"Let me get this straight about you Humans. You cannot drink water from the most abundant source on your planet because it is 3% salt, yet you can easily process various poisons like capsaicin, caffeine, and menthol, with no harm and even some benefits?"
Amber blinked over the lip of her coffee mug (which had Galactic Star Coffee Co.'s latest roast in it. Delicious.). She had just barely started her day when the ruler of the Navrens star system barged into her office with a confused look on their face.
"Um...I mean..." She looked down at her coffee then back up at the Navrens ruler. She put her mug down. What ironic timing.
"You are quite literally consuming poison right now, Human Ambassador!"
"Uh, well, caffeine is poisonous, but unless we consume too much of it, it isn't harmful to us," Amber explained. "Unlike most other things on Earth, we have a very high tolerance for it."
The Navrens ruler started to shake their head slowly, disbelieving.
"That is...horrifying to hear. And you consume at least two cups of that 'coffee' each day! How is a measly 3% salt more deadly than such a deadly poison as caffeine?!"
Amber rubbed the back of her head. "Science isn't really my strong suit, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the fact that the ocean is just too salty. The water has more salt than human bodies can process or something like that. We still consume salt, but it's just enough where it isn't harmful for us. If we drink ocean water it'll just make us thirstier."
The Navrens ruler gently slammed their hands on her precious luxury item oak wood desk.
"But 3%?! It is not that much salt! We Navrens consume much more than a measly 3%! How are you Humans so strong yet so fragile at the same time?!"
"I don't really know what to tell you. Humans are weird like that."
The Navrens ruler moved their hands from her desk to grasp her shoulders tightly, yet gently. They started tearing up as they stared at Amber with a deep sadness.
"Human Ambassador...you are missing out on some of the finest delicacies in the universe because you are made to be able to process such deadly poisons..."
"U-Um, it's really nothing to be so sad over...please don't cry..."
Amber started patting their hands but startled when they suddenly pulled away.
"That is it! I have made up my mind! I will find a way for you to be able to consume the most richest of delicacies known to the universe! It is the least I could do to repay you for the precious oak wood standing desk you have so graciously gifted me!"
"Huh?! Y-You don't have to do that for me! Besides, ordering a desk for you wasn't something hard for me to do!"
"No, wood is precious and the only way to pay you back for it is to let you experience everything the universe has to offer that Humans cannot indulge in. You will experience pleasure beyond compare!"
Amber blushed furiously and shielded her face with her arms, eyes tightly shut from embarrassment.
"D-Don't say it like that!!!"
"Come, Human Ambassador! We will go on the most wonderful adventure together right now!"
"Right now?! I just got here!!!"
âLet me get this straight about you Earthlings. You cannot drink water from the most abundant source on your planet because it is 3% salt, yet you can easily process various poisons like capsaicin, caffeine, and menthol, with no harm and even some benefits?â âThe human body is weird, man.â

Honey love, dark eyes
⥠Chapter three âĄ
Summary: Life seems to smooth out with Travis, but an encounter with another Miller stirs your feelings again. Joel comes home at night, and a box waits for him at the kitchen. Word count: 4.8k A/N: Here is a shorter chapter (compared to the previous ones lol) while we're waiting for part 4⊠Can't wait for the Hoffman's barbecue. Joel isn't usually enthusiastic about it, but something tells me he's not going to miss it this time. ALSO, I have tried to tag all of you, but for some reason some tags don't work, if anyone knows how to fix it please let me know <3.
October 17th. The first thing you discovered was a black sweatshirt, crumpled and forgotten, stuffed in the back of your closet among old clothes and memories. You tossed it into the washing machine and set off to search your house for more of Joelâs things. It didnât take long to find remnants of him: an old Pearl Jam T-shirt, a white mug bearing his initial that youâd pilfered a few months prior, a couple of CDs with his eclectic taste in music, a well-worn paperback novel, and a screwdriverâthe very tool you had used to assemble the small piece of furniture for your bathroom, a testament to your attempts at domesticity.
You placed the T-shirt beside the sweatshirt in the washing machine, feeling a bittersweet nostalgia wash over you as the machine began to spin, the water swirling like your thoughts. The rest of his belongings you carefully set aside in a wooden box, considering when and if you would return them to him. Maybe it would be a gesture of goodwill, a way to close a chapter, but the thought of confronting him felt daunting, like standing on the edge of a cliff.
Three weeks later, the distance felt like a weight in your chest. You hadnât spoken since that last conversation, and every accidental encounter with him had turned into a delicate dance of avoidance, your eyes darting away as if to shield yourself from the unspoken pain. You suspected he was doing the sameâhis awareness of your schedule precise, his movements deliberate. You didnât blame him for it; there was a strange gratitude in the space he had created between you, a sanctuary that allowed both of you to breathe.
Sarah, on the other hand, was a constant presence in your life, her visits frequent and welcome. You couldnât decipher what Joel had shared with her, but she was unequivocal in her understanding that something had shifted between you and her father.Â
âDad said I can come see you as long as I donât ask too many questions and I donât fall asleep,â she announced brightly the first afternoon she bounded into your home, just two days after your last exchange with Joel. âBut I want you to know I wonât say anything if you want to tell me everything.âÂ
Her offer was a balm, and despite the lingering pain, you found yourself laughing, the weight lifting slightly as you embraced her. In that moment, you felt relieved to know that Joel had managed to compartmentalize, that his daughter was not to bear the burden of your heartbreak, nor was she responsible for the fallout. You wanted to continue seeing Sarah, and thankfully, she wanted to keep coming over, a small beacon of normalcy in a turbulent time. That connection remained untainted by the rift between you and Joel.
The clock ticked on, and now it was five oâclock on a crisp afternoon. You stood in your front yard, the late autumn sun warming the back of your neck as you surveyed your plants. Closing your eyes, you savored the gentle warmth, the way it wrapped around you like a familiar embrace. Your lawn and those of your neighbors glowed with the fiery hues of orange and yellow, leaves fluttering like confetti in the soft breeze. It was, as always, your favorite season.
Suddenly, a voice broke through your reverie, calling your name. You turned to see Travis crossing the street, his smile brightening the drab fall afternoon. You waved back, unable to suppress a smile of your own as he approached.
âEnjoying the sunshine?â he asked, stopping beside you, his hand settling on your waist as he leaned in to plant a soft kiss on your cheek.
âAs much as I can,â you replied, a warmth spreading through you that was both comforting and surprising. Your gaze dropped momentarily to your feet before lifting back to meet his. âGoing somewhere?â
âOn a quest for dessert,â he said, a playful glint in his eyes. âCare to join?â
You hesitated, considering for a moment. âIâd better stay and get some work done,â you replied, gesturing toward your front door with a tilt of your head. âBut let me know when you get back; Iâd love to help with dinner.â
He nodded, a flicker of disappointment passing across his face before he masked it with a smile. After a brief goodbye, he left, giving your waist a gentle squeeze that sent a flutter through your stomach, leaving you feeling both elated and unsettled.
Two weeks prior, you had watched him run past your house, clad in sports gear, hair damp with sweat. There was something magnetic about him; he looked so effortlessly good that a rush of somethingâdetermination? Recklessness?âhad surged through you. You couldnât let your past with Joel hold you hostage any longer. It was absurd to keep Travis waiting, simply because you hadnât been sure of what you felt, or how you should feel. So, you had gathered your courage and knocked on his door, your heart racing at the thought of stepping out of the shadows of your previous life.
When Travis opened the door, his surprise morphing into delight had made your resolve solidify. Youâd admitted to him that you were navigating a rough patch, and to his credit, he seemed to understand without pressuring you further. That night, he whisked you away for dinner, and in the weeks that followed, the ease of your time together became a welcome reprieve.Â
He was everything you neededâfunny, honest, and refreshingly straightforward. He laid his feelings out without demanding anything from you, giving you space to breathe, to recalibrate. You had shared meals together, enjoying his company, indulging in laughter and sweet treats that he always brought, knowing they were your guilty pleasure.Â
With him, everything felt uncomplicated, and the more time you spent together, the more you sensed your feelings beginning to shift, like the autumn leaves around you. That night, you resolved to let him make the first move, ready to embrace whatever came next.
*
âWhat did you think?â Travis asked, his gaze lingering on you, as if the answer might reveal something bigger.
You let out a laugh, the kind that builds in the chest and escapes before you can decide whether itâs actually funny or just absurd. âThat was⊠utterly ridiculous,â you said, watching the movie credits roll up the screen. âRidiculous and completely unbelievable.â
He grinned, sinking back into the couch beside you, his eyes meeting yours with a glint of shared amusement. âRight? Itâs like... a marvel in chaos. Terrible, but in a way that you canât look away.â
You raised an eyebrow, feeling a mix of disbelief and fondness for his strange taste in movies. Zombeavers. Heâd made you watch Zombeaversâa movie so bizarrely nonsensical that you couldnât help but laugh half the time, its zombie-beaver puppets meant to be terrifying but only succeeding in being bizarre. Heâd assured you beforehand that it was purely for fun, the kind of film that didnât demand to be taken seriously, and youâd been dubious but willing.
As your laughter softened, you shifted just a little closer to him, that familiar but thrilling nervousness making your heart flutter. Travis had turned his attention to scrolling through movie options, his fingers lightly tapping the remote as he concentrated. For a brief moment, you hesitated, wondering if it was obviousâhow close you were, how much you wanted him to notice. Gathering your courage, you rested your head on his shoulder, letting your gaze drift up to his face just as he glanced down, his eyes softening.
âAre you sleepy, pretty girl?â he murmured, and his voice had that gentle, familiar warmth that made you feel like a teenager again. Your cheeks flushed, and you wondered if he could feel your pulse quicken against him.
âNo,â you replied, your voice barely more than a whisper as you smiled up at him. Tentatively, you lifted a hand to trace the line of his jaw, your fingers grazing his skin as you tilted his face closer. âI just like being with you.â
Travisâs smile deepened, and he leaned in, his hand cradling your face with such tenderness that it nearly broke something in you. His lips met yours softly, a gentle touch, unhurried and respectful, his thumb brushing lightly across your cheek. You sank into the kiss, letting it ground you, feeling cherished and safe in a way you hadnât for a long time.
But there, at the edge of your mind, was Joel. Joel with his intense, almost possessive hunger, the way heâd kiss you as if he were afraid heâd never have the chance again. That rawness, the recklessnessâit was such a stark contrast to Travisâs gentle control, his restraint. And part of you hated yourself for even thinking about it, for craving something so reckless, for missing what you knew wasnât good for you.
You pulled back slowly, afraid that your eyes might betray the swirl of conflicting feelings inside you. Travisâs gaze lingered, his hand still on your cheek, and he seemed almost reluctant to let you go, waiting for you to guide him back in. His patience was admirable, though you felt a strange frustration at the lack of urgency, the careful distance he maintained.
âIâm actually a little tired,â you said, giving him a quick peck on the lips, hoping he wouldnât see through the slight restlessness in your eyes. âBut Iâd love to see you tomorrow. How about dinner at my place?â
He nodded, his face brightening. âSounds perfect.â He stood, reaching out a hand to help you up. âIâll walk you to your door, and that's just an excuse for another goodnight kiss.â
You laughed, reaching for his hand and letting him pull you up, feeling the warmth of his arm around you as you leaned against him. Outside, the air was brisk, the night cool against your skin, and you wished youâd thought to bring a jacket. Not that it mattered much; Travis lived just across the block, a short walk away, but close enough to Joelâs house that the proximity always felt strange.Â
Crossing the street, you noticed Joelâs truck wasnât there, and you willed yourself not to dwell on it, tuning back in to Travisâs voice as he asked, âAre you going?â
You blinked, caught off guard. âGoing where?â you asked, your voice apologetic. âSorry, I zoned out for a second.â
âTo the Hoffmansâ barbecue,â he said easily, unbothered by your momentary distraction.
Ah, the Hoffmansâ annual Halloween gathering, an event known for Brendaâs culinary enthusiasm and Ianâs grill mastery. Last year, Brenda had baked an array of spooky treatsâeyeball jellies, spider cupcakes, you name it. Sarah had devoured at least ten jelly eyes, and youâd indulged in an uncountable number of chocolate spiders. The evening had ended with a viewing of Nightmare on Elm Street, and everyone had left buzzing with laughter and sugar.
âYes, of course,â you replied, nodding with more enthusiasm. âWouldnât miss it. Brenda is amazing at baking. Have you tried her red berry cupcakes?â
âTheyâre dangerous,â Travis agreed, grinning as he walked you up to your doorstep.
A flicker of movement caught your eye, and you glanced over to see Tommy, Joelâs brother, sitting on the front porch of Joelâs house, a cigarette hanging lazily from his fingers. He watched you with a friendly, knowing smile, and you couldnât help but smile back, though you quickened your pace slightly as you reached your door.
âSo, what time tomorrow?â Travis asked, tilting his head.
âEight?â you suggested, feeling an odd mix of excitement and unease.
âPerfect,â he replied, and once again his hand lifted to your cheek, thumb tracing the curve softly. But as he leaned in to kiss you, you couldnât shake the feeling of invisible eyes from across the street, watching. Your mind lingered, unbidden, on Tommyâs piercing gaze.
Travis leaned down, and you met his kiss, brief, almost rushed, pulling away with a small, nervous smile. âIâll see you tomorrow,â you whispered, glancing up at him before stepping back. âGoodnight.â
âGoodnight, gorgeous,â he murmured.
You stood watching him leave, distractedly thinking about the evening you'd spent. You were annoyed that you hadn't accepted his date earlier, and at the same time, you didn't blame yourself too much.Â
When Travis walked into his house and closed the door, an involuntary sigh escaped your chest.
"Everything okay over there?" Tommyâs voice jolted you out of your thoughts, sounding like a splash of cold water. He was sitting on the front steps, watching you with a casual curiosity that somehow felt entirely too knowing.
You approached slowly, glancing toward the empty entrance of Joelâs house.
"Hey, Tommy," you greeted, a hint of melancholy coloring your voice. It was strange, seeing him here aloneâanother Miller, but not the one who lingered in your mind. "How are you?"
Tommy stubbed out his cigarette on the step, shrugging with a small grin. "Well, currently on a break from babysitting duty," he joked. "What about you? Itâs been a whileâwhatâd Joel do now?"
A chuckle slipped from your lips, the irony of it all making your stomach tighten. He probably didnât know anything, yet heâd been part of Joelâs carefully built wall of deception. It made you feel odd, but you brushed the feeling aside.
"I've just been busy," you said, knowing how unconvincing it sounded.
Tommy nodded, understanding the subtext without question. "Right," he said, an amused smile forming, "So, Dunn got the girl?"
You couldnât help but smile back, though you realized too late that your openness might be ill-placed. "Yeah. Heâs a good man. I really like him."
It felt surreal, sharing this with Joelâs brother, but somehow you didnât mind.
"Sarahâs asleep?" you asked, changing the subject, hoping for some distraction.
He nodded, his smile softening. "Out like a light right after dinner. Poor kid didnât even try the ice cream she begged me to get for movie night." He chuckled, shaking his head.
You smiled at the image, letting yourself savor the thought of Sarah, the cozy living room, the quiet warmth that had always drawn you to this house. It felt bittersweet, like glimpsing a life you no longer fit into. The last time youâd been there flickered in your mind, and any warmth vanished.
When you glanced back at Tommy, he was watching you, brow furrowed slightly, as if trying to read what you werenât saying.
"I donât mean to pry," he began cautiously, his tone gentle. "But Joelâs been⊠well, intolerable lately. Can I ask what happened?"
