warning. fem! reader, daddy kink! toji, fingering, degrading, you give him viagra.
toji fushiguro has never felt this way before in his life. heâs always been a sexually charged manâ always had a high libido, but this? this is becoming ridiculous. heâs not sure what the cause of it is, but heâs sitting at his desk at work. his fingers mindlessly type away at the keyboard, hand fiddling with the mouse, but his thoughts are only on one thing.
why on earth is he feeling so hot? fuck, and why is his cock so hard? why are beads of sweat beginning to form on his forehead? he glances at the clock feverishly, muttering a curse to himself as he realises heâs only two hours into an eight hour shift. fuck, what does he do? what does he do?
the first thing he can think of is you, grabbing his phone with slightly shaky hands as he opens up your contact and presses on the call button. he glances around, making sure nobody in the office is close enough to hear, and listens to it ring. the moment you pick up, you hardly get a greeting out before heâs hissing into the receiver.
âalright, yaâ fuckinâ brat, whatâd ya do?â
your response on the other end is a stifled giggle and a denial of responsibility on your part. he curls his upper lip, knowing immediately that that laugh means you do have something to do with this.
âdonât fuck around with me, girl, i know itâs your doinâ. now tell me, what did you do, why is my cock so damn hard right now?â
you let out another small giggle, shaking your head even though he can't see you through the phone. you lean back against your pillows, stretching out comfortably as you reply in a light, teasing tone. âaw, poor baby. having some... trouble down there?â you ask innocently, drawing out the last word for emphasis. you can practically picture the scowl on his face, which only makes you grin wider.
âmaybe if you're a good boy and beg nicely, i'll tell youuu..â you trail off suggestively, enjoying the power you seem to have over him in this moment. a thrill runs through you at the thought of reducing such a strong, confident man to pleading for relieâ and all from the comfort of your own bed, no less.
he grunts, rolling his eyes at your innocent act. how you think you can fool him, he doesn't know. maybe because you're so fucking young? whatever the reason, it's working. he feels his cock throbbing in agreement with your suggestion, a low growl rumbling in his chest.
âbeg, huh? alright then, princess,â his voice drops to a low purr, âon your knees for me, sugar. show me just how much you want to help your big bad toji.â he chuckles, shifting in his seat as he waits for your response. he knows you won't disappointâ not when there's fun to be had.
you smirk to yourself, quite pleased with how easily you've gotten under his skin. you sit up straighter, crossing your legs primly as you respond in a sweet, sing-song voice.
âohhhh toji, you know i'd love to! but...â you draw out the word dramatically, â...i don't think i will. after all, i'm comfy right where i ammm.â
you giggle again, delighting in the frustrated noise he makes on the other end of the line. you can almost feel the heat of his glare through the phone, and it sends a delicious shiver down your spine.
âbesides, didn't anyone ever teach you it's rude to make demands? if you wanna play, you gotta learn some manners first,â you punctuate your words with a wink, even though he can't see it.
his eyes narrow, the annoyance clear in his gaze as he leans back in his chair, crossing his arms over his broad chest. âwell isn't that just fucking rich? demanding manners from someone who clearly hasn't learned them yet themselves.â
he lets out a huff, running a hand through his dark hair in frustration. but despite himself, he can't help but smile at your antics. âfine then, brat. how âbout this? how âbout i give you a little taste of what you're denying me?â
there's a pause as he takes a moment to adjust himself, the sound of rustling fabric filling the silence between you both. he clears his throat, his voice dropping lower still. âhow âbout i take matters into my own hands instead?â
you bite your lip, trying to suppress the excited flutter in your stomach at his words. you can practically imagine the sight of those large, capable hands wrapping around his thick length, and it sends a wave of warmth pooling between your thighs.
âthat sounds... tempting,â you admit, your voice dropping to match his sultry tone. âbut i'm still comfortable here. and besides, i'm not sure how well you handle rejection...â
you let the implication hang in the air, knowing full well how much it would irk him. you can already picture the look of stubborn determination on his faceâ the same look he gets whenever he sets his mind to something.
he snorts, a hint of amusement lacing his voice despite the growing irritation. ârejection? from you? well, ain't that just a fucking shame. please, kid, you don't know the first thing about turning me down.â
his fingers drum impatiently against his thigh, the tension in his body palpable. âlook, i'm giving you a choice here. either you get off that damn bed and come play with me, or i'll just have to find my own release. and trust me, it won't be pretty.â
there's a dangerous edge to his words, a promise of things to come if you continue to deny him. he's not used to being teased like this, and it's starting to grate on his nerves. but goddamn if it's not also turning him on more than he cares to admit.
you shiver at the threat in his voice, a thrill of excitement mixed with a touch of fear. you know exactly what kind of'release' he's referring toâand the thought of it has your core clenching with need.
âohhh, I'm shaking in my boots,â you tease, trying to keep your voice steady despite the ache building inside you. âbut you know what they say, baby... pride comes before a fall.â
you pause, letting the weight of your words sink in. âand honestly? i'm not sure i'd want to be around for the aftermath of your tantrum. seems like it might get messy...â you trail off, leaving the invitation open-ended. you're playing with fire, you knowâ but the thought of seeing him lose control, of witnessing the raw desire etched across his features, is too enticing to resist.
his patience snaps like a twig underfoot. âfuck it,â he growls, standing abruptly and pacing the room in agitation. âiâve had enough of your games, brat.â
he stops in front of the window, gazing out at the cityscape below as he tries to regain his composure. âlisten up, kiddo. iâm coming over. and when i do, weâre gonna forget all about these silly little teases and get down to business.â
there's a finality to his tone, an unspoken command that brooks no argument. he's made up his mind, and now it's time for you to comply. âbe ready,â he adds, his voice low and warning. âor else.â
your heart pounds in your chest at his declaration, a mix of anxiety and anticipation swirling within you. you quickly scramble off the bed, your feet hitting the floor with a soft thud as you rush to prepare yourself.
âor else what?â you challenge lightly, attempting to mask the tremble in your voice. âyou gonna spank me like a naughty child? or maybe you'll just have to punish me some other way...â you let your words hang in the air, suggesting all manner of punishments that send a fresh wave of heat coursing through your veins. you know you're pushing him, testing his limitsâbut part of you craves the chaos that follows such reckless behavior.
he laughs, but there's no humor in it. âdon't tempt me, girl,â he warns, each syllable dripping with barely restrained lust. âbecause believe me, when i get my hands on you, you won't be sitting down for a week.â
he hangs up without another word, leaving you staring at the phone in disbelief. seconds later, there's a sharp knock at the door, followed by the jangle of keys. he must have kept a spare set, you realize, your heart leaping into your throat as the door swings open and he fills the frame.
he looks pissed. and turned on. and maybe a little bit crazy. âhello, sweetheart,â he drawls, stepping into the apartment and closing the door behind him with a resounding click. âready to pay for all that attitude?â
he stalks towards you, a predatory glint in his eye.
your breath catches in your throat as he approaches, the air charged with tension and expectation. you stand frozen in place, unable to tear your gaze away from the fierce intensity in his eyes.
âi... i don't know,â you reply coyly, tilting your head to the side as you feign innocence. âattitude's kinda my thing. what makes you think i'd want to change?â you take a step back, retreating until your back presses against the wall. the cool surface provides a stark contrast to the heat radiating off your flushed skin.
he closes the distance between you in two long strides, one hand slamming against the wall beside your head as he looms over you. his free hand finds your hip, gripping it possessively as he leans in close.
âoh, iâll make you want to change,â he promises darkly, his breath hot against your ear. âiâll make you beg for it, princess. iâll make you scream so loud the whole damn neighborhood will hear you.â
he punctuates his words with a rough grind of his hips against yours, the hard bulge of his arousal pressing insistently against your stomach. âsooo, what's it gonna be, sugar? you gonna be a good girl for daddy? or do i need to teach you a lesson?â his hand slides higher, skimming along your ribcage until his thumb brushes the underside of your breast.
a gasp escapes your lips at the contact, your nipples hardening instantly beneath the thin fabric of your top. you squirm against him, feeling the throbbing pulse of his arousal against your belly.
âi... i...â you stutter, caught between defiance and desire. âdaddy? who said anything about daddies.â your protest falls flat, though, lost amidst the haze of arousal clouding your senses. you arch into his touch, seeking more friction against your sensitive flesh.
âteach me then,â you whisper, a daring gleam in your eyes. âshow me how a real man handles a naughty girl.â
a low chuckle rumbles in his chest, the sound vibrating through you. âwith pleasure,â he purrs, his grip tightening on your hip as he pulls you closer. his other hand moves lower, slipping beneath your skirt to find your panties damp with anticipation. âseems like someone's eager for their lesson,â he taunts, circling his fingertips around your swollen clit.
he pinches the sensitive nub firmly, watching your face for any sign of discomfort. but when none comes, he smirks. âgood girl,â he murmurs approvingly, his fingers continuing their torturous dance.
ânow why don't you show daddy how much you want this?â he coos, leaning in to capture your bottom lip between his teeth. âbend over and spread those legs nice and wide.â a whimper escapes you as his fingers work their magic, sending shockwaves of pleasure rippling through your body. you're already so wet, so desperate for more of his touch.
âplease,â you breathe, the word falling from your lips unbidden. âi need... i need...â you trail off, unable to articulate the overwhelming hunger consuming you. instead, you obey his command, turning and bracing your hands against the wall. you look back at him over your shoulder, your eyes hazy with lust.
âlike this, daddy?â you ask feigned innocent, slowly bending at the waist and arching your back. you reach back with one hand to lift your skirt, revealing the soaked patch of fabric clinging to your ass. âis this what you wanted?â you purr, spreading your thighs wider in blatant invitation.
a guttural groan spills from his throat at the sight before him. âfuck yes,â he growls, stalking forward to press himself against your exposed rear.
his large hands cup your ass cheeks, kneading the supple flesh roughly as he grinds his rock-hard erection against your panty-covered cleft. âsuch a pretty little slut for me,â he praises, his hot breath fanning across your skin.
without warning, he yanks your panties aside and plunges two thick fingers into your dripping channel. âgod, you're so fucking tight,â he grits out, pumping his digits in and out of you at a brutal pace.
he curls them slightly, stroking that spot inside you that makes your knees buckle. âcome on, baby,â he urges, his voice low and commanding. âride my fingers like a good girl.â
a high-pitched moan tears from your throat as he penetrates you, your inner muscles spasming around his invading digits. the combination of pain and pleasure sends you spiraling into a frenzy of desire. âyes, yes, please!â you chant, pushing back against his hand shamelessly.
your pussy clenches greedily around his fingers, soaking them in your juices as he fucks you relentlessly. the sounds of your own arousal fill the roomâmoans, whimpers, the obscene squelch of his fingers moving in and out of your cunt.
ââm going to cum,â you warn, your voice strained and breathless. âif you keep doing that, i'm going to cum all over your hand.â
a wicked grin spreads across his face at your confession, his thrusts becoming even more insistent. âthen let go, sugar,â he encourages, adding a third finger to stretch and fill you further.
he quickens the pace, driving into you with a relentless rhythm designed to push you over the edge. âlet me see how much you love being fucked by daddy,â he taunts, biting down on your shoulder to muffle his own growing arousal.
the sensation of his teeth on your skin only heightens the pleasure coursing through you, making your orgasm that much more imminent. âthat's it, just like that, gooddd, â he coaches, feeling your walls clench and flutter around his fingers.
a keening cry splits the air as your climax crashes over you, waves of intense pleasure ripping through your body. your pussy convulses around his fingers, milking them for every drop of satisfaction they can provide.
âtoji!â you scream his name, the single syllable carrying the weight of your surrender. your entire world narrows down to the feeling of his hand inside you, coaxing every last tremor of bliss from your quivering frame.
gradually, the aftershocks subside, leaving you limp and panting against the wall. âfuck,â you curse weakly, trying to catch your breath. âwhat did you do to me?â
a satisfied smirk plays on his lips as he watches you come undone under his touch. âjust warming you up for the main event,â he teases, pulling his slickened fingers free from your spent pussy with a lewd pop.
he brings his glistening digits to his lips, licking them clean with a lascivious grin. âbut we're not done yet, brat,â he says, his voice laced with promise. âit's time for daddy to get some attention.â
he steps back momentarily, shrugging off his jacket and tossing it aside. his shirt follows suit, revealing the chiseled expanse of his chest and abdomen. he unbuckles his belt with deliberate slowness, letting you take in the full extent of his arousal. âspread those legs wider,â he commands, kicking off his shoes and stepping out of his pants.
a shiver runs through you at the sight of his bare form, his muscles rippling as he moves. there's something undeniably primal about seeing him like this, stripped bare and ready for you. a shaky laugh bubbles from your lips, still tingling from the aftermath of your orgasm. you glance back at him over your shoulder, taking in the sight of his naked lower half.
âlike this?â you ask, parting your thighs even further, exposing yourself fully to his hungry gaze. âis this enough for you, daddy?â
you watch as he discards the rest of his clothes, his muscular physique on full display. the throbbing bulge in his groin draws your attention like a magnet, its size promising pleasures untold.
âare you going to fuck me now?â you ask, tilting your head to the side and giving him a coy smile. âbecause i really hope so,â you added, your voice dripping with feigned nonchalance. âafter all, âm just a naughty girl looking to satisfy her daddy.â
a low chuckle rumbles in his chest, his eyes darkening with raw lust. ânaughty girl indeed,â he agrees, prowling forward until he's standing directly behind you.
his hands roam over your hips, gripping your flesh possessively as he positions himself at your entrance. âbut daddy has other plans for you,â he whispers, pressing the head of his cock against your drenched folds.
he gives a slow, measured thrust, sinking into you inch by delicious inch. âfeel that, sugar?â he asks, pausing to allow you to adjust to his size. "that's just the tip."
a gasp tears from your throat as he finally fills you completely, stretching you in ways you never knew possible. the sensation of being so utterly claimed by him leaves you breathless, your mind spinning with pleasure.
âoh god,â you moan, clutching at the wall for support. âyou're so big... always so big,â you trail off, lost in the exquisite agony of having him buried inside you. he doesn't move for several long moments, allowing you to acclimate to his presence. the tension coiling within you is almost unbearable, each beat of your heart echoing the throbbing pulse of his cock pulsating inside your clenching walls.
âmove,â you beg, finally finding your voice, âplease, fuck me already.â
a smirk tugs at his lips at your plea, his hands tightening their grip on your waist. with a fluid motion, he begins to withdraw, only to slam back into you with bruising force.
each thrust hits deeper than the last, driving you further onto the edge of sanity. âlike that?â he asks, punctuating his words with another punishing thrust. âdoes daddy feel good inside you?â
he sets a ruthless pace, fucking you with a precision that borders on cruel. every stroke sends shocks of pleasure radiating through your body, lighting up your nerves like fireworks on the fourth of july.
âyou're so tight around me,â he growls, leaning over your back to whisper in your ear. âso wet, soooo perfect.â
a strangled whimper escapes your lips as he hammers into you, the sheer intensity of his movements threatening to reduce you to a quivering mess. the sound of your bodies colliding echoes throughout the room, a symphony of carnal desires.
âmhm, oh god yes,â you moan, bracing yourself against the wall as he continues to ravage you. âso bigggg, daddy.â you reach back to grab hold of his ass, urging him to pound into you harder, faster. the sensation of his thick length splitting you open is overwhelming, sending jolts of ecstasy shooting through your veins with every brutal thrust.
âi can't...â you pant, struggling to find the words amidst the haze of pleasure clouding your mind. âi can't hold on much longer...â
a surge of possessive pride courses through him at your admission, fueling his desire to claim you entirely. âhold on, sugar,â he grates out, his voice rough with lust. âdaddy's not done with you yet.â
he pulls back slightly, only to ram into you with renewed vigor. the angle of his thrusts hits that sweet spot inside you, triggering an avalanche of pleasure that threatens to engulf you whole.
âcome for me again,â he demands, biting down on your shoulder to mark you as his once more. âshow daddy how much you want it.â he quickens his pace, his hips snapping forward with abandon. the slap of flesh against flesh grows louder, the sound mixing with your cries to create a lewd chorus of carnality.
a keening wail tears from your throat as he strikes that perfect chord within you, sending you spiraling toward obliviation once more. the coil of pleasure inside you tightens, ready to snap at any moment.
