Sevika x fem! reader
Warnings / content: 18+ content, brothel worker reader, brief mentions of casual sex with other brothel workers, soft sex, tribbing, Sevikaâs daddy issues, afab reader.
A/N: This is short. I may do more with this trope but it depends on if you guys like this post, idk how I feel about it yet soâŚ
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who is one of the only clients of yours who gives aftercare. Youâre not to used it, most of the guys you sleep with for money only pay you through Babbette and leave. Sevika holds you in her big arms, rubbing your back silently. It's not a comfortable silence, but rather a vulnerable one in which she is afraid to say she feels more.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who previously fucked brothel girls in the most detached ways possible, simply bending them over and leaving afterwards. She knew it was wrong, but sex was just a way to blow steam for her.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who fucks you like you're her wife, though. Smothering kisses all over your shoulder as she moves her hips, she is truly more intimate than any other client is. You're too used to men coming for a blow and leaving, but that isn't the case with Sevika.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who believes "love at first sight" is the stupidest shit she has ever heard of, but... you're beautiful, and you remind her of flowers. Flowers don't usually grow in the undercity, so she simply felt the need to gently pick your petals one by one and water your roots when she finished. You never question why this rather brash-looking woman is so soft for you, but if you did, she would simply tell you she likes "slow sex." If only you knew.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who stopped seeing her other girls a week after you. You filled her mind with visions of rose metals and soft waterlilies, and it didn't help that your perfume smells like a damn flower shop. She finds herself thinking about you only now, to the point that she doesn't care about blowing off steam. You and your sweet hums when she squeezes your waist, your skin so malleable under her touch.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who thinks about more than just the sex. Since youâre a brothel worker, she unfortunately doesnât get much time with you besides that. Still, she thinks about the moments when itâs just quiet between the two of you. The moments leading up to it are stuck in her head like a loop, and she canât help but think about the one time she got bold enough to hold your hand after sex. Much like a flower, you gave her a soft, warm smile. You squeezed her hand, and it made her heart burst.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who wonders why a sweet girl like you works at a brothel. Not that she would ever judge people for that, since she knows from her own experience how hard surviving is. You probably just need to pay your bills, put food in your mouth. She knows that. Still, she doesnât like thinking about how tiring the job must be. Most women she knows who do the job donât seem very happy on shifts, and yet you smile and laugh with her. Could it be that you feel what she feels?
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who eventually stops coming to the brothel to sleep with you, rather finding herself stalling the sex unless you both wanna have sex, and at some point she pays just for sessions of talking to you. She likes getting to know you. She gets excited when you tell her how much you love cooking, and you inform her of your favorite flower. Itâs one you have only seen once, but you hope to see it again someday.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who accidentally tells you she loves you during sex one day. Youâre underneath her as she grinds her pussy against yours, and there arenât any exaggerated moans like you fake with other customersâjust soft, delicate gasps. You seem so caught up in your pleasure, like youâve forgotten this is a job and not..something else that you havenât acknowledged yet. Sevika is mesmerized by your facial expression, too. Your eyes like to find hers and make that connection, and youâve leaned in for soft, intimate kisses multiple times just this round. Naturally, the words slip.
âI love you.â
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who shouldnât be surprised when you say it back, but is. She doesnât have the best self-esteem. For the better part of her life, she dealt with her old man putting her down for everything he could. She got comments on her appearance: her nose, her lack of femininity. All of the things that you adore, thought she struggles to understand how. Still, she wonât refuse your love. She wants you to be hers.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who works her ass off for a single flower. Piltover goods are not cheap, and she was charged extra just because the vendor simply could. But the one flower she could afford is just as beautiful as you described it to her. And of course, it reminds her of you.
ŕ¨ŕ§ Sevika who asks you to actually be her girlfriend with the flower. Itâs not much, and yet you tear up when it happens. She is given the softest hug in return, and all of the soreness in her back from working extra for the flower was suddenly gone. It was all worth it.

friends, besties, worsties, davids, and meow meows of the jury. i have a tale for you. while i claim to be no bard (like saph, the queen of very long dramatic tumblr stories that make your heart weep), i must spin a wee bit of yarn in the form of a story. what story? a story of the green cake.
we shall, as most stories do, start almost at the beginning.
the date? january 2nd.
the time? late.
the occasion? saph comes home the third.
the problem? i have no butter or sugar.
now, saph's birthday was recently, so like any other best bud i said i was making a cake. i believe my exact words were 'i'm making you a cake whether you like it or not."
now, gang, i must level with you. this is the fourth cake i've made in my life. i am a reasonably good baker (i can bake a Mean Loaf of Bread), but i'm not a very experienced baker. 3/4 cakes were reasonably good, and only one was just slightly off. so, my track record is mixed, but i am hopeful.
now, let me take you to the present.
i am sitting at my dining room table, typing this post. i am wearing a shirt covered in flour, the green cake is in the oven.
how did i get here?
well, we won't go to the beginning. we've already seen what was basically the beginning, with me having no butter or sugar. the real story begins the morning of january 3rd. which is today. which is when saph comes home, expecting a green cake. as most reasonably well adjusted people do when their roommates parents are visiting, i stressed cleaned the entire apartment at 4am, after realizing the mice in my walls are fucking. i did not leave them a condom. i did not have one that would fit them. i can only hope they have plan b. so naturally, i went to bed at 6am.
and i still had no sugar or butter for the green cake for saph.
and i needed to get started on this cake before 10am, or saph would be here before it was finished.
and i went to bed at 6am. so naturally i set my 9:00, 9:02, 9:04, 9:06 alarms, and hoped i'd lock in when i woke up.
friends, i hate to admit it, but i did not lock in. nay, i slept through all of my alarms and woke up at roughly 9:45. it was cold, damp, and the mice were still probably fucking. i threw my hair into a messy bun, and ran downstairs, only to find my mom was selling me to one direction.
jk. it was far worse.
because saph said she had sent me something.
what did saph send me?
a full poster of david malukas! do i know why? no! but he lives in my kitchen now, providing me with mental support. thanks david!
so, i begin to make the cake after laughing for about 10 minutes about why david is now in my apartment. it starts off surprisingly well. i have not forgotten the salt.
everything is normal.
until i remember.
the cake needs to be green.
why? idk thats what saph said she wanted so i am just going to do what i was told to do and make this damn cake green.
but its now late in the process, and if there is one thing i have learned in all my years of watching the great british baking show with my mom, it is to never over beat your cake.
and my cake, right now, was perfect. trust me. i ate plenty of dough to know it was wonderful.
so now i am trying to figure out how to make the most perfect shade of nico rosberg green, feeling a bit like an alchemist. david malukas is staring me down. my time grows shorter and shorter with each beat.
and then, gang, i had to give up on this being nico rosberg green. i did not want to kill my cake. my green cake. my now mint-green cake that i am baking for saph. so naturally i'm like, okay, time to pour this.
easy, right?
WRONG.
so one thing to know about me is i suck at cutting things.
it's unfortunately a key ingredient in cake making that you have a stupid little circle on the bottom of your cake tins. i cut it the best i could. which was bad. so i'm already fighting demons trying to get the stupid parchment paper from sliding every which way, and then, my friends, i realized something horrible.
the batter had not mixed at the bottom. so now i was fighting even more demons and trying not to get loose flour in my cake.
i think i succeeded. only time will tell. david is watching. the cake is almost done.
i am setting the green cake free.
look upon him now, and weep. the green cake prevails! even though he doesn't look very green yet.
and now, for the hardest part. frosting.
let's see how that goes.
david still watches.
#from katya#not a tag#im not a tumblr writer by any means but i hope you all enjoy#the green cake saga#david malukas#plays a role in this#somehow

sexcapade
pairing â co-worker!sunghoon x (f) reader
genre .. warnings â smut, professor!sunghoon x professor!reader, infidelity, unprotected sex, sensory deprivation, overstimulation, almost getting caught
summary â with things in the bedroom getting stale with your husband, you start searching for excitement and your co-worker, sunghoon, is more than willing to provide it for you. on campus, you barely acknowledge each other, but in the sheets, you can't stop calling out his name.
wc â 2.2k
a/n â originally posted on my blog revehae, i am not plagiarizing myself. part 1/3 of the in my blood series. as always, feedback is appreciated!
donât like it, donât read.
it started in the spring. like there was pollen in the air, too there was lust, gentle breezes seemingly sweeping you flush against sunghoonâs chest where you could never not inhale the manly scent of him; never not leave with it clinging to you.
you were very aware that it was wrong. matter of fact, every time you laid eyes on your husbandâs face and looked into his, saw how they twinkled at the sight of you and how they were bewitched by the charm of your soul, guilt ruptured your heart with an angry, unmistakable pang of ire.
so you did not think with the throbbing inside your chest, but the throbbing between your thighs.
a woman needed excitement in her life, a kind of which sunghoon was more than glad to offer. sex quickly got boring in the bedroom after so many years of unlively routines and you taught molecular biology to a class of undergraduates that couldnât wait to get the fuck on with their lives. to say nothing of the long nights spent sifting through overdue assignments. you were allowed to have fun sometimes. after all, you were only in your early thirties. you still considered yourself young.
like many other women, specifically younger ones that found him attractive for an older man, you noticed that sunghoon did not wear a ring on his finger. upon further discussion, you learned that though he was no longer married, he had a twenty-something-year-old son who took your class. apparently, his son spoke delightfully of you, which was flattering, but youâd always been more interested in what sunghoon thought.
and you quickly found out.
âhad enough?â sunghoon asked, poking his head through the doorway.Â
not that you could see. there was a blindfold taut around your face, hindering your vision for the past forty-five minutes. to you, it felt like an eternity. the toy between your trembling thighs buzzed, inducing orgasm after orgasm, a number so great that it had tears slipping down your cheeks past the fabric of the blindfold.
speaking of orgasms, you couldnât stop the cry that parted your lips as heat unfurled throughout your body for the umpteenth time, spreading from between your thighs to your head where there was nothing but empty thought and faintness.
âthat was beautiful,â sunghoon remarked, only watching.
âplease,â you croaked.
sunghoon played dumb with you. he had a penchant for it, drawing out your agony by pretending as if he were oblivious to your needs, when in reality he was the most attuned to them. âyou want more?â
âno!â you exclaimed, desperate. you couldnât even feel your legs if you tried, that was how long he had left you here with yourself - and this fucking toy. âplease, no more. itâs too much, sunghoon.â
âbut baby,â sunghoon started, donning his sweetest tone. âyou wanted this. remember?â
that was true. you knew when this affair first started that sunghoon was available to open you up to new, exciting things, because your bedroom experiences with your husband could all be described the same way. though with sunghoon, there was room for variety.
it was just overwhelming sometimes. sunghoon could be so harsh under the guise of merely giving you what he wanted. you knew that it was what he wanted if anything, that you were just his lab rant to experiment on, but you never admit that you liked it that way. nor would you admit that you wouldâve also liked to be a little more.Â
but sunghoon knew that. he never mentioned a word of it, because it didnât need to be said. it went without saying that you were his to do whatever he pleased with.
âsunghoonâŚ,â you trailed, your voice shaky.
sunghoon, ignoring you, asked, âhow many times did you cum?â
you gulped. racking your brain for an answer, you ultimately came up empty. by the third one, time lost all meaning and so did thought. âi⌠i lost count.â
âthen, you know what that means, right?â
you gasped when the toy was moved. not at the action itself, but because you didnât realize heâd gotten so close. his footsteps were so quiet.
âbutâŚ,â you started.Â
âbut nothing,â sunghoon said, snatching the blindfold off of your face. you blinked a couple of times, adjusting to the brightness. the cuffs around your wrists were next. âyou know the rules, donât you?â
you whispered, âyes, sunghoon.â
âhands and knees.â
you didnât hesitate to crawl into the said position, regardless of the exhaustion weighing down your body, because you knew what to expect if you didnât comply with whatever he wanted. there were times were sunghoon was generous enough to let you cum, times where you didnât deserve it, much like now. you wanted to get around punishment, but it would never happen if you didnât satiate him.
the bed creaked when he raised himself atop of it from behind you, the sound of him fumbling with his belt making you wetter. once upon a time, you didnât even think that that was possible, but you never stopped dripping when with sunghoon. somehow, he made even simple things like the anticipation arousing.
sunghoon dropped his shirt, followed by a toss of his pants. he had no need for them anymore. for the forty-five minutes that youâd been ruining his sheets, weakened by the overstimulation, sunghoon had been in his study trying to shake the thoughts of you while he attempted to grade papers. he was already hard from his imagination and the memories of stuffing you full of his cum, but seeing you in front of him, waiting for him, your pussy soaked for him, it did unfathomable things to his cock.
you released a shaky breath when you felt him lubricating himself with your arousal, slipping between your glistening folds, and writhed from the sensitivity. âsunghoon, itâs too much,â you whimpered.Â
sunghoon chuckled. âbaby, iâm not even inside you yet.â
your face burned. you could feel yourself dripping and it was humiliating, because you only got like this for him and him only.
âso fucking wet,â sunghoon cursed, having fun teasing your folds. âjust for me.â
you cried out when he suddenly slapped your cunt, mouth parted as you gasped out, âsunghoon...â
âfuck, you always get so wet for me. isnât that right, baby?â sunghoon asked, enamored with you. it was magical how he could pretend as if you meant nothing to him at work and become so addicted to you when nobody was watching.
you bobbed your head. âyes, sunghoon. just for you.â
that mustâve did it for him, because the very next second, you felt sunghoon finally start to roll inside of your cunt, mumbling curses under his breath. you almost collapsed then, almost slumped and gave out just from the tip of his cock, but you resisted because you had something that you needed to prove.
sunghoon was slow, but his cock slipped right inside you with ease, it was almost pathetic. not to mention that he was bigger than anything you couldâve imagined taking, so much that you always found yourself gasping when you realized that he wasnât completely buried inside of you yet. you couldnât believe that he had so much to give.
âoh my god,â you moaned, eyes rolling back from how full you were. no man had ever satisfied you like this, and sunghoon was just getting started.
not only were you filled to the hilt with his hard cock, but also the ache for him to fuck you until your entire body went numb like heâd already done countless times. sunghoon gripped your hips, using them as an anchor. when you felt so good as you did, as tight as you were, it would be dangerous not to ground himself.
sunghoon grabbed a fistful of your hair, pulling just tight enough to let you know the trip was there. you were basking in his warmth and being crushed underneath his weight while he balanced your hips in one hand and the grip on your hair in the other. he smacked your ass and hissed, âso fucking pretty.â
sometimes you wished that he was yours. you could imagine coming home with him day after day, singing to music in the car together while his company made minutes feel like hours. you didnât mind that he had a son, either. you always wanted a child, though not one that would be the product of shitty sex and a broken marriage.
the liking youâd taken to sunghoon went beyond sex, though the endless orgasms and fulfillment he never neglected you of definitely encouraged those feelings. moments like now, when he was balls deep inside you, you were more than willing to risk it all for him. you would get a divorce. you would move in. anything he wanted, just as quick as he said the word.
i am out of my mind, came your thoughts, though your grip on them slackened the more sunghoon fucked you into oblivion.Â
âitâs so⌠deep,â you gasped, marveling.Â
sunghoon chuckled. though you had never said it outright, your constant fascination with how big his cock was or how deep he could fit inside you, stretching out your velvety tight walls, was more than enough of an indication that your husband was not exactly packing like he was. you made it a point to mention that sunghoon was huge.
âyeah?â sunghoon asked huskily, wanting to suck a bruise onto the side of your throat, but he willed himself not to.
âmm-hm,â you mumbled. âcan feel you in⌠in my stomach.â
âwhere?â sunghoon kept one hand at your hip but dropped the one at your head, wrapping it around you, and reaching for your stomach. âhere?â
you bobbed your head. he could feel it too, and it elicited a deep growl out of him, one that had you clamping involuntarily around his size.
sunghoon could fuck you for hours if you let him. the same way that he was the best youâd ever had, he simply couldnât get enough of you. there were times throughout the day where his mind would only flicker with debilitating thoughts of you, memories of your face and how you tasted. at times, you made it difficult to move on.
âdad,â came a voice from down the hall, one both of you were very acquainted with.Â
âshit,â sunghoon hissed, irritated, and clamped his hand around your mouth. your cries and whimpers were muffled into his hard palm and your breath was cut off, because it was so difficult to breathe solely through your nose. âbe a good girl and keep quiet.â
âdad,â sounded jakeâs voice again, just outside the door.Â
your heart was racing. your eyes were wide, the fear and excitement of getting caught fighting for totality in your icy veins. his son was one of your students and students talked. if it got out that you were having an affair with sunghoon, this could destroy you, but there was something so arousing about the thrill.
âiâm in here. donât open that door,â sunghoon said, breathless voice betraying what was happening behind that door.Â
his son was far from stupid, that you knew all too well, and retorted, âdad, are you getting laid? is it the hot nurse you were flirting with at the hospital? tell her i said âhi.ââ
you frowned.
before sunghoon could even get a word out, his son added, âiâm leaving. you two have the house to yourselves again.â
âbye,â sunghoon huffed, dropping his palm from your face.Â
you inhaled sharply. you could finally breathe again.
sunghoon kissed the back of your neck, nibbling at your ear. âyou did so good,â he whispered, voice gentle and sweet as ever. âif you beg good enough, iâll change my mind and let you cum.â
you hopped at the opportunity like a ravenous pack of wolves starved through the winter, begging with the utmost desperation, âsunghoon, please. please let me cum. iâll do anything, oh my fucking god, i need it. i need you.â
âyou need me?â
so fucking bad. more than anything. âi need you,â you repeated, whinier. needier.
