Summary: Taken from your timeline with your adopted daughter was bad enough. Now you have to deal with a man that looks exactly like the one you lost. Complete with the trauma.
Consider Donating: Here
The void was a rough terrain for anyone. A desolate wasteland where everything came to die, and no one lived for too long. This was where she had found herself and her adoptive daughter. When Laura had brought new survivors to the hideout, she almost could not believe it. He was here; Logan had returned.
But as she hid in the shadows while that man in the red suit continued to yap, she quickly realized that this was not her Logan. Not only was he younger, without the advanced adimantium poisoning that herâs did, but everything about him was off. Sure, her lover drank like a fish, but not like this. He never did it to forget entirely. And he would also not be caught dead in yellow spandex.
Laura made herself known to the group, but her adoptive mother did not. She just continued to stay in the dark, where she was most comfortable. Whoever this red suited merc with an endless supply of witty comments was, she did not care for him. Her eyes just stayed on the man that looked so eerily like her lost love.
âThatâs- thatâs her, Logan. Thatâs X-23. Wait, if youâre here, thenâŠâ Wade gasped dramatically, âis NightMaere here?â
The way he said it, it almost sounded like excitement. But the woman refused to reveal herself just yet. Logan grumbled behind a gulp of whiskey, âwho the hell is that?â
âYou didnât have one of her in your world?â Deadpool was now utterly confused. But the Wolverine just shook his head, and took another swig.
Upon hearing this, she just slinked further back into the shadows, and went into a dark corner. She was not sure which would have been worse; for him to have one of her and possibly have lost her, or for her to have never existed in the first place.
Either way, she did not care to stick around.
It was not until nightfall that she was seen again. And that was only because Laura had come to seek her out. The younger girl crouched down to where the older woman was sitting. Following her eyes, Laura could not help but smile as she saw that she was looking at the new Logan.
âYou should go talk to him.â She suggested, knocking her shoulder into herâs.
âYeah, cause that worked out so well for you.â Her mom chuckled.
âSeriously,â Laura smirked, âit would do you both some good.â
Looking at the young girl that she had to raise, the woman smiled. Everyday, no matter how long it had been, she saw more and more of Logan in her. A brief kiss was pressed to Lauraâs head, before she walked out into the open night, and towards the bonfire.
âKid, will you just let me be?â Logan grumbled, behind the lip of his bottle.
âIâm not Laura.â She clarified, taking a seat on the same log. There was a long period of silence shared between the two of them. Neither one knew quite what to say, or who should talk first.
âDid you⊠um, did I really not exist in your universe?â The question on her mind was tentatively asked.
Logan took in a deep breath, that he released in a long sigh. âItâs more complicated. You were around but we were never a thing.â
âAh, so we were just friends?â
âYeah. Not that we didnât try to be more.â Now, she was confused.
âWhat happened?â Another deep sigh.
âYou got corrupted by your power. Literally, all the nightmares that you could make starting haunting you, even though you tried not to. It got to the point where you would have these fits and would send visions into peoples minds. You never meant to. It was just the side effect of your condition. Eventually, you had to be confined to- well, it was basically a cell. One crafted by Magneto, and reinforced by Chuck. You died in there.â
The pain in his voice, the tears brimming his lashes, the anguish he lived with. âYou had to kill me, didnât you?â
Not trusting his voice, Logan nodded. His throat tightened as he let out a shaky exhale. âWe got one dinner before you died. One small date when you were lucid,â he spoke before clearing his throat.
âWasnât too long after that everything went to shit.â They both stared ahead at the crackling fire.
âWe were married, ya know. Not legally, but Texas has common law marriages. You were my lifeline throughout the end of mutants. Until Laura came along, you were the single most important person in my world. Then she did, a little Logan, and we promised each other that no matter what, no matter which of us died, we would do whatever was best for her. I got to show her your Canadian roots, but we moved around a lot. Trust me, teaching her to hid her mutant ability was not easy. That child was feral for a time.â She joked, thinking back on the mutantâs childhood.
âYeah? She seems like a spitfire. Not afraid to speak her mind.â Logan commented.
âShe got that from you. Or rather, our Logan. There were definitely times that I asked if I could do this. Then I remembered how I made a vow to myself that she wouldnât become an orphan again.â Finally breaking her eyes away from the fire, she looked at Loganâs face that was also turned towards her.
That face that was so familiar, but so different. This Logan had wrinkles in places that herâs did not. But he also had smooth skin in places herâs did not wither. But those eyes. Those were the same. She hoped, just in her mind, that she would be able to find those eyes no matter where in the multiverse she was.
âYou did a good job raising her. You should be proud.â He muttered, a soberness taking over that was not there before.
âThanks,â came her soft reply. âListen, I need to get some sleep and check up on her. I hope you do whatâs right tomorrow. Iâd hate for Laura to be proven wrong.â
A gentle hand tapped his suit covered knee a couple times before heading back to the building that their ragtag group had claimed as their own. One final look was thrown over her shoulder, where she caught Logan watching her leave. She smiled, and continued on anyways.

Alter Ego
Summer:Mom, can I dye my hair?
Weiss:Nope. Find another way to rebel.
Summer:Itâs not about rebelling. Thereâs an underground open mic concert in Mantle. Iâm tired of wearing hoods and masks as a disguise. It gets in the way of my singing.
Weiss:âŠ.
Summer:What?
Weiss:Youâve seen me in a black wig and red eyes and thought you had to dye your hair? Make an alter ego. *points to closet*
Summer:Really!?
Weiss:Yeah. Knock yourself out. Find what works.
Summer:Yussss! *dives into closet*
Two hours passed by and a lot of clothes begin pile up.
Jaune:*walks in* Hey Iâm back. Brought coffee.
Nora:And friends~
Ruby:Technically family. Iâm here to raid your fridge.
Ren:Iâm here to make sure Nora doesnât.
Weiss:Can you stop Ruby? *sips coffee*
Ren:One is hard enough.
Ruby:Whatâs with the fashion storm? Coco call you for a show?
Weiss:My daughter is currently in the closet trying on her fortieth altar ego disguise for an underground concert.
Jaune:So in the end, I did have a child with Bleiss.
Weiss:You and her had many things, a child is not one of them.
Jaune:Not for lack of trying.
Weiss:*red* Thatâs for sure.
Ruby:You two are gross.
Summer:Youâre all gross if you ask me!
Weiss:Are you ready yet!? You have an entire audience now.
Summer:Oh yeah! This is the one! Iâm definitely feeling it!
The door slides open and Summer jumps out. Time itself felt a thousand times slower as a bright red ponytail came into view. Stunning green contact lens caused coffee to go down poorly, choking Weiss while the others felt frozen.
Summer popped out with the widest grin. She wore a small black leather jacket over a dark green shirt with yellow nerves running down it from the left shoulder. Black tights were worn under a matching studded miniskirt that paired will with green and yellow laced black boots. Summer never felt cooler in her life!
WRNJR:..
Summer:Pretty awesome right!? Iâm usually not into skirts but i figured if Iâm trying to be unrecognizable, this is how to do it! Oh! Maybe I need punk rock gloves or something. How are feeling about the red wig and green hair combo?
Jaune:Umm-
Summer:Gonna be honest, I think I look pretty cute. Never tried these colors together likeâŠit works! *grinning*
Ruby:Are we married to the idea of the ponytail?
Summer:Itâs for head banging on stage! Itâll probably come out a little later or if I get a headache. Dad, how do I look?
Jaune:âŠ*smiles* Like youâre ready to wow the world.
Summer:Hehe, right!? I can see why you like red so much auntie. Iâm feeling pretty confident right about now. *stands proudly*
Ren:Like youâre invincible?
Summer:Yeah! You get it.
Nora:*smiles warmly* Youâre going to need a name.
Weiss:Be better than me your aunt.
Ruby:Bleiss was a good idea.
Weiss:No, it was the only idea and it stuck.
Summer:WelpâŠWinter is taken. How about Autumn?
WRNJR:Try againâŠ.
Summer:Wow, tough crowd. Hmmm.
Weiss:âŠ.Gild. Like the process.
Summer:Aah, thatâs nice. Has a sense of irony to it considering this is a disguise! Not to mention the yellow. Gild, people can chant that! Now for a last name for the announcersâŠ*rubs chin*
Nora:JNRR
Ren:Youâre asking for her to get caught. Especially if you want her to spell it like I think you do.
Jaune:âŠGo with Arkos. With a âkâ
Weiss:!? Jaune, are youâŠalright with that?
Jaune:*nods* I never really got to use it. Might as well finally be a code name.
Summer:Isnât using something close to your last name a little risky?
Jaune:Trust me, nobody will get it.
Summer:I guess thatâs true if I spell it like you said. Heh, I kinda always wanted to use your surname in something. Schnee gets bothersome.
Weiss:Agreed.
Summer:And hey, itâs kinda like Iâm still honoring you too auntie! I canât use Summer, but Arkos is pretty close to Arc-Rose.
Ruby:Thatâs definitely one way to look at that name. Hehe, I appreciate the sentiment.
Gild:Gild Arkos. Hmm, not half bad. Letâs make it a test run and i can work out the details if this goes well. Oh this concert is gonna rule! I can finally go all out and sing songs i donât get the chance to. I gotta go find my journals and pick! Thanks guys! Love ya. *runs off*
âŠâŠ..
Weiss:Iâm sorry this spiraled so quickly. You can take the coffee back and raid the fridge.
Ren:I donât think anyone wouldâve imagined out of all the makeup combinationsâŠDo you think we could convince her to change contacts?
Nora:Iâm sure when she stops caring about what she should sing on a âproper stageâ this phase will end.
Jaune:Itâs fine guys. Sheâs happy. Besides, if sheâs like her mother, itâll be a random occurrence. That being said, I never realized our kids might only know Pyrrhaâs image through her statue.
Ruby:We donât exactly have many photos together, do we? She we show her?
Jaune:Maybe another time. Let my girl be a rockstar.
Nora:You just donât want your daughter to see you in a dress.
Jaune:And?
Weiss:*rubs his back* I guess the world really is full of surprises. You sure youâre alright?
Jaune:Cut me a little slack. I may not be invincible but I know how to roll with the punches. *grins* If you think I need cheering up though, Iâm sure Bleiss has some ideas.
Weiss:*blushing*âŠShe might.
Ruby:Eugh. Raiding your fridge. Câmon you two. *walking away*
Ren:Ruby, donât you literally sleep with her brother at his office for fun?
Ruby:And that right there is why Iâm helping Nora get passed you so she can help eat everything. Youâve drawn your line in the sand.
Nora:Honestly Iâm interested in the idea of changing my wardrobe for laughs. Remember my goth phase? That was fun.

AAAHHHH your headcanons are amazing !! Do you have more to tell us on the bullies? Maybe Trent, or Tom? I would love to hear about them too!!!
you're flatterin me lmao. alright lets see. this was supposed to be short. its not. youre gettin Trent Tom & Ethan. And i'm barely holding back from dumping abt Russell too bc goddamn everyone did him dirty. anyway enjoy.
Trent Northwick đŹ
The Basics:
he got laid exactly once and made it 3/4ths of his personality.
yeah he's got a bit of an ego, or so it seems. but he's arguably still one of the better folks on campus.
he's also an actor, part of the drama club, something he takes very very seriously.
wants to make it to hollywood someday. make it big. be adored.
and he is a Very good actor, believe it or not.
"i'm so hot" this, "I'm a star" that.
a begging to be believed.
tough crowd at bullworth, you know? not his fault nobody can recognize pure talent.
but at the end of the day, its not even a convincing enough performance to fool himself.
Expanded Lores:
his home life aint the greatest. not the Worst, but not good.
father aint in the picture, he had his grandmother for a moment, but she died, as old people tend to do, and he was on his own with his mother.
and his mother. hrms. after a certain point she just got too tired to really give a fuck about him or anything he did.
he helped out with finances by working part time. as they did struggle with like. food insecurity. keeping the lights on and the water running. all that jazz.
at least they had a house. in a slum, but still.
much like wade and co., his grades were ass, and he didnt feel like concussing himself on the field over Balls.
with not many options on his plate, he turned his gaze to his one passion and form of escapism: the big screen.
the man can memorize entire films in ~3 watches at most.
has the shittiest notes known to man but he's still good.
yes he was part of the drama club as mentioned before. and yes, he was romeo in that one play.
and yes, he got Really into the role. and Really into 'juliet.'
was he accosted by his buddies for taking a fonder interest in a nerd? also yes, but when pressed he'd laugh it off.
'it's not his fault there's prettyboys everywhere to those with eyes to see.'
their fling was cut short when earnest caught them in the library tangled together and he chastised cornelius for. well. 'getting sloppy' with one of their sworn enemies.
many such cases. but luckily for trent he caught the eye of another boy: kirby olsen, star of the field.
i can talk about those two for ages but i'll try to keep it brief here.
in short they were the only ones who took eachother seriously and recognized the effort they put into their respective passions.
they had their hangups still, most notably being kirby's own internalized homophobia, but clung to eachother like moss to a stump all the same.
trent actually told his bully boys about his relationship, top secret shit. but believe it or not that was chill.
long story short they made a blood oath they'd always have eachothers backs, cause as ive said before, they aint got much else.
that, and, well. it's not like they werent unfamiliar with such bonds anyway. between troy's questioning and certain other things, what happens in the trenches stays in the trenches.
the trenches being the various Ditches around, usually the school parking lot.
yeah none of these boys really care abt getting dirty they usually took cover in them.
this earned them the nickname 'gutterslime' from the preps.
funny story: trent once pulled a muskrat out of a particularly wet ditch. named it Bucky II and held it up for his friends to see.
the rat then bit him and ran away, of course.
final thing take these two songs that fit him. 1. 2. moving on.
Tom Gurney đ§ż
(CW: abuse/stalking mentions)
The Basics:
alright this one might be a stretch but hear me out.
he doesnt live with his parents, just his crazy ass brother.
his paranoia? comes from them and alll their stunts.
that trauma and fear's wormed under his skin and ofc it reflects in like. most of his worldview.
hard to trust anything or anybody when your own parents turned out to be monsters ya know?
but he still tries to trust his friends.
that blood oath meant sumn to him.
if only they'd just listen to him a bit more sometimes.
Expanded Lores:
tom is what youd call legally emancipated. in other words he went thru the courts and got divorced from his own parents and doesnt need any guardian's permission to get a job enroll in school n shit etc etc etc.
this was hell.
for one they didnt want him out of their vise. for another they Damn sure didnt want him under the same roof as his disgrace of a brother, not after they sent him off to that boarding school.
yeah tom didnt grow up in bullworth and his brother kind of kidnapped him. but it was justified.
as such, he was kind of an oddball amongst the bullies, being one of the youngest, if not The youngest addition to their group.
this all went down his freshman year, two years prior to ingame events.
regardless they did accept him wholeheartedly. he's got his own attitude and Bite.
they even included him in the blood oath. which was Very significant to him.
practically solidified them as his Brothers. his new family. etc.
sidenote: his actual brother is the townie Gurney. his deal was he dropped out and just never went home because it sucked. he's got a few screws loose but he's a good guy. he's also like 20something.
anyway tom's a horror nut yeah. always was. likes junji ito, texas chainsaw massacre, that sort of thing.
he was actually in a creative writing club working out his own creepypasta-esque stories lmfao.
earned him the title of creep. sometimes got him smacked.
he Also likes radiohead but shhhh.
sigh. his parents Really didnt let him go easy.
in fact they refused to accept the court's orders.
came up, watched him, for a time.
he thought he'd just be experiencing sleep paralysis, seeing shadows from the window.
if only. no. they Wanted him back.
they got arrested thankfully. finally. gurney spoke of moving again but tom didn't want to leave his friends behind.
anyway. absolutely horrid upbringing aside, tom was a pretty decent guy, largely.
yeah he's been through a lot, but it toughened him up, or so he thinks. if nothing else it's hardened him somewhat.
bullworth was a shithole for many, but it was probably the only place he felt really free.
on a lighter note. damn this boy loved bmx tricks.
liked bikes just as much as the greasers really.
wasnt uncommon to see him at the park on the ramps practicing his stunts.
didnt wear protection nope who needed that.
thats for girls and he aint a girl. he's rawdogging life already.
you can tell how that went by his face alone.
usually gurney cooked bacon n eggs to help him feel better n shit.
fav food yaknow. poached especially. extra crispy bacon.
i got a song for him too dw. boink
Ethan Robinson đ„
The Basics:
he's arguably one of the most put together of the bunch.
or at least, he knows what he believes in and he's sticking with it.
it's all self-empowerment to him. discipline and whatnot.
he's still a hooligan, but that's just the way of the world. to turn the other cheek, to not assert yourself? that's weakness.
they'll thank him for showing them the way, someday.
they'll know respect. they'll know strength.
they'll see.
Expanded Lores:
the home he comes from has suffered some hardships. but he didnt have a bad upbringing, per se.
loving parents, strong father, they only want to see him succeed.
some things just cant be helped. like the shithole neighborhood they're in.
but at least he met his lifelong friends there.
the boys pile up on his couch to watch cowboy bebop on a semifrequent basis. lol.
his place was a safe haven when trent's home wasnt available for movie night. and movie night was Important.
this boy has a massive collection of flicks, on that note.
most of which are either kung fu, samurai, or anime related.
yeah his obsession runs deep.
one might even call it a special interest.
he's got katanas on his bedroom walls and shit.
absolutely heartbroken he cant bring them on campus.
but he makes do with his fists, of course.
he was lucky enough to join an afterschool martial arts club in his elementary years. unfortunately it shut down sometime in middle school and he hadnt been able to find another since.
he doesnt remember all the moves, but he still has his Belts.
he also has a very fat orange cat named Buddha.
morning tradition is to rub his belly for luck every day.
not a hard task as that cat is frequently splayed out on his back.
or in somebody's lap. the boys frequently pass him around like a potato during movie night.
admittedly he really likes animals. feeds strays and whatnot.
volunteers at shelters. usually on weekends.
breaks his heart when he cant save em all.
anyway he does meditate and Often.
usually under an ice cold shower pretending its a waterfall.
sometimes perched precariously on the roof of some building.
how does he get up there? parkour.
yeah in his quest to be a ninja he picked up some tricks like Scaling Buildings and Long Jumps.
he's Very hard to knock off balance.
sometimes he can be seen just chilling on top of the boy's dorm when he wants some peace and quiet.
the others accompany him up there sometimes but usually they back out from fear lol.
tom's generally fine with it though. he's used to heights.
funny pair of alleycats they are.
anyway aside from his.... particular views on pushing folks around, and his attitude most of the time. he's a nice kid.
honestly he's got some of the best grades of the bullies lmfao.
music blast
that took me all night i hope u like it lmao. these boys. shakes my fist. their dynamics amuse me.
requests are still open but i may close them soon

ykw actually I am angry + disappointed w them. I've been pushing how I feel aside and trying to make it my own fault so it's all contained but I think theyve just been mean. and they really should know me better ik I try to pretend I don't expect more from them so I feel less hurt when they do things that upset me but we've been friends for years by this point. like come on.
#just got home and went to put my shit away but my flatmate was in the kitchen and i got suddenly so mad i had to walk back out#not going to do or say anything while im this upset. i need to be a lot calmer before i can even be in the same room as her#like okay. so originally it was just the two of them getting drinks and theyd rather it was just them bc i dont drink. thats cool#it wouldve been difficult for me to join them after work bc travel. and ik theyd done this before just the 2 of them and had fun#i can fully respect that its why i said no and stuck by that decision when she asked again#but to not mention she was taking the day off work and btw i just found out that BOTH of our other old flatmates joined in too#to not mention that they were travelling that entire distance and that it wasnt just drinks it was a whole day out together#thats just mean. why wouldnt you tell me that why did none of them say anything.#and the fact they did the exact same fucking thing last weekend too i didnt know about that at all#like i need to stop trying to justify it. im allowed to feel unwanted and excluded bc thats exactly what theyre doing.#im tired of feeling like other people dont want me around. i know i can be difficult and annoying sometimes. but im really not that bad#and we're meant to be friends!!!!!! like youre supposed to like your friends. and want to spend time with them. or at least i do#and yeah everyones annoying sometimes thats just part of being alive ur supposed to tolerate it if ur friends#im allowed to want to feel like im wanted. im allowed to want ppl to care abt me. that shouldnt be too much to ask for#but the overwhelming message im getting at the moment is they dont want me around. and when i am around them i feel like they dont listen#to me and that they dont really care how i feel unless it directly involves them or theyre responsible for it#i feel like they dont see me as a real person that exists. only a version they have in their heads and they base all their assumptions and#decisions off that version instead of directly communicating with me. and constantly avoid me under the guise of 'giving me space'#when im upset or having a difficult time and most need support from other people. i just feel really unseen#and ik that part of how i feel IS exacerbated by insecurity and depression. like they do care to some degree#but also a lot of it is evidenced in the way they act towards me. mainly my roommate bc shes the person i interact with most#and personally i find the most direct ways of showing u care abt someone are showing up for them. and making them feel seen#and maybe not everyone feels the same way. but thats how it works for me anyway#so to repeatedly exclude me and avoid acknowledging that ive been having a difficult time is the opposite of that to me#which is the point im trying to arrive at... sorry ik ive probably said similar things repeatedly the last few weeks but i feel like its#crystallising a bit like this is the core reason why im so sensitive and reactive atm and why i got so upset by it#idk. not tonight bc im still very emotionally raw but maybe tomorrow if im calmer i should explain that i was upset + why to her#i avoid doing that so often when im upset bc i dont think theres much point in having a conversation abt it unless u expect some kind of#resolution from it. or if you want an apology but idrc abt being apologised to the crucial thing is what theyre going to do different#and i love her but shes very resistant to changing her behaviour bc of other ppl being upset by it. and like i said before she has

Thinks oh so hard abt the spiraling upwards clan founders, especially the birchclan founders. Silly lil kitties who's pasts are drenched in blood with the primary regret of not drawing it sooner

pairing: park sunghoon x fem!reader
synopsis: in which married couple park sunghoon and park y/n are on their way to court to divorce when they suddenly get into a car crash, losing their memories entirely. over time, they start to fall inlove with each other all over again.
genre: angst, exes to lovers + strangers to lovers (ynhoon are soulmates your honor!!) fluff
âYou are the most immature person I have ever met!â You shout, âI shouldâve never married you in the first place!â
âFinally, something we can both agree on.â Sunghoon seethes, and you just know the taxi driver is uncomfortable by the way heâs awkwardly looking in the car mirror.
The both of you crossed your arms stubbornly, huffing like little children who just threw a tantrum.
The only reason why you and Sunghoon were getting a divorce in the first place was because he was so busy at his office, inheriting the CEO position from his father just months earlier.
You felt lonely, and it really didnât help that Sunghoon didnât give you any reassurance because he was too tired.
âAish, why is this red light taking so long?â Sunghoon angrily mumbles underneath his breath.
âWell maybe itâs your negative energy.â
âCan you be mature once in your life?â Sunghoon snaps back.
The taxi driver, very annoyed with the both of you, continues driving when the light turns green.
Then all of a sudden, a car rams through the intersection, crashing directly into the taxi.
You scream, and Sunghoon instantly puts his arms around your frame, shielding you.
Then, all goes black.
For a second, you could see the day that you and Sunghoon got married.
It was a Sunday, at the beautiful church nearby Sunghoonâs parents house, and you were wearing what Sunghoon called the most beautiful dress heâd ever seen. It was plain white, but long and so beautifully designed that it didnât need any other colors.
When you arrived at the altar, Sunghoon had bursted into tears. Some of his friends, Jake, who had traveled all the way from Australia to attend, patted the boy on back as comfort.
That day was nonetheless the happiest day of your life. You donât know if Sunghoon feels the same, and looking back, it feels like such a shame that youâre throwing it all down the drain.
âïč
BLEEP. BLEEP.
Your body jolts awake, head practically killing you with the amount of ache it produced as you tried to sit up.
âPatient is up!â The nurse says before walking into your room with a tray. âGood morning, are you feeling okay?â
You raise your hands to touch your head, which was bandaged by some soft tissue material.
âWhere am I?â You say, looking around the room. You spot a unknown man groggily getting up, and for a second, you canât help but notice how handsome he was.
That was besides the point, though.
âYouâre in the hospital.â The nurse says, smiling softly. âDo you remember the events leading up to this?â
âI.. I donât remember anything, actually.â
The nurse still smiles at you reassuringly. âItâs alright lovebug, it seems as though you two have lost your memories.â
âUs two?â You question.
âYes.â She points to the guy on the other bed right next to you who just looked like he woke up from death. He too looked badly injured like you, having a broken hand and bandage around his head. âPark Sunghoon-ssi was in the same car as you and got injured as well.â
Park Sunghoon. Why did that name sound so familiar?
âWell since you're both awake," she said, relief evident in her voice. "You've been in an accident. Do you remember anything Sunghoon-ssi?â
Sunghoon shook his head slowly. "No... I don't remember anything."
The nurse nodded, sympathy in her eyes. âIt's not uncommon for victims to lose their memories after a traumatic accident. Memory loss can be temporary. Just focus on resting for now.â
The nurse leaves the room, leaving you and Sunghoon alone.
âShe said we were in the same car together,â you say slowly. âBut I really canât remember what you are to me.â
Sunghoon shrugs. âMe either. All I remember vividly is my parents. You mustâve been an acquaintance of mine, then.â
You nod, stretching your limbs. âYou got more injured than me.â
He lets out an airy chuckle, lifting his broken arm which was in a cast into the air. âYep, broken arm.â
You want to remember so badly what had happened leading up to all of this. What were you doing? Where were you going, and why were you with this Park Sunghoon guy in the first place?
âWhat did you get for breakfast?â
Sunghoon breaks the silence between the two of you, and you slowly look down at the tray in front of your bed.
âUh, the nurse got me tiramisu and oatmeal.â
âTiramisu?â Sunghoonâs mood automatically brightens up. âCan we please switch sweets? I really love tiramisu.â
You laugh at his childlike behavior, but nod anyway. âIâll bring it to you Sunghoon, wait.â
You donât know why, but it feels so right saying his name. Sunghoon mustâve felt the same way, because he swore his mouth went dry at you calling out his name.
You carefully make your way out your hospital bed, making sure not to accidentally detach any monitors that were attached to you. Grabbing the tiramisu cup, you make your way over to Sunghoon, whoâs already shaking in excitement.
Then you make your way back, opening the lid of your oatmeal bowl.
âI may not know what happened in the accident,â Sunghoon says. âBut I know this tiramisu is so fucking good.â
You shake your head, laughing at his words. âYah Sunghoon, you think we were best friends before all of this?â
âMaybe.â He mutters, the mascarpone cheese of the tiramisu leaving a mark on the side of his lips.
âWell our humor is alike.â You say. âWould explain why we were in the same car together. Maybe we were going out to lunch.â
The rest of the day was spent with Sunghoon and you cracking jokes then and there, the awkwardness of the two of you being strangers quickly faded.
âïč
The next day, you were given tiramisu once again while Sunghoon was given cookies.
You descended from your bed, once again, and gave the tiramisu cup to Sunghoon while you grabbed his bag of cookies.
âYou know whatâs funny?â You say, biting into the warm chocolate chip cookie.
âWhat?â He says, although itâs muffled from the amount of tiramisu heâs stuffed into his mouth.
âYah, you gotta stop doing that, itâs gross.â
Sunghoon sticks his tongue out at you, which makes you giggle.
âWeâre both Parks, isnât that funny?â
âHuh,â Sunghoon looks up at the ceiling, thinking for a brief second. âPark Sunghoon and Park Y/N. That is funny.â
Maybe both of your humors are broken because you hit your head too hard during the crash, but even though you were at the hospital, youâre glad you have someone like Sunghoon to keep you company.
âDo you want to watch the stars with me tonight at the balcony?â You ask the boy, who nods softly.
âIâd love to, actually.â
And thatâs what the two of you did. By the time it hit 10pm, you two tiptoed out to the balcony, making sure to not let any of the night nurses see you.
âWhoaaa, itâs beautiful.â Sunghoon says, letting his broken arm lean against the railing. âWhy didnât we do this sooner?â
You smile, leaning your head on Sunghoonâs shoulder.
âSunghoon.â You say, voice barely above a whisper.
âYeah?â
âIâm not sure what we were before the accident,â you stop for a second. âBut Iâm glad we knew each other.â
Sunghoon turns his head to look down at your face, his expression morphed into a genuine smile. âIâm glad we knew each other too Y/N.â
That night, you slept the most compared to the other nights at the hospital. In your dreams, you see Sunghoonâonly instead of being at the hospital bed right beside you, heâs in the kitchen, wearing a black suit.
âYou look nice today.â
âThank you baby.â Sunghoon leans down to give you a kiss on the lips. âIs that tiramisu?â
You nod, your eyes full of love. âOf course, youâve been working so hard so I decided to make your favorite.â
He wraps his arms around your waist, letting the two of you swing back and forth slowly. âThank you my love, I seriously donât know what I would do without you.â
You woke up in a cold sweat, the dream feeling all too real.
âWhatâs wrong?â Sunghoon says, and you swore your heart almost leaped out of your chest, not expecting the brunette boy to be awake.
âItâs 2am, why are you even awake?â You say croakily, hands coming to rub your tired eyes.
âCouldnât sleep.â He shrugs. âHey, I had a really weird dream just now.â
âMe too.â You say, âyou were in it.â
Sunghoon raises an eyebrow, but doesnât further question it. âYou were a lawyer in my dream, you just graduated from Seoul University. We bought a house, and you told me you wanted to continue with your career.â
At least his dream was somewhat normal, you think. I canât just tell him I dreamt of us being together and being all lovey dovey. Heâd be thrown into a coma!
âAh, mine was similar.â
Nice save Y/N.
Sunghoon suddenly gets up from his bed, deciding to sit at the dining table the nurses had brought out for the two of you yesterday night.
âCome sit with me.â
You slowly creep out of your bed, sitting on the empty seat next to Sunghoon.
Suddenly, youâre hit with a sudden pounding headache.
âYouâre the worst, Sunghoon!â You scream on the top of your lungs, âI hate you! I hate you!â
âStop screaming!â He grabs your arms gently, eyes directly looking into yours. âY/N-ah, stop it.â
âSo Iâm Y/N to you now?â Your voice breaks. âNo more baby or love? Am I just another person to you Sunghoon?â
âOf course not, why would you say that?â He pinches the bridge of his nose, taking in a deep inhale. âLetâs just talk about this calmly, okay?â
âWhatâs there to talk about? You are never home, youâre always cooped up in your office! We might as well get a divorce!â
Sunghoonâs hold on your shoulder makes you snap out of your daze.
âHey, you okay?â He says concernedly, âyou were breathing heavily.â
âWhat?â You gasp. âYeahâyeah, Iâm okay. I just think I had a flashback.â
âReally? What was it?â
You donât want to tell Sunghoon that it was the two of you fighting. Why did you even mention divorcing in the flashback? Were you and Sunghoon something more than just friends?
âJust the crash.â You say. You want to tell him the truth, you really do, but youâre not sure if these were hallucinations from how hard your head was hit during the trauma or if they were actual flashbacks.
âWell, Iâm here.â Sunghoon whispers reassuringly. âIâll always be here. We survived a car crash together anyway, weâre kinda bonded to each other.â
You laugh, smacking him on his shoulder softly. âYouâre insane.â
âMaybe.â
âïč
âDo you remember what your passion was before all of this?â Sunghoon asks, peeling his orange with his injured hand.
âI havenât really thought about it,â you say, âl think I really wouldâve liked becoming a mother. I love kids, the thought of them makes me happy.â
âI think you would be a great mother.â Sunghoon says quietly. âEven though we donât know each other much, I can tell youâre loving.â
You look down at your lap, trying to suppress the bright smile forming at the corner of your lips.
âThanks Hoonie.â
âHoonie?â
Your eyes widened. âIâm sorry! Did I make you uncomfortable? I shouldâve notââ
âItâs okay Y/N,â he chuckles. âItâs fine. I like it.â
You canât help but laugh along with him. âOkay.â
The next few days go by quickly, with you and Sunghoon already warming up to each other.
You were both comfortable enough to speak your thoughts freely around one another, no matter how silly or ridiculous some of them seemed.
When the nurses brought you two breakfast, Sunghoon almost dropped his fork in shock.
âThey gave me tiramisu.â He says, eyes glistening with joy. âThey finally gave me tiramisu.â
âI donât know why youâre so excited.â You snicker jokingly. âYouâve been eating my tiramisu this entire week.â
He turns around to look at your tray, which had a bag of snickerdoodle cookies on it.
With shaking limbs, he makes his way over, handing the tiramisu cup to you and swapping it with your cookies.
âI thought you hated snickerdoodle cookies, Hoon?â You ask, eyebrows furrowed.
âI do.â He admits. âBut youâve given me your tiramisu all week, I wanted you to have mine this time.â
Your heart swells at that, and you point your spoon at him accusingly.
âYah, is this because you want my chocolate pudding at dinner?â You joke.
âPffft, what? Nooo.â He quickly defends himself. âBut if youâre willing to shareââ
âShut up Park Sunghoon!â
âYes maâam!â
âïč
You donât know why, but youâre starting to feel giddy whenever you talk with Sunghoon.
Your palms does this thing where it sweats profusely, and your tongue feels like dried sandpaper.
Thereâs no way you like Park Sunghoon, right? Youâve barely known the guy for two weeks, so why was the heart racing at the thought of him?
âIâve convinced the nurses to get us two bottles of coca cola,â Sunghoon says, practically jumping up and down as he entered the room.
âReally? Out of all the drinks you couldâve persuaded them to get us, you got us coke.â
âDonât diss Coca Cola like that!â Sunghoon says, crossing his arms.
Just like Sunghoon had said, the nurse approaches the two of you an hour later, 2 bottles of coca cola in her hands. She hands one to Sunghoon, then to you.
"Enjoy." She says, smile reaching her eyes.
Sunghoon's eyes light up when he opens the bottle and takes a sip. "Ah, for some reason, this feels so nostalgic."
A little memory pops up in his head, one of him playing at the park with his mom and younger sister.
"Sunghoon-oppa! Mom says she brought us coca cola!" The young girl, Yeji, says. "C'mon! Come with me!"
The young Park Sunghoon lets his younger sister take his hand, running towards their mom who was on the other side of the park.
"What's wrong Sunghoon-ssi?" You ask, noticing how his thick eyebrows were furrowed and his grip on the bottle had tightened.
"Huh?"
"You zoned out for a bit."
He chuckles nervously, glancing around the room. "Sorry, I think I just had a flashback." He says. "Park Yeji."
"Who?"
"My younger sister." He explains. "I could see her clearly. I wonder where she is right now."
You too wondered where your family was. Maybe they were too busy to come visit you. You could briefly remember having a younger brother. Jungwon. Yang Jungwon.
"Cheers." He says, mood changing quickly. His canines shined brightly as he smiled, making him look all too gorgeous in your eyes. "To the car crash, for bringing me and Park Y/N together."
You giggle, raising your bottle in the air. "Cheers to the car crash, for bonding me with this weird guy named Sunghoon."
"Yah!"
âïč
"Is it weird?"
"Hm?"
It's 11pm, and you and Sunghoon face each other as you're both laying on opposite ends of the room.
"That we've known each other for only a few weeks and I already feel like I've known you for an entire lifetime?"
You smile at his words, shaking your head. "No, I feel the same way Hoonie."
"Would it be stupid to say out loud how much I want to kiss you right now?"
Your mouth almost drops at his boldness, but you quickly shake your head.
Sunghoon takes your silence as approval, sitting up to come over to your side.
He brushes the hair away from your face, leaning in to close the gap between your lips.
When the both of you pull away, you automatically lean in again, the feel of his lips on yours felt so right.
"I love you Sunghoon." You say as you cup his cheeks. "I don't want to fight anymore."
"I know," he whispers. "I love you. Cause even though we were both going down, we were going down together."
"I hate you." You say, a smile playing on your face. "I hate you for being the only person who I can't stay mad at."
"And I love you," he says. "For being there for me, always."
"Sunghoon."
"Hm?"
"I love you."
He smiles down at you, uninjured hand coming to hold yours. "I love you too."
âïč
"What?" You say flabbergasted.
The next morning was the date of both yours and Sunghoon's discharge, and both your families decided to come visit.
"You two were married." Your father explains, a bewildered expression on his face. "How could you not know? Was the Park Y/N not obvious?"
"I thought that was just my last name!" You say, defending yourself.
"Your last name is Yang, noona." Your little brother speaks up. It was Jungwon, the same boy you kept seeing in your flashbacks, only this time, his face looks more clear and matured. "It was before you married Sunghoon-hyung."
"You're telling me we got married and divorced?" Sunghoon says, stuttering over his own words.
"Yes son," Sunghoon's mother explains. "Well, not quite exactly. We don't know why you guys wanted to divorce, you kind of shut yourselves out when you were arguing. You didn't officially divorce yet, you got into an accident on the way to court."
That made so much sense now. The flashbacks of arguments between you and Sunghoon, the makeups after the arguments, the cute moments, everything. It started to all click in your head.
"You still share houses and everything, the lawyers had to put your case on hold because you were both hospitalized." Jungwon says. "We were here to pick you up separately, in case you weren't comfortable staying with each other."
"It's fine." You and Sunghoon both say at the same time.
"Are you sure honey?" Sunghoon's mom asks concernedly.
"Yes mom, I'm sure."
The drive home was awkward, you both drove in different cars but to the home you had bought before the accident happened.
"Noona," Jungwon calls out to you. Your parents are still in the car, looking at the scene in front of them.
"Yes Jungwon?"
"Listen, I may not know a lot about love," he says, "but I know what you and Sunghoon-hyung have is real. I could still see somewhere in his eyes that he remembers parts of you and he still loves you whether or not his memories came back or not. I could tell you love him too. I don't know why the two of you decided to divorce but I know you called me crying hysterically because of it. I just think you two needed to talk it out, without the lawyers, without the paperwork. You two are the two most stubborn people I know, but also the two most loving people I know, you wouldn't just leave each other like that."
You want to cry at your younger brother's words, tears already leaking from your eyes. "Thank you Won."
You reach your arms out to hug him, a hug that he instantly melts into. "I love you noona."
"I love you too."
âïč
"This isn't what we expected, huh?" Sunghoon says, leaning his head on the marble island in the middle of your kitchen. "This whole time I thought you were my best friend, turns out you were my soon to be ex-wife."
You laugh quietly at the irony of the whole situation. "Whatever we were in the past is in the past Hoon."
He nods. "I can't believe we were going to divorce."
"I can't believe it either."
"You know what my mom told me in the car?" Sunghoon sits up straight to look at you. "The reason I have a broken arm and you don't was because during the crash, I put my arms around yours to protect you. Isn't that funny? Even though we hated each other at that moment, my first instinct was to protect you."
You stay still at that, his words sinking into your brain.
"It's like the universe wanted us to be together." You say quietly.
"Hey Y/N?"
You turn around to face Sunghoon. "Yeah?"
"I'm glad I married you."
Even though you and Sunghoon aren't sure where you stand in terms of relationship, all you know is that you love him, and that is enough for the both of you.

