various pregame shenaniganeries, including a baby shu because I missed him :) kinda long naegamigiri timeline thing under the cut that I made at like 1 am on friday
Hi hi hi sit down weāre gonna talk about pre-game naegamigiri because theyāre kinda the reverse of how in-game naegamigiri ends up together in my head. HI hihihi this is Egg slightly later this kinda grabbed me and ran into the sunset so naegamigiri timeline thing lets goooooooo
So to start us out, we have the top two in the class, Togami sitting at no. 2 and Kirigiri sitting at no. 1. Togami being Togami, instantly turns this into a competition. His number 1 priority becomes rising to the no. 1 spot and shoving it in this dumbass detectiveās smug face. At first, Kirigiri really couldn't be bothered, but sadly, she fell victim to Togamiās secret second talent, Super High School Level Drama Queen. So pretty quickly into their first year, Kirigiri and Togami are academic rivals! Both being naturally competitive, it rapidly evolves into full on rivals! Untilā¦over time. They become reluctant friends. And suddenly class-78 has the worldās scariest power couple. Ā
BUT EGG! You may be screaming at me, WHERE IS NAEGI IN ALL THIS?? Well you see, as the shsl lucky student and self proclaimed Just Some Guy, when he quickly fell head over heels for the power couple, he instantly assumed both were waaaay out of his league. I mean, who wouldn't? Togami practically refused to give ANYONE the time of day, and Kirigiri is one of the most closed off people on the PLANET. And while he does make friends with them during the rivalry era of their relationship, he resigns himself to pining for both from the sidelines
LITTLE DOES HE FUCKING KNOW THOUGH. Kirigiri and Togami are definitely happy together, but their relationship as it is feels like it's... Missing something. After about a week of awkward tension, they both admit to having a crush on Naegi. With both of them on the same page, they make it their mission to confess to Naegi, and get him to join the polycule!
So yeah it's a lot of fluff from both Kirigiri and Togami, Very Obviously Flirting and Naegi pulling the classic āOk But Did They Mean It As A Friendā that slowly gets more and more intense.
Like. Picture this. A fancy candlelight dinner, the three of them at an expensive Michelin star restaurant, Kirigiri and Togami both got Naegi flowers, afterwards they went on a walk through a local park and watched the sunset with just the three of them.
Naegi still didn't get the hint.
After almost two years of flirting with Naegi being (somewhat willfully) oblivious, they decide to bite the bullet and just tell him. The dynamic duo write Naegi an adorable love letter, laying all their feelings out in the open, but the day they give it to him, just happened to be the day that class-78 was barricaded inside Hopeās Peak.
He was going to read it in his room when he was called down for the memory wipe, and it just happened to fall out of his pocket as he was walking out.
But fear not! This story isn't over yet! The polycule is real and they do love each other!
Beginning the game, Naegi can't help but feel. Weird. Whenever he's around Togami and Kirigiri. His head feels light and his chest gets all fluttery and he stumbles over his words a bit more than usual.
While looking through one of the classrooms on the second floor, after the first trial, he finds. A letter? Its torn and damaged but when he opens it, the handwriting feels oddly familiar? Names have been scratched out but he can't help but feel incredibly hot in the face when he reads it. He doesn't know why, but seeing this gives him a boost of confidence! While Monokuma shows up to rain on his parade and take the letter, it doesn't work and he uses this confidence to approach Kirigiri. They have a heart to heart and both admit to feeling the warm fuzzies around each other for an unknown reason. Theyāve known each other for what, half a week? Kirigiri can't help but be intrigued so they decide to hang out more, this leading the two into a soft and fluffy relationship.
As trial two comes and goes, they both come to a startling yet all to familiar realization. They ALSO get the warm and fuzzies around Togami. That bastard. While making sure to do so outside of the earshot of a certain shsl Murderer, they both approach Togami, who (begrudgingly) admits to feeling the same. While it starts out a bit rocky, the three form a solid and loving polycule.
AND THEN CHAPTER 5 HAPPENS. I could talk about chapter 5 for a million years. Honestly. The angst potential is so so so so so so so strong. Togami doesn't want to believe that heās been tricked by the two people he promised himself heās make it out alive with, Naegi refuses to believe that Kirigiri would kill anyone but also a dead body doesn't just appear out of nowhere, and Kirigiri is just TRYING TO SURVIVE.
Pov you are Asahina, Scissor System, Yasuhiro, and Junko and you are witnessing a brutal divorce. The fire is real.
After Naegiās execution, Togami is a MESS, Kirigiri completely shuts herself off, her one priority being getting Naegi the fuck outta the trash and making up with her short boyfriend. Once the sunshine boy himself is back, tall boyfriend has grown some bad abandonment issues and is beginning his journey as the Super High School Level Mother Hen, so as heās lecturingĀ treating Naegiās for his injuries from almost being executed, Naegi gets them all to kiss (literally) and make up. Things aren't perfect, but they're on the same page.
And then trial 6 happens, and they win the killing game. Things seem scary, but they know that whatever they face out there, theyāll have each other.
It doesn't take long for the future foundation to find them, the small group of kids like scared animals being thrust into a world they no longer remember. Naegamigiri refuse to let go of each other, even when the FFās medic team try to give them a check up to make sure they weren't seriously injured (which in Naegiās case, led to Kirigiri and Togami yelling at the medic team that tried to shove Naegi onto a gurney and deeper into the hospital wing without them.
Things are tense and scary and they are tired but no matter what they have hope. The world is big and scary and completely foreign to them but no matter what, they have each other, and they have hope for the future.
FLASH FORWARD! The three are official members of the Future Foundation, and have been working on their little pet project involving The Remnants of Despair. After a lot of long talks, they agreed that they wouldn't get married until the tragedy was completely over, then where they would all leave the future foundation to pursue their ambitions and live a happy life together. This agreement, however, does not extend to children. This quickly becomes very relevant when through a series of vaguely ambiguous events, they ended up with little Shuichi Last-Name-Pending! So things get a smidge more stressful. The middle of the apocalypse is the perfect time for a kid. I have no idea what you'reĀ talking about.
Then UDG happens. And the stress. Rises. To put it lightly. Almost losing Togami definitely shifted perspective for the power trio. Kirigiri and Naegi were terrified of the thought of not only losing their partner, but Shuichi having to grow up without one of his parents. Togami got progressively more mother hen, despite being the one who almost died.
On the happier side, Komaru was very happy to find out she was an aunt! Once the tragedy is over, she is going to spoil the ever loving shit out of him. Iām sorry sir, but my nephew asked for no fucking pickles!
Things get kinda vague for me after this. Sdr2 happens, with Naegamigiri once again almost dying as you do. Shuichi gains a surprise new uncle, he also gets babysat by Asahina, and once naegamigiri get back I remember that I haven't finished the dr3 anime.
Not 100% sure if Iām gonna keep the dr3 killing game who knows. Maybe things stay cute and fluffy and nothing huge happens for naegamigiri until the tragedy is officially over and Togami and Kirigiri leave the future foundation to pursue their passions (FF wont let Naegi leave, sadly, he did get to change his job to a stay at home one tho, mans basically does paperwork on a laptop all day and sometimes has to go on long business trips to speak to people all over the world to help restore hope and stuff)
One important detail: The HPA survivors are not involved in the resurrection of hope's peak. It's something that's bugged me for a while and it just. It doesn't sit right with me.
A long time later, Shuichi and his friends attend Hopes Peak (a certain gremlin has to lie to their dad to get there due to Bad Blood Tee Em but it's fiiiine they're all fiiiiiine) where shit hits the fan, and Iām not gonna reveal that until I finish v3 so for now, thatās it! Get out of my house! Come back later! Youāve had your food for the day!

Sacrificial Heifer
Bull Hybrids x Cow Hybrid!Reader
Commissioned by: @yuriohoe04
WC: 1k
A/N: Only 2 more slots for my commissions rn! Make sure to get them while you can. Once my comms are closed I wonāt be opening them again until all my comms are finished ^^
Warnings: dubcon, breeding, lactation, pregnancy, gangbang
š„ š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„š„
It had been a week since the farmer announced that you and your barn mates were ready to be bred for the first time.
At first, the lot of you were excited, some even ovulating and ready to breed. One of your friends had her tail lifted up, and it swayed softly as she sighed.
āCanāt you imagine it, being bred by a handsome bull? Do you think theyād want to settle and become mates?ā
You rolled your eyes, swatting her thigh with your tail. āNot likely. Most bulls are just looking for a heifer to breed and toss aside for the next one. Youāll be lucky if they give you more than a few minutes of your time.ā
An older cow had warned you many times that bulls liked to play with young heifersā hearts, and that if you wanted to live a peaceful life on the farm, then youād just breed and go about your day.
Thatās what you told yourself out of fear of getting your heart brokenā¦ until the day finally came to breed.
All the other heifers were filling themselves up, brushing out their hair and tidying themselves up. The pheromones wafting through the barn were thick, almost stifling.
This all changed when the bulls walked in. They were big, bulky, and honestly? Terrifying.
They walked in with confidence, eyeing the new heifers with keen, sharp eyes that told you they were more than experienced when it came to breeding.
āAlright, whoās first?ā
All the heifers shivered at the authoritative tone of voice. They had never been spoken to in such a way. The farmers theyāve had in the past had always been gentle, giving their bottoms hearty slaps as they herded them into the barn.
These bulls didnāt look like they even knew what the word gentle meant. They knew how to work with an inexperienced heifer, how to breed them into submission and stuff them full of cum.
You looked on with a mix of nervousness and curiosity. The bulls were definitely handsome, and despite their rough way of speaking, the way they tried their best to look a bit smaller told you that maybe they werenāt as bad as you had been told.
Before you could retreat to observe them from the back of the stall, you were shoved out into an open space, landing in the arms of one of the bulls.
āA volunteer. Cute one too.ā
You yelped as your ass was groped, the bull squeezing it lightly before inspecting your face. āLittle heifer, no need to be nervous. Gonna put a calf in you, alright?ā
āQuite small, aināt she?ā
Another bull approached you from behind, lifting up your tail to get a better look at your fat ass. āPerfectly plump too. Got them child bearing hipsā¦ mmmā¦ā
The feeling of a cock rubbing against your panties made your body freeze up. They both cooed at you, already able to sense your pheromones spiking. āSomeoneās begging to be fucked silly, huh?ā
One of the bulls traced circles over your clothed clit, laughing as you blubbered our half hearted pleas for them to let you go. āHush, heifer. Youāre soaking my hand, gotta breed that fat cunt of yours.ā
Before long you were being hoisted up, a big fat cock pushing against your pussy. It was huge, and you were sure it would tear your body in two!
āSure this little thing can take it?ā another bull asked, this one playing with your clit as the other two bulls prepped your hole. āSmallest heifer in the herd Iāve seen so farā¦ā
āSheāll take it.ā
And with that, he rutted into you, stretching your fat pussy out as he bounced you on his cock. It was painful at first, tears prickling in the corners of your eyes, but your body was built for this. You were made to be bred by bulls, to get pregnant and produce milk and calves.
You felt your pussy gush as he fucked into you, biting into your shoulder. āThatās it, baby. Cream on my cock, lemme hear you cry out for me.ā
You were passed around by the bulls, feeling so full and happy. As you were bent over and groped by another bull, you let out the prettiest of moans.
āGod, thatās it, thatās a good heifer. Take my load, fuckā¦ā
A bull took one of your nipples into his mouth, suckling as another mounted and bred you thoroughly. Before you were a virgin, and now you were being fucked by so many different cocks that you could barely think.
They rolled you onto your tummy, lifting your ass into the air and eating the cum out of your pussy, wanting to give you a nice and fresh creampie and hoping theirās would be the load to impregnate your fertile womb.
All the other heiferās watched in awe and jealousy as the bulls kept their attention on you, unable to spare a second glance to the others. You were so cute, a small, chubby little heifer that was perfect for beating calves. How the hell were they supposed to breed anyone else when you were bouncing on their cocks?
By the end of the breeding session, your belly was distended, stuffed full of cum. None of the other heifers were bred because the bulls were way too busy doting on you after they all got a turn.
Now, as your belly began to swell with a calf and your tits got heavy and full, the bulls couldnāt help but cum all over and in you. Your pretty mouth and pussy was always keeping someoneās cock nice and warm.
Drinking milk from your fat and heavy tits was the best part of their day. They had to test your milk to make sure it was high qualityā¦ and they also just wanted to suck on your nipples.
After all, you were their perfect little breeding cow. None of the other heifers compared to you, none as sweet and soft and pretty. If anyone had a problem, they could take it up with the bulls.
You sat on your bed, being fed strawberries as your belly was massaged.
Maybe that older cow was wrong, because these bulls adored you with their entire heartā¦ and you were excited to be thoroughly bred again once you gave birth.
You were a cow hybrid after all, and needed to produce lots of milk and calves. Being a breeding cow was your jobā¦
And you were damn good at it.
āāāāāā

Arthur gripped your hips, he suggested this position, not really suggested. He mostly had lifted you off him the second you had clenched around him, he took advantage of your orgasm to reposition you. His hand held your hips, keeping you up. He gave the curve of you ass an affectionate pat. "You're alright.." His voice was soft, the roughness of it soothing your nerves as your thighs trembled. "Arthur.. please." You weren't even sure if you wanted a break or more, the please seemed to go either way. "You okay?" He mumbled, that rough hand that was always gentle with you smoothed up your spine to the nape of your neck as he leaned over to kiss your shoulder. You panted as you nodded, soft hairs stuck to your forehead. "Want more?" It took you a second to process what he was asking and before you even processed what you were doing, there was a faint nod. He smiled against your skin, "Atta girl.." Arthur had never ending praise for you. For even the simplest of things. A good job for eating dinner or waking up in the morning. Any act of living earned praised, you were his world. His girl. His everything. During these tumultuous times, he found solace in the tiny hotel room he was able to steal you away in. He was able to pretend it was all different. Maybe you two had a home or at least the gang wasn't falling apart.. he snapped out of it as he leaned back, bringing your hips up again.
He eased into you, a breathless gasp followed by a higher pitch moan left your throat. He kept your back arched with one big hand pressed between your shoulders as his other gripped your hip. His blunt nails biting at your skin, leaving little crescents. He wasn't being particularly gentle but nonetheless paused to catch his breath. Your velvet walls were clenching around him, almost painfully tight and too hot. He let out a throaty groan, it came from up in his chest. Almost a breathless noise. Arthur threw his head back, his fingers drumming on your back lightly. He huffed, pulling his hips back, he could feel how you suctioned around him, so he didn't pull out completely. He didn't was to lose that. He snapped his hips, grinning at your breath hitching, nice and loud. You had abused your pussy riding him, until she was puffy and soaked. He offered occasional help, but he mostly thrusted upwards to surprise you when he felt you getting close. He liked watching you do all the work, so it was time to return the favor. Each time he pulled out and rolled his hips forward, they got faster and stronger. He leaned over you, slowly pressing his chest to your back. It was strong and warm, damp with sweat and his hair soft. His hand flew to the headboard, caging you between one arm next to your head and his firm bicep. Built like a piece of sinewy lumber, strong and unmoving, he had you trapped. The noises coming from your dripping cunt were filthy. How could you be soaked for him? A tough, gritty man. A killer. An outlaw. A bad, bad, bad-
"Arthur..!" The way you squeaked his name caught his attention, he could feel your walls around him, shit, your poor pussy never caught a break. He could feel you clenching and writhing and your nails dug into his thick wrist. But he didn't let up, even when you were pushed forward by the sheer force of his thrusts. "Don't- run from me." He gritted out, teeth clenched, his head pressed to the back of yours. His arm shifted, his forearm pressed to the front of your shoulder, keeping you from jolting forward. You were ruining the sheets, his thighs were sticky and slick with you, his dick coated in your cream, his hairs frothy. He wasn't even attempting to quiet himself now. "God.. damn it." Your legs gave out without his hand holding you up, you pressed flat on your stomach, feeling the sheets sticking to your wet skin, beads of sweat sliding down the column of your neck.
"Look'atchu.. You're a good girl.." His praises deep and guttural, he pressed you further into the mattress. Your moans had progressed into soft screams, your face half hidden in your pillow, hair messed. His hand that wasn't white knuckling the headboard slid between the mattress and you, finding your clit. Poor thing was twitching at just the slightest touch from him. "There ya go.. Takin' me and lookin' so pretty.." His lips pressed to the crown of your skull, your hair tickling his nose. With just a few soft circle from his finger, he ripped another orgasm out of you, you soaked his cock while he pounded you into the mattress. You were a sobbing mess, choking on your words. A mix of please, Arthur, I can't do it and don't stop, harder, deeper. He liked fucking the brains right out if your pretty head. Feeling your cunt drenched him and constrict around him so perfectly, like your pussy was made to take his thick cock and keeping it nice and tight and warm, seated so deep within you, made his stomach taught. His own legs trembled at the way his release hit him like a damn freight train.
"Fuck-" he had no words, nothing to describe how it felt, rutting his seed deeper in you with his dick twitching. He collapsed, mind empty, body numb, nearly crushing you and keeping the wind knocked from your lungs. Your hand patted his head. "Good job.. I can't breathe." Arthur's laugh was soft, his eyes closed. "Sorry, sweetheart."

i'll be home for christmas | part one
Pairing: Joel Miller x f!reader
Summary: Having just caught your fiancƩ cheating on you, you decide to come back home from the big city to Austin for the month of December to try to figure out your next step. You had no idea you would be getting more than you bargained for with the handsome single dad who built your parents' house.

