safe with me
summary - you say 'yes' to being intimate with azriel when you really mean ‘no', because your past relationship taught you that saying 'yes' is the only answer
word count - 1.2k
pairing - azriel x mate!reader
[ reference to past abusive relationship - read with care 🤎 ]
It was the dark of night.
Everyone was in bed except you and Azriel, because you'd both lost track of time staying up and talking about everything and nothing. It was a habit you were both readily guilty of. Neither of you cared, though, when your conversations only made the bond stronger.
Azriel held the bedroom door open for you as you walked through first.
"Do you have training in the morning?" You asked him, walking over to your side of the bed.
You picked up the small tin of body cream there, scooping some up so you could apply it to your hands. It smelt of roses and reminded you of the endless walks through the garden you'd had with Azriel over the years.
"I do, yes. Cassian wants to show the priestesses some new defence techniques. He asked me to help him demonstrate."
Azriel locked the bedroom door and rounded the opposite side of the bed to you - his side, you both now called it.
You watched intensely as he lifted his black shirt over his head.
His muscles stretched and rippled as his body moved. His arms lengthened and the veins popped as he lifted his hands above his head.
You swallowed your desire as you admired him.
Due to Azriel's slight compulsive tendencies, he couldn't just throw his shirt on the floor. Instead, he neatly folded it and placed it on the dressing table.
You don't know what was more attractive; Azriel stripping down or Azirel being neat and tidy.
"It's rude to stare, you know?" He teased you as he came back to bed, lifting the covers to slip underneath.
"I wasn't staring." You blushed.
"Tell that to your cheeks."
You smiled to yourself as you stood up to untuck the covers on your side of the bed, before slipping in beside your mate.
The moment you were laid down Azriel attacked you with a flurry of kisses - probably the sweetest type of attack you could endure.
His lips kissed your cheeks repeatedly, making you laugh out loud from the suddenness of it all. You tried to move away and turn a cheek, but he was too insistent on loving you to notice.
He did notice, however, when your laugh started to fade away as he continued to kiss from your cheek to your neck.
Your mind was spinning a million miles an hour, trying to figure out how you were feeling and if you wanted this innocent kissing to turn into something more intimate. The fact that you were hesitating was enough for you to mentally agree that you didn't want to do anything this evening, but conveying that to your mate was an entire different thing.
"Okay?" He asked, slowly kissing over the sweet spot on your neck that normally got you going.
Unfortunately your mind was being cruel.
Instead of being here and in the room with Az, you had been transported back to the same situation with an ex-male of yours. He had initiated an evening much like Azriel was doing, but he knew you weren't particularly feeling it. Instead of accepting your answer of 'no', he had convinced you that you were "just confused" and "this is something you actually want" and to "just say yes".
You hadn't wanted to say yes at all.
But your ex had been so good at manipulating you that he had eventually gotten what he wanted without making it seem non-consensual.
Azriel, being ever so perceptive, could tell you were caving in on yourself, as well as feeling your heartbeat quicken and his shadows picked up on your hesitance and nervous energy. All of it together sent Azriel major red alarms.
"Hey, sweetheart, hey?"
Azriel's face was hovering above yours now, nowhere near your neck but you hadn't even realised he had moved away.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
You looked in his eyes and saw their concern. You didn't want to worry him. This is something that Azriel wants and that should be enough, right?
"Mhm."
You couldn't convince yourself to say the word 'yes' out loud. You couldn't do that to yourself again.
Azriel's hand cupped your cheek so softly you thought you were made out of porcelain. He looked through you before he spoke - his shadows enclosing around you so that you could just focus on each other and nothing else.
"Sweetheart, you're allowed to say no. You know that."
You blinked a few times as if that would help register what he'd just said.
"But..." You stuttered, "But you want to."
Azriel furrowed his eyebrows and tried to keep himself calm. If it weren't for needing to reassure and comfort you right now, he would very quickly dress in his battle armour and take out every male who had ever wrongly taught you about consent.
How someone could let themselves not take care of you if you weren't feeling up to being intimate is beyond his comprension.
Azriel shook his head, gritting his teeth. "That's not how it works with me."
Your eyes started to water as they were opened to understanding what true consent feels like and should be. Azriel was doing the absolute bare minimum in this situation and yet it felt like the most monumental thing to have happened.
"It’s just... When I was with... him, it didn’t matter if I wanted to or not. What he wanted was all that mattered. And I-I guess I just learned to go along with it."
"Well that stops right now." Azriel said, "That's not how we're going to do things, okay? How you feel is more important to me than getting off. Mother above, how does someone even get off if the other person isn't feeling it? Sweetheart, if you’re not sure, then we stop. Always."
A little teardrop fell onto your cheek, but you couldn't help but smile with how loved and protected you felt right now.
You could tell that Azriel was absolutely heartbroken to hear about your past relationships, but he would be damned if he didn't change the wrongs of your thinking. Knowing that your comfort is his priority filled your heart with joy, because it meant that you were safe with him. Safe with your mate.
“I didn’t realise how scared I was to tell you no. I was so sure it would make you angry, or-or disappointed.”
Azriel shook his head again, “The only thing that would ever disappoint me is you thinking you have to hide how you feel. You’re safe with me. I promise."
You nodded in agreement because you did believe him.
You could feel his trust and his assuredness within the bond.
"Can we just cuddle?" You asked shyly.
"Of course we can." Azriel smiled, kissing your forehead for good measure. "Only after I kill your ex..."
You didn't think he was being serious until he started to get up off you and shuffle out of bed. Laughing, you tugged on his arm and because he wasn't expecting it he landed with an oomph on top of you.
"You'll do no such thing."
"We'll see about that." He scoffed, trying again.
"See about it in the morning?" You counter offered, knowing there was nothing you could do to stop him from defending your honour - overprotective mate.
"Fine." He flopped back down on the bed and made room for you to cosy in next to him.
His wings finally wrapped around you, ensuring your safety as the both of you drifted off to sleep, the weight of your confession making it easier to sleep at night. All the while, Azriel stayed up planning his vengeance.

You ask your sweet loving Choso to smack you around during sex~
Cw: face slapping - big dick Cho - stretched pussy - he gets all teary eyed ♡
Choso hesitates, "Are... you sure that's okay?" His cheeks already tinged pink, and his hand trembles slightly, uncertain, as he searches your face with visible concern.
But your breathless moan of, "yesss~ please Cho~ wan' you to get rough~" makes his blush deepen further and he nearly dies on the spot when you continue to beg... And fuck, the way you stare up at him with such trust makes his hesitation break.
So, as his cock stretches you out perfectly, your gummy walls cling to him tightly with the anticipation of the rough fucking he's about to give you. The way you feel wrapped around him right now has his breath hitching and his cock throbbing, he never knew someone could get off on something like this... Pulling his hips back, until only the tip of him is still nestled inside you, his grip on you tightens, his breath shallow, and the instant you think that he is just going to slowly press in again, his hips snap forward so roughly that the breath is knocked from your lungs and you nearly scream
His hand never once stopped shaking as he finally obliges, but the impact is harder than he attended... And your head lolls to the side from the force of his smack. It all happened so fast, your eyes rolled to the back of your head before your lashes closed as consciousness slipped away. Despite it, you still cum, your pussy fluttering around his shaft and drenching him with your slick.
Choso immediately stops, eyes wide with not only fear but tears brimming as you lie beneath him limp. His voice cracking as a tear falls, "no no no! Wake up, please!"
He cradles your head frantically, checking for injury while repeatedly saying your name in increasingly desperate tones. His hands shake as he gently pats your cheek. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to- Please be o-!"
You whine as his cock leaves your body, making him stop mid sentence, "Ny'o- no, don't- mmm- pull out Cho, just- nghh-"
His expression twists with concern, but the way your pussy is clenching and dripping down your thighs has him groaning. He wants nothing more than to continue, to finish inside, to cum all over you, to have his filthy half curse half human seed flood every inch of you, but...
The sight of you passed out is a little too close to reality, and it sends a chill down his spine.
When your eyes finally flutter open, he nearly collapses with relief, “Thank goodness," he breathes, pressing trembling kisses across your face, "I was so worried. I-I can't bear the thought of hurting you-even if it's something you wanted, I- I'm so sor-mphm?!"
You wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him deeply. Your tongue pushing past his lips to curl around his, licking into him as if trying to clean the taste of his worry and apologies from his mouth.
When you finally release him, his lips are plush and kiss swollen,
"Choso, it's okay. I'm okay, see? You didn't hurt me, but- nnh- I want you to do it again~" your finger comes up to your lip, an attempt to make yourself look innocent and cute, "Please Choso- don't hold back. I- I want you to wreck me..."
... You were going to be the death of him.

so in the bokuto x inexperienced! Reader, is he ACTUALLY experienced or is he just infatuated and cocky 😭 hes giving me “virgin but ive watched a lot of porn and can figure it out” energy and I love that for him
p.4 bokuto teaching inexperienced!reader
this is a great question and a great separate prompt. i decided to go with the former to stay with my original idea, but i DO like the other option a LOT. would be soooo!!! accurate for his character.
warnings. heavy nsfw, minors DNI
details. fem!reader / BIG praise kink!bokuto / himbo!bokuto / sweet, dumb!bokuto / inexperienced!reader / possessive!bokuto / f!rec oral / grinding / clumsy antics / making out / flirting / heavy petting / 2.7k words / reply to be added to taglist for final part
links. my masterlist. my ao3. more haikyuu. part one here. part two here. part three here.
"No bra?"
Bokuto clocked instantly, excitement breaking a barely-there filter, a big cheesy grin still not enough to loosen you up.
"Um," You took your hands back, crossing them over your chest, "Actually- let me go and--,"
Bokuto seethed with an eye roll you couldn't see. He was being playful as he sat half-up to capture you.
His strong grasp settled around your hips, "Ooohh no. I'm not waiting again."
Maybe it was the shirt that inspired him to be extra touchy. You looked like you were properly his.
His eyes scanned you; a burning, unyielding kind of expression that said: No pants, either. Juuust the shirt.
Those hot hands were in constant motion. They rubbed, massaged, your hip joints, the fleshy sides of your ass, and his thumbs would prod into the front of your thighs. It felt good- it helped you relax, because it wasn't too much.
"I meant to ask," Hesitant, and slow, you placed your hands back onto his shoulders, "You've been with other girls, right?"
The attempt to counterbalance his subtle pulling was a failure. You both giggled when you stumbled forward.
"A- few, yeah."
He looked like he was going to say more than he did. You wondered how he felt about them, now.
"Right... obviously- um, sorry for asking," You laughed.
The back of your knuckles flitted across his chiseled jawline. Your tummy was already in knots, but when he leaned into your touch, you melted a little more inside.
Having to pretend like he wasn't so outrageously attractive was odd. In moments like these, where you could slow down and look at every detail in his face, it was natural to acknowledge it.
A simple sigh, "You are so stunning."
He looked up from your hips. His piercing eyes and growing grin added to all of his prominent features, but tempted you to look away out of discomfort.
"You think so?"
It was spoken like he might not have believed your comment.
"Yeah, of course-! You're-," The words stumbled out of your mouth before you could stop them, "You're like, out of this world hot- I don't get why you're wasting time with me."
Bokuto firmed up quickly. He held a determined, focused expression that felt out of place as you searched for what you could have said wrong.
"Woahwoahwoahwoah! Don't say shit like that!"
"Like what?" Was your much smaller, quieter response.
His palms slid up under your shirt, then back down to your hips. He did this repeatedly while he thought.
"I dunno- I'm-- I'm not-," He groaned, "I'm not good with words. But... I don't like pretty girls who don't know that they're pretty. It's kinda lame."
You sort of understood what he meant. You didn't mean to put yourself down, but you considered it fact that he was out of your league. The way you spoke was mostly to address that.
The intellectual struggle he was having made it much more endearing, though. He was dumb. You found that you liked it more than you thought you would.
"Not that I think you're lame!" He clarified all of a sudden.
God, yeah, he was slow. Too many volleyballs to the head.
You chuckled, an affectionate sound, and he grinned again. He wasn't so scary when you got to talk.
"So, you think I'm pretty?" Was your first ever attempt at a real tease.
It was so successful that he slid his hands to grab all the way around your butt, smushing your tummy against his face with a big, maybe too loud of a groan.
You were shushing him, giggly, through his, again, too-loud confession.
"I don't think so, I know so!"
The foreign sensation through his (your?) shirt had you confused for just a moment. You looked down, hardly able to see what he was doing, but realized he was pressing kisses into your stomach through the fabric.
You smiled at how sweet it was, how good it felt. He trailed those slow, warm kisses up between your breasts, to your collarbone, and you only started to firm when he got to your skin, along your neck.
Bokuto could feel you tense up.
He pressed another gentle kiss to your skin, then met your worried expression.
"Hey- I don't bite," Was a soft reminder to relax, to not get lost in the nerves.
His gaze fell to your lips. You watched it happen, you watched his pupils grow, his thoughts running rampant behind his eyes.
A little mutter, a little empty, if anything, "Promise..."
His kiss was sweet, and slow, and soft. You felt guilty for not quite knowing how to return it.
The reassurance came in the form of his hands reaching, holding, the back of your head and the side of your face to keep you still, angled just right.
You barely returned the pressure- nervous, that he would get turned off if you tried too hard.
It felt like he was sending volts of electricity straight down your body, not a single vein or muscle exempt from the sensation. He parted for just a moment, to shift or something. He kept his hands on you.
Dumb, you took a breath to apologize for not knowing what to do, but his lips were crashing back onto yours. It was messier, not as perfect, this time.
You chuckled against his mouth, hands jittery, pressing on his shoulders with the intent to move from him. To maybe collect yourself, adjust, say sorry again.
But he was rougher, and you felt his warm tongue swipe against your bottom lip- you flinched.
"Mmh-!" It was hard moving away from him because he followed you.
He was breathy, his lids low, only focused on getting more. Your stiffness was one-sided and not serving you very well.
One hand took up most of the real estate on the side of your neck, more than enough to direct you, while his other arm wrapped around your waist. He pulled you in and started to lean back.
You slipped forward at his haste and tried to catch yourself with your knee.
It missed the edge of the bed where you tried to land. It clipped right between his legs instead.
"Augh-!!" He wheezed.
Powerful thighs were squeezing yours tenfold- his hands flew from your body to cup himself as he continued falling back. You stayed standing, more or less.
You gasped.
"I'm- so sorry-!" You pried your leg out from his and held your hands over your mouth. That was a first.
He groaned through a closed-mouth, eyes screwed shut.
"Mm! H-mmm-mmm-mmn-!" His muscles twitched, seized, and you felt dirty for liking it.
You slowly climbed up next to him as he came down, or at least grew quieter, from the blow.
"I'm sorry..." You repeated, eyes unsure of where to get their fill. Your hand brushed the hair off of his forehead, gentle and slow. You really didn't want him to go, but even you could see now that you were a lot of trouble for very little payoff.
But God, he looked unreal, all squirmy and flexed and half-naked next to you. Your thighs twitched with the need to stimulate yourself.
Bokuto was slowly blowing his breaths out, loosely palming his junk when he began to blink his eyes open, up at your distracted stare.
He laughed. Quiet, at least for his standards- it made you blush.
"You're real cute," He admitted, looking up at the ceiling, "And even though you're the most nervous chick I've ever met--,"
You glanced at his face, frowning.
"And Kuroo is gonna fuckin' kill me whenever he finds out-,"
You wanted to smile, but didn't.
"And you-," He grabbed your nose again and wiggled it, laughing at the way you batted his hand away, "Kneed me in the balls-!"
"-I still. Really. Want to fuck you."
His candid ranting, unfaltering eye contact, charmed you. It would've been romantic if it wasn't so filthy, but it was effective in its own right.
"I want you, too," You said, ultraquiet, staring at his hand in your lap, then at his hips, "I'm just- new."
Bokuto was fully recovered. He sat up, so mindless that you weren't sure if your words were lost on him, and adjusted your body so he could pin you on your back. It was more of a way of telling you that he'd be more intentional this time, taking the lead.
The way he slid, so sure of where to put his weight, his arms, his face, all snug against you was dizzying and impressive. He belonged on top, for sure.
"I can show you. We got all night," He reminded you.
An eager, messy kiss to your cheek made you giggle. It softened him, for a moment.
His groan was a smiley, throaty confession against your neck, "God, your laugh is so cute."
Your violent shiver was scooped up, muffled in his arms as he rolled his hips, slow and teasing, against you.
The quick squeeze of your thighs around him was a reaction to both the intensity there, and the fluttery pleasure of his tongue and teeth, nipping and sucking under your ear.
"Oh-h, my Go-ah--," Got muddled together, bitten into his meaty shoulder in a humiliating whine.
Bokuto couldn't get enough of whatever that was.
He carelessly began making deep, dark bruises all over your neck- with you none the wiser- pressing that soft, tight pussy against his tortured cock. And you filled him up, fueled his dangerous ego with how breathless you were, how your phrases started to lack real words, and pitifully weak squeeze of your legs around him.
"M-mnh," His head rose, meeting that blacked out look in your eyes for only moment before he stole your 7th, 8th, 20th kiss.
He briefly thought about what he was making of you, how nice it would be to be able to fully call you his.
Big palms slid further down, rubbing the warm, worked, inside part of your thighs while he sat up to take a good look at you. You already looked like his little whore. He soaked the image up, just like how you admired how unreal he looked, sitting hot and bothered and hard between your thighs.
"I can make you feel soo much better," He heard himself promise in a far-off sigh.
You were still shy, but the curiosity was finally shining through.
"What did you have in mind?"
You even let him push your shirt off, since he was so slow and nice about it, and you tried not to shiver under his hands.
He held a sharp, nasty smirk, a false hum on his breath. You weren't stupid, you knew what he was trying to accomplish by wiggling to his stomach.
Despite wanting it real bad, your hands covered your burning face to try to calm yourself down.
He sang, "I've been told that I have a big tongue."
You were prepared to laugh at him. Your curiosity got the better of you-- you peeked through your fingers and realized he wasn't kidding. The tongue he stuck out for you was wide, and flat. A barely-there whimper died in your throat.
"I'll be slow," Thick fingers liberated you of the soaked material, his cock twitching at the sight of your pretty pussy.
As he pocketed his more-than-earned keepsake, he was briefly able to palm away some of the ache.
He kept his voice sugary-sweet, "Buuut you should tell me what you like."
Big, muscular shoulders pushed up against the back of your thighs and you couldn't look- you had to squeeze your eyes shut, head towards the ceiling, instead.
A big flinch as he added, one final thought, "If you can."
He swirled waves and waves of pleasure into you with his gentle tongue. It was a kind of delicate act you hadn't been sure he could deliver on, but his skill was a gratifying surprise.
"Oh-h," Your thighs twitched against your will.
Bokuto was the type of guy to take his ability to make you feel good very seriously.
He was the kind to get a little too into some article thread about Misogyny and its Complicated Relationship with Sex, then make it his secondary goal to be more 'attentive' from that exact moment on. A hasty, incomplete, but well-intentioned effort shaping his sexual habits, his unique views, super-charged with his need to 'be the best.'
The webs of his fingers filled with the front of your thighs, firm, with groan at how you rolled your hips up into his mouth.
It swirled into the horrible regulation of his self-esteem, at some point.
Similar to his night-and-day approach to volleyball, and made it impossible for him to fuck up in bed without feeling guilty, or like he was 'bad' at sex. That's why he was so experienced. Women usually didn't want to stay with a guy who took their lack of pleasure that personally- it was an ick.
With you, there was less pressure. He only understood this in a limited way.
"A-ah, yes- just like th-at," Your fingers found his frosted tips, pulling at the darker, softer roots.
His hips sank harder into the mattress, a broken groan at your declaration. He was good? The notion needed to be checked, so he glanced up at you.
He caught your cute, twisted expression. A smug smile flashed under his swirling tongue at how you covered your face again.
You gasped, hot with embarrassment, "Mmh- fuck, don't--,"
Yeah, he was doing well. He sucked a soft kiss to your clit and got a strong squeeze in return.
He wondered how loud he could get you. If he could somehow let every guy downstairs know that you were off limits, not just because you were Kuroo's sister, but because he was up here making you feel this good.
Most of his touches had been noticeably rough, and rushed, and a bit too excitable up to this point.
But he had no urgency between your legs. No desire to move to the next thing.
There was more pressure as he slid his tongue further down, towards your entrance, then a lighter, more fluttery feeling the closer he got to your clit.
It was a kind of method that reminded you that you were not the first, and you probably wouldn't be the last, to get eaten out by this big hunk.
As concerning as it was, Bokuto simplified your thoughts with a careful and practiced pleasure.
You wanted him.
This was worth stooping down a level for. You wanted to feel his lips again, his touch, his hold, and you were sure that you could shoulder the burden of not being exclusive, or whatever payment had to come with it.
He was funny, and kind, and sweet. He had already showed you so much about your own body. You didn't want him to go and you didn't want to stop. You couldn't stand not knowing, anymore.
"A-after- tonight-- ahh-," You gasped at the way he held your free hand, sandwiching it between his palm and your own hip. There was a sting at your eyes, "Can we- mmh, see each other again?"
It took a full minute for him to register what you said, then what you meant, then what you implied.
His mean, strong suck to your clit was more of a punctuation, because he quickly climbed over you-- an intense, stormy look in his naturally wide eyes.
You were panting, slower to react, in the absence of his mouth.
"You thought I was gonna ditch you after this?"
You blinked the burn away, thighs flexed and trembly as he affixed his weight back on top of you.
Even he could tell you were bothered by the idea. Struggling with it, maybe, for a while. He realized you weren't going to say yes or no.
"I'm not a monster," He glanced around your pretty face, pained, that you thought so low of him, "You know that, right?"
He wanted to be your first, then the second, third, and so on. He didn't think that far ahead, but he knew with certainty that he wouldn't stop craving you after just one night.
"Baby, you're not gettin' rid of me," His quick, fervent pecks across your troubled face sent you into a surprised, delighted laughter.
He giggled with you, big arms scooping around you as he caught a ticklish part of your neck in messy kisses.
"Mm-mm! Noooo, you're not!"
Your laughter, happy, unrestrained, was music to his ears.
His mind was everywhere. Half-focused on those sensitive spots that he needed to remember for later, half-focused on how badly he wanted to tear you apart.

