs your ice-thin temper that has you staring him right in the eye; a thing many Illyrian males consider a great disrespect from females. âWould it matter if I was?â
He swallows and swipes the lone, remaining potato you hadnât planned to touch. âNot really, no.â
The dinner is usually the only part you enjoy of Solstice. A meal that you spend hours perfecting, of slow-cooked meat and roasted potatoes and a colourful array of different vegetables that are cooked to perfection. Itâs the one part of the day where you can just sit and breathe, because even your father doesnât usually have a bad word to say about the meal youâve presented.
This one has been pure, unadulterated hell.Â
To accommodate your unwanted guests, youâve skimped on your own food, barely affording yourself a couple of mouthfuls. Wine and ale has been spilled across the table, and the conversation around it has only grown more and more uncomfortable â and vile â as the night has worn on. You want nothing more than to get out of here and find your friends, but your father and his cronies show no signs of slowing down.Â
You sit, staring emptily at the plates, the little remaining morsels of the meal you spent all day cooking. You try to block out the laughter and jeering, the disgusting comments, the blatant disrespect, but itâs all getting to you, riling you up. Youâre not sure how long youâll last without snapping.
Your answer comes when your father looks at you. And he snaps his fucking fingers at the finished plates.Â
âClear this up, Y/N.â He says.Â
You know your father. You know what he can be like, the damage he can do. Your ruined back is evidence enough. And you know the wisest and safest thing is for you to comply and rant about him to your friends later.
But youâre far beyond that point.
You meet his gaze, and your jaw ticks as you shoot back, âWhy donât you clear it up yourself?â
You regret it the second the room falls deathly silent. All the noise is gone in an instant. Every face is looking your way.
But itâs your fatherâs face youâre concerned with. The expression that tells you youâve made a grave, grave mistake.Â
âWhat was that?â His voice is quiet. Too quiet.
You look away. Wish you could cram the words back down your throat. âNothing.â
âIt wasnât nothing.â The male beside you sneers. âYou speak to your father like that, girl? If you were my child, Iâd string you up by the remains of those wings you never should have been born with.â
âIâd do a lot worse than that.â Another one remarks, a sickening laugh in his voice.
Throughout it all, your father is staring at you. Saying nothing.
âDid it hurt, anyway? Having them ripped off like that? I bet it did. I hope it did.â
Your final straw is when the pig at your side has the audacity to reach around and touch your back. You tense immediately, and youâre shooting up from your chair, knocking it over as you do.
âDonât ever lay a finger on me again.â You will your voice to be stronger, firmer, but it wonât comply. You shake as you gather the plates up in your hand. âIâm cleaning this up.â
Thatâs met with a chorus of laughter, a pelting of comments. You tell yourself to block it out, block it the fuck out, balance as much as you reasonably can in your hands and book it into the kitchen. You dump the plates onto the counter and grip onto the sink basin, trying to draw in deep, slow breaths.
But then there are footsteps behind you. And the kitchen door closes. And you know thatâs not good.
âY/N.âÂ
Your eyes shutter. You release one of those useless breaths before you dare to turn and face your father.Â
And when you do, his face isâŠsoft. Eyes filled with concern.
But youâre not stupid enough to buy it.Â
Youâre taut as a bowstring as he approaches you, stopping inches away. He drinks in the sight of you, tilting his head. You wait for him to tell you that you look just like your mother â a fact that only contributes to his vitriol. As if itâs your fault that she abandoned him, abandoned both of you.Â
He thinks it is.
His hand touches your cheek, his thumb sweeping the skin there. You swallow, hoping he canât feel the way you tremble beneath him.Â
âWhatâs gotten into you, my girl?â He asks quietly. âWhat did I say about not ruining Solstice?â
You swallow. Lower your gaze. âI thought it would just be the two of us.â
âDo I not have the right to invite my friends into my home?â
âIâm just saying that a little bit of warning would have been appreciated. I didnât spend hours cooking a meal just for your friends to come along and ruin it.â
âYour attitude has become insufferable. Perhaps itâs those three males youâve been spreading your legs for. Giving you too much of an ego boost.â
You almost want to laugh in his face â laugh at his cluelessness. But your anger wins. Maybe youâre more like him than you ever thought.
âOr perhaps, father,â you snap, âitâs an accumulation of anger and desperation after twenty years of living with a repulsive, sanctimoniousââ
He strikes you so hard that for a moment, youâre simply stunned as to why youâre suddenly on the floor. But the thwack of his hit rings in your ears, echoes through the kitchen.Â
And then the metallic taste of blood is coating the inside of your mouth. Itâs streaming down your chin, and youâre not even sure where itâs all coming from, only that it hurts and your eyes are stinging.Â
Your father stares down at you. And in that moment, you realise that the eeriest thing of all is that he never glares at you. You think youâd prefer that.
He always stares with that emptiness. That icy vacancy. It makes his actions more unpredictable, more dangerous.Â
He lunges down so suddenly that you flinch, yanking you up by the front of your shirt. Your legs donât want to comply as he shoves you towards the door.
âGet the fuck out of my house.â He hisses at you, ripping the door open. âGo on. Fuck off, just like your mother did.â
And then heâs shoving you into the snow, a plume of it erupting around you. You hardly notice the cold. Youâre too stunned.
Not stunned enough, though, to refrain from biting back at him. Just like a threatened animal would.Â
âFuck you.â You sneer, the words contorted by a mouthful of blood that you spit onto the snow. âFuck you, father.â
The bastard laughs in your face. Just as heâs always laughed in your face. And then he kicks snow at you because he can and steps back into the house.
When the door shuts behind him, you push to your feet. Youâre trembling all over. It might be the cold. It might be the shock.
Thereâs only one person you want to see right now. So you wrap your arms around yourself and head towards the dormitories.
â§: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸâ§ïœ„ïŸ: *â§ïœ„ïŸ
Halfway through trudging across the camp, your shoes sodden with snow, your lip still bleeding, the emotions begin to hit.
You resent them. You resent feeling anything at all towards the male who is your only blood relative in this hollow, hollow place. The one who took your wings. The one who has tried to keep a firm grasp on the control he has over your life.
But you do feel things. Hurt and rage and humiliation and â bizarrely â betrayal. As if some small slither of hope had followed you from childhood into adulthood â that your father would one day miraculously awaken as a different person. A family member worth holding onto.
He never would.
No, your true family has always been the small, loving group that crams themselves into a cottage across the camp; a place of warmth and welcoming.
Rhysand and Cassian and Azriel. Rhysandâs mother, too. They are your family. They have always cared, since the moment you met them.
Itâs for that reason that you persevere with your walk, even though youâre frozen to the bone. You think you might be crying. Youâre not too sure anymore. Your friends will make it better. They always make it better.
The dormitories glow in the distance; a welcome sight, for once. You kick through the snow with desperation, and youâre definitely crying, definitely shaking all over, but the sounds of the celebrations coming from inside are a relief. Playful jeering and someone strumming a lute and off-kilter singing.
You push your way through the door. Inside is as crowded as you expect it to be, but you donât even care. Anywhere is better than at home.
Your eyes â not really taking in much at all â scan the corridors, the common area, looking for any of your three closest friends. You see none of them, but a hand lands on your shoulder, and you turn to find Vegha there. Her eyes widen immediately at the state of you. You dread to think how bad you look.
âY/N, what the fuck?â She blurts. âWhy are you bleeding?â
âFell over.â You know how stupid it sounds. âIâŠI need to find Azriel. Have you seen him?â
âOh, I think he skulked off to his room a little while ago. Everyone knows he hates big parties like thisââ
Perfect. Youâll hole up in his room together and block the rest of the world out. Youâre already turning and pushing through people. Youâll apologise to Vegha for your rudeness later. Right now, you just need Azrielâs comfort, his love. The conversation you planned to have with him tonight is now a distant memory, an issue to confront later. You justâŠjust want him. He always makes everything better.
You donât notice the drink that gets spilled on you, or the disgruntled groups of people you have to shove through. None of that matters. Azriel is your family. He matters.
Finally, you make it to his room. The soft glow of faelights shine beneath the door â an indication heâs inside. You almost sob with relief as you grab the handle and burst in.
Two faces immediately look round at you.
Azrielâs.
Kaedaâs.
Kaeda lies on top of him, hands either side of his head. Her lips are swollen and inches from his. Azriel is palming at her waist, holding her against him. Theyâre both fully clothed, butâŠbut you get the sense they wouldnât have been for much longer, had it not been for your interruption.
Azriel drinks in the sight of you, his chest heaving. He blinks. YouâŠyouâre rooted to the spot.
And you fucking wince as Kaeda sits up slightly. Azâs hands fall back to his sides.
The beautiful female eyes you, tilting her head. And you want to get out of there, to fucking run, but you canât do anything but stand and blink as something shatters inside of you.
âThe shop hand from the forge.â Kaeda states in surprise, as if itâs ludicrous to consider that you might sometimes venture outside of your fatherâs workshop. âWhat happened to your face?â
Azriel is finally springing into action, then, sitting up and scooting out from beneath Kaeda. âY/NâŠâ
You cannot bear the gentleness of his voice. It may just finish you off.
All of this might. Staying here a second longer might.
So you, for some reason, shake your head and back slowly out of the room. Azriel lurches up, but youâre grabbing hold of the door handle firmly.
âSorry for interrupting.â Your voice is all wrong and fractured. You quickly shut the door before it can morph into a sob.
You think Azriel might call after you, but itâs probably wishful thinking. You donât know. Donât know anything. Donât know what to do next.
So you simply walk away.
You suppose youâve taught Azriel everything he needs to know.

Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol
âââââ
Jungkook is excited. He hasnât had his friends over in forever, and he and Jimin are already planning to get plastered even though Sera said they shouldnât.
Heâs been needing it, if only so that he can get you off his mind. So that he can forget how awkward things were this week, how you both avoided each other like the plague as if nothing truly ever happened between the two of you.
Itâs been making him feel more bitter than heâd care to admit, so getting plastered has been sounding like heaven since Jimin suggested it. Or maybe Jungkookâs true goal is just to get Jimin drunk, if only so that he stops teasing him about you.
About that evening you watched anime with them, and Jungkook couldnât resist but lean against you, far too close for comfort.
âIs she going to be there?â Jimin says for the thousandth time, wiggling his eyebrows.
They are currently setting up the living room, organizing all the alcohol they got. Sera is lounging on the couch, and she raises her head to look at them.
âIs who going to be there?â she asks.
âTaeâs sister,â Jimin explains, and then slides his gaze back to Jungkook. âThey were pretty cosy-â
Jungkook interrupts Jiminâs teasing by punching him in the shoulder, clearly hard enough to hurt as Jimin immediately winces, massaging the spot he hit.
âFuck off,â Jungkook grumbles. âWeâre just roommates.â
âOh my God, they were roommates,â Sera imitates from the couch, just like the Vine from years ago.
âExactly my point,â Jimin says, mischievous smirk on display.
âYou know Iâll kill you?â Jungkook says, slightly shaking his head as he clenches his jaw.
Jimin laughs, plopping down on the couch next to Sera. âThatâs if Tae doesnât get to you first.â
Jungkook rolls his eyes, choosing to ignore the comment this time around. It helps that his phone starts ringing with a call from Lisa incoming. He picks up to learn that sheâs outside with Eunwoo and Jaehyun, and Jungkook walks over to the door, opening up for his friends.
Lisa smiles shyly as she meets his gaze, and Jungkook engulfs her in a quick hug before dapping up the two guys. As he follows his friends back to the living room once theyâve ridden themselves of their coats and boots, Jungkook glances towards the bend in the hallway, almost imagining you appearing.
But youâre not here at all. He heard you leave over an hour ago, while he was gaming in his room waiting for Jimin and Sera to show up with the alcohol.
He wonders where you went. If thereâs a party on campus that youâre gracing with your presence right now, and somehow his stomach twists at the thought. He pushes it to the far back of his mind, focusing on drinking now that it is time to do so.
As he gets slowly tipsier with every passing sip, Jungkook canât help but notice how Lisa is bolder than she usually is. Sitting closer, being touchier, and Jungkook would push her away if it wasnât for the way Jimin is looking at them with narrowed eyes, suspicion painted on his features.Â
Lisa could be a good distraction, Jungkook reckons. Not for himself - he wouldnât have sex with her at all as sheâs part of the friend group, and heâd hate to make things awkward. But she could be a good distraction for Jiminâs incessant teasing, so Jungkook seizes the opportunity, lying down with his head on her lap as the boys - Mingyu has now also arrived - are playing Smash on the TV.Â
Jungkook feels the way Lisa stiffens for a few seconds, before relaxing as he offers her a quick smile. She melts then, and she starts playing with his hair, which feels way too good in his tipsy - or maybe drunk now? - state.
He sits up when itâs his turn to play, coincidentally grabbing a new beer for himself. Heâs just barely won the game when the front door opens, a gush of cold air rushing in, and then you appear, cheeks rosy from the late winter outside.
The sounds fade around Jungkook as he meets your gaze, and his heart comes to a halt in his chest as a frown appears on your face. He hates the sight of it, and heâs too drunk to tell himself itâs not his job to take care of it, so he yells, âPeach!â at the top of his lungs.
He feels everyone turning towards him, and he quickly jumps up to his feet, wobbling slightly as he makes his way towards you.
âItâs freezing,â he says, closing the door.Â
You meet his gaze, cocking an eyebrow. âYouâre drunk.â
He canât help himself. He flicks your nose, if only so that your frown dissolves. âAstute.â
You glance towards the living room, but Jungkook doesnât look away from you. Youâre a prison to his gaze after all.
âYou didnât tell me you were hosting something,â you hiss through your teeth.
He leans against the door as you meet his gaze again. âOh peach, sorry. I thought we werenât on speaking terms.â
Damn him and his drunk brain, because why the fuck would he say that?Â
He hides it behind a grin, and then escapes by walking back to the living room, feeling your eyes boring into his back on the way.
Sera greets you, but Jungkook forces himself to listen to the conversation around him, laughing when everybody does. Itâs a little forced, but it goes unnoticed, and the next time he glances towards the door, you have disappeared.
âI want to play with your hair again,â Lisa says in his ear, startling him.Â
Sera gets up to head to the kitchen, and Jungkook glances at Lisa. âHuh?â
She pouts, her doe eyes innocent. âLike earlier?â
Right. Heâs too drunk to refuse the offer, and he lies down, head in her lap, as she starts running gentle fingers through his hair once more. It doesnât last too long - the second you emerge from the kitchen after Seraâs return, Jungkook pushes himself up, waving you over.
âCome here!â He narrows his gaze as his eyes drop to the bowl in your hands. âWait, are those my noodles?â
You glance down. âMaybe.â
âStop stealing my shit,â he complains, and he gives Lisa the controller he was holding before standing up to walk towards you.
He tries to grab the bowl, but you turn away, offering your back to him. âNu-uh,â you say. âTheyâre mine now.â
Jungkook knows his eyebrows are almost touching over his eyes as he says, âNo.â He then wraps an arm around your waist, which forces you far too close to his body for comfort. He feels the immediate reaction, his ears slowly turning red, and he covers it up by stealing the bowl from your hands. You try to reach for it, but youâre too small, and he whoops in victory.
âIf you like my food so bad, just ask me to cook some for you,â he says, looking down to meet your gaze.
Your face is so close he believes he feels your breath on his skin, and his blood heats up, turning to magma in his veins.
âWhat are you doing?â you say through your teeth.
Fuck youâre so pretty. Itâs all he can think of, and he smiles, winking at you.Â
âMaking sure you donât eat the noodles I know Iâll need tomorrow morning for the hangover.â
You clench your jaw. âJust donât drink too much.â
His eyes trail to the coffee table. âI think itâs a little too late for that.â
âPlease, Jungkook,â you say a few seconds after heâs met your gaze again.