WC: 9.1K
A/N: this is my take on a cheesy, fluffy, soft, smutty, Joel Miller Hallmark Christmas movie. It's just sweet and silly and makes me smile, and I hope it does the same for you. I also wrote this in less than 2 days and didn't really edit it much, so sorry in advance if there's any errors.
Found the pic on Twitter but can't remember the source, if you know please send me a message and i will credit them
Series Masterlist
It was the second week of December as you stood inside the airport in Austin, Texas, waiting for your luggage to emerge on the conveyor belt. You thought by coming home early, you would have avoided the holiday traffic, but you were wrong. All around you, people squealed with excitement and embraced, dragging their worn out luggage behind them as they made their way out of the bustling airport. You tried to keep the scowl from your face as you watched, but it was next to impossible, so you wrapped your Burberry scarf around your neck instead, hoping to hide your displeasure.
This was not the plan you had for Christmas. You should be in New York in a high-rise apartment in front of a roaring fireplace with a glass of wine and your fiancƩ - ex-fiancƩ - not back in Austin with your parents, who begged you to come visit for the holidays after you told them the news.
Coming home to visit wasn't your favorite thing, but you felt guilty having avoided the holidays with your family for so many years, and you would have ended up all alone in the city anyway. So you caved, using up all the PTO you saved for the wedding, and took the rest of the year off from work.
Your designer luggage stood out like a sore thumb when it tumbled down the conveyor belt. You winced after watching the impact and snatched it up quickly. Glancing around, you saw a beacon in the storm: a familiar green, glowing sign in the distance - Starbucks. The line was long, but your flight was early, so you waited and got a latte, hoping it would lift your spirits a bit before you had to face your parents.
You tapped the side of your coffee cup anxiously as you rode the escalator down to the first floor, scanning the crowd for your mom and dad. There were a few people holding up signs with names on them, and when you saw the sign that said "Bucket" on it, you cringed.
Your dad's tall, round frame came into view when the people in front of him dispersed. He looked almost exactly the same, except a little greyer. Still sporting a shockingly full head of hair and his signature thick mustache, he grinned and pulled you into a warm hug.
"Really, Dad? 'Bucket'?"
"Well, that's what we call you, ain't it?" he said with a smile. You rolled your eyes and tried to be annoyed, but you had to admit that you were happy to see him.
"Where's Mom?" you asked.
"She's waitin' in the car, didn't wanna pay for parking so we're in a pick up zone, let's hustle," he said, wrapping his arm around you as he led you outside. "How was the flight?"
"Long," you said, then gasped when the cold air hit you. "Wow, I didn't think it would be this cold yet."
"It's been a cold one so far this year," he nodded, directing you to the left where you could see your mom smiling and waving from the passenger seat of their white SUV. You waved back and grinned. Maybe coming home wasn't such a bad idea, after all.
"Hiya, Bucky!" your mom said happily, leaning out of the window to give you a half hug while your dad loaded up your belongings in the back.
"Hey, Mom," you replied. "I like your sweater."
She was wearing one of her tacky Christmas sweaters that she wore every year - unironically. It amazed you how some things never change.
You climbed into the back seat as your dad carefully exited the parking spot and joined the line of cars that were slowly inching towards the main road.
"We're so glad you decided to come home this year, you can finally see the new house!" your mom said excitedly. They had built a brand new house, and the way she provided updates and pictures to you over the phone for the past year, you felt like you had already seen it.
"Yeah, can't wait," you said, staring out the window.
"Hope you don't mind, but we're throwin' a party tomorrow night," your dad said, glancing at you in the review mirror. "Wanted to have our friends over to see the place and have an early holiday party. They'll be so happy to see you, it's been so long since you've been home, Buck."
You had been hoping to spend most of the next three weeks in bed moping and scrolling on your phone. The thought of a party and seeing all those people looking at you with pity made your stomach turn. Your mom must have sensed your discomfort.
"It's alright, honey. They won't say anything," she said softly, and you squeezed your eyes shut.
"Okay," you replied, your voice pained as you opened your eyes to stare at the passing traffic on the thruway.
You'll make an appearance for an hour, and then try to sneak back upstairs until the party ends, already fabricating a headache to blame it on.
The house your parents built was impressive, even you had to admit. It was a two story colonial with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The open floor plan was stunning as you made your way from room to room. The first floor alone had a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, a kitchen with an attached dining room, and a separate family room off the back. There was even a small office by the front door that you missed the first time around, and a pantry as big as your closet back home.
You cringed at the thought, reminding yourself that it was no longer your home. That was part of the problem. You had moved in with Will, and when you discovered he had been cheating on you, you crashed at your friend Melanie's place. When you tearfully told your parents the news a few days later, they asked you to come home. Just for the holidays, your mom had said. Just to give you time to figure out your next move.
"This is beautiful, Mom," you said honestly, admiring the fine details on the cabinets.
"Thank you, sweetie. Took a long time, but Joel built it just right for us," she said, beaming.
"Oh, the contractor, right?" you replied, distracted now by the backsplash above the counters.
"He's such a sweet man, he was so patient with us when we changed our minds a million times over every little thing."
"Well, tell him he did a great job," you murmured, opening and shutting different drawers.
"You can tell him yourself, he'll be at the party tomorrow," your dad said, opening the fridge to scrounge for some snacks.
"You invited your contractor to your holiday party?" you asked in disbelief.
"Sure we did. We either saw him or spoke to him almost every single day for a year. He's a good man."
"Okay," you said slowly, still finding it a bit strange, but reminding yourself that things worked a little differently in the south.
"Bucket!" you heard your sister call from the front of the house. A smile plastered across your face instantly as you rushed to the door, both of you squealing as you wrapped your arms around each other and jumped in a circle, unable to contain your excitement.
"Cassie!" you said, pulling back to look at her, brushing her sleek, dark brown hair over her shoulder. "You look fantastic!"
"Ugh, I feel like shit," she said, and you laughed, glancing down at her barely swollen belly.
"How far along are you again?" you asked.
"Twenty weeks, but I'm ready for this to be over! I'm so tired all the time, it sucks," she said, flopping down on the couch in the living room after she gave your parents quick hugs.
"Where's Josh?" your mom asked, referring to your brother in law.
"He's still working, he'll be by later," Cassie said, waving her hand. "Gives us a chance to catch up," she added with a wink.
"You girls do that, we need to go to the store for tomorrow night. Do you need anything?" your mom asked, and you shook your head, eager for them to leave so you could be alone with your sister.
"Tell me everything," Cassie said the moment the door clicked shut.
If it were anyone else, you wouldn't have been in the mood to talk about the mess that was currently your life, but you've always been able to talk about anything with your sister. You trusted each other implicitly and there was no judgement, no matter if you had cheated on a test or gotten drunk during prom, you told each other everything.
So you did. You told her how for months, you felt like something was off with Will. How he would stay out late and say it was for work, but none of his work friends ever posted about going anywhere those nights on social media. He grew more distant and you tried to ignore your paranoia, but when he collapsed into bed one night, too out of it to wash up, and you saw the lipstick on his neck the next morning, you lost it. He hardly even tried to explain himself, barely even attempted to lie, and you began to think maybe he wanted to get caught. Maybe he wanted you to do the dirty work and end things so he didn't have to. Fucking coward.
"What a piece of shit. I never liked him," Cassie said when you were finished. "He acted like he was so much better than everyone when he was here, do you remember the comments he made about the wine mom had? It was so fucking rude."
"Yeah, I know," you agreed.
"So why were you even with him?"
"We had been together since college, Cas," you said, exasperated. "I knew him before he was like that. He used to be sweet and fun. Then he got that finance job and met all those assholes and he became just like them."
"Well, I'm just glad you didn't end up married before finding out what he's really like," she said, shifting her weight on the couch with her hand cupping her small stomach. "That would have been a huge mess."
"It's still a huge mess, I have no where to live now, and I can only couch surf for so long," you said, burying your face in your hands.
"You'll figure it out, Buck. I'll help you look for places online while you're here. Maybe set up some appointments so you can tour them when you get back."
"Thanks," you said, giving her a weak smile. "That would actually be great."
"Now, on to more important things," your sister said, slapping her palms against her knees to stand.
"Baby names?" you asked.
"No! Let's figure out what you'll wear to the party tomorrow," she said, wiggling her eyebrows. "I wanna look through all your fancy designer clothes."
You giggled and stood to join her.
"Fine, but I'm still dropping baby names while you look," you replied.
After spending a majority of the next day helping your parents decorate and prepare food for the party, you finally were able to excuse yourself to shower and get ready. Cassie had picked out a Ralph Lauren lace cocktail dress that Will had bought for your birthday last year. You slipped it on, running your hands over the fabric as you adjusted the dress in the mirror. Just because he bought it didn't mean you couldn't wear it again. You snatched the glass of wine from your dresser and took a sip, trying to push the thought of him from your head as you made your way downstairs.
Cassie and Josh were already in the kitchen, munching on appetizers and chatting with your parents. Cassie let out a low whistle when you entered the room. You waved her off and gave Josh a big hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Good to see you," you told him with a smile. "All ready for the baby?"
"Getting there," Josh replied, wrapping an arm around Cassie's waist. You tried to ignore the ugly, jealous pit in your stomach as he told you how the nursery was coming along. You wasted so many years of your life on Will. Your sister was already married and starting a family, and here you were, basically homeless and starting over. Pathetic.
Family friends slowly began to trickle into the house, luckily being whisked away by your parents to give them a tour after you meekly greeted them and hid back in the kitchen. As more and more people arrived, you began to wonder how your parents kept so many close friends when you barely had a handful back in New York.
A few kids raced by you in the kitchen as you made your way to the bar to refill your wine. Even though it was loud, you could still hear your dad's booming voice as he regaled a friend with a fishing story. You wandered around a bit, trying to find Cassie and Josh so you didn't look out of place, but stopped dead in your tracks when you saw them chatting with Mr. Tanner and his son, Troy, backing away before they could see you. Troy used to have the biggest crush on you when you were kids. If he found out you were single, you wouldn't be able to shake him all night.
You eventually found yourself alone, back in front of the snacks. You picked at the chips on your plate, not really interested in eating but hoping to avoid any awkward conversations, so you kept your eyes down, scrolling mindlessly on your phone. Apparently, it wasn't good enough because you felt someone sidle up next to you.
"Those any good?" a deep, unfamiliar drawl spoke from your side. You looked up to find the softest pair of brown eyes you've ever seen on a man. Blinking, you took a moment as your gaze raked over his patchy beard and the dark, tousled curls on his head. They looked so soft, you had to resist the urge to reach out and touch them. What was wrong with you?
"Huh?" you managed to squeak out after you realized you had waited too long to reply. Idiot.
"The, uh, chips," he said, pointing at your plate before rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh!" you said, looking at your plate, completely forgetting you even had it. "Yeah, they're alright."
He nodded and glanced around the room, unsure of what to say next. He cleared his throat and tried again.
"How do you know Paul and Martha?"
Distracted, you watched as he crossed his arms over his broad chest, stretching the fabric of his red flannel over his shoulders, pulling the material taught. You had to remind yourself to pay attention and stop gawking at this man like he was a piece of meat. Jesus, maybe you should stop drinking.
"They're my parents," you said after a moment, your eyes flicking across the room, finding them with a group of their friends with your dad's arm wrapped around your mom's shoulder as she giggled and gazed up at him adoringly.
"Oh, you're Cassie," the man said, his eyes dropping from your face to your stomach, and you swore you saw a glimmer of disappointment.
"No!" you said quickly, your hand subconsciously resting on your midsection. "That's my sister, I'm their other daughter." You told him your name and briefly explained you lived in New York and were just visiting for the holidays.
"They must be real happy, havin' you home for so long," he replied, and you shrugged.
"Yeah, it's been a while since I've come home for a visit. I was feeling pretty bad about that," you said, choosing to leave out the biggest reason you were there. This stranger didn't need to be burdened with your love life drama. "Besides, they were so excited to show off the new house," you continued, waving your arm around the room.
"Took us long enough, but it finally came together," he replied with a smile.
"Oh! You must be Joel," you said, realization finally dawning on you.
"Yeah, sorry," he said, shaking his head and stretching out his arm. "That was rude of me, don't know what I was thinkin'." His cheeks flushed with embarrassment as you shook his hand.
"My parents always have such wonderful things to say about you. The house is beautiful, I was blown away when I first saw it," you told him. "I especially love the little details on the cabinets."
"Thanks," he said with a soft smile, averting his gaze to look at the cabinet behind you. "I actually did that myself. It's kind of a hobby of mine. Closest to art I'll ever get, I guess."
"I don't think it's just 'close' to art, I think it is art. It's stunning," you told him, running your fingertips over the intricate floral design. "You're very talented."
"Well, thank you," he said sheepishly, rubbing his beard to hide his smile. You could see the blush creeping up his neck and you bit your lip with a grin, turning your head to try to give him a moment. Were you making him nervous? He was painfully good looking, could this guy actually be into you? Were you even interested? The break up was still so fresh and it had been so long since you've dated anyone besides Will, you hadn't even considered it yet.
"So, how long have you worked in construction?" you asked after a minute, discarding your plate on the counter to give him your full attention.
"Oh, my whole life. Me and my brother started the business when we were in our twenties. Only thing we were any good at, and luckily it pays the bills," he told you with a shrug, shoving his hands deep into his pockets. "What do you-"
Joel's question was cut off by a young girl with curly brown hair in a red velvet dress bouncing up to him.
"Dad! Can Uncle Tommy take me outside so we can look at the pool?" she asked. Dad? You looked down when he pulled his hands out of his pockets, palming one of the girl's shoulders to quiet her down, and noticed the gold wedding band. Of fucking course.
"The pool? Sarah, it's freezin' out," Joel said, and she grinned.
"I'm not going in, Dad, I just wanna see," she said, rolling her eyes. She glanced over, noticing you for the first time, and smiled. "I really like your dress," she said.
"Thank you," you said, running your hand down the fabric. "I like yours, too."
"Uh, yeah, that's fine. Just make sure Uncle Tommy sticks with you, alright?" Joel relented, and she clapped her hands gleefully before running off again.
"She's cute, how old is she?" you asked him, looking around the room to see if Sarah had run back to a woman who could be Joel's wife.
"She's sixteen," he said, eyeing you carefully. He hadn't thought this far ahead and hoped he wasn't scaring you off.
You turned to him, startled, having guessed she was younger.
"You must have had her young," you said, the words slipping out before you could catch them. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean that like it sounded-"
"No, it's alright," he said with a chuckle. "I did. I'm forty."
You nodded and took a sip from your glass, letting your eyes drift away, rethinking your conversation. Maybe you misread him and he was just being friendly. There was no way he would be flirting with you at a party with his kid right there. But then he cleared his throat, drawing your attention back to him.
"Listen, I hope I'm not bein' too forward, but are you here with anyone?"
You raised your eyebrows at him over your glass. There was no misreading that. Blinking rapidly, you tried to formulate a reply that wouldn't cause a scene. Was he seriously hitting on you with a ring on his finger? You put your glass down on the counter and opened your mouth to reply when your sister's voice interrupted you.
"Bucket! Come here, you remember Troy, right?"
You cringed, at both the nickname and the person in question, before slowly turning your body towards her and forcing a fake smile.
"Of course. How are you?" you said with a hug.
"Doing great, just got a new job with a law firm downtown," Troy said, rubbing his sweaty palms on his jeans and shifting his weight nervously. He began to ramble about his new job as your sister introduced herself to Joel behind you. You resisted the urge to strangle her, reminding yourself she was carrying your baby niece or nephew and that you'll have to wait until after she gave birth to kill her. She knew you couldn't stand Troy, but she probably couldn't get rid of him, either.
You stood there, draining your wine glass while he prattled on for the next twenty minutes. By the time Troy's dad walked over and ushered him away, Joel was nowhere to be found.
Probably for the best, anyway. You were getting really sick and tired of only attracting unfaithful men.
You hadn't considered how annoying it would be to have your parents hovering around you all the time, worried that you were slipping into a depression and trying to get you to join them on activities outside the house. After you felt forced to go sledding with them the day before, you decided to make yourself scarce today, which is why you found yourself at the mall in downtown Austin browsing for a Christmas gift for your future niece or nephew.
As you were looking through a storefront window, you felt your phone buzz in your pocket. Taking it out, you saw a text from a friend back home.
Sydney: You'll never guess who i just bumped into
You were typing out your response, chin tucked into your chest, when you felt someone knock into you. Startled, you looked up only to lock eyes with Joel the contractor.
"Oh!" you managed to stammer out. His deep brown eyes lit up and a warm smile spread across his face when he looked up and recognized you.
"Sorry, wasn't payin' attention," he said. "How, uh, how are you?"
"Good," you said, nodding and clutching your phone in your hand. "You?"
"Good. Was actually just thinkin' about you," he admitted, looking down and shifting the bag he was carrying from one hand to the other. "Never got to say goodbye to you the other night."
"Yeah, it was pretty crowded. I didn't realize my parents were so popular," you joked. "Is Sarah with you?"
"No, she's in school," he replied, and you bumped the heel of your hand against your forehead, rolling your eyes. Of course she was, it's the middle of the day.
"Duh," you said quietly, finding it hard to hold his gaze without getting butterflies, so you looked away.
"So, uh, I hope this doesn't sound creepy, but I asked your sister if you were seein' anyone the other night," he began, and you felt your face instantly heat up. Why didn't Cassie warn you?? "-was wonderin' if I could get your number."
"Huh?" you asked, your eyes widening as you tried to control your breathing. You glanced down at his hand again when he looked away and saw he was definitely wearing a ring.
"Thought we could go out sometime? If you're interested?" he asked, his own nerves wreaking havoc as he shifted his weight and chewed on the inside of his cheek, praying his face wasn't as red as it felt.
"Are you serious?" you asked him, narrowing your eyes. The audacity of some men!
"'Course I'm serious," he said with a nervous smile. "Thought we hit it off the other night-"
"Joel, listen. I'm not going to say what I'm really thinking for the sake of my parents and everything you did for them, but I am not interested in dating married men," you said with a scowl. He frowned, giving you a confused look before you turned on your heel and stormed away, joining the crowd of Christmas shoppers bustling by.
He looked down at his hand, making a tight fist before swiveling his head around, trying to locate you in the crowd before he lost you.
"Hey, wait!" he called out, pushing past clusters of people as he jogged to try and keep up with you. He called out your name as he got closer. You stopped suddenly but didn't turn around, causing surprised shoppers to have to redirect at the last minute to avoid running into you.
"Hey, I'm sorry-"
"You should apologize to your wife!" you said loudly, causing a few people to turn their heads in your direction as they walked past. Joel looked around nervously.
"I'm not married," he clarified quietly. You looked down at his hand again and he flexed his fingers.
"Can we get a coffee or somethin'? And I'll explain," he begged, his chest rising and falling rapidly with each second that passed as you considered your answer. "Please."
"Fine," you agreed, and his face relaxed once again.
You sat down at a coffee shop within Barnes and Noble as Joel ordered you both something to drink. As you watched him at the counter, you admired his long legs and broad shoulders underneath his brown coat and wondered what possible excuse he was going to come up with.
Oh my god, what if she died?
You rubbed your eyes, hoping you didn't just insult a widower in the middle of a crowded mall.
Joel joined you at the table and set your coffee down in front of you with a smile.
"Thank you," you said softly, fiddling with the cup and avoiding his eyes as he shrugged his coat off, revealing a navy blue V-neck sweater underneath. Your eyes drifted to the small patch of bare chest that was exposed and your stomach clenched. Swallowing hard, you forced yourself to meet his gaze, but he was staring down at his ring finger.
"I'm not married anymore, just wanna make that crystal clear," he began, still staring at his ring.
"Okay," you said slowly, waiting for him to continue. He sighed.
"We've been divorced for a few years now," he said, finally looking at you. "It was... hard. Really hard. I, uh," he scratched his beard as he struggled to find the words. "I've had a tough time lettin' go. Thought for a while we might get back together, so I didn't take it off. Then I guess I just got so used to it, I never thought... I'm sorry, I sound like a mess," he said with a sad smile.
"It's alright, I think I understand," you told him, and he looked at you with renewed optimism, encouraged to continue.
"I never took it off because I never thought 'bout askin' anyone out til now," he said. "Didn't realize how that would come across, you just took me by surprise that night and I couldn't stop thinkin' 'bout you."
You blushed and looked down at your coffee, trying to hide your smile behind your cup, but he saw it and grinned.
"Are you still in love with her?" you asked him. You didn't want to get wrapped up in something that would end up hurting you in the end.
"No," he said firmly. "I mean, I'll always care for her. She gave me Sarah, how could I not? But I'm not in love with her anymore."
You nodded as you absorbed his words, glancing around the little coffee shop before dragging your eyes back to his. He was looking at you expectantly, waiting for you to ask anything else that would make you comfortable with accepting a date from him.
"Well, thank you for being honest with me, but I'm not sure I'm ready for a relationship just yet."
Joel tried to hide the disappointment in his face as he nodded in understanding. The first time in five years he asked someone out and he got shot down.
"It's not you," you clarified. "It's bad timing. I just got out of a really long term relationship. Well, I was actually engaged, and I caught him cheating," you explained with a wince, not expecting to bring this up today. "Probably why I was so sensitive about the wedding ring," you said with a half smirk. He nodded quietly and looked down at the ring on his hand, twisting the metal around with the pad of his thumb as you spoke.
"Sounds like we've both been through a tough time," he murmured, and you quietly agreed.
You sat in silence for a few minutes, sipping your coffees and trying to figure out how to end this awkward interaction without making things worse. You were going to lie about having plans so you could leave when he suddenly spoke up.
"No pressure, but, uh, what if we just went on one very casual date?" He looked at you with those soft, brown eyes and you felt your resolve crumbling. "Sounds like we could both use some practice. You're leavin' at the end of the month anyway. Could just be fun, help get us both back out there."
You paused, not expecting that. He had a good point. It's been so long since you've gone on a date with anyone, and it sounded like he was just as rusty. Besides, what else would you be doing with your time over the next three weeks?
"Okay," you agreed softly. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, parting his lips slightly as he straightened up in his chair.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah," you said with a grin. "Why not?"
Early the next morning, you heard your phone buzz on the nightstand next to your bed. With a groan, you cracked an eye open to look at the time, then reached for your phone.
"7:30? Who the hell..." you grumbled, squinting at the bright screen, your eyes widening when you saw Joel's name. You sat up in bed, fully awake now, and slid the notification over to open the text.
Joel Miller: Morning. Are you free tonight?
You grinned, flicking on your light so you could see better to respond, then you paused. Should you make him wait before replying? Would you look too desperate if you answered right away?
You shrugged, deciding to answer him. It was casual, you both knew it wouldn't go anywhere, so who cares how it looked?
You: Good morning, you're up early! And yes, what did you have in mind?
You chewed your thumb nail as you waited for his answer.
Joel Miller: This is nothing, I've been up since 5. For some reason, clients expect me to be at job sites early. How about ice skating?
You giggled and tapped out a reply.
You: I'd love to!
Joel Miller: Great - I'll pick you up at 7
Realizing you forgot to reply to Sydney the day before, you switched messages and shot her a quick answer before sliding back down under the covers to scroll on your phone.
You resisted the urge as long as you could - a whole fifteen minutes - before you typed Joel's name into Facebook. His name popped up with two mutual friends and you rolled your eyes. Of course your parents were friends with him. Clicking on his name, you scrolled down his page, tapping through photos of him and Sarah that looked out of date. He didn't seem like the type to update social media often, and his page reflected that hunch. He didn't have many pictures so it didn't take long until you scrolled all the way to the end, presumably his first photo from when he joined. It was a grainy picture of him with a huge smile and his arm slung around a woman with dark, curly hair, just like Sarah's.
She was pretty, you couldn't deny that, and you vaguely wondered why they broke up. He made it sound like he didn't want a divorce, and you figured he would have mentioned cheating since you brought it up.
You closed the app. If Joel wanted to tell you, he would.
Dragging yourself out of bed, you made your way downstairs on the hunt for coffee. Pouring yourself a cup from the machine, you burrowed into the couch, wrapping yourself in a blanket as you waited for your coffee to cool down and flipped through the various streaming services your parents subscribed to.
"Hey Buck, you're up early," your dad said as he descended the stairs and headed to the coffee.
"Hey, Dad," you said, taking a sip from your mug and wincing as you burned your tongue.
"What're you up to today? You wanna come to dinner with your mom and me?"
"Actually, I have a date," you told him, bracing for the reaction.
"Whoa-ho! Been here not even a week and you got yourself a date? Don't tell me... Troy?" he asked with a big grin, sitting down at the other end of the couch.
"Ew, no!" you said, scrunching your nose. "It's, um, Joel," you said quickly, taking another sip from your mug.
"Our contractor?" he asked incredulously.
"Yeah, we met at the party," you told him. "Then I ran into him at the mall."
"Ran into who at the mall?" you heard Cassie's voice from down the hall.
"When did you get here?" you asked as she rounded the corner and gazed at your coffee enviously.
"Just now. Who did you see at the mall?"
"Joel," you said, glaring at her. "Got something to tell me about that?"
"Oh, yeah," she said, wiggling her eyebrows. "He was asking about you at the party. I made sure to let him know you were single."
"Yeah, he told me, thanks for the heads up, by the way," you said. "We're going out tonight."
"I didn't realize he was single, I just assumed he was married because he's always got Sarah around," your dad said, beginning to zone out to the movie that was on the TV.
"He's single," was all you said, picking your phone back up.
"He's cute," Cassie said, and you blushed. "I'm glad you said yes, mom and dad already love him, so he'll fit right in."
"I don't even live here. It's a casual thing, we're just hanging out," you told her.
"Yeah, okay," she said, giving you a wink. You rolled your eyes and pinched her as you passed by.
"I'm going to shower, then maybe you can help me pick out something to wear," you told her over your shoulder, walking back upstairs.
Joel arrived at your parents' house promptly at 7, just as he promised. He pulled into the driveway, checking his hair in the review mirror quickly before sliding out of his truck and making his way up the porch. He couldn't remember the last time he felt this nervous as he glanced down a the green flannel he wore, praying he didn't miss a button or a stain. He was with his ex for so long that he could barely remember a time when he was nervous around her.
But with you, he felt the butterflies the moment he saw you at the party. You didn't notice him at first, but he saw you enter the living room and freeze in the doorway, your eyes locked on someone across the room before backing out the way you came, as if you were looking to avoid them. He couldn't catch who it was, having hardly known more than five people in the whole house, but he felt compelled to follow you. To see if you were maybe looking for a husband or boyfriend. But when he saw you alone in the kitchen, staring down at your phone, he couldn't stop himself from saying something to you.
Joel never did things like that. He always kept to himself, very quiet and reserved. He was content with his work during the day and hanging out with Sarah at night.
For the most part, he was happy. It was only at night when the loneliness crept up, when he tucked himself into his big, cold bed and tried his best to fall asleep as fast as he could, so he wouldn't lay there wishing someone who cared for him was just in the bathroom washing up.
Tommy had been encouraging him to get back out there, always offering to watch Sarah if he caught Joel looking a little too long at a waitress or a neighbor. Sarah was old enough to be on her own for a few hours, but he still asked Tommy to stop by, anyway. Maybe part of him wanted his brother to know that he was going on a date, if only so he would stop trying to set him up all the time with women he had no interest in.
Joel reached out to ring the doorbell, cringing when he noticed it was one of those camera doorbells. Paul must have installed it after the house was finished. He heard heavy footsteps on the other side of the door and held his breath, realizing he hadn't thought about your dad's reaction to your date.
Paul swung the door open, greeting Joel with a deep scowl as he leaned up against the doorframe.
"What's up, Joel?" he asked. Joel cleared his throat.
"Hey, Paul. I'm here to pick up your daughter," Joel replied, bracing himself. Paul just stared at him, breathing deeply as he looked Joel up and down. Joel wasn't a small man, but Paul had at least sixty pounds on him. He tended to have an intimidating look until you got to know him.
"Oh, yeah? For what?" Paul asked, clenching his jaw. Joel froze, wondering if there was a reason you didn't tell your parents about tonight, unsure what to say. Finally, Paul's face broke into a huge smile as he began to crack up, doubling over at the waist.
"I'm sorry, Joel, I had to," he wheezed, standing back up and clapping Joel on the shoulder. "Couldn't help myself. Come on in," he said, still laughing as he led Joel down the hall and towards the kitchen.
"Jesus, Paul, scared the shit outta me," Joel admitted, his heart racing as he rubbed his forehead.
"Beer?" Paul asked, and Joel shook his head.
"No thanks, I'm drivin'," he replied, and Paul raised his eyebrows with a nod.
"Good man, passed the first test," he said with a wink as he twisted open a beer for himself. "Hey, uh, in all seriousness, I just wanna talk with you before she comes down."
"Yeah, 'course," Joel replied, leaning up against the counter.
"I ain't sure what she's told you about the asshole she was with before, but he really hurt her. Now, I know it ain't got nothin' to do with you, what's in the past is in the past," he said. "But just keep that in mind, will you? I can't stand seein' my little girl hurt like that again."
Joel nodded solemnly, understanding completely.
"I ain't like that, I'll be respectful, I promise," Joel replied. "Besides, we both know she's goin' back to New York in a few weeks. We're just gettin' to know each other, is all."
"Yeah, she said the same thing to her sister earlier, but then she spent all damn day on the phone, pickin' out an outfit and gettin' herself ready," Paul said with a sigh. "I'm just sayin', be careful with her."
Joel felt a flutter in his chest and tried to hide his smile when he found out you had been thinking about him all day. He was glad he wasn't the only one.
"I hope you weren't waiting long," you told Joel as he backed out of your driveway.
"Not at all," he said with a smirk. "You're worth the wait. You look beautiful." He glanced down again at the light pink sweater with a small designer logo he was unfamiliar with in the corner.
You blushed and bit your lip, quietly thanking him and trying to hide your reaction behind your scarf, but he saw it. He always does.
Now that he knew you were looking forward to this date just as much as he was, he felt a little more confident.
"Did you have a good day?" he asked, giving you a sideways glance as he merged his truck into traffic.
"Yeah, did you?"
"It was alright," he said, slowing the truck down at a stop light. He turned to face you now. "Couldn't wait to see you, though."
You turned a darker shade of pink and he smiled, pleased to see that he could elicit that reaction from you, the same way you do to him.
"So, ice skating?" you said, trying to take the heat off of you. You looked at his hands on the steering wheel, noticing he made sure to take his ring off.
"Yeah," he said, pressing his foot on the gas as the light changed. "Thought you could teach me somethin'."
"Teach you? How do you know if I can even skate?" you asked teasingly.
"Just a hunch. Was I right?" he replied, his mouth turning up into a half smirk. You giggled and he felt his stomach tighten. He needed to hear that again.
"Yeah, you were right," you relented. He pulled his lower lip between his teeth and slapped the steering wheel in victory, making you giggle again, and his chest filled with warmth at the sound.
"Where's Sarah tonight?" you asked him as he pulled into a parking spot at the skating rink.
"My brother's watchin' her," he replied, disappointed that you got out of the truck so quickly. He had planned on opening the door for you.
"Does she like to ice skate?" you questioned as he led you inside to the counter to rent your skates.
"Oh, of course she does. But I usually sit it out and just watch her have fun," he said, picking up your rentals and heading over to a bench.
"You should have brought her, I wouldn't have minded."
"We don't have to talk 'bout her, you know," he said quicky, and your fingers froze over your laces.
"Why wouldn't we talk about her? She's your daughter," you asked slowly, straightening back up to look at him.
"No, I know. What I mean is, I know it ain't every woman's fantasy to go out with a single dad and all the baggage that comes with that. So, if you don't wanna talk about her, I get it," he said, casting his eyes down as he focused on tying his laces. You reached out a hand and gently placed it on top of his, immediately making him freeze at your touch.
"She's part of your life, so I want to hear about her. You shouldn't think like that, Joel. It's really not a dealbreaker for most women," you assured him, gently rubbing your thumb over his knuckles, his eyes glued to your hand as he listened. "And if it is, fuck 'em."
His eyes snapped up to yours now, then a slow smile spread across his face.
"Okay," he said softly, and you smiled, pulling your hand back, leaving him wanting more.
"Besides," you said, standing up on your skates as you made your way to the rink. "You have no idea what kind of fantasies I have."
You turned to give him a wink as you effortlessly stepped out onto the ice, holding out your hands encouragingly for him to follow. It was a miracle he was able to move his legs after that comment, but he managed just because he knew he would feel your warm hands on his again.
Joel was a quick study. He was nervous at first, you could tell that he didn't want to embarrass himself, but he did surprisingly good. Especially considering how crowded the ice rink was and how fast people were skating by. After about half an hour, he was able to skate - albeit, slowly - around the rink next to you without any assistance. Part of you wondered if he pretended to need more help than he really did just so it would make you feel good.
"So, anyway, that's basically what I do for work. It's pretty boring," you said with a sigh.
"Not boring. Marketing in New York City sounds like a dream," he replied.
"Yeah, except I work on all the behind the scenes stuff. It's not really as fun as it sounds," you admitted, not missing work in the slightest since you've been back in Texas.
"Well, d'you work with some fun people, at least?"
You paused, considering his question for a moment, before shaking your head with a dry laugh.
"Not really," you said, but he still tried to help you find a reason why you would put up with it.
"You were able to take off almost a whole month, that's pretty great. Not many places'll let you do that, can't be that bad," he offered, and you scoffed.
"It's the time I saved up for the wedding I was supposed to have," you told him sadly, and he groaned.
"I'm knockin' it outta the park tonight, ain't I?" he said, rubbing his face before almost losing his balance. You giggled and he couldn't stop the huge grin that plastered itself across his face.
"It's fine, you didn't know," you said, waving him off. And for the first time, you really didn't mind talking about it. Something about him made it easier.
"What'dya say we get some hot chocolate?" Joel asked, jutting his chin towards the vendor where you first came in.
"Yeah, that sounds great," you replied. Joel turned towards the exit without looking when a teenage boy, who was speed skating around the rink trying to impress a girl, smacked right into him, sending him flying backwards on the ice.
"Joel!" you exclaimed, rushing to his side. He groaned, rubbing the back of his head.
"Hey, why don't you watch it!" you yelled angrily at the teenager, who had managed to only stumble a bit upon impact.
"Sorry, man," the kid mumbled before taking off.
"I'm gonna kick his ass," you said, about to stand up to go after him, but Joel reached up to grip your arms, holding you in place.
"I'm fine, sweetheart," he said with a chuckle. Sweetheart. Your heart skipped a beat at the term.
"Are you sure?" you asked, your brow furrowed with concern.
"Yeah, just gimme a hand," he said, and you stood to give his arm a firm yank, allowing him to stand.
"Let's get you off the ice," you told him, ushering him carefully to the exit and finding a bench.
"Does your head hurt?" you asked, sitting down next to him. Your fingers reached up to graze the back of his head.
"No," he said breathlessly, staring at you as you continued to study him for any injury. God, you were so beautiful, he couldn't force himself to look away.
"That's good. How about your vision?" you pressed, still so focused on the fall and not seeing the way he was looking at you. But when you finally locked your eyes on his, your breath caught in your throat.
All the laughter and playful yelling surrounding you faded. You couldn't look away from his heated gaze, his deep brown eyes boring into yours so intensely, you almost forgot to blink. He brought his hand up to gently cradle the side of your face, his calloused palm meeting your soft skin. Your lips parted to accommodate your sudden need for more oxygen, and his gaze fell to your mouth.
"Joel," you whispered, and the way his name sounded coming from you was so damn sweet, it almost did him in.
"Yeah?" he whispered back, swallowing the lump in his throat.
"Kiss me."
He didn't need to be told twice.
He leaned forward, eyes sliding shut and slotting his lips against yours, deeply breathing in your scent so he could remember it tomorrow. He was determined to commit every second to memory, knowing that by morning he would be aching for you, aching for this. Against his better judgement, he pressed himself into your lips harder, unsure if he will ever get to feel like this again when you inevitably came to your senses. The idea of this feeling being taken away from him spurred him on, desperate and eager for every second you were willing to give him.
Your hand came up to the back of his neck, holding him against you as his lips massaged yours tenderly. You inched closer to him on the bench so you could tuck yourself into his broad chest. He was so warm and soft and strong that it was making you dizzy. Your fingertips stroked the curls at the base of his neck as you tentatively opened your mouth just enough to suck his lower lip between yours. The quiet noise he made when you did that made your insides clench with need, and against all odds, you felt yourself falling, completely losing yourself in him and the moment.
A startling voice over the loudspeaker announcing that the rink was closing in fifteen minutes finally snapped you out of it. You both pulled back but kept your foreheads pressed together as the world around you slowly melted back into focus. His hand still cupped your face and he lifted his thumb to gently trace your swollen lips.
"I should take you home," he murmured. At first, your stomach flipped, thinking he meant his home, but you realized he wasn't that type and he meant your parents' house.
You nodded, not trusting yourself to speak, and you sat back reluctantly, breaking away. His hand dropped from your face to the hand in your lap, his thick fingers wrapping around yours for a moment as he collected himself with a deep breath.
Finally, he forced himself to stand, still clutching your hand and helping you up. You glanced down at the floor and smirked.
"We should probably take our skates off," you said, and he chuckled, breaking the tension and sitting back down, his hand reluctantly letting go of yours to undo his laces.
After you turned in your rentals, his hand quickly found yours again, unwilling or unable to let you go as he led you back to his truck, this time making sure to open the car door for you. Thanking him quietly, you jumped up into the cab and watched him round the front of the car, running a hand through his hair and sucking in deep breath.
You grinned and bit your lip as he started the truck, swinging his arm around to grip your headrest and twisting his body to back out of the spot. It took everything in you not to scoot across the seat and tuck yourself into his side.
He let his arm drop loosely on the seat in between you as he drove down the street, one hand on the steering wheel. Your fingers inched forward, sliding your palm underneath his hand, lacing your fingers together. The corners of his mouth tugged into a smile and you drove in a comfortable silence, your hands intertwined the whole time, until he pulled into your driveway and cut the engine.
You sighed as you stared at the darkened house, already missing him and he wasn't even gone yet. He peered over at you, trying to think of a way to prolong the date, but aside from the obvious, which he wasn't going to do just yet, he was coming up empty.
"Lemme walk you up," he said finally, and you nodded, reaching for the handle of the door but he stopped you. You furrowed your brow, confused, until you watched him rush over to open the door, and you grinned, taking his hand so you could slide out of the seat.
You stared at the ground as he led you up the path to the porch, your heart pounding in your ears. You weren't sure what you had been expecting tonight, but it definitely wasn't this feeling. This was so much more.
"Well, thank you for tonight," you said as you reached the door, turning around to look up at him through your lashes. "I had a really good time."
"Yeah, me too," he said, his soft, brown eyes trailing over your face, locking away every little detail. Unable to resist, he stepped forward, his rough hand skimming around to the back of your neck. He tilted your face up, ducking down slightly to meet you halfway and brushed his lips gently over yours.
Your hands flew up to grip the collar of his flannel, keeping him pressed against you as you leaned against the front door. God, for someone who claimed to be rusty, he was a really good kisser. He was gentle and slow and it took your breath away both times. You knew you were getting in over your head, but you couldn't bring yourself to care. All you could think about was him and how badly you wanted more.
Nervously, you opened your mouth and flicked your tongue against his plush lips. He responded by parting his lips and allowing your tongue to dance with his own, his mouth applying more pressure than before as the heat flared between you.
Before you could stop it, a soft moan rumbled from your throat, causing him to pull back, panting slightly as his gaze flickered between your eyes. You gazed up at him, eyes dark and desperate, your fingers still gripping the fabric of his shirt tightly.
You weren't sure what he was searching for, but after a moment he seemed to find it because his mouth came crashing down on yours once again, this time with more yearning and desire. His tongue probed inside your mouth, licking past your teeth and in the back of your mind you realized he tasted faintly of mint and you wondered when on earth he popped a mint into his mouth but it didn't matter. Nothing else mattered except the two of you in that moment, each seeking something within the other that you never expected to find.
His chest ached knowing he would have to stop kissing you soon, or else he would never leave. He always considered himself a strong man, after everything he had been through, how could he not? But something about you made him realize he wasn't nearly as strong as he thought. Your lips were so soft compared to his, so sweet and perfect that it made him want to cry because in that moment, he knew he could never let you go.