nasty habits | park jisung
pairing: pervy!jisung x camgirl! reader
genre: smut, a little bit of fluff at the end
summary: what happens when you find out that your top spender as a cam girl isnât some rich old guy, but an awkward boy from your campus?
wc: 20k+
warnings: cam girl activities, usage of sex toys, cursing, loss of virginity, sub!jisung, masturbation (like a lot of it), oral sex (fem.receiving), jisung is his usual introverted self (and only loud during sex), a lot of sexualization and just overall horniness lol. lmk if i missed anything!
a/n: heeey loves! i was absolutely floored with the amount of love that my latest fic got, so here i am with another one for you. this is my first jisung fic so im excited but also nervous bc jisung is one of my biases. idk why it took me so long to write him. but anyways i hope you all enjoy this as much as i enjoyed writing it. ps; y/n is terrible at recognizing people or remembering names and iâm only putting that here bc it comes out a few times in the fic lol (sheâs just like me fr), ALSO, this is loosely inspired by BJ Alex. oh and one last thing, the idea for this fic or at least the charactersâ dynamic was inspired by this tweet.
your college days have been, for the most part, unremarkable in the best way. you pulled decent grades, had a solid group of friends, and were generally well-liked.
but despite being somewhat popular, you managed to keep a lot about yourself private.
and by that, you mean the secret life that only a handful of your closest friends knew about.
after all, being a cam girl wasnât exactly your average college hobby.
it started on a whim, born from equal parts boredom and curiosity. at first, you had no idea what you were doing. your streams were awkward, your lighting was bad, and your concept was nonexistent. but after a few months, you found your niche and suddenly, you were kind of a big deal on the platform.
granted, the website you streamed on was pretty obscure, the kind of place you could name in public, and nobody would so much as glance your way. still, you made decent money. enough to pay for your first two years of college, entirely out of pocket.
you never flaunted it, and most of your friends didnât care to pry. they only ever joked about it, like they were doing now after you casually mentioned how much youâd earned last month.
âgirl, what the hell. maybe i should start camming too,â giselle said, eyes wide as she stared at the number on your screen.
âyou say that like itâs a joke, but iâm dead serious,â karina chimed in, striking a dramatic pose in front of the mirror. âi checked my bank account yesterday and almost cried.â
âi mean, iâm not saying you should, but if you need pointersâŠâ you teased, shooting them a wink
âfor real though, youâve gotten so much confidence from this,â giselle pointed out, leaning back against the bed frame.
âoh yeah, nothing boosts your self-esteem like a 60 year old man telling you your âprincess bitsâ are so pretty he busted one in his pants,â you deadpanned, propping your chin on your hand.
âokay, they canât all be old men,â karina snorted âlike can you see their profiles or anything?â she asked, abandoning the mirror and flopping onto the bed beside you.
ânot really. just their usernames and how much theyâve spent on my channel.â
âwait, check your top supporter!â giselle said, bouncing a little in excitement.
you scrolled through the dashboard until his username popped up. the moment your friends saw how much heâd spent on you this year, they both let out a loud gasp.
âwhat in the sugar daddy is this?â karina said, laughing in disbelief. âeighteen thousand dollars? thatâs literally my entire tuition!â
âi donât get the full amount, though. the site takes a cut, then thereâs taxes and all that,â you clarified, shrugging.
âstill! thatâs insane,â giselle said, shaking her head. âhonestly, i donât feel bad about you paying for our sushi nights anymore.â
you laughed, leaning back into your pillows.
âbut arenât you even a little curious about who thisâŠâ karina squinted at the screen, âandyp4rk02 is? i need to know everything about this man.â
âi mean, of course iâm curious. but thereâs no way to find out,â you said, twirling a strand of hair absentmindedly.
âunlessâŠâ giselle said, dragging the word out with a sly grin.
you raised a brow. âunless what?â
âhaechan.â
you frowned. âwhat about him?â
âhe could probably hack into this thing,â she said with a casual wave of her hand, as if that wasnât a completely ridiculous suggestion.
âgiselle, heâs a computer science major, not a dark web hacker,â karina said, rolling her eyes.
âokay, but remember when i got locked out of my netflix? he did some tech magic on his computer and got my account back.â
âyeah, because recovering a netflix account is exactly the same as hacking into a cam site,â you said dryly.
âiâm just saying, have you seen his setup? itâs literally something out of a spy movie,â giselle insisted.
karina shrugged. âit wouldnât hurt to ask himâŠâ
you hesitated, chewing on the inside of your cheek. âi donât know, guysâŠâ
âoh, come on,â karina said, nudging your shoulder. âdonât you want to know who this guy is?â
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
they somehow managed to convince you, which was how you found yourself shivering outside haechanâs dorm, rubbing your arms to keep warm. the air was biting, and as always, haechan wasnât picking up his phone.
âwhen he opens this door, iâm kicking him straight in the balls,â you muttered, bouncing on your toes to stave off the cold. giselle was furiously rubbing her hands up and down your arms and karinaâs, trying to share what little warmth she had.
âwe shouldâve called earlier,â karina said through chattering teeth, her lower lip trembling. âhe might not even be in.â
giselle huffed dramatically. âokay, this is ridiculous.â she stepped back and cupped her hands around her mouth. âlee haechan, come out right now!â her voice echoed down the street, startling a group of students walking by.
âhaechan! get your ass down here!â you joined in, your voice cracking slightly in the cold.
karina gave a small, pitiful laugh. âhe lives on the second floor⊠thereâs no way he heard that.â
before she could finish, the door creaked open, revealing one of his roommates. you recognized him immediately but, as usual, couldnât recall his name. he was younger than you by a year and usually kept to himself whenever you visited.
âuh⊠hey?â he said, blinking at the sight of the three of you standing there like frostbitten strays. he leaned awkwardly against the doorframe, clearly wondering why three girls were yelling outside their dorm at 9 p.m. on a tuesday.
giselle, ever the charmer, broke into a dazzling smile. âhi! thank you! weâre here for haechan.â
âokay,â he said quietly, still eyeing you all with suspicion. âheâs probably in his room playing league or something.â he stepped aside slowly, letting you in.
âthank you,â you muttered as you walked past, catching the way his gaze immediately dropped to the floor when you made eye contact.
once inside, you didnât waste any time. storming up to haechanâs door, you knocked violently before pushing it open without waiting for an answer.
âwhat the hellââ haechan swiveled in his gaming chair, his startled expression melting into a sly grin as soon as he saw you. âhii, girls. to what do i owe the pleasure?â his tone shifted into his mock customer service voice as he leaned back, giving you his most charming smile.
giselle jabbed a finger into his shoulder, making him wince. âwere you jerking off, or is your phone shoved up your ass? why didnât you answer our calls?â
âsorry, i was mid-round, and my phone was on silent,â he said, rubbing his shoulder and smiling sheepishly.
karina folded her arms and sat on the edge of his bed, only to spring back up with a grimace. âugh, have you even left your room this week?â she asked, glaring at the mountain of empty takeout containers and water bottles scattered across the floor.
âitâs winter break,â haechan said, turning back to his computer and clicking out of the game. âof course i havenât.â
giselle gestured dramatically at the mess. âyouâre one step away from being in a hoarders episode, dude.â
haechan ignored her, spinning in his chair to face you again. âso, what brings such beautiful company to my humble abode?â his eyes lingered on you pointedly.
âhe only looked at y/n while saying that. wow.â giselle placed a hand on her chest in mock offense.
âsheâs not gonna suck your dick, haechan,â karina said flatly, shaking her head.
âi didnât even say anything!â he protested, deflating slightly in his chair, his pout almost comical.
âanyway,â you interrupted, rolling your eyes. âi need a favor.â
haechan perked up immediately. âanything for you,â he said with a wink, which earned an exaggerated gagging noise from karina.
you crossed your arms, leaning against the desk. âokay, first: howâs your hacking game these days?â
âeh⊠like a seven. why?â
âdo you think you could, uh, hack into angel corner?â
his eyebrows shot up. âoh, oh.â he swiveled back to his computer, clearly intrigued. âi mean, iâm not super familiar with their systemâit depends on their encryption layers and backend coding. butâŠâ he trailed off, tapping his fingers thoughtfully against the desk. âit shouldnât be too hard. why do you want me to hack them, though?â
you fiddled with the hem of your sweater, trying to look as innocent as possible. âjust⊠curious about one of my subscribers.â
giselle chimed in unhelpfully. âher top subscriber.â
haechan spun his chair back around, narrowing his eyes. âand what exactly do you want to know?â
you hesitated, glancing at karina and giselle. the truth was, you hadnât really thought this through.
âeverything,â karina said firmly, her eyes glinting with a kind of mischievous excitement.
haechan smirked, leaning back in his chair. âokay, but whatâs in it for me?â
giselle thought for a second and then grinned, throwing an arm around your shoulder. ây/n will sit on your lap while you do your nerdy shit.â
haechan shot out of his chair, clapping his hands. âdeal!â
âhuh?! i did not agree to this.â you immediately protested.
âcâmooon,â giselle said with a pout. âdonât you want to know?â
haechan patted his lap smugly. âdonât worry, baby. i donât bite.â
groaning, you finally gave in, muttering curses under your breath as you sat on his lap. he sighed contentedly, spinning back toward his computer. with a few quick clicks, he opened a screen that looked straight out of a movie just as giselle said before. lines of code and strange tabs you didnât recognize.
âhow do you even know how to do this?â you asked, leaning slightly to the side to avoid touching his chest.
âself-taught,â he replied with a shrug.
âgreat,â you muttered. âiâm trusting a bootleg hacker to invade my subscriberâs privacy. thatâs just fantastic.â
âhey, relax,â haechan said, grinning. âyouâre in good hands.â
âcan we get this over with so i can get off you?â you groaned, shifting uncomfortably on haechanâs lap.
âwhy? iâm cozy,â he said with a cheeky grin, snuggling into your back. you retaliated with a flick to his forehead.
âow!â he yelped, immediately rubbing the spot. âiâm so nice to you and all you do is hurt me.â
âyouâll cope. now, whatâs this?â you asked, pointing at the maze of numbers and codes flickering across the screen.
âthis,â he said, his brows knitting in concentration, âis me trying to break through their firewall⊠which is a lot more complicated than i thought.â
âwell, obviously,â karina chimed in from behind you, inspecting her nails, only half invested in the conversation. âthat site probably has CEOs and politicians on it. maybe one of them is your top subscriber, because who else has eighteen thousand dollars to blow on a cam girl?â
âwhat?!â haechan yelled, whipping around so fast you nearly fell off his lap. âeighteen thousand?!â
âthat was my ear,â you muttered, steadying yourself.
he cleared his throat dramatically, but his ears flushed pink. âright, sorry. anywayâoh, wait, iâm in!â
âwait, really?!â you leaned forward in excitement, your hands clutching the edge of his desk. âoh my god, thatâs so cool, i could kiss you right now!â
âplease do,â haechan replied, staring at you with wide, hopeful eyes.
âbe a man,â karina said, smacking him on the back of his head as she moved closer.
âokay, so⊠bad news or good news first?â haechan asked, his smug grin returning as he reclined slightly in his chair.
âjust rip the band-aid off,â you said, crossing your arms. âwhatâs the bad news?â
âyour top spender is smart. like, annoyingly smart. the only personal info he filled out was his gender, and for his name he used a zelda character.â
âwhat a virgin,â he added with a laugh.
âlook whoâs talking,â giselle shot back.
âhey, iâm not the one spending thousands on a cam girl who wouldnât touch me with a ten-foot pole,â haechan retorted, his tone defensive. âand for the record, i do get some action, thank you very much.â
âsure you do,â karina muttered, rolling her eyes. âanyway, whatâs the good news?â
haechan grinned like a cat whoâd caught a particularly juicy mouse. âi can get his IP address.â
âwait, for real? what are you waiting for?â giselle leaned in, her eyes darting to the screen.
âhold on.â you hesitated, guilt prickling at the edges of your excitement. âisnât this⊠a bit much? like, it feels illegal.â
giselle waved a hand dismissively. âplease. weâve come this far⊠we canât leave with just this. we already knew he was a guy. only a man would be that desperate.â
âand besides,â karina added, âyouâve been sitting on this nerdâs lap for twenty minutes. make it worth something.â
âtouchĂ©,â giselle said, nodding. âby the way, you can get up now.â
âyeah, butâŠâ you paused, shifting slightly. âhe was rightâhis lap is cozy.â
âtold ya,â haechan said smugly, shooting you a wink. âso, should i pull up his IP or what?â
you sighed covering your face with your hands, hoping it would make the shame and ethical gray area feel a little less overwhelming âugh. fine. just do it.â
haechanâs fingers flew across the keyboard, a blur of taps and clicks as lines of code scrolled rapidly across the screen. within three minutes, he sat back triumphantly.
âgot it,â he said. but then his smile faltered, his brows knitting together in confusion. âwait⊠that canât be right.â
âwhat?â you dropped your hands and leaned forward. âwhatâs wrong?â
karinaâs eyes widened as she stared at the screen. âisnât thatâŠ?â
giselleâs voice was barely above a whisper. âisnât that this dorm?â
you all stared at the address blinking on the screen. it was the exact building you were sitting in.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
âyouâve all been staring at me for the past three minutes, and iâm feeling very threatened right now,â haechan said, his voice trembling.
the three of you stood in front of him, arms crossed and glares locked onto his soul.
âwell, we just think itâs way too much of a freaky coincidence that her top spender just so happens to live here,â giselle said, her tone accusatory. âcare to explain?â
âwait, wait, wait,â haechan stammered, his hands flying up in surrender. âyouâre not seriously implying iâm the top spender, right? cause thatâs justââ he laughed nervously, ââridiculous!â
âoh, is it?â karina quipped, raising a perfectly arched brow. âyouâre always flirting with y/n and acting like a simp. whatâs a few thousand dollars for your âqueenâ?â
âoh, come on!â haechan groaned, throwing his head back dramatically. âiâm naturally a flirty guy. thatâs my thing! and where do you guys think iâd even get that kind of money?â
he gestured around the room to back up his claim. the pile of ramen cups and the stack of free campus hoodies spoke louder than he ever could.
âbesides,â he added, dropping his arms, âiâm not even subscribed to her channel. i admit i checked it out a few times after y/n told me about it, but i promise iâm not a weirdo or anything. youâre my best friend, y/n.â
his voice softened at the end, and you felt yourself relaxing slightly. haechan might be a flirt, a tease, and a relentless pain in the ass, but he wasnât the kind of person to keep something like this hidden from you.
âheâs telling the truth, you guys,â you said finally, breaking the tension.
karina tilted her head, sizing him up. âyeah, i didnât think a bum like him would drop that much money on you anyway.â she scoffed, crossing her arms tighter. âhe asked me for five dollars the other day⊠by the way, give me back my money.â
âdude, it was five bucks! let it go,â
âlet it go?â karina shot back. âi couldâve gotten a latte with that!â
âokay, okay,â giselle cut in, waving her hands to calm them down. âif itâs not haechan, who else could it be? is there anyone in this dorm whoâs⊠obsessed with you?â
you blinked, thinking hard. ânot that i know of. i mean, i donât really talk to anyone here except for haechan.â
âhow many guys live here?â giselle asked, turning to haechan.
âincluding me? 5,â he said, counting on his fingers. âbut iâm pretty sure jeno has a girlfriend... so that leaves mark, jaemin, and jisung.â
âsince when has having a girlfriend ever stopped a man from doing something shady?â karina deadpanned, crossing her arms.
âtrue,â haechan admitted with a shrug, âbut letâs be real, girls⊠all of them are full-time students barely scraping by with part-time jobs. i doubt any of them have that kind of cash to drop freely.â
âyou never know,â giselle chimed in. âisnât markâs brother the dealer on campus? maybe he borrowed some money.â
karina snorted. âyouâre forgetting mark is practically a saint. the guyâs too religious and too much of a goody two-shoes to even think about something like that.â
âokay, what about jaemin?â giselle countered. âheâs always wearing designer stuff. what if heâs secretly loaded?â
karina gave her an incredulous look. âhave you seen jaemin? heâs got a different girl drooling over his shoulder every other day. i donât think he needs to subscribe to a cam girl to satisfy himself and iâm sure all those were gifts from desperate girlsâ
âthen that leaves jisung,â you said slowly, the name clicking into place. âwait⊠isnât he the one who let us in earlier? the freshman?â
karina nodded. âoh right, the tall awkward kid. that would explain why he couldnât even look at you.â
âwait, jisung?â haechan burst out laughing. âno way. the kidâs barely in his twenties! youâre telling me he somehow scraped together eighteen thousand dollars to spend on y/n?â
âwell, he does live in this building so that makes him a suspectâŠâ giselle reasoned, tapping her chin thoughtfully.
âugh, this is getting too weird,â you muttered, pacing the small room. âare we really saying jisung might be the guy?â
âi mean, you never know,â karina said with a smirk. âquiet ones are always full of surprises.â
haechan groaned, flopping back into his chair. âthis is turning into a bad episode of CSIâ
âif heâs the top spender, that means he has a thing for y/n,â giselle said, grinning. âwe should just ask him directly.â
âabsolutely not,â you said quickly, your face heating up.
âwhy not?â karina teased. âweâre already halfway to solving this mystery. might as well get the confession.â
âno, i think this has already gotten out of control⊠you guys are too caught up on finding who it is but personally i donât care that much, iâm fine with not knowingâ
âreally, even after finding out heâs living in this very dorm?â karina asked walking up to you.
âyeah. i donât care.â you were lying and they could probably tell by your face but, surprisingly, they didnât press you.
âokay, fine. letâs go home.â
âi think we should have a sleepover. what do you think, girls?â haechan said and you responded by throwing a pillow at him as you exited the room.
âdamn, not even a thank you.â he said, rubbing his head.
you sprinted back into the room and gave him a quick peck on his cheek. âthank you!â you said sweetly.
âand clean your room, it stinks!â you yelled from the hallway.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
winter break had ended, and after coming back from visiting your family, youâd mostly forgotten about the fact that your top spender lived in one of your best friendâs dorms.
but your dismissive attitude disappeared as soon as the new term started.
suddenly, you were hyper-aware of every one of haechanâs roommates. even the ones youâd previously ruled out. like, why was jeno suddenly smiling at you from across the dining hall? and was that⊠a smirk you saw on markâs face as you walked by? certainly notâyou had to be imagining things. you were just being extremely paranoid.
âhey, gorg!!!â giselle greeted you with extra enthusiasm, practically bouncing into the room.
âyouâre happy today,â karina observed, raising an eyebrow.
âi am! i really think i cracked this case, yâall.â
you sighed, already bracing yourself. âenlighten us,â you said flatly.
karina rolled her eyes. âyou do know no one cares anymore, right?â
giselle ignored her and continued. âby the way, how were you guysâ breaks?â she asked casually before immediately cutting herself off. ânever mind, weâll get to that later. listen, i was in line for food earlier, and guess who i saw?â
when neither of you spoke, she dramatically continued, âjaemin.â
âfork found in kitchen. of course heâd be at the cafeteria during lunch,â you said, unimpressed.
âno, but listen! i said hi to him, and he flinched so hard he nearly dropped his phone. then he tried to hide it.â
âmaybe somebody sent him nudes or something,â karina said, shrugging.
giselle shook her head, leaning in conspiratorially. âno, but catch this⊠he asked if i was here alone, and when i pointed at youââshe turned to you with a wide grinââhe blushed furiously.â
you tsked, slumping back in your chair. âthat still proves nothing.â
âokay, but isnât it suspicious?â giselle pressed. âwhy would he blush that hard just because i mentioned you?â
âbecause heâs a human being with a working circulatory system?â you shot back.
karina snorted. âfor real. giselle, youâre acting like you just uncovered a government conspiracy.â
âyou guys are just blind,â giselle huffed, crossing her arms. âmark my words⊠itâs him. jaeminâs the one.â
âeven if it was him, what am i supposed to do with that information? march up to him and say, âhey, thanks for the eighteen grandâ?â
âyou should,â karina said with a smirk. âat least get him to buy you lunch.â
giselle sighed dramatically, feeling like she was surrounded by fools. âfine. donât believe me. but when this all comes out, just remember i called it first.â
âboo!â
haechanâs voice was directly in your ear, and you jumped so hard you nearly spilled your coffee all over yourself.
âwhat the hell! i almost ruined my new skirt,â you snapped, quickly checking to make sure no drops had actually landed on the fabric.
âdid you buy that with jaeminâs allowance?â he teased, a grin stretching across his face.
you responded by flipping him off, which only made him laugh as he slid into the seat next to you.
âyou heard everything?â karina asked, giving him an unimpressed look.
âhard not to,â he replied casually. âin case you didnât know, gi, your discreet voice is about as discreet as a foghorn.â
giselle rolled her eyes. âthanks for the input, hacker boy.â
âiâve already said to drop the topic,â you cut in, frustrated. âwhat if one of them hears? and! you guys are being so obvious about it⊠donât think i havenât noticed the pointed stares you keep giving to every guy from the dorm. iâm sure theyâve noticed, too.â
âweâre just trying to help,â giselle said, stabbing at her salad with unnecessary force.
âand i do appreciate it,â you replied, though your tight smile probably said otherwise, âbut iâd appreciate it even more if we all just moved on.â
your tone made it clear that the discussion was over, and the table fell into an awkward silence.
you felt a little bad about shutting them down so abruptly, but the truth was, you didnât want them to figure out who your top spender was. not because you cared about protecting his identity, exactly⊠but because you feared that, in the process, theyâd also find out the full truth:
youâd already interacted with him before.
not just casually, either. your top spender had paid for private sessions. more than once.
you still didnât know what he looked like since heâd never turned on his camera but you could probably recognize his voice. a voice that, no matter how much you tried to ignore it, had been replaying in your head ever since that night you found out he was likely a student in this university. a deep voice that had a habit of making your heart race despite your best efforts to stay professional.
âi know you said to drop it, but is it just me or does haeâs nerdy friend keep looking this way every few seconds?â karina asked, nodding subtly toward a table a few feet away.
you turned your head, catching a glimpse of jisung sitting by himself, fiddling with his phone. âmaybe he wants to sit with us,â you shrugged. âcall him over, hae.â
âyo, jisung!â haechan called, raising a hand to wave the taller boy over.
jisung froze in place, his eyes widening briefly before he hastily shoved on his headphones and scurried away like a startled deer.
you frowned, puzzled. âwhat was that about?â
âthat was so weird,â giselle snorted, biting back a laugh.
âah, heâs just awkward like that,â haechan said with a casual wave of his hand. âprobably saw me sitting with gorgeous girlsâ he locked eyes with you as he said this âand got scared.â
âanyways,â you rolled your eyes, but the slight twitch at the corner of your lips betrayed your amusement. âi have to go.â
âpart-time obligations?â karina asked, raising an eyebrow knowingly.
âpossibly,â you shrugged nonchalantly as you got up.
âcan i come?â haechan asked.
you rolled your eyes at haechanâs hopeful grin as he stood up. âyou wish,â you said, pushing him back into his seat before grabbing your bag and heading out.
your destination wasnât your dorm or the library. instead, you made your way to the small studio you rented off-campus, tucked far enough away to avoid suspicion.
the studio was modest, just big enough to fit a bed, a desk, a small bathroom, and your filming setup. the air smelled faintly of vanilla, thanks to the diffuser you kept running to set the mood. locking the door behind you, you exhaled deeply and began preparing for the night.
the routine was familiar, almost comforting. you hopped into the shower, letting the warm water relax your muscles as you mentally ran through the checklist. after drying off, you slipped into your costume for the nightâa delicate white lace dress with baby blue accents that hugged your body in all the right places.
at the vanity, you carefully applied your makeup, adding just enough to transform yourself into collette, your cam girl persona and paired with a small mask that covered your eyes and half of your nose. the wig was the final touch, a wavy style that framed your face perfectly, making you almost unrecognizable from your day-to-day self.
âletâs see,â you adjusted the camera angle to capture the bed and the soft glow of the fairy lights behind it.
you glanced at the table beside the bed, where the new toys youâd promised to showcase were neatly arranged. taking one last look in the mirror, you marveled at how different you looked.
âall right,â you muttered to yourself, glancing at your reflection one last time. âletâs get this show started.â
you hit start on your stream, and the chat immediately flooded with messages, emojis, and tips.
âhi, guys!â you greeted, your voice shifting into a higher, sweeter tone. âmissed you all so much during the break.â
the messages came in rapid-fire:
âomg colletteâs back!â
âyou look stunning as always.â
âbeen waiting for this for weeks!â
you giggled, leaning closer to the camera so that your cleavage filled the frame. âyouâre all too sweet. did you miss me that much?â
the chat practically exploded with affirmations, and the pings of tips coming in made you smile wider.
âi see you guys like the new outfit,â you teased, slowly standing to give them a full view of your legs, moisturized and shimmering under the warm light. âbut i didnât just dress up for no reason. i have a surprise for you tonight.â
you reached for the toys on the desk, holding one up for the camera. âlook what i got during the break,â you said, biting your lip playfully. âi thought youâd want to help me break them in.â
the tips surged as viewers expressed their excitement, but one notification caught your eye. andyp4rk02 has tipped $100.
you grinned, recognizing the username instantly. âhi, andy,â you said, your tone dropping to something more intimate. âyouâre late today. i thought youâd ditched me for someone else.â
a new ping followed, this time $50, accompanied by a highlighted message: âsorry ;) private livestream later to make it up to you?â
you laughed softly, leaning back on the bed. âhmm,â you tapped your chin thoughtfully. âi think i can squeeze you in on my busy schedule.â with a wink, you moved to grab one of the toys, careful not to linger too long on a single viewer.
âshall we begin?â you asked, spreading your legs slightly to reveal that you were wearing nothing underneath the flimsy lace dress.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
on the other side of the screen, jisung sat in his dimly lit dorm, his face illuminated only by the glow of his computer. heâd barely made it back in time, his breath still heavy from the sprint across campus. it didnât help that the second he clicked into your livestream, you were already spread out on the bed, teasing the camera with that perfect smile.
he adjusted his glasses nervously, a bead of sweat trickling down his temple. his heart was racing, but not from the run. no, it was from you. when you spread your legs, his breath hitched, and he felt his stomach tighten.
âyouâre late today,â youâd said, and jisung shivered. god, it was like you were talking directly to him. well, you technically were, but still.
almost as if on autopilot, he unbuckled his belt and pushed his pants down. his fingers wrapped around himself, and he leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the screen.
the angle of the camera was perfect. from his perspective, it was easy to imagine that it wasnât the pink dildo but his own dick sliding in and out of you.
âfuck,â he whispered under his breath as you slid the dildo inside yourself, your lips parting in a perfect "o" shape as you let out a soft moan.
âfeels so good,â you breathed into the camera, your lashes fluttering. âcan you make me feel good, too?â
âyes,â jisung groaned, his voice shaky as he gripped himself tighter. âgod, yes.â
your moans grew louder, your body arching in a way that made his pulse skyrocket. his brows furrowed, and he bit down on his lip, trying to keep quiet so none of his roommates would hear.
you tilted your head back, the camera catching the curve of your neck and the way your chest rose and fell with each breath. âdonât stop,â you whimpered.
as your voice came through his headphones, sultry and sweet, he muttered to himself, âso perfect. so perfect itâs insane.â
his hand moved faster, his mind filled with nothing but the image of youâso close, yet so untouchable.
he leaned closer, his breath fogging the screen for a moment. âgod⊠i can make you feel so much better than that piece of plastic,â he muttered, his tone almost resentful.
âyou donât even know what iâd do to you,â he whispered
in a minute, jisung came hard, his entire body jerking as his cum shot up and splattered directly onto his keyboard and monitor. he barely registered the mess he made until he heard the faint crackle of his PC struggling under the assault.
âno, no, noâfuck!â he exclaimed, his voice cracking as he scrambled to wipe the pc with the sleeve of his hoodie.
it was too late. the screen flickered, the image of you mid-moan freezing for a few painful seconds before the whole system shorted out with a pathetic wheeze and went black. jisung sat there in stunned silence for a moment, his hand still clutching the stained hoodie sleeve.
âshitâŠâ he muttered, not out of concern for his destroyed PC but because he was now going to miss the rest of your live.
this wasnât the first time this happened. clearly, his setup was already on its last legs from similar incidents but it still sent a wave of frustration through him.
he slumped back in his chair, running a hand through his damp hair. âguess iâll just have to catch the replay,â he mumbled, though the thought didnât satisfy him nearly as much.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
the first day of the semester loomed the next morning. you had promised yourself this was the year youâd start fresh. on time to every class, taking meticulous notes, and becoming the academic weapon youâd always meant to be.
of course, none of that happened.
you didnât hear your alarm because youâd been up until 3 a.m. doing private livestreams for your top subscribers. normally, private sessions didnât last more than 20 minutes, but andy had an uncanny way of distracting you with his playful, teasing messages, keeping you hooked well past the scheduled time.
you ran into your first class fifteen minutes late, panting slightly and trying not to look as frazzled as you felt. the professor shot you a disapproving look, but a quick apologetic smile from you had him stammering and waving you off. men are so simple, you thought smugly.
after quickly scanning the room, you noticed all the front-row seats were taken which left you with no choice but to settle near the back. you sighed and headed to an open seat in the second-to-last row, cursing your luck.
on your right sat some frat guy you vaguely recognized from the same house as karinaâs boyfriend. his name escaped you, but since he was already asleep with his mouth hanging open, you didnât bother introducing yourself.
on your left, the person was less immediately recognizable. he was hunched over, hoodie drawn tight around his face, typing furiously on his laptop. his long, slender fingers flew across the keyboard with precision, but he didnât seem remotely aware of your presence.
you cleared your throat softly, hoping to get his attention. nothing.
you tried again, slightly louder this time, but his focus didnât waver. finally, you tapped his shoulder lightly.
âexcuse me, did i miss anything important?â
his fingers froze mid-typing, but he still didnât look at you. instead, he tilted his laptop slightly in your direction, revealing a neatly formatted list of bullet points. most likely corrections to the syllabus the professor went over at the start of class.
âoh,â you said, caught off guard. âcan i take a pic of that?â
he gave a small nod, still not meeting your eyes.
you quickly snapped a photo and smiled. âthank you so much,â you said, your tone warm as you instinctively squeezed his forearm in gratitude.
you felt his entire body stiffen under your touch, his arm tense as if youâd zapped him.
âmhmâŠâ he finally muttered, his voice low and rough from disuse.
you glanced at him again, catching a glimpse of his side profile as he adjusted his hoodie. sharp jawline, glasses slightly askew, and lips pressed into a thin line as he quickly returned his focus to his laptop.
you tilted your head slightly, curiosity piqued. something about him seemed familiar, but you couldnât quite place it.
âwell, thanks again,â you said softly, giving him one last smile before turning back to face the professor.
behind his laptop, jisung exhaled shakily, the spot where youâd touched him burning.
jisung knew you were one of haechanâs friends. heâd watched you walk in and out of the dorm more times than he cared to admit. you were always laughing, tossing your hair over your shoulder in a way that made jisungâs eyes land on you unavoidably.
normally, he wouldnât even glance twice at the girls his roommates brought around. they were all the same: loud, shallow, and obsessed with their reflection in any shiny surface.
but you werenât like them.
heâd noticed it the first time you came over. how your voice was softer, more melodic, how you smelled like warm vanilla instead of the overpowering floral perfumes he hated. he remembered catching a glimpse of you bending down to grab something off the floor and how his gaze lingered too long on the curve of your legs before he snapped his head away.
since then, it had only gotten worse. it annoyed him that his brain seemed to remember every little detail about you. the way your lips always looked plump and shiny, as if youâd just licked them. how your laugh was this low, throaty sound that made his chest feel tight.
it was frustrating, how easily you wormed your way into his thoughts.
and now, here you were, sitting next to him. jisung felt trapped, his senses overwhelmed by your closeness. the faint rustle of your skirt, the way your knee accidentally grazed his thigh, the soft, almost unintentional hum you made as you shifted in your seat.
he knew it was all normal, just small, insignificant things. but to him, it felt like you were doing it on purpose. when you tapped his shoulder, jisungâs heart practically jumped out of his chest. his first thought was how warm your hand was.
his second thought was how unfair it was that you could touch him so casually.
âdid i miss anything important?â you asked, your voice sweet, your smile even sweeter.
jisung didnât respond right away. he was too busy trying not to look at the way your lips curved when you spoke. he knew if he opened his mouth, something embarrassing would come out. so instead, he tilted his laptop screen toward you, his fingers twitching against the keyboard. you asked if you could take a picture, and normally he didnât like sharing his notes but he nodded before he could even stop himself.
âthank you so much,â you said, your voice dripping with warmth. and then, as if to kill him on the spot, you squeezed his forearm lightly.
jisung felt like static electricity was zipping through his body. his skin tingled where you touched him, and he stared straight ahead, refusing to acknowledge how his breath hitched.
she doesnât even know what sheâs doing, he thought bitterly, his jaw tightening. so damn oblivious.
when you crossed your legs, jisungâs eyes flickered downward before he could stop himself. he caught the briefest glimpse of skin, the hem of your skirt riding up just enough to reveal more of your thigh, and his face flushed.
stop it, he scolded himself, tearing his gaze away.
but he couldnât help it. he hated himself for it, but he couldnât stop the way his imagination spiraled. he wondered what it would feel like if you touched him for more than a second. if your fingers lingered. if you looked at him the way you looked at your stupid phone.
his hands curled into fists under the desk, nails digging into his palms. he shifted uncomfortably, trying to will his body into behaving, but your proximity was making it impossible to think straight.
when the professor announced that these would be your assigned seats for the semester, jisung nearly groaned out loud. six months. six months of sitting next to you, of your bare legs grazing his, of your infuriatingly sweet perfume clouding his brain.
how am i supposed to survive this?
jisung clenched his jaw, his gaze flicking to the faint sparkle of lotion on your legs again.
she probably doesnât even know how many guys in this room would kill to sit where iâm sitting right now, he thought, biting the inside of his cheek.
and yet, despite everything, jisung couldnât help but feel a sick sort of satisfaction at being this close to you. like he was privy to something no one else was.
and as messed up as it was, he liked that you didnât know. that you had no idea how much space you took up in his mind.
he glanced sideways at you again, the corner of his lip twitching as you absentmindedly adjusted your skirt.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
jisung bought a new pc, but it wouldnât be delivered until the end of the week due to delays in the post office. he hated waiting. the old one had been perfect for watching your livestreams but now he was stuck with his laptop. the smaller screen didnât do you justice. everything felt cramped and wrong, your image reduced to something far too small and impersonal. it frustrated him to no end.
so, in his growing desperation, jisung resorted to something he swore he wouldnât do: borrowing haechanâs pc. at first, he only asked when he knew haechan would be out for hours, spinning some lie about needing to work on assignments that required a better setup for coding. surprisingly, haechan didnât question him. he barely seemed to care, too busy running off to hang out with you and your group of friends. lately, you all seemed closer than ever, constantly whispering and giggling amongst yourselves.
not that jisung cared, of course.
but ever since youâd started sitting next to him in class, he couldnât help but notice you even more. the way you crossed and uncrossed your legs every six or seven minutes or tapped your temple when the professor talked about a complicated topic. he hated that he was paying attention to things he usually wouldnât. it was a complete waste of time.
today, jisung was forcing himself to focus. he had an essay due tomorrow, and heâd been putting it off for way too long, distracted by you (clearly) and everything Colletteâ streams, photos, even the grainy replays he managed to dig up online. last night was supposed to be productive, but instead, heâd spent hours rewatching one of the camgirlâs older private streams. by the time he passed out, his laptop was dangerously close to falling off his bed, his boxers halfway down his legs, and his dick sore after a night of relentless jerking off.
he made his way to the library, determined to lock himself in one of the private study rooms and finally finish his work. he needed to focus. no distractions, no excuses.
but when he opened the door to the room heâd booked, all of his resolve shattered.
you were there.
your books and laptop scattered across the table, and you were leaning over, reaching for something just out of your grasp. jisung froze in the doorway, his breath catching as his eyes landed on you. or, more specifically, the strip of black lace peeking out from under your skirt.
he knew he should look away. but his body didnât seem to get the memo. instead, his eyes remained fixed on the sight, his chest tightening as if someone had sucked all the air out of the room.
his fingers twitched at his side, gripping the strap of his bag until his knuckles turned white. why are you wearing that? he thought, the question racing through his mind before he could stop it. are you wearing it for someone?
you shifted slightly, turning your head as if you sensed someone behind you, and that was enough to snap him out of his trance.
âuhâsorry,â jisung croaked, his voice cracking embarrassingly. he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and cleared his throat. âiâuhâthis is... my room. i mean, the room i booked.â
you turned fully to him, startled at first, but then your expression softened into a smile when you realized it was him.
âoh, jisung!â you said brightly, smoothing down your skirt. âi didnât realize this room was taken. sorry, iâve just been so distracted, i guess i wasnât paying attention.â
he forced himself to meet your eyes, his heart hammering in his chest. you recognized him now. during the first week of the semester, youâd seemed to be trying to place him in your mind, but he figured you finally connected the dots and realized he was haechanâs roommate after all.
âitâs... fine,â he muttered, stepping fully into the room and closing the door behind him. the sound echoed louder than it should have, making him wince. âi didnât know anyone would be here.â
âwell, i can leave if you want,â you offered, gesturing toward your scattered books and notes. âbut if you donât mind sharing, i really need to finish studying for a test tomorrow.â
jisung hesitated, his mind racing. on one hand, the idea of sharing a small, enclosed space with you was borderline terrifying. but on the other hand, the thought of you leaving made his stomach twist in a way he didnât like to think too hard about.
âno need,â he mumbled, setting his bag down at the far end of the table. âyou can stay.â
you beamed at him, and he felt a weird mix of pride and dread settle in his chest.
âthanks! youâre a lifesaver.â
you turned back to your laptop, leaving him to settle into his seat. jisung tried his best to focus on his essay, but his eyes kept drifting to you: the way you twirled your pen between your fingers, the way your lips pursed as you concentrated, the way your skirt kept riding up with every slight movement.
he bit the inside of his cheek, forcing his gaze back to his screen. his essay wasnât going to write itself, and the sooner he finished, the sooner he could escape this.
but as jisung stared blankly at the screen, the words refused to come to him. his mind was too fogged up, the image of your black lace panties flashing at him. he could still feel the phantom heat pooling uncomfortably low in his stomach.
he adjusted his glasses for the tenth time in five minutes, fingers fidgeting with the hem of his hoodie sleeve. he needed to concentrate, needed to shove every inappropriate thought out of his head and focus on the stupid essay that was due in less than twelve hours.
but every tap of your pen, every soft sigh as you read your notes pulled his attention like a magnet. he could feel his skin prickling under the weight of his own thoughts, and it was starting to make him nauseous.
you shifted in your chair, crossing one leg over the other, and jisung caught a glimpse of your bare thighs again. he wondered how soft theyâd feel under his fingers. he clenched his jaw, staring harder at the blinking cursor on his laptop. just focus. just write.
âhey,â you said suddenly, your voice soft but startling in the quiet room. jisungâs head snapped up so fast his glasses slipped down his nose.
âyeah?â he croaked, his voice coming out embarrassingly hoarse. he cleared his throat and tried again. âwhatâs up?â
you held up a book. âdo you know anything about this? itâs for my history class, but iâm kind of lost on what the professorâs looking for.â
jisung blinked at the book, trying to register the title through the haze clouding his brain. the sight of your manicured fingers gripping the edge of the hardcover didnât help his focus.
âuh⊠yeah, i think so,â he mumbled, his words fumbling over themselves. âi took that class last semester. whatâs the assignment?â
you slid your chair closer to his, flipping the book open to a highlighted section. jisung stiffened as you leaned in, your shoulder brushing against his.
he could smell your perfume better now. it made his head swim, and his palms sweat.
âhere,â you said, pointing to a passage. âiâm supposed to write an analysis on this, but honestly, itâs not making any sense to me.â
jisung forced himself to look at the page, his eyes skimming over the text even though he couldnât process a single word. your proximity was unbearable, and the way you tilted your head to look at him made him hyper-aware of every inch of space between you.
âum,â he started, his voice cracking again. âitâs⊠about, uh, symbolism, i think. like how they use imagery toââ
his words faltered as your leg shifted, pressing briefly against his under the table.
âoh, i get it now!â you said, your eyes lighting up as you turned back to the book. âthanks, jisung, youâre really helpful.â
he swallowed hard, nodding stiffly as you returned to your side of the table. his hands trembled slightly as he adjusted his laptop, trying desperately to block out the lingering warmth of your touch.
as the first hour dragged on, jisung realized heâd barely touched his essay. instead, he found himself cataloging every little thing you did, learning more about your quirks and mannerisms than the topic he was supposed to be researching.
he noticed the way you squinted slightly when reading something closely. do you need glasses? the thought struck him out of nowhere, and the idea of you wearing a pair made his throat tighten and his dick stir to life.
you only seemed to use blue highlighters and matching blue post-it notes. the monochrome dedication was oddly satisfying to watch. jisung noticed you had a habit of twirling the highlighter between your fingers when you were deep in thought, the motion almost hypnotic.
when you werenât sipping on your drink or snacking on something youâd fidget endlessly, picking up your phone, or tapping your nails on the table in an uneven rhythm. once, you opened an app but closed it just as quickly, as if scolding yourself for getting distracted. jisung smirked at that.
he noticed the way you pouted while typing, your lips forming a subtle, natural curve. every time you got stuck on something, youâd grab a blank page from your notebook and start scribbling aimlessly sometimes doodling stars or flowers in the margins, other times writing the same word over and over like you were trying to etch it into your brain.
you also had a habit of adjusting your necklace every few minutes, fiddling with the pendant as if grounding yourself. jisung wondered if it had some kind of sentimental value.
and then there was the small gasp you let out every time you found a passage you liked, quickly followed by you underlining it with almost comical precision. jisung thought it was cute, though he tried to push that thought away.
by the time the second hour rolled around, he was practically vibrating with tension. not just from the overwhelming presence of you, but from his own failure to accomplish anything.
you sighed softly and closed your laptop, stretching in your seat with a lazy grace that made his stomach flip. the movement caused your shirt to ride up slightly, exposing a sliver of skin and a tiny birthmark just above your hip bone.
jisungâs eyes widened. it was a small, and it was a flushed, pinkish hue, vaguely resembling the shape of a flower petalâor maybe a heart if he squinted.
why does that look so familiar?
he frowned, his brain scrambling to piece together the connection. it snagged at him, like an itch he couldnât quite reach. had he seen it on you before? no, that didnât make sense.
and then it hit him.
his heart stuttered as he remembered one of the streams heâd watched not long ago⊠colletteâs stream. sheâd been wearing lingerie that night, black with sheer panels, and at one point, sheâd adjusted the waistband, revealing a glimpse of a tiny birthmark right above the hip.
holy shit.
jisungâs face burned as he realized the truth, his hands clenching into fists under the table. he couldnât believe it. the girl heâd been obsessing over online, the one heâd jerked off to more times than he could count, was sitting right next to him.
he stumbled out of his seat, movements clumsy and frantic as he fumbled to gather his things. his hands trembled slightly as he zipped his backpack and he mumbled some half-formed excuse about having plans with haechan. the words tumbled out so quickly they were barely coherent. before you could even process what he was saying, let alone respond, he was already at the door, practically tripping over himself in his rush to leave.
âwhat an odd kid,â you giggled to yourself, shaking your head at his bizarre behavior.
he was strange, sure, but undeniably cute in his awkwardness. youâd always had a soft spot for guys who didnât know what to do with themselves, and jisung was no exception. there was something endearing about the way he seemed perpetually out of place, like he wasnât entirely comfortable in his own skin. but beneath the oversized hoodies and baggy sweatpants, you could tell he was hiding something.
he had broad shoulders that stretched the fabric of his clothes in a way that made you want to see more, and you still hadnât forgotten the time heâd stripped off his hoodie on that unbearably hot day. the hem of his shirt had lifted with it, giving you the briefest glimpse of his waist, narrow and impossibly toned. youâd been thinking about that moment more often than youâd like to admit.
sitting next to him in class had only amplified things. you didnât miss the way his eyes darted toward you every few minutes, his gaze lingering on your legs before he quickly looked away, as if he thought you wouldnât notice. thatâs exactly why you made it a point to only wear skirts to that class; short ones, ones that made it impossible for him not to look. it was a game, one you were starting to enjoy far too much.
you liked his hands too. he had large hands with long, slender fingers that flew clumsily over the keys of his laptop. you caught yourself staring at them during class, imagining how theyâd feel against your skin, the way theyâd grip your waist or tangle in your hair. you wondered if they were soft or if theyâd leave a pleasant roughness behind.
his glasses added to the appeal, big-framed and slightly crooked on his nose. they couldnât hide his soft, pretty eyes, though, or the moles scattered across his pale skin. every detail about him seemed perfectly crafted to make him irresistible in the most unassuming way.
but then there was the question that had been gnawing at the back of your mind, the one you couldnât seem to shake: was jisung really your top spender? your friends had been so sure, pointing out all the coincidences, and you couldnât deny that it was starting to feel like too much to ignore.
you smiled to yourself at the thought, unable to help the way your lips curled into something slightly wicked. haechan had mentioned how much time jisung spent in his room, his activities hardly a secret if you listened to the muffled sounds that occasionally slipped through the walls.
the idea made your pulse quicken, a thrill running down your spine as you considered how to take things to the next level. if jisung was your top spender then he was already yours in ways he probably didnât even realize.
you toyed with the idea of making the first move, testing the waters to see just how far you could push him. he was skittish, easily flustered, and you had no doubt that one well-placed touch or whispered word would send him into a complete meltdown.
you suspected that if you really went for it, jisung might just have a heart attack on the spot. and for some reason, that thought only made you want to do it more.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
the next time you met him in class, you decided it was time to confirm once and for all if he was into you. you dressed for the occasion, a skirt that showed just enough leg to make him squirm, paired with a low-cut top and your favorite push-up bra, the one that made your boobs look perfect. you threw on a sweater for good measure, unzipping it casually when you sat next to him, just enough to reveal the curve of your collarbones and the top of your cleavage.
âhey, jisung!â you said, your voice soft and lilting.
he barely looked at you, his lips moving in what you assumed was a greeting, but it was so quiet you couldnât make out the words. he didnât hold your gaze for more than a second, and from the way he kept staring at his laptop, you wondered if heâd even noticed the effort you put into your outfit.
you leaned in slightly, catching the faint scent of his detergent mixed with something musky. âsungie?â you whispered, your voice low and sweet.
his jaw clenched at the nickname, and his hands froze over his laptop keys. âhm?â he finally managed, his eyes flickering up to your face for the briefest of moments before darting away again.
âdo you want to work on the project together?â you asked, tilting your head innocently.
his brows furrowed as he blinked at you, his expression caught somewhere between confusion and panic. âwhat⊠what project?â he stammered, his voice shaky, his breath audibly hitching when his gaze unintentionally dropped to your chest.
âthe one he just announced,â you said, nodding toward the screen where the professor had outlined the details of the group assignment.
you watched as his Adam's apple bobbed with a nervous swallow, and he peeled his eyes away from you with visible effort. âoh⊠uhâŠâ he trailed off, biting his lip. the gesture drew your attention to just how plush and soft they looked.
âif you donât want to, itâs okay,â you said, leaning back slightly, your pout deliberate and perfectly executed. âi just thought since you helped me with my assignment last time, youâd be a good partner.â
he glanced at you again, his gaze lingering this time, as if trying to gauge your expression. your wide, hopeful eyes seemed to make his decision for him. âokayâŠâ he mumbled, the word barely audible.
âreally? yay!â you said, your voice bright with excitement as you reached out and wrapped your hands around his arm in a playful squeeze. the movement was quick, but enough for your chest to press lightly against him, the warmth of your body radiating through his hoodie.
jisung stiffened immediately, every nerve in his body firing off alarms. the combination of your softness and the faint scent of vanilla clinging to your skin was almost enough to send him over the edge. he inhaled deeply, trying to keep his composure, but the air felt thick and suffocating, and he was perilously close to letting out a moan that wouldâve humiliated him in front of the entire room.
âi promise i wonât be a burden,â you added, flashing him a dazzling smile that showcased your perfectly sized teeth. âiâll do my part, i swear.â
he nodded mechanically, his brain too messed up with the feel of your body against his and the lingering image of your lips curling into that smile. ây-yeahâŠâ he muttered, his voice cracking slightly.
as you turned your attention back to the professor, jisung exhaled slowly, his pulse racing. his hands gripped his laptop so tightly his knuckles turned white, and he realized with growing dread that this partnership might actually kill him.
when class ended, you stayed behind, which was unusual since you were usually one of the first to dart out the door. as jisung zipped up his backpack and slung it over his shoulder, he noticed you looking at him expectantly. he panicked. did he have something of yours?
jisung glanced nervously at his belongings, double-checking as if your pencil or notebook might have somehow ended up with him. but you didnât say anything. the silence stretched awkwardly until you finally stood up.
since the rows were so narrow, your movement brought you close⊠too close. jisung gulped as you stepped into his space, your perfume wrapping around him. he tightened his grip on his backpack straps.
âdo you wanna start working on the project now? i have classes every day, and my evenings are pretty busy, soâŠâ your voice trailed off meaningfully. jisung knew. oh, he knew. your evenings were reserved for livestreams. his evenings were also reserved for your livestreams. obviously, the project couldnât cut into those sacred hours.
âuh, okay⊠do you wanna go to the library?â he managed, pushing his glasses up his nose. they kept sliding down because he had to crane his neck to look at you from this close distance.
âsure! next time, we can work at your dorm. iâd offer mine, but we have a strict no-boys policy in the apartment,â you said with a laugh, then added, âthough my roommates break that rule all the time.â
âwhat about you?â the question tumbled out of jisungâs mouth before his brain could intercept it. his eyes widened as if he couldnât believe he asked that
but you didnât seem fazed. instead, you grinned. âyou know, a lady doesnât kiss and tell,â you teased, throwing in a wink that made his brain implode just a little.
as you spoke, jisungâs gaze flitted over you againâyour mannerisms, your voice, that unmistakable charisma. the longer he looked, the more it hit him like a sledgehammer to the face. how had he not recognized you as collette sooner? sure, you wore a mask on the streams, and your hair was styled differently, but it was unmistakable now. you were her. and yet, standing here in front of him, you felt even more unattainable.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
at the library again, you couldnât find a private room since you hadnât booked ahead, so you settled for a secluded table tucked into the corner of the study area. it was jisungâs favorite spot on campus, not that heâd ever admit that to you. he didnât want to look more like a loser than he already did.
youâd tied your hair up in a ponytail, and jisung wished you hadnât. the simple change opened up your neck and collarbones, exposing more skin for his eyes to betray him over. he swore he could count the faint freckles scattered across your shoulders if he stared long enough. and, god, did he want to.
jisung sighed, pressing his palms into his eyes in an attempt to reset his brain. he needed to focus. if he was going to make it through this study session, he needed to stop thinking about your freckles or how your lip gloss shimmered every time your mouth moved.
focus, jisung. he started mentally listing the least sexy things he could think of: spongebob, frogs, khaki jeans, loud chewing. he even dredged up the memory of his fourth-grade math teacher, a grumpy woman he was convinced secretly hated him. it worked, until he realized you were talking to him, and heâd been staring straight past you like an idiot.
âsorry, what was that?â he blurted, blinking rapidly and focusing in on your glossy lips forming the last word of whatever youâd said.
you tilted your head slightly, your ponytail swaying with the movement. âi said, do you want to split up the research? or do you just want to work on the same section together?â
âuhâŠâ jisungâs brain scrambled for footing, his face heating up again. âsplitting it up is fine. yeah. letâs do that.â
you smiled at him, and he swore it felt like the library got ten degrees hotter. âgreat! iâll take the first half, and you can take the second?â
âsure,â he mumbled, fumbling to pull out his laptop. as you turned back to your notes, jisung caught himself glancing at your neck and down to your cleavage again. frogs, he thought desperately. frogs. khaki jeans. loud chewing. but none of it helped.
he needed a cold shower. desperately. every time you leaned into him, jisungâs resolve cracked a little more. he was barely hanging on as it was, his left hand glued to his lap, pressing down in a feeble attempt to hide the semi heâd been sporting for the last twenty minutes.
âwhat do you think of this?â you asked, sliding your laptop toward him. your voice was sweet, your tone light and inviting, but jisung couldnât focus on anything except how close you were.
âthatâs good,â he mumbled quickly, trying to sound casual even though his throat felt like sandpaper.
âreally?â you tilted your head, eyeing him skeptically. âyou say that about everything i show you.â
âcause youâre really good at this,â he blurted out. he pressed harder on his lap, his fingers twitching in frustration.
you laughed softly, the sound making his heart stutter. then, to his horror, you gave him a slow once-over, your eyes narrowing slightly as you studied him. âyou okay? you look tense.â
âyup, all good,â he said too quickly, his voice high-pitched. he glued his eyes to his laptop, pretending to focus on the passage in front of him, though the words blurred together into an unintelligible mess. please stop looking at me, he begged silently. please.
but instead, you cocked your head, resting your chin in your hand. âyou know,â you began thoughtfully, âyou sound like someone i know.â
jisung froze. fuck.
his mind went blank, panic flooding his system. his ears burned, and he felt a bead of sweat slide down the back of his neck. did you figure it out? do you know?
âbut it couldnât possibly be,â you said, shaking your head slightly as you turned back to your notes. âyouâre too different.â
he released a shaky breath, his heart pounding so violently it felt like it might burst through his ribs. his lips pressed into a tight line as he risked a glance at you. so you did remember andy. jisung had assumed that with so many followers, even your most loyal supporter might fade into the background of your memory. but the private livestreams, the filthy words jisung had whispered that made you moan harder, all the praises and compliments he showered you withâit seemed those had stuck with you. because you remembered his voice.
âiâm gonna use the restroom really quick,â you said, standing up abruptly.
jisungâs eyes followed you as you walked away, the sway of your hips distracting him momentarily before reality snapped back into focus. as soon as you were out of sight, he groaned, his shoulders slumping as he looked down at his lap and the unmistakable tent that had formed there.
he needed to take care of this. now.
standing up, jisung winced at the sensitivity and began making his way toward the bathroom, his head down in an attempt to avoid eye contact with anyone. but just as he approached the hallway, he caught the sound of muffled voices. one of them raised, the other low and pleading. his steps faltered when he recognized your voice.
he crept closer and pressed himself against the wall, just barely peeking around the corner. there you were, gesturing wildly, your brows furrowed in anger as you stood toe-to-toe with someone jisung instantly recognized as sungchan, the captain of the basketball team.
âi told you to leave me alone,â you snapped, your voice sharp. âtexting me from taroâs phone? really? now youâre dragging other people into this? why canât you just understand that i want nothing to do with you anymore?â
ây/n, please,â sungchan said, his tone dripping with desperation. âi donât know what else you want me to do. iâve apologized a million times, and iâve cut all communication with her. i havenât seen her in months.â
he took a step closer, but you shoved him back by the chest.
âyou shouldâve done that before fucking her, donât you think?â you laughed bitterly, shaking your head in disbelief.
âhey, it didnât mean a thing to me, you know that,â sungchan said, his voice softening as he reached for your hip and squeezed. âyouâre the only one i want.â
your body stiffened at his touch, and you glared up at him. âdonât touch me,â you hissed, but he didnât move, his grip firm.
jisungâs jaw clenched. his fists balled at his sides as his eye twitched. why the hell was this guy touching you when it was clear you didnât want him to?
âcâmon, baby,â sungchan purred, leaning in dangerously close to your neck. âyou know iâm the only one who can make you feel good.â
before jisung could stop himself, he was stepping out from behind the corner. he cleared his throat loudly. the sound startled no one, so he did it again, this time pairing it with a sharp, âhey.â
his voice came out deeper than he expected, reverberating in the narrow hallway.
sungchanâs head snapped up, pulling away from your neck as he turned to look at the interruption. your eyes widened when they landed on jisung, standing there taller than usual, his broad shoulders squared.
âjust wanted to check if you were alright,â jisung said, his gaze fixed on you, his voice steady.
sungchanâs expression darkened as his grip on your hip tightened. âand who the hell are you?â he spat, his tone venomous.
jisung didnât flinch at sungchanâs hostility. his dark eyes flickered to your hip, where sungchanâs hand still rested, and then back to sungchanâs face.
âher partner,â jisung said evenly, his tone calm yet carrying a subtle edge. technically, he wasnât lying, you were his group partner. âand she doesnât look too comfortable right now.â
you glanced at jisung, your lips parting in surprise. sungchan let out a dry laugh, his hand finally dropping from your hip as he turned to fully face jisung. he towered over most people, but jisung stood his ground, unbothered by the difference in height.
âyouâre her partner?â sungchan sneered, looking jisung up and down with a smirk that screamed condescension. âyou donât seem like her type.â
jisungâs jaw tightened, but his expression remained neutral. he looked at you instead, his voice softening slightly. âyou sure youâre okay?â
your lips pressed together as you nodded quickly, your hands fidgeting at your sides. âiâm fine, jisung. really.â
but sungchan wasnât done. âjisung, huh?â he repeated, his smirk widening. âsounds familiar. oh, waitââ he tilted his head, mockingly stroking his chin. âarenât you that quiet little nobody whoâs always hiding in haechanâs shadow?â
jisung didnât react to the insult, though his nails dug into his palms. âthatâs me,â he said with a shrug, his voice still maddeningly steady. âand youâre the guy who canât take a hint and harasses girls.â
sungchanâs smirk dropped instantly, his expression hardening. âwhat did you just say?â
âyou heard me,â jisung replied, his voice low. he adjusted his glasses with one hand, his confidence only making sungchanâs irritation grow. âshe asked you to leave her alone, didnât she? or was that too complicated for you to understand?â
you blinked at jisung, momentarily stunned at his boldness. sungchan, on the other hand, took a step forward, his fists clenching.
âlisten here, you little shiââ
âstop!â your voice cut through the tension. both jisung and sungchan turned to look at you. you stepped between them, your expression firm as you faced sungchan. âi meant what i said, sungchan. this is over. stop calling me, stop texting me, stop showing up where i am. justâstop. i donât want to see you anymore.â
sungchanâs jaw tightened, his nostrils flaring as he stared at you. âfine,â he finally said, his voice clipped. âbut donât come crawling back when you realize no one else is gonna treat you like i did.â
jisung couldnât hold back the quiet scoff that escaped him, and sungchan shot him a glare before storming off down the hallway.
as the echo of sungchanâs footsteps faded, the tension in your shoulders eased slightly. you turned to jisung, your expression both grateful and embarrassed.
âthanks,â you said softly, tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear. âyou didnât have to do that.â
jisung shrugged, his face a little pink as he adjusted his glasses again. âitâs no big deal. i just⊠couldnât stand there and do nothing.â
âstill, i appreciate it. my knight in shining glassesâ you gave him a small smile.
jisungâs ears burned at the nickname, and he looked away, suddenly very interested in the floor. âha, yeah.â
you laughed lightly âcâmon,â you said, gesturing toward the libraryâs main area. âletâs continue workingâ
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
you continued having sessions for the project after class, and slowly, jisung started coming out of his shell. he still mumbled and stuttered every now and then, especially when your attention lingered on him for too long, but he was starting to hold actual conversations now. and once he got going, it was hard to stop him. heâd gush about the most random things, like his favorite video game characters or how much he hated remakes of old horror movies. sometimes, heâd pull up conspiracy theory videos about aliens on his phone, his voice picking up speed as he rambled about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
âi mean, think about it⊠how could we be the only ones in this massive universe? thatâs just statistically improbable,â heâd say, adjusting his glasses as he leaned closer to show you grainy footage of a supposed UFO. youâd nod along, amused by his enthusiasm, even if half of it went over your head.
you also learned jisung had a thing for metal music. he shyly pulled out his phone one day to show you his collection of signed albums from bands youâd never even heard of. âthis oneâs from when they did a secret show in busan,â he explained, his fingers tracing the signatures like they were sacred artifacts. âand this? their first album. impossible to find in good condition.â
âwow, youâre really into this,â you said, smirking as you scrolled through the pictures. âso... are you in a band or something?â
he flushed immediately, shaking his head. âno, no! iâm not cool enough for that,â he muttered.
you couldnât help but smile. âi think youâre cool,â you said simply, and his ears turned pink.
but jisungâs curiosity didnât stop at music or aliens. he was fascinated by the simplest things. one time, you brought a new lip gloss to classâthe kind that didnât smudge or rub off no matter what. jisung had been so impressed that he begged you to show him how it worked.
âwait, so it stays on? like, even if you eat something? how?â he asked, eyes wide as you swiped some on the back of your hand.
âeven if i kissed you right now it wouldnât come offâ
âoh⊠w-whatâs in it? do you have the ingredients list?â he stuttered, his hand coming up to his face to hide the blush on his cheeks.
you laughed. âare you serious right now?â
âyes! this is pretty cool,â he said shyly. âi need to know.â
he was, all in all, a total nerd. but you found that endearing. you liked how he could get so passionate about the smallest details, even if he didnât realize how cute he looked when he did it.
what you wanted to know most, though, was if he was really loaded. after all, someone had to be, to spend eighteen thousand dollars like that. one particular evening, while you were working on the project at a cafe, you decided to subtly bring it up.
âso... you said you tutor a lot of students, right?â you asked, stirring your iced coffee.
jisung nodded, flipping through his notes. âyeah. itâs decent money, especially before exams.â
âand you... do homework for them too?â you added, raising an eyebrow.
he hesitated, looking a little guilty. âonly when they pay extra,â he admitted, scratching the back of his neck. âbut yeah. itâs not a big deal.â
âhuh,â you said, leaning back in your chair. âyou must be really good at it to make that much money.â
âi mean, i guess,â he mumbled, avoiding your gaze. âbut itâs not that much.â
âyou sure about that?â you teased, giving him a knowing look. âbecause eighteen thousand isnât exactly chump change.â
his head snapped up, and for a moment, he looked like a scared hamster. âw-what?â he stammered.
ânothing,â you said, smiling innocently.
he went back to his notes, but you didnât miss the way his hand trembled slightly as he flipped the page. interesting.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
the next time jisung almost had a heart attack because of you was after one particularly grueling day of tutoring half of sungchanâs frat. heâd spent hours going over equations with guys who clearly had no interest in learning and had been on edge the whole time, doing his best to avoid running into sungchan himself. all the bravery heâd mustered at the library had definitely worn off.
he finally made it back to his dorm, exhausted and ready to collapse, only to freeze in the doorway at the sight of you sitting prettily on the edge of his bed, flipping through one of the XXX magazines sitting on his desk. his eyes widened, and his mouth opened to say something, but no words came out.
you noticed him and laughed at his expression. âone of your roommates let me in,â you said, your voice light and teasing. âi think his nameâs jaemin?â
jisung blinked, his brain struggling to process. âuh⊠yeah, jaemin,â he managed to stammer.
âi came to see haechan, but he wasnât in,â you explained, crossing your legs in a way jisung was so familiar with now. âso i thought iâd pay my new best friend a visit.â
his stomach did a full somersault as he realized you were talking about him. âoh⊠uhm, hiâ he said weakly, scratching the back of his head as he stepped inside, shutting the door behind him.
âhi,â you echoed with a grin, holding up the magazine. âsome interesting reading material youâve got here.â
ât-thatâs not mine,â he blurted out, his face flushing red. âitâs haechanâs. i swear.â
you tilted your head, clearly unconvinced but too amused to care. âno need to be embarrassed,â you said casually, placing the magazine back on his desk. âyouâre not the first boy in whose room iâve found porn.â
jisungâs ears burned, and he had no idea how to respond to that. ârightâŠâ he muttered, shifting awkwardly.
âyour roomâs cleaner than i expected,â you added, glancing around.
âdid you think iâd be messy?â he asked, genuinely curious.
âhmm, more like⊠sloppy,â you said, arching a brow in a way that could only be described as suggestive.
jisung swallowed hard, unsure if you were flirting or just messing with him. either way, his brain was short-circuiting. âoh?â he said, his voice coming out higher than he intended.
you laughed and leaned back on your hands, watching him with that same playful glint in your eyes. ârelax, jisung. iâm just messing with you.â
he let out a small, nervous chuckle and stepped further into the room, trying to act like your presence wasnât completely throwing him off. âso, uh⊠what brings you here?â he asked, carefully setting his backpack down.
âjust bored,â you said with a shrug. âand since youâre my new best friend, i figured youâd entertain me.â
he blinked. âentertain?â shit, he almost got hard just hearing that.
âobviously,â you said, grinning. âyouâre way more fun than haechan anyway.â
jisung doubted that, but he wasnât about to argue. instead, he sat down at his desk, desperately trying to ignore how pretty you looked sitting on his bed.
âhow about you show me how to play that game you talked about?â you asked, walking over to him and resting your arm on his gaming chair.
jisung blinked up at you, startled. âyou wanna learn how to play League of Legends?â he asked, his eyebrows shooting up.
âsure. it sounded fun when you told me about it,â you said with a casual shrug.
âuhm, okay then,â jisung said, his voice a little higher than usual as he leaned to flip the power switch on his PC. then he paused, realizing he didnât have an extra chair. âwait, let me go borrow haechanâs chair,â he said quickly, jogging out of the room.
when jisung returned, chair in hand, his steps faltered. you were leaning over his desk, your skirt riding up just enough to show him what color were your panties today. his first thought, entirely unhelpful, was how badly he wanted to bend you over that desk. his second thought, unfortunately delayed, was that you had turned on his monitor.
and on the screen, clear as day, was his account page.
âso, it was you,â you said, the tone of your voice laced with triumph.
jisungâs eyes widened, panic flaring to life. âwhatâwhat are you talking about?â he stammered, dropping the chair with a clatter.
âandyp4rk02,â you said, your voice lilting with satisfaction as you turned to face him, crossing your arms. âi felt it was you. but iâm glad to have a confirmation now.â
jisung froze, his breath catching in his throat as his brain scrambled for something to say. âiâuhâwhatââ
âyouâre not even gonna try to deny it?â you teased, stepping closer to him, the corner of your mouth quirking up in a smirk. âhonestly, i was starting to think i was crazy. but you just confirmed it.â
âiâitâs notââ jisungâs voice cracked as he tried to speak, his mouth opening and closing like a fish gasping for air.
you tilted your head, watching him struggle with an almost predatory gleam in your eyes. ârelax, jisung. iâm not mad,â you said, your tone softer now, though it didnât erase the teasing edge. âin factâŠâ you took another step closer, your voice lowering slightly. âiâm intrigued.â
âhuh?â jisungâs voice was barely above a whisper, his throat dry as he tried to process what you were saying.
âthe one thing iâm most curious about,â you said, taking a step closer, your tone casual but your gaze sharp, âis how you⊠a freshman, who doesnât seem to have a job besides tutoring, managed to splurge thousands of dollars on me?â
jisung swallowed hard, his hands tightening into fists at his sides. âi justâŠâ he mumbled, looking away, his ears burning as he avoided your piercing gaze.
âcâmon, donât be shy.â you leaned in slightly, your smirk widening. âandy wouldâve bent me over that desk over there and started spilling every single thing i asked for.â
jisungâs eyes snapped up to your face, wide with shock. how did you know exactly what had flashed through his mind mere seconds ago?
âs-sorry,â jisung stammered, looking like he wanted to shrink into the floor. âthis is just⊠are you really not uncomfortable? with me, i mean?â
âwhy would i be?â you asked, tilting your head as though the question itself was ridiculous. âiâve gotten to know you better now. i know youâre not a weirdo or anything.â
jisung blinked, staring at you like youâd just told him the sky wasnât blue. âbut iâi mean, with everything i said to you before⊠all of thatââ
âall of that was online,â you cut him off smoothly, your tone light. âand honestly? i think itâs kinda cute how much you adored me. well, adore me,â you corrected with a sly grin.
jisungâs jaw dropped slightly, his face somehow heating even more. âyou⊠think itâs cute?â
âof course,â you said with a soft shrug, your tone so casual it was almost disarming. âyouâve been sweet this whole time, even when you were trying so hard to hide it. honestly, iâm flattered.â
your lips curled into a teasing smile as you leaned in just slightly. âbut now, i want to knowââ your voice dipped lower, warm and slow. your eyes locked with his, drawing him in without effort. âhow did you manage it? the money, i mean.â
jisung swallowed, his Adamâs apple bobbing in his throat as he struggled to form a coherent response. âwell⊠uhmâŠâ he shifted nervously, one hand rubbing at the back of his neck. âi⊠saved up a lot of money since i was a kid,â he began, his voice quiet but steady as he forced himself to meet your gaze.
âi made a system,â he continued, his words gaining a bit more confidence as he explained. âi cashed a lot of favors, even in school. iâve been doing other peopleâs homework since primary, practically. alsoâŠâ he hesitated, his eyes flickering to the ground for a moment before darting back to you. âmy dad⊠he started giving me an allowance every month when i was 14, and i never really used it for anything. so⊠iâve just been saving. for a long time.â
you tilted your head slightly, clearly intrigued. âwow,â you murmured, crossing your arms in thought. the movement wasnât intentionalâor maybe it wasâbut it pushed your cleavage up just enough to make jisungâs brain stutter.
his eyes flickered down for half a second before he froze, his face turning crimson. his chest tightened, his breath shallow, because he was sure that if he so much as brushed against you right now, heâd moan like some desperate, pathetic fool.
âthatâs⊠impressive,â you added, breaking the silence, though your tone had shifted, tinged with something almost playful. âyou mustâve been really dedicated to saving all that up.â your words hung in the air, light and teasing, but your gaze lingered, as if searching for something deeper.
ây-yeah,â jisung stammered, his hands fidgeting by his sides. âi guess iâve just⊠always been good with managing money.â
âclearly,â you said with a grin. you leaned in slightly, your voice dropping just enough to send his heart into overdrive. âitâs kinda sexy, you know.â
jisungâs brain went blank, his entire body tensing as if he couldnât process what heâd just heard. sexy? he repeated in his mind, struggling not to outwardly combust. his mouth opened as if to respond, but no words came out, and the only sound was the faint hum of his computer in the background.
âyou okay?â you asked, your smile widening as you noticed his wide-eyed expression.
ây-yeah,â he managed to croak out, though his voice cracked slightly.
ârelax, jisung,â you said, stepping closer, your fingers brushing the edge of his sleeve. his breath hitched, and you couldnât help but smile at how utterly helpless he looked under your gaze.
âi-i am,â he stammered, but the way he gripped the desk behind him for support said otherwise.
you laughed softly, tilting your head as your hand slid up his arm, fingers ghosting over his bicep before trailing down to rest lightly on his chest. âsure you are,â you murmured, leaning in so your lips were just inches from his ear. âyouâve been nervous since you entered the room.â
âi⊠iâm not nervous,â he said, his voice cracking slightly.
âoh, really?â you teased, letting your hand slip under the hem of his shirt. your fingertips grazed the warm skin of his stomach, and he jolted, sucking in a sharp breath. âbut youâre trembling.â
ât-thatâs notââ his words were cut off when your other hand came up to brush the hair out of his face, your touch gentle yet firm as you tilted his chin up to meet your eyes.
âyouâre so cute,â you whispered, your thumb lightly grazing his jawline. his eyes widened, his lips parting slightly.
âyouâve been so sweet to me, sungie,â you continued, your voice dropping lower. âhow could i not want to thank you?â
ât-thank me?â he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.
you didnât answer right away. instead, you leaned in, pressing a featherlight kiss to his cheek, so close to the corner of his mouth that he let out an involuntary whimper. âmhmm,â you hummed, your lips brushing against his skin as you moved to the other side, leaving a trail of soft kisses along his jawline.
jisungâs breathing was ragged now, his chest rising and falling rapidly as your hand slid further up his shirt, your nails grazing lightly against his ribs. âis this okay?â you asked softly, your lips hovering near his ear.
ây-yeah,â he managed to choke out, his voice trembling.
âgood,â you murmured, pressing a kiss just below his ear, then another on the side of his neck. his hands gripped the edge of the desk so tightly his knuckles were white, and he let out a shaky breath, his head tilting slightly to give you more access.
you smirked, trailing your lips back up to his cheek, stopping just short of his lips. âyouâre so quiet now,â you teased, your fingers lightly tracing circles on his stomach. âno more stuttering?â
âi⊠i donâtâŠâ jisung panted, his words trailing off as your lips brushed against the corner of his mouth.
âyou donât what?â you asked, pulling back just enough to meet his dazed gaze. his eyes were half-lidded, his face flushed, and his lips parted as he struggled to catch his breath.
before he could answer, the sharp buzz of your phone vibrating broke the moment. you blinked, startled, and jisung let out a shaky exhale, his head dropping back against the wall in relief⊠or frustration.
âhold that thought,â you said, your voice still low as you reached into your pocket. your fingers lingered on his stomach for a moment before you pulled away completely.
jisung watched in a daze as you checked your phone, your lips pressing together. âlooks like iâve got to go,â you said, slipping the device back into your pocket.
âw-what?â he stammered, his voice cracking again as he stared at you in disbelief. ây-youâre leaving?â
âfor now,â you said with a wink, stepping back and smoothing your skirt. âdonât miss me too much, okay?â
jisung could only nod dumbly, still leaning against the desk like his legs might give out at any moment.
âoh, and jisung?â you added, pausing at the door. he looked up, his wide eyes meeting yours. âyou might want to take care of⊠that.â your gaze flicked downward for just a moment, and his face turned a brilliant shade of red as he scrambled to adjust his shirt.
you laughed, shooting him one last playful smile before disappearing out the door, leaving him flustered, breathless, and utterly unable to think about anything else but how good your lips felt on his skin.
that night, jisung lost count of how many times he jerked off. by the time he was done, he was so spent he didnât even bother cleaning up properly. he passed out with a mess of cum smeared across his abdomen, his sheets damp and sticking to his skin.
the sound of retching woke him up.
he groaned, squinting as the sunlight poured directly onto his face. blinking sleepily, he turned his head to see haechan standing at the foot of his bed, his face twisted into an expression of pure disgust.
âlook at the state of youâŠâ haechan said, shaking his head like a disappointed parent. âseriously, dude, your dickâs gonna disintegrate if you keep going like this.â
âget out,â jisung groaned, voice hoarse. he rolled over, pulling the blanket halfway over his head to shield himself from both the sunlight and his roommateâs judgment.
âi would, but i have a message from y/n,â
jisung sat up at the sound of your name. his heart pounding as if heâd been jolted with electricity.
âshe said she canât meet you at the library todayâŠâ
jisung froze, the sudden buzz of energy deflating into cold panic. âoh,â he said softly, his voice laced with disappointment.
his mind immediately began spiraling. were you avoiding him? now that you knew he was andy, did you think he was a creep? were you disgusted? did you regret what happened yesterday? every terrible scenario played in his head as he stared blankly ahead, anxiety tightening its grip on his chest.
before he could spiral further, haechan continued, dragging out his words for dramatic effect.
ââŠshe said she wants to meet you somewhere else instead.â
jisungâs head snapped toward him. âwhat?â
âshe said she sent you the address and tried calling, but your phoneâs off.â
his eyes darted to the floor where his phone lay facedown. practically leaping out of bed, he stumbled over the blanket, barely managing to stay upright as he grabbed the phone and plugged it into the charger.
ârelax, dude. sheâs not breaking up with you,â haechan said with a smirk.
âshut up,â jisung muttered, his focus entirely on the phone as it turned back on. when the screen finally lit up, he saw your message waiting for him.
his thumb hovered over it before he opened it. the address youâd sent was for a studio about thirty minutes away from campus. jisung frowned, his mind racing again. why there? what kind of place was it? and more importantly, how was he supposed to get there?
he groaned, already planning how he could convince jeno to lend him his car for the evening. but before he could get too far into his thoughts, he noticed haechan still standing there, arms crossed and a suspicious look on his face.
âwhat?â jisung asked, narrowing his eyes.
ânothing,â haechan said, but the grin spreading across his face said otherwise. âhave fun tonight.â
with a wink, haechan strolled out of the room, leaving jisung standing there, equal parts nervous and excited, as he tried to figure out just what you had planned.
â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«â«
by the time jisung reached the address you sent, he was soaked through to the bone. his hair sticking to his forehead, dripping rainwater down his face, and his clothes clung to his skin, cold and uncomfortable. jeno had flat-out refused to lend him his car, so jisung had to take the bus. the bus stop was two blocks away, and by the time heâd sprinted there in the pouring rain, his sneakers squelched with every step.
he stood now, breathless and drenched, staring up at the old building in front of him. the windows were grimy, and the exterior had an eerie, almost abandoned feel to it. with a reluctant sigh, he pushed the heavy door open and stepped into the lobby. it was completely quiet. the reception desk was empty, and no one was in sight, so he made his way up the narrow staircase to the third floor.
when he reached the door, his heart was hammering. should he have texted to let you know he was here? was he being too forward? after a beat of hesitation, he knocked, his knuckles tapping softly against the wood.
the door swung open after his third knock.
there you were, looking impossibly beautiful. your pink flowy dress caught the light, the fabric swirling around your legs as you smiled up at him. heâd never seen you wear a dress like that before. your makeup was flawless, more than usual, and the sight made his breath catch in his throat.
"youâre really punctual," you said with a soft smile, stepping aside to let him in.
but jisung didnât move at first. his eyes scanned the space around him as he took it all in.
âis thisâŠâ he breathed in disbelief.
âwelcome to colletteâs studio.â you patted him lightly on the back, gently pushing him further inside.
âi wanted you to see it,â you continued, walking ahead, your fingers brushing against the smooth white sheets of the bed that dominated the center of the room. you glanced back at him with an expectant look.
jisung felt like heâd been dropped into one of his wet dreams. "iâmâŠ" his words faltered as his senses overloaded, trying to catch up with what was happening.
"in shock?" you giggled softly, the sound light and airy. "youâre the first person i bring here."
"really?" he asked, his backpack slipping off his shoulder and falling to the floor with a soft thud.
âyou brought your notes?â you asked, a teasing smile tugging at your lips.
"yeahâŠ" he stammered, feeling foolish now. "arenât we gonna finish⊠the project?"
your gaze locked with his as you moved closer, your presence drawing him in. his eyes flicked nervously to the neon sign hanging on the wall.
"hm, we can⊠or we could do something more fun?" you suggested, your voice a soft temptation. you stepped closer, until there was barely any space between you two.
jisung tried to keep his composure, but his body betrayed him. every inch of him stiffened as you moved into his personal space.
"i have a proposal for you, sungie," you said, your voice lowering, honeyed and sweet. your hand found its way to the back of his neck, your fingers tracing the skin there lightly, coaxing a soft sigh from his lips.
"y-yeah?" he breathed out, eyes fluttering closed for a brief moment at the sensation of your touch.
"would you like to guest on my channel?"
jisungâs eyes snapped open, disbelief painting his expression. âwhat?⊠y-you mean⊠do a livestream with you?â
he could barely comprehend what you were saying, his brain scrambling to process the words. "but you⊠you never do that⊠itâs always just collette."
you smiled softly, a glint of something mysterious dancing in your eyes. "youâre right, but for a while, iâve been thinking of changing that. i just never found anyone i trusted enough for it."
jisungâs mind was racing. he couldnât believe this was happening. you, asking him? how many times had he imagined being in this room, taking you in that very bed? but now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he was frozen. what if he wasnât enough? what if he couldnât satisfy you like you wanted?
âitâs okay if you donât want to⊠it was pretty sudden of me to ask this,â you said, sensing his hesitation. you slowly withdrew your hand from his neck, leaving him cold and wanting more.
jisung panicked. he didnât want you to think he was rejecting you, but the fear of embarrassing himself in front of not only you but a whole audience gripped him tight. what if he couldnât live up to your expectations?
but then again, the thought of you finding someone else to do this with made his stomach twist with anxiety. he couldnât back down now.
with shaky hands, he finally nodded, his voice barely a whisper. "iâll do it."
âreally?â you asked, your voice tinged with genuine surprise. you hadnât expected him to agree. jisung didnât exactly strike you as the type to willingly step into the spotlight, let alone in this particular way. this had every potential to go sideways.
but there he was, standing in front of you, his expression a blend of nervousness and determination. he looked like he was trying to keep himself from bolting.
you extended your hand toward him, watching as his gaze flickered down to it. he hesitated, just for a moment, before his much larger hand engulfed yours. his touch was clammy, his grip tentative, but it was enough.
âhave you done this before?â you asked, glancing back at him as you led him toward the bed.
he looked utterly petrified, like a deer caught in headlights, and you had to bite the inside of your cheek to keep from laughing. âa livestream, you mean? uh⊠yeah, iâveâuhâseen a few⊠i mean, no! not seen, done! wait, i meanââ
you chuckled softly, cutting off his flustered rambling. âno, silly. i meant⊠is this your first time having sex?â
your tone was so casual and devoid of any judgment that it caught him completely off guard. his entire face went up in flames. he nodded slowly, his lips pressed into a tight line.
your smile softened, and you stepped closer, placing your hands lightly on his chest. âthen, we should practice before turning the camera on, donât you think?â
he swallowed hard, his lips parting in a nervous attempt to respond, but no words came out. he simply nodded, his breaths shallow and uneven when you pushed him down onto the bed.
you reached for the straps of your dress and slid them off your shoulders, the fabric slipping down your body and pooling at your feet. jisungâs eyes went wide, his lips slightly parted as he stared at you. his gaze flickered nervously, starting at your feet and slowly working its way up, lingering on the delicate white lace of your underwear. he looked like he was on the verge of tearing up.
you moved closer, settling yourself onto his lap. the sudden pressure made him suck in a sharp breath, his hands hovering awkwardly at his sides.
âtell me what you like,â you murmured, leaning in just enough for your lips to ghost over the shell of his ear.
âw-what do you mean?â his voice cracked, and he looked up at you with wide, panicked eyes. his hands were still frozen in place, unsure of what to do, so you gently took them and placed them on your waist.
âyou can touch me,â you said softly, brushing a stray strand of hair out of his face. âwhen you watch my streams⊠what do you like?â
his whole body tensed, his fingers spreading hesitantly over your waist. he looked like he wanted to crawl out of his skin, but at the same time, he couldnât seem to look away. âuhm⊠i-i donât know⊠i⊠i pretty much like everything,â he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.
âdo you like when i use the toys?â you asked, your lips brushing against his as you spoke.
ây-yes,â he breathed, the word coming out shaky and unsteady.
âdo you like it more when i lay down or when i sit?â you asked, trailing your hands under the hem of his shirt and tugging it up.
his breath hitched as you motioned for him to stand. he obeyed, his movements clumsy as he pulled off his shirt and hesitated with his pants. his hands trembled as he pushed them down, leaving him standing there in just his boxers, his face burning crimson.
âuhmâ he started, his voice cracking. he swallowed hard, his gaze dropping to the floor before flicking back to you. âwhen you sit?â
the second the words left his mouth, you pushed him gently, and he stumbled back onto the bed with a gasp. the flush on his cheeks deepened, spreading to the tips of his ears, as he looked up at you with anticipation.
âgood,â you murmured, your fingers trailing along his chest. âthen letâs see if you like this more.â
the sight of you straddling his lap made jisungâs throat go dry, his mouth parting slightly as his breath quickened. was this really happening? was he actually about to lose his virginity with the girl he had spent countless nights fantasizing about? every inch of him buzzed with nervous energy, and for a fleeting moment, he thought he might actually cryâhappy tears, of course, but still tears.
before his mind could spiral further, he felt the soft press of your lips against his. the sensation was so unexpected and overwhelming that he whimpered without meaning to. the sound wouldâve embarrassed him any other time, but he was too lost in the moment to care. his lips parted instinctively, allowing your tongue to slide into his mouth, deepening the kiss.
your fingers threaded into his hair, massaging his scalp, and a low moan escaped him. the warmth of your touch was intoxicating, but then your hips shifted, brushing against the hardness in his boxers, and jisung gasped into your mouth.
âshit,â he whispered, his voice shaky as his hips jerked up in response, pressing himself against your core. the friction drew a needy, broken moan from you that he immediately wished he could record and replay for the rest of his life. his head fell back slightly, breaking the kiss.
âhow does that feel?â you murmured, grinding your hips against him again. âhm?â
âg-good⊠so⊠goââ his words trailed off, his eyes snapping open as he caught you unclasping your bra. the sight of you now bare from the waist up making him forget how to breathe.
heâd seen you topless before on your livestreams, but this was something else entirely. now, you were right in front of him, real and tangible. your breasts were perfect, even better than his wildest dreams, and his hands twitched on your hips, desperate to touch but unsure if he even had the right to.
âgo ahead,â you said softly, as if youâd read his mind.
jisung hesitated, the thought flashing through his mind: am i even worthy of this? but before doubt could take hold, you grabbed his hands, guiding them to your chest.
âfuck,â he muttered under his breath, his fingers trembling as they cupped the warm, supple flesh. the softness beneath his palms made his head spin, and he instinctively squeezed, earning a quiet hum of approval from you. âso⊠perfect,â he said, his voice barely above a whisper, shyness seeping into his tone.
you smiled at him and leaned in closer, pushing your chest into his hands. his thumbs grazed over your nipples, and you bit your lip, the simple action making his heart feel like it might pound out of his chest.
âyouâre doing so well, sungie,â you praised, your words wrapping around him like a warm blanket. he felt his confidence grow just a little, his hands becoming bolder as he continued to touch you, mesmerized by how soft and warm you were.
âc-can iâŠ?â he trailed off, his lips brushing against your collarbone as he spoke.
âgo ahead,â you encouraged, and his mouth descended hesitantly, leaving a tentative kiss on the curve of your breast. the feeling was so new that he couldnât stop the soft groan that escaped him.
jisung pressed his lips against your skin again, this time lingering a little longer. he felt the soft rise and fall of your chest beneath him, and it was mesmerizing. the warmth, the way you smelled faintly of vanilla, and the soft sighs you let out as he kissed along the curve of your breastâit was too much for him, and not enough all at once.
you tilted your head back slightly, giving him more room, your fingers still tangled in his hair as he kissed lower. his tongue darted out, shyly tracing your skin, and he heard you hum in approval. the sound sent a jolt straight through him, and his hips involuntarily bucked up into yours, pressing against your core.
âthatâs it, sungie,â you murmured, your voice like velvet, guiding him. âyou can touch more if you want. i donât biteâ
the teasing lilt in your voice made his entire face flush, but it also spurred him on. he let one hand wander, sliding up your side hesitantly before it cupped your other breast. his touch was still timid, his thumb brushing over your nipple experimentally. when you gasped softly and your hips shifted against his, jisung nearly lost it.
âdoes that feel good?â he asked, his voice barely audible, shaky and full of nerves.
âmhmm,â you nodded, your lips ghosting over the shell of his ear. âyouâre doing so well.â
the praise made him braver, and he leaned back slightly to look at you. your hair was slightly mussed, your lips parted, and your eyes were hooded as you gazed down at him. you looked like a dream, like something heâd only ever dared to imagine in the privacy of his own room.
jisungâs breath came in shallow pants as he watched you. your skin was soft, and your scent filled his senses, making it impossible for him to think about anything else.
âtake these off too,â you murmured, your fingers tugging lightly at the waistband of his boxers.
his entire face burned crimson as he nodded, his hands shaking slightly as he hooked his thumbs under the fabric and began to slide them down. his heart was pounding so hard he thought it wasnât normal, but the thought of stopping never even crossed his mind.
you leaned back just enough to give him room, watching as he pushed the boxers down his hips, his movements awkward and nervous. once he kicked them off completely, he sat there, completely bare before you, his hands fidgeting at his sides as he avoided your gaze.
âhey,â you said softly, reaching out to tilt his chin up so heâd look at you. âdonât be shy. youâre perfect, sungie.â
his eyes widened slightly at your words, his lips parting as if he wanted to say something but couldnât find the words.
âyouâre really cute when youâre flustered, you know that?â you teased, leaning in to kiss him again. this time, the kiss was slower, deeper, and jisung melted into it, his hands finally moving to rest on your waist.
you shifted in his lap, pressing your core against him, and he gasped into your mouth, his hips jerking up instinctively.
âs-sorry,â he stammered, pulling back slightly, his face a deep shade of red.
âdonât apologize,â you said, brushing your fingers through his hair. âyouâre doing so well.â
your praise made his chest swell, and he swallowed hard, his eyes flicking down to where your bodies were pressed together.
âtouch me more, sungie,â you encouraged, taking his hands and guiding them up your sides, over your ribs, until they were back on your chest.
his fingers trembled as they cupped you, his thumbs brushing over your nipples experimentally. when you let out a soft moan, his confidence grew, and he leaned down to kiss your neck, his lips trailing lower until they found the curve of your breast.
âjust like that,â you whispered, your fingers threading through his hair again as he continued exploring your body.
your hands slid down his back, your nails grazing his skin lightly, and jisung shivered under your touch. his own hands started to roam more boldly, tracing the curve of your waist, the small of your back, and finally settling on your ass.
you shifted again, grinding down against him, and he let out a choked moan, his head falling against your shoulder as he tried to catch his breath.
âyouâre so sensitive,â you murmured, kissing the side of his neck.
âi⊠i c-canât help it,â he stuttered, his voice shaky. âyouâre⊠youâre justâŠâ
you smiled, pressing a finger to his lips to hush him. âitâs okay, sungie. just let me take care of you.â
he nodded, his hands gripping your hips tighter as you continued to move against him. every touch, every kiss, every sound you made drove him closer to the edge, and he didnât know how much more he could take.
you leaned back slightly, reaching between your bodies to tug your panties down, and jisung watched with wide eyes as you discarded them. he couldnât believe this was happening, like any moment he might wake up in his bed, alone and frustrated.
âare you okay?â you asked, your voice soft as you looked at him.
ây-yeah,â he said quickly, nodding. i just canât believe this is real, he wanted to say but he was scared heâd sound like a loser.
âwait a second,â you said, sliding off his lap, the sudden loss of your weight making jisung let out a soft, involuntary hiss.
his eyes darted down, and he realizedâmuch to his horrorâthat his dick was now standing proudly at full attention, no longer constrained by his boxers. in his mind, it was almost mocking him, like it was giving him a thumbs-up for finally letting his hand rest after all those nights of longing for you. jisung felt a wave of self-consciousness wash over him, and his first instinct was to grab a blanket or pillow to cover himself.
just as he was about to reach for one, his attention was drawn to you. you were bent over by your bedside drawer, rummaging through it with an air of purpose. then, you pulled something out, holding it up for him to see⊠a shiny silver wrapper.
a condom.
jisung felt like his heart stopped beating for a second as he stared at the little package in your hands. something about seeing it made everything feel impossibly, undeniably real.
âultrathin⊠so you can feel everything,â you said casually, your voice laced with amusement as you turned back toward him.
goodness, sheâs gonna kill me. jisung thought, swallowing hard as he swore his dick twitched at your words.
âyouâre quite big, sungieâŠâ you mused, crawling back onto the bed with a grace that made his breath hitch. you moved toward him slowly, your eyes dark with intent. the way you approached him reminded him of a lioness stalking her prey.
âletâs see if it fits,â you added, a playful smile on your lips as you straddled his thighs.
jisung was completely frozen, his pulse pounding in his ears as he watched you unwrapping the condom with practiced ease. your hands moved so skillfully, the shiny material glinting faintly in the light. then you paused, looking up at him with a question in your eyes.
âmay i?â you asked softly, your voice almost sweet, though your expression held that same predatory confidence.
ây-yeah,â he stammered, the word barely audible as he nodded frantically. in his mind, he was screaming, please, yes, god, yes.
the corner of your mouth quirked up as you leaned forward. your fingers were gentle but firm as you grasped his dick, and jisung couldnât stop the shuddering gasp that escaped his lips. you slid the condom over him with ease, the mix of precum and the lubricant on the condom making it glide smoothly down his shaft.
it fit perfectly.
âfits you like a glove,â you murmured, your tone teasing as you leaned back to admire your handiwork.
jisung didnât know what to do. his hands twitched at his sides, his mouth slightly open as he tried to breathe through the overwhelming sensations coursing through him.
then, without warning, you slid up his body, settling back onto his lap. the sudden pressure against his dick made him let out a low, shaky moan.
âready?â you asked, your voice softer now, your hands resting on his chest as you leaned forward.
jisung swallowed hard, his wide eyes meeting yours. ây-yeah,â he croaked, his voice cracking slightly.
you lifted yourself slightly, aligning him with your entrance. jisung was trembling under you, his hands gripping the sheets as if holding on for dear life.
"breathe, sungie," you whispered, stroking his chest gently. his wide, panicked eyes met yours, and you smiled softly to reassure him.
he nodded quickly, forcing himself to take a shaky breath. when he exhaled, you sank down just a little, the tip of him slipping inside. his whole body jerked in response, a desperate, broken moan escaping his lips.
âfuckâŠâ he muttered, his head falling back against the pillow. his grip on the sheets tightened, his knuckles turning white. the heat, the wetness, the feeling of you was unlike anything heâd ever imagined.
âgood?â you asked, tilting your head as you hovered above him, testing his reaction.
âs-so good,â jisung gasped, his voice trembling. âso⊠tight⊠warmâŠâ
you couldnât help but smirk at his reaction, but you didnât tease him. instead, you lowered yourself further, slowly taking him inch by inch. jisungâs breathing grew heavier with every movement, his hips twitching upward involuntarily as if his body couldnât help but chase the sensation.
"easy," you murmured, pressing a hand against his chest to still him. "let me take care of you."
jisung nodded dumbly, biting his lip as he tried to stay still. his eyes were fixed on you, watching every little movement you made in adoration.
when you finally took all of him, you let out a soft sigh of relief, adjusting to the stretch. jisung, on the other hand, looked like he was seconds away from imploding.
"you're... you're perfect," he blurted out, his voice breaking with emotion.
you laughed softly, leaning down to brush your lips against his. âyouâre pretty perfect yourself, sungie.â
you gave him a moment to catch his breath, your hands gently running up and down his sides to calm him. when you started to move, lifting yourself slowly and sinking back down, his head shot up from the pillow.
âoh my godââ jisung groaned, his hands flying to your hips instinctively. âoh my god, oh my godâŠâ
his grip was unsure, as if he didnât know whether to hold on tighter or let go. his hips bucked slightly beneath you, and you gasped at the unexpected movement.
"you're doing so well," you encouraged him, your voice breathy but soothing. you leaned forward, kissing the corner of his mouth before nipping at his jaw.
jisung whimpered at the praise, his hands sliding up your sides as he tried to ground himself. his lips found yours again, and this time, he kissed you with a bit more confidence, his tongue shyly seeking yours.
you rolled your hips against him, drawing a strangled moan from deep in his chest. his reactions were so genuine, so raw. it made your heart race just as much as his.
âfaster,â he whispered against your lips, surprising both you and himself. his cheeks flushed red immediately after the word left his mouth.
you smiled, pressing your forehead against his as you obliged, picking up the pace. his grip on your hips tightened as he tried to meet your movements, his breaths coming faster and more uneven.
âyouâre close, arenât you?â you asked softly, brushing his damp hair out of his face.
jisung nodded rapidly, his eyes squeezed shut as his whole body tensed beneath you. âiâi canât⊠i canât hold it,â he stammered, his voice breaking with desperation.
âitâs okay,â you reassured him, your voice gentle. âlet go for me, sungie.â
the permission was all he needed. with a choked cry, jisungâs hips jerked upward, and he came harder than he ever thought possible. his whole body trembled as he gripped you tightly, burying his face in your shoulder as he rode out the waves of pleasure.
you held him through it, running your fingers through his hair and whispering soft words of encouragement. when his breathing finally started to slow, you leaned back slightly to look at him.
his face was flushed, his chest heaving, and his eyes glazed over as he tried to process what just happened.
âyou okay?â you asked, stroking his cheek gently.
jisung blinked up at you, a dazed but blissful smile spreading across his face. ây-yeah,â he breathed, his voice hoarse. âthat was⊠amazing.â
you laughed softly, leaning down to kiss him again. âyou did so well, sungie.â
he blushed at the praise, his hands resting on your thighs as he tried to steady himself. âthank you,â he mumbled shyly, his voice barely above a whisper.
âdonât thank me yet,â you teased. âweâre just getting started.â
the next day...
âsungie,â you said, your voice soft and slightly breathless. you were sprawled out on your couch, your notes and research scattered across the coffee table, all but forgotten.
âlast nightâs livestream got the most views iâve had in months,â you murmured, looking down at him. âthey must like you.â
jisung looked up from between your legs, his glasses fogged and slightly crooked on his face. his lips were swollen and glistening with your arousal, his cheeks flushed a deep red.
âreally?â he asked, only half-interested. but before you could respond, he dove back down, his eager mouth finding your folds once again.
a sharp gasp left your lips as his tongue traced over you. this was already the second time today heâd eaten you out, and heâd only gotten better since his first attempt this morning.
earlier, youâd guided him through it, patiently showing him what felt good, what didnât, and how to read the reactions of your body.
jisungâs long tongue worked wonders, licking and teasing in ways that had you gripping the cushions for dear life. when he sucked gently on your clit and flicked his tongue over it in quick succession, your thighs quivered against his head. he took note of the way your hips bucked involuntarily, doubling down on the action and making you cry out.
âyouâre such a quick learner,â you panted, your fingers threading through his hair, tugging lightly to spur him on.
he hummed against you, the vibrations sending shockwaves through your core. the sound was almost self-satisfied, as though he was proud of the way he had you unraveling beneath him.
the combination of his inexperience and raw enthusiasm was intoxicating. jisung wasnât just doing this to please you. he genuinely wanted to understand every inch of you, to learn what made you tick and what brought you to the edge.
and he was succeeding.
your thighs clenched around his head, your body arching off the couch as he alternated between languid strokes of his tongue and quick flicks against your most sensitive spot. âs-sungie, oh my god,â you whimpered, your grip on his hair tightening.
he pulled back just enough to look up at you, his glasses messier than ever. âdoes that mean iâm doing good?â he asked, his voice slightly muffled, and for a second, his shy, eager-to-please demeanor broke through.
you let out a breathless laugh, your hand cupping his cheek affectionately. âyouâre doing amazing, baby.â
his lips quirked into a bashful smile before he returned his attention to your core, determined to coax another round of trembling moans from your lips.
jisung park, you thought as you teetered on the edge of bliss, was quickly becoming an overachiever in the best way possible.

