Angel Eyes
Luke Castellan X Daughter of Aphrodite!Reader
Summary: Look into his angel eyes, You'll think you're in paradise, and one day, you'll find out he wears a disguise. Don't look too deep into those angel eyes.
Warnings: Explicit scenes *smirks*, angst (Remind me if I missed one!)
Author's note: I was listening to ABBA and realized that Angel Eyes describes Luke PERFECTLY. When Yk yk.
——
You laid on top of Luke's bare chest, still panting heavily, He pressed his nose to your hair and inhaled your scent. His muscular arms wrapped around your breasts.
"Do you love me?"
Luke immediately laughed, His throat bobbing as his laughter echoed through his empty cabin.
"Is that even a question? Of course I do, " He said, His eyes looking deeply at yours, carefully analyzing your reaction.
You didn't answer. Instead, you got up and pulled his blanket to cover your bare chest while trying to search for your clothes.
Luke immediately sensed something was wrong, He sat up and leaned against the headboard, Carefully watching you as you put on your pink bra.
"You're Upset" He said.
"Am I?" You asked sarcastically, You remembered the prophecy perfectly.
Someone who you deeply love lies, manipulating one until your own eyes sees the bright blue skies.
Someone you deeply love.
The oracle felt like it was pointing at Luke, the love of your life. The one who saved you when you were a mess. The one who kissed you every night, The one who wiped your tears when you were crying. The one who held your hand when you were scared.
It's impossible.
He wouldn't do that.
Not Him.
Not Luke.
As soon as you're fully clothed. You looked into his eyes, Searching for any signs of betrayal you might suffer, But instead, He winked and kissed your cheeks before you left.
——
He betrayed you, He really did.
He wasn't Luke anymore, He was now Kronos.
You laid beneath the road. The sun hitting your face as you stared at skies, Rethinking your choices.
You're fatally wounded after ethan nakamura shot you with a deadly arrow, The poison spread slowly inside your body, making you weak. Tears streamed down your cheeks as you thought his name all over again.
Luke Luke Luke Luke Luke
As if tho his name was a prayer, You were dying. You were about to lose a life, A life you had future plans, a life that you deeply deserve.
Then, You saw someone towering over you, It was Luke, with a scythe in hand, His scar was still on his face, Ever so beautiful. You tried to say his name but was greeted with a pool of blood choking you as soon as you opened your mouth.
"Shh...There there now..." Luke, Or should I say Kronos caressed your hair as you started gasping for hair, Indicating that the poison had spread now.
"Sleep well darling" He whispered as he planted a kiss on your forehead.
You then closed your eyes and stopped struggling, You were now free, The last thing you saw was the blue skies and Luke's angel eyes as Thanatos' silhouette appeared behind you.
A/N: THE BETRAYAL?!?!? I HAVEN'T READ THE BOOKS BUT I KNEW LUKE WAS A TRAITOR. HOW DID I DO?! IM NOT GOOD AT ANGST SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF THIS IS A SHORT ONE 😔😔

Finally
Max Verstappen x Reader
Summary: Of course, everyone wanted him. He is a Champion after all.
A/N: Massive thank you to everyone who voted! Hope you enjoy!
You understood.
He was a winner.
The most wanted man currently. He was a Formula 1 driver, rich, single and famous.
Every woman wanted him.
But it didn't help your jealousy.
You have had a crush on him for the longest time. You knew him from the moment he joined Red Bull.
Keeping it a secret had been difficult as everyone around you knew about it. Even Chris made jokes about when you two will get together.
And yet, he had no clue.
And you liked that.
You didn't want him to find out.
It's not like you had a real chance with him.
He used to date models for God's sake. They were all thin, rich and had the personality of a moth. Okay, you might have added the last part.
But still.
You were simply the social media manager for Red Bull.
You were… simple.
But jealousy hit like a truck out of nowhere. He showed up at an event with a woman.
She was pretty but she wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. She fully believed DRS means “Doing Rather Shitty” after Lance made a joke.
Then Fernando made a joke about how the cockpit is called that because they used to have chickens running around and they jumped on the cars.
You were dying of laughter. And she fully believed everything.
But she was beautiful.
You had to agree with that.
But when they walked back to his car, hand in hand, your stomach sank.
"Jealousy is dangerous." Fernando stepped closer to you as he sipped his drink.
"Talking from experience?" you turned and smiled at him.
"Maybe." his look made you laugh.
Little did you know that Max watched you laugh with Fernando and he couldn't help the feeling in his stomach.
---
Much like everyone else's, the Monza Grand Prix was your favourite.
You just loved the buzz and the excitement. Everyone hoped Ferrari would win.
Even you had a little soft spot for the team during a weekend like this.
You would steal glances at Max when he wasn't looking, and your heart would flutter whenever he smiled as his engineer was talking to him.
The Grand Prix ended with Max coming out on top.
As a way to celebrate, he invited you to a picnic in the park.
You just couldn't resist the opportunity to spend more time with him, so of course you said yes.
You spent hours picking out your outfit.
And when you arrived, Max had everything ready. It looked... romantic.
As you sat on a blanket under the shade of a tree, you felt your heart pounding in your chest.
You knew that this was the perfect moment to finally confess your feelings to Max. Even if it would ruin your relationship, you didn't want to hide in the shadows any longer.
Taking a deep breath, you mustered up the courage to speak with your heart hammering in your chest.
"May, there's something I need to tell you," you began, voice trembling slightly. But you knew, you couldn't watch him with other women any longer.
Now or never.
Max turned to look at you, his eyes filled with curiosity but he allowed you to continue with a simple nod.
"I...I've been in love with you for as long as I can remember," you confessed, and felt your cheeks turning a deep shade of pink. "Ever since Chris introduced us... and I am tired of pretending that I am not."
To your surprise, Max's face broke into a wide grin.
"I've been in love with you too, from the moment I heard you laugh" he said, reaching out to take your hand into his.
Your heart filled with joy as you realized that your feelings were returned. You sat there in the park, basking in the warmth of your newfound love, knowing that you had finally found happiness in each other's arms.
All of your worries just left you when he leaned over to kiss you.
What a weekend.
From that day on, you two started sharing secrets, and dreams and laughing together under the stars.
You couldn't believe that you had kept your feelings hidden for so long.
The next day, when you announced your relationship everyone just said, "Finally." and congratulated you.
Looked like you two were truly blind, but you didn't care about that anymore.
All you could care about was that you were finally his and he was yours.

You all are exhausted from passing the first month, sixteen plus hour days, days you don't even go home, all to get a top spot with the star Surgeon, Dr. Gojo, your resident doctor and boss. Or as you call him, Dr. Hojo. He's takes nothing serious but his surgeries it seems, and has a reputation for being a player, but he has that top spot, so you want to prove your worth! You just have to ignore those stupid butterflies he gives you, and those pretty blue eyes, along with his interest in you, and focus!
♡ Reblogs and comments appreciated ♡
=͟͟͞♡ Part Two =͟͟͞♡ Playlist =͟͟͞♡ Masterlist
♡ Part Three ♡
One Week Later- the OR
“Intern, those fingers ready?” Dr. Gojo says to you, as you hold the severed finger of the patient in front of you, you’ve already cleaned them out, removing the damaged tissue. Maki is watching you eagerly from the window above, as if she’s dying to get her hand on the fingers, nibbling on a snack with Yuta as they watch. You look at Gojo, nodding now. “Perfect, now come over here.”
You stand next to Dr. Gojo in the OR now, a little overheated in your face mask, holding the finger steady as he begins to work on restoring the ligaments. You watch him avidly, his expert fingers under those latex purple gloves, precise to every millimeter, wiring the finger as you hold it. It’s quiet in the room, just the two of you and the sleeping patient, along with one of the nurses checking the vitals.
“What am I doing right now, Intern?” Satoru asks, peering up at you through his goggles, only serving to magnify the blue of his eyes.
“Wiring the tendons, Dr. Gojo.”
“Exactly, and how many hours do we typically have to do this successfully?” He asks softly.
“Twenty four hours, though everything after six hours poses a risk.”
“Perfect. How are you at sutures?”
“I’m the suture queen. I am in quilting classes, you know.” You tease, he chuckles a bit then, as the nurse hands you the needle and thread. You take it with steady hands, pouring antiseptic on the exposed finger, now put back together from Gojo. He’s right next to you, watching everything you do carefully.
“Nice, very nice. Almost as good as me, actually.” You smile under your mask at the praise, as he stands so very close you can smell his cologne even in the room that smells like pure rubbing alcohol and cleaner, you can feel the body heat of him, but you focus.
You slowly continue your sutures, making sure to be as even as possible, looping the skin together bit by bit as Dr. Gojo watches you. He does not instruct you, he merely holds it in place and allows you to finish, once you do he inspects it and hums to himself in satisfaction.
“Do you want to wire the tendons?”
“Fuck yes! Oh shit…” You blush now, thankful he can’t see, but you hear his soft laughter then. “Can I?”
“Only way to learn is to do it. I’ll be guiding you.” One hand presses against your back for just a moment as he switches your positions now, making you tremble, nerves going insane as you see Maki giving you a big thumbs up. Gojo laughs as he looks at her. “You have a fan club.”
“Not like yours Dr. Gojo.” You tease, now grabbing the wire.
“And what’s this technique called?”
“Tension band wiring.”
“You’re a little nerd.” You gasp, and the nurse laughs a bit. “It’s not a bad thing, you just are one.”
“Aren’t we all who go to med school?” You ask, carefully starting to gently wire the tendons together, Satoru is right against you now.
“Figure eight motions, there you go. Beautiful.” He murmurs again, and you’re eating up the praise, the nurse steps out for a moment since he is now stable, as you’re finishing up, when suddenly something is stabbing you in your temple. You cry out, gasping, and Satoru looks at you with concern.
“What’s wrong?” He whispers, leaning closer, and you shake your head, taking a breath as you continue to finish suturing his finger up.
“I’m so sorry.” You manage to say.
“Sorry? Your hands haven’t wavered, you’re okay. What’s going on?”
“Really bad stabbing ache. I’ve had them before but this was bad… shit… please don’t-”
“I won’t tell anyone.” He assures you quietly, and your eyes flutter shut for just a moment now that he’s taken over, arms wrapped around and working over you, for a moment you lean back against his chest, before panicking. “It’s fine, no one’s watching anymore, take a moment.”
“It’s not professional-”
“You did great. Why don’t we… talk about that headache later?” You sigh, leaning against him for just a moment, feeling his heart pounding against your back steadily, slowly, it feels far too good, to shut your tired eyes and breathe.
“You don’t have to worry about it. You have enough to do.” You say softly, straightening up now and starting to apply the antiseptic carefully. Satoru stands next to you again, and you already miss him behind you, complete insanity surely.
“Just come to my office after you clean up. Yeah?” He says, the nurses come in then, and you nod carefully.
“Do you think he’ll play piano again?” You ask, carefully inspecting both of your handiwork now, the fingers sutured beautifully, but still, you know he has quite a recovery ahead. “I found him on Youtube, he’s amazing.”
“You get so mushy and attached.” He teases, you just smile.
“I guess I do. It’s a bad habit.”
“Very bad. But… I do think he’ll play again, it may take some practice and time, but we did very well.” You exhale in relief, finishing up as Dr. Gojo walks out, the pain in your head starting to come back once more.
“Shit…” You whisper under your breath, anxiety making your heart race now, but you shove it down, focusing.
Later after cleaning up and heading to Satoru’s office, it’s cracked open and you peek in, earning his laugh when he sees you. “Hey it’s not a Scooby mystery, Daphne. Well… maybe Velma, you’re so nerdy.”
You glare now, making him grin with those glinting white teeth. “You’re a regular Scooby Doo, but for sweets and BJs.” You shut the door behind you, he holds a hand to his chest.
“Ouch! That one hurts, you’re saying blow jobs are my Scooby Snacks!?” You roll your eyes.
“I’m just making sure I’m not stepping in on a… Hojo moment.”
Satoru’s lips curl up on one side, hands in the pockets of his slacks, lab coat behind his hips then, revealing his long, lithe legs. He is tilting his head, white hair falling just so. “A Hojo moment hmm? Like me and you at that party?”
“Shh!” You’re leaned up, hand on his mouth, as he laughs against your palm, heating it up. “We did nothing.”
“You know orgasms help headaches? Scientifically- don’t go!”
“You’re an ass.” You’re snatched up by him then, big hands on your narrow shoulders, frozen in place with him behind you.
“Sorry, sorry. Can’t blame me for teasing you, Miss cancels our date.”
“I really did get crazy busy, family shit. I’m sorry.” You turn back to him, feeling his fingertips brush your bare skin as they slip down your arms, and see he is pouting, you giggle then.
“You laugh at my pain, brat?”
“Brat! You’re a brat. No, your pout is why I giggled, it’s cute.” You tap his lips now, remembering the feel of them on yours, fuck it had been a long week since you two had shared that moment in your room, you may or may not have played with yourself to the memory… maybe or maybe not several times this week.
Not that you’d tell him though. Just stress relief!
Yeah?
Yeah…
“I promise I’ll make it up. I felt bad… it was actually my cousin. She had a baby recently and came down with something.”
“So you spent your only day off doctoring?”
You sigh. “Yep.”
“Nerd.”
“Hey!” He’s laughing again.
“Fine, what about a drink at the bar across the street after work then? Something easier?”
Drinks with Gojo. Dr. Hojo.
Bad idea.
“Sure.”
Fuck. Maybe you can keep your pants on this time…
“Better not stand me up, missy.” He taps your forehead now. “I want to do a CT scan first, MRI if I see anything too crazy. That okay with you?”
“But I have work, Dr. Gojo… rounds…”
“Have your friends cover for just like thirty minutes, okay? Do they know you have headaches?” He asks, eyeing you as if you’re a case now. You know that look, you see it on him constantly as he assesses his patients.
“How do you know I get them alot?”
“You rub your temples all the time, and your neck. But I figured stress and exhaustion. It could just be that. But…” He trails off, brushing back a lock of your hair now, making your body light up with the gentlest brush. “Humor me and let me see inside your head.”
“You wanna be inside me so bad.” His eyes get lidded at your joke, and your breath catches at the look on his pretty face. “Fuck, bad joke.”
“Hmm, no… it’s true.” He tilts your chin up, your breaths mingling now, as the door knocks, and you step away quickly, only to earn his lazy gaze. “Those scrubs hide such a nice little body.”
