masterlist | wip's
Tumblr media
You’ve been staring at the ceiling for a whole hour. Your stomach has been making weird noises for the past ten minutes, but you’re too lazy to get up. And another thing is Luke’s arm lying across your stomach.
You know how clumsy you can be, and if you’d try to remove his hand you would probably wake him up, but with your rumbling stomach, there is no other option.
Slowly, you take ahold of his hand, moving it in slow motions down your body, until it drops down on the bed. Luke let out a quiet snort as he turned on his back, placing his head over his eyes.
You let out a sigh of relief that you didn’t wake him. You walk over to the circle armchair where is lying your nightrobe. You slip your hands in the holes and tie it around your waist.
You make sure Luke is still asleep before you leave the room with a quiet click as you close the door. With quick but quiet steps you almost run into the kitchen while your stomach still makes the weird noises.
As soon as you’re in the kitchen, your eyes immediately wander to the pancakes you had for dinner.
You take the plate and place it on the table, you take one of the pancakes in hand and take a bite. You walk over to the fridge and pull out whipped cream, pickles, and Nutella.
Yeah, weird combination, but your period is supposed to come in two days. As you’re eating the pickles, you get a terrible taste for cacao. You pull out the milk and pour it into the biggest mug you have. You put it in the microwave for a minute so it’s warm enough. As the time counts down, you pull out the cacao and place it next to your food as you put some Nutella on the pancakes and place pickles on it.
You’re so distracted by the food you completely forget about the milk in the microwave until the last two seconds are on and the annoying beeping sounds through your apartment.
“Shit!” you let out as you run to the microwave trying to turn off the sound. “C’mon!” you groan when the sound goes on. When you finally turn it off, two strong hands wrap around you, making you let out a squeak.
“Hey, calm down, ‘s just me,” Luke whispers in your ear in a sleepy voice, kissing your neck.
“I’m sorry, I woke you up,” you sigh and pull out the warm milk. “I didn’t mean to.”
“‘S okay, but what are you doing here?” he looks around and you cock your brow as if it wasn’t obvious. He let out a laugh at your reaction unwrapping his arms from you.
“Very unique food cravings,” he points out to your pancakes. You just shrug and walk over to the table to continue with your snack.
“You want some?” you reach your hand with your food towards him. He shakes his head as he yawns, guilt forming in your chest. Luke has early morning practice today, yet he’s here with you because you woke him up. If it wasn’t up to your food cravings, he’d be still sleeping.
Luke must have noticed the change in your mood, ‘cause you to put the pancake back on the plate, chewing slowly.
“Hey, baby, what’s up?” he whispers as he pulls you in a hug.
“Nothing.” you shake your head forcing a small smile to form on your lips.
“Hey, I know you,” he cocks his brow. “So tell me, what’s wrong?”
“I…just…you have morning practice,” I sigh when I see his confused look. “You have early morning practice yet you’re here, because I woke you up, just because of my weird cravings. You’ll be tired and just because of me.”
“Hey, ‘s okay. I don’t mind I’m here. You know I’ve told you multiple times that you can wake me whenever you want if you need anything.” he says kissing the top of your head.
“But it’s not okay. I don’t want to be the one, who you are tired because of.” I mumble a tear sliding down my cheek. Jesus, stupid hormones. I wipe it quickly away but more and more starts sliding down.
“Hey, hey, hey, it’s alright. Don’t cry, my love. I promise I’m not tired. And even if I’ll be, I don’t care, you’re my priority. Always,” he bends down kissing your lips. “I don’t care if you wake me up at midnight that you’re craving hamburger or whatever. I don’t care if you wake me two hours before my alarm, that you need pads. I’ll get up and get you whatever you want. I just want you to be happy and alright.” he smiles down at you.
You nod and pull away from him, to take the pancake you were eating. He laughs at you and takes one himself. He squirts some whipped cream on it and with a full spoon of Nutella he starts eating.
“I love you,” you mumble with full mouth. A smile forms on his lips as he nods.
“I love you too, baby.”

would you write a nico and quinn x reader smut by any chance
Manager
Quinn Hughes and Nico Hischier x Fem! Reader
Tumblr media
Warnings- smut, PinV, anal, hickeys, cum eating, oral (fem! Receiving), threesome
Summary- The manager from the New Jersey Devils is invited to celebrate the devils win with Nico but her best friend who happens to be the captain of the losing team wants to find comfort in her. When they all go to Nico’s, the boys have a different idea on what to do.
Word count- 3.2k
The sounds of blades against ice fills my ears as I attempt to scribble something down for my team. The score was 3-0 and it was only the second period, devils were winning of course. I could see clearly from across the ice that Quinn Hughes was fuming. Not only was his team losing but he was losing against his two little brothers. On the contrary, I look to my left and see Nico Hischier all sweaty and smiley. I laugh softly, moving to let him back on the ice. I only zone out for a moment until I’m brought back with the buzzer and cheers, my eyes focus on Quinn who has his head in his hands and I can already tell who scored.
The game finishes up with a devils win. I’ve already been friends with Quinn since I was a kid, his brothers were the reason I’d joined managing the devils team. It would’ve been the Canucks if it wasn’t 1/3 brothers there. The devils do their celebration on the ice and I take it as my queue to wait by the entrance of the locker room for them. As each one passes me they pat me on the back. Nico approaches lastly with a huge shit eating grin on his face, “you see that, y/n?” He nearly cheers. “You did good, Neeks.” He pat his back and turn to face him as he speaks, “hey, you wanna come over later? Celebrate maybe? We can have a few drinks or like I dunno.” He shrugs.
I smile and nod, “sure.” He doesn’t say another word as he happily makes his way into the locker room. I put my note pad in my purse and I walk to my office. The rink was nearly cleared out, silence filling the air. The second I sit down in my office chair a knock echoes on the door. “It’s open.” I speak out, expecting Nico to be at the door. My eyebrows furrow when I see the all too familiar face of Quinn Hughes. “Isn’t your team leaving right now?” He shakes his head and runs a hand through his hair, “I’ll meet them at the airport tomorrow or something.” He shrugs.
“So… why’re you here?” “Figured you’d be the person to go to when I’m stressed.” “Quinn…” he looks up with a surprised expression and laughs in a dull tone, “I didn’t mean it like that,” he pauses, “unless you’re offering.” “Quinn, Nico invited me to hang out at his place- I just-“ I’m cut off my a roll of Quinns eyes. “Nico this, Nico that, Nico is so fucking amazing.” He mocks bitterly, obviously still pissed off about the game. “Quinn…” I pout softly and lean back into my seat. He huffs and takes a step back, “I’m sorry for bothering you, I’ll just go-“ “Quinn” I repeat and stand up with a sigh.
“He wants to celebrate…” I whisper with a sorry look in my eyes. “Of course he does.” He shoves his hands in his pockets. “I’ll talk to him… stay here.” I feel a sudden ache in my heard for his hurtness. I walk past him and out the door, heading towards the locker room. I turn and run straight into a hard chest. I look up and step back, scratching my neck. “Sorry, Nico…” he smiles, “don’t be sorry” he assures in the accent that could make any girl weak in the knees. Nico knew that Quinn and I were friends and I knew Nico was the most understanding person ever… “Quinn is really upset-“ Nico’s smile falters but doesn’t go away, “He wants to spend time with you? Make himself feel better?” “I guess so, I just- I dunno I don’t wanna leave you but he’s really upset.”
“He can come over to my place” “I don’t think he’d like to celebrate his own loss” Nico laughs softly and shakes his head, “We don’t have to celebrate. We can watch a movie or something, maybe?” I smile at Nico, admiring how quick he was to include Quinn. “I- well, come with me.” I motion for him to follow me and he does. I go back into my office to see Quinn waiting in my desk chair. “Wanna go watch a movie at Nico’s place?” Before Quinn could respond, Nico appears just over my shoulder. Quinn shrugs, “I guess so.” He stands and I smile, I knew he would’ve preferred us to be alone but I figured he’d understand since the both of them wanted to spend time with me.
I tap on my steering wheel softly to the beat of whatever was playing on my radio all the way until I get to Nico’s place that I knew the directions all too well to. Quinn and I follow Nico inside his house. Quinn had never been here but of course I have, I lead Quinn to Nico’s couch. “Beds more comfortable,” Nico says from the kitchen in which he was getting a drink for each of us. I peer over at Quinn, wanting to know what he thought of it. “Do you want to?” He asks and I shrug “only if you wanna.” He smiles weakly, “I guess I’m okay with it.”
I grab Quinn’s hand and bring him to Nico’s bedroom that I hadn’t been in very many times. I plop myself right into the middle of the bed, Quinn taking his shoes off beside the bed before laying down on one side of me. Nico walks through the door and tosses a water bottle to the each of us. I hear a quiet, “thank you” fall from Quinn’s lips. “So what kind of movie are we feeling tonight, ladies?” Nico asks in attempt to lighten the mood. He can tell he failed miserably so he looks at Quinn, “what kind of movies do you like?” “What, you pity me so I get to choose?” “I don’t pity any team I beat, you guys just need to practice more.” Quinn sits up in disbelief, “You assho-“ “stop it!” I cut both of them off.
"Both of you shut up and sit down, I'll choose the movie." I scoff, I actually thought they'd get along. I take the remote from the side table before Nico laid down. I turn on a random movie in a genre that I knew the both of them would like, horror. I huff and lay back down in between them. For the first few minutes of the movie, they sat inches away from me. Though, as the movie went on they got closer and closer until Quinn finally laid his head on me, allowing me to wrap my arm around him. My black dress slacks that I was wearing suddenly became very uncomfortable.
Nico notices my discomfort fast, moving to whisper in my ear. "I have some night pants you can borrow." I look at him and nod, silently begging. He understands and stands up to get them for me. Quinn looks up at me from his resting place on my chest, "M'sorry I was acting like an asshole, just tense." I smile, "It's okay, Quinn. I promise." I reassure him. Nico comes back, tossing the night pants on my lap. I couldn't help but notice that he'd gotten rid of his shirt. He was now only wearing a pair or gray sweatpants that rested dangerously low on his waist. I mentally curse myself when I realize I was caught staring.
I couldn't be bothered to get up to change so instead I pull the covers over myself as Nico rests himself back onto the bed next to me. If I didn't trust both of these men I absolutely would not be doing this. I unbutton my slacks and pull them down before pulling the night pants up. I lean over Quinn and toss the pants into a hamper, knowing I'd get them back sooner or later. I lay back down and feel way better, now able to focus on the movie that I'd already missed the beginning of. Quinn takes his spot back in my arms and Nico decides to get comfy as well.
Nico rests one of his hands under the sweater I was wearing and onto my stomach, resting his head on my shoulder. I never would've thought I'd be sandwiched in between my two best friends. I can't help to get freaked out over the movie I turned on, my instincts making my heart beat faster at any sound I heard. I guess my brain forgot about the two very strong men on either side of me. One particular jump scare on the screen made me feel as if I almost jumped out of my skin.
Nico sat up a bit, pinching his lips shut to keep himself from laughing. "Shut up," I huff and shake my head. "Sorry, pretty girl." He laughs to himself and lays back down. I can't help but let my face heat up at the nickname. His hand never left its spot on my stomach, I'm now finding myself increasingly aware of his calloused fingers drawing shapes on my soft skin. It doesn't help when I feel Quinn move his hand to rest on my thigh.
They had to be reading each other's minds, there was no way they weren't both planning something. I subconsciously move my hips, neither boy failing to notice. A soft pout falls on my lips as I notice the problem forming in my pants. Nicos hand hikes further up under my shirt, his finger running on the wiring on my bra. I don't say anything though, hoping they'd continue their movements.
Only when I felt Quinns hand slowly inch to my core, I got my confirmation on what they were doing. "Quinn..." I whisper softly and he shushes me. His fingers finally reach my core and I suck my bottom lip between my teeth. He faintly rubs just enough where I felt like I needed to whine to get him to touch me harder, but I don't. Quinn pulls the covers down so he can see what he is doing. Due to Nico's hand, that was now cupping my clothed breast, my shirt was riding up already.
"Guys..." I manage to squeak out. "Don't worry, we've got you." Nico says into my ear. I knew they'd stop if I asked them to, but that's the last thing I'd ever want to ask. "Neeks..." "I know, I know." he lifts me to sit up so he can pull my sweater off. His fingers slip around me to unbutton my bra and slip it off, my upper half becoming completely bare to my two best friends. Nico pulls me to lay back down, his lips finding home in pressing sloppy kisses on my chest.
Quinn becomes bold from seeing my naked upper half so he loops his fingers into the waist band of the night pants that Nico let me borrow. He slowly and teasingly pulls them down with my panties. My jaw falls slack at the feeling of Nico reaching my nipple, sucking it into his mouth. Soft whines fall from my lips, my right hand slipping and tangling into his soft hair. As he continues his movements, I move my hand down his back, touching any of the skin of his that I could reach.
Quinn moves up further in between my legs, his soft breath teasing my wet folds. I push my hips down, trying to press myself against his mouth but I fail. "Needy girl," Quinn teases cruelly. His eyes meet mine and his go soft, my soft smile peaking onto his lips. He darts his tongue out to press against my sensitive clit. I gasp and roll my head back in pleasure. It's more than just his tongue now, it's his whole mouth devouring my sopping cunt.
"Need more," I manage to whimper out through the pleasure of their mouths. Nico laughs against my flesh, "Could've asked us for this a long time ago." I don't respond, I can't. "Cum on my tongue and we'll give you more, baby." I just manage to nod. I don't protest as I already feel like I’m going to explode from the pressure. My back arches as tears form in my eyes, my release getting closer and closer. My eyes go white as I feel myself release on Quinn’s tongue.
I can feel his smirk against my cunt as he laps up any juice that spilled from me. He continues his movements to allow me to ride out my high then he pulls away. I look down at him to see him lick his lips with a stupid smile. “You taste amazing” he whispers. The second I catch my breath they’re both pulling away. Nico must of noticed my alarmed expression because he laughs and grabs my hand to press it to his chest.
While Nico does that, Quinn stands up to pull his own shirt off and unties his black sweatpants to pull them down along with his boxers. “Who do you want first?” Nico whispers and I pout with a shrug, “I dunno.” He smiles down at me as if he were admiring my fucked out expression. I look down and notice Quinn moving in between my legs. He moves his hand in front of my mouth, “spit” and I do, right into the palm of his hand. He smirks and brings it down to pump his dick, using it as a lubricant.
“Do you wanna keep going?” Quinn looks up at me for confirmation and I nod fast, “please” and so he lines himself up with my already sopping wet cunt. He goes slow, not wanting to risk hurting me. I moan out loudly, turning to bury my face in Nico’s abs. He laughs and runs his hand through my hair. The stretch is almost unbearable but the second I grind my hips down, Quinn begins his movements. I bite down softly against Nico to hold down my moans and gasps.
He snaps his hips harshly against me, his skin slapping against mine with every thrust. I roll my head away from Nico, my face being full of pleasure. “Think you can take me too?” Nico whispers to me, his fingers running softly over my face, collecting tears to wipe them away. “W-what?” “You can say no” he assures and I shake my head, his words finally clicking in my brain. “J-just-“ a moan from my lips interrupts me, “just go slow.” I manage to spit out and he nods.
Quinn seems to understand what he means so he pulls me with him to lay on our sides. I could hear Nico’s pants fall to the floor just before he slots himself behind me, his lips just behind my ear. His hands run softly on the soft flesh of my ass, his fingers slowly making their way to my tight hole. He leans down to spit, running his finger over me before dipping his finger in the tightness slowly. He takes his time to stretch me out as Quinn holds me tight, fucking me harshly.
Once Nico thinks he’s done a good enough job he spits in his hand and jerks himself for only a moment before lining himself up. He gives Quinn a look and it’s like they are telepathic because Quinn slows down and stops. This allows Nico to slowly push in, careful to not hurt me. He sits there for a long moment, waiting for me to say something. “Please… move” I whine and Nico presses a kiss to my shoulder before doing what I request.
The two boys fuck my holes in sync. My eyes allow tears to flow down my face, I’d never experienced pleasure like this before. The stretch from Nico’s thick dick fills me with even more bittersweet pleasure. My jaw falls slack and I can’t even think straight. The two men fuck me dumb, I can’t manage to say anything or even think anything as they ruin my holes. But I can’t find the mind to even care.
Quinn’s the first to press his lips to mine, his eyes pinched shut tight as he sloppily kisses me, exploring his mouth with my tongue. Nico presses his lips to my neck, sucking harsh marks onto my neck and the parts of my jaw he could reach. Quinns thrusts falter, moving slowly as if he were savoring the experience, as if he were holding out on his orgasm so he didn’t have to pull out of me just yet.
I realize what was happening and I pull away to speak. “Y-you can cum in me… I’m on the pill.” I reassure and as if those words set him off, his cum coats my walls in warm spurts. His moments don’t falter though, his dick fucking the sperm further into me as Nico matched his thrusts. I was so close that I could taste it. “I’m gonna-“ “go ahead, baby girl” Nico whispers and with his words I coat Quinn’s dick with my cum.
The tightening of my orgasm pushes Nico over the edge and he fills up my ass, the sounds coming from the pair made me think that maybe I wouldn’t care too much if my birth control didn’t work. I slow down to a stop but don’t make a move to pull out. We just sit there like that for a few minutes while we come down from our high. “Thank you.” Quinn whispers, resting his head right in front of mine. “Guess you feel better then?” Quinn nods and I smile. “Glad you feel better, princess” Nico reaches over me to jokingly and softly slap Quinn before getting up.
Quinn rolls his eyes as Nico walks into his bathroom to get something. He comes back with a damp rag in his hand. He leans over me and wipes my fucked out holes clean, the sensation sending a shiver down my spine. I presses a kiss to my shoulder and throws the rag in the hamper. I sit up and rub my eyes before attempting to stand up. I nearly fall but I catch my balance and walk towards the bathroom.
I leave the door open as I look in the mirror and my jaw drops. There were deep purple marks scattered all over my skin that even a turtle neck wouldn’t be able to cover. “Nico Hischier, I’m going to kill you.” I hear him laugh from the bed and I huff and walk back into the room. The discarded movie was just now ending and I cross my arms and furrow my brows. “Will you two get along now?” They turn to look at each other and they shrug, looking back to me. “Only if we get to keep you.” Quinn smiles brightly.
I huff and crawl back in between them, “I wasn’t planning on taking myself away.” I don’t care to cover myself by the blanket, I just lay on my back in between them. Nico turns off the lamp on his side table and resumes his original spot, his hand on my stomach and head on my shoulder. Quinn does the same, his hand on my thigh and head on my chest. “Get some sleep, the both of you.” “Yes ma’am” one of them says but I can’t quite make out who as I fall into a deep sleep.

More Hearts Than Mine -Meeting His Family
~More Hearts Than Mine by Ingrid Andress~ Author's Note: I forgot that Jack didn't play this game lowkey so pretend Jack is playing <3 Also I don't really like this one as much as the other one but it's still cute Summary: Y/N meets Luke's family for the first time Warning: cursing? maybe lowkey forgot Word Count: 3,128 Luke Hughes x fm!reader
Tumblr media
It was several hours before the game even started and she was standing in the bathroom finishing up the final touches of her makeup as her heart was beginning to pound. Today was a huge day for his family. It was the second time in their careers where the Hughes brothers would be playing together. Sure, it was a big deal when Jack and Quinn did it before but now that Luke was officially on the team it's become even more exciting.
It had happened once already in Vancouver. But since this was going to be the last time this season it would occur. His parents flew out to Jersey to experience it. Which meant she would be meeting his parents and Quinn for the first time. 
Him meeting her family was a little different as her family was normal. His family was an empire. Sure, the few times they’ve briefly met on FaceTime went well. But it was completely different where she would be left alone with his parents for the entirety of the game. 
Luke was left alone for a maximum four minutes with her family the entire three days he was there visiting. Obviously there were different circumstances but it was scary. They were planning on getting a late lunch before the game started to see each other since Quinn had to leave early the next day. She delicately tapped her finger against the underbags of her eyes trying to see if the product will stay. Luke peeked his head through the bedroom door, his hair still messily laid across his forehead. 
“Hey beautiful,” he muttered as a small smile spread across his lips. She rolled her eyes as she fought off a smile forming on her lips. “We’re going to meet them at my place first and walk from there,” he explained as he leaned his body against the door frame. All she could muster up was a nod. “Baby, it’s going to be fine,” he whined out as he walked towards her, wrapping his arms around her waist. 
“Was that helpful when I said that to you last week?” she asked, her head tilting to the side. He clenched his jaw as he fought the giggle leaving his throat. “Would they be weirded out if I wore your jersey to the game?” she asked, her eyes forming a puppy dog look.
“Oh my god, please wear it,” he muttered as he delicately pressed his lips to her cheek. “My dad was trying to figure out if he was going to wear mine or Jack’s, so if you wear mine the decisions already made,” 
She squinted her eyes as she looked towards him through the mirror, “So your mom just was planning on wearing Quinn’s?” she asked a small chuckle leaving her lips. 
“She wore Jack’s last time,” he said in a shrug. Y/N began pulling away from him walking towards her dresser to add some jewelry to her outfit. 
“Remind me to stop after we have two kids, I can’t handle all that,” she said nonchalantly. She froze for a moment waiting to see if Luke would comment on it.
He simply smiled and said, “Well what if we have a kid that likes theatre and not sports?”
“Well, then I’ll consider having another one,” she mumbled, avoiding his eye as she struggled putting on the necklace. Luke walked towards her, taking note of her struggling. She pulled her hair away from her neck as he also struggled to get the necklace on. But she didn’t mind, she liked him being that close. 
“So you want at least two kids?” he questioned as he finally settled the necklace. She spun around and met his gaze shyly.
“I’m sorry I said that, it’s too early-”
“No it's not,” he said as he rested his hand on her cheek, “It’s good we talk about those things now,” he let out before he delicataely pressed his lips to hers for a brief moment. “So, two kids?” 
“Three,” she let out with a smile. He nodded as they started walking out of her bedroom.
“Three’s a good number, we know that very well,” he said as he chuckled slightly. 
“How many kids do you want?” she asked him as she watched him grab his keys from the kitchen countertop. He shrugged.
“However many you and your uterus decide,” he said in a teasing tone as he checked his phone. She barked out a laugh. “Come on, Jack’s getting hangry,” he mumbled as he took a hold of her hand guiding through her apartment building.
~
They stopped just outside of his apartment door, when he started to turn the door knob, “Wait,” she mumbled. He shifted his gaze towards her bright eyes. She was taking unsteady breaths, “What if they hate me?” she asked barely above a whisper. His eyes widened as he shook his head. “I mean, I’m the first girl you’ve brought home, what if-” he shut her up by taking a hold of her cheeks and kissing her. She felt her body relax as he kissed her. “Huh, that really does work,” she mumbled as she pulled away.
