#i was at a tattoo con the other day and there was a table selling a bunch of acrylic keychains of themed Redacted

[theswordwizard]

its absurd how increasingly common it is. i can perfectly understand having a gacha/box option at a discount for people who don't care, but let people just buy what they want. so many artist alley makers want to act like a big brand and copy whatever bullshit marketing scheme they see being done elsewhere to get a quick buck and its so embarrassing.

one of my least favorite things wrt individual artists selling mass-produced merch as business owners is when they start adopting fucking blind boxes/gacha as part of their business model. i'm sorry i just think that's a scumbag thing to do i know people like having fun opening surprise capsules and i think blind box options can be perfectly fine as a means of selling handmade or otherwise OOAK merch like leftovers/seconds from old lines. but i think designing shit specifically to sell to people who don't get a choice in what they're buying is kinda categorically evil to do as an artist.

i think it should be illegal for companies to sell blind box toys and shit but obviously that's never going to happen because the whole point of producing these things is to extract as much money as possible from collectors with bad impulse control (a demographic that makes up huge swathes of like anime convention attendees) but small artists love to talk a big game about how theyre like ~enriching the communities theyre part of with their work~. and then you're just going and adopting predatory marketing practices to try and make an extra buck off your fanbase lol. if you want to be a team player u can at least let the 16 year olds at your con table pick out which piece of plastic with an anime boy on it they're going to give you their allowance for. come on.

He hit me and it felt like a kiss He hit me and I knew he loved me If he didn't care for me I could have never made him mad But he hit me and I was glad

You were still very young when you learned that love was nothing like the cheesy romances you’d see on the big screen. Well, you didn’t actually have the money to go to the movies, but sometimes you found the way to sneak in and watch whatever was there to watch. You had a fascination for those stories, for those dancing images on the screen. They were made of pure light. Literally. While everyone was caught in the enchantment of the movie, you were the one to look behind your back and follow the light beam up until its source, looking straight at the small window from which the projector created the whole illusion of life before your eyes.

Most people want to escape from reality. They want to feel like their life has meaning, like it is just one plot twist away from being interesting. I didn’t. Maybe I should have, since mine was pretty shit. But I guess this was the whole reason why I was looking for the disenchantment. It’s like watching a magician. I’ve always been the type to be more observant, to look for the trick. Cause if there wasn’t any, then it would have meant that mine was the only pointless existence.

No one in your block had a penny to their names. Everyone dreamed of going away, of starting a new life and do something meaningful. But you knew that most of them would never make it. They were trapped.

We think of the key, each in his prison. Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison.

Those weren’t your words. They were Jungkook’s. Well, not his own words, actually. He had read them somewhere. He was the type to read, although he didn’t look like it at all. And you know how people who read are: they are good with words. They can shape reality with just a flick of their tongue. And damn if he got a way with words! That’s why you fell for him.

It wasn’t just the fact that he got the looks of an angel. He also talked like one. He could talk his way in and out of everything and you were pretty sure he could lie his way into heaven if he wanted to. He was an exceptional liar, a pathological one too. But you loved him anyway.

You believed him when he told you that he was going to turn your life upside down. Why wouldn’t you? He had already done it more times than you could count. He had done it since the day you first met in that dark movie theatre. You had always believed him and everything he said. He was the only man you ever loved, the first and the last you had sex with, and eventually the one you married.

He reminded you of your father. They had the same dangerous charm. Their eyes gleamed with the same light: that of a man who was willing to con the whole world and make it his own. Your father didn’t make it, though. He became a drunk mess and ended up in prison for attempted murder.

Only a pathetic fuck goes to jail for attempted murder. Either you go down for murder, or you don’t go down at all. That’s how much of a failure he was.

But you didn’t care about him. He used to beat your mother whenever he felt like it. Jungkook, on the other hand, never did that.

So, when he told you those words – “the less you know, the better” – you didn’t question him. You just believed him. And when he came home with a bag full of money and his hands covered in blood, you still didn’t question him. You just did as he asked and bent over the kitchen table to let him fuck you senseless.

You really didn’t care about what he did. Everyone in your block was somehow entangled with criminal activities. That’s just how it is when you can’t afford an honest life. What if he robbed a bank? What if he killed someone to get that money? So what? You’d love him anyway. You’d love him no matter what.

You still loved him when you heard the sirens wailing through the block and stop outside your shared house. You didn’t care about the fact that he just ripped your marriage into pieces. You always knew he was an Icarus.

“Don’t worry, baby. I’ll be home for dinner.” He told you with a cocky smirk, while being pushed inside the police car.

And again, you believed him.

He was the only magician who ever managed to deceive you into thinking that his was actual magic and not just a trick. But when the jury found him guilty of aggravated robbery and murder, you felt like the lights had gone off and the curtain closed on his magic show. It was over. And now you were left standing in a sad empty circus, with just the distant music of the carousel to remind you of the fact that it was all a rouse. A convincing one for sure, but still a rouse.

When you saw him being taken away from the trial, you thought about those words he told you years before.

We think of the key, each in his prison. Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison.

And you smiled to yourself. Somehow, even though your whole life had just gone to pieces, you found them ironic. Who would have thought, back then, that he would end up in an actual prison? Not you for sure.

The years had passed and although you never really moved on from Jungkook, you decided it was time for you to build a life for yourself. You were still young and pretty, so it wasn’t hard for you to fool some stupid rich boy from the city. Kim Seokjin was no Jeon Jungkook, but he had money and a steady job – one that could actually pay for rent, food and vices without raising any question from the authorities.

He didn’t know you were broke as fuck, and you did your best to hide it with the means you had and the cunning that your lowlife background had teach you. You would buy fancy dresses and hide the tag when you wore them, so that you could return them the day after. You would also tell Seokjin to come pick you up at work in Gangnam. You never worked there, of course, but he was dumb enough to believe you. It didn’t really matter: you planned on sleeping with him soon enough and let him knock you up. Men always get way too excited when you tell them that they can fuck you without putting on a condom.

What you didn’t plan, however, was to find yourself with a tattooed hand covering your mouth when one night you came back home from a date with Seokjin. At first you tried to scream and free yourself from the strong grip of the mysterious man that somehow got into your house, but you froze as soon as he spoke.

“Shh be quiet, baby. You want to be the one to rat me out?”

You’d recognize that voice among millions. It was Jungkook.

How did he get out? His sentence is not over yet. He still has to serve twenty more years.

You thought that by being quiet and staying still, he would loosen the grip on you, but he didn’t.

“Fancy dress you got here, honey.” He hissed, pressing his lips against your ear and making you shiver from his touch. His hand trailed along the side of your body, caressing the expensive fabric of the white dress.

“Was your new boyfriend, the one who bought it for you?”

Your eyes widened at that question and you again tried to free yourself without success.

“Yeah.. I know. I was surprised too when Yoongi came to visit me and told me you were seeing some fancy city boy with his head up his tuxedo-covered ass.”

You knew that no matter how soft his voice could sound, he was mad. He was always calm when he was really mad.. until he wasn’t calm anymore.

“I told him: no, Yoongi, there’s no way that’s true. My sweet Y/N would never do something like that. She is a faithful wife, not some dirty whore who’s ready to sell her cunt to the first Richie Rich who comes around.”

He chuckled darkly.

“But he brought me the photos. So I guess I was wrong.”

He abruptly turned you around, pushing your back against the wall. It was then, that you saw him. His hair got longer and he somehow got some tattoos on his right arm. His dark eyes were gleaming in the dark with a mischievous light that you had never seen on him – not when he was looking at you, at least.

His fingers tightened around your jaw, forcing you to look at him straight in the eyes.

“Did you let him touch you?”

“N-no.” You muttered, with your heartbeat racing fast and your eyes wide open like those of an innocent doe who was just caught by a cold-blooded hunter.

He pressed his body on yours, breathing heavily against your lips without breaking eye contact.

“If you are lying to me.. I’ll know, Y/N.” He hissed. And you knew that those words were a clear warning.

“I expect your cunt to be tighter than it was when I left. If it isn’t..” he chuckled, slightly tilting his head to the side and licking his lips while caressing gently your reddened cheek. “..well, I guess I’ll stretch your holes so wide that there won’t be any doubt about whose little whore you are.”

He didn’t give you any time to breathe, let alone answer. He pressed his lips on yours with such passion that he sucked the air out of your lungs. And you melted.

You still loved him, after all. You still craved for his touch, which you missed every single night that you’ve spent in your empty bed. Every time you touched yourself, you always closed your eyes and think of him: his hands, his lips, his toned body, his cock, his breath, his smell.. everything. No man could turn you on like he did.

You could tell he had changed. He got more violent, more possessive. But for some reason, that didn’t bother you. Somehow, in a fucked up way, you enjoyed it. It was like you just had the proof that he truly loved you. That you were sill his.

You run your fingers through his hair, tightening your grip while kissing him deeply. A muffled sigh escaped from your lips when his tongue entered your mouth, exploring every corner of it like that was the last kiss he was ever gonna give you.

“Touch me.” You murmured, like it was a prayer sent straight to God.

The first one that was actually answered, since Jungkook’s hands quickly slipped under your dress while you kicked off your shoes. He turned you around again, face against the wall, and removed your underwear.

You gasped at his touch on your wet entrance, arching your back so that he could see your pussy in its full glory.

“Fuck, I missed you so much.” He murmured, starting to run his palm on your pussy.

You moaned, grinding against his hand in search of his touch while he steadied your hips with the strong grip of his free hand.

“Already purring like a kitten, baby?”

Another moan escaped from your lips, this time loudly, when he inserted his middle finger in your throbbing core, feeling it clench around his touch.

“Such a good girl. You didn’t lie to me.” He commented in a hiss, inserting another finger to test your tightness and starting to pump his digits on your most sensitive spot.

“So tight. Will you be able to take my cock, baby?”

“Y-yes. Yes I will.” You answered in between your heavy breaths and moans, chasing the pleasure that his movements gave you.

You suddenly let out a sharp cry when you felt his hand slapping your ass cheek without notice. But the lingering pain had the only effect of heightening the pleasure and getting you even more wet.

Hu chuckled, spanking you one more time.

“Fuck! Jungkook!”

He had always loved it when you said his name during sex, and he still did apparently, since he started pumping his digits harder inside you. The lewd sounds of your pussy soon filled the silence of the night.

When his other hand reached your clit and started drawing quick circles around it, your legs started shivering and your eyes rolled back from the pleasure. If it wasn’t for the wall, you’d probably fall on your knees when the orgasm hit you. You moaned so loud that you almost sounded like a dying animal.

“That’s it baby. Cum for me.”

His words only made it worse and you couldn’t help but feel like a fire ball hit you right in the belly. Your walls clenched around his pumping digits and soon your climax reached an unprecedented high, making you ejaculate on his hand while waves of pleasure went through your body like an electric shock.

“Oh my God!” Was is reaction to the mess you just made.

He let out a satisfied laugh, retracting his fingers from your overstimulated core just to smear your arousal on your own lips.

“Open your mouth, baby. I want you to taste yourself – the way I make you feel.”

You obeyed, and even if you were still panting and barely able to function, you took his fingers in you mouth, rotating your tongue around them and sucking every drop of your own arousal before letting them out with a pop.

“Good girl.” He praised you softly, caressing your hair. “Now get on your knees for me.”

Again, you obeyed without hesitation while he unzipped his pants and pumped himself a few times in front of your face.

You looked up at him, licking your lips. You could still taste your slick on them, but you wanted something different. You wanted his taste. And you were so eager to get it, that you didn’t waste any time.

You soon wrapped your mouth around his hard cock, sucking it like it was your last meal. But letting you have it your way was not Jungkook’s plan. He grabbed a fistful of your hair, tying them up in a ponytail that was only held by his own hand, and started thrusting inside your mouth until tears were gathering at the corner of your eyes.

A deep growl escaped from his lips at the sight of your mouth stuffed with his cock and your messed up make up smeared all over your face.

“My little whore. Always so good for me.” He said through his panting, face fucking you like there was no tomorrow.

And probably there wasn’t gonna be one. For all you knew, the police could come at any moment and take him back to his cell – this time, forever. But, if anything, the thrill just added something extra to the whole situation, making it even more exciting.

The rhythm of his deep thrusts against your throat soon made you gag. And that was it. That was what he wanted, what he was looking for.

“Oh shit! Fuck, I’m coming, baby.”

His cum shot straight down your throat, filling you with his warm liquid. You loved his taste. You always had since the first time he sucked his cock. You were only fifteen back then, and you had no idea how to do it. But he was older than you and he guided your every movement, teaching you what he liked and what he wanted. You thought you’d spit him out, but you always swallowed. You liked it. You liked the taste of his orgasm and you liked to know that you were the one to make him cum like that.

“Take off your dress and bra.”

Your jaw was still feeling numb and your legs weak when he ordered you to undress, but you still obeyed, in a daze.

“Now bend over the couch.”

Again, you didn’t raise any question. You just crawled towards the couch and rested your chest on the pillows, closing your eyes while you tried to catch your breath. You could feel your heart beating strong, muffled by the padded fabric of the couch. The only other sound was that of his steps, getting closer and closer to you until he dropped heavily on his knees, resting his large hands on your ass cheeks and parting them.

He let out a pleased moan and you could feel his gaze devouring the most intimate part of your body. You didn’t even need to look or feel him to know that he was getting hard again. And you felt proud. You arched your back and spread your legs a big wider, offering him the whole show. You loved to know that he wanted you so bad. Just the thought of his desire aroused you more than anything else.

He chuckled, spanking you again and making you gasp at the sharp feel of his palm against your sensitive skin.

“God, you’ve always loved being a slut for me. Am I right?”

You thought the question was rhetoric, so you didn’t respond. But when he gave you another spank and bent over you, pulling your hair to get your ear closer to his lips, you knew he wanted to hear your voice.

“Answer me. Whose little slut are you?”

“Y-yours, Jungkook. I’m your little slut.”

He chuckled darkly, letting go of your hair while caressing your reddened ass cheek and pressing his lips on your ear.

“Good girl.” He praised you, slowly starting to align the tip of his cock with your wet entrance.

You whimpered at the feel, arching your back even more to look for more friction. Seeing you like that, so eager to have him inside of you, was all it took for him to sink deep inside your core, filling you with all his length and stretching your walls.

“Fuck! You got so tight, baby.”

You did. While he was away, you didn’t have sex with anybody and you only started thinking about that when you met Seokjin. Not because you really wanted to, but because you felt like it was a necessary step to get what you wanted. Sure, Jin was handsome, but he was no Jungkook. Your husband, your first love, your first everything – he was the only one who could make you wet just by staring at you. He had that power – the power to make your head spin like you had too many drinks.

Jungkook hold your hips in place and started pounding you hard, making you moan at every thrust until you were just a hot wet mess at his mercy.

“Jungkook..” That was all you could say, breathless, while feeling your walls clench around his cock like they were holding to dear life.

He went balls deep inside of you, fucking you for all the times he didn’t in the past three years. It was intoxicating, and you knew you could never get enough of that feeling – of him.

“Jungkook.. cum inside me, please.” You whimpered, pleading him with a mere whisper when you felt his thrusts getting sloppier and more imprecise. Your orgasm was close too, but you wanted to make sure he didn’t pull out. You wanted to feel every drop of him.

“Y/N.. fuck!” Was all he said while he sank deep inside your core, filling you up with his cum and pumping it in to get you closer to your climax.

You came with his name on your lips and the lewd sounds of your sex filling your ears like the sweetest music you’d ever heard. Your hands grabbed the fabric of the couch and you could feel your saliva dripping down the side of your lips, parted by the intense sensation of your orgasm.

He dropped with his chest pressing on your back. You could feel his heavy breath against your skin and his heartbeat trying to get a calmer pace while the high of the climax was slowly fading away.

“We are leaving tonight, baby.” He whispered in your ear after a few moments of silence. “I’m not going back to jail. I’m not gonna let them tear us apart again.”

And again, even after everything that had happened, you believed him.

I guess this is my prison. You are. But I don’t want to escape.

“I love you, Jungkook.”

“I love you too, baby.”

Jungkook’s offer to help you study for your exam is unwelcome. His entire presence is unwelcome. You don’t want help from the guy who passes all his classes without even trying. It’s annoying — he is annoying. From the way he grins whenever he catches you staring at him, to the way his eyes shine whenever he smiles at you. Oh, and let’s not forget the way his tattoos shift when he stretches or the way his jawline sharpens when he’s focused. Nope, you definitely can’t stand him.

A/N: This one's for you @fallinforkoo I hope that you like it!! This is not something I would usually write but the idea popped up when seeing the request so here she is! A little cliché but I hope it's original enough. Let me know what you guys think!

“As your best friend,” Taehyung says sheepishly over the phone, “I really need you to do me a favour.”

You groan, leaning your head over the edge of the bed. “I don’t like where this is going.”

He hums. He doesn’t even laugh. There’s just a brief silence before he asks you the impossible. “I need you to invite Jungkook for the get-together on Friday.”

“Absolutely fucking not,” you spit. “Taehyung, my best friend, the platonic love of my life. I will do anything for you. Literally anything. I would suck your toes if you asked me, but I won’t do that.”

Now he laughs, loud and deep. It only makes you sulk more. Inviting Jeon Jungkook into your humble abode? To have him walk around with that smug—and delectably gorgeous—grin on his face as he finds something to make fun of? Not over your dead body. Not in a million years.

“Please, do it for me.”

You vigorously shake your head. “I don’t see how I would be doing you a favour by inviting him. You don’t even like him!”

“I mean...I really don’t mind him. But I like Jimin, a lot, and I feel bad for excluding his friend all the time, it’s starting to get weird. Can’t you just invite him over? I promise you won’t have to talk to him.”

Oh, but you do. Because Jungkook always manages to weasel under your skin and get you worked up to a point where you just have to say something. It’s not your fault that he’s such an ass. He just rubs you all the wrong ways. “I am in a constant state of wanting to rip his head off. I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

Jungkook is just so...You really cannot stand him. First of all, he doesn’t study. All he does is party and sleep around with random girls. Yet, he still somehow manages to be at the top of the class. Secondly, he’s a dick. He has no respect for both his elders and you. Any chance he gets he will make fun of you or blatantly insult you. And lastly, he looks too good and he knows it. Walking around campus just basking in the attention from all the girls, and guys, who want him despite his reputation.

Taehyung snorts. “If I were you, I would be more worried that you’re in a constant state of wanting to suck his dick.”

“I’d rather snap his dick in half.” Sometimes you wonder why you’re friends with Taehyung. After all, he’s the one who told Jimin to bring along his friend. Now, you’re regularly exposed to Jeon Jungkook’s incessant flirting with anything that breathes, constant whining about just about everything, and complete lack of personal space. Taehyung had been certain that if you got to know Jungkook outside of class, it would make you more amicable towards each other. However, it’s only made it worse.

“You know, sometimes people lie about something so often that they start to feel like it’s the truth.”

You roll your eyes, sitting up on the bed. It’s noon already. You really should be studying for your Psychology of Law exam. Also known as the course from hell. As a law student, you really can’t make sense of the material. All the mumbling about internal thought processes and stressors has your mind logging off. You’re chapters behind. You don’t even know where to start. Because unlike a certain someone, you actually have to study. Even with all-nighters, thorough summaries, and flashcards, you’ve still managed to fail quite a few classes. The future of your law degree literally balances on this one class. If you fail, you lose your scholarship.

“Are you still with me?”  Taehyung asks.

“Yeah, I’m just considering defenestrating myself. Anything better than studying for psych.”

“Even inviting Jungkook?”

“Anything but that.”  It’s not like Taehyung is completely wrong. Jungkook looks like a model when he actually decides to groom himself instead of showing up to class in sweats and uncombed hair. You’re way too aware that he works out five days a week. Or that he’s got tats lining his arm, intricate designs that—No. You’re not falling down this hole today.

Taehyung’s typing something up, probably studying for his own exams. “I will let you study then. Just please, invite him over. I will forever be in your debt. Be the better person.”

The sweet lining to Taehyung’s plea actually manages to work for once. He’s your best friend, after all. He would probably do the same thing for you. It’s just not that fun to be around Jungkook when part of you—as much as you may deny it—feels some type of way about him.

“I will consider it.”

“That’s not a no.”

“Don’t make me change it back to a no, Kim.”

He chuckles. “Someday, you will thank me. That day being the one when you finally come to terms with your feelings.”

“Bye, Taehyung,” you grumble, ending the call and throwing the phone down on the duvet.

So yes, maybe you do have a thing for Jungkook. Doesn’t make him any less annoying. If anything, it makes him even more insufferable. Why did you have to develop a weird crush on a guy you can’t even stand? The world doesn’t have to be cruel like that. But here you are. Not that it matters. Jungkook would sleep with just about any girl but you. Which says more about them.

Reluctantly, you get up and grab your books from your desk. Studying is easier in the living room, away from distractions.

Your peace doesn’t last long. Not even halfway through your first coffee, your doorbell rings.

Groaning, you get up and prepare your best ‘no I don’t want to buy whatever you’re selling’ face. Upon unlocking the door, that face falters.

“What the hell are you doing here?” you spit out the moment you see Jungkook’s big doe eyes. He’s standing on your doorstep like he’s supposed to be here. With his backpack nonchalantly slung over one shoulder.

He looks past you, into your apartment. “Oh, you started studying for psych?”

Your living room is a mess. “Well, I was trying to start, but I’ve been rudely interrupted by someone who has no invitation to be here.”

He rolls his eyes. “I’m here to make sure that you don’t fail another class and have to drop out.” Like he owns the place, he pushes past you and waltzes inside. He drops his backpack and readjusts his baseball cap, showing off his forehead and chocolate brown hair. It’s really starting to get long.

“I don’t need your help.” There’s no way he’s here just to help you study. And even if he was, he’s just going to distract you. You’re not friends. He must have some ulterior motive for being here. Jeon Jungkook doesn’t study, let alone help people study. Not to your knowledge at least. “I can manage just fine on my own.”

He grabs his laptop from his bag. “What part of ‘having to drop out if you fail another class’ did you not understand?” He puts the device down and gets comfortable on your couch. As if he’s done it before.

You cross your arms over your chest. “Who told you about that?”

He shrugs. “Jimin mentioned it, he must have it from Taehyung. Does it really matter?”

“Yes, it matters,” you sneer. “I didn’t ask you to be here. I don’t want you to be here. There’s no way I’m going to get anything done with you around. Get the fuck out.” You point a finger at the door, waiting for him to leave. “Do you not hear me?”

“Oh, I heard you. I’m just waiting for you to get over yourself and realise that you actually need my help.”

“I don’t.”

“Can you tell me the difference between compliance and suggestion in the context of a police hearing?” he questions, leaning back and propping his clunky boot-clad feet onto the table.

You press your lips together in a thin line, thinking about a possible answer.

He grins. “Any idea what the Reid Technique is and why it is or isn’t ethical?”

“No,” you grumble.

“You know what the pros and cons are of an Oslo style eyewitness lineup?”

You shake your head, dropping your arms in defeat. He’s got you. You don’t know anything. Maybe you do need his help. As long as he tries to be nice, you can give him the benefit of the doubt. Another year of your degree is definitely worth it.

Jungkook pats the spot on the couch beside him. “Let’s get started, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover if we want to get you a good grade.”

And so you get to work. Jungkook makes himself a little too comfortable in your home. Aside from pulling out his flashcards, multiple summaries and annotated materials, he actually slips into the kitchen to make tea. He raids your pantry for snacks and pulls out your blanket from under the table.

“What?” He says, mouth stuffed with gummy bears while he unfolds the blanket. “I’m sorry, but your apartment is really fucking cold. Since you’re dressed as if you’re going to the North Pole, I assumed the radiator must be broken.”

“It has been almost a week now. My landlord is being an ass about it. Also, I’m wearing normal clothes that normal people wear when it’s cold outside. Unlike you, with your short-sleeves and thin coat.”

“It’s October.”

“It’s nine degrees outside. You’re insane.”

“No,” he says, sitting back down with the blanket around his shoulders. “I’m just hot.”

A reluctant smile pulls at your lips. Why must you betray yourself?

He leans in close, inspecting your face. “I can’t believe I lived to see the day. You actually smiled at one of my jokes.”

If he’s good at one thing, it’s definitely proving that he’s an annoying shit. “I’m laughing at how pathetic you are.”

“At least I’m not the one who tried to hide her smile.”

“And I’m not the one who forced his way into this apartment. I’d watch out, some people might start to think you actually like being around me.” You turn back towards his laptop, scrolling through the document to the next topic. Police hearings.

Jungkook puts his hand down behind you so he can get closer—too close—and look over your shoulder. “Maybe,” he whispers, “I do like spending time with you.”

You whip your head around so fast you nearly knock heads with him. He doesn’t move. Both your noses basically touching. At this proximity you can see all the fine details in his skin. The flecks of lighter brown in his eyes that really do shine. The moles on his nose, the scar on his cheek.

“Nah.” He pulls away. “I’m just messing with you. I still don’t like you.”

What on earth did you do to make him come over here? If he dislikes you so much, he shouldn’t have bothered. You’re not a charity case. “If you’d just let me fail, you wouldn’t have to put up with me again.”

He tuts. “Where’s the fun in that? I’d honestly miss your bad comebacks and petty remarks.”

“Excuse me, my comebacks are not bad?”

“They’re mediocre at best, ma’am,” he laughs, grin showing the fullness of his cheeks that make him look deceptively cute.

You shiver at the thought. He’s a lot of things, but he’s not cute. Yes, he’s probably a good guy deep down, but he’s not cute. Jeon Jungkook is and always will be an annoying, self-entitled, arrogant brat. Nothing is going to change your mind. Not even the way your heart beats faster from just having him so close.

“Don’t ‘ma’am’ me,” you bite.

“I’m not even going to give you any points for that. You didn’t even try!” He makes an exasperated gesture as he grabs another handful of gummies.

‘Childish’ should be added to the list. “Are you here to help me study or not?”

Jungkook nods, sitting cross-legged. “Just so I get to bother you for another year.”

The two of you get back to work. He takes you through a very detailed and too dramatic explanation of the Reid technique. You find yourself captivated by how passionate he seems. He sure does know a lot about the subject.

Jungkook turns out to be a very active talker. He makes very detailed descriptions and uses his hands to explain things. It’s easy to understand him, but it’s way harder to memorise it. As the material gets more complicated, he gets more serious and you start to lose track. His frown deepens, dimple-like creases appearing in his cheek that make him look sharper and older. You can’t help but stare.

He’s so handsome. The tattoos that circle around his left arm shift as he speaks. The same way that his earrings dangle as he moves. You get caught up in him, the way he talks, the passion that rolls off him in waves.

“Are you gawking at me?”  He says, stopping his movements mid-air.

Cheeks flushed, you try to come up with a smart reply. “I was thinking whether your head has always looked this big.”

His lips pull into a straight line. “I’m here trying to do my best to explain to you what the difference is between an Oslo confrontation and a sequential lineup, and you’re worried about the size of my fucking head?”