“Shush Hojo.” You smack at him now, and he opens the door, you notice it’s Miwa, he lets her in and you tense up, ready to leave, what is their deal? And why do you care!? It’s not like you all have done anything but make out and…
And…
Fuck you can’t get his demon doctor fingering skills out of your damn head, it’s like he’s implanted there, whispering your anatomy just to fuck with you. You shake yourself out of it as Satoru talks to Miwa now.
“Could you prep a CT for me please, Miwa?”
“Of course I can. Hello Doctor!” She says brightly to you, you both had been much better this week after the intense situation where she’d questioned you, now she seems to truly respect you more. Though you wish it wasn’t just Gojo’s words.
“Hello Miwa. How are you handling today? It’s been crazy.”
“I know, ugh. I’m good, I’m about to leave for the day, I’ll prep it for you, Dr. Gojo, here’s the notes for the recovery of that patient you all just worked on too.” He takes them and smiles.
“Thanks Miwa. Have a good night.” She bounces off, and he smirks down at you, snowy lashes lowering. “You’re jealous.”
“What!? No! Of what, sucking Dr. Hojo’s dick?” You cross your arms, scowling up at his snarky expression.
“It was once. I don’t tend to go on dates or carry on, you know.”
“So why ask me?”
“Maybe you’re… different.” You pause at that, blinking a bit when he steps close once more. “Maybe I really can’t get your anatomy out of my mind.”
“Shush. CT scan.” You whisper, he’s too goddamn close, leaning low over you, so close you’re studying his perfect skin and his high cheekbones, fuck he’s even prettier up close. It’s really annoying.
Those blue eyes are absolutely stunning, of course they are, but it’s not just the color, it’s all of the things emoted in his eyes, the intensity of them. Your eyes keep darting to his lips, even when the throbbing in your head comes back, you gently rub your temple as you keep flickering your gaze back to his eyes, soon his cool fingers replace your own, rubbing gently.
“You don’t want to admit you liked it.” Satoru says softly, his breath tickling you as he presses in, your eyes close at how good it feels, sighing.
“I want to be taken seriously, Satoru. Not to be the intern that gets favored because she fucks her boss.”
“You stress too much. Maybe that’s the cause of the headaches.”
“Hmm… maybe.” You lean closer now, continuing to let him rub your temples further. “You assume I wanna fuck you, Dr. Hojo.”
“Oh, it’s an educated guess. By all your body language.”
“Shush, keep rubbing.” His chest shakes against your hands with laughter as he gently cradles your face in his hands now, pressing his lips to your temple. “That feels too good, better stop.”
“You’re really annoying, intern. Mmmkay go get yourself covered so we can get it done yeah?”
“Meet you there.”
*****
“I hate this shit, I feel like I gotta pee.” You grumble now, as Satoru is injecting the contrast dye into your arm, making you feel like you’re hot everywhere as you lay on your back right outside of the machine. Satoru’s lips quirk up, you try to ignore how good the man looks as your doctor for just a moment.
Impossible.
“I know, it’s the worst, but just for a few. I’ll be right over there, looking all inside you.”
“Fuck off.” You stick your tongue out and he wiggles his brows, stepping out of the room, you get tense, feeling yourself breathing a little too fast as he now speaks through the microphone.
“Alright, pretty patient.”
“You’re flirting with your patient during a CT scan?” His teasing eases your nerves, though you don’t admit it outright, a little smile plays on your lips.
“Only patients this pretty.” He murmurs, and you ignore the blush on your cheeks, must be the contrast dye overheating you. “I’m easing you in, yeah? Just stay as still as you can and breathe.”
“Yes, Sir.” He hums then a bit, and you’re sliding into the donut shaped scanner, you always hate these things. As it starts swirling around your head in circles, you try to ignore the whirring sound, the overwhelming fear, what could be wrong, what could it mean-
“Don’t panic, it’s fine. Just checking okay?” Satoru’s voice interrupts your thoughts over the speaker now. Your nails are digging into your palm, a little sheen of moisture on your eyes that you suck up.
“Yeah.” Is all you manage, then it’s quiet as Satoru finishes the scan, as you’re eased out, he’s right there, unhooking you from the IV carefully, holding your arm and pressing a white square cotton to where he’d poked.
“You bleed a lot. Anemic?” He asks, and you should be surprised he knows, but he knows everything it seems.
“Just a bit, yes. I know, I should take my iron.”
“Mmm, anemia is pretty common in women, especially since I think all I see you eat is coffee. Maybe eat more? And add some protein?” He teases.
“I eat! But I’ll add some. Thank you, Dr. Gojo.” You take his hand to help you out of the little bed then, ignoring as much as you can how good his hands feel when he steadies you by your waist, warm and pressing against your skin. Your heart races as you look up at him. “Did you see anything interesting?”
His lips tense a bit, more serious now. “I saw a little interesting spot right there, but I wanna look at it more. I’ll call you to go over it in a few?”
“Sounds good, thank you.” You manage, you don’t know how much he’s hiding or what he’s found.
“Don’t stress, intern, I will tell you if it is, yeah?” You exhale, nodding, leaning up a bit, lashes lowered as you take in those perfect lips.
“If I’m gonna die-”
“Shut it. Now get to those rounds.” He whispers, breath so close you can taste it, minty always with the mints and gum he constantly chews.
“Got it Doc.” He snorts at you, fingers brushing your jaw line, as you contemplate his jaw line, so much more defined, his face is so chiseled… his body…
Fuck.
You clear your throat, smiling. “That’s much better. I’ll talk to you soon, don’t stress about it okay?”
Sure you won’t.
*****
“Maki, what if I die before interning is over?” You grumble next to your best friend as you all make the rounds, Maki snorts now.
“Gonna die of no Dr. Gojo dick?”
“Bitch shush!” She snorts as you look around wildly.
“No bitch, you shush. Why do you think you’re dying? I mean… we all are, but why so soon? You can’t die, I need to live with you.”
“You can have the house.”
“I still want you around!” You both pause in front of the patient’s door now, sighing and looking at each other. “Is something actually wrong?”
“I’m just panicking. I have some bad headaches… and did a CT.” You murmur, she frowns then, emerald eyes studying you seriously behind her black frames.
“Everything okay?” She asks, a little softer.
“I’m sure it is, I just panic when I don’t know the answers to things. Fuck… I could use some lorazepam in the arm.” You joke, she giggles with you.
“We all could, that’s for sure. Oh fuck… look.”
You take the chart from Maki then, raising your brows as you look at the patient’s records. “They’re blue?”
You both look at each other then eagerly pace to the room, where indeed there’s a young man, and he is in fact blue. He smiles a bit at you both, waving his silvery blue tinted fingers. “Hello ladies.”
“Hello.” You both say, looking at each other, then back at him. He laughs now, sighing.
“I know, I look like Papa Smurf.”
“No!” You say.
“Yes!” Maki says, and then the three of you burst out in laughter.
“At least you’re honest.” He muses, and the both of you approach him now, you take his hand and turn it over, seeing the palms were more of a typical color.
“When did this start happening?” You ask softly, Maki is checking his vitals, not hiding her curiosity.
“I’ve been blue for… probably a month. I’ve just hidden in my house.” You put aside the medical curiosity then, you feel the pain hidden in his voice. “Didn’t wanna scare the masses.”
“Anything in particular you consume? Colloidal Silver can cause this.” You say softly, he shakes his head then.
“I don’t think so? I’d know if I took silver, right?”
“Yes, it’s a supplement. Hmm… and anyone else in the family ever…”
“Turn blue?” He finishes. You nod. “No. Not that I know of?”
Maki and you look at each other, and you can almost hear the wheels turning in her head. You’re thinking it too, but it’s so rare and so weird.
“Methemoglobinemia?” She murmurs, and you tilt your head, sighing.
“I mean it’s possible, but that’s genetic, he’d have been blue. But let’s check for that and any potential exposures to chemicals that could cause this. It’s definitely not a typical case of methemoglobinemia, but we have to rule it out. Don’t worry, we’ll get you all figured out…” You check his name. “Muta, yeah?”
“Yeah. You mean I may not be blue anymore?”
“We’ll figure out what’s going on, I promise.” The door opens then, and Miwa comes in, gasping a bit, before smiling. Muta lights up when he sees her, his eyes glinting, you see it then, he has a crush.
“Your hair is the color of my skin, we’re meant to be.” Muta teases, Miwa laughs softly, coming in then as you two fill her in.
“Got it ladies, I’ll get these labs going.”
“Thanks Miwa.” You say, patting Muta’s shoulder. “We’ll get you back to normal, I promise.”
“Thank you, Doctor. And Doctor Maki.” She gives him a thumbs up, and you both walk out now, as the fluorescent lights make your headache worse. You wince now, rubbing your head again.
“Take a break babe, it’s okay. He’s not dying, he's just blue.” She says, as you are shaking your sore head now. Your phone goes off and you see it’s a text from your ex, you roll your eyes. “The ex?”
“Of course it is. Begging to see me over and over. I’m dreading the moment he comes to the house.”
“Shit, he’s really missing that coochie-”
“Maki!”
“It has cobwebs now.”
“You bitch!” You shove at her now, as Yuta and Toge walk up, both laughing at the two of you. Toge tilts his head when you rub your temples again.
“Hurt?” He asks quietly, you nod, sighing when his hand is on your forehead, you moan just slightly at how cool it feels.
“Feels so good.” You take his hand, pressing more, then feel him tense. You look up to see he’s bright red, and then he runs away. Your brows go together, as you blink in confusion, and Yuta covers his face, shaking his head.
“And you tease him! To torture him!” Yuta says, you glare then.
“What now!? His hand felt cool.” You grimace, leaning against the gray counter of the reception, as everyone flits back and forth by you.
“Hey you alright?” Yuta asks softer now, brushing back your hair.
“She’s got a nasty migraine again.” Maki murmurs, then comes with a little paper cup of water. “Drink babe.”
“Thank you.” You sip the cold water now, feeling it chill your lips and teeth. “Did I really upset Toge again?”
“He’s just in love with you, now you touched him. He’s going to be infatuated for days. I’ll have to hear.” Yuta winces now, you laugh, sucking in a breath as it starts to ache worse.
“He barely talks, how do you know?”
“It’s obvious. But you’re too into white haired doctors.” Maki whispers, earning a smack on her hand when she touches your forehead. “Hmm, no fever.”
Your phone goes off again, and thankfully it’s Gojo and not your annoying ass ex, you don’t need more of a headache. “Oh, he has results. I should go… can you-”
“We’ve got it, go.” Maki murmurs. You smile thankfully, heading towards Satoru’s office now. You knock carefully.
“Come on in.” You shut the door behind you, and Satoru smiles easily, calming your nerves somewhat.
“Come check out your brain, it’s pretty cool.” You laugh softly, and come to where he’s sitting, leaning over to peer at your brain on his laptop now. “So this… is what I think is causing your headaches.”
You look then to a little mass, panicking, damn near falling back, so much he has to catch you with his big hands. “A tumor!?”
“Calm down, no. Shh.” Satoru sits you right on his thigh then, brushing a hand down your back, tilting your chin to look at him. “I wouldn’t casually say ‘you have a tumor’ like that. Breathe.”
“Shit.” You take several breaths, leaning your head back, trying to compose yourself. “So what is that then?”
“Kind of a tumor?”
“Dr. Gojo!”
“I’ll explain if you calm down.” He presses his hands on your waist gently, pointing back to the screen. “So it’s something called a false tumor, it’s typically from head contusions. Bash your head on anything a couple years back?”
You steady your breathing now, trying to focus. “Shit, yeah I did. I was getting some things from the attic and had a whole bunch of old dvd players whack me in the head.”
“Ancient ass.” He teases.
“Hey I have VCRs up there too!”
“Fuck you’re old.”
“You’re old!” He’s chuckling now, and you can’t help but laugh softly. “You’re doing it again, cheering me up.”
“Yeah, and it worked.” He taps your nose, watching it scrunch, little crinkles on the sides of his own brilliant blue eyes as he smiles. You realize then, you don’t want to get off his lap, fuck you wanna stay here. You feel good here. His arm casually wrapped around you, and suddenly you realize your warmth on his thigh, gulping now. Did he notice!?
He notices everything.
“I should…” You go to stand, and he presses you back down, firm thigh between your thighs, pressing up where it shouldn’t through the thin fabric of your scrubs.
“You should stay, let me explain what it is. Yeah?” You nod a bit, realizing that for just a bit you couldn’t think about your head hurting, even as you all are staring right at a scan of your brain. Satoru uses one of his long fingers to point at the spot, where you see it raised up. “A false tumor.”
“False tumors, I haven’t heard much about them.”
“It’s essentially intercranial hypertension, which translates to your brain is stressy-stressy.” You snort in laughter then, and his hand far too casually brushes down the outside of your thigh as he leans forward, pressed so close against you.
“My brain is in fact stressy.”
“See! I’m so smart, admit it.” He grins deviously, you snort in laughter at him, shaking your head.
“A little bit.” You gesture, squishing just a bit of space between your finger and your thumb now.
“I’ll take it. So there’s no sense removing it, seeing as that’s just opening a can of worms. A spinal tap would help relieve the pressure.”
“Spinal tap, yuck.” He rolls his eyes.
“You’re a big baby.”
“Am not. But yuck. Anything else? Lots of tylenol?” You find yourself turning now, he’s pulled you further on his lap, it shouldn’t feel this easy, this normal. Why does your head hurting not even matter now that you’re so close to him, now that you inhale his cologne, feel his touch.
“That sounds like liver problems waiting.”
“Well my wine at night does that.” You say with a smile.
“A little wine is good for you. Blood flow.” Satoru murmurs, gently running his fingertips up and down your arms now, you tremble just a bit at it, at how good it feels, a network of goosebumps left in his wake. His blue eyes darken just a bit as he watches them form, and suddenly it’s very quiet.
“Blood flow is good.” You say softly, to fill the silence, where all you hear is the pounding in your ears. “So any option three?”
“I can inject you with something to help the pain, but you really can’t put off the tap too long. When do you actually get a break?”
“Um…” You try to focus. “I get Thanksgiving weekend off?”
“Okay we’ll do it around then.”
“You can’t just come do a tap on a holiday!”
“Sure I can, I’ll be here a couple hours anyway. But you’ll have to lie still for some time, so I just wanna make sure you have a day off.”
“Alright, the injections till then?”
“Mmhmm.” He’s closing the laptop now, and you hear your heartbeat just racing, blood pumping in your ears, Satoru raises a thin white brow. ��Are you alright?”
