part 3/3 of the bestfriend!bakugou likes to sneak over series (completed)
back to part 1 (sfw) đ„ part 2 (sfw)
about a month after katsukiâs parents found out about you, his darling best friend since childhood and now his girlfriend, sneaking over late at night, they gave you a spare key to the house. you had initially refused their offer, red-faced and stammering profusely, ânononono, i couldnât! this is too muchââ but mitsuki kept insisting, and katsuki couldnât stand anymore of her damn whining and told you to just take the damn key. you relented.
the next day, katsuki decided to hit the gym after school and told you to go home first.
âhuh? but your momâs cooking dinner tonight, isnât she?â you frowned. it was a friday. you always ate dinner at katsukiâs on fridays.
katsuki raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. âno shit?â
âthen why would i go home? iâll just wait for you to finish up at the gym and go back withââ
âi meant my home, dumbass.â
âi canât sneak over when youâre not home!â
âwho the fuck said anythinâ âbout sneakinâ? you have a fuckinâ key, for fuckâs sake!â
for some reason, using the key to unlock the door later that day felt more egregious than all the other times you had snuck over to katsukiâs place. you thanked the stars that katsukiâs parents were working. that definitely made things slightly less nerve-wracking for you.
still, you couldnât help but take your phone out to text katsuki.
you: suki
you: iâm home
katsukiâs reply came after a few moments (he always left notifications for your chat turned on, even at the gym).
katsukiđŁ: Ok
you: iâm gonna go shower
you: then iâll revise for next wkâs history test
katsukiđŁ: Cool status report I guess.
you pouted at his dry response.
you: ure so mean
you: itâs weird doing things at ur place when ure not home
you: feels wrong
katsukiđŁ: The point of having a damn key is for you to come over
katsukiđŁ: Even when Iâm not around
katsukiđŁ: Iâll see you later idiot
katsukiđŁ: Stop spamming me
you sighed. katsuki was right.
you: okayyyyy see you later
you: i love you
katsukiđŁ: You know I love you too
you smiled, reacting to his message with a ââ€ïžâ. katsuki was right about that too.
you showered and slipped into one of katsukiâs hoodies. on katsuki, the hoodie fitted his shoulders and broad frame just right, but on you, it was oversized.
you sat on katsukiâs bed and whipped out your notes and laptop to start studying. about two hours later, you found yourself increasingly bored. it was weird, not having katsuki around. even if katsuki was more or less silent when you two studied together, heâd always be there to check in on you occasionally, grabbing your hand to press gentle kisses on each of your knuckles, or grabbing an elastic band (he kept a few on his nightstand for you) to bun up your hair.
you contemplated texting katsuki, but it was already almost 5pm; he should be back anytime now.
maybe you should take a break from studying. you sighed, getting up from the bed to place your study materials onto katsukiâs desk. you plopped back down in bed, pulling the covers over yourself.
like this, you were completely engulfed in katsukiâs scent â sweet, musky caramel. you had always been addicted to katsukiâs smell. you wish he was here to hold you, in his big, strong arms. god, heâs so big. and fuck, he mustâve looked so good at the gym, in that black compression tee that you bought for his birthday last year. you canât believe heâs your boyfriend. yours, yours, yoursâ
you eyes squeeze shut, and you canât help the way your hips start grinding into the pillow between your legs. itâs so hot down there, and you just wish katsuki was here to hold you, touch you, make you feel goodâ
you gasped, and your hand moves downwards, beneath the waistband of your and into your panties. your pussy is soaking, dripping, throbbing, and you canât help the tiny moan that escapes your parted lips. it had only been a month since you and katsuki had started dating, but youâve been growing increasingly pent-up and frustrated; every time one of your makeout sessions got too steamy, katsuki would always pull away, kissing you sweetly on the forehead. you knew katsuki well enough to know that it wasnât because he didnât want you (fuck, youâve seen, felt his erection press against your thigh so many times), but because he, the perfectionist that he is, wanted your first time together to be perfect.
you found it endearing, really, you had always known that katsuki has always been sentimental about things, especially when it came to you, but fuck, you wanted him, needed him.
âfuck, katsuki,â you moaned. you were getting impatient. you brought your fingers to your clit, rubbing quick, hard circles. you wanted to cum, fuck, your pussyâ âfeels too good. hnngâ fuuuck, mâclose, mâgonna cuââ
âfeelinâ good without me?â you imagine katsuki on top of you, smirking down deviously at you, eyes bright with mischief. you whine, and your hand stops.
âfuck, mâsorry,â you whimpered, grabbing katsukiâs hoodie to pull it up to your face. you writhe, feeling your pussy throb in want as you inhale the scent deeply. âwanna feel good with you, wanna make you feel good, âsuki, please, please, iâll do anythââ
the covers are ripped away from you, your body suddenly exposed to cold air. you gasp, eyes flying open to seeâ oh, fuck.
katsuki stands at the edge of the bed, and god, he really is in that damn compression tee, and you moan at the sight. your fingers continue moving against your clit for a moment, but you watch as katsukiâs eyes flickered down to the movement, to your bare, exposed, leaking pussy, and you cross your legs shyly.
ây/n,â katsuki grits out, dragging his eyes slowly up to meet your gaze. you wonder if youâre imagining the lust swimming in his eyes, or if itâs just your own lust thatâs clouding your judgement. you bite your lip, embarrassment washing over you, but you canât tear your gaze away from katsuki.
ây/n,â katsuki repeats. he doesnât move. âtell me to fuck off, and i will.â
you look at him, standing at the foot of the bed, jaw clenched and fists balled into tight fists at his sides. his face is flushed, and you almost feel sorry for putting him in this situation.
âdonât go,â you whimpered. âneed you, âsuki.â
and suddenly, katsuki is on top of you, arms and legs caging your body while his hands cup your cheeks. he kisses you, and your lips fall open with an embarrassingly loud moan, and katsukiâs tongue forces its way into your mouth. you didnât think you could want him more, but in that moment, feeling the wetness of his slick tongue against yours, you think you do. you rub your thighs together, already sticky from your juices.
katsuki pulls away, and you whine. he ignores the way you wrap your arms around his neck, trying to pull him back down for another kiss.
âya sure âbout this?â katsuki says, voice gruff but stern. a hand goes to the top of your head and he ruffles your hair slightly, before ducking his head down to bury his face in the crook of your neck. âneed ya to be sure.â he kisses your neck.
âkatsuki,â you moan as katsuki begins suckling at the spot, biting and licking and sucking. âfuck me, please?â
katsuki groans, his hips falling as he finally grinds down against you. your hips move upwards reflexively to press your core against his. fuck, heâs so hard.
âyou,â he growls accusingly. âsaid ya didnât wanna come over, cuz it felt wrong?â his hands find their way to your hoodie (correction: his hoodie) and he tugs at it. you tug at his shirt in response, and he shifts backwards to undress himself. you do the same.
you stare at katsuki, clad in just his boxers. big, is all you can think as you stare at the obvious outline of his dick.
when he lies on top of you again, your naked bodies are pressed flushed against each other. this time, however, his hands are cupping your breasts, and he presses featherlight kisses on the top of your chest, making you whine.
âwhy did it feel wrong, huh?â katsuki presses, eyes darting upwards to meet yours. his touch finds your nipples, pinching and rolling them between his fingers harshly. a smug smirk tugs at the corner of his lips at the drawn-out moan that the touch illicits from you. his hands continue moving down and down, tickling over your skin, until one hand ghosts over your leaking pussy. his other hand holds your waist.
he takes two fingers and drags them along the wet slit of your cunt, smearing your slick all over his fingertips.
âkatsuki, fuck!â you cry out, voice a garbled mess as your hips stutter.
shamelessly, katsuki continues to tease you. he finally tears his gaze from yours as he brings his face down to your pussy. he looks at his fingers, coated and glistening in your thick juices.
katsuki brings his fingers between his lips, and sucks on them obscenely, sticking his tongue out to lick around them, between themâ
you moan like a bitch in heat.
âis this why, hm?â katsuki pulls his fingers out his mouth with a âpopâ. without warning, he shoves his fingers into your dripping cunt. your hand flies to your mouth, and you try to stifle your screams as he begins thrusting his fingers in and out.
âfelt wrong cuz you knew you wouldnât be able to control yourself, right?â katsuki demanded, eyes flicking hungrily between the fucked-out look on your face and your pussy. âyou knew youâd start touching yourself like this, like a needy slut, the moment iâm not around to keep an eye on you.â he rubs a thumb against your clit, and you cum around his fingers.
your eyes squeeze shut, moaning and moaning as you tremble under his touch. katsuki continues rubbing your clit, relishing in your noises and the shivers that wrack through your body, until your hips are squirming away from overstimulation.
âdirty girl,â katsuki scolds, though his face is more smug than angry. âwhat am i gonna do with you, hm?â
âfâ fuck,â you stutter through gritted teeth, still coming down from the highs of your orgasm. âfuck me, kats.â
âcanât hear you,â katsuki smirks. he pulls his fingers out of your dripping cunt, and pries your lips open with them until theyâre shoved deep in your mouth. your eyes sting with tears and you start to choke as his fingers hit the back of your throat. âspeak up, sweets.â
âfâ fuaââ you tried to speak around his fingers, but your words came out a garbled mess.
âhah?â katsuki snickers. youâre too horny to be mad. âcome again?â this time, katsuki relents, and pulls his fingers out of your mouth.
âfuck me, please,â you manage to choke out between your coughs. katsuki takes pity on you, you think, as he presses an apologetic kiss to the corner of your lips.
âslut.â
katsuki flips you over onto your belly, and you instinctively prop yourself on your hands and knees as he positions himself behind you. curiously, you twist your head to look at him and holy shitâ
katsukiâs boxers are off, and his cock is so big. itâs thick and veiny, and you make a mental note to suck him off later, but for now, you let out an impatient whine as you back your hips to grind your ass against his cock.
katsuki clicks his tongue disapprovingly. he places his hands on your ass, kneading the soft, fleshy fat, as he lines his cock to your entrance.
you let out a moan when you feel the head of his dick press against your entrance. then, he presses in andâ
âfuuuuuckââ
âfuckinâ hell,â katsuki groans, hands moving to hold your waist as he bottoms out inside of your pussy. his dick is so deep inside you. your pussy throbs and clenches around him. âsuch good pussy. so perfect,â he starts thrusting, and you start seeing stars.
âyer so good for me,â katsuki rasps, and you moan happily at the praise.
âyes, yes, yes, all for you, âsuki, all yours, love you, love your dick so much,â you babble. your hands fumble around the bed until you find what youâre looking for - katsukiâs hoodie - and you pull it towards you before sinking your face into it. the smell drives you crazy.
âgreedy girl,â katsuki says with a slap to your ass. his hips thrust into you faster, harder. âalready fuckinâ you senseless, and you still want that thing? fuckinâ insatiable.â you try to apologise, for being such a slut, but as katsukiâs pace becomes punishing, you can only let out broken screams.
âshit, mânot gonna last like this, sweets,â katsuki pants shakily, hands gripping your waist even tighter. his thrusts become shallow and sloppy. âpussyâs too fuckinâ good.â
âsâokay, âsukiii,â you moan drunkenly, eyes rolling back. youâre already so fucked out, letting katsuki do all the work. âcum for me, wanna feel you cum inside me.â
one last thrust, and your words are pushing katsuki over the edge, and he barely makes it in time to pull out. as his cock spills warm, sticky cum all over your ass and back, katsuki lets out a stream of curses, groaning quietly. he swears youâre going to be the death of him.
he presses a kiss to the back of your shoulder blade.
âyaâd better not lose that fuckinâ key.â
is it obvious that i havenât written smut in like 3 years