ᡣ𐭩 Period Sex . • ° . * : r. cameron
synopsis -- what the title suggests.
warnings -- 18+-mdni, smut (unprotected piv), period sex, fluff, yuh
main masterlist(s) | taglist | wc: 1.1k
"Rafe, wait," you say reluctantly, pushing your boyfriend's eager hands away despite your body's protest. Your stomach flutters with desire, but those warnings from your friends echo in your mind.
"Come here, baby," he murmurs against your skin, his lips trailing down your neck in that way that makes you shiver. His touch is gentle but persuasive. You bite your lip, torn between want and worry.
"But... isn't it bad to do it during...you know?" you stammer, thinking of all those posts you've read online. "I mean, everyone says you're not supposed to..."
Rafe gives a soft laugh, propping himself up on one elbow, his eyes warm with desire. "Don't worry about what everyone else says. I just want you." His fingers trace light patterns on your arm. "Whatever you're comfortable with."
Your body tingles with need as his words sink in, and you realize maybe those rumors were just that - rumors. His confidence is reassuring, easing your hesitation.
You take a deep breath, your cheeks flushing. "Okay... but we need towels first." Your voice comes out barely above a whisper. "And promise you won't make fun of me if it gets messy?"
Rafe's expression softens, and he presses a gentle kiss to your forehead. "Hey, look at me." He tilts your chin up until your eyes meet his. "I'd never make fun of you. Not about this, not about anything."
"Dark towels," you insist, trying to sound firm despite your nervousness. "And maybe... um... more than one?"
"Already on it," he says, slipping off the bed. You watch him disappear into the bathroom, returning moments later with an armful of navy towels. There's something sweetly serious about how carefully he arranges them, making sure everything's perfect for you. It makes your heart flutter in a different way than before.
"Better?" he asks, and you nod, pulling him close again. Your earlier hesitation melts away under his careful attention, replaced by a growing certainty that this is exactly what you want.
Rafe's touch is insistent, his lips whispering against your skin, "We'll be careful, baby. It'll feel so good. You know you want to."
You know you shouldn't, but his words ignite a fire in your belly, and you find yourself nodding, a silent consent. Rafe's eyes darken with desire as he pulls you closer. His hands explore your body with a mix of urgency and adoration. You surrender to the sensations, your worries melting away.
His touch is gentle yet demanding, leaving trails of fire wherever he roams. You feel a deep, primal connection as he worships your body, his breath hot against your skin.
The warnings of your friends seem distant now, drowned out by the pulse of pleasure that consumes you.
Rafe's every touch, kiss, and murmur draws you deeper into a world of exquisite sensation, where the only reality is the heat building between you.
"You're so beautiful," he murmurs against your skin. His hands slide down your sides, fingers hooking into the elastic of your underwear. You tense slightly, remembering.
"Wait," you whisper, face burning. "I need to... um..." You gesture vaguely downward, embarrassed.
"Let me," he says softly, understanding in his eyes. You close your eyes, mortified, as he gently removes your tampon and wraps it discretely in tissue. When you peek at him, his expression hasn't changed - still just love and desire.
"See? Nothing to worry about," he reassures you, kissing your inner thigh. His fingers dance lower, teasing and exploring. You gasp as he finds sensitive spots, giving your clit a few flicks; your body responds eagerly despite your lingering self-consciousness.
Rafe enters you slowly, carefully, allowing you time to adjust. The feeling is intense - a delicious fullness mingled with a twinge of discomfort that quickly fades. You breathe deeply, relaxing into the sensation as Rafe begins to move, the extra slickness making everything feel even more intense.
His thrusts are measured at first, building a steady rhythm. The heat between you intensifies every movement. You wrap your legs around him, pulling him deeper. A low groan escapes Rafe's throat as he increases his pace.
You can't help but notice the softness of skin against skin, the smoothness of sweat-slicked bodies gliding against each other, the grasp of fingers digging into flesh.
Everything feels heightened, more intense than usual - your body extra responsive to every touch, every movement.
Your fingers dig into Rafe's shoulders as he drives deeper, hitting just the right spot with each thrust.
A moan escapes your lips, overwhelmed by how sensitive you are. "There?" he asks breathlessly. You nod frantically, beyond words. He focuses his attention there, driving you wild. The pressure builds exquisitely as he works you closer to the edge.
"God, you're amazing," he breathes against your ear, his voice thick with desire. "Thank you for trusting me like this, baby." His words send shivers down your spine as he continues his steady rhythm. "You feel so good, so perfect."
Your inhibitions long gone in the heat of your shared passion, Rafe captures your mouth in a searing kiss, swallowing your cries of pleasure.
The slick warmth between you—your blood and arousal—intensifies every sensation. You arch your back, meeting Rafe's increasingly urgent movements, amazed at how every touch seems to set your nerve endings on fire. His hand slides between your bodies, fingers circling your most sensitive area with practiced skill. Sparks of pleasure radiate through you, building toward an exquisite crescendo.
"That's it," he encourages between ragged breaths, his movements growing more intense. "Let go for me, beautiful. I've got you."
The pulsing inside you triggers your own release. You cry out, trembling and clinging to Rafe as wave after wave of pleasure washes over you, each crest higher than the last.
Rafe's breathing grows ragged, his rhythm faltering as he nears his peak. With a few final, deep thrusts, he tumbles over the edge, groaning your name.
Afterward, he holds you close, pressing gentle kisses to your temple as your breathing slowly returns to normal.
Without a word, he gets up and returns with a warm washcloth and a tampon. He tenderly cleans you both and, with surprising gentleness, helps insert the new tampon for you—an intimate act that makes your heart swell with affection for his thoughtfulness.
"You good?" he asks softly, disposing of everything before sliding back into bed. You nod, feeling overwhelmed by how carefully he's taken care of you. He pulls you against his chest, nuzzling into your hair.
"See?" he murmurs. "Nothing to be nervous about." You smile, feeling completely at peace in his arms, grateful for his patience and understanding. As you drift off to sleep, you wonder why you ever worried in the first place.

LECTURE INTERRUPTED | s.reid x reader
summary: in which you visit Spencer's lecture, and he's a bit stunned by your visit.
pairing: professor!spencer reid x reader
content warnings: fluff, just pure fluff
word count: 693
a/n: thank you @angellic4l for helping me choose this title! hope you like it!
It was no surprise to anyone that the college auditorium would be packed. The strategically placed lights on the stage left the audience in partial darkness. Spencer arranged his papers on the lectern, an unconscious habit he insisted on doing every time he gave a lecture at the college. The projector behind him displayed a complex graph with lines and dots, representing decades of criminal studies.
“As we can see,” he began, his voice firm and rhythmic. “there is a direct correlation between…”
And then he saw you.
In the middle of the crowd of students, among anonymous and inattentive faces — almost the majority of them. There you were. Sitting in the fourth row, your face illuminated by a smile that he knew was his alone. Her eyes met his, and Spencer felt something he would describe as an internal short circuit.
The silence lasted only two seconds, but for him, it seemed like an eternity. He coughed lightly, trying to regain his rhythm. “How… how can we observe…” he repeated once more, but his voice trembled, and he knew there was no escape.
Someone in the audience laughed softly, a sound that echoed like a bell in his ears. Spencer quickly turned his eyes away from you, fixing them on the graph behind him, but it was too late. He could feel the heat rising from his neck to his ears, and the numbers on the screen suddenly seemed unintelligible.
“Excuse me,” he said, laughing nervously. “It seems that even statisticians can lose focus sometimes.”
The audience responded with mild laughter, but Spencer didn't have the courage to look at you again. He knew that if he did, he would forget everything he had planned to talk about — even breathing.
With sweaty hands, he tried to find a foothold as the confusion in his mind intensified. He paused again, taking a deep breath, as if that would dispel the blush that was climbing up his body. His eyes returned to the paper in front of him, but the words seemed jumbled. And he knew who was to blame: you.
He took one last look across the audience, hoping that you were just a mirage in his head. But no. You were still there, in the fourth row, with that indecently charming smile. When your eyes met again, you tilted your head slightly, and Spencer felt as if the ground was about to open up under his feet.
Swallowing dryly, he tried to continue. “As I was saying, there's a correlation… well, a direct correlation between…” he stopped again, the thread of thought unraveling in his head. Muffled laughter began to echo through the auditorium, as the audience began to realize that the reason for their discomfort came from a mysterious woman sitting among them.
“Well, class… we'll continue with the next lesson, right? Don't forget to do your readings for chapters 11 and 12!” the sentence came out hastily, almost as if he had run over it, but he didn't wait to see the reactions. Before anyone could ask any questions, he thanked them briefly and hurried off stage, the timid applause following him as he disappeared through the side curtains.
Backstage, Spencer leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, trying to calm his heart, which was beating faster than usual.
“You ran like you'd just seen a ghost.” His voice came out of nowhere, soft but full of amusement.
He turned around, finding you standing there, still with the same smile that had taken him apart moments before. “You ruined my lecture.” he declared, his voice a mixture of exasperation and embarrassment.
“And it was worth every second!” you replied without hesitation, stepping a little closer.
Spencer shook his head, letting out a short, defeated laugh. “You really don't make it easy, do you?”
“Why would I? Life's more fun that way,” you teased, the glint in your eyes disarming him once again.
Despite his embarrassment, Spencer ended up smiling. “Next time, give a warning before you show up.”
“It would be so funny,” you said, and he knew he was lost.
But, strangely, he didn't care one bit.

