(tw: mention of animal death)
a few years ago, a pregnant cat kept coming to my place, sleeping here every night. she gave birth while I was on holidays and when I saw her again she was so happy to be let in. I thought she was going to come back with her kittens but I never saw her again. one day a girl knocked at my door crying asking if I saw her cat and I was like yeah that was lowkey my cat too. she told me later that the cat got run over in a parking lot and I was devastated. now it's taking everything I have to not kidnap the cat that's been coming over that I was told to not worry about because he's "always outside"

the likeability paradox. ( teaser )
this fic has now been posted, read here !
pairing. joel miller x fem!reader
synopsis. joel miller is not a man who strives to be liked, with a chip on his shoulder and a scowl on his face, until his world is flipped on its axis when the pretty young thing, with an irritatingly unwavering smile and the literal sun shinning out her ass, that lives under bill and frank's roof says those five damned words: i don't like you, joel.
warnings. enemies to lovers ig, slow burn (i have intentions to drag this out into several long oneshots that can be read separately), unrequited love (except you will never catch joel miller admitting he feels anything beyond grief, hunger and exhaustion), pining, sunshine!reader, grumpy!joel aka canon joel, kinda perv!joel (if you squint), implied queer!tess, undefined age gap (reader implied late-20s), canon violence, smut (oral- f receiving, fingering, praise, degradation, possessiveness, panty stealing, dirty talk, dubcon ig, hints at ass-play, discussions of a lacklustre sex-life pre-apocalypse). this is set prior to ellie!!
word count. 10k. ( predicted )
hyde’s input. was hoping to finish and post this today in celebration of pedge's bday, but uni assignments got in the way and here i am posting a teaser instead of the full fic :(
nsfw beneath the cut, 18+ only !! ( unedited )
his only saving grace is that he can't see you.
hearing your pretty whines, and hand-muffled moans, and heavy intakes of breath is enough to curse him for the rest of his waking days, condemned to wander the wastelands of earth knowing the noises you make on the brinks of pleasure, with a touch-starved man satiating his hunger for flesh and blood with the sugary sins of your soaked cunt.
burrowing deeper into you, his consciousness rips through the fog of his lust to curse out his perversions as the tip of his hooked nose bumps against the puckered entrance of your ass. it does nothing to stop him tearing his tongue away from your clit, flattened as he drags it over the expanse of your cunt, and over your taint and up the crack of your behind.
"n- ah," you can't deny him while sounding so eager for more, the tip of his tongue now circling your back entrance, mimicking the treatment previously given to your little pearl. "no, don't, not there."
next time, he thinks, we'll try that next time.
sights returned to his previous desires, he works to rip every sigh, and every whine, and every dirty little song you'll grace him with. the sound of whatever record tess has put on in the other room becomes a safety blanket, dousing you both in the warm protection of not being overheard.
and, then, he does it, he makes the ultimate mistake.
his eyes flicker to the left and he finds himself faced with the stove that sits within bill and frank's- and, by an extension he does not enjoy to remember, your- kitchen. there's little that's remarkable about the appliance, just your standard, everyday oven that he's sure you've spent countless hours cooking up those comforting meals he's come to anticipate each time tess tells him they're due a visit.
except, the oven door is made of glass.
glass which now paints the most pornographic masterpiece for no eyes but his own. you, with hands gripping the island's counter like your life depends on it, and the skirt of that goddamn dress he's envied all evening for the way it got to rest against the warmth of your thighs, and your head thrown back, curving your spine in a way that has him wondering about the other ways he'd be able to bend and break you beneath his touch. and then there's him, down on his knees like a devotee laying himself down to worship his goddess, face burrowed in the space between your legs, mouth devouring you from behind with the help of his hands, the same ones that had strangled a man less than a day before and reigned fire down on countless others for years, that now grip the meat of your thighs to pull you back onto him, fucking his tongue into your sopping heat.
the image will haunt him more than any man he's killed.

TWST as Sanders Sides incorrect quotes
I switched around different options for Roman cuz im still unsure–I tried Vil, Sebek, and Cater. I think also Kalim could easily switch with Ortho, especially cuz how Patton is with Virgil
I just copied literally everything from this comp lol so it's pretty lengthy thus imma add a
Azul: as they say in theater, Fracture a femur
Idia: what?
Azul: the actual saying is "break a leg," buy I improved it.
Idia: I hate both of those equally.
~
Vil: should go towards reaching some sort of peak!
MC: some sort of beak...
Vil: what? No.
MC: OH, like climbing a tall tree all the way up to a bird's nest, birds have beaks, and from there I will be able to take flight.
Vil: ... you know what? Sure. You took the long way around but we got there.
~
Jamil: Guilty as charged–
Idia: hi, hello, what do you want?
Jamil: *sassy lip smack* thank you, Idia, I love how you just ruined my dramatic introduction. Mwah mwah, so good.
Idia: well your face ruined my day, so we'll call it even.
~
Kalim: I don't want to make you think you're some...
Sebek: Stupid, dirty, rotten, filthy, silly, Billy, no good for nothing, white, rat, scoundrel bitch.
Kalim: okay, thank you, Sebek, for your help.
Sebek: you're welcome.

MC: honestly I'm good,,, fam
Kalim: now don't you go shortening the word family by cutting out my three favorite letters: I-L-Y.
~
MC: sounds like he's against [some twst equivalent of nazis??? Ig??? Idk????], so... why not hear him out, yknow?
Idia: that cannot be where the bar is.
~
Azul: I've taken this form because I didn't want to be too... invasive.
Vil: you very much did not succeed.
~
Cater: two tickets to Surprise City, you and me, right? I get the window seat.
~
Idia: did I screw everything up?
Vil: no, I threw out your vote so you couldn't do that.
~
Jamil: why would that be wrong?
Kalim: because MC gave their word. But you wouldn't know anything about words, would ya mister?
Jamil: I don't know what you mean.
Kalim: giving your word is an act of honesty between–
Jamil: what, I can't understand you, I don't know anything about words
Kalim: okay, alright, we've got a smart Alec over here, huh?
~
Vil: I would appreciate it if you didn't talk about me behind my back.
Azul: oh, I wouldn't talk about you behind your back. You would still hear everything I was saying. I would talk about you in another room.
Vil: ... fair enough.
~
Idia: I'm too emotionally unstable for jury duty, can I be excused?
~
Cater: why didn't they just talk to us! ... More.
~
MC: You're the boss, hoss.
Sebek: what does that mean? I'm not hoss. I'm Sebek.
~
Idia: I never thought I would be able to say this without sounding like a hypocrite, but you are a huge nerd.
(Yes ik that was a Logan ergo Azul line but this is myyyyyyy incorrect quotes post)
~
Jamil: does everyone understand their parts?
Cater: um, I broke my gavel
Jamil: I don't care–Wonderful.
~
Idia: are you actually asking me that question?… I’m genuinely asking because I-I can’t tell. D-do you want me to—I can count them out—

Idia: 7,430
Azul: no, no, no—
Idia: you’re just so literal, I-I don’t—
~
Cater: BOOOOO
MC: you don’t want me to live a long healthy life?
Cater: I mean like sure, whatever, but, like, why? What is it all for?
~
Idia: objection, judges don’t object
Jamil: objection, neither can the jury.
Cater: Well that settles it. MC is guilty.
Idia: wh-wh—the jury decides if he’s guilty—what am I doing, I don’t care. ~
MC: you okay buddy? You look real sad in this photo I just took. ~
“why have a ballroom with no balls?”
Floyd: *snicker*
MC: no, no, I’m an adult, so that’s not funny.
~
Kalim: you woke up at 6am dull to go get it!
MC: 6am dull, do you mean sharp?
Kalim: no, that’s really early for you. So you weren’t able to get out of bed until like…. 6:08?
~
Cater: that sucks, what does the judge even do?
Kalim: *double thumbs up* his best!
~
MC: why is the saying “karma’s a bitch”? Why can’t it be… karma is a very fair person.
Cater: uh, why does their complexion matter?
~
Azul: maybe it’s time that we take a look at the bigger picture here.
MC: *sigh* … *points to picture on ramshackle wall* you talking about that picture?
Azul: yes, I still don’t quite understand it.
MC: I just liked it, Azul, I don’t know why you’re so confused by it, this is like the seventh time you’ve asked about it.
Azul: Nevermind, it doesn’t matter. Now that we’ve looked at that, let’s return to the task at hand.
~
Cater: okay, time out for thee, and time out for thee, focus on issues, or focus on me.
~
Jamil: Ooh, said with the confidence of a man who has his hand stuck in the cookie jar. In a cookie factory. And his pants are down. And they’re on fire.
MC: We get it.
~
MC: you’re right you’re right you’re right you’re right you’re right
Azul: well now you’re just pandering to my fondness for being told that I’m right.
MC: you’re right!
~
Kalim: I just think we should all just try to relax.
Idia: …. You do realize who you’re talking to, right?
~
Azul: of course you and I have our differences. We disagree on many things.
Cater: ehhhhhhh, understatement much?
Azul: wow.
~
Kalim: sometimes… it’s just this *holds up hand in an o shape*
Cater: a bagel.
Kalim: what? No. Maybe. No, nothing, it’s nothing.
Cater: aawwww
I'll be sure to collect more next time I binge sanders sides lol

I'm sorry, but what kind of accent does Ivan have? He's the only sim who speaks that way and now that he's more in focus, I can't help but wonder where he comes from! Also, while I'm at it, I've also noticed that you stay loyal to the Sim world ("speaking in Tartosan" "a Tartosan goddess", etc), and while it's obvious that Tartosa was based on Italy and Spain, do you imagine your characters being from real countries and with distinct cultural backgrounds?
hmmm idk that he really has an accent as such, it's more that he speaks more loosely/common than every one else. i don't really have voice claims or any real countries to pin these pixels to cos they're sims u kno, it'd probs get messy if i started tying things to irl and not others.. so nah, other than rough stuff like vaguely japanese for mt. komo or italy for tartosa i don't pin em to real places ig you could use my northern english accent as an example tho, like my mom is pretty well spoken but still northern right? so she pronounces her t's n shit but my accent is way more common and i drop all mine to a ridiculous extent (if i was to write butter or water the way i'd say it it's practically unreadable lol.. like bu'uer? bUHer?? idk lmao) so Ivan probs speaks like me tbh.. Tommy, Rhys and a couple others speak that way too and Oscar does when he's drunk

I wonder if the dnpg havent an agent confirms that they want to properly turn the 'dan and phil' brand back into a Thing, like properly. Which is a lot if they are also focusing on solo stuff, but idk, its all very exciting, ig we'll see how it works out
i'm overwhelmed by thoughts right now. it doesn't make sense even in my head.
like,,, let's see. dnpg returned because wad almost flopped and Dan realised that he needs the audience back. great, better late than never. a complete change of management. aiming for UK and USA agencies, and getting them! IT pitching wad to companies to make/sell wad dvd. amazing stuff. at the same fucking time dnpg's return was in the works. not only dnpg but the whole dnp brand. the only difference is dnp™ doesn't intervene with AP and Dan's solo image/projects. they are investing so much time and money into dnpg. 3 different managers in IT!! that's a lot of help. Dan has at least 1 manager in UTA. and all of them are assigned to different projects related to dnp. soft and neat, mfs.
at the same fucking time, pardon my french, if dnpg was brought back to life to bring the audience back, it should be used to promote their solo stuff. how? i don't know! if the main goal was to separate AP / Dan / dnpg, then throwing wad promo on dnpg would be strange, unless it's done in relation to Phil/ with Phil (mukbang, because in 2018 they said they could do it again. or something similar). i can't even say anything about dan is not okay, i'm so scarred. like, i WANT him to use their platforms wisely, i want him to promote his solo stuff so it reaches the majority of us. i want him to succeed. the separation between brands just confuses me a bit. unless they don't take it seriously, and the lines can be blured when it comes to promo. which is yeah, go for it!
if we have something other than wad and dan is not okay – 🤯. touring. oh boy. ladydoor tour 2.0? Dan's real stand-up comedy attempt in smaller venues? if he is actully aiming for 2025/2026, i'm gonna die.

