For Science, Baby
"Put a Baby in me Simmons."
There was something to be said for knowing a person for damn near a quarter of your life. Twenty one years spent in the company of a bunch of ragtag assholes like himself being bounced around space lent to broadened horizons, experiences beyond belief, all while fighting to keep your skin and sanity in tact. First a fictitious fake war meant to keep them as pawns to be used and abused. Following that, a rabbit-hole conspiracy behind said fake war and 'Why they were here' only to be rewarded with a one way trip into Hell via an actual war on a little forgotten planet at the edge of fucking nowhere space. Then it was surviving Chorus. Then it was surviving Charon Industries. Then, then, then... And in all those years through all of the chaos and bullshit, and the blessed quite moments in between, Richard 'Dick' Simmons had been practically glued to the side of Dexter Grif. Since Basic, he and Grif had been almost inseparable. Of course there were those few and far between moments which dictated they had to part due to, you know - their job, but still. Though that didn't mean it was all rainbows and sunshine. Fuck No. In the beginning of those twenty one long years he would have easily written the larger man off as the worse thing to happen to him. An obstacle in his way towards his greater goals. But time, as they say, has a funny way of breaking down ill conceived notions and letting you get to know who a person really is. Of course, it also helped that the two began to talk about anything and everything under the sun. Random bullshit here and there; sometimes over mundane things like favorite pizza topping to more . . .questionable inquires... "If you had to kill someone, how would you hide the body?" Yet little by little, year after year, bickering and sarcasm and shitty jokes and naps in the shade became their own language. They had a system. They were best friends. They were each other's person. They were 'Grif and Simmons'. And that was perfectly a-okay. Sure, they constantly dealt with people teasing them - mostly good naturedly - about being 'an old married couple' or most people around Chorus assuming they were 'a thing' or 'an item' or dating. Simmons would correct politely. Grif didn't bother as he seemed to give no fucks. Not like that was surprising. At some point a while back Grif just gave up bothering, saying it was 'too much effort to correct people'. True lazyass fashion. Simmon's words. True maverick fashion. Grif's words. Which again, is to be expected. Twenty one years, after all. However, what he didn't expect, in the least, in knowing Dexter Grif for all that time. . . was to ever hear that sentence come out of that mouth. "What?" [When I say I had to cut 85% of what I wrote here out because Tumblr was being an ass.. I mean it.]

Man vs machine
Hello! This is my first fanfic written in English so I'm slightly nervous to post this but I couldn't get this idea out of my head so... I hope you enjoy :)
Bucky Barnes x Reader
Just an old man confused about modern technology.
.
.
.
You were walking past the living room door when a discontented grunt caught your attention. You took two steps back to crane your neck past the half-closed door. Bucky was sitting on the sofa, leaning over the living room table, which looked like a toddlerâs table compared to him, his face illuminated by the bright screen of his new laptop that youâve bought him not too long ago. His eyebrows were tightly knit together when he mumbled a quiet curse. You turned around, a curious expression on your face as you walked through the door.
"You okay, baby?" you asked and promptly sat down next to him. Bucky gave you an inscrutable look before turning his eyes back to the screen. âWhere the hell do I find my emails?â he asked in frustration. A sudden laugh escaped you. You should have realized that a 106 year old man who had little to do with electronics would have some trouble with a laptop. Bucky gave you a displeased look with a slight, unconcious pout appearing on his face. âClick on the internet icon.â You spoke softly, willing to help. Buckyâs brow furrowed. âI donât need the internet, I need my emails.â You stayed silent for a moment, slightly baffled by his words. Just last week you took the effort to set up a Google account with him and you were pretty sure he had paid attention then. âBucky.â You said an amused huff escaping you. âYour e-mail is connected to the Internet. Just click on the icon.â Bucky clicked his tongue in annoyance to cover his slight embarrassment and went back to staring at the desktop. He was definitely taking his time, and at one point you doubted he knew what an icon was. âNeed any help?â you asked as kindly as you could, though the sight of Bucky squinting his eyes like a real old man made your voice sound rather amused. With an exhausted sigh, Bucky leaned back against the seat back and rubbed his face, his shoulders visibly slumping. âYou do it.â
You snort, but immediately apologize after he gives you an exceptionally grumpy look. âYou can do it.â You said encouragingly, giving him a small smile. Bucky rolled his eyes, but relented and bent over the laptop again. You shuffled closer to it so you could see the screen properly, and the little orange and blue Firefox icon literally jumped out at you. You pointed your finger at it and looked at it again. âJust click on this one.â
You tried to be patient with him, really, and actually he did exactly what you said, but you couldnât hold back the little sigh that left your mouth as he moved the cursor over the Firefox icon and clicked. Once. âOkay.â You mumbled, rubbing your eye. Apparently, you needed to be more specific. "This time you click twice." Another brief but piercing look from Bucky before he actually double-clicked and the browser opened. You sent a quick thank you to the heavens before instructing him to type the url into the search tab and cringed silently when he started typing with both of his pointer fingers. Right this second you decided to teach him how to properly type with all ten of his fingers later. A few more instructions later, probably a little more than usually necessary, he reached the Google log-in site.
âI assume you can handle the rest?â It was supposed to be a statement but your voice shifted into a question at the end.
He hummed quietly in affirmation, though his brow was still furrowed as if this whole thing was incredibly complicated which, to be honest⊠it probably was for him. You pressed your lips together, a slight sting of guilt coursing through you, your previous amusement and frustration about his hardship completely vanishing. One second you were quietly sat next to him and the other you had your arms wrapped around his bicep and your head leaning on his shoulder. âIâm sorry about laughing earlier.â You whispered, almost too quiet for him to understand if he werenât a Super-Soldier and had enhanced hearing. âI know itâs new for you.â Bucky tried to shrug it off but you saw how his eyes softened when he tilted his head to look down at you. A sudden, quiet chuckle escaped him, making you quirk an eyebrow in curiosity.
âYouâd think, as a Cyborg, Iâd be better at this.â

I would have included this scan with my recent miscellaneous collab scans post, but I decided it deserves its own post, not just because it's one of the loveliest official Twiyor illustrations I've seen, but also because the story of how I got it is...interesting đ
This image is from the chara fine graph (which is basically a framed picture) that was included as a preorder bonus for buying the complete season 2 blu-ray set from a shop called Rakuten Books (together with badge pins of the same designs). I briefly mentioned it back in October of last year when season 2 was airing, along with preoder bonuses from other shops like Animate and Amazon. I only wanted to get this one though, so as per my usual process of trying to secure rare SxF goods, I made a note to myself to keep an eye out for when it released. Rakuten, which I believe is the main company for Rakuten Books, has their own proxy buying service, and as the season 2 blu-rays were released, I saw them appearing there. But as noted on their main site, the condition for them to send you the chara fine graph is that you must preorder all of the three season 2 blu-ray discs from them. Once you buy the third one, if they know that you've already bought the others, then they'll send you the preorder bonuses along with it.
I was concerned that if I bought the discs via proxy, they wouldn't know that I bought all three and would cancel my order at the end! I would be devastated if that happened after waiting months and spending all that money on the complete set. I knew people would sell the chara fine graph second-hand as soon as it released, so I decided to wait until then and try to find it on Mercari.
So the months went by and eventually I found out that the final blu-ray volume of season 2 would release on April 17th, 2024. I made a mental note to check Mercari for it then, but unfortunately something else released around that same time...CODE: White in the US, which had its first screening on April 18th. Admittingly, I got distracted by the CODE: White release and had seen it twice by the following weekend. I did do some preliminary searching for the chara fine graph, but not with my usual refined search terms. It wasn't until the 21st that I finally sat down and really started searching for it. And while I did find a few listings, they had already been sold.
I was hopeful that more people would sell it, since it had only been less than a week since release. But I guess I underestimated how popular this chara fine graph was because, after the initial five listings I saw that were sold within the span of a few days, none appeared after. I had, like, ten Mercari tabs open on my browser with different search terms that I refreshed many times a day, but nothing was showing up. I would groan whenever I'd see the preorder bonuses for the other shops like Animate and Amazon pop up, but not Rakuten Books. I did finally see one new listing of someone selling just the badge pins, but that was sold within a few minutes, which made me even more nervous. I would also be nervous getting up in the morning since I didn't want to see that a new listing was posted and sold while I was sleeping! Thankfully I work from home so it wasn't too much of an inconvenience for me to refresh the Mercari tabs on my personal computer whenever I had a minute. But as the days went by and I didn't see any new listings, I started getting mad at myself that if I had only started seriously searching for it right on release day, I would have had at least five chances to get it and could have saved myself this hassle. I even sent a message to Rakuten Books via their online form, asking (in Japanese) if they could somehow sell it to me and ship internationally, etc. But their response was pretty much what I expected...a polite "no."
But then, on the evening of May 4th, I found a new listing and immediately bought it! What should have been a red flag though is that the person was selling it for $30 (with the badge pins included), while everyone else had been selling it from around $80-$100. The title they gave to the item was weird too; they simply called it "Spy Family" instead of "Spy Family Chara Fine Graph" or "Spy Family Rakuten Books Bonus" or something descriptive like that. But the seller had a decent rating so I didn't think there was a problem. After I got the email from Buyee (my proxy service) that they successfully bought the item, I thought I was all set. I closed out all my search tabs and went to bed feeling satisfied.
However, when I got up the next morning, my heart sank when I saw that about an hour after I had gone to bed, Buyee sent me another email saying that they refunded and cancelled my order! The reason they gave was "due to the convenience of the seller" đ«
But what was most frustrating about this is that, when I checked the searches again, I saw that the same seller had relisted the item, with a higher price and more descriptive title, and it had been sold already. What probably happened is that the seller realized they made a mistake with the title and price of the listing and wanted to change it, which Mercari apparently allows them to do even after it had already been sold and paid for!
I was furious with Mercari for allowing this. The least they could do in a situation like this is give the original buyer, like, one day to buy the item again with the increased price before the seller is allowed to relist it again. I wanted to write to the seller and/or Mercari, but I wasn't able to make a Mercari account since it's restricted to Japan. I was also internally yelling at myself that if I had just started searching for it within a day or two of release instead of procrastinating, I could have avoided all this. So it was back to square one, but I wasn't going to give up! I opened up more search tabs with even more refined search terms. I also expanded to other proxy-supported shops like Surugaya and Yahoo Japan Auction. I even got my mom to help me, since she's often up in the middle of the night and can check in case anything is listed during that time while I'm asleep. I downloaded the Buyee app too so I could check listings even if I was away from my computer. With all this, I was hopeful I'd be able to buy it again, though it was more of a question of "when" than "if." With second-hand collectibles, you never know when they could pop up...I could find a new listing the next day, or not for a year or two. But I just kept up the searching, and finally, after another month went by, on June 3rd (June 4th in Japan, so technically Twiyor day đ) I finally found it again...on Yahoo Japan Auction of all places!
I had never bought via auction before so I was a bit nervous I'd get outbid or something. But I immediately clicked the "pay buyout price option" (which was only a few dollars more than the original price) and, thankfully, a short while later Buyee informed me that I successfully won the auction! But after what happened before, I was still paranoid that it could get canceled for whatever reason. But that didn't happen, and after waiting for shipping, it finally came~
I always like to add a "lessons learned" in these situations, so I'd say the lesson here is don't be blasé or procrastinate when it comes to something you really want. And of course, being persistent pays off more than not!