DOLL PARTS
Death Island Leon S. Kennedy x reader | 18+ MDNI. DEAD DOVE: DO NOT EAT, KIDNAPPING, DUB CON SEX, SMUT, female reader, age gap, abusive relationship, guilt tripping, Stockholm syndrome, dumbification ig, rough sex, vaginal sex, unprotected sex, choking, creampie, finger sucking, bruises, implied physical violence, internal conflict, teasing, guilt, implied obsessive behavior(Leon) i think, dirty talk, pet names, degradation.
Summary: There is a deep desire to hold onto his past, on the part he is close to lose after every birthday date. And you are perfect for this. For him, to kidnap you is to save that part. Cause life goes on and without him, but yours can’t go on without him now. Of course you don't understand.
notes: this is a mess I fear, but I had a blast writing this tho so idc LOL!!! Also thanks @writingwisterias for letting me bother you with my rambling and my indecisiveness with kidnapper leon(╹◡╹)I don’t condone anything here in real life. :3 uhm, reblogs, asks or comments and any kind of feedback are really appreciated!
tags: @melanchol1cs
Clocks are ticking, not only in real time but in his mind - a disturbing reminder of how at his age Leon wasn’t even able to settle down. Tick - tock. Of course, men can always find a young woman, and two or three times of unprotected sex would be enough to impregnate one. Still, Leon doesn’t believe that applies to him - alcohol is not only a boner killer but also of fertility. Neither does he crave babies, he can be considered a dad to Sherry, also they would only show how time flies. She is enough of a reminder, no need for more.
He found you on the dating app - Sherry suggested he try, as a joke, probably not expecting him to follow the advice.
For him, you looked like a doll. Almost a godsend. Pretty, young, and easy to manhandle. Almost drooled at the prospect of having your legs wrapped around his waist. He should feel guilty or disgusted at the idea to fuck you… at the images of the material of your panties clinging to your hips, wrinkling up with every movement before his fingers would curl under it to tug them down. Right? No-no, he is only 38 years old - at his age men are already bald, Leon is having an easy time here. He has a chance, always had.
While he was unsure what to do, was a simple ‘hello, how are you’ enough for you? Or would it be too simple? Or repulsive? Why is he even worried about that, you probably matched him on accident.
You texted him first, something he didn’t expect from a young woman - even women of his age don’t text him first, they are dry and uninterested. Like sex with them.
“hiii ^^” This forces a smile out of him. Again, three dots appear. “You didn’t swipe me as a mistake, right?:3”
He hesitates, his thumb floats on the digital keyboard for a moment. No, it wasn’t a mistake, still, he needs to gratify his ego. “If it was, would it get you sad?”
“yep, actually, very big big sad!”
That was it. Easy and quick to get closer to you. He expected more obstacles, maybe times changed indeed or you are into older guys. All he needed to do was to open his wallet, be nice enough, and show how a ‘real man’ should treat a woman.
Leon knows a lot about you. He knows too much information - where you live, your college, and where you work. Not in a creep-like way, no-no. You were the one asking him to drive you there. Maybe your youth is the only problem to blame on - you were a chatting box endlessly and easily sharing anything with him, maybe things you should not have to. Somewhat, this only attached him to you.
There are always some subtle hints and hidden alarms, no one usually gives a shit about. Also, understandable, to ask anyone who knows him - hard to find someone with a bad opinion of Leon.
“He is okay”
“A hero. Not everyone is capable of saving the president’s daughter” or a simple shrug.
Outside his work, Leon is… just a guy most of the time. Yes, of course, not the luckiest one with the ladies, but it is unlikely someone would describe him as the type to kidnap a girl. No one understands how middle age crisis is going to be hard to handle, he is pushing 40, surely enough it is already waiting for him at the edge of the doorstep - and Leon had enough of bullshit in his life, a pretty and young woman is the panacea for this. The godsend pill to erase his problems.
And finally.
Finally, the tremendous loneliness will disappear, leaving it behind him like a bad dream. The feeling that everybody in the world is doing something without Leon. He can’t stand this ever-consuming loneliness to spread anymore, today IS the day.
He can let himself be selfish just once. Right?
To reach his goal, there is a small step though, a sacrifice to make. That’s why he set a date, in a good and expensive restaurant too.
And today is the day. This shouldn’t be forgotten. The biggest day. The most important one. No, doesn’t do the justice. The absolutely, positively biggest day, may be the right choice of words for Leon.
On the spot already, waiting for you. This time he isn’t late. That bad habit since 1998, but for once he didn’t struggle with his punctuality - too petulant about what will happen, checking clocks every second. Almost like a goddamn teenager, shifting the weight from one foot to the other on the spot. Nothing can go wrong, he tries to calm himself, there are so many ways to cover your disappearance. Perks of the job.
He didn’t notice how you arrived here too until your perfume brought him to senses. Your face is soft, your eyelashes flutter and you are so untainted. Your younger frame reminds him of himself your age. 21 years old, 1998. When he was at your age he had already witnessed horrors, you don’t realize they still exist. Leon shakes his head, that memory never brings anything good, but today his mood is not ruined and the memory has only strengthened the urge to keep you close.
Leon needs you, untouched by horrors and he knows much better how life can be terrifying.
“You ready?” He flashes a smile, his mood is more upturned than it has ever been - you can’t help yourself, a grin spread across your face too. It is infectious.
“Mmm, I am” you nod, curling your hand around his elbow, to keep yourself closer to him. And he is ready too, god, he has never been so fucking ready in his life.
“Not late this time,” His heart clenches at your words, and he looks into your eyes with a cocked eyebrow - awaiting whatever you came up with. “not like you at all, should I expect a surprise?”
“Maybe, maybe not” He brushes off with a shrug, a smile is still on his lips as you get closer to the car, but he can feel your excitement.
“A ring maybe?” You giggle. He opens the car door for you to get in, you don’t want to let go of his arm.
“A ring? Already?” He says and shakes his head. No, not a ring, but a different surprise. He kisses your lips in a chaste way, hoping you will not try to harp on this topic. “Patience is a virtue, sweetheart, wait for it”
…
After dinner was different. A drop of temperatures and an easy flow of the air, dull lights of the street lamp illuminating your figures, inhaling the air in your lungs for the last time. The street is empty; no drivers, no smell of cigarettes, just you and him. And… silence fell upon you both.
Until his hand presses a tissue around your nose. It is suffocating; your nails dig into the arm, trying to worm out.
“Shhh, sweetheart, easy there” His voice brushes against your ear, soothing and intimate. The one he used when he fucked you. “Don’t make it worse for yourself...”
The warm body pressed against your back and kept you close until your body became pliant in Leon’s embrace on the silent night.
Tied up and unconscious. He is considerate enough to not let you experience the narrow space of the car trunk. With heaviness in his chest and like a scaredy cat, driving to his apartment - guilt shifts to euphoria in no time. You wanted this, no? Why would you stay with him after all? It doesn’t matter anymore. He was successful, finally. It worked. Today is his luckiest day, it should be highlighted on the calendar.
While this is the uncomfortable memory of your last date.
…
Every time you are alone, there are little things to do - you could have done some projects for college, maybe talk to friends and go to clubs. To catch a pretty guy, to have sex in the bathroom of the said club. Or fall in love with a guy of your age. It fills you with love and excitement like your hypothetical phone is going to ring as if you aren’t forced to be in Leon’s apartment.
Leon says you are a doll. Not those plastic bimbo dolls you see on social media with plastic acrylics that are longer than their eyelashes. Those reeks of cheapness by trying to be expensive, Leon has explained the difference to you. You are not Barbie or Bratz, those are ones you’d probably played with in your childhood, for Leon, you are another kind of a doll.
He is the one controlling you, making those dumb rules you’ve never memorized and you aren’t really going to. His grip around you is tight and your skin blooms with darker colors after playing with you.
Pretty, that word lives rent-free in his mind, almost becoming the most used of his. Favorite word. Your presence urges him to dress you up. A glance into the closet, most of it contains dresses and other items he has bought you. To take care of you, Leon almost emptied his wallet entirely for you a lot after getting you. It excites him. Admiring outfits he put you in and the same night, he is the one raising the fabric of your dress - two fingers or a dick inside you are enough to make you busy with moans and squirm.
He loves it, oh, he adores it. And your pussy is the best. It calms him, centers him - being someone’s center of the world is delightful, the only one time of the day in which he doesn’t feel insane. You make him feel sane, on the days when your mouth doesn’t run free.
From your point of view, he looks like he is trying to play house with you. In a wrong way. Playing house didn’t include tears or forced silence. Or forced participation. It should be fun, usually, it had been, at least in your childhood. Leon acts like this is normal like he didn’t just kidnap you during your date and force you to be here. He is still sweet, still spending his money on you (even though he doesn’t care about your preferences now), there is food on the table too. During the dinner, the silence is filled with stories from his work - names of people you don’t know. They don’t know you either, you aren’t the most famous captive girl on the planet after all. This is the bare minimum.
What’s more to ask for? Freedom, you are full of his shit actually, you would have preferred ignorance to be bliss cause his farce makes you feel insane. More unanswered questions flood your mind, they stick to your mind like a leech on the skin after a fresh swim on the summer day. You need to wash away this feeling, the only way is to question him. Right. First, you played nicely, still pitying him and holding him dear to your heart.
“What are you talking about, sweetie?” And a confused expression was his answer. He doesn’t even process what you said, just moves on. This didn’t work. Nothing fucking works here.
Now you prefer to poke those facts at him - like a harsh whiplash, a cold water against his face to bring him back to reality. You shouldn’t live like this alone.
Under your flesh there is a hidden hole filled with turbulent waters, almost tearing you apart - suffocating you with confusion. You wish hatred was the only reason to keep you sane, but the deep affection towards him still emerges like a bad dream. His tired eyes with loving and sweet nothing words come from his mouth, peppering your body and face with kisses when everything is right. The memories of nights with him flash in your mind: he is nice enough not to break you, while your body reacts in natural ways. You get wet, you feel pleasure, and his fingers know just the right spot to make your back arch.
This tears you apart, it confuses you too. Maybe there is something you don’t catch on, something missing. Conditioning? You aren’t a mindless idiot, nor a Pavlovian dog, but your body reacts like one. Maybe that’s a lie to reassure yourself. Still, you can’t drive yourself close to orgasm when he is not home. Your fingers aren’t enough anymore, almost with tears trying to get yourself off. To feel like your own person without him.
But something. Is. Always. Missing. You are incomplete.
…
It is already late, really late. Leon is a busy man, at least his job seems to be really important - so important, that he has always refused to tell you, avoiding the topic like the plague and switching to that honeyed tone, talking to you like a dumb puppy. Maybe it is some government shit job, something dirty - suitable for him.
But when he is late, many hopeful scenarios emerge, the most common is his car crushing to death. Good girls get gifts, their wishes get accomplished also, and they end up in heaven too - Leon told you that and to him, you are a good girl. Corny shit. Could he be right though? What if your wish was heard finally? Then remained trouble in your life would be to get out.
And the same dreams are crushed every time the sound of the car engine goes off, the jiggle of keys reaches your ears. You know it too well, you can recognize these little details and they fill you with dread. The sound of his steps, they are so different from others. The sound of his car doesn’t sound like those outside his house. Maybe you are insane, but everything he does is so recognizable it makes you sick.
And Leon is back.
His face is the only one you see, even in your dreams. There is nothing changeable in it. Light stubble, but still him. Shaved and it is still him. Different cologne. And still him. Leon sickens you, this little play often pushes your buttons, urging you to break this act and get yourself into trouble. Maybe the remains of hope are to blame, maybe Leon would change his mind and stop this.
He plops down on the couch, drawing your attention to him - impossible to ignore, if you did, you wouldn’t stop hearing the end of his complaints. His black shirt strains across his muscular body, the fabric is not shy to outline his big chest. Black suits him, but Leon looks good in everything forcing more dread stir in your chest.
“Finally, home” Leon sighs, his hand creeping up to pull you into his lap, acting unbothered. Your legs straddle his hips, facing him. Don’t forget, you are captive. And this is the part of the routine. He is going to watch those old movies from his childhood, or work silently(maybe he will nudge his cock inside you, to keep himself warm) and then he will fuck you. A tearful routine.
“…yay..!” You try to smile, forcing it to please him. Ignoring conflicting feelings in your body, anticipation to feel his dick mixed with dread. A yearning for change. Leon kisses your forehead.
His blue eyes feel heavy on your face, making you feel so little. “I missed you” Leon cooed with a honeyed tone, pulling you even closer. That light smell of beer coming from him forces your skin to crawl. His fingers pinch your cheek, tugging it briefly too. “My doll felt lonely today, right? Without me?”
Again, that mocking sweetness. The one you’d use for puppies. You nod with a hum “Mmm”
“I had a bad bad day today, those reports dried my eyes, god” he groans, his head tipped back, rubbing his eyes as to emphasize his words. But still gripping your waist. You don’t have the mood to be nice to him, his smile and relaxed expression stir dread and hate towards him. And yourself.
“You look like you had a bad day and not me” Leon comments, raising an eyebrow before his thumb tugs on the corner of your lips - smile. You had a bad day forever, your day can’t be compared to whatever he had today. His voice is sweet, but condescending, like he knows what is better for you. Leon doesn’t know shit.
“I don’t think you have reasons to be upset, huh? Your life is easy, baby” He snaps his fingers. Like an order. “pretty smile for me, no one likes grumpy girls”
“You are fucking sick… you know that?” Words spill out quickly and mindlessly, ignoring his distorted expression - you just want him to be in pain. Like you are. There is a hint of fear in your voice, subconsciously aware of what is going to happen after your words. “… you KIDNAPPED ME and you want me to play along with this act?…” A bittersweet pause. Adrenaline rushes through your blood, like after a good shot of vodka. “That’s fucking smart… asshole”
A hard swallow, trying to ignore the growing lump in your throat. Anxiety. This time, your voice is much quieter, you feel so small. Involuntarily shrinking away to shield yourself from what is coming. “I hate you”
There is an uncomfortable silence and his face is not blurry anymore - it is the only thing you can see right now. There is no slap, which is worse, silence is much scarier than a reaction cause you need to know what is going on in his head. You should have stayed silent instead, maybe Leon was right - you can’t stop but back talk and try to get yourself into trouble. You got yourself into this, not him.
Maybe an apology… wouldn’t it be late? Would it save? God, you MESSED this up. There is no way back.
His eyebrows furrowed, looking down at you with a clear discontent painting on his face, his fingers digging into the flesh of your cheeks - uncomfortably keeping you still. This time being pretty and batting your eyelashes like a dumb doll is not going to save you.
“You are so spoiled. No one likes ungrateful bitches like you” Leon shakes his head, not giving a space to you to talk back again. “I buy you pretty things, I spend my time and money on you… and you repay me like that?”
He tilts your head, the grip is bruising, almost. Leon doesn’t give you flowers, but bruises look like them quite enough. His words hit you like a slap, making you feel like there is something tremendously wrong with you, not with him.
“Is it so hard to play nice and stay pretty for me?” He adds with a raised eyebrow. His thumb caresses your lower lip, playing and tugging it down, before pushing the digit past your soft and tender lips.
“And quiet.” He tsked, feeling warm saliva clinging to his thumb as it pressed down onto your tongue. Lucky for Leon, one of his wishes is accomplished - you can’t really talk, only muffled words, while your mouth is occupied with his digit. He keeps the grip on your jaw, before replacing it with two fingers. Pointer and middle finger. You are so pretty when you keep your mouth shut or around his fingers. Or dick. The latter is much preferable.
Your mouth is always warm, inviting, and wet. Hard to hide how such act affects you, your breathing catches in your chest, as his fingers keep rubbing the front of your tongue - messy and slick, not wetter than your cunt right now. Your mouth can not be compared to your pussy though, it has much more pros than disadvantages, the only con is the lack of wetness sometimes. Not something unfixable at the end of the day, a spit or lube (if he is in a good mood) can fix anything.
Your eyes are closed, feeling his other hand keeping your head pointed up where he can see you. To be honest, you don’t really know if you are just trying to illude yourself and hide from the truth - both options are useless, they bring you back to him. Every time his fingers are in your mouth, keeping you quiet and forcing you to suck on them - your pussy gets wet quickly like it is connected to your throat. His fingers delve deeper, moving in and out slowly. You can’t help yourself. Your clit throbs uncomfortably, urging you to do something about this, and your inner walls flutter around nothing - your mind reminds you of how good his dick feels. You probably look so pitiful to him, your eyes reflect well what your body begs for while drooling around his fingers.
Your thighs try to snap close, to rub them together and get that sweet-sweet stimulation, but they end up straddling his hips tighter - feeling the outline of his hard cock press against the damp and thin material of your underwear. It isn’t a big obstacle right now, the burning heat can be felt easily. A choked whine escapes from your mouth, realizing that his pants are still on him.
“Uh-huh, you want my attention?” Leon asks, not trying to be subtle with his tone, laced with mocking sweetness. His fingers leave your mouth with a wet pop, leaving a trail of droll connecting you both. It is so empty without him filling your senses. His eyebrows curl up, glaring down on you like at kicked puppy. He mocks you, another squirming heat crawls in your cunt. Embarrassingly wet, dripping, and staining his jeans with your slick. God, you ARE getting off when he is being patronizing with you. “You ruined my day, baby. Do you really think you deserve anything right now?”
Your mind is screaming at you to do something, you need that relief. His cock. Anything that will fill the emptiness inside you with pleasure. You shiver when his fingers brush across the hem of your underwear, clearly amused by how wet you are. They push aside the fabric, already wet by your saliva - slowly stroking your drenching folds. So warm and puffy, even the light touch of his fingers on your clit makes your body jolt like you are in pain.
“Leon…” Your voice sounds cloying, it goes straight to his hard dick, as you look under your eyelashes at his face - it makes you feel dumb. Any sentences or words are thrown away into the bin under his glare, he doesn’t even try hard to make you feel like that, there is no need cause you are dumb. And you ache for his cock, ignoring alarms in your head. You are just a dumb, aching doll.
And his. He told you that.
“What?” Leon pressed, already withdrew his fingers from your cunt, wanting to see you more desperate. Your hips try to grind against his hard cock, to get a light stimulation. You stay silent, words aren’t enough to formulate what swirls in your mind. Somewhat, his presence and words are always tied to that deep feeling of owing him something. What? Not clear, but it is still here, even if his cock empties your mind.
You are still his after the dramatics you pulled, right?
You swallow hard, the sight of his unmoving hand on the belt makes your cunt painfully ache, ignoring your mind screaming at you to hit him. You don’t deserve this, it whispers. The guilty part of your brain won a long time ago, it overwhelms that soothing reminder - canceling it completely - you need to hurry up him. You are at fault, it whispers. “…Please…” Forgive me, I need you.
You gasp as in rasp motion he changes your position, shoving you and you end up with your back pressed down flatly on the soft material of the couch, while Leon hovers over you. And he kisses your forehead, with the same tenderness and affection he has given you before - like a couple, married couple on honeymoon. Your mind misses the bullseye with this conclusion, but whatever helps, right? The spot burns hot, as a reminder that you have to please him.
Clink-clink! It snaps you out of your thoughts. The sound of his belt makes your skin crawl, and more slick pools in between your thighs like at the unvoiced command. You try to buck your hips up, only to end up restrained by his hand - it grips tightly your flesh, in a bruising hold, and the signs will bloom into another purplish collection in the morning. His hand pins your hips down, - silently denying the control over your pleasure. Couldn’t be even wetter at this point.
It isn’t really visible, but his breathless sigh signaled you that his hand is, probably, wrapped around his cock. You squirm, to prop yourself to look down and maybe get comfier - again, he pushes you down with a head shake.
Your legs shake when his cock presses up in between your drenching folds, the slick clings to the skin, and his cock head nudges against your aching clit. And this hits so good too, his hard cock slides across your cunt. You can’t help but let your hips buck up back, again - to get your own control on the pleasure. Tsk. Your attempt gets easily interrupted again, as his hand pushes your hips down. His cock gets harder after every slow and agonizing rut, the wet sounds of your slick pressing and smearing his cock is like music to his ears. No wonder it is so easy to get lost, thank god your attempts to worm out of his grip snap him out of that pleasure.
You are so impatient. But for Leon, sex is so much simpler, cause he is a simple man. With age many things change, they get uncomplicated. Of course, Leon likes good stuff; tasty good, keeping you pretty, watching how your tits bounce with every thrust and feeling your flesh under his hands, how you react to him. But the sex isn’t the lovemaking or a way to satisfy you, for him, it would be useless to keep you here then. There is a deep desire to hold onto his past, on the part he is so close to lose touch with after every birthday date. And you are perfect for this. Life goes on and without him, but yours can’t go on without him now. Every time he sees you so confused, depending on him - he can’t lie, it makes his cock jolt. He wants to see every little expression on your face, - desperation, affection, confusion, misery, everything - to etch the sight into his memory.
“Baby, you don’t know what’s good for you..” Leon says, there is no answer from you and he doesn’t really need one. His eyes are focused on his cock nudging your hole before slowly pressing in - now watching your spasming and drenching hole swallows his cock. And you gasp.
Without fingers, without any preparation, but wet as hell, you still feel tight as sin. It is easier to get through though. The velvet softness of your fluttering cunt is addicting as your walls clench around him in a vice grip with every inch pushed inside.
It is dizzying how your mind empties together with your body, any remains of conflict regarding this situation is gone. Focusing on how his cock stretches your walls, leaving you breathless and trembling at the slow-filling sensation in your cunt. Your hands creep to rest on his shoulders to keep yourself steady.
His cock pushes through, until its tip presses against your cervix - he is deep inside, his hips nestled right against your ass - and your pussy is so overwhelmingly full, for a moment you forgot how to breathe.
“That’s okay” Leon cooed again. His hand brushes across the skin of your collarbone, caressing it. Burns and you are hot, to the point his touch felt cold. You shiver, his hand is always pleasant to feel, but at the same, the feeling of it is accompanied by something else, you can’t ever catch it. It is brief but always gives you awareness.
Your chest rises up and down unsteadily, looking probably pathetic right now as his hips start moving. Already overwhelmed without a way out.
“Awww, you are just a dumb thing, not knowing anything better” Leon drawls with an amused smirk.
The pace is set, rhythmically rocking against you, using your cunt like a toy. You want to roll your own hips back, to do something but today isn’t your day. You already forgot about your earlier lash-out, as the only sounds reaching your ears are flesh-hitting ones mixed with your moans. His lips are parted on a soft stream of pants.
“N-no..” This attempt of protest slips out easily from your mouth, without giving too much thought into what may happen. Your nails dig into the flesh of his shoulders. His hand creeps higher, to rest on your neck in a loose grip, a silent warning perhaps. Pretty faces don’t need to do anything other than being pretty, but tonight you let your mouth slip out too often.
The hand on your hip pushes it down again, the grip hurts actually. Feels like there are already bruises forming and he is clearly not pleased with you. He isn’t at all, your comments ruin his fun. They distract him from your tight pussy, how hot it is, and engulf him, begging him to thrust ruthlessly and fill you.
Unspoken rule, you should be silent and let him use your cunt without other noises than incoherent moans.
“Oh, no-no” Leon mocks you, a sharp, unexpected thrust, his cock head grinds against your cervix. To punctuate his words his grip on your throat tightens. Or you are imagining this? Another thrust, snapping you out of your thoughts. His hips start dragging his cock out of you, then he pushes it back deep inside. “I know what’s better for you.”
Every deep thrust into your spasming cunt, your thighs shake, and muscles in your body flex every time your hips connect. And his hand squeezes your throat, you can clearly feel the outlines of his fingers on the skin of your throat. God, is the grip getting tighter? Is he trying to cut the air? This fills your body with panic; it writhes even more, ignoring the painful grip on your hip and becoming more aware of the one that’s getting tighter around your neck.
Yeah, he is angry at you.
“Doll, you brought this… on yourself” Leon whispers breathlessly, watching your expression twist with a mix of pleasure and fear. Your hands travel from his shoulders to his wrist, nails dig into its flesh. “don’t resist”
His hand angles your hip better, losing the rhythm of the pace as his cock pounds into you in quick and deep thrusts. It hits your g-spot too, but the lack of air is the biggest of your worries right now. Your cunt flutters, getting tighter with the less air incoming, and more tingly wave of sensation rides over your body. The tips of your fingers feel weird, and your entire body starts to drown in numbness. It is weirdly pleasant but at the same time scary. Deep down you like it, not realizing it.
“Come on,” Leon grunts, his grip on your neck doesn’t lessen, and you try to focus on something else other than the possibility of passing out. Your walls clench around his dick tighter, and your mouth opens uselessly as a dumb fish trying to speak, but the only sound coming out is a muffled one.
“If you are so smart… fuck…” He moans, you feel so good, your walls clenched tight around his dragging cock and your body is so easily letting him use your pussy. He can get drunk on it. “…use your big mouth”
His grip tightens, and another choked moan tries to drawl out of your mouth. Nothing comes out other than a quiet, pathetic mewl. It feels like you are going to die.
“Use your filthy and smart mouth” He taunts again, the corner of his mouth curls into a smirk. His hips thrust into you in rough and hard movements. It feels like just his presence is overfilling you. Maybe the lack of oxygen is to blame. “or you can only use it for my dick.. huh? Like a whore, not a doll”
“A…m, S-s” I am sorry. You try your best, but it is hard to do multitasking when your head is so lightheaded and his dick inside you feels so good. Your body feels numb like it doesn’t belong to you anymore, writhing and squirming every time his cockhead hit your cervix - a pang of tingling mixture, something so new and pleasurable, but at the same time foreign, with the hint of pain. But it is a delicious kind of hurt, toe-curling one.
You are going to pass out, trying to swallow down the saliva pooling in your mouth and your nails dig into the skin of his bicep - begging, unawarely your eyes sprinkle with tears. “S-..sor-r—” This is your best attempt.
Orgasm has always been different with him, it is warm, still keeping your turmoil. This time it is crushing, but feels shorter than it was actually. It hits your body unexpectedly, filling to the brim with the feeling of his cock spouting cum inside you, while every patch of your skin is numb and burning hot.
Confusing your mind more when his hand slipped away, so close to pass out and the quick rush of air fills your lungs almost choking you, overwhelming the pleasure of your own orgasm. You are so sensitive, at the brink of tears - not having any strength to keep them in, they easily well in your eyes, blurring even more the vision before rolling down. It doesn’t hit like it should cause you are too focused on the fading numbness and shaking while inhaling the air - unreasonably afraid(to Leon) that he is going to take it away again. Breathing feels much better than sex, right now at least.
He pulls out his dick, and his cum slowly oozes out of your hole, while you are still recovering. Not hiding where his gaze is directed. It is hypnotizing, urging him to shove it back into you with his fingers and keep his cum inside you for a little bit longer. You snap him out of this trance with your sobbing and incoherent words.
“I am so—sorry!” You sob, tugging onto the fabric of his black shirt to pull him closer to you. Seeking comfort in him, you don’t have any other options. He can’t deny this to you, his arm wraps around your shoulders. And even if you had other choices, still you would crawl back to Leon. “I was mistaken… I am so-so sorry. It was a mistake!”
God, you shake like a leaf right now. He huffs as if your words were the most obvious thing. Like the sky is blue or two plus two is four. It is hard to push you away, the trembling and teared-up mess. Leon enjoys that.
“There you are, baby. I got it” Leon sighs, the crease in between his eyebrows deepens. His hand brushes away your hair from your face, to get a better glance of your state. Mistake. Everything is a mistake here - your presence, getting off only of him, texting him first, and letting him take you on dates. Leon can’t help, but chuckle. “Of course. Indeed a mistake, doll”

Chapter summary: You and Frankie hash out the details of your fabricated story, all while enduring the blatant betrayal of your own cat and your brother’s relentless teasing. WC: 8.4K

