some funny and some cute moments from this extremely long podcast episode with lou. i watched this because i saw his post with this picture
and he said heâd talk about why he doesnât have a girlfriend and i wanted to find out why. he didnât actually do that, in fact, he basically said âi donât need a girlfriendâ. so thatâs neat.
#i spent 2 HOURS exporting this on photoshop.i literally fell asleep towards the end it took so long#in between some of these clips i left like a little break accidentally. so it blacks out for half a second#it's so hard editing videos at 3am ok i'm sorry#this'll get like 20 notes but this was more of a personal thing i guess#lou ferrigno jr

Dating Rick Sanchez Headcanons
Mostly fluff. Iâm going to ramble a lot because I love him sm
Heâs extremely overprotective and would do absolutely ANYTHING to keep you safe, even if it means putting his own life on the line.
He comes and goes to your house as he pleases. Youâll come home to see him on your couch or stealing your food. Heâll also portal to your house in the middle of the night and get into bed with you without saying anything.
Heâs not huge on pda, heâll have an arm around you on the couch when you guys watch tv with the family and will hold your hand and give you a reassuring squeeze when you get anxious, but he wonât hesitate to get extremely touchy if someone is looking at you wrong.
In private though heâs a hugeee softie and will never let anyone know. If youâre working on something or cooking something in the kitchen heâll come behind you and hug you from behind (you usually donât even know heâs there and he scares the living shit out of you). He loves when you lay on his chest while he plays with your hair until you fall asleep, and in bed heâll pretty much melt into you holding you tightly.
He loves your hair so much. If youâre brushing it heâll stand there admiring you, and he just loves tangling his hands through and and playing with it while you guys cuddle.
You guys always get into the dumbest fights like if pancakes are better than waffles or that he needs to do dishes if he comes to your house and eats your food without cleaning up. They leave you frustrated and Rick pouting like a child for a few hours until you guys kiss and make up.
I think this is canon but heâs actually a really good cook. Once a week you guys make it a habit to cook a homemade meal together to get a short break from the stress of everything and spend quality time together.
If you leave for a trip for work or with friends he will be EXTREMELY clingy the days leading up to the trip because you guys spend so much time together he doesnât know what to do with himself when your gone. (He ends up portaling to your hotel at night because he isnât able to sleep without you)
Kisses you anywhere. On your lips, your forehead, your neck, chest, arms, you name it.
Heâs definitely a bad influence 100%. He will get crazy alien drugs and take them with you, he wonât force them on you but if you donât want to take them heâll be like âcome on baby youâre missing out donât be lameee.â He will also take you to parties on different planets just to get completely shitfaced.
Even though heâs a night owl and stays awake most nights, his favorite time of day is the morning. He loves the intimacy of laying with you just talking about anything without any specific plans for the day, the sun hitting your face just right still sleepy and you playing with his fingers is the most special time for him.
PETNAMES 1000%. He will use the most obnoxious ones as well, usually heâll call you baby, sugar, honey, or a shortened version of your name.
You get along very well with the Smith family, especially Morty which makes Rick sooo happy. Also you help Morty with his homework because Rick sure as hell doesnât, and Morty looks up to you so much and trusts you enough that heâll talk to you about anything he needs to get off his chest.
Omfg writing these are sooooooo much fun if anyone wants me to write more I will cause I have so many more but itâs like 1am and Iâm tired
#rick sanchez x you#rick sanchez#rick sanchez x reader#rick c137#rick and morty#self ship#f/o#f/o community#self shipper#heâs such a cutie omg#I didnât read this over because Iâm half asleep rn so sorry for any spelling errors

When Steveâs parents announced their divorce, Steve told Eddie he loved him. They werenât dating at the time, though Steve thought that the feeling was mutual to at least some extent since Eddie always flirted back with him, but he hadnât been certain.
He had known his parents stopped loving each other years ago. Hell, he didnât know if they had ever truly loved each other, but in any case, Steve knew.
His parents decided to sell the house, to move away from Hawkins with its cursed misfortune and small town gossip, and there was no talk of either of them taking Steve with them. Which, sure, he was grown, he hadnât been part of the conversation at all.
Steve was left at a crossroads on what to do. So, distraught at his change in circumstances, heâd gone straight to Eddieâs and confessed his feelings because he had to know if it was at all possible for anyone to want him the way he wanted them.
Luckily enough for Steve, Eddie did!
The Munsons still had a decent amount left over from the government hush money after everything, so Eddie took his share (Wayne tried to get him to take more since all Wayne had lost was physical possessions and the trailer while Eddie almost lost his life, but Eddie would only agree to a 50/50 split) and together he and Steve threw caution to the wind and found a small place to rent together in one of the new complexes being built as part of the townâs rejuvenation project.
Things were going great. They still visited Wayne, who could now stop working such long hours at the plant and who had moved to a small fixer upper on the outskirts of town. He even moved up the ladder at the plant after some of the higher ups were lost in the âearthquakesâ (R.I.P.), which offered better pay and benefits.
Wayne even started dating again, which Eddie informed Steve of in such a scandalized tone, but Steve could tell that Eddie was happy for his uncle, ribbing the older man when they had stopped by one morning and the man hadnât even been home, stumbling back an hour later with lipstick stains on his shirtâs collar.
(Wayne had told him that he was going to call the cops on them for breaking and entering while he was gone, but there was no heat in it as they set chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, and a steaming cup of coffee before him, having made use of the kitchen while he was out.)
Wayne never introduced any of the women he dated to Eddie and Steve, saying that it wasnât proper to introduce anyone to the kids yet until he was certain that things were serious, never mind that the âkidsâ were well into their 20s now.
(Steve also felt a warmth at being included as a âkidâ of Wayneâs, however, filling a hole in his heart that his parents had left behind, though his mother had recently reached out to him to rekindle their relationship. His father remained radio silent.)
Eventually, however, there was someone Wayne kept seeing repeatedly, someone heâd met while outside of town when he was at some convention for work and her car had broken down outside of his motel room. She hadnât left the motel room until the next morning, and Wayne was certain it was just a single night of passion, butâŚ
They had really hit it off, it seemed, and though Wayne hadnât thought such an amazing and sensualâ(âUncle Wayne! For the love of everything holy, unholy, and whateverâs in-between, please donât say sensual!)âwoman would be interested in him, they exchanged numbers. And then, the day after heâd told her he should be home again from the trip, she called him.
Things only progressed from there, and soon enough there were talks of something committed, of something truly serious, and after a while, Wayne broke the news.
âBoys, my partner is going to be moving back to Hawkins and, while we know itâs a giant leap, we decided to move in together.â
As it turns out, apparently the woman is actually from Hawkins too but had left after the earthquakes tore the town apart, so she is someone that they actually knew. Wayne still wonât tell them who it is, however. He seems a little embarrassed by that, actually, but he also tells them that he is the happiest heâs ever been and he was willing to fight to be with her, so what else can they do but accept that?
They are thus excited for him, excited to finally meet her (again?), and the plan is set that they would have a family dinner together once she was in town. Steve and Eddie are, of course, moderately worried given the whole being queer thing, but Wayne assures them that they will be safe. That Wayne had made damned certain that both his boys would be safe.
