"How do I look?" Sunny tosses the perfectly sculpted curls in her hair once more, pouting in the dressing room mirror, making sure that not a strand was out of place.
"For the eighth time, you look great, as always." She stands, her red off-the-shoulder top accenting her white pencil skirt and perfect figure, she really did look gorgeous. "Great isn't enough. This is the first time I'm interviewing THE BTS. I need to look perfect."
"You do. I promise." You reassure with a comforting right hand on her shoulder while you center her necklace with your left. "Y/n, we need you out here to help set up." Your manager cracks the door open to call for you briefly before leaving.
"I still cannot believe you dragged me into this coffee girl job just for you to get close to Namjoon." Sunny's full lips stretch from ear to ear showing off her million-dollar smile, "What's so wrong about me wanting you nearby for emotional support? But at least I got you a job out of it, 3 weeks ago you were on the brink of poverty.'' Her arms crossed and you had to admit, she did have a point.
"What was the whole point of this again?" You simply had to ask, remembering the midnight phone call Sunny surprised you with about a month ago when she landed the Hybe interviewer position.
"Remember the story I told you about, in Junior year, me and this boy from math camp snuck out 6 miles away with fake IDs and got shitfaced at the nearest bar then hooked up but I never got his name and he was in the middle of signing my journal we were interrupted and I never saw him again until-"
"You saw Namjoon's face on a billboard in Seoul, and you took this opportunity to get close to see if it was him or not. Yes, I remember now, it's all coming back to me." You finish her story for her.
"Exactly, and-"
"--Y/n, sometime today would be great." Your manager interrupts once again and you leave, apologizing frantically for making them wait, not wanting to lose this job. It actually paid pretty well considering all you did was make drinks.
Walking out of the dressing room, ignoring the buzz in the back pocket of your jeans as you followed your manager to the coffee cart offset. Although from here you had a perfect view of where the interview would take place.
They set it up to be very stylish and modern with BTS albums and concept photos placed strategically around the set within the camera shot. Along with a small coffee table, one chair on one side where Sunny would sit and seven on the other side.
It almost gave you chills to think about. The fact that in a few moments, the most popular boy band in the continent would be sitting right there. All seven of them, including the tempting one.
The one who makes you stumble over your words every time he comes down to the first floor to get a coffee even though there's a gazillion other places to get something to drink in the building.
Every time you see him, he's displaying a new style. Sometimes he comes down stacked with complex layers of clothing and covered in jewelry, or with nothing more than a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt, although the latter was possibly the worst of your few interactions. He's just so handsome, it made you want to squirm.
That day he was saying all the right things, yet saying nothing at all. Asking you simple questions like when you started working here, and if you liked coffee, meanwhile all you could mutter was an embarrassing 'yes'. What exactly you were saying yes to? You may never know.
You turned your back to the set and focused on making the pre-ordered drinks the members had sent down with their manager beforehand. By the time you turned back around Sunny was sitting in her place, anxious but ready.
You've been best friends since the 6th grade. She's incredibly outgoing and sociable, a balancing contrast to your more introverted nature although you could be a little extroverted with some alcohol in your system.
She was born for this job, you're sure she'll kill the interview. She mentioned that she'd bumped into a few of the members since she started working a month ago, but not Namjoon.
She definitely underestimated how hard it would be to 'bump' into a man who is guarded by security constantly and extremely busy, not to mention rarely in the country.
Hoseok was the first one to walk in, looking sharp as ever in casual attire but he he made it look incredible. Next was Jimin, and you noticed the way Sunny's eyes nearly widened when she finally saw Namjoon walk in behind Tae.
Finally, they were all inside and all greeted Sunny with a friendly hug and you can see she enjoyed her hug with Namjoon a little too much. Somehow finding something small to laugh about with him as they pulled away.
With an empty cup in your hand, you watched the most handsome group of men you've ever seen, file into the room and take a seat. "Go set these down before cameras start rolling." You feel a tap on your shoulder from another worker.
Did you zone out?
You placed a firm hand on your chest, taking a deep breath before placing a sturdy grip on the handles of the cart and bringing their beverages over. 'One foot in front of the other' you remind yourself, doing your best to ignore the feeling of their gazes turning to you as you got closer.
Unable to look any of them in the eyes as you set down their drinks on the table saying the name of each one so they know which one is theirs.
You could feel his gaze on you whilst Sunny got to witness it first hand from where she sat. The way his jaw slowly clenches with each passing moment, watching you with dark, intense eyes. In that moment, the world around him blurred, and all that remained was the captivating image of you.
It was while you were placing down the final cup that you felt bold enough to finally look up from the table, glancing at Jimin who was talking to Hoseok on his right. Slowly your line of sight inches up and over his head to Jungkook who was sitting on a taller chair behind him.
He was looking right at you.
And that was more than enough for you to return to the cart and retreat to your station. The boys reached for their cups as the countdown to the interview began.
You watched with engaged eyes from the sidelines as the interview began, going through basic introductions and standard questions, you were listening along to the jokes made along the way.
It seemed they were having a great time out there, but you couldn't focus on all of them for too long. You wouldn't be doing your duties as Sunny's best friend if you didn't watch Namjoon's every move; including how he seemed to be the first one to answer almost any of her questions.
The questions were flying by and the discussion was so entertaining to watch but it was over before you even registered it. Sure, cameras had stopped rolling but they were all still talking.
You felt another buzz in your pocket, finally deciding to check.
 Daehyun: Are you still mad? It's been 2 days, you're being dramatic. 12:02 pm
 Daehyun: Why aren't you answering my texts? 1:12 pm
 Daehyun: Fine. Keep ignoring me. Real mature, Y/n. 1:13 pm
You scoff at the messages.
Unbelievable.
Your boyfriend has left you astonished. Again!
You put your phone back on silent, secretly wishing you'd never checked it in the first place. Muttering under your breath about what a jerk he's been to you lately but you stop yourself. Because he's still your boyfriend, and sure, he fucked up a few times, bad. It doesn't change the fact that you're in a relationship with him.
If you could even call it that.
You've slept together twice. Well- 1.5 times if you wanted to get specific. The second time was so bad that you simply had to stop it altogether and make up some excuse so that you didn't hurt his feelings.
Shaking him out of your head and focusing back on your task at hand which was collecting the empty mugs from the table. Repeating the same process as before, avoiding all eye contact, but this time you didn't look up.
You didn't bother because you already knew he was watching you.
You were intimidated but you weren't oblivious.
-
"Y/n! Y/n! Y/n!" You hear her from around the corner before you see her running towards you at your coffee station on the first floor. Sunny was practically bursting. You would think that she had captured the sun between her hands but it was something that would take your life for a spin, but you didn't know that yet.
"You're interview went so well!" You slip in your comment first knowing that once she says whatever she has to say, it'll go on for years.
"I know right! After you left to pack up, I was still talking to the guys and they really seemed to like me so they invited me and any +1 I want to invite on their weekend in Vegas trip tomorrow night! All expenses paid for!" Jaw-dropping wasn't the word. Knee buckling may be a better fit as you had quite literally stumbled and dropped a mug, thankfully it didn't break.
"No. No no no." You say, backing up and her entire demeanour deflated like a devastated puppy. "Why not?" You lean in close, whispering, "Because Jungkook is gonna be there--" She interrupts you, practically exploding with emotions. "Oh my god, he wants you so bad. Did you see the way he was looking at you?!" She whisper shouts.
"I know!" you plain shout out, realizing your volume needed adjusting and leaning forward onto the counter. "But he's Jeon Jungkook and I have Daehyun-" The most disgusted look runs across Sunny's face.
"I cannot believe you are even comparing the two right now. You said it yourself, one is Jeon Jungkook, and the other is Daehyun, a man you should've left in the dust months ago." Here we go again, you sigh.
"C'mon Y/n. He's an asshole, he's childish, he's bad in bed and honestly, the list should end there but no, he humiliated you in front of your family and he was caught in your sister's dm's on Christmas!!"
"It's May for god's sake and he's still stressing you out, and seeing you stressed makes me stressed. So why don't you come tomorrow, I'll keep you away from Jungkook if it comes to that, but please, you need to let loose a little and forget about him for just the weekend." She begs.
She could see you were starting to consider it.
"Please?" She pouts, giving you those same puppy eyes that convinced you to work here in the first place. "Please don't look at me like that, stop." You try to avoid her sorrowful gaze but It's like it intensifies to a point where you just can't look away, nor can you deny.
"Fine, fine. Okay, I'll go."
--
Considering you only just found out you were leaving the country yesterday, you think you did pretty good packing light but efficiently.
That's what you were thinking as you stepped behind Sunny onto the empty private jet. She'd already made arrangements to sit beside Namjoon.
She was crazy but you had to give the girl credit, she worked fast.
You weren't taking in a single thing, part of you was still in disbelief you had even seen the boys up close and personal yesterday.
This would all sink in for you in 5 years and then you'll be hit with a numbing regret of not doing things differently.
Or maybe it'll sink in for you right now, Jimin's full head of brown wavy hair is the first one you see to pop up on the plane and he flashes you a kind smile, taking a seat beside you.
He introduces himself as if you and half the world don't already know him but you engage anyway, giving him your name and the rest is history.
The flight was 11 hours so there was a lot of ground to cover between the two of you for the first 6 hours. Jimin was just such an easy person to open up with, any time you said something crazy you felt like he would have an even crazier story of his own to share.
He'd told you all about his first impressions of the guys to his first scandal that the label somehow managed to cover up because even you were in shock. It would have been over for him.
Then it was your turn, telling him about your exhausting boyfriend since it all started seven months ago.
"On Christmas?!" He shouts, "Why are you with him again?" You groan, "God you sound just like Sunny!"
The two of you were clearly enjoying your conversation while Sunny worked on getting Namjoon to talk a little bit about his past, trying to see if he really was the boy from all those years ago, but he seemed occupied reading his book and she wasn't going to interrupt him any longer. She sighs softly, looking out the window, watching the clouds fly by like art.
Meanwhile, at the front of the jet, Jungkook typed away on his laptop, sometimes blurbing some possible lyrics, but mostly keeping himself busy with a thousand rounds of Tetris. He tuned out the sound of your angelic laughter with his headphones, but it couldn't stop him from glancing to the back of the plane where you sat with Jimin every so often.
Only about an hour left before you landed and you really needed to pee but Jimin was in the way and fast asleep. You looked around, it seemed that everyone was fast asleep, but you really had to go.
Lightly tapping Jimin and asking him to let you through, he moves, half awake, just giving you enough time to pass before going back to his original position.
You exited the bathroom, nearly falling to the ground in horror when you came face to face with the man you'd nearly forgotten was on the jet. He smiles that classic bunny smile that the fans go crazy over.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He says it so sweetly, and in this hushed tone due to the late hour of the night it was making your head think things. Things that you should not be thinking about.
"You okay?" Checking in, seeing that you seemed to have zoned out mid-conversation. Shit. You were doing it again. "Y-yeah." You hated speaking to him it made you feel like you couldn't speak at all. He was just so tall, and his eyes were so big and endearing and-
"Really? Cause it looks like you've got something on your mind." It comes out in such a way that brings heat to your face, suddenly hyper-aware that everyone is asleep, and the two of you are out of sight in the narrow hall of the bathroom.
"Yeah, just excited for tomorrow." You lie, you felt sick to your stomach. He made you sick to your stomach. He gets a little closer, now close enough for you to be able to smell the soft cologne on his clothes. "What's got you so excited?"
It felt like you were watching yourself fall from the sky, it was slow but graceful, but you knew once you hit the bottom, things would get ugly. So you grew wings. "My boyfriend. We're planning on Facetiming tomorrow." It was like a repellant, the way he stepped back.
"Oh, that's nice." He mumbles and you take this opportunity to run back to your seat, hopping over Jimin and strapping yourself back in your seat, shaking your head over and over again.
This was a bad idea. You should not have come on this trip.
-
"She has a fucking boyfriend." Is the first thing Jungkook says to Yoongi and Jimin while the three sit in the back of the taxi that is en route to the hotel. Yoongi wasn't listening, still half asleep after only waking up 30 minutes ago. He would need a repeat of it all tomorrow.
"Pfft. Barely." Jimin mumbles. Triggering quite possibly the fasted head turn known to mankind, Jungkook looks at him with intrigue, "What do you mean by that."
"He's an asshole. Like a literal piece of shit, but she's still with him for whatever reason. It's gotta be Stockholm syndrome." Jimin shrugs. "But you can't tell her I told you this, I think she's pretty cool, so before you get your dick wet, think with your head first."
Yoongi hums in agreement with that one statement. He may be asleep but he knows a good statement when he hears one.
-
Jungkook did think. He thought about you all night. From the cab to the hotel, until he fell asleep and again when he woke up. Sure, you had a boyfriend, but it sounds like you shouldn't be with him, or at least deserved someone better.
The morning sun seeps through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the lavish surroundings. You and Sunny share a glance, a silent acknowledgment of the incredible experience that awaits. Or at least that's what Sunny thinks.
Instead, you retreat under the covers of your bed with an unpleasant sound. "How could I let you bring me here." Your voice is muffled and scratchy from it being the morning still. "Because you love me." She runs from her bed and jumps onto yours.
"Should we get room service?" She proposes and you slowly pull the covers down, revealing an interested expression. "Who's paying?" You ask. "Who cares! It's not us." She springs up and bounces for the phone.
By the late afternoon, you'd gotten an invite from Jimin, inviting you guys down to the pool, it was reserved just for them. "We're going, this isn't up for debate, Y/n. You said you would relax on this trip, so it's my job to make sure you do!" She pulls out the violet two-piece you'd packed in your luggage and shoves you into the bathroom, throwing the clothes in there with you after and shutting the door.
"I hate you y'know," you say from the other side of the door.
"You'll thank me one day, Y/n. One day."
-
There was a roar of cheers from the guys as the two of you walked into sight, the sun was beaming down on you and you were glad you brought your sunscreen.
Jungkook tried to be respectful to the sham of a relationship you were in but what was he supposed to do? You looked so hot in your bathing suit, you were so small but you still had curves in all the right places.
He just wanted to break you in half. Pin you down and-
A splash of water hits him in the face, "Stop eye fucking her and act like you've been neutered for once." Yoongi warns, swimming away before Jungkook could retaliate.
Jin calls Sunny into the water, and she just about jumped in while you were working on unwrapping your new bottle of sunscreen. Jungkook uses this as an opportunity. Looking down at the white shirt that was now soaked through, sticking to his abs he slowly steps out of the water.
Looking you right in the eyes as you shook the bottle. Now you were staring but you didn't care. You were looking at the son of Adonis, or maybe the god himself.
In the warm glow of the poolside sun, Jungkook emerged from the sparkling water, droplets cascading down his glistening skin. The pool's rippling surface bore witness to his athletic grace as he approached the pool chair where you reclined, still shaking the bottle.
His steps were confident, each one leaving a trail of water on the tiles beneath his feet. As he neared, he held your gaze with an intense, playful glint in his eyes. The air between you became charged with a magnetic energy, and a sly smile played on his lips.
With deliberate movements, Jungkook reached down to the hem of his white shirt, clinging to his sculpted physique. The fabric peeled away, revealing the contours of his toned abs. Beads of water followed the curves of his body, accentuating every defined muscle.
As the shirt came off, the sunlight caught on the droplets clinging to his skin, creating an ethereal effect. The sensual eye contact between the two of you intensified, creating a moment suspended in time. The poolside ambiance seemed to hush, allowing the connection between them to take center stage.
Your fist clenched, the sunscreen blurted out of the bottle, some landing on the smooth skin of your thigh but most hit the chair.
Jungkook's expression hinted at a playful confidence, acknowledging the allure of the moment. Your little accident told him all he needed to know. You wanted him.
Even if you didn't know it yet.
Wiping desperately at the sunscreen that had landed on you, a bigger hand comes to help. Gently rubbing the soft flesh of your thigh, Jungkook was crouched to your level with nothing more than a sincere smile as he helped you with your sunscreen.
Your mouth gaped like a fish out of water as you watched him from beside yourself. Unable to believe what was happening. You could feel your heart beating in your ears, and other places but you shook your head.
"Wh-what-" Jungkook looks up to you, moving his hand away. "My bad. I didn't mean to overstep, I just noticed that you'd spilt some of your sunscreen," He inches just a little closer so that you looked down at him from where you sat on your chair. "I'd hate for it to go to waste."
That mischievous tongue of his makes an appearance briefly as it swipes over his bottom lip before retreating; leaving behind glossy plump lips. It's not what he says, but how he says it.
Almost as though he wanted you to break.
You hated how he made you feel without saying anything out of the ordinary.
"You have to be shitting me," Yoongi curses to no one in particular as he watches Jungkook lean up towards you from where he was floating in the pool on the flamingo inflatable.
"You've gotta admit, the boy's determined." Jin adds while Hoseok shakes his head, "He just doesn't know when to give up."
--
Opening your hotel room door to see Jimin leaning against the wall waiting for you. He looked incredible in his black button-up with the sleeves rolled to the elbows. His hair swooped to perfection.
"About time." He kicks himself off the wall as you scoff, "Don't blame me, blame the dress." Your freshly manicured nail points to the red, velvet dress that left your chest exposed before it went under the halter neckline.
There was so much skin offered to anyone that looked at you. You looked absolutely stunning. The way the dress clung tightly to your curves was almost ungodly but made you seem even more angelic.
Twirling on your toes slowly to showcase the full rotation of your outfit and Jimin failed to suppress his gasp. The back- Your back was completely exposed safe for where the halter crossed behind your neck.
"You look hot, and I'm not just saying that." You grin, leading the way to the elevator and waiting for it to come up.
While you were watching the elevator screen, Jimin was watching you. Not lustfully or anything since he really did see the two of you becoming close friends in the future but his gaze was full of.. fear?
Jungkook was going to eat you alive tonight, and he was willing to put money on it.
The man has been able to show limited amounts of self-control since the trip began, and his little shirtless stunt at the pool earlier that day was proof.
The elevator dings and the doors open.
You step in, hearing your phone vibrating from within your maroon chain side bag. Digging through your various lipsticks, mini perfumes and hair pins you finally grab your buzzing device.
 Daehyun: When did you go to Vegas?? and how did you get there? 4:33 pm
 Daehyun: Baby, I'm sorry. I mean it. Stop Ignoring me. (now) 8:12 pm
You sigh, scrolling through your messages sadly. "Am I being too hard on him?" Jimin leans over to look at the messages, his face turning sour at Daehyun's messages. "I bet you he doesn't even know what he's apologizing for."
The elevator doors close, and Jimin presses the star symbol for the nightclub on the first floor where you would meet the others.
Shaking your head repeatedly, "No. That's impossible. He knows, Jimin. Trust me." He doesn't seem convinced in the slightest,
"Okay. Since you're so sure-" He snatched your phone from your grasp, his fingers moving at the speed of light and you panicked, reaching for the device but he held it high. "Jimin No-!"
"I said 'What are you apologizing for'. I won't send it if you don't want me to. But It seems like he's only apologizing because he knows he's in the wrong, but doesn't know what for."
The elevator dings, going down floor by floor, the silence slowly creeping up on you, "Send it." You say, and his thumb hits send.
The doors open.
You and Jimin step out into the club. Before you sprawled a vast expanse of vibrant colours. Neon lights adorned the walls, casting a kaleidoscope of hues that danced in rhythm with the music.
The dance floor, surrounded by elevated platforms and VIP booths, was the epicentre of the vibrant spectacle. Mirrored ceilings multiplied the dazzling display, creating a sense of endless sin.
"Do you know where they are?" You ask while Jimin leads the way into the crowd of hot bodies and blasting music, he glances down to the text from Tae, "Tae said they're in section 9." Maneuvering your way through the swarm of people until you meet up with the others.
Jimin walked up the steps first, the group's cheers blending in with the roars coursing throughout the rest of the club as he joined them with you closely behind, the cheers continuing for you with whistles once you reached the platform.
"Oh shit!" Sunny curses, rushing to your side to shower you with compliments. "I guess being 30 minutes late pays off, you look great." Tae welcomes you with a side hug and an invitation to sit beside him.
"You need to cool it." Jin pulls Jungkook in by the collar so that he could hear him over the music. Jungkook finally pulls his hungry gaze off of you and looks to his elder.
"You're making it way obvious, and obvious is not what you want. She has a boyfriend. There are hundreds of other girls here, find someone else." He lets him go and Jungkook shakes his head.
How Jin even found out that you had a boyfriend didn't phase him. The seven of them were as close as brothers, it was hard for him and Jimin to keep anything to themselves.
Hundreds of girls but they weren't you. He couldn't just switch it on and off. This wasn't as fun and playful as it once was before, he was starting to get addicted to the thought of you.
"You have any pre-rolls on you?" Jungkook leans over to Namjoon who was deep into a conversation with Sunny. Namjoon reaches inside the pocket of his blazer, "Never leave home without them."
"Great. I need a smoke." Jungkook huffs, standing, purposefully avoiding your gaze. God you looked so fucking fine in that dress, it made him crazy, sick to his stomach.
He's Jeon Jungkook for god's sake.
The concept of want is so unfamiliar to him. Any girl he wants could easily be in his bed the same day, but you-- he shakes his head bitterly-- you were giving him a hard time, all over what? some lame-ass boyfriend.
"Namjoon you comin' ?" He looks over his shoulder to see both him and Sunny standing, "Mind if I join?" She asks, "The more the merrier."
You watched as the three of them disappeared into the bustling crowd vanishing out of sight. "Where did they go?"
Tae leans forward looking at where the trio had just walked through. "Probably went to go ball up." Tae shrugs, "Which means it's time to really get this night started. First round on me."
It wasn't until three shots later when Jungkook had finally come back, this was the first time you really got a good look at him. He was wearing nothing but a black jacket that had the most delicate body chains striping across his abdomen, giving you a clear view of his sculpted abs and-
Your phone buzzes.