After All This Time (kmg)
When you're asked to be on the wedding party of a long-lost friend, you get the chance to reconnect with former classmate Mingyu, but not without your old feelings and struggles resurfacing.
â§Ë* pairing: groomsman!mingyu x bridesmaid!reader
â§Ë* w.c: 18,7k
â§Ë* genre: friends to lovers, fluff, smut, angst, it's another self-indulgent 'running away from your high school past' story from me.
đ§: still into you â paramore
â§Ë* warnings: alcohol consumption, a lot of not standing up for oneself, kind of unrealistic wedding timeline (i've never been a bridesmaid so bare with me), mingyu has no flaws here because... im in love with him, this might be badly written I can't really tell anymore | smut: it's messy, and rough, face sitting, unprotected penetration (don't do this), multiple orgasms (f). lmk if im missing anything
The unopened letter stares at you from across the table. Trying to ignore it by doing your housekeeping chores is pointless. Scrubbing your toilet, doing your laundry, making your bed, and even cooking your meal preps for the entire week, nothing managed to take your head away from that stupid letter, wondering what could possibly be.
You and Olivia havenât spoken properly since graduating high school many years ago. The last time you had a full-on conversation with her was when she told you she started seeing a new guy freshman year in college, someone who went to your same high school but never knew. Besides that, your only form of âcommunicationâ was liking each other's Instagram stories and the yearly happy birthday text. A letter from her addressed to you was the last thing you expected to see today, or ever.
Curiosity finally wins as you take it and inspect it up close. The pastel pink envelope with golden details feels sturdy in your hands, and the wax seal is stamped with two initials, O and T. The boyfriendâs name appears in your memory as the realization hits you. Olivia and Thomas.
This is a wedding invitation.
Opening the envelope just confirms your thoughts, but thereâs more to it than just a mere invitation. Just below some details such as dress code and the plus one, thereâs a part specifically addressed to you asking you to be one of Oliviaâs bridesmaids. Your stomach turns, anxiety, and excitement battling it out in each of your organs. For one, itâs really heartwarming that she thought of you as a friend still and wants you to be a part of such a special day as her wedding. On the other side, itâll be awkward to see everyone again after such a long time, because, weirdly enough, you never encountered anyone you knew ever again, even if you didnât move away and still frequented same places as before.
Except, maybe that anxiety is just because of one person, whoâs probably going to be more than involved in this wedding. Cassie, your other best friend.
Being a trio was never a problem. Actually, itâs probably the better friend group arrangement for you. The three of you got along immediately since the first day of middle school and never looked back. It was always fun and comfortable, you thought you had found your best friends for life. But something happened around the age when girls start noticing boys, when everyone starts going on dates, flirting, kissing, getting into relationships. Thatâs when you realized you and Cassie had the exact same type. It became almost like a routine: youâd notice a cute guy around school but didnât say anything, and the next thing you know, at the next party Cassie would also notice him and hook up with him. You were sure you were in your very own Truman Show.
Was it partially your fault for not saying anything? Maybe, but did it have to happen with literally every single guy you were ever attracted to? It reached a point where you would constantly doubt yourself, compare yourself to her, was she cooler? Prettier? Smarter? Funnier?
In the end, it wasnât her fault, and youâd never blame her for that, but for your own good and the wellness of your crumbling self-confidence, you had to get away from that situation. And you did. At least until now. But itâs been years, youâre not the same person you were back in high school, and hopefully, all of your self-doubting was also left in the past.
A sky-high, lavish building stands before you in all of its glory. You were no stranger to your old friendâs rich family, but her lifestyle always managed to take you by surprise.
Olivia wanted all the bridesmaids and groomsmen to meet and get comfortable with each other, so she and her fiancĂ© arranged a little afternoon party at their apartment. Over the few texts you exchanged with Olivia, she failed to mention the other people on the wedding party. So during the elevator ride, you think of every possibility, who could be there that you know? With how many people from school has she kept in contact with? Will you know the groomâs friends?
The doorbell rings inside the busy apartment, and a few seconds later youâre welcomed by your old friend with a bright smile. You hug Olivia tightly, the weirdness of the situation fading away for a few seconds. Afterward, you greet everyone with a shy smile, recognizing some faces and encountering new ones. Some people are standing in groups of three or four, while others sit on the couch or a few scattered chairs, talking with each other comfortably.
âWhile we wait for the last people to arrive, I want to start telling you what I have planned.â
Olivia announces as you walk away slowly, and you find an empty wall by the hallway to rest against.
At least twenty minutes pass, in which Olivia doesnât take one breath, her happiness and excitement showing through her endless words. The wedding plan is not really out of the ordinary, but the scale of things, thatâs the impressive part. She has seven bridesmaids, including you, plus the maid of honor who hasnât arrived yet, and her fiancĂ© has the same number of grooms, plus the best man. Each of you will pair up throughout the days coming up to the ceremony, and on the big day, each pair will have matching outfits and even a dance scheduled after the coupleâs first dance as a married couple. Her idea was essentially thought so no one would feel out of place and enjoy the ceremony, because it should be a happy day for everyone.
While she explains everything for the second time, you take your time to look around the big room full of people. Scanning every face, there isnât really a lot of girls you know, but the groomsmen, on the other hand, all of them went to your same high school. It seems Oliviaâs fiancĂ© still hangs out with his same group of friends. One of them, in particular, sparks a little smile across your face.
Mingyu was the only other person you considered a real friend in school. As scary and anxiety inducing as it is to have classes without your small friend group, he made it more than bearable, enjoyable even. Becoming friends with the nerdy boy assigned as your lab partner is one of the things you remember fondly about those years of your life. He was like a breath of fresh air during all the turmoil. Would he remember you?
His eyes catch yours from across the room, and an instant smile forms across his lips. After all the years that passed, he still looks the same. Heâs much more mature and fully over puberty now, his broad bulky frame being one of the more standing out new things about him, but youâd recognize that confused expression and toothy smile with fangs peeking out anywhere. Your mood rapidly improves as he mouths a âhiâ and waves his hand lightly at you, not wanting to interrupt the bride to be. You repeat his greeting with a growing grin, but your small interaction is cut short.
Your name catches your attention, and you turn to Olivia, âyou and Mingyu will be our last pair. Is that okay?â
The relief is immediate. It might be a little awkward, but at least youâll be with someone you know. You and Mingyu look at each other once again and then nod at her, but before she can continue with whatever she is saying, the entry door opens behind her.
âHi everyone!â The familiar voice makes your stomach drop, âIâm sorry Iâm late. My boss wouldnât let me go.â
She looks the same too, only with longer hair and more mature features on her face. Her body language holds the same coolness, as sure of herself as she was when you were younger.
âItâs fine. Itâs nothing the maid of honor hasnât heard before.â Olivia replies to her with a chuckle.
âOh my god! I havenât seen you in so long!â When she greets you, you straighten your posture, put on your best smile, and hug her back. âHow are you doing?â
âHey Cassie, good, good, just working my life away!â
You joke and try to ease up your emotions. Your few words manage to satisfy her as she nods with a smile, walks away, and pecks one of the groomsmen â her boyfriend? â on the lips before sitting by his side.
The schedule is easy for Olivia to finish explaining it, so in no time, food starts rolling in, and conversations pop up between everyone, either catching up or normal everyday chats. Cassie starts telling a story about something that happened earlier at her job, but you donât really understand it. You havenât talked to them in so long, you donât know what they do for a living, or where they work. You donât know them anymore, and youâre too afraid to ask.
To the side, a couple of people over, Mingyuâs talking with the rest of the grooms' friends comfortably. You want to talk to him, but what would you say? Itâs not like you were the closest of friends. You never hung out outside of the school, and your friend groups never actually interacted until now. Actually, you never told Olivia and Cassie about him. Maybe because you were afraid that if you introduced him to Cassie, heâd swoon over her like the rest of the guys you ever interacted with romantically.
An uneasy feeling creeps in on you as memories of your past fight to climb up on your memory. Feelings and thoughts you havenât felt in years come back up, almost reliving everything in a matter of milliseconds. You need to talk to someone, take your mind off of your overthinking. Because this is not the time nor the place to get so gloomy.
You get to talk with the rest of the bridesmaids, and the anxiousness of it all starts bubbling down, and youâre much more comfortable. A couple of them are close family friends with Olivia, also as rich as her, but still really nice girls, even if a little airheaded, and the rest are friends from college.
Time passes by easily, and soon enough, the sun is already set.
On the ride back home, your mind starts spiraling again. Do you even fit in with all those people? An invite to her wedding wouldâve been just fine, but a bridesmaid? You feel like a total stranger, someone from her past whoâs meddling around trying to sneak into a place she purposely left behind. At least you wonât have to see anyone ever again after the wedding is over.
It is said that changing your usual routine helps improving your mood, taking another path home, shopping at a new place, sitting down at a different park, trying a new coffee order, changing the little things to feel more energized and be more productive. You wouldnât know, because every task you complete as fast as possible to be back home quickly. So, after days of not being able to think about anything else but the upcoming wedding, itâs your only option left.
With the sky lit up with golden light, the grass and trees as green as ever, and a light breeze that prevents you from getting too hot, you walk around a park youâve never been to before, with your new âhot girl walkâ playlist as a soundtrack. The kids running around the playground are the only sounds that get through your ears besides the music, maybe a bark or two as well, and the sun against your skin soothes all your worries. Damn. Going on a walk does fix your mood.
A hand grabbing your arm softly startles you, and youâre about to punch the mystery person when you recognize his face.
âMingyu?â
His eyes are focused on your fist that was ready to hit him, and you lower it down, beginning to take out your airpods.
âSorry! You scared me!â You erupt in a nervous laughter.
âIâm sorry! I called your name but you didnât hear me.â He stands apologetic in front of you, looking down at his feet before daring to look back up. âHow are you doing? We didnât get to talk the other day.â
âYeah! Itâs good to see you! I didnât expect you to be there, it was a nice surprise.â Is it too weird to say that? Well, itâs already done.
He gets the tiniest bit shy at your words, his ears turning a light shade of pink before disappearing quickly.
You notice a bicycle by his side, a cute pink helmet with glittery heart stickers hanging by the handle. He mustâve been biking when he saw you and took it off before calling your name.
âI didnât know if you were still friends with Olivia, I didnât know if I was going to see you either.â
You fixate on the first part of his sentence, ignoring your bodyâs reaction to him implying he wanted to see you.
âOh, weâre not really that close anymore.â Thereâs a silence as you finish your words, as it wasnât the reply he was expecting. âLife, you know? We just grew apart.â
It was you who stopped making an effort to talk to her, but even if it was still for your own good, youâre a little ashamed to admit it to Mingyu.
âShe still asked you to be her bridesmaid. That must mean something.â Ever the positive guy, he tries to make you feel better after the sour comment.
âYeah, itâs really nice of her.â The sun shining so bright prevents you from looking up at him, but you smile, hoping he can see it.
The slow steps youâve been taking side by side turn awkward with silence. You wanted so badly to talk to him after the other day, but now that heâs here, in front of you, you canât think of anything.
âItâs good that you still hang out with the guys.â
You donât know what else to say, and the words spill out of your mouth. He doesnât seem to notice the awkward atmosphere, his body as comfortable as ever walking by your side.
âYeah, even though not as often as Iâd like.â A regretful smile forms across his lips. âOur schedules havenât been lining up, I met Olivia in person maybe a total of three times over the years.â
âWhat? Thereâs no way you didnât share any classes in school?â
He shakes his head, chuckling at your surprise.
âI think I only ever shared one class with her, but I didnât really care much about her crowd back then.â
âWow, thanks for that.â
He means all the popular guys your friends would hang out with, and you know it, but there was always something so fun in teasing him and seeing him get so pouty.
"You know I donât mean you.â
His shoulder pushes your body lightly to the side, and you chuckle together. Itâs hard to prevent the red from rushing to your cheeks. Maybe heâll mistake it for a faint sunburn.
âThatâs a cute helmet you got there.â Your eyes point to it as a way to distract him.
âOh, that?â He picks it up with what seems to be an embarrassed voice tone, but his actions quickly override it. He puts it on proudly and looks at you with his eyebrows raised, âmy sister gave it to me when I bought the bike, gets all the ladies.â
âI'm sure it does.â
Attention from women he for sure gets, but probably not because of that thing. His tall, muscular body is enhanced by the tight blue t-shirt he's wearing. You didnât get a proper look at him the other day, and now, standing next to him in broad daylight, you almost wish you could still live in the ignorance bliss of not knowing the exact height difference between you two.
âSo, what are you doing around here?â
His words make you realize youâve been staring for a few seconds, and you look ahead, hoping he didnât notice. He forgets to remove the helmet, making you chuckle quietly before answering.
âI just got off from work and thought it would be nice to take a different route home.â
âThatâs such a coincidence! I come here, like, almost every week to bike around.â
âWow, It really is.â
For how long have you been avoiding this specific park for no reason? Pushing away your chance of meeting the one and only person you wouldâve wanted to?
A ping from his phone alerts both of you, taking you out of your little bubble.
âSorry I-" His expression falls as he reads the new text, âI have to get going, but it was really nice seeing you!â
"Oh, sure! I didnât mean to hold you back.â It comes out quieter than youâd like. âGoodbye!â With a simple smile and a tiny wave at him, you turn around.
Right when he gets on his bicycle again, before he starts pedaling, he looks back at you, taking your first step in the opposite direction.
âWait!â When you turn around, heâs taking his phone out of his front pocket, âCan I get your number?â
The both of you blush at his words, and you look up at him cautiously.
âSo we can catch up and, you know, get comfortable with each other for the wedding.â
You had already forgotten about that. The reason you even met him again in the first place.
âSure!â
Your hand trembles slightly when you take his phone, and you mentally beat yourself up for it. Itâs just your number! It could mean nothing.
âIâll text you later so you can save mine.â
And with a wink, heâs off to whatever he was late to.
Great. Now youâre not only re-living your high-school anxieties but also your high-school crushes.
During the following days, you find yourself checking your phone more often than ever, always with the hope that youâll get a new message from Mingyu. Texting almost every day since the encounter at the park, the time when youâre both free to talk has become your favorite part of the day.
It started shyly, merely updating the other about your lives since finishing high school, your jobs, and hobbies. But as time passed, the never-ending conversation eased onto your daily routines. Youâd wake up and text Mingyu, update him as you arrive at work. Lunch, break, evening, clocking out, dinner. Every little free time you got, youâd text each other back and forth.
A text notification cheers you up constantly, thinking that it could possibly be him again. But itâs not always the case, like this time.
Itâs Olivia reminding you that, in exactly 29 minutes, you have the dance rehearsal with all the maids and grooms. Half an hour, and you live 1 hour away from the studio she rented. A little white lie never hurt anyone, so you tell her something came up and you'll be just a little late.
You love weddings, but if you had to choose one thing you donât like about them, it would definitely be the dancing. You canât dance for shit. Youâd tell your right leg to move forward, and your left leg would move backwards, like your body canât comprehend instructions when theyâre related to dancing. Usually, you stay in your seat, choosing not to embarrass yourself in front of all the guests, but this time, you canât get out of it. Poor Mingyu will leave the class with at least five bruises on his feet from you stepping on him.
The dance studio is part of a new, contemporary looking building on the exact geographic center of the city, a place you would always pass by but never thought youâll get to enter. Standing at the front desk, over half an hour late, you feel too out of place. Your clothes are probably wrong, your hair is completely disheveled, you donât remember on which floor is your class, and you donât even know the name of the dance teacher.
After a long discussion with the receptionist, she finally understands what youâre here for and lets you go up to the 13th floor.
The walk from the elevator to the studio feels longer than it actually is. Three to four footsteps become long, slow turtle-like steps. But not even the infinite time you spend taking four steps prepare you for your stomach to drop down to the basement at the sight of Mingyu dancing with Cassie as soon as you open the door.
His hands on her waist, her arms around his neck, dancing slowly in circles, laughing about something she just said, you can almost hear something inside you break. After all this time, nothing really changed.
âHey! Youâre finally here!â
Oliviaâs voice brings you back to earth.
âHi! Iâm really sorry I couldnât get here sooner.â The dance teacher gives you a look, and you lower down your voice, âSo how is this going?â
âWe had to put them together,â she points the dreaded pair, directing your eyes to them once again, âbecause neither you or Tyler were here when we started, but after the songâs over you can join him and Iâll practice with Cassie, okay?â
You nod with the best spirit you can manage to express.
âIs Tyler the guy she was with the other day?â
You donât forget to whisper so the class isnât interrupted by your chatter.
âHeâs the only one of Tom's friends whoâs not from school, donât worry, you didnât erase him from your memory.â
You stifle a laugh before it gets loud.
âGood, I was starting to feel bad about not recognizing him.â
In reality, his existence doesnât matter much to you either way, except for something. âAre him and Cassie a thing?â
âShe says itâs something casual but, and donât tell her about this, I paired them up together on purpose so they can finally realize that they like each other!â
Your lungs clear of air in an instant after hearing those words. Sheâs not available. She has a boyfriend, sort of. A boyfriend who you do not know nor have feelings for.
âYour secret's safe with me.â
âMingyu's nice and all, but if he messes with my plan and charms her, I will personally revoke his invitation to the wedding.â
You both chuckle just as the song finally ends, yours quieter than hers. Both of them see you with Olivia, but only Cassie comes forward to say hi.
âHey girls! Good to see you!â She gives you a little hug before directing to Olivia. âSo⊠Tyler isnât showing up, I assume.â
âHe told me a few minutes ago that something came up and canât come, sorry.â
Her hand flies to Cassie's shoulders to comfort her, but she doesnât seem bummed by the news.
âWell, then, I have something to ask you.â
Her presence suddenly becomes overwhelming as she grins at you with a proposition in mind, seemingly all thought out.
âAre you close with Mingyu? Olivia told me you were classmates.â
How did she know? Maybe you did tell her about him after all.
âHe used to be my lab partner. Why?â
âHow did you not crush on him back then? Heâs such a cutie.â
âI probably did, I donât remember.â Lie.
âCould you find out if he has a girlfriend, pleeease?â
A buzzing sound is all you hear for a few seconds, like your brain forgets how to function. Words donât come out, and youâre freezed in place as Cassie looks at you expectantly. To the side, Olivia looks just as puzzled by her request.
âW-why?â
âBecause, heâs really hot and, if I need a quick rebound because of that other fucker, I need to know Iâm not messing with a relationship.â
Silence is all you produce once again.
âI just need a tiny bit of info, and itâll be weird if I ask him directly, so could you please try?â
âSure⊠Iâll try, but Iâm not promising anything.â
Youâve never sounded less excited about something in your whole life. You love some gossip and some drama, but not if it involves a genuinely nice guy like Mingyu being used. Or maybe itâs just because itâs him.
âThank you, thank you, thank you.â
Cassie jumps excitedly and hugs you once again, just as the dance teacher calls for everyone to gather.
Mingyuâs hands slot carefully at the sides of your waist, guiding you swiftly and sparking goosebumps across your back. Your arms wrap awkwardly around his neck, making him crouch a bit so you can look properly at each other.
âWere you always this good? Or did you become a professional waltz dancer in the half hour I wasnât here?â
You remember him telling you the other day, during your endless text conversations, that he, like you, wasnât particularly excited about dancing.
âLetâs say, hypothetically, that I practiced before coming here, what would that say about me? Hypothetically.â
âIt would say that,â you drown out a cackle before you can continue, âyou take your duty as a groomsman very seriously, hypothetically.â
âGood, I wouldnât want you to think I was a dork, hypothetically.â
âYouâre too late, I already thought that.â
A pout forms on his mouth at your giggles, and he flashes the world's most menacing puppy eyes ever.
âI mean it in the best way possible!â
âIsnât it embarrassing?â
âItâs cute!â
His face shifts with skepticism, sending enough signals saying he didnât like your choice of words.
âItâs charming!â
The warmth his body emanates wraps around you fast. His expectant eyes looking down at you and the closeness of your bodies rises your temperature in record time, your cheeks pinking up furiously. You keep talking as the nervousness takes over you.
âAt least it worked! Youâre a really good dancer, Iâm sorry I keep missing the beats.â
âYouâre giving me too much credit. Youâre not that bad.â
âNow youâre just lying. My limbs are physically unable to coordinate more than three steps. Youâre guiding me through every single one!â
His hands tighten just the tiniest bit around your waist, like a confirmation for the both of you that theyâre still there.
The teacherâs voice echoes all around you until it finally punctures your bubble, and youâre able to hear the class youâre here for. The steps sheâs explaining for a second time make no sense in your head, too many turns and moves for you (and your body) to comprehend.
âI need all the pairs to practice the final steps again.â
Only her final words make sense on your mind, and when you look towards Mingyu, his hand left its place on your body and is extended at you, his eyes kind yet concentrated back on the dance. You nod, taking his hand with an electrifying rush going through your veins.
Mingyu guides you firmly but with care, moving along the beats of the waltz. With each step, your synchronization improves, and the moves flow along easily, your bodies understanding each other. You canât help but smile as you look him in the eyes, a familiar warm feeling bubbling up inside you.
âYou're doing a really good job.â
His eyes catch yours, a little wrinkle forming by each of their sides before he cracks a smile to match yours. Thereâs something in the way he looks like when paying attention to you, like a spell being casted on you, making you crave more.
âItâs because itâs comfortable with you.â
Your mouth betrays you and sends out the words without checking with your brain, but weirdly enough, you donât fear his reaction. Itâs just the truth.
âWeâre more in synch than you thought.â
You swear you see a glimpse of a smirk before he spins you in his arms.
As you turn and move together through the song, you think your excitement isn't solely because of the rehearsal going well. It could be simply a wish, but a spark of something is definitely lighting up. The way Mingyu holds you, attentive and confident, you can't help to think he feels it too.
âYou think we can be this good the day of the wedding?â
Thereâs more anticipation than curiosity in your voice, remembering youâll keep meeting until then, youâll keep seeing him.
Mingyu reaches closer until his warm breath fans your ear and his lips graze your cheek.
âWe could meet a few days before and practice, like I hypothetically did today.â
âYou think I need practice?â You tease to hide the blush creeping up your cheeks.
âMaybe itâs an excuse to see you again.â
A mix of shyness and giddiness overtakes you as you giggle at his proposition. But in the midst of your interaction, you skip a crucial move and begin to turn, stepping right on one of Mingyuâs feet and almost tripping over to the side. His hand secures you by the waist, the hem of your t-shirt raised just enough so his fingers brush your fiery bare skin.
âOk, maybe I do need the practice too.â
The teacher talks to you on the background, but itâs hard to concentrate on anything other than Mingyuâs touch lighting fires across your body, his worried eyes over your âalmostâ fall, and his smile when he realizes youâre laughing at your clumsiness.
The music starts over, and you only realize it because his hand is extended at you once again.
âLetâs give it another try.â
âSo, you didnât get to ask him?â
âIâm sorry, I forgot about it. I was so focused on learning the dance that it slipped my mind.â
Running into Cassie coming out of the subway was the last thing you expected (and wanted) right now. Trying on dresses is the one bridesmaid related thing you were least excited about. So many hours of putting clothes on and off, picking colors, showing the rest of the girls, giving your opinion on their dresses, and listening to their opinions on yours. It just sounds so exhausting. But your mental pep talk got interrupted when Cassie saw you walking up the stairs of the station heading to the bridal shop.
âItâs okay, donât worry about it.â
âHe didnât say anything that would imply he has one, if that helps.â
More than a helping hand to her, you're starting to hope heâs single too.
âThatâs good to know, thank you.â
âI donât really get why you wanted to know, though. I thought you had a boyfriend.â
âHeâs not... I mean, itâs not like, official. I wanted him to get jealous, but I'm over that now.â
âOh, so... you talked about it with him?"
âKind of... he just explained why he couldnât come to the rehearsal, and I just, couldnât get mad at him simply for that, right?â
âRight...â
You know virtually nothing about their ârelationshipâ, or about him for that matter, so itâs maybe for the best to stay out of their⊠thing.
âAnyway, about today, do you have something in mind for your dress?â
âNot really, I was just thinking of browsing through the store and seeing what they have.â
âWow, really? Youâre so chill about it. I have a pinterest board with all the styles and shapes I like. I even checked their online store to see what they have in stock beforehand.â
âThatâs⊠actually really smart.â
âNah, donât be nice. Did you at least think of a color? Olivia wants all of us to be different colors, but in pastel, obviously. I personally didnât really care about it, but I chose pink after some thought.â
âOh, actually, I didn't know that.â
âItâs okay, you can decide when we get there.â
âDid the rest of the girls choose already?â
âMaybe? I havenât had the chance to ask them.â
âI hope I donât get green then, I donât really like how it looks on me.â
âYouâll look amazing either way. Donât let a simple color wear you down!â
Small talk with Cassie turns out to be quite nice in the short walk you have up to the store. It's a pretty shallow conversation, but not at all stressful like you thought.
The place is really fancy looking, tall glass windows and blinding white interior. It makes you take a breath just by looking at the displayed dresses. Relieved that Olivia said multiple times that sheâll take care of everything and not to worry about the prices, you and Cassie walk inside.
You didnât expect every girl to be already there, and you especially didnât expect the groomsmen to be also all there. The girls browse through racks and racks of different shaped and colored dresses, and the men are sitting back, talking with one another, waiting for their bridesmaid to ask for their opinion.
Cassie goes straight to greet Mingyu with a hug. Even if he isnât the closest one to the door. Even if Tyler is there also. And you walk behind her, slowly, shy because of all the people aware of your arrival. You give Mingyu a shy smile as a greet, and he returns it warmly.
After the dance rehearsal all those days back, youâve been hesitant about contacting him again. Thereâs nothing wrong with him. Itâs quite the opposite, actually. Heâs caring, attentive, and kind towards you. You just donât want to fall in your black hole of a crush on him again. especially after Cassie made it clear to you that heâs caught her eye too. Sure, she just told you she made up with her boyfriend, but her actions are already contradicting her words.
Olivia sees you with Cassie and walks quickly towards you two with a smile on her face.
âHey girls! How do you like the store?! Isnât it huge?â
âItâs unbelievable! Iâm gonna need at least two hours to look through all the dresses!â
Cassie answers, staring at the lengthy room in awe. You can feel Mingyuâs eyes on you. Or maybe on Cassie. Regardless, youâre in his line of sight, and it gives you chills.
âWell, you have all the time in the world today. I reserved the whole store for the entire day for all of us, and the staff is also here to help us if needed, so donât worry about asking for help!â
âThatâs amazing!â You both exclaim at the same time.
âThank you!â Cassie doesnât look back and goes straight to the racks of pink dresses. Youâre about to go and walk around as well. Maybe try to find a color that suits you, but Olivia stops you before you can even take a step.
âWait! I got the list of the available colors left for you,â she hands you a sheet of paper with almost everything on it crossed out, âIâm sorry, I know there isnât much left.â
âOh donât worry, itâs fine. I shouldâve picked it earlier. Itâs not your fault.â
Itâs disappointing to see that only two items arenât crossed out. Light teal and pastel green. Green and teal arenât ugly colors by any means, but you always feel awkward when wearing them, so youâve learned to avoid them. The back of your throat itches to close as you think about looking ugly at the wedding, in front of so many people, in front of him.
âI saw some of the teal dresses earlier, and theyâre all super cute! Youâll look amazing!â
âOh, ok, Iâll go check them out. But, just in case, isnât there any way for me to change colors?â
âYou could ask someone to swap with you.â
Your mind instantly goes to Cassie. Earlier, she told you she didnât care which color she wore, maybe she wouldnât mind switching with you. You spot her easily on one corner, asking Mingyu about his opinion. She looks up at him with glittery eyes as one of her hands places itself on his arm. The sight turns your stomach upside down. You want to stop watching the scene as much as you want to break them apart.
Your legs make the decision for you and walk you to where theyâre standing. They donât notice you walking over to them until you speak up.
âHey, sorry to interrupt you guys, but Cassie, could I ask you something?â
Mingyuâs the first one to look up at you, his face lighting up as you interrupt whatever Cassie was saying to him. Sheâs slower, making sure to hang the dress back on the rack before turning to face you.
âWhat do you need?â
There's very little annoyance on her tone, but you donât miss the way her eyebrows arch and her eyes dart to Mingyu, signaling you that she wants some alone time.
âI wanted to ask if you, by any chance, were willing to switch colors with me?â
âWhat happened? Which ones are left?â
âBasically, just green.â
âOh, thatâs such a bummer.â
Thereâs a silence when she finishes talking. You wait for her to continue, blinking at her, but she just doesnât. Her sentence ended there.
âYeah, so, would you swap with me?â
âIâŠâ Her body language turns awkward as she thinks of an answer, side-eyeing Mingyu, whoâs also waiting for her, but with no context to what youâre asking her.
âI just, you said you didnât really care about the color, so I thought you wouldnât mind changing it.â
You huff, not helping the awkward atmosphere around the three of you. Your eyes connect with Mingyuâs, who's silently watching the interaction from the side. You hate that heâs seeing you in such a state, so... desperate for something thatâs not that big of a deal anyway. You need this interaction to be over.
âYouâre right, I did say that,â you can already see where this is going, âbut, I kinda already put my mind to it, and it took a lot of convincing to get Tyler to match with me. He already bought his suit, and I donât want to make him mad by changing everything so suddenly, Iâm sorry.â
âOhâŠâ
You can feel your stomach contracting, your throat threatening to close, your eyes getting ready to be filled with tears. This is so stupid. Itâs just a stupid color. It's a stupid dress youâll never wear again. Why is it affecting you so much?
âWait, Iâm sure Tyler wouldnât mind changing.â
Mingyuâs soft voice sounds closer to you, but you canât really see much with your eyes trained to the ground and vision blurry from tearing up.
âNo, itâs fine, letâs not bother him.â
Blinking away the tears is easy, but looking up and finding a concerned Mingyu makes you feel like jelly. Cassieâs long forgotten as you focus on him, his tall figure watching over you, his hand placed on your shoulder, squeezing lightly, silently comforting you.
âIâll go try and find something I like.â
âI can look with you if you want.â
âNo, itâs fine, you can go back to what you were doing.â
You walk away, leaving him standing there, still worried about your sudden reaction. Cassie is just behind him, waiting for the opportunity to get his attention back.
But you try not to think about him or her while browsing through the store. Trying your best to be positive, to not get dragged down by a simple color choice, or by a friend â if you can call her that â that couldnât help you.
Hours go by, and itâs easier when you focus on other things. You help the other girls decide on their dresses, reacting and applauding, helping them find new ones if they arenât satisfied. Itâs fun, contrary to what you previously thought, itâs like playing a dress up game, except every now and then, itâs Cassie who comes out on the make-shift runway, and the first opinion she asks for is always Mingyu's.
At one point, everyone has already decided, and youâre the only one left. All the girls you helped come together to try and find you the best possible dress, bringing a new one to you with hopeful smiles on their faces every few minutes.
You try them on, eager to find one and be done with it. But, even if they look gorgeous when on the hanger, they always got something that doesnât sit right with you when you put them on. And after trying dress after dress, you grow more discouraged.
Olivia notices how tired you are and tells you that you can come back another day, alone and less anxious, but then again, that would mean stretching the situation for longer than needed. You decide to try on one more dress, one that Olivia picked specifically for you, and if youâre not satisfied, youâll come back with her the next day.
The store lady helps you put the dress on, her sweet smile never fading, even if itâs the tenth dress she helped you put on already. The pastel green silk fabric glides smoothly over your skin, hugging you in the right places as the lady zips it up. Your backâs facing the mirror, too afraid to look in it again and find another disappointing result.
âSweetheart, I think this is the one.â
The kind womanâs voice startles you, but her honest smile makes you believe her words. You inhale deeply, calming yourself before turning around. But instead of looking at your reflection, you walk outside the changing room and onto the lobby.
Every pair of eyes is on you the moment you step out, your arms wrap around your torso in an effort to shield yourself, and you can feel your cheeks being painted a bright red color. A few gasps are heard, and when you look around, the girls who helped you are all covering their mouths, eyes wide as they watch you cautiously strolling forward.
At the back of the store, itâs like time stops for Mingyu. Whatever he was doing, forgotten at the sight of you. He was unaware of how much your appearance could affect him. His eyes are trained on you, allured by your figure, scanning you up and down like a piece of art worth studying.
Buzz erupts all around you, mumbles and praises about your dress and how you look in it, but itâs all background noise for you. Mingyuâs heavy stare finds yours, and his ears turn a faint shade of pink. The subtlest smirk begins to form on his lips, spreading the warm feeling on your tummy all across your body. He canât seem to drive his eyes away from you, and you donât want him to. Your arms relax under his gaze, disarming the protective shield around you and drop to hang by your sides.
But, in a matter of seconds, the girls swarm around you, blocking all 360 degrees around you. Their positive opinions flood your ears as they walk you back to the dressing room, trying to convince you to choose this dress. You canât look back, but youâre sure all the groomsmen left together.
Doesnât matter. Youâre definitely getting this one.
After spending the whole day shopping together, it marvels you how these girls still want to spend time together. When they noticed all the boys left, they planned an impromptu girls' night at Oliviaâs apartment.
Itâs amazing how they can spend hours and hours talking with each other, a few drinks here and there, never running out of topics, entertaining you when youâre too tired to talk.
Your phone vibrates in your pocket, and you sit back on your side of the couch to read the new text.
Mingyu: hey, how are you?
Mingyu: sorry i couldnât stay today, they dragged me to a boys night
Everything that happened a few hours ago flashes through your mind, waking a giddy smile on your face as you reply.
You: why are you sorry?
You: the girls wanted to do a âboys freeâ night, weâre at Oliviaâs rn
Mingyu: i didnt want to leave before making sure you were okay
Oh.
You: im better now
You: it was fun helping the other girls, took my mind off of it
You: but thank you, you didnt have to worry
Mingyu: good to know :)
Mingyu: next time ill drive you home
You: drive me home? Will i sit on the bike's handlebar?
Mingyu: i was thinking more like a piggyback ride
You: hmm... ill have to think about it
You tune back to the conversation before anyone notices you not paying attention, having no idea what turns the topic has taken in the time you werenât listening.
âI think heâs definitely seeing someone.â
The girls divided into two groups with different conversations going on, but sitting in front of Cassie, you can only hear her side of the table. They might be talking about Tyler and their ârelationshipâ problems.
âI really donât think he is. He didnât use his plus one you know.â
A smile forms in your mouth when your phone vibrates in your hand once again.
Mingyu: can you believe the weddingâs so close already
You: times moving so fast
You: i cant believe its less than two weeks away
Mingyu: it feels like it was only yesterday that tom told me he was getting married
âBut today, he didnât seem at all interested, he was really out of it from the start.â
âMaybe seeing dresses all day is not his thing.â
âNo but like, I tried every move on him, and he didnât even bat an eye.â
Bits and pieces of the still going conversation manage to register on your mind, and you realize theyâre talking about Mingyu, unaware of your current chat with him.
You: is the boys only hang out getting boring? Its not very polite to be on the phone you know
Mingyu: theyre all playing games, havent looked my way in over 30 mins
Mingyu: besides i much rather talk with you
You: well i wont argue with that
Mingyu: you seem bored too
You: youâre definitely helping me get through the night
âMaybe heâs just not interested in you.â
Olivia teases Cassie, even though her comment is more than just a joke. But why is Cassie so adamant on wooing Mingyu if, according to Olivia, she really likes Tyler?
âIâll be the judge of that.â
Mingyu: you know what I just realized
Mingyu: I forgot the dance routine already
You: omg me too
You: we might have to meet to practice like you said
Mingyu: we can do it at my place
Mingyu: you up for it?
You: i should ask you that
You: your feet are going to suffer because of me
Mingyu: thatâs a risk im willing to take
Mingyu: but I gotta warn you, I take my practice very seriously
You: sure, you can carry me back to my apartment after we're done
Sitting on Mingyuâs couch, waiting for him to get back from the bathroom, youâre too tired to do anything else than looking around his living room. Itâs so him. The warm and neutral colors make everything feel cozy, with pictures of him and his family hanging on the walls â no ambiguously romantic photos with unfamiliar girls, and everything is so tidy, not one pillow out of place, even after practicing for over an hour. Out the window, you can see the sun starting to set, and the buildings across the street start lighting up. You recognize all of them.Â
All this time, heâs lived so close to you. His building barely a ten minute walk away from yours. You canât help but wonder, what wouldâve happened if you kept in touch, if you just walked two more minutes to the park he frequents, or sent him a follow request on Instagram the few times he popped up on your recommended. It comforts you that at least you have this chance to reconnect with him, to make things right.Â
But sounding confident over text is easy, and now, youâve only danced for the whole time youâve been here, barely even talked about anything else.Â
Itâs conflicting, the guilt of meeting with Mingyu behind everyoneâs back â even if itâs no oneâs business â, the excitement of seeing him alone after weeks of only wedding related stuff, and the actual need to practice the dance so you donât embarrass yourself, all colliding in your mind, making everything awkward for you.Â
Like ten thousand spectators, the windows of every apartment watch you through the glass, just sitting, waiting. Mingyu left only a couple of minutes ago, but after the many times you stepped on him, you wonder if heâs actually hurt.Â
âAre you okay? Tell me if I need to call a doctor for your feet!âÂ
You shout with your head looking towards the bathroom door. His chuckle travels all the way to your ears before he opens the door.Â
âIâm fine, I swear.âÂ
As he comes out, your body tingles with nervousness once again. He sits beside you on the couch, unknowingly making your head spin.Â
âYou sure? I donât think feet are supposed to withstand all of that.âÂ
âIâm okay, just tired, why donât we rest for a bit?âÂ
They way he sits, on his side, facing you, and his arm resting on the back of the couch, your eyes canât help but wander to where his arm muscles start showing. Every variation of the phrase âbutterflies in your stomach" could describe the way you feel as he watches you, paying so much attention that you mumble your next sentence.Â
âThis couch is way too comfortable. It makes me want to just stay here the rest of the day.âÂ
âLetâs do it! We can even have dinner here. If we order take out, we can tell them to leave it at the door.âÂ
âThat sounds nice, but one of us will have to go get it.âÂ
âWhen my roommate comes home, heâll bring it inside for us.âÂ
âOh my god, you have a roommate? When is he coming back? I donât want to be a bother.â You look towards the entry hallway, like heâs about to come in and kick you out.Â
You really donât want to leave, Mingyuâs company is already becoming one of your favorites, but you hadnât counted on being around another person, and in their home for that matter. You start to get up from where youâre sitting, worried about having overstayed your welcome, but Mingyuâs hand grabs yours softly and drags you back down.Â
âI invited you here. Itâs not like youâre trespassing.âÂ
âBut Iâve been here for hours, is it not too much?âÂ
âI guess I don't want you to leave.âÂ
His hand hasn't let go of yours, his skin against yours waking up your whole nervous system. You like how it feels when heâs looking at you, but you canât help feeling too observed under his gaze.Â
âShould we practice one more time?â You get up as your other hand takes Mingyuâs free one to try and get him off the couch too. He doesnât fight your push, but you still struggle to move him barely an inch.Â
âNow that I think about it, my feet do really hurt.âÂ
When he stands up, your hands dreadly separate as you go press play on the song you had paused earlier.Â
âYouâre a big and strong man, you can handle one more dance.âÂ
The music starts slowly, and when you turn around to go where Mingyuâs standing, heâs quick to put his hands around your waist and bring you to him.Â
Like that day in the dance class, your bodies are quickly coordinated. Youâve been over the same dance for over an hour now, so at this point, every step is engrained in your muscle memory forever.Â
âWhy donât you take the lead on this one?â He mightâve felt your sudden confidence in the moves, but fails to realize itâs only because youâre doing it with him.Â
âDo you have a death wish? The last time I tried to take the lead on a dance like this, it ended really badly.âÂ
âBut youâre doing good now! Iâm sure it couldnât have been that bad.âÂ
âDonât you remember the senior prom? When I made my date trip and he fell onto the chocolate fountain? He got completely covered in melted chocolate.â He shakes his head, making you more confused. âHe dislocated his shoulder. You really donât remember?Â
âI donât-â He chuckles at your story but stops his words when he realizes you donât get what he wants to say, âWe left early.âÂ
âOh⊠I guess you had a good time with your date.â Thinking about him with someone else puts a bad taste in your mouth.Â
âI didnât have a date, I went with the guys.â Somehow, thatâs less believable than you being a good dancer.Â
âI vaguely remember seeing you dance with a girl. Is my memory failing me?â You remember because you hated it.Â
âMaybe I did dance with someone, but I couldnât score a real date.âÂ
âYou canât be serious.âÂ
âI am! Why donât you believe me?Â
âBecause I knew at least ten girls who had a crush on you back then.âÂ
The dance is already forgotten. None of you make the effort to go over the moves. With your arms hanging around his neck and his hands holding on to your waist, youâre just going around in slow circles, eyes connected as your talk turns into something more.Â
âWell, I wasnât interested in them.âÂ
âBut still, you couldâve easily gotten a date.â You could let the subject go, and maybe you should, but you really want to make your point. âI wouldâve gone with you.âÂ
âDonât say things you donât mean.âÂ
âBut I mean it.âÂ
âYou wouldnât have gone with me.âÂ
âYou donât know that.âÂ
âYes I do!â His tone gets serious, and it just makes you more desperate to make him understand. He needs to know heâs wrong.Â
âNo, you donât! You would know if you had asked!âÂ
âI wanted to!Â
You stop in your tracks, looking straight into his eyes, seeing little hints of shock on his face as he realizes what he said. If your bodies were closer, youâre afraid he could feel that you stopped breathing for a second.Â
âWhy didnât you?âÂ
âBecause I knew at least ten guys who had crushes on you back then,â youâre about to shut him off, but he continues, âand you did end up going with one of them.âÂ
âSo, you did see me.âÂ
âYeah, didnât stay much after that."
None of you know what to say, as your minds work tirelessly to understand what this conversation means.Â
âYou really shouldâve asked me.â Thereâs so much more you want to say, but you simply canât.Â
âYou were kind of popular and, I donât know⊠It messed with my head.âÂ
âI didnât care about those stupid labels, and I thought you didnât either.âÂ
âI know you didnât, but I wasnât a confident kid back then, I couldnât just go up to the girl I liked and ask her out.âÂ
Your jaw reaches the floor after hearing those words. The girl he liked?Â
Speechless for a few seconds, you can only look at him, trying to figure out if he meant to say those words specifically. He seems to be proud of what he said, showing no sign of regret.Â
âSo, now that youâre all grown upâŠâ you dare to let your fingers caress the skin at the base of his neck, and his hands tighten around you at the touch.Â
âOne would think that, after so many years, things wouldâve changed but-âÂ
âI donât believe youâre not confident by now.âÂ
âThat did change, but apparently, other things didnât, even after growing up.âÂ
He tilts his head to the side cockily, his piercing gaze making you feel hot all over.Â
âMaybe some things arenât meant to change.â Like an adrenaline rush, itâs your turn to feel confident as one of your hands starts playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. âI'm starting to discover some things are not that different for me either.âÂ
âCould it be, perhaps, the same thing Iâm talking about?â His arms wrap around your waist, bringing you closer to him little by little.Â
âHmm, I donât know, youâre being very vague, I could be talking about still enjoying country music.â You joke so he doesnât notice your heart beating twice as hard as normal.Â
âI think you know what I mean.â His smirk is one new thing about him, not that youâve never seen it before, but the reason behind it makes it way more thrilling to see now.Â
âI want to hear you say it.âÂ
âYou really didnât know? I mean, back then, I always thought I made it obvious.â His chuckle sends shivers down your spine.Â
âI wish I did.â You canât help but think about how your life would be if you made a move on him all those years ago. âBut I never said anything either, I was shy too.âÂ
âGood thing we can make up for the time we lost.â
His droopy eyes send you down a spiral you have a hard time coming back from, all your insides becoming putty, feeling his want through his embrace, but thereâs still one more thing to get to.Â
âYou know⊠you say youâre so confident now and whatnot, but I still havenât heard you say it.â The look you give him is all he needsÂ
âFine, you win, I used to like you, and seeing you again made me realize I still kinda really do, Iâm always eager to get your attention and to spend time with you.â He pauses to take the quickest breath ever, all while youâre losing yours. âI know weâre not the same people as back then, but if you want to, we can get to know each other, again, more mature and less stupid. I have my regrets about how I handled my feelings in the past, but I wonât make the same mistakes again. And I will ask you on a date after the wedding, just a heads up.âÂ
âWow, I was fine with just an âI like youâ, but itâs nice to see youâre just as down bad for me as I am for you.â You confess with a joke because, how can you possibly answer that? Your brain is barely receiving enough oxygen as it is.Â
âAnd one last thing, I really, really, really, want to kiss you right now.âÂ
âThen why are you not doing it?âÂ
It takes a second for the words to register in his head. A second where you only look at each other, almost not believing whatâs happening. The air around you gets so thick, so hot, almost unbearably heavy. And just when your hands begin to push his head your way, his lips attack yours. Â
All the resurfacing feelings come to life, colliding like a thousand stars that have been running to meet for millions of years. His arms around you bring your body closer to his, forcing you on your tiptoes to follow his lead while his hair tangles between your fingers.Â
It's surprisingly slow, yet hungry and desperate, making the other feel everything through the connection of your lips. You move along with him naturally, and when he bites your lower lip as a request for access, you donât hesitate. His hands creep under your shirt just as his tongue dares to move past your lips, exploring your whole body to his liking.Â
Your chests flush together, leaving little to no space between your bodies, and you can do nothing but melt in his embrace. Your hands wander around his arms and back, touching and feeling every muscle they encounter on their way. When his hands travel down your lower back and reach your ass, you sigh on his lips and immediately feel his smirk against you.Â
A furious knock on the door makes you both jump and separate, leaving you looking at each other, breathless and with confused faces, until you hear a knock again, as strong as the first one. Thatâs when Mingyu decides to check his phone and sees it's his roommate, who had apparently forgotten his keys. Both a blessing and a curse.Â
âBro, what the hell? Iâve been calling you for about 15 minutes.â You hear the door opening, followed by a new, deep voice.Â
âI told you I had company.â Their voices echo through the hallway.Â
When they finally reach the living room where youâve been awkwardly trying to make yourself look presentable, the roommate's face morphs into something, a mix of surprise and realization. You rush to gather your stuff after muttering some variation of âhelloâ and 'goodbye' to him. Your heart still pumps twice as fast as normal, and you donât trust youâll be able to handle yourself if you stay for longer.Â
âIâll see you on the weekend?â Mingyu asks when youâve both reached the entry, his hand on the handle, hesitant to unlock the door.Â
You want to kiss him again so badly. His lips are parted, still swollen, calling to you to connect them with yours again.Â
âFind me when you crash the bachelorette party.â You make your best effort to sound confident and not at all dizzy because of him. Â
âYou know about that?âÂ
âThe bridesmaids know everything... Itâs only a surprise for Olivia.â You peck him goodbye, like a promise for more. And the feeling of his lips on yours lasts all night.
Itâs roughly around 1 am. when a high-pitched scream from Olivia announces to everyone at the bar that the bachelor party has officially arrived.Â
The effects from all the alcohol you consumed in the last 4 hours are just starting to fade, only a little buzz left. But that doesnât prevent you from seeing whatâs happening all the way across the room.Â
Mingyu standing with his hip resting on the barstool, listening to Cassie as she drunkenly asks him something. You want to stop looking, not wanting to let all your previous feelings resurface again, not after the recent development in your relationship with him. But just as soon as youâre about to turn your head the other way, Mingyu interrupts Cassieâs rumbling and tells her something, to which she doesnât respond, nods awkwardly, and just walks away, leaving him standing there.Â
Thatâs your signal to walk over to him.Â
âLooks like I found you first.âÂ
âDamn, I wanted to get you a drink first.âÂ
The music and the people drunkenly signing and shouting makes it hard for your voices to reach the other, and Mingyu takes the opportunity to take a step closer to you.Â
You stand against the bar as the room grows warmer and warmer the closer his body gets to yours. His height taunts you as he stands against the bar as well, forcing you to look up so you can see the smirk on his face. His fingers play with yours as the intensity of his stare increases. You donât care that youâre in public, that anyone from the wedding can see you two. Maybe you want them to.Â
âHowâs your night going?â His hair tickles the side of your face.Â
âIt was really fun, I might be growing fond of the girls." You donât remember much, just a vague memory of many different games you played to get drunk, and the feeling of being happy. âHow about yours? Donât tell me you went to a strip club or something like that.âÂ
âActually, we did a drunk escape room, didnât even know those existed until today.â
The closeness between you is getting more worrying by the second, mainly because if you hear his low chuckle next to your ear one more time, you might pass out.Â
âThat sounds horrible!â You chuckle away from his personal space, only to encounter his hungry eyes already looking at you.Â
âIt was fun, I wish you couldâve been there.â His honesty has a sultry tone to it that makes your lungs completely empty of air.Â
âIâm not sure we wouldâve made a good team.âÂ
âWhy? Youâre smart! Or at least you were back then.âÂ
âHey! I still am!âÂ
âI really have to get to know this new you.â
The pink and blue lights reflect on his face, giving him the most beautiful sparkles on his eyes, directed at you.Â
âItâs not that new, Iâm still very introverted, donât talk much when thereâs a lot of people around.âÂ
âI like that, youâre observant, good thing to be while in a escape room.âÂ
âWeâre still talking about that?âÂ
âMaybe, maybe not, I donât really care, I just wanted to spend time with you.âÂ
âAre you drunk?â You can only ask with a smile plastered on your face, but he shakes his head.Â
âYou kinda make me feel like Iâm a teenage boy again, I donât know how to explain it.âÂ
âI think I get it.â You place your hand on his chest, feeling the beating of his heart under it, even harder than the music blasting out of the speakers.Â
âYou know, back then, every time I had a free period, I would make my friends walk past whatever class you had, just to get to see you, at least for a second.â Out of everything heâs drunkenly confessing, this may be the one that surprises you the most because you really never realized he felt the same. He notices you freezing in place. âOnce they found out, I was relentlessly bullied by them.âÂ
âI sure hope it was worth it.â If the lighting was any better, he'd be able to see the cherry red covering your cheeks and ears.Â
âEvery second of it.â Everything around the two of you moves slower, like timeâs stopping only for the outside world, and the muffled background noises do nothing to pierce the bubble around you. âI really want to take you on a date, a real one.âÂ
âI would very much like that.âÂ
You can see the gears turning through Mingyuâs eyes, and you move your eyes down to his lips so he can take the hint. But nothing happens as someone else enters your little world.Â
Oliviaâs aware that somethingâs going on, her eyes switching back and forth between the two of you before she speaks.Â
âI need your help, Iâm sorry to interrupt, but Iâm getting worried about her.âÂ
âAbout who? What happened?â Mingyu stays behind you as you turn to Olivia, grabbing one of your hands, and his warmth gives you goosebumps.Â
âItâs Cassie, sheâs been sitting alone in the restroom for I donât know how long, she's way too drunk and I canât take care of her.â
You now realize sheâs slurring her words, meaning sheâs also too drunk and therefore canât take care of another drunk person, leaving you no choice but to go help Cassie. You look back at Mingyu, who encourages you to go, even if it takes a little too long for his hand to let go of yours.Â
The graffitied restroom provides you with a little more light than the rest of the place, and when you enter, you recognize Cassie sitting on the floor inside one of the stalls. Luckily thereâs no one guarding the bathrooms because if sheâs seen throwing up, it could potentially get you both kicked out.Â
You sit on the dirty floor beside her without saying a word, letting her know youâre here to help without giving her a headache. Her foreheadâs resting on top of her knees as she hugs her legs tightly. But after a minute or two of silence, you decide itâs best to check if sheâs at least awake.Â
âCassie? Are you okay?â Your hand on her shoulder makes her look up at you.Â
âI donât feel so good, I just want to sit down for a while.â She sounds tired, her husky voice giving away all the talking and singing sheâs been doing all night.Â
âDo you need anything? I can get you a cup of water.âÂ
âNo, please, just stay here a bit, I didnât want anyone to see me but I donât want to be alone.âÂ
âOk, Iâll stay, let me know if you need something, anything.âÂ
Time passes by, the music making it easier for you to not get bored. A few people enter the restroom from time to time, too drunk or too in a hurry to notice you both sitting down. Olivia passes by the door a few times, hovering, checking if everythingâs okay (and if youâre still in the same position as the previous time). You just smile and nod, letting her go back to her party time and time again. But at last, in one of her check-ins, she finally walks inside.Â
âHey, Mingyuâs looking for you!â Both you and Cassie look up at Olivia, but her eyes point at you. âWhat do I tell him?âÂ
You instinctively look to Cassie by your side, and her expression falls.Â
âDonât, donât go with him.â She finds the strength to plead to you, but she seems more worried than anything.Â
âWhy? Did he do something? Is that why youâre hiding here?â Olivia asks, and you realize she didnât leave after you didnât answer her.Â
âNo, no, I mean, yes Iâm hiding from him, but he didn't do anything, it was me, I embarrassed myself.âÂ
âWhy are you telling me not to go with him then?âÂ
âDo you like him?âÂ
âI-â Wow, blunt question out of the blue.Â
âYou can be honest, itâs fine.âÂ
âYeah, I do, I like him.â
Telling them, her, the truth feels kind of freeing. Finally admitting in front of them that you like someone, after not being able to for so many years, itâs like you can finally breathe.Â
âThen, for your own good, donât go with him, heâs seeing someone.âÂ
âWhat? How do you know?â That freedom lasts barely seconds before a new weight falls right on top of your lungs.Â
âHe told me, when the guys got here, he said that heâs been after a girl for years and they recently started going out.âÂ
âAre you sure? Did he use those words?âÂ
âIâm not saying it verbatim, I donât remember it exactly word for word, but thatâs what he meant.âÂ
Could he possibly be talking about you? How recent is ârecentlyâ supposed to mean? You havenât even started officially dating. Is confessing your feelings considered the start of dating? Is it supposed to be this confusing? Are you going to believe her? Not that Cassieâs a liar, but you donât know the context nor the exact words he used, and she doesnât know what happened between you and him either.Â
âShould I go tell him something?â Olivia's already standing up, your silence not helping the situation.Â
âJust-" You donât want to push him away, but itâs not the time to resolve this. The whole thing is too confusing to be making desperate decisions at this hour of the night, âTell him to go have fun with the guys, Iâm getting Cassie home.âÂ
The loudest alarm you couldâve ever set up wakes you up with a jump. Your head hurts like your inside out emotions are building houses inside your skull. But the memories still hit you as soon as your eyelids burst open. Some decisions were definitely made the night before. Wrong ones? Thatâs to be seen today.
And thanks to the gods and Oliviaâs always late waking family, youâre not supposed to be at the venue until 11 am. Only bad news, Itâs on a luxury complex outside the city. You have time for a real breakfast and a shower, but all the thinking and feeling will have to wait.
You unlock your phone to find the last text conversation open and the messages you barely remember sending stare at you through the dim screen.
Mingyu: you left so suddenly
Mingyu: everything ok?
You: yeah
You: had to take Cass to her place, she wasnât feeling well
Mingyu: thatâs too bad, hope she feels better
Mingyu: you just got home?
You: yep, about to go to bed
Mingyu: great, just checking before i head to sleep
Mingyu: sleep well, big day tomorrow
Admittedly, you were a little dry. Cassieâs words were still lingering on your mind, making you doubt everything. One side of your brain telling you that he was probably talking about you, he explained what he felt and what he wanted and sounded sure and truthful. But, the other part of your brain, the still self-conscious and self-doubting side, also makes valid points. The void years in between your relationship werenât mentioned in his confession, and you technically arenât dating. He hasnât even asked you out yet! Itâs too conflicting. But you know you have to face both of them today. After the ceremony.
The taxi ride to the venue is not only long but full of traffic. The sun shining bright directly to your face, the light humming of the driver to the songs of the radio and the occasional car horn on the distance, somehow make it bearable, with all the thoughts about the previous night, switching sides between the he said she said, itâs nice to have something constant while your minds goes on a rollercoaster.
A rollercoaster that doesnât stop even when you arrive. As soon as you step foot outside the car, Oliviaâs mom rushes you upstairs to where the make-up artists set up. Thereâs no time to admire the beautiful countryside venue. You walk past the door to where the ceremonyâs going to be held later, but rush up the stairs without even looking. The green dress already waiting for you at the door, an infinite echo of voices and even more people running around make the atmosphere feel dizzying.
Nothing slows down for even a second. Even when youâre sitting down having your make-up done, around you thereâs only people rushing to do everything, stressing about the little details, people running into the room to tell Olivia or her mom about decorations, the wedding planner coming in and out constantly, checking everythingâs in order. Itâs kind of beautiful how all this mess has the sole purpose of making today the best day for the couple. Even if it doesnât look like it, no one will remember the dress that wasnât properly ironed, or the string of hair that had too much hairspray on it, or the too slippery shoes that made it a chore to walk on the tiled floor.
So much chaos happens between the hair and make-up, and then with the photoshoots, you donât have time to talk to Mingyu. Your eyes would cross from time to time, but those milliseconds of him in a suit glaring at you from across the room are enough, and thereâs so much of that you can take before an internal chain reaction begins.
The walk downstairs, after all the make-up retouches and fixes to any rebellious stray hair that didnât want to stay in place, feels like the first calm and slow moment of the day. As the steps get closer and closer to the bottom floor, the red carpet muffling the clicking of your shoes, your insides feel fire-like when you see Mingyu waiting for you by the final step, an unknowing smile on his face. His eyes drill holes on your figure, scanning you up and down shamelessly.
âYou chose this one, I like it.â He whispers by your ear as you walk to the door, where every pair is already waiting. A little smile shows on your face, but it fades when your eyes encounter Cassieâs, watching the two of you with a frown so little you only notice because she immediately relaxes her face.
The music starts before you can say anything to Mingyu, and one by one, each of the bridesmaids start walking down the aisle, arms linked with the groomsmen, gracefully walking forward as the eyes of every guest fall on them. Your arm tangled with his is the first touch you share since many days ago, and even with all the conflict making your mind a blur, your heart speeds up at the feeling of his muscles.
Nothing seems slow anymore, and the ceremony almost goes by without noticing. There isnât one second where you donât feel Mingyuâs eyes on you, making it impossible to focus â or pretend to focus â on what the priest is saying.
The moment your brain reconnects with your ears, Thomas delivers the most beautiful vows youâve ever heard. You met the guy only once, never even spoken to him, but the way he speaks so fondly about Olivia makes your heart clutch in your chest, and your throat tries to fight it, but you end up bursting with tears. But youâre not the only one with a cascade of dramatic tears falling with seemingly no end. As the room fills with applause and even some whistles at the first kiss between the officially married couple, you see some people with tissues, quietly blowing their nose.
But the never-ending rush in time continues, everyone sprinting to sit at their tables for the reception. The last retouches of make-up get done quickly. The girls gossip to kill the time before the dance, because for them itâs moving so slowly, but in the blink of an eye, youâre going out the door once again, just as Cassie taps on your shoulder. You turn to her, expecting her to be angry, or at least to start speaking, but it looks like sheâs still figuring out what to say.
âThank you, for taking care of me last night, Iâm sure you wouldâve preferred to enjoy the party.â
âI wasnât going to leave you alone, itâs fine, you donât have to thank me. Are you feeling better?â
âYeah, I am! But actually, I wanted to apologize.â Your head spins, dizzy from the world suddenly stopping hearing her words. âI didnât know there was something going on between you two.â
âThereâs not- I mean, not much happened, I didnât want to cause a fuzz over it.â
âBut you shouldâve told me you liked him, at least! If I knew about it, I wouldnât have gone after him.â You see in her eyes nothing but honesty. âI know weâre not as close as before, but these are the things we need to tell each other. Itâs the girl code.â
âI donât really know why I didnât, I know I shouldâve, I didnât know how.â Youâve now started to go downstairs to the reception, already the time to dance in pairs.
âLook, itâs okay if youâre not comfortable telling me this, but did something happen? Was he talking about you last night?â
Youâve reached where everyone is waiting, and youâre too embarrassed to look up and possibly find Mingyu standing there, leg-melting and breathtaking.
âI thought about it but I donât know, maybe?â
Back at the reception, the music starts, signaling the newlyweds are about to begin their first dance, meaning in no time youâll have to step in and dance around them.
âIâm going to ask you three questions and you just have to answer yes or no. There's no need for explanation, okay?â
âOâŠKay?â
âSo, you two knew each other in school, did you like him?â You nod shyly, not looking in her eyes, embarrassed to be talking about this so openly, âDid he like you?â You nod again, âAnd did something happen recently that would indicate that he would like to date you in the near future?â
You give her a final nod and finally look up at her. She sighs, taking your hand and squeezing it to make you pay attention.
âThen he meant you dummy! Go, talk to him. Heâs been staring at you all day like a lost puppy.â
When you dare to look his way, where you just knew he was standing, heâs looking at you, a little smirk on his lips and subtly motioning he's ready to take your hand. You didnât notice it was already time, and everyone around you stands in their position.
The pairs start entering one by one, and your smile trembles, feeling the eyes of every guest on you. Your fingers barely graze his, but they feel raw, like you can feel every particle of his hand below yours. The electric fire emerging from where your skin connects with his runs through your veins in record time.
But as soon as the music starts and Mingyu turns you so youâre looking at him, everything is forgotten. The steps come easily, his eyes calm but observing, his hand on your waist guiding you as he did every time you practiced.
âYouâve been avoiding me.â He whispers, not wanting to disrupt the moment, but knowing itâs the only time youâll get alone.
âI swear I didnât mean to.â
You panic. There was so much to do and so few words you could come up with to say to him that maybe you unconsciously avoided him by locking yourself up in the make-up room.
âDid I do something wrong?â He doesnât sound hurt, but rather just plain curious, eager to work this out between you two.
âNo! it was just a misunderstanding,â he waits for you to continue, but the part of your brain that makes sense starts crumbling, making it impossible to form a coherent argument, âI- can I ask you something? It might sound stupid, Iâm warning you.â
âGo ahead.â He chuckles, his feet continuing to dance while you've already forgotten about it. One of your hands stays on his shoulder, while the other is being held by him, still in the air by your sides, reaching the height of your shoulders.
âYouâre not dating anyone, are you?â
He doesnât let the silence even come close to the two of you, chuckling quietly so youâre the only one who can hear it.
âIâm not, hard to believe I know, but Iâm painfully single.â
âGreat, I just wanted to make sure.â
âI remember telling you I want to take you on a date.â
âY-yeah, of course I remember that too."
The pit of your stomach lights up at the remainder of that afternoon in his home, your bodies as close as they are at this moment.
âThen what made you think that?â
âYou just, you said to Cassie last night that you started seeing someone recently and, I donât know, we didnât technically start dating, so I panicked.â Saying it out loud to him, it sounds ridiculous, but if he thinks that, he doesnât show it.
âOh that, yeah, I mightâve gotten ahead of myself, but hey, think of it as manifesting.â Heâs so charming that you donât care that heâs making no sense.
âNext time, donât tell a drunk girl whoâs flirting with you the wrong information. She might spread it around.â
The synchronized chuckle you let out makes you pay attention to the forgotten situation. Youâre dancing and havenât tripped once, like your muscles got a life of their own and remembered every single step. And you suddenly realize how close your body is to Mingyuâs. One hand down the small of your back, pressing just enough to hold you in his personal space, his face close enough that you could concentrate on his breathing and feel the light exhales on your face.
When the music ends, the applause makes you look around, and your cheeks feel warm immediately, noticing all the eyes on every one of you. But the attention is short-lived, as you and Mingyu walk quickly to your table so the couple can do the welcome toasts. You don't miss how he slides your chair closer to his before you sit down.
Sitting by your side, Mingyuâs body and yours are connected by an electric current, drawing you closer. His knee stays glued to yours, and the cut on the side of your dress allows your bare skin to brush against the fabric of his pants. A conversation takes place between everyone at the table, one of the guys telling a story about something funny that happened with Tom back in high-school, but itâs hard to pay any real attention when Mingyuâs fingers start tracing circles on your knee. Heâs not even doing to be a tease. It seems like itâs a habit of his, one that youâre just discovering. You donât stop your fingers from playing with his, and a subtle smirk forms on his lips at your action.
Itâs not like youâre doing anything too flashy or indecent, but you do your best to mask your reactions to his touches, to try and keep the people of the table unaware of the not so innocent things going on under the fancy tablecloth. He only notices your changes because heâs paying attention to you. The way your chest rises just a tad bit more when his hand goes a little over your knee, or how you drink from your cold glass of water when he presses on the skin of your inner thigh, but when heâs about to move his hand off of you, you put yours on his to keep it in place. You also notice things throughout the night, for example, that Mingyu isnât drinking a lot, restricting to one glass of champagne per serving. You do the same, wanting to remember this night in the future.
Mingyu stands up when the dancefloor opens again, turning down an offer to go to the bar for something stronger than sparkling wine. Instead, he reaches for your hand, silently inviting you to dance with him, to which you agree, with a smile and avoiding his eyes. Following behind him, he doesnât let go of your hand, even when youâve reached the spot he wanted. People join you on the dancefloor, drunkenly vibing to the dj set, surrounding you, and blocking you from anyone you know. Itâs feels almost private. Whatever song is playing on the speakers, it doesnât prevent you from following your own rhythm in your own world. Your arms wrap around Mingyuâs neck, and both of his hands hold your waist, mirroring the evening at his place.
âSo, tell me, what other embarrassing things did you do when you liked me?â
He throws his head back in embarrassment, sighing with a smile before daring to look at you again. His ears turn a light shade of pink, and you swear you can feel his heartbeat between your bodies.
âI really told you that, did I? I was hoping you wouldn't remember.â
âNope, I remember it very vividly actually.â
âLetâs leave the embarrassing stories for the future, I wasnât in my best condition last night.â
âYouâre making me too curious now, but how drunk did you get last night?â
âHonestly, I was just nervous about seeing you and about tonight.â He might be confessing another embarrassing thing, but behind his truthful tone, thereâs something you canât quite decipher.
âWhatâs there to be nervous about tonight?â
Your heels allow you to be in his line of sight, and your chests are too close. If you inhaled deeply, youâd be able to feel him on you. He takes advantage of your new height and forces your attention to go to his lips, smirking shamelessly as he thinks his next words.
âDid I tell you how pretty you look today?"
One hand comes close to your face, removes a strand of hair from blocking your view, and tucks it behind your ear.
âOh, shut up.â
You canât even think of a snarky response, your brain melting and showing just how much he affects you. Goosebumps spread all across your arms and back at the feel of his hand caressing your skin.
âI canât, itâs all Iâve thinking about all day, you, this dress, and you in this dress.â
You instinctively hide your face on the crook of his neck, his cologne invading your senses. Itâs hard to think of words when heâs looking at you like he wants to eat you whole.
âI got it because of you. Do you really like it?â
Not that you need any confirmation, since heâs told you twice already, but it wouldnât hurt to hear it from him one more time. Your reveal makes his smirking lips graze your ear, sending shivers down your spine, and his voice drops an octave to answer.
âI love the dress, but Iâll love it more once I get it off you.â
âI hate you.â
You barely manage to say, your chest rising but breathless at the same time. Your bodyâs automatic reaction is to push him away, and your hands go straight to his chest to try, but of course itâs pointless. His hands catch yours, not letting you leave his personal space. He taunts you by spinning you around, and once you do a full twirl, he grabs you by the waist again and brings your body to his.
âYou have no idea how hard it was for me that day when you stepped out, wearing this.â He gets closer to your ear with every word. You hate it and love it. For one, you can hide from his teasing eyes and blush in peace, but on the other hand, you are cheek to cheek with him, his breath fanning lightly on your side, and you can feel heâs still smirking. âYouâre lucky there were other people in the room.â
A breath catches in your throat, and you swallow hard. You thank all the gods there are out there for being surrounded by drunk people. Because to anyone on their senses, your reaction to Mingyu's words would be too obvious.
âI really hate you right now.â
Itâs getting harder and harder to ignore the heat growing at the pit of your stomach.
âYou donât.â
âI do.â
âI think itâs quite the opposite actually.â
How are you supposed to play hard to get when his hands hold you like he wants to keep you forever?
âYou think you know everything.â
You catch your voice about to tremble when his free hand starts going down the side of your arm, from your shoulder down until your hand, and interlocks his fingers with yours.
âIf you hate me then, I canât tell you the secret Iâve been keeping all night.â
âHave you been secretly writing an article about how to break someoneâs heart in 10 days?â
âI love that movie, but it has been well over 10 days, I couldnât make the deadline.â
âRom-com connoisseur, noted.â You jokingly nod, but not forgetting whatâs important. âNow tell me.â
âSo, you know how they told us there were rooms available for anyone that couldn't drive home?â You nod, too enthusiastically. âI may or may not have booked one for tonight, and if you want to, thereâs space for one more, we donât have to do anything if you donât want toâŠâ He keeps talking, something about you watching him do something, but you get lost in the way his lips move as he talks, so pink and fast and hypnotizing.
âIsnât it rude to just leave?â
The question leaves your mouth more to tease him than anything else. You want to be alone with him so badly, feel his body all over yours, his hands everywhere he can reach, ripping this godforsaken dress off you.
Before the last food serving rolls out and everyone scatters to go back to their seat, you sneak out of the reception, but the drunk bodies are not making it easy. Mingyu leads the way with you grabbing his hand and walking behind him. You donât know if you couldâve managed another teasing touching session under the table.
You take a left turn into the hallway just at the same time as one of Olivia's drunk uncles, a stranger to the both of you, whoâs half asleep using the wall to steady himself as he walks. The music echoes through the walls, and you can only look at each other, half about to burst out laughing and half needing to take the others clothes off, as you walk as nonchalantly as possible past the man trying his best to open his door.
Giggling like teenagers, you finally reach your room at the end of the hallway, but the second you enter, the atmosphere changes. Standing by the closed door, shoes off, panting, and frozen in place, you only look at each other. Your breaths regulate, and your smiles slowly fade off your expressions as the realization hits. Itâs real. Heâs here, and youâre here, in a room just for the two of you. His eyes are bound to your parted lips, but you wouldnât know, as yours are also unable to leave his.
Like magnets, brutally drawn to each other, your lips finally reconnect in a hungry, desperate kiss. After learning how sweet he tastes, how his lips glide over yours so easily, how he wraps his arms around you to keep you close to him, there was only so much time you could spend in abstinence.
No words needed, the want translating in the way your hands push him against you, his hands traveling across your back, touching and groping everywhere he can reach. After the long day testing your patience, neither of you can slow down.
His fang claws at your bottom lip, making you whimper against him. He drinks in any sound you make, his arms bringing your body impossibly closer to his, almost making you one. No one is in control, both of you just touching and grabbing anywhere you can, desperate for more.
Your mouths reluctantly separate as Mingyu starts leaving a trail of kisses down your neck and biting lightly on your sensitive skin, making you gasp. You can only thread your fingers on his hair, encouraging him to leave any marks he wishes to.
âIs this okay?â
His raspy voice travels to your ears, and you donât trust yourself to not make unholy noises if you open your mouth to answer. But just as youâre humming, he digs his teeth just above your clavicle, turning your hum into a moan.
He slowly slides the straps of your dress down your shoulders, his fingers teasing your skin on the way down. His hand travels across your chest, only the silky green fabric in between your fiery skin and his teasing fingers. They go over your pointy hard nipples, feeling everything on its way, but not letting it stay anywhere for more than a second.
âAre you going to take it off?â
Your breathlessness makes him chuckle, smug and cocky as ever.
âRushed?â
âVery. Youâre the one that put the thought in my head, now take care of it!â His hands sneak up your back, playing with the zipper of your dress.
âDonât act so innocent.â His tone goes straight to your core. The fabric around you loosens up as his hand runs down your spine, but he stops before it gets too loose to slip down. âYou think I didnât see the way you looked at me all day? Youâre not slick.â
He takes a step back to take off his suit jacket, absentmindedly throwing it to the side without breaking eye contact. But you don't let yourself get shy.
âWho said I was trying to hide it?â
Your hands run from his shoulders to his chest, unbuttoning his shirt one by one as his breathing speeds up. The warmth of his body envelops your hands, your fingers barely grazing the skin above his pants, and his muscles tense at your touch before you slip his shirt off.
âNow whoâs the one teasing?â
Pulling on the red tie around his neck, he swallows hard as you bring his head closer to yours, so close you unconsciously flutter your eyes closed. His bare chest rises against yours as you undo his tie slowly. You could tilt your chin up and break the tension once more, but something in you wants to keep teasing him.
A step back is all you need to have his lips chase you, and he opens his eyes, droopy and confused, to find you slipping your dress off. His stare turns surprised and hungry as you reveal yourself for him, but his body stays frozen in place.
âIâm supposed to do that.â
Itâs your time to chuckle now, taking a step forward again. His hands slot on your waist instinctively, traveling to your stomach, enjoying the feeling of your soft skin against his hands.
âYouâll get to do it next time.â The sentence is almost left unfinished, a breath getting caught in your throat when his hands dare go up your chest. But theyâre gone in a heartbeat, as they reach your face and tilt it so you can properly look at him.
âAre you sure you want to do this?â No teasing tone on his voice.
âIâm literally naked in front of you.â Your hands go back up to his neck, pushing his head slightly down, reaching a hypnotic closeness. âI want this, I want you Mingyu.â
Confirmation is all he needed to let loose, to let the want take over his body and soul. He connects your lips with force, and wastes no time. With his hands on your ass and his tongue working its way inside your mouth, he stumbles backwards until you both fall on the bed.
With you on top of Mingyu, your hands make their way across his chest, his golden skin glistening due to the sweat. You can feel his hard muscles tense under your touch, making him sigh on your mouth when you find his sensitive spots. His hands move to your hips and push you down on him, making you both moan un unison because of the first friction between your cores.
His growing hard grinds deliciously against you. Even with his pants still between you, you can feel how big he is, and the wet patch on your panties grows by the second. Your lips are still smashed together, a mess of saliva allowing your lips you glide faster and hungrier on his, your tongues becoming one, not wanting to separate ever again.
Your hands find their way down his abdomen, reaching where his pants hang on his hips. The absence of a belt makes it easier for you to unbutton them, and he takes the off expertly, all without ever taking his hands off you.
The second your hand sneaks under his underwear, he groans under you, disconnecting your mouths to take a look at you.
âIs it embarrassing to be already close?â His blood red lips are parted, breathing out his confession, and you almost moan, clenching around nothing because of the sight, or his confession, or maybe the whimper he fights when you wrap your hand around him.
âYouâre so big, fuck.â You sigh, and the side of his mouth quirks up, but slowly disappears as you start sliding your hand down, smearing the precum on his length.
âIâm not gonna hurt you.â
His eyes have a mix of concern and lust on them, and your body doesnât know how to react, your stomach flips, your hands tremble, and your underwear grows wetter.
âI know you wonât.â
You climb down on him, your eyesight reaching where his boxers begin to tent. His gaze follows you, like he canât believe the reality of whatâs happening. You take off the last piece of clothing left on his body, and his dick springs free, standing proud and angry red in front of your eyes. The throb on your throat makes you move forward, wrapping your lips around his leaking tip.
âWait. Donât.â You look up at him but heâs facing the ceiling, ears red and eyes closed. âI canât.â
âI havenât done anything.â You play innocent, and a smirk appears on your face when he finally looks at you, resting on his elbows.
âExactly, thatâs why I canât, I need to have a little bit of pride left.â
âWhat do you suggest we do?â You slowly climb up on him again, his hands moving to your hips like they got a life of their own. One hand on his chest and one hand on his jaw, you kiss him softly, and he melts at your touch.
A soft moan is heard, could be from him, could be from you, but your mind is too clouded to care when he rolls his hips against yours, following the pace of your lazy kiss. A rush of arousal takes over your body when he presses you harder against him, his length sliding perfectly with your core, your wetness making it easier to reach every point that makes you gasp.
âI want,â his lips stop working on yours, but his arms keep you from separating. You feel his every breath, every gasp at the friction, and his lips graze yours when he speaks, âI want to taste you.â
âFuck.â He might just be able to feel the new rush of wetness dampening your panties further and smearing around his hard below you. His hands push your hips up his body. He told you what he wants, and heâs showing you exactly how he wants it. âAre you sure? I donât want to crush your skull.â
âI wouldnât mind that, at least Iâd die happy.â
âWell, I canât argue with that if you want it.â
The chuckle he lets out reverberates from his chest up through your whole body. Thereâs not much you can do besides complying with his wants, especially with the way your bodyâs reacting to the sole idea of it and the way heâs moving you to where he wants.
His hands sneak under the strings of your underwear, and as you climb higher and higher, he removes them easily, leaving you bare on top of him.
âYouâre so wet, shit.â Your pussy pulsates just above his face. You canât see his reaction, but you for sure can hear it, âI wouldâve done this sooner if I knew this was waiting for me.â
From your point of view, his whole face is covered, by you, on top of him, only his messy hair laying on the mattress can be seen. A view thatâs dizzying and hypnotic at the same time, and you canât think of any answer to give him. His breath on your wet core makes you shiver, but youâre afraid to sit down, afraid youâll hurt him.
Mingyu senses your hesitation and gives you no more time to doubt. His head rises until his tongue meets your folds, flattening on you, desperate to make you feel good. The sudden stimulation makes your legs tremble, and you would've fell on his face if it wasnât from his hands still holding your hips.
He starts making out with your cunt, moaning and groaning against it like this is also pleasurable for him. His tongue finds every place that makes you gasp, moan and whimper, and with every lap at your folds, a nasty wet sound accompanies it.
A shaky moan escapes out of you when he envelops your clit with his lips and sucks lightly, making you grab the headboard so you donât fall on him.
You mustâve fully sit on his mouth in your search for support, because he moans louder against your pussy, and you can feel everything. His lips and tongue working to drink every drop of arousal that leaves you, discovering every sensitive spot you didnât know about.
The tip of his nose bumps your clit just as his tongue finds its way inside your pulsing hole, and you instinctively move your hand down to pull at his hair. The action encourages him to go faster, harder, and when you grind on his face and he groans like heâs enjoying it, you let go.
Riding him, chasing your high, youâre using his tongue for your own pleasure. Your hand on his hair tightens, and you lose the little control you had of your throat. But the unfiltered sounds you make just push him harder. Every one of your senses is clouded. The wet sounds, the way he moans against you, his tongue already knowing where to go to make you squirm, everything culminates without warning.
You cum on his tongue faster than you have ever before. Your thighs tremble at either side of his head, and you realize youâre crushing him between them. But he doesn't let you get up. His tongue continues to work on you,
He cleans you up, drinking every last drop of arousal smeared on your skin. You spasm over him every time he ânot so accidentallyâ flicks your clit with the tip of his tongue, starting to get you overstimulated.
You use the strength you have left to push his head back, and take advantage of his surprise to plop down on his side, your back on the mattress and your pussy finally away of his eager mouth.
âAre you okay?â
From the corner of your eye, while you try to recover, you see Mingyu doing his best to clean the lower side of his face.
âYeah, fuck, that was a lot.â You manage to say in between breaths. âI need a second.â
âIf youâre too tired, we can st- fuck.â
You donât give time to overthink, quickly getting on top of him again, your swollen dripping cunt right on top of his still hard cock.
âSecond's over.â Only a little smirk is the warning he gets before youâre grinding on top of him again. All of your juices mix as you slowly ride back and forth, his length sliding between your wet folds deliciously. âIâm clean, and on the pill, are you?â
âOn the pill? Unfortunately not.â How he manages to make you laugh even on your horniest moments will forever remain a mystery. âBut Iâm clean, Iâve never had sex without a condom before.â
âMe neither. I guess this will be a new experience for the both of us.â The sole thought of it makes his dick twitch under you.
âAre you sure?â His hand cups the side of your face, and his eyes look at you with such care that you could melt in an instant.
âYes, I donât want to wait anymore. Weâve waited long enough.â That seems to relax him, his hands beginning to roam freely across your torso.
Sliding forward makes the veins of his cock drag along every sensitive spot and you both moan before his tip finally prods at your entrance. A loud hiss comes out of him as you align yourself with his length and push his tip in.
But before you can go any further, he wraps his arms around your waist and turns you around so your back is against the mattress. You gasp at the sudden change, and when he starts slowly sinking into you, filling every possible space inside you, you lose your breath.
His cock being covered by your fluids makes it easier, and when he finally bottoms out, so deep you feel him everywhere, you hear him trying to muffle a moan. Your gummy walls clamp around him, trying to get used to his size. The twitch of his length feels stronger while inside you, and you know heâs trying to resist the urge to pound into you.
âMove, please, I need you.â Your pathetic whimper triggers another smirk out of him, and as he moves down to give you a soft kiss, his eyes darken.
âWhatever my girl wants.â
The slow drag of his cock as he starts sliding it out almost make you delirious, but before his tip slips out, he snaps his full length right back in, making your body jolt upwards. You can't speak properly, a curse you canât even hear leaves your mouth before he repeats the action, again and again.
âSo deep, Mingyu, fuck.â The brutal pace he sets has him abusing every single sensitive spot inside you, even the ones you didnât know about, hitting relentlessly where it makes you scream, and youâre seeing stars.
âYou donât say my name often,â his voice is raspy and deep, almost mirroring the way his cock pistons inside of you, âI like how it sounds coming out of you."
Your palms are against the headboard and youâre sure the bed hitting against the wall can be heard from other rooms, but when one of his hands sneak between your bodies and starts circling your clit, you stop caring all along.
The grinding of your hips matches his rhythm, accentuating everything as he drives you closer and closer. With his face just above yours, you can only look him in the eyes and let him watch your face contort in pleasure feeling every vein of his cock dragging inside of you. With any other person, you would be self-conscious, but as he finds that spot inside you that makes you squirm, you forget the world around you and focus on grabbing his strong arms for support.
His teeth find your neck again, biting and kissing on your soft skin, pushing you closer and closer to the edge, and he doesnât stop drilling his hips into you. Somehow, you feel him deeper with every thrust, and the only thing you can do is claw your nails on his arms and back, encouraging him more and more.
âYouâre so tight, shit.â His hips stutter when you clench hearing his voice. âTell me youâre close, please, fuck, I donât now how long I got."
âYes! Yes, donât stop.â You tighten impossibly harder around him when you feel him pinch one of your nipples. Heâs literally everywhere, stimulating every spot to tip you over the edge.
Your arms and legs cage his body so close to yours that he has trouble keeping up with his pace, but that doesn't stop him from pounding hard. The sound of skin your skin hitting against his and his groans are like music to your ears.
It's when his thumb teases your clit again that you finally snap.
You tremble around him, moaning uncontrollably as he keeps pounding into you, prolonging your orgasm as he pleases and chasing his own. But heâs far gone too. Your sweet moans in his ear and your walls clenching around him so perfectly are enough to have him spilling inside you.
Sleepiness is about to get you when you feel him sliding out you and plopping by your side. Naturally, one of his arms slots under you as your head rests on the crook of his neck.
Thereâs silence while you both catch your breaths, his hand softly drawing circles on your back and yours on his chest. As reality sinks in, giddiness fills your entire body, and you canât contain the smile growing against his golden skin.
âDid you do any embarrassing things back then?â The sudden interrogation makes your cheeks turn red.
âIâm guessing thereâs no way out of this, right?â You avoid looking up at him to not make your shyness obvious, and you feel him shake his head as an answer. âFine⊠you know⊠your fangs?â
âMy fangs?!â Amusement and surprise mix on his voice.
âFuck this is so embarrassing.â Youâre caged between his arms but you manage to cover your face with your hands.
âYou liked my fangs?â
âI still do, but yeah, I would just draw little fangs everywhere, I guess no one ever noticed because they looked more like vampâ"
âWould you like to have dinner with me tomorrow?â He luckily interrupts your embarrassing rant with his pending question.
âAlready? You want to see me again that badly?â You feel the chuckle on his chest before you hear it, and at that moment, itâs the best sound youâve ever heard.
âI plan on taking you on dates at least three times a week. Youâre never getting rid of me now.â He embraces you in his arms, chests flushed together, and when you tilt your head up, heâs already looking at you, expectant for your answer. âSo, what do you say?â
âYes, I would love to have dinner with you tomorrow.â The smile he gives you might be the most blinding smile youâve ever seen. âBut just so you know, I do not have sex on first dates.â