(Steve again feels that warmth of belonging to someone, of being loved and cared for and supported in a way heâd never known before.)
And then the day arrives. Steve and Eddie show up early, looking pretty damn spiffy they believe, and help Wayne get the dinner ready, though itâs more like a late lunch really. Eventually, they hear the sounds of tires outside of Wayneâs house.
Wayne, smiling and looking absolutely besotted, moves toward the front door to let his girlfriend in without missing a second. Steve and Eddie hear the door open and close from the kitchen, hear quietly murmured words and what disgustingly sounds like kissing, and then thereâs footsteps andâ
Steve turns around to greet this mysterious woman, a smile on his face, before dropping the bowl of salad in his hands as shock and something very much like horror make itself known to him.
âMOM???!â

au - tim sneaking out of jason's room one night at the manor and accidentally locking eyes with dick who is sneaking out of bruce's room at the exact same time, breakfast is very awkward the next morning
(i did think of having it be jason instead of tim but honestly jason has 0 shame and even less issue outing himself if it means fucking with bruce and, to a lesser extent, dick)
i'm cackling I love these types of things so much. they're so silly. sometimes we deserve mindless crack for these ships. have a *very* low effort ficlet bc this just makes me snort, enjoy <3
Dick closed Bruce's door as quietly as he could. Usually, he didn't have to sneak around when he slept with Bruce. But the temporary room Bruce had given Jason in the manor was just down the hall, and Dick didn't feel like looking Jason in the eye if he walked out of Bruce's bedroom in the morning at the wrong time.
Just because he was pretty sure Jason knew, didn't mean he needed confirmation and confrontation.
Dick had almost caved to staying in bed with Bruce when Bruce tried to pull him back down, but he kept some level of wits about him, prying Bruce's arm off of him and giving him a final kiss on the cheek before heading for the door.
The one thing Dick did allow himself, though, was wearing one of Bruce's shirts instead of his own. It was a size too large on him but smelled safe and comforting. Dick breathed a quiet sigh of relief when the door latched silently. He let go of the handle, turning around to creep off to his own bedroom in another wing.
And found himself staring at another figure.
With all of the lights off and only faint moonlight streaming through the windows, Dick couldn't tell who it was, at first. His reaction was embarrassing no matter who it was, jumping nearly a foot backward and clutching a hand over his chest.
He was a goddamn vigilante. This was just embarrassing.
The other person wasn't nearly as shocked as Dick, but they stood perfectly still, staring with wide eyes that faintly reflected what little light illuminated their face. Dick squinted, leaning forward to see who it was.
"Tim?" Dick hissed, trying to keep his voice to a whisper. Bruce had fallen asleep and if Dick woke him up now, he was never going to get the stubborn bastard back to bed.
Tim, still looking like a deer in headlights, just blinked at Dick.
"What are you doing up this late?" Dick asked. They'd all agreed to take tonight's patrol off, letting Babs, Helena, Dinah, and Zinda handle it in exchange for tackling the massive human trafficking ring in the morning with fresh eyes and cleared heads. The job was the only thing that had gotten Jason to agree to work with them in the first place. Bruce barely managed to strong-arm Jason into sleeping in the manor, with a decent amount of guilting from Alfred.
Jason, who was in the room only a few feet away from Dick. The room that Tim's hand was resting on the doorknob of.
"That's Jason's room," Dick said slowly.
Tim just nodded. "I know." He wasn't whispering like Dick was, but his tone remained impossible to read.
He just saw Dick walk out of Bruce's room. Had he put it together? It was Tim, after all. if he hadn't yet, Dick assumed he only had a couple minutes before it dawned on Tim.
"What were you doing in Jason's room?" Dick frowned. If he focused on Tim, it could keep the focus off of him for as long as possible. Dick tried to ignore how fast his heart was beating.
Tim's expression was hard to make out in the dark. "We were talking about the case." Still, his tone remained entirely neutral.
Too neutral, for Tim.
"At two am?"
"Well, what were you doing?" Tim huffed slightly when he said it, folding his arms over his chest.
He was shirtless, Dick just realized.
Shirtless and coming out of Jason's room.
"I was-" Dick stumbled over his words, choking as he tried to come up with an alibi. "We were talking about the-"
"I already used that excuse, pick your own," Tim deadpanned. Dick was pretty sure he also rolled his eyes. "I've known about you and Bruce for years, you know. You don't have to pretend."
The noise that came out of Dick's throat was almost as mortifying as the realization that not only did Jason likely know, but so did Tim.
"It... okay it has not been years," Dick's face was hot and he was glad it was too dark for Tim to see his blush. "I mean- it's been a while but not years-"
"Whatever you say." Tim shrugged, sounding unconvinced. "There have been feelings between you two for years, close enough for me."
If Dick died, right here, in this hallway in front of Bruce's door, he hoped the cause of death would be put down as homicide instead of natural causes. Because every word from Tim's mouth made another piece of Dick die inside, just a little.
"It's none of your business either way." Dick tried to stand up straight to sound more in control of the situation, clearing his throat.
"Trust me, I don't want it to be my business."
Dick would've laughed, if this was happening to anyone but him.
"What about... you and Jason?" Dick asked carefully.
Tim shifted on his feet. "What about it? I told you, we were talking about the case."
"Right." It was Dick's turn to roll his eyes. "In his bedroom, at two am, without your shirt?"
Tim stared at Dick for a long, torturous moment. A moment that made Dick agree with Tim, about not wanting to know any sordid details.
"I'm going to bed," Tim said suddenly, turning away from Dick. "Goodnight."
Dick had a thousand more questions he wanted to ask. How Tim and Jason even got together, when it happened. Last Dick knew, they could barely stand to be in the same room.
But Tim was walking away at an alarmingly brisk pace and Dick just sighed. He was too tired and mortified about his own secrets to chase Tim down for an impromptu interrogation that would just end up embarrassing them both more.
Maybe it was best for Dick's sanity if he didn't know the specifics.
Dick didn't consider how awkward it would be until he was standing in the kitchen, staring at Jason bent over a cup of coffee.
Did Jason know Dick knew? It didn't seem like he did, but he had always had a good poker face.
When Tim ambled into the kitchen and grabbed overnight oats from the fridge, he didn't even look at Dick. He seemed to be pointedly avoiding it, sitting as far away from Dick as he could at the oversized dining room table.
All while Dick couldn't seem to stop staring.
"Your cereal is going to get soggy," Jason muttered, and it took Dick a moment to realize Jason was talking to him. "At least eat it before trying to explode my head with your mind, or whatever your staring problem is."
"I'm not-" Dick stuttered. he shut himself up with a mouthful of cereal when Cass gave him an odd look.
Would she be able to figure it out just from his body language?
Dick had never fully understood the lengths her ability to read people could go. he looked away from her and stared at a random spot on the table, trying to eat at a normal pace.
Bruce was the last to wander into the kitchen. He squeezed Dick's shoulder as he walked by, making Dick jump. It was an innocent enough touch that no one would question, but all Dick could think about was the brief look from Tim before he quickly averted his eyes again.
The silence around the table was going to eat Dick alive. He started eating cereal faster.
"Oh for fuck's sake," Jason broke the tension, throwing his head back and slamming an empty mug down onto the table. "Everyone knows you two are fucking, alright?" He gestured between Dick and Bruce. "Stop being so goddamn weird about it, you're acting like there's a bomb in the room."