“It’s odd, the headache is gone when you… touch me. That sounds stupid, ugh.” You stand now, covering your face with a sigh. Satoru turns you so you’re right between his long legs now, hands firm on the curve of your hips.
“It doesn’t sound stupid. You’re getting endorphins from this.” He whispers now, so pretty this close he makes you ache, Maki is right maybe you do have cobwebs there, and his touch ignites your body. Like you’re on fire, especially when he cups your face.
“Satoru, what are we doing?” You whisper, he sighs, thumb brushing across your lower lip.
“Feeling things. You think too much. So dramatic, a fake tumor and alll.”
“Jerk!” You shove at him, unable to stop the grin from forming, craving his touch, more and more, when he pulls you flush against him you melt, hands bracing on his chest now, feeling the strong muscles flex under your touch.
“We should touch more if it helps your head.” His lips are right there, your noses touching as you hover, his snowy lashes lowering over dilated eyes, hands slipping up your back, one big one splaying the expanse of it. You press even closer, feeling the heat in your tummy building. Fuck would it hurt to just-
Suddenly both of your pagers go off. “Shit, code blue.”
“Shit.” Satoru and you both jump up now, rushing out into the busy hallway, you both round the corner, the chaos of the ER coming into view. Nurses and doctors moved with a choreographed precision, each step calculated and deliberate, as one of your patients from this week is in cardiac arrest.
“Shit shit shit.” You mutter under your breath, you rush in to see one of your elderly patients this morning now flat lining. You quickly begin compressions, pressing over and over as Satoru runs in, looking at the clipboard, studying you. “We need epi!” You say to the nurse, and Satoru stops her. “Satoru!”
“DNR, intern.” He turns the paper and shows you, the giant three letters, you gasp then, looking down at the lady you are working on.
“She has kids, she has-”
“She has a choice. Off now.”
You release her now, feeling tears flow as you watch the monitor completely flatline now, you remember her kids were literally just here, with her grandkids. She was laughing, smiling. You almost thought she was doing better…
“Intern, call time of death.” Satoru says.
You scowl at him through your tears, even if you know he’s right, and he sets his lips in a firm line. You see Maki, Yuta and Toge right outside the room, their eyes looking at you with concern, with worry. “Time of death is five- fifty- one PM.”
The nurse nods and writes it down, and you carefully cover the patient with one of the thin hospital sheets. “You can’t save everyone, you know.”
“I know, I know.” You choke up then, that headache right back, making you feel sick. “But to not save someone I could?”
“Her choice was to go. She’s been in pain a long time.” Satoru says, coming to stand next to you now, you feel bile rise in your throat.
“She seemed so happy today, so energetic even!?”
“Sometimes you get that burst of energy at the end. Maybe it’s… a bigger plan out there, to give your family something of what you used to be at the end.” You look at him through watery eyes, just exhausted.
Finger surgery.
A blue man.
Your own CT scan.
Some false tumor?
Now a death.
You want to go home. You want to lay in bed, curled in a ball in the dark, where maybe your head won’t pound. You want to throw up. You want to sleep for fucking days, trying to just not think. You want to just…
“Martha, her name was Martha.” You say now, and Satoru nods, a hand on your shoulder.
“Her name was Martha. Do you want me to tell the family?”
“No, she’s my patient. I will.” He nods then, eyes following you as you stiffly walk out, Maki, Yuta and Toge all come to you, but you hold a hand up. You’re barely keeping it together as it is, if one of them hugs you, you know you’ll fall apart. “I’m fine you all, promise.”
As you tell the family she passed, instead of the typical extreme upset, they almost seem a bit relieved, upset but relieved. “She was in so much pain, I think now… she’s free of it. Do you?” Martha’s son asks, and you struggle to hold you composure, feeling your stomach want to retch it’s contents, which were literally just coffee and a fucking croissant from this morning.
“She’s not in pain anymore.” You agree softly, and Martha’s granddaughter, about your age comes next to her dad now, looking at him, then you.
“Did she seem peaceful?” She asks softly, you nod then, giving a touch of comfort to her shoulder.
“She did, she seemed so happy to have been with you all I think. You may see her if you wish to.”
“We would like that. Thank you.” After they walk out you watch them pass by Satoru, who has his eyes on you.
You can’t let him see you so weak! You shouldn’t be so weak, you’re a doctor, you see death every single day. You rush into the locker room, thankfully finding it empty, before heading to the bathroom, leaning in and emptying the contents of your stomach, retching everything out. You get so weak as you do, dry heaving then as you feel yourself falling apart.
You’re sobbing over the toilet, flushing it, when you hear the door open and close, and suddenly you feel hands on your back. You shake your head, taking several breaths. “Go away, it’s gross.”
“You just cleaned out fingers that were cut off.” Satoru says softly, you laugh then, in between tears, as he holds your hair back for you. “Aw it’s like we’re besties, just having drinks you know.”
“Oh stop it. I’d kiss you if I didn’t just puke.”
“Please don’t, I don’t like you that much.” You laugh once more, before bursting into tears, and Satoru holds you, brushing your hair gently as you cling to him. “It’s normal to break down, surprised it took you so long. Been months.”
“I want to keep it together. I want to so badly.” You’re soaking his light purple scrub top, you see the blotches of tears forming as you cry more, letting him hold you. “Why are you so…”
“So handsome? So smart?”
“So comfy.”
“Huh, didn’t expect that one. Calling me fat, brat?” You giggle again, looking up at him now, his pretty face swims with how many tears you have.
“Not at all, no body fat on you. Just… comfortable I guess.” Your hand rests right over his heart, feeling it steady under you, trying to make your heart match, to slow your breathing down. Maki walks in then, kneeling quickly, brushing your hair back.
“Baby, you okay?” She asks softly, and you manage a weak little nod, as she kisses your head. “You’ve had a long day.”
“We all do, I shouldn’t act like this.”
“Babe we all puked at some point. Yuta was the first day.”
“He’s got a weak stomach, that one.” Satoru says, then looks at you and Maki with a little smile. “Maki, stay with her for a bit, I’ll get her some zofran, and I’ll get you something for the headache, yeah?”
You nod weakly, holding his hand then. “Thank you.” You say, he runs a thumb over your knuckles and just stands then, heading out. Maki cups your face carefully, studying you.
“You okay? Seriously.”
“I have some… fake tumor thing.” She gasps. “No, no, it’s fake. I don’t know… Satoru said maybe a spinal tap?”
“Satoru huh. Chummy.” You roll your eyes, sniffling as she helps you up. “Let’s brush your teeth, you don’t wanna kiss your doctor like this.”
“Maki, I can't kiss him. I can’t be with him.” You choke up once more.
“Just stay careful and sure you can. Do you think he’s serious though, or is it one of his… what do you call them?”
“Hojo moments.” You brush your teeth in the sink, grimacing at your appearance, you have mascara streaked under the dark circles of your eyes.
“Hojo moments… well about Miwa, seems like her and Papa Smurf are actually hitting it off. He’s hot now that his blue is fading.”
You perk up now, brows raising. “The blue is fading!?”
“Mmhmm, your first guess of methemoglobinemia was correct. Does that make you feel better maybe?” Maki’s eyes are concerned, you nod then, making her smile return just a bit. “Knew it, Miss know it all.”
“That’s you!” You spit out toothpaste, rinsing your mouth out now, as both of you laugh. The alarm goes off, your shift is done. “How’d it not present itself for so long I wonder?”
“I’m wondering the same thing. Already started the Methylene blue and Insane doses of Vitamin C. It’ll take a bit but he’ll be normal soon.” You wash up your face now, dabbing the bits of mascara off.
“One good thing today.”
“Two good things.” Satoru says, as you and Maki head to the locker room. “The finger surgery seems successful so far, we’ll keep him and monitor, but he could feel them.” You grin at that, at least something was going good today, aside from the ever more comfortable presence of Doctor Gojo.
“That is good news!”
“Now have a seat, let me make you feel good.” He teases with a grin, Maki snorts then, heading to her locker.
“Let me get out of here first, god.” You stick your tongue out, as Maki is sliding off her scrub top.
“I should get out of these real quick too if that’s okay? Before you poke me.” You say, he nods then, setting down the two vials.
“Let’s all get naked then, ladies.”
“Oh jesus.” Maki is dressed quickly, sliding her jacket on while Satoru is undressing, she sees him shirtless then and gives you an audacious wink, earning another eye roll from you. “Is she good to drive Dr. Hunk?”
“She’ll be fine from it, don’t worry. If not, I'll take her home. Having a drink after work anyway.” Maki pats your head once more, kissing your forehead then.
“See you home then. Night Dr. Hunk.” Satoru is giving some smoldering look that makes you and Maki both almost pee your pants, as she leaves you both alone now. Satoru has slid into a soft long sleeve black shirt and dark jeans, as you’ve gotten into your own clothes, you keep your jacket off, sitting on the bench and holding your arm out now.
“It needs to get injected in your ass.” He says then, and you gasp, making him grin wide.
“No way!”
“Yes way. Not the zofran, that’s just a little pill. Open up, pretty.” You open your mouth now, and he places the little pill under your tongue, gently closing your mouth with his fingers pressing your chin up.
“Fuck I hope it works quick.” You sigh as it dissolves, Satoru nods and tears open the package now, grinning like a devious ass devil. “You really gotta do this in my ass cheek!?”
“I really do. I’ll be completely professional, no worries.”
“Uh-huh sure. Well… alright then.” You turn now, unzipping your jeans and pulling them down, revealing your ass cheeks and your panties. He whistles, a hand coming to trace the bottom of them now, making your tummy clench with desire from just that. “So professional.”
“I need the panties off.”
“You do not. Dr. Pervert.”
“I’m Dr. Hojo and Dr. Pervert now?”
“Mmhmm. Fine, you little shit.” You slide down your panties completely, and his breath catches as he sees you, suddenly he’s quiet, then he’s bending down to sit on the bench, turning your now bare ass to him.
“You hiding that ass in your scrubs is such a crime.” You shake your head, ignoring how good his touch feels, even as he’s dabbing an alcohol pad on it, his breath against your skin does insane things, you have trouble forming a word.
“Your flattery works on those girls because you’re hot, not because you have any rizz, you’re so rizzless.”
“Rizzless my ass.”
“Ow!” Satoru has jabbed the shot in your ass cheek then, it stings and burns, you cry out, nearly jerking, so he holds you still with a hand on your hip. “You jabbed it hard on purpose!”
“Aw, need me to take it easy when I stick it in, baby?”
“Oh fuck off! Oh… I… mmm…” Suddenly the headache you’ve had all damn day is easing, you sigh now, feeling so blissful you can ignore the fact that your ass stings. You ease your panties up now, then your jeans, sighing as you turn to him, they’re still unbuttoned and unzipped, his eyes are locked right on you. “That felt so good, thank you Satoru.”
“You’re welcome, intern.” He murmurs, softly, watching you zip up your jeans and button them. “You’ll still need the tap, it’ll help for months.”
“I will. Thank you for everything today, really.” You cup his face now, before thinking better of it, pressing your lips against his softly. “A thank you kiss.”
“Can I get a thank you hand job? I’m having an issue.” You shake your head with a laugh, running your fingers through his soft hair.
“Absolutely not. But you can buy me a drink.” You grab your jacket and slide it on, and he eagerly hops up.
“Yeah?” His blue eyes light up, melting you further.
“Yeah. I’ll meet you there, Dr. Pervert.” You grab your keys, but Gojo passes you quickly as you all walk out, opening your door before he runs off to the car, making you giddier than you’d admit.
*****
“You’re drinking the fruitiest drink they make.” You say later on, as you both are sitting at the bar, and the bartender hands you a cosmopolitan cocktail, and hands Satoru a Sex on the Beach.
“Lemme enjoy my sex mmkay?” You go to pay and he stops you. “Put it on my tab please, and a tip for now.” Satoru hands the bartender cash, he smiles at the two of you.
“Anything you all want, fruitier even.” You both laugh now, and Satoru and you go find a little table on the side of the bar towards the window, you sit and sip on your drink as your phone buzzes away. You swipe it off.
“Annoying ex?” Satoru asks, leaning back as he looks at you.
“He’s so annoying. It’s been months of me ignoring him, you would think he’d get the hint.”
“And you don’t date now?”
“Um… it’s hard to think about dating with our hours, you know?” He nods then, pouty lips encircling a straw as he sucks up more of his drink, and you wonder at how Satoru makes everything look sexy. “Do you date?”
He flicks his gaze up and down your body slowly, leisurely, as if he’s caressing you with his look. “Are you asking me out, intern?”
“Oh whatever, you asked me!”
“I don’t date right now, no, but I guess I have different reasons.” He murmurs, looking off to the window for a moment.
“Would you date? No, I'm not asking you out.” You say, studying him as he licks his lower lip, drawing your attention further to things you shouldn’t.
“I would, I’m not against it, I guess no one has sparked my interest enough. I mean aside from physically.”
“Any crazy exes?”
“I have an evil ex, actually. She’s scary.” He shivers now, you tilt your head curiously, sipping your own drink, feeling the warmth flow through you.
“Is she now? Like mean?”
“She’s mean alright. We just didn’t work out, our parents pushed us to get married too young, prominent families this and that. But we never even liked each other, she was pretty happy to divorce me. And I was too.” You digest the information slowly, mouth opening just slightly. “Yeah, I was married.”
“I didn’t expect that. You seemed like a bachelor, I guess.”
“I am about to be thirty four, you think I was single this long? Nah, I’m too handsome, baby.”
“Not your baby.” You kick at his feet, but he just grips your thigh now, burning over the layer of denim, and you wish it were on your skin instead.
“Not yet. You’re in love with me already, you just don’t know.”
“Oh am I?” He’s leaning closer across from you, blue eyes glittering in the dim lights of the busy bar.
“Mhm, you are. It’s okay, everyone falls in love with me.”
“You’re so loveable, so humble.”
“I know I am… hey.” You giggle now, smacking his hand off, finishing your little martini off and exhaling.
“I needed this, ugh… thank you Satoru.” He smiles a bit, finishing his as well now. “Your wife was… well, you’re not a guy you leave.”
Shit, you said that.
You cover your face then at his look of surprise. “I’m sorry-”
“Why apologize for that? Sounded like a compliment. But she left for good reasons, we hated each other and were miserable. She still hates me still, but we’re more friendly now. Your boyfriend, did he leave you?”
“No, I left him. He was too controlling and I just… wasn’t feeling it. It sounds so silly compared to an entire marriage.”