âcum around my dick,â sunghoon commanded, voice deep and throaty and just the way you liked it. you would steal a soul for him if that was what he wanted.
it wasnât very long before one final cry of his name escaped you, pouring out of your lips like honey as you stuttered around his cock, heat spasming between your legs. tears trickled from your eyes, the stimulation from all of the orgasms youâd had in one night alone, and you couldnât stop yourself from convulsing. your muscles slackened and your limbs went limp to your sides.
sunghoon was directly behind you, spurred on by the sight and feeling of you coming undone around him, and you knew when his hold on your hips tightened and that lethal growl parted his mouth that he had met his climax, the feeling of his hot cum seeping into your cunt being the unnecessary confirmation.
âgood fucking girl,â sunghoon praised, still sweetly in your ear.
you sighed contentedly when he flipped you onto your back, sweeping you into his arms and kissing your lips as a treat. he wiped the tears out of your eyes, watching you still shudder.
âstay the night,â sunghoon said, looking into your hazy eyes.Â
you blinked, breathing heavily to catch your breath. âsunghoon, you know i canât do that. my husband will...â
âi wasnât asking.â
âwell,â you replied, quietening. âi guess i can come up with something.â
sunghoon smiled triumphantly, smashing his lips against yours again. you sighed again, still content, though there was a thought lurking on your mind. i donât know what iâm going to do.

omg girl I'd just seen your "squid game women with a timid s/o" , could you do the same but for men? thanksss đ
super shy.
synopsis ⌠squid game men with a timid s/o ę¨ď¸. (or a part two to this.)
pairings ⌠myung-gi, dae-ho, jun-ho, thanos, nam-gyu, min-su x fem!reader (separately)
warnings ⌠fem reader, non game au, some may be ooc but what else is new, i apologize for any typos !!
lovely notes ⌠the post i did with the female characters did surprisingly well omg..
ęŠ [ 857 words ]
myung-gi / player 333 is so similar yet so different from you. heâs not a candid person, but he doesnât always keep to himself.
he tends to keep under wraps but isnât opposed to speaking out around others.
he encourages you to speak up for yourself, though heâs joking the majority of the time. he likes to tease you way too often for comfort.
âyou know you can speak up for yourself, right?â âmyung-gi, leave me the hell alone.â âthis is what happens when i try to help you. so ungrateful.â
he orders for the both of you, so even if you werenât so shy, heâd take upon the task himself either way.
he makes fun of people in awkward social settings to ease your worries. heâll whisper the dumbest jokes ever to make you feel less awkward around the large crowd of bodies.
the both of you just stay near one another while in public. thereâs nothing better than the proximity of a loved one when in the worst possible social setting.
dae-ho / player 388 is your polar opposite. heâs very social, energetic, and forthright.
heâs a social butterfly wherever he goes, and you have the misfortune of constantly being dragged along.
heâs always ready to go when you are. even if he isnât finished socializing, heâs saying his farewells as soon as you tell him that youâre ready to leave.
âhey, you ready to go?â âweâve only been here a few hours. go have fun, baby.â âno, letâs go. i wanna go home with you.â
despite dragging you to every social event ever, heâll speak for you without even thinking about it. even if you can speak for yourself, he talks for you. he always feels slightly guilty for dragging you out of your humble abode to accompany him to his affairs.
he speaks up for you every time, without fail. he defends you, orders your food for you, the whole deal.
jun-ho is your contrast, as heâs far from shy. he isnât always outspoken.
while he has a more free-spoken personality than yours, he has moments when heâs just as reserved as you are.
heâs the first to your defense when he sees someone troubling you. even if you werenât his partner, heâd rush to your defense nonetheless.
âhey, tell me if they say anything else to you.â âof course. thank you, jun-ho.â
the way this man is so protective over you is so nonsensical. heâd be defensive nonetheless, but especially with your timid nature.
thanos / player 230 couldnât be more different from you. heâs the most eccentric and outgoing person you have ever met.
from social gatherings to parties, to any get-together he can find, youâll find him there. of course, he drags you along to wherever heâs going.
he urges you to speak for yourself more often than not. although he doesnât mind speaking for you, a lot of the time heâll put you in situations in which you have no choice but to verbalize.
âseĂąorita, learn how to speak for yourself.â âstop talking to me, su-bong.â
to no oneâs surprise, heâd fight over you if needed. if youâre being targeted, heâd attack the individual without a second thought.
his favorite thing to do is fluster you. compliments upon compliments is all you hear from this man, and itâs all to see you act all diffident.
nam-gyu / player 124 is, like thanos, your polar. heâs a very extroverted person, opposite your timid demeanor.
heâs a very lax, social type of person. he likes to relax when heâs at get-togethers, similar to you.
he loves to flatter you. itâs not even to fluster you, he just wants you to be so conscious of how much he loves you all the time.
âyou look so pretty, baby.â âleave me alone, nam-gyu.â âwhat? i mean it.â
heâs the first person to come to your defense, as expected. even though heâs the type to let himself be belittled, heâd never let it happen to you.
heâs the kind of person you can sit in silence with and not have it be awkward. silence with him is quite comforting.
min-su / player 126 is literally your twin. the both of you are the most reserved people known to man.
the amount of times youâve just sat in silence, enjoying the other's presences is too much to count. the two of you simply sit in quietness.
if it comes to something like ordering food, you often take the initiative because min-su is way too shy for his own good.
âcan you order for me?â âof course, love. i got it.â âthank you so much. where would i be without you?â
the only person either of you is comfortable around is the other. youâre a wreck around others, but itâs absolute tranquility when youâre with one another.
if it came to defending one another, youâd come to his defense without hesitance. heâs more tentative to defend either one of you, so it usually comes down to you doing it.
the both of you are a shy pairing and a very likely couple that surprised no one.

# âHOLD UP, POSE!â ââ .⌠( model!reader x batboys s/o kinda requested ËâĄË )
a/n: so sorry for the break and how i traumatized half of you guys with my rant (if I suffer you gonna do too && letâs move on now ) and itâs lowkeyy funny ngl but omgg, Iâm finally back though soo yeah but Iâm finally taking requests again for a bit too so about that yeah and also make sure to go vote on the poll, weâre at 600+ votes already for my 1k event!! Tags: (batboys x model!reader)
Š dollishmehrayan â ( all rights reserved to me. These works cannot be reposted, translated, or modified. Thank you for understanding dollies! )
DICK GRAYSON ââ .âŚ
Your biggest fan, no contest. He has a folder on his phone labeled âMy Gorgeous Girlâ filled with all your magazine covers, runway shots, and candid photos heâs sneakily taken of you (even the ones where youâre eating pizza in sweats).
Loves to drop the fact that youâre a model into conversations. Someone says something even remotely related, and Dick is like, âOh, that reminds me of the time yn walked for Valentino. She looked stunning. Anyway, howâs your dog?â
Flirty but lowkey jealous. Heâs all smiles at your shoots, but if a photographer or fellow model gets a little too friendly, heâll sidle up behind you, wrap an arm around your waist, and casually go, âHey, babe, everything good here?â
Runs your fan page in secret. He denies it every time, but you know itâs him posting like archive photos of you? with captions like, âTruly the most breathtaking woman alive.â
Always hypes you up. Youâre stressing before a runway show? Heâs holding your hands, looking you dead in the eyes, and saying, âYouâre going to kill it, just like always. Theyâre not ready for you.â
JASON TODD ââ .âŚ
Pretends not to care, but heâs secretly obsessed. Youâll catch him flipping through your magazines with a bored expression, but the dog-eared pages of all your spreads say otherwise.
Gets grumpy when he has to share you with the world. âDo you really have to fly to Milan again? Canât they get someone else to wear the fancy coat?â But heâs the first one to text you after your show with a âYou looked amazing. Miss you, though.â
Always lurking at your events. He doesnât do red carpets, but youâll spot him in the back of the after-party, leaning against a wall with a drink in hand, watching you like youâre the only person in the room.
Jealous but funny about it. If a male model gets paired with you for a shoot, Jason will grumble, âYou know I could wear that suit better, right?â
Says he doesnât care about fashion but definitely critiques it. âThey put you in that? Really? Thatâs what they think is high fashion?â (Meanwhile, he still owns a leather jacket heâs had since he was 17.)
TIM DRAKE ââ .âŚ
The low-key proud boyfriend. Tim doesnât brag about you⌠unless someone else brings it up. Then itâs a full PowerPoint presentation: âOh, you didnât know she walked the Paris Fashion Week finale? Let me show you.â, âitâs not that serious Tim.â
Forgets how famous you are sometimes. Heâs so focused on his work that when he accompanies you to an event, heâs always surprised when people scream your name. âWow, theyâre⌠really excited to see you, huh?â
Pretends to be chill but panics at your shoots. If youâre wearing something too revealing, Timâs sitting in the corner like, âDoes she really need to wear that? I mean, itâs fashion, I guess, but stillâŚâ
Shows up to all your shows with coffee. He knows your schedule can be brutal, so he always has your favorite drink ready and a warm smile. âLong day, huh? Here, youâve earned this.â
Accidentally goes viral as your boyfriend. Someone snaps a picture of him holding your bag while youâre doing a fitting, and now heâs trending as âhot modelâs mystery man.â Or âDrake Spotted With L/N?â
DAMIAN WAYNE ââ .âŚ
Thinks modeling is beneath you. Not because he doesnât support you, but because he genuinely thinks youâre too good for it. âTt. Why waste your time parading around in someone elseâs designs when you could rule the world instead?â
Still shows up to your shows like a proud dad. He wonât admit it, but heâs ridiculously proud of you. Heâll sit front row, arms crossed, looking annoyed until you walk out. Then his face softens, and he claps (but only once).
Hates everyone in the industry. Photographers, stylists, agentsâhe side-eyes them all. âDo they have to touch you so much?â
Quietly supportive in his own way. You come home exhausted, and heâs already brewed your favorite tea and laid out your comfiest pajamas. âYou should rest. Youâve worked hard enough today.â
Keeps all your clippings. You find a scrapbook in his study filled with your covers, tear sheets, and event photos. When you ask him about it, he just mutters, âI didnât want them getting lost.â And even keeps some fan letters that you keep or lost along the way.
BRUCE WAYNE ââ .âŚ
Thinks itâs âadorable.â Bruce canât help but chuckle whenever you mention your modeling career. âYou really enjoy this, donât you?â But heâs not teasing he genuinely admires how passionate you are.
Surprisingly knowledgeable about fashion. He knows every major designer, can spot couture from a mile away, and will occasionally surprise you by saying things like, âThatâs Galliano, isnât it? From the â06 collection?â
Makes every event feel like a power couple moment. When you walk a red carpet together, itâs like the world collectively gasps. He keeps his hand on your back, whispers sweet nothings, and makes sure youâre the center of attention.
Defends your career to anyone who dares question it. Someone makes a snide remark about modeling being âshallow,â and Bruce immediately shuts them down with, âActually, itâs an incredibly demanding profession that requires both discipline and skill. You should try it sometime.â
Buys your agency. Youâre stressed about a bad contract or a difficult agent? Suddenly, Wayne Enterprises owns the company, and Bruce is like, âProblem solved. You can thank me later.â

Bet I
p.2 here
summary: in-ho got a cat, and he needs a cat sitter while he is away on his business trip. who knew that meeting you would turn into a bet, a philosophy of what is moral and what is not?
pairing: hwang in-ho/the front man x civilian!reader
warnings & content: age gap, afab!reader, slightly detailed descriptions of reader's background for plot purposes, red text for in-ho, purple for reader, few mentions of Y/N (again, for plot purposes), pre 33rd squid game, canon divergent
w/c: 2.2k
a/n: i have no idea how many chapters this will have, but i'm trying to write each chapter for each day of the games. it'll all make sense at the end lol. i tried to do as much research about seoul and south korea in general, so please be gentle! i'm just an eastern european gal
tagging: @full-sunnies @xodilfluvr
In-ho got a cat â a green-eyed, silver-tipped Korat he named Eunjoo. He thought about getting a dog, but dogs were high-maintenance, loyal and loving, and his job didn't allow him a loving pet. It didn't allow him to get attached to humans or animals. But Eunjoo was aloof and independent, and only rubbed against his leg when she wanted food. She refused to be handled and rarely played with the toys In-ho got her, but the cat was a necessary soul in his empty penthouse. It still wasn't enough to fill the hole in his blackened heart, but it was better than coming home to nothing and no one.
Trouble came when In-ho had to leave for eight days for the 32nd Squid Game. He quite obviously couldn't bring Eunjoo with him, and he couldn't let her starve, either. Not only that, but her litter boxes had to be cleaned regularly, and she needed fresh water daily, which left him with only one option â getting a cat sitter, as stupid as that sounded. In-ho felt ridiculous typing the post on a website for dog-walkers and pet sitters, but he did it nonetheless.
Businessman going on an eight day trip. In need of an experienced person to do home visits twice a day for my Eunjoo. 30,000 won per day. Based in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.Â
He attached a picture of the cat along with his email, and waited. There was enough time to select a sitter before he left, and he browsed several profiles of pet sitters. Most of them had fantastic reviews, but asked for more money. Typical, In-ho thought. How typical for people to ask for more than necessary. It wasn't as though he wasn't willing to pay more â he had enough money, and would gladly spend it on Eunjoo â but it was the greed that disgusted him. The audacity to ask for 70,000 won a day to feed a cat and change her water was insane.
In-ho closed his laptop and left it on his coffee table in the living room, then walked into the kitchen to feed Eunjoo. She came from her hideout at the sound of a can opening, cautious of her surroundings, then rubbed her head against In-ho's leg, patiently waiting for her food. The cat didn't immediately eat. Instead, Eunjoo waited for her owner to sit down and have his dinner, and the corners of his mouth turned into a half-smile. Better than most people, In-ho thought. She wasn't greedy, she was understanding in ways some humans couldn't be. And so, he reheated yesterday's bulgogi and sat down with a side of freshly cooked rice. Only then did Eunjoo eat her dinner, checking on him from time to time to make sure he was also eating.
Ding!
His phone lit up with a notification. In-ho unlocked it and opened the email he had just received from a pet sitter.
Good evening, sir! My name is Y/L/N Y/N and I would like to meet Eunjoo. I live in Guryong Village and can take the bus to Gangnam-gu whenever you need me to, as I am quite flexible with my schedule, but I need to be completely transparent with you. I've only taken care of my cousin's cat over summer, so I am not the experienced sitter you are looking for, but I am asking you to please give me a chance. Have a good evening!
In-ho scoffed at the words on his screen. He was specifically looking for someone with experience, but he appreciated the honesty. It was a rare trait nowadays, and he was a fair man who gave everyone equal chances. It was the root of his job, after all.
Tomorrow morning, 9 o'clock, Bongeunsa-ro 103-gil, across the street from Shinhan Bank. I'll pick you up from downstairs. Don't be late.
The clack of your heels irked you as you hurried down the street from the bus stop to the address provided by the cat owner. It was a sound you weren't used to, but you needed to make a good impression when lacking experience. People all around you were dressed in expensive suits and dresses, clothes you could only dream of wearing, and the cars that swerved across your path, nearly running you over, looked like they cost as much as your house. It wasn't the first time you walked around Gangnam-gu, but it was the first time you spent more than five minutes surrounded by people who lived lavishly while you survived on Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen Stew.
And yet, you wouldn't trade your instant noodles for samgyeopsal or bossam if it meant selling your soul. Because that was the price to pay for riches and luxury, wasn't it? No, you would make ends meet somehow and live an honest life without becoming a coldhearted monster, just like your father taught you.
You checked that the address in the email matched your location, and waited for someone to talk to you, unsure how they would even recognise you. Although, on second thought, the thin, flimsy cotton of your dress and loose threads around the hem were a dead giveaway that you didn't belong in Gangnam-gu. You didnât belong amongst the rich.
"Excuse me, Miss Y/L/N?"
Turning on your heels, you were met by the darkest eyes you had ever seen, eyes that looked as though they had both witnessed and committed unspeakable atrocities. And yet, there was a strange remorse in them. The man looked around 45 years old but not a single gray hair on his head, which was ironic, because you probably had more white strands hidden in your locks. Your gaze darted down at his extended hand, and you shook it while bowing down as a sign of respect.Â
"You must be Mr. Hwang. I can't thank you enough for agreeing to meet with me. I promise I won't let you down if you give me a chance!"
Oh, you were a talker. In-ho had met your kind before, aimlessly sleepwalking through life, serving no greater purpose except for entertaining those who rid the world of gamblers, addicts, beggars and thieves. Not that you were in any of those categories â In-ho didn't know you that well yet â but the way you presented yourself made him think you would have made a suitable player in the game.It was too late to recruit you now. Perhaps next year, if you made it that far.
You followed Mr. Hwang into the elevator, surprised that it wasn't stopping until reaching the last floor of the building, and when the doors opened, they revealed a small hallway with just one apartment. He had no neighbours above or around him, and you couldnât begin to imagine how lonely it must've been. Surely his wife or girlfriend kept him company, or perhaps he had children â In-ho did look old enough to be your father.