He nodded his head, “Like magic,” he said with a dramatic wink before he pushed the door open. He rested his hand onto her lowerback as he guided her into the apartment. 
“Fucking finally, I’m starving. Can we go?” Jack said as he jumped up from his sitting position on the couch. Luke rolled his eyes as he kept his hand on her lowerback as they walked past the kitchen. His parents stood up from the couch with wide grins on their lips. Quinn remained on the couch, shyly watching his youngest brother show off his girlfriend. 
“Jack, it’s not about you, remember?” his father jokes. Jack huffed as he sat down back where he was sitting before. 
“I told you guys, she’s cool. Do we really need to do this whole thing?” Jack muttered, crossing his arms over his chest. Y/N smiled softly as she scanned the apartment.
“Yes, we see a new girlfriend of yours like every two months. Y/N must be pretty special if Lukey wants to bring her home,” Ellen said as she walked towards Luke giving him a big hug before she walked towards Y/N to give her one as well. “Oh, you smell lovely,” 
“Thank you,” Y/N mumbled, unsure of how to react to the land of royalty she was in. She was being dramatic but now she feels guilty for giving Luke so much grief of him being afraid to meet her family. His father walked towards the pair giving Luke a huge hug before he walked towards Y/N giving her a brief hug. 
“How was your morning?” Ellen asked Y/N and she took a hesitant breath. The quick conversation she had with Luke regarding the possibility of kids popped in her mind. She wasn’t going to say that.
“It was good! We stopped and got coffee in the coffee shop in my apartment building before we got ready to come over here.” she replied with a smile on her lips. 
“Oh what’s your drink?” Ellen asked as Luke wandered towards the center of the living room to see Quinn eyeing Y/N and his parents. 
Quinn would never admit it but he was overly protective over Luke. He was the definition of the older brother role to a T. “You gonna stop being an ass and meet my girlfriend?” Luke asked teasingly as he kicked his leg against Quinn’s shin. Luke turned his head around to see Y/N talking happily with his parents. His heart fluttered slightly at the sight. 
“Was starting to think you didn’t know what a girlfriend was,” Quinn chirped as he stood up from the couch to wander towards his parents and Y/N. 
Luke smiled half heartily as he wanted towards the group as well. He quickly planted himself beside her, looping his arm around her waist. She was tense and nervous and feeling his arm around her body calmed her down.
“I’m Quinn,” he let out as he reached his hand out, she responded by shaking his hand. “Luke says your brother plays hockey?” he asked. She nodded dramatically. 
“Yeah, he’s a goalie,” she mumbles. Quinn nods before Jack lets out another loud dramatic groan. 
“We should probably feed him,” Ellen mumbles as she awkwardly bumped her arm against Y/N. 
“Thank you, my God,” he groaned as he stood up from the couch, heading straight towards the front door. 
His family exited the apartment, practically in a line with Luke and Y/N hanging in the back as he hand did soothing circles across her lower back. “Are you doing okay?” he whispered as they were in their own bubble as his family were joking together a few feet ahead of them. 
“Pretty sure I can’t breathe, but I’m okay,” she let out as they walked closer to his family to get engaged in the conversation. He rolled his eyes playfully as they walked towards the restaurant that was only two street lights away. 
“When did you move to the city?” his mom asked her as they continued down the street towards the restaurant.
“I moved here when I was eighteen, I’m studying to be a secondary teacher,” she explained. 
“Any specific speciality?” his dad asked. 
“I think I want to do more math or sciences, I haven’t really decided which side I want to go yet,” 
They walk into the hole-in-the-wall rustic restaurant in a huge group, Quinn already called ahead to reserve a large booth for them to eat at. It was a typical pub place, some limited things on what the boys could eat before the game but it was close. The hosts guided them to the back corner of the restaurant where there were corner booths that could hold up to eight people. 
Luke guided her into the booth so she would sit between him and Jack, the two people she was comfortable with. Quinn scooted in beside Luke, allowing his parents to sit beside Jack. Luke quickly began running his hand up and down her thigh trying to calm her down. 
“This place is cute, do you guys come here often?” Ellen looked between the three of them. 
“If we win, we usually get dinner here,” Jack said as he flipped the menu open.
“Y/N and I’ve come here a few times for lunch,” Luke said as he smiled towards his mom. She smiled softly towards her youngest as she dropped her gaze towards her menu.
“What do you usually get, Y/N?” his dad asked. 
~~~
She stood in Luke’s bathroom as she adjusted her makeup from earlier in the day. Luke stood beside her as he contemplated on wearing a hat with his dark blue checkered suit he was wearing. He leaned behind Y/N and threw the hat through the doorway to land on his bed. He sighed as he turned on the faucet to get his hair slightly wet. 
“You okay?” she asked as he took in a sharp breath as he ran his fingers through his hair. He sighed, avoiding her gaze.
“Hate playing against Quinn,” he mumbled as he then begna to take a hold of some gel to run through his hair.
“You guys will do great,” she reassured as she dropped her mascara back into her makeup back. She took a small step towards him as she delicately rested her hand onto the center of his back as she ran reassuring circles. 
“He’s fucking rockin’ right now-”
“So are you,” she muttered as she pressed her lips against his shoulder as she met his gaze in the mirror. He smiled softly as he saw his mom lurking beside the door, his cheeks flushing red. Y/N pulled away from him as she began fixing her hair slightly.
“Mom,” he let out breathily as he shook his head. She smiled awkwardly as she chuckled nervously. 
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to sneak up on you two,” she said as she raised her eyebrows excitedly, “There’s a lot of family and friends that decided to come to the game. Suite’s going to be a bit more crowded than I thought. Just wanted to give you and Y/N a heads up,” she said as she tapped her hand against the door frame before she walked out of his bedroom. Y/N’s eyes widened as she shifted her body towards Luke. His own eyes went wide.
“It’ll be fine!” he offered as he quickly wrapped his arms around her body and pulled her closely to his. 
“Lukey! If you are not ready in five, I’m leaving without you!” Jack shouted from the living room. Luke pulled away as he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers urgently. She responded by running her hand along the base of his neck.
“That’s a handy new trick,” he mumbled against her lips before he pulled away from her and looked back at his own reflection. His entire body relaxed as he took a deep breath. “It’ll be okay, it’ll be fine,” he let out trying to convince himself and Y/N. He quickly kissed her cheek, “Bye, my love, I’ll see you after the game,” he said, meeting her gaze before he walked out of the bathroom. She smiled towards him before looking back into her own reflection.
She was prepared to spend hours alone with his parents but multiple family members, extended family he rarely even sees. It was terrifying. 
As she was applying lip gloss, his mom entered the bathroom again. A nervous smile on her lips. “Luke said you were gorgeous but you are even more pretty in person,” she said as she looked into Y/N’s eyes through the mirror. 
Y/N’s heart hit hard against her chest as she tilted her head to the side. “That’s really sweet, thank you,” she mumbled as she brushed her hair away from her face. 
“Does he treat you well?” she asked.
Y/N turned her gaze towards his mom and smiled softly. “He’s a gentleman and kind and he makes me laugh. I’m not saying this just to say it when he genuinely makes me a happier person,” she explained, her voice cracking up slightly as she spoke. 
“After every game he brings me a singular rose to add to my vase in the kitchen. Even on road trips, he’ll bring back a few roses. I’m not even sure how he gets them, we travel to the arena together a lot and somehow after he leaves the locker room he has a rose in his hand!” she said chuckling, Ellen began laughing too, “I’m sure he gets one of the interns to get it for him or he has a secret stash in the locker room. I have no idea.”
Ellen pulled her into a hug as she sniffled slightly, “Had no idea he was such a romantic.”
~~~
The game ended in a disappointing loss for the Devils but it hurts a little less only because it was Quinn’s team. Luke’s parents and Y/N were waiting for Luke and Jack to leave the locker room when Quinn jogged towards the three of them. 
He hugged his parents, “I’m glad you guys were here,” he said as he pulled away. He walked towards Y/N giving her a hug as well. She hesitantly returned the hug as this was the first time Quinn truly acknowledged Y/N’s presence, “He’s smitten over you,” he whispered against her hair before he pulled away. She felt her cheeks heat up at the sentiment. 
“Good game, son,” Jim muttered as he slapped his hand against Quinn’s arm. Quinn smiled before he dropped his gaze.
“We’re flying out soon, I wanted to say goodbye before I bolted out of here,” he muttered before he hugged his parents again. Y/N tuned out the conversation as she watched a few of the Devil’s players leave the locker room. It was usual for Jack and Luke to emerge later in the crowd especially after a loss. “It was nice meeting you, Y/N!” he shouted as he jogged back towards the away team locker room. 
After a few more minutes Jack and Luke began walking out of the locker room in the same suits they wore heading into the game. Luke walked out holding out a singular rose with a blush spread across his cheeks.
“You weren’t kidding,” Ellen let out as Luke continued towards Y/N. She glanced towards his mom before she walked towards him.
She gladly took a hold of the rose as she gave him a hug, “I’m sorry about the game,” she mumbled as she pulled away. He shrugged before he pressed his lips to the side of her head before he walked over and met up with Jack and his parents.
“They’re disgusting,” Jack muttered as they continued towards the parking garage, Jim and Ellen laughed as they gave Luke a quick hug before they walked towards their cars.
~~~
She had stepped out of the shower, running her fingers through her hair as she started to walk towards the living room when she overheard Luke talking in his living room.
“You like her?” he asked his mom.
“Luke, she seems perfect for you. She’s a little shy like you but she makes you happy, right?” Ellen offered. Y/N smiled to herself, feeling her heart swell. 
“You have no idea, Mom,” he let out with a huff of air. 
Y/N walked away from the door towards the bed as she slowly laid down onto the mattress, she smiled to herself.
After another ten minutes, Luke snuck into the bedroom, a hoodie covering his body with a pair of black sweatpants. He shut the door delicately behind him, standing by the door he stared towards her with such admiration. She met his eye as she watched him pull his lips between his teeth.
“What?” she asked softly as he shook his head. He excitedly jumped onto the bed, she erupted in giggles as he submerged her body beneath his. “What are you doing?” she asked as he rested his head onto her chest. He slowly ran his hand up and down her side.
“I just feel like I haven’t seen you,” he muttered as he delicately pressed his lips against her exposed collarbone. Her hands slowly ran through his curls that were damp from the shower he took earlier after the game. “I miss being alone with you,” he muttered as he shut his eyes. She hummed as she delicately pressed her lips against his forehead.

hii! i love your writing so far <3 could i request some quinn angst (or jack if you'd prefer to write abt him 🫣) maybe like the reader overhears him saying something hurtful (calling them clingy maybe) and starts to distance themselves from him.. and how they would navigate that
of course! your wish is my command, darling
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
quinn hughes x fem!reader
genre: angst
word count: 934
warnings: hurtful words said by quinn
Tumblr media
your heart pounds in your chest. you really didn’t mean to eavesdrop, really. it was a harmless act. you were going to bring clothes from the laundry room to his bedroom, prepared to help him put his clothes away. but the second you heard your name slip from quinn’s mouth, you couldn’t help yourself.
you really wish you had just walked away.
“i love her, i really do.” quinn sighs, “sometimes it can be a bit much though, y’know?”
you gulp as you stand outside the door, listening in as your body falls cold.
“i like my space, everyone knows that.” quinn says nonchalantly.
you had heard enough. you dropped the basket of clothes outside his bedroom door before grabbing your keys and walking out his front door.
quinn scrunches his eyebrows, hearing the slight slam of the door. he quickly hangs up the call with his brother and opens his door. his feet fall short from his steps as he notices the laundry basket just sitting there. he curses under his breath, surely you had heard the call. maybe more than he had wanted and less than he anticipated. it makes him run a hand through his hair, immediately calling you.
when his call goes to voicemail, he stares at his screen in ache. he understands. he knows what he said was wrong. he should have addressed to you first how he felt. you shouldn’t have had to hear it over a phone call with his younger brother.
he could only really imagine how puffy your eyes looked right now. how you would silently cry so no one else noticed. how you would wipe your tears as quickly as they came. his heart ached. he never meant to hurt you. honestly, he wasn’t really sure if what he said was true.
he enjoyed your company. he loved it, actually. and quinn was starting to fear the attachment he had grown towards you in just a year. your relationship was still all about navigating right now, and he wasn’t sure how to approach this situation.
his only logical thinking was to give you space. but it hurt his heart as days passed, and you still didn’t reach out. your distance was hard for him. he was missing something he didn’t know he would miss so badly. the way you always lingered around him and checked in on him. the way you made him tea to relax his muscles from a long day of practice. the way you would hug him tightly the second he came home from a tiring game.
he missed it all so much.
how was he going to fix any of this?
quinn didn’t have a logical thought as he rushed towards your apartment. clicking the elevator floor you lived on, approaching your door and knocking just three times.
when your door opened, he was greeted with an exhausted look on your face. your eyes widened, before your gaze turned cold and you turned your chin up at him. you didn’t want to appear weak. you didn’t want to seem like you needed him anymore.
“baby,” he says just above a whisper, and you can hear the strain in his voice.
you look at him, not saying a word as you cross your arms. he could feel how uncomfortable you were. it was tearing him apart.
“i’m so sorry.” he leans forward a bit, still careful not to enter the comforts of your home. he wasn’t sure he was welcomed anymore. “i know what you heard. i know i said shit that made it sound like i was tired of you.” quinn watches as your eyes turn glossy, avoiding his gaze at his words, “but i need you to know, you’re never too much for me. sure, i like my time alone. but that never compares to the time i spend by your side. i’m so fucking scared. genuinely,” he breathes out a sigh, “i’m so scared that i’ll get too close and ruin everything. i may have already done that, but you mean a lot more to me than you know. i said those things out of fear. i wasn’t even sure i meant them when i said them. and, now, i know i didn’t mean it. losing you for even just a few days was a price i had to pay to realize that, and i’m sorry that’s what it took for me to see it.”
his words sink through you and consume you like sponge. you’re soaking every word and digesting them like it was your own personal bible. like he was your religion.
you lick your lips, not saying anything as you hurriedly drag him inside your apartment. he doesn’t protest, loving the feeling of your skin finally on his, even if it was just your hand on his. he missed it, causing sparks to run through his body.
“i forgive you,” you look at him, still holding his hand.
“i’ll never make a mistake like that again.” quinn confesses. and it’s like he’s in a confession stand.
“i know.” and you do. you trust him.
“can i kiss you?” quinn doesn’t stop himself from leaning close to you, “i missed you so, so bad.”
you only nod, and he doesn’t waste time bringing your lips to his. it felt like coming home. it was a lock in time, making your head spin as you realized just how much you missed the way he tasted, the way he felt. it was electric, bringing you back to life all over again.
quinn vowed to never hurt you again.

Tumblr media
The soft glow of the morning sun softly stirred you from the depths of slumber that clung to your mind like cooling tar. It couldn’t have been that early, could it? Your toes sought to stretch out, but were hindered in their efforts, ensnared by a pair of taut, strong legs.  Eyes fluttering open, you were immediately met with soft, tan skin and pink, parted lips. 
Has he always looked so peaceful like this?
Your lip quirked, eyes tracing over each fine feature of his face. You almost felt like you were intruding, seeing something truly vulnerable and rare, like a doe tending to her fawn in a free meadow. His soft puffs of breath washed over the crisp white pillow case, his feather-light eyelashes brushing against the soft material as you silently admired him in the morning light. You snaked your arm from between your bodies, letting the back of your forefinger brush against the slight scruff of his exposed cheek, drifting to his temple, and softly brushing some of the stray blond strands of hair away from his forehead. Your teeth find their home in your bottom lip as you gently trace his cupid bow with the pad of your forefinger. A soft sigh passed his lips that almost had you jolting against his warm body that was intimately intertwined with your own, retracting your finger with a suppressed bright grin. 
It made you eternally grateful for saying yes to Jake in the frayed maroon booth of Francisco’s. You were so scared and unsure, like a newborn foal shakily coming to its feet. The memories of your arrangement came through your mind like a gale through a house on the coast.  
From how he started calling you Lass the first night you started working at Penny’s bar.  
When he kissed you for the first time.
Left his first love bite on your neck.
Unraveled you like no one ever had.
Held you oh so closely at the retirement gala and fiercely defended you at the turn of a dime. 
How he held you securely, yet delicately. 
Was so kind and understanding during your first time, and with every experience thereafter. 
How he never looked at you with pity.
The immense sense of safety you felt when around him. 
How much you loved him, and how much he loved you in return. 
“What’s goin’ on in that pretty head of yours?” 
His sleep riddled tone broke your train of thought, eyes flashing to his still closed ones. You hummed, lips morphing into a smile. A content smile grew on his lips as you gently scratched your nails along his scalp, eyes still closed. “Just thinking,” you whisper. He peaked his eyes open, letting the sunlight pass through the verdant hue of his eyes. His eyebrows rose teasingly. “Hmm, about how much of an amazing lover I am?” You bit into your lip, shaking your head as a grin overcomes your features, a soft laugh coming through your plush lips that makes him grin. “No,” you teased, softly shoving his bare chest with your hand, a soft chuckle passing his lips, “just how much has changed for the both of us since that night at Francisco's.” He hummed, letting his hand settle at your waist, gently toying with the thin material of your cotton panties that made goosebumps blossom on your skin. 
“Only good things, I hope,” he whispered as he leaned in closer to your lips. 
“Only good things,” you affirmed, eyes darting from his eyes to his lips. 
His comforting smile met yours, gently nudging more and more into your personal space with an increasingly heated energy. He gently rolled you onto your back as he supported himself on his bent elbow, his finger gently running along the smooth skin of your collarbone. Softly, he separates, letting his forehead settle against your own and giving you that same charming smile that had you pouring him an extra few ounces at the bar top. 
“God, you drive me crazy, Caledonia.” 
Your breath hitched at the heavy sincerity of his tone that almost makes you clutch your thighs in need. And the way he said your name always, always, made you giddy. 
 “Aw, Jake, you just can’t get enough of me, huh?” You teased with a playful gleam in your eye. A perfect mix of playfulness and lust gliding through the waters of his irises. 
"I'm not entirely to blame for that," he whispered, leaning in closer to your face, his hand sneaking under the covers to run his thumb along your hip, "You're the one laying here in your tiny pair of panties makin’ it hard to think about much else." You snorted, rolling your eyes as his infectious chuckles met your ears. He brings his lips to your own, humming at your taste as your lips meld to his, languidly making out like two well-acquainted lovers. Moans slipping past your lips as his calloused hand gently slips between your hot skin and the thin layer of your undergarment, your thigh adjusting to grant him better access. Breath hitching against his lips as the tips of his fingers meet your clit. He smirks against your lips, starting to rub the pads of his fingers over your sensitive pearl of nerves. The soft whines he pulls from you stroke his steadily beating heart, encouraging him to continue his soft, tender ministrations as his lips trail down your neck to your bare breasts, gently pulling the sheets down below you. He smiles against your skin at the feeling of your nipples stiffening in the AC. Your hips bucking in anticipation against his hand. 
“Easy there, Lass.” You want to glare at him. The smug bastard. He wears his cat-got-the-cream grin as he takes your slowly stiffening peak into his mouth, softly nibbling and toying with the sensitive flesh. His tongue peaks out to tantalizingly flick at your taut nipples, almost making you taste blood with how hard you’re biting into your lip. Squirming as he softly bites down, making you cry out, almost missing him start to crawl down your body, and settle between your plush thighs. His eyes meet yours, that same playful gleam as he slides your panties down your thick thighs. Breath hitching as he leaves tender kisses along your ankle, to behind your knee to the inside of your thigh. He takes a deep breath, his cock throbbing at the sight of your bare cunt, gleaming in the morning sunlight, like morning dew on a petal. His gaze pinpoints on a single drop of your peach sweet essence that teases him as it rolls down your blush pink folds. His tongue peaks out to wet his lower lip. 
“Jake.”
His eyes flashed to yours, a wry grin curving his lips, “what is it, pretty girl? What do you need?” You huffed, thighs clenching around his shoulders in the volatile brew of lust and frustration. His smile grew tenfold.
“Need your mouth.” 
The taste of iron is almost present as your teeth imbed themselves into your lower lip.
He hummed, letting his hand run along the sensitive complexion of your inner thighs. His chest filling with pride at each shiver and flinch of your thighs against his feather soft caress. 
“You're missing something, beautiful.” 
Your eyebrows furrowed in your lust hazed state. What the hell was he- oh. “Your such a fucking tease, you know that?” His eyebrows rose vexingly, waiting for you to rectify your statement that was borderline a command to keep your sanity in check. 
You licked your lips, “Please, J-Jake, I need your mouth on my pussy.”
His smirk grew into a devilish grin. 
“Good girl, Lass… can't have you forgetting your manners.”
Your breathing hitched, fingers twisting harder into his locks of hair making him groan. Any defiant answer died on your lips as he toyed with your clit using the tip of his tongue. His mischievous eyes locked on yours as he teasingly flicked at your clit, caressing it with his smooth muscle. His sinful smile grew across his face as his tongue worked its steadily overwhelming magic on you, each shot of electricity making your toes curl. 
“You're like m’own personal honey stash,” he chuckled, giving your flushed folds a broad lick, a deep chested groan of satisfaction meeting your ears. Eyes fluttering shut as his dextrous muscle met your plush bundle of nerves, the feeling like the return of spring after a barren winter. You can feel him rocking his hips into the mattress as he nibbled and sucked at the soaked lips of your cunt. It made your head spin thinking about how this man acted when it came to getting on his knees for you. 
“So fucking perfect, taste so damn good, sweetheart.” You shivered as he growled, his tongue running through your folds, lapping up everything you offered to him. You’re helpless, laying on your back cushioned by his soft sheets and pillows as he drinks from your flushed cunt. Your thighs try to squeeze around his head but his broad hand pins one of your thighs above your hip, his free hand placing your other thigh over his shoulder, leaving you completely at his mercy. No choice, but to let him softly feast on you. “Oh, yes,” you crooned, thighs shivering as his stubble scratched at the delicate complexion of your inner thigh, your fingers threading tighter into his locks of hair making a sly grin overtake his features and eyes glint with mischief. The obscene slurps and groans from between your thighs made your cheeks heat, his hands almost trying to physically conjoin to your hips and pinned thigh. It wouldn't surprise you if you found marks in perfect resemblance to his broad hands on your thighs from his ministrations. 