Jujutsu Kaisen is ending in 5 chapters and Idk I'm super disappointed.
I don't think that'll make it bad now or anything but there's so much it could have been that it will never be because it's ending and that's very weird to like process lmao. I think Gege has told the story they want to tell and as a writer myself I think that's wonderful especially considering the conditions mangaka in weekly serialisations go through.
But like as a fan of this world and these characters and this story I really can't help but think of what could have been and what we've missed out on because either Gege didn't want to do it or because there were certain constraints from editorial or time or whatever. People will say "that's the point" as if it's a catch all deflection from criticism and while I agree that Gege doesn't just do shit for the sake of it I don't think it's weird that so many people expected so many things from this manga and need to go through the process of mourning the fact that there was never any intention for elaboration for shit that we were looking forward too or liked. Enjoying media should not only end at liking every single thing and justifying it. Sometimes loving a story is also about being critical of it, not even from a place of hate or anything, just cause you want the best for it and your opinion on what that could be is different from what's on paper.
I don't think I have anything definitive to say about JJK rn cause I need to do a reread but I will say, I really wish that Gege had written a lot of their female characters differently. Maki's the best of them yeah but like the Toji wank kind of ruined that for me. Yuki and Nobara.... sigh. I understand the "point" like it's about the fact that being a sorcerer will never give you a happy ending and all that stuff to do with the self vs the group and what it means to be part of something and blah blah but it's unfortunate that in this cast of majority male characters I'm supposed to accept that 2 really cool women had to die to "prove a point" as if we didn't get it already when Nanami and Junpei died. They could have been more than a reminder that shit sucks the same way the male characters were and I personally don't think Gege did a good job with that pfff.
Ig we'll see how the story ends and if my ranking of it will drop or rise cause we know how Gege is they might make all this worth it in some way and I'm excited to see what ending they have cooking. I think hjskahd

world building woooo. i got a structure in mind, it'll be chaptered, with each one taking place in a different part of the city. no idea how long i'll be but we'll see ig. :D
-
The Hermetheus? Yeah, I've heard of her. Been there a few times, too. Nothing really prepares you for the size of the place, you know? Like, on a planet, it'd make sense. Sure, that can be a sprawling city all over the place. That makes sense. But to find one on a ship? One that can travel almost anywhere she wants? Yeah, that's weird. Like, you can't walk that place, it's too big. They have these wings that they can fly around with that help them cover the distances in the city. It's open enough for that.
Not that I've tried it, though. I'll fly in a ship, but strap some fragile wings onto me? Nah, I'm good, man. I'll pass. I rode a strange beast around the place that they use when they don't want to fly, or can't fly somewhere. These creatures had four legs, and some kind of sandy-coloured fur, and were taller even than I am. They lumbered slowly and were often stubborn about moving. I didn't much like 'em, but well, itwas that or flying, and I said I'd take the beast.
They're alright, though, those hermits. Small people, really, with a sometimes chaotic city. It's the kind of place where you think there'd be like, millions of people living, but it's really not that many at all. Seems strange to see such a large ship as the home to maybe three dozen people. Makes me wonder if there was some kind of calamity that happened that wiped out everyone else, and these guys are the survivors.
They tell some good stories though. They're good hosts. Perhaps because they don't get many folks wanting to stay with them for a while. I'm pretty sure most just take the time to trade and then head off. Not that I blame them, I've done my fair share of that too. Sometimes it's for the best not to linger. Just get what you need and go before something worse happens to you. But these people are kind. They laugh a lot. They're very generous with their skills and their resources and they really don't need to be.
And, like I said, they love to tell stories. I heard so many stories about other worlds they'd visited in the past. The kind of structures they'd built there. That one world where the moon crashed into the planet, and they were only just able to escape in time. Perhaps that's where the calamity happened. Maybe that's where the rest of the people went. These guys got out. The rest didn't.
I dunno. I speculate a lot about them for a ship I've only been on a few times, let's be real. It is still a little strange to see the ship so empty though. Like, a ship that size should have a population of thousands. But it's like, not even fifty! Where'd they all go?
Maybe I'll ask them next time I see them. They turn up every now and then with supplies to trade for resources they're looking for. Last time, they were after some mineral they needed to make some spare parts for the ship, and they'd stopped at a planet rich in that mineral to seek some trades for it. I dunno if they got all they needed. I was just there to trade loot and jewels for some fuel, which they were happy to do.
I do remember how weird it feels to be in that place, though. The city's so empty most of the time. Like, they let me wander, and didn't really bar me from anywhere other than the temples without an escort, but other than that I was free to go wherever I wanted. And like maybe it's just me, but there were so many houses done up for people to live in. Shops that looked like they were once owned by someone who had since disappeared. Abandoned parts of the city that not even the stray cats went into. And they didn't really look abandoned, as there never seemed to be any decay or damage. It was the sound. The stillness. They just didn't feel alive. Those walls had not heard any voices for a very long time. It creeped me out a little, I'll be honest, so I never lingered long.
And when I asked about those abandoned areas, they just said they were places they'd finished building in, and had moved on to new sections. Sometimes they tore down huge sections of the city and rebuilt them in a different style. Decided they wanted a park somewhere, or maybe the temple needed redoing, or another god was asking for worship. They seemed to think this was entirely normal, but all I felt was bewilderment that they took such active control over their city and how they shaped it, especially when there's so few of them. Very strange, if you ask me. But what do I know? I'm just a treasure hunter. Cities ain't none of my business.
The Hermetheus? Yeah, I've heard of her. Been there a few times, too. Nothing really prepares you for the size of the place, you know? Like, on a planet, it'd make sense. Sure, that can be a sprawling city all over the place. That makes sense. But to find one on a ship? One that can travel almost anywhere she wants? Yeah, that's weird. Like, you can't walk that place, it's too big. They have these wings that they can fly around with that help them cover the distances in the city. It's open enough for that.
Not that I've tried it, though. I'll fly in a ship, but strap some fragile wings onto me? Nah, I'm good, man. I'll pass. I rode a strange beast around the place that they use when they don't want to fly, or can't fly somewhere. These creatures had four legs, and some kind of sandy-coloured fur, and were taller even than I am. They lumbered slowly and were often stubborn about moving. I didn't much like 'em, but well, itwas that or flying, and I said I'd take the beast.
They're alright, though, those hermits. Small people, really, with a sometimes chaotic city. It's the kind of place where you think there'd be like, millions of people living, but it's really not that many at all. Seems strange to see such a large ship as the home to maybe three dozen people. Makes me wonder if there was some kind of calamity that happened that wiped out everyone else, and these guys are the survivors.
They tell some good stories though. They're good hosts. Perhaps because they don't get many folks wanting to stay with them for a while. I'm pretty sure most just take the time to trade and then head off. Not that I blame them, I've done my fair share of that too. Sometimes it's for the best not to linger. Just get what you need and go before something worse happens to you. But these people are kind. They laugh a lot. They're very generous with their skills and their resources and they really don't need to be.
And, like I said, they love to tell stories. I heard so many stories about other worlds they'd visited in the past. The kind of structures they'd built there. That one world where the moon crashed into the planet, and they were only just able to escape in time. Perhaps that's where the calamity happened. Maybe that's where the rest of the people went. These guys got out. The rest didn't.
I dunno. I speculate a lot about them for a ship I've only been on a few times, let's be real. It is still a little strange to see the ship so empty though. Like, a ship that size should have a population of thousands. But it's like, not even fifty! Where'd they all go?
Maybe I'll ask them next time I see them. They turn up every now and then with supplies to trade for resources they're looking for. Last time, they were after some mineral they needed to make some spare parts for the ship, and they'd stopped at a planet rich in that mineral to seek some trades for it. I dunno if they got all they needed. I was just there to trade loot and jewels for some fuel, which they were happy to do.
I do remember how weird it feels to be in that place, though. The city's so empty most of the time. Like, they let me wander, and didn't really bar me from anywhere other than the temples without an escort, but other than that I was free to go wherever I wanted. And like maybe it's just me, but there were so many houses done up for people to live in. Shops that looked like they were once owned by someone who had since disappeared. Abandoned parts of the city that not even the stray cats went into. And they didn't really look abandoned, as there never seemed to be any decay or damage. It was the sound. The stillness. They just didn't feel alive. Those walls had not heard any voices for a very long time. It creeped me out a little, I'll be honest, so I never lingered long.
And when I asked about those abandoned areas, they just said they were places they'd finished building in, and had moved on to new sections. Sometimes they tore down huge sections of the city and rebuilt them in a different style. Decided they wanted a park somewhere, or maybe the temple needed redoing, or another god was asking for worship. They seemed to think this was entirely normal, but all I felt was bewilderment that they took such active control over their city and how they shaped it, especially when there's so few of them.

hi! i'm curious - what are your thoughts on some ppl (maybe mostly in the minority?) have made comparisons of the carlos & iris rescue scene in 4x03 being parallel to that of tk/carlos in the iconic Push, and how they've said it kind of undermines the emotional weight in Push?
personally, i'm trying not to put too much weight on it, bc i think it's probably not as deep as they're making it out to be, and it makes logical sense for carlos to tell her to breathe as she was near hyperventilating at the time (if my memory serves me well, i'm not planning to rewatch it so pls do correct me if im wrong) – but the more cynical part of me can see where they're coming from as well (e.g. with the framing), and it's starting to get to me a little
my heart really does hurt for tk in that moment tho :( it certainly didn't help that carlos was being a jerk during that scene - this will def always be a skip for me. there's angst and then there's being a jerk for no reason bc he's what, mad? i can't imagine what/how tk must be feeling at the time
also, idk. there's not much to work with here, a part of me wondered (if it was intentional) if carlos was that spiteful enough to purposely do all of that to get a reaction out of tk (i doubt this. it's fucked up, but it's whatever, he's already walking a tightrope between being petty and also being an a*hole. i honestly wouldn't be surprised if the writers are trying to play this up for dramatic purposes), or if they'd just wanted to be sprinkle in the additional ✨ angst ✨ to get a reaction out of the audience instead, if it was completely unintentional, or it really isn't as deep as that.
ig we'll never know atp, but i thought i could come to u and see what you think! i'm really liking the discussions we've all had in between the eps haha, i hope that's okay!
This got a bit longer than I intended.
The “Breathe, breathe” scene in Push was a huge moment for them (& us) after their breakup – but I don’t really think the writers intended to have Carlos tell Iris the same thing to cheapen the scene in Push.
I totally get the people who had that gut reaction of “what the fuck, why would they have him say that like that?” and feel like it took away from the Tarlos scene – I do. The first time I watched the ep (I have had it on repeat pretty much anytime I am home alone while I am writing.),
I had a similar thought process – when I watched it again the 2nd time though, it made more sense to me narratively & like you said she was hyperventilating & in a decent amount of distress – telling her to breathe was pretty much the only thing he could say here. Saying something like “calm down” doesn’t always help when you are not in a position to think clearly – simple direction is much easier to follow (I say this as someone who has frequent panic attacks & telling me to calm down is not at all helpful) so, if someone was telling me to breathe – I would be able to follow that direction – telling me to calm down would only make me panic more – because I have to think about HOW to calm down.
I really do think that they are making Carlos’ less than perfect sides more obvious this season, that is why what we saw last year as a little bit of pettiness (3x13) now feels almost cruel at times. I understand why there are fans that just can’t get into this storyline – why they are struggling so much.
I have said since at least last season, the writers did a real disservice to Carlos by making his appear so perfect on the surface for so long. By finding ways to put the blame for any issues between them on TK, or just glossing over his need to keep everything in boxes & his control issues – made it so some fans didn’t need to look deeper at the character – they saw this absolutely gorgeous man, saw the ways he supported TK – thought he was the perfect boyfriend/fiancé, the cop with a good heart.
Now, all of a sudden, they are being confronted with the fact that Carlos has a past, one that some just can’t fathom. They are being forced to acknowledge that Officer Reyes is not perfect and they really don’t know how to handle it.
If we had any in canon hints (other than deleted scenes we won’t ever see) of the actual closeness of Iris & Carlos – some of the people that are struggling with this arc – may have been able to believe that this person was so important to Carlos (NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN TK, BUT STILL IMPORTANT), but – we didn’t. So now, they have to build that now – and Rafa & Lyndsy are doing a fantastic job of showing a real emotional (platonic) relationship.  
The writers had to do something that would SHOW us their closeness – not just tell us, like some of the other parts of the storyline – and this was actually (imo) a beautiful way to do it. I don’t really think it was to be petty or dickish to TK, just to show us the emotional connection the characters share. The fact that Rafa & Lyndsy have pretty great chemistry helps this as well.
Carlos was definitely walking the very fine line between petty & dickish, but I think the writers need him to do that for this part – the 3rd act. In a lot of media – the 3rd act is the hard part – either emotionally or mentally – they needed to set up the angst and tension for when Carlos got shoveled to kick off the 4th act.
Would we lose our shit if Carlos went missing while things were perfect for Carlos & TK? absolutely – we love them. BUT – to have it happen when things aren’t as stable, when they are both too much in their feelings/heads to see clearly – that is where the real pay off comes from.
We know that Carlos & TK love each other deeply, we understand why TK went to talk to Iris, we know that it didn’t trigger anything for her. Carlos – doesn’t right now. He is a man that thinks rationally (because he tosses his problems in a box & throws away the key) – but right now rational thought isn’t something he is capable of.
The man had like 15 seconds of not being noticeably stressed the fuck out on screen before that “dream” venue called him – he has been riding on pure emotion and avoidance ever since.
It is easier to lash out (or treat not so great) the people that you KNOW love you. You know that they will be there when you realize what you did/said. We all do it in little ways all the time, (we have a bad day at work, then go home – and every little thing builds up until you blow up – typically not at the people/thing that originally caused your irritation). In this case – I think that Carlos blames himself for all of it – and he can’t shove it in a box – he has to face it, especially in this 4th act.
Carlos KNOWS that TK loves him. But this man is TERRIFIED of his actions hurting Iris, that he seems as though he is ignoring TK, or at least dismissing him. I go back and forth between thinking that Carlos was more defensive to TK in the bunkroom than trying to explain it – but that is an emotional response from me. When I take my emotions out – I can see the way his anxiety is tearing him apart, he is scared to hurting TK, of TK leaving – not because of something TK did – but because Carlos hurt him emotionally. He is scared of jeopardizing Iris’ health and wellbeing.
He also can’t see that these two people, the ones he loves most (in very different ways), are stronger than he can see – especially in this particular situation.
*We have NEVER seen Carlos be the one to fall apart. He is used to being the one putting the pieces back together, for the most part – keeping a clearer head, & connecting the dots. Right now – he isn’t able to do that – but he also won’t let TK or Iris really help him – which leads to the shoveling.
I know that Tim and Ronen keep hyping up Rafa’s acting in 4x04 – but I am also really looking forward to Ronen’s as well. Both of these men have been doing such an amazing job of making us feel all these annoying feelings.
I think another reason people are struggling to see Carlos being more standoffish to TK in 4x03 is that we have watched TK handle this situation so well. Carlos tells him that he has been legally married to someone during their whole relationship, TK listens to him, listens to his reasons on why. We have watched TK handle it with grace – but are now being shown Carlos not doing the same. And it does hurt. It hurts because we know how much they love each other, how much they truly need and want each other. So, to see real friction between them (probably the most we have seen – especially since they broke up off screen) hurts. Going into those scenes knowing that the shoveling was coming hurt more.
The hurt is intentional from the storytelling perspective– but I am hoping & optimistic about a pretty good pay off. I have a feeling that a lot of this elevated pettiness will be gone like the ‘lasting ramifications of hypothermia for TK’ last season, so I am not worried about that continuing either. Once he is rescued, we will get the super tactile, loving, beautiful Tarlos – one that has become stronger through their ordeals – both separate & together.
When in doubt: Just remember Tarlos is endgame & all roads lead to the wedding.
I love the discussions that this show brings up & my husband loves that I have people other than him to talk to about this show.