something sinful (smut) masterlist
a - n masterlist // o - z masterlist
if youād like to get on one of my taglists, check this post out
945 days. within those 945 days lewis hamilton was in deep denial and grief for his successes in the track.
he wondered where heād gone wrong, why the team hadnāt done anything to help him get back up there, what he could do next.Ā
lewis thought of it. in the span of 945 days, lewis made big decisions. he was moving to ferrari in 2025 because nobody valued him enough in mercedes - because he was still seeking for that eighth championship and all they thought about was that he was a lost cause. or at least some people said that his days were over.Ā
but he knew himself well enough. he was self-assured enough to get back up there.
at least now he knew that the car was fixed. he knew it wasnāt a 'him' thing - it was a car and team thing. he knew it all along, because lady hamilton always told him that.
ah, lady hamilton.
his lovely wife of two years - one who saw him in his ups and downs. but throughout their marriage, what she saw were usually his downs. there were a lot of āwouldāve, couldāve, shouldāveā that she witnessed, sometimes arguing with lewis about beating himself up for something he lacked: success.Ā
but lewis knew that rome wasnāt built in a day. his wife made sure he knew that.Ā
now, as he stood on top of the podium with the union jack hanging over his shoulders, lewis found himself thinking through āgod save the king.ā
945 days.Ā a hint of a race win finally came through after 945 days of losing streak and consistent podium finishes without the win.
lewis was the race winner of his home circuit. this was his last race win in his home circuit as a driver from mercedes.
he glanced down beneath the stage, seeing his father, mother and siblings as they celebrated him. but there was really one person that he looked at.
his wife, who was dressed impeccably with the mercedes hat on her head. she had a wide smile on her face, her eyes gleaming in happiness after seeing lewis so emotional. she always loved it when he was emotional in a positive way.Ā
lewis recalled the days when he made things difficult for her. in those days, she made sure to rid him of those negative feelings too. no questions asked, only helping him through and chatting him out of his bad days.Ā
945 days of which had mishaps and misunderstandings. 945 days of his falling for her despite his efforts to drive her away. 945 days of patience.Ā
she was the true winner of all of this even if lewis stood on top of the podium in silverstone circuit.
so how she found herself being worshipped like a goddess, lady hamilton wasnāt sure.
lewis was just all over her and that was it, the tip of his nose briefly touching the sensitive bundle that made her jolt and writhe.Ā
her hands clutched the sheets beneath her.Ā
her hips begged to move against lewisā insistent tattooed hands as he held them down and ate her like she was his last supper. the moans that escaped her mouth sounded like a hymn sung by a one woman choir.Ā
she was a walking- no- she was a writhing woman who felt more like a divine figure. one that no one knew about but lewis. one that he believed in throughout those 945 days of asking himself, āwhat if it isnāt my time?ā
āoh my god,ā she whimpered softly, āngh~ lew~ā
āi know, darling,ā lewis murmured as he lapped on her, his tongue prodding her entrance. āyou want to cum, i know. let me have you first, yea? you taste so fucking good to not devour.āĀ
his words turned her into a putty. or simply just a liquid that drenched the entire bed.
just as she thought she couldnāt get any more wetter than this, lewis broke the dam down and allowed her to cum all over and taste the trickling liquid that escaped her cunt.Ā
lewis let out a guttural groan, āfuck, darling. keep cumminā fāme.ā he couldnāt help his fingers, slotting their way through her throbbing walls and prod another orgasm into her.Ā
she cried out loudly, āfuck!ā lewisā fingers kept moving and coaxing another release from her, her senses being tortured by his sweet love and overstimulation.Ā
this went on for a couple of minutes, lewisā eyes darkening in desire and admiration as he watched his wife shake and convulse beneath him. her eyes glistened in haze and tears, no words left in her mouth as her body attempted to descend from the high.
but lewis wasnāt finished loving her yet. he wasnāt done showing his gratitude. he wasnāt done showing her how much she deserved his praises, his respect, his admiration for her patience.Ā
the briton earned a squeak when he grabbed her hips and tugged her close, precum leaking out of his painfully stiff cock and prodding its way into her drenched pussy.Ā
āoh,ā she let out softly, attempting to embrace process everything as she hummed, āmmā¦āĀ
āyouāre so good fāme, my sweet darling wife,ā lewis murmured softly as he leaned over to press a kiss on her forehead. āmy beautiful wife. ever the patient one. always saw me at my worst.ā
āmmfh- fuck,ā she gasped when lewisā girth and length filled her empty hole languidly, āyesā¦ ohā¦ god- fuck yes.ā
āyouāre so fucking good to me- ugh-ā lewis let out a loud grunt, bottoming out inside of her and repeatedly hitting that one spot in the same angle. āalways tight and eager for me.ā
āonly for you,ā she whimpered in pleasure, her hands slotting their ways around him with her nails scratching his tattooed back.Ā
her heels dug into his ass, pulling him closer as if lewis hadnāt filled her up enough to rearrange her insides.Ā
āyeah?ā lewis grunted softly, growling and nipping her neck. āyou like that donāt you? you like being good to me?ā his thrusts began to roughen and increase their pace as lewis fulfilled his needs to fill his wife up.Ā
āngh~ā
āiām gonna fuck you like you deserve it, darling,ā lewis crooned softly, his lips attached to hers and tongue tangled with hers.Ā
her moans travelled from her mouth to his, lewis devouring every single whimper and noise she let out.Ā
āgonna fuck you until youāre full of me,ā lewis said as he gasped quietly and placed a palm on her bare stomach, āātil youāre full of my baby. youāre gonna be even more beautiful when youāre round. fuck- darling-āĀ
if there was anything that both of them learned throughout those 945 days, it was that they kept their promises.Ā
she promised to lewis that she would be there no matter the storm that came his way. now, he promised her a life that she wanted. it was only fair lewis returned the favour.
especially when his wife was there from the very beginning.

