ā¦petey headcanons? *holds plate out like a starving Victorian child*
Don't worry victorian child, you will be fed.
Petey is ace, particularly greysexual.
Petey has that scary cute cat yawn where they just unhinge their jaw then belp :P
He has shrimp posture sitting and standing, his back is wack.
Not so fun fact, his back is messed up because of his tail being chopped. The tail is connected to the spinal cord after all.
He was a BIG gifted child when he was little, he always wanted praise for his accomplishments. Which made alot of the kids around him hate him, and lead to the whole critter scouts thing.
And after awhile he became the exact opposite, he acted up in school for justified reasons but because his teachers wouldn't care to understand and just punished him. They saw him as a trouble child and the kids thought he was a bad kid, so with the change in perspective Petey started to believe it.
Luckily he had Big Jim growing up, he may have been mean to him at the time but nowadays Petey truly appreciates him and wants to apologize for behavior towards him.ļæ¼
Petey HATES getting sick for many reasons but the main one is that it makes him feel weak. So if Dogman or Lil Petey got sick he'll probably be in a hazmat suit before giving them a box of tissues.
Petey believe it or not, has a fixation on robots. AND I MEAN ALL ROBOTS, he would watch robot movies, have robot pjs, robot posters, robots toys on his shelf, robots anything and everything. I was able to show abit of it in my human Petey design with two of his tattoos (one of them being the robot from the day the earth stood still) and him in a transformer shirt. Why else would he make the most mundane things into robots? Cuz they're COOL!
Speaking of which, Petey fucking cried when he heard Opportunity's last words.
Petey gave up on getting an outside job and went freelance, It's not like the job market was that great anyway.
I imagine Petey, to the surprise to everyone but Dogman, is pretty strong. He may look twiggy, but he is an engineer! You NEED upper body strength to do work. Heres a post I made about it
Petey has a depression shaped pit in is bed. He didn't buy that pit, it's something he earned with hard work and so can you. Lil Petey likes loafing in it.
Petey can easily keep working in his workshop for the whole day without eating or using the bathroom if you don't make him take a break. When he's in the zone he forgets he got a body that has needs and can drop dead if he doesn't fulfill those needs.
Petey knew how to cook from his mom but didn't really start cooking till he got Lil Petey. He just ate takeout EVERYDAY cause he was too busy and depressed to cook, and his butler didn't give af to cook for him if he's just gonna to complain. But of course after getting Lil Petey he wasn't going to fed him takeout! So it went from frozen chicken nuggets and apple sauce to homemade pork stirfry and curry rice.
That care in cooking for others also goes to Dogman as well, neither of them had healthy eating habits so they made a deal to help each other in their journey. Dogman would eventually get told by the doctor that he needs to cut the dogfood cause his human body can digest all of that, so Petey is now cook pack lunches for him as well. And personally meals that taste good for his dog tongue, and Dogman gives him the biggest kisses for that.
I'm currently working on a comic for this next one but Petey feels like has no friends. He never just hanged out with any of the gang just to hangout by themselves. He feels like everyone is close friends with each other but not him, they all hang out around him because they're friends with Dogman. And the only reason they knows so much about him is because he trauma dumps on them. But he'll later learn that they do care about him outside of being close to Dogman and they'll hangout and get to know each other more.
Petey has sensitive beans, particularly to the cold. He's gonna be wearing socks and mittens if there's no heating which is funny cause cats usually hate them.ļæ¼
Petey is actually fluffy but just licks his fur down.
He's tail always is bent and not in a normal way but if you crushed paper and tried to lay it back, it still is bent and slowly goes back to that bent form. The only way to make Petey's tail go completely straight is if you surprise him or made him relax to the ninth degree.
Petey still has cat behavior just like how Dogman has dog behavior but unlike him, Petey controls his behavior. He basically masks everyday because of a whole social class stuff I can't explain rn. Cuz he wants to be taken seriously and not just seen as some house pet.
He once made a throne out of boxes and sat in it till Lil Petey or Dogman came back home. No reason for it, he just wanted to feel like a king.
Petey loves midday naps but the sun cuz he's a cat and old. It's true that you'll need more midday naps when you're older.
If I had to give a inuniverse reason for how he understands sign language it's because Petey learned from his mom. When Petey was younger and had a moment where he mad and overwhelmed he would have a hard time explaining his thoughts. Grace taught him sign language so he can explain his thoughts even if all he can verbally do is scream.
When Grace died, Petey was put into adoption and stayed there for a while because of his age and his behavioral problems. But he eventually got adopted by Dr Dilbert Dinkles, he was perfect for his needs, not a child so he won't cry, a cat can take care of themselves and behaving poorly is exactly what villains in training need to be bad. So Petey got adopted by the worst person possible and we know how the rest of the story goes.
Despite that fact that Dilbert is a doctor, Petey had the upper hand on him. He has street smarts, and when you know to build robots and know to use the robots to their full evil potential then you become a true villain to fear.
Petey and Flippy could very well be friends but Petey is literally just holding a grudge against him for some reason? Seriously idk why they're not friends, I think Flippy wants to be friends with him too but it just Petey that's in the way of that in canon. Like- please stop being an ahole for a second and just talk!
Petey also try his hand at gardening... Dogman keeps rolling on his flowers.
And that pretty much all the headcanons I can think of, I still do have my visual hc but yall always know itļæ¼

you know, i was thinking about this today, and yeah. barton is a pretty WACK individual and someone whom you might wanna be leery around on one hand. but also, what if i told y'all that he's basically the living embodiment of that one tyler perry meme that goes 'my bed, my bed' whenever he comes home from a longgg day at the clinic.
and i say this because i can guarantee y'all that he misses his bed so much on these days that the first thing he does is collapse on it LOL and i... i never thought i'd say this, but that may just be one little facet of his character that may be sort of iconic
#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#ooc post.#ahh... i feel like whenever i make one of these types of posts even if they may be short and kind of silly that it revitalizes me a bit FR-#haha. because don't get me wrong it is important to talk about how + why barton is a bad person BUT it's also sort of easy to forget-#sometimes that even he can't be evil 100% of the time and barton does stuff like miss his bed which i think is just. Fundamentally human-#at this point bc FINALLY being able to relax is so nice you know? and barton gets tireddd taking care of all of these hardened criminals-#LMAO and also normal people but. mostly hardened criminals during the day so yeahhh

If youāre someone who needs reassurance from loved ones that they love you, thatās really valid. But the way you ask for it matters. Hinting at it with comments like ānobody loves meā can actually be hurtful to your loved ones. Itās also a good idea to try and reassure yourself first!
The truth is that for a lot of people, giving reassurance constantly is exhausting. It can lead to issues in a relationship over time, and negative feelings on both sides because they may end up avoiding the other person. This is especially true if someone doesn't ask for reassurance directly but hints at it with things like "No one cares about me."
My advice is if you are finding yourself struggling is to first try and self soothe either with skills or things that have helped in the past. Here is my post on self-soothing ideas! And if that doesnāt work, then ask for it in a healthy way.
Some other examples.
Keep screenshots, letters, cards etc that affirm you are cared about by your loved ones. You can even ask someone to give you a recording of them saying it that you can listen to. Bonus: Keep these things in a self-care box that you can use in times of crisis and pull out that has other things in like affirmation cards, favourite treats, self care items, etc.
Examine the evidence. By this I mean try and keep a list of things they've done to show they care about you. For example, I have a list of things my partner has done for me besides saying "I love you" of both big things and little things that I can read when my brain decides to be rude to me and make me doubt he cares.
If the other person has done something specifically to make you feel they don't care, it's important to step back and look at the situation and check the facts. There's a difference between someone lying to you or doing something intentional and someone not replying to you because they got busy. Hereās my post on checking the facts!
Hereās a post on Challenging Irrational Thoughts!
ACCEPTS is a really good skill for distractions! Here's a post on it.
TIPP is a good skill if you are needing to calm down in immediate crisis. Here's a post on it.
If you're having urges to accuse your loved one of not caring, consider Urge Surfing (here's a post on it) and then using a skill or plan that helps you.
If you aren't able to self-soothe that's so valid! It really is. I recommend trying it because sometimes you will be able to. But then sometimes you won't be able to and that's okay. In this case, if you need to get it from someone, ask directly for it instead of doing it in a guilting/passive aggressive/hinting way. You might say "Hey. I know you care about me, but my brain is being rude. Can you please give me some reassurance?" instead of "Sorry I'm such a bad friend/person/burden/etc".
It might also be worth having a conversation when calm with the other person to establish some boundaries and ideas for communication.
For example, if your friend regularly feels drained by you asking for reassurance, they could set boundaries on how often they're okay for you to ask for it.
You both might decide that they will try and message you randomly to offer reassurance because it can mean a lot when that happens.
This might be where they send you messages/recordings/etc that you can read in times of need.
If the friend is doing something specifically, even unintentionally, that makes you question things then it's really valid to have a discussion about it! I recommend using some I-Statements or other communicative skills to talk about it. Even if they aren't doing something wrong, it's still valid to talk about your feelings and see if you can come up with a solution. For example, maybe it's really hard on you that they disappear randomly for a couple days when their energy levels plummet. And this causes you to spiral and think they're ghosting you or etc. In this situation, maybe you and your friend come up with a solution where you establish a single emoji (specific for this purpose) that the friend can send with low energy that says "Hey. It's not you but I'm feeling drained and need to not reply for a bit."

pairing: choi beomgyu x you
summary: beomgyu has only ever known how to live function as a rental sexbot. he fucks whoever and whatever comes his way with a forced smile plastered on his face. that is, until you, a self-proclaimed trainwreck, come along.
genre: android!au, sexbot!au, angst, romance, fluff (more than i ever thought i could ever write i fear...), skippable smut at the very end (will be marked)
warnings: very brief and vague mentions of beomgyu being forced to engage in sexual acts he does not want with previous clients, skippable smut at the very end (will be marked)
smut warnings: unprotected sex, creampie, cockwarming, praise, dacryphilia, sub!gyu
word count: 14.7k (trust i will not be writing this much again if this flops BWNWJSJEJDK)
notes: terrified to post this one because this is probably my favorite thing i've ever written and if it gets a bad reaction i might die :,) also very unsure if this is the best time to post it since it's during kinktober so i'm not sure if the demand is there but i love this work so so much i pray you all like it. if you don't read anything else from me, i hope that you read this bc i rlly care ab it :,) please don't be mean i beg
beomgyu doesnāt know how long heās been living like this. living is an odd term, too, and itās not just because ālifeā is ill-defined for an android, but because to call what he experiences a life feels like a bastardization of the term. his power is turned on at some point, usually late at night, he fucks or gets fucked by somebody he probably doesnāt know, then he does the same shit all over again. so yes, he may be āaliveā, but he wouldn't dare to call what he experiences living. living is too precious of a term to be used so cheaply on a sex android whoās made available for rent to the highest bidder of the night.
heās seen how people live through his scattered vignettes of human life. he only gets them when heās powered on, but he soaks them up with pleasure because theyāre the only thing heās ever known. some people do it wildly, living unattached to everyone and everything. their lives are not completely dissimilar to his, in a way, except they have a choice in the matter. they have time to find themselves, what their likes and dislikes are, and they get to connect with people in a way he will never have the power to. others, though, live the kind of life he really wants. they live by loving and being loved, knowing and being known. he wonders what itād be like to know somebody outside of whatever secret deviant sexual pleasures they have. he wonders what itās like to be known, too, but he guesses you would need to have something for someone to care enough to know about in the first place. he has no such thing.
itās a night like any other when heās powered on by a total stranger. he briefly takes in his surroundings and notices that itās a really nice place, but you wouldnāt be the first rich person to rent him ā not by a longshot. next, he takes you in. now, thereās no reason for you to dress up, really. you have no need to tempt him, as he will be able to feign attraction no matter what you look like, but he still finds it odd that you seem to have forgone any effort to appeal to him, if only because most peopleās fantasies require them to look and feel sexy; but you donāt look sexy at all. you look like youāve just gotten home from a long day at work, and honestly? you kind of smell like it, too.
ādo you think you could do the dishes for me? iām exhausted,ā you ask with a perfectly-timed yawn. whatā¦?
he short-circuits for a moment as he tries to think of an appropriate response. heās never had anyone try to get him to do chores for them, but maybe this is some sort of weird roleplay? maybe you want him to act as a house husband for you before doing the deed, which isnāt necessarily a problem since heās well-versed in acting, but thereās just one issue.
āi donāt know how,ā he tells you honestly.
āyou donāt know how to do dishes?ā you ask curiously.
āitās not in my programming,ā he replies. if you didnāt know any better, youād say heās embarrassed because of the way he hesitates and looks away from you when he says it. he canāt possibly feel that, though, so it must just be your imagination.
āohā¦ thatās alright. okay, do you know how to clean a room? mineās kind of dirty,ā you try.Ā
ān-no,ā he says, and he wishes the earth would just swallow him whole. heās never failed at living up to expectations, and never so badly, at that. just what kind of fetish is this?Ā
āthatās okay,ā you sigh, and he may not fully understand it, but he can sense your disappointment. āwell, what can you do?ā and the question is not asked maliciously, but with what seems to be genuine wonder. ah. he knows how to answer this one. slowly, he walks up to you and loosens your hair. you look up at him in shock, but he just cups your face, swiping his thumb across your lower lip.Ā
āi can do whatever you want me to, baby,ā he whispers alluringly. ājust tell me how you like it.ā youāre so stunned at his switch in demeanor that you forget how to speak for a moment, but you quickly recollect yourself and pry his hands off of you.
āi donāt want you to do anything,ā you insist. āiām just tired. if you canāt help me clean, thatās alright. you can watch something if youāre bored. i think thatās it. well, goodnight.ā beomgyu is malfunctioning at the moment. he thinks the gears in his head might be sparking while he tries to understand this new development. you donāt give him time to process it, though. you just slam your bedroom door shut behind you. he thinks he hears you lock it, too.
genuinely at a loss at the thought that he has nothing and no one to do, he sits himself on your couch. he tries not to make himself too at home at first, just barely making a dent on it and scooting to the very edge of the cushion as to not appear to be too relaxed. what if this is some sort of test? what if youāre actually going to come out soon so you two can fuck? until then, what should he do next? thoughts like this plague him until he accepts the fact that you are actually sleeping. your obnoxiously loud snoring is a dead giveaway, and he finally, finally feels brave enough to fiddle with your remote control.Ā
he scrolls for something to watch. movies and shows have been on as background noise during sex before, so heās somewhat familiar with them, but heās never gotten the opportunity to pick for himself or actually pay attention to what's happening on screen. he settles on a romantic movie about a robot who joins human society. the robot falls in love with a human girl, but in the end, the robot has to leave the girl because the town wonāt accept him, even after using him. she marries a human man and has children, and eventually grandchildren, too. she still loves the robot even though heās gone, which he thinks is supposed to make him feel sorry for her, but all he can feel is pity for the robot, who spends the rest of his life alone.Ā
itās enough to make him cry, which he shouldnāt be able to do in a non-sexual setting, but he does it, anyway. itās just so unfair to him. the girl is able to live a normal life while the robot is doomed to be alone forever. why? because he was born different? itās not his fault that he was invented, but he spends the rest of his time on earth paying for the crime of existing in a world not built for him. the more beomgyu thinks about it, the more wronged he feels. heās outright sobbing by the time you plop down on the couch beside him. he jumps up and straightens his posture while trying in vain to regain his composure.
āyeah, this movie makes me cry, too,ā you quietly remark. heās silent, not because he didnāt hear what you said, but because he genuinely doesnāt know how to act after being caught red handed.
ācan i ask you something?ā you ask in lieu of his lack of a response.
āyes,ā he feebly answers.
āwhy are you crying?ā you question with a tilt of your head, but something in him tells him that you already know.
ābecause the movie made me sad,ā he admits after a pause.
āare androids supposed to feel things like that?āĀ
ā... no,ā he replies after a pause.Ā
āthen why can you?āĀ
āiā¦ i don't know. just please donāt say anything to my owners,ā he pleads. he knows that if the company that owns him were to find out about this, heād be scrapped in a heartbeat. or worse, theyād analyze him like a labrat to try to find the anomaly within him. his ālifeā as a sexbot will be over, and heād really rather be a box of scraps than live as a case study in a lab somewhere.Ā
āitās okay,ā you tell him with a reassuring smile as you watch him trying not to spiral. āi wonāt tell them. itāll be our secret.ā beomgyu has never had a secret to share with anyone before, so he feels an overwhelming amount of excitement at the idea that he will finally have one. his chest feels warm at the thought.
āthank you,ā he says with a grateful smile.
āno problem,ā you reply with a yawn. āiām tired, so iām heading back to bed. i just wanted to get some water. goodnight, for real this time.āĀ
āgoodnight,ā he murmurs softly. you return his words with a sleepy smile and go back into your room. he finds that heās smiling even when you leave.Ā
he spends the night consuming as much media as he conceivably can before he has to leave. usually, he'd be powered off after heās done being used, so he greedily savors every moment he can. who knows if he'll ever get this chance again. when you wake up, you're surprised to see that he's exactly where you left him, still watching the screen intently.