“Yes, yes, I missed your mouth so much,” you moaned out with a whimper. His eyes fluttering shut as your nails pierce into his scalp, weaving into his gilded tufts of hair. The tantalizing touch of the blunt-edged, ruby red nails digging into his scalp paired with the sweet, intoxicating taste that dribbled from your cunt made his spine tingle between his hips. He could definitely get used to lazy mornings like this with you, savoring and worshiping your body the way it deserved- the way it always deserved. He let his lips leave your cunt, your soft whines marking his exit. Softly, he lathed kisses on the inside of your thighs, sucking and nibbling at the tender flesh. Your mewls of pleasure and increasing neediness made the marks he left on you that much sweeter. Beautiful blotches of magenta, lavender and deep blue litter your thighs and thick hips. 
He gently teased two of his thick fingers at the ingress of your cunt, letting them run through your folds and soak up the sweet nectar you always gave him an abundance of. You tugged at his hair, “Jake, please.” He chuckled against your thighs, littering one last blotch of color to his favorite canvas. 
“Shh, princess, I’m just takin’ my time, no need to get hasty.” 
You pouted, making him chuckle, and that saccharine grin that always made your stomach flip to grace his features. Your breath hitched as he pushed his fingers in, letting your walls embrace his welcomed digits. He whistled, “jus’ like a hot knife through butter, baby.” A fresh wave of heat courses through you at his drawl, the vice of your cunt tightening around his fingers, much to his delight. He gently brought his tongue back to your sopping cunt that gushed beautifully for him. Thrusting into your soft, welcoming embrace, his tongue danced along your clit. Toying with your sanity with each playful suck and nibble of your sensitive gem. Your hitched breaths and mewls filled his bedroom as every cohesive thought left your head. He felt your hands move frantically between grasping the back of his head and the pillow beneath your own.
"Oh, Jake." 
He swore he would never get used to the wanton, sultry, desperate tone your voice took in this state. A high pitched whine left your throat as your thighs shook against his iron hold. 
His fingers continuing their steady rhythm into your dripping cunt, against that sweet, delicious, little spot that had your mind hazy and incoherent syllables leaving your perfect lips. Your eyes clenched shut, silent screams, and broken cries leave your lips as he pulls your release from you. Playing your body and mind with the ease of a professional violinist in concert. 
His lips lathed open-mouthed kisses along the insides of your plush thighs, gleaming eyes dancing to your teary ones as he diligently watched you return back to your body. His fingers moving at the same soft pace, relishing in your walls fluttering around his thick digits like the butterflies he got in his stomach whenever you smiled at him. 
He knew you could handle another one; it was all part of making up for lost time. He softly brought his hand up, gliding it along your skin, to settle at your breast; fondling, squeezing, and pinching at your taut nipple, smirking at the noises he brought past your lips. 
"Such a good girl…missed taking care of you like this," His thick, sleep graveled drawl made your walls clench around his fingers. You hummed, a soft whine passing your throat. 
He grinned from his spot between your legs, "you missed that too, Lass? Missed when I took care of my pretty, little pussy? Stuffed you full with m’ fingers." You feverishly nodded, a whine passing your lips. His lips quickly advancing back to your swollen folds, languidly toying with your already sensitive clit. 
A hiss leaves your throat at a particularly harsh suck, clit throbbing between his soft lips. If there was one thing you’d learned from your time with Jake, he loved, no, craved, being the best. He needed there to be no doubt in your mind that he was the best candidate for taking care of you; whether that was eating you out or fucking you into the mattress. And if that meant he made you lose your mind at the hand of his sinful tongue and intoxicating cock, then that was the sacrifice he was willing to make. 
"Fuck, baby." Your sweet gasp made his cock throb against his sheets. Eyes clenched shut, your nails dug into his hand and the back of his head. He moved his fingers more diligently, feeling your pretty noises and the constriction of your walls increase so. A sharp cry left your lips as he gave a delicious suck to your clit. 
You’re far too sensitive, his mouth too much. 
Chest heaving as you summoned any strength you had to push his head away, your release following suit with a shriek. He shuddered at the gush of liquid downing his chin and neck, immediately forcing his way back to your dripping cunt, your hands clawing at his head and the back of his neck as he claimed your cunt again, latching back onto your poor, abused clit, letting it leave his mouth with a lecherous pop, feeling a few spurts leave your pussy as your whines of pleasure met his ears. 
"Such a perfect girl, squirtin' all over me," his tone a mix between a growl and pure awe. Your thighs shook at the overwhelming feeling of his savory timbre. If all of your brain cells hadn't been fried, you might have been embarrassed. He thrusted his fingers more diligently, keeping his gaze on you.
"Come on, beautiful, I know you have at least one more for me," he purred, giving you that same panty dropper grin that made you blush at the bar top as his fingers stroked that sweet spot inside you, a string of your arousal linking his lips to your cunt, shining in the light through his curtains. Your liquid lust makes his chest and shoulders glimmer with the light peeking between the shades. You feverishly nodded, letting out a pathetic, little whimper. He wracked your lower body with the strength of his entire arm, making you mewl and cry out. Nails digging into his taut forearm, his veins bulging with exertion. You could feel your core tighten, and as he removed his fingers, your release coated his bare chest and bed sheets. 
"Such a good job, Caledonia, such a good girl squirtin' around my fingers." He goaded with pride, his breathing heavy as he rubbed his open palm over your flushed folds and engorged clit. Shocks of intense pleasure racked your brain, sharp gasps leaving your lips, your hands shooting to keep his hand still. 
He smirked, a small chuckle passing his lips as he settled on softly rolling your tender clit between his forefinger and thumb. Your mind tried to grasp any semblance of normal brain function, but with Jake touching you oh so sinfully, it was fruitless. Your chest swelled and fell as soft sparks of pleasure shot up your body as your hands softly clutched at his own. He lathed soft, open-mouthed kisses along your plush inner thighs as you slowly came down from your high, your breathing heavy still.  
Shakily, you sit up and reach out to him, bringing your lips to his, passionately savoring the heavenly combination of your taste and his natural one as your tongues meld together like metal; melting and emulsifying into a perfect alloy. He chuckled as he felt your nails tangle into his hair. Gently crawling over him, you pushed him down onto his back as you kept your lips on his with a soft thump against his sheets. A mischievous smile breaks out as you see his eyes gleam, his breath hitching at the change in position. His hard length twitched against the flesh of your ass, an immense sense of pride filling you.  
You had this effect on him. No one else.
You.
Your soft breaths met his ears as you ran your palms over his toned chest, down to his chiseled abs, tantalizingly scratching your nails along his flesh, goosebumps following in their wake, head still spinning from the intense high that wracked your brain. He swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing as he watched you scoot further down to settle over his knees, his cock thick and hard, standing at attention for you. Watching as he bites his lip, his pupils fully dilated, hiding that lovely shade of green, his chest heaves as he waits with anticipation. His breath hitches as you grasp his hot, throbbing cock with the perfect amount of pressure. You spit on his dick, demanding the attention of the man below you, letting the viscous fluid dribble down from your pink lips to his sensitive tip. He twitched in your hand, making you grasp him tighter, shooting him a flirtatious smile that makes his stomach flip. His eyes clenched shut, his tongue wetting his lower lip in anticipation. 
“Cal-sweetheart.”
You smirked, grasping his cock harder in your silken palm. 
“I think you're forgetting something.”
He turned his chin down to get a better look at you and the bratty look in your eye. 
His Adam's apple bobbed and cock twitched in your hand. Your grin widened at the sight, posture straightening at the further change in power, a special gleam in your eye he didn't see often. His broad hands knead at your thick hips and thighs. 
“Cal-.” 
“Come on handsome, I'm not the only one that needs to have manners.” You said wantonly as you gave his engorged length a squeeze, one of your manicured nails drawing hearts on his Adonis belt and abdominal muscles as you waited patiently. His muscles softly twitching under your tantalizing touch. 
He bit his lip, a scoff bubbling from his throat making your grin widen. “Such a fuckin’ minx,” he growled. A teasing chuckle leaves your lips as you lean down to place a feather soft kiss to his swollen tip, making him sigh and eyes flutter shut. A gentle squeeze to his balls has his words leaving before he can think. 
“Fuck, cal-, please.”
You grinned, clearly pleased with yourself  as you lean down, letting your tongue run up the length of him. "Fuck, sweetheart," he croaked, eyes fluttering shut. You look so perfect like this, he thought. "Missed your pretty mouth so much," he groaned, rambling as his eyes clenched shut as you playfully sucked at his red, inflamed tip. Your heart and walls fluttered at his words. "Mhm, I missed sucking your thick cock," you purred, pumping his length. His stomach jumping at your confident, lustful tone. You were getting more and more confident with each perfect, tantalizing moment with you. 
Especially with that little please stunt. 
And he loved every second of it. 
He had a feeling you would outmatch him one day, and he needed to be the one to experience it. He’s completely entranced by your molten lapis lazuli gaze as you sucked a love bite on the underside of his throbbing dick. His eyes clenched shut with a hiss, your perfect, soft hands squeezing his balls as you continued your sinful acts. "Fuck, your mouth is perfect-so fuckin' good, Caledonia," he growled, his hips bucking into your hand. Each squeeze of your hand and impure suck to his tip had the thread of his soul reeling loose from its spindle. Every coherent thought seemed to dissipate as you soaked his cock with your perfect mouth. You held his length, giving him a sultry smile as you pushed your copper locks over your shoulder to the other side. His hand quickly intertwined with your soft, wavy hair, letting his fingers card through the strands. The way your hair glowed in the morning light and how your perfect, pink lips wrapped around his saliva soaked cock made his core tighten and heart flutter. He sighed as you gripped his hips, nails digging into his adonis belt as you brought your mouth down over his swollen dick, savoring each ridge and crevice of his fat cock with your tongue. 
"Shit! So fuckin' good, baby." 
If you didn't know any better, it almost sounded like the cocky, self-assured Hangman was pleading for you. You let him leave your mouth with a pop, "does that feel nice, handsome? Feeling me suck your dick like a goddamn bomb pop?" He feverishly nodded, willing to let you do whatever you want to him. 
"God, I love how thick you are, feel so good in my mouth and balls deep in my pussy," you moaned out, eyes full of intense flames of lust as you stroked him with a steady rhythm.
Fuck, where did you learn to talk like that?
He realized how stupid of a question that was. 
His chest heaves, his breathing shaky as low moans passed his lips as you quite literally sucked his life source from his throbbing cock. His eyes clenched shut as his load is about to burst, hips bucking into your mouth. "Oh, fuck, sweets, keep doing that, such a good girl." He choked out, his eyes rolling back as you gave him a sinful, perfect suck to his tip. You squeezed his hips harder as they became wracked with tremors, feeling his hand desperately reach the back of your head, fingers intertwining with the soft strands. “Holy shit, Caledonia.” He gritted his teeth as he groaned, his back arching as his release hit the back of your throat in thick ropes, almost startling you as his hand kept your head in place. His slightly salty taste eased you as you continued to lathe your tongue around his dick, collecting any last remnant of his release. Jake's breathing evened out as he recovered, opening his eyes to you placing a sweet, oh so tender kiss to his tip.
 It would almost make him smile if it didn't make his dick twitch. 
You licked your lips, letting your gaze meet his blissed out one, giggling at the sight of his bed hair, and soft, rosy cheeks. His breath hitched as you licked the last of his essence from your fingers. Crawling back up and over him, you gently placed a kiss on his lips. The taste of himself on your lips making his core ache in reinvigorated need. 
"How was that?" You bit your lip, smiling with awaiting eyes. He takes a deep breath, licking his lips as he takes in the mix of your tastes, his lip lifting into a smile, making you giggle. His fingers digging into your plush hips, bringing you closer.  His hand travels up to the base of your neck, bringing your lips down to his. Your soft sighs against his lips has his libido rising by the second. 
In one quick motion, you’re below him, letting out a squeal of delight that morphed into a titter. His grip on your hips tighten as he towers above your sprawled out form. He stands on his haunches, spreading your legs with his broad hands. A low whistle meeting your ears, “God, I need to be inside you,” your clit tingled at the prospect, “You want me inside you, sweetheart?” You pathetically nodded. His eyes tracing your fingertips as they traverse the curves of your plush body that lead to the sensitive little pearl at the apex of your thighs, your soft fingertips gingerly rubbing at your clit. 
“Please Jake, I need it so bad.” 
A deep groan resonated in his chest as he manhandled your knees to hook over his shoulders, pressing onto you.
"Jake." 
“Shh, baby, I'm gonna take care of you.” He murmured, fighting off the deep rooted urge to slide all in at once and fuck you till the headboard breaks. He gave you that same salacious smile you love. Running your fingernails down his torso, you nodded. His lips parting as he notches his tip at your entrance. He leans down, keeping his gorgeous evergreen gaze on you. A pitiful whimper leaves your lips as the bulbous head enters you, already stretching you. His hands quickly intertwine with your own, placing them by your head, nose nudging yours.
"Shh, it's ok, Lass, taking me so well, just breathe." You nodded, eyes glassy as you focused your gaze on him as he continued to enter you inch by inch. He can’t help but feel the warmth in his heart with each pinch of your brow and soft mewls that passed your lips as he split you open. 
You’re absolutely perfect. 
And you’re all his.
He smiled so softly and tenderly at you. "I love you so much, you have no idea how much I missed you," he whispered. 
Your eyes starting to tear up, voice thick, "I love you too, Jake." 
He leaned down, passionately, desperately kissing you like you’re the only keeper of his sanity. "I'm not going anywhere," you whimpered out against his lips, his forehead resting against your own as he gently rolled his hips into your own, fully sheathing himself into the welcoming embrace of your cunt. His rhythm has moans pouring from your lips and his bed frame rhythmically banging into the wall. Your breathing intermingles, gazes staring into one another. The focus solely on the feeling of Jake on you, holding your hands so tenderly yet firmly, and the way he throbs gently inside you with each thrust. He savors the velvet feeling of your walls around him, and the twitch of your knees against his shoulders. 
Each moan and whimper spurring him on with each soft thrust, rubbing that sweet spot inside you that had you clutching onto his shoulders for dear life. 
"Jake," 
He nipped at your neck, putting his entire lower body weight into his thrusts, making you gasp and cry out as he ransacked that special spot that made you see stars. Your lips muffled his groans as he continued to thrust into your perfect cunt that he would swear under oath was made for him. 
"God, you feel so fucking good, Jake!" His growls and groans are a reply enough to your broken moans and gasps of breath. 
You both are consumed only in each other, not the headboard banging into the wall or the possibility of Javy hearing your escapades- just the perfect mix of you and him. He lifted your hips letting him thrust with all his strength into your welcoming cunt, your walls begging him to never leave. 
"Such a good fucking girl, wanna spend every mornin’ like this… God, such a perfect, tight, little pussy," you gasped and cried out as he punctuated each graveled word with a deep, perfect thrust. "You love it when I fuck you like this, don't you?" You nodded feverishly, tears welling in your eyes. 
"You just feel so good, please don't stop," you choked out, the dull edges of your nails digging into his hands that encased yours. He grinned at you, placing a soft kiss to your plush lips, feeling pride swell in his chest.  “Love seeing you get all teary eyed taking my dick,” he cooed. You moaned as he set a brutal rhythm, making you see entire galaxies behind your clenched shut eyes. Shuddered gasps left your throat as he leaned down to mouth at your tits, sucking at your peaks, and releasing them with gentle pops. 
"Baby, look at me," he purred, his voice strained from his excursions. Your dazed gaze met his, your vision hazy from your impending orgasm. But even then, you could still make out the thin halo of green that surrounded a sea of black. 
“So fucking pretty, baby.” The sight of his lust dilated eyes and the constant assault on the soft spot inside you has your sanity unraveling, your high rushing over you with broken gasps, chest heaving up into his. 
“Jesus Christ, so fuckin’ tight.” He groaned with that sinful graveled tone into your ear as you mewled and shook as your high consumed you. 
His eyes clenched shut as your walls choked his cock, making his release hit him like a bullet, groaning into your neck as his release painted your soft velvet walls. 
You relished in the feeling of his weight on your body, softly running your fingers through his hair as his cock gently twitched in your molten cunt. Heaving breaths and the soft smell of sex filled the room as the AC hummed lowly. He gently lifted his face to meet yours, a sweet, dazed smile painting his lips, sweat beading at his hairline. You bit your lip, “good morning.” His relaxed smile morphed into a grin, “mornin', my beautiful girl.” Your grin matched his as you gently pulled him into a sweet kiss, letting your nails gingerly scratch at the base of his neck. He softly whined in protest as you pulled your lips away for air. “I have to breathe, Jacob,” you teased, “I’m not going anywhere.” 
Your warm gaze met his own, a soft smile on your lips that made your dimples pop. His eyes glazed over, tracing over each wisp of color in your sapphire eyes and the rouge dusting your cheeks. How did I get so lucky? 
“What’re you looking at me like that for?” You whispered softly.
His lip quirked, “jus’ thinking about you,”
Your blush deepened, biting your lip to hide your grin, “only good things, I hope.”
“Only good things.” He repeated with a gentle smile. 
You lightly pulled his lips back to yours, lips languidly melding with his. Savoring the taste of you on his lips that he never wanted to forget. 
Jake’s breathing evened out as you traced the edge of your nail on his pec, gently scratching at the sparse chest hair. Your head nestled into the crook of his neck, eyes tracing over the freckles sparsely peppering his bare skin, following the tip of your finger. His fingers mindlessly toy with your wavy locks, watching the soft strands curl around his finger and the glow of that lovely copper hue in the morning light. He felt like he needed to pinch himself, just to make sure this was all real. He refrained; pinching himself may cause all of this to go away. You listened to his steady breathing, softly letting your eyes flutter shut. 
“We should get cleaned up and something to eat,” you whispered against his chest. He hummed, still coming down from his high. You giggled, sitting up before rising off of the bed. Softly stretching in the morning light, bare to the world, walking towards his bathroom on shaky legs that had his chest filling with pride. Turning towards him, you leaned against the doorframe, “you coming, cowboy?” His mouth felt dry, eyes glued to your full body that was fully exposed for him to admire in the soft, golden morning light. Your eyes caught on. A playful smile tugged at your lips as you watched his eyes travel from your eyes down to the rest of your body. The gaze of others had always planted a pit of insecurity in your stomach that caused your heart to quiver. But being with Jake, he eased your insecurities. Softly and slowly, he eased you to expose yourself to him. But even in these moments there were small pockets of self-consciousness that broke through the protective layer that Jake helped to cultivate. 
Soon enough he'll realize that your body type isn't what he wants.
This is all a ruse and he didn't mean it when he said he loved you. 
He'll get sick of your body at some point. 
You felt your lips threaten to tug into a frown, his gaze feeling more scrutinizing as he held his gaze on your body. In all the time you had known him, Jake had never been a quiet man. Maybe he didn't like how your thighs were so thick. 
Or the soft flesh of your tummy. 
Or how your breasts weren't as perky as with the other girls he’d been with. 
He nodded, a beat of silence passing, “that sounds perfect.” There was no air of cockiness in his tone, only the heavy sincerity of his whispered words. He rose out of bed, sauntering towards you. You tried to keep your gaze on him instead of the way his cock was starting to harden again and animatedly bob with each stride. He took your hand in his, anxiety easing as he brought your hand to his lips, eyes full of love before silently leading you with him into the bathroom. 
“Jake, stop, that tickles,” you protested teasingly as you manned the stove top, flipping the eggs and bacon in the skillet as the toast finished with a ding. His chin lifted from its place at your neck with a groan, halting the teasing rubs of his freshly shaven cheek against the column of your neck. His hands playfully squeezed your hips as he stepped away to collect the toast. 
“So, sweets, do you have any plans for the rest of the day?” He placed the plate with the warm toast on the counter across from you, letting the edge press into his bare lower back as he buttered the pieces of toast. Shutting the burner off with a click, you grabbed both of the filled plates before joining him at the countertop. You could feel his eyes settled on where his shirt barely covered the curve of your panty-clad ass. The attention made your cheeks heat. Granted, you should have been used to it by now, but it was so hard to adjust when every time he looked at you, your entire body heated up like a fireplace. And his bare chest on display certainly didn’t help. Or the fact you could trace out the bulging veins in his forearms. 
“Um,” you cleared your throat, “I have a shift at Penny’s later tonight, but besides that I’m free.” He turned to lean on his elbow against the counter to face you while he held his plate, eagerly digging into his breakfast. You leaned forward against the counter, foraging at the strawberries Jake had cut up earlier. He smiled around his piece of toast, “glad to hear it, I was hoping for a few more hours with you.” He teased, pinching under the curve of your ass as your blush bloomed on your cheeks. You swatted at him, his chuckles meeting your ears. He placed his plate down, moving to embrace his arms around you, the small droplets of water from the shower falling onto your neck and shirt. You yelped as his broad hands grasped the underside of your thighs, placing you onto the edge of the countertop, out of the way of your plates of food. Your chuckles died down as your gaze met Jake’s playful one. His thumbs rubbed small circles on your hips as he stepped between your spread thighs. The back of his finger gently caressed your cheek. Your teeth digging into your bottom lip, hands gently rubbing at where his broad shoulders met his neck, fingers occasionally toying with the chain of his dog tags. Your eyes traced over the fine features of his face, fingers cradling the back of his head, leaning down to kiss his passion-swollen lips. 
Groaning against your lips, he pulled away. 
“I meant what I said last night and this morning…about being in love with you. I don't want you to feel that it was just in the heat of the moment for me.” He softly whispered, as if it were a secret from the rest of the world. Your eyebrows rose a little, your heart warming. “I know Jake. It wasn't a heat of the moment deal for me either. I love you too. Just promise me something.” 
“Anything.” He reassured.
“I know relationships are a complicated thing for you,” you diverted your gaze to your fingers playing with the pebbled chain of his dog tags, “but if you get scared or anxious, please don't pull away and make a rash decision. Be open with me. Talk to me.”
His warm eyes melted more if that was possible. 
He nodded, murmuring “I will, promise.” His nose touches yours before he places a sweet kiss to your lips. He hummed at the taste of strawberries on your lips.
“Glad to see you guys made up.” 
Javy’s voice made you jolt against Jake, trying to discreetly reach to slide Jake's shirt under your ass, much to Javy's amusement and Jake's disgruntlement. 
Javy made his way to the coffee maker with an amused expression on his face as he poured himself a cup of coffee. You could feel Jake's hands tighten on your waist. 
“Coyote, I thought you were at Delilah’s.” Javy smirked around the rim of his mug at Jake's tone. He leaned against the opposite counter, an amused expression on his face as he took in his much more kept together appearance; shaved cheeks, diminished bags under his eyes. 
“Good morning to you, too. I got back late last night after dropping her off for her red eye for her business trip.” Javy grinned, diverting his gaze to you. “Hey, Caledonia.” 
“Hey, C-Coyote” you stammered, cheeks flushed.
“You know, we were kind of having a moment. Alone.” Jake bit back, attitude rolling off of his tongue, as he tried hiding your body with his. That only made Javy smile all the more. 