He unlocked the multiple locks on his door â he must have been really rich â and invited you in. For a moment, a split second, you wondered if you had made a mistake coming there. The man could be a serial killer for all you knew, and with almost no neighbours, who would even hear you scream? You heard stories about wealthy people who took pleasure in hurting others. The lack of pictures of a wife or children only strengthened that doubt, but the intrusive thought soon dissipated when, from the corner of your eye, you spotted a silver tail hanging from a dining chair.Â
Paying no mind to the tall double fridge, or the black U shaped velvet sofa that could fit your entire extended family, or even the view from his floor-to-ceiling windows, you kicked off the uncomfortable heels and got down on all fours, crawling closer to Eunjoo before sitting on the tiled floor with your legs crossed. It caught In-ho completely off guard â unpredictability was something that bothered him. Usually when he brought girls over they would bombard him with a million questions about his job, his car, his clothes, his bank account. You didn't, and it both infuriated and intrigued him. But then again, he brought you there with a different purpose.
"What are you doing exactly?" In-ho circled around you like a hawk, watching you intently.Â
"I've read that it's better to allow cats to familiarise themselves with people instead of forcing affection onto them." You sat still, chin tilted upwards to look at him with innocence in your eyes. "I may not be experienced, sir, but I did my research."
He wasn't particularly impressed by your research skills, not even when Eunjoo jumped from the chair and walked around you, curious yet apprehensive. One paw hovered above the floor in mid-air, and her tail was lowered, almost touching the ground, as the cat slowly and cautiously approached you, sniffing the hand you extended.Â
"So, what do you do for a living?" You broke the spell, not on Eunjoo but on In-ho, who was watching you try to befriend his cat. He hadn't realised he had been staring for longer than he should have until you spoke with disinterest in your voice. You didn't really care what his job was.
"Business." He simply said and you chuckled at his response. "Something funny?"
"I'm sorry, I just thought it would be nice to make small talk while we wait for Eunjoo to get comfortable." You shrugged. "But it's fine if you don't want to talk about that, sir."
Sir. It sounded so different coming from you and not one of his subordinates at the facility. In-ho quietly pulled a chair from under the table and sat down, but Eunjoo had finished inspecting you. She lifted her tail, the tip curled â a sign of playfulness â and you scratched her chin.
"Good girl, Eunjoo! I'm sorry, I don't have any treats." You sat up after the cat lost interest in you and hid behind the sofa.
"So you're inexperienced and unprepared." His voice was cold and judgemental and you lowered your head in shame.
"I'm really sorry, sir. I don't have a great financial situation, that's why I need this job. I can water plants and clean the house, I can even do your laundry and iron your shirts, and I don't want any extra money, just the payment for cat sitting." You sounded so desperate it was pathetic. "Please."
The last bit of your sentence was what caught In-ho's attention. No extra money? Who in their right minds wouldnât charge more for additional services? Were you planning on stealing from him while he was away? Not that it mattered â he'd find you and kill you upon his return from the island if you did. However, he found it to be an interesting game, a bet of sorts. You would win if you were honest for all eight days. He would win if you stole from him and abused his kindness.
"You're hired." In-ho nodded, the look of surprise mixed with gratitude on your face making him feel like some sort of god.
"I swear you won't be disappointed in me, sir. I'll leave the house spotless every day, and I will take good care of Eunjoo!" You nodded eagerly, beaming at him.
"I know you will. She takes breakfast at 7 and dinner at 9, and there is an automatic feeder set at 2 pm for lunch." He explained and you took your phone out to quickly take notes. "Make sure you change her water in the morning and at night, and scoop her litter boxes every time you're here."
"...scoop the poop twice a day. Got it." You mumbled while typing. "Do I give her wet food in the mornings and evenings?"
"Yes, and please check that the automatic feeder is stocked. You will find all her cans and kibble in this cupboard." In-ho walked into the kitchen and showed you where Eunjoo's food was. There was more cat food in that cupboard than you had in your house.
"Perfect. Where is the bin room located?"
"Underground. The code is 456654."
"Thank you, Mr. Hwang! I won't let you down. Oh, I should give you my phone number, right?" You asked, feeling a bit awkward for being so straightforward.Â
"Whatever would I need your number for?" He almost laughed.Â
"How else would you see Eunjoo?"
"Right. Forgot about that." In-ho scratched the back of his head. He couldn't exactly tell you that there were cameras everywhere in his house.
"Two more questions. Am I allowed to play music or movies on your TV and could I take a shower after cleaning? I'm bringing spare clothes and my own towel and soap."
"Yes, of course you can. Please help yourself to anything you need. I trust you'll figure out how the coffee machine or dishwasher work." He nodded.Â
"Yeah, I'll figure it out." You lied. You had never used a dishwasher before.
"Great. I leave in three days. Please be here the day after my departure. Here's the spare key."
"Thank you, sir!" You bowed and walked to the door to put your shoes back on. "Good luck on your trip!"
"Thank you, miss. Good luck to you, too."Â
The bet was placed, the game was on.

here's my personal take on this:
The concern over AI very much IS like past freakouts over major tech breakthroughs, like textile industrialization, the advent of coal and oil, the chemical industry, computers, internet, and so much more. Personally, I'm not persuaded by those concerns that were listed:
"pervade our lives" - we already live in an advanced tech age that pervades all aspects of our lives. all of you are reading this on a computer, possibly on a small phone which you keep in your pocket all the time. AI isn't invading space. It's just piggybacking on tech that's already there.
Error rate: A. I fully expect AI error rates to continue to fall. B. Knowing that AI isn't perfect and may require some oversight - just like humans - allows people to still make tremendously use of its output. E.g. A software coder can have an AI do in 10 minutes what would have taken 10 hours. This is useful, even if the coder will have to look through the result and test it out and work out any bugs. This is all the more the case when this is the expectations we already have for people, and the AI can potentially do things which most people can't.
Plagiarism: I think there are some valid concerns here, but I also think this issue is massively overblown for two reasons. 1) Plagiarism is copying someone else's work as your own. AI typically does not spit out copies of other people's work. Instead, like humans, it takes info its acquired over its lifetime of training and uses that to create its own outputs. So I only see plagiarism as an issue in the niche situation where its outputting other people's texts as its own. Further, I expect that issue to get resolved. 2) This assumes that AI will always be trained on "illegally acquired" data. I'm not at all convinced of that. (E.g. there are already photo and video AIs that are being trained on privately owned image/video content, thereby entirely avoiding the plagiarism issues; and as AI/robots continue to grow, they'll be able to collect and create their own data.) Further, I expect that as AI grows, we'll develop legal structures which make it easier to use public data. (e.g. easier ways for people to "opt in" and get paid.)
Environment: I care a lot about the environment but I'm again not worried about this issue. 1) Most tech companies are already working toward net-zero. If the AI requires a state's worth of energy but it's all sourced from renewables or nuclear, I have no major problem with that. 2) AI is getting much better in every domain, including energy efficiency. Just about every week I read about another breakthrough that will soon massively reduce computing costs. (I have a few examples in a post here.) This is a trend which has been going on for literal decades. 3) I want to see a future where, for instance, everyone can get all the medical care they need. To get there, we could expand the population and train a LOT more doctors or we can improve AI. Of the two options, the AI one is a lot faster and more resource efficient (more on that in a second). 4) AI itself is helping us progress for all three of those previous points. The issue with AI isn't its resource needs (which again, are very low compared to humans). The issue is scale. For instance, let's say we create and AI doctor with a resource footprint that's 1/10th that of a human doctor. That's a 90% resource reduction. Great! BUT, the issue is that now everyone on earth will want their own digital doctor. To put the numbers crudely: If 8 billion people each have a digital doctor with 1/10th the footprint, that's like adding 800 million people to our resource budget. So even though the AI is much more efficient and massively growing it's healthcare output, it's still also massively growing our footprint. The issue isn't the application but the scale of application. And frankly, that's been an issue with most of our tech in modern times. When our species only had a million members, it didn't matter if they felled trees or burnt coal bc it didn't add up to much. These days, even when our processes are super efficient, the issue is that there's literally billions of us. As an example, consider hamburgers. Most of us like burgers and buy them regularly, esp as americans. I'd guess that at least 90% of people who are concerned with AI's footprint also eat burgers - even though burgers are currently much more resource heavy than AI. E.g. The average person eats 50kg of meat a year, with a co2 footprint of 3,000kg. In contrast, today, the average person has an AI-based CO2 footprint of 3.5kg per year. And unlike meat, AI is getting more energy efficient. (I got a cool post with some comparison stats here.) So I think the issue here is scale, but again, I think that will be solved by sustainable energy sources and continued computing efficiency gains.
So it's not that I think these issues aren't important, but that I think they're often overblown, taken out of context, and don't take into account tech trends on efficiency.
Personally, I'm really excited about a future where everyone is fed, everyone is housed, and everyone has healthcare. I'm excited about robots helping people with disabilities or helping to repair the ecosystem. I'm excited for radical advancements in medicine like curing all cancers, healing the blind or deaf, and so many more illnesses. I'm excited for a time when we create art for art's sake and not capitalism's sake. I'm excited for a time when no-one *has* to work anymore. But the only way for us to no longer need jobs is for us all to lose our jobs to AI and to restructure our society toward a post-labor future.
'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

Steal Your Way To My Heart - N.R (Part 4)
P: Bankrobber! Ni-ki X Fem!Reader
Warnings: Murder, Violence, Blood, Angst, Kidnapping, Seperation Anxiety?, Ni-ki just wanna spoil you.
Synopsis: Your life was boringâuntil a visit to the bank changes everything. Now you find yourself under the attention of one of the criminals. Now what do you do when the criminal's attention isn't just on the job but on you?
a/n: okay, so by popular vote, i delivered :) this was supposed to be posted long time ago, but moms turkish drama kept distracting me and had some relationship issues >:(
part 1 part 2 part 3
--
So you were officially Ni-kiâs girlfriend. And things were... surprisingly good. After that heist, he seemed to tone things down. Gone were the days of reckless, dangerous heists; now, he was the boyfriend you never expectedâsomeone who picked you up from work or school, bought you your favorite flowers, and took you out on regular dates, always paying for the bill without a second thought.
He was thoughtful, attentive, but still had that intensity about him that kept you on your toes. But it wasnât all just normal date nights and sweet moments. Ni-ki had an eye for luxury, and he wasted no time in decking you out in designer clothes and diamonds. Most of it you didnât really useâyou only wore the pieces that you truly lovedâbut you had to admit, his taste was impeccable. He knew exactly what suited you.
And like him, you found yourself matching with him often. Heâd buy you clothes from the same brands he adoredâmainly Chrome Heartsâand soon enough, you both became a walking, matching advertisement for the brand, with your outfits perfectly coordinated. Every time you looked in the mirror, you couldnât help but appreciate how well everything fit. The diamonds glittered just as much as the smile Ni-ki gave you when he saw you in them.
But you always took a moment to remind him that you werenât with him for the money. It wasnât the luxury or the endless pampering that had won your heart, although you couldnât deny you enjoyed it. No, you loved Ni-ki for who he was.
âNi-ki,â you would say, catching his gaze as you adjusted the diamond necklace he had given you, âI donât need all this.â You gestured to the designer clothes and the jewelry. âI love everything you get me, even if its something simple.â
He would smile, a genuine smile that reached his eyes, and pull you into a gentle embrace. âI know,â heâd reply, his voice soft and warm. âBut I still want to spoil you.â
And he did. Ni-ki was everything you could have wanted in a man and more. He was protective, attentive, and incredibly loving in his own way. He listened when you talked about your day, made sure you had everything you needed, and never hesitated to show you just how much you meant to him. His love was sometimes overwhelming, but always real.
So you were quite surprised when, out of nowhere, Ni-ki disappeared. It wasnât even gradualâit was like he just had been erased from existence overnight.
Your calls didnât go through. Every message you sent was met with silence. The usual places where youâd expect to find him were void of any sign of him.
It was as though he had vanished off the face of the earth.
At first, you tried not to panic. Maybe he was laying low, being cautious because of something related to his âwork.â It wasnât uncommon for him to disappear for a day or two without much explanation. But this⌠this was different. Days stretched into weeks, and there was no trace of him.
The house plants he bought you started to wilt. The flowers heâd shower you with dried out in their vases. Even the expensive gifts that once felt like tokens of his love now felt like hollow remnants of someone who wasnât there.
You told yourself to stop worrying, to trust that Ni-ki would show up like he always did. But there was this gnawing feeling in your chest that something was wrong. The man who never let a single detail slip, who checked in even during the middle of a heist, wouldnât just leave without a word.
It wasnât just his absence that hurtâit was the questions it left behind.
Had something gone wrong? Was he in danger? Did he leave to protect you? Or⌠had he chosen to leave you behind?
You couldnât decide which thought was worse.
And so, you found yourself in limbo, walking through your days like a shadow of yourself. Every time you heard a car engine roar or the faint buzz of your phone, your heart jumped, hoping it was him. But it never was. It was like living in a constant state of waiting, with no end in sight.
Because no matter how dangerous or reckless Ni-ki was, he had never made you feel like this beforeâlike you were completely and utterly alone.
You didnât know what to do. Who could you even ask? Ni-ki didnât exactly have a list of friends you could call up, and even if he did, would they tell you the truth? Would they even know?
You couldnât go anywhere either, since over time, Ni-ki had subtly embedded himself into your life. His toothbrush sat next to yours in the bathroom, his favorite snacks were still in the kitchen cupboards, and his scent still lingered on the hoodie heâd left draped over the back of your couch. Everything around you was a reminder of him, of how present he used to beâand now, of how completely absent he was.
You felt helpless. All you could do was wait. Wait for a sign, for any kind of clue that Ni-ki was okay. That your boyfriend would return. That he hadnât just dropped everything, ghosted you, and fled to another country or something, leaving you to pick up the pieces of a life youâd built together.
And it wasnât just his disappearance in your life that hitâit was the absence of him everywhere else, too.
There were no robberies, no heists, no headlines about criminals pulling off impossible jobs. Nothing.
Ni-kiâs world, the one youâd been reluctantly dragged into, seemed to vanish along with him. It was like heâd flipped a switch and erased himself completely, leaving no trace that he or his crew had ever existed.
And that terrified you.
Because if there were no heists, no rumors, and no movement in the underground world he thrived in⌠then what had happened to him?
You tried to keep yourself busy to stop your mind from spiraling. You went to work, cleaned the apartment, and even started wearing some of the designer clothes heâd bought for youâjust so you wouldnât see them lying untouched and feel that pang of loss all over again. But no matter how much you distracted yourself, the questions never left.
Where was he? Why had he disappeared? And most importantlyâwas he even still alive?
Each night, youâd sit on the edge of the bed you used to share, staring at your phone, willing it to buzz with a message from him. Just one word, one sign that he was out there, that he hadnât forgotten about you.
But it never came.
And the silence, day after day, was slowly eating away at you.
Where could he have possibly gone?
You wondered that every single day. The question circled endlessly in your mind, eating away at you, consuming you whole. It kept you awake at night, staring at the ceiling as you tried to piece together a puzzle you didnât have all the pieces for.
Had something gone wrong? Maybe the cops had finally caught up to him. Or worse, maybe a rival crew had taken him out.
Orâyour heart clenched painfully at the thoughtâwhat if he had left on purpose?
You hated yourself for even entertaining the idea, but you couldnât help it. Had all the promises, the whispered words, the moments heâd held you close meant nothing? You couldnât shake the memory of how he used to look at you, like you were the only thing that mattered in his world. It didnât make sense for him to just walk away from that.
But then again, Ni-ki wasnât exactly a predictable man.
You found yourself retracing your memories of him over and over, looking for signs you might have missed. Had he said something that hinted he might leave? Had there been a change in his behavior that you hadnât noticed at the time?
But nothing came up.
You thought about the last night youâd spent together, how normal it had been. Heâd kissed you goodnight, murmured something about taking care of âa few things,â and promised heâd see you the next day.
But that day never came.
And now you were left with a hollow ache in your chest and a million unanswered questions.
You tried searching for him. You went to places you knew he frequented, even places heâd warned you never to go. You lingered near shady alleys, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone who might recognize you, who might know where Ni-ki was.
But every lead you tried came up empty. And no matter how much you told yourself to stop, to move on, you couldnât. Because deep down, no matter how angry or hurt you were, you still loved him. And the thought of never seeing him again? That was something you couldnât accept.
So since you couldnât accept it, you decided to live with it.
He would returnâeventually. He had to.
You clung to that belief, repeating it to yourself like a mantra. Ni-ki always had a way of showing up when you least expected it. He wasnât the kind of man who just disappeared forever, not without a reason.
But until then, you had to keep going. Life didnât pause for your heartbreak, no matter how much it felt like it should.
You went back to work, dragging yourself through each day. You tried to focus on the mundane things. It was easier to keep your mind occupied than to let yourself fall into the black hole of wondering why.
The apartment felt emptier than ever, though. His things were still there, little reminders of him scattered everywhere. His clothes in the closet, his jacket still hung by the door, and the scent of his cologne lingered faintly on the sheets.
You told yourself not to touch any of it, like leaving it all the way it was would somehow bring him back faster.
But the days kept going, and the silence became unbearable.
At night, you found yourself sitting by the window, staring out at the city lights, hoping that maybe youâd see him walking up the street. Or hear the familiar sound of his key turning in the lock.
But it never happened.
Instead, the city moved on without him, and you were left standing still, caught in the limbo of waiting.
And then, just when you started to think you might have to let go of the hope that had been keeping you afloat, something changed.
You were just outside, taking the trash out. It was ordinary, mundane, and the last thing you expected was for your life to take a sharp, terrifying turn.
As you tied up the trash bag and made your way toward the dumpster, you felt a presence behind you. Before you could turn around, something cold and hard pressed against the back of your headâa gun.
"Don't scream," a low voice ordered, calm but menacing.
Your breath hitched, your heart racing as fear overtook your body. You barely had a chance to process the situation before rough hands grabbed you, shoving a bag over your head.