 You: Why are you apologizing? 8:13 pm
 Daehyun: Because you're upset. (now) 9:27 pm
God, Jimin might be right. He doesn't have a clue.
 You: Do you even know why I'm mad? 9:27 pm
 Daehyun: Is it because of the nudes I sent Soo-Min? I was drunk, I promise. It was a mistake. 9:28 pm
You gasp. You had no idea what he was talking about. You were referring to him standing you up when you told all your family that he would be coming. You never knew this had even happened.
 You: What the fuck are you talking about? 9:29 pm
 You: I cannot believe you right now. 9:29 pm
 You: Stop fucking texting me. 9:30 pm
You weren't even sad or disappointed. You were used to him letting you down constantly. "Looks like you need another shot." You look up from the screen in your lap, making eye contact with ringed fingers wrapped around a shot glass with your name on it.
You take the shot in your own grasp, looking Jungkook in the eyes as you down it. Your face wincing a little at the burn in the back of your throat but you were beginning to feel that exciting warmth in your chest.
The strobe lights turn red as Chris Brown's Take You Down begins to play through the loud speakers all around the club. "Wanna dance?" He offered you his hand, your brain was a little hazy and your cheeks were flushed but Jungkook was too hot to resist.
"Love to."
The two of you walk off to the dance floor with the rest of the crowd.
Taehyung looks to Jin who looks to Hoseok who looks to Yoongi.
Yoongi sighs, shaking his head slowly taking another shot. "It's out of my control. Once they step on that floor, their fate is sealed."
It's true, the moment Jungkook's hands were on your hips that swayed to the music you knew you were screwed. You had every right to be apprehensive about going on this stupid trip in the first place, but deep down you knew it was inevitable.
This very moment was destined from the start.
"You look fucking perfect tonight." He whispers in your ear from behind you, subconsciously pushing your hips back on him and Jungkook could swear he's never wanted someone as badly as he wanted you at this very moment.
"Says you," You spin in his hold, now face to face.
His grip on your hips tighten, body unable to maintain its façade for much longer. Your hair was up in a bun tonight, showing off the industrial piercing he never even knew you had.
There were so many things he wanted to know about you, and not just physically. He wanted to be able to sit with you over a cup of coffee and talk about everything and anything.
His tight hold on you prompted a breathless whine to escape your lips but he heard it. "Stop it." He says and your eyebrows scrunch, genuinely confused. "Stop what?"
"Stop tempting me. I'm trying to be respectful." Astonishment wipes over your features. "You're telling me to stop? It's been you all along, making me trip over my words, and being so shirtless and hot all the time, making me forget I have a boyfriend." He chuckles.
"So you admit it. You think about me too?"
You step back.
"Yes, Jungkook. I cannot stop thinking about you and that's my problem. I need to get you out of my head." Your mouth was saying one thing, but with the way he was looking at you, your heart wanted him between your legs.
The almost forgotten feeling of lust finally coursed through your veins. It'd been so long since you'd gotten any action, you needed this.
But you couldn't.
He steps towards you, even closer than before. You could feel his firm body crowding against your own. The way he towered over you made you feel dizzy. He leaned down, ensuring that you could feel his warm breath on the shell of your ear when he spoke "Tell me you don't want me and I'll walk away."
You don't want him. you lie to yourself.
Trying to put these thoughts into words, your mouth opens.
"I need you, Jungkook." Finally admitting it.
There was no going back now, his lips crashed against yours with nothing less than an animalistic desire. It was fast-paced and messy but you loved it.
The dam finally broke.
You kissed with more than your lips, his hands on your waist, squeezing tight as he rolled his hips into you with the rhythm of the music.
This was so so wrong, but it felt so right.
The way his tongue rolled over your bottom lip with such skill made your thighs clench, you could only imagine the things he could do with it--
"Y/n!" Sunny screams your name from behind you, not even processing what you and Jungkook had just been doing while Namjoon was busy enjoying the music behind her.
You turned around, a little breathless and bothered after being disrupted but you were immediately occupied with analyzing Sunny's appearance. For starters her hair was ruffled and looked like it'd been put through the wringer, her lipstick (what was left of it) was fading and a little smudged.
And last that you checked she was wearing lashes when the night began but they were nowhere to be found. "Sunny where did you go-- Oh my god- Did you and Namjoon-" Her non-stop nodding causes you to clasp your hand over your mouth.
"It's him! He remembers me!" The two of you have your moment, squealing before Jungkook whispers in your ear. "Meet me at the elevator in 5." Sunny actually does catch on this time.
"Oh my god!? Are you gonna-"
You think about it, "I don't know!! Should I?! Daehyun just voluntarily admitted to sending nudes to Soo-Min god knows when and-" Sunny groans. "Leave him, for the love of god y/n stand up!" She yells.
"I can't just leave him he's my boyfriend, and it wouldn't make me any better than him." Sunny's eyes roll. "It won't be cheating if you plan on breaking up with his ass tonight. Just hurry up and decide, Jungkook's waiting for you." She winks and it gives you butterflies.
He was waiting for you.
The moment you turned the corner of the hallway, you saw Jungkook waiting outside the elevator as he said he would be, finally pressing the button. "I was afraid you wouldn't come," he laughs internally to himself at the double entendre, knowing Jungkook's track record, this has never been an issue for him.
The two of you step inside the elevator, it would be a long ride up to the 21st floor, the two of you did your best to stay to your respective sides of the elevator until there was a crowd of people that entered as well, pushing you into him.
Completely oblivious to the way your ass was pressed flush against his crotch, he looks up to the ceiling, wondering what he'd done in his past life to deserve this kind of punishment.
A beautiful girl pressed up against him but he couldn't do anything. As the crowd moved, so did you he hisses and your body stills, finally aware of what you were doing.
On the 13th floor the elevator empties completely, leaving just the two of you and you try to move away from him but his grip holds you in place. "Didn't think you'd be running from me so soon." You'd never heard his voice like this. It was deeper, bass full of wants and desires,
He spins you around, he had you cornered.
Looking up to him with that doe gaze of yours. His index finger gently rests under your chin, your gaze was practically begging him to kiss you, but in case he was hesitating you nodded just a little, permitting him to open your lips with his.
This kiss was a lot slower and deeper than the one before. It was soft and sweet, but slowly turned into a full-blown make-out session by the time the elevator made it to the 21st floor.
He leads the way to his room at the end of the hall, beside Hoseok's room.
Jungkook worked on unlocking the door while you chewed on the tip of your acrylic. Were you really about to do this?
"I'm going in my room, and you don't have to follow, but I'm leaving the door unlocked." He says, disappearing behind the door. Looking over your shoulder, your room was 4 doors down.
You could still back out now, it wasn't too late.
All you would need to do is have a long talk with Daehyun.
You scoff, even his name irritated you. Your heart knew things weren't going to work out between the two of you once you got back home, regardless of whether you slept with Jungkook or not.
He's broken your trust far too many times, and besides, Sunny was right, he is an asshole.
You walk into Jungkook's room and make sure to lock the door behind you.
"That's my girl," He purrs as he steps towards you, taking your face in his hands before gracing you with a heated kiss, the kind of kiss that made you stumble as he walked you back to the door.
"Hope you put that phone on dnd." He whispers, kissing down your neck, skillfully managing to take your hair down at the same time. You looked like the epitome of sin, hair falling over your shoulders as if it fell from grace while your neck was littered with hickeys, your plump bottom lip tugged between those perfect teeth of yours.
Your dress was the first thing to go, he loved it on you, but it served its purpose, and it did it well. Soon his jacket was finally off revealing his muscular build that you'd seen in the fan cams but it couldn't compare to the real thing.
You kissed him back desperately as your legs were wrapped around his waist while he made his way to the bed, dropping you down to your back watching the way you bounced.
Your perfect tits are the first victim of his passionate affection. Leaving tender kisses on the soft flesh, "Jungkook-" you gasp feeling him wrap his lips around your nipples, tongue working hard to push you towards that edge that you'd been inching closer to since you got in here.
He groans as he feels your hands roam over his back, anticipating the feeling of your nails scratching his skin. Finally moving down from your breasts once they were covered with his kisses and hickeys.
You could feel yourself practically soaking through your under, not to mention the way it was sticking to you. "Looks like someone's worked up," he teases, slowly peeling you out of your ruined underwear.
"What's got you so hot and bothered, is it your boyfriend?" You sit up so fast almost getting a head rush and he laughs. "Jungkook." You say and he gives you a look of lust. "What? Say it baby, use your words. Tell me who makes you this wet. Is it me or him?"
You press your legs together, unable to believe that this was turning you on more. "He couldn't turn me on." He looks up to you with wide eyes. "Is that so?" Nodding your head slowly, letting Jungkook gently push you back down to the bed.
On his knees he takes a deep breath at your core, a guttural sound rumbling in his chest as he was face to face with your dripping core. "So you're saying it's me?" he asks, letting his tongue run a flat stripe against your soaked folds.
"YES! It's you Jungkook please, stop teasing, please I can't take it. I'm already so close." You beg, body thrashing around enough for him to pin your legs over his shoulder and to keep you still.
You were stroking his ego, telling you you were already so close and he's barely touched you. Your boyfriend must've been shit in bed, and he was determined to make it up to you. He was going to show you what you've been missing.
Finally eating you out to his heart's content, ignoring the way your feet continued to move frantically over his shoulders he lapped up at your core, flicking his tongue over your clit until your body spasmed uncontrollably. "I'm-" Unable to even finish the sentence before you were blinded by an earth-shattering orgasm.
It ripped through you like a storm and came squirting out of you just like one too. "You've got to fucking kidding me," Jungkook murmurs to himself and you froze. Was he mad?
He stands up, "Of course the hottest girl I've ever seen squirts on my tongue. Good fucking hell, Y/n. It's like you want me obsessed with you." Who was he kidding, he was already obsessed.
He picked you up so carelessly, bringing you to the balcony where it overlooked the Las Vegas strip. You could see the hotel's illuminated pool and all the car lights as they zoomed on the highway far in the distance.
"Hope you're not scared of heights."
Your stomach twisted at the thought of being so high up, but it was all forgotten once your leg was propped up and you felt your folds being prodded open by the fat head of Jungkook's cock.
"No- fuck! Wait." you cursed feeling him push in just the tip, the sweet burn of his size nearly causing you to fall but he held you steady against the railing, bulging biceps on either side of your body, caging you in safely.
Jungkook knew better, this should be the last place he should be doing something like this but with your pretty ass right in front of him it was such a beautiful sight, and the scenery was cool too.
"It's too much," you pant, arms bracing yourself on the fence that kept you from falling 200 feet below. "It's only the tip baby, you sure you can take the whole thing?" You pause in thought, you needed him, all of him. "I can take it. keep going." You say and he pushes in slowly, feeling his cock fill up every nook and cranny of your womb.
It felt like he was in your lungs, you were knocked breathless, and he didn't move. Your body went limp in his arms, exactly what he feared would happen. He quite literally split you open, but you were determined to take it.
You clawed at the railing desperately, looking for any kind of relief from what you were feeling. "Deep breaths baby, I'll go slow." You nod, eyes squeezed shut as his hips slowly roll back pulling out about halfway before rocking back in.
"Oo-oh. fuck. Jungkook, keep going." you moan, head falling onto your hands; feeling what was once pain morphs into an addicting, sweet pleasure, over time his pace picks up until he was fucking into you with no remorse.
Even if no one could see you from this high up, they sure as hell could hear you. The way you cried out his name like a prayer over and over while Jungkook's brain was short-circuiting with the sight of you creaming on his dick and the obscene sounds it created.
"Does your boyfriend fuck you like this, huh?" He angles his hips, resuming his brutal pace even though you've already come twice now. Your body jolts with each snap of his hips.
You shake your head, but that isn't enough for him, flipping you around so that you're facing him, he pushes himself back in, your eyes fluttering shut almost immediately.
"Use your words Y/n. You're my smart girl, look me in the eyes and tell me that your boyfriend could never fuck you like I do." Your eyes snap open, "He c-could never fuck-!" Jungkook slowed down his thrusts to something so much deeper, your eyes rolled and Jungkook nearly came just at the sight.
"Shit, I'm gonna come." He pants, and with a few more erratic thrusts you feel his warm cum fill you up. He slowly lets you stand but your legs fail you immediately. Scooping you up in his arms effortlessly he brings you to the bed, clearly not done with you.
That's how you found yourself on the brink of your third orgasm while Jungkook plowed into you from behind, obsessed with how his cum seeped out of you and around his cock.
Your arms had given out long ago hence why your cheek was smushed into the sheets of the bed while you whimpered like a whore. "God you should look at yourself," He laughs almost maniacally from behind you.
Feeling himself approach his climax, "Jungkook- please!" you cried out, the friction only adding to the stimulation, "m' gonna-" you try to get back up on your arms but you couldn't move.
"I wonder what your boyfriend would say if he saw you like this,'' A wicked smile spreads across his lips as he reaches for your phone that was forgotten somewhere on the bed, hitting record.
Pulling you up onto your arms, tugging your hair by a makeshift ponytail, the flash highlights the various bruises all over your body left by yours truly. The audio was picking up his soft groans and your pathetic whimpers, and if the room was quiet enough you could probably hear the welt squelch of your cunt sucking in his length with each push.
"Shit, shit, shit!" You cry out, coming once more and your body goes limp, Jungkook ends the recording and tosses the phone to the side while he chases his own high finishing soon after you.
He pulls out slowly, "Y/n, baby? Are you with me?" He taps your cheek gently, and your eyes barely open, "I think you fucked the soul out of me," He dares to flash you a nervous smile as if he hadn't just fucked you dumb.
"Come, let's get you cleaned up."
-
"That was one hell of a trip." You mumble to Sunny on the phone as you wheel your suitcase down the hall to the door of your apartment where there was a big bouquet of flowers.
"Oh my god," You say, crouching down, wincing a little as you did to read the card. "What?" Sunny asks and you explain what you were seeing.
"Do you think they're from Daehyun?" You scoff, "Fat chance."
You open the envelope to read the card aloud,
'To the hottest girl. We should get donuts sometime, I heard you like them cream-filled ;) Text me sometime xxx-xxx-xxx. -J.K'
Sunny squealed in your ear.
"I'll call you back." You say, dialling Jungkook's number.
"Hello?" He answers.
"You got me flowers?" You couldn't stop the smile from spreading across your face, and he could hear it. He closed his fridge and leaned on the counter, "You like 'em?"
Holding the vase in your hand you take a deep sniff, "I love them."
He shakes his head. "This is so sad. You're too easy to impress. Let me treat you better than that jerk, Y/n." Your mouth falls open-
"How- What?"
"Jimin mentioned the details to me but don't get mad at him; it doesn't change the fact that the guy is an asshole." You sigh.
"I know."
"So?" Jungkook starts, waiting for you to say something.
"I think you mentioned something about cream-filled donuts. When and where?"
He smiles.

Even Mean Girls Cry // Regina George
Summary: After hooking up with Regina for a year, you finally get to see her vulnerable side after The Plastics reject her at lunch.
Possible warnings: light swearing, bullying, and Regina being Regina
Pairing: Regina George x gender!neutral reader (readers gender literally isnât mentioned)
A/n: first fic of 2024!! I love ReneĂŠâs Regina so feel free to send me any ideas or thoughts about her
Regina George wasnât a good person. It was evident ever since the first grade when she told everyone that Peter Howell peed himself after she spilled apple juice on him. So, you did your best to avoid her, and her ever changing minions, every day as you grew up. When you reached high school, Reginaâs antics became more frequent and hurtful. By the end of your freshman year, she had at least one embarrassing piece of information on everyone in school, yourself included.Â
Your streak of successfully avoiding Regina came to an end after winter break during your sophomore year. Ms. Norbury asked you to be Reginaâs Intermediate Math tutor since you had the highest grades in your Algebra 2 class. You were hesitant to accept the opportunity considering Reginaâs reputation, but you knew tutoring would look great on your college application. You accepted Ms. Norburyâs request and so started your relationship with Regina George.Â
At first, she sat across from you in the empty cafeteria after school, chomping loudly on her gum and texting a thousand words a minute. Her behavior continued every day that week and by Friday, youâd had enough.Â
âRegina, stop wasting my time and pay attention.â You finally snapped after she blew an obnoxiously large pink bubble with her gum. Reginaâs eyes slowly rose from her phone screen to you.Â
âWhat did you just say to me?â Her eyes resting on you instantly made you lose the confidence you just had.Â
âOh-IâŚI meant you should pay attention. Iâm trying to teach you, so you donât fail your next algebra test.â You smiled nervously as Reginaâs gaze dug further into you. After a few more moments of intense staring, the blonde let out a scoff.Â
âYou know, youâre actually kind of cute.â Her blue eyes looked you over, this time in a more flirtatious way. You felt like a lamb dangling over a hungry mountain lion.Â
âThanks.â You nervously looked away and rubbed the back of your neck in an attempt to get any relief from Reginaâs presence.Â
âSo, you agree? You think youâre cute.âÂ
âUmmâŚI mean, I donât really know.â Reginaâs smile softened and she looked at you as if you were a lost puppy. Without warning, the blonde stood up and made her way to your side of the table. She sat down in the seat beside you and scooted as close as she possibly could, causing your face to warm and your heart to beat faster.Â
âHave you ever kissed anyone, Y/n?â Regina questioned with her pointer and middle finger dancing on your thigh. Your throat went dry at the mention of the one thing you were embarrassed of. In a school full of hormonal teenagers, you were truly the only one who hadnât kissed anyone yet. You were kicking yourself for accidentally telling Karen the sensitive information during a bonfire last year.Â
âYou know the answer, Regina.â You said with a defeated exhale. You couldnât bring yourself to look at Regina, instead, you kept your eyes glued to the table. Suddenly, the two fingers that danced on your thigh were placed gently under your chin, forcing you to look at the blonde beside you. Her eyes were kinder, and her smile was still soft, making you feel less embarrassed.Â
âItâs okay, you donât need to be embarrassed.â You didnât say anything, instead, you softly smiled and took in Reginaâs features. You had never noticed how pretty her eyes were or how full her lips were.Â
âDo you want to kiss me, Y/n?â Reginaâs eyebrows lifted with the question. Without even thinking, you blurted out the answer.Â
âYes.â You swore for a moment Regina began to blush as she pushed a few stray hairs away from her face.Â
âOkay. Close your eyes.âÂ
You did as you were told. For a moment, you were worried it was all just a prank, but when you felt Reginaâs lips press against yours, you knew it had to be real. You did your best to reciprocate the kiss, causing Regina to let out a small moan, which caused your stomach to flip about ten times. Suddenly, you felt Reginaâs hands find your neck and her perfectly manicured nails rested on the nape of your neck, effectively pulling you in deeper.Â
The sound of a door slamming shut caused both of you to pull away quickly. You couldnât help but stare at Regina with a bewildered look, seriously questioning if the kiss happened.Â
âWow, you're a pretty good kisser, Nerd.âÂ
âT-Thanks. Youâre good too.â You sputtered with the most nervous tone you had ever heard from yourself. The blonde laughed before running her fingers along the edge of her lips to wipe away any smeared lip gloss.Â
âI know.â The two of you sat in silence for what felt like hours before Regina spoke up.Â
âSo, Iâll see you on Monday then.â She quickly stood up and gathered her things as if nothing had happened.Â
âIâll see you on Monday.â You echoed, wiping Reginaâs cherry flavored lip gloss off your lips.Â
âBye, Nerd.âÂ
âBye, Regina.âÂ
Almost a full year later and your hookups with Regina were still going strong. In fact, ever since Cady Heron started causing drama between the girls, you had been spending all of eighth period in the back seat of Reginaâs Jeep, making out like it was your last moments on earth. Not to mention, secretly hooking up with the queen bee of North Shore gave you a major confidence boost that even Regina noticed. Your relationship had even gone to the next level: texting each other about things that didnât involve when and where to hookup.Â
You were sitting in Trigonometry when your phone pinged. You quickly checked it, not wanting to risk Ms. Norbury confiscating it. It wasnât much of a surprise to see that Regina had texted you.Â
RG: Sweatpants are the only things that fit me right nowÂ
Y/n: So?Â
RG: So? Jesus Y/n. I canât wear sweatpants to lunch!Â
Y/n: Because of the stupid rules YOU made?
RG: They arenât stupidÂ
Y/n: Iâm sure itâll be fine. The girls will understandÂ
âY/n, care to share with that class what on your phone is so important that youâre missing out on practice test questions?âÂ
âNo. Sorry, Ms. Norbury. It wonât happen again.âÂ
âGood. Now, as I was sayingâŚâ You watched Ms. Norbury turn to write something on the board and quickly sent another text to Regina.Â
Y/n: Just got called out by Norbury for texting you. Hope youâre happyÂ
You went the rest of class without hearing from Regina. In fact, you went most of the day without hearing from her. It was a little weird, but you knew she had a lot going on and it wasnât like you needed constant communication with each other.Â
When lunch came around, it was the same old same old. You sat down with some of your other tutor friends and talked about your day. As Daisy Smith talked about her failed attempt to teach Karen about fractions, you saw Regina walk towards The Plastics. True to her word, she wore gray sweatpants that grabbed your, and several others, attention. You didnât eye Regina for long, not wanting anyone to accuse you of being a creep or being in love with her. You looked down at your lunch only for the room to suddenly go quiet.Â
âYou canât sit with us!â Gretchenâs voice echoed through the silent room. No one dared to even gasp as Regina fired back.Â
âSweatpants are all that fit me right now.â Even though you couldnât see her face, you could tell Regina was talking through gritted teeth.Â
âWhat do you think, Cady?â Gretchen asked, her voice once again echoing through the room.Â
âSorry, Regina. Rules are rules.â Seeing the sly look on Cadyâs face made you want to march over to her and smash a tray of food in her face. You knew that would lead to a suspension, so you made a mental note to figure out some way to get back at Cady that wouldnât result in a week off school.
