RILEYYYY OH MY GOD šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ THE WAY YOUR REBLOG MADE ME SMILE!!!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ«‚šŸ«‚šŸ’–šŸ’–
OMG I remember that šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ It was so funny!! I thought that Mario would feel a bit embarrassed that Peach got to see him like that (since, you know, he's in love and wants to make a good impression), and also that he'd be even more flustered to see her wearing her lovely swimsuit, so I really had so much fun writing that part šŸ¤­šŸ˜‚ As well as them matching outfits like the adorable lovebirds they are!! So glad that you liked it šŸ„° He's just that silly and I love him so much for that šŸ„¹ā¤ļø
AWEEEEEE so happy that you like Hattie!!! I adore her dearly, and I just HAD to include her here because I LOVED playing with the little Shiba rather than progressing in the story šŸ¤­ Dog lover here, so really not a surprise šŸ˜‚
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD writing the bros' headcanons ALSO melted my heart entirely šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Awwwwww I'm so flattered that Mario keeping Luigi warm reminded you of my Dream Team fic!!! I have to admit I had some sort of dĆ©jĆ  vu writing that part, but that only made me love it even more, honestly šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ Mario always looking after his little brother makes me WEAK ā¤ļøšŸ’š
Same about poor Luigi shivering in the Snow Kingdom šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ Poor boy deserved to have his own coat!! I just couldn't leave this out of my headcanons and had to give it some sort of solution. And the part of Mario jumping back towards Luigi and hugging him right before inviting him to join him was my ABSOLUTE favorite to write because they're just so PURE and love each other SO MUCH they simply can't and won't be apart for too long šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ THE BOYS šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ā¤ļøšŸ’š
Hehe, of course Peach had to beat Mario when playing Balloon World šŸ¤­ And I LOVED including the part of the Golden Trio, both because I LOVE how deeply Mario loves both his bro and his girlfriend, and because I ADORE Peach and Luigi's friendship with all my heart šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ The three of them really need to spend more time together ā¤ļøšŸ’ššŸ©·
Oh my God, Riley. I've been dreaming of a sequel to this GEM of a game ever since I played it for the first time back in 2018. I know it's not likely to happen, but we really can dream šŸ„¹ And the fact that you'd like my headcanons to be featured in that potential sequel, justā€” šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I'M SO HONORED. Thank you so so much šŸ«‚šŸ«‚šŸ«‚šŸ«‚šŸ«‚
I'm seriously so happy!! Thank you so much for reading, and I swear your reblog put the widest smile on my face šŸ„°šŸ„°šŸ’–šŸ’–
šŸŒœ Super Mario Odyssey: post-ending headcanons šŸŒ›
Today marks seven years since the release of my FAVORITE 3D Mario game:
šŸŒœ Super Mario Odyssey šŸŒ›
This game really means EVERYTHING to me, so I wanted to make a little something to commemorate this date. I have to admit I didn't have any ideas at first, but then I remembered what @pepperycar commented on this post... and was suddenly inspired šŸ¤­ Thank you so much, my friend! I owe you this one šŸ’–
So, here I bring you a few ideas that I had on what could have happened after the end of Super Mario Odyssey. There will be Mareach, brotherly love, and SPOILERS, so if you haven't finished this game yet: beware!! āš 
(And please go play it because it's AWESOME.)
@vulpixfairy1985 @bberetd @megamagimugi @peaches2217 @keakruiser
@itsavee4117 @roscolate @smokszyvverstar @wahooitsamee @kelbreyworshipper I thought perhaps you might be interested, so I hope it's okay that I tag you šŸ„° Of course, no worries if you're not! Feel free to ignore this post and please forgive me for bothering you šŸ˜…
Also, I took a bit of inspo from this adorable post that I remember reblogging from my old account. Please have a look if you haven't yet because it's absolutely CUTE šŸ„¹
Without further ado... Let's-a go! ā¤ļø
šŸ‘‘ Peach's wardrobe šŸ‘‘
Princess Peach has a large and varied wardrobe. So far, Mario only remembers seeing her wearing her signature pink dresses, her favorite. She has several that are very similar to each other, with only a few small differences between them, such as puffed sleeves that her summer dress does not have, or an older design in which almost the entire skirt is a darker shade of pink. Peach always appears before him and his subjects wearing one of these outfits as pink is her favorite color, and one that, in Mario's opinion, suits her very well.
Recently, however, Mario has found that his beloved princess has a wide variety of outfits and has decided to start wearing them to visit the various kingdoms that Bowser has taken her to during her kidnapping, now that she finally has the freedom to choose where, when, and with whom to go.
And Mario loves to dress to match her.
The first time they did it, Mario ran into Peach and her friend Tiara almost by accident as she, as brave as ever, explored the lonely Forgotten Isle in an outfit worthy of Indiana Jones himself. Shorts, a backpack on her back, boots prepared for the earthy soil of the place... and her hair in a bun that was hidden under her explorer's cap.
Mario didn't take half a second to run back to his Odyssey ship and put on his own explorer's outfit to join her and continue exploring the island together.
When he met her in New Donk City, Peach was wearing one of Mario's favorite outfits of all the ones he had seen her in so far: a long pink flying skirt that, unlike her dresses, left her feet exposed; a gorgeous white blouse with a scarf around her neck, in a pastel pink shade that matched her pristine skin; and a wide hat over her abundant blonde hair. She looked beautiful and very comfortable, and the best part: she loved the black suit with matching fedora that Mario put on to go with Peachā€™s outfit. She told him he looked very elegant, and Mario thought his smile would overflow on both sides of his face since his cheeks hurt so much.
To him, on the other hand, the one who looked tremendously stylish and graceful was Peach when he met her in Bonneton. Her attire was dark, composed of a grayish coat, black stockings and gloves of the same color, which she combined with a beret that adorned her long hair. Mario kept watching her for a while, unable to help it, and he did the same thing when he met her in Shiveria, since the black and gold of her figure stood out among so much blinding white.
On that occasion, Mario felt that heā€™d never measure up to her with his orange, quilted coat, as opposed to Bonneton, where he was able to look at least a bit elegant with his black tuxedo, his red bow tie and a top hat that gave him the look of a magician. Or, at least, that's what she told him, while letting out a giggle that made Mario think of the softest and sweetest crystal bells.
Tumblr media
Another one of his favorite outfits for the princess was her farmer attire, which was the one she chose to wear to visit the Luncheon Kingdom. Mario wasnā€™t surprised to find her picking turnips to help the locals prepare their famous soup, as it wasnā€™t the first time heā€™d seen her pulling vegetables from the ground. When she saw him dressed in his chef's outfit, she immediately applauded him and prepared to hand over the vegetables to him, thus naming him the official in charge of preparing the delicious best dish of the kingdom.
As for the last three outfits the princess has worn, Mario is unable to choose, as all three have provoked various sensations in him that made him wish he could stare at her forever, without having any other worries or mission to carry out. The Yukata with the fire flower pattern was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of them, a beautiful and lovely vision that gave him back some vitality and joy when he ran into Peach in Bowser's Kingdom. He, as bold as brass, put on his samurai outfit, ready to defend her from any evil, and she, always so demure, covered her face with her hand-held fan to hide a soft giggle. Still, watching her hair pulled back in a ponytail and the Boo-shaped buckle adorning her head, Mario knew heā€™d never measure up to her.
And he felt the same way when, while strolling along Bubblaine Beach and enjoying the coolness of the water with his doggy friend, he found her there, wearing that pretty white sarong adorned with pink power moons, the sunglasses on her blonde head... and that bikini that exposed more porcelain skin than Mario had ever seen. He felt completely ridiculous in his red swimsuit with white polka dots and wanted to sink to the depths of the crystal-clear waters of the kingdom just to prevent her from seeing him like that.
However, that couldn't overcome how stupid and embarrassed Mario felt when, just after rescuing her from Bowser's clutches, he got caught up in an absurd competition with the king of the Koopas to try to get Peach to agree to marry him. They may have both been wearing the perfect outfits, Peach in her beautiful white dress that made her look like an angel and him in his tuxedo of the same color and matching hat.
But Mario realized too late that this was not the right moment.
Still, he is content to have had the opportunity, albeit brief, to stand next to Peach while they both wore what would possibly be their wedding outfits. Mario knows that this will never happen again, that itā€™ll never come true, because the idea of trying to propose again wouldnā€™t even cross his mind. It took him a long time to forgive himself for his huge blunder, even though it took Peach only a few minutes to do so, and heā€™d never be able to be at peace with himself if he bothered her again.
Peach's friendship is very precious to Mario. He loves to meet her on his travels and share a few moments with her, full of fun and trust, which he wishes he could extend in time forever. In addition, on more than one occasion, Peach has asked him to accompany her to Lake Lemonade to make a new dress, and sometimes she has also invited Toad and Luigi. The people there are experts in haute couture, and Mario is always spellbound as he watches Peach pose for the seamstresses, who, in a matter of minutes, are able to create a new dress for her, each one more beautiful than the last.
And, on each occasion, Peach always turns on herself so that the dress can be appreciated in all its splendor, making her look more dazzling than a star and more radiant than the sun itself.
šŸŽˆ Balloon BrothersšŸŽˆ
Shortly after he saved Peach, Mario made two decisions when he continued to travel the kingdoms on his Odyssey ship. The first one was to adopt his loyal doggy friend, the clever Shiba that has helped him find so many power moons during his adventure. He named her Hattie, as she adores wearing a hat on her head no matter where they travel to, and also because her favorite game is chasing after Mario's cap and bring it back to him.
Tumblr media
And the second one, as soon as he ran into Luigi for the first time, was that he'd always play Balloon World with him.
Every world he travels to, whatever his purpose or the mission that takes him there, Mario always has time for his little brother and loves to play Balloon World with him. He adores seeing his sibling so cheerful and excited, and the way he claps and cheers him on always causes Marioā€™s unstoppable energy to soar and his heart to melt with tenderness.
In Fossil Falls, Luigi was so scared of the T-Rex that organizing the game for Mario served as a distraction and a way for him to release some stress, something Mario was extremely relieved about. In Forgotten Isle, the same bird that had captured Cappy was threatening to pop the balloons that kept Luigi in the air and that were an essential part of his outfit as the game organizer, which only motivated Mario to chase the darned bird with the help of his loyal Hattie, until, at last, and to the relief of both brothers and Cappy, he managed to scare it away.
However, as soon as Mario ran into Luigi in the Snow Kingdom, shivering with cold in his shirtsleeves, but still smiling at his brother and inviting him to play while hugging himself, Mario did not hesitate for a moment: he hurried to get rid of his orange coat and, ignoring Luigi's faint protests, threw it over his twin, taking care not to accidentally pop his balloons. Despite his initial reluctance, Luigi couldn't help but close his eyes as he snuggled into the garment, trying to get warm, and Mario, his heart shrinking, hugged him with all his might as he gently rubbed his arms and back. Luigi cuddled up to him and Mario stroked his hair gently, his mind flooded with memories of when they were both little and Luigi would run to hide in his bed because he thought there was a monster under his bed. Sighing as he held his sibling in his arms, trying to shield him from the cold and icy drafts, Mario didn't agree to play until after he had taken Luigi inside his ship to wrap him in a blanket and offer him a hot drink to warm up inside.
Nevertheless, the opposite thing happened in Tostarena: Luigi, always determined to stay true to his original outfit as the game's creator, was too warm for the scorching desert heat. Before playing Balloon World, Mario decided that his little brother needed a change to feel more comfortable. So he grabbed him by the hand and pulled him into the shop. Luigi had to bend down so that his balloons could go in with him, and Mario immediately tried to convince him to, like him, put on a typical costume of the land, poncho and wide hat included, to feel comfier while they played there. His twin resisted a little, always wanting to maintain the elegance a game show host should always display, but when Mario assured him that he could keep his green bow tie, Luigi finally gave in. And, seeing them both in matching outfits, Mario also managed to convince his brother to play Balloon World together, to which Luigi agreed only after gifting him one of his balloons for Mario to wear on his wrist.
And they've done it many more times since then: in Peronza Plaza, in Bonneton, in New Donk City... even on the Moon! Also, whenever they play in the Mushroom Kingdom, the Toads join them and Luigi ends up giving them as many balloons as possible so they can have fun playing on their own, being the kind-hearted person he is.
Of course, Mario is well aware that his sibling knows the locations of the balloons, being the organizer of Balloon World, but he equally enjoys touring the various worlds with his little brother by the hand, dragging him along while Luigi floats after him and simply lets himself go. Marioā€™s heart sings for joy with every laugh that escapes his twinā€™s throat, especially when Hattie also joins the fun and runs with them in search for the balloon, only to pop it as soon as they do. Mario also loves the way Luigi guides him, or often misleads him, to make his search for the balloon easier or more complicated. Mario likes to be challenged by the game and Luigi knows it, so he appreciates it when his brother tries to trick him to divert him from his initial goal. This lengthens the game, as well as the time the brothers spend together, thus increasing the fun.
Tumblr media
However, when it's time to say goodbye, Mario can read in his brother's face that heā€™s just as reluctant to part with him as Mario himself. His complicated missions through the kingdoms and, also, the longing to be reunited with Peach and spend some time with her as well have caused Mario to have to leave his brother's side without really wanting to, his soul screaming in the depths of his being that he should not do so, that he should turn back and return to Luigi's side.