âtoji!â you scream his name, your voice cracking with need. âi'm gonnaââ
your sentence cuts off abruptly as your orgasm washes over you, tearing through you with the force of a tidal wave. your inner walls clamp down hard on his cock, milking him for everything he's worth.
âfuck! fuck!â you sob, riding out the waves of your climax, ââm cumming, âm cumming!â
a guttural groan rips from his throat as your velvety walls spasm around him, the rhythmic squeezing pushing him closer to the brink. âthat's it, baby,â he praises, his voice strained with the effort of holding back his own release. âmilk daddy's cock.â
he continues to thrust through your orgasm, prolonging your pleasure until it borders on pain. âsuch a good little slut,â he growls, one hand coming up to tangle in your hair. he yanks your head back, forcing you to arch your spine as he pounds into you mercilessly.
with a final, brutal thrust, he buries himself to the hilt inside you. a hoarse shout tears from his lips as he finds his own completion, his seed spurting forth to paint your insides white.
the sensation of him filling you up, marking you as his, is indescribable. your entire body trembles with the aftershocks of your orgasm, your legs growing weak beneath you.
âoh goddd,â you pant, collapsing against the wall for support. âyou're so deep... so full, daddy.â
the warmth of his cum flooding your womb sends another ripple of pleasure coursing through you, extending your high well past its natural end. you can't help but push back against him, desperate for every last drop of his essence.
you lean back against him, feeling his strong arms wrap around your waist. the warmth of his body pressed against yours, coupled with the lingering throbs of pleasure coursing through your veins, is simply heavenly.
a satisfied sigh escapes him as he slowly eases out of you, his cock slipping free with a wet pop. he turns you gently in his arms, pulling you flush against his chest.
âfeeling better now, brat?â he teases, his voice still laced with the remnants of his satisfaction. âor do you need some more of daddy's special attention?â he nuzzles into your neck, planting a series of gentle kisses along your sensitive skin. despite the harshness of their lovemaking, there's a tenderness in his touch that speaks volumes about his affection for you.
âyou're amazing when you come undone like that,â he murmurs, his hands roaming over your curves with reverence. âalways so responsive.â
a contented hum vibrates in your throat as he holds you close, his warm breath ghosting over your skin. the tender kisses he plants on your neck send pleasant shivers down your spine, a stark contrast to the intense passion of mere moments ago.
âi think i might need a little more,â you admit, tilting your head to grant him better access. âjust to make sure all that pent-up energy is drained away properly.â
you thread your fingers through his hair, guiding his lips to the crook of your neck where you know he loves to suck and bite. âand maybe some cuddles afterwards,â you add, a playful glint in your eye. you press yourself even closer to him, savoring the solid warmth of his body against yours. your fingers finding his nipple, pinch the hardened bud in between.
a low chuckle rumbles in his chest at your request, his eyes sparkling with amusement. âcuddles, huh? you're really milking this âneedyâ thing for all it's worth, aren't you?â
he captures your lips in a searing kiss, swallowing your gasp as his tongue delves into your mouth. the nip of his teeth on your bottom lip has you whimpering into the embrace, your fingers tangling deeper in his hair.
breaking the kiss, he trails his lips down your neck, pausing to suck a dark bruise into your skin before moving lower. âas for that pent-up energy,â he murmurs, his hot breath washing over your collarbone, âdaddy's got just the thing.â
he drops to his knees, his hands gripping your thighs as he pushes them apart. âspread those pretty legs again for me, sugar.â

Throughout her life, Chloeâs parents would always start humming and singing a specific song. The song they had their first dance to when they fell in love at castlecoming. She had never gone more than a week without hearing the song or hearing about the events that came with it. As much as it could annoy her, it gave her hope that she, too, would fall in love while dancing to the song at her own castlecoming.
But here she was at her own castlecoming, leaning against the wall with Red in the dimly lit hall. Chloe had Redâs red suit jacket draped over her shoulders in an attempt to warm up after they turned the air conditioning up to cool the room down. Her red headed friend didnât want to wear a dress, and the only way her mother allowed that was if Chloe picked it out for her, not trusting her daughter to dress herself. She was fairly merciful in picking out her outfit. However, she did throw in a red bow tie for good measure.
âMmmmmmm~â
Chloe internally groaned. âGreat!â she thought. She turned to her friend and said âThe one song my parents wanted me to dance with someone during, no one in sight.â
She felt Redâs eyes on her. A moment of silenced passed, followed by another.
âMmmmmmm~â
Before there could be a third, Red was fully turned to her with an extended hand.
ââŠ..may I have this dance?â
Chloe blinked at her in shock. RED asking HER to DANCE? SLOW DANCE? To THIS song? What is happening?
She quickly regained her composure and slipped her hand into Redâs extended one.
âYou may.â
Chloe rested her free hand on Redâs shoulder while Redâs slipped around her waist ever so slightly under her own suit jacket.
âSo this is love, mmmmmmm~â
This might have not been how she imagined her castlecoming dance partner, it couldâve been someone much worse. She was glad it was Red. Even if it was just platonic. Even if her friend looked so beautiful in her suit. Even if her bow tie was so endearing to her. Even if she felt giddy when Red offered her her jacket. Even if Redâs dark eyes were staring into hers like there was something she had yet to realize. Even if-
âOh.â
âIâm in love with redâ
âSo this is love~â
And she thinks sheâs okay with that. She decides thatâs a problem for later, just enjoy the dance now.
âThank you so much, Red.â
She let go of Redâs hand and wrapped both arms around her neck and leaning into her, in a hug like position.
âSo this is what makes life divine~â
She felt Red stiffen at sudden contact. After a moment she felt arms wrap around her midsection and a head lean into her shoulder.
âIâm all aglow, mmmmm~â
And maybe this was love.

bikini | r.c.
series masterlist here
read more of my obx fics here
âcome on, y/n. letâs go to the bonfire.â sarah suggested as the two of you sat outside of her house. of course sarah was already in a bikini, but you on the other hand had come straight from work.Â
âi donât have a swimsuit.â you said, putting a hand over your eyes to block the sun. âand i dont wanna go all the way back to my house.â
âyou can wear one of mine! pretty please.â she said in a sing song voice. you knew sarah wanted to go see john b and you had to come along so she had a âcoverâ but you didnât mind.Â
you jokingly rolled your eyes. âyeah, alright. anything for you.â
her face lit up and she pulled out her phone, probably to text john b that the two of you were coming.Â
with sarah engrossed in her phone, you stood up and walked inside to go to sarahâs room to change. you walked up the stairs and into sarahâs room, leaving the door ajar. you didnât think anyone else was there and even so, youâd only be a minute.Â
you knew exactly where sarahâs swimsuits were as you had borrowed them your entire life. you probably only actually owned one.Â
you pulled a pink one out and shimmied out of your pants, pulling the bottoms on.Â
you took off your shirt and bra, ready to put the top on, but the clasp was being difficult.Â
âgoddamit sarah. where the fuck did you put my-â the door had been shoved open and rafe had stormed in, swearing.Â
rafe didnât even realize what he was seeing at first. you had dropped the top to the floor in an attempt to just cover your chest up with your hands.Â
âoh shit, sorry. i- uh.â rafe stumbled through his words. and rafe did not stumble. the truth was he thought you were beautiful but seeing you topless just made his pants tighten. he couldnât help but look.Â
âfuck rafe, you almost gave me a heart attack.â you said, a blush creeping up your cheeks.Â
rafe turned his head, âi didnât know you were here, mâsorry.â he shook his head and turned to walk out.Â
âwait rafe.â
those two words stopped his heart. he turned back to see your face scrunched up and eyes closed for a moment - trying to rid the embarrassment.Â
âi canât get the clasp unhooked.â you motioned your head down to the floor not wanting to move your arms and risk him seeing anything else.Â
rafe didnât know what to say so he kneeled down to pick it up. your breathe caught - he was so close to you and boy did he look good on his knees. you bit your lip and tried to look away.Â
he stood up, now him towering over you. âturn around.â he said softly as he undid the clasp with a certain ease.Â
you followed directions immediately and rafe had to bite his lip to keep from groaning - you had listened. he couldnât stop his mind from thinking if youâd be like that in bed.Â
âi wonât look. promise.â he mumbled and handing you the now open top.Â
you blushed again, wishing he wanted to look.Â
you secured it on but there was still the issue of the clasp. âcan you help me again?â you asked quietly.Â
rafe grinned and brushed your hair to one side of your shoulder, âcourse i can, sweetheart.â
sweetheart. one word that made your knees almost buckle. you shivered a little when he touched your skin.Â
once the swimsuit was secured, you turned around and smiled at him, âthank you.â you got on your tippy toes and kissed his cheek.Â
slightly embarrassed still, your feet fell flat to the ground and you looked down.
rafe leant down to your ear and whispered, âdonât be ashamed. youâre fucking gorgeous.â
that certainly didnât help the flush you were already feeling. you bit your lip and rafe's hand went to cup your cheek. he tilted your chin up so you were looking at him and his thumb grazed your lower lip.Â
you gasped slightly and opened your mouth. ârafe, i-uh-â you couldnât speak. your thoughts a jumbled mess.Â
his thumb then ever so subtly slid into your mouth and grazed your bottom teeth.Â
you sucked in a breath and he smiled then saying, âiâll see you at the party, yeah?âÂ
all you could do was nod as his thumb grazed both your lips once more until he turned and walked away leaving your heart hammering.Â

*watching Hazbin Hotel and sees this deer man kicking his feet* I must have this in a fic!
Lovesick Alastor
Alastor X Reader
Warning â
â The tale of the Radio Demon falling in love. Blood, possessive, obsessive, yandere coded Alastor â
Alastor had felt indifferent to romance for years.
What a silly thing! It was too stupid, dangerous, something that can turn you into a fool and get you killed.
Yes, he stayed cleared of it in life and in Hell.
That is until he got to know you.
You.
A lovely demon that is passionate in everything they do. A strong, powerful, and loving person who can be a bit of a klutz at times.
The first time he met you, you were dancing and singing to a song playing on the phonograph, the vinyl having a very energizing tune.
Rosie had sent him to you to try and start up a deal. You were starting up a shop nearby the colony and needed help getting your footing into the door. Your store was lacking in attention.
The perfect person to get a soul from.
Something held him back though. He just had to get to know the demon that tripped over their feet when spotting him.
"Falling for me already?", he joked.
But it was him who fell first.
You shined so brightly, how could he not?
Instead of having your soul the Radio Demon set out to have your heart.
Rosie was surprised that her friend did not make a deal and questioned him, curious with the change.
"Alastor, you never turn down a deal! Especially when this one is so easy.", she put down her tea cup, setting it down on the saucer.
"It's nothing to be concerned about, really. I just found something better.", he grinned and ate an appetizer.
"Hmm, alright. If you say so.", she let it drop for now.
Alastor paid a visit to your shop everyday.
He helped you renovate, pick out the best products for you to sell, and even had the pleasure to celebrate the first official opening.
Your shop was that of knick-knacks, it had things for customization. Mostly for anniversaries, birthdays, and celebration sorts. Doing things like engraving, embroidery, and carving.
One day you gave him a gift of his own.
"I wanted to thank you for all the help you've given me over the past few months.", you smiled and gently placed a small round box in his hand. "I hope you like it."
"Oh! And what is this?", he said and opened it, hearing music and a small smoke figures rising from the box to dance.
He noticed that the figure looked a lot like him and you, which got his dead heart to skip.
"This is wonderful."
Alastor looked up from the box and saw you beaming with joy.
"I'm so glad you like it!"
"No darling, I love it.", he corrected and took your hand. "If my guess is right, might I have the pleasure of courting you?"
"Only if you are true.", you squeezed his hand.
"Nothing but for you.", he lifted your hand and placed a kiss on your knuckles.
After that he quickly went to Rosie and almost kicked the door down.
"I have news!"
"Don't you kick my door!", his friend walked over to greet him.
The Radio Demon's smile was wide and he had an extra bounce in his step.
"I have news."
"You've said that already.", Rosie guided him over to her office.
After settling in, she sat down and patted the seat next to her. "Now, tell me what's got you so theatrical. Not that you aren't but this is more than usual."
"I can't sit now! I have to prepare!", the red dressed demon exclaimed. "I've begun courting someone and they've already given me a gift. I must return that tenfold! No! A hundred times more! A thousand! Millions!"
Rosie gasped and stood in shock.
"You? In love? I never thought I'd see the day!"
Alastor quickly turned towards the door. "I need to get them flowers!"
The woman quickly put a stop to his rambling.
"Now hold on old boy.", she sat him down. "Have you given thought to what they like the most? Surely you must have more ideas than just the old rose bouquet."
"Of course!", he laughed and pulled out a list from his chest pocket.
Once getting the all clear from his friend, and more ideas for gifts and actions, he took off to get something that would make you happy.
Alastor did everything and more.
Spoiling you with anything you could ever desire. Of course, this also caught the attention of his rival.
"When the fuck did this happen!?", Vox stared at the distorted screen.
It was a picture of the Radio Demon and a lovely looking thing on his arm.
"Don't know but its what Velvette found while scrolling.", Valentino said while cleaning his gun. "They don't look that entertaining."
The next day you found the underling of T.V. Overlord in your shop.
"Hello? Is there something you'd like to place an order on?", you asked walking over.
"Hello! My boss sent me here.", they handed a clipboard to you. "Please sign here for the package."
"Package? I didn't buy anything.", you said confused.
"Something was sent to you from my boss. This is just for confirmation that you received it.", they pushed it closer to you.
"Why?", you looked over the paper, not even taking the clipboard from the demon.
"Please just sign it.", they sighed.
"Dear? What's taking so long?", Alastor walked out of the back room, static growing louder once seeing the demon with the Vox-tech logo on his jacket. "Why are you here?"
"I'm j-just doing my job, sir.", the demon froze.
"Alastor.", you said, quickly getting the deer demon's attention. "I'll handle this. Don't you worry.", you smiled.
"Very well.", he quickly agreed and backed off, glaring at the demon. "Don't let this take long.", he threatened them.
You turned to the demon and smiled.
"I reject it, whatever it is."
Of course Vox wasn't happy with that.
Alastor was pissed.
How dare that piece of technologic crap try and get your attention. You were his, he had your affection first and it would also be your last. You would be with him forever and no one will take you.
So, to make sure this didn't happen again, the smiling demon sent back the Vox-tech worker back in a bloody box.
"Darling~", he hugged you from behind.
Both of you were in the back of your shop again, you were going over your stock.
"Come with me to this hotel I saw on the news. It looks quite entertaining!"
"I'd love to Alastor but you know I have to do my work.", you caressed the side of his face. "I'll let you know when I can visit as soon as I'm done with the set of rings."
"Rings?", he asked.
"Yes, there was this couple celebrating an anniversary and wanted their wedding rings engraved.", you smiled.
"Still together even after death? How romantic.", the deer commented. "I suppose I can wait for a bit longer. Though I do wish you could just drop everything."
"You know I can't.", you laughed and kissed his cheek.
Satisfied for now, the Radio Demon left for the hotel. Of course not everything was a smooth sailing but he managed to get everything settled for you to join him.
And when you did he was ecstatic.
"Darling! I see you finished those rings!", he twirled you in a hug.
"I missed you too love.", you hugged back.
The hazbin crew was shocked seeing him so affectionate with you.
"Who the fuck is this?"
"Oh how rude of me!", Alastor set you down but still held you close. "This is my significant other!"
"The fuck! Is this why you kept saying no to my offers!?", Angel crossed his arms.
"They are not the only reason! You are disgusting!", the deer demon grinned.
"What offers?", you questioned.
"This fellow kept offering to warm my bed dear."
"Oh?"
The room got darker and the walls started to distort.
"Hold on!", a blonde jumped in. "There is no killing guests in the hotel!"
"Charlie! Get away from them!", a white haired woman ran over with a spear.
You rolled your eyes and stopped.
"Sorry.", you smiled. "Didn't mean to scare you, I wouldn't dream of ruining your carpets!"
The two calmed down.
Alastor laughed and pulled you away from the group. "Don't you worry my darling, I made sure to threaten the spider properly. Let me show you around! I have a room set up to your liking."
"What? When did you-?"
"Let's go!", he teleported you with him using his shadows.