You raised an eyebrow, a sardonic smile creeping onto your lips. "Sure, Tommy," you replied, a touch of sarcasm bleeding through. "He hasnât told you anything?"
"Are you kidding?" He laughed, shaking his head. "I asked him once, a couple of days ago, and he practically bit my head off."
You let out a dry sigh, crossing your arms. "He lied to me, pretty sure you know about that," you said, feeling the weight of it again. "We argued, and⊠things just happened."
Tommyâs eyes widened slightly, but the look of surprise faded quickly, replaced by a knowing smile. He stood up, crossing his arms as he stepped closer, his gaze amused and unrelenting.
"I knew it," he said, his grin widening. "You two slept together."
Your mouth fell open, and you dropped your arms, an incredulous laugh escaping.
"Shut up," you muttered, taking a step forward, cheeks flushing.
Tommy laughed, as if this moment had been a long time coming. "I always knew it would happen," he said, his tone only half-joking. "Ever since Joel introduced you, I swear, the guy had heart eyes and all. Poor guy looked like he was about to carve your name into every tree from here to the city limits. It was almost embarrassing."
You shook your head, a pang of sadness pressing on your chest. "Thatâs not it, Tommy. Thatâs not⊠itâs not true."
He studied you, unconvinced, his brow furrowing slightly, though the amused glint remained in his eyes.
"Joel doesnât want this. He doesnât want⊠us," you continued, your voice quiet but certain. "And honestly, I donât think I do either." The words tasted bitter even as you said them, yet you held his gaze, determined to mean it. "I think I might actually like Travis."
"I see." Tommyâs nod was slow, his eyes searching yours as if detecting the truth you werenât quite hiding.
âWhere is he?â The question slipped out before you could stop it, and you almost wished you could take it back. You shouldnât be concerned about where Joel was spending his nights. But curiosity itched at you, demanding answers.
Tommy hesitated, rubbing his hand over his mouth, glancing off as if debating whether to answer. The pause made you anxious, and you shifted under his gaze, feeling exposed. "He, um, he went to seeâ"
"Sienna," you finished, the name coming out like a blade you hadnât prepared for. Tommyâs nod confirmed it, and you felt it cut a little deeper than youâd anticipated.
The thought of Joel being with her after being with you twisted something fierce and raw inside. Yet, a part of you was oddly grateful for the pain; it reminded you just how little heâd been affected by all of this, how seamlessly heâd returned to life as it had been. Why should he have changed anything for one night? That didnât mean enough to make him reconsider Sienna, his plans, his life without you. It was unbearable and somehow clarifying.
With your voice steadier than you expected, you looked back at Tommy. "Can you do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"Come with me for a second." You spun on your heel, heading toward your house, and you heard Tommyâs footsteps fall into step behind you. Inside, you gestured for him to wait in the foyer, then climbed the stairs, your heart pounding. A rush of resentment, of something close to fury, washed over you. You had to rid yourself of everything that still held you back to him, everything heâd left behind.
When you came back down, you were carrying a box, simple and impersonal. Tommy glanced at it, lifting an eyebrow. "Whatâs that?"
"A couple of Joelâs things. Be a dear and save me the trip of bringing them back to him." You smiled tightly, the effort to stay composed nearly exhausting you.
Tommy laughed, clearly amused by the defiance in your expression.
"Yes, maâam," he said with a grin, giving you a small salute as he took the box. You watched him step over the threshold, the box in his hands, feeling a strange mix of relief and something hollow.
"Thank you, Tommy," you said softly, closing the door as he left. Alone in the quiet of your house, your shoulders slumped, and all the strength youâd gathered felt like it was leaking away, leaving behind the ache of realization. Joel wasnât just far from you; he was unreachable, a memory already fading, three weeks stretching like an eternity between you and the friend heâd once been.
*
Joel opened the door slowly, shoulders slumped, his gaze dropping to the floor before he even stepped inside. The house was dark and quiet, as if it were waiting for him to finally fill it. He glanced around the empty living room, feeling the stillness of the space, then checked the time on his wristwatch: 11 p.m. It felt later than that, somehow.
âTommy?â he called, his voice breaking the silence as he moved into the kitchen, where he found his brother, casually leaning against the counter with a bowl of ice cream, looking like heâd been waiting all night.
âHow was your night?â Tommy asked, raising an eyebrow, his tone almost amused, as if he were privy to some unspoken secret.
Joel exhaled, the kind of tired sigh that settled deep in his chest, and dropped heavily into one of the wooden chairs at the table. He rubbed a hand across his forehead, dragging it down over his mouth before resting it on the table, the weariness of the day palpable in the lines of his face. His eyes met Tommyâs probing gaze, and he tilted his head, frowning slightly.
âFine,â he replied, his tone clipped and a little defensive. âHow was Sarah?â
âShe conked out right after dinner,â Tommy replied, a smirk beginning to play at the corners of his mouth, his eyes narrowing with that look of brotherly mischief. âAnd how was Sienna?â
Joel rolled his eyes, leaning back in the chair, shaking his head as if he could shake off the whole conversation.
âAre you staying over?â he asked after a few beats, redirecting, his voice carefully casual.
Tommy chuckled. âOnly if you, sir, will permit me,â he replied with a mock salute.
âFine,â Joel muttered, getting up from his seat. âDo what you want, but donât be a pain in my ass,â he added, half-serious, half-amused, as he walked over to the counter beside his brother.
He pulled open the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water. Tommy watched him, saying nothing, but his gaze lingered, curious, perceptive. Joel poured water into a glass, bringing it to his lips, pausing for a long drink before turning to face his brother. He could feel Tommyâs gaze boring into him, the silence thickening between them.
Joel looked up, his own gaze steady.
âWhat?â he asked, the word flat, all pretense of patience gone.
âNothing,â Tommy said, drawing the word out, clearly testing the limits of Joelâs patience. Then, almost too casually, he tilted his chin toward a box resting by the wall across the kitchen.
Joel followed his gaze, his brow furrowing as he walked over. He lifted the box, feeling the weight of it in his hands, then set it down on the counter. With a cautious look at Tommy, he placed his hands on the lid, hesitating.
âWhatâs this?â he asked, a note of suspicion in his voice.
Tommy leaned back, watching him with a faint smile playing at the edges of his mouth.
âYour girl next door gave it to me,â he replied, each word almost too measured. âSaid it was yours.â
For a few moments, Joel just stood there, as if frozen, processing Tommyâs words. He looked down, finally lifting the lid and peering inside. There, neatly folded, was his sweatshirtâthe one heâd handed you one chilly evening when he picked you up from work. Beneath that was his old Pearl Jam t-shirt, the one youâd borrowed after a swim in his pool last summer. His favorite coffee mug sat tucked in the corner, along with a few CDs, a dog-eared paperback heâd loaned you weeks ago. Each item seemed to carry its own little echo of the time heâd spent with you.
After a few seconds, Joel placed the lid back on the box, sliding it away from him with a muted thud. He kept his expression steady, but his jaw was set, and his eyes remained fixed on the counter.
âWhen did she give it to you?â he asked, his voice strained but steady.
âA few moments ago,â Tommy said with a shrug, holding back a smirk as he noticed the tightness in Joelâs expression. âSaw her walking back from Dunnâs house, actually.â
Joel let out a dry, sardonic laugh, a smile twisted in disbelief. "Right. Of course."
"Actually," Tommy said, savoring another spoonful of ice cream, "he walked her to the door, all sweet-like. Gave her the whole mushy goodnight routineâkiss, movie shit." His gaze stayed fixed on the bowl, though Joel could see the glint of mischief there, Tommy barely holding back a grin.
Joelâs fingers drummed on the counter, his gaze hardening. âGood for her,â he muttered.
Tommy didnât look up, just continued with his ice cream, though there was a glint of amusement in his eyes. âSure she looked that way to me.â
âLike I care,â Joel muttered, his gaze fixed hard on the box beside him, fingers curling against the edge as if steadying himself. âI can bet everything Iâve got she doesnât even like him that much. That guy isnât worth it, and she knows it.âÂ
Tommyâs mouth quirked with amusement as he leaned back against the counter.
âToo bad thatâs not up to you,â he said, casually pushing Joelâs buttons, almost like he enjoyed watching his brotherâs patience fray. âShe looked happy. And for what itâs worth, in her own words, she does like him.âÂ
Joelâs frown deepened, his eyes narrowing as he glared at Tommy, as if by sheer force he could undo his brotherâs last statement. âWaitâyou asked her? Tommy, you better not be going aroundââÂ
âRelax,â Tommy cut in, hands raised in mock surrender, though there was still a hint of smugness in his expression. âWe just had a small conversation, okay? Didnât even mention you.âÂ
Joel let out a sharp, bitter laugh, though his face betrayed a flicker of something raw. His fingers tapped the box, restless and resentful, as if it were the boxâs fault for bringing up everything he didnât want to admit. Then, his voice low and clipped, he gestured to the countertop. âClean this up when youâre done,â he said, his tone rough. âAnd donât piss me off.âÂ
Without another word, Joel turned on his heel and headed for the stairs, each step heavy and quick, like he couldnât get away fast enough. The tension in his back, the way his shoulders held too much weight, said enough. Who did Tommy think he was, coming in here with all that, telling him things he didnât need to hear? He didnât care about any of it. As far as he was concerned, you could date Travis, marry him if thatâs what you wanted. None of it mattered to him.Â
But as he climbed the stairs two at a time, his mind raced against his will. Youâd been clear, hadnât you? You didnât want him in your life. No friendship, no connection, nothing. The words echoed, hollow and yet heavy. And as he reached the top of the stairs, he wondered how many more nights heâd have to wrestle with that idea, struggling to wrap his head around a life where you were nothing more than a memory he had to stop revisiting.
The sooner he accepted it, the easier it would be to see you with Travis, to manage the surge of irritation at the thought of his hands on you, to ignore the image of his arm slung casually around your shoulders. If he could accept itâif he did accept itâit would get easier, right? At least thatâs what he told himself. He didnât care. Obviously, he didnât care.
He didnât care that youâd decided to shut him out. Didnât care that you were so resolute about it, that you barely seemed to miss him. He certainly didnât care that heâd rearranged his mornings and evenings so he wouldnât have to see you by accident. It wasnât as if he still glanced at your door every time he came home, half-hoping heâd see you there, offering a smile and some easy excuse to stay. No, he wasnât dwelling on how long it had been since heâd heard your voice or felt the comfortable warmth of your hand against his. Nearly a month now. And he was perfectly fine with it, honestly. It didnât bother him one bit.
So fine, in fact, that he ended things with Sienna over dinner without a momentâs hesitation. Her face had gone blank with surprise, but heâd brushed it off, even throwing in some lie about being âtoo busyâ to make it work, anything to avoid her prying questions. Sheâd looked at him, confused but oddly resigned, as if sheâd sensed his mind had been elsewhere for a while. He didn't care, he was fine with it.
But later that night,Travis Dunn had brought you to your doorâwalked you up, murmured something as he leaned close, maybe kissed you goodnight. Joel didnât know the details, but the image of it burned into his mind anyway. He sat in his room alone, a bitter laugh escaping his throat, mocking himself for how easily heâd let the thought take root. You, wrapped up with Dunn. Pf.
In the darkness of his bedroom, Joel sat on the edge of his bed, looking at the empty space beside him, the silence amplifying every unspoken word, every unfulfilled touch. He was fine with it. Of course he was. He repeated it in his mind, willing himself to believe it, even as a hollow ache throbbed in his chest.
And as if the universe were doubling down on the irony, that night he dreamed of you.

The heavy wooden door creaked as it swung shut behind you, sealing out the bitter November wind with a low groan. Inside, the warm glow of amber lights bathed the room, casting long shadows over the oak bar and a few worn leather stools scattered around it. The air was thick with the scent of aged whiskey and a faint hint of wood smoke. A couple of locals sat quietly at a table near the back, their low voices blending with the soft hum of an old jukebox playing a slow, bluesy tune.
âThank God,â you muttered, the dayâs tension melting from your face as the warm air settled around you. You let your head roll back, savoring the first reprieve from the cold. The chill that had reddened your cheeks and numbed your fingers slowly eased, the warmth brushing over your skin.
Winter was settling into Windermere, and youâd never gotten used to it. Your parents found a strange charm in the grey skies and biting winds, bundling up and going about their routines. But for you, it felt suffocating. Each year, November swept in like an unwelcome guest, forcing the town to become even smaller, with people huddled indoors, glancing suspiciously at anyone passing by.
The town seemed cloaked in silence, broken only by the crackle of fires and the crunch of frozen leaves underfoot. It was a season that left no room for secrets, not when every movement was magnified in the stillness. With everyone tucked away, the chances of slipping by unnoticed were slim, forcing your teenage rebellion to thrive in only the rarest pockets of solitude, under the cover of long, dark nights.
âPlease, just something hot,â you said, voice weary as you rubbed your hands together, trying to coax warmth back into them.
The bartender eyed you for a moment, one eyebrow raised in amusement as he planted his hands on the bar.
âDidnât think Iâd be seeing you,â he mused, reaching down to grab another glass.
Your head snapped up so quickly that your neck clicked, and you rubbed the sore spot as a frown knit your brow. Youâd recognize that voice anywhere. He was older, scruffier, and somehow more devastatingly handsome than the last time youâd seen him. You blinked a few times, half-expecting him to be some kind of apparition conjured by the cold. But he was real. Your Harry was really standing in front of you, in the last place youâd ever thought youâd find him.
âI didnât- I tried to find you,â you stammered, your voice catching as your gaze drifted over him.
He was taller now, his once-wild curls a little more tamed. Those same green eyes that seemed to cut straight through into your soul. His sweater clung just enough to his arms to hint at the strength beneath, and tattoos traced up both arms in intricate, dark patterns, curling from his wrists to disappear under the fabric, each one telling a story of the years he'd spent without you.
The decade youâd missed was written across him in lines and ink, yet somehow, seeing him now made you feel like that eighteen-year-old again, waiting for her best friend to realize he loved her too.
âIf youâd looked hard enough, you would have,â Harry muttered, his eyes trailing over your face, taking in the flush of cold still lingering on your cheeks. Your lips pressed into a tight line as you dropped your gaze to the worn wood of the bar. You couldnât tell him that you hadnât found him because you hadnât wanted to.
He was a reminder of a version of yourself youâd left behind - a girl who thought she had to earn love instead of knowing she deserved it.
He stood there, still holding the empty glass, his gaze traveling over every inch of you he could see. His eyes lingered on your hands for a moment, his expression hardening before he turned away.
Even through his sweater, you could see his back muscles tense, a reminder of just how much had changed. The unmistakable clink of ice hitting glass sent an involuntary chill down your spine, though you blamed it on the cold draft from the door. But deep down, you knew it was Harryâs presence that stirred something old and haunting within you.
He turned back to you after a few minutes, setting a mug of hot cocoa down in front of you. His hand was steady, but there was an unmistakable tension in his shoulders as he slid the glass toward you.
"Exactly how we used to have it. On the house," he said, voice low, eyes flicking briefly to meet yours before returning to a spot just over your shoulder. You hesitated, your fingers wrapping around the glass, the warmth dancing across your skin.
âChrist. Thanks,â you murmured, taking a sip. The burn of whiskey flooded your throat, a welcome contrast to the chill that had settled deep in your bones.