Somethingâs wrong. He feels it in his bones, and he frowns, lowering the arm that was holding the noodles up. âWhatâs wrong?â
âI just had a shit date, and Iâm still hungry. I just want to eat something.â
Hearing that you went on a date does something incredibly ugly to him, and Jungkook takes a step back, handing you the bowl so that he can fold his arms on his chest. âWho did you go on a date with?â
Your answer comes far too quick for it to be normal. âItâs none of your business.â
It dawns on him that he probably already knows, and the sour feeling turns bitter. âPlease tell me itâs not the guy from last week.â
âJungkook,â you firmly say. âItâs none of your business.â
The spike of anger and jealousy forces Jungkook to clench his fists. âHeâs an asshole.â He lets out. âWhy would you go out with him?â
You grit your teeth. âBecause we have history. But I promise you that after the shit date we just had, Iâll never see him again. Happy?â
He isnât, yet he still says, âYeah.â
âNow can I go eat in my room while you guys do whatever it is that youâve been doing?â
You glance towards the living room, and Jungkook looks just in time to see everyone turning their head away from you two.Â
The last thing Jungkook wants is for you to go to your room. Hell, heâd go with you if only to make sure youâre okay, truly okay, yet he canât really do that, can he? So instead, he suggests, âWhy donât you stay with us? To cheer you up?â
You meet his gaze, scanning his features for a few seconds. Jungkook hopes you canât hear his heart beating out of his chest, settling only when you let out, âOkay.â You pause, sighing, and then add, âBut you should chill on the alcohol, you reek of it.â
He narrows his gaze at you, though he has to admit heâs relieved by your teasing tone. Itâs much more like the Y/n he knows, and it stays that way for a little while as you move to the living room, and he sits right next to you.
Almost close enough to touch, but not quite touching. He tells himself itâs just to keep a safe distance, to make sure Jimin doesnât say anything, yet when you joke about the food being too spicy, and Jungkook says, âWe just have to build up your toleranceâ, his hand lands on your thigh, like your thigh was the metal, and his palm the magnet.
He doesnât realize it at first, but when you widen your gaze, looking like a startled deer, his mind zeroes in on the spot where heâs touching you, and he immediately pulls his hand away, his heart beating wildly in his chest.
And then someone nudges him in the back, and he glances over his shoulder for half a second, just long enough to notice Jimin looking at him, and Jungkook knows he fucked up. He fucked up bad, so he moves away from you, forcing himself to lie back down with his head in Lisaâs lap.
It hurts you. He can tell that it does from the way you stiffen, barely even eating anymore, looking like youâd rather be anywhere else in the world than right here. But you have to understand - heâs doing this for your good. Both his and yours, to make sure Jimin doesnât tell Taehyung anything.
It lasts for a little while, you staring at the TV while Lisa runs her hand through his hair, massaging his scalp soothingly - does she notice heâs tensed too? But then Jaehyun asks if you want to drink something, and all the anger and jealousy Jungkook felt earlier when you mentioned your date bursts out of him.
âCareful, Taeâll kill you if you speak to her.â
Heâs been drinking more. Way too much, if heâs honest, and the words come out slurred. Heâs too far gone to care, and he ignores what Jaehyun answers to focus on the TV, on the beer next to him and on Lisaâs fingers in his hair.Â
He wants her to stop. He wants all of them to go, to leave you two alone, but instead Lisa leans down to whisper in his ear.
âWhat happened between you and Taeâs sister?â
The question hits too deep. Nothing happened, he should answer. Yet everything did. Everything fucking happened and it shouldnât have because now he wants you, always. Canât fucking stop thinking about you, and itâs driving him crazy.
He doesnât answer Lisaâs question. Instead, he sits up to take a long sip of his beer, and that is answer enough. Indeed, Lisa sighs dramatically next to him before grabbing her own drink.Â
After that, Jungkook just drinks, which gets him far too drunk. He knows he should stop, but youâre still right there next to him, way too close for comfort yet way too far, and his mind is growing dizzy.Â
It gets worse when you get up to walk to the kitchen after youâve done shots, Lisa following behind you. Jungkook knows he has to follow, yet heâs drunk, and getting up is a struggle, but he eventually manages to push up to his feet.
He walks to the kitchen, stopping right outside as he catches sight of Lisaâs back, and you standing in front of her.Â
âPeaaaach,â he yells, a lot louder than he first intended to. He plays it off by leaning against the door frame as you meet his gaze over Lisaâs shoulder. âWhat are you guys doing?â
Lisa turns. âJust talking.â
âWell then,â he lets out, cocking an eyebrow. âWhy donât you come just talk with everyone else?â
He wonders if he sounds as annoyed as he feels. He must, because Lisa frowns before glancing at you as you stifle a laugh. She sighs, shrugging, and then sheâs walking towards Jungkook. He steps aside to let her leave, offering her a tight-lipped smile on the way.
Once sheâs out and heading back towards the living room, Jungkook walks in, moving towards you.
âIâmâŠâ he trails off, and he loses his balance for a few seconds, catching himself as he stops next to you. âIâm fucking drunk.â
âYou want water?â you offer, and it warms Jungkookâs heart.
Because of course you would take care of him. Which, he reckons, is another reason why he shouldnât stop drinking, because his heart shouldnât warm in his chest when it comes to you.
âWater?â He shakes his head. âNo, I want beer.â
âJungkook,â you scold. âYou donât look like you should be drinking more.â
He snorts, and he steps closer to you, looking down at you where youâre standing in front of him, your pretty face tilted up to hold his gaze. Youâre blocking the way to the fridge, and he clenches his jaw momentarily.
âMove.â
âDrink water first,â you insist, standing your ground.
Youâre too pretty. Too addictive, and his hand finds your waist, pulling you flush against him. You shriek, pushing on his chest, but he doesnât let go.
âLet me get a beer,â he says, and he drops his head to whisper in your ear next. âBefore I do something weâll both regret.â
But youâre so close, the lingering smell of your perfume inebriating, and Jungkook doesnât want to let go of you... Doesnât think heâd regret kissing you, holding you, though he knows that might just be drunk thoughts.
Sober him would hate himself.
âListen,â you whisper, and you fall silent as he ghosts his lips on the shell of your ear. âIâm not drunk enough for this.â
He does it again, and you tilt your head to the side, allowing him better access, a clear sign that you want it just as much as he does.
Or so he likes to tell himself.
âItâs hard to pretend when you look so damn good,â he murmurs, his blood like electricity in his veins. âAlways.â
âJungkookâŠâ
Itâs the plea in your voice. It undoes him, reminds him of your brother, of every little reason why he shouldnât be doing this right now. He steps away, horror itching in his heart.
âSorry,â he apologizes. âWow. Youâre right. I need water.â
He stumbles to a cupboard, grabbing a glass that he then fills at the sink. He drinks it in one go, and then refills it, leaning against the counter to sip on it.
âWhat was that?â you ask as he meets your gaze.
He doesnât know. Heâs just insane - thoroughly, completely insane, and his body seems to think youâre the cure to the madness.Â
He sighs, sucking on his piercings. âI donât know.â
âYou canât do that.â You sound mad, and Jungkookâs heart squeezes in his chest. âEspecially not when there are people around.â
He shrugs, tongue pushing against his cheek. âSorry.â
Your features fall, eyes softening. âItâs okay,â you reassure, though heâs not sure you mean it. âYou just caught me off-guard.â
He doesnât like the sudden softness in your voice, the way it makes him want to cross the distance between you and kiss you dumb. So he does what he knows best, smirking lazily. âLiked it?â
You shut your eyes, taking a deep breath that makes Jungkook think youâre probably about to curse him and his entire bloodline. Instead, your eyelids flutter open, and he doesnât miss the spark of mischief hiding in your pupils.
âSo what if I did?â
Yup. Heâs insane. Heâs mad, crazy, a fool. All the synonyms in the dictionary are not enough to describe the insanity crawling in his blood, in his heart.
âPretend, peach,â he forces himself to say. âWhat would your brother say?â
âHeâd probably say that heâd kill you, right?â you say.
Maybe he needed the reminder. Because Jungkook feels the insanity slip away, clearing his mind.Â
âOh,â he lets out, chuckling. âDefinitely. As a matter of fact, I think Iâm living on borrowed time now.â
You purse your lips. âSo letâs pretend, right? Safer that way.â
He nods. âI really am sorry for that,â he says, meaning how he held you earlier. âI donât know where it came from.â
âDonât worry about it,â you say, smiling softly. âJust donât ever do it again.â
He pouts. âEver?â
You roll your eyes, slightly shaking your head. âStop. Why are you such a shameless flirt?â
He wants to answer, wants to tease you more, but he doesnât have time to as Jimin appears in the doorway, interrupting the moment. It pisses Jungkook off, and maybe thatâs why he returns to drinking. Maybe thatâs why the second everyone leaves, he wants you so bad he thinks heâs about to say fuck it.
Fuck what Taehyung would think.
âI told you,â you say to Jimin as he and his girlfriend get ready to leave. âNow Iâll sleep to the sounds of him throwing up.â
Jungkook hiccups, offense swirling through him. He raises a finger and says, âIâll have you know.â He has to pause as everything spins around him, and he shuts his eyes. âI donât throw up.â
âYeah, yeah, Jungkook,â Sera answers, and Jungkook glares at her.
âLetâs just get you in bed before we leave,â Jimin says.
No. Jungkook doesnât want to go to bed. He wants you, and he wants Lisa to fucking leave him alone.Â
Why is he even thinking of her right now? You might be right - he thinks heâll throw up before falling asleep.
âAnd tell Lisa to stop looking at me like that.â
The words are out before he can stop them, and Sera widens her gaze. âWhat?â
Jungkook frowns as he looks at you. Because youâre the answer to the question, but he canât say that, right?
âI donât know.â
âYouâre fucked up,â Jimin teases before bursting out laughing.
As he laughs, Jimin pushes Jungkook on the shoulder. Jungkook was already unsteady, and he loses his balance, falling against the wall. He lets out a surprised, âOh shit!â, and a second later, he collapses, soon followed by Jimin.
Theyâre laughing, the kind of laughter only alcohol can bring forth, so loud Jungkook can barely hear as you and Sera talk. The only thing he hears is you saying that Taehyung can hardly count as a good influence, which is the most accurate thing heâs ever heard you say.
âHeâs not,â Jungkook agrees, thinking about how Taehyung forbade him to be with you. âYour brother is an asshole.â He pauses, and then bursts out laughing again. You donât say anything, so Jungkook adds, âCan you help me?â
He does grabby hands motions at you, and you scrunch up your nose in disgust. âYou can crawl to your room yourself, JK.â
He frowns, sitting up to lean against the wall as Jimin does so too. Sera helps Jimin up, while Jungkook just keeps staring at you.
âIâll crawl to your room if you don't help.â
You smirk. âAlright, letâs see you try.â
Fuck. He glances towards your door, and then looks at you again. âToo far.â
You look victorious, your smirk stretching into a smile. âThen sleep on the floor.â
âAre you for real?â
You groan, rolling your eyes, but you step closer to him. Jungkook tilts his head back so that he can keep looking at you as you say, âWe should have asked your friendsâŠâ You glance towards Jimin. âYour sober friends to help bring you to your room before they left.â
Jungkook lets you grab his hands. âPeach, I much prefer if itâs you tucking me in.â
You help him stand, and though itâs a struggle, Jungkook is soon up. He wobbles on his feet, and you hold onto his arm like you donât want him to fall again.
âI wonât tuck you in.â
All Jungkook can think of is that youâre so, so beautiful next to him with that flush on your cheeks. He wants to touch you, to hold you, and he doesnât have any inhibitions left. A second later, he cups your cheek, forcing you to meet his gaze. Your eyes widen, surprise making them sparkle, and fuck, he thinks heâs about to kiss you dumb, to kiss you until heâs never said you should pretend nothing happened.
âWhat are you doing?â you ask him.
Jungkook blinks once, slowly, his surroundings coming back into focus. He turns his head towards Jimin and Sera. âShit, youâre still here?â
Heâs stupid. Inherently stupid, and he canât focus on Jimin and Sera as they leave. No, the second you step away from him and his hand hangs in the air between the two of you, Jungkook thinks he becomes deaf. Or maybe heâs just deafened by the thunderous beats of his heart. He only comes back to reality when you step in his line of vision, Sera and Jimin now gone.
âWhat the fuck is wrong with you?â
Jungkook flinches as he meets your gaze. âWhat?â
âNow Jiminâs going to be unto us!â You motion towards the door before folding your arms on your chest. âI know youâre drunk, but youâve got to fucking control yourself.â
âHey, fucking chill out, will you?â Jungkook bursts, only because heâs done.
Heâs done being yelled at, done always being the one in the wrong because he canât do a single fucking thing right in his life.
You cross the distance between you and him as he leans against the wall, smirking at the sight of your anger. Because that anger is something he knows, something he can deal with. You stop right in front of him, finger pointed towards his face.
âDonât tell me to fucking chill.â
âOr what?â he says as he tilts his head to the side.
âOr I donât know, Jungkook.â You shut your eyes, letting out an annoyed sigh. âDonât you care that Taehyung might be onto us because of Jimin?â
He huffs a breath, and you open your eyes. He plays with his piercings, his tongue then pushing on the inside of his cheek. âHe wonât be. Why would he?â He blinks. âBecause weâre hanging out? Nah, we did that even before he left.â
You raise your eyebrows. âNot like that.â
âLike what?â
You sigh again, your annoyance so stark he thinks he can taste it on his tongue and, damn him, itâs turning him on.
âLike weâre friends,â you say. âYou touching me. All that shit.â
âI thought you liked when Iâm touching you,â he says.
You stare at him unblinkingly. âShut up.â
He raises his hands in defense, smirking. âSorry. Itâs hard to help myself when youâre looking at me like that, peach.â
âLike what?â you ask, echoing his previous words.
âLike you want me,â he murmurs, and he gives in to his desire, one finger tapping gently on your clenched fist, before slowly moving up your arm. âLike youâre mad I suggested pretending that nothing happened.â
âIâm not mad,â you reply, swatting his hand away. âI agree with the statement. Heâs your friend, heâs my brother. We shouldnât have fucked at all.â
It hurts. Jungkook doesnât know why, but it does, and he feels himself growing bitter.
Feels himself needing to hurt you, too.
âSee? I knew you saw the wisdom of it,â he says, and immediately hates himself for saying it as hurt flashes in your gaze.Â
It disappears quickly, and you roll your eyes, gently patting his chest.
âThen stop. Fucking. Touching. Me,â you say, tapping on his chest with every word uttered, your hand then resting flat against his beating heart.
Everything in him concentrates on that spot where youâre touching him, on the feeling of your fingers on him, of your eyes in his, and Jungkook feels himself leaning infinitesimally closer.Â
âYouâre the one touching me right now, peach.â
He doesnât let you move your hand away when you try to, putting his hand over yours.
âLet me go,â you breathe out.
He canât. He really canât let you go.
He doesnât want to let you go.
âI really want to kiss you right now,â he whispers.
You step away, freeing your hand from underneath his. âDonât ever tell me that again.â
He knows itâs going to happen. The look in your eyes tells him that you know it, too, despite the words said.Â
âWhy?â
âJust donât.â You scoff. âYou canât kiss me, I canât kiss you, we-â
Jungkook grabs your face, crashing his lips on yours before youâve finished the sentence. Because he can kiss you. Maybe he shouldnât, but he can, and he doesnât want to hold back anymore. Not when you reciprocate the kiss in all its intensity, pushing him back against the wall.