Notes: Worshiping!Logan is leaving rent free in my head since I opened the door for him ^^" - Cover made with canva from an idea I got from this post, Art by me, don't steal and don't forget to credit if you share/reblog - Click on the dividers to find the creator - Need a song to go with it? Don't worry, I got you.
Word Count: 9K (Sorry, not sorry and you're welcome đ)
The knock at the door is soft but unmistakable. Part of you wants to ignore it, to sink deeper under the covers and hope whoever it is just takes the hint. But then you hear the voiceâlow and rough, that familiar rasp that somehow feels more comforting than you'd ever admit.
"Hey, kid. Just checkinâ in. You alright in there?" His words float through the door, muffled but distinct.
You blink, processing the last few hours of frustration: the long mission, the awkward trip back with Scott and Jean, the eternity of the debrief, and now Logan standing in the hallway just as you were finally, finally about to get some rest. All you manage is an exasperated sigh.
After a couple of seconds, you call out wearily, "Obviously, no. I just need some damn sleep, and everyone seems dead set on preventing it." Your tone is sharper than you intended, but exhaustion has frayed your patience to threads.
Thereâs a pause, then Loganâs voice comes again, softer this time, "Mind if I come in?"
With another sigh, you check yourself, making sure your t-shirt and sweatpants are at least somewhat presentable. "Yeah, sure," you reply, sounding resigned.
Logan cracks the door open and steps inside, his gaze immediately finding you sitting on the edge of the bed, a mixture of irritation and weariness etched on your face.
He studies you, eyes narrowing slightly as he takes in the tension thatâs all but wrapped itself around your shoulders, the deep fatigue thatâs visible even in your posture. His mouth shifts, a faint tug at one corner, almost a smileâmaybe even a touch apologeticâbefore he nods.
âRight. Didnât mean to add to the racket.â He sounds sincere, like maybe he gets it, more than most would. âBut⊠youâre wound up tighter than Iâve seen in a while. Donât reckon youâll relax anytime soon unless someone helps you out with that.â
You look up at him, caught off guard by the unexpected warmth in his tone, not sure what he is hinting at. But before you can respond, he jerks his thumb toward the hallway. âLook, just stay put, alright? Be back in a minute. Promise Iâll make it worth the wait.â
Before you can answer him, heâs already turning away, leaving you with just enough curiosityâand exhaustionâto keep you on the edge of the bed, wondering just what he has planned.
True to his word, he returns just a few minutes later, carrying a worn leather pouch. Thereâs a small smileâalmost sheepishâas he steps inside and closes the door with a quiet click, muffling the mansionâs constant hum. Crossing the room in a few easy strides, he gestures for you to lie on your stomach, his gaze softer, more intimate.
âTrust me on this,â he murmurs, as he settles on the edge of your bed. He pulls a small bottle from the pouch, uncapping it to release the soft, calming scent of soothing oil. âDidnât figure you for the lavender type,â he says, pouring some oil into his hands and rubbing it between his palms, warming it, âbut it does the trick.â
Before you know it, his strong hands slides beneath the collar of your t-shirt, finding the tight muscles of your shoulders. His fingers, precise and steady, easing the tension out of muscles that have been screaming for relief since the mission began. His thumbs knead into the knots at the base of your neck, his touch deliberate as he shifts the fabric, lifting and tugging gently so his hands can reach every bit of tension without asking you to expose yourself. Heâs quiet, focused, his touch somehow both grounding and gentle, guiding you toward a feeling of calm you havenât felt in a long time.
You exhale slowly, the last remnants of frustration beginning to melt away as his hands move with that practiced touch into the tense muscles along your neck and shoulders. Each press of his fingers feels purposeful, as if heâs intent on unraveling the weight of the week with every stroke, and the sensation of his warm hands just beneath the shirtâs collar brings a kind of quiet intimacy that stirs a few butterflies in your stomach.
âJust relax,â he says quietly, his voice softer than usual, as though heâs speaking directly to whateverâs gnawing at you from the inside. âNo oneâs bothering you for the next while. And if they try⊠well, Iâll deal with âem.â
There's a pause, and youâre almost certain you catch the slightest shift in his tone, something gentler, almost⊠tender.
His hands finally comes out from your shirtâs collar, leaving a cold emptiness, and a shudder shakes you at the thought of him pulling away from you. But he doesnât. Not really. Instead he clears his throat, his fingers finding your waist, sliding just under the hem of your t-shirt, and he lets his hands drift along your back.
He never asks you to take off your shirt, never even makes a move to remove it himself. Thereâs something surprising in his restraint, the way he carefully works around it, as if respecting a boundary he somehow senses. Or maybe⊠maybe he just isnât interested in you that way. But before you can dwell on the thought, you find yourself adjusting, lifting the hem just a little, almost without realizing itâjust enough for him to reach the places that need his touch the most.
He takes it in stride, his hands gliding down your spine with more intent now, applying a gentle but firm pressure that works through the aches and pains buried there. âI read the report. You did good out there,â he murmurs, his voice barely above a whisper as his hands trail along your lower back, slow and sure. âHell of a job, bub.â
His words are simple, but somehow they reach into that part of you thatâs been neglected for so long, easing a sense of loneliness you didnât realize had settled in. Loganâs touch, his voice, the weight of his presenceâall of it feels like the kind of comfort youâve been craving, whether or not youâd admit it out loud. And maybe itâs the exhaustion or the way his words eased the ache of your heart but you feel yourself drifting slowly as the warm press of his hands continue to work over your shoulders blades and down your back, coaxing you closer to the edge of sleep. Another deep sigh escape your lips and just as youâre about to give in, you feel him pull back the hem of your t-shirt and settle beside you, still watching, as though heâs making sure youâre okay.
âGet some rest, sweetheart,â he murmurs, low and close, his voice a quiet promise that youâre safeâwrapped in his presence, shielded from the world, if only for a little while.
The room is still as you blink awake, the quiet pressing in around you. The sheets beside you are cold where he once sat, his warmth replaced by the chill of an empty bed. The softness of his hands, the scent of lavender oilâfleeting, half-faded memories slip through your mind, dreamlike. If it weren't for that faint trace of him clinging to your skin, you'd almost think youâd imagined it, that it was a dream.
But it wasnât.
The thought should bring you comfort, but instead, it cuts deeper, the hollow ache in your chest growing sharper with each breath. Your hand clutches the sheets, fingertips brushing over the fabric heâd left behind, but thereâs no warmth to hold onto. The room feels heavy in his absence, the silence thick and pressing down around you.
Finally, you pull yourself up, feet meeting the cool floor as you wrap your arms around yourself, your chest tightening against the urge to cry. You donât even know why you feel this restless acheâjust that something inside you feels cracked, raw. And the only one who might know how to put it back together⊠isnât here.
The room feels stifling, a heavy weight pressing down on you. You need to escape, to breathe. Unable to stay still, you slip out of your room and into the shadowed hallways of the mansion. Your bare feet tread quietly over the carpeted floors, the vast, darkened hallways swallowing each step. The silence settles in, but it doesnât bring peace; instead, it pulls you deeper into the emptiness he left behind. Even Scott and Jean, even the tense missions and the unspoken glances, had felt less draining than thisâthe feeling that all the calm heâd left you with, all that gentle ease heâd brought, had somehow vanished into the air the second he left. Now, itâs just you⊠and this hollow, aching quiet.
In the stillness of the night, your restless feet carry you down the hall without you fully noticing where youâre going and before you realize it, youâre standing in front of his door. The sight of it jolts you out of your haze, your hand already lifted to knock before you even register the decision to come here. Your knuckles brush the wood, a hesitant noise that barely breaks the silence. The second the sound leaves your hand, a thousand doubts surge up, freezing you in place.
What are you doing? Itâs the middle of the night. You should leave, before you ruin everythingâbefore you make a fool of yourself, before you shatter whatever gentle thread connected you two in the quiet of the evening. You feel your heart tighten with regret, and you take a shaky step back, cursing yourself for even letting yourself hope for something more.
Then, the door swings open.
Loganâs sharp senses had picked up your approach long before youâd even arrived, and the soft, hesitant knock felt like a whisper of your heartbeat reaching out to him.
When he heard your footsteps retreating something had stirred in himâan instinct, a need. Before he could think it through, he was already halfway across the room, hand on the doorknob.
As he pulls the door open, you freeze, just a few steps away, caught in the soft glow spilling from his room.
God, youâre breathtaking.
For a moment, neither of you moves. His clothes mirror your own, but his eyes feel sharp. Wasnât he asleep despite the hour? His brows furrow slightly, and a glint of worry twists something deep in your chest as his gaze takes you inâthe loose shirt, bare feet, the lingering haze in your eyes from interrupted sleep. You can see questions flickering in his expression, a quiet alertness that wasnât there a moment ago. But when your gaze lifts to meet his, the sadness there hits him like a punch to the gut. Itâs raw and vulnerable, tugging at something deep within him, squeezing his heart until all he wants is to close the distance, pull you in, and promise that everything will be okay.
âEverything alright, bub?â he asks instead, his voice low, but laced with genuine concern. Itâs not like you to come to him, especially not like this, and the worry behind his wordsâthe way his hand almost instinctively moves to steady youâmakes your heart stutter.
The surprise in your eyes fades, replaced by something softerâsomething that almost makes him forget to breathe. He lets the silence stretch between you, his eyes searching yours, trying to grasp all the unspoken emotions lingering there. You open your mouth to respond, the words catching in your throat as his gaze waits, steady, braced for whatever brought you here. You shrug, uncertainty settling in as you look away.
Thereâs no good reason you can find to explain why youâre standing here in the middle of the night outside his doorâexcept maybe that you need him. But you canât say that. The words are stuck in your throat, leaving only the weight of the ache youâd been trying to stifle. The smell of lavender clings to you, a reminder of his hands easing away your exhaustion, his voice quiet, and his presence just close enough to hold you steady. Somehow, that only makes it harder.
But Logan doesnât press. It doesnât matter; you sought him, so there must be a reason, even if youâre the only one who can grasp it. Heâs no stranger to struggling with complex emotions that simmer under the surface, knowing the words are there but unable to bring them up, caught somewhere just out of reach.
You shift awkwardly, vulnerability clawing its way up. You try again, opening your mouth once more to say something, anything, but he cuts you off gently. âItâs okay, bub. Donât have to explain yourself.â
Thereâs no judgment, no questions. Just him. âCome on in,â he says as he opens the door widerâa silent invitationâand the warmth from his room spills out like an embrace. It looks like the simplest thing in the world. And maybe it is, for him. Stepping back, he gives you the space to step in if you want. In that moment, all the restless ache, all the sadness, begins to fade just a little, as if his presence alone eases the pain.
You hesitate, but in his eyes, you see nothing but quiet understanding laced with concern. He knows youâre holding back and offers a safe space without a word. Finally, your feet move on their own, and you step forward, crossing the threshold. He closes the door softly behind you. The dimly lit room feels smaller now, but not stifling like yours; itâs like stepping into a cocoon of warmth and cedar and him, wrapping around you, steadying you in a way that nothing else could, chasing away the shadows that cling to you.
Youâre still a little unsure, your hand nervously playing with the hem of your t-shirt, feeling like one wrong move will shatter whatever delicate balance is holding you both together right now. He doesnât say anything else, just gestures to the edge of his bed for you to sit, and the unspoken trust between you is almost tangible.
And for now, just thisâjust himâis enough.
Logan watches as you settle yourself at the end of his bed, your fingers still fidgeting with the hem of your shirt. His gaze softens even more, that raw edge in his eyes easing into something you almost donât recognizeâlike heâs trying to shield you from everything weighing on you in that moment.
He doesnât sit, though. Instead, he steps over to the small cabinet by his bed, pulling out a bottle and pouring a measure into two glasses. With a gentle smile, he presses one into your hand before taking his place on the chair across from you, facing you. âMaybe thisâll help,â he says, his voice soft, lightly clinking his glass against yours before taking a sip.
The whiskey is warm, smooth, chasing away the lingering chill and melting some of the stiffness thatâs been weighing you down. You drink in silence, your gaze on the floor, until you feel his hand come to rest over yours, warm ad reassuring, without expectation.
You try to keep your composure, but his touchâsolid yet gentleâdissolves what little is left of your resolve. And before you realize it, the tears youâve kept at bay pool in your eyes, catching you off guard. But Logan doesnât pull away.
âYou know,â he begins softly, his voice as gentle as youâve ever heard it, âyou donât have to handle everything alone.â His thumb brushes gently over your knuckles, and for a moment, his words reach the ache in your chest, like heâs giving you permission to let your guard down. âIâm here whenever you need me.â
The words burrow into the ache in your chest, breaking something open inside you, and a tear slips free. Logan doesnât look away. Instead, he reaches out, his calloused thumb brushing it from your cheek with a gentleness that makes you feel fragile, breakable, and yet somehow, like youâre the safest youâve ever been. His gaze is soft, unguarded, none of his usual rough exterior, and the dam youâve been holding back finally breaks, tears spilling down your cheeks before you can stop them.
Logan, still holding your hand, doesnât look away. Instead, he smoothly sets both glasses aside on the chair heâd been sitting on, his movements unhurried, while he takes a seat next to you.
Before you know it, youâre wrapped in his arms, his solid warmth softly eroding the loneliness you hadnât realized had settled so deep. His free hand rests at your back, drawing soothing circles as he murmurs, âYouâre alright, sweetheart. I got you.â
And right now, with him holding you like this, you almost believe it.
That makes the tears come harder, raw and unbidden, and as you rest your head against his chest, Loganâs hold tightens, anchoring you in a way that makes you want to stay right here forever. Each wrenching sob feels like it shakes you both, echoing through the stillness, and in his arms, you sense the way heâs taking in every tremor as though he can shoulder it, piece by piece, with you. The emptiness youâve been carrying slips free, finally heard and understood without the need for words.
You lean into him, letting everything go, letting yourself be vulnerable in a way you havenât let yourself in a long time. And he doesnât shy awayâheâs solid, present, his hand still rubbing slow, steady circles at your back, each one easing the ache just a little more. The weight of his head rests against yours, and he lets out a quiet breath, one that feels almost like itâs unraveling along with you. Itâs as if your pain, your loneliness, is something heâs felt in his bones too, something he understands as deeply as you do.
Your breathing finally starts to steady, the silence folding around you both, and you become aware of how close you are, how easily you fit against him. His hand is still on your back, his fingers gentle but firm, keeping you grounded, safe.
He doesnât let go, not yet. He keeps holding you, like he knows just how fragile the moment is, how much you need this. And maybe he does, maybe thatâs exactly why heâs here, still holding you as if to say that heâs not going anywhere.
When you finally pull back, his hands linger a little longer than necessary, brushing along your arms before he lets them fall away. You look up, meeting his gaze, and the softness thereâthe warmth that you almost never get to seeâis so clear it nearly takes your breath away. Thereâs something in his eyes thatâs raw, unguarded, as if heâs letting you see right into him, the way heâs been letting you into his heart all this time, even if neither of you realized it until now.
âYou good?â he murmurs, voice hushed in the quiet, but thereâs a hint of a soft smile tugging at his lips, the kind that makes you feel a little lighter.
You nod, and his smile grows just a bit, a spark of something warmer, softer, flickering between you.
âIâm sorry, IâŠâ you start, but he cuts you off with a gentle shake of his head.
âNothinâ to be sorry for, sweetheart,â he says quietly, and his hand reaches up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind your ear, lingering just for a second. âSometimes itâs just⊠better not beinâ alone with it, yâknow?â
His words settle into you, and once again, you feel the ache ease, a peace seeping into the hollow spaces.
You both sit there in the quiet of his room, comfortable in a way you never thought you could be, the space between you feeling less like a distance and more like something sharedâsomething solid, something real.
And with Logan there, his warmth close enough to feel, you almost start to believe that maybe you donât have to carry everything alone anymore. The thought gives you just enough strength to voice what you need, a soft whisper leaving your lips before you can second-guess it.
âCan I⊠spend the night here?â The words are barely more than a breath, and you almost want to take them back, worried heâll say itâs not a good idea. What you really want to say is, With you. In your warmth, but the words catch, too vulnerable to release.
But he doesnât hesitate or throw up any walls. Instead, he just nods, voice soft, a steady warmth in his eyes. ââCourse you can.â He gestures to his desk, then adds, âI just gotta finish up something, but make yourself comfortable.â
Relief floods you, and you nod shyly, barely believing heâd let you stay. He offers you a soft smile and as you settle onto his bed, you watch him put away the glasses before returning to his desk, the quiet sounds of him flipping through papers filling the room. You take in the comforting familiarity of his place, the faint scent of cedar lingering, grounding you, and his calm presence nearby.
The warm light of his lamp casts a soft glow, creating a rim around his silhouette that makes it nearly impossible to tear your eyes away. As he grades, he asks you about the mission, his voice a low, comforting rumble that eases the tension knotted up in your chest. You tell him about the contact, the filesâhow it took some time to track them down, but everything went smoother than expected when you finally met them; perhaps even too smoothly. He listens with that rare focus of his, asking about Jean and Scott, prompting an involuntary frown to tug at your lips.
âJean and Scott are fine,â you say, a hint of frustration threading through your voice. âThough Scott could probably learn not to glue himself to her side every five minutes.â
Logan lets out a quiet laugh, finishing his last mark on the page. Then, with a stretch that pulls his folded arms above his head, you catch the faint shift of muscles beneath his shirt, the strength and ease in his posture.
But he doesnât let the silence linger long, rising from his chair and making his way to the bed. You feel every inch of space tighten as he stands beside you, his expression unreadable, though his eyes hold a softness that makes your pulse race.
âAlright, scoot over,â the words are a gentle rumble that makes you shiver.
Your heart hammers in your chest, louder than youâd like, but you shift over, trying not to look too eager, as he settles beside you. Gently, he pulls the covers over you both, his arm coming around your shoulders, drawing you closer with a tenderness you hadnât quite expected. The warmth seeps into your skin, anchoring you, yet leaving you a little breathless all the same.
âThis okay?â he murmurs, his voice low, almost like itâs more than just a questionâitâs the quiet way heâs asking if this is where you want to be, if the trust youâre giving him feels safe.
You nod, barely managing to find your voice. âYeah⊠yeah, itâs perfect.â You can feel the tension melt from his shoulders, and he draws you in just a little closer, his fingers brushing gently along your arm, reassuring you, steadying you.
You let yourself lean into him, feeling the comforting weight of his arm, the steady beat of his heart, and something inside you loosens. In his warmth, you finally start to feel like you can let go of the weight you've been carrying alone.
"Want to talk about what made you cry this much, sweetheart?" His voice is so gentle, it stirs a thousand butterflies in your stomach, soft wings fluttering wildly.
You hesitate, the words lodged somewhere between your mind and heart, tangled up in a mess youâre not sure you want to unpackânot when heâs holding you this close. What if he pulls back? What if saying it out loud makes him realize that the walls youâve built around yourself are too heavy to break down? So, instead, you give a small shrug, gaze fixed anywhere but on him.
Heâs not letting that slide, though. His fingers find your chin, lifting it so his eyes meet yours, and the look in them is something that cuts straight to your core. Heâs searching, looking for any hint of understanding on your face, any clue to ease the worry etched into his own.
âTalk to me, darlinâ.â His voice is barely above a whisper, warm and rough all at once, a touch of desperation woven into the words. âI hate seeinâ you so raw. Tell me how I can help you⊠Tell me how to make you smile again.â
It breaks something in you. His voice, so soft, so full of a care youâre not sure you deserve, leaves your heart aching in a way you canât put words to.
âIâŠâ Your voice trembles, and you drop your gaze, the heat of emotion rising, cheeks flushing. But finally, you look back up, letting your eyes roam over the details of his faceâthe lines of his jaw, the warmth in his gaze, the way heâs watching you so intently. âI felt⊠empty.â The words come out, quiet, as though admitting it might make it more real.
He nods slowly, waiting, giving you the space to open up. But when you donât say anything more, his eyes donât waver, the silent question hanging in the air between you both.
âIs there a way⊠you could fill up that void?â he asks, voice low, like heâs afraid of breaking the moment.
You shrug, feeling the vulnerability creeping up, the fear that if you answer, if you tell him everything, it might somehow shatter whateverâs here between you two.
âCan I?â His words catch you off guard, a question with a weight you can feel pressing down on your heart, and your breath hitches, your pulse thrumming just a little faster. You try to look away, but his hand shifts, moving from your chin to your cheek, cradling your face in a touch that feels almost reverent.
âWould you⊠allow me to?â he asks, and for the first time, thereâs a raw uncertainty in his voice that youâve rarely heard.
Your eyes widen, snapping to his. Is he serious? Every inch of you feels frozen, the words lodged somewhere deep, caught in the shock of realizing what heâs asking.
âDo⊠do you want to?â The words are barely a whisper, breaking in the middle, your voice unable to keep up with the weight of what youâre asking.
âOf course I do.â His voice is soft, steady, like heâs been waiting for this moment, his thumb brushing against your cheek in a way that sends a shiver down your spine. âBeen wantinâ to for a long time now.â
Your heart skips, and you finally let it slip out, the confession thatâs been haunting you all this time. âMe too.â
A small smile curves his lips, warm and tender, and you feel the heat in your cheeks spreading, creeping up to the tips of your ears. You watch as he leans closer, his gaze steady, the closeness making your pulse thunder in your ears until it feels like this one moment is going to consume every heartbeat you have left.
And maybe⊠maybe if you did, if you spent the last of your breath in his arms, it would be the perfect way to go, the only place where you feel you truly belong.
You close your eyes just for a second, and then his lips brush yours, soft and tentative, and your breath catches, your lips parting instinctively, inviting him in. The kiss is gentle at first, careful, and it feels like both of you are slowly pouring everything unsaid, everything youâve held back, into this single moment.
âDamn,â he whispers against your lips, voice rough, his breath mingling with yours. âHow am I so lucky?â
As your eyes flutter open, youâre met with his gaze, heavy and full of wonder, like heâs trying to memorize every inch of your face. You give him a small, shy smile, feeling a bit too seen under the weight of his gaze.
âMaybeâŠâ You hesitate, warmth flushing your cheeks as you search for the words. âMaybe Iâm your lucky charm?â
The line is cheesy, and you feel heat rushing to your face, fighting the urge to bury yourself against his chest just to hide the embarrassment. But he just chuckles, low and warm, his thumb brushing lightly over your cheek as his eyes roam your face like heâs drinking you in, committing each detail to memory.
âThat you are, darlinâ,â he murmurs, leaning in again, voice like gravel softened with something sweeter. âThat you are.â
His lips find yours again, slow and unhurried, tasting, savoring, like heâs taking his time with his favorite indulgence. The heat between you flares, your body instinctively arching toward him, pressing your chest to his as if theyâre two pieces meant to fit together. Your hands find their way to his shoulders, fingers curling into his shirt as the world narrows down to thisâjust the two of you, here, together.
Your legs entwine with his, pulling him closer as he keeps kissing you, each touch lingering, like heâs trying to make this last forever. Thereâs an intensity to it, a quiet desperation, like he wants to remember everythingâthe feel of you, the taste of your lips, the warmth of your body against his. And you know, somewhere deep down, heâs making a promise he canât quite say, a vow wrapped in every gentle, fervent kiss.
His hands roam gently, as if they canât bear to leave your skin for more than a heartbeat. Every touch, every kiss, feels like he's staking his claim, like heâs savoring the feel of you under his hands, the softness of your skin against his lips.
âI rememberâŠâ he murmurs, his voice a rough whisper between kisses trailing along your neck, each one setting a spark to life. ââŠthe first day you came here.â Another kiss, and you shiver, feeling the warmth of his breath on your skin. âHow the sun played in your hairâŠâ His words feel like a prayer, spoken in a reverent hush against you.
Your heart hammers as he continues, his lips brushing your collarbone. âHow your eyes shined under it.â He breathes you in, and the tenderness in that single moment makes your heart ache. âAnd how your lips seemed so soft, so perfectâŠâ His voice dips, roughened with memory and desire. âI wanted to taste them.â
A shudder runs through you, and as his arms tighten around you, itâs like every crack, every empty space inside you, is filling, piece by piece. The walls you built around yourself feel like theyâre crumbling, and in their place, thereâs only himâholding you close, grounding you, making you whole.
A flood of tears blurs your vision at his words, the intensity of his affection almost too much to bear. Your heart feels like it might shatter, overwhelmed by the rawness of his attention. You want to ask him to pause, to let you catch your breath, but a deeper part of you needs him to keep going, to pull you under until you canât feel anything but him.
Your fingers slide into his hair, holding tight, and youâre both so entwined that itâs impossible to tell where you end and he begins. His solid thigh presses between yours, igniting a heat that settles low in your core, and the ache becomes an insistent, undeniable need.
"I want you," you murmur, your voice trembling with the weight of it, as if just speaking those words could release the ache, the longing thatâs gripped you for so long.
His lips brush along your neck, sending another shiver through you. "You already have me, darlinâ," he murmurs, his words laced with a gentle finality. âAinât goinâ anywhere.â
A soft whimper escapes you as your hips press against him, the friction driving you deeper into the haze of want. A flush of embarrassment runs through you, but your body has a will of its own, hungry for him, desperate to drink in every bit of warmth heâs offering.
âShhhâŠâ he whispers, his voice a calming balm, âdonât rush this.â His lips find the line of your jaw, brushing a trail of warmth as he presses you closer. âWe got all the time in the world.â
He slows you, anchoring you in this moment. His touch, his steady breaths against your skin, gently pull you back from the edge, letting the need pulse just below the surface, allowing you to feelâtruly feelâwhat it means to have him right here, as close as two people can be.
But even as the urgency eases, a deeper ache remains, simmering low but insistent, drawing you to him.
âPlease, LoâŠâ Your voice is raw, your eyes glazed, pleading. âI need this.â
He lets out a low chuckle, his arms tightening around your waist as he studies you, his gaze soft and unreadable. "Alright, darlin'," he finally murmurs, a spark in his eyes. "Anything for you."
His hand slips beneath the sheets, his touch warm as it traces along your waistline, sending shivers under your skin, then dips under, finding the heat between your thighs. A reverent âDamnâŠâ escapes him as he discovers just how ready you are. One of his finger slips into you, slow and steady, as he shakes his head with a dark smile. âLook at you, darlinâ⊠all set for me.â
Your breath hitches as your eyes meet his. The way heâs watching you, so focused, as if heâs memorizing every expression you make, every soft soundâheâs completely lost in you, his gaze heavy with both desire and adoration.
You canât hold back; your hips move, seeking more, and he obliges, adding a second finger, building a steady rhythm that has you panting. The friction of your clit against his thigh adds to the rising pleasure, making you gasp, âOh, godâŠâ
âFor you, itâll just be Logan,â he teases, the corners of his mouth quirking up. You let out a soft laugh, your body shuddering with pleasure even through your chuckle.
And then it hits youâthe realization slipping in alongside the mounting pleasure. You love him. This never was just a fleeting crush or harmless infatuation; itâs deeper, the kind of ache that takes root, the kind of feeling that leaves marks.
His fingers keep their pace, curling just right, and he leans close, voice a murmur against your ear. âBut you⊠youâre a hungry little goddess, arenât ya?â His words make you shiver, your heart pounding with a desperate, heady ache. No oneâs ever spoken to you like this, made you feel this wayâlike youâre both worshiped and needed all at once.
Tears fill your eyes as you hold onto him, fingers tangled in his hair. He captures your mouth in a slow, tender kiss, pouring everything he feels into it, and when the tears finally slip down your cheeks, he doesnât let go. He just holds you tighter, kissing you as if youâre the only thing heâll ever need.
âYouâre so damn gorgeousâŠâ he whispers, his breath warm against your lips. âThe things I could do for you, darlinââŠâ His voice dips low, almost reverent, each word soaked in devotion. âAnything you ask.â Itâs a promise without conditions, the kind that sends a shiver straight through you. You can feel your body teetering at the edge, aching for that final release, and he can sense it too, his fingers curled inside you, urging you on.
âCome on, goddess,â he murmurs, his tone coaxing, steady. âTake that leap. Iâve got you, darlinâ.â The words settle over you like a safety net, and all you can do is hold onto him as your body finally lets go, every muscle tightening before the wave of pleasure crashes over you, leaving you breathless, clutching him like heâs the only thing keeping you tethered.
âLoganâŠâ His name is a whisper on your lips, barely a sound, but he hears it, feels it. Your body trembles, and he doesnât stop, guiding you through every second of your high, his quiet voice a thread grounding you, keeping you anchored. âThatâs it, darlinâ. Iâm right here⊠All yours.â
You melt against him, laughter spilling out, soft and blissful, until your breath slows and your limbs relax. And then, as the high fades, reality sharpens around youâWhat have you done? The thought hits hard, like a jolt, and your face heats as you come back to yourself, feeling the full weight of your own boldness. Yet there he is, watching you with that gentle smile, utterly unfazed, as if heâd been waiting for this all along.
âIs my goddessâ hunger finally satisfied?â His hand slips from you, resting on your hip as he pulls you close, like heâs sealing you to him.
The weight of his words, the way he says âgoddessâ with such warmth, makes you shrink a little in embarrassment. You nod, unable to do anything but smile, a whispered âthank youâ escaping as he watches you with that familiar, affectionate gaze. His smile deepens, a hint of pride there, as if heâs just as grateful to be here for you, to be whatever you need.
âDo you want me toâŠâ you fumble with your words, your hand finding his length under the sheets.
His breath catches in his throat as you touch him, and for a moment, he closes his eyes, like heâs savoring every second. When he opens them again, you can see the desire flicker in his eyes. âOnly if you want to,â he murmurs, his voice a low rumble, lips grazing your temple in reassurance. You can tell he wants thisâyou can see it in his gaze, in the tension held in his body. But heâs holding back, leaving the choice entirely to you, and that makes your heart ache with the depth of his care. You offer him a soft smile, feeling your confidence build.
"Of course I do," you say, your words barely above a whisper as you grip him a little more firmly, feeling the way he pulses under your touch through the fabric of his pants. His eyes flutter shut for a handful of seconds, a deep groan slipping from his lips, and it sends a thrill through you. You want to see more of that side of himâthe one that unravels under your hands.
âYou deserve it,â you say tentatively, and the way his pupils dilate, the sudden, open look of vulnerability in his faceâit leaves you breathless as you contemplate the power your words, your voice, holds over him. âYou served me well,â you continue with a teasing smile, testing the waters, emboldened by the way he craves your touch. âYou deserve a reward for your devotion.â Your words are shaky, but he doesnât seem to mind; if anything, he seems to fall further under your spell, watching you with a look of pure reverence.
A blissful smile, like youâve given him a gift heâd only dreamed of, blossoms on his lips, igniting a warmth in your chest. You lower the waistband of his pants along his hips, and he helps you, propping himself on his elbow to create space for his pants to slide down. With a shared sense of urgency, you quickly follow suit, shedding your own pants, feeling a thrill in the closeness and vulnerability.
For a moment, you pause, breath mingling in the space between you, before he reaches for the hem of your shirt, his fingers brushing your skin as he lifts it over your head. You follow, slipping his shirt over his shoulders until heâs bare beside you. Exposed and unguarded, your bodies mirror each other, every inch shared with nothing between you but a deep, unspoken trust.
âGod, youâre stunning,â he breathes, his voice low and reverent, the admiration in his gaze making you feel cherished.
âLie down,â you order, cheeks warm as you push against his chest with a finger, your voice still shaky yet inviting. He holds your gaze, a spark of warmth and willingness in his eyes as he murmurs, âYes, goddess,â his tone layered with a promise that heâd do anything you ask, gladly. He sinks back into the mattress, anticipation and excitement radiating from him as he watches you push back the sheets. Your heart races as you straddle him, your core pressing against him, feeling the heat radiate from his skin.
As you settle into position, you reach for his hard length, guiding it towards you, a rush of electricity coursing through your body as you align him with your entrance. His breath hitches, and his hands instinctively settle on your hips as you lower yourself onto him, inch by inch, until youâre both tangled together, bodies fully aligned, savoring the stretch and warmth as he fills you completely. For a few seconds, you both go still, reveling in the sensation.
Loganâs hands grip your sides, fingers pressing into your skin with just enough firmness to keep you close. His chest rises and falls with a shaky breath as his eyes, pupils blown wide, never leave yours, darkened with longing and something deeper, reverent, like heâs been waiting for this, for you, longer than he can say.
âYou sure know how to make a man feel lucky,â he whispers, hands trailing up and down your thighs with a gentleness that sends a shiver down your spine. His fingers press into your skin, tethering you both, as if heâs afraid you might disappear.
You canât take it anymore and start to move, slow at first, testing the waters, rocking your hips in a rhythm that has him groaning low in his throat, the sound vibrating through you. His hands travel to your waist, tightening their grip, encouraging yet still letting you take control. You set the pace, finding your rhythm, feeling every reaction, every ripple of tension in his muscles, the way his mouth parts as he lets you take him, guiding him. You revel in the exquisite blend of pleasure and fullness that makes your heart race.
The friction, the closenessâeverything feels overwhelming yet so right. His eyes flutter shut for a heartbeat, but he forces them open again, locking onto you like he doesnât want to miss a single moment. With each roll of your hips, his breathing quickens, and you can feel every shudder, every quiet murmur he lets slip.
âDamn, youâre everything, darlinâ,â he whispers, a mix of awe and reverence in his voice, as his gaze locks onto yours, filled with desire. His words wrap around you, the steady warmth and adoration anchoring you as you ride the waves together, each breath, each movement bringing you closer, binding you tighter, like heâs willing to worship you, soul and all.
âLogan,â you breathe, your voice barely a whisper, and he responds by brushing his thumb over your cheek, drawing both of you deeper into the moment as you keep moving, the intensity building stronger between you.
He groans again, low and guttural, the sound vibrating through you and encouraging you to press on. His hands travel down to your hips again, his grip tightening as he urges you to keep going. You can feel the heat building in your core, a delicious pressure that you both chase.
âYouâre incredible,â he breathes, his eyes filled with admiration, and you find strength in his words. The connection between you deepens with each movement, each gasp, each whispered encouragement, making you feel as though youâre lost in a world of your own, where nothing else exists but the two of you.
âJust like that, goddess,â he whispers, his voice hoarse, and you shiver at the praise. You continue to ride him, feeling the tension in your body rise, both panting as you approach the edge together.
âCome on, let go,â he encourages, sensing how close you are, his words a plea, like a prayer, each syllable pulling you closer to that edge. Every muscle in your body tightens, as if youâre standing on the precipice of something divine. You clutch his arms tightly, anchoring yourself to him in the overwhelming storm of pleasure.
âLoâŠâ your voice is breathless, a whisper that speaks of need, and he responds by grounding you, coaxing you further into ecstasy. âIâm right here, darlinâ,â he murmurs, his words an unbreakable promise that fills you with warmth and security.
And then, the rush of pleasure bursts through you, overwhelming your senses as you seize against him. Every gasp, every moan is a testament to the depth of what you share. âOh fuckâŠâ The words slip from your lips, dissolving into soft laughter as the world fades, leaving just the two of you, bodies entwined in bliss.
You feel him tensing beneath you, his breaths coming in heavy pants that send a thrill through you. âMay I come, goddess?â he asks, his voice thick with need.
âYes,â you reply, still riding the waves of your own release. âCome for me.â
He grips your hips hard, his fingers digging in, and you know itâs going to leave bruises, but you donât care. You relish the thought of him marking your flesh, each pressure heightening the sensations coursing through your body. With a few more thrusts of your hips, he joins you in rapture, emptying himself within you, giving you everything he is without holding back. You feel the warmth spreading inside your core as you watch him come undone under your gaze, a sight so beautiful it sends another wave of pleasure crashing over you.
Itâs a strange thing to tower over him like this, to have the Wolverine at your mercy, to command the beast in him with a simple word or glance. But you love it; no, itâs more than thatâit empowers you in a way youâve never experienced before. As he loses himself to you, you feel another ache building inside, an insatiable hunger that suggests you could easily go another round.
But just as you prepare to move again, he stops you, grabbing your hands and pulling you to his chest. âShhh,â he soothes, kissing your knuckles, his voice a low rumble. âPlease, let me have this for a sec.â
You smile, leaning in to kiss his chest before settling there, your fingers playing with the soft hair beneath your fingertips. It feels warm and comforting, a safe haven that makes your heart race with a mix of excitement and tenderness. âOkay,â you whisper back. âYou can. You earned it.â
A deep sigh escapes him, one filled with a sense of relief and belonging. âI dreamt of this so much,â he confesses, his hands brushing through your hair, tender and reverent.
In that moment, as you nestle against him, you can feel the weight of his words, the vulnerability wrapped in his admission. It feels monumental, the connection deepening with every heartbeat, every shared breath.
You still feel him rock hard inside you, promises of more pleasure lingering between you, but you donât move. Youâre just content to be here, to enjoy this shared moment.
âI imagined it so often too,â you say, comforted by his words. âBut I thought⊠I thought you didnâtâŠâ Your voice breaks under the emotions and tears well up in your eyes again, a mix of relief and vulnerability spilling over.
He senses the hint of despair in your voice, and he sits up, pulling you closer with a gentle hand on your back. âItâs okay, sweetheart,â he soothes you softly, his voice wrapped in warmth. âItâs over now. Iâm here.â
It feels as if all the pain and fear were just a distant nightmare, and youâve finally woken up in his arms. You kiss him, desperately, as though itâs your last day on earth, and he leans in, his hands wrapping around your waist, anchoring you in the warmth of this reality.
âIâm not going anywhere,â he murmurs as you part slightly, your foreheads pressed together, his breath mingling with yours. âIâll always be here to care for you, my goddess.â
His words resonate deeply within you, filling you with an overwhelming sense of joy. You can feel the reverence in his tone, the way he honors you, making you feel like the center of his universe.
With trembling hands, you hug him back tightly, tears sliding down your cheeks once more, a testament to the joy he brings you in this instant. He holds you firmly, and in that embrace, everything feels rightâsafe and cherished, as if youâve finally found your home in each other.
You stay in that tender embrace for a few moments until he pulls away, his thumbs gently drying your cheeks. âYou good?â he asks, worry flickering in his eyes. You nod, feeling the warmth of his concern wrap around you like a comforting blanket.
Shifting your knees, you wrap your legs around him, your ankles crossing at his back. âStill hungry?â he teases, a playful smile spreading across his face. You respond with a low laugh, feeling a rush of warmth at his question.
âJust a little peckish,â you admit, shyly biting your lip while your gaze drift away. But he chuckles, his arms around your waist pulling you closer. âThen I should feed you properly,â he replies, a hint of humor dancing in his words.
Your breath catches in your throat as you feel him moving inside you, the new angle bringing a fresh wave of sensation through your body. The shift sparks a thrill that sends a shiver down your spine, and you chuckle softly, matching his own low laugh. He buries his nose in your hair, inhaling deeply, and something primal flares within you, urging you to start grinding against him once more.
âYes, darlinââ he murmurs, his voice low and sultry. âUse me to satisfy yourself.â
In the crook of your neck, you can feel how much Logan is lost in youâin your warmth, the love he feels for you, and the pleasure that pulses between you, a beautiful cycle of give and take. You feel overstimulated, but stopping now feels impossible, as everythingâthe heat of him inside you, his skin against yours, his hair tangled in your fingers, his breath hot on your neckâdrives you crazy.
With each thrust, you get closer, faster, to the edge once more. His movements quickens, each thrust more desperate, more consuming, stoking the fire between you to a near fever pitch. Itâs as if heâs lost control, chasing something unspoken, a force that drives you both to the breaking point. Every motion sends a jolt through you, a spark that ignites in sharp, dizzying bursts, each one building, spiraling higher, until it feels like you might shatter and fuse together in the same breath. The intensity crashes over you, drowning everything but him, the world narrowing to just his heat, his touch, his name on your lips.
âYou close?â you whimper, voice breathless, and he nods in the crook of your neck, breath hitching. âMe too, baby,â you reply, heart racing. âLetâs come together.â
âAs you wish, goddess,â he breathes, his panting matching the tightening tension between you. Pressing your ankles in his back, you lock your arms behind his neck as he draws you closer, his embrace grounding you both.
It doesnât take longâjust a few more deliberate, powerful thrusts, each one pushing you both closer, the pleasure cresting like a tidal wave poised to crash. You can feel him trembling against you, the last of his restraints slipping, and the anticipation is almost unbearable.
âYesâŠâ you cry out, your head tilting back as laughter bubbles up, spilling into a gasp. âYes, baby. I⊠Iâmââ
Coherent thoughts slip away as a low grunt escapes his lips, the two of you riding the wave of pleasure together. The intensity, raw and pure, consumes you, and tears prick at your eyes, spilling down your cheeks in the blissful haze.
âOh, Lo⊠I love you so much,â you blurt out, unable to contain the overwhelming emotion filling your chest.
âI love you too, darlinâ,â he replies through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse as you both come down from the height of sensation, holding each other close.
Finally, the world blurs and fades around you, leaving only warmth, your breaths mingling, and the erratic rhythm of your hearts beating as one as you rest against him. Logan cradles you, his arms enveloping you as if you were always meant to be right here, with him. The thumping of his heartbeat slowing beneath you becomes a cocoon of safety and love, a silent promise that feels like forever.
âI didnât know you were that hungry,â he finally says softly, pressing a kiss to the crown of your head as his breathing steadies. You bury your face in his chest, feeling warmth rise in your cheeks.
âSorry,â you murmur, voice barely above a breath. He chuckles, the sound like a warm embrace, wrapping around you.
âDonât be sorry, love.â He cups your cheek, turning your face toward him, his eyes a tender blend of love and understanding. âIâm here now, and Iâll always take care of you.â
Taking a deep breath, you try to gather your thoughts. âItâs just⊠itâs been a while since I felt anything close to satisfying that⊠hunger I had for you,â you admit, voice tinged with embarrassment as the words slip out. âNothing and no one ever came close.â
His lips curve into a small smile, a knowing glint in his eyes. âI get it. But you donât have to hold back anymore. Iâm yoursâfully, completely.â His thumb brushes the lingering tears from your cheek, and the sincerity in his gaze makes your heart swell.
âJust tell me what you need, and Iâll make sure you get it,â he adds, his voice low and steady, a solemn promise between you. You nod, feeling a deep sense of relief, knowing youâre safe, cherished, and free to explore every corner of this love together, without fear.