MY THOUGHTS ON THE MANDALORIAN - Chapter 18 "The Mines of Mandalore"
Days late, but here it is my impressions about the latest episode. It was so great that reduced me to a screaming mess, especially with that ending. I still cannot believe it!
As I've watched the episode a few times already, this is going to be more my general thoughts on what stood out more for me than reactions to every scene. I should apologize in advance, because I'll get a bit rant-y on some points (about the fandom, not the show).
So, let's begin…
I love that Din did a pit stop in Tatooine and visit Peli (I love her so much). It was obvious that she was his go-to to find the circuit for IG-11. I've seen people complaining that that bit of trying to fix IG-11 in the previous episode is irrelevant now if Din was getting R5 anyway, and honestly, it makes me shake my head. Haven't any of you watched the trailers? We KNEW Din would fly the N1 with R5-D4 docked in the astromech port. It was obvious (to me, at least) that he was going to use him to navigate to Mandalore. Besides, astromech were made exactly for that function. IG droids were not.
I know that there's the thing about Din trusting one (1) droid, which gives all the feels, but that of bringing IG-11 back won't go to waste. I think IG-11 will be fixed anyway to be Nevarro's new marshal, which fits much better with his original function, don't you think? That'd be great because it'll mean we'll see him again and again as long as the show continues.
I wonder how many languages Peli speaks, because so far we've seen her speaking Basic, droid, Jawaese, Rodian, Frog, whatever it was Dr. Mandible spoke, and I assume she speaks Huttese too. She's a human universal translator!
And Grogu is going to say his first word this season and going to be dad, buir, or an equivalent. It'd be funny if he goes from babbling incoherently to perfect speech in a night. Extremely unnerving, but funny as hell.
Another thing I've seen in other reviews is that some people didn't expect Din going to Mandalore so soon. I was not among those. I think it's perfect. And for what we saw in the trailers, that should've been obvious too. People might think the footage in the trailers covers the whole season. I got news for you, my darlings: it does not. It covers only the first half of the season (just like it did in season 2). So, considering that, Din wasn't going the entire season going from here to there before getting to Mandalore. Remember that this season also is somewhat setting things up for Ahsoka and is upping the stakes. It's no longer only Din and Grogu anymore.
My heart melted completely when Din said "Our people" talking to Grogu about Mandalore. The whole scene is amazing. Not just because of Din including Grogu as a mandalorian, but also because we got more tidbits of his childhood. He confirmed what I suspected; that he's never lived in Mandalore, just in Concordia. And, we got a geography lesson, making canon that Mandalore and Kalevala are in the same system.
Grogu was a ball of anxiety the whole episode, first when Din sent R5 to get the readings, then when Din got kidnapped (me, too), and because of the bird-lizard thing that went after him. Poor baby!
But I can't help laughing at how fast Grogu convinces Din of anything. Repeated knocking or a whine is enough for Din to give in.
An episode where Din doesn't get his ass kicked is not a Mandalorian episode, and like in the premiere he wasn't, he got a double dose in the second 😆 And I like that he still struggles with the darksaber. We need Sabine to train him!
Live-action Mandalore, I love it. It's both beautiful and haunting, the way the crystallized rock resembles explosions. I love the design of the wreckage city, that you almost can see how it was before, especially if you've seen TCW and Rebels (mostly TCW, bc Rebels was set outside Sundari, and in Krownest).
What the hell was that thing that tried to bleed out? take bone marrow? from Din?! I don't know what it was, but first, it sounded a lot like Grievous; and I guess it needed Din's fluids to function/survive. All I know is that it was creepy as hell and well sure it didn't help Din and his trauma with droids.
Grogu being able to control his own pram is the best!. I thought at first that he was moving it with the Force (maybe for going forward) but then I realized there are controls for him in the front.
I must say that even when I'm not a fan of Bo-Katan, this episode made her bloom as an even more complex character. I love that for her. It's obvious that she has plenty of regrets for all she did in the past, but my beef with her is that, sure, she sees now all the mistakes that were made by all Mandalorians, but she hasn't spoken out loud of her part in it. She always speaks in general terms of Mandalorians but never say I did this, I was one of those, except to say I was the ruler and the Empire came and defeat me. She distances herself from her worst mistakes. Not that it isn't a normal human reaction, but it'd be nice having her owning her mistakes.
Putting my personal feelings about her aside, the scene of Bo battling that thing was awesome!!! So badass!!! The ease with which she wields the Darksaber is satisfying to watch. My favorite part is when she slides underneath the droid and cut it open. So cool!
It didn't occur to me until I heard it in a YT video, that when Bo says she didn't embarrass her dad when she took the creed might not mean that she usually displeased her dad and that specific day she didn't, which is how most people took it as. Maybe what she meant was that she DID take the creed while Satine didn't (because of her pacifist ideals), and therefore, embarrassing their father. That it's an interesting theory. I like it. It'd add more flavor to family drama (as if it didn't have enough of it 😆)
Deep down, I knew Din wasn't going to take his helmet off to bathe in the Living Waters, but he would take the rest of his armor, so he didn't sink, exactly like he did. That scene is both beautiful (as he recites the vow) and funny (the moment he sinks). Then fears hits, and I first wondered how he sunk so fast! The only explanation I can find is that the mythosaur pulled him under.
And OH MY GOD!!! The reveal of the Mythosaur was AWESOME!!! As soon as I saw the tusks, I lost it!!! This is when I became a screaming mess. I couldn't believe one of my wildest theories was true!! Since last year, when the Armorer said that the mythosaur would rise up to herald a new Mandalore, I had the feeling that Mythosaur were down in the mines, or at least one. I can't believe I was right!