He hits hard, breathing out the air in his lungs. Youâre quick to push your tongue in his mouth, and Jungkook wants to feel you, to taste every inch of youâŠ
But youâre stepping away, and he canât look at you. Not when youâre everything heâs wantedâŠ
Everything he canât have.
âDonât kiss me again.â You say it like you mean it, and then you walk away. He hears your steps, and he only looks up when he hears the door of your bedroom closing behind you, putting finality into the words.
What the fuck has he done?
Read chapter 6 here!

Secondhand Smoke Or Something | R.L.
You invite yourself over to your boyfriend's house to help him unwind after a long day â deealer!remus x fem!reader fluff
warnings: weed of course, talks of masturbation, very suggestive at the end
words: 1k
a/n: I haven't touched my dealer!remus series in like a year and a half but I'm talking to this guy who smokes a lot and he's kinda inspiring me rn lmao... am I cooked??
Remus huffed out a cloud of smoke, his eyes trained on the television that he was barely paying attention to. He was really just trying to unwind after a long day at work, and if that relaxation would come from zoning out while smoking weed, then so be it.Â
As he raised his hand, about to take another drag from his joint, Remus was interrupted by the ringing of his phone. He reached beside him to pick it up and answer with a simple âHello?â.Â
âHi, Remmy.â You replied. âAre you busy?â
Remus immediately sat up at the sound of your voice, ears perking up and a small grin unconsciously gracing his face.Â
âNo, Iâm not busy. Iâm just chilling at home, why?â
âIâm just bored. Can I come over?â
He shot up once more, quickly trying to open up some windows and let out some of the smoke because he knows you arenât a fan of the smell. âYeah, of course. I love when you come over. Itâs just that Iâm smoking right now, soââ
âOh.â Remus introduced you to smoking weed, and youâve smoked with him a few times since, but itâs not an activity you particularly enjoyed. âI donât know if Iâm up to that tonight.â
âNo, donât worry. I was just warning you âcause the place smells a bit now.â
âThatâs okay. Iâm just not looking to get high tonight, so as long as thereâs no bystander effect happening, itâs all good.â
âBystander effect?â Remus asked curiously.Â
âYeah, you know, when the smoke gets you high even when youâre just a bystander to it all?â
âI think thatâs called secondhand smoke, dove.â
You nodded to yourself. âYeah, something like that. So thatâs not gonna happen?â
Remus shook his head. âI wonât let it happen. Iâll even light some candles so you wonât even smell it.â
âThanks, Remmy. Iâll be there soon. Love you.â
He already started looking through his candles and picking a scent you would like. âLove you too. Iâll see you soon.â
Once you hung up, Remus rushed to finish his joint and tidy his flat a bit. It wasnât a pigsty or anything, heâs just been busy lately and hadnât had much time to clean up. He was planning on doing it tomorrow night, but those plans would have to change for your sake.Â
Once the place was sufficiently tidied up, Remus lit a fruity candle he would never buy for himself and looked through his fridge to see what he could offer you when you arrived.Â
He pulled out some fruit, cheese, and other snacks and laid them out on his coffee table. Then, perfectly timed, he heard a knock at the door and rushed to answer it.Â
When the door opened, you saw each other standing on the opposite side of the doorway wearing smiles like youâve been waiting your whole lives to meet here.Â
âIâve already told you that you donât need to knock. You can just walk right in.â
âAnd Iâve told you before,â you kept grinning at Remus, âIâll stop knocking when you ask me to move in with you.â
Sheâs got me there, Remus thought to himself.Â
âDonât tempt me, dove.â He teased. âIâd never leave the flat if you lived here with me.âÂ
Remus offered you his hand for balance as you kicked off your shoes and hung up your coat. You pressed a kiss to his palm as a gesture of thanks before walking towards his couch.Â
âIt smells really nice in here.â You noted. âYou lit the candle I like.â
âI did. I also emptied the ashtrays. I just didnât feel like cooking tonight so I pulled out some snacks. If youâre hungrier, we can just order something in.â
âLong day?â You asked, taking a seat on the couch and holding out your hand, inviting him to sit with you.Â
Remus slumped next to you and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you as close as possible. âYeah. A lot of customers at the bookstore and then it felt like even more on my break when I was making deliveries. Then I just came home and plopped myself on the couch.â
âYou want a massage? Or some wine?â
He shook his head. âIâm holding you. Thatâs all I want.â
And he really was holding you. He was laid back against the arm of the couch with his arms and legs wrapped around your body like a koala clinging to a eucalyptus tree.Â
âOkay, we can just watch a movie and talk.â You said. âIâm sorry for interrupting your relaxation before.â
âYou didnât interrupt anything. I wasnât going to do anything tonight. So the choice was between doing nothing alone and doing nothing with you. Easy choice.â
As much as you appreciated the flattery, you still felt a bit guilty.Â
You shrugged slightly. âYeah, but you were gonna smoke without me here.â
âI did get to smoke a bit before you got here. But really, thatâs all I would have done if you hadnât called.â He paused for a bit before adding one word and trailing off. âWellâŠâ
âWhat else were you going to do?â You asked, turning around and noticing his semi-guilty expression but still not knowing what he meant.Â
âIf I was sober enough to get it up, I was probably gonna jerk off later tonight too.â He admitted, cringing slightly at his own words.Â
You turned more of your body to properly face your boyfriend. Your eyes widened slightly and you made a small pout. âThinking of me?âÂ
âWho else, dove? I would spread out those polaroids we took. Or if the weed made me really lazy, I would just close my eyes and think of you.â
You let out an âawwwâ then manoeuvred yourself higher along his body to press a kiss against his cheek.Â
âRemmy, that is so romantic.â
Remus blushed, likely not anticipating that response from you but being happy with it overall.Â
âWell, now you have the real things so you donât have to use your imagination.âÂ
You snuggled against him once more with your back against his chest and his arms wrapped around you as if nothing had happened, and brought your attention back to the movie playing on the TV.Â
Not just for that reason, but Remus was really glad you came over.

after hours - modern! aemond targaryen x reader
summary: she receives a late night call from her needy boyfriend, aemond.
warnings: 18+, MDNI, f and m masturbation, phone sex, use of sex toys for reader, and I think that's it?
wc: 2,387
masterlist
notes: this was supposed to be a very small drabble lmao. anyways this is kind of unedited. oops
She sits on her bed, a plate of yesterdayâs reheated pepperoni pizza laid across her lap while the television played rerun episodes of Gilmore Girls when her phone rang unexpectedly.
At such late hours she decided to let her phone ring, for if she answered whoever it was calling on the other end would know she was awake and she did not want that. It was probably one of those scam calls that were going around tricking people to give out their credit card information for their own benefit.
Though, she wondered if they knew that she had only ten dollars currently sitting in her bank account after she had spent the last of her savings on pizza.Â
She sighed happily once her ringtone slowly faltered down but it wasnât long before it started ringing again and again. And on the fourth ring she sadly set down her pizza to the side before snatching off her phone from the power socket.Â
Her eyes widen in horror as she views the bold letters of the caller ID. She immediately accepts the call, rushing to turn off the television to give her full attention to her caller.Â
âAngel.â Aemond greeted in a low hum, sounds of metal clanking could be heard from the background.Â
She appreciates that he doesnât sound angry for her lack of response. In the past few months she had the pleasure of knowing Aemond, she had come to learn very quickly that he was not a very patient man. If Aemond wanted something, whether itâd be something materialistic or sexual, he wanted it now in any way possible.Â
âHey Aem, sorry I thought youâd be asleep.â She apologizes, setting a few pieces of loose hair behind her ear. Â
In the other line, she hears Aemond acknowledge her by singing another low hum, something Aemond regularly did that frustrated her. At first she thought Aegon was just joking around when he first set them up on a blind date, that Aemond was a man of a few words and only humming out his responses. But as she got to know him more throughout their dating phase, she realized that Aegon was in fact not joking. It took her months to break him out of his shell.Â
âSo, how are things down south?â She asks, quickly changing the subject to that of his work status.Â
Aemond worked in the field he always wanted to be in; as a high school history and philosophy teacher. Aemond loved his job even if they were students who made it tough for him to educate those who did take their studies seriously. He loved the challenge. He loved being up on his feet teaching the histories of how Westeros came to be or educating the famous ideologies of the greatest philosophers that made Aemond fall in love with the subject.Â
You could say Aemond was a workaholic. There was no denying that. What some teachers considered the best part of teaching was the summer vacations, Aemond absolutely despised it. However that problem would soon resolve after she had called up her uncle Oberyn, who taught gender and sexuality studies at Sunspear University, if there were any positions available for Aemondâs area of degree during the summer. To her delight, her uncle informed her that the university was looking for someone who was fluent in High Valyrian to teach a beginner course.Â
Aemond immediately emailed his resume in and within a few days after his students left for summer break Aemond got on a plane to Dorne and began to work in his new position in a new city.Â
Which was about a month ago.Â
âHard,â Aemond breathes as he licks his lips.Â
âAw, my loveââ She tried to comfort him before she was cut off. âHot,â Aemond corrects himself, standing up from his own bed to retrieve his laptop.Â
âWell Dorne is known to be quite hot. Especially during the summer.â She informs in a matter of fact tone as she toys with the thin strap of her nightgown. âBesides, I thought dragons prefer the heat.âÂ
A low chuckle came from the other end. She can practically imagine the corners of his lips curving up to a smirk. âWe do prefer heat but we are not immune to it as you think. I even purchased three fans to keep myself cool. Though, they do not work for shit which leaves me, as of right now bare.âÂ
She paused, straightening up from the bed. âWhen you say bareââ
âI mean bare as when I came into this worldâÂ
A long silence came afterward, and she could hear the beat of her own heart thumping against the screen of her phone. She looked at her Charlie Brown calendar hung above her nightstand. Once she confirmed that today was in fact the weekend, it became evident why Aemond was calling at such a late hour.Â
Heat began to seep into her lower belly down between her thighs at what she could surmise would happen next.Â
It had been some time since they were last intimate. Forty-two days to be exact; the day before his departure to Dorne.
Aemond and her spent the whole morning, afternoon and night tangled within each other going round after round in different positions and different rooms of their shared cottage saying their goodbyes until she passed out from the many orgasms Aemond gave her. The following morning Aemond threw himself into fits of giggles when she could no longer stand up from their bed to drive him to the airport, feeling sore and bruised from the intensity of the night before.Â
âAngel? Have I lost you?â Aemond asked, snapping her out of her thoughts. She replied with a shaky no before Aemond began to speak again. âHmm then accept my facetime call.â Her eyes locked with her laptop which she did not realize it had been ringing and nervously pressed the green button.Â
Through the low lighted room she could see the silhouette of Aemond. His laptop perched on top of his stomach, his bare and freckled chest full on display. She so desperately wished she was there to roam her hands all over him. And she stifled a moan when she noticed Aemondâs silver hair was pulled back into a braid just as how she liked it.Â
âThere you are my beautiful angel,â Aemond purrs, giving his hardened cock a good squeeze from the base. His eye roams over her clothed figure, taking in her sheer white nightgown that leaves nothing to his imagination.Â
Heats spread to her cheeks, his compliments never tiring her.Â
âYou donât know how much I miss you, angel. Your handsââ On cue her hand slowly waves itself down between her thighs, pushing her lacy panties to the side as her fingers come into contact with her arousal on the way to her clit.Â
âStroking my cock while your lovely mouth sucks me off.â Aemond imagines it all like it was yesterday and his cock pulsed so hard it ached. It wasnât any better when he saw her chest rise and fall with wanton little pants escaping her lips.Â
She was touching herself. Something Aemond warned her not to do in his absence. He wanted to reprimand her for such an act but instead Aemond let her continue as he wanted to watch her unfold and peak especially for what he had in mind.Â
âOh, Aemond, I miss you too.â She whines, throwing her head back into the pillows, struggling to keep her laptop perched ontop her knees. Waves of pleasure move throughout her body, his words going straight to her core.Â
She hears Aemond groan.Â
âYour tongue on my cunt and- andââ Her words stammer and she feels the tips of her ears flush with embarrassment for her next confession. âGo on, angel.â Aemond encourages as he gazes at her reddened state. He finds it endearing and if he was there right now, he would pull away her hand until she confessed.Â
âYour nose.â Â
âAnd what about my nose?â He hums using his thumb to circle the tip of cock.Â
âI-I love your nose on my clit.âÂ
Aemondâs one good eye widened and felt the intense pressure in his lower stomach increase. It was no wonder why whenever he went down on her she screamed the loudest when his nose brushed against her sensitive bundle of nerves.Â
Aemond continued watching her touch and lose herself in pleasure. Intensely watching as her fingers vigorously circled her clit with sweat above her brow. He moaned sweet nothings through his laptop and just as he sensed she was about to peak, Aemond stopped her.Â
She did as she was told and she couldnât help to let out a few tears of frustration.
âGet your buzzy out, angel.â Aemond instructed. Instantly her mood shifts into an excited and eager one.Â
âWhich one?âÂ
âOh you know which one.âÂ
She definitely knows which one. Her hand reaches for the drawer of her nightstand where inside lay rows of different forms of vibrators as well as different sizes and shapes of dildos Aemond purchased within their relationship. Their favorite being a dual pink vibrator that was made to stimulate her g-spot along with her clit. It was also remote and app controlled with multiple levels of speed and vibrations that made her come in less than five minutes. Which was good since it took her a while to come.Â
âGood. Now be a good girl and undress in front of me, angelâ She eagerly nods at his words and sets her laptop in front of her. âLook at me while you bare yourself to me.â Her eyes snap up meeting his darkened violet eye that was full of passion and concentration as her fingers lift the hem of her nightgown.Â
She sees him bite his lower lip once her breasts are revealed. Aemond nods for her to proceed to take off the next piece of clothing and she does so, tossing it somewhere across the room not caring where it lands.Â
Having laid together multiple times, she swallows the need to cover herself and spreads her legs apart just enough for Aemond to gaze through the camera at how wet she was for him. Aemond inhales the desire to stroke his cock into completion. He wanted to see her fall apart first.Â
âNow place the buzzy in your cunt, slowly.âÂ
She rubs the silicone against her slick gathering some of her juices before sliding the thicker part of the vibrator inside. She sighs in relief at the sensation, it wasnât as big and delicious of a stretch like Aemondâs cock but it was just right to feel some satisfaction.Â
She then bends the longest part of the silicone gently against her pulsating clit with needy whines and pants waiting for further instructions.Â
Seven fucking Hells. Aemond curses to himself wishing nothing more than to book a flight back to Kingâs Landing and have her sit on his face licking away her juices. Aemond remembers that in a month that will happen soon.Â
Aemondâs fingers swipe through the different kinds of vibrational settings through the blue hearted app and settle for one with the lowest speed to get her started.Â
Once Aemond hears a series of surprised cries and gasps, he gives up on trying not to touch himself. He starts stroking his cock at a languid pace as he watches his lovely little angel struggle to keep her legs still and open through the camera.Â
âYouâre doing so well baby,â She hears Aemond praise. âTell me does that feel good? Are you close? Answer me, sweet angel.âÂ
She fervently nods her head.Â
âUse your words, angel.âÂ
âY-yes.â She says, barely being able to control words out through the pleasure. âYes, what?â Aemond taunts before he lets out a hiss when the fat head of cock starts to ache more. He knew he wasnât going to last long as he hadnât touched himself so intimately in forty-two days, wanting to also keep good on his promise.Â
âYes, Aemond, it feels so good. I need more please.â While vibrations felt so indescribably good it wasnât sufficient to send her over the edge. She knew Aemond set the vibrator in level one. And in their lovemaking, Aemond usually set the speed at level five which was neither too fast nor too slow. Just right to see stars followed by another round.Â
When Aemond set his laptop to the side, giving her a full view of his proud length standing straight against his stomach, she nearly lost it, clenching the silicone tightly inside her walls. Gods she really did miss him. All of him.Â
She groans loudly when Aemond sets the speed she likes, making her eyes roll at the back of her head, pinching both of her nipples for some extra stimulation but what Aemond says makes her halt and glance at his disheveled state.Â
âFuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Iâm coming!â He moans as she watches his hand stroke his cock vigorously while long ropes of his seed spurt all across his chest and hand. Series of whines and growls leave his lips all while his hips buck upwards at the intense pleasure that makes Aemond cry. Literally cry.Â
She watches all in awe. Â
Saying he looked beautiful was an understatement. No, Aemond looked so godly and ethereal and she understood now the reference that Targaryens were closer to gods than men.Â
Once Aemond steadied himself, the words left her lips without thinking.Â
âThat was quick.âÂ
And before she had time to explain, the air in her lungs left quickly like her words as she felt the most intense and deep sensation between her legs. She let out incoherent noises to which she could not describe. Were they moans? Groans? Cries? She did not know.Â
All she did know was the tightness in her lower belly finally snapped and her orgasm washes all over her like a tide.Â
After a few minutes, she heard Aemond laugh through the screen. âYou were saying?â He teases as he waves his phone around the camera.Â
She feels too tired to reply. Her body automatically feels relaxed and stress-free.Â
âOh, angel, donât get too comfortable. Iâm not done with you yet. Iâm still very hard.âÂ
Oh shitâŠ.
im gonna go hide under my bed now lol

could you do joost x gn reader, but itâs literally just them cuddling in bed during a thunderstorm??