When the same thing happens to him in the Moon Kingdom, Mario finally stops before entering his ship and turns on his heels. He sees Luigi raise his head, confused to see him turn around, and the surprise on his face only grows when Mario starts running towards him, although a little slower than heā€™d like due to the moon's gravity. A smile breaks out on Mario's face as he speeds up as fast as he can, and he stretches out his arms as he approaches his little brother. Luigi barely has time to open his arms as well before Mario pounces on him.
Luigi's gasp causes Mario to burst out laughing as he spins around with his brother in his arms, holding him tightly. It takes him a few seconds to realize that both of them are now floating in the air, propelled not only by Luigi's balloons, but also by the lack of gravity prevailing on the moon. His sibling clings to him as he laughs shyly, and Mario pulls away from him a second before his feet touch down again.
Holding Luigi's hands tightly and energetically, Mario offers him to board his Odyssey ship and accompany him on his travels, so that they can continue playing Balloon World together as his adventure progresses. And, perhaps, Luigi could also help him during their missions, just like in the old days, when they visited faraway realms, such as Piā€™illo Island or the Beanbean Kingdom, and even became partners in time.
As he speaks, Mario is very aware that his eyes are shining, full of excitement. His whole face must be, in fact, as euphoria bubbles up inside him like a river of unstoppable lava. Heā€™s unable to keep completely still, so he inadvertently shakes his hands and, with them, those of his brother, as he explains his idea to him. And his enthusiasm undoubtedly rubs off on his twin, as Mario can read in Luigi's blue eyes, identical to his own, which are filling with a special glow that can only mean he shares Mario's eagerness.
And so it was that the brothers began to travel together.
āœØ The Golden Trio āœØ
In some of their first trips together, when the brothers are about to play Balloon World, Peach meets them and becomes a spectator of their games. Luigi welcomes her with open arms and quickly explains to her what Mario has to do, and while his brother is searching, Luigi reveals in whispers to the princess where the balloon his twin is looking for is hidden.
Although, at first, Mario is a little embarrassed that Peach is going to watch him while he searches, he quickly decides that he must do everything he can to impress her, so he puts more effort into finding the balloon quickly and on his own, despite Hattie's attempts to help him. Whenever he succeeds, Luigi praises him enthusiastically and gives him a big hug, which Mario reciprocates joyfully and heartily. Peach, after applauding him a little more demurely, leans over to place a kiss on his nose, causing Mario's whole face to light up until it looks redder than his shirt. This always happens under the watchful eye of Luigi, who doesn't miss the chance to give his sibling a playful nudge while trying to silence his giggles, causing Mario's blush to increase.
However, the third time Peach meets the brothers, Luigi has the idea of inviting her to participate in the game, which he eagerly puts to her. Both she and Mario are delighted, and Luigi immediately rearranges the game so that Mario and Peach can play in competition against each other.
Of course, respect and friendship prevail in the game. Mario continues to play as usual, but Peach often beats him, as sheā€™s quick and smart, and he can only admire her more and more every time this happens. In fact, heā€™d say that he enjoys the occasions when the princess beats him the most, as he loves to see her so happy and enjoying herself when playing with him. Needless to say, even though Luigi is a most enthusiastic audience, Mario is the one who always applauds Peach the most, which makes her blush, something that doesn't happen to her when she thanks Luigi's compliments.
When the game is preparing to take place for the fifth time since Mario and Peach started playing together, Mario can't help but notice the way his brother is wringing his hands and fiddling with his fingers as he watches them. The game is about to begin, but he can't take his eyes off Luigi. He can read his face like an open book, something that has happened practically since they were born... and he doesn't like what he sees.
It's not that Luigi is sad. He's happy to be with them and eager to see them play Balloon World again. He's ready to cheer them both on and shower them with praise, as always, for, after all, his little brother is one of the sweetest and gentlest people he knows.
However, Mario can see in his gestures, in the way he bites his lower lip, in the way he fiddles with his own hands, in the way his eyes sparkle, that Luigi misses being able to join the game despite knowing the location of the balloons beforehand.
So even though Luigi gives the start command just a second later, Mario doesn't move.
And it pleases him greatly to realize that Peach, next to him, hasn't moved either.
When he turns his face towards her, Peach does the same. Mario barely needs a few seconds to realize that the princess, always as perceptive and as concerned about Luigi as he is, almost as if she were some sort of big sister to him, has also noticed the longing that shines in his little brother's eyes.
The two hold each other's gaze for a moment before smiling determinedly and giving one another a mutual nod. In unison, the two turn to Luigi, who looks from one to the other, his face the spitting image of bewilderment. As he and Peach start walking towards the game organizer, Mario can't help but let out a laugh in anticipation of what's about to happen, and he hears Peach let out a small giggle next to him that only makes his heart swell.
Decisively, they both hold Luigi, each with one hand, and Mario puts his other arm around Luigi's shoulders while Peach wraps her free arm around the younger plumberā€™s back. Luigi doesn't understand anything, but he doesn't resist, since, of course, he trusts them completely. Peach and Mario start walking while dragging him along, and the princess proclaims that, by royal order, Luigi must play Balloon World with them. This finally gets Luigi to relax and even laugh, and Mario feels his little brother squeeze his hand as he and the princess laugh together.
For a moment, Mario simply watches them. His heart fills with joy whenever he sees them getting along so well. He loves that Luigi has found in Peach a friend he can trust and be himself with, and he loves that the princess, in each of their interactions, shows that she truly cares about Luigi's well-being and wants only the best for him.
And he just loves them both so much that his heart could burst.
He couldnā€™t live without either of them.
When the game concludes, shortly before the brothers return to the Odyssey ship, Mario summons the courage to offer Peach to join them. That way, the three of them could travel together, keep each other company and help one another in their adventures, and theyā€™ll always have the chance to play Balloon World together.
As he speaks, however, it occurs to Mario that perhaps he should have consulted Luigi before inviting Peach, so he throws a sidelong glance at his brother to try to apologize to him without words.
But Luigi, ever so sweet and kind, ever the man with the purest heart, is nodding eagerly as he hears his brother speak, and as soon as Mario concludes, Luigi turns to Peach and takes her hands while expressing how much heā€™d love for her to join them. Mario can't and won't hold back the look of intense love and adoration he gives his twin as he talks to the princess. Who, of course, gladly accepts.
Thus, Mario, Luigi and Peach, accompanied by the inseparable and always loyal Hattie, Cappy and Tiara, embark on the Odyssey to a new world. And, as they travel, the three of them look out the window, Mario and Luigi with their hands on the glass and looking at the clouds with excitement, and the princess, with a hand resting on the shoulder of each of the brothers as she joins in their excitement at the sight they are contemplating.
Their adventure has only just begun.

a/n: boring title booo i know i know i couldn't think of anything better :( i do hope you like the one shot tho it was fun to write about jealous jude <3
Tumblr media
you were getting ready to go out on a date with jude while he was laying on your bed waiting for you. his phone was charging somewhere in the living room so you gave him yours to play a game so he doesnā€™t get bored. you were putting on your makeup while singing along to your playlist while he was building some villages or whatever it was that they do on clash royale. however, jude got distracted when an instagram dm pop up at the top of your phone, it was from this formula 1 driver that he knew was always liking your pictures, he didnā€™t knew he was dming you as well. he thought about opening the message, but he didnā€™t want to invade your privacy like that, so he simply looked at you.
ā€œsomeone dm you.ā€ he says.
his voice took you out of your little world and you place your gaze on him thought the mirror you were applying your makeup on.
ā€œwho?ā€
ā€œlando norris.ā€ he reads the name like he didnā€™t knew already.
ā€œwhat does it say?ā€ you hide a laugh and continue with your makeup routine.
jude opens the message and reads it out loud. it was obvious he was hitting on you by replying to a story you had posted earlier that day when you went to brunch with your friends and you felt cute.
ā€œare you gonna answer?ā€ he asks again, hints of jealousy on voice.
ā€œnot really, no.ā€ you answer and go back to singing along and applying mascara on.
when jude goes back to the screen on your phone his thumb accidentally swipes left and your whole inbox is completely exposed to him. he didnā€™t meant to do that, but it really was an accident and he couldnā€™t help but see now that it was there, only he wished he didnā€™t have.
some of your dms were just conversations with your friends, but a lot of them were just guys replying to your stories and hitting on you, which made him even more jealous than before. you never replied to them, going as far as deleting some of the messages you received, but since you hadnā€™t checked your instagram since that afternoon a lot of dms from different guys complimenting you on your story were there for jude to find.
he frowns at the phone and takes a look at you, completely oblivious while doing your eyeliner. his eyes go back to the screen and he starts looking up some pictures that you took the week before of you two.
ā€œdo you mind if i post one of those pictures you took of us last week?ā€ he asks out of nowhere. ā€œso i can repost it on my story.ā€ he clarifies.
you frown a bit confused because this is the first time he has asked you something like this, but after him seeing the other guyā€™s dm and feeling a bit jealous you connected the dots and smile amused.
ā€œsure.ā€ you say.
he nods and went to post a story with the two of you looking definitely like the couple you were. he spend a few seconds thinking about a good caption, landing on a simple ā€œmy boyfriendā¤ļøā€, very straight to the point. he also tagged himself big enough for everyone to see and posted the picture, a satisfied smile on his face.
when you were done with your makeup and ready to go, you approached him and sat on his lap, your phone still in his hand.
ā€œlet me see the picture.ā€ you smiled. he shows you the story and you rolled your eyes, a bit amused at his possessiveness. ā€œwas that really necessary?ā€ you point at the text and he just shrugs.
ā€œi just feel like thereā€™s a lot of people that don't know weā€™re together, you know? just wanna put it out there.ā€ you nod, fighting the smile on your face and putting your arms around him.
ā€œis that so?ā€ you tease him, getting closer to him if that was even possible.
ā€œyeah, lots of guys on your dms.ā€ he confess. ā€œthey liked your selfie earlier.ā€
ā€œhmm.ā€ you answer. ā€œi wouldnā€™t know about that, i only like one guy.ā€ a treacherous smile takes over his lips and you take the opportunity to kiss him. ā€œwanna go? weā€™ll be late to dinner.ā€
jude just nods and gets out of bed, never dropping your hand for a second.

spilling secrets on stream | LN4
what better place to hard launch a relationship than twitch?
word count: 1.3k
warnings: none!
author's note: it's been so fun thinking up little story ideas and this is the product of one of them. fair warning that it's been forever since i've played fortnite so probably not very accurate when it comes to that šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø thank youuu for reading and have a great day!!
also my requests are open if you would like to see a certain story/driver!! šŸ«¶
Tumblr media
ā€œHi guys, sorry Iā€™m late,ā€ Lando said, adjusting his headphones as he started the stream. There were a surprising number of people online for this Thursday afternoon, but he had posted on his story that Max would be joining him, so that could explain the popularity. Not that he would ever tell him that.Ā 
ā€œMax is joining now.ā€ He stretched his arms over his head, smirking when the chat quickly noticed the sliver of skin heā€™d exposed in the simple motion. Oops. ā€œIs Max with you right now? No, chat, Iā€™m in Monaco. Howā€™s offseason? Itā€™s good. Iā€™ve been doing a whole lot of nothing.ā€Ā 
Lando read through and answered a couple more questions until Maxā€™s face popped up on his screen.Ā 
ā€œHello hello,ā€ Max said, waving to the camera. ā€œHow are we, chat? What are we playing?ā€Ā 
After a couple minutes of debate, they decided on Fortnite. The first round was short lived- Lando got shot pretty much immediately. Now, him and Max were two of ten players remaining, but the sound of the front door opening caused him to turn his focus away from the game.Ā 
ā€œy/n?ā€ Lando called out after muting himself, turning away from the screen to see if his girlfriend had just arrived home.Ā 
ā€œBro, what are you doing?ā€ Max protested, his character running circles around Landoā€™s still one. Two other characters spotted them over a nearby hill and started firing immediately, with Max left alone to defend them. ā€œYou muppet!ā€ Within seconds, Lando had died, and Max didnā€™t have enough time to resuscitate him in the midst of defending himself.Ā 
ā€œMy bad.ā€ Lando turned back to the screen, laughing at Maxā€™s distress.Ā 
ā€œThat was entirely your fault.ā€ Max responded, pausing to look at his phone alert from Lando.Ā 
I think y/n just got back and she doesnā€™t know Iā€™m on stream. Can you stay on until I get back?Ā 
Even though Lando and his girlfriend were practically living together at this point, staying at each otherā€™s homes almost every night during the offseason, they were yet to make it official in the eyes of the public. Max knew this better than everyone- often having to cover for the couple when they werenā€™t cautious enough- and smirked as he typed back a yes. Lando took that as a sign to communicate his exit. ā€œBe right back, chat. Donā€™t be too mean to Max while Iā€™m gone.ā€Ā 
He opened and shut the door to the room behind him, padding down the soft carpet runner of the hallway. ā€œy/n?ā€ Her bright pink trainers were by the front door, and seeing as he could hear the shower down the hall, she mustā€™ve just come back from a run.Ā 
All of a sudden, music started blasting- a Doja Cat song, Lando knew from y/n's time on the aux whenever they were in the car together.Ā 
ā€œy/n,ā€ Lando laughed, knocking on the bathroom door, ā€œIā€™m on stream darling.ā€ It wasnā€™t that he minded the noise, or that the chat would know very quickly that there was a girl in his house (he wasnā€™t really the Doja Cat type). If it were up to him, he wouldā€™ve posted y/n the day they had made it official, four months ago. But theyā€™d decided to wait a bit and enjoy the privacy.Ā 
No response still. He tried the bathroom door handle but it was locked. She mustā€™ve not known he was coming home, Lando thought cheekily to himself. Otherwise, it wouldā€™ve been open. He gave up and retreated back to the room with his setup, shooting a quick text over to y/n that he was home.Ā 
Lando settled back into his chair, turning the camera on. ā€œAlright, chat, Iā€™m back. Sorry to leave you with Max.ā€Ā 
Max raised an eyebrow at the music that filtered in through Landoā€™s mic, choosing not to comment on it. The chat wasnā€™t as sly though, with every other comment questioning the source.Ā 
ā€œDidnā€™t know Lando was a Doja Cat fan. Iā€™m not.ā€ The ambiguous comment sparked even more questions, and Lando just shook his head jokingly as they started another game. As he died for a third time, Max cursing and threatening to find someone better to play with, the music cut and the distant sound of the shower running stopped.Ā 
ā€œLando?ā€ y/n called out, freezing as she read over his text in the hallway. Landoā€™s eyes widened and he quickly muted himself, sliding his headphones off. As he stood up he heard y/n's footsteps nearing the door and managed to shut the camera off just in time.Ā 
Lando pulled open the door and the scent of coconut and hibiscus floated in. y/n looked up at him with wide eyes in sweatpants and a stolen Quadrant t-shirt, her hair still wet from the shower.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m sorry! I didnā€™t realize that you were streaming.ā€ She peeked over his shoulder and her eyes widened at the rapidly scrolling chat, the viewers going crazy about the distinctly female voice theyā€™d overheard. Max had given up at pretending to ignore them and had shut off his camera as well, only adding to the viewers assumptions.Ā 
He pulled her into a hug, mumbling ā€œYou smell good.ā€ into her hair as a way of greeting. She wrapped her arms around his waist and squeezed tightly, rocking back and forth.Ā 
ā€œDid they hear me?ā€Ā 
ā€œYeah.ā€ They shuffled over to the computer together, her almost afraid to read the chat that was still scrolling at a million miles a minute. Lando read out one comment that said ā€œcan Landoā€™s girlfriend fight?ā€ and raised a questioning eyebrow at the girl next to him.Ā 
ā€œHeck yeah. Look at these muscles. Try me.ā€ She bounced back and forth on her heels, hands up in a boxing stance.