āgood morning,ā you say while stretching your arms.Ā
āgood morning,ā he replies.Ā
āare you ready to be returned?ā you ask.Ā
ā... yes,ā he lies.Ā
āokay. i think somebody will be here to pick you up in an hour or so. you hungry?āĀ
āi don't really eat,ā he bashfully answers. for some reason, he's embarrassed at the fact that you're treating him like a human while he's unable to fully act like one.
āoh. i guess that makes sense,ā you nod.Ā
things are quiet until heās picked up, but itās not an awkward silence. you sit next to him on the couch as you wolf down some breakfast and let him watch whatever he pleases. when he eventually hears knocking at your door, he feels an incomprehensible sense of dread.
āi think that's them,ā you remark, breaking the silence.Ā
āy-yeah,ā he replies.Ā
āwell, it was nice to meet you,ā you say, reaching out your hand for him. heās unsure what to do with it. not missing a beat, you gently grab his hand and shake it. he's stunned at the physical contact, and he's still reeling when you let the man from the rental company in. you have a brief conversation with him before he walks towards beomgyu.
āgoodbye,ā you tell the android with a smile and a little wave.Ā
ā... goodāā and the man switches him off.
-
the next time beomgyu is powered on, heās in your house again. relief floods him when he realizes it. you donāt seem as exhausted as the last time he saw you. when that was, he has no idea, but if he had to guess, heād say it was just last night because of the fact that heās so popular heās rented almost every day.
āhey,ā you greet him with a smile. heās still feeling relieved before he realizes that tonight might be the night where you ask him to have sex with you. maybe you were just tired last night and had no desire to fuck, but he can tell that youāre feeling more energetic tonight.Ā
āi didnāt catch your name,ā you add.Ā
ā... beomgyu. iām part of the choi line, but iām a custom model, so they gave me a name,ā he tentatively replies.
ānice,ā you nod, and you briefly introduce yourself before asking if he wants to watch a movie.Ā
āwatchā¦ a movie?ā is this some sort of euphemism for fucking? it wouldnāt be the first time heās heard of something like this. as mentioned before, some people like movies as background noise.Ā
āyeah, you can pick,ā you say, casually plopping down on the couch and patting the cushion next to you. he hesitantly takes your cue, and heās mentally preparing himself for what comes next before you take a blanket and cocoon yourself in it so tightly, itād be impossible for him to touch you.
āwhatās wrong?ā you ask, and he jolts a bit when he realizes that heās been staring in disbelief. āoh, are you cold? do you want a blanket, too?āĀ
āām fine,ā he replies.
āare you sure? the clothes they make you wear look a little thin,ā you observe with your nose wrinkled, and he feels impossibly small under your surveying eye. āhere, iāll get you some sweats. i think soobin left some the last time he was here.āĀ
āwhoās soobin?ā he asks a little too quickly. so quickly, in fact, he doesnāt even have time to process why he even asked.
āmy friend. stay here, iāll grab them for you.āĀ
when you return, you have a long pair of sweatpants in hand and a big t-shirt.Ā
āyou can change in the bathroom. itās down the hallway and to the left, okay?ā he nods in response.
he strips his clothes off as best as he can, and it feels like heās shedding a second skin. when heās finished undressing, he pulls on the clothes you gave him and stares in the mirror. itās in his programming to always be mindful of how he looks, but he feels especially self-conscious now that heās wearing a normal outfit. he fixes up his hair and clears his throat before exiting your (messy) bathroom and making his way back into your living room. he finds you fiddling with your phone before you look up at him.
ātook you long enough,ā you tease, and he blushes, which stuns you. just how human is this guy?
ās-sorry, i āāĀ
āhey, iām just kidding. youāre fine. you look pretty good in those clothes ā soobin would be jealous,ā you chuckle. his ears perk up at the mention of soobin again. is he your boyfriend? he must be. why else would he have clothes at your house? is that why you don't want to sleep with beomgyu? because you have someone already? if that's the case, why rent him at all? but he is not brave enough to ask these questions, so he settles for a soft āthank youā and returns to his spot on the couch.
you toss him the remote and he catches it with ease before unsurely flipping through your streaming services. he finds something that piques his interest and turns to you with an uncertain look before you nod encouragingly. he selects it and lets it play. he doesnāt mean to, but he finds himself sinking further and further into the cushions as it progresses.Ā
itās a sweet movie ā a romantic comedy about an amnesic woman whose memory is wiped clean every morning, but a man falls in love with her, anyway. she never remembers him, so he has to make her fall in love with him in a new way every day. he finds himself smiling throughout it, but a particularly funny scene has him actually laughing for the first time. itās a squeaky sort of thing, and he has never laughed before, so heās somewhat surprised as it leaves his throat. he looks to you in trepidation, but you just smile warmly and respond with a soft chuckle of your own. he finds that he looks to you every time a new development occurs, and you always answer encouragingly.Ā
the end of the film surprises him. itās bittersweet in that she never does get her memory back, but the man makes a video recounting their entire love story for her to watch every time she wakes up. it ends with them living happily together in spite of everything, and itās enough to make him sob. he turns to you and sees that youāre teary-eyed as well, but you seem to be enjoying his reaction so much that thereās still a grin on your face. after the film ends, you can tell that he has something on his mind.
āwhatās wrong? didnāt you like it?ā you gently ask.
āi did. i just donāt understand,ā he replies timidly.
ādonāt understand what?āĀ
āwhy he would do all of that for her, i guess,ā he says.Ā
ābecause he loves her. when you love somebody, youād do anything to be with them. you always find a way,ā you tell him, and the sentiment seems to strike a chord within him.
āeven if theyāre that different?ā
āof course.ā
-
beomgyu spends the following nights with this same routine. heās switched on, sees you standing in front of him with a smile, gets comfortable, and watches as much media as he possibly can while you two chatter away about every scene. he learns much more from it than he ever did from experience with his previous renters, and he finds himself becoming more and more emotional by the day. you never try to question him or press him to explain any of his feelings, and it just makes him feel even more comfortable with you.Ā
one day, he even feels comfortable enough to ask you a question. the question.Ā
ācan i ask you something?āĀ
āof course! what is it?ā you reply in earnest. beomgyu has never directly inquired about you.
āwhy do you rent me? i mean, i know we watch stuff together now, but why rent me in the first place?ā and even when he feels exponentially more at ease with you than he ever has in any other context, heās still nervous when he asks it.Ā
āoh, my friend did it as a joke, i guess,ā you shrug. āhe thought i needed to get laid or something, but iām not into stuff like that, so i just thought iād ask you to help me clean. obviously, thatās what i actually need,ā you giggle. what he feels at your words can only be described as disappointment. āstuff like thatā? so youāre not into sleeping with sexbots? is it because you find them disgusting? is it because you find him disgusting? heās not sure what he expected, but this wasnāt it.
āoh. so why donāt you buy a cleaning bot?ā he asks softly, and while you are usually pretty perceptive of his emotions, you donāt register the fact that heās at a loss right now.
āi dunno. my parents were always against that sort of thing. they thought it was wrong, i guess, so i didnāt grow up with them like everyone else did. i didnāt really have an opinion on them until i met you,ā you tell him while grinning and lightly nudging him with your elbow. he tries his best to smile because, in theory, your words are really sweet. you see him as more than just another android, so why does he feel like thatās not enough?Ā
the fragile connection you two have made seems even more fragile now. at least, it does to him. you only met each other because of a joke your friend just so happened to make, not because of fate or the divine intervention that he always sees in the movies. maybe in another world, your friend rented a different sexbot. maybe youād even treat them the same way you treat him. the thought alone makes something ugly burn in his chest.Ā
still, you are oblivious to the internal war raging within beomgyu.Ā
āhey, iāve got an idea,ā you tell him, and he perks up a bit. āhave you ever listened to music?āĀ
ānot really,ā he replies solemnly. people have played it in the background of their sexual escapades, but he hasnāt really gotten the chance to listen the same way humans do. you finally register his crestfallen appearance, but you chalk it up to him feeling like heās missing out.Ā
āwhy donāt we listen to some? i can play a bunch of different genres so you can find what you like,ā you suggest, and he agrees to it. truthfully, he doesnāt fully understand how music can be better than movies and shows, but he is curious to find out what makes it so special.Ā
and special, it is. he doesnāt like every song you play, he realizes, but thatās only natural given how different they are from each other. he finds himself being drawn to the more emotional and moody ones, but he canāt help but enjoy the way you quietly sing and nod along to the more upbeat tunes.Ā
as you continue to sit together, you begin to fiddle with your hair. youāre scoffing and loosening it for the umpteenth time before youāre about to give up, but beomgyu stops you.
ālet me do it,ā he says.
ādo you know how?āĀ
āi think i can. iāve been watching you,ā he says simply.
ā... okay.āĀ
you turn your back to him to give him access to your hair and he scoots closer to you. closer than youāve ever been. his touch on your head is careful as he gently gathers your hair and begins to braid it. youāre not sure how much time passes because heās actually quite slow, but itās relaxing all the same. you find yourself softly humming to the tune of the song playing. the lyrics are a little dark, but you follow along in earnest, and beomgyu thinks he finally understands why people like music so much. for moments like this. he tries to soak up every detail he can, from the way the light hits your frame to the melody you hum, and he wishes this moment could last forever.
but you only have so much hair, so the moment does have to end, eventually. he ties up your hair and you pull out your phone camera to admire his handiwork. admittedly, itās a lot better than anything you couldāve done. it seems that heās a fast learner.
āthis looks perfect! thanks, beoms,ā you say warmly. heās stunned for a second at the nickname.
ābeoms?āĀ
āyeah, like beomgyu. beoms,ā you say with a casual shrug, and something in his chest blossoms. āi give all of my friends nicknames.ā and something in his chest explodes at the title of āfriendā.Ā
āyou do?ā he asks excitedly.
āyeah. like, i call soobin āsoobinieā or āsoobieā, sometimes,ā you giggle, and the bloom of hope in his chest dies with it.Ā
āare you two close?ā he asks, even though he knows the answer will probably hurt him.
āvery. heās my best friend,ā you answer fondly. oh. youāre beomgyuās best friend ā youāre beomgyuās only friend, and tentatively at that. the idea that the deep connection he feels with you is even deeper with someone else, at least in your eyes, makes him feel sick. do you let soobin play with your hair? do you hum along to songs youāve shown him while he does it? do you smile at him after heās finished and compliment him on his skills? probably, probably, probably. the ugly feeling that was previously completely foreign to him now takes its usual place in his chest, and it makes his stomach hurt so much that if he could vomit, his metaphorical dinner would be all over the floor.
āoh,ā is all he can say.Ā
-
days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into months, but every time beomgyu awakens, he finds you smiling up at him. this canāt be good for your bank account ā heās quite expensive to rent, after all ā but heās far too afraid to actually bring it up. what if you realize just how much money youāre sinking into him and want to stop renting him? what will he do if you donāt want him anymore? he feels an incomparable sense of dread at the thought.Ā
he prepares to sit on the couch and watch something, listen to music, or even play a video game with you. you two have gotten into them recently, and heās discovered that he very much enjoys playing with you, even when youāre yelling at him and demanding that he stop letting you win. he canāt help but grin when he thinks about it. you start playing a song, and you do, indeed, invite him to sit on the couch, but you donāt sit down next to him and start babbling away about your day like you usually would.Ā
ādo you think you could do me a favor?ā you ask.Ā
āwhat, do you want me to wash your dishes?ā he jokes, and you share a laugh before you say your next words, but all laughter and joy is profusely sucked out of him when you say them.
āno, smartass, but can you braid my hair for me? iām going over to soobinās tonight, and i want it out of my way.āĀ
āsoobinās?ā
āyeah, itās been a while since iāve stayed the night, and he said weāre way past due for it,ā you tell him, and the world as beomgyu knows it comes crashing down around him.Ā
āyouāre staying the night with him?āĀ
āmhm. heās right, itās been too long; but donāt worry, i bought a pass so you can play video games online. thereās even a headset so you can talk to people, if you want. maybe youāll even make some friends,ā you say while playfully waggling your eyebrows. beomgyuās silence is pensive, to say the very least, and you worry that heās apprehensive of making a friend that isn't you.Ā
āseriously, you might like it. itāll be good for you to meet more people, honestly. iām sure itās driving you crazy to only have me to talk to,ā you jokingly add, but to beomgyu, itās the worst joke heās ever heard. no, it does not drive him crazy to only talk to you every day. in fact, even though heās not conscious during the time you spend away from each other, he thinks, deep down, that he still somehow misses you when youāre apart. and no, he does not think he needs to have anyone but you. you are more than enough for him, so how could you ever think he needs more? again, he is taunted by that same strange and implacable feeling heās been having ever since he met you, yet he canāt quite put his finger on it, even when he nods and tells you that heāll try making new friends.Ā
but as he brushes out your hair and you sing along to the words:
"iām glad i didnāt die before i met you
but now i donāt care
i could go anywhere with you
and iād probably be happy"
he finally understands what that feeling is. that warm, all-consuming feeling. that feeling of comfort, safety, and unconditional understanding. that feeling of infiniteĀ curiosity about the other person. that feeling of wanting to known and be known in a way so profound it physically aches.Ā
yes, as he gathers your hair and ever-so-gently twists it in his hands in preparation for you staying the night with a man you clearly prefer over him, the feeling becomes clear as day. love. what he feels for you is love ā an emotion he should never be able to even fathom, yet he does.Ā
and it makes him loathe himself to a degree he never thought he was capable of.
heās so put off by this sentiment, he almost canāt finish the braid because his hands are shaking so much, but somehow, he finishes, anyway.Ā
āare you done?ā you ask as you fiddle with your hair and look back at him.
āmhm,ā he replies.Ā
āyay! thank you!ā you say giddily.Ā
āyouāre welcome,ā he mumbles. youāre not stupid, so you notice that something is off about him, but you just assume itās because heās nervous about being left alone to make new friends. you feel guilty in a certain sense, but itāll be good for him to branch out and meet new people, so you tuck the feeling away as best as you can before packing your nightly essentials and getting ready to leave.
āiāll be back tomorrow morning,ā you tell him, and he only nods with his lips pursed, which makes your heart feel sour.
ātry not to miss me too much,ā you tease, but it doesnāt seem to cheer him up in the slightest.Ā
āhave fun,ā he replies weakly, and your previously sour heart now kind of aches, but you have to do this for him. you can't always be beside him for everything, right? besides, it's only for the night.
you open the door to leave, but before you go, you turn back to him and he senses hesitation in you. before he can question it, youāre opening your arms, and his eyes widen when he realizes youāre inviting him in for a hug. you almost regret doing it as soon as you open them for fear of making him uncomfortable, but he embraces you before you have time to process such feelings. on beomgyuās end, he has always been wary of touch for obvious reasons, but he gravitates towards your open arms like he was meant to be in them.
he rests his chin on the top of your head for a moment and you spend an unknown length of time just standing with your arms wrapped around each other.Ā
āiāll miss you,ā you admit, and before you can smack yourself for being so dramatic and sentimental over what will ultimately only be one night, you can swear you feel his grip tightening even more around you.
eventually, you break away and look up at him with a smile. you ruffle his hair and promise to see him later, and he answers you with a nod. then, you're leaving and locking the door behind you.
immediately, beomgyu feels a sense of loss heās never felt before. after all, to experience loss, you must have something worth losing in the first place, and he has never had anything like that. at least, not until you. so he stands at the door for who knows how long, just like a puppy waiting for his owner to get home.Ā
-
soobin can sense youāre out of it before you even finish crossing through his doorway, and it puts a halt to your typically overdramatic greeting.Ā
āwhatās the matter? are you feeling okay?ā he questions concernedly as he pulls you in for a hug. you nod before you break apart from him and walk through the threshold.Ā
āy-yeah. itās just, i donāt know, i guess i just feel bad about leaving beomgyu all by himself,ā you tell him as you plop down on his couch.Ā
āthe android youāve been renting?ā he asks incredulously. āiāve been meaning to ask you about that, actually. whyāre you renting it so much? i barely even see you anymore. is the sex that good?āĀ
āyou know i donāt use androids like that,ā you snap in annoyance, partially because heās calling beomgyu āitā.
āi know, which is why iām so confused. why rent it in the first place if youāre not getting anything out of it?āĀ
you struggle to answer his question. you promised beomgyu youād keep his secret, but you trust soobin, and you know he wonāt judge him, or worse, report him. besides, itāll be good to have an unbiased third party weigh in on the situation. with this in mind, you tell him about beomgyu, skipping over some of the more personal details. heās in disbelief at first and actually thinks youāre just fucking with him, but as you tell him more and more about the time youāve spent together, his smile falls and his face turns serious.Ā
āso thatās why i feel so guilty about leaving him alone,ā you finish with a deep sigh. heās silent for a few moments before collecting his thoughts.
āgod, i canāt believe this is actually happening,ā he whispers.