Bruce choked on his coffee. "Jason." He tried to sound reprimanding, but his voice was a few octaves too high.
Dick threw his hands in the air. "I knew you knew about that, but I didn't know about you and Tim until last night so excuse me for feeling a little awkward."
"You didn't know about what?" Bruce nearly yelled, spinning around to face Jason.
"Damnit, Dick!" Tim groaned, putting his head in his hands.
Jason just scoffed, pointing a fork at Bruce. "Oh don't even give me that self-righteous bullshit-"
Their argument went back and forth while Tim just rubbed his temples, muttering to himself and glaring at Dick.
Worst of all, Dick was pretty sure Cass was giggling next to him under her covered mouth.
Dick just sighed and ducked his head, dutifully waiting for the ground to open up and swallow him whole.
So much for his breakfast.

He knows what's wrong
He knows his actions are causing him to deform, although he has no plans in completely stopping. But he's not ready to face it when it really takes ahold of him.
Every cartoon knows that once you've reached the limit, there's no going back. And you will lose every bit of the person you were before.
Good thing he's stuck 24/7 with a weird annoying kid with rainbows inside him. I guess he does have a use

love with zoro is intentional.
it doesnât come easily. heâs as unyielding as his swordsâsteadfast and true. hard lines and sharp edges, heâs deadly when wielded properly. but heâs his own master; he doesnât allow the winds of change to guide him. only of his own volition does he act.
blades hold secrets. theyâve seen and done things that make grown men pale and queasy. theyâre accustomed to harsh conditions, to injuries, to biting words, to carelessness. itâs a delicate balance, maintaining the deadliness and the beauty of a weapon.
but itâs not impossible.
getting to know zoro takes patience and tenderness. prying into the life of a man who has only ever known loneliness and death is difficult. heâs slow to trust and even slower to speak his mind. he has a sharp tongue (so do you), and you each end up with a nick here and a scratch thereânothing that will scar.
you both have to be forthright with your feelings and understand that vulnerability isnât weakness. connection is human. every sword needs a scabbard, every scabbard a sword; perhaps, then, zoro needs you. and you need him.
as a man obsessed with discipline, the messiness of love terrifies zoro. but when he looks at youâthe soft curl of your smile, the curious glint of your eyesâhe knows that it must be worth it. and it will beâ
as long as youâre willing to meet him halfway.
#iâm half-asleep if this doesnât make sense iâm sorry. ugh i love him so bad.#feeling so desperately ill over him right now#zoro x reader#zoro <3

THE PINK ROOM IS STANARRATOR
I HAVE ACTUAL EVIDENCE PLEASE JUST STAY WITH ME
i saw this reddit post
like four days ago and itâs been rotating in my mind so much iâm going insane and i need to talk about it
âwhy do i think the pink room is hinting at stanarratorâ you may be asking
letâs talk about it
1) pink.
color is deeply engrained into TSP. iâm not going to go deep into it now, there was a few posts circulating about it and few months ago tho, but you just need to know that color can often hint at meanings in TSP
PINK IS NO WHERE ELSE IN THE GAME.
the closest we get in the game is red (and a lot of it). thereâs not even pink in the light show in the zen room!!!
something happened in this room that happens no where else in the game.
also: pink is a lovey dovey color. at thereâs a LOT of it. the only non-pink color in the room is the Stanlurine. which iâll also talk about a bit in point 3.
2) apples.
i never thought much of the apple. until now.
apples represent defiance and forbidden knowledge. also fertility? think of Adam and Eve.
the narrator learned something in this room. he learned something he wasnât supposed to know, and the memory may have gotten erased.
but the memory is still there, just not explicitly. (the narrator actually demonstrates a LOT of implicit memories, showing that the knowledge isnât truly erased, just hidden.)
3) figurines.
stanley and the narrator arenât really supposed to be on the same page. theyâre made to rival each other, and the fun of the game is when you (stanley) disobey the narrator
one of the VERY few times the two are working together is the figurines. and the narrator enjoys watching stanley collect them SO MUCH.
the narrator seems to correlate the Stanley-Figs with whatever this pink room represents.
maybe itâs having fun with stanley, or itâs working WITH stanley rather than against him. but all we know is that this room is something good, something the narrator enjoys.
remember what i said in point 1? the Stiggley Wiggleys being the only non-pink thing is the room? yeah. gay.
those pinky feelings are surrounding stanley rather than being stanley. does that make sense?
now, i donât think the Pink Room is where the event took place, but rather a representation of what happened. the narrator canât remember details, so his brain filled in the holes. which thereâs a lot of.
i do think that the memory thatâs manifesting in that room is some type of confession. the narrator is learning that his feelings are reciprocated, that he and stanley are on the same page for ONCE.
and the way the lighting hits the apple so vibrantly makes me think that the whole point of this room is that knowledge, that experience the narrator has forgotten. the pink lovey feelings are just surrounding it.
even when the narrator forgets what he memory means, itâs still so pink. itâs so full of love that itâs literally glowing.
apparently the apple might be a reference to superliminal. fuck you i like that the stanarrator theory more
THE PINK ROOM IS THE STANARRATOR ROOM
thank you for coming to my tedtalk
#worte most of this half asleep but i woke up and finished it#sorry if itâs incomprehensible i havenât proof read#stanarrator#them#tsp#stanley parable#the stanley parable#moth rambles

You should have known better than to date someone you worked with. No, actually, you should have known better than to date, of all people, your boss.
Date was a loose term.
You werenât really sure when the lines between co-workers blurred into friendship and when friendship blossomed into early morning coffee dates and late evenings in the office together doing paperwork, and even later nights spent at dinner tables being hours deep into conversation. You knew it hadnât happened out of nowhere. This thing between the two of you had been building up for years â years of pining.
There was a voice in the back of your head telling you that it was all too good to be true, but you pushed it back as far as you could. Besides, the two of you hadnât even called it dating, but it sure did feel like it.
But it hadnât felt like that in a really long time.
Aaron had put a stop to whatever was going on four months ago. He had given you some bullshit excuse that he was your boss, it was wrong of him to be doing whatever the two of you were doing with his subordinate â blah, blah â but you had stopped listening when your heart became so heavy you thought it was going to physically weigh you down.
You had been through breakups before, even some serious ones, but nothing had ever felt like this.Â
You tried to stop him, but he was also a man who had made his mind up; it was impossible to get through to him that you didnât want to end it.
So you went back to work acting like nothing had happened. And it was about to be the death of you.
However, you were a professional. Itâs not like the team even knew about you and Aaron. You acted the same as always when you were at work. No one suspected anything because no one knew what you were going through.
You didnât talk to Aaron unless you had to. Truthfully, you hadnât spoken to him for anything that wasnât work-related since he basically dumped you on a random Wednesday evening for reasons you couldnât fathom, but that didnât mean you didnât try.
In the beginning, you tried reaching out. You called, you texted him a couple of times, and you had even been so desperate one night that you sent him an email. Each time, you were met with rejection, and him saying something along the lines that both of you should just forget about everything.
So you did by cutting all contact. You thought to yourself, Iâll show him, but it really did nothing. If it bothered him, he never showed it.