“Sorry, I must have missed the part where this was your kitchen.” He placed his mug in the sink. “But really, I'm happy for you both. He was much more tolerable when you both were messing around.” Jake continued to glare at him, his grip on you getting more and more possessive the more your cheeks heated. “Oh, and if you guys decide to utilize the counter, use the Lysol afterwards.” Javy winked at Jake, giving him a pat on his bare shoulder and stealing a strawberry as he passed, heading towards the front door, closing it with a click. As soon as the door closed, you giggled into Jake's chest, a mix of amusement and mortification filling your chest. 
“God, I'm gonna kill him.” 
Your laughter brought his gaze down to you. 
“He's just being supportive.”
“Yeah, well, I wish he wouldn't look at you while he's being so supportive.” Jake huffed.
“Jake…”
“What? I don’t like him looking at what’s mine, especially when you’re looking like a wet dream out of a Playboy Magazine.”
Your smile grew with the shivers that ran along your spine at his tone. 
“I wouldn’t say that-” Your eyes diverted from him to focus on the tiled floor. Your hair was still messy from your roll in the sheets and shower, and your eyes still felt sticky with sleep. 
He gently lifted your chin to meet his gaze. 
“I would. Every time.”
You swallowed at his tone that dripped with loving sincerity. He grinned, placing a gentle kiss to your forehead before quickly reaching your lips with a deep hum. 
If you had a mirror, you’d assume your face was the color of fully-bloomed roses.
His tongue traced the seam of your lips, lewdly persuading entrance to tangle with your own. You moaned against his mouth as he gently laid you back against the cold countertop, his mouth trailing down your neck, gently teasing your pert nipples through the cotton of his Navy shirt with his expert tongue. 
“Jake-”
He hummed, “What is it, pretty girl? Tell me what you want.”
Your breath hitched as his fingers tugged down your panties to the cold tile floor with a soft thump. His hands pushed your shirt up over your head to expose your lush breasts to his warm touch, flinging the piece of cotton onto the couch.
“We don’t know when Javy’s getting back.” Your hands coming up to cover your bare chest.
His eyebrows furrowed in amusement, a gentle smirk on his lips.
“Javy always does his errands on Saturday mornings. He’ll be gone for a good few hours.” 
You swallowed, biting at the inside of your cheek. 
“Plus, he was right about one thing.” 
Your eyebrows scrunched together, his nose trailing along your neck as his lips reached the shell of your ear. His hands gently move to replace yours on your breasts. 
“The counter would be smart to utilize while he’s gone.” He nipped at your earlobe, relishing in the soft moan and shudder than accentuated his improper words and actions. His eyes rose to meet yours as his broad hands pushed down on the counter to show its sturdiness with a smirk. 
“We’ve barely touched our breakfast, and-” you words paused on your lips as his hands squeezed at your hips and thighs, nudging them further apart, “don’t you get tired of being this horny?”
Deep chested grumbles of laughter bubbled up as he brought his lips to yours. 
“You just have that effect on me, sweetheart, and I have a lot of time to make up for.” He teased with a grin, gently running the pad of his forefinger through your already soaked folds. 
“And it feels like to me, you don’t seem to mind.” He husked. 
Your chest heaved with a shortness of breath you didn’t know you had. You pulled his lips to yours, moaning against his now strawberry sweet lips. A sharp whine leaving your own as he eased two of his thick fingers into your molten, awaiting cunt. 
“Easy there, Lass, I’ll take care of you.” His saccharine grin made you realize you would be on this counter for as long as time would allow. 
“So I noticed your car was parked here this morning.”
Penny’s amused tone made you almost drop the clean glass in your hand.
“Yeah,” you awkwardly chuckled, “I stayed the night with a friend.” You gave her a tight lipped smile. Penny’s eyebrows furrowed, but she didn’t press. Her typical kind smile passed her lips, “Well I’m glad to see you got over Hangman. You’re too good for him, and he’s still not welcome here.” You swallowed as her eyes grew ever sharper with each word. 
“Yeah,” you fiddled with the towel and the glass in your hand, “well, actually, I wanted to talk to you about something.” You bit your lip as her face grew concerned. Your eyes darted around the empty bar, hoping to find something to take the edge off of the conversation. Taking a deep breath, you let your eyes focus back on her.
“Hang-,” you cleared your throat, “Jake came by here last night.” Penny’s posture straightened as her eyebrows furrowed. 
Your eyes grew wide in panic, “But it’s ok! He came by to apologize to me.” The sharpness in Penny’s gaze dulled as your tone and words registered. “And, I spent the night with him.” You breathed out. “He told me he loves me.”
Penny’s gaze was trying to fight for any semblance of sharpness. She’d known Hangman for years before you came along. Seen all the hookups that transpired in her bar because of his charm, and the inevitable wreckage afterwards. And not once did he have the decency to apologize for breaking a poor girl’s heart. Much less tell them he loved them and make up with them. 
“Even after we… did things.”
You frankly didn’t know what compelled you to share that detail. Maybe it was because Penny had become a maternal figure to you during your time at grad school and you could be vulnerable with her about this. She would probably know more than most, given her history with Maverick. You bit your lip, hoping and praying that Penny wouldn’t tear Jake to shreds if he stepped foot into the Hard Deck. Penny had had her fair share of relationships and only one of them resulted in her being told she was loved after sex- Maverick. Penny’s eyes reverted to the same trademark warmth she always looked at you with, a small smile on her face. “I’m glad you and Hangman made up, but if he hurts you… promise me you’ll tell me. Ok?”
You nodded, ”Does this mean Jake is ok to come back to the Hard Deck?”
She breathed through her teeth, before chuckling, “I think you’ll need to clear the air with Phoenix first. My jurisdiction only goes so far. If she sees him here, she’ll do a lot worse than punch him in the nose.”
Your eyebrows furrowed.
“Did Nat punch him in the nose?”
“Well, you’re looking better.”
You quickly turned at the sound of Phoenix’s encouraging tone. Her eyes tracing over your lush, wavy hair and your scintillating blood moon manicured nails that made your eyes pop. 
“And it looks like it in more ways than one too.” She smirked, eyes tracing over the poorly concealed hickey.
Your blush spread like waves over a shoreline, bringing your hand up to hide the mark with a nervous smile.
“Yeah, I’m feeling better since last night.”
You swallowed as your eyes darted to see Bob settle against Phoenix at the bar top. Giving Bob a smile, you placed a cup of peanuts from under the bartop in front of him. 
Phoenix smiled at the gesture. 
“So did you end up going out with Halo’s friend from the gym?” Bob asked before scooping some peanuts into his mouth.
You always admired how perceptive Bob was. He could piece together a conversation like the snap of his finger. 
“N-no, I didn’t.” You bit at your lip. 
I really hope they don’t kill me for this, you thought. 
“Well,” Phoenix urged on, “was it somebody who came in last night?”
You crossed your arms over your chest, nervously puffing out laughter.
“You could say that.”
Her eyes lit up, “Ok, so who’s the lucky guy… or girl?” she teased.
Rolling your eyes, you shook your head. 
Phoenix had been encouraging you to explore your sexuality since the whole situation with Hangman went down the drain. Well, before Jake pulled it out of said drain less than 24 hours ago. 
You bit your lip, “Um.” You swallowed.
Phoenix’s eyebrows furrowed and Bob watched on with piqued interest.
“Jake came by last night.” 
You internally winced as both of their smiles fully faded.
“Cali…” Phoenix’s voice was laced with frustration and pity, the latter burning the most. 
“I know it sounds bad, but-”
“How could you take him back?” Phoenix’s voice rattled your heart. Bob stood by silently. But his face spoke the words just said. 
You took a breath, swallowing “he came by to apologize.”
Her gaze softened. But only slightly so. 
You still slept with him, again, She thought. 
But then again, Hangman didn’t apologize. Ever. 
“And, he told me he’s in love with me.”  
And he most definitely didn’t tell hookups he loved them. Much less in love with them. In fact, in time Phoenix knew him, Jake never had anything serious with anyone. Not even a date.
Phoenix and Bob exchanged looks.
“And that he can’t let me go again.” You finished, watching them apprehensively as you toyed with your nails. 
“I just don’t want you to punch him again.” You softly state.
Phoenix took a breath, before scoffing.
“It doesn’t excuse him from what he did-”
“I know that-”
“But, nothing. You’re too good for him, and how can you trust he won’t hurt you again?”
You swallowed, trying to stave off tears.
Bob winced at her words. Phoenix was right to be concerned. Angry, even.
But he saw how Jake had changed since spending time with you, and how he was when you ended your arrangement. That had to mean something more than what words alone could reveal. There was even a running joke regarding how much time Hangman spent with Caledonia, even just helping her at the Hard Deck. 
“Nat,” Bob interrupted. 
She turned to him, eyes still bright with fire. “You’ve seen how he’s been lately and how he was before.” Her jaw tensed. Of course Bob had a point. He always had a point. 
A thick silence settled over your corner of the bar top as regulars started to trickle in.
“I can’t explain how I know, but I just know that he means it.” You turn your gaze from Bob to Natasha, making your stance clear.
She sighed, “look, I just want you to be safe and happy, and if you truly believe he can be that for you… then he’s in serious trouble if he hurts you again.”
You embrace Nat in a hug that has her a bit startled. Sniffling, “I will. Thank you.”
You pull away, wiping away the last remnant of your tears with your apron. 
“Promise me you’ll take it easy on him on base? Well, easier?” Your borderline plea made  Natasha purse her lips before breathing out of her nose.
“Yeah, I’ll do my best. But if he starts something, I have my right to respond with a full arsenal.” 
Your lip tipped up into a grin. 
“I hope you know that you’re the only person I would ever do this for. You know that right?” 
You nodded, cheeks aching from your grin.  A regular had called you over, excusing yourself from your friends. Phoenix and Bob watched on as you served drinks. 
“Hangman better watch out if something happens to her. He doesn’t know what he’s got in a girl like her.” She huffed, snagging a peanut from his cup.
“I think he does now.” Bob’s quiet comment stops her mid chew.
His gaze still on you across the bar before turning to her. 
She huffed again. She had a scintilla of belief that Bob was right. 
Your shift passed you like a blur, lost in the fluid routine of serving drinks and orders. The comfort of familiarity flooding your fingertips and eased your senses. The laughter of your friends around the pool tables and Penny’s words of encouragement as things got busier as the night went on made you feel at home again.
“Here’s a whiskey neat for you.” You smiled, turning back to where the beer taps were, grabbing more glasses from underneath the polished wood. 
“Excuse me, Darlin’.”
Your eyes darted up to a voice that had excitement thrumming through you, your grin barely contained. Evergreen eyes greeted you, “a whiskey neat on my tab please.” His bright grin soon matched yours.
“What are you doing here?” you asked warmly as you made his drink.
“Penny texted me saying I could come back to the Hard Deck.” His lip quirking, “On the condition that I help you close up after your shifts for the foreseeable future.” He chuckled, letting his lips tilt into a smile, “and I wanted to see you.” 
He leaned in closer to you, his eyes tracing your full lips up to your eyes that held so much warmth. “She did mention that I needed to worry about Phoenix, though.”
You snorted. “I think you’ll be ok, just stay here at the bar top with me. I’ll protect you.” Your playful wink made his chest rumble with laughter. 
Jake stayed at his spot at the bartop, even when you slipped away to serve drinks. The more you were gone, the more exposed he felt, and the more he felt his confident facade was weakening. He could still feel a bounty on his head, hence the lack of appeal the pool tables held for him tonight. He took sips of his drink, keeping his gaze on you.
“You have a lot of nerve showing your face here.” He almost flinched at the familiar baritone. He turned, met with a questionable choice of Hawaiian shirt and a mustache he could barely stand. 
“But given how miserable you were, it’s not entirely a surprise you came crawling back to her. And by the looks of it, she took you back.” He stated more flatly. 
“Hey, Rooster, can I grab you something?” you asked sweetly, eyes darting from Jake’s to the aviator in front of you.
“Yeah, Rooster, what do you want? It’s on me.” Bradshaw’s eyebrows shot up as Jake laid down his card on the glossy surface. Bradshaw eyed him suspiciously before diverting his gaze to you. “One Blue Moon, please, thanks.”
You smiled at Jake, taking his card. 
As you turned away to grab his glass, Bradshaw was back to facing the last man he thought he’d see tonight.
Jake took a sip of his drink, rocking the glass in his hand. “For what it’s worth, I’m trying to make it right.” Bradshaw couldn’t find a sliver of anything to indicate Jake had ill intent, making his eyebrows furrow for a split second. 
“Here’s your beer, enjoy.” You smiled at Bradley.
“Here’s your card, baby.” You leaned in giving Jake a kiss, sliding the card over the bartop to him. Bradshaw had only seen Hangman blush when he was relentlessly teased in the break room and locker room. It was…different, to see Jake blush when the reason for it was right in front of him. As soon as you were there, you were whisked away to serve another customer. Bradshaw’s gaze followed you before turning to Jake, seeing the smile on his face. Not a cocky, confident smile, but a genuine one that was getting less and less rare with you around.
“I don’t know what she sees in you, but you better not fuck up again.” Bradshaw’s tone didn’t hold the same bite it had before. His hand gave an attempt of a friendly pat on the shoulder before turning to leave. Some semblance of an olive branch being passed to him.
“I won’t.” Jake said just before Bradshaw left ear shot, saying it more to himself than anyone. 
   As your shift progressed members of the team came and passed, relations settling at the sight of you and Jake at the bar top when you weren’t being pulled away to serve customers. Soon the end of your shift had arrived and your friends waved goodbye and some even acknowledged Jake as they left. Phoenix’s gaze towards him as she waved goodbye wasn’t as sharp as it had been the past few weeks. The last chair was stacked above the tables and soon you were dragging Jake out of the Hard Deck with you after bidding Penny a goodnight. Penny’s watchful yet warm gaze settled on you both as Jake held the door for you to go outside, and followed you till your cars left the parking lot, heading in the same direction. 
"Well, who is this little miss?" Jake crouched down in the hallway and let your new addition to the Benjamin's home softly sniff at his hand and rub her head against his leg.  
"Oh, um, that's Chanel. I got her a few weeks ago,” you replied.  
"Chanel," Jake tried out, "that's a very pretty name for a very pretty girl," he cooed as she let him scratch under her chin and purred. You smiled at the sight, "she's been a little shy around…well, everyone. It's nice that she's warming up to others." A snort left you as Jake tried to stand up, but was met with charged meows of protest. 
"I'm sorry, Chanel, I thought I gave you enough attention…but you're just like your mama, can't get enough." He winked at you, making you smile and your cheeks warm. 
 "Where'd you find this little attention magnet?"
"There's an animal shelter near the lab that was having a meet and greet. Ella took me when… when you ended things.” You tried to push down the somber thoughts that threatened to bubble up after all the positive progress that was made tonight. Jake's gaze softened at your words. “She was huddled in the back of the room, so I took her home." You could feel your eyes get teary at the resurface of the freshly scabbed wounds. Jake’s eyebrows furrowed in concern, his lips pointed in a slight frown. “I’m so sorry, Caledonia.” Your eyes met his heavy, sincere ones as he gently took your hand in his soft grasp. 
“I should never have done what I did to you.” 
You bit the inside of your lip, taking a step closer to him, gently cupping his freshly shaved cheeks. Letting your thumbs rub against his smooth skin.
“I know you’re sorry, and,” you took a breath, “I forgive you.” 
Jake feels his heart beat halt in his chest. He couldn’t describe in words how much those three words meant to him. “But you should know, I don’t give out second chances easily, and…for what it’s worth, Phoenix clocking you is quite the punishment.”
You gently ran your fingers along the edge of his nose.
He let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding, feeling his lip quirk. 
“You heard about that, huh?”
He cringed a bit as your lip tilted into a smile. 
“Surprisingly, Penny was less discreet about it than your colleagues.” You breathed out a chuckle. He watched as Chanel trotted to your crouched down form, circling in front of you, sliding your open palm along her arched back, her tail that rivaled that of a Swiffer duster oscillating above her. Jake knew he would do whatever it took to stay with you. He’d already been given a chance he didn’t deserve and he sure as hell wasn’t going to waste it. His warm jade gaze watched on as you gingerly picked her up as little trills and chirps left her, supporting her, and gingerly stroking her chin as she closed her eyes. "Do you wanna come upstairs? Watch something?" His gaze snapped to your own, nodding. 
"Sure," he murmured.
“You, know, I haven’t taken you out on a proper date, yet.” Jake whispered, his warm gaze shifting from Chanel’s purring form between you both on the bed to your bright ocean blue one already on his. 
“Glad to hear that’s where your mind is at after watching the X-Files with me, lover boy.”
His grin widened at your teasing tone. He scooted closer on his side, leaning down to kiss your ever-so sweet lips. 
“I’m serious. I want to do this right with you.”
Your heart pulsed all the faster, your lower lip trapped between your teeth, warping your smile. 
He took a breath. “Ms. Hughes, would you do me the honor of going out with me this Saturday night?”
Your blush bloomed on your cheeks like a field of poppies. He watched tentatively as you tilted your head to the side, gaze diverting as if thinking hard about the question. 
You sucked in air through your teeth, “Hm, I don’t think I can.” Jake’s face dropped.  “There’s this guy I really like that asked me out, and well, he’s sweet and very well endowed. And I don’t think I can say no to him. I’m sure you can understand.” You playfully examined your scarlet red manicured nails, fighting to keep your resolve neutral. His eyebrows furrowed, before a teasing smile lit up his features. 
“Hm, well endowed, huh?” His eyes matched your gleam.
You hummed in agreement, “Yeah, he’s always calling me Lass and, well, he recently came to his senses about me, and,” you pursed your lips, tucking some hair behind your ear, “I don’t think I can say no to him.”
Laughter bubbled up his throat, shaking his head as he gently brought your lips to his, taking in your sweet hums and sighs. He slid his tongue into your mouth, scooting closer into your personal space, almost forgetting that Chanel was settled comfortably between you both. Her meows and yowls of discontentment separating both of you with a jolt. His eyes darted from her lounging form back to your eyes, chuckles passing both of your lips.
“Well, it sounds like I have some competition.” He murmured, eyes bright with that teasing glint you loved.
You hummed in agreement, gently running your fingers over Chanel’s delicate fur, your playful eyes meeting his. 
“Is he also hoping to pick you up at 8 on Saturday?”
Your smirk widened.
“Somewhere in that ballpark.” You teased.
“Somewhere in that ballpark?” Jake scoffed, “doesn’t really sound like you're too wild about this ‘well endowed’ guy if you can’t even remember when he’s supposed to pick you up.” 
Your smile broke out into a grin at his playful tone, his chuckles soon following yours.  
You placed a sweet kiss to his lips, your noses brushing.
“I’d love to go out with you on Saturday night.”
Jake could have sworn his cheeks hadn’t hurt this much from a grin in his entire life. Chanel jumped down from the bed, opening up more space for you to lay closer to Jake. His grin widening as you promptly filled the space. 
“Perfect, I’ll pick you up at 8.” He whispered, leaning his lips down closer to yours. 
You pulled away, slightly out of breath.
“One question, though-”
“Anything.”
You bit the inside of your cheek, “can we still do our fun, little lessons together?”
His eyebrows shot up. 
 Can we still do our fun, little lessons together?
He smirked, that charming smile bubbling below the surface.
Fun, little lessons, huh?
“Yeah, Lass, we can still do our fun, little lessons. We go as long or as short as you want, remember?”
Your eyes diverted away before your grin took over, bringing your eyes back to his.
“I mean, we’ve definitely covered a lot of bases.” You murmured, toying with your nails as you let your head settle into where his neck meets his shoulder. 
“Yeah, we definitely have,” he chuckled, his hands rubbing soothingly along your back and waist as he mentally tallied off the list.
“There’s still some more things I want to try with you, though…that we didn’t get to add to the list.” He murmured against your forehead as he gave you a soft kiss. 
You hummed, the body heat encasing you making you realize just how tired you really were, “Like what?” 
He leaned his head back against your bed frame, your body adjusting to lean against him. His hand taking hold of one of your own, gently running his thumb along the back of your hand. His eyes drawing to the deep red hue of your nails that suited you well. 
“Well, Lass, I was thinking you might like being tied up a little. We still have those fuzzy blue handcuffs to try out,” he noticed the slight clench of your thighs at the statement, making him grin. He didn’t have to see your face to know it was beginning to bloom like the Indian paintbrush flowers that grew in his family’s garden.
“Maybe you’d like it if we brought some whipped cream and chocolate into the mix, maybe some ice cubes-”
Your core stirred at the idea of licking delectable treats off of his body. And him doing the same to you. 
“Ice cubes?”
“Yeah, Lass,” he chuckled, through his drawl, “Ice cubes, it feels mighty fine from what I’ve seen and heard, especially on your pretty clit and tits.” 
You sighed, feeling your horniness start to brew.
“And I was thinking maybe we could try some role playing, we never did try out that mini skirt we bought, and I have a nice suit in my closet, and, forgive me if I’m overstepping, but you strike me as someone who had the hots for one of your professors in college.” He smirked as you blushed, fully taking in the proposed scenario. You couldn’t deny his hunch. 
“And I was thinking anal might be something you’d like to try.” Your head shot up, eyes widening as you met his warm gaze, like melted jade simmering in a cauldron, his smirk still drawing your attention. You’d never even considered anal as something you would want to try, but you couldn’t deny the quick flash of excitement in your clit at the idea. 
“But we don’t have to do anything you’re not comfortable doing.” He quickly reassured. He still had the sapphire blue heart cut crystal butt plug from Myrtle’s shop, and he could always return it. But he swore he could see a glint of excitement in your eyes regarding the topic. 
“What else do you want to try?” Your breathless tone made him smile and heart buzz with excitement. 
“Well, I was thinking, if you’re up for it, we could use some more of the sex toys we bought, you could also take the lead with some of them if you’d like, like the cockring we bought,” he cleared his throat, a blush starting to work its way up his neck. 
Your eyebrows furrowed before a gentle smile took over. His demeanour when talking about taking control and relinquishing it always differed in a peculiar way.
“I’d like to try taking more control with you…Too bad the cockring is at your place.” You whispered coquettishly.
His eyebrows shot up as your body rose for you to maintain eye contact with him. His eyes followed your every move as you settled onto his lap, letting your sharp nails scratch down the material of the front of his shirt. He let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding, his pupils blown wide with lust. 
“We do have to be careful. Penny and Amelia are probably asleep.” You whispered out as he huffed. 
Right. He forgot you didn’t have your own place. 
“We’ll just have to be quiet then, handsome.” You smirked, bringing your lips down to his. 
He moaned against your lips, completely trapped under your body and your sweet, delicious lips consuming him. 