âHey!â you yelled, but your voice was cut off as you were manhandled, your arms pinned to your sides. You thrashed as much as you could, but whoever had you was strongâtoo strong.
"Keep still," the voice snapped as you were dragged across the pavement.
The sound of a car door opening made your stomach drop.
You screamed again, the sound muffled by the bag over your head, but it didnât matter. You were shoved into the car with enough force to knock the wind out of you.
The door slammed shut, and you felt the vehicle lurch forward as it sped off.
âWhere are you taking me!?â you demanded.
No one answered.
You could hear a few voices around you, low murmurs you couldnât make out, and the hum of the engine. Your mind raced. Who were these people? What did they want? And why did this feel so⌠targeted?
You thought of Ni-ki.
Was this connected to him? Had his criminal past caught up to him, and now you were caught in the crossfire?
The car continued to speed through the streets, the sound of the city growing distant. You struggled against your restraints, trying to think of a way out, but the hands that had grabbed you earlier kept you pinned down.
Eventually, the car slowed, and you felt it come to a stop.
The door opened, and you were pulled out, still blindfolded and disoriented.
âWalk,â the voice commanded, pushing you forward.
Your legs wobbled, but you forced yourself to move, your heart pounding as you tried to make sense of your surroundings. You were led into a buildingâat least, you assumed so by the sound of a door creaking open and the change in the air.
âSit,â the voice ordered, and you were shoved into a chair, the force making it scrape against the floor as you landed with a jolt.
Before you could even catch your breath, rough hands grabbed your arms and began tying them down to the chair.
âWait, what are you doing? Let me go!â you shouted, panic flaring in your chest as you struggled against the bindings.
They ignored you, the rope burning against your wrists as they secured it tightly. You twisted and thrashed, managing to elbow one of them in the ribs. The man stumbled back with a grunt, and you seized the moment to push yourself off the chair.
The ropes werenât fully secure yet, and with an adrenaline-fueled burst of strength, you ripped free and yanked the bag off your head.
The sight before you made your blood run cold.
They werenât Ni-kiâs people.
No, these were strangers, all wearing clown masksâgrotesque, painted grins leering at you as they stood in a loose circle, armed with weapons.
Your breathing hitched as you stumbled back, trying to put as much distance between yourself and them as possible.
One of them stepped forward, clearly the leader, his mask more elaborate than the others with smeared red paint around the mouth and black streaks over the eyes. He held a knife in one hand, the blade catching the dim light.
He tilted his head, gesturing for you to come closer.
You froze, your mind racing. Did he really think you would just⌠walk to him voluntarily?
Disgust churned in your stomach at the audacity, and your body stiffened as the reality of your situation fully sank in.
âNo,â you said, your voice trembling but defiant.
The man tilted his head further, almost amused, and took another step forward. The other masked figures began to shift, closing in around you like vultures circling prey.
Your pulse roared in your ears, but you clenched your fists, refusing to show fear.
âI said no,â you repeated, louder this time, your voice steady even as your legs threatened to give out beneath you.
The leader stopped, his head tilting back slightly as if to examine you. Then, without warning, he lunged.
Instinct took over, and you dodged to the side just in time, the blade narrowly missing you. Your shoulder hit the wall hard, but you didnât stop moving. You darted for the door, desperate to escape, but two of the masked figures stepped in front of it, blocking your path.
A sharp laugh came from the leader as he straightened, pointing the knife at you.
"Feisty," he said, his voice muffled slightly by the mask. He tilted his head, almost as if studying you. Then, with a low chuckle, he added, âNow I see why Wolf likes you.â
You froze, your blood running cold at the mention of Ni-kiâs alias. Not many people knew of his real nameâunless they were part of his trusted circle.
The leader noticed your reaction and laughed again, clearly pleased by your response. âOh, that got your attention, didnât it?â he mocked, twirling the knife between his fingers. âYeah, I know all about your little boyfriend. Wolf this, Wolf that. Always so damn secretive, isnât he?â
âWhat do you want?â you snapped, trying to keep your voice steady, though your heart was pounding in your chest.
He ignored your question, taking another step closer. âYou wanna know where your precious Wolf went?â he asked, his tone teasing, dripping with condescension.
Your brows furrowed despite yourself, and you hated how you hesitated. Did he know? Did they have something to do with Ni-ki disappearing?
He noticed the flicker of curiosity in your eyes and smirked beneath the mask. âAh, there it is,â he said. âYou do want to know. But then again⌠should you? I mean, if he really cared about you, donât you think he wouldâve told you himself? Instead of just up and vanishing like that?â
âThatâs notââ you began to argue, but he cut you off.
âNo, no,â he said, wagging the knife at you like you were some misbehaving child. âLetâs be real here. Do you honestly think he told you everything? Do you really think youâre anything more than a little toy to him? Something pretty to keep around, just for fun?â
âThatâs not true,â you said through gritted teeth, your nails digging into your palms as you tried to stay calm.
âIsnât it?â he pressed, his tone taunting. âThink about it. Youâre sitting here, clueless, while we know where he is. Why didnât he trust you enough to tell you, huh? Maybe youâre not as important to him as you think.â
Your chest tightened, his words cutting deeper than you wanted to admit. You knew Ni-ki cared for youâyou felt it in the way he looked at you, touched you, protected you. But the nagging doubt his words planted began to twist in your mind.
âShut up,â you muttered, your voice trembling with barely contained anger.
âOh, hit a nerve, did I?â the man said, his laughter echoing around the room. âPoor little thing, left in the dark by the guy whoâs supposed to love you. Face itâheâs been playing you from the start.â
âI said shut up!â you shouted, your voice cracking as frustration and fear boiled over.
The man took another step toward you. âAw, donât get mad at me. Iâm just telling you the truth. If Wolf really loved you, he wouldnât have left you like this. Heâs probably already moved on, you know. Thatâs what guys like him doâthey donât stick around. Youâre justââ
Before he could finish, the sound of a loud crash came from outside the room, followed by shouts. The leaderâs head snapped toward the door, his body tensing.
You felt a flicker of hope spark in your chest, though you had no idea what was happening.
The man turned back to you, narrowing his eyes behind the mask. âStay put,â he ordered, pointing the knife at you, then pointed sharply at two of his men. âYou two, stay here. Donât let her move,â he barked, his voice sharp. Then, without another glance at you, he disappeared through the door, followed by the rest of the masked figures.
The room fell silent, save for the faint, muffled sound of shouting and movement outside. You froze, your breath shallow, as tension wrapped around you.
The two men left behind didnât seem particularly thrilled about their assignment. One leaned against the wall, lazily spinning a pistol in his hand, while the other paced back and forth, gripping a shotgun tightly.
âWhat the hellâs going on out there?â the pacing man muttered under his breath, his steps growing quicker as his nerves got the better of him.
âProbably just a distraction,â the other said casually, though his tone didnât match the unease in his body language. âNothing to worry about.â
But then the sound of gunfire ripped through the air, loud and unmistakable. Both men snapped to attention, their heads whipping toward the door.
The pacing man cursed under his breath, his hands tightening around the shotgun. âThat didnât sound like nothing,â he hissed.
The other man straightened, his casual demeanor evaporating in an instant. âStay sharp,â he muttered, raising his pistol and taking a defensive stance.
Your heart pounded in your chest as you watched them, trying to make sense of what was happening. Was it the police? Another rival group? Orâcould it possibly be Ni-ki?
The thought made your stomach twist. You didnât dare hope, but the timing was too coincidental to ignore.
Another round of gunfire erupted, this time closer. The shouts outside grew louder, more frantic, and you saw the pacing man glance at the door nervously.
âWhat ifââ he started, but before he could finish, the door burst open with a deafening crash.
A masked figure stormed in, moving too quickly for you to process, and before the two men could react, shots rang out. The man with the shotgun dropped first, crumpling to the ground, followed by the other, who barely managed to fire a shot before falling.
You screamed, your body instinctively curling in on itself at the scene that unfolded in front of you.
The masked figure turned to you, their weapon still raised. But then, as if realizing who you were, they slowly, they lowered the gun and reached up to pull off their mask.
Your breath caught in your throat as familiar dark eyes met yours.
Ni-ki.
He was breathing hard, his face splattered with bloodânone of it his, from what you could tell. His expression was sharp, focused, but the second he saw you, it softened.
âAre you okay?â he asked, his voice low and steady.
You could only nod, too overwhelmed to speak.
Ni-ki moved toward you quickly and grabbed your hand, pulling you with him.
âWe need to go,â he said, his grip firm but gentle as he led you toward the door and out.
âWhatâhow did youââ you stammered, your mind racing with questions, but Ni-ki cut you off.
âNot now,â he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. âIâll explain everything later. Right now, we need to get out of here.â
You barely had time to nod before Ni-kiâs hand tightened around yours, his grip both protective and urgent. He moved with precision, his steps calculated, as though he had memorized every corner.
The hallway was dimly lit and reeked of sweat and blood. Bodies lay scattered along the floor, some moving in pain, others motionless. You stumbled over one of them, but Ni-ki was quick to steady you, pulling you closer to him as though shielding you from the reality of what you were walking through.
âStay close to me,â he muttered, his voice low but firm.
The sound of gunfire echoed down the hall, making you flinch. Ni-ki cursed under his breath and pulled you into a side room, pressing you against the wall as he peeked out into the corridor.
You could hear muffled voices shouting orders in the distance, along with the unmistakable clang of boots against the floor.
âTheyâre regrouping,â Ni-ki muttered, more to himself than to you.
âWho are they?â you whispered, your voice shaking as you gestured vaguely toward the chaos outside. âAnd whyâwhy did they take me?â
Ni-ki glanced back at you, his dark eyes intense. For a moment, he looked like he wanted to tell you everything, but instead, he shook his head.
âLater,â he said, his tone leaving no room for argument. âRight now, we just need to get out of here alive.â
He leaned back out into the hallway, checking the coast again before grabbing your hand and pulling you back into motion.
The two of you moved quickly, Ni-ki guiding you through a maze of hallways and rooms. You didnât know where you were going, but you trusted him. You had to.
Eventually, you came to a set of metal doors. Ni-ki pushed one open slightly, peeking out before motioning for you to follow.
The outside air hit you like a shock, cold and biting against your skin. You were in an alleyway, the narrow space lit only by a flickering streetlamp. A black car idled a few feet away, its engine running.
âGet in,â Ni-ki ordered, opening the passenger door for you.
You hesitated for a moment, your legs frozen as your mind tried to catch up with everything that had happened.
âNow,â Ni-ki snapped, his voice sharp but not unkind.
The urgency in his tone jolted you into action. You climbed into the car, and Ni-ki quickly shut the door before jogging around to the driverâs side. He slid in, slamming the door behind him, and immediately hit the gas.
The tires screeched as the car sped out of the alley, merging into the flow of late-night traffic.
For a while, neither of you spoke. You stared out the window, your heart still racing, as the city lights blurred past.
Finally, you broke the silence. âNi-ki⌠whatâs going on?â
He didnât answer right away, his hands gripping the wheel tightly. His jaw was clenched, and his eyes were focused on the road ahead.
âThose men,â he finally said, his voice low and controlled, âwere enemies. Rivals. Theyâve been trying to get to me for months, and when they couldnât, they went after you instead.â
You felt a chill run down your spine. âWhy didnât you tell me? Why didnât you warn me this could happen?â
Ni-kiâs grip on the wheel tightened, his knuckles turning white. âI thought I had it under control. I didnât want to drag you into this mess.â
âBut they did drag me into it,â you said, your voice rising slightly. âAnd you disappeared, Ni-ki! I thoughtââ Your voice cracked, and you stopped, swallowing hard.
âI know,â he said, his voice softer now. He glanced at you briefly before turning his attention back to the road. âI had to disappear. They were closing in, and I needed to make sure they couldnât find you. But I didnât think theyâd figure out where you were so fast.â
You stared at him, your emotions a whirlwind of anger, fear, and relief. âSo what now? Are they going to keep coming after us?â
Ni-ki was silent for a moment before answering. âNot if I finish this.â
The weight of his words hung heavy in the air. You didnât know exactly what âfinishing thisâ entailed, but you knew it wasnât going to be anything simpleâor safe.
For now, though, you were too exhausted to push for answers. You leaned back in your seat, closing your eyes as you tried to process everything.
--
You were angry. Angry and hurt. But mostly angry.
The more you tried to push it down, the harder it fought to rise. You didnât want to admit it, but that guysâ words had gotten to you. Theyâd planted a seed of doubt that wouldnât stop growing, no matter how much you wanted to tear it out.
Because the more you thought about it, the more it made sense. Ni-ki had always been secretive, careful with his words, deflecting questions he didnât want to answer. Heâd always told you it was to keep you safe, to protect you from the world he was a part ofâbut was that all it was?
You hated the doubt clawing at you. It felt like a betrayal to even consider it, but how could you not? He hadnât told you where he was going or what he was doing. Heâd disappeared for a month without a word, leaving you to question everything. And now, after swooping in to save you, he dropped you off at this fancy, unfamiliar hotel like you were some burden and vanished again.
It had been three hours since he left. Three hours of silence, alone in this room, alone with your spiraling thoughts.
You paced the room, the plush carpet soft under your feet as you walked back and forth. The anger bubbled under the surface, growing hotter and heavier with each passing second. You felt like you were going to explode.
How could he do this to you? How could he keep so much from youâthings that mattered, things that directly involved you?
You looked around the room, the expensive dĂŠcor and luxurious furniture mocking you. The place was beautiful, no doubt, but it felt cold and empty. It wasnât home. It wasnât comforting. It was just another thing Ni-ki had decided for you without asking.
You tried calling him again, for what felt like the hundredth time, but it went straight to voicemail. No message. No update. Nothing.
The anger surged again, and you threw your phone onto the bed with a frustrated groan. You felt like you were going in circles, your mind chasing answers that werenât there.
All you wanted was the truth. Was that so much to ask?
You sat down on the edge of the bed, your head in your hands. The doubt crept back in, the voices whispering in your head.
He doesnât trust you. Youâre just someone to keep him entertained. If he really cared, he wouldnât leave you like this.
You hated that those thoughts felt so convincing.
Because deep down, you knew they werenât entirely wrong. Ni-ki never told you the full truth about his life, and no matter how much you loved him, no matter how much he said he loved you, there was always a wall between you.
A lump formed in your throat, but you swallowed it down. You didnât want to cry. You wanted to be mad. Mad was better than hurt. Mad was easier to deal with.
The sound of your phone buzzing snapped you out of your thoughts. You grabbed it quickly, hoping it was him, but it wasnât. Just another notification you didnât care about.
You sighed and leaned back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
You didnât know how long youâd be stuck here, waiting for him, waiting for answers. All you knew was that this wasnât how things were supposed to be.
If Ni-ki wanted you to trust him, he had to start trusting you too. Because if he didnât⌠you werenât sure how much longer you could keep doing this.
When he eventually did return, it was late at night. You had already gone to bed, the room dark and quiet, when the sound of the door unlocking and opening made you sit up abruptly. You fumbled for the light switch, turning on the bedside lamp, and your eyes widened as you saw Ni-ki standing there.
His clothes were smeared with blood, dark streaks painting his shirt and jacket. His face looked tired, a faint cut across his cheekbone, and his knuckles were raw and bruised.
He looked surprised to see you awake, his usual calm demeanor faltering for just a moment. âYouâre awake,â he said, his voice soft but laced with exhaustion. He stepped further into the room, quickly scanning you from head to toe. âAre you okay? Did anything happen?â
You pushed his hands away when he reached for you. âDonât,â you said sharply, your voice trembling with anger and worry.
His brows furrowed. âWhatâs wrong?â
âWhatâs wrong?â you repeated, your voice rising as you threw the blankets off and stood from the bed. âNi-ki, look at you! Youâre covered in blood! Youâve been gone for hours, and you come back like this and expect me to justâwhat? Pretend everythingâs fine?â
âItâs not my blood,â he said simply, as if that was supposed to make you feel better.
You froze, staring at him in disbelief. His words rendered you speechless for a moment, the weight of them sinking in.
âNot your blood?â you finally managed, your voice trembling with a mix of anger and fear. âThatâs not the point, Ni-ki! You disappear without a word, leave me alone in some random hotel, and then show up like this? Do you have any idea how worried Iâve been?â
âIt was business,â he said flatly, his tone calm but guarded.
That made your anger boil over. âItâs always business with you!â you shouted, throwing your hands up in frustration. âEvery time! Itâs like you think I donât deserve to know whatâs going on. You vanish, come back covered in blood, and all you can say is business?â
Ni-ki ran a hand through his hair, wincing slightly as his bruised knuckles brushed against his scalp. âYou donât understand,â he said quietly.
âThen make me understand!â you snapped, your voice cracking under the weight of your emotions. âIâm tired of this, Ni-ki. Tired of wondering if youâre okay, tired of sitting here not knowing if youâre going to come back. Itâs like you donât trust me, like you donât think Iâm worth the truth!â
He stared at you, his expression unreadable. For a moment, it looked like he was going to say something, but then he just shook his head. âItâs not that simple.â
âItâs not that simple,â you repeated bitterly, crossing your arms over your chest. âOf course, itâs not. Nothing with you ever is.â
The room fell into a heavy silence, the tension between you palpable. You could see the exhaustion in his eyes, the way his shoulders sagged under the weight of whatever heâd been carrying. But that didnât erase the fact that you were tired tooâtired of being left in the dark, tired of feeling like you were fighting for a place in his life.
âIâm going to clean up,â he finally said, his voice low. He turned toward the bathroom, pausing in the doorway to glance back at you. âWeâll talk after.â
But you didnât respond. You just turned away, sitting back on the bed with your back to him.