Call Me Luna
(Stray Kids x Reader)
Chapter 2
2,355 Words
A/N: Yâall have no idea how hard I fought for my life against Tumblr to post this. Hope you guys enjoy, lmk what you think!đ
âŠ
Honestly, you had never intended to sign on for a job with a big company, especially one that was just starting out with an omegan caretaker program. It was just easier to settle down with a nice rich pack where your clients already had cooks and cleaners and you mostly just had to listen to the members complain about each other and settle minor disputes. That was how the last pack you worked for operated.
But, you applied anyway. You were a fan of several of the bands and it was no big deal if they rejected you, which was pretty likely. If they only had one caretaker per band and a couple hundred truly qualified candidates, the odds werenât 100% in your favor, especially because you didnât grow up in Korea. Still, it would be an interesting story to tell people.
Even if there was a 99.99% chance they were rejecting you, it still took you some time to muster up the courage to open the email from JYPE.
When you finally managed to do so, you were sitting in your bed with your laptop in front of you. Just in case you took the news worse than you thought, you opened up a tab for how to start a new life.
Nothing bad was going to happen, you reminded yourself, the email either says yes or no, they arenât going to come beat you up if they reject you.
Sucking in a deep breath and closing your eyes, you clicked on the email. Giving yourself a few seconds to enjoy this moment before your heart broke just a little, you finally opened your eyes.
âDear Ms. L/N Y/N, we were quite impressed with your blah blah blah yada yada yadaâŠâ Glossing over all the formalities, your eyes skipped to the important part.
âAfter careful consideration, weâve decided to accept you as an omegan caretaker for one of our bands.â
Wait.
Shit.
Shit.
What?
They wanted you as the omegan caretaker of one of their bands? Choosing not to trust your eyes, you read over that sentence five more times before collapsing backwards onto your bed, exhaling harshly.
You sat back up to read the rest of the email and see if they specified which band. Maybe it was a completely made up band just for a prank or something.
âUnfortunately we are not at liberty to tell you which band you will be working with just yet, for safety and privacy reasons. You will be told your assignment once you meet with us in person.â
Shit, you thought, I guess Iâve got to pack.
âŠ
You werenât sure whether it was better or worse they didnât tell you which band you were assigned to.
For the entire duration of the flight, you were wondering which group it would be and what you knew about each one. You couldnât think of anything else and you couldnât go to sleep or anything, no matter what you tried. However, if you had known who it was, your mind would have done the same, only it would have been freaking out about certain members and what each person was like and what they needed from you.
Secondary gender dynamics were a bit of a controversial subject in the kpop industry. Some companies made their fans aware of their idolsâ classification, even some talking about it freely in interviews.
However, JYPE kept most of that information private. Of course, there were guesses made by the fans, and sometimes stalkers who tried their best to uncover their biasâ secondary gender.
You didnât want to make assumptions, but you did know that most groups had alphas as their leaders, a bit of an out-dated custom but as long as the group dynamic worked and everyone got along with each other, it was above your pay grade.
Also, something you would have to adapt to would be if you were assigned to a boy group or a girl group. The difference didnât matter much to you personally, but in the industry, there were certain things you had to consider.
After a while of all this swirling around in your mind, even some of it getting jotted down in your Notes app, you were startled from your thoughts by the pilotâs voice, telling you that you would be landing soon.
Honestly, after that, you kind of forgot the rest, it all happened so fast.
You arrived at night and found a person with a sign reading your name. You walked up and introduced yourself. They had a car and you got in.
At some point, you had tried to get out information regarding the group you had been assigned to, but apparently âonce you meet with us in personâ did not extend to your driver.
You were taken to a nice hotel that had been paid for by the company and told to rest. There would be a meeting at the company in the morning.
Just like on the plane, you knew you wouldnât be able to sleep, so you took your time getting ready.
There was a huge shower and a nice tub, so you decided, âscrew it, Iâm doing bothâ.
You washed yourself with soap that highlighted your natural omega scent and when you dried off, you lotioned everywhere.
After taking a tentative sniff of the hotel body wash, you were glad you brought your own. Evidently, all the money that the hotel got from its rich guests didnât go into shower products.
You washed your face until you had practically rubbed a layer of skin off and then spent far too long picking an outfit.
Despite the limited space in your suitcases, you finally managed to find one you deemed adequate.
Checking yourself over in the mirror, you couldnât help a little shiver of excitement.
Holy shit they want me. Me! MEEEEEEE!!!
Unfortunately, the excitement quickly turned into anxiety.
Fuck, what if they donât? What if they look at me and say âoh shit she was actually supposed to go into the ânever ever ever pileââ? Or worse. They know itâs you and theyâre expecting you to be amazing and then youâre going to somehow set the building on fire.
You flopped backwards onto the way-too-big-for-any-one-person bed and just decided to space out to some music.
While you werenât actually in the music business, it was cool that your new job had led you somewhere more . . . music-adjacent.
After listening to one or two songs and washing away your thoughts, your alarm went off, telling you it was time to go down to the lobby where another car would be waiting for you.
It was a short drive to the company and for the most part, you had managed to keep your sanity in check. However, once you saw the signs outside the building, your heartbeat skyrocketed.
Is this meeting with the managers or just the band? Maybe it will just be with managers or a special team for organizing the caretakers. Would you get to meet the other caretakers? That could be fun, getting to share tips and exchanging stories about awful clients.
That thought calmed you partially, but most of your brain was consumed with just one concern: god, I hope the band likes me.
You were ushered through the door and a pretty beta who introduced herself as Jisu took you to an elevator and up to the conference room where your meeting would take place.
They had given you a pastel yellow lanyard that said âCARETAKERâ and when you looked around the room, you could see that most of the people in the room had one as well.
After telling you to sit anywhere, Jisu left the room, presumably to greet and guide someone else.
You smiled at the people in the room, there were three other caretakers sitting at a table and two people who stood up looking down at clipboards. All of the caretakers were omegas, along with one of the clipboard people, but the other was a beta. One of the caretakers, a dark-skinned woman who looked to be just a couple years older than you, smiled back kindly and you elected to sit next to her. Her scent was like sweet wild berries.
She leaned over and whispered, âSo, first time in Korea?â You couldnât place her accent, but you wanted to hear more of it.
You turned to her and nodded. âYes, but Iâve studied the language and culture so hopefully Iâll be able to adjust quickly.â
âYes, but you can only learn so much without actually being here. Itâs very different from my home,â she mused.
About to ask her where she was from, you were interrupted by Jisu escorting another person with a yellow badge into the room. Immediately after, a beta man in a suit came in with a bunch of files and sat down in the front of the room with his hands folded in front of him.
âGreetings, I am Park Kwang-sun and I will be overseeing all of the omegan caretaker operations. Today, we will train you on what the company expects from you as well as how to deal with any problems that will arise. Mostly, we will focus on what you can do in public and on camera versus what you can do in private. We should end at around lunchtime and then, after a break, you will receive the assignments regarding which band you will be tending to.â
You could feel the air go a little sharper, with every caretaker in the room anticipating which client they will get.
Kwang-sun continued on. âAfter that, you will meet with one of the managers of that band to discuss specifics and then the cars will take you back.â
Okay. Okay, no actual meeting the band today. That was fine. That way you could study up on the members and decide the best way to interact with them.
You settled in for a couple hours of watching a slideshow, telling you mostly that you couldnât curse, reveal private information, or do anything inappropriate on camera or in public. It was a bit obvious and therefore a bit boring, but seeing a serious, professional man in a suit and perfect haircut stand with a slide behind him displaying every curse word you could think of, in English and Korean, did bring you some amusement.
Kwang-sun explained that since they were just starting out with an omegan caretaker program, along with the rest of the kpop industry, your role could be negotiated into what you felt was best for the band. If you just wanted to take care of them in private, or if you wanted to be with them 100% of the time, you could bring that up with the band and their managers and they would figure out the best way to adapt.
When it was time for break, they brought up meals from the cafeteria that were actually pretty good and you got to know a little about the other caretakers.
The dark-skinned woman was named Saira and she was born in India but studied in Paris. There was another woman, lighter-skinned but with striking purple lipstick named Millie, who was born and studied in London. The curly-haired man sitting next to Millie introduced himself as Justin, and he was from Cairo. The man who came in after you said his name was Jae and he was from Busan but studied in New York.
The company must have been serious about finding the best people for the job since these people came from all over. You felt slightly intimidated and definitely under qualified.
You were evidently the youngest there, then Justin, Millie, Saira, and finally Jae, though you and Jae were only a couple years apart.
You learned that Millie had always wanted to be a caretaker, inspired by the one that her pack had when she was young. Jae was originally planning to become a doctor and had even completed a year of pre-med, but decided to focus more on mental health. After growing up in a pack mostly made up of omegas, Saira studied pack dynamics with a focus on alphas in order to round out what she didnât know from her own experience. Justin had been a mechanic and had planned on going to law school before he signed up for a part-time caretaker initiation program with his friend and discovered his calling.
It was nice to learn about the other caretakers and their experiences, but your thoughts were mostly occupied with which group you would be assigned to.
After seemingly ages, Kwang-sun came back with five files under his arm. Checking the names, he handed one out to each of you.
Huh. It looked so plain for something that was going to change your life. Just a manila folder with your name in black, bolded ink. You looked around to your fellow caretakers. No one had looked inside their files yet, awaiting instructions to do so. However, Jae and Saira, as the oldest, seemed to be much more composed than Justin and Millie who each had wide eyes mirroring your own.
Back at the front of the room, Kwang-sun had grabbed a clipboard from one of the two others in the room, neither of them had said anything for the entire time so you really didnât know what they were here for.
Kwang-sun looked up with a smile. âNow, for what Iâm sure youâve all been waiting for. Here are your assignments: Jae you will be working with TWICE.â
A silent nod was all the acknowledgement Jae gave.
âSaira, you will be working with NMIXX.â
In response, she gave a thoughtful âhmmâ but nothing more.
âMillie, you will be working with Xdinary Heroes.â
Her jaw dropped slightly but she took a deep breath and nodded like Jae.
âJustin, you will be working with ITZY.â
He let out a sharp exhale that sounded a bit like a laugh.
âAnd Y/N, you will be working with Stray Kids.â
You felt ice and fire fighting in your veins.
What?