From Now On, Showtime! Live Blogging
This is actually one of the first non-queer kdramas I added back on MDL after I started getting into BL/GLs because I saw a clip on twitter (from ep 4? idk) where he's doing a magic trick with floating cards with the help of ghosts.
Finally managed to download something onto my iPad to watch on my long-ass commute.
Ep 1 (June 14)
ah he’s a shaman fr
Was that in the past or it happened now?
Ah magician Cha Cha Woong
he’s got ghosts helping him right?
This cop reminds me of the MC of Midnight
Ah ofc the arrow
How’d he even dooo that oh wait was a ghost riding the bike
First meeting
Switched helmet? Will the camera catch Cha Woong being weird w the ghosts
Pls the hearts
Lol the dash cam catching all this convo, he even mentioned ghosts
Ah so grandpa dying was indeed in the present
Oh corrupt Chief Seo is Captain Heesoo’s father
Nooo how did neighbour dad-to-be die
He was murdered?!
Cha Woong is sooooo heartless
I wonder what the dashcam actually recoded though bc i wanna know the crime scene
pls not the ghosties protecting him against her arresting Cha Woong
I was wondering if he'd reveal the ghosts or not - he could still spin it as a silly joke like "ahaha a ghost ofc" but we'll see
Ep 2 (June 14)
lol ghost Mr. Ma (?) reminiscing on his thug days when he'd be taken to the police station
wait are they supposed to be a romance? why did they linger like that on her grabbing on to him? I thought maybe she and the sunbae would become something
who is that guy? some boss at the car place - he easily seems like the one who ran the dude over, though my initial guess was actually the Chief Seo guy - the detective mans dad
...it's not 1004 but there's a car with 1604 near the bakery?
lol the SUV of the company indeed the boss. so if they've found it so quick
ah is this a 2-ep format like Tomorrow? deal with a new ghost every week?
why didn't the ghosts come to get the helmet?
ah, confession under duress - will this actually work? ig it might by drama logic
oh loll this is the card floating trick that I saw on twitter
ah, so they managed to get and restore the helmet, that feels necessary
so is the Chief Seo protecting Seul Hae by not letting her be a detective (since the son mentioned that his father still feels bad about what happened to her dad) or is he covering his tracks by ensuring she can't catch him doing something bad?
so this is softening Cha Cha Woong, I see
ah man love triangle already? Cha Woong getting jealous seeing her and the detective after telling her to never come near him again? be serious
pls T.T this worshipping spirit scene
too dark, idk what's happening but Chief Seo and Seul Hae's dad fighting some spirit? oh he was killed by the full moon murderer? did they ever catch him?
oh i see, he fell off the cliff
oh? that's the full moon murderer? in the fishing village? idk why they're zooming in on his ear - is there a bullet hole or smth? te split on his ear?
or where'd that flashlight come from and who picked it up under the water?
wtf is that voice - slight horror vibes here?
damn bruh, that was Cha Woong's dream/nightmare that the Worshipping Spirit gave him?
ah, Cha Woong fainting and Seul Hae having to hold him up, okay
Ep 3 (June 15)
watched the first half while going to get my covid booster + waiting afterwards
so he doesn't have to be a shaman, just needs to do good things to get thanks from Seul Hae
oh, that's why everyone could see the worshiping spirit, they're all ghosts
plsssss ofc the cops barge in when they're here
The first half of the episode was so boring, my goodness but at least it picked up once we got to the gambler son story
Ep 4 (June 15)
damn some past life stuff?
second lead Heesoo is annoying wtf is "just to clean? this late? just you two?"
damn, what's happening - this creepy vibe
oh second couple? eh
ohh i was like why is he being so nice to this cafe owner but it's actually the ghost's pay i guess?
a dark soul into this Soondong dude's body oof the spirit is killing people on the full moon again but how'd it go into that lamp thing all this time
ah, so Cha Woong's grandpa and the whispering spirit had sealed the full moon spirit and drowned it
oh, Cha Woong and Seul Hae's past life that we saw a glimpse of is from the worshipping spirit's time?
Do we always need a Joseon era past lives connection in these fantasy type kdramas lol I watched Tomorrow recently and that had that too
Ep 5 (June 16)
Thoughts after watching the whole thing.
the full moon murderer at it again and this time he even saw Seul Hae
ah Cha Woong saw Seul Hae’s dad that last day + saw her at the funeral while she hates his grandpa shaman - Aris drug sting ah
the fuckass love triangle stuff is irritating like why are we doing this posturing thing. also the male bestie who is so possessive of his female bestie is a boooo trope
how is he suddenly such a good fighter, the ghosts are helping or what
Ep 6 (June 16)
Thoughts after watching the whole thing.
ah this chief is soooo agh full of corruption
Plsssss side girl’s reading of herself being dangerous and greedy and telling him to be careful
the cha woong fiancé wannabe is such a bitchhhh but she's funny i can’t decide if i like her or not
ahh the argument about grandpa vs father at the police station is great
ohhh i want the chief dead “why don’t you quit the force and find a nice man to marry” um die you fucking crook cheat corrupt ladder climber
at least he gather up 1 tiny bit of courage to go after the full moon murderer even if he returned a decade later
chief is soooooo booooooooooo ew
Ep 7 (June 16/17)
oh, she died because of him? he accidentally killed her?
worshiping spirit's goal is to connect the two of them? what? what was the mistake he made?
so he was a robber thief man and then the evil spirit got him?
ah the sunbae asks her to weekend bowling and now Cha Woong has to also get a move on. he's so silly tho repeating every last word gbye
I wish the evil spirit man wasn't the only one with a limp or some sort of disability in the show
don't kill herrrrrrrrrrrr D:
plssss her arguing with the grim reaper
but now she can tell them the guy who came to beat her up, right? ask herrr
pls can't she just say what the dude was wearing and stuff bc then at least they can check the CCTV again etc
wait wtf, her husband killed her?
The fact that all the pure and 7 whatever have been all women is boring and predictable boo
Ep 8 (June 17)
the evil spirit could tell the husband was "like him?"
oh at least we get one dude with the pure 7 skies thing or whatever
plsss not the bed-sharing to see the ghosts in the video
i wish we got to see a bit more of the aftermath of catching the husband and how the sunbae and his father reacted to it all
oh the people who the evil spirit had buried were the parents of the house?
evil spirit is also from 2000 years ago goddamn but i think we knew that, right? since the ghost was release from the Cha family
Ep 9 & 10 (June 17)
ngl i really don't care about their past lives
a ring magic trick??? be srs
pls why do seul hae and cha woong keep getting into these unintentional couple face-offs
what is this couple's match where only the guys play
ah
plsss the grandma telling him that "aigoo, you have bad taste in women" because he likes yeji
i need the chief to die sooooo terribly like just painfully take that coward out you piece of shit
I can't remember when I went onto the next ep without doing the new ep thing but I guess it's around here.
they really left the evil fucking spirit at a place just like that so that some kids can easily release it fr?
plsssss Yeji has such a rancid personality, she's so funny
ah, is the grandma gonna die?
damn, she's really leading him into a secluded place by themselves? bruv. but ig him somehow recognizing her will save her
ah as expected he too recognizes her from 2000 years ago
couldn't you just have stuck the paper on him, this time of meeting and then nothing coming out of it is annoying
at least Hee Soo sunbae knows the truth about his father and the tragedy 10 years ago now
hm would Hee Soo die trying to get full man murderer?
anyway since early on, the chief and his son's relationship where the father is corrupt and the son wants to seek justice has reminded me of Beyond Evil (it was done better in BE) and I miss that show.
I've also been like ah, this past lives thing reminds me of Tomorrow and I don't care about it whatsoever. let's stay in the present pls
Ep 11 (June 17)
ah, this old-time past-life stuff
oh, he got the evil spirit into the bottle?
yang taechoon is an ordinary man now right, no evil spirit within him - just regular evilness that made the spirit choose him? - though i wonder if he'll manage to free the spirit again or what
oh Hee Soo shot him
oh she can see the ghosts now
ewwwww the way the detectives talk about Seul Hae "she always talks about her goal to be a detective but her goal's to actually be with you" "be careful or she'll put those shackles on you" agh
plsss so funny to see Yeji's rotten personality around the cop dude's mother like oh miss you're gonna regret it
agh we're just going through the past life and it could be okay what with the treats Poong Baek was facing etc but fr is Seul Hae's old life just spent cooing over Poong Baek or what. did i intend to watch a show where our main female lead is just pureness and boy crazy?
Joseon era powerful princess or whoever in high station being kind to the poor people is so eye-roll worthy ngl
ah, that's why the ring is significant
she's sooo cute and pretty and funny pls the way she got a proposal out of him
...aren't the evil spirit man and Cheon Hwa related... like if he's the illegitimate son and his brother is the king and she's the princess, then she's his niece?
bruh 40 minutes of the joseon era past and we still don't know the full story? be serious
Ep 12 (June 17)
man we're still on the past-life train
oh i see, never mind so mans gave his own brother the king of his own kingdom the poisoned concoction, not Seora's king. so they are indeed not related, i was so confused
ah, so he really was a traitor? i thought he's been framed but maybe not?
ah indeed he was framed
why do i always have to watch women be abused or treated as property in these shows like we can have fantasy of seeing ghosts and magic but not enough fantasy to not have women face sexism and abuse?
ah they're finally dying over 30 minutes in, so we'll get to go back to present time
oh damn Cha Woong already told Seul Hae about their past life, interesting I didn't think it'd be such a footnote in their interactions
plsss Cha Woong becoming soooo weirdly sweet now, my man is sooo in love with her (including her past life self lol) and keeps remembering it pls like it's a little weird actually <- ah she thinks so too that he keeps reenacting past life stuff
pls him saying he'll wait for her to kiss him
....would Hae Soo end up being evil? That'd be cowardly of the show to do
ohhh the reason the worshipping spirit is making up for his bad karma with the Cha bloodline is because he betrayed Poong Baek?
bro i needed this flashback to be 2 minutes max but we're getting everything
ahh, Hae Soo pretending (I'm assuming?) that he's just like his dad reminds me so much of Beyond Evil - but also ummm why is that voice sounding? Is Hae Soo possessed by the evil spirit or something
oh fuck they really made Hae Soo be an evil spirit victim. this would've been better if Seul Hae still liked him or was dating him but now it just feels cowardly as a way to remove him as an option
Seul Hae is for real the only female cop and detective
It does make sense that the evil spirit isn't fully gone because it'd be too easy otherwise
Ep 13 (June 17)
plsss even the grandma reading that the son's gf (Yeji) is not a good person
eww hae soo
it's dark, i can't see anything
ah they're together now i guess
i'm glad dongcheol found his gf tho
Ep 14 (June 18)
lmao all the ghosties against Cha Woong and Seul Hae relationship
oooaaaa so Yongryul's not rich and Yeji's gonna end up actually liking him
plssssss Cha Woong unable to help Seul Hae and it being the awkwardest thing on this double date good bye I'm dying
i think Seul Hae could've told Yeji about why he's not helping her lol this is so awkward I'm gonna crawl into a hole
ahh this fire where Areum saves a kid T.T
Ep 15 (June 18)
I have an assignment + homework thing to do ahhh but i just wanna watch some more of this
i need to kill every man in the detective office btw the way they blame and yell at Seul Hae for every fucking thing
ahh Yeji and Yongryul's mom's first proper meeting
why don't we get anywhere with the Hee Soo thing? it's
damn all the ghosties dealt with unfinished business and went to nirvana T.T
oh at least we still get to have Hee Soo in the mirror, so we might still have him return to being an okay person by the end
pls Yeji also has the 7 stars channel thing? how's that possible when she's so rancid, I thought it was supposed to be a pure thing
why'd he even announce himself before just capturing the spirit or whatever
Ep 16 (June 18)
1 last episode ah I should at least start working on my assignment but alas, I'm here...
um???? is this stupid ass breakup because he's gonna be possessed?????? she's in danger and you're leaving her like this? you piece of shit you fuck just tell her the truth
ah Heesoo's father now
bruv ofc Chawoong would hold the knife and ofc the dumbass detectives would get here at this time
the old ghosties T.T plssss
it was sooo small case almost non-existent threat for the past few episodes that it's like what? when it comes to the high stakes of this ep
hmmm would they have truly killed him?
agh fuckass past life again, go backkk idc
wait the worshipping spirit is coming back again or something?
kids?! wtf tiny ass ghosties
ohh their kid Maru is reincarnated worshipping spirit mans lol
Overall:
Funny and comedic with likable characters (even rancid characters like Yeji were charming to me). Nothing too deep, though it had some touching moments. Too much dramatic romance in the second half, I don't care about their royal/shaman past life tragedy and I think that made it kinda meh for me in the latter half.
Rating: 6.5/10

lmao i'll bet y'all bet on who cries first between me and dk (i have no idea😭) i have a feeling we'll both cry when i walk down the aisle😭 dw though!! i'll figure something out to make charles cry big time, if it doesn't work i'll just pay someone to beat him up ig🤧
hannie was up on everyone's ass😭 i think he even asked mark and the mfer said he had no idea😭 i don't know if he knew or not, but i couldn't lie so hannie knew that i knew😭 i'll see if i can find the screenshots !!! lmao i have no idea how the guy afforded it, cause i was milking his wallet😭😭 bet cheol paid for most of it tbh😭

IT MADE SENSE WDYM😭 lmao i got way better at coordinating my costumes after that one one time😭 i never want to be dressed in the same as charles EVER AGAIN😭 also no one for that matter😭 i loved the excel spreadsheet we made so people could write what they were going as so we didn't double up, but it also ruined some of the suspense tbh😭 lmao poor chan was just along for the ride😭
oh my god yes!! that's such a great idea!! i love a new fancy restaurant omg🫶 i'd love to have you all by myself !! omg i remember, your basement was the only one big enough to fit both of our teams and i still remember that one time mark came by by mistake😭 must be a core memory for him
lmao y'all should've written better applications? or applied to more serious unis💀💀 or paid more attention in hs💀 like the fact that y'all were using chatgpt says enough😭
NOOO? do you think he still has it ???😭😭😭 like why the f have i never heard about it, is it his guilty pleasure or whatever?
exactly that😭 they were good before, but like stop covering the same old songs😭 i loved the makeover you gave the band tbh💀 omg nooo😭😭 yuta would've been so good in that band, he would've fit perfectly!!
eunwoo almost destroyed our friendship the time he went dressed as batman. i am sorry, i have to come clean😭 i literally forced jeno to ask him about it (i would've asked dk, but i didn't want him to think i liked eunwoo, even though i did... you know?💀) and when i found out he didn't know you were going to be catwoman it was all good😌
A SNOWSTORM IS LITERALLY MY OWN HOME FIELD COME AT ME BROO, LETS GO RIGHT NOW ‼️‼️‼️ (dk is also begging me cause he knows i'll force him outside in that weather)

jeno doesn't listen to you, i'm sorry😔 (junnie and jwi did not send pics though, starting to doubt their loyalty wtf). not y'all getting everyone else involved as well😭 doyoung deserved better.. at least it looked good when i arrived, but🤨
charles would just steal the braincells, you're so right😔
i loved meeting your friends from uni!! they're all great! i loved how seulgi showed up as well, i didn't know you kept in touch with her still
lmao that's so typical of you two😭 loves your girlfriends charles though🫶 lmao yes, i'd just look like hachi from nana😭 no one would believe i'm ever a boy just because of my height😭
JENO AND MARK? 😭😭😭 man😭😭 all of my homies... like dafuq you mean both dk and jeno chose to backstab me😭 i'm literally leaving rn, never speaking to y'all again🙄🙄

𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐀𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 || Eddie Munson
pairing: Eddie Munson x gn!reader
sypnosis: Y/n is doing Eddie's eyeliner before his Hellfire Meeting. He couldn't help but stare.
warning(s): it gets a tiny bit steamy ig??
new writing blog: @mukbee
shoutout to @1tsedi for proofreading!!
***
Eddie Munson did not expect to have his best friend sitting in his lap a half-hour before he had to leave. He had another Hellfire Club meeting that night and he was stoked, but the feeling of Y/n’s hand holding his head in place while the other carefully lined his eye in eyeliner was taking up all his attention at the moment.
Their eyes were focused on his face and he was focused on theirs, taking in every little detail about it he could. He lined the curves of their face with his eyes, tracing every crevice and fold. The way their eyelashes hit their face when they blinked and how the lights of his trailer made their eyes glisten. He couldn’t get enough.
“You’re starting,” Y/n calmly pointed out as they pulled away the eyeliner pencil, looking over their work.
Eddie smirked slightly, “I mean, you are sitting in my lap doing my eyeliner. Isn’t much else to look at.”
Y/n gave him a half-smile as they delicately placed their hand on his face once again, turning it to the side so they could get better access. At this point, Y/n's fingers felt hot against his skin. Eddie knew he shouldn't feel the way he should. He shouldn't be attracted to his best friend who is sitting in his lap and holding his face mere inches away from theirs.
The thought came with so many risks; he didn't want to destroy their 11 years of friendship over a stupidly small crush. At least, he wanted it to be small.
He wasn't so sure anymore with how many times his lips lowered to theirs, taking in the way they slightly chewed on them while focusing.
He wondered how they would feel against his lips, the two merging perfectly like pieces of a puzzle. He had been so lost in thought he hadn't even noticed they had stopped.
"Eddie you're staring again," They whispered to him. It hadn't taken long for them to notice where he had been staring and the thought made their face feel hot, their breath hitching in their throat when he responded.
"Can't help myself," His voice was low as his eyes trailed up to meet theirs, taking notice of the slight flutter of their lashes. "I could look at you forever."
Y/n chuckled breathlessly at his comment.
Their hands moved from their spot on his neck to his shoulders. They felt their body heat up when his hands that were previously sitting on the couch moved to their hips.
Subconsciously the two moved closer, and now they could feel each other's heated breaths. Their lips were so close Eddie swore he could feel them just gently brushing against his, and his breathing picked up the pace. "Y/n please," He whined, a single hand of his moving to the side of their face. "Kiss me."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Y/n asked as they softly trailed their hands up to the sides of Eddie's face, their cold metal rings making him shiver.
Eddie shook his head with a chuckle, "We'll never know unless we try."
Y/n kissed him then, finally closing the extremely tiny gap between them. It was a gentle kiss. There was no roughness, just passion.