Heâs handsome. Like really handsome.Â
Your stomach does a flip as he smiles at you, reaching for the bottle of Jack between your legs â wait. Pause. Rewind. Howâd we get here?
Living in the same apartment complex as Wade Wilson was a trip. Even more of a trip was living across the hall from him. The things you heard coming from that apartment... nobody would believe you. So, you never told anyone.Â
Heâs kind. Albeit, zany but kind. Your interactions have been cordial and nauseatingly neighbourly. But on one regular ol' Tuesday afternoon, Wade invited you inside. He said something about having a party later that night, making tacos and being neighborly. He assured you that it wasn't a sex party... which to be honest, you weren't worried about until he'd mentioned it. Against your better judgement though, you'd agreed, and said you'd bring some liquor.
So, that evening, you opened your door, one bottle of Jack tucked under your arm, and another in your left hand. You shut the door to your apartment and walked straight across to your neighbourâs door. Your fist had rapped against the wood only twice before the door swung open, revealing Wade, and a very⊠strange and very bald looking dog in his arms.Â
"Oh, what the fuck?" You asked, looking down at the creature. "I didn't know you had a dog�"
Wadeâs voice rose an octave or two, in a cutesy tone. "She's a new addition, yes she is!"Â
"I brought... well, this. Sorry, it was all I had in my cabinets and to be perfectly honest, I wasn't about to go out and spend money on this. I like⊠barely know you."
"HA! Brutal honesty. We love to hear it."Â
Wade took hold of your shoulder and yanked you inside, harsh enough that you made a small sound as he did. He shut the door with his foot, and towed you towards the table, where everyone was gathered. And that was when you first saw him. He wore all black, save for a tan trench coat with a high collar. He lounged casually on one of the dining chairs, playing with a deck of cards. They fluttered from hand to hand effortlessly, and for a moment, you were stuck, mesmerized by the dexterous way he handled them. You weren't sure what was pulling you towards him harder, your heart or your cunt, but you felt an undeniable draw to the man.
Wade's arm wound itself around your shoulders, guiding you around the room to meet each of his friends. At that point, living next to him, mutants were a forced transition. You were used to the concept of them, so meeting a giant silver man, for example, wasn't unexpected. Vanessa was the most normal - you were pretty sure she was human.
Finally, he got to the one you really wanted to meet. The one that your eyes had been darting back and forth to the entire time, the one that when he briefly met your gaze, your heart thudded in your chest.Â
"And this... handsome slice of man, is the Gambit. Good luck understanding him, he's a real mouthful."
Iâll bet he is, you thought.Â
He pocketed the cards in a quick motion and stood up from his chair. With a syrup-smooth chuckle, the man laughed and said: "You can call me Remy." He did in fact have a thick Cajun accent and spoke quickly â almost too quickly. You blinked once, focusing hard on his words.
"Remy," you repeated finally, before saying your own name and extending your hand. He took it gently and as he shook it, your palm tingled with what felt like electricity.
"Enchanté." (Enchanted)
Your cheeks burned, and you knew they were flushing. You couldnât control it. "De mĂȘme..." (Likewise.)
His brows lifted, surprised. "You speak French, mon ami?" (my friend)Â
"Heh, uhh... comme un enfant." (Like a child) You chuckled low, averting your eyes for a millisecond. "I took a few years of it in high school and again in college. Iâm by no means an expert."
Wade's eyes were wide, flicking back and forth between the two of you. There was obvious chemistry there, and a knowing smirk drew itself across his lips. Abruptly, he yanked one of the bottles of Jack Daniels from beneath your arm, before leaning against the nearby wall.
"Oh, fuck me. You understand Gumbo here? Thatâs cute. No idea what either of you are saying though, someone forgot to turn the subtitles on. I'll leave you two to get acquainted." Whatever that meant. You scoffed, but turned your attention back to Gambit, looking at him.
âSit a while, cher.âÂ
You happily took the chair that he pulled out, not caring that it was facing away from the others, and plopped down onto it, situating the other bottle of Jack between your legs. You gripped the neck of the bottle tightly, and looked at him with a timid, but a come hither sort of smile. After a moment, you twisted the cap off, and flicked it off somewhere to your right. Wade would find it later, or he wouldnât. You didnât really care.Â
You two talked for hours, most of which consisted of him telling you about the Void, and how hard it had been, while you pretended to comprehend it. Between words, you passed the bottle back and forth, taking mouthfuls, and inadvertently swapping spit as you did. The thought occurred to you about halfway through the conversation, and your stomach tightened. You shook your head lightly and clenched your thighs together, trying to stave off the arousal that was bubbling in your core.Â
There we go. Thatâs better.
Heâs handsome. Like really handsome.Â
Your stomach does a flip as he smiles at you, reaching for the bottle, which was still situated between your legs. His fingertips just graze the side of your thigh and his eyes flit to yours. He holds his smile, waiting for you to either protest or move the moment forward, and all you can do is gawk, because your cunt starts throbbing.Â
As the evening wears on, though cautious, itâs obvious that Remy feels the same pull that you do. He remains cool on the outside, but internally, he was battling the magnetic tugging he felt from you. He couldn't shake it. Heâd compliment you, youâd compliment him. At one point, in between sips, you casually drop that you think his accent is hot and he whispers something underneath his breath, something you donât understand. Before either of you realized it, you had started to lean closer to each other, your faces inches apart, and you felt the warm rush of his breath over your cheeks.
It was as if you both realized it simultaneously. You rear back, an embarrassed expression plastered on your face. Remy clears his throat. His attraction to you was stifling; something that he rarely felt. He was powerless in his want for you, the draw you had was irresistible.
"Maybe we should... uh..." You murmur, looking deep into his eyes. In a room full of people that were starting to fade away the closer you two got to each other, you were thankful you were still sober enough to suggest a different setting. Any longer and you surely wouldâve just straddled him and gone to town.Â
Remy moves first.Â
"We gon' take a walk." He announces to the others, getting to his feet.Â
The conversation stops abruptly, silence hanging heavy. You straighten up, trying your best to avert your gaze, but you still see everyoneâs reaction. Someone clears their throat and your heart sinks, feeling like you might die on the spot. The one that had been introduced as Logan, gruff looking dude, raises a single brow at you. In true Wade-character, he ugly cackles, shattering the moment. Your shoulders sink, embarrassed, as you head towards the door, doing the proverbial walk of shame.Â
Remy meets you at the door and pulls it open, holding it for you. You duck underneath his arm, looking sheepish and as you exit into the hallway, you think you heard Wade mutter something about a fanfiction but Remy yanks the door shut before you can react.Â
âYou want to⊠get some air? Or um⊠I have⊠well, no I had liquor, but I brought it to Wadeâs.âÂ
He smiles, and looks down at the floor, before lifting his eyes back to you. âWe can do whatever you want, chĂšre. You ainât gonâ catch me complaininâ eithaâ way.â
You chew on the inside of your cheek, considering the options. Your heart was hammering in your chest at the prospect of just being near him without the others around. You two had been close to kissing in Wadeâs living room, and now, you had the opportunity to continue that⊠or take a walk. The latter seemed less appealing.Â
âYâknow what, why donât we⊠justâŠâ You take a few steps backwards, jerking your head towards your front door. Concerningly, you had forgotten to lock your door. However, it allows you to open it quickly, and walk backwards into the apartment. Gambit follows you in, his attention never leaving you.Â
"You sure 'bout dis, mon ami? I can walk away righ' now." His words land heavy, a promise behind them. He was a gentleman at heart, you could tell. Fortunately for him, you were very sure, and wanted every inch of him.
Mon ami - something that in the few hours you'd spent with him, he'd called you often. Among other things. Mon ami meant my friend, but you knew you two weren't just friends. You saw how he acted with others, and the comments he made. Sure, he had a quick wit and a mouth on him, but the flirting... god, the flirting.
He stands in the doorway, his shoulders filling the frame. Silently, you nod and take another step back, giving him some room to enter. He takes one wide step towards you, leaving the door open behind him. He reaches for your hip, and you immediately take to playing with his large hands. Delicately, you pay attention to each long digit, trailing your middle finger along the knuckles, and up and down the length of them. You dip into the spaces between, your fingers barely ghosting over the webbing.Â
Was that a shiver? Your eyes flit to his, searching them for a hint.
"You sure do know how to make a man feel good."Â
Your heart flutters at his words. With his accent, even the simplest of things sounded charming. At least to you. You felt that he could ask if you wanted coffee or how the weather was and you'd be twirling your hair around your finger like a desperate schoolgirl. Embarrassing.Â
Youâre about to respond and defend yourself by saying that all you had done was play with his hands, which was hardly considered foreplay, but his fingers come up underneath your chin, gently closing your mouth with a dull click of your teeth. He tilts it upwards to an angle where he could easily kiss you. And kiss you, he does.Â
It was the kind of kiss that makes your knees buckle, sends a violent shudder from the nape of your neck down to the base of your spine. Itâs the kind of kiss that needs to come with a warning; Danger: Will Result In Sex. As his lips move against yours, you feel the urgency of his need, of his want, and hum into his lips. Remy takes that as a green light and deepens the kiss, moving his body so that itâs pressing flush against yours. The action leaves you immediately breathless and in response, you break the kiss, tucking your chin to your chest. Your hand finds his torso, pressing hard against the muscles underneath the shirt. Â
"Ah, don't you be actin' shy now. You been teasin' me for hours."
âI have not!â
âYou think I didnât notice all âdem touches anâ looks you were givinâ me? I may âave been born at night, but I wasnât born last night.âÂ
He had you there. You couldnât deny that, at all. Even if youâd wanted to. Which, part of you did. Part of you was very nervous, standing before this very handsome man, with the taste of his mouth still lingering on your lips but another part of you, the louder one, was delighted that heâd noticed. Furthermore, that heâd enjoyed them enough to come to your room.
You lift your hand behind him, pushing the door shut with a harsh shove. With a twist of your fingers, you activate the locking mechanism, sliding the deadbolt into place. Gambit chuckles, grinning down at you. Your heart leaps into your throat, but you press on bravely, lacing your arms around his neck. They trail down the front of his body, feeling the muscles as they twitch with each ragged breath.Â
He quirks a brow as if to ask, 'Oh, really?' You simply smirk back at him. The contact is electric, and you find yourself resisting the urge to grind against him immediately. Instead, you focus on his hands again, bringing one of them up to your lips. You press a delicate kiss on the pads, before slipping one into your mouth and sucking gently. Remy makes a deep, husky sound in his throat, and brings his other hand to your hip, where he pulls you roughly against him.
For a man that uses his hands often, the sensations are high. The way your mouth envelops his finger, your tongue writhing around the digit had his jaw clenching, muscles fluttering on the side of his face. When you draw his finger into the confines of your throat, deep-throating it, his eyes roll back in pleasure. He pulls his hand back, shaking it off as if the inside of your mouth was hot to the touch.
"Woo, you nasty, huh? Nevahâ woulda' guessed... you been actin' like a good little girl 'uhround me."Â
After that, it all happened very quickly. Gambit takes a step and connects his lips with yours again, pushing them into you in an act of desperation. Without breaking the kiss, he shrugs out of his jacket, tossing it onto a nearby surface. You push against him until his back hits the door with a heavy thud, definitely loud enough for any innocent bystanders to hear. Your fingers undo the button of your jeans, breaking the kiss for only a second to slide them down your legs.Â
Once you return to his waiting mouth, the kiss deepens and the coil in your stomach winds tighter, claiming your body in a deep, fiery arousal. His big arms wrap around you, enveloping you in a heated embrace. Just for a moment, itâs tender â but shortly after, his hands drop to your ass, fingers slipping underneath the band of fabric to take greedy fistfuls of each cheek.Â
Your hands find their way to his shoulders, gripping the roundness of them to use as leverage. Letting out a little hum, you sweep your hips across his groin, pressing tightly against him. His eyes drift shut, head bumping against the door as he leaned it back, a low growl coming from his throat. Keeping at it, you grind your hips against him, feeling the outline of his length as it hardens.
âYou be drivinâ Remy crazy, grindinâ on me like âdat.â
âThatâs the intentionâŠ.â You stand on your tiptoes to pepper kisses on his lips, your warm breath fanning over his face, smelling faintly of Jack Daniels. Remy trails his hand carefully up your rib cage until he gets to the side of your breast, where he quickly slips around to the front, his large hand cupping the fullness of it outside of your shirt. Your reaction is visceral; your breath hisses through your teeth at the sensitivity.Â
Remy laughs again and with his free hand, pulls your hips back to his. Swiftly, he spins you around, pinning you between his body and the hard surface of the door. He presses himself tightly against you, shifting slightly so that his thigh was between your legs. The sensation of something that close to your core is dangerous and brings a weak, mewling whimper from your mouth.
âWe gonâ have ourselves some fun.â His voice is low, tinged with a new sort of lustful tone that you hadn't heard before. Your mind is spinning, growing dizzy with lust. The alcohol had certainly helped your nerves, you were never usually this brazen. Your core burns with desire at his words, silently begging for everything he was about to give you. His lips hover just over yours; you can feel his breath on your skin and the heat that radiates off his body as it presses into yours.
"Oh my god," you whisper into his mouth. "Fuck..."
His teeth nip at your bottom lip before he captures your mouth in a heated, passionate kiss again. His tongue explores the inside, swirling along your own wet muscle. With every passing second, your heart beats faster and his hands grip your hips tighter, thumbs massaging the flesh above your jeans.
âWrap âdem legs around me, mon coeur.â (My heart) Remyâs voice is husky with want; amongst his playful, lilted tone, a possessiveness lingered, and the thought sends a chill down your spine. He nods once, encouraging you into his waiting arms. You jump up, and he catches you effortlessly, gripping your thighs tight and hoisting you up into his grasp. Feeling secure, you wrap both legs around his waist and encircle his neck with your arms. Your gaze meets his and you can see the wanton need mirrored in his own eyes, darkened with desire.
Remy's smirk is dripping with confidence. Your body's response to him was causing his ego to swell within his chest, and his cock to swell within his pants. He leans in close, his lips against your ear, nipping at the lobe softly before pulling back slightly. In one fluid movement, his hips buck up against your center, teasing you over the layers of clothing. You let out a moan, throwing your head back against the door.
He thrusts up into you again, chuckling low against your ear. The hard line of his cock grinds against you, making you stutter out expletives as it presses against you with a needy demand.Â
"You like 'dat, cher? Talk t' me..."
You nod, swallowing and wetting your throat. "Y-yeah, fuck... I do... need you â it â so bad."
âWhaddyaâ need?â
âN-need you⊠so bad.âÂ
âYou can do bettaâ. Tell Remy what you need...âÂ
He presses you harder against the door, your back sliding against the wood as he kisses a trail down from your mouth to your shoulder, sucking and biting with all the right intensities. As his hips grind against yours, you feel the damp fabric slide across your cunt, alerting you to just how wet heâd made you. Fuck.Â
âNeed⊠need you to fuck me. Hard. Need to feel you everywhere.â Â
A few hours ago, youâd agreed to Taco Tuesday at Wadeâs. Now, you were getting dry humped by a really hot Cajun guy and moaning into the curve between his neck and his shoulder. You were positive that if someone opened their door, theyâd hear you. Somewhere in your brain, the thought should have been moderately embarrassing, but you were far too invested in Remy to care.Â
Without warning, Gambit lifts you away from the door and carries you to the nearby couch. He never breaks the kiss, still feverishly claiming your mouth as he moves. Your back hits the cushions and before you can process it, his body weight is on top of you. He slots himself in between your legs, and his hard-on bumps into your stomach as his hips rut against you, finding some relief in the friction. But not enough.Â
Remyâs hand finds the hem of your shirt, lifting it just enough to allow his fingers underneath the fabric. You bite down on the pillow of your bottom lip and push your hips up into his. Thick, strong digits sweep across your skin, leaving a burning trail of fire in their wake. Every touch brings your temperature up, and it isnât long before your entire body is consumed in flames. You sigh contentedly, arching up into his touch.Â
Abruptly, Remy straightens up, crosses his arms over his torso and pulls his shirt over his head, revealing his tan skin and bulky muscles. His stocky stature makes your tummy clench with anticipation. He was fit, as you assumed, but that didnât stop your jaw from falling open at the sight.Â
âWow,â you finally choke.
Remy grins. âYou like what you see?âÂ
You nod furiously, hands snapping to his toned abdomen. Heâs warm and his skin is soft, begging to be touched. The muscles flex underneath your fingers as you trace a long stripe from his belly button to his collarbone. Your hands claw at his shoulder, attempting to pull him back down on you, but he resists.Â
He spoke with a playfulness, almost a sort of pleading. His thumbs flicks at the hem of your shirt. âAh, câmon, âdat ainât fair. EnlĂšve-tout toi, huh?â (Take it all off.)
You thought you understood, but if you didnât, it didnât matter. Remy was quick to translate his words, busy undressing you, pulling your worn t-shirt over your head, and reaching around your back to unclasp your bra. Most men wouldâve fumbled with the clasp, but not him. His adept fingers make quick work of it, allowing your breasts to fall free. He throws your bra somewhere behind him.Â
âHooo, cherâŠ!â His eyes light up at the visual and you feel heat blooming on your cheeks again, half expecting him to make a lewd comment. Instead, his hands cup your tits, kneading the soft plumpness like dough, thumbs grazing the nipples. He exhales through his mouth, jerking his head to the side.Â
Finally, he kisses you again. Itâs wet and sloppy and his mouth is consuming you, tasting you hungrily. His hips are still moving, sweeping into yours with a calculated precision. You try to spread your legs but the back of the couch thwarts your attempt. He notices this, watching as you struggle with the space.Â
âYou got a bed?â He asked in between smearing kisses along your neck and collarbone.Â
âYeah-yeahâŠ. Down the hall.âÂ
âRemy be needinâ more room for what he wannaâ do tâyou.â
His weight is suddenly gone from you, an unwelcome sensation, even though you know heâs about to carry you wedding-style down the hallway. He bends down, one arm sliding underneath your neck, the other in the crook behind your knees. For the second time that night, he lifts you into his arms.
You rest your cheek against his warm pectoral muscle, rocking back and forth, as he walks you both down the dark hallway. The only light in the room comes from the window, the city outside alive and humming. Carefully, Remy sets you down on the bed, unmade from this morning, your dark gray sheets cool to the touch.Â
In nothing but your underwear, which at this point, are damp to the touch, youâre left feeling very exposed. But you canât muster up any shame, not when heâs looking at you with such hunger, such want. Your tummy feels tight, and the feeling gets worse when Remyâs hands drop to his waist, unzipping and unbuttoning his pants. They fall loose at the waist, and he shucks them down the rest of the way, leaving him in nothing but a pair of deep purple boxers. Your eyes swing heavy to the outline thatâs now presented to you.Â
Oh my god.Â
Your breath hitches in your throat. It shouldnât have come as a surprise; Remy was a big guy, and that proved true downstairs, too. You can barely pull your eyes away from it, but you begrudgingly rip them away, to look up into his gaze.Â
âPlease,â you beg. âYouâre too far awayâŠâ Your cunt is aching and nothing but him, his hands, his dick, will sate her.Â
He leans forward, flattening both hands on the mattress and walks them back until his face is in front of yours. He sweeps you into another kiss and your heart races. His hands are perfectly positioned on either side of your hips, you feel them graze the flesh. His finger hooks around the elastic of your panties, twisting it around his pointer finger and gradually, he tugs them down over the curve of your hip.
You nod lazily against his mouth, as you feel the warmth of his hand near your core. Your legs drop apart, knees touching the mattress as you allow him access. One hand sweeps across your inner thighs, stroking them, while the other palms your soft mound. His other hand comes to pause at your knee, and pushes his weight into it softly, forcing you to stay spread-eagle for him. No way you couldâve done this on the sofa.Â
Thereâs no hesitation in the way he fingers you; sweeping up through your slick folds, smearing your arousal around until sheâs coated in it, splaying your pretty, wet cunt apart with his fingers, looking upon it hungrily. He knows what heâs doing, and how to do it right. You briefly wonder if thatâs another mutant power he has⊠though being an expert at fingering someone seems outlandish. But heâs just so good at it. His middle finger barely touches you, circling the bundle of nerves delicately. Your back arches up towards him, a desperate groan vibrating your vocal chords. Delighted by your reaction, his finger flicks upwards at your swollen, sensitive clit, making your body literally quiver.Â
âUhugh â godâŠ. Shit, oh my god.âÂ
He continues like this for several minutes, until your cunt is blazing hot and clenching with every moan you give.Â
By the time he presses one finger inside, youâre teetering on the edge of an orgasm and your voice fills the room with needy, desperate sounds. You let out a shrill whine, and he slips in another finger, feeling the stretch of muscle as he does. His heart is pounding in his chest, overcome with lust. The way you sound, the way your body is moving and writhing on the bed, he canât wait to sink himself into you.Â
Amidst a laugh, he says: âPeople gonâ think we up in here watchinâ porn.â
Did he just insinuate that you sounded like a pornstar? You lifted your head, wearily, to look at him. Your chest heaves with each breath as you try to formulate a snarky remark to no avail. He looked so good â well, always â but he looked particularly good on top of you, his bright eyes lust blown and hungry.Â
âWeâre⊠weâre⊠porn⊠itâsâŠÂ oh god.âÂ
He shushes you. âYou just lay back and keep moaninâ.âÂ
Defeated, you huff and your head hits the sheets again, but not before you catch a glimpse of the way the muscles in his forearm ripple as it pumps back and forth into your cunt. You canât help but moan at the sight, feeling a shockwave rupture your core. Your hips meet his fingers, rutting and writhing against the mattress in a needy rhythm.
Your first orgasm claims your body before you can stop it. Youâre clenching around his fingers as they move, crooking upwards into your sensitive spots. Your slick coats his fingers and when Gambit pulls his hand back, thick, clear strands string from between them. He smiles down at you.Â
Remy raises himself to his knees. âTurn âroundâŠâÂ
You flip over and back yourself towards him, thinking that heâs going to go at it doggy-style, but to your surprise, he pulls you upright, pressing your back against his chest. His dick is hot between your legs, and when he reaches down to line it up, you let your head loll back against his shoulder. Gambitâs mouth finds the side of your neck, streaking it with wet, suckling kisses. He was taking his time with you, savouring you and you hum happily through closed lips, reaching behind you to thread your fingers through his hair.
âFuck, you feel so goodâŠâ Instinctively, your hips undulate and his cock slips between your folds. Remyâs hips buck once, letting out a groan that comes from somewhere deep.Â
âYou ready, cher?â He asks, sweeping your hair away from your neck. You nod furiously. Youâve been ready â you were ready the moment you laid eyes on him.
Remy reaches down to sweep his fingers along your entrance briefly, before gripping himself and guiding the head of his cock into the slit. You keen at the feeling of his velvet-soft head pressing into your entrance, warm pre-cum leaking from the slit. He murmurs words of encouragement into your ear as you feel his hips press against your ass, urging his thick, veiny shaft inside your cunt. He does it gently, allowing you time to adjust to the girth, but the sting still makes you cry out. âFffuck!â
He begins to thrust his hips shallowly, your cunt stretching around his cock. The feeling is all-consuming, and your body feels heavy in his grasp. One hand is gripping your waist tightly, the other, fingers splayed out on your stomach just above your cunt. Thereâs a pressure building in your cunt, and each thrust magnifies it. The sting of his cock fades to an ache, then to a dull throbbing that makes you want more and you lean forward slightly and press your ass into the curves of his hips, meeting his thrusts.Â
âMm, âdatâs it, cherâŠâ His voice is hot on your skin.Â
His thrusts get deeper, but thereâs a lingering tension in his body that makes you feel like heâs not getting what he wants. Youâre right; all at once, Remy pulls his cock from you and switches positions.Â
Youâre suddenly on your back, looking up at him as he looms over you, all muscle. His cockhead nudges your entrance again, but doesnât penetrate.Â
âSay my name, cher⊠I needaâ hear it leave âdat pretty mouth.âÂ
âWhich one? Gambit? Or Remy?â You ask, breathlessly.
The way his eyes rolled back at the second option told you everything you needed to know. A smirk twisted your lips cruelly and you lifted your body slightly, just enough for your mouth to reach his ear. You moan his name over and over again, knowing full well the effect itâs having on the mutant man.
âRemy, Remy, RemyâŠ.â Your tone is high-pitched and whiny, but he seems to enjoy the lewdness of it all. He bucks his hips hard into you, and the fullness reaches an all-time high as he bottoms out, his pelvis hitting yours with a slap.
âHuhhhâ!â You gasp, breathing ragged. âFuck!â
âGonnaâ make you cum so hard you ainât gonâ walk right for days.â His voice is low and filthy and leaves a stain on your mind. Your cunt clenches around him possessively, pulling him somehow deeper inside of you.Â
As your head bangs into your headboard, the tip of his cock bumps your cervix over and over again, and your jaw goes slack, literally fucked silent. Remy hears the thudding of your skull and puts a hand between it and the wood, but he doesnât stop his relentless, deep thrusting.Â
The pleasure reaches a peak and your nails dig into his back, leaving crescent moon shaped indentations on his golden skin. Remyâs groaning loud into your ear as he cums, muttering in an almost incoherent melange of French and English. His accent is somehow heavier, and you can barely make out the words as heâs saying them into your skin. It doesnât matter though, because you feel how full you are, and Remyâs hot, white completion is leaking out the sides and staining your sheets.Â
He stays like that for a moment, hovering on top of you. His cock softens inside, completely spent and eventually, he slips it out, rolling over onto your bed.
âAh, joi de vivre, huh.â (the joy of life), he says drowsily.
You laugh, and nestle underneath his arm, in the space heâs left for you.Â
If you had your way, youâd do it all over again.Â
Though he doesnât say it, so would he.Â