Your comments mean the world to me—I absolutely love reading them, and I hope you love this part just as much <3 let me know what u think ;) Don't forget to lmk if u want to be added to the tag list, and follow capuccinodollupdates for notifications <3
Friday, August 9th. One day before the party.
Your phone buzzed on the nightstand, the sound breaking the quiet of your bedroom. You set your book down, its pages splaying open across the blanket, and rolled onto your side to grab your phone. The screen lit up.
[Unknown number]: Outside.
You exhaled sharply, a breath that sounded louder than it needed to. Your stomach twisted, a faint ripple of nerves spreading through you.
Five minutes later, Frankie stood in the center of your living room, his hands planted firmly on his hips. His brows were drawn together, his expression impatient as he watched you move around the kitchen. The faint smell of tea leaves and honey filled the air as you poured hot water into your mug.
“You don’t seem to be in much of a rush,” he said finally, his voice carrying the faintest edge of irritation.
You glanced at him briefly, your hand stirring the tea as if to say he could wait.
“What’s the rush? The party isn’t until tomorrow.”
Frankie didn’t answer right away. Instead, he looked around the room, his eyes flicking to the books stacked on the coffee table, the blanket draped haphazardly over the arm of the couch, the quiet clutter of a space lived in but not always tidy. He shifted his weight, his boots scuffing lightly against the floor, the impatience practically radiating off him.
You blew on your tea, meeting his gaze over the rim of your mug.
“You look like you’re about to explode. Sit down, you’re making me nervous pacing around like that,” you said as you walked past him, your hand cradling the warm mug. “Are you sure you don’t want anything to drink?”
Frankie hesitated for a moment, then dropped into the couch across from you. He ran a hand through his already messy hair, making it stick up at odd angles.
“What do you have that isn’t hot?”
You settled into the couch, the mug resting on the coffee table in front of you. The surface was cluttered with your used stickynotes, a few receipts, coasters, and an old pen you didn’t remember leaving there.
“Water, iced tea, a couple of cans of soda.”
Frankie leaned back, only to be interrupted by Mr. Darcy, your perpetually attention-seeking cat. The tabby appeared from the side of the couch, his soft meow high-pitched and delicate as he rubbed himself against Frankie’s leg. You frowned, betrayed.
Frankie leaned down, his hand immediately stroking the cat’s fur, and Mr. Darcy responded with a loud purr.
“What kind of soda?”
You rolled your eyes.
“Sorry, I didn’t know my guest was royalty. Next time, send a list of your preferences in advance, princess.”
He lifted his head and rested his elbows on his knees, leaning closer with an expression that was almost amused. Almost.
“I just asked what fucking flavor. Relax.”
“Coke.”
“I’ll take one.”
You stood with an exaggerated sigh, letting it linger in the air, but refrained from commenting on his lack of manners. The word please seemed allergic to his vocabulary, but you didn’t feel like pointing it out. Not today.
When you returned, you set the can of Coke down on the glass coaster on the table and took your seat again. Frankie reached for the drink, his fingers brushing the cold metal as he popped it open. The hiss of carbonation filled the quiet, mingling with the soft hum of Mr. Darcy’s purring at his feet.
“Okay, tell me about them,” you said, your tone clipped and businesslike, as if the two of you were about to negotiate the terms of a merger. You folded your hands neatly on your lap and fixed your gaze on him. Frankie, meanwhile, was focused on the can of Coke he’d just opened. He tilted it to his lips, taking a long sip. The way his throat moved as he swallowed made you glance away, irritated for no good reason.
When he finally set the can down on the coaster, he looked up at you.
“My mother’s name is Helena. She’s kind, easygoing. And observant. She’ll be watching us like a hawk the entire time. She already has her doubts about... all this.” He gestured vaguely, as if to encompass the entirety of the situation. “So we can’t get sloppy.”
You leaned back, crossing your arms over your chest.
“That’s going to be difficult, don’t you think?”
“Well, you’ll have to cooperate.”
You scoffed, an expression of mock offense crossing your face.
“I have to cooperate?”
“Yes. You.”
“Believe it or not, Francisco,” you said, leaning forward ,“I’m very nice. Easy to get along with. Mothers adore me.”
Frankie raised an eyebrow, his lips twitching like he was suppressing a laugh.
“That may be,” he said, his tone skeptical. “But I can’t risk even one slip in this... circus. If we let our mutual... our mutual thing show, she’ll catch on immediately. Believe me.”
You mirrored his arched eyebrow, matching his energy.
“Fine. Just be nice to me, and I’ll be nice to you. I promise.” You let the words hang for a moment, watching as he relaxed just slightly, the tension in his shoulders easing. Then you added, sweetly, “I just want you to remember, at all times, that no matter how nice and lovely I am, it’s all a lie.”
Frankie leaned back, his lips quirking into a faint smirk. “Noted.”
The he exhaled heavily, rolling his eyes as if to physically expel his frustration. His hand moved to his neck, fingers brushing the skin in an absentminded gesture, like he was trying to ground himself. Mr. Darcy, ever the opportunist, leapt onto the couch beside him, his sleek tail flicking against Frankie’s arm. The cat’s head butted into him in what looked like a gentle plea for attention. You watched the scene for a moment, torn between amusement and suspicion, your lips pressed into a thin line.
“Just get a grip, okay? You can’t react to everything I say like it’s a personal attack.”
You arched an eyebrow, leaning back slightly with your cup in hand.
“And what about you?”
“What about me?” He leaned forward again, his elbows resting on his knees, his hands clasped tightly together like he was preparing for some kind of intervention.
“You have to behave yourself too. Sometimes, you don’t even realize how nasty you’re being. Maybe it flies under the radar for most people, but if your mom is as observant as you claim—and she’s your mother, so obviously she knows you well—she’s going to pick up on all those little micro-attitudes. Immediately.”
You delivered the last word like a verdict, your tone carrying the weight of someone speaking to a particularly stubborn child. To your surprise, Frankie didn’t argue. Instead, he nodded slowly, his expression calm, even thoughtful.
“Yeah. I can do that.”
“Good,” you replied, watching him carefully as you lifted your cup to your mouth, the faint steam curling around your face. You let the warm liquid sit on your tongue, satisfied—for now—that you might have just come to an agreement with the most impossible person you’d ever met.
Frankie began describing his family in broad strokes, filling in the blanks with enough detail that you felt as if you were piecing together a portrait of his life. You listened intently, committing everything to memory like a student preparing for a crucial exam.
Helena, his mother, was the first to come up. She was fifty-nine, a literature teacher with a reputation for being kind but quietly persuasive. Frankie mentioned that she had a particular way of asking questions that felt more like peeling back layers than making polite conversation. She still lived in Austin, sharing a house with his youngest sister, Maia, ever since his father passed away almost two years ago. That detail hung in the air for a beat longer than the others, but he moved on quickly.
Luna, his oldest sister, was next. She was forty, an interior designer based in Boston, and from Frankie’s tone, it was clear she had a strong presence in the family. “Kind, funny, a little overbearing,” he said, his mouth twitching slightly, as if recalling an incident that perfectly illustrated her character. She was married to Henry, a wealthy architect fifteen years her senior. Frankie made a point to say that Henry was a good man—honest and big-hearted—and seemed to mean it. Together, they had a ten-year-old son named Jamie.
Sofía came next, the middle sister. She was thirty-eight and owned a flower shop. Frankie described her as friendly and warm but also hinted at a guardedness beneath her cheerful exterior. She lived in Austin with her sixteen-year-old daughter, Grace, a name that carried an air of quiet reverence when he said it. You wondered what Grace was like, if she carried more of her mother’s warmth or her uncle’s sharp edges. For the sake of her, you hoped for the first option.
Finally, there was Maia. Twenty-nine, a graphic designer, and still living at home with Helena. Frankie hesitated before speaking about her, his expression shifting slightly. “Of all of them,” he said, almost reluctantly, “she’s the most complicated.” Not because she was difficult or unpleasant—quite the opposite. Maia, he explained, was the kind of person who could see through walls, so perceptive it was almost unnerving. “She’ll figure us out if we’re not careful,” he warned, his tone heavy with certainty.
By the time he finished, you felt like you’d been handed a dossier. Each name and detail was a thread you knew you’d need to hold tightly. You nodded as he spoke, mentally sorting the names and faces into a map of relationships you’d need to navigate. This was going to be more than a performance—it was going to be a test.
Frankie exhaled, slapping his palm against his thigh with a finality that felt rehearsed, like he was drawing a line under the conversation.
“That’s it, I think,” he said, his tone flat as his eyes lingered on you.
But you weren’t ready to let him off the hook. Squinting slightly, you folded your arms across your chest and leaned back into the couch.
“And what about you?” you asked, tilting your head as if that might give you a different angle on him.
He raised an eyebrow.
“You know me,” he replied with unearned confidence.
You clicked your tongue against the roof of your mouth, letting the sound punctuate the silence before glancing away. Amusement tugged at the corners of your lips as you brought your gaze back to him.
“I don’t know anything about you. All I know is what little Santi’s told me, what I’ve overheard here and there... that’s it.”
“That’s something,” Frankie interjected, leaning back slightly as he crossed his arms, lifting his chin with a smugness that made your fingers itch to knock him down a peg. “Go on, then. Tell me what you know.”
His expression dared you, and you met it with a smirk of your own.
“Fine,” you said, sitting up straighter and pressing your lips together in mock seriousness. “You’re in your thirties, you live alone, you’re a pilot, you like beer... Oh, and apparently, you can devour a whole burger and fries in under ten minutes.”
Frankie snorted, like he couldn’t quite decide whether to laugh or call you ridiculous. He held your gaze, his dark eyes narrowing slightly as if trying to wait you out. But the smirk stayed on your face, unwavering, and eventually, he sighed.
“I’m thirty-five,” he said finally, his voice measured and calm, as though reciting facts from a resume. “I live alone, yeah. Used to be in the CAG, but I retired a few years ago. Personal reasons. Now I’m teaching pilots-in-training over at the JPA.”
“Oh, right, I already knew that. That’s where you met Santi, isn’t it?”
“Yeah.”
“And what were you doing there? He never told me much.”
“I’ll tell you some other time,” he said, sounding either annoyed or uncomfortable—it was hard to tell. “Do you know what CAG stands for?”
"Tell me."
“Combat Application Group,” Frankie said, his tone steady, measured. “Do you know what that is?”
You arched an eyebrow, shaking your head.
His lips curled into a faint, humorless smile.
“Then they’re doing their job right. They change the name every so often. Some people know it as Delta Force.” He paused, his eyes searching yours, as if testing how much you could handle. “I was part of the CAG for most of my military career.”
For the first time, you found yourself leaning forward, your interest genuine, your usual quips momentarily silenced. Frankie seemed to notice, his expression softening slightly, though the seriousness never left his face.
“Why did you retire? What happened?”
For a fleeting second, his eyebrows twitched.
“Personal issues,” he said again.
You exhaled through your nose, sitting back slightly.
“I’m supposed to be your girlfriend. Shouldn’t I know that?”
He sighed. Shaking his head just enough to let you know he wasn’t budging, he replied:
“No one in my family is going to ask you about it.”
You studied him, your eyes narrowing slightly, searching for any crack in the armor he wore so carefully. But Frankie didn’t flinch. His shoulders remained squared, his gaze firm, the set of his mouth resolute. Whatever lay behind the personal thing was locked away, and it was clear he wasn’t going to hand you the key.
After a few more seconds of silence, you nodded, more to yourself than to him.
"Okay, I get it,” you said with a sigh, letting your gaze fall to your hands resting in your lap. For a moment, you traced invisible patterns on your palm, your tone edging toward resignation. “What do you want me to tell you about me?”
“Nothing. I know enough.”
“Well, that’s reassuring.”
“I’m not trying to be mean. Santi has told me what’s necessary. I know enough to get by.”
“Oh, really? Enlighten me,” you said, folding your arms across your chest, your tone daring.
Frankie gave you a slow, confident smile, as if he’d been preparing for this moment.
“You’re twenty-nine years old. Santi’s your only brother. You studied Literature, and you’ve been running your dad’s bookshop for, what, six years now?” He paused briefly, letting the words settle before continuing. “You like cats. Movies—especially horror movies. You love the cold, which is ironic since you’re from Austin, where it’s basically summer all year. And you’re... well, I wouldn’t describe you as outdoorsy or... or adventurous.”
He glanced at you with a faint smirk just as your expression twisted in a mixture of surprise and mild disgust. His hand dropped to pet Mr. Darcy, who had curled up beside him, purring softly. “Oh, and your cat’s name is Darcy.”
“Mr. Darcy," you corrected him. "Santi told you all that?”
Frankie shook his head, his focus still on your pet, his hand moving in lazy strokes along Mr. Darcy’s back.
“He didn’t tell me outright. But he let it be known. You just have to listen.”
There was something about his tone that irked you—a subtle but undeniable air of superiority, as if he’d decoded your entire existence from a handful of anecdotes. You studied him for a moment longer, debating whether to challenge him further, but Mr. Darcy’s contented purring seemed to deflate your frustration. For now.
“Well, I… Well,” you faltered, unsure of what to say. "Okay, I was thinking, what should I wear to the party?"
“Something nice. Not too fancy. But cute. You know, approachable."
"Sure," you muttered, feeling the weight of his gaze on you as he smoothed a hand over the cat’s fur.
"You have to make a good impression. But not too good. You need to seem... normal. Forgettable, even. Be nice, but don’t go overboard."
"What’s the point, then? I thought my job was to be the awesome girlfriend. Isn’t that what you wanted?"
Frankie leaned back against the couch, stretching his legs out, and gave a slow shake of his head like you’d just said something profoundly silly.
"Yes, but don’t overdo it. I don’t need my family asking me about you for weeks after. Tomorrow’s the first and only time they’ll see you, so what’s the point?"
"What a waste," you whispered to yourself, but loud enough for him to catch. “But fine, your family, your rules. So, what should I bring your mom as a gift?”
Frankie waved his hand dismissively.
"Don’t worry about it. I’ve got that covered."
“So you’ve thought of everything, huh?” you said, letting a touch of mockery creep into your voice. “I didn’t realize this was such a big deal to you.”
Frankie snorted. "If this is what it takes to stop them from setting me up with every woman they know, trust me, I’m going all in. No room for half-measures here."
He scratched his chin thoughtfully, his eyes sweeping over the room, taking in the familiar clutter of your living space, before a long yawn interrupted the silence.
“But why do they even care so much about you having a girlfriend? I mean, I get it—you’re, let’s say, not the easiest person to tolerate, and small talk probably feels like torture for you. But I didn’t have you pegged as the kind of guy who needs his mom to play matchmaker,” you said, voice dripping with just the right mix of sarcasm and curiosity as you tilted your head.
“That’s a bold comment coming from someone who had to invent a fake boyfriend because her ex, who dumped her for someone else, invited her to his wedding.”
Fair. That stung, but you couldn't bring yourself to be genuinely angry. Instead, you let out a small, wry smile, your ego only slightly bruised.
Frankie continued, unfazed by the fact that he had clearly made his point. “And I have no problem getting someone,” he said, stretching his legs out casually. “I just don’t want to. I don’t feel like dating anyone, much less getting romantically involved. But of course, they don’t get that. They think I need to settle down, find a woman, all that ‘commitment’ shit.”
For a brief moment, you let your mind wander, imagining Frankie next to someone. His type, you wondered. What would she look like? Would she resemble you in any way? Definitely not, you thought. You hoped that wouldn’t be a problem.
You cleared your throat, shifting in your seat, and then asked, trying to sound nonchalant, though a part of you was genuinely curious.
“And why don’t you want to date anyone? You’re not one of those guys with an eternal commitment problem, are you?”
Frankie took a moment to think about it. He leaned back, looking almost lost in thought, his eyes distant for a second. Then, in a flash, Mr. Darcy leapt onto his lap, pulling him back into the present moment with his typical disregard for anything that resembled personal space. Frankie shifted a little, adjusting the cat so it was comfortably curled on him.
“My last relationship didn’t end well,” he said suddenly, his voice unexpectedly serious. “We were together for about a year and a half. She broke up with me a little over a year ago. It wasn’t exactly my best moment, but her reason was that I wasn’t what she needed.” He paused, his gaze unfocused for a second, as if reliving the memory. “I tried to tell her I’d make the changes, that I really wanted to, but she didn’t care. So we broke up. And then, like two weeks later, I found out she’d been cheating on me with some guy from work—does that sound good enough for you?”
You blinked, processing it all, and felt a slight pang of sympathy, which you hadn’t expected.
“Well, that sucks,” you said, glancing down at the floor, feeling a bit awkward. You bit your lower lip, then looked back at him, unable to hide the trace of empathy in your voice. “But it makes sense now... I think."
Mr. Darcy, seemingly done with his intrusion, hopped off Frankie’s lap and sprawled on the floor instead, rolling onto his back in that exaggerated, dramatic way cats do when they’re probably overheating. His belly was exposed, a show of complete vulnerability.
"Yeah. Well. I guess," Frankie said, leaning forward as if the weight of his own words had just fully settled in. He rested his elbows on his knees and interlocked his fingers, his hands becoming a tight knot as if trying to physically hold everything together. Then something seemed to click in his mind. He looked up at you, the shift in his expression almost imperceptible. “Have you talked to Santi about this?”
You furrowed your brow, a little thrown off by the question.
"No, I thought you were going to tell him."
Frankie shook his head. "I didn’t tell him anything. I thought you were going to tell him."
You clicked your tongue, trying to shake the odd tension settling in your chest.
"We should tell him, don’t you think?" Your voice was sharper than you intended, but you couldn’t help it. "Although I'm sure he'll think this is a bad idea."
When you opened the door, Santi’s smile appeared instantly, like the sun breaking through clouds. He pulled you into a hug, enveloping you in that unmistakable warmth only a brother could give. It was absurd how much you’d missed him, considering you’d seen him just two days ago. But that was the thing about Santi—he had this way of making you feel like everything was fine, or at least like it could be.
When he let go, his smile lingered. But then his gaze shifted past you, toward the living room, where Frankie stood by the couch, arms awkwardly crossed, caught somewhere between waiting and retreating.
Santi’s expression changed so fast it was almost comical—his smile collapsed into confusion, his eyebrows pulling together, eyes widening like someone had yanked a curtain back too quickly.
“Frankie?” he said, his voice pitching upward in disbelief. “What are you doing here?” His gaze flicked from Frankie to you and back again, his tone laced with the unspoken demand for an explanation. “What happened?” He stepped forward, clapping a hand on Frankie’s shoulder, nudging him as if to make sure he was real.
“Hey, man,” Frankie said, managing a small smile as he accepted Santi’s hug. His voice was casual, but you could feel the tension beneath it, like a thread pulled too tight.
Your stomach knotted, the weight of the moment pressing into you. This was a mistake. You shouldn’t have agreed to Frankie’s deal, not like this, not without more thought. But it was too late to undo it now, wasn’t it? The pieces were already in motion, and there was no way to unring a bell.
Half an hour later, Santiago was sitting in the couch across from the two of you, his arms folded tightly over his chest, his expression shifting between disbelief and reluctant curiosity. He hadn’t spoken in a while, too busy digesting everything you’d just explained. When he finally did, his words cut through the silence like a whip.
“That’s fucking ridiculous. Are you crazy?” he asked, though his incredulous smile suggested he thought maybe you were joking.
You and Frankie were perched on opposite ends of the couch, as if a force field separated you, like your bodies were mutually allergic to the idea of being any closer. Frankie had his arms resting on his knees, his hands clasped together, his gaze fixed somewhere in the middle distance. You sat with your elbow propped on the armrest, your cheek resting against your hand, trying to look nonchalant.
“Do you really think this is going to work?” Santiago asked, shaking his head.
“It’s going to work,” you said, the firmness in your voice at odds with the knot of uncertainty in your stomach. “It’s not that complicated. Harry’s already met Frankie, so that part’s fine. We go to the wedding, stay a little while, and then leave. Tomorrow? Same thing. We show up, I do my forgettable bit, and then we’re out. Easy.”
Santiago raised his eyebrows, unimpressed.
“¿Easy? Your mom knows me, man,” he said, turning to Frankie with an accusatory tilt of his head. “You don’t think it’s going to be complicated if she thinks you’re dating my sister?”
“I’m not planning on telling her she’s your sister,” Frankie said. He sat up straighter, his hands tightening into fists briefly before he relaxed them again. “This is a one-time thing. I promise you, it’s not going to lead to trouble. It’s just a favor. A transaction. Nothing more.”
“And what happens when they run into each other again?” Santiago asked, his voice rising slightly as he gestured between the two of you.
“How likely is that, Santi?” you shot back, your brow furrowing in irritation.
He clicked his tongue, leaning forward like he had you cornered.
“My wedding is in a few months, smartass. Frankie’s mom is invited. What’s your plan then?”
The room fell into a charged silence. Oh.
You hadn’t thought of that. Neither had Frankie, apparently, because when you turned your head, you found him looking at you for the first time since this entire mess had started. For one fleeting moment, your eyes met, a shared look of complicity—and, more importantly, desperation.
“Of course, you didn’t think of that,” Santi said, his voice cutting through the growing tension like a whip. He dragged a hand across his forehead, closing his eyes as if summoning the patience to deal with you both. When he looked up again, his expression was pure exasperation.
“God, you guys seriously make me desperate. Are you two ever going to be normal with each other? First, I have to put up with years of your petty, hateful attitudes, and now this?” He gestured between you and Frankie as if the very sight of you sitting there made him tired. “Do you want to kill me? Is that the plan? Seriously, I’m asking—do you both want me dead?”
The sheer absurdity of his words made you laugh, even though you tried to swallow it.
“Oh my God, Santi, you’re so dramatic,” you said, shaking your head, though you were half-smiling.
“Dramatic?” he repeated, incredulous.
“Hey, man, look,” Frankie cut in, like someone trying to defuse a bomb. He leaned forward slightly, his hands open, his tone edging toward apologetic. “I promise I’ll fix it. I’ll tell them she’s your sister—no big deal. And then I’ll come up with something to explain how we ‘broke up’ on the best possible terms. No drama, no mess, okay? I swear.”
You nodded quickly, eager to latch onto his plan.
“Exactly. This can stay simple, we’ll just say we broke up over something normal. Totally amicable, decided to stay friends. Easy.” Your tone softened as you leaned toward him, more pleading now. “Really, Santi. Please, please don’t get mad.”
Santi let out a heavy, theatrical sigh, leaning back in his chair and folding his arms across his chest. For a moment, he didn’t say anything, just tipped his head back and closed his eyes like he was praying for patience.
“I’m not mad,” he said finally, though his tone suggested he might not be entirely convinced of that. His eyes opened, and he looked at you with something between disbelief and reluctant amusement. “I’m just surprised. Out of all the people in the world, you and Frankie are the ones pretending to date?” He let out a short, humorless laugh, shaking his head. “It’s fucking ridiculous.”
“Well,” you said, rolling your eyes as the irritation bubbled up. “It’s not like we planned this. I never thought I’d run into Harry in the middle of fucking nowhere. Besides, this wouldn’t have even happened if you—” you jabbed a finger in Santi’s direction, “—had gone looking for me in Dallas instead of sending Frankie. Or, I don’t know, if you’d given me a proper warning. I could’ve found another way home.”
Santi’s eyebrows shot up, his hand flying to his chest as if you’d physically shoved him.
“Oh, now this is my fault?” he asked, his voice dripping with incredulity. He pointed to himself for emphasis, his jaw tightening like he was trying not to laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of the accusation.
Next to you, Frankie snorted, shaking his head in that infuriatingly smug way he did when he thought he was being clever. You turned sharply toward him, glaring.
“Do you have something to say, Francisco?”
Santiago let out a breathy, humorless laugh, his hand coming up to pinch the bridge of his nose.
Frankie, meanwhile, scratched his chin, clearly deliberating how to phrase whatever was on his mind without making things worse. Or maybe he was just stalling, dragging out the moment for the fun of it.
“Yeah. First of all, I don’t understand what you’re trying to prove to this Harry guy. He’s marrying someone else, isn’t he? I doubt he cares whether or not you have a boyfriend.”
“Ah, right, 'cause you’re the paragon of honesty, aren’t you?” you shot back, the heat rising in your chest now threatening to spill out.
“Sure,” Frankie said with an infuriating nod, leaning back slightly as if to make room for whatever you were about to throw at him next.
You leaned toward him, unable to resist. “It’s not like you made up a girlfriend or anything, right? Tell me, Francisco, wouldn’t it have been easier to just act like a real man and tell your mom you don’t want to be with anyone? Instead of, you know, lying like a coward? Or is that too scary for you?”
Frankie laughed then, a low, sarcastic sound that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up. He shifted closer, leaning in until his face was just inches from yours, his dark eyes gleaming with something sharp and taunting.
“He’s with someone else. He doesn't care about you. Get over it—”
“No one loves you—"
“Okay, fuckin' stop it!” Santiago shot up from his seat, his hands landing firmly on his hips as he stared at you with an expression that teetered between disbelief and outright despair. He shook his head, exhaling sharply through his nose. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. That’s how you’re going to convince people you’re together? What’s the plan tomorrow, huh? What are you going to do when people actually talk to you? This isn’t even remotely believable.”
“I know how to act,” you shot back, crossing your arms as you leaned into the challenge. You tilted your head, trying for a smug expression, though the heat rising to your cheeks probably undermined it.
Frankie let out a laugh beside you.
“No, you don’t.”
“Sure I do,” you retorted, fixing him with a defiant look. “You’ll see tomorrow, Francisco. I’ll be super—”
“You almost shit yourself at the diner the other day, what are you even talking about? I saved you—”
“Oh my God, stop!” Santi cut in, throwing his hands up in a desperate plea for silence. He made a horizontal motion with his hands, like a referee calling a foul. “Stand up. Now.”
“Why?” you asked, your eyebrows knitting together in confusion.
“Just. Stand. Up.” Santi said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
You hesitated, glancing at Frankie as if he might somehow explain what was going on. He was already on his feet, his movements slow and deliberate, like he didn’t particularly want to comply but knew better than to argue.
With a resigned sigh, you rose from your spot, the tension in your shoulders apparent even in the way you stood. The second you moved, Mr.Darcy wasted no time, sliding into the space you’d just vacated.
Santiago leaned back slightly, crossing his arms over his chest, his expression unnervingly calm. He watched you both like he was observing a particularly amusing experiment, his lips twitching as if he were holding back a smirk.
“Okay,” he said after a moment, his tone almost conversational. “Kiss each other.”
You blinked, unsure if you’d heard him correctly. “What?”
Frankie, equally caught off guard, tilted his head toward Santi. “Sorry, what did you just say?”
“Kiss,” Santi repeated, his voice louder this time, like he was explaining something to a particularly dense child. He gestured between the two of you. “Frankie, kiss her.”
“Absolutely not,” you said immediately.
“Are you crazy?” Frankie added, shaking his head vehemently, his face scrunching up like the very idea was offensive.
Santiago raised his eyebrows, his calm demeanor giving way to something more pointed.
“What, you didn’t think this through? How the fuck are you planning to convince anyone you’re dating if you can’t even manage a little kiss?”
You stared at him, dumbfounded, your brain struggling to process the absurdity of what he was suggesting. Out of the corner of your eye, you could see Frankie’s jaw tighten, his mouth pressed into a thin line.
Meanwhile, Santi seemed to be enjoying himself immensely. There was an unmistakable glint of amusement in his eyes, his gaze darting between you and Frankie like he was watching the climax of a particularly entertaining play.
He was savoring this—your awkwardness, your obvious discomfort. To him, this wasn’t just funny; it was justice. A kind of poetic payback for the years of chaos and petty feuding you and Frankie had inflicted on him. The sheer satisfaction on his face was infuriating, but also, somehow, undeniably deserved.
“Well?” he prompted, raising his hands in mock encouragement. “Go on, lovebirds. Show me how convincing this great plan of yours is.”
You glanced at Frankie, hoping for some sign he was going to end this absurdity. But he wasn’t looking at you, or at Santiago, or even at the floor like a normal person. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, his teeth dragging over his bottom lip like he was physically restraining himself from speaking. His hands rested on his hips, fingers tapping idly against his belt, while his foot shifted incessantly, a nervous rhythm you couldn’t unhear.
You rolled your eyes and crossed your arms.
“Is this fun for you?” you asked Santi, your voice sharp enough to cut through his amusement.
He barely suppressed a laugh, the corners of his mouth twitching upward as he gave a little shrug.
“Of course it is. Look at you two. You can’t even conceive of the idea of a teeny, tiny, innocent little kiss.” He paused, his expression shifting into something mockingly thoughtful. “You know, Fish,” he added, turning his attention to Frankie, “your mom invited me to her birthday tomorrow.”
That got Frankie’s attention. His head snapped toward Santiago, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
“It’s a shame,” Santi continued, raising his eyebrows in exaggerated regret. “But I can’t go. I’d love to see the two of you embarrass yourselves in front of an audience. That would’ve been a real treat.”
Frankie clicked his tongue, clearly irritated. “Come on, man, don’t start.”
But before Santiago could respond, you interrupted.
“Kiss me,” you said, turning to Frankie with a tone that was less a request and more a threat.
Santiago let out a breathy laugh, stifling the full force of his amusement but not entirely succeeding.
Frankie looked at you like you’d just suggested a double homicide, his brows lifting high enough to crease his forehead.
“Come on,” you repeated, stepping closer to him. You let your arms drop to your sides in what you hoped was a disarming gesture, but Frankie didn’t budge. His expression didn’t soften, either—in fact, it somehow got worse. He was looking at you like you’d offered him a plate of raw sewage.
“Come on, Fish,” Santi chimed in, his voice laced with mock encouragement. “One little kiss and that’s it. What’s the big deal?”
You stayed where you were, holding Frankie’s gaze, your jaw tightening as you willed him to just get this over with. But he remained firmly rooted in place, his face still twisted in disgust.
And then something shifted in your chest. It was small at first, but it grew quickly—an anger, sharp and undeniable. What the hell was wrong with him? Was the idea of kissing you that horrifying? It wasn’t like this was real. It wasn’t like it meant anything.
You snorted, shaking your head as determination overtook you. Without giving it another second of thought, you crossed the space between you in a single, decisive motion.
“Wait, what the fuck are you—” Frankie started, but his words cut off as your hands gripped the sides of his face and your lips crashed against his.
The kiss lasted no more than three seconds, but it felt like an eternity. His lips were softer than you’d expected, warm and surprisingly still. Your eyes stayed firmly shut, as if that could somehow make the situation less mortifying.
When you pulled back, it was abrupt, almost violent. You jerked away from him and immediately crossed your arms again, your defenses snapping back into place.
Frankie stood there, completely still, his face frozen in an expression of shock. His eyebrows were furrowed, his mouth slightly open, and his eyes were unfocused, like he couldn’t quite process what had just happened.
“It’s not that hard, Francisco,” you said, your tone clipped as you turned away and sat back down on the couch, this time right next to Mr. Darcy. “I’m a woman, not an alien. It’s not so terrible.”
Your brother was staring at you, his expression a mixture of delight and disbelief. For a moment, he said nothing, just taking in the scene like it was the best entertainment he’d had in years. Then, with a wide grin, he walked over to Frankie and delivered a solid punch to his stomach.
Frankie clicked his tongue in annoyance, snapping out of his daze with a low groan.
"I’m already regretting this," he muttered then, his voice low but sharp, as he turned his back to you and Santi.
“You can’t regret it now,” you called after him, your tone sharper than you meant. It was enough to stop him. He turned his head slightly, just enough for you to see his face. He didn’t look angry, not exactly. There was no sharpness, no fire. Just this quiet disappointment.
“A deal’s a deal,” you said. "You were the one who insisted. Or have you forgotten that already?”
“No,” he said, a little too quickly, his eyes flicking to the ground. “Of course not. I just—” He paused, rubbed the back of his neck. “We didn’t think it through.”
From his spot against the wall, Santi let out a low whistle, arms crossed as he watched the exchange unfold like it was a show he’d seen before.
“Yeah we did,” you shot back, rolling your eyes. “The issue isn’t that. The issue is you chickening out. You were fine until Santi showed up.”
“Oh, now it’s my fault again?” Santi asked.
You shrugged, noncommittal.
“Okay, well,” Santi said, pushing off the wall and stepping closer. “Do what you want. It’s none of my business. Just—” he gestured vaguely, like he was brushing something away, “be a grown-up about it. And don’t screw it up, yeah? Because, honestly, of the three of us, I’m the one who has to deal with your shit.”
“We won’t cause trouble,” Frankie said, his voice quieter now but clear. He glanced at you, then at his best friend. “You have my word. I’ll keep it together. I'll be respectful. No bullshit. I promise.”
Santi nodded, his mouth twitching into the faintest smile. He reached out and clapped Frankie on the shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze.
“Sure, man. I trust you. Just—” He laughed lightly, his smile widening. “Don’t be such a child.”
He turned to you then, something knowing in his gaze, before looking back at Frankie. His laugh came deeper this time, warm and unguarded.
“Oh, I know exactly how this is going to end,” he said, shaking his head.
He didn’t stay much longer, mentioning something about dinner plans with Yovanna and promising to call tomorrow. The air felt lighter as he left, like he’d taken the weight of the moment with him, leaving only the two of you standing in its wake.
A few moment later, Frankie was ready to go too, or at least he looked like he was. He sat across from you now, his posture relaxed in a way that felt calculated, like he was trying to project a calm he didn’t entirely feel. Your cat, utterly oblivious to the undercurrent of tension in the room, rubbed insistently up and down his leg, purring loud enough to fill the silence. Frankie absentmindedly ran his fingers along his fur, the gesture soft, almost tender.
From where you sat on the opposite end of the couch, you shifted slightly, trying to tread carefully. Your voice, when it came out, was low, calculated even—an attempt not to poke at the fragile truce that had settled between you.
"You know Santi’s right, don’t you?" you asked, watching as Frankie’s head lifted immediately, his gaze locking onto yours. "I mean, I don’t know how you are with your actual girlfriends—if you’re, like, affectionate, or into, you know, public displays of affection or whatever. But if we’re going to do this, you’ve got to get over it."
"I don’t have anything to get over. We just need to stick to the basics."
"Aha, the basics," you echoed, leaning forward slightly. "Sure, okay. But you couldn’t even kiss me without looking like it was physically painful."
"That’s not fair. You caught me off guard, that’s all. The context was weird. Santi was watching—it threw me off." He shook his head, his discomfort practically radiating off of him.
You leaned back, crossing your arms as you let out a short laugh, the sound more exasperated than amused.
"Your whole family is going to be watching tomorrow."
You stood abruptly, the movement carrying your frustration with it, and crossed the room in a few quick steps. You didn’t look back as you walked into the open kitchen, heading straight for the sink and grabbing a glass from the counter. The sound of water filling the glass was the only noise for a moment, the silence stretching uncomfortably.
Frankie didn’t say anything right away. When you turned around, your glass now empty in your hand, he was still in the living room, his focus firmly on your cat. He scratched behind his ears like he hadn’t just been called out, like he could stay there indefinitely and avoid the conversation entirely.
But then he stood, moving toward you with an unhurried calm that didn’t quite match the unease in his eyes. He stopped a few feet from you, leaning one hip against the kitchen island as if he needed something to ground himself.
"Your mother," you said, setting the glass down on the counter with more force than you intended, "your sisters, your aunts and uncles, your mom’s friends—they’re all going to be watching."
Frankie sighed. "It’s different."
"Different how?"
"Because Santi’s my best friend. And you’re his sister. It was weird."
"And this is all fake, Francisco," you said, gesturing vaguely with your hand, like you were pointing out something so glaringly obvious it hardly needed to be said. "How old are you again? Forty?"
"Thirty-five," he replied, deadpan.
"Right. Almost forty. And you can’t do something as simple as kiss a woman. Yes, I’m your best friend’s sister. Yes, you clearly dislike me. And yes, I clearly dislike you too. But it’s just a kiss," you said, your tone sharp, cutting. Like you were explaining basic arithmetic to a particularly slow child. "A fucking—"
The word caught in your throat mid-sentence, stolen by the sudden, startling pressure of Frankie’s hands on your face.
Before you could react—before you could even think—he was there. Close, impossibly close, his fingers firm but steady as they cupped your jaw, his palms warm against your skin. His eyes barely met yours before his mouth was on yours, and for a moment, the world narrowed to that one unexpected point of contact.
His lips moved against yours with a precision that felt calculated, like he wasn’t rushing, but he wasn’t holding back either. They parted yours gently, and his breath mingled with yours, each second stretching into something that felt far longer.
Three seconds. Four, maybe five. It was enough for you to notice, to feel how his thumb brushed against the side of your face, to register the faint scent of his cologne. Enough for it to completely throw you.
Then, just as suddenly as it had started, it was over.
He released you, stepping back without ceremony. For a moment, he just stood there, looking down at you from his full height, his expression unreadable. Then he clicked his tongue, a sound so small but so maddeningly smug it made your blood simmer.
You didn’t move. You couldn’t. You were rooted to the spot, your thoughts a scrambled mess as you tried to catch up with what had just happened. Your breathing was uneven now, a shallow rhythm you couldn’t quite control.
Frankie turned away, shaking his head slowly as if he were frustrated—with you, with himself, with the entire situation. His hands flexed at his sides, his gaze fixed on the floor.
When he finally looked back up at you, his scowl was sharp enough to cut. There was something accusatory in the way his eyes narrowed, as if he were blaming you for... what? Letting him kiss you? Letting him prove a point?
“I can do that, no problem,” Frankie said, his voice dripping with confidence, his expression so self-assured it almost felt rehearsed. He stood tall, chest slightly puffed, radiating an air of someone entirely too pleased with himself. “Stop being so fucking insufferable all the time, and maybe this whole thing would be easier.”
The words stung more than you cared to admit. You wanted to hit back, to say something sharp and cutting that would wipe that smug look off his face. Insult him, rattle him—anything to remind him that if this situation was unbearable, it wasn’t because of you alone.
But no words came.
Your throat tightened, and you couldn’t force yourself to speak. It wasn’t just that you were angry—though you were. It was that he was watching you now, not with his usual indifference but with something sharper, something closer to scrutiny. Like he was waiting for your reaction, ready to pounce on it, to use it against you.
Frankie leaned back against the kitchen island, crossing his arms over his chest. His gaze dropped to the floor, and for a moment, it felt like the room itself had shrunk, like the air had turned heavy and suffocating. The silence between you was uncomfortable in a way it had never been before.
You swallowed hard, the sound loud in the stillness, and forced yourself to meet his eyes.
"Thank God you’re not my real boyfriend," you said finally, your voice breaking the tension. You tilted your head, letting a sly smile curve your lips as you arched a single eyebrow. "I’d rather kiss a toad."
The corner of Frankie’s mouth twitched, and for a second, you thought he was going to brush off your jab entirely. But then he let out a quiet laugh, one he didn’t even try to hide, his expression softening into something teasing.
"You’ve got a lot of experience with those, don’t you?"
You rolled your eyes, letting out a soft, incredulous snort. Your gaze drifted to the empty glass of water sitting on the counter, the condensation forming a faint ring beneath it. You should’ve said something else, something sharp to cut through the tension still lingering in the air, but you didn’t.
Frankie straightened up, peeling himself away from where he’d been leaning against the kitchen island. He stretched slightly, his movements unhurried, one hand brushing absently over his stomach like he was just waking up from a nap. Then he reached into his pocket, his fingers curling around something—his keys, you realized—as if confirming they were still there.
He turned without a word and walked over to the couch, where Mr. Darcy had curled up in his usual spot. Frankie gave the cat a quick pat on the head, his fingers lingering for a moment longer than necessary, then straightened again. When he turned back to you, there was something almost playful in his expression, a teasing glint in his eyes that made your stomach twist in a way you didn’t want to acknowledge.
"I’ll pick you up at six tomorrow," he said, his voice casual but firm, like it was already decided. "Don’t keep me waiting."
You blinked at him, disbelief washing over your face. From your spot leaning against the counter, you tilted your head slightly, trying to gauge if he was serious—or if he was just trying to get a rise out of you.
"Or what?" you shot back, your voice dripping with mockery. "You’re going to leave without me?"
Frankie paused at your door, his hand hovering over the handle. He turned his head, his eyes locking onto yours.
"I’ll come up and get you," he said, his tone low and almost threatening.
Before you could reply, he pulled the door open, stepping out into the hallway and closing the door with a gesture that felt vaguely theatrical.
You stood there for a moment, motionless, your eyes drifting aimlessly around the room. It was quiet now, save for the faint hum of the refrigerator in the corner.
Then a sharp, high-pitched meow broke through your thoughts.
You glanced down to see Mr. Darcy padding toward you, his tail held high like a little banner, the picture of feline confidence. He stopped just short of your feet, looking up at you with wide, expectant eyes. The kind of look that demanded attention.
“Oh, so now you’re coming back to me?” you asked, crouching down to run your fingers over the soft fur on his head. He tilted his chin upward, leaning into the touch like he hadn’t just spent the last hour fawning over Frankie.
"Of course, you traitor," you muttered, scratching behind his ears. "Now that he’s gone, you’ve suddenly remembered I exist."
Mr. Darcy purred in response, his tail curling slightly as he rubbed against your hand, but you snorted softly, the sound carrying a faint edge of betrayal.
"You’re lucky I love you," you said, your voice low, almost conspiratorial. "But don’t think I’ve forgotten how easily you switched sides. I don’t know if I’m ready to forgive you just yet."
He blinked at you, unbothered, and you couldn’t help but laugh under your breath. Still crouched, you rested your elbow on your knee, glancing toward the closed door where Frankie had disappeared.
Mr. Darcy meowed again, drawing your attention back, as if reminding you of where your loyalty should lie. For now, you decided, he was forgiven. Just barely.