Jake gently closed your bedroom door with a soft click after you gave him many kisses goodnight and made him promise to visit you on your shift tomorrow. He quietly crept down the stairs. He didn’t need Penny and Amelia to be upset with him, again, for waking them up. His footsteps fell soft against the hardwood flooring as he stepped into his shoes.
“This seems a bit more comfortable than going out the window.”
Jake almost jumped out of his skin, quickly turning to see Amelia at the counter with a glass of water and her plaid pajamas. A displeased expression on her face, making him nervous. 
“Amelia, you’re up late-”
“So are you.” She quipped, eyes sharp. 
He sighed. Right. It made sense that Amelia would be mad at him. 
“Listen, Amelia,” he ran his hand over his face,” me and Caledonia-”
“Just don’t break her heart again.”
He swallowed, watching the teenage girl maintain eye contact that matched her sharp tone before gathering her things and disappearing up the stairs.
The door clicked shut behind him, his shoes crunching under the gravel of their driveway. He turned back to look at the window he crawled out of weeks prior. His lip quirked at the memory of your sweet smile and words that soothed him like balm on the cracks in his heart.
I forgive you.

domestic hugh when you’re sad
summary: you’re feeling sad about family issues (self insert). fluff. established relationship. context is you’ve had a tricky relationship with your dad and he’s passed plus a mix of guilt for not seeing people on his side of the family, when honestly they’re not your favourite people.
I’m 3 months in a grief journey so I’m not as sad but I will have a sad day every now and again and rn I am in one (but I know it’ll be better tomorrow)
wc: 628
You’re both sat upright on the bed. You’re covering your eyes as you cry and try to speak. You find it so much easier to speak covering your face and Hugh doesn’t laugh or try to pull your hands from your face, at least until you get in the swing of things. You still find it difficult to verbalise what you feel so he’s patient. You’re sat on your feet and he is sat normally, leaning forward looking at you with one hand on your knee, giving reassuring rubs on your thigh.
“I’ve been doing pretty well so having a bad day feels… really big” “it’s not though, I still have days when all I think about is my dad- *you’re taking deep breaths, just trying to regulate yourself* please will you look at me?” “I look ugly” you say through tears. Hugh chuckles and tells you shut up. “Will I ever be okay?” You say as you look in his eyes. He’s so attentive. Speaking that thought out loud is really scary and earnest. “No… but you’ll get to a point where the bad days will be years apart and then it doesn’t feel so hard to carry. We’ll do it together”
He grabs the back of your neck to press you a forehead kiss. He puts his arm in between the fold of your thigh and calf and pulls you on top of him. He is holding you almost like a baby. It’s ironic. A man more than double your age is cradling you like a child as you talk about your dead dad. Talk about daddy issues. This makes you smile slightly as it does feel nice. Protected. Warm. That is really you two against the world. You just lean into his neck, silently crying through this. He doesn’t offer much to say, only in response to what I directly say. But dealing with grief is hard and there’s not a lot to be said. Only that someone’s going do it with you. He is 3 years in grief whereas you’re only 3 months. He just rubs your legs reassuringly. He mutters an “it’s okay” every now and then. It means a lot to you him saying it’s okay. You feel a lot of shame when crying, which possibly is a childhood trauma. So him just allowing you to be sad and cry is enough. “It’s still fresh and you need to give yourself grace but you’re coping so well”
“I obviously appreciate everything you do, and my friends, but it’s both of you are my safe space and not my family.” “I’m sorry for how you grew up. But isn’t it beautiful you found that connection in other people” “I know” He also relates to this. He found his family and gone to therapy to resolve any family issues. “I think finding your people is the best, and I know the normal is your people should be your family.. but you’re not normal y/n” He is trying to make light, so I laugh, and I do. “I am” You feel too weak to a playful slap, so you just put one hand to his stomach. “All your friends have chosen to love you when they have no obligation to do so” “what about you?” “I think love is strong” You know he’s joking, but you play into it and lift your head. Your swollen red eyes. Your skin is starting to dry from the salt in your tears. You drop your mouth in shock- a fake shock. He laughs at your face. He uses his hand to wipe under your eyes. “Of course I love you, I love you when you’re happy and when you’re dripping with snot” You immediately sniff and smile “Thanks”

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
10:45am
Nate and I haven’t talked in 3 days. Chris is still a little mad, Nick and Matt mostly got over it. But me, I was furious. How was Chris going to take away my boyfriend after he excepted us?
I saw Nate around the house a little because even though Chris didn’t like us together he still was friends with Nate. It was really hard seeing him and not being able to call him mine, kiss him, hug him, even talk to him.
When he was over, I wasn’t allowed to be or I HAD to stay in my room. It wasn’t fair. Yesterday night I ran into Nate coming out of the bathroom and we decided we still have feelings for each other and we were going to have to sneak around.
Tonight was the night. I was gonna ask to go to a “friends” house to study for a test but in reality I was actually going to Nate’s. I got my bag becuase I was going to stay the night there and ran downstairs.
“MATT, NICK, CHRIS” I yelled running down the stairs almost tripping “WHAT” Chris yelled back pecking around the corner. “Can I stay the night at a friend’s house, I have to study for a hugh um… calculus test” I said
“What friend?” His eyebrow raised “a new girl I met at school we are study partners” “what’s her name” god why was he going into such deep questioning. “Elizabeth” I said as quickly as I could “I guess, do you need one of use to take your or?” “No it’s ok I’m walking” I said as a started walking to the door “oh ok” he said.
“What’s with the bag” Chris said pointing to it. “Staying the night, be back in the morning” I said before closing the door and walking as fast as I could to Nate’s. Little did I know that Chris was watching me through the window go down the road Nate lived on.
11pm
As I arrived at Nate’s house I was practically shivering. I go to knock on the door but it already opened before I put my hand up. I look up and I’m dragged in and embraced by a hugh hug from Nate. He peppers kisses all over my face, neck, and collarbone
“I’ve missed you so so so much my love” he says in between kisses “ I have too baby” I say grabbing his face and connecting his lips to mine. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. Just as I was about to pull alway someone knocked at the door.
“Shit” Nate said. “Chris is here I forgot he wanted to talk to me about something” my eyes widened at his “go in the bathroom and don’t come out till I come and get you” he said and I ran to the bathroom.
I heard the door open and Nate started talking. “Hey Chris” he said “hey Wsp” Chris said back. I heard them walking somewhere until their movements stopped. “So what did you need to talk to me about” Nate said “y/n” Chris said back
Why would they have to talk about me? Chris was still mad but I didn’t know he was still talking about it. Can’t he just get over it already, jeez.
“Look Nate, I’ve saw you two the other day when you came out of the bathroom.” Chris said “I know you all still love each other but I don’t know if I could trust you anymore, you did things I told you to wait for” he said
“I know and I’m so so very sorry Chris” Nate said in a soft, apologetic tone. “Your only sorry now because I said you can’t be with her” Chris said as I heard him stand up
“no Chris please I love her with all my heart, she makes me happy, I can’t live without her, please Chris don’t take her away from me” Nate said sounding like he was almost crying
“You should have thought about that before you didn’t listen to me” Chris said as I heard the door close and footsteps towards the bathroom door. Nate opened the bathroom door, I looked up and his eyes were puffy and red like he was crying.
“Nate? Baby?” I said pulling him down to me to hug him tightly. He just kept crying in my arms “I don’t wanna lose you y/n your all I have” Nate said falling to the floor.
I held him as tight as I could, cradling him for comfort. “I’m not going anywhere Nate trust me” I said rubbing my hand threw his hair and my other hand rubbing his back
He softly sniffles and looks up at me with submissive eyes. The position we were in had my boobs practically laying on his face. He slowly sat up pulling me over his lap. He started kissing my neck biting a bit at the sensitive spots.
“Nate” I said in a light moan. “You can’t leave hickeys, they’re gonna know” I said between breaths as he traveled his lips all over my neck and collarbone leaving a trail of hickeys.
“Idgaf, your mine. Everyone needs to know that” he says eyes full of lust as he looks up at me and plum pink lips. “Nate, oh my god” you said leaning your head back as he traveled down your neck to your chest.
Your phone buzzed and Nate stopped. “Wow I really am an artist.” He said referring to the hickeys that are very visible on your neck and collarbone. “Oh shut up you say” giggling and kissing him one more time on the lips.
You stand up off of Nate and look in the mirror of his bathroom. “Damn you fucked me up” you says laughing. His playfully smacked your ass as you bent over to pick up your phone to see who texted you.
Tumblr media
Reference to hickeys^
Chris💖 11:45pm
Hey can you come home? We need help with the house.
Y/n💖
Yeah I’m omw rn.
Chris💖
Ok love you see you when you get home❤️ be safe.
Y/n💖
Love you too butthead❤️
Nate sighed as he looked at the texts between you and Chris. “You just got here, you already have to leave?” He said with a pouty face. “Yes baby, I’ll come back tomorrow if I can” you said kissing his lips and exiting the bathroom.
“You still have my makeup here right?” You said “yeah it’s in my room I’ll go get it” he said running to his room. He came back with your makeup and you used it to cover the hickeys as best as you could.
He walked you to the door and gave you one more kiss, saying goodbye before you left his house. As you were walking home it started to rain a little bit washing off some of the makeup that was on the hickeys.
As you get to your house Matt’s car is gone. You walk in the door and Chris and Nick are sitting on the couch. “I thought yall needed help with something?” You said taking off your shoes and walking over to the couch.
“Nope, we just missed you and wanted you home” Nick said patting the couch next to him telling you to come sit next to him. You rolled your eyes and walked over to sit next to him.
“What the fuck is that?!?!?” Chris screamed pointing at my neck. “What?” I said and Nick lifted my head up to examine more of my neck. “I thought you said you wee going to your “friends” house.” Chris said standing up and walking closer to me
Chris was so mad his face started turning red. Nick also stood up right as Matt walked in. “Hey I’m back” Matt said walking around the corner. “ what are yall doing?” Matt asked walking over to us
Chris turned around face blood shot red. Nick also turned around moving out of the way so Matt could see me. “What?” Matt asked “LOOK AT HER FUCKING NECK” Chris screamed grabbing my chin firmly but not were it hurt and moving me head back so Matt could see.
“What the hell is that?” Matt questioned walking over to me. “You said you were going to a friends house to do homework not to get hickeys” Matt said “you can’t lie to us y/n. How are we gonna trust you” Nick said calmly but stern
“Give my your fucking phone now” Chris said reaching his hand out “what?” I said on the verge of tears “you heard me” Chris said. You gave him your phone and he started going through it.
“I thought we I told you to stop talking to Nate” Chris said throwing your phone on the couch. You couldn’t do anything but cry.
He stormed out of the house with Matt, and you just sat there crying. Nick sat down next to you to comfort you and you slowly drifted off to sleep crying in your brothers arms

I would like to apologize for the amount of time this took to write lmao. I couldn’t find a good stopping point and got overwhelmed with how I would finish this part, but at least there will be a part 4 in the foreseeable future. I’m working on some headcannons for Hattie so we can get to know her a bit more!
Thanks for reading!!

“Jack, I need your moral support. Please come here now,” Hatton’s hands threatened to begin sweating with the amount of anxiety that was coursing through her body. She had her MacBook out, the cursor hovering above the attachment that Trevor had sent her. She didn’t know why she was so nervous, but she knew that Jack would bring her back to earth.
“Sure, Hattie. Let me drop everything I’m doing and come at your beckon call. There’s literally nothing more in the entire world that I would want to do right now,” Sarcasm laced Jack’s words.
“Attitude Mister. Check it now,” Hatton quickly brought it to his attention.
“Sorry, I’m just trying to make sure I have everything packed to go back to Jersey. Luke is coming over tonight and I want to check his stuff and make sure he’s ready to go. When do I need to come over?” Jack was rustling through some papers as he held his phone to his ear with his shoulder.
“Now?” Hatton put her innocent voice on, knowing Jack could never say no to her.
“Hattie, you better be glad that you’re my best friend in the world,” Jack sighed as he laid the papers down.
“Thank you, Jacky boy,” Hatton smiled.
About 20 minutes passed when she heard the front door open and close, followed by footsteps that skipped up the stairs. Jack pushed open Hatton’s door and plopped down beside her on the bed.
“What’s up,” he asked, pulling out his phone to keep him occupied.
“Trevor sent me a PowerPoint on why he would be a good boyfriend. I don’t know why I’m nervous, but I am and I need your company here,” Hatton explained as she fiddled with the rings on her hand.
“You couldn’t just FaceTime me with this?” Jack groaned. This whole ordeal gave Jack flashbacks of their middle school days of romance.
“Jack, this is my future we’re talking about. What if he’s the one? What if I say yes to be his girlfriend? What if we get married and have kids and finally get a happily ever after?” Hatton was serious, but Jack was trying not to laugh.
“You realize, like, 2 months ago you didn’t like him…” Jack smirked, but was met with an unamused look from Hatton.
“3, 2, 1,” Hatton took a deep breath and clicked the attachment. She clicked the ‘present’ button and began to read the slides.
“Ok, I actually want to see these,” Jack admitted as he scooted closer to Hatton and read the slides.
“I will buy you flowers when you least expect it,” Hatton laughed, “Because that’s boyfriend material.”
“I have a dog?” Hatton was getting upset. She wanted him to take this seriously, but he’s giving her these lame reasons? Actually, the dog isn’t lame, but basing an entire relationship on one is.
“Uh oh, here’s the mushy ones,” Jack announced as he clicked to the next slide.
Hatton’s eyes scanned the slide.
“Every time I look at you it gets harder to breathe. You’re quite literally breathtaking and I’ll remind you that every single day,” Hatton could feel the heat in her cheeks rise.
“That’s gross,” Jack fake gagged, but stopped when Hatton gave him a look.
“Every time your name pops up on my phone (which isn’t much, but still…) my heart races a little,” Hatton began sporting a smile.
“I know that Jack Hughes will always be by your side (hi buddy) and that would be the closest I could get to be his brother. I’ve already asked Quinn to marry me and he told me to fuck off,” The slide caused a rupture of laughter that filled the entire room.
“He’s got a point,” Jack chuckled.
“Every time I picture my future, at least for the last 3 years until now, I always picture you in it. I’d like you to be more than a friend, and I’d love for you to give me a chance to prove that I can love you the way you deserve,” Hatton couldn’t shake the smile off of her face even if she wanted to.
“I would’ve bullied him in high school for this,” Jack shook his head and leaned back into the pillows, pulling his phone out to go through his Snapchat.
A link on the last slide caught Hatton’s attention, but she managed to read the text that sat above it.
“Here’s a plane ticket. If I convinced you to allow me to be your boyfriend, I’d love to see you and keep explaining how I can be your boyfriend while being thousands of miles away,” Jack squealed as he watched Hatton open the link to the plane tickets.
Sure enough, there was a ticket for first class from Detroit to Anaheim that was a week away.
Jack kept glancing between the ticket and Hatton while she just sat there staring at the computer screen.
“It’s not going to disappear if you look away you know,” Jack poked her in her side, resulting in an elbow to his stomach.
“I don’t know what to do. I mean, I guess I could skip school for the week. I could do my assignments online,” Hatton wasn’t talking to Jack in particular, but more so thinking out loud. Jack didn’t seem to pick up on that memo though.
“I’m no genius by any means, but it sounds like you do know what to do,” Jack raised his eyebrows at the girl sitting beside him. She couldn’t be annoyed with Jack because he was right. She wanted to jump on that flight. Hell, she’d probably jump on a flight sooner if possible, but she didn’t want to begin this relationship with being so spontaneous.
“When do you leave for Jersey?” Hatton turned to face Jack, quickly changing the subject, but eager to know the answer.
“Um, 6 in the morning,” He scratched the back of his neck, preparing for a lecture of why he should’ve told her he was leaving sooner.
“Jack Hughes, what the hell?!” She pushed at him, hoping to push him off the bed, but he barely budged.
“I probably would’ve told you sooner….actually I shouldn’t lie I probably wouldn’t have. In my defense, I did tell you I was busy before I got here,” he pointed out, but it didn’t fix Hatton’s frustration.
“Yeah, but you failed to mention that you’ll be leaving in less than 24 hours, dumbass,” she thumped him on his ears, eliciting a wince from him.
“I was going to come over tonight to tell you bye,” he grumbled, but Hatton just rolled her eyes.
“I’m FaceTiming you when I get there,” Hatton announced.
“I wouldn’t expect anything less,” he patted her leg as he began to stand up.
“Wanna come help me finish packing?” He knew she wouldn’t say no to his request.
“I guess I could,” Hatton played as if it was even a thought that she wouldn’t.
Because he was leaving in the morning, they took separate vehicles back to his house, so Hatton just planned on spending the night, wanting to spend as much time with her best friend as possible before hockey stole him back.
….
The next week passed painfully slow as Hatton had said goodbye to all of her boys. She had friends that were girls, but none that she trusted as much as Jack, Turcs, Cole, or Quinn. Maybe Trevor, too.
The boys just made life interesting. They weren’t full of drama, and everyday was some sort of adventure. She missed them a lot when they were gone, so to think that she would get to see Trevor, and possibly Alex, gave her something to look forward to.
She appreciated the gesture of the plane ticket from Trevor, but what the hell was he thinking with a 7:00 am flight? There was an hour drive from her to the airport, and she had to be there at least 2 hours prior so that she wouldn’t be an anxious mess. And that leads her to now, lugging her bag from her room to her car and making the drive to Detroit.
The drive wasn’t terrible, but Hatton had to stop for coffee so that she wouldn’t fall asleep behind the wheel. The traffic was steadily getting worse as she made her way to the airport parking, though. She went through TSA and checked her bag groggily, the sleep not too distant from the night before.
Once Hatton was awake enough to be aware of her surroundings, she knew she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep, even if the flight was four and a half hours. A shaken espresso from Starbucks would do the trick to give her enough energy to get through the travel day without catching an attitude with somebody.
After grabbing her coffee and finding a corner to read one of her books, the intercom finally came on, announcing that her flight was boarding first class. She grabbed her backpack and book and made her way to her seat next to the window.
The book she was reading seemed to speed up the flight, the one and only time she glanced at her watch and there was only an hour left until they landed. She spent the last hour watching outside of the window, taking a few pictures, and just thinking about what this next week could lead to.
That was great, until she thought about the fact that she hadn’t even talked to Trevor to let him know she was coming. She couldn’t text him, so she just had to wait until the plane landed, mentally kicking herself for forgetting such a major detail for the day.
The plane landed and everybody deboarded. Hatton quickly grabbed her suitcase from the baggage claim and tried to find a place outside to make a quick call to Trevor.
As she pressed his number to call him, she heard a phone ringing behind her. Confusion swept over her as she turned around to see the tan skinned, wind-swept hair that Trevor wore so well. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes and smile when he smirked at her.
“Let me guess…Jack?” She knew that Jack couldn’t keep his fat mouth shut even if he wanted to, but for once it turned out in her favor.
“Did you really think he wouldn’t tell me that you were coming? Which brings me to my next question, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” He grabbed the suitcase from her and walked her to where his car was parked, all the while taking in how she could possibly be as beautiful as she was right now after traveling all day.
“I’ll be honest, I completely forgot to. I don’t really have a good excuse,” She admitted. She placed her backpack into his backseat, but Trevor wouldn’t let her grab the door to get into the front because he had to.
“Thank you,” Hatton smiled up at him and waited for him to get in so they could drive away.
The drive wasn’t long, mostly filled with a few road rage moments for Trevor along with small talk to fill the silence. They pulled up to the house that Trevor called home. He wished that Hatton had come a year ago, that way she could’ve experienced life with him and Jamie, but he was sure his friend would make an appearance at some point while Hatton was here.
“Wow, you’re house is really pretty,” Hatton commented while unbuckling and grabbing her backpack from the backseat. Trevor grabbed her suitcase and they made their way inside.
Trevor smiled, a blush rising onto his cheeks, as he shrugged his shoulders.
“I have a couple of extra rooms that you can choose from. You could always just room with me, though,” he smirked and threw her a wink.
“And there’s the Trevor I know,” Hatton chuckled as Trevor began to show her around the house. A part of her wanted to just stay in the same room as Trevor, but she’d be here for a week, so they would have plenty of time to make rooming changes if need be.
Trevor let Hatton unpack by herself, giving her some time to decompress on her own from traveling all day. He had planned for the first day to be less action packed so that the two would be rested for his game day tomorrow.
“Okay, I think I’m unpacked,” Hatton breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on his couch, momentarily closing her eyes as she was realizing that it would just be him and her sleeping here for the entire week. It was never just the two of them, there was always somebody else with them, even if it was just Jack.
“So, I have some pretty cool things planned for the week, but I figured we take it easy today…that ok?” Trevor plopped down in a recliner beside the couch.
“Yeah, sounds good,” Hatton kicked her shoes off and tucked her feet beneath her, making herself more comfortable.
“Um, I know this conversation is just going to be awkward no matter when we have it, but seeing as you’re hear you saw my reasons why I think we could work out,” Trevor watched as Hatton nodded her head, urging him to continue with the conversation.
“Yeah, speaking of, where’s your dog?”
“He’s getting a bath. We can go pick him up in a little while. Back to what I was saying....I just feel like I need to say some things in person so we can just completely clear the air about how we feel about each other,” Trevor was just going to rip the bandaid off and get everything out of his system. He's had ample time to think about what to say to Hatton, but none of it sounded good enough now that she was sitting so close to him, just the two of them. He let his heart go on autopilot, deciding that may be the best way to go about this.
“You obviously know I like you. Like a lot. But, um," Trevor stuttered as he rubbed his arm, subconciously trying to ease the anxiety that seemed to peak when he tried to take about his feelings. That was something about Trevor that only a select few knew; Trevor loved attention, but he avoided showing his true feelings at all costs. He would rather just make everybody around him smile or laugh than let them in on how he feels.
"Hattie, you mean the world to me. You meant the world to me when I knew you couldn't stand me, and you mean the world to me now that you've traveled this far and you're sitting right here," The words were flowing from his mouth, reaching Hatton and wrapping around her heart like a ribbon on a gift.
Hatton could feel her cheeks go rosy, not caring if Trevor noticed or not. She listened to each word that left his lips as if they were a raft that could save her from drowning from confusion. Because that's what Hatton felt most of the time: confused. Why did he feel like this towards her? Could she really let herself be in a relationship with him? Let him see the most vulnerable parts of her that very few were lucky enough to know about?
"You told me I needed to figure out how to make a long distance relationship work, so that's what I've been doing. I've talked to some buddies that have been in a long distance relationship and they gave me some words of advice. Long distance can't, and won't, work if we both don't work on it. I can tell you when I'm free from practice and games so that we could FaceTime or text or something. I'm willing to pay for your travel when you come here, and I swear I will make time each month to come see you as well. Even if it's for short periods of time. I really want this with you. More than anything, more than the fucking Stanley Cup, Hatton," Trevor chuckled, but he was completely serious. If hockey didn't pay his bills, then he'd drop everything to be with her.