He still didnât say anything, didnât ask what youâd been doing all these years. Didnât ask why youâd come back. There was a time when you were sure heâd have asked, a time when he would have read every expression, every flicker in your eyes as easily as a page in a book. But now, the silence stretched between you, thick and heavy, woven from years of things left unsaid.
"Heard you were getting married,â Harry said finally, his voice barely more than a whisper, as if he wasnât sure he wanted you to hear. The words were hesitant, almost vulnerable, but his eyes had a guarded edge, as if they were holding back an ocean of questions. He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly, almost as if to steady himself.
âNot anymore,â you told him with a soft shake of your head, your voice barely carrying over the soft hum of the jukebox. You couldnât help the way your eyes drifted over him, noting the subtle lines at the corners of his eyes, the quiet weight he seemed to carry now, like shadows that hadnât been there before. He was still Harry - but this version of him was one you didnât know. Or maybe it was you who didnât know herself anymore.
âSorry.â
âI didnât know you stayed here, Harry.â
It was true. You didnât know anything about him. Youâd never asked your parents, though they would definitely be privy to what was going on in his life. They knew that whatever had or hadnât happened between the two of you had contributed to the way you left, so they had made no attempt to keep you updated.
âI didnât. Came back for my grandmaâs funeral and the pub was about to be sold to a chain but no one could afford to take it on. So I did,â he shrugged, his eyes dropping to his feet as he spoke.
You sat back a little, memories of afternoons spent at this very pub flooding your mind. Trying to sneak notes out of the tip jar, Harry coercing his grandma to pass you both shots. âShe loved it here,â you whispered, a soft smile on your lips as you traced a finger along the bar. âI had no idea she passed Harry. Iâm so sorry.â
âForty years of her life behind this bar,â Harry nodded solemnly, his jaw tense. âI couldnât let it go.â
There was a glimmer of the Harry you knew when he said that. It was the part of him that first drew you in. He was cheeky, stubborn, but his loyalty to his family was unmatched. Beneath the external rebellion, he was sentimental and kind, the first to fiercely defend any of his loved ones, the last to leave one behind.
You had no idea how youâd ended up so disconnected from him. Youâd only spent five minutes in his presence, but it felt like the first five minutes youâd ever spent with him.
For a few moments, neither of you spoke. The silence was loaded, more meaningful than any small talk you could have tried to fill it with. It felt as though one wrong word would break whatever fragile truce had settled between you.
Finally, Harry sighed, leaning his forearms against the bar, hands fidgeting with a bottle cap, rolling it over and over between his fingers.
âYou left,â he said softly, as if the words themselves had been weighing him down. âAnd I waited, you know? For a while. I thought youâd come back. And then, when you didnâtâŠâ He trailed off, shaking his head.
There was a long pause, each word sinking heavily in the quiet room, reverberating through you. You felt a pang of guilt - maybe shame - at hearing his side of it laid bare, the rawness in his voice making it hard to breathe.
âI didnât know how to exist here,â you replied, your voice barely above a whisper. The words felt flimsy, inadequate, but they were all you had. âI needed to figure out how to do it on my own.â
âAnd did you?â he asked, something sharp and almost accusing in his tone.
You hesitated, because you werenât sure how to answer that. Had you? The years had passed, but you werenât sure youâd changed as much as you thought you would. Youâd found your independence, learned to stand on your own - but there was still a part of you that had never let him go, that had held onto the version of Harry youâd left behind.
âI donât know,â you said finally, the words tasting bitter. âI thought being back here would answer that for me.â
You turned away from him, your heart pounding as you glanced around the pub, taking it in. âItâs changed a lot in here,â you mumbled, never feeling less at home than you did in that moment.
âThe whole town has changed.â Harry shrugged, his jaw tense as his eyes followed yours.
The atmosphere had shifted when you turned back to face him, an unmistakable tension settling between you. Harryâs gaze was hard, guarded and defensive, like he was bracing himself against something.
âThatâs not a good reason to leave.â
âWhat?â
âThatâs not a good reason to leave,â he repeated, arms folding over his chest. âAre you staying?â
âFor now.â
âYou hurt a lot of people,â he continued, his tone harsh, bitterness dripping from each word.
âI spent my entire teenage years thinking about everyone else. Selfishness isnât a crime,â you shot back, pushing your empty mug towards him.
âItâs not. But that doesnât stop it hurting people.â
You narrowed your eyes, leaning your forearms against the bar. âPeople, or you?â
Harry looked past you at the last patrons filing out, circling around the bar to see them out and lock the door behind them. The silence was thick, stretching through the distance between you.
âPeople,â he answered finally, those green eyes not quite meeting yours. How had it gotten to a point where you openly lied to each other? A tiny part of you thought that if you ever crossed paths again, youâd fall into your old routine, Harry with the cheeky grin and bad ideas, you with the doe eyes and willingness to follow his every move.
âIâll get out of your hair,â you mumbled, pushing yourself off the stool.
âNo.â
âWhat?â
âNo.â Harry stalked back to the bar, a heavy hand slamming a bottle of whiskey down in front of you. âHave a drink with me, and tell me the truth. You owe me that much.â
You swallowed hard, your body tensing as he sat down next to you. âThe truth?â
âWhatever was so bad that you had to leave without even saying goodbye.â His eyes were dark as you looked up at him, his fingers drumming against the bar.
âItâs not even important anymore,â you sighed, feeling the lie settle heavy in your chest. You took a swig of the whiskey, shivering as the heat slipped down your throat, trying to steady yourself. But he was watching you too closely, reading you like an open book. Before you could react, he tugged the bottle from your hands, his chin dropping to his chest.
"Pull the other one," he said, voice low. "Whatever happened kept you away for a decade. Did someone hurt you?"
You almost laughed, bitter and tired. He was looking at you now, his gaze sharp and searching, like he was ready to drag the truth out of you no matter what it cost. But you were lost in your own head, your eyes tracing the tattoos winding down his forearms, lingering on the familiar lines and symbols. He was exactly the man you had always imagined heâd become - steady, solid, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. But you had never expected to see it like this, up close, with your own eyes.
You reached for the whiskey, snatching it back from him and knocking it back with a grimace. âIt was you, Harry.â The words slipped out before you could stop them, raw and unguarded. âFuck. I realized Iâd put my whole life on hold, waiting for you to notice me.â
He froze, his hand suspended in the air, and for a second, there was no sound but the creak of the barstool as he shifted, the slow tick of the clock on the wall. He scratched his head, his eyes falling shut as your words sank in. You could see him wrestling with it, with everything that had been left unsaid all these years.
âAnd running away was better than just telling me?â His voice was softer now, hurt creeping into the edges, and it made something twist painfully in your chest.
You shook your head, feeling a thousand things you could never say. âHow was I supposed to tell you? Hi, Harry, my good friend, I love you, and Iâm about to devote my life to you.â
âSomething like that,â he muttered, a faint, bitter smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He ran a hand through his hair, shoulders slumping as he finally met your eyes. The silence stretched again, thick with years of missed chances and the weight of what couldâve been.
You both sat there, lost in the quiet. It felt fragile, this moment, like the whole world could split open with one wrong word.
âIt wasnât just that,â you muttered, watching your feet swinging under the stool. âI couldnât exist here anymore. It gets to a point where itâs suffocating.â
âBut you really couldnât just tell me?â
You met his gaze, feeling the warmth rise to your cheeks, your face hot with the blush that spread across your skin. His dark eyes held you, unblinking, and the weight of everything unspoken made your heart pound. He leaned forward, the faintest crease appearing between his brows, as if he was bracing himself for something heâd waited too long to hear. You tried to look away, tried to hide the vulnerability in your expression, but his gaze was unrelenting, drawing the words out of you.
âI donât wanna talk about it anymore,â you said, voice tight with restraint. You tried to keep your tone casual, but you could feel the way it trembled, betraying you.
âWhy?â he asked, leaning closer, his face serious. His jaw clenched, a flicker of frustration in his eyes that he tried to temper. It was like he already knew what you were going to say, yet he needed to hear it from you, needed confirmation for the ache that had been buried under years of silence.
You took a shaky breath, steeling yourself. âItâs embarrassing, H.â Your eyes darted away, unable to face the intensity of his gaze. âI changed my whole life because of a crush. I moved somewhere where no one knew me because I was scared of everyone here knowing me too well. I got engaged to the first man I properly loved, and he still didnât match up to you.â
Harryâs face softened, but he looked pained, his lips parting as though to speak. The vulnerability in his expression was raw, his shoulders stiffened with all the things he had wanted to say, to ask. But when he reached for you, you placed a hand over his, silencing him for a little while longer.
âI thought about you every day for ten years,â you said, feeling the words tear from your throat, your eyes bright with unspilled tears. âAnd now weâre just sitting here like strangers. Do you get that?â
He let out a bitter laugh, a rough, quiet sound that cut through the stillness. He leaned forward, elbows braced against the bar as if he needed the support to hold himself together. âDo I get it?â he repeated, his voice low and raw, his brows drawn in with years of buried pain. âIâve lived the same ten years as you, except I didnât get the privilege of knowing where the fuck you went or why.â
He looked down at your hand over his, and his fingers slowly closed around yours, his grip warm and strong. He was still, tension held tight in the curve of his shoulders, in the soft way his thumb brushed against the back of your hand, as if afraid the moment might slip away. He shifted closer, the space between you shrinking, and his other hand rose slowly to your face, cupping your cheek, his thumb grazing your skin.
âWhat the hell are you doing?â you whispered, breath catching in your throat. You could feel your pulse quicken, every nerve alight with the nearness of him, with the intensity in his eyes, softening into something tender, something hesitant and aching.
âWhat I shouldâve done years ago,â he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.
He leaned in, his eyes searching yours until the last second, like he was giving you a chance to pull away, to stop him. But you didnât. His lips met yours, hesitant and gentle, as though he were savoring every second, every taste. You could feel him melt into the kiss, his hand sliding to the back of your neck, pulling you closer. The moment you kissed him back, he exhaled against you, letting go of some tightly held breath, and the kiss deepened, grew more urgent. His hands moved down to your waist, strong and steady, pulling you closer against him. You could feel the heat between you, the years of longing pouring into this single kiss.
When he finally pulled away, his breaths came rough and shallow. Without a word, he tugged his sweater over his head, baring his skin, the tattoos winding over his chest and arms like stories youâd never gotten to read. Your fingers traced along them, the tip of your nail gliding over the ink, and you could feel his pulse quicken under your touch.
He smiled faintly, but his expression grew serious again as he leaned down, brushing his lips along the curve of your neck, his breath warm against your skin. His arms wrapped around you, his hands sliding down to your hips, lifting you up onto the bar with ease. You gasped softly, instinctively wrapping your legs around his waist as he tugged your skirt up, his gaze holding yours with an intensity that made your heart race.
In that moment, you were no longer strangers. His face softened, his eyes warm and almost reverent as he looked at you, a quiet promise in his touch that maybe, finally, there was nothing left between you but the truth.
Harryâs mouth found your inner thigh, his teeth clamping down on the sensitive skin. âThatâs for leaving me behind,â he murmured, his breath warm against the sting. He moved to the other one, his teeth nipping at you for a second time. âAnd thatâs for making me wait a fucking decade.â
Your breath comes out in shallow moans, your hands planted on his shoulders. That damn butterfly tattoo, the one heâd always told you he would get, almost taking flight as he pants against you, his eyes darkened with lust.
He leaned in closer to your core as you widened your legs, his nose nudging against the wet spot on your panties.
âTen fucking years,â he repeated, his voice husky. He looked up at you with a plea in his eyes, waiting for you to allow or deny his next move.
âPlease,â you whispered, your hips bucking against him as he reached out, pulling your panties aside with a quick hand.
Your gaze landed on the window, the dim lights practically inviting passers-by to peep inside and catch you in the act. But when Harryâs mouth found your slick, you couldnât bring yourself to care, for the first time in your life - whether you became the town gossip or not.
His movements were rough and unrelenting, his fingers spreading you open as his tongue flicked against your clit, appreciative murmurs vibrating against your skin.
As if he could read your mind, his thumb took over the pressure on your clit, rubbing circles against the nerves as you writhed. His tongue licked at your slick with an intensity youâd never know before, his free hand slipping under your jumper to grip at the curve of your waist. Tingles spread from his touch, the lust taking over your body as pressure built in your core.
Without warning, Harry pulled away, pulling your legs around his waist as he stood up. A needy whine fell from your lips as your high dissipated, the soft skin of his abs rubbing against your entrance.
âYou made me wait. You canât handle it now?â he murmured, his lips warm against your neck, the whiskey still hot on his breath.
He took the stairs two at a time, the ancient wood creaking under his feet. You looked around the apartment as Harry weaved through the dark, brushing against tables and knocking over a stray glass, too focused to care. The room smelled faintly of him - whiskey, smoke, and that earthy, familiar scent you couldnât place. It was messy, cluttered with books and clothes, but your heart warmed with an odd sense of belonging the moment you crossed the threshold. Your clothes came off at some point during the journey, a trail of knits and underwear reminiscent of Hansel and Gretelâs, but one that would only lead you to the person you were before you knew how it felt to be fucked by Harry Styles.
He stumbled slightly, caught himself, and half-laughed, his hands steady on you as he dropped you onto the bed. You landed with a gentle bounce, your heart racing, heat building in your chest. You needed to pinch yourself in case it was all a sick dream. All those days of stolen glances and lingering touches that meant nothing and everything, all those years wondering where he was and what lucky woman hadnât run away from him.
For all those years, youâd told yourself he was stuck in your head because of the what ifs. What if you stayed, what if youâd forged a life together, what if you hadnât acted on hormone-driven impulses.
Harry was intense, magnetic in a way that made it impossible to look away, but the idea of actually being with him had always felt like a distant dream. And yet, there he was, breathing ragged and close, his weight settling beside you, hands resting on either side of your head as he held you in place with a gaze that felt as if it could unravel you.
âYou really want this, donât you?â he asked, voice low and edged with that same maddening confidence that had drawn you to him in the first place. His tone was challenging, almost taunting, but there was something vulnerable lurking in his eyes.
You took a breath, feeling a knot in your chest loosen as you nodded, your voice barely above a whisper. âAlways have.â
His smirk softened for a moment, something unreadable flickering across his face, and you could sense the weight of all the things heâd never said hanging thick in the air. He leaned down, pressing his lips to yours, and this time, there was nothing held back - no restraint, no hesitation. Just an undeniable pull between you, finally given permission to break free.
âOne condition,â Harry rasped, leaning down to press kisses across your bare chest. âWhen you leave, you keep in contact this time.â
âI will, Harry. I swear. If I leave,â you grinned up at him, your nails scratching at the base of his head.
A low chuckle escaped his lips as he traced a path down to your collarbone, his breath warm against your skin. âIf?â he murmured, his voice thick with a mix of amusement and disbelief. He pulled back slightly, catching your gaze with a look that was both playful and deadly serious. âIâm not planning on giving you a reason to run.â
You felt the weight of his words, the lost time between you settling heavy in the air. He wasnât going to make it easy.
âI wonât this time, I promise,â you whispered, fingers tightening around his neck, pulling his lips to yours, praying your kiss would convey how deeply sure you were.
Harry looked at you for a long moment when he pulled away, studying your face as if trying to memorize every detail, as though he wasnât sure youâd really stay.
His eyes dropped to your tits as he reached down to stroke his cock, pulling his lower lip into his mouth as his thumb grazed over the wet slit.
You pawed at him impatiently, biting back the whimpers that threatened to spill out of you as he lined himself up at your entrance with one last look into your eyes.