Hi! I saw your post asking for prompts, so here's one for you, if you'd like. âșïž
Out of all of Nevermore's traditions, Larissa disliked Staff Bonding Nights the most. She preferred to drink her wine alone in her office instead of in a loud bar, thank you very much. But thanks to the new addition to the staff, maybe this time it wouldn't be that bad of an evening...
Here you go!! Thanks for the request, I hope you enjoy!!! :)
I owe a massive thank-you to @pro-weems-places for editing this for me, it was written at 1am and required much revision.
Black and White
Warnings: NSFW, alcohol use
Word count: 3.4k+
Your laptop screen glowed a bright white in your dark bedroom, the seemingly endless stream of emails welcoming you to the Nevermore staff taking up the open tab. The most recent one caught your attention the moment you read the subject line, âStaff Bonding Night at the Weathervaneâ, written in bold black letters.Â
âThat could be fun, I suppose...â you pondered to yourself while scrolling through Netflix for something to watch.Â
Normally, you were more of an introvert, but you were determined to come out of your shell a bit in light of your new position at the school. You turned in for the night, shutting your laptop and curling up in bed with a nature documentary, unaware of what the following evening would bring.
--------
The next morning was a bit of a drag as you roamed the hallways of the school, nearly getting lost (again) as it was only your second week. It was still early, about an hour before your class was supposed to start. Rounding a corner, you almost run head-first into Larissa Weems, the stunning principal youâd hardly stopped thinking about since meeting upon your hiring. She gasped in surprise and stepped back from you, clutching her chest while she caught her breath.
âOh Principal Weems, Iâm so sorry! I didnât see you coming-â you apologized, but a quick wave of her hand dismissed your apology.Â
âItâs quite alright, Ms. Y/L/N. Are you lost? You seem a bit turned around.â You blushed at the realization that you definitely were, and nodded in confirmation to her question.Â
âWalk with me darling, Iâll show you the way from here,â Larissa offered, and you gratefully accepted. Keeping in stride and making small talk was easy with her, she was so sweet and polite. You wondered if you would see her that evening at the staff gathering.Â
âHey, will you be at the Weathervane tonight? How do those events usually go?âÂ
Larissa rolled her eyes with a sigh, âOh yes, that.. I myself am not normally in attendance, but Iâve heard they can be quite fun, according to other staff members. I much prefer my study and a glass of red personally, but to each their own.âÂ
Your heart sank a bit at her admission, but you tried not to look too defeated. âWhy donât you give it another shot? After all, Iâll be there..â you said in a mock-suggestive tone, secretly hoping she would realize you meant it in a way that wasnât entirely a joke.Â
Just as you delivered your makeshift pickup line, the two of you arrived at your classroom. You stopped at the door and leaned against it with your arms crossed, looking up at Larissa with a challenging look, âWhat do you think?âÂ
She chuckled and looked away from you - was she getting flustered? Clearing her throat, she stated, âIâll think about it. Enjoy your class this morning, Y/N.â And with that, she headed back to her office. You watched her leave for a moment and smiled to yourself, then removed the keys to your room from your pocket. If she decided to show up tonight, you would make sure she had a great time.
By 5 o-clock that evening, you found yourself rushing around to finish getting ready, hopping out of the hot shower to throw on a button-down and some slacks. Leaving a few buttons undone in hopes you would catch the principalâs attention, you put on some light makeup and headed out the door. You hoped beyond hope that Larissa had made up her mind and decided to show.Â
After a short drive down the winding road, you parked outside the cafĂ© and noticed the inside had been completely revamped to reflect a vibe similar to a nightclub of sorts; the tables had been pushed to the edges of the space or removed altogether to make room for a makeshift dance floor, and the overhead lights dimly lit the room in a variety of colors. âMaybe thisâll be more fun than I thought...â you whispered to yourself, glancing in the mirror of your sun visor to double check your makeup before leaving your car.Â
--------
Swinging the front door open, you were immediately greeted by a chorus of hellos from the handful of staff members already inside enjoying themselves, the low hum of dance music hitting your eardrums.Â
âY/N! Iâm so happy you showed up! Welcome to our little annual bonding tradition,â Ms. Thornhill exclaimed, quickly looping her arm through yours to guide you to the counter. âWould you like a drink? Thereâs a full bar and a table of snacks over in the corner, too. Youâre welcome to them!â
You smiled your thanks in return, and she patted your back before rejoining a group of teachers by the door. She seemed like the excitable type, which you werenât really into, but she made you feel included nonetheless and for that you were grateful.Â
Peeking past the counter, you spotted Coach Vlad preparing a few drinks. He handed them out, then headed your way with a grin.
âHey, fresh blood! Iâm so glad to see you! Whatâll you be having?âÂ
You thought for a moment before deciding, âJust a Jack and coke for me, Coach. Iâm glad I could make it. This place moonlights as a club for you guys, huh?â You jest, leaning on the counter, eager for something to take the edge off your remaining nerves.Â
âOh yeah, the Nevermore staff really knows how to get down,â he joked, gesturing to the dead crowd before you both, all chatting away. He handed you the drink and you took a swig. Strong stuff. You wondered where Larissa could be. Would she really decline your ever-so-convincing offer?Â
âI guess Weems doesnât really âget downâ much, does she?â You asked him. His hands were already busy with prepping another drink.Â
âNot these days. She hardly shows her face at these events. Not really her style, I gather.â He wandered to the other side of the counter to take some more orders. You took another sip and pulled out your phone, suddenly feeling out of place without someone to really talk to.Â
While you were mindlessly scrolling through your social media apps, the group of teachers suddenly went silent, quietly muttering to each other as opposed to the loud conversations they were just having. You look past them and see a flash of silver brush past one of the windows. Was that..?
The front door eased open and you swore you had never seen anyone more beautiful - in walked Larissa, adorned in a silver dress and white elbow-length gloves, her hair done up perfectly.Â
Your jaw dropped to the floor and you struggled to keep from staring. She caught your eyes roaming up her figure and strutted her way over to you, politely greeting everyone along the way. It was at that moment you realized the alcohol was starting to hit you, giving you more confidence than you normally possessed.Â
Setting your drink aside, you attempted to lean coolly on the counter behind you as she approached. âFancy meeting you here,â you teased when she reached you, her gloved hand coming to rest on the marble surface next to you, effectively trapping you beside her.
âI suppose I could say the same..â she said, her eyes openly sweeping over you, momentarily coming to rest at your slightly revealing choice of clothing before flicking away to Vlad who was still wearing a look of surprise on his face at her appearance.Â
âIâll have a red, Coach,â she said all too smoothly. Grabbing the wine bottle, he poured her drink with a nod. Her gaze turned back to you, her eyes glistening under the multicolored lights as she regarded you.Â
Leaning in, she said in a low voice, âYou sure clean up well, Ms. Y/L/N.âÂ
You were momentarily grateful for the low lighting, positive it hid the blush that quickly rose to your cheeks and shiver down your spine. But you feigned shock at her words, putting a hand to your chest as you retorted, âPrincipal Weems, are you flirting with me?âÂ
She raised an eyebrow and elegantly turned to accept her drink, looking you dead in the eye as she took a long sip. You felt a searing heat gather in your lower abdomen. God, this woman is stunning, you thought to yourself.Â
âItâs possible,â was all she said.Â
There was a sudden clap sounding from the center of the room, an attempt from Thornhill to command everyoneâs attention. âAlright everyone, partner up! Letâs get a little dancing in, shall we?â She said with a grin.Â
A collective groan passed through the room and she jogged over to you, a huge smile still plastered on her face. âWould you care to join me? Itâs your first time here, you have to give it a shot at least!âÂ
You would feel bad turning her down, so you jokingly rolled your eyes and agreed, Larissa watching your reaction the entire time. She tried to hide her amusement but she was looking forward to this. You swallow the rest of your drink and let Marilyn lead you out onto the dance floor.Â
Someone cranked the music up a little higher and you quickly found yourself swaying to the beat, the alcohol in your system doing its job. You were grateful several others ended up taking her up on the offer as well, all of you dancing together to the rhythm. You closed your eyes and lost yourself to the music for a moment, your hips working on their own to keep time with everyone else. Maybe Nevermore really did know how to get down.Â
You opened your eyes to see Larissa staring you down from her spot at the bar, her eyes raking over your body while you danced. Without thinking, you reached a hand out to her, wiggling your fingers in the air as a silent signal for her to join you. Tossing the remainder of her wine down her throat, she placed down the glass and stalked over to you, her eyes never leaving yours. She came to stand in front of you, and you boldly placed your hands on her hips. You looked up to catch her eye and confirm that this is alright with her, her only response a sly smirk and a glint of mischief in her eye.Â
She began moving her body to the beat in time with you, and you released your hold on her to raise your hands above your head, losing yourself to the music once more. She closely watched your every move, almost hypnotized, like youâd put a spell on her. You turned your back to her and threw her a glance over your shoulder. That was all the invitation she needed.Â
Placing her hands on your hips instead, she pulled you against her front for a moment, and you gasped at the contact and her forwardness. You deliberately moved your hips more seductively against her, your intentions becoming infinitely more clear. You knew you couldnât keep this up in front of your co-workers, so you turned to face her once again as the song ended, tossing your head back with a throaty laugh.Â
You looked up to find her smiling down at you, that hint of something more never leaving her glare. You crooked a finger to beckon her down to you, and she quickly leaned down to catch your whisper. âDo you wanna get out of here?â It sounded so cliche, you knew, but in that moment your arousal was almost unbearable. Straightening up again, she nodded in agreement and even in the dim light you swore you saw her cheeks redden. You bit your lip and jerked your head in the direction of the door.Â
Waving your goodbyes to everyone in attendance, you passed off the excuse to Thornhill that you were too tipsy to drive in an attempt to avoid suspicion and practically darted out the door, Larissa hot on your heels. Hopping in the passenger side of the schoolâs van, you waited while the principal buckled up and started the engine.Â
âYouâre quite the little tease, arenât you,â she said, her own voice coated in arousal. Her words shoot straight to your core. It was nothing you hadnât heard before, but it sounded so much better coming from her. Her gloved hand came to rest on your thigh during the drive back to the school, her thumb stroking the sensitive skin. You were ready to hop into her lap just as she pulled into the parking lot, and she quickly cut the engine and got out.Â
--------
Once inside, you let her lead the way back to her quarters, your eyes glued to her backside the entire walk there. She unlocked the door and ushered you inside, locking it behind you both before pressing you against it with her hips. You gasped and looked up at her, her pupils blown so wide you could practically see your reflection in them.Â
âIs this what you want?â she asked, making certain youâre on the same page before proceeding.
âGod yes,â you breathed out, hands coming to rest on her lower back.Â
She wasted no time in leaning down to capture your lips in a bruising kiss, swallowing a deep moan that rumbled from your chest. Her thigh pried your own apart, coming to rest between them and you gasped into her mouth wantonly, your hands grasping her ass.Â
âIâve wanted this from the first time I laid eyes on you,â you husked.Â
Her lips worked your neck, making your eyes roll back. âThen that makes two of us,â she whispered, pressing her thigh to your center.Â
You let out a breathy moan, your legs threatening to give out. All at once she pulled away to examine her work, her eyes burning into you and you licked your lips in anticipation.Â
âTake off your clothes and get on the bed for me.âÂ
You loved the idea of following her orders. You didn't hesitate, tugging at the buttons of your shirt hurriedly and dropping it to the floor, followed by your pants, leaving you in your matching set of black lace panties and bra. You climbed onto the bed and knelt at its edge, and Larissa turned her back to you, silently prompting you to unzip her dress.Â
You took your time in doing so, kissing down her back in the zipperâs wake. You eased the garment off her shoulders and she removed her gloves, tossing them onto a nearby chair. She turned to you to reveal her choice of lingerie; a cream-colored set that complimented her skin tone perfectly. You felt your mouth water at the sight.Â
Sitting up on your knees put you at her height at last, and you pulled her into another kiss, this time softer. You passed your tongue over her bottom lip and she granted you entry immediately, a small whimper escaping her throat. You allowed your fingers to tangle themselves in her perfectly pinned-up hair, her own exploring over your body. You arched into her when her fingers found your nipples through your bra, her lips quirking into a playful grin at your reaction.Â
âSomeoneâs eager..â she teased, pinching them experimentally, earning her a gasp from you.
âLay down for me,â you whispered against her lips.Â
With a chuckle she obliged, lowering herself beside you. You quickly took your place between her thighs, placing open-mouthed kisses from her knee up to her inner thighs. Your fingers danced over her core through the fabric, and she shuddered at the contact, spreading her legs further for you.Â
âSomeoneâs eager,â you teased, throwing her own words back at her.Â
Larissa covered her face with a giggle, but it quickly turned into a gasp as you finally made contact with her center through her underwear. The heat of your mouth drove her mad with need, and she tugged the offending article off, revealing just how aroused she was for you. A low growl left your chest at the sight and you dove in without a second thought.Â
Flattening your tongue against her clit, you finally got a taste of her, and it was well worth the wait. Her sweetness coated your tongue as you devoured her, and you glanced up to watch her writhe beneath your touch. Her back arching as her hands grabbed for anything that would ground her, eventually landing in your hair. Her whimpers were heavenly, you could listen to them all night long. And you planned to.Â
Just as her breaths started to quicken, you circled two fingers over her entrance, before easing them into her. She let out a high-pitched moan, and you moaned against her in response, her sounds and the tugging of your hair spurring you on. You began pumping and curling them inside her in time with the strokes of your tongue, and you could tell she was already getting close by the way her walls were tightening around you.Â
âAre you gonna come for me baby?â you coaxed, your fingers brushing that sweet spot inside her that drove her wild.Â
âY-yes, Iâm- fuck-âÂ
You could get used to hearing this woman curse. Especially if you were the cause. With a few more gasps and breathy moans, she reached her release, flooding your fingers and mouth with her intense taste. You helped her down from her high before removing your fingers carefully, climbing up beside her and flopping onto your back to catch your breath.Â
After a few minutes Larissa wordlessly straddled your waist, lowering her lips to yours to taste herself on your tongue. Whining against her, you squeezed your thighs together for some much-needed friction and she chuckled against your lips.Â
âOh donât worry, Iâm not done with you yet,â she teased, her fingers trailing up your thigh.Â
With practiced skill she pulled your panties aside, quickly finding your clit and circling it with featherlight touches. You gasped and bit your lip, the coil inside you already wound tightly. She kissed up your torso, her soft lips finding your hardened nipple through your bra with ease. You leaned up on your elbows and removed it for her, the movements of those damned fingers making it a nearly impossible feat.Â
She caught the sensitive peak of skin in her teeth before you could lay down again, causing your head to fall back in pleasure, a desperate whimper leaving you. Her tongue circled it in the same pattern as her fingers below and you felt entranced by her touch. You cupped her cheek, encouraging her to meet your heated gaze.
âI need you,â you all but begged, your cheeks turning pink at the nature of your words.Â
âThatâs all I needed to hear, darling.âÂ
Her words in such a low tone nearly drove you over the edge, but as she pressed her fingers into you, it took everything in your power to keep from crying out. A pathetic whine still managed to leave your throat despite your efforts.Â
Her digits filled you up in the most delicious way and she knew it. She pumped them slowly, finding the same spot in you as you did in her, massaging it as you fell back onto the mattress. You knew it wouldnât take you long to finish at this rate, but the sudden ascent toward your orgasm took you by surprise.Â
âLarissa.. so.. so close,â you whimpered, your eyes squeezing shut in an attempt to stave it off a bit longer.Â
Your hands gripped her shoulders, nails digging in. Your vision gained a few black spots when you opened your eyes again, only to find Larissaâs lustful stare looking back.
âItâs alright dear, I want you to come.âÂ
Her words sounded delectable in your ear when she whispered them to you, and you couldnât help yourself when you came undone on her fingers, a moaning mess beneath her. You moved to cover your mouth but her hand caught your wrist, pinning it above you. She wanted to hear you, so you let her.Â
Once your pulsing around her slowed, she pulled her fingers from you and looked deep into your eyes as she sucked them clean, groaning at your taste. A smirk played on her features, proud of her handiwork as she regarded your now disheveled demeanor.
âPerhaps Iâll make a habit of going to Staff Bonding Nights.âÂ
You both burst out in laughter before settling into a comfortable silence, soon after falling into a deep sleep, wrapped up in each other. Â

Chenford Fanfic Teaser: Sequel to That's What Partners are For
The Rookie Fanfiction | Chenford | Rated E | Intentional Seduction | Undressing
Remember when I wrote a Chenford fic inspired by this moment from Bones?
đž @romanticallyterrible [original post here]
Well, the sequel is inspired by this moment from Psych.
đž @onscreenkisses [original post here]
I started writing the sequel right after I finished the first installment. It's been kicking around in my drafts, and I occasionally shake off the dust and work on it. I've made quite a bit of progress this time, and wanted to share a little bit of what I've been working on.
Here are a couple of short excerpts from the first half of the story.
Title TBA (Rated E) After the bomber is caught, Lucy and Tim give into their temptations. Tim decides it's his turn to undress Lucy.
... But every signal he had been getting from Lucy, combined with a gut feeling that grew stronger by the moment, told himâscreamed at himâthat she wanted him, too.Â
Here goes nothing.
Tim leaned a hip on the bar, facing Lucy. Close, but just out of reach. While they waited for a bartender to notice them, Tim lowered his lips to Lucyâs ear so he could be heard over the music. âDo you trust me to order for you?â he asked. âI think Iâve got a good idea of what you like.â
She wouldnât have expected for such simple words to have such an effect on her. But something about the way Tim said those words filled Lucyâs head with ideas that she had tried to abandon after she walked out of the menâs locker room yesterday afternoon, evidence bags in hand.
Tim had pulled away from her ear, but lingered nearby, not having returned to his full height. Lucy looked up at him slowly. âYes,â she said. âI trust you.â
âTwo glasses of San Matias Cristal, dressed, please,â Tim told the bartender as he handed over his credit card.
âOpening up a tab?â the bartender asked.
âNo, Iâll close it out,â he told them. He didnât plan to be at the bar for very long if things went the way he had hoped.
âTequila?â Lucy asked him, surprised. âI donât know if Iâve ever seen you drink tequila.â
The heat building inside of Lucyâs body felt like no match for the look in Timâs eyes when he said, âI wanted to try something new tonight.â
...
âCheers.â
Their glasses clinked together and Timâs eyes followed Lucyâs movements as her tongue peeked out to swipe a taste of salt from the rim of her glass before she took a sip. She closed her eyes as she savored the smooth taste of the tequila Tim ordered for her before letting the icy liquor slide down her throat.
Tim took a drink from his own glass, all the while keeping his eyes on her as she lifted the lime garnish to her lips and sucked its juice.
He was overcome with his need to touch her.
His fingers reached for her face and his thumb skimmed across the tip of her nose.
Tim leaned in, his lips next to her ear. âSalt,â he explained, his voice rumbling.
âOh,â she said breathlessly.
As his lips pulled away, Lucy could feel the warmth of Timâs breath coasting over her cheek. But Lucy couldnât tell if the movement bringing their faces closer together came solely from Tim, or if she herself was drifting closer. Their noses now brushing up against each other, Lucy could sense that their lips were just a hairâs breadth apart.
She looked up at him through her lashes. âWhat are you doing, Tim?â
âThis? Itâs just⊠very close talking.â
Lucy shifted in her seat to bring their conversation (and their lips) even⊠closer. âMmm, I see,â she said, enjoying the vibration that was created between their bodies.
âAnd what do you feel like talking about?â she asked, briefly closing her eyes, then opening them to make sure it wasnât all a dream.
Tim placed his fingers on top of her wrist so lightly, it felt like a whisper.
âYou.â
Yes folks, Tim does indeed try something new that night. đ
The sequel is rated E, so instead of posting a second chapter of the T-rated That's What Partners are For, it will be part of a series.
The series is tentatively titled Take It Off and can be found here on AO3 so you can subscribe for updates.