“I mean, it’s awfully big, no?”  You poke his forehead.

He grabs your wrist in return, pulling your body towards him. “Can you at least try to appreciate my effort?”

“I’m listening!”

Wetting his lips, he arches an eyebrow. “Explain the difference to me.”

Well, you weren’t listening that intently. “Uh, a sequential lineup has a lower chance of causing false positives.”

“That’s the last sentence I said, you can do better.” He lets go of you so you can lean back. For a second, he actually seems pissed off. Maybe you should try, he’s doing his best after all. It’s just hard when he’s here looking this good.

“Oslo confrontations feature the suspects in a lineup at the same time, whereas a sequential lineup shows them one by one.” That’s all you got.

“Well,” he says, throwing you a gummy from the bag. “You got one point out of five.”

Treat halfway to your mouth, you stop. “One?!”

He nods. “And I’m being generous with you. First of all, you cannot call them suspects, they’re candidates or possible suspects. There’s usually only one suspect and the rest are actors who look like the suspect. You also missed the part where, during the sequential lineup, the witness doesn’t get to see all the suspects. Once they pick the one they think is the perpetrator, they will not get to see the additional candidates.”  Why does this sound so hot when he says it?

God, you’re going insane. “Well, I’ll try to remember that and the seven-hundred other things you said. All the blabbering you do makes it really hard.”  It comes out harsher than you intended. From the way Jungkook stays silent, you know it must’ve hit home.

He gets up, making your heart sink. “I think it’s time for a break. You’re getting frustrated. Do you want to order pizza?”

“I don’t recall asking you to stay over for dinner.”

Jungkook takes a long, deep breath, closing his eyes. You can feel the anger build up. “Listen, I’m here to help you. The least you can do is fucking appreciate it. Be stubborn all you want, but you need this. You want a shot at this degree. I’m here, because as much as I can’t stand you, I won’t enjoy watching you get kicked off the entire program because you’re struggling with the material.”  There’s a heavy pause. You let his words sink in. The level of concern is surprising. It’s sweet. “So do you want to order pizza or not? Because I’m starving.”

You nod. “Pizza sounds good.”

The tension ebs away after that. Jungkook goes into the kitchen and comes back with a mug filled with milk, of all things. You bite your tongue.

“I want pineapple on my pizza,” he says.

Pausing, you raise your eyebrows. “You cannot be serious.”

“Depends. How much do you hate pineapple?” His shit eating grin returned like it was never gone. It gives him away.

Narrowing your eyes at him, you speak; “So, double pineapple for you?”

Suddenly, his face falters. “Whoa, you can’t actually do that to me.”

“You’re the one who said he likes pineapple!”

“It was a joke. No person in their right mind would put fruit on their pizza.”  He sits next to you, taking another sip of his milk. “I’m really not picky though, but the one with the jalapenos is good. Or the chili chicken.”  Jungkook scoots closer so he can scroll through the menu on your phone, hand brushing against yours.

This way, you get a clear view of the rose tattoo on his hand. It’s beautiful, detailed but still in a traditional style. It suits him, as do his other tattoos. Though this one has always stood out to you.

“I’m just going to get pepperoni,” you say after a while.

Jungkook sighs, then turns his head to whisper in your ear; “Boring.”

Startled, you shove him so hard he falls onto his back. “Don’t be such a child. I’m not going to make you eat it.”

When he sits back up, his shirt rises and reveals the edge of a narrow, toned waist. You look away, focusing on actually ordering the pizza. Jungkook really doesn’t have to be so casually attractive. He’s not even trying and you can’t keep your eyes off him, noticing something new every minute. A good reason to not spend any more time with him after this.

“Gimme.” He plucks your phone out of your hands so he can order his own pizza. With the utmost concentration, he scrolls and types in some things. No doubt using your pre-set credit card to pay for it. “Wait,” he says, sitting up straight. “Whoa, you’re friends with Yoongi? As in Min Yoongi? The guy who won this year’s mock court?”

Gasping, you dart over to grab the phone from him. “Don’t go through my messages!” With one hand on your chest, he manages to keep the device out of your reach. “Jungkook!”

His eyes move over the screen, reading your messages with the third year law student. “Why didn’t you just ask him for help, huh? He seems to like you, and that’s something. I don’t think Yoongi likes anybody.”

You try harder to grab your phone from his hands. It must look insane, your body bent over his, him trying to find ways to hold you off and keep the phone out of your reach. Somehow, you end up squashed between his—way too strong—thighs.

“Jungkook give me my phone back!” you whine.

Something on the screen makes him raise his eyebrows. “Are you two like—you know? Cuz I’ve heard some stuff and—”  

You shake your head, getting uneasy with the fact that he’s really reading your personal messages. “I don’t like Yoongi like that.”

Jungkook lifts his leg, using his knee to push you back. He’s got way too much strength in his body. “Okay, but I’m not sure that he knows that. He’s not a nice guy, you should steer clear of him.”

“Oh, and you would know how? It’s not like you’re such a gentleman.” Again, you try to jump for your phone, but he stops you in time by grabbing your wrist.

Face serious, he holds your gaze. “I’m not kidding. We run in the same circles. He’s a total asshole, you don’t want to get involved with him. You can do better.”

That sure is a way to silence you. You frown, settling back into your seat as Jungkook keeps scrolling through the chat. “I’m not into him, but he’s been texting me for a while. I was in his group for mock court.” Finally, you get your phone back, but your stomach feels uneasy looking at it. Perhaps Yoongi’s messages are a bit forward.

“I don’t know Yoongi well enough to be able to say for sure, but I know enough to tell you that he doesn’t talk to girls like you because he wants to be friends,” Jungkook says with a hand lingering on your thigh.

Way to make you feel good about yourself, Jeon. “What does that mean, girls like me?”

His face changes, eyes wide.

“What are you trying to say?” you press.

Pinching the bridge of his nose, he leans forward onto his knees. “All I’m saying is that you don’t deserve to get played by some asshole who’s just trying to get into your pants.”

“Oh.” Is he being for real? He’s looking out for you? This is not how this is supposed to go. Jungkook shouldn’t be nice to you. He shouldn’t be helping you, or care about your wellbeing. He’s a dick and the two of you squabble and yell at each other. Yet, your chest warms at his words. Even if you weren’t looking to get together with Yoongi, it’s good to know he might have alternative motives. “Thank you.”

All he does is nod, before he grabs his laptop to resume where you guys left off. The awkwardness slowly dissipates as he takes you through the entire lineup thing again, just so you’ve got it down. After that you move onto the remaining subjects.

Today sure is strange. You never expected things to be so comfortable with Jungkook. Despite his exasperating personality and your on and off bickering, his presence is pleasant. It doesn’t take long for you to sink into the couch, drinking your third large cup of coffee.

Completely focussed on his monologue, you ask questions very sparingly, enraptured by him. You knew he was smart, he passes his classes with grades of 80% or higher for a reason. However, it’s different to see it in action.

Pizza arrives a little late, much to Jungkook’s dismay. Turns out he’s quite cranky when he gets hungry. He devours his pizza way faster than you can get through half of yours, and he’s quick to inch towards a slice from your box. You smack his hand away, reminding him of how he slandered you for your topping choice. He can have your leftovers from yesterday

“You call this pasta?” he questions in a disgusted tone, crouched down by the fridge

“Take it or starve. Your choice.”

He gets up, nose scrunched. “I’d rather starve, thanks. What exactly do you excel at? Since it’s not school, wit, or cooking.”

“Aim,” you spit, flicking a piece of pepperoni at him. It hits him straight in the cheek and you burst out into a fit of laughter. He stares at you in utter disbelief, removing the greasy piece of meat from his face. Tongue pressed to his cheek, he fights off his own smile—or an insult.

Eventually, he sits back down and goes over the remaining material while you eat. The end comes faster than you expected, his eyes darting to the clock.

“It’s getting late, I should probably go home.”

“What?” You pout. “How can you leave me to my own devices like this?!”

“Because I did what I could. I took you through all the material, now it’s up to you to try and memorise it. I’ve sent you my summaries and I’ll leave my flashcards here.” He grabs his things, meticulously stuffing them back into his backpack. With a heavy heart, you hand him his cap that had fallen to the floor.

Jungkook pushes his hair back, putting his cap on. He looks as nonchalant as he did when he came in. Backpack slung over one shoulder, hand shoved into his pocket. “Good luck. I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”

“Yeah, I guess,” you mumble. “Thanks.”

“I’m glad my presence was enjoyed.”

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, I only endured you because I want to pass.” Part of that is true. Though, he wasn’t as bad to hang out with as you had originally assumed. Maybe it’s because his friends aren’t around to show off to. Or because he genuinely wanted to help. Which is still weird. “Good luck to you too.”

He waves you goodbye, opening up the door, only to be met with a gust of wind. The sound of rain enters your apartment. Water plummets from the sky by the bucket.

“Shit,” Jungkook peers outside, hesitating in the doorway. “If I don’t show up tomorrow morning, please assume that I have drowned.”

You would’ve laughed at the idea of him getting soaking wet any other day. He came here to help you study and now he has to walk home through the rain. No doubt he’s going to catch a cold dressed the way he is. Maybe you should listen to Taehyung and be the better person for once.

Getting up, you pull him back inside by the string of his backpack. “You can’t go out when it’s like that, you’ll get sick.”

He turns with a smile. “As much as I would like to see you squirm a little longer, I need to study too.”

“You study?”

“How else do you think I get good grades? Eat books for breakfast?”

You shrug. “We can study together tonight?”

Stepping closer, Jungkook forces you back inside. Almost nose to nose. Your heart skips a beat when his breath fans over your face. “Is this just a lame excuse from you to spend more time with me?”

“No. But I can only imagine the tragedy that will befall me if you catch a cold because you were out here helping me study.” You poke a finger into his chest. A grave mistake, it’s way firmer than you’d thought. “If I let you stay over, you no longer owe me one.”

“I’m sorry, but it really sounds like you just want me to stay.” Jungkook inches closer, backing you against the couch.

You open your mouth to say something when your phone rings. Looking over to where it lies on the couch, you see Taehyung’s name displayed. He can wait. You glance back up at Jungkook, who’s nearly chest to chest with you, and also has his eyes locked on the phone.

Then, he grins.

You act fast, snatching the phone from the couch and declining the call before he even gets a chance to touch it. Taehyung really doesn’t need to know that Jungkook is here.

Jungkook himself, however, picks up on this. He chuckles lightly, arching his eyebrow. “Are you trying to hide the fact that I’m here?’”

“I wouldn’t say I was trying to hide it, but I really don’t need my friends to think I’m hanging out with you.”

Jungkook drops his bag in the chair again, curious glint in his eyes. “And why is that?”

“Because,” you start, crossing your arms over your chest. “I don’t want to be associated with the likes of you.”

“What am I now? A villain?”

“No, you’re a stuck up fuckboy who does nothing but party and sleep with random girls and yet somehow still manages to pass all his classes. You’re annoying, egotistical, insufferable, pushy, invasive and disrespectful.”  You let out a deep breath. Yeah, maybe Jungkook’s been nice to you today, but he hasn’t changed.

He rolls his eyes. “Well then. I’ll have you know that you are nothing more than an average, boring girl struggling to get by. You’re opinionated, crass, entitled, standoffish, a bad listener, impossibly stubborn and a bit of an airhead.”  The words leave him as if they mean nothing. “It’s not like I’d want to be associated with the likes of you either. But here I am, stranded because of the storm. So you, my dear, are stuck with me tonight. You did offer for me to stay over, after all.”

“Whatever,” you breathe, “let’s just try to study.”

The two of you return to your previous position on the couch, but now, he faces you. With the flashcards in hand, Jungkook reaches into his bag and pulls out a container filled with Maltesers.

The rules are simple. You take turns asking each other questions. If you get it right, you get a chocolate, you get it wrong the person who asked the question gets a chocolate. Easy enough, right? Now that you feel a bit more steady with the material, you should be able to answer some questions correctly. Even if it’s just to rob Jungkook of the satisfaction of eating the entire thing on his own.

Two questions in and the bickering starts. Jungkook’s whining because he’s cold and you can’t turn up the radiator. But since he was the one to leave the door open, it’s his fault that it’s so cold in here to begin with. You’ve long hogged the blanket for yourself and you don’t intend on sharing it. It’s the only barrier that’s keeping you from touching his feet.

“Please,” he pouts. “I’m so cold, you can’t let me freeze to death in this fucking igloo.”

You pull the blanket closer. “No. It’s mine.”

He whines. “Come on, it’s big enough for both of us. It’ll be warmer if we share.”

“No.”

“You do realise I could just take it from you by force.”

“You would not.”

He sits up straighter, putting a hand on the edge of the fabric. “I’m giving you the option now. Either you share, or I’m pulling it from your cold, grabby hands. If you’re just afraid to snuggle with me, you can just say so.”

In order to not admit defeat, you give up half of the blanket so he can shove his legs under it. He extends his legs way past his side of the couch, his feet touching your lower back. You have no choice but to fold one of your legs over his, the other extended by his side. Indeed, it’s warmer this way.

“Now, where were we?” He flips to his next card. “Ah, yes. Weapon focus effect.”

That one you remember clearly. “It’s when a witness’ attention was so focused on the weapon present at the incident that they fail to remember any significant details about the perpetrator. It’s an involuntary process that often leads to inaccurate descriptions of the attackers.” You definitely got that one, no doubt. It’s easy.

Jungkook throws you a chocolate. “Good job, you’re doing well. It seems you listened to what I had to say after all.”

“I mean,” you say, popping the chocolate into your mouth. “I didn’t have that much of a choice but to listen, now did I?”

“You were visually undressing me the entire time. I had assumed your mind was busy with...other things.” He’s doing it on purpose, trying to get some type of reaction from you. Instead, you just bite your lip, not knowing what to say. “Oh, was I right? Tell me, what were you thinking about.”

You let out a sound, throwing a pillow at him. “I wasn’t thinking anything. And I wasn’t undressing you.”

“No, you were thinking of how big my head was, right? Would it,” he pauses, lifting up the blanket to peer underneath, “fit between your thighs?”

“What is wrong with you!” You scream, hands covering your face that quickly turns red.

He laughs in return. “You’re so easily flustered. I’d almost call it cute.”

Peering through your fingers, you frown. “Almost?”

“Yeah, almost. Not quite, because you’re still you.”

In a surge of confidence, you sit up straight and grab the stack of cards again. Not looking at him as you speak. “How about, instead of imagining what I taste like, you tell me what a flashbulb memory is.”

Inches away from choking on his spit, Jungkook doesn’t manage to come up with a smart retort. He just answers your questions with pursed lips and distant eyes. It’s correct though, so you get to throw him a chocolate. Which of course, he catches with his mouth. Show off.

It goes on for another while, storm raging outside. With the winds turned, you can now clearly hear the pattering against your window. You can’t imagine what Jungkook would’ve done had he been walking through this storm. It’s only getting worse.

Time ticks by fast. Soon, Jungkook is left with one last flashcard in his hands. And you are determined to get that last chocolate. He smirks to himself, probably aware that you don’t know the answer to this. But if anything, you are determined to prove him wrong.

“Tell me,” he trails, “what is the difference between compliance and suggestibility?”

You know this. He’s explained it three times. So you’re confident in your next words. “Compliance is when a witness giving a testimony willingly accepts a suggestion but is aware that the suggestion is wrong. Suggestibility is when they believe that the suggestion is right and thus take it for the truth. Both are problematic, but suggestibility is harder to expose.”

Jungkook tuts. “You got them switched around.”

“Huh?! That can’t be right!”

“Sure is, the last chocolate is mine.”

You snatch the bag away before he can grab it. “I don’t think so. Let me see that card.”

“Are you accusing me of lying?”

“For chocolate? I sure am. Let me see.”  You crawl over to his side, squishing yourself between him and the couch. “Jungkook,” you whine when he covers the card with his hand, “let me see. My grade depends on this.”

He chuckles at you. “It does not. I’m confident that you will pass regardless.”

You try to pry the card out of his hand, but it’s no use. The grip he has on the thing is too strong. He manages to hold you down without even breaking a sweat. It’s a few beats before you can realise that you’re now entirely pressed up against him. You can feel the muscles in his thighs shift, the soft skin of his arm against yours

“Let me have the chocolate and I will show you,” he whispers.

Flushed, you stop struggling. “Whatever, I know I’m right.”

Jungkook then reveals the card to you, showing you that you indeed, were right. “I’m glad you’re finally confident in your abilities. That’s the key to passing a test.”

Has he really been testing you this entire time? That’s sure one way to do the trick. Without replying, you sink into his side. Silently enjoying his warmth. It’s comfortable to sit like this, now that it’s night and the apartment continues to get colder. You don’t mind, really. Inhaling slightly, you catch a whiff of his fresh floral scent. It’s mixed with a sharp edge that suits him well.

As Jungkook grabs the stack of cards you got wrong to revise them, you don’t move. The two of you just get comfortable like that. It’s easier to see the cards the way anyhow. You can just look at them together. Plus, you’re starting to feel a little sleepy and don’t want to move. He seems equally as content, just reciting the questions and explaining why you got them wrong.

“Okay so,” you say, pointing at something on the card. “It’s not so much an issue on the witness’ side as it is on the police’s?”

Jungkook nods, looking at you. “They’re the ones leading the witness. It’s not the witness’ fault that they take on their opinion.”

You hum, meeting his gaze. He doesn’t falter, almost as if he’s searching your eyes. “Something wrong?”you ask, voice hushed, goosebumps appearing on the back of your neck. There’s a mole right below his bottom lip which is plump and looks soft. His top lip is more defined, making for a cute pout. The more you look, the more you notice all his moles. On his nostril, his cheek, his ear.

“No,” he answers eventually. Voice strained. “I think you have a pimple growing between your brows.”

“Get lost!” You shove your elbow into his side, pulling a pained groan from him. “You’re so stupid.”

For a moment he’s quiet, just rubbing his side and shifting so he can get more comfortable. One of his legs falls off the couch, the other still between yours. “You really hate me, huh?”

At any other given moment, you would’ve replied with yes. But now, it’s laden. Is he asking you that seriously? It’s one thing to tell Taehyung you can’t stand him, or to yell it in his face when he’s being a brat, but you can’t literally say it to him like this. Why, you don’t really know. The expectant look makes your stomach tighten.

“Why are you saying it like that?”

He shrugs. “No reason in particular. Just because,” he gestures at your bodies, “it doesn’t seem like you mind being around me that much. If anything I’d say that,” he stops, leaning in close to your ear. You can feel the barely-there graze of his lips. “You like being around me.”

You bite your tongue, looking up to find his eyes darker than before. Cocking his head to the side, he awaits your answer. You’re not willing to give him the satisfaction. There’s no need to stroke his already big ego any more. Yes, this is more pleasant than you’d expected. Yes, he’s nice to be around. But... “You’re still a pain in the ass. Sorry.” With that, you had expected him to look away, but he doesn’t. His eyes flicker down to your lips, and back up to your eyes.

“So are you,” he teases, lips stretching into a lopsided grin.

Within a heartbeat, your lips are touching. Jungkook groans. You gasp, pulling him closer. Closed eyes, your heart beats a million miles an hour, revelling in the feeling of his mouth against yours. How soft his lips are. The trailing of his fingertips up your neck so he can crane your head back.

He comes to life, parting with a brief look into your eyes and a deep breath. Then, diving in full force. Jungkook kisses you like he’s been waiting to—like he’s hungry for it. You can barely believe that it’s happening, still trying to register that he’s actually kissing you. That it feels this good.

Your entire body kicks into gear when he bites at your bottom lip. Shifting your body to face his, you wrap a hand around the back of his neck. Returning his fervor, your mouths part and tongues meet in a desperate clash. Jungkook lets out a deep, guttural sound that makes you shiver. He’s skilled, tongue swiping over yours in a way that you can barely keep up with. Deliciously hot, just edging on sloppy. There’s no room for pauses, no time for thoughts.

Gaining purchase against the armrest, you swing a leg over his to sit in his lap. Jungkook’s leaning back still, pawing at your waist now that he’s got full access. You take full advantage of the position, crashing into him and devouring him. Biting at his lips, sucking his tongue into your mouth. The feeling is nearly euphoric paired with the rough, firm touches of his hands all over your body.

He touches anything he can find. Gripping onto your thighs and ass, slipping under your tank top and sweater to graze the skin on your back. Sparks erupt everywhere.

Mid-kiss, he sits up. Twisting so he can firmly plant both his feet on the found. It’s the angle he needs to pull you right against him. Your hips make contact and you moan. He’s not quite hard but he’s certainly getting there and the thought makes your head spin.

“Fuck,” you gasp, breaking away for air while he grids his hips up into yours. “Jungkook—”

“No talking,” he mouths against your jawline. “More kissing,” his voice is so  raspy that it’s barely recognisable. Almost a growl.

You push his cap off. Grabbing his face with both hands and kissing him firmly. Angling his head back the same way he had done to you. Kissing him is way better than you could’ve ever imagined. He’s rougher, stronger, harder against your body. You need more.

Slipping your hands under his shoulder, you lift it. Tracing the hard lines of his chest, feeling how he jumps under your touch. It empowers you, makes you bolder. Your fingers reach a pert nipple, brushing over it only to hear him moan in the back of his throat. God, he keeps on getting better and better. Sensitive it seems, as you roll the bud between your fingers. His hips buck up into yours. Fully hard at this point, he must start to get uncomfortable in those jeans.

Jungkook’s resolve with kissing you slows, needing air. He breaks away with a smirk, cheeks flushed and panting. Holding your gaze steady, he pulls his shirt over his head in one smooth motion. Revealing planes of unmarred skin and tattoos you had yet to discover.

You take no shame in staring, reaching out to trace the dream catcher on his shoulder. Moving along the lines of thread and feathers that reach his elbow.

“Like what you see?” he whispers, pushing you closer with a hand on your lower back just so he can kiss your neck. You shiver, legs spreading. Leaning your head back to give him enough room to mark you up. The thought alone makes you whimper. “What’s that?” he mumbles, licking a hot stripe up your throat.

Fingers digging into his shoulders, you grind down onto him. He moans in response. “Stop being so smug.”

Jungkook throws his head back, looking at you through his lashes as you gyrate your hips more firmly. His body on full display. “I don’t know, it seems like you’re into it.”

“For fucks sake, shut up and kiss me.”

He listens, capturing your mouth with his. Everything moves fast after that. Between tongues and mouths clashing, Jungkook rids you of your sweater. He kisses down your neck and throat, leaving marks and enjoying the way that you quiver for him. You’re soaking through your leggings at this point. Jungkook’s doing no better.

When he pulls away, you take the opportunity to kiss down his neck, collarbones and chest. To get off his lap and kneel between his legs. His eyes widen as you do so. A hand immediately comes up to push your hair aside, tipping your chin upwards. When he traces his thumb over your mouth, you part your lips and swirl your tongue around the digit and bite down, making him hiss.

Spreading his legs to accomodate you, he relaxes against the cushions. Just like little pricks on the edge of your consciousness, you feel the nerves. You question your skills when you undo his jeans and pull them down his legs. Yet, the hazy look in his eyes tells you that he’s going to like this no matter what. He all but arches into you when you palm him through his underwear. Rock hard and leaking through the fabric, you don’t want to wait any longer to finally get your mouth on him. To hear him moan for you.

So you reach past his waistband, foregoing any teasing and pull the fabric down. His cock slaps up against his stomach, making him hiss again. The sight is gorgeous. Jungkook with his head thrown back, hair a mess, chest heaving and flushed even though you’ve barely touched him. It’s satisfying to know you did that to him.

You sit down on your knees, holding him in one hand and go slow. Mouthing at him first, giving him just a taste of what’s to come. He doesn’t hold back for you, reddened lips parting with all the noises he lets out. When you take the tip into your mouth, he jolts—groans and reaches to anchor himself on your shoulder. You have one hand on his thigh, the other around the base. That way, you steady yourself when you sink down on him.

“Don’t—Fuck, keep going.” A gentle hand winds into your hair, guiding you further onto his cock. You’re not usually one to do this but, seeing him feel this good spurs you on. It makes you want to take all of him. You don’t stop when he hits the back of your throat, gag reflex kicking in. He moans at the feeling, so you try to swallow. “Shit, fuck, don’t do that. Your mouth,” he pants, “so good.”

Feeling his grip loosen, you pull up, taking a deep breath when you let him out of your mouth. Spit dribbles from your mouth to the head, tears sting at the corners of your eyes. You look up, giving him the full vision, and you don’t look away when you sink down again.

You’re so wet. Core aching but unable to find any sort of relief. You end up trying to grind your hips without any payoff. Meanwhile, you start a steady rhythm. Hollowing out your cheeks and using your tongue on the underside. It works. You have him moaning out your name in seconds. His hand tightens in your hair again, not to force you, but spurring you on to take him a little deeper each time. Right until your nose hits his stomach. You hold there, to let him feel the flex of your throat one more time. Just so he remembers it. Then you take your rhythm back up, a little faster, a little tighter. Your jaw starts to hurt, but it’s worth it. To feel his thighs start to tremble and his stomach clench. How he tightens his hold on your hair, moans pitching every time you pass your tongue right under the head.

Your lungs are burning, but you can’t help but feel addicted to him. Sucking him harder and feeling him near that edge. You dig your nails into his thigh, breathing in through your nose. Jungkook’s hip start moving just a little, enough to startle you.

“‘M close,” he moans. “Fuck, can I—in your mouth. Shit.” He runs a hand through his hair, browns furrowed deep. When he opens his eyes you shiver. His lids are heavy, pupils blown and cheeks red. Just like his lips—he sinks his teeth into his bottom one when you resume.

He takes it as a yes, unable to stop his hips from pushing up. You let him take control, holding yourself still, hands on his thighs. Jungkook’s breathing picks up, moans mixing into one drawn out sound. You meet his eyes, mouth stuffed with his cock. That’s all he needed. He twitches and cums into your mouth. The taste is bitter and harsh on your tongue. You close your eyes, focused on the feeling of his body trembling. You’re the one who did that to him.

When he lets you go and you pull off him, he gives you a fuck-out yet expectant look. A cocky arch of his eyebrow when he sees your bulged cheeks. Waiting for you to swallow.

Instead, you reach for his mug that sits on the edge of the table and spit into it. Flinching at the leftover taste.

Jungkook nudges you with his knee. “Why are you like this?”

You set his cup down and reach for your own, take a big gulp of now-cold coffee. “I’m not swallowing your jizz.” The thought of doing that alone makes you want to puke.

“Don’t call it that.”

Rolling your eyes, you stand up on wobbly legs. “I just had it in my mouth, so I can call it whatever I want.”

Jungkook mimics your eyeroll. “Fine.” He pats your thigh. “Pants off.”

“What?”

He lies down on the couch. Surely he doesn’t expect you to ride him after you just fucked up your throat for him? What an ass. “You heard me, naked now. Chop chop.” He motions for you to hurry up and you just give him a blank stare. “Ugh, come here.”  Jungkook sits up just slightly again and pulls you closer by your waistband. He gives you a brief look. “Unless you don’t wanna get naked?”

