Hey, wincest people.
I made a little shipping survey that I want you to fill out. It's in Qualtrics, so a little more official-looking than one of the tumblr surveys, but how official can it really be if you're getting asked about butt stuff?
Full disclosure, next wincest wednesday is my actual honest-to-goodness birthday and I think it'd be nice if you filled out the survey for me as a little present. And then I'll show you the results as a reciprocal present. How's that sound?
If I could make the link look less like I was trying to survey your preferences in fast food bun choices I would, but frankly I couldn't figure it out. Nevertheless, I am applying big winsome eyes and saying: pretty please? Survey time?
#happy wincest wednesday#is the birthday reference too desperate?#idk how to get people to reblog stuff but like#imagine me twisting my toe cutely on the ground and going#'aww a survey answer for little ol' me?'#and so on

Simon "Ghost" Riley x Fem!Reader
Summary: Ghost avoids you but it's not what you think.
Warning: Slight Time Skips, Kinda Asshole Ghost?, Smut (18+), Use of Y/N, Language (?).
Word Count: 4.6K
Note: Now, I know in my master list I said that right now I would only be writing for the Slytherin Boys......but I have spiraled back into my Call of Duty, specifically Ghost. Now this is just an experiment, I don't know how this will go over but if you guys like it then maybeeee I'll post my other fandom fics that I have.
Also! This is a birthday gift for my beautiful gem, @slytherinslut0 , so everyone thank her and wish her a happy birthday. As always, @cafekitsune is on the banner.
Taskforce 141 didnât pay any attention when they were told that they would have a new nurse on the base. They assumed it would be another male, just like everyone who got employed here.
So, only one could imagine their shock when the baseâs doctor, Dr. Moscaw, introduced a pretty little thing like you to the team.
âThis is Y/N. She will work under me. Your first point of contact for anything medical-wise.â Moscaw spoke, âDonât go scaring her off, boys.â
There were grumbles and protests as Dr. Moscaw left you with the team. You cleared your throat as you gave them all a nervous smile. All their eyes were on you, surveying you almost like prey. A certain man with a skull mask being the most intense one. âUm, right. You all desperately need an annual check-up. So, whenever you all have a moment, please stop by the medical ward. I would love to update your records and meet you all.â
Before any of them could say anything, you had scurried off.
Over the next few weeks, they all came in one by one. Introducing themselves as you went through updating their records.
First came Captain Price. You liked to think that he came in to lead by example and not to get out of his mountain of paperwork. Then Kyle came in the next day. He begged you to call him âGazâ, saying that nobody on base ever calls him Kyle.
Not long after Gaz came, Johnny waltzed into your office. He was flirty but overall friendly. Johnny, just like Gaz, begged you to call him Soap like everyone else. He was the one who referred to you as a breath of fresh air amidst the testosterone-filled air. Often, he and Gaz came to your office. They always claimed to be checking up on you, but you knew it was because they were hiding from their duties.
âWhere isâŠ. um, Ghost? Or is his name Simon? Itâs two first names on this file.â You asked, furrowing your eyebrows at the lack of information in his records. Soap chuckled, glancing up from his phone to you. âGhost is the name heâs gonna give âya. Itâs the name that we all know him by.â
âA field name, I assume?â You asked, looking up from your computer. Gaz and Soap nodded. âYep. His name for plenty of reasons, but thatâs neither here nor there.â Gaz waved his hand dismissively.
âWell, is he going to come in for a check-up? He doesnât have another doctor or anything listed.â You sighed. âHis medical record is empty. There is nothing on here, other than his name and height. No birthday, no past medication history, nothing.â
âOf course, thatâs all thatâs on there. Thatâs all anyone knows about him.â Soap laughed. âHeâs not gonna come in here for a check-up.â
âWhat? Why not?â You asked, closing your computer.
âToo much information.â Gaz shrugged. âNobody knows anything about him. Itâs a shocker that he even allowed his real name to be on those records.â
âSo, nobody knows if this guy even goes to the doctor?â You threw your hands up in exasperation. âThatâs insane.â
âYa may be right, but that means nothing to Ghost.â Soap said.
âAnd insane is basically his middle name. The man does whatever he wants.â Gaz added.
âDo you think he will come in if I just ask?â You pondered to the men.
Gaz and Soap glanced at each other before shrugging. âIf you bat those pretty eyelashes at any man on this base, theyâll be eating out the palm of your hand,â Soap said.
âBut Ghost isnât like the average man. Heâs not easily swayed like most.â Gaz added, âBut I mean, it wonât hurt to try.â
With the encouragement from Gaz and Soap to just try to ask him, you spent the next few weeks attempting to track Ghost down. Unfortunately for you, he lived up to his name very well. It was like every time you went looking for him, everyone had âjust seen him.â
Eventually, you found him, by pure coincidence. You were walking to your car, getting ready to leave the base for the day when your eyes landed on a 6â4, muscular man who donned a skull balaclava. You hadnât seen him since the day that Price had introduced you to the team. He seemed bigger and a bit more intimidating than before, but your determination outweighed your nervousness.
You walked up to him, clearing your throat. Ghost stopped fiddling with his motorcycle to drag his eyes up to your face. His eyes were dark and analytical as he scanned your face before tracing down your body. You felt self-conscious of his wondering gaze.
âWhatcha âya want?â His voice was deep, his accent coming out heavier than you thought it was.
âUm, Iâm the new nurse.â You squeaked out before clearing your throat.
âI know.â
âRight.â You took a deep breath. âYour medical records are empty and youâre the only one who hasnât come in for a check-up.â
There was a brief silence between you two as you waited for him to say something, anything. When you got the hint that he wasnât going to say anything, you decided to just push forward and ask.
âWill you come in for one? And maybe introduce yourself a little more?â
Ghost stared at you a little longer before turning back to his motorcycle. âNo.â
Your eyes widened at the blatant refusal. You raised your eyebrow, crossing your arms. âWhat do you mean ânoâ?â
âDo âya not know what ânoâ means? Arenât âya educated?â Ghost grunted; his back still turned to you.
âYou canât justâŠ. You must fill out these records somehow!â
âNo, I donât.â
You narrowed your eyes at Ghost, huffing slightly. âItâs mandatory to at least get an annual check-up.â
âSo, Iâve heard. Donât care.â He spoke again, throwing one leg over the motorcycle. He started it up, gripping the handles. His eyes focused on your face again as he revved the engine.
âBut-â
Before you could even think about responding, Ghost had sped off, leaving you in the dust.
âAnd he just sped off?â Soap laughed. Gaz smacked his arm, giving you an apologetic look.
âIgnore Soap. He has a terrible sense of humor.â Gaz rolled his eyes. âBut we told you he was hard to sway.â
âI just donât understand why he doesnât want to come in.â You groaned, âMaybe he just doesnât want to get to know me?â
âItâs Ghost, you arenât supposed to understand him.â Gaz shrugged. âBut I doubt itâs you that heâs against.â
You let another groan, causing the two men to chuckle.
âHell, Darlinâ, you might just make the man nervous as hell. As you can see, we donât have many pretty females around here.â Soap leaned back in his chair, grinning at you.
âMe? Make Ghost nervous? Please.â You raised an eyebrow, rolling your eyes. Soap shrugged, âYou never know, he could be.â
âYou never know,â Gaz said, agreeing with Soap.
âWhatever.â You muttered, ending the conversation.
Weeks had passed and Ghost gave no sign of even considering stepping into the medical ward or trying to talk to you. He evaded you any chance he got. You told Dr. Moscaw and Price about the predicament with Ghost. Both waved it off and said, âHeâs Ghost, thatâs just how he is.
When your official first three months of working on the base had come around, Soap and Gaz had invited you out to the bar to celebrate.
âItâll be everyone. Cap, Laswell, König, hell, even Ghost said he would come.â Soap smiled at you. You scoffed slightly at the revelation that Ghost was going to show his masked face at the bar. âAre we sure heâs coming for me, or rather, the drinks?â You asked, your eyes focused on the computer screen in front of you.
Gaz chuckled. âHe refused to go until we said it was a celebration for you.â
âFunny that the man that evades me wants to come to my celebration.â You muttered.
âYou know, heâs probably around you more than you think,â Soap said, causing you to look up at him with a raised eyebrow. Soap shrugged, continuing, âI mean, heâs known for being around without others knowing, hence the name Ghost.â
âLike he sees me, but I donât see him?â You asked. Soap and Gaz nodded.
âThink of it like he is collecting information on you. The poor guy lives and breathes our missions and the military. Itâs all he knows. It works with the idea that you make the man nervous.â Gaz said, patting your back as he and Soap filed out of your office.
Gazâs and Soapâs words stuck to you. Maybe you had gone about approaching Ghost all wrong. He was quieter than Gaz and Soap and obviously more secretive, given the blank medical record and the mask. Maybe you should let him approach you, let him feel you out to see if youâre trustworthy or not.
When the night of the celebration rolled around, you promised yourself that you would not pester Ghost. Despite the growing need to get to know him and your nursing instincts to make sure he was healthy; you were going to let him come to you.
You walked into the bar, tugging slightly at your dress that rose from sitting in the taxi. Your black mini dress hugged your curves and had a low neckline that showed off your cleavage with your matching strappy heels. Although Soap and Gaz had to you to come dressed up, you debated calling the taxi back and going home to change. You were going to be with your co-workers, who were most likely going to be in jeans.
You sighed, pushing open the door to the bar. Your eyes snapped over to the large table in the back of the bar where all your coworkers sat. âY/N!â Gaz yelled, jumping up from his seat. He grabbed your arm, escorting you to the table. Everyone shot you a smile, except König and Ghost, who both donned a balaclava. Although, you could tell from the crinkle in Königâs eyes that he was smiling at you.
âThe guest of honor is finally here.â Laswell smiled at you. âCongratulations on sticking it out at the base for three months. I must admit, I thought these boys would scare you away by now.â
âNo, Iâm tougher than I look.â You joked, âPlus, everyone is nice. I felt welcomed.â
Gaz and Soap gave Ghost an unmistakable side eye that you caught, and if you caught it, then everyone at the table caught it. You also didnât miss the narrowed eyes that Ghost gave back to Gaz and Soap.
âA round of shots! For our new family member.â Price winked at you, giving you a warm smile.
Thatâs how the night went on, chatting and drinks getting passed around. It didnât take you long to get buzzed. You kept true to your promise to yourself and didnât go looking for interactions with Ghost.
However, you felt his eyes on you. It was like they never left you, always following your every movement.
It felt familiar.
Ghost stayed quiet the whole night, not cracking a chuckle at any jokes or taking part in the conversations. His eyes wandered the bar as if he was looking for any type of escape. Whenever your eyes met his, he looked away, his eyes hardening in the process.
âI have to go to the bathroom.â You said, feeling the alcohol finally run through you and back up your throat. Although everyone was too occupied with their conversations to hear you. You stumbled your way to the bathroom, pushing open the door. You wasted no time, bending over the toilet and vomiting what little contents that were in your stomach.
âI knew I shouldâve eaten beforeâŠ.â You whispered to yourself.
âYeah, âya should have. Not very nurse of âya.â A deep voice echoed behind you.
You jumped, turning around, clutching your chest as your eyes landed on Ghost. He stood behind you, arms crossed, as he leaned against the stall door.
âGod, when the fuck did you get in here?â You asked, your eyes traveling down his figure. This would be the first time that you had ever seen Ghost in civilian clothes. Even on relaxed days on the base, Ghost wore full tactical gear. Tonight, he opted for a compression tee and black sweatpants, as if he was planning to go to the gym after all of this.
Which wouldnât be surprising for Ghost.
âI didnât know you had tattoos.â Your eyes landed on his sleeve, which seemed to move as he unconsciously flexed his muscles.
âI know âya didnât.â Ghost said, offering his hand out to you. You took it gratefully, standing up to your two feet. Ghost handed you some mouthwash and gum, along with your purse.
âDidnât want nobody shifting through âya stuff.â Ghost said when he saw the look that you gave him, âAlso thought âya might want to touch up âya make up.â
âThank you.â You gave him a small smile. He nodded, turning on his heel to leave out the bathroom. You swigged the mouthwash around, spitting into the sink. You freshen up your makeup before popping the piece of gum in your mouth.
You made your way back to the table, sitting down when a waitress came and dropped a personal pan of pepperoni pizza in front of you with water. âOh,â You looked up at her, âI didnât order this.â
âOne of your friends ordered it for you. Told me to bring it when you came back to your seat.â She smiled and walked away. You glanced down at the pizza with a smile. Pizza was your favorite greasy food; it matched the rumbling of your drunk stomach perfectly.
You looked up at Soap and Gaz, the only two people who would know about your guilty pleasure food. Soap was leaning against the table flirting with another waitress while Gaz made bets with Price on football games. You decided you would thank one of them later when they werenât busy.
4 am finally rolled around, causing the night to end. Gaz had called you a cab, walking you out as everyone said their goodbyes. Ghost had already mounted his motorcycle and sped off into the night. Once Gaz got you settled in the backseat, you smiled at him. âThanks, Gaz. Oh, and thank you for the pizza, too.â
Gaz raised his eyebrow. âWhat pizza?â
âThe pizza you ordered me when I went to the bathroom.â You clarified.
âI didnât order you a pizza, hell, I didnât even know you went to the bathroom.â Gaz said before chuckling a bit with a mischievous smirk, âThe only person who ordered food was Ghost.â
Before you could ask anything more, Gaz tapped the roof of the car and your taxi pulled off.
You went even longer without seeing Ghost after the bar. It was almost as if he had just disappeared into thin air. You tried to question Gaz and Soap, but they claimed they knew nothing about it. Saying that it was probably a âlucky guessâ but if anything they had told you about Ghost was true, nothing he did was just a lucky guess.
You pushed all your questions to the back of your mind, as you knew you werenât going to get any answers any time soon. You were cleaning up the office as your day was ending. 141 were out on a mission, a relatively relaxed one, so your office was quiet and easy to pack up rather than having to tell Soap to stop touching stuff every 5 minutes.
You hummed to yourself, not taking notice that your office door had swung open.
âYouâre terrible at being aware of âya surroundings.â
You jumped, a squeal falling from your mouth. âYou have to stop doing that!â
Ghost stood at your door, in sweatpants and a hoodie. His arms crossed as he stared at you through his mask. He stepped into the room, closing the door behind him. You suddenly felt small like the room was closing in on you due to Ghostâs tall frame.
âWhat are you doing here?â You asked. Ghostâs eyes seemed to widen, as if he wasnât sure why he was there either.
âGive me a check-up.â
You raised an eyebrow at him, glancing over at the clock. It was 7:35 pm, and the base was basically empty.
âIt canât wait til tomorrow?â You asked. Ghost took a step closer to you, âI thought you wanted to get to know me?â
âI do but-â
âThen give me the check-up.â Ghost grunted, sitting on the bench. His large frame made the normally large bench look small under him.
You sighed softly, getting out your equipment to start his check-up. You stay silent as you slip on your latex gloves after washing your hands. âSo, Iâm guessing something happened on the mission.â
Ghost looked over to you, his eyes coated in a small dose of confusion. âWhat?â
âI mean, you seemed very adamant about not getting a check-up before and now youâre here after a mission. I just assumed maybe something happened.â You clarified as you moved to check his heartbeat.
It took everything in you not to let your hands wander across his chest as you pulled away from him to turn to your computer and record the data.
âNothing happened. Just built up some confidence.â He said, getting off the bench to stand behind you closely.
âO-ohâŠ. confidence for what?â You took a deep breath, your eyes focusing on the computer screen.
Ghost didnât answer your question, instead, he grabbed your shoulders and spun you around to face him. âYouâre very annoying, you know that?â
âWhat?â Your eyes widened.
âYouâre always around, smelling good. In these scrubs that hug your body tighter than any other scrubs Iâve ever seen.â Ghost muttered, âAlways laughing at Soapâs stupid jokes. Always getting pizza when you know you arenât supposed to.â
âI try to avoid you and ignore you, but you just crawl your little ass into my mind anyways. All missionâŠ. just thinking and wondering what youâre doing.â Ghost continued.
âIs this your way of admitting that youâve been thinking about me?â You asked.
Ghost stayed silent. His eyes stay trained on you, no words or sounds coming from him. His hand moved to take a piece of your hair and twirling it around his finger.
âUm, we should finish the check-up so we can go.â You spoke softly. Ghost ignored you, dipping his face into your neck. He took a deep breath. âGod, you smell heavenly.â
âGhost....â
âI need you.â He grumbled, âI need you all around me. Iâve learned everything I can about you and all I can think about is how I need to feel about you.â
âHow I need to ruin you.â
You felt a knot in your stomach at his words, heat pooling inside you. âR-ruin me?â
âBeyond belief.â Ghost confirmed, âGive me the green light.â
You stayed silent as Ghost pushed his knee between your legs, pressing his knees gently against your core, causing a whimper to fall from your mouth. He lifted his mask to reveal his lips, pressing against your neck in soft, wet kisses. âY/N. Answer me.â
âIâŠ.â You gasped for air, âP-pleaseâŠdo it.â
Ghost didnât need to hear anything else. He lifted you easily, throwing you on the bench. He yanked your top off, groping your breast. âI havenât been able to stop thinking about these since the bar. So soft and plumpâŠâ Ghost grumbled, pulling your bra down and latching his mouth to your nipple.
A small moan fell from your mouth at the actions. His tongue swirled around your nipple before he pulled away with a slight âpopâ. He left a trail of kisses down your chest to your naval. He tugged down your pants, throwing them in the same direction as your top. He groaned at the sight of the wet spot in your panties.
âSo wet and ready for me. Huh, love?â Ghost said, blowing softly on your clothed clit.
You whined softly, nodding your head. He slapped your thigh, his eyes looking up at you. âI want to hear use your words. Let me hear that pretty voice that has been plaguing my mind for these past few months.â
You let out a sigh as Ghost pressed the pad of his tongue to your slit through your panties, teasing you. âYesâŠ. Iâm wet and ready for you.â
âGood fucking girl, Lovie.â Ghost chuckled, moving your panties to the side to latch his mouth to your clit. He sucked and lapped at your clit harshly, your moans becoming uncontrollable as he ate you out like a starved man. His tongue teased your slit, flicking his tongue up and down.
He gripped your thighs tighter, pulling you closer to him. His nose pressed against your clit, stimulating you more and more. âOh God, fuck, Ghost.â You moaned, your hands reaching out to grip the top of his balaclava.
âThatâs right. I want you moaning my name like itâs the only thing that pretty little mind knows.â Ghost muttered, slipping two fingers into you as he kept lapping up all your juices. Your thighs tightened around his face as you felt your climax coming.
Ghost groaned at the action, his cock twitching with anticipation. You tossed your head back as pleasure coursed through your body. âIâm about to cum, fuck, Iâm sâclose.â
Your words seem to push Ghost further into sending you over the edge. His tongue moved faster against you as his fingers matched his pace. Your mind was blanking from the orgasm that rushed over your body. Ghost pulled his fingers out slowly as he pulled away from your swollen clit. His mouth was covered in your slick as he smirked. âTaste so sweet, Angel.â He spoke.
He pushed his two fingers into your mouth, groaning at the warmth of it. You suck on his fingers, tasting yourself on them as you swirled your tongue around. âSuch a good, eager girl. So happy to taste yourself on my fingers.â Ghost whispered, pushing them down your throat so he could hear your gags.
Ghost pulled away, yanking his sweatpants and boxers down. His cock sprang out, revealing its large length. It hit his abdomen; the tip leaking with pre-cum. Your eyes looked down at him, eyes widening at the sight. âMy GodâŠ.â You whispered.
Ghost grabbed the base of his shaft, jerking himself off slightly before pulling you to the edge of the bench and wrapping one of your legs around his waist while propping the other one on his shoulder. âI need this pretty pussy wrapped around my cock, taking every inch of me.â Ghost growled. He rubbed his tip up and down your slick, coating it in it.
âTell me how much you want this, Lovie. How bad do you want me to fuck you?â Ghost demanded; his eyes focused on you. You let out a whiny moan, looking up at him, âPlease fuck me. I want your cock so bad.â
Ghost pushed into you, filling you up slowly but surely. Ghost groaned, sinking into you until he was fully inside you. âSâfucking tight. Gonna fuck this pretty cunt until itâs molded to only take my cock.â Ghost groaned, snapping his hips forward for a forceful thrust. A guttural moan fell from your mouth, as Ghost gripped your throat with both hands, pounding into you at a ruthless pace.
âMâbeen dreaming of this since the day I laid eyes on your fucking application picture.â Ghost muttered, âSuch a pretty fucking girl. Batting your eyelashes at everyone.â
Ghostâs hands moved down to your hips, his fingers digging into your soft flesh. Your moans were drowned out by the loud slapping of your skin. If it wasnât for the way that Ghost was viciously railing you, you would be concerned that someone would walk past and hear you.
âSuch a fucking whore. Getting fucked in your officeâŠ. you like being railed after work? Hmm?â Ghost hissed out as you clenched around him.
âYou look sâpretty being full of my cock.â Ghost muttered, leaning down to kiss and nip your neck. You whined, feeling another knot form in your stomach. You clenched around Ghost, making him groan. âMâcloseâŠ. sâcloseâŠâ You spoke in between moans.
âGo ahead and make a mess on my cock, baby. Cum all over this cock like the slut you are.â Ghost demanded. It didnât take long for your legs to shake and for Ghostâs cock to be drenched in your climax. He slowed his thrusts, pulling out of you. You whimpered at the lost feeling.
âGet up, Lovie. I want to cum all in that pretty mouth of yours.â Ghost said, pulling you off the bench and to your knees. You looked up at him as he pumped himself. Slapping his cock against your lips, you opened your mouth to let him slip in.
âSâfucking warm. Fucking made to take my dick in every fucking hole you have.â Ghost muttered, his hand snaking around the back of your head to shove his dick further down your throat. Your eyes rolled into the back of your head as you tasted all your juices that drenched his cock. Saliva trailed down your chin as Ghost thrust in and out of your mouth at an unforgiving pace. âA fucking slut you are, taking my dick so well. Fuck.â Ghost groaned as his hip stuttered slightly. His cock twitched in your mouth before ropes of cum shot down your throat.
Your eyes screwed shut as Ghost stayed deep in your throat, making sure you swallowed all his cum. He pulled out, bending down to level as you looked up at him. âSo, this was going through your mind all this time.â You spoke breathlessly.
âShocked, Lovie?â Ghost smirked, lifting you back to your feet.
âA little.â You nodded. Ghost tilted your head back to press a rough but gentle kiss to your lips. âWell, I suggest you get used to it because there will be more of that.â
âSo, you made your move, huh?â Soap grinned wickedly at Ghost, who sat further down the table. Ghostâs eyes shot to Soapâs as he narrowed them at the man.
âDonât even try to deny it, LT.â Gaz said, his eyes staying trained on his phone. âAll the talk around the base is how a certain skull mask-wearing lieutenant is attached to the hip of the pretty little nurse.â
âShe mustâve really made you nervous if it took you almost three months to make a move on her.â Soap teased.
âI did more than make a move on her, Sergeant.â Ghost spoke, âThat pretty little nurse is now my pretty little nurse.â
Ghost smirked underneath his mask as he looked between Gaz and Soap. âSo, it would do you both good to watch your hands the next to you hug her. Would hate to have to break your fingers off for wandering too far for your own good.â
Without another word, Ghost sauntered out of the meeting room, leaving Soap and Gaz dumbfounded.
âHm, I was wondering when that boy was going to make a move.â Price hummed from his spot, âAll that begging to hire her to this base and took nearly four months to even talk to her.â
âWait, what? Ghost knew about her before she even got to base?â Gaz asked.
âGhost was the one who pulled her application.â Price said, âSaid âhis future girlâ had applied, and I needed to get her on base.â
Gaz and Soap looked at each other before sighing. Of course, Ghost knew you before you knew him.
Because it wouldnât be Ghost if he didnât.