“Nah, not at all.”
“I also just put med school first, I really did. I don’t think I gave him the attention he needed. So it’s on me a bit.”
“That’s mature as fuck.” You shrug a bit.
“Well, we had a drink, hmm?”
“Let’s have two?” You sigh, leaning forward on the table, elbow propped up, chin in your hand as you study the handsome man across from you.
“Two sounds like my resolve slips.” You say softly, Satoru leans forward as well, brushing your hair behind your ear, every touch and look making you weaker and weaker for him.
“Would that be so bad, intern? To let go.” You exhale now, leaning into the caress, lashes fluttering shut and casting shadows on your cheeks as he studies you for a moment.
“I have a feeling it would be hard to let you go.”
“Yeah, what if I bust quick? Have a small dick?” You burst into laughter now, and he pouts. “Maybe it is small, meanie.”
“That’s the other rumor, Gojo, that your dick is huge.” He blushes a bit, surprising you. “Oh you didn’t know that one! Shit.”
“I mean I’m not complaining but god, girls are gossipy.”
“Like you’re not!”
“Another drink?” He asks, standing up then, your gaze trails up his lithe, long body, as you feel the warmth spread through you.
“One more.” You agree, and he holds out his hand for you to stand, bringing you almost against him, knowing you’re teetering on the edge of a dangerous game, and when you both grab your next drink, Miwa walks in now, she pauses for a moment, before waving at the two of you and coming over.
“Dr. Gojo, I never see you at the spot.” She says, and for some reason you get nervous, looking down a bit.
“Yeah I decided she wouldn’t meet me for a date so I’d connive her into meeting me here at least.” He ruffles your hair and you huff, fixing it, ignoring the pounding in your heart at how good it felt to hear.
“A date?”
“Well, a pre date. Just a drink but she blew me off.”
“I really didn’t mean to. Um… is this weird or anything Miwa?” You ask nervously, she shakes her head with a little smile.
“Oh no, you’re fine. What you saw um… let’s just say I was having a bad day is all. We’re not together.”
“Heard you like Papa Smurf?” Gojo teases, she smacks at him then.
“He’s sweet. And less blue. Oh, my friends are here! See you two later.” She says, you watch her curiously, and Satoru is smirking down at you.
“Not everyone has to be dating or have feelings. You’re like some eighteen-hundreds Victorian lady.”
“Am not!” You’re laughing again as you all sip another drink, sitting side by side now, your phone goes off again now and you roll your eyes.
“Send him a pic of us together.”
“Shit that’s mean.”
“He’s a dick though? Yeah?”
“You tell me.” You lean close now, showing him the endless texts. Satoru whistles as he reads them, scrolling up.
“Shit, gaslight much?”
“The king. Fuck you smell good.” Your alcohol is clearly hitting, Satoru chuckles once more, hand stroking up and down your spine carefully.
“You smell good, sweet like lavender.” He speaks right against your ear, tickling it as he inhales now, sighing. “I noticed you switched shampoo back.”
“Hush, it wasn't because of you.”
“Of course not.”
You have the most fun you can remember, fuck when don’t you enjoy Satoru Gojo? When he’s walking you over to your truck, and the music is just a low hum now, though you feel it pulsing through your body, Satoru’s pressing your back against the car door, hands on either side of the top of your car, hard body so good against you. You bite your lower lip, hands sliding down his jacket.
“You want me so bad, you love to fight it. Why?” Satoru says softly, cupping your face with one hand now, leaning low.
“I don’t wanna be a notch in Dr. Hojo’s bed post.” You say softly. “I’m not judging, but I don’t wanna be just that to someone. I totally was going to at the party, ugh, but it’s not me. So, I fight it.”
“I have a feeling if I got you, I wouldn’t want more notches.” His thumb strokes your lip side to side, eliciting a little cry from the back of your throat that you can’t quite stop before it comes out.
“You think so, hmm?”
“Judging by your hot, sweet little pussy, yes.” Your cunt throbs around goddamn nothing, reacting to his words, to him pressing you further against your big old SUV, the cool metal against your back. “Those sounds you make…”
“Fuck… kiss me.”
“You’re demanding. And confusing, you know that?” His soft words are right against your lips, you cry out then, pulling him down as you tiptoe, kissing him over and over, mouth moving over his, his tongue slipped in between your lips. Your tongue slips around his, dancing then, as his big hands grip your waist.
Your hands slide up his chest, entwining around his neck, breasts pressing against his hard abdomen, nipples growing tight as desire fills you more and more. He grabs one of them now, thumb brushing over a peak, eliciting a whimper, your head falling back now, neck begging for his kisses. Satoru’s kissing your neck and grabbing your breast right in front of a damn bar.
It’s insane.
It’s stupid.
Right?
“Fuck I want to feel you again.” His husky voice melts you now, you’re now whining for more and more, pathetic for him, were you worried too much, could you just do this, just have sex? Did there have to be such complicated shit you always put on yourself? “You’re thinking too much.”
“How do you know?” Your words are against his ear now, as you flick your tongue on the earlobe, nipping just a bit.
“I just know, and you need to just feel.” He’s sliding his hand under your shirt, across your tummy, making it tremble under his touch, goosebumps rising. “How’s it feeling, pretty?”
“Feels… fucking good.” He chuckles deeply, as you breathlessly laugh, kissing him over and over. “But I usually need things to mean something. I know I’m lame.”
“That’s not lame.” He cups your face with both hands now, blue eyes boring into yours, the soft glow of the street lights ensconcing him, making him look even more handsome somehow. Even prettier. “It means something when I’m kissing you.”
You feel everything react to him, to his words. “It does?” He nods then, nuzzling your noses together, and his phone goes off, he sighs, scowling at it now.
“The ex?”
“Nah, parents. Worse. Say… you wanna pretend we date so I can bring a girl home for Thanksgiving?”
“What now?” You blink up at him.
“Yeah… they really want me to bring a girl home. You’re perfect too, they’d fucking love if I brought a top notch Kyoto Med school grad?”
“Oh gosh… I mean, I have no plans?”
“Perfect. It will make my mom so damn happy, she’ll love you. Aw we’re moving so fast you know.” He’s grinning wolfishly, eyes glinting down at you.
You love the idea far, far too much. “Alright, a good spinal tap and then I’m a whole Thanksgiving date.”
“Works perfectly for me. Good night, intern.” Satoru kisses you one more time, leaving you breathless.
“Good night, Dr. Gojo.” You slide into your car, covering your face and squealing then, yes you’re squealing like you’re fifteen again, not a twenty six year old doctor. “His kisses…” You squeal again, overheated as you go to start your car with a roar then, hating that you’re like some lovesick teenager.
Then you see him.
Satoru Gojo grinning as he watches you through your window. You gasp, sputtering, limbs flailing as you scream out, rolling down the window then, glaring right at him. “What the fuck!”
“Aw, you do love me. Already. So easy, intern.” Satoru teases, leaning in then, far too close.
“Whatever! Good night Dr. Gojo.”
“You-”
“Bye!” You leave then, catching his reflection in your rearview, stupid giddy grin on your damn face.
Shit this is gonna be messy.
So a LOT in this, I really want to explain how it would be to have SO much going on during a typical day, I hope it doesn't overwhelm her and Dr. Hojo's connection. We will be learning a lot more about Reader's ex and Satoru's ex soon <3
A/N: Totally added my own prob as a medical thing lol ( false brain tumor) they're rare and interesting. I love you all and can't wait to hear your thoughts!!!

It's 8 PM. I am listening to Frank Sinatra. And Jing Yuan makes me emotional therefore, I need to write some shit down. When will I ever write for any other HSR character that's not him???
Jing Yuan, a long living species, who falls for a regular human. A short living species.
He is a man who is able to play the waiting game, he is that kind of person who can and is willing to analyze every single possible move his enemy, or ally, can and is willing to make. Centuries of long and hard battles have desensitized him to certain brutality. Now, he is not some beast who is not capable of compassion but when you've lost so much, it's only natural for your heart to harden.
That is why the realization that he cannot play the waiting game with you dawns on him.
You may stand by his side now but where will you be in the next 10 years? The next 50 years? A century means nothing to him. It will all go away in the blink of an eye, forgotten and unnecessary.
His heart sinks at the thought of you not being with him. The way in which you coo after him, it gives him a reason to actually enter his office and leave it with a smile on his face. Who will be there for that cheeky little Cloud Knight of his when he's feeling pouty? Who will be there to smack Jing Yuan back to his senses as he takes yet another unnecessary nap?
One day, you will grow old and he will stay the same as he is. He will hold you in his arms and weep as he watches the life leave your eyes for good. Jing Yuan will be forced to watch the final piece of his heart be ripped away from him, stolen by cruel destiny. He could already taste the blood in his mouth as he bites back a scream of pain.
Curse the Abundance. Curse the entire Universe for taking you away from him. Curse your silly mortality, curse the fact that you were so perfect to begin with.
That is precisely why right now, he must have you. He takes you away and locks you in some private estate, where you can be safe. The thought of making you a long living species is tempting but he is not sure if he's willing to play that card.
You scream sometimes. You weep and cry to please let you go, that you love him but that this is not alright. And Jing Yuan can do nothing but to kiss your forehead and mumble sweet nothings in your ear.
He may perhaps even marry you in secret. If he does, his wedding ring would never come off his finger, not even after your passing. This sparks so many rumors on the Lofu but Jing Yuan does not acknowledge them. He is the only one who needs to know the true meaning of the ring.
Jing Yuan is not ready for your death. He may try to prepare but really, who is ever ready for something so painful?
He sits quietly next to you, the sheets beneath you all silk and perfection. The room reeks of medicine and flowers but it is missing the bright sound of your laughter. You are gone. Jing Yuan bites the inside of his cheek as he thinks of funeral arrangements.
But it's so hard to concentrate if his vision is filled with black spots.
Jing Yuan stands up, his feet shaky, his soul shattered. His heart is either dead or dying because you took it with you, wherever you may be. The General can feel the walls around him tightening, the air in his lungs knocked out as the floor is suddenly covered in golden leaves.
Ah, they look pretty. You would have liked those indeed. Jing Yuan reaches towards them, a long, ink black talon gently picks it off the marble floor as his long white hair covers his face.
Odd, he thinks to himself. His hands never looked so black before.
A nearby caw of a raven breaks him out of his trance as Jing Yuan looks to his left, where a massive mirror hangs. He is greeted with something that should horrify him, something that should make him weep but he has no tears left to shed.
The Mara is taking over him. It is too late to fix him.
Maybe, just maybe, the General of the Lofu does not want to be fixed. Perhaps he can be slain in battle and be reunited with you in the afterlife. Would you be happy to see him? Would you hold him in your arms, play with his hair and sing him songs in the quiet evening?
Perhaps you wouldn't show him such kindness. After all, he has hurt you in so many ways. He does not deserve your love. But he can't help but to reach out for it.
A final tear cascades down his pale cheek as Jing Yuan smiles at his reflection. A maid opens the door behind him and lets out a loud scream, her eyes shaking in fear as she witnesses the General transforming into the same kind monster he swore he would keep in check. Jing Yuan sighs as he feels his heart beat, for the final time.
He was coming to see you. He was going to see you again. He was ready to grovel and beg as much as necessary, if it meant that you would be by his side. Yes, that truly was a pleasant thought. You and him, together as the sun sets. He can still see the faint glimmer of the golden ring on his finger, his eternal promise to you. It shines like a lonely star in a massive galaxy, with no way to protect itself.
However, not even stars can live forever.
And just like that, the world goes dark.

This world needs more bowsareach! So here's a little something I wrote for them! (It was part of a bigger fic I didn't finish, but it doesn't need context)
Mario was starting to think that all the “hero” thing made him forgot how to deal with mundane challenges.
He realized that when he saw himself using the cat-bell to climb up the wall and get a book from the top of the shelf. And when he tried to explain the claw marks to Peach, saying, “but what ELSE could I have done?” Her answer was silently pointing to a chair.
Bowser thought this was all hilarious, of course. And Mario had to remind him of who breathed fire into the oven when it wouldn’t turn on. And the reason they had to eat microwaved food for a week.
It was just a simple memory of some random day, but it made Mario feel so nostalgic. Their little home, hidden in a hill on the edge of the kingdom and accessible through a warp pipe they built, was no less than a dream come true.
After all, dating two monarchs meant that the three of them couldn’t simply rent an apartment together. Peach had to stay at her castle, and Bowser, at his, and when they eventually arranged the marriage that would unite the two kingdoms, it would be time to live together and Mario would come along.
But for now, the three of them settled in getting a little house to be the place they could run away to when Peach and Bowser got a moment of peace. It was great, especially when they managed to spend a whole weekend there.
Mario had the time of his life watching The Royals get used to the cottage. Peach, as a regent who always placed herself at the same level of her people and hated to be perceived as superior, gave her best to act naturally, so Mario tried to hide his laughter when they sat down to eat and her face just read “Oh, indeed, this table has but four chairs and doesn’t occupy the whole room.” He could see her dying inside a bit when all the plates and cups got too cramped up.
Bowser, on the other hand, being made of ego as he was, absolutely made sure he was seen as superior by his subjects (which never prevented him from being a caring ruler, going personally to a civilian’s house if they had any trouble, and screw his schedule). So he didn’t even pretend to be comfortable there. It was such an ordeal to prevent him from turning the house into a second palace. The most that Mario and Peach gave in was to make a living room big enough to fit a grand piano. Even so, he complained at every possible time about the house’s size.
“Pff. The fifty-second heir to the mighty koopa empire, living on an ant’s house like this… Of course, we left it to Mario to lead the project. He measured the house based on his own size.”
And Mario simply answered by sitting on the table in front of him. “Truly, I am so very small.” He placed Bowser’s hand on his back. “Look, I even fit on this huge and scary koopa’s hand. Oh, my stars! I sure do hope he doesn’t take advantage of all this size to grab me and kidnap me to some dark castle. Poor me!”
His voice was casually innocent, and Bowser’s face was on fire since he was still a mess whenever Mario and Peach gave him attention like that (and the two of them abused the heck out of it).
“Don’t you tempt me, plumber.” Bowser warned, holding his breath.
“Your hand is still around me.”
“…”
“Oh, no! That terrible monster is kidnapping my Mario!” Peach entered the room, and Mario fondly smiled with the “my”, dumb as their playing was. “Will I have to rescue him? But what if he kidnaps me, too?” She threw herself at Bowser with a hand dramatically at her forehead.