You chuckle, pushing at his hands to get him to slide your leggings off. A hand slips between your thighs to touch you. Rubbing you through the fabric, your knees nearly buckle. He’s nonchalant about it, lying back, eyes focused between your legs. Yet, he’s too accurate, easily finding his target.

“Jungkook,” you whine, grabbing onto the back of the couch.

He smirks. “Let’s take these off too.” The snap of your panties to your hip pulls you back. You shove them down, taken aback by the feeling of a hand grabbing your thigh. You’re about to question him, when he scoots further back on the couch and lifts your leg past his body. “Have a seat.”

Mind absolutely blank, you let him guide you to sit over his face. You’re dripping and he can see it—feel it probably from the way you just grazed his chest. A small moan leaving your lips when he reaches up to kiss your stomach.

“Don’t be shy,” he chuckles. “I’ve got you.”

You shift forward, holding onto the back of the couch. His hands come up to your thighs, pulling you even higher so he can slot his mouth onto your core. You can’t help but moan.

Noisy. Jungkook is so noisy. He sucks your lips into his mouth, teethes at them until you’re shaking. You struggle to hold your hips still, the need to grind into him too strong. And he does nothing to stop you. No, he urges you on. Looking up at you with those big eyes and nodding against you. Jungkook opens his mouth, tongue darting out to tease at your clit just briefly. Then, the reigns are all yours.

He holds you by the hips so you can hesitantly start moving. You shiver. It feels so good; the wet warmth of his mouth against your core. He follows you, hands pawing at your thighs, hips, and ass. With eyes closed, Jungkook eats you out like he’s been dying to do it. There’s no teasing, no playing—he’s straight to the point. You move over his tongue as he sucks on your cunt, nibbling and flicking whenever he gets the chance. Anything else is irrelevant. The sight of his head blissed out between your thighs is all you can focus on.

The pleasure spikes, shooting up your spine and filling you with warmth. It’s embarrassing how fast he gets you on the edge. How good he is. The way he occasionally stops you to take that bundle of nerves between his lips and suck on it until you’re screaming—it’s mind blowing. Your entire body is on fire, sweat drips down your back. His name falls from your lips in cries that echo throughout the room. Louder than the storm raging against the window.

“Jungkook, I’m—” you pant, unable to finish your sentence with the moans that he pulls from you. Incapable of thinking from the second he swirls his tongue around your entrance and presses inside. You halt all your movements. Nails dug deeply into the couch, you reach for his hair with your other hand. He moans when you grip it tightly, his own fingers tightening around your hips. “Don’t stop.”

He alternates between fucking his tongue into you and sucking on your clit. The intensity is almost too much. The irregularity keeps you on your toes and has you nearly teetering over the edge. You just need to—Jungkook reaches behind you and plunges two fingers into your sopping core. The sensation of being filled along with his tongue flicking over you has your eyes rolling back. Everything goes white.

You double over on the couch, unable to keep yourself up and smothering him in the process. Trembling in his hold, he helps you slowly ride out your high. Short, gentle movements against his mouth. The rocking of your hips is as involuntary as the way your body keeps shaking when he lets you go. Breath high in your throat, you chuckle.

“Good god.” You fall down when he slips out from underneath you.

As you twist towards him, Jungkook wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, crawling over you. All your limbs still feel like jelly, your mind swimming. “Yeah, that good?”

You hum, eyes closing. Wanting to lie down, you turn on your back, hearing a sharp thud.

“Shit,” Jungkook gasps. He’s grasping his chin with a laugh.

A few seconds pass before you feel the soreness in your knee. “Ugh, I’m so sorry,” you whine, reaching up to touch him. But he has other plans. Jungkook surges down smiling, pressing your mouths together for the first time in what feels like hours. The stickiness on his face doesn’t go unnoticed. The reminder that he just ate you out, that he’s the one who made you cum that hard. You moan when you taste yourself on his tongue.

He kisses you deeply, smiling against your mouth. You finally get rid of your tank top, now fully naked. He mouths over your chest, twisting your nipples, spreading your legs so that he can fit between them. Pressing himself against you, hard and waiting. “Can you go again?” he asks, pulling away and searching your eyes.

You still feel floaty, but the sensation of his hard cock pressing against your thigh has you quivering. “Yeah.”  You’re aching to feel him inside, so you tilt your hips up towards him. Spreading your legs wider and inviting him.

“Wait,” you blurt, eyes flying open and pressing a hand against his chest. He stops with his hand around his dick, just about ready to slide home. “Condom.”

Jungkook curses, looking around the room. He locates his jeans that lie in a pile with his shirt and boxers. The fact that he’s actually got a condom in there is uncanny.

“You’ve got to be kidding me?”  You joke.

He shrugs. “I wore these jeans while going out last night.”

“You’re disgusting!” You slap his arm lightly, but he just chuckles in return. He knows just as well as you do that you’re waiting for him to fuck you. The clenching of your core attests to that.

No time is wasted, Jungkook puts the condom on and lines himself up. “You good?”  

You nod. “Just go slow.”

The slight oversensitivity just makes it feel even better. He stretches you out so perfectly. You feel every inch, every stutter of his hips as he goes deeper. Way deeper than you’d expected. Until his hips meet yours and he curses, burying his face into your neck.

“You feel good,” he mumbles, kissing your skin.

“You too.” Trailing your fingers up his back, you wait for your body to adjust to him. To feel yourself relax and pull for more. That tell-tale need for movement, friction. Jungkook holds steady, hips barely moving. “Go,” you say when your stomach clenches. “Move. Fuck me like you mean it.”

Jungkook growls, grasping onto the couch. Pulling out and slamming back in full force. You slide up the cushions, so fast you grasp onto him for support. Fingernails digging into his back, legs wrapping around his waist, you keen at the pleasure. Each thrust is better than the last. Harder, more precise.

Your back arches off the couch, mouth agape. Pleasure is constant, like your body is vibrating with it. Jungkook mouths at your neck, sucking, biting—teeth playfully tugging at your ear just to whisper something dirty that you can barely comprehend. Your mind can’t make sense of anything but his dick pumping inside of you. His hips slapping against yours and his mouth against your skin.

Until he kisses you. His mouth messily connecting with yours, movements slowing. With a hand on your ass, he hikes you up the couch, angling your body so that he can press your legs to your chest. Just like that, he picks up. Starting off slow, still kissing you, tongue laving over yours almost sweetly. You shiver, the slow drag of his cock as delicious as the harsh assault. He changes angles, just a hair, but it’s enough for him to graze that part inside of you that makes you see stars.

Throwing your head back, you moan. Fingers sliding through the sweat on his back, up to tangle into his hair, gripping tight. He groans. Head falling onto your shoulder, hips stuttering against yours.

“You like that?” you whisper into his ear, tongue darting out to flick at a pierced lobe.

He nods, teeth sinking into your shoulder as you pull hard. Hips picking up, chasing the pleasure.

Hearing him moan like that. So unabashed and loud, only adds to your pleasure. Toes curling, you close your eyes and let your head fall back. Hips meeting him thrust for thrust, helping him reach even deeper inside of you. To hit that spot every single time. Jungkook has perfected that balance between smooth and hard. Never slamming rough enough to jolt you, yet firm enough to make you capable of sounds you were unaware of. Rhythmic, never stopping or slowing. So constant you can’t do anything but fall into motion with him.

Bodies syncing up. Hands finding places to touch.  Nipples, lips, thighs, waists, hair. He is holding you spread open for him, your thighs starting to ache. But it’s worth it, because soon, you feel the pleasure spike.

Your stomach tightens, tingling at the base of your spine. “Jungkook,” you moan.

He answers by looking up, lips bitten red and parted.

“Can you,” you can’t finish the sentence, moaning and closing your eyes. Tapping his hand on your thigh is enough though. He releases you, instead pulling your legs around his waist. Closer like this, his chest slides over yours. It gives you just enough space to reach between your bodies and touch yourself.

He looks down at the sensation, cursing at the sight of your fingers playing with your clit while his cock slides in and out of you. The angle doesn’t let you do the same, but you can hear the slick slide clearly. You can feel it dripping down your ass.

The added pleasure is enough to put you on the edge, fast. “I’m gonna—Jungkook!” you yelp when he leans down and sucks a nipple into his mouth. “Fuck.” One hand between your bodies, the other holding his hair.

In seconds, your high hits you. Hard. Your entire body locks up, so much that Jungkook lets out a strangled moan. Fluttering around him he joins you in your peak. Thrusts stilling, pressed deep inside of you. He spills into the condom as you rut your hips, still coming down.

Spent bodies collapse onto the couch, Jungkook refusing to pull out immediately. He’s basking in the feeling of your aftershock, walls still clenching ever so slightly. You can’t blame him. It feels good. Having him inside of you as he lies down, pulling your hips against his, kissing you. His mouth is tender, laving over yours without much hurry. A hand combing through your hair, softly humming, smiling.

He finally pulls out, leaving you feeling empty and slightly sore. Grunting, he ties the condom and makes a show of throwing it into the same mug you used earlier. It makes him grin.

“I’m throwing that mug out.”

“You really don’t have to.”

“Oh, I really do. It’s been tainted beyond remedy. I’m not drinking from that, ever again.”

Jungkook presses his nose against your temple, still grinning like a fool. “You’re so weird.”

You snort. “Says the guy who just three-point shot a condom into a mug full of cum.”

No reply follows, only comfortable silence. Jungkook and you just lie like that for a while. Bodies coming down, breaths evening out, enjoying each other. Slightly sticky with sweat, you let him grab the blanket and throw it over you. Your heart swells.

Could it be possible that you’re not the only one who feels something more? Deep down, you’ve always known he’s not just an asshole. You’ve just never seen that side of him before today. All this time you’ve tried to ignore it. To not let yourself fall for that trap. A guy like him isn’t supposed to be good. Yet, maybe you were wrong about him. And maybe, he feels the same way about you.

Taehyung isn’t gonna let you hear the end of this, but you can’t help but wonder if there is an opportunity for more between you and Jungkook?

“You know,” he says after a while, “We should definitely do this again.”

Your heart shatters. That’s it. Reality crashing down on you. Of course Jungkook doesn’t feel anything for you. He’s just out for sex and you should’ve known.

You scramble up from the couch. Jungkook sputters out something you can’t quite catch, trying to grab a hold of you. “Don’t touch me,” you spit. “I can’t believe you.” Grabbing your panties and pulling them on alongside your sweater, you put distance between the two of you. “Is that what I am to you? Just another cunt to fuck?”

Jungkook’s hastily putting on his boxers, standing up, eyes wide. He opens his mouth, but you don’t care to listen.

“That’s why you were really here, right? To get into my pants. That’s why you had the condom on you.” It’s all falling together now. How could you have been so stupid? “All the fucking whining about Yoongi, but you’re no better than him.”

“Stop,” he rushes, shaking his head. “Listen to me—“

“Don’t!” you call when he reaches for you, grabbing you by the wrists and forcing you to look at him. You try to wriggle away, but he’s holding you steady.

“Listen,” he tries again. “I—“

You shove at his chest. “Let me go, Jungkook. Fucking let me go.”

He obeys, arms falling limply beside his body. Expression going soft when he sees you’re crying. “Please hear me out.”

“No, Jungkook. You don’t get it. I have feelings for you. Real, non-sexual feelings. I don’t just want to be another girl on your checklist.” There it is. Out with the truth. Your breaths come out short and ragged. Harshly wiping your tears, you grab your leggings off the floor. Jungkook just stares at you. “I was stupid to fall for this act.” It’s true. He doesn’t date. Sex. That’s it. You should’ve known, you should’ve protected yourself. Should’ve never let him weasel his way into your heart.

Jungkook deflates, head falling, hair shielding his eyes. “I’m sorry that you think of me this way.”

What a pretentious prick. “Forget it Jungkook, I’m not buying it.” You look outside, rain still pouring down the window. “You know where everything is. I want you out before sunrise.” You turn your back on him and storm into your bedroom, slamming the door closed.

The contents of your cabinet click, something falling to the floor. Your tears only get worse. Feeling the cold of your room wrap around your worn out body. To feel the remnants of him still cling to your skin. The marks, the soreness, and the scent. God, you’re so dumb. You want to call Taehyung, to hear his voice and have him comfort you. But it’s two in the morning and his sleep schedule is shaky enough as it is.

So you just opt for a shower, stripping and getting under the hot spray to wash away whatever you can. You douse yourself in your favourite clementine scented body wash. But it does nothing to clean the fresh tears. Nothing can. The realisation that your feelings for Jungkook had gone way past crush hurts. You let your guard down and he drove a knife into your back.

Sleep, you think. You need sleep. You need to rid yourself of these thoughts and feelings. Wake up tomorrow and just pretend like this never happened. Even if you know it’ll be evident. You can pretend.

You dry off and brush your teeth. Three times to be precise. Ending up in bed wrapped in your favourite teddy sweater, warm and cosy. Your chest still aches with tears that no longer fall. Heart heavy. Like you miss him close to you.

There’s not much you can do but close your eyes and will your mind to shut off. You don’t want to think about him anymore.

The creaking of your door opening startles you right as you’re drifting off. He better be joking. You refuse to move, holding tightly onto the blanket, hoping that he’s just checking in on you and will leave. You hear the door click closed, and then the bed dips.

You hold your breath. Jungkook doesn’t speak. He lifts the covers so he can scoot under them and pull you against his chest. It’s not a tight hold, but it’s there. A strong arm draped over your waist, legs grazing yours as you pretend to be asleep. The feather-light gaze of his lips against your neck makes fresh tears appear in your eyes.

“Jungkook,” you croak.

He shushes you. “I know you’re upset with me. I just don’t want you to be alone when you’re feeling like this. We can talk in the morning—if you want. For now, just get some rest.”

It’s true. You shouldn’t be alone, crying yourself to sleep. Even if he’s the one that caused it. You just don’t want to let yourself trust the gesture. He’s probably trying to make you feel less angry. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s appreciated, ill intent or not. Having someone here is calming, letting you fall into an unruly slumber.

The next morning, you wake up in his embrace. Closer, back pressed to his chest. His nose nuzzles into your hair. It’s so nice. Warm. Soothing. He’s a good cuddler.

Then, your entire body stiffens. The previous night coming back to you in flashes. Your bodies entwined on the couch, moans bouncing off the wall. You swallow tightly, lifting his arm.

“Hey,” Jungkook whispers. He must’ve already been awake, reaching for your hand and giving it a small squeeze. “Should I go?”

Yes. “No,” you mumble. You need answers. To make the story whole before you force him out of your life for good.

“Do you want to—”

“Why do you always act like such a dick around me?”

Jungkook takes a deep breath. “Because you won’t give me the time of day otherwise.”

You still, practically holding your breath so that you can hear every word.

“Every time I’m nice to you, you pretend like I don’t exist. When I push your buttons,” he sighs, “that’s when I get your attention.”

Attention? He wants your attention? Your mind’s running circles, afraid to turn around and see the look in his eyes and get swayed. Feel remorse for the pain you hear lined in his voice. That you can feel in the trembling of his hand encasing yours.

“Can you at least say something?” he asks.

“I don’t know what you want me to say.”

He sits up, the mattress shifting and your eyes closing tightly.  “Sit up, please.”  Grabbing your arm, Jungkook gets you to reluctantly sit up and face him. Though you won’t look at him, eyes on your knees that nearly touch his. You notice that he’s still in his boxers, but he’s at least wearing a shirt. He doesn’t force you to look at him when he starts speaking again. “I want to be honest with you.” He toys with the edge of your sheets. “But if you’re not going to listen to the whole story it’s not worth telling you.”

Your heart hammers. Tears threaten to fall. Taking a deep breath gives away your nerves. You want to tell him he can’t ask that of you. That he doesn’t deserve that. But if there’s even a slight chance of a misunderstanding—something your heart hopes for—you have to hear him out. Even if it’ll hurt. “Okay.”

“Thank you,” he mumbles. He’s nervous too. Breath shaky like his body, nearly curled in on himself. You never thought you’d see him this vulnerable. “Honestly, when I first met you, I was intrigued by you because I couldn’t have you. You just held up your nose every time I as much as looked your way. It made me want to know more about you. And the moment I did, it was over for me. I realised that you’re not just opinionated, crass, and entitled. You’re smart, a hard worker, and you’re such a good friend.”

You finally dare to look up. To see the desperate look in his eyes as he pauses. Shocked.

“I admire you,” he whispers.

“What?” you blurt. “You’re the one with the straight A’s, not me.”

He shakes his head in defeat, biting his lip and looking away. “The only reason I’m getting straight A’s is because I’ve taken these classes before. I’m not like you, I don’t work hard. I should be studying like you.”

You frown. “What do you mean, you’ve done them before? Do you already have a law degree?”

Jungkook avoids your eyes. “When I got out of high school at the age of seventeen, I got into a big university with a scholarship. The full ride. But I was stupid,” he croaks. “I wanted to fully enjoy the college ride. So I studied just enough to get by and dedicated the rest of my time to partying.” He says it like he’s disgusted with himself. Muscles in his neck tightening as he swallows impending tears. “I got arrested for underage drinking and lost the entire scholarship. Everything I had worked so hard for, down the drain.”

The words leave him pained, the regret for his past decisions clear in his eyes. Yet, he’s still here, studying this degree you know most students can’t afford. You have a scholarship too.

“So yeah,” he breathes. “I wish I had a little more discipline like you. I admire that you’re able to put school first. As much as I pretend to hate you just to get your attention, I like being around you. You’re a positive influence on people, including me.”

“So it’s my fault? For judging you?”

Jungkook’s eyes widen. “No, not at all. As I said, I was being an ass on purpose because I was curious about you. But when I got to know you,” he cocks his head to the side, “feelings happened. I just couldn't find a way to show you the better sides of myself. Which is partially why I showed up yesterday.”

“Huh,” you frown. So he did have ulterior motives? “How does that change anything? You still showed up here to sleep with me.” He’s talking in circles. You feel remorse for him, but you tell yourself to stay strong. His past doesn’t excuse his actions.

“I really wasn’t planning on sleeping with you. I wouldn’t do that to you. There just was no other way to get you to spend time alone with me. I wanted to show you a better side of me, hoping that you’d realise I’m not all bad and maybe would give me a chance.” A chance to what? “I like you,” he adds when you don’t respond, “a lot.”

What? He can’t be serious. After everything that happened.

“But I also care about you. I like being around you—bickering included. I genuinely wanted to help. I know how hard it is to start again, I didn’t want to see you go through that.”

You go silent. Trying to think over his words and not see the bad. To believe that he means it. He did help you after all. He studied with you for hours, never insinuating anything sexual. He was nice, comforting and believed in you. You never asked for any of that. And after all, you kissed him too. You could’ve stopped it. If he had just wanted sex, he wouldn’t be here.

But he is. “Jungkook, I’m so sorry,” you say, grabbing his hand.

“I’m the one who’s sorry. For making you feel used. I should’ve just been honest with you.” Jungkook laces your fingers together. “I know it was a dick move on my side to sleep with you. I shouldn’t have said what I said.”

“I played as much of a part in it as you did. So let’s just—how about we call it even. Bury the hatchet?” You cock your head to the side, rubbing your thumb over the back of his hand. It won’t be easy, you’ll need to do a lot of thinking, but your heart wants to forgive him. To see more of his gentler side.

He nods, lifting up your hand and pressing his lips against your knuckles. “Sounds good to me.”

The two of you get up after that, even if it’s a little awkward. It’s weird to not be bickering with him. You’re surprised that he actually cleaned the living room last night. There’s not a trace of him left aside from his clothes that are carefully folded on the table. Even that mug is gone.

“What do you want to eat?” you ask, reaching to the top shelve for another mug.

Jungkook comes closer. “Just coffee is okay for now.”

You turn, almost bumping into his chest, blushing heavily. Now that he knows you have feelings for him, he’s enjoying himself just a little too much. Smiling at you while you’re making coffee and some cereal for yourself. You eat in silence, browsing through your phone.

It’s when you get up to clean, that Jungkook speaks again.

“Hey,” he says, grabbing you back by the waist.

“Hi?” You turn around in his grip.

“You know,” he starts, hand coming up to brush your hair behind your ear. “As much as I regret what I said yesterday, I did mean it.”

“What?” You chuckle lightly. “You want to do that again?”

He nods, and you catch a faint redness dusting his cheeks. “I do, a lot of times, if you want.”

You laugh, twisting away from him to put the dishes in the sink. “If that is your way of you asking me to be your girlfriend, Jungkook, then I must say you’re not quite hitting the right angle. Seeing what happened yesterday.” He can’t seriously be thinking you just want him for sex after all that. You start cleaning, even if it’s just to avoid having to look at him and admit that you’re shy. Thinking about what happened last night—the good parts.

Sighing, he turns off the tap that you had just turned on.

“Hey!” You turn it back on, only to have him shut it off again. “What do you want?”

“I’m not saying that I want you to be my girlfriend. I don’t think I’m ready for that just yet.” He leans in, brushing his nose against yours, searching your eyes like he’d done the night before. Like he’s waiting for permission.

You couldn’t resist him even if you tried. So you kiss him, just briefly. “Then what are you ready for, big boy?”

He laughs. “For starters, I would love to take you out for dinner after the exam that’s in,” he looks up at the clock, “six hours.”

You groan, throwing your head back. “Don’t remind me.” It’s probably a wiser decision to take some time to think. See how you feel about this, but dinner won’t hurt. “I will still need some time to think about,” you gesture between you two, “whatever this is.”

“Oh,” his face falls. “Yeah, I get that. I just thought that—since you said you have feelings for me too.” Jungkook pouts. He fucking juts out his bottom lip and you haven’t seen anything more endearing in your entire life. Your heart does a weird little flip, and you know that you’re a goner. Even more so than you had been before last night.

Now you know that he is good. That he is worthy of a chance. So why not give it? Why would you sit around and let your mind think all sorts of negative things about him if you can give him the chance to prove to you that he’s a great guy. As he said, it’s just a date. Not a label. Yet.

When he turns away, you pull him back by his hand, slamming your lips to his. He grunts, both hands coming up to thread through your hair. The kiss isn’t deep. It isn’t anything like the way you kissed last night. It sweeps you off your feet, so tender and warm. When he pulls away, you’re out of breath and you can see the adoration in his eyes. You hope he can see it in yours.

Then, he pinches your butt.

You push at his chest. “Thanks for reminding me that you’re still an annoying brat.”

He chuckles, giving you a peck on the lips. “But you like me that way.”

“Sadly,” you grumble, winding your arms around his neck. “I do.”

Demise of Dorothy Walker

(continued from previous note)

  “Wait…how many times has she jumped out the window today, exactly?” Trish questioned, tilting her head with some obvious confusion. “Jess, are you aware that windows can be opened before you jump through them, if you’re that opposed to doors?”

 Jessica ignored her, wiggling out of Trish’s loosened embrace and taking several steps back, crossing her arms over her chest as though to defend herself from any further attempts at being given affection. She nodded stiffly at Luke, attempting to take in what he is saying.

 “From what the kid in the apartment said and what I saw on the surveillance film, before he fucking destroyed it, it doesn’t seem like he needs much more than a look. I don’t know, maybe he needs a certain amount of time, or access to his inner rage, who the hell knows. But maybe not. I don’t need anything to jump or punch someone, so why should he?”

 “But you might have limitations that you don’t know about, or some sort of kryptonite that you have to avoid,” Trish pointed out, siding with Luke. “I’ve always told you that you should be doing more to understand your abilities. Who knows, Jess, they could be time limited, you could suddenly lose them one day, or maybe if you use them a certain amount of times they just stop or something. They might even be hurting you internally somehow, every time you jump or hit something, and you don’t realize it until you drop dead some day.”

 “Cheerful,” Jessica said sarcastically. “I’ll cross my fingers, maybe we’ll all be so lucky.”

 “Not funny,” Trish said sharply, narrowing her eyes at her. “I’m serious. You need to understand what has made you what you are, now more than ever. And you need to understand what has made Phillip who he is.”

 “He killed the people who made us who we are,” Jessica pointed out. “What am I supposed to do, search for a secret diary? “Dear diary, today I injected Kangaroo Hulk chemicals into a girl and Pyro chemicals into a boy, I sure hope it causes world chaos?” Something like that?”

  Trish looked at Luke for help, sighing. “I know you’re upset, Jessica,” she said quietly. “But we’re the ones supporting you. We’re the ones trying to help you, so if you’re trying the pushing away thing you love to do, it isn’t working, and it’s not going to make you feel any better. I’m not asking you to be happy, but save some of the venom for the people who deserve it.”

 Jessica’s cheeks reddened, and she swallowed, biting down the inside of her cheeks with shame she didn’t want them to see. She tried to cover it by turning to throw away her now empty bottle.

 “Fine. Guess we backtrack. I’ve got the contact information for the woman who started all this, the wife of the third doctor he killed. Let’s see what sort of contacts she might know to put me in touch with.”

 Six miles away, Phillip Jones and his long term girlfriend, Rikarah Pallaton, were casually seated across each other at the small kitchen table of Rikarah’s apartment, laptops open side by side. Rikarah’s apartment, although not especially large or fancy, was far more comfortable and lived-in looking in its appearance than Phillip’s rented motel room had been, and there are far more indications of a man’s presence within its interior. Before contacting Jessica at all, Phillip had actually first been living there with Rikarah, and he had kept only enough of his belongings at the motel room for daily, necessary use- just enough to make it appear that he had no other place of residence. Although he had spent most nights there in the past several weeks, just in case Jessica or one of her associates happened to be watching him, it was never intended to be more than a temporary cover address.

 The only person he felt himself to belong to was Rikarah, and the only place he wished to reside would be wherever it was she chose. For the past few years he had followed her in her frequent relocations across the country, content to join her and at times assist her in wherever she felt lead to be and whatever she felt lead to do. They had met at a bar some four years ago, on a night that Phillip had intended little more to get drunk and hook up with someone, but it hadn’t been long before he discovered that there was far more to Rikarah, his intended “someone” of the night, then met eye. The dark-haired, pixie-featured beauty with darkly themed tattoos over her torso, barely visible peeking out the edges of her tank top’s neckline, carried far more steely strength and sharply focused intelligence than her slight frame would ever indicate.

 Rikarah, much like his sister, was a self-appointed vigilante, Phillip had discovered over time as she gradually let him into her world and her view of her life’s mission. Although she, unlike Jessica or himself, rarely, if ever, used her own supernatural abilities, and rarely did more for a living than bartend, waitress, or sell her own artwork online or in sidewalk sales, she nevertheless carried a power and purpose that Phillip at first was in awe of, then became seduced into emulating. For the first few years of his adulthood he had drifted, aimless, alone, and feeling that there was nothing to his existence that was worthy. Life held little to interest him, and he felt little connection to the world or anyone in it, even himself.