You heard the sound of running water a moment later, and you felt a lump rise in your throat. You wanted to believe him, to believe that he cared as much as he said he did, but how could you when he brushed you off like that?
When Ni-ki returned, his steps were lighter, freshly showered, dressed in clean clothes, and with damp hair dripping slightly onto the collar of his shirt. He looked at you, expecting to find you asleep, but instead, you sat upright in bed, the glow of your phone casting shadows over your face.
âYouâre still awake?â he asked, his voice low with a mix of surprise and guilt.
You didnât look up from your phone, your fingers idly scrolling. âCouldnât sleep.â
His brows furrowed, but he said nothing more as he climbed into bed. The mattress dipped under his weight, and after a moment, he scooted closer, slipping an arm around your waist in an attempt to pull you against him.
You immediately shuffled away, putting space between the two of you.
He froze, his arm hovering in the empty space where youâd just been. âWhatâs wrong?â he asked, his voice soft but edged with worry.
You finally set your phone down and turned to face him, your expression heavy with emotion. âI donât know if I can do this anymore, Ni-ki.â
His eyes widened slightly, the words hitting him like a punch to the gut. âWhat do you mean?â
You took a shaky breath, feeling the weight of your thoughts crashing down all at once. âYouâve been gone for a month, Ni-ki. A whole month. No calls, no messages, nothing. I didnât know if you were alive, if you were ever coming back. And then, out of nowhere, you swoop in when Iâm in trouble like itâs just another day, like none of it matters.â
âIt does matter,â he said quickly, his voice firm as he sat up straighter.
âDoes it?â you shot back, your tone sharp. âBecause it doesnât feel like it. You disappear without a word, you keep me in the dark about everything important, and then you show up expecting me to just go along with it, like none of this is supposed to bother me. Do you evenâŚâ You paused, your voice breaking slightly as the words caught in your throat. âDo you even love me?â
He stared at you, his lips parting slightly, but no words came out at first. Instead, he reached for you, pulling you into his arms despite your protests and attempts to squirm away.
âLet me go,â you muttered, your voice muffled against his chest.
âNo,â he said softly, his arms tightening around you as he rested his chin on top of your head. âIâm not letting you go.â
âNi-kiââ
âListen to me,â he interrupted gently, his voice low but steady. âI love you. Iâve always loved you. Youâre the only thing in my life that feels real, the only thing I come back to when everything else is chaos. Youâre the reason I keep going.â
You shook your head, your hands weakly pressing against his chest as you tried to push him away. âYou canât just say thatââ
âI love the way you fight me on everything,â he continued, his lips brushing against the top of your head. âI love the way you look at me like you can see right through me, like you see the parts of me no one else does. I love the way you donât care about the money, or the things I doâyou just care about me.â
âStop,â you whispered, tears welling in your eyes.
âI love you,â he said again, his voice breaking slightly as he buried his face in your hair. âAnd Iâm sorry for everything. For leaving you alone, for making you feel like you donât matter. You do, okay? You matter more than anything.â
Despite yourself, despite the anger and hurt you still felt, his words broke through the walls youâd tried so hard to put up. The weight of your emotions came crashing down, and you finally gave in, collapsing against him as the tears spilled over.
Your hands gripped his shirt tightly, your body shaking with quiet sobs as he held you close, his arms strong and steady around you. âI hate you,â you mumbled weakly, though there was no real malice behind the words.
He chuckled softly, kissing the top of your head. âI know. I know, I would hate me too.â
You didnât respond, too exhausted and overwhelmed to say anything more. And as he continued to hold you, whispering quiet reassurances and pressing soft kisses to your hair, you realized something.
You had missed him so much.
You woke up the next morning to the weight of Ni-ki draped over you, clinging to you like a koala. His arms were wrapped tightly around your waist, and his head was squished against your chest, his messy hair tickling your chin. You blinked groggily, taking in the sight of him, so peaceful in his sleep.
For a moment, you just stared, letting yourself savor the quiet moment. There was something in the way he held you, like you were the one thing in his life he couldnât let go of.
Unable to resist, you slowly brought your hand up to his hair, carding your fingers through the soft strands. He responded immediately, leaning into your touch and groaning sleepily, his grip on you tightening as if to say, donât stop.
You smiled faintly, your fingers continuing to glide through his hair. It was moments like these that made it so hard to stay mad at him, to even consider walking away. But the thoughts youâd had the night before still lingered in the back of your mind, refusing to let you rest.
After a while, you decided you needed to get up. Slowly and carefully, you began the long and arduous task of peeling Ni-ki off you. It was no easy featâhe grumbled in protest, his arms tightening around you whenever you tried to wiggle free. He buried his face further into your chest, muttering something incoherent, and you couldnât help but roll your eyes affectionately.
âNi-ki,â you whispered softly, brushing his hair back. âLet go.â
He groaned but didnât budge, his grip still firm. It took several more minutes of gently prying his arms away and untangling yourself from his hold, but eventually, you managed to slip out from under him.
As you stood, you glanced back at him. He had turned onto his side, still deep in sleep, his hair a mess and his lips slightly parted. He looked so carefree, so unlike the Ni-ki you usually sawâguarded, calculating, always one step ahead.
You sighed quietly and turned away, grabbing your clothes and getting dressed before quietly slipping out of the room. You needed some time to think, to process everything.
Your feelings for Ni-ki werenât the issue. You loved himâof that, you were certain. But loving him wasnât the same as being able to handle the life that came with him. The secrecy, the danger, the constant wondering if he was okay or if youâd ever see him again. It was exhausting, and it scared you more than you wanted to admit.
And so, you left the room, leaving Ni-ki behind in his slumber. You needed to figure out what you really wanted, what this relationship meant for you both.
The irony of it all wasnât lost on you. Ni-ki had spent so long running, leaving you behind to think and worry in his absence. Now, it was your turn to take the space you neededâeven if only for a little while.
And so, you took the space you needed. After everything, it was your turn to vanishânot completely, of course. You still had responsibilities to attend to, places to be, and tasks to complete. But for Ni-ki, you became a ghost.
You didnât answer his calls. Each time your phone buzzed with his name on the screen, you ignored it, staring at the device until it fell silent. The texts he sentâlong, short, questioning, apologeticâwent unanswered. Even when he rang your doorbell, you couldnât bring yourself to open it. Youâd sit silently inside, barely breathing, until you heard the sound of him leaving.
At work, you made sure to disappear when he showed up, ducking into the breakroom or slipping out the back. At school, you avoided the places you thought he might look for you. When you did catch glimpses of himâstanding at a distance, scanning the crowd, his expression filled with frustration and concernâyouâd slip away before he could see you.
You told yourself it wasnât forever. That this was what you needed, a chance to clear your head and sort through the storm of emotions swirling inside you. But each time you saw his name pop up on your phone or caught sight of him searching for you, a pang of guilt struck you deep.
Still, you couldnât bear to face him right now. You couldnât look into those eyes, so full of emotion, and risk falling apart all over again. You needed this time. Time to figure out if you could handle everything that came with loving someone like Ni-ki.
And so, you stayed hidden, even as part of you ached to open the door, to pick up the phone, to let him explain everything. Because, despite the distance youâd created, you couldnât stop missing him.
Ni-ki wasnât the kind of person to give up easily, though. And you knew, deep down, that this wouldnât be the end. Not for him, not for you.
But what could you really do when someone like Ni-ki was your boyfriend? It was only a matter of time before he got to you again.
It happened when you least expected itâagain. You were outside, tossing a bag of trash into the dumpster, then, like a shadow slipping out of nowhere, Ni-ki appeared behind you.
"Why are you avoiding me?" he asked.
You froze, your hand still gripping the edge of the dumpster. Slowly, you turned to face him. He looked the same as always, but his eyes were different. They werenât filled with their usual confidence or amusement. Instead, they looked tired. Frustrated.
âI wasnât avoiding you,â you muttered, though the words felt weak even to your own ears.
Ni-ki scoffed softly, shoving his hands into his pockets. âSure, you werenât.â
You glanced around, as if looking for an escape route, but you knew there wasnât one. Not from him. "What do you want, Ni-ki?" you asked, crossing your arms over your chest defensively.
He took a step closer, and you instinctively took one back. "I want you to stop avoiding me," he said. His tone wasnât angry, but there was an edge to it, a quiet insistence. "Youâve been ignoring me for days. Do you think I wouldnât notice?"
"Maybe I wanted you to notice," you shot back, the words slipping out before you could stop them.
Ni-ki tilted his head, studying you with those dark, piercing eyes. "So, what? You wanted me to chase you?"
"I wanted space!" you snapped, your voice louder now. "I needed time to think, Ni-ki. About us. About this." You gestured vaguely between the two of you, your frustration bubbling to the surface. "You canât just keep vanishing and showing up whenever you feel like it. Thatâs not fair to me."
For a moment, he didnât say anything. The silence hung heavy between you, broken only by the distant sound of a car passing by. Then he stepped closer again, and this time, you didnât move away.
âI know,â he said quietly, his voice softer now. âI messed up. I shouldâve told you what was going on. I just... I didnât know how.â
âYou didnât know how?â you repeated, your anger still simmering but mingled now with disbelief. âYou didnât know how to tell your girlfriend where you were going or why you disappeared for a month?â
âI thought I was protecting you,â he admitted, his eyes dropping to the ground for a moment before meeting yours again. âI thought... if I kept you out of it, youâd be safe.â
You let out a bitter laugh, shaking your head. âSafe? Do you know how scared I was when you disappeared? How much worse it made everything when those guys showed up andââ Your voice cracked, and you quickly stopped, swallowing hard.
Ni-kiâs jaw clenched, his hands tightening into fists at his sides. âI know. And I hate that you had to go through that. But I came back, didnât I?â
"Thatâs not the point, Ni-ki," you said, your voice quieter now. âItâs not just about coming back. Itâs about not leaving me in the dark in the first place.â
He took another step forward, close enough now that you could feel the warmth of him in the cold night air. âIâm trying,â he said, his voice barely above a whisper. âI donât... I donât know how to do this. The whole relationship thing. But Iâm trying.â
You stared at him, your anger still lingering but softening slightly at the vulnerability in his voice.
âYouâre not making it easy,â you muttered.
He smirked faintly, though it didnât quite reach his eyes. âWhen have I ever made anything easy?â
Despite yourself, you almost smiled at that. But you werenât ready to let him off the hook just yet. âThis is serious, Ni-ki,â you said, your tone firm. âIf you want this to work, you have to stop shutting me out. I canât do this if youâre just going to disappear every time things get messy.â
He nodded slowly, his expression more serious now. âI know. And I promise, Iâll do better. Just... donât give up on me. On us.â
You hesitated, studying him closely. He looked sincere, but you couldnât help wondering if that would be enough. Still, as much as you wanted to stay mad, a part of you wanted to believe him. To give him another chance.
âIâm not promising anything,â you said finally, your voice softer now. âBut... Iâll think about it.â
Ni-ki smiled faintly, and for the first time, it felt genuine. âThatâs all Iâm asking for.â
You took the time you needed, allowing the days to pass slowly as you sorted through your thoughts. It wasnât easy, and there were moments when you doubted whether anything would change.
After a week of space, you decided it was time. You texted Ni-ki, asking him to come over to talk. You werenât sure what the conversation would look like, but you knew you couldnât keep pushing him away, and you couldnât keep pretending everything was fine when it wasnât.
When the doorbell rang later that evening, your heart was pounding in your chest. You hadnât seen him in days, and the anticipation was nerve-wracking. You took a deep breath before walking over and opening the door.
There he was, standing on your doorstep with that familiar hoodie, his hands shoved into his pockets, and his expression unreadable. But there was something different in the way he stoodâmore uncertain, almost... nervous.
You studied him for a moment, unsure of where to begin. But then, his eyes met yours, and he spoke first.
âYou wanted to talk?â he asked quietly.
You nodded, stepping aside to let him in. âYeah. We need to.â
The air between you felt thick with everything that had been left unsaid, but neither of you moved until you both sat down in the living room. Ni-ki took a seat across from you, his hands resting on his knees, his gaze focused on the floor for a moment before meeting your eyes again.
âI know I messed up,â he began, his voice low. âI hurt you. I made you feel like you couldnât trust me, and I... Iâm sorry for that. I never meant to make you feel abandoned or like you didnât matter.â
You looked at him, your heart aching at the sincerity in his voice, but the sting of his absence still lingered. âI just donât understand why you thought it was okay to just disappear. To leave me without any explanation. Iâve been asking myself that over and over,â you admitted, your voice trembling slightly. âI know you think you were protecting me, but... it felt like you were shutting me out. Like I wasnât even part of your world.â
Ni-ki ran a hand through his hair, frustration evident in the way he sighed. âI get that. I donât know what I was thinking. I shouldâve communicated with you, let you know what was going on. But I didnât. I kept everything to myself because I thought I was doing the right thing... keeping you safe.â
You shook your head. âBut thatâs not how a relationship works, Ni-ki. You donât just keep secrets. You donât disappear without saying anything. And you canât keep making decisions without me.â
âI know,â he said, his voice barely above a whisper. âI messed up, and Iâm not proud of it. But Iâm here now. Iâm here because I want to fix this. I want to make things right with you. I know Iâve hurt you, and I canât take that back, but Iâll do anything to prove that I care. That Iâm not just using you.â
His words hit you hard, and for a moment, you looked down at your hands, unsure of what to say. You didnât want to keep holding on to the anger and the hurt, but it was hard to shake off the feeling of betrayal.
âI donât know, Ni-ki,â you said quietly. âIâm not sure if I can just forget what happened. Itâs not just about you disappearingâitâs everything that came with it. The way you treated me like I was some kind of afterthought.â
Ni-ki moved closer to you, his hand gently reaching out for yours. âI understand. And I donât expect you to forget. But I need you to know that I want to be here. I want to make things right. I love you. And Iâll prove it every day.â
You hesitated, still holding on to the doubts and the pain. But his hand in yours felt like a lifeline, and for the first time in a long while, you allowed yourself to believe that maybe things could be different. Maybe he could change.
âI donât know if it will be easy,â you said softly, âbut Iâll try. Iâll try if you promise me that youâll be honest with me. That you wonât keep things from me anymore.â
Ni-ki nodded, his grip tightening on your hand. âI promise. No more secrets.â
--
It felt surreal, the way things shifted after Ni-ki made that promise. He wasnât just physically presentâhe was emotionally there too, in ways you hadnât expected. The first thing youâd see when you woke up was him, his face relaxed in sleep, a hint of a smile at the corners of his lips as if he were content just being there with you. And the last thing you saw before sleep was him, his warm arms around you, ensuring that you were safe and cared for.
You noticed how he didnât leave your side much. Whether it was at home, walking you to work, or even just sitting on the couch together, he made sure to be near you, always close enough to reassure you that he was there for good. There were no more of those long, unexplained absences. No more shadows lurking over the relationship. He was there. He was committed.
One evening, as you were sitting together on the couch, your curiosity got the better of you. It had been weeks since youâd noticed any signs of the heists heâd been involved inâno more late-night disappearances, no more mysterious meetings. You decided to ask him outright.
âNi-ki... Iâve been meaning to ask,â you said, your voice tentative, âWhat happened to all those heists? All that... the stuff you used to do?â
He tensed slightly, his eyes flicking to yours before he took a slow breath. âI quit,â he said simply, the words carrying weight that took you by surprise.
âWait, what?â You blinked, unsure if youâd heard him correctly. âYou quit? Like, for real?â
Ni-ki nodded, a serious look in his eyes. âYeah. I realized it wasnât the life I wanted anymore. I donât want to be that person who hides behind masks and lies. I donât want to drag you into that world. Iâve done enough to screw things up already.â
You felt a rush of emotionsâsurprise, confusion, and a strange sense of relief. He had quit? For you?
âYou... you quit for me?â You whispered, almost unable to believe it.
He nodded again, reaching out to take your hand in his. âFor both of us. Iâm serious about us, about you. I donât want to lose you. So Iâm going to get a real job, a legitimate one. I want a future with you, and thatâs not going to happen if Iâm still out there, risking everything.â
The sincerity in his voice was undeniable, and as you looked into his eyes, you saw the truth in every word. Ni-ki had always been unpredictable, but in this moment, he seemed more grounded, more determined than you had ever seen him.
You took a deep breath, the weight of it all sinking in. âI... I donât know what to say,â you admitted softly.
âYou donât have to say anything,â Ni-ki said, his thumb brushing over the back of your hand. âI just wanted you to know. I want to build something real with you. And Iâm willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.â
Ni-ki had been reckless and wild in the past, but now, here he wasâshowing up for you in ways that were more meaningful than any flashy gesture or promise could convey.
âOkay,â you whispered, your voice thick with emotion. âOkay. I believe you.â
And that was all you needed to hear from him.
You leaned into him, letting yourself relax into the warmth of his embrace, feeling the weight lift off your shoulders.
You were both living in the moment, together.
a/n: this is the last chapter of this fic :) hope you all enjoyed it and stayed for the journey <3

So, I'm getting trained in a therapy modality which is repackaged DBT and something in one of the trainings has stuck hard for me and helps here
"Its a good idea to get a clear picture of the situation whenever the situation changes"
This of course is not possible however a situation changing can be just like reading a different Tumblr post. And you can keep checking in with yourself in a scary situation/uncomfortable one like every 5 seconds.
(or you can be me and forget that this is a thing most of the time)
They have steps for getting a clear picture but like I don't use all of them and the system is like find which of these work for your client/shift as needed. But the idea is just to know what your situation is without trying to change it so you can deal with it appropriately.