“STOP THAT!” Bowser jumped out of the chair, like Mario and Peach were contagious. “You two, you’re… you’re unfair, that’s what you are!”
“Weeeeeee?” They got closer, blinking innocently at the koopa, who got all the more red.
“…Dddddon’t you blame me when I actually kidnap you.” He turned to leave, visibly wanting to die in some corner and regain his dignity before he could even think about flirting back. And hit the doorframe with his shoulder. “STUPID small house! That’s YOUR fault, Mario!” They heard, as he ran to the room. And just laughed together.
“I definitely won’t mind if he goes through with this threat.” Mario smirked. “What about you, Peaches?”
“Not at all.” She agreed, before placing herself in front of her boyfriend, pinning him to the table with both arms. “Just beware, or I might take you first, sweetie.”
And she kissed his nose. Yeah, he’d definitely not mind that too.

I’ll still fight every day. For them.
A dad!Vander fic (with my og character, Luna, Vander's fifth adopted child)
Set around Act 1.1.
Masterlist: there you go
Disclaimer: english ain't my first language folks
Vander's dreams were a fragmented chaos of faces, laughter, and screams.
He saw Vi’s fiery determination while he taught her to fight, Powder’s infectious giggle as she sat on a barstool in front of him sipping on a cup of juice, Mylo’s smirk as he showed him his most recent prize from a trip to Piltover, Claggor’s steady gaze on him as he taught him how to repair an engine, and Luna’s sleepy smile as she told him goodnight after tucking her in.
But then the visions darkened. Their faces twisted with fear, shadows consumed them, and he could do nothing but watch as the world he built for them crumbled.
He woke drenched in sweat, his chest heaving. The room around him was dim, lit only by the eerie, flickering glow of violet vials lined on shelves. The faint hum of machinery buzzed in the background, making his head throb. His body felt heavy, his limbs unfamiliar, as if something unnatural coursed through them.
Panic set in when the memories started piecing themselves together. The bridge. Silco. The fight. The fire. His body hitting the ground.
I should be dead.
He tried to sit up but groaned in pain, the movement sending shocks through his nerves. Restraints dug into his wrists. He looked down and saw faint, glowing veins snaking up his forearms.
“What is this?” he muttered, his voice hoarse.
Wait.
Where were his girls? Were they safe? Vi, Powder, Luna. After what had happened to Mylo and Claggor… His heart ached with familiar yet still fierce pain.
He had to get out of there and get to his girls.
The door creaked open. A man entered, his silhouette framed against the harsh light of the corridor behind him. The doctor approached, clipboard in hand, his one visible eye gleaming with calculated curiosity.
“You’re awake,” Vander recognized him. It was Singed, his tone clinical, devoid of empathy.
“What…” Vander’s voice cracked. “What have you done to me?”
Singed tilted his head, observing him like a specimen under a microscope. “You were dying. No—dead. But I salvaged you. You’re… a unique case.”
Vander yanked against the restraints, fury and desperation surging through him. “Salvaged? What for? Where are my kids? What happened to them?” His voice rose with each word, the weight of his body no longer the only thing crushing him.
Singed didn’t flinch. “You were exposed to a significant dose of Shimmer during your final moments. Your body responded… unusually well. I’ve continued the process. For science, of course.”
“For science?” Vander growled. His voice was raw, a mix of anger and fear. “I’m not some experiment, and I sure as hell didn’t ask for this. Tell me where my kids are!”
Singed’s expression didn’t change, but there was a pause, a hesitation, as if weighing how much to reveal. “Your children… I do not know their current whereabouts. The boy with the goggles and the thin one—they didn’t survive.”
Mylo. Claggor. He’d seen it in his dreams, but hearing it confirmed sent a bolt of grief and guilt through him. He had failed them. He had failed all of them.
“I cannot say about the others,” added Singed. “I am not privy to their fates. My concerns lie here, with you.”
Vander snarled, yanking at the restraints again, adrenaline overriding the pain. “I don’t care about your damn concerns! You stole me away, turned me into… into this! And for what? Some twisted experiment?”
Singed stepped closer, unbothered by Vander’s outburst. “You are valuable. An anomaly. I am seeking answers—ones that could change the very fabric of life and death. If successful, the knowledge gained here could bring back those you’ve lost… perhaps even your children.”
Vander glared at him, the weight of those words sinking in, fuelling his anger.
“And if you fail?” he asked bitterly.
Singed’s gaze was steady, almost cold. “Then you are merely another step closer to understanding.”
The weight of despair was unbearable. Vander slumped back against the bed, his body trembling from exhaustion and the war raging in his mind. He didn’t know what hurt more: the knowledge that he was alive while his boys were gone or the uncertainty of whether the girls he’d sworn to protect were safe.
“I’ll find them,” he murmured, more to himself than to Singed. “I’ll get out of here… And I’ll find my girls.”
Singed raised a brow, his expression unreadable. “You will not. I saved you from death to serve a greater purpose. Your path and theirs have diverted, and will not cross anymore.”
The words were a dagger in Vander’s chest, but he refused to let the despair consume him. He gritted his teeth, glaring at the doctor with every ounce of defiance he could muster.
“What purpose can be greater than the one of a man trying to get back to his daughters?” he growled.
“The one of a father trying to safe his daughter from death.” Singed answered, coldly.
He moved then quick, injecting something in Vander’s arm that put him to sleep after a few seconds of blurry visions and distant echoes of the sounds around him.
The fevered haze of Shimmer and whatever Singed had put in his veins brought dreams that felt too vivid to be mere imagination. Vander saw Vi first, standing tall and proud in the Last Drop, her fists clenched and a determined fire in her eyes. “You’re supposed to protect us!” she yelled, her voice cracking. Behind her, the shadows of Mylo and Claggor faded into smoke, their faces etched with betrayal.
Then came Powder, her blue hair streaked with soot, tears running down her cheeks as she clutched a shattered monkey toy. “You left us,” she whimpered. “Why didn’t you stop them?”
The dreams shifted to Luna. She was sitting alone in the basement, looking tiny than ever, hugging her knees as the rain poured outside. Her small voice broke through the sound of the storm: “I waited for you,” she said, in a small voice, tears streaming from her eyes, scared from the thunder outside he couldn’t protect her from anymore. “Why didn’t you come back?”
Each dream ended the same way: Vander reaching for them, only for their faces to dissolve into the blackness, leaving him screaming into the void.
He woke up screaming, alone in the same room.
It went on like that forever. At least it felt as if. Vander didn’t regain full consciousness until after a few more rounds of nightmares and memories combined that ended with him in tears wanting, no, needing to reach out to his children but being unable to do so.
Singed was working on a table close by when Vander spoke up:
“You said you’re doing this for your daughter,” he began, his voice rough, weak.
Singed didn’t turn around, but he answered. “And if I am?”
Vander’s eyes were fixed on him as he kept on talking, breathing heavily. “Why me? What makes me worth the trouble?”
Singed paused his movements, as if debating how much to reveal. “Your body showed resilience to Shimmer that I’ve never seen before. You are… an anomaly. If I can replicate what you are, I might be able to achieve something far greater. To bring her back.”
Vander narrowed his eyes. “Your daughter… she’s gone?”
“Yes,” Singed said bluntly. “But not forever. I will find a way.”
“And you think turning me into some monster is the answer?” Vander snapped. “She wouldn’t want this—none of them would!”
Singed tilted his head, his expression thoughtful. “You assume to know what a daughter would want, what lengths she would forgive. But tell me this: what wouldn’t you do to see your daughters again?”
Vander froze. The question hit too close to home, stirring the buried storm of guilt and desperation in his chest. He closed his eyes, seeing Vi, Powder, and Luna’s faces in his mind, their smiles, hearing their laughs resonating inside his head. The only thing keeping his sanity intact, for now.
“I’d do anything,” he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “But not like this.”
Singed regarded him with something almost akin to pity. “Then you lack the resolve necessary to truly save them.”
Vander’s eyes snapped open, blazing with fury. “No. I have the resolve to fight for them. To protect them. That’s what a father does. And you? You’re just a coward hiding behind your experiments.”
For the first time, Singed’s mask slipped, the words striking a nerve. But he said nothing, merely turning to leave the room.
When Singed began experimenting more on Vander, the dreams became more vivid, but also more horrid.
He was back in the Last Drop, the bar lively but not chaotic, warm light spilling across the wooden floors. Vi sat on the counter, swinging her legs as she polished one of the mugs with a towel too large for her hands.
“You’re doing it wrong,” Vander teased, leaning against the counter.
Vi stuck her tongue out at him. “Maybe you’re just too picky.”
Powder was on the floor nearby, constructing something out of scraps and gears she’d scavenged from the streets. “It’s gonna be a bird,” she said proudly, holding up a half-finished contraption. “It’ll flap its wings when it’s done!”
“Looks great, kiddo,” Vander said with a chuckle, ruffling her hair as he passed.
Luna was at the far end of the bar, perched on a stool much too big for her, her feet dangling as she coloured on a piece of parchment. She looked up at him with a bright smile. “I made this for you, Daddy!” she exclaimed, holding up a crude but heartfelt drawing of their family—him, Vi, Powder, Claggor, Mylo, and herself.
Vander’s chest swelled with pride and love as he knelt beside her to take the drawing. “It’s perfect,” he said, his voice thick with emotion. He kissed her cheek and she giggled when his beard scratched her soft skin. “Best thing I’ve ever seen.”
But the scene shifted then. He was still in the same place, but he found himself in a broken version of the Last Drop, its walls crumbling and its windows shattered. The bar was filled with shadows that whispered accusations, their words cutting deeper than any blade.
“You failed them,” one shadow hissed.
“Why did you get to live?” another demanded, its voice sharp and venomous.
The shadows formed into figures—Mylo and Claggor, standing together with their backs turned to him. “We trusted you,” Mylo said, his voice cracking. “And you failed.”
Claggor didn’t speak. He simply turned to face Vander, his expression empty but his eyes filled with betrayal.
Then, as if the dream couldn’t get worse, the scene shifted again. The girls were standing in a row: Vi with bloodied knuckles, Powder clutching a ticking bomb, and Luna holding a stuffed animal that dripped with crimson. Their faces were pale, their eyes hollow.
“Why couldn’t you save us?” they said in unison, their voices echoing like a dreadful chorus.
When Vander woke from these dreams, the reality of his imprisonment felt almost like a relief. Almost.
One day, after a particularly grueling session, Vander slumped in the corner of his cell, his breath ragged. Singed entered, carrying a tray of vials and syringes.
“Your resistance is remarkable,” Singed said, almost admiringly.
“I don’t care about your experiments,” Vander growled, his voice hoarse.
Singed ignored him, setting down the tray and examining Vander with calculating eyes. “The dreams—tell me about them.”
Vander’s eyes snapped to the doctor. “What do you know about my dreams?”
“The Shimmer has… side effects,” Singed admitted, his tone clinical. “It digs into the mind, pulls out memories, fears, desires. I’ve observed similar reactions in others. But your dreams—they’re different, aren’t they? More… vivid?”
Vander didn’t answer. He didn’t trust Singed enough to share the torment in his mind, the faces of his children haunting him every time he closed his eyes.
“You see them, don’t you?” Singed pressed. “Your children?”
Vander’s fists clenched. “Don’t you dare talk about them.”
Singed tilted his head, studying him like one of his experiments. “The mind is a powerful thing. It can motivate or destroy. You’d do well to remember that.”
Vander glared at him, his jaw tight. “You think this will break me?”
“I don’t need to break you,” Singed replied, his voice unnervingly calm. “I need to understand you. And in doing so, I will save her.”
The mention of Singed’s daughter brought a flicker of pity to Vander’s rage, but it didn’t soften his resolve.
“You’re wrong,” Vander said, his voice steady despite the storm raging inside him. “You can’t save anyone like this. And you won’t stop me from saving mine. You do all of this to save your daughter, but know that I will not stop fighting to get away from you to get back to my daughters as well.”
Singed paused, the faintest shadow of something—recognition, perhaps?—flickering across his face. He nodded slowly. “Very well. I know what a man is capable of doing for his child. There is… Nothing, so undoing, as a daughter.”
He leaned closer, his voice dropping to a whisper as cold as the room itself. “But know this: it will not bring you anything.”
Vander’s jaw tightened. He sat up as much as the restraints allowed, his voice steady and resolute. “I’ll still fight every day. For them.”
“When I’m done with you,” said Singed, his voice cold as ever, clinical, void of any human emotion. “You won’t even remember them.”

I know who you pretended I am | N.R.K
sinopsis | when he accidentally calls you by his ex's name.
pairing | boyfriend!ni ki x fem!reader
genre | angst, slice fluff at the begging.
You got home after a long shift, the exhaustion weighed on your bones. The moment you opened the door, you saw your boyfriend Ni ki resting on the sofa, but as soon as he saw you, he’s eyes lit up and he immediately stood up. He ran towards you, wrapping you in his strong arms, his tall figure almost making you disappear.
“Finally, you’re home.” Niki murmured, his voice muffled as he buried his face in the back of your neck, taking in your scent.
You smiled, rubbing his back gently. “Did my big baby miss me?”
He pulled you in tighter, his large hands holding you like he never wanted to let go. “Yes, and you have no idea how much.”You couldn’t help but smile wider, feeling a flutter in your chest. “I was literally dying without you.” he said with exaggerated motions, pulling away slightly to meet your gaze.
“Oh, don’t be dramatic.” you teased, turning to walk toward the kitchen.
Ni ki followed you, his footsteps quick behind you, like a puppy that couldn’t bear to be apart for too long. “You have no idea how boring it is here by myself all day.”
“Oh, really?” you replied, placing the grocery bag on the counter. “You have your silly games. I bet it wasn’t that bad.”
“Maybe, but still. Staying at home on a free day without you? Torture.” he said, his tone bordering on pitiful. “Why’d you even have to work today, of all days? Saturday should be for us.”
You laughed softly, setting down the grocery bags. “I know, baby, I had to. My boss was nagging me all week.”
He leaned against the counter, arms crossed, watching your every move. “Talking about that, how was your day?” he asked, still clinging to the hope that maybe you’d tell him something good to make up for how his day had gone without you.
“Not great, honestly. My coworkers are idiots. They kept asking me to do this and that.” You sighed, shaking your head. “And not only that, they kept making fun of me because of my lunch.”
“The one with animals shape?” Ni ki raised his eyebrows.
“Yes! The ones I made.” you said almost with a whining voice. “It’s so annoying.”