Everyone stood confused in the lobby.
"When the fuck did he start dating? How crazy is that demon to accept?"
Meanwhile you and Alastor were in your own little world. He showed you your hotel room and conjured up a door to connect your rooms together.
"If its too much I can get rid of the door.", he said and turned to look back at you. "What do you think?"
"Its very sweet of you.", you yanked him down by his bowtie. "Why didn't you tell me about the first time that spider made a comment like that?", you said in a commanding tone.
Your deer chuckled and kissed you.
"Because I knew that you would get jealous and I love to see you get like this.", he pulled you by the waist and into a dip. "We both know that I'd never accept something like that. Especially if its not you."
"I won't go there.", you moved your hands to hold his face. "I know you don't like things like that."
"I appreciate it my love.", he pulled you back up. "Now, what else would you like to do?"
"They said no killing, right?", you asked.
"Yes, no sinning here in the hotel my dearest.", he went to lie down on your bed.
"I can give him a good scare though.", you smiled and laughed darkly, plotting out a scheme.
Alastor sighed dreamily, kicking his feet back and forth as he watched you set up a plan.
Yes, he had fallen but he doesn't regret it.
Not one bit.

Warning: NSFW
Character aged up
You ask Katsuki if you can paint his PPđ€:
âNo! Get the hell away from me!â And he starts walking away from you.
âBut Katsuki! Iâd make it so pretty. I already have a vision in mind. I want to paint it into a microphone! Maybe sing a song into it.â You say following behind him, positive you arenât helping your situation.
âY/N if you donât get away from me right now, we are breaking up. Iâm packing my shit and leaving and youâll never see me ever again! I meant it.â And he plops down on the couch with an exaggerated groan. âYouâve lost your entire fucking mind, smooth brain.â
You know youâre gonna have to grovel for this one. You try to slide yourself onto his lap, but he pushes you off and you bounce a little on the couch cushions.
âNo, youâre not kissing and snuggling your way into this. Iâm not letting you practice your goddamn painting skills on my dick. Where do you even come up with this shit?â He says now looking at you with wide, concerned eyes.
âWell I was scrolling on TikTok-â
âAnd there it goes. Iâm not even surprised.â
You lean over and run your hands over the his wide chest and buff arms.
ââSuki when you think about, a microphone is only two colors. Black and grey. It would only take me like 5 minutes.â And then you start pressing kisses to his neck. âPretty please. Iâll even hop in the shower with you after and help you clean up.â Thereâs a sultry lilt to your voice. This is something you pull out all the weapons in your arsenal for.
âY/N i go along with a lot of your dumbass ideas, but Iâm drawing the line. No paint on my d-dick. Fuck, cut it out.â You had slipped your hands down his stomach and right under the shorts he had on.
âBut itâll be easier to paint if its hard Kat, donât ya think?â You whisper up against his ear. You run your thumb over the top and smear the precum over his slit.
âUgghhh. I hate you, you know that.â He groans really low.
âMmmmhhh. Pretty please,â you say and stroke down to the base of his cock and then back up. âWith a cherry on top.â
âYou have 10 f-fucking minutes! And that paint better be safe for skin or I swear to god!â He shouts at you.
Youâre up and off the couch before he can even finish that sentence and within a minute youâre back with the paint you already had prepared and brushes.
You get down on your knees, in between his legs, and place your supplies on the ground next you. For him to be so against it, heâs already pulled off his shirt and underwear. Heâs accepted his fate.
âOkay, if any of the brushes are uncomfortable or the paints donât feel good, let me know k?â You say looking up at him.
This man has his arms crossed over his chest and heâs glaring daggers into you.
âWhat the hell ever woman. Hurry up, your timeâs tickin.â
So you pick up a big fluffy brush and dip it into the black paint before you start working on the base of his dick.
As soon as the brush touches against his skin Katsuki screams bloody murder. Its scared the hell out of you and youâre surprised at yourself that you donât drop the damn brush and get paint everywhere.
When you look up at him to ask him whatâs wrong the bastard has a smirk on his goddamn face his shoulder are shaking because heâs holding in his laughter.
âYou shouldâve seen yourself. Your entire body took a screenshot. I thought you might go into shock.â Now heâs outwardly laughing loud as fuck.
He thinks heâs such a comedian. Well too bad for him because weâre a freakin party clown.
While heâs still laughing you bend down and take the head of his cock in your mouth and swirl your tongue all over it.
His laugh is cut short and you look up to see him squeezing his eyes shut. You pull your head back up and give him a sweet smile.
âSo now, how about you cut out the jokes and let me focus on my masterpiece.â And you hear him grumble back some kind of rude response but you take that as an understanding.
You breathe and try to gain your composure before you start back on the task in front of you. You again start at the base of his cock and then do long stokes upwards until you get right below the shroomed tip.
Youâre about halfway through when you notice his cock twitching and leaking pre all over.
Oh my gosh he likes this. Or it at least feels good because damn. When you look up at him thereâs a blush covering his face and his lips are tight like heâs trying to hold in sounds that might escape. His eyes though are trained on the brush in your hand as you work.
You were about to speak when he cut you off, âDonât. Just hurry up and finishâ
âYes sirâ you say slyly as your start working on the other side.
âOk. Base is done. Now the tip, I know how sensitive you are so Iâll try to be gentle.â And now youâre the one with a smirk on your face. âLook I canât paint correctly if thereâs precum constantly leaking up here.â
âThe fuck do you want me to do. Iâm not making it leak out on purpose.â He rolls his eyes at, throws his head back and uses his arm to cover his face. Hes not quick enough to cover the blush thatâs dusting his cheeks.
Itâs so funny that he still get embarrassed in front of you. You take your thumb and lightly run it over the top to pick up as much pre as possible then you pop it in your mouth. Then you get to work.
You dab lightly around it and make sure to avoid the opening. You hear Katsukiâs breath become more ragged.
âOk, Iâm all done. Take a look.â He removes his arms and leans his head back up. You see that his eyes are blown but you try to ignore it for now. âDo you see the vision?â
âThis is so dumb.â Is the only answer you get from him.
Next thing you know youâve wrapped your hand around it and you start singing. âANNNNDDDDD IIIIIIIIIâeeeee-IIIIII will always love Y-â
Youâre cut off because heâs gotten up grabbing you with him and now youâre thrown over his shoulder.
âIâm done with this. Not about to watch you sing Karaoke into my penis. You promised me a shower.âhe says as he starts striding toward the bathroom.
âBut I wasnât done! I wanted to take pictures and maybe rap a verse or two. Kats wait dammit.â
âNo. I was nice. I let you play and have your fun. Now itâs my turn to play around and have some fun.â You can hear the smug grin on his face.
You take this opportunity and slap his naked ass hard asf. You were right outside the bathroom door and the jerk sets you on your feet so quickly you feel like youâre gonna fall.
âYouâre gonna pay for that brat.â
And oh do you pay for it.đ

the aftermath of being turned into an ex jujutsu kaisen â gojo satoru.
gojo's a man of commitment. if rounding up a âbandâ to serenade you into taking him back is what'll do the trick, then he'll organize it.
+ extra. this is meant to be unserious dont attack me for mischaracterization n shi đ
âwe're done.â
âwe are not!â
in the end, he got kicked out. due to the shame he felt by being kicked out of a house he once lived in, satoru actually leaves. don't party too soon though, he's going to come back within five hours.
the plan he had in mind was simple: go to the department store, buy some roses, a poster, led lights, a table, some chocolates, and hire a band. for this the budget will be endless.
you thought you got rid of satoru but little did you know that he still has his share of keys. with that trick up his sleeve, he unlocks the gate, sneaking in everyone and the props.
satoru wasn't able to hire a band, but he was able to get a substitute. you see, todo, inumaki, and yuuji have hidden talents. they can all play instruments and one can sing! he always knew there was a reason why he's proud of his students.
quietly, the four men set the stage that's actually your front yard. in the center holds the white table with a black satin cloth delicately placed on it. the three bouquets of roses sit beautifully on the table. some petals were picked out and carefully spotted as well. on the table's center held the chocolate and wine â your favourite wine, to be exact. the finishing touch is the led lights. they're circling the ground, illuminating it with a soft yellow glow.
at the right and left sides of the table are inumaki and yuuji. inumaki's holding a wooden guitar while yuuji holds the hand drum. todo's position is in front of the table but a little off-center. he's holding the microphone, ready to pour his heart out on the song.
the star, satoru, is the one in the center. one hand hides behind his back. it's holding another rose bouquet with hundred-dollar bills wrapped with the roses. his free hand holds his phone. as soon as the clock strikes 7:00PM, he's going to call you. everything should play out perfectly.
anxiously watching his wristwatch switch from 6:59 to 7:00, he immediately calls you. one, two, three, six rings later you answered.
âyou. i forgot to block you.â
âexcuse me?â satoru scoffs, âwhatever, i'm not calling for that.â
âchop chop then. i don't have all night.â
âcan you come outside?â
âno. i will be calling the police.â
âOH C'MON,â he whines, getting desperate. âplease? after this i'll leave you alone. promise.â
â...â
yuuji painfully watches. he feels incredibly sorry for his teacher. he doesn't deserve this!
âi don't think this is going good,â yuuji whispers to the boys, moving his head side-to-side.
todo raises his fist, gesturing to the boys to have some faith. âlet's put our hopes high.â
they watch satoru closely. his hand that held the phone dramatically dropped to his side. slowly, he turns his head to face the boys behind him. his face breaks their hearts. he's pouting with eyes nearing tears â a pain only males like them can understand!
before satoru can say something, the front door clicks open. as it swings open aggressively, you made yourself tonight's main star unwillingly. you were not dressed for whatever this occasion is. your front yard has been ruined, your ex is there, three of his students you've met a few times, and while they're in suits, you're in a fancy robe with fluffy indoor slippers.
your eyebrows crease together, just when did they do all of this?! maybe it's time to install cameras.
âsatoru, what the fuck did you do to myââ
âshh, tonight it's just you and him,â todo cuts you off, switching the mic on and beginning his performance. inumaki tunes the guitar and starts stringing random strings in hopes that they sound good. yuuji follows by tapping a simple âdun-da-da-dun-dunâ beat on the drums.
your mouth's now opened. baffled by the sight, you stood there motionless.
âi have died every day waiting for you~â
as todo sings, satoru walks up to you, cheekily smiling at your shocked expression.
you back away from him, eyebrows still furrowed at whatever's going on.
âdarling, don't be afraid~â
at this lyric, satoru takes the opportunity to shove his phone back into his pocket and grab your wrist. although you attempted to wriggle free, you are no match for his strength. gently, he pulls you into the yard.
both your eyes lock on each other. you search his eyes for emotions, he searches yours for any signs of longing. it's not there, he thinks. he feels a pinch in his heart, but it won't stop him. sending you a wink, he pulls you closer to the table.
âi have loved you for a thousand years (ooh)~â
âseriously, what's all this bullshit?!â you whisper-yelled at him, using your other hand to point at the table.
satoru simply shrugs.
âi'll love you for a thou-sand more (ooh, yeah)~â
todo ends his singing, clapping along with the other two to end the performance. it was the most touching thing he's ever done besides gifting yuuji and his idol a trio matching keychains set.
satoru coughs three times in attempts to hide his laugh. this has probably been the most unserious yet serious he's ever been, but his perfomance doesn't end there. he still has something else to whip out.
âbabyââ
âthat's not my name,â you cut him off.
âanyway. as i was saying,â he stops, revealing the rose bouquet with multiple hundred-dollar bills. âall of these are yours.â
your eyes bulge, but you quickly regain yourself.
âi'm not going to be won over with some roses and money.â
âthere's wine and chocolates too,â yuuji says, immediately shutting up after you shot him a look.
inumaki stands awkwardly. he feels immense second-hand embarrassment. to counter such feelings, he starts playing the guitar again.
satoru cups the side of your face with his hand. his thumb caresses your cheek as he locks his eyes on yours again.
âi was serious about not breaking up, y'know,â he softly speaks, âi know i'm pushing it and all that stuff but i don't think i can leave you.â
it's once again your turn to be speechless. at this point, you're sure that there's no way all of this is happening in one night.
since you won't take hold of the bouquet, satoru places it in your hand. to solidify it even more, he lifts your other hand to place a kiss on it.
âwhat level of romance is this?â again, yuuji speaks. this time, it's satoru who gestures him to quiet down.
inumaki's still playing the out-of-tune guitar, enjoying the way the wind gently blows. it's truly a beautiful night. under the full moon's light, you and satoru glow together.
todo gears up for another round of singing. he immediately does a dragged-out âooh~â adlib. this, however, wasn't going to last as long as his previous one did.
âNO â no more, please. you have a wonderful voice but i've heard enough. please.â you turned around to todo, begging him to mute the mic and possibly himself.
âand you,â you turn back to face satoru, âclean this up, get the boys home safely, and then come back.â
after that, you walked back to inside your house with the bouquet, making it satoru's turn to be left speechless. he still didn't win you over with some roses and money (wine and chocolates too) but his stupid commitment to keeping the relationship is what did.

Could you write where baby!sainz is a performer like Beyoncé or Megan Thee Stallion and she just went on tour and one of her songs she gives out a lap dance and one of the younger drivers (Lance/Logan/Zhou/Oscar) is the one getting lap dance and everyone else is jealous
Or since Lando has filmed a couple of videos with the sidemen maybe one of the boys flirt with her or get her in a sidemen Sunday where theyâre her butlers for a day/week or theyâre doing a 20 vs 1 and the boys are apart of the 20 and theyâre wives/gfs are fangirling
Hope those made sense
Sooo, I never saw Megan Thee Stallion's performance. However, I adjusted things, so.....Enjoy!!! Let me know if you have any whishes!
-XoXo
No Part 2!!!
She's dancing like a stripper
Oscar couldn't believe it. Bright lights blinded him, the screams of the thousands of fans making his ears ring. The metal chair he was sitting on was vibrating from the guitar bass. Everything was starting to become too much, when his vision was filled with an angel. She was starring at him, a playful smile on her lips. Instead of wearing her sparkly dress, she now wore a skimpy outfit. Her high-heels brought her closer to him, her hands landing softly on his shoulders.
"Sidney, are you ready for the final?" Amira asked, turning her upper body towards the screaming crowd. The yelled so loud, that Amira slightly winced from the volume. "Because this was such an requested song, I will now sing "Favourite". But as you all know, this song has a special dance as well. And who could help me better, than our home-boy Oscar?" The crowd went wilde. They all knew that "special dance" was just a sweeter term for lap dance.
When the music picked up, Oscar's hands started sweating. Amira slowly lowered herself on his lap, his veiny hands immediately landing on her tights. When she started rocking herself on his lap, a low groan left his lips. Amira's hands brought his head closer to her breast. Before he could get too lost in his thoughts, Amira went of his lap.
She walked three steps away from him, some pf her backup dancers following her. She fell on her knees, spreading her legs. Two of her backup dancers, Sarah and Cheyenne, touched her body from behind. Sarah was busy touching her upper body, while Cheyenne ran her hands on the inside of her tights. Both of the girls brought their heads closer to the girl. Because their breaths tickled her, she had to laugh slightly.
When the refrain started, she crawled on her hands a bit, giving Oscar the perfect view of her ass. She lied on her upper body, ass in the air, when she turned on her back. Amira arched her back, spreading her legs once again. 'God, she's killing me here' was Oscars only thought. He gripped the armrest tightly when he saw Amira approaching again.
This time she sat down on his lap with her back turned towards his. She brought one of his hands very, very close to her privat parts, while she brought the other one on her neck. Her hand fisted his hair, brining him to her neck. Before he could stop himself, Oscar started kissing her neck. He slowly trailed his lips to her cheeks, moaning quietly in her ear. After a moment he realised that her hip movement spelled the word "coconut". God, this girl was truly something else.
When the song neared his end, Amira turned her face to Oscar, Their lips where close to touching. Before something more could happen, the roar of the crowd interrupted their little moment. Amira got up and smiled at all of the fans. She turned to Oscar, hugging him and whispering her thanks. With a Ferrari red face, Oscar left the stage. He really needed a cold shower now.