Y/N L/N AND THE HALFBLOODS
Percy Jackson X Reader
-Y/N L/N met Percy Jackson and everything is now ruined.
Chapter 22: Then It Ended
Tumblr media
As soon as we came, Annabeth ang Grover tackled me. We were the first heroes to return alive to Half-Blood Hill since Luke, so of course everybody treated us as if we'd won some reality-TV contest. According to camp tradition, we wore laurel wreaths to a big feast prepared in our honor, then led a procession down to the bonfire, where we got to burn the burial shrouds our cabins had made for us in our absence.
Annabeth's shroud was so beautiful—gray silk with embroidered owls— Percy told her it seemed a shame not to bury her in it. She punched him and told him to shut up. Percy being the son of Poseidon, he didn't have any cabin mates, so the Ares cabin had volunteered to make his shroud. They'd taken an old bedsheet and painted smiley faces with X'ed-out eyes around the border, and the word LOSER painted really big in the middle.
As I was still unclaimed, Hermes cabin had made me one. (Just... IDK go crazy with your shroud IG) It was fun to burn. As Apollo's cabin led the sing-along and passed out s'mores, Percy and I was surrounded by my Hermes cabinmates, Annabeth's friends from Athena, and Grover's satyr buddies, who were admiring the brand-new searcher's license he'd received from the Council of Cloven Elders. The council had called Grover's performance on the quest "Brave to the point of indigestion. Horns-and-whiskers above anything we have seen in the past." The only ones not in a party mood were Clarisse and her cabinmates, whose poisonous looks told me they'd never forgive us for disgracing their dad. That was okay with me. Even Dionysus's welcome-home speech wasn't enough to dampen my spirits. "Yes, yes, so the little brats didn't get themselves killed and now they'll have an even bigger head. Well, huzzah for that. In other announcements, there will be no canoe races this Saturday...." Going back to the cabin I finally had time to talk to Luke. Who just expressed his relief of me being fine, and how he was scared when Annabeth told everyone about me. No wonder everyone was so shocked seeing me come back with Percy. On the Fourth of July, the whole camp gathered at the beach for a fireworks display by cabin nine. Being Hephaestus's kids, they weren't going to settle for a few lame red-white-and-blue explosions. They'd anchored a barge offshore and loaded it with rockets the size of Patriot missiles. According to Annabeth, who'd seen the show before, the blasts would be sequenced so tightly they'd look like frames of animation across the sky. The finale was supposed to be a couple of hundred-foot-tall Spartan warriors who would crackle to life above the ocean, fight a battle, then explode into a million colors. As Annabeth, Percy and I were spreading a picnic blanket, Grover showed up to tell us good-bye. He was dressed in his usual jeans and T-shirt and sneakers, but in the last few weeks he'd started to look older, almost high-school age. His goatee had gotten thicker. He'd put on weight. His horns had grown at least an inch, so he now had to wear his rasta cap all the time to pass as human. "I'm off," he said. "I just came to say ... well, you know." I tried to feel happy for him. After all, it wasn't every day a satyr got permission to go look for the great god Pan. But it was hard saying good-bye. I'd only known Grover a year, yet he was my oldest friend. Annabeth and I gave him a hug. She told him to keep his fake feet on. I asked him where he was going to search first. "Kind of a secret," he said, looking embarrassed. "I wish you could come with me, guys, but humans and Pan ..." "We understand," Annabeth said. "You got enough tin cans for the trip?" "Yeah." "And you remembered your reed pipes?" "Jeez, Annabeth," he grumbled. "You're like an old mama goat." But he didn't really sound annoyed. He gripped his walking stick and slung a backpack over his shoulder. He looked like any hitchhiker you might see on an American highway. "Well," he said, "wish me luck." He gave Annabeth and I another hug. He clapped Percy on the shoulder, then headed back through the dunes. Fireworks exploded to life overhead: Hercules killing the Nemean lion, Artemis chasing the boar, George Washington (who, by the way, was a son of Athena) crossing the Delaware. "Hey, Grover," Percy called. He turned at the edge of the woods. "Wherever you're going—I hope they make good enchiladas." Grover grinned, and then he was gone, the trees closing around him. "We'll see him again," Annabeth said. July passed. I spent my daysplanning out strategies with Luke for capture-the-flag and making alliances with the other cabins to keep the banner out of Ares's hands. I got to the top of the climbing wall for the first time without getting scorched by lava. From time to time, Percy and I would walk past the Big House, he'd glance up at the attic windows, and think about the Oracle.
I tried to convince him that its prophecy had come to completion. "You shall go west, and face the god who has turned." "Been there, done that—even though the traitor god had turned out to be Ares rather than Hades." "You shall find what was stolen, and see it safe returned." "Check. One master bolt delivered. One helm of darkness back on Hades." "You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend." Percy recited. "Ares had pretended to be our friend, then betrayed us. That must be what the Oracle meant.... Or maybe Nereid?"
"And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end." He sighed. "I had failed to save my mom and lost you..."
"So why are you still uneasy?" The last night of the summer session came all too quickly. The campers had one last meal together. We burned part of our dinner for the gods. At the bonfire, the senior counselors awarded the end-of-summer beads. Percy and I got our own leather necklace, and when I saw the bead for my first summer. The design was pitch black, with a sea-green trident shimmering in the center.
"This is so beautiful..." I smiled to Percy. "The choice was unanimous," Luke announced. "This bead commemorates the first Son of the Sea God at this camp, and the quest he undertook into the darkest part of the Underworld to stop a war!" The entire camp got to their feet and cheered. Even Ares's cabin felt obliged to stand. Athena's cabin steered Annabeth to the front so she could share in the applause. I'm not sure I'd ever felt as happy or sad as I did at that moment. I'd finally found a family, people who cared about me and thought I'd done something right. And in the morning, most of them would be leaving for the year. * * * The next morning, Luke called me. He gave me a paper, telling me to fill it out, and asked me to meet him as soon as I could. I knew Dionysus must've filled it out, because he stubbornly insisted on getting my name wrong: Dear (WRONG NAME) , If you intend to stay at Camp Half-Blood year-round, you must inform the Big House by noon today. If you do not announce your intentions, we will assume you have vacated your cabin or died a horrible death. Cleaning harpies will begin work at sundown. They will be authorized to eat any unregistered campers. All personal articles left behind will be incinerated in the lava pit. Have a nice day! Mr. D (Dionysus) Camp Director, Olympian Council #12 That's another thing about ADHD. Deadlines just aren't real to me until I'm staring one in the face. Summer was over, and I still don't know what to do. I had no where to go to. The only option I had was Percy's or maybe Hades was not joking about inviting me back to the Underworld. Sighing I decided to just meet Luke before filling it for second opinions. The campgrounds were mostly deserted, shimmering in the August heat. All the campers were in their cabins packing up, or running around with brooms and mops, getting ready for final inspection. Argus was helping some of the Aphrodite kids haul their Gucci suitcases and makeup kits over the hill, where the camp's shuttle bus would be waiting to take them to the airport. I was walking around looking for Luke. I jumped when I felt someone tap me from behind. I instinctively unsheathed my knife and turned only to see Luke with his hands raised.
"Whoa! Calm down just me." He laughed.
"Kinda weird seeing someone laugh at a knife pointed at them." I smirked sheathing my knife.
"I only laugh since its you." He smiled and ruffled my hair. "Are you done with everything?"
"Not really. I don't know whether to leave or not yet. That's why I came. Help me?" I asked him.
He turned to me and to the forest. "How about you hear me out about something... important and private... then decide?" He gestured towards the forest.
"Not planning on killing me are you?" I squinted at him.
He gasped. "Not you. Never. I would never hurt you."
I let him lead me to a shrouded area of the forest.
"How serious is this thing that you can't let anyone see? I am blindly trusting you here Luke." I laughed nervously. But when he didn't reply I felt something was off. "Luke, okay this isn't cool. How deep into the forest do we have to go?"
"Y/N remember when you said... You want to be the person I trust...? How you promised to help me?"
"Luke?" He took my hand and pulled me sharply. I winced at how hard he pulled me. "That hurts! Let me go!"
He snapped back and let go of my wrist. "I-I'm sorry... Y/N..."
As much as I knew I had to leave, I couldn't I was worried about him. I reluctantly placed a hand on his shoulder. "What's happening?"
"I did it..." I said and sat on the ground. "I swear I didn't mean to get you hurt. But, I confess to everything. I  stole bolt and helm, I summoned the hound, I gave Percy the cursed shoes... And just now, I tried to kill Percy Jackson." He looked at me with empty eyes.
I shot up and looked at him in emotions I couldn't put in words. "W-Wh---" I wanted to leave and check on Percy. But once again, seeing him right now... I need to stay with him. "Why are you telling me this...?"
"Join me... please?" his voice was weak. He sounded vulnerable. "Let's serve my Lord together..."
"L-Luke... no. I-I can't do that!" I took his shoulder, "Y-You should stay with me instead. How about that, huh? L-Let's explain to Chiron and the others... come on please. I could help you!"
Nothing was working.
"Come with me..." He muttered.
"Luke, I won't join you. You have to change your mind. You can't do this."
"I can't change my mind."
"I can help you with that? How about you go with me huh? I could spend all my time doing this and that. Please, just change your mind."
He didn't reply for a while until he whispered, "Promise me."
"Promise you what?"
"You'll stay with me."
"What? Luke I wo--"
"You won't join... Just...don't stay here for the year... and stay with me."
"I-If I stay with you... what would that mean?"
"Yo-You... might change my mind."
"I'll go." I replied with no hesitation. "I'll leave camp for the year. And I'll find my parent to prove to you that Gods and Goddess aren't all bad. We'll find my parent together."
"I do my lord's bidding--"
"You can still do it. If you want to. But whatever happens... stays only between us. I'll stay with you until I change your mind. And I'll bring you back to camp."
"I would never do anything to ruin your trust in me." He knelt down. It was kinda awkward but hey... "I need you."
Worry not hero. We shall stay.
"Please..."
We'll meet again. Wait for us, we shall join you soon. Now leave.
I had no idea what happened since when I came to Luke was gone and there was no sign of him anywhere. How were we going to st---
We will meet him once we leave. Now go as our hero needs us.
I suddenly remembered Percy's state that Luke had told me about. So I ran. I ran to the Big House
***
Percy finally opened his eyes. He was propped up in bed in the sickroom of the Big House, his right hand bandaged like a club. Argus stood guard in the corner. Annabeth and I sat next to Percy, I was holding his nectar glass and she was dabbing a washcloth on his forehead.
"Here we are again," Percy said. "You idiot," Annabeth said, "You were green and turning gray when we found you. If it weren't for Chiron's healing..." "Now, now," Chiron's voice said. "Percy's constitution deserves some of the credit." He was sitting near the foot of the bed in human form. His lower half was magically compacted into the wheelchair, his upper half dressed in a coat and tie. He smiled, but his face looked weary and pale, the way it did when he'd been up all night grading Latin papers. "How are you feeling?" he asked. "Like my insides have been frozen, then microwaved." "Apt, considering that was pit scorpion venom. Now you must tell me, if you can, exactly what happened." Between sips of nectar, he told them the story.
I bit my lip trying to keep what happened between Luke and I private. It was a risky move that would not be approved by anyone after all. The room was quiet for a long time. "I can't believe that Luke..." Annabeth's voice faltered. Her expression turned angry and sad. "Yes. Yes, I can believe it. May the gods curse him.... He was never the same after his quest."
Percy was looking at me as if checking what was my reaction to his story. "This must be reported to Olympus," Chiron murmured. "I will go at once." "Luke is out there right now," Percy said. "I have to go after him." Chiron shook his head. "No, Percy. The gods—" "Won't even talk about Kronos," Percy snapped. "Zeus declared the matter closed!" "Percy, I know this is hard. But you must not rush out for vengeance. You aren't ready." "Chiron... your prophecy from the Oracle... it was about Kronos, wasn't it? Was I in it? Y/N? And Annabeth?" Chiron glanced nervously at the ceiling. "Percy, it isn't my place—" "You've been ordered not to talk to me about it, haven't you?" His eyes were sympathetic, but sad. "You will be a great hero, child. I will do my best to prepare you. But if I'm right about the path ahead of you..." Thunder boomed overhead, rattling the windows. "All right!" Chiron shouted. "Fine!" He sighed in frustration. "The gods have their reasons, Percy. Knowing too much of your future is never a good thing." "We can't just sit back and do nothing," He said. "We will not sit back," Chiron promised. "But you must be careful. Kronos wants you to come unraveled. He wants your life disrupted, your thoughts clouded with fear and anger. Do not give him what he wants. Train patiently. Your time will come." "Assuming I live that long." Chiron put his hand on Percy's ankle. "You'll have to trust me, Percy. You will live. But first you must decide your path for the coming year. I cannot tell you the right choice...." I got the feeling that he had a very definite opinion, and it was taking all his willpower not to advise me. "But you must decide whether to stay at Camp Half-Blood year-round, or return to the mortal world for seventh grade and be a summer camper. Think on that. When I get back from Olympus, you must tell me your decision." "I'll be back as soon as I can," Chiron promised. "Argus will watch over you." He glanced at Annabeth. "Oh, and, my dear... whenever you're ready, they're here." "Who's here?" Percy asked. Nobody answered. Chiron rolled himself out of the room. I heard the wheels of his chair clunk carefully down the front steps, two at a time. Annabeth studied the floor. "What's wrong?" Percy asked her. "Nothing. I ... just took your advice about something. You ... um ... need anything?" "Yeah. Help me up. I want to go outside." "Percy, that isn't a good idea." Percy slid his legs out of bed. Annabeth and I caught him before he could crumple to the floor.
I said, "I told you ..." "I'm fine," He insisted.
He managed a step forward. Then another, still leaning heavily on me. Argus followed us outside, but he kept his distance. By the time we reached the porch, his face was beaded with sweat. But we had managed to make it all the way to the railing. It was dusk. The camp looked completely deserted. The cabins were dark and the volleyball pit silent. No canoes cut the surface of the lake. Beyond the woods and the strawberry fields, the Long Island Sound glittered in the last light of the sun. "What are you going to do?" Annabeth asked us. "I don't know." Percy replied. "I got the feeling Chiron wanted me to stay year-round, to put in more individual training time, but I'm not sure that's what I want. I also don't want to leave you both with Clarisse only." Annabeth pursed her lips, then said quietly, "I'm going home for the year, Percy." He stared at her. "You mean, to your dad's?" She pointed toward the crest of Half-Blood Hill. Next to Thalia's pine tree, at the very edge of the camp's magical boundaries, a family stood silhouetted—two little children, a woman, and a tall man with blond hair. They seemed to be waiting. The man was holding a backpack that looked like the one Annabeth had gotten from Waterland in Denver. "I wrote him a letter when we got back," Annabeth said. "Just like you suggested. I told him... I was sorry. I'd come home for the school year if he still wanted me. He wrote back immediately. We decided... we'd give it another try." "That took guts." She pursed her lips. "You won't try anything stupid during the school year, will you? At least ... not without sending me an Iris-message? Both of you?" Percy managed a smile. "I won't go looking for trouble. I usually don't have to."
"You already know my plans."
"When I get back next summer," she said, "we'll hunt down Luke. We'll ask for a quest, but if we don't get approval, we'll sneak off and do it anyway. Agreed?" "Sounds like a plan worthy of Athena."
She held out her hand. Percy shook it. She gave me a hug. "Take care, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth told Percy. "Keep your eyes open."
"You too, Wise Girl."
Then turned to me, "Good luck on your own quest Droopy."
"Of course Peabody." We watched her walk up the hill and join her family. She gave her father an awkward hug and looked back at the valley one last time. She touched Thalia's pine tree, then allowed herself to be lead over the crest and into the mortal world. "I made my decision." Percy said. "What's yours?"
"I'll be leaving camp... I'm going to look for my parent..." He looked at me in shock. "I'll be back next summer," I promised him. "I'll survive until then."
"Alone?"
I smiled at him.
"Don't you want to stay with us? Mom said---"
"I want to find my parent. I need to. I'll be fine Percy."
I helped Percy to his cabin so he could pack and went to mine. To my surprise I see a middle-aged man with an athletic figure slim and fit with salt-and-pepper hair, and a very familiar sly grin. He had bags at his foot.
"Delivery for Y/N L/N."
"Uhm..."
"Hermes." He said.
I froze and looked at him with wide eyes.
"Personally packed. As a thank you for what you're about to do." He smiled softly and handed me the bags.
"H-Huh...?"
"For helping Luke."
"I..."
Don't forget her mail!
Ooh! And tell her to bring us snacks next time we meet since it'll be often now!
No it wouldn't be often! She'll be with Luke!
"Both of you keep quiet." Pulling out a mail he handed it to me. "Luke... prayed to me telling me about your plan. He asked me to help you. I don't know what or why he did it. But I know he'll change thanks to you. So do guide him."
"Sorry you lost me at the talking air..." I blinked.
Hermes laughed and showed a caduceus. "It's just George and Martha."
"Hi?"
Hello!
Hi
"I just wanted to let you know. No god or goddess could see you. No matter how hard they tried. So your secrets.. are really secrets. Good luck on your travel."
Next time we meet you should have snacks.
Then he vanished.
Staring at the letter on my hand, I was stunned seeing it was from... my mom and dad.
Sweetie,
You've made quite a friend here.
-Mom and Dad.
I immediately knew where to look. I hurriedly took my bags not bothering to check the contents. I ran to Percy's cabin and helped him out so we could leave.
Percy got a cab and looked at me worriedly.
"I'll write you. Stay safe Arthur Curry." I ruffled his hair and watched him go.
I didn't know where to go so I just went to the first secluded area I saw.
"You have more stuffs than when you arrived." I heard someone behind me.
"You prayed to your dad. I hope he knows how to pack." I sighed turning to him. Turning around I barely made out Luke from the few days I last saw him. "You okay?"
"Do you know where to look first?"
Call upon our hound.
I whistled, I don't know why. But when I did, D/N came out of the blue. Luke looked at me and my dear dog, who was probably bigger than the hound he'd summon back then. "How do feel about L.A?" I said riding on D/N and making space behind me for Luke.