 Rikarah had changed that. In her quiet, steely-eyed focus on her view of truth and justice, she had changed his life and forever altered its course. She had opened his eyes to the grade power he possessed and the responsibility this charged him with to use it for the world’s benefit. How could he not, when he had so much potential at his disposal?

 Rikarah was physically weaker and smaller, lacked the sort of super powers that could be used on a daily and practical basis for protection or defense, and had no more money or family in the world than Phillip himself; if anything, she had been given far less in the way of advantage. And yet, by the time she was seventeen years old, she had already begun her life’s mission of identifying, and then ending the lives of people too twisted up in their abusive behaviors to deserve them. And she had started out with her very own family.

 Over time, Phillip had come to understand and believe in Rikarah’s view of the world, and to accept her view of his responsibility to it. It was she who had urged him to find those who had persecuted himself in his childhood, to take them out before they could harm others. It was also she who encouraged him to find his sister Jessica and insert himself into her life, to begin to know her- and to gradually bring her to understand their view of the world, in hopes of bringing her to join them.

 They both saw Jessica’s involvement in the death of Kevin Kilgrave as a very promising sign. If she had killed once, for the good of the world, it shouldn’t be too difficult to bring her into accepting the idea of killing again for the same reasons.

 But Jessica had been quicker to catch on than they had expected- too quick, even for the fact of her being a private investigator by living. Phillip blamed Patricia Walker for that. The woman had been interfering with his sister’s life since they were barely teenagers, and now her claws had sunk so deeply into her that Jessica couldn’t seem to separate herself from her influence. Without Trish there, it would be easier to sway Jessica into their way of thinking. And the easiest way to weaken Trish, from what Rikarah and Phillip had come to understand, was to first remove her mother from the picture.

 It would have been done anyway, at some point. It was because of Dorothy Walker that Phillip had grown up apart from his sister, living in abusive homes. It was because of her lies that Jessica had thought him to be dead for more than half his lifetime. She was a liar, a con artist, and a child abuser, an opportunist of the worst kind, even towards her own daughter. The world would not suffer for her loss, and its gains would be considerable.

 88

 The plan was simple. Rikarah had subtly tracked the woman’s routine for the past several days, and when Phillip let her know that the time had come for them to make their move, they arrived separately at her address, following at considerable distance. They had assumed and been correct to see that Dorothy would disregard Trish’s warning for her to leave town, too arrogant to assume anyone could want her dead or be successful in making it happen. Rikarah waited for her outside of her talent studio for up and coming young actors and models as Dorothy made her way to open for the morning, with Phillip following at a distance. As Dorothy moved to unlock the door, clearly intending to go about her day as usual to bully young girls in the name of “career advice and advancement” all while making considerable money, Rikarah called out to her in a cultivated mix of hesitation and urgency, stepping into her peripheral view.

 “Ms. Walker? Ms. Walker- you’re Patsy’s mother, aren’t you? Dorothy Walker?”

 She had deliberately used the name that Dorothy preferred to call Trish rather than Trish’s own preference, in a subtle alignment with the woman. Dorothy turned slightly, narrowing her eyes as she looked Rikarah up and down. Finding her to be physically unthreatening and not recognizable, she raised her eyebrows at her.

 “Yes? Do you or your daughter have an appointment with me today? I don’t take walk ins, young lady, but if you want an appointment for yourself, let me advise you now that you should consider acting over modeling. You have the figure for it, but hardly the height.”

  She turned back to unlock the door, but froze when Rikarah spoke again.

 “Please Ms. Walker, it’s Patsy. She’s…I don’t like to do this, go behind her back, but you’re her mother, and I feel like you should know before anyone else. You have a reputation in this town, you’re so respected, maybe you can do something to help before it’s too late for her-“

 “What’s happened?” Dorothy demanded, spinning around fast and facing Rikarah fully and with intensity. “Keep your voice down, if she’s doing something to ruin her reputation again- we can’t have this discussion out where just anyone can hear! Just who are you anyway?”

 “I’m Emily Oliver,” Rikarah lied smoothly, and when Dorothy looked blank, she added, “I was an extra on It’s Patsy, they used me in party or school scenes a lot. I don’t expect you to remember or know me, Ms. Walker, but I’ve always followed and admired you and Patsy. I hate to see her destroy herself now when you’ve worked so hard to repair her reputation to everyone. That Jessica Jones, she-“

 “I should have known it would have something to do with Jessica,” Dorothy hissed under her breath, shaking her head grimly. “That girl has always been a thorn at my side from the day she- but never mind, we can’t have this conversation out here. Emma, was it? Come inside, before the girls start arriving.”

 She gestured for Rikarah to follow her, and Rikarah started to, then hesitated.

 “Wait- I left my phone in my car. Someone sent me some photos of Patsy, they thought it was funny, I guess, but- maybe if I show you, maybe we can stop them from getting out to the media. Maybe-“

 “Yes, yes, go get your phone, make it quick, now,” Dorothy said impatiently, nodding her head and flapping her hand as though to dismiss the younger woman. “Meet me inside. I’m locking the door, I can’t be having clients come in and overhear this. Ring the doorbell when you’re back, I’ll let you in.”

  This was exactly what Rikarah and Phillip had been hoping for; they couldn’t have planned a better set up themselves. Nodding, biting her lip theatrically, Rikarah turned to walk towards the parking lot, taking her time about it, even as she watched out the corner of her eye to check that Dorothy did indeed go into the building and lock the door behind herself.

 Now it was all up to Phillip. Retrieving her phone, she texted him a single word, “okay,” and he was ready. Exiting Rikarah’s car, even as she slipped inside it, he casually walked past the studio, hands deep in his pockets. To anyone passing by, he would look no more than a person on his way somewhere, uninterested and uninvolved in anything suspicious.

 As he passed directly in front of the front door, he paused, looking towards it. With a few moments of intense concentration, he visualized Dorothy, waiting for Rikarah within. Twenty seconds later, screams burst into the air, and the sound of smoke detectors blared forth shrilly as Dorothy Walker’s skin began to burn.

 With the same casualness as before, Phillip continued to walk, bypassing the dying woman as Rikarah pulled out of the parking lot. Several blocks later, as she stopped at a prearranged stop sign, he slid into the passenger seat beside her. Mission accomplished.

Warren Worthington- Share My Bed

word count: 2.7K ish 

warnings: small mentions of sex, a little cussing, FLUFF

summary: reader is always getting kicked out of her room and becomes friends with peter (maximoff) and meets warren, his roommate-- also i wrote peter as like a huge ping pong fanatic whoops sorry not sorry 

i’m such a slut for soft warren so :)) enjoy this please

One of the perks of being a student at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters was the opportunity to learn to control your special abilities to better protect yourself and others. One of the cons that (Y/n) had most recently discovered, was having roommates. Since the whole Apocalypse incident, a lot more mutants had enrolled in the school, either they heard about it from the news broadcastings and decided to find it for themselves or their parents enrolled them, fearing that they could get hurt if not trained properly (which is 100% true). (Y/n) thankfully didn’t have to room with any of the newbies, but she did have to move into Jean’s room. It could’ve been worse, at least she was close to Jean, having been friends with her since even before the thing with Apocalypse.

One bad thing about rooming with Jean was the fact that Jean and Scott like to spend time together. A lot of time together. Doing things. Meaning, almost every day (Y/n) was asked (not so politely) to leave the room for an hour or two. She often voiced her opinion on this. “Why can’t you guys go fuck in Scott’s room? It’s not fair! I have homework to do and I need to be in here with all my books and my desk, okay? I don’t care how horny you guys are, just suck it up!” 

(Y/n)’s opinions never seemed to have any impact on Jean or Scott. Scott would always say the same, short apology about how he didn’t want to risk scarring Kurt, Scott’s new roommate, for life (since Kurt was one of the more innocent students of Xavier’s school). Jean would always give her puppy dog eyes and whisper in (Y/n)’s mind, “I would do it for you and you know that.” 

(Y/n) knew Jean was right, she would do it for her, but luckily for Jean (and unluckily for (Y/n)) no boy seemed remotely interested in her. Ever since Jean and Scott had started up their after school fucking sessions, she had started to seek refuge in Peter’s room. Peter Maximoff was... interesting to say the least. He was quick on his feet and even quicker to make sarcastic remarks so she quite enjoyed his company. (Y/n) had first met him last school year when he single-handedly saved the entire student body and staff from being blown up. They had become quite the pair of friends since then, sharing music taste and enjoying a good game of ping pong (even if (Y/n) wasn’t able to keep up). 

Even Peter, one of the older students/trainees, had been affected by the roommate situation, which effectively put a damper on their hang out time. About a week after they started to hang out, Hank had stopped by to announce that Peter would be getting a roommate. Hank briefly described the boy as one of Apocalypse’s minions who was now in need of a new home so that he hopefully wouldn’t wander into dark forces again. 

Peter had not been pleased, at all. Professor Xavier had made him move his ping pong table into the ‘game room’ (which also included Peter’s old Pac-Man game and a crappy pool table) to make room for another bed. 

Two days later Peter’s roommate had showed up while (Y/n) was kicked out of her room. He was absolutely terrifying. (Y/n) immediately recognized him, even though he looked significantly different than he had during the battle. She recalled him having metal wings, which she had seen rip many of her fellow classmates to shreds. They were gone, replaced by feathered white ones. His face was the same, shaved sides of his head and threatening face tattoos, serving as a constant reminder of the things he did. (Y/n) wanted to ask how he had changed his wings so quickly, but was too scared to do so. Lucky for her, Hank had taken the opportunity to explain after Peter had asked a similar question. 

“We were able to remove the metal pieces and he grew his original wings back just fine. He will be on bed rest for the next few days though, still recovering.” He didn’t mention if they attempted to remove the face tattoos, but (Y/n) was too stunned to ask Hank about them. He grew back his wings? Holy shit that must hurt, she thought. 

The boy, Warren (which she had learned from Peter), had stepped out to get a bite from the cafeteria. “So, did Hank really say he’d be on bed rest for a few days? I don’t like that.” Peter had looked up at her, slightly confused, “It’s no big deal. He doesn’t seem to talk much. We can still do our thing.”

(Y/n) shook her head, “He scares me. Sorry, Pete. I’ll find somewhere else to hang for today and the next few days till he’s out and about.”

Peter wasn’t going to take this. First, he lost his ping pong table, then he had to get a roommate, and now he was losing precious pong time with a friend? Nope. Not happening. “Come on, (Y/n)! You aren’t leaving me like this! We have table tennis to play, and he’s not scary so come on!” She shook her head before standing up to leave. 

Peter rushed in front of her, using his super speed. “Nope, nuh uh. Please stay, I’ll get so bored!” (Y/n) rolled her eyes at this. “Peter, you get bored at everything!” 

“Exactly! Come on, I’ll get us pizza and milkshakes as a thank you.” After rolling her eyes once more, (Y/n) finally nodded. Peter quickly slipped on his goggles and gave her arm a quick squeeze. “Stay here, okay? I’ll be back, two minutes-tops.” Peter left before she could get another word in. (Y/n) moved to sit down on Peter’s bed, waiting.

Not even thirty seconds later the door opened (causing (Y/n) to stand up) and in walked- that’s not Peter, she thought. Peter’s roommate, Warren, shuffled through the door, hands full, struggling to fit with his half opened wings. “Do.. do you need a hand?” (Y/n) was hesitant in asking this, worried that she might actually have to hold a conversation with him. She was sure she wouldn’t be able to speak with his cold eyes staring her down. To her surprise he nodded, handing her a plate he was holding. “You know, most people eat in the cafeteria. We’re not really supposed to bring food back into our rooms... attracts roaches.” That sounded condescending, didn’t it? And why would I mention roaches, ew!

(Y/n) waited for a response, but none came. She moved to place his dish of pasta down on the desk that had been assigned as his. 

“I know.” His voice made (Y/n)’s head snap up, “huh?”

“I know I’m supposed to eat in the cafeteria. I was going to sit down, but there were no empty tables. I can’t just sit with people.” 

(Y/n)’s eyebrows furrowed at his statement. “Why-um, why can’t you sit with people?” His eyes finally met hers, moving up from where they were on the floor. (Y/n) had thought she would’ve found nothing but coldness in his eyes, but instead she found a certain warmth that she hadn’t seen in anyone before. 

“No one wants to sit with me. They’re scared of me, everyone is.” His head dropped again and he took a seat on his bed, remembering how Hank told him to keep his movements to a minimum. She felt awful that she was ever scared of him. He just wanted to be liked, get a fresh start. Right as (Y/n) was about to respond, Peter ran into the room, covered in some sort of pink substance, but still holding two boxes of pizza and two shakes, as promised.  

“Hey! Sorry I’m late, spilled a strawberry milkshake while I was trying to get out of there fast.” Peter placed the items on his desk, acknowledging Warren with a small nod. “Why were you trying to get out fast, Peter?” (Y/n) had heard enough about him from Professor Xavier and Hank to know he was quite the kleptomaniac. “I was, you know-just wanted the pizza to stay hot..?”

“Oh god Peter, you stole them!” 

“No! I mean-technically yes, but they were freshly made and the place was going to close without selling them. They would’ve been thrown away! And... stolen pizza tastes so much better.” (Y/n) rolled her eyes. She knew she shouldn’t expect anything less than criminal activity from Peter, but god he was just so damn cheap sometimes. “You have a problem, Peter. Like a serious problem.” 

“Oh shut up and eat your stolen pizza.” 

The rest of the afternoon was pizza and ping pong (on the table that Peter had snuck back in, which took up about the only open space that was left in the room) until Jean spoke to (Y/n) in her head. “You can come back. Scott is gone.” 

(Y/n) bid her goodbye to Peter and gave Warren a quick smile before leaving, tired and not wanting to be awake any longer. 

After (Y/n) closed the door Warren sat back up, trying to appear more friendly before speaking to Peter. “So-uhm. What’s her name? The, the girl..” Warren’s face felt a little hot, still shy talking to Peter. “(Y/n). She’s been a student here for a couple years now. She fought with us last year too, you might remember that.” Peter didn’t mean to bring up last year’s battle, but it just slipped out. 

“Yes, I remember.. I remember all of that. Regret it too.” In a sudden flash of silver, Peter was seated next to Warren, patting his shoulder. “It’s alright bro, no one blames you. I totally would’ve done anything a blue-god-mutant-dude-thingy told me to, especially if he was offering me rewards. I get it.” 

Warren felt his chest lighten, relief flooding him. He liked the idea of no one blaming him. Maybe this place will work out after all, he thought.

The next day after classes, (Y/n) was expecting to have to head to Peter’s room, but was surprised to not find Scott in Jean’s bed. “Where’s Scotty at?” 

Jean looked up from her books, “Special training with Professor Xavier. He’s coming over tonight though.” (Y/n)’s eyes widened comically, “Tonight? As in night time? What-what, just-no!”

“Come on, (Y/n). We’ve been dating for almost a year and haven’t slept in the same bed, it’s weird.” (Y/n) shook her head, still in shock at what Jean was trying to explain to her. “No! No no no! I don’t care how long you’ve been dating, I will not be kicked out of my room at night time! Where am I supposed sleep?” 

“I would do it for you, (Y/n). You know that.” (Y/n) groaned, knowing Jean would do it for her if she ever had a boyfriend over. “Fine... I need to go find somewhere to sleep tonight.” Jean nodded, returning to her homework. 

(Y/n) wandered down the hall to Peter’s room, knocking quickly. He opened the door before jumping back onto his bed. “Hey! Jean and Scott at it already? Seems early.” She shook her head, pushing his legs over so she can sit. “No they’re not. Scott is training and Jean decided it would be a genius idea to have him over tonight, like to spend the night. Can I sleep in here? Please..” 

Warren’s head flicked up at her words. He wasn’t sure how he felt about (Y/n) staying with them. He probably wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing she was there. What if I snored? Or sleep talked about her? What if I woke up with a boner and she saw? He wasn’t sure why his heart was racing so much. He had only known her for a day, but she seemed so.. so nice and carefree. He wanted that in his life, wanted her in his life. 

Peter nodded, “Jean and Scott are kind of assholes, you know, for doing that to you, but yeah sure. We can squeeze you in, right Warren? You okay with that?”

Warren nodded, eyes meeting hers. “Oh thank you so much! Let me go grab some pillows and blankets to make my bed on the floor.” She rushed out and headed back down the hallway to her and Jean’s room. She opened the door, seeing Scott already sitting on Jean’s bed. “You’re here early. Does that mean I can sleep in my own bed tonight?” Scott just looked over to Jean, hoping she would know the correct answer. “He’s still staying the night.” (Y/n) groaned, “Great... I need to grab some stuff.” 

“Oh lighten up (Y/n). It’s a Friday night, it’s not like we have classes in the morning.”

“Shut it, Summers.” She grabbed her pillow before slamming the door shut, already making her way back to Peter and Warren’s room. Their door was still open so she walked straight in and began constructing her bed.. until she realized she had only brought a pillow. She left again, headed down the hall to grab her comforter. As she reached Jean’s door she saw the sock on the handle, which meant they were already at it. Those two are like rabbits, I swear.

She slowly walked back into Peter’s room, feet dragging. “Hey Pete, I can’t make a bed. I don’t have any blankets so can I borrow some?” (Y/n) looked at Peter’s bed, hoping to see extra blankets she could use, but her eyes were met with just a single sheet stretched out. Right, Peter doesn’t use blankets.

Peter generates so much heat at night, he can’t sleep with more than a sheet on him. He shook his head, “I don’t have any, sorry. But you can just share my bed. It’s roomy and I don’t take up a lot of space.”

Warren’s eyes opened, he did not like the idea of (Y/n) sleeping in Peter’s bed. He wanted to offer her his blanket, but with his wings still recovering, Hank told him he needed to keep his body temperature up at all times. 

“Oh.. okay I guess, but if you try to make any moves, Maximoff, you’re dead.” He nodded, slight smirk on his face, “Can’t make any promises.” 

They spent the next few hours in the shitty game room playing pac man before playing an intense game of ping pong. At 10 o’clock, Warren was headed to sleep, body exhausted from regrowing his wings. He knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep, too busy thinking about (Y/n) being curled up in Peter’s bed, but he might as well try seeing as how he had nothing better to do. 

Since Warren and Peter are roommates, if Warren was going to bed that meant Peter was also going to bed. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, (Y/n) soon followed. Their bodies had a good couple inches between them, but she could still feel Peter’s movements. (Y/n) was woken up at 11 o’clock to Peter kicking her. She sat up and saw Peter moving rapidly. He looked like he was running in his sleep, continuously kicking her. (Y/n) scooted closer to the edge of his bed to avoid his legs, but after another few kicks, Peter kicked her off the bed. 

“Ow, fuck..” She whispered her words, trying not to wake up Warren (but of course he had been awake the whole night and heard her body hit the ground).

His raspy voice spoke out into the darkness, “Y-you okay?”

“No, Peter is a bitch to share a bed with. He literally kicked me off.”

Warren reached up to turn on his bedside lamp, seeing her laying on the floor, shivering. His mouth opened before he could stop himself. “You can share my bed.”

(Y/n) looked up so fast she could’ve sworn she got whiplash, “What?” In the dim lighting she was still able to see the blush form on Warren’s face. “I-I just meant... you know, since the floor is cold and I have a.. bed.”

“Okay.” Warren was surprised, seeing her jump up and climb into his bed. “O-okay. And s-sorry if my wings get in the way. Also they’re kind of hot so if you need to move the blanket we can.”

She shook her head, pulling the blanket over her. Warren saw that she was still shivering so he wrapped his wings around her, not giving it a second thought, holding her between the warm feathers. He felt her hand grab his arm, wrapping it around her waist. Warren’s face burned, but he loved having her so close to him, all his previous worries flying out the window.  

“Good night, Warren.”

“Night, (Y/n). Sweet dreams.”

Chris Jackson - October 28 2013

[x]

'Miss McGrath isn't here at the moment I'm afraid," says the man behind the desk at the Covent Garden Hotel, mispronouncing it "grath" as in "wrath", as so many Englishmen tend to do.

He directs me toward the avocado-coloured bar where I wait upon a comfy floral print chair as rich olive-skinned guests sip on cocktails and beer at a marble-topped bar, backed by a large fanlight mirror, which seduces shameless stares of vanity from a few.

The wait is short as Katie strides in, searching the tables for me, smiling at strangers, until she finds me. She greets me with a hug and before I have a chance to say anything she's ordered tea, soda and a small bowl of macadamia nuts, which she then devours in not too short order. She's not one to stand on ceremony.

Katie's in London promoting the latest television adaptation of one of fiction's most popular characters, Dracula. From the producers of Downton Abbey, Dracula is a major British and American co-production, primed to capture audiences across the world.

She leans back against the wall pulling her left knee into her body, as if at home on her couch, rather than in the bar of a five-star London hotel. She speaks in a low voice with the soft and steady cadence of a person of some cultivation, save for the odd swear, which only serves for emphasis. I ask her about her Dracula.

"With this Dracula they've taken the story and they've flipped it. They've made it more modern. There's a modern comic-book element to the story.

"The Dracula of this story is playing a role, that of an American industrialist, to exact revenge on those who wronged him."

It is, like others, a departure from Bram Stoker's original, although, as Katie points out, the Dubliner may have warmed to an adaptation where Dracula and two other main characters are played by Irish actors – Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Victoria Smurfit are the other two. (Katie, like Stoker, is an alumni of Trinity). She plays Lucy Westenra.

The Lucy Westenra of Bram Stoker's original was the embodiment of youthful innocence, the counterpoint to Dracula. I ask her what we can expect from her Lucy.

"My Lucy is a complete departure. In Stoker's Dracula she is a paragon of virtue. She is the idealised Victorian woman. She's sweet, kind, soft and gentle. She's the archetype of goodness," she says, stopping shortly before each sentence with a pregnant pause. She is polished in her speech.

"My Lucy, however, well, she's more of a high society 'It' girl. She seems vapid and vacuous at first. Then you see she has problems of her own, problems which will completely change your outlook on her. She's not the sweet girl of Bram Stoker's novel."

Katie is keen to point out that the departure doesn't stop there and that her Lucy is, like herself, an independent woman.

"She doesn't take sh*t from no one. She's the one in control, blonde strumpet that she is," she says.

Stoker's Lucy is a woman pursued by multiple suitors, but Katie is reticent on the subject of her own suiters.

She betrays the discomfort of someone who is not used to attention, someone who is still coming to terms with their success. It's understandable, she never saw such a future for herself when she was younger.

Katie McGrath was not a typical teenager. She had pink hair, listened to Green Day, and worked in a Tattoo Parlour. She was someone who you could imagine in a Kevin Smith or Richard Linklater film – a Goth, an Emo, a Rocker, an outlier. She no longer sees herself in such terms.

"I don't see myself as alternative anymore. You get to a point in life where you're comfortable with who you are and exist in your own world. I'm just me, walking around and trying to do a job without failing, although I do miss the pink hair."

Her path to stardom was unforeseen and unusual. An average student at Trinity (she studied history), she, like so many, did not know what she wanted to do with her life post-graduation. She played with the idea of a career in fashion and worked for Image magazine to achieve her left-field dream of being Vogue magazine's China editor. She then swung a job as a seamstress, though she couldn't sew, on the set of The Tudors, which was filmed near her home in Wicklow.

As she says "they needed a busty wench" for a love scene with Jonathan Rhys Meyers and she was happy to oblige them. Within a year she was cast as Morgana in BBC's Merlin, acting before millions of viewers in more than 150 countries.

The young woman whose life was without clear direction before was now on a path to great fame and fortune. It's little wonder she refers to herself as "having won the lottery".

As Morgana, Katie became a favourite of fantasy fanboys (the polite term for nerds), who can be quite obsessive. Often some of them live their lives vicariously through shows and their characters. She's experienced it first-hand, receiving, among other things, penned stories, pictures and dolls of herself as Morgana. She came face-to- face with many of them at San Diego's annual Comic-Con, a Mecca for fans of fantasy, sci-fi, and comic books, one of whom was Katie herself.

"It was amazing, it was like a place of joy, it was like a giant air-filled hangar of joy" she says with a broad smile, in between eating more macadamias. "They're all pretending to be someone, be it Princess Leah or Green Arrow, but at the same time that is who they are.”

"It's both bizarre and wonderful to see all these people pretend to be others and be so comfortable doing it."

Not all the parts she's played have been as successful. Take Madonna's directorial debut, W.E., in which Katie was cast. W.E. was panned by critics and was barely seen by anyone, taking less than $900,000 at the box office (The King's Speech, a similarly themed film, took more than $400m the year before).

"I think W.E. was a good film. I think critics were always going to be tough on it because it was Madonna's film. If it had been any other first time director I think they'd have been far more supportive of it" she says sincerely.

In spite of the failure of W.E. Katie's career has kicked-on, and last year she was cast in Channel 4's Labyrinth, an adaptation of Kate Mosse's best-selling novel of the same name, in which she was again required to wear a corset, a requirement made of her again in her latest ole, which, in one way, sees her career come full circle.

"I started as crew with Johnny, when I first met him I worked in wardrobe, now I'm starring opposite him. Sometimes I stop and think 'sh*t, I won the lottery'."

Her friendship with him means much to her, both personally and professionally, particularly given his extra experience.

"It was great having him there. This show is a big deal, with big money and big networks behind it. When you walk into a room with 20 high-powered producers it's great to know you're walking in with a friend, one who's got your back."

It's understandable that she seeks such support. Her acting apprenticeship was served in front of an audience of millions and it wasn't until she started to shoot Dracula that she felt confident in what she was doing.

And yet, in spite of the depths with which she has been cast, she has emerged. Katie is not one for the future anymore, she is one for the present, although there is some downside.

"People have great difficulty pronouncing my name. I've given up correcting people" she says. I say nothing of the man behind the desk.

Meeting Sebastian Stan. 

This is not an opportunity I ever expected to have, at least not anytime soon. When he was first announced to be a guest at MCM Comic Con (London, May 2019) I had a bunch of people tagging me in the announcement post. Sebastian is an actor that means a lot to me - He’s caring and has struggled with a lot of the same things that I struggle with; from anxiety to depression, and generally being a bit lost in the world. We’ve all seen the posts of him commenting on fan’s posts, giving them advice while simultaneously putting more positivity and support into the world. For this reason, and more, he is incredibly inspiring and important to me. I aspire to be as supportive, caring, loving, goofy and giving as this man. 

So, when he was announced, I knew I had to meet him. For me, it wasn’t an option: I had to. It was simply too important for me not to. 

One thing I had wanted to do before I met him was get a tattoo of the Winter Soldier, however, due to money issues and time, etc, I had never had the opportunity to get one before comic con. Until comic-con. Another opportunity came up when MCM announced that they were having tattoo artists at the convention, and so I booked in with a lovely lady by the name of Laura, from Empire INK in Edinburgh. Thankfully, I managed to save up enough money for the tattoo - Through both selling possessions and saving up money from my day-job. 