No Words *àłàŒ
Summary: max defends his girlfriend and gets into trouble
đ€ mv x reader âïœĄÂ°â©
đ€ fluff + slight humour (iykyk) âïœĄÂ°â©
masterlist âŸâŒ
y/n had been a fan of formula one since she was a child. every parental figure in her life had been a fan of the sport, so it was natural and she got into it too. thankfully, it also made her realise very quickly in life that she wanted to work in the field of motorsports. she wasn't sure yet, and she was still working her way to getting into the sport, but it was a sure, clear path for her.
after meeting max, and falling in love with him, everything had changed. her family approved of the two of them, obviously, and so had his, though she hadn't cared much about jos' opinion. y/n made it clear in the beginning that she wanted to work in motorsports and she wanted to earn her place. she refused to let max talk her up or anything, because he was the kind of guy who would do just that for his girlfriend. max agreed, and promised to keep their relationship private for as long as she wanted.
it had taken her a few years. she bounced from indycar to motorgp to nascar and eventually made her way to f1 as a journalist. she had gained far more experience than she would've gotten if she had only focused on formula one, and she was confident in her abilities to finally be formula one.
max and her had stayed strong throughout, even if they kept their relationship private. she had met and become friends with daniel, lando, carlos, and all of max's friends. they often played padel together as well. mix the competitive spirits that max and she possessed, it was always fun.
after a year of being in formula one as a journalist, max and y/n had decided that it was time to stop hiding. they skipped the soft launch part, and jumped directly into the hard launch phase that left a lot of fans shook.
unfortunately, it also got her a lot of hate. y/n went from being one of the best journalists in f1 to one of the most hated ones for the same reasons that she was loved. the fans adored her because she was a woman of colour making a name for herself in such a sport, and that her parents had sacrificed a lot for her and she was making them proud. now, she was hated because her success became max's story and how he put in good words for her and how she was only with him for the money.
it broke her heart, but max was someone who had received a lot of hate before in his life, so he taught her all the ways to ignore the comments and focus on what she did best. it helped a great deal, but it also made her determined to prove that her career had nothing to do with max.
it was getting better, slowly and over time. max and y/n promised to never lose their temper on the comments. a lot of interviewers and fans had also asked the other drivers on the grid to comment on their relationship, asking if it was ethical for a journalist and a driver to date. but the other drivers always responded with the same thing, always saying how they've known max and y/n for a long time, and their relationship was no one else's business.
unfortunately, after a particularly hard race, max finally lost his cool.
"well, max, it's safe to say that this particular race of yours wasn't the best that you've performed. what do you have to say about that?"
"uh, nothing, really. we just didn't have the pace, and with some mistakes on my side, i lost a lot of points. but, i'm sure we can cover it up next race." max replied.
"you don't have to worry about us writing a bad article about you. your girlfriend and we will only be writing praises, don't you worry. the only difference would be that we won't take your hard earned money like she does," the interviewer laughed, nudging y/n.
the cameras were all focused on them, there were fans nearby, and other drivers. everyone was watching. it was live tv. the entire world was watching. the thick crowd of an audience had their gaze fixed on y/n, and all she could do in that moment was hang her head and try not to cry.
that's the moment max lost his cool. y/n was standing right there, and the interviewer had disrespected her on a very public platform.
"actually, my girlfriend will always tell me what i need to hear, whether it's good or bad. y/n y/l/n, a well known journalist, who is also standing right there with you, will write exactly what happened on track, because that's the part that she reports on. she made her own career, so fuck you for dismissing all of it." max bursted, before he stormed off.
the interviewer was spluttering, not sure how to react, but completely outraged as he forced the fia to take actions on max's outburst. y/n slipped away silently, needing to go back to max.
later on, the fia decided to punish max for using "language during the fia sunday press conference". their decision: obligation to accomplish some work of public interest.
later, an interviewer asked him if he regretted his decision of defending his girlfriend and getting a punishment, max responded, âno.â
âso, what do you think of the punishment given to you? do you think itâs fair?â
âno words.â
.âïœĄââËïœĄâïœĄËâœËïœĄâ.
i hope you guys enjoyed this! i had a lot of fun writing this, mostly because i had no idea what my brain wanted me to write, but somehow i kept on typing. anyways, this is my prompt list, so y'all can select a number, give me a driver and i will write it as soon as possible! i also have a google form for a taglist if anyone's interested! you can sent in your requests here :)