âFine.âÂ
Regina turned around to see every eye in that room on her. You could tell by the look on her face that for once, she hated the attention. Not a single person in that room moved to make room for Regina as she walked down the aisle.Â
âDaisy, scoot down.â You quickly nudged the redhead to make room for Regina.
âRegina, you can sit with us.â You offered, eyes slightly full of hope that she would accept the offer and somehow make the situation better.
âIâm not sitting with you losers.â She spat out as she stormed past your table.Â
âWhat a bitch.â Glenn Coco scoffed. Your blood boiled at Glennâs comment, but you knew you had to play it cool to avoid any suspicion.Â
âGuys, I forgot my math book in Ms. Norburyâs. Iâm going to grab it really quick.âÂ
You quickly got up from the table, leaving your tray behind, and stormed off to find Regina. You searched her usual hangout spots, the maintenance room and the girlâs locker room in the gym. When you didnât find her in either place, you made your way to the only other place she could be, the parking lot.
Sure enough, as you approached her Jeep, you saw Regina sitting in the passenger seat. Even from far away, you could tell she was crying. Cautiously, you approached the car and tapped on her window. The blondeâs head instantly shot up, revealing her red eyes and mascara stained cheeks. You had never seen Regina cry before, and the sight actually shocked you to your core. Without saying a word, you walked over to the driverâs side and climbed in.Â
âWhat are you doing?â Regina questioned through sniffles as you put the car in reverse and pulled out of the parking spot.Â
âIâm taking you home.â Your hands gripped the steering wheel a little tighter when you noticed a picture of Regina, Karen, and Gretchen resting on her dashboard as you drove out of the parking lot.Â
âI donât need you to take me home.â Regina tried to use her usual venomous tone, but it came out shaky and pitiful.Â
âI donât care if you need me to. I want to take you home. That was fucking ridiculous.âÂ
After a few minutes of silence, you looked over to see tears still rolling down Reginaâs face. Based on how her bottom lip was quivering, you knew Regina really needed to cry. You carefully reached your right hand over to Regina and grabbed her hand.Â
âItâs okay to cry. They tried to humiliate you in front of the whole school. You donât have to hide it from me.â You squeezed Reginaâs hand, which caused her to quickly pull her hand away.Â
âI am not crying because of those bitches. Iâm crying because all I can wear is sweatpants and my mascara is ruined.â That time Regina was able to spit out her usual venom. While her tone would intimidate most people, it let you know Regina was going to be okay.Â
âThose are still valid reasons to cry.â You said matter-of-factly. You felt Reginaâs eyes land on you again, causing you to glance over at her.Â
âWhy are you so nice to me all the time?âÂ
âBecause Iâm a nice person.â You shrugged, not wanting to give away your true feelings for Regina.Â
âI think itâs because you like me.âÂ
âAnd what if I did?â You replied without missing a beat. Once again, you were kicking yourself for not thinking before you spoke.Â
âIâd have to give you a makeover. I canât date anyone who dresses like that.âÂ
âWhatâs wrong with the way I dress?âÂ
âNothing, if youâre going for a grocery store clerk.â You scoffed and acted offended by Reginaâs words, which made the blonde crack a smile.Â
âI do not dress like a grocery store clerk.âÂ
You both chuckled as you pulled up to the George's home. You instantly took note that Mrs. Georgeâs car was missing from the driveway.Â
âDo you want to come in? My mom isnât home.â Regina looked at you with hopeful eyes. Not wanting to leave Regina alone after a traumatic event, you decided that it would be a good idea for you to stick around for a little while longer.
âYeah, Iâll come in for a little bit.âÂ
You turned off the car and let Regina take the lead into her home. The second the front door closed behind you, Regina took your hand and led you up to her room.Â
âShoes off and get on the bed.â The blonde commanded.
âRegina, I donât think we should-â
âRelax, Nerd. I just want you to hold me and tell me Iâm pretty.âÂ
You quickly kicked your shoes off and lied down on the right side of the bed. Once you were comfortable, Regina joined you. Within seconds, her head found a comfortable spot on your chest, resting between your jaw and collarbone. Her hand found its way down to your stomach and balled the fabric of your shirt into her hand. After Regina was comfortable, you snaked your arm around her and held her close. You couldnât help but look down at the blonde with a smile. When she wasnât ruining peopleâs lives, Regina was actually kind of sweet.Â
âHey, Regina?â
âWhat, Nerd?âÂ
âYouâre the most beautiful girl Iâve ever seen.âÂ
âYeah, I know.â You could feel Reginaâs smirk against your neck, which only made you fall a little harder for her.
You laid there, holding the blonde like your life depended on it. Your mind couldnât help but wonder about finally telling Regina how you felt about her. It seemed like a good idea, especially after a hard day, but the thought of losing her stopped you. So, you just let Regina George, the meanest girl in North Shore, sleep on your chest while you held her close.Â

Warnings: none
You and Ben had been friends since you could remember. You had always relied on and been there for one another. There wasnât a world that you could imagine yourself without him in.
Many people confused you as a couple hearing comments like âyouâre so cute together!â Or âhow long have you two been together?â. You would always be first to deny it, Ben never really saying much. It never changed your relationship with Ben though. You assumed people thought you were a couple because of your close nature, you could admit it was like you were attached at the hip. You always had your hands on the other, always touching in some sort of way. It was natural to you and you never interpreted it in any other way because you and Ben had always been like this together, even though if you were honest with yourself you did want it to be more but you knew Ben never saw you like that.
It was a normal day, you and Ben lounging together in the gardens of Auradon. You had your head in his lap as you both relaxed for the afternoon. Ben was in his own world reading a book while you daydreamed, your mind wondering to different thoughts with some being about Ben. You wondered what life would be like if you were dating but it made your heart ache so you made yourself focus on something else. You looked around the gardens but you were only faced with multiple couples being wrapped up in each other. It was like they were in their own bubbles of love, completely absorbed in the other as though nothing else existed. It weighed on you and your emotions ran high. You needed to be away from Ben before you did something that would ruin your friendship, you quickly stood up and excused yourself from Ben making some excuse you canât even remember before nearly running to your room. Ben was left in a state of shock as he didnât know why you left so suddenly.
While you were in your room trying to fight your emotions for Ben off you didnât realise Ben was trying to get rid of his for you aswell. Ben had been trying to show his feelings for you for a while now. He had tried many ways without actually saying the words, this included gifting you many things that a boyfriend would only do (flowers, jewellery, soft toys, you name it), he would always be showing you love through his touch (he would run his fingers through your hair, make the hug last over the friendly amount and would even cuddle you on the sofa -sometimes in bed!) and he would always want to be in your presence yet you never caught on. It seemed as though all your friends and strangers saw the love he had for you but you couldnât or this was your way of telling him you werenât interested. He thought over all your interactions and instead of focusing on the lovesick glances you shared or the subtle touches his doubtful mind focused on how you always corrected strangers when they mistook you as a couple and how you would always get irritated if your friends teased you with the idea of Ben. He focused on the very small details and his mind had decided that you werenât interested. He shouldnât confess to you because you showed that you werenât interest in him and that he should back off, so he did. The next day when he joined your conversation with your friends instead of putting his arm round your waist like usual, he just stood next to you. His arm longed to be around you but he had to take your feelings into consideration.
When you got back to your room after a day of school you were left confused and unhappy. Ben had been off with you today, heâd been so distant. You sulked in your room til after dinner, refusing to come when your roommates, Evie and mal told you that you should eat. It had gone dark outside and you were staring out at the sky hoping a shooting star would go by so you could wish for Ben to come back to you.
Mal and Evie quietly came back in and decided to confront you about your unhappiness. You couldnât hold your feelings in anymore and finally confessed how you liked Ben but you didnât want to ruin your friendship. You told them how Ben had been distant all day and all they did was turn to look at each other before lightly laughing. You frowned even deeper âthis isnât funny, i like Ben and donât want to loose himâ. They stopped laughing but still wore a smile when they explained Ben had feelings for you and he had distanced himself because he thought you werenât interested. Your thoughts spiralled and your heart raced. Ben couldnât like you. Could he? You thought back on everything and it al clicked into place. You finally figured out what that small shine was in his eyes when he looked at you, the shine that everyone saw and thought you were a couple because of. You stood up, your thoughts were jambled and nothing was coming out straight but you knew one thing. You wanted to see Ben. You ran out the door into the night forgetting everything, even your shoes, you just had to find Ben. Before the door shut a shout of âgo get your man!â Was heard from either mal or Evie, you werenât sure and your mind was to busy to figure it out.
You arrived quite could outside bens dorm room. You took a breath everything happening in slow motion as you moved your hand to knock on his door. It swung open to reveal a solemn Ben.
He looked the most confused youâve ever seen him. You went to talk but realised you hadnât planned what to say to him when you finally saw him and nothing came out of your mouth, your mind still racing. Feeling impulsive at lack of better judgement with your adrenaline at an all time high you longed forward and captured his lips in a kiss. He was quite shocked before kissing back, eventually moving so that one of his hands was on your hip and the other holding your neck, his fingers just tangling in your hair. The kiss grew more passionate before abruptly breaking so that you could breathe. You both stood on bens doorstep staring at each other, knowing exactly how you felt about each other for once.
Thank you for reading!!

Guys I think Aeon got to Troy before Blink did. Think about it.
When Troy fell down the trash hole he immediately went unconscious. When Blink found him he was not unconscious. In fact, he was wandering around like he hadn't been for a while. He was pointedly described as roughed and dirtied and beat up, like he'dbeen wandering around getting into trouble.
Also the things Troy says "your my only ticket outa here" to which Blink respinds "why me?" And then troy says "I dunno, I'm not supposed to tell you" and then there's also the red flag of "no one's vhasing you, no one's using fir any ulterior motivation" which are the obvious ones, but I noticed some other more subtle ones.
"All I know is I fell down this freaken' hole, I woke in this wacky situation with all these cooky characters" he says this right before saying Blink is the only one who can help him. Why do I point this out? Because what "wacky characters" has he met besides Blink? He was unconscious, and then wandering around confused, Blink should be the first person that he's talking to. Who else did he talk to for that to be a description of his situation?
He also says "you have gotta run with me, if you wanna make it down here" when he just meets Blink. No hi hello, not even names yet. At this point Troy still thinks it's a convention. Currently, he's chased after Blink for seemingly no reason after proclaiming "you!" It very much seems like he's repeating something someone said to him in an effort to get Blink to trust him.
Lastly is the picture that was accidentally posted to patreon by the jrwi crew. It was in a post that was basically all the images from the first episode, but they accidentally included one from a future episode. The image is Troy sitting on a chair looking kinda nervous or indecisive while the rest of the picture is just darkness. Charlie has said that Troy gets worse during the campaign and also commits war crimes(?)
Here's what I think happened between Troy falling and Blink meeting him. I think the bear guy finds Troy, is like "wtf?" Gets a vixen over, they obviously recognize an uplander, so they fetch Aeon. Troy is a fucking dumbass and she decides she could use that to her advantage. She tells Troy that Blink, the owl man can help him get out, and she'll also help, so long as he reports Blink's actions to her. And maybe also brings Blink up to the surface with him (where he obviously won't come back from).
That's my theory, Troy unknowing villain arc. But idk, maybe I'm doing Troy Math wrong.
#jrwi#jrwi show#jrwi wonderlust#jrwi troy#jrwi blink#jrwi runt#jrwi troy lougferd#troy lougferd#just roll with it wonderlust#just roll with it#but hey#thats just a theory#a JRWI THEORY#jrwi aeon

âPrincess Helaena?â You entered looking at her. She looked up, putting one of her twins down. It still freaked you out that they were born out of sibling incest. âI haveâŚbrought a gift and a proposition.â You spoke quietly as you entered the room looking at the twins.Â
You bowed and sat before her while she looked at you with a tilted head and wide eyes. It almost hurt to look at her. She wasnât too far off from your age yet she held such wide child-like eyes. A child with two children. However, Helena was⌠breathtakingly beautiful. Of course, all Targeyens were as you quickly came to learn. Even the ones you didnât like were beautiful. Though you donât think anyone could hold a candle to the woman in front of you. You shook your head when you realized you were staring for a little too long at her.Â
âSorry. I have bought treats for your children and you, along with a gift that I thought you might enjoy.â You cleared your throat and had the snacks brought in. You smiled at your latest creations. While solving the genetics problem, you figured you needed brain food. Though your version of brain food included what was on the platters they had brought in.Â
Potato chips, french fries, and popcorn! After nearly three weeks of starving yourself of junk food, you were feigning for something.Â
âWhat are those?â Helaena asked. You picked up a crisp and bit down on it and it let out a crunch.Â
âPotatoes with salt. This one too.â You picked up a fry and ate it. âAnd this is corn, but it is popped. I call it popcorn! It also pops when cooked. Try them, I think your children might like them more than you and I.âÂ
You watched Helaena eat one and smile as she chewed and you nodded knowingly. It wasnât long before she called the twins over and they too began eating the treats. As Jaehaera and Jaehaerys took off with the plate you brought out something wrapped in a napkin. âI made this for you. I was told you liked sweets?â
She nodded and looked curiously at the cloth. Should it be anything like what you had her taste she was looking forward to this. She watched you unwrap the cloth, and there was a golden brown circular thing sprinkled with what looked like sugar. In the middle was something purple and it was glossy. She took it and smelled it before taking a bite. It was soft and the filling tasted like plums. Once more she smiled and you nodded knowingly again.Â
âSo uh,â You grin toward Helaena. âI hear you like dragon riding.â
âŚÂ
âOh manâŚ.â You grimaced looking down at the paper.Â

JV: Âź LV: Âź JOV: Âź = 1.56%
1.56% chance of having present phenotypes.Â
You redid the math twice before finally moving on to the assumed father who would have dark hair and dark eyes. Keeping the assumed possibilitiesâŚit skyrockets, seventy-five perfect that one child is born with dark hair and dark eyes.Â
ž * ž * ž = 27/64 â 42.2%Â
42.2% chance of having present phenotypes.Â
You took a deep breath as you cradled your face in your hands, double-checking the math in your head. There was no mistaking it. Officially and deemed by science. Jacaerys Valeyron, Lucerys Valeryon, and Joffery Valeyron were bastards.Â
It was visible to anyone to see their parentage, but now here it was in numbers further damaging them. Were you wrong? No. You had checked the math dozens of times. Your math wasnât wrong, but were you wrong? Wrong for doing this? Was it right? You only did what was asked of you. You suggested it. You were wrong. Were you? This could ruin lives. You could ruin lives. Is that why youâre here? Truly here? Why were you here? Why was this wrong? It was wrong. You were wrong.
You spiraled. You turned your head away from the table and his scent invaded you. You inhaled deeply balling your fists. Jacaerys coat still hung on your chair. Were you wrong?
A knock sounded on your door and you rushed to hide your work and hide Jacaerysâs coat. Stuffing his coat into your suitcase while you tossed the rolled-up paper under your bed you scrambled to your feet to open the door.Â
There stood the last person you wanted to see right now. Jacaerys. You put on the best smile you could and extended your hand to him to beckon him inside. That night as you watched the movie your thoughts ran rampant.Â
You wondered as you watched him become engrossed in the movie. Such innocent wandering. So many innocents here. You bit your lip. You were unsure of what to do. Go to Otto and tell him? NoâŚyou should probably hold off for a little bit.Â
âŚ
âMayhaps, we can have a painter paint your pictures so that you may have them forever.âÂ
You snapped your head up. âReally? You would do that?â Your lips formed a wobbly smile. âIt would mean the world to me to have them painted out.â You reached out in the dark for his hands holding them close to you. âThank you Jacaerys Valeryon, really. Thank you.âÂ
Too many innocents.Â
There would be too many innocents hurt. If you had proven him a bastard, what would become of his motherâs claim? The last woman they voted against because she simply was a woman. If it was proven Rhaenrya had no true heirs other than her last two children, she would be labeled a whore. You can only imagine the riots and the insults that will be thrown, and then those that would be slaughtered.
As you walked Jacaerys out you were silent thinking over your next steps. If you truly were here to make a change, if you had to change the course of history, then here and now would influence everything for centuries to come. You would influence centuries.
âGood night Prince Jacaerys.â You bowed. It was the first time you had addressed him as much. Your mind swirled with thoughts. To reform civilization. To speedrun progress. You shut the door and looked back towards your fan watching it spin.
âI am here to make a change.â You murmured as your eyes focused towards the window. Your brows furrowed as you nodded. âOkay. I will. I amâŚâ
With that, you pulled another piece of parchment paper and went to grab the finished genetic problem. Rhaenerya must become Queen. If she became Queen, it would bring about a new era and you would make her reign the best there ever was. An era of change and progress brought about by women. The seeds of equality between man and woman would be planted by you and your first seed would be implanting Rhaenyra as Queen.Â
There could be no doubts about her childrenâs legitimacy. So you rewrote the entire equation. Minor differences made big changes and soon with extra scribbles and making the problem more complicated than it should beâŚthat night you were able to legitimize Jacaerys Valeyron, Lucerys Velaryon, and Joffery Valeryron.Â
You looked towards the window, squinting your eyes as the sun began to rise. It had taken nearly a night, but your new and revised equation would serve you well. Standing up and grabbing the old equation you walked over to the fireplace. Once you burned this paper, the truth would be burned and your plan would begin. Without a doubt, you tossed it into the fire and it burned bright. You felt the heat lick at your face as you watched the paper shrivel and burn.Â
You would speak to Otto and Alicent after your week away to the Riverlands with Helaena.Â
âŚ
You dragged your luggage as you walked to the Dragon pit. You struggled to keep up with Heleana who only offered a smile.Â
âWait here, I will bring out Dreamfyre.â She spoke and you nodded and watched her enter the pit.Â
You didnât know what to expect. Yes, you had seen Vermax, but no other dragon since. You didnât even know what other dragons they had. You knew Aegon had one, but did Aemond have one? What about Daemon or Rhaenerya? Lucerys? You didnât know. Were there wild dragons? Is there a place where theyâre from? Were there other kinds? Like in how to train your dragon. Maybe large sea beasts! You gave a gasp and a smile bloomed on your face. Could you claim one? Oh, shoot! Maybe an ice-spitting one or one like toothless! However, a fire-breathing dragon is still pretty cool.Â
The ground rumbled and you looked as a large claw came out. You stepped back in fear and shock as the very large dragon came out with a roar with Helaena on top. Her dragon was certainly prettier than Vermax in your humble opinion. Dreamfyre was pale blue with silver markings, silver crests, and pale blue wings. She was breathtakingly beautiful. However, that didnât do much for your pounding heart as Dreamfyre snarled at you.Â
Maybe riding a dragon wasnât a good idea. Dreamfyre was a lot larger than Vermax. You watched the helpers strap yours and Helaenaâs luggage to Dreamfyre whilst speaking Valyrian. You were still a bit salty about the fact that you could understand next to nothing when they spoke.Â
You watched as Helaena giggled and smiled as she hugged Dreamfyreâs snout. You smiled at the sight though you stood off far in the distance awkwardly.Â
âDo you like her?â Helena asked as she turned around looking towards you.Â
âLike her? Of course, I do!â You grinned pushing back your fear. Helaena gave you a sweet smile. âHow or why is she so big?â You asked with a laugh hoping to cover up your nervousness.
âDreamfyre is about one hundred-â She began softly while petting Dreamfyre.Â
âOne hundred!? Years!â You cut her off and your volume made Helaena jump a bit. Dreamfyre was quick to snarl as you gave a small whimper and put your hands up backing away. âSorry! Sorry. Itâs just- one hundred years you said!? How old can they get!? How big can they get!?â You asked keeping your eyes on Dreamfyre making sure you could make a run for it if the situation called for it.Â
âI donât know. I know Balerion was about two hundred years old when he died and he was much larger than Dreamfyre and Vhagar is a couple of decades older than Dreamfyre. She is the biggest of all dragons. She is called the Queen of Dragons.â As Helaena spoke your jaw was slightly agape listening to her. Did you have any animals that were like that? Live to what sounds about two to three hundred years? Trees maybe? Tortoises can live for a hundred or so, no? What about crocodiles? Parrots? No, they only lived up to like fifty or sixty.Â
You cleared your throat and nodded pointing at the dragon. âIs she safe to approach?â The last thing you wanted was to be burned alive. Not after you just had your dramatic moment of committing to what you were going to do for the rest of your foreseeable future here. Or even worse, get some part of you burned. That would be ugly, and painful. High chance of getting infected as well. Not a good way to die. It was a miracle you hadnât caught anything. Didnât they have smallpox here or something? Most importantly has the black plague already passed?
Helaena smiled and nodded as you stepped closer with caution. You say the way Dreamfyre eyed you. She didnât seem the most pleased with you. Helaena guided your hand towards Dreamfyre scales. You gritted your teeth in fear and leaned back against Helaena. âWait! Shouldnât you let her smell me first or something!? Tell her to not bite my hand off!âÂ
âDreamfyre wonât bite you,â Helena assured you but it did nothing to calm you. Not as long as Dreamfyre kept looking at you with a look that stated âIf Helaena wasnât here youâd be toast. Literally.â
Your hand touched her warm scales and Dreamfyre gave out a huff. You retracted your hand quickly and stepped away, giving out a little squeal and shaking your hands. You took in a deep breath before nodding to Helaena who only gave you an innocent smile. âOkay, Iâm ready. To the Riverlands.âÂ
As you adjusted yourself in the seat you held on tight to Helaena as she commanded Dreamfyre to fly out. Whilst you gritted your teeth Helaena only gave sounds of contentment. Well, at least one of you was enjoying it. As Dreamfyre picked up height you looked over the lands of Kingâs Landing. Youâd like to see these lands a bit better. It would be nice to find a lake. Preferably walking distance or something. You needed to get out more anyway.