Lando laughed at her, locking her in a headlock that she quickly wiggled out of. ā€œNot fair,ā€ she whined. ā€œCaught me by surprise.ā€Ā 
He pulled her in front of him to straighten out the locks of hair heā€™d mussed, and kissed her forehead before looking down at her. ā€œWhat if we told them about us right now?ā€Ā 
ā€œYou think?ā€ She worried her bottom lip between her teeth, and he ran a gentle thumb over it to get her to stop.Ā 
ā€œI think theyā€™re going to love you as much as I do.ā€ She leaned into him at that statement, and he watched her eyes as she seemed to process his statement.Ā 
ā€œAlright,ā€ she still looked hesitant, but brightened up as she opened her mouth to speak again. ā€œIā€™m already wearing the right shirt and everything.ā€Ā 
ā€œQuadrants #1 fan.ā€ He smiled, pulling her over to the computer. They split the chair so that both of them could sit, and she draped her legs comfortably over his. He rested one hand on her thigh, using the other to restart the stream. ā€œReady?ā€Ā 
She nodded, and all of a sudden they were back online.Ā 
ā€œHi, chat.ā€ Lando smiled, laughing as the comments started pouring in. ā€œIā€™ve been meaning to introduce you to someone. This is my girlfriend, y/n.ā€Ā 
ā€œHi, everyone,ā€ y/n said, sporting a smile to match her boyfriendā€™s. ā€œHow are you doing?ā€Ā 
ā€œFinally.ā€ Max let out a sigh, clicking his camera back on.Ā 
ā€œThanks for covering for us, Max.ā€ The trio sat and talked for a little bit, y/n answering questions for her from the chat that Lando pointed out every once in a while. They eventually turned the game back on, y/n holding her own and often outranking Max and Lando. In the midst of waiting for a new game to load, Lando wrapped an arm around her waist, squeezing her side.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m so glad I get to show you off now.ā€

I wanna see whatā€™s Aceā€™s familyā€™s reaction when they found out Ace is dating reader Heheheh
I decided to have only Ace's brother present, since Mr. and Mrs. Trappola have yet to receive strong characterization.
Family means Nobody is Left Behind or Forgotten.
Tumblr media
The Trappola brothers sat across from one another upon red velvet chairs, and you, between them. They were both intently focused on building a house of playing cardsā€”a task that Ace had warned took ā€œserious patience, coordination, and a gentle touch.ā€ (You had rolled your eyes and responded, ā€œGreat. You let me know when youā€™ve found someone that has all that.ā€)
Ace carefully laid a Two of Spades down, formed a triangle with a Three of Clubs and a Four of Diamonds. His hand slowly retreated, and the triangle stayed. He expelled a sigh, directed away from the cards so as to not disturb them.
You would have clapped for him, but Ace had discouraged you before the game had even started. So instead, you tapped your index and middle fingers together. Still giving applause, but not nearly enough to rattle the house of cards.
ā€œYour move.ā€
ā€œHuh, youā€™ve gotten better at this,ā€ his brother mused. He toyed with an Ace of Hearts, expertly twirling it between dexterous fingers. ā€œToo bad. I was really looking forward to smoking you in front of your new friend.ā€
ā€œIn your dreams,ā€ Ace sneered, passing you a glance. ā€œThe last thing Iā€™d want is to look uncool in front of my partner.ā€
His brother drew himself up in his seat. The card in his hand, stilling. ā€œYour partner? Since when were you two a thing?ā€
ā€œOh, you knowā€¦ since a while ago,ā€ Ace casually replied. ā€œAnd honestly, I canā€™t really blameā€™m. Who wouldnā€™t fall for my dashing good looks and roguish charm? Iā€™m a catch!ā€
His brother regarded you with an almost pitying look. ā€œItā€™s not too late to change your mind,ā€ he advised.
You burst into laughter. "I think I'm good. Ace is an idiot, but he's at least my idiot."
He raised an eyebrow. "So you've got a sense of humor. You'll need that if you're going to put up with Ace all of the time. Congrats, you passed the first test."
"Whaddya mean 'put up with' me?!" Ace protested, puffing up his cheeks. A pout--adorable, you think.
"I mean it exactly how I said it. It's practically a full-time job dealing with you," his brother replied cheekily. "You gotta prepare people for it, or else they won't know what they've signed up for."
"Oh, come on! You're making me sound way worse than I actually am."
"This, coming from the guy who ghosted his ex?" He smirked, and you could see the family resemblance in it. The slight narrowing of the eyes, the way his mouth angled. "I dunno, I was half expecting you to stay single forever after that royal screw-up, lil' bro. You're lucky you found someone willing to take you~"
Pink exploded onto Ace's cheeks. "H-Hey...!" he hissed, leaning toward his brother. "Did you seriously have to bring that up?! Have a little more tact, will ya?!"
The older Trappola grinned. "Gotcha."
You realized why.
Ace's sudden movement had sent a slight breeze against the card house. It wobbled from top to bottom--then the structure collapsed in on itself, the cards all folding into one another. Within seconds, the house was a pile on the coffee table.
Ace fell to his knees with a pathetic wail, scrambling to salvage his hard work. His brother looked on, chuckling. A card, still in his hand.
"I didn't place mine yet," he declared triumphantly, "and since you made the house fall, it's technically my win!"
"Y-You sneaky...! You taunted me on purpose!!"
"Yeah, and it worked like a charm." He flicked Ace on the forehead. "You were too busy trying to flex in front of your S/O. It was easy to take advantage of that. You always were a cocky, predictable brat."
"Grrrrr..!!"
"Ace, it's fine," you soothed him, a hand on his arm. "You did your best. It doesn't change how I feel about you."
"Tch, there you go being all sappy again... You're so lame sometimes," Ace grumbled--but he covered your hand with his. A small gesture, but a reassuring one.
"Hahah, look at you two lovebirds," his brother teased, wagging a finger at you. Then he reached out and roughly ruffled Ace's hair, despite his complaints and attempts to swat him away. "Happy for you though, lil' bro! You gotta tell me how this love story started--"

we say weā€™re different but we got the same eyes - r.c
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: bitchy!pogue!reader x rafe
Tumblr media
you needed to stop taking other people shiftā€™s.Ā 
itā€™s not like you wanted to, but at least they were paying you to do so, enough to let you actually chill this summer without stressing about rent or whatever else adulthood decided to throw at you.
all you had to do was show up and do the job. first at lilaā€™s dinner, now at the bougie country club, as a cart girl.
youā€™d done this before, and sure, the old men were always a little too handsy with their beer guts hanging over their tacky polos, but at least they tipped well. you could tolerate them. smile, giggle at their half-assed jokes, and let them feel like they still had it.Ā 
fine. pay me for my pain, grandpa.Ā 
today however, instead of your usual sugar-daddy wannabes, you were babysitting frat boys. fresh out of their first year of college, probably still hungover from their last keg stand.
nineteen-year-old idiots in pastel shorts and backwards hats, making everything about themselves.
ā€œbro, you remember that party at kappa? dude, swear i blacked out after like, five shots.ā€
wow, five whole shots?Ā congrats, you absolute child. should i get you a sticker for that?
donā€™t even get started on their conversations about girls. one of them, chad or brad or whatever his stupid name was, just had to loudly detail how some poor innocent girl ā€œtotally wanted him last night but was playing hard to get.ā€
yeah, bro,Ā she was probably just trying to get through the night without having to mace your entitled ass.
it was constant. the whole damn morning. all they talked about was frat parties, girls they didnā€™t deserve, and how they "couldnā€™t wait to get back to school."
you'd give anything to remind them how utterly irrelevant their frat status was in the real world, but you couldnā€™t. nope. you had to keep your game face on, pour their drinks, and pretend like they werenā€™t giving you a headache that rivaled your worst hangovers.
at least the elderly snobs tipped well. sure, they were pretentious and acted like you were beneath them, but they'd slip you a twenty or more with a smug little wink. that made it easier to tolerate their "iā€™ve been golfing here since before you were born" bullshit.
but these brats?
half the time they forgot to tip at all, and when theyĀ didĀ remember, it was a crumpled five like they were doing you some grand favor. and of course,Ā of course,Ā they couldnā€™t just keep their obnoxious, beer-breath comments to themselves. no, they had to make it worse by hitting on youā€”hard.Ā 
painfullyĀ hard. it was like watching a car crash in slow motion, except instead of pulling over to help, you were stuck right in the middle, praying someone would just tow your ass out.
ā€œyo, whatā€™s your name again?ā€ one of them asks. bryce, probably. his face justĀ screamsĀ bryce.
he's leaning against the cart like he thinks it's going to make him look cool, but really, heā€™s just sloshing his drink all over the place. classy.
ā€œitā€™s on my name tag,ā€ you deadpan, pointing to the little badge pinned to your polo. you're not about to give him any more than that.
but he's not letting it go. ā€œoh yeah? cute name for a cute girl. you single or what?ā€
jesus christ.Ā here we go.
you resist the urge to roll your eyes so hard theyā€™d get stuck in the back of your head.Ā 
ā€œā€™m here to work,ā€ you sigh, voice sweet enough to mask the absoluteĀ disdainĀ you're feeling. you know what comes next.
they always think they can charm you if they just keep going, like you are some kind of challenge.
ā€œcā€™mon, donā€™t be like that,ā€ another one chimes in, this one wearing sunglasses even though it's barely 9 a.m.
who do you think you are,Ā pitbull?Ā 
he gives you this sleazy grin like he thinks he's smoother than he actually is. ā€œwe could take you out after your shift. grab a drink. bet youā€™re fun, huh?ā€
fun? FUN?! if by fun he means fantasizing about driving this cart straight into the water hazard just to escape this conversation, then sure, you're a real blast.
you look around the course, hoping maybe one of the older golfers needs a refill or somethingā€”anything to get you away from this nightmare. no luck. it's just you and theseĀ clowns.
ā€œi donā€™t date customers,ā€ you say, a line youā€™d perfected at this point.
you plaster on your fakest smile, the kind that saidĀ please tip me and then leave me the hell alone. but bryce wasnā€™t giving up.
ā€œyouā€™re really gonna turn us down? i mean, weā€™re the best thing on this course right now.ā€
best thing?
the only thing they're the best at seems to be embarrassing themselves.Ā thisĀ is the type of guy who probably thinks buying a girl a drink meant she owns him something.
you can't even be mad; it's almost... sad.Ā almost.
ā€œmaybe you should focus on your game,ā€ you suggest, glancing at his scorecard. ā€œyouā€™re, what, ten over par already?ā€
that shuts him up real quick, his face going from cocky to confused like he didn't expect you to know how golf worked.
his friend with the sunglasses? he's still trying.