It seemed like nothing bothered him until now. A whole whopping four months later.
âNot only did you blow our cover, but you walked into a hostage situation with no weapon to defend yourself; you didnât even strap a vest on. You are lucky that no one died or was seriously injured.â Aaron wasnât yelling â he was actually just slightly an octave below yelling â but it sure as hell sounded like he was screaming because his voice had never been like this towards you.
You frowned, not liking the way he was calling you out in front of everyone â in front of a group of people that you greatly admired and respected. âWhat else was I supposed to do, Hotch? If I hadnât gone in there, that woman would have died. I was trying to save her life.â
âSave her life?â he asked incredulously. âFrom the moment you burst through those doors, you put her in even more danger than she was already in. Not only could she have died, but you also could have.â
âWhy are you giving me so much shit over this?â you asked, throwing your hands up in anger, not paying attention to the awkward glances your team was giving each other. âIâm not the only one who's done this, and I wonât be the last. I donât care to risk my life trying to save someone else. Iâm sorry that I blew everyoneâs cover, but I wonât apologize for saving her.â
Aaron shook his head, his demeanor that was normally unreadable was completely gone. âYouâre on probation, effectively immediately-â
âWhat? I, Hotch-â
âYou will not physically assist in any cases for the next two weeks. You will still travel to cases, but you will work directly from the police department. You will not be allowed to go in the field.â
He kept talking, his mouth moving a mile a minute listing off all the things you were allowed to do and what you couldnât do, but you couldnât focus on anything he was saying. You were so tempted to slap your boss across the face and if it wouldnât have technically been workplace harassment, you probably would have.
âHotch, weâve all made mistakes,â Derek Morgan said. âNo one ended up hurt tonight. With all due respect, I think a two week probation is a little harsh.â
You wanted to thank Derek for sticking up for you, but you couldnât form words at that moment. Your feet were on the move faster than you could even think as they took you to the SUV that youâd arrived in, not wanting to hear Aaron talk to Derek about you. All you wanted to do was get on the jet, leave the small Arkansas town you were in, get back to Quantico, and try to stop thinking about Aaron Hotchner.
Unfortunately, that wasnât as easy as you liked to think.
You rode back to the hotel with Emily and JJ, who had let you sit in the front seat, and didnât dare look either of them in the eye. Emily tried to make small talk to lighten the mood, but you could barely even think about anything other than your probation and the way that Aaron had talked to you in front of everyone. She eventually took the hint, and the three of you rode back to the hotel in silence.
You finally turned to Emily once the SUV came to a stop. âDo you know if weâre leaving tonight or in the morning?â Normally, if you finished a case late, you always preferred to spend the night in the hotel in order to get some rest, but there was nothing you wanted more than to just go home now.
âUh, tonight,â Emily said with a grimace. âSorry, I know you usually hate leaving immediately after.â
You shook your head. âNot this time. I donât think Iâve ever wanted to go home more than I do right now.â
Emily eyed you up and down, taking in your slumped, exhausted body. Her eyes flickered up to the mirror, catching JJâs eye who was giving an equally worried look. âDo you want to talk-â
âNot right now, Emily,â you interrupted. âIâm going to pack my stuff up. Can you send me a text when itâs time to go?â
Emily looked like she wanted to say more, but she didnât, sensing you obviously didnât want to talk about it right now. âYeah, Iâll let you know.â
âThanks,â you mumbled. âSee you guys soon.â With that, you were out of the SUV before either of them could unbuckle their seatbelts and on your way to the entrance of the hotel you were staying in along with the rest of the team.
Typically, you shared a room with someone, but luckily for you, it was your turn to get your own this time, which you couldnât have been more thankful for when you swiped your keycard and finally got to be alone for a minute.
You knew that Emily meant well. She had been one of your closest friends since you had joined the team. You felt a tinge of guilt at how closed off you had been to her in the car when she was just trying to make sure you were okay. However, you really werenât okay, and you really didnât want Emily to know the full extent of what was going on.
After hastily packing your things and grabbing a quick shower, you received a text from Emily that it was time to go. On your way down to the lobby to meet her, it was finally setting in that you were, quite literally, exhausted. Youâd been awake since before daylight and a quick glance at the time shining on your phone reminded you that you had been awake for nearly seventeen hours.
You rode with Emily, JJ, and Rossi to board the jet, but ended up napping the entire short duration of the drive. Truthfully, you hadnât even realized youâd fallen asleep until Rossi had nudged you awake.
When you were finally in the air, you allowed yourself to catch a glance at your infuriating boss who was still, as usual, in his suit with his tie and jacket discarded, writing in a file.
Probably writing me up, you bitterly thought to yourself. You knew you had done a not-very-smart thing, but by the time you figured out that the original plan the team came up with wasnât going to work, it was too late. If you hadnât darted through the door and startled the unsub, the poor woman who was taken hostage was going to meet a very similar fate that four other women faced.
You could admit that it was a rash, last minute decision, but you didnât regret it. You saved a womanâs life and helped capture an awful man who would have never stopped if not caught. It felt like Aaron was punishing you for something that wasnât the decision you made tonight. Two weeks on probation felt a little extreme to you.
Twenty minutes into the flight, Derek, Rossi, and JJ were already asleep while Emily looked like she was close to following. Spencer was nursing what you thought was his second coffee in the short time on the jet, a pair of headphones in as he watched something on the tablet he had propped up.
That left only you and Aaron sitting in silence.
This had been a particularly hard case that had to be solved in under seventy-two hours in order to prevent any more victims since you, with the help of Spencer, figured out that the unsub operated on stalking and kidnapping his victims on a specific schedule. Hardly anyone had gotten much sleep in an attempt to solve the case as soon as possible â hence why nearly everyone was asleep.
Aaron finally spoke after nearly fifty minutes into the flight from his seat in front of you after Emily and Spencer had finally drifted off, though you werenât sure how Spencer was even sleeping considering he had downed two coffees. âYou should get some rest.â
âDonât worry about me,â you said bitterly, keeping your eyes straight ahead. âIâll be getting lots of rest in the next two weeks considering I canât really do anything else on probation, so thanks, but Iâm good.â The words were tumbling out before you could even comprehend what youâd said. In a normal situation, youâd be worried that speaking to your boss like that would result in its own consequences but considering you were already on probation, what was the harm?
He said nothing.
â
It was nine days into what felt like the most excruciatingly long probation known to man, and you still had five more days to go.
You had just gotten back from a case in Maine where you, unfortunately, barely got to do anything other than help out at the police station. In addition, you had to finish several online modules assigned to you by Strauss on safety in the field, which was, in your opinion, ridiculous considering you had been at the BAU for a good amount of time â long enough to know all about safety in the field.
âI think Iâve gone past the point of exhaustion,â Emily said as you came off the elevator as she stifled a yawn. âIs that a real thing?â
âYes, my beautiful friend who I am so happy to see. That means you need to get home and rest.â
Penelope Garcia was there to greet you at the elevator, a warm smile lighting up her face as she gave Emily a hug then turned to you. âHow are you doing?â
âIâll be fine in five days when this stupid probation is over,â you told Penelope, watching her give you a sympathetic smile.