Bonus (+)
"No, this is unfair. This is so fucking unfair" muttered Logan, his eyes fixed on the couple on stage. Lando was standing next to him, his mouth agape. How the fuck did his teammate get so lucky? Shouldn't he, as the older one of the two, be the one to receive the lap dance? Charles, George, Alex and Pierre were busy filming the whole thing for their girlfriends, while also enjoying the show. Yuki as well enjoyed the show, while snacking on some crisps. All of them were so intrudged that they let out some noise of complaint when the show ended. After a moment, George stated: "Thank fuck that Carlos is sick today", receiving nods from the others.

Get Into The Groove | Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader
Summary:Â Eddie finds you dancing while youâre home alone and, unsurprisingly, the sight has him careening into the bottomless gorge that is loving you all over again.
Pairing:Â Eddie Munson (Stranger Things, 2022) x Fem!Reader
Word Count:Â 1.2k
Tags: allusions to sexy times 18+ only, no actual smut, FLUFF cuz Iâm a sucka for it, established relationship, reader is explicitly referred to as âgirlâ and âwomanâ
Authorâs Note: Just an itty bitty thing that came to me a while ago that I jotted down in between work and school :P hope you like it! And if youâd like to enhance the experience listen to Into the Groove by Madonna and Wango Tango by Ted Nugent!
There are few things that Eddie Munson looks forward to in life: a well-planned D&D campaign, a perfectly rolled jointâ the premium shitâ and getting home to you.
He whistles to himself as he skips up the steps of his trailer, chains and leather creaking with each step he takes and every key he flips in his hand. The entire day he had been anticipating this moment, just as he does every weekday, where he can come home to a warm and secluded trailer, see you and kiss you the same way he did before he left to workâ deep and passionate and long enough to make you dizzyâ and sink into his worn-in spot on the couch with you under his arm. He smiles at the comforting thought as he pushes the door in, humming under his breath as he steps inside.Â
He drops his keys into the ceramic bowl near the door with a clink before he begins peeling his jacket and vest off. His arm is halfway in and out of his jacket as his ears perk at the music trailing down the hall from his room. He finishes shrugging his jacket off, tossing it over the La-Z-Boy before he stalks towards his room, taking care to cushion his steps. As he gets closer he can make out the faint synth and the clap of the drum machine; itâs Madonna, he realizes.
He dips his head to peek through the slit between the door and the frame, eyes glowing with mirth as a wide grin consumes his face.
Only when Iâm dancing can I feel this freeâŠ
He hadn't expected to find this upon coming home. Youâre usually stretched out across the sofa or his bed, mentally marking the bubbles of a quiz inside a Cosmo that Nancy let you borrow or smiling to yourself as you flip through the pages of one of your bodice ripper romances. Instead, from his vantage point, he can see you singing along to the tape that youâve popped into his stereo, sipping a black cherry Tab as you skip around his room tidying up the cluttered space. You pick up discarded clothes from his floor, pinching that lacy number he stripped off of you that morning and dangling it over your pointer finger as you absentmindedly twirl it around before tossing it into the hamper.
Tonight Iâm gonna dance with someone elseâŠ
As the song builds to its chorus you drop the clothes you're working with, take one more gulp of your soda and start bobbing your head and shaking your hips. With the way you sway, he can't help but admire how your frame fits under one of his ragged sleep shirts. Your legs are bare and enticing as you prance around with only your underwear on underneath, the reliable lilac pair that you wear flashing at him with every punctuated glide you make down your legs before flipping your hair back.Â
Get into the groove,
Boy youâve got to prove,
Your love to meâŠ
Your voice picks up in confidence and volume. Even if you're not classically trained, you make up for the wavering notes and shifting keys with your enthusiasm as you stomp about his room, shaking your head and shifting your hair as you swivel and cock your hips in a way that has Eddie swooning against the door frame. The door kicks open wider as he watches you, tongue licking at his canine in amusement and adoration.
Your singing subdues into little mumbled harmonies and a few enunciated riffs as you drag your hands from your thighs up your rocking body, your fingers catching the hem of your shirt and lifting it over your ass to offer just a blink-and-youâll-miss-it glimpse. You writhe like a charmed snake in a wicker basket, your hands meeting over your head as you slither in mesmerizing forms.
You fall away from your dance but maintain the skip in your step and the nod in your head as you bend over and snatch a pair of Eddie's boxers from the floor. You twirl in place, boxers held to your chest as you get lost in the music, shifting your feet to twist you around, eyes closed blissfully.
âAt night I lock the doors, where no one else can seeâ AH!â
You scream, chucking the boxers at Eddieâs head as youâre startled. He ducks as the garment soars over his head and he laughs at your reaction.
âJesus, sweetheart! You almost took me out with my own drawers!â
âEddie!â You scold, with wide eyes and a small crinkle between your brows, âYou scared the shit out of me!â
Youâre clutching your chest with one hand as your breath relaxes but your eyes screw up in mild anger at the fact that he snuck up on you.
âMâsorry! Didnât want to interrupt the show.â
You groan, your hands crawling over your face as you wince, âYou saw that?â
Eddie steps towards you, soothing your embarrassment by rubbing at your arms.
âMm-hmm, and, if I may say so,â he leans in to whisper into your ear, âit was very sexy.â
You sputter out a giggle at him before taking your hands and pulling at the loose thread along the collar of his t-shirtâ perhaps youâre the reason all of his shirts have holes along the collar.
âOf course you would find it sexy,â you tease as your fingers migrate upwards to play with the ends of his hair. âYou could watch me floss my teeth and get a semi.â
âCan you blame a guy?â He laughs, wrapping his arms around your waist to draw you closer. âWith a girl as smokinâ as you, itâs impossible to keep the little guy down.â
You snort, letting your head fall into his chest as he strokes your hair.
You bask in the silence for a moment, the two of you shuffling your feet and breathing each other in. The songâs ended by now and moved on to another poppy dance number that fades into the background.
âThink you can teach me some of those moves?â He questions into your hairline.
You hum, a smile coating the sound as you lean back to look into his eyes.
âI dunno, donât think youâre limber enough to pull off some of these crazed gyrations of this rock generation.â
He smiles down at you, leaning close enough to nip at your lips, âIâll have you know Iâm a proper Johnny Castle, baby.â His smile gives way to a contemplative yet amused shape, âAnd did you just quote Ted Nugent to me?â
You nod your head as a wide grin splits across your face.
âOh, you don't know what you do to me, woman!â
You squeal as he hoists you up and throws you onto his bed, your head falling back against his pillows as you laugh from the excitement of it. You fall into soft hums of laughter that slip past your throat as Eddie follows you down and climbs up your body, nipping at your calves and thighs, pushing his nose against the hem of yourâ well, his shirtâ to reveal that worn lilac cotton that you make look like a whole Victoriaâs Secret set.
âAnd Iâll show you dancing, Iâm quite skilled at Zee Wango, Zee Tango.â

Believing in you
* English is not my first language I apologise
* Triggers: bullying, online hate, swearing and fluff
Summary: Y/N is Landoâs girlfriend, sheâs been there for him since the F2 and believes in him, even when it looks like heâs never going to achieve the things he really wants, becoming a race winner in the formula one.
Lando POV
It was an amazing feeling to win my first race in formula one. Everyone was cheering and chanting my name. âLando, congratulations on your first win. How do you feel.â One of the reporters asks me as I walked back to my car. âIt feels good, I donât have words for it to be honest. I just want to smile.â I flashed them a smile and got in my car. âFirst stop the hotel, then the after party.â I said to myself as I drove away from the circuit. My mind wandered off to my girlfriend y/n, who was back in Monaco. âSheâs probably screaming.â I smiled about that thought, her in my hoodie, screaming at the tv in happiness. Maybe a few tears involving as well. âSheâs been here since the beginningâŠ.â
Flashback to 2018
âCome on Lando, just be positive about it. Maybe they want you to be their next driver, youâre already their reserve driver.â I just had a talk with McLaren about me being their reserve driver and test driver. They didnât said anything about me actually driving for them, only about testing the car and being available during the race weekends. âThey probably want George, just like MercedesâŠâ I sighed and sat down defeated. âLanâŠI know it seems like the whole world is against you but I promise itâs not the case. Just donât bring yourself down.â She wrapped her arms around my neck and sweetly gave me a peck on my lips. âI believe in you Norris.â
End of the flashback
I stopped the car in front of the hotel and got out, people were screaming at me and singing that song about me. âThank you guys.â I waved at them and went inside. I quickly went to my room and sat down on my bed and took a look at my phone. She had texted me about how proud she was of me and that she knew today would be that day. âGodâŠ.sheâs perfect.â I quickly send her a text message back and sent her the same picture I sent to my parents, me smiling happily at my phone while holding the trophy.
Flashback to 2019
I was nervous for my first race for McLaren. My girlfriend y/n was here to support me and so were my parents. âI believe in you Norris.â She says as she placed a soft kiss on my cheek. âDonât get your hopes up, Iâm never this good as my teammate Carlos.â She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. âStop talking like thisâŠitâs your first race of course you probably wonât defeat him but that doesnât mean you are a bad driver Lando.â She gently brushed my shoulders before letting me go to the race track. âIâm always supporting you, no matter what.â
End of the flashback
The team picked me up from the hotel and went to one of the most popular clubs in Miami. âItâs going to be a hell of a party, I heard max is also coming.â I nodded and looked outside the car window, seeing the buildings passing us by. âMaybe Pierre as wellâŠâ they were talking about everything, the clubs, the drivers. I canât blame them, they are just excited about my win.
Flashback to 2020
âYouâre going to be on the podium today, I just know it.â She says through the phone. âI donât know, maybe I crash and dieâŠâ I joked but she didnât find it funny at all. âLando! Donât say thatâŠitâs not funny.â She was a bit upset about the little joke I just made. âOkay okay, Iâm sorry. I didnât mean it like that.â She only shook her head at me. âYouâre on the podium today Norris, donât be an asshole to me, you know I miss you right now.â She looked a bit sad at the camera. âI know you are, I miss you too.â
End of the flashback
I did get on the podium that weekend, my maiden third place. I was over the moon with that one but of course I wanted more. âYou want an other one?â A young girl asked me as she raised her empty cup. âNo thanks.â I said politely as I didnât want her to think Iâm available. âYou sure? Itâs free.â She gave me a wink and a broad smile. âYeah Iâm sure.â Before something weird could happen, max showed up with two drinks in his hands. âOne for you.â He handed me a drink and smiled at the girl. âYou okay?â She nods and disappears. âWeird, what did she want from you?â âEverything, I guess.â I joked as I took a sip from my drink. Max laughed and patted my shoulder. âLadies man.â
Flashback to 2021
Rumours were spreading around the paddock that I was cheating on y/n with some other girl. Of course itâs not true but it did made a scar in our relationship. All the hate to me on the internet, being a shitty driver and a cheater. âI believe in you Norris, I trust you.â She says as she was helping me to pack my bags. âI know, itâs just frustrating that others see me differently.â I sighed and rubbed my face. âIâm not a cheater, you know her sheâs a friend of max.â I shook my head and sat down, feeling worthless. âHey, I know you didnât cheat on me.â She sat down next to me, laying her hand on mine. âWeâll get through this, I love you Lando even with those shitty rumours.â I looked up at her and tried to smile at her. âI know.â I whispered as my voice faded. âCome here.â She opened her arms for me to hug her. âYouâre not alone in this Lan.â
End of the flashback
It was very late when I arrived at the airport, Zak and the rest were there as well. Ready to board the plane. âIâm so dead.â I said as I sat down in my chair. âMe too buddy.â Zak said as he sat down in front of me. âWhat are your plans back in London? Visiting some family or friends?â I nodded tiredly as I checked the time. âYeah, my parents first, maybe some friends.â He nods and gives me a pat on my shoulder. âYou doing fine Lando, weâre all happy to have you in our team.â I smiled tiredly and looked outside the window. âYeahâŠIâm happy too.â
Flashback to 2022
âLetâs move in together.â I said to her as we were building some legos together on my apartment floor. âYour serious?â She looked surprised at me as I just asked her to move in with me. âYeah, why not?â I shrugged and went further with our build. âOmg youâre actually serious.â She throws her arms around my neck and pushes us down on the ground. âLove, of course Iâm serious. You basically live here already.â My arms snaked around her body as she started to give me a few kisses. âIâm so excited to live with you, I need a job here and learn some more French.â She was rambling about everything, when she should move to Monaco and how to plan her days. âYouâre going to be fine, you donât need a job. Youâre dating this muppet remember.â She giggles and shook her head. âI canât do that, but thank you for your offer.â
End of the flashback
I landed in London and went immediately to my parents house, feeling happy but also drained by all the attention and stress. âHello honey! Iâm so proud of you.â My mom said as she greeted me with a hug. âHi mom, thank you.â She guided me inside their house and saw my dad and my siblings waiting for me. âHey guys.â âCongratulations son.â My dad immediately pulled me into his embrace. âThanks dad.â
Flashback to 2023
She was there as I stood on the podium again, she was smiling happily at me. I was feeling proud to make her that happy and she made me happy too. âIâm so proud of you Lan.â She hugged me as soon she got the chance. âThank you my love.â She placed a kiss on my cheek and smiled happily at me. âI knew you would be on the podium today.â It always feels bittersweet, being on the podium but not as the race winner. âYeah, Iâm still Lando Nowins.â She stopped smiling and slightly slapped my chest. âNo, donât listen to that crap. They are haters Lando, there are enough people like me that are supporting you.â I shrugged and wrapped one arm around her shoulders. âWhatever, letâs just go back to the hotel and celebrate.â
End of the flashback
I was a few days in London before I traveled back to Monaco, back to my girl who was waiting for me. I opened the door and before I could step one foot inside she flew into my arms. âLan!â I almost fell as I catches her, holding her tightly. âIâm so proud of you, I knew it.â She buried her face in my neck and I carried her back inside, closing the door behind me with my foot. âI know, I knew it too baby.â She had tears in her eyes, looking so proud at me. âNo more Lando Nowins.â She said with a giggle and I joined her. âYou know that makes me even more proud, proving them wrong.â She nods and kisses me. âYou were never Lando Nowins to me.â I smiled at her and sat her down on our kitchen counter. âI know, Iâm your muppet.â She laughs and nods. âI freaking love you.â I said to her as she looked so beautiful to me, that proud feeling was there again. âI love you too Lan.â

where that ony story at ho�!?!!!!!
ONY- Party Girl
Ony donât play about her
Angst comfort, filthy words for smut (I tried sorry if it suckâs) and cursing.
Yall hoes knows what this is.. that Ony fix a I promised idek how long go soâŠ. My bad yall everything be moving fast during the week. Anyhow I donât like it but here yall go đ
I also tried to not use a name so it I used đ and baby but I got tired of that so thereâs that.
Ony knew he had a beautiful woman, she was everything heâd ever wanted and he reminded and treated her as such.
Ony wasnât famous per se but in the city he was very well known by being a club owner, having a string of very popular clubs since he was twenty two, not only did they know him but they knew his girl the one that had been there with him since their junior year of high school. She, herself was known in her own right owning a very popular nail salon and investing in a string of business that were small but growing. She knew she was the shit, smelling good, looking good, and she was nice.
Setting into their club, Ony and his lady hand in hand greeting people and thanking for coming, girls and bottles in the section. Ony took a sip of his water watching his lady enjoy herself with the strippers and weed. Dancing and having all eyes on her.
âBae Iâm going to the bathroom, you okay?â He said looking into her reddened eyes, licking his puffy lips at the sight of her.
âMâgoodâ she sweetly said her accent getting thicker, clearly having a good time. Nodding his head eyes pointed to his security having a few right near there section, before going to relieve himself. Staying in the section when her favorite song came on âwanna beâ with glorilla, and Megan the stallion. Singing along with the group girls before her favorite part started to come on, which was Meganâs verse.
Standing up for the viral lyrics âget emâ gloâ and âgo megâ throwing her ass in a full circle as the girls around her rallied around her cheering her on. It wasnât until the verse was over when she tried to turn around and sit down did she feel hands on her waist all over her. Quickly realizing she tried to remove the hands but they werenât budging, starting to get annoyed she tried again.
âBro let me go!â She projected over the music that was fading out. Security looking over and going over.
âAye let her go bruh.â
âMane ainât nobody hurting her.â The guy said he looked about fiveâ six/seven at best he had on some distressed bleached jeans the were entirely to small for him and a plain white shirt and some beat up black air forces. He also had some locs that looked like lil Wayneâs and some ill fitting golds.