Yandere Batfam x Neglected Reader x Yandere Al Ghuls
Pt 8
Prev
Author's note: Sorry it took so long. I rewrote this whole chapter because I was just not happy with it. Though I am glad I took the time because this chapter feels more critical than what I would have released. Plus college and work have been a hot mess, so updates might be slower but they should be same quality.
You sat at the breakfast table by yourself. Last night you could barely sleep after burning the blood cover clothes. In the end you had maybe one or two hours of sleep. Giving up at 6:30am you went down early for breakfast.
There was a yawn from the hallway shortly before Barbara rolled into the dining room. She stopped at the entrance to the room, blinking at you. "Oh morning. You're up early."
"So are you. Or do you count this as late?" You leaned back in your chair. One of the books you had gotten with Duke in your hands. There was a decent calm but you still didn't like the quiet.
Barbara rolled closer to you. She stopped when she was sitting next you. Placing her hands on the table, she took a deep breath. You paused your reading to look her. She had a look on her face that told you she was about to ask questions. You shifted yourself away from her slightly, "Don’t. Please just don't."
"I'm trying to find who hurt you (Name). I just... I need a little more information to work with." Barbara leaned forward bracing her arms on the table. "I know you got upset with Dick for asking..."
You scoffed closing your book, "Babs. Please just drop it. I guarantee you that you're not going to like or find anything I tell you useful."
"I want to help you get the justice you deserve." Barbara reached a hand out to you. An olive branch. You almost reached back, almost told her everything but stopped yourself.
The devastation you felt at learning everything was a lie. That the person you trusted not only failed you but almost certainly betrayed you. It was destroying some integral in you. Could you do that to someone? Sure you had committed murder but Davis had deserved for taking part in your suffering. Plus you let him die with his world view intact. But Barbara?
"Would still wish to get me justice if you learn that someone important was involved?" This was your test for her. If she didn't hesitate or ask questions, than you'd tell her. If she showed you she was sure she wanted to go down that road than you'd tell her.
Barbara blinked at question. Eyebrows throughing, she opened her mouth than closed it. You deflated when she asked the last thing you wanted to hear, "What do you mean?"
"Nevermind..." You grabbed your book. It was funny to you in a way that the book you were reading was about a girl discovering her world was lie while you lived through it.
Barbara grabbed your hand. There was desperation in her tone, "(Name), please tell me. I want to help you in anyway I can."
"I don't know their names, just faces." You pulled your hand from hers. This was not going to end well. It was only necessary to punish the guilty, not the innocent. Not Barbara, especially if she was telling the truth.
But what if this was a lie? Your chest tied itself up into knots. Was this another misstep that would tip Bruce off to you knowing he was involved. If Barbara told him, or worse was involved in what happened. Shit, what were you going to do?
She grabbed your hand again refusing to let go, "I don't believe you. (Name) we're here for you, I know we let you down in the past but are we here and trying to do better. Please let us in, tell us what happened. Tell me who hurt you."
A tear slid down your face. Pure fear gripped your chest. This was a test not for her but for you. Did he know about Davis? Had killing the accountant been a mistake? You took a few deep breaths, "Barbara, please just let it go. It's not worth investigating."
"It is. You're worth investigating for."
"No, I'm not." You pulled your wrist from hers. The hollow feeling in your chest was coming back. You needed to get out of the manor, at least for a little bit. It wasn’t safe here. Turning you ran from the room.
You weren't a 100% sure where you go so long as it wasn’t there.
Tim stared at the tablet in his hands, still attempting to process the information from the Davis scene. It was a messy scene. The killer had seemingly playing the blood yet had left no finger print. Even the message on the wall didn't help identify the killer, they had it written with Davis's severed thumb. A truly demented move or a forensic counter measure. Sighing he lowered the tablet back down onto his dresser.
After adjusting his tie, Tim exited his room. Walking towards the dining room he was prepared for another sit down with (Name). What he wasn't prepared for was said girl running into him at full speed. Her hands were pressing into her chest and her breathing was frantic. Tim reached out grabbing her to keep her from tumbling to the floor.
She started to kick and claw at him. Tim held her at arm's length before pulling her in as close as he could. She was clearly have a panic attack of some kind. He focused most of the pressure of the hug on her upper chest where her hands had been digging into. She thrashed around for a bit before going limp in his arms. Tim looked at her, really looked at her for the first time in years.
She was slightly shorter than Damian. Yet she seem so much older than she was. No longer was the three year old girl that had stolen his mask. The confused and upset little girl was gone replaced with a haunted ten year old. Tim picked her up.
She was still limp and nonresponsive when Tim brought her to the living room. Setting her on the couch, he grabbed a weight blanket they had for Jason. Tim had always found her the hardest to communicate with. Out of all his siblings she was the one he knew the least about. Attempting to help her now just made that clear. It was concerning.
He was supposed to know almost everything about everyone. The genius prodigy who could tell you anything. Expect for where (Name) was concerned apparently. She really was one mystery after another. But Tim was good at solving mysteries.
"Hey, focus on my voice okay." He got her to look at him. Her stare was vacant and floated everywhere but his face. "Can you tell me five things you see around you?"
"There's..." She blinked, eyes searching the room. "Two cameras in this room, the model suggest that they have audio."
Tim blinked. She was right but those cameras were hidden. One in the bookcase by the TV and the other in the camera rod pointing towards the hallway. Her shaking didn't stop as hers eye moved between the cameras and door. "No hiding spots."
Tim stood up. First he moved the book camera so it was facing the opposite direction. She blinked mildly confused, Tim took that as a good sign. Than he turned the curtain rod so the camera was pointed to the ceiling. (Name) tilted her head to the side. Tim walk back to crouch infront her, "What are five things you can see?"
They ran through the grounding technique. At the end Tim had chosen to sit next to her. It was peacefully quiet say for the occasionally buzz of Tim's phone. He checked it to see some text messages from Barbara, Bruce, and Damian. Tim shook his head turning his buzzer off. (Name) was still shaking. Tim bit his lip, while watching, "Do you want talk about it?"
"No." She shrugged the weighted blanket off her body.
Tim nodded, "Okay. Bruce wants us to come to breakfast."
"Bruce is on business trip until Tuesday." She gave him a weird look.
Tim shook his head, "He came back early after Alfred called about you arriving suddenly. He wants to check that you're okay."
"I don't want to see him." (Name) turned away from him.
Tim blinked slowly. He remembered from before she disappeared that she had always want to see Bruce. On more occasions than he could count she had asked him give the man invites to open houses, art displays, science fairs, and school plays. She had always wanted her dad to be there. For that to have changed, something truly bad must of happened.
Maybe she didn't feel like she deserved to be near Bruce. Tim knew he struggled with that after Junior. It took time to mend his relationship with Bruce. Maybe that's what she needed, time. Tim could give her some time, "That’s okay, but we probably should still get something to eat."
"Right." She nodded at Tim hollowly. She bit her lip slightly, "did Jason come back to the manor last night?"
"No, not yet but I can message him and tell him you're asking about him." Tim pulled his phone out, ready to send the message.
"No, it's fine...I have to go the library today." She started to mess with her fingers looking towards the window. Tim patted her on the shoulder.
"I'll grab something from the kitchen and give you a ride to the library. Any requests?"
"Do we still have GoGurt?"
Jason shoved another piece of burned debris out of his way. Just as suspected the address the guards had given them was also torched. There were signs that the people involved had taken the lighter equipment. Sparking cords hung from the ceiling with old broken cameras. A few still had scalpels sticking out of them.
"Dude what are we doing here?" Roy Harper asked from behind Jason. After storming out of the manor, Jason made a few calls. The Outlaws now walked behind him in the destroyed building. Bizarro, Artemis, Kori, and Roy had all answered his call to track some people down for 'personal reasons'.
"Remember when I told I have a little sister." Jason said while kicking open a door. It opened to what the sources had called the Main Hall. There was rubble blocking the path to the rooms in the hallway. Evidence pointed towards them detonating a small bomb in the hall way. Her cell was located on the left hand side, the door hanging open. There were four other doors down the hallway. Jason only knew what one of them was, which was a locker room across from her cell.
"Me no remember" Bizarro called from behind him. There were sounds of confirmation from the others. It might have been words, Jason honestly didn't care.
"Turns out she wasn't at that boarding school in Shanghai like I had thought she was." He hated having to admit that but these guys would get it. He hoped. They knew how he almost visited her everytime they were China. Now he wished he hadn't stopped himself, hadn't let her go.
"Wait, wha... Oh shit.", Roy put the pieces together quickly. He began to look around the charred remains of the facility with horror. Out of all his friends, Jason figure would understand the most. "She was here wasn't she and not for good reasons."
Jason nodded to Roy assessment, "We think they were preforming experiments to try and create Meta Humans."
"Oh, The poor thing. What do you need us to do?" Kori started to move debris out of the way. Artemis began helping in moving rubble. They made a clearing to the rest of the doors.
Jason sighed shoving open the door to the locker room. All of the lockers were tumbled over. Most of them looked empty but Jason still pointed towards the room, "We're looking for anything that could be a clue as to who these bastards are."
"Misunderstood." Bizarro said with a nod. With that he headed into the locker room. Set the lockers upright, he checked inside for anything useful. Jason pointedly ignore the room Kori entered. He didn't want to see where they kept her.
"Hold up, I need a little more information than that Jace." Artemis grabbed Jason's arm. He grunted gesturing for Artemis to continue, "Were they successful in making a meta human?"
"Yes, she developed a regeneration ability." Jason started towards another room in the hallway. The layout matched what the two guards had told them. Even if the two didn't know what happened in the last three rooms they knew something important in happened in them. They had taken Jason's sister into two of them. The first door not far from her cell and the last door at the end of the hall. The other door next to locker room only the scientists had entered.
"How did she get out of here?" Roy followed close behind. It was a valid question to ask given the security this place had. Jason had counted 25 cameras and they had to get through three security doors to get here.
Jason shook his head, "She stole a bunch of scalpels, gouged a guy's eye out and stole his keys. Right before she killed a completely different guy while running like hell."
"Fuck, she is your sister." Roy breathed. Jason reached over and smacked him across the back of the head. Roy grabbed where he was hit, "Oww dude. What the fuck that was a compliment. You got a badass sis."
"She's the innocent one in this family." Jason sighed as he opened the door to the room they most often brought her to. It looked like a sterile operation room with a water pool in the left corner. There was a musty scent in the room from the still water. Various tools were throw about from knives, to whips, to guns. "She's not supposed to be fighting or going through stuff like this."
"Have there been anytime attempts to recapture her? Traffickers hardly like to let their 'product' go." Artemis words were phrased carefully. Jason blinked before moving towards the next room urgently.
Green was blurring his vision again. This wasn't good, "No. And it's been six days since she escaped."
"They don't wait that long, even for the 'problematic' ones. Something ain't adding up here." Roy joined Jason in the next room.
The room next to the locker room was the most torched. Scorched remains of papers covered the floor with a flipped over filing cabinet. There was also some sparking medical equipment and a computer. The two walked further in. Roy picked up a piece of half burned papers. He blinked as he read it before reading it again out loud, "Subject Origin's recovery rate appears to be two hours for a bullet chest wound after the removal of all shrapnel. All vital organs show signs of being fully healed and operational. Despite lossing brain activity for an hour and fourty five minutes, Subject Origin shows no signs of inversible damage. This is a good sign for Project Raphael. What is Project Raphael?"
"I don't know." Jason picked up another piece of charged paper. Roy moved closer to see the paper. "The operational for Project Raphael was a success, despite Doctor H and Doctor Q's walking out. Subject Origin is showing signs of recovery. New Subjects Alpha through Hotel are being prepared for transplant. Monitoring period of six months set to begin in secondary locations."
"That might explain why they haven't come for her." Roy pulled back rubbing the back of his neck.
Jason gave him a look, "Huh?"
"Yeah, thinking about like these guys. If whatever they're doing has already moved on to different subjects than having the Origin isn't necessary until you need more subjects. So why not just let her go until they know whether the first 'batch' is successful?" Roy shrugged hapzardly.
"Cause that would a massive security threat." Jason gestured to them simply being in the room. "She's already tipped off every vigilante in the area."
"That’s probably why they trashed the place." Roy kicked some of the paper causing it fly up. "There's probably not much to find here."
Jason growled. Roy had a point, they could nothing if they didn't know what they were even looking for. He pulled out his phone and took a picture of the paper. "Just grab what you can. We might be able to find something important."
Roy sighed but began to pick up other pieces of paper that seem legible. Jason quickly sent the picture to Tim with a brief note to be ready. Roy held up a paper with only Subject Origin written on it, "Hey all of these refer to them doing some fuck up shit to Subject Origin."
"Just focus on grabbing the things, we'll worry about what they say later. I'll focus on recovering the computers hard drive." Jason was focused on taking deep breaths. If those paper were truly talking about (Name) that meant she had endured worst things than they were originally think. Barely injured his ass, they were shooting her just see how she would recover. Lossing brain activity meant she was medically dead for a whole hour. Green was starting to over take his vision. Doctors H and Q had some explaining to do when he found them.
The computer wouldn't turn on. Jason decided to just take the hard drive. It would be easier to recover information at the batcave anyways. Even if that meant go back to the manor. All he needed was a name or a picture. Something to point him in the right direction.
"Hey Jace, I think we got something." Artemis was calling from the hallway. He grabbed the hard drive before going to check out what they were talking about. Artemis held up a burned student ID for Gotham U's Medical school. "Bizarro found this in a locker. Can't read the Name or see the picture but we got the last 3 digits of a student number."
"Good, it will help us narrow the list down." Jason nodded looking around the place. Roy had been right. There really wasn't much to see that wasn't destroyed. Jason was willing to bet they wouldn't find any real names on the computers hard drive. That was assuming it wasn't wipe.
"I have found this in the sleeping quarters." Kori came out of the room holding a scalpel with dried blood and some decaying matter. Jason half laughed, she actually did gouge out a man's eye to escape. He wasn't sure if he was impressed or horrified. On one hand his sister could defend herself. On the other hand she should never had to do that in first place. Whatever Project Raphael was it had pushed her to a limit Jason never wanted her near again.
Jason got yanked out of his thoughts by his phone buzzing. Unlocking it he saw a text from Tim. "Drop off everything you got from that place at the Batcave. Also be at the library at 2pm, (Name) will be wrapping up there at that time. Pick her up."
Jason looked at the time 11am, they had three hours. "Let’s move."