You felt your life altering in front of you, your trajectory changing to what it couldâve been a decade before, fate pulling you and Harry back onto the same path, the one your shouldâve always been on.
But when he pushed himself into you, that familiar pressure tinged with pain, the feeling of being filled like his cock was the missing fucking piece - your mind was clear. You wrapped yourself around him, your body fighting to be as close to him as possible, your moans syncing to his thrusts.
âHarry,â you whimpered, mouth falling open as his free hand found your clit again, drawing your body back to how close it had been to climax.
âI know, baby girl. I know,â he rasped, his voice strained as he fucked into you, his thumb unrelenting as it worked at your bud, his strong body overpowering yours.
Your hips bucked into him, your legs starting to quiver around his waist as you writhed and jerked, your moans mixing with the deafening slaps of skin-on-skin contact.
âItâs mine, this is mine,â Harry growled, his possession tipping you over the edge. His. That was all youâd ever wanted to be.
Your orgasm came on strong, your body tingling and tensing from your head to your toes, your fingers clamping around his shoulders, your back arched into his chest.
Your walls were fluttering around him, your pussy desperate to milk him for all he had.
His thrusts grew sloppier, his control slipping as he stared down at you, committing the image of your high to memory, the first thing heâd want his mind to see when he woke, the last thing heâd see before sleeping. His hand slipped under you to the curve of your ass, angling your hips to allow him deeper, his cock hitting spaces you didnât even know you had.
âThis is just the warm up,â he grunted, pulling his cock from you at the last minute, his come spilling onto your chest, your lips curling into a smirk.
âI think thereâll be plenty more of that,â you whispered, pulling his lips back onto yours, barely unable to kiss him with the smile tugging at the corners of your lips.
mehhh i donât know about this one ⊠but ive been itching to post something đđŒđđŒđ„č

Sharing Can in Fact Lead to Caring
Sometimes Billy doesnât need Solomon. Sometimes, Billy just says whatever that comes off the top of his head, it can be surprisingly helpful at times. (Billy doesnât realize most of them are just coming to their dad figure for advice)
Such as the time Wonder Woman came to him concerned about time dilation. When Solomon explained what that meant, he had a pretty good idea of what she was talking about. Basically, she was worried about the afterword of the Justice League and her friends and how she would outlive them all. He brought her ice cream and they talked it out. In a way, he supposed he understood her. Billy couldnât remember his mom or dadâs faces or personalities. He only had Captain Marvel to go off of and he guesses Mary, but she looks more like a young version of their mom. In the end, after much talking and trying to show he understands her worries, she seemed to be doing better.
Then, there was a talk with Jâonn. The Martian had confided in not feeling at home with the humans. Not that he blamed him. Jâonn had lost his home. So, Billy talked with him. Again, sort of relating. The way the Martian described missing his planet, reminded Billy of how heâd missed his parents. By the end of the talk, the Martian seemed to feel a little lighter after it.
Then, there was this kid.
Little Girl: *sitting on a bench alone*
Marvel: âHey there, miss. Where are your parents?â
Little Girl: *stares* âThere not here.â
Marvel: âWhyâs that?â *sits down next to her*
Little Girl: *shrugs*
Marvel: âWell, then do you have any guardians?â
Little Girl: âI think so, but I donât really like her. Sheâs mean. I donât think she likes me or my foster siblings.â
Marvel: âOh? Youâre from foster care?â
Little Girl: *hesitantly nods head*
Marvel: âAnd Iâm guessing you ran away?â
Little Girl: *nods again* âAre you going to tell on me?â
Marvel: âNo. I ran away from my foster homes all the time.â *shrugs, doesnât know why heâs saying this but might as well go with it*
Little Girl: âYou did?â
Marvel: âYeah. They were all terrible. And the ones that werenât terrible were just neglectful.â
Little Girl: âWhat does neglectful mean?â
Marvel: âIt means not paying attention to something. Like for example, I had this foster parent who would go days without coming home, leaving me and the other kids to have to feed ourselves. She wasnât paying attention to us or our needs.â
Little Girl: âThatâs sad.â
Marvel: âYeah, it is. So, why did you run away from your foster home?â
Little Girl: âThe lady who adopted me throws stuff when she gets mad. Sheâs mad a lot.â
Marvel: âThat sucks. I had a foster home like that too. He would throw a bottles, forks, books, whatever he could get his hands on.â
Little Girl: âYou did? Did you think it was scary?â
Marvel: âYeah.â
*silence*
Marvel: âYou know, a friend of mine got adopted recently.â
Little Girl: âReally?â
Marvel: âYeah, heâs been with them for about half a year now. He says theyâre great. Theyâve been fostering kids for a while apparently too.â
Little Girl: âThat sounds nice.â
Marvel: âIt is. Do you want me to ask about it?â
Little Girl: âHuh?â
Marvel: âDo you want me to ask him if thereâs any spots open?â
Little Girl: *stares for a bit* âYeah.â *stomach growls*
Marvel: âAlright, then I will. Now, how long have you been on the streets?â
Little Girl: âOh uhm⊠a couple days.â
Marvel: âCome on, letâs get you something to eat.â *stands up*
Little Girl: âReally?â *hops off the bench*
Marvel: âYeah. You feeling chili dogs or tacos? Those are the only two vendors I know thatâll give me something free.â
Little Girl: âTacos, please.â
Marvel: âAlright then- uh, my bad. I never asked your name?â
Little Girl: âOh uhm itâs Darla.â
Marvel: âDarla? Alright then Darla.â *fatherly ahh smile* âLetâs go get you some food, âkay?â
So ya. He met Darla. Sheâs a sweet kid. He would need to ask Freddy more about the Vazquez situation. Hopefully, just hopefully, they could squeeze the little girl into their family.
Also, uh⊠I guess in this AU, Freddy met the Vazquez and got adopted because he went back into foster care for a bit for whatever reason. There, he got adopted into the family. Darla joins after him for this post to work.

Bite Me, Suck Me, Stake Me!
àȘâ⎠Vampire & Hunter : Day 29
feat. Simon "Ghost" Riley áŻâ
Ghost is a skilled vampire hunter, but you're an even better vampire. Too bad you haven't convinced him to let you take a little bite out of him yet...
warnings! : NSFW 18+, fingering, degradation, name-calling, semi-public sex, hate sex, choking, biting, cum eating, blood play, blood as lube
áŻâ
kinktober m.list || read on ao3
âFound you.â
The cool silver of a knife digs into the skin of your neck, as a familiar gravelly voice rings out from behind you in the alleyway.
âGhost.â You smirk, remaining calm. âWhat a surprise,â you say sarcastically. You and Ghost have been constantly going back and forth with each other ever since he started hunting vampires in your area. Itâs like a game at this point. You hunt for food, he chases after you, you run.
You know you can kill him with ease if you so please, but he dicks you down so nicely that you let him slide just for that.Â
The sharp tip of a wooden stake digs into your back as Ghost presses himself against you. âNo sudden moves or I stake you where you stand, vamp.â
He spits out the words with venom, but you know it means naught.
âJust like you promised me last time? And the time before that, and before that, andââ
A grunt sounds from the vampire hunter as the stake digs itself further into your back, interrupting your teasing words. You bite your lip to prevent the hiss of pain from rolling off of your lips.
âNot this time. Price is on my ass now. Canât have any more screw-ups happening under my watch.â He leans in closer to you, his hot breath a stark contrast to your cool skin as it hits your cheek. âAnd it seems like youâve been causing more and more trouble these days. More than I can afford.â
âHow else am I supposed to get your attention?â you drawl out, running a hand up his muscular, tattooed arm. You feel the way he clenches from your touch, his veins pulsing as the blood rushes in his body. You lick your lips, running your tongue over your exposed fangs. With your free hand, you flick his hood off of his head, getting a look at his beady, intense eyes as they stare you down.
âI missed you,â you say, running a hand down his front, reaching down to grab his bulge. âAnd I missed him, too.â
âFucking tease,â he hisses, but you can tell heâs getting all riled up by the way his cock throbs in your hand, hardening as the seconds pass by. You begin to fondle him, rubbing his member through his pants as you feel yourself getting wet.
âSuch a slut.â Simonâs voice comes out in a growl. The weapons he holds against you are swiftly put away as one hand nestles itself against the back of your neck while the other pushes your pants and underwear down, two digits already fingering at your wet slit. âCausing trouble just to get my attention? Didnât take you to be such a brat.â
You grumble at the hand that restricts your head movements. Simon is smartâno doubt that he knew you were planning to bite him. Unlike other vampires, you did have some self-control when it came to biting humans, but there was something about the vampire hunter who constantly chased you that enraptured you, desperate to get a taste of the blood pumping through his veins.
âNeed you to fuck me,â you tell him bluntly. You attempt to move out of his hold, but Simon has an iron-locked grip on you as he sticks his fingers inside of you. A piercing cry leaves your lips as his fingers curl and thrust inside of you, your wetness allowing him to move them with ease.
âShit, look at you. Barely even touched you and you're already begging for my cock.â
You only respond with a moan; Simon chuckles as he removes his fingers, and you hear the clink of his belt buckle as he undoes his pants and pulls his cock out.
It only takes a couple of seconds for Simon to align his cock with your entrance and push himself in, the familiar stretch of his member filling you up so nicely, complete in a way youâve never felt before.
âFuuuck,â you moan, your eyes rolling into the back of your head. Your body starts to go limp as Simon thrusts his cock in and out of you with reckless abandon, the clapping of his skin to yours loud enough that you think if someone walks past the alleyway youâre in theyâd hear it before they see you.
You yelp as the heat of Simonâs palm meets your ass, snapping your thoughts back to the present, to the pleasure he gives you.
âFocus on me.â His grip tightens around your neck, his hand wide enough to reach around towards the front of it, pressing down hard enough to make your body feel all tingly. His thrusts are relentless, your body powerless to him as he manipulates you to his heart's desire.
âL-let me bite you,â you breathe out, thrashing your head around before Simon stills you. âJust a taste,â your voice trails off, more pathetic sounding than you intended.
Simon snorts. âIâm not letting a vamp bite me.â He ruts his hips against you, his cock filling you to its hilt. âEspecially one as reckless as you.â
He ignores your whines of complaint, holding you still with one hand as he fucks up into you, caging you in as his other hand steadies himself against the brick wall.
But yet as Simon becomes distracted with his thrusts, the tightness of his hold on you lessens. You take that as your cue to escape from his grip. The aroused state youâre both in has your senses heightened to the fullest. You can practically hear the blood flowing in his body, the strength of it intensified with the adrenaline that course through his veins as he fucks you.Â
You donât even take a second to think as you sink your fangs into the arm thatâs stretched out next to you, a moan escaping as you taste Simonâs sweet, sweet blood for the first time.
âFuck!â Simon rips his arm away from your bite with a yelp. You gasp as his cock leaves your body as he turns you around, shoving you against the wall, restraining you with a hand around your throat. He squeezes down with the bitten arm, blood flowing from it down towards his fingertips. You laugh as much as you can with your airflow restricted, fangs dripping with his blood. You lick some of it that dribbles out of the corner of your lips, staring teasingly up at Simon through your lashes as you do so.
âFucking bitch,â Simon growls, teeth practically snarling as he stares you down with malice. âShould fucking stake you for that!â
âYou like my cunt too much to do that,â you purr, your arousal heightened more than ever as youâre invigorated by the taste of human bloodâhuman blood that actually tastes good. You open up your legs, baring your sopping cunt to him, bucking your hips up.
As Simon squeezes down on your neck, his flowing blood trickles its way closer and closer to you. Your pupils dilate as you see the stream of red finally get into your reach, licking as much of it as you can up. You didnât want to waste a drop if you didnât have to.
âYou want my blood that badly?â Simon takes a swipe at his bleeding arm, coating his palm in the liquid. He pumps his cock one, two, three times and then shoves it back into you, blood and all. âYou can fucking take it like a slut, then.â
Your world turns white as your body fills with immense pleasure as he buries himself into you. He gives you no time to adjust to his size as he begins to thrust wildly. You moan, digging your nails into his skin for stability.
âCareful, big boy,â you start, arousal dripping off of your words, âI might just get addicted to you now.â
âSeems like you already are with the way youâre clenching around me like that.â
You donât have the strength to answer Simon, the taste of his blood still in your mouth along with the way that his cock stretches you completely, jackhammering its way into places you never knew it could reach, has you feeling euphoric. You donât even get a warning yourself as you feel yourself cum suddenly, juices squirting all over yourself and him.
âOh, fuck, oh fuck,â you repeat over and over as your body trembles, jolts of electricity moving their way up and down your limbs as your orgasm hits you like a truck.
The rhythm of Simonâs thrusts begins to dissipate, and with a low grunt warmth fills your cunt as he cums inside of you, the hot liquid filling your throbbing entrance.
He pulls out and finally releases his grip on your neck, causing you to grasp on the wall behind you as your legs still shake relentlessly.
You look down to see his cum spill out of you, dribbling down your thighs, turning a light pink color as it mixes with his blood.
Simon swipes a hand at your slit, puffy and sensitive from the sex. You whine as he does so, seeing the way it coats his fingers, a nice and thick viscosity.
âThisâll be the last time you get a taste of my blood. He takes a hand to your jaw, opening it up as he shoves his blood and cum coated fingers down your throat. âFucking take it.â You slurp on it happily, the sweetness of his blood mixing perfectly with the salty taste of his cum.
âThat should keep you occupied for a while.â He mutters. âAnd me out of trouble for now.â
As you finish licking his fingers clean, Simon pulls his pants up, buckling his belt and throwing his hood back over his head. âNext time we meet will be the last, and itâll end with a stake implanted in your fucking heart.â
You chuckle as he stalks off, disappearing into the night. Youâre not scared of his empty threats. Heâs just as addicted to you as you are to him.

when you go to sleep with them but you don't hug them - RIIZE
ᥣđ© masterlist // genre fluff // pairing bf!riize x reader ᥣđ© req by: my beloved @ladylilith
áŻâ
shotaro Normally, you and Shotaro would fall asleep wrapped in each otherâs armsâeven on the hottest nights, since it just felt comforting to you both. But that day, you were exhausted. Youâd had such a long day that the moment you lay down, you felt too tired to even turn over and hug Shotaro. In truth, it hadnât even crossed your mind. Shotaro noticed, and he decided that this night, heâd be the one to hold you. He moved closer, cuddling up to your back and leaving a gentle kiss on your cheek.
áŻâ
eunseok âNot forgetting something, princess?â Eunseok had gone for a shower before bed, and youâd tried to stay awake, but exhaustion finally got the best of you. Just as you were drifting off, Eunseok returned, whispering close to your ear as your eyes were nearly shut. You turned towards him, wrapping your arms around his torso and nestling into his chest, feeling him leave a kiss on your forehead. âThatâs better.â
áŻâ
sungchan Not a chance. Sleeping without holding you close? That was simply impossible for Sungchan. He loved feeling your arms around his chest while he held you with one of his arms, his head resting on yours. He always said it made him sleep better. That night, though, youâd had a minor argument, and when you got into bed, you decided to turn your back to him. He tried to fall asleep but quickly realized something was missing. Checking to see if you were still awake, he got you to look at him. âI know youâre still a bit upset with me, but honestly, I canât sleep if you donât hold me. So⊠please?â
áŻâ
wonbin You knew how expressive Wonbin could be and how easy it was to tell when something was bothering him or if he was feeling down. While you were lying in bed about to sleep, you could feel Wonbin looking at you several times as you scrolled through your phone. After a few minutes, you decided to look back and found him with a little pout on his lips. âWhatâs wrong, honey? Why are you looking at me like that?â âI want to sleepâŠâ âSo? You donât have to wait for me.â âI do because I need you to hold me, and youâre not doing it.â You couldnât help but smile when you heard him say that. You loved seeing this tender side of Wonbin, so you set your phone down and hugged him, and the two of you fell asleep within minutes.