âNigga, I donât want you touching me.â She said looking him up and down with disgust and her high blown feeling sober, just then did Ony come back from the bathroom seeing everything going on. He instantly got mad speeding up his pace and walking over to his girl.
âWho touched you.â He said standing behind his lady with his fists already balled.
âMane donât nobody want her ran through ass.â The dusty smacked his teeth looking Ony up and down.
âBoy, you came over here being weird touching on her!â One of the strippers, June said.
âThat dusty ass nigga right there.â Baby said and that was all he needed before he sent two quick ones to his jaw and chest before the guy even could put his set up he got hit with a big sucker punch.
âDammnnnnnâ
âShitâ
He was picked up and escorted out, the night had been ruined and now he and baby were going to go home. The ride in the car had been silent leaving baby to feel like sheâd done something wrong. âI mean I was twerking and he mightâve thought something else was going on but I know.â She thought. It wasnât until she felt his bigger hands on her shoulder that she snapped out of her thoughts seeing they were in front of a Waffle House.
âBaby, you wannaâ go in or bring it home and eat it?â He asked his girlfriend then seeing the expression on her face he got out of the car and immediately went over to her side.
âWhatâs wrong, huhâ he softly hummed at her looking her in the eyes knowing that she could crack as say what was wrong.
Snifflingâ what happened at the club Ony I didnât even feel him behind me, I didnât mean- baby he did that shit in purpose he knew you werenât paying attention that wasnât your fault okay?â He asked.
âOkay.â
âStay here ima get our food and we going home alright pretty girl?â He said scooping her head in his hand knowing itâd make her blush and avoid eye contact.
Getting home and eating there food, baby was sitting on his lap cuddled up watching The Lion king, before she started to move over and get on top of him with his back being on the couch and her thighs being in both sides of his body.
Leaning down into his ears she started kissing up and down on him softly moaning in his ear Ony took his right hand and started to rub up and down her ass just like he knew she liked.
âYou like thatâ he teased stoping when she didnât replay making a whine leave her lips before she hummed a yes to him. Slowly peeling off her leggings and underwear he kept eye contact as he ate her all around paying extra attention to her clit.
âOh fuck Onyâ she moaned out fucking herself on his face like she knew he loved, struggling to keep eye contact with him.
âGive me that nut baby!â He said before taking his two fingers and slipping into her wet pussy, stuffing her in and out with his thick fingers. His fingers started to speed up and his other hand playing with her clit quickly, she started to feel her balloon starting to well up.
âOoh fuck daddy Iâm coming.â She said chanting before she squirted and came all over his fingers, which he gladly cleaned.
He turned her over on her back with her legs pointing to the sky. He took off his pants and tapped his heavy dick on her pussy.
âPleaseâ
âPlease what?â He smirked at her pouting leaning down and pecking her lips.
âPlease fuck me daddy.â She begged aching, looking each other deep in the eyes as he slipped in her pussy with his thick, long, and slightly curved dick and started slowly fucking her.
âStop teasing me.â She said and he sped up just like he had just before taking her off guard before drilling into her quickly. Snapping her eyes shut she started moaning a string of fucks.
âMhm you like that huh baby you think that lame could do this baby? Fuck you like this?â He said stretching his legs on into couch putting some on his weight in her legs keeping them into position.
âNooo- he cou.. neva oh fuck daddy.â She stuttered out.
Continuing to pound into her she felt that ballon again. âOoh fuck daddy Iâm coming, Iâm coming.â She said making another mess all over his dick slowly down his strokes they flipped over to cowgirl position.
âOoh fuck baby.â He moaned out as she started ridding him into the sunset. Her smaller hands on his chest as she looking him in the eye bouncing up and down with the help of Ony.
âI love the way you protect me baby, itâs so fucking hot.â She said riding him out.
âI.ldoanythingforyou.â He barely got out Ony was not the type to be quiet during sex he was loud and proud about it.
âOoh fuck baby just like that im about to cum baby.â He said bouncing her harder on his dick. âWhere you want it?â He quickly asked.
âIn me please daddy.â She said as she came on him for the third time and he came together with her. Laying down in the coach catching their breaths before going to get cleaned up.

living w schlatt hcs
guys im down so bad this week and with today's p.o. unboxing i fear it only got worse. anyways i just had a bunch of thoughts ab what it would be like to live w schlatt while y'all are dating. so these are my hcs. (also i am like incredibly new to writing original material so lmk if this is any good fr)
-this is not the first or last time this will be said but this man is an ass grabber. as soon as he knows it's something you're okay with? he's doing it. not in public, bc in my head he's not big on PDA, but when you're at home? every time he passes by you it's a grab of the ass and a big cheesy grin and he sometimes even a kiss on the cheek
-again, not the first time anyone has mentioned this, but this man is giant. 6'4. so he's def a big fan of the hug from behind. he likes to tower over you and kiss the top of your head. whether you're cooking, cleaning, looking out the window, or admiring jambo on his cat tree; he will come up and squeeze you into a hug from behind with no warning.
-"toots, come here rq" just to ask for a kiss while he's working or editing. simply as motivation to keep going. he says "it's like a reward" and you happily oblige.
-since he doesn't really stream anymore, he doesn't play a lot of video games, but when he does, he lets you sit in his lap as long as you sit still and don't distract him... (obviously you do sometimes... not your fault you have needs and he looks so cute when he's focused...)
-the drunk chuckle sandwich episode had me thinking about you playing bartender for him and making him different drinks to try since he usually just drinks straight from the bottle. he would say some shit like "i'm ngl i didn't know you could make it taste that good." bc nobody ever really bothered to make him try different cocktails until you
-super domestic dancing in the kitchen to old music. duke ellington and etta james and all different kinds of jazz and old love songs, it doesn't matter bc he is spinning you around and kissing you softly as it plays in the background while he sings to you.
-not to be cringe but he would sooo be into that thing those couples do when the smaller partner says "uppies!" and then the other one picks them up. except it would just be a look you give him and putting your arms out with a grabby motion and he would know.(bc im sorry the thought of saying uppies makes me wanna gag) he would pick you up and carry you around like a koala with your legs wrapped around his torso AND he's happy to do it. but just at home bc like i said he's not really into pda.
-he would so take candid pics of you at golden hour. you'd just be in the living room looking out the window with jambo or {redacted} and admiring the sunset and next thing you know there's a disposable camera or the little girl camera right in your face. he would so say some stupid shit to get you to laugh and then snap the picture. but once he gets one, you force him to hop in the frame while holding the other cat so you can get a cute little family pic while the lighting is good. obviously, you made it your background within the next ten minutes. and he made his background the candid picture of you the second he got the pictures onto his phone.
ok so hi!! i hope these fed you a little im so incredibly new to this whole writing thing but this was a lot of fun for me so if you have any suggestions i think my ask box is open? idk how those work but im sure i can figure it out. thanks for reading i know i yapped quite a bit LMAO

Late night snack
Paul x GN! Reader
A/n: Guys, I'm down bad for this manđ©
Word count: 1.1k
Warning: slight nsfw themes (minors dni), a lot of sexual tension, allusions to smut, but nothing too explicit, Paul being a delicious looking mf
Prompt: "Is that my shirt?"
One person wearing their lover's clothing with a little spin on it. ;)
Hearing knocking on your window in the middle of the night wasnât an unusual occurrence. It came with having a vampire for a boyfriend. So when the familiar noise interrupted your lazing-around-in-bed-staring-at-the-ceiling-listening-to-music-and-vibing session, you werenât even surprised. Getting up, you strolled over to the window, and upon opening it, you were met with the grinning and blood covered face of your handsome lover.
âBoy, you are a messy eater,â you marveled at the sight. âCome on in, but watch the carpet.â
Paul climbed into your room, carefully navigating around to not smear any remnants of his dinner onto your stuff. His eyes took in your figure as you turned your back to him. His hungry gaze roamed over your bare legs, his stomach twisting in excitement as he caught a glimpse of your underwear peeking out from under the oversized T-shirt when you plopped back down on your bed.
âCute pjâs, babe. Maybe I should come over more often if you greet me like this every time,â he smirked, wiggling his eyebrows.
âMaybe I will let you see more,â you flirted right back, positioning in a way that rid your shirt further back up, showing off more of what was underneath. It earned you an audible groan. âBut only if you take a shower first. Iâm sorry, Paulie, but you reek of death.â
He looked at you like a kicked puppy, lips pouting and everything.
âI donât even get a greeting kiss?â
You rolled your eyes affectionately. âFine, come here, you big dork.â
His beautiful face lit up as he almost pounced on you, only stopping because you held out your hands, barely avoiding a disaster.
âI swear to god, Paul, if you get blood all over the sheets you donât get anything tonight.â
Your warning had an instant effect on him. Now being much more careful, he leaned forward, and you cupped his face between both hands as you pressed soft kisses on his lips. His hands made their way to your bare thighs, supporting his weight on them, fingers digging into your flesh. You let out a sigh as he licked your lower lip, allowing him entrance and deepening the kiss. You were practically panting by the time he finally drew back and let you breathe, his heated gaze boring into your own, before a cheeky grin made its way onto his face.
âYou know, you could join me in the shower.â Your face flushed at the mental image, and you forced your thoughts to stop before they could run away with you.
âA tempting offer, but maybe another time,â you patted his cheek. âI have to take care of your clothes.â
He looked down at them, seemingly only now realizing what a mess they were. âOh.â
âGo ahead, the bathroom is the second door to the right. Just leave your clothes outside on the floor,â you instructed. âThere are towels under the sink, and you can use my shampoo.â
He turned back from your bedroom door.
âThen at least everyone will know Iâm yours, if I smell like you.â He sent you a wink and disappeared down the hall, leaving you dumbstruck and beat red.
You pressed your hand to your cheek, feeling how hot you got. âDamn, youâll be the death of me one day.â
When you heard the slamming of the bathroom door and the shower turning on, you made your way over there to pick up the bloody clothes lying on the floor. Through the sound of rushing water you could faintly make out a tune, realizing that Paul was humming a song from a band you introduced him to. You stood there and listened for a bit with an endearing smile on your lips, wondering how the hell you managed to score such an amazing guy. Humming soon turned into off-key singing, and you chuckled to yourself, finally deciding to get on with your task.
After chucking his clothes into the washer, you first cleaned up the blood he got all over your floor, a trail leading from your window to the puddle in front of your bathroom door. A quick glance in the mirror confirmed that there were smears on your skin as well, signs of your earlier makeout session. You made sure to thoroughly wipe those down too.
The washing machine just finished when you heard the bathroom door open and Paul making his way into your room. You put his stuff into the dryer, then went to see what he was up to. The sight that greeted you made you stop in the doorway, your breath caught in your lungs.
Paul stood next to your open closet, towel sinfully low around his waist, his clean, freshly dried hair cascading down his back in fluffy waves and sticking up at odd angles around his face. With hands on his hips and head adorably tilted, he seemed deep in contemplation as he surveyed your clothes, a few of them already lying discarded on the floor by his leg. But it was the realization of what he was wearing that made you bite your lip, unable to tear your gaze from the view.
âIs that my shirt?â
His head perked up at your voice, blue eyes locking with your own. One side of his mouth curled upward as he turned to you, letting you take in all of him. He was wearing one of your T-shirts, the fabric pulling tight around his shoulders and on his chest, the poor thing entirely too short to cover all of his torso, showing off the lower part of his stomach and the little happy trail leading down under the towel. You were practically salivating.
Your eyes met his and he chuckled at the look on your face.
âSee something you like?â he asked with a cheeky grin.
Instead of answering, you strode over to him, grabbing the back of his neck and pulling him down into a hungry kiss. Your hands got lost in his hair, tugging lightly on the strands, making Paul moan into your mouth.
âYou know, youâre not making it easy for me not to just eat you up when youâre such a snack,â you purred as you separated for some air.
âWho said I had any intention to stop you?â His husky tone made goosebumps rise up on your skin.
âOh, youâre bad.â
âOnly for you, babe.â
He giggled as you tackled him onto the bed, making fast work in ridding him of the towel, but leaving your shirt, not entirely ready to let go of such a sight yet. Needless to say, his wish about a shared shower was granted afterward.

For Tuna; Rook End
A/N: editing this is gonna suck, cause Tumblr is so glitchy today đ but as I'm sure no one is surprised...some of you have been waiting a long time for this specific ending, so I figured he deserved his own title . The next ending is a three way tie, so keep an eye out for a poll in the next couple days.
Chapters One Two Three Choose another End
âRook Hunt, you have been chosen-â
âAt last! The moment has come!â
Grim was immediately second guessing his decision. Y/N had told him all about how Rook's family had multiple villas, so he'd thought he'd be willing to put up with him the one day a year he'd have to. But the man was far too excited.
âWonderful,â Grim said through gritted teeth. âSo what we'll do is, tomorrow-â
âYou're adorable, Monsieur Fuzzball. No need for that though!â
âHuh?â
âI don't need you. Au revoir!â
Rook practically skipped out of the room, singing a cheery tune to himself.
âŠ.
Grim was terrified. All day he'd been waiting for whatever Rook had planned. He'd stuck to your side all day, quivering in anxiety.
âOkay, Grim, what's wrong?â You asked, finally tired of ignoring it for the sake of his pride.
âN- nothing is wrong, human! You insult me.â
âYeah, yeah,â you muttered.Â
You closed the book you'd been reading during the break in the lesson, and turned to him.
âOkay, so what's not wrong, then?â
Grim mumbled under his breath. But you soon forgot all about it, as the lights in the classroom dimmed, followed by a shower of rose petals raining down on all of you.
âWho is responsible?â Trein bellowed, but he was soon forgotten as well, as Rook appeared at the front under a single spotlight, violin music playing to his entrance.
âBon jour!â
âWhat the fuck?â You whispered, quickly realizing that Grim was no longer by your side. He must have taken the opportunity to flee classes. Little rat.
âI am here because I can no longer keep silent about my affections!â He pressed one hand to his heart, the other dramatically extending to the classroom. âI am deeply in love.â
You looked to see if Trein would stop him, but just watched him sigh. Even the teacher knew to just let Rook be Rook.Â
âMon Trickster! My heart beats so hard for you, it is apt to burst into a bloody mess of my adoration.â
There was now a second spotlight on you. You looked around to see where it was coming from, only to find there was no source of it.
A gust of wind picked up around Rook, making the rose petals that had fallen to the floor pick up, and swirl around him.
âMon Tresor, say that you will allow me to forever kneel at your feet. Say that you will allow me to sing your adoration until my vocal cords tear. Say that I can write you poetry until my fingers fall off. Say-â
âGod, Rook! I'd rather have you in one piece,â you cut him off with a laugh.
He stood upright with a light smile, swirling a finger in the air to turn the rose petals into a single rose. He gently kissed it, then tossed it to you across the classroom. You caught it, sniffing it and letting the aroma wash over you.
By the time you looked back up, he was standing right in front of you. You blinked, looking at the spot he was standing, then back at where he stood now. He smiled as though he was unperturbed by your confusion.
âIf I stay in one piece, will you pledge your soul to me?â He asked sweetly.
âMy soul? Not my heart?â
âFor Sevenâs sake, tell the boy whether you love him or not, so I can move on with the class,â Trein snapped.
âOkay! Rook, I like you too!â You said quickly.
âHow exciting!â He snapped his fingers, and you heard the beginning of an orchestral intro.Â
Rook inhaled heavily, and began to sing.
âGoodness, class dismissed!â Trein shouted over the aria, which was not going to stop anytime soon. You gave Trein a pleading look. While you liked Rook, and were totally happy to start seeing him, this song sounded like it would go on for a while. Trein gave you an apologetic look as he shut the door of the classroom, locking it behind him.

-But in a whisper sheâd arrive and danced into my life, like a music melody, like a loverâs song-
You liked acting, it wasnât the passion like it was for Jenna, but you very much enjoyed it. Still, unlike Jenna who lived for doing it, who couldnât think of another thing she would do, you kind of had alternatives. Cooking and MMA being the first that came to your mind, and frankly you figured you could step away from cameras and sets in a heart beat if you felt like it. Perks of liking it but not living for it, you supposed.