âCan we fly closer to the ground, below the clouds? Iâd like to look down.â You asked. You assumed Helaena obliged though you couldâve done with a warning as Dreamfyre plunged. You have a high-pitched scream as Helaena only laughs enjoying the weightless feeling. Â
Your grip is tight around her waist as you breathe heavily with wide and concerned eyes. Shaking your head you look around watching the unused green lands. Usually, when you look down in airplanes you would see lands cultivated by agriculture. It was almost strange just seeing green undisturbed. In the distance you squint your eyes and what looked like a lake. It wasnât too far from Kingâs Landing. You tapped Helaena and pointed to the water. She looked confused but obliged. You gritted your teeth once more and hung onto Helaena for dear life as Dreamfyre made a sharp turn to the right. It only took a minute to reach the lake. It was in the middle of a small valley and coming from a small waterfall. You looked to the southwest and saw that Kingâs Landing was still in view. If you had to guess it was about three to four kilometers (â 2.45 miles) You gave a small nod. Yes, this distance would be good. It wasnât too far. It was within walking distance. âHelaena, do you know who owns these lands?âÂ
Helaena shrugged and shook her head. âWho are the Lords near here?â You asked and Heleana paused to think about it.Â
âHouse Rosby, but I think this might be too close to Kingâs Landing. It might just be the Kingâs Land.â You gave a hum listening to Helaena. If this was the Kingâs land, that would work better for you.Â
You nodded then told her you were ready to go to the River Lands.
âŚ
âI have already been unseated once before Daemon.â Rhaenerya urged. âLet me at the very least see the children home.âÂ
âYou were unseated due to the uselessness of Laenor, I am not Laenor. I will not leave my brother. The Hightowers have ruled for long enough.â Daemon spoke unbothered by his wifeâs dilemma while flexing his thumb. There was some stiffness but the pain was now gone. However, his nose ached. A cunt you were.Â
From what he had heard you had left for the Riverlands two days ago with Helaena in search of an herb. He had also heard that you have been whoring yourself out, maids apparently seeing love marks on your chest and your late outings, but who was he to judge?Â
Daemon Targaryen. Thatâs who he was, so he would judge you. He would judge your unusual way of speaking, your lack of manners (had you been a Valyrian woman perhaps he would have overlooked it), and your radical ideas. Everything about you grated him, quite the stroke of luck you must have to be favored by the Queen and his brother. He wouldâve had your head by now if it had been anyone else.Â
âYou should see Jacaerys and Lucerys home.â Daemon looked up from his hand towards Rhaenyra who had a surprised expression apparently not expecting him to agree. âThat girl is a minx. Not only does she have the Queen and Kingâs support, but Aegon and Helaena take a liking to her as well. Jacaerys already seems interested despite being engaged to Baela. I will not have my daughter being left for a slut that can be found on the street of silk.â It would be an embarrassment to him, his family, his heritage. A woman of non-valyrian descent takes the husband from his daughter who is not only fully Valyrian but a dragon rider no less.
âJacaerys will not father any bastards with that girl much less leave Baela for her.â Rhaenrya held Daemonâs hand. âWhen I am Queen, I will send her far from here.â
âIâd like to have her executed. Have you yet to see how long Jacaerys spends on Dragon Back during the late hours? That girl has shown him something and now he spends his night searching for them. The boy searches for artists, those who paint portraits, why do you think that is?â Daemon tears his hand away from Rhaenrya.Â
âShe has healed my father Daemon. What Maesters could not do for over twenty years she has done in a fortnight. If my first action as Queen was to execute her the whole council would call me cruel.â Rhaenrya does not doubt that you have been worming your way into her family, but as it stands she does not have a valid reason to behead you.
âShe is despised by the citadel and shows to have no regard for the seven. That girl has plenty of enemies around her, should you behead her, the Old Town will be more favorable to you.â Allies for Rhaenryaâs rule were needed. The first female monarch would need to appeal to everyone.Â
âYou hate the seven and the citadel. You care little for them, why would we try to please them?â Rhaenrya raised a brow towards her husband.Â
âFrame this right and the small folk will despise her. You will be Queen, the first Queen of Westeros.â Daemon looked up towards Rhaenyra as she stood with her hands on her swollen stomach.
âShe will likely earn a pardon from Alicent. A sum will be paid to her and the girl will leave back to wherever it is she came from. I will not behead the woman who has saved my father. Once her usefulness is no longer needed then as you said, the Citadel and the High Septons will call for her banishment.â Daemon looks at his wife as she sits down rubbing her belly. You need to go. Now.Â
You were quite cumbersome. His brother refused to hear any criticisms of you and with Alicent in his ear, you were untouchable. You had clearly allied yourself with the greens and here in Kingâs Landing other than a few loyal gold cloaks, Daemon had no one to track you properly. Much to his displeasure Rhaenrya had kept him on Dragon Stone when they married.Â
It was a sore spot for him. He left his niece with the impression that she would be able to handle herself and keep the Greens in control. Clearly not. He had no idea how to keep you in check; you did not fear him as much as you once did. That night that he had you running away from him, those days were far behind you. He could only assume that you were wrapping up any princes and princesses you could get your hands on to keep you safe. You had nothing to your name other than the protection of the Greens and now regrettably the future heir to the Iron Throne.Â
Your cards were being well played and Daemon felt as if he was the only one truly playing against you. The only one who could see the wolf in sheep's clothing. The only one who saw your scheming and your seduction. The only thing he couldnât see from you was your end goal. The Iron Throne? To conquer? Conquer what? All of Westeros? You had no dragon and no Valyrian blood as was visible. Mayhaps a spy from strange lands to bring down the Targaryen dynasty. Why? Some free cities werenât fond of the Valyrians.
Daemon pressed the secret door and walked through the hidden halls of Maegorâs holdfast. As he fastened his cloak around him he heard steps echoing. He paused and listened. More likely than not a rat trapper. He waited and a figure passed him and an unmistakable scent. A conniving little girl you were. When and how did you discover these halls?
His hand itched for his ancestral sword; Dark sister.Â
Fuck.
 He had left it in the room, if he were to go back for it he would lose you. Would he get another chance to rid himself of you once and for all? He clenched his jaw and followed you without any weapons. He followed you through the halls. You took twists and turns. Did you know where you were going? Did you know he was following you? Why werenât you running then? Finally, you stopped and he stopped as well. He saw you press your hand to the wall. There was no door there. You didnât know where you were going.
He grinned and crept behind you. He heard you give a small gasp and before you could run away he grabbed the hood of your cloak and some of your hair. It would be a while before anyone would find your body. A rip sounded and you were running away from him. He chased after you. You turned the corner. He ran faster but as he turned the corner he felt pain shoot through his face. He groaned but went to punch you, however, you seemed to duct or he misdirected the punch in the dark, he didnât know, all he knew is that shoved into a nearby wall and suddenly your scent invaded his now bleeding nose as he watched you run back the way you came.
Swallowing the pain he grunted and stood up running after you. Much to Daemonâs displeasure you did eventually find a door and ran out. He chased after you but lost you as you jumped down the stairs and just before you disappeared into the streets of Kingâs Landing you seemed to turn around. You both stood there, Daemon from the top of the stairs holding his nose and you with all the people and streets of Kingâs Landing behind you.Â
You flipped him off.Â
He grunted in frustration as he watched you walk and disappear in the masses of Kingâs Landing. That was the second time you had caught him by surprise.Â
A couple of days later he learned that you had been dealing with madams of whore house in the Street of Silk.
âŚ
The moment you felt the humid air hit you your smile immediately evaporated. The humidity was your worst enemy. It wasnât long before a castle came into view. It was built upon what looked like a swamp.
âWhere are we?â You asked Helaena.Â
âRiverrun. The ancestral castle of House Tully. The current lord is Grover Tully.â You hummed as Dreamfyre went to land, though as she roared it startled you causing you to lose your grip on Helaena and nearly slip off. You screamed as you managed to grab onto a rope on the saddle. Helaena gasped and attempted to grab you and in her haste steered Dreamfyre into a sharp left turn.Â
You scream again as you help the rope tight. You didnât dare look down. âJust land her!â You yelled and Dreamfyre dove and you screamed. Maybe a dragon wasnât such a good idea.Â
The sudden change as Dreamfyre gilded whipped you and the rope snapped. You screamed as you were launched into the swamp. You sank into the murky waters and your survival instincts kicked in. You desperately swam upwards, or what you thought was upwards. You were sent into the water spiraling. You were running out of air. As you swam upwards you gave a groan fighting the urge to not scream. A Charley horse now plagued you.
Great.Â
Trying to calm yourself down you swam up mermaid style trying to preserve your energy. You took in a large breath as you broke through the water. You aligned yourself into a backstroke position letting your cramping calf float as you swam backwards towards land hearing Helaena shout your name. Dreamfyre had launched you pretty far and now much to your embarrassment people were watching you from the castle as you swam back to shore.Â
Finally when you could stand you grimaced as you did your best to get out of the murky water. What if there were crocodiles or worse!? Clearly, things that didnât exist in your world existed here. Who knows what was in the waters? You made a sound of desperation as you limped out of the water and fell on the grass.
As you rested on the grass you heard buzzing in your head. Great. Of course, swamps and mosquitoes went hand in hand. You swatted it away as you stood up and limped towards Helaena.Â
âAre you hurt?â She asked, looking down at you worriedly.Â
âJust a cramp.â You paused as an intrusive thought entered your mind. Good lord. What if you caught Malaria!? Your face contorted into one of disgust against your will and suddenly goosebumps covered your arms and your hair stood on end. Under no circumstances could you get bit by mosquitoes or anything here!Â
A male voice called out to both you and Helaena. You turned and greeted theâŚwell actually he looked to be around your age, he had a young face.Â
âMy Lord.â Both you and Helaena greeted each other. The boy or was it a man(?), looking at you with a concerned expression.Â
âMy lady you appear to have taken quite a fall,â he commented, and although you were completely soaked the back of your neck and face felt hot.Â
âYes, I took a fallâŚâ You trailed off unsure what to say. The faster you leave the place the better. At all costs, you must avoid sickness. The lord invited you inside as Dreamfyre took off. You eyed the dragon from the corner of your eye. Good riddance! The dragon didnât like you but went a step further and embarrassed you! Madness!
As you limped, Helaena called your name out worriedly as she went to your side. You held your hand out as you gritted your teeth trying to not make any sounds as you went forward.Â
âMy Lady! You are hurt.â The young lord went to your side.Â
âYes, I swam up too fast. Diverâs cramp. Itâs sore, nothing to worry about. It should be better by the morrowâ You purse your lips as you hear yourself. âBy the morrow?â You had spent entirely too much time here. You were now speaking as they were. You didnât know how to feel about that.
âShall I have a knight carry you inside?â Lord Tully offered. You thought for a moment. Well, it would be nice. Lord Tully took your silence as a yes and suddenly you were swept off your feet.Â
You hissed as you grabbed onto the knight. âMy leg, ser! Please!âÂ
âApologies my lady.â The knight was quick to readjust his hand. All you could do was stare at the knight and give a simple smile as his hand was now a little bit higher than what was proper, even by your standards.
Fortunately, you, the young lord, had the insight to send for a bath prepared for you. As the knight carried you up the stairs you were especially grateful. Walking after a fresh cramp was always the worst. Finally reaching your room you smiled giving a friendly tap. âYou are a very strong user.â You nodded as he thanked you before leaving.
Much to your displeasure inside the castle it was still very much humid. What you wouldnât give for your fan right now. This was so much worse than Kingâs Landing. As you peeled yourself out of the wet dress you limped towards the bath in your room. You sank into the warm water. Honestly cold wouldâve been better, but this was fine.Â
You scrubbed yourself and waited for your things to be offloaded from Dreamfyre. Find what you came for and go back to Kingâs Landing. Tomorrow youâd have to go out and youâd be fully covered too, unfortunately.
âMy lady, Lord Tully, has asked if there is anything he can offer.â The maid entered your chambers placing your belongings on the side of your bed.Â
âDo you have alcohol?â You turned to face the maid. Bug spray had alcohol, no? Your mother used cinnamon to keep away pests such as fruit flies from fruit. Is cinnamon exported from âEssos?â Is cinnamon a thing?
âAlcohol?â The maid asked, tilting her head.Â
âAle, beer, wine. Preferable ale or beer.â You clarified. âAlong with that, do you have cinnamon?â
âOf course, I will send for Ale and Iâm unsure. We have not imported any goods from Essos. I will ask the kitchen. Anything else?â You shook your head and dismissed her as you began scrubbing yourself. If you didnât find what you came for there would be a serious issue. At this point, you might need this just as much as the King.Â
âOh shit!â You landed on the hard floor and pain shot up your legs as your feet tingled. You groaned as you stood up and looked behind you. Of course, it was Daemon. You stood there trying to ease the pain in your feet. They didnât exactly have great shoes in this era and the best you had was some sandals and that wouldnât be any help. If only a second suitcase had washed up with you as well. Where was that second suitcase anyway or the rest of them? Not only did you have your clothes but some sneakers as well.Â
On top of that, your hand ached. You werenât particularly skilled in punching people. You were running out of tricks to sucker punch this man. He wouldnât just give up! You raised your hand flipping him off before running off.Â
âSucker.â
It wasnât long before you reached your destination. You dug into the pockets of your sweater and pulled a piece of paper and of course your prototypes. That night when you returned from your first-ever dragon ride. You had seen a run-down shop that looked like it was going to go out of business.Â
Beggars canât be choosers and this time, you were no beggar.
You knocked on the door and a rancid-smelling man answered. You gave a mute smile trying to breathe too much.
âMâlady this is a late hour.â The man spoke and once more you fought to make a face.Â
âImma busy woman. This is the only time I have.â You looked inside where his family restedâa poor living space. You purse your lips. âWell? Itâs rude to not invite someone in.âÂ
His wife came quickly behind him. She smiled and immediately you were able to see her poor dental hygiene, but there were slight and subtle changes since the last time you saw her. âMâlady it is quite the mess inside, but please do come.â
You stepped in and luckily it was only messy, not nasty. âNonsense. It is homely. The unique quirks and the evidence of family is what makes a house a home.âÂ
âSmooth.â You smiled to yourself. The woman was quick to offer you a chair and you gladly took a seat. You pulled out a paper. A little contact of your making. âI can see you have been using my product?â You smile showing off your pretty teeth. âYour teeth are looking better already.â You hammered it in. You needed this deal to go well. It could spell out riches for you.
âYes! I have gotten so many compliments on my teeth recently, M'lady. This combined with the mint we already chew, I reckon Iâll have teeth as good as you.â The woman beamed and you grinned.Â
âThat's the idea. I have better teeth than the King himself.â You leaned over the table covering the side of your mouth. âAnd between us, some would say even better than the Queen herself.â You grinned once more making sure your pearly whites were on full display. âYou have a daughter, yes? Start her young and make sure when her teeth are loose, have her pull them out. Donât let them layer your teeth like a shark. Follow this and sheâll have better teeth than me and of course, a smile is everything. It can make or break someone. Good teeth are the mark of beauty. A man could be missing an eyebrow but the first thing you will notice is a smile. A smile that could win many high suitors.â
Hook.
The man and woman turned to each other with a look you knew anywhere. âYou flatter us mâlady, but our daughter would never wed a lord. Weâd have no dowry or lands to give.â
Line.
âWith this contract, I assure you, a dowry wonât be a problem.â Once more that look appeared in their eyes. The look of ambition.Â
And sinker.
âWhat do you offer mâlady?â The man asked and you grinned.Â
This deal was as good as closed. You slid the contract over with a jar of ink and a pen or a feather. âIâll go over the details, I wouldn't want to blindside you.â You spend the next hour explaining the details of the contract. It was a five-year contract and if both parties were satisfied then the contract would be extended. Â
âWell folks gotta make their livinâ normally Iâd give a seventy-thirty, but I like yâall. I give it to you for sixty-five-thirty-five. I get sixty-five percent of all profits and you keep thirty-five percent. Sounds good?â You handed over the pen and then looked at it confused. You purse your lips. What's wrong? You were sure you sold it. Answered all their questions, kept the numbers high, and sweet-talked them. That's how you close a deal. Shame them if they donât think itâs a good offer.Â
âWe canât write.â The woman mumbled out.Â
âShit.â Did they even know how to do math right? It all depended on their competence.Â
âNote to self, donât rely on others for a job well done.âÂ
âYou canât do math?â You raised a brow.
âCourse we do mâlady. We have a shop, we just never learned to read or write.â You smiled. Good, all that matters is counting coins.Â
âAlright, we'll have thumbprints, just like this.â You coated your thumb in the black ink and pressed it on your side of the contract. They both followed.Â
âWhen will we start selling theseâŚwhat do we call them?â The man asked after wiping his thumb on a cloth. âAnd how much do we sell them for?â The wife asked her husband.Â
âCall themâŚâ A brand name was everything. Miswak wasnât marketable. Maybe youâd steal names from Crest or Colgate. âThis brand will be calledâŚâSapwood Smilesâ and calls the brush by brush and of course, the charcoalâŚcall it whiting crest. Your slogan could be âTimeless Oral Care for Modern Livingâ or maybe âYour Natural Smile Solutionâ or something catchy.âÂ
âWhat is âoral?ââ The man asked as you took back the paper, rolling it up in your hand.
âOral means mouth in short terms. Oral health is what makes your mouth healthy. Oh, maybe you can do âOral Care Reimagined, Naturally.â Natural remedies always appeal to a certain demographic.â You stood up and prepared to leave. After all, you had one more stop to get to. âThe shipments will arrive in a week or two. I will personally deliver myself. You will sell the biobrush for one copper star and one groat. The whitening crest or just crest will be sold for two copper Groats and one halfgroat. However, should they purchase two it will be the price for two copper stars. Give them a deal. Save them money. After all, I sympathize with the commons, I myself came from humble beginnings. I know what it is to live at the bottom.â And you also knew that you needed to play just a little dirty to get ahead.Â
With that, you nodded and bid them goodbye and once more pulled your cloak in over your head. One last meeting in the Street of Silk. You would bet that this idea would be the real money maker. At least the fastest way you could start making money now. You were sure this would catch fast within the brothels.
âŚ
âIâm afraid of the rats,â Helaena murmured as you braid small braids in her hair. You both had been talking all morning about anything and everything. Such a barbaric world this girl lived in.Â
âThe rats?â You question. Aegon had told you about his sister-wife's strange sayings.Â
âNo one listens. The rats will come bearing a hollow savior.â Helaena continued and you furrowed your brows. Helaena turns to you with a sad smile. âA dawn of gilded skies, a great age shall rise. A betrayalâŚâ She trailed off looking deep into your eyes. Her lilac eyes seemed to drown you. You felt a sharp pain on the sides of your jaw travel to your tear ducts and your waterline began to fill with tears. Itâs like she wasnât even there. As if she werenât speaking to you. âA betrayalâs kiss shall usher in the forlorn.â
You drowned within her gaze. A deep pain bloomed in your chest as if you were struggling to breathe. As if you were drowning in waters that brought you here. You couldnât understand why it hurt. It hurt so much and you felt her cold hands on her cheek.Â
âIf you will deliver us.â Was her final whisper before she stood up leaving you in the room. Tears streamed down your eyes. Only when she left the room did you feel your breath return to you. You bent, gasping as tears fell onto the carpet. What was she talking about?Â
It took you quite a while before you were finally able to get your heartbeat under control and your breathing steady. You shook your head before you limped over to the cinnamon brought to you. Deciding it would be best to distract yourself from whatever that was you began melting shavings of soap. Once it has melted you pour it into the warm water that was bought for you. Then you splashed some ale into the cinnamon water mixture. Once that was settled you let it sit while you stretched your calf lightly.Â
Wouldnât want another cramp.Â
Aegon was right. His was creepy because what in tarnation was that!? Most importantly, why did you cry? You couldnât understand what you were seeing but in that moment it felt like you were drowning or something heavy was sitting atop your chest. Thinking back, you swore you heard pleas and what was this whole thing about âIf you will deliver us?â You were NOT a godsent nor a prophet. That misunderstanding nearly got you killed on your first day by Daemon. That was the last thing you wanted to be. Too much responsibility entirely. Not to mention you werenât one for religion. What god exactly would you be receiving prophecies from? The smith? You scoffed out a laugh at the thought.