I have a one-shot idea for larissa (depends if the other person could be laurel or someone else) like a simple fluff fic about coffee dates at the weathervane or train rides together hehe
4 Train Rides and Coffee Dates I Said Nothing, And The 1 Time I Did
Characters: Larissa Weems x writer!reader
Synopsis: Kinda what the title says. Just fluffy. A bit of an AU, set in the past. Larissa is just beginning to work at Nevermore as a teacher.Â
Authors Note: Sorry anon. You asked me to post this a while ago but the ideas were still banging around my skull. Also we are pretending the train goes to Jericho cause its my world and ur livin in it.
You had been taking the train to Jericho everyday for about 6 months now. You were working on your next big novel, well what you hoped would be your next big novel. Each day you would take the train and then go sit in your favorite coffee shop for a few hours to clack away on your keyboard. The train rides were marvelous, starting near the coast and ending through the woods. Thatâs where you found your inspiration. Well, that, and one other thing. Her. You didnât know her name, but she was becoming the main heroine of your plotline. Tall and beautiful. She just sat down at your table on the train and never stopped coming back.
1. The First Time
You had your computer out in front of you, but you hadnât written anything. Words alluded you this morning, but you weren't going to force it. You leaned your head back against the seat and began enjoying the forest passing by. From all the train rides before, you knew you were pulling into the Burlington station.Â
Only one more stop to Jericho. You close your eyes and take a deep breath, trying to focus on the plot line of your story, but your focus broke when someone sat down at your table sitting kitty corner from you. You couldnât help but glance to your new tablemate.Â
You wondered if she might be a gorgon without the snakes. You might as well have been turned to stone because you couldnât move once you looked at her. Could she be a Greek statue come to life? Was that a thing? Once she caught you staring, you shook yourself out of the trance, staring back down at your keyboard. Sneaking glances in which she would catch you every time, causing her to smile.Â
The ride to Jericho wasnât long enough.
She wasted no time getting off the train, but you did notice her take a last glance at you when she walked from the station. You smiled to yourself, hoping you had made an impression on her as well.Â
At the Weathervane, the line was long once you reached the front and much to your pleasant surprise, the statuesque goddess came in. Before the barista rang you up, you leaned in close, âHey, I want to pay for the woman who just walked in.â
The barista nodded as you pay a bit extra and tell them to keep anything leftover as a tip, âDonât say anything though. I donât want her knowing it was me.â
Finally you sat down, pulling out your laptop. You opened your tabs and documents, getting everything right before your name was called. You grab your coffee, sneaking a glance at the white-blonde haired woman who was already looking at you.Â
You began writing, ignoring when she went up to order so she wouldnât suspect you. She stood by your table as she waited for the coffee, not speaking to you or looking at you. You were busy typing out her description, Statuesque with ruby red lips. Her eyes held an intensity and you had to find out what was the passion behind them. Her legs-
âLarissa.â The barista called and the woman near you moved to get her coffee. So that was her name? Larissa.
2. The Second Time
Just like every other day, you sat looking out the window, imagining your new main character in a scene, but quickly it faded to your own personal daydream. She towered over her love interest, her hand coming up to rest on your cheek. You turned your head, pressing your lips to her palm. She smiled fondly down at you. You saw her leaning down, her eyes glancing at your lips.
Your focus was broken when she sat across from you. A scarf wrapped around her head to protect her hair from the wind today. During the train ride, you fake many things to be able to life your head from your laptop to steal a glance. Your face turned red the couple times she caught you, but she only gave you a small smile.Â
Once at the Weathervane, you purchased a coffee for you and one for her. She was standing a few people back in line with someone today, another woman. The companion seemed to be pointing things out, possibly giving a tour.Â
Much as the routine goes, you sit, pull open everything you need on the computer, name gets called, and you sit back down to focus on your writing. How could you focus, however, when Larissa was so close by. You only saw your muse once a day, you probably shouldnât waste it.
You take the time to look at her outfit today. You were seeing a trend, neutral colors and shades of white. It emphasized how fair her skin was. You thought it brought more intensity to her beautiful eyes and lips.Â
You notice Larissa glance around the shop when the barista tells her that her coffee is once again paid for. You smile to yourself, loving how she had no clue the crush you had on her.Â
When she and her companion were called to get their coffees, you stole a final glance. She was already looking. She flashed a smile at you. Did she know it was you buying her coffee?
3. The Third Time
Today you had headphones on. It felt like a classical music kind of morning, trying to suck some inspiration from Claude Debussy. Larissa sat down with you again when you reached Burlington, but what you didnât know is that she tried talking to you this time.Â
âWhat are you writing?â Her voice was soft, nervous to even be speaking to you, but when she received no answer, her face was hot with embarrassment. She scolded herself internally, she should have known better than to talk with someone with headphones on.Â
The train ride continues. You steal the momentary glace. Typing out the ways to describe her nose, her jaw, and her hair. She saw you looking at her, so she held her gaze at you, wanting to let you know she saw you staring.Â
She gently shook her head at you, giving a partial smirk, almost like she was teasing you for staring.Â
The routine at the Weathervane came and went, only when Larissa waited for her order, she sat at your table. You thought you were having a minor panic attack. You stayed completely still not typing a word. She was looking around the room, stopping to look at you a couple times. Was she teasing you?
When her name was called, she stood up with a smile. She had to have known it was you buying her coffees.Â
You watched her leave the coffee shop, When she was outside, you watched her out the window. She chose to walk past the window on the other side of your booth, flashing you a smile as she walked past.Â
4. The Fourth Time
This train ride was fuller than usual. You heard through local gossip that it was the nearby schoolâs parents weekend. When Larissaâs stop came, you wanted to scream at the parents across from you to move out of the way. That that spot was her unofficial-official spot.Â
You didnât hide the fact that you were looking for her at the Burlington stop. Just to catch her eye. You wanted to know if she was there and wanted her to know you were there.Â
You spotted her, unable to stop a smile from spreading on your face. You seemed to catch her eye too. She waved at you with a gloved hand from the other side of the train, causing your heart to flutter.
At the Weathervane, you were feeling a little cheeky. You ordered her coffee and put it at the spot across from you. When she came in, you leaned your head from the booth trying to catch her eye. She had already been searching the room for you though. You nod down to the table indicating for her to come over.Â
When she approached, you took the time to appreciate how truly tall she was. She looked from you to the coffee and back to you again, âFor me?â
You nod with an embarrassed smile.
âIâm running late. Letâs chat tomorrow.âÂ
You nod once again, words seemed to be caught in your throat. You opened your mouth to speak, but nothing came out.Â
Larissa only smiled down at you, seeming to enjoy how flustered you were. She gave a wink, âItâs a date then!â
You could have melted into a puddle then and there.Â
5. The Final Time
âWhat are you writing?âÂ
Today your typing on the train had been furious. It was actually nervous typing. You knew today was the day to actually speak to her. Larissa was sitting across from you. You were so entranced in your work that you hadnât noticed her intently watching you after she sat down.
âI-â You glance up from your work. She has her chin resting in her hand as she inquisitively looks at you, âIâm working on a novel... What brings you on the train?â
This generated a conversation that had you leave your laptop in the dust. You listened to her speak about her new job at Nevermore. She loved the kids and thought she thought she would want to take on a leadership role at the school when she had enough experience. You began sharing minor details about past books, but you chose to omit details about this book, not wanting to share the main characters similarities to Larissa.Â
You both walked and talked all the way to the Weathervane. Turns out, you were very compatible. You liked the same books and movies. You spoke similarly about the issues plaguing mankind. Conversation flowed so freely once she finally broke that barrier.Â
At the coffeeshop, the barista rang you up for two coffees as usual and Larissa smirked at you, âSo it has been you buying these coffees? I had a sneaking suspicion...â
âTurns out Iâm not too good at keeping my feelings a secret.â She takes the space across from you in the booth and you begin to take out your computer, setting it to the side.Â
âYour feelings? Does someone have a bit of a crush?â Larissaâs confidence was soaring as she took the opportunity to tease you.
The level of comfort you felt with her was spurning on your flirtation as well, âPerhaps I do...â
The sound of your names being called interrupts you. She slides from the booth, holding up a hand, âI got it.âÂ
You turn your attention back to your laptop, pulling open your tabs, just like you do every morning. When Larissa returns, she doesnât sit across from you, just rather she slides in next to you, âWhat are you working on? Be honest this time.âÂ
Her arm moves behind you as she shifts her body to face you, wanting the full scoop on this book you had been working so diligently on whenever she was around.
âOh, itâs nothing much.â
âIt doesnât seem like nothing much.â She glanced down at the 170 page word count, then she lifted her eyes to read the words on the screen. She was skimming, but she thought she had enough information to go off of. Red lips. White-blonde hair. Pin-up girl. âDo I get royalties off this too?â
Her joke caused you to laugh, âIt was hard not to- Well you are just so-â
You were fumbling. How do you tell her that she is the most beautiful woman you had ever seen? Well, turns out you didnât have to. Your writing did the talking or you.
âShe was the most beautiful being I had laid eyes on. Her beauty was ethereal?â As she read your words aloud, she almost felt embarrassed that someone felt that way about her.Â
âYes.â You looked intently at her, earning yourself a smirk as she shifted her jaw back and forth, almost like she wanted to challenge you. Instead, she leaned forward to place a kiss on the corner of your mouth, leaving the most lovely of lipstick stains.Â
âI have work,â She stood, not ready to hear more compliments today. Turns out she didnât believe herself to be the ethereal goddess you saw her as. She took her coffee, and kept speaking to you as she walked backwards towards the door, âI will see you tomorrow.â

Melina Vostokoff
Posted on AO3 too
To @hereforalltheblackhilli for getting this out of my head...
Maria spends her down time going through files. Despite defeating Thanos, crises never stop coming. She's long overdue for a vacation, but the closest she'll come is a decent night's sleep. It's been a while since she's had one of those too.
Nick is someone she considered a friend. She's not sure what his official role is these days, but she knows he's not taking a vacation either. That's what she tells herself every time her calls go to voicemail.
With a sigh, she sits back and looks over at Natasha, who is fast asleep next to her. Her gaze falls onto the old photo that Natasha carries with her. Natasha has always traveled light, but they had received two photos in their post office box. One from an unknown sender and the other from Clint.
The first is an old family photo. Natasha's family, her Red Room family, but still family. Maria smiles softly at little Natasha with blue hair and her arms around her little sister, Yelena.
The second is a photo of Yelena standing next to Kate Bishop. A new young archer. Maria grins, remembering Clint's email about how he had his hands full with her. Maybe he has a better idea of all the trouble he'd given her and Coulson in the early days.
Her eyes fall back on to the first photograph. There's something familiar there. She has the files open because with every new threat she needs all the help she can get and hopes to find someone with a connection or experience. More often than not, she comes up dry and has to figure it out as she goes. One more thing she has to handle in addition to everything else. She remembers a time when she'd been on the helicarrier and missed being in the field. She'd like to take that back now. It not as easy now, not with how many times she's had to testify before some committee. Her face isn't unknown anymore.
She finds herself flipping through Clint's old files. She curses as the images fly past, stupid Stark and always needing an interactive interface. She misses him and his teasing. That's when she comes across it. That familiar face.
After Natasha was brought in by Clint and started working for them, Maria had things shifted. Natasha had proven her loyalty to SHIELD, but it didn't mean Red Room operatives wouldn't come out of the wood work seeking their revenge. Red Room was all some of them had ever had, having it seemingly destroyed wouldn't sit well so she took measures to keep Natasha safe. Leaning back, she shakes Natasha's leg to get her attention.
"Hmm?"
"When you started working with Clint as partners for good, I had our operations station moved."
"Looking out for me even then?" says Natasha in that voice that always gets to her as her arms go around her neck and leaning against her back.
"I had Clint go through a number of hoops before you two went out again."
"I remember that. Endless medical visits and enough stuff taken from me to make a clone. Why are you bringing this up?"
"Because it looks like Melina kept tabs on you. Made sure you were in good hands with SHIELD." Tapping on an image, she loads an employee's ID photo. Dr Marta Shearing. She can feel Natasha leaning in closer when she switches to another one. She feels her taking a shuddering breath.
"Mama Melina..." she hears Nat murmur.
Clearly the scientist infiltrated SHIELD as a doctor and could have interfered with numerous things, and that's with HYDRA already secretly among them, but that's for another day. Right now, she's letting Natasha know the woman she'd seen as her mom had never forgotten about her. It warms her own heart too, knowing that there are others who cared about her, loved her even, and didn't just use her. With a swipe of her finger she sends it to Natasha's private files.
"Do you know where she is now?" asks Nat.
"A general idea, but I can find out more."
"Not now. Let's sleep for now." That sounds like a good idea. Pushing her tablet aside, she lets Natasha curl into her.
"I love you Nat."
"Love you too, Maria."

Super Nova
Larissa Weems X OC
A.N. hello all. if this seems familiar to you it's because... I've already posted it. With that said I realized I am Horrendous at formatting and decided to repost with some alterations. a HUGE shoutout to the council for helping me get my shit together, especially @bri-sonat for helping fic my truly wretched formatting. the next few chapters will be posted soon as I write some new ones as well.
The wind howled as you looked out the window of the train. Trees passing by in flashes as you made your way through towns, each one smaller and more spread apart, until there was nothing but the forest and the rain dripping down the windows to keep your eyes fixed on.
You can feel the chill of the weather as you rest your gloved hand on the window, not quite knowing what to expect. Finally, you see lights as the train pulls up to a town. As you look away from the pouring rain, you realize that everyone else had departed the train many stops ago.
After all, who would want to travel to a town like Jericho.
Though you suppose it wasn't Jericho itself that they avoided but rather what was just beyond it, Nevermore, your destination. The school had quite a reputation amongst the residents, almost serving as a horror story, an urban myth.
You quickly made your way up from your seat and gathered your belongings, not that you had many to grab, as the stewardess waited by the door of the train. With a small nod in her direction, you square your shoulders and step out into the world once again.
You quickly feel the rain soaking through your many layers as you dart under the cover of an awning, dragging your trunk behind you as you huddle over your tote bag, attempting to protect the few notebooks you carry.Â
You look around as the train pulls away, desperately hoping that you will be able to spot your ride to your new home. As the lights from the train disappear into the distance, youâre left shivering on the cobbled road, lit only by a few meager street lamps. As the minutes pass and the cold sinks further into your bones, you finally decide you can't wait anymore out in this weather.
You shift your bag further up on your arm as your breath fogs up before your face. The second you step out into the storm again you regret it, but within minutes your steps have led you to the one building that seemed to still be open. As the wind blows the door shut behind you, you look around and realize you're in a small coffee shop, the Weathervane, according to the sign above the counter.
You quickly leave your trunk by an empty table before heading up to the counter where a young boy is watching with wary but amused eyes. âHiâŠâ You murmur, your voice horse from disuse, âcould I just get a hot chocolate with oat milk?â you ask, with a slightly clearer voice.
âOf course, what's the name?â He queries with a small smile.
âAdelaide.â You respond before turning around, the bell of the door behind you ringing, the noise drawing your attention. Standing there silhouetted by the glowing lights of the street was the most striking woman you had ever seen.
âMiss Florence, there you are my dear!â She exclaimed as she walked towards the counter. Somehow despite the stormy weather, she looked absolutely perfect, not a single hair out of place regardless of the howling wind and rain that had quickly turned your long curls into a stringy mess.Â
As she approached the counter, you found yourself tilting your head farther and farther back, and when she finally stopped next to you, you realized how ridiculous you must look peering up at her like a drowned rat. You quickly looked down with a blush.
âHello Tyler, a hot chocolate please, and would you be so kind as to put Miss Florence's drink on my tab as well?â She states with a glimmering smile at the barista.
âOh no, you really don't have to do that!â You state, looking up quickly at the woman whose name you still don't know.
âNonsense! Consider it a welcoming gift and an apology for my tardiness. Unfortunately, our normal driver fell sick due to the weather, so I had to finish up an appointment before coming down.â She stated warmly as she handed over some cash for the drinks before heading over to the table with your trunk. âIâm Larissa Weems, Headmistress of Nevermore Academy, my dear.â She smiled at you as you glanced up at her.
In the light of the coffee shop you can't help but stare at her beauty, clear blue eyes surrounded by delicate long lashes, a bright red lip captured in a gleaming smile, she was like an angel come to life.
You let out a shiver as her eyes pierced yours. Seeing this her smile faded into a frown, creasing her forehead as she looked down at you. âMy dear, you must be freezing, you're absolutely soaked!â She says as she reaches toward you.
âNo!â You shouted, quickly scooting out of the bench away from her as you trip over your trunk in panic. She lets out a gasp at your desperation as you shake on the ground, refusing to look into her eyes in shame.
âI was just going to remove your coat, dear, itâs soaked throughâŠâ She murmurs comfortingly with her hands clasped in front of her for you to see clearly. You feel your cheeks turn pink with shame as you slowly climb up from the ground, ignoring the looks from the few other patrons.
âI can't do⊠touch.â You state as you wring your gloved hands together, âI apologize, it would not be pleasant for either of us.â You continue, wrapping yourself further in your layers as you look down at your feet.
âThat is quite alright, my dear, I apologize for disturbing you.â Her voice was gentle, a touch of worry in her tone.
âAdelaide, Headmistress, here you go.â You hear as two to-go cups are placed next to you on the table. You quickly step back from the barista, once again kicking your trunk but managing to stay upright this time as you let out a tight smile.
Clearing her throat, the headmistress quickly stands with a slightly strained smile on her face. âLet's get you to your new home!â She says with joy, grabbing her hot chocolate with one hand and your trunk in the other.
âYes, let'sâŠâ You murmur, grabbing your own drink and following behind the statuesque woman.