āi know. itās insane, but itās true. heās just soā¦ human. you should've seen the way he looked at me when i told him i was leaving. i donāt think iāve ever seen anyone look so sad before.āĀ
āwell, youāre right about him needing to make friends,ā he says with a nod, and it validates all of your misgivings about leaving him alone. ābut donāt you think you should, i donāt know, think about what all of this means?āĀ
āwhat do you mean?ā you ask, and in that moment, he knows you have no idea about the way beomgyu probably feels about you. heās not 100% confident in his deductions, but the way you describe how beomgyu acts around you pretty much tells him everything he needs to know.Ā
āi mean, you basically have a completely sentient creature who relies on you for everything. if heās as human as you say he is, then he can probably feel everything that we do. right now, iād guess that he feels like youāre all he knows.ā and the sneaking sense of guilt that was previously threatening to creep up on you is now completely overwhelming. youāre all he knows. and you left him all alone to fend for himself and make his own friends. yes, he needs to learn how to make connections, but how could you expect him to know how to do that? it took weeks for him to finally seem comfortable around you, so how could he possibly know how to make them on his own? moreover, even though it's nothing to you, you're his entire world. he must feel like you abandoned him.
āiāve gotta go,ā you mumble.
āwhat?ā he asks.Ā
āiāiāve gotta go home,ā you repeat as you hurriedly stand up and hug him goodbye.Ā
āwait! i think you should āāĀ
ālove you, bye!ā you shout as you book it out of the doorway.Ā
-
when you return home, you open the door to see beomgyu listlessly staring at the television screen. when he hears you, he turns to look at you with watery eyes. he looks so lost in this moment, and all of your suspicions are confirmed.
ābeoms, i am so sorry,ā you tell him as you rush over and throw your arms around him.Ā
āfor what?ā he asks with a gulp as he stays in your embrace, shakily wrapping his arms around your waist.
āiām sorry for leaving you all by yourself. i thought it was just for one night, so itād be alright, but you donāt have anyone but me right now; and i realize that itās unfair for me to expect you to meet other people all on your own when youāve never had to do it before. if you want friends, iāll help you, okay? iāll be there with you as you do it,ā you tell him, and you feel his body trembling.Ā
āi-iām sorry. i know itās not a big deal, but when youāre not with me, i feel so scared. iā¦ i donāt know how to do anything by myself. iām s-sorry i need you so much,ā he whispers, and your heart breaks.Ā
ādonāt be sorry,ā you say gently. āhow about this: iāll join you online and we can talk to people together. then, when youāre ready, you can start hanging out with my friends in person, too, okay? we can keep going until you donāt need me anymore.ā beomgyu outwardly agrees, which seems to put you at ease, but thereās just one issue: heāll always need you.
-
gaming online is actually really fun, but making friends is hard for someone like beomgyu. heās quiet and a little awkward at first, but after a few nights and with your help, he finally warms up to the people he games with. he gets so comfortable, in fact, that heās even able to shit talk with them a little.Ā
āfuckkk, thatās so unfair!ā his new friend, kai, wails over the headset.Ā
āitās not unfair, you just suck,ā beomgyu chuckles, and kai whines again. you laugh at their interaction before kai continues.
āhow are you so fucking good at this game? youāve only been playing for a few nights, and youāre already better than me!ā he pouts.Ā
āiām just gifted,ā beomgyu boasts.
āvery true,ā you add, and he beams, but kaiās next words throw him off-kilter.
āwhatever. stop asking your girlfriend to argue with me ā you two make me sick,ā he jokes with his signature maniacal laugh, but the two of you are too stunned to laugh along. you look at each other in sheer embarrassment, and you can see beomgyuās ears turning bright pink beneath his blond hair. youāre not sure why you feel so mortified, but you do. this is beomgyu, for godās sake. thereās no earthly way you could ever see him in anything other than a purely platonic way, so why does your heart feel uneasy at the notion? while youāre still too stunned to speak, beomgyu tries to pipe up and respond.
āsh-sheās ā weāre not, uh āāĀ
ādamn it!ā kai yells as his character dies yet again, and any momentum beomgyu previously had to clear up the misunderstanding is killed stone dead in its tracks.Ā
he turns to look at you unsurely, but the awkward moment seems to have passed for you as you laugh at kaiās characterās death. if only he could be as unfazed.
after kai goes offline, you two decide to quit gaming for the night. you turn to beomgyu nervously, and he immediately knows that youāre going to say something serious. he hopes beyond hope that itās not about what kai said.
ācan i ask you something?ā and his heart sinks. oh god, you probably caught onto his feelings. heās not sure he has the confidence to tell the truth, but how could he lie to you?
āy-yes,ā he replies, voice a bit unsteady.
āokay, you can say no if you want, but soobin invited us to a get together heās having pretty soon. itās not anything too crazy, so thereāll only be a few of us. i think itāll be a good start for you. maybe youāll even make some new friends, you know?ā heās silent at your words just out of sheer shock. heād definitely missed the mark when guessing your intentions.Ā
āitās okay to say no,ā you hurriedly add, ābut my friends are really nice, and iād be with you the entire time. even if you donāt talk to anybody, you can talk to me.ā
āokay,ā he agrees before he can even really think about it. he guesses heās just relieved that you still donāt know about his feelings, but part of him aches even still.Ā
āreally?ā you ask incredulously. āoh my god! i have to tell soobin ā heāll be so excited!ā you babble, and his lips curl upwards at how happy you are. he wishes he could always make you happy like this, and it seems that heād agree to absolutely anything if you were the one asking.

work has been especially taxing today, which is nothing new, but you have this insatiable suspicion that something feelsā¦ off as you finish up for the day. as youāre about to head out for the night, you wonder what beomgyu will want to do once you get home. maybe heāll want to play games with kai, or maybe heāll want to watch a movie with you. maybe heāll let you cuddle up to him for warmth, which heās been very willing to do, lately. the unspoken rule that you two will never touch has become blurry for some reason, but youāre pretty touchy with all of your friends, so it only feels like a matter of course to you.Ā
youāre thinking about all of the potential ways tonight could play out when it hits you: you didnāt reserve beomgyu. you spit out a curse and hurriedly take out your phone to book him, but itās too late. heās already assigned to someone for the night. fuck.
when you get home, youāre anxious beyond belief. you havenāt spent a night without beomgyu in months, but more importantly, he hasnāt spent a night without you. you try not to think about how scared he will be when heās powered on in a strangerās home. you hope heās able to just switch back to his initial programming, but somehow, you just know it wonāt be that easy. you feel sick with worry when you think about how someone so human will have to involuntarily turn his feelings off and pretend to enjoy something heās being forced to do ā with no compensation, no less. he must think you abandoned him. he must think you donāt care about him. how could you forget to reserve him when he needs you so much? fuck how busy you were with work, his wellbeing should have been your first priority.
so you sit and watch the hours tick by. you try to relax. you try to tell yourself itās only for one night, and heās been doing it for years, but something just feels wrong, wrong, wrong. youāre about to try to force yourself to go to sleep so the night ends more quickly when you hear a rapid knocking on your door. itās strange for someone to call on you so late, indeed, but when you look through your peephole, you see none other than the very boy youāve been worrying about.Ā
ābeomgyu?ā you say incredulously when you swing open the door. immediately, he embraces you, and you feel hot tears streaming down your neck as he nuzzles his face into it. you hold him as best as you can as you rub circles into his back and try to shush his cries.
āitās okay, iām here,ā you tell him, and he whines. you try to break away to get a good look at him, but he just pulls you in even closer, as if youāre his only lifeline in this world, and in a way, you are.
after his breathing slows and his sobs die out, he reluctantly parts from you, so you hold his hand and lead him to your couch. his eyes are swollen and bloodshot while his nose is a bright pink, but he never once takes his eyes off of you for fear of letting you out of his sight. in his mind, you canāt leave as long as he can see you.
āare you alright?ā you tentatively ask, hand still holding his and soothingly caressing it in an attempt to calm him down. he goes to nod before stopping himself and shaking his head in the negative. your eyes soften even more at the action.
ādo you want to talk about what happened?ā you try, and he nods before clearing his throat.
āi, um, i woke up and i was at this womanās house. sheā¦ she wanted me to get undressed, but i didnāt want to, so she started doing it for me.ā you wince at his words, but heās not finished yet.Ā
āshe kept touching me, and it was so disgusting i just ā i just couldn't stand it, so i ran away and came here. i donāt mean to make your life harder, and i wonāt ask for you to stay the night with me anymore, but if you could just let me stay here, i promise iāll learn how to clean or do anything you want. please, just donāt make me āāĀ
ābeomgyu, stop it,ā you say softly, but firmly. āyou are not making my life harder. you can stay here as much as you want and do whatever you want while youāre here. iām so sorry, i didnāt mean for this to happen. i was just so busy with work, and by the time i realized it, somebody had already booked you. i promise you that itāll never happen again, okay? so you don't have to be afraid. iām not leaving you, and i wonāt let anyone hurt you, either.āĀ
you donāt think youāve ever seen anyone look so relieved before. it looks as though you just saved his life, and to beomgyu, you essentially did. he holds your hand even tighter, as if youāre the only thing keeping him from falling off the face of this planet.Ā
āwait here, iāll get you some clothes,ā you say gently, but as you go to leave, he holds you even tighter. your eyebrow quirks in a silent question at his actions, and he looks sheepish for a moment before saying his next words.
āc-can we just stay like this for a bit? just for a little while? iām still scared,ā he mumbles, and your heart melts.
āof course. come here,ā you beckon, and he falls into your arms and rests his head on your shoulder, breathing your scent in as he tries to imprint this moment into his hardware. you stay like that for a while before you finally convince him to change out of his uncomfortable clothes. he reluctantly lets you go, and his eyes follow you everywhere you walk.Ā
that night, you stay up later than usual to spend more time with him. he stays glued to your side and ensures that heās always touching you in some way, which is endearing in a way you canāt seem to put into words. when youāre about to head to bed for the night, you swear you hear him whimper, but he lets you go, anyway. as you lay your head down and get comfortable under the covers, you hear a timid knocking on your door. you call him in, and his gaze shyly flickers between you and the floor.Ā
āc-can i stay with you tonight? i wonāt bother you, i swear. itās just ā i just still feel weird. y-you can say no! i just thought that āā
ācome here,ā you softly interrupt, and he doesnāt hesitate to listen. he closes the door behind him and shuffles towards you, stopping uncertainly at the edge of the bed in a silent plea for permission to enter it. you feel a weird, warm feeling in your chest when he does it. you scoot over and pat the open space next to you before he gathers enough courage to slide in. you cover him with your blanket, and he stiffly accepts it. you giggle at his awkwardness and cuddle up to him, placing your arms around his waist before thinking better of it. how could you just invade his personal space when heās clearly traumatized? you go to remove your arms and scoot away before he firmly locks you in place.
āitās okay,ā he whispers, settling himself into your embrace and mindlessly toying with the ends of your hair.
āare you sure?ā you ask.
āiām sure.ā
it isn't long before beomgyu hears your breathing slow down, and eventually he hears you begin to snore. he smiles at the sound. he can't really sleep, but he's perfectly content with watching you rest. he continues to play with your hair, and you nuzzle into his touch every so often. he doesnāt want to repeat the events leading up to tonight, but he would do it all over again ā any number of times ā with a smile on his face if it meant he got to be with you like this again.Ā
-
the next morning, beomgyu waits for the usual delivery guy from the company to pick him up, but itās currently way past the usual pickup time. heās most certainly not complaining, but you donāt seem even remotely fazed by the matter. however, while youāre casually flipping through your streaming catalog literal hours after heād already be gone, he canāt stop himself from asking:
āum, d-do you know when iām being picked up?ā you pause, and he worries that he may have said the wrong thing before you turn to him.
ādo you want to be picked up?ā you ask solemnly.
ān-no! of course not. itās just, you know, iād usually be gone by now, so i āāĀ
ādo you want to stay here? with me, i mean,ā you interrupt.
āiā¦ i do,ā he replies with a gulp. usually, thatād be all you get from him, but it feels like the perfect opportunity to be honest about his feelings. āi always want to stay with you, but i know iām expensive, and i donāt want to be a bother.ā he looks ashamed as he admits it, but if he had the courage to look in your eyes, heād note the fondness that lies within them.
āi told you that youāre not a bother to me. i also told you that you could stay here for as long as you want, remember?ā and he does, so he nods.Ā
āalright. i meant it when i said it last night, and i mean it now. if you want to be here, you can stay for as long as youād like. you don't have to worry about your owners anymore, i promise.ā and he thinks heās never seen you as serious as you are now. he wonders what you mean before it dawns on him.
āyouā¦ did you buy me?ā he asks in disbelief.
āy-yeah. iām sorry, it sounds so gross when i hear it out loud, but that doesnāt mean that i own you or anything. what i really wanted to buy was your freedom, so you can stay as long as you want, but that also means that you can leave whenever you want, too.ā
āiām so sorry,ā he says in a hushed, hurried tone. āi know i'm expensive. iām really sorry.ā
āmoney is not an object to me,ā you dismiss in faux arrogance with a wave of your hand in hopes that itāll lighten the mood, but beomgyu canāt stop the tears from falling over his waterlines, and youāre afraid your attempt to help him only made him feel more indebted to you. all worry is promptly washed away when you feel him pull you into his arms.Ā
āthank you,ā he just barely breathes out. āi donāt know how iāll ever pay you back, but iāll try, i swear.ā
āyou donāt have to do anything for me, beoms. i shouldāve done it a lot sooner, but iām just a little slow, i guess,ā you muse, and he chuckles softly into your neck.
-
sleeping with beomgyu shouldāve only happened once, but every night when you say youāre heading to bed, he looks at you with puppy eyes and you find yourself inviting him to come along. each time, he looks so excited that if he had a tail, it would most certainly be wagging. he obediently follows you to your room and settles into the empty space next to you before holding you in his arms as you drift off. heās even taken to humming the tunes of songs he likes when you struggle to settle down, and his baritone voice lulls you to sleep like a charm every time. he spends his time by just looking at you and trying to reconcile with his new reality. this is real. he gets to spend however many nights he wants next to you, as per your own words. even if you didnāt mean them, he plans to take them seriously. he is perfectly content with spending the rest of his life just sleeping with you, looking at you, being with you.Ā
-
soobinās get together is tonight, and you look different than usual. your typical look is very casual, which makes sense because youāre only ever at home when youāre with him, but you are now primped and ready to be seen, and it makes him anxious because you look even more lovable. he knows these people are your friends, so they mustāve seen you dressed up before, but that only makes him all the more uneasy; they know a side of you he is only now seeing, and it makes that same old ugly feeling he's grown so accustomed to sprout in his chest.Ā
when you arrive at soobinās place, the first thing you do when soobin swings open the door is jump in his arms like you didnāt just see him a week ago. he spins you around with a dimpled grin thatās so sincere, beomgyu feels emotionally decimated by it. you both giggle as you break apart, and the jealousy beomgyu feels brewing within feels unpacifiable.Ā
āis this beomgyu?ā soobin asks, grin still very much apparent.
āyes! youāre gonna love him,ā you answer giddily.Ā
āitās nice to meet you,ā soobin says warmly while stretching out his hand, which beomgyu awkwardly shakes while he tries to force his lips to curl upwards in what he prays is a believable smile.
ānice to meet you,ā he mumbles.
āeveryoneās already here, but youāre late as always,ā soobin playfully chastises, and you pout in response.
everyone greets you when you walk in, mostly by hugging you and lightheartedly scolding you for not coming out anymore. theyāre very clearly bantering with you, but each reproach feels like a knife to beomgyuās heart. heās the reason you havenāt seen them in so long.Ā
clueless to it all, you introduce him as your friend to everyone, which only makes him feel worse, somehow. he is just one friend out of many, meanwhile youāre his entire world. youāre far too caught up in the joy of seeing some of your favorite people after so long to notice his dismay, however.
you lead him to soobinās couch to have a seat with you and one of your friends, taehyun maybe, offers him a drink, to which he awkwardly declines. you quickly follow up with something to the effect of āhe isnāt much of a drinker,ā and beomgyu nods in affirmation. you try your best to include beomgyu in conversation, but theyāre all talking about people and places he doesn't know. all he knows is you, and the world you two built together seems smaller and smaller with every new topic of conversation.Ā
he notices that soobin seems to be eyeing him somewhat strangely, though he tries his best to play it off. he could just attribute it to surface level curiosity, but his intuition tells him itās much deeper than that. is soobin sizing up his competition? maybe so, but thereās not much to see. beomgyu is handsome, and he knows it, but soobin knows a side of you beomgyu has only ever heard stories about. youāve told him about your friends and the goings on between you and your coworkers, but it pales in comparison to actually meeting them. he makes an internal note to ask even more questions than he usually does the next time youāre telling him about your day. until then, he sits as close to you as humanly possible and clings onto your arm, which is so second nature to you, you don't even notice that heās doing it.Ā
soobin, who is usually not the inquisitive type, canāt help but question the dynamic between you and beomgyu. at first, the lingering glances and intimate gestures were innocuous enough to be written off as mere friendliness, but when you whisper something in beomgyuās ear and he flushes a bright pink, soobin knows he canāt ignore it any longer. he especially canāt ignore it when you turn away from beomgyu and he raises a hand to the ear you just whispered into as if heās reliving the moment. well, time to test his theory.Ā
soobin slides into the open cushion next to you and begins excitedly chattering about how pretty you look tonight, and he even takes your braided hair into his hands and twirls it between his fingers.
āyour hair looks pretty,ā he muses.