Day 4: Breeding Kink w/ Dick Grayson
survived work, here's some smut
Kinktober Masterlist
āYeah, I think the dancing skeleton might have been too much. Dude, are you even listening?ā Timās voice carried over the shrieks and giggles of kids as they filled the grounds of Wayne Manor. It was their annual Halloween celebration for the children of Gothamās foster care and while Dick thought it was a fun event, his attention was focused on something entirely other than the crowd of kids.
You were standing next to Stephanie and chatting about something, but it was the toddler currently fast asleep in your arms that caught his eye. The kid was in some kind of Sesame Street costume or whatever the fuck kids watched these days and you were dressed up as a classic witch. Steph held your big pointed hat so it wouldnāt slump over and bump the sleeping kid. The little Cookie Monster had hid behind the legs of one of the older kids the second they stepped off the busses, but she had emerged out of her hiding place once you offered her a smile and asked her about her costume.
Now she was fast asleep in your arms as you cradled her, looking both incredibly comfortable and intensely protective over a kid you just met.
And holy shit, Dick felt his heart skip a beat. The blood in his veins was rushing so hard that he swore he could hear the roar. There was just something about how naturally you reacted to the situation thatā¦
āHoly shit,ā you gasped against Dickās mouth as he pushed you back against the door. His lips moved down your jaw and then to your neck and then he was latching on and leaving a hickey that was sure to last. You fisted your hand in his soft black hair and moaned at his constant attention.
āBaby, whatās this all about?ā you whined as his kisses dipped lower on your chest. You were changing into pajamas when he pounced on you like a panther after its prey. His fingers dug into the soft skin of your hips and he ground his clothed cock against your leg.
āNot that Iām complaining,ā you added. āBut youāre acting like you will die if you donāt fuck me. Did you get hit with sex pollen?ā
āNo,ā he grunted. His fingers fumbled with the drawstrings of your sweats and you giggled before helping him untie them and push them down.
āThen whatās going on?ā
He raised his head and you met his eyes, dark with lust and burning with desire. Your breath caught in your throat as Dick leaned forward and inhaled your sweet scent before he settled his lips against the soft skin just above your pulse.
āI wanna fuck a baby into you,ā he sighed. āI want to see you and know that I put a baby in you. Wanna see you all round and want to touch you and know that youāre mine. I want every person that looks at you know that I fucked a baby into you.ā
Your legs pressed together as want built in your veins. You grabbed the back of Dickās hair and forced his head up so he could meet your eyes. āDonāt hide from me, Dick. You want to fuck me raw? You want to knock me up?ā
He nodded, his eyes hazy with desire and his lips parted with labored pants. āGod, I want it so bad.ā
You shoved him back and made your way to the bed. Lying down on your back, you spread your arms out and sighed. āWell, Grayson, arenāt you going to fill me up? It might take a few tries to stick.ā

I have a silly idea :3
imagine Mabel recounting the āaccident with the leaf blowerā to the reader, who then proceeds to make sure Ford isnāt around and tells her about the ākissing practice robotā incident from high school (which they witnessed) if you donāt know what I mean watch the land before swine commentary video
meanwhile Ford is down in the basement and suddenly stops what heās doing and is like āI feel a disturbance in the force.ā
A/N: Oh my god the kissing bot is so iconic, Ford is such a dork for that one lol. Hope I met your expectations with this one , its been a while since I've written something more lighthearted. Thanks for the request!
Contents: Mabel and Reader spilling tea, talks about kissing and romance and other sappy things. Ford x Reader more implied than anything. Short and fun.
Word count: 500
You know something is wrong because Mabel isn't smiling, Mabel is always smiling. She walks through the gift shop door and goes straight to sit on the counter next to you with a big sigh.
āAlright, spill it, sunshine.ā You say with a small smile, putting down the book you'd been reading in order to give her your full attention.
She looks up at you with big round eyes. āI dunnoā¦ The date went well, he even kissed me!ā You gasp in pretend shock and that gets a small giggle out of her. āI know right?! But likeā¦ It felt weird! It wasnāt bad! Just weirdā¦ maybe I need more practiceā¦ā
That makes you laugh as you prop yourself near the checkout; āMabel, darling, kissing isn't really some equation you can figure out, maybe he just wasn't the right person.ā
She lets out another big sigh, but you can tell is more resigned and hopefull this time. āYeah, I guessā¦ Besides, I really don't want another leaf blower accident.ā
You laugh again, Mabel has that charm. āThe what accident now?ā
āOh my gosh, I never told you?! It's so embarrassing; I was obsessed with that boy, who turned out to be a bunch of gnomes by the way, and I wanted our first kiss to be perfect, so I stuck a photo of him on a leaf blower on suction made and used it to practice.ā When she said that, both of you started to laugh so hard tears formed in your eyes. āI-t left like this huge bruise on my face!ā
You lean your head on the table, trying to stop laughing, but the mental image of Mabel with a leaf blower stuck to her face is too much.
āOh gosh you're just like your grunkle!ā You say in-between wheezing.
āWait which one?ā Mabel asked, rubbing the tears off her eyes.
āOkay soā¦ā You began, looking around just to check Ford wasnāt near. āYour Grunkle Ford, back in high school he built this robotā¦ā You look around again, holding back laughter and bringing down your voice. āIt was this mannequin head with a rubix cube for a mouth and it had an alarm that wouldnāt stop playing until heā¦ā And you did quotation marks with your hands. ā...kissed it right.ā
And you both started laughing all over again. āThat's so dorky oh my gosh!ā.
āRight!? He's such a nerd.ā You say, and there's a softness to it that eases Mabel's worries about romance all together. āIt fell from his locker once and it started blasting the darn alarm! He couldnāt go anywhere for a week after that without people mimicking kissing noises. It was gross.ā You chuckle and sigh, sitting back down on your stool. āCompared to that, a leaf blower is no big deal!ā
āCompared to what?ā Says a third voice.
You and Mabel snap your heads, seeing Ford standing on the doorway behind the vending machine.
Crap.

Boys Will Be Boys Have No Excuses
Beneath the Surface | Leah Williamson x R
Warnings: Anxiety & Symptoms of Anxiety, Bullying
Notes: Based off this request. Sorry it's taken a while but I hope you all like it, also if anyone has any more requests for this series let me know. (As always don't know if I like it but yeah) 1.6K words
āHey Bubs,ā Leah said as she walked into the nurses office, and the pit in your stomach only deepened, youād totally forgotten that your Mum had gone away, because she had a physio conference which she had to present at in Germany, Leah picking you up meant your [lan was ruined. You knew your Mum would let you have a mental health day without asking you the reason, because you would eventually answer her, however Leah wouldnāt, and you didnāt want to tell her, it was just some teasing that you were seriously over reacting too. You couldnāt keep faking though because you knew Leah would see right through it, so you had to be fine, and youād have to do your school work and swim stuff and hopefully because you were doing work and not lying around she wouldnāt get annoyed at you.
The next morning you felt anxious, your head ached, youād cried yourself to sleep, the dread of having to return to school, and see everyone, and face whatever the boys had to say overwhelmed you and you were scared. Trying to reduce the risks of whatever could happen, you didnāt eat breakfast, hoping that way the unease in your stomach wouldnāt turn into something more. You knew Leah wouldnāt let you stay home, so there wasn't even a point in asking, you knew she wasnāt happy having to pick you up when you were fine and in all honesty you felt guilty for making her leave training for you, so you figured youād just have to push through, it was only a little bit of anxiety, it really wasnāt a big deal.Ā
However as you got further from home the feeling of unease built and it was harder to ignore the twisting in your stomach, but you didnāt know whether to ignore it or tell Leah. You didnāt want her to think you were faking, which she probably would think, but you also didnāt want to be sick in the car. But it was all just in your head anyway, youād be fine, you just needed to stop being stupid and pathetic. However at the next set of traffic lights your stomach rebelled. Your throat burned as you brought up a mix of stomach acid and water, Leah was quick to lean over the centre console to grab you a sick bag from the glove box, handing it to you, before she hesitated, not really knowing what to do next. The light turned green and she did a U-turn, heading back home.
āDo you want me to pull over or do you think youāll be okay until we get home?ā Leah asked, her voice breaking slightly. You didnāt respond, too mortified at the fact youād just thrown up all over the car and yourself, it was just some anxiety and now youād ruined Leahās day.
āDo you want some water?ā Leah asked, trying to do anything helpful at all and you just shook your head, as much as your mouth tasted disgusting, you were sure youād be sick again if you had some water.
The rest of the drive was silent, and as you pulled into the driveway Leah handed you the keys which you gratefully took, rushing out of the car and to the door, placing the keys on the hallway table before running upstairs to have a shower.
-
Whilst you were showing Leah called your Mum as she cleaned out the car, which thankfully wasnāt too bad as most of it ended up on you.
āHey, how are you?ā Maddie asked as she answered the phone. āCurrently cleaning vomit out of the car.ā āWhat. Why? What happened?ā Leah sighed heavily, āI donāt know, yesterday I had to pick her up because she was feeling sick but she was fine, she didnāt have a fever and she acted normal once we were home, even did her school work. So I figured she would be okay to go to school today. We were about half way there and she just threw up no warning. Itās my fault, I shouldnāt have just assumed she was fineā āBabe, itās not your fault. Itās no one's fault, it just happens, do you think she is isck or do you think itās something else?āāI donāt know, maybe something else, I mean she seemed to get more agitated as we got closer to the school but I donāt know if Iām just overthinking things,ā āOkay, maybe we should talk to her, but Babe Iām really really sorry but I have to go, the presentation is about to start, but call me later, please,ā
-
You stood in the bathroom, wondering whether you could just risk running to your bedroom to get clothes, having forgotten some in your rush to get clean.
Mother Williamson: Iāve left some clothes for you outside the bathroom in case you forgot some. Iāve also put some things in your bedroom for you that you might need, but Iāve also got the couch set up for you if you feel up to coming down. I donāt mind which you choose, just please call out for me or come down if you need anything.
You opened the door slightly and there sat some trackies and a hoodie, it was your favourite set, a set Leah had gifted you, and you felt guilty for not telling Leah you were going to be sick, she clearly cared about you but it was obvious she didn't want to overstep.
-
āHey,ā Leah said softly as you walked into the living room, deciding to ease her guilt and go down, Leah also gave good hugs that made you feel better, and you could do with one of those currently.
āIām sorry,ā you mumbled before tears started to roll down your cheeks, and she held her arms out, directing you to come to her, and you did, you sat down next to her and pulled your knees to your chest, before hiding your face in her shoulder, and your tears turned into sobs.
āYouāre okay bubs, Iāve got you,ā Leah said softly as she began rubbing your back with one hand and placed her other hand on the back of your head protectively as you cried into her, āIām not mad, I promise, and Iām sorry for making you go to school when you clearly werenāt feeling well,ā you continued to cry into Leah as she held you tightly, murmuring calming words to you occasionally.
-
āWhatās going on with you?ā Leah asked you as she continued to run her fingers through your hair, having decided youād calmed down enough to ask you the question, your head now rested in her lap and a blanket covered your body. You just shrugged in response. āIs there something happening at school? Swimming? Iām not mad and I wonāt be mad I just want to help, but to do that I need to know what is going on,ā
āSome of the boys have been saying things to me recently and then yesterday they made a list of the hottest girls in the swim team and they put me last, said I was too āmuscularā for a girl and that I looked like I was pregnant sometimes. Which wasnāt really bad but everyone saw it and it was embarrassing, and they have been saying things about you, and Mum and Cait, because youāre Lesbians and um, he-he kept telling people I made up stories about my past to get attention and sympathy and when we did those persuasive speeches the other day he asked the teacher when I finished whether we got marks taken off us for claiming to have personal experience with things we didnāt,ā you spat out before pausing briefly, ābut can we please not talk about it? I donāt want to, not right now at least,ā
āWe can talk about it later, I won't force you to talk about anything but we will have to talk at some stage, okay?ā She replied, trying to hide the fact she was fuming, āBut I also want you to know that what he is doing isnāt right, and you have every right to feel this way, I promise you we will fix this,ā she told you and you nodded softly.
āWhat do you want to do the rest of the day?ā Leah asked as you had brunch at one of the cafes near your school, you just shrugged your shoulders as you took another bite of your sandwich. Sheād told you that you werenāt going to school that morning, you had a meeting with Josh the head of sport at 8:20 and then youād leave. You think she still felt guilty about yesterday's events, however you werenāt complaining, the school said they were investigating this issue and as this wasnāt the first time he had done something like this and been the main culprit it would be more than likely he would be kicked out of the sport program if not the school, however his parents were quite rich and he was a good swimmer, you couldnāt deny it, so you doubted whether that was actually true, realistically there was probably more chance of him staying then going. The deputy principal was also being investigated as he was the point of contact for several other complaints about these boys, but mainly just the one and he had swept it under the rug.