âIâm heading out, but you have my number if you need me,â she told you with a comforting pat to your arm. âGoodnight ladies.â
Penelope was on the elevator to leave as you and Emily, after waving off Penelope, filed off to your desks to pack up to go back to your apartments.
âGot a hot date tonight?â Emily asked jokingly.
You laughed and shook your head. âHavenât had a hot date in a long time. What about you?â
It was true. The last date you had been on was four months ago with the man who also happened to be your boss and who also happened to be your number one enemy right now.
âJust with Sergio.â
You and Emily were already on your way out to leave for the night officially until you stopped in your tracks when you reached the elevator. âUgh, I just realized I left my phone charger at my desk. You can go on without me.â
âYou sure? I donât mind waiting,â she said as she stepped into the elevator.
You nodded. âGo on; itâs late. Have a good night, Emily.â
A huff left your mouth as you turned back on your heel to walk back to your desk. Your hands grasped the charger laying under several files that you (probably) needed to look at, but tonight was not the night for that.
However, you realized it was definitely not your night at all when you tried to turn your car on, only to be met with a sound of spluttering.
âNot tonight,â you groaned, repeatedly trying to turn your key to start the engine, but the car never started, much to your luck. âAre you serious right now?â
Your car was by no means brand new, but it was a good car and not often did it give you problems. Except for tonight. Or in other words, the one night you desperately wanted to go home, take a shower, and go to bed.
You werenât really sure of your options. You could probably call Emily. She couldnât have gotten too far down the road. Maybe she could give you a ride since her apartment was on the way to your place. Another option was calling an Uber, but â
Your car door opening knocked you out of your train of thought. Your brain immediately went into fight-or-flight, and you chose fight as your hands instinctively reached for the pepper spray on your key ring.
âHey! Itâs just me.â
It was Aaron with his hands outstretched into a surrender position, his suit jacket hanging from the crease where his arm bent. âWhy are you sitting in the parking lot in the dark with your car unlocked? Do you know how easy it would be for someone to-â
âCome up and kidnap me? Yeah, I learned all about it in my online safety training this past week as if I didnât already know,â you sassed with an eye roll. âI think my battery is dead. I usually keep jumper cables in here, but I cleaned my car out last week and must have taken them out. Iâm probably going to have to call an Uber.â
You didnât know why you were telling him all of this. The small voice in the back of your head knew why, but you werenât willingly to actively think about it. You had enough on your plate right now.
âIâll give you a ride home.â
âLike hell you will,â you told him.
âYou do know Iâm your boss, and you technically canât speak to me like that?â
âYou wonât fire me. You'll just put me on probation.â
He paused, his eyes closing momentarily before opening them again and going back to his stoic demeanor as usual. âLet me drive you home, so I will know that you got home safely. Please.â
You wanted to say no, but it was late and getting a ride home from Aaron meant that you didnât have to bother Emily or lose money on an Uber. The only thing youâd be losing, in your opinion, was what little dignity you had left when it came to Aaron.
Itâs just a ride home, you told yourself in your head.
âFine.â You had admitted defeat. âGive me a second.â
He turned his back to you and started to walk away from your car. When you knew for sure he couldnât see you, you positioned the rearview mirror so you could see yourself in it. Before you could stop yourself, you attempted to fix your hair as nicely as possible and then took a moment to stop what you were doing. You scoffed at yourself and shook your head.
âWhat is wrong with me?â You asked yourself aloud. âHe doesnât care. Neither do you.â
However, after you grabbed your things, you did sneak one more look in the mirror before getting out of your car and locking it. You were glad when you took another look to see Aaron not looking in your direction.Â
 You made your way over to Aaronâs signature parking spot, the same one he parked in every morning, and met him there, his hands typing something out on his phone until he noticed your presence.
Without missing a beat, he opened the passenger door for you. You wanted to tell your heart to stop when that familiar flutter came back like it used to all those months ago. You opened your mouth, but he stopped you before you could say anything.
âNo need for a remark. Iâm just opening the door for you.â
âI was going to say thanks.â
A ghost of a smile danced across his face as he shut the door. It was so quick if you werenât paying attention then you wouldnât have seen it.
Your eyes adjusted to the interior of Aaronâs car, dĂŠjĂ vu hitting you from the first time you were ever in his car. But you forced those thoughts back down with a grimace and a reminder of how that ended the first time.
With one hand gripping the wheel and the other holding onto the back of your seat as his torso turned, eyes watching behind as he backed out, you thought you were going to throw up. Not because you were sick, but because Aaron was so damn attractive in doing the simplest things like backing up a car.
âYou can turn on the radio if you want,â Aaron told you. âYour cord is still in here.â
You bit your lip, eyes locking onto the green cord still plugged in. âIâve been looking for that everywhere. I had to buy a new one for my car.â
Back when you were frequently with Aaron, and he was typically the designated driver when you went places, you often complained about the lack of music in his car. He only listened to whatever was on the radio. He had no CDs nor did he have an AUX cord, claiming something about never being in his personal car long enough to deal with music in it.
After that day, you put your AUX cord in his car the next time you were in it and controlled the music, often giving him a performance to your favorite songs in the car as he drove. Aaron never complained like a lot of guys would. Instead, he would watch you belt a heartbreak ballad with an amused smile.
But that was months ago. And things were much different now.
âI wouldâve given it back to you, but itâs slipped my mind. Feel free to take it with you.â
The happy memories that the AUX cord brought back were pushed to the back of your head again at his words. He told you to take it because there was no point in it anymore. You two were done.
You didnât plug the cord into your phone. You didnât play a song. You sat in the terrible silence, wishing it wasnât silent like before, but it was silent, and Aaron was acting like nothing was wrong.Â
Another awkward moment passed as he kept driving, the route to where you lived engraved as he had driven there many times. Aaron didnât have to ask you where you lived because he knew. He knew from all the late nights he dropped you back off. The thought of all the previous times youâd been on this exact same drive under different circumstances made your head hurt.
âWhy did you put me on probation?â The words slipped out before you could stop them.
âYou know why I put you on probation. You comprised the safety of yourself, the team, and-â
âI compromised the safety of myself, the team, and the victim, yes, I know, but you put me on a two week probation when I can name off countless times that others on the team have done worse and didnât get put on a two-week probation,â you argued back. âI know I messed up, but at the end of the day, it feels like youâre punishing me for something.â
He nodded, his eyes staying trained on the road. âI am punishing you for something, and that something is compromising-â
âI swear if you say compromise one more time-â
âCompromising your safety and the safety of others.â
You didn't say anything. Your arms were crossed as you looked out the window and into the dark as objects moved past you, reaching closer to your destination.
Aaron spoke your name, but you didnât want to look at him.
âWhat?â
âLook at me,â he said as the car came to a stop at a redlight.
You reluctantly looked over, not prepared to see him already looking at you. You swallowed, trying to keep your gaze on him.
âIâd rather you be angry with me than even thinking about the possibility of you getting hurt.â
You couldnât speak even if you wanted to because he kept going.
âWhen I saw you run into that warehouse, it was one of the only times in my life that I have been so scared that I couldnât think straight. I put you on probation because you did something reckless. All of us outside thought we lost you when we heard the gunshots. I know you and a few others thought probation was too harsh, but itâs important for you to know that if youâre going to storm a hostage situation, you have to communicate with us. The team cannot lose you,â Aaron told you, his eyes never leaving yours. âI canât lose you. Understood?â
You were pretty sure that at this point your voice was gone. You simply nodded.