Winds of Change
Chapter 5: Something in the Air
Shuuji knows something is amiss when he catches Syakomon let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief. Heâs lucky that the viscous surface of Syakomonâs slimy green body betrays herâthe quiver of the otherwise silent exhale sends a faint, wobbly shockwave across her skin, and she jiggles ever so slightly in her shell, as though somebodyâs just set down a cautious bowl of lime-flavored jello.
Supposedly, the worst is over, but Shuuji can't shake the feeling that there's something the Kemonogami aren't telling him.
ao3 link in source , extended end-of-chapter author's notes under the cut!
oh BOY the editing situation was a doozy. granted, i was also busy with work, but even then this chapter needed a TON of reworking, much much more than chapter 4 did. like i said on ao3, it got to the point where this chapter was so long that i had to split it in two.
i also mentioned that this chapter marks the beginning of the second half of this fic. chapters 1-4 make up part one, which i'd summarize as "how did we get here?", and then from 5-8, the focus will be "what happens next?". it helped a LOT to recontextualize chapters 5-7 (now 5-8) as an answer to chapters 1-4, and i think it'll make editing easier going forward; i have much more direction now and a better idea of what needs to be expanded on and what needs to be cut.
unfortunately, like i said, i had to omit a lot of saki-centric stuff. she is the scariest character for me to write, and i think i need to progress more thru my replay of truthful before i feel confident enough to write from her perspective. it works out anyway, because the part i cut had shuuji taking a very passive role and just observing interactions between saki and floramon, and it felt very drawn-out and unnecessary. this is my favorite cut segment tho
im really hoping to be able to figure out what an aoi-miu-saki dynamic looks like as i get more comfortable writing the three of them. i think it could be really fun. also i think it would be so funny if miu and saki bring out a mischievous side of aoi that would otherwise not exist. much to think about.
anyway. another challenge i had with editing this chapter was the topography of the beach area the group hangs out at before moving on to the shopping district and apartment complex. for some reason i was convinced the rocky beach area was like.. up on a cliffside? but then i looked at the map and got REAL confused. the beach is super super narrow, and that was really inconvenient when i needed shuuji to be somewhere relatively out of the way, where he could have a conversation with agumon that takuma cannot hear, while still being able to see takuma. so thats why i spent an hour and change squinting at the tiniest png of the map and reorganizing where people spend their time
if my handwriting is illegible (from left to right) (oh my god now that ive added the image to the post its a nightmare. idk why im even posting it. lord. im not sure opening it in a new tab will help) factory residential area shopping district woods near shopping district minoru up here group rests here waterway exit from shaft here instead; rest of waterway rock w/ supplies hill down from the waterway shuuji rests here pt 6 argument happens here aoi & ryo here in ch4 (this is where they were keeping watch) miyuki here
i didnt make many changes; mostly i just moved people around. the one thing that i DID change though was the placement of the waterway entrance. i have NO IDEA why the game has it in the middle of the fucking ocean. like i know theres a tunnel there, but surely the entrance to that tunnel isn't underwater right? i then poured another hour and change learning about waterways, trying to figure out where it made the most sense to put the exit before remembering that it doesn't matter because the digital world doesn't play by human world rules. oops! it was still super interesting though! please look up 'tokyo g-cans' if you ever get the chance, its fucking fascinating. if i ever go back to japan id like to go down there, maybe.
obligatory commentary about the map:
oh my god it seems too big for what we actually see but im not a cartographer so i dont know for sure
the shopping district/apartment complex is visible from the beach but i feel like it shouldn't be: on the map it looks like it's on a cliff face while from the beach it looks like it's shore level
i've been reading half the green patches as dense tree cover but now that i think about it, that might just be open grassland. oops. it's all trees now.
i wish we could go to the sandy beach areas to the north and east ends of the island!!! that could've been fun!
i really appreciate that the second island is shaped vaguely like a beluga
in other news, agumon was much easier to write than i was worried he would be, and it was nice to work out how he felt about what happened in the waterway. one thing ive noticed about agumon on a second truthful run is that he and takuma are equally awful about pushing down their own feelings for the sake of the ones of their friends. a lot of the others seem to view agumon as the guy who is always Staying Silly , no thoughts head empty. while i DO think that that's a genuine part of his personality, i think it also happens sometimes that he uses that image to downplay his concerns.
my favorite part to write this chapter was labramon's dialogue at the end. and also baby stats. baby stats was the ONE THING i REFUSED to cut. non-negotiable. it's been in my notes since the beginning and digimon survived all edits of this chapter, and i was DETERMINED to keep it.
all right im getting sleepy and i want to post this chapter and then go to bed. as usual please dont be afraid to leave a comment, i looooove finding out people's favorite parts, and im still curious about your Gamer Theories, especially now that i think what i'm foreshadowing is becoming clearer and clearer >:3c
couldn't tell you for sure when ch6 will be out. ideally it won't involve as much editing as ch5, but it's hard to say. thank you for reading, and i'll be back as soon as i can!

Pairing: ceo!Baekhyun x Reader Genre: CEO AU Rating: G Summary: You donât know the first thing about running a business, so you enlist the help of an investor to help you save it. Word Count: 1.3k I can explain Warnings: mentions a deceased parent
Inspired by this post. This is actually part of a larger work Iâve been sitting on titled Gossip Man. Iâve wanted to write something in the style of Kdramas (tropes and all). Depending on the reception, Iâll release it next year or so.
You fidgeted with your clothes, running your trembling hands down the front of your soft cotton t-shirt. Were you dressed too casually? Should you have picked out your job interview ensemble? The email hadn't given you any clue one way or another. You hoped it didn't matter â everything you had depended on this consultation. If it ended badly because youâd chosen denim slacks over the black pencil skirt, youâd seriously consider jumping from the nearest bridge. âCalm down, girl. Get it together.â You inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly through your nose, summoning calm and control of your nerves.
You needed this consultation like you needed air. The old bookstore had meant the world to your mother, and you would do everything in your power to keep it open and operational. Okay, so maybe you didn't know jack shit about running a business. It was also possible that you used a little over half of your inheritance from your mother's life insurance policy to buy the bookstore from the lovely old couple who had put it up for sale. Just as it was more than likely that you would have to use the rest of your savings â all of it â to make the necessary repairs and update the place to be able to compete with other bookstores in the area that offered new modern services like online sales and ebooks. That's why this meeting was so life threatening. If the best investing company Seoul had to offer didn't see a way to save the store, all of your attempts to save it would have been in vain and would leave you in debt. Worst of all, you would lose the one thing your mother treasured and hoped that her grandchildren would be able to visit in the future. You wanted to keep the bookstore open as your way of honoring the woman who brought joy to so many others.
The front door opened smoothly, setting off a high chime of the wind catcher that hung near the door. This is it. You took another deep breath and turned around. A tall, slender man stood there with his hands in his pockets, eyes taking in his surroundings. He looked so out of place, all dressed up as if he were going to a cocktail party or some red carpet affair. He made the dusty, run down store look worse just by existing. As if he could hear your thoughts, his eyes fell on you expectantly, lips curved into a gentle smile. âMs. Davids, I suppose?â
He extended his hand, but didnât budge from his spot. Your jaw moved as you tried to find the voice to speak, to answer his question, but your brain had shorted out for a second. âY-yes. Thatâs me. Call me _____, please.â You moved around the counter and took his hand, not too surprised by the strength in his grip. Of course, heâs strong. He probably can afford a gym trainer if his suit was anything to judge by. âI was under the impression the agency was sending over a woman, Mrs. Howard?â
Mr. Suitâs eyes were fixed on you now. âShe was supposed to come, but I found myself with an open schedule this morning and decided to take the consult. Sheâs due to have her baby soon, so I thought sheâd like to rest her feet.â He glanced at the store, then returned that piercing gaze to you. âBesides that, Iâve been keeping tabs on this shopping center.â
âY-you have?â You swallowed hard and fought to stand your ground. It felt like he was crowding you, even though he was standing a bit more than an armâs length away. His presence was soâŠoverwhelming.
He nodded and took a step away from you, examining one of the bookshelves that stood near the register. âOf course. Real estate is one of my areas of expertise. The shopping center has always been a hot commodity since the university opened up. Personally, Iâm impressed the owners of the various stores have been able to keep the corporate companies at bay.â
You fought to keep up your friendly smile. âWeâre a family here. We help each other out. Selling out to those hounds wouldnât help anybody.â
âTrue.â He mused, slipping a book off of a shelf and thumbing through its pages. âBut then again, business has been down since the bidding war began, right? What happened to the couple who owned this store before you? The Choiâs?â
You looked down at the ground between you, fidgeting with the hem of your shirt. âTheir health isnât the best right now. With the cost of health care, they couldnât afford to keep the store open. I bought it from them to keep it open and away from the bidding war.â
âI see. Smart decision, seeking help from an investment firm. My name is Byun Baekhyun, by the way.â He nodded his head towards you, stuffing his hands back into his pockets as he leisurely made his way through the store. You followed behind him, keeping your distance while wringing your hands with worry. He didnât say much, occasionally asking questions about things he spotted, like holes in the ceiling, cracks in the wall. He even noticed things you hadnât seen before or thought to look at. It was clear that an inspector would have to come out and thoroughly check the building out. By the time youâd reached the back of the store, the look on his face wasnât promising. âLetâs sit down and talk about this, shall we?â
Baekhyun extended a hand to allow you to pass by him. As you did, his hand lightly touched the small of your back as he guided you back to the register and prompted you to sit down on the stool behind the counter. He stood in front of you on the other side, resting his elbows on the counter and clasping his hands together.
âItâs bad, isnât it?â You asked.
He exhaled hard and nodded. âYeah, it is. Iâll be honest with you, _____. I donât see how this place has been operational. There are a number of issues I can see, so thereâs no telling how much more will be uncovered with a proper inspection.â
âI have money saved up. Iâm willing to do whatever is necessary to save this place.â You leaned forward and looked him in the eye. âPlease, this place means the world to me.â
He held your gaze for what seemed like forever until he stood up straight. âIâll arrange for the inspector to come and assess the property. If the repairs needed are reasonable, Iâll have someone set up an appointment with you to get things going.â He looked around the store. âI canât guarantee that things will go your way, though.â
You nodded, biting your bottom lip. âI understand.â
Baekhyun studied you a moment longer, then took a step forward and placed a hand on your shoulder. âThis place has a lot of charm to it and itâs in a great location. Donât lose hope just yet, okay?â
You looked into his eyes and were startled by the gentleness you found in them. Youâd come across a slew of men in suits with kind smiles, offering to pay top dollar for the property if you and the other store owners agreed to sell. Baekhyunâs smile was the first genuine smile youâd seen in a while. You werenât sure if you should trust him, but it wasnât like you had much of a choice. âOkay.â

July 16th, 2016
I would like to thank all of my loyal readers for sticking around through the first year of my blog post growing it to an amazing 150 monthly readers, I will forever be grateful for all of you and hope for another year of great discoveries and amazing growth.
Since it is the one-year anniversary, we'll start the second year of the blog with this great discovery that's been sent to me through the P.O. box, if you guys find anything or just want to send a gift, my P.O. box information will be found under the about me section. Today's gift has been sent from, John Snow, and it seems to be an original journal from a former member of the Belleview Boulevard Reading Club. If you've been here for a while you would recognize this name as he is the first, on record missing person from BBRD, Kota Blane. If you are new, Kota, was 20 when he went missing and was a part of the Mitledge branch of the club, a loyal member for about 9 years before his sudden disappearance. From the BBRC website, all members are given the current month's book and a journal to keep up with details of the book to bring up during their book club meetings. In past interviews with former members of the club, many also used them as diaries and for other personal uses, which seemed to be very common among the members.
All information pulled from the statements made by his family and people in his community is going to be summed up here before I post the journal pages here. All articles and pictures can be found in the Kota Blane - The Origin tab.
Kota Blane was 20 years old from Mitledge, Wisconsin, and a long-dedicated member of the Belleview Boulevard Reading Club. A fresh graduate from the Mitledge Community College with a degree in Bio-Engineering, statements from his mother seem to show that she didn't approve of his lack of interest in the community and his lack of participation in the church however, his dedication to the BBRC was something she found admirable as he was a member since 2000. Kota went missing on March 30th, 2009, just 18 days after his 20th birthday, his disappearance was ruled as him simply running off as he wasn't too fond of his community. Statements from the people of Mitledge explained that Kota, even as a kid didn't interact with or seemed to like the people of Mitledge as he rarely left the house and often walked with his head down. No statements were given from members of the Mitledge BBRC, which is not surprising as this is the same for all 35 missing members.
Diving into the package from our friend John, it comes with a letter and Kota's journal first I'm going to read the letter.
Dear Valara,
I am a long-time fan, it's been a pleasure seeing you and your blog grow, and with that happy one-year anniversary, I hope to keep reading for many more.
I came across the missing BBRC members' journals, don't ask, if I tell you I'm gonna have to kill ya...jk. But seriously don't ask.Â
I hope that these books will help tie together the mystery that's this cult in disguise, I can't wait to see how the cookie crumbles when you figure it out. With your resources and my books we can definitely get to the bottom of this. Anyways hope to read my letter in your blog post.Â
                                                    Sincerely, John Snow
Thank you John, for sticking through from the beginning, definitely looking foward to the information we can dig out of these books together. I appreciate your contribution greatly.
Looking at the journal now, it's a yellow customized cover with gold accents and Kota's name in the left corner, it's pretty thick too, about the thickness of a hefty novel right. Opening it, it reads To the Belleview Boulevard Reader Kota Blane, Joined May 25th, 2000, Distributed April 1st, 2000. He was a member from a young age, I didn't even know there were members that young, when you go to the BBRC page to enroll you have to be at least 18, I wonder when they changed the age limit. I'm going to do some research and read through this a bit and with the next post, I'll have some answers, and with that more questions. Thank you all for reading, happy one-year, and see you in the next post!

YES!!! A REAL FNAF SECURITY BREACH RUIN DLC TRAILER!!!!
[Note: FNAF Spoilers, Donât Read Until You Watched The Trailer. also Donât Reblog Without Permission]Â
best day ever, I just learned today about it.
and we finally got a name for the new character as well, the new girlâs name is Cassie.
best day ever, with some not so great stuff that is going on, this is one of the best news ever.
we not only get a real trailer about the new free dlc of FNAFSB...
but we also find out the name of the new playable character. :D
Iâm guessing this, but I wonder if Cassie could be Gregoryâs Twin Sister.
that is of course, a FNAF Theory. but itâs okay if Iâm wrong about Cassie being Gregoryâs twin sister, but it could still be possible.
hopefully Cassie will get a Animatronic to help her out like Gregory had Freddy.
I mean it could be possible she might end up having a Animatronic helping her and it not just being her trying to save Gregory on her own.
and it does seem that her being blonde would end up being in Fanon...
well we can always call the blonde version of her by a different name.
I was surprised to find out that the trailer for FNAF Ruin DLC had been put up...
and by the looks of it, it was around May 19, 2023....
so it was yesterday and Iâm just learning about it today on May 20, 2023.
but still, it is still the best news ever....
I know I might not be able to play the other future chapters of Deltarune, and might have to wait to do that, but until then I can enjoy playing the two chapters and watch walkthroughs that involve Chapters 1 to 2 as well as the future chapters.
anyway at least the FNAF Ruin DLC is free, and it will be worth the wait.
and well the new chapters for Deltarune will be worth the wait as well.
we just have to wait until July 2023, so around next month.Â
it is still great news to get to see the official trailer for the Ruin DLC. :)
------
Edit Of May 22, 2023:
in case there is any misunderstandings, I want to point out that
while I said we have to wait until July 2023, I meant for the FNAF Ruin DLC, and NOT the next chapters for Deltarune....though it would be interesting if they both released on the same month, but that might not be likely to happen...
so I wanted to edit this to point out, that when I was talking about the whole we have to wait until July 2023, I was talking about the release for FNAF Ruin DLC.....I thought I would edit this in, in case there is any misinterpretations.
------------
Edit of May 24, 2023:
took me I donât know how many tries to try to get this to work so I could edit this...
but I kept running into trouble, I kept getting that error loading thing, and the tab even crashed like maybe two or three times...
and I wasnât getting anywhere just trying to go to my Archive, to open this open and edit it, because it kept showing that error loading and wouldnât freaking work.
so I had to try to look this post I did, and yeah it still ended up doing that error loading thing, but after trying I guess for a second time...
I was finally able to edit this, and what I wanted to edit in....
was that I had forgot about âJuneâ and the whole FNAF Ruin DLC wont be until, two months...?Â
so after May, it will be June and then July, with how excited I was, I forgot about the June month coming next after May...
and yeah, it did make me both mad and annoyed that my attempts to edit this was met with that error loading popping up and even the whole tab crashing thing...
this was just suppose to be to point out I had messed up with the month, and I forgot about the June Month, and I know my being so happy about the DLC and I guess I didnât think about the whole June coming next before July...
anyway, I hope some understand my mistake there...
as well as my not being too happy when I kept running into trouble trying to edit this so I can inform about my mistake I made when saying we had to wait until next month, but it will really be two months right now, but once it becomes June, then it will be one more month...
anyway, the DLC will be worth the wait, and I canât wait to see Cassie in it and see if she gets her own guardian or not. :) Â Â Â Â