Monsoon Season
Pairing: Joost x GN!Reader (no pronouns used)
CW: none!
WC: 726
AN: such a cutey cute lil concept!! fun fact: i wrote this as it was storming hard as hell outside lmao
Just as you were about to send Joost a text, asking how far away he was, you heard the front door open behind.
As you sat up from your spot on the couch, you were met with Joost standing with grocery bags in his hands, absolutely drenched from the rain.
It had started storming about ten minutes ago and Joost mustâve got caught in the middle of the rain on the way back from a recording session.
âI got the stuff you said we needed for dinner.â Joost gave you an amused smile as he held up the bag.
You immediately got up and went over to him, as much as you tried not to, you giggled at a bit at his soaked state.
âThank you.â You smiled, giving him a small kiss, âNow, Iâll put these away, you go change.â You said as you took the bags from his hands, he just nodded and kicked off his shoes, walking down the hallway into your shared bedroom to change into drier clothes.
You put the groceries into the fridge and kitchen cabinets while waiting for Joost to get finished changing.
You were already done putting everything away by the time he returned, wearing a pair of sweatpants and a green hoodie, camouflage patterns on the hood. His hair had dried a bit more, now messier.
Joost walked up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist, resting his chin on your shoulder.
âBetter?â You asked, putting your hands on top of his.
âMhm, much.â He let out a happy breath. It felt so peaceful in the apartment, the hard rain from outside with the warm light from the lamp in the living room made the perfect cozy atmosphere.
Until a flash of lightning and loud rumble of thunder struck outside, scaring and making both of you jump of you a tiny bit.
âThe weather app said itâs gonna be like this for the next few days.â You sighed, turning around in his grasp.
âI guess weâll be stuck inside for the next few days then.â He moved his hands from your waist to the sides of your face, you nearly shuddered when felt how cold his palms were.
âYouâre really cold. Youâre sure you feel better?â
âI could use some warming up.â He shrugged, a knowing smirk on his face. You rolled your eyes playfully, letting him take your hands and drag you into the bedroom.
You got into bed first, shuffling under the sheets while Joost followed, laying on top of you.
âIâm so tired. Today was so exhausting.â He mumbled against your chest. Joost enjoyed making music, but this feeling wasnât uncommon for him after being at the studio for hours on end.
âHowâs the album going?â You hummed, pulling the blankets up over the both of you.
âIts frustrating. Nothing is turning out the way I want it to.â He let out an annoyed sigh at the thought of it. âIâm honestly just thinking about scrapping most of the songs because of it.â
âOh come on, youâll get them how you want them eventually.â You frowned. âYou always do.â You added, hoping it would bring some relief.
âYou really think so?â
âI know so.â You ran your hands through his hair, he let out a pleased breath and wrapped his arms a little bit tighter around you in response.
Even though you didnât have a good look at his face, you could feel his smile against your skin.
The sound of the rain hitting the window and soft thunder in the distance with the warmth of your body against his and you raking your hands through his hair made him feel the most relaxed heâs been in weeks.
It didnât take long after for his eyelids to become droopy, eventually shutting his eyes in complete bliss.
âI was thinking dinner tomorrow could be pasta. But you might have to go back into the rain again to get the noodles.â You joked, there was no response from Joost.
âJoost?â You said softly, no response again.
Craning your neck a bit to get a better look at his face, you could see he was absolutely knocked out.
His eyes shut, lips slightly parted, face completely relaxed. You smiled to yourself, deciding maybe you could let him sleep for a little bit before you got up.

hii!! i really adored your gyomei fic, it was mwah chefs kiss :D ur blog is also severely underrated like hello??? idk if you do like head cannons for more than one character but for this rq i was thinking gyomei/rengoku/sanemi, you can pick which one you wanna write for.đđ where like the reader is like their secret admirer or vice versa but eventually the reader gets caught by the character and like how does the character react to all of this?? thank you so much & you can discard this rq if u don't wanna do it!! have a good one :)
omg thank you so muchhh! i wasn't sure about that actually, i thought you all wouldn't like it. glad you enjoyed it! i decided to do everyone and the reader admire them, since usually it's the other way around. not confident about this one though. hope it's alright for everyone!
when they caught on to your crush on them.
himejima gyomei, rengoku kyoujurou, shinazugawa sanemi
kinda not sure if i made this right lmao
enjoyyyyyy
himejima gyomei.
he didnât really mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with shinobu and learned that you were interested in him.
he was just there to visit a demon slayer that he saved during his last mission and was sent there to be treated and you just happened to do your follow-up check up to see if you can go to work already, but somehow it ended up with you two sharing getting hooked up in your conversation.
he felt really bad for unintentionally listening, but also a little, just a little, happy he did.
somehow, he finally understood why he heard that coming from you too.
the same sound he hears every time obanai and kanroji are close to each other.
so, it was because of that. he thought he was just hearing things, as ridiculous as it may sound.
you continued to explain to the insect hashira how you found him amazing from the first time you saw him, which was when he saved you from a demon who wanted to devour you as youâre walking home.Â
saying, itâs impossible not to fall in love with the man who protected you and saved you. you also revealed that he was the reason you joined the corps.
hearing how you continued to flatter and praise him without knowing heâs close byâ his feet just wonât move and his brain never got the thought to moveâ he started feeling this unfamiliar feeling.
âdoes she really think of me that way?â he thought, as he looked away, his ear starting to heat up.
he finally got the courage to move to where you two were when shinobu asked you: âdo you have any plans on confessing to him?âÂ
he stopped walking again. he asked himself why, but he couldn't find the answer. was it because he wanted to know too? he had no idea.
âi will. soon. not now, though. soon when iâm standing on the same stage as him. i want to be a hashira first. i wanted to be someone worthy of him.âÂ
your answer made him smile, his heart softened with your resolve.
his heel turned and he walked back to where he came from, still smiling a bit.
next time, when you two encounter again, heâll try to help you and give you tips, so you can achieve your goal, all while he tries to act like heâs not aware of your feelings for him.
the question is, will he successfully act like he doesnât know it?
rengoku kyojurou
he thought he was just overthinking things.
thereâs no way thereâs that difference on how you treat him to other men.
he first took note of it, when heâs eating at your familyâs restaurant, where he usually eats before he comes home after patrolling.
you talk to him with such enthusiasm, joy, and adoration on your face, but when someone calls for you to order, it immediately disappears. giving them a stoic and indifferent look on your face.
he thought that might be just a mistake. thereâs no way thereâs that much difference.
heâs pretty sure of that, thatâs why he put it on a test. he asked one of the slayers he knew to come with him to the restaurant and one agreed to accompany him.
an attractive one, even more.
when they arrived, his subordinate entered the place first, making you greet him with your usual cold tone, but as soon as rengoku stepped inside, your whole demeanor changed.
after that they ordered, rengoku letting him order for the both of them.
you note down what he told you their order, while he seems to be not bothered by casual indifference, thinking that this is just how you usually deal with customers, heâs just happy that the hashira invited him to share a meal together.
but when rengoku spoke, they were both dumbfounded by how easily your mood changes.
when you left to tell the cook their orders, the guy turned to rengoku saying: âwow, she was like a whole new different person.â, he says chuckling.
the flame hashira could only nod, following your figure with his eyes. âdoes that answer my question then?â
he brought along an attractive man, yet that didnât change how you treat him along with the other customers.
would it be alright for him to assume that youâŠ
and as if the guy was going along the cue life had given him asked, âdoes she like you?â, with a big smile on his lips.
he didnât answer, instead he just diverted the conversation into another topic.
now, if youâre thinking that rengoku is the type to straightforwardly ask the person if they like him, then youâre wrong.
heâll actually act as if he didnât uncover a big revelation. heâll still be the same rengoku you liked and would never subtly tease you about your crush on him.
heâll actually start to notice things about you, now that he started to watch you sometimes.
he will try to get to know you better while trying not to be too noticeable.
well, maybe in the future, you two will share a conversation with only the two of you and by then, youâll be able to talk more about personal things⊠like your feelingsâŠ
shinazugawa sanemi
whenever itâs time for the monthly hashira meeting, itâs normal for him to be the first one in order to be the one to greet the master before their meeting starts.
but, lately the new hashira keeps beating him to it. yes, it was you.
even if he tries to arrive there 3 hours before the meeting, heâll find you there already, greeting him with a wide smile on your face.
it wouldâve irritated him whenever you kept interfering with his plan of paying respect to the leader himself, but he canât deny the fact that you were punctual by arriving there earlier than the rest of them.
so, he couldnât really get mad at you.Â
actually, he didnât mind sharing a conversation with you while waiting for the others.
but, the day he realized that there might be a bit more to you going to the meeting early came.
it was when he had an unexpected situation the night before the meeting and had to send his crow to tell the master that he wouldnât be able to come.Â
after a few hours, his crow came back. though it usually just takes his crow to deliver and come back in one or two hours. hm⊠weird, but okay⊠he brushed it off.
the next morning came and when he went to finish things that made him was already taken care of.Â
at that time, he still had the time to go attend the meeting barely before it started, so he immediately headed out.
when he got there, he was surprised to see you taking your time as you walked along the path to the entrance to ubuyashiki's residence.Â
he even thought it was a different person, because thereâs no way you would be here when youâre always so early whenever the meeting is held.
when he caught up to you, because you sure was taking your sweet time, he was certain already that it was you.
âwhat are you still doing here?â, he asked you, speaking suddenly next to you.Â
when he looked at your face, it was a mixture of surprise and shock. you asked him what heâs doing there when he was supposed to be absent for the meeting.
he just explained to you what happened, but he found you not listening and looking somewhere else. confused, he followed your line of sight.
there, he saw his crow, seemingly trying to make a move on yours. he furrowed his head. âwhat is that damn bird doing?â, he thought to himself.Â
âyour crow said you wonât be able to attend the meeting.â, he heard you whispering to yourself. he was immediately hooked on what you said and then slowly⊠he pieced one thing to another.
âdonât tell me⊠did my crow take a detour to your place yesterday?â, he didnât miss the slight flinch you did when he asked the question.
âso, he did, huhâŠâ  he said, nodding. you didnât answer and just looked away, turning your back to him.
but, he realized another thing.
âdid he⊠also tell you about me going to the meetings earlyâŠ?â, he asked while staring at the back of your head.
you snapped your head and shook your head repeatedly. âno!â, you denied with conviction.
he listened while you explained that you heard from kanroji that heâs always early and never forced his crow to tell you anything about him. he watched how your face slowly turned red, rattled about his question.Â
âwhy is she so embarrassed about it? so much that sheâs turning red?â, he thought to himself.
âisnât it good that sheâs trying to be punctual because of him? or⊠is there⊠another reasonâŠ?â
but⊠he doesn't want to think that your reason might be the same as what he was thinking.
âd⊠do youâŠâ, he started, stopping you in your trail of defense.
as he stares at you, his voice seemingly caught in his throat. he tried to speak up and continue his sentence, but he canât appear to do it.
he then shook his head, making you confused.
âno. itâs nothing. letâs hurry up before we get late.â, he brushed off and then started walking again. he also called his crow and told him to stop flirting already.
you just followed behind him. you were aware that he realized it, but wondered why he didnât say anything.
well, itâs because he doesnât believe it.
he doesnât want to admit that he thinks you like him. he should be focusing on protecting the civilians and not mind himself with love.
ah, yeahâ yes, yes, thatâs the reason. thatâs definitely the reason.
itâs absolutely not because heâs flustered and he canât think clearly. yeah, absolutely not.
he might get a bit weird for the next few times when you two meet again, but remember itâs not because heâs embarrassed, okay?!
hope you all liked it and let me know what you think!
also, if you'd like to tip me, you can check my ko-fi acc! anything will be a big help!

âš pairings: Eris x Reader x Azriel (ft. Cassian)
đź preview: Everything about the three of you was very opposite â you were a pastel princess, while the two were dark macabre. And yet the three of you melded together like a melting pot. Eris and Azriel adore their little princess â and would do anything to make you happy â whether it be distracting you from the voices in your head to killing a boy who looked at you a little too long.
đŁ trigger warnings: mentions of blood and killing, Azriel and Eris being overly touchy with our reader, short skirts, corsets, mentions of sex (kind of explicit), pet names: my morose, my darling, sweet angel, temptation (Azriel and Eris to (Y/N)), mia cara (Azriel to Eris), mon cher (Eris to Azriel)
đ rating: PG-13 | đ word count: 3.5k
đ masterlist + notes: Like⊠I love dark gothic and the Addams family is so iconic, love them. So⊠Why not do an Addams Family AU x ACOTAR with our favorite boys Eris and Azriel? They would be gorgeous in macabre â like Eris giving me Morticia vibes, elegant but ruthless while Azriel is big Gomez vibes with the pinstripe suit and cigar in between his fingers; both wearing black, all the while reader being this pastel princess in bright pastels and pinks. Ugh, such a vibe. Iâve never written a bratty reader before. And thank you to @prythianpages (and sorry Hope! I couldnât do the FIRE OF MY LOINSâ as much as I love it LMAO) and @dawneternal for suggestions for the nicknames for (Y/N)!! This fic has a bunch of sexual tension and dark intentions, I hope I portray it correctly. I hope you enjoy it.
A long sigh escaped your lips, eyes staring into the hearth across the room, your eyes distant and your mind racing â a normal occurrence for you. It seemed as if your mind never calmed; voices echoed in your head, real and from beyond the grave â a silly power of clairaudience. You didnât know what to focus on â you didnât even know if the thoughts in your head were yours anymore and you often were found like this, staring into space, eyes unfocused.
You arrived at the spooky hilltop house not too long ago, stepping through the large wooden doors and going through familiar halls and doorways to your favorite little nook in the whole house: a simple overgrown sunroom.
Flopping down on the familiar black gothic couch, you laid perpendicular, body facing the glass ceiling, legs slung over the back of the couch. The hearth across from you roared to life as if the house knew you were home, and that thought made you smile softly. Eyes wandered around you, spotting a familiar book on the side table. You immediately recognized whose book it was â Erisâs. That man loved a good Edgar Allen Poe book, and always seemed to carry one around in his large lithe hands.