A Twist of Fate
Charlie x Fem! Reader
Word count:7670
Warnings: Slight Swearing, I think thatâs it?
Requested: Sorta? Itâs a multi writer topic by @vicesvsvirtuesfanficâ revolving around the idea of y/n finding an ad to rent a date for Thanksgiving. *You can find the first writers fic HERE
A/N: HUGE thank you to @dream-a-little-bigger-xâ for reading every rough draft of this that I sent her, along with bouncing ideas with me! Also a huge thank you to @vicesvsvirtuesfanficâ for supporting me when I got stuck and reading my super rough draft!Â
I wasnât gonna post this until tomorrow but now I have a Christmas Reggie fic that I want to post tomorrow so...Happy Reading.
 Y/N wrapped the buffalo plaid scarf around her neck and pulled her favorite slouchy red beanie over her thick mop of curls. Her cellphone was pressed between her right shoulder and ear as she buttoned up her navy peacoat and half-listened to her mom rattle off the preparations she needed to make for Thanksgiving.
âMom, I really need toâŠâ Y/N attempted to interject only to be cut off by her mother. She placed the phone on speaker and set it down on the counter while she slipped her feet into a pair of black boots. She had stopped listening to her motherâs droning voice nearly a half-hour beforehand, but her ears perked up when her mother asked the dreaded question.
âAre you bringing Noah this year honey? I know you guys like to alternate holidays with his family, but your Aunt Martha is going to make it this year and she is just tickled to finally get to meet him.â
Y/N pursed her lips and ran a hand over her face, she hadnât told anyone that Noah broke things off with her two months prior. She hadnât meant to keep it a secret for so long, but her mom loved Noah and she just knew she would blame her for ruining a good thing. She had been dating Noah for three years and it was perfect until Noah started talking about marriage and Y/N began to realize that she couldnât picture her entire life with him. Noah felt like a moment in time to her, not an eternity.Â
âIâll have to check, Mom, I donât know what Noah is doing yet.â Y/N settled on a half-truth to buy herself some time. She placed her elbows on the edge of the counter and rested her head in her hands.
âHoney, I need to know by the end of the week, okay?â
She could hear the irritation in her mother's voice at the non-answer that Y/N had given to her. Her mother was a meticulous planner and she could not stand curve balls making a mess of her perfect holiday plans. Her mother treated every holiday as if the editors of Better Homes & Gardens were going to drop in at any moment and do a two-page spread on her decor and perfect meal.Â
âGot it, mom! I have to go!â Y/N quickly ended the phone call and shoved her phone into her pocket. She huffed out a heavy sigh and made her way to her front door, grabbing her keys from the catch-all bowl on the table next to the door. She quickly locked up her apartment and rushed down the two flights of stairs to the small community lobby. She adjusted the scarf around her neck and reached for the door but stopped as a new flyer on the community board caught her eye. She took a step back and ripped the paper from the thumbtack that held it to the cork board and shoved it into her coat pocket before pulling the door open.Â
Her hair whipped around her face as she stepped outside and was met with the cool autumn breeze that had settled in over the last month. Y/N looked both ways before stepping off of the sidewalk and hurrying across the street where her best friend, Leigha, was already waiting for her inside the small corner cafe.Â
âHow is it that I have to drive from the other side of town and can make it on time but you literally live across the street and canât?â Leigha teased as Y/N unraveled her scarf and took her coat off, draping both over the back of her chair before sitting down.Â
âSorry! Sorry! My motherâŠâ Y/N rolled her eyes as she recalled the phone call.
âEnough said!â Leigha laughed, she had one of those laughs that turned heads. Her laugh was always a little too loud and sometimes she would snort, it always caused Y/N to break into a fit of giggles. Leigha had been Y/Nâs roommate all the way through college and they had been inseparable since the very first day they had met.Â
âSo,â Leigha crossed her arms on top of the table,â did you work up the courage to tell her about Noah?â
Y/N shifted her gaze across the cafe and bit her lip ânot exactlyâŠâÂ
âYou are unbelievable, y/n â Leigha sighed, exasperated. Â
Y/N snapped her eyes back to Leigha and held her hands up in defense âI tried! Well...I meanâŠI tried to tryâŠâÂ
âYou know if you show up stag and your mother already has a place setting for a plus one, you might as well just go ahead and bury yourself, honestlyâ Leigha tutted.Â
âThatâs why I have a plan!â Y/N turned around and rustled through the pockets of her peacoat before placing the crumpled flyer on the table. She smoothed her hands over the paper and pushed it towards the middle of the table.Â
Leigha snatched the paper up as the waitress came over and took their orders, Leigha ordered a blueberry scone with a chai tea while Y/N ordered a croissant with a side of strawberry preserves and a coffee.
âI meanâŠâ Leigha read over the paper before sliding it back over to Y/N, âyouâve got nothing to lose.â
Y/N bit her lip and stared down at the flyer, re-reading it for the fourth time before she pulled out her phone and scanned the QR code to bring up the app.Â
âI canât believe I am actually this desperate to try to literally purchase a date a week before Thanksgiving.â She muttered as she began to fill out her profile.Â
âWait! Thanksgiving is next week? As in a week from today? I havenât even made my Thanksgiving Pinterest board yet!â Leigha panicked and grabbed her face.
Y/N looked up from her phone and shook her head at Leighaâs antics âwhy do you need a Pinterest board? You literally do the same thing every single year.âÂ
âYeahâŠâ Leigha jutted her bottom lip out in a pout, âbut I want people to think that I am making all of these intricate and super cute appetizers and stuff. Itâs the illusion that I care about!âÂ
Y/N looked up and thanked the waitress as she set the food and coffee down in front of her before turning her attention back to Leigha who was eagerly biting into her scone.Â
âHelp me answer these?â She passed her phone over to the girl and picked up the knife, spreading the strawberry preserves onto her croissant.Â
âBeach or Mountains?â Leigha readout with her mouth half full.Â
âMountains!â Both girls yelled out at the same time and burst into giggles. They continued down the row of questions, passing the phone back and forth until Y/N finally hit the submit button. Leigha practically yanked the phone from Y/Nâs hand as the algorithm began to shoot out potential matches. Her thumb scrolled through the pictures at lighting speed before she stopped and slowly scrolled back up before thrusting the phone in Y/Nâs face.Â
âThis one! Oh my god, this one! And if you donât select the platinum package so that boy can say he loves you then I will literally never speak to you again!âÂ
Y/N wiped the jam from her chin and grabbed the phone from Leigha. He was cute, there was no doubt about that but unlike Leigha, she cared about what his profile said about him. She scrolled through his pictures, one of him playing guitar, one hiking, one surrounded by friends around a campfire. Lover of nature, endless adventure, campfire songs, and sharing the love with my friends. Iâll jump if you jump, letâs take this plunge together?Â
She felt her lips curl up into a soft smile as she whispered his name to herself, liking the way that it rolled so easily off of her tongue.Â
âI told yooouuuu!â Leigha sang out and crossed her arms over her chest, a smug look on her face.Â
Y/N placed the phone on the table and tried to control the blush that she could fill rising to her cheeks, âcalm down,â she rolled her eyes, âIâm paying for a Thanksgiving date, not falling in love.â She selected the platinum option and typed in her credit card number before clicking the purchase open without a second hesitation.Â
âI better be your maid of honor!â Leigha teased as the two girls dropped the appropriate amount of money onto the table and began to layer their coats and scarves back on. Y/N pulled the girl into a hug and placed a kiss on her cheek before heading back across the street towards her apartment.
 She had just placed the keys back into her catch-all bowl by the door when her phone began to ding. She felt her heart begin to race as she saw the approval message on her screen that Charlie had accepted her request to rent him as her Thanksgiving date.
âOh my god...okay...okay, this is fine...everything is fine.â She muttered to herself as she received another notification that Charlie had messaged her. She set her phone down on the counter and peeled her coat and scarf off before slipping her feet out of her boots. She wiped her sweaty hands on her jeans and grabbed her phone, refusing to look at it until she had settled in on her couch. She crossed her feet under her and pulled a throw pillow to her chest before finally sliding up on the notification and reading the message that he sent.Â
Let's get to know each other? Lunch tomorrow?
Y/N hesitated for a moment before her fingertips began to slide across the keyboard on her screen.
Sounds good! How do you feel about chicken & waffles? I know a place!
She read over what she had sent several times, worried that she sounded too eager. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears as she waited for his response, watching as several dots appeared and disappeared several times on her screen before he finally sent his response.Â
A girl after my own heart! How is 12:30? Send me the address?Â
She felt her cheeks grow warm at his response and mentally reminded herself that he was just being kind and that she was quite literally paying for him.Â
500 Rue Kennedy Dieppe, NB. and 12:30 is perfect! Iâll see you then!Â
Y/N took a deep breath and closed the app before her thumb hovered over her motherâs contact. She quickly clicked on her number and quietly whispered to herself âplease donât answer, please donât answer, please donât answer.âÂ
âThank god!â she exclaimed as the phone sent her to voicemail. She rolled her eyes at her motherâs elaborate message before finally being told to leave her message at the sound of the beep.Â
âHi, mom...itâs me...I just wanted to let you know that you will need to make sure to set an extra place setting for thanksgiving. Love you.â She rattled off, keeping the message vague but to the point.Â
The following day Y/N stood inside of her closet staring at her assortment of clothes trying to decide what said âI'm cool and definitely not desperate even though I paid for a date for Thanksgiving because my family is insane.âÂ
She pulled a mustard yellow cable knit sweater from a hanger and laid it out on her bed before heading back to her closet. Her fingers sorted through the variety of skirts before settling on a silky, pleated navy skirt that was cinched at the waist. She laid the skirt out next to the sweater before moving over to her vanity.Â
She sat on the poof chair and stared at her reflection for a brief moment before pulling the small drawer to the left open and lining up her primers, eye palette, eyeliner, mascara, and her signature red lipstick. She grabbed the mason jar that sat on the right tableside of the vanity and grabbed the appropriate brushes, lining those up as well.Â
She used her middle finger of her right hand to gently swipe the eyeshadow primer onto her eyelids before dusting the brush across a shimmery gold eyeshadow. She used a maroon eyeshadow on her crease and slowly blended the colors until she achieved a golden and subtle smokey eye.Y/N shook her hands out to steady her nerves before slowly pulling the liquid eyeliner across her eyelids and flicking it softly at the end for a subtle cat-eye before she carefully built volume on her eyelashes with the mascara. Finally, she grabbed the matte red lipstick and carefully swiped it across her lips before blotting them with a tissue.Â
Y/N jumped at the sound of her phone vibrating on her nightstand. She moved across the room and grabbed the phone from the charger.Â
See you soon!Â
She felt the nerves settle back into her stomach and wiped her clammy hands on her pajama pants before quickly undressing. She pulled the yellow cable knit sweater over her head, careful not to let it touch her face. She followed that by pulling on the pleated navy skirt, the fabric falling just above her knee. She pulled on the fabric of the sweater at her waist so that it slightly hung over the waistband of the skirt before she slipped her feet into a pair of black pointed flats. She took one last look at herself in the mirror and pulled her curls over her shoulders before grabbing her purse and slinging it across her body.Â
Y/N entered the bustling restaurant and let her eyes wander across the tables trying to find Charlie. She wrung her hands together and pulled her lips into a thin line when she didnât see him, her heart dropping at the thought that she had been stood up or even worse, that she had really fallen for a scam. She turned on her left foot and reached for the door, barely pulling it open before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She let go of the door, resulting in a soft thud as it closed.Â
âY/N? You werenât about to bail on me were you?â The soft voice teased as she turned around.Â
 âI thought you had stood me up, actually.â She could feel the blush that dusted across her cheeks at the accusation. Her left hand fell to her right wrist, her fingers loosely wrapping around it as she looked up at Charlie through her eyelashes and offered an apologetic smile.Â
Charlieâs green eyes crinkled at the edges and his nose scrunched up as he laughed âtake the money and run, I wish I would have thought of that!âÂ
âOh..â Y/N looked back at the door and then back towards Charlie, âif you donât want to do this, itâs fi--âÂ
Charlie smiled softly at her âI was just teasing, I didnât want to sit at the table by myself in case you didnât show and have to do the walk of shame, so I was at the bar.âÂ
Charlie placed his right hand on the small of her back and guided her to a table in the middle of the bustling restaurant. He pulled her chair out for her before taking a seat on the opposite side of the table. Y/N tucked her hair behind her ears and glanced at the menu, though she already knew what she was going to order. The waiter, a young kid, probably seventeen stopped by their table and quickly took their order.Â
Y/NÂ finally looked up to find Charlie staring at her, his face cradled in his hands with his elbows propped up on the table.Â
âWhy are you looking at me like that?âÂ
âIâm just trying to figure out why a very beautiful girl would need to rent a date for a Holiday.âÂ
Y/N felt herself blush at his compliment and shrugged her left shoulder âI got dumped.âÂ
âOh, Iâm so sorryâÂ
She smiled and waved him off âItâs no big deal, we wanted different things out of life. He wanted marriage and I,â she hesitated, she hadnât talked about this with anyone other than Leigha.
âYou what?âÂ
 âI want adventure and I know that sounds silly. Like, of course, you can have adventure and marriage but Noah,â she paused, âthatâs my ex.âÂ
Charlie nodded and gestured for her to continue, âNoah works in the financial district and he wanted marriage and kids and stabilityâŠ.and I barely know what I want to eat for breakfast let alone what I want for eternity.âÂ
âYouâre a free spirit, nothing wrong with that!â Charlie interjected and Y/N felt her first genuine smile of the night spread across her face.Â
âYou get it.âÂ
âI do get it.âÂ
Y/N thanked the waiter as he sat down two beers along with their orders of chicken and waffles, before turning back to Charlie.Â
âSo, tell me about your family. What should I prepare myself for?â Charlie lifted the pint glass to his lips and took a sip of the amber-colored beer.
âWell,â Y/N blew air into her cheeks and sighed, âmy mother thinks sheâs Martha Stewart. So be sure to compliment the decor as soon as you see her. Youâll win her over for sure...and maybe donât mention the whole free spirit thing or you will definitely end up on her list of terrible suitors that I have brought home.âÂ
âNoted.â Charlie nodded before adding, âand your dad?âÂ
âMy dad is easy going, just talk about beer and hockey and you'll be fine.âÂ
Charlie threw his head back in laughter and Y/N couldnât help but smile at the way his whole face lit up when he laughed. She felt a flutter in her stomach as Charlie leaned forward so that his forearms rested on the table and his fingers lightly brushed across hers before he pulled back. Y/n pulled her hands off of the table and dropped them into her lap, her fingers lightly traced over the silky fabric of her skirt.
âIs everything okay?âÂ
Y/N inhaled a sharp breath and rolled her bottom lip into her mouth before exhaling, âyeah, but I should probably tell you something,â she looked up at Charlie through her eyelashes.Â
âWell, câmon then..â Charlie teased after several seconds of silence.Â
âMy folks donât exactly know that Noah and I areâŠ.done...and I know thereâs going to be a big event made of it when they find out.â
âOofâŠâ Charlie sighed and took a swig from his beer and a bite of his food.Â
Y/N felt her heart beating in her ears, âI understand if you, I mean if this is too much and you want to back out.âÂ
Charlie looked at her with a playful smirk, âare you actually going to eat that or?â He pointed at her untouched plate of food with his fork.Â
âW-what?â Y/N looked down at her food and back up at Charlie before letting a smile slip onto her face. She didnât understand how someone she had just met could put her nerves at ease without even trying.Â
Charlie let his fork clatter on his plate before leaning forward on his elbows. Y/N watched with furrowed brows as he grabbed the maple syrup and poured it in a circle over her chicken before he leaned back into his seat and met her eyes with a soft smile on his face.Â
Y/N picked up her fork and knife and cut into her maple drenched chicken before popping a small bite into her mouth, âare you happy now?â she teased Charlie before putting her fork back down.Â
Charlie tried to hold back the smile that threatened to take over his face as he nodded his head.Â
âSo, whatâs our story going to be? Itâs gonna have to be a good one if I have to upstage Noah to win over your folks.â
The two spent the next hour concocting a believable, but very romantic story of how they met. They talked about their likes and dislikes, their quirks and habits, and all of the little things that couples are supposed to know about each other,Â
Y/N felt butterflies erupt in her stomach as Charlie walked her to her car, his left hand just barely brushing against hers. She mentally scolded herself for feeling jittery over a guy that was simply fulfilling his job, but she also couldnât help but hope that maybe he was feeling their connection too.
âIâll pick you up next Wednesday at 4 pm, yeah?â Charlie asked as they arrived at her car. Y/n tucked her hair behind her right ear and nodded.Â
She felt her breath hitch as Charlie leaned forward and pressed a kiss to her cheek before walking backward and sending her a wave.Â
A week later and Y/N found herself pulling on a green sequined, long sleeve dress, the hem set just above her knees. It was her go-to holiday dress, classic but not too formal. She painted her face with gold eyeshadow, a sharp winged eyeliner, and her classic red lips. Her hair hung over her shoulders in cascading curls. She sat on her bed, fastening a pair of strappy black heels when her phone dinged. She fastened the buckles of her heels and grabbed her phone, a smile instantly sliding onto her face at Charlie letting her know heâd be at her place in five minutes.Â
She stood up and checked her appearance one final time before grabbing her gold clutch handbag and shoving her phone into it, just as Charlie knocked on her door. She quickly made her way to the front door and turned the lock before pulling the door open.Â
âWowâŠâ Charlie breathed out as she came into full view.Â
Y/N shyly smiled back at the boy, thankful that the blush she had on her cheeks already would mask the red glow that she could feel heating up her face.
âYouâre not too bad yourself,â she teased, her eyes trailing from his brown wing toed shoes up to his pristine white button-up and finally to his slightly coiffed hair.
âShall we?â Charlie extended his arm out to Y/N after she locked her door. She looped her right arm through his left, her hand resting lightly on his forearm as they made their way through the corridor and outside to Charlieâs car.Â
He opened the passenger side door for her and waited for her to get situated before closing the door and running around to the other side of the car. Their forty-minute drive was mostly silent as Y/N worked to calm her nerves down. She knew that she was going to have a lot of explaining to do when she showed up with Charlie in place of Noah and she was trying to memorize all of the details that they had agreed on a week prior.Â
âAre you okay?â Charlie glanced over at her for a brief moment before returning his eyes to the road, his left hand took hold of the steering wheel as his right hand settled on her bare knee.Â
His hand was warm against her cold skin and Y/N wasnât sure why but she found her left hand moving to settle on top of his hand. Without hesitation, Charlie flipped his hand over and let her palm fall into his before his fingers slid between hers and gently curled.Â
âJust nervousâŠâ
Charlie lightly squeezed her hand before letting out a small chuckle âif I didnât know any better, I would think that youâre the one about to meet my family.â
âOh, Iâm not nervous about them meeting you, theyâll love you,â Y/N clarified,â Iâm nervous about the terrible things that I know my mother is going to say to me about ending things with Noah.â
Charlie licked his lips as he pulled into her parentsâ driveway. He pulled his right hand free from hers and put the car in park before turning slightly in his seat to face her.Â
âYou know that nothing she says is going to be true, right? You donât have to live by someone else's timeline for your life.â
Y/N pushed down the warming feeling in her heart and nodded her head at his words.Â
âYeah, I know...are you ready?âÂ
Charlie smiled brightly at her and pulled the keys from the ignition before getting out of the car. He double-stepped around the car to the passenger door and pulled it open for her, waiting for her to get out before closing the door.Â
He slid his left palm into her right hand and tangled their fingers together before placing a soft kiss on her hairline and whispered âletâs put on a show.âÂ
Y/N could feel the nervous energy erupting in her stomach as they stood outside of her childhood home. She took a deep breath before twisting the doorknob and pushing the red front door open. They were met with the warm heat of the home and the smell of cinnamon as soon as they stepped inside. Charlie let his eyes wander across the walls of the entryway, scanning the line of pictures before tugging Y/N over to one.Â
âThis is you, yeah?â The question was rhetorical as it had been obvious that it was her in the picture. She stood on a cliffside, at the top of a mountain with a bright smile on her face, her childhood dog, Rex, beside her and the ocean behind her.Â
âYeah, I was seventeen and went backpacking by myself for the first time. My mom was so mad. This family that was passing by was kind enough to capture the moment for me and my dad insisted that it be hung on the wall of accomplishmentsâŠâ Y/N rambled off the story before letting her eyes move from the picture and up to Charlie.Â
Charlie smiled down at her and laughed, âthis is gonna sound insane, but I think that was my family that stopped and took the picture.â
Y/N pulled her brows forward so that her forehead was pinched in the middle âshut up! No it wasnât!â she finally exclaimed.Â
âRexâŠ.the dogâs name was Rex. I remember because I thought you were pretty and I got flustered and I said something dumb about Rex from Toy Story.â
Y/Nâs eyes grew wide as Charlie recounted the story and she felt her cheeks growing red at the revelation âwell, this is a weird twist in fate--âÂ
She was cut off by the sound of her dadâs deep voice bellowing her name as he turned the corner. Charlie pulled her into his side and let his right-hand rest on her hip, while her right hand rested on his chest.Â
âWell, this certainly isnât Noah!â Her father exclaimed a large smile on his face and his eyes soft. He had never been the biggest fan of Noahâs to begin with.Â
Charlie dropped his hand from her waist and stepped forward with it stretched out towards her dad, âCharlie Gillespie, sir.â He was taken aback when her dad threw his head back in laughter and pulled him in for a full bear hug.Â
âNice to meet you, sonâÂ
Y/N giggled at her dadâs antics, he had always been the type to do things like that. He was a stout man with laugh lines at the corners of his eyes. He had graying hair and a well-kept beard and he radiated kindness.Â
âAnd you, little missy, are going to have a lot of explaining to do to your mother.â Y/N pulled back from her dad's embrace and blew the air out of her cheeks.Â
âYeah, I knowâŠâÂ
Her dad gently squeezed her arm and gave her a reassuring smile before leaving the two to grab a beer from the kitchen.Â
âWhy do I have the overwhelming feeling to call your dad pops and ask him over to mine to watch hockey?â Charlie joked.Â
Y/N shrugged and tangled her fingers with his, âI told you he was the easy one. Are you ready for the rest?âÂ
âLead the way, beautiful.âÂ
Y/N tugged on Charlieâs hand and he followed behind her as they made their way to the den where her brothers were corralled around and a card table, intense looks on each of their faces as they held their cards close to their bodies. Their wives were set on the opposite side of the room. Y/N could feel the three womenâs eyes on her as she entered the room with Charlie and she knew their hushed whispers were aimed at her and the fact that Charlie was very much not Noah.Â
Her youngest brother, Josh, was the first of the three boys to look up and notice her. He dropped his cards on the table, face down, and scooted his chair back against the hardwood floors.Â
âJunebug!â He yelled as he practically launched himself towards her. Y/N exploded into a fit of giggles as her feet left the floor and he twirled her around in circles. Josh was three years younger than her, sitting at nineteen but she had always been the closest with him. Her giggles quieted down as he sat her back down and turned to Charlie.Â
âWell, youâre not Noah.â Josh quipped with a playful smirk on his face.Â
Charlie rubbed the back of his neck and laughed âI have a feeling I am going to be getting that a lot today.âÂ
âYou play poker?â Josh eyeballed him.Â
âI know my way around a deck of cards, yeah.â Charlie shrugged.Â
Josh turned to Y/N and lightly punched her shoulder, âlooks like you got yourself an upgrade, Junebug!âÂ
Y/N rolled her eyes at her brother and wished Charlie luck as he was pulled over to the table and introduced to her two older brothers, Samuel and Michael. She felt her shoulders relax for a moment as the table erupted with laughter from something Charlie had said. He looked up from his cards and shot her a wink before turning his attention back to the game at hand.Â
Y/N glanced back at Charlie one last time before making her way over to the prying eyes of Amy and Melissa, the wives of Samuel and Michael. The two women each held a mug of her motherâs homemade cider in their manicured hands.Â
âWhoâs the cutie?â Amy was the first to speak, her left eyebrow raised as she asked the question.Â
Y/N looked over her shoulder for a moment with a smile before turning back around âCharlieâŠâÂ
âOh! Well, youâve certainly never said Noahâs name like that before!â Melissa looked at Y/N with wide eyes.Â
Y/N shook her head at the two gossipy women âlike what?â
Amy and Melissa both shot knowing looks to each other before Amy quipped, âsweetie, that boyâs name left your lips like honey falling from a spoon.âÂ
âIt did not!âÂ
âYou can deny it all you want, but we both heard it!â Melissa declared and brought her mug up to her lips, taking a sip of the warm cider.Â
âLooks like Iâm out boys!â Y/N heard from the other side of the room. She glanced over her shoulder to find Charlie laying his cards down on the table before he slid out of his chair. She smiled at him as he made his way over to her. He stood behind her, his arms wrapped around her waist and tugged her back into his chest, his head resting on her shoulder.Â
âCharlie, these are my sister-in-laws, Amy, and Melissa.âÂ
âVery nice to meet both of you.â Charlie beamed at the two women.Â
Melissa and Amy stood up at the sound of heels clicking against the tile floor of the kitchen. Melissa made her way around Y/N and she gently squeezed Charliesâs bicep, âgood luck honey.âÂ
Charlie pressed a kiss to Y/Nâs cheek and tightened his arms around her waist as he felt her body tense in his arms.
âYouâve got this,â Charlie reassured before loosening his grip on her and letting her grab his hand.Â
Y/N sucked in a deep breath and gently pulled Charlie behind her as she navigated through the formal dining room and towards the kitchen where her mother was sure to be found.Â
She stopped just inside the doorway to the kitchen and turned to face Charlie, âyou can still get out of this, ya know?âÂ
âI wouldnât dream of it.â Charlie placed his hands on her shoulders and gently turned her around, nudging her into the kitchen while he followed.Â
Y/N stood silently for a minute as she watched her mother pull the green bean casserole from the oven and wipe her hands across her floral apron. Her mother was a thin woman with auburn hair that was almost always pulled into a chignon.Â
âMom? Can I talk to you?â Y/N hesitantly asked, suddenly feeling less like a twenty-two year old woman and more like a twelve-year old child.Â
âWhat do you want to talk about, dear? Because if itâs about Noah,â her mother grabbed a wooden spoon and stirred the brown gravy that was simmering on the stove, âthen I frankly donât have time to listen to your childish reasons for ending the only good thing you had.âÂ
âYou know?â Y/N choked out
Her mother grabbed the pepper grinder and began to twist the top over another pot of food, âI called Noah after we spoke last week since you couldnât give me a straight answer when I called you.âÂ
âOhâŠâ Y/N placed her hands on Charlieâs chest and gently pushed him backward. Her eyes pleading with him to give her a minute. She didnât want him to bear witness to the reprimanding she knew was about to come. Charlie hesitantly left her side and waited on the other side of the door.Â
Her mother finally turned around to face Y/N. She placed her hands on the edge of the counter, her knuckles white from the tight grip.Â
âHonestly, y/n. I donât know why you canât get your life together. You graduated college just to throw away your education for this silly photography hobby of yours and now you threw away a perfectly acceptable relationship because you want to travel and have adventures? Youâre not a child, anymore, y/n. When is this going to stop? When are you going to grow up?â
Y/N stood silently as the words washed over her. She could feel the tears pricking at the corners of her eyes and let out a shaky breath.Â
âIâŠâ
âWhat? You what, Y/N? What explanation could you possibly have this time?â Her mother cut her off.Â
Charlie pushed himself off of the wall he had been leaning on from the other side of the door and quickly made his way back into the kitchen. He felt her motherâs eyes on him as he quickly pressed a kiss to Y/Nâs cheek, his hand sliding across the middle of her back before he put on his best smile and made his way over to her mother.Â
âYou have a lovely home, Mrs. Y/L/N. My mother would be insanely envious of the spread youâve created, itâs magazine worthy!âÂ
âThank you, dear. You are much too kind! I am so sorry, but I donât believe I caught your name?â
Y/N looked down at the floor and smiled to herself at the charm that Charlie exuded as he introduced himself to her mother and offered to help her bring the endless amounts of food to the formal dining room for her.Â
âIâll go gather everyone.â Y/N shot an appreciative smile to Charlie before she made her way back to the den to gather the rest of the family into the dining room.Â
Y/N made her way over to the empty chair next to Charlie, the latter getting out of his own chair to pull her chair out for her before sitting back down. He placed his hand on the inside of her thigh and let his thumb rub circles on the top of her leg.Â
Her dad stood at the top of the table and carved the turkey while small talk was exchanged between her brothers and their wives and suddenly the question finally came from her mother.Â
âSo, how did you two meet?âÂ
Y/N glanced over at Charlie not sure if he was going to take the lead or not and was surprised when he started spitting out a story that was definitely not the one they had agreed on during their lunch meeting,Â
 âI met your daughter several years ago on a hiking trip with my family,â Charlie paused and looked over at her before continuing, âmy older brother, Patrick actually took that photo that you have on your wall in the entryway!âÂ
Y/Nâs heart was beating erratically as Charlie squeezed her knee before turning his focus back to her mother âyour daughter took my breath away that day and I kicked myself for weeks for not getting her number and just having this missed connection. I guess you could call it a twist of fate, really, that I found her again.âÂ
Y/Nâs mother smiled at the two of them and Y/N felt her body tense for just a moment before relief rushed over her at her motherâs words âthat may be the most romantic thing I have ever heard in my life.â
âCan we eat now or?â Josh hesitantly asked as he grabbed the plate of yams and began piling a portion onto his plate.Â
Y/N felt at ease for the rest of the evening as their shared meal went off without a hitch. Her family shared embarrassing stories of her with Charlie and she sipped glasses of wine as he endlessly complimented her. Her heart felt full as the night drew to a close and her dad pulled out the last Thanksgiving tradition. The wishbone was passed around the table until it landed in her hands. She turned to Charlie and gestured for him to grab the other end of the bone. They both tugged on the bone with their eyes closed until it snapped.Â
Y/N opened her eyes and looked down at the fractured bone in her hand and then over to Charlie who was holding the larger side.Â
âMake a wish,â she whispered to him with a soft smile on her face. Charlie shook his head and kissed her forehead.Â
âI donât have to, Iâve got everything I want right here.âÂ
Y/N dropped her eyes to the table and reminded herself that as much as she felt the connection between her and Charlie, that he was just playing a role.
She looked up as the sound of chairs sliding against the floor filled the room. She followed suit and slowly stood up from her chair.Â
âDo you need help, mom?âÂ
âYou go ahead and head out honey, I know you have a long drive.â
Y/N made her rounds of goodbye to her family before looking back at Charlie and grabbing his hand. They silently walked to his car and he opened the car door for her. Y/N hummed along to the songs that played on the radio during the drive back to her place. She tried to ignore the heat that she felt in her stomach as Charlieâs thumb ran across her knuckles every now and then. She watched the cars that passed by them, red tail lights lighting up her face as they drove on the highway. Before she knew it they were parked outside of her apartment.Â
âI guess this is it thenâŠâ Charlie looked over at Y/N as she unbuckled her seatbelt.Â
âI guess so.â Y/N agreed, her right hand rested on the door handle as she looked at Charlie, her eyes searching for any indication that he didnât want her to leave. She let her hand pull on the door handle when Charlie didnât respond.Â
She swung the car door open and stepped out into the street before making her way to the sidewalk. She turned around at the sound of another car door shutting and was taken aback by Charlie running over to her sideÂ
âI should walk you to your door,â Charlie answered the silent question
Y/N smiled and led the way through the apartment corridor until they stood outside of her door, her keys dangling in her left hand. She looked up at Charlie and smiled, âyou didnât have to see me inside, ya know?âÂ
Charlie rubbed the back of his neck with his right hand and shrugged, âall part of the job.âÂ
Y/N felt her smile falter and turned around to place the key into the lock of her apartment door. She quickly turned the key and opened the door before stepping inside. She turned to look at Charlie one last time, âwell, thank you for giving me my moneyâs worth,â she let her eyes fall from his.Â
âGoodbye, Charlie.â She closed the door and dropped her keys into the catch-all bowl before kicking her heels off and making her way over to the couch. She let her body slump into the soft cushions and pulled her phone out to call the only person that was going to understand.Â
âTell me everything!â Leigha demanded as soon as her face appeared on the phone.Â
âWell,â Y/N sighed, âI think I accidentally started to fall in love with him.âÂ
Leigha couldnât stop the giddy laughter that erupted from her small frame âI knew this was going to happen! I so called this!âÂ
Y/N rolled her eyes at her best friend and poked her bottom lip out in a pout âitâs not funny Lee...Iâm never gonna see him again and now I have all of these feelings to deal with.â
âYou donât know that!â Leigha argued
âI appreciate that youâre a hopeless romantic, Lee, but I was nothing but a paying customer to him...he basically said so himself.â Y/N frowned, thinking back to Charlieâs words as he walked her to her door.Â
âOh...hun, Iâm so sorry.âÂ
Y/N let a sad smile slip onto her face, âIâm gonna go to bed, coffee tomorrow morning?â
Y/N hung her phone up and pulled herself up from the couch. She shuffled through the apartment until she reached her room and slowly peeled the sequined dress from her body. She made her way to the vanity and grabbed a makeup wipe and slowly removed the makeup from her face before she crawled into bed and pulled the covers tight around her body.Â
It was 8 am when Y/N was pulled from her slumber by her phone blaring the ringtone that Leigha insisted she set for herself. She rolled over with her eyes still closed and fumbled around for her phone before slowly cracking her eyes to hit the green button.
âWhat?â Y/N grumpily answered
âDonât what me!â Leigha chastised, âthereâs a cute boy at the cafe and he just ordered your order! Like to the T!âÂ
Y/N set up in her bed and pressed her fingers into her eyes, rubbing the sleep away in small circles.Â
âOk? And?âÂ
âAND?! AND!!! His name is Charlie! I swear to god if you donât get out of bed and make yourself look decent, I will literally kill you!âÂ
Y/N dropped her phone onto her bed and pulled the covers back. She quickly made her way to her bathroom and brushed her teeth. She stared at herself in the mirror and ran her fingers through her messy bed head, her curls tangling together between her fingers.Â
âShit..okayâŠ.okayâŠâ She muttered to herself and opted to twist her hair up into a top knot. She secured it with a hair tie and ran back to her room where she threw on a pair of black leggings and an oversized jumper. Her heart nearly leaped out of her chest when she heard a knock on her door.Â
She wiped her hands on her leggings and quickly made her way to her front door. She took a deep breath to settle her nerves before reaching forward to unlock the door. Her hand shook as she turned the doorknob and slowly pulled the door open. Stood on the other side was Charlie with a small brown bag and a hot coffee extended out to her.Â
Y/N stepped to the side and opened the door wider, allowing Charlie to come in.
âWhat are you doing here?â She asked as she took the bag and coffee from his hands. She sat the bag on the counter and pulled the cup to her lips, taking a small sip. She hummed to herself as the warm liquid slid down her throat.Â
Charlie stepped forward and hesitantly took the drink from her hands, setting it on the counter behind her. Y/N watched anxiously as Charlieâs eyes moved across her face, flickering between her eyes and lips several times before he lifted his hands and placed one on her right cheek while the other cradled her neck.
âIâm gonna kiss you now,â Charlie whispered into the space between them before catching her lips with his. Charlie pulled away before Y/N had a chance to react, his face glowing red as he held his bottom teeth between his top two teeth.Â
âIs this free of charge?â Y/N joked as she placed her hands on Charlieâs chest and leaned forward, bringing her lips back to his.Â

5 times it didnât, 1 time it did: tom holland imagine
a/n | this is my first submission for @hollandsrecsâ 1k bingo event! the prompt was â5 times, 1 timeâ, a concept youâll soon understand! I really enjoyed writing this and got really in my Feelingsâą listening to Mean it by Gracie Abrams (give it a listen).Â
summary: Tom keeps missing his chance to make things right with you after rumors spread about an affair with one of his costars.Â
tom x fem reader | contains angst for days, language, and resolution fluff | word count: 2.2k | enjoy!
âI canât believe you.â
âWhat, what canât you believe?â
âYou told me youâd never let the tabloids come in between our relationship.â
âAs far as Iâm concerned, they havenât. Youâre still sitting here, arenât you?â
âIn our apartment? Seriously?â
âWhat do you want from me?â
âTo call your publicist or your manager or whoever the hell will be able to shut all this shit down.â
âItâs the internet, y/n. You canât âshut it downâ. Whatâs out there is out there.â
âWhy are you being so apathetic about this?â
âWhy is it such a big deal?â
âHalf the country thinks youâre dating your costar and that Iâm a desperate sidepiece.â
âYou know youâre not.â
âBut they donât.â
âSo?â
âIs it so hard to come out and say that itâs not true?â
âPeople will think what they want regardless of what I say.â
âYou know what, fuck this.â
You got off the couch, throwing your hands up in defeat.
âI donât know why I have to try so hard to convince you to make this relationship a priority.â
Tom sighed heavily, starting to get off the couch and follow you out of the room, but receded and stayed planted. He wanted to say something that would make you turn around and come back, something to figure it out. To tell you that you were a priority, really his first one. But he didnât know how to say that, and he stayed silent.
He couldâve apologized, and he didnât. This was the first time youâd ever walked out of an argument without resolving the problem and ending it with a hug and mutual I-love-youâs. It took all of your gathered strength to keep facing forward and walk further and further away from him, instead of running back, folding into his arms and seeking out the comfort that was his body heat. It epically sucked that he had the power to make you both the angriest and happiest you ever knew how to feel.
You and Tom went to sleep that night silently, staying a hundred feet apart in your queen sized bed, backs turned towards each other. You hated feeling the draft between your loose shirt and bare back â he hated not being able to fall asleep inhaling your shampoo with his head against the back of yours. You stayed awake listening to the silence, hoping heâd speak. Hoping heâd say he was sorry, that heâd fix it. But all he did was yawn, or sigh, or stretch out and pull his hand back like it had been burned when he accidentally grazed your arm. You were both miserable, but he still didnât apologize, second opportunity to fix things passing by as soon as it had come.
The next morning, you woke up later than you meant to and couldnât avoid Tom waking up next to you, making inevitable eye contact as youâd naturally shuffled closer together in your sleep, like your bodies were ready for a closure your minds werenât ready to come to.
âHey.â
âHi.â
Your phone buzzed and you made the mistake of checking it. More and more notifications poured in from friends asking if you and Tom were still together, âwho this costar bitch thought she wasâ, seeing how you were handling it. You realized still nothing had been done about it, and the same nasty feelings from the day before resurfaced anew. Tom saw your face drop and rolled onto his back, pretending to be interested in the ceiling.
âPlans today?â he asked.
âJust doing damage control and convincing infinite circles of friends that Iâm not suddenly single and in a downward spiral behind closed doors,â you responded, sounding harsher than you meant to.
He put his hands over his face. Â âIf they really were your friends they wouldnât have to ask,â he said bluntly. Your belly filled with a dull fire.
âIs that really the angle youâre gonna take right now?â you said, trying to ignore the tears preemptively pinpricking the corners of your eyes. Tom realized he had played the asshole card when he turned to see your face painted with hurt, and again, tried to spit out the words that he was sorry. But he didnât, and his third chance flew out the open window. You shivered at the draft, and Tom went to instinctively wrap his arms around you, but stopped himself when you looked at him puzzled, as he couldnât handle doing really anything when he saw how gray your eyes looked.
ây/n, I think this has gotten-â
âSave it,â you said, swiftly getting out of bed. You didnât care to be insulted another time before 9 am, or feel your attachment to the love of your life sever a little more before youâd even brewed your coffee. You threw on the first thing you found, tied your hair up, grabbed your bag and then your keys.
âIâll see you before the interview later.â
Truthfully, Tomâs talk show interview tonight was hours and hours away, but you wanted to avoid another emotional hit from him as long as possible.
Tom felt his chest sink as he heard the lock click after you. Why couldnât he just apologize? Was it that hard? Sure, he didnât agree with you. The tabloids always blew any gossip they could create out of proportion, turning every friendly hug between friends into a loverâs affair. But addressing it to the public only ever just fanned the fire. He didnât want to give in to the pressure, but could see how it was starting to break you.
You walked into your flat with barely enough time to get ready after a long, tiring day of thinking and overthinking, wanting nothing more than to come home and be with your best friend, to cry to him about your problems and let him kiss and cuddle the pain away. Never before had he actually been the problem, though. That was uncharted territory, and you were afraid to see him tonight and face either inevitable fighting or excruciating silence. You met at the car and got in wordlessly. Only once youâd pulled onto the highway did Tom decide to speak.
âI think we need to talk about whatâs been going on, yeah?â
âI guess so.â
âI just want you to understand that my not saying anything publicly doesnât mean Iâm not denying the rumors being spread. Staying silent is taking a stand, in a way.â
âIn a way,â you said quietly. You really didnât want to ruin your makeup before the show and hoped staying soft would keep the emotional floodgates from breaking open.
âIâm trying not to add fuel to the fire, love,â he said, placing a hand on your thigh. You stared down at that hand you loved and didnât respond.
âI feel like I have no dignity left.â
He exhaled and frowned.
âDo you know what people are saying about me?â you squeaked without meaning to.
âIâve told you to stop reading all those articles.â
âRight, because thatâs the problem.â You rolled your eyes and moved your leg away from under his hand. He awkwardly placed it on the gear shift and didnât dare to look at you for fear of breaking down himself.
âI just wish youâd stand up for me.â
âIâm doing it in my own way,â he trailed off. But that wasnât good enough for you.
âAnd you canât see that maybe thatâs not enough?â
âI-â He was about to say sorry â you couldâve sworn you hear the first syllable. But a car in front changed lanes and cut him off.
âFucker.âÂ
After that wise remark, silence. Fourth chance to apologize up in smoke. You looked out the window and said nothing until you pulled up to the studio entrance. You saw lines of flashing bulbs of cameras, news trucks and reporters. Why did everything have to be such a thing? Tom cleared his throat and turned to you.
ây/n, love, go ahead and get out here and Iâll meet you inside.â
You looked back at Tom blankly.
âWeâre not going in together?â
âI donât want to subject us to all the paps out there,â he said, refusing to make eye contact. âIf you go alone, my security team can cover you. They canât cover us both.â
Your whole body felt cold. âAre...are you serious?â
It looked like telling you to face the crowd without him was the hardest thing heâd ever had to do. So why was he doing it?
âIâll meet you inside-â
You cut him off by loudly undoing your seatbelt and putting your heels on, shooting daggers at him the whole time.
âI shouldâve stayed home.â You opened the car door and got out.
ây/n, Iâm-â You slammed the door shut before you could hear the rest of his words. Five chances he had to make it right, five times he absolutely blew it. You werenât sure this was something you even wanted anymore. How could you clearly mean so little to him when he was your everything?