dividers by @saradika-graphics
He shouldnât. He knows he shouldnât.Â
I donât fall asleep during movies, daddy, you had sassed him.Â
Whatever you say, little bug.Â
That was an hour ago and now youâre resting your pretty little head against his belly, your hand tucked beneath your head. You look so peaceful. So pretty. So soft. So â pliant.Â
He really shouldnât.Â
But then your hand slips from under your head and falls to rest a hair's breadth away from his clothed cock, it jumps in his sweats. Youâve practically pavloved him to react like that with just a mere graze of your fingertips.Â
âYou got no idea what you do to me, sweet girl, drivinâ me fuckinâ crazy over here,â his voice a low rasp, reaching for your fingers and gently pulling them from his lap, squeezing your fingertips twice before resting them atop his thigh.Â
Youâre completely limp, deep in your sleep and Joel is unable to control himself.
He snatches up the remote, hastily turns down the TV, shoves his gray sweats down to the middle of his thighs and frees his semi-hard cock. He wraps a hand around the base, gives it a firm tug, and rests the tip of his length on your lips.
He stills and swallows hard. He shouldnât do this. He canât do this, it feels selfish to take what heâs been desperately wanting from you â for the better part of an hour â when youâre unable to respond. He should wake you.Â
But then, almost as if youâve made the decision for him; your lips part and a soft moan releases from you, mmm, daddy. His cock twitches against your lips, opaque droplets already gathering at the slit. Your lips stay parted and the glistening tip slips between your plush lips.Â
âFuckâ â He groans at the sensation, eyes rolling back into his head, hand flying up to the back of yours, cradling your skull in an attempt to anchor himself as he slowly rolls his hips up into you. He stiffens fully at the feeling of your warm, wet mouth around him. It feels fucking incredible.Â
How the hell did he get here? A rare lazy sunday night with you on his lap, taking a man almost three times your age in between your lips, letting him use you in your sleep.Â
He remembers first laying eyes on you. You showed up on his porch one night, not too long ago, with sparkling eyes and a shy smile on your face. He didnât even hear what you had said to him, too distracted by the soft skin of your exposed thighs just below the hem of your pale pink dress â barely covering the plump shape of your ass â and the flow of your hair as a wave of muggy summer heat swept past. He thinks it was something about the leftover cake from your birthday. He only guessed that from the sad, fat square slice of funfetti birthday cake held up in a flimsy paper plate before him, the letters jaggedly cut down the middle of the celebratory phrase.
Joel is a strong man; at least thatâs what he tells himself. He knew you were too young for him. The split letters that barely spelled out twenty-four on your birthday cake told him as much. Trouble, heâd muttered. He still mumbles that occasionally when you push his buttons, though hours later, he often finds himself burying his length deep inside of you, tears pricking your eyes while he stretches your needy cunt.
But then you glanced up at him with wide, curious eyes and flashed him a big, toothy smile â the prettiest little thing heâs seen in all his long, hard years â and he cracked; his cement walls came crumbling down. He brought you inside his home, into his too-small bed, and fucked you until you cried, until you asked him for a break only to climb on top of him minutes later, begging him to feed you his cock again.
His cock pulses on your tongue at the memory, your voice high-pitched as you cried, Daddy, please, I want it. And Joel couldnât resist his special girl. How could he? When you softly gasped into his mouth as he pushed the blunt head of his cock past your puffy folds â nuzzling in and making a home for himself â where he belongs. Your warm, drooling cunt sucking him in to the hilt, sheathing the entirety of his hard length inside your messy little pussy.Â
Joel is a strong man, but not when it comes to you.Â
Please, please, I need to feel it inside me. All the way up here, daddy, you whined, one hand gliding up your belly, the other fisting the fabric of your lace-trimmed dress. He just couldnât resist you. So he fucked you and fucked you deep, until he was in the soft pouch of your tummy and poking through from the other side, just as you had asked of him. He fucked you full of his spend, until your poor, tiny hole couldnât take any more of his cum.Â
Heâd damn himself to hell before heâd refuse you. He only hopes you donât deny him if you wake.Â
His deft, roughened fingers brush the hair out of your face before settling his hand back on your head. He sits up and leans over; marveling at the stretch of your lips around him, sweat beginning to pool at the nape of his neck and the corners of his temples.Â
He feels filthy. A dirty old man. Heâs never taken you like this before. But it doesnât feel wrong. Heâs only missing those pretty sounds you make â
You stir and let out a soft moan around him. Sweet Jesus, there you go. Your head dips lower down his belly, nestling more of his length into your hot mouth. Atta fuckinâ girl. Let me in, baby. Open up real big for daddy.Â
âSuch a naughty little thing, lettinâ me fuck your throat while youâre sleepinâ, just needed to be full oâme huh?â He whispers softly, and at that, you hum. Joel canât help when he bucks up into your mouth in response, saliva pouring past your lips and onto his graying pubic hair.Â
âFuck, baby, you like gettinâ daddy all messy? Like chokinâ on daddyâs big cock?â He taunts, a grin tugging on his face.Â
Once again, as if you can hear him, you hum.Â
Youâre so damn responsive. Or maybe you just like having his dick in your mouth. Â
âFuck, yeah, you do,â he pants, his voice strained with restraint. His free hand glides down to the swell of your ass â the softest skin he thinks heâs ever felt â and hikes up the frilly hem of those pink sleep shorts that he likes a little too much â the ones speckled with tiny red hearts â over one cheek, grabs a handful of your plush flesh, and squeezes. You moan, and Joel feels your tongue twitch, feather-like, beneath the heavy weight of his cock, then pressing up against the thick, pulsing vein on the underside of his shaft. He bites down on his lip to muffle the loud moan that sneaks past his lips, the back of his head hitting the couch behind him.Â
âGoddamnit, takinâ me so damn well, even in your sleep, such a good fuckinâ girl,â he babbles, his eyes shut tight as he revels in the feeling of himself in your mouth, the action movie silently playing on the screen flashes against his eyelids, measured shaky breaths escaping him. The strong hand on your head easing you lower and lower to take more of him, your lips now grazing the drool drenched hair at his base. Â
Your mouth feels like velvet around him â warm and soft and so perfect that his hips cant upwards unconsciously, the pace of his thrusts increasing. Heâs losing himself in the haze of his fast-approaching release, a deep-seated tension building in his gut, teetering on the edge untilâ
You splutter around him and Joelâs head snaps up to peer down at you, your eyelids flutter open against the soft glow of the television.
âShit, baby. âM sorry,â he rasps and quickly retracts his hand from your head. Yet, you donât pull yourself off him, instead you curl your weak fingers into his thigh. You donât want him to stop.Â
âYou want me to keep going?â He asks gruffly, he knows you can take him, youâve done it countless times since you have met. Heâs trained you well. Yet, he needs to be certain heâs not reaching your limit.Â
You drag your lips off his cock, an obscene wet slurping sound fills the too still air, letting off him with a pop and maneuvering yourself to sit up on your knees. âYes, please daddy,â your voice still thick with sleep, peering up at him with an innocence to your needy gaze; a mixture of drool and precum coating your pouty lips.Â
âChrist,â he mutters, under his breath. Such a pretty fuckinâ sight. One he reckons heâll never get tired of seeing. He canât deny you. Not when you look at him like that.Â
âOkay, baby, here,â he murmurs, his hand retakes its place on the back of your head, guiding you toward his aching cock, your lips latch onto the fat head â all angry and red â and he inhales a shuddery breath as he watches your face contort at the stretch of him in your mouth.Â
Your tongue flattens underneath him and he presses himself deeper into your willing mouth, filling you up and messaging the walls of your throat with the wide head of his cock.Â
His grip in your hair tightens and a low groan rumbles in his throat, âThere you go, baby, hold still.â Â
Fucking hell. He could keep you here forever.Â
âSo goddamn pretty like this, baby,â Joel grits, âLove havinâ your mouth stuffed full oâ my cock, huh?âÂ
You make a low muffled sound around the length of his cock.
âSâright, you do,â he answers for you. Â
His free hand trails down the length of your body, instinctively gripping the meat of your ass, dull fingernails digging into your skin, just barely grazing your puckered hole. You whine around him, the vibrations from your throat has him flexing his fingers your hair in response, and with shallow, quick thrusts of his hips, he fucks himself into your mouth.Â
Fresh tears begin to sprout in your eyes as you gulp hard, your throat constricting around him. Joel feels his throbbing tip choked tight at the small opening at the back of your throat. The warm walls of your throat so tight â so good for him â the muscles in his belly tighten, and the hand on your ass is quick to join the other on your head, gripping your skull. âShitâ thatâs it, angel. Mâcominâ.â His dick pulsates on your tongue, and a loud, guttural groan spills from him as hot, thick spurts of his cum coat your throat. His hand holds you there, firmly pressing your mouth flush to his spit-smeared balls. He feels you swallow around him again, and he whines quietly. The muscles in his jaw go slack, and his head falls back onto the couch while he lazily thrusts upwards, his leaking head bruising the back of your throat as he empties the last of himself into your mouth and filling your belly, his chest heaving from exertion.
He lifts his head when he feels you pull off him; you cough softly against him, the warmth of your breath brushes against his now softening cock, and his hooded gaze meets the sight of a thin string of saliva and cum dribbling from your wet, puffy lips, tears dripping from the corner of your eyes and down your cheeks. âOh, câmere, little bug, lemme see.âÂ
Just as he taught you, you plant a small, wet kiss on each of his heavy balls. Joel sighs through his nostrils. Fuck. What did he do to deserve you? Youâre too good for him. You scoot over to sit up in his lap. Joel feels the slick between your legs through your tiny shorts when you press against his soft cock. He lets out a little groan; if he hadnât just come, heâd be getting hard at the sensation.
His hand reaches to grip your jaw, angling your face up as you present him with your open mouth, the corners of his lips twitch at the sight of the walls of your little throat; empty, swollen, and used.Â
âMy filthy girl, you did so good fâme,â he cooes, coaxing away your tears and swiping your glistening lips clean. He pushes the pad of his thumb â covered in slobber and cum â into your mouth and presses it onto your tongue. Your wet eyes lock with his as you enthusiastically suck his thumb clean.Â
Man alive. Maybe youâll damn him to hell.
You release his thumb and giggle, biting your lip and smiling up at him dreamily. âThank you, daddy, I liked it,â you rasp quietly.Â
âYeah?â He breathes, both of his hands on either side of your face, thumbs stroking your wet cheeks.Â
Your wide, glassy eyes meet his gaze, âI like when you do things that make you feel good, it makes me feel good,â your voice hoarse and small, fingers toying with the collar of his t-shirt.
âWell â you always make daddy feel good, little angel,â he praises, leaning forward to lay a long kiss to your forehead that elicits a breathy sigh from you, your eyelids fluttering closed.Â
âYou tired, baby?â He whispers, tucking your soft hair behind your ear, fingers stroking down your hair and twirling the end of the gathered strands between his fingers.  Â
You yawn quietly and give him a slow, small nod, a sleepy smile to your face as you sink down in his lap, your weeping cunt throbbing against him. Heâll play with your perfect little pussy in the morning. Maybe your other little hole too.Â
He chuckles at that. âAlright, little bug...â he starts, tucking his soft cock back into his sweats. He scoops you up into his arms; his weak, achy knees pop, and a low grunt spills from him as he stands, âBedtime.â

when gojo falls in love - gojo satoru
gojo satoru x fem. reader
Summary: She fell first, but he fell harder.
It was hard not to fall in love with Gojo Satoru. He was a ray of sunshine, always lifting the mood in every room, radiating the friendliest, kindest aura you have ever witnessed. His youthful, laid-back personality complemented his intelligence and wit, always having a funny comeback to Suguru's constant teasing.
He seemed so unapproachable to you, the Strongest, the Honored One, the Heir of the Gojo Clan, the Wielder of the Six Eyes, and Master of the Limitless. Those were the titles he was referred to in your crazy world, someone who was to be praised for the immense power he wielded and the enemies he had eliminated. However, you saw Satoru in a different light, finding other reasons to praise him. The gentleness he would befriend a stray cat with, the way he politely bows at the cashier at his favorite bakery, or the fact that he makes soup for everyone after a night out to cure your hangovers. He buys a bouquet of tulips for every girl and woman on Jujutsu Tech's campus, without exception, on International Women's Day. He remembers the lunch lady's son's birthday and gives her the remote-control car the young boy so desperately wanted because he knew Watanabe-sama, as he refers to her, could never afford it. He sits down to play chess with the elderly man in front of the convenience store every day because he knows he lost his opponent for the last 40 years not too long ago.
It is easy to fall in love with Gojo Satoru, however, it is hard for Gojo Satoru to fall in love. Or at least, that's what he thinks. At first, when you join them, he doesn't give much thought to it. He's pleased that there is another girl added to the group, so he and Suguru don't have to listen to Shoko's constant whining about them being gross anymore. He also relishes in the attention you give him, because he knows you're quite infatuated with him, like most of the girls are.
However, as time passes, he realizes that your kindness makes a red hue run across his pale cheeks. Every time he does the smallest things, you praise him for it. Others don't compliment him on his politeness, something he prides himself on because his mother taught him to act this way - the only person who loved him for him so far. Other people praise him for his technique, his unique eyes, and his otherworldly good looks. You're the only one who notices the small things he does and that warms his fragile heart. So he asks you out on a date.
He doesn't give it much thought, just a walk in the park full of cherry blossoms and ice cream. However, he swoons at the fact that you seem like this is the best date you have ever been on, you thank him repeatedly for paying for your ice cream and offer him the Kit Kat chunk the guy stuck into your dessert as an attempt to flirt with you, because you know Satoru loves Kit Kats, they're his favorite candy bar.
Gojo Satoru reaches one important conclusion that night, after walking you to your dorm room. You are, in fact, very easy to fall in love with.
Instead of fighting it, he lets this new feeling flourish. He starts putting in an insane amount of effort, he pays attention to the small things, he drinks up every word that you speak, he takes notes on his phone because he wants to walk the extra mile for you. His new goal in life becomes making you, the first girl who looks past the titles and likes him for him, happy. His enthusiasm in doing so never falters, even after years together or after marriage.
"Sweetheart, what's wrong?" he asks you as his extremely perceptive eyes take in your slumped shoulders, the dark circles under your eyes and the slight frown that replaces the pretty smile he fell in love with.
"Long day, baby, long day." you sigh and he is quick on his feet, he embraces you, leaving a loving kiss on the crown of your head.
"Change your wizarding clothes, pretty girl, I'll run you a bath. How does that sound, huh?"
"Amazing, Satoru. Thank you!" you respond, smiling tiredly, leaving a kiss on his glossy lips.
"Everything for you."
Not only does he prepare a bath, but he also lights some candles, drops some lavender-infused salts in the water, and prepares some fruits and your book as well. While you relax your body in the water which is the perfect temperature, he makes your favorite meal for dinner and starts up the fireplace so that the two of you can cuddle up on the couch.
After dinner he holds you close, absentmindedly running his hands over your back, in your hair, whispering sweet nothings into your ear, small confessions that make you feel a lot better about yourself. Satoru would like to think that he is perfect at everything, but there's only one thing he takes pride in the most: learning how to make you feel better over the years. He always knows what to do, regardless of the reason why you're down. He knows how to pick you up.
"Toru?" he hears your voice, calling him by his favorite nickname. It makes him blush every time you call him that and he swears his heart picks up too.
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"Don't you ever get tired of taking care of me?"
"How could you say that?" he asks as he sits up, glaring at you with offended eyes "Of course not, baby. You're my everything, I could never get tired of making you feel good, love. It is also my duty as your lover to ensure your happiness. It's in my contract and everything." he makes you smile fondly, adoring his way of phrasing these things. Because even the hardest of conversations are pleasant when Satoru is there to put things so stupidly.
"Oh yeah? What else is in this contract of yours?"
"That I have to kiss you all the time. And - and that I will have to get you a cat at one point because I know you want one. I have to feed you when you're hungry and I have to do the laundry when you get home late. Oh, and most importantly I always have to split my desserts with you. Only you, not even Suguru gets to do splitsies."
"I see. And what is in my contract?"
"Nothing. You already honored yours." he says curtly and you look at him with confusion.
"How?"
"Well, the only thing in your contract was that you have to be my lover. Nothing else. I'm the one doing the heavy lifting here, every day I get to spend as your significant other is a good day for me. You don't have to do anything else to make me happy." he explains.
You look him in the eyes, your irises filled with nothing but adoration towards the man in front of you. It is so easy to be in love with Gojo Satoru, because he is a gentleman in a world of boys.

AO3 / KINKTOBER MASTERLIST / KO-FI JAR / COMMISSIONS
Thereâs a lot more to Xavierâs jealousy than you realize, and youâre adamant on setting it right.
This was how it was to be in love with you.
The sweet smell of roses, a walk under the cherry tree.... The calm breeze of morning and soft, fresh linen sheets. Sunlight peeking in through the window, pages of a book. Of words that could mean more to him than he could ever think to describe.
Xavier could call on all the possible analogies he could think of, pull from all the poems and stories that he'd read. And yet none could compare to you. It was in the same way that the stars were second to noneâso too, then, were you.
You had always called him your star. But to him, the opposite was just as true.
And perhaps that was why this was so difficult.
The stars were different.
Sometimes changing in position, sometimes visible, sometimes not... From where the both of you stood, they were tiny specks of light in the vast domain of the skyâilluminating the night as much as they could, but part of a different world altogether. Unreachable. Untouchable. So bright, so radiant, that the single, slightest touch could burn him down to nothing.
They belonged to the skies; better admired from afar. It was torture to fall in love with something that, to anyone, felt utterly, unspeakably unattainableâ
But that was how it was to be in love with you.
And it was a curse as much as a blessing.
"So then Tara mentioned this new place that opened up recently, and she swears by its service! She said we should totally go out and celebrate!" Your eyes gleamed with excitement as you spoke, taking in a spoonful of your ice cream to bring up to your lips. "So this does mean I have a little last-minute rendezvous later tonight... I'd have invited you, too, butâyou know. Girl's night?"
His gaze remained transfixed.
The pace at which you both walked was matched, and relatively relaxedâyet he'd barely touched his ice cream. Instead, blue eyes focused on you as you spoke, tracing the movement of your lips and that sparkle in your eyes that he could never ever tire of.
"Okay," he murmured.
When you looked up at him, he glanced away, bringing a hand back to rub sheepishly at the bridge of his nose.
"...Really, really? Just okay? You usually, I dunno, ask me more about the people I'm with, or something..."
He shook his head, and there it wasâthe little smile on your face didn't go unnoticed. He knew you were trying not to tease, and your actions were so well-known by him that he'd memorized them all for himself. It was endearing to see you like this, knowing you probably knew his habits just as well as he did yours. And at the same time, he knew that you were right.
"Well, I mean... It's just Tara and the others," he said slowly. "You've... been spending a lot of your time with your hunter friends lately. I know who they are."
"I know who they are. You've a way with words, huh?" With a roll of your eyes, you took another bite of ice cream, before nudging him slightly with your elbow. "I've been trying to get to know more of the hunters in the Association lately. There's a lot of them, you know? I'm really glad that everyone's been so nice."
This time, he didn't say anything. Only a quiet hum, the soft crunch of autumn leaves on the concrete a sound that proved comforting to both of you.
The truth was, he was trying not to be so childish about it.
Something stirred in his chest when you spoke, that familiar discomfort that came with a feeling he knew to be jealousy.
It wasnât a nice feeling.
But it was also easy to lose a star.
It was easy to lose you when, sometimes, he didnât feel as if he had the right, really, to own you.
Because who was he to control your feelings?
There was no guarantee that, in this lifetime, you wouldnât just up and leave.
And the more time you spent with others, the more he realized how true that could be.
There was no certainty that this was end game.
âXavier?â
He heard your voice call out softly to him, and he looked downâ
God. You were so cute.
Your head tilted to the side with a little air of concern, and he couldnât help but smile. The moment a gentle breeze blew, he leaned down for a cheeky kiss on your forehead.
âX-Xavierâ?!â
The incredulous expression on your face was one he wished he could preserve in his mind for eternity. He was sure that if that were possible, he really would.
âItâs nothing,â he assured. And he, himself, wanted to believe that to be true. âI like walking with you. Itâs nice like this.â
Itâs nice like this.
I hope it stays like this.
I hope that this time, we can just⊠stay togetherâŠ
â
Oops.
That was the first thought in your head as you shot up from bed, eyes bleary with sleep.
Your phone was in your hand, and you stared aghast.
Package delivered.
You thought youâd been delusional when you could have sworn you heard nothing of a doorbell, until you looked at the address. And that was not your apartment number. That was Xavierâs.
Youâd forgotten to change itâagain.
Haphazardly throwing on a sweater and putting on your shoes, you raced out your door. The fact that you had yet to receive a text from him about it, nor have it delivered to you, likely meant one of two things: either he hadnât received it and it was waiting outside his door, or heâd discovered what was in it.
His door absolutely did not have a package waiting outside it.
âXavier? Xavier!â a little bit out of breath from the sheer shock of such a morning, you called out for him and hurriedly knocked on his door.
âGood morning,â came a voice from inside.
He wasnât opening the door.
âXavierâŠ?â
âIs this about your package?â
â...Yes! Yes, it is! I forgot to change the addressââ
âI have it.â
âTh-thatâs great! Could you, maybe, open the doorâŠâ
A shuffling could be heard, and when the door did open, your jaw immediately dropped at the sighed before you.
He had opened it.
âDid you really order this? Were you planning to come here again and ask me to wear it?â
Xavier was frowning, his arms crossed in front of himâhe wasnât at all happy, that much you could tell. But you almost couldnât focus on that. Not with the black tassel ear cuff hanging on his right ear, not with the suit he was currently wearing. And, those black gloves, the metal cuffs, the gold embellishments, the crimson dye, the blood-red collar⊠and everything.
It was a stark difference to how you usually saw him.
Xavier almost never wore black⊠But this looked phenomenal on him.
In retrospect, you supposed that there was nothing he could ever truly look bad in. But this? This was a whole other level of eye candy. There was absolutely no keeping that giddy smile from spreading across your face, even as you brought your hand up to cover your mouth.
âDonât look at me like thatâŠâ
The way his brows furrowed was near downright adorable, the corners of his mouth turning down into a little pout. You could have squealed.
Almost.
Instead, your hands reached out in a look of wonder as you slid your touch down the side of his arm, feeling the well-made fabric of the suit. It was just a cosplay, and yet, it nonetheless seemed so well-made, mearly comparable to the originalâŠ
âYou opened the package? Itâs mine, you know,â you murmured, and with a huff, he stepped aside to allow you into his apartment. You werenât mad that he opened it, reallyâand the fact that he put it on? While you could tell he wasnât happy about it, he was already being nice enough to indulge you with all this again.
âIs it really your package? You could have delivered it here on purpose. I saw Lumiere on the label. These are clothes in my size.â
For a moment the two of you stared at each other in silence, and you could very well remember how this played out the last time you were in this situation.
âWell,â you started, if only to fill the air around you that had grown a little tense. âI didnât expect it to arrive this soon⊠We were talking about it last night. You know, with the girls? A few days ago at the office, apparently Nero was all busy because a new line of Lumiere merch came outâa whole alternate costume! We talked about it all night and I had to order a set, too, I just thought I wouldnât get it for another weekââ
You were cut off in a swift movement.
With wide eyes, you found yourself pressed up against the wall, Xavierâs hands on either side of your head. The warmth of his presence so near you had you holding your breath, almost as if the air around you had turned from tense to suffocating. There was something about it that simply rendered you unable to breathe. It was easy to get all dizzy with him so close to you.
But when you looked at him, what you were met with was... not anger.
There wasnât a trace of it on his features.
Instead, you were surprised to see a hint of something else.
His lips pressed into a thin line. Displeased, yesâbut his gaze, while kept on yours, was desperate. Eyebrows knitted together, eyes narrowed ever so slightly with the prospect of almost begging you for something that you couldnât quite place... Something you felt as if you should.
âXavier?â you murmured. Your hand raised, slowly, carefully, up to cup his face.
This was different from the last time youâd played around with Lumiereâs costumes. He wasn't just sulking over it.
â...But is that really who you want to be calling?â His voice was quiet. Too quiet. This was an emotion you couldnât quite read, nor was it one that was familiar to you.
âXavier? Whatâs goingââ
âItâs always like this.â
Your mouth shut, and you frowned, trying desperately to understand the tone in his voice.
âItâs still always Lumiere, right?â he let out a slow breath. âWhy do you care so much about Lumiere? Youâd talk about him to your friends, too. Youâd spend an entire night without me for him.â
âWhat? Thatâs notâI told you, we just wanted toââ
âBut Iâm right here.â
The calm, even tone with which heâd been speaking slipped in that moment. A crack in his voiceâthough barely audible right in the momentâwouldnât have gone unnoticed by you.
Something was wrong.
He was rarely ever like this with youâthis wasnât even an argument, it was just⊠It was something.
His right hand, previously placed by your ear, shifted to take your hand from his cheek. Taking the other at the same time, he pinned both hands back against the wall, preventing you from moving. The lace of your fingers together had you hyper aware of the leather texture of his gloves, and your breath hitched.Â
He leaned in.
âIâm right here.â
A repeat of his words.
Yet he almost sounded as if he could break.
âI know you are,â you started, speaking carefully.
âDo you?â
âI do.â
âYou donât.â
âI do.â
This time you spoke firmly, meeting his gaze full-on with a certain sense of conviction that you were not going to let him try to doubt. âPlease... what brought this on, Xavier?â
For a while, there was no answer.
His chest rose and fell, deep, calming breaths for himself almost as if trying to compose himself in front of you. You didn't like that. He did it so often; hiding things from you for your sake, putting on a braver face for you if only to keep you from worrying any more than you needed to.
But you needed to.
You wanted to.
Was that not what a relationship entailed? To worry about each other?
You could tell that this meant more to him than simple, petty jealousyâand you were determined to find out what that was.
âDonât do that,â you mumbled. You frowned slightly, as if to make your point. âDonât act in front of me. Don't put up a front. Youâre upset, right? Somethingâs wrong. Xav⊠Are you still jealous? Is that what this is?â
â...Iâm not.â
âBut you are. Donât do that.â
Like before, his eyes averted, but you didnât miss the way he had to grit his teeth just to make sure he would keep a straight face.
âXavier.â
You tugged at your wrists.
âXavier.â
His eyes closed. While his grip on your hands loosened slightly, he didnât let upâhis forehead pressed against yours, and for the first time, you realized how shaky he felt.Â
His breath was warm. His hands were warm. You could barely notice the cold of the wall pressed against your back, the rest of his living room fading away into the background as if all that existed was you, and him, and this little corner you had to yourselves.
As if it were all that mattered.
In a way, it was.
He was all that ever mattered.
âI donât want it to change,â he whispered. His voice was small; smaller than you had ever heard it before. âI donât want us to change.â
âHuh? But weâre not changingâŠâ
âNo, weâre not. I hope we donât. Itâs enough like this, just to be with youâŠâ
Something about his words stirred at the pit of your stomach.
I hope we don't.
Perhaps that was it. Perhaps you'd been spending too much time without him, and perhaps he just wanted to feel... a little more wanted by you.
âXavierâŠâ
This time your hand slipped away from his hold, and it was back on his face, cupping his cheek. You watched him lean into itâa soft sigh of resignation, nuzzling into the palm of your hand like he wanted nothing more than your touch.
You swallowed thickly.
âXavier, itâs not that Iâm so fond of LumiereâŠâ you spoke softly. âIâm fond of you.â
His eyes opened, a slow blink of mild confusion.
âLumiere is you. Is he not? Heâs handsome, and gentle⊠just like you are.â
When his expression didnât let up, you continued.
âXavier, you saved me. Iâve always thought that Lumiere was amazing⊠But, now, knowing that heâs youâdoesnât that mean I get to love both you and him at the same time?â Your thumb rolled over his skin, and you leaned up slightly, teasing for a kiss. âI loved you first. So I like him because heâs you.â
The tips of your noses touched, and his lips brushed against yours. Your eyes locked this time, and he was all that you could see. All that you would ever see. Close. Impossibly close. Within reach⊠this time, because this was the Xavier that had come to love you. And that was all that mattered to you.
Maybe you felt a little sense of pride knowing this star was all yours. And maybe that was what he needed to feel, too.
âI⊠donât like him,â he murmured. âI donât want to be him⊠I just⊠want to be me. With you. Like this.â
"And you are you."
"But I'm not Lumiere. Lumiere is part of the past. I want⊠I⊠I'm here."
Ah.
Somehow, you understood.
Your gaze softened, and you let out a slow, quiet sigh. "Oh, XavierâŠ" you mumbled. âI like you no matter who you choose to be, Xavier. Ahââ
You smiled, and then shook your head. âSorry," you corrected. "Thatâs wrong. I mean⊠I love you, no matter who you choose to be.â
You saw his eyes light up at that, breath hitching. Those blue, blue eyesâbluer than blue, the most beautiful shade of it that youâve ever seen.
That was it.
That was what he needed to hear.
His lips trembled slightly, and then all you could feel were them.
He crashed against you, pinning you back against the wall just as he had done earlier, and you could feel everything. His knee between your legs, inching upwards, pressing you back with every ounce of his being as if the single, final thread of self-control had snapped.
âMy star⊠my angelâŠâÂ
He gasped between kisses, barely muttering out words before he would drag his lips plush against yours in a way that made you want. A way that made you need.
You moaned against him, his body melting, molding into yours.
My star.
Xavier was so unfair.
Even the nicknames you would reserve for him could be turned right back to you, snaking his way into your heart that he had, that he owned, because you had given itâeverythingâall to him.
And you wouldnât have had it any other way.
Not when the heat of his presence wrapped enveloped you in a hazy mist of love and desire, the pull of his touch so strong that you couldnât ever think of leaving. His fingers curled into yours, his grip straining. Bodies pressed together, the outline of his bulge grinding between your legsâhis hips rutted into you with not much thought behind his movements, and your desperate pants fell into each and every kiss as if you simply couldnât get enough.Â
You couldnât get enough.
Your mind could only fill with thoughts of him, because heâd taken that for himself as much as everything else.
âX-Xavieâmmphfââ
It didnât take long.
Clothes discarded in barely a moment before he was hoisting you up on his waist and fucking you, your back hitting the wall with every upward thrust of his hips.
âX-Xavier!â you cried. Your eyes rolled back as he dipped his head into your neck, muffling his moans into your skin. âXavier⊠Xavier⊠So good for me⊠so, so good, nnhâhaaââ
Every praise uttered from your lips caused his thrusts to jerk, a whine falling from his lips.
He liked it.
âMmh⊠Mhâyesâ j-just like that! Ngh, you fuck me so, so wellâha-ah!â
You clawed at his back as the tip of his cock edged against your sweet spot, and you could tell with the way he choked out a laugh into your skin that you were in for it. His hips continued to snap against yours until you could barely register any coherent thought in your head. He would plunge in and out of your wet, leaking cunt with reckless abandonâyou almost couldn't breathe.
âXavier! Hnngâso good! Good boy, goodânghâ! Th-there! Please!â
You were long gone.
He could only hold you up with his sheer strengthâyou felt weak as you cried out endless strings of praise, obscene sounds of sex filling the room in an instant.
âMy starâŠâ He leaned back to hold you properly against the wall, grunting and panting. With his hair stuck to his forehead, droplets of sweat sliding down his skin, your eyes glazed over. âMy star. My star. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mineâŠâ
With a mewl, your legs tightened around his waist, and he kissed you. Tongue, and teeth, and messy. Just as needy as earlier. Just as desperate as earlier. Your hands continued to claw at his back, fervent movements of his lips against yours in a foggy frenzy of pure want.
âMine,â he gasped, pulling away just enough to speak. âMy angel, my starâmy prettyâpretty angelâmyâgood girlïżœïżœâ
His kisses, his thrusts, were punctuated with every word, driving you absolutely insane.
âNghâah! XaviâvieâXavierâ!â
You could barely get any more praise out as he easily turned the tables on you, lulling you into a headspace where all you could say was his name. His name, that, gladly, he would easily relinquish to you. A name that was yours as much as his. A name that you could call, this time, with the comfort of him being with you.
âAngelâŠâ he groaned. âFeel'so good⊠Taking me so wellâŠâ
âG-gonna cum! XavieâXavâhaaâ!â
âGood girl⊠Good girl, goodâgirlâgoodânghâgirlâŠ!â
That was it.
One last thrust had you spasming around him, practically collapsing into his arms as he held you up, keeping you between the wall and his body as his own trembled with a release triggered by your own.
âSo much⊠so muchâŠâ you buried your face into his neck, and he rubbed soft, soothing circles into your back. Hot, white ropes of cum filled your insides, enough to leak out of you, trailing down your legs.
The two of you stayed still for a moment, catching your breaths. There was comfort, in being held tightly in his embrace. And it wasnât until a while later that either of you spoke.
â...The Lumiere plushieâŠâ he breathed, quietly. âDo we have to keep it?â
You lifted your head, shooting him an incredulous look. âYouâre still upset over it?!â Out of the corner of your eyes, you could see the dark-themed Lumiere plushie resting neatly atop of the coffee table, and you let out a huff. âXavier, really, I promise you that Iââ
You stopped.
He let out a soft laugh, his eyes crinkling in what you noted was not quite amusement, but⊠happiness, nonetheless.
You huffed slightly, but it felt lighter knowing that he was happy.
That was all you ever wanted, after all.
His forehead pressed back against yours, and he spoke again.
âDo you mean it?â he murmured. âWhat you said earlier. That you love me⊠No matter what?â
You smiled.
âOf course I do, silly. Isnât that what you say to me all the time, too? Whatâs to make you think that I canât say it back to you?â you gave him a playful swat, rolling your eyes. âI agree with you, you know⊠I like it like this. I like being with you. I want it to stay this way, too. Because all I've ever wanted was to be with you. You, whoever you feel like being. Whether it's Lumiere, or the Xavier in front of me now. That's... what it's like to love a star. Right?"
Something flashed in his eyes, then, before he nuzzled against you in that way he so often did with you.
â...Mm. So this is what itâs like to love you."
He was whispering, and he seemed to be speaking more to himself.
But, he smiled:Â
âAh, no⊠This is what itâs like to love you more.â
an : lumiere really is the best!!! đ„°âš