She was absolutely lovely and great with communicating the design I had in mind. I wanted something to match the other tattoos on the opposite arm; a portrait, with his signature at the bottom (on my opposite arm I have a Hela portrait). The Bucky tattoo would be on my left inner forearm, covering self-harm scars with something - someone/a character - that means so much to me. Bucky, much like myself, has been through a lot of mental issues. He’s lost, finding his way, but despite all of the issues he’s had? He’s made it through it all, he’s continued fighting despite all of the challenges he’s faced... and that’s something I can remind myself: I can fight and get through the challenges I face. I will survive, and have survived. The significance of this tattoo, and getting Sebastian to sign it, was and is extremely important to me. 

Which leads to the first picture. 

First picture.  So, on the first day of comic-con (the Friday) Sebastian wasn't there. This was the day I booked in for a full-day session for my tattoo. Laura, my artist, was absolutely ecstatic as she’s also a fan of the guy, and was super pumped to find out that Sebastian would be seeing her work. The session lasted for, roughly, seven hours with only one five-minute break for both my artist and I to have something to eat. During the course of the tattoo, the MCM staff came up to view the process of the tattoo; the security were very excited about it, and got the media team to come down to the section of the hall where all of the tattoo artists were. It was all very exciting, talking to them was lovely - They were all so supportive, kind and frequently returned throughout the course of the day to see the process. Alas, the media team turned up and took a few photos: One of which winded up on the MCM social media sites: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. Both Laura and I freaked out, it was getting a lot of attention. 

Second/third picture.  Saturday came around fairly quickly. This was the day where I would try to get my autograph - The day I HAD to get it, as to not disturb the healing process of my tattoo. I was dressed as Wakanda Bucky that day, deciding to cosplay something more comfortable due to both the pain from my arm, the hot weather, and the fact that I couldn’t restrict my arm in tight costumes. 

Before the convention, I had put together a little gift-box for Sebastian to give back to him the love, care and gratitude he gives to his fans. Inside, there was a Winter Soldier book (Civil War) that I had made him; personalised on the inside to, firstly, look like it held Winter Soldier documents which lead on to messages I had collected from fans. All stories about how he had changed their lives for the better, how he had made a positive impact on the world. I included other gifts, too, like a t-shirt (that says ‘Straight Outta Cryo’, much like his ‘Straight Outta Romania’ shirt), some drawings of mine, a Bucky, Nat and Sam tsum-tsum and a little lego figurine of Bucky. 

So, with the box in my arms, I waited for about an hour and a half in the autograph queue. Although I missed his panel, it was worth it, because I knew that if I had attended that I would only spend more time waiting, and less time with my friends later on. 

While waiting in the queue, I was alone and full of anxiety. This was a big moment for me. I’d actually see him. Meet him. Something I’d been waiting for years and years to have the opportunity for. People were trying to snag sneaky pictures of him: going on their friends shoulders just to get a peak of the infamous Seb Stan. 

Eventually, it was my turn to walk up to the table where he was signing. Due to the sheer amount of people that were there, it was very rushed, for they wanted to get through as many people as possible: I knew this going in, and so I’d been going over and over what I’d say to him in my head. With a smile, he greeted me; it was clear that he was tired, having flown in the previous morning and hadn’t stopped working since. Rumour has it he worked through his breaks to continue meeting fans - between the photo-ops, the panels and the signings he must have been really exhausted, with jet-lag on top of that, and so I felt really bad for the guy. 

In brief words I explained my gift to him, and he smiled and let out a laugh upon hearing what the t-shirt said. At the time he didn’t open the box, because it was simply too busy to do so and the convention staff were pushing him to continue  going through as many people as he could. In the panel I had missed, or the panel the next day (I can’t remember which one) I believe he referenced this and said how he wished he could spend more time with us all, and talk to us all properly. I still treasure every second I got to spend with him, though, because as previously stated, it was a moment that is extremely close to heart, and I know a lot of people wouldn’t have had this opportunity (this was also why I gathered fan messages, so that I could give him something from them in-case they never do have this opportunity). 

The convention staff got me to show him what I wanted signed: Most people brought posters, or pop-vinyls, but I showed him my arm and said I’d like my wrist tattooed. He delicately held my hand and arm as he signed it, and then I was on my way once I had thanked him. 

Afterwards, I immediately called up my bestfriend and burst into tears. I had met him. I had thanked him. I had given him a gift and, now, I would have his autograph on me forever, knowing that I have a very personal reminder to myself: I can do this. Whatever ‘this’ is, I can do it. 

Due to the overwhelming emotions I was having, the busy crowds, the heat, and the pain and toll the tattoo session the previous day had caused me, I did have quite a big panic-attack. During this time, I had to go outside and get some fresh air, but my best-friend stayed on the phone with me and calmed me down - I am eternally grateful for his friendship and support, and for moments like these when he helps ground me back to reality. 

This leads on to the next photo; where, once I’d had some fresh air, a drink and some food, I went back inside to get the signature tattooed. Once again, Laura and I freaked out over it, and I told her all about it excitedly as she finished up tattooing the autograph and shading around it. She even went back over the little red star at the top of my wrist, which Seb had signed over. Laura did an amazing job with the tattoo, and worked the signature into it flawlessly. I can’t thank her enough. 

Sunday.  This was the day that my photo-op was booked (that was an entire process of its own. Tickets sold out within 2-3 minutes - I am so, SO thankful that I managed to snag one). Much like the autograph process, the MCM staff were trying to get through as many people as possible, and so the entire thing was very ‘click and go’. Generally, this is the case with photo-ops at conventions - It’s less personal, more of a ‘capture the moment’ type of thing. 

On this day, I was dressed as Black Widow from The Winter Soldier. It wasn’t the best costume I have ever worn, admittedly, but I was excited for my photo-op none the less. My costume broke on the way to the con, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me, and once again I was waiting in a long line for one last moment with Sebastian. 

I knew that he likes Bucky and Natasha’s relationship in the comics, and that he would’ve liked them to be together in the movies. This is a ship that I also sail, along with Stucky, but I thought that being Nat would be a lot better as it’s also something that he enjoys. I actually managed to capture a sneaky video on my phone of me approaching him during the photo-op. They were very strict about no-photos apart from the one you paid for, which I understand, but at the same time, this was too important for me not to try and grab sneaky videos, etc. So I did. Sue me. (Please don’t, I’m going to be a poor student soon). 

As I approached him during the photo-op, he looked a lot less tired, which I was thankful to see. He greeted me with a smile once more, and I showed him my finished tattoo - I kind of stood my ground and spoke to him very briefly before the photo-op was taken. Most people were conveyor belted through their sessions with him, but I was determined to show him the finished product. With a smile and an expression somewhat akin to awe, he said that it was amazing. We soon moved onto talking about what I wanted for the photo-op, and it took a split second for us both to get into position. 

I wanted to look as if we were dancing romantically, as Natasha has a history of ballet. The final photo in the post was my photo-op, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It was a very full-on weekend, but I enjoyed every second of it. 

Thank you MCM for giving me, and others, the opportunity to meet such an amazing man. Thank you Sebastian for flying all the way to London to take the time to meet your fans in England. Thank you Laura, for being an amazing tattoo-artist and for the nerdy talks we had during my tattoo session, and for giving me a piece of work on my art that is very, very treasured to me; and, finally, thank you to all of my friends for supporting and loving me, for continuously encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and to keep on fighting. 

And continue fighting on I will, just like Bucky.

Second Chances & Bloody Nights- Jonawagon Vampire!AU Chapter 7

Summary: Speedwagon arrives at the park to meet Jonathan, unprepared for the romantic evening that is about to be sprung upon him.

Notes: Sorry this chapter’s a little long, I just didn’t feel like breaking it up ^^”

Speedwagon pulled his pocket watch out and double-checked the time as he walked slowly to the park. He still had a few minutes to spare and didn’t want to be rude by arriving too soon. Jonathan had seemed pretty eager about this and Speedwagon would hate to arrive early and spoil the surprise.

Part of him was still anxious to find out what all of this was about. He was glad to finally get some answers, he just wasn’t sure what to expect. Earlier in the evening, he’d felt certain that Jonathan was thinking about leaving him to return to Erina, but then, in the kitchen, he’d sworn he wouldn’t leave Speedwagon with such sincerity and honesty that it made Speedwagon’s heart skip a few beats. The way he stared at Speedwagon and touched him certainly didn’t help matters either…

Speedwagon quickly shook those thoughts from his head. ‘No, no, stop thinkin’ like that! Jonathan just..got a bit too touchy again..no different than usual lately..’

Thinking that way did nothing for the butterflies in his stomach or the flutter of his heart as he remembered how close the two had stood to each other…how the coolness of Jonathan’s hand contrasted against his burning hot cheek…how Jonathan slowly leaned in closer, looking as if he wanted to ki-

“Bloody ‘ell, stop that!” Speedwagon quietly cursed at himself and slapped his cheeks a couple of times with his hands, glad that no one was around to see such a display. “It ain’t like that, so stop thinkin’ ‘bout it like it is!” He took a deep breath to compose himself and looked up at the full moon shining brightly in the sky. It was a calming, sobering sight- to see the moon shining as steadily as ever. He sighed and adjusted his hat slightly, hiding his eyes from the light above as he spoke sternly to himself. “Robert, y’ ‘opeless fool..just accept it ain’t gonna ‘appen. ‘e’s alive and calls y’ ‘is friend..that’s more ‘an enough.”

After taking one more deep breath to calm what remained of his flustered nerves, Speedwagon finished his walk towards the park. He saw Jonathan waiting at the gates for him, the cloak he’d grabbed earlier draped around him and the hood pulled up to hide his face from everyone else. Speedwagon would always recognize him, regardless of what he wore…

“Speedwagon!” Jonathan greeted him with an excited smile.  “I’m so glad you made it- right on time, too.”

Speedwagon smiled back, the joy Jonathan was radiating feeling highly contagious. “Course I made it- it’d be rude t’ keep a gentleman waitin’, right?” He offered with a tip of his hat.

Jonathan chuckled and pulled his hood down after making sure no one else was around to see. “I suppose it would, yes.” He took off the cloak fully, revealing two things: The first was that he had changed into the spare clothes he’d brought with him earlier, now wearing a much nicer white button up shirt, a dark red cravat, black pants, and a pair of polished dress shoes. The second was that the hand which was previously hidden beneath the cloak was holding a small bouquet of beautiful red roses wrapped in white paper. Jonathan held the flowers out towards Speedwagon with a charming smile. “Here, these are for you.”

Speedwagon tried to rationalize what was going on as he took the offered flowers. That fluttering feeling was returning with a vengeance and it was making red bloom across his cheeks despite his best efforts. “Oh, um, thank y’ kindly, Jonathan.” This felt almost like a- no, no, it couldn’t be…

Jonathan opened the gate for Speedwagon with a polite bow and a sweeping gesture of his free hand. “After you, Robert.”

“Thanks…” Speedwagon walked through, his head spinning slightly as it continued trying to rationalize what was going on. Jonathan hardly ever called him by his first name, and he was being EXTRA gentlemanly tonight.

Jonathan followed after him, walking alongside Speedwagon and even being so bold as to slip an arm around Speedwagon’s waist as they walked. He looked down at Speedwagon with an adoring smile, looking him over as if he was appraising a fine piece of artwork. “You look lovely tonight, Robert.”

Speedwagon’s face turned red at that- the remark catching him completely by surprise. “W-Wha’? I-I look the same as ever…”

Jonathan’s smile only grew, the hand around Speedwagon’s waist pulling him ever so much closer to Jonathan’s side. “I know.” The statement was simple, but the true meaning behind it was not lost on Speedwagon: Jonathan was implying that Speedwagon ALWAYS looked lovely.

Speedwagon pulled his hat down to hide his face from Jonathan’s fond gaze. ‘Wow..that’s..what the bloody ‘ell’s goin’ on here? The outfit, the roses, the way ‘e’s ‘oldin’ me..if I didn’ know any better, I’d swear this was a-’

His thoughts came to a screeching halt as Jonathan lead him up a small hill to their destination. Jonathan pulled back the hanging leaves of a weeping willow tree to reveal a small table set for two as if it was at a fancy restaurant: The white-cloth covered table was tiny, barely big enough for two people so it gave off a feeling of intimacy with how close the two chairs were to each other. A covered plate was already waiting on the table, along with a bottle of wine and the proper glasses and silverware. Then, in the middle of the table, there was a single lit candle that provided a tiny bit of additional light other than the bits of moonlight that filtered through the leaves above whenever the wind rustled the branches.

It was, by far, the most romantic thing that Speedwagon had ever seen.

When Jonathan pulled out a chair for him with a smile and a bow of his head, Speedwagon could only move numbly towards it and sit.

It was getting harder and harder to say this wasn’t a date…

~A few minutes before Speedwagon’s arrival~

Jonathan paced nervously by the gate to the park as he waited for Speedwagon’s arrival, running through a mental checklist of everything he’d prepared for the evening and how he had come to obtain it all.

‘Okay, the table is set…’

Jonathan knocked on the small dwelling that he knew quite a few residents of Ogre Street to reside at. Thankfully, one of the men he was looking for was the one to answer the door.

“Mr.Joestar?” Tattoo asked curiously when Jonathan lifted the hood of his cloak briefly to give Tattoo a peek of his face without letting any possible passerby’s see him. “Wha’ brings y’ ‘ere?”

Jonathan smiled nervously. “Sorry to impose, but I could use your help. Kempo Master’s as well, if you are both available.”

Tattoo invited him in with a jerk of his head and Jonathan followed. After Kempo Master was called into the room and any other residents were shooed out of it, Jonathan bashfully explained the gist of what he was looking to do for the evening. The whole time they listened, the two men had knowing smiles on their faces.

When Jonathan finished laying out his plan, Kempo Master nodded in understanding. “That is quite a lot to get done on such short notice.”

Jonathan sighed as he reached into his pocket. “I know, that is why I need your help to make it happen- I know I would not be able to do this on my own.” He pulled out a golden wedding ring from his pocket and held it out towards the other two men. “To help with funds, I would like you to sell this for me. You two may keep whatever money is left over as thanks for your help, as well as an apology for what you went through due to my ‘outburst’ before.”

Tattoo took the ring and stared Jonathan as if he was crazy. “Wha-?! Mr.Joestar, isn’ tha’ your-?”

Jonathan nodded, cutting off Tattoo’s exclamation. “It is. I am afraid it is the only possession I have that is worth much of anything. I wish I did not have to part with it, but, in the end, it is merely a symbolic trinket- the meaning and emotion it represents shall remain in my heart, for all eternity.”

Jonathan looked at the golden band with a fond smile. He would always love Erina, and their wedding would forever remain one of the happiest days of his life. But, in the end, the ring was merely an item. Many did not even exchange rings to prove they loved each other during such ceremonies, it was only the wealthy that did such things as a show of opulence. If doing this would bring more love and happiness into his life, then he was willing to part with the physical item, so long as he kept the emotional weight of it alive in his heart for the rest of his unnatural life.

“……” Kempo Master eyed the ring for a minute before standing up and walking out of the room. He returned a few minutes later with a small table and a pair of chairs. “You may use these for the night- that should help reduce the cost a little.”

Jonathan smiled gratefully as he looked at the small wooden furniture. “It’s perfect. Thank you.”

‘The food should stay warm for at least another ten to fifteen minutes…’

Jonathan looked up from the cutting board he was using when he heard the door nearby open and close. He saw Tattoo entering the kitchen with a wooden box held in one of his large arms.

“Where’d y’ wan’ this, Mr.Joestar?” He asked while shifting the box from one arm to the other.

Jonathan gestured to a spot on the counter beside him. “Right there is fine. Thank you.” Jonathan then returned to slicing up the potatoes he had been working on before Tattoo walked in, trying to mentally recall the recipes he’d looked up to make sure he had everything he would need.

They had managed to find an inn with a kitchen that was willing to let them borrow their cookware and appliances in exchange for a few pounds. Jonathan happily agreed to this (after Tattoo and Kempo Master talked the inn keeper down in price, calling the man a con artist for trying to extort Jonathan out of more money than his time in the kitchen was truly worth) and got to work on the food for Speedwagon’s dinner.

Tattoo looked over the ingredients that Jonathan had already prepared, and the ones he’d been asked to pick up in the box. “You’re really goin’ all-out for ‘im, huh?”

Jonathan smiled softly as he worked, moving the cut parts of the potatoes aside to slice some meat that Tattoo brought him. “I feel that he is well worth it.”

Tattoo eyed him curiously, waiting idly for Kempo Master to return so they could get started on the next part of Jonathan’s plan. “ ‘e means a lot to y’, don’ he?”

Jonathan’s smile turned a touch bashful as he nodded, never taking his eyes off of his work. “He does. Speedwagon is…quite special. I honestly do not know what would have become of me if not for him..several times over, in fact..I want to make everything as perfect for tonight as possible. He deserves nothing less.”

Tattoo seemed pleased by that answer as he clapped a hand against Jonathan’s back with a grin. “Y’ should tell ‘im that- bet it’d ‘elp your case a bit.”

Jonathan smiled back at the other man, careful not to cut himself with the knife. “I shall keep that in mind.”

‘And the flowers look perfect…’

Jonathan lagged behind Tattoo and Kempo Master as the three headed to the park with their provisions for the night. Kempo Master carried the small box of silverware and other items for the table. Tattoo, being the strongest next to Jonathan himself, carried the table and chairs with ease. Jonathan carried the covered dinner plate, excited and hopeful about what was to come of it.

On their way to the park, Jonathan spotted a young girl out selling flowers from a cart. While Jonathan was slightly saddened to see a girl no older than ten or eleven out on her own at night trying to earn money, he was also struck with an idea.

Walking over to the young girl, Jonathan offered a polite bow of his head. “Pardon me, my lady, but would you happen to have any roses?”

The girl nodded eagerly, clearly excited to have a customer. “Uh huh! Would y’ like red or white, mistah?”

“The red, please.” Jonathan answered as he reached into his pocket and pulled out the remaining money he had for the night. Because of Kempo Master’s resourcefulness with the table and the way the two men had bartered with the innkeeper, Jonathan had plenty of money to spare for a gift.

After wrapping the flowers in a white piece of paper to make sure the thorns wouldn’t prick him, the girl handed the small bouquet of beautiful red roses to Jonathan. “Here y’ go, sir!”

“Thank you very much.” Jonathan smiled down at her and handed her plenty of money to cover the flowers, as well as a little bit extra. “Please, do keep the change and be sure to buy yourself something warm to drink tonight.”

The girl took the money and bowed her head gratefully. “Wow! I will! Thanks, mistah!”

Jonathan jogged a little to catch up to the other two, who had stopped to wait for him with knowing grins on both of their faces. “Sorry, I just-”

Tattoo waved his apology off casually with the hand that was balancing the chairs. “I’s fine, Mr.Joestar.”

Kempo Master nodded his agreement, apparently trying not to laugh at Jonathan’s bashful expression. “It was a good call- Speedwagon likes roses.”

Jonathan looked back up from the small bouquet. “Really? I had no idea.”

Tattoo shrugged as they resumed walking to the park. “Eh, ‘e don’ really bring it up. Gotta look tough when y’ live like we ‘ave. Every now an’ then, though, we’d catch ‘im stoppin’ t’ look at some or pickin’ up one someone dropped t’ stick in ‘is suit or ‘is ‘at.”

Jonathan couldn’t help but smile at the thought. He had bought the flowers completely on impulse, not knowing if Speedwagon would like them or not, simply feeling the need to give a token of his affections in a simple and pure way. He was relieved to know his intuition had guided him correctly and he’d found something that Speedwagon would like.

“Okay.” Jonathan took in a deep breath (more out of habit than a need for actual air anymore). “Everything is ready and it’s nearly time. All that is left is to go through with it. No running away. No second guessing myself. I WILL go through with this.”

His enhanced vampire hearing picked up the sound of footsteps approaching and he saw Speedwagon heading his way. Taking one last calming breath to steel his nerves, Jonathan greeted the other man with a smile, ready to put his plan into action.

~Shortly after Speedwagon’s arrival~

Jonathan sat across from Speedwagon at the small table, smiling contently. He gazed fondly while watching the blonde enjoy the meal that Jonathan had painstakingly prepared for him on such short notice. He had offered to hold the roses for Speedwagon as he ate, the two making small talk to ease tension from both parties involved.

“Mmmhh..” Speedwagon made a pleased sound as he ate a bite of the roast duck, quickly cutting himself another piece. “This food’s amazin’, Jojo!”

Jonathan smiled more at the praise, pleased to hear that his hard work was not wasted. “I’m glad you like it. I will admit, I was worried I might mess something up, seeing as it was my first time making something so elaborate.”

Jonathan’s eyes glanced down to the small feast he’d made for the evening: As a starter, he prepared some simple but refreshing cucumber finger sandwiches. Then, for the main course, the roast duck with a savory glaze that Speedwagon was currently enjoying. For the side dishes, a healthy helping of roasted mixed vegetables and potatoes au gratin (the potatoes had been the hardest part to prepare, but he was pleased with how they turned out). Finally, for dessert, after several failed attempts and burned batches, he had managed to make some simple homemade chocolates with various fruit fillings.

“Say, Jojo, I hate t’ be rude an’ ask..but..” Speedwagon swallowed his mouthful and dabbed at the corners of his mouth with a napkin. “Where’d y’ get all this? It couldn’ ‘ve been cheap.”

Jonathan simply shook his head with a calm smile. “The price did not matter to me. I simply sold off something that I…no longer needed.” He reached across the table and carefully brushed a lock of Speedwagon’s long hair behind one of his ears. “Having the chance to treat you in such a way was more than worth the cost- worth more than anything, really.”

Jonathan felt as well as saw the blood rushing to Speedwagon’s cheeks and the tips of his ears. It was a lovely shade of red on him that accentuated his cheekbones as well as the scar across his face in the most adorable way. Part of his mind wanted to run his lips and tongue across those blood-reddened cheeks and Jonathan honestly wasn’t sure which part of him it was, the human or the vampire. Either way, it was becoming harder and harder to resist the urge to simply kiss the beautiful man sitting across from him.

“Y..Y’ don’ ‘ave t’ do stuff like this for me, y’ know..” Speedwagon answered while glancing away from Jonathan’s adoring gaze, bringing the brim of his hat down to cover the sight of those red cheeks from Jonathan’s view. “I’m plenty ‘appy with anythin’ y’ make for me…”

“I know..” Jonathan moved his hand up and slowly tipped Speedwagon’s hat back enough so they could look each other in the eyes again, Jonathan responding to Speedwagon’s flustered and confused expression with a soft smile. “But I wanted to do this for you.” His fingertips trailed down until his hand was tenderly cupping Speedwagon’s cheek, his thumb once again caressing that handsome scar. “I want to do this sort of thing for you more often: I want to sleep with you in my arms every day and wake to see your face every night. I want to cook meals that make you smile and sit and converse with you as you eat them. I want to bring you roses and other small gifts that bring you joy and spoil you any way I can. I want to stay by your side, doing those things, for as long as we both live.”

“J..Jonathan..” He felt Speedwagon’s heartbeat racing through his fingertips, could see the reluctant hope and confusion in his eyes even as his cheeks continued to burn red hot. “Is that..w..wha’ y’ wanted t’ say t’ me t’night..?”

“It is part of it, yes.” Jonathan admitted. He looked towards the flickering flame of the candle. “While you were away, before I was informed of the crash, I came to a rather startling discovery. You see, I took some time to organize and analyze my thoughts and feelings..and..well..I came to the conclusion that..” He took a deep breath, closed his eyes to steel his nerves once more, deciding to bite the metaphorical bullet and say it. He opened his eyes and looked directly into Speedwagon’s own. “I am in love with you, Robert.”

“?!!!” The way that Speedwagon’s eyes widened was almost comical. Jonathan briefly thought of how he hadn’t seen Speedwagon’s eyes in such a state since they’d fought Dio and seen his plethora of bizarre minions and monstrous creatures.

Jonathan smiled and gazed forlornly up at the sky through the moving leaves above them. “It took me so long to realize it, but, once I came to terms with it, it was like a dam burst within me. So many things I had been blind to before suddenly became clear as day. It was a bit terrifying, being so overwhelmed by that strong of a feeling, but it was also so uplifting. I wanted so badly to talk to you about it once you returned home, to open up to you and confess my deepest feelings..but..when I was told that you were dead..I..I lost myself..” He closed his eyes, remembering the bitterness and rage that consumed him. “I was consumed with regret. The thought that I would never get to see your face again was already hard enough, but to know, on top of it, that I never got a chance to tell you how I felt and to think of all the time I foolishly wasted by being blind to my own feelings..well, suffice to say it was far beyond unpleasant. I will admit that, during that time, a large part of me simply wished to give up living- both because I could not bear to go on by myself, and because I wished for a chance to simply be with you once more, even if it was in the afterlife.” He opened his eyes again, catching a passing glimpse of the moon over head. “When you returned, I knew I had to tell you, so as not to make the same mistake should similar misfortune happen again. My nerves got the better of me for a while, I am ashamed to say, which was why I invited you out tonight- I needed a setting which would force me to come clean to you.” He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the world lifted from his chest as he slowly looked back down to see Speedwagon’s face. “It is alright if you do not feel the same, I simply wanted to tell you how I-”

Jonathan froze at what he saw: Speedwagon was looking down at the table in front of him. The brim of his hat had slid down to hide his eyes once more. His lower lip was being held between his teeth and looked like it might start to bleed any moment now. The part that confused and worried Jonathan most, though, were the twin trails of tears shining wetly down Speedwagon’s face. Speedwagon mumbled something that Jonathan didn’t quite catch.

“What? Robert, I don’t understand, did I say something wro-” Jonathan was beyond worried now, but, before he had a chance to finish his question, Speedwagon stood up, knocking away Jonathan’s hand in the process and slamming both hands down on the table.

“Yes!” Speedwagon yelled, his voice raw and hurt and Jonathan couldn’t understand WHY. “Wha’ kind o’ sick joke are y’ playin’ at?! Who put y’ up to it?! Bet it was Tattoo and Kempo Master! Well, t’ ‘ell with the lot o’ y’!”

Speedwagon turned to leave, but Jonathan grabbed his arm, preventing him from doing so. “Wait! Robert, please, I don’t understand: What do Tattoo and Kempo Master have to do with this? Why would you think this is a joke?”

Speedwagon snatched his arm away, but didn’t move to leave again. “Oh please, this ‘as their stench all over it.” He hooked a thumb over his shoulder in the general direction of the table. “The cloth ‘ides it, but I KNOW that’s the table from their flat.” He moved his arm back around, his fists clenching at his sides. “Then there’s the roses- they’re the only ones that know I like the bloody flowers.” His arms came up, wrapping around and holding himself as if he was about to fall apart. “And..they’re the only ones..that’d know ‘ow badly I wanted t’ ‘ear those words from you…” His shoulders trembled and Jonathan could hear the sob in his voice. “It..I’s not fair, damn it! They knew I loved y’ since the day we met..an..an’ they still..god damn it, why’d y’ go along with somethin’ like that?!”