"You must want me lot," Hatton grinned, teasing him.
"You have no idea," Trevor sighed, returning her grin.
"Ok. You have to ask me to be your girlfriend, though," Hatton's upside down smile was plastered on her face as she watched Zegras process what she just said.
"Wha- so that's a yes?" He could hardly form words because of the excitement that was running rampant in his head. His heart was working overtime.
"Did you ask me?" Hatton raised her eyebrows inquisitively, waiting for him to ask her the question that would start their future.
"Hatton Carlisle, would you do the absolute honor of being my beautiful, loving, caring girlfriend," Trevor was being a bit dramatic, but he didn't care because it made Hatton giggle.
"I would love to, Trevor Zegras," Hatton smiled.
Trevor got up from the recliner he was in and walked the two steps it took to get to Hatton. He cupped her face in his hands, taking a few seconds to take in her features, and placed a passionate kiss on her lips. The kiss saying everything that Trevor might have left out when previously discussing his feelings for Hattie. Hatton's fingers immediately grasped for his hair, slightly pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. Trevor took this as an opportunity to place himself between her legs, supporting his weight by placing one hand on the arm of the couch while the other was still cupping her cheek, his thumb caressing her smooth, rosy pink cheek.
Before things went too far, Trevor broke the kiss.
"We've got all week to show each other how much we like each other. We've got about 30 minutes to go pick up Louis," He chuckled, tucking a piece of Hatton's hair behind her ear.
The two loaded up into Trevor's car to go pick up Louis.
All that Hatton could think about was that Trevor wasn't just the annoying third wheel of her's and Jack's friendship anymore. He wasn't the one that pushed her buttons constantly, or made her question her sanity. He was her boyfriend.
Her phone ringing interrupted the comfortable silence in the car. Of course it was Jack.
"Bitch, did you not tell me you would call me when you got to Anaheim? I can't exactly help you when your literally on the other side of the country from me," Jack was yelling from somewhere off screen, but there was no way Trevor and Hatton couldn't hear him. His voice echoed all throughout his apartment.
"Sorry, bud. We've got some exciting news though," Hatton smiled.
As soon as she said that, Jack's face popped up on the phone, "Is my boyfriend there?"
"You mean my boyfriend?" Hatton smiled, knowing that Jack would have something to say about her statement.
"No fucking way..." Jack wore a grin as big as the sky, giving the Cheshire Cat a run for his money, "Let me see our boyfriend!"
"Jacky! My man, what's going on?" Trevor glanced at the phone before returning his attention on the road.
"It's about time. I'm telling Cole and Alex," And with that he hung up.
The two laughed, Trevor interlocking their hands. He couldn't believe that she actually agreed to be his girlfriend. It felt surreal, 3 years of pining after her and it all paid off.
"I'm glad you're here, Hatton," Trevor smiled.
"I'm glad I'm here too, Z," She gave his hand a squeeze. This week just might be one of the best weeks of their lives so far.
----
That night Hatton decided to sleep in a bed by herself, not quite comfortable with being completely vulnerable with Trevor quite yet. She tossed and turned all night long, replaying the day in her head over and over again. The sudden feelings she had developed for Trevor scared her, quite honestly. If she was capable of falling that hard that quickly, how much more control over her could Trevor have?
Before she knew it, the sun was peeking through a tiny sliver of the blackout curtains in her room. Like usual, there was no way she would be able to go back to sleep now. Her natural timer prohibited it. It made her feel a little better though when she heard a door open and the pitter patter of paws, followed along with what had to be Trevor's footsteps. She could hear him disarm the alarm system and open the back door.
Hatton decided that it would probably be rude of her to stay in bed all morning, so she stretched, tossing the covers off of her in the process. She put on a bra and brushed her teeth, but didn't bother doing anything else this early in the morning. If Trevor, for some odd reason, expected her to look like a model, he could suck it.
She put on a pair of slippers and made her way to the living room, quickly spotting Trevor sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs that circled a fire pit on the back porch, playing on his phone as Louis inspected the perimeter of the yard.
Before Hatton could even open the door, Louis somehow spotted her and began barking. Trevor quickly apologized as he picked him up and opened the back door for her.
"He's not aggressive, but he'll let me know when someone's here," Trevor chuckled as he scratched the dog behind the ears.
"No worries! When you're as cute as him you can get away with anything," Hatton gave the dog a pat on the head as she made herself comfortable on the couch that sat across from the chair that Trevor had previously been sitting in.
"Do you happen to have a coffee maker?" Hatton desperately needed caffeine. Now that she thought about it, she might have a caffeine addiction.
"I do not, actually. Jamie took it in the divorce," Trevor managed to say with a straight face, but furrowed eyebrows from Hatton gave away her confusion.
"Divorce?"
"Yeah, he moved out and had the balls to move down the street. He can be a bitch, but he's no threat to you," Trevor said so nonchalantly that Hatton couldn't tell if it was a joke or not.
"That's nice to know..." Hatton trailed off. The two sat enjoying the peace that the early morning exuded, watching Louis be Louis and occasionally mentioning something insignificant. A chill washed over Hatton, goosebumps quickly rising.
"So, I have a preseason game tonight, as you probably know. The game isn't until 5, but I do have a practice this morning if you want to tag along...," Trevor explained, hoping Hatton would want to come to the stadium.
"And what's in it for me?" Hatton was obviously going to support Trevor, but was it really Hatton if she didn't make him work for it?
"Well, that depends on what you're thinking of...if you want to go out to eat, there's plenty of places that will be open after the game. If you want to do something, Disney is literally like 5 minutes away and I have an off day tomorrow. If you're thinking a little alone time..." Trevor wiggled his eyebrows, but he was completely joking, unless Hatton wasn't. In that case he would definitely keep the offer on the table.
"Z, what if I actually said yes to the last option. What would you do?" Hatton chuckled as she spoke.
"Probably think somebody kidnapped the real Hattie and replaced her with whatever is sitting right here," Trevor rubbed the bottom of his chin, pretending to think about what he was saying.
"Disney tomorrow would be amazing," Hatton didn't even have to think about it. She adored Disney, the smell, the rides, it was one of her favorite things. She couldn't wait.
The two made their way inside to get dressed for the day, but not before a knock at Trevor's front door elicited a howl from Louis.
"I got it," Trevor announced, leaving Hatton alone in the kitchen while she poured a bowl of Lucky Charms.
She could hear somebody come through the front door, heading to the kitchen. Hattie could tell that Trevor was quietly chewing out whoever it was that he let in, but she couldn't quite make out what he was saying exactly.
"Trevor shut the fuck up. You never used this damn Keurig, anyway," A dark-haired, fair-skinned guy sat a black Keurig down on the counter adjacent to Hatton, not noticing there was a girl right next to him.
"Why do you even need-" As soon as the guy turned and caught a glimpse of Hatton, he knew exactly why Trevor blew his phone up asking about the stupid coffee maker.
"I think I might know who you are," Jamie sent an innocent smirk to the girl across from him.
"I think I might know who you are as well," Hatton giggled, connecting the dots as to the whole "divorce" thing that Trevor had mentioned.
"You must be the infamous Hattie. Trevor hasn't shut up about you for as long as I've known him," Jamie winked, chuckling when he saw Trevor giving him a death glare.
"You must be Trevor's ex in...some capacity. You didn't have to bring the coffee maker back. I could've run through Starbucks or Dunkin," Hatton rolled her eyes as she made eye contact with Trevor. He, in turn, shrugged his shoulders.
"It's no problem, I'll just make my morning coffee here and then we can carpool," Jamie popped in a coffee pod and started it for you.
"So how did Trevor mange to get you here? I thought you didn't like him..." Jamie waited patiently as the coffee poured into the mug he had placed underneath.
"She's my girlfriend now," Trevor interjected, immediately sending Hattie the biggest grin he could manage. He would never get tired of telling people that. He had worked hard to earn that title.
"Willingly? I don't normally judge people, but I'm judging a little bit," Jamie widened his eyes jokingly, causing Hatton to chuckle. He passed her the cup of coffee and began to make his.
"You know, I kinda feel the same way. He's a weirdo, but he's very convincing," Hatton could feel Trevor staring at her, but she just watched Jamie as he smiled.
"Yeah…you know I'm right here?" Trevor spoke up.
"Yeah, we know," Jamie nonchalantly said as he sipped his coffee.
Trevor rolled his eyes as he walked away towards his room to change into his outfit for the day, Hatton filing to her room shortly after to do the same.
As she ruffled through the articles of clothing that hung in the closet, she smiled. She was going into this week with an open mind and heart. No expectations, just experiences.
She was eager to see it all unfold.

hi!! would you be able to write something for jack hughes using prompts 3,11, and 52??
Thank you to the person who requested! I loved writing this one so I hope you like it!
3. Caring for their injuries and placing a gentle kiss on each one when you're finished
11. Washing their hair
52. “Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?”
The NHL season is hard on all the guys and I knew that before dating Jack. I had seen those posts of the crazy injuries people have played through but I guess I never thought it would be him.
It’s near the end of the season. Jack and I are sitting on our couch in his apartment watching our favorite show. We are cuddled up together and he’s rubbing my back.
My leg starts falling asleep near the end of an episode so I shift my weight. When I do it I hear Jack wince. “I’m so sorry did I hurt you?” I ask.
“No baby you didn’t do anything wrong I’m just sore.” He replies without looking at me.
I look up at him seeing if he’ll look me in the eyes but he doesn’t. “Why are you lying to me? What’s wrong?” I pry, placing my hand softly on his cheek to turn his face toward me.
“It’s just some lingering stuff from the season. I’m fine, I promise.” He tries to reassure me but I’m not buying it.
I put my hand at the hem of his shirt. “Please let me see.” He simply nods. I life up his shirt and and see bruises and cuts leading down. I begin to wonder how many he has everywhere else. “Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt?” My voice wavers when I ask the question. How could he not tell me?
“I’m sorry, I just didn’t want to worry you. We have good trainers. If I was actually badly hurt I would get them to help.” He holds my face gently. I move his hands then grab his arm and start walking him toward the bathroom. “What are we doing?”
“We’re taking a bath together.” I pause, “Then we’re going to ice the bruises and bandage the cuts”
He shakes his head, “We don’t have to do that. Why don’t we just keep watching TV?”
“You’re right, we don’t have to. But you’re my boyfriend and I care about you. I’m not going to see you hurting and do nothing. If I was as banged up as you are would you think it was ‘nothing’?”
He sighs knowingly, “If it was you I wouldn’t think it was nothing.” He concedes as we entire the bathroom.
I start the tub and remove my clothes with ease. I begin to pull at his clothes, stopping to every few seconds to kiss him. I take a step back and look at him. He has so many bruises but only a few cuts. I’m mad at myself that I hadn’t noticed sooner.
When we finally get in the Bath I sit behind him. He lays against me and I rub the hot water into his skin. I hope that it gives him some relief. I begin to wash his hair and he completely relaxes under me. It feels good to make him this comfortable especially when he’s in pain.
When I’m done washing him we sit in the tub together, basking in the peace. I start kissing his neck, “Are you ready to get out.” He mutters a yes and I walk him to the bedroom.
We both put on some undergarments and I grab some first aid things. I ice his bruises and clean his cuts before bandaging them. I take my time pressing soft kisses to every blemish. Every hurt I try to replace with my touch. I know it isn’t doing much but his eyes beg me to continue.
When I’m finished we end up cuddled in his bed. “Please, always tell me when you’re in pain.”
“I will, as long as you do the same.” He respondes and we drift off to sleep together.

just a bunch of swifties 5
decided to do this before the next one(which was my original plan!) also in this the kings and ducks are playing each other so
trevor zegras x !hughes reader
surprising the boys with era tickets fic/insta edit!
hopefully the fic is okay, still not confident in my writing!
jabosml(masterlists)
the guys we’re currently at their games which was playing in the background while I waited for the queue to move forward, my knee was bouncing up and down while I looked over at the game seeing z score. I smiled and turned back to the computer seeing that the queue moved forward with 300 people being in front of me, I sighed leaning back into the couch but then I realized my drink was empty so I got up going into the kitchen opening the fridge, grabbing the new drink and quickly went back to my seat noticing that I’m 3 people away from being let in and that the game went into overtime. I quickly sat down grabbing out my card information and it let me in, I quickly typed in everything and picked the seats I wanted and sent it through I put my hands together and closed my eyes trying to stay calm. A few minutes later I opened my eyes and I saw I got the tickets and trevor made the final goal winning the game, I cheered for both smiling. I texted z knowing he would it check it later
y/n: hey babe, bring alex back with you after the game!
I got a response about 10 minutes later saying he would and that they’re swinging by somewhere for food, I sent him my order and moved the laptop to the side. Just going on my phone scrolling on whatever app I have. I heard the guys enter about 30 minutes after coming into the living room all plopping down on the couch and trevor handed me the food. “Thanks babe but I got good news for you all” I said setting my food on the table. “Oh yeah what is it y/n/n?” Alex said looking at me as jamie and trevor did too. “I got us tickets to the eras tour!” I said smiling again. “wait wait wait are you serious?? Please tell me this isn’t some fucked up prank for your failed YouTube career.” Alex said crossing his arms. “Failed YouTube career?” Trevor asked confused. “alex you promised you wouldn’t tell anybody but yes I’m serious.” I said pulling up the website saying we got tickets. The boys quickly pulled me into a hug squishing me in the middle and thanking me over and over again. “Okay can you guys let me go, I can’t fucken breathe.” I said trying to get out. “oh right sorry.” They all said letting me go. “I got them for the second night so we’ll have to book a flight to Arizona.” I said taking a bite out of my food. “okay that’s fine, so flight at 4 am?” trevor said. “Yep that works” I said cuddling into his side and putting on a movie for all of us to watch.

Fictober Day 18! 🤎
costumes and more… - Adam Fantilli
(with Luke Hughes, Ethan Edwards and Mark Estapa)
October 31st, 2022
3:44pm
“Hey Fants!” The youngest Hughes shouts as she enters the living room of the soph house where her bestfriend lays on the couch next to 2 startled boys, not expecting the entrance.
“hey chip, did you decide on a costume yet?” He asks, now earning the attention from the other 2 on the couch. “Woah I thought we were matching y/n” mark exclaims.
“no you didn’t” she cuts him off.
“How about none of you dress up with my sister and I just send her home for Halloween” Luke says while looking at his phone, leading to multiple shouts of no from the boys. Making him raise an eyebrow. “No I definitely am now, sorry y/n and Adam”
“Whatever” she rolls her eyes. “Anyway- you have overalls right” she sits next to the boy and he sits up.
“Uh I think so- oh my god you wanna be minions” he sighs in defeat while she laughs.
“Correct! You don’t need to paint your face or anything, just wear a yellow hoodie and overalls- WAIT NO I HAVE AN IDEA!” She jumps up scaring Ethan yet again, running up the stairs to his room.
“I’m scared” he sighs and gets up to go see what she is up to.
“Hughes, what are you doing” he asks and enters his room, finding her scavenging through his jackets.
“FOUND IT” she shouts and holds up his F1 Jacket he got awhile ago.
“oh okay easy, I can wear all black, do you have an f1 jacket?” He questions her while pulling other things from his closet.
“mmm no but I can find something- I have to leave but I will see you in a bit” she runs out and back out to her house having the perfect idea.
He smiles at her un-preparedness but continues to find things for his costume.
8:43pm
Y/n was supposed to be at the party 20 minutes, Adam and Luke had begun to get a little worried but then finally she walked through the door and Luke wished she didn’t.
“Nope, not dealing with that” her brother groans and walks away leaving Adam standing there, in awe basically.
“Hey ads” she smiles and walks up to him.
“Hello y/n, look at you” he smiles and takes her hand, twirling her. luckily it’s dark in the house so he can’t see the blush that rises to her face.
“Care to-“
“Woah y/n! Hello!” Ethan cheers and walks over to the two.
“Good god ethan” she playfully rolls her eyes, but it’s not uncommon at how flirty he is.
“You need a drink- I will get you one” he smiles and walks away leaving Adam and y/n alone again.
“Now run before he finds us again” she whispers in his ear sending chills down his spine.
1:49 am
Y/n has had quite the amount of drinks tonight, but what else would a college student do on Halloween.
She’d been dancing for hours and could barely feel her feet, her and Adam got separated about an hour ago while he was talking to some friends but when she went to get a drink she saw him and decided it was time to head out.
“Ads” she sighs while walking up to him, laying her head on his chest.
“Hi, you okay?” He asks and puts his beer down, Ethan and Jacob moved on from their conversation and left.
“I’m gonna go, can you call me an uber my phones dead”
“No just stay here tonight, I’m tired to we can head up” he smiles back at her, then slowly make there way to the stairs, both quite tipsy.
Along the way, Adam stubbed his toe and said “fuck up” an unfortunate mix of fuck off and shut up sending them both into a laughing fit.
They reach his room and he shuts the door, both coming off from the laughs but she noticed how close he was standing, the same time he did.
“Hi” he whispers.
The way they looked at each other, was something so much more then just being friends or best friends.
“Hi” she whispers back. “Your eyes are pretty”
he chuckles and looks away for a moment, at her lips then back to her eyes.
“Can I kiss you” he asks. She nods her head and leans her head back to reach him, her arms wrapped around his stomach while his around her back.
“I’ve been waiting a long time to do that” he says as they separated.
“Me too”
There was silence for awhile as they stood there hugging each other.
“Where do we go now, ads” she asks, worried that whatever just happened would ruin the future of their friendship.
“To bed so I can sleep” he chuckles which makes her laugh but hits him lightly to show that he’s serious.
“I’m kidding, but we can only go forwards right? Do I need to ask you or is it obvious I want to be your boyfriend”
“I hope it’s not bad luck to to start a relationship on Halloween” she smiles.
“Should we wait till Christmas?” He jokes and she rolls her eyes before kissing him again.

Tumblr media
Jake could feel his breath settle into the deepest part of his lungs, like a layer of fog sinking into a valley. 
You looked just as beautiful as the day he last left you. 
"What are you doing here?" 
His heart ached at your apprehensive tone.
He swallowed down the lump in his throat, trying to stop any tears from flowing down his cheeks. 
"I-I, uh" 
You looked at him with that same sense of fear that he never wanted you to view him with. 
He swallowed, diverting his eyes.
Your gaze was too much for him. Too heavy for him to meet. 
"I needed to see you."
Your eyebrows rose. Arms crossing as you bit the inside of your cheek, scowling.  
"Why?" 
He swallowed again, his throat almost closing as your steadily piercing gaze met his own.
He tried to take a step towards you.
You took one to match behind you. 
The sight made his heart clench. 
Every smile he brought to your lips, every sweet laugh, and adorable snort was canceled out by the sight. 
A tense silence settled between you both, disrupted only by the soft buzz of the overhead parking lot light. 
You sighed, toying with the strap of your purse. 
"You said," you licked your lips, "we shouldn't do this anymore. I'm sorry. What did you mean by it?"
His shoulders tensed as he took in your tense jaw and eyes that were now as sharp as hypodermic needles. 
"I said that-" 
"You texted me. You didn't even have the decency to say it to my face."
He took a deep breath in, eyes full of remorse. 
"Please hear me out, Caledonia. I thought- I thought I couldn't give you what you deserved. I-I screwed up." 
Your eyes fluttered in disbelief, his tone nothing like you ever heard. 
He ran a hand through his disheveled hair, letting his glassy eyes meet yours, almost missing the slight shift in your demeanor. 
"I don't… I don't understand." 
You swallowed as you saw him take a step closer to you.
You stood still and let him, the soft lapping of waves along the shoreline and high pitched ring of the overhead parking lot light caressing your ears. 
He took another step towards you, his heart warming at the fact you didn't flee. 
Perhaps all was not lost. 
"It's not an exaggeration to say that these past four weeks without you have been some of the worst weeks I've experienced in my entire life. And, " he took a few tentative steps closer, swallowing. 
You put a hand softly on his chest to stop him from coming any closer, and his trail of words.
You swallowed, shaking your head, moving your eyes up to the light polluted night sky, and biting your lip as you thought of the right words to say. 
"Do you realize what you put me through? You don’t get to come here and act like I’ll always be the one desperate and waiting for you,” you sighed,” you dropped me after your job was done. Did you only want me so you could say you could take someone's virginity and brag about it later? Was that all I was to you?"
"Caledonia, no-"
"You made me think, " you scoffed, "that there was even the smallest chance that you cared about me… wanted me, and that's more cruel than anything I could ever do to you."
Your voice held something foreign as your eyes teared and your hand retracted; venom.
"Do you have any idea the mental state you put me in? How much hope you gave me? Or were you too busy thinking about the ego boost you'd receive bragging about how you took the unwanted girl's virginity to think about it?”
Your snarl made his heart clench.
Jake could feel the tears start to build up, his voice thick and shaky. 
Unwanted?
"I -I never thought of you as being unwanted-" 
"Really? You're telling me you had nothing to gain from screwing the hard to love, mentally decrepit, overweight girl? Huh? Is that why you came to my defense at the retirement gala? To get brownie points to screw me more?"
Your voice was thick with frustration, hot tears flowing down your soft cheeks as you angrily wiped them away, scolding yourself for crying in front of him. 
“No, No, that was never my intention-”
“God, Jake, why are you here? Really here? Because it can’t be for me.”
As soon as the words left your lips, it clicked. 
Like the final piece completing a puzzle. 
Jake’s heart clenched at the scoff that left your lips.
“You’re only here for you. You did this whole thing for you. Not for me, you selfish bastard.”
His skin crawled at the seethe and frustration thick tone, your rage boiling over. 
“Caledonia- you’re right. I did it for me, but not in the way your thinking-”
You scoffed, “Jesus, I should have listened to Phoenix."
You put your shaking head into your hands, raspy breaths coming through the cracks between your fingers. 
His lip quivered, “I did it, because I wanted you and I didn’t know how to be with you.”
Your breathing paused, the ringing prominent in your ears as you took in each letter of each heavy word passing his lips. 
“Jake, don’t bullshit me. You could have any girl you want, so why did you have to play with me like this?”
Your strained, wounded voice broke him.
He swallowed and continued, "I did it because it was the only way I knew how, you’re so smart and sweet, you deserve someone who’s just as smart as you, just as sweet and kind… someone who deserves you.”
Your eyebrows furrowed.
He let out a shaky breath, “I, um, I’m not good with relationships. I’ve only ever had one serious relationship in my life and it… didn’t go well, in the slightest.”
“I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing for years…”
Sleeping together with no inent of remembering their name. 
Skin on skin with no intent to remember their softness. 
The way their whispered words of pleasure met his ears. 
It all made your skin itch in the moment. 