(requested by anonymous) “Reader and Finn have been best friends ever since they were at NXT.  Reader have a crush on Finn but never express their feelings because she feels Finn only thinks of her as a friend.  Until finally the reader dating Dolph and Finn began to realize his feelings. Reader first moved to RAW and started dating Dolph, 3 months later Finn also got a shake up to RAW.  Dolph had to move to Smack Down and the reader and Dolph relationship ended because of that.”

*** 3 months ago ***
“Finny!” you shout, running up to your best friend. Finn Balor turns around and looks at you.
He smiles and says, “Hey. What’s up? How’d the meeting go?”
You basically shout, “I’m moving to the Raw roster!”
Finn’s smile drops a bit but you don’t notice it. “Raw?” he asks. “I thought ya like it here on NXT.”
You look up at Finn and say, “Ya know that I’ve wanted to go to Raw for a while.”
“I know,” he says. “Ya haven’t been on NXT for that long and I thought ya liked it here.”
You say, “I can talk to Regal and to Vince to get ya moved to Raw with me.”
Finn shakes his head and says, “I’m staying here for a while. I had my time on Raw and they never used me right.”
You pout and say, “I’ll still come visit when I’m home. I’ll be home all the time, I promise.”
He smiles at you and says, “I’m proud of ya for being moved to Raw. Ya will be the best damn announcer that the red brand has ever seen.”
“And I better be the first person ya call after ya win the NXT title,” you say.”
You smile at your best friend and he says, “Of course. Ya will be the first person I call after I win the title.”
“I better be,” you say. “Maybe I’ll come back to NXT eventually but I’ll make sure to watch every week.”
You smile and hug Finn.
When you were told that you were being promoted to Raw, it was a bittersweet moment. You love NXT and you love the roster. Not to mention you don’t want to leave Finn, your best friend and crush since day one in NXT. You’re both from Ireland and have always stuck together. It’s how you became such close friends.
Now you’re leaving and you hate that you are.
***
*** present day - november 2019 ***
You sit in your dressing room, brushing out your long brunette hair. You hum quietly to yourself as you brush your hair.
There’s a soft knock on your door so you get up to answer it. You open the door, revealing your boyfriend Dolph Ziggler. “Hey,” you say, smiling. “I was just about to come see you.”
You have Dolph have been together since you moved to Raw three weeks ago. He asked you out the day you arrived and have been together since.
He kisses your cheek before walking into your dressing room. Dolph says, “The shake up is today and I was just told that I’m moving to the Smackdown roster.”
You look at Dolph and say, “I thought ya told them that ya wanted to stay on Raw.”
“I did tell them but they’re moving Bobby and I to Smackdown,” he says as you approach him. He looks down at you. “We’re going to be on different brands, Y/N.”
You hug him and say, “We’ll make it work, Dolph. We have to.”
He runs his fingers through your hair and say, “I would love to make it work, Y/N. I would love to, but you know what it’s like when couples work on different brands. It rarely ever works out.”
You look up at Dolph and ask, “What are ya saying, Dolph?”
Dolph says, “You know how much I like you and how much I like being with you, but we can’t be together if we’re on different brands. It never works out in the long run.”
“So you’re saying we should break up?” you ask.
He nods in response. “Maybe one day we can reconnect but right now, we can’t be together,” Dolph says.
For some reason, you’re not disappointed by this news. You like Dolph but you’ve always thought that there was someone better for you out there.
Someone like Finn Balor.
You miss Finn. You haven’t spoken in a month because of your schedules. He's been busy defending his title on NXT and you've been busy with being an announcer. You've tried to find time to talk to Finn but either he's busy or you're busy.
Dolph says, "I'll, uh, see you around, Y/N."
"Ya too, Dolph," you say. Dolph leaves your dressing room and you sigh. You go grab your phone and try calling Finn.
Finn doesn't answer, leaving you upset.
There's another knock on your door and you answer it. Triple H stands at your door. "Hi," you say, surprised. "Can I help ya with something?"
Triple H says, "Just coming by to drop off the card for tonight. Pierce is sick."
That's when it hits you. Triple H usually runs things surrounding the NXT brand. You ask, "Is NXT involved in something tonight?"
"Possibly," he says. "If I can get Vince's approval. This is the card with the matches on with that NXT is involved in."
You nod and take the card, reading over it.
Adam Cole versus Drew McIntyre. Lana and Dana Brooke versus Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Seth Rollins versus a mystery opponent is slated to be the main event tonight. "Who's Seth's opponent?" you ask.
Triple H says, "I don't know. He's issuing an open challenge tonight. That's all I know."
You nod and say, "Well, thank you for the card." He gives you a kind smile before walking off. You close the door and sigh.
NXT is getting involved and you can't help but wonder if one Irishman is going to be making an appearance.
To distract yourself, you get into the attire that was left in here for you. A lacey black dress that sparkles. Your shoulders and arms are the only parts of your body that can be seen under the dress because the lace is sheer. The dress falls to just above your knees.
A third person knocks on your door as you're about to do your makeup. You answer it, revealing your best friend, Becky Lynch. She smiles and says, "Look at ya. Looking all snazzy. I like the dress."
You smile and let her in. "Thank you," you say. "But I have no control over my wardrobe. The dress is kinda cute though."
Becky kind of laughs and sits down. You do your makeup as Becky says, "I heard Dolph's moving to Smackdown."
"Yeah, he is," you say. "He came in here and said that relationships don't really last when the couple is on two different rosters. Well, he said that it usually doesn't work out, so he ended it." You shrug.
Your best friend squints her eyes at you and says, "Ya don't seem that upset about it."
You do your eyeshadow and say, "I liked Dolph, but I always thought that there could be someone out there that's better for me."
As you speak, your mind wanders to Finn. You wonder how he's doing. You hope that maybe you'll catch a glimpse of him tonight. Maybe he'll be Seth's mystery opponent. You don't know.
Becky says, "Someone like Finn Balor? Because he's calling ya."
Quickly, you grab your phone that you threw on the couch and you answer the phone. "Finn?" you say as soon as you answer it."
"Hey," he says. "There's my favorite announcer. How ya doing?"
You smile and say, "Fine. I'm doing okay. How are ya doing?"
Finn says, "I've been better. I saw ya called and I wanted to see if something was wrong."
Becky points at you and mouths, "I knew it." You wave her off and say into the phone, "Nothing's wrong. I was just thinking about ya earlier so I thought I'd ring ya to see if ya were busy."
He says, "I'm a little busy but I have a second to talk."
"I was just getting ready for Raw but I can stop for a second," you say.
Finn laughs softly and says, "So, tell me about Dolph. Everything okay there? Ya seemed happy the last time we talked."
You say, "I, um, we kinda broke up. He's being moved to Smackdown because of the shakeup tonight."
He's quiet before he says, "Oh, that's terrible. I'm sorry."
You shrug and say, "It's fine. I know there's someone better for me out there." You glance at the time. "I have to go now but can I call ya later?"
"Yeah," he says. "Call me after Raw is over and we'll actually talk for more than a few minutes."
You smile and say, "Okay. I'll talk to ya later then."
You both say your goodbyes and you hang up the phone.
Becky says, "Tell me how long ya have had a thing for Finn Balor. I don't blame ya, by the way. That man is very attractive. Maybe not as attractive as Seth but still attractive."
You laugh and say, "I've had a thing for him since our NXT days. Basically since day one." You rub the back of your neck. "I'm sure he doesn't feel the same way about me though so I never said anything to him about it."
She laughs and says, "Tell him. You're single now and ya said that there was someone better than Dolph Ziggler out there for ya. What if that person is Finn?"
"He's not on this brand either," you say. "He's NXT champion so he wouldn't have time for me anyway."
Becky says, "Well, that's not true. When Seth was Universal Champion, he still had time for me."
You blink at her and say, "You and Seth were champions at the same time, Becky. You traveled together for press and everything."
She thinks for a second and says, "Yeah. That's very true. Okay, anyway. I have a match tonight against Asuka so Imma go get ready for that. I'll see ya out there."
You nod and finish getting ready for the show tonight.
***
There are five matches on the card tonight, plus the main event. The first match was Dana Brooke and Lana versus Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax. Shayna and Nia won.
The next match was Becky versus Asuka for the title. Asuka retained, which left Becky mad.
The third match was a six-man tag match, with three teams of two. Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston are a team against the teams of my now ex-boyfriend Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode and two members of the Undisputed Era, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong. It's basically a mini Survivor Series match, minus the eliminations. The stipulation is if the Undisputed Era loses, they stay on NXT. If they win, they get moved up to Raw.
The Undisputed Era wins the match and all four of them are now members of the Raw roster.
The fourth match is Keith Lee versus Braun Strowman. Keith wins.
The fifth match is Drew McIntyre versus Adam Cole. Randy Orton interferes and costs Drew the match.
It's main event time. Seth's music hits and you say into your microphone, "Making his way down to the ring, he is the Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins."
Seth gets into the ring. He doesn't have his disciple, Murphy, with him as he's handed a microphone. "So, as you can see, my disciple Murphy isn't here with me tonight. That's because he's a traitor and left me. So, I'm issuing an open challenge for anyone to come out here and prove to me that they have what it takes to be my disciple. Come on, anyone. From Raw or Smackdown, or even NXT. Come on out."
Everyone looks at the stage to wait and see who comes out. Everyone in the arena waits.
And that's when Finn Balor's music hits. Your jaw almost drops, happy and excited to see Finn with his title. The crowd jumps up and cheers. You smile in the timekeeper's area as Finn makes his way down to the ring. He's handed a mic on the way down.