Attempting to be as graceful as your lover, you plucked the book from its place, opening the book to read a page of poetry, in an attempt to drown out the voices in your head; however, your mind continued to race, the voices in your head relentless with whispered words.
That lady down the hill⊠she kept sayingâŠ
The girls at work called you â-
People think youâre nothing but a â-
With a frustrated groan, you threw the thick book across the room, hearing the loud thud as it landed a few inches from the fiery hearth. A pout tugged at the edge of your pink-stained lips, eyes shifting from the faced-down book and focusing on the movement of the fire, another attempt to muffle the voices in your head.
Azriel heard the loud thud from the grand staircase and he couldnât help but raise a brow at the sound. His shadows zoomed from underneath his feet, guiding him towards the familiar sunroom, quiet footsteps following their trail. He saw familiar pale legs slung over the black couch, feet bound in pink lolita heels, topped off with a pretty bow, and calves covered in white lace leggings.
(Y/N).
He wasnât aware that you had arrived home, not even his shadows were aware. Usually, you would parade yourself throughout the whole house â practically announcing your presence to your lovers. But the fact that you had arrived at the house, both he and his husband were not aware of your presence in the large house made his heart feel unsettled.
Cradling a glass of wine in his hand, he summoned his shadows back to him as he walked over to the large carved archway and leaned against it, eyes shifting up from your feet to your legs, and just a bit over your knees, before noticing the discarded book near the hearth.
âSweet angel?â he called your nickname and watched as your head popped up, eyes focusing on him and a delicate hand giving him a little wave from your position. He could tell you were too lazy to shift yourself into a proper position; however, he did not mind at all.
He got to see a gorgeous view of your tempting legs.
Though he was quite sure Eris would have a few words about it.
You laid your head back down, head hanging from the edge of the couch, and focused back on the hearth. As much as you loved being around your lovers, your head was far too occupied and all you could focus was on those damned voices.
You didnât even hear Azrielâs footsteps grow closer to you, didnât hear the gentle clink of the wine glass being placed down on the marble side table where the book had laid earlier. But when you felt cold hands on your knees, you were brought back from your thoughts and looked up at your lover, a worried gaze hidden deep in cobalt hues. His hands ran up your thighs, fingers touching the edge of your white tennis skirt, gently squeezing your naked thighs in his grasp.
You shivered at his touches, eyes fluttering close and a deep chuckle vibrated through Azriel â his voice always made your body tingle in the right ways.
But what you were grateful for the most was that when Azriel touched you, the voices in your head stopped â silence finally taking over your brain. And you let out a relaxed sigh, your body becoming putty on the couch, your head slacking over the edge of the couch.
Azriel recognized that sigh and couldnât help but coo, fingers continuing to massage your thighs, his shadows slithering from underneath his fingertips to crawl over your skin, as his eyes looked over your outfit. You were dressed in a pretty white ensemble with hints of pink â a short skirt that stopped above your thighs and an intricate floral corset that hugged your curves in all the right ways. Due to your position, your skirt bunched a bit higher on your thighs, showing the juncture between your legs, with a tiny peek of your pristine white underwear, where he noticed tiny pink bows at the bottom seam. Azriel wasnât sure whether you were trying to seduce him, but he knew from that sigh that you werenât overtly trying to seduce him.
Your brain had just been in overdrive because of your powers.
His eyes traveled from the column of your neck to your face â one full of content and relief. Azriel was glad that he could keep you at peace, he knew how awful your powers could become when your mind was overwhelmed with voices. You had always told him and Eris that their touches were the only thing that kept the voices at bay â and they didnât mind, they loved touching you â whether it be in the most sinful ways or the most innocent ways ⊠but both opt for the former.
âYou feeling better, sweet angel?â he murmured, his voice soft and gentle, not wanting you to be overwhelmed by your senses. He watched as his shadows slithered over your outfit and your skin and your body shivered again.
You nodded, a soft hum escaping your throat as your eyes fluttered back open to look up at him. You focused on his touch, focused on those tendrils of shadow â feeling those calloused and scarred hands squeezing and rubbing your flesh. His hands and shadows were nice and cold against your normally warm skin.
It helped calm your racing mind from those pesky voices that bothered you throughout the day.
Eyes locked onto cobalt hues and he gave you a soft smile, his hands sliding up your sides before grasping your upper back and heaving you up. A squeal escaped your lips as you were brought up to sit at the top of the couch, arms wrapping around Azrielâs strong shoulders as his hands slid to wrap around your waist, keeping you steady.
âThereâs my sweet girlâŠâ Azriel murmured, pressing a kiss on your cheek and you giggled, smelling the fruity taste of the alcohol he was drinking in his breath.
âHi, AzzieâŠâ you greeted him with a smile, snuggling your cheek against his own.
âYou scared me for a moment, I didnât even know you were homeâŠâ he hummed out, fingers slipping underneath the lace of your corset, tugging them to free you from the bindings.
A sigh escaped your lips and rested your cheek on his shoulder, just savoring his touches, savoring the silence of your head â focusing on your lover.
ââŠIâm sorry, AzzieâŠâ you murmured, âMy head was too much, I just wanted the voices to stopâŠâ
ââ-Is that why Erisâs book is on the floor, darling?â he asked with a chuckle, pressing a kiss on your shoulder as his eyes went back onto the book on the ground. He should pick it up and place it where it belongs â he didnât want his husbandâs favorite book to be burnt.
But he couldnât be bothered at the moment â not when his favorite girl was in his arms. And he wasnât mad â how could he be with his darling? He knew you were trying to distract yourself but it wasnât proper etiquette to be throwing things in the house.
âDid you have a tiny tantrum?â
You pouted, bottom lip shaking a bit. You didnât like throwing tantrums, and most of the time it wasnât; however, you were just so frustrated with the voices you just threw the book.
You didnât mean it.
âIâm a good girl, Azzie⊠Always have beenâŠâ you muttered.
Azriel chuckled again at your statement, soothingly rubbing your back.
Yes, you had always been a good girl â their good girl.
Before he could retort that statement, he heard familiar footsteps behind him, his shadows slinking back into his form. Azriel didnât need to look behind him â he knew those foosteps like the back of his hand, âDo you think (Y/N)âs been a good girl, mia cara?â
You blinked momentarily and looked behind him to see Eris stepping into the room, dressed to the nines â a red vest over a pristine white see-through shirt and simple black slacks. You loved how opposite the two men could be â Azriel in his blue and black ensemble and Eris always in some red hue.
The redhead walked over, standing next to his husband as a hum escaped his lips, looking over your outfit.
Much like Azriel, as much as they adored you in black â what they had dubbed family colors â Eris loved you in your pink and white outfits, you were like a candy waiting to be eaten.
But mind out of the gutter, amber hues noticed the discarded book near the hearth and he couldnât help but raise a brow. That wasnât where he had left his favorite poetry book. It didnât take long for the male to connect the dots â the discarded book to the question.
Eris gave a low chuckle, reaching over to run long fingers through your hair, tugging the pretty little pink headband, and watching it drop onto the couch. He smoothed your hair down over your back before he opted to grasp your hips, squeezing them as he stepped closer to you, feeling his husband step to the side to give him room.
âSeeing my book haphazardly on the floor tells me she hasnât been a good girl, mon cherâŠâ he answered, his breath over your features.
You could smell and taste the hint of rose tea in his breath and you couldnât help but lick your lower lips on how alluring Eris was â well practically the both of them were. The way they stood next to each other was practically a painting made by the Gods and you were a mere mortal gazing up at their etherealness. You didnât even care that Eris had voiced you werenât a good girl â your mind had fogged up too quickly at the sight of your beautiful lovers, that you spaced out, staring up at them with wide-doll-like eyes that both your lovers couldnât help but chuckle on how innocent you looked.
âMy morose?â Eris whispered your beloved nickname. That snapped your attention back up at him, your head tilting. It took a moment for your mind to catch up the fog slowly dissipating.
You blinked twice before you pouted, âI have been a good girl, ErisâŠâ you whined softly, a hand unwrapping from Azrielâs shoulder to place on Erisâs muscular upper arms, well-manicured nails gently scraping the sheer fabric, âMy head had too many voices, they wouldnât shut up⊠I tried to distract myself with your book and well â-â
Looking over your shoulder and focused on the book on the ground, teeth biting into your lower lip before you looked back up at your two lovers through your lashes, ââŠI didnât mean to throw it to the ground, Eris⊠I needed a distractionâŠâ
âAnd you didnât bother looking for me or Azriel to help distract you, my morose?â Eris questioned, his voice stern yet soft, understanding why you had done that.
âI didnât even know she was here, mia caraâŠâ Azriel informed his husband, his hand still playing with the straps of your lace.
Eris furrowed his brows as he looked down at you â it was very unlike you to be quiet with your entry. He knew something was up â and from what he could guess, it was due to being overstimulated with your powers.
You pouted again, eyes averting their gaze as your hands slipped from their respected position on both men to play with the lapels of their outfits, ââŠI didnât want to bother either of you. And my mind was just⊠preoccupied by the stupid voices. I didnât want either of you to get mad too because I was so frustratedâŠâ
You heard Eris sigh and his free hand that was not occupied with your waist, which was now joining his husbandâs on your back with undoing your laces, gently grasped your chin to force you to look back up at them.
âWe would never get mad at you for seeking us out to help calm your mind, my darlingâŠâ he whispered, his lips hovering over yours, âYou know that we like helping you, making you feel calm and making those voices stop⊠What we donât like is you trying to solve your problem by yourself⊠Do you understand?â
You nodded and tilted your head up to gently capture your loverâs lips â it was your way of apologizing to both of them.
Eris chuckled into the kiss, the hand on your chin moved to cup the back of your neck to deepen the kiss. All the while, Azriel had finished untying the laces and tugging the corset off of you, leaving your top half bare. You shivered as the cold air of the house prickled your skin, and it didnât help that both of your loverâs hands immediately cupped your breast, their cold fingers teasing flesh, leaving goosebumps along their wake.
A long whine escaped your lips as your head tilted back from the kiss, mouth a gape as the men decided to lean in and press kisses on either side of your neck, their lips pressed against your pulse point.
âSince you need a distraction, our sweet temptation, we can offer our full attentionâŠâ Eris teased.
Azriel chuckled against your skin, teeth going in to bite the junction of your neck and shoulders, while Erisâs hand shifted from the back of your neck to slide to your front and down the length of your body to slip underneath that damned tennis skirt.
And when fingers pressed against your covered core it left you mewling and absolute putty in their hands.
Oh, how Azriel and Eris loved distracting you, leaving your mind empty and wanting â much like the good girl you begged them you were.
âYou know you didn't have to pick me upâŠâ you commented, though you couldn't help but be giddy that both of your lovers opted to pick you up from your little hang-out with your friends.
Azriel and Eris were leaning against the black Hearse â Azriel puffing out a cloud of smoke, a lit cigar between his fingers; Eris held a parasol, shielding himself from the sun. The two men were very stoic but immediately softened at the sight of you practically skipping towards them.
Eris cooed and opened his arms, and you hopped into them, arms wrapping around his waist while his free hand tangled into your locks, lips brushing at the crown of your head.
The two of you were lost in hushed whispers â mostly Eris asking how your little hang out and if you had fun â while Azriel just watched with a fond smile on his features. Two of his favorite and most beloved people â right there.
Cobalt hues shifted from the two of you towards the group of friends that you hung out with today. Azriel knew â oh how he knew â that your so-called friends werenât too fond of you.
Even now he could hear them whispering how strange you were for being part of a throuple. Eyes wandering your form that was practically engulfed by Erisâs large form. And when those judgmental eyes caught with his own, Azriel glared at them and watched them scamper off in fear â all except one.
A boy whose eyes were not on him â but on you. One full of lust and want, a look that Azriel didn't like. He watched those lecherous gazes run up and down your form, the boyâs tongue sticking out to lick his lower lip.
How absolutely disgusting.
Azriel grunted softly, displeased with the development of the day. He wasnât too fond of lingering gazes your way â his precious angel, being ogled at from afar, especially in such a lewd way. At the grunt from his husband, Erisâs amber hues looked up in a questioning gaze. Azriel didnât need to glance at his husband, didnât need to communicate verbally, his gaze said everything Eris needed to know.
Erisâs lips did not move from the crown of your head, his movement inconspicuous to you who was babbling on how your day went. When amber eyes glanced at where his husband was looking at with a cold gaze, Eris felt his chest roar with fire.
Eris gently pulled away, lifting your chin so he could press a kiss on your lips, feeling your hands slide up his chest and wrap around his neck. You were so lost in the kiss that you did not realize that what your lover was doing was a distraction.
Azriel sent his shadows forth, watching them skim across the concrete toward the boy, who feebly tried to run away from them. Before a yell could escape his lips, the shadows consumed him, making him disappear into thin air.
Only Azriel and Eris knew where the shadows would have brought him.
Eris hummed into the kiss, pleased with what his husband did before pulling away from the kiss, amber hues looking over your spaced-out look. How adorable were you. âTime to go home, my morose⊠The pups are in the back waiting for youâŠâ he said with a smirk.
He watched you return to Earth, hearing how the hounds were in the back seat, and he let you scramble out of his hold and hop into the back seats, where the two large black hounds greeted you with face licks, you squeal in delight as you closed the door behind you.
âWill you be joining us later, mon cher?â Eris mumbled, knowing exactly where his husband would be later that evening.
Azriel let out a deep chuckle, leaning over to kiss him briefly, âKeep our girl preoccupied⊠Iâll be there as soon as possible⊠Oh, and make sure you make her moan loud, I would love to hear how well you take her from the cellarâŠâ
Eris smirked, opened the passenger seat, and slipped in, allowing Azriel to close the door. Ensuring his husband was safely inside, Azriel made his way to the driver seat and drove home â the unwanted guest in the depths of the cellar was waiting for Azriel.
âDoesn't she sound exquisite?â Azriel muttered, head tilted back towards the ceiling, listening to the loud moans and whines that came from the floors above â the sounds practically echoing around them. A pleased sigh escaped his lips before those brows furrowed and looked down at the bloody mess of the room â body parts slewn all over the floor, blood seeping into the concrete wall.
Cobalt hues looked his way and the large bulky man stepped from the shadows, âYou know what to do with the body, CassianâŠâ the male muttered, rolling up his blood-stained sleeves, shoulders rolling back and a sigh escaping his lips.
The large man gave a graceful bow of his head, watching the head of the family turn his heels and head up the winding stairs back up to the main floor.
Cassian was the long-time family butler, large and menacing, he fit well within the weird and strange macabre family. He was used to the bloodthirsty and morbid ways of this family, nothing phased him.
Especially when it came to Azriel and Eris's sweet angel.
Cassian quickly realized that his masters would do practically anything for the girl that caught their eye.
Especially murder.
This wasn't the first time Azriel or Eris had opted to dismember a member of society for (Y/N)⊠there were far too many people to count at this point for the butler.
And no one would suspect his masters â they were to quick and clean, and his job? Was making sure that evidence was erased, especially after situations like this.
With bleach and cold water in each large hand, he started to clean the cellar, packing each body part into a separate bag â where he'd feed it to the carnivorous plants that Eris loved taking care of.
They do enjoy it when they are fed humans.

masterlist
You havenât changed out of your work clothes yet, staring at the phone on the wall.Â
It was silent now but it had rung, blaring, louder than you'd ever heard it before. Five times it had rung.
5 callsâ 5 missed calls. Unknown number. No voicemail.