“...Because it was safer. I-I’m not good at this,” he scoffed, aggressively running through his already disheveled hair, “ I fly multi-million dollar jets at the speed of sound and I’ve never been scared once to do it. But being with you? Intimately and wholly? That scares me. It always has. And I didn’t know why until tonight.”
He took a shaky breath.
“Because if someone as good as you can love me, then I have something to fear up there,” your glassy eyes watched as he languidly pointed up towards the inky, onyx night sky. 
“I have something special to lose if I burn in, and that’s you. Since I saw you in your jeans and X-files shirt working Penny’s bar top for the first time, with your cute ponytail and sweet smile, it’s been you. And I’ve been too stupid and blind to see it. ”
He swallowed, eyes teary, gently reaching out for your hand. 
"Please, Caledonia, I- I can't let you go again." 
Your glassy eyes shot from his own to his calloused hand cradling your soft one.
You knew what he was asking. 
"Jake, I… I can't."
He was already so close, your eyes moving from his pleading eyes to his lips, and back to his eyes. 
You hated how this man held the power to make your resolve crumble to a fine powder. 
"Please, just one chance to make it right." 
You swallowed, almost tasting his natural, soothing scent as a soft ocean breeze brought it to your senses.
"I already gave you a chance, and look where it got me,” you whispered to him, fighting with yourself, unable to push him away. 
Jake softly bit the inside of his lower lip. 
Your body tensed as he gently lowered himself to the asphalt, his hand still softly holding your own.
You don't know why you let him keep hold of your hand, but you couldn't stop him even if you tried. 
You'd never seen this man plead, much less get on his knees for something. Or someone.
The sight almost made you wince as you imagined how the small pebbles would dig into the skin of his bare knees.
Almost. 
He swallowed, voice thick. 
"Answer me this one question, and I promise if you say no, I'll never step foot in the Hard Deck again and you'll never have to see me again." 
Your breathing rattled in your throat. 
His jaw tensed, eyes gleaming with bubbling tears in the overhead parking lot light. 
You looked so beautiful from his place on the asphalt, like a man begging for forgiveness from a goddess. 
The copper shine of your chestnut highlights almost forming a crown around your head. 
"Have you ever seen me in your life?” 
Your eyebrows furrowed, lips still painted into a frown. 
"Because everywhere I go, I see you. In the blue ocean that matches your eyes. Whenever I drive by Francisco’s, I taste the raspberry-pistachio gelato you love. I can barely drive by your campus without thinking of how smart and talented you are. When I go to the grocery store, all I think about is how I want you there with me… to pick out what we want for dinner, to argue about what kind of bread to bring home together…How’d you be able to explain what each chemical on the food label would do and how you would do your ecstatic hand movements you always do when you explain things you love. Every time, I see a woman smile or laugh, I can’t help but think… smiling and laughter look so much better on you. I can barely listen to Fanboy talk about Star Wars without thinking about how much you love the originals more than the prequels. Every time I so much as walk into my closet, you’re there. And… I should have been more honest with you. About everything." 
He took a breath, licking his bottom lip. 
"That night I came to pick you up for the retirement ball…you looked like the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. And when we went to Pleasure of the 3rd Kind? I told Myrtle that we had been together a year. I always told myself it was for the discount, but I never gave a shit about the discount. I just wanted to be with you."
You could feel your lungs constrict at the words passing his lips, paralyzing you in place.  
"And that day you asked why you’re my favorite bar maid? It was never because of the booze you give me," he scoffed. "It was always because of the way you looked at me, and how much I craved being with you… I defended you at the ball because you deserved to be defended, you’re too beautiful, kind and strong to be treated that way by anyone. And when you took care of me and made me beef stew when I was sick? That made me realize how deep I was in with you.”
He took a pause to swallow and gather his rampant thoughts.
“And, I know your mental health and weight have made you think that you’re hard to love. But the thing is… you were never hard to love and those qualities never deterred me from loving you."
He watched your glassy eyes as he licked his bottom lip.
"Falling in love with you was as easy as kissing you and falling asleep next to you. Hell, it was easier than breathing, easier than telling my heart to beat."
Tears streamed down your face as his pleading eyes continued to bore into yours.
“I should never have done what I did to you and, if you’ll let me, I’ll spend however long it takes trying to make it right, even if it takes me the rest of my life to do so. But I can’t leave you again.”
His voice shaky and thick, “I can’t. I love you too much to let you go again.”
A hitched breath passed your lips as your bottom lip quivered. 
Your voice matched his in lack of stability, “you love me?”
Jake nodded, keeping his glossy gaze on you. Both hands now cradling one of your own. 
“I do, Caledonia…I’m so sorry that I was too stupid to see it sooner. I understand if you don’t feel the same given…everything…but you deserved the honesty and an apology.”
You took a shaky breath, fluttering your tear soaked eye lashes, diverting your eyes to the cracks in the asphalt, your soul feeling like a whirlpool in the core of your chest.
"I see you too. Everywhere I go. When I serve Corona’s and whiskey neats…hear that stupid Berlin song at Penny’s,” a small, brief smile that didn’t fully reach your eyes, “when I put a damn bra on every morning… grade the freshman’s organic chem tests, play fucking cards with Amelia, make my family’s beef stew,” You sniffled, wiping away tears that were less saturated with malice and rage. 
“As much as I hated what you did, I couldn’t stop thinking about you and the… things we did together. It always felt like more than it was and I ignored it. Didn’t bring it up because I didn’t want to ruin what semblance we had of being something more than just… whatever it was we were.” 
Jake could feel tears running down his face, he wiped them away, feeling a smile start to blossom. 
“We were so stupid.” Your tear strained voice crackled against his ears. 
“No, No you’re not. You never were. I’m the one who was a complete fool and let you go. I was a coward, and I shouldn’t have run away from you.” 
You bit the inside of your lip lightly as Jake’s eyes pleaded with your own.
Your lip quivered, blinking away tears.
He watched on, eyes never leaving yours as you carefully stepped towards him, silently encouraging him to rise up. 
“Caledonia-
You smashed your lips against his, cradling your hands along his jaw and the back of his neck. Jake almost stumbled backward before gaining his bearings. 
The lack of touch from the other ignited a raging fire inside your souls that was only enouraged by the other. 
A new found established love taking hold. 
You separated with a soft gasp.
“I love you too, Jake,”
A bright, boyish, tear filled grin took over his face, eyes bright with reinvigorated life. 
You loved him. 
And he loved you.
He was given a last chance, and he would be damned if he was going to waste it.
His lips melded with yours as he gently guided your back onto the hood of your car. 
"God, I missed you so much. I'm never letting you go again." 
His desperate, mumbled words made your heart skip a beat. 
“I missed you too, promise me you won’t do something this rash and stupid again without talking to me first.” You mumbled against his lips. 
He nodded as if in a love-drenched haze. The only thing he could focus on was the feeling of you with him again. How your soft lips melded so easily with his own. 
He gently pulled way, letting his nose bump yours with a grin. A small giggle passed your lips as tears stained your cheeks. 
"Now we're even." His hushed tone made you smile. 
A bright grin took over your features as you gently scratched at the hair at the base of his skull. 
"We should go inside,” his whispered tone made you shiver.
You nodded, cerulean, teary eyes on his gleaming, jade ones, “I need you, Jake. I love you.”
His thumb caressed your cheek as tears of joy fled down your soft skin. 
“I love you too, sweetheart,” You smiled at the soft kiss he placed to your lips. 
He hastily guided you on unsteady legs towards the door of the Hard Deck, littering kisses along your neck and face as you searched for the right key. 
You huffed in frustration as he made the task infinitely more difficult. 
He smirked into the flesh of your neck, squeezing your waist as you turned the lock with a click. 
As soon as you both were inside with the door locked behind you, his lips were back on yours.
He couldn’t get enough of your taste, having spent far too much time away from it to be able to have it taken away from him again. 
A squeal left your lips as Jake grabbed the back of your thighs, wrapping them around his hips and stumbly traversing the bar illuminated only by the ethereal glow of the jukebox, red tinged light of the exit signs, and dull city lights across the bay. 
“Jake, slow down, I'm not going anywhere,” you softly said against his lips. 
He stopped his movements, letting your breaths mingle together as he pulled away. 
Your glossy eyes met his own. 
The thrumming of your heart resonating in your ears. 
"You mean that?" 
You swallowed at his heavy, whispered tone, nodding. 
Jake gently brought his lips back onto your own, letting your soft flesh meld with your own, his tongue entwining with your own. 
A whimper passed your lips as he let you down onto the soft felt of the pool table. 
"God, I love all the sounds you make." 
He whispered tenderly, his eyes full of love and warmth. 
“Sound so fucking beautiful,” he groaned as he stripped your shirt off between heat-filled kisses. 
Kisses filled with teeth and tongue, an act to get as humanly possible in the moment. 
He took a pause to admire your bra-clad breasts, his gleaming eyes meeting yours in silent permission in the distant city lights off the water. 
You nodded feverishly. His nimble fingers undoing your lacy, navy blue bra. 
His lip quirked at the sight, feeling at the lacy material.
He missed you and your navy blue. 
The sight of your bare mounds against the dim light made his cock stir, his calloused hands came up to tenderly feel at your peaks, letting them harden against the calloused pads of his fingers. 
A soft heavenly noise left your lips at the contact; a mewl. 
He never knew he could miss a sound so much. 
His tongue came down to caress your flesh, littering open mouthed kisses along your neck, sucking bruises along your throat down to your breasts.
You keened, arching your chest into him as he took a peak into his mouth, gently sucking and biting at the sensitive nerves. His hands grasped at your hips, working at unzipping your jeans. Your nails dug into his cotton-clad shoulders spurring him on, sliding your jeans down your soft, beautiful thighs to the hardwood floor. 
His breath caught in his throat at the sight of you bare except for the navy blue lace panties.
“You’re so beautiful, too good for me, Lass.”
Your heart warmed, a blush taking over as you preened against the soft felt of the pool table. 
You watched as he stripped himself of his shirt and pants, feeling your throat dry at the sight and core clench. 
Your words died on your lips as he gently leaned down and placed a full-hearted kiss against your lips, as if you were his only supply of oxygen. 
Your nails scratched against his abs to his pecs to the back of his neck, relishing in each groan that passed his lips.
“Jesus, sweetheart, I love when you feel me up, touch me.”
You giggled against his lips, “I love feeling you,” you reached down for his hardened bare cock that was settled at the edge of the table and between your thighs, “and kissing you.”
“Mhm, I missed that too. But I missed one thing almost as much. “
He gently retracted from your touch and settled on his knees. 
You could barely meet his eyes over your lounged form, settling your body on your elbows observing as Jake kneaded your thighs, stomach and breasts, brushing his thumbs along your nipples. 
A soft sigh passed his lips, as his dilated pupiled eyes took in each inch of exposed flesh. 
“I miss tasting you, feeling you cum against my tongue, miss hearing all the pretty noises you make for me… have always made for me.”
You shuddered as you kept your eyes on him as he gently ran his nose along the crease between your flushed, soaked folds, taking in a deep, full chested inhale. 
He could feel his cock throb at your smell.
“So sweet, Lass, always so sweet n' pretty,” he gently ran his forefinger along your flushed folds, separating them to see your engorged clit. 
“Fuck, you’re so good for me.”
A yelp left your throat as he licked a broad, perfect stroke up your cunt, quickly covering your mouth with your hand. 
"Oh, Jake, you don't have to do that. It's a little overgrown down th-," you whispered.
"Baby, I don't mind…I have a lot of time to make up for. God, I missed your gorgeous pussy and beautiful ass," he growled, making you shudder as he kneaded the flesh of your backside.
He sighed as he took another broad lick up your cunt.
"You're so fucking sweet… don't know how I lasted so long without your taste." 
Your face reddened by the second as he kept his dark, rainforest green eyes on yours. Your nails dug into the back of his head, keeping him in place as he continued to savor each drop of essence from your flushed folds that rivaled that of ripe peaches. 
He smiled around his extended tongue as your hips bucked involuntarily, letting your gently rub your hips against him. 
His hands squeezed at your hips to keep you steady as he sucked at your clit. 
“Oh, fuck,” you gasped, letting your body lay back onto the table. 
Your body was just as responsive, if not more, than the last time he had you. 
“God I love it when you ride my tongue, always been such a good girl.” 
You whimpered as he returned to your sopping cunt. 
Your eyes rolled back as the sensations flooded your brain, reaching out for anything to grip and hold. 
Jake’s hands reached for your own, intertwining with them.
I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere.
He placed his strong forearms over your tummy, keeping your hands and lower body still to his ministrations. 
“Oh, fuck, please don’t stop, baby,” you cried out into the empty bar as he gave your clit a harsh suck, letting it go with a soft pop. 
He loved watching you from here, taking each stroke of pleasure he could give you. 
Jake took his hand from one of your own, letting it run along your flushed entrance, before gently settling at your hole. 
You moaned as he put two of his fingers inside you, stroking that piece of salvation imbedded with-in your velvet walls. 
“Jake, please,” your manicured nails dug into his scalp to keep him in place, trying to find enough strength to rub your eager cunt against his welcoming mouth. 
But his hold on you was too strong, he had you open and ready for whatever he wanted to give you. 
He could feel your moans and mewls resonate through your body, your thighs twitching and your walls choking his fingers. 
“Come on baby, just a little more for me,” he growled against your cunt. 
The squelching and feel of your cunt made it hard to think straight as he helped push you over the edge. 
“Fuck, please don’t stop,” you wantonly mewled, “I’m so close.” 
He rubbed that special spot inside you with more vigor, needing to bring you to your release. 
He paid attention to your clit, lapping and sucking at it diligently, chasing each whine that spilled from your throat that told you you were close. 
“Fuck, baby, Jake, sweetheart, please more.” 
You couldn't help your thighs from shaking in his iron grasp as he consumed your cunt like it was his last meal on earth. 
With that he gave one last, perfect suck at your clit, making your eyes clench shut and tremors flood your body. 
Whines and moans spilled from your throat as you came down from your high, the man between your legs continuing his onslaught, cleaning up every last drop of your essence as you whimpered and mewled. 
He gave one last soft, broad lick up your core before placing a soft kiss to your still sensitive clit. 
A soft sigh of amazement passed his lips, his eyes staying on your own. 
You softly caught your breath, letting your eyes meet his. 
"I-is something wrong?" 
He scoffed, shaking his head. 
"Nothing in the slightest, Caledonia. I just… really missed watching you cum…Such a good girl… so fucking pretty when you cum, could eat your pretty, little pussy all day.”
A bashful smile broke out across your lips, matching his, as his sweet, sinful, soft, desperate voice met your ears. 
"Can't wait to feel you around my dick, Lass."
You bit your lip, admiring him as he rose up, running his broad hands along your thighs and stomach. 
His eyes met yours in a silent question
“Penny has birth control," your wispy voice made him smile.
“I just need to feel you,” you whimpered, rising up on your elbows, giving him those same innocent, sweet eyes like he didn’t just consume your cunt like it was his last meal. 
His breathing was heavy, letting his cock nudge at your entrance. His eyes meeting yours, silently asking. 
You nodded feverishly.
He kept his loving gaze on you, leaning in to meet your lips, swallowing each sigh and whine as he pushed his thick cock into your molten cunt. 
“Shh, it’s ok Caledonia, doing such a good job for me, being such a good girl.”
Jesus, you felt just as tight as the first night he had you, he thought. 
He littered kisses along your neck and back to your lips as he let you adjust to his dick. 
“Fuck, you always feel so perfect,” he groaned against your lips. 
You whimpered, “I love feeling you inside me, how thick you are. Please move Jake, I need you to move,” you pleaded with teary eyes. 
Who was he to deny you?
He smiled, placing a soft kiss to your plush lips. 
He rose up to his full height, “God, you're so fucking gorgeous.” 
His words made you clench around his cock and feel a wave of desperation you only felt for Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin. 
He looked down to where he was connected to you, letting his thumb rub tight circles onto your clit as he gently thrusted into your cunt. 
His eyes clenched shut as he savored the exquisite feeling of your velvet walls choking his weeping member. 
“Fuck, you feel so good,” he groaned, wrapping your legs around his waist and leaning down.
Chest to chest.
Heartbeat to heartbeat. 
His glassy eyes stayed on your own, and your blushing cheeks and beautiful parted lips. 
A sharp whine left your throat as he nailed that perfect spot inside you. 
The slapping of skin that came with his maintenance of tempo filled the Hard Deck with an erotic ambiance paired with your sweet moans and the squelching of your cunt. 
“Jake, please,”
A whine left your throat as his hips moved more diligently, his head laying at the crook of your neck, breathing in your scent and softly biting at the flesh. 
“Oh, fuck, please, you feel so good, right there!” 
He put all of his weight into each thrust into your cunt, hitting that same little spot inside you over and over again. 
"God, I love you so much, you and your perfect little pussy,” he groaned out, feeling the rubber band in his core stretch. 
Your lips parted as a silent scream passed through your lips, incognitable noises spewing from your perfect lips stroking his cock and stoking the flames of his love for you. 
Tears welled in your eyes as the intensity of your orgasm paired with his words made your heart skip a beat.
You gasped for breath as his lips met yours, swallowing each overstimulated whine he pulled out of you as he continued to savor each flutter of your silken walls. 
He hissed as your nails scratched and clutched at him as he found his release with a deep groan, pulsing his essence into your welcoming cunt. 
"I love you too, Jake" you hoarsely whispered. 
But it was still soft and sweet as honey. 
Jake lifted his head from the crease of your neck, his glassy eyes meeting yours. 
A genuine grin consumed his features as he caught his breath.
He leaned in, letting his nose rub against yours, his smile widening as your giggle met his ears.  
“I love you so much,” he whispered, eyes full of love. 
Your breath hitched. You could still feel his cock inside, leaking his seed into you. 
“I love you too, Jake, so much,”
He let out a soft sigh as if a weight was removed from his chest. He brought his lips back to yours as he gently pulled out, swallowing your soft sigh. 
You could only focus on his mouth on yours, his soft touch, the way his natural smell brought you so much peace and comfort. 
“You know, I always wanted to do the dirty with you on this table. Thought about it everytime I saw you serving drinks over here.”  
You clenched around his length, “Me too,” you whispered against his lips. 
His cock twitched in a mixture of both of your releases in your still dripping cunt. 
“Really?” he purred, “the thought of ruining this table and having all our friends play pool with it tomorrow night get you hot and bothered, sweetheart?”
You nodded, not trusting your voice. 
He chuckled darkly, “I thought so sweets, can feel you squeezin’ me so tight at the thought… such a needy, little Lass.” 
“I’m not needy, Jake, you’re the one that came back to me, remember?” 
His smile widened, a chuckle passing his lips.  
“Maybe I’m just as needy as you are sweetheart, nothing wrong with being needy, especially when we’re both here. I love taking care of you, Caledonia.”
He gave you a sultry grin, before bringing his lips to yours, letting your kiss him in a soft but strong kiss, like waves licking along the sides of an adrift row boat causing it to rock.
He gently pulled out, much to your protest, and gently turned you around on the pool table. 
You sighed softly, brain still fuzzy from your previous high. 
Jake covered your body as he gently thrusted into your molten core, a soft moan leaving your throat. His head nestled in the crook of your neck and hands placed on each side you, intertwining your fingers together along the felt of the table. 
Each sigh from his lips caressed the soft flesh of your neck, as he savored each inch of your body with his hands and cock. 
His gentle thrusts hit your senses like lightning to a rod of copper. 
You let your eye lids drop close, focusing on the soft, comforting feeling of him around you and his steady thrusting into your weeping pussy. 
Mewls and moans left your lips as he softly bit and nipped at your tender flesh, taking your earlobe between his teeth as he continued to pummel your cunt at a faster pace. 
Your body shivered at the growl that left his throat as he gave a particularly deep thrust right into that perfect, little spot that made you putty in his hands. 
"You gonna cum, sweetheart?" 
His gravelly, exertion ridden tone made your core clench around his dick. 
You could only mewl and nod pathetically, feeling him smile into your neck.
He gently guided your head to face him as he littered kisses along your neck, sucking pretty magenta hued blotches onto your soft skin. 
"Look at me, honey," you let your glassy eyes flutter open as he split you with his cock with each diligent thrust. 
"God, you're so fucking beautiful, I love taking you apart like this."
He gently squeezed the base of your throat, keeping your head towards him. 
His lips smashed against yours, swallowing each sigh and cry that threatened to leave your lips as you felt the coil in your belly tighten impossibly so. 
He groaned as he felt you twitch against him and around his thick cock, your nails digging into the back of his head in a delicious friction that made his spine tingle. 
You whined as his lips left yours, his forehead leaning against your own as he put his entire lower body into each perfect thrust.
You whimpered ahsinst his lips as a deep, gut-punch groan rattled against your neck and senses, feeling his release paint your walls. 
He swallowed each one of your whimpers and moans as he gently thrusted into your heat, feeling his engorged member become more sensitive. 
He caught his breath, letting his eyes clench shut as he savored the feeling of your walls holding him like a vice. 
He littered kisses along your shoulder, neck and cheek, bringing your lips back to his, relishing in each giggle that passed your lips. 
“I mean’t what I said. I can’t leave you again and I’ll do whatever it takes to make it up to you.”
You blushed at his desperate, sleep gravelled tone, turning to face him in the soft light, “I think you’re off to an excellent start, cowboy,” you whispered, letting out a soft giggle like his dick wasn’t still spent inside you. 
“I’ll be on my hands and knees for you, baby,”  he nuzzled his head into your neck and stole a kiss from you. 
“Mhm, that does sound appealing. She missed you down there, ya know…”
 You bit back a smile, feeling him laugh into the back of your shoulder. 
“I��ll be sure to explain my absence to your pretty, little friend down there,” he gently rubbed at your clit, “Let’s get back to my place.”
You turned to face him, eyes warm but tired. 
“I want to stay here for a bit, just to feel you. I missed you… a lot” 
He nodded, placing a kiss to your shoulder, “As you wish, Caledonia.” 
His hushed tone made you smile. You relished in the tender feel of his hands intertwined with your own, his plush lips, and soft, warm skin encompassing yours as the dim city lights across the bay and the warm glow of Penny’s beloved jukebox illuminated his love-filled embrace.

Note
You write Amy Hughes?? Oh my gosh I am obsessed with her! I have so many headcanons for her! Do you and what are your favorites??
Authors note: I’M SORRY THIS TOOK SO DAMN LONG TO RESPOND TO YOU!!!
So I don’t really have any since I haven’t really wrote her JUST yet BUT since it’s asked you shall receive, to try to make this as accurate as possible lol
LETS BEGIN!