Seth has a smile on his lips as he looks at that title around Finn's waist, who's dressed and ready for a match in his white ring gear and a matching white leather jacket. This is the gear he wore in his last main roster match at Summerslam in 2019 before he went back to NXT in October. The NXT title is now over his shoulder as he steps into the ring.
Finn is looking at Seth. His music fades and he says, "Hi, Seth. So, I heard ya are looking for a match tonight. How's this? Ya and I in the ring right now. If ya win, then ya get my title and I'll be your new whatever ya call it. If I win, I keep my title and ya never can challenge for this title, or any title that I hold, whether it's the WWE Championship or the United States Champion. I think ya get the point."
You look over at Seth and he says, "You're on Balor. Let's get a referee out here and get this started."
The crowd cheers and you're handed a card with something to read on it. You nod and as the guys get ready in the ring. You look up and say, "This match has just been made official by WWE officials. The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the NXT Championship. Introducing first the challenger, weighing in at 217 pounds, from Davenport, Iowa. He is the Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins."
You listen as the crowd boos Seth. You forgot how much the WWE Universe loves Finn Balor.
Once the crowd dies down, you talk into the microphone again. "Weighing in at 190 pounds, from Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland, he is NXT Champion. Finn Balor," you say, smiling as the name Finn Balor leaves your lips. The crowd cheers. Finn looks at you and points at you, making your face heat up.
The ref takes the belt and holds it above his head. Someone runs over and grabs it, bringing the belt back to the little area. You look at the gold belt. It looks so pretty with Finn's side plates on it.
The bell rings and the match is underway. Your eyes are on Finn the whole time.
It takes 20 minutes but Finn hits the Coup de Grace and pins Seth, retaining his title. You take the belt and run to the ring, not being able to hold in your excitement. You bring your microphone with you because you have one more thing left to say.
Once you're in the ring, you almost tackle Finn with a hug. He hugs you back and you hand him his title.
"And still NXT Champion, Finn Balor," you say as Finn's music blares in the arena.
He looks down at you and takes your microphone. You stare up at him as he says, "I, uh, I need to say something really quick."
The crowd dies down and you stare up at your best friend. He looks at his title and he says, "This title isn't mine anymore. This title isn't mine anymore because as of this moment, I am on the Raw roster. As a full-time Raw superstar, I cannot hold the NXT title." He puts the title down on the ground before looking at you. "But as a full-time Raw superstar, I can spend all the time in the world with ya. Travel with ya, talk to ya whenever I want. And most importantly, take ya on a date or two whenever we want."
Your eyes widen as you stare up at Finn, realizing that he has feelings for you too.
"If ya would like, of course," Finn finishes with. The crowd collectively gasps as they wait for your answers.
Finn's arm is still around your waist and you're still standing close to him. So, you give your answer in the one way you've been wanting to. You put your hands on Finn's face and pull his face down to yours. Your lips crash to his and immediately begin moving against them.
He smiles into the kiss and drops the microphone, wrapping both your arms around his neck as his arms wrap around your waist.
The crowd cheers loudly as you kiss Finn in the ring.
***
Eventually, you and Finn make your way back to your hotel room. He tells you about what he had to do to get to Raw.
Since NXT was part of the shakeup this year, there was a chance that he could get sent to Raw. It was small because he held the NXT title. So after some negotiations with William Regal, Triple H, and Vince McMahon, he would voluntarily relinquish his title after a match tonight. So that's what he did. He voluntarily relinquished his title and is now apart of the Raw roster.
He also told Vince that he wants a run or two at the WWE Championship, which is held by Drew McIntyre. Vince agreed because he knows the fans love Finn versus Drew. Add a title in there and it makes for a few good championship matches.
Once back at the hotel room, Finn says, "I need to shower really quick then we can watch movies or something for a bit."
You nod and watch as Finn disappears into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. The water starts and you sigh.
It would be really bad if you just walked into the bathroom and told him everything that you've been feeling, especially tonight.
When Finn walked out in the white gear, a little ache formed in your core and you tried what you could to stop it.
Your feet are carrying you to the bathroom before you can do anything. You shed the dress and your shoes before walking into the bathroom.
The shower in the bathroom is a glass stand up shower. Most of the glass is distorted but the top maybe 16 inches aren't so you can see from Finn's chest up. His eyes are closed as he rinses his hair.
Quickly, you take off the bra and panties you're wearing before you open the door to the shower. Finn looks down at you and asks, "Y/N, what are ya doing?"
"Saving water," you say. "Kinda."
He smiles down at you as you close the glass door. You stare up at him and he asks, "Now what are ya really doing?"
You say, "Seeing ya in the white gear tonight made me feel things, Finn. I know I shouldn't just get in the shower with ya, but-" You're interrupted by Finn's lips coming down to yours. You gasp, surprised by the kiss.
His lips move against yours before he pulls back and says, "Ya are telling me ya want me to, what?"
You stare up at him and say, "Whatever ya want, Finn. I just need ya to do something to me."
Finn smirks a bit and his hands come down to your waist. He guides you so your back is against the wall. You stare up at Finn and he says, "Is this what ya really want? I want to make sure it's what ya want one hundred percent."
Your hands rest on his chest and you nod. "It's what I want, Finn," you say. "I've wanted this for a while."
He smiles and kisses you. The kiss is rougher than the kiss in the ring and his hands start to roam. Soft sighs leave your lips. As the two of you share the kiss, Finn moves and presses you against the cold wall of the shower. Your hands are on Finn's cheeks, slipping your tongue into his mouth. Finn smirks against your lips.
The kiss continues for a second before Finn leans down and picks you up by your thighs. You wrap your legs around his waist as Finn pulls back from your lips and he starts to kiss your neck.
A soft moan escapes your lips as your hands slide into Finn's short wet hair. You smile and say, "This has gotten longer since we last saw each other."
Finn smirks and looks up at you, detaching his lips from your neck. He says, "I'm guessing ya like it."
You giggle and nod, saying, "It gives me something to hold onto." He laughs and kisses you again.
He reaches to the side and turns the water off. Carefully and slowly, Finn leaves the shower with you wrapped around him. He's careful not to slip on the tile floor of the bathroom as he leaves the room.
Finn walks out to one of the beds, laying you on your back. The kiss breaks as he looks down at you, eyes wandering all over your body.
"I've imagined how ya looked for weeks and this exceeded all of my expectations," he says, smiling down at you.
You giggle and stare up at him, saying, "I could say the exact same thing." You glance down at his semi-erect member that's poking at your thigh.
He starts to kiss your jaw and he says, "You're so beautiful. I can't believe that maybe you'll be mine after this."
Sighing, you say, "I've been yours this entire time, Finn."
Finn smirks against your neck. You slide your hands down his sides and use one of your hands to stroke Finn's member. He gasps a bit against the skin against your neck. You feel him begin to harden as you stroke him.
"Keep going like that and I won't last as long as ya probably want me to," he gasps.
You leave kisses to his head and say, "We have all night, Finn. And all day tomorrow."
He looks up at you and says, "Good, because I won't be able to stop once I've started."
You reach up, pecking his lips before you say, "Then start."
Finn smirks a bit before he kisses you harder than he ever has before. You sigh softly against his lips as he runs his tip through your already soaked folds. "Finn," you mumble against his lips. "Please. Tease me another time. I need ya right now."
Slowly, Finn begins to push himself into you. You gasp into the passionate kiss.
You're not a virgin but you're not really that experienced in bed. Finn knows this so he's making sure he's careful with you. On the other hand, you know how experienced Finn is in bed. He's never had to tell you. You used to travel with him when you worked for the NXT brand and stayed in the hotel room next to him sometimes. He's not really that quiet, and neither is whoever he's with.
He moves slowly and shallowly at first, making sure that he's not hurting you. The little bit of pain that you feel slowly melts away to pleasure, and you're a little bit of a moaning mess underneath Finn's body. You drag your fingers down Finn's back as he moves.
Every few minutes, Finn picks up speed and thrusts deeper into you. You wrap your legs around Finn's waist again. Your back arches off the bed ooccationally and chase Finn's hips. He slips deeper into you, making you moan and gasp under Finn.
A wave of confidence overtakes you a couple minutes later. You roll so you're straddling Finn's waist with him still inside you.
Finn stares up at you as you begin to move your hips, riding him. Finn intertwines his fingers with yours and helps hold you up. You throw your head back as you bounce up and down on Finn's now rock hard member. Moans escape your lips and Finn grunts and growns beneath you.
Your walls begin to clench around Finn and you moan, "Finn, baby. I'm about to come."
"Come, princess," he gasps, thrusting up into you as you move your hips.
Your eyes are squeezed shut and you release around Finn as he quickly pulls out of you and comes all over your stomach. You collapse onto Finn, your sweaty chests sticking together as you come down off your high.
Finn wraps his arms around your shoulders and you sigh, your ear pressed against his chest. His heart is beating quickly. You feel him leave kisses on your forehead. You smile and look up at him, resting your chin on his chest. Finn smiles down at you.
"So what do ya say?" he asks. "Will ya officially be mine?"
You giggle and nod, leaning up and pecking his lips. "Yes."