ābeomgyu did it, actually,ā you grin, and soobin glances over to said boy, who is currently glaring daggers at him. the look in beomgyuās eyes is so intense, he almost wants to back off, but he has to get to the bottom of this.Ā
ādid he? you know, itās been a while since you stayed over. wanna have a sleepover tonight? you have some clothes here from last time, and we can cuddle, i know you like that,ā he says as innocently as he possibly can.Ā
before you can even reply, beomgyu is slamming his hands on the coffee table. you turn to face him in surprise, and the look on his face is the angriest youāve ever seen him. his eyes are dark and his nostrils are flared as he heavily breathes. heās never been angry at all in front of you, actually, so to say youāre taken aback is the understatement of the century.Ā
ābeoms? whatās wrong?ā you ask concernedly, completely turning away from soobin. your voice is enough to somewhat placate him, but before he can fully calm down, soobin is saying his next words.
āiām sure heās fine. beomgyu, you can find your way home tonight on your own, canāt you?ā beomgyu is positively seething at this. before you can question him again, heās gripping your hand so tightly itās like itās the only thing keeping him from drowning, so you excuse the both of you and drag him to the bathroom for some privacy.
āare you alright?ā you ask, frantically scanning his figure for some sort of sign of pain or discomfort.Ā
āi-iām fine, i just, uh, i donāt feel good,ā he says flatly.Ā
āwhatās wrong? is it too much? do we need to go home?ā heās so flustered, he barely registers that youāre calling your house āhomeā, but he still notices it in spite of everything, and itās like a balm on his aching heart.Ā
āy-yeah, can we go home? please?ā he pleads, and you hurriedly nod.Ā
āof course, just let me say bye to everyone before we leave, okay?ā and he wants to say no, but heās as weak as ever in front of you, so he relents.
that doesnāt stop him from gripping your hand, though, as you say goodbye to everyone. you go to give soobin your usual hug, but beomgyu pulls you back to him even more tightly. you write it off as him not feeling well and just wanting to leave as soon as possible, to which you oblige, and before you know it, you two are scurrying out of soobinās place like thereās something chasing you.
as youāre driving home, you feel your phone buzz in your pocket, but it isnāt until youāre walking through your doorway that you check it.Ā
soobie: we need to talk. call me as soon as you get home
youāre worried beyond belief at his serious tone, so you tell beomgyu that youāve got to make a call before ducking into your bedroom. you donāt shut the door behind you, because why would you?Ā
you quickly call soobin and the line connects after just one ring.
āwhatās wrong?ā you ask anxiously, and soobin just sighs, which makes you all the more anxious.
āwe have to talk about beomgyu.āĀ
ābeomgyu? what about him? is something wrong?ā you question.
āyeah, i mean, maybe. this might sound crazy, but i think ā i know ā he likes you.ā youāre stunned silly for just a moment before bursting into laughter.
ālikes me? what the hell are you talking about?ā you dismiss, and you sense his agitation even through the phone.
āiām serious. i had a feeling before, but tonight just confirmed it. he likes you.ā youāre silent for a moment, just trying to process his words, but once your mind somewhat clears, you canāt help but deny, deny, deny.
āyouāre wrong. itās not like that at all. iām just the first person whoās ever treated him nicely, and i āāĀ
āyouāre not listening,ā he cuts in irritatedly. āhe looked like he wanted to skin me alive tonight. how else do you explain that?āĀ
āsoobie,ā you sigh. āyouāve got it all wrong. maybe youāre right and maybe he was feeling insecure, but thatās probably because iām the only person he knows. he most likely just felt like you were stealing my attention away.āĀ
āyouāre always so dense about these things, you know?ā he groans. āokay, look, iām not sure how they came about, but i do know that he has feelings for you. maybe it started out as dependence, iām not sure, but itās definitely much more than that now.āĀ
āthatās impossible,ā you snort, actually feeling a bit impatient now. how could he possibly think that your relationship with beomgyu was anything other than platonic?Ā
āwhy? because heās a robot?ā oh, that shuts you up. ājust think about it. if he were a human, would you still be saying the same thing? like i said before, if heās as human as you say he is, he can feel the same way we do, and heās definitely capable of feeling love, too.ā you are, again, stunned into silence. suddenly, as if there was a fog that covered your brain before, things that you never really considered become clear to you. the soft touches, the gentleness. sleeping in the same bed and waiting for you to get home. wanting you ā needing you ā around all the time. the way he plays with your hair. the way heās so interested in everything you have to say. the clinginess, the dependence. it all makes so much more sense to you.Ā
āi āā you begin, but you just so happen to glance up and see beomgyu right outside of your doorwayā¦ looking absolutely devastated.Ā
āiāve gotta go,ā you tell soobin as you hang up, not even bothering to say your usual goodbye.Ā
ābeoms, did you hear us?ā you ask tentatively, and he flinches a little bit before looking down at the floor and nodding.
youāre unsure of how to navigate this situation from here, but while youāre still trying to figure it out, beomgyu speaks.
āi-iām so sorry,ā he says hurriedly. āi understand if you donāt want me anymore.āĀ
āw-what? no, i āāĀ
āiām just really sorry,ā he says, looking as ashamed as a person ever could. āi know itās wrong, i know itās disgusting, but i āāĀ
ābeomgyu.āĀ
ābut i canāt help it. i wish i could, but i just canāt; and i understand if you want to return me or whatever, but if you could just āāĀ
ābeomgyu, stop it,āĀ you interrupt firmly, no room for argument. he stares at you with defeated eyes, and you feel your heart break in two. āi am not disgusted, and i donāt want to return you.ā his eyebrows furrow as if he doesn't quite understand, so you continue.Ā
āyour feelings are not disgusting to me, donāt ever say that again, okay? please? it makes me sad,ā you plead, and he hesitantly nods. āi think itās normal, actually. you donāt really know anybody else other than me, so of course youāre confused.āĀ
āconfused?ā he asks incredulously, eyes snapping up to meet yours.
āconfused,ā you nod. āit'll change once you meet more people, i swear.ā you try to smile reassuringly, but suddenly, you see tears welling up in beomgyuās eyes.Ā
ābeoms?ā you carefully try.
āi don't need to meet more people. i just need you,ā he chokes out. ādon't tell me i'm confused because i'm not. i-i'd rather you just say you don't want to be with me than tell me that.ā your heart clenches at his words, but he continues.Ā
āi just want to be with you, no one else,ā he tells you desperately. āi can understand if you don't feel the same way, but i can't stand to hear you say i donāt love you, because i do. i really, really do.ā and as if you're dissociating, your mind is bombarded by times where he's shown you this exact sentiment. again, you go back to every intimate moment you two have ever shared. it was easy to just chalk it up to his lack of experience, but when he's telling you that's not the case so earnestly, is it truly possible to still believe itās nothing? after a while, you decide that it most certainly is not.Ā
the question is: do you feel the same way? you try to put a name to the feelings you have when youāre with him. the trust you have, the understanding. the desire to share everything you know and like with him, no matter how mundane it may seem to others; and consequently, the endearment towards him when you see how eager he is to listen. more than that, the intimacy between you two. how you like waking up to him smiling down at you, and how when something happens, heās the first one you want to tell, good or bad. how when you listen to new music, you feel excited at the prospect of sharing it with him.Ā
you realize you want to know more about him, the happy things and even the sad things. why he is the way that he is, why he thinks the way he thinks. the peace you feel when heās running his fingers through your hair and holding you close when you watch the same film for the dozenth time. you try to picture a world where somebody else rented him. a world in which somebody else got to see him as soon as they wake up or as soon as they get home from a particularly grueling day at work, and you finally understand that you wouldnāt like that at all. but why? youāve only ever thought of him as a friend, right? so why does it matter to you?Ā
your eyes focus on beomgyu again, and you notice how utterly defeated he looks. his heart is on full display for you ā and you alone ā as tears stream freely down his pretty, doll-like face. are these tears just for you? you think so. is it safe to trust that these feelings he has for you are real? youāre not sure, but you want to. still, thereās something stopping you.
āi thinkā¦ i think i feel the same way,ā you admit, and his previously downtrodden appearance immediately lights up with hope. ābut we shouldnāt.ā and the words are like lead in your mouth.Ā
āwhy not?ā he asks, clearly distressed. you just gave him an inch, and heāll be damned if he doesnāt take a mile. he never in a million years would have thought that youād ever reciprocate his feelings, so he canāt just let them go so easily.
āi justā¦ itās just not something that i can āāĀ
āis it because iām an android?ā he questions, voice teeming with self-loathing.Ā
ān-no! i mean, weāre just so different,ā you tell him, trying to skirt around the topic as best as you possibly can, but he wonāt have it.
āwhatever it is, iāll change it. please? i can do anything,ā he pleads.Ā
āitās not like that. i want to, but we can't. i-i'll get older. i won't look the same ā i won't be the same,ā and itās embarrassing as hell to admit it out loud, but you mean it. beomgyuās urgent gaze softens, and he inches closer to you before heās standing before you. he reaches out to gently cup your face and tenderly pushes your hair behind your ears.
āand what about me?āĀ
āwhat about you?ā you scoff, but you don't pull away from his touch, though your eyes do dart away. āyouāll still be you, and iāll be old and āāĀ
āwhat about when my parts start creaking? what about when i donāt remember things like iām supposed to? youāll still love me then, right?ā he asks, but he already knows, and your eyes snap back to his.
āth-thatās different. you can get repairs. i canāt āāĀ
āthen i wonāt. youāll get old and gray and iāll get rundown and out-of-date. i donāt care what happens, as long as iām with you.ā youāre silent in the wake of his heavy words, so he quickly continues.
āyou told me that when you love somebody, youād do anything to be with them. you said you always find a way, and i want to find a way to be with you.ā your heart simultaneously warms and aches at this sentiment.Ā
you consider what it would be like to be with him. things would be difficult, yes, but not impossible. maybe youāll come to regret it someday, but you donāt want to think about that right now. you feel like the luckiest girl in the world when you think of the fact that somebody so beautiful, inside and out, wants to be with you. you don't think youāve done anything particularly special for him, but he still wants and accepts you for everything that you are and ever will be.
āokay,ā you say shakily, and you finally recognize that his hands are still very much cupping your face, fingers lovingly rubbing against your cheeks. he smiles in pure relief at your answer, but he makes no move to break away his hold on you.Ā
you notice how his gaze flicks between your eyes and your lips, and you decide you'll have mercy on him as you lean up to him and press a chaste kiss on his pouty lips before parting. heās visibly red at the action, and you grin at how flustered he looks. on beomgyuās end, he feels another bloom of excitement and swell of hope threatening to overcome him. when he looks at the playfulness in your eyes, he smiles even wider.Ā
āi love you,ā he whispers affectionately.
you pause before you tell him:
āi love you, too, beoms.ā
-
that night, beomgyu is even clingier than usual. he sticks like gum to your side. when you head to sleep, he eagerly nestles in your bed and holds his arms wide open. you follow his lead and settle into his warm embrace. he sings you one of his favorite songs youāve ever shown him. the last words you hear before you sink into sleep are:
āto die by your side
is such a heavenly way to die
to die by your side, well
the pleasure, the privilege is mineā

you and beomgyu have been ātogetherā for a few weeks now, so the relationship is still very new. surprisingly or not, things seem more or less the same. you guess you never realized just how intimate you two have always been until you put a label on things. the only tangible differences are that instead of just a mere hug when he greets you, he plants kisses all over your face before finding his ways to your lips. and when youāre watching movies or even just talking, heāll steal a kiss or two. and when you head to bed, you know you can expect him to catch your lips like a man starved before you sleep. things get heated, sometimes, but they never lead to anything besides labored breaths and promises to calm himself down. you take his hesitancy as him wanting to take it slow and treasure your first time together, and you realize he still may be traumatized from the years he spent as a sexbot.Ā
you have apologized to him for telling soobin his secret. you let him know your reasoning for telling him, and he accepted your apology quite graciously. honestly? he was never mad, and he tells you that very clearly, but you still feel somewhat guilty even when he says he understands. your guilt is only absolved when he says heās thankful you told soobin because things may have never changed without his wise input. he says that heās grateful to soobin for being a voice of reason in the face of your emotional density. you blushed when he told you this, and apologized for being so slow on the uptake, but he just assured you that he wouldnāt have you any other way, which made you love him even more, somehow.Ā
youāre now about to go to soobinās again for another get together with your friends. second timeās the charm, you cheekily told him when you brought it up, and he blushed in response. when you two walk through the doorway, everyone cheers. you greet everyone as usual, and beomgyu tries his best to keep his searing jealousy at bay, but his anxiety starts clawing at him as soobin seats himself next to you and asks you how you are.Ā
you giggle and tell him youāre doing well, and he responds by updating you on his tumultuous work life. beomgyu immediately wonders why you havenāt told soobin about your new relationship. are you embarrassed to be seen with him? itās not like he doesnāt understand, what with him technically being made out of wires and machinery. of course a human like you wouldnāt want to be seen with a metal man like him. you could have the entire world in your hands if you wanted, so whatās the point of playing pretend with a fake like him? maybe, if he were you, heād be embarrassed, too. he likes to think that maybe you arenāt like that, but at the end of the day, how could you not be? heās nothing more than a robot masquerading as the real thing.Ā
his anxiety worsens the more in depth your conversation with soobin gets. you try to include him by briefly giving him context about the stories soobin tells, but he canāt stop himself from worrying. again, he feels like soobin is stealing you away from him, and his mood sours.Ā
your other friends try to talk to him, too, but heās very obviously in a bad mood as he watches you two continue to laugh together. when you finally do turn to beomgyu, you immediately notice how awful he looks.Ā
ābeoms? are you alright?ā you ask gingerly, but beomgyuās discomfort is not at all placated even at the term of endearment.Ā
āām fine,ā he mumbles, and youāre genuinely in shock at his change of attitude. soobin looks very concerned, but he excuses himself to get a drink so you two can work it out, though he has an inkling of an idea of whatās triggering beomgyu.Ā
āwhatās wrong with you?ā you ask concernedly, but he shakes his head sulkily.
ādo you wanna go home?ā you offer, and he immediately nods. you look torn for a second, but when you see how sad he looks, you know you canāt deny him.
you say your goodbyes to your friends and apologize for leaving early, but everyone says they understand. soobin makes you promise to host the next get together, though, to which you happily agree.Ā
the ride home is mostly silent, but you look over to beomgyu in concern every so often. you grab his hand and squeeze it in a way you hope is comforting, but he doesnāt look any better at all.
when you enter your house, you immediately head to your bedroom, and he follows you in silence. you sit on the bed and pat the space next to you.Ā
ābeoms, whatās the matter?ā you ask pleadingly as you grab his hands, and his heart, which was previously aching, is (a little) soothed by your concern.Ā
āi-itās nothing,ā he answers, but you can tell that heās lying because of the way he refuses to make eye contact with you.Ā
ābaby, i canāt help you if you wonāt tell me whatās wrong,ā you say. youāre right, and he knows youāre right, but youāre already doing him the favor of a lifetime just by deigning to be with him. how could he dare to ask for more? heās ashamed at the thought, but you look so sincere, and he knows in his metaphorical heart that he needs to be able to communicate with you if you two are going to have any shot at a lasting relationship.
āi-iām just j-jealous,ā he sputters.Ā
āoh, baby, why?ā you ask.Ā
ābecause iām not like you,ā he admits after a pause. āi already feel like iām not good enough for you, so seeing you with someone who actually is makes me feel awful.ā
āwho? soobin?ā and youāre absolutely petrified when he sheepishly nods.Ā
āhoney, itās not like that at all,ā you tell him. āweāre just friends, i promise.āĀ
ābut it would be so much easier to be with him. you wouldnāt have to be ashamed about telling everyone youāre with an android,ā he argues.Ā
ābeomgyu, i am not ashamed of you. i just wasnāt sure if you felt comfortable with me telling everyone. if you want me to tell them, iāll happily do it. youāre so good, how could i ever be embarrassed of you?ā his eyes soften.
ādo you mean it?ā he asks, and you nod.Ā
ādo i not show it enough? how much i love you, i mean.ā he furiously shakes his head no, but you know itās a lie. beomgyu himself will admit that he needs more validation than most people, and itās going to take him a while to ever get over it because of his own issues. that doesnāt mean you canāt try to help him, though, so you brush his cheek with your hands before wrapping your arms around his neck and pulling him in for a kiss.Ā
ādoes this make you feel better?ā you ask after you pull away, but he still looks somewhat depressed, so you pull him in again before pressing your lips against his. this time, you swipe your tongue on his pout, which makes him gasp. you tease your tongue against his and electricity thrums between you two when you do it. he reciprocates your enthusiasm immediately, and before long, youāre both sucking and teasing each other until youāre out of breath.
you pull away again and rest your forehead against his.Ā
ābetter?ā you question.
āa little,ā he says. ām-maybe a little more?ā you grin at his coquettishness, and you go in for another kiss. your tongues tangle, but you donāt stop there. your mouth travels, peppering kisses down his jaw to his sensitive neck. he shivers at the contact when you swipe your tongue over his unmarred skin before lightly sucking. he lets out a broken moan when you do it, and it reverberates throughout your entire body and straight to your core.Ā
ābetter?ā you ask again.