The light turned green, and Aaron started driving again, his eyes finally breaking contact. âFinish out your probation next week and then put it behind you.â
There were no more words spoken. It was silent. You didnât know how to respond to anything he had just said to you.
Except you did have one question. You werenât even sure if you wanted the answer to it.
âIf you canât lose me,â you started, fiddling with the sleeve of your top, âthen why did you end things?â
âIt was for the best,â Aaron said, breaking your heart all over again. âIâm your boss-â
âYou being my boss didnât seem to be a problem when your mouth was on mine every time you dropped me off from dinner.â
He didnât seem to have an answer for that. You sat smugly in your seat waiting for him to say something.
âYou want the truth?â
âIâve only been asking you for the truth for four months now,â you shot back.
âI fell in love with you.â
Aaron said it so casually that you had to do a double take, your mouth slightly opening. Out of all the things he couldâve said, you did not in a million years think that would be it. Your heart was pounding, and there was a moment where you thought that you had imagined him saying that he fell in love with you, but he really did say it.
He continued. âI thought it was best to end what was going on between us because things wouldâve only escalated, and I didnât want people to think negatively about you. Youâre a strong woman in a male-dominated field. Youâve worked hard to get to where you are. You should be taken seriously and unfortunately, going out with your boss doesnât look good on paper. I hurt you, and Iâm truly sorry for that.â
You hadnât even realized it when Aaron had finally pulled up to the huge parking lot of your apartment building, which was surprisingly vacant for a Thursday night. The words heâd said were dancing around in your head. You hadnât done anything wrong. It felt like a weight had been lifted off your shoulders.
Even after everything, all you really wanted was him.
âAaron,â you said as you turned to him when he put the car in park, âI mean this with all due respect, but thatâs not just your decision to make. I should get a say. I wish you had told me because for the last four months Iâve been going crazy with overthinking. Thatâs why it hurt so much when you put me on probation. I thought you were punishing me for something between us. Please donât shut me out because Iâm in love with you, and quite frankly, I donât give a shit about what people say about me.â
âBut people will talk about you-â
âSo?â
âAnd thereâs also Strauss-â
âWho we can deal with. Iâm not afraid of Erin Strauss,â you cut him off again.
He raised his eyes before you spoke again. âOkay, maybe Iâm slightly afraid of her, but that doesnât change anything. You donât choose who you fall in love with. If people want to talk about me for being in love, then let them. I just want to be with you, so please stop trying to protect me. I can handle anything.â
âOkay,â Aaron said after a minute. âOkay. If you want to do this, there is a lot to discuss work-wise.â
âThatâs fine. I have a lot of time to discuss things. Iâm on probation.âÂ
Every other time you had brought up your probation, it had been with anger, but this time, there was only a grin on your face. Even though you were still mad about that damn probation, which was another conversation for another time, you figured you might as well make a joke out of it.
Aaron couldnât keep a straight face. âYes, you are for five more days. You still have one more module on safety in the field to complete.â
âScrew you,â you said half-jokingly.
âYou wish,â he shot right back.
âYouâre damn right I do.â
It was as if there was a shift in the air. Youâd spent four months without him and in that moment you had decided you never really wanted to go another second without him. There was still a lot to talk about between the two of you, but for now, all you really wanted to do was kiss him.
Even when the two of you were âseeingâ each other, or whatever it was, there wasnât much physical affection. Aaron always kissed you before dropping you off at night, but it was always short, sweet, and simple. Tonight, you didnât want short, sweet, and simple as your goodbye kiss.
âYou should be getting in. Itâs late,â he told you, but neither of you made an effort to move. In fact, it felt like you had only gotten closer. You could feel Aaronâs breath fan your face.
You leaned even closer, your face only inches from his. âYou gonna tell me goodnight?â
Aaron never replied, only moving to close the small gap between the two of you, his lips pressing against yours in a way that almost felt desperate.
You were the one to take it a step further as your mouth opened wider and one of your hands slid up to rest on his shoulder. Aaron gladly took the hint. His tongue was in your mouth and before you could process it, one hand had moved to cup your face while the other rested on your thigh.
He pulled back for a moment, but only to mess with something under his seat. You gave him a confused look, still breathing heavily. âWhat are you doing?â
Aaronâs seat had scooted back further to open more room between him and the steering wheel, and you realized what he was doing now. He simply shrugged. âThe console is in the way.â
With that, you laughed and maneuvered yourself across the center console that Aaron seemed to hate at the moment. His hands instinctively grabbed your waist in an attempt to help you move over and onto him â literally.
You took in your current situation for a moment. You were straddling Aaron Hotchner in his car in a parking lot. If you had told yourself earlier in the morning that this is where you would be, you would not have believed it.
His lips were back on yours before you could think about anything else, hands still gripping your waist while yours moved to his hair. You were pressed against him, your chest to his, and left no room between the two of you.
âThis okay?â He mumbled as his warm hands snaked underneath your shirt, now resting on your bare hips. He pressed a kiss to your jaw while you nodded, a deep breath leaving your mouth. He smiled against your jaw before reattaching his lips again, but this time to your neck.
You couldnât think of the last time you felt like this. Your body felt like it was literally on fire, and Aaronâs mouth wasnât doing anything to extinguish that fire â only making it worse.
As much as you loved the hot, open-mouthed kisses to your neck, you cupped his face, guiding him back up to your lips. Your hands slid to tangle in his hair, earning you a throaty sound from him, which only encouraged you further as you smiled against his lips before going back to kissing him.
Aaron pulled back only a few seconds later, both of you breathing heavily in a hot and flustered state. âAs much as Iâm enjoying this, we probably shouldnât get too carried away in here.â
âWhat? Car sex isnât on your bucket list?â You joked.
He laughed as you leaned into the hand cupping your face. âYou deserve better than a car the first time.â
âSo what Iâm hearing is car sex after the first time?â
Aaron gave you one of his rare grins, and it lit up your entire world. âYou are impossible.â
âIâm just kidding,â you said, giving him a peck on the cheek. âI really should be getting in the bed. My boss is making me come in at eight-thirty tomorrow for a meeting.â
âOh really? He sounds very smart.â
You playfully rolled your eyes and with the help of Aaron, you moved back over to the passenger seat. âI will see you bright and early in the morning.â
âLooking forward to it.â
You gave him one last kiss before gathering your bag and opening the car door. âGoodnight, Aaron.â
âGoodnight,â he told you.
You shut the door and with a smile on your face, waved to him one last time before making your way towards the entrance of your apartment building.
However, before you could get very far, you heard Aaronâs voice calling your name. You turned around to see him with his window down.
âDid I forget something?â You called to him and watched confusedly as he shook his head.
âYour hair looked fine earlier. You didnât have to fix it just for me.â

Helping Beelzebub put on black paint before his Fangol game. He saw somewhere online that humans wear it during their football games, which sounds rather similar to Fangol and wanted to try it.
He has you cup his face while you rub the pen across his upper cheeks and the bridge of his nose while he looks at you as if you were the only thing that mattered. Maybe sneaks a few kisses in between you using your fingers to spread the paint around.