â...and give it up for Tom Holland!â the audience cheered wildly at the sight of your boyfriend walking out on stage, shaking the hostâs hand and waving with a bright-eyed and cheery smile at the crowd. Youâd chosen a smart seat in the back so as to hide from anyone who might recognize you â you were not in the mood to socialize, and frankly, if Tom didnât currently have the only set of car keys, you wouldâve driven yourself home. You could see him scanning the audience until his eyes landed on you, and you stared at him with an expression completely unfeeling, blinking slowly until he turned away.Â
He continued to woo the host and the crowd with his heartfelt answers and funny anecdotes, but even you were immune to his charm tonight. You felt detached, alone. You wondered how youâd spent so long with this boy who had no respect for you or how you felt.
âSo, not to put you on the spot, but-â
âUh oh,â Tom laughed, the audience along with him.
âNo, no, bear with me,â the host chuckled. âIâm sure youâre no stranger to all the rumors going around about this relationship youâve gotten into with your costar in the new Spiderman movie coming out next year, can you give us any inside scoop on that?â
Tom shuffled in his chair looking uneasy, running a hand through his already messy hair, a telltale sign that he was nervous. You hated how well you knew him.
âI mean, I donât like to give into all the gossip,â he said, trying to play it off. âBut if you want to talk about the movie-â
âWe will, we will! But you know what we all really care about...â the host laughed, pushing Tom to keep talking.
âLook, weâve all grown close on set, like a little family. And I canât believe I even have to say this, but no, Iâm not an item with any one of my costars, or fellow actors, or anyone famous for that matter,â his face started to splotch pink, and you sat up in your seat. What was he doing?
âWell sorry to pry-â the host started, but Tom kept talking, now faster, lips not able to keep up with his brain.
âThe amount of stress all the rumors have put on me and the people I care about is insane and unfair, and nobody has taken it harder than my actual girlfriend, who is right there in the audience,â he said, and you cursed him for causing a hundred chairs to squeak as heads swiveled towards you. âIt all has her constantly feeling hated and unimportant and questioning our relationship, which I canât stand, because I love her more than anything, I do, and I hate to see her so upset when thereâs just nothing I can do about people gossiping.â You hear scattered âawwâs come from around you.
âIâve been quiet for too long about it, which I thought was the right thing to do. But I was wrong. She deserves to hear me tell the world that I am with her, and only her, and thatâs not changing,â he says, finally taking a breath. Tom looks at you, eyes watery, and sighs, as the audience coos and applauds. He mouths a clear âIâm sorryâ that only you see, and you feel that cold draft start to melt, letting yourself give him a small smile in return. He finishes the interview and you meet him backstage at the end.
When he sees you walking towards him, Tom picks up speed and pulls you into a hug immediately, both arms underneath yours, almost picking you up off the ground. You hate to admit it, but it feels so good to be back where you rightfully belong. You lean into his body and hug him back. He kisses your cheek and rests his face against yours. âYou know how much I love you, right?â
âI know. You finally apologized.â
âI know.â
âTook you long enough.â
He pulled back and smiled at you, leaning in and kissing you softly. He cupped your face with both of his hands and wiped away a small tear that was harbored between your eyelashes.
âIâll go on a million more talk shows and do it again if it means youâll forgive me.â
âThatâs a start,â you both giggle and he kisses you again. âCan we go home?â
âOf course, love.â

âYouâre telling me,â you said, leaning back against the counter as you stared at Osamu, âthat youâre breaking up with me so you can get back with your ex? Thatâs the gist of this right?â
He looked off to the side, crossing his arms in front of him before nodding. Coward.
From the outside, anyone would think this was just another casual conversation. Dinner simmered on the stove beside you, the smell soured in the wake of his words.
âLook, âm sorry. I didnât mean--â he started, still inspecting the floor as if he were expecting it to offer support as he broke your heart, but you snorted, stopping him.
âYou know, I donât really think I wanna hear this. I mean, you didnât mean to hurt me? Is that it? Miya, you canât break up with someone for your fucking ex and expect it not to hurt,â you said, and the amusement in your voice shook him.
His usually lazy brown eyes were wide as he watched you turn your back to him, stirring the food before it burnt. You werenât reacting the way he had thought you would, but then he supposed he hadnât known what to expect when he came in planning to break up with you. He was ashamed to admit a part of him had hoped for tears, with you begging him to stay. Annoying him would have made it made it so much easier to walk out the door.
But your quiet acceptance was a blow he hadnât prepared for, and it made him feel even scummier for doing it to you.
And he deserved that.
âYou can get your stuff out, if youâre ready,â you said, turning the burner off. Covering it with a lid, you moved the pan off the coils and pulled out your phone, checking the time. Your best friend should have been home by then, and you texted her to tell her that you would be coming by. âIâll leave for a while. I donât wanna see you when I get home, so make sure youâre gone.â
The tightness in your chest increased as you slid your shoes on. It had only been thirty minutes since you got home and now you were leaving again. You refused to cry in front of him-- he didnât deserve that from you.
There was a petty voice inside of him, itching to pick a fight as you gathered up your wallet and keys, hand on the doorknob before turning back to him. His chest felt like it was on fire, hands balled into fists at his side as he stood in the living room watching you. The way you acted so callously made him wonder if you even cared.
âYou can leave your key on the table,â you said, gesturing vaguely towards the coffee table.Â
And then you were turning the doorknob and Osamu took a step forward, heart hammering as a question tumbled out of his mouth. It wasnât a fair question and it was selfish, he knew that, but your coldness was killing him and he had to know.
âYou donât seem to care, _____. Did you even love me?â
Your laugh was cold and empty and the tears stung your eyes against your will, and when you turned back to look at him he finally saw the agony in your eyes.Â
âOf course I did. Did you?â
And just like that the door closed on him, on you, and on your relationship.
You hadnât heard from him since that, so why was his name lighting up the notifications on your phone? You pondered that question as you stirred your coffee, trying to ignore the sting of hope in your chest as you read his text. It was...strange, like he was dancing around something under the pretense of being polite.
âHey, I know you probably donât wanna hear from me but Atsumu mentioned you got that promotion at work, so I just wanted to congratulate you. I know how hard you worked for it.â
It was stiff and polite, all proper grammar and punctuation, so unlike how he usually was-- or rather-- how he used to text you. You quirked a brow, wondering what he would care for anyway.
Screenshotting it, you sent it to Atsumu and to your best friend, both with a thinking emoji.
Atsumu responded with a shrug, but you knew he knew more than he was letting on. He was clearly trying to keep something from you, but you ignored the urge to pester him about it. You were still trying to heal from the breakup and getting involved in Osamuâs business would do nothing to help.
Miyu, on the other hand, sent several unfriendly emojis and a particularly violent meme, asking what the hell his problem was, and you smiled. Turning back to the window, you set your phone down on the table and sipped your drink, enjoying the cloudless summer day.
--
Osamu looked at his phone for the umpteenth time as he sat across from Kana, who was buried in her own phone while she giggled, before locking it and setting it down on the table. He turned to watch the people bustle up and down the street, trying to ignore the dashed hope sitting like a rock in his gut.
--
The next text came a few days later while you were lounging in the tub, waiting for Miyu and your other friend Hanaka to show up for a girlâs night. They had been a source of immeasurable comfort over the last few months and you were beyond grateful.
Your phone dinged and you picked it up, expecting to see an arrival text, but once again Osamuâs name flashed, causing you to frown.
It was an apology text this time, for his previous text, and you opened it to read it in full.
âHey, Iâm sorry about the other day. I donât know why I thought it would be a good idea to message you. Iâm the last person you want to hear from, and I know that, but you deserved that promotion. I hope you have a good night.â
Same stiff and formal text, and you pursed your lips before locking it again. You really should have just blocked his number but, even as your finger hovered over the button, you couldnât bring yourself too. The irrational part of your brain liked that he was still thinking about you and the petty part just liked leaving him on read.
Later, when you were out of the tub and Hana was in the middle of painting your toenails, you brought it up, showing them the message.
âTrouble in paradise?â Hanaka snickered, carefully laying a french tip across your toe.Â
Miyu, on the other hand, snorted, glaring at the text on your screen. âServes him right. We all knew Kana was a terrible person. I bet sheâs cheating on him now and thatâs why heâs texting you again.â
That thought made you frown, and Hana spoke up as she set your foot down on the floor again. âIt isnât your fault, _____. He made his decision, he has to live with it. I guess you should just consider yourself lucky that he broke it off with you before he did anything with her. Iâll give him credit for that.â
Miyu blew on her nails, her tone softer as she said, âYeah, but heâs still an idiot. But I know that look, _____. You should be careful. Is he gonna run back to you and then leave you again the minute Kana begs him to come back?â
You had been hovering over the keyboard in his messages, considering a reply, but her words struck a chord in you and instead you locked your phone, muting it and putting the messages-- and Osamu-- out of your mind for the rest of the night.
--
Osamu sighed as he watched Kana getting ready to go out. She wandered around the bedroom in a sequined dress and heels, her hair done up and makeup applied, just hunting for her wallet.
She let out a triumphant noise when she located it and turned to look at Osamu, giving him a coy smile. âBye, âSamu. Love you, donât wait up.â
He hadnât been invited out that night, and he checked his phone again, discovering a text from Atsumu inviting him to dinner with the Jackals, and he grabbed his jacket with a sigh.
You had left him on read again that night.
--
At work a few weeks later, you received a text from Atsumu, asking if you had decided if you were going to go to a party they were throwing in celebration of several people getting signed onto the national volleyball team. It was that weekend and you had yet to decide, knowing that Osamu and Kana were going to be there.
Hana peered over your shoulder at the text and hummed. âI...kinda think you should go. You shouldnât distance yourself from the rest of them because of him. Theyâre your friends too.â
She was right. Of course she was right. They had been supportive of you after the breakup as well, with Sakusa even texting you-- because Atsumu and Bokuto told him to, of course-- that he didnât want you to âleave the friend groupâ because of Osamu.
You sucked your lip between your teeth, nibbling the skin as you thought about it. As if you hadnât been doing that for days anyway, mulling over the pros and cons of going but never reaching a solid decision. Ultimately, you locked your phone after telling him you would have a decision by the end of the night. It was the best you could do, and Hana returned to her own desk shortly after that.
You were in the middle of eating dinner when you received your third text from Osamu and read it with a mouthful of noodles.
âYou shouldnât distance yourself from the others because of me. I wonât bother you, so tell Atsumu yes. Heâs driving me insane.â
You couldnât help but snicker at that, knowing Atsumu was still pissed about what happened between the two of you. He had called you not long after Osamu told him what he had done, going on a tirade about how his brother was a piece of trash and he was there if you needed to talk.
He could hear that you had been crying and his heart went out to you, but you had told him you needed to go. It had been a while before you looked at him without flinching or hanging up the phone after only a minute, and you had apologized profusely for it. But he understood-- one of the troubles with being a twin was when one was a bastard, the other got in trouble for it too.
You hadnât held it against them when they forgave Osamu, though Atsumu assured you it was only after cold-shouldering him for a month to let him know they were not happy. None of them ever liked Kana, and had even thanked you when you seemed to revive Osamu after she left him the first time.
None of them could have guessed he would pull something like that on you, though.
Your fingers hovered over your keyboard before you finally replied with a simple thanks.
--
Osamuâs phone lit up and he glanced at it, his hands occupied with molding rice balls, and he almost dropped it back into the bowl when he actually saw your name on his phone.
It was only one word, but something in him eased when he saw it.
He smiled as the screen shut off again, then it fell as he remembered he was going to the party with Kana.
--
The evening of the party, you met up with Hanaka and Yuki outside the club. The team had gone to extremes, renting out a whole club for the party. The music was thumping when you got inside and with the lights down low, you could hardly make out anyone inside.
Yet somehow, Bokuto was still able to pick you out, calling your name loudly over the low beats and pushing his way through the crowd to pick you up in a strong hug. Hana and Miyu smacked his arms as he wrapped them up as well, then you were being led towards the open bar along the wall.
âIâm so glad you came, _____,â Atsumu yelled when he saw you with Bokuto. He was quick to pull you into a hug, kissing the top of your head. You could tell he had already been drinking and he was quick to fix up your favorite drinks, pushing them into your hands. âWeâve really missed you, you know?â
You had to yell to be heard over the music and gave it up after a few minutes, letting him and Bokuto guide you out onto the dancefloor. Pinned between Miyu and Hana, you let yourself get lost in the music and the sway of their bodies against yours. There were more people than you expected there and, when your drink ran out, you had to push your way through the crowd to get to the bar again.
The room was hot, the alcohol coursing through your body only serving to make you warmer. You passed Atsumu, who was wrapped around someone you had never met before. He smirked at you and you rolled your eyes.
As you made yourself a new drink, you casually looked around the club, taking in the familiar faces that you could actually make out. The flashing lights were wreaking havoc inside of your buzzed brain, everything taking on a fuzzy haze even when you tried to concentrate.Â
Your heart fell from your chest down into your stomach when you caught sight of Osamu making his way towards the bar.
He was looking over his shoulder at something and froze when he turned back around, locking eyes with you. His lips parted and you could see the surprise evident on his face, his lazy eyes widening a little more as his steps quickened.Â
Then he stopped. His whole demeanor changed, his eyes darkening as a frown marred his handsome features. You knew him well enough to recognize the guilt etched into his features, his shoulders hunching as he tried to sink in on himself. You gave him a little wave, your heart thumping in your chest.
In the weeks after the breakup, you had locked all the photos of him in a vault app and let Hanaka put the passcode on it to keep you out of it. When she asked why you didnât just delete them, you expressed a hope that one day you would be able to look back on them without hurting, and you would know then that you were healed. She seemed to understand and her nails tapped the screen of your phone as she input a password.
Not seeing his face and not thinking about him had obviously dulled your memories because the sight of him felt like a punch to the gut.Â
If you thought he was surprised before, it was nothing compared to how he looked when you actually waved at him. Your heart was pounding, blaming the alcohol on your reaction. If you expected him to take that as permission to approach, you werenât sure if you were relieved or upset that he didnât.
He hovered in the space between you, looking between you, the bar, and the crowd. Your anxiety eased the longer it remained between you, relief overwhelming the unwanted hope that bubbled in your stomach. Clearly he meant it when he said he wouldnât bother you, and you gave him another small wave before disappearing into the crowd with your drink.
He watched you go with a forlorn expression, guilt eating at his insides all over again, but he was happy that you seemed well enough. You had acknowledged him, which was the last thing he had expected after the cold goodbye you left him with that night.
âOsamu,â a voice said from behind him, and he turned to look at Kana behind him. She was stunning as usual, her hand warm on his arm. âWhatâs wrong?â
He shook his head in answer, glancing at where you had disappeared amidst the gyrating bodies. If Kana knew that you were here and that Osamu had seen you, she would get extremely pissy and jealous, which was the last thing he felt like dealing with. On top of that, he knew that Kana would go out of her way to find you. She was spiteful like that, even though you had done nothing to either one of them.
âNothinâ, babe. Just got a little dizzy. Iâll get yer drink, just go back to the table,â he said, pulling his arm from her grasp. If she noticed how cold he was, she said nothing about it as she returned to the group-- of her friends.
None of his friends had joined them and, since you were in the middle of them, he couldnât either. As much as he wanted to be with them, he would keep his promise to you, keeping out of your way to let you have fun.
With one last glance around, he returned to his table to find Kana and most of the others gone. The ones that were left kept glancing from him to the dancefloor and whispering.
He sighed and picked up the drink, downing it on one long breath before falling back against the booth seat. Staring into his now empty glass, he wondered about all the choices he made up until then.
--
You woke up the next morning with a wicked hangover, the room still spinning even after several hours of sleep. Rolling over to pick up your phone, you found there were a dozen text messages from the others, the group chat blown up with praise from the party and complaints about their hangovers that morning, but that wasnât what caught your attention.
There were a series of texts from Osamu and your eyebrows raised higher and higher as you read them, your heart hammering away in your chest.
âi know i keep texting u nf i donât jnoq wh yâ
âu look e d goo tonogjtâ
âitâs funnyâ
âi thin kksna is cheating on m eâ
ânot that u shuld care rightâ
âatymi thunks im an idipt anf heâs rightâ
âi miss youâ
The timestamps between the first five and the last one was almost an hourâs difference and you were just starting to process them when another text slid in. It was short, just one word, but it spoke volumes in the emptiness of your bedroom.
âsorryâ
You stared at it for a while longer, just processing everything you were feeling. There was a raging pain where your heart beat, threatening to come out of your chest every time it hit your ribs. You couldnât think clearly, too many thoughts swirling, making your head throb in time with your heart. What had you done to deserve any of the things that had happened, were still happening to you?
You shouldâve just blocked his stupid number because you wouldnât be dealing with the confusing pain his drunken messages brought. A part of you wanted to believe him-- a part you considered stupid but were unable to ignore. The Osamu you had known, had loved-- still loved, much as you wanted to deny it-- seemed to come out in those texts, and that was a dangerous thing.
Groaning, you rolled over onto your back, reading over the texts again. You were balancing on a tightrope of emotions, dangerously close to giving into the desire to reply.
The typing bubbles showed up again, stopping and starting and stopping again for almost a minute. You held your breath, wondering what he was typing.
âiâm sorry. i keep messaging you even though i told ya iâd leave ya alone. but i canât help it. ik what i did was stupid and whta iâm doing now is even dumber but dammitâ
You locked your phone even as the bubbles popped up again to roll out of bed, hearing it ping from amidst your blankets as you stumbled towards the bathroom. Your ears were ringing, your head was throbbing, and now your heart was pounding with nerves. You dug through your medicine cabinet for aspirin, listening to your phone go off for a third time.
You couldnât handle it, whatever he was doing or trying to do, leaving your phone on your bed as you went to the kitchen. Starting up a pot of coffee, you hovered over the sink, sitting somewhere between throwing up and not. You startled yourself when a sob ripped from between your lips.
Sinking down to the floor, you leaned back against the cabinets, wrapping your arms around your knees as you cried. Your tears spilled over your arms and ran down your legs, your nose stuffing up and running. It was several long minutes before you finally quieted, the sound of the coffee pot beeping filling the silence that followed. Your ears were ringing again as the room spun, the nausea from earlier welling up tenfold with the increase in your headache, and you ran to the bathroom.
âGoddammit,â you muttered, your sinuses on fire. After rinsing your mouth out with water, you gulped down a second glass, staring at your disheveled appearance in the mirror. âWhat should I do?â
You were not about to get in between whatever was going on with Osamu and Kana, but the soft spot you still harbored for him was almost too loud to ignore. Digging your phone out from your sheets, you found 2 more texts from him.
âi know i donât deserve your forgiveness. i donât know what to doâ
âi donât know what i want from this but pleaseâ
You groaned and unlocked your phone, holding your head in your hands as you stared at the screen. Tears stung your eyes again, your mouth dry as you typed your reply back and then called Hana.
âIâm sorry, Osamu. I canât help you.â
--
You still didnât block him after that. The part of you that still cared was worried for him and you wanted him to be able to reach you if he actually needed you. After making Hana promise not to tell anyone else what he had said in his texts, you talked it out, explaining the myriad of feelings that were impossible to sort out. She praised you for being strong and not giving into him, remind you he had made the decision to leave you, not the other way around.
You had cried some more before then deleted the thread of messages again, unable to stand the temptation to look at them again. Things were, for lack of a better word, fine after that. You settled back into your post-Osamu routine, trying not to dwell on his pitiful messages or be reminded of him by mundane things. Atsumu didnât mention anything new happening, so you assumed he was still with Kana.
A month after that fiasco, he hadnât texted you again. Some nights you laid awake, staring at your ceiling, trying to ignore the hope that he would and the temptation to message him first. Whatever Kana was or wasnât doing to him or behind his back wasnât your problem or your concern, and you had to keep telling yourself that as you set your phone down on the nightstand that night.
Rolling over onto your side, you stared out the window through the small gap in the curtains, a small beam of moonlight filtering through and highlighting the empty side of the bed. If you closed your eyes, you could picture Osamu there, scrolling through his phone and laughing before showing you whatever it was. He always smelled so sweet and warm, like the confections he baked at his restaurant and you reached out to touch his pillow. It no longer smelled like him after so many months and a few tears fell, soaking into your own as you recalled how he would look at you. It was always filled with so much softness and warmth before he would pull you in close, resting his chin atop your head.
You didnât even realize you had fallen asleep until there was a loud noise from somewhere in the apartment, causing you to jerk up into a sitting position, staring blearily at your door. Your eyes stung from your earlier crying, your skin still sticky from laying on your wet pillow. You rubbed at them while another round of knocking rang through the unit.
Suddenly nervous, you tiptoed down the hall towards your front door, pausing until a voice came amidst another flurry of knocking.
â_____, please, let me in. I--I need ya.â
It was Osamu, and the whole room spun in the dark as you stood staring at the door, unable to process the whole situation. Your pulse was thundering in your ears, your fingers and toes going numb as panic shot through you.
There was more knocking, gentler this time, and then a soft thump.
You stumbled towards the door and swung it open, causing Osamu-- who had apparently let his head fall to the door-- to pitch forward, stumbling into your apartment.
âWhat are you doing here?â you whispered, watching him catch himself from falling. He stood up straight and ran his hands through his hair, eyes wide and frantic in the soft light from the hallway.
âI donât know. I didnât know where else to go-- Kana confessed to cheatinâ finally and I left and just-- ended up here,â he said, falling to the couch. You turned on the light and stood there, uncomprehending.
âYou could have gone to Atsumuâs or-- or Bokutoâs or-- literally anywhere else,â you said, still standing by the lightswitch.
Osamu groaned, raking his fingers through his hair again before lacing his fingers behind his head. His face was hidden in his arms, knuckles white with tension. âI know, I know but I-- I know itâs fucked up but I wanted to see you.â
The room fell into silence again, punctuated by Osamuâs heavy breathing while you lifted a hand to your mouth, staring first at him then down at your feet.
âOsamu, please, I canât--â you whispered, and his head snapped up to look at you.
There was agony in his eyes as he tugged at his hair, standing up. You stepped backwards and met the wall as he advanced on you, hands raising as he came to stand in front of you, cupping your face. âI know, I know it isnât fair. But I need ya to believe how much I missed ya. I made a mistake and I donât know if I can ever make it up to ya. But you are the best thing thatâs ever happened ta me, and I know that now. I should have known before, and âm sorry.â Tears were spilling down your cheeks as you stared up at him, lips parted as you sniffled, and he pressed on. âIâve been thinking about ya everyday for months. Everything Kana did, I compared to you. How she dressed, how she cooked, how she talked, I couldnât help it--â
âThen why did you leave? Why did you cheat on me with her, if you thought so highly of me?â you whispered. His thumbs rubbed at the tears, wiping them away slower than they were falling. You sounded so confused and hurt, shrinking in on yourself as he crowded you against the wall. He didnât care if you kicked him out and told him to never bother you again, so long as he never had to see you like that again.
His throat closed up and he just stared, taking you in. Even crying, even hurting because of him, you were beautiful. Every time he thought of you, it was the image of you walking out of the door and his life, eyes cold and devoid of the love you had once looked at him with.
âBecause Iâm an idiot. I know I am, I knew it the instant I let ya walk out the door. But I was too stupid, too damn prideful ta ask ya to forgive me. And Iâm a selfish bastard for asking ya now, but I canât stop thinkinâ about ya,â he whispered, his hands sliding back into your hair. He tilted your head further back, eyes dipping down to your parted lips, but refrained from the intense urge to kiss you. He couldnât, not until you said he could. âIâll work everyday to make ya trust me again, I swear it, _____. Iâll prove to ya I love ya, just-- please*.â
âI--â you whispered, wrapping your hands around his wrists. Did you want to push him away or pull him closer? The two sides warred with each other, causing you to just stand there in confusion as you stared up at him. His rich brown eyes were glittering, and you searched for any sign of dishonesty in them, but all you found were tears. âI donât know, âSamu. What happens if Kana comes back? If she says she wants you again? How can I trust that you wonât do this to me again*?â
He was already shaking his head, black locks flouncing with the movement, his hand tightening on your cheeks. Panic warred with hope in his chest as he moved impossibly closer, pressing his body to yours as he said, âI promise, I promise, I wonât. Iâm done with âer. I told ya, Iâve not stopped thinkinâ about ya since I left. I thought-- I thought things would change once I settled down with âer but-- they didnât. Even when things were...okay, it was always you. Maybe thatâs why she cheated on me, I donât know. It doesnâ matter ta me anymore, she can do what she wants. All I want is you.â
All your thoughts were swirling and colliding inside your head, overwhelmed by everything he was saying. Osamu was begging for your forgiveness, looking at you with such raw need and hurt that you couldnât stop hope from blooming in your chest. But you tamped it down, not yet letting it take root. You couldnât, wouldnât let yourself fall victim to it yet, not when you were still so unsure.
Reading the indecision in the way you looked away from him, he whispered, âI know itâll take time, and Iâm willinâ to earn ya back, I swear I am. But if ya donât want to, Iâll understand. Iâll walk out that door right now and never bother you again.â
âYou mean it? If I tell you to get out, youâll go?â you asked, watching the pain flare up in his eyes, washing the hope away. His shoulders slumped and he nodded, his hands slipping free of your hair. The way he backed away from you, looking so lost, caused your heart to thump and you stepped forward, closing the distance again. âOsamu, I donât want you to go. I want you to stay, please. At least for tonight, I want--â
I want to be wrapped up in your arms tonight, I want you to love me the way you did before, I want you, you thought, finally letting that hope blossom in your heart. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe you would change your mind tomorrow, maybe he would change his mind tomorrow, but right then and there it didnât matter.
Even if itâs only one last time.
He groaned and dragged you forward, crushing you to his chest and enveloping you in his arms. The familiar smell of confections filled your nose and your legs trembled as he dragged you down the hall to the bedroom while you clung to him, hiding your face in his shirt as your heart raced. If it was a mistake to let him stay, then you were willing to pay the price come the morning, but it felt right as he fell to the bed with you.
He pulled you to his chest, pressing your nose into the column of his throat as he hid his face in your hair. It remained silent between the two of you, the only sound in the room the creaking of the ceiling fan and your quiet breathing as you processed each otherâs presence.
âWill you be here in the morning?â you whispered when it grew to be too much. âIf-- If she* messages you, are you going to leave?â
Your heart skipped a beat when he pulled away and stared down at you.Â
He took in your pale face in the faint moonlight, features pinched and drawn, eyes bright with fear. He rolled over onto his back and pulled you forward onto his chest, arm wrapping tight around your waist to keep you there. Into the dark, he whispered, âI know ya wonât believe me right now, but Iâll be here when ya wake up. Iâll go get my stuff from her place and go stay with âTsumu while I figure out how Iâm goinâ ta win ya back. I wonât let ya down again, _____.â
You continued to stare through the small gap in the curtains, listening to his heart beat erratically in your ear. You wanted to believe his words, wanted to believe you would wake up in his arms tomorrow morning, and hesitantly let yourself relax. It was a gamble, you knew that, in the same way you knew that if he was gone, you would fall apart all over again.
It was a stupid risk, but as your eyes closed, you let yourself believe in him, just one more time.Â
He felt your breathing even out and carded his fingers through your hair as he stared up at the ceiling, holding your head to him as his heart filled with hope. He would prove he meant it, he would earn you back, and he would never, ever* put what he had with you at risk again. Rolling back onto his side, you tried to squirm away only to be pulled back into his arms. Unwilling to let you go, he chuckled when you grumbled before curling into him once more
He sighed as his eyes closed, soaking in the warmth and letting the familiar smell of you envelop him as he fell asleep. Tomorrow you might change your mind, so he would hold you close while he could and let himself hope before it was ripped away from him for the final time.