dear future husband..
𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 :
annoyed!fem reader x soon to be fiancé!han jisung
𝐚/𝐧 :
my first oneshot 🤍
“love, you're making this difficult,”
a groan lingers in the back of han's throat, although he stifles it inside for his sake.
your heels tap on the ground with a fierce pace, eyes narrowed, keeping your back turned on him.
“nessa, come on, baby,”
he hesitates to pull you back, but he decides to grab onto your purse's string, stopping you in your tracks.
“why are you like this? what'd i do?”
you spun around,
“you're late! this isn't the first time you've done this to our dates, han.”
well, how would you not be frustrated? you dolled up for hours and he shows up an hour late.
“i’m sorry, angel, something.. came up at work,”
han internally curses at himself. he got too carried away looking at rings and flowers, thinking it's only six o’ clock. how's he gonna propose when you're mad at him?
you sigh and repeat his last word out loud.
han can immediately tell from the tone of your voice that you clearly don't believe him. he hesitates to respond further, knowing damn well you'll get more annoyed.
“yeah,”
he mumbles, scratching the back of his neck.
“i had something to do urgently, and i got held back.”
truthfully, he wanted to ask the florist on which bouquet's the best to give to you and the jeweller on the right ring, but you don't need to know that yet.
“you say that all the time,”
you say, before tugging onto your purse so your boyfriend lets go,
“i can't believe you anymore.”
han grits his teeth at your comment. you weren’t wrong though, he does say that excuse a lot..
“i really did, i swear. we had a meeting about our latest album.”
he knows you wouldn’t believe him either way, but he tries to sound convincing. he just needed to make you believe him somehow so that you and him can go on your date and end the day on a good note before he proposed on the next day.
“but this isn't the first time this has happened.”
“i know.. i-”
han heaves a long sigh. he knows how frustrated you are, and he's frustrated at himself too. why couldn’t he have just double checked the time?
he takes a few steps closer to you, gently rubbing comforting circles around your arms.
“i’m really sorry, i didn’t mean to make you this mad..”
“are you cheating on me?”
you say, the question just spilling out of your mouth. you audibly hear han gasp,
“what?”
his mouth drops at your question, eyes widening.
“of course not! i’d never do that to you..”
he’s completely shocked that you'd even ask that. it’s the last thing he would ever do to you, cheat on you. even the thought of it just sickens him.
“then what are you doing that’s making you late all the time? because it’s not work.”
“i-”
he hesitates and internally panics. he can’t just tell you yet, he has to come up with a random excuse.
“it’s just work, i swear!”
he knows it’s a terrible excuse, but he has no choice. if he told you the real reason, it’d ruin the surprise.. and ruin his proposal for tomorrow.
“fine..”
you sigh, before dragging him along to the car. han takes your hand in his, intertwining fingers, and heads out of his apartment and into the car. he helps you into the passenger seat before hopping into the driver’s seat and starting the vehicle.
the entire car ride was pretty silent, a comfortable one though. he glances over at you from time to time. you still look mad, and he mentally curses at himself.
“han, you idiot, make her happy,”
is what he said to himself in his mind.
as he stops the car at the parking lot, he immediately unbuckles his seatbelt and gets out of the car. he hurries around the car to open your door for you.
he helps you out of the car and shuts the door close before taking your hand in his again.
“come on.”
with that, he slowly walks beside you into the restaurant, still holding onto your hand.
as you both entered and were escorted to a table, han quietly pulls back your chair from the table before gesturing you to take a seat. he pushes the chair back closer to the table before sitting down into his own seat across from you.
he grabs the menu and looks over the options, although he’a not actually thinking of what to order. he’s too focused on your mood instead.
he sneaks a few glances at you as you scan your eyes over the menu. he’s still upset over the fact you thought he’d cheat on you. how could you even think that? he loves you more than anything in this world, and he could never, ever do that to you.
han notices you set the menu down and fold your arms across your chest, now looking out of the window. you still don’t look too happy, and it breaks his heart seeing you like that. he hates himself for messing up this date with you.
he sighs, folding his own menu and setting it beside the other. he reaches a hand out to take yours on the table, rubbing his thumb over your knuckles.
“can you look at me?”
he asks gently,
“please.”
“hm?”
he pouts at your emotionless response, and he continues to rub your knuckles.
“please, look at me..”
he repeats, a slight desperate tone in his voice. he just wants you to look at him. you ask him why, and he only just sighs louder. that stung. he’s not expecting that response. he tries his best to keep his calm, although that comment hurt him.
he takes a deep breath and speaks.
“i want you to look at me because i hate it when you’re mad at me..”
you look anywhere but at his eyes. you end up staring at the menu, saying,
“i’m not mad at you.”
yet it was clear you were annoyed with him because you said it with sass and attitude. han raises an eyebrow at your comment, not believing you. you’re still not looking at him, and he knows you’re definitely mad.
“love, you’re definitely mad. you just won’t admit it.”
you look up at him, groaning and rolling your eyes. he almost let out a sigh of relief when you finally looked at him. the sight of your eyes made his heart skip a beat.
he holds your hand gently, intertwining his fingers with yours and rubbing circles around your knuckles.
“finally..”
he smiles, trying to act casually and hide his relief.
“there’s that pretty face of yours,”
he mutters quietly as he looks at you, staring into your eyes.
he brings your hand up to his lips, pressing a soft kiss on your knuckles,
“and there’s those beautiful eyes i love seeing..”
he looks at you expectantly, studying your expression closely. he can tell you’re still upset with him, but he doesn’t want to mention anything that might worsen the mood.
“are you.. still mad at me?”
he asks in a hesitant tone, afraid of your response. you shake your head and he grins, and you find yourself grinning back.
his heart flutters in relief and he lets out a breath as he gently massages your knuckle, feeling overjoyed that you’re no longer upset.
“good..”
he mumbles blissfully. curious, you ask him what he's going to order.
“hm?”
he glances at you, surprised by your random question.
“oh uh, i’ll just have the steak, rare.”
he answers, his thoughts elsewhere. he’s wondering how he’s gonna propose later.
“how about you?”
you hesitate, knowing that he'll probably tease you for choosing yet again,
“the pasta.”
as expected, han scoffs and chuckles, his hand squeezing yours.
“you’re getting pasta again?”
he teased you since you always ordered pasta when both of you went to a restaurant. you blush in embarrassment and nod. you then looked at the menu again, trying to see if there was anything that piqued your interest.
“i could have the fish.. or the potatoes.”
he hums, trying to picture you eating fish or potatoes.
“you know you’re gonna end up ordering pasta again.”
he comments, and he’s correct, most likely. after a good two minutes, you sigh and look up at han, who was still smirking from ear to ear.
“can.. can i just have the pasta?”
“if that’s what you really want..”
he grins, knowing you’d never ever change off the pasta.
“at least you’ll be happy with your decision.”
he lets go of one of your hands and motions for a waiter. a waiter makes his way to your table, the man smiling politely as he pulls out a pen and notepad.
han turns to the waiter and says,
“we’d like to order now.”
“i’ll have the steak, rare. and she’ll have the pasta.”
he tells the waiter.
they nod and jots down the orders, looking up at both of you.
“will that be all?”
“yes, we’re done for now,”
he replies, nodding slightly at the waiter.
they smile once again.
“your orders will be ready in a while. thank you.”
with that, the man walks away.
he turns back to you, looking at you again. he takes your hand in his again, gently stroking your knuckles with his thumb.
“you know i’m right.”
he points out, a hint of a playful smirk crossing his features.
“you’re not gonna change your mind, because you always choose pasta.”
you giggle and tell him to shut up. but then your attention immediately goes to a man going down on one knee to his girlfriend. he watches the couple from the other table in a corner of his eye, seeing the man taking out a small velvet box and holding it out to his girlfriend. han feels slightly envious of their moment, as it’s only a matter of time before his own proposal begins.
he hums, still watching the couple in envy. He’s wondering how he’s going to pull off his own proposal later at night.
“they look happy,”
he comments quietly, still studying the couple. the man is now holding the girlfriend’s hand as he slides the ring on her finger.
“aww!”
you mumble, while the man embraces the now-engaged woman, both of them sharing a soft kiss.
han’s heart aches slightly in jealousy of the couple as he watches them. he suddenly wonders how you’ll react to his own proposal.
you whisper to han,
“she’s crying, that's so adorable!”
he nods his head in agreement with your statement, focusing on the engaged couple.
“it is cute,”
he muses, continuing to watch their moment. He looks at their happy faces and wishes for his own proposal to be a success.
“i wonder if you’ll cry too when i propose to you…”
he mumbles to himself, watching as the man helps his newly-engaged woman up from her chair and holding her in his arms.
“or maybe you won’t cry, and you’ll simply just look at me in shock.. like how you did when i first confessed to you..”
he smiles slightly at the memory of your surprised face when he confessed to you.
it was now the morning of the big day. han was going to propose to you today.
he was woken up by the sunlight streaming through the curtains. he blinks his eyes open, the sunlight slightly blinding him. he sits up in the bed, the sheets pooling around his lap. his eyes scan around the bedroom, landing on you, who was still asleep.
he takes a moment to admire you in your slumber, seeing your peaceful face and your slowly rising chest.
he then glances at the digital clock on the bedside. six am. another hour, and he’ll propose to you. he can already feel his heart rate quicken in anticipation.
he lets out a shaky breath, trying to calm down his racing heart. he looks at you once more, seeing your eyes still shut.
quietly, he slowly slips out of bed and pads across the carpet to the bathroom. he flicks on the light and closes the door softly.
he turns to the mirror, his eyes landing on his own reflection. he takes in his appearance, seeing his disheveled hair, and his slightly swollen eyes.
“you look nervous,”
he thinks to himself, trying to compose himself. he splashes cold water on his face and tries to calm down.
he grabs a towel off the rack and starts drying his face. he takes a few more breaths, taking the time to calm down from his nervousness.
he’s nervous, but he’s also excited to finally make you his fiancé and future wife.
the thought of what is to come floods into han’s mind.
“what if she says no? what if she hates the ring? what if she doesn’t want to marry me yet?”
his brain is suddenly filled with negative thoughts, and he tries to get rid of them. a cold feeling washes over him at the thought of you saying no to him.
“calm down,”
he tells himself, don’t overthink it. he glances at the mirror again, looking at his reflection once more.
he looks a little shaky and a bit pale, so he splashes his face with cold water again. he’s trying to calm down, but the thought of you rejecting him is constantly looping his mind,
“you’re just overthinking, he reassures himself, she’s not going to say no. you both already talked about getting married someday..”
he tries to stop his anxious thoughts but just the mere idea of you saying no is eating him up inside.
he lets out another shaky breath, trying to push the negative thoughts away. he forces on a small smile and tells himself everything will be okay.
“you’re going to propose, and she’s going to say yes. you’ll get engaged that night, and she’ll love the ring. it’s gonna be fine. you’ve been together for years, and she’s madly in love with you..”
han slowly steps out of the bathroom, his mind still racing with thoughts.
he approaches the bed and sits on the edge, looking at your sleeping form once again.
“babe,”
he calls out quietly, gently shaking your shoulder. he continues gently shaking your shoulder, trying to wake you up.
“babe..”
he repeats, his voice soft so he doesn’t startle you. your eyes flutter open and you sit up, rubbing your eyes and squinting. han couldn't help but smile at how adorable you were, your messy hair all over the place and how you struggled to get up.
“morning, love,”
he says gently.
“sorry to wake you,”
he apologizes as his words register in your sleepy head. you smile tiredly and puckered your lips at him. he chuckles and obediently pecks your lips and buried his head into your neck.
“i have a surprise for you,”
he suddenly whispers it into your ear, gently biting the crook of your neck, arms slowly wrapping around your waist. his breath feels heavy and hot.
without a word to protest, han pulls you towards the balcony, your steps following his as he guides you.
the night breeze was fresh, a little chilly. the sky was clear and a hint of the moonlight seeps into the balcony.
he slowly tugs you by the railing. you feel han behind you, his chin resting on your shoulder. he rubs your sides and you look behind yourself, seeing his beautiful face. he smiles and you ask him,
“what’s the surprise?”
“just.. stay still and just close your eyes,”
he softly kisses your cheek as he gently commands you to shut your eyes. he's being strangely careful,
“no peeking..”
he flips around so that you're facing him. he gently places your hands over your eyes and whispers,
“keep still, honey.”
he hugs you from behind for a few seconds, rubbing your hips to relax you, but mostly to relax himself.
he moves away, letting his warmth leave your body, going in front you. you can hear his ragged breathing, and a whisper. a click of his tongue.
then, you feel his presence before you. he was knelt down on one knee, facing you now.
“you can open your eyes now, angel..”
his voice was soft. your eyes were met with his, his soft brown hues staring into your soul, a smile playing in the corners of his lips. a shaky breath leaves his lips.
he's holding a small black velvet box, holding on to it anxiously. you gasp and han chuckled at your reaction, taking a shaky breath, fiddling with the box.
“i didn’t think it would take me so much courage..”
he slowly opens the box, revealing a diamond ring to you, sparkling under the moonlight.
“i..”
he can feel his heart hammering against his chest, sweat coating his skin. he can’t find the words, but he tries anyway, his eyes not leaving yours.
“i’ve been in love with you since the day i met you. i don’t ever wanna lose you. i can’t live.. and i don't want to live without you,”
he can feel nervousness bubble up within him, his body tense.
“i don’t want to be just your boyfriend anymore.. i want more..”
he gently grabs one of your hands, holding it tightly, his thumb stroking the back of it.
he takes another shaky breath in, his brown eyes locking with yours intently.
“i want to marry you…”
he lets the words hang in the air, the night suddenly falling deadly silent. it was only you and him, alone. he nervously awaits your response, breath caught within his throat, his eyes filled with desperation.
“will you.. marry me, angel?”
you find yourself choked up in tears. you sob and han was taken aback by your sudden reaction, watching a tear roll down your cheek, your hand slightly trembling within his grasp.
his eyes widen a little bit, his heart suddenly aching, as he waited for your answer. he says to himself in the back of his mind,
“please say yes..”
you stare at han on the ground for you. he looks up and you, concerned, awaiting your answer. you nod and blurt out,
“yes!”
a sigh of relief escaped his lips. a shaky breath.
a genuine smile slowly pulls its way up and takes over his features, his eyes lighting up, his lips trembling. he gingerly takes the ring out of the box and slowly slides it onto your finger.
“you’re mine..”
he whispers, his voice cracking a little. he stood up and pulled you into his chest, his arms caging you.
he could hear your cries against his chest, his hands gently tracing over your back, his chin resting on top of your head.
“you’re crying.. why are you crying, angel? every time i see you cry, i..”
he softly mumbled, his own tears stopping him from finishing the sentence. he embraces you firmly against his frame, his warmth enveloping you. you choke out,
“i’m just so happy..”
han held you a little closer, his nose nuzzling against the top of your head, his hand gently caressing your back. He lets out another shaky breath, a sigh of relief.
“so you really are mine now.. my fiancé..”
the word falling off his mouth was like honey to your ears.