Jenna loved it though, you noticed her when she stopped to take a few photos with the fans that recognized her. She wasnât alone, Enrique, her stylist was with her, now that you thought about it two of her movies just came out. Though The Fallout only premiered on a festival and wasnât properly released just yet. Which you couldnât say for Yes Day which came out, and you, of course, watched it, and loved it. You had to get Jenna to sing for you, or with you, as long as she sang something.
You met Enrique in passing, as Jenna had a few Zoom interviews for Babysitter while you were filming Scream, but Jenna adored the man with all of her heart so you immediately took a liking to him.
âAh, so this is why we came to Denver,â Enrique gave Jenna a knowing look and she, considering everything that happened a few nights ago just looked aside. Her face was adorably red, and you found yourself grinning a bit as you approached them. She matured over the past three and a half months, spent a month so far from home, got ridiculously drunk, but she was still the same Jenna you met, still shy, still with a bright smile and soft eyes filled with love.
Her eyes met yours and she let go of one of her suitcases.
âHey there, I missed you,â you told her and that was enough, she just hugged you and you eagerly returned the hug. You missed this, so, so much. It just felt right.
âI missed you too,â even though she relaxed a bit you could feel the tension in her muscles. Just how worried was she about that night? You couldnât even imagine how much it affected her.
Eventually she stepped back and you greeted Enrique as well. âThink you can handle these?â he asked as he pointed toward the two suitcases he was dragging. Jennaâs stuff.
You shrugged and picked them up fairly easily. âGotta put the almost MMA muscles to use,â you laughed.
âGreat, Iâve got another plane to catch,â he said and patted you on the shoulder before sharing a hug with Jenna. âIâll see you soon, Jenna, take care,â you barely spent any time with the man, but you could see he cared about Jenna a lot, and that made you happy.
âYou too, text me when you get back home, okay?â Jenna asked and Enrique nodded.
And so, Jenna and you went toward the exit and toward your car while Enrique went to catch his next plane. From the looks of it, he only came here to help Jenna with her stuff.
Jenna remained silent, but she occasionally glanced at you as you led her to your car. âIâve seen Yes Day,â you suddenly said, there was definitely an elephant in the room, but you figured acting like you usually would could help both of you a bit.
âYou did?â Jenna sounded surprised. âIt just came out, I didnât think youâd have the time,â she slowed down a bit and you adjusted your pace to match her.
âOf course Iâll find the time to watch something you were involved in,â she refused to watch Babysitter, but you watched it on your own. âIt looked like you had so much fun,â you said.
Jenna laughed a bit. âI did! Probably the most fun I ever had on a set, I was having fun for work,â and it was exactly that kind of movie. âWhat about you? Was shooting in Italy fun?â
You frowned, thinking back to the experience. Everyone was great, you really couldnât complain about it, but the topic was a bit⊠difficult. âNot really, wasnât really a lot of place for fun. Even between takes, everyone was kind of drained by the story,â low budget, long hours, the story, order and silence loving director, plot sticking close to the book, by the end of it people just began being miserable and just wanting to get it over with. And the pandemic definitely wasnât helping anyone socialize. With Scream you still had a fairly active group chat, here you barely exchanged numbers with anyone.
âThat sounds awful,â Jenna said as you unlocked your car and the two of you got in.
âItâs over now, besides, just makes the sets I had fun on feel even better,â you shrugged, just glad that it was over.
~X~
Jenna wasnât sure what she was expecting as you let her into your apartment, but it wasnât a simple one-bedroom apartment, that was for sure. She expected to see at least something for working out, or maybe a boxing bag hanging from the ceiling, but it was just a simple apartment with very few decorations.
âYou know how it is better than I do. Thereâs no point in adding much of a personal touch when you spend more than half the time away from, home, I guess,â you said, pausing briefly before saying home, as you began setting the table. You had the dinner ready, and it smelled amazing.
âI still like to make it more personal, even if Iâll be there for just a month, or even shorter at times,â Jenna didnât necessarily disagree with you, her own place wasnât all that personal, but you took it even further. Maybe you really were born to play your character from Scream.
âHm, I guess Iâm renting this place, so thereâs also that,â she didnât know that, well, you never really talked about that.
âHave you ever considered moving somewhere else?â like somewhere a lot closer to her for example. Not that she was about to say that.
You thought it over. âNo, not really. Thereâs a really nice store just down the street, fresh food, expensive as fuck, but at least I know what Iâm eating. And thereâs hell of a good gym and a big park nearby as well, Iâm content right here,â you did sound like you like it here, and while Jenna would have preferred it if she could visit you and her family in the same day if she was on the break and everything worked out in her favor, she didnât have it in her to try and convince you to leave this place.
âY/N, about that night. I, I really canât apologize enough,â she looked down as you poured soup into her plate and set it down in front of her.
âJen,â you sighed and sat down sideways next to her, ignoring the food for the time being. âYou got drunk and called me, itâs not the end of the world.â
Your words sounded nice, but she found it difficult to get out of her head. âI called you Baby,â she argued.
âSurprising, but I canât say I hated it,â she didnât notice a hint of a lie, or anything but honestly. You werenât trying to make her feel better, you were just being honest.
âI said I wanted to sleep with you and film,â she paused, her face burning as she recalled her words from that night.
âIt wasnât that bad, you were drunk, I wonât hold it against you,â you placed our palm on her shoulder and it brought her comfort, but stillâŠ
âDrunk words sober thoughts?â she still wasnât entirely convinced, she just, she wasnât even sure what kind of reaction she wanted from you. She just feared that if she dug too deep that youâd eventually say you were angry at her. She feared you hiding it even more.
âAre they?â you asked and she looked at you, without thinking much she closed the distance between you and. She stared at your lips as she touched your cheek, softly caressing it, committing the feel of your skin to memory. She got up and hugged you. Could she risk it? With all the work and her insecurities? When she felt like she wasnât ready for this right now? If it was with you, well maybe, just maybe she was ready to give it a try.
âI,â she wasnât sure what to say, she just ran her fingers through your hair as a shiver ran down her spine. You lowered your hand to her back and pulled her closer, until she sat down on your lap. She could feel your breath on her lips, she saw the intensity of your gaze as you looked from her lips to her eyes, it felt like time slowed down as she parted her lips.
And then her phone rang and she nearly had a heart attack as she jumped to her feet and sat back down on the chair. âYes?â she answered her phone, out of breath and embarrassed.
âJenna? Did you and Y/N meet up?â it was her mom and Jenna felt like the timing was the worst and the best at the same time.
âYeah, weâre together now. I mean, weâre having dinner,â she fumbled over her words, losing control over the situation. Why did she clarify what she meant? You were together, at the same place, in each otherâs company, not the other together.
âOkay, Iâll let you talk, love you,â she wasnât ready to face you again this soon! She just messed up again, she nearly kissed you!
âLove you too, bye,â but she also couldnât prolong the conversation, so she hung up. âSorry, can we just pretend this didnât happen?â she chewed on her bottom lip. âIâm just not ready yet,â she didnât deny that she liked you, just told you she wasnât ready.
âOf course,â and just like that, you said it, full of understanding, without a hint of anything but the desire for Jenna to be comfortable you gave in, continuing the night as if Jenna didnât nearly kiss you.
~X~
Before you knew it almost half a year had passed since that night in your apartment. Jenna went on t do more projects, you did your own thing and throughout those months you kept meeting up, catching up on each otherâs projects and lives. Until one thing led to another and you realized you were both going to Romania, for the same project. Wednesday.
And in a somewhat unexpected twist of fate, you ended up back in Coachella Valley, though not to meet up with Jenna. You sat in a restaurant near the hospital waiting for Natalie. You half expected Jenna to show up with her, but the older Ortega walked in alone and walked up to you clearly happy to see you. You just noticed how much Jenna looked like her, starting from the wide, beautiful smile.
âHello,â you stood up and hugged her.
âThanks for coming all the way here to see me, and on such a short notice as well,â well, Natalie did call you two days ago, and it wasnât the quickest trip, from Denver to Coachella Valley, but you figured if you were going to do it for anyone, it would be for Jennaâs family.
âDonât mention it,â you grinned as you both sat down.
âHow have you been? Jenna told me youâve been going to Europe a lot for movies,â she said and you chuckled.
âYeah, I somehow got roped into a few quick roles in crime fiction adaptations,â not the happiest sets, but hey, it paid the bills, and your roles were mostly minor since there werenât that many female leads in that genre. So you were usually done in a week or two at most, instead of a month or longer as some movies required.
âIs that what you want?â Natalie asked genuinely curious.
You didnât mind it. âIâm okay with it, Iâd prefer more action, but this is fine for the time being,â you felt strangely at ease around the woman, like you could open up and freely talk to her.
âJenna is going to Romania soon, for a long time,â she suddenly said, and you nodded, you knew it, and Natalie knew you knew it, she knew you were going with Jenna. âSheâs fiercely independent, and she can take care of herself, but itâs so far away and for so long.â
âIt is,â you agreed, somehow understanding where this was going. Natalie calling you to meet up, Jenna not being here with her. âJenna doesnât know Iâm here with you, does she?â that was the last thing you needed to complete the puzzle.
Natalie shook her head. âNo, she doesnât,â she smiled, warm, yet with worry in her eyes you could understand. âCan I ask you to keep her safe? To be her support?â she asked.
âOf course I will, no matter what she will always be able to count on me,â you understood, another continent, with this damn pandemic, a whole other language Jenna didnât know even in the slightest, and the distance that made it impossible for a parent to do anything if need be. Natalie, and you were 100% sure Edward as well, needed that assurance that Jenna wasnât going to be completely alone. That it wouldnât come down only to people she would just now meet, but that sheâd have someone she knew from before by her side. Even if you werenât there this was Jennaâs job, they wouldnât dare to interfere, but you being there would give them some sort of peace. And you were more than willing to give them that.
âThank you. Jenna, she really cares about you, really trusts you, I canât think of another person I could possibly ask this of,â Natalie told you as she wiped a tear from her eye.
You smiled, happy that Jenna felt that way. âI canât think of anyone Iâd rather do that for.â
Natalie observed you for a bit, studied you like a hawk, and then came the question you werenât ready for. âYou donât have to answer, but, do you have feelings for Jenna?â
You werenât ready. âI do,â but you answered with absolute certainty regardless.

Warnings: angst, mentions of suicide, mentions of traditional values and arranged marriages
Authors Note: so uh...i did not expect this to be this long, and also not at all what I thought this would be. originally inspired by Leanna Firestone's song Suneater, this was supposed to be a happier fic, but i couldn't stop thinking about the line "But I am just the one who swallowed the moon // The only light that I have's just a reflection of you" so the original fic was a black cat x golden retriever and then somehow...this? please let me know what you think!
if you or anyone you know needs help, please call 988 (USA) or contact your local hotline. You are loved, you are needed.
Companion piece: Stardrinker
James was completely stumped. As a distinctly Light family, the Potters didnât have much reason to attend Dark Pureblood gatherings, let alone interact with them beyond the odd time here and there, but he knows of your family, in the same way he knew of the Blackâs - speculation, word of mouth, gossip. Neither he nor his family have any personal memories of you, and it seemed like no one else he knew was friends with you. You were a complete mystery to everyoneâŠbut his best friend.
When they first started Hogwarts, Sirius made it clear his stance on Slytherin families - keep as far away from them as possible, prank from a distance, target the ones he knew had evil in their hearts. James was more than pleased to go along with this. After all, a whole pool of targets just for the taking, and he didnât have to feel guilty at all? It seemed so easy.Â
Sirius was ruthless with his attacks, cackling with glee as he sent stinging hexes in their direction or watching with mirth as they got caught in a trap. But when James launched a dungbomb in your direction, singeing your hair into an uneven mess, Sirius dropped everything to rush over, apology already tumbling out of his mouth despite the fury on your face. He even escorted you to the Matron, and looked incredibly guilty as the two of you walked back into the Great Hall sporting a new hairdo and fear on your faces. You returned to not speaking to each other, just as you always had, but Sirius seemed to glance over at the Slytherin table a little more frequently. Since then, none of the Marauders dared to prank near you, but with the rest of the house being easy pickings, James didnât spare you another thought.
Then, summer before Fifth year happened. It was going to be their year, full of new pranks, new status, and, even better, a new plan to help Moony with hisâŠtime of the month. Sirius, as usual, spent the beginning of summer at the Pottery, spending hours at a time trying to find their animagus form, and, eventually, trying to change species. His parents were good at giving them space to play to their heart's content, and it warmed Jamesâs heart to see them dote on Sirius just as much as they did as him. Especially as June faded into July, and Siriusâ dread to return home increased with every passing day.
Halfway through their break, at the height of the Dark Wanker Gatherings, the very color name Sirius gave the period of summer when the Dark Purebloodâs season of parties came to a head (as the heir to the Noble House of Black, Sirius was expected to attend the biggest ones, meaning James hardly got to see him until the start of the school year), Sirius all but disappeared. The house was far too quiet without him, and his letters were sparse of details, worrying James despite the countless summers they had gone through this previously. Despite Peter and Remusâs best attempts, James just wasnât the same without his best friend around. Their friendly games of Quidditch lacked the usual competitiveness, their conversations quickly devolved into pooling the little information Sirius gave each of them, and there were only so many Sugar Quills one could eat before their stomach turned in on itself in worry. It was why James was always the first to arrive at the Platform at the start of the year, determined to figure out what happened to his best friend, even though Sirius always managed to change the subject without giving any answers.Â
So, color him surprised when, instead of rushing onto the train and locating his friends like usual, Sirius lingered after saying goodbye to his parents, the very people he never wanted to be near. When you and your family stepped through, Siriusâs eyes lit up. He made a beeline to you as soon as you finished your goodbyeâs, pulling you to a secluded corner, only barely visible from where James was practically hanging out of the compartment window to see. The two of you whispered to one another before you hugged, then parted ways.
And ever since then, Sirius was always looking out for you. Instead of the tense silence you usually kept, James watched as your face lit up (no smile, that was far too obvious, but your eyes seemed to sparkle whenever they landed on him), stepping away from your usual posse of stuck up Purebloods to speak to Sirius. They seemed just as flabbergasted, until it started to happen so frequently they did nothing but offer a silent sneer, knowing better than to wait for you to finish your conversation. But James remained, always standing just close enough to catch snippets, but never the whole story. Instead of sulking in his room or yelling at whoever dared to disturb him on bad days, Sirius disappeared completely, only to be spotted with you within the hour, a more relaxed look on his face. He never missed a full moon, at least he kept that promise to his friends, but you were always one of the first visitors they had in the morning, leaving a get well soon treat for Sirius to eat as soon as he woke up.Â
All this to say, it wasnât as if you and Sirius were attached at the hip, but it was hard not to notice the seemingly new affection you had for one another, and the change of priority, leaving James to seek you out in order to find his friend on more than one occasion.
Neither Remus nor Peter knew anything about what caused this shift in your friendship, but all it took was a little comment from Peter (âMaybeâŠmaybe theyâre together together.â followed by a scandalized look from Remus), to send them into a spiral.Â
âSirius? Keeping a secret from us? Especially one as big as aâŠNo! No way!â James refuted, pout evident on his face.
Because there was absolutely no way Sirius was going to keep something like this to himself. James was the first to know about Siriusâ first kiss, his first make out, his first shag! He was there when Sirius confessed to his first girlfriend, then his first boyfriend, then his firstâŠpartner? James forgot the name but either way! He was there! And nowâŠwhat? Sirius was too ashamed to admit he was dating a Slytherin? Surely he knew there was no way. And, if he was dating, then there was no way he would pick a Slytherin unless they had something really special about them.
Despite Remus and Peterâs fervent arguments against it, James swore himself to a new goal - Mission Impossible: Figure Out Why Sirius Thinks a Slytherin Is Better Choice Than Literally Anyone Else in the School; I Mean Come On There Are Three Other Houses-- (âThatâs far too long a name anyway!â Remus shouted indignantly).
He was already spending time lingering when you and Sirius chatted in the halls, so he tried to join in, actually listen instead of grumbling to himself about how long it was taking. You gave him an incredulous look the first time he did it, scampering away much too quickly for Siriusâs liking, if his saddened face was anything to go by. His second and third attempts were met with the same response, so James dropped his attempt, too soft to continue if Sirius was gonna keep giving him that kicked puppy look.