1. In the beginning of the series we saw Amy as a shy new girl of Camp Stillwater (before she was evil the entire time) At first Amy would be shy when she talks to you, but when she got more comfortable she was able to be herself and would do anything to be sure you are loved as possible
2. Amy wouldn’t k*ll you, she would let you live because she wouldn’t live another day if she ever hurt you
3. Amy has a thing of seeing right through you, she knows your thoughts well… and I mean.. VERY WELL.
4. Amy would defend/protect you if you were ever hurt or bullied, she would be a big softie underneath the dark façade 
Tumblr media
5. You have a very dark sad past, which leads to panic attacks or Anxiety attacks. Anytime someone would mention it, Amy would make sure that you don’t have a panic attack by having her hand on yours or if she’s behind you she would put her hand on the back of your neck so her cold fingers would brush and massage the back of your neck to calm you down
Slight NSFW INCOMING!!
6. Amy would be pretty good in bed, she would be one to take control, she would more than happy go rough and give you marks on your back if you asked of course.

trials (and errors)
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 AO3
Chapter 3: Lovers
Love is not a static force. It needs a vector, and god help lovers whose vector is rage.
Masriel reunion (derogatory)!
Also, am I going to push my Marisa and Father MegaFail being besties (worsties) agenda? Yes, yes I am.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The crowd parts before the sinner.
No, to correct that: the crowd parts before a man of church who, in his turn, is followed by the sinner.
Either way, Marisa walks past lawmen and clerics hardly recognizing ones from the others in their black attires. The comfort of isolation has now scaled off of her entirely: after roaming endless stuffy rooms, the air feels too fresh to swallow, too brisk against the skin. Not unlike tiny cold burns. Her dress – the only moving spot of color – cuts through the pool of black drawing unreserved attention from all angles. Makes for an easy target. Whispers and looks hit it equally.
Oh, the prudes. A year back they'd stare even worse. Of course, a year back she was still a respectable, well-married lady they didn't mind eyeing occasionally as an indulgence, not a whore dragged out of exile. Maybe not the exact words she'll hear today, but surely the prevailing sentiment.
Marisa keeps her face neutral and wishes them all dead.
Another corridor, less packed with people.
'You'd profit from looking more sorry,' her guide mutters, finally slowing his step to walk side by side. 'Repentance will go a long way.'
He seems a bit nervous, but then he always does, that's the most Hugh MacPhail trait Marisa could think of. Heaven forbid people notice them frivolously conversing, today of all days. He throws lots of quick, alert glances around. The lizard daemon on his shoulder scans the space and gives him a little tap whenever someone gets too close – a note to drop his voice, or pause.
Marisa's tone, when she leans closer to reply, is a heartless mockery of his hushes.
'I think you underestimate how sick I am of acting sorry.'
Without fail, a frowning look follows. He recoils from her touch, but in a manner that speaks of habit rather than resentment: Father MacPhail, always so diligent in his priestly ways. On some level, Marisa applauds him for not falling victim to her beguiling nature. On all others, she knows that statement lacks a great big ‘yet’. She scoffs, bemused.
'This is serious,' MacPhail snarks, clearly misinterpreting the sound.
Doesn't she know.
'I'm not sure... Yes, Father Jamison,' a shoulder tap – Hugh greets another cleric with a nod and waits until he's far enough behind them before continuing. 'I'm not sure you see how serious it is, Marisa.'
He appears genuinely concerned. There’s evidently an affection, except the why of it remains as elusive to Marisa as his goals. She’s twenty-three, Hugh is bearing on his forties. She would have understood physical desire, what woman of her looks wouldn’t, but it’s not all there is.
Hugh encourages her ambition. When she’s denied academic growth, Hugh suggests she takes advantage of her husband’s status, along with his access to the sacred libraries of the Magisterium, and puts her brain back to work. Hugh even writes to the Saint Sophia’s board and inquires about a place for a prominent young scholar to give her grounds.
It’s not exactly a patronage. She’s not exactly his protégé. Should the concept of friendship be more familiar to Marisa, she’d probably recognize the similarities, but the thought never visits her. Fits of spite do, though. Spending weeks locked up in a house, wallowing in rage and a mind-numbing lack of anything to do, certainly didn’t help her moods, but it wasn’t when it started. She’s always pushed away, and one time she didn’t, look what happened.
'What do I care if I’m done for anyway,' she hisses.
'Stupid girl,' MacPhail hisses back–
–and shoves her into a narrow passageway, making a sharp swerve. It would be wonderful to break his neck for calling her stupid, but she ambles angrily along in her heels until Hugh grabs her ‘round.
His eyes are transparent-green and heavy. Perhaps, the best precaution against sin: Marisa can't imagine them offering compassion. Better not sin at all than confess to those eyes.
'Now listen to me.' The lizard slides down his sleeve to the crook of the elbow and peers at the golden monkey, him staring up with a scowl. Hugh’s hands are crushing Marisa’s shoulders. 'They want to hear from Asriel – oh, don't make that face. They want to hear from him, and they will. But it's to determine his fate, or the child's. Yours is pretty much decided.'
'And what did I just say,' she breathes out, barely unclenching her teeth.
'They can easily make it worse.'
'Oh, I doubt that.'
'Want to try them?' Hard stones bump against the back. Why does everyone insist on shaking her today? 'Go ahead. See if you like being sent to a convent for the rest of your days.'
It’s so easy to dismiss. For the longest beautiful moment, threats are just threats and words are just words, mere noises they exchange. Silly, even. Marisa opens her mouth to say exactly that, venom already rising to soak up the tongue and every word it forms, when it hits her. It hits her good.
Raw, animal fear.
'No.'
'Oh, yes.'
Splashing all over, on her face, in her guts. Inches away, Hugh is being needlessly cruel, hammering in the point that’s already reached her with sternness one can only expect from a man of god.
'Maybe you'll get to Saint Sophia's still. I hear they offer a place for women in your position, setting them back on the path of righteousness. Repentance and prayers, all day, every day.'
'No!'
This time literally, Marisa pushes away with all her strength. Hugh takes a hard step back, the green of his eyes sparks up with fury. It only takes him a heartbeat to charge at Marisa again but as soon as he does, a painful grimace twists his face – his daemon falls from the sleeve. Kneeling hastily, distracted, he stretches an arm to the floor. The lizard climbs up quicker that the monkey can reach her, leaving black paws to crush air between them.
The four of them freeze, riled up and panting. Someone once said that tragedies caught mid-action always make for the most comic statues, and well, they weren’t wrong.
Marisa breaks first.
She groans in disgust, feeling ill. Serene hallways and dull clothes, never a spark of hope, or a new idea, or an interesting conversation, forever and ever, until she's dead. She'll go mad. She’s half there already.
'I will kill myself. I will kill myself if they do that, Hugh.'
And she means it.
Hugh straightens up, smoothing his clothes, his daemon once again on his shoulder.
'Then don't tease them,' he reasons sharply.
Then, perhaps seeing her distraught face, a little kinder, 'You're very young, Marisa. Think of the future. Don't dig yourself a grave.'
Marisa’s mind scatters, as wild as it was this morning, fingers fumbling with the dress in search of something to torture. Tugging at her consciousness, her daemon's presence. He is raging because she is. He is scared because she is. As if they haven't been horrible to each other all day (and many, many exiled days before that), he's offering support. Marisa cannot bear that any more than the horrid idea of a convent.
Her feelings are too big; that’s the issue, always has been. Swelling up beyond control, they’re threatening to crush this wormhole of a corridor – and they are not for the audience. She’ll feel them later, she decides, analyzing the way her skin stretches, as thin and unreliable as the membrane of a soap bubble; she’ll feel them when she has the space, or power to withstand them. Despite the deal tasting like bile at the back of her throat, making it for the hundredth time comes slightly easier. If only her soul would quit pushing her into emotional pits, always hanging about, always wanting to connect when she can bear it the least – if only he would just quit.
Weakling.
With a sharp headshake, Marisa folds her arms for composure and walks past him, ignoring the way his beautiful gilded tail falls and twitches, tucked between the legs. One day, she’ll walk far enough.
Hugh follows her, resuming the role of a silent guide.
It takes them a few more passages, each narrower than the other, to untangle themselves from a poorly lit cobweb and reach a more familiar part of the building. There are once again people in the corridors, so whispers and looks make their return. Hugh must have taken a longer route to avoid those, for her sake. For what it’s worth, it’s a gesture.
The path ends, as all merciful things do, far too quickly.
'You can wait here. They'll summon you.'
'Will you be there?'
A pause.
'No.'
To think, she had actually hoped.
Hugh leaves.
Anxiety doesn't.
The monkey almost gets jammed by the door because Marisa doesn't care enough to hold it. She hears a loud chatter, rushed steps – and fails to be touched. A golden lightning zings around as she presses her palms tightly to her ribs and takes a few hard, shuddering breaths. Her lungs are spasming. She’d very much like to throw something at her daemon to keep him fucking quiet because it’s all too much. All around, it’s all too much, it’s all…
'I thought you'd wear black.'
Ripping through her, a familiar voice.
Of course, now the monkey shuts up. The only sound bombarding the room is her own gasping for air. Marisa cuts it immediately, then breathes again, quieter, and opens her eyes. Invisible hooks are already pulling at her flesh in multiple directions – what's another one.
Asriel is standing a bit away, as sure as a death sentence: half-turned, cradling a glass at his chest. She doesn’t have it in her to be surprised. Whatever monstrosity they’ve committed together on a cosmic level must have been grander than murder and adultery combined because it’s bound them, pulling at the threads at the worst possible moments. Inside, a morbid feeling rises, about as gentle as a flood that breaks the dam: they won’t ever leave each other alone. She could climb the highest mountain of the farthest north, and he’d still be there.
Marisa gropes for the door handle, fully set on leaving; then doesn’t. Her eyes, for some reason, fixate on that drink Asriel's holding: something pleasantly amber, warm, leaving trails when swirled. A thirst that’s been tormenting her since the morning parts her lips – alcoholics have more will, for heaven’s sake. Marisa can't move. She doesn’t even blink, just holds herself perfectly still. Prey always does.
Asriel chuckles, noticing.
'Need a drink?'
She could kill him. She’s an open wound in indigo, and despises Asriel for seeing it. For mocking it, too. It takes an actual, physical effort to move her eyes up to his face, but finally – there he is, the bastard. Hard jaw and a five-day stubble. She also despises herself for knowing what his five-day stubble looks like.
He nods an invitation: a bottle on the table, some empty glasses.
'Don’t drink alone. Never ends well, especially for women.'
Every word – a taunt. Between the grown hair and the shirt sleeves he, for once, didn’t roll up, it is the same man Marisa knew, yet as soon as the haunting spreads, the image falters. Something fundamental in him has changed, sending a sting of sharp loss right to the heart. It’s not in the stance, or in the voice, or the clothes; more subtle than the line of his cheekbones, less obvious than a grey streak falling on his forehead. His eyes are different, she thinks. The way Asriel is laughing, it only makes them darker with hard, grim triumph. Like he’s playing a game that he knows to inevitably end in a massacre.
Still, it is him.
It is him.
Marisa tries out different phrases in her mind. I hate you. How are you. Are you well.
She says none of it.
Out of nowhere, a long silvery shadow moves across the floor, causing her daemon to perk up in what feels like acidic burns in her lungs. Stelmaria brushes past Asriel’s knees, and for a moment, Marisa loses her god-given, natural ability to breathe. It feels murderous, hope. Whoever invented it must have been a sick brute.
The monkey glances over for permission he knows he won’t have, but the sadness in him. Sadness and excitement, beating somewhere so deep in her own heart she's choking on it. Marisa clenches her fists, pushes it down, and glares a warning. It isn’t a conversation, those have withered between them like flowers on a fighting arena until nothing remained but orders: chisels and scalpels, to carve, to mold. With the same woeful expression, her soul ignores her. Never been mellow, this one, yet now he turns away, treading a few careful steps to sit before the leopard, quiet and mesmerized.
It’s so different from the way he sat this morning, aiming for a strike across Marisa's face. He's looking. He's admiring.
Stelmaria lowers her big head. A touch more–
At the same time, Marisa and Asriel jerk their chins, and the daemons instantly return, yanked back, looking ashamed and scolded. Just before Stelmaria hides behind the table again, she finds Marisa’s eyes. Fresh burns sizzle with guilt. It shouldn’t be possible to hate one part of the same soul, yet love the other.
Asriel seems shaken, too. Conflicted even – he who has always been as one with his daemon. Get used to it, Marisa wants to say but locks her lips for fear of saying something else entirely.
'Well.' He rubs his eyes.
'Well,' she echoes.
Well, first words poorly spent. Should have been something eloquent and scathing.
'She speaks,' Asriel smirks from across the room and just like that, he’s back at it. That first glimpse of a man he’ll become, unparalleled in strength and coldness, goes unnoticed by Marisa at the moment, but will scratch her memory for years to come.
He waits for a reply. With every second, his face falls a little, until finally he just shrugs and starts walking around the table. Wanders mindlessly, deeper into the room. It's someone's study, must be. A giant desk is set on a podium at the far wall. Asriel sips from the glass going shamelessly through the papers lying around, so uninterested in her presence it fires Marisa's insides right up. Oh, she speaks. She will maim you with words as soon as she decides what to say.
Fists and hair, she marches up to him. Asriel doesn’t even fully turn, just looks at her sideways: walls and walls and walls behind storm-cloud eyes. She forgot he was tall. Beginnings of a rough beard make him older in appearance, but that’s the thing. That’s the thing. He is young, and so is she, and youth is violent.
'You have ruined everything.'
Asriel raises his eyebrows, dully unintrigued.
'Exactly what?'
Her emotions are a swarm of foul bugs rubbing wings. Exactly what, he asks. How to even formulate it.
Being thrown back so far, the road she'd taken seems but a vague thread near horizon, completely out of her reach.
Exactly what.
Every door that's now closed, every victory clawed out in battles turned to ashes. All scarcely accumulated freedom, taken.
Him offering her marriage without even realizing how that would be the last shovel of dirt into her grave of public acceptance, and then acting so offended about her refusal.
Exactly fucking what.
The crippling, boiling fear of living out her life among brainless clucks interested only in talking of sin and salvation, because one damned reckless man fired a pistol and did not have a decency to miss, blowing it all out of proportion.
'You killed Edward.'
'Ah,' Asriel exhales throwing his head back, and Marisa feels deranged enough to go for the jugular with nothing but her teeth. Then he looks down again. 'You must have loved him so.'
Massacre.
…massacre.
A slap rings through the air. Immediately, Marisa’s palm stings, stunned from the impact, Asriel's sharp inhale lingering on the skin. His posture, if only for a second, changes to resemble that of an animal ready to chase its prey. Marisa half-wishes he did, because the alternative is watching him slowly straighten his shoulders and sneer in a way that drops the temperature in the whole room.
She hears Stelmaria growl behind him. That, for some reason, feels like an even bigger betrayal because she's never growled at Marisa before.
Asriel touches his cheek. Nods pensively as his eyes wander to the table. Something long and silvery finds its way into his hand – a letter opener, with a thin blade and a richly incrusted handle. A piece of value, it seems. Asriel keeps turning it in his fingers.
'That's right,' he says at last. There's nothing right about that. 'That is exactly why we're here. Let's cut each other's throats and be done with it.'
He doesn't mean, of course, literally – although Marisa wouldn't exclude it. When he looks up, it's like stepping under the waterfall, except instead of water, there's resentment hurling its rushing weight off the cliff. It breaks Marisa's bones a little, just so she can barely stand, but not much else. She wonders where her fear went. As she explores every last corner of herself, she only finds white-hot rage.
Marisa doesn't mean it either, of course, even when she forces his hand out of spite. A silver blade – not too sharp, but sharp enough – presses against her neck: move it sideways, and it will leave a cut. Asriel's palm is wrapped around the handle, warm in her grip.
'You'd like that, wouldn't you?'
They're standing so close you’d think them lovers. Swallowing, Marisa feels the metal scrape her skin with intimacy only sharp edges possess. Asriel stares at the motion with a truly horrible expression. On his face, hunger is bleeding into hatred and contempt has a tinge of admiration to it, all feelings rooting so deep in each other it’s like excavating ancient history from ice. Ice cuts your hands, parting with secrets.
His chest rises, Marisa can feel it with her own.
'You're insufferable,' says he, a man who made her a widow in her twenties when she had plans for life.
Way behind, the monkey lets out a loud hiss – always closer at their worst. Up dart Asriel’s eyes, above Marisa’s shoulder, and she suspects her own eyes looked about the same when she saw Stelmaria. Full of longing. There’s a lot about connecting with someone’s daemon: for one, it doesn’t often happen. For all else, and that’s a nuisance if you come to hate the person, the connection doesn’t break.
No, that’s not it. Connection leaves room for all kinds of things twisted into it, when in reality, you’re specifically unable not to love.
She wakes disoriented, dizzy from the gentlest aching in her heart, only to find Asriel asleep with a ball of golden fur curled comfortably under his arm, the memory flashes and fades in a second. She’d never felt weaker. She’d never felt happier. She’s holding a knife to her own throat and doesn't know how to tell Asriel that she wants to crawl inside his chest. Slither between the ribs, and nestle against his giant pulsating heart, and stay there for a while before returning to her normal size and ripping him up from the inside. A payback for every good thing she still remembers.
'I hate you.'
Asriel blinks. Looks at her again. His hand is very steady, tangled in vines of Marisa's fingers.
'I've taken the child,' he says a little hoarsely, 'just so you know.'
Oh, that is low. And somehow even worse than I hate you, too.
That one time, when they were fighting, Asriel asked, 'Would you rather I’d let your goddamn husband kill our child?' Well, not asked; he was shouting like a madman. Doesn't matter. 'WOULD YOU RATHER I’D LET YOUR GODDAMN HUSBAND KILL OUR CHILD?!' And Marisa thought, yes. Yes, you idiot. Children are replaceable. You know what isn't? Reputation.
Her reasoning hasn't changed much over the days of isolation. Ignoring every reason, her body keeps exploding with the need of a child she doesn't want. There’s not a chance Asriel could have guessed, but pushing random buttons seems to be just as efficient as inflicting pain on purpose.
Another hard swallow.
'Is she safe?' Marisa strikes the perfect dry, pragmatic tone despite the most vicious yearning building underneath.
'From you? Yes.'
'Good.'
It is good. She doesn't know what her body could enslave her to do if there existed the slightest chance of getting near that child. It is very, very good that Asriel hates her enough to spare her the turmoil. She’s almost grateful.
'I'll fight you to death.' It’s not a warning, not a threat, he simply states the fact. They say all the wrong words. Come to think of it, they're both really bad at saying the right ones.
'Mine on yours?'
Oh.
Right there, it slips away from her: yours, with a trill, throat slightly vibrating against the blade. She blinks. That unexpected soft rolling from the language Marisa only spoke in childhood, and still it creeps into her voice whenever her heart is turbulent enough. Maybe it's stuck. Maybe she's stuck. Just an emotional child who's used to mumbling excuses in French, drowning in chamomile.
But she isn't excusing herself now.
Asriel's eyes narrow – of course, he knows that little thing about her, that little sign of her weakness. What an inconvenient thing for lovers to share everything. He'll wander off to the world holding that knowledge above her head like a sword, and Marisa couldn't torture it out of him if she tried. There are parts in her that to Asriel, by Asriel, will never be un-known. The thought is dooming.
Asriel is watching her, their hands entwined over the handle of a knife pressed to her neck. That's probably the best description of what he is to her.
'Have courage, Marisa Delamare,' he says finally, butchering her maiden name into a vague pronunciation of its meaning: de la mer – of the sea. Thorold, for some reason, was ecstatic to learn it, and Asriel...
You're a sea creature through and through.
He never called her anything but Delamare in private.
I love you, sea creature.
'Have courage to hate me.'
He hugs Marisa then. She fights back on instinct, only there's no space between his arm pulling her close and the blade that the bastard doesn't even lower. She reaches for Asriel’s shoulders to push him away. She ends up clinging to him. Nothing about it makes sense, except that her heart is slowly shredding itself to pieces with longing and hatred. That makes perfect damn sense. As they stand in this monstrous embrace, Marisa thinks that if it's always going to be like this, them meeting by chance and instantly wanting to be whole, she'd rather just step forward and slit her throat now.
She also plans on never forgiving him for kissing her hair: after all, she is young, and youth is full of always' and nevers, among other things that rarely stand the test of time.
Asriel's hand is unresisting when she takes the knife from it; silver clanks back on the wooden table, and then it’s quiet. Still close, they stop holding each other.
'Right,' Marisa exhales, taking a step back before meeting his eyes again: storm-blue and sapphire-blue, on the same spectrum, yet irreconcilably different. 'So, let's go kill each other. It'll make a great show.'
She turns to leave. Asriel grabs her wrist.
'I won't spare you, Marisa.'
'I don't need you to.'
His lips are dry and angry, then wet from hers. No fight this time. Resistance takes a coherent line of thought from the impulse to the action, and Marisa is not in possession of such a treasure anymore. Her impulses and actions are all over the place mixing, overlapping, clashing to the point of disaster. It’s all too much.
Somewhere close, their daemons are grumbling in the softest voices. Opening her mouth to Asriel’s tongue, she imagines them playing: gleams of silver and gold, small hands curled around a thick neck, caressing the spotted fur. Noses pressed together; slightly out of breath, because they are. Kind, kind. The sheer need for the same kindness twists Marisa’s insides, leaving her vulnerable, malleable like a piece of clay in Asriel’s arms when all he’s giving her is rough. Not at all like a lover saying farewell, just rough – merciless even, scratching her with a beard, grabbing her, squeezing so hard that her hips are already anticipating the bruises, and soft like bruised skin, she takes it.
Her daemon whimpers in pain in Stelmaria’s claws, and only then, mid-kiss, Marisa chokes on understanding. They’re not lovers, and they aren’t saying farewell. Whatever she’s doing is her fault entirely because Asriel is sealing a deal they made, a deal to crush each other, stealing her breath and lips to sign on the horrors. Only forward with it now.
He leaves abruptly without giving Marisa a second look, just a slight push as he lets go of her, the slightness of it delivering the worst insult. Stelmaria shadows his step across the room – the leopard’s head hangs low, but it’s not enough to matter, let alone change anything – and out of the door.
There's nothing else.
Except – the monkey racing around.
Except – Marisa's own hot gasps and the furious tears she blinks away. That’s what you get for remembering good things, that vile feeling of being killed in a very precise, specific way. She should have stuck with rage. She should have put another promise into her kisses, a violent one. The regret of giving away tenderness slashes at her stomach with full ferocity of a too-late realization.
She tries to rub Asriel's hands off. She rubs, then rubs more: her palms fire up immediately from the dress, but the handprints persist. At least in the process she disturbs a sore spot from when the maid pinched her this morning. It's better to focus on that. Focusing on honest physical pain, Marisa finds, mostly helps.
She allows herself one sip from Asriel's forgotten glass.
Then downs it.