Tumblr media
when jisung and you arrive at his place he doesn't hesitate to push you against the door as soon as it closes. he still manages to be so gentle with you, staring lovingly into your eyes. the two of you have come down from your highs considerably by now, a sleepy feeling beginning to come over you both.
"god, i'm so happy this is actually happening... i can't wait to get to know every part of you," the words are mumbled and make your face heat up. he moves down to kiss you, slow and passionate. his lips move over yours tenderly, everything slowing down around you as you fall further and further into just him.
as you lose yourself in his touch it's hard for you to remember the point in time you would go back your dorm and see your roommate still up, waiting up for you to get home from hanging out with changbin, han, and chan. this was when you had started getting more comfortable around the boys and were just starting to spend more and more time with them.
ryujin always knew when you'd be coming home late and had no doubt that you would be ready to go on about jisung. so she waited up to let you talk to her about him, knowing you needed someone for that. and one time she told you that, too.
"start coming home earlier, y/n-yah! i miss that extra two hours of sleep!"
"hey, no one said you have to wait for me! i have a key, too, you know," you pouted back her. she had given you a dramatic eye roll and sigh in return, deadpanning back to you afterwards.
"you know it's only because i know you're getting a crush on that jinyoung kid, right?"
"jisung, he’s older than us and therefore not a kid, and no i'm not!"
"yes you are, like i'm so sure you are. and i know how much i usually want to talk about my crushes too. so i'm just helping you out, love."
after that night you had stopped talking about him so much. you still thought of him plenty, but no one had to know that. ryujin is still your roommate, and your best friend. you can’t help wondering what she’ll say when you tell her about all this. she's older than you but not even by much, you two were still born in the same year. but something about how she carries herself made her seem so wise and made you feel like her opinion matters a lot for some reason. maybe you could say you'd admired her a little.
when she told you this though, you were definitely a little embarrassed. all three of them flirted with you by then so you had figured that it all meant nothing. and with that decided, you thought han would never like you.
but now his tongue runs over your bottom lip, taking it in his teeth playfully. you look up at him smiling when he pulls away. "i feel so lucky that you’re kissing me right now, sungie... it’s like a dream come true," you giggle, one hand on his bicep and the other combing through the front of his hair tenderly.
his heart flutters at your words for sure, especially with your eyes sparkling up at him like that. he's wanted this for a long time, too. as long as he's known you. he never would have thought that he could actually have you alone and in his arms, letting him kiss and touch you.
there were many nights he would go bother either of his hyungs to talk about you, laying his head in chan's lap or laying on top of changbin’s back. he’d sigh wistfully as he spoke about how you found stupid things funny, and how you seem like a good dresser, and how he thinks you do your makeup nice, and just about anything else he could think of. at first they just thought their hannie was excited to have a new friend, but when they saw it wasn't just that they immediately turned it into a joke.
"you like her! you like our little baby y/n?!"  they exclaimed on the day they had cornered him. the two elders were discussing not only how jisung talking about you had started to seem almost constant, but also how he was sounding a bit smitten too.
his denial was what had caused them to start flirting with you in the first place. "if he won't admit it, we'll break him into admitting it," chan and changbin had shared many giggles and many blunts while going over the matter together. after so long they both began to wonder if it was almost a little evil, forcing their younger friend to watch them flirt with the girl they knew he had liked. but hey, it worked right?
jisung knows that he's the lucky one here, he has no doubt about it at all, and hearing you say that you really think otherwise could probably break his heart. but no way would he let you know that you're affecting him like that. not right now.
so to recover from the moment he just shakes his head and kisses you again. he doesn't even have to say anything, his lips on yours speak a thousand words and it's enough for you. then you're both just focused on each other again. his lips are back on your neck in no time, only adding to the seemingly endless collection of hickeys you've gathered from him today.
"fuck, i just remembered how bad i wanted to taste you earlier... come on, baby, let's go to my room," he whispers in your ear, and you feel as if you were in a trance. when you look at him, you see a harsh and demanding demeanor barely hidden behind the sweet facade his eyes hold. just the look he gives you is enough to get you to nod and follow him eagerly to his bedroom.
not that you’d even need any guidance to the room. you’re as familiar with this apartment as you are your own childhood home. and there were definitely many nights you would have to text ryujin that the boys had once again convinced you to stay the night. sometimes the four of you would set up a huge bed of blankets on the floor in the living room, watching movies and smoking and talking until you knew you had to go to sleep. but other times, if maybe one of the boys had something to take care of early or if you had a morning class, you would all agree not to go all out.
so instead you would always end up staying in jisung's room, him just usually the first to offer. the first few times you slept in there he insisted on sleeping on the floor, a fight you were never able to win. then there was eventually a night where he gave up easily, a bad day leaving a strong craving for his bed that night, and being close to you sounded like a huge bonus. 
you had let him fall into your arms, soothingly running a hand through his hair as the other rubbed his back. he still thinks about how you sat and listened to him, making soft sounds every once in a while to show you were paying attention. he’s pretty sure that’s the night he realized he loves you. and after that it was no longer weird for you to cuddle and share a bed, something that he was proud of even though it was purely innocent in his mind.
once the door is closed behind you guys, jisung stands in front of you to look down at you with fond eyes. you're both in a daze, the drowsy feeling from coming down mixed with just touching each other leaves your eyelids hooded and chests heaving. one of his thumbs brushed across your bottom lip, his other hand rubbing your hip underneath the baggy sweatshirt.
you can't look anywhere but at him, everything else dulling in comparison to the way his eyes are sparkling even with how the fatigue is beginning to darken the area around them. his hands run across your body on top of the fabric as he moves up to unzip your sweater, pushing it off of you completely and sliding his hands over the skin on your sides. stepping away for a seconds he slides his hands under your tank top to move it up, watching the way your boobs bounce slightly when they’re freed from the thin material.
his hands don't stop wandering your body; groping your ass over your sweatpants, digging his fingers into your hips to drag you against his clothed bulge every once in a while, running up and down your back, brushing against your boobs attentively. the way his touch makes you light up gives you the urge to touch him as well, wanting to feel all of him you can.
your hands go under his shirt and he's nearly amused by the cute little pout you get as you push the material up, your eyes asking him to take it off. thinking about you in the way he's gotten to know you so well, it's really quite funny to think about how needy you're getting for him right now. the only thing that keeps him from laughing is just looking at you. it kills him how you still manage to look so innocent, your small figure staring up at him with your bottom lip out and your eyes wide.
you're glad when he pulls his shirt off, but he doesn't give you much time to enjoy it as he begins pushing your sweatpants down. your panties go down with them, jisung letting you hold his hand while you step out of your shoes and pants.
after you kick the pile aside on the floor his hands are on your hips, guiding you backward towards the edge of his bed. he lowers you onto the foot of the mattress and kneels on the floor in front of you. gazing down at him in excitement, you feel his lips on your thigh already start to make you feel so, so good.
he places his hands on your stomach and gently pushes you back to have you lay back as his kisses inch closer to your heat. you breathe heavier in anticipation, aching for him to touch you. his hands go to your thighs, pulling your legs over his shoulders so he can get closer to you.
jisung has a hard time taking his eyes off of you laid out for him like this. he's imagined this for a while now, and he couldn't be happier that he's finally going to be the one who gets to please you. he has take a second to appreciate it all, like how you're already breathing so heavily just thinking about him touching you. or how your hands are so naturally resting on your tits, not even realizing yourself gently kneading and pinching at them.
you look more beautiful than he could ever imagine, and having you laid out waiting for him to do something to you has his cock aching in his boxers.
when you first feel his tongue run over your folds a moan falls past your lips before you can even realize it. you blush a little and one hand goes to cover your mouth but jisung just smirks against you.
"no one is home yet, baby, don't worry... let me hear your pretty sounds, okay?" you look down at him, his lips glistening with your juices. you nod slowly as he licks his lips, head falling back when he returns to your core. the way his tongue works on your clit and moves to push inside you has sounds pouring from your mouth, only encouraging him further and further.
you slightly roll your hips up, wanting more. one of his arms falls across your hips to push you down and the other hand goes to push two fingers inside you. you gasp at the feeling, clenching around his digits.
it doesn't take too long, and maybe it is just a little too quick. but with the way it feels to have his long fingers inside of you and his mouth so deliciously attached to your clit, not to mention the drug still amplifying every sensation, you know you're already close. you don't usually cum so quick, but han jisung just knows how to make you feel amazing apparently. how did you not do this sooner?
"oh, fuck, y/n," his head comes up, hair in his eyes as he looks up at your whining figure. "you're gonna cum already, huh? i can fucking feel it with how much you’re clenching around my fingers, baby," he groans, watching his fingers moving in and out of you.
he speeds up and seems to hit that perfect spot every time his fingers are pounding back into you. all that's heard in the room is the sound of his fingers moving in you and his name leaving your mouth repeatedly as you're pushed closer to the edge.
once he ducks his head back down to suck at your bundle of nerves you know that's it, and you're letting out high pitched moans as you come around his fingers.
"you're so hot, i swear," he groans while watching you. his eyes linger a moment on how your walls are gripping around his fingers. you look up at him as he slows down for a moment, meeting his eyes and seeing the cocky glint in them. "and so tight, jesus... if you're this tight around my fingers, i don't even know if you can take my dick, jagiya," you can tell he's half kidding, but a smug expression is stuck on his face as he chuckles a little.
and the joking undertone reminds you for a moment that he's still the same jisung you've gotten to know. the one who has always been there to make you laugh and who you know you'll always be more comfortable around than anyone else in the world. the one who you think you may have come to be in love with.
your thoughts are mushy and way too sweet for the way he looks up at you so sure of himself, the wetness from your pussy still glistening on his lips and chin. he looks hotter than you could ever process, you almost feel flustered. but you don't want him to feel the satisfaction of that fact, so you roll your eyes and look down at him again. "i'm so sure," you tease him. his eyebrows go up a little, fake shock and hurt on his face.
"are you saying you think i'm small?" he gasps, standing up. you crawl further up the bed, sitting near the pillows and shrugging. your eyes don't leave him as he goes to his dresser, pulling open a drawer and taking out a condom. he tugs his pants off to roll it on. you watch and take in every detail you can, noticing one vein that’s especially prominent on the side. well, he's definitely not small.
and then in a second he's hovering over you, eyes still just as confident as he looks up and down your entire body. he's good at playing the whole smug guy character, but you can still see the sweet look behind it all. 'i guess you really are good at hiding it, han jisung,' you think adoringly to yourself, 'but i still know you're just a smushy little shy boy.' it will be a cold day in hell when you don't let him take control over you, though. and you already can tell there's going to be many levels to his dominance all to be explored eventually, an exciting thought for sure.
"well then i'm just gonna have to shut you up," he brings his hand up. you know exactly what to do for him, opening your mouth to take his fingers in and sucking them clean of your own juices. and then he's pushing into you without warning, your mouth falling open as he does. stopping for a moment, his fingers are pulled from your mouth as he looks down at you.
your jaw is taken in one hand to make you look at him, his touch ever so gentle. concern is written over his face, silently asking if you're good. you hum and nod, smiling from the satisfying feeling of him stretching you out. as he rocks into you slowly, sweet kisses are left all over your forehead and cheeks and nose and lips and anywhere else he can reach.
you look up at him as his member drags against your walls delightfully. he really does look sleepy and you're sure you do too, but his fluffy hair and swollen lips make him look so soft and cuddly in the most charming way. his hands pin your hips to the bed, one of yours going to run through his hair and the other going to his cheek.
while the pace is slow, it still feels better than any you've ever had. the fact that the first time you two are having sex is so mushy and loving like this definitely makes it better in your mind, you know it will always be a heartwarming memory no matter what happens between you two.
"sungie, oh my god... shit, you feel so good," you breathe out, head falling back into the pillows. he leaves a kiss on your neck before bringing one hand to lift your head back up, pressing his lips on yours as you clench around him.
he was right before, you really were so tight around his cock and it was driving him crazy. that and the sight of himself moving in and out of your wet pussy had him already close, but no way was he going to miss seeing you cum again.
"you feel good around me too, baby. i guess i did fit, but you are so fucking tight y/n. jesus," he gives an extra hard thrust, forcing a moan from you. you let out a low, pleased hum as he begins pounding into you harder and deeper, your eyes rolling back as he hits unimaginable spots. the smirk never leaves his face as the way you moan his name is almost unintelligible, your words slurred from pleasure and the sluggishness starting to take over. fortunately his dick is more than enough to keep you awake.
one hand goes down to rub circles into your clit, his hips speeding up slightly. him drilling into you just right has you pulling him closer to you to attach your lips again and moaning against him. his other hand is tangled in your long hair, elbow near your head to support himself. you know for a fact that you're still a little stoned, your body is tingling comfortingly and it makes you feel jisung's touches twenty times better. your body is on fire and there's no way to keep you from cumming anymore.
jisung has to pull away from the kiss as you release around him, the feeling triggering his own orgasm and pulling a few throaty moans from him. you both clutch each other tightly, your head buried into his neck as he continues to fuck you, sloppier now, just to work you both through your highs.
you whine a little when he pulls out of you, squirming under him a bit. leaving a kiss on your forehead he stands up to throw away the condom.
you catch your breath and watch him as he moves, getting comfortable by curling up under the blanket with your head peeking out on top of his pillows. just yesterday you'd think it would be impossible you would ever get to do that with jisung. but you're beyond happy you did and not a single fiber of you regrets it.
especially not while you watch how he hurries back over to the bed from the trash can near the door, lifting the covers up and diving in with you. he comes up behind you and hugs you close, nuzzling his head into your bare shoulder. a chuckle falls past your lips as you look back him, mumbling a small 'what.'
"i heard my hyungs in the kitchen, who knows how long they've been back," he cringes at you, his nose scrunching up adorably. your mouth falls open and you shift to face him.
"oh my god!"
"i know..."
"aw, no... do you think maybe they might have not heard anything?" you pout hopefully up at him.
he winces and shakes his head. "ahh, they sounded pretty settled in, like they've been here a while. i'm sure they did hear you moaning my name at some point," his tone is purely playful but you still whine, hitting his chest lightly.
"shut up."
"never."
and neither of you say anything else, his arms pulling you tighter against him. he leaves a small kiss on your nose, then he closes his eyes and settles in more. it's not long before you hear his soft snores. and you know it won't be too much longer before you're out too.
no other time you've been in his arms has been so blissful. any other time has always been borderline painful, your mind never letting you forget how he didn't feel the way you did. you're glad you were wrong. 'i definitely love him' you think to yourself.
you nearly feel overwhelmed with how your heart fills to the brim with love as you stare admiringly up at the peaceful looking boy. stopping yourself from reaching out to squish his cheeks isn't easy, but you manage. instead you bring a hand up to push aside some hair that was falling over his eyes, stroking his cheek lightly after.
being in his arms makes you feel just so completely and absolutely safe. it's so hard to remember that this is real. you stop looking at him and rest your head on his chest, closing your eyes and letting sleep take you.