Then, he tried to join you and Sirius for your study sessions, figuring, what could go wrong? The library was a quiet place, and there wasnât an easy escape if he positioned himself correctly, and you were very dedicated to keeping Siriusâs grades up (from what heâd been told anyway, this was, after all, the first time he ever willingly wanted to spend time with you). Sirius was hesitant to allow him to come when he asked, so he decided to drop by unannounced instead. Siriusâs welcoming smile was more than enough to override your glare, though it was clear this interruption was less than welcome, as no more work got done, and the boys were kicked out almost immediately. You were clear in your instruction to Sirius, whispered quietly but not quiet enough, that James was not welcome if he was going to be so noisy.
So, sneaking had become his last resort. It was hard, what with his friend group practically spending every minute together, but despite Remusâs warning, James scurried off whenever Sirius did. It took several weeks, and several pathetic attempts before James was finally able to catch you and Sirius alone. He didnât think he was above snooping, especially with all the attempts recently, but there was a tiny bit of guilt that underlined his successful movements as he snuck down the hall, hidden from yours and Siriusâ watchful eyes, all thanks to his Invisibility Cloak. Sirius had that look about him, whipping his head back and forth, something he always did with James when he set up a prank without anyone noticing.Â
Something big was happening, and it had to be discussed without any prying eyes.
âSirius, itâs alright,â you spoke lowly, so much so that James had to get a little too close for comfort to hear you. Siriusâ head perked up at the somewhat loud swish of the cloak, but when he didnât see anything, he turned back to you, pushing you into an alcove of the hallway.
âAlright?! Are you mad?â Though he still had a grip on your arm, James could tell it was gentle, so lightly that you easily could have pulled away at any time. And, to his surprise, you didnât, instead laying your hand on his with a gentleness heâd never seen from you before.
âThis was something we always knew was going to happen,â you squeezed his hand, face stoney, âit was only a matter of time--â
âTheyâre selling you off like cattle! They donât care about your life!â
âI donât have a choice.â
âYou always have a choice!â To this, your face darkened.
âI am not like you, Sirius.â This was the Slytherin attitude James was used to. Poisonous words spouting from your mouth, eyes narrowed to a glare. You didnât have to push Siriusâs hand away, your now icy stare was enough to have him pull away first. âYou and your precious friends can galavant around and do whatever you please, no matter the consequences, but the moment I show weakness, or displeasure towards my family, I will have no one. My friends--â
âAre no real friends if all it takes is standing up for yourself to have them disappear!â
âThey know better than anyone that we donât have any other choice--â
âSo, what? Youâll marry the old coot and be the perfect little house--â
âAnd what would you suggest I do?â Sirius opened and closed his mouth several times, fury on his face, unwilling to admit that maybe you were right. In a house where betraying those thought to be your friends is commonplace, what option did you have? If James was right in following along, though it was incredibly hard with how quickly the two of you whispered, if you rejected this marriage arrangement, your parents would undoubtedly kick you out. With the friends heâs seen you with, there was no chance any of them would reach out in good will, especially since youâd have lost all the power via your family name.Â
There had never been a Slytherin in his life that he felt empathy towards, but thisâŠthis was something even he could not see a way out of.
âSurely leaving your family to be free is better than being locked in a gilded cage,â Sirius finally settled on.
âFreedom always comes with a cost, and this one is far too great.â Siriusâs eyes lowered to a glare.
âSo thatâs it.âÂ
Oh no. James could feel the anger radiating from his friend, the same anger that has landed him more than a few detentions over the years. This was the anger that led to the initial discovery of Moonyâs condition, the screaming match that had Sirius follow Remus into the woods. This was the anger that almost broke their friendship in third year, and the anger that nearly got him expelled for attacking another student.Â
This was the anger that made Sirius reckless.Â
âYou give everything up and stay that obedient Pureblood youâve always been, and be miserable forever. Well, I canât watch you do that. I canât watch you stoop so low, so pathetic,â --James nearly reached out, desperate to stop Sirius from saying anything more to destroy what you two had-- âand try to kill yourself again.âÂ
Too late. The most emotion he had ever seen from you flicker across your face, hurt turned to anger turned to resentment in one fluid motion. Sirius, as angry as he was, seemed to notice as well, snapping his mouth shut as soon as the words left his mouth. Almost as if an invisible wall appeared between you, you both stepped back, as far as the small alcove allowed.
âYes, youâre right. How pathetic of me.â You bowed lowly, despite Siriusâs efforts to stop you. âIâll take my leave then, so your virtue wonât be sullied by the likes of me. Regards to the most Noble and Ancient House of Black.â
James turned on his heel, too embarrassed in his attempts to snoop to watch any further. Sirius chased you down in the opposite direction, calling your name until his echoes finally stopped. When James returned, it only took a look to stop any questions from his other dormmates. Siriusâs late return, the lethal combination of sadness and anger that had him lashing out at anything he could see, was answer enough.
James tried to keep the facade of innocence for the rest of the term, thanking Merlin that it was just a short month away. It was far easier than he hoped, with everyone immersed with their OWLs, but it didnât do much to stop the guilt of having witnessed such a private and personal conversation. Sirius continued to look for you whenever he could, desperate to catch your eye, but you were just as stubborn as his friend was it seemed; even though James caught you several times watching Sirius when no one else was looking.Â
Sirius spent the beginning of summer with him as normal, riding on their brooms and keeping their minds as far away from the drama waiting back at Hogwarts. James tried a couple times to ask about you, but Sirius would clam up immediately, snapping at him or immediately changing the subject. By the time the Dark Wanker Gatherings started up again, Sirius seemed to have calmed down some, resigning his anger into a facade of apathy, the kind James seriously disliked. He only hoped your absence wouldnât make his disappearing act worse.
Then, in the middle of summer, you appeared.Â
Or rather, you and Sirius appeared, Flooing into his home in the middle of dinner, fancy clothing covered in blood. Your face was panicked, strained against the weight of his friend, who seemed too out of it to stand properly. His Mother screamed at the intrusion, and both James and his father rushed over to take the weight off of you. It seemed all Pureblood customs flew out the window with the desperate need to help Sirius, as you immediately barked orders to take him to the nearest bathroom with a bathtub. Once situated, you started peeling away Siriusâs clothes, revealing the various cuts across his body.
âHey! What are you--â But you simply silenced him with a wave of your hand, pushing him out of the room and slamming the door in his face. âWhat the fu--â
âJames!â Euphemiaâs glare was enough to have him shutting up. âWhy donât you two go back down and finish dinner. Polly spent a lot of time making it.â
âBut Sirius--â
âIs obviously in capable hands.â His Father patted a heavy hand on his shoulder, leading him away without another word. Before they made it back down stairs, James caught the gentle knock she rapped on the bathroom door (of her own house!), quietly entering with a, âIs there anything I can get you, dear?â
âA house elf, the one you trust the most. And my apologies forâŠâ your voice faded as they returned to the dining room.
Sirius was up by the time he woke the following morning. James tried several times to see Sirius throughout the night, but you were as strict as you were terrifying, guarding the room like a loyal watchdog until James was too tired to try again. And here you were again, dressed in borrowed clothes and carefully stroking Siriusâs long hair into a complicated braid, pulling strands away from his face so it wouldnât fall into the bowl of soup he was nursing. Siriusâs face lit up when he saw James enter the room, clambering to get up. His own injuries stopping him from getting far, wincing and slumping back into his chair.
âYou canât move too quickly,â you chastised quietly, trying off the end of his hair. The easy way Sirius let you touch him, to have his guard down completely, caused a shift in James. A Slytherin providing comfort? It was unheard of to him. But here it was, right in front of him, an easy relationship that existed out of two people caring deeply for one another.Â
Just like his parents.Â
James felt a pang of jealousy go through him.
âSorry, Prongs. Gotta listen to the Mediâ,â Sirius stopped, grimaced as you pulled lightly on his hair. âWhat? I wouldnât want anyone else helping me back to health.â
âAnd now that you are back to being your annoying self, I must be off.â Sirius tried to stand, but your gentle hand was enough to have him stop. âRest. And thank you, for everything.âÂ
As Sirius was out of commission, James was the one to walk you to the Floo, taking his parentâs robe from you at your thanks. You straightened out your hair as best as possible, fixing small details of your outfit to hide what you had been up all night, as James wrung his hands, debating whether he should say anything at all. When you reached for the Floo powder, he finally spoke.
âThank you,â he managed. Your hand paused midair, but it was the only indication you gave to show you were listening. âThank you for bringing him here. Weâll take good care of him.â
âHeâs too proud to ask for help,â you said in response. âBut heâs lucky to have someone like you in his life.â
âAnd like you.â To this, you scoffed, finally turning to look at him.
âI seem to only bring him trouble.â
âHe does that fine on his own.â The small uptick of your lips was easy confirmation to your agreement. âBut seriously. Iâve never seen him so happy to talk to someone before, and he talks to a lot of people.â When you didnât say anything, James flushed. âI mean--â
âIâm lucky to have whatever part heâs willing to give me.â And with a flourish, you disappeared into the fireplace.
James never did find out what happened that caused Siriusâs injuries that summer. After a lengthy conversation (the lengthy conversation in question - Sirius: âI pissed my family off and now Iâve been disowned.â, James: âOh, perfect. Iâve always wanted you as a brother.â), Sirius was unofficially officially adopted into his family. His parents took Sirius to St.Mungos a couple times to make sure everything was okay, but otherwise, the rest of summer was spent just as blissfully enjoyable as the beginning. Only this time, James didnât have to worry about Sirius having to return to his awful family every night. They stayed up until the sun began to rise, sneaking into each other's room to spend the night, terrorizing the neighborhood with their loud voices until the sun rose.Â
And, you were there. Not directly, not with the new disgraced title Sirius proudly bore, but in letters and conversation. Sirius now spoke freely and openly about you, how you had always been there to help him with his horrible upbringing, the way you always seemed to know what to do to help. Sirius admitted to getting into that final fight for you, for your honor, but didnât elaborate any further. He spent many mornings at Jamesâs desk writing to you, updating you on the new freedom he had, and making sure you were alright. That heâd be there in the drop of a hat if you needed him.Â
Now that James was included in the conversation, willingly and welcomed this time, he was able to see how witty you were, how you werenât just the Pureblood Slytherin he thought you were, but a genuinely good person for Sirius to be influenced by. You easily scolded him when needed, and praised him without letting his ego inflate too largely. Though you were only there in writing, it was easy to see the easy affection Sirius had for you, and vice versa. And, with James being let in somewhat on the secret friendship you shared, how deep it actually was, almost all the tension released from between the three of you. He even got to apologize for butting in so often last year, to which you waved him off with a promise not to do it again.
So, when sixth year started, and he got to see you for the first time in person since that fateful morning, it was like heâd never seen you before. And, all the better, it seemed you were determined to talk to Sirius, even if it meant you got some nasty glares from your housemates. James liked that about you.
So, he made the effort. When you or Sirius walked up to one another, James stayed close, engaging in conversation. Though you looked shocked, Sirius always gave him a broad smile, the prospect of two special people in his life becoming friends made him giddier than James ever thought possible. And Sirius was very open about that fact, throwing his arms around you and James mid conversation to squish you into a group hug. It didnât take much to get the rest of his friends involved.
Your study sessions now involved all the Marauders, Remus sending you a thankful smile whenever you managed to calm the rowdiest of them down, comparing notes for class. Peter trailed after you happily, using you as a type of shield from the rest of the Slytherins when you walked together to class. You joined them on Hogsmeade trips, a quiet companion as they carried you from place to place. You never questioned what got them in so much trouble they ended up in the hospital wing once a month, but you did start to bring all of them a little treat for them to wake up to. Sirius started joking about you replacing him in the Marauders, to which you answered with a smack to the back of the head.
And James? Well James seemed to seek you out more and more without realizing it. If Sirius sat on your right, he would take your left. When needing a partner for class, he and Sirius would fight for the honor of being your partner, despite the fact that you already began working with someone else. He looked for you in the Slytherin crowd during quidditch matches, easily spotting you as the only person not booing at their victories. You and he would walk to class together, then hang out alone before the others joined. Your one on one time only increased as you got closer. You stayed up late to help him with classwork he struggled with, patient as ever, even if you did take every opportunity to poke fun at him with that deviously dry wit. You even helped Sirius with a joint gift, a box the size of his hand that would fit anything inside it and could only be opened by him. It was the first time he hugged you without Siriusâs intervention.
âWoah, woah, woah! Back it up!â Sirius said in his best imitation of an angry tone, but his smile was too contagious.
Yes, you butt heads. Jamesâ lackadaisical attitude got on your nerves, sometimes done on purpose because James just loved to get a rise out of you, and your uptight scholarly nature often rivaled Remus, but at the end of the day, it was clear that there was a deep respect for one another, something that blossomed without either of you knowing. James would steal food from your plate without asking, loudly teasing you when you reprimanded him, but he would always replace it with some of your favorites, an unspoken apology. You would call him names (dimwit, airhead, and bludger brain to name a few), but you were always there for him at the end of the day, quietly praising his ingenuity, genuinely asking his opinion on matters.
It was why the guilt of the knowledge of your arranged marriage was starting to eat at him, a secret you didnât know he knew. It was especially bad on days when that dreaded silver envelope arrived, since you frequently sought out Sirius. He recognized the crest on the back, an old and very Pureblood house, that no doubt had to belong to your fiance. You would crush the letter in your grip after skimming it, catching Siriusâ eye from across the room. No words needed to be said for him to stand, meeting you at the entrance hall. It was rare to see either of you for several hours after that. It was routine at that point.
But today was different. Sirius was in an early morning detention, cleaning McGonagallâs classroom after a series of pranks rendered the board useless, and you were nearly hyperventilating as the silver envelope fell into your lap. James only noticed because you were out of your seat faster than heâd ever seen you move, eyes glistening. He was following behind you before he realized what he was doing.
âWait!â Your head whipped around at his voice, wiping your wet cheeks in an attempt to hide any evidence of your sadness. âWhatâs wrong?â
âWhereâs Sirius?â
âHeâs in detention--whatâs wrong?â
âItâsâŠâ A group of giggling second years passed by, watching their interaction with interest. You instantly clammed up, face slacking into apathy. âItâs nothing.â
James shook his head before tugging you down the hall. Despite your protests, he led you to one of the many secret passages, pulling you until you were in an unused hallway, rows and rows of empty classrooms creating the perfect hiding place. He didnât speak until the two of you were in one, locking the door firmly behind him, and covering it with an anti-eavesdropping charm.
âWhatâs wrong?â Without a word, you held the letter out to him.
My Darling Angel, it read, handwriting barely legible with how shaky it was. Do not fret any longer, for your Father and I have finally come to an agreement. Though your price was a hefty one, I have been assured you are well worth it. In merely a years time---
âYouâre getting married?â In a year's time, the summer of your Seventh Year, you were going to be a bride. Jamesâs stomach twisted into knots. Tears piled up to the edges of your lash line.
âI spoke to my Father every summer, showing him my grades and my prospects, anything I could to have him increase his greed for more. I thought if I could keep going, just for a little longer, he would become so unreasonable, no one would want to pay my dowry. After all, why would they?â You sniffed, then furiously rubbed at your face, trying to stop the tears from falling. âI am no one special. Surely there are better prospects--â
âWoah, hey!â Your hands were moving too fast, too erratically, for his liking. As gently as he could, remembering the way Sirius acted, he pulled your hands away from your face. Rubbed raw with nail marks, you didnât even seem to realize you were hurting yourself.Â
âJames,â his name was said in such sorrow, his very being rattled in sympathy, âwhat am I going to do?â
So he did the only thing he could think of. He pulled you close, cradling you to his body. You seemed to freeze at the contact. This wasnât the friendly hug from his birthday, or the forced contact Sirius often made you do. This was something more.
âWeâll think of something,â he promised into your hair. With the gentle grip he had you in, it was easy to pull back and gaze upon the sincerity on his face. He gave you a small, crooked smile. âWe wonât let anything happen to you. Promise.â
So, for the first time, you latched onto James, holding him tight enough to hurt, and wailed into his chest, mourning the life you tried so hard to protect.