You hadn't picked up. You had just stared, you werenât sure whyâ the ringing scared you. you weren't sure why but every fiber in your being had coloured you stuckâ immovable even if you wanted to do otherwise.
Now it had stopped, empty as vacuum, dead quiet left in the wake of those shrill rings.
And just when you were about to let out a sigh of relief, just when you thought you could finally get to changing out of your work clothes, it started ringing again, your temples hurt from its shrill notes.Â
Your nostrils flared, you will not cower, no, you huff of frustration before stomping towards the phone. Its red plastic is just as bright as it had been when you had first gotten it with Steve.
It's probably just a prank call. It's a prank call. A stupid kid doing a stupid prank call. Why the hell is your heartbeat so loud?Â
You pick up the receiver, gripping it tight, ready to give the prank caller a piece of your mind.
Hello? Hey you stupid shithole, find something better to do with your stupid, pathetic life, why dont yaâ? Good fucking night.
âHeâ hello?â, your voice comes out nowhere near as fierce as you had wanted it to be.
The line is silent for a second or two. But then you hear a gasp and then some rustling, crackle. You strain your ears, the sounds seemingly impossible to decipher, âhello, whoâ who is this?â
You think you hear muffled crying, after a few seconds they finally speak up, ây/nâ, their voice is of a woman's. ây/nââ is all they choke out before breaking out into a sob. She says your name as if she hasn't said it in a long while, as if she can't believe sheâs saying it. And you donât know why but you feel your eyes sting. You press the receiver closer to your ears, the plastic creaks under your grip. you think you recognise her. The realisation hits you that you do. She sounds familiar.
ây/n, my baby whereââ you hear a click, followed by beep beep beep beep, indicating that the call has been disconnected. This time you blink, a tear finally trickles down your cheek. You stare at the receiver, the beeping barely audible. You take in a deep breath, and dial the number again, waiting for the ring or the womanâs voice.
The ring never comes, her voice never comes. Invalid number.
You stare at it. If you were to look any harder, you think the plastic would melt. Too many thoughts were running through your head. And why the hell are you crying?
You hear the jingle of keys followed by the sound of the door opening. You tear your burning gaze away from the phone to the clock. 7:08 p.m.Â
âSteve?â
âYeah!â he answers back immediately, you hear the door shut, the keys in his hand jingle again followed by the clink of them landing in the ceramic ashtray-turned-bowl next to the door where you keep your keys.Â
Any other day you would have walked to him, and even if heâd be in the middle of taking his shoes off heâd stop, give you a loving smile, hold his arms up, ready to engulf you into a hug. Any other day, you would have wrapped your arms around his torso, kissed his shoulder before burying your nose into his neck.Â
He is the only one who could ever fix you, everyday you come from work, bags under your eyes, tired to your bones and everyday he comes and puts you all back together as if it was the easiest thing to do, as if he was made for it. And you want to go to him so bad. Any other day, you would have. But today doesn't seem like any other day.Â
âHey honeyâ, he finally comes around the corner and he gives you that smile you love being on the receiving end of, all lazy and adorning, âhaven't changed out yet?âÂ
You look back down at yourself, and you see that you had still been stuck, body still facing the wall where the phone hung. you indeed haven't changed out yet. You barely shake your head before his brows scrunch up, âYou okay? Your eyes look all redâ
You blink before shaking your head, âUh, yeah, yeah. Iâll go chââ
Ring-ring. Ring-ring.
What you were saying is left abandoned, your head snaps towards where the phone is.Â
âIâll get it. You go change,â Steve tells you, not noticing your immediate panic. As he ambles to the phone, you slowly shuffle awayâ moving towards the bathroom, making sure to listen in on the conversation. âHello?â you hear him speak into the receiver, he pauses for a second and so do you in your tracks, â..oh hey, Henderson'', you breathe out in relief at hearing the familiar name, âYeah, yep, doing good. Howâs the new place treatinâ ya?â
The audibility of his words lessens as you continue on your way to the bathroom. In the small, tiled room, your own breathing echoes, it engulfs you. you immediately regret not just changing in your room because you can't hear Steveâs voice anymore. But you have already locked the door. You werenât sure why you didâ maybe it was your uneasiness and apprehension but normally you never lock the door because your ever clingy Steve loves joining you in, majority of the time there is nothing sexual about it. Most of the time he just stands there by the door, that same adorning smile on his lips.
When you step out of your jeans, it rings in your brain, again and again. The piercing ringing of the phone, the womanâs voice. You know that voice. You know that voice. You know that woman, you are certain. It is like its on the tip of your tongue, like it is obscured behind a frosted glass, like an itch you canât scratch.Â
A knock on the bathroom door breaks you out of your thoughts, âuh honey?â the voice comes muffled through the wood, âAre you done? Need to take a piss.â
âYeah, justââ you quickly hop into your shorts, balling up your dirty clothes and tossy them into the laundry basket before unlocking the door.Â
And he is there, that smile blooms across his face, âthere you areâ, and then his lips are on yours, his wide palm comes to hold your face, thumb rubbing softly at your cheeksâ heâs a tactile being, your boyfriend, loves holding your face, loves holding you, touching you anywhere.Â
When his fingers burrow into your hair behind your ear, you somehow manage to breathe out between the deepening kisses, âThought you had to take a pissâ
âDon't bring up pissing when Iâm kissing youâ
âOh, but its okay when you wanna hold my hand while pooping?â He once told you heâd hold your hand while pooping if youâd let himâ he had been absolutely drunk, maybe high off weedâ inebriated, really and didn't remember saying it the next day. you love to tease him about it. he groans at the mention.
âI was highâ, he whines, embarrassed, âI told you I didn't mean it.â
âDrunk words⊠sober thoughts, honey.â
âYou said it was endearingâ
âIt is endearing but still a weird thing to sayâ, you laugh all toothy and cute.
âWhatever, I gotta pissâ, he mumbles trying his best to hide his smile before moving you by your shoulders to swap places with you so itâs him who is in the bathroom. He shuts the door, the sound of the lock clicking never reaches your ears.
Youâre left alone with your thoughts again, and your smile fades awayâ youâre anxious, you know that much. Youâre not so sure of what exactly. You plop down on the edge of the bed, leg bouncing restlessly, finger tracing over the pattern of the sheets. The pillows and comforter are set up perfectly for the nightâ every morning Steve sets the bed while you shower knowing you always get frustrated with the task.Â
Your back sinks into the mattress, you breathe out, deep and slow, eyes closing on their own accord. You almost fall asleep for a second, but the bathroom door clicks open. A few seconds later, the bed dips beside you, the fabric rustles, âtired?â the question is followed by a groan. When you peak a look, you find him stretching out his arms beside you.
âAbsolutelyâ, you answer.
âYeah, me too,â he sighs out.
âWe still have to make food.â
He lets a frustrated groan tumble from his lips, âcan't we just have mac and cheese today?â
âŠ
The night goes by in a breeze, not a lot of talking.Â
The love is still there though, in the way that Steve holds the corner of the open cabinet door to make sure your head doesn't hit it, in the way he lets you sit on the countertop while waiting for the water to boil over, in the way you stare at him when you think he isn't looking, in the way you pull his hand over your lap and massage the tight muscles of his palm while he stirs the pot with his other hand.Â
You put on his favourite show when he plates the food, he makes sure to put some chives on your plate to make it look a little more pretty for you. You watch the show in silence, eating under the flickering light of the tv. You let it play in the background while you wash the dishes, it is Steve who watches you this time, his head resting against the cabinets behind him. and he thinks he could watch you all day. Something about doing the most mundane things with you makes him feel all warm and lovely. He is sure that past anything grand and dramatic, its the everyday things that show love. He hopes in every world, he gets to hold you and love you. He thinks he'll give it all up just to be with you, just to watch you wash dishes, just to have you sit beside him while he cooks.
When the dishes are done, he makes sure the doors are locked, you turn off the lights and the TV. Before you know it youâre in bed, and before you know it, youâre already falling asleep.Â
âŠ
At first you werenât sure why you were awake. Then you hear shuffling behind you, and you barely even roll over when there is a warm hand on your hip, âhoney,â he whispersâ voice all scratchy and low that makes you melt, you hum for a response, âIâm sorry honey, wake up pleaseâ, his tone is slightly rushed, youâre a bit more awake at that.Â
Barely did you sit up when he engulfs you in a tight hug. You hold him back without a thought or hesitation. Your hand rubs his back, his arms tighten around you, nose nudging into your neck, his skin warm. your fingers find their place in his messy head of hair like they always do, you card through the strands. He pulls you closer, and then you're in his lap. He holds you like a boy holds his favourite toyâ like he doesn't plan on letting go.
âWant some water?â After some time you ask softly. You feel him nod into the junction of your neck.
He loosens his hold on you enough for you to climb out of his lap. Not saying a word, he follows you to the kitchen, and he stays close when you pour him a glass. He is mid-gulp when you ask, ânightmare?â
He nods once, the rogue strands on his forehead bouncing with the movement, and downs the water before saying a soft âyeahâ.You take the glass from his hands and place it in the sink, and lead him back to bed.Â
You brush aside his disheveled hair. You tuck yourself into his side, an arm around him, âwanna talk about it?â you ask softly, fringernails scratching his faint stubble.
In the dim of the room, you see his adam's apple bob. Apparently, he does want to talk about it, because he nodsâ the movement barely noticeable but there. You put your head back on his chest and you wait patiently, trying your best not to fall back to slumber.
It takes him a while before he starts, âYou wereâŠâ his hand moves to hold yours, âyou were sickâin the hospital, these wires and tubes attached to you. Y-You had been there for months. You were sick and you wouldn't talk to me, wouldn't even look at me. Andâ andâŠ. Then theâ the damn heart monitorââ
âHoneyââÂ
His words are frantic and uneven, âI didntâ I didnt know what to do after. I didnâtââ
âSteveââ you hold his face to make him look at you, âI'm here.â
He licks his lips, then swallows, nodding. he pushes his face forward so your foreheads are touching. âI know", his nose is hot against yours, "it was still awful.â
You both lay that way for a while. Your thumb brushing against his red cheek, he sniffles a couple times. you hate seeing him this way, with his lashes clumped together, his beautiful eyes all red. The moisture glistening under his eyes doesn't let you fawn over his freckles like you'd normally wish to.
When his skin is a little less warm, and his heartbeat calmer beneath your fingertips, you kiss him. Your hand snakes up to hold his face. Fingers, softly rubbing over the spot behind his ear that makes him melt. You kiss him all slow and purposefully, so he knows that he has all the time in the world.
When you pull away, he murmurs, âCan we go back to sleep?â he pulls you closer, face burying into your neck, warm puffs of breath against your collarbones.
You land a quick kiss on his eyebrow before resting your chin above his head, ââcourseâ
...
You wake up to the alarm clock on Steveâs side of the bed. He turns off the thing before rolling around in your arms onto his back and then turning his head to face you. âHiâ, he smiles that way again and you do the same, sleepy as ever.
âHiâ, you say still half asleepâ you ended up not getting a lot of sleep last night. Thankfully you had the day off today, so you plan on being unproductive and sleeping it away.
He stretches, a yawn escaping him, âJesus, I so don't wanna go to work todayâ, your boyfriend laments.
You hum, âthen don't goâ you propose, eyes still closed, âWe can both have a day offâ
He turns his body so it faces you, leaning on his elbow. His hand moves to your waist before massaging the love handle there âhmm, tempting. I can't thoughâ
âNo funâ, you mumble groggily.
âHey, don't fall asleep on meâ, he brushes the hair that falls on your face with the back of his hand.
"But âm sleepy", you mumble into the pillow.
"Aw, don't worry, I will kiss it away, honey." He leans down, a smirk painted across his features. His soft lips land on your cheeks first, then one on your nose, they follow a trail that leads to your lips.
You hide your face in the pillow before your lips could meet though, âNo, No kissing!â you giggle, holding up your palm to his face, effectively blocking his attacks, âno kissing before brushing your teeth!"
âYou're no funâ, he rolls out of the twist of sheets. He stretches his arms, the muscles rippling beneath the skinâ he's trying to entice you, seduce you. and if you weren't so damn sleepy, you would have climbed him up like a koala. He gets up to go to the bathroom. When he notices that you haven't moved, he pulls you by your ankle. You let out a surprised shriek that transforms into giggles when you feel his fingers creeping up your torsoâ tickling you. âHere comes the tickle monster!âÂ
A fit of giggles erupts from your throat, "What are youâ", your question gets interrupted by your own laughs.
"The tickle monster will not relent unless you wake up!"
âNo! Okay, okay, I'm awake! Steve! I am awake!â
The two of you share the cramped space of the bathroom. It is small, but its the best you could afford. So when you brush your teeth together, you try to relish it when your elbows bump. And when you're done, he kisses you as if he waited ages.Â
By now, you're a bit more awake so you decide to get his breakfast ready while he takes a shower. It's simple enough, waffles with banana and some coffee. When he comes back out, he kisses you again when he sees you at the stove, this time on the crown of your head.
When he is getting his keys to leave, he gives you another peck, âdrive safe", you murmur against his lips..
âI will. You get some sleep, yeah?â you hum and nod in response. You both bid your goodbyes before he turns to leave.
You decide to eat the leftover waffles and clean up a little before returning to your bed. You make yourself a plate with the bananas neatly cut and placed beside the waffles. You drizzle maple syrup, and then start eating the sickly sweet breakfast, skipping the coffee. While you're pouring yourself a second helping of the maple syrup, the expiration date on the bottle catches your eye. expired more than a year ago. ew.Â
Your face scrunches in disgust before immediately throwing it in the trash. And you wonder how the hell either of you hadn't gotten food poisoning yet. then it hits you, from what you remember you bought that bottle only a couple months ago. Did you buy an already expired one?
You open the fridge, the condiments and bottles staring at you. One by one, you check each and every one; ketchup, expired. Hot sauce, expired. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, milkâ expired, expired, expired.Â
What the fuck?
You throw it all out and make a point to call Steve later to buy everything as he often calls to ask if you had to get something from the store. And that makes you wonder, when was the last time you actually told him he needed to get something?
You try not to think too much about it. Honestly, you don't know what to make of it, so you decide to go back to sleep.
âŠ
You hear your name. Its faint. It echoes. Like a whisper in a church.
ây/nâ, you know that voice. âIâ I know youâre there, y/nâ, the woman says, all shaky but sure. ây/nâ, she repeats. Its that voice⊠again.Â
Who are you?
âIts me, y/n! Its me!â she exclaims as if that would make you remember.
I don't ... understand.
âBaby, just tell me where you areâ I'll find you.â
Iâm home.
âHome? Noâ no baby, youâre not. You haven't been homeââ her voice gets cut off. It becomes too loud. You feel as if the veins in your temple are going to explode. Its too loud to even tell what it is youâre hearing. Its a static like a radio or a TV, or maybe its wind, maybe its cars, maybe its screams. You think you hear sirensâ you wonder if theyâre the police or an ambulance. You hear your own breathing, your own heartbeat. Its deafening. And beneath it all, you hearâŠ.. Ringing.
Ring-ring. Ring-ring.Â
Your eyes fling open and you see your ceiling, you smell the faded mixture of your perfume and Steve's cologne. Youâre in your bed. You still hear the ringing. The phone.
You are up in a second. Rushing towards the origin of the sound. When youâre there, you dont wait a second, the plastic is already to your ear.
âHellâ hello?â it comes out all out of breath and broken.
âHoney, youâreâ you okay?â its not the voice of that woman.
â...Steve?â
âWho else?â, he chuckles, âyou okay?â
âUhâ yeah,âyou clear your throat, âI was umâ sleeping. I think I just had a dream..â your hand creeps up to the back of your neck, scratching there to try to alleviate a little bit of the ache.