Ni ki chuckled, moving behind you and wrapping his arms around your waist, pulling you close. “Next time…” he murmured in a low, playful voice. “I don’t mind throwing hands, you know.” You couldn’t help but laughed, your heart lifting at the sight of his silliness. You turned your head to give him a quick kiss on the lips. “I would do anything for you, baby.”
“Even if my lunch it’s too childish?” you smiled between kisses.
“Of course. I’d even go to jail for you.” he replied with a smirk.
You laughed, pulling away just enough to look up at him. “That’s crazy, Ni ki.”
“What? You don’t believe me?” He laughed, pinning you against the counter. “Jail is literally nothing. I’d find a way to escape just to be with you.”
You both burst into laughter, the sound so warm and familiar.
Oh, how you loved Ni ki.
“You think I could live a life without you for that long?” Ni ki said suddenly, his expression turning serious, though his voice still held that playful undertone. “No way. I’d actually go crazy.”
“You’re already crazy.” you said, poking his chest lightly.
“Me?” he gasped, pretending to be offended. “I’m not crazy. Why would you say that?” He pinched your cheeks gently. “That’s harsh. After I waited patiently by the door for hours.”
You rolled your eyes, smiling at his dramatic antics. “You mean the couch. You were comfortably laying there on the couch.”
“Shut up.” Ni ki said, laughing as he ruffled your hair. “You can’t tell me that you were away that long and didn’t even think about me once.”
You smiled and shook your head. “I actually didn’t.”
“Hey!” He put his hand over his heart, acting hurt. “That’s harsh, princess.”
You wrapped your arms around him again with a playful expression on your face. “Okay, okay, maybe I thought about you once or twice.” you teased, feeling him relax in your hold.
“Once or twice?” Ni ki, his lips curling into a grin. “That’s not enough.”
You laughed, resting your head against his chest. “I was busy, you know. Work’s been a nightmare.”
“Sure.” he said, his tone teasing but light. “I’ll let it slide this time.”
You smiled up at him, feeling comforted by his presence. “You’re too easy on me.” you said, giving him a gentle squeeze.
“I shouldn’t be, but I missed you a lot.” He leaned down, brushing his nose with yours.
“I missed you too.” you whispered softly.
“I hate being apart from you,” he added, looking directly into your eyes. The butterflies in your stomach fluttered like it was the first time you’d been with him.
“Really?” you asked, your smile growing.
“Of course, Mei.”
The moment he said that name, the smile on your face slowly faded. Your arms slipped from around him as you took a step back.
“Mei? What the—” Ni ki said, as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just said. “No, babe, please, I didn’t mean to.”
“Again?” You stared at him, your chest tightening.
“It was an honest mistake. I swear.” Ni ki said quickly, his expression shifting to one of regret as he saw how upset you were. “Fuck, I didn’t mean to.”
“Are you comparing me to her again?” You asked and Ni ki immediately shook his head.
“Baby, of course not. It’s nothing like that, I promise.” he said, his voice full of desperation.
“Then why are you thinking about her?” you asked, the hurt clear in your words.
“I’m not!” he replied quickly. “I don’t even care about her. You know what she did to me… you know what I’ve been through.”
Back when Ni ki was at he’s home town he used to date this girl name Mei, he’s first love to be cleared. They lasted a very long period but Ni ki had to move for a while because of collage, and since that they stared a long distance relationship. And well it did not last that much when Ni ki founded out she cheat on him when he was away.
You stared at him, disbelief and disappointment in your eyes. This wasn’t the first time he’d slipped up and called you by her name, and you’d let it go before because of how hard it was for him to forget about her. But after years together, you weren’t sure anymore.
“Then why would you say that?” you asked, your voice barely above a whisper.
“I don’t know why I said that, baby, I’m sorry.” Ni ki replied, his hands rubbing over his face. “It just slipped. It was a mistake.”
“A mistake? Ni ki, I thought we talked about this?” You stepped back when he tried to step closer.
“No, I—” He closed his eyes, running his fingers through his hair, clearly frustrated with himself. “This is gonna sound so much worse.” he muttered under his breath. Before you could walk away, Ni ki stepped in front of you, blocking your way. “No, please, babe, understand. You’ve seen how she looks like.”
You frowned, your heart heavy. “And what about it?”
“You two look so similar!” he snapped, then quickly corrected himself. “Wait, I didn’t mean it like that—I mean—”
“Tell me something, Niki. Did you get with me because I look like her?” The question pop out of your mind and left him frozen.
“No! Of course not, baby. That’s not it. Please, hear me out.” he said, his voice pleading.
“You still think about her, don’t you?” you asked, your voice shaking with the realization.
“Baby, no—”
“All this time, haven’t I been enough for you?” You felt the tears threaten to spill. Ni ki tried reached for you, but you kept stepped back, holding up a hand to stop him. “I need you to be honest with me, Ni ki.”
He stood there, and for a moment, he looked like he was really thinking hard about it. Why was he even hesitating? Why was this something he had to think about?
“I swear” he finally said, but the way it came out was almost undecided.
The tears finally slipped down your cheeks realising. “Then why does she still have a place in your mind?” you asked quietly, your voice cracking.
Ni ki opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He stood frozen for a moment before finally speaking, his voice strained. “I don’t know, okay? I didn’t want to see her, but I did. I saw her post on social media. She—she looked different, happy. And I just…”
You took a step back, a mix of disbelief and anger now filling you. “You saw her post? You went looking for her? After everything, you’re still looking at her? Ni ki what the fuck?
“I wasn’t looking for her, I swear. It just came up in my feed. I didn’t ask for it.” His voice was defensive, but there was no hiding the guilt in his eyes.
“I don’t care how it happened.” you snapped, your voice rising and tears running down your cheeks. “The fact that you saw it and let it get to you, that’s what hurts. You’re still thinking about her, Ni ki. You’re still letting her into your life, and it’s not fucking fair.”
“It’s just… seeing her face again, after all this time, it brought back memories I thought I’d buried. I didn’t want to think about her, I really didn’t.”
“Don’t you dare use that as an excuse!” You were shaking with frustration now. “It’s been years, Nishimura Ri ki. Years! You’ve had plenty of time to move on, but it seems I didn’t do a good job, did I?
“No, that’s not it, princess, please.” Ni ki said, his voice pleading, but you couldn’t keep the tears from streaming down. “It’s just that… she was my first love, and it’s hard to just forget everything so easily.”
“I don’t care how hard it is for you, Ni ki” You snapped, your chest tightening with every word. “We’ve been together for years! And I’ve given you everything. Everything. And yet, here you are, still thinking about her. I’ve been here, trying to make this work, trying to make you happy!”
“ I didn’t expect it to bring back all these feelings I—“
“Well, maybe you should’ve expected it, because you’re still fucking holding on to her!” You threw your hands up crying. “Every time you slip, every time you call me her name, I feel like I’m not enough for you. Like you’re still waiting for her to come back and not even seeing what you have right in front of you.”
You finally turned and walked upstairs to the bedroom you both shared, and just as you were about to close the door, Ni ki quickly stepped in.
“Y/n, stop, please.” Ni ki said, his voice trembling as his hand rested on the doorframe, trying to follow you in.
“Go back to her! I don’t fucking care anymore! Grab your shit and leave this fucking country!” You screamed, and for a second, you saw the shock in his eyes. It was the first time you’d ever said something like that, and it hit both of you harder than you anticipated.
He stood frozen in the doorway, the weight of your words crushing him. “Y/n—”
“Oh! Now you wanna say my name? This is fucking hilarious,” you interrupted, your voice dripping with sarcasm and rage.
Ni ki remained still, confusion, pain, and regret written all over his face. “I… I didn’t mean to hurt you. You know I love you.”
“Love me?“ you chuckled “Love me enough to still be stuck on her while I’m here? You don’t love me, Ni ki. I know who you pretend I am.”
Ni ki opened his mouth, but no words came out. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, like he wanted to reach for you but was terrified of making it worse.
“Why the fuck are you still here? If you’re so fucking stuck on her, go back to her. You think I’m just some backup plan? Someone to keep you busy while you’re too afraid to face your own damn feelings? No. Fuck that.“
He stepped forward, his hands raised, like he was trying to reach you, but you stepped back again, shaking your head in disbelief.
“Y/n, please, don’t do this. I love you. I swear.” He said now the tears streaming down he’s face.
“You don’t love me, Ni ki.” you said and a sob came out of your mouth. “If you loved me, you wouldn’t be holding onto her. You’d be here with me, fully, not half in the past and half here, just waiting for something that isn’t even real anymore.”
Ni ki stood in front of you, bawling, his tears flowing silently down his face. The two of you just stood there, crying, the weight of everything crashing over you both.
“I didn’t mean to hurt you, Y/n. I swear to God, I didn’t…” Ni ki whispered through his tears, his voice breaking with every word.
You sniffled, wiping at your face, before turning away from him. “I’m going to spend the night with a friend. When I come back tomorrow, I hope I don’t see your stuff… or you.” You opened the closet, pulling clothes out and tossing them into your bag, the finality of it all sinking in.
Ni ki stood still, not knowing what to do, the guilt and regret eating at him as he watched you prepare to leave. His hands trembling slightly as he watched you pack your things, but after a moment of hesitation, he grabbed your arm, stopping you in your tracks.
“Don’t touch me.” you hissed, trying to pull away. But his grip, though not forceful enough to hurt, held firm. “I swear to God, Ni ki, if you don’t let go of me, I’m going to ruin you.”
“Do it.” he said quietly. You froze, looking up at him. His nose was red, his eyes swollen and barely open from crying. He looked utterly defeated.
“Ruin me like she did.” he whispered, his words raw and heavy. “So I can never forget about you, either.”
You stared at him. “What the fuck are you even saying, Ni ki?”
He press he’s grip more when you tired again let go. “If losing you is the price I have to pay for what I’ve done, then fine. I’ll take it. I’ll take it all. Just don’t think for a second that I don’t love you. I do. I love you more than anything, Y/n.”
“Stop saying that.” you pulled finally your arm free. “You don’t get to call this love, Ni ki. Love isn’t… this. Love doesn’t hurt like this.”
You grabbed your things, your hands shaking as you packed. Ni ki’s presence was suffocating, his desperate eyes never leaving you, but you couldn’t let his guilt trap you any longer. You could feel his pain, but it didn’t change the fact that you were hurting, too.
When you made it to the front door, he’s grip on you tightened, his fingers desperately clutching at your clothes, your arms, pulling you back towards him.
“Please, Y/n.” he begged through broken sobs. “Please don’t leave me. You—you’re the only thing that’s ever made me happy.”
He clung to you, his sobs turning into quiet cries of regret. He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face as he looked up at you. “I don’t know how to fix this. Please don’t go.”
There was nothing left to say, nothing left to fix. You took a deep breath and stepped out, the door slamming behind you.
Ni ki’s voice echoed behind you, but you didn’t turn back. You walked away, your heart heavy, leaving him broken on the floor as you closed that chapter once and for all.

A Cozy December Night
I finally wrapped up my first semester, so I am back in action!
Enjoy this short little blurb I've had on my mind since November :)
word count: 581
warnings: very fluffy
Tonight was nothing special, just a normal night spent with your boyfriend, except it was December 1st. The fireplace crackled, heat radiating from it as the flames illuminated the two of you sitting on the floor of the living room.
"I swear, every year the lights get more and more tangled when you take them out." You mumble under your breath, attempting to detangle the strand of multicolored lights that sit in front of you. Your boyfriend's laughter echoes in the room as he takes over light duty. "Why don't you let me deal with these and you put the hooks on the ornaments?" Nicholas's hands brush against yours, a smile on his face as he happily takes the pile of lights from you. A huff leaving your lips as you watch him effortlessly turn the ball of mess into strung out strands of lights ready to be placed around the tree. "Those lights have something against me." He playfully rolls his eyes, standing to wrap the lights around the tree. "Maybe you just don't have the magical touch like I do." He shoots you a wink, maneuvering around the tree. You admire him and how the colorful lights illuminate his radiant smile. He knew winter was your favorite time of the year, the Christmas lights, the snow, the vibes alone. You abandon the task of preparing the ornaments; you rock back and forth on your heels, patiently waiting for Nicholas to finish up.
A few minutes later, he takes a step back, admiring his work. "Damn, I'm good. Matter of fact, I think I'll quit acting and put lights on trees for a living." A goofy grin takes over his face as you burst out in laughter. "And I'll be your manager." You rest your head against him, his arm finding its way around your waist. The only sound being the crackling of the fire. The smell of the pine tree, engulfing the room, was your favorite scent. Nothing brings you more joy than times like these, so simple yet so intimate. Nicholas leans down, planting a kiss on your temple as he pulls you closer. "How about I make us some hot chocolate while we take a break, my little hard worker?" You look up at him while he thinks on it, looking at the tree and back at you. "I think my hard work calls for hot chocolate! "You playfully smack his shoulder as you make your way to the kitchen, humming softly as you reach up for the two red mugs with snowflakes covering them. You set them on the counter along with marshmallows, whipped cream, and candy canes when two arms wrap around you, a warm body pressing against you.
The familiar scent of pine and sandalwood overpowering your nostrils. "Someone's a bit impatient, aren't they?" He hums in response, reaching over to grab a marshmallow. "What can I say? I'm dying to get my hands on this hot chocolate after my hard day of work." He pretends to wipe sweat off his forehead as he tosses a marshmallow in his mouth. "You, my darling, are very dramatic." You stroll over to him, placing the warm cup in his hands. "But, only the best for my hardworking man." You lean up, placing a kiss on his cheek before making your way back to the living room, with your boyfriend trailing right behind you, ready to curl up on the couch, leaving the tree unattended till tomorrow.

take care
PAIRINGS: boo seungkwan x reader GENRE: established relationship, sick fic, hurt-comfort WC: 511 WARNINGS: mention of dying (in a joking manner)
"Seungkwan, I am so sorry for everything…" you said. Seungkwan let out an exasperated sigh, setting the tray he brought on your bedside table.
"You're not dying, my sweet, stop being dramatic."
"I feel like I am though," you said, coughing dryly. It seems like your cold isn't getting any better so you had to cancel your date with Seungkwan. You're also thinking of taking a day off on Monday.
Seungkwan sat on the edge of your bed, placing the back of his hand on your forehead, making you hiss at the contact.
"Jeez, you're so.." he stopped himself from complaining, realizing that he's more or less the same way around you; dramatic.
"I'm gonna go buy some medicine and a first aid box. You need to keep at least one thermometer around." He stood up. "I made you soup, try to eat."