After you know your situation, you then ask yourself what your goal or value is and what you want to do and see if they align.
This is truly the part where I learn if I'm drowning or acclimating. I once told my partner outloud that my urge was to curl up on the ground and my goal was to feel better and this wonderful human made me a nest on the ground. Cause my brain thought they were incompatible so sometimes talking it out helps
But I find if I ask the urge/goal question before I know what's going on around me and within me, then I suck at it.
Anywho hope this helps.
sometimes your distress does indicate you should stop and respect your limitations. at other times it's more of a baby aquatic mammal being introduced to water for the first time thing. Too bad the difference is so hard to tell.

all tangled up in the moon
justin herbert x fem!reader
summary: you finally began feeling open to dating in your new home of sunny la, especially since your best friend didnât love you back the way you loved him⌠unless he did? a telling double date begins unraveling feelings that you didnât know were sharedâŚ
warnings: pining/mutual pining. expressions of feelings. a LOT of fluff. explicit sexual content, MDNI. 18+ only.
word count: 6.3k.
note: my first ever justin fic!! based on so many ideas from my bestie @joeyburrrow, also happy belated birthday btw đŤ iâm sorry i didnât get it posted yesterday! but, she and i have talked about so much of this and this fic truly is for her. ALSOâ FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS FIC ONLYâ i made justin allergic to walnuts. idk if he is or not, but itâll make sense when you get there. i hope you like this. love you all. đ
the dating pool in los angeles was nothing short of horrible.
sure, there were tons of people, which meant tons of options⌠but that also lead to some problems. there was so much diversity around, which again, is great⌠but it often led to mismatched partners and having trouble finding someone with all of the same interests or morals or values as you.
that being said, while messing around on dating apps, you found yourself a date that ticked more of your boxes than anyone else had since you moved to the sunny city.
his name was damon, and he worked at a law firm that wasnât too far from your own nine-to-five job. his profile said he was 6â2, in his pictures he displayed a beautiful smile, and his interests were similar enough to yours that you figured why not give it a chance?
when you swiped right heâd messaged you nearly immediately, which couldâve been a red flag, but he kept it sweet and professional. his personality shined through his messages and you found yourself genuinely laughing at some of his jokes, and that was always a good sign.
you ran into one little problem though. you didnât really know anyone else in l.a. except for your best friend, therefore you didnât have many people to trust. sure, you had coworkers and acquaintances in the office, but none of them were around you enough to be able to vet through suitors from your dating life to let you know who would work and who wouldnât.
you were also afraid to go out with someone new alone, and you blamed that on being an introvert. you ultimately made the decision that either damon would have to be okay with your first date being a double date, or you just wouldnât go. when damon agreed it was fine, you called justin worriedly - this was going to be the hard part.
he picked up after two rings.
âis this the krusty krab?â you asked teasingly, smiling as you heard him huff out a brief laugh. he lowered his voice before answering.
âno, this is patrick.â
âyeah, justin patrick,â you teased, âunless i called the wrong brother.â you chewed on your bottom lip as you heard him chuckle again.
âthatâs my name! donât wear it out.â he joked. you could practically see the dumb grin already etched across his face. you remained silent for a moment, the weight of the question weighing on you. when you didnât respond, justin took the lead of the conversation again.
âhey, y/n? you okay? not that i mind you calling me, of course i donât mind⌠but did you need something? is everything alright?â you appreciated his ability to talk you down in moments like this, it was like he could sense your nerves even from miles away, and over a phone call.
âiâm okay. but i have a tiny favor to ask. you know youâre my most favorite best friend in the wholeee world, right?â you laughed, trying to push past the anxiety of the question you needed to ask him. âi do. whatâs the favor?â
âi have a date friday night and iâve never met him before. i didnât know anyone else to ask and.. i was hoping maybe you and chloe could come along? like a double date?â
justin and chloe had started seeing each other recently, and you liked her enough not to really worry about their relationship. sure, she was living your dream being with justin, but you practically knew he didnât feel the same about you. while you were completely and utterly in love with him, he still saw you as his best friend, and you had learned to accept it.
when you first met chloe you knew she wasnât his type, she was completely different from justin⌠but he seemed happy, and thatâs all you ever wanted for him. she was excited to meet you too, and in the few times youâd seen her since she was always genuine and kind.
âi think we can make that work, i should be out of practice in time. iâll let chloe know and then we can figure out where to go. thereâs a new restaurant downtown she and i went to a few weeks ago, youâd love it. they have really good raspberry cheesecake!â he said.
âoooh my favorite!â you cheered, already daydreaming of the delicious confection.
âi know.â he agreed. you smiled on the other end of the line, the way he knew you from cover to cover made your heart ache. you only hoped damon - and if not him, then whoever was destined for you - could be such a wonderful lover to you. someone who truly cared to learn everything there was to know about you, just like you and justin did with each other, even if only as friends.
you and justin talked for a bit longer over menial things before you ended the call, bidding him a goodnight. you made sure to text damon about your plans, letting him know youâd get back to him about a time as soon as you could.
he was excited for your date, and also excited to meet justin. you learned damon was a big fan of sports, and even though he wasnât a chargers fan, he still really liked justin and thought he was a great player. he didnât believe you when you first told him justin was your best friend, you had to provide him with photo evidence. the whole ordeal made you laugh. after chatting briefly with damon you put your phone on your bedside table before rolling over and getting cozy under your blankets.
you went to bed with a smile on your face that night, excited for your date with damon and also excited for him to meet your best friend.
ęŠ â§.°. đŚš.°.⧠ęŠâ§.°.𦹠.°.â§ęŠ â§.°. đŚš.°.⧠ęŠâ§.°.𦹠.°.â§
you sailed through the week on a high, and when friday night came you were still feeling ecstatic. you were still a little anxious about going out and meeting damon in person for the first time, but getting to know him through the week had helped you warm up a little and let your guard down.
you decided on wearing a simple black dress, classy yet not too-fancy. you curled your hair and applied a light layer of makeup before slipping on a pair of strappy black heels.
you planned on meeting justin and chloe at the restaurant at seven, giving everyone enough time to get ready and allowing justin to shower and freshen up after practice.
damon picked you up at six-thirty. he met you at your door with flowers which you graciously accepted, and you excused yourself to bring them inside and put them in water before locking up and going with damon to his car.
he opened your door for you and you slid in, buckling your seatbelt as you waited for him to get in and start the engine. it was a bit chilly out and you were grateful when damon turned up the heat before backing out of your driveway and heading to the restaurant.
you chatted with him on the drive and it was pretty pleasant, you were thankful that the conversation between you both flowed easily. you learned that his favorite football team was the los angeles rams, and you joked with him that heâd need to let you out of the car immediately because you wouldnât stand for that nonsense.
he laughed heartily at your joke. he talked to you more about his job, you learned he was a paralegal and that heâd been in the profession for nearly four years. you told him about your experience working in human resources and you related over shared experiences.
when you arrived to the restaurant damon parked and came around to open your door, and you were quickly met by justin and chloe. damon and justin shook hands and introduced themselves to each other as you greeted chloe.
âi love your dress!â she smiled, you thanked her. âyou look incredible too, chloe!â
she wore a light blue dress that came down mid-thigh and had long sleeves. she wore black heels as well, and you loved the glittery eyeshadow she had put on.
the four of you walked into the restaurant and justin spoke to the host about reservations he had so graciously called in - which you thanked him immensely for. the host led your party to a table toward the back of the restaurant and you all sat. damon made sure to pull out your chair, and justin did the same for chloe.
the waitress came by shortly after for your drink orders, you and justin both got water. chloe ordered a riesling and damon ordered a cabernet, which you found amusing. you didnât say anything about it, though.
the waitress brought your drinks quickly and she also brought a basket of bread for the table, with little cups of cinnamon butter. you indulged in one as you listened to justin and damon begin chatting about football.
you and chloe began to chime in at times, and the atmosphere was nice. you and damon also engaged in your own quiet conversation every now and then, and you were starting to like it every time heâd flash you his award winning smile⌠until justin would smile at you from across the table. in those moments, you knew who your heart truly belonged to.
a few times during dinner the conversations would ebb off, or the input from chloe and damon would stop, leaving only you and justin talking to each other.
the waitress brought your food and you all began dining, while still chatting here and there about work and sports and things of that nature. the waitress came back around a bit later to take plates and your dessert orders. the men continued to talk while you and chloe ordered, with you asking for cheesecake and chloe ordering a fudgy brownie.
something damon said reminded justin of something he needed to tell you, and he turned his attention toward you quickly.
ây/n, i was meaning to tell you that my uncle had some students interested in trying to make a car run on vegetable oil.â you laughed at his statement before giving your input.
âso what, they want to install a second fuel tank iâm assuming? so the vehicle can run on diesel til itâs hot enough and then theyâll switch to the oil?â you ask. âyeah exactly. i thought it sounded pretty cool.â justin smiles. âsounds like a waste of time to me.â you say amusedly. justin tilts his head and gives you a questioning glance.
âitâs totally not a waste of time. if they can figure out how to do it, itâll be pretty sick.â he disagrees. damon glances between you before chiming in. âi think itâd be pretty cool too!â he agrees with justin.
âdo you know how many times theyâd have to filter the oil before they could even use it? and theyâd have to make sure to install a solenoid valve to switch between two fuel tanks. too much work.â you say, crossing your arms and looking back and forth between both men. chloe says nothing, you assume she has no idea what any of you are talking about.
you noticed damon checking the time on his phone before sliding it back into his pocket and rejoining your conversation, but mostly listening to you and justin bicker.
âit totally reminded me of that 70s show though, you know? when hyde says âthereâs this carâŚ. and it runs on water, man!ââ justin laughs, doing a pretty decent impression of the character.
âi just feel like making modifications to your car so it could run off vegetable oil is a waste of time.â you say, leaning back slightly in your chair. justinâs girlfriend looks between the two of you with an odd look on her face, only breaking focus when she sees the waitress approaching again.
âhereâs the double chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream,â she says, placing the plate in front of chloe, âand here are the slices of raspberry cheesecake.â
she places the plate in front of you and damon is quick to grab it, sliding his piece of cheesecake onto one of the extra serving plates. chloe picks her fork up excitedly, slicing into the brownie and taking a small bite. her eyes roll as she tastes it, the richness of the chocolate has to be delectable. you watch as she cuts another small bite, this time more toward the center of the brownie where you can see it has small pieces of walnut in it.
she reaches over to cup justinâs jaw, squeezing a bit to get him to open his mouth so she can feed it to him. you ignore the slightly jealous feeling bubbling in your stomach as she brings it closer to his mouth, but you canât get your words out. justin looks at her with a puzzled expression. he hadnât been paying attention to her or what she ordered, so he has no idea what sheâs about to feed him.
as if on instinct, your hand shot across the table and closed around her wrist, stopping her from feeding him. âs-sorry.. uh, justin is allergic to walnuts.â you say, lowering your gaze so you donât make eye contact with her. she lets go of his jaw and he shrugs sheepishly.
âsorry baby.â she tells him, eating the bite for herself. âitâs okay.â justin replies. his eyes find yours for a fleeting moment, nervous energy is shared between you. damon watches the entire ordeal silently, passing glances between the three of you as he eats his dessert.
you pick up your fork and take a bite too, and the tartness of the raspberry dances across your tongue in a pleasant way. justin was right with his recommendation, this restaurant truly is amazing. damon and justin begin conversing again, and you stay quiet as you eat, listening attentively.
chloe chimes in a few times, earning laughs from both men with her unintentional humor. you slide the last bite of cheesecake on your fork and bring it to your lips, ready to enjoy it, when suddenly your fork is plucked from your hand. you look up to find justin eating the last bite straight off of your fork. yours.
while youâre on a double date. with other people.
your gaze quickly flips from justin to chloe and then to damon as you try to gauge their expressions. damon doesnât seem to notice or care as he continues talking about football, and justin nods along with what damon is saying as if this ordeal was the most normal thing that has ever happened.
sure, you and justin are close enough to eat off each others forks and sometimes even drink from the same cup or can, but the fact that he did it on a double date baffled you. neither of the men at the table seemed to be giving it a second thought, but when your gaze shifts to chloe you can tell sheâs perturbed in some way. her eyes are slightly squinted as she looks you up and and down, and then her gaze shifts to justin as she does the same to him.
you continue to sit quietly at the table, listening to the men talk. chloe stays quiet, too. the tension between the two of you feels almost palpable.
you would never want to come between her and justin, even if you did have feelings for him throughout all these years.
the rest of the time spent in the restaurant went by in a blur. eventually damon and justin stopped talking, realizing that you and chloe hadnât shared a word, and they mutually decided that dinner should be over.
damon and justin split the checks and pay before each of you stand from the table to leave. when you make it outside you suck in a deep breath of the fresh air, youâve felt like you were suffocating for the last fifteen minutes. all of you say goodbye to each other before you get into damonâs car, and chloe into justinâs.
the drive back to your house is quiet. youâre anxious, your throat feels tight and you know your cheeks must be incredibly pink. damon hasnât even glanced at you and youâre afraid to say a word because if you do youâll start crying.
he finally pulls into your drive and parks the car before looking at you for the first time since you left the restaurant. you wring your hands together before looking back at him, expecting the worst.
âthat was fun, justin is a really nice guy.â his voice is genuine as he speaks to you, but youâre prepared for where this is going. âhe loves you, y/n.â
you look at him with bewilderment as he continues speaking. you want to say something, but he holds up a finger to tell you to wait. âbefore you start with the whole âhe doesnât feel that way about meâ spiel, he does. i saw how you looked at each other all night. he doesnât look at her like that.â
tears are pricking at the corners of your eyes as he speaks, and you turn your gaze from his so he wonât see. âyou love each other, y/n. itâs okay. i had fun, iâm glad i met you.â he says, reaching over the console to grab your hand. he gives it a gentle squeeze and you look back up at him as he smiles at you. âi would like to be your friend, if thatâs okay.â
âyeah, we can stay friends, of course.â you tell him. he lets go of your hand and gets out of the car, circling around to get your door and walk you up the front steps. before you can walk up damon pulls you in for a hug, which you reluctantly accept.
âit was nice meeting and going out with you, y/n. donât be a stranger!â he says, and then he lets you go and gets back into his car, driving off down the street.
you let yourself in the house and lock the door behind you before collapsing on the couch. you donât have the energy to move, to take off your shoes, or to even be worried about your makeup.
you just sit there, and you cry. you cry for all the lost time, if it is true and he does love you. and if damonâs wrong, and you do take the time to tell justin how you feel and he rejects you⌠well, you should go ahead and cry for that too. you cry for the only boy youâve ever loved.
ęŠ â§.°. đŚš.°.⧠ęŠâ§.°.𦹠.°.â§ęŠ â§.°. đŚš.°.⧠ęŠâ§.°.𦹠.°.â§
justin buckles his seatbelt and holds his foot down on the brake before backing out of his parking spot at the restaurant, ready to get home and into more comfortable clothing. chloe sits beside him silent, like she did for most of the dinner.
he spares a glance her way and notices her posture is rigid, her lips are pressed into a tight, thin line. justin reaches over to grasp her hand but she flinches away from his touch.
âare you okay?â he asks her, his tone concerned. âiâm okay. can you take me to my house, please?â she asks. her voice sounds small, she sounds upset.
âof course.â justin agrees. they hadnât been dating long enough to make the steps to move in together, but chloe frequented his house often as long as he was home. he thought it was a bit strange that she wanted to go home, but he waited to question it.
when he pulled in her driveway and parked she was quick to jump out of the car and make her way inside. justin turned the car off and pocketed the keys before following chloe inside.
âum, is everything okay?â he asked, stepping into the living room. âno. we need to talk.â chloe said, sitting down on the couch. justin sat next to her and place a reassuring hand on her knee as he waited for her to speak.
âi think we should break up.â
justin is taken aback by her confession, but he doesnât speak. he waits to hear her out. âi really like you, justin. and i think you like me. but you donât love me. and you never will, because you love someone else.â
âwhat?â he asks, his tone incredulous. âyou love y/n, justin. you know it, i know it, everyone on the planet knows it⌠except for her. i think youâre both idiots.â chloe smiles softly.
justin looks around the room nervously, waiting for chloe to speak again. âyouâre both idiots because what youâve been looking for has been in front of you the whole time. it was obvious you two should have been on a date. you both carried the conversation, you were doing silly impressions to make her laugh⌠you look at her like sheâs your most prized possession, justin.â
he takes a deep breath before looking at chloe and finally speaking. âiâm sorry.â is all heâs able to mutter out.
âyou donât need to apologize. iâll admit, i was upset at first. but on the drive i thought about it, and i just want you to be happy. and i figured someone needed to tell you that girl loves you, because if the two of you have been friends this long and you havenât figured it out, iâm afraid you never will.â she laughs. âand god, i didnât even know you were allergic to walnuts.â
justin laughs too before reaching over and pulling chloe into him for a hug. âthank you for telling me all that⌠and i am sorry. i really am.â
âitâs okay, justin. just get the girl, okay?â she says, shooing him out the door. he waves goodbye before walking off to his car and heading home.
when he arrives home he sits in the driveway pondering⌠did you really love him back? and if you have, how long? and what was he going to do?
he thinks of all the time heâs lost out on if itâs true, and you do love him back. heâd supressed the feelings for as long as he could remember because he never knew he had a chance - he never thought heâd be the one for you. and if he wasnât he knew itâd break him, but all he wanted was your happiness.
all he knew right now was that he loved you, that you were the only girl heâd ever loved.