âOh, well okay sleepy. I just wanted to check if you need me to buy anything? Like, groceries or whatever on my way back.â you give him the entire list of everything you wanted him to get. You would've talked more if Steve hadn't been interrupted by a customer. Nevertheless, you said your 'I love you's and the call ended.
Your heart is still loud in your ears but the ache has dulled down for the most part.
that voice. that woman.Â
Its me.Â
Iâll find you.Â
You haven't been home.
"Home..", you say out loud to yourself. Home.
...
Hours have passed. you think youâre losing your mind because you have turned the apartment upside down. you're surrounded by boxes, most of them filled with normal things, your tattered rollerskates, shoes, old clothes. Most of it was normal, except one.
One unlabeled box you found in the corner of your closet. You haven't touched that box in ages, not since your fallout with your family, lying out of sight and out of mind. It didn't have a lot, all packed in a hurry. things you'd had in your room. picture frames, some books, clothes, papers.
You pick up a frame. The picture was from when you were a twelve-year-old. Wearing what were your favourite clothes back then, your hair in a manner that made you feel a little sorry. You're so different now, yet somehow its still you. There's your older sister, her braces glimmering under the flash of the old cameraâ her smile wide. Your dad, who doesn't ever know how to pose in pictures. Your mom, she holds you and your sister by your shoulders, a soft smile on her lips, her makeup done perfectly. Another picture from your high school. Another of you with your sister and cousins.Â
You pull out the books, the pages are slightly yellowed and they have an earthy smell to them that you love. Pages you don't remember reading, dog-eared and written in.
Then there's the papersâ some doodles, some notes, a few maps, some scraps and then.... a file. the file that has your name written on it. And when you open it; medical papers. medical bills. They are a little more than a year old. This wasn't a small stay apparently. From what you can tell from the dates on the bills, it lasted months. You don't remember going to the hospital.
Okay, what the actual fuck?
You find yourself reading through all the details of the paper on the floor of your closet.
months. you had been there for months. Steve's dream.
The entire time, you read and re-read the papers. Why don't you remember any of this? Why does Steve not remember any of this? Maybe he does, he had that dream after all, right? Why are there no discharge papers?
Hours pass. It's maddening, how slow the time passes. Its absolutely maddening. What the fuck does it mean that you haven't been home? You are home. and who the fuck was that woman?
You look through the box again, its contents scattered around you by now. The photos. Your family. Your parents. You miss them. You haven't seen them in so long...
Some broken memories have come to you. You had leftâ run away. You don't remember why. Then you met Steve when you were stopping by in Hawkins for a few months. You fell in love so quickly. Then one day, you asked if he wanted to run away with you. He said yes and you both left Hawkins and came here.
You don't remember much after that.
Wait, where is hawkins? and why did you go there?
...
It is 7 p.m. and you are pretty sure you have lost your mind. Why isn't Steve home yet? You need Steve. He's the only one who could ever fix you. And now, you need him to fix you again. You need him to fix this, to make some sense of this.
You are sitting by the door, eyes fixated on the hands of the clock.
7:01, nothing. Your arms fidget.
7:02, nothing. Your leg bounces.
7:03, 7:04, 7:05, 7:06, 7:07; nothing, nothing, nothing.
Then, 7:08 p.m., rattle of keys and the sound of the door being closed. Steve. Steve is home. Steve.
You're up on your feet instantly, Steve comes in holding a bag of groceries in one hand and his keys in the other, âI was so worried about you!â you say all hysterical.
âWorried, why?" he says, almost chuckling, but his brows furrow before he looks down at his wristwatch, shaking his head,"I don't think Iâm late.â He leans in to land a kiss on your lips, but before he could do so, you turn your head away, âwhatsâ whats wrong?â
âCan I ask you something?â you wrap your arms around your torso to somehow collect your thoughts a little better.Â
"Sure", he assures before moving to put the grocery bag on the beige kitchen counter.Â
You follow behind him with hurried steps, "When did we buy groceries before this?"
He starts taking out the groceries, "um.. I don'tââ he pauses, looking up as if trying to remember himself, âlast month probably?" Confusion paints his face, "why?"
"All the stuff in our fridge had gone bad ages ago."
"What?"
âHave you talked to your friends recently? Where are they?â All your attempts to collect your thoughts are all for nought as questions come tumbling out of your lips and you don't even wait for Steve to give a response.
âHoney, why are youââ
âOkay, okayâ what about that nightmare you had?â
âNightmare?â he echoes, brows scrunching together as if he had no idea what you were talking about, âwhat nightmare?â he asks like he hadn't cried in your arms the previous night.
âLast night! You had a nightmare that I was in a hospital andâ and then I was looking through our closet and I find these medical billsâ
âWoah, honey. I didnât have a nightmare. I think I'd remember something like that.. Andâ what bills?â
Your feet are moving before he even finishes his sentence, you grab the bundle of papers, you show him everything. And he just... stares at them. After some time, all that comes out of his mouth is a âwhat the fuck...â under his breath.
âI don't understand Steve, I don't remember, you don't remember. And there was this call yesterdayââ
âCall? whatâ from who?â
âFromâ â you pause, trying to remember, â Iâ I dontâŠâ from who? And then you feel everything you had recalled leaving you. Who called you? What was Steve's nightmare?Â
âI don't remember!" you exclaim, frustrated, "why doâ I'm soâ I'm scared Steve. Iâmââ
âHey, it's okay. you have me honey, you have meâ, he holds you by your shoulders, to provide you some semblance of comfort, "we'll figure something out.â
âSteveâŠ.â, you mumble, tears starting to collect on your lash line, âsomething's not right SteveâŠâ
âIts okay..â
âNo, noâ I dontâ I keep forgetting stuff. Why don't I remember anything?â
âHey, honeyââ
âAnd whatever I do remember; none of it makes senseâ nothing makes sense!"
âIts okayââ
âDo not tell me to breatheââ, âbreathe for meââ you warn him the exact same time he says it.
You have lost it. You have lost your mind. Eyes wide, you ask, âWhy do I already know what youâre going to say? How is thatâ â
âHey, hey look at meâ, he holds your face in his warm palms, âBreathe for meâ, he instructs, âplease honey.â
âSteveâ, you pull his hands away from your face not because you don't want him to hold you. You do, you want him to hold you forever, but dammit, you feel like youâre going crazy, âwhere did we meet?â
âHoneyââ
âWhere did we meet?â
âFamily video! We met in Family Video! You just came in one day and asked if I could help you pick out a movie to lift your mood upâ
âWhere is family video? Like, what town? Whâ what state?â
â..Hawkins, Indianaâ
âSteve.. There's no town named Hawkins in Indianaâ
âOf course therââ
âNoâ no. You can look in a map steve. There was a map in one of those boxes. No town named Hawkins. And thenâ those papers...â you gesture towards the papers in his hand. You stand there, impatiently so, as he scans over the papers once again. For a split second, you think you see a tinge of recognition in his eyes.
âWhat does it mean, Steve? Then your dream last nightââ, he hands you the papers before turning towards the door.
âSteve, hey, steve!â He heads towards the apartment door. âSteve, come back here!â he doesn't stop, doesn't even spare a glance, his movement robotic. Your voice gets louder, more authoritative, angry âSteve! Come back here right the hell now.â
He doesn't stop, not for his keys, not to tie his shoes. Not for you. Tears cloud your vision and your words come out all desperate and weak, âSteve please! Please don't leave me..â
The door slams shut. Its loud, the silence after it.Â
âNo..â you whimper to yourself. Tears, finally streaming down your face.
He'll come back, you know he'll come back, sooner or later. Heâll come back to you. Steve wouldn't leave you. He couldn't.
You wait by the door. hours pass. You fall asleep waiting for him.
âŠ
You wake up to the smell of something sweet in the air. When you open your eyes, youâre on the couch. But you don't have time to think about whether your neck will hurt for the rest of the day because Steve is there, standing over the stoveâ his back facing you.Â
âSteve?â your voice comes out croaky.
âYâwake baby?â he turns to take a glance at you. The furrow between his brows you saw the previous night gone. He smiles softly when you nod dumbly at the rhetorical question, âWell brush your teeth Iâm making pancakesâ
âSteve..âÂ
He notices that you donât move, your gaze fixed on him. âHey, what's wrong?â he leaves the batter he was working on on the counter before walking towards you, âYou okay?â
âIâm sorryâ
He kneels down infront of you, holding your hands in hisâ he smells like vanilla from up this close, âSorry, for what?â
âYesterday⊠I didn't mean to upset you. I justâ I wasââ
âWhat would I be upset for?â
âLast night.. Iââ
âbaby, Iâm not upsetâ
âBut you just left and..â you sniffle, âwhen did you come back?â
âI didn't leave. I was here the entire timeâ, he shook his head, confused.
âButâ I⊠â
âI think you had a dream honey. Freshen up, kay? Iâll bring breakfast. I think we should rot in bed the entire day today. Get some sleep. Howâs that sound, honey?â
You nod, he smiles as he pulls you in for a quick kiss, âGood thing we both have the day offâ thank jesus for sundaysâ
âŠ
7:08 p.m. that is what Steve's wristwatch reads and he is standing at your apartment door. Steve isn't sure why he is back. He isn't sure why he left. Maybe he needed some time. And spending nearly an entire day alone... he remembers things. things he wishes he could forget again.
Although Steve is unsure about a lot of things. one thing is for certain. He loves you. He loves you like he was made for it... and he was.
He was made for loving you and not loving you is not living. He's been there before, not having you to love, he remembers the torture of it. You still don't recall it yet and he doesn't want you to, but he does. He remembers it all. All the hurt, the loneliness, the grief, the silence.
The grief that was too much to bear. Silence was unbearable when it wasn't mixed with your heartbeat.
When he turns the door handleâ the door isn't locked. He steps in slowly.
He can hear the TV playing, you're on the couch. there's someone else with you. Its him.
Steve watches as he sits between your thighs on the couchâ his place, your fingers playing with his hair. He readjusts his head as if canât quite find a comfortable spot, âYou okay?â you ask as gently as you always do.
âUh, yeah its justââ he sounds just like him, âI just have this nick in my neckâ, he says rubbing the back of his neck.
âHere, let meâŠâ you mumble sweetly as your expert fingers move to where he said it ached.
He sees you dig that spot a little with your thumb, âAh, thanks honeyâ he almost melts, and it makes him groan the way that always drew a groan out of Steve.
Steve doesn't mind you made him, you probably didn't even know you did, you're powerful like that. But Steve feels something bubble inside himâ maybe this is what jealousy feels like. Steve watches, watches as you touch him. He digs his nails into his palm, he feels the urge to touch where you are touching him. He wonders what he would feel when his thumb would run over that area.
His fingers rise on their own accord. Skin barely touching skin, almost hovering. And then he feels⊠a bump. He isn't sure how to describe it but he knows that that isn't supposed to be there. Not normally, anyway.
He watches as your expert fingers move up into his hair, he always loved when you did that to him.Â
His own fingers move higher into his hair. He feels anotherâ another protrusion, another bump.
Steve knows what those are, he knows not to press down on them. You have them too. You have them where he holds you when he kisses you. Its the reason you don't remember, its the reason he didn't remember. Just for a day, he didn't have you to hold him like the way you always do and now he remembers.
Steve watches as he leans down to kiss you. And all Steve sees is red. He doesnât have control over him as he stomps over to where the two of you were. Your heads snap towards the sound. Confusion flashes through both your features.
ây/nâ, Steve says. He watches as your eyes flick between himself and the other. Your eyes land on his. Of course you know he is the real Steve. You made him.
He holds a protective hand infront of you, ây/nâ, he sounds like him, ây/n, get insideâ, he nods towards your bedroom door.Â
âLook, man I dont know who the fuck you are. But you need to leaveâ, Steve hates him, he sounds nothing like him. objectively that might not be true, but he isn't him.
âYou don't know who I am? Fucking look at me"
ây/n get insideâ, Steve doesn't like how he says your name, how he shouts it. It sounds nothing like him.Â
Steve lets you go, he doesnât want you to see this.Â
You can't look away despite not being able to see much through the sliver of the slightly ajar bedroom door. It is only when he lands a punch on Steve, that you move away from the doorâ eyes closing on themselves.
You hear shouts. Then thuds, knuckles hitting jaws. Some more thuds and then a loud crack. Then nothing. Its becomes too quiet.Â
You quietly step even further away from the door when you hear footsteps approaching, until you feel your back hit the wall.Â
The hinges of the slightly ajar door creak. and he is there. Your Steve.
He has a split lip, bruises blooming on his cheekbones. Blood splattered on his jeans, on his hands, his arms. He lifts his arm to wipe his bleeding lip, more so smearing the blood in the process. Your eyes water, heartbeat too damn loud in your ears, eyes wide as a doe.
âIt's Steve. your Steveâ, he reassures you, holding your face by your chin. From up this close, the blood on him doesn't look quite like blood. Its too dark, too shiny, more viscous than it should be and it doesn't seem to clot. âIâm gonna take care of you, okay?â
âBut you already know that. dont you, honey?â Steve coos oh so gently as he thumbs over your cheeks to rid you of the tear stains. He feels sorry when the action instead makes the blood on his hands smear across your skin. He regrets it immediately, to have tainted you with it. He is sorry you have to see all this, to see him like this.
Steve knows he'll give it all up for you. If he ever had something to give, he would give it all up, just like you did.
Ring-ring. Ring-ring.
âIt's for you, honey.â
He moves aside so you can go to the phone. It rings loud as it did earlier. You move past the kitchen, you don't see himâ not entirely. He is on the floor, you see his hand around the corner of the kitchen counter, lifeless, a pool of that blood surrounding him. The corner of the kitchen counter drips with the liquid, forming a stark contrast against the light beige.
You move past the kitchen counter, eyes not daring to look at him or Steve, you don't turn around to see if Steve is there watching. You know he is.
You move to the bright red phone that is still ringing, blaring. You pick it and hold it up to your ear, âhello?â
âyâ y/n? y/n itsâ it's meâ, that woman says. And somehow, now, you know who she is. âit's me, do youââ
âMom?â you say it before you even realise you did.
âOh my goodness! Yes baby, it'sâ it's me!â
âIâm sorry mom, I had to.â
ây/n, whatââ
âI have to go now.â
ây/n, noâ no. Please don't hang upââ click.
âThere you go honey", you feel Steve's warm hands on your shoulder, he rubs into the tense muscles thereâ surely staining your shirt with the liquid, "there you go."
You turn around and you see his eyes-- beautiful coffee coloured things, moles littered across his skin just the way you've memorized to heart. That smile, adorning and warm as ever. He holds you like he always does, thumb on your cheek, palm holding your face.Â
He holds you like he was made for it. Your cheek fit perfectly in his palm as if you were made for him. You were made for each other.
You lean in closer and then your lips meet. It isn't hard and fast. Its slow and deep. Like you have all the time in the world, and you do.
When you pull apart and look at him, its just him. Your Steve.
You don't even remember what it was you had been worried about. All you see is Steve, all you feel is Steve. Your lover, your home, your family, your everything. It's all Steve.
You smile up at Steve and everything is right. The blood he had smeared on you was gone. The counter was clean. He was gone. Everything is right, once again.
"So", he starts, walking towards the stove, "what are we feelin' today? pancakes with blueberries, strawberries, or plain ol' choco-chip?"
"Is there an âall of the aboveâ option?"
"For you? always."

A/N: If you guys don't know, Nasty Dog is a song that's been popular lately. It's by Sir mix-a-lot and the song is just good. If you've heard "Ride" or "Baby got Back" you'd know his music. ANYWAY this is a Jake fic. Why?.. Because Jake is a sweet puppy... Who I firmly believe could be a nasty dog... :] ...I just thought it would be fitting, you know?.. You know?