half asleep, half awake
Pairing: Joel Miller x F!Reader, ASHWAH Universe
Summary: Every time Joel Miller realizes he loves you. Every time he wants to tell you, and the time he does.
Warnings: Brief smut (unprotected p in v, possessiveness, creampie), brief reference to canon-typical violence, longing, Joel canât communicate his feelings until he can, lots and lots of love. Multiple specific references to the main series. Joel's POV.
A/N: Iâve gotten asked a few times when Joel realizes he loves Reader in this series, and the inspiration hit me the other day to write out my answer to it. Because it could be one scene, but so many before, and so many after when he wants to say it. I miss these two and I love these two and I hope that this little companion piece to the fic makes somebody as happy as I was to write them again!
Wordcount: 1.8k
gorgeous dividers by @saradika
Important: Please read this post and how to help Palestine.
The first time Joel feels itâreally feels it, settled into his bones with an undeniable weight, tugging at his heart with an unimaginable lightnessâis the night of his 57th birthday.
Months of staying out of his bedroom, of keeping you off his bed, dissolve into a forgotten time the moment you tug the glass of whiskey from his hand.
Move over, youâd said, making room for yourself amongst the place where he laid his head every night. You finish off the drink, take the rest of the poison heâd been diluting his veins with to drown out the pain of all heâd lost, and settle next to him.
He thinks he wants to see you there every night.
You ask him things like his favorite fucking color, things that donât matter. Not to him, not to youâbut you ask anyway. You meet his eyes readily, open and honest and searching his soul for the same old breaks in your own, and he feels it.
You hold his hand, and it fits there. You would fit into his side too, he muses, if he pulled you in.
He wants to pull you in. He wants you in ways nobodyâs ever had youâhe knows they havenât, can feel the trepidation in your soul when he looks at you for too long, or lets his touches linger.
Youâll fuck him like thereâs no tomorrow, because maybe there isnât, but you wonât let him hold you tender. Not that heâs tried, but he knows you. Not everything about you, but enough.
And that night, thereâs more. More to you, wounds open and pain spilling out, and it looks like his own. It is his own.
I should probably go, you say when itâs become too much, and he feels the urge to ask you to stay.
Joel asks if you want a drink instead, because heâs an idiot, and you say heâs had too much, because youâre right.
He watches from his window as you walk home under the streetlights for once instead of sticking to the darkness, and though he wonât call it what it is, he knows itâs love.
Joelâs loved you longer than that, though. Somehow he knows it, but he canât place when.
In front of his fireplace, maybe. Youâre shivering from god knows how long you had spent in the rain, in the graveyard, in your own mourning. Broken, and he wants to find each piece of you that youâve lost and put you back together.
Or at least hold you tight enough that you feel okay again. He just knows that he misses your damn smirk, your fucking laugh, and maybe that was love too.
Or maybe itâs when he wants you to be his, his, his only. When he wants to erase the image of that manâs hand on your back with his own on your skin, fingertips digging into your hips and pulling them back to slap against his.
Maybe itâs the skirt of a temptress bunched up around your waist, each desperate thrust of his cock into your needy cunt, dripping and squeezing as you say, moan, scream his name, his, his.
Maybe itâs when youâre half-naked after, admitting you donât know what the fuck this is, donât understand what itâs become, and he doesnât know either. But itâs something delicate. Maybe itâs love then.
Maybe itâs love on the bathroom floor when he realizes youâre the first friend heâs made in years.
Maybe itâs love when he wants to kill every single bastard raider who took you from him, wants to tear them apart with his bare hands and make them bleed and bleed for how much blood theyâd taken from you. Precious blood, blood that kept you alive, kept you snarky and angry and wrapped around him each time he took as much pleasure from you as he gave back.
Or itâs Halloween, the bright lights, loud music, and clothes of a bygone era. None of it real until Maria shoves the truth of the matter into his face. She tells him heâs an idiot and just what it all means, what you mean to everyone, and to him, and he finally accepts it.
Thatâs the first night he has you in his bed. The first night he sees all of you, feels all of you, skin against skin, and you come again, and again, and again. Itâs not enough, he needs to keep feeling it, needs you to fall apart in his hands so he can put you back together. A single thread he weaves through you and tugs with each ripple of pleasure, pulling you apart again with each clench of your cunt around his cock, until you pull it from him too.
You fall asleep in a matter of minutes after. Lips parted, and he wished he could watch them swell after a kiss, but you were still holding back.
So he settles for his palm on your cheek, stroking the scar that he still doesnât know how you got, and feels so much longing, so much love when you sink into his sheets, wrapped up in his favorite color that you knew because you cared to ask. Settled by just the touch of him.
Joel thinks you tried to say something that night, but heâll never know what. He does know what he wants to say, but he holds back. Heâd wait for you, even if you never wanted this too. Heâd be whatever you did want him to be.
Time passes in a blur after that, as you tangle yourselves together in ways he never wouldâve once thought possible. He doesnât move, and you lean into him. He doesnât move, just lets you come to him, too scared youâll run away again if he holds you too tight, or at all.
Then that night. A meal shared with the family youâd found. He tries to go home alone after, and you chase after him, hold him tight, and he knows. He knows what he feels, and he knows you feel it too.
He doesnât have to say it, but he wants to. Night after night he wants to, the more that you settle and the more that youâre his. The more that he is yours.
You kiss him, finallyâor he kisses you, he canât remember which. And it says it all.
Still, the words are trapped in his throat as his home truly becomes yours.
His body had already been your home for a year.
His heart, for longer than he would ever know.
But his house. Four walls that didnât mean anything, not really, not until you lived within them and your sisterâs art was on the mantle, your photograph of your parents was in your room that was his room, all your mugs in the kitchen and his coffee was your coffeeâhe needs to tell you.
He tries to every morning, in his kitchen with your cups of coffeeâor tea, with complaints falling from both his mouth and yours if you were out of your preferred beverage. He doesnât, but he knows you can taste it in the drink he brews for you, perfected to your liking.
He tries to before every patrol, in case somebody takes you from him again. He doesnât, but he knows you can see it when his eyes seek yours, when he gives you a nod and a lingering gaze before youâre out of the gates and on your way. He knows you can feel it when you both get home, his arms wrapped around you tight and the tension seeping from his body when youâre pressed to him.
He tries to every night, but itâs lost on his tongue every time it slides into your mouth. He knows you know with every kiss, every thrust of his hips from where heâd found a home nestled between your thighs, spilling himself into you as you welcomed him in and made the most beautiful music every time.
Youâre comfortable in bed months after the holidays, after that first kiss. Winter is warming into spring, the air feels like starting again, and he tries to tell you.
Youâd been reading when he crawled into bed behind you after a shower. His face buried into your neck, each drop of water onto your skin so cold it makes you shiver. But your nails dig into his forearm when it wraps around your waist, the book tumbling from your fingers as you grasp at the nightstand with each drag of his pulsing cock inside your tight heat.
The lamp on the nightstand rattles with each thrust, sending waves of warm light flashing across the room. Heâs mesmerized each time it washes across your face, pinched in the familiar climb for pleasure you trusted him to guide you through. He mouths at the scar on your cheek, caressing with lips and tongue as you gasp his name.
Youâre so beautiful. His moon, his heart, his home, his everything.
Joel wants to tell you when you come, your eyes fluttering open and seeking his. Seeking that connection between you, as hungry as you are reverent, and he doesnât deserve it, that undying loyalty. But you think the same for yourself, so what did either of you know, besides what this was.
Love, and he wants to say it. Wants to say he loves you when each flutter of your pussy around him sends him spiraling into an orgasm, a blissful moment of release he now only ever associated with you.
Half asleep after, youâre content, the warm light of the steadied lamp caressing your skin as he cleans it. You know what he wants to say, he thinks. Your eyes are heavy and lazily watching as he kisses the inside of your thigh, peppers his love up your body to your lips.
Half awake, Joel watches you reach for him, pulling him down into a soft caress of your lips against his, with more tenderness either of you ever thought you were capable of.
He wonât say it. You know he wonât.
But you know he will. Someday.
And that one morning amongst many that belong to just you and him, when you ask about other lives, when he realizes youâd want him in more than just this oneâin every oneâhe says it.
You say it back, and everything is right.
When you ask him when he first felt it, he tells you the truth; that he hadnât felt it just yet on that snowy street a year ago, but a part of him always knew he would love you.
And now, Joel knew he always would.

Touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
gigolo!Eddie x virgin!older!Reader
(part 2) (part 3)
18+Only, mature themes, intimacy smut, protected p in v, oral (f receiving), paid sex, pet names, insecurities, reader is wearing a skirt, f & m orgasm. WC: 2.8k
Summary: Reader is a 29 year old virgin introvert in need of a confidence boost. Eddie is hired to make our first time a good one. Eddie catches some feelings that he wasn't expecting. Tummy rolls are briefly mentioned, but not in a disparaging way.
A/N: I had this idea last night about him needing the intimacy as much as reader. And then my head started running with all of his possible other clients and the debauchery they could get into together, but this one is just sweet.
Today is your 29th birthday, and your friends pooled their money together to get you the one thing you desperately wanted: to not be a virgin anymore.
You hadnât been holding onto your virginity for any particular reason, but there had been several factors at play. First of all, you didnât like to leave the house much, aside from going to work and the rare meetup with friends, and so the chance of bumping into a promising sexual partner in your hallway was remote. Secondly, you considered yourself to be fairly plain; you weren't one of the babes that men drooled over or tripped over themselves in the street for. The crushes youâd had thus far were never reciprocated. No one had openly pinned over you or held a boombox over their head outside your window, and on the occasion that someone did show interest, they often did not earn your affections.Â
Your friends decided, and you agreed, that your first time should be with a professional, a guy who could give you the best first time that money could buy. Â
Enter, Eddie Munson.
Covered in tattoos, he played in a band, and had a reputation around town for being a favorite sexual companion for bored housewives and curious young women alike. He was notorious for being particular about the clients he took on, though, and he didnât just advertise in the paperâyou had to be referred by a friend. Â
That friend came in the form Robin Buckley, one of the baristas your friend Nellie worked with at the coffee shop.
âHeâll treat her right,â Robin assured her, jotting the number down. âNow, Iâve never needed his services, personally, but Iâve never met an unsatisfied customer. He makes women feelâŠdesired. As they should.â
So, there you were, two glasses of wine later, perched at the edge of the sofa in the lobby of the hotel where youâd been told to meet him. Your friends knew exactly where you were, and there had been paperwork to fill out and signâyou didnât know gigolos needed official signatures, but all the same, it stripped it down to a business transaction which is basically what it was. There were a few boxes to check off regarding things that turned you on and, conversely, triggers that he should avoid saying or doing during your time together. Did you have a praise kink or a daddy kink? Did you enjoy the use of pet names within intimacy, or was that something he should avoid? Hair pulling, choking, spitting, ass play, all of it was available for a check mark and you felt like you had the potential to compile one seriously huge fuckfest ice cream Sunday. Â
He knew you were a virgin, and that you might not even know if youâd like some of the things offered, and he promised to take that into consideration to enhance your experience on the whole.Â
Once he had accepted you as a client, he gave Nellie a safety list of things that would make your experience more enjoyable, and one of them had been not to drink too much, because he didnât want you to engage in any activity you might regret. Another one was to dress comfortably; there was no need to try and impress himâhe was the one who needed to impress you. Â
And impress you, he did.
He showed up earlier than expected, beard stubble grown in and a little scruffy (because you said you liked it that way), long hair tied back, button down black shirt cuffed at the elbows exposing his tattoos, and black jeans. He also had a bouquet of yellow daffodils clutched in his fist, wrapped in cellophane.
His eyes locked onto you immediately and you watched them light up; a smile breaking the sigh that hitched in his chest. He put the palm of his free hand over his heart as he walked toward you.
âDamn, baby, you are a sight for sore eyes,â he was beaming genuinely, as if he really meant it. âEven better in person.â Your friends had shown him a photo of you so that he would know what you looked like, but you had no idea which photo it was.
You didn't feel like you looked good, though, so you lowered your eyes as you got to your feet on wobbly legs, feeling frumpy and bloated, taking in the sharp reminder that he was being paid to lie to you. You were so nervous, your palms were sweating, and the wine was churning sour in your stomach from the swarm of butterflies in there.
âHey,â he got close enough to crook his finger under your chin and tilt your head up; his golden flecked, rye bread eyes were serious. âYou know how beautiful you are, right?â
All you could do was nod under the kind assessment of his stare, and it made a smile stretch across his lips. âThatâs my girl,â he said, introducing himself properly, handing you the daffodils.
He knew that daffodils were your favorite flower, because of the paperwork you filled out, but you never expected to receive any, since they werenât even in season. There mustâve been a flower shop somewhere that had them, and Eddie had found it. He offered his elbow for you to take.
There were two other people in the elevator, and he pulled you back flush against him, possessively holding you by your hips.
Eddie had a key to the room, and once he pushed the door open, you could tell heâd already been there. The lights were all off, but for a lamp on the opposite side of the bed near the window, and two candles lit on the desk near the TV. What you assumed was his leather jacket was the only thing hanging in the closet. You even spotted Magnum condoms and a fresh bottle of lube on the nightstand.
âHowâs the lighting, sweetheart? You want me to turn that lamp off?âÂ
You specified that you wanted the room to be dark, maybe just enough light to see what each other was doing, but you didnât want him to see you in full brightness. This whole time, youâd been too nervous to say more than one or two words. Â
âBecause, if Iâm being honest,â he slid his hand up the side of your neck, palm warm against your skin. âI really want to see you.â
âItâs fine,â you choked out, unable to hold eye contact with him for too long. God, you bet he was already regretting taking you on as a client. What a waste of a boring evening for him; but, at least he was getting paid. Â
Yet, not even a flicker of his enthusiasm for you left his eyes. He took the daffodils from you and put them on the dresser at the foot of the bed. Â
When he turned back around, he cupped both hands around the sides of your throat, thumbs at your jawline. âYou can trust me baby. If things start moving too fast, you let me know okay?â
You nodded.
âHave you ever been kissed before?â
You bit your lip and then, âa couple times. I had a boyfriend once, but it was long distance and itââ
But then Eddieâs hands slipped up to cup either side of your jaw, fingers slotting at your ears. He nudged your nose with his, then then he kissed your top lip, parting them with his tongue. Â
You closed your eyes, letting him move your head from side to side, and you couldnât help the moan that squeaked out of your throat as arousal built between your legs. He smiled against your mouth, nuzzling your nose. âYouâre a good kisser, baby.â
Deciding you liked it when he lied, you allowed yourself to become an active participant and slid your hands up his ribs, clutching him, pulling him closer. He kissed you softly a few more times, caressing your cheeks with his thumbs, and your hand found the courage to travel down yonder and see what was below his belt. Â
What you found made your eyes fly open: not only was it huge, but it was hard. Â
Eddie chuckled. âSee what you do to me?â
The one thing you had done several times was given a few blow jobs here and there, and so you were working his belt open and dropping to your knees at the same time when he stopped you, catching you at your ribs to pull you back up.
âTonight is all about you, angel,â he assured, urging you back to drop down to take a seat on the bed. You stared up at him while he straddled your legs and unbuttoned his shirt. Once the defined muscles of his chest and scattered tattoos were exposed, he helped you take your shirt off, pulling it over your head, and then he knelt before you. Â
You braced your hands behind you as he pushed your skirt up your thighs, maintaining eye contact. He caught a glimpse of the lacy underwear you had on and he lifted an approving eyebrow. Â
You swallowed hard, and then he was sliding the underwear down your legs and off, kissing your knees as he went. He came closer, arms nudging your legs wider, taking a glimpse at the glistening gift you had for him underneath. Â
Eddie bit his bottom lip, making a hungry groan. âYou gonna let me taste you, sweetheart?â
âI think so, um, yes?â your hips twitched forward a bit, begging. Normally, you were too shy to let others go down on you, but you were determined to get all you could out of this night, knowing it was a rare opportunity. Â
He brushed his lips along your thigh as his hands worked your skirt up higher. You shivered when you felt the warm breath on your swollen lower lips, and then he was watching you as his tongue flicked out in a few kitten licks. After a taste, enjoying the way you writhed, he buried his mouth, moaning, fingers clutching your thighs.
âGrab my hair, baby,â he said. âTell me how much you like it.â
So, you did just that. His ponytail tie was off, so his hair was around his shoulders, and you slid your fingers in to hold on as he took you in his mouth and rolled your bundle of nerves around with breathtaking accuracy. Â
He'd only intended to tease you a bit, but once he tasted you, he couldn't stop. He had his tongue buried inside as soon as he was able, feeling the tip of his cock leak at the gift of your arousal.
It wasnât long before you could feel yourself beginning to unravel, at it was the first time another person had brought you to that peak. The tension mounted in your belly, going taunt, before it sprang loose and a fizzy warmth gushed through your nerve endings. âjustâŠlike that,â you told him. âI think you might make meâŠâ
You held his head as you were cumming, leg jerking, head falling back, pining his ears wth your thighs. Â
He wanted you to kiss him right then and there so that you could taste your release on his mouth, and you obliged, holding his face as you did so, melting into the moment.
For the next minute, you helped each other undress, and it was all happening so organicallyâit felt so realâthat you could almost imagine he was actually your boyfriend, or someone who at the very least, wanted to be.Â
Both naked now, he held you close as you stood next to the bed, tracing a finger down the side of your face. âAre you ready, baby?â
Truly, youâd been ready your whole adult life, and you were glad you had waited for Eddie, even if this was a paid arrangement and youâd probably never see him again.
His lips tended to your neck and your breasts while he worked the condom on, making the educated decision that you were so soaking wet, he wouldnât need any extra lubrication. Â
It was the intimacy that youâd specified wanting to feel; like he was no stranger to you and this moment was something special between two people who felt deeply about each other. So, he came down close and gave you exactly that, putting his forehead to yours. âIâm gonna go slow at first, okay?â He breathed. âYou tell me if itâs too much?â
âI will, baby.â
He smiled at the way you returned the use of the pet name, feeling your body open up beneath him as anxiety and doubt morphed into trust.
âShit,â Eddie broke character for a second as the tip sank in, caught off guard at how tight you were, and he had to pull out again for a second to catch his bearings. Â
It was the closeness that he loved, too---he craved it. Heâd never had a client who wanted it this way, and it was the main reason heâd taken you on. It wasnât the virgin aspectâsurprisingly enough, heâd been a first-time experience for a good handful of his customers. It was the opportunity to pretend he was someoneâs boyfriend for the nightâa role he hadnât played in real life for far too long. The chance to pretend that you both cared deeply for each other and no one else in the world existed. Â
He sank in this time a little further than the tip, and you cursed, but then nodded for him to keep going. âAll of it, baby,â you urged, leaning into your role.
Your core was rippling around his length, aching for more.
He went half in and dipped it back and forth a few times, pausing to watch your face. Â
âIâm worried that Iââ he started, but then he realized he was breaking character again, and the vulnerability made him stiffen.
âWhat are you worried about?â You whimpered as he stretched you out a bit more. Your legs were wide, bottoms of your feet planted on the bed.
He thrust in with a shudder, both of you gasping. âIâm worried I might like this too much.â
Inside, there were party streamers exploding in your soul at the mutual yearning that ebbed between you. As you gave yourself over to him, there was a feeling that he was also giving himself over to you, and it felt so real, that you rode the wave with every fiber of your being, wrapping your legs around him, kissing him deep.
The kissing and the endearing moans were about to make him cum, so he sat back, shaking his head, and hooked your knees over his elbows. Â
He took you in from under hooded eyes as he made long, slow thrusts inside. âYouâre so fucking hot, sweetheart."
You were so deep in it, you actually believed him this time.
âHarder, baby,â you coaxed.Â
That elicited a coy smile and an eyebrow wiggle from him. âOh, that's my girl,â he breathed, and then he was fucking you so hard your tits bounced, as did your belly rolls, and you could tell he was getting off at the sight. His thumb found your nub and worked there, making you expose your throat with a whine, enjoying the wet slap of your arousal as your bodies met.
The connection and intensity between the two of you was palpable, and you couldnât tell if it was manufactured or real, but regardless, you could feel another velvet bomb inside of you about to explode. Â
His eyebrows were pinched when you found his eyes. âIâm close, Iâm close, I think IâmâŠâ
The closest youâd ever been to knowing the sweet pull of a mounting orgasm be gore that night was from those moments alone with your vibrator, and having your hole satiated by Eddie thick cock enhanced it in a way you couldâve only imagined.
âFuck, me too,â he grabbed your thighs with both hands and buried himself over and over.
It never happened this way. In fact, there had been several times when he had never cum at all: he was always very content to make it about the other person. He fully intended to wait for your second orgasm before he even tried to relieve himself, but this time it felt too good; he wanted it too fucking bad. Â
Your head snapped to the side as you came, babbling his name, walls clenching around his cock in a way that sent his hips jerking, pounding against you, pretending his seed was filling you up instead of a condom. Â
Eddie bit his lip as you both chased the high, and then his sweaty forehead was on yours again, long hair grazing your cheeks. He needed to kiss you when he was done, and that was how you liked it, too.
Your friends had only been able to pay for two hours' worth of Eddieâs time, but you ended up staying for much longer than that, at his urging. He coaxed you over to lay all of your body weight on him, and the two of you stayed like that, listening to each other breathe. You called to give them this update, and the confusion in Nellieâs voice was priceless. Â
When you were both getting dressed, Eddie started buttoning his shirt while you sat down to put your shoes on.
âHey, so, if you ever want to do this again,â he swallowed, thinking of his words while you waited, head turned to look at him. He couldnât meet your eyes, he just kept fumbling at a button. âYou wouldnât have to be a client. I mean, I wouldnât charge you.â