Religion here wasnât something you had paid much attention to. The Great Sept of Baelor seems to be like their cathedrals. Perhaps one of these days you should pay a visit to them, see if their artwork compares to that of catholicism, or if there are any similarities with any other religions.Â
The Seven represented by a seven-pointed star reminded you of paganism. No doubt the seven would be villainized like the pagans were. Throw in the excuse of the star looking too much like the star of the pagans and of course, there are the âseven deadly sinsâ otherwise known as the carnal sins. The Seven were called ânew godsâ and there were also those called the âold gods.â To your understanding, they were the faith established here by the First MenâŚor was it Rhoynar or maybe the Andals? No, the Andals brought the faith of Seven, right? Then who is Rhoynar?Â
What other faiths were there here? In your world, many faiths exist, including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism just to name a few. From what you can recall the Eastern part of the hemisphere is much more diverse in terms of religion. In the Western part i.e. the Americas, Christianity dominates with its subsections through the continents. Of course, there is Catholicism that dominates both Central and South America, then there is North America with Mormonism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. The Eastern part which contains Asia, Africa, Europe, and Oceania, to your knowledge was more diverse. Thought Europe was largely held by Christianity, Italy housed the smallest country in the world inside of Rome; Vatican City was home to the Catholic religion, then the UK held the Church of England, but a majority of Irish are Catholic, then you have Asia which holds many religions but the most prominent are Islam and Buddhism no? Was it Hinduism?Â
Either way, you wonder if Essos would be the same. Hosting many different types of religion as opposed to just two. The short amount of time youâve spent here in the Riverlands youâve learned that beliefs are separated by region. The North goes by the âold waysâ while the South abides by the ânew gods.â Youâd like to go North one day. You much preferred the cold to the hot and humid South. However, Dragon Stone was nice. A constant breeze was always nice.Â
You stood up and limped over to your bowl. Youâd have to leave it to sit for another hour or two. That was fine, you couldnât go out today to find what you needed anyway. Your calf was still pretty sore and you didnât want to force it. Besides you needed a way to test your little concoction to see if it would work and for that, you need to catch some mosquitoes. Annoying little things.Â
Dressing yourself you walk out of your room with a slight limp and a glass jar in your hands. You greeted the Lord Oscar Tully who assigned you a guard as you walked out. You made sure you were covered, even if it meant youâd sweat like crazy in this humid heat. It was fine however, it meant it would attract more pests. You walked out with the knight trailing behind you. You went to sit in a nearby log near still water. That's where mosquito eggs were laid and consequently where you could find the blood-sucking mosquitoes.Â
Before you sat down you kicked the log making sure there was nothing in it. After kicking it a few more times and nothing came out you sat down. Slowly you lifted the sleeve of your dress and waited. It was humid and you were sweating quite a bit. It wasnât long before I heard buzzing. Your head twitched as a response but you sat and waited.Â
âMy Lady?â The guard questioned.Â
âIâm collecting mosquitoes for an experiment. I do hate these things, if all goes well, trust me, youâll love me. These things can spread diseases, you know? Iâd rather not catch any when I go out tomorrow, that means not being bit by these little bloodsuckers.â You explained that the mosquitos landed and you swept them up putting them in the jar.
You could feel the judgment radiating off the man. Oh well. You could make a fortune out of this. You needed the money and of course, there wouldnât be any generated until next week. You had to pick up the shipment of miswak from the ships and had to grate charcoal. Once you had the money youâd generate jobs as well. Now that King Viserys was going back into politics before youâd make Rhaenyra queen you had to stabilize yourself first. The King seemed to like you a lot better than his younger brother and his daughter did.Â
Of course, once the âtruthâ about Rhaenryaâs children was out your protection from anyone would fly out the window due to you being of no use to Alicent and Otto. Speaking of Alicent ever since those rumors about you spread well she hasnât been as inviting as she once was. Your time was running out and if you didnât play your cards right, the rope would be cut and the guillotine blade would fall on your neck.Â
King Viserys was your best option to solidify yourself. You need to make yourself invaluable and of course, do a little PR. If your head would be cut off, then you would need riots in the streets. That started with giving the people basic human necessities which was easy enough. They lived like trash.Â
As you continued to catch mosquitos you racked your brain. A swear system would be nice. Certainly would be great for your nose. How you hated the smell of Kingâs Landing. You could smell the shit from five miles away. Not to mention it would get rid of that awful chamber pot. You hated using that thing. It was times like that made you miss the modern world.
Actually, everything makes you miss the modern world. It was torture living here. What you wouldnât give for a nice hot shower, bug spray, air freshener, cars, trains, electricity, AC, the internet, or really anything from your time. How did the water system work? How did the plumbing system work? Speaking of which, you needed to develop a better water filter, which was easy enough. You already had a concept in your mind.Â
You looked into the jar and decided that was enough. Capping it you stood up and walked back.Â
âWhat are you going to do with them, my lady?â The guard asked as you both walked back towards the castle.Â
âTest a bug-repellent spray.â You said you were uninterested as ideas ran in your head of how to solidify your position before you installed Rhaenyra as queen.
âHow would that work?â He asked in a small mumble as if embarrassed to be asking. A smile bloomed on your face. How you loved explaining things.Â
âHurry on inside and Iâll show you!â You grinned at the man as you both began walking inside with haste.Â
Once you both were inside you sat down on the nearest chair and sat down the jar. You then sent a maid to fetch your bowl of cinnamon water.Â
âOkay, I want you to watch.â You put your hand over the jar holding it there. âMosquitoes use three ways to locate prey. Mosquitoes, the females in particular, have a great sense of smell and thatâs because only they suck blood. That is how they produce eggs, males on the other hand only feed off fruit because their needle-like proboscis isnât strong or sharp enough to pierce human skin like the female is.â You grin up at the man and the other who had come along.
âPretty interesting isnât it? When they are near you they can smell the sweat or more specifically certain compounds within your sweat that you emit which draws them in. Next is the carbon dioxide you exhale.â You looked up and gave a big inhale. âWe inhale oxygen.â Then you exhaled. âAnd exhale carbon dioxide.â You smiled up towards the guards who gave a nod simply agreeing with what you said. âFinally, what I think is most cool and what youâre going to see right now, is that they can sense body heat. Look.â You took your hand away and where your hand was resting were mosquitoes.
The guards let out a sound of amusement looking at the jar and seeing how the mosquitoes lined the imprint of your hand. âBecause of the strong sense of smell, one can exploit that, and theoretically, make it a weakness. See if I opened this jar and placed my hand above the assumption that they would feast on my palm, butâŚâ The maid returned with your bowl and you wet the palm of your hand. Then you twist open the lid placing your soaked hand. âWith this, it produced a strong smell that in turn disoriented them thus repelling them.â You placed your hand and just as you predicted they did not get near you much less try to feast.Â
More sounds of amusement sounded throughout the hall. Quiet the crowd you had, including the Lord Oscar Tully and Helaena who had curious eyes yet laced with something else. You looked away from her. âNow to show they would take the opportunity to eat Iâm going to let them try to eat on my other palm which is not coated with my formula.â You capped the jaw and let the mosquitoes reorient themselves before you offered your other palm and they saw as they went to feed on you. Before they bit you took your hand away. No chances were going to be taken.
âWhat is this âformula?ââ The Lord asked and you turned to him. You had two choices. One: You could sell the formula and make a quick buck or two: You could do some charity. A good image here would be good. The Riverlands are in the middle of everything. The word would spread. You needed a good reputation, only now did you realize you needed one everywhere, not just in Kingâs Landing.Â
You smiled as you announced the name of your formula. Of course, you named it after yourself. You will be known throughout all the lands of Westeros.
âŚ
âNo more freaky tellings, yes?â You asked Helaena cautiously as you rubbed your formula all over your legs and arms. While Helaena did look a bit dejected she nodded as she too rubbed your formula over herself. âOkay then, letâs find that plant!â
âFive shadows shall creep across the age of lightâŚseeds of-.â You heard Helaena mumble as you both walked into the forest. A sudden weight on your chest began to press down.
âHelaena!â You called her and she looked at you with innocent eyes. âStop. Listen.â You stopped and a serious facial expression overtook your face. âI don't know what youâre saying and itâs not that I donât want to listen, but it makes meâŚdeeply uncomfortable and brings up memories Iâd rather not remember. Please, stop it.âÂ
You watched Helaena blink and nod before turning away. Great. Now you feel bad, but it had to be done. You walked cautiously about the surrounding green. This was taking forever and you just wanted to go back to Kingâs Landing where it wasnât as humid and your fan was constantly on.Â
âWhat are you looking for, my lady?â The same guard from two days ago asked. Both you and Helaena had taken a guard whilst you went to search for your plant, though after you had told her to stop Helaena had left elsewhere. Hopefully not too far. The last thing you needed was a lost princess.Â
You continued to walk forward looking around. âIt is a bushy annual plant, ranging from 1 to 6 feet tall, depending on the variety and growing conditions. It has a central stalk from which multiple branches emerge, creating a symmetrical shape.â You moved a branch out of the way avoiding the vines. âIts leaves have serrated edges and are deeply lobed, usually with 5 to 9 narrow, pointed leaflets radiating from a central point. The color ranges from light to deep green, occasionally with purple or reddish hues under certain conditions.â
A breeze hit you and you picked up a familiar scent. You smiled as you went forward trying to catch the smell again. âThe leaf and stem itself are often sticky. Then of course there are the flowers it has. The flower produces clusters of small, dense flowers in the female plants.â You spoke and a light green color caught your eye.Â
âPlants can be male or female?â The guard asked, confused, chasing after you.Â
âNot exactly. Plants can have male and female genitalia. Some can even change their gender and can self-pollinate creating exact copies of themselves, while others rely on pollinators such as bees or hummingbirds just to name some.â You saw Helaena playing with a spider that was entirely too big for your comfort. You grimaced watching the spider crawl on her hand. âCome on Helaena, it could bite you.âÂ
You saw her look up and nod before releasing the spider.
Ew.Â
You smiled and dragged her along. If you found this plant, it would be gold. âPollinators?â You heard the guard murmur as you felt another breeze and once more there was that scent. You were grinning from ear to ear barely suppressing your smile.
You broke through a treeline and there it was.
âWhat is that?â Helaena asked.Â
You walked to the tall plant taking a bud and inhaling that unmistakable scent.Â
âYerba Buena.â
Note: And the plot finally begins. Pls talk to me! Let me know your thoughts! Also I can confirm that hiding behind a wall then surprise attacking them with a punch does work! But it hurts if you don't know how to punch right.

Once Upon A Time chapter 5
<first> <prev> <next>
Jason Todd knew it was only a matter of time until his bubble burst and one of his brothers found out what he was getting up to. He was just hoping he could pull it off for a little longer. Even though the pit still reacted at the strangest times, he felt calmer, more normal, than he had in years. He wanted to hold it close and make sure nobody could take it from him.
From Replacement: you went back to college? Does B know?
Fuck.
â
Danny had been wary at first. Rich boy Jason Todd-Wayne in his college classes. The man was older than Jazz, though not by much, and a freshman with him. Either the guy was a bad influence or Danny just had really shitty luck.
He and the universe both knew the answer to than one really. But 60 bucks a week to reteach the guy basic math and Jason always gave him dinner in the deal? Danny wasnât going to look that particular gift horse in the mouth. If there was one thing Danny had forgotten during the past almost two years it was how hungry his human side got. Not having money and being on the run meant opportunities to eat were few and far between.
What Danny didnât expect was how sarcastic and assholish the rich guy could be. He loved trading snark. Danny assumed that it came from them both having older siblings. But between that and the half formed core that was slowly shoring up, Danny found himself growing attached. He had missed having friends. Getting to talk to Sam, Tucker and rarely Jazz through a conspiracy message board wasnât enough. Most of the time it was just a way to make sure that nobody had been captured by the GIW. They had a way to pass longer messages but to do that too often would be suspicious.
âSo I donât get it,â Danny said, gesturing at Jason with some fries almost a month into tutoring, âWhat do people actually do at Galas? The tabloid pics just show a bunch of people in uncomfortable looking suits standing around with champagne.â
ââŚ.thats really it. Itâs boring as shit.â Jason kicked his chair back on two legs, leaning against the wall. âIf I liked you less Iâd invite you.â
âIf you liked me less?â
âOh yeah. Because then youâd have to meet my brothers, the assorted not quite adopteds, my dad and scarier yet, our butler.â Danny choked on his laugh.
âYour butler is the scary one in that situation?â
âAlfred is like a ghost. Always there when you turn around.â Jason put on the accent âMaster Jason, you really must come home more. Nobody quite enjoys my cooking like you.â He let the chair legs settle on the floor. âNow imagine that from behind you in a dark kitchen at two am while youâre half drunk and trying to make a sandwich.â
âOkay, yeah, I could see it being that scary. My sister wasâŚ.â Shit he hadnât meant to mention Jazz. âShe was the only one who cared sometimes.â May as well rip that bandaid off.
âYeah?â Jason asked, taking a drink from his coffee cup. âDidnât know you had a sister.â
âMy family and I donât see each other anymore. Itâs for the best.â He hoped Jason wouldnât ask more questions, because âmy parents sold me out to the government that only knew where I was because of the Justice League which is why I hate them and by association your dad, and now my sister is in hiding in a different state with a new identityâ was way too difficult to explain. âI left before they could kick me out.â
Danny watched Jasonâs face twist into a frown. âBigots suck. Sorry man.â
âYeahâŚ. WellâŚâ Danny busied himself with finishing his burger. Then, once he chewed and swallowed. âWait. Is your dad the one that fell into the champagne tower last year?â
Jason groaned, âheâs not always like that I promise.â
âNo I get it. A weird âFamily Friendâ invited us to his fancy party so he could hit on my mom once. I accidentally on purpose took out the entire buffet table including a cheese fountain so we had to go home.â
âCheese fountain?â
âYou know those chocolate fountains?â Danny asked. Jason nodded. âLike that, but with fondue cheese instead. And before you ask why, all I can say is it was in Wisconsin.â
Jason watched him with an unreadable expression for a moment, and Danny assumed he was processing it, because when the expression broke, Jason was laughing.
He looked so much younger when he laughed like that, and Danny remembered that they had both had, in their own ways, a rough life. âYeah. I know. I was finding cheese in the weirdest places for weeks.â
âDid you get invited back?â Dannyâs heart ached with the fact that a month or so later, Everything Fell Apart.
âNo⌠IâŚâ he cut himself off, remembering the horrified looks his parents gave him as their weapons, the ones he fixed, were turned against the âbeastâ that âpossessedâ their son. The looks mimicking the ones they gave him when the party screeched to a halt as he did his best impression of a Scooby Doo villain being unmasked. The screams of shock turning into ones of horror. The -
â-anny? Danny?â He blinked and shook his head.
âWhat? Oh, sorry.â He took another drink from the coffee, emptying the cup. âNo. I never was asked back. You done?â He looked at their empty plates and grabbed the tray. âWe should get to the library. Though Iâm sure someone as good looking as you has plenty, these x-es wonât find themselves.â He was overcompensating for zoning out now, words coming out faster than normal.
âYeah⌠are⌠you okay?â Jason asked, as Danny bussed their tray and grabbed his backpack, a backpack bought by his tutoring money. A tutoring gig he desperately did not want to fuck up with his own bullshit.
âMe? Fine. More than. I just zone out sometimes. Come on.â Dannyâs words were still coming out too fast. He took a few breaths during the couple seconds Jason took getting his things, trying to ground himself as much as possible. He was going to be normal. He was going to be normal if it killed him. Again.
The walk to the library was quiet and Danny was thankful for that. He needed to get his head on straight if he was going to be any help to Jason and he still had his own homework to do after. As they walked in, both Danny and Jason instinctively looked towards the desk where Barbara usually worked, but she wasnât there, some other guy was checking in books with quiet beeps.
Danny had learned over the last month that while Dick, Tim and Damian were Jasonâs official siblings, Barbara was an unofficial one and he liked her the most.
It made sense, since she didnât seem to pry into Jasonâs life the way Jazz would have if she was here. Not that he would have minded her prying for how much he missed her, but four years ago he would have hated it.
â
Jason knew the haunted and hunted look that had settled into Dannyâs eyes. The way he trailed off into something vacant. How his breathing seemed to get stuck in his chest. Which is why he tried to interrupt the cycle before he could spiral. Something big happened to him, and Jason knew he wouldnât want to break down in a cafe in front of people.
Thankfully he seemed to snap out of it quickly, instead overcompensating into energetic. The message was clear. âDonât ask about what just happened.â Carefully, Jason let Danny lead him into the library, aware of his positioning and making sure not to follow too far behind or loom too much. Considering he had at least six inches on Danny, that last part was hard, but he tried.
He could feel the pit spiraling in him, circling and coiling like a dragon deep in his chest. Itching to doâŚ. Something. It wasnât punch or claw or fight. This was new. He didnât like it in the slightest.
He looked over to where Babs usually was, then remembered she had a class, criminal justice degree, how apt, as he and Danny went towards what was now their spot. Jason found he had the sudden impulse to pull Dannyâs chair out for him, and shoved that particular useless idea back down into the abyss it belonged in.
â
Danny looked over at Jason who stood at the edge of the table lookingâŚ. Angry? Confused? and pulled out his own books. âI promise, my zoning out isnât contagious.â He said, looking up at Jason and kicking the chair across from him out from under the table for Jason to sit. He gave a wry smile, âif it was, I donât think anyone in my high school would have made it.â
Jason snorted a laugh, snapping out of whatever thoughts he had been thinking. Jason pulled the chair out further and sat, sitting more comfortably than he used to. More of the true Jason, Danny was realizing, less of the person he was supposed to be. In another lifetimeâŚ. But no. He couldnât⌠not while he was being hunted. It wouldnât be fair to Jason to have to hide such a huge part of himself and his past.
Not to mention he hadnât ever come out to Jazz and his friends. Well he hadâŚ. But more in the âhey Iâm dead but not reallyâ way and less in the âso I like guysâ way.
But in spite of those barriers, this tentative friendship with Jason was enough to keep him happy.
Which made the next kick in the teeth from the universe completely expected.
All he had wanted was to walk home in peace. Sure it was almost midnight, in Gotham, but still. He made it most of the way, and was slinking through the Bowery when it happened.
Guys with dark clothes and weapons were suddenly in front of him. He turned only to see more at his back. There had to be five in total? Or was it six? Danny didnât have time to count.
âHey guys.â He hedged, muscles tensing as he raised his hands to show he wasnât a threat. âDonât mind me, Iâm just trying to get home. Long walk and all that. If I could justâŚ. Scooch past you?â Danny took a step to do just that and the lead goon swung at him with a baton.
He hopped back slightly, dodging the hit when it came. âNot a chance. Boss needs someâŚ. Help with his latest ideas. Youâre coming with us.â
Danny ran through his options in his head. Option 1: get kidnapped. Option 2: get the shit kicked out of him. Option 3: beat the shit out of them and get labeled as a possible bat to be or possible rogue to be. Option 4: go fully ghost and either escape unscathed but wind up more firmly on the GIWâs radar.
Option two or three would wind up happening, because he wasnât going to put himself at the mercy of the Bat-ass again, and he wasnât going to offer himself up on a silver platter to the GIW.
The moment one tried to grab him, Danny dodged out of the way, and that seemed to bring the goons on him en masse. They seemed well practiced, but considering it was Gotham, there wasnât a big surprise there. The next few minutes were a flurry of elbows and knees, punches and kicks, batons and clubs.
Danny would dodge and counter, disarm one and fling their weapon across the street. He would have sore ribs and bruises from his elbows to his knuckles come morning but he was slowly winnowing them down. He had a brief thought about the conservation of ninjutsu, as the fewer goons there were the stronger they seemed to get. The realistic answer was they were less concerned with hurting each other when there were fewer of them, he knew that. But everything was more fun with ninjas.
When there were three left, one threw a punch that connected with his nose. There was a pop and crunch and a hot rush of blood down his face even before the pain set in. He spat out the blood that collected in his mouth from the way his head snapped back when he was punched. Another one came at him, and his own years of training caught the guyâs arm, judo throwing them into another look and sending them both careening into a wall. The move was trickier with gravity, but he made it work.
Danny looked up at the last remaining goon. He grinned, teeth too sharp and stained with his own blood, eyes glowing just the faintest green. âRun.â
They did.
Unfortunately for the goon, they ran smack into the chest of one Batman.

these last 3 chapters more than ever have left me wondering about the timeline of spy x family and in particular,
donovan's age.
i'm not going to go too deep into the full timeline because i simply don't think we have enough info to make a real robust timeline, BUT i do think we can very feasibly approximate donovan's age with our current info.
I also wonât be using any precise years like 1964 or whatever bc at this moment in time I find that to be kind of useless, bc the only years we have happen very early in the story in background details and for a lot of those ones, I noticed endo had a tendency to just carelessly put whatever so long as it looked fine from afar, which includes news that were happening around the time of that chapter's release. SO unless he decides to explicitly highlight actual years, Iâm not gonna be like âthis happened in 1964 and that happened in 1953â and anything of the sort.
now, i shall partake in my least favorite activity.
â¨math.â¨
so uh buckle up my fellas and feel free to correct me anywhere where i might be wrong bc i am more than aware that math is NOT my strong suit!
SPOILERS FOR CHAPTERS 97, 98 AND 99!
gonna start with the facts!
according to the spy x family EYES ONLY fanbook, henry henderson is 66 years old at the time of the current events of spy x family! in the past three chapters we have learned that there is a 3 year age gap between him and martha, so that would make her 63 years old currently.
as of the events of chapter 99, he is 22 years old (and martha is 19), assuming there wasn't any years-long time gap that was not mentioned within the chapter! which, it doesnât seem like there were any MASSIVE time gaps, so Iâll be using those ages for calculating.
so, what all this means is that we are (roughly) 44 years into the past at the moment! previous info about the war of loid and yor's childhoods puts it at around 20 years old, so from where we are in the backstory, we still have roughly 20 more years before Luwen is attacked â clearly, because this first war has already ended with donovan still in school.
while we don't have loid's age, we do have yor's, who is 27 years old â meaning she was born around the time of henry being 39 years old, aka clearly neither loid nor yor have been born yet as of the events of chapter 99. too into the past for now!
now, how am i gonna get donovan's age out of all this?
simple! henry's his teacher and has a talk with him after his jail time.
like I mentioned previously, I shall be sticking to 22 for henryâs age here. it may not be fully correct, it may be a year or two off because we arenât given concrete details on exactly how long he was in jail, so just take it with a grain of salt! it's only going to remain as a rough estimate until we get a definitive answer on donovan's age.
so! henry has a talk with donovan, but the conversation itself, while very important for the plot and especially for our understanding of donovanâs character, is irrelevant for this conversation. no, what's crucial here is what henry is holding. endo even highlights it by focusing an entire larger panel on it!
it's a history textbook for year 7 students!
it being a history textbook is very poignant for the conversation they're having, but the reason this is important to me is because it's very clearly a year 7 textbook.
now, i don't know how much of eden academy's curriculum is based on the uk! but because pretty much all of the architecture of it is based on eton college and endo has literally just returned from a london trip where he showed us he visited a kindergarten, so i think that's grounds enough for me to assume eden academy's year 7 is generally populated by children between 11 and 12 years old. luckily for me, that seems to be the general age for germany's secondary school year 7 too, so even if it's not the british one, it's still close enough!
with all that being said, if donovan is, say, 12 in that moment and henry is 22, that means there is a 10 year difference between the two of them, which, drum roll please, means donovan desmond is 56 years old when our story's events take place! assuming the war of loid's and yor's childhoods took place exactly 20 years ago (when yor was 7 and henry was 46), this would make him around 36 years old when he became ostania's prime minister! it would also mean he had damian at 50 years old, and if demetrius is 12 right now, that would mean he was born when donovan was 44 years old (and his birth wouldâve been in the last years of the war).
so, rough events timeline based on all that, focusing on ages!