Pairings: Jake x Fem!Reader
Warnings: Smut... Straight filth... No plot Unprotected seggz (My brothers out there, KEEP IT BAGGED. thanks) I probably missed something somewhere... If I did, let me know? Please? Maybe? Perchance? Lmao. Love you, reader. Mwah.
As you lay on your back, your boyfriend stares down at you. The look on his face is a mix of emotions. Hunger, desire, lust. He basically growls as he bends down to kiss your neck, biting a bit before he pulls away.
"Fuck, Kitty... You're so beautiful from here... I could just devour you..." He can't help but huff, trying to catch his breath.
So... You might be curious of how... This... Started. Well, just a couple of hours ago, Jake and you were cuddling. Being cute, nuzzling nose against nose, and you even had a few friends over. They just cringed at you both as friends do, but you knew they were okay with you both.
Now... What started for Jake, was dinner. The entire meal, you kept sending him pictures you took before your friends came over. You in his favorite lingerie had him absolutely insane. He stared at you the whole time and your friends just took it as him admiring his girlfriend. But his head was being flooded with thoughts.
The moment your friends left, he pounced. Those two hours of having to hide his aching and raging boner was probably the worst two hours of his life. He needed you, and he needed you bad. He grabbed your waist and pushed you to the couch. He climbed over you, pulling you in for a deep kiss. One that was sloppy, uncoordinated, and absolutely lustful.
You reach to run your hands through his hair but he doesn't let you touch him, gripping your wrists and pinning them to your sides. "Don't you fucking dare think you're allowed to touch me after the shit you just pulled."
You whimper, but it just fires him up more. He bites down on your lip, hard enough to bruise, before lifting you and carrying you to the bed:
And that's where you are now. He stares down at you and if you were to compare him to anything, it would be a hungry, angry, wolf. One you'd only find at the end of mating season and he didn't get any help through the whole thing.
You'd admit, it was a bit scary. Seeing your boyfriend above you, staring into what felt like your soul. He stared for so long you weren't even sure if he was conscious. You both sat there, breathing.
After what felt like eternity, he leaned down and kissed you hard enough to ensure the bite would bruise. He grips the back of your neck, using his arm to hold himself above you.
You felt him hold back choking you, the way his hand would tighten slightly but he'd flinch back. You tapped his hand and pressed his thumb to your throat.
Thankfully, he got the message... But that was bad for you... Because he immediately moved his hand from the back to the front of your neck, pressing his palm at your throat and his thumb pressing at your vocal cords.
He finally got done kissing you. He pulled back to look at the damage. A busted lip from the bite and a bruise from the pressure. "Fuck, yes... I could get used to seeing you like this, Kitten. Being my little play toy... You wanna be my play toy?" Your whimpers only lead him on more. You cry slightly and he growls, the sound coming straight from his diaphragm. "Heh... Fuck, Kitty... Yeah? You like the thought? I'll make you my play toy, I promise. I'll absolutely ravish you."
He then pulls off your clothes as if it was just another Tuesday for him, leaving you in the lingerie he knew you'd been wearing the whole time.
The moment you're exposed to him, he leans to use his mouth on one nipple as his hand plays with the other. You moan out and it's like music to his ears. He can't help but bite your nipple ever so painfully as you cry out his name.
He finally pulls away after what felt like forever before kissing down your belly to your core. He spreads your legs apart and he uses his middle finger to play with the rim of your opening.
You squirm and try to move your hips for friction. He noticed what you were trying to do, so he pulled his hand back. "Ah, ah, ah, Kitty... You gotta be good for me while I play with you. What kind of play toy fights back? Not you, right? Because you're a good kitten for me?" you can't help but nod and whimper. "Good girl. I knew you'd understand. Be good, lay back, relax, and let me destroy you."
You gasp as he moves his head to your dripping cunt. Your hands fly to his hair and he groans. Oh how he loves the feeling of you hurting him as he pleases you.
He suckles at your clit and bites down a bit as his fingers move to spread you open. He immediately finds your g-spot and plays with it as he basically makes out with your pussy. The more you grip at his hair and scream his name, the harder he sucks and bites your clit.
You feel your stomach tighten and you moan out for him to continue. He knows what you're crying for and pulls away. "Kitty... Kitty baby, you can't cum yet. It's not good to leave me lonely, right? It's rude to cum and leave me blue balled."
You whimper and reach up to touch him. He holds your hands above your head. "Oh baby... Let me hold this control over you. You know you love it."
He pulls back to undress himself. You see his cock spring out and your mouth waters. "Oh? Hungry? You sure look it." He pulls you up by your hair and taps his tip on your lips. The precum coating your lips. "Open up for me, Kitty."
You follow his command, opening your mouth to swallow him. He groans, making you feel like you're floating as he fucks into your throat.
The sheer force of hold he has you in makes you worry about his thoughts, wondering if he's even conscious, but it goes away when he just speaks to you like you're the rarest piece of jewels.
"Fuck, you look so pretty like this it's driving me up the fucking wall, pretty." His hold on you loosens as he nears his end. He cums deep down your throat and as you swallow you can't help but giggle. The look of confusion, clear on his face. "Wh-What? Did I look weird? I-I'm sorry, just... I got really into it anâ"
"No, no, baby. Not that. You looked absolutely gorgeous. Just... You didn't last as long as normal." You giggle more, kissing his hip as he looks away with a flushed face. "Baby? Want me to take over?"
He snaps his head back quickly and immediately shuts that idea out of the window with how quick he was to pull you by the wrist and pin you down. "If you think for one second that I'm not about to fuck the absolute hell out of you, so bad to the point you're screaming my name, you're insane."
You simply just submit to him, ready for him to do as he pleases. He takes that as a sign to continue. He grabs you by your hair and kisses you deeply, pushing you against the bed to hold you down to spread your legs and rest them on his shoulders. "Fuck, kitty... You're so gorgeous... I could ruin you right now and die a happy man."
Your flush is evident, going beet red as your lover stands before you, laughing lightly as you look so cute for him. He rubs the tip of his cock along your opening. "Please, Jake... Just do it, pleasâAh!"
He didn't let you get another word out, bottoming out in one swift thrust. He grips your thighs as he pounds into you at a rapid pace, one you didn't know the human body could go, deeper into you more than you thought his cock could go.
The sounds escaping your mouth as you go into a pit of pleasure, unable to see or think straight, are like the most beautiful melody he's ever heard. He wants you, needs you, to keep making those sounds. He bites down on your calf as he watches shake underneath him, clenching around his cock. He muffles his own sounds, leaving love bite after love bite on your legs.
He moves your legs around his waist before bending down to kiss you as he fucks into you. His entire body heats up as he listens to the smacks of your lips to his and the sound of his balls hitting your ass every time he thrusts. His hand moves between you both to rub your clit, extracting more sounds of pleasure from your lips.
"S-So close!!" You scream out, holding him close. His legs that were getting tired suddenly gained an enormous amount of energy.
Fucking into you at a scary pace, he kissed down your neck biting at your shoulder. "Cum for me, pretty. Fuck, pretty, cum for me. Milk me of everything I have and coat me in all of your pleasure."
You cry out, your orgasm hitting you hard and triggering his. You both climb over the edge together and hold each other close as he helps you ride out your high, before pulling out and laying beside you.
"Fuck, baby... You felt so good, and damn you look so good. Never, in a million years, send me pictures of you in something that fucking beautiful. I almost fucked you in front of our friends, y/n."
You can't help but laugh as you kiss his cheek and hold him close. "Kay... I love you."
"I love you too, beautiful."
I was gonna post this on my birthday... But it's in 2 days sooo... :3 Now's good enough.
It was a bit rushed, I'm sure you could tell.

Hi!! I love your writing and I was wondering if you could do skz reactions to another member walking in on them and their gf doing the dirty? đ
lmao sure anon. Digital footprint go brrr (thank you for the request ily đ«¶)
Fem! Reader X SKZ. MDNI. MDNI. MDNI.
Warnings: Smut, ofc. Kinda explicit?, Unprotected or protected seggs, I didn't specify, swearing, implied vaginal, edging, cum mentions???, Overstimulation, teasing. Am I forgetting any?
Note: I'm not very good with smut BUT this is just a reaction post. I can do better probably. Also, I included some humorous shit because I got nervous. lol. Hope y'all enjoy :)
MDNI!!! Also if smut makes you uncomfy, pls skip (obviously).
â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
Chan
âWhatâs wrong? Canât handle it anymore, baby girl?â Chan teased, pinning you down against the bed as he snapped his hips into yours, eliciting a loud moan that became muffled when he moved a hand over your mouth.
You were almost on the ledge of release and he as well.
You almost didnât notice the door opening in the midst of all of the pleasure between you two.
âOh my god!â
You and Chan both ceased any form of intimacy and quickly scrambled to cover yourselves as Jeongin covered his eyes and turned around.
âJesus, Jeongin! What do you want?!â Chan sounded frustrated at being interrupted.
âI heard a cry, I thought something was wrong!â Jeonginâs cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Chan glanced at you, then back at Jeongin.
âPlease, just⊠get out for a whileâŠâ
With that, Jeongin left without a second prompt.
Lee Know
Minho was teasing the entire time as you begged for him to just insert himself inside of you.
And he did. Slowly guiding himself into your wetness, thrusting once, and then pulling out. You whined, beginning to get frustrated. Minho smirked at this, rubbing the tip against your aching clit.
âFucking hell! Just pleaseââ
âHey, Minho! Do you still have myââ Jisung stopped, immediately going wide eyed and dropping his phone.
âIâm so sorry! I justâ I didnât see anything! Promise!â Jisung frantically apologized, leaving the room.
You exchanged an embarrassed glance with Minho, frozen in place before Jisung came in again, his hand over his eyes as he fumbled for his phone.
âSaw nothing! Just getting my phone!â
Changbin
You already cameâ twice. But Changbin had no mercy. He loved seeing you cum.
And he wanted to make you cum again.
âYou can do it. I know you can.â Changbin gently spread your clenched thighs open again as they shook from your previous orgasm.
âFuck, Changbinââ You squirmed, gripping the bed sheets as he positioned himself over your entrance.
âSay the safe word and I will stop.â Changbin cooed, waiting for a response.
However, you didnât say anything. You wanted to cum again. Right as he slid himself inside of you again, the door swung open.
âOh.â It took Seungmin a few seconds to process what was going on. Seeing you quivering was enough to make him instantly leave the room, forgetting to shut the door in his embarrassment.
You looked at Changbin and said the safe word.
Hyunjin
Hyunjin was gentle every step of the way from the moment you started. He made sure not to grip your hips too tight or thrust too fast or hard unless you asked.
But you hadnât asked, wanting it to be just as special as he did.
âYouâre so pretty like this.â Hyunjin breathlessly complimented you, meaning every word he said. You stifled back a moan, knowing you needed to be quiet during this, especially since the other members were still there, lingering.
You squeezed your eyes shut, on the brink of orgasm but it was delayed and stopped when Hyunjin frantically got off and covered both of you up.
You almost took the blanket off before realizing Felix was standing in the doorway, hand covering his mouth.
Hyunjin rolled his eyes, a bit irritated.
âYou act like youâve never seen two people haveââ
âIâm leaving! I am leaving!â Felix cut him off, shutting the door behind him but accidentally slamming it in the process.
âSorry!â His faint voice called back through the door.
Han
It was your first time with him, although it was a little awkward at first, the more you explored each others bodies, the more comfortable you got with each other.
âI love you.â Jisung whispered in your ear, guiding your hips as you rode him on the edge of the bed. You bit your lip to muffle the moans that left your mouth, feeling your legs shaking the longer you rode.
âI love you too.â You managed to gasp out. Jisung smiled breathlessly before pressing his lips against your neck, softly sucking on the skin between his lips.
You quietly whimpered and gasped, feeling yourself letting go.
âSeriously? Now? Come on!â Minhoâs voice halted you to a stop as you widened your eyes, not wanting to look back at him.
âPrivacy please!â Jisung stammered out, grabbing a pillow and attempted to cover your backside with it. Minho was already on his way out, pausing at the door.
âYou better be using protection!â Then he left. You and Jisung were horrified for a few seconds before laughing off the embarrassment.
Felix
âI am all yours tonight.â Felix leaned back, watching you as you undressed yourself. You walked over to him, straddling him with a smirk.
âAnd I, am all yours.â You gently pushed him to where he was flat on his back. You leaned down to kiss him, slow at first, then each kiss after progressively became more and more desperate as you helped him undress as well.
âReady?â
âYes.â Felix mumbled, taking in a deep breath, wanting nothing more than to see you be the one to take control. You kissed his jaw and down to his neck as he worked his fingers around the clasp of your bra.
You helped him, momentarily pausing and tossing it to the floor beside the bed. Felixâ hands roamed your body, grasping and rubbing any part he could reach before rolling you on your back and spreading your legs apart.
You turned your head, seeing Hyunjin walking in. He didnât seem to notice you and Felix until his eyes landed on your bra.
âHyunjin?â You muttered, feeling the panic set in. Felix didnât see him yet, being more focused on you.
âHyunjin? What does heââ
Hyunjin gasped loudly and quickly rushed outside of the room, causing Felixâ head to snap in his direction.
âOh my god!â
Seungmin
His hands roamed your chest, trailing down to your stomach and stopping on your thighs, rubbing his hands against them as his lips were pressed to your neck. Seungminâs hands inched up towards the top of your thighs before maneuvering a hand between your legs, feeling the damp cloth.
âAlready?â Seungmin teased, his breath was warm against your neck as you softly moaned, slightly bucking your hips against his hand.
Seungmin pulled his face back, glancing down, then into your eyes. âWet and needy. Patience is a virtue, you know.â
You whined, throwing your head back. âI am needy! I need you now!â
You didnât say anything in specific, but he knew what you meant. Seungmin smirked, pulling the cloth down your thighs, taking them off and exposing to him just how wet you were.
On instinct, you parted your legs and leaned back on your elbows as Seungmin placed his hand back where it was, only this time there wasnât a barrier.
âMore?â
âSeungââ
A scream erupted, coming from the doorway where a shocked Changbin stood. His scream was so loud that you scream as well, startled as you closed your legs together. Seungmin got up to block you, still dressed, unlike you.
âChangbin, what the hell?â
Changbin quickly turned around, mumbling to himself as he shut the door behind him.
I.N
Jeongin hovered over you, both of you still dressed, but just as needy for each other as you made out on the couch. Your lips messily clashed with his as his hand made itâs way up your shirt and towards your the hem of your bra.
Your hand moved down his chest and stopping on his stomach while your other hand gripped the back of his shoulder. He began to grind his hips against yours when you wrapped your legs around his waist.
The other members were outside and werenât expected to be back inside for another hour. Jeongin wasnât particularly worried about getting caught as long as heâ and you, were quiet and quick.
You lifted his shirt to remove it. Jeongin removed his lips from yours momentarily and sat up, helping you remove it. He then did the same to you, removing your shirt and leaving you in your bra.
Right as he was about to press his lips against yours again, the sound of collective chattering interrupted you both and soon the whole group entered. No one was prepared for what they just saw.
You and Jeongin scrambled for your shirts, slipping them back on.
âOh my god! Thatâs what the rooms are for!â Chanâs eyes were glued to the floor. In fact, none of the other members were actually looking at you and Jeongin.
They were as flushed as you were, only slightly less.
âOn the couch too?â Minho sighed as Jeongin ran to his room, pulling you with him.
Before the door closed, you heard Hyunjin say, âGuess we have to get the couch cleaned again.â