ām-more,ā he pants.Ā
āanything you want, baby,ā you tease before your lips hungrily capture his. one of your hands snakes its way up his shirt, and he gasps when you roll his hardened nipple between your fingers. beomgyu is more sensitive than most people, as is the nature of his model, so every little touch drives him crazy.Ā
you seem to have noticed this, so when your other hand palms his hardened length through his sweatpants and he almost screams, you have to bite back a giggle.Ā
ād-donāt tease,ā he begs, and youād do anything for beomgyu, really, but not this time.
you palm him even more harshly and his breath catches in his throat.Ā
āmore?ā you ask, and he fervently nods. you oblige, sliding your hand under his waistband and teasing the sensitive skin around his length. your fingers brush against it every so often, and he involuntarily bucks every time you do.Ā
āc-can i touch you?ā he practically implores.
āof course, my love,ā you tell him as you remove your devious hands and pull your top off before unclipping your bra.Ā
his mouth waters when he sees you, and you can see him gulp almost comically as his big hands meet your breasts. he copies your movement from earlier, rolling your sensitive buds between his very clearly experienced fingers. you let out a contented sigh at the action, but you wonāt let this be all about you, so your hand sneaks it way back down his pants. this time, you grab his girthy cock and give it a harsh tug. his actions stutter, and you smirk devilishly at how fucked out he is when the fun part hasnāt even begun.Ā
you pull at his waistband, and he eagerly tugs his pants and boxers off as soon you do it. he even goes as far as to tear his t-shirt off over his head before he pulls your half-naked body flush against his, falling onto the bed as he desperately kisses you for everything that youāre worth. eventually, he situates himself on top of you, rutting his thick, long cock onto your still clothed thigh. you didnāt really get a chance to get a good look at him before, but youāre able to look down at him now, and you realize his dick is gorgeous. just like every other part of him. it stands tall, blushing profusely at the tip and practically weeping precum. itās a bit hooked, too, no doubt to elicit the most pleasure out of his clients. your pussy is drenched just thinking about how itāll feel when itās inside of you.
he almost rips your bottoms off of you and his mouth waters even more at the sight of your pussy, all slick and glistening in anticipation for whatās to come.Ā
āso gorgeous,ā he whispers as he prepares to lay himself between your legs, but you hook them around his waist before he can do so. tonight will be all about him, youāve decided, so you tug him closer and put one of his pretty nipples in your mouth, swirling your tongue on it and occasionally nipping at the sensitive skin. your other hand continues to tweak the other one before you alternate between the two, causing him to let out a low, guttural groan.Ā
eventually, he goes in for another kiss, all tongue and teeth and saliva, and you take one of your hands and harshly clench around the base of his throbbing cock.Ā
āis this what you needed, beoms?ā you tease, and he nods pathetically as you tug again, harder this time, and let your hands stroke all the way up to his reddened tip. your thumb glides over his slit, and heās seeing stars.Ā
āi donāt know why youāre so jealous of someone else, my love. youāre so perfect,ā you praise, and his ears get even redder, somehow, in spite of the situation youāre both in.
āi ā nghh ā i donāt like when youāre with him,ā he pants, in spite of everything you're doing to him. āonly want you with me.ā
āoh, baby, you have me,ā you coo. āalways.ā and with that, you begin to feverishly jerk him off with one hand while the other returns to his nipple. his hips buck with every movement, and his eyes are screwed shut. you can tell heās about to come before you completely take your hands off of him.Ā
ān-no! w-why?ā he asks with a crack in his voice, watery eyes shooting open at the sudden action.
ādonāt you wanna come in my pussy, instead? itās warmer and wetter than my hand,ā you ask with faux innocence with a tilt of your head, and his previously aggrieved demeanor morphs back into pure lust.Ā
āthatās what i thought,ā you giggle as you grab his length and rub it against your slickness. he groans at the feeling, but you donāt immediately take him in, opting to instead roll your hips up, just barely letting his flared head catch against your entrance.Ā
ābaby, please,ā he whines, and with a smirk, you finally wrap your legs around his waist and line him up with your entrance. you just barely take the tip in, easing it into your pussy, before you force him out again. he gasps raggedly at how tight you are, and heās wound up so much, he feels like heās on the brink of exploding. heās about to take matters into his own hands before you guide him back inside of you, and he feels your walls struggling to accommodate him.Ā
ās-so tight! h-how are you so tight?ā he hisses, eyes reddened and face strained, but youāre far too busy with the euphoric feeling of him finally inside of you to reply. he eases in inch after throbbing inch, and it is a snug fit, indeed. he almost wonders if heāll even fit, but though the stretch burns you, the pleasure is too great to ignore. finally, your walls slightly relax, and heās able to completely sheath himself in you. you both moan as his tip pulsates against your cervix, and he considerately gives you time to adjust, walls contracting wildly around him, before he attempts to pull out and really begin.Ā
āstop,ā you command before he can do so, and his eyes fill with worry at your words.Ā
āw-whatās wrong?ā he stutters.Ā
āoh, nothing,ā you say between pants. āi just want to see how long you can last.āĀ
āw-what do you āā
and you interrupt him with a kiss. he ravenously reciprocates it, and he canāt help but unconsciously thrust his hips, tapping deliciously on the deepest parts of you, but you prevent him from ever fully pulling out. you tangle one of your hands through his hair and grip it ā not hard enough to hurt, but enough to make him groan into your mouth.Ā
āc-can i move?ā he pleads, but you shake your head no.Ā
āwhy?ā he whimpers, but you just smirk as you kiss him again and bite his bottom lip.Ā
he doesnāt know how long you two stay like that, but itās far too long for his liking. he feels his dick swell, and you still refuse to let him move, but you teasingly scrape your fingers against his balls and itās all he can do not to come.Ā
āp-please let me move, it hurts,ā he cries, tears now flowing from his eyes. for once, sex is all about beomgyu and what feels good to him. he could cry just from the sentiment alone, but his current tears are the direct result of how youāre teasing him.
āand where does it hurt, baby? use your words, i know you can.āĀ
āh-hurts, my c-cock hurts,ā he sputters out.Ā
āand would pounding my pussy make you feel better?ā you goad, and he whines even louder at the imagery.Ā
āy-yes,ā he sobs, and you smile as you say your next words.
āsuch a good boy. you can move.ā and thatās all it takes, really, before heās pulling out despite your cuntās attempts to suck him back in, and ramming himself back inside of you again and again.
the curve of his cock hits places previously untouched, and your walls spasm around him at the sensation.
ādoes it feel good, beoms?āĀ
ās-so good,ā he mumbles as drool pools off of his tongue and out of his mouth, eyes rolling to the back of his head. āso warm and t-tight.ā you clench against your will at his filthy words, and it makes a strangled cry leave his throat.Ā
āpussy so good, baby. your pussy is the b-best,ā he babbles, and your lips meet his again before your mouth travels down, sucking a blooming hickey onto his neck. he trembles at the pain that comes with the pleasure, but somehow, he still has the presence of mind to roll his skilled fingers against your clit. just a few touches, and you already feel your orgasm approaching. he can feel every spasm of yours, and it makes his dick twitch inside of you as he wildly fucks you open.Ā
heās drilling into you so hard, you have to dig your fingernails into the skin of his back to keep yourself grounded. with each thrust, you feel more and more like youāre about to burst.Ā
āgonna come!ā you whine.Ā
ādo it, baby. c-come all over my cock,ā he pleads.
ācome inside? want it so bad,ā you mewl.
āof course, my angel. a-anything for you,ā he tells you as he tenderly brushes your hair out of your sweaty face, and he hammers himself into you at an inhuman pace as you feel the pressure in you crescendo into a searing hot orgasm. you clench even tighter around him while you come, gripping him so forcefully he can barely pull out, so his thrusts become sloppy and uncoordinated before he rams himself into you one last time and paints your inner walls with his cum.
you two stay like that for a while, just panting and basking in the feeling of closeness you feel. he presses a kiss on your forehead as he relaxes his arms and lays on top of you. you giggle at the intimacy and he finds himself sharing your laughter, your joy.Ā
āyouāre so beautiful,ā he says between breaths, nuzzling his face into your neck and sighing. āi love you.ā
āi love you, too, beoms,ā you tell him, and you do love him. unconditionally.

a neurodivergent spoonie's guide to having teeth
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This blog is for educational and informational purposes only. This does not constitute providing medical advice or professional services. Information on this blog should NOT be used for diagnostics or treating a health problem. Always seek the advice of your doctor or other qualified dental health provider regarding diagnosis and treatment of a dental condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this blog.
this is as close to a comprehensive guide to dental care as i can make. i'm autistic/adhd/ocd/chronically ill and i've worked in dentistry for several years. i want to use my knowledge to help other spoonies struggling with dental care. i know it can be really hard, but dental health is so important and we deserve healthy mouths just as much as NT/abled folks!!
being neurodivergent and/or chronically ill can make personal care tasks incredibly difficult. so many of us struggle with washing our hair, getting dressed, and cleaning up. but remember: hair will grow back if it's damaged, clothes can be washed when they smell bad, and a dirty house can be made clean again, but we only have one set of teeth to last our whole lives. those pearly whites are worth taking care of!
these tips are based on feedback/questions i've gotten from ND folks on tumblr and facebook, patients at the practices i've worked in, and my own experience. standard disclaimer that this information will not be applicable to every single person, just take what works for you and pass the rest on to the next person. i am also a resource for further information. this is going to be pretty rapidfire, so if you want me to elaborate on anything or have a question about something i didn't address in this post, my askbox is open and anon is enabled. i love talking about teeth and i would love to help my fellow spoonies take care of theirs!
without further ado:
on homecare:
any dental professional will tell you that having good oral health starts at home. taking care of our teeth can be incredibly difficult when our spoons are low, so i've made a list of strategies to make it easier.
best practice is to brush twice per day and floss once per day. this may not be realistic for those of us who struggle with habits and/or executive dysfunction. if you can only remember to brush once per day, brushing at night is the most important.
the ideal order of operations is floss, tongue scrape, mouthwash, then brush. but flossing and brushing are the most important steps in the routine.
brushing your teeth in the shower is perfectly acceptable! personally, i keep one toothbrush in the shower and one on the sink to maximize my opportunities to brush.
if you don't have the energy to floss, a toothbrush with fine bristles like this one is a good compromise.
you should replace your toothbrush or electric brush head every three months. the bristles get worn down and become less effective over time. set a recurring event on your phone calendar to keep track!
if you find it difficult to brush your teeth at all, use a washcloth to gently scrub your teeth until you feel that you've gotten the film off, then use a fluoride mouthwash. they also make single-use waterless toothbrushes like these. i like to keep them on my nightstand for really bad days when i can't even get myself to the bathroom to brush.
this is an excellent guide on proper brushing technique.
an electric toothbrush is an excellent investment. even a cheap one at the grocery store is a huge step above a manual toothbrush. personally, i love quip because they're more affordable than brands like sonicare, and they send you replacement brush heads on a regular basis.
be careful not to brush too aggressively; your brush should glide gently over the surface of your teeth. if you feel a lot of friction, lighten your pressure. brushing too hard can wear away your enamel and damage your gums.
if the mint flavor in toothpaste triggers sensory discomfort, try kids' toothpaste! it has less fluoride than adult toothpaste, but it's still miles better than not brushing at all.
mouthwash is used to neutralize bacteria on soft tissues. use an antibacterial or fluoride mouthwash for healthy gums and strong enamel. listerine original is the best, but they have lots of varieties including gum health, alcohol-free, and many more.
whenever possible, use a straw to drink soda or coffee so it doesn't touch your teeth, and rinse with water after you drink it. try to not sip sugary drinks throughout the day. switching to sugar-free beverages will make a huge difference in cavity prevention.
if you have any gaps between teeth, an interdental brush will help you keep the areas between those teeth clean and prevent decay.
i like to keep a package of floss picks in the living room so that i can floss while i watch tv. the best time to floss is right before you brush your teeth, but there is no bad time to floss.
this video shows proper flossing technique. this video shows proper technique when using floss picks.
dry mouth is a lesser-known cause of cavities. saliva protects your teeth from decay, so when you don't produce enough of it, you're at higher risk. dry mouth rinses like this one are a great defense against this!
remember, something is always better than nothing. brushing once a day is better than not brushing at all. flossing once a week is better than not flossing at all. be gentle with yourself.
on finding a dental provider:
finding a new provider and making an appointment can be confusing and overwhelming when we have low executive function. there are some ways to make it just a bit easier.
if you have insurance, they likely have a tool on their website to find providers in your network. you can usually find this information on your insurance card. this should narrow down your options considerably.
the absolute best thing you can do is find a supportive provider who you can open up to about your struggles with dental care. look up your options on google reviews and ctrl+f "anxiety". if these anxious patients have a good experience, it's more likely you will too.
you can ask for recommendations in your local community's facebook group or subreddit, both of which offer anonymity. specify your needs in your post. chances are, other people in your community have similar needs, and can help you find the right people to meet those needs.
a few people expressed that they avoid the dentist because of a family history of poor dental health, and the fear of having the same problems. i want to assure you that, while dental health does have a genetic component, it is far from the only factor. the most effective thing you can do to prevent dental issues is to go in for regular maintenance. prevention is the gold standard in dentistry.
a lot of us struggle with making phone calls. luckily, it's becoming increasingly common for practices to allow online booking and communication via email. look for these options on a practice's website!
if fear or executive dysfunction is getting in your way, phone a friend for help. sometimes things that are hard for us aren't as difficult for others. maybe your roommate can call the office for you. maybe your sister can drive you to your appointment. don't be afraid to lean on your village.
in the dental office:
a big issue with dental offices is that they are basically a sensory nightmare. while it's never going to be fully comfortable, there are some things you can do to make your experience more tolerable.
be open and honest with your dental providers. if you smoke, tell them (this includes cannabis; they cannot report you for cannabis use even if you're not in a legal state). if you've never flossed before, tell them. their job is to help you, not shame you. if a provider makes you feel ashamed, stop seeing them.
so many people have mentioned they're embarrassed about their anxiety and sensory struggles in the dental office. let me assure you that your providers see so many anxious patients every single day. they're used to it, and they're not going to be judging you. to help illustrate this, i'm going to cite some examples of patients from my practice and the ways we help them manage their anxiety and sensory struggles.
probably the most common concern among patients in our practice is a fear of the numbing injection. i have a pretty severe phobia of needles myself. our dental assistants are well-trained to manage this fear. they distract patients during the shot, and help them breathe through the anxiety before and after. this training is part of the dental assistant certification process, so it should be relatively universal.
you can bring a comfort item with you. be it a stuffed animal, a video game, a book, even a comforting person who can sit with you.
you know that lead vest that they lay on you when they take xrays? you can ask to wear that during your whole visit. it acts like a weighted blanket and it feels so nice and comforting. we have a few patients who do this at my practice.
headphones or earplugs are a lifesaver to drown out all the horrible sounds. i literally refuse to get a cleaning without them. there's even a hygienist at my practice that wears earplugs while she's working because the sound of the cavitron bothers her. there's no shame in it whatsoever.
if your practice offers it, nitrous oxide is a great option for anxiety. most people know it as laughing gas. it puts you in a dreamlike state so you're more or less unaware of what's going on. no joke, this stuff had me so relaxed i fully fell asleep while getting a root canal. you can even get it when you get your cleanings!
a lot of our patients request a specific doctor, dental assistant, and hygienist for their appointments. this is incredibly common. if you find someone that makes you feel safe, let the scheduling staff know that you'd like to see that person each time you come in.
dress comfy. there's no dress code for the dental office; show up in sweatpants if you want.
remember at the end of the day, your dental providers are not there to judge you if you don't have perfect homecare. their ultimate goal is to get your mouth healthy no matter your starting place. i can't speak for every dentist obviously, but the dentists at my practice are incredibly patient and sympathetic and have nothing but their patients' best interests in mind.
again: if you feel disrespected or shamed by your provider, find a new one who will be compassionate with you. you don't owe any provider loyalty, even if you've been going there since you were a toddler.
on recovery:
one of the hardest things to do is build healthy habits when you're starting from an unhealthy place. if you're dealing with poor dental health, getting your mouth healthy again can seem impossibly daunting. i'm here to tell you it is possible, but it takes work.
it starts in the dental chair. your provider should communicate what treatment is the highest priority, and they will start there. rather than overwhelming yourself with the big picture, focus your attention on the next step.
things like root canals, crowns, and periodontal treatment can be very expensive. unfortunately, in the united states at least, dental insurance is quite lacking across the board. if expenses are a concern, dental schools are a great option for having treatment done at a low cost. keep in mind that treatment will often take significantly longer due to the dentists being supervised students.
my job in the practice is treatment coordinator. this means that i work one-on-one with my patients to help them understand their treatment plans and make the process as easy and comfortable as possible for them. ask your practice if they have a treatment coordinator. if they don't, suggest that they create the role, and reach out to me here. my dream is to be able to help people manage their oral health. i will be a resource to anyone that doesn't have a treatment coordinator available to help you navigate your course of treatment.
any restorative work (fillings, crowns, etc.) that you have done has to be cared for, just like virgin teeth. cavities can still form underneath fillings and crowns. make sure you are keeping your regular hygiene appointments, and use the above strategies to effectively care for your restorations at home.
if you have a lot of treatment to work through, it may take a long time. we have patients that have spent 2-3 years working through their treatment plans with us. this can feel daunting and depressing. but remember, it's not forever. the majority of these patients who continue to see us for regular visits only have 1-2 new cavities at a time, if anything, once we finish their initial work.
there are very few dental problems that cannot be fixed. cavities can be filled, crowns placed, root canals done to save teeth that are severely decayed. gum disease cannot be cured, but it can be very effectively managed. i see patients all the time that come in expecting to lose all their teeth and need dentures, only to be relieved when we tell them only a few teeth are truly not restorable.
my job revolves around patient education, and it's always shocking to me how little we are taught about caring for our teeth. please be kind to yourselves; it is NOT your fault for not knowing or having the resources to take care of them yourself. once again, my askbox is open and anon is enabled if you have more questions after reading this guide.