ęŠ â§.°. đŚš.°.⧠ęŠâ§.°.𦹠.°.â§ęŠ â§.°. đŚš.°.⧠ęŠâ§.°.𦹠.°.â§
you donât talk to justin for a week.
youâre afraid to. usually, heâs the first person you run to about anything, but since the subject matter is him, you feel like youâre stuck between a rock and a hard place. you spend the entire week sad, crying into your coffee or whatever dinner youâve chosen to eat after work (usually cereal), and watching lifetime movies that are guaranteed to make you feel worse - they make the longing in your chest burn.
justin finally texts you on friday night, and youâre afraid to open it. you let it sit unread for half an hour before your phone starts ringing on the end table. itâs justin, you know it is, but youâre afraid to answer. you pick up your phone slowly and slide your thumb across the screen to answer the call.
âhello?â you sniffle, picking up a tissue to wipe your nose. âhey y/n, you okay?â justin asks.
âyeah, lifetime movie, sorry. whatâs up?â
âjust wanted to see if you wanna come over and hangout? i havenât heard from you all week, i miss you.â he says. you miss him too. but are you ready to see him after what happened?
against your better judgment, you agree to go over. after all, he is your best friend. if anyone can get you feeling better, itâs justin. you hang up the call and slide on your slippers before grabbing your keys and phone and heading over to his house.
you didnât bother changing, you didnât care what you looked like in front of him. heâd seen you sick as a dog before, he even held your hair when you puked a few times, so he could handle seeing you in an old ratty tshirt and sweatpants that were a few sizes too big.
thereâs also no way he could ever judge you for having greasy hair.
you make the quick drive to his place and you almost panic and leave before calming yourself down and walking to the front door. itâs just justin. this is no big deal.
you knock twice but you know he already knows youâre there, and he swings the door open quickly before pulling you into a tight hug. physical affection is something you both enjoy, and youâve missed him. you wrap your arms tightly around him and squeeze back.
justin laughs as he looks down at you. âsometimes i forget how small you are.â
âor maybe youâre sasquatch.â you say, giving him a shove. he lets go and steps aside so you can get in the door, and you waste no time in sliding your slippers off plopping down on his couch. you notice his house seems a little⌠different, but you canât put your finger on it.
justin closes the door and makes his way over to you, acting like heâs going to sit on your lap. âdonât even think about it.â you tell him, bringing your legs up to your chest. he sits next to you and leans into your side.
âhow was your week?â he asks you innocently. âit was horrible.â you reply. you share the most miniscule details with him when he tries pressing you further, because youâre too afraid to tell him whatâs really wrong. justin listens intently either way, hoping to find something he can do to make you feel better.
âwell howâs it been with damon?â he finally asks, and you freeze. justin moves so he can lay his head on your lap, and he straightens out your legs before doing so. your hand naturally finds its way into his hair, your nails raking along his scalp soothingly. he shudders.
âdamon um⌠well. he didnât wanna go on another date. it wasnât because he didnât like me, though. he just said⌠he could tell u didnât like him.â
justin hums softly. âinteresting.â he says.
âwhatâs interesting?â you ask him. âchloe broke up with me.â
âWHAT?â you shout, startling him a bit. âsorry⌠i mean, what? why? i thought you guys really liked each other?â
âwell, she liked me a lot. and i liked her but⌠i donât love her. she really helped me realize a lot of feelings i had that iâd been holding back.â he turns his head to look up at you and smiles and - oh. oh.
the look heâs giving you seems to be full of pure adoration, pure love. and you realize that he always looks at you like this.
tears start to form in your eyes again and justin sits up, this time pulling you into his lap. âyou okay?â he asks, soothingly rubbing his hand over your back.
thatâs why it seemed different - all her stuff was gone.
âi donât know. whatâs happening here?â you ask him, burying your face in his neck. âchloe helped me realize that i love you, y/n. i always knew it, deep down. but⌠i donât know. i never really thought you felt the same.â
âdamon said the same to me. that he could, um, tell we loved each other. are we just stupid?â you ask him, pulling away from his neck to look in his eyes.
âapparently two idiots in love.â he says. his hand finds the back of your hair and smooths over it softly before he pulls you into his neck again, crushing you in another hug.
âso where do we go from here?â you ask, enjoying his embrace. âi guess forward.â he jokes, poking at your sides. âtogether, of course, if you want that. as a couple.â
you canât help the giddy feeling bubbling up inside you as he speaks. of course you want that, itâs all youâve ever wanted. âi love you, justin.â you finally say, and being able to tell him to his face is like a dream come true. âi love you back.â he says softly. you meet his gaze once again and he looks nervous, but you arenât sure why.
âwhatâs wrong?â you ask him sweetly. you softly touch his cheek, smoothing over it with your thumb. he doesnât say another word, but he leans in and kisses you.
you feel dizzy, your heart is pounding incredibly hard against your chest. justin is over the moon too. your lips begin moving in sync, neither of you able to catch a decent breath as you devour each other hungrily. justin's hands find your waist and he pulls you into him further, and your arms circle around his neck.
he pulls away for a second before jumping right back in, awkwardly bumping his nose against yours. you both laugh before kissing again. this is truly what euphoria feels like. you donât know how long you both sit there taking each other apart, whether itâs minutes, hours or days.
what matters is itâs happening. finally.
your hands trail down his biceps as he continues kissing you, leaving a trail from the corner of your mouth down to the exposed column of your throat. your breath hitches when his lips meet one of your most sensitive spots, right where your neck meets your shoulder. âyou okay?â he says, sounding concerned.
âiâm nervous.â you whisper. his gaze is soft as he looks at you, half smile spreading across his face. âitâs okay,â he whispers back, âwe donât have to take this any further until youâre ready.â
you hug him again and kiss his cheek softly. âi want to. iâm just nervous.â
âthereâs no reason to be afraid.â he assures you. âdo you wannaâŚâ he starts, cocking his head to the side and motioning toward the direction of his bedroom. you nod a simple yes.
he stands with you and leads you down the hall to his room, although you know very well where it is. youâve spent countless nights here cuddled up with him.
he twists the knob slowly and pushes the door open before guiding you inside, and meeting your lips with his again. the kiss is soft and gentle, and he walks you back toward his bed without breaking contact. once youâve reached the side of the bed he pulls away and reaches behind himself with one arm, grabbing his shirt and yanking it over his head in one swift motion.
uou hop up onto his bed and get cozy against the pillows as he crawls onto the bed too, leaning over you. you rake your nails over the planes of his chest as he presses a kiss to your forehead. his fingertips find the hem of your sweater and his gaze meets yours, waiting for your approval. you nod, and he slides both hands under it before lifting it over your head.
youâre wearing a simple white bra, but justin is looking at you like youâve just descended down from heaven. you know he wonât ask you to take it off so you let what little bit of confidence you have flowing through your veins take over, and you quickly reach behind you to unclasp it.
justin sucks in a deep breath at the sight of you. youâre easily the most breathtaking woman heâs ever seen in his life, you have been since he first laid eyes on you⌠but seeing you like this⌠he feels like heâs died and made it to the afterlife.
you donât hide your gawking either, his toned body has always been something youâve enjoyed staring at whether he noticed it or not. âyouâre so beautiful,â justin tells you, leaning in to capture your lips again. as he crawls over your body you can feel his length through his sweatpants, it lays hard and heavy over your leg. you shudder at the thought of it.
justinâs hands slide up your torso and he caresses your breasts softly before tweaking both of your nipples with his thumbs and forefingers. you arch upward into him and your body is covered in gooseflesh as you await his touch again.
youâve never felt such pleasure and satisfaction in your life, and heâs only barely started. youâre sure that youâve soaked through your panties and sweatpants at this point. he continues to grab at your chest as he kisses you and you moan out his name softly, causing him to rut against your leg. he needs you just as much as you need him, you can tell.
âjustin, iâm ready. i want you.â you tell him, breaking away from his kiss to look into his eyes. he smiles down at you and raises his eyebrow, making sure one more time. âiâm ready.â you promise him. his hands grab the waistband of your sweatpants before pulling them down your legs quickly, along with your panties.
he pulls his off next and your mouth falls open, gawking at the sight in front of you. sure⌠justin was 6â6, everything about him was big⌠but holy shit. he is huge.
he smiles at you nervously before reassuring you, âitâll be okay, i wonât hurt you. i swear.â you almost think you could faint at how cute and sexy he his. you tell him you donât need any prep but he wonât allow it, and he uses the pad of his thumb to circle your clit quickly as he enters two fingers into you to work you open.
after a few minutes youâre ready, you canât take anymore and youâre practically begging him to fuck you. he blushes at the sound of your moans, but his chest fills with pride knowing heâs making you feel so good. he pulls his fingers from your soaking heat slowly before wrapping his hand around his cock and giving it a few strokes. you let him situate your body how he needs to and he ends up with your ankles right at his shoulders as he prepares to push into you.
heâs lucky youâre flexible. his lips find yours again as he pushes in and your thankful because his kisses swallow your gasps. he moves slowly, inch by inch until heâs fully seated, and he waits a few minutes before moving so he doesnât hurt you. when he finally pulls out and pushes back in, he moans loudly at how amazing you feel around him. you moan too, youâve never felt so full in your life - and youâve never felt so fulfilled either.
he moves to kiss you again and bumps his nose against yours again sweetly as his hands find yours and he tangles your fingers together. his movements are calculated, slow and methodical as he takes you apart, and unravels you in the very best way.
the room is filled with soft moans and labored breaths and the sounds of you kissing each other anywhere your lips can find. it doesnât take long for you to reach your peak and tears prick at your eyes when you do. this is all youâve ever wanted, and itâs beautiful, itâs magical. justin feels the same.
you warn him that youâre close and he tells you itâs okay, you can let go for him. âcum for me, itâs okay. i love you, y/n.â and thatâs all it takes. his admission of love knocks you straight over the edge and into the thrashing waters, your orgasm taking over your whole body. he cums soon after, his body enjoying the feeling of you squeezing him as he rides out his high.
when he pulls out of you he stand quickly, running off to his bathroom to grab a warm wet towel to clean you both up. he didnât bother asking if you were on the pill, he already knows every aspect of your life anyway.
justin cleans all your sensitive areas with the warm rag before wiping himself off and sliding back into bed with you, pulling the covers over your bodies.
âthat was amazing.â you admit.
âyeah it was. you know how long we couldâve been doing that?â he laughs, and you giggle too. âi love you.â you tell him. âi love you too, so much. can i tell you something stupidly embarrassing, though?â he asks, and you roll over to face him. âoh god, what justin?â
âremember after we graduated, right after you turned eighteen and we had that pool party?â
âyeah, i remember.â you say. it was one of your fondest memories, actually. âthat little yellow bikini you wore⌠i just thought i should admit to you now that i thought about you in that so much when i was jerking it that i thought my dick would fall off.â
both of you erupt in laughter, the admission funny and embarrassing, although endearing too. âthatâs okay, remember right before we went to college and you were teaching me how to drive but you kept getting frustrated and yelling at me? i thought that was the hottest iâd ever seen you.â you say. he pulls you into his chest and kisses you softly.
âyouâre getting me all worked up again, baby,â he laughs, kissing at your cheek toward your ear. âlooks like weâre gonna have to go for round two.â

a/n: inspired by @hyunjinx42 (specifically this), suggested by @arestoucries
-as you sink down on his c*ck after a long day of work- @hyunjinx42
Just a short little something something to try break feed the absolute chokehold Railway Chan has us all in. Inspired by @hyunjinx42, suggested by @arestoucries. As always, smut under the cut, minors dni.
Content warnings: breeding kink, daddy kink, size kink, ancient vine references (just the one, let me know if you found, I made myself laugh and then I couldn't take it out).
I accidentally posted this earlier today when I was still working on the draft 𤣠this is the complete version, so if you were disappointed earlier hopefully this will make up for it
T a k e a S e a t
You know exactly what Chan wants when he sits down in that chair.Â
Tie loosened, hair mussed, eyes dark as he looks you over like a cat eyeing the most delicious bowl of cream.
âSo, you were watching me all day.âÂ
âOf course I was watching you. It was your MV shoot.â You keep your voice light, but the intensity of his gaze is making you tingle all over. Not to mention the hint of the devil in his smile, quirking the corner of his mouth.
âWell, I was watching you too. Come here.â He beckons you over, that familiar come hither motion of his fingers sending a strong jolt of arousal to your belly and your mind straight into the gutter.Â
It might just be because he's been playing a vampire all day but you feel powerless to resist him. Walking towards him, and that chair, like a woman hypnotised.
That devil's smirk spreads as you move into arms reach, shivering as he reaches out a hand to stroke your leg. Just the inch of bare skin, above your knee and below your skirt.
âDid you choose this outfit just for me, sweetheart?â
This outfit being a not-quite-knee-length pleated skirt, a silk shirt buttoned up to the neck, and what the fashion magazines might describe as a smart casual blazer. It's giving âslutty schoolgirl meets business casual.â
Had you chosen this outfit especially for Chan, knowing about his purity kink and the fact you'd be in his eye line but just-out-of-reach all day?
You bet Chan's sweet ass you did.Â
And he knows it too, knows it in the way you shiver as he lightly runs those fingers, a barely there feather touch, up your leg. Under your skirt. Slowly, closer and closer to where all that want is bubbling in your gut.
âI thought so. Such a tease.â Under that playful tone there's something low, something dark. Something that makes itself known when scrapes his nails back down your thigh, not quite hard enough to break the skin, but hard enough that you know if you were to look thereâll be five red lines marking your flesh. Dragging his fingers away from where you want them, where you need them, taunting you with a smile that tells you he knows how your cunt is clenching over nothing.
âI wasnât the only one watching you though, was I?â Marking. Heâs fucking marking you.Â
âChannieâŚâÂ
âThatâs not my name.âÂ
â...Chris?â
âNot today sweetheart.â
Oh. Oh.Â
Oh boy.
â...Daddy?â
âGood girl.â His voice is all low and growly, and he tugs you forward by your knees until youâre standing astride his lap and hands are running up the backs of your thighs again, alternately stroking and scratching as he smiles up at you.Â
âDo you even know what you do to me? What itâs like having to pretend youâre not mine. Having to watch guys like that following you all day, flirting with you, eyefucking you, and not being able to do a damn thing about it?â
Ah, so thatâs what this is about. Chan is jealous. You were training the director's new PA today, some guy whoâs name youâve already forgotten. And Chan is jealous.Â
As if he isnât the most gorgeous man on the planet, a professional wet dream, and your long term boyfriend whoâs been dicking you down dumb for the last 4 years.Â
And if he wants to talk about unfairness, letâs talk about work. Watching him film that scene today, in this very chair, where an orgy of dancers were writhing on him. In fucking handcuffs. And he was sitting there with that look on his face. Yes yes, work is work, and acting is acting, the hazards of dating an idol etc etcâŚ
But watching your man sit with a crowd of strangers slithering on his lap, that special expression on his face you only see when youâre sinking down on his cock after a long day of work, in that goddamn chairâŚ
âWhat are you thinking about, sweetheart?â The question is innocent, the look in Chrisâ eyes is not. He's completely Chris now, all signs of sweet Chan gone, replaced by the hungry, almost feral creature that likes it when you call him daddy. âAre you thinking about all those dancers from earlier, sitting on me, touching on meâŚâ
âYes, DaddyâŚâ you whisper, blush creeping across your ears. It's like he's staring right into your soul, reading your thoughts and revelling in how you put up no resistance. He can invade all your private places and you let him, you're an open book to him
âDid it drive you crazy?â His voice is a low whisper, heavy with lust and wanting. âDid you want to come and sit on my lap instead, come and claim what's yours?"
You're too turned out to speak, your voice a whimper rather than words. âDaddy⌠don't teaseâŚâ
He smiles slowly at you, reaching up your skirt and slowly dragging your panties down your thighs.
âThen come warm this cock my love. Daddy's been waiting all day.â
It's almost musical, the sound Chris makes as you sink down on his dick, somewhere delicious between a moan and a grunt. It's almost too much, the way he stretches you. You cling to his shoulders and hide your face in his neck as you whine, nipping at his neck as you desperately try to ground yourself.
âMmm⌠so goodâŚâ Chris has his hands on your hips, guiding you until you're settled on his thighs, his cock fully sheathed inside you. âSuch a good girl. So perfect for me.â
He's almost too big to fit, your pussy stuffed fuller than full, at it's absolute limit. Teetering on the cusp of what feels good and what doesn't.
He's mercifully gentle, running his hands up your back, stroking your skin in slow, soothing circles.
âYou're doing so good, baby. Just relax, relax for me baby.â He hisses when you lean a little more forward, mewling into his neck into his neck and holding him tighter as the change in angle causes your pussy to spasm and stretch, barely able to bear it.
âI want.. IâŚâ
âWhat do you want, babygirl?â Concern creeps into his turn, worried that maybe his dick is too big, maybe youâre not enjoying it. âAm I hurting you? We can stop if it's too much.â He presses kisses into your hair, brushing some out of your face as he tries to look you in the eyes.
âNo Daddy⌠please don't stop. You feel⌠so goodâŚâ Chris sighs in relief, stroking your face tenderly. âWill you⌠will youâŚâ
âYeah, baby? What do you need?â
âI can't⌠I wantâŚâ You shake your hips lightly, barely moving but Chris' dick is stretching you so full it feels as intense as if he was pounding you out, hips snapping as he tried to fuck you through the mattress.
Chris makes a strangled sound, the drag of your velvety walls almost driving him to madness.