"What if I die while you're out, Kwannie?" You asked, holding on to your boyfriend's hand, not allowing him to go.
"Well, who told you to not bring an umbrella?!" he scolded you. The cold started Friday night after you carelessly walked home despite the rain. In your defense, it was only a drizzle, and the bus stop is literally across your apartment, so that's not much of a distance.
"Fine, I'll just order them," Seungkwan said, sitting back down. "And don't look at me like that."
You smile, wiggling to give him some more space.
"Can you sit? I don't think you should eat while laying down," he ordered. You move up a little, feeling a sudden headache. He snickered at your expression before helping you place a pillow
behind your back for a slight support.
Seungkwan ordered some stuff while feeding you the soup he made earlier. In no time, you've finished the whole bowl. Seungkwan put away the bowl, feeling proud because he managed to scoop out the exact amount of soup for you to finish.
He helped you with water and the last of your medicine, ruffling your hair after you made a disgusted face.
"Will you die if I leave to grab the meds and put this away?" he asks you. You let out a laugh, coughing in the process. "Aigoo, my sweet."
You shooed him with a grin. He smiled at you before leaving you with the finished meals. A sudden wave of drowsiness washes over you, you're not sure if it's the meds or you're just tired. You fix the pillow a little, laying back down. it doesn’t take long for you to fall back asleep.
"Do you want to use this?" Seungkwan walks in with a bunch of stuff he bought. The sight of you already asleep stopped him in his tracks, making him cover his mouth quickly.
He puts down the stuff on top of your drawers and walks over to your bed. He then continues to place one finger under your nose, all while trying to hold back laughter.
He fixes your hair before tugging you in tighter.
"You're not gonna die, my sweet, not on my watch."
a/n. every strong independent person needs someone to take care of them when they're sick

memento mori • n.s
pairing: noah sebastian x gn!reader
words: 1.6k
warnings: ANGST, grief, loss, death, mourning (this is kinda heavy, please do not feel like you need to read im getting out feelings)
summary: "if you're watching this, im dead."
note: i think i was feeling some kinda way because i don't really know where this came from lol, but here's a quick little blurb if you enjoy angst <3
THIS IS A FANFICTION USING A REAL PERSON IN A FICTIONAL SCENARIO! I AM NOT IMPLYING THEY WOULD ACT THIS WAY OR DO THE THINGS IN MY FANFICTION- IT IS FOR FUN, AND IT IS SIMPLY FICTION! <3
I sat in front of my computer screen, shell-shocked as the haunting words of his last video echoed in my ears.
"If you're watching this, I'm dead."
My heart clenched at his words, chest tightening as my breath caught in my throat. My room around me felt cold, too large and too empty, even with the myriad of knick-knacks and photos that adorned every available surface.
With trembling hand I reached out a to replay the video, but hesitated before I could do it. His face was frozen on the screen, eyes full of sorrow and resignation. A face I had fallen in love with; a stranger’s face that had brought so much unanticipated joy into my life.
His voice echoed through the silence again, the words heavy with grief and regret.
For what? For whom?
Refreshing the page, I watched his face light up the screen- his brown eyes warm and laughing, a stark contrast to the somber look from the end of the video. I watched as he talked about his day, his love for music, his appreciation of movies and games. It was all so normal, so Noah. It was easy to forget, just for a moment, what the end of the video would bring.
Then came the shift, where his bright demeanour began to fall away, replaced by a solemnity that felt unnatural on his usually vibrant face.
"I have some news," he began, his voice cracking slightly under the weight of his words. Even though I’d already heard him say it, part of me still hoped the next words out of his mouth would be different.
"But before I tell you," he said with a long pause, staring directly into the camera as if he knew I was watching, “I want you to remember the fun we had. I want you to remember the laughter, the joy...how I always kicked ass at super smash," His voice wavered with a stiff laugh, vulnerable and raw.
"I want you to remember me as I was, not as I will be."
My vision blurred with tears as his gaze bore into mine through the screen. Pulling my knees to my chest in an attempt at comfort while sitting at my desk, I choked back the tears that threatened to spill.
His words, even though for thousands, felt painfully intimate; like we were alone in an empty world, sharing a private moment of heart-wrenched farewell.
The long-haired brunette continued, "If you're watching this, I'm dead."
The harsh reality of his words hit me again like a physical blow, the tears falling as saliva grew in my mouth, lips quickening.
I watched his face crumple with sorrow before he collected himself, taking a deep breath. An inked hand came up to rub his face, as though he was struggling with words.
"There's no easy way to say it," he said, voice trembling with held-back tears, "I've been sick for a while... I didn't want anyone to worry. So, I kept it to myself."
Taking my sleeve, I rubbed my eyes as he continued.
"But now..." His voice wavered, "Now, I'm gone."
I watched in helpless agony as he tried to smile through his tears, a raw attempt to offer comfort, that he may have needed more.
The image of Noah, smiling despite everything, was a painful reminder of just how much I had lost; what the people in his life had lost.
“And I’m sorry.”
And here he was, apologizing to us for dying.
His brave facade crumbled then, and he broke down, weeping openly on screen. Noah’s sobs echoed through the quiet room, filling the spaces between my cries. I wanted to reach out to comfort him, but he was no longer there…only his digital ghost remained, memorialized within the code.
"I don't want you to mourn me," he said, his voice merely a whisper. "I want you to celebrate me for the life I've lived, and not the life I've lost."
His words knotted in my chest, a cruel irony in the face of the anguish that strung me. How was I to celebrate him? When every fibre of my being felt shredded by grief?
"You’ve been my friends," he continued softly, “and in a weird way, my family. You’ve joined streams with me through my best and worst times. I read every comment, every message; you didn’t know it but you gave me strength and laughter when I needed it most.”
Tears welled anew in my eyes. The impact of his sincere words left my heart racing, and limbs warming in misery.
"I need you to promise me something," he choked out after a moment, his gaze unwavering from the camera.
I sniffed, wiping my eyes again, his plea holding an intensity that made it impossible for me to look away
"Promise me you won't let my story end with my death," he said, sharing a small smile.
His voice tremored, yet it was filled with a surprising steeliness. "Promise me that you'll remember the joy, the laughter... the love."
His eyes held a fervour that pierced my heart; a vow exchanged under the silent witness of testimonial sorrow.
"I want you to take whatever you’ve found in my videos. Every smile, every piece of advice- every Mortal Kombat combo,” He paused, swallowing harshly with a dismissed laugh. "I want you... I want you to live."
The weight of his words hung in the air like a solemn promise. Live. He wanted me to live, us - fully and completely
"Love generously," he whispered, "Don’t take being here for granted.”
Noah smiled, nodding towards me, “You are worthy, and you are cherished. You make an impact on this earth, whether you believe so or not. You have a purpose.”
I continued to sob as his words flowed out of the speakers, dancing through the room in a mournful ballad.
His brown eyes bore into mine from the screen as he tucked a strand of brunette hair behind his ears.
"But most of all," he added, his voice barely more than a whisper now, "I want you to know that even though I'm not physically here anymore, I'll always be with you."
His words wrapped around my body in a comforting hug, and I squeezed my knees closer to my chest. As I rested my chin upon them, letting the tears stain my jeans I shared a bitter smile with the man I appreciated more than life itself.
The finality of Noah’s message was there – stark and painful – yet beneath it was an underlying message of hope and resilience.
"Thank you," he smiled after a pause, wiping away his cheeks with the sleeve of his black hoodie, "Thank you for being a part of my journey."
The screen blanked as the video ended, leaving me alone in the silence.
A sense of loss washed over me, raw and broken, desolate and despondent.
I sat there for a while longer, holding my body as his words echoed in my mind.
'Love generously. You are worthy. You have a purpose.’
The sentiment clung to the edges of my consciousness, like a mantra slowly seeping into my being.
My steps felt heavy and slow when I found the strength to leave my room, each one an effort to move forward.
Grief was insidious like that, invading every thought and action with its hollow grasp, embellishing its roots deep beneath the skin of heartache.
Yet, was I allowed to mourn someone who was ultimately in the end, a stranger?
But when I crawled back up the stairs, into the safety of my room, I crawled into bed and let myself open his channel once again.
Unwanted tears welled up again as I glanced at the screen, scrolling through the various streams and uploads. For so long, it had been my window to Noah - his thoughts, his creations, his heart-warming smiles.
Now, it was merely a screen- the end of the illusion that I had been a part of his life, even though we were strangers separated by thousands of miles.
The digital veil was a beautiful thing; allowing us to feel a brief sense of connection- until it’s pulled away.
And although we were strangers, he reached out to us in his most vulnerable moment.
He had shared his pain, his fear, and ultimately his hope for those of us left behind.
Taking a deep, shaky breath, I hovered my thumb over another video title - 'Noah's Adventures: Ocean with the Boys’.
When I hit play, there he was. Alive. Vibrant.
His infectious smile tugged at my heartstrings as he pointed excitedly at the stunning sunset around him, knocking into his best friends. The brunette’s laughter filled my room, dispelling the stifling silence that had taken hold of my heart.
With every passing second of the video, I cried, my chest aching as my throat tightened with grief and pain- yet nostalgia and laughter as I smiled with him.
"Ya boy Noah here," he said with that familiar twinkle in his eyes, "Me and the gang thought a picnic would be a good idea,”
He then held up a container of sacramental bread, his bizarre favourite snack.
“I got jesus bones, Nick’s got the vodka.”
The chorus of laughter that erupted as Noah smiled cheekily into the camera left my heart aching at the sight of his friends- his family.
I mourned for them, too.
This was the Noah he wanted us to remember: full of life.
As the video drew to an end, the screen filled the brilliant hues of orange and purple splashed across the sky, as if painted by an ardent artist.
Noah looked at the camera with a serene smile.
"Life is a masterpiece," he said, out of breath as he stood upon the hill, capturing the water behind him, "Each day is a new brush stroke adding to its beauty.”
The video ended with a shot of the sky, Noah's laughter dancing into the twilight.
His last phrase lingered into the silence:
"Remember to appreciate it."
memento mori.

those who cling to death live...
joel miller x platonic!reader | joel miller x daughter!reader | joel miller x reader summary: a humorous but sincere talk about death. warnings: mild angst, hurt/comfort, father-daughter dynamic, mentions of death, FLUFFFFFFF. word count: 989 a/n: hiiiiiiiiiii, me again! so, this is the thing that I’ve been writing! this was supposed to be a one-shot but i’ve decide to split it into two parts, because i was feeling guilty about not posting anything yet, and i didn’t really want to keep anyone waiting, soooo here it is! hope you enjoy it! . . . "Are you afraid of-" you started to ask, breaking the comfortable silence that settled between you, Joel, who sat right next to you with his rifle in hand, and Ellie, who was curled up by the fire, out cold from the exhaustion of the long trek the three of you took today. "Of you? Yes." Joel interrupts you with a slight grumble in his voice. However, you knew that It held no bite. "Very funny, Joel. I am dying of laughter." you dramatically remarked, sarcasm dripping off your tongue heavily. He only chuckled lightly and shook his head, but gave no further words and continued on with his watch. And given that he hasn’t spoken much to either you or Ellie in the past few days after a group of raiders ambushed you, seeing him crack even the tiniest of smiles or hear a barely there chuckle from your incessant pestering or Ellie’s stupid jokes, you considered it a win. After a beat of silence, with the sounds of crickets chirping and the occasional crackle of the dying fire beside you, you asked again. "Do you know what I'm afraid of?"
Joel shot you a tired look and sighed before answering. "I don't know, what?"
"Dying," you answered quietly as your eyes focused on the fire in front of you. In your peripheral, you saw Joel visibly go rigid beside you, and It reminded you of the way Joel's demeanor would change when he heard the crack of twigs in the distance or phantom voices flowing through the air while on a trek or keeping watch at night, the need to protect his young heightening before telling you and Ellie to stay close to him and be more alert.
He slowly turned his head to look at you, and you took his silence as an encouragement to continue. "We live with death every day, but we know little about it." You thought softly, while Joel listened to you intently.
"Like, what happens when you die? Is it like sleep? If it is, how do I know I'm dead? And what happens after that? Do I go somewhere, or is it just darkness, and it's like that forever?-"
"Kid, you're not gonna die." Joel softly assured, and though you appreciate that he tried to soothe your worries, it did little to comfort you, you just had to let it out.
"I know that! But-" you turned to face Joel, exasperation flowed out of you like a raging river until there was nothing left but a defeated sigh that made its way past your lips. Your shoulders sagged as you continued. "Eventually I will…"
"And it terrifies you," Joel concluded.
"I know, It's silly," you chuckled humorlessly. "Because I see people die every day,"
The public FEDRA executions.
The Infected.
People caught within the crossfire at the QZ because of another Firefly attack.
Your mother. Your sister.
As you spoke, Joel noticed you absentmindedly touched your star shaped necklace, before your hand trailed down to your ring which had a spiraling red carnation wrapped around the band.
"And I know that at some point it'll come for me too. I shouldn't be scared of it, but then I see the fear in their eyes-"
"Please don't kill me. Please- NO!"
The words of a dying man. The man that you had to shoot to save Joel and Ellie from a raider. It wasn't your first kill, but It was the first time you saw the fear of being on the other side of the gun.
"'Can't even imagine what it feels like…to be out there helpless and alone. Just left with the fact that you're about to go and you can't do anything about it…"
It broke Joel's heart to see nothing but fear cloud your eyes as they started to glaze over the fire once more. Someone as young as you shouldn't even have to think about death so much, despite it being the world you were born in. He felt guilty for having to subject both you and Ellie to the horrors of this world, for making you do something you shouldn't have had to do to save his life.
"Hey…I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, okay?" His tone is firm, but his words are gentle. A promise that he's going to do whatever it takes to fulfill.
"You promise?" you asked, your voice quiet.
Joel, without hesitation, said. "I promise."
"Now get some sleep, kiddo. I'll take it from here." Joel told you while he stood up to adjust his grip on the rifle, probably about to scout the perimeter again.
"But, I'm taking watch with you." You lightly defended, your brows furrowed in confusion.
"I'm not hearing it. Go to sleep." And grumpy old Joel was back again. And even though you wanted to fight him on it, exhaustion was catching up to you, so you let him win. Just this once.
"Fine," you muttered begrudgingly and dragged yourself to your sleeping bag that was placed closer to where the fire and Ellie were. You wiggled into your sleeping bag, trying to get comfortable when you called out to Joel without waking Ellie up.