66 years ago: Henry Henderson is born.
63 years ago: Martha Marriott is born.
~56 years ago: Donovan Desmond is born.
49 years ago: Martha (14) transfers to Eden and meets Henry (17)
47 years ago: Henry (19) graduates Eden.
44 years ago: Henry (22) joins Eden as a teacher, in the same year becomes Donovan Desmondâs (~12) history teacher. Martha (19) graduates Eden and joins the Womenâs Defense Auxiliary.
~44 years ago: Martha (~19) is presumed dead. Henry (~22) faces jail time. The war ends, and he marries.
27 years ago: Yor is born. At that time, Henry is 39, Martha is 36, and Donovan is 29.
~27 years ago. [REDACTED] is also born. Same as above, just approximate this time!
~20 years ago: Second war begins. Yor and [REDACTED] are ~7, Henry is ~46, Martha is ~43, Donovan is ~36. Yuri is born.
~12 years ago: Demetrius is born. Donovan is ~44, Yor and [REDACTED] are ~15, Henry is ~54, Martha is ~51, Yuri is ~8.
~10 years ago: Second war ends. Demetrius is ~2, Donovan is ~46, Yor and [REDACTED] are ~17, Henry is ~56, Martha is ~53, Yuri is ~10.
6 years ago: Damian is born (and most other kids in his and Anyaâs grade). Demetrius is ~6, Donovan is ~50, Henry is 60, Martha is 57, Yor is 21, Twilight is ~21, Yuri is 14.
5-4 years ago: Anya is born. Damian (etc.) are 1-2, Demetrius is 7-8, Donovan is ~51-52, Henry is 61-62, Martha is 58-59, Yor is 22-23, Twilight is ~22-23, Yuri is 15-16.
1 year ago: Yuri (19) becomes part of the SSS. Anya is 3-4, Damian (etc.) is 5, Demetrius is 10-11, Donovan is ~55, Henry is 65, Martha is 62, Yor is 26, Twilight is ~26.
I HOPE THAT HELPS PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE?? melinda is not included bc we have nothing to go off of for her age outside of purely subjective things like her appearance.
super glad endo included the year 7 thing JAKLSDFKLSD
anyway thank you for reading!!! :DD

â VI. PRETTY AS A VINE
summary. Ever since you saw her, she hasnât left your mind, sheâs too alluring to not think about, but sheâs thought about you, as well.
includes. cairo sweet x fem!reader, praising, eating out, slight dirty talk, soft!dom!cairo, sub!reader, les-sex
âFocus.â
Her voice was soft but stern, youâd been studying with her for the past hour now, itâs around 9PM, the sun has set, the light of the lamp shining on her face, making it impossible to focus on anything else. She was ethereal, she had the prettiest eyes you could get lost in, you could look at her for hours and not get tired of it, youâd be taken for a fool if you said you werenât in love with her.
âSorry.â You said. Judging by her look at her tone of voice, you could tell she knew.
âCâmon, you know this.â She says, pointing to the question in your book.
You look down at the question. Math. Math was definitely not your favorite subject, but, you took one look, thought about it, and wrote down your answer, you look back at her, hoping you got it right.
âGood.â She says. A small wave of relief washed over you as you gave her a warm smile.
A couple more hours pass by, you look at the time. Itâs now half past 11. Youâve worked on a ton of pages, some you got wrong, some you got right, yet, somehow, that wasnât a worry for you.
âWhy donât we stop there?â She says, you were taken aback by her words, shutting your book.
âAlright then.â You say.
âWell, Iâd say you did pretty well.â She says. You were hoping she wouldnât notice you slightly blushing, so you gave her a small smile.
âThanks, Cairo, for- yâknow, doinâ this.â You say.
âAnytime, darlinâ, just call me, and Iâll be right over.â She says.
You smiled, as you studied her features, she had the sweetest smile you ever saw that made your legs weak on the spot.
Cairo reached up to move one of your loose strands of hair out of your view. âYouâre beautiful.â She says, you then scoff, looking away.
âWhat? Yâdonât believe me?â She asks.
âWell, I just think we both know whoâs better lookinââ You say, as she inches closer.
âNone of that, darlinâ.â She says, bringing her index finger to your lips.
âNone of what?â You ask.
âYâknow what.â
âOh câmon.â You scoff. âI mean- look at you.â You eyed her up and down. God, she was absolutely gorgeous. âPretty as a vine.â
âYâmean that?â She asks.
âI know that.â
She smiled, looking down, you were flattering her, and she was enjoying it.
âDo somethinâ âbout it then.â She said.
âWhat?â You heard her, and knew what she meant, but you were too flustered to do anything else.
âYâheard me.â She says. âWhy donât you do somethinâ âbout it, sweetheart?â
You didnât move.
âHere, Iâll make it easy for you.â She said, inching closer and closer to your face, your noses almost touching.
You moved in and closed the gap that separated you and her, you werenât expecting yourself to make a move, but here you were, lips on hers, on your bed.
She slithered her hands on your waist, her fingers moving in circles, it feelsâŚnice. Amazing, even.
Your hands bury into her hair, almost pulling it, you enjoyed this, but you wanted more.
âCan I show you somethinâ?â She asks, pulling away. âOnly if itâs alright with you.â
You nodded eagerly.
She smiled âAlright. Sit on the edge of the bed.â
You do as she asks, holding back your smile.
âTake these off, darlinâ.â She says.
You slip off your jeans, along with your panties, and throw them on the other side of the bed.
âJusâ tell me if youâre uncomfortable, ân Iâll stop.â She says in a low tone.
You hum a yes, nodding down at her.
Her lips then met with your entrance, as she moved her tongue up and down against your clit.
Your breathing was heavy and sharp, she was good at this.
âOh my f-â Was all you could stutter out, as her tongue began to move a bit faster than before.
Her tongue started moving in circles, you threw your head back in ecstasy, as a moan escaped your lips.
âCairo- fuck!-â You cried. The feeling of her hot mouth on your cunt felt like heaven.
She began going faster, until she was tongue fucking you.
âCairoâ donât stop- fuck!â You moaned. Almost screaming out her name.
The sounds of her sucking on your clit and your heavy breathing echoed throughout the room, it felt unreal how good she was making you feel.
âCairo, mâgonnaâŚshit!ââ
âGo ahead, darlinâ, come for me.â
You could feel yourself getting closer and closer until you finally let loose.
Your heavy breathing continues as she brings herself up to your level.
She moves multiple hair strands out of your view, as she brushed the rest of your hair with her fingertips.
"I-I wanna make you feel good, too." You say, you're eager, she likes that.
"Yeah? Y'do?" She asks.
You nod. âJusâ get this off.â
Cairo smiles, removing her white ribbon-styled dress, discarding it, putting it on the floor.
âYâlike what you see?â She said, her voice dripping with a dark tone, which was something you havenât heard before.
You didnât answer, but she knew you liked it.
âYâgotta take yours off too.â
You stifled a small laugh as you took off your shirt, and laid it on the floor.
She knew what your intentions were, but you rarely knew yourself, you were barely experienced.
You hesitated, you didnât want to embarrass yourself in front of her, you hated it.
âYâalright?â She asks.
âI- yeah, Iâm just- uh..â
âNervous?â
A beat. âYeah, a bit.â
Her lips curled into a smirk. ââS alright to be nervous, pretty girl, just go with it.â
You positioned yourself, lining up your pussy with hers, as you took a deep breath.
Cairo smiled at your effort, she put your hands on your hips, and led you through it.
âJusââŚlike that.â She says, grinding your pussy with hers, she slowly removed her hands, you didnât stop.
âYeah⌠thereâs a girlâŚthaaatâs itâŚâ She said.
You kept going, it felt good, everything about it, it felt good, and she was sure as hell enjoying it, that smirk on her face says it all.
âAtta girl, shitâ donât stop..â
You didnât.
Ecstasy was flowing through your body, everywhere, it felt amazing, the way her pussy feels against yours, you didnât want it to end.
âFuuckâŚCairo..â You moaned, your head fell forward, leaning on her shoulder.
âI know, darlinâ.â She said, her fingers tangled in your hair. âJusâ feel good against me.â
You grinded a bit faster, the room filling with your moans and groans.
Cairo couldnât help but laugh a bit, itâs only been a minute and youâre already a pro.
âDirty girlâŚâ She murmured in your ear. âBeen thinkinâ âbout this for a while, havenât you?â
You wonât admit it, but you have.
As you began moving faster than before, you could feel her grinding against you, your moans grew louder and louder than before.
âCairo!â fuck- âs too much!âŚâ
âJusâ take it, darlinâ, âs all you gotta do.â She said. âJusâ focus on me.â
You couldnât think of anything else anyway, your sexual ecstasy was taking over your body.
âJusâ keep goinâ.â She said.
You could feel yourself letting loose yet again, it felt harder this time.
âCairoâ d-donât stop- please!..â Once you said that, she knew you were reaching your highest, she didnât stop, in fact, she went faster.
You groaned as she picked up her pace.
You could feel yourself becoming undone, as you groaned, almost screaming.
You were done.
You managed to catch your breath as you climbed off her, sitting, with your head sort of hanging low.
Cairo moved closer to you, as she kissed you, softly, this one was more tender than the other ones.
âPretty girl, did so well fâme.â She whispered against your lips, god, she loved you, and you loved her, you knew it.
âWhy donât I stay?â She asks, she didnât want to leave you alone, so how could you refuse.
You nodded with a hum. As you laid back down beside her.
You felt your eyelids getting heavier by the second, until they fully closed.

Do you know if Jamil or Kalim is older? While Kalim's birthday is in June and Jamil's in September, if their in the dame school year then doesn't that mean Kalim was born in the June after the year Jamil was born? Does canon say anything about it?
Canon doesnât state one way or another; I think the devs just made everyone in the same year level generally the same age for the sake of simplicity. The differences in age that would naturally occur due to them being born in different months is not really acknowledged.
If we look at everyoneâs birthdays with the assumption that everyone in the same year is the same age at the start of the main story, then Jamil (September birthday) is older than Kalim (June birthday). Because the NRC school year begins in September, this would make Ace and Jamil, the September birthday boys, older than their respective peers at the start of the main story. That would mean Kalim must be born the summer after the year Jamil was. I think⌠(Iâll be honest here, doing math with dates is not my strong suit đ)
If youâre curiousâŚ
First Years (oldest to youngest 16-year olds):
Ace
Jack
Sebek
Epel
Deuce
Ortho
Second Years (oldest to youngest 17-year olds):
Technically Silver if you want to count him as 417 years old
Jamil (confirmed as the oldest second year in a tweet by Yana)
Jade and Floyd
Azul
Ruggie
Silver (if you want to consider him as being 17)
Kalim
Riddle
Third Years (oldest to youngest 18-year olds):
Lilia (since heâs going on 700ish now)
Malleus (since heâs confirmed to be 178 years old)
Leona (heâs 20)
Trey
Rook
Idia
Rollo (including him here because we do happen to have an official birthday for him, which is Feb 2nd)
Cater
Vil
Ages of other main story characters (birthdays not confirmed yet):
Crowley is ??? but Very Old since he has been headmaster of NRC for at least a century
Trein is 58
Crewel is 32
Falena is 30 (Leona says his brother is 10 years older)
Vargas is 30
Fellow is 26 (he says he is 20-something in Playful Land; the official profile released with his SSR confirms the specific age)
Sam is 25
Chenya is 18 (third year at RSA; estimate based on the Dwarves calling him âsenpaiâ and not yet being sent away yet for the required internship of fourth year students)
Neige is 17 (second year at RSA)
The Seven Dwarves are estimated to be 17 (since they are said to be second years; however, they might actually be much older than this since dwarves count as a type of fae)
Skully J. Graves is a first year student, so heâs ~16
Cheka is 5
We also know the ages of a few siblings, like Aceâs older brother being 23 (7 years older) or Jack having two younger siblings (an 11 year old brother and a 7 year old sister). However, since they donât appear in the main story, they are not listed here. For more information on the TWST boysâ family members, check out this post!

Chapter 1
Yandere Teacher Nanami x Student Reader
Warning: Abuse, (force) smut. Abduction, violence, rough play, toxic behavior, age gap, everything from all above. Mainly from his point of view...somewhat... modern au- ish idk. College teacher x student.
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Chapter 6
-------------------------------------------------------
The bell ringing caused all the students to pack their bags and walk out of the classroom. The janitors, of the school, sweep the empty floors of the hallways. Teachers were gathering their paperwork, making copies, and saying goodbye to other fellow mentors.
Nanami picked up the black, felt, block and started to erase the chalk from the board. All the math equations of the new lectures become just white dust falling to the ground. He closed the math textbook, feeling his eyelids wanting to shut. Another day, another day lecture that half of his students will fail at.
He shoved all the homework sheets half of the class handed, into his black, leather, briefcase. He enjoyed his job. If he didn't he wouldn't continue to be here. He liked being a teacher. He liked math. He liked to teach those who wanted to learn. quote, "Those." He would love his job even more if all of his students would actually pay attention. He wouldn't be so tired if his students would come up and ask for help when they needed it. When he saw the grades of more than 50% of his students fail their latest test, he changed his teaching ways, however, the statistics never changed. They still failed to understand the mathematical procedures of each formula that would give them the correct answer. If only they pay attention and not stare at their phones all the time. If only they take it a little seriously then maybe they would actually walk out to get their diploma.
He offered to help them as much as he could as a teacher. He stayed after school for those who needed help to come in and ask, but no one came. He gave them all a little paper booklet with specific instructions for how to use each formula to each question, yet, he kept marking f's on their test. At least is not 100% of his students, or else he wouldn't even have a job.
He did notice a pattern of those who fail. The same ones that don't even show up for half of his classes. Those who show up high. Those who show up just to chat or use their phones the whole time.
He spends more time scolding them for not listening than to teach them all the things they need. Especially after he taught them how to deal with their taxes.
His one particular class that he always has issues with. He's a teacher, he shouldn't think badly about his students, but that one class he hates the most. His 10:00am class. When his students don't listen, they don't bother to take notes. They're too busy recovering from their hangover from the party they had last night. Nanami knows what goes on with a college student. He was once a college student. Granted that he was never a party animal, he mostly focused on his grades rather than getting hammered on a Thursday night. However, he saw and heard about the wild nights his classmates had. So, he's not shed out when it comes to his students who come in with their eyes red and their hands covering their heads, trying to control their headaches.
He would enjoy his job even more if the girls actually asked for help rather than pretend they wanted help just for them to flirt with him and show their bodies off.
He would instantly tell when they wanted to have sex with him. It's no secret that he's attractive and handsome. A lot of his students would flirt with him and that includes his co-workers. Girls would come up to him with a question by leaning in, seductively, close to him to show their cleavage and wiggle their asses to show more of their cunt. All Nanami could do is to roll his eyes and tell them to go back to their seats.
He found it lame and embarrassing how easily they would want to give in just to pass a simple math class or to just sleep with him. He knows his other male co-workers are the opposite of him. They would easily go at it and fuck their students if they seduce them like that. After all, he caught his fellow colleague fucking a student in his office. His colleague was afraid of Nanami telling so out of fear, he gave him his position, as the head of the math department. Nanami didn't care nor was he going to tell, but he enjoyed the little promotion. At least he's getting something out of it.
He was honestly disappointed that this was the outcome of his career. Teaching a bunch of students math that they swear they don't need. Dealing with dumb colleagues. Dealing with women who want to have sex with him. Dealing with endless useless grading was like a slap in the face to him.
That was until he received an email. An email saying that he's going to get a new student for his 10:00am class. He rolled his eyes and groaned in annoyance. Another student who won't bother trying to understand an equation.
He didn't have any high hopes or care. Especially in his 10:00am class that he hates.
He hates it.
He has to deal with another student.
Or so he thought.
When he heard your voice. your soft-spoken voice. He perked up and saw you. You stood there with your bag hanging on your shoulder and a piece of paper in your hand. "Are you Mr. Nanami?" He didn't reply, he just nodded. He was too busy studying you. your form, the way you spoke, everything. "Okay, I'm (Y/n). The new student." To stook out your hand as he shook it. Your soft, delicate hands. "Can I sit anywhere?" He nodded again. Never once has he been so starstruck by someone, a student.
He watched closely as you picked a seat, just a row behind the first one. Still close to the front. Still close to him.
Now the class he hated the most became the one he'll love the most.

Yet Another Major Revamp: Semi-Realism Edition + make-your-own toolkit!đĽł
đ¸ DOWNLOAD: SFS
This is an edit of Phaenoh' Realistic Major to Career Linking BUT with the following BENEFITS:
đ NOT REALISTIC... BUT MAXIS-REALISM: this edit made the ideal careers for each major somewhat logical and coherent (consult the table below for the changes) yet respects the internal logic of the game because Maxis' humor is underrated, slacker and criminal are treated as serious career pathways in this game so why not đ¤Š
đ ALL MAJORS BALANCED âď¸: frustrated with the lack of benefits that some majors offer compared to others? want an easier time being a job-hopper?? what do you mean my skills aren't transferable in this market??? WELL:
All majors are now supporting at least 5 or more careers
Art [6]: Adventurer, Architecture, Artist, Culinary, Gamer, Slacker
Bio [5]: Athletic, Medicine, Natural Sci, Ocean, Science
Drama [6]: Athletic, Dance, Entertainment, Law, Politics, ShowBiz
Econ [5]: Business, Criminal, Music, Politics, Show Biz
History [5]: Adventurer, Artist, Law, Military, Politics
Lit [6]: Artist, Edu, Entertainment, Journalism, Law Enf, Music
Math [6]: Business, Culinary, Edu, Gamer, Natural Sci, Science
Philo [5]: Culinary, Law Enf, Music, Paranormal, Slacker
Physics [5]: Athletic, Dance, Medicine, Ocean, Science
PolSci [5]: Intelligence, Journalism, Law, Military, Politics
Psych [6]: Architecture, Business, Criminal, Edu, Intelligence, Paranormal
All careers are now supported by 2 or more majors, only the Politics career is supported by 4 (cause Maxis' choice was so good I didn't want to touch it!)
8 careers that require degree (only available for graduate): Architecture, Education, Intelligence, Law, Medicine, Nat Sci, Oceanography, Science.
đ OTHER INFOS:
đ You'll need UNI EP đ
Credits: Phaenoh (for the base mod I edited and the tutorial!), SimPE
Conflicts:
mods that lock/unlock degree requirement like Lamare's getUniCareerWithoutEducation
any mods do the same thing (Belladovah's, Phaenoh's & Cyjon's) which you might want to consider shopping around first before picking mine so look below đď¸đđ
also conflicts with lauratje86's but their mod works with default replacement majors so it can't be covered here, check it out though!
note: Cyjon altered some majors' names and skill requirements (he also hates Philosophy methinks), Phaenoh offers a different version that changes which career requires degree (just like mine but ADDED Business), Belladovah offers Education version in which every major benefits the Education career.