áŻâ
seunghan Seunghan was speechless seeing you in bed without holding him. Could he even handle it? Not at all. He grabbed you and pulled you closer, making you open your eyes, laughing at his expression as if someone had taken his favorite toy. âWhat are you doing, Seunghan? I just want to sleepâŠâ Without saying a word, he turned you towards him and held you tightly. âNow you can sleep.â
áŻâ
sohee Though it might not seem like it, Sohee loved to hold you while lying in bedâhe loved it even more when you held onto him, letting him run his fingers through your hair until you both fell asleep. That night, just as you were about to sleep, one of your friends video-called, and you spent several minutes talking to her. Sohee lay next to you, waiting patiently for you to finish so you could sleep in each otherâs arms. When the call kept going on and on, he leaned in and whispered in your ear. âI need you to hold me so I can fall asleep, y/nâŠâ You looked at Sohee, surprised. You couldnât believe heâd just asked for something so sweet. Without a second thought, you said goodbye to your friend and wrapped your arms around Soheeâs chest.
áŻâ
anton It was normal for you and Anton to fall asleep holding each other, your arms around his chest and your head resting on his torso. But that night, you lay down and simply turned your back to him, which struck Anton as strange. When he noticed you werenât holding him like you usually did, he touched your shoulder to get your attention. âIs something wrong? We donât usually sleep like thisâŠâ After a few seconds, you understood what he meant. With a small laugh, you turned over and hugged his torso, and he wrapped his arms around you in return.

Thank you to everyone who has read this chapter. Leave a comment and Reblog, please. I'd love to hear your thoughts. â€ïž
When life seems perfect, it often hides a testâa calm before the storm. For Steve, months after Peggyâs death, everything felt whole, secure. His presidency was steady, bolstered by approval from the public and respect from allies. Policies were sailing through Congress, his popularity was soaring, and his vision for the country was unfolding exactly as planned.
But something gnawed at him, an intuition sharpened by years in the military. A storm was comingâhe could feel it.
âMr. President,â Natashaâs voice cut through his thoughts as she entered the office with a stack of documents in her arms.
âYes, Natasha?â
She placed a folder on his desk. âHereâs the speech draft for the press conference announcing your engagement to Miss Hazel,â she said, her tone carefully neutral. âIf anything⊠goes south after the announcement.â
Steve took the folder, scanning the first page with a furrowed brow. He plans to introduce Hazel and Nate to the world. The public would need time to adjust to the news, and if the backlash was harsh, heâd be ready with a statement that cast Hazel in a sympathetic light.
âThank you,â he replied, placing the folder aside.
Just then, the door burst open. An aide stumbled in, looking flushed and frantic. âMr. President, Iâm sorry to interrupt, but you need to see this immediately.â He thrust a tablet onto the desk, his hands shaking slightly as he pressed play.
A news anchor appeared on the screen, her voice grim and insistent. âBreaking news on an international scandal that could shake the nation. Our sources have uncovered what theyâre calling âDeals in the Dark: Inside the Global Conspiracy Threatening Economic Stability.ââ
The words "Steve Rogers" flashed across the screen, and the anchor continued, "Our investigation has linked these troubling deals directly to the highest office in the land.â
Steveâs face blanched. His nameâhis reputationâwas being dragged through the mud in front of the entire country. Rage flared within him as he looked up, his jaw tight. âGet the Vice President in here. Now.â
A tense silence settled over the room as they waited. Moments later, Bucky entered, his expression carefully controlled, his eyes meeting Steveâs with a flash of concern.
âClose the door,â Steve ordered, his voice low and taut.
As the door clicked shut, Bucky stood before him, the weight of the situation hanging between them like a loaded gun. Steveâs hand curled into a fist, his voice barely a whisper but laced with fury. âDid you know about this?â
Bucky looked down, drawing a steadying breath, then met Steveâs piercing gaze. âI knew her was digging into things after her friend died, but⊠I didnât know it would go this far.â He clenched his jaw. âI didnât realize how deep sheâd goâor how reckless sheâd become.â
Steveâs eyes narrowed, a vein throbbing in his temple. âSo youâre telling me you had no idea?â
âNo, I didnât,â Bucky admitted, his voice weighted with regret. âAnd Iâm sorry, Steve. Iâll make this right. If you need a name to take the fall⊠blame me. Iâll shoulder this.â
Steve looked at him, surprised. Here was his Vice Presidentâhis friendâwilling to sacrifice himself to protect him. It would be so easy to accept the offer, to let Bucky take the brunt of the fallout. It would keep Steveâs image intact, and Bucky could be quietly replaced.
But the advantage of having Bucky loyal by his side was too great. âNo,â Steve replied, shaking his head. âThis wasnât your doing. And I need you here, not buried under this scandal.â
Bucky stepped forward, his gaze steady. âItâs alright, Steve. I havenât done much lately as Vice President anyway. Let me take this on. Weâre a team, arenât we? Your problems are mine.â
Steve paused, looking at him, his anger tempered by the loyalty in Buckyâs eyes. âYouâd take this for me?â
âWithout hesitation,â Bucky replied firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Steve exhaled, some of the tension leaving his shoulders. He extended a hand, and Bucky took it, their grips strong, but their shared look even stronger. Then, in a rare moment of mutual trust, Steve pulled him into a fierce, brotherly embrace.
âThank you, Bucky,â he murmured, his voice softened with unspoken gratitude.
As they pulled back, Buckyâs expression was resolute. âWhateverâs coming,â he said, his voice low, âweâre facing it together.â
Steve nodded, his mind racing with strategy and resolve. The scandal might be a blow, but with Bucky at his side, he felt fortified, ready to weather the stormâno matter how dark it threatened to become.
đžđžđžđžđž
With Bucky's promise still fresh in the air, Steve watched as his vice president worked hard to keep issues from flaring up. Bucky stood tall, his confidence showing as he spoke to reporters and citizens, assuring them that their concerns were being handled. But underneath, Steve could sense the tension in Buckyâhis jaw tightened, and worry flickered in his eyes whenever new problems popped up.
Each time one issue seemed to fade, another arose, and it always seemed to lead back to you.
As Steve stood in the Oval Office, the weight of the scandals crashing down around him felt almost suffocating. Illegal domestic surveillance, military manipulation, a nuclear program scandal, and Stark Industries' data misuseâall of it traced back to you. The walls felt like they were closing in as he realized you were the mastermind behind this revelation. Even Bucky was oblivious to the full extent of the details.
He took a deep breath, trying to steady the rising tide of anger and betrayal, and faced you across the room. The tension hung heavy in the air, electric and dangerous. âWhen will you stop?â he demanded, his voice low and filled with barely restrained fury. âThis is not only hurting me but also Bucky.â
You met his gaze, unflinching, your own anger simmering just below the surface. âCome and kill me, you crazy sociopath,â you shot back, your voice dripping with defiance.
Steve took a step closer, his fists clenched at his sides. âIf you keep doing this, youâll ruin the future of Nateâs life,â he warned, his tone now tinged with a desperate edge.
âI knew you have a soft spot for him. And I appreciate it,â he sneered. âBut imagine him being branded with the image of being the illegitimate child, with his father as the most evil president in history.â
Steveâs jaw tightened. âOr you could choose this one: heâll find out who I really am. Instead of shame, heâll be proud to be the son of the president.â
âYou fucking psycho,â you spat, taking a step back, putting space between you and the weight of your shared history. âUsing your own son as your shield.â
Steve shook his head, disbelief mingling with a simmering rage. âYou hate me because I killed your friend. Sure, I understand that. But if he were still alive, your husband and I probably couldnât win the election.â
As the two of you locked eyes, the atmosphere crackled with tensionâa brutal dance of hurt and anger, intertwined with a strange sense of familiarity. Steveâs breath quickened, the realization dawning on him that the battle wasnât just external; it was deeply personal, and it threatened to consume them both.
âEverything is about paying back. Everyone in here knows everyoneâs secrets.â Steve's voice was cold, his jaw clenched tightly as he glared at you, the tension in the air crackling like electricity. His hands were balled into fists at his sides, as if holding back the urge to lash out.
"I hate people like youâthe idealistic type," Steve said, his voice low and simmering with frustration. He stepped closer, his eyes narrowing as he locked onto yours, the tension in the air palpable. "If you get rid of me, there will only be another just like me."
đžđžđžđžđž
After talking to Steve, you returned home, your heart still racing with the weight of the conversation. As you stepped through the door, you saw Bucky waiting for you, his expression unreadable. The moment you locked eyes, tension filled the room.
"Youâre just a puppet for Steve," you spat, your voice dripping with disdain. "Iâm so ashamed of you."
Bucky's face hardened, his jaw clenched tightly as he stepped closer, his frustration boiling over. "You donât understand anything! Iâm doing what I have to do," he shot back, his tone sharp and defensive.
âDoing what you have to do?â you scoffed, your hands trembling with anger. âYouâre covering up Ianâs death! Youâre a coward for letting this happen!â Your words hung heavy in the air, each accusation striking a nerve as you paced back and forth, unable to contain your rage.
Buckyâs eyes flashed with a mix of hurt and anger. âYou think itâs that simple? Itâs not just about me! I have to protect whatâs left of this place, even if it means making sacrifices!â He ran a hand through his hair, the frustration evident in the way his fingers curled into his scalp.
You shook your head, refusing to back down. âSacrifices? You mean sacrificing your integrity? Youâve lost yourself to this game, Bucky! I canât believe you let Steve manipulate you like this.â
Unbeknownst to both of you, your heated argument was being overheard. Natasha listened intently from the hidden bug that had been planted in the room, her brow furrowed with concern as she glanced at Steve. âBoth of them are fighting. Bucky sounds surprised,â she informed him, her tone serious.
Steve leaned back in his chair, a slight smirk forming on his lips. âGood,â he replied, a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes. He relished the chaos unfolding, knowing that conflict could lead to clarity, both for Bucky and for you. The storm brewing between you two was exactly what he needed.
đžđžđžđžđž
Even though there was turmoil at home, everything had to keep going. Bucky had to accompany Steve to attend the parade. The parade was a vibrant spectacle, a sea of red, white, and blue, with flags fluttering in the crisp air. Cheerful crowds lined the streets, waving banners and chanting the names of their leaders, their excitement palpable.
"Mr. President! Mr. President!" they roared, their voices a chorus of admiration for Steve Rogers, who stood tall and confident, a smile breaking across his face as he waved back. The warmth of the people's adoration radiated around him, but as the crowd's energy surged, the atmosphere felt electric, almost frenetic.
Beside him, Bucky Barnes maintained a more stoic demeanor. Though he wore the badge of Vice President, the cheers seemed to pass over him, fewer and far between. He appreciated the excitement but felt a twinge of disappointment that the cheers weren't for him. He turned to Steve, his brow furrowing slightly, and remarked dryly, "You know, I thought they would be a bit more enthusiastic about me."
Steve had brought Bucky here to entertain him because he knew about the problems between Bucky and you. You're wild and couldn't be tamed.
Steve chuckled, eyes glinting with mischief as he leaned closer, "Put a leash on your wife, or she'll embarrass this country." His laughter rang out, mingling with the cheers of the crowd, but Bucky's gaze drifted past him, scanning the parade route.
"Yeah," Bucky replied, a hint of agreement in his voice, but his eyes were still fixed on the crowd. There was a tension in the air that he couldnât quite place.
Steve turned to Bucky, his brow slightly furrowed with concern. "How is she?" he asked, his voice low, almost hesitant.
Bucky crossed his arms tightly over his chest, his jaw clenched as he replied, "I told her to be quieter."
âGood,â Steve said, his expression softening a bit. He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before continuing, "Iâm planning to have Hazel by my side."
Bucky's eyes widened, disbelief flashing across his face. "What?" he exclaimed, his posture tensing as he processed the implications of Steveâs words.
"I knew youâd know," Steve said, a hint of regret creeping into his tone. He stepped closer, lowering his voice as if sharing a secret. "And Iâm sorry. But I promise you, I will give Hazel and Nate the best future."
Bucky fell silent, the weight of Steveâs promise hanging in the air between them. He looked away for a moment, his thoughts racing, before finally nodding, a mix of resignation and reluctant acceptance etched on his face.
Steve smiled, relief washing over him as he saw Bucky's reaction. There was a sense of camaraderie in the moment, a silent understanding forged in the midst of tension. But as Bucky looked at Steve, his eyes betrayed a flicker of uncertainty, hinting at the underlying conflict that still simmered just beneath the surface.
"I'm so glad to have you as my partner," Steve continued, sincerity evident in his tone. "May we work together until we die."
"Until we die," Bucky murmured, his voice almost lost in the surrounding commotion.
Suddenly, a voice cut through the noise, calling out, "Barnes!" A hand waved from the throng, the first time anyone had shouted his name that day. Bucky glanced at the person but didnât respond with a wave like Steve did. Instead, he gave a subtle nod, a flicker of acknowledgment that felt more calculated than celebratory.
In that instant, chaos erupted. "KYAAA!!!"
A sharp crack rang out, slicing through the jubilant atmosphere. Bucky staggered as if struck by a physical blow, his eyes widening in shock.
The cheers turned into gasps of disbelief, and screams erupted as the crowd reacted in panic, some dropping to the ground, others frantically searching for cover. The Secret Service sprang into action, "Protect the Vice-President!", a wall of suits forming around Bucky as people pushed back in terror, the once-cheerful parade transformed into a scene of horror.
"Bucky!" Steve shouted, rushing forward, his heart pounding as he reached his partner's side. The world around him blurred, and all he could focus on was Bucky, crumpling to the ground.
Everyone was shouting, the air thick with fear and confusion, but all Steve heard was the ragged sound of his own breathing and the desperate cry of his friend. "Bucky!" he repeated, urgency lacing his tone.
Bucky's breath came in ragged gasps, his body sprawled on the pavement. The color drained from his face as he struggled to lift his hand, feeling the warmth of blood seeping through his fingers. With a surge of effort, he grasped Steve's arm, pulling him closer, anchoring himself to his partner even as the life slipped away from him. "All hail the President," he managed, his voice weak but resolute.
Steve's expression shifted from shock to horror, his body taut with the weight of impending dread. Bucky's grip tightened, holding him in place as if preventing him from moving, creating a storm of emotions that threatened to overwhelm them both. "Bucky, stay with me," he urged, desperation lacing his tone.
Bucky locked eyes with Steve, seeing the fear reflected there. A strange calm washed over him as he whispered, "As Nate's father, this is my gift for you."
Then, without warning, a searing pain tore through Steveâs chest, a sharp shot of agony that rooted him to the spot. The world blurred around him as he struggled to comprehend what was happening, realizing in that instant that he was the true target.
Steve felt the impact before he could process the meaning behind Buckyâs words. The world around them seemed to slow as the realization of betrayal hit him. He caught a glimpse of Bucky's fading form, and in that moment, a twisted smirk crept across his lips. "Well played," he murmured, before the darkness consumed him, and he dropped to the ground.
Buckyâs grip slackened, the warmth of his hand slipping away. Buckyâs body went limp, and as everything turned dark around him, Steve felt his own strength faltering.