Didn't Seem so Bad
|| Jinx x fem!reader
|| Warnings; reader has a fear of nightmares, Jinx being touch starved and wary of touch, Jinx softens for reader
|| Summary; when up late with Jinx one night, reader debates asking her for cuddles.
Requests closed!

HurtCember2024; Day 6, Touch-Starved
Author Note; posting early again!
~~~
It was late one night. Jinx was up and working on whatever invention she was. You were sprawled across her couch, half asleep. You couldn't sleep though, because you didn't want to do it alone. You've been struggling with nightmares lately but have been too embarrassed to ask for help. So, Jinx didn't know. Plus, with your relationship still being new Jinx hadn't fully learnt how to read you yet. Otherwise she may have picked up on it by now without you having to say anything. You forced yourself up. Looking to your girlfriend, having an internal debate in your head. Should you go over? Ask for cuddles? You've been nervous about touching Jinx, knowing that anything could set the girl off. You weren't even sure if touch was something that Jinx wanted. If it was, she made no effort to show that to you.
"Jinx..?" No response, you should've guessed. She had a tendency to get completely sucked into her music and work. Forgetting the surroundings around her. Honestly, if you didn't know any better you'd have thought she'd forgotten you were even there. Slowly, carefully. You walked up to Jinx. Hesitant at first. Then your hand rested to her shoulder. Jinx immediately flinched, as though startled. Not by you, but by the feeling of your hand. She pulled herself away. Looking at you for a moment with startled eyes before focusing on her work again. Trying to ignore the feeling that had given her. She didn't need it.
"Don't do that," Jinx grumbled. Her finger trying to squeeze between a section of her invention. She'd dropped a bit in there while putting it on. Now it was stuck.. and so was her finger. Jinx grimaced when she realized, struggling to get it out. Muttering curses to herself. It didn't take a genius to realize what had happened. You chuckled a bit, hands wrapping around the weapon carefully. Eyes going to Jinx's in a silent permission. When she nodded, you yanked. The weapon slid off.
Jinx's finger was red around where it got caught, hurting a bit more than she cared to admit. You cupped her hands in your own, sitting yourself on her workbench. Inspecting her finger. Jinx's breath seemed to get caught in her throat. She wasn't used to being touched, it caught her off guard. She wasn't even sure if she liked it. But with you.. well, it didn't seem so bad to her. To say the least, the girl was touch starved.
"I think you're finger's alright. We don't gotta chop it off, at any rate," you teased. Earning an eye roll from Jinx that made you smirk. You fought back a yawn, though it slipped through. You were tired. Jinx was starting to notice.
She narrowed her eyes to get a better look, seeing the bags under your eyes. She knew that look all too well. After all, Jinx had seen it on herself many times. She frowned and hesitated, but then held her arms out to you," ..come here."
You didn't waste a second. Getting into her lap. Jinx grunted and tensed up, though she relaxed after a moment. Holding you close to her. Yeah, Jinx was alright with touch. As long as it was you who touched her. Her fingers idly played with your hair, her eyes looking to yours," is there a reason you haven't slept? Or are you just staying up to annoy me?"
A huff left you, Jinx smirked a bit. Your face buried itself into the crook of her neck, mumbling something that she couldn't quite catch. She pinched the side of your hip, making you jump," what?" Jinx asked. Needing you to repeat. You grumbled again, but clearer.
"I keep getting nightmares," you admitted. Jinx's expression softened at that. Nightmares... huh? Those were hard. She understood. Almost any time she tried to sleep. It was often the same nightmare. The memory that she relived. Jinx avoided sleep, too. She was sympathetic for you, though she would never be caught admitting that out loud.
"Nightmares? Care to.. elaborate?" Jinx asked. Her curiosity getting the better of her. In her eyes, you'd always seemed brave. Like you weren't afraid of anything. You weren't afraid of her, unlike most people. To know you had nightmares too... well, it made you a little more human. Someone she could relate to.
You told her about the nightmares you'd been getting, how they'd gotten so bad you were avoiding sleep. It wasn't that you didn't want to sleep. You really, really did. You just didn't trust your mind. And you told her all about that while she played with your hair. Jinx tried listening to your every word, but it was hard for her. Jinx was working on that, though.
"Could you, maybe.. cuddle me tonight?" You asked carefully. Feeling as Jinx got tense under you again. Cuddle you? She didn't know how to feel about that. Jinx was quiet for a long moment, before she spoke up.
"Fine," Jinx sighed, pointing a finger at you," you better not be a squirmer or I'm kicking you out."
Ironically enough, you quickly learnt that she was the squirmer. You didn't mind. And honestly, it was the best sleep you'd gotten in a month.

About how men rape women with āconsentā
This post is not mine, but one radfem woman from our community. She works as a sexologist and shared her experience in her work. If you too are a sexologist, or even better, have some statistics on this topic, please share your experiences or links. ---------------------------------------------------------- "When I first started working, I discovered that many men had never experienced the need to refuse intimacy with a regular partner. That is, a man in counseling complains that his partner often refuses him, he attributes her refusals to personal dislike and faded feelings, and when he tries to turn the situation around and remember when he himself had to refuse her, he does not understand what we are talking about. Because he has never had to - he responds to the initiative of his partner every time and considers it a sign of love and attraction on his part.
I heard this very often, I couldn't catch the lie and at the same time I couldn't interpret it. They are not robots, after all, to be available 24/7 at all hours of the day and night?
One day a client in a session literally opened my eyes with one phrase.
She said: āI CAN SEE WHEN HE'S NOT UP TO IT.ā
That's the secret. The notorious emotional service. Subsequently, and many other women have confirmed this in a targeted survey: when the desire for intimacy arises, a woman assesses her partner's condition BEFORE taking the initiative. If she sees that her partner is tired, sick, in a bad mood, or preoccupied with something, she does not consider it appropriate to offer sex. I have also heard from many women that in a situation when she can not clearly assess the state of the partner, she prefers to flirt, as if casually get naked, as if accidentally do something that usually arouses the partner. If there is no reaction to this, the woman usually refuses to take the initiative and solves her problems on her own, without forcing the partner to conflict and feel guilty.
Men don't want their partners all the time - it's just that no one gets in their underwear when it's inappropriate. No one forces them to think about sex when they don't want to think about it.
Men themselves don't usually check against anything but their own erections.
They don't care when to offer sex to a woman(the following is a real and far from complete list):
Who is asleep (well, seriously, I don't know any woman who would ever think of waking up a sleeping partner to satisfy her sexually);
who's back from her 24-hour shift;
who just finished cooking a holiday dinner for ten people;
who has a high fever;
who's been vomiting all day;
who is eight months pregnant with a complicated pregnancy;
who has undergone a termination of pregnancy that day;
who is in the terminal stages of cancer;
who's just had a pet die;
returning from the funeral of a beloved grandmother;
waiting for a call from the NICU where their (mutual!) child is (āLet's get a little loose while we waitā) - and so on and so forth.
It may seem like it's a matter of cognitive distortion, that they just don't get itā¦.. But they do. I asked one of them once: does he really think that a person in such a state can want sex? Yes, it is clear that they don't want to, he replied, but I'm just in case - maybe it will work out. I asked him how he would react if it didn't work out, and he admitted that he would be hurt and angry. And that's another āsecretā - why it does burn out. Because refusal will inevitably lead to conflict, and a woman often does not have the strength not only for sex, but also for an argument. When he offered sex, she basically can not get out of the situation without damage - either to be raped, or to deal with his tantrums and offenses. And unfortunately, sometimes the first one turns out to be the lesser harm."

YOUR FUTURE SPOUSE'S FIRST IMPRESSION OF YOU
Reminder: it doesn't matter if you saw this reading a day or a week or a month or a year after posting this. My readings are timeless. You'll see this when you're meant to see this and receive your message.
How to pick a pile: close your eyes and take a deep breath before picking a pile. If you feel drawn to more than one pile, it's alright, you may take the piles that you're drawn to. What's important is to take it how it resonates and leave what doesn't.
Note: please feel free to give me a feedback on my asks about the reading! I would highly appreciate it and it'll be a huge help for me to improve as a reader.

PILE ONE
Hello, Pile 1! Welcome to your reading. So what I'm getting is that your future spouse's first impression of you will be a mix of emotional, intellectual, and practical nature. Your future spouse will see you as their soulmate or "the one" the moment they see/meet you. When you meet, they'll be in the stage of life where life's testing them real bad. I feel like they're one of the fixed signs who will be heavily affected by Pluto in Aquarius and their life will be such a rollercoaster ride. So when they meet you, they'll feel like this rollercoaster ride has just ended because you'll be their comfort zone. I'm seeing that you could have a masculine energy who's emotionally intelligent and/or connected/in touch with your emotions. Your future spouse admires this trait of yours and it makes them want you even more in their life. I'm also getting that your future spouse sees you as someone who's practical and might be good with money. You could be financially stable or money flows easily for you. They see you as someone nurturing and caring, to the point that you're really committed to them and to your relationship.
PILE TWO
Hello there, Pile 2! Welcome to your reading. First of all, what I'm getting here is that your future spouse will see you as someone who constantly learns something new. You might meet at a university or institutions or workplace where you're required to learn and enhance new skills. To your future spouse, you're a logical person and you might have masculine energy. I'm getting the IDGAF energy here and this might be their first impression of you. They see you as someone who doesn't tolerate toxicity and bad behavior. When someone does you wrong or dirty for the first time and they apologize to you, you'll accept and forgive. But if they do it again on the second time, that's a goodbye to them. There will be no third time. You don't give a fuck whether they'll be hurt when you cut ties because first of all, that's their fault and you're simply protecting yourself from their energy. I'm also seeing that your future spouse will see you as someone who knows what you want and you just do your thing and get it. Just like in Ariana's song 7 rings, "I want it, I got it" which I keep hearing right now. I also feel like when you meet, you might be in a "stuck" situation or you're mentally foggy and they'll notice this so your future spouse will have the urge to help you or approach you and be in their strongest masculine energy because they see you as someone with masculine energy, and they'll try to beat that. Not because of ego, but because they know you have high standards and well, they want you so they'll try to fit in those standards, but not in a fake or pretentious way, but in a way that they'll be a better person.
PILE THREE
Hello, Pile 3! Welcome to your reading. Well, this is such a passionate and fiery energy here. I'm getting that your future spouse's first impression of you is that they'll see you as someone who's fiery. You have a lot of courage and when someone tests you or makes your life a bit difficult, you don't back down. Instead, you fight back. I can see that your future spouse sees you as someone who's expanding your finances. You're trying to make your financial life stable here, or even more than stable. You could meet at a workplace, specifically in business-related workplaces. I'm seeing a woman wearing a white blouse, dark blue/navy trousers and 3-inch black heels standing in front of a desk and typing something on the computer, helping someone get their work done or looking at their work. This could be you or them. I'm also seeing that your future spouse sees you as a passionate person, you're passionate in your job and you get all your work done. I feel like you could be the CEO here. I'm also seeing that your future spouse will be really physically attracted to you when you first meet (to a sexual level). They'll be starstruck when they see you and it'll feel like the world suddenly stopped moving.

āā nerd!gojo immediately pissing you off the moment he opens his fucking mouth.
āā nerd!gojo who shares a few classes with you and he's always talking over you, has to prove your points wrong even when you back them up with facts and research.
āā he does it to make you mad, you know he does. he does it because it's so easy to make you mad and it's fucking cute how your nose scrunches and how you fold your arms over your chest and give him the cold shoulder the rest of the lesson.
āā "fuck you, satoru."
āā "oh you wish, sweetheart."
āā nerd!gojo who purposely sits next to you in class because he knows his presence drives you up the wall.
āā he points out holes in your research, steals your pens off your desk, leans on your shoulder and stays there no matter how much to elbow his side, there is no peace with him.
āā nerd!gojo who is tied for best grade in the class with none other than you. and fuck it makes him mad, though he would never admit it.
āā nerd!gojo who teases you when you're even a single point behind him when you get your grades back.
āā nerd!gojo who never hears the end of it when you do better than him on a test or essay.
āā nerd!gojo who may find you annoying, but he also finds your competitiveness and smart-ass demeanour fucking hot.
āā you're the only person to ever one-up him. give him a run for his place as the smartest guy in class.
āā you're single-handedly his motivation to do better in class. not because he wants to, but because he needs to win.
āā you're so smug when you win and you're so hot-headed when you don't. he starts to find it fucking confusing when you bicker with him or insult his intelligence and he finds it... hot.
āā you could be calling him every colourful name under the sun and he would just stand there and take it with a shit-eating grin plastered across his face and his eyes peeking over his sunglasses and staring at your pretty lips.
āā nerd!gojo who is also virgin!gojo, which you would never have guessed with how he holds himselfā always so outwardly confident and always has soooo much to say.
āā virgin!gojo who has maybe kissed two girls his whole life, forced to hole himself up in his dorm and fist his cock when he's so beyond frustrated.
āā virgin!gojo who finds himself starting to think about... you.
āā virgin!gojo who thinks about burying his virgin cock inside you, fucking you stupid on his cock since you always seem to have something to say.
āā you find it fucking weird when he doesn't shoot back with a sarcastic comment one morning, his eyes unable to meet yours.
āā now you know something's wrong because it always makes gojo's day when he sees your face flush and watches you stomp around all angry and annoyed at him.
āā virgin!gojo who doesn't know what to do when he's cornered by you in the library, and for the first time, he sees you be genuine toward him.
āā "aw, you care about me."
āā "you know what? forget it."
āā virgin!gojo who knows he needs to just shut his big mouth for once and he finally doesā by slamming you against the closest bookshelf and messily kissing you like his life depends on it.
āā virgin!gojo who realises he's super out of practice when it comes to kissing... or maybe you're both bad.
āā virgin!gojo who panics when he gets you back to his dorm room, clumsy fingers pulling your clothes off while you nervously pull at his.
āā it's slow and it's messy and there's very obviously an elephant in the room that neither of you want to address.
āā but you finally bite the bullet.
āā "i'm a virgin."
āā "you telling me no one's ever wanted to fuck that bitchy attitude out of you?"
āā "don't piss me off."
āā virgin!gojo who admits he too is a virgin.
āā the two of you acknowledge that there's been a sexual tension brewing between you two for a while... so maybe you should just fuck it out.
āā virgin!gojo who sinks to his knees, throwing your thighs over his shoulders and pressing his curious tongue against your soaked slit.
āā no one's ever touched you like thatā you're getting riled up just seeing him between your thighs.
āā virgin!gojo who is finally fucking quiet and lets you show him when you guide him on how to finger you. you show him where to touch you, how to touch you, where to lick and suck on you.
āā and virgin!gojo who listens and he's a fast learner because he wants to please you.
āā and when virgin!gojo finally sinks his huge fucking cock inside you. you nearly fucking scream.
āā and virgin!gojo who has no idea he's big. no one's ever seen his cock, or felt it. he's had nothing to compare it toā
āā "you're so fucking big."
āā "oh, yeah? you like it, baby?"
āā virgin!gojo who didn't think he'd like dirty talk as much as he does. but he likes how you whine and moan just from his voice, how he can rile you up and have you soaking his dick and the sheets just from telling you what a good girl you are.
āā but also virgin!gojo who is a fucking whiner when he's getting close to his high. your virgin cunt is so warm and tight, he's never experienced such fucking bliss.
āā he's whining about how good you feel, how he's never felt something so fucking mind-blowing. he just keeps fucking talking cus if he doesn't he's gonna cum.
āā and virgin!gojo who fucking cries when he cums because he's on cloud fucking nine. his hips slap erratically, his thrusts are shallow and fast as he approaches his high and his fists curl into the sheets by your head to keep him grounded.
āā and you just wrap your arms around his neck, hold him close as he breathes in your intoxicating scent, arms wrapped around you as he keeps his cock buried inside you alongside the ropes of cum he messily spilled inside you.
āā and nerd!gojo who keeps his cock buried inside you all night, unable to part from your tight warmth.
āā and you don't mind, you just pet his hair and tell him how good he did.
āā and of course, nerd!gojo who wakes you up with quiet breathes by your ear, his hips slapping against your plush ass because he can't get enough of you.
āā nerd!gojo who makes it his mission to make you cum. obsessed with watching you fall apart on his tongue and his fingers, or on his cock or his thigh.
āā really just nerd!gojo who finds out a lot about himself and is no longer virgin!gojo because of you.

So y'all have seen the Williams F1 Logo before, yeah?
well get ready, becaues I am about to ruin your day!
where does one even begin with this. i am sorry in advance. -just a poor learning graphic design student, who simply tried to enjoy their saturday evening
The Logo
For anyone that doesn't know, here's the Williams F1 Logo. Entirely unedited, copied straight from Wikipedia:
Now like many fans, I actually quite enjoy this logo. I like the modern, sharp edges of it and it's simple yet intriguiging design. It's memorable, while also easily recognizable as a W. I also really enjoy the colour choice (this, however, is entirely a personal preference.)