"But, next time I'm taking full watch." you started as you smoothed down your bag and placed your pistol right next to your head.
As you settled into the night, a thought popped into your head, which made a small grin grow on your lips. "With your rifle."
You hear Joel lightly retort in the distance. "You wish."
"Oh, I will. I will wish very hard."
You heard Joel's barely there chuckle.
"Yeah, you do that."
You closed your eyes with a grin on your face as sleep started to guide you into its embrace.
Joel glances at you and Ellie from where he stands. A familiar warmth settled into his chest as he saw you two sleep peacefully.
"Goodnight, kiddo."

bajsbdjs hi hello it's me, the anon who was complaining about childe always finding his way into my teams, and i come bearing great news:
i finally got alhaitham!!
i slapped on all the artifacts i prefarmed for him + harbinger of dawn (bc i don't have any good 5 star sword and he needs more crit rate) and wow. just. wow.
for context, my alhaitham is stuck at lvl 70 atm with his talents barely leveled up (only his e is up to level 3 lmao while his basic is at 2) and let me tell you, the way i CACKLED when i realized that not only does he absolutely shred all the bosses/camps i've thrown him at before his dendro infusion even ends, but he also kills the wenut faster than my childe (who has r1 skyward harp, 5-8-8 talents, and honestly better artifacts) does. i am on the floor, dying of laughter and honestly i don't think childe or i could ever recover from the fact that alhaitham outdps-ed the character who carried me through every boss, abyss, and domain in just one day.
to say that childe is pissed would be an understatement.
he's livid. he watches you dote and praise your beloved new dps, al dente or whatever his name is, spoil him with enhanced artifacts blessed by yours truly - a luxury he was deprived of despite his show of devotion for you, and just overall ignores him altogether when he's right there.
the brunette seethes when the newest addition to the team glances at him at hearing your detailed comparison, and he nearly shoots his hydro arrow in reflex when the insignificant vermin's eyebrows raises - as if mocking him.
oh, he'll show you.
he'll show you that he's stronger. better.
just like how he had always proven himself countless times on your journey.
at the end of the day, you'll come back to him again. he'll make sure of that.

this is not beta read ahhh its 4:30 am kjbhgv
Today was the day.
Today he was going to tell Danny Fenton he was in love with him.
It had taken him a while to figure that out. It had also taken them a while to get to where they were now. Dash used to bully Danny every day of their freshman year, but now as seniors they were friends. They hung out all the time. He was even friends with Danny’s friends.
And today he was going to tell Danny how he felt. He was pretty sure Danny felt the same way, but neither of them had confessed to the other. There were only lingering touches and lovestruck looks. Nothing concrete. But Dash had to tell him. Even on the off chance that Danny didn’t feel the same.
They were in between classes right now and Dash saw Danny standing at his locker with Sam and Tucker exchanging textbooks. Dash smiled and walked up to them, waving at Sam and Tucker from behind Danny’s back.
“Hey, Danny. Do you want to go to the Nasty Burger with me tonight? My treat.” Dash asked, leaning his shoulder against the locker next to Danny’s open one.
Tucker let out a whooping sound. “Collect my rsvp! I’m always down for free food.”
Sam elbowed him and whispered his name, shooting Tucker a look.
Tucker glanced between Danny and Dash and back again. “Oh wait. I forgot. Me and Sam have that thing tonight. Sorry, can’t go.”
Dash could practically feel Danny’s eyes as he rolled them at Tucker. “Yeah sure that thing that you guys totally have.” He turned to look at Dash and smiled at him. “I’d be down for that Dash. What time?”
“I’ve got practice after school today. How about seven? Meet you there?”
Danny turned back to his locker and closed it. “It’s a date.”
Butterflies erupted in Dash’s stomach. A date.
Sam snickered and Dash’s gaze flickered to her. Her and Tucker were watching them, trying to, but not very hard, stifle their laughter.
“Yeah! Cool.” Dash smiled at him.
“Okay you kids, let’s get to class.” Sam waved them after her as she started walking away. Dash fell into step beside Danny, their shoulders brushing as they walked down the hallway.
qqqqqq
Dash ran his hands through his hair a couple more times in the mirror before spraying a spritz of cologne on himself. He was nervous but also kind of excited. He was finally gonna tell Danny how he felt
He grabbed the bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates that he had bought on his way home from practice today. He looked at Danny’s name, scrawled out in his handwriting on both items. He hoped that Danny liked flowers. He knew he liked chocolate.
He headed downstairs and out the door. He knew the Nasty Burger wasn’t the fanciest place in town, but it was somewhere familiar and they both liked it.
As he was heading down the street, he could hear some commotion coming up.
Coincidentally it seemed to be following the same path as him. As he got closer he could finally see what it was.
Phantom was fighting that hunter ghost again. They were both flying back and forth around each other. Phantom landed a shot on the ghost and was growled at in response.
“I’ve got some place to be! Come back a different time!”
Phantom definitely seemed to be in a rush today. He was getting sloppy, trying to capture the ghost as soon as possible.
“Hey, Phantom!” Dash called, walking towards the commotion with a big smile on his face. Phantom was his hero. He loved him. He didn’t get many chances to talk to him. “Kick his ass, Phan-”
Dash stopped in the middle of the street, his voice dying in his throat. In front of him, Phantom stood shell shocked, a hole blasted through his chest by the hunter ghost. Dash could see the ghost through Phantom’s chest. He bellowed out a deep laugh.
As the other ghost started talking to Phantom, a pair of rings appeared around his waist. Dash had never seen this power before. He didn’t know what this would do.
It split from his middle and separated, traveling around his body. Dash’s heart began to sink into his stomach when a familiar t-shirt appeared underneath the rings. Dash’s eyes widened and his heart stopped after the rings revealed a pair of blue jeans and a head of black hair.
Standing there in the middle of the street bleeding out was Danny Fenton.
Dash dropped the bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates he held in his hands.
The green ectoplasm that Phantom had been bleeding soaked into Danny’s shirt and steadily turned to red.
Dash could no longer hear the ghost that was still talking to Danny. His ears were ringing so loud he couldn’t make out anything happening in the street anymore. His chest was rising and falling quicker and quicker.
Danny finally fell down to the ground, landing on his knees and holding himself up with his hands. That was Dash’s breaking point.
The bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates fell out of his shaking hands and hit the ground. Balling his hands up into fists, he turned around and bolted down the street as fast as he could.
He had to get as far away as he could. He’s never seen anything like this before. He knew ghosts were dangerous, but he didn’t really think they were this dangerous. He didn’t know what they were really capable of. He was used to the idea of ghosts that he grew up watching on tv. The ones that couldn’t really interact with the living world. What could ghosts do if they weren’t even tangible?
But these ghosts were very tangible. They could interact with the living world and cause a lot of damage. Apparently Phantom couldn’t even stop them.
And Danny Phantom was Danny Fenton.
Dash skidded to a stop and looked back behind him, his chest heaving and out of breath from running.
What was he doing? He was running away from Danny, his friend. His hero. The boy he loved. What was he doing running away? Why didn’t he do something to help him?
Was there anything he could’ve really done?
Against his better judgment, Dash turned around and started running back the way he came.
Even if he couldn’t help Danny, maybe he could still tell him what he was going to tell him today. He needed him to hear it.
Dash turned around the corner onto the street where the fight was. But when he looked around, he didn’t see Danny or the ghost he was fighting.
His stomach rolled. That ghost must’ve gotten him. There wasn’t anything Dash could do. Nothing left for him to say.
He turned back around and slowly made his way home.
qqqqqqqqq
Dash trudged his way into school the next day. All he wanted to do last night after getting home was sleep what he had seen away. But he had a sleepless night instead.
He yawned as he pushed the front door open. As he cracked open an eye, he choked on the air he was breathing in as his gaze landed on somebody that was waiting by his locker.
Danny leaned against Dash’s locker. He was laughing at something that Sam and Tucker were saying. His bright and lively eyes opened and met Dash’s gaze.
How was he here? What happened? Was that not Danny? Did Phantom have some kind of shape shifting abilities? Did he imagine the whole thing?
Dash watched as Danny said something to Sam and Tucker and started walking towards him. Dash couldn’t move a muscle. His entire being was focused on the boy walking across the hall to him. The other students walking around him faded from his mind the closer Danny got.
“Hey.” Danny said when he made his way to Dash’s side.
All Dash managed to get out was a squeaking sound.
Danny looked around them and grabbed Dash by the arm. Danny pulled Dash behind him and soon they came to a janitor’s closet and he was dragged inside.
Once the door shut Danny turned the light on and all Dash could do was stare at Danny’s face. He was alive. His eyes shone, he breathed, and most importantly, he didn’t have a hole in his chest.
“What…” Dash started, but he found that he still didn’t have the words.
Danny pulled his backpack to the front and opened it. He pulled the crumpled flowers and chocolates that both had his name on it that Dash had dropped in the street the night before.
“I…” Danny started and then took a deep breath. “I’ve never told anyone besides Sam and Tucker about any of this before. But I found these in the street yesterday and I needed to check in with you.” He looked up at Dash. “How much did you see?”
Dash was still staring at Danny’s face but then it dropped down to his chest.
“I was about to call your name when the ghost shot you.” He tapped the spot on Danny’s chest where the hole had been. “I saw you detransform and ran.”
Danny squeezed his eyes shut. “Shit. That must’ve been pretty gruesome.”
Dash swallowed. “It was.” His gaze traveled back up to Danny’s face. “How are you here?”
“My ghost half gives me accelerated healing. It’s gotten stronger and stronger over the years. This is the worst thing I’ve ever had to come back from though.”
“But you’re still you? You’re not dead?”
Danny chuckled. “I might be sort of dead, but I’m not any more dead than I was two days ago.”
Dash took a deep breath and leaned forward resting his forehead on Danny’s shoulder. Dash didn’t realize he was shaking until Danny’s arms wrapped around his neck. His heart skipped a beat and he wrapped his own arms around Danny’s waist and took another deep breath.
“I thought you were dead yesterday.” He said softly. “I was on my way to the Nasty Burger when I saw the ghost fight. I was going to tell you… And then… I thought I’d never get a chance.”
“I’m sorry.” Danny whispered. “I wish you hadn’t seen that. When I saw the flowers and chocolates on the ground I thought you’d think I was some sort of freak. That maybe you didn’t stay because you thought I was a monster.”
Dash pulled away and shook his head. “No. I was scared out of my mind. I didn’t know what I was doing running away. I came back to tell you I loved you before you died but you had already disappeared.”
Danny’s eyes widened. “You still love me? Even seeing what I am?”
Dash nodded. “Of course I do. Phantom does so much for all of us everyday. How could I not?”
Danny smiled and pulled Dash into another hug. “Thanks. And for the record, I love you too.”
He pulled a card out of his backpack. “I was gonna give this to you yesterday too.”
Dash took the card. On the front was a picture of a red landscape. You’re like a martian sunrise. He opened the card and inside was a drawing of space with heart shaped stars.
Out of this world.
A tear slipped from his eye and Dash snorted out a small laugh.
“You dork.”
Danny turned and bumped his shoulder against Dash’s. “Yeah, but you love this dork. You said so yourself.”
“Yeah. I do.”

Veni, Vidi, Vici
She exists, breathes, quirks her neck to the side, thinks, breathes. Breathes. Breathes. Soft air escaping baby pink lips like a moan, floating away and away. Her breaths are the kind you dream of. The deep contended sighs that carry you to sleep on a soft bed, toes burrowing into cold sheets. The peach haze memory of flaring nostrils in the backseat of your parents car on a late night trip when you were 3, the sound of rain pattering on the roof. The weight of your mother's arms around you as she carried you to bed. The comforting voice of your father in the next room.
And I think to myself, oh to be dead. To slash at my jugulars and pour myself all over her. To bathe her and tarnish her, pale white gooseflesh turned red and sticky, thighs matted together. To lie dying and festering at her feet, to rot and fill the grove with heat as her tears water my grave. To feed the nightcaps and worms until my nitrates become sweet nitrogen and at last she can breathe me in too. To be on the inside of her chest, rising and falling like the rolling tide. Pillowy and graceful like that of a swan. To mark her and paint in her a tapestry of indecency. An insult to the virgin goddesses she reminds me of. To love is to destroy. To collapse a wave function. We cannot see without touching, touch without seeing. Our hungry hungry eyes grow teeth.
She sits against windowsills, legs tucked underneath her, making notes, sipping coffee. I take her in before she notices me and the cold glass silence around her breaks. She is so gloriously mundane it exerts a kind of regal stillness. Her hair is chocolate brown, tinged with bronze. Like salted caramel on my tongue. Like straw spun to gold by cursed princesses in tales of old. She ties it into an effortlessly messy bun, stray strands framing her face, she is running late but is still put together. She is organised chaos. She is that girl. The one we all wanted to be, with the alarm and the watch and the bag and the car, the sports captain who eats pizza over the sink by the window. The one men want and we are meant to hate. She is voyeurism made flesh. She exists to be seen, a walking wet dream.
What kind of monster am I, who loves like a man. The way Orpheus loved Eurydice. Faithless and desperate.
She is steely moonlight across a grey green plain. Tendons and muscles gleaming, lithe and strong and leaping. Teeming with ichor. Amber eyes burning with resolve. Leather bow and quiver hitched over a shoulder as she glides across creaks, crouches in the underbrush. Nimble as a doe, fierce as a lioness. The huntress with the unforgiving gaze and the unwavering arrows. The one who skewers men and whispers to wildlife amongst the pines. Who nurses a tender and loyal heart. Artemis the eternal maiden, voice of the wilderness and protector of the young.
As I sit here on another grey drizzling morning in the hum of traffic I wonder if you remember. The sound of splashing water and girlish laughter, tangled limbs in freshwater lakes, honey sweet kisses like freshly pressed olive oil and figs. The crunch of red earth between toes and the hard rock cliffs at Ephesus, the glittering aquamarine of the Aegean below as we run and chase and hunt and spar until the copper tang burns our lungs.
I look at you now as you drive and I know that I would clutch at your putrid corpse and tell it stories of my pain, until my mother and comrades dragged you from me until I dragged your murderer three times around his own city until his father begged me for mercy until they mixed our ashes and laid us to rest on the hill.
Do you see it with the clarity I do? Our story already written? I know how this will end, as it has a thousand times before. But I wait for you every morning anyway, on the curb we've agreed on. I get into the car, I watch you drive. And every day I lose a little more of myself to the thing we will become .