Do You Wanna Touch Me?
Rating: Explicit 18+ (MDNI) Pairing: Marcus Pike x Sex Worker Female Reader Words Count: 4,200 Summary: After getting his heart broken, Marcus Pike takes an assignment in Amsterdam. What started as an exploration of the red light district turns into choosing you, the most beautiful art he's ever seen. Warnings: sex work, erotic dancing, hand job, masturbation, fingering, oral (m receiving), reader wears makeup and a dress, marcus tries to escape his heartbreak, van gogh mentions, reader is college aged, dieter bravo exists in this universe
A/N: This was written for @baronessvonglitter's Fuck-tober birthday celebration. I was assigned Marcus Pike and "Do You Wanna Touch Me" by Joan Jett. Happy birthday Adriana!!! đ
Here are the songs I refer to in the fic: âDo You Wanna Touch Meâ by Joan Jett âBed Chemâ by Sabrina Carpenter âStreetsâ by Doja Cat âGod Is A Womanâ by Ariana Grande âCinemaâ by Harry Styles âThe Night Me and Your Mama Metâ by Childish Gambino Masterlist
---
Marcus doesnât do things like this. Heâs a good man, a good son, a good brother, a good friend, and most of all, a good agent. And yet, he still walks down the cobblestone street thatâs bathed in red lights.
LIVE SEX SHOWÂ SEX TOYS SEX PALACE HIGH TIMES
What in the world is he doing here? Curiosity, loneliness, being so fucking horny he canât focus on the case ahead. Youâre a good man he tells himself as he ventures deeper into the crimson alleys, the shadow of shame following closely behind him. Â
âHey handsome. Todayâs your lucky day.â A blonde man winks, handing him a gilded envelope. âYouâre invited to Galerij.âÂ
Marcus blinks down at the golden envelope, looking up to find the blonde stranger already gone from his sight. He opens the envelope, revealing a simple invitation with gold embossed text.Â
Galerij, Amsterdamâs hottest art pieces. âŹ400
Heâs a damn FBI agent, and yet heâs too intrigued and desperate for a distraction to say no. He should know better, his badge weighs heavily in his pocket. He plugs the address into his phone with a sigh and makes the quick walk to the address listed, silently atoning for his sins as he passes the Oude Kerk church. He doesnât dare make eye contact with any of the police officers situated, they might sense his shame.Â
âYouâve arrived at your destination,â the robotic voice intones. He looks up at the plain brick row home that stands out amongst the surrounding buildings covered in neon lights with windows full of girls in different levels of undress.Â
A small gold sign hangs above the unassuming black door. GALERIJ
He inhales deeply and pushes the door open. A bell jingles. Inside, an older looking woman with slicked-back blonde hair and a sharp black suit sits behind a desk.Â
âNederlands or English?â she asks, her tone clipped.
âEnglish,â he answers, his throat tight. âPlease.â
âInvitation?â
âOh, uh, here,â he hands her the invitation.Â
Without any more acknowledgment, she gestures to a black leather chair near an intricately carved golden door. âPlease take a seat.â
A bit of trepidation blooms within him as he sits down, but when he looks around, he realizes that this isnât some seedy back-alley brothel. It canât be that bad if the walls are covered in mahogany and the floor is marble.Â
The woman makes a quick phone call, speaking in a hushed voice. His palms grow sweaty. What the hell is he doing? This was supposed to be a quick exploration of something thatâs always fascinated him⊠legal vices. Yet now, he's gripping the armrests as the same stern woman brings over a clipboard and card machine.Â
âCash or charge?âÂ
âOh, cash?â he replies quickly, fumbling for his wallet. Thereâs no way heâs going to use a credit card around here, too many chances of his secret adventure getting revealed on a statement.Â
â400 euros.âÂ
He opens his wallet and unfolds his money. 100, what are you doing? 200, what are you doing? 300, Marcus, seriously, what are you doing? 350, no seriously what are you doing? 400, damn, youâre really doing it.Â
Stern woman takes the money and hands him a gold pin with a simple G etched onto it. She hits a small gold bell on her desk, a singular ring sharply echoes across the small room.Â
He pins the pin to his chest, reminding him of all the times he used to pin the old Met Museum badge to his lapel when he was a young college student in New York. This is so much more different than that, he reminds himself.Â
The golden door opens after a moment.Â
A beautiful older woman in a dark burgundy skirt and matching jacket walks out with a smile lifting her dark red lips.Â
âWelcome to Galerij. I am Maud, the curator.â she greets, offering her hand. âWhat would you like us to call you here?â
He rises and shakes her hand.Â
Canât do Marcus, canât do Pike, canât do Agent. He thinks of that one actor everyone tells him he looks like. âUhâBravo.âÂ
âVery well, Bravo,â she opens the door, moving aside allowing him to walk through. âWelcome to Galerij.â
He steps into a stark white room. The floor is shiny concrete, a singular white table with two white wishbone chairs sit in the middle of the room, a stark contrast to the entrance room on the other side of the wall. Not exactly what he was expecting. The agent in him canât help but think this would be a perfect place to kill somebody.Â
Maud motions for him to sit across from her. âHere you will make your decision on what piece youâd like. Gay or straight?â
He sits down, her question is a reminder as to why heâs really here. âStraight,â he answers, his nerves beginning to creep around him.Â
She nods. âAll of our pieces are tested, clean, and practice safe sex. Your piece will tell you what they will and wonât do once you make your choice. Do you understand?â
âYes.âÂ
âYou will have twenty minutes, your time will start once you enter your gallery. A bell will ring every five minutes, your final bell will ring twice symbolizing your last five minutes. Do not be late. Do you understand?â
âYes.â
âOf course no photos or recordings. We ask you to not even have your phone out. Do you understand?â
âYes.âÂ
âAre you ready?â she asks with a smile on her face.
âI am,â he answers. His heart is pounding.Â
She nods and presses a button, a shrill buzz echoes through the room. A hidden door opens and a large muscle and tattoo clad man with buzzed black hair and a nose ring walks out carrying a red velvet-covered book. He hands it to Maud, before standing behind her like a silent guardian.
His heart races faster than he ever thought it could when she opens the book and pushes it towards him.Â
GALERIJ with the day's date is stamped on the thick page.Â
His fingers tremble as he flips to the first page revealing a photo of an olive skinned and brown haired woman clad in dark blue lingerie with delicate yellow stars embroidered all over it lying on top of swirled silky blue sheets. Sheâs absolutely stunning.
âThis is The Starry Night.â
He nods, turning the page.Â
A pale skinned, petite woman with shockingly white blonde hair wears a light blue bra and lace panties while laying atop white flower petals. Sheâs just as beautiful as the first woman.Â
âThis is Almond Blossom.âÂ
He turns the page.Â
A dark skinned, dark haired woman sits against a yellow wall wearing two sunflower blooms over her ample chest. Her smile is wide, just like her eyes lined with bright gold glitter. Sheâs gorgeousÂ
âThis is Sunflowers.â
They all look like they just walked off the runway, all beautiful and alluring. He wonders whatâor whoâthe next piece will be. He smiles to himself when he realizes theyâre all named after Van Gogh. Of course heâd find himself in an art themed brothel⊠he just canât escape work.Â
âBefore you see my fourth piece, please know sheâs a little different. You cannot touch her, only watch. Donât let that sway your decision, she is our most popular piece.âÂ
He braces himself as he turns the page.Â
He loses his breath when he sees you. There you are, sitting cross-legged against the same color wall as Sunflowers. He can just see a glimpse of your nipples under your sheer indigo bra. Your green lined eyes leer at the camera. He thanks all the stars in Starry Night for his chance to even get a look at you. Heâs lost in time at how your skin glows against the golden wall.Â
âWow,â he breathes out.Â
âI believe you made your decision,â Maud says with a knowing smile. âThis is Irises.âÂ
âYes,â Marcus swallows, his throat suddenly dry. âIrises please.â
She nods and closes the book. âPieter, let Irises know.â
âOkay Bravo,â Maud says with a smile and stands. âPieter will come and get you when Irises is ready. Please do enjoy my gallery.âÂ
âThank you Maud,â he says, wiping his sweaty hands against the fabric of his jeans.Â
The fading sound of Maud and Pieterâs steps and a door closing leaves him all alone in the sparse room.
He hopes he looks good enough for you. His dark blue jeans are presentable enough, his plain gray v neck is clean, he thanks himself for spritzing himself with a dash of cologne before leaving his hotel. He knows he paid the equivalent of close to $450 for you to like him, but he still wants to impress you.Â
He checks his watch, five minutes have passed. Heâs too afraid to bring his phone out, so he just stares forward, nervously tapping his foot.
This wasnât his plan at all, he was just going to explore and sightsee, nothing more. No drugs, no sex, just curiosity.Â
The door opens. Pieter appears.Â
âIrises is ready,â he announces, his accent thick. âFollow me.â
He tentatively trails Pieter through the door walking down a hallway lined with doors. Ornate golden frames hang with Van Gogh pieces in each one. They reach the door with Irises hung next to it.
âTwenty minutes,â Pieter says flatly, opening the door. âSit in the chair. Do not touch. You watch.â
Marcus nods, his heart slamming against his chest. His knees almost buckle as he steps inside the room.Â
Itâs dark, save for a single spotlight shining down on a small stage, a lone purple velvet high back chair sits waiting for him in the middle of it. His shaky legs take him up the three steps before he lowers into it, hands clenching the wide armrests, trying to control his breathing.Â
He shouldn't be hereâ-he knows that. Itâs too late for regrets now.
The click-clack of your heels echoes through the room when you step onto the stage. Heâs too nervous to turn his head to see you. His body tenses, anticipation coiling all of his muscles tight. When you finally step in front of him, he has to remind himself to breathe.
Youâre beautiful, the light catches on the sheer fabric of your dress. He can just make out the curves of your body, naked under light lavender chiffon. Your eyes are lined with deep purple eyeliner, ending into a cat eye at the corners. Your ruby red lips curl up into a knowing smile, almost as if you can see his desire for you.Â
Four thousand miles away from home and heâs just found the most beautiful woman heâs ever laid eyes on. His cock begins to thicken, the shame of his paid for voyeurism adventure dissolving from his mind. Youâre finer than any masterpiece heâs ever had to investigate.Â
âHi Bravo,â you purr, your voice smooth and teasing, âDo you wanna touch me?âÂ
He nods and coughs nervously. âY-yes. But, I canât.â
A slow, knowing smile spreads across your lips. âGood boy.âÂ
His back tightens, a wave of heat flows down his spine and settles in his lap. For too long heâs disallowed himself from feeling this type of pleasure. Too busy, too sad, too heartbroken. What led him here feels like a blur. An exchange of glances, a subtle wink, an invitation. The black door, âŹ400 out of his wallet, a white room, an open red velvet book, the long hallway, Irises. He allows himself to enjoy the experience just as you send him a wink.
Youâre like his own little gallery show standing in front of him. A piece of art he doesnât just want to seeâbut memorize.
â
Youâve only been doing this for a few months now. It really is the perfect side hustle to support yourself while finishing your art degree. Youâve been enamored with Van Goghâs art since you were a child, a lifelong dream realized when you were accepted into the student exchange program at the University of Amsterdam. You made it possible, and now, working two nights a week in between coursework, you're making more than most of your friends earn in an entire week. Of course, only a select few know what you really mean when you say you work at a very exclusive gallery.
Itâs a good job. Maud takes good care of you, vetting those who enter her establishment with her keen client recruiters on the streets. Pieter is always a buzz away, though youâve never felt danger. Everyone needs an escape, some just agree to pay a premium for it. They call it the oldest profession for a reason.Â
Bravo. Heâs your last customer tonight, and they sure did save the best for last. You watched him approach on the security camera, a smile formed when you noticed how much he resembled your favorite actor, you had plans for him. His wide shoulders, broad body, thin beard, and perfect head of hair almost made you think it was him, if it wasnât for his eyes flickering around the room nervously. Thereâs no way Dieter Bravo would be anxious in this type of situation.Â
You press play on the stereo. A quick drumbeat starts, your steps keep tempo with it as you come back to stand in front of your client.
Turning around and bending over, your hips dance to the beat of the song as your hands roam along your curves, lifting your dress to give him a peek of your thighs and ass. A low groan rumbles behind you.
âDo you like what you see?â you ask, slowly turning to face him, moving your hands up and down your body.
âY-yes,â he stammers, his nervous eyes wide and plush lips parted.Â
Those same nervous eyes watch as you bunch the fabric of your dress up and take it off, tossing it aside. He eyes you, brows furrowed in concentration, eyes exploring all of you like youâre a painting hanging in a gallery.Â
You cup your breasts, feeling the velvety warmth of your skin beneath your fingers as the purple of your nail polish brushes against your hardened nipples. Slowly you tilt your head down and let a trail of spit fall to one nipple.Â
âDo you wanna touch me?â you ask, pinching and pulling the sensitive peaks of your nipples. âMmphâmmhmm,â he groans, nervously shuffling in his seat.Â
Bending forward and placing your hands on his knees gives him the perfect view of your breasts. A long sigh comes from him, his eyes planted on your tits. You like what youâre doing to him, you never start your dances off this close to a client, but you canât resist him.
When your hands trail up to his thick thighs, the bulge of his pants makes your mouth water, tempting you to move towards it. Not yet.
Leaning closer, you nuzzle against the warmth of his neck. He smells delicious⊠like eucalyptus and maple syrup. His quickening breaths puff out against your hair. You taste his skin with your tongue, licking your way up to his ear.
âDo you wanna touch me?â you ask along with the song.
âY-yeah,â he stutters.Â
Pulling away, you wink before turning your back to him and delicately sit atop his lap. Sinking down against his broad chest, the heat radiating off him burns hot against your back. The song changes just as you feel the poke of his erection against your ass.
A poppy beat soundtracks your movements as you grind yourself against the heft of him, falling back, placing your head against his wide chest. Reaching back, your hands tangle in his soft hair, humming sweetly along to the sound, letting a few lyrics slip out of your mouth.
âI bet you weâd really have good bed chemâ
Your client follows directions very well, staying perfectly still, gripping the armrests so hard the golden skin around his knuckles turn white. You rub yourself against the rough fabric of his jeans, getting off on the quiet whimpers he leaves in your ear.Â
RING. The fifteen minute bell rings.
âAnd I bet itâs even better than in my headâ
You rise off his lap and bend over clasping your hands around your ankles, giving him the perfect view of your ass and dripping core. The song fades out, a deeper, sultrier drumbeat begins.Â
âLike you, like you, ooh, I found it hard to find someone like youâÂ
Your body gently sways along to the slow, sultry beat, and when you flip your head back to glance at him, he lets a low groan out. Placing your hands on the floor, you walk them out ahead of you before youâre on all fours, spreading your legs wide to show him even more of your glistening pussy.Â
âDo you wanna touch me?â you ask, settling on your stomach, snaking a hand between your wide spread legs.Â
âY-yes,â he huffs.Â
âI know you do Bravo,â you tilt your hips up hovering them above the ground, âlet me show you how I like it.â
Your middle finger enters your soaked entrance as your thumb gently dusts light circles against your clit. Your hips move in beat to the heavy rhythm of the song.Â
âOh god,â he pants, when you stick another finger in, the chair creaking underneath his tensity.Â
RING. The ten minute bell rings.
Choreography, thatâs the business term for what youâre doing. Itâs all timed out, you hear these songs at least ten times every work day. Though you never sit on your clients as close as you did with Bravo, you never taste their skin like you did with Bravo. He deserves more than the same memorized steps, something better than the repetition you offer all of the others.Â
The song changes, signaling you to start your new routine, you ignore the cue, rolling onto your back, arching slightly, your eyes meet his. His hands remain clamped on to the armrests, fingers digging into the velvet. Heâs trembling with restraint, beads of sweat glistening on his skin. His erection swells, the tight fabric of his pants tenting.Â
âDo you wanna touch me Bravo?â
âI do,â he whines, the lines of his neck straining as his head thuds against the back of the chair.Â
âOkay, okay baby,â you sit up, turning to crawl towards him. Your eyes donât leave his.Â
âAnd I can be all the things you told me not to be
When you try to come for me, I keep on flourishingâ
Kneeling on your knees in front of him, you unlock one of his clutched hands, moving it to the soft skin of your breast.Â
âN-no touching I thought,â he stammers, his hand laying flat against your skin.
âI make my own rules, itâs okay Bravo,â you allow, grabbing his other hand and placing it on you.
He groans when he cups your breasts in his hands. You watch the tendons of his strong hand tense and release as he cups your breasts and massages them in his hold. Heâs mesmerized by his movements, like he canât believe youâre allowing him to touch you.Â
Your hand teases its way up his leg to the warmth of the apex of his thighs before gripping him, thick and hard underneath the constraints of his jeans.Â
âOh fuck,â he growls. âFuck, fuck, fuck. Youâre so beautiful.â
His words of adoration fall out of his mouth, eyes still locked on your tits covered by his hands.Â
You unbuckle his belt, unbuttoning and unzipping his jeans as the choir sings God is a woman.Â
The song changes.
âYou got, you got the cinemaâ
Your eyes light at the sight of his cock, standing tall and thick, precum leaking from the engorged tip. Itâs just as beautiful and wide as the rest of your client.Â
Bravo lets out a garbled groan when you wrap your hand around his length, slowly pumping him along to the song. Up, down, up, down, the sexy beat soundtracking your movements.Â
RING. RING. The five minute bell rings. Your client doesnât seem to heed the warning, only focusing on his thumbs swiping back and forth against the peaks of your nipples and your hand stroking the smooth silk of his cock.
âTouch me Bravo,â you rise, lifting a foot up on the armrest, keeping hold of his pulsing dick in your hand. âGive me two of your fingers.âÂ
His eyes gaze down to your dripping cunt, watching himself as his hand sweeps down your body before parting your folds.Â
You got, you got the cinema
You got, you got the cinema
Your hips undulate to the tempo of the song as he sticks two of his long, thick fingers into your heat.Â
âGod damn,â he mutters incredulously, âyouâre so wet.â
The song changes.Â
A steady and slow funky guitar plays along with a soulful choir. Itâs soft and romantic, exactly what you like to close down your shows with. Youâve never ended a show like this, your hand wrapped around your clientâs wide cock, and your pussy clenching around two of his thick fingers. His thumb begins sweeping back and forth against your clit, he may have found himself at a brothel in Amsterdam, but your client has done this before. Perfect movements, perfect angle, you stare down in reverie at the focus he holds, watching himself touch you. His adoration of your body heats your core, lighting an orgasm just as beautiful as the song that plays.Â
âFuck baby,â you pant, âIâm gonna cum.â
He blinks up to you, brown eyes staring intensely into yours when you bite your lip and send a gush of wet against his fingers. Your legs turn shaky, as your clit pulses against his thumb that blesses your sensitive bub with just the right amount of pressure. Moving his hand from between your thighs, he holds it up, marveling at the sight of your juices shining against his skin. You send him a smile as your leg drops to the floor, the rest of your body following, kneeling in front of him. He still stares at his hand, watching the strings of your orgasm stretch across his widely spread fingers.Â
âSmear it on your cock for me,â you say, planting both hands on his thighs.Â
He groans and nods before rubbing the remnants of your orgasm on his shaft. He shouts an indistinguishable sound when you lick a line up to his tip, tasting yourself and the salty tang of his precum. Your lips envelop the fat tip of him, sucking and slobbering your way down the thick length of him.Â
The song ends, the playlist repeats. The same quick drumbeat of the first song plays loudly.Â
You suck him to the beat, flicking your tongue against his tip with each âYEAH!â of the song.
RING. RING. RING. The final bells ring, signaling that your client should have left by now.
Bravo locks up. Your mouth unclasps from his cock.
âItâs okay,â you assure, âwe have a word forââ
A heavy knock lands against the door.Â
âDriehoek (triangle) Pieter! Iâm good in here, thanks!â
Three rapid knocksâsofter nowâsignal Pieterâs departure.
âYou guys really have it all figâoh god,â he moans, when you take his cock back into your mouth. Â
His strong legs shake against your body as your cheeks hollow, taking him into your mouth faster and harder, his hips thrusting up to meet your mouth. Drool leaks out of the sides of your mouth, your eyes stare up at him blinking back tears as he reaches the back of your throat. You donât know if heâs ever allowed himself this much freedom, it feels like youâve unlocked something deep within him with the way heâs snarling and grunting âIrisesâ over and over.
âG-gonnaâyeahâyeahâcum,â he gasps, hips stuttering and chair creaking as he spills into your accepting mouth.Â
Bravo, client. Bravo.
â
He canât believe he just did that. He justâheâhe justâ came in the mouth of a complete strangerânayâa prostitute. You told him youâve never done something like that with a client as you tossed him a towel⊠and the funny thing is he actually believes you.Â
You shuffle back into the see through lilac dress as he zips his jeans back up. You really are the most beautiful girl heâs ever seen, even if your purple eyeliner is now streaked from the tears that sprung in your eyes from gagging on his cock. Wow, that did just happen.Â
You leave a kiss against his cheek and open the door for him. Pieter escorts him out the back entrance with a knowing smile.Â
He walks back to his hotel, a new man with a clearer mind. Marcus really doesnât feel the shame he expected he would. He knows a fine piece of art, and you just might be the finest heâs ever seen.Â