Love Is In Bloom Chapter 5:Unavoidable Discussions
It's been a month since Rupert and Henry hung out at the carnival, Henry was avoiding Rupert and Rupert was wondering why he was avoiding him. Rupert tried to get Henry to talk to him but Henry would always find some sort of excuse, Rupert was getting pissed off but didn't want to pressured Henry.
Rupert wondered what's going on with Henry, the last time they hung out was...going good. He also wondered what was Henry going to say to him. But there's another thing...Rupert has been having more wet dreams about Henry and that's making Rupert feel something for Henry. Every time he has those dreams, he wake up with a red face and a hard on. He had to take care of his problem in private, Charles and Johnny still haven't figured out his problem.
He didn't want to tell them that he's....uh....how could he put this? He's lusting after Henry Stickmin...? Rupert didn't know but all he knows that he's feeling something for Henry, he just didn't know what it was. There was this one time that he almost got caught jerking off in bed, Johnny for some reason was up early, he decided to wake up Rupert who was already up. Rupert was finishing up masturbating when Johnny tackled him to the ground.
He and Rupert got into fight that lasted for a bout 10 minutes, Charles woke up when he heard the commotion. He saw Rupert holding Johnny in a tight hold while Johnny was struggling to get free, Charles sighed as he watched the fight. It was early in the morning but Charles had to break it off, Rupert went back to his bed to cover his lower half while Johnny had a black eye and was glaring at Rupert.
Rupert chuckled at the memory while he was sitting down on a rock, at least Johnny didn't found about his hard on. Rupert then sigh heavily as a depressing feeling came over him, he missed hanging out with Henry. He got out his phone to checked his messages but no notifications from Henry, Â he sighed again and groaned in annoyance.
Victoria was walking when she saw Rupert having a crisis, she walked over to him. Rupert glanced up at her while he was still scrolling through his phone, she waved hi to him and Rupert did the same thing but only slightly.
"What's wrong, Rupert?" asked Victoria, gently.
"It's...nothing, Victoria" lied Rupert.
"No it isn't."
"How do you know?"
"You're acting like a broody teenager."
"Grrr."
"See? You're acting like a broody teenager."
Rupert sighed again as he rubbed his temples, Victoria giggled slightly. She likes to teased Rupert like she would to a little brother, she ruffled his hair while Rupert was being a grumpy pants.
"But, seriously." said Victoria, tone serious. "What's wrong?"
Rupert thought for a moment and sighed for like the millionth time, "Ok." said Rupert. "If I tell you, can you promise not to tell anyone...especially Henry."
Victoria nodded as she raised an eyebrow, why not Henry? Rupert began to tell his dilemma to Victoria, he explained everything from noticing Henry's strange behavior, to their "date", and his Henry's refusal to speak with him. He's not sure if he should just tell her about his wet dreams and how he took Henry's virginity.
"Wow..." said Victoria, after a moment to process on what she just heard. "That's intense."
"Yeah." agreed Rupert "And there's...more to it."
"Oh?"
"I'm gonna tell you something that not even Johnny and Dave doesn't know."
"Wow, it must be serious."
"Please don't get mad at me for saying this."
"Ok...why?"
"I sorta took Henry's virginity."
Victoria blinked for a moment while she was processing what Rupert just said again, "You did WHAT!?" she bellowed.
Rupert recoiled from her, she looked angry as hell. She groaned in frustration while she pacing around, she stopped to looked at Rupert who was red. She exhaled a sharp breath while she rubbed her temples, "Why?" she asked,lowly.
"I...don't know." answered Rupert, shamefully.
"Geez, Rupert...that's just...why?"
"I don't know! I didn't know when I fucked him that one time, he was a virgin."
"Was it consensual?"
"Yes. I wanted and he wanted it."
"That's all it matters."
"Yeah."
There was a heavy silence afer that, Victoria watched as Rupert put his face into his hands. Victoria sighed as she put a comforting hand on his back, "You have to talk to him." she said, firmly. "It's important."
"Yeah, yer right." said Rupert, as he got up to leave.
Later that night, Henry was getting ready for bed. He was brushing his teeth while he was looking at himself in the mirror, he looked terrible. His hair was messy, his eyes were shadowed and red, and he lost weight making him skinnier than before. His condition worsens after a month, his was coughing more blood and the petals became more connected.
Henry sighed as finished brushing his teeth, he put on his pajamas and was to head to bed when he heard his doorbell ring. Henry groaned in frustration and he headed to the door, he opened the door to find Rupert standing outside in his uniform. "What's he doing here?" Henry thought, annoyed.
"Why are you here?" asked Henry, tiredly.
"I just wanted to see if you were alright." replied Rupert.
"Well, I'm fine." answered Henry, annoyed. "You can go now."
Henry closed the door but in his tiredness, he didn't lock the door. Henry went to bed and closed his eyes, Rupert didn't leave just like Henry thought. He went inside and to his irony, he just broke into Henry's apartment like a thief would. Rupert knew it was wrong but he didn't care, he had to talk to Henry.
Henry was only asleep for like two minutes when he felt his bed dipped, he opened his eyes and looked to his side to find Rupert laying down next to him. He was smirking at him while he had an eyebrow up, Henry blinked for a moment until he shouted "Get out!"
"Oh don't be like that, Henry." teased Rupert, smugly. "Remember the last time we were on a bed together?"
Henry spluttered and covered his face with his hands, "Remember how you sucked my cock? Rupert continued, enjoying Henry's reaction. "And how I fucked you so hard into the mattress to the point that you were screaming my name?
"Stop it!" exclaimed Henry, still blushing furiously.
"Or how I filled you up with my c-"
"Ok! I get the picture!"
Rupert laughed at Henry while he was still red as a tomato, Rupert also noticed that Henry was a little hard. Rupert felt a tightness in pants which suggested he was also hard, Henry sat up and so did Rupert.
"Okay." said Rupert, seriously. "Why did you suddenly leave me after the carnival when Dave appeared?"
Henry didn't answer him as he looked away from him, he didn't want to tell him about his condition. Rupert went up to him and put a hand on his waist, making Henry more red and warm. "Why did you stopped hanging out with me?" asked Rupert, sadly and softly. "Why are you ignoring me?"
Henry still didn't answer him, he still didn't looked at Rupert. He then started to feel a sharp pain his chest, his condition was starting up again.
Henry looked at Rupert angrily and he pushed Rupert to the ground hard, "Get out!" he bellowed. As Rupert landed on the ground, he stared up at Henry in shock. He never expected for Henry to have that much strength, Henry was a skinny guy and had no muscles. He then had a memory triggered into his mind...a memory from his childhood.
Flashback
Young Rupert was playing with his ball when he walked past his dad's office, he heard his dad crying again. He sighed sadly as he kept hearing his dad sobbed, his dad had been sad since his mom left them. He didn't know why his mom left them but he wants her back, he's been so lonely ever since. His dad didn't pay attention to him as much since his mom left...
Rupert quietly went inside his office to try to comfort him, Rodney Price didn't looked up or even hear his son coming into his office. Rodney had his face in his hand with a bottle of whisky on his desk, he stopped sobbing when he felt a hug coming from his left. He looked down to find his son hugging him and saying soothing words, he then snarled at him and slapped him to the floor.
Rupert cried out in pain as he hit the floor, he looked up at his dad in fear and confusion. His dad looked very furious at him, Rupert started to cry when his dad shouted at him in rage.
"It's your fault!" snarled Rodney. "You were a mistake!"
Rupert started sobbed harder, "W-Wh-What did I do wrong?" he cried, desperately.
"If it weren't for you! She would still be here!" shouted Rodney, still in rage.
Rupert kept sobbing as Rodney blamed him for his mother's absence.
End of Flashback
Rupert shook his head as he trembled back into reality, he glanced up at Henry who was staring in shock. Rupert quietly got up to leave Henry's bedroom, Henry watched as Rupert walked out of his bedroom. Henry got up as Rupert reached his front door, Rupert opened the door but turned around to face Henry.
"Goodnight, Henry." said Rupert, lowly. He opened the door and left the apartment, leaving Henry alone.
Henry started shaking and his eyes brimmed with tears, he was crying softly as his pain in his chest worsens.
Meanwhile with Rupert, he walked back to the base slowly. His vision blurred as he felt liquid in his eyes started to brimmed, he then began sobbing.
Some hurts never go away, they stay with us.
A/N:Rodney Price is my oc that was Rupert Priceâs dad and heâs the reason why Rupert has issues.

E studying late in the library, R as the late-night security guard
The only sound that came from the far corner of the second floor of the library was the steady, and occasionally emphatic, clacking of laptop keys as Enjolras hunched over his laptop. He only paused to grab a sip of coffee or swipe a notification from Twitter off of his phone screen, and as the time crept past midnight, he showed no sign of slowing down.
At least, he showed no sign until, without warning, the lights turned off.
Enjolras looked up, his face lit only by his laptop screen. âHello?â he called, but no one answered. âIs anyone there?â
Again, there was no answer, and Enjolras glanced at first the time on his phone screen and then at the document he was working on, which was no closer to being done than it had been when he had started working on it some two hours prior, and he groaned. âGod damnit,â he sighed, standing up and grabbing his phone and, after only a moment of hesitation, his coffee.
He made his way to the stairs, guided by the dim glow of the exit sign. Luckily, the lights were on in the stairwell, and Enjolras made his way to the ground floor. The lights were also off on the first floor, and Enjolras scowled before catching sight of a light from an office behind the circulation desk.
Enjolras stalked over and rapped his knuckles against the desk. âHello?â he called, peering into the office. There was a man in there, lounging in his chair, and Enjolras raised his voice. âExcuse me?â The man did not look up and Enjolras scowled in irritation before practically bellowing, âExcuse me!â
The man startled upright, blinking owlishly through the window at Enjolras before standing and making his way to the office door. âCan I help you?â he asked mildly, which caused Enjolrasâs blood pressure to skyrocket.
âSomeone turned the lights off,â he said stiffly.
The man raised one dark eyebrow. âPardon?â
Enjolras ground his teeth together. âOn the second floor,â he said. âSomeone turned the lights off.â
Leaning casually against the doorway and crossing his arms in front of his chest â Enjolras tried not to stare at how his t-shirt stretched across his chest as he did â the man then had the audacity to smile at him. âIâm sure they did.â
âRight,â Enjolras said, tearing his eyes away from the tattoo on the manâs bicep. âOnly, Iâm trying to get some work done and that normally requires, yâknow, light.â
The man nodded. âOne might think.â
Enjolras counted to five in his head to try and stop from yelling. âAre you going to turn the lights back on?â
The man tugged at the collar of his university t-shirt as he considered it. âNo.â
âWhat?â
âNo, Iâm not going to turn the lights back on.â
Enjolras stared at him, his mouth hanging open, before drawing himself up to glare at him. âAnd why the hell not?â he demanded.
The man shrugged. âLibrary closed at midnight.â
Enjolras blinked. âSince when?â
âSince weâre operating under summer break hours,â the man told him, sounding far too amused, and Enjolras scowled again.
âItâs May.â
The man smiled lazily at him. âYour grasp of the calendar year notwithstanding, the semesterâs over, so the library is no longer open 24/7.â
Enjolras tried very hard not to seethe. âSo youâre kicking me out.â
The man shrugged again. âI mean, Iâm not gonna bodily remove you from the building or something, but yeah, I am gonna ask you nicely to leave, and if you refuse, Iâll probably have to call campus security.â
Enjolrasâs brow furrowed. âYouâre not campus security?â
âIâm library security,â the man corrected. âThereâs a difference.â
âWhatâs the difference?â Enjolras asked sourly.
âSlightly less fascist,â the man said cheerfully, and Enjolras almost smiled. Keyword being almost. âAlso Iâm a student, and mostly Iâm here to make sure folks swipe their IDs when they come in and to stop folks from walking out with books they havenât checked out.â
Enjolras cocked his head. âAnd whatâs the punishment for that?â
âNormally me escorting them to the checkout counter so that they can check them out.â
Enjolras huffed a dry laugh. âIâm not getting the vibe that you have a lot of authority here.â
The man chuckled. âThatâs because I donât.â He hesitated before adding, âMy nameâs Grantaire. And you areâŠ?â
âNot sharing my name to prevent you from sharing it with campus security,â Enjolras replied coolly.
Grantaire grinned. âThatâs a mouthful, your parents mustâve really hated you.â
Enjolras smiled slightly as well. âI mean, they did, but not for that reason.â
Grantaire took a step towards him. âIf I promise not to report you, will you tell me your name?â
âHow about you turn the lights on the second floor back on?â Enjolras countered.
âTheyâre on a timer, and I donât have the means of overriding it, so unless you want me to stand up there holding my flashlight up for you to read byâŠâ
Enjolras smirked. âNow that is a tempting thought.â
Grantaire gave him what Enjolras imagined he thought of as a pleading look. âCâmon, tell your name. I can go through the records of ID swipes, but Iâd really rather not have to take that kind of time.â
âWhy do you want to know my name so badly?â Enjolras asked.
âBecause I have a feeling Iâm going to be seeing a lot of you this summer,â Grantaire said archly. âBesides, I like to know the name of the cute guy Iâve been flirting with for the last fifteen minutes.â
Enjolras opened his mouth to scoff, or to tell him that this wasnât flirting, or to do any number of things to rebuff the implication, but instead, what came out was, âEnjolras.â
Grantaire blinked. âIâm sorry?â
âMy name is Enjolras.â
âEnjolras,â Grantaire repeated, a slow smile crossing his face. âWow, your parents really did hate you.â
âAlmost as much as yours,â Enjolras shot back, ânaming you Grantaire.â
Grantaire laughed. âLike you said, mine did too, but not because of the name.â He hesitated. âWhy donât you work down here?â
Enjolras blinked. âWhat?â
âI canât turn the lights back on upstairs, and the only lights are going to be in stairwells or around emergency exits, or here, at my desk. As comfortable as I imagine studying in the stairwell would be, Iâm pretty sure I can rustle up another chair for you.â
The offer took him by surprise, and Enjolras hesitated, trying to find a good reason not to and coming up short. âAre you going to watch TV all night?â
Grantaire shrugged. âMaybe. But I can put some headphones on if itâll bother you.â
Enjolrasâs eyes narrowed. âDonât you sort of need to pay attention to the security of the building?â
âYes, because Iâm sure all of the students who have gone home for the summer are planning to break into the library,â Grantaire said dryly.
Enjolras laughed lightly. âWell, when you put it like thatâŠâ
Grantaire perked up. âSo is that a yes?â
Enjolras hesitated for only a moment more before jerking a nod. âLet me grab my stuff.â
Grantaire grinned. Iâll be here.â
âIâm sure you will,â Enjolras muttered, turning around to grab his things from upstairs. He knew that he should just go home, or maybe move to Starbucks or the student union, both of which he was pretty sure were still open 24/7.
But if he was being honest, he was mostly just working to have something to do while he waited for Combeferre and Courfeyrac to get back to campus. And besides, whether or not it was flirting, if Enjolras was being entirely honest, he hadnât entirely hated the conversation heâd had with Grantaire.
Even if Grantaire was two steps away from being a fascist cop.
His mind made up, Enjolras gathering his belongings and made his way back to the circulation desk, letting himself behind the desk and joining Grantaire back in the office, where, true to his word, Grantaire had procured another chair. âVoila,â Grantaire said, grinning up at him, and Enjolras set his stuff down on the desk, glancing at the computer screen, which was paused on an advertisement.
âWhat are you watching?â he asked.
Grantaire glanced at the computer as if heâd completely forgotten he was watching anything. âOh, uh, Brooklyn Nine-Nine.â
âSeriously?â Enjolras demanded.
âYeah, well, itâs quite popularââ
Enjolras snorted. âSure, itâs copaganda repackaged into a sitcom, whatâs not to love?â
Grantaire whistled lowly. âWow, you must be fun at parties.â
âI make it my business not to attend too many parties,â Enjolras retorted.
Grantaire looked amused. âIâm not entirely sure thatâs the comeback you think it is.â
Enjolras had realized the same thing, and flushed slightly. âSeriously, though, donât you understand what role shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine or Law & Order orââ
âOr Chicago PD or NCIS or CSI when it was still airing,â Grantaire continued, nodding officiously.
Enjolras glared at him. âMy point,â he said icily, âis that these shows have engendered in the American public a tacit complicity in the ever-expanding and increasing militarization of our police.â
Grantaire nodded. âThey sure do.â
âYou agree with me?â Enjolras asked.
Grantaire raised an eyebrow. âThat surprises you?â
Enjolras shrugged. âI mean, I was expecting even boilerplate pushback about how itâs âjust a showâ or something like that.â
âEntertainment is as much a reflection of society as it is a tool to shape it,â Grantaire said, propping his feet up on the desk. âOnly an idiot would argue against that.â
âAnd Iâm meant to believe youâre no idiot,â Enjolras said dryly. âSo then are you just...ok with the militarization of our police?â
Grantaire sighed. âOf course not.â
âOk, so you acknowledge the role shows like this play, and you are against said role, but youâre watching it anyway?â
Grantaire considered it for a moment. âYeah, sounds about right,â he said cheerfully.
Enjolras stared at him. âBut...why?â
âBecause I believe you can critically engage with the media you consume while also, yâknow, consuming it,â Grantaire said. âBesides, itâs funny.â Enjolras shook his head slowly but Grantaire didnât let him speak, instead patting the seat next to him invitingly. âLook, you and I can and probably will argue about this all night, but how about you sit for it? Iâm getting a crick in my neck looking up at you.â
Enjolrasâs eyes narrowed. âMaybe thatâs not such a bad thing.â
âReally?â Grantaire asked mildly. âI would think you of all people would be more in favor of an egalitarian seating arrangement.â
Even though Enjolras glared at him, he nonetheless sat down. âFine,â he said stiffly. âBut donât think that this conversation is done.â
Grantaire grinned at him. âI wouldnât dream of it. Besides, Iâve got all night. Are you going somewhere?â
This time, Enjolras didnât hesitate. âIâm not going anywhere.â

Donât Go | Nathan Bateman | Ex Machina
Summary: One difficult boss, one contraband cat, and a whole lot of emotional turmoil. Thatâs your life these days. When you leave for a few months to get things settled back home before moving into the facility officially, Nathan doesnât cope with your absence well. Upon your return you have to deal with Nathan being moodier than ever, hiding your cat Baxter in your room, and sorting out just what your relationship with Nathan is. [Light Angst] [Swearing] [Insecurity] [Daddy Kink if you squint] [Fluff] [No use of Y/N] [Sexual/Flirting Situations] [F!ReaderxNathan] [Assistant!Reader]Â
Word Count: 5.2k
|Masterlist In Bio|
Four months. You're gone from Nathan's facility for four months while sorting out fully moving to Alaska with him, closing your leased apartment, and finding a home for your cat. Everything was squared away finally. All of your furniture and non personal items were sold and you were ready to move into his place in the middle of nowhere. Of course you couldn't find a home for Baxter, your cat, and you refused to put him up for adoption, so he was coming with you.Â
Nathan didn't want a cat he explicitly said don't bring him but here you are in the helicopter with your bags and totes full of what you have left of your old life, and strapped in the back is Baxter in his tan cat carrier. You had to get special medication to help him stay calm but it was worth it. Surely Nathan won't kick him out once you've snuck him in. You'll just keep him in your room.Â
You never see Nathan. He didn't help you carry everything in, he never saw Baxter, he didn't even leave a message. It's not until after you've unpacked the essentials and gotten Baxter settled into the bedroom that Nathan calls to you on the intercom system.Â
"Meet me on the deck."
You jump, startled by the sudden break in silence. You slip out the door quickly to keep Baxter inside and head for the outdoor deck where the punching bag is hung. You round the corner of the kitchen and stop dead, eyes on the man on the deck, back to you.Â
"Nathan?" You call out, walking forward carefully. It can't be. This man has hair. Quite a bit actually. But it looks like Nathan from the back. That is surely his ass.Â
Nathan turns around and oh, it's definitely him. He looks so different without the buzzcut, he looks softer, sweeter. "About time you came back."
"Did I miss a day of work?" You roll your eyes. He may look softer but that snippy attitude was ever prominent. "Don't act like you missed me."
"You worked? I barely noticed." He quips, stepping down and unwrapping his hands.
You fold your arms. "So you just remembered to go shopping for groceries, to get your hand wraps, and to get the mineral water from the specialty place on your own? You just remembered that you had to eat every day? You don't need an assistant?"
"I'm an adult. Of course I can do all of that without you."
"So you definitely didn't use those alarms and reminders I set?"
He scoffs.
"Oh no, you did." You click your tongue. "Because they're linked to my tasks app and every time you shut one off I got a notification. And look!" You gesture to him. "You're not starved to death or bloody knuckled from training with no wraps!"Â
Nathan rolls his eyes.Â
"No come back?"Â
"Fuck off." He sneers, grabbing his glasses off the table.Â
You walk around the table and run a hand over his hair. "What's this?"
"Hair?" He pushes your hand away.Â
"You've never had hair. Ever." You shove your hand back into his hair. It's short, but long enough you can grip the top. Curly, thick, dark. It's beautiful. It must grow like a weed, and with his genetics, you're not surprised it's this long in only four months. "Why now?"Â
Nathan growls, shoving you back away from him gently. "Quit touching it!"Â
"Then answer my questions!"Â
"Fuck you!"Â
"Fuck you too, Nathan!"
He narrows his eyes at you, glaring daggers. This is how it always is with him. Constant fighting about stupid shit because he doesn't know how to express himself around another human being eighty percent of the time. You're sure it's why he hired you, so he didn't go feral out here on his own. The other twenty percent of the time he is bearable and you actually really like that twenty percent.Â
You let out a soft sigh and relax your shoulders. Yelling at each other isn't going to get you anywhere right now. You'll take the initiative and soothe the room. "Did your clippers break?"Â
"Yeah." He grumbles, no longer looking at you, but to the bar behind the dining table.Â
"And you didn't buy a new one when you went for groceries?"Â
"I didn't go."
"What?"Â
"I didn't go for groceries."
You close the gap and step in front of his line of sight. "Nathan, what have you been surviving on?"
"What was left. I've got some MREs in the office for emergencies. Well, I did." He runs a hand through his hair and turns away. "I'm fine. I'm alive, obviously."Â
"So you just dismissed my alarms? Why didn't you go? I know the flight is a pain in the ass but it's better than starving. Is there nothing left?"
He walks out of the room, toward the kitchen.Â
"Nathan!" You groan and let out a yell of frustration. If he ate everything and didn't replenish anything, then you're going to have to call the pilot back tomorrow and ride another two hours into the city, go shopping, then ride two hours back.Â
"Fuck!"
_____________________
After a grueling day of travel and shopping you start making dinner. You've not seen hide or hair of Nathan since you found out he's been barely living for the last four months. You can't fathom why he wouldn't go out, why he wouldn't even get you to bring him something. Sure you were in Seattle for the time you were gone but you probably could have managed to get on a plane and bring him some protein bars. It just kills you, knowing he just let himself suffer. But why? To prove a point? What was it?
"Dinner is almost ready." You say, pressing the talk button on the kitchen com system. He probably isn't listening but it's worth a try. The man must be desperate for a real meal.Â
As soon as you get everything plated, on the table and glasses of wine poured, Nathan appears. You can only assume he watched you on the cameras, so he knew exactly when to show up. He is always checking in on you with those cameras. It was alarming at first, when you arrived about a year ago now. But these days it's alright, a sense of security, knowing that if something were to happen he would be there in a heartbeat.Â
"Steak, spinach salad with bleu cheese, and a potato." You say softly, presenting the food like a gameshow host with your hand as he sits down.Â
"I can see what it is."
"Mmhmm." You stuff a fork full of spinach in your mouth. "Can you see the poison then?"
A small smile plays at the corners of his lips and you don't miss it for a millisecond. "Must be tucked into the cheese crumbles."
You grin around the rim of your wine glass. "Soaked the steak in it actually."Â
"Clever." He mutters dully, biting a piece of said steak off his fork.Â
You eat a few more bites in silence, just staring awkwardly at each other. You have so many questions about what he was doing while you were gone. But you know he won't answer them, not now at least. He will have to be exhausted or perhaps less sober. That actually is another question. Has he been sober for all this time? Or did he ration his alcohol?
"Good food?"Â
"Fucking amazing." He says, voice barely above a whisper.
"Oh?"
"Yeah." He rubs his last bite of meat around in the bleu cheese. "You can cook like no other."
You feel a flush rise in your chest. "I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me."Â
"Don't get used to it."Â
"Oh I won't."Â
Nathan stands and takes his plate to the kitchen. "Did you get my shaver?"Â
"Yes." You follow close behind and drop your plate in the sink beside his. "But I like it."Â
"What?"Â
"Your hair. I like it." You lean against the counter and he runs a hand over his head. "It looks... different."
Nathan rolls his eyes.Â
"It's up to you, obviously. I'm sure you keep it shaved for whatever reason." You shrug and look away from him. "The shaver is in your bathroom."
"Thanks." He mutters and heads off into the house. He's going to the lab no doubt.Â