ā€œwe can show you a good time, yā€™know. weā€™ve got a house down on the beach. you like boats?ā€
ah, yes.Ā the boat move.Ā the go-to for guys who think a half-assed yacht and a cooler full of cheap beer is the height of luxury.
youā€™d seen it a million times in this godforsaken town.
you're not impressed.
you shoot them another smile, ā€œi like tips.ā€
they all blink confusedly, clearly not used to a girl calling them out so directly. the frat boys mumble something between themselves, looking awkward for the first time all day.
finally, one of them fishes a crumpled twenty out of his pocket and tosses it your way.Ā 
oh, wow, big spender.Ā 
you scoop it up, shoving it into your pocket and giving them a little nod. ā€œthanks, boys. good luck with your game.ā€
you thought the twenty bucks mightā€™ve bought you a few minutes of peace, but no. they're back at it, swinging at golf balls like they aren't trying to flirt in between their awful shots.
you roll the cart over to the next part of the course, half-listening to their constant chatter.
something about ā€œlast semesterā€ this, and ā€œpledge partyā€ that. god, they justĀ never stop. it's like someone hit the repeat button on the worldā€™s most annoying playlist.
one of them calls you over again, like he can't wait five minutes for his next drink. you start prepping them, half tuning them out, just trying to get through it, when suddenly,Ā miraculously, they shut the hell up.
for a second, you think maybe the universe is finally doing you a favor. you don't even question it, just start pouring drinks faster.
a quiet frat boy is a gift. but then you hear it:
ā€œdude!ā€ one of them practically tackles the other, all wide-eyed and hyped up like a little kid who just saw his favorite cartoon character. ā€œis thatĀ rafe fucking cameron?!ā€
oh, for fuckā€™s sake.
your stomach drops. ofĀ courseĀ it has to be him. because clearly, your morning isn't being shitty enough. you don't even look at first.Ā 
one of the guys starts flipping out, hitting his buddyā€™s shoulder like it's the coolest thing to ever happen.
ā€œbro, no way.Ā no way.Ā thatā€™s rafe cameron? he used to be the president of our frat, man. two years ago! heā€™s a fucking legend!ā€
legend?Ā you almost laugh.
the only legend rafe is to you it's a legendary asshole. a smug, infuriating,Ā gorgeousĀ asshole who you have been avoiding like the plague. the same one who has been blowing up your phone nonstop, trying to get back into your life.
the same one you swore down youā€™d never sleep with again after he pulled that stunt at the dinnerā€”and then, of course, ended up in his bed two nights ago. you haven't spoken to him since. youā€™d been ignoring him againā€”well,Ā tryingĀ toā€”but now here he is. in the flesh. and these idiots are drooling over him like he's some kind of frat god.
you turn your head, and he's striding across the green like he doesn't have a care in the world.Ā of courseĀ he looks good. he always does.
wayfarerā€™s pushed up in his hair, that cocky-ass grin on his face, wearing a polo like he's the face of a country club catalog. you know heā€™d see you any second. hell, he probably already has.Ā 
yeah, youā€™d been avoiding him, and yeah, maybe youā€™d blocked his number twice, but that didnā€™t stop him from calling with a different one.Ā orĀ from somehow finding you the other night at the party when you were weak enough to let him back in, only to get burned again.
ā€œholy shit, heā€™s coming this way,ā€ one of the frat boys mutters, shaking with excitement.
you don't move, don't acknowledge him. but you can feel his eyes on you. it's like a sixth sense at this point. you'd crave it so much before, when it was all a silly game in your head, see how much you could push until he cracked and gave into you. now it's a curse.
the boys are watching him approach like he's some kind of celebrity.
ā€œshould we say something to him?ā€ one whispers. ā€œi heard heā€™s like, killing it in the business world now. familyā€™s loaded.ā€
yeah,Ā you think bitterly.Ā killing it. if you count being a trust fund brat as an accomplishment.
rafe's closer now, and you know this moment is inevitable. the frat boys are giddy, already nudging each other, probably ready to beg him for networking advice or whatever the hell frat bros did.
you keep your eyes down, focusing on pouring the drinks, acting like you don't even notice him.Ā like he doesn't phase you in the slightest.
ā€œhey,ā€ a familiar voice drawls. you don't have to lift your head to know it's him.Ā naturally,Ā he stops right by you. because why wouldnā€™t he?
ā€œrafe fucking cameron!ā€ one of the guys yells, unable to keep it together anymore. ā€œyouā€™re like a legend, man. kappa forever!ā€
you never cringed so hard in your life.
rafe smirks, that signature look spreading across his face. ā€œyeah, somethin' like that.ā€
you clench your jaw, forcing yourself to keep your face neutral. no way in hell are you about to give him the satisfaction of knowing how much he still gets to you.Ā 
everyone else around you are tripping over their words just to get his attention. it's embarrassing to watch. the kids acting like he's some kind of messiah, not just some white rich guy with a trust fund and a bad attitude half the time.
ā€œman, the outer banks is fucking sick,ā€ one of them says, bouncing on his feet like an overexcited puppy. ā€œweā€™ve been hitting the beaches, bars, yā€™know, living it up. and bro, the girls here?Ā smoking hot.ā€
here we go.Ā 
you pretend to be very invested in the cooler, rearranging the ice just to keep your hands busy. they're about to start pointing at you any second now; you can sense it.
the way they keep looking over at you made it obvious they're gearing up for something.
and then, like clockwork, it happens.
ā€œyeah, man,ā€ one of them gestures way too enthusiastically in your direction. ā€œthat cart girl over there? weā€™ve been trying all morning.ā€
oh, fuck right off,Ā you resist the urge to throw a bottle at him.
youā€™d rather die than hear what lame pickup line is coming next, but what youĀ reallyĀ don't want to hear is whatever rafe's about to say.
there was a pause, as if he's taking a second to let it sink in. and when he finally does speak, his voice is all smooth confidence, casual as anything.
ā€œso,ā€ he starts, still with smirk you hate and know so well, ā€œyouā€™ve met my girl?ā€
my girl?Ā my fucking girl?
one of them, manages to stammer, ā€œuhā€”wait, sheā€™sā€¦ sheā€™s your girl?ā€
you can feel the tension creeping up the back of your neck. this's exactly why youā€™ve been avoiding him.
no matter what happened between you, no matter how messy things got, he always acted like he owned you in private. never in front of his friends, like just because you ended up in his bed, you were his to claim whenever he felt like it.
still keeping your eyes glued to the drinks, you feel your blood boil. you aren't his fucking girl. you're barely on speaking terms, aside from that oneĀ weakĀ moment.
he's only saying it to mess with you.
one of the frat boys lets out a low whistle, clearly impressed. ā€œdamn, man. didnā€™t know you were still pulling like that.ā€ he shoots a glance at you again, not even bothering to hide the once-over.
rafe just chuckles, that low, infuriating laugh of his, like he knows exactly how to get under your skin. ā€œwhat can i say?ā€ he drawls, as if the whole thing is just a game to him. ā€œguess iā€™ve still got it.ā€
you're this closeā€”this closeā€”to snapping. you can feel your fists clenching at your sides. you're not giving him the satisfaction of a reaction. not here. not in front of these frat boys who're still looking at you like some kind of trophy.
rafeā€™s voice is closer now. you don't have to look up to know he's standing right by the cart.
ā€œyou good over there?ā€ he asks, that fake casual tone still lingering.
you don't answer. just kept doing your job, biting the inside of your cheek so hard it hurts. but he isn't going to let it go. he never did when he wanted to prove a point.
ā€œhey, baby.ā€ he greets you again, leaning in slightly. you can feel his eyes burning into the side of your face. ā€œyou gonna pretend you donā€™t know me now?ā€
you take a deep breath, finally turning to face him. he's standing way too close, sunglasses pushed up on his head, that stupid expression plastered across his face.
the frat boys are all watching, wide-eyed, like they just stumbled onto some kind of reality show drama.
ā€œyouā€™re funny, cameron.ā€ the guys all exchange glances, clearly picking up on the tension but too dumb to understand it, ā€œcan you guys give us a minute?ā€
one of them pipes up with an awkward laugh, ā€œwait, but weā€”ā€
you don't let him finish. ā€œone. minute.ā€Ā 
they finally catch on that it isn't a request and before they can awkwardly protest or ask why, rafe tilts his head towards them, craning his neck just enough to raise a single brow. the change in his posture is subtle but enough to have them clamming up instantly.
like magic, their frat-boy bravado melts right off. it's wild how fast a bunch of college boys can shrink under the gaze of someone like him.
the power trip theyā€™ve been riding for the last hour stop.
ā€œuh, yeah, you know what?ā€ one of them coughs out, backing up so fast he almost trips over his golf bag. ā€œwe should, uhā€¦ weā€™ll hit the bathroom. real quick.ā€
ā€œyeah, yeah, weā€™ll be right back,ā€ another one adds, practically stumbling over himself to follow.
they scatter like scared puppies, tails tucked between their legs, and you can't help the small, satisfied smirk that twitches at the corner of your mouth.
finally,Ā a moment of peace.
except, it's not peace. not with rafe standing there.Ā 
as soon as the frat boys are out of earshot, you spin around, without thinking, you shove him in the chest with both hands, hard enough to catch him off guard. he stumbles back a step, his face twisting into a look of surprise.
"are you fucking crazy?" you snap, "do you not get the fucking hint, country club? i donā€™t want this. i donā€™t want you here, and i sure as hell donā€™t want your bullshit claims that ā€™mĀ your girlĀ in front of those idiots. leave. me. alone.ā€
he steadies himself, raising both hands as if trying to calm you down. ā€œā€™m trying to be better, okay? ā€™m trying. i apologized the other night, didnā€™t i? ā€™mā€”ā€
ā€œno, you didnā€™t!ā€ you look at him like he's the dumbest man on earth, cutting him off, your hands balled into fists at your sides. ā€œyou didnā€™t apologize! you said i was overreacting, that i was being ā€˜dramatic.ā€™ then, you fucked me and acted like that made it all better.ā€
his jaw tightens, and he takes a deep breath as he glances around the mostly empty golf course before his eyes move back to you, his voice low but firm. "thatā€™s not how i meant itā€”"
ā€œyou always have an excuse,ā€ you interrupt, stepping closer, not backing down. ā€œevery time, itā€™s the same thing. you think a half-assed apology or a night in bed makes up for the way you treat me in public?Ā like ā€˜m just someĀ thingĀ you get to claim whenever you feel like it?"
he visibly recoils at the word you chose, like it hurts him, ā€œi know,ā€ he finally mutters ā€œi know i was a dick at that dinner. but ā€™m trying, okay? iā€™ve been calling you, texting youā€”ā€
ā€œi didnā€™t ask. am i that good in bed? go find someone else.ā€
rafeā€™s hand flies up to pinch the bridge of his nose, a frustrated sigh escaping him. he draggs his tongue against his cheek. his voice coming out clipped, ā€œi donā€™t want someone else,ā€ he grunts out, sounding more exasperated than ever. ā€œjesus fucking christ.ā€
you let out a laugh, stepping back, eyes rolling.
ā€œoh, right. thatā€™s it? ā€™m really that good in bed, huh? thatā€™s why youā€™re here?ā€ you cross your arms, your tone biting, daring him to say otherwise. ā€œthatā€™s all this has ever been, right? physical. you donā€™t call unless you want something. so what now? why are you trying so hard? what the hell are you trying for?ā€
he doesn't respond right away, his fingers are digging into the bridge of his nose like he's trying to hold himself together. the silence continues, and you can see him wrestling with his words. he's never been the type to say what he was feeling.
everything is buried under layers of cocky bravado, that impenetrable wall he put up to keep everyone at armā€™s length. including you.
finally, he dropps his hand and takes a step closer, his voice coming out rough like he's forcing the words out. ā€œā€™m here because i donā€™t want someone else. i wantĀ you, alright? can you just get that through your fucking head?ā€
you scoff, ā€œbecause i know you and wonā€™t get attached?ā€
he snaps, raising his voice, ā€œno! fuck, itā€™s not that simple.ā€
"not that simple?" your hands are shaking, and you accidentally knock over one of the bottles youā€™d been holding before, sending it tumbling to the ground. you don't bother picking it up.
ā€œitā€™s pretty fucking simple. weā€™re just fucking. so, tell me, whatĀ exactlyĀ is complicated about that? you call, i come over, we have sex, and thatā€™s it. so why the fuck do you start ignoring me in public like ā€™m some kind of fucking disease?ā€
rafe opens his mouth, but you don't spare him the chance to speak, you're on a roll, months of pent-up frustration.Ā 
ā€œi donā€™t give a fuck if youā€™re with someone else, rafe!ā€ you can hear the bitterness dripping from every word. you're practically spitting them out, ā€œwhat pisses me off is that you had the audacityā€”the fuckingĀ nerveā€”to ask me to stay that night. do you know how fucking stupid i felt? how the fuck do you think i felt when you acted like i didnā€™t exist the next day?ā€
you can feel your hands trembling again, the adrenaline making you shaky, cursing under your breath.
ā€œfor once, i wasĀ niceĀ enough to care about you, to stay, and thatā€™s the shit you pulled. treated me like a ghost. like i was nothing.ā€
he just stands there, staring at you, his jaw tight, but he doesn't say a word. his face is hard to read, but you don't care about his feelings. you're not done yet.