a good host [k. heisenberg]
PAIRING â KARL HEISENBERG x DIMITRESCU!READER
TROPE â DBF! [here, motherâs friend, no really close relation] WORD COUNT â 2469
WARNINGS â NSFW. 18+. fem!reader. f!masturbation, usage of sex toys, virgin!reader, voyeurism, hefty age-gap (reader is in early 20s, Karl is in his 50s), vaginal fingering, innocence/corruption kink, cursing, pet-names (bunny, little girl, etc.), slight degradation (he calls you a whore), slightly mean!Karl, orgasm denial, dacryphilia, squirting, overstimulation, clit-play.
A/N â i just think heisenberg would be a good fuck, thatâs itâ thatâs what motivated this. iâm slowly rising like a phoenix out of the fires of writerâs block, so, slowly but surely iâm trying to get back on track with my requests and works. though, a full comeback might take a few months. no mention of Alcides [ gender-bent Lady Dimitrescu ], didnât want to jinx the two verses, so Alcina is Alcina.
more from my âresident evil: villageâ world.
âFUCK,â YOU GROAN as you shut the door to your chambers behind you.
youâd excused yourself for the umpteenth time, now inconsiderate of how rude you would seem to the man youâve been leaving all alone in the cold and empty dining room of your manor.
well, your motherâs.
and a friend, too.
well, not a friend.
Karl Heisenberg and Alcina Dimitrescu would prefer the term, â(unfortunate) associatesâ, but manners run well in a nobleâs blood so itâs natural for the two to try and be cordial.
and itâs the same manners, the same etiquettes instilled in you that have put you in this state.
flushed, embarrassed, and wet.
you couldnât bare to look Heisenberg in the eye while he made small talk with you in your home.
his round, black glasses were perched on the tip of his strong nose, his hat, like a loyal companion, sat next to him on a wooden chair, his greyed hair, out and frisky. his overcoat had been long abandoned, perhaps, at the very entrance to the castle, so his beige undershirt, clasped around his big broad muscles and softer belly didnât go unnoticed by you.
fuck, the more you took in his appearance, the hotter became the air in the room, your ability to breathe and the more frantically youâd rub some friction between your thighs.
YOUâVE FOUND KARL HEISENBERG INSATIABLE since you were a little girl, which you still were in his eyes, as he painfully reminded you every time by referring to you by that and nothing else. as of lately, your urges around him have worsened.
since your eighteenth birthday, Heisenbergâs began to look at you a little differently.
he listens carefully to the squeaky little bunny thatâs lately got the balls to interrupt her own mother and company, correct them in political matters. yeah, Heisenbergâs began to notice you. earlier, your greetings would be dismissed with a nonchalant wave in the air, but now? heisenberg could hear you talk for hours, so desperately wanting to hear the sultry tone of your voice that heâd ask to hear the same story about your earliest memory hunting, over and over again.
so, to say he felt appalled by your frequent exits from your evening togetherâ an evening he had committed to your mother, had Alcina been homeâ was an understatement.
after the third time you had left him alone, his impatience and ego got the best of him, though there was an undertone of curiosity there, too. so, he, sly as a fox, followed you to your room.
your back was pressed against the door, muffling your cries while you rubbed your clit down with a toy. you were in a trance, mind fogged with painful lust that drove your legs on its own fervour. you sink into your bed, ripping your dress off of yourself in a swift motion, and hiding your bare skin with a poor excuse of a duvet.
your toy was swimming in your slick with every rub against your cunt.
âfucking hell,â you moaned when the tip of the toy nudged your slit, massaging your hole, easing in only to pull out immediately.
while you edged yourself, thoughts of Karl crawled in, like their usual tendency. you fantasised about his big hands, how they were resting on your knee for a brief second, before continued sipping on his earl grey tea.
you sighed when his name escaped your parted lips. you wanted nothing more than to be split open on his cock, at his mercy. your mother would be so ashamed if she ever finds out one of her most disliked friends is the prime source of your infatuation.
you think about his lips on yours, your breasts, his fingers inside you, on your clitâ you whined, âthis so wrong, but fuck me,â
AND KARL HEISENBERG COULDNâT AGREE MORE.
admiring you from afar, he couldnât help but feel a twitch of arousal in his pants. he is no damn saint, but he knew it was wrong of him to enter your room without permission. not his fault, your moans sounded like cries, so you worried him, he just wanted to make sure youâre okay. and his reason for staying to watch the show? well, like i said, heâs no goddamn saint. he just wants to make sure youâre really okay.
âso this is what you keep hopping off to do, little bunny.â his thunderous voice roared in the quiet of your room, the transatlantic accent deeper once laced with lust and mischief.
you jolted upright, âL-Lord Heisenberg!â you clutched the duvet to your chest, failing to cover a breast, still, and his eyes were quick to catch your mistake.
âplease, call me Karl.â
âyou seemed to have no problem in moaning it.â
you froze, clenching involuntarily around the the length of your penetrating toy.
âiââ
âshh, itâs okay.â your stammering was interrupted by a single step taken by Karl closer to you.
âi donât mind, bunny.â he cooed, softly.
he took this moment to admire you.
you looked like a deer caught in headlights. your doe eyes, furrowed brows, plump, parted lips, the subtle perspiration settled on your collarbone, the duvet clinging to your cleavage and your pebble-like nipples peaking through it.
âiâm just mad you had to hide the show from me.â by the time those words leave his mouth, heâs on the foot of your bed. âthought Mama Dimitrescu wouldâve taught you better, sweet girl.â he âtskâed.
âA GOOD HOST ISNâT SELFISH, HM?â
âA GOOD HOST LETS THE GUEST JOIN IN ON THE FUN,â he says; nods convincingly. a gentle hand inching towards your blanketed body, ready to peel the duvet off and expose you in all vulnerability.
he eyes you for a moment, face searching for any sign of hesitation or discomfort, but was pleased to see you rip all coverings off yourself on your own, grabbing Karl by the hand and pulling him towards you.
his face was so close to yours, you felt heat emitting from your body onto his.
ânow, little bunny, are you sure yoââ
you cut him off by placing a kiss of fervency on his lips, giving Heisenberg the answer to questions he was yet to ask.
he let you enjoy the lead for a brief moment more, before taking control. laying you down, Karl was quick to climb on top of you, his hands not wasting a minute to feel your body beneath him.
âiâd be lying if i said i didnât want this, too, little bunny.â you gasped at the confession, Karl using your parted lips as an opportunity to slip his tongue in your mouth.
you were kissing your motherâs friend, holy fuck.
âtell me, baby,â he pulled away, eliciting a whine from you. he now laid besides you, relishing the warmth of your bare body.
ââyou ever put a real cock in there?â his hand grabbed a hold of the toy, easing in the tip into your slick folds.
your mind went blank, grinding your hips slowly into the sudden intrusion. âwhen i ask you a question, little girl, you answer it.â Heisenbergâs voice deepened in dominance. ân-no, sir.â you shook your head.
Karl groaned in arousal.
the thought of stripping away your innocence was so intoxicating.
âof course not. that brute dame knows better than to let you out of this shithole.â he scoffs, evidently insulting your mother, for reasons he named himself, âthe minute you ought to step out, men would be pouncing on you like rabid dogs.â
he didnât stop pumping the toy inside you, agonisingly slow, leaving you whining and begging for more.
âyou want more, huh, bun?â he spoke so gently. you nodded, unable to form words because of the aching sensation between your legs.
âokay, iâll give you more.â he lifted you up like you weighed a feather, placing you between his legs. his own were positioned between yours, so all it took for him to have you spread out was just a nudge of his knees.
âthere we go, now spread that pretty pussy for me.â he rested his head on your shoulder, watching eagerly while you hesitated a little to comply.
he put his hands on yours,
and they fit like pieces of an intricate puzzle.
enveloping your smaller ones completely, his hands guided yours to spread your pussy open. the cold air of your room hit your leaking slit, causing you to shudder in his arms.
âlook at you glistening, baby.â
âmy god,â he groaned, rubbing your hand (and his atop) into your slick.
you sighed into the feeling of your soft hands, mixed with his large, rough ones.
âshow me how you please that little pussy.â he whispered in your ear, kissing your lobe.
you nodded, biting your lower lip at his vulgarity.
a lord, yet so crude.
you began toying with your clit, rubbing figure-eights on the swollen bud. Karlâs hands wasted no time in fondling your breastsâ groping, squeezing, twisting your nipples, tugging at themâ only adding more pleasure to the sensation.
âease one in.â
you werenât sure what he mumbled until he decided to take matters into his own hands (literally) and rubbed a finger against your slit.
you swore you forgot how to breath when the sharp sensation of the digit penetration was felt.
âKarlâŠâ you moaned, relishing in the feel of being stretched open.
âwhat do you think about when you touch yourself?â he asked, velvety voice dripping honey on you.
simply answered, âyou.â
he kissed your neck, âi know, bunny. but what in specific?â
âuh~â
âtell me.â he grunted, pushing another finger inside.
ây-your hands⊠i think about your fingers⊠inside me.â
you mewed hearing him groan in your ear, the subtle nuzzle of his head into your neck urged you to continue. ââwant nothing more than your cock pounding meâ wanna be at your mercy, Karl!â
âfuck, baby,â Karl groaned at your vulgarity; even you were surprised at the profanities leaving your lips but the lust hazed cloud in your mind burst with rains of arousal.
âiâll give what you want for being such a good girl.â he purred in your ear, discarding the drenched toy. your whine at the loss of contact turned into a gasp when he so carelessly threw away your toy to the corner of the room.
you looked up at him through your lashes, feigning faux offense at the abandonment of your favourite companion on a lonely night. âdonât worry,â assured Karl, grinning.
âyou wonât be needinâ that no more.â he grinned, plunging two of his thick digits right into your core.
you were stretched like a spring at the hands of this rugged noble. he nuzzled his head into your collarbones, the rugged stubble adorning his handsome face prickling your soft flesh.
Karl bit, licked, sucked, and nibbled, while you writhed, moaned, shivered, and cried in ecstasy.
âsuch a naughty girlâ âacting so noble and sophisticated all the time, but when Mamaâs friend comes in sight, you start cussing like a sailor with the libido of a pervy sleazeball.â he chuckled at his own descriptions of you, while you hadnât registered a word he said, simply clenching and unclenching around his experienced fingers, moaning his name with every haggard breath.
âc-close!â you hiccuped, tears staining your rosy face.
âgod, youâre so beautiful.â Karl groaned, licking the shell of your ear. you shuddered, not knowing if it was at his lewd actions or the mere compliment.
Karl breathed in your scent, your sensual oud suppressed by the sweet fragrance of your arousal.
he pulled out his fingers.
you began crying.
âwhyâŠ?â you sobbed, âbecause,â he explained.
âyouâve not been a very good host, baby girlâ leaving your guest waiting like that. only fair you donât get release this soon, hm?â
he cooed his justification and you weeped like you had committed the most heinous crime.
your hole fluttered around the damp, chill air of your room. gaping around the new nothingness that replaced the stuffed fulfilling treatment you were receiving prior.
âplease, iâm sorryâ iâm⊠iâll do better next timeââ
ânext time?â Karl was quick to intervene.
âwhat makes you think thereâll be a ânext timeâ?â
your glassy eyes widened, âplease, Karl, iâm begging you.â
âhmâŠâ he hunched over your shoulder, chin prodding into your shoulder blade while he looked over at you, nonchalantly. not even an ounce of remorse, amusement, if anything.
âokay. since Mommy taught you manners,â
he rammed his fingers back into your cunt, a look of devilish glee spread across his face.
in and out, in and out, in and curl.
you screamed when he hit that spongy spot inside of you, dead-on. Karl was quick to cover your mouth.
ânow, now, we donât want sweet olâ Pasha hearing us, do we?â he slowed, referring to the chamberlain thatâs often posted right outside your door. you shook your head, urging him to go faster like he was.
âgood fucking girl,â he groaned, feeling you pulsate around his wrinkled fingers.
âgive me a show, host. make it worth the hours you kept me waiting. âdry and hanginâ.â he nudged your legs wider, further apart with his knees. the hand that covered your pretty lips now wrapped itself around your own hand.
a sweet moment that lasted mere seconds, he took your interlaced fingers and placed them on your clit, shaking your hand fervently.
your brows furrowed, vision blurred as you peaked. afraid you canât let go, but heâll make you.
heâll make you lose control, just like heâs made you his.
with one last push, or shove of his fingers, he quickly pulled them out, and broke the dam of pleasure.
your slick gushed out of your drooling cunt, drenching everything, including the two of you, nearby.
Karl chuckled, triumphantly. still rubbing fervently at your overstimulated clit, urging more of your juices to squirt out.
ânow, thatâs a show, darling.â he chuckled, grabbing your flushed face by the chin and connecting your lips to a passionate, chaste kiss.
when you closed your legs, he slapped your thigh, causing you to wince and jerk them open.
ââthe hell are you doing?â he asked, seemingly offeneded.
âare you kicking me out?â he raised a brow, a sarcastic smile threatening to break on his face.
âb-but i thought we wereââ
âdone? oh, no, baby. you left me alone in that dining room thrice this evening.â
âthis was just the first of three.â
ânow, ass up, face down.â he manhandled you in the blink of an eye.
âyour guestâs gotta entertain himself.â
he chuckled, and you nearly choked when you felt something mean, and thick prodding at your abused folds.â
you were in for a long night with your guest.

birthday kiss
pairing: roomate!spencer reid x reader
description: its readers birthday!
tags: fluffy fluff, first kiss, gn!reader, expensive watch but its okay because papa pasta paid for it, idk bro there are no warnings this is just cute.
a/n: more roomate spencer because i am a sucker for close proximity. this is the watch for reference (i rlly want it, let me live) and im choosing to be ignorant about spencers financial sitch, but in this its a tad too expensive for him. watched gilmore girls before writing this and had the overwhelming urge to write (somewhat) snappy dialogue. happy reading!
wc: 882
âmake a wish.â
spencer holds out the cupcake with a single candle on it infront of your face. you blow out cold air extinguishing the frame with your eyes closed.Â
âwhatâd you wish for?â you.
âi can't tell you, it won't come true.â
the two of you are sitting on the couch, facing each other. it's midnight, which means it's officially your birthday. spencer picked up a cupcake on the way home from work, it was red velvet with assorted coloured sprinkles, very festive. you split the cupcake with him, laughing when he inevitably gets frosting on his nose, swiping it off with your thumb.Â
âso i got you something,â he starts as stands up to go get it.
âoh?â
âyeah,â he hands you a neatly wrapped box, sitting back down next to you, a little closer this time to gauge your reaction. you peel away the paper and a red leather box reveals itself, and in small print; cartier.
âspencer, this isn't funny,â you look up at him, eyes wide.
âopen it,â he urges.
you open the box, and your breath hitches. the most beautiful silver watch sits inside itâone you've had your eye on for months.
âthis isn't funny,â you repeat, looking at the watch in disbelief.Â
he swipes the box, taking the watch out and putting it on you, seeing as how you're frozen. he holds your wrist gently, admiring the piece he got you. he can't help but lift your wrist up and press a kiss to the soft skin, letting his lips linger there for a moment before putting it down.
his tenderness makes you frown. you look down and let out a slightly incredulous scoff. âi can't believe youâŠâ you trail off before returning your glance to him, âhow did you afford this?â
âi've got money.â
âi know you do. but you're also splitting the rent with me so that has to put up some spending limitations.â
âok fair enough,â he surrenders, ârossi hooked me up, and by hooked me up, i mean he paid for most of it.â
you smile, a bright beautiful smile that loves. âthat sly fox,â you chuckle, âremind me to kiss him next time i see him.â
âhe gets a kiss and i don't?â he fake pouts.
âno, you get a kiss,â you lean over and lightly peck his cheek, you stay close. your lips are still curled up but this time it's a giddy grin.
you have an idea.
âi got something for you too.â
âit's not my birthday, why would you get me something?â
âit just came up,â you shrug.
âokayâŠâ his uselessly veiled scepticism is very obvious.
âclose your eyes.â
he does and a small crease forms between his eyebrows in confusion when you don't get up, he can feel the way the cushions dip as you shift in your seat, you're moving closer? why haven't you left to go get it yet? maybe it's in your pocket? maybe-
all rational thought vanishes from his mind when he feels your lips on his, soft. your hand is on his cheek as you kiss him. it's gentle and hesitant and he feels as though he might explode. careful not to make you think he doesn't reciprocate, spencer kisses you back, with a touch of desperation. you hum quietly into the kiss and pull back, resting your forehead on his.
âthank you,â you whisper, the soft puffs of your breath can be felt on his face and he relishes in the proximity.
he laughs, low and behind closed lips. âyou're welcome. if i had known that getting you a watch would have earned me a kiss, i would've done it a lot sooner.â
âdon't get too excited, dave gets one too.â
he shakes his head with a scoff, forehead still pressed against yours.
âthats what i wished for by the way.â
he leans his head back to look at you, âus kissing?â
âmhm, something like that.â you wished for a lot more than kissing but for now this was perfect.
âwell, you know what they sayâŠâ
âwhat?â you inquire, amused.
âif the wish is granted within five minutes of the wish making, you're allowed a second one.â
âreally? where'd you hear that?â
âi read it somewhere.â
âno sources?â you retort.
ânope, forgot.â
âlikely story.â
you roll your eyes yet you humour him, picking up the liner filled with the mound of frosting you picked off your share of the cupcake earlier and sticking the previously lit candle into it. spencer grabs the match box and relights it.
you get all up in his space again, face dangerously close to his with the contraption you've made held next to you. âi wish you'd kiss me again,â you request, turning your head to blow out the flame.Â
his fingers catch your chin to bring your face back to him, âwe can definitely arrange that.â
you giggle as his lips hover over yours. âif this wish gets granted within the first five minutes too, do i get a third?â
âyou can have whatever you want, angel.â
âgood deal,â you murmur against his lips as he kisses you.
it was just a little over 15 minutes into your birthday but you could say with full certainty that this one was going to be your favourite.

The Birthday - An Interlude - Halloween
"Mommy says when you get scared, you forget your potty training," a soft feminine voice whispered in my ear.
"Mommy says Halloween makes you a scaredy cat, ready to jump at the tiniest spooky or scary thing," the voice continued.
I moaned in my half-asleep state, wondering what was going on, and beginning to feel a deep anxiety form in the pit of my stomach.
"Mommy says that she is the only one who can console you when you get scared."
At the third strange command, I opened my eyes and the reality of what was happening hit me. I was greeted by my wife's grinning face.
"Mommy, please, no!" I said exasperated as Melody gave me a soft, motherly kiss to my forehead.
"Good morning, baby. Happy Halloween!" is all she said as she ignored my futile protest.
It had been nearly six months since the fateful weekend where my wife had discovered my AB/DL kink and treated me to a birthday weekend of both my dreams and nightmares.
Since that weekend, very little had actually changed in my life. Melody had lifted most of the hypnotic triggers she had implanted in me (although I was still forced to refer to her as Mommy, exclusively). She almost never used her 'Mommy says' trigger against me, only reminding me of it if I got "too big for my britches" as she liked to put it.
The only major change is that my little hobby as an AB/DL smut author had become a little more complicated. Melody still allowed me to write my 'little stories' as she liked to put it, but I was no longer the final arbiter of what got posted.
Mommy made me show her each and every story I wrote, and she decided whether it was good enough and 'appropriate' enough to get posted. She also made me make a post apologizing for the treatment of the female characters in my story and explain her newly assumed role of Mommy-editor-in-chief.
My reputation as a big and a dom took a drastic hit. But, over the course of a few months, things settled back down and we settled into comfortable dynamic and rhythm.
That was, until I woke up to my wife's new commands this morning.
"Mommy, please, what did I do? I've been a good boy! You can't do this to me!"
I hated how whiney and small I sounded pleading with my wife like this, but I had long since had my pride beaten out of me.
"Halloween is my favorite holiday! If I can't control myself when I'm scared, if I get scared easily, if I need you to calm me down, I'll⊠I'll⊠I'llâŠ"
I couldn't finish my sentence as I realized that, in the early morning hour, the room was still dark. I noticed shadows dancing around the corners of the room and suddenly, a pang of terror, raced through me.
I felt my sheets grow warm and wet beneath me as I let out a panicked cry.
"Mommy!"
I dove for my wife's arms, horrified and desperate for her, the only person I could see as my protector, to help me.
She laughed softly as she pulled me into her arms, and I felt my rational mind retake control.
"Aw, is my little baby afraid of the dark? And," I feel her pat my wet butt, "did you have a little accident! Let Mommy help make it all better."
I whined as she got out of bed and turned on the light, subconsciously rebelling against the lose of the comfort being held by her provided.
As the light turned on, a feeling of relief washed over me as the phantoms in the corners of the room dematerialized. At the same time, I blushed as the light revealed the shameful puddle I had just made in the bed.
"Mommy, please, Halloween is my favorite, you can't make me, force me, let me⊠I can't be this," I pleaded as Melody walked over to inspect the damage to our bed.
She reached over and brushed her fingers lightly on my cheek as she responded to my pleas.
"Oh, my precious little pants-piddler, you and I both know that Mommy can and will make you be whatever I want," She bent over, making eye contact with me as she showed off her ample cleavage, "And today, I want you to be Mommy's perfect little scaredy-cat toddler."
I groaned, knowing there was absolutely nothing I could do to resist Melody's power over me.
"Ok, Mommy," I responded, defeated.
"Perfect, now, let's get you diapered up before some little ghoul or goblin scares you again, and you make another mess."
I just sighed and laid on my back as I waited for Melody to diaper me so the worst Halloween of my life could begin in earnest.

day fourteen of salem's unofficial attempt at kinktober:
heat sex/breeding/touch starved/"knife" play (husk x reader)
a/n: it's my birthday; have some desperate, needy, heat-overcome husk.
knife play refers to husk being a little too forthright with his claws.
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
âHey, honey, Charlie said youâd been stuck up here the last few days,â you say as you toss your key on top of the bureau and immediately begin to shed your clothes. You toe off your shoes, leaving them haphazardly on the floor as you turn towards the bed. âIâm sorry I was gone so long, I didnât realise yourâoh, babyâŠâ
Husk is face down on the bed, the sheets torn and littered with feathers â both from his own wings and the pillows heâs managed to shred. He doesnât seem to have even noticed your presence; a pathetic mewling sound escaping him as his hips move in a weak, disjointed rhythm against whatâs left of the sheets.
Heâd gone into heat not long after youâd left, and with you gone for a few days, he was left with this burning, aching need that heâd been unable to satiate on his own. Now, it breaks your heart to see where heâs managed to pull out fur in frustration, to see the limp line of his tail hanging off the side of the bed. Youâd known this was a risk, you being gone during â once you and Husk had begun seeing each other, his heats had become more⊠focused on you. He couldnât get through it without you.
âBaby, Iâm so sorry,â you murmur as you approach the bed slowly. You notice Husk has some of your clothes balled up on the bed, his nose pressed deep into the fabric. You touch a hand to his shoulder carefully. âHuskâŠ?â
The bartender jerks up under your touch as though youâve sent an electric shock through him, his whole body shuddering. You watch his pupils dilate; his jaw almost slack. He looks⊠delirious, the closest youâve seen to creature in a long time. âDollâŠ?â
âHey,â you say softly. âIâm sorry, Iâveââ
âPleaseâŠâ he whines. His hips are still thrusting weakly into the mattress, his voice breaking. âPleaseâŠâ
âItâs okay, Husk,â you promise gently, gliding your hand slowly down his back, smoothing the mussed fur and frowning when more of it falls away with your touch. Husk groans deeply; he buries his head against your thigh. He shudders, full-bodied, and you realize the bartender has cum into the sheets from that simple touch. Heâs never been this far gone before; youâd seen him so deep into his heat that heâs barely let you get through the door before heâs shoved you up against it. Youâve seen him so addled by it that heâs barely been able to talk outside of growling urges for you to take it, to have his kits. This⊠this is so much more concerning. âOh, you really need this, donât you, baby?â
He canât make out anymore words; he just lets out this soft, cattish mewl that makes tears of pity burn in your eyes.
âLay back,â you tell him, pushing gently on his shoulder. Husk is clinging to you, and his desperation to get you further undressed only makes it more difficult. His claws catch in the waistband of your underwear, and they leave tracks of red as he tears it away, the sharp point of them slicing into your skin. You hiss in pain but otherwise ignore it, gently forcing him to lay back against the mattress and straddling his lap.
Huskâs cock is hard and already leaking again with precum, the barbs standing rigid. You wrap your hand around it and he moans, thrusting up into your hand. You coo reassuringly to him as you stroke him slowly a few times, collecting his precum on your hand. You release him and slide you hand between your thighs, slickening yourself with his excitement.
Huskâs claws dig into your thighs as you lift yourself up over his lap, gripping the base of him and guiding his cock inside you.
The possessive growl that rips through the bartenderâs throat as you sink down onto him is nothing even approaching human, and you feel a shiver of excitement roll up the middle of your back. You know he canât handle slow, not while heâs like this, and you feel yourself ache with the way he stretches and fills you as you take up as urgent a pace as you can handle without foreplay.
Husk begins to purr as soon as you start to fuck him, clutching desperately at your thighs, your ass, your hips. You grasp at fistfuls of fur on his chest, and the purring doubles, a chainsaw rumble that you can feel reverberating under your fingers. It takes barely more than a minute before he presses his hips up into yours so hard he almost unseats you and cums again, choking on a moan.
It does nothing to ease the almost manic look in his eyes, the tension in his jaw, but feeling his cum fill you makes it all the easier to take the thick line of his cock.
âThatâs it, Husk,â you murmur, stroking fingers through the fur of his neck. He whines, arching his neck to the side to give you better access. âThatâs it. Câmon. I can take it, baby.â
You grind your hips down hard against his, your eyes rolling back for a moment as you feel his barbs tease against a sensitive spot inside you. Husk hisses softly, and you gasp as his claws carve into your thighs.
You swallow back the shock of pain, gritting your teeth as you begin to bounce yourself on his cock again.
âI can take it.â
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Husk pounds himself into you, your thighs aching with tension as he presses them down hard against your torso, your knees bent over his shoulders. He has his face buried in the curve of your neck; his hands braced on either side of you. You canât even moan anymore â your voice is all but gone, hoarse with the pain in your throat.
Thereâs no doubt in your mind that the others in the hotel have heard you both, especially with the way Husk keeps growling, the way the sound of flesh meeting fur fill the room, but you canât bring your mind together enough to care. Youâve been going so long that you can feel your hair and skin are damp with sweat, sheets and feathers sticking to your bare skin.
You can feel Huskâs cum leaking out of you with every thrust, dripping down over your ass and onto the bedding beneath you. He buries his teeth in your shoulder as he cums again, and the sound you make is raw and painful, and you bring your hand between your thighs desperately.
âFuck, doll, I missed you,â he groans against your skin, lips grazing the side of your throat. You turn your head and he kisses you, the taste of your blood staining his lips. Still, you wrap an arm around his neck and slide your tongue into his mouth, thighs quaking as the attention you give your clit builds inside you. âI missed you so much.â
âIâm sorry, baby,â you murmur in a husky voice, clutching at the fur behind his ear. His purrs grow louder when you run your fingers through it, your nails scratching at the base of his ear. âShow me how much you needed me, okay? Show me what you need.â
âNeed to fill you up,â he growls desperately. He pistons his hips into yours, hard enough that your cunt aches with the force of it. âNeed you full of my kits and fuck⊠gonna fill you up, sweetness, gonna fill you so fuckinâ full of my kitsâŠâ
âYes, Husk,â you whimper, letting your head fall back against the ruined pillows. âFill me up, baby. I wanna have your kits so badâŠâ
âGonna be so beautiful with my kits in you,â he pants, his tail lashing behind him. His wings spread wide, loose feathers floating down from them. He stumbles on his words as you cum again and tighten around him, his hips beginning to lose their rhythm. âGonna be so fuckinâ⊠fuck, I need you toâŠâ
Husk moans your name as you feel him cum inside you again, collapsing on top of you with a choking sob. You unhook your legs from his shoulders slowly, wincing as pain flares through the stiff muscles. You run your fingers through the fur at the base of his neck, a small, tired smile touching your lips as you feel him pepper soft kisses over your chest. His wings fall to rest limply by his sides, the feathers tickling against your legs.
âMissed you,â he repeats in a barely-there whisper, his breath tickling against your skin. âFuck, I missed youâŠâ
âI know, baby,â you murmur, still petting him in a soothing rhythm. âIâm sorry I was gone so long.â
He lets out a soft growl as his lips find the bite marks heâs left in your shoulder, leans back enough to turn his head and see the scratches on your thigh and hip bone. âShit, baby, Iâmââ
âDonât,â you admonish, drawing him back against your chest. âCouldnât help it.â
âI shouldnâtââ
âItâs fine, Husk,â you promise, leaning up to brush your lips over his. You feel him relax slightly to it, and you begin stroking fingers through his fur again. âIâm okay.â
ââm sorry.â
âI know,â you say simply. You feel his half-hard cock twitch inside you, and you sigh, closing your eyes. âJust⊠rest. I have a feeling youâre not quite over the urges just yet.â
Husk reburies his face against your throat, his lips pressed to your skin. âLove you, doll.â
âLove you, Husk.â