Finally two weeks later. Nathan is wasted. Gobsmacked, shit faced and three sheets to the wind. You got an allegory for it, that is this man right this second. Your chance is now, you can get his ass on the spot and start interrogating him. Well. That is if you can get him out of his lab.Â
"Nathan, I have something for you." You coo softly into the com beside the door to his lab. "Something you'll like."
"Go away."
"Come on!"Â
"Unless you're out there in some red panties and stockings then I'm not coming out."
You flush and close your eyes. He did not just say that. Surely he cannot mean that he actually wants to see you like that. God that's hot. Does he really want to see you like that? No. He's your boss.Â
"What if I am?"Â
"You're not."
"I could be."
"You aren't. Fuck off."
"You wanna see me all undressed hmm?"Â
Nathan groans and opens the door, glaring you down. "You lied. Fuck off."
"No, I never said I was out here undressed. But now I have you." You shove your way into the lab office and plop down on his sofa. "You're not gonna get rid of me."Â
Nathan stands at the door and sways on his feet. He seemingly is perplexed how you managed to overcome him and slip into his space. "You're a pain the ass."
"Mmm and you're a thorn in my side." You lay back on the sofa, and prop your legs up on the armrest. "C'mere, I wanna talk."Â
"You wanna talk? What do I look like? One of your gal pals?"Â
"Maybe with a little mascara, some eight inch pumps...yeah."
"I'll give you eight inches alright." He sinks into his desk chair and grabs a bottle from the desk to press to his lips. "What do you want?"Â
You sit up and brace your elbows on your knees. "I want to know why you didn't leave here in four months."
"I didn't need to."Â
"Nathan, you were living on MRE rations like a bunker crazed maniac. You barely called me, and when you did it sounded like you were doing fine. What happened?"Â
"You left."
"Yeah?" You chuckle softly. "I had to settle things back home. I told you that, you knew where I went."Â
Nathan takes his glasses off and sets them aside. "I think...I think I rabbit holed into my insecurities and loneliness."
You raise your eyebrows. This is going deeper than you imagined it would. "Okay. How so?"Â
He tips the bottle up against his lips. "I thought, well maybe you wouldn't come back. Why would you? You got out, I let you go willingly. I felt like I just deserved to suffer alone." He shakes his head.Â
"Nathan, why didn't you tell me this sooner?"Â
"And make me look like a desperate fucking idiot? How would that look? Desperate lonely billionaire misses assistant so much he begs her to come back."Â
"So you did miss me."
"Fuck." He rubs his palm into his eye and lets out a yell of frustration. "You're the only person I've had proper physical contact with in like three years, I've gotten attached to you, and you just don't even understand how messed up I am!"
You stand and walk over to him. "Nathan, do you have feelings for me?"Â
He stares up at you, and sets his bottle aside. It's sloshes, mostly empty. "Don't play with me."
"No one's playing."
"You hate me. I'm so mean to you, and I yell at you and piss you off everyday."
You chuckle softly. "Oh yeah, that's all true. But when you're not being difficult, that's when you're incredible. You're so hot and cold I should have run away but somehow I still wanted to come home."
"Home?"
"Yeah." You run your hand over his hair and his head slumps forward. He hasn't shaved it off. It's been a few days. "You're insufferable but I can't get enough. I love how you talk, how you think, how you are always making sure I'm comfortable and happy even if you think I don't notice. I love how you look at me, glancing to make sure I'm still there, to make sure I'm real. I know how you need me."
"Don't want you to leave." He mutters, eyes heavy.Â
"I'm not leaving." You kneel down, arms across his lap and he looks at you, hand going to your cheek.
He strokes his thumb over your lower lip. "Be my good girl."
"Nathan," you whisper and your heart threatens to explode and you're flushing, heat pooling between your legs. "You're really out of it."
He smiles lopsidedly, pressing his thumb between your lips and you open your mouth automatically.Â
You lick the pad of his thumb and give a quick suck before pulling back and standing up. "You're way too drunk."Â
"Come back here."
"I'm going to bed." You lick your lip, the taste of his thumb is salty. If he weren't wasted you would consider exploring this further. You've wondered if there would be more between the two of you. It felt natural. But he's your boss. This is your job and as much as you would like to be more with Nathan you know this has to end here. He's not a relationship guy.Â
Nathan pushes up from his chair and slumps over onto the couch. God he's fucking gone. He won't even remember this in the morning. It's for the best.Â
"Good night."Â
_____________________
You make your way to Nathan's room with a bottle of water, two Tylenol and a banana. He's going to be so hungover it's not funny. You hadn't realized how much he was drinking until you found the empty bottle of vodka in the kitchen trash can and the rest of a small bottle of whiskey in the office trash and you had only bought both just the other day. Not to mention all the beers he sucked down while in the lab, a good six of the eight pack. Oh boy is he going to be hurting.Â
"Nathan, hey," you call softly, sinking down beside him on his bed. "It's almost noon."
"Lea'me 'lone." He grumbles into his pillow, wrapping his arms around it tightly.Â
You run a hand up his back, settling between his shoulder blades. "I brought water and a snack."Â
He turns his head, face smushed into the pillows as he looks at you. "What happened last night?"Â
"You got very drunk and drank literally everything we had. I'm not sure how you're alive."Â
"Did I do anything?"Â
"Nothing I wouldn't expect of you."Â
He shoots you a leery glare. "The fuck's that mean?"Â
You shake your head. He doesn't need to know he started spilling his guts and coming on to you more than playfully. "Nothing. You were a dick."
"I'm always a dick sweetheart. I told you that when you started."
"You did." You rub his shoulder and he groans. "Come on, get up. Have your banana, pills and water. Get a shower. You've got a video call in an hour."
"Oh fuck off." He presses his face into the pillows. "Attend for me. I want to sleep."
"It needs to be you. It's an HR meeting about hiring new staff to run diagnostics on Blue Book backlog data."
Nathan grumbles unintelligibly.Â
"I'll make your favorite lunch."Â
"Mm'not hungry."
"I'll join you in the shower."Â
He pushes up fast, nearly knocking the Tylenol from your hand. "No take backs."Â
"Nathan! I'm not actually going to shower with you! You're my boss for God's sake. I just said it for shock value to get you to roll your hungover ass out of bed. Shit."
"Yeah but no take backs." He grins and swallows back the pills you hand him. "Come on, it's not like you haven't seen me naked."
"Uh no, I most certainly have not."
"Oh yeah you have." He smirks, eyes holding yours in a challenging gaze. "You liked it too."
"What?!" You shove him and stand up, throwing the banana at his lap. "Eat your snack and get your shit together. I'm going to take a hike."Â
Nathan rips his banana top off to peel it and takes a bite. "You're not gonna set up the meeting stuff?"Â
"You just turn on your webcam when they call, Nathan."
"What if I need help?" He says teasingly. "You're my assistant after all."
You pinch the bridge of your nose. "Would you like me to wait until they call? You want me to stand beside your desk and click the button to answer with a video camera on? Is that it?"Â
"You could sit on my lap." He pats his legs. "Keep it nice and warm for me."
You twist your face quickly into an expression of distaste before a flush begins to heat your skin. This is just Nathan. He isn't flirting. He's being an asshole to get a reaction from you. He's like a child. Don't reward bad behavior.Â
"Oh you're thinking about it." He murmurs, voice dropping lower than usual. It's almost sultry. You've not heard this tone but maybe once before. "You wanna fuck your boss don't you?"
"Absolutely not." You grip the side of the door a little harsher than you mean to. Just another step and you're out of the room. Away from his eyes. Fuck. His eyes. What is that look for? It's so...commanding.Â
Nathan presses the door closed and you lean against it. "You're a horrible liar."
"You're projecting."
"Am I? Or were you on your knees in front of me last night?" He raises his eyebrows. "Oh you think I don't remember? That's cute."
"You know that isn't what happened."Â
"I know you let me put my thumb in your mouth. I know you licked it, sucked it, willingly." He catches your chin between his thumb and forefinger. "You really want me don't you?"Â
You narrow your eyes. "Maybe I want you, but I have morals. You're my boss, I'm not going to just fuck you for no reason and I intend on keeping it that way."
Nathan drops his hand from your face. "You'll come around. You can be my employee and still fuck me. I'll allow it."
"Yeah, whatever." You pull the door open and he steps back. "Go shower. You've wasted enough time."
_____________________
 Days later you go for a supply run and come home late in the afternoon. As you haul the bags from the cart you use to get them from the helicopter to the front door you see Baxter on the sofa in the living room. He's curled up, the fireplace is on, he's living his best life. Wait. Baxter. No.Â
"Bax what are you doing in here?!" You set the bags down and hurry to the fireplace to snatch the little gray cat up from his warm nap spot. "How did you-"
"You're back." Nathan says sleepily from the couch. He sits up and runs a hand through his hair. God it looks so good, it's gotten longer you swear and fuck the curls are just maddening. "You wanna tell me something?"Â
"I'm sorry. I couldn't leave him with anyone and he is like my child. I couldn't just abandon him." You cradle Baxter against your chest. "I'll leave, if I have to. You can fire me."
Nathan chuckles softly. "Fire you? For having a cat?"Â
"You said he couldn't come with me. You specifically said no pets under any circumstances."
"Yeah, but maybe I can make an exception for this guy."Â
You set Baxter down as he begins to squirm. He hurries over to Nathan and winds around his legs.Â
"Come here." Nathan pats his lap. "Come see daddy."Â
Baxter jumps up and curls up on Nathan's lap, head butting his hand for attention. It's the most bizarre thing. Baxter has never taken a liking to anyone this fast. It's as if he's been living with Nathan for weeks.Â
"He never likes people like this. What did you do to him?"Â
Nathan strokes his hand down Baxter's back and massages his ears. "I didn't do anything. I gave him affection."
"How did you find him?"Â
"He's loud." Nathan laughs, looking at you with a soft smile. "You were on a walk in the woods and I heard him crying one day-"
"Wait what? You've known about him before today?"
"Yes." He gives you a look that says you're not fooling anyone. "I've been seeing him for days now. Almost two weeks."
You groan and press your back against the fireplace. "Why didn't you say anything?"
"I wanted you to tell me. I wanted to see how long you thought you could lie to me."
"I didn't lie. I never said he wasn't here."
"Very true."
"So he was meowing? That's how you found him?"Â
"Mmhmm." Nathan chuckles again. "You must have forgotten to feed him before your walk. Because as soon as I gave him food he was happy."
"Fuck. I probably did." You sigh and laugh softly at yourself. "I'm terrible at hiding things."
"Yes you are." His eyes catch yours and you glare at him. "What's the look for? You jealous?" He pats his leg where Baxter isn't stretched out. "You wanna sit on Daddy's lap too?"
You cover your face with your hand. "For fucks sake you're a freak. No, I would not like to sit. I'd like help with these groceries." You point to the long forgotten bags by the door.Â
Nathan peeks over the back of the couch.Â
"Come on," you shoo Baxter off his lap and as you turn away to go get the bags, Nathan pulls you backwards down onto his legs. "Nathan."
He chuckles deeply against your back. "What?"
"I'm not sitting on your lap."
"Mmm, yes you are."Â
"Nathan," you sigh softly and stand up just long enough to turn around and straddle his legs, facing him on the couch. It stuns him silent for a second as he stares up at you in bewilderment. "This what you want?"
He grins big, hands running up your thighs. "Just remember that you escalated this, not me."
"I just sat down."
"Oh no sweetheart, you sat down with a purpose." He pulls you flush against him. "I thought you had morals."
"I do." You lean in and his lips part instinctively. "I haven't done anything against them."
Nathan grips your ass and you collapse against him, foreheads together. "You're pushing it."
"I just wanna see you weak, Bateman."
He narrows his eyes and shoves you off his lap. "Little late for that." He mutters as he retreats into the house and you climb up off the floor. If he thinks you're not going to push him to admit he wants you more than sex then he has something else coming.Â
_____________________
Two days later you're making breakfast and out of the corner of your eye you see Nathan walk in. You pay no mind. It's not unusual that he comes and grabs a water or a cup of tea before breakfast. You turn, plates in hand to put the eggs on and the moment you see Nathan you drop them.Â
He shaved. Holy fucking shit he shaved his beard very close and his hair is still grown out. He doesn't have his glasses on and who...who the fuck is this? How does one person literally shapeshift?Â
"Oh fuck, are you okay?" Nathan looks down at the shattered plates. "What happened?"Â
"What- you! What happened?!" You gesture wildly to his face. "Who are you?!"Â
He laughs, straight up laughs at you. "Is it that bad?"
"Bad? I wouldn't call it bad." You run a hand over your hair and look around for a tea towel to pick the glass up with safely. "It's not bad." You can't help but continuously glance at him.Â
Nathan grabs a large bowl from the cabinet on his side of the kitchen and you both kneel down to clean up the glass. "You like it."Â
"It's different."
"Good different."
"Yeah." You sit back on your heels and take another good look. "I almost couldn't believe it was you."Â
Nathan drops the last piece of glass into the bowl and brushes his hands off on his sweater. "It's been a while since I went this short. Ten years maybe."
"Damn."
He smiles and it's like he's a different man. You cannot stop staring. It's all familiar, like if you were seeing his brother, or maybe twin. It's the same teeth, same turn of his lips, but that beard being nearly gone makes him so...fucking attractive. Not that he wasn't attractive before, you dug the buzzcut and beard combo, you dug the beard and grown out hair combo. But this is...this is hard.
"Hey, your eggs are burning."Â
"What! Fuck!" You scramble to your feet and sure enough the sunny side up eggs are hard yolked and brown around the edges.Â
Nathan dumps the bowl of glass in the trash and places the bowl in the sink. "Let me make something."
"I- what? You?"
"Yeah." He wraps his hand around yours on the pan handle and moves it back off of the burner. "I can cook y'know. I did it a lot before you moved in."
You step back and let him carry the pan to the trash. "Is it April fool's day?"Â
"No? It's November."Â
"You're being nice to me."
"Am I?"Â
"Yes?" You fold your arms across your chest. "Suspiciously nice."
Nathan turns and quirks one eyebrow up. "Suspiciously nice? I don't think I'm being suspiciously nice. Maybe...considerate."
"Not a word I would associate with you either."Â
"Well, I can just have a power bar and get out of your way if you like." He folds his arms, mimicking your pose.Â
You chew on your lip. "Are you okay? Seriously, you've never offered to cook and you've managed to not insult me for a solid ten minutes. You even helped me clean up the glass. You're not...you."
"I had a good night's sleep."
"So you've been a dick because you haven't slept properly since I met you?"Â
"Maybe."Â
"Maybe? Okay y'know what." You raise your hands and let out a little laugh. "I get it. You are trying to get me to sleep with you. You have been for weeks and I can't just sleep with someone without being in a relationship. You've changed your appearance, knowing I'd like it. You're being nice, acting like you're some normal guy as if you think I'm into that. You just want to get in my pants so bad that-"Â
"Or maybe I am trying to be a better person because I realized I'm going to run you out of my life if I keep being the way I am." He runs a hand over his hair and tugs. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come on so strong."
You're floored. He's left you speechless. Never has he said he's sorry, for anything.Â
"You don't have to say anything. It's fine. I understand that I'm a lot to handle. You have been so patient, and understanding in this last year, and you go toe to toe with me and you don't stand for my shit, so I think you must have been put in my life to force me to make a change. I've been trying to get in your pants, yes, but I don't just want that. I want you."Â
"Oh."
"I've been thinking about this since you left, and even since you came back. It's consumed me for the last five months and I-" He bites his lip and looks away from you. "I'm in love with you."
Your eyes widen. "You....Nathan..."
"It's fine, I understand if you don't love me. I've been awful and selfish and-"Â
"You're really in love with me?"
"I don't waste words, you know that."Â
You step forward and reach out to touch his cheek. The beard is so short, still there, but not bushy in the least. "I love you too. Even if you're a pain in the ass and a little egotistical."Â
"So I don't have to be disgustingly nice?"
"I didn't fall for disgustingly nice Nathan."
"Thank fuckin God." He grabs your hips and pulls you against him. "Felt like I was playing house."Â
You giggle and he groans. "Nathan."
"I love your laugh." He grips your hair and tilts your head back, kissing your throat. "I love how you say my name."Â
A little moan escapes your lips as he scrapes his teeth along your neck. "Hey, easy, relationship first and sex later."
"Mmm. What do you want sweetheart? A date? Gifts? Long walks in the moonlight?" He leans back and looks at you. "I've got a proposal for you."
"What's that?"Â
"Be my girlfriend. No, be my wife." He bites his lip and cradles your face. "Yeah, you'd be a damn good wife."
You raise your eyebrows. "Not sure I like the implications of that."Â
"You don't like the implication that you'll be the richest woman in this country, own half of Blue Book, have everything you could ever want, and be a goddess to a god?"Â
"A goddess to a god huh?"Â
He smiles and presses his head against yours. "That's right. Besides, we already have a kid."Â
"We do?"
"Mmhmm. Baxter. I'm his daddy and he knows it."
"Oh hell. Shut up." You roll your eyes.Â
"I'm your daddy too." He hauls you against him, hands on your ass. "You like it, admit it."
"No!"Â
"Yeah you do." He kisses across your jaw and down your neck. "It's okay, it's just us you can admit it." His tongue lavishes against your sensitive pulse point. "Come on, tell me you like it."
"Nathan," you moan softly and he rolls his hips against you. "Please."
"Just say it."Â
"Never."
He chuckles and pulls back, leaving your neck damp and aching. "I'll get it out of you. I know you wanna say it but you're too shy." He bumps his nose against yours and your head swims "I will bide my time."
"Yeah, a long time." You press your lips to his and he hums softly. "I'll think about your proposal."
He chases your lips as you pull back. "I'll be waiting."
"Relationship first." You run a hand over his hair and push him back. "Gotta show me you truly want more than what's in my pants."Â
"Absolutely." He pushes his sleeves up. "I'll be the best husband."Â
"Let's stick to boyfriend for now."
"Husband sounds better." He grabs a clean pan from the rack over the stove. "So, breakfast?"Â
You hop up on the counter and watch as he moves about easily. "I'll take whatever you got."
"I've got a lot." He smirks and you roll your eyes. "But let's start with breakfast."
"Yeah, let's."
EndÂ

Nobody Listens to Kix
Previous | Next | Masterlist
Case 01132: Crosshair
Kix shifted impatiently as he watched the small fleet of ships - smaller than it had been when it left the Republic base - drift gently into the hangar bay. He had gotten a notification from General Kenobi to be on-call. The situation on Anaxes had been resolved with only minor casualties, but it never hurt to be prepared.
When the ships settled to rest on the ground, several men around Kix grumbled that it was a good thing the Bad Batch hadn't been flying. Apparently, they had already earned a reputation for landing with more speed than skill. Their last landing had nearly caused what would have been the single largest loss of Republic troops since Geonosis.
The men began exiting the LAAT/i closest to Kix and he found himself looking at Echo. Kix had thoroughly examined his presumed-dead brother when he returned from Skako Minor. The trooper had been in bad shape, but Kix had to admit that the cybernetic work the Separatists had done was top-notch. Other than malnourishment and some overloaded circuitry - most likely damaged during the rescue - Echo had been in surprisingly good health.
Still, Echo's face was pale and angular, cheekbones jutting out in a way that seemed almost painful. He walked slowly, carefully⊠It always seemed as though he were waiting for something to take his legs out from under him.
Even as Kix watched, Echo stumbled and was supported by Rex, who had thrown out an arm immediately to catch him.
Kix rushed forward, ignoring the dust thrown into the air by the other LAAT/i ships landing nearby. "What happened?" he asked immediately.
Echo glanced up at him, his light brown eyes looking even lighter in his sallow face, and simply shook his head. Kix's heart sank and he looked sharply to the captain.
"Echo plugged into the Seppie's system and sent them the wrong battle plans before putting a surge through to disable their clankers," Rex explained heavily. "It worked perfectly, but they isolated the signal and sent a surge back. It gave him a pretty good shock."
Kix grimaced. "Let's get you to the hangar medbay, Echo. I'll need to do a full diagnostic check."
"Aw, leave him alone," Wrecker grumbled from behind them. "He's awake now, isn't he?"
"It knocked you unconscious?" Kix asked immediately.
"Yeah," Echo admitted lowly.
After making sure that Rex had a good hold on his injured brother, Kix turned to look at the Bad Batch. "Unconsciousness is always something to worry about. I'll need to do a full scan to make sure everything is okay. The three of you should come in for checks as well."
"Er⊠don't you mean four?" Hunter asked slowly, staring around at the other men of Clone Force 99.
"No, I don't. Three of you have a choice, but I see Crosshair's injury no matter how well he thinks he's hiding it. Follow us to the medbay, trooper."
"I'll be fine," Crosshair snarked.
"That's the spirit," Kix encouraged, even as he turned his attention back to helping Echo. "I'm an excellent medic and I can treat whatever injury you sustained. You certainly will be fine."
"I get the sense that you didn't make any friends there, Kix," Rex warned lowly, following Kix into the building.
"I'm a medic, sir," Kix reminded. "My business is caring for the men's health, not being their favorite person."
As they walked toward the hangar, Kix could hear a soft argument break out between Hunter and Crosshair, but Rex, Echo, and Kix had only just stepped into the medbay when the sniper slouched in behind them.
Scanning them was a moment's work. Rex was in perfect health other than a touch of fatigue and was immediately discharged from the medbay. Echo's nervous system showed signs of stress and there were minor burns on the segment of his arm that was connected to the data probe that had received the shock. Kix bandaged the burns and administered a mild set of pain meds before settling him into a bed. Finally, he moved his attention to Crosshair.
The serious trooper hadn't removed a single piece of his armor, but Kix didn't bother asking. Instead, he turned the power up on the scanner and scanned Crosshair's body from head to feet and back up. He ran the scanner carefully over the sniper's right elbow, where he had first seen the signs of an injury.
"You have a blaster wound piercing your anconeus muscle," Kix revealed.
"And here I thought I was just outgrowing my armor," Crosshair said dryly.
Kix surveyed the sniper without commenting, but he knew the message came through clearly enough: Crosshair had a slight build for a trooper. The idea of him outgrowing his armor in any capacity was laughable.
As Crosshair watched Kix's unspoken insult, his jaw tightened until Kix worried he would have to pull the splinters of the brother's toothpick from his mouth. To stop the unnecessary theatrics, Kix said, "As a sniper, you know that your anconeus is pretty important to the shooting process. Are you going to let me treat it?"
Crosshair blinked in surprise, but tried to hide the reaction. "Are you saying you're gonna give me a choice?"
"I don't like forcing my brothers into treatment," Kix said evasively.
Seeming to realize that it wasn't an answer, Crosshair narrowed his eyes, but gave a single nod.
"Good," Kix said. "Remove your shoulder armor and both sets of arm plates, then sit down. I'll be back with the necessary supplies."
It took a little bit longer to find what he needed in the unfamiliar medbay, but Kix managed, passing by a now-sleeping Echo to get to where Crosshair waited in uncomfortable silence.
In the time it took Kix to cleanse the wound, use an internal variation of bacta gel, and start applying bacta patches to the entry and exit points of the injury, Crosshair still hadn't spoken. Working as closely as he was, Kix could feel the tension radiating from the trooper.
"I'm almost done here, then I'll issue you some pain meds and we'll get you settled in for the night," he said, more to break the silence than anything else.
Crosshair snorted. "I'm not staying here tonight."
"You certainly are," Kix replied blandly. "I'll need to observe your wound to make sure it's healing properly. Don't think I didn't notice the elevated pulse and blood pressure, either. I have to be certain that's normal."
"We don't like medical centers... or medics," Crosshair said gruffly.
"I'm sorry, but the regulations are cle-" he cut himself off as Crosshair made a rude noise. He didn't know much about the Bad Batch, but most of the troopers hadn't enjoyed their time in medbays on Kamino, and Kix was no fool. There was probably a very good reason for Crosshair's venom.
With that in mind, Kix dropped his professionalism down a notch in order to level with the trooper: "Listen, I can't let you leave knowing that something could go wrong and you could lose the arm or die because I wasn't there to notice when things started going south. You'll stay here tonight with Echo. Spend the time cursing my name if it makes you feel better, as long as you're doing it here."
Crosshair snarled and opened his mouth to say something Kix was sure would be rude, but he was interrupted by the medbay doors opening. Hunter stepped through, followed by Tech and the hulking Wrecker.
"Gentlemen," Kix greeted politely, gathering the medical flotsam that tended to collect when an injury was being treated.
"Kix," Hunter returned. "We thought about your offer and we're here for scans."
"Good. Give me just a moment and I'll get the three of you scanned," Kix said, shooting Crosshair a firm look. "Pick a bed, trooper."
After disposing of the mess, Kix scanned the three remaining members of Clone Force 99, finding nothing worse than light fatigue, mild dehydration, and a single pulled muscle in Hunter's leg. True to Crosshair's word, all of them showed signs of stress and tension, likely from being in the medbay. Kix ignored that and focused on the treatable things.
He administered a pain patch for the pulled muscle and advised all of them to drink some water and get a good night of sleep.
"There is no need to pull watch duty while you're on-planet," Kix told them. "The regular troopers stationed here have a rotational system, so there's always a guard monitoring the perimeter. All of you should sleep as long as possible."
"Do you need us to stay here tonight?" Wrecker asked, glancing around uncertainly.
"It could be a medical necessity," Tech volunteered, watching Crosshair even as the tattooed trooper avoided his eyes.
Kix had a refusal ready to go, but paused at the last moment. "We don't like medical centers⊠or medics," Crosshair had said. If the others were volunteering to stay, it could be that they didn't want to leave their teammate here alone.
"Hmm⊠I think it would be for the best," Kix lied. "I need to monitor your fluid intake and I can make sure no one disturbs you while you rest. Best settle in for the night, vode."
Tech and Wrecker moved toward the beds, settling into ones on either side of the wounded troopers. Tech was rattling off factoids about bacterial growth all the while and Wrecker was crowing about winning some kind of bet against Crosshair.
Before he left the area, Kix caught sight of Hunter. The sergeant gave a deep nod of thanks - a gesture Kix returned before moving to the small desk at the front of the medbay, ready to keep watch as long as his brothers needed if it meant they felt safe enough to rest and heal.

part of the badlands series!
colors: âyouâre ripped at every edge but youâre a masterpiece.â
based off halseyâs badlands album.
warnings and other: museum curator!taehyun, old money!y/n, mentions of depression and grass smoking, little bit of angst i guess??
taehyun sighed as he took down the 11th painting this week. the museum hadn't been very busy in the past couple of weeks, maybe because the weather was getting colder. one part of him figured that many people just wanted to be bundled up at home watching holiday themed movies and drinking warm drinks rather than appreciating enchanting artworks.
he couldn't fool himself though, he knew the truth. today's generation didn't care about the fine arts anymore. a shame, seeing as everything around them seemed to be inspired by it.
kang taehyun worked at his local museum. he had been offered the position by the owner one night while roaming the place. this should've been a red flag looking back. the owner seemed desperate for someone to fill in the position since the previous employee had left without notice. nonetheless, taehyun took the job and didn't regret it one bit.
open 24/7, the red haired boy was always working on the clock. not that there was much to do seeing as most of the people his age or even a bit older didn't hang around museums purely for the joy of it. actually, his only job was to exhibit the newly arrived collections, clean and dust them off, and conduct regular tours and workshops for the public. due to this and the fact that not many people even came by he would take regular breaks.
once in a while you'd see the occasional old person or art expertee roaming around the small museum. if you were lucky, you'd see the local edgy teens posing next to a piece they didn't understand just to get an aesthetic picture. taehyun would also have the unfortunate job of shooing them away or scolding them for getting just a bit too close.
recently his boss, who was the museum manager and maybe the only other person besides taehyun that worked there, had informed him that due to funds and unfortunate unforeseen events, the museum would be closing down in about a month from now. this caused taehyun to fall deep into a depression since this was his only job and he loved it here. the museum was like his second home. he found comfort in the silent images displayed throughout the building. they always told him a story and when new pieces came in he would sit and stare attentively at the new anecdote being told to him.
taehyun smiled sadly at the piece he had just taken down. it was a painting of 2 people kissing however both of their faces were covered by white cloths. this was his favorite and he didn't even have a clue as to why. probably because of the uncertainty of what the other was feeling or because of the fact that the other couldn't see each other's faces through the cloth, that would've made the kiss more exciting in his opinion.
he stepped out of the museum and into the frosty air of the outside world. it was only autumn so why was it so cold? he thought to himself. he discreetly pulled out a prerolled blunt and his white lighter from his pocket. he lit it and stuck in between his slightly chapped lips.
maybe smoking dope wasn't the healthiest thing in the world, especially for a boy so young, barely 19, but it helped taehyun get his mind off the inevitably of losing his job and being homeless for the winter. he shuttered at the thought. he would have to room with one of his friends, he sighed shaking his head. no, he didn't want to be a burden, yeonjun had helped him enough as it is.
he looked at his surroundings taking in the cold autumn afternoon. the trees had long lost their leaves and were bare. the sky was a murky gray color as if it were threatening to rain any time soon. he noticed a girl bundled up in winter clothes near the entrance of the building glance at him. he smiled at her and she jumped at the eye contact, thinking that he wouldn't catch her. taehyun chuckled as he watched her rush into the museum. "back to work," he said out loud to himself.
once the blunt had been almost gone, he smoked what was left of it and headed back into the empty museum. he was feeling light-headed, the effects of the blunt finally taking action, but taehyun was used to it so it barely affected him as much.
he made his way to the girl who was now starting to take off her jacket and scarf. taehyun tapped on the girl's shoulder to get her attention. "hi," he smiled at the girl, showing off his dazzling smile. "if you'd like, i could give you a tour of the museum." well what's left of it anyways, he thought to himself.
"oh...no thank you," said the girl. she smiled warmly at the worker. "well not to be invasive of your decision but it's sort of in my job description," taehyun replied as he rubbed the back of his neck. the girl sighed in defeat, "i guess i have no choice then."
taehyun laughed as he took her coat and scarf to hang up in the public closet, "yep, trust me. they say im not that bad of a tour guide, im quite fun to be around if i do say so myself. i promise not to bore you too much." the girl nodded, not entirely convinced. "if i do end up bored i will hold you accountable..." she took a moment to take a peek at taehyun's name tag, "kang taehyun," she joked.
as they walked through the museum the girl couldn't help but notice that it was fairly empty. "why are there almost no paintings in here?" she laughed hesitantly. "i thought this was a museum?" taehyun stopped walking, turning to her with a sad expression on his face.
"the museum is expected to close in about a month or so," he stated simply. "oh...that's terrible. may i ask why?" the girl responded. "my boss says we've run out of funds or something like that," taehyun chuckled bitterly. "people don't really give a shit about good art these days anyways."
"that's a shame..."
they continued to look through the various paintings that were still up and occasionally the girl would ask to see the ones that were taken down and left on the floor. it seemed the two were lost in each other's company as night started to approach.
"thank you for the tour of this lovely museum taehyun. it was fun but it's a shame such a nice museum like this is closing down," the girl said softly. taehyun nodded solemnly, he just wanted to get this day over with and crash at his apartment. he didn't blame the girl before him but talking to her reminded him of his harsh reality. a notification coming from the girl's bag made both of them jump as they were both lost in their thoughts.
"ah, that must be my father. he's kind of annoying when it comes to my curfew," she chuckled, digging her phone from her bag. taehyun watched her with a bored expression until his eyes reached her bag. he hadn't noticed this earlier but she had been carrying a louis vuitton bag. his eyes bulged at the expensive item that was so close to him, they got even larger when she fished out the latest iphone from it.
taehyun wasn't poor per se, he had just enough to get by since he was living paycheck to paycheck. however, he had never been in such close proximity to any luxury items. he suddenly felt weird being this close to this girl.
"what do you mean by curfew?" taehyun asks hesitantly. the girl sighs, "my father is one of south korea's richest chaebol's, maybe one of the big three at his point." she rolled her eyes as if this information was nothing. "he's super strict with me because i guess i'm just his show pony daughter whom he can show off to say he's a good father."
taehyun gulped, had he just been casually hanging out with the daughter of one of the richest men in korea? he felt sick at this. she looked up at taehyun's uneasy expression, "oh my god im sorry i just dumped that all on you! i just needed to catch a break so i came here, i didn't mean to drag you into my life story."
taehyun fixes his face, laughing nervously, "no- no its fine really. we all need a break sometimes right? im glad you got to have that time here." the girl smiled up at him, completely misreading his nervous laughter, "im glad i got to spend it here with you taehyun."
"oh before i go!" taehyun watched her pull out a checkbook from her bag and his stomach dropped. he silently watched her scribble some stuff onto the slip and tear it out, handing it to him.
"there's not too much i can take out of my account without my father flipping out but i hope this helps even just a little. whether it be in your personal life or with the museum."
taehyun eyes the check and chokes when he sees 50,000 dollars written neatly on the black line. he swears he can feel sweat going down his face like in the cartoons. "i- i cant possibly take this from you." he moves to hand the check back but the girl refuses to take it back. "taehyun, you love this museum with your entire being. i see the way to look at the paintings and the passion with which you explained them to me. i'd hate to see that taken away."
"plus, if you're gone who's gonna give me the tour when i come back?" she laughs as if this is something casual. taehyun's hands shake as he pockets the check, "i seriously cannot thank you enough...you don't know how much you just helped the museum and m-"
the girls phone dings again and she grumbles, "ugh why can't he just leave me alone. sorry but i think i really gotta go for real before he tracks my location or something crazy like that."
taehyun nods wistfully at the mention of her having to leave. he was really starting to enjoy her company.
"oh by the way," the girl giggles as she pulls her coat on hurriedly. Â "was that you smoking weed at the corner of the museum earlier?" the girl chuckled to herself again just remembering it. taehyun furrowed his eyebrows, "why would you say that kind of thing at out loud and at my job?!" he scolded in a playful hushed voice.
"i just thought it was funny and you also smelled of weed the entire tour, i didn't mind though so don't worry," the girl concluded. she was starting to walk away towards out the door now. "i'll walk you out," taehyun offers. "such a helpful employee. is this in the job description too?" the girl jokes, turning to him while a smile on her lips. "well, not exactly," taehyun says smoothly.
she shakes her head, "i'll see you soon taehyun." he watches her walk off into the darkness of the night when he suddenly remembers something.
"hey what's your name by the way?" he shouts after the girl. for some reason taehyun really was hopeful of seeing her again.
"y/n!" came the disembodied voice of the girl he had just met.