Not Your Charity Case
prompt: Harry is a frat boy - who doesnât need sympathy from anyone. He makes Y/N feel a sense of home when theyâre together. But is Harry just like every stereotypical frat boy?
word count: 6.2kÂ
warnings: minor violence, language, deaf!harry, smutttt
other: when Harry is talking to Y/N or any other characters - it is to be noted that he is signing. When Y/N talks to Harry - she is also always signing
Let me know if youâd want to see anything else from this verse:)
+++
You were rushed - you really shouldnât stop at the local coffee shop for a sugary, delicious mocha chip frappuccino.
Despite what people say, professors are much more lax and carefree in college.
It was about two weeks into the new semester, - your third here- and the seasons were changing - becoming autumn.
Chilled breezes, falling leaves, and vivid colors of nature made you happy.
When you arrive in line, there are two people ahead of you. A girl currently in front of the cashier and a tall male with a red and black flannel on behind her- typing away on his phone.
When she moves to the left, the broad man steps forward. His snapback facing backwards, brown curls dancing around his neck. You canât help but notice how tall and lean he is, shoulders broad and straight.
You definitely havenât seen him before on campus. Youâd remember.
From what you can see, he shows the young girl behind the counter the screen of his phone without saying anything at all.
The raven-haired girlâs face pinches in annoyance. âWe donât accept orders like that. You need to tell me what you want.â
Youâre a little surprised by both the rude cashier but also the man who doesnât respond right away.
He attempts to show her his phone again but she shakes her head - annoyed.
You become interested in the situation when I watch him sign, a few gestures before pointing to his ears. In the most obvious form of saying âI canât hear.â
The clueless girl gives him a blank look, âListen, thereâs a line. I donât have time for this.â
You hoped you werenât overstepping your boundaries when you slide up next to him, tapping him on his shoulder to get his attention.
It is a bit startling how gorgeous the boy is. He was tanned with bright green-eyes and a defined jawline that was currently clenched in frustration.
You sign, âWhat are you trying to order?â
He studies you for a second with hesitance before his long slim fingers begin to move, slowly as if he thinks you may be inexperienced in the form of language.
He replies, âLarge coffee with a little cream and two sugars.â
You squeeze in front of him, âIt is not only rude but illegal to not serve based on disabilities. Refusing an order from a deaf person isnât moral or acceptable.â
The girl has enough decency to mumble an apology and turned bright pink, âSorry, he doesnât look deaf. âYou roll your eyes - how can you tell that someone is deaf based on solely appearance? This girls a fucking idiot, you think.
You repeat his order to her, along with yours - sliding your debit card towards her and give her your name for the order.
The man trails behind you to the small waiting area. âThank you,â he signs simply. You nod and return the pleasantry. The. hand him his steaming hot coffee.
âThank you again. Iâm going to be late to class, so I have to go,â he tells me, seeming a little out of place signing with a stranger.
âGo ahead, Iâll see you around.â It was the first time in a long time youâve signed to anyone outside your family.
+++
Sipping your drink as you are only five minutes late and the class hasnât even started yet. The man you just helped was sat in the back of the classroom, unloading his laptop.
With a little bravery, you wriggle your way through and plop into the wooden chair easily. Letting your backpack fall to the ground. Curly looks over at you with a frown, he signs, âWhy are you sitting next to me?â
You blush, âI donât know? Thought itâd be good to have someone to talk to.â
His hands are tense as he replies, âIâm not a charity case, so you can leave me alone.â
âNever said you were,â you huff when you tell him. Not appreciating how rude he was being. Signing had its own tones and expressions so to speak. For example, when someone is happy their signs and movements are different than when theyâre sad or frustrated.
Harry seems to be the latter. You wrestle out your laptop to the PowerPoint that was going to be discussed today in class. You noticed Harry stared very intently at the professor to read his lips and expression.
You was surprised he didnât have an interpreter with him but youâre sure he got special accommodations elsewhere. Even though that was absolutely none of your business.
His shoulders are tensed and he makes sure your arms donât brush like you have cooties for the entire two hours. The nameless boy is up and out of his seat as soon as the professor shuts off the projector and turns on the lights - signaling class to be over.
Well fuck him then.
***
You donât make the mistake to sit next him again. But that doesnât mean you could ogle his strong muscular back and big hands.
It wasnât your place to care but you felt twinges in your tummy when you noticed him struggling to keep up with the fast-speed class on certain days.
You were in the large, rustic library that smelled of old books and damp wallpaper. It was dead silent as people furiously studied or worked on papers due.
As you paced the shelves, you could not find the book you needed for your American Literature class. Fuck the Dewey Decimal System.
Part-time uni students probably just stuffed returned books in any open space they saw fit. But you need this book in particular, a discussion board post due by midnight and it was currently eight-thirty. They had ran out of copies at the on-campus bookstore.
After a valiant effort, you trudge up to the checkout counter. A little sign reads, âring me if no ones here!â
You impatiently ring the silver bell. But no one comes. You give whoever is working a minute or two but nothing. Another ring it is.
Silence. No one. Of fucking course, luck is not on your side tonight.
You dramatically clunk your head onto the high counter top in front of you - groaning at the fact you may fail the assignment.
A tentative pat on your shoulder makes you snap your head up. To see the boy youâve been constantly avoiding standing behind the checkout desk.
âAre you okay?â He asks. He had a name-tag on - Harry. He honestly looked a bit out of place. Harry appeared to be a frat boy. He was still had a boyish air about him but an intensity that was unmatchable.
He didnât look like he would work in the library. He looked like...well he looked like he would be a beer pong referee or something.
You couldnât see below his torso but he had a plain black snapback on and a vintage Elton John concert tee. A cross necklace dangling over the worn shirt.
You smile, embarrassed, but reply, âJust being dramatic. I canât find a book and I was waiting here.â
Thereâs mirth in his eyes when he points to the bell,âDid you ring the bell?â
Your brows furrow, âI did.â
âWell I canât hear it, Iâm deaf,â he deadpans with a straight face and a dry sense of humor.
You roll your eyes, laughing nervously, âI didnât know you were working!â
âWhat do you need?â
He helps you locate the book in two minutes flat before checking you out and you rushing home to finish the homework.
You felt bad ignoring your little sisterâs FaceTime calls but you promised to call her back tomorrow.Â
***
Though once again, you hadnât interacted with Harry since last week - you constantly found yourself studying his stoic profile or fast moving fingers.
You would never befriend Harry because you feel bad for him - like he presumed. You enjoyed American Sign Language and it actually made you feel back at home.
Youâre little sister was born completely deaf. She was much younger than you - eight years old. Fifteen years apart to be exact. You learned the language along with her and your parents.
When you were at home and your sister was there - you guys tried to only sign so she didnât feel left out. So Harry felt like home - a little despite his completely off-putting demeanor. It made you a little bit more persistent than with any other frat boy.
***
The bulletin board in your advisorâs office caught your eyes. None of the little tabs ripped off in interest.
âStudent with ASL experience and above a 3.5 GPA needed for tutoring sessions - twice weekly. $16 dollars an hour.â
After your meeting, you tugged the little scrap of paper off and tuck it into your pocket. You couldnât know for sure if it was Harry but you didnât know of any other deaf students in the program.
You say âfuck itâ and type out an email to the advisor of academic affairs and accommodations to throw your hat in the ring.
***
You donât hear back for three days - nearly forgetting about it in the mean time. Your eyes scan quickly over the email to grant you the position. They include contact information for no other than Harry Styles.
After psyching yourself out a little and a few paces across your kitchen tiles - you text him.
Hey! Iâm your new assigned tutor. Would you like to set up a time and place? As well as what kind of help youâre looking for.
The reply text comes shortly after
Hello, thank you very much. I am just in need of hearing ears. I am deaf and have a hard time keeping up with the my professor. I have begun recording the lectures in hope that you can sign then to me.
Sure thing. That wonât be a problem!
I live in Alpha Sigma on 3rd street. I have my own room. Iâd rather not have the tutoring session in public. However, if that makes you uncomfortable - we can figure something out.
You take a minute to debate. You understand why this would be a task too loud for the library and why heâd want privacy. You didnât feel like Iâd be uncomfortable with him.
I saw twice a week so does Tuesday and Thursday at seven work?
Sounds great. Thank you again x
Did he know it was me? Was he expecting it to me?
***
He was definitely not expecting you. You automatically knew that by the way his friendly smile dissipated into a frown when he opened the door for you.
You attempted to look nice today without trying too hard. A loose crop top with the universityâs name, a pair of tight black leggings, bulky white socks bunched at your ankles, and white sneakers. Very 80âs.
You try to keep your composure, âHi Harry, Iâm going to be your tutor.â
He slowly nods at you, huffing out a breathe of irritation before inviting you into the frat house.
Youâd only been here once or twice for a party so you had no idea what the house actually looked like when there werenât bodies and booze everywhere.
Heâs walking you past a group of boys playing FIFA on the flatscreen in the living room, white claws open everywhere.
âY/N! Hey babe!â You look over to see Niall - one of your good friends from your part-time job at the bookstore - trotting over to you guys.
The blonde pulls you into an overexcited hug. He reminded you of a cuddly, soft puppy dog most of the time.
âAre you Harryâs little tutor?â Niall coos, leaning over to pinch Harryâs cheek.Â
Harry- who was observing the conversation, focusing in on our lips, immediately bats his friend away. A small scowl forming on his face.
It automatically turns into a playful brawl where Niall tugs Harry into headlock. But he has no strength on the brunette.
Harry turns out of it quickly and pushes Niall to the ground. He straddles his stomach and begins to jokingly pinch and slap at him.
Niall hisses, âOuch! You motherfucker! Big oaf!â
Then you donât know why you find this endearing but Niall signs the word, âuncleâ a few times to signal heâs accepted his lost.
The fact that they wrestle so much that Niall learned to sign how to give up made you giggle more than it should.
Harry crawls off of him, running a hand through his messy curls, his face a little flushed.
âIâll talk to you later!â You tell Niall as your trailing behind Harry up a flight of stairs.
His room is extremely neat. A fluffy navy comfort decorated his bed with a few photos of flowers and nature on his wall. A tidy desk tucked away in the corner that had all of his school work loaded on top of it.
He chooses to sit in his desk chair, motioning for you to perch on his bed. You look at him expectantly when he pulls out the tape recorder and sets it on the surface.
He pulls his laptop into his lap and begins signing, âI need you to transcribe the lecture for me so I can follow it. We can skip through the bits where he is rambling or off topic.â
You nod, letting him know to begin whenever heâs ready. He presses the side button and the recording starts but it super unclear and garbled.
âDid you record this from your seat?â You ask, the professors words nearly inaudible and fuzzy.
âYes.â
âYou need to bring it to the front of the room. Ask Dr. Morrison to lay it on his desk before class. I canât hear anything but static and mumbles,â You tell him.
He laughs and shakes his head. His movements rough and angry, âOf course its fucked up. I get you as my tutor and then the recorder is shit.â
You glare at him, offended as you havenât done anything to this boy. âExcuse me? Iâve literally been trying to help since Iâve meet you. What is your fucking issue?â
âIâm not a charity case! I donât need you to feel bad for me. Iâm not helpless! Youâre probably just a silly little girl who took ASL in high school because it was cool and trendy. Go back to focusing on psych.â
âFuck you, Harry,â Your gestures getting sharper and your face sour, âYou know nothing about me so donât act like you do. I donât feel bad for you or think that youâre helpless.â You put up a hand and tell him to not talk.
âI was just being nice because I thought you were handsome and at first, seemed friendly. It turns out youâre just like every douchebag frat boy Iâve met. What a disappointment,â You chuckle, swinging your bag on your shoulder and storm out of the room without another look.
***
The cafe was jammed packed - it was Waffle Wednesday. You had said waffles in your tray and were about to plop down on a stool when you hear your name being called.
âCâmere, come sit with us!â He hollers over the commotion of the crowd. Niall.
Youâre about to decline when some dude slips behind you and snags the stool. Shit.
A bit unwillingly you slide into the booth next to Niall, cracking open your sparkling water. âMates, this is Y/N, we work at the store together and sheâs Harryâs tutor,â he tells them. âY/N, this is Liam and Louis.â
âHello,â you try your best to come off as friendly even though you can feel Harryâs glare on the side of your face. You ended up falling to easy conversation with the boys. Niall has a very limited ASL vocabulary but tries.
The boys are also trying to talk slower and more pronounced so Harry can watch and understand. A couple of times he taps Niall on the wrist to repeat what was going on.
Your phone begins buzzing and you apologize for the interruption. Itâs your little sister, Mazie, FaceTiming.
You answer the phone with a frown, signing âArenât you suppose to be in school?â
Mazie looks upset, eyes a little watery. She gestures back, âI left early. Iâm sick.â
âAre you really sick or where you getting bullied again?â You asks her.
Your sister hesitates before sniffling, âYou already know. I hate my school.âÂ
Mazie has had other children bully her for her disability since she started preschool and it as still happening in fourth grade.
âWhat can I do to help?â You frown, never wanting to see your baby sister cry.
You chat for a few minutes to help her calm down. When the phone call ends, you donât realize that all the boys were watching you in interest. Harry in particular, keeps his focus on you with a wrinkled forehead.
âMy sisterâs deaf,â You tell them. The whole time youâve been sitting with them youâve been signing and verbally speaking to help everyone be able to be included in the conversation.
âThatâs sick!â Louis says, smacking Harryâs arm. âJust like our lad Harry.âÂ
Harry grumbles when Louis shakes him a little. It seems like the boys loved to physically interact with Harry which was endearing.
Harry allows him to for a moment before he flicks his cheek hard and laughs when Louis flinches. The conversation goes back to normal.
***
Harry jogs up to you after your group shares farewells and a few punches. You pointedly ignore him as you trek to the class you two have together so itâs not like he canât walk this way too.
âPlease, wait,â Harry asks. He walks in front of you.
âWhat do you want?â You huff, keeping my glare firm and directed alley at him.
âIâm sorry. I made the wrong assumption.â
âYou made a lot of wrong assumptions. The fact that you think of me so lowly is sad. Iâve been nothing but nice,â You try not to focus on his large palms that curve over the caps of your shoulders.
âIâm not very trusting of people.â
You snort rather unattractively, âNo kiddingâ
âCan we please start over?â He asks, stepping back to give you space. He didnât realize how close heâd been standing to you until your hair wisps across his nose.
âOne more chance, Styles.â
Harry lays a hand on your upper arm and squeeze lightly before signing the simple gesture of âthank you.â
***
It turns out Harry is very handsy and physically affectionate. It wasnât creepy though or something that ever made you feel uncomfortable.
You were still tutoring him but you hung around the frat with Harry nearly everyday. The days you just wanted to lay in bed resulted in a grumpy FaceTime from Harry.
Harry once stated during a tutoring session, âIt is easier for me to show how Iâm feeling with touch than words. If I ever make you uncomfortable - please tell me and I will stop.â
You smile slyly at his words that sounded more like a question, asking if he can touch you. âI guess Iâll let you feel me up every now in again.â
He giggles and looks down wolfishly - like an entertaining thought is dancing around in his mind.
You tuck your finger under his chin to gaze at you. âIn all seriousness, I give you my consent to show your feelings with physical touch. I trust you and know you wonât do anything to make me uncomfortable.â
The curly-haired brunette smiles happily, his hand cupping the side of your neck and brushing over your pulse point.
He hadnât touched you here before and it seems like it was his first goal to do so once he got permission. You canât help but take in a deep gasp of air. You prayed he didnât notice but by the small lift of his lips he did.
The simple touch made a flame of arousal swirl in your lower stomach. You felt like you were about to start sweating.
âAnyways,â You clear your throat and snatch back up the recorder. It now had better quality after Harry listened to you about placement.
***
The frat house was ridiculously full of drunk college students. Everybody on the dance floor was sweaty and sticky with a variety of different substances.
Niall had invited you - so you were searching about for him. Pushing through the crowd and nobody was able to hear you say âexcuse me.â
You finally found fresh air in the backyard where beer pong and cornhole were set up. Niall was tossing his ball across the table, trying to splash in Liamâs red solo cups.
Harry was sitting on a cushioned patio chair, watching the game commence. Maybe he was a beer pong referee after all.Â
He looked so fucking good tonight. He had a yellow snapback taming his curls - backwards of course. A black Rage Against the Machine shirt and his signature black skinny jeans. **
You made eye contact and were about to wave when a girl plopped down in the seat across from him.
Awkwardly you turn away, greeting the other boys and taking a seat in a lawn chair to watch them start their third round of the game.
Your eyes keep darting over to Harry who is staring blankly at the girl. She starts stroking his biceps and tracing across the tattoos like they belong to her.
Harry is attempting to let her know heâs not interested. His signs uselessly as sheâs staring at his lips and not hands.
Youâre moving before you know it, without another thought, you squeeze in between the two - separating them. You dramatically slide into his lap, funnily enough one strong arm wrapping happily around your middle.
The pretty blonde pouts out her lips, âIs he your boyfriend?â
Before youâre able to reply, Harry signs the obvious signal for âyesâ to the girl. Then rudely makes the shooing gesture. Sheâs up with a huff and stomping back towards the house.
Harry turns you sideways on his lap so that you two can see each otherâs hands, âYou saved me.â
âYouâre just such a stud, have to protect you,â You joke - but not really.
He raising his eyebrows and smiles, âYou were jealous.â It was a statement not a question.
You blush wildly, avoiding eye contact which you know he hates. He hates anytime you cut off ways of communication.
Harry taps your lips until you look up at him, âitâs really fucking sexy when you are.â A perk of sign language. He could dirty talk just about anywhere and mostly no one would ever know.
His thumb drags on your full bottom lip, signing clumsily with one hand so you had to use context clues to piece it together âDonât think I forgot when you called me handsome a few months ago.â
âI donât remember, doesnât sound like me,â You boldly lie, snickering and nipping at the top of his thumb
His eyes become a shade darker when your teeth meet his skin. He presses his thumb further in until itâs in-between your teeth. The moment is broken when Niall screams, âStyles! Youâre up next!â
**
You and Harry become separated after you spent nearly two hours watching all these drunk boys play beer pong. Harry was ridiculously good at the game and only had to drink two cups from the table.
You had wandered back into the house where the party had died down. There were only a handful of stragglers left but mostly just the fraternity brothers and their close friends.
With a fresh alcoholic seltzer in your hand - you didnât trust open bottles at parties like this - you gaze at Harry through the back window.
Harry was being jumped by Liam and Niall. He was snarling playfully as Liam toppled them all over into the grass. Niall tries to stand up but Harryâs hand wraps around his ankle and makes him fall right back on his bum with a girlish squeal.
Niall leans over to give Harry a wet-willy but Liam manages to throw a plastic cup directly at Niallâs forehead. Harry and the other boys dissolve in childish giggles. Faces red from laughter and liquor. You feel a smile painted fondly on your lips from watching them.
âHey, Y/N right?â A voice interrupts from behind.
You spin to face a guy you barely recognize from a previous class you shared. You smile nonetheless, âHi...â
âJake, Jake from Social Constructs and Society last semester.â
âOh yeah, thatâs right,â You smile and allow him to talk your ear off because you struggle to say âno.â He was fine, nothing special, typical business major who thought he was hot shit because his daddy owned a golf course he wanted to take you to.
It was a normal conversation until his voice gets lower as if heâs trying to be more seductive, âWant to head to a room with me?â He nods towards the staircase.
You chuckle in disbelief at his bold and forward question. âNo thank you, Iâm good.â You really had eyes for one person right now and he was currently cussing out Niall in sign language in the backyard before tackling him once again to the ground.
âCâmon, I can really show you a good time,â He persuades persistently, stepping into your space - causing your nervousness to spike.
âI said - no thank you,âYou bite out, starting to feel scared when he blocks your way out of the kitchen and presses himself against you and the counter.
âYouâre really something gorgeous, you know?â He asks, ignoring my struggles to get away from him.
âStop touching me!â You scream, hoping Niall or one of the boys would hear your wail. He puts a hand up to your mouth to muffle you but that only results in you biting him.
âFucking bitch!â He cries out, pulling his hand back and winding up to either punch or slap you right in the face. You prepare for the impact.
Then in a blink off an eye, it becomes a blur, a muscular figure is crashing into Jake with full force and knocking him straight into the linoleum floor with a loud crash.
Itâs Harry. Broad shoulders and thick but lean tattooed biceps. Heâs standing over the harasser and drops on top of him. It shouldnât look as graceful and tactful as it does.
Youâd never seen anything like this from Harry before. Once you really got to know him - he was a gentle giant who liked romantic comedies, soft blankets, and vanilla cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles.
Harryâs fist is repeatedly connecting with the dark-haired boyâs jaw with full force. The only noise is from Jake as Harry is dead silent but his eyes zeroed in on the target.
When blood begins gushing from the manâs nose - Niall and Liam decide it times to physically pull Harry up. Harry had a slight red mark on his jaw when Jake had managed one punch before being defeated quickly.
Harry signs to Niall, âTell him.â
Niall places his foot on the dudeâs chest to keep him down, âMy mate wants to let you know if you touch her again weâre not going to pull him off and heâll gladly beat you to a fucking pulp.â
Jake groans, clutching his nose to stop the bleeding, âFuckinâ asshole.âÂ
You were still blown away as you watch Harryâs heaving chest as he glares down at the boy. His fist clenched and knuckle bloody and swollen. Harryâs attention turns towards you. His furious expression melts into worry. You can read his face so clearly. Heâs afraid heâs scared you off.
It was hard to believe you had this drop dead gorgeous frat boy defending you past midnight on a Friday night. A boy who didnât need to hear but just to see you needed help to step in.
All your desires and lusts after the man in front of you burst like a rubber-band and the urge to have him felt uncontrollable. âTake me upstairs,â you demand quickly, arousal creeping up your spine.
He doesnât understand youâre extremely turned on. Instead he looks like a kicked dog whoâs about to get in trouble again.
Nevertheless, he takes your hand and maneuvers out of the kitchen and up the stairs until his bedroom door is closed.
Harry lips are turned down unhappily as he begins, âIâm sorry, love. I...â he pauses a moment before continuing. âI just wanted to make sure you were safe. I hope you donât think less of me.â
You look him dead in the eye and sign, âKiss me.â
He blinks slowly at you like he just hallucinate the gestures.
So you repeat your motions, slow and with intent, âKiss me, touch me, do something.â No more time is wasted as he is stepping in front of you and cupping your face in his hands.
Without any hesitation now, he pressing a bruising kiss to your lips - taking your bottom one between his and sucking.
Your hands are immediately tugging at the hem of his vintage shirt, pulling apart to bring it over his head. Dark ink decorates his torso, for some reason something you werenât expecting. A butterfly on his abdomen, two fern branches, tattoos on his side.
Harry chuckles, âThis is new to me.â
Your eyes go wide and you sign, âYouâre a virgin?â
Harry snorts and rolls his eyes before telling you, âGod no. I mean Iâve never been able to really communicate during sex.â
Then before You can speak, he cuts in a bit frantically, âIâve always gotten consent - not like that. I mean-â You cut him off with a kiss - knowing he would never do anything you didnât want.
You wanted everything from him.
âIf youâd believe it, I like a bit of dirty talk when I fuck - but no one understands what Iâm saying,â He tries to crack a joke but for some reason seems insecure and nervous.
âHey,â You take his chin so he shyly meets your eye, âI canât wait to hear it - youâve already made me so wet.â His eyes light up like a kid on Christmas.
âYouâre such a good girl,â he signs before tugging off your shirt and instantly finding your lips again. His hands are skillful as they unclasp your bra without any struggle and tosses it.
You tugs a bit as his hair to show your enjoyment as his tongue finds your nipple - lapping before taking it between his teeth. As good as it feels, you want him to feel even better.
You push him back until heâs sitting in the edge of the bed, legs spread and hands behind him on either side holding him up. Jaw clenched with arousal and restraint.
Heâs pressed against the zipper of his jeans. And all you wanted to do was see him in all of his glory. Youâre quick to undo the button and determined to get the finicky zipper down as well.
His fingers come beneath your chin until youâre looking at his sparkling eyes, a look of lust made his lids a little droopier and his mouth slack from heavy-breathing.
âAre you sure you want to? You donât have to - I want to eat your pussy either way, pet,â He signs, leaning in for a slow, wet kiss.
You sign back with a pout, âShut the fuck up.â He huffs out a laugh, letting go of your chin and wrapping a hand in your hair to keep it out of your face.
As soon as heâs helping you wriggle his briefs and jeans down his narrow hips, youâre met with the prettiest cock youâve ever seen.
When you make eye contact with Harry, he raises a eyebrow and grins cockily, âIs it nice enough for your liking, love?â
You nod breathlessly - wasting no more time before ducking down to take him to your mouth, a slight burning in your throat from how big he is.
His hands keep ahold of your hair, thumbs pressed against your temples as you bob down his length with sloppy, warm licks.
Harryâs moaning as you pop off to kiss and suck at the underside of him, hands coming to cup and roll his balls. It is a few moments later when he taps your cheek to get your attention, one hand leaving his hair to sign that heâs close.
Your mouth speeds up, wanting to give him all the pleasure you could. Your hand coming to stroke at what couldnât fit in your mouth, pumping quickly.
Before you know it, Harryâs rutting his hips upwards and coming with a long, deep moan from the rumbles of his chest. Heâs pulling you up into his lap, pressing appreciative kisses to your cheeks and jawline.
Big hands palming at your breasts before slipping down into your leggings, brushing softly over your mound.Â
You whine and hitch forward to grind against his palm as soon as he cups you. He smiles widely at your desperation, pressing the heel of his palm harder against you to create more pressure.
You were already so wet and turned on that it wasnât going to take much. The ball of your climax was burning low in your tummy. However, you wanted him to taste you like he said he would.
You sign, âIâm close. Please, I want your mouth on me.â
With that, heâs flipping you until youâre laid out on the bed. His hands tugging off your leggings and underwear with no further ado. âHoly shit,â He gestures, gazing all over your body and not stopping on one spot for too long.
âWhat?â You ask, fishing for the compliments you know heâs about to shower you in.
âYouâve got such a pretty pussy,â he signs, dimples popping in his cheeks and a curious finger traces your entrance before dipping in.
You lightly kick at his stomach, âGet on me.â He pouts, crooking his finger against your spot before pulling it out. Fucking tease.
Then his face is disappearing between your spread thighs and a strong lick is delivered from your clit all the way down to your bum.
Since he canât hear you, you grabs handfuls off his hair. Tugging at the roots, scratching your nails into his scalp to let him know how good he is. So fucking good.
When you accidentally buck your hips hard against his mouth, you curse and run a apologetic hand through the locks. He doesnât look up at you but lift a hand and signs, âAgain.â
You absolutely whine, begging to ride him with determination - climax on the brink. He hums causing vibrations on the sensitive nerves. With that, your hips are meeting his tongue and youâre coming. His face dampening with your release - happy as a clam when he pops back up.
You canât remember the sign for condom, so you sign, âProtection?â Harry understands right away, rustling through the drawer until he finds a stray packets, âItâs been awhile.â
âSame,â You gestures - watching as he slides it down his length and crawls overtop of you. He was pink and swollen - having to be a bit sensitive from just coming a little while ago.
âReady, love?â He asks, pressing soft kisses to your jawline. You nod, reaching down to guide him in.
And you werenât lying, it had been a while and he was big. The stretch wasnât uncomfortable, just a lot. But his wet, open-mouth kisses made you stay grounded.
Harryâs moans were absolutely obscene as he slide all the way in before stopping to give you a moment. His arms strong, holding himself over you. The cold metal of his necklaces brushing against your tight nipples.
When you have him the okay, he begin giving you deep, hard strokes on each thrust. His noises so loud they had to be able to hear them downstairs. They were deep and low - rumbling in his chest with pleasure.
Then his hand is coming to your throat. For a wild moment you thought he was going to choke you but instead he rest it lightly, palm flat.
It takes you a moment - then it hits you.
Holy fuck. He is feeling the vibrations of your moans - erupting from your vocal cords. Feeling out the movement from your throat so he can feel how much youâre enjoying it.
You should be embarrassed but you canât find it in you when you come again right on the spot. His fingertips nudging into the skin to feel the intensity as it wracks through you.
When youâre done riding out your orgasm, he reaches for the headboard behind you with his other hand, gripping it tightly as he begins to pound in with all his strength.
The bedframe is hitting the wall so loud that the whole house must be able to hear it. Hitting with every directed thrust until his mouth is dropping down into a long, timbred moan and heâs coming.
---
Later, when the two are you have settled for the night in the warmth of his bed. Harry seems a little nervous, once again. It takes him a moment to meet your eyes and brushes a strand of hair off your forehead.
âWhat is it?â You ask, tucked into his side. His body so solid and comforting.
âItâs corny,â Harry frowns, eyebrows furrowing as his eyes flash across your face.
âTell me,â You insist, bringing his hand to your lips to kiss his fingertips.
âI feel like you were made for me. Like...we were meant to be together,â Harry signs, hesitant to share his thoughts. But it doesnât scare you away. You canât help but agree.
âI think so too,â You reply before pressing another kiss to his puffy pink lips.