Jonathan’s eyes softened in understanding and he moved closer, wrapping his own arms around Speedwagon. His hands gently rested atop Speedwagon’s own and his forehead pressed tenderly to the back of the blonde’s golden locks. “Robert..nobody made me go along with anything. I will admit that Tattoo and Kempo Master helped me set everything up for the night, but I was the one who went to them for help because I wanted tonight to be perfect for you. Kempo Master allowed me to borrow the table, and I picked the roses out myself- though they did tell me about your preference for them afterwards.” He felt Speedwagon trembling in his arms and held him closer. “Besides, do you really think they would do something so cruel to you? They are your friends and they agreed to help me tonight because they care about your happiness.” He gently kissed the back of the other’s head, his tone of voice equally as gentle. “What’s more, do you truly believe that I, of all people, would do such a thing?”

Speedwagon’s response was a sniffle and a weak, barely audible “No.” He tilted his head further down as he sobbed quietly. “I just..I thought..you’d never..”

“I know.” Jonathan gently turned Speedwagon around in his arms to face him, the shorter man’s face still hidden by his hat and the angle at which his head was tilted “You tried to hide your feelings because you thought there was no way they would ever be reciprocated. That is what you meant years ago, when I returned, about ‘losing me twice already’, isn’t it? You felt you lost me once to Erina, and then again at sea.”

Speedwagon gave the tiniest of nods, his hat unmoving. “I..I jus’..wanted y’ t’ be ‘appy..as long as I could be with y’ in some way..I’d ‘ve been ‘appy, long as you were, too..I knew Erina’d be better for y’ than someone like me could ever be..”

Jonathan reached one hand up and felt his way to Speedwagon’s face, gently wiping his tears away. “You give yourself far too little credit, Robert. You are an amazing person- you’re kind, compassionate, clever, strong, brave, and loyal like no other man could ever hope to be. You’re the man that I love with all of my heart.” He offered a small smile down at the other man, even if he couldn’t see it. “I pray that, despite everything I have put you through, that I am still a man that you do- or, eventually could- love, as well?”

Speedwagon didn’t answer for a minute, sniffling once more before retrieving a handkerchief from his pocket and scrubbing at his face with the white cloth. “God damn you…” He tucked the handkerchief back into his pocket before finally looking up enough to meet Jonathan’s eyes again. His brown eyes were tinged red from his tears and still shimmering wetly with a few remaining ones that threatened to spill any moment. Still, despite the state of his eyes, his smile was as bright as the sun itself. “Course I still love y’, damn it. Think that’d stop after all these years?”

Jonathan gazed at Speedwagon’s smiling face, thinking to himself that if he could see that smile every day for the rest of his life, then he would never miss the sun again. “Forgive me for keeping you waiting so long, then.” He wrapped one arm around Speedwagon’s waist and tipped his head back slightly with the other, leaning closer. “May I offer you a token of both my sincerest apologies, as well as my ever growing affection?”

Speedwagon failed to suppress a snort and a laugh at Jonathan’s choice of words, his smile growing into a full-blown grin. “That’s the nicest way I’ve EVER been asked for a kiss in me life. And, yes, you may, or I’ll be forced to do it meself.” His cheeks turned the tiniest bit red as he spoke, but he still never looked away from Jonathan’s eyes.

“Well, it would be rather rude to do that now, wouldn’t it?” Jonathan tilted his head down and pressed his chilled lips to Speedwagon’s warm ones, finally fulfilling both of their desires in one simple motion.

The kiss was beyond amazing. Jonathan felt warmth coursing through him like a spark, reminding him briefly of how it felt when he could use his hamon, except this was so much more exhilarating. Every spot their bodies touched felt like it was conducting electricity right into Jonathan’s very being, making him long for more.

The gentle kiss soon changed from closed-mouth and chaste, to something much more passionate as the two apparently tried to put several years’ worth of feelings into one action- and it seemed to be working. Jonathan’s tongue swept out along Speedwagon’s lips, silently asking for entry. Speedwagon eagerly opened his mouth to Jonathan’s questing tongue and moaned softly into the kiss as Jonathan explored every inch of his lover’s mouth. They clung to each other desperately, almost afraid to let go and end the moment.

Alas, all good things eventually come to an end. This end came in the form of Speedwagon’s legs growing weak and his breath running short- just because Jonathan didn’t need to breathe, didn’t mean Speedwagon had the same luxury.

Speedwagon broke the kiss first, pulling away just enough to rapidly intake the oxygen he needed to continue living while still staying pressed flush against Jonathan. “Ah..hah..bloody ‘ell..think that’s the..the first time..I’ve LITERALLY been kissed breathless..”

Jonathan tried to look apologetic, he really did, but it was hard to do so when he couldn’t stop smiling. “I suppose I shall have to practice until I learn to leave you breathless in far better ways, won’t I?”

Speedwagon chuckled and lightly slapped Jonathan’s shoulder, practically grinning from ear to ear. “Never would’ve pegged y’ for such a cheeky flirt.”

Jonathan winked with the slightest bit of a teasing smirk. “I prefer the term ‘hopeless romantic’. And I’m afraid you will simply have to get used to it, as I do not plan on stopping such behavior anytime soon.”

Speedwagon laughed and wrapped his arms around Jonathan’s neck, pressing their foreheads together. “Oh well, can’t say I’ll complain ‘bout it TOO much…’course, if me mouth was occupied, it’d be a bit easier t’ do so.”

Jonathan chuckled, catching onto what Speedwagon meant, and wrapped both of his arms around the smaller man’s waist. “I believe I can assist in that matter.”

And with that the two were locked in yet another kiss. It felt just as wonderful as the first, as it held the promise of many more to come in the years that would follow.

“I love you, Jonathan.” Speedwagon sighed between kisses.

“I love you too, Robert.” Jonathan said with a soft smile before sealing their lips together once more.

Ending Notes: Think this’ll be a good place to stop for now, but may revisit this AU later with more chapters :)

-From the Beginning-

[hawberries]

anons!

hello i’m so sorry for falling behind on anons! as always, for a faster response please ask off anon or DM me! ;v;

i’m going to try to keep more on top of anon asks from now on, i promise i am making an effort! as usual, a lot of the questions have been covered in my faq.

Will you be restocking your captive prince book packages?

Would you ever consider selling the captive prince charms and washi tape again? I LOVE THEM and I am no where near where you do cons, I would love to get a few of them for my friends and I <3            

the full bundles will not be restocked! however, a limited amount of leftover washi tape and one re-run of the gold metallic charms will go on sale in november, 1 year after the initial release. the bookmarks and postcard will not be reprinted.

generally speaking, zine bundles are meant to be somewhat exclusive, and i do not keep them in constant stock the way i do the rest of my merch – hence the extended wait as well.

Hi! Wanted to ask your thoughts on ever putting up the artwork of walking all the dog pokemon up on your store as a very wide print? I would certainly buy it!

i removed large prints from my webstore recently as the shipping matrix is difficult to figure out and i was starting to eat the cost of a lot of the postage. i can’t guarantee anything but if i’m able to figure out a more functional shipping system i will be putting the dog pokemon print up! in the meantime, it is on my society6!

the kagehina Beauty and the Beast art is so beautiful- I cannot stop looking at it! :D I can't believe it never occurred to me before that it's basically the perfect AU for them

kageyama: I Am A Monster hinata: you’re just… like… a regular dude, dude kageyama: ??????

and then they became friends and the power of true love friendship turned kageyama back into a normal boy

HI I JUST FOLLOWED CUS I SAW YOUR ART ON OTOYOMEGATARI AND I LOOOOOOOVE THEM!!! BTW HAVE YOU READ THE LATEST FEW CHAPTERS??????

i adore otoyomegatari too!! i am about 3 chapters behind because things have been hectic but i plan to catch up soon >:3

do you think you'd ever make phone cases with your art?

unfortunately not: phone cases are pretty cost-prohibitive to produce and ship on my own, as well as difficult to keep in stock because there’s like eight bazillion different phone models. i do have some of my art on print-on-demand websites like society6.

hi phee!! sorry if you’ve been asked this before, but i always see the little pair damen/laurent keychains at your con tables in your pics and i was just wondering if you’ll ever sell them online? they’re too cute!!

ahh they were a pretty limited run and i’ve got like a scattered handful left, so i don’t think they will ever be sold online, no! for this and that reason, i probably won’t be reprinting them, they were intended to be for friends. the designs are still available in sticker form, though!

Heyyy! I recently saw your eeveelutions+flowers artworks and absolutely loved them!! A friend and I thought of exchanging tattoos of them (since we are both tattoo artists our idea is to tattoo each other without charging) so I'd like to check with you if it's okay for us to do that!

yeah, that’s fine! a lot of people have gotten those pieces tattooed hehe, i wish you guys luck, that’s such a cute tradition! >:3

quick question: do you ever plan on putting up older merch that was on your previous webstore or no?? (specifically the iwaoi bookmark where they sit together) just wondering cuz i lost mine and i wanna buy another!! i hope you have a good day!!

i sold out of that one and i don’t think i can get through another 200 so unfortunately i think that design has to be retired, im so sorry! TT

The Experience of London Film and Comic Con

I will be writing this a blog typestyle. Starting from the beginning of the day and ending up with the journey home. All spelling mistakes are my own and probably has punctuation missing.  I am hoping by writing this it helps sink in or so I have a documented record of what happened for a future purpose. (also I was asked) so the morning was a very early start 3 o'clock wow lol. the train from Derby to London was pleasant either if the steward/stewardess was sick there no freshments/ drinks on the journey there.   so when I arrived at St Pancras international finding which tube was slightly stressful as I get so confused by maps, it's unreal. but I asked for help and they were lovely, telling me where to go and it helped so much as I was a nervous wreck (The first time of many throughout the day)   when I finally arrived at Paddington station, around 8 the beautiful Mags @Magdalena357569 helped me out and find the bus route to Olympia which in its self-was a nice journey going past the Winston Churchill pub with some beautiful flowers on and around the building but I did wonder how they kept them all so vibrate with this heat wave we have experienced. arriving at Olympia was fun even though me and mags had no clue where we were going we arrived near the gold passes entrance and were told to wait there to be moved around to gate H, it was sunny and warm I honestly thought I was going to burn because of that's what I do in the sun.   anyways that was an s shape zigzag thing which took a good half hour before we were moved to gate H. when we actually got into the Olympia who would have guessed more queuing, we picked up our diamond passes which were by the first letter of Surname (There should have been signs!) so we had to queue twice.  when we finally got our David Duchovny Diamond pass we got our day passes scanned and more Zig-Zaging through at least this time it was moving well for a time anyway kept stopping every known and again but never mind. that took another 30 minutes to get through before we actually got into the venue. once in the venue the was a quate little coffee shop over to your right where we met half the hang of ladies that we were going with. once accomplished we no cat Caroline Poole @CarolineRPoole Sam @medicaldoctxr Elaine myself and mags and Elaine's dad  (Who is amazing by the way with a great sense of humor) we went to find David Duchovny signature place and oh boy was that fun. The Olympia if you have never been, is huge and I mean huge the maps available are very misleading. so we worked our way upstairs to find where most of the signatures were being held and guess what no DD so we asked a steward who hadn't a clue so we walked around like lost puppies not having a clue where to go. We walked through to where the photo were being held still no DD we kept asking steward's who hadn't a clue so, in the end, we got very very lost and hot and sweaty.  (There should have been a map to tell you where everything was just saying!. I was told there were maps but I never found them)   after about an hour of looking, (and a Very angry me) we finally found DD signature stand (Finally) we had lost some of our group oops lol. anyway, we were waiting for the queue to get that (Now me sam and Elaine) where I was able to get a copy of Miss subways (OMFG I finally got a copy) the line for the autographs wasn't that long. The actually autograph what a buzz first off I was so nervous, shaking everything but wow what an experience, David talked to me like we actually had a conversation he asked who was the signature so I said, Sarah and he asked with an h now I must have pronounced the h weird because he pronounced h differently to me obviously him in an American accent and me in a British accent or something like that. (later sam told me its because he couldn't get over it was with an h lol) but I was like yes it Sara with an H and we laughed about it.   let me tell you it was a surreal experience actually talking to the man that is your idol. for as long time. he was so nice and his voice was slightly deeper then I was expecting but soothing at the same time. and he was very pleasing to the eye if I don't say so myself.   Then I waited for Sam you had an amazing Brick Photo and he was stunned that it was his dog and he signed it to Samantha from Brick - David Duchovny and omg was she happy we got out of the enclosed both and she was having a meltdown in true sam style. we waited for Elaine and then had to sit down and calm down from our adrenaline rush (one of many).   once we had finally calmed down I needed to go outside. And wouldn't you know it? Me and Sam got lost again (They Need to sell Damn Maps just saying) so we finally got the exit and got stamped and were told we could come back in the same door (Yes i believed the lie)  so we finished up outside to find out we could not go back through the door we came out off and had to go back around to the start gate H bagged searched and stamp recognised with had to do the damn zig-zag thing again (oh the joy) luckily lot fewer people so only took us about 10 mins. we meet back up with Elaine and her dad we got the message that our friend and not so stalked dd on video which was so funny because he didn't realize (some bodyguards they were) so it was becoming near the time for photos (We got lost again) once the photo booth were found we had more queuing and more panicking and more adrenaline pumping through our systems.  and more zig-zag snake things (a regular occurrence) me and Sam were so excited and nervous but it was so fun. I got asked several occasions where I got my bag from and if it was for sale I am sorry guys I did it my self. one in the photo booth square we gave our bags to the photo people and waited for our time to have a photo taken. I was talking to Sam about I would just be happy with a hug all I wanted and then it was my turn.  when he spotted me he was like it Sarah with an h I was like yes it is. he asked how I was, I said I was great and asked him how he was. And we had our photo taken. His arm (Those arms are to die for) around my shoulders (i'm small) has hand touched my X-file tattoo (which at the time i didn't realize) and I put my head on his pectoral muscle/shoulder/neck area it was so warm and amazing (True Fan fic style) when finished I said by and went and waited for Sam and got my photo and bag and left the photo booth area. he was wearing dark jeans grey top black trainers with orange laces. (Wow damn he was hot)   So me and Sam (we lost Elaine)  talked about what happened and he remembered her because of the Brick photo and she tripped on his shoe (only sam) and she doesn't like her photo but in my opinion, she looks amazing. we live streamed (which can be found somewhere on my twitter profile.) to try and calm down and breath and because I promised I would we eventually found Elaine and her Dad and a hotdog stand yay. by this time we realized we had 4 hours to kill (WOW). food eat time to find an exit for some fresh air. we got lost again and if it wasn't for Elaine's dad we would have been lost a long time, we went past some of the best cosplay I have ever seen. I even found the TARDIS which for me as a Doctor Who fan was amazing, there were Daleks and everything including Cybermen cosplay. once done with our outside actives and back in we went in the search for merchandise and we found @underthefloorborads stall with @chimera work and yes i bought one and omg it amazing I also found a pop store with Fox Fricking Mulder (very rare indeed) and I found another beautiful poster for the X-Files and I even got an MSR pillow (no blankets I really want a blanket)  that killed about an hour - two hours looking for everything and getting lost so many times and a damn sight lof of walked we found somewhere to sit down and just rest.   so after this, me and Sam went to the talk and were in the third row I cam to know the Deadpool, Orville, the x-files trailers by heart waiting for David to appear on the screen. and wow what a talk it was so many good questions asked like Gillian question, would he work on other project directing, writing. what genre of work he finds scary or hard. different ways his name been pronounced, and if he had any European work coming up, Insta questions I have one complaint tbh and it's not David's fault but where the talk was placed was horrible and the sound of the questions plus the sound of David was not very clear. so basically the speakers were terrible. but all in all I got some good photo and David made me laugh and he's swearing is so funny and erotic he honestly so nice and sweet and one amazing person in general. I have meet so many people off twitter that was amazing to finally meet people that I have talked to over social media was surreal and amazing. so all together it was a long and exciting day meeting David was a dream come true. he nice and amazing. just an amazing all around person. the con its self-was amazing some amazing stalls. some amazing people met, amazing items being sold and very exciting and fulfilling journey. home-bound well I got my very first uber like that its self is an x-file especially after seeing David it gave me season 10 flashback.  that was nice and pleasant and quite cheap tbh. so i arrived at Paddington subway and had an anxiety attack (joy not) all sorts of stuff going through my head about missing train etc. but once arrived at St Pancras International I seemed to half calmed my self down I was 45 mins early for my train. so I waited and waited and finally got on the train home. I had a table all to myself I'm a lucky girl like that and it kind of hit me but I'm still not fully there even today writing this. i heard one of his song on Spotify and cried because i had actually met him (i think it was tiredness it had been a long day. I got home about home at 10 pm.   so that's

me recall of yesterday thanks for reading. any question just ask me on twitter or tumblr.

Notes: Fahlron and Dorian talk about vallaslin, Dorian discovers something unexpected

Word count: 1938

Quality: Bleh | Readable | Nice 

"Vallasnin?”

“Vallas - lin.”

“Vallas - len?”

“Damn it, Dorian!”

Fahlron threw a frustrated hand up in the air and gave the tevinter mage a disgusted glare from his chair in front of the window.

“Oh, don’t give me that.” Dorian retorted. “Your language makes one’s tongue take so many turns, it should be considered a hazardous activity to even attempt to speak it. I swear I sprained mine the last time you tried to teach me your keeper’s name, look!”

“You asked for that!” moaned the hunter. “And you keep pestering me about it. Fahlron, how do I pronounce this? Fahlron, how do I write that? Falhron, how do I say ‘I wanna take a shit’ in elvhen?” He raised his arms, pointedly looked at himself and then up at Dorian again. “Do I look like a scribe to you?”

“You look exactly like an ill mannered fellow with excellent face bone structure.” came the cheeky answer. “One that also happens to possess knowledge I’m interested in. Wrap yourself in a ribbon and be my early birthday present, won’t you?”

Dorian let the corners of his lips curl into a smile to the elf’s groan and leaned back in his own chair, turning to the next page of the book he was cradling. It was part of the latest order, a gathering of texts exploring elven traditions and the few things known about the Dalish. He had issued orders for anything he could find on the elven right after they had set foot in Skyhold and he was sure his books would be at least protected by the blasted rain- there was not much on wandering elvhen to begin with which allowed traders to overprize the books quite a lot. Yet with a Dalish Inquisitor walking around, practically being a living, willing encyclopedia, what better time to indulge into a new obsession? Feynras had proven herself witty and humorous and was always ready to share and explain should her duties allow it.

Her brother, now. Such a different case Dorian had at first honest to the Maker doubts the two elves were related. Fahlron was snappy and had that glare glued to his face, like he distrusted you and eight generations of your family before you. He was, well, in general, much closer to the common image of the Dalish.

“Val- las- ni-in?” he tried his tongue at it again.

“Vallas - LIN!” came the angered growl from the neighboring chair, receiving a loud hush from the next library corridor for his trouble. Falhron’s ears trembled and lowered a couple of inches, giving him the look of a feral animal ready to pounce.

“Sometimes referred to as blood writing,” Dorian began reading in hopes that the elf would stay where he was and not leap after that poor, unfortunate shusher, “it is what the Dalish call the intricate facial tattoos worn by all adult clan members. The ink used to do so is considered sacred as we confirmed while attempting to trade with dalish merchants in some of the friendlier camps we came upon. The merchants refused to sell us a small portion of it or reveal the correct way to mix it.”

“Did they make it out of that camp alive? Friendly clan.”

“When a Dalish elf comes of age,” Dorian continued, “they prepare to gain the vallaslin by meditating on the gods and the ways of the Dalish, and by purifying the body and the skin. When the time comes, the Keeper of the clan applies the blood writing. This is done in complete silence.  Blood writing is at least in part a religious practice, and there are different designs representing deities in the Elven Pantheon.”

He eyed Fahlron. The elf had turned his attention to the book in his slender hands, a brownish, overused tome about astronomy Dorian knew like the back of his hand. He could make out some of the dark patterns on the hunter’s sharp cheekbones even as he watched him from the side. They curled and turned like vines, overlapping and creating a complex, beautiful net on the man’s forehead and higher cheeks, some lines extending as far as the lobes of his long ears. Hours, Dorian thought, it must have taken hours to complete.

“So. Which deity?”

Fahlron didn’t bat an eyelash away from his book. “Rude.”

“Rude?” repeated Dorian. “If asking was offending, the book would surely mention something. I did pay its weight in gold after all, I do expect it to be quite precise.”

To his surprise- and amusement- the Dalish swirled on his chair, now turning to stare at him face on. Their eyes met and they held each other’s gaze in a mutual fit of stubborness. Then Fahlron gave him a sly grin, lips stretching, and motioned to the leather bound tome with his chin.

“Doesn’t your precise book have diagrams of our blood writing, dear friend? Here.” He motioned to his forehead, brushing a few stray black hair back. “You can see it clearly.”

Dorian flipped a few pages, glancing at the elf’s face in between, pretending to ignore the arrogant curl of his mouth or the spark in those grassy eyes. Not stealing glances of his ears as they twitched slightly or the slope of his nose. Not noticing the curious way the hunter’s upper lip was plusher than the bottom one or how his aroma reminded Dorian of pines and soil and- the altus coughed.

Vallaslin. Yes, of course. There were drawings, masterfully sketched, but none quite fit.

“Now, they don’t seem to have come across your very specific clan.” he pursed his lips. “It is not in here.”

“Good luck getting a refund for that gold of yours.” Falhron tossed his ponytail over a shoulder before turning back to his astronomy journal.

Dorian flipped through the next few pages. He didn’t scowl - no, that would only lead to future wrinkles.

“You’re being an ass today, Fahlron.” he nagged instead. “Careful or our lady Vivienne will come at you wishing to claim back her rightful place in our merry little group.”

“Pfft!” A snort was all he got for an answer but he could see the elf’s cheeks puff out as he lost an inner battle against a smile.

The library was quiet with the gentle sound of scholars copying parchments and writing reports - the midday sun was shining brightly through the thin windows. Comfy on his chair, Dorian leisurely turned to the pages featuring the various entities of the elven pantheon - he had read about them before but hadn’t memorized their names or symbolisms. Dirthamen, Falon‘Din, Mythal. The names shined on the yellow page, written in expert cursive with rich black ink.

“Andruil?” he attempted. “You’re a hunter. The goddess of hunting sounds appropriate if not a tad typical.”

Fahlron gave him a thoughtful nasal sound, neither yes or no.

“Always glad to entertain.” groaned Dorian. “Ok… then. Elgar’nan.”

“The God of Vegeance?”

“Considering you look like you’re about to punch someone in the face twenty four hours a day, it sounds like quite the plausible choice to me.”

“Well, hunting and vegeance. I do not dislike the image you have of me, Dorian.”

“It’s Sylaise.” interrupted a voice near the mage’s chair. making them both jump a little where they sat.

“Feynras!” hissed Fahlron, glaring daggers at the blond elf now leaning over the altus, staring down at the book in his hands with interest. With her came a thin smell of something nauseously sweet, like decaying flesh.

“What?” she retaliated. “‘Tis only the truth. Can I borrow this book later, Dorian?”

“I can’t believe you-”

“Sylaise?” Dorian found himself staring down at the description of the deity with wide open eyes and a huge grin making his lips twitch. “You serve the goddess of the domestic arts?”

There was a flush on Fahlron’s cheeks now, painting his skin with a deep red. His eyes were shining dangerously as he glared at the pair of them- Dorian couldn’t tell if it was him that was at the end of that murderous stare or the Inquisitor or if the hunter was about to launch himself at both of them at once.

“It was the Keeper’s suggestion.” he hissed venomously through clenched teeth, averting his eyes and glaring at the brownish journal instead. “And mamae- ugh! Mother- I could not go against the traditions!”

“I think his vallaslin fits him perfectly.” The Inquisitor raised her shoulders and tapped a light finger over the passage referring to the goddess before taking a step back and stretching her back.

“If you’ll excuse me, I have quite a heavy bag of freshly picked, still-trying-to-claw-me demon remains for our mages.” She gave her backback a tag. “I’ll be back for the book around nightfall?”

“As long as you don’t let it anywhere near demonic intestines.” Dorian scrunched his nose. “Off you go now - these clothes are brand new and unless you can promise me a new outfit by tomorrow morning, demon stench is renowned for seeping into fabric as fast and persistently as the Fereldan King in a cheese storage. So, shoo.”

Feynras flicked him her tongue. “I’ll bring wine.” she promised before skipping towards the research table.

“Ah, finally.” Dorian laughed. “A lass after my own heart.”

--

Ferv… Fervev- Fervevial! Fahlron tried to concentrate on the unfamiliar letters on the paper. Commonly referred to... as "the Oak," the con… constellation Fervanis-

“So.” he heard the mage’s voice. It foretold of the expression he must have been wearing but Fahlron kept his head down. Creators, if he as much as caught a glimpse of that stupid grin, he would rip that precious moustache of his right off.

Many scholars believe this is a representation of nature... that hark… harkens back to the lore of the early Neromenians-

“Where was I? Ah, but of course. Sylaise.”

Dorian cleared his throat. “As told by Gisharel, Keeper of the Ralaferin clan of the Dalish elves.” he read, his voice over coloured and pompous. “It is Sylaise who gave us fire and taught us how to use it. It is Sylaise who showed us how to heal with herbs and with magic, and how to ease the passage of infants into this world. And again, it is Sylaise who showed us how to spin the fibers of plants into thread and rope. In her youth, it is said that Sylaise stayed at the home-tree to sing and create art while Andruil hunted and played. Her path -”

“Her path is called the Vir Atish'an.” Fahlron cut him. “Her name is invoked before a fire is kindled and after it is quenched. Sylaise is seen as a protector of all who dwell close to a hearth, especially children and is also invoked during marital vows.” The words were not only of Clan Ralaferin - they were of all the Keepers throughout Thedas, on the lips of every Dalish elfling in a camp. He had heard them thousands of time, he had recited them himself another thousand, kneeling before the Goddess with offerings in his hands and the fire burning in front of her, with green grass at his feet or red crumbly leaves or thick, quiet snow.

He should have left. Dread Wolf’s balls, he should have gotten out of there the minute the Tevinter had as much as uttered his mangled version of the word vallaslin. It always came to this, to someone laughing under their breath and giving him the look and he would have to prove himself all over again.

It all was so fucking tiring and he was so very done with it.

CHAPTER 1

Sofia

With everything going on I decided that it would be a good time to take the day off. Things needed to be figured out and I already had a patient who need my full attention. Alex drove me to Seungri’s house where there were guards at the gate, in the yard, and at the main door to the house, Jiyong was not messing around with keeping the injured Seungri safe. I walked in and didn’t see anyone in the living room so I made my way to the master bedroom, I knocked lightly on the door not wanting to wake him if he was sleeping before I walked in. Seungri was indeed sleeping while Jiyong was laying against the headboard with this laptop in his lap.