a place that feels like home.
Trust was not so easily given, and Philza Minceraft knew this.
Hell, he raised four children that held their own trust issues. He spent years cracking away at them for them to finally feel safe enough to sleep in the same room with him and to turn their backs to him.
So why did he throw away the bond with two, kill the other, but live with the fourth? He knew very well why he did, he played favorites. He didnât try to of course, but there was just something about Techno that drew Phil to be with him more than the others. Maybe it was the saying that 'Technoblade Never Dies' that he could relate to as âThe Angel of Deathâ. Perhaps it was how their childhoods were so similar, where they were taken away from their families and thrown into The Pit, an illegal fight club that wanted to watch blood spill. The most likely thing though, was that they were both fighters.
Wilbur was never a fighter while he lived under Phil's roof, always wanting to hold a pen to write stories than to pick up a sword to spill blood. He was a lovely singer too and could spin melodies from simply plucking the strings of a guitar. Even when he left to make a country and was thrust into an unjust war, he refused to raise his bow unless it was dire.
It was only when his sanity started to deteriorate did he start to raise his sword instead of his guitar. And when Phil heard the words of "Kill me Phil -" after he blew up his own country that he shredded blood, sweat, and tears for, did he know his son was truly gone, replaced with this shell of a human.
Tubbo was like a bluebird; innocent and a hard-worker.
Like Wilbur, he never wanted to harm anyone, which was different from his birth father, Schlatt. He would rather spend his time with the bees in the backyard and play with his bee plushie that he was left with in  the box. He loved to spend time in the garden and nurture the flowers that grew alongside the food.
Tommy was a different case from the other two. While yes, he was a fighter, and a feisty one, he wasnât the best. He was always so brash and loud, letting the enemy know he was coming from miles away. Techno was much more reserved and quiet and was deadly and to the point in his attacks. Phil saw him at the wars though, and he saw how much his youngest grew in his fighting.
Phil knew that he was too young to be thrust into these wars, too young to have met the face of Death multiple times by now, and too young to have been betrayed by nearly everyone he knew.
But, Phil sighed, there was nothing he could do about it now. The bonds he once had were shattered beyond repair and the three probably hated him by now. The only thing he could do now was to ask Ranboo if he needed a place to stay.
He had given Ranboo one of his feathers days after Technoâs execution, a way of communication that wasnât able to be tracked by Dream. Phil had seen how the boy had been unwilling to pull the lever and was even hesitant to place Phil under house arrest.
He quickly searched through his satchel looking for the feather that was the main cell. Once he did, he quickly double-tapped the circle that rested at the top and scrolled through the contacts list. There were people from the Antarctic Empire, Ranboo, and then there was his family, Tubbo, Tommy, Fundy, Wilbur, and Techno.
Phil could only hope that Ranboo hadnât left the feather in his house as the explosions fell down into what once was Lâmanburg.
With tense shoulders, he pressed the call button.
---
The dripping of water was the only thing that could be heard within the obsidian room beside the shaky breaths of a curled figure who was in one of the back corners.
A cat, Enderchest, meowed, disrupting the silence and rubbing against the leg of their owner in an attempt of comfort. Ranboo could only stare at his memory book as the feather in his hand hovered over the names of the people who were once his friends.
âI . . . I donât have anyone left . . .â The book was shut with a slam, the title shinning against the lighting that the crying obsidian gave off.
âBut,â a shaky sigh escaped through his lips. âI canât forget them, otherwise Iâm just giving up, and if I give up. . .â He stood abruptly which only succeeded in him collapsing down once more due to his unsteady legs.
âThen Iâm just weak.â
The feather in his hand crackled to life, startling him before a familiar voice could be heard echoing around the small room. âHey, Ranboo!â
âHi, Phil.â The unshed tears in his eyes shone brighter as his voice wavered.
âDid you make it out okay?â Phil sounded concerned for him, for some reason that Ranboo could not fathom.
âYeah, Iâm still alive.â The smell of smoke was strong, even when he was far away from Lâmanburg. Some part of Ranbooâs mind wondered how long it would last.
âGood, good, where are you right now?â
âUhm, Iâm gonna be in Lâmanburg soon.â All Ranboo needed to do now was to pull himself out of this funk.
âOkay, good.â The rustling of a wing could be heard. âDo you need a place to stay or are you good?â Ranboo was caught off-guard by this question as images of his destroyed home flashed through his head.
âI- I think I do need a place to stay.â Ranboo sheepishly admitted, pulling himself up from the floor and balancing himself.
âYeah? Whatâs been going on with you, by the way? âCause like, we havenât spoken in a bit, and I- I know that book was very precious to you, but I- I didnât know exactly why.â
âOh, it uh, keeps who my friends are in it, so I donât forget, cause you know I have very bad memory issues.â His armor was put back on in a couple of seconds and he traveled back outside. âSo, uh, I keep all of my friendships in the book, which is - has, changed quite a bit from today so I might need to update it.â The Panic Room was covered up once more. âIâll be in Lâmanburg in a second- or what used to be. Iâll be in the big hole in a second.â
âI can get there, I can get there. Give me time, give me time.â
Silence fell between the two as they both traveled to the same destination and Ranboo wondered who was going to be the one to break it.
âSo where did you go? Were you still around? âCause it was hectic.â
âYeah, I had a wither chasing me the entire time, so I kinda couldnât just leave.â
A sharp intake of breath. âYeah, sorry about that-â
âOh, itâs okay-â Laughter could be heard from the two males.
âAre you in Lâmanburg now, by the way?â Phil asked.
Ranboo looked around, confirming his whereabouts. âOh, uh, yeah, Iâm next to the staircase that leads up to the Prime Path.â
âAlright, let me see if I can aim this. It might be off though.â A whoosh of the trident, ad Phil was standing right in front of him, his damaged wing tucked safely against his back. Ranboo hadnât heard the full story, but from the information he gathered, one of his wings was singed beyond repair and was just dead weight on his back from protecting Wilbur from the heat of the blast. âOh, this staircase has seen better days.â
That elicited a chuckle out of the taller male. âA lot of this place has seen better days, in case you didnât realize.â They traversed up the pathway, twisting and turning through the multitude of wooden slabs beneath their feet.
âItâs fine, we needed a change. It had to be done.â Phil waved it off.
âYeah, actually. I kind of understand why.â
âYou got everything you need?â Ranboo skimmed through his inventory.
âYeah, actually. I had all of my mending books in a secret barrel in my house but I guess Iâm not getting those.â Ranboo grimaced at the thought.
They conversed for a while longer, traveling through the Nether before arriving at and entering into Technoâs and Philâs home.
âYeah, so you can stay here until we can start working on your house.â Phil gestured to the couch. âI was thinking of building it next to the mountain thatâs behind the house, so it would be somewhat ingrained into the mountain but not fully.â
Ranboo could only just nod, not able to fully express his gratitude besides a simple âThank you.â
Phil smiled at Ranboo. âItâs not a problem mate. Itâs the least I could do after destroying your only house. Get some rest, yeah? I should also tell Techno youâre here so he wonât immediately kill you as soon as he sees you.â
Ranboo chuckled nervously. âOh yeah, that sounds good.â
âYeah, Iâve got to get going, youâll be okay on your own, right?â Phil stopped his shuffling to look at Ranboo, and to his relief, avoided eye contact.
âYeah, Iâll be fine. Thank you, again.â Ranboo shited where he stood, opting to stare at the floor.
âAs Iâve said before, itâs not a problem mate. Iâll be out for a while, and Techno should be back before I will, bye Ranboo!â
âBye Phil!â
---
Techno trudged into his house, closing the door behind him before he collapsed against it, the roughed up edges of his armor digging into the wood. His sword rested limply in his hand as he let his body relax. He would definitely have to wash his sword from the blood that stained it.
He pushed away from the door with a groan. The satchels of potions landed on the floors and counters with a thump. He looked around before he spotted a lump laying down on the couch. Techno immediately tensed up, the grip on his blade tightening.
He swiftly but silently went over, his guard never slipping. His sword was raised, ready to be brought down on the intruder, but Techno then saw his face.
It was Ranboo, the kid that Phil had a soft spot for. He blinked a few times before he checked the feather that was clasped to a gold chain and that hung around his neck. He scrolled through a couple of messages, seeing some from Ghostbur, spam from Tommy, and one from both Fundy and Phil.
He clicked on the notification and read what laid before him.
<Ph1lZa whispered to you: Iâm letting Ranboo stay with us for the next few days until we can get a new house built for him. I hope that isnât too much of a hassle. Talk to you soon Tech!>
Techno huffed in response, but put down his sword and slid it back into itâs seath. The feather was then nestled back to where it once was before, and as he was doing that, Techno saw that Ranboo was shivering.
The couch could barely hold him and the blankets he had didnât seem to be doing much for him. Techno grumbled as he made up his decision. He swiftly picked Ranboo up and brought him up the ladder, careful not to awaken him or disturb him as they made the trip upstairs.
Ranboo was softly placed on the olderâs bed, the red cloak that once rested upon Technoâs shoulders was instead acting as a makesift blanket for the taller.

Creed Imagine:
There is a sex tape with Adonis and his girl released to the internet.
Warnings: Smut.
This will most likely end up being two parts because Iâm trying to shorten my imagines so that I donât burn myself out. This is the first Adonis Creed imagine that I have done in a long while. This was a request from my girl @therealmrsmbjordanâ
Adonis Creedâs ex-girlfriend of two years, Y/N, is now dating celebrity personal trainer, Jamal Anderson. The new couple were spotted in LA entering a red Audi R8 after celebrating a mutual friendâs birthday during a dinner party at Yamashiro; a Japanese restaurant in Hollywood...
Anger thrummed through Adonisâs veins while reading a Shade Room post about his ex girlfriend. Paparazzi took 10+ photos of Jamal and Y/N booâd up on the hood of his car with their tongues down each otherâs throats. The last photo is a picture of a visibly wasted Y/N giving papâs the finger like she always did whenever she was seen with Adonis out in public.Â
What did she expect? You were just dating a professional athlete; a celebrity about five months ago. What really has molten anger rolling through Adonis is Jamalâs hands all over Y/Nâs ass, face, and titties. Each and every photo Jamal has his hands on the warm, sweet flesh of his ex. Adonis grits his teeth and clenches his fists. Thatâs where his hands should be. He should be the one stroking her silky brown skin with his calloused hands.Â
âYou wanna finish this last session out, Donnie, or do you plan on being on your damn phone?âÂ
Adonis cut his dark brown eyes at the son of his fatherâs trainer. Tony âLittle Dukeâ Evers' tall, lanky body came into view with an annoyed look on his face, âWhoâs the one that has a fight coming up? Not me.â
âChill, Unc, Iâve been training for two hours,â Adonis says with an abrasive tone, âSome shit just came to my attentionâŠâ
âShit that can wait. I got two new guys that I need to train; guys that you want to promote, remember? JâLeon Love, Charvis GrantâŠâÂ
âYouâre not about to keep talking to me like you own me or some shit,â Adonis stands to his full height and intimidating weight making his uncle look like a five year old kid, âLike I said, I have something more important on my mind right now-
âThis,â Tony shows Donnie the post on Shade Room about Y/N with a smirk, âShe moved on, so can you.â
Adonis kisses his teeth, grabbing the front of his Under Armor shirt to wipe sweat from the tip of his nose. Yeah, clearly she did move on. Didnât take her long at all to hop on some new dick and leave Apollo Creedâs legacy in the wind.Â
âJust forget about that bitch and letâs put in some work,â Tony slips adonis his Hayabusa T3 boxing gloves in black and gold that are snatched from his hands, âJâLeon is a hot-head just like you...work with him for a little while, see if he can keep up with a Creed.â
âJâLeon better keep up,â Adonis responded before giving his uncle a sly smirk, âI can use a human punching bag right now with how pissed off I am.â
âDonât make the boy go home second guessing becoming a pro boxer,â Tony playfully jabs Adonis in his eight back abs before blocking a lead hook from Adonis that would have caught him in his ribcage. Adonis strolled back to the boxing ring that is 3 to 4 feet from the ground and 20 feet wide with the Delphi boxing Academy logo centered in the middle. Ducking his body, Adonis climbs inside between the ropes, approaching JâLeon sparring with Macky, one of Tonyâs good friends.Â
âRemember, one step at a time, one punch at a time,â A sweaty faced Macky says to JâLeon, âYou usually do so well, whatâs up with you today, young man?â
âLess talking, more sparring,â JâLeon starts delivering crosses and uppercuts to macky with all of his might, a wheezing sound escaping his mouth with each punch so that he doesnât fatigue himself. Macky shoves JâLeon back with his Everlast punching mitts, causing him to stumble and blow air through his cheeks.
âAyo, JâLe,â Adonis holds his arms out with a confused look on his face, âThis is how you train signed under me? Youâre supposed to be an elite fighter, right? Get up.â
JâLeon looked daggers at Adonis while standing back up, the 168 lb super middleweight boxer shaking out his arms. Adonis is much bigger than him, a super heavyweight at 215 lbs. He chuckled at JâLeonâs fierceness before getting into his orhtodox stance, his left foot and left hand in front of him. Tony places his mouth guard in his mouth before Adonis circled JâLeon in the ring. Adonis hits JâLeon with a quick jab and a left hook, JâLeonâs shoulders squared too much leaving Adonis room to hit him.Â
âYou ainât see that coming did you?â Adonis says with a slight lisp from the mouth guard, âTry and hit me back, JâLe, come on.â
JâLeon came at Adonis with a left body hook that Adonis easily deflected while bouncing on his toes.Â
âYou want to be a champ like me you better come at me harder than that, nigga,â JâLean started charging Adonis with sloppy jabs, Adonis swiftly dodging them before hitting JâLeon with a hook. The outer ring grew crowded as they snickered at JâLeonâs anger stricken face.Â
âSomething is definitely on your mind, man,â Adonis takes off one of his gloves to help JâLeon off of the ring floor but he refuses, standing on his own two feet.Â
âLook, I was in the same position as you, JâLe. I remember walking in here five years ago and challenging Danny Wheeler to a fight. He had me on the floor just like you with the keys to my car in his hand.â
JâLeon looked like he wanted to kill Adonis but instead he walked away and out of the ring.
âNext time I wonât be so easy on you then!â Adonis yells after JâLeonâs retreating body.Â
âI donât know about this one, Adonis. He seems too weak for Creed Promotions,â Tony whispered to Adonis.
âThat sounds like something you said to me when I came asking for help almost five years ago, remember that?â Adonis reminds Tony, âCharvis seems to be taking my advice though.âÂ
Both Tony and Adonis watch Charvis practice on one of the speed bags, finally doing it the proper way.Â
âIâm gonna do a little more for my session before I leave, let me know how it goes, Aight Unc?âÂ
âYeah, Iâll let you know. You're coming in tomorrow afternoon, right?â
âOf course! Iâm supposed to be doing an interview with sports illustrated.â
Adonis exits the ring himself and decides to use the new set of punching bags from Everlast. Adonis circled the Powercore Dual Bag before delivering quick jabs and rear crosses. He exhaled when punching and striking, the heavy hissing, grunting, and exhaling coming from his core, sweat rippling over the chiseled peeks of his eight pack. He tightened his core while breathing before going back at it with jabs that he would deliver to his opponents body in the ring.Â
âAyo, Donnie,â Cory, Adonisâs personal trainer and nutritionist walked over with his phone in hand, âWhy is Jamal Anderson talking shit about you to TMZ?â
âThe fuck are you talking about?â Adonis says with sweat flying from his skin with every powerful blow of his fists to the bag.Â
âWell, he got your name in his mouth,â Cory played the video, holding it up to Adonisâs face for him to see, âThis nigga is bold.â
Adonis entertained the video with his dark brown eyes but as soon as his name popped up his jaw muscles tightened painfully, almost to the point of shattering his molars.Â
Adonis Creed...I ainât worried about that man. His loss, my gain right? Whatever he didnât do Iâm doing for her. He fucked up. All he had to do was appreciate the beauty in front of him instead of worrying about being the heavyweight champion of the world. Itâs okay...Iâm taking good care of Y/N.
âHmm,â Adonis grunts angrily, his eyes blazing, âJamal need to shut his big ass mouth before I break his fucking face...have that nigga speaking through a wired jaw.â
âY/N is messed up for letting this dude talk shit about you like that. Yâall have history, she needs to put him in check,â Cory says while placing his phone in his Nike track pants.
âShe cries for some attention from me thatâs all,â Adonis moves on to a speed bag while Cory follows. He started hitting the bag with his fingers to control the pace of the bag and get used to the rhythm. He hit it in small circles with a right-right-left-left rhythm, standing square in front of the bag.
âYou think this is her way of telling you she wants you back?â Cory watched Adonisâs movements.
âYep. Thatâs Y/N though,â Adonis stops the bag with both of his hands, âIma give her a call when I leave...she needs to hear what I gotta say,â he says while repeatedly hitting the speed bag again.
__________
Painting her toenails a dark purple, Y/N mouthed the words to Kehlaniâs song toxic. She flexed her pretty toes before leaning forward to blow on them. Home on a Friday evening with no intentions on going out. She knew if she went out she would be cornered by paparazzi about the recent photos that surfaced with her and Jamal Anderson. She was drunk, Jamal is handsome, and she missed the male attention.Â
Her phone was currently flipped over and buzzing with notifications and phone calls on her bed. Adonis left her the luxury loft they both shared and moved into his own. If she wanted to end things he didnât want to be in the same place as her and he wasnât going to kick her out. As pissed off as he was he still thought about her well being and left her his old place while he purchased a new, much smaller one.Â
The master bedroom didnât feel the same. It didnât smell the same. She missed Adonisâs Nautica cologne attached to every piece of fabric. She missed hearing him in the early mornings doing push-ups on the floor near the bed, she missed watching him cook healthy; high protein meals that Cory sent him via PDF, shirtless with just a pair of sweatpants on and bare feet while cooking. She missed his deep, raspy voice calling her his cinnamon swirl and running his hands through her curls. She still watered his Aloe Vera plants because he used to love using it to reduce pain and inflammation on his skin from a fight.Â
Yes, she missed all of these things but it came with Adonis being too busy for her, making decisions like moving to LA without consulting her or saying sheâs being ridiculous and overreacting about his female fans being too touchy feely with him. Maybe she was being a little bit dramatic with breaking up with him. In the beginning, she felt good. She liked the little bit of freedom but now she craved for him. Her and Jamal arenât in a relationship but he is going around telling everyone about them. She saw his TMZ post, thatâs why sheâs been avoiding him all day.Â

Y/Nâs phone couldnât stop shaking on her bed. Picking it up for the first time within the past couple of hours, Y/N sees that it is Adonis calling her. She hesitated but eventually Y/N answered.
âYeah,â She spoke with no enthusiasm.
âWhatâs up.â He greeted her so casually through the phone.Â
âI should be asking you that since youâre calling me.â
âOkay, fair point...your new nigga...he got a lot of mouth...you hyping his head up or something?â
Y/N rolled her eyes shut, âNo...thatâs just how Jamal is. I thought you said you wouldnât let words get to you anymore? If heâs just talking why does it matter, Donnie?â
âIt matters because heâs making me look like a fucking joke. You didnât take long to move on I see, makes me think you planned this all along,â He spoke with malice.
âI didnât plan anything, Donnie. Itâs been months since weâve been together DON'T sit up here on this phone acting like Iâm out to get you or something!âÂ
âI canât fucking tell, out here letting this clown ass nigga stick his tongue done your throat and grab you up and shit.â
âWeâre not together, Adonis. I can do whatever I want with whoever I want. My mouth, and my body doesnât belong to you anymore.âÂ
âI call bullshit but Iâll let you have your moment...so when are you coming back to me?âÂ
Y/N went wide-eyed, âExcuse me?â
âLetâs stop fucking around, girl. I know you miss me...did you let him hit?â
âAdonis, please,â Y/N put one of her hands up as if he were in front of her.
âDid you? Just answer the question.â His voice appeared calm but she knew he was shaking with fury. Adonis didnât like that what used to be his was his no longer. Seeing Jamal touch on her and kiss on her made Adonis feel like he was robbed of one of his trophies or his championship belt.Â
âYeah, we fucked...twice,â Y/N finally spoke up with her voice smaller than she would have liked.
âHmm,â That same deep, ragged grunt he always did when he was enraged about something was loud in her ear, âSo thatâs what weâre doing, huh? OkayâŠâ
âDonnie, donât do anything stupid it was my decision, I chose to sleep with him, just cool off. Iâll have a talk with him tomorrow about what he said to TMZ, okay? Iâm not even going to deal with him anymore.â
âIâm done talking about it, Y/N.â
He cut her off coldly. She snapped her lips shut, hurt in her eyes at his abrasive voice.Â
âSo now you have an attitude with me? Yeah, I do miss you, Donnie, but with that comes your lack of respect for me as your girl. You didnât care about how I felt when it came down to moving here, your career, and some of the wild shit your fans do! Jamal was there for me, we had sex twice, it was good, real good, and Iâm not gonna sit up here and lie! What do you want me to do? Sit up here and cry, cry, cry every fucking day?! Donât call me on this shit when you didnât even think twice to pack your shit and leave me!âÂ
âGirl, please, I gave you everything, I was there for you when shit went down with your family, I did nothing but respect you, the fans, the lifestyle, none of that shit mattered. And I already heard that you fucked Jamal⊠you let him have all of that? Like I wasnât just up in it five months ago? He AINT me, Y/N. He AINT stepping up for shit.â
âOh, my God,â Y/N groans, âIâm hanging up. This is a constant circle with you. I donât owe you any explanation, Adonis. What we used to do, we donât do anymore. Goodbye-
âDonât hang up on me,â He spoke with a warning.

A stream of air passed through Adonisâs teeth sounding like a barista steaming wand foaming milk in a Starbucks or the type of sound snakes make in warning their prey. His fists clenched strongly, almost popping the vessels in his arms. His cock-diesel frame was charged up and ready to knock Jamal out. Adonis picks up his bottle of Don Julio 1942 drinking it down in big gulps, the taste of warm oak with hints of caramel and toffee lingering in the back of his throat.Â
This was usually what him and Y/N did on a Friday evening whenever he was home; drink and fuck. The fucking he wouldnât be doing but his ten inches of steel was pulsating in his sweatpants. The girthy length is curved downward and creating a large bulge. Usually, Y/N would be on her knees between his legs saying ooooh, Daddy, how did you know I wanted some dick in my mouth? Giving him a sloppy suck that had him busting fat load after fat load down her throat.Â
Adonis pauses his music on his phone, his entire bedroom going silent before grabbing his laptop from the opposite side of his California King. Opening it, Adonis pulls up his folders, scrolling through and finding the one that he would NEVER bring himself to delete. Home movies was the name of the folder. Adonis double-clicked it, his eyes scanning the screen while each file popped up in rows. Pictures, videos, and audios occupied the folder. Dragging his pouty bottom lip between his teeth, Adonis started from the beginning.Â
File number one...
âMmm,â He made a deep moan of appreciation at the image before him. Itâs Y/N arched over their old bed that she was currently sleeping in alone. It didnât have the grainy effect that webcam photos tend to give since Adonis used his Canon EOS 5D camera to take them. Her beautiful pussy and asshole were waiting for him like she was serving him dinner. That goddess of a body she has, all natural and velvety smooth. Clicking through there is a video of her rubbing her clit from behind while Adonis angled the camera to get the best pussy shot.
âOh, youâre ready,â Adonis says in the video, âyouâre gonna be walking a little different when Iâm done, baby.â
âPlease fuck me, daddy,â Y/N moaned sweetly while rubbing her clit from the back, âCome and fuck meâŠâ
Adonis brings the camera above him so that he could record himself fucking Y/N from behind. The view showed off Adonisâs lips down to his defined pectorals and eight pack abs. He used his free hand to give Y/Nâs ass a playful smack before pulling down the front of his black sweatpants, his downward curved dick springing free while he moved his hips from side to side.Â
âBabyâŠâshe called out to him, reaching back to feel him, âPlease...I want you inside me...I want you- OH GODDD.â
Adonis was sinking deeply into Y/Nâs tight and creamy pussy with a hissing sound escaping his mouth.Â
âYes, baby,â Adonis lightly slaps each ass cheek; left cheek, right cheek before gripping the flesh and stroking her slowly, âMmmmh, yes...you always feel so good.âÂ
He started stroking at a moderate pace, Y/Nâs ass softly clapping against his brick wall of a body.Â
âFuck,â he says, biting his bottom lip, âMhm,â Adonis grabs one of Y/Nâs ass cheeks, grinding his hips against her ass, âI feel you baby...youâre gonna cum for daddy?â
âUnh,â She moans, her body shaking beneath him, âYes, Daddy!!â
Adonis pauses the video, his body overly heated from the Don Julio and his dick as stiff as concrete between his thighs. With a deep grunt, Adonis frees his dick from his sweatpants before grabbing the warm, solid, flesh to stroke it lightly. Even with her not here she still got his pipe iron-hard and his balls tight. Adonis clicked through a few photos before spotting one that he cracked a dimpled smile at. This video needed to be seen through and through. He clicked on it, a visual of Y/N sitting on the kitchen counter with her legs spread wide and limber, naked body illuminated by the light above the oven. Adonis was recording her playing with her phat clit, rubbing it in tight circles.Â
Grabbing his 1942 Adonis takes a big sip from the bottle while his other hand swings his dick from side to side. The counter is covered with all types of treats and sweet toppings. Whipped cream, peach and strawberry preserves, caramel syrup, fudge syrup, honey and what looked like a birthday cake. This was recorded on Adonisâs 33rd birthday. They had just come from a night of partying and Y/N said she had something special for him at home that requires his appetite. The mess they made, the drunken sex, and the overall fun of it all has Adonis both angry and aroused. He really missed Y/N but at the same time he was beyond pissed that she would break up with him and then fuck another man that disrespected him any chance he got on social media. Thatâs right, Jamal is entertaining Twitter with the memes they created about Adonis.
-This nigga Adonis is punching the air right now!Â
-How you let this clown fuck your girl?
-Weâll pay big money to see Jamal Anderson go toe-to-toe with Adonis Creed.
-He donât like being called Baby Creed but I bet that nigga prolly sucking his thumb and crying in the fetal positon LMAO!
-Creed didnât respond to this yet⊠đ€ I wonder why.
-His shawty bad AF. Damn, Creed ainât winning this battle.Â
-Damn! So Jamal is putting it on Y/N better than Creed?!!! Embarrassing!!!
That didnât even include the jokes in his DMs about the situation. Itâs been a while since Adonis made a reckless decision. The last time he did that he ended up in a hospital bed with broken ribs, a ruptured kidney, and a concussion. He became increasingly distant from Y/N and Mary Anne, tensions rising in his relationships. Now, he was starting to feel that same foolhardy feeling while staring at his computer screen, wordless with rage.Â