Our Love
(Miguel OāHara x Female Reader)
A/N: Hey everyone~āØ Iām writing this request thingy after I um had kind of a bad day. Not to get too personal, um parents can suck. Like they can hurt your feelings and not care. So I wanted to write this because I kinda wish that I had parents like Sunny and Miggy tbh. Anyway enough with that~āØ
A/N: TikTok spoiled some of the movie for me so Iām kinda mad but I got to think up some more Sunny lore for you guys. This is part 2 of Our Girl and forgive the ending because I ran out of ideas. If you like my work please check out my master list and if you wanna stay up to date with the series, then comment on this Taglist and youāll be added. To see whatās coming up next then check out my upload schedule.āØ
If you are someone who has struggled with Postpartum, Child loss, anxiety with pregnancy, or any trauma related to child birth and child bearing, feel free to skip this if you donāt think you can handle it. Your well being is more important, so go read some fluff, drink some water, and if you donāt have anyone giving you kisses then here: *platonic kisses*
Warnings: Grumpy x Sunshine, Female Reader/Female pronouns, Barely use of (Y/N) ((Sunny is their nickname, not their name)), angst, trauma, mentions of child loss, anxiety around pregnancy, and Google Translated Spanish.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The bouncing fear blooms as the repeating drumming of her pacing feet in the confined walls of the bathroom stall. The constant nagging of her god mother comes back to haunt her like the remains of her muffin tries to climb itās way back up.
The three minute timer on her phone felt like an eternity as the white piece of plastic continues to load up the bullet that will end everything sheās built up for herself so far.
She was head of the undergraduate at her biology department at NYU and she had stupidly decided to go out to some party with her friends to celebrate the end of the school year. An embarrassing hook-up occurred with her having to sneak out without even getting a good look at the guy. Of course she assumed that her drunken self would have used protection, but unfortunately, alcohol doesnāt always encourage good decisions.
She thought that the sudden spouts of tossing her lunch up was simply due to nerves as she was applying for a work study program with Alchnemax, but the sudden repulsion to her god motherās cooking is what really set the dread into motion. A dread she swallowed down with a big smile as she pretended her whole life wasnāt changing in an instant. She held onto the hope that maybe it was just nerves bothering her until today.
Her interview with Alchnemax went exceptionally well. The woman was aware that her chances of being accepted were low despite her high academic achievements due to A) sheās a scholarship student, B) sheās some poor kid from Brooklyn, and C) she was an orphan without any cushy family legacy behind her.
Two of the three department leaders of the Genetics department already decided her fate as they had those noses turned up at her, but one just looked at her with kindness. He gave her a chance. And if it wasnāt for that the others wouldnāt have heard her creditials and wouldnāt have looked at her completely impressed. The man who looked at her so proudly gave her a wink as a way of showing he was sure I was gonna get it. Not in the creepy sexually charged man way. But like how a father would their child.
Her first friend here. Dr..
The beeping from the phone alarm catches her attention as she turns to look at the white stick of destiny. Her whole life is forever changing today one way or anotherā¦.
~~~~~~~~~
āIām what?ā She gasps as she looks up at the red and blue man in a lab coat in shock.
She had just awoken hours after she had experienced the most bizarre incident that landed her in the infirmary. She had met a girl from an alternate dimension where she and Miguel were normal people who had a family together, and their daughter was that universeās Spider-Woman.
Their Daughterā¦their babyā¦
āYouāre pregnant, Miss. (L/N).ā Spider-Doc says cheerfully as he places a cold device on her stomach. A monitor appears from the small device with a familiar picture of a small little bean inside the black vast of her womb. A babyā¦
āIt looks like youāre about 6 weeks along based on the size of the fetus and itās a good thing we found out when we did. Mr. OāHara would have had our throats if heā¦.ā
The doctorās words fell on deaf ears as the womanās eyes focused intently on the image in front of her. The sounds of their pounding heart beat challenges the drumming of her own as her fingers lightly trace the image. She was so smallā¦so defenseless.
Just like he wasā¦
āD-does Miguel know?ā
~~~~~~~
Positive.
The test mocked her as she watched her Godmother hold onto the plastic piece with an unreadable expression. The twist of her dark mauve painted lips causes her glowy skin to crack under her dark eyes. A hand pushes back the freshly installed knotless braids as the clinking of the golden charms twisted her stomach more.
April was the one person the girl could always rely on the most in the world, having raised her since she was eight years old. She was the only real mother figure sheās ever known and always pushed her to her hardest. April always made sure that the two were always fed, clothed, and pampered, and the only thing she ever asked for was for her godchild to bring home all Aās and to have a smile.
April taught her to value education both in and out of school. She made sure she could solve any math problems as best as she could without a calculator and how to make sure to know which doors she can knock on if someone was following her at night. April made sure she knew her Spanish well so she can have bigger opportunities in the workforce and to know respect for the Parraās down the hallway.
April had a baby the same time as her best friend Maria and promised each other to be each otherās godmothers so their daughters can always be best friends just like their moms.
But, Maria lost her life while April lost her baby.
āHow far along are you?ā The older woman asks with her dark warm eyes misting over as she looks at her god child.
āI donāt know, maybe a month and a halfā¦ā The own girlās body shaking as sobs built up in her chest as she looks at her now smiling godmother.
āDo you want to keep it?ā¦ā
The question hung in the air as the womenās combined shaking forms as the woman honestly didnāt think about it before.
~~~~~~~~~
When the spider got released from the infirmary, she immediately turned off her gizmo as she turned invisible. She shakily avoided everyone she could so she could go to her room without seeing anyone.
She couldnāt bring herself to see anyone. Not with this. She knew if Miguel wasnāt on a mission right now then he would have already been at the infirmary waiting on her, but she wouldnāt be able to look him in the eyes. It wasnāt fair.
One of her hands rests on her stomach as she navigates the hallways before finally reaching her room. She waited until no one was paying attention to slip in and turn back to normal with a painful sigh. She forgot how painful it was to do that without her suit helping her. Miguel specifically made it so her powers wouldnāt put as much strain on her heart than it already did.
Her back hits the door as she finally collapses with a shaker breath. The reality of the situation was finally kicking in as she placed both hands on her stomach. She was pregnant with Miguelās child.
Something that definitely wasnāt supposed to happen. Sure, she can argue that if the anomalous event hadnāt have occurred and destroyed her dimension , she would have never known about the Spider Verse or even met Miguelā¦
But sheās accepted that whatever relationship they were in wasnāt going to be able to manifest more than what it was. Two broken people who fell in love and were trying to make the best of their circumstances.
Due to her being from an alternate dimension, there isnāt a canon event that could possibly let her be able to live with Miguel and start a familyā¦it would just destroy every thingā¦
āWould Miguel even want this baby?ā¦ā She though as she runs one of her shaking hands over her cheek as anxious tears rolled down her face. āWhat if she has powers like us? What if they arenāt healthy? Would he want to get rid of it because sheās an anomalyā¦.ā
She didnāt have the same support system as she did when she had her son, Ben. She didnāt have April who would sooth her anxieties of motherhood and made sure that Ben had diapers at home. She didnāt have the Parraās who would bring her supper some evenings in exchange for letting the infertile Valeria babysit her boy when her and April were busy. She didnāt have the corner stores where they always hid back some cans of formula for her and gave her son lollipops.
Her sonā¦her baby boy that she failedā¦
The image of his lifeless little body appears in her vision as she remembers the way his body was limp in her hold. The way his little face was so frozen in fear when he used to always have the biggest smile on his faceā¦
āWhat if I fail this one too?ā
Her thoughts cause sobs to rip from her body as she curls her knees up to her chest as she thought about all of the possibilities that this baby would ruin itā¦
Then Mariaās face came to mind. The young spider girl that was only a few years younger than she was when she found out she was gonna have Ben.
With the girlās face burning in her mind, the woman stands up and immediately storms out of her room. Her blurry eyes burned as she made her way to the one place that she knew would have answers.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ba dump ba dump
The pounding sound fills the room as the pair of women stared in awe at the monitor. A little squirming being about the size of her hands shined against the black background of the screen as the OB-GYN wiggles around the cold wand over her stomach.
āOh myā¦ā A teary smile appears on the older womanās face as April clenches onto her astonished Goddaughterās hand. The 14 week old fetus was facing the camera as his little legs wiggled around enough to barely turn him over.
His mother stares at him with such wonder as to how she could have made that.
She knew the whole biological process of how itās down and what to expect at each step, but just seeing him there, barely even big enough to see him, was her baby.
āThere he is. A perfectly healthy baby boy.ā The OB smiles at the mother and gently traces his little face on the monitor. āDo you have any ideas for names yet?ā
April smiles at the girl lost in wonder and decides to let her have the moment she remembers so well from her own pregnancy. April runs her thumb over her childās knuckles as she answers.
āShe wants to name the baby after her parents. They died in a car accident when she was young. If it was a girl, her name would be Maria and if it was a boy, his name would beā¦ā
āBen.ā The mesmerized girl finishes her sentence as she looks back at the doctor with a bright teary smile. āHis name is gonna be Ben.ā
~~~~~~~~~~~
āHey boss.ā Lyla cautiously calls the man who was frantically trying to find his missing love.
After he returned from stopping a Prowler anomaly, Miguel immediately went to the infirmary to find that she had left hours ago and no one else has seen her since the young SpiderWoman was sent back home.
He thought she was fine when he last checked on her when they shared a happy tear feast over how wonderful their daughter was before she had fallen asleep from crying.
āNot now Lyla. Iām trying to find (Y/N).ā He grumbles as his nerves twist his stomach around.
It wasnāt like her to go off the grid like this, not without at least telling Miguel that she wanted some quiet time. He clenched his fist as he feared that meeting Maria may have caused his Sunny to fall into a bad spell of depression sinceā¦
āSheās in the observation room looking at the Web.ā Lyla answers like she was annoyed that Miguel was listening to her. āBut thatās not what Iām talking about. Thereās something strange happening to your-ā
Lyla is cut off by Miguel turning her off as he speed walks towards the observation room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The tiny wail broke the chaotic tension in the room as tears of joy flood out of the exhausted woman. The squealing babe was placed on her chest as the doctors returned back between her legs to remove the placenta. Her trembling hands came up to soothe the baby boy as his slimy body trembled in the new environment. His dark hair matted to his soft head as his mother placed a delicate kiss on her baby boyās forehead.
āHello, Ben.ā
~~~~~~~~~~~
Miguel storms into the observation room as the target of his search stared silently at the glowing red spiral of webs. The images of the Maria of Earth 1784-B played out on a holographic image as she looks like she was tussling with the two boys he recognized as Mariaās brothers. An image of that worldās Miguel comes up and playfully picks up the three with a stumble before throwing them on the couch with a laugh as his wife comes up and laughs behind him.
The family that Miguel dreamed about every night. The one he tried to achieve twice in different ways before it was stolen from him. The one he canāt help but crave with his beloved but knows it probably wonāt happen.
āCariƱo?ā¦.ā His voice barely as whisper as he approaches his lover as she jumps in surprise.
Her teary eyes stared at him in alarm as a protective hand was placed on her stomach.
Miguel ignores that detail, believing that she was just mourning her lost baby boy, and gently placed his hand on her cheek, softly wiping away her tears.
Her eyes shine with untold anxiety as her choked sob caused Miguel to pull her into his chest. āEstoy aquĆ mi amor. HĆ”blame....ā He whispers softly into her hair as he wraps his arms tightly around her.
Her own grip traps him against her shaking body as she cries into his chest. Her worries slowly spilling out as she sobs, ā Itās not fairā¦ā
āI know. ā Miguel mumbles as he rubs the base of her skull softly to provide some relief from the pain. āThe universe is cruelā¦ā
āIt isā¦ā she agrees as her breathing eventually evens out enough for her to pull away slightly to look up into his concern burgany gaze. āMiggyā¦Tengo algo que decirte... pero tengo miedo de que te enfades conmigoā¦ā She admits with an unstable edge in her voice.
Miguel frowns at this as he cups her face. His concerned love filled eyes closes as he pulls her towards his lips. He kisses her forehead before resting his own forehead against hers. His eyes opening as an encouraging smile shines at him.
āNo, mi sol, nunca me enfadarĆa contigo. Especialmente si te estĆ” causando tanto estrĆ©s.ā He mutters as he feels his belovedās hands wrap around his thick wrist, using his pulse to stablize her.
āReally?ā She looks for reassurance as her swollen eyes searched his for any doubt.
āYes. Iām sureā¦ā
~~~~~~~~~~
āHey, beautiful!ā A voice cheers as she enters the hospital room.
The new mother was propped up on a the hospital bed with her newborn son swaddled up in a soft blue blanket. She stops admiring the sleeping babe to smile up as April walks over with a bright smile and a beautiful bouquet of Carnations. Their petals were a soft pink with a baby blue ribbon wrapped around the glass vase. April places the arrangement down as she sits beside the bed.
āSo thatās my grandchild?ā She asks as she reaches over and gently caresses the bundle. Ben stirs for a moment before settling back down. The young mother nods and slowly moves the baby into her god motherās arms.
The new grandmother accepts the baby happily as she leans back and gently coos at the sleeping Ben.
āYouāre gonna have him spoiled.ā She jokes as she admires watching how the older womanās eyes light up as the babyās face twitches.
āGrandbabies are for spoiling while children are made for scolding.ā April quips back playfully as she giggles at her Goddaughter. āOh, your boss brought those by the apartment. He said he hopes youāll bring the little guy by the lab when heās big enough.ā
A confused frown takes over her face before she realizes that her mentor must have been the one she met. Working at Alchemax during her work study and pregnancy allowed her to get close to the board member that gave her the chance to work here. Him being a father himself, he took the pupil under his wing and helped her a lot during this time, even easing her worries with embarrassing tales of his own parenting blunders . He was more of a friend now than her mentor.
As April entertains herself with the infant, the mother reaches over and plucks the card placed on the top of the flower arrangement. She holds the card gently as she read the note, a soft smile.
āCongratulations, kiddo. You made it to parenthood. You better bring that boy here to hang out with us because I need something more interesting to do than listen to Osborneās voice all day. Signed, Dr. ā¦. ā
~~~~~~~~~~~~
āExcuse me!!ā A visual of Lyla appears beside the couple with an annoyed expression. Her irritability can be heard as she stares at the startled pair before glaring at Miguel.
āIf youāre done being a couple of cry babies, I have some urgent news!ā She snaps before pulling up a familiar red webbing with an odd addition wrapping around its nodes.
Miguel frowns in concern as he sees a blue web intertwining with the red nodes of his canon while his sunshine looked shocked.
This was not a normal anomalyā¦
āWhat is that?ā Miguel asks while Lyla scoffs.
āYour canon is changing, but not from an anomaly.ā She explains. āYour universe is fixing itself.ā
āFixing itself from what?ā Miguel growls as heās growing frustrated at the rude behavior the AI was expressing.
āFrom the bun in your sunshineās oven.ā
And with a quiet what, the big bad Miguel OāHara falls over and passes out.
~~~~~~~~
Translations:
Estoy aquĆ mi amor. HĆ”blameā¦.ā-I'm here, my love. Talk to me....
Tengo algo que decirte... pero tengo miedo de que te enfades conmigoā¦āI have something to tell you...,but I'm scared you are going to be upset with meā¦
No, mi sol, nunca me enfadarĆa contigo. Especialmente si te estĆ” causando tanto estrĆ©s.ā-No, my sun, I would never be upset with you. Especially if its causing you this much stress.