“Hey, how are you holding up?” I whispered as I slowly walked up to the bed.

“I’m good, just trying to do some work.”

“And my patient, how did he do last night?”

“He hasn’t really woken up, he stirred a little and made some grunting noises but didn’t actually wake up.”

“I see.”

Jiyong watched me with hawk eyes as checked on Seungri’s vitals marking them down on my tablet and then checked the IV drip I had going from last night. His vitals were all stable and he had no fever. I pushed his shirt up to expose his wound and slowly undressed it, I cleaned it while checking to make sure it was healing and didn’t appear to have any signs of infection. I dressed the wound and lowered the shirt before pulling his blanket back up. I was surprised when Seungri’s hand shot up to hold on to mine.

“You know your hands are extremely cold.”

“Sorry about that, comes with the job.”

Seungri let out a little chuck before he winced in pain and put his hand on his stomach. Jiyong tossed his laptop to the side and scooted closer to him with a panicked look in his eyes.

“Seungri you need to be careful, no fast movements or any kind of actions that might put a strain on your stomach. Now that I have you awake, how is your pain? On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being no pain to 10 being the worst pain ever, what would you rate it?”

“I would say it’s about a 5 but was a 7 when I laughed.”

“Ok, now outside of the discomfort from the wound itself do you feel any pain anywhere else or as if your body is hot in one place?”

“No, I feel fine besides you know being stabbed.”

I smiled, happy to see him still joking around even though he was injured and in pain. As I was just going over his options for pain meds Daesung entered the room. He went to Seungri’s side as I talked with Jiyong about the pain meds Seungri was going to get and how much is enough for him. I left the meds on the side of the table before giving Seungri a small hug. I waited out in the living room for the other two guys, things needed to be discussed. Daesung came out first followed by Jiyong and sat on the couch with me. Jiyong looked like he needed sleep but Daesung looked like he was all business.

“Jiyong the bodies of the enemy were handled last night, we searched them for any information but didn’t find anything. They didn’t have any tattoos either that would give away who they belonged to. Now as for the men from our guards, their bodies were moved to cremation house. I am just waiting on your orders as to how you want to compensate the families.”

“Handle it like we normally would, pay for the funeral and give the family the severance pay. Please offer them my deepest sympathies for their loss and let them know if they need anything to please come see us.”

Daesung stood and bowed before walking out to go handle his part of this nightmare. Jiyong slouched in the couch letting his head fall back and a loud sigh escape his lips. He looked as if he has aged so much overnight but a good night's rest might help him.

“Jiyong, if you need some rest I can always come sit with Seungri. You won’t be any use to him if you are exhausted.”

“Thank you for the offer but I will be fine. After you leave I promise to sleep while he is sleeping.”

“You better or I will come back here and put you to sleep myself. I am not opposed to giving you a little shot to help you sleep.”

“I promise.”

“I don’t want to bring up business right now but I need to know what’s going to be done about the money that was taken last night.”

Jiyong put his hands to his face growling into them with all the frustration from last night. I hated seeing him like this and I hated to bring this up but I knew my dad was going to find out soon and that’s a phone call I did not want to go into blind. I needed to know what was going going on so I could be prepared on how to handle it.

“I will put some of my money in to replace what was stolen but I can’t do the whole amount.”

“I can see if I could put an advance of the next shipment.”

“I would appreciate that Sofia.”

“We need to find out who did this, my dad is not going to be happy at all.”

“I know how you feel, I haven’t talked to mine yet.”

Here we both sat children of the mob, we grew up in the dark and deadly world. We both were no stranger to death and wouldn’t bat an eye if we came face to face with the grim reaper, but no matter what we were still a son and daughter needing to prove ourselves. Needing to make our parents proud with everything we did, yet with the events of last night proud is anything but what they would feel. I stood and walked over to Jiyong placing my hand on his shoulder and giving it a squeeze, his hand came up to rest on mine. We both knew how each other felt with this nightmare, out of all the guys Jiyong is the one I felt connected to on a level that none of them would feel.

Seunghyun

“Where is he! I demand to see the owner!”

I stood from my desk when I heard the loud shrills coming from the other side of my office door. I grabbed my gun putting it in my back holster before throwing my jacket on and walking out of my office. There was an older woman shoving my employees and causing a scene in front of the customers. I slowly walked up to her while looking around the room making sure there wasn’t anything funny going on.

“Excuse me ma’am how can I help you?”

“Who do you think you are selling me a fake?”

“I don’t know what you are talking about because I don’t sell counterfeit art here. If you would please follow me back to my office we can calmly discuss your concerns.”

I held my hand out to lead the way back to the office while I apologized to the other customers who had gathered to see what the commotion was about. I shut the office door once she was sitting down and offered her something to drink but she declined still looking very angry.

“Now if you could please explain to me why you are so upset?”

“I bought a painting from you last month, you said it was an original piece and one of a kind! You lied to me, that painting was a fake! In fact, from what I hear I am not the only one who has that painting! Who do you think you are to sell me a fake!”

“Mam, I swear I do not sell fakes here. Who did you hear this from? Every piece of work I sell here comes with a letter of authenticity to prove that it’s an original. Who is this person telling you your painting is a fake because ma’am they would be the ones lying to you not me.”

“I demand a refund of what I paid or I will have my lawyer sue you and I will make sure to tell everyone you are nothing but a con man ripping people off! You won’t ever work in this field again and I will make sure you go to jail!”

The woman stood grabbing her purse and stormed out of my office slamming the door. I cursed lowly before I walked over to my desk to call Daesung.

“Hyung, what’s wrong?”

“We have a problem, a woman just came in here raising hell about a piece of art I sold her. Someone told her it was a fake and now she is demanding a refund or she will get her lawyer involved. I will send you her information, we need to silence her and figure out who told her this. She isn’t someone who would have figured this out on her own, someone had to have told her.”

“I will get right on this hyung don’t worry.”

I hung up the phone feeling myself getting more frustrated. Everyone was on high alert after Seungri being injured. Something didn’t seem right with this and I needed to figure it out. I needed to take my mind off of this and thought maybe hearing from Sofia might make me feel better so I sent her a text.

Seunghyun: How’s your day going?

Sofia: Could be better, how about you?

Seunghyun: I had a problem walk in but we are working on it. Are you going to Seungri’s later?

Sofia: Yes, I want to check his dressings again and check on Jiyong. Jiyong didn’t look so good this morning.

Seunghyun: Want me to pick you up after I get off of work?

Sofia: No it’s ok, Alex will drive me.

Seunghyun: well if you feel like changing your mind just let me know. I miss you.

Sofia: I will

This girl was a tough cookie to get her to bring down her walls. I wanted to show her that she doesn’t have to fear a relationship but she was making it rather difficult. I spent the rest of the night before I went off to Seungri’s going over things and making sure the orders being delivered had extra security on them. We didn’t need any more problems than what we already have.

Sofia

I arrived a little earlier than when the rest of the guys were supposed to show up, the guards were all still stationed in the same spot as before. I entered the house to find the lights off but saw a bit of light coming from under the master bedroom door. I knocked lightly again and opened the door to find the guys right where I left them, but this time Jiyong was curled up under a blanket sleeping while Seungri was sitting up against some pillows with a laptop in his hand. I waved and walked quietly to his side of the bed, Jiyong needed to sleep so I tried to be as quiet as possible. I checked his vitals and recorded them before checking his wound. Everything looked to be healing well so I took his IV out and had him point to the number so I could record his pain. His pain was lower this time and I quietly asked him if he was taking his pain meds and he nodded his head. I checked the bottle to see a few pills missing but not enough to show he was needing them as much as I thought. I gave him a smile and hug before quietly walking out the door. I went in the living room and turned on a small lamp and grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge before going to sit on the couch. I must have dozed off a bit because I was suddenly being poked in the arm by a happy looking Daesung.

“Good evening sleeping beauty, sorry to wake you but I figured you would want to be awake for this.”

I sat up stretching my arms above my head and letting out a yawn, “I didn’t even realize I had fallen asleep. Is Seunghyun here yet?”

“Yeah he is just parking his car, how is Seungri doing?”

“He is doing fine, he looks to be healing well. Jiyong is sleeping, we should let him sleep.”

Seunghyun walked in then and walked over to Daesung and gave him a pat on the back before falling onto the couch next to me letting his head fall onto my shoulder. He nuzzled his head making little baby sounds, I couldn’t help but laugh and bring my hand up to his hair brushing it to the side.

“Aww, did our big boy have a hard day?”

He didn’t say anything but nodded his head before making more noises that a toddler would have and put his arm around my body holding me close to him. This was a side I had yet to see of him but while some people would say it was childish I found it rather cute. Daesung burst out laughing loudly watching his hyung act like a little kid. I tried to shoosh him because Jiyong was sleeping but it was too late and we could hear some talking coming from the master bedroom.

“Sorry nuna, I forgot.”

“Well I suppose he should be awake for this as well.”

We were still waiting on Youngbae to get here and he showed up just in time as Jiyong was slowly helping a still very wounded Seungri out of the room. Youngbae quickly went to the other side of Seungri and helped him walk to the couch, helping him ease back into a comfortable position.

“Seungri what are you doing? You need to be resting, you shouldn’t be up walking more than necessary.”

“I can’t stay in that room forever, I need to get out of there. I will be fine, it’s not like I am running a marathon.”

“Still, you need to be careful.”

“I will.”

I turned my attention to a very sleepy looking Jiyong who was mid yawn.

“How are you feeling, did you get enough sleep?”

“I went right to bed after you left and just now woke up. Don’t worry I will go back to bed after we get this meeting over with.”

“You better or I will make good on what I said earlier.”

He laughed before nodding his head and sitting straight up in his chair.

“I want everyone to tell me what’s been going on since last night, I don’t want any piece left out. Hyung how are things on your end?”

“A rather upset woman came in raising hell about a piece of art I sold her, she is determined it’s a fake and well it is but she wouldn’t have known that on her own. Daesung is handling it since she threatened a lawsuit.”

Jiyong nodded before turning his attention to Daesung, “How are things on your end?”

“They are going fine, the families have all been taken care of and they appreciate everything your family has done for theirs. They have no ill will towards you but do ask that you catch whoever did this. As for the woman causing issues for Seunghyun I am still looking into it.”

“Youngbae, how are things at the hotel?”

“They are fine, we increased security in the hotel and we will be stationing more men on the roofs in the area during any shipments. But Jiyong, all the problems going on lately don’t you find it odd that they are all happening to close to each other? It feels like they are connected.”

“Yeah I agree, they do feel connected. I want everyone to be on alert for anything suspicious, if you hear or see anything I want to hear about it.”

None of the guys wanted to stay too late knowing both Jiyong and Seungri needed their rest. Youngbae and Daesung got up helping Seungri back to the bed. I stood and grabbed my bag before walking to the door but was stopped by Seunghyun who came up behind me hugging me close to him and nuzzling his face in my neck.

“Seunghyun is everything ok?”

“Yeah everything is fine, just let me hold you for a second.”

I dropped my bag to the ground and turned around in his arms putting my hands around his neck and standing on my tippy toes. I knew the scare with Seungri probably put him on edge along with everything else going on, he probably was just craving some kind of comfort and I was more than happy to give it to him. I didn’t want to admit it but I was needing some comfort as well. I kissed his cheek before pulling away and grabbing my bag heading towards the car. Once I got home I dropped onto my bed falling right to sleep.

I must have been more stressed then I thought because I normally would have woken up earlier in the day but Alex was basically shaking me awake this morning.

“Sofia wake the hell up!”

“What the hell Alex.”

“Your dad has been calling every 5 minutes and even has been calling my phone. It’s after 10, I have him on hold for a video message.”

“Shit.”

I threw the covers back and ran to the bathroom to splash some water on my face before running my fingers through my hair and pulling it into a bun. I took some deep breaths and left the bathroom rushing to the living room where Alex was standing holding my tablet. I took it from him before taking the video call.

“Sofia I have been trying to reach you for hours, where have you been.”

“Sorry.”

“I heard about what happened the other night, you weren’t there were you?”

“No I was not.”

“I am sorry to hear about the boy, is he doing ok?”

“Yes he is, I have been keeping a close eye on his injury.”

“They are lucky to have you there.”

“Thank you.”

For a brief moment, I thought that maybe this wasn’t going to be such a bad phone call, but the hopeful thoughts were short lived.

“I am very disappointed to hear about this, why didn’t you call me the minute it happened.”

“I didn’t want to call you until I knew everything that had happened.”

“That is fine, but it’s been over 24 hours since the incident and I still had to hear this from someone else.”

“I know and I am sorry.”

“I think it’s time to bring you home and send someone else.”

“NO!” I shouted into the phone and watched my father raise his eyebrow at me raising my voice.

“Watch that pitch young lady.”

“I can handle this, you can’t just take me back right now. I will have this all under control soon enough and will put whoever did this in the ground.”

“Had you been back in the states while this happened I would have all the faith in the world you could deliver on this, but you’re not here you are there. You haven’t been there long enough to know everything and I doubt that little Kwon boy knows what he is doing.”

“I have this! Give me some time to get this under control, if I feel that I can’t do it I will admit my defeat and I will come home.”

“I don’t want you to have to admit your defeat, I want to have faith in you. You are going to be the one to lead this family when your mother and I are gone. If you can’t do this then maybe it’s time I start looking around for a son in law.”

I didn’t even try to mask my dislike for his statement, I was hurt by his words. I had been working to make sure I would never have to give my power over to a man. I closed my eyes and counted to three before opening them.

“I can understand your concern father, but I won’t let it get to that point. I will find out who did this and I will personally end this.”

“I hope so, oh and your mother sends her love.”

I nodded and ended the call before dropping my tablet to the table. Alex walked over taking a seat next to me.

“Alex, put a tail on that woman from the art club.”

“Will do, but Sofia I want to increase the security around you.”

“For the last time no, I don’t want to hear you say that again.”

Alex was about to say something just as my phone went off and I reached for it to see a text from Woo Bin asking me to dinner to talk.

“Alex remind me what Woo Bin is in?”

“Drugs, gambling, politics, and dealing with some hotels but word is he is wanting to expand.”

“I want to think he only wants me to join him to stick it to the Kwons but there has to be more to it.”

“Be careful with him, based on the background check he has been known to get his way. Not just in business but also in his personal life. I have been warned that he isn’t one to say no to, he takes enjoyment in watching people suffer from the sidelines. After interviewing the women it’s safe to say he operates the same way in his work and in his personal life, he tries to charm his way in and then makes his move but if he is denied he wastes no time in making the people suffer. The women said that he has never laid a hand on them, instead he would attack those they cared about making them watch their loved ones suffer or even die. But as long as they went along with what he wants he would spoil them buying lavish things and taking them on dream vacations. I don’t think it’s a good idea to have any more to do with him.”

“If he is looking into buying up property to expand his hotel business then maybe the reason he needs me is to get the financial backing to do what he wants.”

“That could be true but we won’t know for sure because you won’t be talking to him anymore will you?”

“God Alex you are starting to sound like Seunghyun.”

“Well the man makes sense now, before I thought it was maybe just jealousy but now things make sense.”

I rolled my eyes as I looked at his text, I needed to know if Woo Bin was behind this. I quickly typed out a reply agreeing to his dinner date. He responded quickly with a place and time to meet him and I told Alex when to be ready. I called to check on Seungri and Jiyong before answering emails from patients. I tried to keep my mind off the dinner tonight so that I would go into it without being stressed, but something at the back of my head kept screaming at me to cancel it and not go. I pushed that bit out of my head because I needed to do this, I needed proof on if Woo Bin was behind all this. Figuring out my outfit for tonight was a way to distract myself, I didn’t want to go looking too professional but at the same time I didn’t want to go in there looking too comfortable or send him the wrong message. I decided on royal blue dress and a black blazer, normally I would have paired the dress with a garter that I could hide a knife or two in plus a gun holster. With Woo Bin being the person he was I figured a gun holster might be too much and just stuck with a small knife.

The time eventually came and Alex the whole way to the restaurant was trying to talk me out of going and even threatened to call Seunghyun. I just rolled my eyes and ignored him, I knew he was just worried but it’s not like he could do much in a crowded restaurant. When we pulled up Alex waited for the valet as I walked in and was stopped by two men who I assumed were with Woo Bin. They patted me down but didn’t get the knife I had on my inner thigh. They escorted me the rest of the way to the restaurant and it was then I realized I may have made a mistake. The place was completely empty except for Woo Bin and his guards. I felt the prickles of anxiety start to move slowly about my body as I tried to scan the room without giving it away. There were men at every entry point and even though I couldn’t see it I knew they were armed. When we reached the table Woo Bin stood and took my hand lifting it to his lips and kissed it before pulling out my chair.

“Sofia, I am so happy you took me up on my invitation, and may I say you look absolutely ravishing tonight.”

“Thank you, you look handsome yourself.”

“Why thank you, I really was starting to wonder about you as I haven’t seen you around your office lately. Is everything ok?”

“Yes everything is fine, I just needed some time to myself.”

“I can understand it’s not easy being a part of this life, especially when you are on your own in a foreign place. But things could be easier if you allowed me to help you.”

“And how would you help me? I have all the help I need with the Kwons.”

Woo Bin scoffed and rolled his eyes, “The Kwons are only causing you problems. They won’t make good on their end of your partnership just mark my words. Let them go and come to me, we can achieve so much together.”

“Like your hotel business?”

“I see someone did some homework, but yes my hotel business. I do need a financial partner on this endeavor and I feel like you would be the perfect one. This would be beneficial for both of us and it doesn’t always have to be about business.”

He slowly moved his hand towards mine taking it and holding it in both his while he grinned at me, “I am a generous man not only in business but in personal matters, I only need a chance to prove it.”

I pulled my hand away while trying not to show my disgust for him, I once thought the man was charming and thought we could be friends. I no longer saw him like that, now I saw him for who he truly was, a low life slime ball.

“While I appreciate the offer but it would be in poor taste if I ended things with the Kwons and moved on to their rivals.”

“You don’t even need to worry about that, I would handle that for you. Like I said the Kwons will only cause you more problems than they already have. Come to me and join me, I offer not only good business but so much more, with our families joined together we would be unstoppable! You must be getting a lot of pressure from home with all the issues you are running into. Allow me to alleviate some of that pressure, the promise of a husband who is no stranger to this life might make your father a little happier.”

I couldn’t hold back my annoyance and anger any longer. I allowed the mask to drop briefly showing him my feelings while I clenched the napkin on the table. He knew he struck a nerve by the little smirk he gave me, I wanted to slap that smirk right off his face but held myself together.

“I do thank you for the offer and I appreciate everything you are promising but I would not feel comfortable cutting ties and ending a partnership I am already involved in. If there is nothing more to discuss I should be leaving.”

I stood up from the table and turned to leave when he stood and walked in front of me taking my hand.

“Sofia the offer will be good for 48 hours, you have until then to come to me.”

With that he kissed my hand and had one of his men escort me out. I calmly walked to the door where Alex stood outside looking pissed because they wouldn’t allow him entry.

“Damn it Sofia, I knew this was a bad idea!”

“Let’s just go home.”

When we arrived I slowly made my way to my door feeling as if my legs were going to give out on me. After the dinner I was even more sure that Woo Bin was behind this but still didn’t have what I needed to prove it. When I reached my door I was met with a very pissed off looking Seunghyun.

“What the hell Sofia!”

“What are you doing here?”

“Alex called me and told me about your stupid plan, are you fucking crazy!”

“Move aside and let me unlock the door.”

I unlocked the door and walked in with him following behind me. I took my jacket off throwing it on a chair before making my way to my bedroom needing to take my dress off and find something relaxing. I was trying to undo my zipper on the back of my dress but couldn’t get it with how shaky my hands were. I heard Seunghyun sigh before I felt his hands pushing mine away and undoing it for me.

“Thank you.”

“Look at you, your hands are shaking so much you can’t even do this. Do you realize how worried I was when Alex called me? I wanted to rush right over to him and bust my way in to get you out of there.”

I shimmed the dress off and grabbed my long t-shirt out of the drawer pulling it on over my head. I turned around to face him and tried to give him a big smile but failed and I just looked down towards my leg before I undid the garter placing it and the knife on my dresser.

“At least you had some kind of protection, but a knife would have done nothing for you.”

“I know. What do you want me to say? Yeah, I was fucking stupid and I made a mistake! The second I walked in there and noticed I was alone with him and his guards I knew I fucked up big time! But what do you want me to do about it, it’s over and done with!”

I was trying to stay calm but my emotions were starting to take over and by the time I was done I was yelling in his face.

“You could have gotten yourself hurt or killed in there!”

“I know that and I am sorry, how many more times do you want me to say that? It was a stupid plan but I made it out of there alive and I didn’t let him see the fear in my eyes. I wanted to run out of there right away with how scared I was. I was alone and didn’t have Alex with me and I was out numbered, there are you happy! I admit it, that situation scarred me because I wouldn’t have been able to handle it on my own!”

The anger inside me fueled by my embarrassment and fear allowed the dam of hot wet tears to start falling down my face. I was scared and at that point I needed Alex or Seunghyun with me, all their promises of protection were what I needed but my stupid ego had me walking into that restaurant alone and ill equipped to handle what I was met with.

At the sight of my tears Seunghyun grabbed me pulling me into him and I wrapped my arms around his body letting the tears fall onto his chest dampening his shirt as I clawed at his back needed as much comfort as possible. One hand was in my hair caressing it while the other was rubbing my back trying to calm me.

“Don’t cry, you made it out of there and you got back here safely. I’m sorry for yelling, I didn’t mean to make you cry. But god you had me so worried, all I could think of was how Seungri was hurt and I kept picturing that it was you and not him. I don’t know what I would do if you got hurt, you have no idea how much you mean to me.”

He pulled back enough to look at my face before one of his hands came to brush the tears from my eyes.

“Please don’t ever do something like that again, I can’t lose you.”

“You don’t mean that.”

“I do mean it.”

I didn’t get a chance to say anything else as his lips were already on mine silencing me. I closed my eyes allowing him to take control over everything. I wanted to feel anything besides the fear I had running through me. He slowly lead us to the bed where he helped me scoot far enough up that my head was on the pillows. He only broke the kiss long enough to get my shirt over my head and to pull my panties down before coming back to claim my lips. With his body only slightly covering mine he had enough room to trail his hand from my breast down to my core where he slightly teased my entrance with his finger. He slowly caressed my slit feeling the wetness start to seep its way out before he took a finger and pushed its way in. I moaned into his mouth at the sensation he was causing and felt him smile into my lips. When I was wet enough he pushed another digit in and started to pump them in and out making sure to hit that sweet spot while his thumb made slow circles around my clit. I could feel the pleasure building up in my stomach and I began to meet his fingers on each reentry. His pressure on my clit hardened and I broke the kiss to throw my head back knowing it was only a matter of seconds before that pleasure bloomed throughout my body.

“Don’t stop….I’m so close.”

Seunghyun dropped his head to my chest taking a nipple in his mouth sucking on it before he bit down sending me spiraling out control with pleasure. I clenched down squeezing his fingers as my hips bucked on their own. When I was finally still he pulled his fingers from me and sucked them clean.

“You taste divine.”

“You have too many clothes on.”

“That I do.”

I sat up and helped him undress allowing his member to be free of its confinement. I was moving to get on my knees in hopes to taste him as well but he stopped me.

“As much as I want your sweet lips around me, I need to be inside you more.”

He laid me back down before coming to rest above me with my legs on either side of him and his member at my entrance. He claimed my lips once again as he slowly slid inside me filling me up until he couldn’t go any further. My legs went around him trying to keep him close as my hands went into his hair while we kissed. When we broke to allow us both to breath he began to slowly rock into me. I gazed up into his eyes and watched as they sparkled with what I thought could have been love but I knew it wasn’t possible. One of his hands went to my ass to hold onto it as he began to pick up his pace both of us starting to pant and moan, the hands I had in his hair slowly made their way down his arm leaving angry red marks from the trail my nails made. His eyes shut as he let out a growl mixed with a hiss. While he was still inside me he moved so he was sitting on his legs allowing for a different angle of penetration, both of his hands on my hips lifting them lightly as he drilled into me. I felt that warm sensation slowly building up inside again and knew he was close by how his movements were becoming more erratic. I trailed one of my hands to my breast to knead it and tug on my nipple hoping to help myself cum.

“Fuck you look sexy when you play with yourself. Keep doing that baby I am so close.”

“Me too.”

I tugged hard on my nipple and pulled it causing myself to let loose and cum. Like a domino effect my orgasm tightening around him brought on his own and he let out a growl as his hold tightened on my hips and he came undone inside.

Seunghyun fell forward hunching over me gasping for air as beads of sweat slowly dripped from his face. I couldn’t help but reach my hand up and brush some of the sweaty hair from his eyes which made him look down at me with such a loving gaze that I had to look away.

“Don’t look away.”

“We should clean up, it’s getting late.”

Seunghyun got off me getting up from the bed to go to my bathroom and grab a wet towel coming back to help me clean off. As I was putting my shirt back on Seunghyun put his boxers on and went into the kitchen coming back with some water and shutting off the light drenching the room in darkness. I crawled into bed and felt the dip in the bed just before being pulled to him so I could rest my head on his chest.

“You don’t have to be scared baby, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“I know.”

“That goes for me too, I won’t hurt you.”

“Good night Seunghyun.”

“Good night Sofia.”

I closed my eyes and listened to his heartbeat and let the rise of his chest lull me to sleep as I had hoped what he said was true, that he wouldn’t hurt me.