The first game is over, but the weight of what happened still hurts, like a constant pressure on your chest. Everyone tries to find some normalcy amid the madness, but you know there’s no easy way out. You’re trapped here, just like everyone else.
Your thoughts keep returning to the same question: how did you end up here? The debt, the desperation, the uncertain future. You had done whatever it took to get money, to settle the bills that dragged you into this hell. Now, it all feels like a nightmare that won’t end. But there’s something else tormenting you, something you’ve kept hidden for years: him.
Thanos. The boy who left without a word, the boy with whom you shared the closest thing to a life you once dreamed of. The boy who left when you needed him the most. The boy who didn’t know you were going to be a mother.
The irony is that in this place where death seems to be the only thing that matters, what hurts the most isn’t the constant threat of the games. What hurts the most is that you’re here, surrounded by death, unable to let go of the past.
You’re in a group of players with Gi-Hun, speaking in hushed tones. You try to keep the conversation light, although you know no one can truly forget what happened in the first game. Gi-Hun wears a tired smile, one that doesn’t quite cover the distrust everyone now feels. But still, his presence gives you some comfort. For a moment, you can forget the nightmare and feel that, maybe, there’s still some humanity in this place.
“Seriously, I can’t believe we’re still alive,” says one of the players, his tone laced with bitter irony.
You nod, a bit more relaxed. “Yeah, it feels like we’re trapped in some kind of nightmare. Like this is just a bad dream.”
You don’t expect what happens next. A familiar voice, deep and grave, interrupts your conversation. The sound is like a punch to the stomach. You turn, recognizing it instantly.
“What... what are you doing here?” The voice escapes your lips almost without meaning to. You can’t believe it. There he is, standing in front of you, after all these years. Thanos.
He watches you, his eyes locked on you, as if time hadn’t passed. His presence freezes you, and your heart pounds in your chest. The shock is overwhelming. You don’t know if it’s fear or confusion that makes you hesitate, but the pain rises in your throat. Everything you’ve kept hidden, everything you’ve repressed, comes rushing back.
“What are you doing here?” His voice sounds grave, concerned, but there’s something in his gaze that makes you feel uncomfortable, like he’s trying to understand something about you. “Are you okay?”
Gi-Hun, who had been watching curiously, looks surprised. “Do you know him?” he asks, unsure of what to make of the situation.
“Yes,” you murmur, unable to look away from Thanos. You don’t know what else to say. The truth is, you don’t want to say anything. You don’t want him here.
Thanos takes a step forward, approaching slowly. You feel the space between you growing denser with each inch he closes. His gaze is still intense, but there’s something different about him. Something you don’t remember, something that makes you feel vulnerable. It hurts that he still looks at you like this, as if you still matter to him.
“I shouldn’t have left you. I shouldn’t have lost contact. Are you okay?” His voice is filled with regret, and for a moment, you wonder if he truly regrets it. But the doubt doesn’t last long. The truth is right there, floating between the two of you. He wasn’t there when you needed him the most, and now there’s nothing he can do to change that.
Your breathing becomes irregular. “No, I’m not okay,” you reply, though your voice sounds more broken than you expected. “And I won’t be. Not now.”
You can’t allow yourself to fall. You can’t allow yourself to be weak in front of him. You know what that would mean. The tears threaten to come, but you suppress them. You won’t show weakness.
Taking a step back, you try to keep your distance. You don’t want him to come closer. You can’t let him drag you back into that dark place from the past where the pain wouldn’t let you breathe.
Thanos stands still, as if unsure what to do with his hands. His eyes remain fixed on you, but it seems like all you can see on his face is confusion and regret.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asks, as if that’s the only thing he can say. His tone is soft, but his gaze is filled with a sadness that makes you want to run away. “I never knew... I never knew that...”
“Because you left,” you answer harshly, the words cutting through the air like knives. “Because you abandoned me. You didn’t give me a choice. And then, you didn’t look for me. You forgot about me, and you forgot about everything.”
Thanos hesitates for a moment, as if processing your words. “I... I didn’t know that...,” he begins, but you interrupt him.
“You didn’t have to know,” you say, your voice becoming firmer with the anger rising. “But now it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what happened, it doesn’t matter what it was. What I want now is something different.”
The silence between you both becomes heavy. The words you haven’t said, everything you’ve been holding inside, burn. You know this is the moment, the moment when things have to change.
Thanos steps toward you, his expression uncertain. The sadness on his face is obvious, but there’s something else: fear. Fear of losing you forever.
“I don’t want you to protect me just because of this,” you suddenly say, pointing to your belly, where his child still grows, though he doesn’t even know it’s his. “I want you to protect me because, after all this, I want you by my side for me, not for what I’m carrying inside.”
The honesty in your voice shakes him. Thanos falters, as if unsure how to respond. The sadness in his eyes deepens, but you also see him trying to understand what you just said.
“I’m sorry,” he whispers finally, his voice rough, as if every word costs him more than he expected. “I failed you. I didn’t know how to act, and... I’m so sorry.”
The words you just said have closed that door that was once open. There’s no place for him in your life anymore.
“You don’t have to apologize,” you tell him, almost without strength. “What hurts the most is that it doesn’t matter anymore. What hurts the most is that, even though you’re still here, I can’t be with you anymore.”
Those words are enough to break whatever little hope remained in your chest. Thanos can’t hide his pain, his sorrow is evident. But there’s nothing you can do. There’s no turning back now.
“If you don’t need me... I understand,” he says softly, almost defeated. “I failed you. And I never wanted it to be like this.”
Those words are enough to shatter what little was left of hope in your heart. You don’t look at him anymore. You can’t. The distance between you grows with every second that passes. You feel the emptiness that forms, the echo of what once was.
“Goodbye, Thanos,” you say, your voice barely a whisper. “It’s for the best for both of us.”
You turn away and start walking, feeling how everything you once wanted from him vanishes into the air. You know you’ve made the right decision, even though it feels like your heart is breaking. And as you walk, you know that, although the pain remains, the only way to move forward is to do it without him.

Widows rest
My take on a Black widow! Reader x Batman and Batfam but with a slight twist, reader doesn't know the Bats but they seem to know them...
Warning: contains avengers infinity war spoilers, black widow spoilers, brief mentions of violence, hospitals, poor writing, possible ooc,
Part 5. Bat-man?
The next few days are a drag, constant visits from the man and his gaggle of kids between tests and physical therapy. You're getting better about dropping silverware having to rely on what little information trickles in from the visits and the staff, you've found out more about Gotham City, apparently you're in New Jersey? The city happens to have a thriving elite community and just so happens to have the highest crime rate in the country. Great. you've started telling yourself It's like a mission you and nat went on nineteen years ago, you pretended you were a couple looking to adopt so you could get close to the adoption agencies lead chairman who was running a crime syndicate with the children.
The air here smells, you'd convinced a nurse to bring you outside after days of asking, claiming you wanted fresh air. they'd hesitated and hmmed and hawed and delayed enough that you were convinced you were held in a hydra facility rather than a hospital, but then they relented. under the condition that you stayed in a wheelchair so as not to stress your muscles, the two security guards that followed you were a bit much. now as you look around you think the nurse just didn't want you breathing in the smog.
It's dark enough out, the glow of skyscraper lights gives you enough of a view to tell you that you're actually in a city and not in some secure faculty in the mountains. Police sirens wail from multiple directions down below and ambulances occasionally careen into the lot and you even faintly hear the occasional shout, this place is surprisingly normal despite the situation you're in. ignoring the men watching you you lean towards the edge of your seat and glance down at the streets, there aren't a lot of people out, strange.
Glancing down at your lap you're reminded of your sticky situation, you're stuck in an injured and weak body that doesn't feel like yours, and you apparently have a family. At this point you've started to accept that whatever you are isn't your earth. Speaking of you can see a lit up billboard in the distance with his face on it, your eyes narrow as you study the airbrushed looking sign. “Wayne enterprises” it doesn't surprise you that it's named after him, he seems more and more like Stark the more you hear about him.
The shuffling of feet behind you alerts you, the security guards are leaving, the hair on the back of your neck stands. you don't have to look behind you to know there's a new party watching. Damn this city and it's fucking vigilantes.
A hand lands on the handle of your wheelchair, you swing your elbow, nearly catching a covered face before they hastily block and slide in front of you as they push you back into your seat. And then they…. Squat down? Hands up placatingly as they put themselves in your line of sight.
“easy, you're not in danger.”
The voice is deep, forcedly so. Apparently a huge fan of the color black. The ears on the mask nearly make you laugh, this must be the bat-man red Robin and the staff's talked about.
“What is it with you people creeping up on me, I'm starting to feel targeted.” You spit out as you cross your arms and lean back in the wheelchair, you're subtly thinking about whether you could kick him hard enough to shove him off the roof. He looks sturdy, it'd be difficult from the chair.
He doesn't react, just lowers his hands once he's sure you're not gonna swing at him out of fear. “I'm sorry for scaring you, you're not targeted by the heroes i promise, i just wanted to fill you in on the trial. Your attackers been found guilty today.”
That catches your attention, attacker? Everyone had been walking on glass around you, tiptoeing around the subject of how you supposedly wound up in the hospital here. “….. Tell me more.”
🔹🔹🔹
The man sits on the ledge in front of you, one knee pulled to his chest with his elbow resting on it. Somehow you'd wound up with the cape in your lap as a blanket was Thor's cape detachable? he's…chattier than you thought he'd be, the mask thing hides much of his face so it's hard to read him but he sends to have warmed up to you quickly while telling you the story.
“…so at what point did the ‘fear gas’ happen? Before or after i got butstocked in the head?”
“After, the young Wayne boy covered your face with a handkerchief but you'd already been dosed. You're lucky it didn't do worse, some people don't recover from a two hit combo like that.” he looks away, glancing down at the street for a moment.
“The young…. Damian right? I met him yesterday…or should i say i was reintroduced to him?”
Tilting your head back you sigh, putting on an air of tired incredulity, not that it's entirely fake. At least you're getting some concrete information now, attacked at some charity event with your ‘family’, some Mafia type guys got too aggressive with the youngest two and you tried to jump in, ending up with a metal butstock to the temple and got hit with some kind of hallucinogenic gas? You'll worry over the specifics later.
“Yes…i believe that's his name. How do you…feel about that? Meeting children you don't remember. A family That's strangers to you…” he shifts, stretching his leg out and leaning forward with both elbows on his knees, his attention solely on you.
You hum, thinking the question through as you glance at distant skyscrapers for a moment. What would an amnesiac say?
“…it's strange, imagine an adult stranger calling you dad or mom, i don't know anything about those people, their stories, their interests, and the billionaire husband thing…i don't even know if I'm some…arm candy trophy spouse or what that situation is like.”
The hero nods slowly, his hands clasping together and interlocking as he studies you.
“…. I'll say that, Bruce Wayne seemed genuinely distraught, when you were being wheeled out of the gala….i don't know him that well, but i think he genuinely cares about you and respects your marriage. He was willing to ditch the bachelor life for you after all, so maybe there's genuine connection there?”
“we'll see about that.” You shrug, shivering slightly despite the cape in your lap. It's cold up here this late at night.
“Let's get you back inside, you're immunocompromised enough as is right now.” He stands, striding closer and grabbing the handles of your wheelchair and turning you away from the edge of the building.
🔹🔹🔹
By the time Bruce makes it back to the cave it's nearly three, the engine rumbles idly as he sits in the front seat lost in thought. They were…. Different again, just like Tim said. Though they seemed more genuine to him, more open about how they're feeling. It makes sense, he tells himself. They were suddenly thrust into a life they don't remember, of course they're struggling. The whole family is.
He cuts the engine and climbs out of the batmobile, he was gonna do more work tonight…. He just couldn't stop himself once they started talking, the plastic smile off their face, the relief in their body language, How they looked with his cape wrapped around them. He walks past the training areas and the med bay, finding the bat computer chair isn't empty.
“Tim?” He pulls his cowl off as he approaches, running a hand through his tousled hair.
“B, you're early.” He hardly looks up, energy drink and cola cans decorate the desk around him like some frat boys dorm decorations, Tim's eyes are glued to the screens, going over toxicology reports.
“Not that early, i was…busy. anything new?” Bruce leans over to get a look at the screens, his right elbow resting on the back of the desk chair.
“did you know that some studies suggest that gingko biloba, one of the oldest living tree species, may be very beneficial to people with memory issues including short term memory and dementia and Alzheimer's?” Tim rattles off like he practiced his lines, only briefly glancing away from the screens in front of him to glance up at Bruce with what Bruce can only guess is an attempt to look reassuring.
“That's interesting…. Still nothing on the fear gas. I take it?”
Tim sags, wiping a hand over his (bloodshot) eyes as he goes back to scrolling. “No. It's just regular old fear gas it seems. LSD, epinephrine, PCP and fear toxin.”
Bruce straightens up and sighs, running a hand through his hair again. “Well…good work chum. At least we know for sure what we're looking at here.” He pats Tim's shoulder heavily and turns to leave the cave to trudge up to his office, but hesitates for a second. “Tim?”
Tim perks up slightly, swiveling in the chair to face Bruce. “Hmm?”
“Go to bed.”

Let me make it up to u - Fred weasley
₊˚ ✧ ‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿ ✧ ₊ ˚ ☁️💌☁️ ₊˚ ✧ ‿︵‿୨୧‿︵‿ ✧ ₊˚₊
Kinda enjoying to write fluff one shots these days..weird..
Summary: You catch Fred talking to Angelina in a place not visited often so it brings misunderstanding with it.
☁️ Fluff one shot ☁️
˚˖𓍢ִ໋☁️✧˚.💌༘⋆˚˖𓍢ִ໋☁️✧˚.💌༘⋆˚˖𓍢ִ໋☁️✧˚.💌༘⋆˚˖𓍢ִ໋☁️✧˚.💌⋆˚˖𓍢ִ໋☁️✧˚.💌༘
Fred and you were dating for 10 months so almost a year. Since the Yule ball you became more in love with each other.
After class you were making your way up to the tower to enjoy the nice view and some peace. It was rare that people went up there but you needed that and it was your favorite spot to hang around even with Fred.
Finally up there you raised your head just to see Fred talking to Angelina. Your heart stopped. You almost couldn't believe that it's real life.
You stood there frozen for almost two minutes. They didn't notice you after you grabbed onto the railing of the stairs, feeling like you gonna pass out in a second.
They gave you a shocked look. You were good at holding your tears back while giving Fred an look of absolute desperation and devastation.
"Y/n.." Fred whispered before you turned around, running down the stairs with tears escaping your eyes.
He immediately left Angelina to run after you.
'Y/n wait!' He called after you but you ignored him. You just wanted to be alone, not wanting to see him.
'It's not what you think it is!' He continued trying.
You ran out of the castle getting few looks even from Harry and his friends.
'Oh no..That smells like trouble..' Hermione said to the round.
You hid behind a big stone and sinked to the ground, just crying while the wind was blowing through your hair.
Fred was quick enough to see where you hid and went to you without hesitation kneeling in front of you.
'Y/n please let me explain..' He placed his hand on yours which was wrapped around your knees.
You pushed his hand away and looked at him with red, tears filled eyes.
'There's nothing to explain, Fred..I saw you with her alone away from others..' You stood up ready to leave but Fred grabbed your arm, moving his hands to your shoulders.
'We were just talking...About you actually.." He said calmly looking into your eyes. He clearly felt guilty, continuing: 'I thought talking face to face in a place filled with people would bring false suspicion..Clearly I was wrong and I'm so sorry if it seemed like I betrayed you..You know I would never, my love..' He placed his two fingers under your chin, stroking your cheek with his thumb, moving your chin up to let you see his soft smile.
'I wish I could trust you but..' a tear ran down your cheek.
His smile disappeared immediately and turned to a worried look.
'But I don't know if I can trust you..It seemed-' Fred cut you off. 'I know it looked like I was betraying you but I swear that's not the case..'
He took a few steps closer to you.
'What were you discussing about me then and what would she know? We aren't even friends..'
You looked up at him, still resisting his touch so he gave you some space and put his hands into his pockets.
'Well..You know I never had a girlfriend nor were interested in any girl but I still wanted to spend a nice day with you..take you on a date so..' He struggled a little, feeling slightly embarrassed about it but then looked back at you.
'So I asked her what girls like to do on a date and she gave me some ideas..We decided on one..Well I won't tell you cuz I want it to be a surprise but you should know that I'd never betray you..I can consider myself the luckiest guy on this planet..I wouldn't ruin it like that.'
Fred carefully took your hand and gave it a kiss like a gentleman.
You finally stopped crying but Fred reached up to wipe your from tears wet cheeks.
'I'm really sorry, baby..Can you please forgive me?' He asked.
You nodded. 'Yes I can..'
He gave you a smile and pulled you into a kiss. The both of you closed your eyes, enjoying your lips on another.
You had your hands placed on his chest while he had his on your waist. After kissing he pulled you into a hug.
'Let me make it up to you..Let's go on a date tomorrow by sunset.' He suggested.
'Sure let's do this.' You smiled while looking up at him. All happy and giggly again.
'Love to see you smiling again.' He smiled and the two of you returned to the castle.
The next day in the evening, Fred lead you hand in hand to the place next to a big tree, where the two of you could have some privacy.
You didn't know what he had planned until you saw everything prepared.
The date idea from Angelina was a picnic. One of the most romantic date ideas. You loved it. You couldn't stop smiling while holding onto his hand.
Next to the food on the blanket laid a bouquet of your favorite flowers. It was absolutely beautiful and you immediately threw yourself around his neck hugging him. He loved seeing you this happy and it was a great apology for what happened yesterday.