For a moment, James allowed himself to be a little greedy, keeping you close enough to let your smell flood his senses. He allowed his hands to roam your back, feeling, as if for the first time, the way your clothes felt against your body, the heat of your being. He allowed himself to enjoy how you felt against him, how for once, instead of the proud Slytherin you always portrayed yourself to be, you allowed him to take care of you instead of the other way around. You seemed to fit perfectly in his arms, and, as ashamed as he was to think it, there was a part of him that loved how you trusted him to show this vulnerable part of yourself. You only ever show it toâŠ
Then, with startling clarity, James realized he was holding you, Siriusâs person, in his arms, in a locked classroom, hidden away from the rest of the school. That same school who watched you run out of the hall with James following close behind. Those second years watched him pull you away!Â
Before he could do something stupid, probably throw himself away from you, you pulled away first. Or, really, you yanked yourself away, wand raised with a Tempus spell showing the two of you were about to be very late to your first lesson.
âThank you, James,â you whispered without looking at him, before you bolted to the door. His heart fluttered--
Oh, crap.
âI need to talk to you.â Sirius shouldnât have been as surprised as he was at Jamesâs sudden appearance, pulling him away from Marlene and Dorcas. The two, used to the strange way the Marauders always seemed to find one another, turned back to their conversation without another glance. James hauled Sirius up to their dorm by his collar. He had been looking all day for Sirius, with little success. It was just his luck that today, of all days, was filled with classes neither shared, and Sirius had to use his lunch hour to finish McGonagallâs room. And now, when Remus and Peter were meeting up with you to study for your Arithmancy exam, it was probably the best time heâd get.Â
And there was just one thing Sirius needed to confess to, before James exploded.
âI know your secret. So please just admit it so I can tell you how bad of a friend I am.â
âWoah, woah woah. What?â When Sirius met Jamesâs serious expression, his face turned from jovial to terrified. â...what?â
âI know, okay?â Sirius opened and closed his mouth, and if it was any other conversation, James would have poked fun at him for looking like a fish.
âYouâŠknow?â James nodded once firmly. Sirius swore, slumping down onto the nearest bed. âWe were so careful!â At this, James raised a brow.
âYou werenât careful at all! Everyone knows!â Sirius paled.
â...everyone?â
âWell, everyone that knows you.â James eyed Siriusâ expression. With a shuddering breath, Sirius dragged a hand down his face. âYou seem surprised.â
âYeah, a little,â Sirius laughed, but it was far too breathy to be sincere. âIâve only just convincedâŠWas I so obvious?â
âYou always look for each other. And, even though it started off rough, youâve gotten really close recently.â He clapped a hand on Siriusâs shoulder. The approval, how easy James gave it, had Siriusâ whole body relax, practically curling into himself. âYou deserve each other.â
âTell him for me, wonât you?â Sirius rolled his eyes, far more playful than he had been. âIâve only been telling him every day for the last year. I mean, I know Moonyâs dense, but I didnât think itâd take this much convincing.â
â...what?â
âYou know him as well as I do, mate. He doesnât handle affection well. Especially mine.â Sirius laughed, this time much more heartily, his shoulders bouncing. Jamesâ hand fell to his side, but Sirius hardly noticed, practically bouncing from giddiness. âWow, it feels great to say it out loud.â
James continued to stare at him, mouth agape.
âNow that you know, this is perfect!â He jumped up, excess energy pushing him to his desk, rummaging through the pile of papers before pulling one out. âIâve got so many plans! Iâm thinking next full moon, I'll sneak into his hospital bed, bring some strawberries and chocolate, you know, romance stuff. Iâve been planning for months the best way to do it, but you know Moony. Be nice to him and he clams up, so Iâve been thinking--â
When Sirius turned around, James was slumped where Sirius had just been, the only difference being Jamesâ shocked face to Siriusâ dread.
âWhat?â Sirius laughed. âDidnât think Iâd have a plan? Iâm going all the way with this!â
âYou--Moony? But I thoughtâŠ--â Now it was Siriusâ turn to be confused.
âWhy do you look like that?â
âYou like Moony?!â Sirius dropped the piece of paper, his dread returning.
âYou didnât--â He coughed, like the words were strangling him. âYou didnât know?â
âNo!!â James jumped up. âSince when have you likedâŠ?â
âOh,â SIrius scratched the back of his head, hair falling out of the messy braid that had your signature all over it. âWhen you said you knew my secret, I thought--â He suddenly narrowed his eyes, and James grew meek, chest and cheeks flushing red. âWhat secret did you think I had?â
So, what originally was a conversation James was severely dreading, turned into the most honest conversation theyâd had in a while. James bared his heart to his best friend, explaining the guilt that had been eating at him since his birthday, worried he was a horrible friend. How he had only fallen for you harder as you hung out more, how he couldnât stop thinking about you, but didnât want to do anything to upset either you or Sirius by stepping over boundaries. How he was there for you when you heard confirmation of your upcoming marriage (Sirius looked angrier than he had in a while when James revealed that small development), and it only solidified what he already suspected, and how your tears felt like burning lava on his skin.
Sirius, in turn, explained how he and Moony had gotten closer now that Sirius knew you had other people looking after you, namely the other Marauders. His new free time was spent with Moony, who didnât think anything of it, until their playful wrestling got out of hand and Sirius kissed him. James vaguely remembered Remus acting strange, but attributed it to the upcoming moon, one where he was much more affectionate towards Sirius than his usual transformations. He talked about the way he had been trying to convince Remus ever since that day that his feelings were real, that it wasnât just a spur of the moment mistake, but a budding of affection ever since Sirius was freed of his family's clutches.
So, when they finally calmed themselves down, after a massive cry fest that ended in them hugging, promising not to ever keep secrets ever again, and a series of firing each other up, they rushed to the very object of their affections.
âMoony!â Sirius practically tackled Remus as he and Peter walked down the hall, hands stained in ink and stomachs rumbling. Remus stood no chance against the delighted dog, books flying from his hands as he landed on the floor, wind knocked out of him.
âWh--â But Sirius had already crawled atop him, mouth pushed resolutely against his. Remus struggled only for a moment, before returning the kiss desperately, hands clutching anything he could reach, settling on Siriusâ back and hair.
âGreat Merlin!â Peter exclaimed, nearly tripping over his feet to get away from the two heavily making out on the floor. James let out a laugh, rushing over to help hisâŠunoccupiedâŠfriend. âBut he-- and Sirius--â
âWell, there goes all those plans.â James joked. Sirius and Remus finally pulled away after another moment of kissing, both panting, but faces alight in pure happiness as they gazed at each other. âOkay, Loverboys, no public displays of affection while weâre around, okay? At least until weâre used to it.â
âProngsâŠ,â Remus whined miserably, face flushing a brilliant red, only disrupted by the white of his facial scars. Sirius grinned wolfishly, pressing a loud, wet kiss in the space between Remusâ shoulder and collar, doing nothing to help. âPadfoot!â
Peter was still staring at them, mouth agape, even as the two stood.
âWhereâsââ James started, looking around. It was strange to not see you with the other Marauders, especially since you should have been with them for the last hour or so to study.
âHuh??â Peter shook his head violently, finally having the decency to wipe away his shock. When he noticed Jamesâ wandering eyes, he clarified. âOh uh, Astronomy Tower, I think? Needed space to think or something?â
âBut I thought you guys were studying--â
âNever showed.â Remusâ nonchalance was not eagerly received. James whipped his head to Sirius, who was already looking worried. You hadnât shown up? But thatâs hours where youâre unaccounted for!
âJames!â Siriusâ panic was clear. In an instant, the day James eavesdropped came rushing back, a stone forming in his stomach. âItâs high enoughââ
âIâm on it!â Later, James would deal with the consequences of the unneeded explanation. Later, he would address the confused looks on Remus and Peterâs faces, address the shock on Siriusâ for not needing an explanation. Later, he would beg and plead on his knees for Sirius to forgive him for spying on a private conversation, and staying long past knowing it was wrong. Later. It would happen later. Now, he needed to see you.
Heâd never run faster in his life, using every shortcut he could think of to make it to the Astronomy Tower in record time. He took the stairs two at a time, practically launching himself onto the platform at the top, breath coming out in hot pants.Â
âJames?â There you were. His knees nearly gave out in relief (though climbing stairs that fast may have had something to do with it), especially since it didnât look like you had a scratch on you.
âOh, thank Merlin. Youâre alright!â You only looked at him, rising slightly from where you were leaning over the railing to stare out into the horizon. The sun was going to set soon, causing the glow to illuminate your silhouette, your expression hard to see.
âOf course Iâm alright.â James tried to catch his breath quickly, before walking over to you. As he got closer, your features slowly became clearer. There was no evidence of your earlier conversation (how had it only been that morning that you cried into his chest??), and it didnât look like you had been crying again. He didnât know whether to be relieved you seemed okay, or worried that you might be bottling your emotions. âWhat are you talking about?â
âSirius saidâŠâ The rest of the words died in his throat. You cocked your head. He guiltily looked at you, then the railing. When you didnât react, he continued, âHe may have mentionedâŠâ
âOh.â In an instant, you understood, eyes falling into a glare, no doubt upset at having your privacy violated. âIâm not so fragile as to need a bodyguard to care for me all the time.â
âItâs okay if you do.â You rolled your eyes, turning back to look out over the trees. James copied you, resting his elbows on the bar, but angled his body so his sole attention was on the side of your face.
âThatâs a sure fire way to get yourself killed in my world,â you grumbled.
âWell in mine,â he cut in, before you could add on, âif a friend is in trouble, you do whatever you can to help them.â
âEven if they donât need it?â
âEveryone needs help.â He could see the tail end of your eye roll. âBut you do it even if they donât want it.â
With his breathing returning to normal, the space between you fell quiet. When it was clear you werenât planning to speak anytime soon, he refocused his attention on the skyline, watching as the sky slowly became more and more orange, the sun nearly hiding behind the mountains. It was cooling down, but with summer nearly there, it created the perfect balmy weather to cause mischief late at night. In the distance, he could hear the faint hooting of an owl, from the forest or the schoolâs owlery, he wasn't sure, and the faint rustling of leaves. It was peaceful up here.
âDid he tell you?â Your voice startled him out of his thoughts, his body jerking.
âWhat?â If you felt him move, you didnât show it.
âSirius. Did he tell you what happened?â
âNot in so many words,â James said, purposefully vague. He felt bad being deceitful, but he had no idea how to explain his predicament, not when you were wringing your hands together like that, body hunching in on itself, like it was trying to hide how vulnerable you were. And, when you took a deep breath, James understood then that you were about to tell him something important, something life changing.
âHe was always there. The Ancient and Noble House of Black always needed to be seen, especially at those parties, but I never really interacted with him. Too famous to be seen speaking to my family, or too busy playing the role of a Pureblood Heir to step away from his parents.â You sighed, crossing your arms, leaning your hip against the railing to look at James. His eyes were wide with innocent curiosity. âSirius was the one who found me on the verge of jumping off the balcony that summer night.â
âMerlin--â He couldnât believe how nonchalantly you were acting, as if you hadnât just revealed your most vulnerable moment to him. You plowed on before he could do something embarrassing, like care for you.
âI had just met my soon to be fiance, all leering and wandering hands, and it was too much. The idea of being sold off like cattle, to be a possession instead of my own person, I always knew thatâs where my life would end up butâŠâ
It came as no surprise to you that when you started talking, the story seemed to tumble out without you wanting the full truth to be revealed. It came to him suddenly, the realization that this was probably the first time you ever said it out loud, the only person you probably ever felt close enough to tell, Sirius, being there that night meant he already knew everything from his perspective. The hurt in your voice, the emotion you usually kept locked away behind that Slytherin facade, on full display, made it impossible not to react, even though there was a very Sirius-like voice telling him to let you come to him. He couldnât stop himself, though, when he reached out when you told him about how you screamed that night, brandishing your wand, even as the old coot laughed. He watched as you described the moment they left, your parents doing nothing but laughing along with your dear fiance, leaving you with nothing but the night air, you climbed up, the least graceful thing you had done in who knows however many years, and tipped forward. His hand latched onto yours, the same way he would have that night if he was there.
He tried not to react as you explained how Siriusâ hands clasped around your legs before you could fall, using his momentum to pull you back onto him and the solid ground. You told him how your arms scraped painfully against the stone balcony, but Siriusâ body took most of the brunt of your fall. You could barely hear what Sirius had said at the time over the ringing in your ears, too shocked at the fact that you were alive, that you didnât fall, didnât crash into the floor below like you so wanted, too overwhelmed to hear him yelling at you.Â
James did the only thing he could and held your hand tighter, keeping you with him, instead of getting swept up in the memory.
He could hear how you tried to keep your voice as even as possible as you spoke, not daring to show any more emotion than you had to, but James could tell. He couldnât stop his face from contorting in disgust as you described the way your fiance spoke. He felt his eyes widened as you spoke about standing on the edge of the balcony, staring at the sky and not daring to look down. He nearly wept as you described Siriusâ warm embrace, the only thing that kept you grounded at the time. And when you finished, telling him you had to return to normal the following day, hiding what almost happened, he pulled you into his warm hug before he could stop himself.
âJames, itâs alright,â you reassured, patting his back as if he was the one who just bared his heart and past, soothing him as best you could.
âItâs not alright!â Though his words were firm, they were not unkind. He pulled away, bringing your hand to his chest, willing you to feel the way it was thumping wildly. âYou--youâŠ!â
âItâs all in the past now.â
âThe thought that I might never have met youâŠâ He felt you starting to shake, eye swimming with doubt and hesitance.
â...what?â
âYou mean so much to me.â His words rattled you, he could tell, but it was nothing compared to the pure determination in his face, not a hint of regret or ulterior motive to be seen. He meant every word. He had to show you he meant every word.
âYou hardly know me--â
âDonât do that,â he begged, his voice coming out weaker than he intended, but there was no way he would be harsh to you now, not after you bared your soul, not while you try to return to that apathetic life you had adapted to for survival over the years. Not if he could help it. âI know you know Iâm being sincere. And you know I know you far better than you wish.â
â...what do you want me to say?â
âSay youâll marry me.â
âWhat?!â He pulled your hand closer, keeping you as close as youâd allow.
âNot now. Not in five years, not even in ten, not if you donât want to. But be with me, in any way youâre willing.â Your eyebrows furrowed.
âIf this is some cheap Gryffindor chivalry--â
âNot this. Not with you.â He pulled you closer, willing himself not to get his hopes up as you allowed yourself to be pulled a breath away. âI like you. I like you so much I feel my heart beat faster than any Quidditch game would ever make it feel, like itâll pop out of my chest and flutter around telling everyone whoâll listen how much it feels for you.â You flush at his blatant confession. âI hate your fiance with every fiber of my being for ever making you feel like you donât have a choice. For making you feel so trapped that you would ratherâŠdie,â âhis tongue tripped over the word, too overcome with the implication to say it without flinchingâ âthan go through with your marriage.â
âJamesâŠâ
âItâs not the way I wanted to confess,â he joked sheepishly, before morphing his expression into the most earnest he could will it. âMy heart is yours, in any way you want it.â
âI donâtâŠ--â
âIâm offering myself to you,â he clarified earnestly, even as your expression faltered. He lowered his eyes to look at your clasped hands. âUse me however you like. I know Pureblood customs, and this is the way you can get out of it. Marry me, and do whatever you like. Move across the world, or stay by my side. Godric, we could even marry now and divorce immediately if you want!â He met your eyes again. âI just want you to be happy.âÂ
The silence continued to stretch and stretch. In the last few months of teasing, it was rare you didnât have some sort of quip to put James back in his place, but now, it seems you didnât have a single word to say.
He knew it was stupid, the way he said it. But, the words were out of his mouth before he could stop them. Asking you for something simple like puppy love wasnât going to cut it, not when your very freedom was on the line. As much as James could see himself loving you (he wasnât entirely convinced he wasnât already), you didnât have the luxury of time, not the kind that James wanted to worship you, to prove his earnest feelings the way he knew his parents had, the way Sirius planned to show Remus. But the one thing he could do was make a promise to himself that you would never have to feel stuck again.Â
The longer the silence lasted, the more James felt his cheeks redden in embarrassment.Â
âIâve just made a fool of myself, haven't I? Iâm sorry, I donât know what Iâm saying, and Sirius always said I needed to work on my impulse--â
His knees almost gave out from under him, your clasped hands the only thing keeping him from doing so.
Your lips were softer than he imagined.