I need so desperately for this game to be released. I am not mentally well
Iâm very happy with this piece, I think it looks more like Mhin than the birthday art I did of them did.
Also shout out to Vermilionsun for the Mhin headcannons they posted at the beginning of this month that single handedly brought me out of my art block. Something about the idea of being in Mhinâs lap really healed me.
Below the cut is the lineart of both Mhin and the background chair because I accidentally spent way too much time on it for it to be 95% covered in the actual drawing.
Its a spot the reference puzzle, have fun
#Sarah if you see this keep scrolling you donât need to see this side of me#this is for all my mhin folks out there#red spring studios#touchstarved#touchstarved game#touchstarved fanart#touchstarved mhin#touchstarved mc#fanart#digital drawing#digital art

dividers by @saradika-graphics
Joelâs in his office looking at blueprints when his phone buzzes against his leg. He pulls his phone out of his pocket, eyes squinting as the bright screen lights up his dim office. His heart pinches in his chest when he sees your name across his screen.Â
do you like this one daddy?
Attachment: 1 image
He taps on the notification. His mouth hangs open, throat dry, dumbfounded as he takes in the picture. You, on your knees in the bedroom, wearing a white slip nightgown. The sleeves cut off at your shoulders; thereâs a lace trimming along the neckline â too high for his liking â that it almost meets the heart-shaped charm dangling from your collar; angel, it reads; he smiles to himself when he sees it. The lace continues down your front and stops at your middle, where a matching white belt cinches in your waist, accentuating your figure. The silk material cuts at your knees.Â
Jesus Christ. Thereâs a tightness in his stomach, and somewhere else. He knows what youâre doing, knows this is a game you play very well. You know you donât need his opinion or permission. Everything you wear, everything you do drives him fucking crazy. You drive him crazy.Â
Whatever you like, angel, he types out. His thumb hovers over the too small blue arrow when another text with a different photo attached comes through.Â
or how about this one?
This time the slinky nightgown is baby pink, lace running across the deep neckline. The material clings to your breasts so well, he can tell your nipples are peaked beneath it. Thereâs matching lace at the bottom of the skirt, cuts high up your left thigh, and a tiny bow sits atop the slit, identical to the one in between your breasts.Â
The stiffness in his jeans starts to throb. Youâve got him wrapped around your pretty little finger, so much youâve conditioned him to get hard anytime he seesâ thinks of you.Â
Heâs so damn hard. Rock solid, and he canât wait any longer. He pops open his jeans, and drags the zipper down too quick; it snags on denim. He doesnât even hesitate to unzip the metal teeth of his fly entirely, heâs too desperate. Joel shucks his cotton boxers down enough to clumsily pull his already leaking cock out. He spits in his hand, groans lowly as he curls it around his heavy length, and starts pumping.Â
Joelâs head falls back, and he breathes a sigh of relief as he fucks his fist. He was half-hard all day, All your fault, he thinks. Trotting into the kitchen in one of your pretty little dresses while he cooked up your breakfast, your head bopping along to the record heâd put on as you rounded the kitchen island to take your seat at the table, plate full of eggs and bacon in hand to start your morning. Hips swaying, frilly fabric swishing, barely covering the plump curve of your ass, but just enough to tease him. Something youâre always doing. Â
His mind wanders. Imagines what the material youâre wearing in the photo feels like in his hands. You both favor the frilly dresses, tiny and soft against your skin. Heâs always careful not to rip the delicate fabric; he likes the sight of fucking you in them more than ripping them into pieces. But he likes the silk ones too; likes running his roughened fingertips along the lace trimming, tracing it over your breasts, following the line down your body until his fingers meet your bare thighs. His hands always dipping beneath the hem, seeking more, as if itâs second nature to him. Fingers finding your sex â always dripping with arousal â then his palms move to the swell of your ass, gripping and digging into your plush flesh, pulling you closer into his chest and both of you moaning in unison.Â
He groans, bites his bottom lip to stifle it. He canât be too loud, not with his crew on the other side of the door. You make him feel like a damn teenager. Making him so hard that he has to jack his cock in the quiet dark of his office, willing himself not to make a sound because heâs too impatient to wait until he returns to you. Thatâs what you do to him.Â
Joel can never get through a full workday without thinking of you. YouâŠsimply living and breathing is all that manages to take up his mind. All he ever thinks about is you, consumes his very being. All of this is nothing. Serves as nothing but a distraction for him until he can get back to you. Never not checking every damn clock or a crew members' watch at every turn on every job site, nearly begging for the day....everyday to be over, wants nothing more than to take you into his bed or take you right there on the couch or the kitchen if thatâs where you are when he gets home. Wants to spread you out and split you open on his cock, burying himself in until he meets resistance and elicits that soft gasp from your lips, the one that makes him forget about the world for a moment or two. Wants to grab your hand and cup his shape through your tummy and tell you, Feel me right there, baby? Daddyâs always right there, ainât he?Â
He hears your moan echoing in his ears, and the quick tugs of his fist increase almost unconsciously. He used to think the sounds you made were his favorite. Your giggles when he pulls at your ankles to bring you closer. Your whimpers when he teases his cock over your panties (in retaliation for teasing him). Your body writhing beneath the broad weight of him when he finally slips it in; daddy, pouring from your lips as he plays with you.
Now, he reckons itâs more than that.
Itâs how you taste on his tongue â warm and sweet when he glides it through your drooling folds. Itâs how you feel around him â your little wet cunt sucking him in, made just right for him. Your skin, soft and delicate, waiting to be marked black and blue. Your body putty and pliant, curling and melting into him on the couch or in his bed after a long day. Itâs how you trust him completely â without hesitation as he does what he pleases with you. It's how you look at him â gorgeous wide eyes sparkling and a sleepy smile on your face beaming up at him in the soft morning glow when you wake up beside him. Itâs the first thing he sees every morning and his heart fucking flutters.
Itâs everything. All of it and more.Â
His fist tightens around his cock, thumb sweeping over his wide tip â leaking and an angry shade of purple. Angry because his fist isnât enough; itâll never be enoughâ
His phone buzzes as a third photo with a message pops into the text thread, his head snaps down and his eyes meet the photo in a nanosecond. Â
is it too short daddy?Â
He inhales sharply through his nose as he studies the photo; youâre wearing the same outfit, only now youâre bent at the waist, your hands flat on the mattress, and leaning forward on the balls of your feet â ruffled white socks sitting low on your ankles. The lace hem of your skirt has ridden up just enough to reveal yourself to him. You. On full display â only for him to see â and yetâ
Not short enough, he wants to respond.Â
He sets his phone down on his denim-clad thigh, thumb tapping on the photo before his fingers pinch outward, zooming in. Â
Christ. There they are. Taunting him beneath the thin pink cherry speckled panties that barely cover your holes, just waiting for him â waiting to be filled until youâre sore and leaking and so full of him he has to work his cum back into your spent hole.Â
Hole.Â
He hasnât delivered on his promise to fill the other one. Not in the way youâve been asking.Â
Baby angel, we oughta do it right. We oughta go slow.Â
Heâs been training you for the last little while; he knows heâs too big to take all at once. One day heâll make good on his promise. Daddy always keeps his promises, donât he little bug?Â
His phone buzzes once more, cutting through his reverie. You sent him a fourth photo withâ
miss you daddy :(Â
The skirt of your nightgown is bunched around your hips, your thighs spread and fingers skimming beneath the band of your panties, his eyes trail down, following the line of your small fingers, and then he sees itâ
The wet stain of your slick on the front of your baby pink panties; your cute little clit, soft and puffy against the sheer material â peeking out â almost like itâs calling out for him. Â
Fuck. Poor baby. Daddyâs cominâ. Just a little longer.Â
Joelâs jaw clenches, and the tension pulls taut in his stomach. He should be there. Needs to be there. Push the head of his cock past your puffy folds â returning home â repenting for being away for so long, for leaving you at all. Warm velvet walls pulsing around him as he thrusts in, in, in.Â
Beads of sweat roll off his forehead and into his temples, pencil slipping from behind his ear and clattering on the wooden floor as he lets his head roll back on his neck, hitting the back of the chair, his eyes slip closed. Lets himself think of sinking into you, the warmth of your skin against his, your velvet cunt snug around him â soft and swollen and wet â fluttering around him, squeezing him until he comes.
His hips falter, breath now shaky and weak, muscles in his belly tightening as the coil deep within him threatens to snap. Joel retracts his left hand from his phone and lifts it to cup the weight of his balls, kneading gently at the stretchy flesh. His office chair squeaks as his back arches, canting his hips upwards, rutting into his own fist â desperate â like a fucking puppy. His left hand squeezes around his balls tighter, right arm tenses as his wrist pumps faster â still not enough.Â
He hears you then â all whiny and meek â Daddy. Please. Daddy, fill me up, need it inside please.Â
And itâs all he needs.Â
âOhh baby,â he breathes, mouth falling open, filthy groans clawing through the walls of his throat, echoing against the ceiling and the four walls of his office, as the tidal waves crash over him and take him under.Â
His head snaps down in time to watch his release, cock pulsing and twitching as thick, hot ropes of cum spurting from his tip coat the distressed wood of his desk, landing within a hair's breadth of the blueprints. Shouldnât be there. He thinks of painting your insides with him, filling you up with his spend and making you his, over and over and over.Â
Fuck, thatâs it â Fuck, he groans.Â
Heâs in a trance, and itâs almost like heâs coming again. His thighs tremble as his thumb glides across his tip, and he imagines the curved head nudging against that special place inside you while your nails scrape across the nape of his neck, marking him as yours. He lets his eyes close slowly, and then he sees you, his eyes dancing across your face, watching as it twists up in pleasure as his thick head prods at his favorite place again and again. Until your eyes water and youâre gushing around him, dripping cunt clutching him until you milk him of everything he has to offer, sanctifying himself with every last drop.
His guttural groans settle into tired sighs, and his wrist slows as he nears the end of his orgasm, but he doesnât stop, not until heâs certain heâs milked himself completely, just as he would if he were nestled inside you. When the last of his release dribbles down onto his fist, body still shaking and pulsating from his climax, he thinks heâs never come this hard by his own hand.Â
His hand comes to a stop, and his breath begins to steady, chest rising and falling as his lungs fill with air. His left hand finds his phone again, props it up while his right still clutches his softening cock, hissing as his fist meets the swollen cockhead â dripping and covered with cum. He snaps a picture, shaky fingers backspace his previous message, and instead types out, Naughty little girl. Look what you made Daddy do. And taps the small arrow without another thought, sending it on its way to you. And he blames it on the blood pumping and surge of energy rushing through him in the wake of his intense orgasm â and you for making him feel alive.Â
He doesnât wait for a response before he sends another message.
Itâs perfect, angel. Keep it on till I get home. Got a surprise for you. Â
You reply seconds later:Â
yes daddy đ©·
He smirks. Attagirl.Â
Joel clicks his phone off, runs a hand down the scruff of his beard before leaning over his desk with a grunt, careful as to not sully his shirt with his release. He fumbles around his junk drawer for a small pack of pink heart-themed tissues, dabs at droplets of sweat on his forehead before wiping up his spend on his fist and desk. He tucks his soft cock back beneath his black boxers, and takes a moment to unsnag his fly, zipping up his jeans. His aching knees regain function, and he stands, heavy legs dragging him through his office and stalking towards the door. When his weak fist meets cold steel, he makes a mental note to stop by the store to pick up the butterfly charms he promised you.