That day, which was meant to be a celebration, turned into a day of mourning. Two main leaders of the country were injured, and no one knew who was behind the attack. With the most important figures in the nation harmed, it felt like an embarrassment for a country that prided itself on its strength.
Both parties in the government reached a silent agreement to keep the situation under wraps and portray Steve as a hero.
The news headlines that would follow would echo through history: âThe President Dies Protecting the Vice President.â It would be a legacy of sacrifice, a testament to their bond. Steve Rogers would forever be remembered as the only president who lost his life protecting another, a tragedy that would resonate for generations.
Everyone would remember him as a good symbol, sacrificing himself for someone, without recalling the darker aspects of his actions. This was the last gift Bucky gave to him.
đžđžđžđžđž
2 days later
Bucky's eyes fluttered open, the sterile brightness of the hospital room piercing through the haze of his coma. As his surroundings came into focus, the first thing he saw was you, your face streaked with tears, a mixture of relief and anger etched across your features.
You rushed to his side, gripping his arm tightly, your voice trembling with emotion. "You idiot! What kind of plan was that? Risking your life?"
Bucky's brow furrowed slightly as he tried to process your words, his voice hoarse but steady. "Didn't I tell you? I will accept it if you hurt me."
Both of you pretended to fight to keep Steve from suspecting anything. He knew how much Bucky loved you, and with the two of you constantly bickering, he wouldn't notice that someone else had hired an assassin.
It was Caroline. She was the one who hired the sniper to take Steve's life. Donât mess with a motherâor a woman like her.
Bucky getting shot first was all part of the plan. Carolineâs intention was to take out Steve, but Bucky warned her that he would also become a suspect if that happened.
Instead, he proposed that he get hurt first, diverting everyoneâs attention to him, allowing Steve to be vulnerable next.
It was a risky planâan idiotic one, really. But Bucky insisted, determined to see it through despite the danger that loomed over them all.
A deep sigh escaped your lips, a blend of frustration and relief washing over you. You leaned against his chest, resting your head there, feeling the steady thump of his heartbeat beneath your cheek. In that moment, everything else faded awayâthe anger, the fearâand all that mattered was that he was alive.
Risking his life was necessary to make his plan work. He didn't want the past six years of his efforts to go to waste.
The past six years had been exhausting for Bucky Barnes. He had immersed himself in the treacherous waters of politics, drawn in by the intoxicating taste of power that left a lingering sweetness on his tongue.
He quickly realized that understanding the law was not merely a tool; it was a weapon. Knowledge of loopholes became his advantage, a means to navigate the convoluted game of governance. But knowing the rules wasnât enough; he needed to be ruthless. That was where Steve Rogers came into the pictureâhis mentor, a family friend for years, whose facade of integrity masked a far more sinister reality.
In Buckyâs eyes, Steve had always been perfect, a paragon of virtue. But as time wore on, the veneer began to crack, revealing the monstrous truth lurking beneath.
Steve was a predator cloaked in a heroâs guise. His charming smile belied a voracious greed that left a bloody trail in its wake. It was a shock to discover that Steve had been having an affair with Hazel, and now he was the father of Nate, the child whose very existence felt like a dagger to Buckyâs heart.
This betrayal was too much to bear. Buckyâs hatred for the man he once idolized simmered just below the surface, boiling over as he considered how to dismantle the carefully constructed empire Steve had built. Bucky knew the rules; he understood the political landscape better than most. But how could he bring down someone so deeply entrenched in the system?
Despite all his advantages, Steve believed he was the master of this game. No, he wasnât. Buckyâs confidence swelled as he acknowledged that Steveâs skillsâhis war experience, his tactical mindâwould ultimately falter against the true currency of politics. In this brutal arena, the real gold was connections and money. Behind every politician lurked unseen puppet masters pulling the strings, and Steve was no exception.
Bucky knew that while Steve had forged connections, he lacked the pedigree that defined the upper echelons of power. Steve had been a nobody until Peggy Carter had invited him into their circle, and that was when they made a monumental mistakeâchoosing Steve. He might have had his allies, but he would never be blue blood like Bucky and Peggy.
Then there was Peggy. The last straw. Buckyâs heart twisted as he recalled the circumstances of her death. He was all too aware that it had been Steve's machinations that had ultimately led to her demise. Bucky had witnessed the toll it took on her, the way she had struggled under the weight of her decisions, her life unraveling in the shadow of Steve's ambition. Buckyâs hands tightened into fists at the memory.
Caroline had been the voice of caution, her words echoing in his mind: âThis is why you never bite the hand that feeds you.â
She may not have been a good mother, but she had been a loyal friend to Peggy, always protecting her interests, ensuring that her secrets remained buried. Bucky could see how easily Caroline could hire an assassin, how she moved through the shadows like a whisper, orchestrating the chaos without ever getting her hands dirty.
He never thought you and Caroline would join forces to rid the world of Steve. With each passing day, Bucky felt the walls closing in, the weight of the decisions he had to make pressing down on him like a vice. Steve would fall; it was only a matter of time.
đžđžđžđžđž
Bucky stood in the Oval Office, a resolute figure beside the iconic Resolute Desk, a Bible open in front of him. The room was thick with anticipation, everyone watching him intently as he prepared to deliver his vow. His posture was firm, shoulders squared, as he looked around at the faces of his colleagues and allies, feeling the weight of the moment pressing down on him. He glanced at the words on the page, drawing strength from their meaning as he readied himself to speak.
With a steady voice, he began, "I stand before you today, not just as your president, but as a servant of the people. I vow to uphold the Constitution, to protect the rights of every citizen, and to work tirelessly for the betterment of our nation. Together, we will fight against corruption and ensure that government truly serves the people. I promise to lead with integrity, to listen to your voices, and to bring about the change we so desperately need."
You stood behind him, pride swelling in your chest as you witnessed Bucky fulfill his promise to become president.
Behind you sat Caroline and Julius, the latter in his wheelchair, their expressions a mix of hope and admiration. Buckyâs oldest brother, Shawn, had called to congratulate him, his voice brimming with encouragement. Your brother Tim stood nearby, a smile on his face, reflecting the joy that filled the room. At the back, Hazel lingered, her posture tense and withdrawn, reluctant to stand close to her family.
As the applause began and everyone congratulated Bucky and you, Natasha approached Hazel, who stood near the corner as if she wanted to hide.
Perhaps she was too embarrassed to be there. Before, she had come to the White House as Steve's mistress, and everyone knew who she was but kept their mouths shut. This time, she was here only as Bucky's sister. âI have something for you,â Natasha said, extending an envelope toward her.
Hazel hesitated, her brows furrowing in confusion. âFor me?â she asked, glancing from the letter to Natasha, unsure of what to expect.
Natasha nodded, a subtle smile breaking through her serious exterior. âYes, itâs from Steve.â With that, she stepped back to take her position.
Hazelâs fingers trembled slightly as she took the letter, the weight of it heavy in her hand. As she opened it, memories flooded back, and she felt a rush of emotions. It was a final message from Steve, words that resonated with her deeply.
The atmosphere in the room shifted as Hazel read the heartfelt letter, her heart pounding in her chest.
"Hazel,
If youâre reading this, it means Iâm probably no longer living. And that's okay; I've come to accept it. The world Iâve inhabited has been fraught with danger, and Iâve made choices that have led me here.
Hazel, from the moment I met you, it felt like looking into a mirrorâa reflection of my own heart and soul. You brought warmth and light into my life, even when I was lost in darkness. Your strength has always amazed me, and I want you to carry that with you as you move forward.
Live the life youâve always wanted. Iâve made arrangements for you and Nate, ensuring you both have the financial support you need to thrive.
Please, for our Nate, support him and listen to him. He will need you more than ever now, and I have every confidence in your ability to guide him.
If there is a next life, I hope we never meet again. You deserve someone better than me. Now that Iâm gone, please try to forget me and the mistakes I made. I genuinely wish you and Nate nothing but the best.
Steve Rogers
P.S. Donât worry about the twins. Theyâve been independent since they were young and have the Carters to guide them. Theyâll be okay."
Tears fell onto the letter as Hazel finished reading it.
âMom?â Nate's small voice broke through her moment of grief.
Hazel looked down at her son, the last legacy of Steve, and quickly wiped her tears away. âDo you want to visit Uncle Steve?â she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
Nate nodded enthusiastically, his bright eyes shining with admiration. âYes! Heâs a hero for saving Uncle Bucky!â
Hazel flinched at the mention of Bucky, but she forced a smile, wanting to be strong for her son. She knelt down to his level and took his small hands in hers, feeling the warmth of his tiny fingers. With her other hand, she clutched the letter written by Steve, a reminder of his love and hopes for her.
Together, they held hands as they walked, Hazelâs heart swelling with determination. Just as Steve had wished, she would live life to the fullest and be a great mother to Nate.
After Hazel and Nate left, Natasha approached Bucky with a serious expression. âBoth of them have left,â she informed him.
Bucky turned to her, his demeanor cool and composed, devoid of any trace of warmth. âShe read the letter?â he asked, his voice steady and flat.
âYes,â Natasha replied, nodding her head.
âDid she believe it?â Bucky pressed, his gaze sharp and focused.
âI hired a professional to copy Steve's signature, and I added a bit of his perfume to the paper,â Natasha explained, her tone measured and confident.
âGood.â Buckyâs expression remained impassive, his eyes betraying no emotion. He had written the letter himself, crafting it to sound like it came from Steve. His intention was clear: he wanted Hazel to move on from Steve, to find a new path without the shadows of the past weighing her down. This was necessary for her future, and he understood the sacrifices it took to ensure that.
âGood job.â Bucky looked at Natasha again, and she nodded in acknowledgment.
It was a curious allianceâhow could a loyal supporter of Steve choose to work with Bucky? The answer lay in humanity. Natasha had pledged her loyalty to Steve because he saved her from the chaos of war when she had no one to turn to. In her eyes, he was a hero, and she had turned a blind eye and deaf ear to his misdeeds, including the affair with Hazel.
But everything changed when she witnessed the heartlessness Steve displayed toward Peggy. The righteous man she once admired had morphed into a monster, and her faith in him shattered. With Steveâs death, Natasha reevaluated her principles and decided to align herself with Bucky.
Bucky brought her on board because he recognized her skills and capabilities. He needed people like Natashaâsharp, resourceful, and fiercely dedicated. But he also understood the value of loyalty and did not intend to take it for granted. Their partnership was strategic, grounded in the shared goal of reshaping the political landscape, and Bucky was determined to build a team that could challenge the corruption that had long plagued their world.
âHave you got everything you need?â your voice pulled him away from his thoughts.
âYes,â he replied, a smile breaking through his usual stoicism as he took your hand in his.
As you both walked through the grand halls of the White House, the sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting a warm glow on the polished floors. Buckyâs grip on your hand was firm, steady, a reassuring anchor in the midst of the political storm surrounding him.
Bucky had his share of greed, but he loathed those who didnât know their limits. Among those were his so-called friends, Edgar and Brock. Together with Steve, they formed a trio of self-serving opportunists, always proclaiming their actions were âfor the peopleâ while their true motivations were purely selfishââfor me, me, and me.â
What set Bucky apart from Steve, Edgar, and Brock was his ambition to dismantle the very system they thrived in. He wanted to rid politics of corrupt individuals like them, who masqueraded their greed as altruism. Bucky had seen too much of the damage they had inflicted on the community, and he was determined to be the catalyst for change. He refused to become like them.
To clean up the government, he knew he had to start with this corrupt trio. It was a slow and grueling process, requiring patience and strategy, but Bucky was committed to the fight. He would work behind the scenes, gathering evidence, building alliances, and slowly dismantling their influence. It was exhausting, but he was relentless.
His ultimate goal extended beyond simply removing them from power. He envisioned a government rebuilt on integrity, one that truly served the interests of the people rather than the egos of a few. The road ahead was fraught with challenges, but he was willing to face them head-on. Every step he took toward exposing the trio brought him closer to realizing his vision of a more just and equitable political landscape.
As Bucky navigated the murky waters of politics, he felt the weight of his mission pressing down on him. He was no longer just a pawn in the game; he was a player with a purpose. This time, he wouldnât be silenced. He was determined to take the fight to them, fueled by a deep resolve to expose their hypocrisy and restore honor to a system long tainted by greed.
But alongside you, he realized something important: for an imperfect couple, you both made a perfect team. As you walked together, side by side, it felt like you were crossing a finish line, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. Each step was a testament to your shared commitmentâa bond forged in trust and understanding, built on the ashes of past mistakes.
You glanced up at him, and in that moment, you could see the determination in his eyes, the fire that ignited whenever he believed in something. Together, you were more than just individuals; you were partners united in a common cause, ready to fight for a better future. In the complicated world of power and betrayal, your partnership was a beacon of hope, lighting the way toward justice and change.
-The End-
Author's Note: Thank you to everyone who followed this series until the end. This story has its flaws, but I truly appreciate your support and dedication. It was incredibly difficult for me to wrap up this journey and say goodbye to Bucky and his fierce ex-wife. Writing a tale that intertwines politics with romance has been both a challenging and rewarding experience. I've learned so much about character development and the complexities of relationships, and I'm grateful to have shared this journey with all of you. Your feedback and encouragement have meant the world to me.

Saving A New Wish: One Show with All (Fairly) Odds Against It
Fairly OddParents: A New Wish is a sequel that managed to surprise almost everybody.
At this point, everyone knows the story of how this popular Nicktoon ended up falling off.....hard. So obviously, when A New Wish was initially announced, no one really expected anything good to come out of it.
Fast forward to now, and there's been a new wave of fans that love this seriesâ including me! Maybe like me, some fans out there started caring about FOP was directly because of this sequel! Whether fans started enjoying since the pilot leaked or since Peri made his first appearance, they've all shown the same amount of love they have for A New Wish.
However, there's been many fans, old and new, around the world that have been waiting to be able to properly watch the series. A New Wish is a co-production with Nickelodeon and Netflix, meaning that the latter has the worldwide distribution rights to the series.
Before I mention something very important to this post, let me share a very important story from Ashleigh Hairston, voice of Hazel and co-executive producer:
(If this image should be removed, please let me know.)
There's an important part of this story I'd like to highlight too:
To give a quick idea of how Netflix renews its shows:
Netflix will see how many users actually complete the entire first season, so it would unfortunately matter if the show gets 50 million viewers. Why? Because if only less than 50% of those viewers watch every single episode, the show will not be renewed.
Basically, it's up to Netflix to choose whether the show gets cancelled or renewed.
If you're like me, a person who is worried about another good show being cancelled, you'd support this show. A New Wish is a show made with love, and while it's not perfect, it's one of my favorite shows already. So even if you're interested in this show or not, you can try supporting the show by:
-Watching it all for the first time if you're new!
-Rewatching it all, including episodes you may have missed
-Same as the last, but in your second language's dub!
-Leaving full episodes on as background noise (Just remember to tell Netflix you're still watching, views are views!)
-RATE POSITIVELY IF NETFLIX ASKS YOU TO!!!
-Posting anything with FOP with the hashtag #GreenlightFOPANWS2 and tag @nickelodeon , @nickanimation , and @netflix!!