âWhat do you need, babygirl.â His voice is hoarse with the effort of holding still. âJust tell me. Tell me baby, please, you're driving me madâŚâ
âDaddy,â your voice is almost a sob, âDaddy, please⌠It feels so good. You feel so good, inside meâŚâ Chris has to bite his lip to keep from swearing at how good you're making him feel. He loves is when you talk dirty.
âBaby, if you keep saying things like thatâŚâ
âBreed me, Daddy. Please. Please.â Chris presses a shaky, kiss to your lips, gentle and tender, trying to distract himself from how every single muscle in his body tenses up and he's pretty sure his balls just turned blue.
âYou sureâŚâ He has to be sure, has to check, before the last strip of his sanity is stripped away and he loses control.
âPlease Daddy. Breed me. Claim me. Make me yours⌠please.â
âOkay baby, okay.â He starts moving, gently, rolling his hips slowly, tantalisingly, doing his best not to go too fast or too quickly. âDaddyâs gonna breed you, okay? You're so tight babyâŚâ
He's not sure what's gonna explode first, his heart or his testicles.
It doesn't take long, every tiny thrust driving both of you closer to the edge,Chris closing his eyes and urgently trying to think of something unsexy. Socks with sandals. Being called âBang Channieâ.
That one weird nude Han accidentally sent him at Christmas. What the hell was he doing with all that BBQ sauce on his titties?
But not even deep philosophical musings on the strange behaviour of Han Jisung can distract Chris from how you've started to bounce on him, your pussy finally adjusted to his cock enough that you can ride him a little, thighs tight around his waist.
He almost loses it, when the little gasps and moans spilling from you get so loud he has to muffle them with his hand. No badly how much he wants everyone to hear how good he fucks you, you're still supposed to be keeping this a secret⌠Definitely not fucking on stage props quickly relocated to a nearby dressing room. Thank fuck the door locks.
But then you bite his hand, losing control of your sanity and bouncing on his dick like a rabbit, whining, so close to cumming but you just can't quite reach it by yourself.
The sting of your teeth on his fingers pushes Chris over, all restraint gone, hands snapping to your hips as he bucks up into you, holding you still so he can pound your pussy.
He feels you coming undone on him, your pussy spasming, clenching, sucking his dick in deeper until he could swear he's pressing against your cervix.
It's not until you collapse in his arms, shaking, trembling, that he finally gives in and lets himself cum. And he cums hard, the aftershocks of your orgasm making your pussy twitch, milking his cock until he's got nothing left to give.
Balls empty, dick aching, cocksore and thighs shaking, Chris holds you close, his seed dribbling out as his cock starts to soften inside you. You both moan when it finally slips out completely, clinging to each other tightly as you both come down from your respective highs.
âI think⌠I think we might have ruined the chair, Channie.â You giggle as you look up at him, all blissed out and happy.
âOops.â He shrugs, before leaning forward and brushing your noses together in an Eskimo kiss. âI guess we'll just have to smuggle it home.â
You rest your head on his chest, happy and sated. Eevelling and how quickly Chris can switch back to Channie, all cosy and cuddly and sweet.
âSoâŚâ
âSo?â Chan is already starting to look sleepy, all fucked out and giddy. He tilts his head at you like a curious puppy, like he didn't just fuck you into th fifth dimension.
â...are you still gonna try tell me the song is about trains?"
Chan blinks, and you can see the cogs in mind turning as he tries to figure out what trains have to do with anything that just happened.
He flushes bright red when the penny drops, eyes going wide, mouth opening and closing as he tries to think of a good comeback. In the end he just hides his face in your neck and mumbles something that sounds suspiciously like a whiney âshut upâ.
You laugh and snuggle down in his arms. He groans, knowing you're gonna tease him about trains once the post orgasm contentment passes.
That's what he gets for being a liar.
Okay, I'm just about happy with this one. This isn't even the No Thoughts/Hard Thoughts fic, but apparently I have breeding kinks on the brain. Oops. Hope you guys don't mind two in a row. In other news, Channieâs big dick problem is the subject of another fic. Yay size kink? Anyways, thanks for reading, reblogs and comments are so much appreciated and motivating and stuff, let's enjoy this highly educational science gif of Channie to end the post:

Some facts about Harding gathered from the banters
I went through all companion banters on DanaDuchy's channel after playing the game to write down all facts about companions/the world that I haven't seen brought up anywhere in the game as a writing reference (and for funsies).
Note: This list may not be exhaustive. I might have missed some something or didn't write it down because I considered it common knowledge. If you have anything to add, please DM me or send an ask! (do specify what banter the information is coming from, though)
Note 2: Posts from this series (mostly) don't include information from banters specific to quests or between companions and faction members. I plan to do another playthrough to capture more of those and will add any relevant info to the character posts.
Other characters' posts: Bellara, Davrin, Lucanis, Emmrich, Neve, Taash to be added tomorrow (or on Monday Jan 5th)
Family and past:
Harding's parents split up a few years ago. Her father lives in Amaranthine. She's okay with that and thinks her parents are happier apart
Hardingâs mother never taught her how to cook, she's entirely self-taught
Harding carries around the first letter her Mother sent her after joining the Inquisition
Harding doesn't have siblingsÂ
Harding had a mabari named Contessa who passed away from old age
(If in romance) Taash offers Harding to get a mabari together
Time with the Inquisition:
Back in Skyhold, Solas once told Harding he was sorry dwarves couldnât dream
Harding thinks that if she had never joined the Inquisition, she probably wouldâve got married and tended to goats
Harding volunteered for the Inquisition because their soldiers kept scaring the sheep because they all had super old maps. And because she didn't want to spend the rest of her life watching sheep
General:Â
Harding likes sandwiches, they are one of her favourite foodsÂ
Harding finds Treviso very beautiful (who doesnât)Â
Harding would bring a bow, clean socks and a spoon to a deserted island
Harding likes books about blood and gore
Harding doesn't like killing, but she doesn't feel bad about it. She compares it to farmers having to kill wild animals that get too close to their land, as sometimes a quick kill can prevent more suffering (i.e. if a wolf gets inside your sheepfold, your own animals will die in pain)
She says that this kind of mindset is the reason why a lot of Inquisition scouts came from farmers, as they need to kill people when necessary (even if those people arenât their enemies personally), but donât go out looking for it
Harding likes almonds. They are crunchy :)Â
Harding is fascinated by Minrathousâs nightlifeÂ
Harding doesn't drink alcoholÂ
Harding really likes puns
Harding has fought a Stormrider dragon beforeÂ
Harding has a detailed and decorated scrapbook with her kills (with doodles. Including a cute giant spider)
Harding never visited Nevarra before the Veilguard, though she had heard of Cumberlandâs Summer Exhibition. Emmrich disregards it as just a market with a horse showÂ
Dwarves and magic:
Harding finds herself more hungry than usual since getting hew new powers
Neve and Emmrich hypothesise that Harding developing Titan powers may have increased her lifespan (or even granted her eternal life)Â
Harding describes using her magic as âtouching something vast and eternal, a well, deep insideâ. Lucanis says that it sounds similar to him using his demon powers
Relationships with companions:
Bellara, Neve and Taash call her âLaceâ. Davrin and Lucanis call her âHardingâ
Emmrich calls her "Harding" most of the time, though he calls her "Lace" on two occasions (in a banter about Emmrook, and the one where he talks about seeing her aura differently after he becomes a Lich)
Harding grows special plants for Davrin to help him mask the griffon smell in his room
Harding grows truffles for Assan
Harding lets Assan sleep on her
To Lich!Emmrich, Harding appears different from other dwarves. She has a special aura (but it comes and goes)
Harding buys an enchanted barbed arrow to take out Lucanis/Spite if push comes to shove. She later tries to give it to Lucanis and apologises, but he insists she keeps it as a sign of his trust
Harding finds Teia intimidating because she is âpolishedâ (Lucanis disagrees but notes she keeps good track of all utensils Viago poisoned at the table)Â
Teia called Harding fearless in a conversation with Lucanis
Harding invites Neve to her house in Ferelden after Neve's apartment in Minrathous burns down, in case she wants to get away from the LighthouseÂ
Harding is very excited about Neve taking over the Threads (âDo they have to kiss your hand?â) and wishes she were a crime boss
Harding once dreamt of Neve stealing her strawberry tarts
Harding starts humming Taashâs name to herself after they get together
About gifts from Taash:Â
Harding doesnât use the archery bracer because it feels so special sheâs afraid it could get lost or get dirty
She also doesnât wear the hairpin because sheâs afraid to lose it
Taash got the cheese in Minrathous
Conclusion: get Harding cheese, itâs the only thing she isnât afraid to actually use
Garden and plants:Â
It's enough to mention a plant for it to start growing in Hardingâs garden
The Fade plants normally donât need tending. However, they may begin to wilt if thatâs what you expect them to doÂ
Smugglerâs Rose clouds the personâs mind if you are wearing it like perfume, letting you pickpocket other people more easily
Sage bane mixed with troll moss can be used to treat toenail fungus

That is a false framing of the discussion at hand. These two are not mutually exclusive; I hold both positions you listed. It is both true that comments are really cool (and often that it can kickstart a writer to get the motivation to keep going) and also that you shouldn't be writing for engagement in the sense that you beg for kudos and comments or else you have no will to go on.
I fundamentally disagree that meaningful community and the engagement that you describe, the reading back, can be achieved in a healthy or sustainable way via asking strangers on the internet for it. If you are asking that of people, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. The people who are the most caught up in this mindset, those who make posts that to one varying degrees guilt the reader for not engaging with every fic they like and make them out to have wounded the author with their lack of engagement, are the ACTUAL target of the "fic writers shouldn't be writing for engagement" argument.
It's fine to need people invested in your work to write. I understand that. But it is much more reliable and it is much more of an act of community building if you put effort into making a small group of friends that match your freak, people who can laugh at your draft and cry at your draft and react line by line. And if you do have that, and you ever find yourself thinking "those people don't count", I'm sorry, but that's a problem where you need to look inside and ask yourself why it isn't enough. And if you're going to be able to do this longterm or if you need to work on some mental health issues to continue without hurting yourself or lashing out at others for their perceived shortcoming in giving you the attention you wanted.
Aaaaand this is where the comment would stop if I believed that alone would solve it.
But like. This is just fundamentally not a binary issue. I, for instance, fucking LOVE commenting on fanfics. I love giving authors I like a little boost and I love mentoring people and I love when my friends give me snippets of their fics. I don't very much appreciate the implication that in order to think that fic authors are being unreasonable for wanting numbers from the void, that one has to view fic as a content mill, just as I'm sure you don't appreciate feeling like someone is telling you to go to therapy for liking to receive comment emails, which is how this position I hold is often taken. The truth is, you're right. In order to understand the real reasons this debate happens, we must learn to look past oversimplified framing and delve into the circumstances that brought rise to it.
In fact, I think this all has much more to do with the sheer volume of fic that is available via ao3, surrounding patterns of social media use, and the different scale of fan communities that existed before compared to now. I think that more or less the entire modern form of this entire debate can be explained by the cultural differences of moving to a big archive for solo perusal and the loss of forums and other intermediate-sized fan community spaces.
Like, yeah, people have always been holding the next chapter hostage for "reviews" since the days of old, but it was seen as immature to do that. People thought those people were the most annoying people in the world. Why is there a massive shift towards that mindset now, then? I think it's fair to think that I'm in the minority position here given these posts about comment starvation circulate to the tune of thousands of notes. There IS an actual drop lately, from what I've gathered.
I'd hypothesize that instead of going to communities and sharing there first, people are expecting to build communities out of a point of contact on Ao3 itself with no backup. To be clear, I have met lots of friends like this, but they were never my ONLY writing community. And that's not necessarily an attribute I have as an individual, but a symptom of growing up with forums and stuff. And more and more people nowadays grew up with social media and particularly its onesided nature and addicting models of interaction. And the internet is just shaped like that, now. It guides our interactions with everything online, now, these fenced-in, monolithic entities. You can't fault the individual for looking at the online world through this everpresent lens.
And this is interesting because it means that you and I have essentially the same problem with modern fandom, OP: we both have a problem with fic as "content". Neither of us are happy with a landscape where you feel like you have to shout into the void for connection. But to me, it's a problem of systemic particulars and how we teach people to interact with other people online, not a failing of the individual on either "side" but a symptom of the mind-boggling scale and centralization of the modern internet.
How to solve it, though?
uhhhhhhh yeah sorry all of my fixes are really on the individual level because that's all most people have control over lol but I would be interested to see what people who are better acquainted with the reclamation of the internet have to say
what the whole "please comment on fic you like, it will encourage more writing" vs. "fic writers shouldn't be writing for engagement and validation" debate fails to really grasp, for me, is that comments shouldn't be boiled down to "engagement and validation" in the first place. by which i mean: comments aren't payment for a service, they are communication and connection. they represent the audience reaching back.
i don't write just for myself. are you kidding me? the point of storytelling, to me, is to present certain narrative arguments and produce or encourage an emotional response to them. That communication is essentially useless if there's no endpoint, no listener. To me, there is no point if I'm not communicating with someone. When I write, I am talking to a reader. If you've read anything I've written, then I was talking TO YOU.
you are well within your right to consume fic as ~content~ and withhold your "payment" out of a sense that the writer should be satisfied at having created anything at all in an unresponsive void. but please be aware that it feels really good when you talk back.

I need to know why L's sisters are always the ones making trouble on social media and looking for attention. I really don't understand why them
Look, im going to give you an answer from PR because that's my life so why not lmfao. And since i've worked with one influencer recently, i have no doubts regarding what is happening at this point with louis' sisters.
Im going to try to explain this as short and succinctly as possible. and im really sorry to say this but this is how things work in real life, i beg you to leave your parasocial relationship with louis aside for three seconds to think coldly about the situation, because i know perfectly well how some of you take every statement made related to louis. several statements can exist at the same time, not everything is black and white, etc. thank you...
Some of you may ask, why always the twins? and there is, actually, an answer to that question. The answer, believe it or not, is not because Lottie is older than the twins. Partly her age is related, but it is not the reason itself... let's see:
Lottie started working as Lou Teasdale's assistant during the OTRA Tour, and since then and thanks to her, she got in touch with many important job opportunities that another teenager who does make-up well wouldn't have.
She has been in Fashion Week, worked for Selena Gomez, etc. Everything from a very young age. Today, she doesn't live exclusively from social media, as many believe. Her income is not only from "being an influencer", she has her brand tanologist, she published a book.... In Lottie's case, social media is a fundamental communication tool that allows her to obtain opportunities that generate income, but it is not her entire income per se.
On the other hand, Daisy and Phoebe were too young to take advantage of job opportunities at that time (1D days) because they were kids... they, again it may not seem like it, didn't have the same level of important job opportunities as Lottie had at such a young age. Lottie was at Fashion Week when she was 17... the twins are still very young and their proper working careers are just starting.
Phoebe and Daisy started their modelling careers in 2020 and to this day, they are involved in social media, promoting products (swaps) and modelling in small photo shoots. They haven't really had a big job opportunity like Lottie has had.
Unlike Lottie, they did not have the same visibility from the start and their income comes exclusively from social media. Modelling and swaps/promo are things they do through social media, their working tool is Instagram/TikTok. They need that platform for their income.
Now, if you have social media accounts set up as public and as a content creator you will know this, but for those who don't: those who create content on social media in this way (influencers, among other cases) have their own tool that helps them most to calculate how much they will earn and that is metrics. The famous "professional dashboard/insights" from Instagram for example.
To hire an influencer (in addition to doing a previous investigation of who you should hire) you should ask them for their metrics so that you can reach an agreement on the amount of money for that exchange/interaction/etc. A fixed base number is set, but depending on the reach, the more money they receive is directly proportional to the amount of interactions and views that post has had. Like on instagram if you share the post as branded content, the company you tag can see your metrics.
The fact that the twins are the ones who post content that they know people will go to their stories/posts/comments to see or will make them follow them on their social media is not a coincidence because the amount of people who interact with them (whatever the reason, as your personal reason is not seen on a metric lol) is what generates them revenue, quite literally.
Yes, it can happen that once in a while as something "casual" because they are people, but not as a generality and even less so when a few days later they do another promotion or they are in one. What is going on and whether it is right/morally correct or not are two different questions, by the way.
This is what happens, welcome to the world of influencers! It doesn't matter if you agree or not, if you like it or not, or whatever, those are your personal opinions (which are perfectly fine, we all have them) but... that's how it is. lol.
I personally don't think it's right to use babygate as a method of generating interaction, and just as I brought it to the attention of the clark family, I will bring it to the attention of the tomlinson's. the child is a huge victim of this, everyone is violating his right to privacy and honestly its disgusting to see after like 9 years. It seems to me that gaining interactions (that lead you to gain money) with such a horrible situation and with a child seems to me something that people should be ashamed of, to be honest. Beyond babygate, imagining that larry and babygate never existed, it's wrong to do this, it goes way beyond fandom, which i think is something a lot of people don't truly understand.
if you really want the twins to stop posting this kind of shit, im sorry to inform yall that the only solution to the problem is going to be to stop following them, stop looking at their stories, stop liking and viewing their posts, stop commenting, etc. any viewing/interaction is reflected in a metric, check it out for yourself (besides there are more metric apps than just the ones IG/Tiktok gives you). If you spread a screenshot taken by someone else or stuff, you are not interacting directly with their account, so it's not the same ofc, but if someone doesn't understand how it works, they will go and see it for themselves and and they will generate interactions. It's impossible not to have them on the radar, i know, so at least i ask yall to focus on what's really important, and not on every idiotic thing that happens, because that way they just make it worse, literally.