đ MOD RESOURCE: Linking Maxis Majors & Degrees to Maxis Career Toolkit đĽł

I'm still too distracted to write so here have a list of YJ-cast centric fics that make me froth at the mouth
Kon-centric recs:
I Want It That Way (1990s Tim/Kon) by WynterSky / @wynterstars -- A revamped, 90s-style Superboy origin story with added Lex Luthor AND a lil bit of 90s Robin for spice and flavor. Honestly, this whole series is so elite -- goes hard with the Superboy mythos + angst PLUS the third fic leans hard into the secret identity shenanigans in a way that'd make Miraculous Ladybug jealous. The first fic splits its attention between Tim and Kon, but the latter two are solidly Kon-centric
one plus one (easy math) by connerdrakewayne / @comphetkoncass -- Cassandra Cain and Kon go to a gala together. I'm always a sucker for a good Cass + Kon friendship. This one's very short and sweet, and it gets the job done -- 10/10 would read again
a timeline can be a haunted house by connerdrakewayne -- post-universal reset Kon angst + terrible coping mechanisms! This one goes so hard I read it three times. Tbh this author has an excellent handle on Kon as a character in general, so I honestly recommend just checking out their whole fic stash
Tim-centric recs:
Top 10 Secret Identity Fails by @havendance -- Tim's new English teacher is his on-again-off-again superhero teamup Helena Bertinelli (aka the Huntress). This one's just fun, okay -- the whole thing reads like it could be straight out of Tim's 1993 solo run, plus I love the dynamic between him and Helena. Overall just a very cool vibe
only the dead stay 17 forever by Sky_Dust (couldn't find their tumblr sorry) -- Listen, I've really been restraining myself here, because I realize my love for time-travel bullshit is not universal, but I genuinely couldn't not include this one. This bad boy is a Tim-centric time-loop featuring a seriously unhinged Tim -- definitely a darker tone, but I can't stop rereading it
Bart-centric recs:
reflections on respawning: a gamer's uncertainty by merils / @mamawasatesttube -- Bart has a hard conversation about his death and subsequent resurrection (feat. Kon) man, I just vibe with this one so hard. It's such a thoughtful take on Bart's more contemplative side, while still managing to keep his personality intact
the backlash to the backlash to the thing that's just begun by @kermit-coded -- trans/gnc impulse my beloved <3 also we get some funky Max & Bart bonding, made much rawer and more real by the fact that it's the 90s and nobody knows what they're doing. Again, feels like it's straight out of Bart's solo series
Cassie-centric recs:
you and I, we are more than just this armor by @suzukiblu -- KonCassie bonding + gender feels. They're both so trans in this, and the author does a great job of really digging deep into their complicated feelings (both about gender and about each other)
(also PLEASE somebody give me more Cassie-centric fic recs I'm literally begging you)
Team recs
I'm all yours but you're all mine by suzukiblu -- Poly Core 4 Soulmates AU! Essentially, everybody gets their 'soulmark'/soulmate-identifier (not really, but the best word) right when Kon wakes up in his pod, and because Superboy hasn't really made his big splash yet, they misidentify their soulmate as Superman; this is an issue mainly because 1) they're all 14-15 and Superman is roughly 30-ish, and 2) by the time this fic takes place, Superman is pretty verifiably dead. Currently in-progress, but this is such an interesting and fun take on the usual soulmates trope. I pinky promise you won't regret reading it
Love, Not Loved series by @popsunner -- hoooomygod this series makes me cry literally every time I read it, it's genuinely one of the most realistic representations of grief I've seen on AO3. Basically explores the general fucked-up-edness of pretty much the whole YJ Core 4 Squad dying one by one, with each fic focusing on a different funeral (complete with survivor's guilt, regular guilt, and just plain old complicated feelings). We get Cassie feels, we get Tim feels, we get Bart + Kon feels -- it's the whole shebang. Don't worry -- there's a happy ending eventually, but you def gotta work for it. This series beat me up and stole my lunch money and I'd happily do it all over again
Lost the Last Piece of Me by InsaneTrollLogic / @last01standing -- YJ Core 4 Animorphs AU! I'm sad to say I've never read the original Animorphs series, but every single Animorphs AU I've ever read has been such high quality. Unsurprisingly (I love this author, okay), this fic is no exception to that rule. Solid alien-invasion plot, character driven, and the world-building is explained well enough that even a newbie like me can understand (feat. some TimKon, but it's not the main focus)
Ikonoclast by anantipodean (couldn't find a tumblr) -- Tim and Kon get sent to an alternate reality that's almost (but not quite) like their own. This one's just fun for me -- I love the TimBart buildup and the worldbuilding on the other Earth is a funky time. Also, the other universe's Tim is goth and absolutely cannot stand mainstream-reality Tim, and I find that extremely funny for some reason
#fic recs#im @ing the authors bc i know i always appreciate it when people tell me one of my fics has gotten recced#timkon#koncassie#timbart#young justice#young just us#tim drake red robin#kon el conner kent superboy#cassie sandsmark wonder girl#bart allen impulse#yj98 core four#dc comics#best hits tag#<< putting this here bc tumblr isnt letting me find it under my fic recs tag#kon tag#tim tag#cassie tag#bart tag

Let me know if youâd like to be tagged! đĽ°
đ All of my writing can be found HERE! đ
Is it a story worth telling? I think so. Itâs better than nothing. Itâs better than watching raindrops slither down the cracked concrete walls until the prison guards come back to bloody us again.
Today Iâm sending John McCain taps in the shape of the tale of Io. John has a hard time tapping backâtheyâre doing something to his shoulders, theyâre destroying himâbut he likes to listen. Heâs getting it a lot worse than I am; perhaps even the North Vietnamese fear Aemondâs retribution if I die here. They should be afraid of him. He thinks he owns everything he touches, and heâll snap bones to keep it.
So anyway, Io was a kingâs daughter, a mortal who Zeus saw and wanted and took when her father kicked her out to avoid the godâs wrath. Thatâs easily half of Greek mythology, right? Zeus appears, irrevocably fucks up someoneâs life, vanishes in a plume of clouds and thunder. He leaves human rubble behind him: ribs, nerves, disembodied hearts that leak blood from torn ventricles, minds broken in two. Zeus impregnated Io and then turned her into a cow to hide her from his wife Hera, ever-watchful, ever-vengeful, an aspiring mass murderess. When this disguise failed, Hera condemned Io to wander ceaselessly through the wilderness, tormented by the constant stinging of a gadfly. Eventually, Zeus returns Io to human form and she pops out a few bastard kids, as if Zeus needs any more of those. Then he ditches her and she marries some Egyptian dude. There are other details that Iâve forgotten. I donât think John McCain will know the difference.
Iâm sure youâre wondering how I acquired all this fabled trivia. I donât seem like the type to lie around under trees reading folklore from religions that died thousands of years ago. Youâre right, Iâm not. But Aemond is. He would tell the stories, and Helaena would embroider scenes on quilts for us to burrow under in the winter, and I would dramatically act out the best parts (mostly murders), and Aegon would scribble comics in jagged black pen strokes. He has all these notebooks down in the basement filled with his new versions of ancient myths: Poseidon as a horny dolphin, Aphrodite as Marilyn Monroe.
Wait, I remember what I skipped. While Io was roaming across the globe, she bumped into Prometheusâchained to a rock for giving humans the gift of fireâand he cheered her up somehow. I guess meeting a guy who gets his liver continuously chewed out by a giant eagle would make me more appreciative of my circumstances too.
I have a lot of time to myself here in solitary confinement. My social circle is microscopic. I tap to John through the wall, I have dinner dates with Tessarion the rat. And I think about my family. Theyâre fucked up, but I miss them. I miss going to Monmouth Park with Fosco to bet on horse races, I miss getting hammered with Aegon while he sings Johnny Cash or Beatles songs. I miss my mother and Helaena and Criston. I even miss Aemondâs wife, though I only met her a few times before I deployed. Sheâs sharp, sheâs hilarious. Sheâs mean as hell to Aegon, and sometimes he deserves it.
At first I wondered why Aemond hasnât gotten me out yet, but I understand now. It sounds a lot better to have a brother being tortured as a prisoner of war than one who received a Get Out Of Jail Free card. Itâs the kind of thing Aemond would consider. He understands which stories are worth telling.
I feel kind of bad for her. Aemondâs wife, I mean.
I donât think she knows about Alys.
~~~~~~~~~~
On a chilly mid-September morning cloaked in fog, Mimi is laid to rest in the Targaryen family mausoleum at Saint George Greek Orthodox Cemetery in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Most of the golden plaques already have names chiseled into them: Viserys and Alicent, Fosco and Helaena. Aegon will one day be interred beside his wife. You have a spot reserved next to Aemond. All of you have already lived and died and been entombed; all of this was predestined by the stars eons before you had blood or bones.
Ariâs vaultâan unnaturally tiny drawer, less than half the size of anyone elseâsâis located just above yours. You canât stop staring at it. You canât hear anything the bearded priest in his black robes is chanting. Then Cosmo squeezes your hand and you look down at him. Mimiâs other children are somber but seem to be coping well enoughâthey are used to being raised by consensus, they would probably be more affected if one of the nannies diedâbut Cosmo always wants to be near you. He gazes up with those vast, wet, murky blue eyes, so much like Aegonâs, and you offer him a sad, reassuring smile. Cosmo smiles back. And you think: Life goes on.
Alicent is sniffling noisily; it echoes off the walls of the mausoleum. Cristonâa man with no plaque assigned to himâis trying to console her. Aegon is watching you from across the cold granite chamber, grim and red-eyed in his black suit, the first time you can remember seeing him in one since your wedding. He wears no small gold hoops, only a row of stitches in his right ear. He wants to say something, to do something, but he canât. Aemond is beside you, a hand heavy on your waist but muttering something to Otto. Back in Omaha, Otto had spent a few hours alone with the medical examiner, and when the death certificate was issued it revealed that Mimi died of a heart defect, a perfectly blameless sort of misfortune, an innate impending disaster. And so thatâs what the newspapers printed, and any gossip to the contrary is confined to salacious rumors, untrustworthy and unproven.
When the ceremony is over, journalists are waiting to scavenge for photos and quotes under the guise of expressing their sympathies. Itâs a shameless display, though they at least have the decency to wait by the cemetery gates. Aemond and Otto go to meet them. Alicent, Criston, Helaena, and Fosco, protective of the children, keep them far away from the feeding frenzy, hungry-eyed reporters like sharks without fins. Ludwika is reapplying her lipstick. Aegon is smoking a Lucky Strike and talking to his oldest son, Orion, a stilted exchange that holds the promise of turning warm with time.
You sit on a stone bench and Cosmo curls up beside you, rests his head in your lap, dozes off as you thread your fingers through his wavy blonde hair. In the mist there are shadows of gravestones and trees that turn skeletal as they shed their leaves.
âHe is okay?â Fosco says as he ambles over, meaning Cosmo. He has his hands in the pockets of his slim black trousers that stop at his ankles. His suit is velvet, his eyeglasses speckled with drizzle from the slate-grey sky.
âHeâs alright. Heâs resting. Are you okay?â
âOh,â Fosco sighs mournfully. âI keep thinking someone is missing. We came into this family together, Mimi and I. We got married six months apart. I have never had to do this without her. And I know she had her problems, but she was different when she was younger. She always liked a party, thatâs why she and Aegon got along so well at first. But she was so loud and so funny, always telling these long stories, and everyone in the room would be grinning as they waited for the good part. Viserys loved her. Otto loved her. And then she had all those children one after the other, and that was hard, and Aegon self-destructed when he was the mayor of Trenton, and that was worse, and she was supposed to fix him and she couldnât, the harder she tried the farther he ran from her. She started drinking her Gimlets before dinner, and then after lunch, and by the time you showed up it was never ending. But that wasnât who she really was. She was like a moon that got smaller and smaller until the only thing left was a sliver.â
This family breaks people. This family kills people. âWeâll make ossi dei morti for Mimi tonight. Iâll help you, and we can teach the kids.â
Fosco smiles, swipes a tear from beneath his glasses, squeezes your shoulder with one wiry hand. âI am very glad you are still here.â
âIâm not trying to race you to that mausoleum.â
Fosco laughs. And then he says as he spies Aegon approaching: âUmâŚI will go avoid the paparazzi somewhere else.â
âYou donât have to leave, Fosco.â
âIt is no trouble. And I suspect you enjoy your very rare privacy.â Fosco gives you a knowing glace and then heads back to where Helaena, Alicent, and Criston are lingering with the rest of the children. Now Ludwika is fluffing her blonde curls with her French tips, a smoldering Camel cigarette tucked between two fingers.
Aegon comes to you through the mist, plops onto the bench, and looks fondly down at Cosmoânow fast asleep, his face smooth and peacefulâbefore he speaks. âI canât grasp that sheâs really gone. We barely spoke for years, but she was always there, you know? Christ, she deserved better than this. She could have been happy somewhere else.â
âYour children need you.â Itâs not the first time youâve said it, but itâs the first time he believes you. He nods, staring out into the fog. âThey have to get away from this whole circus for a while. And you have to learn how to be a real parent.â
âIâll have time to work on it. Iâm staying here. Iâve already been informed.â
You are alarmed. âWhat? By who?â
âAemond and Otto.â Aegon says. âWhen the rest of you fly west, my kids and I will be at Asteria.â
âTheyâre getting you off the campaign trail,â you realize.
âTheyâre putting me on house arrest.â
Not seeing Aegon, not being near him? How long can I stand that? âIâm sure youâre relieved. You hate the grandstanding and the media.â
He shakes his head, running his fingers through his hair. âI donât want to leave you alone.â
âI wonât be alone. I have Fosco and Ludwika.â
âIâll talk to them.â
âAbout what?â
âAbout the fact that they need to look out for you.â
âAegon, Iâve been doing the political wife thing for over two years.â
âBut itâs different now.â
Heâs right, it is.
âYouâll call, wonât you?â he asks. âYouâll let me know how the trip is going, youâll tell me if anything bad happens? Because I can always get on a plane and meet you wherever you are. Otto might pay someone to murder me, but Iâd risk it.â
âOf course Iâll call.â
âHey.â Gently, he turns your face so you canât hide from him. âWill you be okay without me?â
I have to be. I donât have a choice. Instead you reply: âIâll miss the weed.â
The tension breaks and Aegon smiles, and then he pats your cheek twice with his open palm. âBehave yourself.â He waves Ludwika over, interrupting her meditative chain smoking.
âWhat, what?â Ludwika says. âAre we leaving soon? Yes, it is so sad what happened to Mimi, but us standing around in the rain wonât resurrect her. And I look terrible in black.â
âI canât be there for the last leg of the campaign.â Aegon points to you. âI need you to pay attention and check in with her at least a few times a day.â
âThis is a common request. I should get a degree in it so I can charge people.â
Aegon furrows his brow at her. âWhat are you talking about?â
Ludwika smirks as she puffs on her Camel. âYou are not the first person to ask me to keep an eye on her.â She nods subtly towards Aemond, then sashays off to give a quote to the journalists.
~~~~~~~~~~
In San Diego, Aemond meets with residents of a new public housing complex to hear their concerns about neighborhood jobs and infrastructure. In San Jose, he visits labor activist Caesar Chavezâbeing treated for debilitating back pain at OâConnor Hospitalâand expresses support for the ongoing boycott of all grapes produced in the state. In Sacramento, he attends a Jimi Hendrix concert and receives a standing ovation from the audience; the next day he joins high school students protesting for a more inclusive curriculum. In Oregon, he makes a speech at Portland State University acknowledging the tremendous cost of the Vietnam Warâin money, in time, in bloodâand pledges to begin dismantling U.S. involvement as soon as he is sworn into office in January. Aemond talks about hope and despair, the bleak reality and the American Dream, and he is so overwhelmed by the crowd that he doesnât even notice when someone takes his cufflinks as souvenirs. His lack of concern for his own safety exasperates Criston, but Aemond canât be convinced to increase his security or his distance. If he expects the disaffected masses to carry him to the White House, he has to be real to them.
âWhat if another Wallace supporter tries to shoot you?â Criston demands. âWhat if a Nixon stooge stabs you or a crowd tramples you?â
âNo one can kill me,â Aemond says, grinning wryly. âIâm not supposed to die yet. Iâm supposed to be the president. It is Godâs will.â And how can anybody disagree when that appears to be so true?
The earth dies as you drive north, summer withering into autumn. That familiar brisk cuttingness reappears in the air. You shake thousands of hands, smile for countless photographs. Mothers and wives of dead soldiers sob into your shoulder as you embrace them; teenage girls ask how they can get a good man like Aemond. Only one thing is missing from his glorious pilgrimage: something he wants desperately, something he cannot have (though heâll never know why), you conceiving his child in time to announce it before Election Day. Each morning you sneak a pill and every night you bite the bullet. As often as you can, you duck into Dairy Queens to order lemon-lime Mr. Mistys.
George Wallace is in the South, galvanizing segregationists and accepting the endorsement of the Ku Klux Klan. Richard Nixon is working his way across the Midwest. He has chosen a politically moderate Greek as a running mate, Spiro Agnew; this does not strike you as a coincidence. He even shares a name with Aegonâs second son.
Nixon promises âpeace with honorâ in Vietnam, which means no immediate end to the draft. He makes speeches about âstatesâ rightsâ and âlaw and order,â ambiguous euphemisms designed to attract Wallaceâs white supremacists without alienating too many suburban moderates. He commiserates with those lamenting the proliferation of sex, drugs, and divorce. He says he will return the nation to a more moral time. You wonder what he means. You canât think of any such refuge in the bloodletting, spine-crushing history of mankind.
A kindergarten teacher tells you in Olympia, Washington, her eyes alight with reverence usually reserved for heroes, saints, gods: âPeople are voting for Aemond, but theyâre voting for you too.â
And you find yourself thinking as a thousand miles roll by beyond the glass of limousine windows: How many people will I condemn if I donât help Aemond win? How many lives is mine worth?
~~~~~~~~~~
The Hotel Sorrento in Seattle insists on giving you and Aemond the honeymoon suite: a retreat from the breakneck campaign, a romantic oasis for the future president and first ladyâŚaccording to half the country, anyway. You are in the impractically large pink bathtub, surrounded by snowy dunes of bubbles. The wall to your right is a mirror, foggy around the edges; just a few yards to your left is the king-sized bed. In the top drawer of your nightstand is the card Aegon gave you in July. You arenât sure where Aemond is, and you donât especially care. You are relieved to be alone.
Thereâs a passion-red phone built into the rim of the tub, conveniently located for sudden room service revelations, champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries, steak and lobster. You have a different idea. Itâs 7:15 p.m. here, so after 10 on the East Coast. On the steam-slick keypad, you dial the number for the main house at Asteria.
Eudoxia picks up and demands gruffly: âGeiĂĄ sou? Ti?â
âHi, Doxie. Is Aegon around?â
âWhere else would he be? Making himself useful somehow? Killing communists, driving a rocket to the moon? No. He is a burden as always.â
âPlease be nice to him. His wife just died.â
âAnd so he cannot put his empty cups in the sink?â Without waiting for a reply, she sets the handset down on the kitchen counter with a clunk. There is distant, muffled shouting in Greek; she seems to back and forth with somebody. Then Eudoxia returns. âAntio sas,â she says, and hangs up just as a phone elsewhere in the house is lifted from its cradle.
Aegon answers with something halfway between a groan and a yawn. âYeah?â
âHey, itâs me.â
âHey!â You can hear it riding the wire like electricity: a rustling as he sits up, a fresh clarity in his skull. His voice is deep, hushed, still husky with sleep. âWhatâs up, little Io? Any interesting happenings to report from your neighborhood of the solar system?â
âI just left a riveting tea party. Apple cinnamon scones and smoked salmon sandwiches. We talked about what kind of couches I should get for the White House and I wanted to kill myself. Are the kids okay?â
Heâs smiling; you can tell. âTheyâre alright. I could have used you this afternoon. I was trying to help Spiro with his math homework. Trying, not succeeding.â
âWell heâs in middle school and thus beyond your skill.â
âHowâs Jupiter?â
You know who he means. âI donât want to talk about Aemond.â
âOkay.â Aegon says, curious. âSo what should we talk about?â
A few seconds tick by, silent and perilous. âWhere are you right now?â
âIn my lair. Like a beast.â
âAlone?â
A transitory pause. âAt the moment.â
âOn the shag carpet or your futon?â
Now heâs very intrigued. âFuton. Why?â
âI just want a visual.â Beneath the water, your free hand is resting on the velvety inside of your thigh.
âWhere are you?â Aegon asks.
âYou wouldnât believe it.â
âMaybe I want a visual too.â
You chuckle, peeking over at yourself in the mirror. Your skin is dewy with steam; stray wisps of hair stick to your face. âIâm in a gigantic pink bathtub. Itâs ridiculous, itâs shaped like a heart and everything. They have a phone installed right here in case I find myself in desperate need of filet mignon.â
âOh.â And then he hesitates, like heâs afraid to say the wrong thing. âBig enough for two?â
âMore like five. You should get a tub like this for your basement, it would delight the campaign staffers.â
âMy basementâs been pretty empty recently.â
Softly, vulnerably, glass offered for him to shatter: âYou arenât seeing other girls?â
âNah, babe. I want something they canât give me.â
You picture him, messy hair falling over his forehead, drowsy eyes that gleam with clandestine wisdom. You can smell the smoke and rum that bleeds from his skin. âI wish you were here.â
âIn Seattle?â
âNo. Right here.â
Aegon exhales shakily, swallows, takes a few seconds to collect himself. âHowâs the water?â
âExtremely hot and full of bubbles.â
âSo I wouldnât be able to see you.â
âNo,â you say, baiting him.
âBut I could touch you.â
âYou already have.â
âNot enough,â he murmurs. âNowhere close to enough.â
âDo you remember what I felt like?â
âOh God,â he whispers, and you envision him closing his eyes, rubbing his face with the open palm of his left hand. âYeah. Of course I do. I canât get it out of my head. But Iâve been trying not toâŚyou knowâŚit felt wrong to think about you that way unless you were cool with it. Like I was betraying your trust or taking advantage of you or something.â
âNo, I want you to think about me.â
You can hear Aegon moving around on the green futon, repositioning himself, yanking down a zipper. When he speaks again, his breathing is quick and jagged. âWhereâs your other hand, huh?â
âUnder the water,â you reply coyly.
âYou bitch,â he says, laughing. âI miss you so fucking much. The house isnât right without you in it. You belong here, you belong where I am.â
Beneath the veil of bubbles and steam, there is no scar on your belly, no infidelity, no campaign, no distance of almost 3,000 miles separating you and Aegon. Your fingers slip between your legs, finding slickness the water canât wash away. Itâs a familiar sensation, though you havenât felt it in a while: rising steadily until you hit a plateau like a jet reaching cruising altitude. From here, it will either glide along smoothly until it dies out, or eventually turn sharp and painful. âTell me about you,â you pant.
He can hear it in your voice, a needful surrender that sets him on fire. He canât believe this is happening; he never wants it to end. âI mean, IâmâŚIâm insanely hard.â
âStroke yourself, imagine itâs me. I wish it could be me.â
âOh fuck,â Aegon whimpers. âOkay, okayâŚI want you. I want you with my fingers, I want you with my tongue, I want you to beg for it, and thenâŚâ
Impossibly, incomparably, your own pleasure is climbing faster than you can reconcile yourself to it, no longer a hunger but a violent aching, a crushing gravity you canât fight against, a ship being dragged to the floor of the ocean. Whatâs happening? When will it end? You moan into the phone, amazed yet petrified. You canât get enough air; it feels like drowning, like dying.