More than a pretty face II Alessia Russo x Williamson!Reader
romantic masterlist | platonic masterlist | word count: 1630
summary: Leah is the third wheel whenever sheâs with your girlfriend Alessia and you. While the striker struggles with her body image.
author's note: hi everyone, we combined the request with an idea we had in the back of our mind and we hope you'll like the mix of lightheartedness and heavier topics. đ€â€ïž
Post-training dinners were one of your favourite team traditions. Every few weeks, after a long, hard session, the entire Arsenal squad would go out for a meal. You loved the combination of good food and conversations with your friends. It was something that you were looking forward to every time.
Too preoccupied with arguing with your sister, you completely forgot about the pasta before you. At least until you heard Kyra giggle on the other side of the table.
âLessi, are you kidding?â, she laughed.
You watched Alessia frown at her: âWhy?â
âThereâs only green on your plate.â, Kyra grimaced in disgust, pointing at your girlfriendâs salad.
âYeah, I wanted a salad.â
You studied her plate from across the table. No toppings, no dressing, just plain salad.
Leah involved herself in their conversation: âNothing wrong with that. Kyra, you could need some greens too.â
Kyra wrinkled her nose again: âEw.â
Alessia shrugged, smiling: âSheâs not wrong.â
It was a polite smile that didnât reach her eyes.
âYes, she is. Thatâs not what you need after a long training session.â, Kyra complained jokingly.
You bit your lip and watched as your girlfriend discussed different food choices with your teammates.
With nervous fingers, you tapped Beths arm and whispered: âBeth?â
The midfielder turned to you: âHm?â
âI feel like Lessi⊠I think the comments about her appearance got to her.â, you carefully formulated the worry that had begun to appear in your chest. Suddenly, your stomach was in knots, you werenât hungry anymore.
âYou think so?â, Beth asked in surprise.
âI do⊠Look.â
She followed your gaze towards Alessia.
âThe salad?â
You nodded cautiously: âYes. Do you think Iâm paranoid?â
Alessia had struggled before with her body image, you knew that. So, every sign of changes in her eating pattern sent a subtle wave of panic through your body.
Beth sighed: âI think if you really want to know, you should talk to her.â
You forced a smile: âUgh, why are you always right?â
âSorry.â
âAlways, right? What did you two chat about?â, Leah asked innocently.
Beth shrugged and deliberately lied to your sister: âFootball stuff.â
âYes, things you wouldnât understand, Lee.â, you joked, teasing her.
Leah rolled her eyes at you as she so often did: âOh yeah, because I obviously donât play football.â
âYou do but no that up front.â, you explained.
âStill.â
âWill you drive with us to this team activity thing next week?â
âNah, I donât want to be the third wheel again between you two lovers.â, Leah quickly shook her head.
Beth snorted: âYou donât mind that any other time either.â
 âAnd it's not our fault that your girlfriend is Americanâ, you added in a teasing tone, which earned you a playful slap from your sister.
Her lips formed to a pout:â Doesnât take away from the fact that I donât want to hang out with you two. Iâm driving with Lia and Kim.â
âOh, wow.â, you whistled, pretended to be offended by her decision.
This didnât stop the defender from mockingly continuing: âBesides, youâre a horrible driver.â
âThanks, Lee.â, you rolled your eyes at her.
It was the night of your team activity, usually it involved dinner and games, and you were leaning against the open door of your bedroom to check on your girlfriend:â Youâre ready, Lessi? We should be leaving soon?â
âNo, I hate my outfit.â, she groaned in frustration, still laying on the bed.
When you noticed the dried tears on her cheeks, your heart broke a little. In the late afternoon light, the blonde looked gorgeous, and you wished she could see herself as you saw her, the striker was even sadly breathtaking.
You gently took Alessia's hands, in which she had hidden her face: âLess, you look beautiful.â
âI donât.â, the forward replied with a trembling voice.
âAlessia?â
âYes?â, your girlfriend glanced up at you.
Softly, you asked her:â Would you like to change into something more comfortable?â
âCan I wear your sweater?â, a small smile appeared on the blondeâs lips.
In one quick swipe you pulled off your oversized pullover to hand it to her: âYou.. yes, you can have it.â
Alessia pressed the garment gratefully to her chest and explained:â Itâs just the comfiest thing.â
In a sincere tone, you whispered into her ear: âYou also look very cute in it.â
For a second, she beamed at your words before her grin disappeared as quickly as it had come, leaving only a gloomy expression on her face. âDo you think the comments are wrong or right?â, the striker questioned.
âI knew it was about the comments.â, you mumbled.
 âAnd oh god, maybe Iâm a bad role model if I sometimes donât feel confident in my own body.â, your girlfriend panicked.
Soothingly you began to stroke her back: âLessi, calm down.â
âSorry.â
You cupped her face tenderly in your hands, hoping that your sentences reached her:â Listen, itâs normal not to feel confident all the time. No one does. Youâre not doing anything wrong and youâre not a bad role model.â
âBut you and your sister look so perfect.â, Alessia protested weakly.
âThatâs not true, Less. Weâre not perfect, no one is.â
She smiled sheepishly: âAt least youâre perfect to me.â
Apparently, your words began to have an effect, because the striker added cheekily: âAside from the fact that you snore at night, it's not exactly Sleeping Beauty-like.â
âShut up!â, you playfully hit her arm with the pillow.
Alessia giggled. The sound was like music to your ears.
A little smirk appeared on her face: âMake me.â
You were only too willing to bridge the gap between the two of you and put your lips on hers until your girlfriend was too out of breath to keep talking.
But before you could make a move, Alessia interrupted herself after checking the time on her phone: âActually, wait for it until after team bonding.â
You heaved a frustrated sigh but still slipped into your jacket: âFine. Ready to go?â
âIâm ready.â
You both left your apartment but before you got into Alessias car, you took her hand and held her back: âLess?â
Alessia turned towards you: âHuh?â
âYouâre beautiful and youâre a great athlete, okay? It doesnât matter what other people think.â, you assured her one last time.
She nodded thoughtfully: âOkay.â
âOkay, now letâs go, pretty girl.â, you smiled at her.
You got into the passenger seat of her car while Alessia drove.
âI hope they got Pizza on the menu so we can share.â, your girlfriend said suddenly.
You laughed, surprised by her comment: âOh no. You always say that and then youâll complain that the pizza in Italy is better.â
âItâs true! Nothing beats Pizza in Italy.â
âSee?â, you rolled your eyes with a laugh.
âOkay, fine. I still want to share Pizza with you.â
âMe too.â, you grinned. Your heart skipped a beat, seeing how excited Alessia seemed to be.
You arrived at the location five minutes late and you would have gotten away with it if it wasnât for your sister.
âHi, you two are fashionably late.â, she greeted you with a wink.
You shrugged and lied to her: âMy fault. We had to make out in the car first.â
Leah grimaced: âDisgusting.â
âOh, someoneâs a gremlin again.â, Alessia teased.
Your sister pouted and turned to Lia: âWally, theyâre impossible.â
âYou love them.â, the Swiss player replied matter-of-factly.
âSadly, I do but donât tell them.â
âI would never. But Iâm sure they know, you love to hang out of them.â, Lia laughed.
âEven when I feel left out sometimes because look at them.â, Leah complained, pointing at where you and Alessia were studying the menu.
Lia grinned: âTheyâre a couple and youâre surprised about that?â
âElle and I are not that bad.â
You looked up and glared at your sister: âYes, you are.â
âShut up.â, Leah retorted.
You shook your head: âNo. The pizzas arrived, my friends.â
Alessias eyes lit up as a server placed the plate in front of her: âFinally.â
The good food, lively conversations with your teammates and your girlfriendâs genuine smile warmed your heart and soul.
Once the dinner was over Leah gave you a short hug:â Drive home safely.â
âYouâre not driving with us?â, you asked astonished.
The defender paused for a moment, pretending to think carefully about the question, before answering with a grin on her lips:â Actually, yes, Iâll come with you, but only if Alessia drives.â
Gallantly, Alessia opened the passenger doors and bowed slightly to you both:â Get inside my passenger princesses.â
âExcuse me. Iâm the passenger princess, she can sit in the backseat.â, you promptly protested.
âUgh, fine.â, Leah grimaced as the blonde sat down right behind you.
With a sweet smile, you turned your head towards your sister:â Sorry, big sis.â
âYouâre not really sorry.â, the older woman observed her arms crossed in front of her chest.
Your giggles filled the car:âNo.â
Amused, Alessia shook her head and turned up the volume on the radio. Once her car stopped in front of the defenderâs house, she said:â Good night, Leah.â
âNight, girls.â, the blonde waved goodbye and skipped buoyantly to her front door.
On the way to your home, your girlfriend began nervously.â Amore, I thought about what you said earlier.â
âAnd?â
âYou were right.â, Alessia conceded.
The car stopped at the red light, the rain pattering on the roof, as you hugged her from the side with relief and gave her a kiss on the cheek: âYouâre so much more than a pretty face, Lessi, please never forget that.â
âAnd so are you.â, she replied in an earnest tone, pressing her lips gently to your hand.
Then Alessia continued the drive through the night, the lights of London guiding you both to your home.