Y/Nâs phone is off the hook at 9:00 AM on a Saturday. She was still buried beneath her covers with her bonnet on and one of Adonisâs old t-shirts. Lifting her head from beneath the sheets, Y/N squinted her sleepy eyes around her bed, searching for her phone. With a big yawn that has her jaw muscles sore, Y/N finally finds it, picking it up to look at the screen. Her friend and personal Esthetician, Ava, was calling her. She wondered what for. Y/Nâs wasnât due for another wax set until two weeks from now.Â
âHello?â Y/N flips over onto her back.
âSorry to wake you, but, girl...you need to look at Twitter like NOW! They are talking about you and Adonis on a sex tape-
âHold up⊠A WHAT?!!!!!!â Y/N is 100% awake now. With the mention of a sex tape Y/N nearly jumped out of her skin.Â
âGirl...whatâs going on between you and Adonis? Are yâall together? What?-
âNo, Ava, me and Donnie arenât together and what do you mean a sex tape?!â Y/N places Ava on speaker, frantically going to her Twitter app to see exactly what she meant. Sure enough, there is a trending topic about Adonis and Y/N. Multiple full length videos, clips, and pictures from a video that they made almost a year ago is out there for the world to see. Y/N gaped at her phone screen. Her nude body, Adonisâs nude body, the sex, the moans, and the nasty talk has her speechless.Â
âOh my fucking God,â Y/N shot up out of bed, pacing back and forth quickly, âWhy would he do this?!!!!â
âYou think Donnie leaked it?!â Ava asked with a shocked voice.
âWho else would have?!! Wasnât me!â Y/N spoke defensively.
Y/N does have copies herself on her laptop that she occasionally looks at but she wouldnât have leaked a sex tape of them two unless they both agreed to it or something. For Adonis to do this without her consent pissed Y/N off.Â
âGirl, you better call his ass right fucking now!â Ava practically yelled into the phone, âThis shit is wild-
âAva, Iâm gonna have to call you back,â Y/N hung up the phone before Ava could even speak her last words. Y/N checked her inbox. Over 100 text messages and that didnât even include notifications from Instagram, and Twitter. Checking her messages, she reads through a few from her friends.
Noel: Baby, I didnât know you were this nasty!! Damn!Â
Kristina: So are yâall back together then? Whatâs going on with this sex tape, girl?!!
Tiffany: EXPLAIN! Why did I wake up to my friend trending on Twitter!!! You making sex tapes and leaking them?!! Call me back bitch!!!
Joey: Wassup big head đ
Jamal: WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON Y/N!Â
âFuck,â Y/N says with a shaky voice. She stopped pacing, exhaling calmly before going back to Twitter. There is no way she wanted to look at the tweets directed towards her but the more she thought about it the harder it became. Scrolling, Y/N finds the full video of the sex tape. Sitting on the edge of her bed, Y/N watches from start to finish, her mouth agape and a warmth filling her chest cavity. Even through being pissed off about it, she is STILL turned on.Â
Y/N sat on the counter with her legs spread wide, her fingers working her clit into an erect bud. Leaning back on her elbow, Y/N looked into the camera that Adonis panned around her. She grinned and gave him a wink before bringing her wet, cream covered fingers to her mouth to suck her mess off. Adonisâs deep chuckle came through on the other side of the camera before his hand reached out to grab the whipped cream bottle.Â
âLay on your back,â He says before stepping between her legs. Adonis places the camera on an elevated surface so that the side of Y/Nâs naked body and his naked hips could be seen in profile.Â
There are shadows in the video but there is no denying that big ass dick she used to fuck and suck on. That downward curve and those heavy balls called to her attention and watered her mouth the more she watched the scene unfold.Â
âI love how your legs are spread like that...you ready for some fun, girl?âÂ
âYes,â Y/N says while watching Adonis shake the whipped cream bottle.Â
âStick your tongue out for me,â He says while stepping in between her legs. Holding the nozzle against her tongue, Adonis squirts some whipped cream into Y/Nâs mouth. She brought her hands up to rub her erect nipples while licking and sucking on the nozzle with a moan.Â
âMmm, you sucking on that nozzle like itâs my dickâŠâ
âI want your dick in my mouth covered in whipped cream,â Y/N dragged her sweet tasting tongue across her upper lip, âPut some on my nipples, daddy.â
Hearing herself call Adonis daddy while watching that video made her shiver. She was supposed to be angry with him and not sexually aroused.Â
Adonis squirts whipped cream on Y/Nâs nipples before placing the bottle on the counter and leaning forward. His beautiful russet skin and the gold chain around his neck glowed from the little bit of light within the kitchen the closer he got to Y/Nâs breasts. That long, curled tongue of his swirled around her left nipple, cleaning up all of the whipped cream in one swipe before sucking her nipple into his mouth.Â
âUnh,â Y/Nâs body arched while she ran her hands over the back of his head.Â
Adonis dragged his tongue along the center of her chest before reaching her right breast and doing the same exact thing with his wicked tongue. Y/Nâs head extended back, sweet, angelic moans filling the kitchen. Adonis sucked a little more before rising back up to grab something else. Back in view, Adonis has some raw honey in his hand with an actual honeycomb stick.Â
âYummy baby girl, look at you, laid out for me to do whatever I want, right?â Adonis twirls the stick inside of the honey before pulling it out and drizzling it all over Y/Nâs front from her neck down to the top of her pussy, âIâm about to lick and suck all this shit off of you, spread your legs, girl.âÂ
Y/N spreads her legs, bringing her knees to her chest and sitting up on her elbows. With keen eyes, Y/N watches Adonisâs every move while his tongue swipes across both sides of her neck before grabbing her jaw lightly to keep her still while he sucks on her flesh.Â
Y/N could almost feel his lips tightly sucking on her neck and his wet tongue tickling her deliciously with every swipe. When he licked her throat Y/N moaned in unison with herself on the video. She stifled her other moans with a bite of her bottom lip. She hated the way he was currently making her feel after what he did. Who else would have leaked the video? Adonis is very careful and he wouldnât disclose any information like that to a friend for them to leak it. Loud sucking came from the video and Y/Nâs focus was back on that screen.
âMmm,â Adonis continued to suck the honey from Y/Nâs flesh all the way down to her pussy. He teased her outer lips with his tongue but he didnât lick her clit. Biting her inner thighs now, Adonis grabs for more honey, drizzling it all over her pussy.
âMmh, yes,â Y/N licks her lips, bringing a finger down to catch some honey to taste, âMake my pussy nice and sticky, daddy.âÂ
âThis is just the beginning, ma, we still got other treats to run through,â Adonis takes his entire mouth to wrap around Y/Nâs inner lips, no waiting whatsoever. She flexed her hips off of the counter, driving her pussy into his sticky mouth while palming the back of his head. Adonisâs strong arms trapped her and held her still while he angled her hips so that the light could catch him sucking on her sultry pussy. Her skin kept sticking to the counter from the honey on the surface and her ass cheeks were glued together from the sweet nectar as well.
âJust like that daddy,â Y/N reached down to pull her pussy lips apart, sticky, wet sounds filling the kitchen, âOooh, right there...eat my pussy...Ooooo, yes, right on that clit.â
Her body shined with residues of honey and saliva. Adonis held one of her legs in the air to admire her pussy before dragging his other hand over it.Â
âGrab that whipped cream, girl...yeah...now squirt some on this pussy...mmmh, yessssssssss, Good girl, so sexy, babyâŠâ
His tongue wiggles against her labia and clit, whipped cream staining her inner thighs now from his sloppy head. Y/Nâs head extended back, choked up moans directed towards the ceiling.Â
âYou just love to eat my pussy, daddy, mmmm!!â
Adonis didnât say a word while he devoured her pussy like it was pie filling. Adonis pinched her outer lips together so that he could see how fat her pussy is before leaning down to kiss it softly. Her puffy, wet pussy called for the attention of his fingers while his tongue danced across her clit back and forth, up and down, and in circles. Her wetness made the loudest sounds ever. Three thick fingers deep in her pussy, Adonis jerks his fat dick at the same time.Â
âHold just like that, girl, just like that, look at all this cream...you know your pussy is already sweet, daddy doesnât even have to tell you does he?â
âUmph!!â Y/Nâs legs came up in the air while Adonis rang her dry with his fingers. She squirted all over the counter top and it dripped to the floor over the edge. Adonis brings his fingers up to her mouth for her to suck on. He fucked her mouth slowly with his fingers while staring into her pretty brown eyes.Â
âMy dick is throbbing...what are you gonna eat off of me?â He spoke with a whisper in her ear, âYouâre gonna make my dick a sticky mess?â
âYes, with this,â Y/N picks up the jar of homemade peach preserves and heavy syrup that she created herself, âLet me down so I can suck that big ass dick.â
Adonis picks Y/N up from the counter bringing her down to her feet before him. She instantly dropped to her knees while Adonis grabs the camera to focus down on her kneeling before him. Unscrewing the mason jar top to the preserves, Y/N licks the rim before grabbing Adonisâs dick with one hand, bringing the jar of peach preserves down to the wide tip of his dick. It was chilled from being in the fridge, the cold glass sweating in her hand.Â
âGoddamn, girl,â Adonis shivers when Y/N puts his dick inside of the jar. He braces the edge of the counter with one hand while losing control of his grip on the camera. His grip tightened on the camera the same time Y/N pulled his dick from the jar. Chunks of chopped peaches and heavy syrup dripped from his pipe and stained the tile floor of the kitchen.Â
âOoh, look at all this sweet, sweet goodness on your dick, daddy,â Looking into the camera, Y/N licks the side of his shaft with no hands, the tang and sugar seeping deeply into her taste buds the more she licked and licked.Â
âFuck, just like that girl, dick taste better doesnât it? Look at you cleaning my dick off like a good girl, mmmm, that tongueâŠâ
âThis tongue?â Y/N sucks the preserves off of the tip of his dick before dragging her tongue down the underside of his shaft causing his dick to throb against her pointed tongue.Â
âYeah...that good tongue and juicy lips,â Adonis fists Y/Nâs hair, âSuck my dick babyâŠlook into the camera and show me what that mouth do.âÂ
With urgency Y/N draws Adonisâs dick into her mouth and starts sucking him with only her jaws doing all of the work. His dick was no match for her mouth. Y/N was trained well to suck all of that fat dick.
His moans, damn, Adonis loves it when Y/N really got into it like that, sucking his dick with so much passion and concentration. She thoroughly enjoyed sucking dick and now she was sitting with her thighs spread to cool her heated, wet folds and her tongue poked out like she was waiting for his dick to enter her mouth.
âSomebody is hungry,â Adonis chuckles, âgrab that whipped cream and put it on my ballsâŠâ
Y/N grabs the whipped cream, getting back on her knees. Adonis holds his dick up while Y/N squirts whipped cream all over his balls. Tossing the can carelessly on the floor Y/N began to suck on his balls. Adonis jerked his dick, occasionally slapping her face with it.Â
âPlease stroke my dick, baby,â Adonis letâs his dick go for Y/N to grab, âyou had my dick hard all night long now itâs time for you to make me cum.âÂ
Y/N blinked her eyes up at Adonis past his meaty, long pipe while drooling on his balls. He was close, the veins in his dick seemed to spring to life and thicken in her hand. Oh, she was about to drain him. Her mouth was back on his wide tip sucking the life out of him, aiming to wring him dry like a soaking wet rag.Â
âUnh, this is where you wanted to be all night I can tell by the way youâre sucking me fucking dick, yes, baby, Unh Fuckkkk-
Y/N hummed with satisfaction when his thick nut entered her mouth. The noises from her sucking mixed with Adonisâs heavy breathing was like a sensual beat. The video seemed to skip and now Y/N was back on the counter lying flat on her stomach. Adonis popped the cap to the caramel syrup, tipping it over and squeezing some all over Y/Nâs ass. She starts to make her cheeks bounce while Adonis creates sticky patterns all over her flesh and back. Y/N reached behind her to rub it in before arching her back. She sucked on her fingers to clean the caramel while moaning at the same time.Â
âLook at that cream, makes me so fucking hard,â The caramel has Y/Nâs cheeks sticking together, âthatâs what Iâm talking about.âÂ
âUnh,â Y/N reaches beneath her to spread her pussy lips open while shaking her ass, âThat shit is sticking to my asshole,â Y/N giggles.Â
Adonis didnât say a word since that was an open invitation to lick the caramel from her ass. Y/N started thrusting her hips back, smashing Adonisâs face between her cheeks. Caramel stained his face and matted his facial hair but he kept on going.Â
âDamn, Donnie, fuck.â
He lifts for air, before slapping her ass, his fingers sticking to her skin like adhesive. The only things they havenât touched yet were the fudge syrup and cake. Y/N drags the cake towards her, using her hand to grab some of it and smashes it in Adonisâs face. He didnât expect that change at all. Adonis stumbles backward while Y/N giggles drunkenly on the counter. Sheâs on her back now, clutching her stomach with her cake covered fingers.Â
âYou got jokes now!!! After I just ate your ass!!! This is how you thank me, Y/N,â Adonis pulls on her ankles.Â
âAww but you look so sexy with cake on your face,â She lifts up from the counter, attempting to sooth him by rubbing the buttercream frosting from his cheek but Adonis slickly grabs cake, smashing it on her face. Y/N writhed in his arms, both of them having a food fight with the cake all over the kitchen. They slipped as they ran around the kitchen counter before Adonis got the upper hand, pulling her to the messy floor. They were out of view for a second but the video skips again to Adonis pinning Y/N down to the floor with her back arched.Â
âYou wanna make a mess on daddy you better make a mess on this dick with this creamy pussy.âÂ
Holding the camera high above his head, Adonis spanks his dick on Y/Nâs pussy before sinking into her with one long stroke. His free hand rubbed the frosting and cake pieces all over her round ass before stroking her at a moderate pace, relishing in her sweet cream coating his dick.Â
âCream all over daddyâs dick baby,â Adonis spoke roughly while looking up into the camera with his cake stained face, âthis beautiful brown ass...my cinnamon swirl...show me how much you really wanna make my birthday special, fuck my dick.âÂ
âDonnie-
âI told you to call me Daddy,â Adonis reminded her. He sits the camera down, propping it up so that it could record him fucking her from below. All you can see is Y/Nâs breasts bouncing, Adonisâs balls smacking her clit, and his hard dick going in and out of her pussy.Â
âMy daddy...my champ,â Y/N spoke breathlessly, âOooh shit-
Adonis started fucking her hard from behind, something he liked to do especially when heâs riled up. He loved it when Y/N called him her champ, it boosted his ego and made his dick harder knowing that he is indeed the super heavyweight champion of the world. He was delivering heavy, G spot stimulating strokes that had Y/N trembling.Â
âTalk to me, baby, tell me where Iâm at?âÂ
âBig black dick is in my stomach.â Y/N whimpered.Â
âBounce that ass baby, bounce it,â Adonis grabs the camera to focus on Y/N fucking his dick, âYou got that bubble butt on you, daddyâs favorite, you got my dick throbbing you know what that means, right?â
âFuck me like that, daddy, ooooh God, mmm, yes, shove that big dick in my pussy ooooh God,â Y/Nâs pussy slips off of Adonisâs dick, her squirt gushing out like water would when you untangle a water hose.Â
âThatâs how I always get you,â Adonis grabs Y/Nâs arm, turning her around onto her back, âlegs up...I want you to look into the camera...look into the lens like you have an audienceâŠshow them how daddyâs dick makes you react.â
Y/N sucked cake from her lips while staring into the camera with focused eyes. Adonis has the bottle of fudge syrup in his hands now, turning it over and covering Y/Nâs chest, stomach, and inner thighs with it.Â
âLegs up, girl,â Adonis commands. Y/Nâs legs went up and out causing Adonis to shudder. The contrast of her pretty pink pussy against the dark brown of the fudge reminded him of a surprise chocolate with filling.
âThis shit is so sexy...after this Iâm licking you up and down,â Adonis rubs his dick back and forth over Y/Nâs pussy lips before massaging her clit with it, âMy favorite thing to do with you is go nice and slow so you can feel all of me.â
âDaddy, yess, you are in my pussy,â She kept her eyes focused on that camera no matter how hard she wanted to tear her eyes away to watch his dick beat her pussy up, âshit that Goddamn curve...that shit is hitting the bottom of my pussy,â Y/Nâs mouth widened, âooooh, fuckkkkkk you ainât playing!â
All you can see is Y/Nâs breasts slowly bouncing and her pretty face. At that moment, she closed her eyes, every feeling of happiness and ecstasy going through her immediately. She began to experience chills the more he fucked her deeply. He was stroking her A-spot, the lower part of her vagina. Adonis focused the pressure of his dick right there, never stopping.
âOoooomigodddd,â She spoke all in one sentence, âHis dick was bottoming out in her pussy the more his strong, toned hips met hers. That slow stroke has Y/Nâs vaginal walls tingling around his dick, âDonât stop, donât stop youâre right there on my spot oooooo!!â
Adonis went fast with a few strokes before going at a leisure pace again. Sitting up on his knees, Adonis focuses the camera on his messy dick and Y/Nâs creamy pussy.Â
âGoddamn, baby, love seeing you get like this...mmm just how I love it...taking all of my thickness...daddy is about to cumâŠâ
âAhhhhh fuckkk!â Y/N tried sitting up on her elbows but the floor was too slippery, âYes yes yes yes yes!!!â Y/N rubbed the fudge syrup into her skin like lotion before bringing her fingers to her mouth to suck on like a pacifier. With her eyes low and hazy, Adonis pounds her pussy desperate, his strong arms wrapped around her thighs while his dick burrows deep into the bottom of her pussy.Â
âFuck me...fuck me...oh yeah that dick is getting thicker fuck meeee.â
UGH YES,â Adonis held himself still inside of her while his dick emptied his cum, âjust draining my nut,â Adonis pulls his dick out, his cum oozing from Y/Nâs pussyz. Y/N reached down to spread her pussy lips open while Adonis got a close up of the cream pie that he created.Â

summary:Â a long time friendship with nishinoya turned into a friends with benefits relationship a few months ago. both of you had your reasons for it to remain that way, but an unexpected situation may make both of you reconsider your agreement.
pairing: nishinoya x reader
warnings: references to sex, drinking and emergency contraception. not described. this is pretty sfw apart from that.
words:Â 1.9k
notes: i got inspired by two really good songs! âlike a friendâ and âsomething changedâ by pulp <3 check them out i really like them~
âPizza is the best way to celebrate thisâ, you had said after opening the door to him, a big smile on your face. He had entered your apartment with a laugh as if he had been able to sleep the night before.
He knew it wasnât something they could have prevented. In fact, it was because they wanted to think ahead that they got into that mess in the first place. He could still remember the panic that made his whole body shiver when, as he was about to discard the used condom, he noticed a big tear on it. He stayed petrified long enough for you to ask him if there was anything wrong, and even when the storm had passed, Nishinoya still didnât know how he ended up explaining it to you. He did remember both of you frantically dressing up in horror and then running to your car to go to the nearest drugstore.
He thought that would be the end of it. You swallowed the pill with a bottle of juice he bought for you and assured him there was nothing to worry about. That the chance of getting pregnant after taking that pill was close to zero, so he could breathe again. And he did. He was researching for a new place to travel when you had called him up, asking if he could bring you some food and a couple of painkillers. Scared, he did as told and quickly headed to your dorm room.
He found you curled on a ball, lights off and a small frown on your face. Looking at his worried face, you tried to explain it was a side effect to the Plan B pill and that you should feel better the next day, but your head hurt too much to go to the drugstore yourself. He was horrified when he learnt there were side effects, even more surprised when you told him your boobs were also hurting a lot.
Having heard enough, Nishinoya decided to stay the night. He put on a movie on your laptop, dimmed the brightness of the screen and lowered the volume on it so it wouldnât be too uncomfortable. After eating something and taking the medicine he had brought, you were able to finally fall asleep with your head on his chest and your legs tangled with his.
That had been almost a month ago. Now, you were sitting on your bed, sharing a pizza with him. You had called him earlier to inform him you had gotten your period and now the nightmare was really over. Before he could say anything else, you had asked him over to eat something, as a small celebration for not âfucking it upâ.
"You're gonna eat that?" you asked, pointing to the last slice. Nishinoya snapped back from his thoughts and smirked at you.
"If I take it, you're going bite my hand off, so no."
"Hey! Don't be mean, I could have been the mother of your children," you teased, grabbing the slice and biting down on it. You chewed with a happy hum and took your phone to look at the notifications, not noticing your joke had made your best friendâs smile fade almost instantly.
Nishinoya stayed in silence for a moment, his eyes fixed on the empty box between you. His face was contorted in a stern expression, eyebrows knit together and his mouth a fine line.
"Would that have been so bad?"
You snapped your eyes back to him, taken aback by his words. Munching the food in your mouth, you kept waiting for a punchline that never came. You suddenly noticed Nishinoya's face was too serious for it to be a joke. Swallowing, you put the rest of the slice back on the box.
"... What?"
"I'm asking if having a kid together would have been so bad," he said. You took a napkin and cleaned your hands, rubbing them together a little harder than usual.
"Uh-- yes? You're leaving on another trip by the end of the month and I'm focused on uni. Of course it would have been bad," you explained with a small shrug.
"No, no. That's not what I'm asking," he retorted.
"You asked exactly that."
"No! Listen-- I'm asking if it would have been so bad if we... I don't know," Noya scratched the back of his head. "If we ended up together."
You blinked, confused. "What are you talking about?" you whispered. Your eyes darted to the side, trying to understand what your best friend was saying. No. There wasn't a chance he-- No. You shook your head. "You said you didn't want to have a girlfriend right now," you reminded him. "You said you wanted to travel and that's great! You said--"
"I know what I said," he interrupted you, impatiently. He stood up and started pacing around his room, thousand of thoughts swarming around his mind, his right hand now scratching the base of his neck. The aftertaste of your meal felt like poison in your mouth. Your heart was breaking at seeing him so conflicted, wishing there was something you could do or say to alleviate him.
"Yuu," you muttered, trying to calm him down. âYuu, come back to bed."
"It's just... I don't know," he sighed and stopped in his tracks. He turned his body to you and you realized how vulnerable he looked. His lost eyes immediately took you back to the night your friendship had changed.
Around six months ago, you had been invited by your uni friends to a party near your apartment. Since you had heard it was supposed to be one of the best parties of the semester, you had asked to bring a friend, which they agreed to. Not thinking it twice, you had asked Nishinoya. Even if he had refused at first since he had to leave for another one of his trips the next day, you had convinced him to accompany you. Which ended up being a good decision, since he offered to walk you home and make sure you got safe.
To that day, you could almost remember the yelp he made against your mouth when you kissed him, his lips not moving for the longest time. After a couple of seconds you had pulled away and asked if he was okay. His face was flushed red, his usual hyper persona long gone, his eyes fixed on yours, looking lost and shocked to his core.
âSorry, sorry, it was a bad impulse,â you had apologized, the rejection stinging a little harder than you had imagined.
âAreyoudrunk?ïżœïżœïżœ he had asked. You shook your head.
âYou saw the two beers I had. I mean, they did give me some liquid courage but Iâm not really--â
Your words were cut off by your best friend crashing his lips against yours. Never breaking the kiss, you had blindly walked back to your bedroom, laughing when his knees hit the edge of your bed and you ended up falling on top of him.
Nishinoya left to catch his plane before you woke up, not without leaving a note on the small whiteboard on your wall: âsorry!!!!!! had to catch my plane :( pls dont think i ran away. text me when u see this!! Â -noyaâ.
What you expected to be an awkward exchange, ended up being a comfortable talk between two longtime friends. You confessed you found the other one attractive but were also aware exploring a possible romantic route would be near to impossible. Nishinoyaâs constant travelling and the fact he was away many months a year plus your dedication to your uni classes made a bad combination to even try anything. You came to the conclusion it was only a one time thing and that you shouldnât think too much into it.
Never the less, as soon as he was back from his trip, you found yourself tangled on his sheets once more. Since you were still in the same situation you had been when it first happened, you agreed on it being just a way to release stress and to not let it, under any circumstances, ruin your friendship.
Just what you felt was happening in that exact moment as he looked back at you, hands in his pockets and his eyes filled with a mixture of worry and frustration.
âYuu, come here,â you insisted, patting the spot on the bed he had been sitting on. He nodded and you set the pizza box aside as he sat in front of you. You took a deep breath and took his hand in his. âWhatâs going on?
âThese past few months have been the happiest Iâve ever felt,â he sighed.
âBecause of the sex?â
"No, no, c'mon!" he whined in frustration. He let go of the hold you had in his hand to take both of yours, pulling you a bit closed to him. His eyebrows were furrowed in determination, a look you hadnât seen in since your highschool days. "Listen to me, okay? Listen. Yes, the sex is great. I love it, you're a goddess and the way you look when-- wait, no. No," he pressed his lids together and slapped his forehead. You couldn't supress a small giggle at his actions. "Okay. Okay. But it's not the sex. It's you. It's the late phone calls, the way you honestly laugh at my jokes and always know what to do or say when I need extra encouragement. It's the way you believe in me and the way you hug me every time I get home. I-- You make me want to--" he stuttered, the words tumbling against each other due to the high speed he was talking in. "Wherever I go -and I mean anywhere, yes, anywhere-, I think about you. And I know it wasn't the plan, you didn't want to get into another relationship-- I know all of that, I do. And I know I don't have what your exes had, I don't even go to college or have a degree but I--"
Once more, you heard him yelp when your lips crashed his. Only this time, he didnât waste time before kissing you back. You felt him smile as he put his hands on both sides of your face and moved his lips against yours. Chuckling, you pushed him on the bed to continue, the kiss lasting a couple more minutes before dissolving into a fit of giggles from both of you.
You pushed yourself up a bit to look at his face, a huge grin plastered on his face. He looked adorable and you felt yourself flowing with the emotions you hadnât let yourself feel for the last months. He was your best friend, had been for so many years, and a part of you wished you had seen him in a different light before. You werenât sure when your feelings had changed, but you did know there was no turning back now. Smiling back at him, you pressed a loving kiss on his lips before pulling away once more.
Just when you were about to say something, you noticed part of the pizza box peeking under his head.
âOh no,â you whispered, pulling him to sit up. When both of you saw the slice you had left earlier sticking to the back of his t-shirt, you couldnât help but break in loud laughter. Your eyes quickly filled with happy tears as Nishinoya grabbed his belly, both of your bodies shaking as you couldnât stop laughing. Of course only both of you would have turned a confession into a comedic scenario. Even so, as you helped him remove the food from his t-shirt, you couldnât help thinking you wouldnât have it any other way.