close friends | t. holland
pairing: tom holland x fem!reader word count: 3.1k warnings: some language, some angst if u squint. otherwise it's just fluff and tom being tom. didn't proofread this. a/n: so tumblr decided to be a little bitch and deleted this t w i c e. so i had to write this t h r e e times. this came up in my head after i got like three notifications that tom posted something on his ig story, and then it turned out he deleted them. as always, english isn't my first language so i'm sorry if this gets confusing bye. also, i was listening to cardigan by taylor swift as i wrote this.
my masterlist
so we all know tom sucks at instagram. that's a surprise to literally no one. no matter how many times you tried to teach him he still doesn't get it, and it was only a matter of time before he finally posted something he shouldn't have.
it was just one of those days, you missed him like hell. he was away filming the third spiderman, and you had to stay behind because of work.
naturally, you relied on face time and texts to survive and fill the void he left behind. you loved talking to him, listening as he rambled on and on about his adventures on set. a love-struck look on your face as you tried your hardest to stay awake despite the urge to close your eyes.
eventually, sleep took over you, and you drifted off with the sound of his voice lulling you to sleep. he stopped talking abruptly when he didn't hear your soft chuckling in reply to the story he was telling.
instead, he saw your sleeping figure, long steady breaths moving your chest up and down. and he cursed himself for making you stay up so late for him. he took one last look at you, taking a screenshot of your sleeping form.
he quickly hung up the video call and opened instagram instead, uploading the screenshot to his story,
'missing my favorite girl, thank you so much for everything you do for me. x @yourusername'
the next morning you woke up to the sound of your phone buzzing. at first, thought someone had died as one notification after another filled your screen. most of them came from instagram, so you opened that app first.
thousands upon thousands of mentions, tags and new followers. you frowned, and suddenly a text from your friend popped up at the top of your screen.
'omg just saw his story. so happy for u both'
who's story? what was going on?
you refreshed your timeline, and tom's icon appeared, a colorful circle around it. an odd feeling sank in your stomach. you tapped his icon and suddenly your screen was full of... you.
a picture of you, sleeping. tom's smiling form in a small rectangle on the bottom right corner.
oh god. you read the words he wrote, over and over again. your heart pounding in your chest, and a sudden wave of fear ran through your body. but then you read his words once more, and all you could feel was love. pure, unconditional affection.
sure, your families and closest friends knew about you, but you hadn't talked about making your relationship public yet, but there was nothing you could do now.
you sighed, leaning back on your pillows. a small chuckle left your throat.
you grabbed your phone once again, quickly facetiming tom. you knew he had an early call today, and you hoped you could catch him while he was still in his hotel.
it ran once, twice, and then you saw him, hair all over the place, bare chest. hands rubbing sleep off of his face.
"mornin', darling." he said, his raspy morning voice making you smile.
"hi, baby. did i wake you?" you asked, sitting up and crossing your legs.
"yeah but it's fine, princess. i did keep you up last night so it's only fair."
"i'm sorry about falling asleep on you, that was a really nice picture you took last night," you lifted one eyebrow, and watched as he smiled at you sheepishly.
"i thought you looked really pretty, you always look pretty," he said, grabbing the water bottle on his nightstand and taking a swing.
"thanks, i hope the whole world thinks so, too," you declared. leaning your chin on your fist, watching him expectantly.
he did not react like you had expected him to.
his breath hitched as he sipped his water, and suddenly all you could see was the cream-colored ceiling, as you heard him spitting out and coughing.
"tom! oh, my god! are you okay?" you asked, getting on your knees and holding your phone up to your face, "tommy?" you repeated when he finally stopped coughing, you could now hear his heavy breaths.
at last, you saw his curls appear from the bottom of the screen.
"wh-what did you just say?" his voice was rough, his chest heaving.
"are you okay?" you asked again.
"ye-yeah i'm fine. babe, what did you mean by 'the whole world'? did something happen?" he asked, frowning. you echoed his expression, watching him for a second.
âyou posted a picture to your story,â you repeated, and he nodded.
âyeah, i posted it to my close friends, i-â he stopped mid-sentence, eyes growing comically wide. âoh shit, did i-â he caught himself off as he threw the phone to one side, you heard him fumbling around for his laptop and you snorted. âshit, baby, donât tell me i posted it⊠fuck!â you couldnât keep it in any longer, you broke out laughing.
âof course this is how the world finds out about us!â you continued giggling until your stomach hurt.
âfuck, princess iâm so sorry, i didnât mean to, i swear i- why are you laughing!?â
âtommy, tommy! itâs okay, baby, donât worry. iâm not mad,â you stopped once you noticed his pouting. âitâs fine, my love, i donât mind. sure itâs unexpected, and a little sudden but i wouldnât have it any other way. i knew what i was getting into when we started dating,â you told him honestly, wishing you were there to give him a hug and kiss him all over.
âdarling, iâm really, really sorry. i swear i thought i tapped the green button like you told me toâ he continued his sulking, nervous eyes glancing back and forth from his laptop screen to you.
âi know, baby, i know this is not your forte, and i really appreciate the sweet gesture, honestly. i love you so much,â you told him as you bit your lip. folding your legs to your chest, wrapping one around them.
âgod, i love you. i swear iâll make it up to you,â he ran his hand through his hair, giving you a quick peek of his bare chest.
âiâll hold you to it,â you chuckled, you glanced to the clock on your nightstand, sighing when you saw the time. âiâve gotta go,â you said as you stood up and stretched. a wicked idea ran through you head. âiâve got like five meetings today, so iâll probably be busy most of the day. just in case i donât reply or something,â you made up you lie quickly. grabbing your laptop and opening a new tab.
âoh, okay. iâll be on set until like 1 am, so weâll talk tomorrow?â he asked, eyes bright. you nodded, biting your lip.
âdefinitely. i love you,â you blew him a kiss. he smiled, and you felt your heart swelling.
âi love you, too. good luck today!â he said as you reluctantly hung up the call.
you immediately got to work, calling your assistant and telling her you were taking a few personal weeks, and to email you in case of emergencies. next, you texted harry, asking him to call you once tom was busy on set.
you waited for the page to load, and once you had bought your one-way ticket to atlanta you hurriedly threw some pre-planned outfits into two suitcases, just in case. your phone rang and harryâs face popped up on your screen. you quickly answered the call, and let him know of your out-of-the-blue plan. he agreed to meet you at the airport and drive you to set. and because of your recent and sudden rise to fame, he suggested you wear all black and a cap. you followed his advice, throwing on some sunglasses as well, as you had seen tom do many times before.
once you reached the airport and checked-in, you bought some coffee and breakfast, as well as some food for the flight. you opened instagram, seeing all the messages and comments. you had seen how the fans reacted when their favorite celebrities announced a relationship, and you knew to expect the meanest comments, and even death threats. for your own sake and peace of mind, you allowed yourself to scroll until you read three of those, and closed the app.
once the plane took off, you tried to catch some sleep, preparing for the inevitable jet lag, but your mind kept buzzing from one scenario to another. so you took out your book and tried to read some chapters, putting in your earbuds, music playing quietly.
when you finally, finally landed, you stretched your legs and grabbed your bags, putting on the cap and sunglasses again, you spotted a familiar head of wild curls. you quickly approached harry.
âwhat happened to all black and a cap to go unnoticed?â you asked as he took one of your bags in his hands.
âthink about it, two kids wearing black, a cap and sunglasses? people would think weâre up to no good.â he gave you a tight hug, youâd missed him almost as much as youâd missed tom.
he caught you up on everything he and tom had been doing these past months, you shifted in your seat in excitement, the sleep that was slowly taking over you on the plane had now disappeared from your body.
in what was probably a 15 -but to you felt like five- minute drive, you got to the hotel to leave your bags and take a quick shower. harry left you alone in tomâs room, making his way to his own room next door. he said heâd order something for you to eat whilst you got ready to see tom.
you took the quickest shower ever known to humankind, and when you walked out of the bathroom after using tomâs shampoo and conditioner, -youâd missed his smell all over you. the few forgotten hoodies and shirts that were once drenched in the smell of his soap and cologne, were now very faint.- you wrapped a bathrobe around your body, rummaging through tomâs clothes until you found one of his shirts.
you pulled it close to your face, sighing at the familiar scent youâd missed so much. you got dressed quickly, grabbing your now fully-charged phone and the key to tomâs room that harry had left on a coffee table. you knocked on harryâs door and he let you in.
âi just texted tom, he says theyâve got like three hours left.â you sat next to him on the couch, the table in front of you filled with food waiting to be devoured.
âmy poor baby, they overwork him,â you pouted, reaching for one of the plates.
âit was his idea, said heâll do anything that helps finish filming sooner.â you stopped chewing your food.
âwait, really?â you asked in disbelief, you knew tom loved his job, and you found it odd that he wanted to cut his time on set short.
âyeah, itâs been rough for him. not having you around, i mean, after he spent months with you. heâs been pretty distracted lately. messing up lines, heâs been waking up late and missing early calls...â your heart sank at the words. you ate the rest of your food with a knot in your stomach, cursing yourself for not getting there sooner. soon enough, you were back in the car, your leg bouncing up and down. you fell asleep on your way to set, waking up when harry parked the car and nudged your shoulder.
you stepped out carefully, your head turning back every few steps you took, in fear that tom might catch you. once you reached the stage where tom was filming, you flashed the visitor badge harry had given you to the guard and he let you both in. you walked in as you leaned down, your forehead against harryâs back, shielding you from the curious stares. harry told you to hide behind a giant box where they kept some lights whilst he spoke to the director.
although the box was big and tall enough to cover you completely, you crouched down, straining your ears for nearing footsteps. you heard two sets of feet approaching, your heartbeat racing.
you were met with your accomplice, a friendly-looking man behind him. you stood up as they approached you.
âthis the girl?â the man asked, and harry nodded, ânice to meetcha, iâm jon.â you shook his hand, âokay, so weâve cleared tomâs schedule for one week, weâll need him back fully recharged and ready to work like itâs his first day on set, youâre welcome to stay as long as you like, if it means heâll work better if youâre here you can stay until we're done. i really donât mind, i just need my guy back.â you blinked at his words, nodding slowly. âweâve got a couple hours left tonight, iâm all up for some cheesy reunion, but itâll have to be when weâre finished, i can barely keep him focused as it is.â
with that he left, and harry led you to tomâs trailer, where you caught some sleep while you waited. like that morning, you woke up to your phone buzzing. you reached for it, sleep leaving your body as you read the text.
âjust finished filming for the night, iâm exhausted. miss u, love you. x.â
all rational thoughts left your head, you opened the door to tomâs trailer and sprinted out of there until you reached the set. your eyes finally, finally met his figure, and tears filled your eyes.
your legs moved on their own accord, you mumbled apologies as you crashed into people, but you didnât care. tom had his back to you, and even though he wasnât wearing the spiderman costume, youâd recognize that ass anywhere.
âtom!â you called out, stopping a few feet away from him. you saw him whipping his head around, eyes scanning the sea of people. you made your way up to him, âtommy!â you repeated, and he finally turned around.
his mouth wide opened in disbelief, arms twitching, feet running towards you as you did the same. you crashed into each other, your legs wrapping around him, arms around his neck, fingers curling on his soft hair. his hands running all over your back, your hair. pulling you as close as humanly possible.
whispers of âi love youâ, âgod, i missed youâ, ânever leave me againâ, and âi promiseâ were exchanged. you tightened your hold on his hair, pulling back to look at him.
âhi,â you whispered, your nose brushing his.
âhey,â he replied, burying his face on your neck again, pressing small kisses anywhere he could reach. his hands settled on the back of your thighs as he spun you two. you giggled, sniffling as a few tears escaped your eyes.
you could not care less about the people around you, all you could think about was the boy wrapped all over you, your favorite boy. tom led you back to his trailer, where you finally untangled yourself from him. he settled you down and you immediately wrapped your arms around his waist, pulling him close to you again.
you had been starved of his touch for so long, there was no way you were letting him go anytime soon.
after many kisses, touches, tears, promises and more kisses, you left for the hotel. harry had already left, getting a ride from another cast member to leave you two alone. at that moment you swore youâd make him godfather of your firstborn child.
as you waited for tom to step out of the shower -you wouldâve joined him, but three showers in a day seemed kind of excessive-, you laid down on the bed, throwing the covers over your body, tom's scent engulfing you. you breathed in happily. you tapped on your phone, replying to some work emails when you received a text from harry.
âi believe the ball is in your court. youâre welcome.â
next, you received a picture of you and tom. harry mustâve taken the picture when you and tom were too lost in each other to even notice anyone around you. in the picture, your legs are around tom, bodies pressed closed together, your noses touching as you stare lovingly into each otherâs eyes. it was a beautiful picture. and the black and white filter harry had applied to it made it seem like one of those old pictures of wives reuniting with their spouses after the war.
you smiled, heart swelling with emotion as you contemplated your options. you hummed quietly, tapping the instagram logo and waiting for the app to load.
you quickly uploaded the picture harry sent you tagging both him and tom and adding a quick caption before you shut down your phone. you were drifting off to sleep when you felt familiar arms around you.
you leaned into tomâs touch, your back resting against his chest, legs tangling with his as he interlocked his fingers with your own.
âthank you so much for being here, my love. i love you,â tom whispered into your ear, pressing a kiss to your cheek.
âiâll be here whenever you need me. iâll always come back to you.â you turned around, facing him. you kissed the corner of his lips, and he cupped your cheek, his lips meeting yours in a slow kiss, filled with emotion. your fingers played with his fingers as you moved to straddle his waist. âi love you,â you broke the kiss reluctantly. as much as you both wanted to make love that night, youâd made it your top priority that tom took his time off to rest as much as he could, and that included that first night.
you gave him one last kiss, going back to your previous position. the familiar and comfortable weight of his arms around you, the feeling of his lips on your neck, his chest rising and falling against your back, you couldnât ask for anything better.
the peaceful environment you had created suddenly burst like a bubble as tomâs phone pinged over and over again. you heard him grunting, arms reluctantly leaving you.
tom chuckled, putting his phone on do-not-disturb and throwing it somewhere on the bed.
âyouâre perfect for me, my favorite girl.â you smiled, leaning into his touch as he kissed you all over. sleep quickly taking over both of you.
tom swore his heart stopped when heâd seen the picture you posted. youâd never looked more beautiful than when you were staring up at him, your bottom lip between your teeth. the words you wrote as a caption were the last thing on his brain as he finally succumbed to sleep.
âi said, âi bet you canât keep this a secret for five months.â he said, âdarling, i wonât make it past three.â @ tomholland2013 itâs been 10 months, who won?â
edit: i just saw henry cavill's ig post and omg what is my life. pls respect celebrities' privacy and relationships.