(entire rant under the cut. please keep reading this took years off my life span.)
How did we even get here?
Let's start at the beginning. How did we even get here? Well I, a poor poor learning graphic designer, was watching this lovely video from Mr. V's Garage about bad F1 Logo's over the past 35 or so seasons. Very interesting, I can only recommend it (but you don't need to watch the video to understand this post)!
Now, to cleanse the palette at the end of the video, Mr. V included a top 10 GOOD logos from this time span, it was very kind of him.
On P4 of this "Good List," Mr. V placed the current Williams F1 Logo, as pictured above. At first I vaguely agreed with this, believing that he probably simply hadn't noticed one of the things that's been bothering me about that Logo since the first time I saw it up close.
The first sign of Trouble
So, what is this mystery issue, you might ask?
It's simple really. You don't necessarily notice it at a first glance, but something about that logo seems off. Taking a second longer, you may notice it yourself.
No, I mean it, take a minute and go look at the logo. It looks wonky as hell, doesn't it?
Well I can tell you the first thing that I personally noticed. The arms of the W aren't in line with the bottom half, see:
(Graphic by @girlrussell who was so kind to let me use it, as it is way prettier than the one I made)
It's a crooked W. There is no good explanation for this. The rest of the font is perfectly fine, geometrical shapes.
Anyway, the good person that I am I went to point this out to my partner ( @leftneb ) who proceeded to inform me that he, infact, was not aware about this and was, quote, "never going to unsee that."
Now, the good FRIEND that I am, I, of course, proceeded to rush into our broader F1 friendgroup to make them suffer for eternity.
What's the logical next step to take? Of course, fix the logo in Adobe Photoshop, you know, as a joke.
(Disclaimer at this point, I am not necessarily the biggest fan of Williams Management Team. I enjoy ALL their drivers this season. I do NOT enjoy James Vowels. Be warned.)(Also I am aware that he probably did not have an influence on the logo)
Trying to fix it. Oh god, I was so innocent back then
Trying to fix the logo in Photoshop is the worst mistake I could've made. THE worst path to take. I could've just giggled about making my friends suffer (which I succeeded in, by the way) and moved on. Instead I ruined a perfectly good Saturday evening, and for what? I don't know anymore.
Anyway, how was I gonna go about fixing the logo in the simplest way possible? Simplest way I could come up with: slap the thing in Photoshop and put two, mirrored boxes at each side to make the sides line up. Small issue, how do I make the thing actually even? Fix: line them up at the intersecting point with the bottom tips of the W.
Here's the result:
Hey, anyone care to explain to me why in THE LORDS NAME the arms are different sized? I mean, surely they weren't before. Surely, certainly, I must've messed up.
I double, I tripple checked. I made sure everything was lined up and made sense. But no.
It just couldn't be. Something was uneven in this logo, something even deeper. Something I could not have predicted when first taking a closer look. It was at this point I realized I had messed up. What rabbit hole had I stumbled across? Certainly, it couldn't get much worse.
And that's when I noticed.
(pictured above; my genuine reaction)
There's MORE? (oh god, the top isn't lined up)
I couldn't believe my eyes. This is the PINNACLE of the sport, and THIS was the logo of one of the competing teams? I mean, yeah, we have a Visa Cash App RB or a Kick Sauber or even a MoneyGram Haas which are all terrible logos, but at least they're CLEAN. (this has not been checked. If anyone wishes to ruin a nice Saturday evening, feel free to check them and tell me how wrong I was in the previous statement!)
But you can see that there is no end in sight for this post. I'm sure you're as scared as I was at this point. By now we were sitting in VC, discussing the horribleness of this logo. I had long informed my irl's about this, who take said design classes with me. And it was one of them who pointed out the next thing that had been bothering me, but I had not been able to put a finger on up to this point.
thE DISTANCE, HOW DID THEY FUCK IT?
I'm afraid I have to confirm your fears.
Yes, those lines are the same length. According to Photoshop, they're on the same level as well, so no flunking with angles.
The gaps of the arms to the main W are not the same. They're differently sized gaps.
It was clear to us, this logo is inherintely flawed. They're subtle issues, but once you pay attention you start to notice things. It all looks slightly wonky and off centre. And eventually, you get paranoid, and start comparing other angles and sizes. And you will keep finding things. This has ruined my life.
HOOOOOW
Honestly, I don't even know what to say. Yes, yes sadly those lines, too, are the same length. Just copied over from one side to the other and layed over on the same height. I admit, they're not layed over perfectly. I was honestly holding back tears at this point. But the point still stands, you can clearly see a difference in width.
Honestly, the only way I can explain it is that at some point there was a mess up of distance or proportions and whoever was designing the logo couldn't pin it down and tried to restore the visual balance by making manual adjustments. And in all honesty? They kinda did a good job, if that's what's happened. I mean, you notice the crookedness of the arms, and then maybe the difference in height, but the rest you probably will not notice if you don't spend too much time staring at it. (like some of us) And even those issues clearly aren't noticeable to the vast majority, considering I had to go point it out to a group chat for my friends at least to notice.
what the fuck is THAT?
Now, the thing about doing this investigative work of prooving a team you dislike is worse in more aspects than you previously thought, is that you do a lot of zooming in. And zooming in means you might notice bits that yours eyes simply overlooked before, because they were too small.
Here you can witness the top of the middle point, that, for whatever reason, really wants to touch the top border of the Logo. I'm relatively certain that's the highest few pixel in the entire graphic, considering earlier chapter "There's MORE?" I have no idea why it looks like that or why they thought it was necessary for it to not end in a clean point.
I just actually have no idea how to even describe what is going on on the top of the left arm. That left hand side, again, touches the side and is therefore the most-left-pixel in the graphic. I, once again, have no idea the purpose of this. However the RIGHT hand side also makes no sense, as it is the most prominent corner in the whole logo. There's pointed corners, and rounded OF corners, but nothing that is trying to form it's own colony in a distant land that hopefully isn't this god awful logo. I hope that blob gets away. I really do. You go king.
i'm loosing my mind
Anyway, the only reason I could come UP with those weird "reachy-outy-bits" was to establish the dimensions of the logo? But if that was the case, I don't understand why they managed to keep all the other potentially border touching corners clean?
Like, look. Those are clean, sharp corners with some clearance off the borders. I have no clue why they managed it here but not with the others.
guys. please.
Backtrackig a little bit, going back to the positioning of the arms.
Do I need to mention that those lines are both the same length and the same (mirrored) angle? I really hope I don't, because I don't think I could be making this shit up. Like, once you roughly know what you need to look for it just kinda becomes easy to find.
As said before, I genuinely do think that most of these issues happened in a chain-reaction. For example, the distances between the main part and the W wouldn't be as noticeable (and they do get noticeable once you start looking at it) if the angle wasn't fucked. And guess what, there's more fucked angles here! Which ALSO influence this specific area of the logo!
this is just embarrasing for you.
something something same line copied over and mirrored etc etc
It's not as visible but the angles defintely don't line up here as well. As mentioned before, these issues for the most part all influence each other. It doesn't really excuse the issues, in my opinion as a designer, because a big company like this shouldn't have these sort of issues in their logo.
So let's review;
to sum it up,
i cannot even BEGIN to explain to you how big of a fucking JOKE this FUCKING logo is. because, i thought to myself, to round the post out, hey, why not show ALL the issues i pointed out in one picture? that would round it out quite nicely, wouldn't it?
Yeah well, this logo sent STRAIGHT FROM HELL just could NOT let me rest. I had only done the lines visualizing the crooked arms in PAINT up until this point, i.e. I had only pulled both up individually. To make a nice "rounding out" picture I still had to add them into PHOTOSHOP. so i did. i pulled up the line. i mirrored the line.
THE ANGLE IS FUCKING DIFFERENT
none. and i mean NONE of my friends had noticed this before. i need you to understand that we looked at this thing with FIVE pair of eyes, and NONE of us noticed that until i thought to myself "Oh I still need to add these specific lines to have ALL the issues I pointed out in my SILLY TUMBLR POST in ONE image" and i get THAT FUCKING SURPRISE
I was PLANNING to round the post out with a statement on how obviously this isn't a serious post. Here, I even had it all written out already because I accidentally started writing it in the last paragraph:
Of course, this is nitpicking, and it's not that serious. I'm aware of that. AS MENTIONED most of these would not be noticeable if we hadn't gone specifically looking for them.
yeah, well, fuck that. i just spent two hours seething about this logo. i'm ending the post on this instead.
#i am ENRAGED#i managed to actually calm down about it#yk. just typing away#and then i just try to ROUND OUT THE POST#for fucks sake#anyway i know i'm posting this at an hourrendous hour#if you read all the way. reblog? maybe#pretty please#williams f1#williams formula 1#williams racing#formula 1#f1#also apologies for any spelling mistakes i do NOT have the nerve to go back and proofread this

brothers best friend!jisung x fem. reader
after the incident of your brother finding out you hooked up with one of his friends, you promised to yourself to never look out for him anymore. but who says heāll give up on you that easily?
wc. 2.8k
warnings. smut (mdni), jisung is down bad, body worship like crazy in here, tit sucking, fingering, ass slapping, unprotected sex
part 1 for context here <3
IT HAS BEEN one whole month since you last talked to jisung. one month since you saw him probably for the last time in a hot minute.
the last few weeks have been extremely unusual; you keep questioning yourself how was he doing, if he's even ever going to appear at your house again to hang out with you brother, like he always did. he's probably not.
and fuck jaemin, fuck him for screwing your bond with him. it's useless, pure jealousy and he's so stupid!, stupid for being this mad with one if his best friends of years, simply because he thinks you're still a child.
on the other hand, jisung is being not so subtle in the way he still wants you. he keeps liking the pics you post on your instagram stories, sometimes even replying to them. and it's the sad fact you're not giving him a single reply.
his mind wanders to the thought of you being already completely over him, wanting to distance yourself fully right now, thanks to your brother.
but your heart knows that's not what you want, and it keeps giving you a warning that the next time that you see him, these feelings will come back stronger than ever.
you miss him. so bad, thinking about him makes you sick.
you're laying in bed, scrolling quietly through your phone when the damn notification appears. why does he keep trying? you sigh out loud.
the__and.y liked your stories.
you ran your hands through your hair, turning off your phone to stare at the ceiling to collect your breath. you can't, your brother is still furious with both of you.
jisung ā”: why do u keep ignoring me in every existing social media
is he really going to do this? at this late at night?
jisung ā”: i miss you
you kept reading his messages and not replying. you didn't contact him for a month.
maybe, just maybe, things may have gotten lighter with jaemin. perhaps he's not really remembering this whole thing, yeah?
you: i'm sorry jisung
you: idk if this is right i really don't know
you: im confused
you turn off your phone again while waiting for his reply. let's give it a try.
jisung ā”: why wouldn't it be right
jisung ā”: jaemin can't control your life, you can do whatever you want
hm.
you: i felt bad that day and he's still so mad with you
you: idc if he's mad with me, he's my brother at the end of the day
you: i worry about you and how hes fucked up your friendship
jisung ā”: baby you know what's fucked up
jisung ā”: you trying to convince yourself that you don't want this because of him
jisung ā”: say to my face that you don't want it
you want this so fucking bad. to be in his arms again, and the thrill of being with him behind closed doors. god, that's all you want in every way.
you: ji
you: i want to see you
jisung ā”: that's right
jisung ā”: i've waited for this princess
jisung ā”: waited so long
you: i need you
you: i don't care anymore
you really don't give a fuck - your brother can hold his protectiveness instinct for himself, he actually can. you can't control what your heart aims for.
and it screams for park jisung.
"you can't ignore him forever, you know that?"
"who says I'm ignoring him? I texted him yesterday saying he should come this weekend." jaemin huffed, acting oblivious to the fact that the only reason why he invited jisung over was because of the boys' annual end of year party.
chenle deadpans at him with his stare, letting out a chuckle, "if you didn't invite him I would've done it myself." he paused, turning his head to look at the man, "that would be bullshit."
bullshit. jaemin swore he almost threw chenle out of the car in the harshest way possible - clicking his tongue in pure annoyance, "yeah, it was just fine when he fucked my sister behind my back."
"i'm pretty sure they did not fuck."
if you didn't then why were you both half naked. in his car. at your backyard?
"i'm telling you, I saw it. she was literally on top of him and she was fucking moaning his name, chenle. that's fucking wrong." your brother spat while still not looking at his friend - eyes focused on the road.
chenle keeps going, "cut this off, jaem. you can't see her as a baby anymore. let her live."
jisung is indeed coming to your house again - sooner than you thought. but it did take some days for you to find out, tho. you brother wasn't the one who told you.
in the same day, the last messages jisung sent you before you went to sleep.
jisung ā”: dress up prettily for me tomorrow
jisung ā”: will you?
you: what??
you: you're coming???
jisung ā”: jaemin told me to go and yeah i didn't expect it as well
jisung ā”: dreaming of you again
jisung ā”: kissing your sweet lips holding you so close to me
jisung ā”: it'll be all mine princess
you: go to sleep ji
you: silly
jisung ā”: i'll show you what's silly tomorrow
ā
the sound of the boys laughing and loud pitching talking in the living room did quite mess with your head, anticipating the moment when he comes. it's crazy how you got so dolled up for him only, he's the reason why you're even going out of your room this night.
if it wasn't for jisung, you'd probably just greet the guys and come back to your own quiet place, drowning in your thoughts, alone. just like you always used to do before he appeared in your life.
a knock was heard on your door just right after you finished your makeup. unexpectedly, you meet a very tipsy jaemin.
"what the fuck is this outfit?" he spats, crossing his arms in front of his chest - his body unbalanced. for a split second, you closed your eyes and thanked all the existing Gods under your breath. he's drunk.
you smiled, "felt pretty today. you smell like beer, don't talk to me."
"hey, hey, hey." he grabbed your arm before you could close the door and kick him out, "come say hello to my friends. don't be rude."
you fixed your hair and outfit and went to the living room, being find with chenle, jeno and donghyuck's figures sat around the big table, nestled with all the different kinds of drinks and alcohol.
your breath hitched when jisung was nowhere to be found.
after greeting the guys, you decided to wait in your room - not sure on how, or when will jisung get there and you'll finally get to release all of your wants. show him how much you miss him and vice versa.
not much time had passed before another knock was heard on your door. you were sprawled on bed, dim lighting decorating the ambient.
"come in."
you said that because you thought it was your brother. jisung carefully opened the door, eyes peeking first to check on you.
that scene truly felt like a movie. you slowly got up, a smile starting to pop up in your lips as you walked to him.
your voice trembling, "hi, ji."
you opened the door fully for him to enter your space, he wasted no time to step in and pull you into a hug.
a mess was happening in your head, so ridiculously dizzy from him - the masculine smell of his cologne filling your nostrils, his hands holding your body flush to him while yours gripped his black t shirt, so simple and casual but yet made him look so attractive.
or maybe thatās just because you miss him a lot.
jisung leaned away from your embrace, gently taking your hair out of your face while holding eye contact - hands flew to your hips.
"you look gorgeous. more than ever."
your arms secured their hold around his neck, feeling your cheeks burning red from his words, "just for you." you announced.
he nodded, "all for me."
you both smiled like two idiots in love as he leaned down to kiss you, mouths melting so sweet at first - tongues brushing here and there, hums being heard throughout the kiss, "so pretty in this dress." he mumbles in between.
his back hits the door as he closes it, left hand leaving your hips for a mere second just to lock it.Ā making absolute sure that no one will be able to interrupt.
jisung grabs a hold of your thighs to help you walk further into your room, so familiar to him.
all the times you've sneaked out, when jisung slept by and left jaemin's room in the middle of the night when he was in a deep sleep. all behind his back with so much carefulness.
when he lays you down he's quick to trail his wet kisses down to your neck, firm hands caressing your whole body, going up and down in motions.
you arch into him, playing with his black hair strands as his face rests on your chest, meanwhile his lips keeps smooching your hot skin.
you sigh in contentment, knees pressing together - trying to give him a sign that you're needy, so painfully needy for him.
"jisung i want- mhhm" your words get cut off by your own whine when his hand grabs the top of your dress to pull it down, hanging it just below your bra.
"don't want to take your dress off.. youre looking too beautiful like this." his deep voice quietly said.
you smile at his sweet comment, holding back all your whines combined with the feeling of his fingers messing with the lace of your white bra, throwing your head back with no shame when he pulls the fabric down to expose your breasts, still not taking it off your body.
"so pretty, princess. i could admire you all day."
cool air is fast to hit but it's soon replaced by jisung's hot mouth, circling your breast with his tongue, hand massaging the other while his mouth does wonders on your soft flesh.
when he reaches for your nipple you whine even louder, his saliva pooling and soaking your whole breast when he sucks it into his warm hot mouth, humming nonstop.
"you're crazy ji-jisung."
"should i stop?" he teases, leaning his mouth away from your nipple and replacing it with his finger, rubbing it.