Trick or Treatā¦or Else
This is unfinished because I felt like I kept screwing up Jasonās characterisation a bit. Gotta work on that.
Jason glanced up at the clock hanging on the wall to his left, itās was 2:57 on Halloween. His patrol wasnāt due to start for a few more hours, but something tugged at him that cause him to feel like something was going to happen. He wasnāt sure if it was a good or bad feeling just yet. He just knew that whatever is was put him on edge.
āHavenāt you taken enough pictures, Danny?ā Tucker laughed through the screen of the computer Danny had set up in a four way call between himself, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz.
āI could never have too many pictures of my little princess!ā Danny retorted as he snapped another photo of little Ellie in her Halloween costume.
āAhem!ā Ellie puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips. The pose made her look even cuter, Danny thought.
āOh my apologise,ā Danny grinned cheekily, āmy little badass.ā He corrected himself.
Ellie, decked out in her mini Red Hood costume. The child sized leather jacket had been a gift courtesy of Sam, while the mini Red Hood helmet had been designed and built by both Tucker and Danny working together to ensure it would be perfect. They might have gone a little overboard however, since theyād managed to incorporated a real working com unit, an air filtration system in case of a gas attack, night vision, heat vision, and an emergency beacon should Ellie wander off and get lost that only Danny or Tucker could access. Danny had also hand painted two nerf guns for her, and gave her hand painted āgrenadesā that were just glitter bombs. Ellie had insisted, just in case she was āforcedā to choose ātrickā from Trick or Treat.
āDanny,ā Jazz voice held a fondness to it, āif you keep it up with the picture not only will you no longer have any space on there, you guys will be too late for the trick or treating.ā
āOh no! I donāt wanna miss it,ā Ellie ran to Danny and started tugging on the sleeve of his costume, āletās go!ā She looked up at him and though the helmet obstructed Danny being able to see Ellieās face, he could feel it in his bones that she was giving him those big puppy dog eyes of hers.
After a dramatic show of sighing in defeat, he picked up his daughter and said, āalright my starlight, but letās say bye to the others first though.ā
āBye Uncle Tuck, Aunty Sam, and Aunt Jazz!ā Ellie waved her little gloves hand at the screen from her place in her dadās arms.
Tucker, Sam and Jazz all waved back and said their goodbyes and wishing her a fun time trick or treating. Danny bid his friends and sister farewell and ended the call.
āCāmon Little Hood, letās go bug our neighbours for candy,ā Danny beamed at Ellie as he put her back down and held out her candy bucket which had been a plastic black pumpkin from a dollar store. Heād hand painted a red bat symbol on the front of it for her, so that it would match her costume more. Ellie held the bucket in one hand, and held her dadās hand in the other as they exited their apartment.
The clock had ticked over to 3:20pm the next time Jason spared it a glance. The trick or treaters would be put and about now. Most cities started later, but in Gotham there was always the risk of a rouge attack, so many parents would go out earlier, just to make sure they were home to avoid being out when it started to get darker.
Jason stretched his arms above his head and marked his page before putting down the book heād just been reading. He stood up slowly and made his way over to his front door, checking that he had some Halloween candy at the ready just in case someone knocked on his door before he took off for the night. Jason knew that his building had several families with children under 14, so the likely hood of getting at least one truck or treated was pretty high.
When he was satisfied that he had everything in place he returned to the couch, picked his book back up and waited.
āTrick or treat!ā Ellie cheered as the door opened.
The middle aged woman who opened the door let out a small gasp, āoh my,ā she said with a smile, āRed Hood, I didnāt know youād be patrolling our building?ā Her tone was teasing as she reached somewhere past the door to grab some candy for Ellieās pumpkin.
āOf course maāam!ā Ellie happily played along, making her own attempt at a deep āmanā voice, ācrime could be anywhere!ā
āWell I certainly feel safer knowing youāre out there protecting us Red Hood,ā the woman laughed, āhave a good patrol.ā With that she closed the door, and Danny and Ellie Bahn making their way to the next ācivilianā as Ellie had started to call their neighbours.
Five groups of kids had come to Jasonās door so far. It was getting later, and he knew heād need to start getting ready soon. Just as he was weighing the pros and cons of heading out on patrol early another knock sounded from the door to his apartment.

Divorcee Kate š¤¤ .... would she hate it if you went crawling in a fit of spite to ask John for help? Send her pics of you sorting it out? A hairy forearm and a boonie cap tucked almost out of view behind the laptop screen?
oh boy. what if. let's just imagine it first. i could see it going one of two ways:
one, john knows better than to meddle in kateās business. he knows youāre off limits and rebuffs you.
two, johnās been wanting a piece of you. you made one offhand comment years ago after kate showed you a photo of them when they first metāyou couldnāt believe heād ever been clean-shaven. you said something like, āyou look like my college boyfriend.ā he felt bad about it then, pulling over on the drive to his hotel to tug his cock at the idea. to the what if.
it was easy to deny the attraction. he only saw you maybe once a year if kate felt generous and offered to host for some holiday. (those visits were the worst. at least at a hotel, he could escape the lingering scent of your perfume. didnāt face the temptation of a laundry hamper in the shared bathroom.)
but when he learns about the divorce, he canāt help himself. he bides his time, watches kate meddle in your life from afar, and doesnāt even try to intervene or persuade his disgruntled friend. no, he waits until he knows things reach a boiling point to send a simple text message: āthinking of you, let me know if you need anything. youāll always have a friend in me.ā
and when you get that text? after nearly smashing your phone at kateās selfie? you melt with relief at the thought you might finally have an ally. then something meaner comes nipping at its heels. kateās jerking you around, you know it. that much is obvious with that stupid little bracelet.
you compose an innocent reply and invite john over for coffee. heās there the next morning, politely kissing your cheeks with a sympathetic smile and a bouquet in hand. as he throws the ball for your dog, you explain everything thatās been happening over the last couple of weeks. youāre worried about your parents. your job. if you can afford the house and car payments on your own. heās such a good listener and gentleman, itās hard to not end up genuinely teary-eyed in the end. he smooths a big hand over your back and reassures you in the rumbling voice. he promises to ādo whatever is in his powerā, and this time, you believe those words.
the next time he comes over, the two of you put your heads together, and he reaches out to some old friends. while heās on the phone, you snap a quick photo to send to kate: your laptop, a stack of forms, old bills, and a worldās best wife mug. you tell her that while you await her assistance, you manage with some help.
and if johnās caught in the corner of the frame, seated comfortably at the kitchen table that kate built with her own two hands? well. allās fair in love and war.
#kate laswell#price is right#this spoke to my 'reader gets passed between kate and john like a dog held in joint custody' obsession#sy asks

For the requests! I present to you...
Eddie reacting to Steve in a crop top and super short shorts for the very first time ever as Steve's just minding his own business and doing the most mundane things ever š
Oh what FUN. I needed this prompt SO bad and I had fun with it. Honestly I relate to Eddie so much here: just completely feral over Steve in a crop top and shorts. Hope you enjoy! - Mickala ā¤ļø
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Hawkins was hot during the summer, but that was nothing to the Florida heat.
Florida wasnāt Eddieās idea, to be clear.
His idea was anywhere not south.
July was hot enough everywhere, why make it worse?
Apparently, he was the only one with common fucking sense.
But Steve insisted on a beach trip, and apparently the only beach that was sufficient for the kids was in Florida.
Eddie wasnāt built for this. He was pale, only owned long black jeans, and his hair stuck to his face and neck the moment he started to break a sweat.
But Steve was so excited and the kids were so excited and so Eddie was tolerating it.
Steve bought an actual RV.
When Max got out of the hospital, basically adopted her when her mom was nowhere to be found, he bought one, not too big, but big enough for everyone to have a space.
Robin took the couch, insisted on it, not sharing with anyone, not even Steve. El and Max took a bottom bunk, Dustin the other bottom bunk. Steve didnāt let Mike and Will share a bunk because he went full parent mode the second he saw them holding hands, so Will took one top bunk with Lucas and Mike took the other. Which left Steve obviously taking the queen bed in the back, and Eddie the bed with him or the floor.
So Eddie argues with himself for a week leading up to the whole long two day ride to Florida about sleeping on the floor, about maybe trying to bunk with Dustin, who kicks and snores like a grown man fighting in a boxing ring. Considered begging Mike to suck it up and share so he wouldnāt have to face what heād been ignoring for six months now: that he was ass over head, disgustingly, write songs about him, in love with Steve Harrington.
He barely even talks to Steve, probably coming across as an asshole, but Robin covers for him, makes sure heās given the space he needs to come to terms with the fact he has to share a bed with Steve on this journey.
By the end of the first day, heād managed to come to terms with sharing a bed with him. A queen bed was big enough for space between them, he could wake up first so thereād be no chance of Steve seeing how hard he would be. He could make it work.
Making it work apparently meant not sleeping at all.
He didnāt even close his eyes. He felt every movement next to him, heard every breath Steve let out, every groan when he moved in a way that caused his healed but still sore bat bites to twinge.
He felt every twinge in his heart knowing that Steve was turned towards him, getting closer with every movement, and he had to ignore it.
He had to ignore it because if he didnāt, heād turn around and pull Steve against him, play with his stupid, soft hair, and run his hand up and down his stupid, muscular, naked back.
So he was a bit tired on day two of their travels. Steve asked if he could drive for a couple hours so he could braid the girlsā hair. What was he supposed to say? No?
Not fucking likely.
So he drove, even though he was exhausted, and hadnāt drive an RV before in his life, and probably shouldnāt have been allowed near a real map for any reason other than passing it to someone else.
Robin, luckily, saw him struggling, and quickly made her way to the passenger seat to be navigator.
She didnāt say anything about it, she didnāt ask about his night, and she didnāt offer to trade sleeping spots with him. He tried not to be a little bitchy about it, but honestly, she was supposed to be Steveās best friend, why couldnāt she sleep with him?
When Steve finally yelled to him to pull off the next exit to switch, he felt like he could breathe again.
Maybe he could take a nap in the bed since Steve was driving now.
But then Dustin wanted to talk about the campaign theyād do when they got to the campsite and Will got involved and then Mike had to add his (wrong) opinion about a trap that he was convinced Eddie would throw in. Eddieās head was starting to hurt and they still had six hours to go.
Eddie managed to sneak away to the bedroom after they stopped for gas and lunch, slept for maybe 30 minutes, then got woken up by El, who wanted her nails painted to match her bathing suit and he couldnāt say no.
Of course, Max decided she wanted her nails painted too, and then Robin said she needed a touch up and didnāt trust herself to do it so Eddie got wrangled into painting everyoneās nails.
He barely even realized when they arrived.
But suddenly, Steve was standing next to him, smiling down at him, making Eddie want to die and also propose marriage at the same time.
āThe kids are already running to the water. Wanna help me set up?ā
Steve could have asked him to murder someone and he would, so he said yes.
āCool, Iāll just change. Can you get the awning out and the chairs set up?ā
āYep, donāt take too long and make me do all the work.ā
Steve laughed. Eddie laughed.
Eddie was serious, but if anyone could get away with making him do all the work, it was Steve.
So he got started on it all.
He watched Robin walking slowly towards where the kids were running along the waterās edge to keep an eye on them, all of them just a little nervous to let them out of their sights still.
He started turning the crank of the awning, already sweating from the heat and humidity, the breeze just blowing more hot air and sand at him.
Heād never been to the beach before, and he was quickly realizing why he didnāt mind that.
Once the awning was set, he opened the side compartment to pull out some of the camping chairs Steve bought for the occasion.
āEverything going okay?ā
Eddie looked up to answer Steve and froze.
Steve had changed.
Heād changed into the shortest crop top Eddie had ever seen and a pair of shorts that his ass was going to pop out of the moment he bent over.
He couldnāt breathe.
Steveās skin was just. There.
His scars, the scars that matched Eddieās, were there.
Out in the open.
So much skin just happening right in front of Eddieās eyes.
āEddie? You okay? Need help?ā
Eddie coughed, trying to hide the fact he was practically choking on his own spit.
āGood. Iām good. So good. Great.ā
Steveās eyebrows raised, but he nodded.
āOkay, well Iām gonna hook up the plumbing and electric. Think you can get the hot dogs and buns out and start the fire for when the kids come back super hungry?ā
Eddie knew he was asking him something, possibly something important, but he didnāt understand any of it. He nodded, though.
He watched Steve walk around to the other side of the RV.
So much skin.
Holy shit.
Eddie wanted to rip those clothes off of him. He wanted to taste the sweat that was dripping down his neck. He wanted to carry him back into the RV, lock the door, and fuck him into the mattress of the bed they had to share later.
He could do it. Robin would keep the kids busy. Sheād understand.
But no. There was a reason he hadnāt acted on his feelings. There was a reason heād been keeping his distance, making sure he was never alone with Steve.
He was so lost in his thoughts he almost didnāt notice when Steve came back around the corner, sweatier than before, his skin glistening in the sun.
God, this had to be illegal. This was a war crime. This was torture.
Survived almost being eaten alive by demon bats just to die in Florida watching Steve hook up an RV.
Sounds like a sick joke by the universe, but not that hard to believe considering his history.
āEds? You good? You look like you need some water.ā
Steve was walking up to him now, using the crop top to wipe his forehead, showing off even more skin. Jesus Christ.
āMaybe I do need to cool off. Um. Let me go inside and get some water. Great idea.ā
Eddie was somehow making his legs work, rushing into the RV so he could get some space before he did something stupid like kiss Steve and tell him that he loves him.
But Steve was concerned, he shouldāve known he would follow him inside.
āEddie. Hey, just relax. The heat is a lot, maybe you should get your bathing suit on and just cool off a bit. I can handle the rest of this stuff,ā Steve said as he grabbed a glass and filled it with water from the sink.
Mustāve got the water working then.
Steve, to Eddieās horror and delight, sat down next to him and put his arm around him, handing him the glass of water with a worried look.
Eddie took it, ignoring the way his hands were shaking, hoping Steve would ignore it too.
He didnāt.
āEddie, shit. You overdid it. I shouldnāt have had you helping out in that heat like that. Youāre still technically healing.ā Steveās hand ghosted over where Eddieās worst scars were on his sides. āIām sorry. Just stay in here, Iāll get the AC going so itās cool. You can change, maybe youāll cool off faster.ā
Eddie knew the problem wasnāt really the heat. And Steve wasnāt going to stop this.
Eddie was watching the way the crop top rode up the more Steve fretted over him, the way his thighs were fighting their way out of the shorts.
He had to tell him.
Eddie pulled away from him for a moment, took a really long look at the scar on Steveās thigh that wasnāt Upside Down related, and then sighed.
āYouāre killing me. The heat sucks, but itās nothing compared to what youāre doing to me.ā
That shouldāve been where he stopped. But he didnāt.
āStevie, youāre like, the hottest guy Iāve ever seen. Like, hotter than Ozzy and James Hetfield combined. Which is crazy because you are nothing like them. Youāre you. And like Iām me. And Iām really gay. If that wasnāt clear yet then now it is. Iām super gay. Iām also super into you. I know youāre not into guys, even if you were, you wouldnāt be into me. So like, I get that this is weird and you donāt even have to look at me for the rest of the trip. Iāll sleep on the floor or something. Itās just this outfit is sending me over the edge. I didnāt even know they made shorts that short. And that top? Itās breaking my brain. Itās leaking out of my ears.ā
Steve was laughing by the end, which isnāt the worst thing that could be happening, but it certainly wasnāt the best.
āAnd I mean, when I say super into you, I donāt just mean stupid little high school crush. I mean like Iām in love with you. I love you entirely too much. Like, probably enough where I would be creeped out if someone loved me this much. So I think you should go back outside and let me just wallow in my self pity for a bit in here and then Iāll come back outside and pretend I didnāt just tell you the biggest secret Iāve been keeping for months.ā
āAre you done?ā Steve asked, no longer laughing, but smiling fondly at him.
Eddie nodded, worried that his outburst probably ruined everything.
But then Steveās lips were on his, and his hands were in his hair, and his thighs were straddling his lap.
Eddieās brain shut off and his body took over.
It wasnāt his first kiss by any means, but it was the first kiss with Steve Harrington, which made it more special by default.
He let his hands fall to Steveās naked thighs, moaning into the kiss when he felt his muscles shift under his palms as he adjusted to a more comfortable position.
Steve pulled away and looked at him with droopy eyes.
āWhat were you thinking about out there? You were lost in your own world.ā
āI was thinking about fucking you into the mattress of that bed while Robin distracts the kids.ā
Steve groaned and kissed him again.
āCan we do that?ā
Jesus. Steve was something else.
āSweetheart, as much as I know youād far surpass any fantasy Iāve had, the kids could be back any minute and we wonāt have an explanation for them.ā
āWe donāt need an explanation if we just tell them the truth,ā Steve pouted, trailing soft kisses down Eddieās neck.
āSo you wanna sit them all down and tell them their dad was fucking their mom into the mattress?ā
Steve pulled away and smacked Eddieās chest.
āNo! I just figured we could say you needed a nap. Since you didnāt sleep last night.ā
Eddie paled. How the fuck did Steve know that?
āRelax. I was asleep last night, itās not like I was watching you struggle to keep distance between us. But I saw how tired you were this morning and Robin let it slip that you couldnāt get comfortable and made my assumptions.ā
Eddie shook his head.
āWell then youāll know I am actually tired. I probably could use that nap.ā
Steve placed a quick kiss to his lips.
āThen you should take one. Iāll finish up outside.ā
āKinda want you with me though.ā
āOne of us has to be the responsible parent who sets everything up and gives the kids dinner.ā
āOh my god,ā Eddie smirked. āThis is like your ultimate fantasy isnāt it? Road trip with your kids and your partner?ā
Steve blushed.
āYouāre ridiculous.ā
āBut Iām right! Thatās why I love you, Stevie,ā Eddie said before kissing his forehead. āIāll come start the fire for the hot dogs. You stay away from me so I can focus.ā
āDamn. I was gonna take off the shirt, though.ā
Eddie closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
āI am begging you to keep it on.ā
āOh. Is this like a thing for you?ā Steve teased.
āSo what if it is?ā
āThen Iāll keep it on and you can fuck me into the mattress with it on later. Howās that sound, big boy?ā
Eddieās jaw dropped.
āUsing my own words against me? Unbelievable.ā
Steve shrugged and got off his lap, much to Eddieās dismay.
āIāll have Robin bring the kids on a night walk along the beach later. Sound okay?ā
āSweetheart, nothingās ever sounded better.ā