FILENAME: EMO_OSR_DungeonPheromones.ipt Header: Dungeon Pheromone Types I started reading about this when I saw a documenatry on a lamprey infestation of the Great Lakes and how pheromones helped beat them. Developing things that attract females and others that scare them made a push pull plan that helped beat them. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/02/dungeon-pheromone-types.html

Xor In my Xor setting pheromones are a common potion type and often keyed for specific purposes so I wrote up this table of interesting ones. In other settings pheromones and scent based-chemicals could be useful. Planet Psychon would work fine. Druids and animals - pheromones as text As I wrote about along time ago Druids, learning animal languages, can also read animal scents and possibly some skilled hunters might do this to a lesser degree. Scent marks are like writing for animals or at least graffiti. A fluent animal scent reader can identify the gender and health of a scent maker and can tell if it is a dominant pack member, how big its territory is and how often it patrols. It can be annoying that your cat-man follower rubs himself on every door frame and pisses briefly at every intersection, but they sure know when they come across their own or others' scents, which can be handy. Goblins could be pheromones sensitives They leave territorial scents and even barracks might be scented for goblin caste or status. When a goblin tribe reaches a certain size the chief develops more HD and his immediate elite followers grow bigger. Possibly this causes hobgoblins and bugbears develop, or pheromones in a concentration cause goblins to become cannibals and then morph into new forms. Goblin creches might release a calming effect to stop cannibalism. Goblin tunnels might have chemical trails marked for long trecks and trade routes. A well traveled trail feels safe. A weak one-way trail scares goblins as it might be a monster lair. Concentrations of goblins might effect their aggression or reproductive pheromones. Some pheromones might trigger mutations or adaptions to new environments. When you kill goblins their blood gives off pheromones that warn others, making their women and young retreat and enraging leaders and warriors. Being covered with their blood might make things worse. Elves might manipulate goblin pheromones to enslave them or settle them as barriers between elfland and human lands. Elves might control goblins' aggression and breeding output or use to mutate certain strains. Possibly demons or chaos things might manipulate goblins this way. Bugbears' and hobgoblins' odours might make goblins submissive or wary. Some Common Pheromone Types &

& NecromonesReleased on death makes others afraid (or other species hungry)& CalmingMakes species relax, possibly released when submissive or mothers norsing& TrailLike ants might leave markers, common trails read as safe, one way as risky & TerritorialMark borders of a territory of group or a gender or individual& RoyalLeaders produce scents to command their followers& SexArousing odours or signals to atract mates& SignalModifies behavior typically makes more sexually receptive or defencive& PrimerTrigger physiological developments or mutations or suppress others from breeding& EpideicticTell other females not to lay eggs or breed here& AlarmAlerts group to danger some might be specific like fire, intruder, boss in danger& AggressionMakes colony ready for war, flood, or disaster& AggregationMakes come together for breeding or other purposes& ReleaserAlters behavior for example mother rabbits use to make babies nurse& RecognitionDetect own tribe or detect close kin to avoid inbreeding& MarkingMark some eggs as queen and others as drones or other uses&

Hostile Species use of pheromones Some species use pheromones to disguise themselves and infiltrate a colony Some might alter behavior of a colony for own game Some might use as lures for traps Follow prey trails or set up ambushes on trails Prey may recognise and fear predictor scents Parasites rewire prey to be attracted to predator scents to pass themselves in food chain Physiological Changes From pheromones Plants if alarmed might produce toxins or tannin to make themselves taste bad Mole rat queens suppress puberty in other females so only they breed Colonies might produce specialists like more soldiers or specific workers Pheromone Potions Alchemists might be able to extract pheromones and possibly shamans especially non human ones might be able to make or uses a few types of pheromones. A druid being a shapeshifter would find it easier to create potions based on their first hand knowledge. On Xor or Psychon specialist pheromone potion users would be more common. Some creatures might leave scent trails or musk or urine or feces or organs like glands that easily make potions. Tears, sweat and other fluids might be source of potions. Potions vary in prices from cheap from wild shamen and druids who use them often, but mostly they are rare and expensive. People apply them to themselves or near dungeon air intakes. Scent carries at least 100 yards in a dungeon and becomes intense to recipients to within 30 yards. When applied outdoors the air may carry the scent up to 100 to 300 yards or more but if the air is still or the wrong direction only about 30 yards. Outdoors intense reactions are only 10 yards. Recipients might get a save with milder contact but none with intense dose. Some especially primers need contact. Royal types need to be eaten. Versions that effect animals work on normal size and giant size versions or beast men versions and possibly magical hybrids Potions are highly refined and function differently to natural pheranomes Feel free to replace species rolled with something similar or suitable for environment &

& [end]& [@{choice}] table: AboutInterzone [#{rep} AboutInterzone2] table: AboutInterzone2 Surrounding the great sprawling cities of Sydney and Melbourne are increasingly desolate wastelands. Around the walled cities are the Slumburbs, remains of the old suburbs filled with mostly unemployed and criminal classes. Then there is the Interzone, a semi-controlled space mostly between the electrified razorwire zombie fences and the huge concrete defensive walls protecting the real city. Inside the real city, law is absolute and only those employed by corporations and their spoiled families are permitted. The CBD is a luxury paradise mall megaplex, a playground for the rich that death racers will seldom see unless they make the A-league. Air transport is prefered for most important goods by airship freighters or hypersonic aircraft launch from the urban zone, allowing the rich to never soil themselves or see the poor. & & Interzone is more interesting. A chaotic hive of criminals, corporate agents and lawmen. A maze of cyclone wires, cargo containers, cables, warehouses and garbage. Where shifty deals and black ops are commonplace. Factories and common industrial workers are commonplace. The workers are expendable casuals many who live in the sprawling slums. Many technical staff live in tiny cargo crate apartments or factories dormitories. Managers live in the city. Many who live in the interzone in industrial facilities not allowed within city walls. & & Most of the Interzone is inside superstructure of the walls. The sky is seldom seen. Metal girders, frames, metal walkways and stairs cover walls. Air and drain lids and metal staple ladders are common. Many spaces are poorly lit with areas public gather in are the best. & & Many death races start from such areas. Garages and transport bays for cheap land transport are based within interzone. Bus depots, truck stops, parking garages, auto factories are all based in the Interzone. Some rail lines especially coastal lines and underground trains still function and stations are operated from the Interzone also. Most rail lines in the wasteland have been destroyed by gangs and have been abandoned. These yards and abandoned factories within Interzone are full of gangs and unregulated persons. Occasionally rumours of plague carriers and zombies bring in the clean squads to kill everything but the inhabitants know where to hide. & & Possibly there are ways under the walls in sub tunnels but they are dangerous, with bars, fans, toxic waste, steam and boiling water. Black market dealers can provide temporary false ID. Rumour has it gangs in the abandoned districts might help you for a fee. Corporations can provide temporary passes. If your rich enough or famous with a sponsor you might buy citizenship. Yoy could also lose citizenship if you are broke or contaminated. & & The law operates several huge districts for highway patrols. Plainclothes secured compounds and seized goods take up acres of warehouse space. Customs operate their own district and who gets in and out. Private security corps also have compounds. The military operate forts with barracks and weapons to fight zombies and occasionally corporate security when tax evasion or emergency nationalisation of assets is required. & & While crime and scams and fights do break out in the Interzone no participants want the ultimate force on hand to eliminate all combatants on hand. Elite armed forces, choppers with miniguns and even drones can be called in to end a fight. A few stray pistol shots might be ignored away from a secure point. & & "Now mind your business and don't make any trouble while you're here. Otherwise you might never be let back in or you might never leave" Choice Vehicles & Cars in interzone tend to be new models or refurbished old models and look clean and highly decorated. Scooters and bycycles common for working residents. Police vehichles like patrol cars, interceptors and APCs are common. Unkept filthy wastelander cars are refused entry frequently or admitted temporarily for repairs only. & & Vehicle Arms & Many vehichles well armoured, machine guns and more advanced modern weapons available but in fact almost any weapon can be found in black market or corp or military compounds. & & Weapons of choice & Pistols are common arms among commoners as are knives. Mostly oficial lawmen or security use machine pistols or SMGs or bullpup assault rifles. Tear gas grenaides and other chem agents are frequently employed in riots or cleaning out abandoned areas. & & Food & More modern and international cusine is popular here compared to outsider slumbs. Very little food resembles anything natural food. Most poor eat soylent, algae and yeast based foods with added nutrients. Truckstop diners stock hamburgers and vat grown meat as may riggers reward a cross country haul with a big budget meal. Beer and boxed wine are popular and homebrew and still mad hard liquor popular. Better food is found outside the zone. & & Tech & Mostly clean, modern and working order but rundown increasingly in worker habs and abandoned areas. & & Dress & Uniforms and overalls and high vis work wear are common. Helmets and work goggles, knee pads are common. Heavy protective coats common and bullet proof vests or flack armour common with lawmen. T-shirts and track suits are common casual wear. Fine fashion or feral wear stands out. Abandoned areas are increasingly feral. & & Hair & Short back and sides and shaved heads common with law makers and workers and lice outbreaks in worker housing make clean shaven an advantage. Lots of truckers and older engineers like big beards. Trendy hair or gang cuts stands out. Ferals in the abandoned areas increasingly punk or with dreadlocks. & & Footwear & Industrial work boots and sneakers mostly. endtable: table: InterzoneDistricts Secure Checkpoint - for personel with

All you can drink and smoke party with low entry price put on by union FILENAME: EMO_Pyschon_FlawedUtopias.ipt Header: Flawed Utopias As utopias by definition don't have problems they basically boring. Most of their books read like tour guides and point out moral ideals. Some utopias might be hidden or exclude the unworthy. Such places regard themselves as superior to others and are suspicious of strangers. Some might trade, others might hide. An interloper from outside might bring problems by questioning and clashing with the culture and introducing new ideas. Another problem might be the utopia is under threat from nonutopias outside and need help. Otherwise the more popular option is the utopia is a lie and behind the scenes; cannibalism, murder, monsters or something horrible. Basically this is in fact a dystopia. Many dystopias are obviously hellish and horrible. The dystopia could be a failed utopia, have some kind of questionable philosophy, or literally be operated as a cruel and unfair living hell. These tables are useful for my Planet Psychon or gamma world, but also could be used for isolated space habs or colonies or bunkers in other SF games. A military or scientific base left alone for a long time might adopt utopian style culture too. You could place several of these in an area and watch sparks fly. Adventurers often precipitate a fall or might be used as scapegoats. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/02/d100-flawed-utopias.html

help justify differences and isolation of levels. Locals often have means to bypass these barriers, or they are very experienced at crossing. Possibly a barrier could mark the border between factions, a warzone no mans land, or a neutral area used by all factions. It could justify stylistic and aesthetic variation in a dungeon complex. Any such area not dangerous enough can have wandering monsters also. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/02/d100-dungeon-section-barriers.html

These horrible guys turn up in dungeons and all kinds of places. They are the freaks who make players' stays in prison more memorable. Sometimes they're taken out in public or even trusted with a chore outside. An escaped band is desperate; often the escapees will join bandits or become murder hobos. Convict names stick; usually a name starts as an insult and pretty soon the prison staff records it as a legal name. Some prison governors could be women. In some cases the wife of a governor might take up the contract or a woman might work her way up ranks in prison or government admin.

EMO_OSR_VillageLocations.ipt Header: A-Z Village Location key Village life is lots of fun and a good place for beginning adventurers. I realized my A-Z dungeon key will be handy system for village creation also. This is for rural villages mostly surrounded by woodlands. I would do different one for coastal settlement. Basically roll a random building type and define detail yourself or pick or roll one of the ten examples of each type. Should be able to create lots of villages using this. Most businesses and government have heraldic like painted wooden signs for the mostly illiterate public to find them. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/03/a-z-village-location-key.html

table: Start [@MagicalDungeonEcologies]\n[@Motivations] table: MagicalDungeonEcologies Connected to the dungeon dimension, the dungeon is infinite and self-aware. The dungeon is the belly of a great beast or a colossal mimic creature. The dungeon is a cursed land with boss monsters and artifacts entwined in the self aware curse. A powerful spirit of ghost has control of the dungeon apparatus and exercises influence. The complex is under the control of a deity possibly an underworld or cthonic one. Centuries of murder has brought the dungeon to life with a twisted animus life force. A creature has filled wall cavities and spaces controlling doors and traps and monsters. Secret sub complex exists where behind the scenes monsters work to maintain dungeon. All the creatures are part of a hive mind which directs them and expands the complex. The dungeon is the unconscious dream projection of someone asleep inside an artifact. The dungeon beings are influenced by a fungus demon through visions and hallucinations. The dungeon is full of parasitic brain worms that control dungeon beings linked by pheromones. table: Motivations It seeks to devour interesting things to increase its power and influence. As part of an invasion, the dungeon seeks to [|expand|multiply|infect other dungeons]. It is a sadist that exists to torture inhabitants and entrap new victims. It is protecting a fragment of a deity it seeks to imprison or protect. It seeks to break captives and convert them to it's slaves to build an army. It is a test and is part of a bet between two cosmic beings for entertainment. It traps victims to play with like toys like a monsterous child. It is a creation of demons to torment human kind. It is a great board game played by higher powers or mighty wizards. It is a gourmet and increases its power and vitality by entrapping powerful beings. It's actually a breeding program seeking strong bloodlines by testing and mating monsters and adventurers. It exists to torment trapped outsiders with dreams like freedom, lost loved and unfulfilled desire. FILENAME: EMO_OSR_FaerieMutations.ipt Header: Faerie Mutations Elf taints comes from contact with the fey -- not those elves born to the mortal world but the kind living forever beyond the veil of sight. Such taints are rare but more common on the borders of elfland or to those with a local elf mound or faerie circle. Earthbound elves and other sylvan creatures or goblinoids might carry this taint also. Most people think of elves as beautiful but the faerie world includes both fair and foul. Goblins and banshees are well known but the faerie taint can even include reptilian qualities. Plant and fungal qualities are well known properties. Possibly, being among the first humanoids, they are more closely related to all manner of beings, even the unliving and immaterial spirits of the dawn age. I guess are elves mostly chaotic in most DnD; I just thought of them as higher law we don't understand like lawful-alien. But in LOTFP they are very chaotic and I can now get calling them chaotic. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/05/faerie-mutations.html

In some genres real death is rare like with superheroes. Modern espionage agent probably not. In Cthulhu, if you’re lucky you just die in ignorance. Being resurrected in Cthulhu is not so great. Fantasy and mythology have stranger options and D&D and RuneQuest have always had a few direct options. I could envision a party TPK where they awake in underworld and fight their way back to the land of the living and restore their own lives, which is pretty legendary stuff. When you are killed, hopefully your chums will recover your body and take it to the church for raise dead or at least a sanctified burial in a ghoul/necromancer-free graveyard. Sometimes this does not happen and the party leaves your corpse in a stinking dungeon. Imagine finding fallen friends body in a dungeon a few days later, the joy! You may think being undead and your soul being in heaven presents a difficulty but Egyptians and Tibetans have elaborate theologies of souls where different parts do different things after death. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2013/09/death-is-only-begining-part-one.html elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2013/09/death-is-only-begining-part-two.html

There are so many dungeons here that farmers are always wary of digging up a cursed relic, a lost city or some horrible monster when all they want is turnips. The north is still wild and barbaric but the south has the barrony and a Colony of the Great Empire on the south continent. Both these lands produce knights but others come from far off lands to quest and kill monsters that are hard to find in less horrible lands. A knight is basically a military aristocrat cavalryman who owes fealty to a superior lord all the way up to a king or emperor. Some who come to the Island are fairly exotic. Some weird non human knights also come. Undead knights occasionally roam the land too from when necromancers ruled man thousands of years ago. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/05/d100-knights-of-exile-island.html

//This is designed to provide some petty bosses quickly. This covers level bosses and faction bosses commanding sections of the dungeon usually on behalf a species of humanoid. Humanoids of different types might lead sub faction but not often a tribe. //Humanoids in these tables are made to be variable. You could roll up each dungeon tribal faction and assume leader of same type or chose a few exotic leaders as sub leaders. You could choose humanoids based on levels. Humanoids might dominate a lesser type as slaves (or even human). Leaders of other species might be chosen for increased might or cunning or even diplomacy. Possibly a monster of a different tribe might stage a coup and become absolute ruler but this is trick to maintain. A cheif of another tribe might be a vassal of a king of his own breed running this tribe that was defeated long ago. Evil humans join monsters to get power or because they are outlaws from the human world. Evil demihumans might bring new skills or might be extra cruel which is respected by monsters. //A typical level of a dungeon might have a main humanoid tribe and have a rival species or tribal faction. Some tribes split when they reach a certain size. Some might have a sub faction of a slave species who pay tribute. Occasionally a cult might carve out a niche as a faction. Some cults might unleash undead or other horrors that become a faction. Human cults, criminals or bandits might might settle a first level of a dungeon or deeper.

Village Frog Shop A exotic frog might be seen near any body of water anywhere; possibly magic water attracts or creates magic frogs. Magic frogs might make a good potion ingredient or a quest. Frogs can be hard to catch and are harder to grab than whack as they have slimy skin. When you do catch a frog it starts screaming which sometimes startles a catcher (zero level save or drop) and scares other frogs away. Tadpoles might be about in right time of year. Toads are interchangeable and often less dependent on water if you have too many frog incidents. Lots of slate doorsteps might have a toad who lives under them. Most peasants think frogs and toads are lucky. Old nature cults adore them. The modern high church suspects they serve evil and are evidence of witchcraft. But screw those guys. Frogs rule. Now you will need a frog dealer in every village. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/04/d100-magic-frogs-for-village-frog-shop.html

In the dungeon there are bars where monsters drink and don't fight. My friend went a step further, and in every dungeon was a secret sublevel where monsters changed costumes, helped wounded monsters with healing potions, rested and had secret barracks and taverns. Monters could buy supplies they needed, including mini healing potions in sugar bottles monsters kept in their mouths to save their lives at the last second. His monsters also carried pigs' blood in bladders and sponges to fake injuries. I wouldn't go quite that far or use in every dungeon but a madman's ramblings might make players look for such a secret sub complex. But a monster tavern seems an OK idea that should be seen more. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/05/dungeon-monster-taverns.html

FILENAME: EMO_OSR_OneRoomDungeons.ipt Header: One Room Dungeons So one room dungeons. Not very common and unfortunately have either a whole faction camped or a single great beast. These are often big rooms or chambers or open ruins. You can place them in hexes or just use them when players on their way somewhere. In a dungeon-infested land like my setting players might get distracted by other dungeons on the way somewhere. Most of these are a single open area but with a few niches and sub rooms. They are open plan by design or accident. Of course you could use them as lairs or develop into bigger dungeons. Lots of these are ruined former dungeons because there should be lots of them in a murder hobo economy. They are mostly not profitable based on monster lairs or piles of rubble with possible scrap and petty loot. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2017/06/d100-one-room-dungeons.html

such as a cave or tunnel complex or an ancient bunker or some kind of panic room. Monsters make this a good practice too. Larger settlements include battlements and a secure roof rather than open courtyards. This requirement has limited settlement sizes. Most areas have a local stable population that is isolated but friendly enough to travelers who dont hang around. from Elfmaids and Octopi elfmaidsandoctopi.blogspot.com/2013/05/planet-psychons-settlements.html

Walker Stalker Con NJ 2017

Hey ya’ll! So I’m finally home from WSC NJ and I’m still tired but I’m so excited to tell ya’ll about my weekend because it was so fun! Quick side note: after I post this I’m going to try and finish part 10 of A Casual Affair and get that posted today so I can get back on schedule with that story. But I digress.

P.S. this is sort of doubling as tips in case you are going/thinking about going to a convention of this kind for the first time. This wasn’t my first rodeo so I’ve gained some knowledge that I find useful.

Day 1!

Ok so day 1 we get to the convention center and pick up our badges. Then we had to stand in line outside in the snow for at least 30 minutes to get in. As soon as you walk in there are vendors on either side and in front of you. Luckily there was also a coat check so I didn’t have to carry around my wet heavy coat all day. There was a huge booth doing tattoos the entire weekend. I seriously considered getting one but of course tattoos are expensive and I wanted to shop around first.

I separated from my friends to get my photo op tickets. If you’ve never been to a con with photo ops or you are going to WSC for the first time and doing/considering getting a photo op, you’ll buy it online and then print out the QR codes and turn them in at the photo op table and get tickets which you’ll give to an attendant in the photo op room. Only downside is if you lose the ticket or it gets stolen it cannot be replaced so put the tickets right into your wallet and/or bag. Of course you can purchase photo ops the day of the con but usually they are more expensive plus you run the risk of them getting sold out.

Once I got my photo op tickets I walked through the autograph area. On one side they had actors from Sons of Anarchy plus Scott Wilson (Hershel) and Michael Rooker (Merle.) One the other side they had Tom Payne (Jesus,) Christian Seratos (Rosita,) Michael Cudlitz (Abraham,) and Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha.) Towards the back they had Greg Nicotero, Alanna Masterson (Tara,) Ross Marquand (Aaron,) Jordan Woods-Robinson (Eric,) Khary Payton (Ezekial,) Cooper Andrews (Jerry,) and Austin Amelio (Dwight.) Along the back wall they had the heavy hitters, Chandler Riggs (Carl,) Steven, and JDM.

As soon as I saw Steven’s name I booked it over to his table but his line was super long, which made me really happy, and my photo op with him was at 1PM so I didn’t want to get stuck waiting in line. But he’s so tall that I was able to get a couple of photos of his wonderful face over the crowd. I also got a picture of like half of JDM’s face. Khary and Cooper did a panel so I met my friends there. Unfortunately it started late so I only saw like 10 minutes of it before I had to head over for my photo op with Steven.

His photo op line was pretty long which again made me happy that so many people were there to see him. If you’ve never done one of these photo ops before and are thinking about it just know that it is over super fast. You are in the room with them maybe a total of 30 seconds and your actual photo op lasts less than 10 seconds unless they have to retake the photo. You can’t ask them any questions and the photo op company advises that if you want to do a pose with them or have them hold a prop that you work it out while you’re walking to them. Tbh if you only have the money for either a photo op or an autograph/selfie I would say do the autograph because you can actually get a couple of minutes to talk to them. Anyway, I get in the room. There he is in all his glory, smiling and appearing to be having a great time. I wear glasses and that can cause a glare from the lights so I decided to take my glasses off for my photo ops. So i throw all my shit on the table in the room, hand my ticket over, and before I know it I’m walking towards Steven mother effing Ogg. I wanted to hug him so as I approach I say “Can we do a hug?” He says “Absolutely!” and pulls me into a hug that I think could cure cancer. Honestly, he is a great hugger. He leans his face on my head, I lean my head on his shoulder, and we do the photo. Because it’s so fast I went to pull away immediately and say thank you but he actually HELD me in the hug for a few extra seconds, looked me in the eyes, and said, “Thank you so much, have a great day.” I managed to mumble out, “Thank you, you too.” I honestly left the photo op a changed woman.

You get your photo immediately and as soon as I did I blushed because I look like such a happy moron and I don’t even care. If you do a photo op, GET PLASTIC PHOTO PROTECTORS! If you don’t your photo could get torn or bent. The company will make you pay $10 for an additional print or digital copy and they charge $5 for each photo protector. I found a booth at the convention selling the protectors for $2 but you may be able to get them at the dollar store. Just don’t buy them from the photo op company if you can avoid it. Anyway I had just enough time to go to the bathroom before I had to head back to the photo op line to get my photo with Tom Payne. His line was twice as long as Steven’s so things moved even quicker with him. I didn’t do any special poses but he was very sweet and honestly his eyes are so gorgeous in person. He did give me a bit of a shoulder squeeze before I left though. He is shorter than I thought he would be too. But that is certainly not a bad thing. 

After that I had a couple of hours before I had to get in line for my photo with JDM (!!!) So I met up with my friends and we walked around the convention. There were some cool places. I honestly wanted to spend all my money on everything but held off mostly. There was a replica of the Beyers’ living room from Stranger Things so my friends and I got our picture taken on the couch. Then I decided to meet Ryan Hurst from SOA. His line was short and I only waited like 5 minutes. He was not very talkative but I was also nervous so we just exchanged pleasantries and one of the con volunteers took our photo. He is intimidatingly tall. I don’t think I even came up to his arm pit. But he has such a wonderful smile! The photo turned out really well. 

So after a bit of convincing my friend decided to join me in the JDM photo op. As you can imagine his photo ops were all sold out. On Saturday he started doing photo ops at 4PM and ours started around 6PM and there were still about 50 people in a different line for him. His line moves the fastest. I think the photo op lasted 5 seconds. I was on his left side and he wrapped his arm pretty tight around me (not at all complaining) and I rested my head on his shoulder. He pulled me into a little hug before saying “Thanks, girls” as we left. I was so close to him I could smell the cigarette smoke on him. The photo with him turned out awesome and he was really nice. After that we left. It was still snowing so we just went back to the hotel and drank wine that my friend had snuck in and ordered room service.

Day 2!

On Sunday we got to the con a bit later since my photo ops weren’t until later in the day and we were all hungover from the night before and had a rough time getting up. But I decided that I was definitely going to get Steven’s autograph. As soon as we got there I went right to his line. He was doing his photo op for the day so I walked around a bit and went back a little after 2PM. I waited in his line for about 45 minutes but it was worth every second. Also, while I was waiting JDM wrapped up his autographs for the day and then threw chocolate bars into the crowd. A woman right in front of me caught one. When you get up there when you are getting an autograph, a volunteer takes your name and writes it on a post it so that your name is spelled correctly. They put the post it on whatever you want signed and then you hand it to the celebrity. I decided to get the photo I had taken with him on Saturday signed. When I walked up to him he shook my hand and asked my name. When he saw the photo he grinned and yelled, “Look at how cute we look! Don’t we look cute?!” I laughed and said “Yeah we do.” He wrote “such a cute couple!” on the photo before signing it and taking selfies with me. I wanted to ask him a question but froze up. I honestly would pay infinitely more money than I did to meet him. He was so lovely and warm and welcoming and sweet. If you have the opportunity or have been questioning if you want to meet him or not, DO IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT I PROMISE!!!

The rest of the day was me in photo ops lines for SOA cast. Then we left. We had already checked out of the hotel but were so tired that we went back and luckily they had availability so we stayed the extra day. All in all I had a great time. It was super crowded and the convention center only had 3 bathrooms, 1 of which only had 2 stalls. I think they have outgrown that space but it is also possible that there is no other alternative. I’m not from that area so I don’t know. It seemed a little more organized than the last time I went to a WSC. And the photo op company is definitely better than the one they used to use. If you have the chance to go I’d say go for it. It is expensive if you want to meet any of the cast. But meeting Steven was worth every penny and if he is at the con next year I will definitely meet him again.

So here's my Rhode Island comic con review.

The Good:

There was so many awesome celebrities this year and I liked that the big headliners were kept in the dunk, and others were upstairs.

Meeting Lisa Wilcox, anyone that knows me, knows one of the things I love is Nightmare on Elm Street, so when I saw that she was coming. I was so excited. I went up to her, we talked a little, she asked to see my tattoo and what not. It was awesome

Meeting Meg Foster, another of my favorites is Masters of the Universe, she was also in the most recent jeepers creepers. So meeting Evil Lyn was amazing. I heard stories how awesome she was and she really was. I stood at her table for about 15 minutes just talking about things with her, she hugged me, took several photos with me and kissed me!

The artist vendors were amazing, I wish I had more room in my house for art. I would have gotten so much, from Larry hama to John Cassidy.

The bad:

Let's start off with what I'm most disappointed about. Meeting Dolph Lundgren. He charged 55 bucks, which isn't bad, but also charged 5 dollars to personalize it and 5 dollars for a movie quote. Whatever, fine. But when I got up there to meet him, he shook my hand, thanked me and was high as damn kite. Now, I don't expect all celebrities to make long conversations but damn. The only reason I wasn't super pissed was because my friend let me use his VIP ticket to meet him, so I had very little wait time.

I went both Saturday and Sunday, and Saturday was nuts. The line wrapped all the way around the convention center and once we got in, they made you do a lap around the Dunkin center before being able to head into the main con. Now, while you're in the dunk, there's vendors all around as well as people sell food. It makes for a huge cluster fuck. So much in fact it ruined my husband's experience enough where he didn't come back the second day.

I know these things always have a ton of people but they have to control the flow of people better.