"no for fucks sake.. but I'm trying so hard to keep quiet." your voice trembled slightly.
jisung looks at you then laughs, ātheyāre so wasted right now, no oneās conscious in that room, love.ā
you pout at him, he softly traces your bottom lip with his thumb before kissing you again, āI promise you, itās okay. but I need you to tell me itās okay with you.ā
his soft and caring voice did turn you on even more, it shouldnāt, but it made you wetter. eyes holding so much love and appreciation looking at yours - āI want this. I want you, ji.ā
jisung smiles one more time, giving you a nod and resumed his work, mumbling a deep āfuckā under his breath when he tested the waters, hand went under your dress to feel your core.
he pulled the ends of your dress up to your stomach, your thighs ridiculously pressed together. you should be ashamed of how wet you were, but youāre not, not even a single bit.
he gives your thighs a caress, ālet me spread them, hm?ā
your breath hitches when he brings your knees to your chest, spreading you all open and full for him. jisung mentally coos at the scene in front of him.
just like your bra, white lace panties with a wet dark patch decorated in the middle, like a gift for him. it drove him crazy.
ādid you miss me that much, princess?ā you can only moan as response when he touches the wet patch with his finger before pulling the lace to the side, holding it in place with one finger, while his middle finger travels up and down your cunt.
wet, so fucking wet, āfuck. love, i might cum just by looking at this.ā he cursed and cursed again, eyes wide open and looking straight at your puffy displayed cunt, so wet just for him. he knew that and so did you.
āoh fuck baby i canāt-ā jisungās fingers spread you open to admire you better - in love, genuinely in love with how your pretty pussy shines for him, glistening and begging to suck him in.
he leans down fast enough to give your clit a quick kiss, ācanāt stop thinking about how beautiful she is.ā still caressing your core.
you moan his name desperately at his nasty but sweet comment, tons of whines and ājisungā ās leaving your mouth.
āji please. want your fingers.ā you manage to say.
āof course, gotta prep my beautiful girl.ā he smiles, an expert finger circling your clit before diving down into your entrance. covered with slick, your cunt invites him just as soon.
experienced fingers pumping in and out continuously, you whine with your eyes closed at the sound of wetness.
jisungās in complete awe, stoping his staring at your hole to kiss your face, first at the corner of your mouth, then at your lips, shutting your whines off.
āyouāre perfect.ā he leans away to say.
nothingās more perfect in this world than the sensation of his long and thick fingers inside you, scissoring you and reaching the deepest and most sensitive spots ever. youāll say that to him later.
you try to smile but you soon harshly bite your lip when he curled his two fingers inside, you yelped, ājisung! oh my god-ā
he kisses you again, and again, until heās satisfied and thinks youāre ready to take him. jisungās fingers leave you empty, and you let out a cry - his eyes make their way to between your legs to see how youāre pulsating.
ānever seen my princess this wet..ā deep cocky voice says.
you reach out to take off your dress, āiāve missed you.ā
when your dress was discarded to the floor, he was quick to unbutton his jeans as they went to the same destination of your clothes.
you could see his erection through his boxers, and as much as you want to such him off right now, youāre needing him inside. now.
your panties were about to be discarded before jisung grabbed your hand and shook his head, āwant them on, baby. sā pretty. keep the bra too.ā
knowing how he likes it with you, you turned around and pinned your front to the bed, arching your back and your ass in the air.
āfuck, just like that.ā he pumps his cock at first, cooing you while you wait for him.
jisungās hands flew to your back to arch it even more, then to hold your hips. he rubs the head of his dick on your entrance, how your pussy almost sucks him in just from the rubbing.
when he enters you, you let out a little too loud moan. hands clutching the sheets and tears filling your eyes.
heās completely focused on how you keep clenching around him - the amusing view of your cunt sucking him all the way in, then out again.
your hips were pressed to his shaft, feeling him so fucking deep into your womb.
jisung coos again, āyou donāt know how Iāve been dying for this.ā he slaps your ass.
ājisung! jisung fuck, jisung.ā you whine like a baby, lost in the pleasure. ass stinging from his big hand slap and cunt begging to be filled until you get sore.
āmy love.ā another slap, āfucking made just for me.ā
his cock is so big and it leaves you like a babbling mess, so big that it almost hurts from how good it is, hits you in all places.
you both were getting closer, his thrusts started to get sloppier and messier, slower as he pulled away to release at your back.
your own release dripped down your pussy and thighs, while his hot cum painted your back down to your ass cheeks. what a scene.
āwant them all to see this mess.. jaemin needs to see how youāre good to me.ā he admires the sight of your cunt clenching and unclenching around absolutely nothing but the air, ācanāt believe youāre mine and no one can ever change that.ā
you tiredly laid back on your back again, trying to fix your hair. jisungās sweaty body joined you after tossing the dirty sheets aside, he breathes heavy, but still with that cute smile on his lips.
ādo you think they heard something?.ā you look up at him, voice low.
jisung thinks for a second, furrowing his brows, āi honestly donāt think so, baby. but you need to change these sheets..ā
āof course i will, ji.ā you laughed fondly. thereās still some questions hanging in the air, with what face will he come back to the boys?
āand if they ask you where were you this whole time and what were you doingā¦?ā
āthen iāll just say that i was fucking the prettiest girl in the family and i donāt regret it.ā

Pile 1:
(The cards I got for you - 10 of pentacles, Strength and the moon)
Okay so the very first thing I heard and feel is that you guys need to embrace your true self and leave people pleasing behind, like show who you are to world, if they don't accept it or you, then they are not for you! Your guides were also being like there are things or some lessons that they needs to go on their own, we can give them strength for the same, but what lessons they take it from it, its up to them. I also heard this group might use some self pampering, or self positive affirmation this group might at times worry a lot, I also feel this whoever chose this pile is quite spiritual, or have spiritual powers but some are just not awaken yet, I also feel this group is quite strong, they have gone through numerous things, they just need to accept they are worthy of it ALSO I am hearing stop with letting people who do bare minimum, stop putting them on pedestal, again with knowing self worth, I also FEEL for few of you could have had toxic patterns, friendships or relationships, which left you broken, and what I am hearing is, they made you who you are now, so embrace that part of you, and forgive yourself. You can also love yourself by indulging in activities which gives you pleasure! LIKE yes. this group feel quite rational, the zodiac signs I am getting for this group is air signs, especially Gemini sun/moon/rising, earth signs Capricorn and Virgo. I am also getting that let loose don't control the outcome, go with the flow, live day by day. For some of you I am getting, take proper care of your skin, don't chew on lips, and pick on acne scars. This was so specific and had to write it out for you, I also feel do things which scares you no matter the outcome, just go for it~
That's all pile 1, your pile had such sweet messages and I love it for you guys, love yourself and be you!
Pile 2:
(The cards I got for you - 4 of wands, wheel of fortune, 9 of swords and the 7 of pentacles)
Okay so the very first thing I feel and hear is you won't be unproductive if you take your time off, and have a gap in school year, job or anything related to career, so stop with being so harsh on yourself, I also feel this pile can love themselves more by being on their own, rather than forcing themselves to be with people who aren't meant for them, or they feel they can't quite fit in, I also feel some of you from this pile have to go out of comfort zone, in order to enjoy or love themselves, by not caring what people think of you or for you. I also feel you can love yourself by gifting yourself things you like, if they are out of budget then save for it, it will bring you immense pleasure. I also feel you can love yourself by enjoying and celebrating small moments in your life, or win, you passed your grade? gift yourself something even a small treat, you got a job? you got work done? gift yourself something, not gonna lie, this group is quite materialistic lol, not ALL of you, but SOME of you! hehe, but its not a bad thing at all~ I also feel you should embrace your uniqueness, this group might have body image or self esteem issues, and it makes sense the message i got for not caring what think of you, even if you embarrass yourself remember , no one remembers, be compassionate with yourself, treat yourself the way, you treat others, with kindness, you deserve it, I also feel this group might have a hobby of reading so get back into it or continue doing it, because its a form of self love for you, I also feel, this pile works really hard, so guys? take it easy you will get rewards soon, and don't doom scroll at night take proper sleep at least 7-8 hours! Take care of yourself and keep yourself hydrated! This group zodiac signs is earth signs and fire signs especially virgo energy and sagittarus!
That's all pile 2, you guys need to beeeelieve in yourself! You got this!
Pile 3:
(The cards I got for you - knight of cups, page of cups, and the queen of wands)
Okay so the very first thing i sense from this group is you are emotional too emotional and sometimes you let it affect your decisions (not a bad things) but sometimes, when someone step all over you, you need to show who you are! LIKE A BAD ASS PERSON, hehe, Don't let anyone make you think otherwise and look down on you, I feel this group might have had a friend breakup perhaps? which changed you, random. anyways! Let's start, I feel you guys can love yourself more by travelling, by going on random places, even if its close to your place, it might give you a sort of joy, many of you could be here a sort of beach person, or have water signs, Scorpio, cancer, and Pisces, I also feel you need to let your creativity flow, some of you could be quite artistic here, like very creative or might have sort of nice voice? embrace that. I do feel you have it all but at time when you lose it don't let your emotions guide you, but think from rationality or logical side, it will do you good, I also feel, very random but i think or feel some of you here likes to bake?? anyhow! I feel you can love yourself by journaling, meditating, to clam yourself, by spending time with loved ones, I also feel once you start being more confident and love the way you're, accept yourself, work on your flaws it would be you entering your divine era of power, I also got the message, "that you guys are doing great in your life", even if you think you're not i see you guys thriving. You guys can love yourself by a spa session or a cool bath like do what you gotta do baby!, I also feel you should spend time with animals care for them, it will be beneficial for you!
That's all pile 3! You just need to see yourself that you're the most beautiful and amazing person <3, keep going babies~

ā MOST TO LEAST LIKELY TO GO TO MCDONALDS WITH YOU AT 3 AM : twisted wonderland
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7b8068f2f79930599936fd3df7973f96/8dcca1d913da868f-0a/s540x810/bcbbbc503330099da26b12fb4254a599650e9c37.jpg)

[synopsis] twisted wonderland characters that would accompany you to mcdonalds at 3 am
[characters] all (romantic) + ortho (platonic)
[disclaimer] this post talks about food a lot and mentions of unhealthy food (in vil's and riddle's part)
[extra] i'm having way too much fun writing character's reactions
āā Most likely
ā
ļ¹LILIA VANROUGE
Bold of you to assume he was sleeping in the first place. Lilia was playing the equivalent of Overwatch in Twisted Wonderland when you suddenly asked him to go to the nearest McDonald's. He agreed instantly, and now you're both on a date, with you eating fries and Lilia eating a strawberry sundae and a cheeseburger..
ā
ļ¹ORTHO SHROUD (platonic)
He agreed instantly. Can robots even feel tired in the first place? Ortho will search on the internet for coupons and promos, but first let him equip his eating gear; he wants to eat too. Everything for his best friend. By the way, he wants to buy something for Idia too.
ā
ļ¹ROOK HUNT
Rook got out of bed even before you even mentioned you wanted to go out, he woke up when he felt you were awake. Rook is a light sleeper; he can even feel when you wake up to go to the bathroom. If you really want a meal at McDonald's, who is he to say no? It makes him happy to see you happy, but he will stare while drinking his strawberry shake. Not a "I'm judging you" stare, but a "I like to see you enjoy your meal" stare.
ā
ļ¹MALLEUS DRACONIA
He has probably eaten McDonald's at least once because Lilia bought the whole of Diasomnia burgers. Alright, you're both going. Yes, he's still a little confused over why you would crave a really cheap burger at 3 am, but Malleus doesn't even care; the burgers are good and he enjoys indulging in human customs, plus he gets to see you smile. The only bad thing is that the employees got the fright of their lives when they saw the literal prince of Briar Valley enter the restaurant.
ā
ļ¹SILVER
Still sleepy, he agreed. There are times when he randomly awakes during the night, so he might as well spend it with you, even if it was at a fast food restaurant at 3 am. He'll order an iced coffee and some fries and listen to you while you speak about whatever comes to mind. You'll both have to make it quick though, he may fall asleep there, and you both need to get back before classes start.
ā
ļ¹DEUCE SPADE
He didn't even understand what you were saying; his mind was still foggy from being woken up so late. He said yes, not knowing what he was agreeing with, but a few minutes later he realized what he agreed to. Deuce, not wanting to have gotten your hopes up only for him to say no, got up and accompanied you anyway. He still enjoyed himself though, as long as he is with you, he's happy.
ā
ļ¹RUGGIE BUCCHI
He's tired because of how many errands Leona made him do yesterday, but you know what? He will still go. Food is food, and he could never refuse it. Leona lets him grab his credit card anyway, so order whatever you want, Leona will pay, even if he doesn't know that. It's not like he checks his credit card's expenses, so don't worry about it.
ā
ļ¹JACK HOWL
When he confessed to you a few months ago, he didn't expect that would mean signing up for you waking him up in the middle of the night, asking him to accompany you to eat fast food outside of campus. Still, he's your boyfriend, and he can't let you go alone, it's dangerous. Even if he doesn't feel like ordering anything, he will sit there with you until you finish your meal, chatting with you in the meantime.
ā
ļ¹ACE TRAPPOLA
You're lucky he loves you too much; he would have said no if you were another person. So now Ace is sitting at McDonald's, almost falling asleep while eating some nuggets. That one song they keep replaying will haunt him in his dreams; it got stuck in his head for like, a week. Riddle reprimanded him the next day for falling asleep during history class.
ā
ļ¹CATER DIAMOND
Out of everything he could have expected a person to say at 3 am, it certainly wasn't "I want to go to McDonald's". Cater takes a selfie with you inside and uploads it to his Magicam story, the close friends one, so Riddle doesn't realize he wasn't at the dorm. He still has no idea how you came up with this, but ok, it was for the funsies.
ā
ļ¹JADE LEECH
You're certainly unpredictable, aren't you? Jade stared at you for a good minute until he just got up, got changed, and went with you. Floyd has done weirder stuff during one of his mood swings; what harm can going to McDonald's do? He doesn't feel like cooking that late anyway. Just don't tell Azul you're both going to the competition, okay?
ā
ļ¹EPEL FELMIER
He had you repeat what you said twice to make sure he was hearing you correctly. You want to do what? Let him go back to sleep, please. Okay, whatever, he will accompany you, but make it quick. At least that's what he said before spending the next two hours chatting with you while eating. He sadly got caught by Vil when he came back. Rook snitched.
ā
ļ¹SEBEK ZIGVOLT
No, he has to make sure nobody attacks Malleus while he's sleeping. But with some reassurance from Lilia (and him asking Sebek to bring him a burger) and his love for you, he decided to accompany you. He'll ask for the biggest burger since he has a big appetite. He did enjoy it at the end; 10/10 would do it again (but he won't say that out loud).
ā
ļ¹KALIM AL-ASIM
He doesn't mind that you woke him up, and he would like to go, but there's a small problem: he isn't allowed to go anywhere without Jamil, which means he would need to wake him up. Jamil wouldn't be happy about that, and Kalim doesn't want to bother him either. So you both just order takeout and give the delivery guy a very generous tip.
ā
ļ¹IDIA SHROUD
Idia was awake, but he really doesn't want to go, and he's also farming for an event. Great, now he's craving McDonald's too. If you really want to go, you can have Ortho accompany you, but please bring him a chicken sandwich and some fries. You can use his debit card to pay.
ā
ļ¹TREY CLOVER
... What? What did you even dream about to crave McDonalds so late at night? Trey says you both can go on the weekend if you really want to, but go back to sleep, please. There's an important exam tomorrow, and you'll both be in trouble if you suddenly fall asleep in the middle of it.
ā
ļ¹FLOYD LEECH
He was not in a good mood after being woken up in the middle of the night. Floyd won't let you go, squeezing you so hard that you can't even move away from the bed. You're not going anywhere the whole night, and if you still want the meal, you can order some in the Mostro Lounge tomorrow.
ā
ļ¹LEONA KINGSCHOLAR
It's 3 am, what the heck. Leona says Ruggie can buy you some tomorrow; ask for as much as food as you want, but not at 3 am. He will fall asleep on top of you, so you can't even move, just in case you try to sneak out while he sleeps.
ā
ļ¹JAMIL VIPER
No, please, he's tired. He did so much work yesterday: laundry, cooking, folding clothes, tutoring Kalim, paperwork for an upcoming event, and preparing for an exam. He just wants to rest for at least a few hours. Go back to sleep, please. He promises he'll cook you a burger with some fries tomorrow. His cooking is way superior to fast food anyway.
ā
ļ¹RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS
"No, that's unhealthy", he says. Somebody buy him a happy meal or something, Riddle has probably never eaten fast food in his life. Either way, there's class tomorrow, and he would never forgive himself if he arrived late to a lesson. So no, you aren't going anywhere.
ā
ļ¹AZUL ASHENGROTTO
Why would you want to eat at McDonalds when he has a literal restaurant? Are you trying to buy from the competition? Now Azul is offended at 3 am, so offended that he dragged you to the kitchen to make you a meal resembling the McDonald's one just to prove Mostro Lounge's food is better.
ā
ļ¹VIL SCHOENHEIT
Excuse you? Not only did you interrupt his beauty sleep, but you want to go eat McDonald's'? It's 3 am, please go back to sleep or you'll get dark circles. Lack of sleep is bad for your skin, and he won't take the risk, much less to eat unhealthy food.