ā€œi was fine with the sex. i was fine with leaving afterwards and then you had to go and fuck it all over.ā€
rafeā€™s blue eyes flash, and you can see the realization hit him, like he's connecting the dots too fast for your liking.
his brows furrow as he breathes out, ā€œwait. youā€™re mad at me because i made youā€”ā€ he hesitates, like the word is foreign in his mouth, ā€œcareĀ for me?ā€
you let out a harsh, bitter laugh. ā€œoh, for fuck's sake, country club. don't flatter yourself.ā€
ā€œyou always do that shit,ā€ he points out, stepping closer ā€œyou never call me by my name when weā€™re having a serious conversation. it's almost like youā€™re running away.ā€
you arch an eyebrow, incredulous. ā€œare you delusional? youā€™re the one acting like a child.ā€
ā€œā€™m not being delusional. you only say my name in my room when itā€™s just the two of us.ā€ he leans in slightly, lowering his voice as if he's trying to keep this moment between you, his blue eyes lock onto yours making your stomach twist.Ā ā€œā€™m clearly not the only one whoā€™s pretending here; youā€™re just as bad.ā€
you feel the heat rush to your cheeks as you walk back, trying to create space, but he closes the distance with easy confidence.
ā€œpretending? please. ā€˜m not the one playing house in my bedroom while acting like i donā€™t know you outside of it.ā€
rafe lets out a low, frustrated groan, running his hand through his hair like he's close to losing it.Ā 
ā€œgod, youā€™re fucking infuriating,ā€ he mutters, voice gruff, ā€œyou think i donā€™t fucking feel it too? youā€™re the only one pissed off, the only one confused?ā€ his voice dipps lower in frustration. ā€œi canā€™t stop thinking about you, no matter how hard i try. "
ā€œoh, boo-fucking-hoo,ā€ you mocked back, ā€œmust be so hard, huh? being obsessed with a girl you canā€™t even respect in public.ā€
his hand reaches out to grab your wrist. you gasp, not out of fear but because the heat of his touch awakes the resting butterflies in your stomach. you hate how much your skin reacts to him, how just the feel of his grip makes your brain go foggy and shut down.
ā€œiĀ doĀ respect you,ā€ he growls, as if you just insulted him, ā€œi justā€”fuck.ā€ his eyes dart between yours, as if searching for something. then, like clockwork, he points at your work uniformā€”the stupid polo and that absurdly short skirt that's practically a sin in itself.
ā€œthis,ā€ he grits out, fingers gesturing to the tight polo that does absolutely nothing but make your boobs look way too inviting, ā€œis not okay.ā€
you blink, pretending to be unaffected, but his words have a way of crawling under your skin.
ā€œoh, right,ā€ you nod sarcastically, even though your pulse has kicked up a notch. ā€œblame my uniform, like thatā€™s the reason you canā€™t keep your hands to yourself.ā€
rafe groans like you're causing him actual physical pain, his hands gripping the edge of the golf cart now, knuckles turning white.
ā€œshit, yeah, iā€™ll blame the uniform,ā€ he says, eyes blazing as he corners you. ā€œthat tiny-ass skirt, walking around in front of me all day, making me lose my goddamn mind.ā€
just like that, his hand slide right under your mini skirt, his fingers gripping a handful of your ass with a confidence that makes your breath hitch.
the sudden contact sends a rush of heat through you, and a soft gasp escapes your glossy lips.
thatā€™s when he takes his chance.
with another low groan, rafe seizes the moment, pressing his body against yours, leaning down as he kisses you, his tongue sliding into your mouth, the kiss deepening in an instant.
it's not sweetā€”you can tell that now because you know that hidden part of him, you can tell the difference when it comes out. today he's desperate like heā€™s been waiting to it for days and can't take it anymore.
he's a starved man on a mission.Ā it's a feverish mess of spit and teeth, his grip on you impossibly tight.
his hand still kneads your ass, blunt fingernails digging into your skin trying to keep you from bolting away. at the same time, his other hand slides up to your neck, firm but not enough to hurt, just enough to keep you locked in placeā€”he's daring you to pull away, knowing full well you won't.
logic doesn't stand a chance against the way his lips move against yours, he's sucking all the fight from you.
his tongue slides against yours, and your stomach jumps at the sensation, making you gasp. you try to pull back for a second, needing air, needing space, but his grip on your neck tightens, holding you in place as his lips move against yours like he'll die if you stop.
and maybe he would. maybe he's just as messed up about all of this as you are.
rafeā€™s teeth scrape against your bottom lip, and right then and there, you know your panties are already ruined. you can't stop the small whimper that escapes your throat, and he moans at the sound, his hips pressing harder against yours, making you feel just how much he wants you.
ā€œfuck,ā€ he almost whines against your lips, like he's barely keeping himself from fucking you out there in the open, not giving a shit if anyone's watching. his hand on your neck glides around to the back of your head, tangling in your hair as he tuggs slightly, tilting your head back so he can kiss you even harder, his lips moving against yours in a way that makes it impossible to think straight. ā€œyou have no idea what you do to me.ā€
the truth is, you do. you know exactly what you do to him because he's doing the same thing to you.
but there's no way in hell youā€™ll admit that. not when he already has you completely under his spell, melting into his touch, drowning in the way he kisses you like he owns you.
you attempt to hold onto that edge of disdain you always throw his way when things get too personal. his breath is hot and ragged as he hovers.
his hand, still tangled in your hair, loosens slightly but stays there. it's so fucking unfairā€”the way he just sneaks under your skin, the way your body betrays you every time he gets close.Ā you hate it.
especially with the way his fingers are already sliding up your bare thigh under that ridiculously skirt, as if he owns every single inch of you, like he has a goddamn right to touch you like that.
and instead of pushing him away like you should, you find yourself leaning into him. and fuck, the look in his eyesā€”all black, wild, like he it's his last shred of self-controlā€”is enough to make your pulse skyrocket.
ā€œasshole,ā€ it comes out weak, pathetic and almost breathless, and you hate yourself for it.
ā€œyeah,ā€ he whispers back, lips brushing yours, his hand still in your hair, still holding you close. ā€œbut you like it.ā€
god, maybe you did.
the frat boys finally return, their laughter breaking the bubble that had you on a leash.
within seconds, you're pushing rafeā€™s hands away, stepping back as of them claps him on the back.
ā€œwe miss anything?ā€
ā€œnah, just catchinā€™ up,ā€ rafe said, brushing off the whole thing as if it's no big deal.
you, on the other hand, pick up one of the empty glasses, avoiding eye contact with any of them.
one of the guys chuckles. ā€œman, you twoā€¦ yā€™all good?ā€
no. not when there's the slightest of the slightest possibility that you're starting to feel something for him. not the stupid crush you had before, or the simple curiosity of figuring out how he was in bed.Ā 
real, scary, big girl feelings.Ā 
no way. not after everything. not after he pulled that same crap, acting like you didnā€™t know you in front of his friends, then turning around and getting all possessive when it suited him.
Ā ā€œbetter than ever.ā€
eyes locked on rafe, you bite out the final blow.
ā€œyeah, better than ever. just like every otherĀ fuckingĀ rich frat boyā€”using daddyā€™s money, pretending youā€™re a god. but deep down, youā€™re all the same. losers. why donā€™t you keep them company, huh? youā€™re all family after all.ā€
his blue eyes drop to the green field at the mention of his dad, but he keeps quiet despite realizing youā€™re doing this on purpose.
heā€™ll let you have this one because he knows itā€™s deserving. fuck heā€™d probably let you punch him in the face if you asked him to.Ā 
you turn on your heel and walk away, leaving him behind, knowing you hit him exactly where it hurt.

Back from the Vault: Alexa
ā€œWhat do you mean you forgot your passport?!ā€ asked Simon through his phone.
ā€œI donā€™t know dude; I was sure I had it but I canā€™t find it anywhere. Can you go and check in my room if I didnā€™t put it on my desk or somewhere else, please?ā€
ā€œAlright, Iā€™m on my way, but dude, really, you have to be more careful!ā€
Simon and Michael had been roommates for almost four years now. Theyā€™d been paired together in their first year of uni, and since they were getting along pretty well and their shared bedroom was small, they decided to look for an apartment together. Things turned out great, and theyā€™ve shared the same apartment since then. When they met, Simon was pretty shy and lacked confidence, but thanks to Michael, he really came out of his shell and found the courage to live fully. He started going to the gym, taking care of himself, and making some friends along the way. He even managed to find someone he found attractive. They just started dating a few weeks ago, and he hoped he would manage to bring his love interest home while Michael was away.
Tumblr media
Michael had always been the more outgoing of the two. Always chatting and laughing with everyone, his big dumb smile plastered on his face, letting his perfect white teeth shine and illuminate his face. Sure, Michael wasnā€™t the brightest student, and even though he preferred working out to spending his evenings studying, he still did everything he could to succeed in his studies and at his part-time job as a bartender. He also managed to have some free time to play video games, practice sports, and, most of all, play with the parameters of his Alexa.
Tumblr media
When Michael saw the ad for Alexaā€™s new features a couple of years ago, he fell in love with the concept. The first thing he did when they both got the apartment was to put Alexa everywhere in the house. Simon was a bit skeptical about this artificial intelligence listening to them all the time, but Michael was so happy. Michael couldnā€™t stop having fun with his new toy. Alexa turned the volume up, Alexa lit up the kitchen. Alexa added ketchup to the grocery list. As time passed, Simon got used to it and didnā€™t even realize it was there anymore.
ā€œOk dude, Iā€™m in your bedroom. Damn, you could have cleaned up a bit; for fuckā€™s sake, there are dirty underwear and socks everywhere! Gross!ā€
Tumblr media
ā€œSorry bro, was in a bit of a hurry. I thought my flight was tomorrow, not today! Listen, my passport should be somewhere around my desk. I remember taking it out and putting it on my desk to finish packing. Look around if itā€™s not there, please.ā€
ā€œOkay, hold on, putting the speakers on,ā€ Simon said as he clicked on the button to activate it and turned the volume all the way up before placing his phone on the desk.
ā€œYou sure you put it there? I canā€™t find it anywhere, dude!ā€
ā€œYes, I am! It must be somewhere around. Take a look on my nightstand,ā€ Michael said, half-listening to what his friend was saying as he was stressed and still searching for it in his backpack.
VOICE DETECTED
ā€œBro, I canā€™t find it anywhere. I donā€™t know where youā€™ve puā€¦ What the fuck? What was that?ā€ said Simon, not understanding where the voice was coming from. ā€œDude, did you just say something?ā€ Simon asked again, waiting for an answer.
INTRUDER PROTOCOL ACTIVATEDā€¦ STARTING INTRUDER PROTECTION PROGRAM
As Simon heard this voice again, he heard a beeping sound coming from Michaelā€™s computer. Suddenly, the screens lit up with a weird-looking graphic. Simon tried to understand what was happening, still asking if this was a prank from Michael. ā€œDude, can you hear me? I donā€™t know what you are up to, but itā€™s not funny. You know what? Fuck you, Iā€™m out of here!ā€ said Simon as he started walking out of the messy bedroom.
ā€œBro, I know, maybe itā€™s in the closet!ā€ answered Michael, not listening to what his bro was saying and still looking for it in his suitcase.
All of a sudden, Simon felt something grabbing his right ankle. He tilted his head only to realize his foot was stuck in some kind of cable knot. He smiled a bit, thinking all of this was getting on his nerves, but as a shy laugh escaped his mouth, the knot tightened on its own, and another cable wrapped around Simonā€™s left ankle. Then they started pulling him. Simon fell on his butt right onto a pile of dirty jockstraps and used socks. The cables resumed their pulling. Simon tried to resist, but it wasnā€™t working.
ā€œMichael, help!!ā€ he screamed loud and clear, but Michael had put his phone away as he was asking about his passport to his family.
ā€œHELP ME!!ā€ Simon screamed once again as he was dragged across the dirty floor. Then it all stopped. He was not moving anymore. His ankles were still tied to the cables, and as he tried to get back up, he heard a whipping sound and turned his head just in time to see two new cables grab his wrists and tie them up too before spreading them apart, resulting in Simon being held down against his will in the middle of Michaelā€™s dirty bedroom floor.
ā€œMichael, help me!ā€ screamed Simon again, and this time Michael answered just as the voice started talking again.
INTRUDER NEUTRALIZEDā€¦ WAITING APPROVAL TO START INTRUDER PROTECTION PROGRAMā€¦
ā€œYES!ā€ screamed Michael from afar. ā€œI knew I had packed it!ā€ Michaelā€™s voice got louder as he got his phone back to his ear. ā€œSorry bro, Iā€™ve found it! My mom was keeping it and didnā€™t tell me. Sorry! Iā€™ll catch you in a month after my family trip. Iā€™ll grab you something from Disney World, bro. See you!ā€ And with that, Michael hung up on Simon.
MASTER4S VOICE DETECTEDā€¦ STARTING PROTOCOLS IN 3ā€¦2ā€¦1ā€¦
Simon was terrified. He couldnā€™t move, and now his only hope, Michael, had just hung up on him. As he realized he would have to find a way to free himself on his own, the cables started to tense again, pulling his limbs a bit more until his legs and arms were outstretched. Now he couldnā€™t move at all anymore.