I definitely am nodding quickly to all of the above (and did when I first read this when you posted, but didn't add because all I had were nods, heh). Now as I'm rewatching S1 we don't need to think about how it's the nth time shhh, I had the thought that the side eye could have also been related to how this conversation and these promises should have come before. Even in this, I don't blame Viktor for not waiting on Jayce to do more, hearing him say "I'm going to leave the council", instead of "I have left the council" or even "Fuck the council" must have brought about a sense of resignation. In S01E05, after Jayce hooks up with Mel while Viktor is bleeding out for the hexcore (l o l), Jayce had the future laid out in front of him if he had been able to snap out of his avoidance and see it. I wish they gave us more of the conversation Jayce and Viktor had in the hospital after Viktor asks how much time he has because I wonder how it would have paralleled this one. In both, Jayce feels immensely guilty. In both, he's trying to figure out his choices, their consequences, and what's important. Also in both, Viktor reaches a new level of "fuck it" and goes all in with only a slight cursory hesitation. Jayce chooses safety and the institutions -- he has a belief that they will help him create the future he wants. Viktor absolutely does not, and does not have the luxury of time to find out.
The unfortunate truth for them is that Jayce doesn't snap out of this pattern when Viktor is in the hospital, when much of this could have been turned around, or at least rerouted. And he doesn't completely snap out of it when Viktor dies. I see him actually doubling down in a sort of extinction burst of all of it in this scene, and then the rest of s2 through the pit up until their final scenes is him not just snapping out of it, but coming to terms fully with death, the nihility and joy of life, and how everything between birth and death is both painful beyond belief and devastatingly beautiful. Viktor is all of that, and then he finds in Jayce the kind of eternal and unconditional care and admiration that is a key part of humanity. One that can't be evolved, measured, or contained. Only Jayce can show him that.
UGH I CAN'T THEY MAKE ME SO SICK THEY'RE SO COSMICALLY INTERTWINED WHILE ALSO HUMAN AF *heavy breathing*
Listen I know there have been approximately a billion posts about the Divorce but I had to add to the noise.
This conversation really is such a succinct breakup with so much to it. Jayce finally has his moment to say something to Viktor after not knowing if he may ever get the chance at all, only for it all to come out scrambled. I just know he was punching the air at 3am redoing this conversation over and over.
Meanwhile Viktor was acclimating to the sheer body horror of being alive after dying, his own form nearly completely unknown to him, with this "recursive charge" thrumming in his skull that drives him to the most destitute part of the city.
Jayce (ready to beg like his life depends on it): I have royally fucked up and I will be seeking atonement forever for it, please please please love me, don't leave, guilt guilt guilt I'll die from guilt and failure right here on the floor
And my favorite part: 👹 where are you going 👹
I have been obsessed with the delivery of this line because it is exactly the phrase and tone used towards someone you are painfully intimate with and experiencing a rupture (aka divorcing). The panic of 'I cannot let you leave' with 'I'll die' and 'you're not allowed' while also so emotional that all that comes out is a sad anger. Like I can't even capture it. It's about the ownership or entitlement. It's not just "why are you exiting this conversation, that's rude and this is important" but something darker and more pathetic. I DON'T KNOW I JUST RECOGNIZE IT and wanted to ramble about it. Perhaps oddly, it is actually this line (juxtaposed with "it was affection", I'm suffering so much) that locked in them as already being intimately involved for me, beyond friends or lab mates.
These two are just on two entirely different planes of existence in this scene and it's so LAYERED AND UUHHGGFJH this show is going to drive me into my own recursive whateverthefuck.
Jayce is flooding with too much everything, love, fear, desperation, anger, hope, dread, etc, and looking for someone to hold it with him. And Viktor is a husk. And yet, they miss each other, not balancing one another, because they might as well be talking to each other through the looking glass. IT'S JUUUUST AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH lmao
#jayvik#arcane season two#jayce talis#viktor arcane#arcane#scene analysis#probably overanalysis but that's my kink so leave me alone#also to your question about how I posted the clip lol -- it involves#🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️#and simply screen recording on my desktop then trimming it down#nothing fancy just not exactly mmmmmmmlegal or whatever

I like to think that in early post-canon, Connor just sat down and ruminated over what happened in the CyberLife tower and how he wishes he could have saved the other Connor.
Connor was in deep thought. Hank asks him what he's thinking about.
"The other Connor," he responded, voice kind of distant.
Hank stills. "Oh. Yep, that sure has gotta be weird-"
"No, that's not what I meant, I was thinking about that moment when you shot him." Connor looks up. His LED is blinking and changing colors, moving in one rapid circle.
Hank opens his mouth, but nothing comes out. "Look, if I hadn't shot him- I know that-"
The Lieutenant couldn't formulate a proper response.
He's conflicted. They were being threatened and the other Connor would not have hesitated to kill them both if it was necessary for his mission. But he also wants to show Connor that he doesn't think of androids as objects anymore, that he does see them as alive beings.
"I understand why you did it, Lieutenant. Trust me, I would have done the same thing in your position. Deviants died because of me. It's just..."
How can he say what he wanted to say? What did he want?
He wishes that it could have gone another way. That he could have convinced him, that he would have seen that he could be free, that he didn't have to obey.
"I feel...regret. Regret that I wasn't able to get through to him, like Markus to me."
Hank sighed and sat down next to him. His lips pressed tight together.
Understanding.
"Yeah, guilt sucks. It never really leaves you, but... I think I've come to learn that it doesn't have to be present all the time."
Connor furrowed. "Thinking about not thinking about it makes it worse. Like if I wasn't thinking about it, I've just accepted what happened, that I will never think about it again and will be discarded. It makes me feel like an evil person."
Hank turned around, looking at him, but Connor's stare remained towards the floor. "Hey, don't think like that. You're not evil, evil are the ones to order you to kill, no questions asked. Most of the things you feel guilty about were before you even became deviant, right?"
Breathing was harder. It wasn't panic. It was frustration.
"Yes, but not with him. Not with the other Connor. That was after I became deviant. With him, I could have done something. But I didn't.
I just wish I could have saved him."
(Now on ao3)

SUNGHOON - Jealous ( slight smut )
Sunghoon getting jealous
Pairing: Sunghoon X FemReader
Genre: Obscenity
Warning: Contains explicit content, unprotected sex, suggestive, penetration, explicit language, climax, sex, swearing, loss of virginity, hickeys, messy make-out sessions, dirty talk, compliments, rough sex, touching bruises, handcuffs, chains, sadomasochism , masochism, brands, public sex, oral
The atmosphere was tense in Y/N's apartment. The soft music played in the background, but the sound seemed to not reach the two of them. Sunghoon was leaning against the table, arms crossed, eyes sparkling with anger as he watched Y/N fiddling with their phone.
Sunghoon: (in a cold voice) Who was that guy?
Y/N looked up, clearly confused.
Y/N: Which guy? What face? What are you talking about, Sunghoon?
Sunghoon: (narrowing his eyes) The guy you were laughing and talking with today. I saw you two at the café before you met me.
Y/N: (sighing) Ah, Minho? He just came to ask about a project. It's work-related, it has nothing to do with it.
Sunghoon let out a dry laugh, shaking his head.
Sunghoon: Ah, of course. And did you really need to laugh like that? That didn't seem like 'work stuff.'
Y/N: (raising their voice) Are you hearing what you're saying? I was being polite! I'm not going to treat people badly just because you're insecure!
The tension in the air increased, and Sunghoon's face became even more closed off. He took a few steps towards her, his eyes burning with jealousy.
Sunghoon: (low and intense) Insecure? I know you, Y/N. I know the way you smile... and that smile wasn't for him.
Y/N: (staring at him) Oh, so now you even know the meaning of my smiles? Congratulations, you are a fortune teller!
He took her by the wrist, but gently, enough to capture her attention. Their faces were close, their breaths mingled.
Sunghoon: (hoarse voice) Don't test my patience, Y/N. You know I hate this feeling... Of someone looking at you as if they had the right.
Y/N: (challenging) And you think that gives you the right to act like a crazy possessive person? You don't control me, Sunghoon.
For a moment, neither of them said anything. The music played, increasing the tension between the two. Sunghoon let out a bitter laugh and ran his hand through his hair, clearly struggling against his own feelings.
Sunghoon: (almost whispering) I just... hate the idea of losing you, you know? It consumes me.
Y/N felt her heart race. Despite everything, she knew that Sunghoon's words were genuine. He was lost in a whirlwind of emotions. She approached, gently touching his face.
Y/N: Sunghoon... you won't lose me. But you need to trust me.
He held her hand to his face, his eyes fixed on hers. Then, without warning, he pulled her into an intense kiss, filled with all the repressed feelings.
Y/N: (whispering between his lips) This doesn't solve anything...
Sunghoon: (with a crooked smile) No, but it's a start.
He picked her up, his strong hands gripping her thighs as he carried her towards the bedroom. His eyes were fixed on hers, Sunghoon's gaze was intense, almost fierce.
Sunghoon pushed the bedroom door with his foot, his expression revealing something between desire and desperation. He placed her on the bed carefully, but his movements were urgent, as if he feared she might escape.
Sunghoon: (softly, close to her ear) You are mine, Y/N. It always will be... I'll do anything to have you all to myself.
The grave tone of his voice sent a shiver down Y/N's spine. The weight of his words was palpable, laden with an obsession that both attracted and made her hesitate. He ran his fingers along the line of her face, as if he were etching every detail into his memory, before bringing his lips back to hers.
The kisses started intense, full of repressed passion, but soon became slower, deeper. Sunghoon explored every inch of her mouth, as if he wanted to claim every part of it. His hands traced paths along her waist, slowly climbing up her back, as he pulled her even closer.
Y/N closed her eyes, feeling the way he held her body, as if she were something precious, something he feared losing at any moment. But there was something more: an almost desperate need to prove how important she was.
Sunghoon: (with a hoarse voice, as his eyes slid over her) You don't understand, Y/N. Just the thought of someone near you, looking at you... I lose control. You are everything to me.
Sunghoon: (hoarse voice, as he ran his fingers along her jawline) I need you, Y/N... more than anything else.
She felt her heart race with his words, the serious and sincere tone leaving her speechless. Before she could respond, he leaned in and kissed her again, but this time the kiss was different. It was deep, intense, as if he were trying to convey everything he felt — the love, the fear, the obsession.
Sunghoon began to slide his hands over her body, his agile fingers reaching the hem of her blouse. He lifted it slightly, his movements careful yet determined, as he removed the piece of clothing. His eyes fixed on her, admiring her as if she were a work of art.
Sunghoon: (softly, almost like a whisper to himself) You are so beautiful...
Y/N felt her cheeks burn with the intensity of his gaze, but she didn't have much time to process it because he was soon leaning in again, kissing the space between her neck and shoulder, leaving a warm trail wherever his lips passed.
Meanwhile, she brought her hands to his chest, sliding her fingers over the shirt he was wearing. With a hesitant movement, she began to unbutton it, feeling the warmth of his skin under her fingers. He helped her, pulling the shirt off her shoulders and letting it fall to the floor without ceremony.
The skin-to-skin contact made them both sigh. Sunghoon's hands traced every curve of her body, as if he wanted to know every detail, every inch. He slid his fingers along her waist, stopping only to unbutton her pants and slowly remove them, his eyes never leaving hers.
Sunghoon: (in a low voice, while watching her) I need you to know... how much you are mine, how much I want you.
She felt a shiver run down her spine as he spoke, the sincerity and intensity in each word being almost palpable. Sunghoon was not just in love; he was completely consumed by her.
With care, he removed the rest of her clothes, his fingers brushing against her skin in an almost reverent manner. He was taking his time, as if each piece removed was a moment for him to appreciate even more what was before him.
When she tried to pull him closer, her lips searching for his, he stopped her, holding her wrists gently.
Sunghoon: (looking deeply into her eyes) No, Y/N. Today, I'm going to show you how much you mean to me. I don't want to rush... I want you to feel everything.
His words made her swallow hard. There was something in his voice, something in his expression, that made her realize how vulnerable he was at that moment. This was not just desire; it was something deeper, almost desperate.
He kissed her again, but now his lips explored every part of her — the neck, the shoulders, the breasts. He lingered in each area, as if he wanted to leave his mark, as if he wanted her to remember that she was his.
When it was his turn to remove the rest of his own clothes, he did so calmly, his eyes fixed on hers, as if he wanted her to see everything he was willing to offer. As soon as the last pieces were discarded, he approached again, the heat of their bodies now without barriers.
He leaned over her, their fingers intertwining as he looked at her with a mixture of adoration and intensity.
Sunghoon: (whispering) You are everything I need, Y/N. Everything I will always need.
He trailed his lips down Y/N's neck, leaving a path of slow, hot kisses while his hands explored her body with reverence. Each touch seemed to carry a silent message: "You are mine." Only mine."
Sunghoon: (whispering against her skin) You are so perfect... I have no idea what I did to deserve you..
When their bodies finally united, there was a moment of pure stillness. Sunghoon closed his eyes, as if he were completely absorbing the sensation, while Y/N arched their body under his, a sigh escaping their lips.
Sunghoon: (with a hoarse voice, looking into her eyes) You have no idea what you do to me, Y/N. How much I love you... how much I want you.
Each of his movements was deliberate, full of care, but at the same time intense. He held her hands above her head, intertwining his fingers with hers, as if he wanted to keep her even closer. His eyes never left hers for a second, as if he wanted to make sure she felt everything he was feeling at that moment.
Y/N: (whispering between sighs) Sunghoon... I am yours. Always have been.
Her words seemed to ignite something in him. He leaned in to kiss her again, the kiss deep and full of passion. Each touch, each movement seemed like a declaration — he wanted to show her, without a shadow of a doubt, how important she was.
The rhythm between them gradually increased, both of them getting lost in the connection they shared. Sunghoon whispered fragmented words against her lips, praising her, saying how much he loved her, how beautiful she was, and how much he needed her.
When the final moment approached, they could both feel the climax building like a wave that could not be contained. Their gazes met again, and they held on even tighter, as if the world could collapse around them and it wouldn't matter.
Sunghoon: (almost out of breath) Stay with me, Y/N. Always...
And then, together, they reached the climax, their bodies trembling with the intensity of the moment. The room filled with a heavy silence, broken only by their irregular breathing. Sunghoon collapsed beside her, immediately pulling her into his arms, holding her as if she were his anchor.
He ran his fingers through her hair, still trying to catch his breath, while gently kissing her forehead.
Sunghoon: (softly, with a tired smile) I love you so much... You are everything to me.
Y/N nestled against him, feeling the warmth of his body and the weight of his words.
Y/N: (whispering) I love you too, Sunghoon. I will always be yours.
They remained like that, intertwined, allowing the comfortable silence to speak for them. In that moment, all insecurities, fears, and doubts seemed to have vanished, leaving only the certainty that they belonged to each other.

I too sent my ask to the wrong place so insert drabble request herd
"You're... Lady Aphrodite?" Grian's eyes flicker from the goddess' face to her toes, repeating this action over and over as if to commit this appearance of hers to memory. Though it seemed difficult to actually gauge what her true appearance was as he couldn't help but see Pearl and his mom separately but also at the same time.
Some weird appearance magic, most likely. Not unusual for the goddess of beauty, Grian thinks.
Aphrodite could probably see the confusion through his wary expression, her grin widening playfully while her eyes squinted in interest, "That I am, little sweet thing," she replied as she fixed herself on the little loveseat she made comfortable on that Grian could've sworn wasn't available in the hotel room last time he was awake.
Mumbo looked equally confused about the appearance of the seat, but even more confused regarding the appearance of the goddess.
Actually, he seemed more nervous than confused, Grian observed. The taller demigod was red in the face and seemed to have a difficult time looking at Aphrodite at all. The child of Hermes shot a look at his best friend, but he avoided eye contact.
This is actually the most nervous Mumbo Grian has ever seen, and they've been through a lot of nervewracking situations together.
They were mid-retrieval quest. An unofficial one actually. No one in the camp took the mysterious disappearance of Grian and Mumbo's little Grumbot seriously so no official search party was given.
'Just make another one.' Yeah, right. Try asking two parents who had lost their kid the same thing.
So they did whatever smart demigod would do: disappear from the camp from long hours of time while avoiding any iris messages to find Grumbot themselves.
"I heard you were in... a bit of a pickle. A little trouble, hm?" Aphrodite broke through Grian's little internal rant (one he's been surprisingly doing often these days). He focused his eyes back on the Pearl-Mom fusion.
He pursed his lips in hesitation, "Not really. Even if you had a way to help us find Grumbot, we don't need it," he lied. Honestly, they've spent most of their week wandering around all the three realms to see where Grumbot has been, having not found any leads at all so the rest of the days were spent hopping from hotel to hotel room as they went through their small evidence of suspected Grumbot locations.
Or rather, they kept arguing over and over again as Grian was stubborn with continuing their travel while Mumbo was stubborn about going home as his anxiety genuinely cannot take anymore monster encounters.
Of course, none of this was unknown to the goddess, rolling her eyes at Grian's attempts at lying to a divine being of all people, "Don't worry, son of Hermes. I wasn't going to help you with that part anyway," she pushed herself off her seat and went on over to the pair. Somehow she made even such a simple thing look graceful.
It made Grian shiver. Even more when Aphrodite placed herself behind in-between them, a supposedly encouraging hand on their shoulders as she made a friendly gesture of pushing them together.
Grian doesn't know if that was him shaking or if he was imagining it. He wasn't that afraid of gods, was he?
He then looked down and only now noticed that Mumbo's shivering hands were squeezing his wrist like crazy. Grian had half the mind to scrunch up painfully from how hard he was gripping, shimmying his wrist out so he could hold Mumbo's hand properly and squeeze back in hopes to comfort him.
It didn't work, considering that Mumbo went even more red and had now squeezed his eyes shut. Grian rolled his eyes and glared up at Aphrodite who was watching on with mirth.
"You're making him nervous."
Aphrodite tilted her head and batted her eyelashes innocently, "Why, is it me that's doing that or is it you?"
Grian fought back a scowl. This is why he didn't like interacting with Aphrodite, always taking on a teasing tone like she knew something he didn't. They then end up talking in circles and circles because she has all the time in the world to lead people on however she likes.
Damn gods.
"What do you want, Aphrodite?" The child of Hermes urged for an answer, tugging Mumbo away from the goddess as he regarded her with annoyance. Not that she took any offense, his annoyance served to amuse her even more.
"Don't give me that, dove. You need me, you know?"
"I don't quite remember a situation where we need the goddess of love and beauty at all."
Grian felt a tug on his hand and he looked up to find that Mumbo had opened his eyes back up to silently plead him to stop his disrespectful tone.
Which, he would've followed otherwise, but he's already exhausted his small bar of patience to this sneak out quest, so he decided to ignore his best friend.
Aphrodite giggled at their little small exchange and leaned over to coo at them, "Clearly you do!" She tapped the two's joined hands. Grian felt himself redden for some reason but kept a terrible stern face.
"Small demigod, I would have thought your camp taught you the importance of getting along with your questmates, especially at such a dangerous time."
Grian had half the mind to take note of how many times Aphrodite has called him 'small' and 'little' and half the mind to tug Mumbo closer to his side defensively, "We get along just fine. Isn't that right, Mumbo?"
Mumbo somehow had the audacity to hesitate before answering, "U-uh, yeah. Somewhat..."
Grian's jaw dropped and he snapped his head to look at Mumbo inquiringly, "What the Hades is that answer?"
"Well, it's- you know! It's been a tough few days!" Mumbo squeaked out.
The child of Hermes furrowed his eyebrows together and looked away with a pout, taking a lot of offense with how Mumbo was wording how they were doing as a pair.
It's not like Grian was treating him too badly. Mumbo was annoying too!
The two looked away from each other and went quiet, leaving room for Aphrodite to laugh at their small banter, "Mumbo, dear, you really have the audacity to be saying those things while you were openly adoring the form you've made of me?"
Mumbo made a noise of embarrassment in the back of his throat in response. His shoulders hiked up to his ears like he was trying to hide away like a turtle, except he disappointedly does not have a shell to hide away in. On the other hand, this reaction and Aphrodite's gentle scolding made Grian much more confused.
He was frustrated and he didn't know to what. Either because Aphrodite, and apparently even Mumbo, knew something he didn't or because Aphrodite was overwhelming his best friend.
Despite Grian's current feelings on Mumbo after multiple arguments, it didn't really feel right to not defend him from whatever's going on, "What are you trying to get at, lady?"
Aphrodite flashed a pointed glare at Grian but was quick to get past the continous disrespect in favor of embarrassing Mumbo even further.
"I'm sure you already know, if you listened to that son of Athena. My appearance is an entirely unique experience to each person."
She took place behind the tall demigod, her hands on Mumbo's shoulders, and maneuvered him with her as she forced the demigod to be face to face with Grian, "Tell me first, Grian dear. What do you see me as?"
"...Like both my sister and my mom at the same time?"
"Extremely sweet of you," Aphrodite smiled slightly, "Now how about you ask Mumbo here what he sees me as?"
The son of Hermes looks towards Mumbo, who couldn't even hold his eyes as he had shutted them in embarrassment again. Grian suddenly felt impatient and he reached out to hold Mumbo's hand to tug at it to get his attention.
It didn't seem to help, and it made Mumbo look like he was about to actually melt into a puddle.
"Mumbo, how do you see her?" Grian asks, wanting to just get this over with. He would've been patient with his best friend if this were a normal situation, but the presence of Aphrodite was not one his mental couldn't really welcome for a long while.
However, Mumbo didn't answer, ending up stammering literally every vowel out without actually saying anything.
Grian groaned impatiently, "It's really not that hard!"
"It is much harder than you actually think it is!" Mumbo squeaked out in defense.
"Just say it!"
"No! You'll make fun of me!"
"Why are you being so-!"
Aphrodite cut them off with a loud click of her tongue, tutting disappointedly at the wondrous display of 'friendship'.
"See? This is why I told you two you needed me."
Grian yells heatedly, "I told you we get along fine! This is just-"
The goddess ignored him as she cooed at Mumbo, ruffling his hair in false pretense of adoration, "Don't worry, darling Mumbo! Your step mother will help you since you've been such a behaved boy!"
"Since when did you consider yourself my mom?" Mumbo squawked in confusion, making a face mixed between disgust and bafflement as she watched Aphrodite grip at both of his and Grian's joined hands, "And wait, what are you planning on doing-"
He didn't get to finish his sentence, suddenly caught off guard with how his hand suddenly felt so numb. Grian were better at keeping his expression at bay while Mumbo instinctively tried to tug his hand back.
... But he couldn't?
"My job here is done!" Aphrodite announces with a clap, turning around to leave the hotel room.
Grian didn't seem to catch onto what happened, turning to watch the goddess leave with his jaw agape, "But you didn't do anything?!" He screeched, "Come back here! What did you do!?"
The demigod tried to go after her, doubtful of the fact that she was leaving without doing anything, but he found himself tugged back into place by Mumbo.
Grian tried to tug his hand back, "Mumbo, what are you doing? Let go!"
"I can't..." Mumbo mumbled fearfully.
"What do you mean you can't?"
The son of Hephaestus swallowed nervously and untangled his fingers from Grian, but whenever he tried to actually pull his hand away, his palm wouldn't let up.
He tried again and again to show the problem. Grian's face blanched.
"Oh for Olympus' sake..."