Hello, I was wondering if I could make a request for jeonghannie š¢š¢, how would he react to seeing you breastfeed your baby in front of him? And then he just wants to have sex and suck your tits like the baby š¢š¢
Sorry Anon for 2 things. One, I took forever with this request and two, I might have gotten carried away (2.5K words, yikes). Anyway hope you enjoy it Ė¶įµ įµ įµĖ¶ Also big thanks to @leejihoonownsmyheart for giving me the courage to post this CHEERS š„
Youāve always wondered if you would be a good mother. Not because your childhood was bad, but because you never saw yourself as such a figure in anyoneās life. You were always the baby of all your friend groups and it took you quite some time to consider yourself an actual adult and not just an overgrown kid.Ā
Now, looking at the little angel in your arms, you find yourself wondering how you could ever have had such a thought. Sure, she just barely came out of you but overall, things have been pretty smooth. You have the instincts down but what you have better than anything else is the person whose eyes are looking at you two with so much adoration that you could just crumble right then and there.
āWellā¦ Are you just going to sit there and stare at us?ā you asked teasingly.
āIf I could help I would angel, but pretty sure breastfeeding is going to be an āonly youā taskā he said as he smirked. You smiled at each other and as you continued feeding your little angel you looked back at your relationship with him.
Yoon Jeonghan. Before you met him, you never had been one to settle down. You had been in relationships sure, but nothing that had lasted more than 6 months max. You always ended up realizing the person in front of you just wasnāt your forever person and you had to move on. At one point, you even considered the fact that maybe you just werenāt built for love. Well, romantic love, you knew when it came to your friends and family, you loved fiercely and unconditionally, however, when it came to romantic relationships, things justā¦ fizzled down and you always ended up realizing you had never felt true love before.
But boy did that all change when you met him. You were crazy about him from the very beginning and you tried to keep him away to try and protect your fragile heart. But he was having none of it and kept breaking through your walls with ease and he did it consistently and with purpose, because what you didnāt know was that he had been just as crazy for you as you were for him, since the very beginning.Ā
Five years later and looking at the little family you two have built, you find it funny how you could have ever had such ridiculous thoughts about yourself and how you could ever have doubted him.Ā
And, at this moment, after five years of knowing Jeonghan, he still manages to surprise you with the next sentence that comes out of his mouth while staring at his perfect girls.Ā
āSo, baby, when is it my turn?ā he asked with such a shit eating grin. You lifted your head and stared at him. His eyes had that familiar spark they usually have when he wants to absolutely wreck you, and he is darting his beautiful orbs between your eyes and your breasts where your baby girl is currently finishing up her meal.Ā
Once you realize what he means, you start laughing and ask him āDo I look like an open buffet to you, Yoon Jeonghan?ā
āHmmā¦ You do look like a five-course meal, angelā he teases.
āWowā¦ That was incredibly cheesy even for you, Hannie. Oofā¦ I think you might be losing your spice, babyā you teased.
āLosing my spice, huh? Well, weāll just see about that later tonight wonāt we, angel?ā he said as he crossed the room to you.
He kissed you in your temple and held your baby girlsā hand and said āWhen sheās done with her dinner, Iāll get her to sleep, angel. You can go and do your night time routine, yeah? Look nice and pretty for me, hmm?ā
You knew exactly what he meant and you swallowed hard. Maybe you shouldnāt have teased him before but also, who are you kidding? You want this as bad as he does.
Once your baby girl was done, he picked her up to have their own bonding time as he always puts it. Jeonghan is the proudest when it comes to bonding time with his daughter and he takes it very seriously. He always makes sure to be the one to get her to sleep and, on nights where he canāt be present, it always eats away at him and he feels incredibly guilty for missing out on his baby girlās bedtime.
You go through your night routine (shower, lots of skincare, lots of hair care) and you are now standing in front of your closet wondering what kind of night this will be.
Is it a normal underwear kind of night? Is it a lingerie kind of night? Or maybe a Hannie shirt and nothing underneath kind of night? You choose the latter. From the look in his eyes earlier, this calls for the option that will make him the craziest for you, and he has always said, thereās nothing better in this world than looking at you wearing just his clothes and nothing else. A possessive little thing he is, but in the best of ways.
You go to bed waiting for him but you find yourself so tired that you start to doze off. Later, you wake up to his lips on you. He feels so warm and he is kissing you so delicately, you think you might still be dreaming.
āSorry, angel. Baby girl took longer than usual to fall asleep. Hmmā¦ I was just going to let you sleep but I got here and youāre in my shirt and smelling so heavenly, I couldnāt help myselfā he said as he continued kissing down your neck and climbing on top of you.Ā
āHannieā¦ā you moaned.
āYeah, angel. You want me to continue or you want me to let you sleep? Your choice, baby, but choose now before I go insaneā he says leaning his forehead in yours.
āWant you, Hannie. Donāt stop, pleaseā you whispered.Ā
He sat back on his knees and took his shirt off. You kept staring at him and wondering how you even got this fucking lucky. Youād have to pray to all the gods and the universe tomorrow.
āAngel, you canāt look at me like that. With those innocent eyes when I know that whatās going on behind them is not even close to being innocentā.Ā
You sit up and start kissing him. Properly, taking your time. It feels like ages ago since you last just sat and kissed like this. Deeply, so profound that you forget everything else around you. You then start kissing down his neck as he starts massaging your breasts. You stop for a bit and he senses your hesitation.Ā
āWhat do you think, angel? Is it my turn now?ā he asks, looking you in the eyes as he keeps caressing your breast with one hand and holds your face with the other.Ā
āWhatā¦ What if itā¦ You knowā¦ Comes out?ā you asked in such a low voice you almost sounded like a scared child.Ā
āAngel, youāre my wife. The mother of my child. You are my whole world. You have nothing to be embarrassed about. This is the most natural thing in the world and I want you so fucking bad. I want themā he says while massaging your breasts now with both hands.
āI want them so bad. Iāve tried hinting at it before but I didnāt know if you were ignoring it or if you werenāt getting the hint. But I want all of you. You know how sexy it is that you carried my child? That you brought our baby into this world? Fuck, everytime I think about it, it drives me fucking insaneā he says while leaning his forehead in yours.
āHmmā¦ Mommy kink, Hannie?ā you say, now smiling.
āMore like a You kink, angel. Everything about You, alwaysā and before you can tease him again about that line, he starts kissing you, taking your (well, his) shirt off of you and, in no time, you are in the position you were in when this all started.
He is kissing down your neck and his fingers are moving closer and closer to where you desperately want him to be. He kisses your chest, just below your collarbones and he starts running his fingers through your folds.
āFuckā¦ You are so wet, angelā¦ It seems Iām not the only one wanting to try this huh?ā he says in such a cocky way. You wish you had the strength to tease him back but you are getting way too desperate for his touch.
āItās you, Hannieā¦ The way you talk about meā¦ About thisā¦ Fuck, please, keep goingā you are now whining and getting more and more desperate.
As he starts slowly touching your clit, he moves his mouth and his free hand to your breasts. He quickly latches his mouth on one of your nipples and starts kissing it, devouring it. Heās making such sloppy noises, if it was anyone else in the world you would be so fucking embarrased but he keeps humming and moaning as he suckles and makes out with your tit.
You find yourself getting closer and closer, the fire in your core is igniting fast, too fast for your liking.
āHannie. Hannie. Iām.. Iām close. Slow.. Slow down, pleaseā you pant, barely making sense. He then pushes one fingerā¦ Then a second finger into your pussy and keeps reaching into that one spot inside you that makes your mind go completely blank.
āShhh, let go, angel. Fuck, I can feel your cunt squeezing around my fingers, youāre dripping on me. Just let go, I got youā he whispers while still latched to your nipple and staring you in the eyes.Ā
He kept going, getting sloppier, getting louder and staring at you like you are the most precious piece of art. His fingers have set the right pace and he has his thumb circling your clit with just the right pressure. Everything sounds so filthy and itās what pushes you over the edge with a moan of his name.
He helps you come down from your high and is now kissing you all over your face and whispering āgood girl. You were so good for me. I love you so muchā. When you are back down on earth, you start kissing him back and you can feel just how hard he is. It must be painful at this point. Heās practically humping you and moaning praises while kissing you. You reach down to palm him through his (still very on) pants and you start massaging his cock.
āHannieā¦ Youāre so hard, baby. Get those clothes off and get inside me. I canāt wait anymoreā¦ā you whispered in his ear between kisses.
He groans and quickly strips down. Heās now sitting back on his heels in the bed with you between your legs and he pushes your legs open. As open as they can be and he starts staring at you while running his hand through your leg. He takes his other hand and starts stroking his cock while staring down at you.
āFuck, angel. One of these days, youāll kill me. Look at you, all fucked out from me sucking your tit and touching you. Iāve barely started with you and youāre already so wreckedā he keeps stroking himself and staring at you. You lick your lips and start pouting.
āHannieā¦ You can make yourself come on me any other day, but tonight, please, fuck me. I need you inside of me, so badā you say in your best innocent voice that you know drives him crazy.
āYou sure youāre ready for me, angel? Donāt want to overwhelm youā he says. Then two things run through your mind. One: he looks like he wants to fucking wreck you but he is still giving you the option to stop him since he knows that after the birth of your girl you both have been very careful and well, for lack of a better world, vanilla in bed due to doctorās orders and some of your fears. And two: you are the luckiest woman alive.
āPlease, Hannie. Iām ready, Iām so ready. I need you now. I need everything. Iāll give you everythingā you moan while staring back at him so he knows that you fucking mean it.
He leans over you, kisses you deeply, tells you he loves you and starts rubbing the tip of his cock on your pussy. He holds your hand above your head and stares into your eyes as he pushes himself into you, finally. Youāre both panting and giggling and kissing, like teenagers.Ā
At first, he starts slow. Long, well-timed strokes. Holding your hand and your hip in position, making sure your legs stay as open as possible for him.
āFaster, Hannie. Iām not gonna break. Pleaseā you moan.Ā
āHmm.. My angel wants to get fucked hard, huh? Seems like my angel is a little slut tonight, isnāt she?ā he said as he started speeding up and fucking you harder and harder and you moan louder and louder.
He slaps your thigh. āI need words, slut. Fucking tell me what you want. Tell Hannie what you wantā.
āFuckā¦ Hannieā¦ Iām a slut tonight. Your slutā¦ Pleaseā¦ā you said, completely and already fucked out of your mind.
āShitā¦ Thatās rightā¦ Mineā¦ All fucking mineā he says and groans. Heās getting closer and so are you.
He removes your hand from his and grabs on to your tit while his other hand is now rubbing circles on your clit. He starts sucking on your tit that he overlooked earlier tonight and keeps massaging the other. He starts rubbing your nipple and making out with your other tit and nipple. Again, getting sloppy, making the most obscene sounds.Ā
He senses youāre close. He knows, he can tell by the way you are moaning, by the look in your eyes and by the way your pussy is squeezing his cock. Heās not going to last much longer either, not like this and he goes in for the kill.
āIs my angel close? I know you are, I can feel it. Fuckā¦ Iām right behind youā he speeds up, latches back on to your nipple and for the final blow, he slightly bites down on it and thatās when everything erupts. You come with a cry of his name. Youāre shaking and panting and he doesnāt think heās ever seen anything so pure and beautiful.
He comes then with a groan and keeps whispering āI love youā over and over again.
You just lay there together, you donāt know for how long. Youāre holding him, one hand running through his hair and another running up and down his back. He lifts his head and looks at you. He then surprises you again with what comes out of his mouth.
āI knew you were gonna love that. Youāre tits have always been so sensitive, specially your nipples, angelā he starts laughing against your neck.
āI guess itās an open buffet after allā you said and you both burst into laughter still tangled together.