Chapter 4: Ghost Days
Eddie went through Monday like a ghost.
A spectacle in his youth, now a specter. A phantasm phasing through walls. Not a hello, nor a goodbye. Existing in the corners of the room, watching. No attention on him, just working, and thinking. Tending to his dying garden of thoughts when the sun didnât shine. Moving around you, and the tug of your gravitational pull, with your gaze firm on the desk in front of you, not on the haunt who brought this upon himself, and hurt you in the process.
âYou okay, Eddie?â his uncle asked, running a hand up and down his back. âYouâve been staring at that pot of boiling water for ten minutes.â
Eddie fluttered his lashes at the bubbles bursting on the surface. âSorry, got a lot on my mind.â
ââââ
Tuesday, Wednesday he was a full-body apparition.
No morning smiles, no afternoon laughter, but a single sentence.
âOh!â You hugged the files to your chest, not knowing Eddie was passing in the hallway to break room right as you were leaving Mr. Mooreâs office. Several of the papers crinkled from running into him. Your eyes were screwed shut, expecting an impact. All signs Eddie was real; a thing of worth, a precious brick wall who cupped your arm when you stumbled, who slotted his thumb in the crease of your inner elbow. A chest to brace your hand against. Fingers grasping his dirty coveralls. He was there. He caught you.
And the next dayâ
âEddie?â
Your sudden presence scared him. He slammed his black spiral-bound notebook shut and kept his palm over the devil-horned skull he drew on the front.
Sat alone at the table to eat his lunch, the low drone of the vending machines camouflaged the sound of you approaching, and he was too absorbed bin what he was writing down to notice you had entered the break room. Did not realize how close you had gotten until the heel of your palm pressed into a particularly sore muscle in his back from how you steadied yourself on his chair as you bent over.
You picked your gaze up from the notebook, and landed on his eyes. Even if you didnât mean to, the knot between your brows relaxed the smallest degreeâa nearly imperceptible amountâbut with how he drank in your appearance, he detected it.
âYou wrote O2 for this part here, did you mean X2?â you asked, referring to the invoice in your hand. He watched you bring the question to life. Voice and lips working together to create a lullaby for the unrest in his head. Breath cooling the wet trace of his tongue on his lips.
He was desperate for interaction. He knew. You were too. You just hid it better.
âEddie,â you reminded him, keen on the five-oâclock-shadow peppering his cheek from neglecting a shave.
If things were different, would you have caressed your thumb along the grain? Would you have pushed his bangs off his forehead, run your fingers through his hair, and pressed your lips to the delicate curve of his temple? Would you tell him he was a good dad for fixing the water heater again, and getting his daughter to school on time, even when he wanted to do nothing more than lay on the couch and cry?
âX2,â he confirmed, âYeah, I meant X2. Sorry.â
ââââ
Thursday? He was corporeal.
Carl returned from his stay-cation. Stay-at-home-vacation, also known as his wifeâs birthday.
He was taking a break in his story to microwave his lasagna when the fading voice of a customer went out the front door, ringing its chime. There was shuffling in the lobby. A backpack being unzipped.
The microwave beeped, and Carl picked up his container with the tips of his fingers, bringing it over to the table, where he sat in the chair facing the hallway.
You walked in with your lunch container, saw the back of Eddieâs head, and walked out.
Carl watched Eddieâs demeanor wilt at the swift exit, gaze falling to the corner of his eyes in acknowledgement of where you were just standing. Face blank, except for the heavy depression drifting his eyelids half-closed. Posture sagged more than normal.
âIs Adrie excited for Saturday?â Carl asked, keeping the conversation light, because boy, did he know that heartbroken look.
âMm?â Eddie jerked his head up, attentive. He processed the question, and crowded his packed mish-mash of leftovers to his chest, chewing his horrible attempt at replicating Wayneâs pork chop supper as he talked, âOh, yeah, yeah. Free candy and seeing her friends? Sheâs been bouncing off the walls all week.â He stabbed an undercooked carrot and brandished it with the same motion he rolled his eyes. âBut,â he drew out for comedic effect, âShe wanted to dress up as a bat again. Great! Same as last year. No problem, right? So, I take out her costume from the closet, have her try it on, and you know what she says?â
Carl shook his head with a slow grin stretching across his face.
âItâs not pretty enough!â Eddie ate the carrot. âShe never wants to be a princess, but all her friends do, and now sheâs gotten it in her head that if her costume doesnât have the same glitter and pizzazz theirs does, itâs not good enough.â
He laughed, âMy boys were easier. When they fought over who got to be Donatello, and who got to be Michaelangelo, all we had to do was switch mask colors and weapons.â
âSee, they knew what they were doing with the Ninja Turtles, man. Easiest costumes to reuse.â
âExactly.â
âNow I gotta figure out how to navigate telling her most of the stores are sold out of everything.â
âItâs a toughie, thatâs for sure.â
The conversation ended with two knowing nods, sharing the same shallow gripes about parenthood. Carl finished his meal first, and left the table to return to work, while Eddie picked away at his, submerging himself in his thoughts.
A recent drizzle cast Hawkins in a misty haze. The drink machine clicked, and the steady hum rose to a higher frequency. Footsteps squeaked down the hallway. The nervous hand of a once confident woman gripped the doorframe, and she leaned into the room, speaking in a small voice, âI can help.â
Eddie perked up. Head visibly lifting, shoulders drawn back and down. He didnât respond. Not until he turned around in his chair, and you persevered through the awkward amount of eye contact; wide and unblinking.
You reiterated, âI can help fix up Adrieâs costume so itâs glittery.. Or whatever you said.â Totally not eavesdropping. You waited for a response. âMore her style,â you mumbled, filling the void when he forgot what words were.
âY-Yeah! ThatâUhm.. Yeah, you have that kind of stuff?â He clutched onto the back of his chair, knuckles white, bending the plastic from the weight he leaned on it. His face was of equal intrigue, eyes pleading for more interaction, lips parted for more questions, eyebrows pinched in and upwards to show his humility. His thanks.
In a valiant effort for normalcy, you started with a self-deprecating comment, âI mean, itâs not like I was performing on Broadway with a whole costuming departmentâs worth of tailors, you know. Bobbie and I had to pull all-nighters to finish our own shitty ensembles, so Iâm pretty handy with a glue gun, and my sewing skills are serviceable, if I do say so myself.â You stepped further into the break room to put your unfinished lunch in the fridge. âI have tons of fabric and crafting supplies left over. Seriously, I donât mind spicing up her costume if you wanna bring it by tomorrow. I think I can make something she likes.â
âAre you sure? You donât have toââ
His mouth sealed itself shut at the incremental smirk sneaking its way across your face.
âWell, you see,â you said, exuding pure charisma, âNow youâve gone and phrased it in a way which enacts my policy. I have to say âyes.ââ
Given his current state, Eddie was little more than a mess of nerves; sleeping in uncomfortable positions that had his bones aching due to Adrieâs fear of monsters under her bed sending her to sleep with him on the couch; along with the general up-and-down rush of stress when he passed by your desk, and nothing came of his sad glance in your direction.
Unfiltered relief slipped past his chapped lips as he looked up at you, âThank you.â
ââââ
By Friday, he was a man.
Eddie skipped his morning cigarette. He wore his lucky Metallica t-shirt under his coveralls. Adrie had to beg him to release her from his powerful hug this morning, flailing her arms and pretending to choke, until the other parents in the carpool lane stared, and he relented.
He walked into the garageâs lobby with sure steps, making a quick stop behind the receptionist desk to drop off a neatly folded pile of black fabric. Then, he looked down the shadowed hallway leading to the lively break room, and he breathed deep.
You were framed by the doorway. Your back was to him, bent over the sink, just beginning to wash the coffee pot.
One thing was for certain.
If anything ever happened between you two and it didnât pan out, work would be weird. That much he learned this week. And that was just another reason to keep his boundaries up. Another good fucking reason to apologize, turn around, and go back to being cordial work buddies, and have that be the extent of your relationship.
And yet, here he was, flirting with the ring of fire he lit himself.
Crossing his arms, he squeezed his biceps, and leaned his shoulder on the wall outside the room, mind racing as he organized the same speech he rehearsed hundreds of times this morning. âCan we talk?â
Now, the unfortunate thing about rehearsing one-sided speeches was the unpredictability of which youâd follow the script.
âIf youâre here to apologizeâagainâfor spending a runtime of 83 minutes with me because it was just that awful, Iâll scream.â
Eddie had to manually force himself to relax out of his wince. âI deserved that,â he exhaled, speaking to himself only. He deserved your stern tone, your angry way of scrubbing the pot. The stiffness between your bunched shoulders. The tight annoyance in your throat from the way he treated you.
Yesterday was a nice break from the tension, but he hadnât yet made amends, despite the olive branch you extended to him in the form of fixing up his daughterâs costume. âWhat if I apologized for something else?â
âThe juryâs still out on that one.â
âGood enough,â he said. âListen, ah, Iâve been reflecting on what happened Friday, and I realized I came across like an asshole,â âHe shut his eyes, and shook his headâ âI was an asshole, whether I meant to be, or not. I mean, yeah, I had a lot on my mind, but that doesnât justify my behavior in blowing you off like that, especially when you were nothing but nice to me when you saw they set us up together, and you just wanted us to have a good time.. I can tell I hurt your feelings. Iâm sorry.â
You rinsed out the soap suds and filled the pot with water, turning off the sink.
There, he apologized, now he should turn around, and go back to being cordial work buddies.
But he was so fucking stupid.
Committing to something he may come to regret, he entered the break room and stopped when he came to the counter beside the sink, bending sideways to rest his arm there, and kicking out his hip. âI didnât even get to tell you how pretty you were.â
Immediately, you angled yourself away to pull the coffee machine towards you, and poured water into the reservoir.
Eddie let out a groan as his brain caught up with his mouth. âI meant are. How pretty you are..â he spoke at your back while you still refused to acknowledge him. âI meant to say how pretty you are.â
His stomach seized. None of this was going how he planned, so.. fuck it. âI think youâre really pretty right now, actually.â
Nothing seemed louder than his quick breaths, and heart beating in his throat.
The longer you went silent, he considered getting a new job bagging groceries for the supermarket they built on Cherry Street last year.
You slotted the pot onto the hot plate, and opened the cabinet in front of you, blocking his view of you as you reached for the coffee container. But when you closed the door, he had to clench the tremble of annoyance out of his hands.
Try as you mightâlips scrunched to the side, cheeks sucked in, making a big production of counting the spoonfuls of grounds you scooped into the filter basketâyour smile was obvious. Obvious, and irritating; leading him on as if his advances were a worse offense than his attitude after your date.
âFine, fine,â you sighed like you were doing him a favor. âI guess youâve appealed to my ego enough for me to forgive you.â
âYouâre the absolute worst person Iâve everââ
âYeah. But you think Iâm pretty.â
âWhatever,â Eddie grunted, tugging a strand of hair over his mouth, embarrassed to hear his own honesty repeated back at him. âSo weâre good?â
You had a sarcastic statement ready on your tongueâhe saw it in how you narrowed your eyes, and tipped your head. A loftiness to the way you regarded him; all pompous and teasing and so sure he was being silly and asking questions for the sake of bothering you.
Then, you witnessed his shy quirk, and were instantly disarmed.
âYes, Eddie, weâre good. The best of friends.. And are you sure you werenât disappointââ
âIf youâre about to ask me if I was disappointed that you were my date for the third time, Iâll scream.â
You laughed. You tore your gaze from his fingers playing with his curls, and closed the lid of the coffee machine, but in doing so, you turned away, and you both discovered a subtle truth about him.
Eddie was the type who wanted to witness the full scope of the joy he brought on others. When he made someone laugh, he wanted to drink it all in. He wanted to observe the exact way they smiled, how far back they threw their head, if their eyes closed with mirth, if tears sprang, if they giggled to appease him, or if they were expelling a cathartic release. When he made someone happy, he leaned in to hoard the revelry, collect it, and share it. Seeking out their gaze, mirroring them to experience their pleasure first-hand. Itâs what made him happy.
It caused him to encroach on their personal space subconsciously, pursuing the pride, and sense of achievement he felt when he accomplished making someone else feel good.
He stood close to you. Very close to you, studying you unabashedly, basking the pure unadulterated validation of making you smile.
You idly scratched your thumbnail over a stain on the counter. âPretty, huh?â you mused quietly. âIs the hoodie really doinâ it for ya?â It was once black, now sun-faded and overwashed. There was a logo on the front for a random high school. Your high school, Eddie assumed. Clearly, a beloved item, and one you wore when doing craft projects, as indicated by the layers of glitter, dried paint, and burn marks from a hot glue gun marring the sleeves.
Still leaned over, he dropped his hand from his mouth, and swept his hair to one side, exposing the length of his throat. âMaybe it is.â
âShut up,â you snorted.
âThe frumpy âjust rolled out of bed at noon and forgot to get milk at the grocery storeâ look really gets me going.â
âFrumpyâ?â In the middle of pressing the ON button and shoving the coffee machine into its place on the counter, you went to pin Eddie with a glare for laying the teasing remarks on thick today, but your attention drifted. Your focus found his eyes shining with slyness, and dropped your gaze to the crook of his neck, where you spied something dastardly. âHow does this keep happening? Do you not look in a mirror?â
As you nagged him, you reached for his coveralls. Somehow, the collar kept managing to tuck itself on the inside, and you were at its beck and call, slipping two fingers underneath to unfurl it, coaxing it out in a long stroke over the peak of his collarbone, and down the slope of his chest, over his heart. Longer than two beats worth. The fabric was quite rolled up today. You had to slide along his lucky shirt to find the pointed end, and pull it out, laying it flat. Smoothing down the edges, and securing his tan work jacket over it. Patting them both to seal the kind gesture.
From his periphery, he watched you tend to him, and his smirk grew.
Fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
âGuess I donât look at myself too often,â he said, eyeing your hands lingering on his personâflattening your palms over his pec for a prolonged moment before retreatingâand he nodded for you to follow him out of the room to your desk. He needed the extra seconds away from you to rid himself of his smugness.
Talking about the costume, he rounded to the taller side of your desk, while you sat opposite him in your chair, âLuckily it was big on her last year, so it still fits. Itâs just a little short in the legs.â
âGotcha.â You shook out the bat wings and rubbed the fuzzy material of the suit between your fingers. âDoes she have room for another layer underneath? Warm pajamas, or something? The temperatureâs supposed to drop tonight. I think a cold front is coming in.â
âYeah, thereâs room.â
âOkie dokie.â You cracked your knuckles and looked at him expectantly. He raised his eyebrows. You raised yours higher. You made a more obvious face. He made a confused one back at you. âDude, leave. I canât work with you watching me.â
He curled his lip in a mocking sneer, and went to work in the garage, whereâironicallyâyou could watch him.
~~~
Turns out, you were serious about the double standards of your relationship.
Eddie caught you sneaking glances in his direction whenever heâd wheel out from underneath a car, or when he was bent over the engine of a truck, but as soon as he took his sweet time locating his favorite socket wrench from the tool cabinet (that most definitely wasnât already in his back pocket), you blocked your project with your body and moved your lips like you were telling him off.
And when he knocked on the glass to gesture for more clean rags from the supply closet, you scrambled to hide the felt shapes you were cutting out, and sent a tube of glitter paint rolling across the lobby.
Even as he relaxed into the plush seat of his car after a long day of work, and the rumble of the engine soothed his mind from exterior worries, his eyes traveled from the bright red stop light swaying in the wind, to the custom crimson interior of his Dodge Omni Shelby, to the pile of black fabric next to him.
He drove with one hand on the wheel. He could just.. take a peek at what the hell you were doing all day.
âDonât even think about peeking! Itâs a surprise. I want Adrie to see it first, and then you can look when sheâs trying it on.â
He snatched his wandering fingers away from the bat wing and cupped them around his inner thighâhis usual place for resting them.
~~~
When he opened the door to his trailer, the little lady of the hour came running at him full-speed.
âThereâs my facehugger!â Eddie announced through his laugh, stepping backwards to soften the blow of her enthusiasm. And yeah, maybe he shouldnât refer to his daughter as a parasitic alien from a horror franchise, but the clinginess comparison was accurate.
Adrienne made her immediate attempt to climb him knownâclutching onto the hem of his work jacket, and shaking it. âDaddy!â she demanded, making grabby hands at him.
âHold on, hold on.â He knelt to her level, and promised to pick her up in a few minutes if she exhibited an ounce of patience. âYou remember that nice lady from work you drew pictures with?â Thinking about it, she twisted back and forth with excess energy, and gave a big nod, pressing her fingers along her smile. âWell, she heard your costume wasnât up to your standards, so she wanted to make your Halloween extra special this year. She worked on this all day..â he said slowly, drawing out the grand reveal.
True to his word, Eddie unfolded the outfit he had clutched under his arm, and held it out in front of him, showing it to her first and watching her reaction.
Uncle Wayne opened the bathroom door in the midst of tidying up his beard, dragging a towel around his neck to wipe away the excess shaving cream. Interested in the commotion, and especially curious as to why the person he referred to as his own granddaughter was currently running around the coffee table screaming at the top of her lungs, he questioned anyone who could hear him, âWhatâs all this goinâ on?â
âThe lady at work made my bat costume prettyâLook!â Adrie tugged on the bottom of Wayneâs flannel.
âI see,â he said, vaguely recalling the young receptionist she was referring to. He raised his eyebrows at Eddie. âShe did all that?â
He shrugged. âSheâs nice.â
Too excited, Adrie unzipped the back of the jumpsuit and climbed in while Eddie held it open. Still, he did not peep at the finished product. Not until every foot wiggled out of the appropriate amount of leg holes, and every sleeve found a hand.
Adrienne walked backwards into the living room and struck a pose with her arms out, flapping them.
Wayne âawwâd and clapped.
Eddie sat back on his calves, mouth slightly agape.
You really were nice.
The costume was magnificent. The black fleece was painted with thin strokes of white paint to give the illusion of hair, with special attention around the turtleneck collar where you glued white faux fur into a short mane. Cleverly, the pants were extended with layers of iridescent tulle that caught the light in shimmery rainbows, disguising how short they were on her.
The wings themselves were works of art. Showstoppers. Instead of hanging limp from under her arms, you had used flexible plastic to create bones, giving them some structure.
They were exactly what Adrie wanted. Silver glitter served as a mere backdrop to the myriad of foil stars glued to the fabric. As oneâs attention panned downwards, they grew in size and frequency, until there was a disco ball amount of flash and pizzazz. To top it all off, there were felt clouds and crescent moons dangling on strings from the bottom. The stuffed and stitched celestial motifs swung with Adrieâs grand gestures.
And as if that wasnât enough, Wayne picked up two little black triangles that bounced onto the carpet when Eddie revealed the costume. âCâmere, Adrie,â he said, holding them up to her head. âYouâve got two little ears on barrettes, too.â
âJesus,â Eddie exhaled.
His next breath caught in his throat. He discovered why you snipped the fabric where it was previously attached to the suit, and gave it an extra bone structure to wrap around.
It was so he could slip his arms around his daughter, and hug her tight without any impediments. âYou like it, yeah?â
She threw her arms around his neck, and imbued all her surprise into her little voice, âAre you kidding me? Itâs my favoriteâthe best costume ever! I love it.â
âWeâll have to find a way to thank her when I see her on Monday.â
The hug lasted until Eddieâs knees ached. Still, he clung to her as one clung to a lifesaver. He passed his palm over her hair. He stroked his thumb on the back of her head. He pressed her into the darkness against his throat. He squeezed her to conceal the way he shook. If anyone were to notice the secret of his actions, it would be the person who raised him as one would raise their own son.
Wayne walked over and ruffled his nephewâs hair.
~~~
Later, after Adrie had gone to bed, Eddie confessed, âThat took me so off guard, I almost cried. Thatâs the nicest thing anyoneâs done for me, or Adrie, in years.. I mean, outside of everything you do for us. And Steve, too. I just didnât expect her to put that much effort into a costume.. Or to care that much.â
âI know, son,â Wayne said, patting him on the knee as they sat on the couch, lit by the muted earthy tones of the local news channel. âShe seems real nice.â
ââââ
It was a howling Halloween night.
Eddie pulled off the main road into the nice neighborhood on the west side of Hawkins. Everyone knew you went to the rich houses on Halloween, as evident by the agonizing minutes it took to find a place to park, while Adrie was oblivious and just wanted out of her car seat.
Crowds swarmed the doors handing out the best candy. Groups of friends gathered in the streets. Kids ran down the sidewalk to ogle the elaborate decorations. âIs the entire population here, or somethinâ?â Eddie grumbled, shifting the gear stick into park.
Once Adrie was out, he asked her, âDo you wanna stop by a few houses on the way to Steveâs?â She eyed the rowdy bigger kids pushing each other on their way up the driveway next to her, and she held out her hand for Eddie to take as a silent answer.
When she was with her friends, she was outgoing, but in this unfamiliar place, surrounded by strangers in the dark, she needed her dad to guide her.
âYouâll feel better once we have some candy in your bucket,â he promised, swinging the orange jack-o-lantern pail back and forth.
In reality, Eddie dreaded this part. Hated it. Going up to houses, knocking on doors, glancing away the second they were answered. He dressed differently. Tried to blend into the back of a big group. Kept his gaze on his daughter shying behind his legs, speaking for her, and hoping her cuteness distracted the adults from taking too close of a look at him. Shuffling away before they could recognize him, remember his last name, and make that same face they always did:
Barely concealed disgust.
Eddie held her hand for several streets until she felt comfortable going up to doors without him, thanks to finding a friend or two from preschool. Those parents were easier. Some heâd gotten to know over the last two years due to birthday parties and school events. Yet, they returned his greeting out of politeness. Waited on the sidewalk like him, but at a distance; in a circle, not inviting him to their grown-up talk.
Thatâs okay. He felt less alone when Adrie came jogging back to show him her candy. And although she insisted she was a big girl and didnât need to hold his hand anymore, she walked as if she were glued to his side, three steps to his one stride.
âI donât need you, Daddy.â
âYeah, you do.â
On and on, they made their way up the streets, and came upon a white-picket fence dwelling sat modestly between two larger statements, right as the porch light turned off and a group of people left the home.
Fate was a funny thing.
Steve held the gate open for Nancy and whispered something in her ear as she passed, earning a withered glare before she turned and the moon caught the smile flitting across her lips. Behind her, dashing from the shadows, was their son. He held his plastic sword high above his head, and gave a brave battle cry against the person who emerged next.
Robin, also dressed as a pirate, jumped from the top of the stairs and clashed her sword with his. They tussled on their way to the fence, stopping when she feigned a dramatic death, and had to chase down her tricorn hat from rolling into the street.
Eddieâs hand was sweatingâAdrie said so with a yuckiness to her words as she ran to join Steveâs son and their group of trick-or-treaters, leaving him behind to stare. And stare. And stare. And try not to burst into a grin.
He wouldnât have to wait âtil Monday to thank you.
Step by step, you helped their daughter teeter down the stairs. Patiently holding her hand, encouraging her to the bottom, and brought her to Steve, who was getting out the stroller from the trunk of his car.
âNo! IâmâI.. Will walk,â their little girl finished in a disjointed manner, engrossed by the array of bedsheet ghosts, lispy vampires, and corn-syrup-blood-covered werewolves moving around her.
âYeah, okay, kid,â Steve said sarcastically. âYou wanna be a big girl and walk on your own, but we both know after two houses youâre gonna be begging for the stroller.â
Like most girls, she brushed him off, and turned to you for assistance with her jacket. The puffy orange snow suit hindered her movements; her walk was a waddle, and her arms stuck out from her sides helplessly. She was warm, though.
You, on the other hand, were dressed in what Eddie could only call an adult onesie. A fitted one; hugging you in places he shouldnât notice it hugging you while you were squatting down to zip up her jacket, but a onesie, nonetheless.
âThere we go.â He heard you say from where he stood, roughly a car-length away, lurking in the darkness like a creep.
But heâd have to find a way to repent later. His fate tapped you on the shoulder, and his heart set the tempo for his plucky courageâs passion.
âAdrie!â you squealed at her. She greeted you with equal fervor. âYour costume is so, so pretty!â Without a second thought, you bent over, put your hands on your thighs, and asked while waggling your eyebrows, âWanna fly?â
âYeah!â
Adrie unveiled her full glittery wingspan, and you clasped her under her arms, instructing her to jump. Up she went. You raised her above you to your full extent and spun in circles. Giggly, messy circles. Showing her off for everyone to see. Parading her for the slew of compliments coming from onlookers. And when your strength tired, you brought her to your hip, and held her tight, still spinning. Dizzy, silly twirls. Savoring the closeness of your foreheads almost touching.
You slowed to stop to scan the scene around you, searching the shapeless night. âWhereâs your dad, hmm?â
She pointed behind you.
Over your shoulder, your gazes connected in between a family dressed as Peanuts characters.
Eddie raised his hand, but forgot to move it back and forth.
Your face brightened. The love you showed Adrie reflected in your eyes when you found him. Smiling bigger, somehow, at his stupid wave when he remembered how to perform one.
âNice costume,â you teased, sauntering up to him with a swagger. âLight-wash blue jeans instead of black. How different.â
âYeah, and what are you? A cat? So creative.â He meant it as an insult to your gray onesie with a tan belly, but he was the one who followed your quick glance at his stupid hand still waving like an utter moron, and he stuffed his fists in his pockets, wondering if heâd ever recover his dignity after this encounter.
âUh, Iâm clearly a mouse,â you drawled, inclining your head to show off your rounded mouse ears on your headband.
Adrie copied your exact tone and inflection to serve as a gut punch, âYeah, Daddy, sheâs clearly a mouse.â
His greatest fear mocked him. With Adrie on your hip, and your two matching smirks taunting him with your cheeks pressed to one another, he shook his head, and pinched his eyebrows up in worried exasperation. âI donât need two of you.â A revelation he should take more seriously as you looked at Adrie, and you both giggled. Tips of your noses grazing. Hugging you around your neck. Touching your animal ears and calling you âMiss Mouse.â Thanking you for her costume, and you asked, seeking her genuine approval as you fitted one of her tiny hands in yours to stretch a wing out.
âYou like it?â
âI love it!â
You swayed with her in the new position, resembling two people slow dancing despite there being no background music other than shrieks of laughter, and a chorus of âtrick-or-treat!â
Yeah, this feeling in his chest was evolving past the boundaries.
Shit.
Eventually you had to support her with two arms again, thus ending your waltz, and you remembered Eddie was there, and Eddie remembered to direct his tender expression at his daughter.
âSo, really,â you said, nudging his white tennis shoes and giving him a once-over, âWhoâre you supposed to be? A grumpy guy who couldnât be bothered? A wet blanket?â You leaned in. âDonât tell me youâre dressed as a stick in the mud for the second week in a row. Thatâs just gauche, Eddie.â
Adrie latched onto one word specifically. She pointed at him with all her might, and declared, âGrumpy! Youâre Grumpy.â
âGreat,â he groaned. Yet, there was not a trace of annoyance tugging at his lipsâjust his tongue poking through as his daughter reduced him to an unpleasant character. âTell her what movie you watched this morning.â
âI watched Snow White with grandpa,â she said. You gave an understanding âahh.â âGrandpa is Sneezy. Daddy is Grumpy. You can be..â
âIâll be Dopey.â
Eddie snorted, âFitting.â You cut him a soft frown, and he shifted his focus back to his daughter. Eye contact with you was too difficult. He felt exposed. Vulnerable. A single longing look gave away too much, he had to put an end to them. âYou think Iâm Grumpy, huh?â
She jabbed her finger at him again. âYou! Most definitely are.â
The immediate flash of devilry in his eyes was her only warning. âWhatâd I tell you about pointing at people?â He snatched her wrist in a weak grasp, and lunged at her, snapping his teeth, pretending to bite her finger off with a smile. She scream-laughed and buried her face in your shoulder.
âAw, itâs okay, Adrie,â you consoled her, âI always knew he was a biter. Lemme count your fingers, ând make sure you have all six.â
âSix?â she cried.
Besotted by your willingness to indulge his humor, Eddie lost track of his inhibitions, and acted on a deep-rooted impulse from his youth, when he was more expressive of his urges. He crept in close while you were busy doting over Adrie, and lowered his face to where he was allowed to whisper in a deeper register, âHey, no picking on my kid. Thatâs my job.â To make matters worse, he reached for your side, aimed for your ribs through the single layer of fleece, and prodded. It was a success. You yelped. You were ticklish. Another trait to add to the list of things he shouldnât know about you.
Steveâs bafflement pierced the rambunctious Jedi fight happening in the middle of the road, âAre you three gonna catch up, or do I need to make you get in the wagon?â he threatened. Sure enough, he was hauling a red wagon of someone elseâs kids behind him dressed as various dinosaurs, complete with masks.
More parents had joined the trick-or-treat cavalry, milling about on the sidewalk, waiting for Adrie before they knocked on the next house. You recognized this quicker than Eddie, and offered to take her by, well, simply walking off with her in your arms.
For the first block he was alone with his thoughts. Watching you go from house to house holding his daughterâs hand. Sitting back while you took over for him, and lessened his burdens. When it was you crouched next to Adrie, smiling up at the adults with buckets of candy, they didnât see Munson. They saw a cute little girl and her supposed mom participating in innocent fun.
âHey, bud,â Steve said, swinging around to his side, tossing an arm around his shoulders, and shaking him. Eddie could sense the subject he was about to bring up from his consoling squeeze alone. âSo, how goes the whole ânot falling in loveâ thing?â
Eddie had his correction at the ready, âI said âattached,â not âfall in love.ââ
Steve gave him a long, hard stare.
âAnd I said it was Adrie I was worried about getting attached.â
Steve deepened his stare.
Eddie looked away, then back, then away again. He was quiet for a few strained moments, shuffling his feet while the kids thanked a woman dressed as a witch for her cauldron of candy, and his passing gaze lingered on the Mouse holding his daughterâs hand.
You glanced in his direction, where he stayed on the outskirts of the group, and suppressed a giggle. You were listening to Adrie and her friendâs story about mermaids with full interest, asking questions, and gasping at the information they were disclosing, acting as if they knew the worldâs secrets and deemed you worthy of its knowledge.
It was sweet. Endearing, adorable, attractive in the worst ways, and exactly the sort of fun Adrie craved that he couldnât provide when he was overworked, tired, and stressed to the point of crying frustrated tears.
Except, of course, those bad days had become less and less since you started working at the auto shop..
Eddie surrendered. âHow does it look like itâs going?â
âLike you're happier when sheâs around,â Steve replied.
âReal good thatâs doinâ me.â
They had reached the end of the street, and waited to cross at the stop sign.
Steve shrugged, and said, âI think itâs cute you finally found someone to have a crush onâOw!â He clutched his side where Eddie elbowed him.
He hissed, âNot so loud,â even though you were several feet away, and talking animatedly with Robin.
âOh, câmon, itâs precious.â Lifting his chin, Steve alluded to the way you picked up Adrie and herded the other children across the road like sheep. âYâknow, you were right about her saying âyesâ to everything. Her and Robin have some wild stories. Did you know someone came up to them at one of those sleazy hole-in-the-wall bars and asked them to perform on stageâlike, obviously meaning you know, strippingâbut she accepted his offer, and thatâs how they started doing stand up together? Yeah, they just went up there and started shouting jokes at all the drunks. Dodging beer being thrown at them, and whatever. Sounds fun.â
âYeah, real fun,â Eddie muttered with a horrified expression, wondering how you managed to survive this long with your absurd policy.
âAnyway,â Steve surmised. âI think you should go for it.â
The mood shifted instantly. Eddieâs face went lax, aside from his flared nostrils. He spoke firmly, âI canât do that, man.â
âWhy not?â When Eddie refused to elaborate with a scornful shake of his head, and sudden tenseness to his jaw, Steve softened his nature. He tightened his hold on him in a make-shift hug, and requested, âTalk it out with me. Tell me what youâre going through, and what you want out of this, because you sure do flirt a lot for someone who keeps denying themselves a real relationship.â
âI donât know what the fuck I want anymore,â he exhaled in mind, body, and spirit. Just a complete depletion of all his anxieties under the weight of Steveâs arm.
Eddie ran his tongue along the back of his bottom teeth while he observed you crouch in someoneâs driveway to make a case for Halloween themed pencils, and how they may not be exciting as candy, but there were bats on them, and Adrienne liked bats, therefore, the pencils were cool.
The anxieties were replaced with the blooming realization of how deep his crush went, and the stab of reality pierced the good feelings.
âThereâs a million reasons why itâs a bad idea,â Eddie sighed, and gathered his thoughts to list them out as succinctly as possible. âUh, letâs see. First of all, weâre coworkers, and this week has already been a real glimpse into how this would all pan out if I took the risk and things didnât work out.â
Steve rocked his head to the side. âFair, but itâs pretty obvious she likes you too, with how she flirts back.â
âPerfect segue. Okay, so maybe she does like me. But does she like me? And does she like Adrie? Canât have one without the other. And, man, she made it clear at the movies that she doesnât even ask if her dates have kids, because thereâs never been a second oneâa second date, I mean. Sheâs that casual about it.â
âWhy not try something casual, then?â
âWhen have I ever approached anything casually in my life?â
âYou raise a good point there,â Steve answered, shivering at the sudden uptick in frigid gusts biting through his thick jacket.
You and Robin pulled off to the side so your gaggle of kids could take turns stomping on crunchy brown leaves before they blew away.
Ensuring they were at a good distance to watch, but not be overheard, Steve kept his voice low, âWhat else?â
Eddie rolled his eyes. âGee, I dunno, how about the fact she hates this place, and is going to leave eventually? Hate to break it to you, but even if she likes me like that, and even if things worked out for a while, Iâm not ready to explain to Adrie why the nice lady she loves so much doesnât come around anymore.â
âSo make her stay around.â
âWhat?â
Shrugging with that stupid grin of his, Steve explained, nonchalant and lackadaisical, âYou said she says âyesâ to everything. So just ask her to stay.â
Leaning into it, Eddie pulled an overjoyed face, and threw his arms up, gesticulating overdramatically. âOkay! Yeah, youâre right. Iâll just ask her to marry me, then sheâll be forced to stay in this hellhole with me forever. What a grand idea!â
Steveâs full-bodied laugh sent them both doubling over. âOkay, stud, going straight for marriage. It was just a suggestion that maybe sheâs over the crazy party-til-dawn city life, and is looking for.. whatever it is youâve got.â
âThanks for the pep talk,â he said with more than a hint of sarcasm. Easing out of his glare, he broke himself out of considering Steveâs validation as anything more than an audible feedback loop of the things he wanted to hear, and not the facts he needed to hear. âDoesnât matter. She could like me, she could not. She could want kids, she could not. She could stay, she could not. I still have to see her every day, regardless. Thereâs not a lot of other options out there for me, and even if she didnât want the city life anymore, I donât think sheâs gunning for the single dad whose biggest aspiration is getting a trailer of his own, so his uncle can have his room back.â
Cynicism, cynicism, cynicism. Denial.
Steveâs mouth twisted, and he became serious. âDonât talk about yourself like that.â
âItâs true, though.â
Ahead, a guy caught Steveâs attention and signaled that it was his turn again on wagon duty, which was the perfect excuse to make his exit because you were standing on your tip-toes, seeking out Eddie in the sea of Stormtroopers. You spotted him and waved with childlike glee, making your way over.
Steveâs hair fell into his eyes as he drew Eddie in. âOne last piece of advice,â he began, gaze set on the side of his friendâs face, accepting not even he could win over his attention when it came to existing in the same universe as you. âIf youâre serious about not pursuing her, maybe stop looking like youâre gonna blow your load every time she smiles at you.â
Eddie sputtered, âJesus Christ, dude.â
With that last remark to recover from, Eddie was forced to rearrange his pale face into anything remotely appropriate while Steve got to stroll away as if nothing happened.
âUh, hey,â he said, eyes scared wide, and showing too many teeth in his tight smile under your scrutiny.
You brought your hand up, and stepped into him until your chests were nearly together. Cocking your head, you pointed at something over yonder, and slowly, unwillingly, he stopped analyzing the nuances of your face to look at the group of kids at the house across the street. One kid in particular. Dressed in black, and with six additional arms dangling from his two human ones.
You couldnât keep the sheer triumph out of your voice, âThat spider is certainly bigger than your palm.â
He winced as if your joke physically pained him. He curled in on himself, and depleted himself of oxygen to groan a long, contemptuous, âSo lame,â stressing both words to exaggerate his misery. Shaking his head as if his grievance was anything other than a ploy to discover what it felt like to reject reality, and satiate the envy he felt when Adrie got to be this close to you. Foreheads almost together. Noses almost grazing.
As if your hand trapped between your bodies was anything other than a ploy to rest the backs of your fingers on his chest as you laughed. As you leaned into him. As you tugged on his sweatshirt underneath his leather jacket, begging him to give in until, at last, he broke.
Eddie laughed with you, recklessly.
âDid you really abandon my kid to run over here and tell me that?â
âSheâs safe with Bobbie,â you promised in a whisper. âAnd yes, I did.â
Leaf-shaped shadows danced across you both, cast from the orange glow of the streetlamp above. Autumnal bare branches, electric wires, swaying in the wind, revealing your faces in quick pieces; a wrinkled forehead here, contours of a nose there. Flashes of a puzzle you both collected and assembled in the scarce seconds before it was time to move on to the next house.
You crossed your arms tight over yourself and walked beside him, smiling at the ground.
âHowâve you enjoyed your Halloween experience?â he asked, swinging his arms wide to gesture at Hawkins in general. âIâm sure itâs a lot different than what youâre used to.â
âOh, I love it!â you said in earnest, surrounded by all the things youâd only seen on screen before. âItâs just like the movies. Trick-or-treating, little kids running around in costumes, the weather, the decorations. Itâs surreal. Usually Iâd be drunk in a nightclub by now.â
Furrowing his brow, he looked upwards as if he were reading a nonexistent clock, and asked with a twinge of parental disapproval, âIsnât it, like, 8PM?â
âYeah,â you admitted, unperturbed. Too impassive to put him at ease. Like you were lording a secret over him. âDonât act like you werenât the same before you had Adrie.â
âAnd what does that mean?â
âHarringtonâs been telling me stories about you,â you informed him, and rolled your bottom lip inward, biting it as he zeroed in on your cheeky grin getting a rise out of him.
He squinted at you. âCalling him Harrington, huh? Well, arenât you two chummy.â Mentally rolling a Nat 20 for Stealth, he lifted his hand to your side without you noticing. âWhatâd he tell you?â
You made an âXâ over your mouth with your fingers.
The perfect position to leave yourself open for attack. I mean, the opportunity presented itself so splendidly, how could he not? How could he resist the greatest temptation?
His impending threat continued to go undetected. Giving you one last chance, he dipped his face to yoursârelishing how the apples of your cheeks intruded on your eyes when you smiled this hard, forcing them to scrunch closedâand he asked, âWhat did he tell you?â
âIâm not repeating!â you giggled.
Oh, you were giggling all right. And in the next gasp, you were squealing, jerking away from him.
Eddie was merciless. His large hands proved too difficult to escape. He poked, prodded. Tickled you until his every, âTell me, tell me, tell me,â was met with your, âStop, stop, stop, please!â You fought him fruitlessly, grappling at his forearms, and failing to do little more than slip against his sleeves. He cackled at you. Mocked you with the tip of his tongue to his teeth each time you thought you got away, only to be caught again. You resisted. Resisted. Persevered in the face of evilâknocking your forehead into his chin on accident. Eddie thought you wouldâve caved by now, but it was him who stopped; and not because of the unwanted attention your antics drew.
You pried him away from your ribs.
âYouâre freezing!â Eddieâs mood changed on a dime at feeling your frigid fingers on top of his. He shifted so that he was enveloping your hands, encasing you in his warmth in exchange for the cold seeping to his bones.
âYeah,â you answered sheepishly.
âYou made a fuss about reminding me to put Adrie in extra layers, but youâre not wearing a jacket?â
You chewed on the inside of your cheek, distorting your grin. âYeah.â
âYouâre irresponsible, you know that?â
âYeah.â
âA real bad example.â
âYeah.â
âAn absolute pain in my ass.â Eddie grinned with you. Eyelids falling half-closed. Searing your skin with his heat. Enacting the subtle art of asking questions for the sake of prolonging the moment. Not like it was obvious, given you readily accepted his fingers curled around yours with a coy glint to your gaze. Totally discreet as he let go to shrug off his jacket and hand it over.
Obliging him, you raised your eyebrows. âWhat a gentleman.â You slid your arms into the sleeves, snuggled into his blanketing warmth, and tugged the collar over your mouth, rendering yourself to a pair of pretty eyes.
He was a goner.
âTell me what Harrington said.â
âOkay,â you indulged him, breath coming out as a fog. âHe said..â You were back to giggling behind the collar, remembering the story. âHe said one time at a party there was this big watermelon keg he spent all day working on.â Eddie pressed his lips into a line, knowing where this was going. âHe scooped out the innards. Spent painstaking hours cutting up fruit to put inside it and soak up all the rum. And then you wandered in. Already hammered, and you, youââ You snickered and peeled back the collar. âYou knocked it over within ten seconds of walking in the kitchen, smashing it everywhere like a crime scene.â You hid behind the collar again, then opened it, voice gone high-pitched with suppressed laughter. âAnd he said you panicked, and tried to scoop it up in your hands and put it in peopleâs cups!â More laughter. âAnd when they said ânoâ because it was fucking gross floor juice, you tried eating all the fruit yourself.â One more hide and seek of the collar as you lost it in a final squeak, âAnd you cried!â
He waited until you calmed down to show how thrilled he was in a deadpan tone, âGreat, great. Iâm so glad he told you that one.â
âIt certainly conjures an image.â
Thinking the conversation was over, you took a step in the direction of your trick-or-treat group, but something caught your eye. You tilted your head. He mirrored you, tilting it the same way. You shuffled to the side. He turned with you, more, more towards the streetlamp. Curious as to what you were doing, and why you were staring at his chest, mouthing something.
âWhatâs Corroded Coffin?â
âUhâItâsâItâs nothing,â Eddie said a bit too loud, wiping at his sweatshirt like the self-printed logo was a crumb he could discard himself of.
Fortunately, a wild Adrienne appeared, interrupting him from making a bigger fool of himself. âMy hands are cold. Can I have my gloves?â
Eddie glided his hands over his stomach out of habit, and realized his pockets werenât there. Without warning, he grabbed a fistful of his jacket, and yanked you to him, spinning you, manhandling you. Forcing you to catch yourself on his braced musclesâshoulder to his chest, hip to a place heâd rather not dwell on. Not gentlemanly at all.
You released a string of flustered remarks, and pushed away from him, making it appear to be a benign accident in front of his daughter.
âHere,â he said to Adrie, holding the black mittens above her head, out of her reach.
She jumped, and jumped, and stomped. âDaddy,â she whined.
Dusting yourself off from the previous encounter, you agreed, âYouâre so cruel, bullying your own child.â
âShe knows the magic words,â he led on.
âPlease!â She jumped higher, huffing and puffing.
âAnd?â
âAnd thank you!â
He relented. His evil reign came to an end. First, the tickling, now, the height advantage over a little girl. He gave Adrie the mittens and she stuck her tongue out at him before bolting off faster than lightning.
It was you turn to poke a stern finger into his ribs. âAwful, awful man,â you scolded him. Unlucky for you, he wasnât ticklish there, nor was he ashamed of any of his actions these past few minutes. He might come to regret them when you move back to New York and these were the memories he was left with, but he wasnât ashamed.
No, not ashamed to overstep the boundaries he resurrected in pursuit of happiness. If only a little. Enough to feel the thrill of danger, but remain safe inside his walls.
Casual.
You liked casual.
Fuck what he said earlier. He could keep it casual. He could handle innocent flirting without it getting out of hand.
âWe should probably catch up with everyone before they send Scooby and the gang to search for us,â you said, walking backwards, throwing your thumb over your shoulder.
He snorted. âTerrible joke. Are you sure you were a comedian?â
You answered him with two middle fingers, which you promptly put away. Adrie came running back after just one house, hunched over, dragging her feet; hair a loose mess, barrettes dangling. Displaying all the theatrics of her father.
She made grabby hands at you. Not him. And before he could voice his hurt, you scooped her into your arms, and she rested her chin on your shoulder.
âHey,â he complained weakly, walking up to you from behind so he could take the treat bucket before it spilled, and talk to Adrie directly. âYou told me you were a big girl who could walk on her own, and didnât need to be held.â Her refute was a babbling grumble laced with fatigue.
Speaking to you, he said, âYou donât have to carry her.â
âI donât mind. I think they only want to do a few more houses before we head back. Do you wanna join?â
At first, Eddie was quiet, and you spun in a slow circle to see him, catching the end of his wistful expression at the rich neighborhood and its opulent houses owned by affluent people who heard a rumor or two about Munson, and decided he wasnât worth more than their wary glances when his kid played with theirs.
âNah, Iâm good over here.â He ran his hand over the back of Adrieâs head, and relaxed his stance, staying put.
âLet me help ya out there, Cool Guy,â you said, motioning for him to bend to you. You picked a narrow, apple-red leaf out of his tangled hair, and flicked it away.
âHow long has that been there?â
Shrugging your mouth to disguise your beaming grin, you feigned ignorance while walking away. âWhoâs to say?â
To further exacerbate his embarrassment into genuine distress, after two Mummies answered the door, and you were coming down the sidewalk, he saw you pull off the side for Steve to pass with the stroller, and you laid your cheek on the top of Adrieâs head. You whispered something in her ear. Something most intriguing, on account of her coming to life, no longer sleepy. The exchange was short; her asking a question, and you answering. But as you nodded with heavy-lidded eyes, and she pressed her fingers to her smile, you both turned, looked at him, and giggled.
Eddie gulped.
He didnât like this new feeling of you two sharing secrets about him. Especially ones he couldnât threaten out of you, no matter how many times he put his hands on your ribs.
~~~
As the evening came to a close, Eddie carried Adrie on his hip while you lugged her bucket of sweets. The plastic handle bowed from the weight of the candy, and your fingertips went numb from the burden. And maybe for your troubles, you took a piece. Or two.
The group petered out until it was left to the core of you returning to Steveâs house. The goodbyes were truncated due to the three sleepy kids in tow. You handed off the bucket to Eddie, first asking if he was sure he didnât need help getting to his car, and when he assured you he was fine, you squeezed Adrieâs ankle and whispered a goodbye she didnât hear, too lost in Dreamland and drooling on her dadâs shoulder to know the night was over.
He said heâd see you Monday and parted ways, walking in the opposite direction, and you waited at the white-picket fence gate for Robin to stop swapping sneaky peeks at Steve and Nancy to join you.
âBobbie, I know you donât want me driving.â
She made eyes at Nancy one last time, and descended the porch stairs at a leisurely pace. âYeah, we can leave.â
~~~
The drive home was a welcomed respite after the constant overstimulation. The radio was set to low, the heater caressed warmth along your wind-burnt cheeks, the headlights spotlighted deer grazing on the sides of the lonely road. Robin kept lofting soft smiles in your direction, which you returned.
Parking at her parentâs house, you closed the car door behind you, hearing it echo off the forest. The rocky driveway crunched under your shoes on your way to the door. The porch light was on, elongating your shadows across the ground, following you step by step.
âSo, you and Eddie, huh?â Robin asked, turning the key in the lock.
You snapped to attention, schooling your features from giving you away. âJust friends,â you reiterated at her suggestive tone. âJust friends and coworkers. Heâs dropped more than enough hints that heâs not looking for more.â You finished in more of a sigh, âNot with me, anyway.â
âIs that so?â
Her lopsided smirk struck undesired hope in your heart.
Robin pushed open the door, and curled in her forefinger to tap her knuckle on her upper lip. She dropped her gaze to your general upper body, and hummed, âYou, uh.. forget something?â
You looked down at yourself. âOhââ
ââââ
Eddie dropped his shoulders back expecting to feel something slide down his arms. Then, he patted his chest, and realized. ââShit.â He stared at his coat hook next to the front door where his leather jacket usually hung, and reprimanded himself in a soft laugh. âGuess Iâll have to get it back on Monday.â
âHow much candy can I have?â Adrienne asked, dumping out her bucket on the coffee table, and scrambling to pick up the Tootsie Rolls that fell on the floor. She began sorting into piles of most favorite to least favorite.
âOne,â Eddie stated sternly.
He turned on the TV and sat on the couch, decompressing while Adrie cackled over her hoard like Smaug. He shouldâve known something was up when she wouldnât stop giggling to herself.
His suspicions were answered when she turned around to show him the one piece she picked outâperfectly following his rules.
âUh, absolutely not!â Eddie swiped it from her. âSeriously, who gives out full size Snickers bars on Halloween?â
âBut, Daddy, you said!â
Leaning forward to rest his arms on his thighs, he demanded her attention before the pitiful crocodile tears started. âIâll make you a deal,â he said, and reached past her for a mini Musketeers to compare. âYou can have the Snickers, but you have to share half with me. See, half is still bigger than one of these little ones, so youâll still be coming out of this a winner. âKay?â She nodded and went to grab it. âBut! I donât want any tantrums when I tell you itâs bath time.â Again, she agreed and he reeled the candybar back into himself, away from her quick fingers. âAnd! You have to brush your teeth after.â
âI will,â she promised with a deep frown.
âAnd you still have to go to bed at the normal time.â
Pushing her hair out of her face, she dropped her head in another big nod.
Eddie was satisfied and went to give it to her. But another thought crossed his mindâone of true luxuryâand the allure of the idea proved too good to ignore.
Much to her dismay, he snatched the candybar away before she could get a good grasp on it, and he deepened his voice to show he was serious, âAnd I want to shower. Ten minutes. Uninterrupted.â
She groaned at the ceiling at his never ending list of rules. âFine!â
~~~
Riding his tingly feel-good high, Eddie opened the bathroom door to let the steam out, and toweled off the fog on the medicine cabinet mirror. He took out his comb and scissors, and sectioned out his bangs.
Brunette snips of wet hair fell in triangles onto his white tank top and around the sink. It wasnât a noticeable trim, just enough to get them off his eyebrows when dried.
With some amount of clarity, he looked his reflection in the eye as he evened out the cut, and didnât know if he should be wearing the faint smile he did, or if he should listen to his better judgment, and stop making modifications to his barriers.
He knew you deserved a better life than what Hawkins could offer, but he could enjoy the innocent workplace flirtations, right? They were harmless. Little compliments here and there to boost his confidence. Thatâs all it was. Itâs not like you actually found him attractive, right? Youâd been on enough dates to know what to say to a guy. Thatâs all.
Though, he did need to remember to have a talk with Adrie about setting her expectations and understanding Daddy could have friends without it leading anywhere, and that was okay.
ââsome.â
Jumping, Eddie said a prayer that was not righteous, and thanked the stars he was not trimming closer to his eyes when his daughter scared him. âJesus Christ, kid,â he exhaled.
âHandsome,â she said again.
Taken aback, he let the flattery sink in. Besides last week at the movies, he didnât get compliments often, or at all, and to receive one now while his thoughts circled back to that familiar sting of ugliness with the way other parents looked at him tonight, Adrieâs kindness matured his grin into a real smile.
âYou think Iâm handsome?â he asked in a mild, quick laugh. âThatâs sweet.â He leaned over the sink and worked on his bangs again, snipping up into the strands between his fingers.
âMissâouse does.â
âWhatâ?â Her words were incoherent from her fingers stuffed in her mouth. âDid you say..?â He dropped the comb and scissors, and spun around, eyes set on her. Adrie released a high-pitched shriek and ran from the doorway. âWait! Adrie! She said that? She said that about me?â He chased her into the living room, dodging back and forth around the coffee table. Duping left, right. Catching her as she made a quick escape to her bedroom. âTell me what you said? Did Miss Mouse say that about me? Did she call me handsome?â
Try as he might, threatening to tickle her until she repeated herself, Adrienne refused to tell him the secret you whispered in her ear.