You paint little hearts on his cheeks with your thumbs, leaving cute 'lil finger prints on him and he shows it off like a trophy. Beelzebub has that dopey lopsided grin he gets when spending time with his family or before chowing down on one of his favorite meals plastered on his face when he wins the game. Proudly runs over to the bleachers and smooches you again just for the hell of it. Beelzebub ends up nuzzling his nose against yours and covers you in the same paint you put on him before his game.
Beel flushes a deep red when you suggest washing it off together in the locker room when his teammates leave
(NSFW UNDER THE CUT)
Poor thing is torn between going out and getting burgers with Belphie and you or simply pressing you onto your knees and rutting into you from behind as you lean against a bench for support.
You get to watch that paint streak down his face from the shower head as he has your back against the wall and your thigh in his hands, grinding his cock against you. Water doesn't exactly make the best lube, but he doesn't mind. As soon as he gets home from dinner with you and Belphie, there will be a round three in your bedroom.
#its incredibly late and im half asleep sorry if this is ass#obey me beelzebub#beelzebub obey me#obey me smut#i also havent written smut in a while#i think its almost been a year now actually

Special Little Lamb | Cooper Abbott x GenderNeutral!Reader | Dark Fic
Hey there! This fic is inspired by this textpost and @hibiskooks' tags, which led to further thoughts on my part and then the urge to turn them into a whole short story (hence why I linked my own reblog on my horror sideblog because it shows both our tags and the thought process). Understandably, it's a dark fic, albeit romantic this time, unlike my previous Cooper fic, hjdkhsjk! I hope you'll enjoy it! summary; You were once a captive of the Butcher, but as it so happened, you formed a deep connection with him and are now helping him with his victims. One of them tries to get through to you to help them out of the basement, but hadn't realised your status as the Butcher's favourite. You have a tattoo to prove it, though, and so does he. notes/warnings; Gender Neutral!Reader; Dark Fic; Reader used to be a Victim (still is, if you will); Reader most definitely has Stockholm Syndrome and is Morally Grey/Dark; Implied/Mentioned Murders; Active Captivity of a Female Victim; Abuser/Victim Relationship (if we're being realistic); Ableist Language (once); Partner Tattoos; Hints at Sexual Acitivity, but nothing Explicit whatsoever; Kissing.
With practised ease, you opened the several locks, and then the door they were a part of, down to the basement in the usually vacant house in a small neighbourhood on the outskirts of Philadelphia. The door opened with a loud squeak. You made a mental note to remind Cooper to oil the hinges, again.Â
As if on cue, you could hear chains being dragged across the concrete floor and frantic rattling of metal against metal.Â
Carefully, you went downstairs to the basement, where a woman in her thirties was held captive. She sat on the ground in the middle of the room, and the chains of her cuffs were attached to the far wall.Â
âIâm a little late today, I know. Sorry,â you told her gently, shooting her an apologetic smile.Â
For a long moment, she just looked at you, while you were walking over to her and then crouching across from her. And just like you did the previous times you visited her, you retrieved a protein bar and a small bottle of water from a bag, handing each item to her.Â
The woman, Anna, ripped them out of your hands, scooting further away from you when she did, like a small, wild and scared animal. It was almost amusing to you. There was no reason for her to be scared of you, after all.
In silence, you watched her devour the protein bar and down the water in one go. You really had been late that day.Â
Once she was done, you stood back up, picked up the trash and put it back into your bag. Cooper didnât like to leave it there in the basement, and so you didnât either.Â
You were about to start your way upstairs again when the woman called out to you, âWait!â
Turning around to face her, you made a small noise, indicating that you were listening.
âYou donât have to do any of this⌠please⌠just let me go. You could just unlock the cuffs and leave the door open. He doesnât have to know! Please!â she pleaded with you, tears in her eyes and desperation clear in her voice, âI wonât tell anyone, okay? I promise. I wonât tell anyone that youâre involved.âÂ
This was the fifth time she begged you to let her go. She was more persistent than most of the others ever had been. Or maybe sheâd just been there long enough to come up to five separate occasions of pleading for her life to be spared.Â
Sighing softly, you shook your head, âNo. I canât do that, Iâm sorry.â You crouched down across from Anna once more, making eye contact with her. Then, you pointed to the far edge of the ceiling above and behind you, looking back at her. âHe has a camera here. Heâd know if I helped you. And even if he wouldnât⌠Iâm not ruining this for him.â
Sometimes, Cooper liked to take his time with them. This having been one of them. Although, you knew that a lot of it had to do with his work. He had to do extra shifts and stay on call these past two weeks because they were short staffed at the firehouse, due to injuries that affected half of the regular team and rendered them unable to work for a while.Â
It was only a matter of time until Cooper had the chance to commit several hours to this woman in front of you. But for the time being, you had to keep paying her visits to bring her snacks and drinks, and let her use the toilet in the back of the basement, just so sheâd stay alive long enough.Â
To keep them for more than a week was risky, though.
âWhy are you doing this?â Anna asked you after a beat, changing tactics apparently, because this question was new. âI recognise you. I saw you on the news a few years ago. You went missing, too.â
Frowning, you let out a deep exhale, âI know what youâre trying to do. Itâs not gonna work, so stop it.â
âWhat did he do to you? Is he forcing you?â she pressed anyway, unsurprisingly ignoring what you said.
Groaning softly in annoyance, you got up, stretching your back. You looked down at her, seeing nothing but a desperate woman, who was grasping at straws to ensure safety. Unfortunately for Anna, her pleas would only be ignored, since you had no interest in helping her.
âHeâs not forcing me. I chose to stay and help,â you told her, then.Â
For you, this was the end of this conversation, but Anna clearly wasnât ready to let it stay that way, reaching out to you and gripping your wrists tightly, her chains clanking loudly. At the suddenness of all this, you flinched, trying to shake her off of you.Â
âLet go of me!â you hissed at her.
âNo! Listen to me,â she urged you, her grasp unexpectedly strong, âI donât believe you. He must have convinced you that this is what you wanted, told you things, threatened you. Why would you ever willingly stay with a monster like him?â
âHeâs not a monster!â you interrupted her, raising your voice at her.
Anna wasnât deterred by it, though, âHe kills people! Keeps them in this crappy basement until heâs done with them. Heâs a monster. People donât do that. And you know that heâll get to you at some point, too.
âDo you really think that heâll spare you forever? You might be useful to him now, but thereâll be a point where you make a mistake or he just gets bored of you. And I mean, why wouldnât he? Youâre nothing to him! Heâll find somebody else, somebody less damaged than you. And when he does, heâll discard you, like you never meant anything. Because you donât. Not to him.
âBut if you help me out of here, we can go together. And weâll get help, okay? He wonât hurt you anymore. Youâll be free, we both will,â she finished her little speech, breathing heavily, frantically, once she was done, and looking up at you with wild eyes, just hoping to get through to you.
There was no denying that sheâd hit a nerve in you, but not in the way she had hoped.