âI need to see you,â Aegon says. Heâs close to the climax that you know men experience, he has to be; heâs gasping. âI need to be with you, let me give you what you want.â
âI want you to finish inside me.â
âIoâŚbabeâŚoh my God, youâre gonna kill meâŚâ
There are sounds out in the front room of the suite: a lock clicking, footsteps, keys and a wallet tossed onto the kitchenette counter. Youâre so consumed you almost donât notice. Aemond is back. Aemond is back!! And every ion of your ascending euphoria evaporates. âGotta go, bye.â
âWaitâ!â
You hang up just as Aemond is opening the bedroom door. He walks inâimmaculately tailored dark blue suit, polished black leather shoes trampling soft pink carpetâand turns to you. He has already taken his glass eye out and put on his eyepatch. Vaguely, fleetingly, you wonder where heâs been. His gaze darts to the red phone, your fingerprints in the condensation. âWho were you talking to?â
âMy parents.â
If Aemond doubts this, he doesnât show it. He crosses the room, sits on the edge of the bathtub, peers down at you with an omniscient metallic glint in his eye. Heâs always been less a man than a force of nature. âI know this year has been hell.â
You envision Persephone being stolen by Hades, Orpheus searching for his dead wife Eurydice, Charon ferrying souls across the River Styx. âYou havenât made it easier.â
Thereâs a flash of something in his scarred face, blazing and instantaneous like lightning, and then it fades. He reaches out to touch your hair, swept up and neatly bound with clips and pins. âWe canât forget everything weâve accomplished together,â Aemond says. âI still need you. Youâre my Aphrodite.â
Heâs going to tell you to get out of the tub, to lie down on the bed, to open yourself so he can fill you. You distract him, forestalling the inevitable. Each morning Prometheus dreads the return of the eagle that pecks out his liver; as every summer ends Demeter mourns the loss of Persephone. âAny luck with Nixon?â
Aemond sighs, furious, brooding. âHe still wonât agree to a debate. Wallace is onboard, heâs rabid for it, heâd show up if we held it in the fucking asteroid belt, any opportunity to spew his idiocy. But not Nixon.â
âBecause he knows standing on the same stage as you can only hurt him. People thought he looked bad in 1960, can you imagine now? Television has gotten so much clearer. Theyâll be able to count his sweat drops from their living room couches.â
âSo how do I get him to do it?â
You look up at Aemond. Itâs not a hypothetical question; heâs really asking for advice.
âI have to debate Nixon,â Aemond insists. âItâs close in the polls, which means it will be even closer on Election Day. Iâll underperform whatever is projected, my coalition is less likely to show up when it counts. College kids, hippies, transients. Thatâs just a fact. But the old people vote. The suburban housewives vote. Nixonâs resting on his political experience and accusations that Iâm a communist, an agent of chaos. But I could slaughter him in an hour on ABC.â
You think of the mutilated Vietnam veterans waving their signs and screaming at LBJ from the other side of the wrought-iron gates of the White House. âChallenge him in public. Say that the American people deserve to see the candidates debate, and do it where everyone can hear you.â
âWhat if Nixon still refuses?â
âThen you call him a coward. You say he must have something to hide. You ask how heâs supposed to square up with the Russians and the Chinese if he canât even face you.â
Aemond grins admiringly. âYouâre vicious.â And he lifts your hand from the rim of the tub so he can kiss your knuckles. Once you licked up drops of his approval like Tantalus, cursed with eternal thirst. Now it is poison that turns your veins black.
âIf thereâs a debate, everyone should go,â you say, seized by sudden inspiration. âWe should have a united front, including Aegon. It can be his return to the public eye. A month will have passed since the funeral, the timing is right. He can pose for a few photos with the kids to show the nation that theyâre doing well and distract from any lingering rumors about Mimi.â
Aemond isnât grinning anymore. Heâs studying you with his cold blue gaze; no, heâs trying to intimidate you, to overpower you. âOtto and I will decide what to do with him.â
âHeâs a Targaryen. He should be with the rest of us.â
Aemond stands and motions for you to follow, a snap of his wrist like a man calling a dog. âItâs late. Letâs go to bed.â
Panic, tension, an iron sinking in your belly. The water is only lukewarm now, but you donât want to leave it. âIâm not done yet.â
âYes you are.â
Thereâs nothing else to say. Legally, a wifeâs flesh is one with her husbandâs. You slip as you step out of the bathtub, and Aemond grabs your forearm. Not like heâs helping you; like youâre something he owns.
~~~~~~~~~~
Two knocks, swift and forceful. âHey, itâs me. You ready? Everyone else is downstairs in the lobby waiting for the limos.â
You hurry to open the door, almost twisting your ankle as you stumble in your heels. Theyâre an inch higher than what youâre used to. Aemond chose them, and your dress too, and your sapphire teardrop earrings, and the silver chains around your wrist and throat, and your future and your past, and your life itself. Itâs mid-October, and the night of what will almost certainly be the sole presidential debate of 1968. Aemondâs retinue is staying at the Hotel Saint Louis. Itâs harvest time, the fields beyond the city being reaped of their soybeans, wheat, corn, cotton, and rice, the beef cattle culled in mechanical underworlds. Aegonâs flight must have just landed.
As soon as he sees you his eyes drop, wide and bewitched, ensnared everywhere except your face. You say: âCan you help me zip this, please?â
He blinks a few times, then shakes it off. âSorry, what?â
âThe zipperâs stuck. I need you to get it.â
âYeah. Sure.â He steps into the suite and stands behind you. The gown is a vivid blue like the Greek flag, gorgeous and shimmering but a size too small. It wasnât tight a week ago, but now it is, and you arenât pregnant just always gaining and losing weight in new places, first the baby and then the pill, and it wouldnât bother you if Aemond didnât seem so confounded by it. Aegon says as he tugs at the zipper: âI donât think itâs gonna fit, babe.â
âIt has to fit.â
âEven if I miraculously get this closed, you wonât be able to breathe.â
âDo whatever you have to. JustâŚjustâŚâ You push every last molecule of air out of your lungs, suck in your belly, and you hear the triumphant squeal of the zipper. âYes!â Oh, but Aegon was right: you really canât breathe. âOkay. Letâs go.â
âYouâre not gonna last the whole debate in that. Youâll be sweating more than Nixon.â
âIâm fine.â
âIoâŚâ
âIâm fine. Come on.â You snatch your matching purse off the coffee table by the couch, check your makeup one last time, and hobble in your heels as you walk with Aegon out into the hallway.
At the Kiel Auditorium a few blocks away, the Targaryen childrenâAegonâs five and Helaenaâs threeâare presented for photographs before being escorted back to the hotel by the nannies. And even in the few weeks that have passed since you last saw Aegonâs kids, there have been extraordinary changes. They talk to their father, and he talks back, and he ruffles their hair and rests his hands on their shoulders and asks them about what theyâre learning from their private tutors. Cosmo tackles you before he leavesâa powerful bear hug, though he can only reach your legsâand he says he hopes youâre coming home to Asteria soon.
âMe too, kiddo,â Aegon tells him, and then smiles at you; but above his gleam of teeth his cloudy blue eyes, like the Atlantic in a storm, are gloomy and troubled.
As the audience takes their seats and the journalists are poised to capture the best images and quotes of the night, the three candidates and their wives (minus Wallaceâs dear departed Lurleen) meet briefly backstage to exchange the perfunctory well-wishes. Pat Nixon is introverted and bookish, though she tries to hide it; but Aemond reels her in like swordfish until her eyes are filled with him. George Wallace gets one glimpse of your venomous glare and escapes, claiming to need one last trip to the restroom before the debate begins. But Richard Nixon beckons you to accompany him to a quiet, discrete corner of the room.
âI tried to call,â he says. Heâs a remarkably normal man: medium height, receding dark hair, rough voice, weathered skin, not a god but a mortal, andâyou have the impressionâmore aware of his flaws than his fiercest critics will ever be. âBut no one at that damned beach house would ever put me through to you.â
You arenât sure what he means. âOh?â
âI never got the opportunity to tell you how sorry I was for your loss in July, Mrs. Targaryen,â Nixon says with unglamorous, plain, genuine compassion. âPat and I, when we heard, we wept for you. We truly did. And for your husband to be clear across the countryâŚI canât even imagine. It must have been awful for you. A parent never gets over something like that. It stays with you like a scar.â
âIt does,â you say softly.
âI lost two brothers. Arthur died when he was seven, tuberculosis killed Harold in his twenties. God, it just about destroyed my mother. Youâre a remarkable woman. Youâre lightning in a bottle for Aemond, do you know that? Youâre like one of those Kennedy gals, but even better. More personable than Jackie. More intelligent than EthelâŚalthough, to be frank, who wouldnât be? And youâre not afflicted with any ghastly vices like Tedâs wife Joan. What would Aemond do without you? Heâd lose, thatâs what heâd do.â
Nixonâs smart, but heâs wounded. Heâs capable, but heâs so desperate to prove it. Power could ruin a man like this. âYouâre very kind, sir. You did some great work under Eisenhower. Self-made like my father was, a devotee of the American Dream. I believe you have an important role to play in this countryâŚâ You smirk, a bit mischievously. âJust not as the president.â
Nixon chortles. âNo matter what happens tonight, rest assured that I hate Reagan more than I could ever dislike your husband,â he says, meaning the Republican governor of his home state of California. âYou know that bastard tried to primary me?â
âActors donât belong in politics.â
âI couldnât agree more,â Nixon says, and then bids you farewell as the lights turn blinding and the curtain begins to rise.
As soon as the adrenaline begins to fade, all you can think about is that you canât breathe. You take your seat in the audience between Aegon and Ludwika, who wonât stop making jabs about Nixon: âHe looks like a troll,â âHe looks like a sasquatch,â âDo you think Pat makes him wear a  Creature from the Black Lagoon mask in bed so she is not so repulsed by him?â The most you can offer is an occasional distracted nod in response.
âYou alright?â Aegon whispers.
âYeah.â
âYou donât look alright.â
âIâm great.â
âSure,â he says, and he acts like heâs teasing, but thereâs something tremendously sad underneath. He canât save you from this. He canât save you from anything. What must that feel like?
On the debate stageâbroadcast to a national audienceâAemond performs brilliantly. Nixon salvages what could have been a bloodbath with a handful of clever retorts that Aemond pretends not to be rattled by. The real loser of the night is Wallace, who is brutally attacked by them both: Nixon because Wallace is commandeering some of his voting bloc, and Aemond because of his near-assassination back in May. After an hour, the contest concludes and the candidates descend to the main floor to pose for photos and get lassoed into brief interviews with various journalists. Everyone in Aemondâs entourage besides you and Aegon flock to his side. By now youâre gasping in shallow gulps, close to tears and in agony from your ribs to your wobbling feet.
âI told you,â Aegon says. And then: âCome on. Weâll take the first limo back.â
In the front room of your hotel suiteâone yellowish end table lamp glowing dimly, the rest of the space like twilightâAegon wrestles with the zipper as you struggle for every breath, trying not to pass out. âOw,â you whine. âOh fuck, this was so stupidâŚâ
âDonât let him make you wear shit you donât want to wear.â
âI have to do what he says, Aegon.â
âHe doesnât own you.â
âLegally, he does.â
Heâs tugging futilely at the jammed zipper. âAre you planning on using this again?â
âI believe that would be wistful thinking.â
âYou probably look better out of it anyway.â He grabs his Zippo lighter from the pocket of his emerald green suit jacket and flicks it to life. âDonât move, okay?â
âOkay.â
âAt all.â
âGot it.â
You can feel heat, intense but not painful. Aegon has pulled the edge of the fabric as far away as he can from your skin and is singeing it until it turns black and charred and brittle. Then he tucks the lighter back into his pocket and with both hands rips your dress down to the small of your back. Cool air rushes to meet the ridge of your spine; goosebumps prickle all over. Aegon is marveling at you; you can see it when you glance over your shoulder at him. Then he lays a palm against your bare skin, leans into you, inhales everything youâve ever been: smoke and sex and starlight, strategies, shadows, secrets.
The others will be pouring into the hallway from the elevator any minute. Aemond. Aemond could find us.
âWe canât,â you whisper, hating yourself for it.
Aegon kisses the nape of your neckâso slow, so kindâand then goes to the doorway. You wait for him to leave, but he doesnât. Heâs looking at you as you hold up the ruined gown so it covers your belly and your chest. You gaze back helplessly, wanting him, needing him, a moon chained to another worldâs gravity.
We canât, we canât, we canât.
âIâm so sorry,â you say.
And only then does Aegon vanish.

sweet nothing ⢠8
| in which you run into an old costumer |
âł Description: being a guest at the Jeon Estate after a mishap of being kidnapped and dragged into your brothers affairs isnât all that bad. Truth be told it brings you a lot closer to the mobster and owner of the estate Jeon Jungkook himself.
His two rules are simple, donât cause trouble and donât give him a hard time. Somehow you manage to constantly do both in the most endearing way despite being pregnant and waddling around most of the time.
Pairing: Jungkook/reader, ???/reader
âł Genre: slice of life AU, mafia!AU, pregnancy, thereâs likeâŚa little bit of a plot but not a lot, future smut? maybe? it's very domestic!
Word count: 3k
Previous | Next
Note: just know that the only reason these updates take so long is because I keep writing plot based chapters and I really just wanna post fluff based chapters đ
âThank you for taking me out!â You grinned as you took a large sip of your hot chocolate, it was still definitely not cold enough for it yet but you didnât care.
Something about hitting your third trimester had you wanting to nest like crazy, it had you going around the estate cleaning and getting guards to help move furniture around.
You really had no right to be doing it but nobody told you otherwise.
Jungkook had come back midday, surprisingly early, he had paused in the entry hall of his home locking eyes with the pregnant menace that had abruptly put herself at the forefront of his life once again.
It was then he realized you definitely needed to get out of the estate.
âIf it keeps you from not moving all my stuff around,â He shrugged, leaning back in his seat, eyes flickering from his phone to you.
You frowned, âIâm sorry, I donât even know what possessed me.â You sighed, âWell I do, they say third trimester can make you start nesting.â
âNesting?â
You glared are the way he snorted as if not believing you, âItâs a fact, you can look it up.â
âThe fuck is that even supposed to be? What are you, a bird?â
âIt means you just get the innate urge to justâŚâ you puffed your cheeks, ignoring that look he was giving you, âClean and decorate and justâŚI donât know I canât describe it! Just wish I had my own place to do that with and prepare for the baby.â
Jungkook sighed, his eyes went from looking at you to dropping down to your stomach, it was round when you had first come to the estate, but it was evident six weeks had passed, âThen maybe itâs time we talk about a nursery.â
You paused, getting ready to take another drink from your cup but it never meets to your lips.
Jungkook sighed, âI know you donât wanna talk about it, but finding your brother has quite literally lead me to dead ends I didnât even think would exist. Youâre almost thirty weeks pregnant, thatâs less than three months.â
âOkay yeah I can do basic math, but itâs already been almost two months. Surely it wonât take another two months to find him,â You pressed your lips together nervously.
âWould it be so terrible if you gave birth in the estate? Itâll probably be a better experience than the hospital.â Jungkook commented, picking up his coffee as he took a sip.
It wasnât that you were against giving birth in the estate, professional staff in the comforts of a bed? That was a luxury every woman could only dream of having, it was more the aftermath of it.
The idea of still living at the estate post pregnancyâŚit was a dangerous thought, it was too close to the life you had once wanted with Jungkook.
You just werenât sure how to articulate that too him.
Jungkook finally raised a brow at you, noticing your lack of reply.
âI justâŚdonât want to get too comfortable at the estate.â You finally spoke carefully, âI don't think that's good for anybody involved.â
âI understand but I also donât like being unprepared- in any aspect concerning me or my estate, and that includes you whether you want it or not.â Jungkook replied, âJust because a nursery is there doesnât mean itâll ever be used, itâll just be there so first of all, you stop moving all my shit and you have a place to do your bird stuff-â
âNesting.â You glared, lips quirking into a pout as your hands wrapped around your stomach.
Jungkookâs lips curved a little, âBird stuff. And second, if it does turn out that your stay is extended, itâll be ready.â
You still werenât completely sold on the idea, if anything you felt like it would just feed into the delusion even further.
âWhy hello there mama.â Another voice suddenly cut in, grabbing a chair from the empty table next to you both and plopping it on the side of your table.
Jungkook immediately straightened up, eyes glaring daggers that could definitely kill, âWhat the fuck are you doing here?â
âYoongi!â
The man brushed his black hair from his eyes a quirky smirk on his face as he shrugged, âUh Iâm just stopping in to say hello to my favorite barista who got put on bed rest early.â
A smile twisted on your lips, you were familiar with his face, he had been a regular for almost two years, the realization however quickly hit that Jungkook was very acquainted with this man.
You felt flabbergasted for a moment, you couldnât believe you never made the connection that the regular customer Yoongi was also Underboss business partner Yoongi.
âItâs nice to see you again Yoongi! I can't believe I didnât recognize you as Jungkookâs partnerâŚâ You sheepishly smiled.
Jungkook clearly didnât share the same sentiment, his nostrils flared and he looked ready to maul his partner.
âNah probably for the best you didnât realize. You as well, you look only a thousand times prettier, have that pregnancy glow about you.â Yoongi threw your a wink.
Jungkook wasnât sure what made him more violent, the fact that you both were already well acquainted or Yoongi so casually flirting with you.
It was part of his personality but it still didnât make any attention he or any other male gave you, any easier for Jungkook to witness.
âIf you arenât here for business, get the fuck away from our table.â Jungkook gritted his teeth, as if it took every fiber of his being to not right hook.
Yoongi didnât seem phased, âOh I was just in the area, been coming to Serendipity for a long while now, and then I suddenly see my favorite barista whoâs been gone for two months, of course I have have to say hello.â
âOkay well you said hello, now go the fuck away.â
âJungkook!â You said sternly, âDonât be so stubborn, Yoongi can sit with us for a few minutes at least.â
His eyes were a raging fire as they burned into you, his chest puffing but he said no more as Yoongi observed you both, a smirk on his face as he leaned back in his chair.
âHow are you enjoying the estate Y/n?â
You smiled tenderly, âThe company makes it honestly, I donât know what Iâd do without Jungkook and Yeonjun.â
âYeonjun?â Jungkook looked like he sucked on a sour lemon as he spat the name out.
âI still want my apartment back but Iâve made the most of the it. What about you? Why havenât you come to visit if you knew where I was?â You asked, curious as to what the man had been up too.
Yoongiâs gaze flickered to Jungkook, âWellâŚletâs just say I was asked to not drop by unless it was absolutely necessary.â
âAnd it isnât.â Jungkook gritted.
âOkay well first of all this doesnât count cause weâre not at the estate, second of all youâre not the only one who has relations to Y/n, I mean have you ever had this womanâs chai? Or her baked cinnamon rolls? Talented hands right there.â Yoongi stretched out in his seat, that playful nature about him.
âOh donât flatter me.â You shooed his praise.
âNo you deserve all the praise in the world, in fact you deserve-â
âWeâre going.â Jungkook stood up from his seat, sick of this if he had to hear one more word come out of his stupid partners mouth.
âJungkook!â You complained, but nevertheless took his hand when he offered it, âPlease visit Yoongi, youâre conversation is always welcomed.â
Yoongi only smiled, sunk into his seat as he watched the tall broody figure practically drag you away, it made him laugh in amusement.
Yoongi by no means kept an eye on you the last two years for his own benefit, but he supposed somethings would always remain thankless.
He had accomplished what he wanted though, evidently no matter how much Jungkook talked- and he talked a lot, it was clear he had grown possessive over you in the last few months.
Yoongi shook his head in amusement, watching the viper leave the parking lot through the window, he was happy to see that old spark in his partner return.
âWhat was that about!â You complained, immediately dialing the heat down to sixty in the car.
âYou shouldnât be talking to him,â Jungkook grumbled, hands gripping the steer wheel as if he was trying to strangle it, âIf you care about your babyâs safety youâll make an active effort to not talk to him.â
âHes been one of my regulars for like two years,â you complained, âHow was I supposed to know he was your partner? I never even officially met him! What makes him anymore dangerous then you? Hm?â
Jungkook deflated, obviously not having a good reason, âThe difference is Iâm protecting you.â
âOh so youâre saying he wouldnât?â
âThe point,â Jungkook gritted his teeth in annoyance, âIs donât talk to him.â
You frowned as you twisted to fully look at Jungkook, was heâŚjealous?
âAre you mad that Iâm paying attention to someone else?â You asked upfront, you could only be discreet about so many things.
âIâm not madâ.
âNo youâre definitely mad.â You replied pointedly.
âIâm annoyed that my business partner is talking to me outside of business.â Jungkook replied.
âBut he was talking to me, not you.â You crossed your arms.
âHe was doing that on purpose.â Jungkook huffed.
It was silent for a long moment as you folded your hands into your lap.
Of course you didnât have to point it out, but truthfully it felt too ridiculous to not? âAre you jealous?â
âNo.â
There was another pause.
âWhy would I be jealous?â
âYou tell me,â you replied, a pout on your lips, âYou always do this when someone talks to me, men specifically.â
âDo you actually want an honest answer?â Jungkook looked even more annoyed, even so much as throwing you a frosty glance before his eyes returned to the road.
You blinked before a troubled frown slowly curved on your lips, you could think of several ways heâd be honest and none of them youâd be able to fully believe.
âWhat I want,â you took a breath, âIs to be able to have a conversation without you looking like youâre shooting daggers out of your eyes.â
âI wasnât shooting daggers out of my eyes.â
You puffed your cheeks, âWell you claim you donât do a lot of things, that you do in fact, do.â
âHow about we just stop talking.â Jungkook replied.
You pouted but spoke no more as you yawned.
âDo you wanna go home?â
You nodded with a small groan, âYeah, I need to take a nap,â you nodded with another yawn.
Jungkook only nodded in return, eyes occasionally glancing at you, attempting to sleep in the car, when did his life start revolving around you this much?