â Pinnacle [ tsukishima kei university au series ]
â you taught me secret language you know i canât speak with anyone else ; donât let your self-doubts and insecurities win or else youâll not going anywhere
authorâs notes : no mention of (y/n), written in second person pov, semi alternative universe, timeskip!tsukishima, college life, not proofread, english is not my first language
[ masterlist ] | [ ask daleelah go to box box đ ]
Itâs been four days. And you couldnât shake the embarrassment from your last interaction with Tsukishima. Confessing your feelings to him that night, sitting together in his car as he celebrated your birthdayâjust the two of you with muffins and a simple bracelet giftâfelt like a mistake now. The memory haunted you, the weight of your words and the silence that followed too overwhelming to face.
So, you did what you thought was best: you shut him out, distancing yourself in every way possible. You even archived his chat on your phone. Out of sight, out of mind. The thought of seeing his name sent your heart into overdrive, and you couldnât afford distractions, not when you were already drowning in assignments. It was easier to pretend he didnât exist, to focus solely on your work, but it wasnât sustainable.
Your assignments had become your life. The deadlines, the stressâthey consumed you. You threw yourself into your studies to the point of exhaustion, trying desperately to escape the lingering thoughts of him. It was easier this way. Easier to lose yourself in the endless tasks than to deal with the complicated mess of feelings you didnât know how to untangle.
Still, there were moments when you couldnât help but remember how he used to help you. Tsukishima would explain things in a way that made everything seem so simple, without the frustration or pressure that usually came with your academic struggles. Heâd lend you his old notes, give you study references, and somehow, just knowing he was there made things less stressful. But now, those memories were just a painful reminder of how much you missed his presenceâhis calm, straightforward way of teaching that made everything feel less chaotic.
But missing him didnât mean you were ready to face him again. Not yet.
Tsukishima had noticed the shift in your behavior almost immediately. The night you confessed your feelings to him in the car, when he celebrated your birthday privately. You were so vulnerable, admitting how you felt, and all he did was sit there in stunned silence. No words of comfort, no response. He just shifted silently, unable to process it in the moment.
He regretted it nowâevery second of it. The way he just let the moment slip by without saying anything, how his silence had caused this distance between you two. He didnât mean to hurt you. The truth was, he hadnât been expecting the confession. It caught him off guard, and instead of addressing it like he should have, he shut down. Now, that silence was haunting him.
Every time he pulled out his phone to message you, he hesitated. His fingers would hover over the screen, typing out a few words before deleting them again. What was he supposed to say? Hey, why are you avoiding me? It sounded accusatory in his mind, like he was placing blame. But that wasnât it. He didnât want to push you away further.
Heâd already sent a couple of messages, simple onesâchecking in, asking if you wanted to study together or meet up for lunchâbut every time, he was met with silence. No response. It was like you had vanished. He even thought about messaging Yamaguchi to ask if he had noticed anything different, but that felt like a step too far. He didnât want to seem like he was overthinking things.
It wasnât just about the confession anymoreâit was about how he missed you. He missed your presence, your questions, the way youâd show up stressed with assignments, and heâd offer to help. He missed being the one to simplify things for you, to lend you his old notes and references. It was a strange kind of absence, one that gnawed at him more than he cared to admit.
Tsukishima found himself lingering in places where he knew youâd pass byânear the class hall, at the library, even by the volleyball courtâhoping for a chance encounter, hoping for the opportunity to casually start a conversation. But every time he saw you, youâd turn the other way, or walk faster, or pretend to be engrossed in something else.
And that stung. More than he expected.
One night, as he sat alone in his apartment, his phone resting on the table in front of him, Tsukishima stared at your contact. The chat was quiet, no new messages. He felt the weight of the silence, the kind that crept into the spaces between his thoughts and made him restless. He wanted to send you another message, but what could he say that he hadnât already?
Finally, he picked up his phone, taking a deep breath before typing out something simple, something that wouldnât seem too desperate.
Hey, I havenât seen you around lately. Everything okay?
He hit send before he could overthink it, before the nagging voice in his head could convince him otherwise.
But again, there was no response. No âreadâ notification, nothing.
For the first time in a long time, Tsukishima felt uncertain. He wasnât used to feeling like thisâlike he was waiting on something beyond his control. And it unsettled him.
He leaned back against the couch, running a hand through his hair in frustration. This wasnât how things were supposed to go. He wasnât supposed to care this much. But here he was, sitting in his quiet apartment, wondering why the silence between you felt so loud.
---
Tsukishima and Yamaguchi had just finished volleyball practice, the cool evening air brushing against their skin as they exited the gym. They were chatting casually about their next tournament, already making plans to grab snacks at the culinary festival. The smell of grilled food was enticing, and Yamaguchi was in high spirits, talking about the strawberry tanghulu he was craving.
As they turned a corner in the hallway, a sudden collision interrupted their conversation. Papers flew everywhere, scattering across the floor like fallen leaves in autumn. The three of them froze for a second, momentarily stunned by the abruptness of the accident.
You were kneeling on the ground, hurriedly gathering your scattered notes, mumbling an apology under your breath. âIâm so sorry, it was my badââ
Yamaguchi, always quick to help, was the first to kneel down, reaching for your papers. âNo, itâs okay. We werenât paying attention either,â he said, offering you a kind smile as he handed over the documents he had gathered. Tsukishima followed suit, quietly picking up a few stray papers, though he paused when he realized that you still hadnât noticed who you had bumped into.
You kept your gaze lowered, focused on reorganizing your papers, as if determined to avoid meeting anyoneâs eyes. âThanks,â you mumbled, taking the stack from Tsukishimaâs outstretched hand, not even looking up at him.
For a moment, he stood there, his hand lingering in the air. Your voice had been quietâalmost too quiet. Tsukishimaâs expression was unreadable, but his eyes lingered on you, searching for something in your demeanor. You were more flustered than usual, your movements rushed, as if you were eager to flee from the scene.
âI gotta go. Thanks for your help,â you said quickly, pushing the papers into your bag. Your voice was strained, and before either of them could say anything more, you straightened up and took a step back.
But Yamaguchi wasnât ready to let you leave so easily. âHey, wait,â he called after you, his tone light and inviting. âDo you want to grab some snacks with us? Thereâs a culinary festival at Hall B. Theyâve got all sorts of good stuff.â
You stopped in your tracks, hesitating for a moment. Tsukishima noticed the way your shoulders stiffened, your hand clutching your bag tightly. Slowly, you turned to look at Yamaguchi, and then, reluctantly, your eyes shifted to meet Tsukishimaâs gaze. His expression was sharp, intense, as if he were waiting for somethingâanythingâfrom you.
Your heart clenched in your chest. The memory of that night in the car came flooding backâthe night you confessed, laying your feelings bare, and all you received in return was his silence. The hurt you felt then rose to the surface now, simmering beneath your skin. You couldnât stand the way he looked at you, the same cold, unreadable expression. You blinked a few times, trying to push the emotions down, but the frustration bubbled up, filling you with a sudden rush of anger.
âI⊠I have something to do, unfortunately. Sorry, maybe next time,â you stammered, your voice a little too stiff, the smile you forced onto your lips weak and fleeting. Without waiting for their response, you turned on your heel and walked away, your pace quickening with every step.
Tsukishimaâs gaze followed you until you disappeared around the corner. His fists clenched at his sides, a quiet frustration settling over him. He didnât like the way you had avoided his eyes, the way you had brushed off Yamaguchiâs invitation, but what bothered him most was the tiredness he saw in you. You looked worn out, emotionally drained, and it struck something deep inside himâa protective instinct he wasnât used to feeling.
Yamaguchi let out a confused hum, frowning slightly as he watched you leave. âWhatâs up with her?â he mumbled under his breath, turning to Tsukishima. âShe didnât even look at you⊠thatâs not like her, is it?â
Tsukishima pushed his glasses up, trying to mask his own unease. âShe said she has something to do.â
âYeah, but she seemed⊠different,â Yamaguchi pressed, his brow furrowing. âItâs not like sheâs close to me or anything, but she usually doesnât act like that. Sheâs always polite and thoughtful. I donât know, it just felt off.â
Tsukishima didnât respond immediately, but the tightness in his chest hadnât eased. He hated how helpless he felt right now, how every part of him wanted to chase after you and explain himselfâbut he couldnât bring himself to move. You had your reasons for leaving, and he wasnât about to make things worse by pushing you when you clearly didnât want to be around him.
After a moment of silence, Yamaguchi spoke again, this time his tone softer. âDid something happen between you two?â
Tsukishima tensed at the question, his shoulders stiffening. He didnât expect Yamaguchi to be so direct, but the concern in his friendâs voice left no room for dodging the truth.
With a heavy sigh, Tsukishima relented. âYeah⊠something happened.â
Yamaguchiâs eyes widened slightly in surprise but he remained quiet, waiting for Tsukishima to continue.
Tsukishima hesitated for a moment before explaining what had happened in the car that night. He told Yamaguchi about your confessionâhow youâd poured your heart out to him, and how, in the heat of the moment, he hadnât known what to say. The weight of his silence, and how it had clearly affected you since.
Yamaguchi groaned loudly, shaking his head in disbelief. âTsukki⊠why didnât you say anything?!â
âI wanted to,â Tsukishima muttered, his voice edged with frustration. âBut she ran away before I could even process what she said.â
âRan away?â Yamaguchi raised an eyebrow, biting into his strawberry tanghulu. âYouâve been an athlete since high school, Tsukki. Donât tell me you couldnât catch up with her.â
Silence hung between them for a moment, and Tsukishima sighed deeply. His gaze shifted downward, lost in thought. âItâs not that simple. I mean, I know Iâm interested in her. Sheâs been on my mind more than anyone else⊠and after what happened with that drunk guy in the park, I justââ He paused, the memory of that night flaring up, the fear he felt seeing you in danger.
Yamaguchi looked at him, a knowing expression crossing his face. âYou love her, Tsukki.â
Tsukishima groaned again, rubbing the back of his neck in frustration. âSheâs only 20. What if sheâs just confused about her feelings? I donât want to be that jerk who takes advantage of someone who isnât sure.â
Yamaguchiâs expression softened, and he let out a deep sigh. âI get that, but maybe youâre overthinking this. If she confessed to you, it means sheâs thought about it.â
Tsukishimaâs expression didnât change. âHer mom controls so much of her life. She hasnât even had the chance to figure out what she really wants. I donât want to get in the way of that⊠she deserves more than being tied down by someone like me.â
Yamaguchi looked at him incredulously. âNow that doesnât sound like you at all. Since when did you let anything stop you from getting what you want?â
â-
You sat nestled between the library bookshelves, your legs folded beneath you, your head resting wearily on your arms. The pressure of your biochemistry assignment had drained you, particularly the report on Protein Biochemistryâanalyzing enzyme kinetics and purifying a specific protein. You had to design the experimental process for extracting, purifying, and characterizing a recombinant protein, including interpreting results from chromatography, electrophoresis, and spectrophotometry. The sheer volume of data, graphs, and analysis overwhelmed you, and after hours of staring at equations and assay results, your body gave in.
Your papers had spilled out around you, strewn on the floor, as your mind drifted offânot into sleep, but something close enough. Earphones were still in your ears, faint music playing, trying to provide a sense of calm that the stress had stolen from you. You had only meant to rest your eyes for a minute. Yet, here you were, curled up and barely holding it together in the dim light of the library.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps on the library's quiet floor snapped you from the haze. It wasn't deep sleepâyou had only let your eyes close momentarilyâbut it was enough to make the sound of someone nearby feel like an intrusion. You heard the soft rustle of paper, and when you blinked your eyes open, you saw Tsukishima crouching beside you, one of your crumpled assignment pages in his hands.
"Are you gonna sleep here?" His voice was soft, laced with sarcasm, but somehow not as cutting as usual.
Your eyes widened slightly, startled by his presence, but you quickly collected yourself. With a silent nod of thanks, you gently took the paper from his hand, avoiding his gaze as you gathered the rest of your scattered work. You could feel his eyes on you, watching as you stuffed everything haphazardly into your bag. You didnât want him to see the state you were inâexhausted, frustrated, and on the brink of breaking down from the weight of the assignment. It was easier to avoid him than to admit how much his presence affected you lately.
You stood up, checking your phone: 7 PM. Five hours had passed since you first sat down to tackle your work, and the time had flown by in a blur of confusion and growing anxiety. Your back ached from sitting in the same position for too long, and you stifled a groan as you slung your heavy backpack over your shoulder.
Tsukishima let out a small sigh as you brushed past him, clearly annoyed that you were still avoiding him. He stood up beside you and followed as you began walking toward the exit of the library.
After a few moments, you noticed him still walking next to you, matching your pace, and before you could ask why, he handed you a bottle of water. The gesture caught you off guard.
You hesitated, but then you mumbled, âThanks,â as you took the bottle from his hand. You hadn't realized just how thirsty you were until now, the dryness in your throat suddenly impossible to ignore. You took a long sip, your steps continuing in silence beside him.
It wasnât until you had nearly reached the library doors that Tsukishima finally spoke again. "I want to talk to you," he said, his voice a little firmer this time.
"About what?" you asked, your tone clipped as you kept your eyes ahead, unwilling to look at him directly.
"You know what," he said, the irritation creeping into his voice. You could tell that your avoidance had worn him down, and his patience was running thin.
That anger that had been bubbling beneath your exhaustion finally surfaced. You stopped walking, turning to face him. "Your silence has been clear enough for me," you bit out, your voice trembling with the frustration youâd been holding in.
You turned to leave, but Tsukishimaâs hand wrapped around your wrist, stopping you in your tracks. The warmth of his touch sent a jolt through you. "Come on, youâve been avoiding me for days. And we both know it's hurting us equally,â he said, his voice softer now, almost pleading.
You pulled your wrist from his grasp, turning on him with a glare. âFine. Talk now, then,â you snapped, your heart pounding. âTell me it was casual for you to save me, help me, hug me, kiss my hand, let me sleep on your armââ
âI like you too,â he interrupted, his voice steady, but there was an unfamiliar vulnerability in his eyes. âI like you too, okay?â
The world seemed to stop in that moment. The words you had been longing to hear felt like a balm to your aching heart, but the frustration remained. You felt tears prickling your eyes, the exhaustion and emotions mixing together as your breath hitched. "Then why didnât you say anything?" you whispered, tears slipping down your cheeks now that the dam had broken.
Tsukishima stepped closer, his hand reaching out to cup your face, gently wiping away the tears with his thumb. His touch was so gentle, so unlike the sharp edges of his personality you had grown used to. âI didnât expect it from you. I was going to confess too, but⊠as a man, I was offended you made the first move.â He let out a small sigh. âThatâs not an excuse, I know. I shouldnât have left you hanging, confused.â
Tsukishimaâs voice dropped, a subtle mix of uncertainty and self-reflection. He gazed down at you, his usually confident demeanor softened. âDo you really think you like me?â he asked, his brow furrowing slightly. âI mean, I was a jerk. A grumpy TA who gave you hard days. I made things worse for you when you were already strugglingâŠâ
His words trailed off, and he looked away for a moment, as if trying to process his own feelings. "You deserve better than that."
You blinked up at him, caught off guard by his sudden vulnerability. You closed your eyes, leaning into his touch despite everything. âBut you helped me through things I was struggling with⊠even when you didnât have to,â you whispered, your voice barely audible.
Tsukishima chuckled softly, his thumb continuing to wipe your tears away. He pulled you into his arms, wrapping you in an embrace that felt so natural, as if this had been waiting to happen all along. His fingers combed through your hair as he pressed a soft kiss to the top of your head, breathing in your scent, his hold on you tightening as if he feared letting go.
âOkay, okay, stop crying,â he teased lightly, though there was still softness in his voice. âI told you, I like you too.â
You let out a small, shaky laugh, wiping your own face now as you calmed down, still buried in the warmth of his chest. There was a comfortable silence between you as he held you, and you felt like you could stay there forever, the world outside fading away.
You tilted your head up to look at him, your face still flushed from crying but with a small smile tugging at your lips. âSo⊠does that make you my boyfriend now?â you asked, your voice soft but with a hint of playful curiosity.
Tsukishima couldnât help but smile at your question. He chuckled softly, shaking his head before nodding. "Yeah," he said, his voice filled with amusement and affection.