Eddie and Steve and their three daughters are sitting around the kitchen table one evening when four-year-old Hazel asks â
âNow that Iâm here, are you gonna get married soon?
Steve blinks.
The question isnât entirely out of left field â not for Hazel, anyway, whose preschool teacher got married a few weeks ago and came back with all kinds of pictures and stories. Apparently, Hazelâs been eating it all up, and sheâs their most romantical kid, so to speak, so thatâs not really a shock.
Thing is, Eddie and Steve are already married â have been for six years this past May, soâŠ
âUh, we are married, Hazy-Jay,â Eddie answers before Steve has a chance to say anything.
Hazelâs face falls, her mouth parting.
âHuh?â
Steve inwardly cringes.
âYou got married before?â Hazel asks, her chin quivering like sheâs only a few moments away from tears (and sheâs their most emotional kid too, so she probably is).
âPeople get married before they have kids, Hazel,â seven-year-old Robbie points out all matter-of-fact.
âWell,â Steve pauses, because, yeah, Robbie is mostly not wrong, but those pesky gay marriage laws had kept him and Eddie from getting married until Massachusetts finally legalized it in â04 (when Moe was three and Robbie six-ish months old and Hazel still two years away). Heâs pretty sure that level of nuance might be lost on their four-year-old though.
âNot Dad and Papa,â Moe cuts in, âMe and you were there, Robbie.â
âMoe,â Eddie mutters, âNot helping.â
âWhat?â Moe shrugs, âItâs true!â
Hazel looks positively devastated by this information.
âWhy didnât you wait for me?â
âWell, hon, we didnât know you were coming,â Steve tries, âWe didnât know any of you were coming!â
âThatâs not true,â Moe points out, âYou knew about Robbie.â
âMoe,â Eddie hisses.
Steve reaches behind him to snag a framed photo of him and Eddie and Steve and Moe and Robbie all smiling at the camera on the steps of Boston City Hall off the shelf it perches on.
âYou know this picture?â he asks as Hazel climbs into his lap. She nods, âThis is from the day Dad and I got married.â
âIt doesnât look like a wedding,â Hazel says skeptically, her nose all scrunched up.Â
ââCause it wasnât really a wedding,â Steve tells her, âWe got married at a courthouse in Boston â same courthouse where we adopted you and where we adopted Moe and where we adopted Robbie.â
âWhy did you adopted us?â
âWell, you know how sometimes we take emergency foster placements every once in a while and weâll have a new friend for a few days?â
Hazel nods.
âDad and I used to do that all the time,â he continues, âand thatâs how we met Moe, and so for two years it was just me and Daddy and Moe, and then we found out that you guyâs mom was gonna have another baby, and then we met Robbie.â
âAnd then me?â
âAnd then you,â Steve nods, âIt was me and Dad and Moe and Robbie for three years, and then one day we found out that your mom had another baby, and that was you.â
Hazel wordlessly mulls this over for a bit, and then she lets out a pensive little sigh.
âIf you wouldâa known about me before, would you wait?â
âTo get married? Of course we wouldâve waited.â
âAnd then maybe you wouldâa had a real wedding?â
âMaybe,â Steve affirms, even thoughâŠprobably not, because that shit is expensive and, seriously, nothing out there could have prepared Steve for the reality of their college savings goal doubling overnight.
âWhere is our mom now?â Hazel then asks.
Moe, helpful as always, cuts in with, âSheâs dead now.â
âMoe,â Eddie exclaims for the third time, âJee-eez, read the room please!â
#and then all hell breaks loose#itâs important to note that none of this is new information for hazel#sheâs emotional okay?#steddie#livâs steddie dads verse#steddie dads#steve harrington#eddie munson