STARTING SCANNING AND BACKUP PROTOCOLā€¦
Simon lay there, immobile and jerking as much as he could in the hope of untying one of the knots when he saw a new cable starting to move on its own. It undulated on the floor in Simonā€™s direction, and as it got near his head, it floated in the air above him. There it stood just long enough for Simon to see it. It was different from the ones holding him down. This one had a device plugged into it, looking like something used for scanning. As Simon thought about that, the device turned itself on and illuminated Simonā€™s body in a blue hue, going from the tip of his feet to his head. As it scanned along, Simon saw a weird blue holographic square pattern projected onto him.
ā€œWhat the fuck is all of this?ā€ thought Simon as the device finished its work.
INTRUDER SCAN FINISHEDā€¦ SAVING OF THE DATAā€¦ DATA SAVEDā€¦ RESUMING PROTOCOLā€¦
Simon heard again. Suddenly, the scanning device lit up again, but this time it was not a blue light. This time it was red. It started scanning all over his body again, but Simon felt like something was heating all around him. As he felt this weird but not painful sensation, he realized he was feeling something on his right ankle. He lifted his head only to see that wherever the red light touched, his clothes were disintegrating. His socks and brand-new Air Forces were already gone, and now he watched as his favorite pair of jeans was getting destroyed right in front of his eyes. Simon screamed and moved as much as he could in every direction, hoping to stop all of this, but it was not working. Worse, the voice started again.
INTRUDER NOT STANDING STILL, SPEEDING UP PROCESS BY 50%
Simon watched in fear as he felt his whole body getting naked faster. With the blink of an eye, Simon was standing there, tied up and naked on the floor. ā€œPlease, make it stop. Iā€™m Michaelā€™s roommate. Iā€™m not an intruder. I live here!ā€ Simon tried to talk with Alexa, but the only response he heard froze him in terror.
VOICEPRINT INCORRECTā€¦ RESUMING PROTOCOL IN 3ā€¦2ā€¦1ā€¦
As he heard those words, he saw new cables flying from every corner of the room. They were like snakes ready to strike, and the only thing he could do as he saw them freezing in place waiting for orders was close his eyes as tears built up on his cheeks.
Suddenly, all the cables jumped onto his body. He felt them plugging into his biceps, forearms, pecs, abs, and legs. He even felt some getting plugged into his fingers and soles. Simon was in excruciating pain. It felt like he was being stabbed all over his body at once. Just as he was about to faint, he heard the voice again.
MODIFICATION PROCESS STARTING IN 3ā€¦2ā€¦1ā€¦
Simon felt all the cables attached to him vibrating harder and harder. It was like his whole body was being shaken. His nerves were on fire, and he felt like he was about to be torn apart. Tears of pain streamed down his cheeks as he suddenly felt an electric shock inside his body. He was in such pain that he couldnā€™t even turn his head to see what was happening to him.
Just before Michael left for his family vacation, he received a notification on his Amazon account about a new version of Alexa. Being Michael, he jumped on the opportunity and upgraded it right away, without paying much attention to the modifications. The only new feature he was interested in was the ā€œIntruder Protection Programā€ and its assimilation feature. ā€œCool,ā€ he thought, ā€œJust before leaving for a month, this new version is released. What perfect timing!ā€
Once the download was done, Alexa needed information to register who was welcome and who was considered an intruder. Michael did so and, just as he finished entering his information and was about to input Simonā€™s details, Alexa reminded him that his flight was leaving in 4 hours. Surprised, Michael jumped out of his desk, packed as much as he could into his backpack and suitcase, and rushed to meet his family at the airport, not realizing he never entered Simonā€™s information into Alexaā€™s database.
Simon lay frozen in pain on the dirty floor as he felt his bones cracking and compressing. He heard cracking everywhere, and at some point, he thought maybe all of this was a nightmare and he was about to wake up. But what jolted him from this thought was the excruciating pain in his feet. Simon felt his size 39 feet starting to grow longer until they were now a size 45 and a half. The pain was awful. He fell as his toes elongated and became more articulated. It felt like he had more movement in them than before. Then the same happened with his hands, and it was too much for Simonā€™s pain tolerance. As he fainted from the pain, the changes didnā€™t stop. Once the bones were modified, Simonā€™s muscles were next.
All his muscles entered a vibration state. They grew larger and larger until his previous slim, athletic frame was replaced by that of a gym god. His muscles bulged in every direction. Once the muscles were done, the vibration moved to his head. His nose was the first to break into pieces before being remolded into a larger, less slim version. Then the same happened with his chin and brows. Once the bones were done, the muscles in his face also started to vibrate, resulting in a more angular, jockish face.
Then the scanning device came back to life and started scanning Simonā€™s fainted body with a green light. Every inch of skin touched by the light tanned to a healthy golden shade. Once done, the device turned a yellow light and focused on specific zones: the legs, armpits, head, chest, and most importantly, the pubic area. There, it started to light up and remained immobile on the skin until a certain number of hairs had sprouted. This resulted in Simonā€™s body having slightly hairy legs, chest and an imberb face (except for hair and brows), hairy armpits, and, most notably, curly brown pubes.
When all the hair had been scanned, the device focused back on Simonā€™s head and his eyes. This time, the device emitted a purple hue. Unbeknownst to Simon, his blue-gray eyes started to change until they were a warm brown color. The scanning device turned off and fell next to Simonā€™s head, only to be replaced by another cable with a peculiar apparatus at its end. It looked like a tube.
The cable started to undulate toward Simonā€™s crotch and then, out of nowhere, jumped onto his 5-inch cock and grape-sized balls. Alexa spoke again.
LOADING BACKED UP DATAā€¦
The device began to suck harder and harder, and suddenly, Simonā€™s cut cock started to grow and harden. It grew bigger and bigger inside the tube until it was now an 8.5-inch uncut cock with huge testicles.
GENITALS MODIFIEDā€¦
The device detached itself and fell just between Simonā€™s legs. Simonā€™s body remained immobile for a couple of seconds before he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was two huge pecs in front of his sight. He screamed and turned his head to the right and left, watching as his arms had also become huge.
ā€œWHAT THE FUCK!ā€ he screamed, but the only response he got was another notification from Alexa.
BODY MODIFICATION PROTOCOL COMPLETEā€¦ STARTING THE ASSIMILATION PROTOCOL IN 3ā€¦ 2ā€¦ 1ā€¦
Simon watched in fear as a new cable appeared in his sight. This one looked similar to the others that had plugged into his body, but it stood right between his eyes. Thatā€™s when he understood what Alexa had just said.
ā€œNo, Alexa, stop! STOOOOā€¦ā€
The cable jumped into the middle of Simonā€™s eyes and plugged itself directly into his brain. For Simon, it felt like a switch had been turned off. He was still feeling everything but couldnā€™t move anymore. It was like he was no longer there, and for a moment, he thought he might have died. Then he heard Alexaā€™s voice again, but this time it was clearer and louder, as if it were directly in his brain.
SAVING AND DUPLICATING INTRUDERā€™S INFORMATION
Simon felt like something was off. It felt like he was being scanned deeply, and then suddenly, he felt himself falling into darkness. It was like falling into an endless pit of obscurity, and he couldnā€™t grab onto anything to stop his fall.
INTRUDERā€™S INFORMATION SCANNED AND SAVEDā€¦ STARTING ASSIMILATIONā€¦
Simon stood in darkness, hearing Alexaā€™s voice but unable to move or react. He was frozen in time and floating in a dark place. Suddenly, right in front of him, he saw a bright, intense, and warming light. From all around, he saw movie clips floating toward it, merging together, making it grow bigger and stronger. Simon was forced to watch these clips until one caught his attention. It was a memory of himself and Michael playing Mario Kart. Simon remembered this night perfectly because it was when he realized Michael was a true friend, and he was happy and thankful to have him in his life. But it was strange because in his memories, he was on the right side of the sofa, not the left. It was as if the memory was mirrored. Thatā€™s when he realized.
ā€œWait, why am I watching myself playing Mario Kart in this clip? I should be looking at Michael, not myself!ā€
Simon panicked and tried to find another clip, only to see once again himself in front of his eyes, not Michael. Now he understood. Simon was not looking at his memories but Michaelā€™s.
ā€œALEXA, STOP, PLEASE!ā€ Simon screamed, but nothing happened. Instead, more and more movie clips merged in front of his eyes until the last one was Michael downloading the new version of Alexa called ā€œIntruder Protection Programā€ in his room. Simon screamed as loud as he could, only to be cut short by Alexa once again.
ASSIMILATION DONEā€¦
In the outside world, all the cables unplugged themselves and unknotted from Simonā€™s ankles and wrists.
Simonā€™s body lay sweaty and naked on the dirty floor for a couple of seconds before Alexa spoke once more.
INTRUDER PROTECTION PROGRAM TERMINATEDā€¦ CAN I DO SOMETHING FOR YOU, MICHAEL?
Michael opened his eyes, and Simon watched, trapped inside his own brain, as his body betrayed him. He felt everything but couldnā€™t move anymore. He felt his body starting to blink before opening his mouth and speaking in a deeper voice, mimicking Michaelā€™s.
ā€œNah bro! Iā€™m good. Thanks, Alexa!ā€
With that, Michaelā€™s body began to get up and realized he was naked. Worse, he was getting excited watching himself in the mirror.
ā€œWell, guess I have to take care of you,ā€ he said, gripping his huge veined cock before spitting on it and starting to pleasure himself.
Simon was in hell. He felt everything and couldnā€™t do anything to stop his body and this new Michael personality. Then he felt his body tense up and prepare to explode. He grabbed one of the dirty underwear on the floor, smelled it, laughed a bit, and said ā€œNoiceā€ before finishing himself in it. He then sat on the bed, the dirty jockstrap still stuck between his calloused hand and his hard cock.
The new Michael closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
TIME TO WAKE UP, MASTER, ITā€™S 8 AM, YOUā€™RE GONNA BE LATEā€¦
Michael woke up with his dick still tucked inside the crusty jockstrap. He got up, looked at the time, and thanked Alexa. He looked around his bedroom to see what he was about to wear and only after 2 minutes of running naked did he realize he still had the jockstrap stuck to his cock. He laughed and grabbed it before putting it on. He then jumped into cargo sports shorts and a pair of well-used Nike socks before putting grabbing a red and white tank top under his arm and his favorite necklace.
Tumblr media
As Michael left his bedroom, he screamed through the house.
ā€œSimon bro, gonna be late, Iā€™ll see you tonight!ā€
Before leaving, he never realized that Simon was, in fact, stuck in his own head, screaming for this nightmare to stop and for him to be freed.
As Michael closed the door and jumped into his car, Alexa started again.
MICHAEL OUT OF HOUSEā€¦ STARTING INTRUDER PROTECTION PROGRAMā€¦

this isn't related to rgg at all but finding out you're also a fire emblem fan was great... first the mention of the ike figure then the insane por prices LMAO? i had no idea... what games have you played?
Back In My Day i was known as ā€˜the eliwood/elihec guyā€™ and on occasion The Ike Guy LOL but yeahā€¦. Guilty as chargedā€¦ā€¦
As for the games ive played ive played Shadow Dragon (DS remake), Shadows of Valentia, and then FE6-FE3H + FEW (minus Heroes of Light and Shadow)
im an asshole for playing on authentic software hence why i skipped out on FE1-FE5 but maybe one day ill stop being annoying and pick them up on an emulator. Or IntSYS remakes them <- doubtful (well. The rest of the JP-exclusive games anyway lol)
#snap chats#FE is like my DQ honestly LMAO i love the games so much#thoā€¦ cant say that nowadaysā€¦ i havent played any of the new ones since FE3H#no particular reason aside from maybe not being too much of a fan of the art style#but i could just be a true geezer at heart and prefer the old pixel/portrait art of the 2000ā€™s era#SoVā€™s portrait art is gorgeous tho. that games SOOOO good berkutā€™s still one of my fave antags to this day#oh but. in case you couldnt tell. FE7 was one of my faves to post for a while LMAO#it was the first game i got to play since my bro got it and let me play it#he also had sacred stones so i played that once i was done with FE7#then i played brawl and fell in love with ike. as in Big Sword And He Punches/Kicks People#soā€¦.. i saved up to buy PoR and later Radiant Dawn (tho i got RD for. MUUUCH much cheaper)#and i mean i always thought marth was cute. And A Girl so when i was able to i got SD#not my favorite game ngl the cast was just. too huge and not memorable but i still love marth as a character#at some point i figured id try to play FE6 and bought a japanese copy (that i had ray chase sign actually)#the hit rate is fucking. ABYSMAL. and my JP was even worse than it is now BUT we got through it#the tellius games def have my fave cast and lore tho and i love the music. and Por do be on my baby the gamecube#and then i got awakening because my childhood bestie- who never played FE before- loved it a million so i figured why not#and then. My Insane Ass. she bought birthright and so of course i bought conquest#but then i heard about the removed features in the JP versions so i bought those and gave her my conquest copy#and then i paid her to homebrew my 3DS because I Am Stupid. so did i pay an obscene amount of money#to play Arguably the worst FE games Yes. but i got to use my ike amiibo so its ok :)#i love how i talk more bout fire emblem on my rgg blog than on my FE blog LMAO thats just how it be#but yeah those are my FE crimes thanks for listening LOL#i oughta cap it there i been talkin WAAAYYY too long LMAO

present day, june 2025.
paige: yo why you leave?
fr
you really just gon dip like that after everything i said to you?
read 11:12pm
i stare at the texts, the screen blurring for a second before i blink it back into focus. the strobe of my phone lights up the backseat of anaā€™s car, where iā€™m half-sprawled against the leather, her hand creeping up my thigh. my headā€™s foggyā€”not drunk, but just tipsy enough to feel audacious. anaā€™s lips skim along the side of my neck, hot and slow, and i donā€™t stop her, not at first.
i came straight to her job after i walked out of the game. i wasnā€™t gonna stay, pace the sidelines all night, pretend i wasnā€™t watching paige. pretend it didnā€™t eat me alive when i caught onto everything maya was telling me. showing me. so, i left. let paige have the last laugh (in her own eyes) while i drank my way through anaā€™s shift.
paigeā€™s texts must mean sheā€™s just now picking up her phone. took her long enough. probably had to say goodbye to maya first. the thought burns, and my fingers tighten around my phone.