ĢĶĢĢ½Ć³Ģ¶ĶĢĢĶĢĢĢĢĶĢĶĢĶĶĶĶ es of regrets
So! I saw this post from @rivyx (if you like, I can untag you. Just wanna give credit where credit is due):
And I thought:
"Man. It's been a while since I broke my own heart. Oh! Angst between Geordi and Cutie? How about I make Geordi regret for making Cutie believe that they need to multiate and hide the magical part of themselves and even the Empowered world because he doesn't understand a Telepath's needs?"
Hence. This oneshot. Shout out to @moonandstarlightsposts for helping me come up with the title!
(Yes. Yes. I know. Cutie was canonically at fault, too. I just wanna focus on Geordi regretting his actions for a change.)
-
Summary: Second chances come and go. But for Geordi and Cutie, perhaps they should have let it go by.
First comes the awkwardness.Ā
Itās to be expected. A break was decided - no, needed - for the both of them afterā¦ well. No point in digging up bad memories. The two of them were heading down a dangerous spiral, and Geordi could no longer ignore the red flags. Heād been through too much to drown in toxicity and abuse again. Whether his partner realised it or not. And thatās the part that crushed his heart. A heart that Geordi painstakingly put back together with liquid gold and long nights of tearful frustrations. He told them about Ben. He told them how his ex callously disregarded his boundaries. And Cutie just -Ā
Therapy was something they agreed to during their break. Geordi needed to address old trauma that re-open like wounds and Cutie -Ā
āIā¦ I hope this isnāt me coming across as presumptuous, but one of my coworkers is a really good therapist. I think youāll like him! His name is Cam - ā
āI still have my old therapistās number. Um. Thanks, though.ā
āO-Oh! Right. Of course. I shouldāve thought of that. I justā¦ never mind.ā
That was the last text that Cutie sent. Even after they moved out of his apartment, the two continued to exchange careful messages with one another, awkwardly making sure not to step on each otherās landmines. However, as days gone by, the texts became more and more superficial: āMorning. Have you eaten?ā. āJust cereal. Thanks for checking up on me.ā āThe weather forecast mentioned a thunderstorm. Donāt forget an umbrella, ok?ā. When Cutie brought the subject of therapists to the table -Ā
The texts stopped after that.Ā
Geordi had no idea how lonely his existence truly was without Ben and Cutie. The two-bedroom apartment became too big. He cooked too much for a single person. His left side felt too exposed whenever his coworkers dragged him out for drinks and karaoke. It hurts. He has a habit of rubbing his left arm nowadays.Ā
His therapist is a kind woman, the kind that has laugh lines all over her face. Older than him, more at ease with her place in the world, unlike Geordi. She never judges him whenever he finds the courage to unravel before her. Ugly, jagged broken pieces for a heart. Gold and bitter tears for the next few months.Ā
Soon, a year passes.Ā
Something settled within Geordi then. New foundations were built. The world is a little less lonely now that he has opened up to his coworkers, reached out to some cousins on phones and slowly put himself out there again. He had fallen in love with building LEGOs recently. A hobby that happily kept him occupied while a slow, reverb version of Evil by Melanie Martinez plays in the background of the living room.Ā
It took a while, but he finally reached a point and mental headspace to put Cutie back into the equation.Ā
His therapist's words constantly echo in his head, grounding him whenever his fingertips run on the rim of their favourite mug, red with little ladybugs on the ceramic. Witty, funny, confident, mischievous and kind - Cutieās best would always outshine their worst in Geordiās eyes. Perhaps thatās why he subconsciously ignores the raising red flags the more and more they tested his boundaries. Anyway, being with Cutie brought out the best of Geordi in return, which he never even knew existed. He loved them, plain and simple. He loves learning about them and their world every day of the week. He was so happy and content whenever they were in his arms. Growing old together was something he thought about when they drove back home from his folksā. Cutie was fast asleep, with their head gently resting against the window of the car. That moment was magical in its own way.Ā
Geordi misses them. His incredible, one-of-a-kind partner.Ā
He thinks about them more often than not nowadays, wondering how therapy is going for them. Had they fallen in love with any new hobbies? Did Cutie make any new friends outside of the Department? If so, he wonders what theyāre like.Ā
Thoughts turn to yearning. Yearning turns to Geordi, picking up his phone and texting Cutie first for once.
āHey. Good morning. How are you?ā
The two of them never used to be awkward when they were a couple. Feeling hopeful, Geordi puts aside his phone as he continues about his day. Fixing himself a hearty lunch using a recipe that he canāt wait to share with Cutie and goes about doing the laundry afterwards. Itās only after his evening shower that a notification lights up on his phone screen.Ā
āHey. Iām alright. You?ā
Superficial. Thatās OK, though. Geordi is not giving up.Ā
The two resume texting every day soon enough as if the distance werenāt ever there. It makes him happy to be updated with every little thing that is going on in Cutieās life. He spams GIFs and emojis at every picture they share and they, in return, slowly start to send over recorded audio of their little laughter and quips. It makes him miss them all the more. Enough to replay those audios over and over again whenever he canāt sleep at night. During those nights, his phone would always be on the right side of the bed.
Texting eventually evolves to calling when Geordi wakes up from a rather bad nightmare. Something so vague that it slipped from the recess of his conscious as he panted for air. Without even thinking about it, he presses on a familiar number. His call is answered almost immediately.Ā
āGeordi? Why are you awake around this hour?ā
Relief floods into his very being. They once fondly tease him that, no, their voice isnāt magic. Unlike Vampires and their special eyes, Telepaths specialised in minds instead. Itās his love that makes their voice special and itās love that dispels the lingering nightmare.Ā
āGeordi?ā Cutieās voice is hesitant at the end of the line. āIs everything ok? Do you have someone nearby that you can call for help?āĀ
āNo! No, no. Iām fine.ā Comes his quick assurance. The shirt that he brought to sleep is drenched in sweat. His hair is matted to his forehead. He feels gross, and yet he doesnāt want to put Cutie on loudspeaker while he cleans himself up. āI justā¦ really miss you. So much.āĀ
Cutieās reply is a whisper, āI-I miss you too. Can I ask if thatās the reason why you called me?āĀ
āYeahā¦ had a nightmare; canāt remember what it was about. What I do remember is how you used to bring me to the kitchen, and youād make warm chocolate milk for the both of us to help. Youād then talked me through it, helped me calm me down. Did I ever thank you for that? Thank you, by the way.āĀ
āYouāre welcome. I like taking care of you. And, uh, you did thank me. Always.āĀ
Geordi lets out a ragged sigh. Those happy moments were just what he needed. āDid I wake you up? I didnāt mean to.āĀ
āNah, youāre good. I was doing some leftover documents for an assignment.āĀ
Cutie never used to stay up past midnight. They like to sleep early whenever they can due to how mentally, emotionally, and physically taxing their job as an intel extraction officer can be. Cutie often rants about how the Department inefficiently run things, especially when it comes to bureaucracy. Perhaps this is one of their new habits? Speaking of which -Ā
āHowās work treating you? Did you get that promotion?āĀ
āWorkās alright. Are you feeling better now?āĀ
Well, his heart was no longer racing, thatās for sure. But he still wants to hear their voice even through the static. āLike magic. Youāre always the perfect cure for everything.ā He waits for Cutie to laugh in that out-of-breath sort whenever he compliments them. Light and carefree.
Instead, they hum.Ā
āGlad to hear it. Are you going to try and go back to sleep?āĀ
āOnly when you are, Cutie.ā Geordi tries to flirt and perhaps coax them to rest for the evening.Ā
āDonāt worry about me. Iāll go to bed in a bit. Um. If thatās all - ā
Perhaps itās because the nightmare that he can no longer recall had something to do with Cutie. Perhaps itās because he hasnāt heard their voice properly in so, so long. Whatever it is, it gave Geordi a burst of courage. He quickly asks before Cutie can hang up, āWait, wait! Can I see you, Cutie? I just want to talk. Please?ā He swallowed thickly. āI think weāre ready to discuss aboutā¦ us.āĀ
A thoughtful silence from Cutie.Ā
āIād like that. Where do you want to meet up?āĀ
Geordiās night becomes much sweeter after that. They talk and plan until his eyes grow heavy and Cutieās documents are filed away. They even put him on loudspeaker and brought him to the bathroom so they could continue talking while they showered. God, the sounds of running water alone fill him with wants and images. He canāt stop picturing himself in that shower with them. So you canāt blame how incredibly giddy Geordi is when he finally sees Cutie walk up to the cafe the next day. They offered him a small smile as they made themselves comfortable across the table. Healthy and rocking a new fashion style when Geordi is busy absorbing every little detail about them. He could honestly stare at them like a work of art in the Louvre.Ā
āSo Iām hereā¦ā Cutie says rather unnecessarily. They scratch their cheek nervously. āYou wanted to talk?āĀ
He snaps out of a daze. Shit, he got distracted by his thoughts! For a split second, Geordi canāt help but wonder if they heard his inner ramblings. Judging by Cutieās guarded expression, he lets out a sigh of relief. It sets his heart at ease to learn about this new side of Cutie. āYeah. Thanks for agreeing to meet up with me. You lookā¦ god, Cutie. You look amazing.āĀ
āThanks! Youāre not too bad on the eye yourself.ā Cutieās smile is wider now. āWeāve practically caught up to speed with each other lives for a while now. So, this is it. Whatever you decide, Iāll respect it this time. I promise.āĀ
That assurance dissolves any doubts that Geordi might have harboured. Heās more sure about his next few words than ever before. āI still want us to be together, Cutie. That never changed. Even when we were on a break, I had no one else. I love you, even when you broke my heart. Do youā¦ do you still feel the same?āĀ
Cutie reaches out to hold his hand, which is gripping a fork so tightly. He didnāt even realise it. The moment when skin meets skin, a familiar warmth spread across his arm. Itās like sunshine thawing out the chills in his bone marrow. He lets go of the fork in favour of holding their hand and squeezes it. āMy feelings havenāt changed too. I love you so damn much, Geordi. I know I said it before, but Iām so sorry for hurting you. Words alone arenāt enough to promise you that I wonāt do it again, but Iāll make sure my actions make up for it. From now on, youāll lead where this relationship is going. Iāll followā Steely determination glimmers behind Cutieās eyes. God, they look so hot! Would his therapist finally judge him if he asked Cutie to drag him to the bathroom for a quickie? Itās been too long since theyāre in him.Ā
āGeordi? Are you ok? You look flush.ā Some of that hesitation creeps back into Cutie. Dimming that spark of fire. He panics when their hand tugs back.Ā
āYeah! Sorry. My headās a bit of a mess.ā He begins to explain. Here, he lowered his voice; his eyes lidded. āMaybe you can make sense of it? You might like what you find, Cutieā¦āĀ
āOh!ā For some reason, Cutie looks positively alarmed. A deer in a headlight. He had never seen that kind of look on their face before. Their sudden reaction threw Geordi off guard. Any lustful thoughts are completely replaced with concern now. āMaybe later. So, uh, where do we go from here? I canāt move back in just yet due to my apartment lease. Or do you want things to stay as they are right now for a little while longer?āĀ
Continue this distance between them? Geordi doesnāt think heās that strong of a man.
āFeel free to move in any time you can. My place is your home. You know that.āĀ
That gorgeous smile slowly returns. This is Cutie at their best. After that day, things begin falling into place without a hitch. Cutie is back in his life. They bring their clothes and toiletries over when their lease is up -Ā
āYou kept my mug?āĀ
āOf course I did, silly. Why would I throw it out?āĀ
āRightā¦ right. Sorry.āĀ
āCutie? Is something wrong?āĀ
āNah, donāt worry about it. Say, that recipe you bookmarked earlier, why donāt you let me take a crack at it? Iāll handle dinner tonight!āĀ
- their routines fall into one once more, and Geordi couldnāt be happier. His world is no longer filled with silence and bitterness.
Second comes the realisation.Ā
Geordi has been riding high on cloud nine ever since Cutie settled back into his apartment, into his life. Waking up to their sleeping face feels like a dream that he never wants to end. Their giggling when he rouses them with kisses is a bonus. He loves greeting the morning sun with a partner who is happy and satiated from the night before. And if Cutie is in the mood to play? Well! Heās more than happy to ruin the sheets for the third time in the span of six hours.Ā
And donāt even get him started on domestic bliss.Ā
Since Cutieās work hours are a lot more flexible than Geordiās, heās forever grateful that they always have a pot of hot coffee ready for him on the table and a sweet kiss before he dashes out for the day. If he returns before traffic picks up in the evening, the couple would either go out for a dinner date or stay at home and binge-watch a new series while they eat in the living room. They alternate in cooking and cleaning depending on their schedule, but Cutie seems to have a habit of doing both whenever they can. The coworkers that he invited over for DnD sessions would whistle and nudge him on the shoulder when they looked around the spotless apartment, praising him for scoring the perfect partner after Cutie left them with a tray of snacks and drinks. Internally, Geordi preens.Ā
When the weekends roll around, and itās just the two of them lazying together in their sweats and old t-shirts, Geordi and Cutie would spend time together by combining their new hobbies. Geordi would lose himself in another LEGO building project while Cutie reads a novel on their phone on the couch. His favourite playlists play on and on, wrapping the couple in a peaceful cocoon.Ā
That is until -Ā
Geordi blinks, back in the present, when he suddenly hears the sliding door of the balcony softly shut. He sees Cutie outside talking on the phone, their back against him. He watches them moving their free hand animatedly for a few seconds longer before focusing back on the tower that he had been building. When the sliding door shuts again, he absentmindedly asks, āHey, Cutie? What are you in the mood for lunch? Do you want to go to that Chinese restaurant down the street orā¦ā His words trail off the moment he notices the frustrated lines on his partner's forehead. Their eyes were exhausted all of a sudden. Before he could say anything, his partner flashed an apologetic smile.Ā
āWork called. Something came up. I need to step out in a bit, but I should have some time to make lunch - ā
Geordi stops them right there and then. He doesnāt want them to get more stressed out, especially when an emergency - he assumed - just happened. āNo, no. Donāt sweat it. How about you go get ready while I make us lunch? Iād rather you have something in your stomach before you leave.ā He replies, already up on his feet.Ā
Deer in a headlight on Cutie. Again. Whatās going on? āI can do it. Itās your rest day after all - ā
āNu-uh. You just get your pretty ass in the shower, alright? Iāll have your favourites ready as soon as you step out of our bedroom door again.ā Geordi assures them, but in reality? Heās so confused. They never so stressed out about cooking before. Seriously, whatās going on?Ā
Cutie eventually nods. They kiss him on the cheek and make a beeline for the bathroom while Geordi takes out a wok and spatula. Their strange behaviour remains in his mind as he makes spicy stir-fry noodles. Now that he thinks about it, theyāve been going along with everything he likes nowadays. Cooking his favourite meals, making sure the laundry is clean and folded, helping him with the LEGOs, hanging out with his friends and letting him initiate intimacy and sex every time. They laugh when he tells jokes, as cheesy as they are. Apart from their clothes and toiletries, they havenāt brought back their Digimon plushies, or any of their physical books on the shelves. They hate horror movies, but when he absentmindedly suggests they watch Saint Maud, they agree without any hesitation.Ā
Itās like theyāre a satellite, faithfully orbiting Geordiās every need and want. Whyā¦ why did he never notice that before? And when was the last time they went out to Cutieās favourite restaurant again? When was the last time they did what Cutie wanted for a change?Ā
Ah. Geordi remembers now. It was before they went on a break.Ā
Somethingās wrong with Cutie. Shit! Why didnāt he notice it before!? Was he truly caught up in his own world that he utterly neglected his partnerās?Ā
The noodles are hot and plated, ready on the table, but Geordi feels so cold and empty. Guilt was heavy in his stomach. His grin is stiff when Cutie finally emerges wearing their standard work fit. Even in black slacks and a white collared shirt, Cutie looks like a model ready for the runway. They tuck into their meal, but Geordi doesnāt have much appetite for it. So many thoughts clash with one another in his head like angry hornets. He doesnāt even know where to start or what to ask. At times like this, Cutie would slip into his mind and act as his anchor. But ever since they got back together again -Ā
āWhat time would you be coming home?ā Is what comes out from Geordiās lips, frustrated with himself.Ā
Cutie stops washing their dishes to turn around. āIf all goes well? In the evening. Probably before midnight, so you donāt have to wait up or put aside dinner for me. I can just grab something when I leave the office.āĀ
And thatās another thing that Geordi just now realised. They donāt talk about work as much as they did before. When asked, sure, Cutie would always answer him, but it was never more than a, āOh, my cases? Some old, same old.ā, āThese documents are pretty boring, actually. Something for the higher-ups to keep in their record.ā, āThe therapist I mentioned before? Oh, you mean Cam? Heās still working on the floor above mine.ā Lukewarm. Tepid. Those are the kinds of replies that Cutie would often give him before the conversation seamlessly shifts to another topic.Ā
Not once have they performed magic around him. In fact, ever since they got back together again, Cutieās voice is constantly absent in his mind.Ā
Suddenly, Geordi feels sick. He forces himself to put on a brave face, a mask that tells his partner that everything is alright, because their eyebrows begin to furrow in hesitation.Ā
And now he knows why.Ā
āCall me when you leave?ā Geordi tries not to plead. His voice didnāt crack, that good. The last thing he wants is to get the love of his life in trouble with their superiors. They never did tell him if they received that promotion or not.Ā
Itās a bittersweet victory when Cutie smiles again. āSure! Have fun with your project, baby.āĀ
They exchange a long kiss; he wonders if they find it weird that Geordi is reluctant to pull their lips away from him. He weeps and weeps into his hands when they leave the apartment. What has he done? Oh god, Cutieā¦ he didnāt mean to. He didnāt mean to drive them into cutting a part of themselves in order to make him happy. He didnāt mean to be so blinded when they made themselves smaller and smaller if thatās what they thought would make him happy. Would let them stay in his life.Ā
He didnāt mean to hurt Cutie. He didnāt mean for any of this to happen! He thought that - he had hoped they got better, not - why couldnāt they just talk - has he become Ben?Ā
Mrs Potato Head plays on and on while Geordi struggles to breathe.Ā
Finally, in comes the heartbreak.Ā
Geordi didnāt even wait for Cutie to come back. The moment he regained control of himself, he ran out with his phone and wallet. His eyes are rimmed-red, just like the setting sun behind him. He knows which streets are veiled against people like him; he just hopes he can ask for help from any Empowered folks who might be entering the Department. He has to fix this. He desperately needs to talk to Cutie. He needs them to know that he loves every part of them, that he loves the magical world as much as they do.Ā
However, when he cuts through the park, he freezes.Ā
Sitting on a bench a little further from the playground is his partner, crying in the arms of a stranger. Cracks begin to form in Geordiās heart. Heās too far away to hear what theyāre saying, but judging from how the stranger does the talking and Cutie sighs and sniffles, it clued him in pretty quickly that theyāre talking through him via telepathy. The stranger smiles sadly and offers them a handkerchief. His body language is serene, but the expression on his beautiful face is tight and worried. Is he a coworker? Another lover? Geordi doesnāt know what to believe anymore. Stricken, he watches them pat the strangerās hand and gathers up their things. Leaving him on the bench as Cutie makes their way out of the park.Ā
Itās at that moment that Geordiās phone rings. He answers the call without a word.Ā
āHey, baby. Just left the office.ā Cutieās voice is hoarse. They clear their throat. This time, they sound more like themselves again - fake and bright. āTurns out one of the interns needed a stand-in instructor for tomorrowās fieldwork. Since Iām on the way home, do you want me to grab anything?āĀ
Geordi watches them wait at the same bus stop from which he just got off. āWhy havenāt you talked to me through my head?āĀ
āā¦Geordi, Iām out right now. Can we maybe talk about this at home?āĀ
āOK. Why have you stopped ironing your work clothes with your hands?āĀ
āI-I like using your new iron instead. Whatās going on, Geordi? Did I do something wrong? Look, tell me how I can fix it, please? I donātā¦ I donāt know what I did wrongā¦āĀ
Is this how it will always be when theyāre together? Hurting each other whether they mean to or not? Acts of love turning into subservience?Ā
The weaker side of him canāt help but wonder if it was a mistake for him and Cutie to get back together again if it means new sorrows and new regrets will always sour their relationship.Ā

Please can I request Jerome Valeska with a reader who runs? Like it takes up most of her life pretty much. Thank youš
Sure! Not sure if I got it right, though. š„¹šš¼āāļø
Running
ā Pairing: Jerome Valeska X fem!Reader
ā Warnings: fluff, creepy Jerome, runner reader, date
ā Summary: Jerome asks the girl he sees at the park out.
ā Note: Sorry for the mistakes and the English. Credits to the owners of the pics. Also sorry it's kind of short. šš¼āāļø
"Ya sure are a fast little thing, aren't ya?" A low raspy voice spoke beside Y/n as she kept running her usual path, headphones on.
It wasn't unusual that someone tried to chat with her or make her stop running... it was Gotham after all and most people had a reason to try and approach youā mostly bad reasons, though.
"Did ya hear me, doll?" the voice spoke again, now getting bit closer, followed by deep heavy breaths and a gloved hand that snatched her headphones off her head.
"Way better now.. why ya running?" he asked, making her now look in his direction to attempt and take her property back.
Her eyes scanning the man who was trying to run next to her... his ginger hair being messy and his skin a bit pale if she ignored the scars which decorated it. It was clear that he wasn't someone who run every day even though he was keeping his chin up and chest out to act cool.
"Just routine, I guess" Y/n replied not even knowing why. It really was a bad idea doing small talk with strangers in that city... even if she already met that man.
The young woman never talked to him, she just passed by a couple of times and reciprocated his smile politely... never stopping her training.
"Sounds boring, sugarplum" the ginger commented, rubbing his cold nose while continuing to try and keep her pace "Could we go slower... little ol' me ain't the same as he used to be" he commented with a throaty laugh.
His gloved hand grabbing her sweatshirt to make sure she would get slower and not run away from him.
"So.. what's ya name, dolly?" the stranger asked with a smirk on his face, his hazel eyes traveling along her body... admiring silently
"'M Jerome" he added after she didn't replied.
His gaze was quite intense and confusing, since his eyes were big and round.. looking quite innocent and puppy like while the glimpse in his pupils was almost scary.
"Y/n" she murmured, glancing back towards him, not really wanting to keep talking but just continue running on her own.
That man looked like trouble and she really wasn't trying to get into any... expecially not the level of troubles she could get there.
"Ya free tonight? We should go eat something together" Jerome commented smoothly, his smirk becoming bigger when she stopped suddenly; her eyes remained on his body as she thought quickly at a solution to get ride of him.
"8pm at the diner down the street and you let me continue on my own" she quickly proposed, reaching out for her headphones in an attempt to get them back. Receiving just a weird hand kiss from him and a pull that made her body hit his well built body.
"Deal, doll... see ya later then" the man rasped out, placing a bit wet kiss on her cheek before positioning the headphones back on her so that she could run away.
Leaving him on his own there, even if she felt his lunatic stare on her all the way back to her house.
It was a date then.

Just a Tap
Synopsis: Before they were Peter and Bashful they were strangers with an annoying (semi-traumatic) meet cute.
Pairing: Frat!Peter x Fem!Reader/OC
CW: None really, car accident? maybe if you can count that. Swearing.
Reblog or comment in place of liking this post, pretty please.
Pulling out of ESU parking structure six was a hell fest. There was a constant flow of traffic that seemingly never let up, and a ton of pedestrians that would either wait for all the cars to pull out before crossing the path, or simply used the heavy traffic flow to their advantage. (Y/N) pushed her head back into her seat frustrated, why was New York traffic such a nightmare. The highway traffic started to let up and she sat straight up breathing a sigh of relief.Ā
āFucking finally.āĀ
She looked right and then left before letting off her gas, letting her car roll. Out of nowhere a skateboarder rolled in front of her, causing her to barely tap him with her car. But still she felt terrible. She slammed on her breaks, her hands flying up to her mouth. The boy slammed his hands on the hood of her car, throwing his hands up. He was quite obviously laughing at the situation, and did not seem injured at all. Placing her car in park and throwing her flashers on she basically threw herself out of the vehicle, the skateboarder had already started walking away tossing a look over his shoulder. (Y/N), however, was frozen in place.Ā
āI am so sorry, are you okay? Do you need a ride?ā She yelled after him, looking over her shoulder to make sure no other cars were leaving behind her.Ā
āIām good! Just wanted to play it up a little bit.āĀ
Ā He laughs, turning, his skateboard in hand. āWe should both watch where we are going next time.ā He yelled back smiling. āYouāre too pretty to be hitting boys with your car.āĀ
(Y/N) shook her head, swallowing the tears that had built up in her eyes. How could he just be joking about this. Then she saw the shirt: yellow with a red Theta Tau logo on it with āESU est. 1930.ā stitched below it. Frat boys. Suddenly she felt less bad for tapping the bleached blonde with her car.Ā
āBut I skate through here the same time everyday, maybe donāt hit me next time okay?āĀ
āHow about I make sure I donāt miss next time?ā She yells back getting into her car, now annoyed that he found the whole interaction funny when she was trying to be sincere. The blonde smiled in response, she watched him turn and skate away. She checked both ways multiple times and pulled onto the road heading to pick her friend up from work.
-Ā
Fraternity row was lit up in all different colors, the first football game of the season had just ended and the whole street was celebrating the victory. M.J. wrapped her arm around (Y/N) as they walked down the street.Ā
āCome on you seriously canāt still be hung up on the douchebag that skated out in front of you. He was in the wrong not you, he was jaywalking..jay..skating? Doesnāt matter.ā The red head shook her head, her curls shaking. āHeās a dick for that and Iāll tell him if we ever see him. Now please relax and party. Please, it's the first big frat crawl of the semester.āĀ
āFine..yeah, youāre right.āĀ
āI know I am.ā M.J. kissed her friend's head, and started to say something else before being cut off.Ā
āHey! Watson! Hey!ā
M.J. and (Y/N) turned their heads quickly trying to spot the voice that came blaring towards them. A head of blonde hair was in front of them in seconds. A lanky guy stood before them engulfing M.J. in a hug which she gladly returned. āOh my god. Osborn you scared me, hey this is my roommate and friend (Y/N). (Y/N), this is Harry the guy I was telling you about.ā
Harry Osborn was a name you were all too familiar with. M.J. had been in love with him since summer orientation when they met and got stuck in the elevator together. Theyād been talking ever since.Ā
āHey nice to finally meet you.ā
āYeah you too.ā Harry smiles at her. āHey, why donāt you guys come into Theta and party?ā He offered up, pointing in the direction of the bright yellow door contrasting against the white siding of the huge house.Ā
āLook at that line, no thanks.ā (Y/N) laughed.
āNo no itās my frat, well Iām a pledge but I can get yāall in come on.ā
-
(Y/N) stood against the back wall of the party, a black plastic cup in hand as she sipped the vodka sprite mixture out of it. If she could fold in on herself she would, she didnāt even like frat crawls. She only went because M.J. begged her, and she didnāt want to pass up the opportunity to hang out with her. However, M.J. was nowhere in sight. Osborn had stolen her away as soon as they got into the house.Ā
āWell..look who it is.ā A voice pooked around the corner at her, she jumped slightly. āOh come on donāt be bashful. You already hit me with your car.āĀ
It was the blonde guy from yesterday, he leaned against the wall next to her. Smiling at her slightly. āI said I was sorry, you walked out in front of me.ā
āI did yeah sorry. But itās really rude of you.ā (Y/N) stomped her foot wanting to crawl in a hole and cry. āI didnāt mean too hi-ā
āNo not that. I mean not asking for my name..it was the least you could do after all.ā
Her brows furrowed, mouth forming a smile āoā. Her eyes feel to the ground and she bit the inside of her cheek.Ā
āPeter Parker..and you?ā
ā(Y/N) (Y/L).āĀ
Peter smiled and slid down the wall sitting on the floor, waiting for her to join him.Ā
āNice to meet you (Y/N)ā¦again.ā
Wrote this very quickly this morning because the lab is empty and have no one coming in until later.