I truly hope this show gets a second season!! I mean, listen to Peri! You're in for a great time anyway, so please watch every episode on Netflix on NOVEMBER 14TH!!!
youtube
(11/5) AN IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO IF YOU'RE RESUBSCRIBING TO NETFLIX OR MAKING A NEW ACCOUNT:
PLEASE DO NOT USE YOUR NETFLIX ACCOUNT FOR ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL NOVEMBER 14TH!!! LIKE THE POST SAYS, SHOW NETFLIX YOU CAME BACK FOR ANW
#genuinely please support the show#last time I got too invested into a series it was cancelled too!!#just give the show another season and this can be peak trust me#greenlight fopanw S2#greenlightfopanwS2#fairly oddparents#fairly oddparents a new wish#fop a new wish#hazel wells#dev dimmadome#the fairly oddparents a new wish#cosmo fairly oddparents#cosmo and wanda#cosmo fop#cosmo#wanda fop#wanda#fop wanda#peri fop#periwinkle#perirep#peri fairywinkle cosma#peri#fop peri#fop#irep#fop new wish#irep fop#irep fairly oddparents#peri x irep

A moment's silence when my baby puts her mouth on me.
smutsmutsmut!! i've never written smut before, if something's wrong please let me know!! giving head (spencer receiving), no y/n, no gender specificity, a little rushed, no idea how many words, send asks!!
"There you go, honey.. take it all" Spencer's voice is almost shaky, guiding you by your hair further down onto his cock, stopping when you gag. But after a minute you began moving on your own, letting your spit dribble down to the base, your plans are ruined when he grips harder to that fistful of hair and pushes you down.
This doesn't happen without the relentless murmurs and whimpers of "oh baby, I'm sorry..". Along with multiple praises of "yes my sweet, taking me so well." Either way, the sudden vocal approach was different, and it just spurred you on further, humming out a moan. A simple thing clearly had a huge impact on the man above you, hips bucking, leading to a cough as you pulled away.
Strands of saliva that once connected you to his flushed red tip, broke and retracted back, leaving a clear, bubbly line of drool dripping from your bottom lip. His thumb came down wiping softly over the substance before pushing it back into your mouth. Accepting it, you pushed forward, sucking lightly on the digit before pulling off with a lewd 'pop'.
Taking initiative, lifting your soft hands, the ones he loved and kissed tenderly on the first date were soon wrapped around him. It was different to your mouth, but a gasp still left him at the contact, he was grateful for anything at this point. As your tugs slowly lessened, you could tell he was missing the warmth and wetness of your perfect mouth around him.
So you gave him what you wanted, parting your soft lips, replacing your hands with the familiar sensation, lightly grazing your teeth against the tip. "Fuck, please-" he sounded strained, desperate. Usually it was you under him, begging for his touch, hips bucking and pleading for him. No matter how much you missed that, him taking care of you, it still felt good to get him off.
That feeling inside him was clearly increasing, he twitched inside your mouth when you'd taken him further into your throat. His hips bucked and he was almost immediately gone, even then, he was still gentle, still cared for you. "I'm gonna cum, baby I'm- please!". Tears were welling up in your eyes, gag reflex being abused over and over, slightly blurring the face of pure ecstasy above you.
Clearly he was holding back, not wanting to surprise you with cumming down your throat without warning. You nodded the best you could and it was over for him, two more light thrusts and the coil snapped. Hot, white spurts of his release coated your tongue, already half pulling off him when Spencer had grabbed onto your head. Keeping you where he wanted you, the salty liquid had spurted up and onto your face, there he was, watching in awe.
Your lips, cheek, some on your nose. Smiling down at you, he took a second to admire the way you looked on your knees between his thighs. On the ground, hands on your own lap, staring up with those big wide eyes of yours.
"Oh look at you, so messy.. who did that?" You both laughed at his comment, clearly he found himself hilarious. "You di-" unable to finish your sentence, breaking into a fit of coughing and struggled breaths. Immediately, he was concerned, and felt extremely guilty.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I'm so sorry.." caressing your cheek softly with his thumb, the night ended quickly with a hot tea brewing, more to soothe your throat than anything. With tea finished, arms around your waist, laying under the covers staring each other in the eyes. Almost like cheesy teens, TV softly lighting up the room, also serving as a light background noise. Soon, tiredness took over both of you, your eyes starting to droop before his.
"It's alright, just rest for me.."

âhavenât we already established that iâm a rare creature?â billy laughs, glancing up from his phone to smile at lucy gray. a silent thank you for taking him by the arm and ensuring he doesnât get ran over or something. âyeah, they did.â the whole club saw us make out on the dance floor, but he swallows the words, figuring this minor case of amnesia is a blessing. âwhich would explain why barb azure is so distant and wary of me. she probably thinks iâm only here to play with your heart for a few days and then go back to new york.â hopefully, barb azure will give him another chance, though, when he proves himself. âoh, please⊠iâll set up my camp at the front door before sunrise. of course, iâll be the first in line.â he might be joking about the camp part, but heâs very much serious about the rest â he wonât miss this show. his calendar might be busy, but this is his priority. lucy gray is his priority. âand donât forget to text me your flight details, iâll pick you up from the airport.â billy so desperately wants to go back to how they were before, but at the same time understands that the past is in the past and thereâs really no going back. what he can do is focus on creating a better future. âiâm sure you will. god, lucy gray, this is a huge opportunity.â he shyly reaches for her hand, laying his own, palm up, on the empty seat between them and hoping sheâll take it. heâs so proud of her, but can also tell that sheâs a little nervous. who wouldnât be? âsounds like a good idea.â heâs always the most excited to hear her original songs, but sheâs got this incredible talent â when she covers other peopleâs songs, she still finds a way to make them her own. itâs beautiful. âdonât think weâll get to hear maybe it was memphis again, though?â he wonders aloud, smiling sheepishly. it feels like heâs back in high school and his belly is filled with butterflies, but thereâs also a lot of guilt at the bottom of it all â what he did last night, what he did to blair⊠itâs left a horrible taste in his mouth. he really shouldnât have acted so fastâŠ
âwow, a dinosaur-kangaroo crossover. first time iâm ever seeinâ it.â she giggles a little as she watches him, grabbing his arm to keep him following along. âkissinâ? they walked in on us kissinââŠâ lucy gray repeats, sheepishly staring at the back of the drivers head rest. embarrassing herself letting that sink in and embarrassing that maude ivory caught it. âglad knowinâ my eyes are this powerful.â she manages to smile this time, despite feeling a foreign feeling of not knowing how to feel for the first time of whether she wants to be a mother one day. âyeah, make sure youâre in line first and i donât think youâll have trouble gettinâ in.â sheâll make a note to remind him and get the address, all the details in place. âalright, i will do then.â but what about his girlfriend? did he really break up with her this fast? this is why elseâ save for the other reasonsâ why lucy gray's strictly calling this a friend date. "i don't yet, but i sure will think of somethin' nice. for my outfit and songs to sing." smiling excitedly, she hopes the new yorkers will love her as much as people down here do. going to new york city will definitely be going out of her comfort zone when she's always been comfortable with southern folk and the atmosphere better, a little unsure and wary about the ones up north and being entirely out of her elementâ but guesses she'll go in with a smile and charm her way right through. "i might sing an original. actually, i think i'll sing two and then a few covers." so that way it's more tactical. gives people a chance to hear something new and something familiar. "thank you, it feels that way." kindly smiling at him, appreciating he's happy for her but definitely thinking somewhere in the back of her mind how he's moving too fast. wasn't like they weren't parted for a handful of years.

Do it for them - Co-captain reader x Curly
Previous - Part 13 - Next
"Swansea! Did you eat all the sweets?"
Swansea: "I don't know what you're talking about!"
He crossed his arms indignantly at your accusation, while you could see the chocolate stain on his mouth.Â
Anya: "It wasn't him... I was eating the sweets you brought..."
You turned to look at her and tilted your head.Â
"...You have been... very good, Anya"Â
Anya: "...Thank you, captain"
"Did you left any candy? Can you share a bit with us?"
Anya: "Oh- yes, I'm very sorry for hogging them all by myself- I just wanted to eat something sweet"
"Don't worry, I understand. Just don't steal them, okay? We're just about to go home, we need to hold on a bit longer, then we'll eat whatever we want."Â
Daisuke: "When we return! We'll stay in touch, right?? I don't want us to drift apart! Swansea, I want to meet your children and your wife! Oh, and I want to try the captain's food! The captain talked a lot about how much he misses her food!"
All the enthusiasm the boy had, you set aside while you slowly walked towards Anya and carefully took her hands.Â
"You wear looser clothes."
Anya: "Yes..."
"...You know we have to wait three months... And three more to return?"
Anya: "I know..."
"...If that's what you wanted... I'm going to help you."
Both men were attentive to the conversation the two were having, approaching curiously.Â
Swansea: "What is that whispering you two are doing?"
Instead of telling her, you looked Anya straight in the eyes, hoping she would confirm it herself.Â
Anya: "I... didn't took the pills to end my pregnancy..."
Daisuke: "What??? Why???"
"That doesn't matter. It's the decision she has made and we are going to support her, we won't leave her behind."
You interrupted him and looked at the ceiling for a moment.Â
"Should be born when we are already in the rescue or before it... But I didn't say anything about a pregnant crew member..."
Anya: "We can induce it, I'll be on time before they arrive anyway."
"You know the risks of that, and we don't have the equipment prepared for something like this."
Anya: "I trust you"
"Ah... You want to gave me a heart attack, don't you?" You sighed, resting your forehead on his shoulder.Â
Anya: "Please no" she responded with a chuckle.Â
Daisuke: "So, we're going to have a new member in the crew! Shall we give it a name?"
Swansea was about to hit Daisuke on the head to make him shut up, but Anya responded calmly.Â
Anya: "I think the best thing will be not to give it a name. I plan to hand it over for adoption when we reach Earth again."Â
The boy slowly raised his hand, as if asking for permission to speak.Â
Daisuke: "Can I at least give it the nickname Polly? I don't wanna call it thing"
Anya: "You can call it however you want."
"Seriously? Polly? Like the mascot of Pony Express?"
You looked up just to judge him for his comment.Â
Daisuke: "Of course! First baby born in space! On the Tulpar of Pony Express! Nicknamed the great pet that everyone knows!"Â
"Swansea"
Swansea: "With pleasure"
Upon saying that, the man smack the back of the head of Daisuke.Â
"Well, how about you take me to where you hid the candy?"
You patted the woman's shoulders, and she nodded to guide you to her room and show you where she kept them.Â
Anya: "Seriously, aren't you going to ask me why I decided this?"
"My curiosity is killing me. But it was your decision, and I will respect it."
You got scared when you felt her arms around you, holding you tightly from behind.Â
Anya: "...I was afraid of the pain, of infertility, and that in the future, when I want to have a family... I couldn't, and I must remember why... remember what he did to me... and the pain I felt..."
"...You are very strong... Much more than I was"
Anya: "Don't you think that... I'm a coward?"
"Not at all, I understand your reasons. And I'm glad this is going to bring you peace."
When she slowly let go of you, you turned to look at her and smile.Â
"But before you even think about starting a family, I want to see you with your doctorate degree! Understood??"
You shook her several times, making her laugh.
Anya: "Do you think I can?"
"Of course! The ninth time's the charm."
You winked at her, making her laugh, and she hugged you, hiding her face in your neck, smiling sincerely.Â
Anya: "I'm glad you're with us... Without you, I don't know what would become of all of us..."
"You're welcome... You are my crew... You are my responsibility."
You indicated by returning the hug.

Sweet Like Candy
Warnings: cursing, light smut, probably mischaracterization (If Iâm missing any warnings please tell me!đ«¶)
Background: Bakugo hated sweet things, he thought they were a gateway to give people diabetes. So it wasnât weird for his class to see him not even eat more than half a slice of his own birthday cake. Itâs not like he hated sugar, he just didnât like the gross aftertaste in his mouth, the way his hands get all sticky depending on what heâs eating (fuckin neat freak), the aching in his stomach that could come if he ate too much, what idiot would put themselves through that much torture just for 5 seconds of deliciousness? You. You would. So when Class 1-A decided to visit a sweet shop to celebrate a big rescue, best believe he grumbled about the suggestion until he arrived and saw- you.
After their latest mission, Class 1-A decided to celebrate, and someone suggested a sweets shop. Bakugoâs reaction was immediate and definitely wasnât sweet.
âA damn candy store?â he grumbled, arms crossed, glaring at everyone like theyâd betrayed him. âWe just kicked ass, and you wanna celebrate with a sugar high?â
âOh, come on, Bakugo!â Mina insisted, practically dragging him along despite his protests. âItâll be fun! This place has everythingâchocolates, pastries, even dark chocolate. You might like something!â
With a scowl, he stepped into The Sugar Nest. Pastel pinks and blues covered the walls, fairy lights twinkling around the room. The warm scent of baked goods filled the air, and Bakugo looked like heâd just entered his worst nightmare.
And then he noticed you. You were behind the counter, handing a cupcake to a kid who immediately took a big bite, grinning as frosting smudged his nose. When you looked up at the group, you greeted everyone with a bright smile. Class 1-A stampeded toward the displays, but Bakugo kept his distance, arms crossed, shooting death glares at the cakes and cookies.
You noticed his sour expression and couldnât help but tease. âNot a fan of sweets?â
Bakugo scoffed. âHell no. I donât eat sugar-coated crap,â he muttered, practically daring you to argue.
You didnât back down. Instead, you leaned on the counter, smirking. âMaybe youâve just never had the right kind.â You reached into the display and picked out a small square of dark chocolate with sea salt. âHere. Dark chocolateâno sticky fingers, no sugar overload. Just the good stuff.â
He looked at you like youâd just handed him a grenade. But he took the chocolate, biting into it like he wanted to hate it. Only he didnât. The bitterness and salt were perfectly balanced, with no sugary aftertaste.
âItâs⊠fine,â he muttered, chewing slowly.
âSee?â you teased. âNot all sweets are just sugar bombs.â
From that day on, Bakugo told himself he was only at the shop to âkeep the idiots in check.â But every time Class 1-A ended up at The Sugar Nest, he somehow found himself in front of the counter, accepting whatever dark chocolate creation youâd saved for him. Then, one day, he came in alone. You noticed him walking in, arms crossed, pretending it was a coincidence.
âBack again, huh?â you greeted him, a small grin on your face.
He shrugged, attempting his usual scowl. âNothing better to do,â he muttered.
You handed him a dark chocolate truffle dusted with smoky sea salt. He took a bite, his eyes narrowing slightly as he savored the intense, smoky flavor.
âSo, do you really hate sweets, or do you just hate everything on principle?â you teased, resting your elbows on the counter.
âMost sweets suck,â he replied immediately, then shrugged. âNot all of âem.â
You raised an eyebrow, smirking. âGuess thatâs as close to a compliment as Iâll get.â
He rolled his eyes, but you saw a flicker of a smile, which felt like a victory.
In the weeks that followed, Bakugo kept showing up, sometimes with his classmates, sometimes on his own. Each time, heâd lean on the counter, muttering about whatever new treat you handed him. You fell into a routine, chatting about anything and everything, and he started bringing things for you, tooâa rare spice he thought youâd like, an herb heâd grown, even a small cactus heâd claimed was âjust in the way.â Heâd hand them over with a gruff âfigure youâd know what to do with this,â and each time, your face lit up, and he seemed secretly pleased.
One afternoon, he stayed after the shop had closed, leaning on the counter as you finished cleaning up.
âWhat?â you asked, noticing his intense gaze.
He shrugged. âDidnât know youâd be workinâ this late.â
âWell, I own the place. Sometimes, Iâm here all night,â you replied, glancing at him. âWhy? You sticking around for something?â
He paused, his usual glare softening. âMaybe,â he muttered, looking away, and you felt your cheeks heat up.