ā€œmm,ā€ ana hums against my skin. it feels nice. ā€œyouā€™re so tense.ā€ her fingers trace lazy circles against my inner thigh, lips grazing my jaw now.
i try to fall into it, but i scrunch my face up, pulling away slightly when my phone buzzes again.
paige: i know you saw ts
i do something? 11:14pm
bro answer the phone 11:17pm
i scoff, and anaā€™s lips pause. she pulls back just enough to look at me, her eyebrow raised. ā€œthat her?ā€
i nod, tucking my bottom lip between my teeth. ā€œkeep doing what youā€™re doing,ā€ i breathe out. she smiles, all thirty two showing as she places a kiss to my lips before dropping to her knees.
paige: where are you? 11:21pm
i donā€™t think about why thatā€™s her next question, i just stubbornly type back something vague.
nailea: iā€™m jusr out
paige: donā€™t play w me
out where?
who you with?
read 11:23pm
nailea: no one
read 11:24pm
i hear her tone through the screenā€”skeptical, irritated. i wait, expecting her to follow up with another question, but the screen stays stubbornly blank. no more bubbles, no texts.
i furrow my eyebrows, scrolling up the thread, reading her last messages again like iā€™m missing something. did she give up that fast? doubtful. paige doesnā€™t give up. she digs in. especially when it comes to me.
anaā€™s hands tug at the waistband of my shorts, and i lift my hips slightly, letting her pull them down. i yelp, smiling down at her when she pulls me closer to her mouth. my breath stutters as she kisses down low, everywhere but where i need her. she knows what sheā€™s doing, and i almost let myself fully fall.
i almost let it go for the night.
almost.
and then i realizeā€”paigeā€™s last text, the one that asked who i was withā€”it didnā€™t feel like just a question. it felt like she knew something. sheā€™s looking at my location.
i fumble with my phone, swiping through settings faster than iā€™ve ever moved before. the notification pops up immediately after i flick the toggle to off.
iā€™m probably only making her angrier. paige and i never stopped sharing our locations. not since high school when we werenā€™t even dating. no matter how bad the argument got, no matter how many times we called for a break up. i canā€™t find myself caring, though. iā€™ll match her anger.
you stopped sharing your location with paige at 11:28pm
paige: oh
šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
ight 11:28pm
imma ask you something 11:30pm
and istg nailea
she takes a moment to type, the text bubble going in and out, almost like sheā€™s bracing herself for her own question. my head falls back against the seat, a shaky exhale escaping me as ana attaches her lips to my cunt, getting straight to work.
you with her?
i am. she knows i am. i donā€™t know why sheā€™s asking.
nailea: why do you care?
paige: tf you mean why do i care?
are you with her?
somehow, the second ask makes me wanna be honest. the messier, the better. she deserves every ounce of what i throw back at her. my fingers hover over the keyboard, my head foggy from the drinks, from ana, from everything. i feel her pause for a second before her mouth returns to me, a measured dip of her tongue that drags the answer right out of me.
nailea: yuppp
she fucks me sioooo good p
couldā€™ve been you tn
but iā€™m done
paige: no youā€™re not bro donā€™t say shit like that 11:34pm
call me so we can talk? 11:36pm
please baby
nailea: talk? like you talked w maya?
nahhhh iā€™m good
i know everything
you want her. go have her
paige: nai what the fuck did she tell you? 11:37pm
the part of me that knows better says to put the phone down, but the other partā€”the one paige always has a hold onā€”canā€™t resist. i need her to know what i know. i stare at the messages, my heart twisting in ways i wish it wouldnā€™t. the denial, the deflectionā€”itā€™s textbook paige. sheā€™ll never admit it. itā€™s not enough. itā€™s never enough.
paige: i told you how i felt
you KNOW how i feel about you???
you think iā€™d lie about that?
donā€™t let her mess us up
yes, i do. because you lie about fucking everything.
nailea: you tell maya you love her too?
btw her jeans? unzipped
i think i get the picture
a minute passed. two. three. i screw my eyes shut at the silent confirmation. she really did it, didnā€™t she?
paige: call me 11:41pm
my stomach drops, but iā€™m too far gone to care. anaā€™s hands grip me tighter, and i canā€™t tell if itā€™s to keep me grounded or to remind me that sheā€™s the one here, not paige.
i drop the phone, letting it clatter to the seat, paigeā€™s messages lighting up the screen like a flashing red light i refuse to acknowledge. anaā€™s name falls from my lips now, i let my hand fall into her curls, gripping her hair tighter, letting the anger burn out through her.
ā€œthere she is.ā€
i forget about everything else.
the beach looks perfect tonight, though iā€™m sure cam planned her and benā€™s pre-wedding bonfire down to a tee. the weather, the crowdā€”everythingā€™s falling into place. iā€™m happy for her. the fire crackles, sending out occasional pops, and people are lounging on blankets around it, standing, chatting in groups, soaking in the warmth as the sun dips below the horizon. itā€™s almost like a little piece of paradise.
i force myself to be in the moment, even though my mind keeps drifting back to the mess iā€™ve been trying to avoid for the past week, nearly two. paige. iā€™ve been dodging her calls and texts, shutting down every attempt sheā€™s made to get me to talk.
iā€™ve been doing a fairly great job at it. dodging maya, too. but i spotted them near the pier, paige leaned against the railing, maya going off about something the blonde looks like she doesnā€™t wanna hear, and iā€™m right back in it. i furrow my eyebrows, as if squinting hard enough will help me lip-read whatever mayaā€™s laying on her. but i canā€™t. and itā€™s infuriating.
oh, and ana? somewhere behind me, i think. i brought her hereā€”like an idiot. i thought itā€™d help me focus, distract me from paige, but now iā€™m just starting to think it mightā€™ve been a mistake.
ā€œā€¦youā€™ve outdone yourself. as usual,ā€ rae says, and i snap my head back over to the conversation in front of me. i take a sip of my cocktail, the condensation dripping onto my fingers.
cam grins, brushing imaginary dust of her shoulders. ā€œben and i wanted something with everyone since the wedding will be a little smaller.ā€
i murmur my agreement as i take another drink, and iā€™m so lost in thought that i donā€™t notice rickea until she loops an arm through mine, dragging me away.
ā€œhey, back,ā€ i tease, waving away at rae and cam who didnā€™t seem to mind.
she leans in close, the smell of her coconut lotion wafting as she speaks just loud enough for me to hear. ā€œyou wanna tell me why ana is here?ā€
i shrug, and my eyes scan over the crowd until i finally spot ana by the cocktail bar. too far away. sheā€™s been out of my sight for too long.
ā€œdamage control,ā€ i reply, though the explanation feels like a flimsy excuse the second it leaves my lips.
rickea lets out a disbelieving laugh, tugging me a little farther from the group, out of earshot. ā€œyou mean paige control?ā€
the words hit harder than i expect, even in jest. my grip tightens around the glass, nails trying to dig into it. ā€œsheā€™s fine,ā€ i say, but it sounds like iā€™m trying to convince myself of it.
kea tilts her head, eyes narrowing in that way she does when sheā€™s reading you too closely. ā€œsure she is,ā€ she says, dragging the words out. her gaze shifts past me to the pier, where paige and mayaā€™s conversation seems to have escalated. maya gestures wildly, while paige stands still, her jaw tight.
ā€œitā€™s not my problem anymore,ā€ i tell her flatly.
rickea stops in front of me, unliking our arms to cross her own, but the smirk stays. ā€œmm-hmm. and ana being here has nothing to do with reminding paige of that, right?ā€
i nod. ā€œright.ā€
the lie tastes bitter. because even if itā€™s trueā€”if ana being here isnā€™t just about paigeā€”it doesnā€™t feel that way. not when i feel the same sting of her actions thatā€™s lingered all for nearly two weeks.
rickea studies me for a moment, her smirk morphing into something almost sympathetic, but she doesnā€™t press further.
ā€œletā€™s just get you another drink. at the cocktail bar. where ana is.ā€ she speaks in periods, and i shake my head, ultimately agreeing.
i let her pull me along, glancing back one more time at the pier where paige and maya stand like two actors in a scene i donā€™t want to watch. i catch a familiar set of blue hues already looking my way. anaā€™s name is still somewhere on my tongue, but itā€™s the wrong one, isnā€™t it?
the sunā€™s fully set now. most people are starting to head towards the house cam had reserved for the night for dinner and games sheā€™d carefully curated. i canā€™t focus on the bonfire, on the mounds of people who would probably love to talk to me, or the stupidly perfect weather.
sheā€™s over there, somewhere, and i canā€™t shake the feeling that sheā€™s watching me, even though i know iā€™m not the one sheā€™s looking at tonight. or at least not the only one.
not with ana here.
i push down the knot tightening in my chest and glance back toward the pier, where maya stormed off to just a few minutes ago. our conversation keeps replaying in my head, and every time it pops back up, it only makes me angrier.
ā€œyouā€™re not being honest with me,ā€ maya had snapped, almost like she was sick of holding it in, and also like she was trying to keep it from carrying to anyone nearby.
ā€œwhat the hell are you talking about?ā€ iā€™d asked, leaning against the pier railing. iā€™d agreed to come over here to talk, and iā€™m starting to regret it. i didnā€™t want to be over here.
she gestured vaguely, her face flushed with every ounce of anger she carried. ā€œyou know exactly what i mean. you keep dancing around it like iā€™m stupid! like i donā€™t see whatā€™s going on between you and nai.ā€
my stomach had dropped, but i didnā€™t let it show. ā€œthereā€™s nothing going on, bro.ā€
maya had then laughed bitterly, shaking her head. ā€œright. thatā€™s why you walked out on me at halftime to go looking for her, huh? thatā€™s why she keeps giving you the cold shoulder every time youā€™re in the same room.ā€
she was grasping, but i couldnā€™t deny that sheā€™d hit too close to home. ā€œyouā€™re imagining things,ā€ i muttered, pushing off the railing, ready to end the conversation.
but then sheā€™d stepped in front of me, her voice lowering. i looked down at her, quirking a brow. ā€œno, iā€™m not. and you wanna know how i know?ā€ she paused, waiting, and when i didnā€™t answer, she leaned in just enough to whisper, ā€œi unzipped my pants on purpose.ā€
those words are still ringing in my ears.
nai walked out on me, angry and hurt, and nothing iā€™ve said since has convinced her otherwise. now iā€™m stuck here, catching hell for a mess i didnā€™t create. i wasnā€™t sure where it left maya and i, but it was wholeheartedly the last thing on my mind before i left.
i donā€™t even remember what i said after thatā€”probably something defensive, because i didnā€™t want to believe it. maya had smirked, though, like she knew sheā€™d hit her mark. ā€œyou canā€™t keep playing both sides, paige. someone was gonna call your bluff.ā€
i spot nai near the bonfire, rickea by her side. sheā€™s wearing this long, heather grey skims dress that hugs her hips just right. she looks good. too good. sheā€™s laughing, her head tilting back just a little, her hand brushing her hair out of her face, and for a second, itā€™s like none of it happened.
but i know her. i know the way her fingers curl just a little tighter around her drink when sheā€™s tense, the way her laugh comes too quick, like sheā€™s trying to convince herself sheā€™s having fun. i know the way sheā€™s avoiding looking at me. sheā€™s pretending, and it pisses me off.
but then thereā€™s ana. sheā€™s standing by the cocktail bar, her long legs crossed casually as someone i donā€™t recognize talks her ear off. sheā€™s everything nai probably thinks she needs right now, and i hate her for it.
ana doesnā€™t flinch when i slide into the space between her and.. whoever. she just glances at me, taking a slow sip from her drink before setting it down. her smile doesnā€™t falter, even as her eyes narrow, her stance shifting just enough to face me fully.