I would love a fic about Reidâs friend coming to visit him at work and as soon as Hotch lays eyes on her itâs love at first sight. But sheâs like really girlie and bubbly so the rest of the team is so confused as to why Hotch is so whipped for her :)
âShe said that to you?â
âYeahâŠI mean the audacity of some people,â you said shaking your head. âIâve had enough of her. And I promise you, next time Iâm telling our manager.â As if to prove the harshness of your words you dropped on his desk a stapler you had been playing with to occupy your hands.
Spencer smiled, entertained as always from your stories involving your least favorite coworker.
âAnyway, enough with her. We can go now, right?â
âYeah, just let me get all my stuff.â
A deep voice coming from behind you right before you opened your mouth stopped you from complaining. âReid, that last report needs-
The fact that you turned around to search for the owner of that voice seemed to stop him from speaking any further.
You blinked softly at him melting under the manâs gaze. He was tall, handsome, and looked like he could easily kill you: just your type. Â
âHotch?â you heard your friendâs voice.
That was Hotch?
âYouâre Hotch?
âYeah,â he breathed out a laugh. âAnd you are?â
âY/N,â Spencer introduced you to him. âSorry, sheâs just picking me up.â
âThatâs alright,â Hotch replied to him while still looking into your eyes. âSo I take it youâve heard about me.â
âOnly the best,â you giggled.
âYes, Iâm sure Reid has never complained to you about paperwork or having to work on a weekend,â he rolled his eyes, not entirely convinced.
âI havenât!â Spencer defended himself.
Hotch laughed and a beautiful smile stuck on his face. No way this was the same man Spencer had talked to you about that ânever smiledâ and ânever blinkedâ.
âUmâŠyou wanted to tell me something about a report?â your friend awkwardly positioned himself next to you trying to get Hotchâs attention.
âRight,â he said. âItâsâŠitâs fine. It can wait until tomorrow.â
âOh, okay.â
--
âDo you see that?â Penelope whispered, grabbing Emily with one hand and JJ with the other.
âWhat is it?â
âLook,â she said pointing at you from afar.
âWhoâs that?â Emily asked.
âAnd why is Hotch looking at her like heâs about to eat her?â JJ added.
âItâs Y/N, Reidâs best friend.â
âOhâŠwell good thing sheâs not his girlfriend âcauseâŠâ
âRight?â Garcia said. âOh my God, do you guys think theyâre gonna fall in love? It would be so cuteâŠthey will start going on dates and weâre gonna get the weekends off!â
JJ tilted her head observing the pair of you. âYou wouldnât think thatâs his type. She looks soâŠsunshine-y.â
âWell, I think thatâs exactly what Hotch needs,â Emily said. âSome sunshine.â
--
âWhy didnât you tell me he was hot?â you asked when you were finally out of everyoneâs sight.
âWho?â
âHotch!â
âEwâŠheâs like my dad!â
âTo you!â you said opening your car door. âHow am I supposed to drive now? My hands are shaking.â
âBecauseâŠof my boss?â Spencer asked, sounding confused.
You got into your seat and started giggling, covering your mouth with your hands. âFuck,â you sighed moving your hands to cup your own cheeks feeling their heat. âThis has never happened to me before. I think I just fell in love.â
Spencer gave you a side eye. âWeâre still talking about Hotch, right?â
You bit your bottom lip and pulled a little card out of your pocket. âHe gave me his number.â
âWhen did this even happen?â
âWhen you were putting your stuff in your bag.â
âSo he likes you too?â
âI guess,â you smiled.
For a few moments the two of you stared at each other before bursting out in laughter.
âAnd I always thought Derek would be the one going after you.â
You let out a heavy sigh like a lovesick schoolgirl. âHeâs really handsome, Spence.â
âHeâs a good man too,â he said.
âSo you approve?â
âI would never stand in the way between you and my father figure.â
âShut up,â you laughed and started your car.

uhhh even more percy jackson headcanons
- thereâs always music playing in the apollo cabin. they have communal playlists, but there are times when one person gets to play dj, especially when itâs relatively empty
- everyone has to emotionally prepare for audial whiplash whenever kayla gets to play music because she puts every song she has ever liked in her entire life onto one playlist, so it can go from twenty one pilots to ethel cain to beabadoobee to fifth harmony in just fifteen minutes
- will is usually pretty lenient with who gets to play what and when (he has a few clean playlists for when there are little kids present), but on days when the infirmary is packed and heâs visibly on the verge of collapse, no one dares change it from whatever kasey musgraves song he just put on
- austin exclusively plays obscure 20+ minute-long jazz songs. austin no longer has access to the cabin 7 spotify account
- there are bi-monthly meetings with all the counselors and chiron and dionysus to discuss any problems, questions, quests, deaths, fights, complaints, and other issues
- chiron ended up helping train and appointing a few other apollo kids to take up shifts in the infirmary when will accidentally fell asleep in the middle of one of said meetings. will kept insisting it was fine and that he wasnât overworked, but eventually gave in when nico kept having to nudge him awake and chiron had to send him back to the apollo cabin early so he could take a nap
- frank cried so hard when he saw barbie that he had to leave the theater for a minute
- drew and will went to the sweat tour together
- drew actually kind of hates that charlie xcx is only really getting properly noticed now because of brat, because sheâs a huge charlie fan and has been here since âboom clapâ
- ever since blood of olympus, percy is genuinely terrified of getting a nosebleed. the first time it happens is when heâs sick at college and annabeth has to coach him through a panic attack
- nico isnât actually that invested in star wars, star trek, or any other sci-fi franchise that will obsesses over, but sits through it anyways for his boyfriendâs sake
- piper and shel dressed up as different versions of chappell roan for halloween. piper was lady liberty chappell and shel was âgood luck, babeâ bird chappell
- every chance they get, piper and leo meet up, get jack in the box, smoke weed, and catch up in whatever car piper stole from her dad, because it helps them both feel normal
- piper and will smoke together whenever she visits camp, usually while having a shit talk session
- sally, paul, and estelle visited percy and annabeth for family and friends weekend while theyâre at school, of course, but tyson, ella, hazel, and frank, piper and leo, and nico, will, reyna, and thalia (and, by nature, the rest of the hunters) all made time to stop by at various points during family and friends
- once he realized he could occasionally get away with sneaking out of olympus in the middle of the night, ganymede developed a habit of taking a walk down the beach at camp. he ran into dionysus one night and fully expected to have to fetch some fancy wine for him, or at least go back to get his chalice, unaware of his sobriety punishment, but did a total 180 when dionysus ended up being kind to him. instead, the two of them walked and talked about how much they both hate zeus, and it ended up becoming a therapy session for ganymede (think aimeeâs first session in sex education)
- sally got annabeth one of those self defense keychains before she left for school
- apollo brings meg to camp every time he goes to visit his kids. on one visit, he took her, will, kayla, austin, and nico to build-a-bear. it was meg and nicoâs first time going. nico was in total awe and meg cried and hugged apollo for a minute straight
- hazel prefers cartoons and animation over live-action movies and shows
- percy is really good at watercolor. rachel tries to teach him to paint and thinks heâs a prodigy until they move onto acrylics and she realizes he was just manipulating the water
- annabeth and sally both love watching the princess bride together. percy tries to watch it three separate times for their sake, like nico does with willâs sci-fi stuff, but ends up drooling on annabethâs shoulder by the end of the movie each time
- percy desperately wanted a water bed for years when he was younger, but neither chiron nor sally would trust him with one. he eventually begged paul to get him one as a graduation present, and he put it in his cabin at camp. it lasted less than 24 hours before he popped it and woke up in the middle of the night on top of the deflated mattress, he himself completely dry but his floor absolutely soaked. dionysus made an announcement at breakfast the next morning that any mattress filled with anything except air was prohibited, and anyone else who flooded their cabin would get stable duties for a whole week
- will doesnât like to use his plague powers very much after tsats, but he does like to give anyone who pisses him off mild-but-annoying congestion or a lingering headache
- nico and will like to do this thing to mess with people, where nico cracks willâs back or will cracks his knuckles and he lights up, usually in front of people who donât actually know how willâs powers work
- austin is the exception to this rule; they do it in front of him because he hates the sound of people cracking their bones
- there was a point where everyone knew that will could glow except percy. he found out the hard way when he, annabeth, nico, and will were hanging out in the jackson-blofis apartment and the power went out, and nico cracked willâs spine and will started glowing. percy was so freaked out that he screamed and woke up the rest of the house
- sometimes frank eats fistfuls of shredded cheese, for the thrill
- very rarely, rachel talks in her sleep and says indiscernible bits of prophecies, both new and old. she has no idea she does it
- apollo hates leonard cohen

part two. a/n | hiii! new blog but not new to wbb or writing, iâm infact true to this! masterlist & blog introduction soon but i thought iâd get a fic out first (this is lowkey long but bare with me).
summary: in which the pleasure elicits a confession.
warning(s): smut with plot! fingering, fear of being caught, praising, pet names, scissoring, some angst at the end, angst at the end, idk paige is absolutely obsessed with you..
pairing: paige bueckers x fem reader
You hadnât particularly expected yourself to get sexually involved with the star athlete of UConn, but it kinda just happened.
Youâd met Paige Bueckers through Azzi Fudd during yours and hers junior year. Hitting it off with her and the team was no problem. You got along with everyone and it was one of the many qualities that could be admired, but Paige found a sense of comfort with you.
During the start of her recovery, she found it hard to go back to going out like she used to. But the one night sheâd decided to make an appearance for the first time since tearing her ACL, she met you and it changed everything. You had morals that changed her perspective, a bright smile that lured her in, and confidence that wasnât too cocky to be deemed unattractive. You were everything.
From hangouts with the group to study sessions and finally hanging out alone, you found yourselves entirely comfortable with one another. So much so that the team had gotten so used to seeing you together, that they asked where the other was when you were by yourself.
One night when Paige had decided to stay over at your dorm, youâd been wrapped up in a conversation about relationships and the complexity that came with them. You both had similar ideas just like you did on nearly everything. Paige not being able to really commit to anybody with her busy schedule, and you just simply not being into dating. It never went well for you. The last girl fucked up and if there was one thing you always got sick of, it was waiting for people to change.
An idea sparked your mind, and just like always, you spoke it. It was a suggestion that would possibly change your dynamic forever, but as Paige watched the words slip out of your mouth and your eyes dart between her lips and eyes; something you always did but it seemed different this time, she couldnât say no. It felt like a bad idea. She really liked you and wasnât sure where that would lead the two of you, but she wouldâve taken any part of you she could get her hands on.
Now, a little less than a year later, it was safe to say your dynamic had changed. Completely. Paige was at the highest point in her career, her popularity only expanding just everyday. Your casual sex continued, but the more intimate you got, the more Paige found it hard to deny the feelings she felt for you. She distanced herself. You didnât talk the way you used to and surely didnât hangout the way you used to, because those hangouts always turned into more.
You missed Paige. You had her but you didnât have her, and although you knew what your suggestion would bring, you still couldnât pinpoint why she couldnât open up to you anymore. Why she avoided conversing with you alone. It was an abrupt change from the comfortability sheâd showed when everything first started, exploring each other in ways past imagination because thatâs what the agreement was for. But everything changed so quickly, and Paige found more meaning in the words she whispered while reaching her high, more meaning in the flirty jokes, and more meaning in your lingering gazes. She over-analyzed everything, and it was fucking driving her crazy.
Nobody knew. You couldnât even fix your lips to tell Azzi how youâd been hooking up with her best friend. You were sure everyone had an idea though; paige could hide a lot of things physically but the glint in her eyes when she looked at you was undeniable, and although KK and a few others had pointed it out jokingly, you two brushed it off like it was nothing.
Currently, youâd been sitting at a table with some of the team members at the bar. It had been getting late despite you only being on your second drink and not feeling a bit of it, engrossed in a conversation with Aubrey about all kinds of things. Sometimes you wished you were a lightweight.
A few minutes later, Paige slid onto the stool next to you, but you didnât acknowledge her. You hadnât talked to her in a little bit over a week, and finally decided that if she wanted to play the distant game, you would too. She seemed a little tipsy to you, her continuous movements you caught in the corner of your eye proving so. You could admit she looked good when she first walked in. She mustâve worn braids to practice or something because her wavy locks had been flowing over her broad shoulders, a look she knew you fell weak to.
Your attention averted at the sound of Azziâs voice. âIâm heading out!â She announced loud enough for her friends to hear. They bid her with goodbyes as you began to gather your things, stopping at the feeling of Paigeâs hand creeping up on your thigh. She turned to you, a look on your face that you couldâve mistakened for a slight pout.
âI wanna take you home,â was as all she said, and your eyebrows furrowed for a moment. You understood her words, but found it hard to comprehend as her thumb began stroking the crease dangerously close to your center.
Regaining composure, you cleared your throat. ââS okay. I rode with Az, she can take me home,â You replied almost sharply. You didnât question her silence over the past week, not in the mood to cause a scene; just responded like everything was normal, yet one thing you could never hide was an attitude.
As you turned to get up, content with the few words exchanged, Paige twirled your stool back around to her with her opposite hand, stopping you. âI wanna take you home,â She stated again, her voice low but firm. You knew Azzi had been stalling as she waited for you, so as you locked eyes with Paigeâs piercing blue hues, you knew what you had to do. What felt right but so wrong.
Averting your gaze, you whipped your head to Azziâs direction, immediately catching her eye and jerking your head to the side slightly to indicate that Paige would be taking care of you (in more ways than one). She gave you a knowing look, causing you to roll your eyes and spin back around to Paige. She had her suspicions, but they werenât confirmed so it didnât matter.
As soon as you did so, Paige easily stepped down from the barstool, grabbing your hand so she could help you down, a bigger challenge for your height. âWeâre heading out too,â She stated simply, and the crew eyed your exchange, little chuckles escaping their lips. The entire group had their conspiracies about you two, simply because theyâd never seen Paige act like this around any other girl.
Saying your goodbyes, you hadnât realized Paigeâs hand still interlocked with yours as she looked around the bar, seemingly antsy and ready to go as you said goodbye to her teammates. As you dragged her out, she glanced down at your hands, quick to pull them apart and cover it up by reaching to slip her lanyard out of her pocket, the ringing of the keys interrupting the silence.
You only stared at her a second longer before sighing, licking your lips as you crossed your arms. Your position didnât falter the entire way there, and the walk from the campus bar to Paigeâs dorm felt like ages.
âIs there a reason for that lilâ attitude you got?â Paige chirped, the two of you barely making it through the door as she walked in before you, her back turned as she flung her keys to the counter. You scrunched your face up as you shut the door behind you, your arms finally uncrossed.
âWhat are you talking about?â You asked in fake oblivion. You were aware of the sharpness in your tone when you first replied to her. Your demeanor the whole walk here even.
Paige only chuckled, turning around swiftly as she leaned against the island. âHeard it there too,â she said, pointing out the way youâd responded. âI do something?â
It was your turn to chuckle, audibly shocked that she had the nerve to even ask such a thing. âHowâd you decide that tonight was the perfect night to have sex with me again after ignoring me for a week?â You ask rhetorically, a smile on your face. You wanted to punch the stupid smirk off of hers. She was too cocky for her own good, and you knew your words would only ignite that trait.
âIf you wanted me sooner you couldâve hit me up, you know this,â She replied, her arms now crossed over her chest as her tongue swarmed her mouth. She was amused.
You scoffed, walking closer as you spoke which was something you tended to do when you were upset. You got in peopleâs faces. âThatâs not the point, Paige.â You stuttered out, looking for the right words. Only Paige could make your normally nimble-minded self stutter at such a comeback.
Her eyes scanned your face. âThen what is the point, ma?â Your heart skipped a beat at the sudden pet name. This girl knew you in and out and she was using it to her advantage. It hurt, but you blamed yourself.
You stopped in front of her, trying not to let her looks get the best of you as you bit down on your lip. âYouâve been distant,â you mumbled, avoiding her gaze as you stared at the ground. You felt patheticâ something youâd only felt a few days out of the year. It was rare. âAnd I hate it.â You finally emphasized, peering up at Paige who seemed to have lost any of her previous confidence at your words.
Her lips were plump and parted as she stared at you. It was enough to know youâd noticed and that you cared, but she didnât want to address it, she wanted to kiss you. In one swift motion, she dropped her arms to their respective places, like a default and they knew where to go: one gripping your waist like her life depended on it, and the other cupping your face like she was being handed something she was told to take care of.
Your body trembled as you softened underneath her, your lips automatically moving against hers as you used all your pent-up emotions to keep up with her. Youâd forgotten all about your said attitude and the way Paige had totally dismissed the conversation, but right now, it was the last thing you cared about.
Her tongue slipped into your mouth, eliciting a whine from you at the quickness that made Paigeâs knees buck. She loved to hear you. She loved any sound you made. You made her weak.
âCan never get e-fucking-nough of you,â she breathed out, the comment more to herself. It was words like these that made you question how casual your hooking up was. She got so poetic and warm in the world of sex with you, and you loved it. It didnât matter if she was praising or belittling you because you would eat it up every damn time.
Your hands roam through the waves of her hair, finding a spot that you comfortably grip and tug, the motion causing Paigeâs lips to part from yours as her head tilted back slightly. You brought your lips down to her jaw, peppering kisses down the line and to her neck as you held her by her hair, Paige smiling above you. It always started like thisâ a constant fight for dominance that Paige always won. It was why sheâd been smiling so hard.
It didnât take long for you to find that good spot of hers, her smile instantly becoming a face of pure satisfaction as you sucked a light hickey onto her neck within seconds. You never did that because you knew Paige would only have to cover it up, but it felt right.
As Paigeâs hands hooked under your legs and hoisted you up, you yelped, following the gesture with a giggly laugh that Paige couldnât help but crack a smile at. She missed you. âTired of standing,â she mumbled, carrying you to her bedroom. During the short way there, your lips had found her face again, never getting enough of all of the places you could leave a wet, sensual peck.
Setting you down at the edge of the bed, Paige turned around so she could shut and lock the door. She slid her UConn sweatshirt off in the process, pivoting back to you as you sat there in all your glory, laid back on your elbows. Paige immediately got to work, pulling off your pants as she hovered over you, her bottom lip sitting snug in between her teeth.
Glancing up at her, you immediately wanted her closer as she took them off painfully slow, and as soon as she was done throwing them into a corner of her room, she didnât have any time to fully turn her head before you were pulling her into you, kissing her eagerly for the second time that night.
Her hands roamed beneath your engulfed bodies as her mind already knew where everything was without having to look. If there was one thing she learned from having sex with you, it was your body. She knew it as if it were a topic sheâd studied for hours. Her fingers glided over your clothed cunt, causing your body to squirm at the unexpected touch.
She smiled into the kiss at your reaction and the feeling of your wetness, her body falling next to you as she propped herself up with her elbow. She pushed the fabric to the side with two fingers, her lips continually moving against yours as she circled your clit. Without warning, she pushed her two middle fingers into you. You never needed much foreplay because of how wet you got so easily, but that was a gift only Paige received.
You instantly pulled away from the blonde at the feeling, your head glancing down to her moving fingers as your mouth fell agape. Paigeâs hooded eyes stared at the side of your face as your head eventually settled back onto her leaned arm with a gasp. She licked her lips, looking at the way her fingers moved in and out of you so effortlessly. âLook, baby. Doinâ so good for me.â She praised, your moans sounding like music to her ears as your eyes fluttered shut.
Suddenly, she curled her fingers, eliciting a loud, pornographic moan from the depths of your throat. âI told you to look,â she stated firmly. You opened your eyes slowly but surely as Paige lifted her arm underneath you so your head was at an elevated angle to see the bottom half of your body, and you swore you would come simply at the sight and Paigeâs strength that had been showcased from her holding you. âSo fuckinâ pretty,â she cooed. Another praise. Paige never cursed, but when she got in bed with you, it was inevitable.
âIâm gonna come, baby,â you told her, and although your mind had been completely fucked out, you were still good at picking out the things Paige got weak about, which realistically would be everything, including when you called her baby.
Her breathing picked up, the room becoming hot. âYeah? Canât wait any longer?â Paige questioned, and you automatically shook your head through moans, turning to look at Paige who had her eyes locked on you. She took a snapshot of you with her eyes, a picture she would frame in the Louvre if given the chance.
âN-no. Canât waiâ fuck!â You came undone on Paigeâs fingers with a loud groan as her pace quickened inside of you, your juices coating her fingers. She couldnât revert her gaze from your glistening cunt and the way it reflected on her slender hands, getting an urge to taste you, yet she held off.
Your chest heaved as she slowed down, a noise being made as she slipped out of you. You laid back once more despite the fact that Paigeâs arm mustâve fallen asleep by now, watching through half-shut eyes as her fingers came into view. She shoved them into your mouth, her lips parting as she tilted her head slightly and watched you lick your own slick.
âMmm,â she mumbled, nearly drooling as you grabbed her hand with your own, pushing her digits further into your mouth. You indulged at your own pace, peering up at her, knowing the thrill it would give her. Your tongue slid between the two fingers, working its way to slurp everything off. Finally, Paige had enough.
She forced her fingers out of your mouth, sliding out with a pop because of how tight youâd wrapped around them. She got up and made her way around the bed, settling with her back against the headboard. You followed her there with a crawl, laying in between her slightly spread legs as you leaned into kiss her. As your lips moved, you felt the urge for more, pulling away abruptly. Catching your breath, Paige couldnât control her own as she looked at you, eyebrows furrowed. âWhat?â She breathed out, her hands still cupping your cheeks.
You looked down, your head moving in between her cupped hands. âToo many clothes.â You panted, prompting a smile from Paige who was quick to lift her hips up, your bottom halves crashing for a moment as she slipped her sweatpants off, throwing them off the side of the bed. You followed suit with your shirt, leaving you in a lacy, purple bra that made your tits look fucking phenomenal.
Paige leaned back against the headboard, taking in the sight as you sat up before her, teasingly running your hand up the strap of your bra while you looked down. You knew what you were doing, purple is Paigeâs favorite color. Eventually, you brought both hands to the clasp in the back, finally glancing at Paige who seemed to be stuck in a daze. You smirked slightly, not tearing your eyes away from her as your tits fell from its holder, and Paige was ready to dive into you.
âCâmere.â Her voice was husk as she whispered for you to come closer, and you obeyed, crawling back to your previous position between her legs with a smirk. Thinking Paige was going to kiss you once more, you brought your lips closer to her, but she dipped her head to your collarbone, her mouth immediately getting to work as you moaned softly, bringing your hand up to play with her hair.
She began sucking, and you swore you started to feel dizzy. You glanced down at the pink-ish mark forming on your skin above the place sheâd now been getting to work on, making you a bit confused in the mist of your heavy breathing before you glanced down at the spot on Paigeâs neck that had now been a dark purple color. You didnât think sheâd noticed, but obliviously she had. Paige knew it wouldnât be a good look to her friends, but she didnât care. It was fair game and she couldnât resist you.
She then moved down, beginning to fondle with your breasts. She massaged one with one hand, attaching her lips to the other, her tongue swarming your nipple. âMissed you so much.â You whimpered, bringing your hand around to tuck her hair behind her ear, getting a good sight of her. How pretty she looked beneath you like this was all you could think about.
A few moments later, she pulled her lips away, seemingly content with the work sheâd done. She hastily pulled her boxers down afterwards, you following eagerly with your soaked panties, the same ones Paige hadnât even bothered to pull down when fingering you. Just as the two of you tangled your legs together, your beating cunts an inch away from igniting the longing pleasure, the jingle of keys and distinct chatter interrupted the moment, making you whip your head around towards the door.
You could make out the voices of Amari and Ice, realizing they mustâve left a little bit after you and Paige. The walls were too thin for this.
Without notice, Paige pressed her bottom half into you, making you moan out. She was quick to cover your mouth before you could yourself, your eyebrows furrowing through pleasure and fear of being caught. âYou know I love hearinâ you but youâre gonna have to be quiet for me, baby, okay?â she whispered, making you nod. Although the chances of being caught were high because of the unlocked door, the warmth of Paigeâs clit hitting yours over and over was enough to make you forget about all of that.
You moved against her in a way Paige thought was painfully slow, a bead of sweat already forming at the top of her head as you both couldnât tear your eyes away from where your bodies interlocked. She brought you down to her face, peppering soft kisses to your lips as you could barely build up the strength to kiss her back, all of it going into the way you moved.
Through low curses and pants, you finally mustered the strength to move your hand to Paigeâs cunt, her reaction resulting in her dropping the hand previously over your mouth, her bones feeble. âShit, keep going,â Paige murmured, her words enough to make you speed up your motions. Your hips bucked back and forth on her, whining as you tried to get as much as friction as possible.
Paigeâs hands shot down to your waist, gripping them as she admired the way her fingers molded into your skin. They trailed down to your ass, her head tilting to the side a bit so she could get a good view of the way you looked from behind. She couldnât quite fathom how you looked good in every position.
Dazed and breathless, you both felt your high bubbling within you as you continuously moved, the sound and smell of sex filling the room. âPaige, Iâmmm.. fuâ almost..â you could barely get any words out, but the blonde could make out what you were trying to say as she pushed her hips up further, getting any resistance she could.
âIâm right with you, fuck,â Paige dragged her words out, squeezing her eyes shut as she tried to hold off a little longer, but she physically couldnât. Her stamina was a bit better than yours overall because she was an athlete, but tonight she wasnât holding off.
You leaned down to rest your head in the nape of Paigeâs neck, the slightly new angle pushing you both over the edge. You felt intoxicated as you came undone, Paigeâs center never giving the throbbing a rest as she came right with you like sheâd promised. âSh-shit.â Paigeâs voice had gotten high for the first time that night. âI love you so fuckinâ much, fuck.â Paige admitted, her words rushed out. You only panted, bringing your head up to rest against her forehead as your chests heaved and you both stopped moving. Paige opened her eyes at your touch, only being able to stare into your eyes for so longâ caught in a different universe as your lips hovered over hers.
Still breathless, Paige managed to wrap her arms around you and set you down next to her, your wet, sweaty body hitting her sheets. Coming down from the sacred high and finally having room to think, youâd only just then comprehended what Paige had said, knitting your eyebrows slightly from next to her. You turned your head, realizing she had managed to hoist herself up and put her clothes back on, grabbing scattered pieces of clothing in the process. Your scattered pieces of clothing.
You propped yourself up on both elbows, her comforter covering your chest. You realized that if anyone were to walk in right now, there would be no hiding the fact that youâd indeed just fuckedâ your mascara smudged, your hair an absolute mess. You cleared your throat, indicating you were back in the right state of mind and Paigeâs body shook. Her back was turned to you, but she could already feel the tension heavy in the room.
Paige had never, not once said those three words to you. And with the way she was acting, you could tell it wasnât one of her heat-of-the-moment sayings. Sheâd meant it. âPaigeââ she cut you off before you could address it.
âYou should go. Itâs late.â Despite her attempts to shake you off, Paige knew better than anyone that she wouldnât get the last word with you. She mightâve been too full of herself, but you were one quick-witted individual.
You chuckled from behind her, an attempt to hide the actual hurt in your tone. âYouâre serious?â you asked, although you knew she was. Your eyes were widened and you couldnât believe sheâd said such a thing before literally kicking you out.
She turned around and effortlessly tossed your clothes onto the bed, the garments landing right in front of you. She didnât have to say anything. You could fucking feel it. You didnât have the energy to put up a fight or an argument because it simply did not seem like she cared enough for it. Her words would only hurt you more. Youâd known and learned this girl through and through and you wouldâve never thought sheâd do such a thing. You normally stayed the night, took a shower together, or even just stayed in each otherâs warmth until having to tend to something. But tonight, sheâd dropped a bomb and resulted in acting like an asshole.
You had a slight frown on your face as you hastily gathered your things, your clothes sloppily thrown on your body like you were sneaking out from a one-night-stand. You tucked your hair behind your ears as you put your shoes on, ignoring the unreadable expression on Paigeâs face as her eyes shot daggers into you. Why werenât you saying anything back? Why werenât you shouting the most cruel things in her face? She felt like sheâd deserved some backlash for what she just did, yet you seemed more hurt and eager to get out of her room than angry.
Without a second glance at the blonde, you rushed out of the room, nearly slamming the door behind you which elicited a slight jump from Paige. Waltzing across the living room, you almost didnât catch the widened eyes of Amari and Ice in the kitchen. You didnât care that their speculations had been confirmed, because it was shut down now. Despite being the only girl Paige had been fucking for months on end, she treated you like just another fling tonight, and you were hurt. You were hurt because you loved her too and she didnât care enough to say it again.

Hellooo! those jinx dating headcanons were so cute, could you maybe expand on Silco meeting Jinx's partner? đ©·
*:ïŸâ§ silco meeting jinxâs partner
jinx x fem!reader | sfw
this made me so happy to write, the flashback we got of younger silco is heavy on my mind :,) missing him
it would definitely be a lot less intimidating than youâd expect!
in the month or so that youâve been with jinx, silco isnât immediately distrusting of you since she talks often about how great you are. not only that, but he can see the difference youâve made in her life and her mental state. how cheery she becomes when she talks about you. how big her smile gets when he asks about you.
however, it seems sheâs a bit embarrassed at the idea of introducing him to you. so, being the protective father that he is, he takes the initiative.
one day, as youâre heading home from work, you quickly reach for the switchblade in your back pocket when you feel a hand on your shoulder behind you.
you turn around to see thereâs a woman (who is considerably taller and buffer than you) standing there, clearly surprised to see a knife pointed at her. âmy name is sevika, iâm here on behalf of silco. he wants to see you in his office before the day ends. is now a good time?â
thankfully, you recognize the name. jinx had talked about going on a few missions with her. you lower your knife and shrug. âuh⊠yeah. yeah, nowâs fine. lead the way.â
she nods and proceeds to walk with you a few streets down to the building, offering some polite conversation and reassuranceâ this meeting is solely for the purpose of introducing himself to you, since his daughter wonât.
she takes you to the door of silcoâs office, opening it for you and wishing you good luck.
you donât immediately see silco, but you do hear his voice. âtake a seat wherever youâd like.â
once sevika shuts the door behind you, you take a deep breath and follow his instructions; sitting down at his desk and watching his own chair spin around so that he can finally come face-to-face with you.
your anxiety is through the roof and your heart wonât slow down no matter how many deep breaths you take, but youâre able to muster a polite smile.
he sees right through it, though. of course. like father, like daughter. âyou seem frightened. i apologize if sevika gave you a scare.â
âoh, noâ she was really nice. itâs just⊠i wasnât expecting a meeting with the kingpin of the underground today.â you joke.
he laughs, which makes you a bit more comfortable. âanother apology is in order, then. i know this is sudden, but jinx⊠she gets so bashful at the idea of introducing us. i figured, why donât i take the big leap?â
you nod. âyeah, of course. she talks very highly of you.â
âand you, as well. she talks my ear off, a million words a minute if she finds a way to bring you up.â silco shakes his head with a growing smile. âitâs impressive, how quickly sheâs become smitten with you. iâd think you were a sorceress if i didnât know any better.â
youâre flattered by his kind words, and a bit excited by the fact that she seemingly talks about you so much. you must be doing something right.
the two of you continue on as you answer all of the questions he asks about your upbringing and your current life, and you ask questions about his. it almost begins to feel like youâre talking to an old friend, not the most feared and influential man in the lanes.
however, at one point, he suddenly becomes very serious.
ânow, i feel this is an appropriate time to tell you this. you seem to be a genuinely good person, which is all too rare these days.â silco sighs. then, he clasps his hands together and casually leans forward onto the desk, resting his chin on his fists. âwith that being said, if i ever come to find out that you have made my daughter suffer in any way, you will never know peace again. do i make myself clear?â
your eyes widen. youâre finally starting to see why the entire population of zaun is scared witless by him. âunderstood. it will never come to that, though. i can only hope you take my word for it.â
silco nods in approval of your answer. heâs very impressed by your ability to remain calm in the face of his intimidation. it only proves to him that youâre as good as you seem, and that your intentions are pureâ you have nothing to hide.
after a brief silence, he opens his mouth to speak again, but heâs interrupted by the sound of his office door slamming open.
âsheâs missing!â
youâre shocked to hear jinx. she sounds frantic, voice hoarse and pitchy, like she canât contain her terror. âi checked everywhere, high and low! we need to send one of your goons toââ
sheâs silenced when she sees you turn around in your chair and meet her glare. her look of horror turns into one of confusion. âwhat the hell is going on here? is this an intervention?â
you snort at her question, patting the chair next to you, inviting her to come sit down. her shoulders slump and she lets out a dramatic huff as she sulks over to sit beside you. her arms cross defensively. âi donât know what you weirdos think i did, but those fireworks going off last night were not mine, and to be frank, itâs kind of offensive that youâd assume iââ
âjinx, if you donât mind,â silco puts a hand up, imploring her to stop talking. âweâll talk about those fireworks later.â
âwhat?! i just said they werenât mine.â jinx scoffs.
âyou ramble when you lie. donât you think iâd know that by now?â silco sighs. âthatâs beside the point. since you had no plans to introduce me to y/n, i decided to introduce myself.â
you hum in confirmation. âthatâs all. no intervention.â
it takes jinx a long moment to process this information; it seems as if she forgot silco has eyes everywhere, and when he wants something done, it will be done.
youâre almost expecting her to be upset before a beaming smile replaces the scowl on her face. âun-fuckinâ-believable! iâm searching all over zaun for you, while youâre here, kicking back with him?!â she points in his direction.
âprecisely.â silco steps in for you, aware that this is one of those times where she is very happy, yet tries to pretend that she is very upset. âif itâs of any reassurance to youâ to both of youâ this relationship has my badge of approval.â
instantly, you feel a sense of pride in knowing that youâd made such a good impression on him. heâs a man thatâs very hard to impress, as far as youâve heard.
you reach for jinxâs hand and squeeze it. her smile is almost as big as yours now. âlook at that. i aced the big interview, and i havenât gone missing.â