Gathering your courage, you handed him a last treatâa dark chocolate infused with chili. As he bit into it, his eyes widened, the smoky heat mingling with the bitter chocolate. âDamn,â he muttered. âDidnât think Iâd like this.â
âOh?â you teased, stepping closer. âSo you donât hate all sweets after all?â
He looked at you, his cheeks tinged with pink. His hand brushed against yours almost unconsciously. âYeah, well,â he muttered, âyouâre the only sweet thing Iâll ever want to taste,â his voice dropping as his gaze fixed on you.
Your heart skipped as he leaned in, his lips capturing yours in a kiss that was unexpectedly soft, his rough exterior melting as his hand found your waist. You could taste the chili chocolate on his lips, and you smiled, feeling his grip tighten.
When he pulled back, he smirked, his eyes glinting. âDonât get used to it,â he muttered, though the way he lingered, his hand still holding yours, told you everything you needed to know.
You smiled, whispering, âGuess you donât hate all sweets after all.â

Together
Pairing: Demetrian Titus x FemReader
Warning: Things get a little spicy toward the end, but nothing explicit
Description: A sequel to Revelation, in the aftermath of the destruction of DeathWatch Kill Team Kasaeran on Kadaku, Titus's serf grieves and reminisces.
âWait! Please tell me-â
The door hissed closed in your face and you heard the input of a locking code. You stood in a dark room. No one had bothered to light the candles. Voices and footsteps sounded from the hallway beyond.
But you had never felt more alone.
âIs he even alive?â You found yourself asking no one.Â
Is Titus still alive?
Tears threatened for what seemed to be the hundredth time that day, ever since the news about Kill Team Kasaeran. Youâd never forget Friggâs wail of grief upon learning Ulfarâs fate. You wondered where she was right now. Did she miss you? Did anyone at the Watch Fortress care that you were gone?
Swallowing a surge of panic, you inspected the room and gasped in relief when your searching fingers found a bundle of matches on the floor. With the candles lit you realized you stood in quarters almost identical to the ones youâd shared with Titus for the past year.
The only difference was the insignia. An inverted omega marked nearly every surface, including the robes of the serfs who had brought you onboard this battle barge. The symbol of the Ultramarines.
You traced one with your fingertips. Titus had taught you much about the Astartesâ chapters you encountered. You knew to smile at Salamanders, steer clear of Black Templars, and be cautious around Space Wolves.Â
Only once did he ever speak of the Ultramarines.
âYou and I will have nothing to do with them, Little Healer.âÂ
You were no fool. Youâd had your suspicions about his past. And now you stood on one of their ships.
But, why? If he was gone, then surely you would have been given another position in the Watch Fortress. Assigned to another Astartes, perhaps.
âEmperor,â you sank to your knees, âplease, please.â
He canât be gone.Â
***
Months Earlier
You jerked awake, thoughts muddled. Shoving blankets and pillows aside, you sat up in what Titus referred to as your ânestâ. The artificial light remained off, and only a few stubby candles flickered. Still the night cycle.
You rubbed your eyes and tried to remember what had awoken you. Then you heard it. Deep, panting gasps, almost animal-like in their intensity. The chemical tang of Astartes sweat filled the air.Â
âMy Lord?â You yawned.
â...go back to sleep, Little Healer.â
Something in his voice worried you, and you scrambled out of your pile of cloth. Or tried to, anyway. A pillow shifted under your feet and you tumbled back into your nest with a yelp.Â
A strained huff from the cot. âClumsy.â
Grumbling and now fully awake, you stood, straightening your sleeping robe around you. âAre you all right, my Lord?â
âYes.â
He did not sound all right.
In the dark, your thighs hit the edge of the cot and you toppled forward, hands landing on scarred, warm skin.Â
âIâm so sorry, my Lord! I just wanted to- eep!â
Hands came out of nowhere, dragging you up and forward until you sprawled on what could only be an impossibly large chest.
âTitus?!â
âStay.â This close, you heard the unsteadiness in his voice. âI needâŠ.â
You understood. âNightmares?â
A deep sigh was your only answer. Something bumped the top of your head, pressing into your hair, and you felt a warm rush of breath.
âYour scent is⊠calming.â
âUm. All right, then.â You hoped he didnât notice the way your breath quickened.Â
***
Present
Time passed. The voices and footsteps outside your room ebbed and flowed, but no one came to unlock the door.Â
You prayed. You drank water from the sink in the lavatory. Prayer. You lit a few more candles. More prayer. Finally, worry succumbed to sheer boredom and you rose from aching knees.
The silent serfs whoâd brought you here had also brought Titusâs chest. A good sign. Why bring his belongings if he was⊠if heâŠ.
You pushed the thought away.Â
Kneeling before the chest, you put your shoulder to the lid and heaved it open with a groan. Titusâs Death Watch pauldron met your eyes first. You traced the engravings and cringed when your fingers came away sticky.Â
They didnât even bother to clean it!
With an indignant huff, you rummaged further for your cleaning supplies, but touched worn leather instead. A pair of gloves.Â
***
Months Earlier
The fork slipped from your cold-numbed fingers onto your plate with a clatter. âOh, Throne damn it!â
Frigg slapped hand on your shoulder. âDonât fret. Yeâll get used to it soon enough. Why, with how hot Astartes run, ye should be grateful the powers that be keep the Fortress as cold as it is. Otherwise only the Salamanders would be happy!â She chortled at her own joke.
You rubbed your hands together, but the heat from the friction faded all too quickly.
âIt wouldnât be so bad if I had-â
âI know.â Frigg rolled her eyes. âAllfatherâs Balls, lass. I told ye Iâd see if I had a spare pair to lend ye, didnât I?â
âYou did. A standard month ago.â
She waved a dismissive hand. âItâs good for ye to toughen up a bit.â
You sighed and tried to grasp your fork again. At this rate, youâd starve to death.
Another serf scrambled into the dining hall. âAstartes coming!â He hissed. âBlack Templar in a foul mood!â
Frigg swore in Fenrisian and pulled you to your feet. âEyes and head down, lass.â
You obeyed as armored boots pounded into the hall. For a long moment no one moved or spoke, and the cold crept back into your bare fingers. Without thinking, you tucked them inside your robe.
âYou!â
Your head shot up to meet the gaze of the Templar. âM-my Lord?â
âYou dare prioritize your own comfort in the presence of an Angel of the Emperor?â
âN-no-â
âAnd now you compound your sin with lies? Come here!â
Frigg shot you a look of pity as you shuffled toward the seething Astartes. His armored gauntlet grasped the back of your robe, dragging you upward. The collar jerked tight around your throat.
âYou will be punished for your insolence, woman.â
âUnhand her, Beren.â
With an oath, the Templar dropped you and pivoted to face the second Astartes to enter the dining hall. âThis is what comes of coddling serfs, Nullus. Sin and insolence!âÂ
Titus ignored him and reached out a hand to you, lifting you to your feet. âAre you hurt, Little Healer?â
âNo, my Lord.â You smiled up at him, almost melting with relief.
Beren snarled. âIf she were my serf-â
âBut she is not..â Titus turned and took a step closer to the Black Templar, his voice lowering to a growl. âShe is mine.â
A wave of heat washed over you at the words.Â
Beren snarled something unintelligible and stomped away. Titus huffed a breath through his nose.
âHe never takes well to losing in the sparring ring.â
You bit back a nervous giggle. âThank you, my Lord.â
He glanced down at you, one corner of his mouth twitching upward. âI brought you something.â
In his gauntlet lay a pair of worn, leather gloves.
***
Present
More time passed. The door remained locked. Your stomach cramped with hunger.Â
Youâd scrubbed Titusâs pauldron until it gleamed. Then youâd scrubbed everything else in sight. Youâd prayed more, but the Emperor didnât seem to be listening.Â
Your mind whirled with awful scenarios. Everyone had forgotten you. One day someone would open the door to find nothing but your withered corpse. And the worst of allâŠ.
Titus was gone.
Gone.
Gone.
Gone.
You crawled onto the cot and wrapped yourself in his red cloak, the same red cloak youâd noticed when you first saw him back on your homeworld. His scent surrounded you.Â
Safety. Companionship. And more.
So much more.
***
One Week Ago
When Titus kissed you, your mind went blank. You didnât know what to do. Except kiss him back.
He pulled you to him, pressing your body to his. You felt the difference in your sizes like never before. He could do anything he wanted to you. The thought should be terrifying.
But it was Titus. You ran your hands up his bare chest, running your fingers over his scars and tracing the metal ports. Youâd touched him before, of course, when he clung to you after his nightmares.
This time felt different. When he pulled away, you whimpered.
âLittle HealerâŠ.â
The rasp of his voice made you tremble. He cupped your face and you saw uncertainty, desire, and something deeper in his rich brown eyes.
âDid you mean your words just now?â
Love. Youâd said you loved him. Some part of your mind whispered words of caution, of the perils of the door you were about to open.
âI meant them with all that I am, Titus. I love you.â
For the first time since youâd met him, he smiled.
You kissed him then. He grunted in surprise, then chuckled, arms wrapping tight around you and lifting you off your feet. His mouth moved from your lips to your throat and you felt the brief brush of teeth.
âYou are mine. Say it.â
Molten heat rushed through your body. âYours. Iâve always been yours, Titus.â
âCall me by my given name.â
âDemetrianâŠ.â
âThrone!â He growled.
The world spun and you felt your back hit the thin mattress of his cot. He loomed above you, massive body outlined in the flickering candlelight. For a moment he reminded you of one of the predatory cats of your homeworld, poised to strike and devour.
But he hesitated. Uncertainty crept back into his eyes.
âDo you want this?â
You reached up to him. âDemetrianâŠ.â
He actually shivered at your touch, eyes closing tight. âI⊠I must hear you say it.â
âI want you, Demetrian. Iâve wanted you for so long.â
He groaned. âAs have I.â With hands that you swore trembled slightly, he slowly pushed your robe off your shoulders. âSo soft, so small⊠I will be gentle, my love.â
And he was.Â
***
Present
That had been the night before he left for Kadaku.Â
You remembered waking to him shifting out from under you on the cot. Heâd seen you wince as you tried to rise and gently pushed you back. You remembered the touch of his hand on your face as he told you to rest.
He would come back to you, he swore. He kissed you and was gone.
Then the terrible news. The arrival of the Ultramarines. Your transport to this battle barge, to this locked room. Days ago. Â
Was this punishment? Had the Emperor deemed your actions a transgression against Him? Â
You buried your face in the red cloak and collapsed onto your side. The cramping of your stomach intensified. You felt weak, but found it hard to care. Youâd gladly starve to death if it meant your soul could find his again.Â
If you could be together again.
The door hissed open. You heard a muttered oath, then the clanking of armor.Â
âLittle Healer.â His face appeared in front of yours, creased with worry. âThey locked you in here?â
You reached for him, and he lifted you. âI have little time, but I will get you to the infirmary.â
âYouâre alive.â
âThey did not even tell you-,â he growled. âWarp take them all.â His arms tightened around you. âI was wounded. I awoke in the Apothecarion earlier today.â He paused. âI am⊠different now.â
You pressed your face against his armor, his blue armor. âYouâre alive.â
âI am, my love. I came back to you.â
Together, you thought as you slipped into unconsciousness, as we always should be.

A Lil Lovin
Worst!Logan x Fem!Mommy Dom!Reader
*A/N: yall can go ahead and thank me in advance!*
The thick combat boots against the metal stairs of the apartment complex were soon heard, as you relaxed on the couch of the apartment you and Logan shared. There was something different though, something about the pace between each stomp was off, something you couldnât put into words. Before you could even get up to greet Logan, he was already slamming the door open with a grunt, not giving his usual soft, but gruff, âiâm home babe,â after returning from a mission. Thatâs when you knew, it was a rough one.
Whether it be the endlessness of Wadeâs banter, or just the fact that he had to deal with these missions in general, you most likely wouldnât be able to decipher but what you did know is that Logan would most likely need some pampering. Pampering that no one would ever guess the big, tough, scary Wolverine would ever be intoâŠ
âHey baby,â your sweet voice lingered through the bathroom as Logan discarded the bloody suit, giving a grunt in return.
You grin, deciding to joke and ease the mood, âDonât tell me youâve fallen for Wade over me! Not the silent treatment,â you fake pout. Though, your face falls as you see the pitiful look in Loganâs eyes, as he looked at you so submissively, almost on the verge of tears.
âOh baby.â
With that coo, Logan is instantly in your arms and nuzzling into your neck, as you kiss his oily hair and whisper sweet nothings into his ear. He whispers something, almost scared to say it, but you know he means it with his heart. He always does.
âPlease mommy,â a beg, a plead, a whisper that was loud and clear to you.
In an instant, youâve immediately got him a warm bath drawn up and are softly running your fingers through his scalp, cleaning all of the grime collected from the fights heâd encountered with Wade.
âMy sweet boy needs a lil loving, huh?â you coo, kissing his shoulder as he leans into your touch, your hand rubbing soft circles over his chest.
He nods, taking in the cozy sensation of the warm bath water and the feeling of your soft hand relaxing his muscles.
âM-missed you so much,â he groans, wrapping his big hand over yours and looking up with his gorgeous hazel eyes.
You couldnât help but smile, Logan looking so handsome like this. A complete 180 from his usual tough demeanor, though youâre quickly ripped out of your gaze when you feel a soft tugging sensation towards his pelvis.
âPlease touch me,â Logan pleads as he leads your hand to his semi-hard cock. He breathes deep, âNeed ya so fuckinâ bad mommy.â
Your hand immediately wraps around, involuntarily, as you give him a big smile and soft kiss.
âMommyâs got you honey.â
Immediately, his lips smash against yours taking you by surprise. No matter how many times Logan got needy after missions, youâd never get used to it, not like youâd want to anyway.
âFuck, thatâs a good boy,â you praise in his ear as he groans and moans. âMm all this for mommy huh?â
Your hand twists and moves smoothly up and down his length as Loganâs moans fill the air, being a pleasurable mix of both gruff and submissive. His head is thrown back and he looks like a damn painting, so perfect with his sculpted features.
âTake such good fucking care of me mommy,â Logan pants, âDonât deserve you.â
Immediately youâre shushing him, dismissing any sort of self-deprecating thought that may have simmered on his mind. He was the most sweetest man you had ever met, just had a tough life is all, and you were damn determined to help him feel it.
âShh, youâre such a good boy. Good boys deserve to get taken care of huh?,â his cheeks tinge at the sweet words spilling from your mouth. âMommyâs good boy. Always so good and sweet,â you coo.
That immediately brings him to the edge, after a few minutes of your soft, warm hand tugging his cock, along with the sweet words dripping from your lips like honey, you hear his words.
âPlease mommy, may I cum.â
âPleaseâ, âmay.â Damnit heâs so polite, you couldnât help the wetness that quickly coated the cotton panties you wore. You moan as you feel him pulse in your hands. Nodding, and cooing for him to released.
âCâmon sweetie, give mommy your cum sweet boy.â
Groans erupted from Loganâs throat as he came all into your hand, softly bucking his hips as he let down his release, the coos of you calling him a âgood boyâ and telling him how good he did filling his ears.
A few minutes later, along with a kiss on his temple brought him out of his post orgasmic haze, and led him to clinging to you across the tub, whimpering for you to get as close as possible. You kiss his head and ruffle the hair on the nape of his neck before slipping off your top and panties, softly sinking into the tub. Softly kissing his lips and holding him against your chest as the warm water engulfs you both.
Sweet boy deserves a lil lovin all the time.