Your brow twitched as you tried to keep your immediate rage at bay.Â
Instead, you composed yourself with a couple of deep breaths, feeling Anna let go of your arms when she seemed to think that she was starting to achieve her goal with you.Â
With a flourish, you pulled the long sleeve of your jacket up, exposing your inner left wrist to Annaâs questioning eyes, which widened almost instantly when she saw the tattoo on your skin. It was a black thin lined tattoo of a meat cleaver in front of a background that appeared almost ethereal, despite how minimalistic it was. But she quickly connected the dots. Cooper had a tattoo just like it, only that instead of a meat cleaver, it was a lamb at the centre.Â
âIâm his favourite, you know? We got these tattoos about a year ago. He told me that he wanted something to represent me on his skin, as well, when I begged him to let me get a tattoo that would remind me of him. I didnât ask him to get one, or make any sort of suggestion to wanting that. But he did it anyway. Because he wanted that reminder of me,â you explained the tattoos to Anna, who just looked at you in disbelief.Â
With a pleased smile on your lips, you slid the sleeve back down to cover your arm again.Â
ââThe Butcherâs little Lambâ is what he told me when we got home after the tattoo appointment,â you told her softly with a wistful smile as you reminisced, âHe let me go. But I stayed. I begged him to let me be useful to him. And he did, because Iâm special to him.â
âYouâre crazy,â Anna spat out in disgust at what she was hearing.
âAnd youâre nothing. To him, or me. Or anyone,â you retorted easily, âYou see, in a few weeks, youâll be nothing but a faint memory. And in a few months, youâll be nothing but another number. And for me, youâll be nothing but that beautiful bracelet you wore when he abducted you.â
This time, Anna had nothing more to say, it seemed, as she slumped back in defeat. You took the chance to finally pick your bag up again and go back upstairs, locking the door behind you to the sound of faint cries.
When you arrived at yours and Cooperâs house, you already saw his car in the driveway, making you feel excited to see him again. It was tough for you to be apart from him while he was working.Â
Inside, you came to a sudden halt, though, seeing Cooper lean against the doorway to the foyer of your house, idly playing with his phone in his hands. You didnât expect him to wait there for you, but instantly relaxed when you saw that he was smiling at you. It was one of his gentle smiles that always melted your heart, just like it did now.
âHey, little Lamb,â he greeted you softly.
Feeling your heart flutter, your face brightened as you beamed at Cooper, walking over to him, as he pocketed his phone and loosely wrapped his arms around your waist, looking at you with a pleased expression.
âI heard what you were telling poor Anna there,â he whispered, âI thought Iâd check on you two when I got home earlier, seeing as you werenât here when you should have been.â
Averting your gaze in shame, you apologised, âI know, Iâm sorry. I was cleaning the house and lost track of time, so I left later than usual. It wonât happen again.â
Cooper clicked his tongue quietly, using his left hand to gently take hold of your jaw and move your head to make you look back up at him. âHey, itâs all right. I was just worried that something mightâve happened,â he told you soothingly.
There was nothing in the world that could compare to the feeling you got when Cooper showed that you were important to him.Â
âYou did a good job, you know?â Cooper continued, then, still speaking in a soft, gravelly tone, âShe was out of line with all those cruel things she said to you. And trust me, Iâll make her pay for it very soon. I promise. Iâm proud of you for handling it the way you did.â
Those words had such an instantaneous effect on you, causing you to feel hot all over, warm and fuzzy inside your chest as your heart seemed to swell with pride.Â
âThank you,â you giggled happily, unable to contain your giddiness.Â
Praise such as this wasnât something you were used to, and Cooper wouldnât have said it if he hadnât meant every word. You felt like you were on top of the world.
Cooperâs fingers were still gently wrapped around your jaw, now moving upward, his fingertips grazed your lips and cheeks before his palm settled and cupped your face. His dark eyes met yours. His gaze was soft, yet piercing nonetheless, and it took your breath away, just like it always did. There was no escape from his all-consuming presence. It was dominating your every sense.
Leaning his head further down, Cooperâs lips hovered above yours. âI think youâve earned yourself a reward,â he whispered, brushing his lips against yours as he spoke.
You couldnât do anything but make an excited sound in the back of your throat, while your hands were tightly gripping his shirt, where you held onto him on his chest, right below his shoulders.Â
Amused, Cooper breathed out a small chuckle before pressing his mouth against yours in a lovingly heated kiss that conveyed just what kind of reward he had in mind for you. You instantly melted into the kiss, reciprocating it as best as you could while your entire body and mind felt like they were on fire. Even after a couple of years of this, it never ceased to amaze and overwhelm you.Â
And when you later lay in bed, bodies intertwined and in their most natural states, your finger was lazily and gently tracing the lines of the tattoo on Cooperâs right wrist. The tattoo that was a reminder, a representation of you, for him. You couldnât suppress the smile when the happiness you associated with that rushed over you. Â
âMy special little Lamb,â Cooper whispered, watching your dreamy face as you kept tracing along the tattoo, and pressed another kiss to your temple and then your cheek and your lips again. This time, it was a gentle show of affection, which you happily accepted, soaking up every moment of it.
Soon, Anna would realise just how wrong she had been about you and Cooper.

He tells himself that he was in no way infatuated with you what so ever. Not a bit. Has to constantly convince himself within his messy mindset that he was or is, no way obligated to willingly shun his looming presence with yours. None.
But how is it that he now finds himself nestled ever so comfortably in the softness of your cushioned couch. One arm toppled behind his head as the other pets gently, lazily along the prickling fur of your adorable pup resting on him. Eyes closed softly, as his mind now warps solely on you, from your beautiful beaming smile to the supple adorable giggles that swarm his cold heart. It astonishes him of how more frequent you come to his blundering mind, easing him from the overbearing stress that weighs down on him from the insisting impairment of protecting the multiverse.
And you, lurking just at the start of your hallway, lean against the solid wall beside you, cross your arms and smile giddily at the adorable sight bestowing before you. You'd carefully walk over to the two napping babies, bringing a cozy, thick throw over the snoozing companions embracing each others company.
You'd simply, delicately brush some of his gorgeous, thick loose strands of mahogany from his peaceful, stunning face. Thoroughly admiring every intricate, atoning detail that strung along the perfect structure of his restful face.
Absentmindedly, without any realization and lost into the sheer beauty his relaxed face had to offer â you could feel the supple tender of his warm, plush lips graze just ever so softly against the pad of you index finger. A low, inaudible gasp shimmies down the juncture of your throat, blinking rapidly, your eyes gaze down to the placement of your wandering fingertips. A feeble, radiating heat slowly absorbing into your plush cheeks. A low, rumbled chuckle bounces against the flush of your inquisitive digit, igniting a fervent pace of your puttering heart.
Your lashes flutter rapidly, dilated irises now met with a beautiful set of glossed carmine. A playful glint of soft coy and amusement clearly shining through those gorgeous, ruby globes. A gentle touch of his large hand wraps ever so carefully around your slim wrist, pushing his lips more intimately against the warm flesh of your tensed finger. His eyes never wavering from your stunned, embarrassed expression.
How cute.
His own long, thick fingers playing along the silky skin of your trembling wrist. Emits another amused chuckle, pressing another light kiss to your finger.
"You know it's rude to interrupt a mans sleep, cariĂąo"
#idek what this is but I couldn't stop thinking about it#slowly trying to ease back into the swing of things!#also I'm sorry for this not making much sense kinda...wrote this half asleep lmaooo#miguel o'hara x reader#miguel o'hara#atsv