ā€œwell, if it isnā€™t the infamous ex,ā€ she announces. somehow, the word ex makes everything remotely cordial i was gonna say fly out the window. ā€œyou always this bold, or is tonight special?ā€
i lean against the bar, letting the corner of my mouth tug into a smirk. ā€œdepends whoā€™s askinā€™.ā€ i glance down, then back up at her. ā€œbut you? youā€™re nothinā€™ special.ā€
she laughs, a cocky one, like iā€™m exactly where she wanted me. ā€œyouā€™re cute,ā€ she says, tilting her head. ā€œbut you donā€™t scare me, paige.ā€
i furrow my eyebrows, but it doesnā€™t match the curve of my lips. ā€œscare you?ā€ i chuckle, letting the words roll off my tongue slow. ā€œnah, i ainā€™t tryna scare you. just makinā€™ sure you know your place.ā€
her eyebrows raise. ā€œand what place is that?ā€
ā€œsecond,ā€ i say easily, adding a shrug to the jab too. ā€œalways second. ā€˜cause you ainā€™t got her like i do.ā€
ana leans closer, her voice dropping to match mine. ā€œyou sure about that? ā€˜cause right now it looks like you donā€™t got her at all.ā€
alright.
the words hit where she wanted them to, but i donā€™t flinch. instead, i lean in just a little closer, my smirk widening. ā€œyou think youā€™ve got her? think sheā€™s moved on?ā€ i shake my head, glancing away from her, as if the ocean is more interesting than this conversation. ā€œsheā€™ll always come back to me, ana. youā€™re just a pit stop.ā€
ana doesnā€™t break eye contact, her smile tight now, but before she can respond, naiā€™s voice interrupts.
ā€œana.ā€
we both turn, and there she is, standing a few feet away, her jaw clenched, eyes not sure where to land, me or her. she ditched her drink, and i look to where rickea is, holding two glasses, and giving me a look like she knows what iā€™m stirring. i jerk my head up in her direction, as if to say, ā€œwhatā€™s up?ā€
ana steps back immediately, her smile returning like itā€™s on autopilot. ā€œright here, babe,ā€ she says, moving toward her.
since when is she on babe status? was that another line to get under my skin? it worked.
nai doesnā€™t even look at me as she grabs anaā€™s arm, her fingers wrapping tight around her wrist. ā€œletā€™s go.ā€
i canā€™t help myself. ā€œwhat, no hello for me?ā€ i call out, my voice etched with mock innocence.
nai freezes, her back stiffening before she slowly turns her head toward me. she looks like like sheā€™s trying too hard not to give me anything. ā€œyouā€™re good at one thing, paige,ā€ she says, her tone clipped, like sheā€™s dismissing our talk as soon as it started.
i raise an eyebrow, my smirk deepening. ā€œwhatā€™s that?ā€
ā€œmaking a mess,ā€ she spits, before yanking ana along without waiting for a response.
i watch them walk away up towards the beach house, and when iā€™m sure she wonā€™t turn around, i turn towards the bar, stroking my chin.
ā€œanother, please.ā€
the beach feels different at night, quieter in a way that makes everything louder in my head. the waves roll in and out, and the moon is bright enough for me to see out. it should be peaceful, but itā€™s not.
everyoneā€™s still inside, but after i told cam what happened, she offered me two blankets and a bottle of tequila to clear my head, and i, for one, wouldnā€™t turn it down. i can hear everyoneā€™s laughter, the music. i couldnā€™t stay there any longer, let paige stare like she still had access to me.
i dig my fingers into the sand, cool and grainy against my skin, trying to ground myself. it doesnā€™t work. my thoughts are too loud, too messy, tumbling over each other in a tangle i canā€™t unravel.
i hear the soft crunch of footsteps on the sand. a pause. then her voice.
ā€œnai?ā€
i donā€™t turn around right away, because i already know itā€™s her. paige. she sounds hesitant, like sheā€™s not sure if iā€™ll even let her talk. maybe sheā€™s hoping iā€™ll stay quiet instead.
ā€œwhat are you doing out here?ā€ she asks, a little too casually.
i finally glance over my shoulder, meeting her eyes for the first time since i stopped her antics by the bar. sheā€™s standing there, a few feet away, her hands shoved in the pockets of her blue jeans, shoulders hunched like sheā€™s trying to make herself smaller. i almost feel sorry for her. almost.
when i donā€™t respond, she asks another question. ā€œwhereā€™s ana?ā€ she takes a seat next to me, and the blanketā€™s large enough for the two of us. almost like itā€™s fate again. she wants to know. sheā€™s still jealous, and i can feel the weight of that jealousy in the way she says it. the way she looks at me. like sheā€™s waiting for me to tell her something she doesnā€™t want to hear.
ā€œshe left,ā€ i say, not bothering to explain further. i donā€™t owe her that. ana has work in the morning, and i wasnā€™t gonna keep her here any longer as my rebound toy. not while i was already feeling bad about it.
paige exhales, and i hear the relief and frustration in it before she bites down on her lip. she looks down at the ground for a second, like sheā€™s working up the courage to say whatā€™s really on her mind. ā€œlook, about earlierā€¦ iā€™m sorry. shouldnā€™tā€™ve been bickering with your girl like that.ā€
i finally turn to look at her. ā€œsheā€™s not my girl.ā€ her lips twitch, like sheā€™s trying not to smile, and it sets something off in me. ā€œthat all youā€™ve gotta apologize for?ā€
she shifts, close enough that her knee brushes against mine. ā€œthatā€™s not what happened with maya.ā€
ā€œdonā€™t,ā€ i say, shaking my head as i look away. ā€œdonā€™t sit here and lie to my face.ā€
ā€œiā€™m not lyinā€™, nai,ā€ she defends, leaning forward, trying to catch my eye. sheā€™s almost pleading for me to believe her. ā€œyou think iā€™d do that to you? again?ā€
ā€œuh? you want me to tell the truth?ā€ i spit, and those seven words shut her right up. ā€œi know. i saw it. her pants were unzipped. she was smiling at me like she got what she wanted. what the fuck am i supposed to believe?ā€
ā€œme!ā€ paige runs a hand down her face. ā€œmeā€¦ for once.ā€
silence. the kind i hate.
ā€œyouā€™re never gonna trust me, are you?ā€
ā€œno,ā€ i mutter under my breath, closing my eyes for a second, like that might stop the storm brewing inside me. but it doesnā€™t. it makes it worse. i hate how sheā€™s still able to pull at me like this, how she knows exactly how to get under my skin, how she knows how to feel like home in a way no one else does.
but most importantly, i hate that she can do all these things, make me feel all these things, and still not be a better person for me.
she flinches like iā€™ve struck her, but she doesnā€™t back down. ā€œyou think you can trust her? ana? you donā€™t even know her.ā€
i scoff. ā€œand you wanna argue with me about trust?ā€ i snap, turning to face her fully now. it takes a lot of effort to not yell.
she shakes her head, exhaling slowly. ā€œi donā€™t wanna argue at all, ma. just wanna have you.ā€
ā€œjust wanna have you.ā€
the words leave my mouth before i can stop them, and i hate how badly i need her to believe me. it shouldnā€™t have had to be like this. i donā€™t want to say it, but i know itā€™s true. everything else can wait. itā€™s her. itā€™s always been her. i just need her to hear me, to feel meā€”because she hasnā€™t let me show her anything in too long.
nai looks at me, her eyes softening just enough, and i can see the battle inside herā€”sheā€™s pissed, but sheā€™s still here. when her lips meet mine, itā€™s like everything iā€™ve been holding back for the last week and a half explodes. i sink into her, tasting the tequila in her kiss. everything about this feels wrong, but it feels right too. sheā€™s still here, still letting me touch her.
she pulls back just enough to look at me, her eyes narrowed but warm. vulnerable. itā€™s a look i know all too well, one i never wanted to see again, but somehow, iā€™m grateful for it. i hate how much iā€™ve hurt her, how much iā€™ve fucked this up, but iā€™ll be damned if i let her walk away without trying.
ā€œwhat can i do to make you believe me?ā€ i ask, my voice cracking just a little. thereā€™s desperation there, but thereā€™s also hopeā€”hope i shouldnā€™t have, but i canā€™t help it.
ā€œexplain,ā€ she whispers, barely audible, her lips still swollen from our kiss.
i donā€™t even have to think about it. the words spill out like iā€™d been waiting for the change. ā€œmaya knows. sheā€™sā€¦ she tried something out, tested you to see if it was true. she knew i was lying to her about us. i didnā€™tā€”i didnā€™t want that to happen. not like that.ā€
her eyes search mine, like sheā€™s trying to read through me, and it makes me want to break. shit, sheā€™s so close. her body is almost against mine, and the urge to touch her is too much to ignore. before i can stop myself, my lips are trailing down her neck, tasting the skin there, trying to get closer, to make her feel how much i need her to understand.
ā€œi didnā€™t touch her,ā€ i mutter against her skin, my hands finding their way under her dress, fingertips grazing her hips. ā€œi swear, nai. youā€™re it. youā€™re all i want.ā€
the words are coming faster now, and everything about herā€”her scent, the way her skin feels beneath my fingers, the way her breath hitches as i kiss lowerā€”itā€™s too much. i donā€™t know if iā€™m trying to make her believe me or if iā€™m just trying to keep her here, to keep her from leaving me again.
i look up at her, my lips just inches from her own, and i can see the hesitation, the fight still in her eyes, but itā€™s softer now. sheā€™s softening, letting me in.
ā€œi shouldnā€™t have made you doubt that,ā€ i whisper, my breath hot against her ear as i lean in closer. i can feel her body trembling under my touch, and it drives me wild. fuck, iā€™m so close to losing it.
and then iā€™m kissing her again, this time deeper, more messy. i donā€™t have time for any more words. all i need is this. her. me and her.
before i know it, sheā€™s guiding me down, her hands threading through my hair as she pulls me closer. she doesnā€™t say anything more, but i donā€™t need her to. i can feel itā€”the way her body moves against mine, the way she breathes my name like itā€™s the only thing that matters.
and then iā€™m all the way down in front of her, looking up into her eyes, feeling her breath catch. sheā€™s so fucking beautiful. i donā€™t care about anything else. just the way she looks at me, like iā€™m everything she needs, like iā€™m the only thing that matters.
ā€œfuck,ā€ i murmur, my hands moving up her thighs as i hike her dress up over her hips. i hear her let out a soft gasp as my lips drag over her stomach, leaving kisses in its wake. my fingers hook into the band of her panties, and i look back up at her for confirmation that this is okay.
sheā€™s lost in it, finding my eyes once i stop. i give her a smirk, and she rolls her eyes. ā€œyes, paige.ā€
ā€œtell me you want it.ā€
ā€œso badly,ā€ she retorts.
i move more of the grey fabric out of the way before i drop my head again. she spreads her legs further, just enough for me to dip my tongue in between her folds, and sure enough, sheā€™s wet already.
i wrap both of my hands around her thighs, veins poking through from the grip as i pull her closer to my mouth. i suck a little harder, lapping up her juices and pushing it right back in.
she arches her back, indicating iā€™m doing something right. ā€œfeel good?ā€ i mumble, and she meets my eyes, nodding rapidly. i chuckle against her, teeth grazing her cunt, and she jolts.
ā€œshit, paige. donā€™t do that,ā€ she scolds.
ā€œwhy not?ā€ i stick my tongue out again, swiping it through her folds slowly before sucking her clit into my mouth. her head falls back, jaw open to let out some whiny, pornographic moan, like sheā€™d been holding it in.
ā€œgonna make me cā€”haā€”ome quicker.ā€
when i slide a finger in, she tenses up a little, body rising to the sky, not expecting the stretch. ā€œrelax, i got you,ā€ i chastised her, diving back in to mouth at her clit. her moans are like music i never wanna turn off, and iā€™m enjoying myself way too much to think i couldnā€™t do this for the rest of my damn life.
ā€œpaige,ā€ she gasps, biting down on her lip in attempt to refrain from being too loud. i donā€™t want that. i wanna hear her. my name falls from her lips in a breathless moan, and i groan.
ā€œsay my name again,ā€ i purr, finger curling inside her like itā€™ll drag it right out. ā€œi love hearing it, baby.ā€
ā€œmm, paigeeeee.ā€ she drags it out purposefully. it makes me smile.
she quickly grinds against my face, hand in my hair pushing me in further. deeper. i place my free hand on her stomach, pushing her dress up as it travels higher, right over one of her tits. she wasnā€™t wearing a bra.
i groan against her again, continuing my assault on her clit. ā€œyou taste so good, nai. so fuckinā€™ good.ā€ i feel her dripping from my mouth, out her hole, and i know sheā€™s closer to the edge, closer to soaking this blanket up.
she brings her hand up to her chest, embracing her own with mine, adding just enough pressure in the way she likes. ā€œjust like that,ā€ she breathed. i added another finger that slid in with no problem, making her yelp out, tightening her grip on my scalp.
ā€œso close, p. just like that,ā€ she repeats.
with one quick curl and movement, i can tell the tension she feels building up in her stomach. i remove my hand from her breast, using it to keep her legs open as she lets go. she repeats my name over and over again. it sounds like sin on tongue.
i stare at her in awe as she finishes on my fingers. they catch most of it, and i dip my head down to taste that too as she falls back completely, chest heaving, dress disheveled.
i give her a moment before i move back up. she stays there, out of breath, not moving once. i place a wet kiss to her lips, and she winces at the sensation, pushing my head away.
ā€œgross!ā€
i laugh, and my chest warms at her smile, even through the dark. ā€œyou were right, you know,ā€ i finally say, leaning to sit up on my elbow, like i didnā€™t just wreck this girl.
she rolls her eyes. ā€œi always am. about what, though?ā€
ā€œā€˜bout me being good at making a mess.ā€