Sugar and Spice
Chapter 2
Sorry this one is slightly shorter, I just wanted to get the actual information and plot with all the complicated bits out of the way lol and liked the way this ended đ next week will be a much longer chapter with more fun stuff. I hope everyone enjoys đ
Warnings: medical discussions, talk of a procedure (IUI) (Intrauterine Insemination), discussion of pregnancy
1.7K words
ââââ
So much paperwork.
Peter and Tony felt like they were drowning in paperwork, something new to fill out or finalize every time they got a chance to relax. It was exhausting.
They kept telling themselves that it was worth it. It would all be worth it to have their beautiful baby in the end.
Theyâd had in their minds that Beatrice was going to be their surrogate since that first in-person meeting with her. So all it had taken was finishing up the remainder of the official process for them to have it all in writing. No more tense meetings, very little questions or concerns. She was who they wanted. And she was happy to work with them.
It was beyond relieving when they got the notice that they had finally finished all of their side of the legal process. And Beatrice was finishing up hers as they spoke.
It wouldnât be too much longer before the insemination process started. Then things would really get rolling.
Everyone involved was excited.
Peter laid in bed with Tony the night it was all finalized, arms wrapped around his husband. They had laid in silence for a while, each thinking their own thoughts and processing the events of the busy day.
Theyâd finished up their paperwork. Beatrice had finished hers just before their lawyer closed his office for the night. Just in time. So the rest of the process could be started in the morning.
Tony sighed softly, breaking Peter out of his thoughts.
âWhat is it?â He asked softly.
âI just...are you sure that youâre okay with the baby biologically being mine? And not yours,â Tony asked quietly. It had been on his mind a lot. He knew theyâd been through it all, pros and cons, and decided together. But he wanted to be sure that his husband wouldnât regret it.
Peterâs expression softened. âOf course itâs okay. And- aside from all the paperwork for it being finished now- thereâs nothing Iâd do to change it. This is the best option, Tones.â
It was no secret that Tony was getting older. And there was no telling how much longer he would be fertile enough to help conceive a child. Peter was still younger, if they later decided to have another child then he would be the donor. But for this baby, it was decided that Tony was the best choice.
âOkay, honey. Okay. If youâre sure.â Tony turned slightly, kissing Peter gently. âThis is just such a big thing. I want everything to be perfect. No regrets.â
âI promise you there wonât be any regrets. I promise, Tony,â Peter whispered. âNow...itâs been a long day, yeah? We should get to sleep. You get cranky if you donât get your eight hours,â he teased.
Tony huffed softly, trying to mask the laugh that came with it. âSays Mr. Iâll kill you if you wake me up before eight.â
Peter laughed, holding his husband close. He moved one leg over his hip, relaxing as he got into a more comfortable position. âSleep. Then weâll both be happy.â
âUh huh. Goodnight, honey.â
âGoodnight, grumpy.â
ââââ
They were in contact with Beatrice the next morning, going over all that would have to be done.
A meeting was set up for a few days later so they could talk face to face. And it was the last time theyâd see each other before the actual procedure.
Being so close to the big day made both nerves and excitement high.
They met up at the same cafe as before, gathered around the table and were comfortable as they talked.
âYou donât need to worry, Iâve already been monitoring my cycle for weeks now, since we started talking. Just so we wouldnât have to wait too long to see where things were, yeah?â Beatrice told them with a smile.
It wasnât her first time, so she already knew what to expect. And she was happy to walk the couple through the entire process.
âYeah, thatâs really helpful. Perfect, even.â Tony nodded. âSo...whatâs next?â
âNext we do the actual IUI because if we donât within twenty four hours of ovulation, weâve gotta wait all over again. And thatâs not ideal.â
âAnd- so youâve already got the stuff?â Tony asked her, fingers tapping at the table. It wasnât that he was ashamed of what they were doing- it just didnât seem like appropriate coffee shop conversation to ask if she had his sperm samples. So he tried to casually avoid the actual phrasing.
âDonât make it sound like Iâm doing drugs, please.â Beatrice laughed. âBut yes, I have the stuff. If you donât want to call it what it actually is. The procedure is gonna be done tomorrow, if you want to come see me or anything.â
Peter tugged on Tonyâs arm gently. âWeâll definitely come see you,â he assured the woman. âYou have to stay there a little while, right?â
âYep! Gives everything a chance to settle in andâŠâ she gestured vaguely towards her stomach. âYknow. Take hold.â She chuckled.
The man nodded. âThat makes sense. But...thereâs a chance it wonât take after just the first cycle,â he said nervously. âRight?â Heâd done a lot of research, wanting to understand what sheâd be going through for them.
She sighed softly. âThereâs always that chance. But we just have to hope for the best. Iâve been on medications that are supposed to increase fertility, your man here has nothing wrong with his end of the bargain, so we should be good to go.â She gave him a reassuring smile.
âYouâre just going to say everything but the technical term now, arenât you?â Tony asked, trying not to look amused. He failed.
âOh, thatâs on you. You refused to say it first, now Iâm gonna do everything I can to avoid saying it as well,â Beatrice said innocently. âWouldnât want to make my intended parents uncomfortable.â
Peter laughed, covering his mouth. Oh, there was no doubt in his mind that she was the perfect person to be helping them. There were a lot of other good factors, but the fact that she had a sense of humor and was even willing to tease Tony made everything that much easier. Nothing tense between any of them. It was all light and fun and as easy as possible.
âOkay, yeah, I guess I did start this,â Tony agreed, snorting. âWhatever. Have your fun.â He gave her a more sincere smile. âBut I do hope everything goes well tomorrow.â
âItâll be fine,â she assured them. âNothing I havenât done before.â
âNot too much pain?â
âNot much. And Iâve been through worse, so itâs alright. And itâll be worth it,â she told them. âIt will all be worth it to me for your baby.â
Her phone chimed and she glanced down to check the notification. She smiled a little. âMy ex is dropping off Nikki. So I can let you guys go,â she told them, answering the text quickly. Sheâd told them all about her own daughter during their various meetings, gushed about how much she loved her.
She really loved being a parent. And she loved being able to help others be the same.
âMaybe we could-â Peter stopped himself, shaking his head. âSorry. That was definitely overstepping. Forget it.â He didnât want to overstep, asking to meet the womanâs child. It was different than asking to meet a child she was just a surrogate for, he knew, but he still didnât want to make her uncomfortable at all.
âNo, finish what you were going to say. Itâs okay,â she told him.
âI just...maybe we could meet her? I donât know, I just kind of want to meet your daughter.â He smiled a little. He wanted to meet the girl that would technically be his childâs half sister. And he kind of wanted to see Beatrice interacting with her daughter.
âOf course! Yeah, thatâs totally okay,â Beatrice assured him. âSheâll be here in just a couple minutes. Iâll warn you, sheâs kinda shy, but you two are fairly calm so she should warm up quickly.â
Peter glanced to Tony. âI mean, Iâm calm. You might have to work on it,â he joked.
âI bet sheâll like me sooner than sheâll like you,â he challenged.
Beatrice snorted, shaking her head. âAre you fighting over my kid now? Maybe you two should just get home and relax. Already trying to be competitive.â
Tony laughed. âNah, weâll be fine. I wanna meet the little squirt. And-â
His phone went off, lighting up with a notification from Pepper. âShit, I must have forgotten something.â He read over the text, wincing. âForgot to send her that document...Which is sitting on my desk at home. Tell Nikki weâre sorry we missed her, next time. Iâve gotta get this to Pep.â
Peter pouted, bottom lip poking out. He knew they had to get home. But it didnât mean he had to like it. He had really wanted to meet the girl. But he figured that it could wait until a little later. It wasnât like there was much choice. âOkay, okay.â
He stood up, pushing his chair in. âWeâll see you tomorrow, B, the procedure is atâŠ?â
âNoon,â she answered, a soft smile on her face.
âThen we'll be there at one. Does that sound alright?â He asked, grabbing his phone and tucking it into his pocket.
Beatrice nodded. âOf course. Iâll see you then!â She said happily.
âWeâll be thinking of you,â Tony told her. âHoping everything goes smoothly. And weâll be right there once itâs done.â
âThat sounds perfect,â she told them. âNow shoo, donât want you to miss anything for work. Iâll see you tomorrow. Iâll text you when Iâm going in and once Iâm out.â
The couple nodded, saying their goodbyes and heading to the car.
âSweet guys,â Beatrice murmured to herself, smiling. She glanced up when she heard an enthusiastic âMommy!â and caught the four year old that ran to her.
Being a parent was something she loved more than anything. And as she hugged Nikki close, she watched Tony and Peterâs car drive away.
Being a parent wasnât something sheâd recommend for everyone. But she was beyond thrilled to be able to help others that clearly were going to be good parents. She was happy to be able to give them the opportunity.

The Medusas - Part 2
Pairing : Mayans MC x Plus Size Reader ; Ezekiel âEZâ Reyes x Plus Size Reader (platonic)
Warnings : Language, AngstÂ
Word Count : 2.3k
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, nor the universe where they were created and interact in. This series/fiction is only for entertainment purposes.
A/N : This part should have been posted only after I wrote Part 3 but I had amazing news the past two days, so I decided to post the next part tonight  :)Â
You sat at your usual favorite spot waiting for EZ to arrive. âWhat can I get you cariño?â, asked the waitress. âIâll just get a glass of water for now, please.â âThat is a good choice considering the weather today. Got to stay hydratedâ, she said to which you chuckled and agreed. She brought you the glass and a plate of fresh fruits. You were about to protest since you didnât order it but she shushed you. âBossâs ordersâ, she commented and pointed at the counter. You followed her gaze and saw Martha lift her own glass. You walk up to her and thanked her with a kiss on the cheek. When Marisol couldnât take care of you, Martha would be the one doing so. She walked out of the counter and sat beside you. âWaiting for EZ?â, she asked. âYeah, he should be here any secondâ, you said while checking your watch. When you didnât hear any comment from Martha you looked up, analyzing her expression. âWhat?â, you broke the silence. She shook her head, âNothing, just wondering why youâre keeping your feelings from him.â âIâŠIâm notâŠWeâre just friends and you know that.â She hummed and gave you the famous âyou think youâre fooling meâ look.
âPlus, he has a girlfriendâ, you blabbered quickly. Her eyes softened and a sad smile crossed her lips. âDonât look at me like that. I knew what to expect from the beginning. I donât want any pity, it will passâŠeventuallyâ, you tried to convince yourself more than her. âI only want the best for you, we all doâ, she simply stated. You nodded in acknowledgement and saw her leave the booth, going back to work. Lost in the book you were reading, you finally decided to check your watch and realized an hour had passed. You texted EZ, asking where he was but received no reply.  Worried you made your way down the street to the Carniceria Reyes. You saw Felipe and Angel behind the counter and smiled at his words. âYou want a sandwich, then you got to know how to do it by yourself from scratchâ, exclaimed Felipe. Angelâs whining was what made you laugh out loud. Both of them looked at you, not having realized someone entered the shop.
âHey Princesa, how are you?â, joyfully exclaimed Angel while reaching out to you and engulfing you in a side hug. âIâm good Pollito. You?â, you said and laughed some more looking at his contorted face from the pet name. âI was before you called me âsmall chickenâ, feigning he was hurt. His serious features faded hearing you laughing. They all loved your contagious laugh, an explosion of happiness filling the room. You closed the gap and gave him a kiss on the cheek, whispering âI know deep down you like it.â âYeah, yeahâ, he mouthed under his breath, starting his sandwich. You greeted Felipe and Marisol who joined the entry once hearing your voice. âI was wondering if youâd know where EZ is. We were supposed to meet an hour ago but heâs not responding to my texts and Iâm worried something happenedâ, you say and notice their faces and posture change at your words.
Angel was looking at the bread in front of him while Felipe glanced at Marisol. âIâm sorry Y/N, we didnât know he had something planned with you otherwise...â âI lend him the truck. He said he had to go to Emilyâs. I wouldnât if I knew he already had a compromise somewhere elseâ, explained Felipe. âOhhâ, you exclaimed, everything making more sense. He was with her. Everyone in the room felt unease and you cut your visit short. âIâm sorry, I didnât mean for you to rat on him. I was just wondering why he missed it but itâs ok, itâs fine. Iâm gonna go.â Marisol reached for your fingers and squeezed it. You tried to fight the emotion submerging you. âHave a nice evening and sorry again. Enjoy your sandwich Angelâ, you said before leaving, the fresh air cooling your burning face off.
EZ arrived an hour later home, a huge smile plastered at his face. Once he entered the living room, he saw his parents and brother looking at him firmly. EZ recognized disappointment in his motherâs eyes. âWhatâs wrong?â, he asked confused. âThink brother. Didnât you forget about something, someone?â, commented Angel annoyed. Thinking about his day, EZ didnât seem to understand his brotherâs words. âWerenât you supposed to meet Y/N three hours ago?â He closed his eyes firmly, cursing under his breath. âShit I totally forgot I planned something with her. I got so caught up on Emily and then my phone died.â Angel stood up, shaking his head and left the room not in the mood for any of it. He already knew what would happen. You would forgive him because thatâs just how you are, their parents wouldnât even give him some sort of speech and everything would go back as normal. âIâm gonna call her right nowâ, exclaimed EZ.
He called you but got no response. On your side, you just got off the shower, washing the day off when you grabbed your phone. You wanted to click on your favorite chill playlist when you saw the notifications on your phone. Several calls and texts, all from EZ. He profoundly apologized for having missed the meeting, promising that he would make it up to you. You shook your head before replying, âItâs ok but next time a headâs up that you wonât make it would be great!â He kept apologizing again and told you he would wait for you the next day after class. You only replied that you were tired and that you would talk more the next day. The following day went by like all the others: wake up, shower, breakfast, boring class after the others. When you exited, you heard a male voice call for you. You knew the sound of the voice by heart and smiled nonetheless your inner anger from the previous day.
He gave you a side hug and a kiss on your forehead, apologizing once more. âI told you it was forgiven now stopâ, you whined in his embrace. He let out a chuckle and smiled brightly. He opened the truckâs door for you before taking place behind the wheel. âWhatâs the plan?â, you turned to him. âThatâs a surpriseâ, he chuckled and drove out of the parking lot. He drove you on top of the hill, the breathtaking view of the city in display. âWowâ, you whispered in awe. He smiled and exclaimed, âI knew you would love it.â You spend the rest of the day with him, laughing, snaking, catching up. âI got accepted into Stanfordâ, he said and smiled when he saw your shocked expression transform into pride. You squeezed his bicep and manifested your happiness, âIâm so proud of you Ezekiel, you deserve it. You worked your ass off for this.â
After a while you decided to head back home. Dropping you off, you reached out to EZ and hugged him, congratulating him once more before getting out of the car. You didnât see or heard from him the following weeks. Either he was busy which you understand since he had to start planning his moving to Stanford or he was busy spending time with Emily. On your side, you decided to spend your free time at the club or at Cocoâs where Angel who would sometimes tag along.
âHowâs your brother?â, you asked Angel once. He shook his head, unaware of his brotherâs whereabouts. âI guess heâs fine. He spends most of his time with his girl now.â âYeah, I noticedâ, you scoffed. The annoyance that crossed your features wasnât missed by the two men. They sensed that EZâs relationship was affecting you even if you refused to admit it. Everyone at the club noticed the tension on your body. When your father confronted you about it, you lied telling him it was because of the exams. Truth to be told, you were jealous and you felt stupid about it. You only wanted his happiness but you knew that Emily had a bad influence on him. Besides the obvious jealousy, you were scared to lose your best friend, to grow apart and become strangers. Losing him was one of your biggest fear.
You made your way to the Carniceria in order to grab some meat for the clubâs party tonight. You greeted Felipe and made small talk before your conversation was crashed by EZâs voice coming from the back. âYo Pop, do you have another apron some-âŠOh hi Y/Nâ, his question cut short when he saw you. You nodded at him before turning to Felipe who excused himself. âIâll leave you 5.â A strange silence filled the shop and you tried to break it the best you could. âHow are you?â, you asked him. âIâm good and you?â âFineâ
âLook Iâm sorry I havenât reached out so much, itâs just a lot going on latelyâ, he justified himself. You shook you head, âDonât worry, you donât need to apologize. I get it. Moving out and all can do that.â He cracked his neck before scratching it. âYeah about that, Iâm going to take a gap year.â You frowned in confusion. âWhat?â He stepped closer, his hands now on his pockets. âI talked with Em and she only has a year left. Weâre planning on moving together and attend the same college, so in the meantime Iâll work here with Pop and earn some money, waiting until she graduates.â You were stunned, not believing what you were hearing.
âAre you fucking kidding me?!â, you turned to him. âAre you telling me that youâre fucking declining Stanford, put a hold on your future just for some girl?â He shook his head, starting to get irritated. âIâm not declining just postponing and why are you acting like this? Sheâs not just some girl.â âSheâs toxic! You may not see it now because you love her but she is.â You saw his body tense and his eyes narrowing but you couldnât stop yourself. âIâm not saying this to hurt you. Iâm trying to protect you by opening your eyes before itâs too late. She will destroy you.â
âY/N stop. Emily was right, she immediately saw it and told me. I didnât want to believe it at first. I know you like me more than friends but I would never think you would go so far as trash talk the woman I loveâ, he exclaimed. You clenched your jaw, no need to back off from the affirmation. âIt wasnât on her to tell you that. If I didnât, it was because I had my reasons.â He scoffed, âSo youâre not denying it.â âNo. I do love you but telling you doesnât change anything and thatâs not the issue here. The issue is you waiting for her, just like thatâ, you admitted. Â
You kept trying to convince him that he was doing a bad decision but he didnât want to listen. âIâm old enough to make my own choices. I choose to wait for her. She didnât impose it or herself compared to others.â âWhat is that supposed to mean?â, you asked, your blood boiling. âYou know damn well what I mean. Our friendship was imposed to us because we were children, I didnât choose it and then it was too late. I⊠I have a future planned out and Iâm not sure anymore if I want you and that energy in itâ, the words vomiting from his mouth. Itâs only when the room got silent, that he acknowledged the nonsense he just told you. He regretted saying it the second it left his mouth and even more when he saw the sadness and hurt taking over your features.
âYouâre willing to risk our friendship for her? Well what I thought was a friendshipâ, you whispered. âY/N, I didnât ââ, he tried to take it back but it was too late. Â âAs you wishâ, you whispered still in shock before leaving the store. He took a deep breath and turned around, cleaning his tears with the back of his hand when he saw his parents gaze switch from him to the ground. Not taking it anymore, he reached the door and ran against Angel who was making his way inside. âWatch out! Pendejoâ, cursed the older brother cleaning the soda of his shirt. âYO where you going?â, he shouted after EZ who disappeared around the corner.
Bishop was exiting the Templo when he saw you on couch, your blank gaze fixed on the opposed wall. âEverything alright querida?â, he asked concerned, taking a seat next to you. You didnât hear him at first but turned your head when you felt a small pressure on your arm. You came across 4 worried Mayans, their eyes on you. You shook your head slightly, trying to chase away your thoughts. âYeahâ, you replied with a fake smile that didnât go unnoticed to the men. Bishopâs eyes crossed his brothers in acknowledgment and stood up, giving you his hand. âLetâs head home.â Once home, your father reached out to you in a hug and asked once more what was wrong. âItâs nothing. EZ and I just had a fight itâs all. It will be fixed soonâ, you said naively. âDo you want me to kick his ass?â, he said to which you shook your head and disengaged from his hug. âDonât worry.â âI will always worry about you princesa. Youâre my daughter and I love youâ, he confessed. You knew he did but hearing him say it out loud was so rare that you plunged once more in his arms, silent tears sliding don your face. Quickly turning around and hiding your state from him, you told him you would change clothes and prepare dinner.

I Wouldn't Fall For Someone I Thought Couldn't Misbehave
Cojeel | Mentioned Lulev + Stingue | Rated: M (Nothing Super Explicit but ends with Very Spicy Fluff)
When Gajeel signed on for helping re-stabilize the Magic Council after the bombings, he didn't expect all the redundant paperwork, nosy coworkers, or the smokin' hot redhead that likes to play dangerous games with him.
And he should really learn to lock his front door... but why should he? He's practically rewarded for leaving it unlocked!
Aka the post-Rhodonite/Road Knight oneshot that my brain decided to inspire me to write by repeatedly chanting "COBRA SHOW HIS LEGGY" repeatedly until I finished writing it.
[AO3] [FFN]
________________________
"Everything okay?"
"Nn?"
"You've been quiet," Levy reiterated.
"'Course I am, I've got all these bullshit reports to do," Gajeel grumbled, motioning to the mess of papers on his desk. "If I'd known helping clean up after the Council was gonna involve so much goddamn paperwork, I would've told 'em I can't read and saved a hundred trees."
"That's very noble of you," Levy said, unconvincingly flat. She leaned her elbow on her desk, resting her chin in her hand. Her honey brown eyes narrowed, watching him suspiciously. "I meant that you haven't seemed to be your usual self recently. You've been way more distracted lately."
He snorted dismissively. "I ain't you. Sue me for findin' never-ending paperwork boring."
"Come to think of it," Levy ploughed on, "It started right after that mission to recapture that Oracion Seis member." She tapped her index finger against her chin, feigning thought. "And he got awayâŠ"
Gajeel sharply eyed her.
His position in the New Magic Council was⊠unique. Gajeel was only handed cases regular Rune Knights couldn't handle - he was a Dragonslayer whose magic made near-unbreakable iron objects and also happened to be an expert tracker, so he became the guy who could track and capture the more elusive, difficult targets.
An escaped, dark mage Dragonslayer? Right up his alley.
Officially⊠Gajeel had found Cobra, but the sudden issue of an active child trafficking ring took precedence and Cobra 'got away' in the mess of it all.
Unofficially⊠Gajeel had found Cobra and they'd exchanged blows at first. Testing each other until Cobra's real target had revealed itself. Then the two Dragonslayers tore those kidnappers to shreds. Once the kids were safe with Council forces, Gajeel had managed to track Cobra down again a few remote towns over. (Gajeel tracked him; Cobra didn't 'let' Gajeel find him again - nope! Finding him again was all Gajeel!) And that's where everything got a lot messier and a lot hotter⊠and a lot stickier...
Dragons were very much creatures that abided by the Universal Law of the Four F's - food, fight, flee, or fuck - sometimes there was a Fifth F in there, too⊠something about "Friend" or whatever.
Gajeel meeting Natsu? Fight on sight.
Meeting Laxus? Yeah, there was a Fight, but Gajeel was a little more honest with himself these days that he had actually wanted to Flee the Thunder God.
Wendy and Rogue? He guessed that's where "Friend" came in. Maybe also Food somewhere mixed up in there; they both really needed to eat more. That counted, right?
That blonde idiot mated to his brother? Well⊠if Sting weren't practically plastered to Rogue's side every waking minute of the day, Gajeel wouldn't mind a Fight with him. (Besides, the guy reminded him too much of Salamander.)
But meeting Cobra? That was the first time his inner dragon skipped past all the other F's - looked right at that cocky little shit-eating elf - and decided on Fuck. And it soon became apparent that Cobra's inner dragon had come to the same conclusion about Gajeel.
It was not at all what he had expected when he'd been handed that case file. He'd expected a Fight and not a Fuck. And while he got both - he was getting plenty of the second one. Even now.
He wasn't stupid: Cobra would do a lot more good out there slaughtering slavers than locked back up for, what? Crimes he committed as a teenager? (Following that mission, Gajeel had checked what was left of Cobra's file after the bombings. While he was sure the redhead had done much worse than what was in there, legally all they could hold him on now was "association with dark mages" and a couple of assassinations they "suspected" him of.) Killing traffickers the Council couldn't (or wouldn't) go after was basically community service, in Gajeel's opinion.
An added plus to all that "community service" was that Cobra sometimes showed up after Gajeel was done with a mission. Always approached him alone, always knew where they wouldn't be seen, always teasing so many somethings without saying anything directly. And sometimes whispered somethings led to somewheres - like the bed of a shitty inn for the night or a tent deep in the woods... or that alley behind that diner that one time.
"It's okay to give yourself some slack, you know," Levy's voice dragged him unwillingly out of his thoughts. "Sure, you didn't catch him. But you saved twelve kids and stopped more from being kidnapped. That's an accomplishment, too!"
Gajeel rolled his eyes. He 'hasn't been himself'... tch, yeah - 'cause he's been getting regularly fuckin' laid! He wanted to brag and practically had to bite his tongue to force himself not to.
"I don't really care that much about catching him," he half-lied. He did want to catch Cobra - to keep chasing and catching him, over and over - he just didn't want to arrest the poison dragon. "I ain't beating myself up over that. I've- Look. It's somethin' else, okay?"
The short bluenette blinked her surprise at him before her mouth widened into a smirk. "I just wanted to make sure you're okay," she said, pretending to go back to her own stack of reports. "I thought you might have been upset about the Cobra situation. But from that reaction, I'd almost guess you were seeing someone."
Gajeel forced a scowl in an attempt to squash the heat rising to his face. "So? Even if I was - and I'm not sayin' I am - it's not a fuckin' crime." Except that in his case, it most certainly was. He snorted indignantly. "I didn't bother you half this much when you an' cosplay girl went away on that gal-pal trip to that couples-only hotspring."
Levy's eyebrows immediately arched at that. "Gajeel, you sent me a text message that contained a book, a bunny, and a scissor emoji. Fourteen times." She shook her head. "Lucy saw it and almost passed out from embarrassment because she doesn't know what a kind, supportive asshole you are."
He spluttered. "Don't remember, didn't happen."
"If you ever start dating someone, just know I'm going to have my revenge. Tenfold."
TWUNNNG.
The sound of a lone, reverberating guitar string being plucked played as his lacriphone buzzed in his pocket. (With his tough skin, he couldn't always feel when his phone vibrated. When he had first started using it, he had the notification sound set to an annoyed cat's meow, but Pantherlily refused to go out on missions with him if he didn't have his phone set to silent. Reluctantly, he'd change it to a guitar twang to appease his friend.)
The lock screen showed he had two messages from a number he didn't recognize.
The first message was an image. Taken from a bathtub... his bathtub! In his house! A leg - warm chestnut skin dripping wet as soap streaked down the exposed, toned thigh - casually hung over the side of his bathtub, suds and the shimmer of the overhead light on the water obscuring anything more tantalizing lurking below.
Light, faint purpling could be seen on the inner flesh of the thigh, and Gajeel's mouth went half-dry at the memory of suckling and pinching the soft skin there between his fangs.
The second message flat-out taunted Gajeel: [You should really learn to lock your doors, Mr. Councilman... who knows what kind of criminal could break in?]
Gajeel could practically feel the blood rushing from his rapidly blanking mind to somewhere much, much lower. He managed to hold back the approving, dragonish purr that threatened to rumble from his very core.
"So you are seeing someone," Levy troublesomely commented over Gajeel's shoulder, causing Gajeel to jolt and nearly fumble his phone onto the floor. That sneaky little shrimp! When the fuck did she even get there?! "You know, you don't have to hide it, we're friends. Who is she?"
Right. The pic was only of a leg. (And it was a fuckin' nice leg, the guy had a great pair of them with a perfect, shapely ass to match.) All Levy had seen was a leg. Sent from a burner phone, not that she'd know that just from the quick peek. Nothing identifiable.
Taking a few calming breaths, Gajeel grit his fangs in a friendly yet dismissive frown. "It's a he, Shrimpy. Don't go makin' assumptions 'bout who I bed." Despite how they picked on each other, she was his friend, and he'd toss her that one bone. "And he would prefer if my work life didn't go poking into our personal life. As a matter of fact, so would I."
Levy feigned thought for a moment. But the teasing, troublesome glint in her eyes remained. "You mean to tell me that he doesn't want to be seen with a grown man that collects Hello Kitten merchandise and refuses to lock his own front door?"
________________________
It was impossible to ignore the other male's scent in his home, warmly dampened by a recent bath. Gajeel tossed his uniform coat on the hook by the door and kicked his boots off in a hurry. The scent carried into the kitchen, where it was obvious a certain home invader had definitely helped himself to the contents of Gajeel's fridge, and he followed it to the living room and to who he knew was waiting there for him.
Gajeel knew who he was dealing with by now: Cobra went where he pleased, when he pleased. Nothing could hold him in one place for long and, knowing how much Cobra valued his freedom, Gajeel didn't care to try. Besides... the redhead was just as enticing whether he was standing in front of him or walking away - neither was a bad view.
And it wasn't a bad view that waited for him at all.
Freshly bathed and stretching the length of the couch lounged a certain redheaded poison dragon. His hair was still damp and⊠and Gajeel had to blink a few times, because Cobra was wearing his clothes: a loose black t-shirt and pair of gray sweatpants, both a little big on his lithe frame.
"What," the lounging elf playfully sneered, "Did you stop for flowers?"
Gajeel crossed the space between them in two strides and practically dove into the arms of the smaller man. Their mouths met and the battle for dominance began. And Cobra pulled, fought back in their embrace; he didn't lay there passively. Cobra was flexible and could move with ease, but Gajeel had more mass on his side and used it to his advantage as he rolled them both off the couch and onto the carpet.
He managed to pin Cobra beneath him, settling his hips between Cobra's legs, and almost losing all rational thought as he rutted against him.
The iron dragon's lips parted as a husky growl rumbled from his throat and slipped out past his fangs: "So ya broke in, used all my hot water, stole my clothes, and cleaned out my fridge? And you expect me to let you get away with that for free?"
Gajeel was far from mad. Cobra being in his house, seeing Cobra wearing his clothes, knowing his mate was sated by food he provided - it was all pulling right at that primal, possessive side of him in all the right ways.
"Not breaking in if you don't lock your doors," Cobra replied cooly. "You were practically asking for it."
Gajeel wanted to fuck him through the goddamn floor right there and then.
"Let's play a game," Cobra said, mouth still so close that their lips brushed with each word, single violet eye glinting up at the man above him.
"Yeah? Since when do you wanna play games...?"
Smirking, Cobra pulled back, knowing just how to egg Gajeel on: "If you're afraid you'll lose, I could always-"
Gajeel silenced him with a kiss, pressing him firmly against the floor with his body. "I like winning games," he rumbled, "'Specially against you."
"If I can pin you to the couch, I get to fuck you," Cobra explained the first part of the game.
The iron dragon immediately perked to attention. He loved when Cobra spoke dirty, and loved the sound of this game - just as much as Cobra knew he would. "That sounds kinda one-sided," he said, though he shifted his weight in anticipation anyways.
"Let me finish," the redhead scolded him, enjoying the way Gajeel's breath hitched as he pressed himself flush against him. Cobra's hand slid between them, sliding down, and his palm paid special, gripping attention to a growing bulge in Gajeel's pants. "If you can get me upstairs, you can tie me to the bed and do whatever you want to me."
Gajeel clenched his eyes shut as Cobra's hand squeezed suddenly, firmly, as a faint groan escaped him. "Really, you're s-sure?"
"Yeah," Cobra confirmed. It hadn't been too long ago that the thought of being tied up and fucked would have made him recoil, but he trusted Gajeel. He knew Gajeel had a thing for bondage and trusted him to not take things too far - and Gajeel wanted to show him that trust was not misplaced.
Iron claws surfaced and flexed, hungry fangs peeked out of Gajeel's mouth in barely contained urge. "Funny, you gave yourself the closer spot."
"You've got more muscle on your side."
"You've got fancy ears, you know what I'm gonna do," Gajeel pointed out.
Cobra gingerly traced a finger down Gajeel's jaw, fangs glinting in a devilish little grin. "When's that ever stopped you...?"
________________________
"Hn?" Gajeel cocked a studded brow, noting how easily his fingers had gone in.
The tied-up redhead under him still somehow managed to scrape up enough cockiness in his voice: "I was ready for either of us to win tonight."
"Ya mean ta tell me that you were up here pleasing yerself in MY bed and you just let me sit at my desk ALL FUCKEN DAY?!"
